Transcript:
Huey: You're actually gonna chase down that old woman? Riley: You &@*# straight! She old - she can't move that fast... Huey: And carry her bags to her house for twenty dollars? Riley: Man, for twenty dollars I'd carry you over there! Huey: And you don't find serving as manual labor for the bourgeois to be "counterrevolutionary"? Riley: And that would be the "revolution of dummies who wanna stay broke"? I'll risk it.

I assume Huey’s going to do manual labor for those who don’t have money to pay?
Or does he assume others will do the labor for him?
