Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:41.841 --> 00:00:44.105
Satire, one A.
2
00:00:44.144 --> 00:00:46.442
A literary work
in which human vice or folly...
3
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.346
is ridiculed
or attacked scornfully.
4
00:00:49.382 --> 00:00:55.343
B--The branch of literature
that composes such work.
5
00:00:55.388 --> 00:00:59.017
2--lrony,
derision or caustic wit...
6
00:00:59.059 --> 00:01:03.792
used to attack or expose
folly, vice, or stupidity.
7
00:01:03.830 --> 00:01:09.826
Bonjour.
My name is Pierre Delacroix.
8
00:01:09.869 --> 00:01:14.829
I am a television writer.
A creative person.
9
00:01:14.874 --> 00:01:19.174
I'm one of those people
responsible for what you view...
10
00:01:19.212 --> 00:01:21.680
on your idiot box.
11
00:01:21.714 --> 00:01:25.445
The problem is,
not enough of you...
12
00:01:25.485 --> 00:01:29.353
have been watching out there
in television land.
13
00:01:29.389 --> 00:01:32.358
With the onslaught
of the internet, video...
14
00:01:32.392 --> 00:01:38.729
and interactive games,
900 channels to choose from...
15
00:01:38.765 --> 00:01:43.862
our valued audience
has dramatically eroded.
16
00:01:43.903 --> 00:01:46.963
To put it
in much simpler terms...
17
00:01:47.006 --> 00:01:51.966
Iike rats fleeing
from a sinking ship.
18
00:01:52.011 --> 00:01:55.606
People are tuning out
by the millions...
19
00:01:55.648 --> 00:02:01.052
which, needless to say,
is bad for business.
20
00:02:13.700 --> 00:02:16.533
Let's get it.
21
00:02:16.569 --> 00:02:18.764
If you don't dance,
we don't eat.
22
00:02:18.805 --> 00:02:21.069
You slow, we blow.
You snooze, we lose.
23
00:02:21.107 --> 00:02:23.075
Come on, get up.
24
00:02:23.109 --> 00:02:24.838
Seriously, son, get up.
25
00:02:54.207 --> 00:02:56.334
He went to Juilliard,
School of the Arts.
26
00:02:56.376 --> 00:02:59.106
I gave him his first break.
He's my partner.
27
00:03:01.548 --> 00:03:04.449
Don't hurt 'em.
28
00:03:12.625 --> 00:03:13.785
Let me shine 'em up.
29
00:03:21.868 --> 00:03:23.062
Wind it up, baby.
30
00:03:28.141 --> 00:03:30.871
What? Now, before you go...
31
00:03:30.910 --> 00:03:32.605
don't forget to give us
that cheese.
32
00:03:32.645 --> 00:03:37.344
That m-o-n-e...Why?
Because we broke. What's up?
33
00:03:37.383 --> 00:03:38.407
Thank you very much.
Bless you.
34
00:03:38.451 --> 00:03:40.919
Thank you, thank you.
35
00:03:40.954 --> 00:03:43.218
Hey, Sling blade,
what's happening? Thank you.
36
00:03:43.256 --> 00:03:44.553
There you go.
37
00:03:44.591 --> 00:03:46.286
Bless you from the bottom
of your heart, baby.
38
00:03:46.326 --> 00:03:48.556
Big Dela!
39
00:03:48.595 --> 00:03:50.586
It's the Dela man!
40
00:03:50.630 --> 00:03:53.690
There you go with the suits.
I like that.
41
00:03:53.733 --> 00:03:55.200
Good morning, Womack.
42
00:03:55.235 --> 00:03:57.567
Looks like you going
to an exorcism, man.
43
00:03:57.604 --> 00:03:59.572
I like the suit, though.
It's pretty nice.
44
00:03:59.606 --> 00:04:00.538
Thank you.
45
00:04:00.573 --> 00:04:02.438
Why don't you help me
and Manray out, man?
46
00:04:02.475 --> 00:04:05.876
We're trying to get some work.
You work for the network.
47
00:04:05.912 --> 00:04:08.210
I'll work on something.
48
00:04:08.248 --> 00:04:12.082
Sloan says you're too talented
to be dancing in the street.
49
00:04:12.118 --> 00:04:14.416
Word? Why don't you
tell Sloan to come see me?
50
00:04:14.454 --> 00:04:17.821
I'll do that.
Good day, gentlemen.
51
00:04:17.857 --> 00:04:19.848
"I'll do that."
He a damn magician?
52
00:04:19.892 --> 00:04:22.554
You work for one of the biggest
networks in the country!
53
00:04:22.595 --> 00:04:27.089
Somebody put a 10 up in here.
Check it.
54
00:04:27.133 --> 00:04:29.567
Here we go.
One for you, three for me.
55
00:04:29.602 --> 00:04:31.797
You the feet, I'm the brains.
Told you, boy.
56
00:04:31.838 --> 00:04:33.396
Yeah, baby.
57
00:04:33.673 --> 00:04:35.868
You have a grand day.
58
00:04:36.743 --> 00:04:39.507
Good morning, Steve.
59
00:04:39.545 --> 00:04:41.206
Hello, Margaret.
60
00:04:42.382 --> 00:04:43.713
Bartholomew.
61
00:04:45.418 --> 00:04:47.352
Kip!
62
00:04:47.387 --> 00:04:48.786
Hey, Jarma.
63
00:04:49.889 --> 00:04:51.857
...18 to 49-year-old audience.
64
00:04:51.891 --> 00:04:54.223
Do you understand?
It's pretty--
65
00:04:56.195 --> 00:04:58.755
Monsieur Delacroix.
66
00:04:58.798 --> 00:05:01.494
-Hello.
-Good morning.
67
00:05:01.534 --> 00:05:03.434
This very important
staff meeting...
68
00:05:03.469 --> 00:05:07.405
commenced exactly
32 minutes ago.
69
00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:09.465
My apologies around the room
for my tardiness.
70
00:05:09.509 --> 00:05:11.272
Do you have any idea
how much information...
71
00:05:11.311 --> 00:05:13.541
can be dispensed
in one minute alone?
72
00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:17.106
Sir, had I been informed
of this important meeting...
73
00:05:17.150 --> 00:05:19.448
I would have canceled
my Pilates session this morning.
74
00:05:19.485 --> 00:05:21.180
I did not find out about it--
75
00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:23.484
You're telling me
that everyone in the room...
76
00:05:23.523 --> 00:05:25.753
knew about this little
get-together except for you.
77
00:05:25.792 --> 00:05:30.593
People, you can pull a Rodman
like our friend Delacroix...
78
00:05:30.630 --> 00:05:33.531
but I guarantee you'll be sent
packing just like him.
79
00:05:33.566 --> 00:05:36.797
These are the ratings, people.
Read 'em and weep.
80
00:05:36.836 --> 00:05:39.396
As you can plainly see...
81
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.067
the Continental Network System
is languishing.
82
00:05:42.108 --> 00:05:46.010
Look at 'em, people.
Look very closely.
83
00:05:46.045 --> 00:05:50.311
We are booty, caca.
We are doo-doo.
84
00:05:50.350 --> 00:05:52.147
I don't like to be
the laughingstock...
85
00:05:52.185 --> 00:05:54.380
of the entire broadcast
industry.
86
00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:57.389
I don't like these pricks
who call themselves my bosses...
87
00:05:57.423 --> 00:05:58.651
breathing down my back.
88
00:05:58.691 --> 00:06:00.181
It makes me sweat.
89
00:06:00.226 --> 00:06:02.592
These numbers
are totally unacceptable.
90
00:06:02.628 --> 00:06:04.152
These numbers have to go up.
91
00:06:06.833 --> 00:06:08.391
Question.
92
00:06:08.434 --> 00:06:10.095
What do you want us to do?
93
00:06:10.136 --> 00:06:11.660
Dumb-ass question.
94
00:06:11.704 --> 00:06:15.299
I want you to write
some material that is funny.
95
00:06:15.341 --> 00:06:19.038
Your material is about
as funny as a dead baby.
96
00:06:19.078 --> 00:06:22.809
It's not dope. It's not new.
It's not sexy.
97
00:06:22.849 --> 00:06:23.873
It sucks.
98
00:06:23.916 --> 00:06:26.180
Thank you, Fish. It sucks.
99
00:06:26.219 --> 00:06:27.846
This meeting is over.
100
00:06:27.887 --> 00:06:29.878
But I want you to think
about what I just said...
101
00:06:29.922 --> 00:06:31.719
and how you can deliver.
102
00:06:31.758 --> 00:06:36.024
Otherwise, things are
gonna get very grim around here.
103
00:06:36.062 --> 00:06:37.893
Monsieur Delacroix.
104
00:06:37.930 --> 00:06:40.194
Can I see you
in my office now, please?
105
00:06:41.367 --> 00:06:42.425
Yes.
106
00:06:42.468 --> 00:06:44.800
Seeing that you're
all stretched out and shit.
107
00:06:44.837 --> 00:06:47.897
Sloan, why didn't I know
about this important meeting?
108
00:06:47.940 --> 00:06:50.602
Nobody sent me an e-mail.
I didn't have a memo.
109
00:06:50.643 --> 00:06:53.134
What good are you if
I don't know about these things?
110
00:06:53.179 --> 00:06:55.670
Well, it wasn't my fault.
111
00:06:55.715 --> 00:06:58.878
I was embarrassed.
Hey, Chuckie.
112
00:06:58.918 --> 00:07:01.386
Humiliated.
113
00:07:01.421 --> 00:07:04.254
But if I don't know,
how are you gonna know?
114
00:07:04.290 --> 00:07:07.282
That's unacceptable.
It better never happen again.
115
00:07:07.326 --> 00:07:09.419
Do you know what CP Time is?
116
00:07:09.462 --> 00:07:11.362
CP Time.
117
00:07:11.397 --> 00:07:13.695
CP Time is
Colored People's Time...
118
00:07:13.733 --> 00:07:17.225
the stereotypical belief
that Negroes are always late...
119
00:07:17.270 --> 00:07:19.534
that Negroes
have no sense of time...
120
00:07:19.572 --> 00:07:22.666
except when it comes
to music or dance...
121
00:07:22.708 --> 00:07:25.233
then you can set
your watch to them.
122
00:07:25.278 --> 00:07:27.508
I'm sorry about my blowup.
123
00:07:27.547 --> 00:07:29.913
It's OK. I understand.
124
00:07:29.949 --> 00:07:31.940
Listen, let's sit down.
125
00:07:31.984 --> 00:07:36.580
I know you're the most creative
person I've got on staff.
126
00:07:36.622 --> 00:07:39.250
I mean, you're hip,
you know what's happening.
127
00:07:39.292 --> 00:07:41.726
I've got a bunch of pasty-ass
white boys and girls...
128
00:07:41.761 --> 00:07:43.456
writing for me,
you know what I mean?
129
00:07:43.496 --> 00:07:46.226
I grew up around black people
my whole life.
130
00:07:46.265 --> 00:07:49.496
If the truth be told, I probably
know niggers better than you.
131
00:07:49.535 --> 00:07:53.665
Don't go getting offended
by my use of the N-word.
132
00:07:53.706 --> 00:07:56.004
I have a black wife
and two biracial kids...
133
00:07:56.042 --> 00:07:57.339
so I feel I have a right.
134
00:07:57.376 --> 00:07:59.867
I don't give a goddamn
what that prick Spike Lee says.
135
00:07:59.912 --> 00:08:02.813
Tarantino was right.
"Nigger" is just a word.
136
00:08:02.849 --> 00:08:06.114
If Old Dirty Bastard can use it,
why can't l?
137
00:08:06.152 --> 00:08:09.952
I would prefer if you did not
use that word in my presence.
138
00:08:09.989 --> 00:08:11.354
Oh, really?
139
00:08:12.925 --> 00:08:14.688
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger.
140
00:08:14.727 --> 00:08:18.629
Whitey, whitey, whitey, whitey!
141
00:08:18.664 --> 00:08:22.122
The material you've been writing
is too white-bread.
142
00:08:22.168 --> 00:08:24.728
It's white people
with black faces.
143
00:08:24.770 --> 00:08:27.466
The Huxtables, Cosby--
a genius, revolutionary.
144
00:08:27.507 --> 00:08:29.668
Theo, Lisa Bonet--dope.
145
00:08:29.709 --> 00:08:31.074
But we can't go down
that road again.
146
00:08:31.110 --> 00:08:32.270
I disagree.
147
00:08:32.311 --> 00:08:34.506
The Negro middle class
does exist...
148
00:08:34.547 --> 00:08:38.847
and it's fertile ground for
a dramatic series or a sitcom.
149
00:08:38.885 --> 00:08:41.445
Look at this stuff
I'm having to read.
150
00:08:41.487 --> 00:08:47.892
A black family moves into
a white suburban enclave.
151
00:08:47.927 --> 00:08:50.054
This is shit.
152
00:08:50.096 --> 00:08:54.089
A black girl is adopted
by some chink American family?
153
00:08:54.133 --> 00:08:55.157
They were Polynesian.
154
00:08:55.201 --> 00:08:57.761
A black headmaster is hired...
155
00:08:57.803 --> 00:09:01.899
at some old-money, crusty,
Eastern boarding school.
156
00:09:01.941 --> 00:09:06.173
Garbage. It's too clean,
it's too antiseptic.
157
00:09:06.212 --> 00:09:07.736
-It's too--
-White.
158
00:09:07.780 --> 00:09:10.476
Delacroix, wake up, brother man.
159
00:09:10.516 --> 00:09:12.746
The reason why these shows
didn't get picked up...
160
00:09:12.785 --> 00:09:15.720
is because nobody,
no-motherfuckin'-body...
161
00:09:15.755 --> 00:09:18.690
niggers and crackers alike,
wants to see that junk.
162
00:09:18.724 --> 00:09:20.351
People want to be entertained.
163
00:09:20.393 --> 00:09:23.794
It didn't get picked up
because no one gave it a chance.
164
00:09:23.829 --> 00:09:26.764
Oh, really?
No one gave them a chance?
165
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.994
You got your head
stuck so far up your ass...
166
00:09:29.035 --> 00:09:33.267
with your Harvard education
and pretentious Buppy ways.
167
00:09:33.306 --> 00:09:35.672
Brother man,
I'm blacker than you.
168
00:09:35.708 --> 00:09:37.903
I'm keeping it real.
I'm 'bout it, 'bout it.
169
00:09:37.944 --> 00:09:38.911
I got the roll.
170
00:09:38.945 --> 00:09:42.540
You're just frontin'
tryin' to be white.
171
00:09:42.582 --> 00:09:44.948
I'm an Aryan. A sellout.
172
00:09:44.984 --> 00:09:48.943
Because I don't aspire to do
"Homeboys from Outer Space"...
173
00:09:48.988 --> 00:09:51.252
"The Secret Diary
of Desmond Pfeiffer"...
174
00:09:51.290 --> 00:09:53.758
or, as you may put it,
some nigger show?
175
00:09:53.793 --> 00:09:56.557
-ls that what you think?
-Yes, exactly.
176
00:09:56.596 --> 00:10:00.862
You and I know black people
set the trends and styles.
177
00:10:00.900 --> 00:10:03.391
This is a golden opportunity
for CNS...
178
00:10:03.436 --> 00:10:05.336
but these idiots
have to be led to the water.
179
00:10:05.371 --> 00:10:06.770
We could do this together.
180
00:10:06.806 --> 00:10:08.933
I want a show
that will make headlines.
181
00:10:08.975 --> 00:10:11.569
I want millions and millions
of viewers tuned and glued...
182
00:10:11.611 --> 00:10:13.738
to their fucking televisions
every week saying,
183
00:10:13.779 --> 00:10:17.340
"Did you see what the fuck
they did on CNS last night?"
184
00:10:17.383 --> 00:10:20.716
I want advertisers sucking
my dick to buy on this show.
185
00:10:20.753 --> 00:10:23.017
And I'll squeeze it out of you
if it kills you.
186
00:10:23.055 --> 00:10:25.922
Peep this. I'll give you
a thousand dollars...
187
00:10:25.958 --> 00:10:30.224
if you can name who the fuck
number 24 is right there.
188
00:10:30.262 --> 00:10:32.162
You think I don't know?
189
00:10:32.198 --> 00:10:34.189
Who is it?
190
00:10:34.233 --> 00:10:37.725
That would be...
191
00:10:37.770 --> 00:10:39.362
Yeah. Who is it?
192
00:10:41.574 --> 00:10:43.201
I'll tell you like this...
193
00:10:43.242 --> 00:10:45.506
One day soon, man...
194
00:10:45.544 --> 00:10:48.012
I'm trying to live
in a phat crib...
195
00:10:48.047 --> 00:10:50.015
bills paid for...
196
00:10:50.049 --> 00:10:52.779
get a ride,
throw some rims on there...
197
00:10:52.818 --> 00:10:53.944
with a system.
198
00:10:53.986 --> 00:10:55.920
Throw up some platinum
on the body...
199
00:10:55.955 --> 00:10:58.583
you know what I'm saying?
Shiny.
200
00:10:58.624 --> 00:11:01.115
Ready to get some
jewelry already, huh?
201
00:11:01.160 --> 00:11:03.219
That's the first thing
we do, son.
202
00:11:03.262 --> 00:11:05.526
Get jewelry,
we'll get some Hillnigger...
203
00:11:05.564 --> 00:11:08.055
and we get a ride.
Throw some rims up there.
204
00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:09.761
Got to have some patience, man.
205
00:11:09.802 --> 00:11:11.531
I'm the brain of this outfit.
206
00:11:11.570 --> 00:11:14.630
And I'm the feet.
207
00:11:14.674 --> 00:11:16.699
Manny, I can't
just snap my fingers...
208
00:11:16.742 --> 00:11:18.733
and presto-chango,
you're an overnight sensation.
209
00:11:18.778 --> 00:11:20.507
Son, it don't work like that.
210
00:11:20.546 --> 00:11:22.377
What the fuck you think I am,
Houdini?
211
00:11:22.415 --> 00:11:24.679
I'm just tired of waitin', man.
212
00:11:33.526 --> 00:11:35.756
Feed...
213
00:11:35.795 --> 00:11:37.490
the...
214
00:11:37.530 --> 00:11:39.828
idiot box.
215
00:11:39.865 --> 00:11:44.996
Feed the idiot box.
216
00:11:45.037 --> 00:11:47.972
Idiot, feed the idiot box.
217
00:11:53.979 --> 00:11:55.037
Hi.
218
00:11:55.081 --> 00:11:57.311
We're backstage
at the theater.
219
00:11:57.349 --> 00:12:00.011
This is where we tape
"The Chris Rock Show."
220
00:12:00.052 --> 00:12:01.883
Ah, my first writing staff.
221
00:12:01.921 --> 00:12:05.687
They really wanted to get
to know the black experience.
222
00:12:05.725 --> 00:12:07.920
So I fired 'em.
223
00:12:11.097 --> 00:12:15.557
I was never good
at performing under the gun.
224
00:12:15.601 --> 00:12:18.263
Well, this wasn't a gun.
225
00:12:18.304 --> 00:12:22.138
It was a bazooka pressed
point blank against my temple.
226
00:12:22.174 --> 00:12:26.611
Anytime Pierre's in a jam,
I get the call.
227
00:12:26.645 --> 00:12:31.639
I could always count on
my lamb--Sloan Hopkins.
228
00:12:48.734 --> 00:12:51.396
Get up. Get up.
229
00:12:51.437 --> 00:12:53.405
Yo, come on, come on.
230
00:12:53.439 --> 00:12:54.929
Come on, come on!
231
00:12:54.974 --> 00:12:56.498
Come on!
232
00:12:58.911 --> 00:13:01.379
Please evacuate.
233
00:13:01.413 --> 00:13:05.247
All of you are illegal residents
of this condemned building.
234
00:13:05.284 --> 00:13:09.880
Leave immediately by order
of the mayor of New York City...
235
00:13:09.922 --> 00:13:11.685
Rudolph Guiliani.
236
00:13:12.758 --> 00:13:16.854
-Eureka!
-Oh, my God.
237
00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:22.595
Please evacuate.
238
00:13:22.635 --> 00:13:27.163
All of you are illegal residents
of this condemned building.
239
00:13:27.206 --> 00:13:31.142
Leave immediately by order
of the mayor of New York City...
240
00:13:31.177 --> 00:13:32.872
Rudolph Guiliani.
241
00:13:32.912 --> 00:13:34.311
Manray!
242
00:13:39.051 --> 00:13:43.681
I can't believe Manray was
under our noses the entire time.
243
00:13:43.722 --> 00:13:46.054
I know.
Do you know how you use him?
244
00:13:46.091 --> 00:13:48.025
Dunwitty wants a coon show...
245
00:13:48.060 --> 00:13:50.324
so that's what
I intend to give him.
246
00:13:50.362 --> 00:13:54.662
The show will be so negative,
so offensive and racist.
247
00:13:54.700 --> 00:13:57.396
Hence, I will prove my point.
248
00:13:57.436 --> 00:13:58.994
Which is what?
249
00:13:59.038 --> 00:14:02.132
The point being
that him, the network...
250
00:14:02.174 --> 00:14:04.199
does not want to see
Negroes on television...
251
00:14:04.243 --> 00:14:06.336
unless they are buffoons.
252
00:14:06.378 --> 00:14:10.644
They definitely do not want
to see dignified black people.
253
00:14:10.683 --> 00:14:12.878
I mean, they proved that
by canceling your show...
254
00:14:12.918 --> 00:14:15.386
"Brown Nose Jones,"
which was briliant!
255
00:14:15.421 --> 00:14:17.582
After 13 episodes,
they canceled it.
256
00:14:17.623 --> 00:14:20.751
They put it against "Seinfeld."
It didn't have a chance!
257
00:14:20.793 --> 00:14:23.956
I don't know, Pierre.
I really don't.
258
00:14:23.996 --> 00:14:25.964
It still sounds very risky.
259
00:14:25.998 --> 00:14:27.727
You are not getting cold feet?
260
00:14:27.766 --> 00:14:30.462
No. I'm down with you.
261
00:14:30.502 --> 00:14:34.336
Good. I'm going to need
your undying support, lamb.
262
00:14:34.373 --> 00:14:37.536
Have you ever thought
about just quitting?
263
00:14:37.576 --> 00:14:39.635
Quitters quit.
264
00:14:39.678 --> 00:14:43.205
Besides, I'll get sued.
I have a contract.
265
00:14:43.249 --> 00:14:45.945
The only way I get out of that
is if I get fired...
266
00:14:45.985 --> 00:14:49.113
and that is what I intend to do.
267
00:14:49.154 --> 00:14:51.748
You've seen my place
down at the clock tower.
268
00:14:51.790 --> 00:14:53.257
I've got a mortgage.
269
00:14:53.292 --> 00:14:55.419
All right, well,
I've got some work to do...
270
00:14:55.461 --> 00:14:58.589
so I will see you later.
271
00:14:58.631 --> 00:15:00.565
And you have a conference call.
Don't forget.
272
00:15:00.599 --> 00:15:02.794
2:00, yes.
273
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.241
Look, I know what I'm doing.
Follow me.
274
00:15:21.820 --> 00:15:23.378
Good morning, fellas.
275
00:15:23.422 --> 00:15:26.550
We're looking
for a Mr. Delapoint.
276
00:15:26.592 --> 00:15:28.389
There's no one here
by that name.
277
00:15:28.427 --> 00:15:30.759
Delapot, Delapoint,
Dela-something.
278
00:15:30.796 --> 00:15:33.560
De La Soul's not here, either.
Step outside.
279
00:15:33.599 --> 00:15:35.897
-Come on, Delacox.
-Off the premises.
280
00:15:35.935 --> 00:15:39.336
You know this guy.
We asking you a question.
281
00:15:39.371 --> 00:15:41.965
You can wash your ass
and brush your teeth.
282
00:15:42.007 --> 00:15:44.237
Whoa, whoa!
283
00:15:44.276 --> 00:15:46.870
Please. Hi, guys. Listen.
284
00:15:46.912 --> 00:15:50.075
These are associates
of Mr. Delacroix.
285
00:15:50.115 --> 00:15:51.139
So you know them?
286
00:15:51.183 --> 00:15:53.811
Yes, I do.
I know them very well.
287
00:15:53.852 --> 00:15:54.944
You need an escort?
288
00:15:54.987 --> 00:15:57.455
No, I got it. Thank you.
289
00:15:57.489 --> 00:15:59.116
Fellas, thank you.
290
00:15:59.158 --> 00:16:00.455
Sorry. We thought
they were from the street.
291
00:16:00.492 --> 00:16:01.925
You were just doing your job.
292
00:16:01.961 --> 00:16:04.191
Don't worry about a thing.
Thank you.
