Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:56,841 --> 00:00:59,105
Satire, one A.
2
00:00:59,144 --> 00:01:01,442
A literary work
in which human vice or folly...
3
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,346
is ridiculed
or attacked scornfully.
4
00:01:04,382 --> 00:01:10,343
B--The branch of literature
that composes such work.
5
00:01:10,388 --> 00:01:14,017
2--lrony,
derision or caustic wit...
6
00:01:14,059 --> 00:01:18,792
used to attack or expose
folly, vice, or stupidity.
7
00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:24,826
Bonjour.
My name is Pierre Delacroix.
8
00:01:24,869 --> 00:01:29,829
I am a television writer.
A creative person.
9
00:01:29,874 --> 00:01:34,174
I'm one of those people
responsible for what you view...
10
00:01:34,212 --> 00:01:36,680
on your idiot box.
11
00:01:36,714 --> 00:01:40,445
The problem is,
not enough of you...
12
00:01:40,485 --> 00:01:44,353
have been watching out there
in television land.
13
00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:47,358
With the onslaught
of the internet, video...
14
00:01:47,392 --> 00:01:53,729
and interactive games,
900 channels to choose from...
15
00:01:53,765 --> 00:01:58,862
our valued audience
has dramatically eroded.
16
00:01:58,903 --> 00:02:01,963
To put it
in much simpler terms...
17
00:02:02,006 --> 00:02:06,966
like rats fleeing
from a sinking ship.
18
00:02:07,011 --> 00:02:10,606
People are tuning out
by the millions...
19
00:02:10,648 --> 00:02:16,052
which, needless to say,
is bad for business.
20
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:31,533
Let's get it.
21
00:02:31,569 --> 00:02:33,764
If you don't dance,
we don't eat.
22
00:02:33,805 --> 00:02:36,069
You slow, we blow.
You snooze, we lose.
23
00:02:36,107 --> 00:02:38,075
Come on, get up.
24
00:02:38,109 --> 00:02:39,838
Seriously, son, get up.
25
00:03:09,207 --> 00:03:11,334
He went to Juilliard,
School of the Arts.
26
00:03:11,376 --> 00:03:14,106
I gave him his first break.
He's my partner.
27
00:03:16,548 --> 00:03:19,449
Don't hurt 'em.
28
00:03:27,625 --> 00:03:28,785
Let me shine 'em up.
29
00:03:36,868 --> 00:03:38,062
Wind it up, baby.
30
00:03:43,141 --> 00:03:45,871
What? Now, before you go...
31
00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:47,605
don't forget to give us
that cheese.
32
00:03:47,645 --> 00:03:52,344
That m-o-n-e... Why?
Because we broke. What's up?
33
00:03:52,383 --> 00:03:53,407
Thank you very much.
Bless you.
34
00:03:53,451 --> 00:03:55,919
Thank you, thank you.
35
00:03:55,954 --> 00:03:58,218
Hey, Sling blade,
what's happening? Thank you.
36
00:03:58,256 --> 00:03:59,553
There you go.
37
00:03:59,591 --> 00:04:01,286
Bless you from the bottom
of your heart, baby.
38
00:04:01,326 --> 00:04:03,556
Big Dela!
39
00:04:03,595 --> 00:04:05,586
It's the Dela man!
40
00:04:05,630 --> 00:04:08,690
There you go with the suits.
I like that.
41
00:04:08,733 --> 00:04:10,200
Good morning, Womack.
42
00:04:10,235 --> 00:04:12,567
Looks like you going
to an exorcism, man.
43
00:04:12,604 --> 00:04:14,572
I like the suit, though.
It's pretty nice.
44
00:04:14,606 --> 00:04:15,538
Thank you.
45
00:04:15,573 --> 00:04:17,438
Why don't you help me
and Manray out, man?
46
00:04:17,475 --> 00:04:20,876
We're trying to get some work.
You work for the network.
47
00:04:20,912 --> 00:04:23,210
I'll work on something.
