Barber Shop: Martin has just finished cutting Walt’s hair.
...
Martin: There, you finally look like a human being again. You shouldn’t wait so long between haircuts, you cheap son of a bitch.
Walt: Yeah, I’m surprised you’re still around. I was always hoping you’d die off and they’d get somebody in here who knew what he was doing instead of the do-up dago you are.
Martin: That’ll be ten bucks, Walt.
Walt: 10 bucks? Jesus Christ! What are you, half Jew or something? You keep raising the prices.
Martin: It’s been 10 bucks the last 5 years, you hard-nosed, cheap, Polack son of a bitch.
Walt: Keep the change.
Martin: See you in 3 weeks, prick.
Walt: Not if I see you first, dipstick.

Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino? Great movie!
The intercultural issues of a minority (the girls go to college, the boys go to jail).

...
And has your eloquence been waiting to be corrected as to the fact that the meaning iswas 42, not 41?