293
00:16:04.229 --> 00:16:05.594
Come on, inside.
294
00:16:05.631 --> 00:16:08.794
Hello. Wait a minute.
295
00:16:08.834 --> 00:16:11.667
Amos want to talk, too.
296
00:16:11.704 --> 00:16:14.264
All right.
297
00:16:14.306 --> 00:16:16.774
Good-bye, sweet dumplin'.
298
00:16:16.809 --> 00:16:19.573
The boy with
the egg-shaped head.
299
00:16:19.611 --> 00:16:22.478
I mean, wait a minute.
300
00:16:22.514 --> 00:16:26.245
Hello, honey.
301
00:16:26.285 --> 00:16:27.445
Enter!
302
00:16:27.486 --> 00:16:31.149
Pierre. Look who I found.
303
00:16:31.190 --> 00:16:35.889
Eureka!
I am so happy to see you cats.
304
00:16:35.928 --> 00:16:37.020
What's up, dude?
305
00:16:37.062 --> 00:16:38.290
Hey, what's up?
306
00:16:38.330 --> 00:16:41.697
You'd take no offense
if we call you Dela for short?
307
00:16:41.734 --> 00:16:43.361
None taken at all,
my friend.
308
00:16:43.402 --> 00:16:46.565
I have a concept
for a television pilot.
309
00:16:46.605 --> 00:16:50.234
Now, there's no guarantee
it will ever get made...
310
00:16:50.275 --> 00:16:54.006
but it is an opportunity for
you gentlemen to make some cash.
311
00:16:54.046 --> 00:16:55.536
How much?
312
00:16:55.581 --> 00:16:56.707
First things first, my friend.
313
00:16:56.749 --> 00:17:00.344
I need to know that
we are in sync creatively...
314
00:17:00.386 --> 00:17:03.184
and that Manray is up for this.
315
00:17:03.222 --> 00:17:05.247
Sure. What I got to do?
316
00:17:05.290 --> 00:17:09.192
You simply do what it is you do.
317
00:17:09.228 --> 00:17:11.253
And what you do best.
318
00:17:11.296 --> 00:17:12.422
Cool. Where do I sign?
319
00:17:12.464 --> 00:17:14.398
Whoa. "Where do I sign?"
320
00:17:14.433 --> 00:17:15.900
What kind of show is this?
321
00:17:15.934 --> 00:17:17.492
-Different.
-How different?
322
00:17:17.536 --> 00:17:20.528
Impactful, cutting edge...
323
00:17:20.572 --> 00:17:24.736
and it will incorporate both
of your very unique talents.
324
00:17:24.777 --> 00:17:26.870
Yes, and it's
a hell of a lot better...
325
00:17:26.912 --> 00:17:29.073
than tap-dancing
in the street for pennies.
326
00:17:29.114 --> 00:17:31.048
Trust us.
327
00:17:31.083 --> 00:17:34.211
I still have to pitch this
to my superiors...
328
00:17:34.253 --> 00:17:36.448
but either way,
we should know something soon.
329
00:17:36.488 --> 00:17:37.716
It sounds good to me.
330
00:17:37.756 --> 00:17:40.884
As long as I get to hoof,
we'll be getting some loot...
331
00:17:40.926 --> 00:17:42.052
Good, yo.
332
00:17:42.094 --> 00:17:44.892
Because we're trying
to get some income coming in.
333
00:17:44.930 --> 00:17:47.296
Money makes the wheels turn,
my friend.
334
00:17:47.332 --> 00:17:49.630
What about the meantime,
in-between time?
335
00:17:49.668 --> 00:17:51.761
I mean, you know, like...
336
00:17:51.804 --> 00:17:55.262
You're talking an advance.
That's done.
337
00:17:55.307 --> 00:17:56.433
OK.
338
00:17:56.475 --> 00:18:00.673
Now, there is one
other slight thing.
339
00:18:00.712 --> 00:18:03.579
I would like for you
to change your name...
340
00:18:03.615 --> 00:18:05.173
if you don't mind.
341
00:18:05.217 --> 00:18:07.185
Change my name to what?
342
00:18:07.219 --> 00:18:08.186
To what?
343
00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:10.415
Mantan.
344
00:18:13.225 --> 00:18:16.092
All right. Mantan.
It's cool.
345
00:18:16.128 --> 00:18:18.562
Like I told you,
as long as I'm hoofin'...
346
00:18:18.597 --> 00:18:21.327
and gettin' some loot,
I'm good, man.
347
00:18:21.366 --> 00:18:24.335
One thing.
Can I get some new kicks?
348
00:18:24.369 --> 00:18:26.098
And some new tap shoes?
349
00:18:26.138 --> 00:18:29.403
Yes, you could use those.
Sloan, new shoes.
350
00:18:29.441 --> 00:18:32.137
OK, new shoes.
351
00:18:32.177 --> 00:18:34.441
Let me get the whole
Hillnigger hookup, huh?
352
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.539
Some Hillnigger jeans?
353
00:18:36.582 --> 00:18:40.211
Definitely Mos Def.
354
00:18:40.252 --> 00:18:42.777
Some sweaters.
355
00:18:42.821 --> 00:18:44.686
Definitely some sweaters,
nothing fancy.
356
00:18:44.723 --> 00:18:47.692
Some cashmere, wool,
something like that.
357
00:18:47.726 --> 00:18:48.954
Cashmere, wool.
358
00:18:48.994 --> 00:18:51.292
Some underwear.
359
00:18:51.330 --> 00:18:55.630
Toothpaste. Toothbrush.
Deodorant.
360
00:18:55.667 --> 00:18:58.227
We have deodorant.
361
00:18:58.270 --> 00:19:00.204
We might be able
to use some more, though.
362
00:19:00.239 --> 00:19:04.642
I think I have this
under control.
363
00:19:04.877 --> 00:19:06.902
Yes. OK.
364
00:19:06.945 --> 00:19:10.676
No. I understand completely.
365
00:19:10.716 --> 00:19:13.742
Yes, OK. Thank you, bye-bye.
366
00:19:13.785 --> 00:19:16.276
I've never had
a real pair before.
367
00:19:16.321 --> 00:19:17.788
Really? Wow.
368
00:19:17.823 --> 00:19:20.792
You never had any formal
training, either, have you?
369
00:19:20.826 --> 00:19:22.418
Not really.
370
00:19:22.461 --> 00:19:26.363
I picked up some steps
from older cats. Slyde, Chaney.
371
00:19:26.398 --> 00:19:28.525
But, you know,
most of the stuff, yeah.
372
00:19:28.567 --> 00:19:31.127
What's up with you and Dela?
373
00:19:31.170 --> 00:19:33.764
What do you mean,
"What's up with me and Pierre?"
374
00:19:33.805 --> 00:19:35.966
Y'all together?
375
00:19:36.008 --> 00:19:38.704
Y'all knocking boots?
376
00:19:38.744 --> 00:19:40.712
Knocking boots?
I don't think so.
377
00:19:40.746 --> 00:19:41.838
Never?
378
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:43.643
Never. Like I said...
379
00:19:43.682 --> 00:19:47.049
I was at NYU,
I got an internship.
380
00:19:47.085 --> 00:19:49.315
Pierre was very impressed
with my get-up-and-go...
381
00:19:49.354 --> 00:19:50.878
so he kept me as his assistant.
382
00:19:50.923 --> 00:19:55.189
I'm sure that was the only thing
he was impressed with.
383
00:19:55.227 --> 00:19:56.387
Yes.
384
00:19:56.428 --> 00:19:58.896
-You look beautiful like that.
-Thank you.
385
00:20:23.021 --> 00:20:24.579
Little sister.
386
00:20:26.391 --> 00:20:27.722
What are you doing here?
387
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:29.590
I need bail money.
388
00:20:29.628 --> 00:20:31.926
-Again?
-Again.
389
00:20:31.964 --> 00:20:35.092
What's going on?
How you feeling?
390
00:20:35.133 --> 00:20:37.294
I'm doing good.
391
00:20:37.336 --> 00:20:39.429
It's good to see
your little sister...
392
00:20:39.471 --> 00:20:43.407
working hard for the man
on the plantation.
393
00:20:43.442 --> 00:20:46.843
Enough of the family reunion
in the middle of the street.
394
00:20:46.878 --> 00:20:48.641
Julius, what can I do for you?
395
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.171
Damn it, Sloan.
396
00:20:51.216 --> 00:20:54.276
Damn, man,
you can't keep doing that.
397
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:56.651
It's not fresh.
No, I'm serious.
398
00:20:56.688 --> 00:20:58.315
It's not cute no more.
399
00:20:58.357 --> 00:21:00.757
You keep calling me by
the slave name our government--
400
00:21:00.792 --> 00:21:02.726
It's just disrespectful, man.
401
00:21:02.761 --> 00:21:07.460
I hope you don't think
I'll call you Big Black African.
402
00:21:07.499 --> 00:21:08.727
I do hope that.
403
00:21:08.767 --> 00:21:12.134
I would expect you call me
whatever name I chose.
404
00:21:12.170 --> 00:21:13.262
I'm not doing that.
405
00:21:13.305 --> 00:21:16.399
Mommy and Daddy
named you Julius...
406
00:21:16.441 --> 00:21:18.807
so that's what
I'm gonna call you.
407
00:21:18.844 --> 00:21:20.675
It ain't like it's disrespect
for Mommy and Daddy.
408
00:21:20.712 --> 00:21:23.340
It's about I got a name
that I chose for my soul.
409
00:21:23.382 --> 00:21:25.816
They named Muhammad Ali
Cassius Clay.
410
00:21:25.851 --> 00:21:27.842
You don't call him Cassius Clay.
It's a dis.
411
00:21:27.886 --> 00:21:31.549
You don't call El-Hajj Malik
Shabazz--Detroit Red.
412
00:21:31.590 --> 00:21:33.649
You don't call him
Malcolm Little. It's Malcolm X.
413
00:21:33.692 --> 00:21:36.320
You show respect.
Same thing with me, Sloan.
414
00:21:36.361 --> 00:21:38.454
It's easy.
I was born with one name...
415
00:21:38.497 --> 00:21:40.761
but I chose for myself
my own identity.
416
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.495
Big Black Af.
Big Black Africa.
417
00:21:43.535 --> 00:21:45.002
It's real simple.
418
00:21:45.037 --> 00:21:48.097
It ain't like
I named myself...In Fufu.
419
00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:50.665
You want me to hook up
you and the Mau Maus?
420
00:21:50.709 --> 00:21:54.543
Why would I hook up
some black, red, green...
421
00:21:54.579 --> 00:21:58.015
flag-waving
pseudo-revolutionaries?
422
00:21:58.050 --> 00:21:59.881
First, you done messed up
the colors first.
423
00:21:59.918 --> 00:22:01.476
What's the colors?
424
00:22:01.520 --> 00:22:03.078
Damn,
it's red, black, and green.
425
00:22:03.121 --> 00:22:05.282
White people know
it's red, black, and green.
426
00:22:05.324 --> 00:22:08.953
And secondly,
why are we pseudo?
427
00:22:08.994 --> 00:22:12.794
If we was talking about some ice
and fuckin' Cristal...
428
00:22:12.831 --> 00:22:16.824
and pushin' Bentleys
and fuckin' pop mogul...
429
00:22:16.868 --> 00:22:18.563
then we would be the fly shit?
430
00:22:18.603 --> 00:22:22.300
You like that shit.
Bling blinging.
431
00:22:22.341 --> 00:22:25.936
Who or what
are you revolting against?
432
00:22:25.977 --> 00:22:27.945
What are you talking about
in all them songs?
433
00:22:27.979 --> 00:22:30.038
Mau Mau songs?
434
00:22:30.082 --> 00:22:31.379
Yeah, in the songs.
435
00:22:31.416 --> 00:22:34.817
Shit. We talking about
fuckin' revolution.
436
00:22:34.853 --> 00:22:37.583
We talkin' about
people gettin' free...
437
00:22:37.622 --> 00:22:39.556
the fuckin' America.
438
00:22:39.591 --> 00:22:42.287
USA, KKK, all that shit.
439
00:22:42.327 --> 00:22:44.022
This is the shit
we're revolting against.
440
00:22:44.062 --> 00:22:46.360
People's hearts
is all fucked up.
441
00:22:46.398 --> 00:22:48.161
People is stupid in their mind.
442
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:49.827
Please stop.
443
00:22:49.868 --> 00:22:53.497
Golly day, you sound stupid.
Retarded.
444
00:22:53.538 --> 00:22:54.562
I sound retarded, right?
445
00:22:54.606 --> 00:22:56.631
But fuckin' Master...
446
00:22:56.675 --> 00:22:58.939
That motherfucker
is a fuckin' millionaire...
447
00:22:58.977 --> 00:23:00.877
gruntin' on records.
That shit is crazy.
448
00:23:00.912 --> 00:23:03.403
If I had some platinum drawers,
I'd be the nigger, right?
449
00:23:03.448 --> 00:23:07.384
Know what you should just do?
Just introduce me.
450
00:23:07.419 --> 00:23:11.082
Word, him.
You should just let me meet him.
451
00:23:11.123 --> 00:23:14.718
Why in the world would he write
a show about the Mau Maus?
452
00:23:14.760 --> 00:23:16.193
Shit.
453
00:23:16.228 --> 00:23:18.992
You know how many fucking--
454
00:23:19.030 --> 00:23:23.592
Aw, man.
The fuckin' Monkees had a show.
455
00:23:23.635 --> 00:23:26.399
The Partridge Family.
456
00:23:26.438 --> 00:23:29.271
Shit, if them motherfuckers
could have a show--
457
00:23:29.307 --> 00:23:31.867
They had demographics.
You don't.
458
00:23:31.910 --> 00:23:33.002
The Mau Maus?
459
00:23:33.044 --> 00:23:35.842
I'm telling you we got
a underground following.
460
00:23:35.881 --> 00:23:38.645
It ain't big,
but it's some small shit...
461
00:23:38.683 --> 00:23:42.744
that y'all could expand on
and help blow that shit up.
462
00:23:42.788 --> 00:23:44.278
Let me put it to you like this.
463
00:23:44.322 --> 00:23:49.316
If I ever decide to do
Brooklyn public television...
464
00:23:49.361 --> 00:23:51.329
I'll call you, but until then...
465
00:23:51.363 --> 00:23:53.888
I am not taking
you to my new job...
466
00:23:53.932 --> 00:23:57.060
where I am on the rise...
467
00:23:57.102 --> 00:24:00.970
and have you and your crew
blow up my spot.
468
00:24:01.006 --> 00:24:02.496
How is that
blowin' up your shit?
469
00:24:02.541 --> 00:24:06.910
Y'all are embarrassing. Period.
470
00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:10.445
We're embarrassing?
471
00:24:10.482 --> 00:24:12.814
Y'all ignorant. Y'all ign'ant.
472
00:24:12.851 --> 00:24:14.648
Aw-ight, granted...
473
00:24:14.686 --> 00:24:17.814
I got a few niggers in my crew
got problems...
474
00:24:17.856 --> 00:24:20.347
Hard Black, he--
Niggers ain't perfect.
475
00:24:20.392 --> 00:24:22.622
You talkin' a hole in my head.
476
00:24:22.661 --> 00:24:24.925
I got stuff to do.
Let's wrap it up.
477
00:24:24.963 --> 00:24:28.160
That's fucked up, man.
It's embarrasin'.
478
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:30.430
Black folks been doin'
that shit to each other...
479
00:24:30.469 --> 00:24:33.905
for the last
400 fucking years, man.
480
00:24:33.939 --> 00:24:36.737
This is like some house-nigger
shit when you say that.
481
00:24:36.775 --> 00:24:38.242
Wait a minute.
482
00:24:38.276 --> 00:24:40.608
Don't go there.
That ain't what I said.
483
00:24:40.645 --> 00:24:42.977
Hold up.
484
00:24:43.014 --> 00:24:46.381
Julius, are you calling
your sister a house nigger?
485
00:24:46.418 --> 00:24:48.386
Sloan, that ain't what I said.
486
00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:49.682
I don't even know
why you tryin' to go there.
487
00:24:49.721 --> 00:24:52.246
Why don't you take
your field-nigger ass...
488
00:24:52.290 --> 00:24:53.723
up out my house-nigger house?
489
00:24:53.758 --> 00:24:57.285
You was just waitin'
to throw me out anyway.
490
00:24:57.329 --> 00:24:59.490
All right, Martin.
Just let me get some water.
491
00:24:59.531 --> 00:25:05.060
OK, get your water,
and then you...OK
492
00:25:05.103 --> 00:25:07.401
Dela, my man, I'm glad
you got your mind right.
493
00:25:07.439 --> 00:25:10.135
Well, it's right, tight,
and ready to delight.
494
00:25:10.175 --> 00:25:11.472
I'm with this.
495
00:25:11.510 --> 00:25:13.501
Mr. Dunwitty, please sit back...
496
00:25:13.545 --> 00:25:15.638
and allow me
to paint a picture.
497
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:19.377
I'm all ears,
and my nose is a close second.
498
00:25:19.417 --> 00:25:24.377
Now, I have been doing
a lot of soul-searching.
499
00:25:24.422 --> 00:25:26.583
And, once again, you're right.
500
00:25:26.625 --> 00:25:30.527
My previous work has been
all surface, superficial.
501
00:25:30.562 --> 00:25:31.824
It's a thing of the past.
502
00:25:31.863 --> 00:25:35.731
I've never really dug deep
into my pain as a Negro.
503
00:25:35.767 --> 00:25:38.258
Hey, those things are
hard to look at sometimes.
504
00:25:38.303 --> 00:25:39.998
Yes, yes, yes.
505
00:25:40.038 --> 00:25:42.165
And as Mark Twain
so fully understood...
506
00:25:42.207 --> 00:25:44.675
satire is the way...
507
00:25:44.709 --> 00:25:47.371
if we are ever to live
side by side...
508
00:25:47.412 --> 00:25:49.277
in peace and harmony.
509
00:25:49.314 --> 00:25:51.748
So, my show
that I am pitching...
510
00:25:51.783 --> 00:25:54.843
is about
promoting racial healing.
511
00:25:54.886 --> 00:25:58.219
Healing is great.
I like this. Give me more.
512
00:25:58.256 --> 00:26:01.191
Now, I know you are
familiar with minstrel shows.
513
00:26:01.226 --> 00:26:04.662
They came about in the 1840s.
514
00:26:04.696 --> 00:26:06.789
It was a variety show
in which the talent...
515
00:26:06.831 --> 00:26:09.231
was singing, dancing,
telling jokes, doing skits...
516
00:26:09.267 --> 00:26:10.825
Iike "ln Living Color."
517
00:26:10.869 --> 00:26:12.393
Right, that was dope.
518
00:26:12.437 --> 00:26:15.338
I ask you,
when was the last time...
519
00:26:15.373 --> 00:26:18.433
there was a great variety show
on the air? Carol Burnett?
520
00:26:18.476 --> 00:26:19.704
Carol was the bomb, yo.
521
00:26:19.744 --> 00:26:22.736
"Hee Haw?" "Kenan and Kel?"
522
00:26:22.781 --> 00:26:24.908
Yo, that's
the stupidest shit on TV.
523
00:26:24.950 --> 00:26:27.510
So I say
let's take this form...
524
00:26:27.552 --> 00:26:30.783
this very American tradition
of entertainment...
525
00:26:30.822 --> 00:26:34.383
into the 21st century,
the new millennium.
526
00:26:34.426 --> 00:26:37.827
What's the name of this show?
We need something to sell.
527
00:26:37.862 --> 00:26:44.233
"Mantan: The New Millennium
Minstrel Show!"
528
00:26:44.269 --> 00:26:47.295
"Mantan: The New Millennium..."
529
00:26:47.339 --> 00:26:51.833
I really, really like this.
I'm gettin' a boner.
530
00:26:51.876 --> 00:26:54.743
The Swanson Johnson
is getting hard.
531
00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:57.873
You know what I'm saying?
I'm feelin' this shit.
532
00:26:57.916 --> 00:27:00.942
I like this.
No, give me more.
533
00:27:00.986 --> 00:27:03.682
It's gonna take a lot
of courage and backbone...
534
00:27:03.722 --> 00:27:06.919
on the part of CNS
to get this thing on the air.
535
00:27:06.958 --> 00:27:08.892
Don't worry about that.
That's my job.
536
00:27:08.927 --> 00:27:11.395
You just be the creative genius
you've proven you are.
537
00:27:11.429 --> 00:27:14.364
Now, who are we gonna
get to star in the show?
538
00:27:14.399 --> 00:27:16.526
Because we need a star
to carry the show.
539
00:27:16.568 --> 00:27:19.594
I mean, Whoopi--
can she sing and dance anymore?
540
00:27:19.638 --> 00:27:21.731
Can she get jiggy?
541
00:27:21.773 --> 00:27:25.231
Ms. Goldberg is the wrong way
to go with this thing.
542
00:27:25.276 --> 00:27:29.178
-Fuck her.
-We want fresh faces.
543
00:27:29.214 --> 00:27:31.546
New talent.
544
00:27:31.583 --> 00:27:32.811
Young blood.
545
00:27:32.851 --> 00:27:35.115
Sloan, enter!
546
00:27:36.821 --> 00:27:39.153
-Hello, Sloan.
-Hi.
547
00:27:39.190 --> 00:27:42.182
Gentlemen,
please, have a seat.
548
00:27:42.227 --> 00:27:45.162
How you doin', guys?
549
00:27:45.196 --> 00:27:48.165
Are these my two little stars
sitting in front of me? Mantan?
550
00:27:48.199 --> 00:27:51.327
That's me.
I always wanted to be on TV.
551
00:27:51.369 --> 00:27:52.563
Now's your shot, kid.
552
00:27:52.604 --> 00:27:55.402
And that is Sleep'n Eat.
553
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:58.898
-What's the name?
-Sleep and Eat.
554
00:27:58.943 --> 00:28:01.537
Sleep and motherfuckin' Eat.
555
00:28:01.579 --> 00:28:03.979
Oh, shit.
556
00:28:04.015 --> 00:28:06.381
Oh, shit.
557
00:28:06.418 --> 00:28:10.582
Mantan, Sleep'n Eat.
Two real coons.
558
00:28:10.622 --> 00:28:11.953
Keeping it real, baby.
559
00:28:11.990 --> 00:28:15.926
I know that this is out there,
but it is satire.
560
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.258
No, I want you
to take it out there.
561
00:28:18.296 --> 00:28:20.560
Let's swing for the bleachers
on this one.
562
00:28:20.598 --> 00:28:24.193
Every week, we follow
the trials and tribulations...
563
00:28:24.235 --> 00:28:26.635
of Mantan, Sleep'n Eat--
564
00:28:26.671 --> 00:28:29.572
two real coons, the Dusty Duo!
565
00:28:29.607 --> 00:28:31.040
What are their character traits?
566
00:28:31.076 --> 00:28:32.509
Ignorant.
567
00:28:32.544 --> 00:28:33.909
Dull-witted.
568
00:28:33.945 --> 00:28:37.972
Lazy. And unlucky!
569
00:28:38.016 --> 00:28:41.008
Exactly.
Exactly what I'm lookin' for.
570
00:28:41.052 --> 00:28:44.886
Mantan here
is the uneducated Negro...
571
00:28:44.923 --> 00:28:47.653
but with educated feets...
572
00:28:47.692 --> 00:28:51.389
who by some stroke
of unbelievable stupidity...
573
00:28:51.429 --> 00:28:54.455
always makes his best-laid plans
go haywire.
574
00:28:54.499 --> 00:28:56.729
Sleep'n Eat
is his comical sidekick?
575
00:28:56.768 --> 00:29:00.761
Yes. Who sings like Sammy.
576
00:29:00.805 --> 00:29:03.638
He can sing, too?
This is gonna be big.
577
00:29:03.675 --> 00:29:06.473
This could be bigger than
"Friends," "Ally McBeal"...
578
00:29:06.511 --> 00:29:08.411
even my boys "Amos 'n' Andy."
579
00:29:08.446 --> 00:29:11.347
Protests finally got
"Amos 'n' Andy" off the air...
580
00:29:11.382 --> 00:29:15.113
and that could very well happen
to a program like this one.
581
00:29:15.153 --> 00:29:17.986
Let 'em try.
582
00:29:18.022 --> 00:29:20.217
Black folks will be outraged.
583
00:29:20.258 --> 00:29:23.022
So what? We'll just give
the NAACP a little donation.
584
00:29:23.061 --> 00:29:25.427
I've dealt with those guys
before. Big deal.
585
00:29:25.463 --> 00:29:28.796
Where I come from, there's
no such thing as bad publicity.
586
00:29:28.833 --> 00:29:33.270
This is not about the NAACP.