48
00:04:23,248 --> 00:04:27,082
Sloan says you're too talented
to be dancing in the street.
49
00:04:27,118 --> 00:04:29,416
Word? Why don't you
tell Sloan to come see me?
50
00:04:29,454 --> 00:04:32,821
I'll do that.
Good day, gentlemen.
51
00:04:32,857 --> 00:04:34,848
"I'll do that."
He a damn magician?
52
00:04:34,892 --> 00:04:37,554
You work for one of the biggest
networks in the country!
53
00:04:37,595 --> 00:04:42,089
Somebody put a 10 up in here.
Check it.
54
00:04:42,133 --> 00:04:44,567
Here we go.
One for you, three for me.
55
00:04:44,602 --> 00:04:46,797
You the feet, I'm the brains.
Told you, boy.
56
00:04:46,838 --> 00:04:48,396
Yeah, baby.
57
00:04:48,673 --> 00:04:50,868
You have a grand day.
58
00:04:51,743 --> 00:04:54,507
Good morning, Steve.
59
00:04:54,545 --> 00:04:56,206
Hello, Margaret.
60
00:04:57,382 --> 00:04:58,713
Bartholomew.
61
00:05:00,418 --> 00:05:02,352
Kip!
62
00:05:02,387 --> 00:05:03,786
Hey, Jarma.
63
00:05:04,889 --> 00:05:06,857
18 to 49-year-old audience.
64
00:05:06,891 --> 00:05:09,223
Do you understand?
It's pretty--
65
00:05:11,195 --> 00:05:13,755
Monsieur Delacroix.
66
00:05:13,798 --> 00:05:16,494
- Hello.
- Good morning.
67
00:05:16,534 --> 00:05:18,434
This very important
staff meeting...
68
00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:22,405
commenced exactly
32 minutes ago.
69
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,465
My apologies around the room
for my tardiness.
70
00:05:24,509 --> 00:05:26,272
Do you have any idea
how much information...
71
00:05:26,311 --> 00:05:28,541
can be dispensed
in one minute alone?
72
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:32,106
Sir, had I been informed
of this important meeting...
73
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:34,448
I would have canceled
my Pilates session this morning.
74
00:05:34,485 --> 00:05:36,180
I did not find out about it--
75
00:05:36,220 --> 00:05:38,484
You're telling me
that everyone in the room...
76
00:05:38,523 --> 00:05:40,753
knew about this little
get-together except for you.
77
00:05:40,792 --> 00:05:45,593
People, you can pull a Rodman
like our friend Delacroix...
78
00:05:45,630 --> 00:05:48,531
but I guarantee you'll be sent
packing just like him.
79
00:05:48,566 --> 00:05:51,797
These are the ratings, people.
Read 'em and weep.
80
00:05:51,836 --> 00:05:54,396
As you can plainly see...
81
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:57,067
the Continental Network System
is languishing.
82
00:05:57,108 --> 00:06:01,010
Look at 'em, people.
Look very closely.
83
00:06:01,045 --> 00:06:05,311
We are booty, caca.
We are doo-doo.
84
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:07,147
I don't like to be
the laughingstock...
85
00:06:07,185 --> 00:06:09,380
of the entire broadcast
industry.
86
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:12,389
I don't like these pricks
who call themselves my bosses...
87
00:06:12,423 --> 00:06:13,651
breathing down my back.
88
00:06:13,691 --> 00:06:15,181
It makes me sweat.
89
00:06:15,226 --> 00:06:17,592
These numbers
are totally unacceptable.
90
00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:19,152
These numbers have to go up.
91
00:06:21,833 --> 00:06:23,391
Question.
92
00:06:23,434 --> 00:06:25,095
What do you want us to do?
93
00:06:25,136 --> 00:06:26,660
Dumb-ass question.
94
00:06:26,704 --> 00:06:30,299
I want you to write
some material that is funny.
95
00:06:30,341 --> 00:06:34,038
Your material is about
as funny as a dead baby.
