Stereotypes III¶
There’s an exchange in Sam Raimi’s movie Oz the Great and Powerful, where the fake wizard, speculating on the incentives for success, says to his monkey(ish) companion and servant Finley:
“We’re going to find this wicked witch. Steal her wand. I’ll get
that big pile of gold. And you can have a nice pile of bananas,
alright?”
“Bananas. Oh, I see, because I’m a monkey? I must love bananas,
right? — That is a vicious stereotype.”
“You don’t like bananas?”
“Of course I love bananas. I’m a monkey. Don’t be ridiculous. I
just don’t like you saying it …”
(I seem to remember Sailer citing a similar joke at some point — probably from a more reputable source.)