587
00:29:33.304 --> 00:29:36.330
The content of the show is...
588
00:29:36.374 --> 00:29:39.138
It's just politically incorrect.
589
00:29:39.177 --> 00:29:41.611
Who wants to be P.C.
these days anyway?
590
00:29:41.646 --> 00:29:44.809
A couple of minutes,
you'll go singing and dancing...
591
00:29:44.849 --> 00:29:47.875
shucking and jiving,
good fun home entertainment.
592
00:29:47.919 --> 00:29:49.352
Exactly.
593
00:29:49.387 --> 00:29:52.948
Let me ask you,
who are the other characters?
594
00:29:52.991 --> 00:29:55.551
You got characters developed?
It can't just be these two.
595
00:29:55.593 --> 00:29:59.256
We have
three-dimensional characters.
596
00:29:59.297 --> 00:30:01.492
How about Honeycutt?
597
00:30:01.533 --> 00:30:04.058
Topsy? Rastus?
598
00:30:04.102 --> 00:30:06.468
Little Nigger Jim?
599
00:30:06.504 --> 00:30:08.404
And Sambo?
600
00:30:08.439 --> 00:30:12.773
And I would be remiss
to not mention Aunt Jemima.
601
00:30:16.147 --> 00:30:19.014
Aunt Jemima's
gonna rock the doo-rag, right?
602
00:30:19.050 --> 00:30:20.915
This is gonna be crazy shit.
603
00:30:20.952 --> 00:30:23.011
We're gonna hit 'em with
the bomb-diggity on this one.
604
00:30:23.054 --> 00:30:24.988
Now, what's the setting?
605
00:30:25.023 --> 00:30:27.116
The projects.
606
00:30:27.158 --> 00:30:29.524
No. That's your first bad move.
607
00:30:29.561 --> 00:30:31.153
That's the problem
with everything today.
608
00:30:31.196 --> 00:30:34.495
TVs, movies, hip-hop
all takes place in the hood...
609
00:30:34.532 --> 00:30:36.796
and everybody wants to bust
a cap in a motherfucker.
610
00:30:36.835 --> 00:30:38.735
That's not
what we're gonna do here.
611
00:30:38.770 --> 00:30:40.203
No gold teeth,
none of that shit.
612
00:30:40.238 --> 00:30:41.432
Check this out.
613
00:30:41.472 --> 00:30:45.067
"Mantan's New Millennium
"Minstrel Show"...
614
00:30:45.109 --> 00:30:47.976
takes place on a plantation.
615
00:30:48.012 --> 00:30:49.502
Check this out.
616
00:30:49.547 --> 00:30:52.846
Every week, these two
Alabama porch monkeys...
617
00:30:52.884 --> 00:30:55.910
they're gonna make us laugh,
make us cry...
618
00:30:55.954 --> 00:30:58.149
they'll make us
feel good to be Americans.
619
00:30:58.189 --> 00:30:59.383
You know what?
620
00:30:59.424 --> 00:31:03.019
The Alabama porch monkey
plantation shit is wrong.
621
00:31:03.061 --> 00:31:06.030
OK, let's cut it.
622
00:31:06.064 --> 00:31:07.622
It should be
a watermelon patch.
623
00:31:07.665 --> 00:31:08.723
What?!
624
00:31:08.766 --> 00:31:11.997
I like watermelon.
It's good for you, too.
625
00:31:12.036 --> 00:31:13.060
Have you lost your mind?
626
00:31:13.104 --> 00:31:15.299
Do you know
how much mail we will get?
627
00:31:15.340 --> 00:31:20.039
Exactly! There will be nothing
else like it on television!
628
00:31:20.078 --> 00:31:21.477
Now, let me ask you
a question, Mantan.
629
00:31:21.512 --> 00:31:24.106
How do you feel about performing
just a little blackface?
630
00:31:24.148 --> 00:31:26.878
Whoa. In what?
631
00:31:26.918 --> 00:31:29.216
It's makeup.
It'll lend authenticity.
632
00:31:29.254 --> 00:31:31.654
It's cool, man.
I'm black, right?
633
00:31:31.689 --> 00:31:33.782
As long as the hoofin' is real.
634
00:31:33.825 --> 00:31:36.521
Motherfucker, you light-skinned.
You gonna listen--
635
00:31:36.561 --> 00:31:38.256
Sleep'n Eat,
you're just keeping it real.
636
00:31:38.296 --> 00:31:39.558
My name is Womack.
637
00:31:39.597 --> 00:31:42.998
You want to show me
a little something-something?
638
00:31:43.034 --> 00:31:45.059
Can I test out the waters here?
639
00:31:45.103 --> 00:31:47.071
-Yes, you may.
-This is bizarre.
640
00:31:47.105 --> 00:31:51.098
Delacroix, my motherfucker,
you dug deep.
641
00:31:51.142 --> 00:31:53.872
You dug deeper than deep,
my man.
642
00:31:53.912 --> 00:31:55.777
To my loins.
643
00:31:55.813 --> 00:31:56.973
That's what I'm saying.
644
00:31:57.015 --> 00:31:59.950
-Here, take my seat.
-Cool.
645
00:31:59.984 --> 00:32:02.043
How you want it? Raw?
646
00:32:02.086 --> 00:32:03.815
Flash? You want rhythm?
647
00:32:03.855 --> 00:32:06.221
I want it raw dawg
without a bag, baby.
648
00:32:06.257 --> 00:32:08.054
Let me see you do your thing.
649
00:32:08.092 --> 00:32:10.720
I mean, keep it real.
Just keep it real.
650
00:32:10.762 --> 00:32:13.026
Bust a move. Hop on up there.
651
00:32:13.064 --> 00:32:15.362
Raw dawg without a bag.
652
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:16.424
Be careful, man.
653
00:32:50.702 --> 00:32:52.670
This kid is off the hook!
654
00:32:52.704 --> 00:32:55.229
This kid is off the hinges, yo!
655
00:32:55.273 --> 00:32:59.175
That's what I'm talking about!
656
00:32:59.210 --> 00:33:02.873
Mantan!
Yo, we're gonna get paid!
657
00:33:02.914 --> 00:33:04.745
I'm about to go
run upstairs with this.
658
00:33:04.782 --> 00:33:10.118
If CNS doesn't have the balls,
somebody else will.
659
00:33:10.154 --> 00:33:12.088
My beautiful black princess.
660
00:33:12.123 --> 00:33:14.887
Delacroix!
661
00:33:14.926 --> 00:33:17.394
Yes, go do your little dirt.
662
00:33:17.428 --> 00:33:18.690
We in!
663
00:33:18.730 --> 00:33:21.563
Well...
664
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.762
I think he bought it.
665
00:33:24.802 --> 00:33:26.201
This is some bullshit.
666
00:33:26.404 --> 00:33:28.099
The name of this shit
right here...
667
00:33:28.139 --> 00:33:29.800
What's that, dawg?
668
00:33:29.841 --> 00:33:32.332
"Black is Black."
669
00:33:32.377 --> 00:33:33.969
It's hot.
670
00:33:34.012 --> 00:33:35.809
Now, that's some thinking.
671
00:33:35.847 --> 00:33:38.907
That's some shit
right there, dawg.
672
00:33:38.950 --> 00:33:41.384
Y'all like that shit?
673
00:33:41.419 --> 00:33:44.411
The name of the album
is "The Black Album."
674
00:33:44.455 --> 00:33:46.389
You know what I'm sayin'?
675
00:33:48.893 --> 00:33:50.724
That's the motherfuckin' way.
676
00:33:50.762 --> 00:33:55.961
"Black is Black"
on the fuckin' "Black Album."
677
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:59.401
Yo, but for real, though,
we ain't never conformed...
678
00:33:59.437 --> 00:34:01.029
to none of
the white man's rules.
679
00:34:01.072 --> 00:34:02.972
Fuck them motherfuckers.
680
00:34:03.007 --> 00:34:04.133
Know what I'm saying?
681
00:34:04.175 --> 00:34:07.008
Later for that
old slave owner Webster.
682
00:34:07.045 --> 00:34:09.605
So I'm sayin', Big Black,
you know what I mean?
683
00:34:09.647 --> 00:34:12.207
I respectively submit,
you know what I'm saying?
684
00:34:12.250 --> 00:34:15.913
That we from here on,
henceforth and whatnot...
685
00:34:15.953 --> 00:34:20.151
should spell "Black" B-l-a-k...
686
00:34:20.191 --> 00:34:22.785
not b-l-a-c-k,
you know what I'm sayin'?
687
00:34:22.827 --> 00:34:24.522
Respectfully now.
688
00:34:24.562 --> 00:34:25.790
I'm feeling that.
689
00:34:25.830 --> 00:34:28.993
That's why you got to keep
the wisdoms around, man.
690
00:34:29.033 --> 00:34:33.868
B-l-a-k, man.
Blak the opposite of white, man.
691
00:34:33.905 --> 00:34:36.965
Like a member
of the African community.
692
00:34:37.008 --> 00:34:38.600
'Cause you know
how them gray people...
693
00:34:38.643 --> 00:34:40.736
been tryin' to trick us
with they slickery?
694
00:34:40.778 --> 00:34:43.406
Because of they trickery.
695
00:34:43.448 --> 00:34:45.609
Peep the connotations of that.
696
00:34:45.650 --> 00:34:47.208
It's, like, Blak...
697
00:34:47.251 --> 00:34:48.616
Angry
698
00:34:48.653 --> 00:34:49.677
Dark
699
00:34:49.720 --> 00:34:50.914
Sullen
700
00:34:50.955 --> 00:34:52.081
Depressed
701
00:34:52.123 --> 00:34:53.613
Wicked
702
00:34:53.658 --> 00:34:54.818
Blackball
703
00:34:54.859 --> 00:34:55.826
Blacklisted
704
00:34:55.860 --> 00:34:57.327
Black cat is bad luck
705
00:34:57.361 --> 00:34:58.760
Bad guys wear black
706
00:34:58.796 --> 00:35:00.889
Must have been a white guy
that started all that
707
00:35:00.932 --> 00:35:03.332
You know what I mean?
708
00:35:03.367 --> 00:35:07.167
Mau Mau Crew!
709
00:35:07.205 --> 00:35:08.331
I don't even know...
710
00:35:08.372 --> 00:35:10.237
why they put the "C"
in there to begin with.
711
00:35:10.274 --> 00:35:12.640
Ain't even fuckin'
pronounced in that shit.
712
00:35:12.677 --> 00:35:14.372
I love all
of y'all niggas, man.
713
00:35:14.412 --> 00:35:15.572
Mau Mau Crew!
714
00:35:15.613 --> 00:35:17.444
To' up!
715
00:35:18.449 --> 00:35:20.781
This is Mantan Moreland.
716
00:35:20.818 --> 00:35:23.946
This is one of his most popular
films--"The Lucky Ghost."
717
00:35:23.988 --> 00:35:26.752
It was from the 1940s.
718
00:35:26.791 --> 00:35:30.249
He was such a clown.
719
00:35:30.294 --> 00:35:32.626
A bit of a buffoon,
but very funny.
720
00:35:32.663 --> 00:35:34.790
That ain't funny.
721
00:35:34.832 --> 00:35:36.459
Now, what is this?
722
00:35:36.501 --> 00:35:38.799
How does he
make his eyes do that?
723
00:35:38.836 --> 00:35:40.736
He was gifted.
724
00:35:40.771 --> 00:35:45.834
Gentlemen, the show,
our show is satirical.
725
00:35:45.877 --> 00:35:47.538
You know what that means?
726
00:35:47.578 --> 00:35:50.411
That means
we are poking fun of this.
727
00:35:50.448 --> 00:35:54.316
Our aim is to destroy
these stereotypes.
728
00:35:54.352 --> 00:35:58.550
I've put together
these two portfolios...
729
00:35:58.589 --> 00:36:00.489
full of pictures and articles...
730
00:36:00.525 --> 00:36:02.755
everything you need to know
about a minstrel show.
731
00:36:04.829 --> 00:36:08.424
Whoa, wait. Wait a minute.
732
00:36:08.466 --> 00:36:10.832
We gonna need
a little more money for this.
733
00:36:10.868 --> 00:36:14.304
Come on. "Ten Little Niggers?"
734
00:36:14.338 --> 00:36:15.999
You get more money.
735
00:36:16.040 --> 00:36:18.372
Mantan in a chicken suit?
736
00:36:18.409 --> 00:36:20.468
Mantan!
737
00:36:20.511 --> 00:36:23.378
Come on, Mantan.
738
00:36:23.414 --> 00:36:25.348
Let's study this material.
739
00:36:25.383 --> 00:36:26.611
Study hard, gentlemen.
740
00:36:26.651 --> 00:36:28.710
You look great
in those Hillnigger jeans.
741
00:36:30.721 --> 00:36:33.554
That motherfucker crazy, man.
742
00:36:33.591 --> 00:36:36.560
The good Reverend
Dr. Martin Luther King...
743
00:36:36.594 --> 00:36:41.156
did not enjoy seeing his people
beaten on the 6:00 news.
744
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:43.827
However, white America
needed to see that...
745
00:36:43.868 --> 00:36:46.598
in order to move
this country to change.
746
00:36:46.637 --> 00:36:50.334
They need to see this show
for that exact same reason.
747
00:36:55.046 --> 00:36:59.005
I'm gonna trust you know
what you're doing, Pierre.
748
00:36:59.050 --> 00:37:01.416
That's my little lamb.
749
00:37:01.619 --> 00:37:03.553
I'd like to begin
this meeting...
750
00:37:03.588 --> 00:37:07.957
by saying I am a fair person.
A straight shooter.
751
00:37:07.992 --> 00:37:10.984
I do not hold my tongue.
752
00:37:11.028 --> 00:37:13.997
So I must tell you this,
that I had nothing to do...
753
00:37:14.031 --> 00:37:16.898
with any of you being hired.
754
00:37:16.934 --> 00:37:18.629
If I had my druthers...
755
00:37:18.669 --> 00:37:21.297
there'd be at least
one Negro writer in this room...
756
00:37:21.339 --> 00:37:27.141
and that afro does not
qualify you, my Jewish friend.
757
00:37:27.178 --> 00:37:31.547
Having said that, I would like
to open the floor...
758
00:37:31.582 --> 00:37:34.107
to some of your questions
and comments.
759
00:37:34.151 --> 00:37:35.812
Look, I agree with you.
760
00:37:35.853 --> 00:37:38.686
It would be better to have
some African-American writers...
761
00:37:38.723 --> 00:37:41.624
but, for whatever reason,
they're not here.
762
00:37:41.659 --> 00:37:45.493
Maybe they couldn't find
any people with experience.
763
00:37:45.529 --> 00:37:47.724
Or they wouldn't work
for the pay...
764
00:37:47.765 --> 00:37:51.462
or they refused
to work on the show.
765
00:37:51.502 --> 00:37:56.269
Or put their crack pipes down
long enough to apply.
766
00:37:56.307 --> 00:37:57.433
Pierre, I don't know--
767
00:37:57.475 --> 00:38:00.171
Mr. Delacroix.
You don't know...
768
00:38:00.211 --> 00:38:02.202
Mr. Delacroix, I don't know...
769
00:38:02.246 --> 00:38:04.271
and I don't think
anybody here does know...
770
00:38:04.315 --> 00:38:08.046
but what I do know is this
will be a unique experience.
771
00:38:08.085 --> 00:38:12.181
I am a damn good writer
and I'm ready to go to work.
772
00:38:15.626 --> 00:38:18.254
Thank you for rallying
the troops, Peter.
773
00:38:18.296 --> 00:38:21.322
I've always loved the format
of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-ln."
774
00:38:21.365 --> 00:38:23.697
"Sock it to me."
775
00:38:23.734 --> 00:38:25.759
Or Pigmeat Markham.
776
00:38:25.803 --> 00:38:28.704
"Here come the judge."
777
00:38:28.739 --> 00:38:30.832
We should look back
at those Seventies shows...
778
00:38:30.875 --> 00:38:32.866
which were groundbreaking.
779
00:38:32.910 --> 00:38:34.639
I'm from lowa,
as you all know...
780
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:38.115
and my first experience
of the black...
781
00:38:38.149 --> 00:38:40.174
people of col--Africa...
782
00:38:40.217 --> 00:38:43.311
is shows like "The Jeffersons."
783
00:38:43.354 --> 00:38:47.188
George and "Weezy!"
784
00:38:47.224 --> 00:38:49.920
Better than "The Jeffersons."
"Good Times."
785
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:52.895
"Kid Dy-no-mite!"
786
00:38:52.930 --> 00:38:54.727
The whole J.J. thing.
787
00:38:54.765 --> 00:38:57.666
I think--and Delacroix
will agree with me...
788
00:38:57.702 --> 00:39:00.398
that the politics of
this show have to be right.
789
00:39:00.438 --> 00:39:02.963
This show we are doing
is a minstrel show...
790
00:39:03.007 --> 00:39:07.967
which is blackface, tap dancing,
singing sketches.
791
00:39:08.012 --> 00:39:09.946
You're putting
white actors in blackface?
792
00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:11.038
No, my dear.
793
00:39:11.082 --> 00:39:15.212
We are using black actors
with blacker faces.
794
00:39:15.252 --> 00:39:17.447
Don't you think people
will be offended by this?
795
00:39:17.488 --> 00:39:19.752
Yes, that's good.
I want them to be offended.
796
00:39:19.790 --> 00:39:21.155
I want to wake America up.
797
00:39:21.192 --> 00:39:25.686
Even though the material
will be somewhat offensive...
798
00:39:25.730 --> 00:39:29.564
there is definitely
a social message...
799
00:39:29.600 --> 00:39:33.297
that we should focus on...
800
00:39:33.337 --> 00:39:35.567
when writing the material.
801
00:39:35.606 --> 00:39:37.665
We're gonna need some big stars.
802
00:39:37.708 --> 00:39:41.200
No, no, no.
You're gonna have a hard time...
803
00:39:41.245 --> 00:39:43.543
getting a big star
to wear blackface...
804
00:39:43.581 --> 00:39:45.913
because they become invisible.
805
00:39:45.950 --> 00:39:48.748
So, I mean, to ask Denzel...
806
00:39:48.786 --> 00:39:50.913
to put on blackface is foolish.
807
00:39:50.955 --> 00:39:52.946
You been took!
808
00:39:52.990 --> 00:39:55.686
You been hoodwinked.
Bamboozled.
809
00:39:55.726 --> 00:39:59.560
Now, I know that it may be hard
for some of you...
810
00:39:59.597 --> 00:40:04.261
Iiberal-minded good white folks
to write offensive material...
811
00:40:04.301 --> 00:40:09.000
yet I want you
to tap into your white angst.
812
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:12.702
I want you to go back
to the O.J. Simpson verdict.
813
00:40:12.743 --> 00:40:15.576
I want you to deal
with those emotions.
814
00:40:15.613 --> 00:40:19.481
How did you feel
when the glove didn't fit?
815
00:40:19.517 --> 00:40:22.111
It was ridiculous.
Cochran played the race card.
816
00:40:22.153 --> 00:40:23.484
The man is a murderer.
817
00:40:23.521 --> 00:40:25.580
If it had been a white man...
818
00:40:25.623 --> 00:40:27.648
The mission was accomplished.
819
00:40:27.691 --> 00:40:29.955
All of these people
left the room thinking...
820
00:40:29.994 --> 00:40:31.928
they would have real input.
821
00:40:31.962 --> 00:40:38.526
I was writing this pilot alone,
myself, me, moi.
822
00:40:38.569 --> 00:40:39.934
...after the verdict.
823
00:40:39.970 --> 00:40:42.097
I want you
to put yourself there...
824
00:40:42.139 --> 00:40:46.303
and this is your time to purge
all those feelings.
825
00:40:46.343 --> 00:40:47.833
This is a family show?
826
00:40:47.878 --> 00:40:51.405
A family show that takes place
in a watermelon patch.
827
00:40:51.449 --> 00:40:53.644
What?
828
00:40:53.984 --> 00:40:56.953
We're auditioning
for a house band for the show.
829
00:40:56.987 --> 00:41:00.115
The name of the group
is the Alabama Porch Monkeys.
830
00:41:00.157 --> 00:41:02.591
Do we have a problem,
any concerns with that?
831
00:41:02.626 --> 00:41:03.593
No, sir.
832
00:41:03.627 --> 00:41:07.290
Please, let us hear
some of your funk.
833
00:41:07.331 --> 00:41:09.322
Barefoot and pregnant
834
00:41:25.182 --> 00:41:26.877
Let me take it to the bridge
835
00:41:26.917 --> 00:41:28.646
Here we go
836
00:41:28.686 --> 00:41:31.678
You're barefoot
837
00:41:31.722 --> 00:41:33.553
Barefoot and pregnant
838
00:41:40.164 --> 00:41:42.428
Barefoot and pregnant
839
00:41:43.734 --> 00:41:45.634
She's barefoot and pregnant
840
00:41:45.669 --> 00:41:48.570
This was amazing.
841
00:41:48.606 --> 00:41:51.905
One small ad in "Backstage"...
842
00:41:51.942 --> 00:41:55.207
had Negroes lined up
around the block.
843
00:41:59.083 --> 00:42:03.349
Were people really
this desperate to get work?
844
00:42:03.387 --> 00:42:05.355
Apparently so.
845
00:42:05.389 --> 00:42:07.084
I'll be smackin' them hos
846
00:42:07.124 --> 00:42:09.558
I'll be smackin' my hos
847
00:42:09.593 --> 00:42:13.256
Everyone knows it goes,
kick 'em to the floor
848
00:42:13.297 --> 00:42:15.595
Step on 'em hard,
step on 'em hard
849
00:42:15.633 --> 00:42:18.693
Kick 'em to the floor,
'cause l
850
00:42:18.736 --> 00:42:20.931
I be smackin' my hos
851
00:42:20.971 --> 00:42:23.098
I be smackin' my hos
852
00:42:23.140 --> 00:42:26.075
I be smackin' my hos
853
00:42:26.110 --> 00:42:28.078
-Thank you.
-Next!
854
00:42:51.235 --> 00:42:53.362
Thank you. Thank you.
855
00:42:55.172 --> 00:42:57.140
That was great. Please...
856
00:42:57.174 --> 00:42:59.642
That was great. Fantastic.
857
00:42:59.677 --> 00:43:00.939
Thank you.
858
00:43:00.978 --> 00:43:02.468
What is your background?
859
00:43:02.513 --> 00:43:05.573
I'm a actor. You know, I act.
860
00:43:05.616 --> 00:43:07.709
What is the last thing
I might have seen you in?
861
00:43:07.751 --> 00:43:09.446
I act on my job all the time.
862
00:43:09.486 --> 00:43:12.922
Can you give me
a little performance?
863
00:43:12.957 --> 00:43:15.585
I do all sorts
of kind of things, man.
864
00:43:15.626 --> 00:43:16.957
Whatever you need me to do.
865
00:43:16.994 --> 00:43:18.985
I even do Shakespeare shit.
866
00:43:19.029 --> 00:43:20.496
Do some Shakespeare.
867
00:43:20.531 --> 00:43:22.692
To be or not to be, you know?
868
00:43:22.733 --> 00:43:24.633
That's the motherfuckin'
question.
869
00:43:24.668 --> 00:43:29.128
You know, that is
the motherfuckin' question.
870
00:43:29.173 --> 00:43:33.576
And, well, you know,
like in "Hamlet"...
871
00:43:33.611 --> 00:43:36.273
there's a scene
where this brother was--
872
00:43:36.313 --> 00:43:38.508
Laertes was asking the king...
873
00:43:38.549 --> 00:43:40.312
that he wanted
to go to Paris and shit.
874
00:43:40.351 --> 00:43:43.252
The king asked his daddy,
and his daddy say...
875
00:43:43.287 --> 00:43:50.921
"He hath, my lord, wrung from me
by laboursome petition..."
876
00:43:50.961 --> 00:43:53.862
Was there any more to it,
or that was pretty much...
877
00:43:53.897 --> 00:43:56.889
Basically he was saying
let that motherfucker go.
878
00:43:56.934 --> 00:43:58.834
Let him go, you know.
879
00:43:58.869 --> 00:44:01.133
I was working on this piece,
'cause I was sitting there...
880
00:44:01.171 --> 00:44:04.902
I realize that
when I was looking at it...
881
00:44:04.942 --> 00:44:09.038
Niggas is a beautiful thing.
You know?
882
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:10.307
Write that down.
883
00:44:10.347 --> 00:44:12.941
And so it came to me.
884
00:44:12.983 --> 00:44:15.042
It just came to me, you know?
