From Borat: Borat: [while driving] Look, there is a woman in a car! Can we follow her and maybe make a sexy time with her? Driving Instructor: No, no, no, no, no, no! Borat: A-why not? Driving Instructor: Because a woman has the right to choose who she has sex with. Borat: [stunned] WHAT...? You joke? Driving Instructor: It must be consensual. How 'bout that? Borat: Ahahahahaha! Driving Instructor: That's good, huh? Borat: [stops laughing] Is not good for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kppNdrjgJcE (dialogue is bit a halfway in) The whole movie is one big culture clash. Borat is the inappropriate foreigner who constantly says outrageous things, challenging the beliefs (and the patience) of all those around him.

From "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels": Lawrence Jamieson: Freddy, as a younger man, I was a sculptor, a painter, and a musician. There was just one problem: I wasn't very good. As a matter of fact, I was dreadful. I finally came to the frustrating conclusion that I had taste and style, but not talent. I knew my limitations. We all have our limitations, Freddy. Fortunately, I discovered that taste and style were commodities that people desired. Freddy, what I am saying is: know your limitations. You are a moron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i4YILBMY9g Great scene where Michael Caine (Lawrence Jamieson), the sophisticated con man, gives fatherly advice to his crude American counterpart, Steve Martin (Freddy Benson). Jamieson thinks that this little speech will get rid of Freddy, but what Freddy lacks in "talent" he makes up for in persistence... so, yes, Freddy will be back to screw up Jamieson's next scheme. Of course, what

one of my favorite movies! Everything is Illuminated - this entire movie is a giant culture clash. (not sure if this particular scene qualifies as culture clash per se, but... it works) i can't find the screenplay - only a "script" of sorts that doesn't offer anything other than dialogue (no action lines, etc) and there's already dialogue hardcoded on this clip. http://youtu.be/um2p4GlEbKg

this scene is so simple and direct. it's spot on stereotypical with regard to look, attitude, and action (i know eastern europe. nailed it.)... but the pauses and beats and cleanliness of lines and colors of the set... the music... the obvious differences btwn ages, age culture clashing (btwn Alex and his Grandfather), and country culture clashing (duh!), the curious diet clashing, and the ultimate humor they all see in it is wonderful. i also love that Alex finds it necessary to buffer the abrasiveness of Grandfather, as well as make an excuse for "Jonfen", who is obviously American, to the waitress.

AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD (1972) written and directed by Werner Herzog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkxEqJp-pSE BROTHER GASPAR: (v.o.)Twenty-fourth of January. For the first time we saw two of the savages. They seemed to be trusting. CONQUISTADOR:I’ve got the man, hold him. CONQUSTADOR 2:I’ve got the woman. CONQUISTADOR 3:What a fish. The Indian Okello talks to the “savage.” AGUIRRE: What did he say? OKELLO: He says he’s a jaguar. He knows from his ancestors that one day the sons of the sun would arrive from afar, through great perils. The strangers would come with thunder made with tubes. They’ve awaited the sons of the sun for a long time, for on this river God never finished His Creation. AGUIRRE: Look at this gold! Where did he get it? DON FERNANDO: Gold! BROTHER GASPAR: Gold! Ask him! Ask him where El Dorado is. Where did this gold come from? ... BROTHER GASPAR: Has this heathen heard of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, and of our mission and the True Word of God? ... BROTHER GASPAR; This is a Bible. It contains the Word of God that we are bringing to lighten the darkness of their world. Has he understood that this Book contains the Word of God? Take it in your hand, my son. OKELLO: He says it doesn’t speak. ... BROTHER GASPAR:(v.o.) It is hard work. These savages are hard to convert. A tragic culture clash here, an encounter between two members of an indigenous tribe and a group of invading Christians whose actions are anything but truly Christian. The self-righteousness in the dialogue and the euphemism as the native man is "converted" are chilling.
