Quote from Mr. Ehlert in The Scratch

Frankie: [v.o.] The day started off lousy, and then it got weird.
Mr. Ehlert: So out of the goodness of my heart, I'm gonna reach into my own wallet, and instead of buying that second pontoon boat, I'm gonna spend the money on buying some TV ad time. I decided to dust off my old commercial from when we were up to our jockstraps in good times.
Woman: [on tape] Help! Help! I'm being assaulted by high prices!
Mr. Ehlert: [on tape] Just keep cool, little lady. I'm Don Ehlert of Ehlert Motors, and they're not gonna get away with that on my lot. [funk music plays] [bangs] I'm shooting down high prices... [shoots an African-American man] And bad service. [shoots an Asian-American]
Frankie: Uh, Mr. Ehlert, you can't run that commercial. It's racist.
Mr. Ehlert: What are you talking about? I'm shooting high prices. It's racist to shoot high prices?
Bob: When high prices is a Black man, yes, sir.
Frankie: I just think maybe if you made a new commercial, you might appeal to an entirely new group of people. You know, young people... Non-racists.
Mr. Ehlert: You two write me up a new commercial and have it on my desk tomorrow morning.
Man: [over PA] Frankie, you have a call on line one. Your son Brick's school is on line one.