885
00:44:15.085 --> 00:44:18.248
Waste away your life and linger
886
00:44:19.957 --> 00:44:22.517
Sittin' at home
watchin' Jerry Springer
887
00:44:24.728 --> 00:44:27.458
You do blackface
and a monkeyshine
888
00:44:30.167 --> 00:44:32.533
And cut a "G" at the same time
889
00:44:34.138 --> 00:44:37.301
'Cause niggas
is a beautiful thang
890
00:44:37.341 --> 00:44:39.775
Niggas is a beautiful thang,
hit me
891
00:44:39.810 --> 00:44:42.335
Niggas is a beautiful thang
892
00:44:42.379 --> 00:44:45.246
Then the audience would be
gettin' in with that.
893
00:44:45.282 --> 00:44:48.740
I'm digging that.
I am so digging that.
894
00:44:48.786 --> 00:44:51.880
"Niggas is a beautiful thing."
895
00:44:51.922 --> 00:44:53.219
I got it here.
896
00:44:53.257 --> 00:44:55.122
Then it get into a gospel thing.
897
00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:56.820
Stand up
898
00:44:56.860 --> 00:44:58.555
If you a nigga
899
00:44:58.595 --> 00:45:01.723
'Cause, you know,
it's about keeping it real.
900
00:45:01.765 --> 00:45:03.357
I'm feeling you.
901
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:06.699
We are ready if you are ready
902
00:45:06.737 --> 00:45:09.205
Mau Mau 'bout
to set shit off, say
903
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:12.231
We are ready if you are ready
904
00:45:12.276 --> 00:45:14.836
Mau Mau 'bout
to break shit off, say
905
00:45:14.878 --> 00:45:18.075
We are ready if you are ready
906
00:45:18.115 --> 00:45:19.912
Mau Mau, break it down,
a roll call
907
00:45:19.950 --> 00:45:21.349
-Who are you?
-Hard Blak
908
00:45:21.385 --> 00:45:22.784
Smooth Blak
909
00:45:22.820 --> 00:45:24.219
Mo Blak
910
00:45:24.254 --> 00:45:25.619
Your baby daddy
911
00:45:25.656 --> 00:45:26.850
Double Blak
912
00:45:26.890 --> 00:45:29.120
1/16th
913
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:30.319
I'm Big Blak,
and I just lay back
914
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:31.793
Now, who are we?
915
00:45:31.829 --> 00:45:33.888
Mau Mau, M-a-u, M-a-u
916
00:45:33.931 --> 00:45:35.796
Drop inside
917
00:45:35.833 --> 00:45:36.800
Born to roll
918
00:45:36.834 --> 00:45:38.324
Yeah.
919
00:45:43.841 --> 00:45:46.002
It be about fuckin' freedom
920
00:45:46.043 --> 00:45:47.840
Reparation and apology
921
00:45:47.878 --> 00:45:50.005
The Africa to America odyssey
922
00:45:50.047 --> 00:45:52.072
Guerilla-type tactics on it
923
00:45:52.116 --> 00:45:54.016
Socialistic fallacies
924
00:45:54.051 --> 00:45:56.815
It be about the devastation
of thought
925
00:45:56.854 --> 00:45:58.754
To keep a brown man down, sport
926
00:45:58.789 --> 00:46:00.518
The one you keep buying,
that wretched set
927
00:46:00.557 --> 00:46:02.548
You're lucky
I ain't read wretched yet
928
00:46:02.593 --> 00:46:04.424
It's fucked up
929
00:46:04.461 --> 00:46:07.259
It's Big Blak,
Mr. Chairman of the Mau Mau
930
00:46:07.297 --> 00:46:09.788
I hear it well
in all-black surround sound
931
00:46:09.833 --> 00:46:12.267
Barricaded till you
can't move around now
932
00:46:12.302 --> 00:46:14.827
Doin' the super Klan,
it ain't around now
933
00:46:14.872 --> 00:46:17.568
Buried six feet deep
beneath the ground now
934
00:46:17.608 --> 00:46:20.634
Pull out, bow down
935
00:46:20.677 --> 00:46:22.611
Foot lies in the ground now
936
00:46:22.646 --> 00:46:23.613
Shake it down
937
00:46:23.647 --> 00:46:26.514
M-a-u, M-a-u on fire
938
00:46:26.550 --> 00:46:28.484
Black is back
939
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:29.781
What's black?
940
00:46:29.820 --> 00:46:31.378
Black move to increase
the black cause
941
00:46:31.421 --> 00:46:32.683
What's black?
942
00:46:32.723 --> 00:46:34.122
Shade of the universe
943
00:46:34.158 --> 00:46:36.251
Mau Mau got the time,
born to roll
944
00:46:36.293 --> 00:46:39.194
Hard Blak, born to roll
945
00:46:39.229 --> 00:46:41.595
Mo Blak, born to roll
946
00:46:41.632 --> 00:46:44.032
Mau Mau, born to roll
947
00:46:44.067 --> 00:46:45.864
Back from
the motherfuckin' forest
948
00:46:45.903 --> 00:46:47.165
Born to roll
949
00:46:47.204 --> 00:46:49.035
Born to roll
950
00:46:49.072 --> 00:46:52.041
Aw-ight, cut that off.
951
00:46:52.075 --> 00:46:53.508
Cut that off.
952
00:46:53.544 --> 00:46:55.307
Cut that off, cut that off!
953
00:46:55.345 --> 00:46:57.711
Yo, cut that shit off
before I come up there!
954
00:46:57.748 --> 00:46:59.545
Cut the fuckin' sound off!
955
00:46:59.583 --> 00:47:01.141
Needless to say...
956
00:47:01.185 --> 00:47:05.952
the Mau Maus did not fit
into our plans.
957
00:47:05.989 --> 00:47:07.923
As I told Sloan...
958
00:47:07.958 --> 00:47:10.483
"There's a black sheep
in every family."
959
00:47:10.527 --> 00:47:12.654
-It's frightening.
-lt should be.
960
00:47:12.696 --> 00:47:15.426
I don't want anything
to do with anything black...
961
00:47:15.465 --> 00:47:17.194
for at least a week.
962
00:47:22.673 --> 00:47:25.403
For the love of Mary and Joseph!
963
00:47:28.545 --> 00:47:31.844
I will not be held responsible
for these revisions.
964
00:47:31.882 --> 00:47:34.783
These changes are not the way
I want to go with this show.
965
00:47:34.818 --> 00:47:37.844
This is an outrage,
a sham, a violation...
966
00:47:37.888 --> 00:47:39.583
a debacle, a mockery.
967
00:47:39.623 --> 00:47:41.682
Will you just calm down, please?
968
00:47:41.725 --> 00:47:43.249
In Finland, we get upset--
969
00:47:43.293 --> 00:47:45.591
I don't give a good goddamn
what they do in Finland...
970
00:47:45.629 --> 00:47:47.221
Sweden, Norway,
or wherever the hell...
971
00:47:47.264 --> 00:47:49.596
your young, dumb,
blond white ass is from.
972
00:47:49.633 --> 00:47:52.227
We just punched it up.
Made it funnier.
973
00:47:52.269 --> 00:47:54.999
Funnier to whom?
And at whose expense?
974
00:47:55.038 --> 00:47:58.371
Mr. Dunwitty,
when the Negroes run amok...
975
00:47:58.408 --> 00:48:00.273
and the boycotts commence...
976
00:48:00.310 --> 00:48:02.141
I'm going to personally give
the Reverend Al Sharpton...
977
00:48:02.179 --> 00:48:03.669
your home address.
978
00:48:03.714 --> 00:48:06.239
I seriously doubt
that will ever happen.
979
00:48:06.283 --> 00:48:07.750
I know your people
better than you.
980
00:48:07.784 --> 00:48:09.911
Look at all
the brothers on the wall.
981
00:48:09.953 --> 00:48:14.447
And if Reverend Al "Do" Sharpton
shows up at my door...
982
00:48:14.491 --> 00:48:16.356
I'll invite him in,
and we'll have a sit-down...
983
00:48:16.393 --> 00:48:19.453
and discuss it
like civil human beings.
984
00:48:19.496 --> 00:48:21.259
Really?
985
00:48:21.298 --> 00:48:23.926
Now, can you not interrupt me
while I'm discussing...
986
00:48:23.967 --> 00:48:26.367
the visual style and tone
of the show, please?
987
00:48:26.403 --> 00:48:28.394
What were you saying, Jukka?
988
00:48:37.147 --> 00:48:38.273
How y'all doin'?
989
00:48:39.616 --> 00:48:40.878
Let me hear you!
990
00:48:40.918 --> 00:48:42.476
Thank you! Thank you!
991
00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:43.952
I love you so much.
992
00:48:43.987 --> 00:48:46.854
Whoa, I like this.
993
00:48:46.890 --> 00:48:51.293
My name is Honeycutt.
Can you say that?
994
00:48:51.328 --> 00:48:54.126
Whenever you see me,
I'm gonna give you my greetin'.
995
00:48:57.267 --> 00:48:58.529
And you say...
996
00:49:04.408 --> 00:49:05.568
Hello, Jukka.
997
00:49:05.609 --> 00:49:07.907
Just wanted to wish you
good luck.
998
00:49:07.945 --> 00:49:10.140
-Thank you very much.
-Do a good show.
999
00:49:10.180 --> 00:49:11.943
I always try to do my best.
1000
00:49:11.982 --> 00:49:13.609
As usual, I did my research.
1001
00:49:13.650 --> 00:49:17.609
We should blacken up
like they did back in the day.
1002
00:49:17.654 --> 00:49:19.246
Keep the ritual the same.
1003
00:49:19.289 --> 00:49:22.656
So, pour some alcohol
on the corks and light it.
1004
00:49:22.693 --> 00:49:26.288
Let them burn to a crisp,
and when burnt out...
1005
00:49:26.330 --> 00:49:29.060
mash them to a powder.
1006
00:49:30.500 --> 00:49:33.060
Add water.
1007
00:49:33.103 --> 00:49:35.128
Mix to a thick paste.
1008
00:49:35.172 --> 00:49:39.040
And voila,
you have your blackface.
1009
00:49:40.577 --> 00:49:43.410
But please put cocoa butter
on your face and hands...
1010
00:49:43.447 --> 00:49:45.278
to protect your skin.
1011
00:50:07.504 --> 00:50:11.031
And the final detail...
1012
00:50:11.074 --> 00:50:12.735
are the lips.
1013
00:50:12.776 --> 00:50:15.267
The redder the lipstick,
the better.
1014
00:50:15.312 --> 00:50:19.681
So, I suggest fire-truck red.
1015
00:50:23.787 --> 00:50:27.689
Show...time.
1016
00:50:37.834 --> 00:50:41.702
This here's my best friend
Sleep'n Eat.
1017
00:50:41.738 --> 00:50:45.230
This here's
my best friend Mantan.
1018
00:50:45.275 --> 00:50:50.440
And we are two real coons.
1019
00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:54.041
We left the hustle and bustle
of uptown Harlem.
1020
00:50:54.084 --> 00:50:55.847
The Big Apple.
1021
00:50:55.886 --> 00:50:59.253
New York! New York!
Skyscrapers and everything.
1022
00:50:59.289 --> 00:51:01.223
To return to our roots.
1023
00:51:01.258 --> 00:51:03.556
Our Alabammy home.
That's right.
1024
00:51:03.593 --> 00:51:06.084
We is countrified.
We is sho nuff Bamas.
1025
00:51:06.129 --> 00:51:08.689
Here come the Bamas.
1026
00:51:08.732 --> 00:51:11.394
No more city slickers.
1027
00:51:11.435 --> 00:51:16.304
Can't you smell
that sweet aroma...
1028
00:51:16.339 --> 00:51:18.432
of high cotton...
1029
00:51:18.475 --> 00:51:20.636
and ripe watermelon?
1030
00:51:20.677 --> 00:51:24.374
Nigga, now don't you
get me to sniffin'.
1031
00:51:24.414 --> 00:51:27.349
Why don't you show us
some of them educated feets?
1032
00:51:30.153 --> 00:51:33.816
Cousins, first, second,
third, and distant...
1033
00:51:33.857 --> 00:51:37.054
why don't you let Mantan
take you back to a simpler time?
1034
00:51:37.094 --> 00:51:40.393
A time when men was men...
1035
00:51:40.430 --> 00:51:42.694
and women was women...
1036
00:51:42.732 --> 00:51:44.393
and nigras knew they place.
1037
00:51:48.004 --> 00:51:51.201
Cousins, I want you all
to go to your windows.
1038
00:51:51.241 --> 00:51:52.367
Open 'em up.
1039
00:51:52.409 --> 00:51:54.707
Go to your windows
and yell out...
1040
00:51:54.744 --> 00:51:56.268
"I'm tired of the drugs.
1041
00:51:56.313 --> 00:52:01.080
"I'm tired of the crack babies
born out of wedlock...
1042
00:52:01.118 --> 00:52:03.586
"to crackhead
AlD-infested parents.
1043
00:52:03.620 --> 00:52:07.488
"I'm tired of
the inflated welfare rolls...
1044
00:52:07.524 --> 00:52:09.253
"while good
wholesome Americans...
1045
00:52:09.292 --> 00:52:13.058
"bring less and less
of their paycheck home...
1046
00:52:13.096 --> 00:52:14.825
"every two weeks."
1047
00:52:14.865 --> 00:52:15.991
That's a long time, too.
1048
00:52:16.032 --> 00:52:19.763
I'm tired. You're tired.
We're all tired...
1049
00:52:19.803 --> 00:52:23.671
of all these so-called,
Bible-thumpin'...
1050
00:52:23.707 --> 00:52:25.504
Swing down, sweet low
1051
00:52:25.542 --> 00:52:26.770
God-fearin'...
1052
00:52:26.810 --> 00:52:28.141
G.P., are you with me?
1053
00:52:28.178 --> 00:52:32.478
whore-mongling
professional athletes.
1054
00:52:32.516 --> 00:52:35.110
You's a fine motherfucker, baby,
back that ass up.
1055
00:52:35.152 --> 00:52:37.450
Cousins, I want you
to go to your windows...
1056
00:52:37.487 --> 00:52:40.888
yell out, scream with all
the life you can muster up...
1057
00:52:40.924 --> 00:52:44.360
inside your bruised, battered,
assaulted bodies...
1058
00:52:44.394 --> 00:52:46.157
"I'm sick and tired
of niggers...
1059
00:52:46.196 --> 00:52:49.359
"and I'm not gonna
take it anymore!"
1060
00:52:49.399 --> 00:52:53.301
That boy something else.
Once he get to talkin'--
1061
00:52:54.471 --> 00:52:57.531
Lord, have mercy.
He done did it again.
1062
00:52:57.574 --> 00:52:59.542
Let me get him on up.
I got something for him.
1063
00:52:59.576 --> 00:53:02.511
Watch this.
Like a mad streak.
1064
00:53:02.546 --> 00:53:05.481
Got to do my watermelon patch.
Running Man.
1065
00:53:05.515 --> 00:53:08.143
Got to do the running slave.
Watch this.
1066
00:53:10.687 --> 00:53:12.552
Doctor don't know nothing
about these.
1067
00:53:12.589 --> 00:53:14.216
Here I go.
1068
00:53:14.257 --> 00:53:16.725
Down
1069
00:53:18.862 --> 00:53:20.796
Come on, now. Come on.
1070
00:53:20.830 --> 00:53:22.127
I'm rubbing the genie's lamp.
1071
00:53:22.165 --> 00:53:25.931
It's an emergency situation.
Clear!
1072
00:53:25.969 --> 00:53:28.995
Dem nigger apples
work every goddamn time!
1073
00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:30.973
Come on, boy!
1074
00:53:31.007 --> 00:53:32.338
Let's do this here.
1075
00:53:32.375 --> 00:53:33.865
You lucky
we ain't in the jailhouse.
1076
00:53:33.910 --> 00:53:35.309
I'll be like Captain Kirk
of the "Enterprise"...
1077
00:53:35.345 --> 00:53:37.506
going into the big black hole.
1078
00:53:37.547 --> 00:53:38.741
Give me one. Hut-one!
1079
00:53:38.782 --> 00:53:39.908
Hut...
1080
00:53:39.950 --> 00:53:41.850
Man, shit, just hut.
1081
00:53:41.885 --> 00:53:43.785
Here we go now.
I'm running, too.
1082
00:53:50.493 --> 00:53:52.222
Any pretty niggas in the house?
1083
00:53:53.230 --> 00:53:54.527
Come on out.
1084
00:55:12.309 --> 00:55:14.209
Take it home.
1085
00:55:14.244 --> 00:55:16.075
All right.
1086
00:55:28.291 --> 00:55:30.020
Bravo!
1087
00:56:02.225 --> 00:56:04.557
I just got the news
from the CNS brass...
1088
00:56:04.594 --> 00:56:05.822
that was at the taping.
1089
00:56:05.862 --> 00:56:07.261
They loved the pilot.
1090
00:56:07.297 --> 00:56:09.959
We're a midseason replacement.
They ordered twelve shows.
1091
00:56:09.999 --> 00:56:12.467
We're going to be
on the air in three weeks.
1092
00:56:14.237 --> 00:56:16.137
Did you hear what I just said?
1093
00:56:16.172 --> 00:56:17.400
They didn't even view
a rough cut.
1094
00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:19.840
They looked at some scenes
we quickly put together.
1095
00:56:19.876 --> 00:56:21.468
They were sweating us, man.
1096
00:56:21.511 --> 00:56:23.843
There must be
some sort of mistake.
1097
00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:27.475
Only mistake is I didn't believe
in your genius from jump street.
1098
00:56:27.517 --> 00:56:29.485
Dela, you are the man, bro.
1099
00:56:32.288 --> 00:56:35.086
Please, hold a second.
I have to take this call.
1100
00:56:36.960 --> 00:56:38.086
Peerless?
1101
00:56:38.128 --> 00:56:41.359
Hi, Mom.
Could you hold the line?
1102
00:56:41.398 --> 00:56:44.424
I have to get rid
of this other...
1103
00:56:44.467 --> 00:56:48.198
Mr. Dunwitty, it's my mom.
I really have to take this.
1104
00:56:48.238 --> 00:56:50.229
Your mama?
I want to meet her someday.
1105
00:56:50.273 --> 00:56:53.936
Tell the great news.
I'm out like Vanilla lce.
1106
00:56:57.414 --> 00:56:59.075
Peerless, your daddy called.
1107
00:56:59.115 --> 00:57:00.980
He wants you
to come and see him.
1108
00:57:04.587 --> 00:57:07.283
They got all this controversy in
Hollywood about black films...
1109
00:57:07.323 --> 00:57:08.881
and all this stuff
about black folks--
1110
00:57:08.925 --> 00:57:10.859
Are there enough of them on TV?
1111
00:57:10.894 --> 00:57:13.692
But we know we on the news.
We all over the news.
1112
00:57:13.730 --> 00:57:15.197
My favorite black show
is "Cops."
1113
00:57:15.231 --> 00:57:18.223
You know we on that, too.
1114
00:57:18.268 --> 00:57:22.602
I can't watch all that stuff--
that WB--We Be Black.
1115
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:24.971
Little nigger frog
look like Quincy Jones.
1116
00:57:25.008 --> 00:57:26.873
I can't watch all that.
1117
00:57:26.910 --> 00:57:32.109
UPN--You Pick a Nigger--
any nigger you want.
1118
00:57:32.148 --> 00:57:36.517
But I have to confess,
I love "Jerry Springer."
1119
00:57:36.553 --> 00:57:39.317
It's the all-American show.
1120
00:57:39.355 --> 00:57:41.016
Where else can you see
three white women...
1121
00:57:41.057 --> 00:57:43.252
fight over a nigger
with one tooth?
1122
00:57:48.231 --> 00:57:50.324
And no job.
1123
00:57:50.366 --> 00:57:53.130
And speaks fluent Ebonics.
1124
00:57:53.169 --> 00:57:55.137
"Reggie,
how come you got three women?"
1125
00:57:55.171 --> 00:57:57.935
"They like dick, Jerry."
1126
00:57:57.974 --> 00:58:00.499
"Your mama like dick?"
1127
00:58:00.543 --> 00:58:03.011
I wrote a movie
and sold it to the studio.
1128
00:58:03.046 --> 00:58:04.775
I'm real excited about it.
1129
00:58:04.814 --> 00:58:08.011
"Last White Man on Earth."
1130
00:58:08.051 --> 00:58:10.417
Don't look for a sequel.
We catch him.
1131
00:58:14.657 --> 00:58:18.457
Starring Diana Ross
and Whoopi Goldberg.
1132
00:58:18.495 --> 00:58:19.689
We beat them
for about five minutes.
1133
00:58:19.729 --> 00:58:22.698
"Where is he?
We saw you with him."
1134
00:58:25.468 --> 00:58:28.835
Have you noticed that everybody
white want to be black?
1135
00:58:28.872 --> 00:58:30.362
White folks
want to be black folks.
1136
00:58:30.406 --> 00:58:31.634
I went to school
with white people.
1137
00:58:31.674 --> 00:58:33.642
Their lips weren't that big.
1138
00:58:33.676 --> 00:58:35.974
They get stuff in their lips.
They take it out their behind.
1139
00:58:36.012 --> 00:58:38.207
They do anything
to get big nigger lips.
1140
00:58:38.248 --> 00:58:39.738
Black people been killed
on the highway.
1141
00:58:39.782 --> 00:58:42.182
They come by. "I'll take these."
1142
00:58:44.888 --> 00:58:47.618
The lips so big,
the little kids look adopted.
1143
00:58:48.992 --> 00:58:51.893
Everybody want to be black,
but nobody want to be black.
1144
00:58:51.928 --> 00:58:53.589
It confuses me.
1145
00:58:53.630 --> 00:58:55.621
They all act black, sound black.
1146
00:58:55.665 --> 00:58:57.530
I hope they start
hanging niggers again.
1147
00:58:57.567 --> 00:59:00.331
I'm going to find out
who's black.
1148
00:59:00.370 --> 00:59:04.966
Tell you some street jokes.
I love them.
1149
00:59:05.008 --> 00:59:06.976
Ain't they the funniest?
1150
00:59:11.481 --> 00:59:13.506
A nigger escaped
from the crazy house.
1151
00:59:16.553 --> 00:59:18.350
That's already scary.
1152
00:59:19.389 --> 00:59:22.688
And ran to where the nuns live.
1153
00:59:22.725 --> 00:59:26.092
There was Sister Mary,
Sister Jane, and Mother Theresa.
1154
00:59:26.129 --> 00:59:28.063
He went in there buck naked...
1155
00:59:28.097 --> 00:59:30.930
and had the biggest, thickest,
longest penis you ever seen.
1156
00:59:30.967 --> 00:59:32.229
He was all skin.
1157
00:59:32.268 --> 00:59:35.294
So, Sister Mary wanted
to protect Mother Theresa.
1158
00:59:35.338 --> 00:59:37.203
She grabbed a butcher knife.
1159
00:59:37.240 --> 00:59:40.368
"Mother Theresa, where do you
want me to start cutting?"
1160
00:59:40.410 --> 00:59:43.311
Mother Theresa said,
"Here and here."
1161
00:59:47.250 --> 00:59:49.013
You know that shit is funny.
1162
00:59:49.052 --> 00:59:51.077
Who is it?
1163
00:59:51.120 --> 00:59:53.315
Peerless.
1164
00:59:53.356 --> 00:59:55.381
That's my son at the door.
1165
00:59:59.562 --> 01:00:00.722
How are you doing?
1166
01:00:00.763 --> 01:00:04.096
Looking good. Good to see you.
1167
01:00:04.133 --> 01:00:05.293
Looking good, son.
1168
01:00:05.335 --> 01:00:07.530
You look dandy
in that orange ensemble.
1169
01:00:07.570 --> 01:00:09.561
Have a seat, son.
1170
01:00:12.108 --> 01:00:14.201
-You were hilarious.
-Thank you.
1171
01:00:14.243 --> 01:00:16.404
Absolutely hilarious.
1172
01:00:16.446 --> 01:00:17.845
It was a good show.
1173
01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:19.871
Dot, get my son a drink.
1174
01:00:19.916 --> 01:00:21.349
Sure thing, baby.
1175
01:00:21.384 --> 01:00:25.115
I always enjoy
seeing you perform.
1176
01:00:25.154 --> 01:00:28.590
Good, good. I try.
1177
01:00:28.625 --> 01:00:30.320
You do more than try.
1178
01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:31.884
You succeed.
1179
01:00:33.329 --> 01:00:34.853
I hope this is all right.
1180
01:00:34.897 --> 01:00:36.524
-It's perfect. Thank you.
-You're welcome.
1181
01:00:36.566 --> 01:00:38.625
Cheers.
1182
01:00:38.668 --> 01:00:41.831
Guess I'd better leave
y'all two alone, all right?
1183
01:00:41.871 --> 01:00:44.101
That was a good show tonight.
