Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,703 --> 00:00:06,054
- What about one of them?
- No.
2
00:00:07,094 --> 00:00:08,960
- What about Rhonda?
- Maybe.
3
00:00:10,397 --> 00:00:12,264
What are you losers looking at?
4
00:00:13,634 --> 00:00:14,666
Never mind.
5
00:00:15,636 --> 00:00:16,635
Oh.
6
00:00:18,572 --> 00:00:20,272
Hey, Rainbow.
7
00:00:20,374 --> 00:00:21,873
I love your sweater.
8
00:00:21,975 --> 00:00:23,175
Thank you!
9
00:00:23,243 --> 00:00:24,810
My Aunt Dee-Dee found it at her job.
10
00:00:24,912 --> 00:00:26,478
She always says, "You wouldn't believe
11
00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:28,347
how many people
leave perfectly good clothes
12
00:00:28,449 --> 00:00:30,048
just lying around in their suitcases."
13
00:00:30,117 --> 00:00:33,018
Cool. So, the Halloween
costume contest is coming up.
14
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,753
And we win every year.
15
00:00:34,855 --> 00:00:36,555
Every year.
16
00:00:36,657 --> 00:00:38,290
And this year, we're going
as "The Facts of Life,"
17
00:00:38,392 --> 00:00:39,624
and we want you to be Tootie.
18
00:00:40,828 --> 00:00:43,562
I totally know who that is,
and I'm super excited about it.
19
00:00:44,935 --> 00:00:48,100
"The Facts of Life" was
a long-running 1980s TV show
20
00:00:48,168 --> 00:00:50,502
starring three white girls
and one black girl.
21
00:00:50,571 --> 00:00:53,538
Guess which one was Tootie.
22
00:00:53,607 --> 00:00:57,609
These days, we as a society
strive to be more inclusive.
23
00:00:57,711 --> 00:00:59,811
From our workplaces to the media
24
00:00:59,913 --> 00:01:01,413
to our friendship groups,
25
00:01:01,515 --> 00:01:03,348
there's a lot more diversity.
26
00:01:03,450 --> 00:01:06,518
But what passed for diversity in 1985
27
00:01:06,620 --> 00:01:08,687
today, we'd call tokenism.
28
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:10,889
Tokenism is a way for people to say,
29
00:01:10,991 --> 00:01:12,991
"Hey, look how diverse we are,"
30
00:01:13,060 --> 00:01:14,726
without really changing anything.
31
00:01:17,097 --> 00:01:18,230
So, you in?
32
00:01:18,332 --> 00:01:20,966
Dr. Rainbow Johnson
knows to be skeptical
33
00:01:21,068 --> 00:01:23,869
when three white girls
approach me in this formation.
34
00:01:25,606 --> 00:01:26,772
Yes! Definitely!
35
00:01:28,008 --> 00:01:30,275

So, you're not gonna use any seasoning?
56
00:02:16,857 --> 00:02:18,089
Just heat and fish?
57
00:02:18,192 --> 00:02:19,591
A true chef knows
58
00:02:19,693 --> 00:02:22,160
that the heat brings out
the natural flavors.
59
00:02:22,262 --> 00:02:24,129
So, you're making "hot fish"?
60
00:02:24,231 --> 00:02:26,231
This is why I eat before I come.
61
00:02:26,333 --> 00:02:27,265
Hey, guys.
62
00:02:27,367 --> 00:02:28,900
Our school is having a costume contest
63
00:02:29,002 --> 00:02:30,168
on Thursday for Halloween.
64
00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:32,671
A costume contest? Very cool.
65
00:02:32,773 --> 00:02:35,273
Man, being a kid at Halloween.
66
00:02:35,375 --> 00:02:36,475
It doesn't get any better than that.
67
00:02:36,577 --> 00:02:37,843
So you liked Halloween as a kid?
68
00:02:37,945 --> 00:02:38,910
Did he.
69
00:02:40,581 --> 00:02:42,614
I love Halloween!
70
00:02:44,284 --> 00:02:46,785
And that was mid-August.
71
00:02:46,887 --> 00:02:48,920
Hey, is it all right if I go watch TV?
72
00:02:49,022 --> 00:02:50,021
The popular girls at school
73
00:02:50,123 --> 00:02:51,523
asked me to be in their costume group,
74
00:02:51,625 --> 00:02:52,958
and we're doing "The Facts of Life."
75
00:02:53,060 --> 00:02:54,659
Congratulations. You made it.
76
00:02:54,761 --> 00:02:57,407
Those popular girls
just made you a token.
77
00:02:57,454 --> 00:02:58,797
N-N-N-N-No.
78
00:02:58,899 --> 00:03:00,866
Rainbow is living in the real world now.
79
00:03:00,968 --> 00:03:02,601
This is stuff she needs to know.
80
00:03:02,694 --> 00:03:04,358
But you don't know anything
about those girls.
81
00:03:04,383 --> 00:03:05,403
Are the girls white?
82
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,772
And they asked you to play Tootie?
83
00:03:08,809 --> 00:03:10,008
Ta-da! Token!
84
00:03:10,110 --> 00:03:11,076
What's a token?