96
00:06:34,078 --> 00:06:37,809
It's not dope. It's not new.
It's not sexy.
97
00:06:37,849 --> 00:06:38,873
It sucks.
98
00:06:38,916 --> 00:06:41,180
Thank you, Fish. It sucks.
99
00:06:41,219 --> 00:06:42,846
This meeting is over.
100
00:06:42,887 --> 00:06:44,878
But I want you to think
about what I just said...
101
00:06:44,922 --> 00:06:46,719
and how you can deliver.
102
00:06:46,758 --> 00:06:51,024
Otherwise, things are
gonna get very grim around here.
103
00:06:51,062 --> 00:06:52,893
Monsieur Delacroix.
104
00:06:52,930 --> 00:06:55,194
Can I see you
in my office now, please?
105
00:06:56,367 --> 00:06:57,425
Yes.
106
00:06:57,468 --> 00:06:59,800
Seeing that you're
all stretched out and shit.
107
00:06:59,837 --> 00:07:02,897
Sloan, why didn't I know
about this important meeting?
108
00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:05,602
Nobody sent me an e-mail.
I didn't have a memo.
109
00:07:05,643 --> 00:07:08,134
What good are you if
I don't know about these things?
110
00:07:08,179 --> 00:07:10,670
Well, it wasn't my fault.
111
00:07:10,715 --> 00:07:13,878
I was embarrassed.
Hey, Chuckie.
112
00:07:13,918 --> 00:07:16,386
Humiliated.
113
00:07:16,421 --> 00:07:19,254
But if I don't know,
how are you gonna know?
114
00:07:19,290 --> 00:07:22,282
That's unacceptable.
It better never happen again.
115
00:07:22,326 --> 00:07:24,419
Do you know what CP Time is?
116
00:07:24,462 --> 00:07:26,362
CP Time.
117
00:07:26,397 --> 00:07:28,695
CP Time is
Colored People's Time...
118
00:07:28,733 --> 00:07:32,225
the stereotypical belief
that Negroes are always late...
119
00:07:32,270 --> 00:07:34,534
that Negroes
have no sense of time...
120
00:07:34,572 --> 00:07:37,666
except when it comes
to music or dance...
121
00:07:37,708 --> 00:07:40,233
then you can set
your watch to them.
122
00:07:40,278 --> 00:07:42,508
I'm sorry about my blowup.
123
00:07:42,547 --> 00:07:44,913
It's OK. I understand.
124
00:07:44,949 --> 00:07:46,940
Listen, let's sit down.
125
00:07:46,984 --> 00:07:51,580
I know you're the most creative
person I've got on staff.
126
00:07:51,622 --> 00:07:54,250
I mean, you're hip,
you know what's happening.
127
00:07:54,292 --> 00:07:56,726
I've got a bunch of pasty-ass
white boys and girls...
128
00:07:56,761 --> 00:07:58,456
writing for me,
you know what I mean?
129
00:07:58,496 --> 00:08:01,226
I grew up around black people
my whole life.
130
00:08:01,265 --> 00:08:04,496
If the truth be told, I probably
know niggers better than you.
131
00:08:04,535 --> 00:08:08,665
Don't go getting offended
by my use of the N-word.
132
00:08:08,706 --> 00:08:11,004
I have a black wife
and two biracial kids...
133
00:08:11,042 --> 00:08:12,339
so I feel I have a right.
134
00:08:12,376 --> 00:08:14,867
I don't give a goddamn
what that prick Spike Lee says.
135
00:08:14,912 --> 00:08:17,813
Tarantino was right.
"Nigger" is just a word.
136
00:08:17,849 --> 00:08:21,114
If Old Dirty Bastard can use it,
why can't l?
137
00:08:21,152 --> 00:08:24,952
I would prefer if you did not
use that word in my presence.
138
00:08:24,989 --> 00:08:26,354
Oh, really?
139
00:08:27,925 --> 00:08:29,688
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger.