Give me some sugar.
1184
01:00:44.140 --> 01:00:46.404
-I love you, baby.
-I love you, too.
1185
01:00:46.442 --> 01:00:48.706
I'm so proud of you.
1186
01:00:48.745 --> 01:00:50.144
All right.
1187
01:00:50.179 --> 01:00:51.339
Be back.
1188
01:00:53.883 --> 01:00:56.010
That's a good woman.
1189
01:00:56.052 --> 01:00:58.213
How did you end up here?
1190
01:00:58.254 --> 01:01:03.317
I got too much pride,
too much dignity...
1191
01:01:03.359 --> 01:01:05.418
integrity.
1192
01:01:05.461 --> 01:01:07.395
I can't do
that Hollywood stuff, man.
1193
01:01:07.430 --> 01:01:10.126
I can't say that stuff
they want me to say.
1194
01:01:10.166 --> 01:01:13.192
There's got to be
something more than that.
1195
01:01:13.236 --> 01:01:14.931
Reality, I mean.
1196
01:01:14.971 --> 01:01:18.668
Maybe you weren't funny enough.
1197
01:01:18.708 --> 01:01:20.972
You must be crazy, man.
1198
01:01:21.010 --> 01:01:22.944
Didn't you hear
that audience tonight?
1199
01:01:22.979 --> 01:01:25.106
They were with me.
1200
01:01:25.148 --> 01:01:28.083
They were laughing with me.
They got me.
1201
01:01:28.117 --> 01:01:31.985
I'm funny as hell, OK?
What you up to?
1202
01:01:32.021 --> 01:01:33.886
Trying to get my stuff
on the air.
1203
01:01:35.258 --> 01:01:38.625
Where do you go from here?
1204
01:01:38.661 --> 01:01:41.391
South Carolina,
another little nigger club.
1205
01:01:41.431 --> 01:01:43.763
No, I meant in life.
Where do you go?
1206
01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:45.392
In life?
1207
01:01:45.435 --> 01:01:46.732
I'm happy.
1208
01:01:46.769 --> 01:01:48.794
Got me a pretty woman.
1209
01:01:48.838 --> 01:01:52.296
Got a little money in my pocket.
1210
01:01:52.341 --> 01:01:53.706
Got me some tonic.
1211
01:01:53.743 --> 01:01:56.803
I'm above ground.
I'm ahead of the game.
1212
01:01:56.846 --> 01:01:58.871
And you know what
I always taught you.
1213
01:01:58.915 --> 01:02:01.383
Every nigger is an entertainer.
1214
01:02:03.786 --> 01:02:05.549
The question is...
1215
01:02:05.588 --> 01:02:07.385
What are you going to do,
Peerless?
1216
01:02:07.423 --> 01:02:09.755
And one more thing.
1217
01:02:09.792 --> 01:02:13.455
Nigger, where the fuck
did you get that accent?
1218
01:02:16.499 --> 01:02:20.333
Why do you always use
that word "nigger" so much?
1219
01:02:20.369 --> 01:02:24.430
I say "nigger"
a hundred times every morning.
1220
01:02:24.474 --> 01:02:26.840
Keeps my teeth white.
1221
01:02:26.876 --> 01:02:28.309
Come on, Junebug.
1222
01:02:28.344 --> 01:02:30.107
My father.
1223
01:02:30.146 --> 01:02:32.910
I'm not mad at him--
not at all.
1224
01:02:32.949 --> 01:02:35.509
Or the stock market crash--
Black Monday.
1225
01:02:35.551 --> 01:02:36.848
Junebug was the reason...
1226
01:02:36.886 --> 01:02:39.218
I had gotten into this business
in the first place.
1227
01:02:39.255 --> 01:02:40.813
You hear white folks
all the time--
1228
01:02:40.857 --> 01:02:42.848
"lt was the darkest day
of my life."
1229
01:02:42.892 --> 01:02:45.952
When they faint--"l blacked out.
I don't remember anything."
1230
01:02:45.995 --> 01:02:48.259
And I thank him for that.
1231
01:02:48.297 --> 01:02:52.563
However, it did me no good
seeing him in that state.
1232
01:02:52.602 --> 01:02:54.229
Father was a broken man.
1233
01:02:54.270 --> 01:02:55.567
...broke or lose our money--
1234
01:02:55.605 --> 01:02:57.368
"lt was the whitest day
of my life."
1235
01:02:57.406 --> 01:03:00.000
He had been a strong man...
1236
01:03:00.042 --> 01:03:04.672
with conviction,
integrity, principles...
1237
01:03:04.714 --> 01:03:07.114
and look
where it had gotten him.
1238
01:03:07.150 --> 01:03:08.777
Even the cartoons are racist.
1239
01:03:08.818 --> 01:03:10.547
Have you noticed that?
1240
01:03:10.586 --> 01:03:12.747
Why do they treat us like that?
1241
01:03:12.789 --> 01:03:15.087
I had to ask myself--
1242
01:03:15.124 --> 01:03:18.116
Did I want to end up
where he was?
1243
01:03:18.161 --> 01:03:19.492
Laughing and grinning...
1244
01:03:19.529 --> 01:03:23.124
Hell, emphatically, no.
1245
01:03:23.166 --> 01:03:26.067
Broke and the happiest people
on the planet.
1246
01:03:26.102 --> 01:03:29.731
That was the last time
I ever saw Junebug.
1247
01:03:29.772 --> 01:03:30.966
A damn shame.
1248
01:03:31.007 --> 01:03:33.305
Remember, son...
1249
01:03:33.342 --> 01:03:35.936
always keep 'em laughing.
1250
01:03:35.978 --> 01:03:37.605
Keep 'em laughing.
1251
01:03:43.719 --> 01:03:46.313
Everybody say, "Ho!"
1252
01:03:46.355 --> 01:03:48.414
Say, "Ho, ho!"
1253
01:03:48.457 --> 01:03:50.015
Say, "Ho, ho, ho!"
1254
01:03:54.864 --> 01:03:56.923
We're going to do something
a little different tonight.
1255
01:03:56.966 --> 01:03:58.194
Can you help a brother out?
1256
01:03:58.234 --> 01:04:00.327
Can you do this, folks?
1257
01:04:00.369 --> 01:04:02.701
We're going to start a chant,
and I'll start it off.
1258
01:04:02.738 --> 01:04:06.731
The chant goes like this.
"Let's go, niggers."
1259
01:04:22.225 --> 01:04:26.685
Let's welcome to the stage
two real coons...
1260
01:04:26.729 --> 01:04:29.698
the Dusty Duo--
1261
01:04:29.732 --> 01:04:30.960
Mantan...
1262
01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:33.332
and his sepia sidekick...
1263
01:04:33.369 --> 01:04:37.203
Sleep'n Eat!
1264
01:04:37.240 --> 01:04:39.037
Showtime.
1265
01:04:53.222 --> 01:04:54.655
-Go on now.
-OK, come on.
1266
01:04:54.690 --> 01:04:57.420
-Slow down, boy.
-He ain't here.
1267
01:04:57.460 --> 01:04:58.484
Come on.
1268
01:04:58.527 --> 01:05:00.927
We gonna get us
some of these here chickies.
1269
01:05:03.032 --> 01:05:05.125
Oh, boy,
I can taste me a wing now.
1270
01:05:08.738 --> 01:05:10.638
Look at that there.
1271
01:05:10.673 --> 01:05:14.575
Corn bread, biscuits,
red beans, and rice.
1272
01:05:14.610 --> 01:05:17.044
-What you talking about, man?
-My wish list.
1273
01:05:17.079 --> 01:05:20.446
Man, our massa's
gonna wish our ass.
1274
01:05:20.483 --> 01:05:22.781
You know my lady Lucindy?
1275
01:05:22.818 --> 01:05:25.514
-You mean the one with the big--
-No, not her.
1276
01:05:25.554 --> 01:05:27.715
-The one with the little...
-Oh, her.
1277
01:05:27.757 --> 01:05:30.885
Yes. You see,
tomorrow's her birthday...
1278
01:05:30.927 --> 01:05:33.361
and I want to get her something
really nice, like one of those--
1279
01:05:33.396 --> 01:05:35.125
No. Don't get her one of those.
1280
01:05:35.164 --> 01:05:36.392
What you need to do
is get her one of them--
1281
01:05:36.432 --> 01:05:38.400
No. She hates them.
1282
01:05:38.434 --> 01:05:40.629
That's too bad.
1283
01:05:40.670 --> 01:05:42.331
Why don't you get her a dress?
1284
01:05:42.371 --> 01:05:46.501
You mean one of those sexy,
slinky, foxy ones with the--
1285
01:05:46.542 --> 01:05:48.271
They're too short.
1286
01:05:48.311 --> 01:05:50.074
And too tight. You need
to get her one of them--
1287
01:05:50.112 --> 01:05:51.704
Now, that's too big.
1288
01:05:51.747 --> 01:05:53.544
You know,
the in-between kind--
1289
01:05:53.582 --> 01:05:55.675
not too loose, not too tight.
1290
01:05:55.718 --> 01:05:57.618
That's perfect, there.
1291
01:05:57.653 --> 01:05:59.780
You know that dress
is going to cost you around--
1292
01:05:59.822 --> 01:06:02.154
That's too much money.
I can't afford it.
1293
01:06:02.191 --> 01:06:03.954
I needs me a dress
that's going to cost--
1294
01:06:03.993 --> 01:06:06.655
Can't get it that cheap.
1295
01:06:06.696 --> 01:06:08.527
I'll get a less expensive dress.
1296
01:06:08.564 --> 01:06:10.361
Save some money,
take her out to dinner.
1297
01:06:10.399 --> 01:06:12.094
Boy, you getting fancy now!
1298
01:06:13.836 --> 01:06:15.326
Why don't I come over,
we get a double date?
1299
01:06:15.371 --> 01:06:17.669
No, man.
I heard your lady is wild.
1300
01:06:17.707 --> 01:06:20.574
No. That was her second cousin,
the one married to Lil' Bit.
1301
01:06:20.609 --> 01:06:24.101
Because you know
on our first date...
1302
01:06:24.146 --> 01:06:25.545
she let me...
1303
01:06:25.581 --> 01:06:27.708
That bitch didn't.
1304
01:06:27.750 --> 01:06:29.445
Oh, yes, she did.
1305
01:06:29.485 --> 01:06:30.645
I heard differently.
1306
01:06:30.686 --> 01:06:32.916
I heard your monkey ass
went up in there--
1307
01:06:32.955 --> 01:06:35.287
No. Not that time.
1308
01:06:36.292 --> 01:06:37.623
What time you going to see her?
1309
01:06:37.660 --> 01:06:39.958
-Let's say around--
-That's too early.
1310
01:06:39.996 --> 01:06:42.362
-How's about--
-That's too late.
1311
01:06:43.366 --> 01:06:44.731
Why don't you
pick us up around--
1312
01:06:44.767 --> 01:06:46.735
Now, that's perfect.
1313
01:06:51.307 --> 01:06:53.002
See, that's why we get along.
1314
01:06:53.042 --> 01:06:55.306
Like sweet and peas.
1315
01:07:00.783 --> 01:07:03.843
Now, let's go get us
some of them little chickies.
1316
01:07:03.886 --> 01:07:06.047
Hey, who goes in there?
1317
01:07:06.088 --> 01:07:08.556
Good God in the goose fat,
we better hide.
1318
01:07:08.591 --> 01:07:10.218
Ooh, gosh.
1319
01:07:10.259 --> 01:07:14.525
It's that mean, evil overseer
Master Charlie.
1320
01:07:14.563 --> 01:07:15.757
I say!
1321
01:07:15.798 --> 01:07:18.028
I say, who goes in there?
1322
01:07:18.067 --> 01:07:20.592
Ain't nobody in here
except us chickens!
1323
01:07:28.210 --> 01:07:29.973
Let's go now!
1324
01:07:30.012 --> 01:07:31.673
Let's go now!
1325
01:07:34.283 --> 01:07:35.580
Hey, you!
1326
01:07:35.618 --> 01:07:37.711
Come back here right now!
1327
01:07:37.753 --> 01:07:42.087
Well, maybe it is...amusing.
1328
01:07:42.124 --> 01:07:44.490
It was the day of reckoning.
1329
01:07:44.527 --> 01:07:48.759
After a massive advertising
and publicity campaign...
1330
01:07:48.798 --> 01:07:52.529
the public would finally
get a chance to view "Mantan."
1331
01:07:52.568 --> 01:07:57.767
I was feeling
a little like Dr. Frankenstein.
1332
01:07:57.807 --> 01:08:00.571
What would their reaction be?
1333
01:08:00.609 --> 01:08:02.236
I hadn't the foggiest.
1334
01:08:03.312 --> 01:08:04.904
It's getting ready to come on.
1335
01:08:04.947 --> 01:08:07.040
I wish I was
in the land of cotton
1336
01:08:07.083 --> 01:08:08.948
Old times
there are not forgotten
1337
01:08:08.984 --> 01:08:11.009
Look away, look away
1338
01:08:11.053 --> 01:08:13.078
Look away, Dixieland
1339
01:08:13.122 --> 01:08:15.056
In Dixieland, where I was born
1340
01:08:15.091 --> 01:08:17.116
Early on one frosty morning
1341
01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:19.354
Look away, look away
1342
01:08:19.395 --> 01:08:22.193
Why they got to make
my nose so big?
1343
01:08:22.231 --> 01:08:24.165
What's up with my lips?
1344
01:08:24.200 --> 01:08:27.636
No. This wasn't
supposed to be like this.
1345
01:08:27.670 --> 01:08:30.230
Where do you guys work,
in the lobby of the damn place?
1346
01:08:30.272 --> 01:08:33.571
Man, listen,
I don't know what to tell you.
1347
01:08:33.609 --> 01:08:35.236
You have every right
to be upset.
1348
01:08:35.277 --> 01:08:39.646
But first,
a word from our proud sponsors.
1349
01:08:39.682 --> 01:08:41.411
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby
1350
01:08:41.450 --> 01:08:43.111

1351
01:08:43.152 --> 01:08:45.086
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby
1352
01:08:45.121 --> 01:08:46.986

01:08:52.761 --> 01:08:54.661
It's Da Bomb, baby.
1356
01:08:54.697 --> 01:08:56.164
It's Da Bomb, dawg.
1357
01:08:56.198 --> 01:08:57.756
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby
1358
01:08:57.800 --> 01:08:59.893
It makes you get your freak on
1359
01:08:59.935 --> 01:09:02.233
Chemical testing has found...
1360
01:09:02.271 --> 01:09:06.207
that Viagra doesn't work
on black johnsons.
1361
01:09:06.242 --> 01:09:12.943
That's why our scientist
has developed Da Bomb for you.
1362
01:09:12.982 --> 01:09:14.779
It makes you feel
like a man, yo...

01:09:14.817 --> 01:09:17.479
and it makes them bitches
feel like natural women.
1364
01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:19.317
I mean hos.
1365
01:09:19.355 --> 01:09:21.152
It makes my nature rise.
1366
01:09:21.190 --> 01:09:22.851
I want to get funked up.
1367
01:09:33.202 --> 01:09:37.696
Da Bomb makes me want
to get my freak on.
1368
01:09:37.740 --> 01:09:39.469
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby
1369
01:09:39.508 --> 01:09:42.033
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby.
1370
01:09:42.077 --> 01:09:45.604
It makes you get your swerve on.
1371
01:09:45.648 --> 01:09:47.548

01:09:47.583 --> 01:09:49.551

Hillnigger keeps it real.
1387
01:10:18.214 --> 01:10:20.045
Timmi's gots
all the latest gear.
1388
01:10:20.082 --> 01:10:22.448
If you want
to keep it really real...
1389
01:10:22.484 --> 01:10:23.849
never get out of the gheetto...
1390
01:10:23.886 --> 01:10:25.717
stay broke,
and continue to add...
1391
01:10:25.754 --> 01:10:28.188
to my multibillion dollar
corporation...
1392
01:10:28.224 --> 01:10:29.851
keep buying all my gear--
1393
01:10:29.892 --> 01:10:31.359
the Timmi Hillnigger
collection.
1394
01:10:31.393 --> 01:10:33.987
We keep it so real,
we give you the bullet holes.
1395
01:10:34.029 --> 01:10:38.022
Go, Timmi, go, Timmi!
1396
01:10:38.067 --> 01:10:40.900
All my niggas
wear Timmi Hillnigger...
1397
01:10:40.936 --> 01:10:43.700
or they don't wear
a damn thing at all!
1398
01:10:43.739 --> 01:10:47.038
It's ghetto fabulous!
1399
01:10:47.076 --> 01:10:50.011
I was sunk, dead.
1400
01:10:50.045 --> 01:10:52.240
My goose was cooked.
1401
01:10:52.281 --> 01:10:56.012
The cat was in the bag,
and the bag was in the river.
1402
01:10:56.051 --> 01:10:57.416
I like this.
1403
01:10:57.453 --> 01:10:59.318
You guys have both seen
the overnight ratings.
1404
01:10:59.355 --> 01:11:00.515
They're through the roof.
1405
01:11:00.556 --> 01:11:02.353
Mazel tov.
But in this business...
1406
01:11:02.391 --> 01:11:04.916
we have to be
one, two, three steps ahead.
1407
01:11:04.960 --> 01:11:06.621
That's why I brought in
Myrna Goldfarb.
1408
01:11:06.662 --> 01:11:09.028
She's the best media consultant
in the biz.
1409
01:11:09.064 --> 01:11:10.292
She's going to help us out.
1410
01:11:10.332 --> 01:11:13.495
First, I would like to say
I love your show.
1411
01:11:13.535 --> 01:11:15.366
It's very courageous.
1412
01:11:15.404 --> 01:11:18.601
My parents marched
in Selma, Alabama with Dr. King.
1413
01:11:18.641 --> 01:11:20.905
-Why are you here?
-Good question.
1414
01:11:20.943 --> 01:11:23.377
Straight to the point.
I like your style.
1415
01:11:23.412 --> 01:11:26.404
Because of the content
of the show...
1416
01:11:26.448 --> 01:11:28.746
we're going to expect
some very spirited reactions.
1417
01:11:28.784 --> 01:11:31.412
Myrna's here to plan
our strategy, just in case.
1418
01:11:31.453 --> 01:11:33.819
Right.
The best defense is offense.
1419
01:11:33.856 --> 01:11:35.619
Really? I thought it was
the other way around.
1420
01:11:35.658 --> 01:11:38.593
Exactly.
I think we're on the same page.
1421
01:11:38.627 --> 01:11:42.358
I've mapped out strategies
to help bolster our position.
1422
01:11:42.398 --> 01:11:45.231
-Which is?
-Lighten up, man, right?
1423
01:11:45.267 --> 01:11:47.497
This is about fun, right?
1424
01:11:47.536 --> 01:11:49.128
Nice, wholesome fun.
1425
01:11:49.171 --> 01:11:50.763
Myrna, break it down for them.
1426
01:11:50.806 --> 01:11:54.503
The Mantan Manifesto.
Catchy, ain't it?
1427
01:11:54.543 --> 01:11:57.671
So is syphilis.
1428
01:11:57.713 --> 01:11:59.180
Number one--
1429
01:11:59.214 --> 01:12:01.114
we gainfully employ
African-Americans...
1430
01:12:01.150 --> 01:12:03.516
in front of
and behind the camera.
1431
01:12:03.552 --> 01:12:05.986
You got to cover yourselves,
people--very important.
1432
01:12:06.021 --> 01:12:10.458
I need a black grip,
a black gaffer, a black P.A.
1433
01:12:11.159 --> 01:12:12.285
Have them there.
1434
01:12:12.327 --> 01:12:15.819
Number two--
Let the audience decide.
1435
01:12:15.864 --> 01:12:18.424
Three--who put these critics
in charge anyway, right?
1436
01:12:18.467 --> 01:12:21.561
These so-called cultural police.
1437
01:12:21.603 --> 01:12:24.265
Four--
Who determines what is black?
1438
01:12:24.306 --> 01:12:25.500
What is black?
1439
01:12:25.540 --> 01:12:29.772
Sleep'n Eat and Mantan
are lazy and unemployed...
1440
01:12:29.811 --> 01:12:31.711
but we are certainly
not saying anything...
1441
01:12:31.747 --> 01:12:34.375
about the entire
African-American community.
1442
01:12:34.416 --> 01:12:35.940
They're slackers.
1443
01:12:35.984 --> 01:12:37.975
I took a couple of years
after graduate school...
1444
01:12:38.020 --> 01:12:40.079
and walked around
the European countryside.
1445
01:12:40.122 --> 01:12:41.646
It's not the biggest deal
in the world.
1446
01:12:41.690 --> 01:12:45.217
Five--Mantan is a satire.
1447
01:12:45.260 --> 01:12:48.787
Six--lf they can't take a joke,
you know what? "F" 'em.
1448
01:12:48.830 --> 01:12:50.161
Yeah. "F" 'em.
1449
01:12:50.198 --> 01:12:52.291
I think that if we stick
to this kind of strategy...
1450
01:12:52.334 --> 01:12:54.302
it's clean sailing from here.
1451
01:12:54.336 --> 01:12:57.772
No disrespect,
but this is some bullshit.
1452
01:12:57.806 --> 01:12:59.330
Well, I've done my research.
1453
01:12:59.374 --> 01:13:02.605
These are Negroes
we are talking about...
1454
01:13:02.644 --> 01:13:04.874
not some lab mice in a cage.
1455
01:13:04.913 --> 01:13:07.814
We are not one monolithic group
of people.
1456
01:13:07.849 --> 01:13:13.151
We do not all think, look,
and act alike, Ms. Goldfarb.
1457
01:13:13.188 --> 01:13:14.655
Mr. Delacroix,
let me assure you--
1458
01:13:14.689 --> 01:13:17.658
I got my Ph.D. in African-
American studies from Yale.
1459
01:13:17.692 --> 01:13:20.058
So you fucked
a Negro in college.
1460
01:13:20.095 --> 01:13:24.498
Excuse me.
Let's keep this above the belt.
1461
01:13:24.533 --> 01:13:27.525
Show a little respect
for this woman.
1462
01:13:27.569 --> 01:13:31.096
Yes. Continue,
O Great Niggerologist.
1463
01:13:31.139 --> 01:13:33.573
-Enlighten us.
-I'm sorry, Myrna.
1464
01:13:33.608 --> 01:13:34.973
The biggest thing
in public relations...
1465
01:13:35.010 --> 01:13:37.205
is, of course,
to always smile.
1466
01:13:37.245 --> 01:13:38.735
Show dem pearly whites.
1467
01:13:38.780 --> 01:13:41.544
Wear Kente cloth.
1468
01:13:41.583 --> 01:13:45.542
Invoke the spirit
of Dr. Martin Luther King.
1469
01:13:45.587 --> 01:13:49.182
Use the word "community" often
when talking about "Mantan."
1470
01:13:49.224 --> 01:13:52.523
And, finally, our biggest asset
is you, Pierre Delacroix.
1471
01:13:52.561 --> 01:13:55.758
-Me?
-Yes, you.
1472
01:13:55.797 --> 01:13:56.923
How?
1473
01:13:56.965 --> 01:14:00.958
This show was created
and conceived by you, right?
1474
01:14:01.002 --> 01:14:04.130
A nonthreatening
African-American male.
1475
01:14:04.172 --> 01:14:07.300
So the show can't be racist
because you're black.
1476
01:14:07.342 --> 01:14:09.037
That's where you're wrong.
1477
01:14:09.077 --> 01:14:12.877
He's not black.
No, see, he's a Negro.
1478
01:14:14.349 --> 01:14:16.408
You have your small victory.
1479
01:14:16.451 --> 01:14:18.214
Pierre, yassa man!
1480
01:14:18.253 --> 01:14:19.777
A small victory, is it?
1481
01:14:19.821 --> 01:14:22.289
-Right on, man.
-Great show.
1482
01:14:22.324 --> 01:14:24.724
That's small when
you've been used to losing.
1483
01:14:24.759 --> 01:14:29.628
Hey, Delacroix.
Funny show, man.
1484
01:14:29.664 --> 01:14:31.427
And what is this?
1485
01:14:31.466 --> 01:14:33.058
It's a gift.
1486
01:14:33.101 --> 01:14:35.569
For what, pray tell?
1487
01:14:35.604 --> 01:14:40.200
Despite how I may feel
about the show personally...
1488
01:14:40.242 --> 01:14:43.575
you did come up with something,
let's say, unique.
1489
01:14:43.612 --> 01:14:45.944
Unique?
1490
01:14:45.981 --> 01:14:47.915
Why don't you open it?
1491
01:14:53.288 --> 01:14:55.552
Watch this.
1492
01:15:03.532 --> 01:15:05.932
And what do we call this thing?
