5. Dev: “You see The Social Network? Max Minghella plays an Indian guy. He’s white. They browned him up.”

Ravi: “No no, I read he’s one-sixteenth Indian.”

Dev: “Who cares? If you go back far enough we’re all one-sixteenth something. I’m probably one-sixteenth black. You think they’re gonna let me play Blade?”

6. Dev: “Man, why’d you drag me to a work party?”

Denise: “’Cause you’re my buddy. You’re my friend. I want you to meet my coworkers.”

Dev: “Yeah. But don’t you feel like those are just assumptions you can make about any Indian person?”

9. “Long term relationships are tough. You can’t just expect a big, roaring fire right away, right? You know, you can’t put the big logs in first. You start with the small stuff. Kindling, all right? Then you add that, *then* you put in the big logs and *then* you have a roaring fire. And that’s a good relationship. But be careful, sometimes kindling is hard to find, you know? Good wood. So, don’t take it for granted.” ― Benjamin