140
00:08:29,727 --> 00:08:33,629
Whitey, whitey, whitey, whitey!
141
00:08:33,664 --> 00:08:37,122
The material you've been writing
is too white-bread.
142
00:08:37,168 --> 00:08:39,728
It's white people
with black faces.
143
00:08:39,770 --> 00:08:42,466
The Huxtables, Cosby--
a genius, revolutionary.
144
00:08:42,507 --> 00:08:44,668
Theo, Lisa Bonet--dope.
145
00:08:44,709 --> 00:08:46,074
But we can't go down
that road again.
146
00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:47,270
I disagree.
147
00:08:47,311 --> 00:08:49,506
The Negro middle class
does exist...
148
00:08:49,547 --> 00:08:53,847
and it's fertile ground for
a dramatic series or a sitcom.
149
00:08:53,885 --> 00:08:56,445
Look at this stuff
I'm having to read.
150
00:08:56,487 --> 00:09:02,892
A black family moves into
a white suburban enclave.
151
00:09:02,927 --> 00:09:05,054
This is shit.
152
00:09:05,096 --> 00:09:09,089
A black girl is adopted
by some chink American family?
153
00:09:09,133 --> 00:09:10,157
They were Polynesian.
154
00:09:10,201 --> 00:09:12,761
A black headmaster is hired...
155
00:09:12,803 --> 00:09:16,899
at some old-money, crusty,
Eastern boarding school.
156
00:09:16,941 --> 00:09:21,173
Garbage. It's too clean,
it's too antiseptic.
157
00:09:21,212 --> 00:09:22,736
- It's too--
- White.
158
00:09:22,780 --> 00:09:25,476
Delacroix, wake up, brother man.
159
00:09:25,516 --> 00:09:27,746
The reason why these shows
didn't get picked up...
160
00:09:27,785 --> 00:09:30,720
is because nobody,
no-motherfuckin'-body...
161
00:09:30,755 --> 00:09:33,690
niggers and crackers alike,
wants to see that junk.
162
00:09:33,724 --> 00:09:35,351
People want to be entertained.
163
00:09:35,393 --> 00:09:38,794
It didn't get picked up
because no one gave it a chance.
164
00:09:38,829 --> 00:09:41,764
Oh, really?
No one gave them a chance?
165
00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:43,994
You got your head
stuck so far up your ass...
166
00:09:44,035 --> 00:09:48,267
with your Harvard education
and pretentious Buppy ways.
167
00:09:48,306 --> 00:09:50,672
Brother man,
I'm blacker than you.
168
00:09:50,708 --> 00:09:52,903
I'm keeping it real.
I'm 'bout it, 'bout it.
169
00:09:52,944 --> 00:09:53,911
I got the roll.
170
00:09:53,945 --> 00:09:57,540
You're just frontin'
tryin' to be white.
171
00:09:57,582 --> 00:09:59,948
I'm an Aryan. A sellout.
172
00:09:59,984 --> 00:10:03,943
Because I don't aspire to do
"Homeboys from Outer Space"...
173
00:10:03,988 --> 00:10:06,252
"The Secret Diary
of Desmond Pfeiffer"...
174
00:10:06,290 --> 00:10:08,758
or, as you may put it,
some nigger show?
175
00:10:08,793 --> 00:10:11,557
- Is that what you think?
- Yes, exactly.
176
00:10:11,596 --> 00:10:15,862
You and I know black people
set the trends and styles.
177
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:18,391
This is a golden opportunity
for CNS...
178
00:10:18,436 --> 00:10:20,336
but these idiots
have to be led to the water.
179
00:10:20,371 --> 00:10:21,770
We could do this together.
180
00:10:21,806 --> 00:10:23,933
I want a show
that will make headlines.
181
00:10:23,975 --> 00:10:26,569
I want millions and millions
of viewers tuned and glued...
