'The Dictator' was co-written by, and stars, Sacha Baron Cohen. The film is directed by Larry Charles, who also directed 'Borat' and 'Bruno.' 'The Dictator' cast includes Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley, John C. Reilly, Megan Fox, J.B. Smoove and Bobby Lee, among others.

Monkey on Roller Skates

Admiral General Aladeen: "I love it when women go to school. It's like seeing a monkey on roller skates -- it means nothing to them, but it's so adorable for us..."

When Aladeen tries to get into the United Nations to deliver his speech, he can't. The hotel manager's made sure that no one, including security, will recognize him. After Aladeen gets sprayed by security, Anna Faris' character picks him up and offers him a job. How long will THAT last?

All Arabs to Me

Hotel Manager (to Admiral General Aladeen): "...I am here for your protection, but I have to say, I hate Arabs."
Admiral General Aladeen: "I'm not an Arab."
Hotel Manager: "You're all Arabs to me: The blacks, the Jews...those blue, tree-hugging queers in Avatar..."

Leave it to Sacha Baron Cohen to slip in an Avatar jab in the form of a highly-offensive racist "joke." This hotel manager is trouble, big time.

Fireworks Over the Statue of Liberty

Admiral General Aladeen: "I love being an American..." (speaking in foreign language) "I'd love to see the fireworks over the Statue of Liberty."

Admiral General Aladeen manages to terrify his fellow tourists on a helicopter ride over New York City. He's telling his companion (in a language that sounds very much like Arabic) that he'd love to see the fireworks over the Statue of Liberty, but his explosion-type gestures scare the passengers to death.

America

Admiral General Aladeen: "Ah, America, the birthplace of AIDS!"

Yes, Admiral General Aladeen is definitely not the kind of guy you can warm up to. In fact, he's a total and complete a-hole. As such, he's not exactly getting a warm welcome (note the boos in the crowd as he parades by).