1493
01:15:05.967 --> 01:15:08.800
It is called
a "Jolly Nigger Bank."
1494
01:15:08.837 --> 01:15:10.099
Ain't that something?
1495
01:15:10.138 --> 01:15:12.106
And it's not a repro.
1496
01:15:12.140 --> 01:15:14.734
It's circa turn of the century.
1497
01:15:14.776 --> 01:15:16.641
Thank you, I guess.
1498
01:15:16.678 --> 01:15:18.509
I thought it was appropriate.
1499
01:15:18.547 --> 01:15:20.014
And is that good or bad?
1500
01:15:20.048 --> 01:15:21.982
Well, got a brand-new
successful show...
1501
01:15:22.017 --> 01:15:23.951
so you'll be going to the bank.
1502
01:15:23.985 --> 01:15:27.443
Plus,
I love these black collectibles.
1503
01:15:27.489 --> 01:15:28.683
Really? How so?
1504
01:15:28.723 --> 01:15:31.283
It reminds me of a time
in our history...
1505
01:15:31.326 --> 01:15:38.027
in this country when
we were considered inferior...
1506
01:15:38.066 --> 01:15:41.001
subhuman,
and we should never forget.
1507
01:15:41.036 --> 01:15:43.698
Why don't you try, Pierre?
1508
01:15:43.738 --> 01:15:46.434
Why don't I give it a whirl?
1509
01:15:50.212 --> 01:15:51.941
It's something, ain't it?
1510
01:15:51.980 --> 01:15:54.540
It's something, all right.
1511
01:15:59.888 --> 01:16:02.379
When American people
want something...
1512
01:16:02.424 --> 01:16:05.393
they want it now
and want it big.
1513
01:16:05.427 --> 01:16:08.919
They wanted the hula hoop
and their yo-yos.
1514
01:16:08.964 --> 01:16:12.923
Who could ever forget
those lovable Pet Rocks...
1515
01:16:12.968 --> 01:16:15.459
Beanie Babies, Pokemon?
1516
01:16:15.503 --> 01:16:18.233
Now the latest, hottest,
newest sensation...
1517
01:16:18.273 --> 01:16:21.265
across the nation was Blackface!
1518
01:16:21.309 --> 01:16:23.334
Trick or treat!
1519
01:16:23.378 --> 01:16:24.902
Blackface!
1520
01:16:24.946 --> 01:16:27.642
Trick or treat!
1521
01:16:27.682 --> 01:16:30.082
Welcome back to
"lmhotep Gary Byrd's GBE"...
1522
01:16:30.118 --> 01:16:33.519
from 1 190 Talk Radio,
WLlB in New York City.
1523
01:16:33.555 --> 01:16:36.285
Our special guest today
is Pierre Delacroix.
1524
01:16:36.324 --> 01:16:40.920
He is the creator of the highly
controversial TV show "Mantan."
1525
01:16:40.962 --> 01:16:42.623
Pierre, we welcome you
to the "Experience."
1526
01:16:42.664 --> 01:16:45.098
It's good to experience
the "Experience," Gary.
1527
01:16:45.133 --> 01:16:48.728
Your show has created a strong
impression in the community.
1528
01:16:48.770 --> 01:16:54.174
You have been called a traitor,
an Uncle Tom, a sell-out.
1529
01:16:54.209 --> 01:16:57.303
Even been called the
Clarence Thomas of television.
1530
01:16:57.345 --> 01:16:58.505
It's nice to be hyphenated.
1531
01:16:58.546 --> 01:17:01.709
Why does your show cause
such an emotional reaction?
1532
01:17:01.750 --> 01:17:04.014
Well, I think it's race.
1533
01:17:04.052 --> 01:17:07.988
Race has always been a very
sensitive issue in this country.
1534
01:17:08.023 --> 01:17:12.460
I have no problem with people
disagreeing with my show.
1535
01:17:12.494 --> 01:17:13.620
That's fine.
1536
01:17:13.662 --> 01:17:18.361
But when they trample
my inherent right...
1537
01:17:18.400 --> 01:17:21.392
as an artist, I catch afire.
1538
01:17:21.436 --> 01:17:25.805
Why is every hit
Negro show criticized?
1539
01:17:25.840 --> 01:17:29.332
Like crabs in a barrel,
they pull each other down.
1540
01:17:29.377 --> 01:17:34.178
No one, in any way, shape,
or form, should be censored.
1541
01:17:34.215 --> 01:17:36.046
Do you believe
that that's true...
1542
01:17:36.084 --> 01:17:39.053
regardless of whether
the material is racist...
1543
01:17:39.087 --> 01:17:41.555
or sexist,
or even homophobic?
1544
01:17:41.589 --> 01:17:43.250
I say yes.
1545
01:17:43.291 --> 01:17:45.589
Because who is to judge?
1546
01:17:45.627 --> 01:17:49.996
Who is to stand and say
this is right or this is not?
1547
01:17:50.031 --> 01:17:52.522
I mean, I'm not Mayor Guiliani.
1548
01:17:52.567 --> 01:17:56.162
I cannot look at that painting
and say that is sacrilegious.
1549
01:17:56.204 --> 01:17:59.662
It's art, and that is
what it should be called.
1550
01:17:59.708 --> 01:18:01.005
So is "Mantan."
1551
01:18:01.042 --> 01:18:03.033
There are many people
who at this point...
1552
01:18:03.078 --> 01:18:05.876
are sick and tired
of the TV industry.
1553
01:18:05.914 --> 01:18:07.381
And there are many
in the community...
1554
01:18:07.415 --> 01:18:10.816
who say what they're doing
has got to stop now.
1555
01:18:10.852 --> 01:18:12.319
What do you say
about the fact...
1556
01:18:12.354 --> 01:18:13.685
that the line
has to be drawn here?
1557
01:18:13.722 --> 01:18:14.950
Those people need to wake up.
1558
01:18:14.989 --> 01:18:16.456
Wake up to what?
1559
01:18:16.491 --> 01:18:19.324
Slavery has been over
400 years ago!
1560
01:18:19.361 --> 01:18:21.693
We need to stop
thinking that way.
1561
01:18:21.730 --> 01:18:24.790
Stop crying over,
"the white man this or that."
1562
01:18:24.833 --> 01:18:26.698
This is the new millennium...
1563
01:18:26.735 --> 01:18:29.169
and we must join it.
1564
01:18:29.204 --> 01:18:31.832
Slavery did not end
400 years ago.
1565
01:18:31.873 --> 01:18:34.842
Slavery ended in 1865.
Do the math.
1566
01:18:34.876 --> 01:18:36.434
Your great-grandmother...
1567
01:18:36.478 --> 01:18:39.538
who raised your mother's mother,
was a slave...
1568
01:18:39.581 --> 01:18:41.674
and here you are,
in this studio...
1569
01:18:41.716 --> 01:18:43.684
trying to excuse
our own holocaust?
1570
01:18:43.718 --> 01:18:45.845
You're talking numbers, Gary.
1571
01:18:45.887 --> 01:18:49.288
200 years, 300 years,
it doesn't matter.
1572
01:18:49.324 --> 01:18:52.657
What matters, Gary,
is slave mentality...
1573
01:18:52.694 --> 01:18:54.685
and that is what must be broken.
1574
01:18:54.729 --> 01:18:57.664
I had an aunt.
We called her "Sister."
1575
01:18:57.699 --> 01:19:00.167
Aunt Sister went to her grave...
1576
01:19:00.201 --> 01:19:04.331
believing that man
had not walked on the moon.
1577
01:19:04.372 --> 01:19:06.636
I would argue
with this dear old woman.
1578
01:19:06.674 --> 01:19:08.665
I'd say,
"It's on television..."
1579
01:19:08.710 --> 01:19:13.204
and she'd say, "l don't care
what's on that idiot box.
1580
01:19:13.248 --> 01:19:15.182
"No man is on the moon."
1581
01:19:15.216 --> 01:19:19.448
Gary, there are millions
of Negroes in this country...
1582
01:19:19.487 --> 01:19:22.081
with that same mentality.
1583
01:19:22.123 --> 01:19:27.186
They think like my Aunt Sister,
and they must change.
1584
01:19:27.228 --> 01:19:29.059
We must adapt to the times.
1585
01:19:29.097 --> 01:19:31.258
Otherwise,
we will be left behind.
1586
01:19:31.299 --> 01:19:33.426
No more mess, CNS!
1587
01:19:33.468 --> 01:19:35.527
Ban "Mantan"!
1588
01:19:40.074 --> 01:19:42.474
We've come to put you on notice!
1589
01:19:42.510 --> 01:19:45.377
There will be no desecrating
of our people!
1590
01:19:45.413 --> 01:19:48.041
There will be none of this
in the new century!
1591
01:19:48.082 --> 01:19:50.812
We will not allow
no minstrel shows...
1592
01:19:50.852 --> 01:19:52.513
in the 21st century!
1593
01:19:52.554 --> 01:19:54.249
We're gonna close you down!
1594
01:19:54.289 --> 01:19:56.883
We're gonna close down
the advertising!
1595
01:19:56.925 --> 01:19:59.894
You wouldn't drop the bomb
on your children!
1596
01:19:59.928 --> 01:20:01.395
That's right, Rev!
1597
01:20:01.429 --> 01:20:02.691
Look at how they disgrace us!
1598
01:20:02.730 --> 01:20:04.220
This is what we're protesting!
1599
01:20:04.265 --> 01:20:05.994
Painted face!
A disgrace to the race!
1600
01:20:06.034 --> 01:20:08.525
Painted face,
disgrace to the race!
1601
01:20:21.616 --> 01:20:23.584
Yo, man, why is
the Reverend Al Sharpton...
1602
01:20:23.618 --> 01:20:25.347
and Johnnie Cochran down there?
1603
01:20:25.386 --> 01:20:26.853
Opportunists.
1604
01:20:26.888 --> 01:20:29.652
They love to see themselves
on television.
1605
01:20:29.691 --> 01:20:32.023
You sound like the media.
1606
01:20:32.060 --> 01:20:33.527
This is nothing.
1607
01:20:33.561 --> 01:20:37.088
Tomorrow it'll all be over.
1608
01:20:37.131 --> 01:20:39.497
Besides, as Mr. Dunwitty says...
1609
01:20:39.534 --> 01:20:42.560
there's no such thing
as bad publicity.
1610
01:20:44.272 --> 01:20:48.072
Here. That's for you.
1611
01:20:48.109 --> 01:20:51.442
It's a token of appreciation
for all your hard work.
1612
01:20:51.479 --> 01:20:54.277
All right.
Good-lookin', man.
1613
01:21:04.292 --> 01:21:07.261
Those are the last pair
of tap shoes...
1614
01:21:07.295 --> 01:21:10.389
worn by Mr. Bill
"Bojangles" Robinson.
1615
01:21:10.431 --> 01:21:11.591
Word?
1616
01:21:11.633 --> 01:21:14.727
He died with those on his feet.
1617
01:21:14.769 --> 01:21:15.963
Buggin'.
1618
01:21:16.004 --> 01:21:18.268
No joke. I'm serious.
1619
01:21:18.306 --> 01:21:20.570
I hope I don't go out like that.
1620
01:21:30.051 --> 01:21:32.076
It's a nice sound.
1621
01:21:32.120 --> 01:21:34.213
Wood on wood.
1622
01:21:37.058 --> 01:21:38.650
Here come Blak.
1623
01:21:38.693 --> 01:21:40.456
Whassup?
1624
01:21:40.495 --> 01:21:42.326
Those fuckin' Tom Sambos.
1625
01:21:42.363 --> 01:21:44.354
Handkerchief-head-wearing ass.
1626
01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:45.764
Dancin' monkey.
1627
01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:47.165
Benedict Arnold!
1628
01:21:47.201 --> 01:21:49.169
Those motherfuckers
fuckin' it up...
1629
01:21:49.203 --> 01:21:51.569
for the whole fuckin'--
fuckin' everybody!
1630
01:21:51.606 --> 01:21:53.073
They gonna dis us...
1631
01:21:53.107 --> 01:21:55.507
and keep them two fuckin'
smilin', happy...
1632
01:21:55.543 --> 01:21:58.011
Tom-laughing
coon motherfuckers...
1633
01:21:58.046 --> 01:22:00.139
Mantan and goddamn
Sleep'n Eat?!
1634
01:22:00.181 --> 01:22:01.239
You know what I'm sayin'?
1635
01:22:01.282 --> 01:22:04.046
They's foul, know what I mean?
1636
01:22:04.085 --> 01:22:05.518
-Know what I mean?
-Know what I'm sayin'?
1637
01:22:10.825 --> 01:22:13.419
We know, man!
1638
01:22:13.461 --> 01:22:17.090
Brothers, sister...
1639
01:22:17.131 --> 01:22:19.065
Yo, we can't let
this injustice go by.
1640
01:22:19.100 --> 01:22:20.260
Not this time, man.
1641
01:22:20.301 --> 01:22:22.098
Them two coons is ill, man.
1642
01:22:22.136 --> 01:22:24.070
Word up, man.
What we do on this level...
1643
01:22:24.105 --> 01:22:26.539
this shit gotta be
fuckin' big, y'all.
1644
01:22:26.574 --> 01:22:29.839
It's gotta be some
global blowout shit.
1645
01:22:29.877 --> 01:22:34.541
This shit gotta have some
symbolism to it! Sustenance.
1646
01:22:34.582 --> 01:22:39.576
This shit gotta be like fuckin'
John Carlos and Tommie Smith...
1647
01:22:39.621 --> 01:22:41.748
at the '68 Olympics,
you know what I'm saying?
1648
01:22:41.789 --> 01:22:44.155
Put the fists up!
Some big shit!
1649
01:22:44.192 --> 01:22:45.819
This is nice.
1650
01:22:45.860 --> 01:22:47.327
This is real nice.
1651
01:22:47.362 --> 01:22:51.128
This must have cost you
a pretty penny.
1652
01:22:51.165 --> 01:22:52.689
Me, I got it like that now.
1653
01:22:52.734 --> 01:22:54.668
Oh, you do.
1654
01:22:55.903 --> 01:22:58.064
I mean,
a little somethin' somethin'.
1655
01:22:58.106 --> 01:23:00.040
A little somethin' somethin'
is right.
1656
01:23:00.074 --> 01:23:01.871
I hope you saving
a little somethin' somethin'.
1657
01:23:01.909 --> 01:23:03.843
I ain't tryin' to end up broke.
1658
01:23:03.878 --> 01:23:06.972
Well, that's good.
1659
01:23:07.015 --> 01:23:08.846
See you got your pictures up.
1660
01:23:10.084 --> 01:23:12.052
I was just reading
the other day...
1661
01:23:12.086 --> 01:23:14.054
at the beginning
of the 20th Century...
1662
01:23:14.088 --> 01:23:17.319
how African-Americans
had to perform in blackface.
1663
01:23:17.358 --> 01:23:19.849
You know that entertainer
Bert Williams?
1664
01:23:19.894 --> 01:23:22.488
He was brilliant.
You know Bert?
1665
01:23:22.530 --> 01:23:25.988
Not really.
Maybe before my time.
1666
01:23:26.034 --> 01:23:27.763
Do you read?
1667
01:23:27.802 --> 01:23:30.362
I mean, not really.
Sort of hurts my head.
1668
01:23:30.405 --> 01:23:33.374
Hurts your head.
You should start reading.
1669
01:23:33.408 --> 01:23:37.344
Maybe I should start
doing a lot of things.
1670
01:23:37.378 --> 01:23:40.006
Well, as I was saying...
1671
01:23:40.048 --> 01:23:41.948
Bert Williams and the rest...
1672
01:23:41.983 --> 01:23:44.543
they had to blacken up
'cause they had no choice.
1673
01:23:44.585 --> 01:23:47.019
And of course,
during that time...
1674
01:23:47.055 --> 01:23:49.580
we were considered
3/5 of a human being.
1675
01:23:49.624 --> 01:23:51.592
Did you know that was
actually written...
1676
01:23:51.626 --> 01:23:53.423
in the Constitution
of the United States?
1677
01:23:53.461 --> 01:23:56.953
Sloan, why you flippin' on me
right now?
1678
01:23:56.998 --> 01:23:59.159
I mean,
this whole blackface thing.
1679
01:23:59.200 --> 01:24:01.896
Don't try to front
like you wasn't down.
1680
01:24:01.936 --> 01:24:04.404
It was all part of a deal,
you know?
1681
01:24:04.439 --> 01:24:06.407
You was down from the get-go.
1682
01:24:06.441 --> 01:24:09.899
You're down with Dela, right?
1683
01:24:09.944 --> 01:24:12.310
Yes. I'm down with Dela.
1684
01:24:12.346 --> 01:24:14.974
I just thought
you might be interested...
1685
01:24:15.016 --> 01:24:16.881
in the origins of blackface.
1686
01:24:16.918 --> 01:24:22.083
Look, my man Womack, myself...
1687
01:24:22.123 --> 01:24:24.557
we can definitely
handle this business.
1688
01:24:24.592 --> 01:24:29.996
I mean, for sure, I know
I can handle my business.
1689
01:24:34.635 --> 01:24:38.036
Well, OK.
1690
01:24:39.640 --> 01:24:42.609
I'm gonna check this view out
'cause it's real nice.
1691
01:24:42.643 --> 01:24:44.543
I'm diggin' this whole thing
right here.
1692
01:24:44.579 --> 01:24:46.444
This is a nice vibe.
1693
01:24:46.481 --> 01:24:48.039
I'm liking this.
1694
01:25:20.948 --> 01:25:23.178
Sleep'n Eat.
1695
01:25:50.478 --> 01:25:52.207
I seen a lot of troubles lately.
1696
01:25:52.246 --> 01:25:54.612
Oh? Well, how be dat?
1697
01:25:54.649 --> 01:25:57.709
I don't know who I is.
1698
01:26:00.955 --> 01:26:04.083
Well, I'll be a Alabama
porch monkey's uncle.
1699
01:26:06.427 --> 01:26:09.624
At least you know who you is.
1700
01:26:09.664 --> 01:26:12.462
Years ago, I married a widow
who had a grown-up daughter.
1701
01:26:12.500 --> 01:26:15.469
My daddy visited us often,
fell in love, and married her.
1702
01:26:15.503 --> 01:26:18.131
Thusly,
he became my son-in-law...
1703
01:26:18.172 --> 01:26:19.969
and my step-daughter
became my mother...
1704
01:26:20.007 --> 01:26:22.373
because she was
my father's wife.
1705
01:26:22.410 --> 01:26:23.536
That's right.
1706
01:26:23.578 --> 01:26:27.105
After that, my father's wife
gave birth to a son...
1707
01:26:27.148 --> 01:26:30.743
which became my brother
and my grandchild.
1708
01:26:30.785 --> 01:26:32.446
Because he was the son
of my daughter.
1709
01:26:32.486 --> 01:26:34.784
-What? You jivin'!
-I ain't!
1710
01:26:34.822 --> 01:26:38.258
Now, accordingly,
my wife was my grandmother...
1711
01:26:38.292 --> 01:26:40.920
because she was
my mother's mother.
1712
01:26:40.962 --> 01:26:44.454
Mantan, I was my wife's
husband and grandchild...
1713
01:26:44.498 --> 01:26:46.056
at one and the same time.
1714
01:26:46.100 --> 01:26:47.727
And lo and behold...
1715
01:26:47.768 --> 01:26:50.134
as the husband of a person's
grandmother is a grandfather...
1716
01:26:50.171 --> 01:26:51.297
That's right.
1717
01:26:51.339 --> 01:26:53.534
I became my goddamn
own grandfather!
1718
01:26:53.574 --> 01:26:56.907
Holy mackerel!
1719
01:26:56.944 --> 01:27:02.644
Sleep'n Eat,
that sho is a whopper!
1720
01:27:02.683 --> 01:27:04.241
You said it, cousin.
1721
01:27:04.285 --> 01:27:07.550
Or is we?
1722
01:27:07.588 --> 01:27:10.182
Feets...do your stuff.
1723
01:27:43.224 --> 01:27:44.691
Watch out now!
1724
01:28:38.813 --> 01:28:40.781
You ain't never seen no niggers
1725
01:28:40.815 --> 01:28:42.407
Standin' here with a fiddle
1726
01:28:42.450 --> 01:28:43.644
You ain't never seen no niggers
1727
01:28:43.684 --> 01:28:46.084
A-standin' here
playin' on no fiddle
1728
01:28:46.120 --> 01:28:47.712
You ain't seen no niggers
like this
1729
01:28:47.755 --> 01:28:49.723
Standin' here
playin' on a fiddle
1730
01:28:49.757 --> 01:28:51.588
You ain't seen
no niggers like this
1731
01:28:51.625 --> 01:28:53.593
Gettin' down on the fiddle,
watch this now
1732
01:28:53.627 --> 01:28:55.993
You couldn't hold out
any longer, could you?
1733
01:29:00.935 --> 01:29:02.800
I ain't worried about
money in the middle
1734
01:29:02.837 --> 01:29:04.600
'Cause I got my funky fiddle
1735
01:29:04.638 --> 01:29:06.196
I ain't worried about money
in the middle
1736
01:29:06.240 --> 01:29:08.333
'Cause I got my funky fiddle,
watch this now
1737
01:29:10.277 --> 01:29:11.869
What's so funny, man?
1738
01:29:11.912 --> 01:29:13.607
Fuckin' shit is funny to me.
1739
01:29:13.647 --> 01:29:15.012
You funny to me.
1740
01:29:19.553 --> 01:29:20.884
Watch him now.
1741
01:29:32.500 --> 01:29:33.865
No, man.
1742
01:29:36.737 --> 01:29:39.763
Fuck that, man.
1743
01:29:39.807 --> 01:29:41.638
I'm ready to merc somebody.
1744
01:29:41.675 --> 01:29:44.872
Pull some big fuckin'
Clint Eastwood shit...
1745
01:29:44.912 --> 01:29:46.903
and blow that nigger's
fuckin' cavities back.
1746
01:29:46.947 --> 01:29:49.177
That's what I say, right?
Blow his cavities back.
1747
01:29:52.119 --> 01:29:54.314
To my astonishment...
1748
01:29:54.355 --> 01:29:57.324
not only did the people
in television land love us...
1749
01:29:57.358 --> 01:29:59.383
but also the critics.
1750
01:29:59.427 --> 01:30:03.022
"Mantan" was being hailed
as groundbreaking...
1751
01:30:03.064 --> 01:30:06.625
barrier-breaking,
also earth-shaking.
1752
01:30:06.667 --> 01:30:09.761
I looked forward to my awards.
1753
01:30:09.804 --> 01:30:13.797
Just vindication
for all my hard work...
1754
01:30:13.841 --> 01:30:17.208
all my talent that had
previously been overlooked.
1755
01:30:17.244 --> 01:30:19.474
Pierre Delacroix for "Mantan"!
1756
01:30:28.289 --> 01:30:30.223
Mira, I love you!
1757
01:30:30.257 --> 01:30:31.724
You don't know this...
1758
01:30:31.759 --> 01:30:33.420
but we both took Mandarin
together at Harvard.
1759
01:30:33.461 --> 01:30:35.929
You didn't notice me,
I sat in the back of the class.
1760
01:30:35.963 --> 01:30:40.093
You are like the light
reflected off an angel!
1761
01:30:40.134 --> 01:30:44.036
That routine
would go over like gangbusters.
1762
01:30:44.071 --> 01:30:46.665
I would be a dancing fool.
1763
01:30:46.707 --> 01:30:49.198
Hollywood's new favorite Negro.
1764
01:30:49.243 --> 01:30:52.144
Move over,
Danny, Morgan, Samuel L.!
1765
01:30:52.179 --> 01:30:54.943
Out of my way,
Eddie and Wesley!
1766
01:30:54.982 --> 01:30:57.177
Make room for me, Will Smith!
1767
01:30:57.218 --> 01:30:59.914
Here comes Delacroix!
1768
01:30:59.954 --> 01:31:01.512
Show me the money!
1769
01:31:01.555 --> 01:31:04.490
...Best New
Situational Comedy is...
1770
01:31:04.525 --> 01:31:06.152
Pierre Delacroix...
1771
01:31:06.193 --> 01:31:09.788
for "Mantan: The New
Millennium Minstrel Show."
1772
01:31:13.300 --> 01:31:16.599
I want to thank
the Academy truly...
1773
01:31:16.637 --> 01:31:20.004
for this award.
1774
01:31:20.040 --> 01:31:22.941
Right now, words escape me.
1775
01:31:22.977 --> 01:31:25.172
Which is odd for a writer,
of course.
1776
01:31:25.212 --> 01:31:29.342
Mr. Modine, would you please
join me at the podium?
