Eric Quote #823

Quote from Eric in Let's Spend the Night Together

William Barnett: You know, I'm beginning to feel like you haven't had a lot of Black people in this house.
Eric: Well, I mean, it's certainly not because we didn't want to.
Kitty: Right, right, no, it's just there haven't been any available.
Jackie: You know, it's Wisconsin.
William Barnett: Well, I know all about Wisconsin. The only place around here where you'll see white and Black together is on a cow. [laughs] [Kitty and Eric belatedly laugh]
Eric: That's right! Sure!