85
00:03:11,178 --> 00:03:12,844
Oh, that's when a white person hires you
86
00:03:12,946 --> 00:03:14,880
or makes friends with you
because you're black.
87
00:03:14,982 --> 00:03:16,581
So, should I not do the contest?
88
00:03:16,683 --> 00:03:18,750
I mean, is being a token a bad thing?
89
00:03:18,852 --> 00:03:19,918
Yeah, it's a bad thing!
90
00:03:20,020 --> 00:03:22,087
Those girls only want
to hang out with you
91
00:03:22,189 --> 00:03:23,755
because they think you're safe.
92
00:03:23,857 --> 00:03:25,190
Like a diet black.
93
00:03:25,292 --> 00:03:27,392
No. Rainbow, don't listen to her.
94
00:03:27,494 --> 00:03:30,395
I'm sure those girls chose you
because they like you.
95
00:03:30,497 --> 00:03:32,674
Don't let anyone tell you
who you can be friends with.
96
00:03:32,758 --> 00:03:34,182
Exactly. People are people.
97
00:03:34,251 --> 00:03:35,457
And if you like those girls,
98
00:03:35,518 --> 00:03:37,035
you should do the contest with them.
99
00:03:37,137 --> 00:03:38,169
Great.
100
00:03:38,272 --> 00:03:39,504
Can I go watch television?
101
00:03:39,606 --> 00:03:40,972
- Yes.
- Don't forget dinner.
102
00:03:41,074 --> 00:03:44,643
Mm. Don't want to miss out
on that hot fish.
103
00:03:49,016 --> 00:03:50,549
As a preteen, I already worried
104
00:03:50,651 --> 00:03:53,118
about boys, rumors, and an oily T-zone.
105
00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:54,853
And now, on top of all that,
106
00:03:54,955 --> 00:03:57,923
I had to wonder whether or not
I was being used as a token.
107
00:04:00,027 --> 00:04:01,726
Do you realize what this means?
108
00:04:01,828 --> 00:04:03,929
It means your life is going to be great.
109
00:04:04,031 --> 00:04:06,064
Pretty soon, you're gonna be hanging out
110
00:04:06,166 --> 00:04:07,732
with Rebecca and her friends,
111
00:04:07,834 --> 00:04:09,868
doing all the things popular girls do...
112
00:04:09,970 --> 00:04:12,070
using Nair, shoplifting lip gloss.
113
00:04:12,172 --> 00:04:14,239
I don't know if I want to do this.
114
00:04:14,341 --> 00:04:16,942
What are you talking about?
115
00:04:18,312 --> 00:04:20,879
I don't want these girls
to just see me for my color.
116
00:04:20,981 --> 00:04:22,581
I want them to see me for who I am.
117
00:04:22,683 --> 00:04:24,249
They will, once you put on a costume
118
00:04:24,351 --> 00:04:25,750
and pretend to be someone else.
119
00:04:25,852 --> 00:04:28,653
Why does everything
have to be so complicated?
120
00:04:28,755 --> 00:04:31,456
I mean, all these stupid words...
121
00:04:31,558 --> 00:04:34,793
"popular," "weird," "black,"
"white," "token," "safe."
122
00:04:34,895 --> 00:04:36,494
I wish they'd just go away.
123
00:04:36,597 --> 00:04:38,930
And I wish I could digest cheese.
124
00:04:39,032 --> 00:04:40,966
But what if there was a way where...
125
00:04:41,034 --> 00:04:42,968
everyone could just be seen
for who they are?
126
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:45,704
Oh, no. You're getting
your "change the world" look.
127
00:04:45,772 --> 00:04:48,239
Do you know why white people and black
people think they're different?
128
00:04:48,342 --> 00:04:49,441
Yep. Here we go.
129
00:04:49,509 --> 00:04:51,610
Because they never bother
to get to know each other.
130
00:04:51,712 --> 00:04:53,812
But if these girls
only see me as a token,
131
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,213
I can still use that to teach them
132
00:04:55,315 --> 00:04:57,449
that white people
and black people are the same.
133
00:04:58,885 --> 00:05:00,752
But we still have air left.
134
00:05:00,854 --> 00:05:02,988
All right, guys, it's busy season.
135
00:05:03,090 --> 00:05:05,457
As you know, when it comes
to personal injury,
136
00:05:05,559 --> 00:05:07,792
Halloween is our Christmas.
137
00:05:07,861 --> 00:05:09,594
And if it's anything like last year,
138
00:05:09,696 --> 00:05:11,429
I'll make enough to leave my family.
139
00:05:11,531 --> 00:05:12,831
They'll be better off.
140
00:05:12,933 --> 00:05:16,134
Now, what did you mean by
"Halloween is our Christmas"?
141
00:05:16,203 --> 00:05:18,349
Oh, well, things have changed big time
142
00:05:18,419 --> 00:05:20,083
since you were off living in the woods,
143
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:21,206
bathing in the crick.
144
00:05:21,274 --> 00:05:24,453
Now Halloween's all about
razor blades in apples,
145
00:05:24,478 --> 00:05:26,211
razor blades in candy bars,
146
00:05:26,313 --> 00:05:28,880
teeny, tiny razor blades in bubble gum.
147
00:05:28,982 --> 00:05:31,549
Oh, I get it.
A little locker-room hazing.
