This is WHZU,

the Radio Voice of Hillman College.

You're riding with Dwayne Wayne in his magical, musical time machine,

traveling through time and place.

Now, today, we're live from The Pit,

where taste buds go to die.

Oh, a little reminder.

On Friday, the music machine will take a special musical journey

to honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Be sure to check it out.

And, now, hold onto your hats, ladies and gentlemen,

as we go back in time to 1976,

a time when everybody had afros,

including Barbra Streisand.

Barbra Streisand, yeah.

Mr. Gaines, thanks for letting us broadcast from The Pit.

Well, nobody told me nothing about all these cords and cables.

I come out the kitchen, nearly broke my neck.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't need "sorry."

I need a socket to plug in my toaster.

Let's get him a toaster.

- Dwayne. - Ho!

- Do you know what this is? - A piano.

Dapper D's latest album.

- Dapper D? - Yes.

Where'd you get this?

- My cousin works at the pressing plant. - Did he steal it?

Does it matter?

No other DJ in the country has this.

If you wanna be the first, play it now.

Cue it up, Ernie.

Fasten your seat belts, ladies and gentlemen.

WHZU, the first station in the nation

to bring you this musical sensation.

Dapper D's yet-to-be-released album

Cleaning Out the House.

Yes!

Now, do me a favor.

Just remember where you were when you heard it,

and who was the man that played it for ya.

Oh, oh, and the man that gave it to the man.

? I'm so afraid about losing my cookie ?

? Well, the word is out You really wanna play that funk ?

? I'm so afraid about losing my cookie ?

What in the world are you listening to?

Dwayne's radio show. Shh!

What is this, his salute to the gutter?

Did he say what I think he said?

? Let's get naked for your massage ?

This man's a filth-monger!

Tryin' his best to shock respectable people like-

What did he say?

? She better be cleaning, too ?

? We can watch ourselves While we're doing the do ?

The ladies are into this.

I cannot hear what the brother is saying, but I suggest we memorize it.

- Me, too, yo. Ernie, crank it up. - All right.

Hey, now what happened to the music?

Yeah?

We're off the air, man.

What?

Give me that. Who's this?

What happened to my show?

She what?

Oh, well, we'll see about that!

What's going on?

Dean Hughes called the radio station and had me pulled off the air.

You're kidding!

You didn't tell her it was my tape, did you?

They shut him down.

- What? - Why would they do that?

Well, I can think of a few reasons.

Starting with people moaning like they're heifers in heat.

I'm gonna go down there and find out what's going on.

- I'm going, too. - Hey, we'll all go.

Yes.

Hey, man, don't leave all this mess here.

Dean Hughes' office, please hold.

Dean Hughes' office, please hold.

What?

How long have you been holding?

Um�

Okay, okay, I'll transfer you right away.

Hey, get ready. Here you go.

Receiver�

extension�

star�

number.

Number, star.

Right.

You've lost another one.

Well, if it's important, they'll call back, right?

With you answering, we'll never know, will we?

Randall,

haven't you ever heard of positive reinforcement?

Dwayne.

Hey, Freddie. Freddie, what are you doing here?

I work here now.

She's executive in charge of shredding my nerves.

I need to see Dean Hughes.

She's home, sick with the flu.

They're trained to lie.

She called the radio station and she had me pulled off the air.

No way, how could she?

She must have called from home.

Well, I need to see somebody.

Hello, look, if you'd like to make an appointment-

I don't want an appointment. I want to see Dean Hughes ASAP.

No, I want to see her sooner� PDQ.

Right, yeah.

They can't just take you off the air.

What about the First Amendment?

Okay, look. I have an opening Thursday next week.

Randall, I'm not waiting till next Thursday

to find out why my show was bagged.

I'm not waiting another five minutes.

I'm afraid you're gonna have to.

Okay, fine.

I'll wait.

I'll wait� right here.

- Yeah. - That's right. We will.

- We will? - Wait. What are you doing?

Looks to me like we're taking over your building, man.

That's right.

People, it's almost six o'clock, and I have to lock up the building.

I have a spastic colon.

Go home and have some fiber, Randall.

