- Ken: I call it the Clown Effect. At some point we have to decide if our love of performing outweighs the circus of xenophobic bullshit. And if you decide that it does, then put on your silly outfit, paint your face, and go entertain the crowd. Because that's what we love to do and why should we let anyone ruin that for us?
- Ken's Manager: That indie film you were in comes out on DVD soon so maybe a certain client of mine will raise from the cutting room floor like a Phoenix from the ashes. That's an Asian thing, right? A Phoenix?
- Casting Director: Well, let's say your character worked in Little Italy... in Hong Kong. There's bound to be one, right?
- Casting Assistant: Definitely. They're everywhere.
- Casting Director: And now he's here, in America, serving great Italian food... by way of Hong Kong. Can you give that a try?
- Ryan: It's one thing when you're at a bar and some asshole with yellow-fever tries to live out a fantasy. But when every audition, every set feels exactly the same way, it's frustrating.
- Karate Guy: Age is just a number, Ken. Pat Morita was fifty-two when he filmed 'Karate Kid.'
- Ken: Yeah, he waxed-on/waxed-off, not whatever the hell that is.