148
00:05:31,652 --> 00:05:33,051
Scare the working mom.
149
00:05:33,153 --> 00:05:34,452
No, no, no, no. Not at all.
150
00:05:34,554 --> 00:05:36,755
Halloween is truly dangerous.
151
00:05:36,857 --> 00:05:39,057
Think about it... dark costumes,
152
00:05:39,159 --> 00:05:41,544
masks with tiny, little eyeholes.
153
00:05:41,607 --> 00:05:43,795
It's hard not to hit a kid
with your car.
154
00:05:43,897 --> 00:05:45,897
And parents still
let their children go out?
155
00:05:45,999 --> 00:05:47,432
Oh, yes, they do.
156
00:05:47,534 --> 00:05:49,534
Cha-ching!
157
00:05:49,636 --> 00:05:50,769
Whoo!
158
00:05:50,871 --> 00:05:53,171
If it's killable, it's billable.
159
00:05:57,410 --> 00:05:58,645
Hey.
160
00:05:58,739 --> 00:05:59,971
Oh, good. You're here.
161
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,139
I have something for you.
162
00:06:04,378 --> 00:06:06,077
Oh. Neat.
163
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:07,879
Thank you for these wheel shoes.
164
00:06:07,948 --> 00:06:09,714
You'll make the perfect Tootie.
165
00:06:10,751 --> 00:06:12,317
And just like that,
166
00:06:12,386 --> 00:06:16,454
I had become a real-life
'80s black sitcom character.
167
00:06:16,523 --> 00:06:18,890
Which meant it was my job
to provide comic relief
168
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,159
and teach white people lessons.
169
00:06:23,163 --> 00:06:24,996
So, you like juice boxes, huh?
170
00:06:25,098 --> 00:06:26,831
You know who else likes juice boxes?
171
00:06:26,934 --> 00:06:28,166
Black people.
172
00:06:29,102 --> 00:06:30,702
Oh. Okay.
173
00:06:30,771 --> 00:06:32,337
My mom packed it for me, so...
174
00:06:32,378 --> 00:06:33,321
Cool.
175
00:06:33,373 --> 00:06:34,706
Do you know who else has moms?
176
00:06:34,775 --> 00:06:35,840
Black people.
177
00:06:36,777 --> 00:06:37,976
Wow.
178
00:06:38,052 --> 00:06:40,185
You know a lot of random black facts.
179
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,785
Okay, I was still getting the hang
180
00:06:42,855 --> 00:06:44,683
of being a magical half-Negro.
181
00:06:44,751 --> 00:06:48,186
But I wanted the girls to see
that we are all the same.
182
00:06:48,288 --> 00:06:49,955
You know, my aunt
really likes Madonna, too.
183
00:06:50,057 --> 00:06:51,556
Oh, that makes sense...
184
00:06:51,658 --> 00:06:52,991
because you're half-white, right?
185
00:06:53,093 --> 00:06:54,826
Actually, my Aunt Dee-Dee's black.
186
00:06:54,928 --> 00:06:57,028
Black people like all kinds of music.
187
00:06:57,130 --> 00:06:59,531
Oh, cool. I'll make you a mixtape.
188
00:07:00,667 --> 00:07:02,234
See you later.
189
00:07:02,336 --> 00:07:04,135
What a rush!
190
00:07:04,204 --> 00:07:07,239
It felt like I was a secret
agent in foreign territory,
191
00:07:07,307 --> 00:07:09,808
changing hearts and minds.
192
00:07:09,876 --> 00:07:12,377
But like any secret agent...
193
00:07:12,446 --> 00:07:14,246
your cover can be blown.
194
00:07:16,583 --> 00:07:19,017
All right, this is
the best part of Halloween...
195
00:07:19,086 --> 00:07:20,619
figuring out what you want to be.
196
00:07:20,687 --> 00:07:23,121
When I was a kid, we used to go
as characters from the movies.
197
00:07:23,223 --> 00:07:25,233
So what's your favorite movie?
198
00:07:25,258 --> 00:07:26,191
"Cocoon."
199
00:07:26,897 --> 00:07:27,959
"Cocoon."
200
00:07:27,984 --> 00:07:28,960
Anything else?
201
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:29,961
Nope.
202
00:07:30,731 --> 00:07:32,931
I'll figure this out.
203
00:07:37,838 --> 00:07:39,037
- That's Luke Skywalker!
- Aah!
204
00:07:39,139 --> 00:07:40,538
- Oh! Get 'em, Luke!
- Get 'em!
205
00:07:40,641 --> 00:07:41,840
It's Jabba!
206
00:07:41,942 --> 00:07:43,275
- Ooh.
- Ooh!
207
00:07:45,679 --> 00:07:46,645
- Ohh!
- Aah!
208
00:07:46,747 --> 00:07:48,724
No! Go right!
209
00:07:48,749 --> 00:07:51,082
It was our first Halloween
off the commune,
210
00:07:51,184 --> 00:07:53,385
and Dad wanted
Johan and Santamonica to have
211
00:07:53,453 --> 00:07:56,154
the greatest trick-or-treating
experience ever.
212
00:07:56,256 --> 00:07:57,722
So he pulled out all the stops
213
00:07:57,791 --> 00:08:00,825
to build the greatest costumes
the neighborhood had ever seen.
