Tom Metzger: Self

Quotes 

• Louis Theroux : [looking at a racist cartoon]  What have we got there?

  Tom Metzger : Well, this is a typical white whore and a black guy.

  Louis Theroux : What is the problem with a white woman going out with a black man?

  Tom Metzger : Most black men are ugly, number one.

  Louis Theroux : You think you're better looking than, uh, Denzel Washington?

  Tom Metzger : Yeah.

  Louis Theroux : Do you really?

  Tom Metzger : Oh, yeah.

  Louis Theroux : What if that was put to a vote and you were outvoted?

  Tom Metzger : And if I had the money and the power, you know, making movies, I'd get 10 times more women than him.

  Louis Theroux : Do you really believe that? That seems delusional.

  Tom Metzger : Well, I believe it. I don't know whether it's delusional or not. Denzel Washington's in there because they have to do that, they have to...

  Louis Theroux : But I'm just talking about, just on looks, I mean, you've gotta, I mean...

  Tom Metzger : You think he's...? Well, he's not bad looking. He's not as ugly a nigger as most. Like Kobe Bryant.

  Louis Theroux : Why did you use that word?

  Tom Metzger : I use it all the time. I never used to use it.

  Louis Theroux : Would you not use it around me?

  Tom Metzger : Not use it? In my home I'll use it. If you don't want to say it in a restaurant or out someplace, I won't. But in my home I'll say whatever I want. And then it's up to you.

  Louis Theroux : That's your right. As a favour to me though.

  Tom Metzger : No. If I decide I wanna say nigger I'll say it. That really upsets you, don't it?

  Louis Theroux : Hmm... It doesn't really upset me...

  Tom Metzger : Well, good, then we'll go on. I'll show you some more cartoons.

  Louis Theroux : Just it makes me think slightly less of you.

  Tom Metzger : Well, that's OK. I'm not here to adopt you.

• [In Mexico, Tom chats to two fellow Americans from Sacramento] 

  Man : I dunno, you sound like a racist to me.

  Tom Metzger : I am a racist! What the hell are you talking about?

  Man : I'm not a racist.

  Tom Metzger : You're not a racist? Don't you want your grandchildren to look like you?

  Man : I don't give a shit what my grandchildren look like.

  Tom Metzger : Oh man, you're killing me!

• Tom Metzger : [opening his front door]  Good morning! Friend or foe?

  Louis Theroux : Well, we haven't worked that out yet, have we?

• [Louis is following Tom during his day job as TV repairman and has discovered that his oldest and most loyal client is a Peruvian man] 

  Louis Theroux : You're one of the most famous racists in America, maybe the most famous, and there you were saying that you were friends with this guy who looked to me non-white, or at least mixed-race, and it just seemed inconsistent. I just thought that was kind of weird.

  Tom Metzger : Well, maybe you need to be educated in the ways of the world.

  Louis Theroux : How do you mean? I mean, don't you see that as inconsistent? That you would say you have a friend who looks like he's mixed-race? I don't get that.

  Tom Metzger : [laughs]  Louis is hanging on this friend thing, a very abstract word. I would not debate the term "friend" on the man's doorstep. Now, you and I can debate it... I don't want to hurt the man's feelings.

  Louis Theroux : No, but there was more to it than that, Tom. I felt warmth between you.

  Tom Metzger : That's just an association, that you know these people, and common courtesy and politeness...

  Louis Theroux : Do you really not see what I'm trying to say?

  Tom Metzger : I see what you're trying to say but your brain is twisted.

  Louis Theroux : I think your brain is twisted.

  Tom Metzger : Well, then we agree, we both agree that we believe each other's brain is twisted.

  Louis Theroux : Yeah, but the facts are on my side.

  [Tom protests but Louis talks over him] 

  Louis Theroux : You have friends who are non-white and you pal around with people who are non-white and you're living a happy life in a gorgeous multicultural community...

  Tom Metzger : Whoa, whoa, whoa...

  Louis Theroux : And you keep pretending that you're a revolutionary but the facts of your existence completely undermine that.

  Tom Metzger : Oh, doesn't that totally fit your package?

  Louis Theroux : It's the truth though.

  Tom Metzger : [laughs]  This is really funny.

  Louis Theroux : Your day-to-day life is a standing refutation of everything you profess to believe.

• [Louis meets the notorious Tom Metzger at his house] 

  Tom Metzger : And what branch of the government are you from?

  Louis Theroux : I'm from the BBC, the broadcasting arm of the government.

  Tom Metzger : Oh, the heavy duty boys, huh? Come on in.

• [Tom is about to take Louis to a Neo-Nazi rally] 

  Tom Metzger : Yo, yo, yo. Are you ready to go to the Hate-nanny?

  Louis Theroux : [laughing]  Is that what they call it?

  Tom Metzger : The Hate-nanny.

• [Louis, Tom and John are going to Mexico for the day] 

  Louis Theroux : [driving the car]  So what is the plan when we get there?

  Tom Metzger : [to John]  Why don't you tell him the truth? You just wanna get to that whore down there. That's what you're really saying.

  John Malpezzi : I wouldn't refer to a lovely lady like that as a whore.

  Tom Metzger : Well, if you pay money, she's a whore.