182
00:10:26,611 --> 00:10:28,738
to their fucking televisions
every week saying,
183
00:10:28,779 --> 00:10:32,340
"Did you see what the fuck
they did on CNS last night?"
184
00:10:32,383 --> 00:10:35,716
I want advertisers sucking
my dick to buy on this show.
185
00:10:35,753 --> 00:10:38,017
And I'll squeeze it out of you
if it kills you.
186
00:10:38,055 --> 00:10:40,922
Peep this. I'll give you
a thousand dollars...
187
00:10:40,958 --> 00:10:45,224
if you can name who the fuck
number 24 is right there.
188
00:10:45,262 --> 00:10:47,162
You think I don't know?
189
00:10:47,198 --> 00:10:49,189
Who is it?
190
00:10:49,233 --> 00:10:52,725
That would be...
191
00:10:52,770 --> 00:10:54,362
Yeah. Who is it?
192
00:10:56,574 --> 00:10:58,201
I'll tell you like this...
193
00:10:58,242 --> 00:11:00,506
One day soon, man...
194
00:11:00,544 --> 00:11:03,012
I'm trying to live
in a phat crib...
195
00:11:03,047 --> 00:11:05,015
bills paid for...
196
00:11:05,049 --> 00:11:07,779
get a ride,
throw some rims on there...
197
00:11:07,818 --> 00:11:08,944
with a system.
198
00:11:08,986 --> 00:11:10,920
Throw up some platinum
on the body...
199
00:11:10,955 --> 00:11:13,583
you know what I'm saying?
Shiny.
200
00:11:13,624 --> 00:11:16,115
Ready to get some
jewelry already, huh?
201
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,219
That's the first thing
we do, son.
202
00:11:18,262 --> 00:11:20,526
Get jewelry,
we'll get some Hillnigger...
203
00:11:20,564 --> 00:11:23,055
and we get a ride.
Throw some rims up there.
204
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:24,761
Got to have some patience, man.
205
00:11:24,802 --> 00:11:26,531
I'm the brain of this outfit.
206
00:11:26,570 --> 00:11:29,630
And I'm the feet.
207
00:11:29,674 --> 00:11:31,699
Manny, I can't
just snap my fingers...
208
00:11:31,742 --> 00:11:33,733
and presto-chango,
you're an overnight sensation.
209
00:11:33,778 --> 00:11:35,507
Son, it don't work like that.
210
00:11:35,546 --> 00:11:37,377
What the fuck you think I am,
Houdini?
211
00:11:37,415 --> 00:11:39,679
I'm just tired of waitin', man.
212
00:11:48,526 --> 00:11:50,756
Feed...
213
00:11:50,795 --> 00:11:52,490
the...
214
00:11:52,530 --> 00:11:54,828
idiot box.
215
00:11:54,865 --> 00:11:59,996
Feed the idiot box.
216
00:12:00,037 --> 00:12:02,972
Idiot, feed the idiot box.
217
00:12:08,979 --> 00:12:10,037
Hi.
218
00:12:10,081 --> 00:12:12,311
We're backstage
at the theater.
219
00:12:12,349 --> 00:12:15,011
This is where we tape
"The Chris Rock Show."
220
00:12:15,052 --> 00:12:16,883
Ah, my first writing staff.
221
00:12:16,921 --> 00:12:20,687
They really wanted to get
to know the black experience.
222
00:12:20,725 --> 00:12:22,920
So I fired 'em.
223
00:12:26,097 --> 00:12:30,557
I was never good
at performing under the gun.
224
00:12:30,601 --> 00:12:33,263
Well, this wasn't a gun.
225
00:12:33,304 --> 00:12:37,138
It was a bazooka pressed
point blank against my temple.
226
00:12:37,174 --> 00:12:41,611
Anytime Pierre's in a jam,
I get the call.
227
00:12:41,645 --> 00:12:46,639
I could always count on
my lamb--Sloan Hopkins.
228
00:13:03,734 --> 00:13:06,396
Get up. Get up.
229
00:13:06,437 --> 00:13:08,405
Yo, come on, come on.