214
00:08:00,894 --> 00:08:02,827
And the only thing
that stood in his way was...
215
00:08:02,929 --> 00:08:04,029
- Mommy!
- Mommy!
216
00:08:04,131 --> 00:08:06,931
Wow! Look at you guys!
217
00:08:07,034 --> 00:08:08,566
You're gonna look amazing at school.
218
00:08:08,669 --> 00:08:10,402
I can't wait to go trick-or-treating.
219
00:08:10,504 --> 00:08:11,636
Slow down.
220
00:08:11,705 --> 00:08:14,039
I mean, who said anything
about trick-or-treating?
221
00:08:14,141 --> 00:08:16,041
What do you mean?
Is that... Is that a problem?
222
00:08:16,109 --> 00:08:17,108
It's a huge problem.
223
00:08:17,210 --> 00:08:18,965
But it's the kids' first Halloween.
224
00:08:19,043 --> 00:08:20,445
Why wouldn't they go trick-or-treating?
225
00:08:22,332 --> 00:08:23,346
Mm.
226
00:08:24,985 --> 00:08:27,652
...teeny, tiny razor blades
in bubble gum.
227
00:08:27,721 --> 00:08:29,954
If it's killable, it's billable.
228
00:08:31,058 --> 00:08:33,491
Halloween isn't the same anymore.
229
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:35,660
There's just way too many
bad things that can happen.
230
00:08:35,729 --> 00:08:37,851
Oh, sweetheart,
it's the same harmless fun
231
00:08:37,906 --> 00:08:39,130
we had when we were their age.
232
00:08:39,232 --> 00:08:40,565
No. It's not.
233
00:08:40,634 --> 00:08:42,233
So no Halloween?
234
00:08:42,302 --> 00:08:45,470
Look, I'm not saying
we can't celebrate Halloween.
235
00:08:45,572 --> 00:08:48,106
In fact, we can have
a great one right here.
236
00:08:48,175 --> 00:08:51,276
We can throw a Halloween party
if you want.
237
00:08:51,345 --> 00:08:54,412
We could carve pumpkins and...
238
00:08:54,481 --> 00:08:55,880
bob for apples
239
00:08:55,982 --> 00:08:59,184
and play "Pin the Hat on the Witch."
240
00:08:59,252 --> 00:09:03,288
Nobody's gonna come to
a Halloween party on Halloween.
241
00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:05,056
They'll all be trick-or-treating.
242
00:09:05,125 --> 00:09:06,591
Well, we'll figure it out.
243
00:09:06,660 --> 00:09:09,027
You need to do something
about your wife.
244
00:09:12,933 --> 00:09:14,632
So, we'll see you later for practice?
245
00:09:14,735 --> 00:09:15,967
Not if I see you first.
246
00:09:16,036 --> 00:09:19,337
But even if I see you first,
I'll still see you at practice.
247
00:09:19,439 --> 00:09:21,373
I was making progress
with the white girls,
248
00:09:21,475 --> 00:09:22,774
but the black girls?
249
00:09:22,843 --> 00:09:25,443
Well, you see
how Tamika was looking at me.
250
00:09:29,950 --> 00:09:31,716
Why do you keep looking at me
like I smell bad?
251
00:09:31,785 --> 00:09:33,251
Why do you keep hanging out with them?
252
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,419
I'm getting to know them.
253
00:09:34,521 --> 00:09:37,088
Because, you know,
we all have so much in common.
254
00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:39,257
They have moms, they like juice.
255
00:09:39,326 --> 00:09:40,692
What are you talking about?
256
00:09:40,761 --> 00:09:43,027
I'm saying you should
come hang out with us sometime
257
00:09:43,130 --> 00:09:44,229
and get to know them.
258
00:09:44,297 --> 00:09:47,365
Nah. My mom said
white girls have head lice.
259
00:09:47,467 --> 00:09:49,808
When you're trying to fix racism,
260
00:09:49,886 --> 00:09:51,230
there are many approaches...
261
00:09:51,292 --> 00:09:54,316
marches, protests,
a cleverly worded hashtag.
262
00:09:54,378 --> 00:09:56,641
But in the heat of the moment,
I chose bribery.
263
00:09:56,743 --> 00:09:57,809
Okay.
264
00:09:57,911 --> 00:10:01,413
But they have awesome things
in their lunches.
265
00:10:01,515 --> 00:10:03,114
What, like hot fish?
266
00:10:03,216 --> 00:10:04,516
I wish.
267
00:10:04,618 --> 00:10:05,650
But no.
268
00:10:05,752 --> 00:10:07,318
I'm talking Twinkies.
269
00:10:07,421 --> 00:10:09,954
Every single day.
270
00:10:10,056 --> 00:10:12,891
And if you ask nicely,
they'll give you one.
271
00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:15,527
Just come sit with us at lunch. Please?
272
00:10:15,629 --> 00:10:17,061
I'd eat a Twinkie.
273
00:10:18,765 --> 00:10:21,166
Then, once we've filled
the barrel with water
274
00:10:21,268 --> 00:10:22,400
and we add the apples,
275
00:10:22,469 --> 00:10:25,770
the bobbing is gonna be
off-the-charts crazy fun!
