For 20--- solid quote
character: You're the guy that got caught in that avalanche, right?
Sam Jackson Character: Yeah, I'm the one.
character: Like black men don't have enough ways to get killed without climbing up some stupid ass mountain in the middle of God's nowhere! You leave that to the white folks! Brother!