1777
01:31:29.383 --> 01:31:35.253
Now, I have never met this man
in my life before.
1778
01:31:35.289 --> 01:31:37.280
I...
1779
01:31:37.324 --> 01:31:39.849
am his greatest fan.
1780
01:31:39.894 --> 01:31:41.452
I've seen all your work.
1781
01:31:41.495 --> 01:31:45.829
I've seen you in "Rumble Fish"
and "Flamingo Kid"...
1782
01:31:45.866 --> 01:31:47.663
and "Something About Mary"
and "Wild Things."
1783
01:31:47.701 --> 01:31:50.101
I've just watched that
over and over--
1784
01:31:50.137 --> 01:31:52.071
Matt Dillon?
1785
01:31:55.109 --> 01:31:57.077
I'm sure if you
were in those movies...
1786
01:31:57.111 --> 01:31:58.635
you would have been
just as brilliant...
1787
01:31:58.679 --> 01:32:01.409
so I want to thank you
from the bowels of my heart...
1788
01:32:01.448 --> 01:32:03.678
and I want you
to have this Emmy, please.
1789
01:32:03.717 --> 01:32:05.412
I do not deserve it.
1790
01:32:05.452 --> 01:32:07.010
I can't accept this, Pierre.
1791
01:32:07.054 --> 01:32:08.817
That's very generous of you
and very kind.
1792
01:32:08.856 --> 01:32:10.847
Give it to the garbageman!
1793
01:32:10.891 --> 01:32:12.483
This is for "Mantan"--
1794
01:32:12.526 --> 01:32:14.721
Give this man his Emmy!
1795
01:32:18.032 --> 01:32:23.368
If I did that,
I'd be assured of work forever.
1796
01:32:23.404 --> 01:32:26.999
Delacroix...
the grateful Negro.
1797
01:32:27.041 --> 01:32:30.238
All right, we're takin' it
from the same spot.
1798
01:32:30.277 --> 01:32:31.904
Toehill, don't rush.
1799
01:32:31.946 --> 01:32:34.938
One, two, three, and...
1800
01:32:42.356 --> 01:32:43.584
Don't rush!
1801
01:32:49.263 --> 01:32:51.197
Come on, get down there!
1802
01:32:53.567 --> 01:32:55.797
Pivots toe.
1803
01:33:10.351 --> 01:33:13.013
Come on now, what was that?
1804
01:33:13.053 --> 01:33:14.987
Let me hear you,
Lil'nigger Jim.
1805
01:33:19.960 --> 01:33:21.257
Let me hear you once again, man.
1806
01:33:23.163 --> 01:33:25.358
Wrong! How old are you, man?
1807
01:33:25.399 --> 01:33:27.731
-Ten.
-You want to live to see eleven?
1808
01:33:27.768 --> 01:33:29.235
What's going on, man?
1809
01:33:29.270 --> 01:33:31.830
Y'all need a break or something?
1810
01:33:31.872 --> 01:33:33.499
Let's take a break.
1811
01:33:33.540 --> 01:33:35.269
Take a ten-minute break.
1812
01:33:35.309 --> 01:33:37.903
Take a break.
Y'all take a break, man!
1813
01:33:37.945 --> 01:33:40.106
Yo, what's up, man?
1814
01:33:40.147 --> 01:33:42.115
I don't know, man. Sorry.
1815
01:33:42.149 --> 01:33:43.514
Surprised at you, man.
1816
01:33:52.059 --> 01:33:53.219
Whassup?
1817
01:33:53.260 --> 01:33:54.727
Whassup?
1818
01:33:54.762 --> 01:33:57.060
Since when do you start
talking to people like that?
1819
01:33:57.097 --> 01:33:58.928
Tell me, when that start?
1820
01:33:58.966 --> 01:34:00.399
When you start that?
1821
01:34:00.434 --> 01:34:02.299
You see what they're doin'
to my 'ography, man?
1822
01:34:02.336 --> 01:34:03.564
They're messin' it up, man.
1823
01:34:03.604 --> 01:34:05.572
Trippin', man.
I'm not drinkin' the Kool-Aid.
1824
01:34:05.606 --> 01:34:07.631
You ain't drinkin'?
What you mean?
1825
01:34:07.675 --> 01:34:10.405
Like Jim Jones.
I'm not drinkin' the Kool-Aid.
1826
01:34:10.444 --> 01:34:12.469
What you talkin' about, man?
1827
01:34:12.513 --> 01:34:15.949
This pickaninny,
watermelon bullshit!
1828
01:34:15.983 --> 01:34:19.111
I'm out! I'm raisin' up!
The fuck outta here.
1829
01:34:19.153 --> 01:34:20.484
You out?
1830
01:34:20.521 --> 01:34:23.319
Know what, man?
Good. Be out.
1831
01:34:23.357 --> 01:34:24.824
'Cause I got a broken back...
1832
01:34:24.858 --> 01:34:26.883
from carrying you around
all these years anyway.
1833
01:34:26.927 --> 01:34:28.588
So that's what you been doing?
1834
01:34:30.698 --> 01:34:33.132
Stand up. Stand up, OK?
1835
01:34:33.167 --> 01:34:35.465
That what you been doing?
1836
01:34:35.502 --> 01:34:37.299
You been carrying me?
1837
01:34:37.338 --> 01:34:40.671
We were on the streets
you weren't talking that shit.
1838
01:34:40.708 --> 01:34:42.801
When you was hungry...
1839
01:34:42.843 --> 01:34:45.710
you wasn't taking that shit,
was you?
1840
01:34:45.746 --> 01:34:47.577
What you been
doing push-ups now?
1841
01:34:47.614 --> 01:34:50.412
Know you coppin' a diesel now?
1842
01:34:50.451 --> 01:34:51.941
Don't sit down, Manny.
1843
01:34:54.655 --> 01:34:57.055
-I don't know--
-You gonna jump?
1844
01:34:57.091 --> 01:34:58.752
What's up? Do you remember me?
1845
01:34:58.792 --> 01:35:00.657
Do you remember me?
1846
01:35:00.694 --> 01:35:02.992
Do you?
1847
01:35:03.030 --> 01:35:04.827
You remember me?
1848
01:35:04.865 --> 01:35:07.925
That what I thought.
1849
01:35:07.968 --> 01:35:11.301
Just what I thought right there.
1850
01:35:11.338 --> 01:35:14.034
Go ahead, man.
1851
01:35:14.074 --> 01:35:16.201
Do what you want right now.
1852
01:35:16.243 --> 01:35:18.211
I'm handling mines, man.
1853
01:35:18.245 --> 01:35:19.803
Got a roof over my head.
1854
01:35:19.847 --> 01:35:22.372
Fuckin' with you,
we'd still be on the street.
1855
01:35:22.416 --> 01:35:23.713
You calling me a cling-on?
1856
01:35:23.751 --> 01:35:26.413
You been draggin' me?
I been dead weight to you?
1857
01:35:26.453 --> 01:35:27.579
Is that what I been?
1858
01:35:27.621 --> 01:35:30.112
New millennium, huh?
1859
01:35:30.157 --> 01:35:33.058
It's the same bullshit!
1860
01:35:33.093 --> 01:35:34.958
Just done over.
1861
01:35:34.995 --> 01:35:36.257
Same bullshit.
1862
01:35:42.736 --> 01:35:44.897
Yassa, l...
1863
01:35:44.938 --> 01:35:47.873
What you want me to do, massa?
1864
01:35:47.908 --> 01:35:50.206
Anything for you, sir.
1865
01:35:50.244 --> 01:35:52.678
I sang for you.
1866
01:35:52.713 --> 01:35:56.740
I tap-dance for you, massa.
1867
01:35:57.818 --> 01:36:00.810
I coon for you.
1868
01:36:00.854 --> 01:36:04.881
Anything just
to make you laugh, massa.
1869
01:36:05.993 --> 01:36:07.392
Yassa.
1870
01:36:25.913 --> 01:36:27.847
You should call him.
1871
01:36:27.881 --> 01:36:30.850
I'm not really thinking
about Womack right now...
1872
01:36:30.884 --> 01:36:32.249
you know what I mean?
1873
01:36:32.286 --> 01:36:33.719
What am I callin' him for?
1874
01:36:33.754 --> 01:36:35.813
He left.
He should be callin' me.
1875
01:36:35.856 --> 01:36:37.585
You gotta be the bigger person.
1876
01:36:37.624 --> 01:36:41.458
Don't take it on the ego thing,
'cause it's not about that.
1877
01:36:41.495 --> 01:36:43.190
He comes in...
1878
01:36:43.230 --> 01:36:46.688
All right, it may have been
a bad time or whatever...
1879
01:36:46.733 --> 01:36:49.201
but he came at me, like...
1880
01:36:49.236 --> 01:36:52.205
Iike he was my boss
or somethin' like...
1881
01:36:52.239 --> 01:36:54.264
"What am I doing talkin'
to the kids like that?"
1882
01:36:54.308 --> 01:36:57.744
Talkin' like that 'cause
they not gettin' the 'ography.
1883
01:36:57.778 --> 01:37:00.804
He just gotta go into some...
1884
01:37:00.848 --> 01:37:03.214
"Do you remember" daze...
1885
01:37:03.250 --> 01:37:07.812
jumpin' at me like
he gonna knock my head off...
1886
01:37:07.855 --> 01:37:10.153
beat me up in the studio.
1887
01:37:10.190 --> 01:37:11.657
I'm just like...
1888
01:37:11.692 --> 01:37:13.592
"No, I'm not feelin' you
right now, Womack.
1889
01:37:13.627 --> 01:37:15.026
"Straight up."
1890
01:37:15.062 --> 01:37:16.859
You want me to call him?
1891
01:37:16.897 --> 01:37:19.627
I'm not callin' no Womack.
1892
01:37:19.666 --> 01:37:21.065
Man, he calls me.
1893
01:37:21.335 --> 01:37:25.169
So how long have you
and Hambone been hanging out?
1894
01:37:25.205 --> 01:37:27.173
We're friends.
1895
01:37:27.207 --> 01:37:30.074
Really? That's not what
your brother seems to think.
1896
01:37:30.110 --> 01:37:32.078
He's playing
that big brother role...
1897
01:37:32.112 --> 01:37:33.306
so whatever.
1898
01:37:33.347 --> 01:37:36.942
So, are you getting "jiggy"
with him?
1899
01:37:36.984 --> 01:37:40.943
Pierre, I don't really think
that's any of your business.
1900
01:37:40.988 --> 01:37:43.821
So why am I here?
1901
01:37:43.857 --> 01:37:46.724
Well, Mr. Dunwitty and l...
1902
01:37:46.760 --> 01:37:49.524
feel that you're getting
too close to him...
1903
01:37:49.563 --> 01:37:52.498
and that his mind
is being messed up.
1904
01:37:52.533 --> 01:37:58.563
He's unfocused.
I demand you stop seeing him.
1905
01:37:58.605 --> 01:38:00.402
Work-related or otherwise?
1906
01:38:00.440 --> 01:38:03.238
Otherwise, and I trust
you know the difference.
1907
01:38:03.277 --> 01:38:07.373
If he asks me something,
I can't lie to him.
1908
01:38:07.414 --> 01:38:08.574
I have to tell him the truth.
1909
01:38:08.615 --> 01:38:11.709
Do you have to be
so damn forthright?
1910
01:38:11.752 --> 01:38:13.549
You should try it sometime.
1911
01:38:13.587 --> 01:38:15.452
When are you gonna
come into the light?
1912
01:38:15.489 --> 01:38:17.218
-The light?
-The light!
1913
01:38:17.257 --> 01:38:21.489
Don't you give me none of
this mumbo-jumbo bullshit...
1914
01:38:21.528 --> 01:38:24.895
because your hands
are just as bloody as mine.
1915
01:38:24.932 --> 01:38:28.060
I know where I made
my big mistake.
1916
01:38:28.101 --> 01:38:31.070
I should have never gotten
romantically involved...
1917
01:38:31.104 --> 01:38:34.369
with the help.
1918
01:38:35.642 --> 01:38:37.337
What did you just say?
1919
01:38:38.946 --> 01:38:42.882
Nigger, did you just
call me your help?
1920
01:38:44.651 --> 01:38:46.983
Is that what you think of me?
1921
01:38:47.020 --> 01:38:49.716
Let me tell you a thing
or two about help...
1922
01:38:49.756 --> 01:38:52.884
Peerless Dothan...
1923
01:38:52.926 --> 01:38:57.920
if you weren't so busy fucking
Maryann, Sue, and Beth...
1924
01:38:57.965 --> 01:39:00.991
maybe you would have a little
more stroke in your back.
1925
01:39:01.034 --> 01:39:03.195
Now help that shit out.
1926
01:39:03.236 --> 01:39:04.863
Get out.
1927
01:39:04.905 --> 01:39:08.534
Get the fuck out!
1928
01:39:13.480 --> 01:39:16.210
You know what?
1929
01:39:16.249 --> 01:39:19.707
You are fucked up.
1930
01:39:21.755 --> 01:39:23.689
Look at that shit.
1931
01:39:23.724 --> 01:39:26.192
That could help
your sorry ass one day.
1932
01:39:29.129 --> 01:39:32.360
I trust you can
help yourself out.
1933
01:39:34.935 --> 01:39:36.903
What you did was dead wrong.
1934
01:39:36.937 --> 01:39:39.201
Wrong. Capital "W" wrong.
1935
01:39:39.239 --> 01:39:41.503
Buddy boy, in this business...
1936
01:39:41.541 --> 01:39:44.271
if you do not produce,
you get fired.
1937
01:39:44.311 --> 01:39:45.869
It's that simple.
1938
01:39:45.912 --> 01:39:48.881
Sloan is the hardest
working person I ever met.
1939
01:39:48.915 --> 01:39:51.440
You're a bright young man.
1940
01:39:51.485 --> 01:39:53.817
How do you think she got
the gig in the first place?
1941
01:39:55.722 --> 01:39:58.850
I hate to burst your bubble,
Mantan the Marvelous...
1942
01:39:58.892 --> 01:40:01.952
but Sloan is an opportunist.
1943
01:40:01.995 --> 01:40:05.362
Naw, man.
You don't believe that.
1944
01:40:05.399 --> 01:40:06.889
I don't believe that.
1945
01:40:06.933 --> 01:40:08.423
Do I have
to spell it out for you?
1946
01:40:08.468 --> 01:40:13.030
In fact, why don't you
go ask her yourself?
1947
01:40:13.073 --> 01:40:16.270
Ask her. Say, "Sloan,
how did you get this gig?"
1948
01:40:16.309 --> 01:40:17.606
How did you get this gig?
1949
01:40:17.644 --> 01:40:21.603
I had an internship
and I worked like a dog...
1950
01:40:21.648 --> 01:40:23.741
to get in the position
that I'm in today.
1951
01:40:23.784 --> 01:40:25.411
You leaving something out?
1952
01:40:25.452 --> 01:40:27.977
Like I said...
1953
01:40:28.021 --> 01:40:30.046
I had an internship...
1954
01:40:30.090 --> 01:40:32.320
Dela liked how I worked...
1955
01:40:32.359 --> 01:40:34.589
and he hired me
as his assistant.
1956
01:40:34.628 --> 01:40:36.528
And?
1957
01:40:36.563 --> 01:40:39.691
And what?
1958
01:40:39.733 --> 01:40:42.133
Don't play me right now, Sloan.
1959
01:40:42.169 --> 01:40:47.436
Manray, if you have something
to ask me, ask it.
1960
01:40:47.474 --> 01:40:49.374
You just want me to say it?
1961
01:40:49.409 --> 01:40:51.274
Say what?
1962
01:40:53.947 --> 01:40:55.346
Did you ever sleep with Dela?
1963
01:40:55.382 --> 01:40:56.849
Yes, I did.
1964
01:40:56.883 --> 01:40:58.350
I knew it.
1965
01:40:58.385 --> 01:41:00.615
Listen, it doesn't
have anything to do...
1966
01:41:00.654 --> 01:41:02.588
with how I got my job.
1967
01:41:02.622 --> 01:41:05.318
It was a mistake, OK?
1968
01:41:05.358 --> 01:41:07.690
It happened
a very long time ago...
1969
01:41:07.728 --> 01:41:10.595
and it doesn't have anything
to do with me and you.
1970
01:41:12.432 --> 01:41:14.024
You know what?
1971
01:41:14.067 --> 01:41:16.194
I think you was probably
gonna play me...
1972
01:41:16.236 --> 01:41:19.399
try to use me
just like you used Dela...
1973
01:41:19.439 --> 01:41:22.431
to work your way to the top.
1974
01:41:22.476 --> 01:41:24.944
It's funny how people
in this business...
1975
01:41:24.978 --> 01:41:27.242
can just flip on you like lHOP.
1976
01:41:27.280 --> 01:41:29.214
I'm glad he fired your ass.
1977
01:41:33.286 --> 01:41:34.480
You...
1978
01:41:35.956 --> 01:41:37.924
You know what?
1979
01:41:37.958 --> 01:41:40.085
Let me tell you what's funny.
1980
01:41:40.127 --> 01:41:43.221
It's funny how a man
always has to perceive...
1981
01:41:43.263 --> 01:41:44.730
an attractive young lady...
1982
01:41:44.765 --> 01:41:46.733
as having to fuck
or suck somebody...
1983
01:41:46.767 --> 01:41:48.462
in order to get to the top.
1984
01:41:48.502 --> 01:41:50.402
It doesn't have anything
to do with the fact...
1985
01:41:50.437 --> 01:41:52.132
that I'm intelligent maybe?
1986
01:41:52.172 --> 01:41:55.107
Or have anything to do
with the fact that I have drive?
1987
01:41:55.142 --> 01:41:56.666
That doesn't matter!
1988
01:41:56.710 --> 01:41:57.938
No, I fucked him.
1989
01:41:57.978 --> 01:42:00.071
Yes, I fucked him.
How about that?
1990
01:42:03.517 --> 01:42:07.886
The question is--
Are you a puppet for Dela?
1991
01:42:07.921 --> 01:42:09.582
Don't try to change the subject.
1992
01:42:09.623 --> 01:42:10.920
I'm not changing anything.
1993
01:42:10.957 --> 01:42:12.322
I'm asking you a question.
1994
01:42:12.359 --> 01:42:14.884
Are you a puppet for Dela?
1995
01:42:14.928 --> 01:42:18.091
No. I'm lookin'
at Dela's puppet.
1996
01:42:18.131 --> 01:42:20.725
Then the real question is...
1997
01:42:22.536 --> 01:42:24.401
Whose puppet are you?
1998
01:42:32.712 --> 01:42:34.236
Hello, Mommy. How are you?
1999
01:42:34.281 --> 01:42:36.579
I'm just fine, honey.
2000
01:42:36.616 --> 01:42:40.643
I've just been here
reading about your show.
2001
01:42:40.687 --> 01:42:42.746
It's everywhere.
2002
01:42:42.789 --> 01:42:45.986
I only saw it once.
2003
01:42:46.026 --> 01:42:48.221
I thought you told me
there would be no buffoonery.
2004
01:42:48.261 --> 01:42:50.695
Are you going to attack me, too?
2005
01:42:50.730 --> 01:42:53.426
The show is a hit.
Why can't you be happy for me?
2006
01:42:53.466 --> 01:42:56.526
Of course I'm happy for you,
honey...
2007
01:42:56.570 --> 01:42:59.801
but a coon is a coon.
2008
01:43:02.342 --> 01:43:03.570
Peerless.
2009
01:43:03.610 --> 01:43:04.770
What?
2010
01:43:04.811 --> 01:43:08.338
You work so hard
for your success, honey.
2011
01:43:08.381 --> 01:43:11.441
Yes, I have--very hard.
2012
01:43:11.484 --> 01:43:12.781
Has my father called?
2013
01:43:14.020 --> 01:43:15.214
Not at all?
2014
01:43:15.255 --> 01:43:18.019
Well, honey,
you know your daddy.
2015
01:43:19.192 --> 01:43:21.422
If and when he does call...
2016
01:43:21.461 --> 01:43:24.919
please don't forget to ask him
if he's seen "Mantan."
2017
01:43:24.965 --> 01:43:26.626
I will, honey.
2018
01:43:29.936 --> 01:43:32.302
You disappoint me.
2019
01:43:32.339 --> 01:43:35.831
Yes, well, I have to go now.
2020
01:43:37.644 --> 01:43:39.635
What the hell
are you smiling at?
2021
01:43:52.292 --> 01:43:53.953
Jolly nigger bank.
2022
01:45:04.731 --> 01:45:06.961
When I thought or imagined...
2023
01:45:07.000 --> 01:45:09.935
that my favorite
jolly nigger bank--
2024
01:45:09.970 --> 01:45:14.202
an inanimate object,
a piece of cold cast iron...
2025
01:45:14.240 --> 01:45:18.199
was moving by itself,
I knew I was getting paranoid.
2026
01:45:18.244 --> 01:45:21.179
Did I really see what I saw?
2027
01:45:21.214 --> 01:45:24.149
Or was I hallucinating?
2028
01:45:24.484 --> 01:45:28.284
What's up, my millennium people?
2029
01:45:41.468 --> 01:45:43.561
My name is...
2030
01:45:45.338 --> 01:45:48.899
Honest Abe Honeycutt.
2031
01:45:53.446 --> 01:45:55.744
And I just have
one thing to say.
2032
01:45:55.782 --> 01:45:57.306
-What?
-What is it?
2033
01:46:04.391 --> 01:46:06.291
Sounds so good
I got to do it again.
2034
01:46:12.298 --> 01:46:14.562
And four score...
2035
01:46:14.601 --> 01:46:16.535
and seven years ago...
2036
01:46:18.405 --> 01:46:22.205
they was kicking
our black asses.
2037
01:46:22.242 --> 01:46:24.437
Boy, I mean they had a whip...
2038
01:46:24.477 --> 01:46:26.877
and they was kicking
our black asses...
2039
01:46:26.913 --> 01:46:28.608
from can't see in the morning...
2040
01:46:28.648 --> 01:46:33.415
until can't see at night.
2041
01:46:33.453 --> 01:46:41.553
But this is the new millennium!
2042
01:46:41.594 --> 01:46:45.325
How's everybody doing?
2043
01:46:45.365 --> 01:46:48.664
Grandma Bull, is you a nigger?
2044
01:46:48.701 --> 01:46:51.499
Yes, sirree, bob.
2045
01:46:51.538 --> 01:46:52.903
Darn tootin' I'm a nigger.
2046
01:46:55.475 --> 01:46:58.103
Give her applause.
Give her some applause.
2047
01:46:58.144 --> 01:47:00.476
I love you.
2048
01:47:00.513 --> 01:47:02.981
My boy, is you a nigger?
2049
01:47:03.016 --> 01:47:05.644
Honeycutt, you be a nigger.
2050
01:47:10.290 --> 01:47:11.780
Let's be niggers together!
2051
01:47:11.825 --> 01:47:13.224
Boom, boom, Honeycutt!
2052
01:47:13.259 --> 01:47:16.456
Boom, boom, Honeycutt!
2053
01:47:16.496 --> 01:47:17.861
Are you a nigger?
2054
01:47:17.897 --> 01:47:22.732
Yes. I'm from the Bronx, man.
2055
01:47:22.769 --> 01:47:26.261
Home of the world champions!
New York Yankees!
2056
01:47:31.845 --> 01:47:33.472
Where you from, my sister?
2057
01:47:33.513 --> 01:47:35.105
Puerto Rico.
2058
01:47:35.148 --> 01:47:37.878
That's right, baby,
so I'm not just a nigger.
2059
01:47:37.917 --> 01:47:40.886
I'm a nigger, OK?
2060
01:47:40.920 --> 01:47:42.854
Send something
to our other sisters out there.
2061
01:47:44.858 --> 01:47:48.157
If you not a nigger,
be a nigger!
2062
01:47:49.229 --> 01:47:50.389
Is you a nigger?
2063
01:47:50.430 --> 01:47:52.227
I'm a Sicilian nigger...
2064
01:47:52.265 --> 01:47:56.167
which means I'm more of a nigger
than any nigger in here.
2065
01:47:58.671 --> 01:48:00.969
Because you know what
they say about Sicilians.
2066
01:48:01.007 --> 01:48:03.441
We're darker than most niggers.
2067
01:48:03.476 --> 01:48:06.377
We're bigger than most niggers.
2068
01:48:06.412 --> 01:48:07.902
And we rap better
than most niggers.
2069
01:48:07.947 --> 01:48:11.508
I'm white, not black,
but not all the time
2070
01:48:11.551 --> 01:48:14.076
I'm in blackface,
and I'm feelin' fine
2071
01:48:14.120 --> 01:48:16.884
No matter what color,
no matter what race
2072
01:48:16.923 --> 01:48:19.949
You know you're cold chillin'
when you're in blackface
2073
01:48:24.797 --> 01:48:26.958
Can I find somebody?