230
00:13:08,439 --> 00:13:09,929
Come on, come on!
231
00:13:09,974 --> 00:13:11,498
Come on!
232
00:13:13,911 --> 00:13:16,379
Please evacuate.
233
00:13:16,413 --> 00:13:20,247
All of you are illegal residents
of this condemned building.
234
00:13:20,284 --> 00:13:24,880
Leave immediately by order
of the mayor of New York City...
235
00:13:24,922 --> 00:13:26,685
Rudolph Guiliani.
236
00:13:27,758 --> 00:13:31,854
- Eureka!
- Oh, my God.
237
00:13:34,899 --> 00:13:37,595
Please evacuate.
238
00:13:37,635 --> 00:13:42,163
All of you are illegal residents
of this condemned building.
239
00:13:42,206 --> 00:13:46,142
Leave immediately by order
of the mayor of New York City...
240
00:13:46,177 --> 00:13:47,872
Rudolph Guiliani.
241
00:13:47,912 --> 00:13:49,311
Manray!
242
00:13:54,051 --> 00:13:58,681
I can't believe Manray was
under our noses the entire time.
243
00:13:58,722 --> 00:14:01,054
I know.
Do you know how you use him?
244
00:14:01,091 --> 00:14:03,025
Dunwitty wants a coon show...
245
00:14:03,060 --> 00:14:05,324
so that's what
I intend to give him.
246
00:14:05,362 --> 00:14:09,662
The show will be so negative,
so offensive and racist.
247
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,396
Hence, I will prove my point.
248
00:14:12,436 --> 00:14:13,994
Which is what?
249
00:14:14,038 --> 00:14:17,132
The point being
that him, the network...
250
00:14:17,174 --> 00:14:19,199
does not want to see
Negroes on television...
251
00:14:19,243 --> 00:14:21,336
unless they are buffoons.
252
00:14:21,378 --> 00:14:25,644
They definitely do not want
to see dignified black people.
253
00:14:25,683 --> 00:14:27,878
I mean, they proved that
by canceling your show...
254
00:14:27,918 --> 00:14:30,386
"Brown Nose Jones,"
which was briliant!
255
00:14:30,421 --> 00:14:32,582
After 13 episodes,
they canceled it.
256
00:14:32,623 --> 00:14:35,751
They put it against "Seinfeld."
It didn't have a chance!
257
00:14:35,793 --> 00:14:38,956
I don't know, Pierre.
I really don't.
258
00:14:38,996 --> 00:14:40,964
It still sounds very risky.
259
00:14:40,998 --> 00:14:42,727
You are not getting cold feet?
260
00:14:42,766 --> 00:14:45,462
No. I'm down with you.
261
00:14:45,502 --> 00:14:49,336
Good. I'm going to need
your undying support, lamb.
262
00:14:49,373 --> 00:14:52,536
Have you ever thought
about just quitting?
263
00:14:52,576 --> 00:14:54,635
Quitters quit.
264
00:14:54,678 --> 00:14:58,205
Besides, I'll get sued.
I have a contract.
265
00:14:58,249 --> 00:15:00,945
The only way I get out of that
is if I get fired...
266
00:15:00,985 --> 00:15:04,113
and that is what I intend to do.
267
00:15:04,154 --> 00:15:06,748
You've seen my place
down at the clock tower.
268
00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:08,257
I've got a mortgage.
269
00:15:08,292 --> 00:15:10,419
All right, well,
I've got some work to do...
270
00:15:10,461 --> 00:15:13,589
so I will see you later.
271
00:15:13,631 --> 00:15:15,565
And you have a conference call.
Don't forget.
272
00:15:15,599 --> 00:15:17,794
2:00, yes.
273
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,241
Look, I know what I'm doing.
Follow me.
274
00:15:36,820 --> 00:15:38,378
Good morning, fellas.
275
00:15:38,422 --> 00:15:41,550
We're looking
for a Mr. Delapoint.
