From Harry and Tonto

The elderly white everyman in the 1970s comes to sit on a New York park bench with his last friend. As he sits, he huffs a question at the squat Jewish man who responds in a thick Polish accent...

Did you see that?

No.

That fellow almost ran me over (ran over me).

Damn capitalists.

How do you know he was a capitalist?

Well, what kind of car was it?

I don't know. A big grey job.

Capitalist!

No Jacob, I mean, if it was a small car, would it make the fellow not a capitalist?

But it wasn't a small car.

I don't understand your logic.

Why should you be any different than the rest of America.