276
00:10:25,872 --> 00:10:26,905
You know I can't swim.
277
00:10:27,007 --> 00:10:28,473
Is that the barrel I was born in?
278
00:10:29,543 --> 00:10:30,575
No.
279
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:32,544
Dad, why can't we just
go trick-or-treating?
280
00:10:32,646 --> 00:10:33,378
Yes!
281
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,446
Guys, come on.
282
00:10:34,548 --> 00:10:35,880
Your mom feels strongly about this.
283
00:10:35,982 --> 00:10:37,582
And... And I support her.
284
00:10:37,651 --> 00:10:40,385
It's very important for
a husband to support his wife.
285
00:10:41,688 --> 00:10:42,620
Whipped.
286
00:10:42,722 --> 00:10:45,390
I'm telling you, it's gonna be awesome.
287
00:10:45,459 --> 00:10:47,225
Just like pumpkin carving...
288
00:10:47,294 --> 00:10:50,161
we can carve smiling faces
and scary faces.
289
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:52,063
The possibilities are endless!
290
00:10:52,165 --> 00:10:53,898
It sounds like
the possibilities are two.
291
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,867
Can you carve this face?
292
00:10:56,970 --> 00:10:58,236
Uh, yeah.
293
00:10:58,338 --> 00:10:59,571
Not with the eye roll.
294
00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:03,241
Also, I think your mom's
"Pin the Hat on the Witch" game
295
00:11:03,343 --> 00:11:04,576
is a great idea.
296
00:11:04,644 --> 00:11:06,211
- No, you don't!
- Is that even a thing?
297
00:11:06,313 --> 00:11:07,779
- I think it's a thing.
- It's not a thing.
298
00:11:07,881 --> 00:11:08,813
It could be a thing.
299
00:11:09,916 --> 00:11:11,149
Look at you.
300
00:11:11,218 --> 00:11:13,785
Admit it, Dad. Your heart's
just not in this, is it?
301
00:11:13,887 --> 00:11:15,487
No. No, it is not!
302
00:11:15,589 --> 00:11:17,455
I love Halloween!
303
00:11:17,524 --> 00:11:18,823
I love trick-or-treating.
304
00:11:18,925 --> 00:11:20,825
Then you have to make this
happen for us.
305
00:11:20,927 --> 00:11:22,060
I know.
306
00:11:22,162 --> 00:11:23,628
So, what does that mean?
307
00:11:24,998 --> 00:11:26,631
I got to do something about my wife.
308
00:11:26,733 --> 00:11:28,700
Mmmmmm-hmm.
309
00:11:30,537 --> 00:11:33,347
Will Brock and Angelina reach
Christina before it's too late?
310
00:11:33,425 --> 00:11:35,322
Never thought I'd say this,
but I'm glad you're here.
311
00:11:35,375 --> 00:11:38,042
You're lucky it's a commercial.
You got 2 1/2 minutes.
312
00:11:38,144 --> 00:11:39,444
I need your help with Alicia.
313
00:11:39,546 --> 00:11:40,745
She is adamant about
314
00:11:40,814 --> 00:11:42,481
not letting Johan and Santi
go trick-or-treating.
315
00:11:42,583 --> 00:11:44,215
- So? They'll live.
- No, I-I-I know,
316
00:11:44,286 --> 00:11:46,169
but I want them to experience Halloween.
317
00:11:46,219 --> 00:11:49,020
It's the one time of the year
where kids just get to be kids.
318
00:11:49,122 --> 00:11:51,556
Is this the kind of nonsense
you people worry about?
319
00:11:51,658 --> 00:11:53,892
What other problems do you have
that I would kill for?
320
00:11:53,994 --> 00:11:56,461
Denise, come on. Please. I'm serious.
321
00:11:56,563 --> 00:11:58,062
You know, when I was a kid,
322
00:11:58,131 --> 00:12:01,165
Halloween was the one night
where we were all the same.
323
00:12:01,268 --> 00:12:05,069
White, black, rich, poor...
we all looked alike.
324
00:12:05,138 --> 00:12:07,238
I remember putting on
a face full of makeup
325
00:12:07,307 --> 00:12:09,374
so I could blend in
with anyone, anywhere.
326
00:12:09,476 --> 00:12:12,343
No one knew that I was the rich,
white kid from up the street.
327
00:12:12,445 --> 00:12:13,444
Mnh-mnh.
328
00:12:13,547 --> 00:12:15,246
It sound like you did blackface.
329
00:12:15,348 --> 00:12:16,548
No! No, no, no.
330
00:12:16,650 --> 00:12:17,849
I was a chimney sweep.
331
00:12:20,420 --> 00:12:22,787
The point is, I need to help Alicia
332
00:12:22,856 --> 00:12:24,188
change her mind for the kids.
333
00:12:24,291 --> 00:12:26,457
Did she... always hate Halloween?
334
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:27,559
She loved Halloween.
335
00:12:28,795 --> 00:12:30,895
We used to get a kick
out of scaring each other.
336
00:12:30,997 --> 00:12:33,431
In fact, the bigger the scare,
the better.
337
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:36,067
So you're saying to help her
get over her fear of Halloween,
338
00:12:36,169 --> 00:12:37,602
I should scare her?