Robert, you can come study here. It's a very quiet protest.

Get off that phone.

That was your roommate. Yes, it's his colon again.

Do what you wanna do, it's a free country.

You have every right to be a chicken!

These phones are not for anarchists.

Randall, grow up and live.

Now, hear this.

Now, hear this.

Hillman College is officially under siege.

Oh, Lord.

Hey, by any chance, did you bring my sleeping bag?

No could do. It was either your sleeping bag or the popcorn maker.

It's for the greater good.

This is so incredible.

They say our generation is apathetic,

self-centered, materialistic.

Just look at us.

Do you know where I can plug in my electric blanket?

Hey, hey, hey! Get your feet out of those drawers!

All right, everybody, listen up.

We are not here to party,

because we have nothing to party about.

That's right.

We need people to man these phones�

Yeah!

- �to be lookouts. - Yeah!

Look out, here comes Whitley.

Whitley!

Whitley! Whitley!

Save your breath.

I just came here to drop off

this dinner menu for the Alumni Winterfest.

Oh, and by the way,

Kimberly, Mr. Gaines is looking for you.

Work? I forgot all about it.

Well, he hasn't.

He said if you don't show up in five minutes,

you can kiss your hairnet goodbye.

I think this is little bit more important than serving burgers.

Fine.

Exercise your constitutional right

to be unemployed.

Okay, everybody, listen up.

I think it's time

that we heard from the man that had the courage

and the vision

to play the tape that I, Ron Johnson, gave him.

The man without whom there would be no protest.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you

Dwayne "The Time Machine" Wayne!

- Dwayne Wayne! - Dwayne Wayne!

Dwayne Wayne! Dwayne Wayne!

They're clamoring for you. Inspire them.

Inspire them.

- Dwayne Wayne! - Dwayne Wayne!

Dwayne Wayne! Dwayne Wayne!

Dwayne Wayne! Dwayne Wayne!

Hi.

Um�

There's a lot of you all.

First off, I wanna say thank you for coming, all of you.

And, um, thanks for your support of me and of my show.

And the First Amendment.

- And the First Amendment� - Yeah!

Um, yeah, the First Amendment�

Yeah!

�which guarantees the right of free speech

and a free society, y'all.

- Yeah! - That's right.

They censored his radio show.

What's next? Our libraries?

Our newspapers?

Our letters home?

No!

They may have pulled the plug on my show, everybody�

�but they cannot, and I say not pull the plug on the constitution!

Yeah!

The people united will never be defeated!

The people united will never be defeated!

Attention, all radicals!

I'm going home!

Now, do you leave peacefully

or do I have to lock you in?

I say lock us in!

That will get the dean's attention.

Lock us in!

Lock us in! Lock us in!

- Lock us in! - Fine. Have it your way.

Lock us in!

You know, they can lock the windows

and they can lock the doors,

but they cannot lock out justice!

Justice now!

Justice now! Justice now!

Randall, that bureaucratic twerp has locked me in the building!

- Call the police! - Justice now!

Justice now! Justice now!

Justice now! Justice now!

- Listen to that ruckus. - Mm-hmm.

You know what this is?

An excuse to make noise.

Vernon, think of this as a learning experience.

The only way you learn is in a room with a blackboard

and a picture of the President of the United States.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

This whole country was shaped on civil disobedience.

Without it, we wouldn't have any rights.

What is going on in there?

Dean Hughes took Dwayne's radio show off the air.

Oh, so they're throwing a party for Dean Hughes?

They are protesting,

and carrying on like a bunch of hippie children.

What's the administration gonna do about this?

They're meeting over at President Bracey's house.

Well, I know what I'd do.

I'd send the Colonel up there.

Point a few tanks at the door.

Mr. Gaines, how in the world

did we overlook you for Secretary of Defense?

I just hope the administration doesn't come down too hard on those guys.

I'm sure that their heart is in the right place,

even if their bodies aren't.

Well, I'm just glad to see so many people gathered

for something other than a party.

Well, I agree.

This way, if a cause does actually sneak up on them,

they might know what to do.

That's how I learned.

I've been a Black activist since I was 12.

Yeah, I'm sure you really helped the struggle.