Wait a minute.
2074
01:48:28.701 --> 01:48:30.862
Lord have mercy.
2075
01:48:30.904 --> 01:48:33.532
Is you a nigger?
2076
01:48:33.573 --> 01:48:36.736
Honeycutt, I don't know about
all the other people in here...
2077
01:48:36.776 --> 01:48:39.540
but I'm keepin' it real.
You know what I'm sayin'?
2078
01:48:39.579 --> 01:48:42.173
I'm keepin' it real
2079
01:48:42.215 --> 01:48:43.512
I got one more thing to say.
2080
01:48:43.550 --> 01:48:47.384
I am a really real negress.
Thank you.
2081
01:48:47.420 --> 01:48:49.354
A real negress!
2082
01:48:49.389 --> 01:48:51.220
A negress!
2083
01:48:54.861 --> 01:48:56.556
Y'all ain't going
to waste no time, huh?
2084
01:48:56.596 --> 01:48:58.257
Him!
2085
01:48:58.298 --> 01:48:59.629
You!
2086
01:48:59.666 --> 01:49:00.758
You!
2087
01:49:04.704 --> 01:49:09.903
We are all God's niggers!
2088
01:49:09.943 --> 01:49:14.573
Even the lost souls who
don't know that they niggers.
2089
01:49:14.614 --> 01:49:16.878
They niggers, too.
2090
01:49:16.916 --> 01:49:20.647
-Do you know why?
-Why?
2091
01:49:20.687 --> 01:49:23.656
'Cause niggers
is a beautiful thing.
2092
01:49:23.690 --> 01:49:28.650
Niggers is a beautiful thing!
2093
01:49:33.466 --> 01:49:36.060
Sorry I'm late.
Tough time catching a cab.
2094
01:49:36.102 --> 01:49:37.797
Perhaps they thought
you were Danny Glover.
2095
01:49:42.242 --> 01:49:43.834
-Delacroix here.
-This is Bunning.
2096
01:49:43.876 --> 01:49:47.039
I have Mantan up there,
and he's not getting dressed...
2097
01:49:47.080 --> 01:49:49.412
and he's not in makeup.
What am I supposed to do?
2098
01:49:49.449 --> 01:49:51.917
-He's not in blackface.
-I'll be right there.
2099
01:49:51.951 --> 01:49:53.646
You want to check
on the little delay?
2100
01:49:53.686 --> 01:49:55.449
That's where I'm going.
2101
01:49:55.488 --> 01:49:56.614
I'm just keepin' it real.
2102
01:49:56.689 --> 01:49:58.247
Where is he?
2103
01:50:03.496 --> 01:50:06.659
Mantan, what's going on here?
We have a show to tape.
2104
01:50:06.699 --> 01:50:09.293
My name is Manray,
God damn it.
2105
01:50:09.335 --> 01:50:13.328
God damn it, Manray,
we've got a show to tape.
2106
01:50:13.373 --> 01:50:14.738
Please.
2107
01:50:14.774 --> 01:50:18.471
Go to your room, put on
your costume, and blacken up.
2108
01:50:18.511 --> 01:50:21.480
Look, man,
I'm not playing myself no more.
2109
01:50:21.514 --> 01:50:23.277
Come again?
2110
01:50:23.316 --> 01:50:24.476
I'm done, man.
2111
01:50:24.517 --> 01:50:27.509
This whole blackface buck shit,
I'm done, man.
2112
01:50:27.553 --> 01:50:29.282
I know what you're
going through right now.
2113
01:50:29.322 --> 01:50:32.223
I mean, first,
Womack and then Sloan.
2114
01:50:32.258 --> 01:50:34.055
Oh, my God.
It broke my heart...
2115
01:50:34.093 --> 01:50:36.561
to have to be the one
to pull your coattails...
2116
01:50:36.596 --> 01:50:38.996
as to her sexual exploits.
2117
01:50:39.032 --> 01:50:43.969
However,
we must remain professional.
2118
01:50:44.003 --> 01:50:46.597
The show must go on.
2119
01:50:46.639 --> 01:50:48.698
I will always be professional...
2120
01:50:48.741 --> 01:50:50.231
but as far
as this buck dancing...
2121
01:50:50.276 --> 01:50:52.141
this blackface shit,
I'm not doing it.
2122
01:50:52.178 --> 01:50:53.907
No costume, no blackface?
2123
01:50:53.946 --> 01:50:55.777
Hell, no blackface.
2124
01:50:57.317 --> 01:50:59.717
Fine.
2125
01:50:59.752 --> 01:51:02.050
It's going to be your funeral.
2126
01:51:02.088 --> 01:51:04.283
We want Mantan!
2127
01:51:10.196 --> 01:51:13.256
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you very much.
2128
01:51:13.299 --> 01:51:15.767
We apologize for the holdup.
2129
01:51:15.802 --> 01:51:18.396
So, without any further delay,
ladies and gentlemen...
2130
01:51:18.438 --> 01:51:23.000
give it up for Mantan!
2131
01:51:55.074 --> 01:51:56.837
What's going on?
2132
01:51:56.876 --> 01:51:58.070
What do you mean,
you don't know?
2133
01:52:00.613 --> 01:52:02.137
Cousins...
2134
01:52:03.716 --> 01:52:07.550
I want you all
to go to your windows.
2135
01:52:07.587 --> 01:52:09.817
Go to your windows and yell out.
2136
01:52:09.856 --> 01:52:13.952
Scream with all the life
that you can muster up...
2137
01:52:13.993 --> 01:52:16.791
inside your bruised...
2138
01:52:16.829 --> 01:52:20.424
assaulted,
and battered bodies.
2139
01:52:20.466 --> 01:52:24.732
I am sick and tired
of being a nigger...
2140
01:52:24.771 --> 01:52:29.174
and I am not going
to take it anymore!
2141
01:52:29.208 --> 01:52:30.937
Sick and tired
of being a nigger?
2142
01:52:30.977 --> 01:52:32.410
What?
2143
01:52:38.451 --> 01:52:41.045
I don't think he's getting up.
2144
01:52:45.958 --> 01:52:48.051
-What is this?
-lt must be a dance.
2145
01:52:51.063 --> 01:52:52.792
What the fuck is going on here?
2146
01:52:55.635 --> 01:52:57.865
Stop the tape!
2147
01:52:57.904 --> 01:52:59.667
Stop the goddamn tape!
2148
01:52:59.705 --> 01:53:01.070
Stop! Cut it!
2149
01:53:02.074 --> 01:53:04.133
Cut! Cut!
2150
01:53:04.177 --> 01:53:06.702
What are you doing?
2151
01:53:06.746 --> 01:53:07.974
Stop dancing!
2152
01:53:08.014 --> 01:53:09.538
Get him out of the building!
2153
01:53:09.582 --> 01:53:11.812
-Stop dancing!
-Get off me!
2154
01:53:11.851 --> 01:53:13.045
Stop dancing!
2155
01:53:13.085 --> 01:53:14.712
Yo, what you doing?
2156
01:53:14.754 --> 01:53:16.847
We apologize,
ladies and gentlemen.
2157
01:53:16.889 --> 01:53:19.824
Just relax. We'll be right back
with a good show.
2158
01:53:19.859 --> 01:53:21.656
Hold that.
2159
01:53:21.694 --> 01:53:24.390
Get him out of here!
Get him out.
2160
01:53:24.430 --> 01:53:25.727
Ladies and gentlemen...
2161
01:53:25.765 --> 01:53:28.393
Mantan has come down
with a case of coon-itis.
2162
01:53:28.434 --> 01:53:31.232
We'll take him out back
and whip it right out of him.
2163
01:53:31.270 --> 01:53:34.137
I will have him out here even
if I have to cut off a foot.
2164
01:53:34.173 --> 01:53:36.664
He'll dance like...
2165
01:53:36.709 --> 01:53:38.336
You just relax.
2166
01:53:38.377 --> 01:53:39.537
Get him out.
2167
01:53:39.579 --> 01:53:41.706
Come on, man! I wasn't
finished doing my dancing!
2168
01:53:41.747 --> 01:53:43.237
But you are finished.
You're done.
2169
01:53:43.282 --> 01:53:45.113
Niggers like you
are a dime-a-dozen.
2170
01:53:45.151 --> 01:53:46.311
You think you're special?
2171
01:53:46.352 --> 01:53:48.115
I'm going to slide Honeycutt
right into your spot...
2172
01:53:48.154 --> 01:53:49.519
you fake-ass tap dance kid.
2173
01:53:49.555 --> 01:53:51.489
Get him out of the building.
2174
01:53:51.524 --> 01:53:52.855
Ungrateful mother...
2175
01:53:52.892 --> 01:53:54.086
-Let's go, Honeycutt.
-Yes, sir.
2176
01:53:54.126 --> 01:53:55.821
I'll deal with you next.
2177
01:53:58.297 --> 01:54:00.527
Don't ever come back no more!
2178
01:54:00.566 --> 01:54:02.761
This is bullshit.
2179
01:54:12.812 --> 01:54:14.211
You a dead motherfucker.
2180
01:54:14.247 --> 01:54:15.976
What did I do, man?
2181
01:54:16.015 --> 01:54:18.381
The cryin' motherfucker
wanna know what he did.
2182
01:54:18.417 --> 01:54:19.884
That's your goddamn problem.
2183
01:54:19.919 --> 01:54:22.046
You know exactly
what the fuck you did.
2184
01:54:22.088 --> 01:54:25.615
Negro, you will be executed.
2185
01:54:25.658 --> 01:54:26.852
For what?
2186
01:54:26.893 --> 01:54:28.827
For singing and dancing?
2187
01:54:28.861 --> 01:54:30.226
I was just hoofin', man.
2188
01:54:30.263 --> 01:54:31.662
Just hoofin', man.
2189
01:54:31.697 --> 01:54:33.722
You're going to be done
in front of the whole world.
2190
01:54:33.766 --> 01:54:35.666
Telemundo.
2191
01:54:35.701 --> 01:54:38.602
The whole world
is going to be watching this.
2192
01:54:38.638 --> 01:54:42.039
The Mau Maus had come up with
a brilliant, sadistic plan...
2193
01:54:42.074 --> 01:54:44.975
to broadcast
Mantan's execution live.
2194
01:54:45.011 --> 01:54:47.878
No way we gonna be found out.
You ain't even here.
2195
01:54:47.914 --> 01:54:49.939
Motherfucker,
you in cyberspace, man.
2196
01:54:49.982 --> 01:54:52.348
This is gonna really
boost your ratings.
2197
01:54:52.385 --> 01:54:55.354
Beat the mass, Mau Maus
be about land and freedom
2198
01:54:55.388 --> 01:54:56.753
Reparation and apologies
2199
01:54:56.789 --> 01:54:58.689
For African to America odysseys
2200
01:54:58.724 --> 01:55:01.284
Guerrilla-type tactics
on them socialistic fallacies
2201
01:55:01.327 --> 01:55:02.453
It be about the devastation
2202
01:55:02.495 --> 01:55:04.224
Of the social Darwinistic
thought
2203
01:55:04.263 --> 01:55:05.821
Keep a brown man down, sport
2204
01:55:05.865 --> 01:55:08.356
They wanna keep an eye
on the fetch and set nigger
2205
01:55:08.401 --> 01:55:09.766
The way fresh, and I'll put it
2206
01:55:09.802 --> 01:55:11.429
They lucky
I ain't red wretched yet
2207
01:55:11.470 --> 01:55:14.371
Yo, you fucked up
in the game now
2208
01:55:14.407 --> 01:55:17.501
The Mau Maus sent anonymous
e-mail proclamations...
2209
01:55:17.543 --> 01:55:23.038
to the web sites
of CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS.
2210
01:55:23.082 --> 01:55:26.677
It was an invite
to witness the dance of death--
2211
01:55:26.719 --> 01:55:29.688
Ten p.m. prime time,
tomorrow night.
2212
01:55:29.722 --> 01:55:31.986
Bow down, there's four lives
in the ground now
2213
01:55:32.024 --> 01:55:33.286
Shake 'em down
2214
01:55:33.326 --> 01:55:34.793
Black monk like that Thelonious
2215
01:55:34.827 --> 01:55:36.556
The government
got the black phobia
2216
01:55:36.596 --> 01:55:39.531
Hello.
My name is Thomas Dunwitty.
2217
01:55:39.565 --> 01:55:41.055
I'm the senior V.P...
2218
01:55:41.100 --> 01:55:44.297
of the entertainment division
here at CNS.
2219
01:55:44.337 --> 01:55:47.033
I come to you
with a heavy heart.
2220
01:55:47.073 --> 01:55:49.234
This abduction is a cowardly...
2221
01:55:49.275 --> 01:55:52.073
vile, sinful,
and dastardly act...
2222
01:55:52.111 --> 01:55:55.512
and I promise that these creeps
will be prosecuted...
2223
01:55:55.548 --> 01:55:58.073
to the fullest extent
of the law.
2224
01:55:58.117 --> 01:56:03.054
This is a total, complete attack
on our American way of life.
2225
01:56:03.089 --> 01:56:04.556
We here at CNS...
2226
01:56:04.590 --> 01:56:07.582
are offering
a $1 million cash reward...
2227
01:56:07.627 --> 01:56:11.119
for any information that leads
to the safe return home...
2228
01:56:11.163 --> 01:56:14.564
of our dear friend
and homey Mantan.
2229
01:56:14.600 --> 01:56:17.535
Mantan,
our prayers are with you...
2230
01:56:17.570 --> 01:56:20.300
and may God bless America.
2231
01:56:24.477 --> 01:56:26.138
It was 10:00...
2232
01:56:26.178 --> 01:56:29.147
and the Dance of Death
was about to commence.
2233
01:56:29.181 --> 01:56:32.173
Since a lot of people
still don't have computers...
2234
01:56:32.218 --> 01:56:35.949
the networks sought a
court order to carry it live...
2235
01:56:35.988 --> 01:56:38.388
taking it off the feed.
2236
01:56:38.424 --> 01:56:39.823
It was granted.
2237
01:56:39.859 --> 01:56:41.451
A live snuff broadcast...
2238
01:56:41.494 --> 01:56:44.122
right into the comfort
of your living room.
2239
01:56:44.163 --> 01:56:47.394
Yo, we're live in five, four...
2240
01:56:47.433 --> 01:56:49.401
three, two...
2241
01:56:49.435 --> 01:56:53.269
We are now live in cyberspace.
2242
01:56:53.305 --> 01:56:56.570
Whereas Mantan is a Tom.
2243
01:56:56.609 --> 01:57:00.272
Whereas Mantan is a disgrace.
2244
01:57:00.312 --> 01:57:04.476
Whereas Mantan
is a head-scratchin'...
2245
01:57:04.517 --> 01:57:09.147
foot-shufflin' Negro!
2246
01:57:09.188 --> 01:57:10.621
Let me go, man!
2247
01:57:10.656 --> 01:57:12.817
Be strong, boy. Be strong.
2248
01:57:12.858 --> 01:57:16.385
...Dancing fool
is condemned to death.
2249
01:57:16.429 --> 01:57:18.795
I's a good Negro.
2250
01:57:18.831 --> 01:57:20.389
See that bitch's dancing feet?
2251
01:57:20.433 --> 01:57:22.264
Let's show you
some real educated feets.
2252
01:57:22.301 --> 01:57:25.566
Show us some of them
fancy moves.
2253
01:57:25.604 --> 01:57:28.004
Get your ass up.
Get that nigger up.
2254
01:57:28.040 --> 01:57:30.565
Let him do some dancing for us.
2255
01:57:30.609 --> 01:57:32.270
Get up on your feet, man.
2256
01:57:32.311 --> 01:57:35.576
Show us them feet.
Don't be ashamed.
2257
01:57:35.614 --> 01:57:39.141
-Dance for us!
-Showtime!
2258
01:58:41.547 --> 01:58:43.640
You fucked up in the game now.
2259
01:59:18.951 --> 01:59:20.942
Stop it! Stop it!
2260
01:59:20.986 --> 01:59:22.317
Stop it!
2261
01:59:22.354 --> 01:59:24.720
Stop it, I say!
2262
01:59:26.158 --> 01:59:30.891
Leave me alone!
2263
01:59:30.930 --> 01:59:31.919
Spear chuckers!
2264
01:59:32.932 --> 01:59:35.457
Get rid of these porch monkeys!
2265
01:59:35.501 --> 01:59:37.628
Jungle bunny!
2266
01:59:41.307 --> 01:59:42.797
Yo, dawg.
2267
01:59:42.842 --> 01:59:45.709
Yo, I'm fucked up, dawg.
2268
01:59:45.744 --> 01:59:48.110
Yo, you need a light?
2269
01:59:48.147 --> 01:59:50.240
Yo, man, I got some fire.
2270
01:59:53.085 --> 01:59:55.485
Yo, who got the fire?
2271
01:59:55.521 --> 01:59:57.421
Who got the flame?
2272
01:59:57.456 --> 02:00:00.152
Shit. Hey!
2273
02:00:08.934 --> 02:00:11.732
Why didn't you kill me?
2274
02:00:11.770 --> 02:00:13.135
I'm black!
2275
02:00:13.172 --> 02:00:14.298
Why didn't you kill me?
2276
02:00:14.340 --> 02:00:16.900
I'm black! I'm black!
2277
02:00:16.942 --> 02:00:20.036
All it takes is
one fucking drop of black blood!
2278
02:00:20.079 --> 02:00:21.808
Everyone thinks he's black!
2279
02:00:21.847 --> 02:00:24.042
Mau Maus!
2280
02:00:24.083 --> 02:00:26.051
You should've killed me.
2281
02:00:26.085 --> 02:00:29.748
You should've fucking killed me!
2282
02:00:29.788 --> 02:00:33.485
All it takes is one fucking drop
of black blood, motherfucker!
2283
02:00:33.525 --> 02:00:36.722
You're black!
2284
02:00:36.762 --> 02:00:38.423
Get the fuck off me!
2285
02:01:33.819 --> 02:01:35.582
Hi, Peerless.
2286
02:01:38.891 --> 02:01:41.985
You done fucked up now.
2287
02:01:42.027 --> 02:01:47.021
You didn't think
I had one of these, did you?
2288
02:01:49.768 --> 02:01:51.099
My brother gave me this.
2289
02:01:55.341 --> 02:01:57.809
Oh, I see..
2290
02:01:57.843 --> 02:02:00.311
you brought my tape.
2291
02:02:00.346 --> 02:02:03.281
Get up and put it in.
2292
02:02:05.784 --> 02:02:08.480
Get up and put it in!
2293
02:02:20.232 --> 02:02:25.101
That's right.
You'll listen to me tonight.
2294
02:02:25.137 --> 02:02:27.571
All this time, you didn't listen
to what I had to say...
2295
02:02:27.606 --> 02:02:29.597
but you going to listen
to me tonight.
2296
02:02:29.641 --> 02:02:33.304
This is "Listen to Sloan Day."
2297
02:02:43.355 --> 02:02:46.085
It's my night.
2298
02:02:46.125 --> 02:02:48.491
I want you
to look at this shit.
2299
02:02:48.527 --> 02:02:53.726
Look to what you contributed to.
2300
02:02:53.766 --> 02:02:57.532
Because of you,
my brother's dead.
2301
02:02:57.569 --> 02:03:00.561
Manray. You done
fucked up everything!
2302
02:03:05.177 --> 02:03:08.340
-Think they're cannibals?
-You see this shit?
2303
02:03:08.380 --> 02:03:10.473
They wouldn't dare do that
to white people.
2304
02:03:10.516 --> 02:03:12.484
Maybe they want
some dark meat.
2305
02:03:12.518 --> 02:03:15.681
What do you have to say
for yourself?
2306
02:03:22.861 --> 02:03:25.329
What do you have to say
for yourself?
2307
02:03:27.066 --> 02:03:29.057
Sloan, give me the gun.
2308
02:03:29.101 --> 02:03:31.535
-Don't.
-Please.
2309
02:03:32.738 --> 02:03:35.866
Don't, Peerless.
Don't make me. No.
2310
02:03:35.908 --> 02:03:37.603
Don't come over here.
2311
02:03:50.823 --> 02:03:52.916
Peerless...
2312
02:03:52.958 --> 02:03:55.256
I'm sorry.
2313
02:03:55.294 --> 02:03:56.727
It's OK.
2314
02:03:56.762 --> 02:04:01.324
You never listened to me.
You made me do that.
2315
02:04:05.437 --> 02:04:07.371
As I bled to death...
2316
02:04:07.406 --> 02:04:10.739
as my very life
oozed out of me...
2317
02:04:10.776 --> 02:04:12.437
all I could think of
was something...
2318
02:04:12.478 --> 02:04:16.812
the great Negro
James Baldwin had written.
2319
02:04:16.849 --> 02:04:20.910
"People pay for what they do,
and still more...
2320
02:04:20.953 --> 02:04:24.616
"for what they have allowed
themselves to become...
2321
02:04:24.656 --> 02:04:29.753
"and they pay for it very simply
by the lives they lead."
2322
02:04:29.795 --> 02:04:32.787
Now it was time for me
to buy the farm...
2323
02:04:32.831 --> 02:04:34.822
to meet my maker.
2324
02:04:34.867 --> 02:04:37.097
Good-bye, cousins.
2325
02:04:37.136 --> 02:04:40.697
Please tune in next week
for the best of...
2326
02:04:40.739 --> 02:04:47.144
"Mantan: The New Millennium
Minstrel show."
2327
02:04:47.179 --> 02:04:48.771
Gonna to put your shoes on?
2328
02:04:48.814 --> 02:04:53.012
No, sir. Savin' them
in case my feet wear out.
2329
02:04:53.051 --> 02:04:55.042
Well, Mr. Bones,
how are you this evening?
2330
02:04:55.087 --> 02:04:56.884
Me?
2331
02:04:56.922 --> 02:04:59.413
I's the personification
of health, Mr. Christie.
2332
02:04:59.458 --> 02:05:03.121
Good. Who was that lady
I saw you with this afternoon?
2333
02:05:03.162 --> 02:05:06.654
That was no lady.
That was my wife.
2334
02:05:30.022 --> 02:05:33.116
I'll bust your head.
2335
02:05:33.158 --> 02:05:35.456
Good gracious me.
2336
02:05:56.949 --> 02:05:58.473
Who is that?
2337
02:06:11.363 --> 02:06:13.194
What gives?
2338
02:06:14.299 --> 02:06:17.291
What's the matter with you, boy?
2339
02:06:22.741 --> 02:06:29.169
My mam...Mammy.
2340
02:06:29.214 --> 02:06:31.375
-What was that?
-How'd I know?
2341
02:06:31.416 --> 02:06:33.714
Are you ready, Liza?
2342
02:06:33.752 --> 02:06:35.913
I's ready, Uncle Tom.
2343
02:06:35.954 --> 02:06:38.320
Is you ready, Simon Legree?
2344
02:06:38.357 --> 02:06:40.154
I'm always ready.
2345
02:06:49.801 --> 02:06:52.793
I broke in as a bootblack,
you know.
2346
02:06:52.838 --> 02:06:53.827
Here we go.
2347
02:06:57.242 --> 02:06:58.766
For a month and a half,
I've been dreaming...
2348
02:06:58.810 --> 02:07:01.244
how pretty
I was going to look tonight.
2349
02:07:01.280 --> 02:07:04.738
Here's my punishment
for thinking so well of myself.
2350
02:07:04.783 --> 02:07:08.310
This is tough
to put on and take off.
2351
02:07:10.756 --> 02:07:12.053
You know, you're lucky.
2352
02:07:45.057 --> 02:07:46.524
Cut them monkeyshines.
2353
02:07:46.558 --> 02:07:48.788
Chicken house?
What am I waiting for?
2354
02:07:48.827 --> 02:07:50.294
I don't know.
2355
02:07:50.329 --> 02:07:52.229
Me, either. Tally ho.
2356
02:07:55.734 --> 02:07:56.826
Yes, sir.
2357
02:07:56.868 --> 02:07:58.460
Yes, sir, mister.
2358
02:07:58.503 --> 02:07:59.470
Yes, sir.
2359
02:07:59.504 --> 02:08:02.200
-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, Miss Bellmer.
2360
02:08:02.240 --> 02:08:04.037
Yes, Miss Maggie.
2361
02:08:04.076 --> 02:08:09.139
Brothers, it's certainly going
to be a lesson to me.
2362
02:08:09.181 --> 02:08:13.481
Maybe Baldwin was right,
maybe he was wrong...
2363
02:08:13.518 --> 02:08:17.386
but as my father
often told me...
2364
02:08:17.422 --> 02:08:21.085
"Always keep 'em laughing."