339
00:12:37,704 --> 00:12:38,670
Yes.
340
00:12:38,772 --> 00:12:40,405
And the most important thing to remember
341
00:12:40,473 --> 00:12:42,373
- when you scare her is...
- We now return to...
342
00:12:42,475 --> 00:12:43,908
Oop! Time's up!
343
00:12:44,010 --> 00:12:45,910
Will Christina marry Emmanuel?
344
00:12:45,979 --> 00:12:47,846
Or will Brock and Angelina...
345
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:52,016
Hello?
346
00:12:53,253 --> 00:12:54,819
Anybody home?
347
00:12:57,791 --> 00:12:59,524
Hello?
348
00:12:59,626 --> 00:13:01,192
Hello?!
349
00:13:03,730 --> 00:13:04,729
Aaaaah!
350
00:13:04,831 --> 00:13:05,863
Ohhh!
351
00:13:08,351 --> 00:13:09,300
- Kick him!
- That's Dad!
352
00:13:09,369 --> 00:13:10,635
Kick him till he's dead!
353
00:13:10,737 --> 00:13:12,103
Sound familiar?
354
00:13:12,172 --> 00:13:13,738
You may have heard me say this before.
355
00:13:14,841 --> 00:13:15,840
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
356
00:13:15,942 --> 00:13:17,742
- Kick him! Kick him till he's dead!
- No!
357
00:13:17,844 --> 00:13:19,310
Now you know where I got it.
358
00:13:19,379 --> 00:13:21,379
Nobody's putting razor blades...
359
00:13:21,481 --> 00:13:22,680
- Mom, that's Dad! Mom!
- That's Dad! Stop!
360
00:13:22,782 --> 00:13:24,649
- It's Dad!
- What?
361
00:13:24,751 --> 00:13:25,819
- Dad!
- Mom! Mom!
362
00:13:25,843 --> 00:13:27,485
Stop!
363
00:13:27,587 --> 00:13:29,287
Paul? What...
364
00:13:29,389 --> 00:13:30,655
- Ohh, God.
- Get up!
365
00:13:30,724 --> 00:13:33,024
What are you doing?! You knew it was me!
366
00:13:33,126 --> 00:13:35,526
I can't resist kicking
a white man when he's down.
367
00:13:35,629 --> 00:13:37,161
- Ohh!
- What were you thinking?!
368
00:13:37,263 --> 00:13:38,463
Honey, I was trying to remind you
369
00:13:38,565 --> 00:13:39,664
how much fun Halloween could be
370
00:13:39,733 --> 00:13:41,394
so you'd let the kids
go trick-or-treating.
371
00:13:41,449 --> 00:13:43,558
There is nothing fun about any of this!
372
00:13:43,621 --> 00:13:44,894
Halloween just got you hurt!
373
00:13:44,957 --> 00:13:46,804
No. You just got me hurt.
374
00:13:46,906 --> 00:13:47,872
And so did I.
375
00:13:47,974 --> 00:13:50,475
That settles it... no trick-or-treating.
376
00:13:50,577 --> 00:13:52,043
Everybody else is going!
377
00:13:52,112 --> 00:13:53,278
Sorry.
378
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,742
Why can't we ever do one thing
like a normal family?
379
00:13:55,852 --> 00:13:58,983
Do you have any idea what it's
like being known as the freaks?
380
00:14:05,091 --> 00:14:07,925
Really? The bigger the scare,
the better?
381
00:14:08,028 --> 00:14:09,994
Okay. That was Dee-Dee's bad.
382
00:14:12,065 --> 00:14:14,365
So, the next day,
I was ready to make headway
383
00:14:14,467 --> 00:14:15,833
for race relations.
384
00:14:15,935 --> 00:14:18,703
If being a token meant
I was their first black friend,
385
00:14:18,805 --> 00:14:21,005
then maybe they were ready
for their second.
386
00:14:21,107 --> 00:14:22,774
Hey. You guys know Tamika?
387
00:14:22,876 --> 00:14:24,676
I heard you guys have Twinkies.
388
00:14:24,778 --> 00:14:27,278
Yeah, I was telling Tamika
how much you guys like Twinkies,
389
00:14:27,380 --> 00:14:29,113
and she was like, "I like Twinkies."
390
00:14:29,215 --> 00:14:31,883
And it hit me... why don't we
all like Twinkies together?
391
00:14:31,985 --> 00:14:34,452
I just heard you guys were
passing out Twinkies.
392
00:14:34,554 --> 00:14:36,054
Have you ever heard of "please"?
393
00:14:36,156 --> 00:14:38,056
Look, I'm not gonna beg you.
394
00:14:38,258 --> 00:14:40,658
Oh, I also forgot to mention
395
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,062
how much we all love our moms and juice!
396
00:14:45,965 --> 00:14:47,861
You guys are weirdos. I'm out.
397
00:14:50,136 --> 00:14:51,335
What was that all about?
398
00:14:51,438 --> 00:14:52,737
I know, right?
399
00:14:52,839 --> 00:14:54,739
I told you we picked the right one.
400
00:14:54,841 --> 00:14:57,308
Wait, what do you mean
you picked the right one?