Well, in my own way, I did.

When I was in junior high, I formed ujamaa,

which is Swahili for brotherhood, social change

and parties on the weekend.

Now, those were exciting times, the March on Washington.

I was way across the street.

But when I heard Dr. King's voice so strong and clear,

it was like we were all in a neighborhood church.

I was in boot camp. Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

The whole troop was huddled around a transistor radio.

I was just learning how to walk.

- Dean Hughes. - Oof.

Now, this is a profile in courage.

The woman leaves her sick bed to reclaim her building.

Actually, they have to clean it before I claim it.

You got to go in.

There won't be no building left.

Oh, Mr. Gaines, everything is under control.

We're sending someone up to talk to them,

someone closer to their own age,

someone who doesn't have a temperature of 101.

Good luck, Jaleesa.

Actually, Walter, we'd like to send you.

You'd have better luck with a tank.

You people don't know anything about negotiations.

If you go to the administration with 20 demands,

they've got to give you ten.

Not if 19 of 'em are stupid.

What is so stupid about co-ed showers?

Brother, you're lowering the IQ of our mob mentality.

Ron, the purpose is to get Dwayne's show back,

and to lift the veil of oppression from all student media.

Well, I find it very oppressive to shower with just men.

Excuse me.

I have a demand to add to that list.

Get me the hell out of here!

Yo, Ernie, what's up with the heat?

I played with the thermostat five different ways, man.

It's gotta be on the timer.

They're trying to freeze us out.

- We're gonna freeze to death! - Whitley, keep it down, please.

What happened to my right to free speech?

You're all gonna die.

Ow!

My silence has a price.

His electric blanket.

No!

Go sit on the popcorn maker.

Two police cars are circling the building.

It's the man!

Oh, great.

Now we can see what size handcuffs everybody wears.

Oh, my dad's gonna love this.

"Detective Reese, when's your daughter coming home?"

"Oh, in about three to five years."

Look, we are not gonna get sent to jail.

And if we do, it won't be for three to five years.

We certainly won't get a police record�

I don't think.

I hope we do get arrested.

At least we'll get some food.

We don't need food.

We have our cause to nourish us!

You know, I wouldn't mind a slice of pizza to go with that cause.

We have been here for six hours.

Why hasn't the dean phoned yet?

Somebody's coming!

It's the man!

Whoa, whoa! Everybody, be cool! Be cool!

Just remember, remember we've got the truth on our side.

- Yes! - Then we lose.

I bet it's the dean, and she's gonna have�

�everybody's behind.

Walter, what are you doing here?

The administration sent me to talk to you.

We don't even get a dean! What is this?

By the time you get out of here, you're gonna have plenty of deans.

Now, what is this all about?

These are our demands.

"Restore Dwayne Wayne's radio show."

- "No censorship of student media." - No.

- "And total immunity for all protestors." - Yeah!

I'll take these back to the deans and see if they'll negotiate.

- Right. - Right.

Walter, how much trouble are we really in?

Man, somewhere between a little, and like,

"Daddy, could you come pick me up at the airport?"

We believe in what we're doing.

Man, for your sake, I hope so.

Oh!

The door is now unlocked.

Take Whitley.

Oh, no.

There has to be one sane voice in this misguided mob.

And I'm gonna stay here and talk to each and every one of you myself.

The only way to change the system is to work within the system.

Whitley, go home.

And Dean Hughes will be happy to know that I am here.

Whitley, go home!

? I don't care, I don't care I'm not going to� ?

? La, la, la, la, la, la ?

I wonder what they're gonna do to us.

You know what they did to the kids who took over this building in '73?

Freddie, we can't even worry about that. We're in too deep.

What did they do?

A lot of them were suspended.

The leaders were expelled.

Freddie, we're right, though.

Yeah.

We're also hungry.

I'm gonna go check on that fruit on Dean Hughes' desk.

Don't bother, I already checked. It's wax.

I don't care.

Heavy lies the head that wears the crown, huh?

Pfft. Yeah, something like that.

Well, after a few minutes of Dapper D,

it will give you something else to think about.

He's so hot, you probably won't even need a blanket.