276
00:15:41,592 --> 00:15:43,389
There's no one here
by that name.
277
00:15:43,427 --> 00:15:45,759
Delapot, Delapoint,
Dela-something.
278
00:15:45,796 --> 00:15:48,560
De La Soul's not here, either.
Step outside.
279
00:15:48,599 --> 00:15:50,897
- Come on, Delacox.
- Off the premises.
280
00:15:50,935 --> 00:15:54,336
You know this guy.
We asking you a question.
281
00:15:54,371 --> 00:15:56,965
You can wash your ass
and brush your teeth.
282
00:15:57,007 --> 00:15:59,237
Whoa, whoa!
283
00:15:59,276 --> 00:16:01,870
Please. Hi, guys. Listen.
284
00:16:01,912 --> 00:16:05,075
These are associates
of Mr. Delacroix.
285
00:16:05,115 --> 00:16:06,139
So you know them?
286
00:16:06,183 --> 00:16:08,811
Yes, I do.
I know them very well.
287
00:16:08,852 --> 00:16:09,944
You need an escort?
288
00:16:09,987 --> 00:16:12,455
No, I got it. Thank you.
289
00:16:12,489 --> 00:16:14,116
Fellas, thank you.
290
00:16:14,158 --> 00:16:15,455
Sorry. We thought
they were from the street.
291
00:16:15,492 --> 00:16:16,925
You were just doing your job.
292
00:16:16,961 --> 00:16:19,191
Don't worry about a thing.
Thank you.
293
00:16:19,229 --> 00:16:20,594
Come on, inside.
294
00:16:20,631 --> 00:16:23,794
Hello. Wait a minute.
295
00:16:23,834 --> 00:16:26,667
Amos want to talk, too.
296
00:16:26,704 --> 00:16:29,264
All right.
297
00:16:29,306 --> 00:16:31,774
Good-bye, sweet dumplin'.
298
00:16:31,809 --> 00:16:34,573
The boy with
the egg-shaped head.
299
00:16:34,611 --> 00:16:37,478
I mean, wait a minute.
300
00:16:37,514 --> 00:16:41,245
Hello, honey.
301
00:16:41,285 --> 00:16:42,445
Enter!
302
00:16:42,486 --> 00:16:46,149
Pierre. Look who I found.
303
00:16:46,190 --> 00:16:50,889
Eureka!
I am so happy to see you cats.
304
00:16:50,928 --> 00:16:52,020
What's up, dude?
305
00:16:52,062 --> 00:16:53,290
Hey, what's up?
306
00:16:53,330 --> 00:16:56,697
You'd take no offense
if we call you Dela for short?
307
00:16:56,734 --> 00:16:58,361
None taken at all,
my friend.
308
00:16:58,402 --> 00:17:01,565
I have a concept
for a television pilot.
309
00:17:01,605 --> 00:17:05,234
Now, there's no guarantee
it will ever get made...
310
00:17:05,275 --> 00:17:09,006
but it is an opportunity for
you gentlemen to make some cash.
311
00:17:09,046 --> 00:17:10,536
How much?
312
00:17:10,581 --> 00:17:11,707
First things first, my friend.
313
00:17:11,749 --> 00:17:15,344
I need to know that
we are in sync creatively...
314
00:17:15,386 --> 00:17:18,184
and that Manray is up for this.
315
00:17:18,222 --> 00:17:20,247
Sure. What I got to do?
316
00:17:20,290 --> 00:17:24,192
You simply do what it is you do.
317
00:17:24,228 --> 00:17:26,253
And what you do best.
318
00:17:26,296 --> 00:17:27,422
Cool. Where do I sign?
319
00:17:27,464 --> 00:17:29,398
Whoa. "Where do I sign?"
320
00:17:29,433 --> 00:17:30,900
What kind of show is this?
321
00:17:30,934 --> 00:17:32,492
- Different.
- How different?
322
00:17:32,536 --> 00:17:35,528
Impactful, cutting edge...