401
00:14:57,410 --> 00:14:59,077
I mean you're awesome.
402
00:14:59,179 --> 00:15:01,612
It would be so cool if all
the black girls at this school
403
00:15:01,715 --> 00:15:03,214
were as nice as you.
404
00:15:03,316 --> 00:15:04,882
And there it was.
405
00:15:04,984 --> 00:15:08,352
I had failed at my mission
to unify the school.
406
00:15:08,455 --> 00:15:11,122
When they said I was nice,
that meant I was more white...
407
00:15:11,224 --> 00:15:14,258
or diet black...
and that wasn't a compliment.
408
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,803
I need to go.
409
00:15:21,824 --> 00:15:23,157
You okay?
410
00:15:23,259 --> 00:15:25,159
You barely ate dinner.
411
00:15:25,228 --> 00:15:28,029
I wasn't in the mood for Dad's hot fish.
412
00:15:28,097 --> 00:15:30,231
Honestly, he's made hotter.
413
00:15:31,668 --> 00:15:33,367
Do you want to tell me what happened?
414
00:15:33,469 --> 00:15:34,669
Is it your new friends?
415
00:15:34,771 --> 00:15:36,103
They're not my friends.
416
00:15:38,308 --> 00:15:40,074
They only chose me for my color.
417
00:15:40,143 --> 00:15:43,177
I thought I could show them
that everyone was the same,
418
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:45,079
but then they said...
419
00:15:45,148 --> 00:15:47,069
that they wish
all black girls were like me.
420
00:15:48,051 --> 00:15:49,784
Sweetie, I know what that's like.
421
00:15:49,852 --> 00:15:52,614
I go through something like that
almost every day at work.
422
00:15:52,889 --> 00:15:54,355
What do you do?
423
00:15:55,491 --> 00:15:56,791
I make sure they know
424
00:15:56,859 --> 00:15:59,260
that they're just talking
out of ignorance or fear.
425
00:16:00,229 --> 00:16:02,163
Look, anytime
something like that happens,
426
00:16:02,231 --> 00:16:05,466
it's because people are afraid
of what they don't know.
427
00:16:05,535 --> 00:16:08,666
People feel safer around
other people who are like them.
428
00:16:09,439 --> 00:16:10,705
But you know what?
429
00:16:10,773 --> 00:16:11,939
I am so proud
430
00:16:12,041 --> 00:16:14,111
that you tried to show them
we're all the same.
431
00:16:14,811 --> 00:16:17,912
But I didn't say anything.
I just stood there.
432
00:16:18,014 --> 00:16:21,749
I didn't always have
the confidence to say something.
433
00:16:21,818 --> 00:16:23,384
That comes with time.
434
00:16:23,453 --> 00:16:27,822
And when the time is right,
you'll know what to say.
435
00:16:27,924 --> 00:16:29,557
I hope so.
436
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,093
I know so.
437
00:16:33,229 --> 00:16:34,562
Go to bed!
438
00:16:34,664 --> 00:16:36,030
I love you.
439
00:16:36,132 --> 00:16:37,632
Love you.
440
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:40,267
I hear gurgling when I breathe.
441
00:16:40,370 --> 00:16:41,636
You're not hurt that badly.
442
00:16:41,738 --> 00:16:43,537
I don't think I should
fall asleep tonight.
443
00:16:44,774 --> 00:16:46,140
How important is your spleen?
444
00:16:46,242 --> 00:16:47,575
I talked to Rainbow tonight.
445
00:16:47,677 --> 00:16:48,743
She all right?
446
00:16:48,811 --> 00:16:50,277
She's good.
447
00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:51,612
Thanks to me.
448
00:16:51,714 --> 00:16:53,514
I gave her some great advice
449
00:16:53,616 --> 00:16:55,750
about ignorance and irrational fear
450
00:16:55,852 --> 00:16:58,522
and not letting them determine
how you live your life.
451
00:16:59,055 --> 00:17:00,221
Brilliant, really.
452
00:17:00,289 --> 00:17:02,356
Wow. That does sound brilliant.
453
00:17:02,425 --> 00:17:05,259
It's kind of weird that
you don't take your own advice.
454
00:17:05,328 --> 00:17:07,828
What are you talking about?
455
00:17:07,930 --> 00:17:10,531
Letting fear control your life?
456
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,999
Isn't that what you're doing
457
00:17:12,068 --> 00:17:13,801
with the kids and trick-or-treating?
458
00:17:13,870 --> 00:17:15,836
No! It's totally different.
459
00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:18,739
It's a little different.
460
00:17:18,841 --> 00:17:22,443
Honey, I totally get
wanting to keep the kids safe,
461
00:17:22,512 --> 00:17:25,446
but we let Santi drive a tractor.
462
00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:27,815
I think this is one of those times
463
00:17:27,884 --> 00:17:31,185
we just have to let go a little
and let them be kids.
464
00:17:31,254 --> 00:17:32,653
Like their friends, you know,
465
00:17:32,755 --> 00:17:34,463
so no one thinks that they're freaks.
466
00:17:36,192 --> 00:17:38,192
Hmm.
467
00:17:40,830 --> 00:17:44,256
Johan! Santi!
We're going trick-or-treating!
468
00:17:44,350 --> 00:17:46,801
- Yeah!