Well, I probably lost my boyfriend,

my job,

and my parents are gonna kill me.

But I know we're doing the right thing.

Dwayne�

we're doing the right thing.

Yeah, yeah.

This guy is too much.

Walter, what's happening? What's going on out there?

One dean says, "Give them everything they want."

- Ho- - But he's in the minority.

The rest of them are split between suspension and probation,

and one dean is talking about expulsion.

But he keeps nodding off during the vote.

- So, what's the word, man? - What's happening with our demands?

Um, Walter, can I talk to you in there for a second?

I got it.

Excuse me.

Have you heard Dapper D's tape?

Oh, just some of the more meatier verses, man.

This brother's got weird ideas about housekeeping.

Weird? The homeboy's a freak!

Didn't you know that before you put it on the air?

But I didn't listen to it.

I wanted to be the first to get it on the air.

So there wasn't time.

See, you didn't make time.

Walter, don't tell me things I already know.

All right, Dwayne!

It looks like he's really giving it to him.

Just look at him. He is not backing down one bit.

Please don't make me go out there

and tell those people I messed up. I'm scared.

I'm not gonna tell them for you.

Then knock me unconscious and drag me out by my feet.

Can I get a rain check on that?

I smell eggs.

And bacon.

And sausage.

Spicy sausage!

Good morning, children.

Breakfast is served.

Mm-mm!

To get it,

you must leave the building.

I repeat,

leave the building

to help yourselves to these delicious fixings.

- Mm-mm! - Wait!

Wait, this is just a cheap ploy to break our solidarity.

It's broken.

Throw me up some bacon.

Remember why we're here!

We are here by the will of the people.

We won't be driven out by the force of breakfast!

Ahem! Good morning.

- Finally. - It's the dean.

Dean Hughes, I just got here,

to pick up these applications for grad schools.

I don't think you'll be needing them.

Why are there teeth marks in my fruit?

It's been a rough night for everybody.

And while you were here,

trying to pretend that, uh, your cause would be enough to keep you warm,

I've been doing a little research on, uh, Dapper D.

No radio station in the country

is playing Cleaning Out The House.

That's because the brother's too deep.

The brother's about as deep as a cesspool.

Mr. D is not being played

because the stations do not want to lose their license.

And I don't want that to happen to WHZU.

- But what about our demands? - Yeah.

I demand you leave the building before eight o'clock,

or I will have you arrested for trespassing.

We're not moving till justice is served.

- We're here for justice! - That's right.

Justice! Justice!

- Justice! - Ho, everybody.

Everybody, um, listen up.

A mistake was made.

Sure was.

Free speech.

Free speech! Free speech!

No, no!

Hey, everybody, please, just be quiet and listen.

We're all here fighting for free speech.

Uh, when our forefathers wrote

"Congress shall make no law

abridging freedom of speech or of the press,"

I'm not sure they meant go out and make tapes like these.

Maybe they did.

What I'm trying to say is, um�

I'm not so sure it was right for me to play this on the air.

Wait, no, it was jammin'.

We slammed. I mean, it was cool, I was cool.

But to play it without listening to it first,

that was wrong.

Are you saying that we slept here for nothing?

No, my brother, I-

- What are you saying? - Here's what I'm saying.

Leave the building peacefully and promptly,

and I promise you, no disciplinary action will be taken against any of you.

All right!

What about his show?

Ah, yes��the show.

Mr. Wayne, as of today

your Time Machine is off the air.

- Aw! - For one month.

However,

you will be permitted

to air your special tribute to Dr. King.

Well� �it's almost eight o'clock,

and I don't know about you,

but I'm going to get myself some biscuits.

Good work, babe.

Dwayne, I'm so proud of you. You did it.

Oh, you were there with me all the way, Freddie.

- I'm impressed. - Impressed?

So, what you gonna do now?

Shower.

Good, 'cause you stink.

Today is a very special day for a lot of reasons.

We're honoring a man whose non-violent protest

brought this country closer to fulfilling its dream

and its promise.

Happy birthday, Reverend King.

? Walk on through the wind ?

? Walk on through the rain ?

? And you'll never You'll never walk alone ?
