"You’re missing me, boy, me ! I love my state! I love my people! Sure, you despise Louisiana, Mr. Harvard Business Boy—it’s corrupt, it’s too hot, it’s half under water, it’s dirt poor, it’s poisoned with years of pesticides and pollution, it’s all outta gas and oil for you Yankees to burn in the winter. Half its people speak the wrong goddamn language, but goddamn you, people are still real here ! My people got soul, they’ve got spirit, they’re authentic real-live people ! We’re not like the rest of the USA, where people are too sick and shocked and tired and spied-on even to fight for a decent future."