- Mommy, you're the best!
469
00:17:46,869 --> 00:17:48,602
- I love you! I love you! Yay!
- Yeah! You're awesome!
470
00:17:48,705 --> 00:17:50,237
Yeah, this seems fair.
471
00:17:52,608 --> 00:17:54,141
You look amazing!
472
00:17:55,078 --> 00:17:56,177
We're so gonna win.
473
00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:57,812
Are you ready to go?
474
00:17:57,914 --> 00:17:59,046
Yeah.
475
00:18:02,952 --> 00:18:05,553
Actually, I can't be Tootie.
476
00:18:05,755 --> 00:18:07,455
What are you talking about?
477
00:18:08,791 --> 00:18:11,168
It's hard to explain
what courage feels like,
478
00:18:11,238 --> 00:18:12,824
but Mom was right.
479
00:18:12,910 --> 00:18:14,058
When I was ready,
480
00:18:14,097 --> 00:18:16,409
the words were right there
waiting for me.
481
00:18:16,503 --> 00:18:18,628
I was so excited to hang with you guys.
482
00:18:18,968 --> 00:18:21,448
But yesterday, when you said you wished
483
00:18:21,534 --> 00:18:23,304
all the black girls at school
were like me?
484
00:18:23,406 --> 00:18:24,472
Not cool.
485
00:18:25,508 --> 00:18:26,674
You only think I'm different
486
00:18:26,743 --> 00:18:29,443
because you never even talk
to the rest of them.
487
00:18:29,545 --> 00:18:32,179
So if you don't think it's worth
the time to get to know them,
488
00:18:32,281 --> 00:18:33,914
then you'll have to find another Tootie.
489
00:18:34,016 --> 00:18:35,182
There it was...
490
00:18:35,284 --> 00:18:38,285
my first time demanding
to be seen as a person,
491
00:18:38,387 --> 00:18:39,420
not a color.
492
00:18:39,522 --> 00:18:41,088
It may have been my proudest moment.
493
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:43,157
Now excuse me.
494
00:18:49,832 --> 00:18:52,800
But it was also my first time
on roller skates.
495
00:18:54,937 --> 00:18:56,871
But what I ultimately learned
496
00:18:56,973 --> 00:18:59,306
was to not let myself
be defined by labels
497
00:18:59,375 --> 00:19:02,409
and instead just be true to myself...
498
00:19:02,512 --> 00:19:04,259
every part of myself.
499
00:19:05,448 --> 00:19:07,715
Sorry if I ruined
our chances of fitting in.
500
00:19:07,817 --> 00:19:10,205
It's fine. We'll have
plenty more chances.
501
00:19:10,259 --> 00:19:11,752
We're gonna have boobs soon.
502
00:19:16,092 --> 00:19:18,308
When it comes down to it,
people pick tokens
503
00:19:18,386 --> 00:19:21,228
because they don't want to step
outside their comfort zones.
504
00:19:21,330 --> 00:19:23,197
They fear the unfamiliar.
505
00:19:29,372 --> 00:19:31,405
But that year, I realized
506
00:19:31,507 --> 00:19:34,575
people's assumptions about you
are just that...
507
00:19:34,677 --> 00:19:36,049
assumptions.
508
00:19:37,380 --> 00:19:39,647
The family in the neighborhood
you think is weird?
509
00:19:39,749 --> 00:19:41,682
They actually might be pretty cool.
510
00:19:41,784 --> 00:19:43,317
Trick or treat!
511
00:19:43,419 --> 00:19:46,487
Hey! I'm a woman with a new attitude.
512
00:19:46,581 --> 00:19:47,822
You know I'm Patti LaBelle.
513
00:19:47,917 --> 00:19:48,923
Aah!
514
00:19:51,227 --> 00:19:53,327
The girl you chose for her color
515
00:19:53,429 --> 00:19:56,497
might actually be a friend
if you give her a chance.
516
00:20:00,002 --> 00:20:01,535
Halloween 1985
517
00:20:01,637 --> 00:20:03,537
will always stand out as the first time
518
00:20:03,639 --> 00:20:06,473
I tried to change how others saw me.
519
00:20:06,576 --> 00:20:09,677
But I realized that year
that the most important thing
520
00:20:09,779 --> 00:20:11,545
was how I saw myself.
521
00:20:13,554 --> 00:20:16,472
Hey, I've been thinking a lot
about that whole token,
522
00:20:16,550 --> 00:20:18,261
safe black person thing,
523
00:20:18,331 --> 00:20:19,972
and I-I think I get what you're saying.
524
00:20:20,019 --> 00:20:21,703
I'm not sure you do.
525
00:20:21,797 --> 00:20:23,417
No, no, I'm a great judge of character.
526
00:20:23,461 --> 00:20:25,930
Um, Ike Turner... safe.
527
00:20:25,984 --> 00:20:27,421
Mike Tyson... safe.
528
00:20:27,492 --> 00:20:29,064
Bobby Brown... safe.
529
00:20:30,104 --> 00:20:32,244
Hi. Yes, I can talk now.
530
00:20:32,331 --> 00:20:33,791
Last one...
531
00:20:33,877 --> 00:20:35,983
Bill Cosby... safe.
532