323
00:17:35,572 --> 00:17:39,736
and it will incorporate both
of your very unique talents.
324
00:17:39,777 --> 00:17:41,870
Yes, and it's
a hell of a lot better...
325
00:17:41,912 --> 00:17:44,073
than tap-dancing
in the street for pennies.
326
00:17:44,114 --> 00:17:46,048
Trust us.
327
00:17:46,083 --> 00:17:49,211
I still have to pitch this
to my superiors...
328
00:17:49,253 --> 00:17:51,448
but either way,
we should know something soon.
329
00:17:51,488 --> 00:17:52,716
It sounds good to me.
330
00:17:52,756 --> 00:17:55,884
As long as I get to hoof,
we'll be getting some loot...
331
00:17:55,926 --> 00:17:57,052
Good, yo.
332
00:17:57,094 --> 00:17:59,892
Because we're trying
to get some income coming in.
333
00:17:59,930 --> 00:18:02,296
Money makes the wheels turn,
my friend.
334
00:18:02,332 --> 00:18:04,630
What about the meantime,
in-between time?
335
00:18:04,668 --> 00:18:06,761
I mean, you know, like...
336
00:18:06,804 --> 00:18:10,262
You're talking an advance.
That's done.
337
00:18:10,307 --> 00:18:11,433
OK.
338
00:18:11,475 --> 00:18:15,673
Now, there is one
other slight thing.
339
00:18:15,712 --> 00:18:18,579
I would like for you
to change your name...
340
00:18:18,615 --> 00:18:20,173
if you don't mind.
341
00:18:20,217 --> 00:18:22,185
Change my name to what?
342
00:18:22,219 --> 00:18:23,186
To what?
343
00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:25,415
Mantan.
344
00:18:28,225 --> 00:18:31,092
All right. Mantan.
It's cool.
345
00:18:31,128 --> 00:18:33,562
Like I told you,
as long as I'm hoofin'...
346
00:18:33,597 --> 00:18:36,327
and gettin' some loot,
I'm good, man.
347
00:18:36,366 --> 00:18:39,335
One thing.
Can I get some new kicks?
348
00:18:39,369 --> 00:18:41,098
And some new tap shoes?
349
00:18:41,138 --> 00:18:44,403
Yes, you could use those.
Sloan, new shoes.
350
00:18:44,441 --> 00:18:47,137
OK, new shoes.
351
00:18:47,177 --> 00:18:49,441
Let me get the whole
Hillnigger hookup, huh?
352
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,539
Some Hillnigger jeans?
353
00:18:51,582 --> 00:18:55,211
Definitely Mos Def.
354
00:18:55,252 --> 00:18:57,777
Some sweaters.
355
00:18:57,821 --> 00:18:59,686
Definitely some sweaters,
nothing fancy.
356
00:18:59,723 --> 00:19:02,692
Some cashmere, wool,
something like that.
357
00:19:02,726 --> 00:19:03,954
Cashmere, wool.
358
00:19:03,994 --> 00:19:06,292
Some underwear.
359
00:19:06,330 --> 00:19:10,630
Toothpaste. Toothbrush.
Deodorant.
360
00:19:10,667 --> 00:19:13,227
We have deodorant.
361
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:15,204
We might be able
to use some more, though.
362
00:19:15,239 --> 00:19:19,642
I think I have this
under control.
363
00:19:19,877 --> 00:19:21,902
Yes. OK.
364
00:19:21,945 --> 00:19:25,676
No. I understand completely.
365
00:19:25,716 --> 00:19:28,742
Yes, OK. Thank you, bye-bye.
366
00:19:28,785 --> 00:19:31,276
I've never had
a real pair before.
367
00:19:31,321 --> 00:19:32,788
Really? Wow.
368
00:19:32,823 --> 00:19:35,792
You never had any formal
training, either, have you?
369
00:19:35,826 --> 00:19:37,418
Not really.
370
00:19:37,461 --> 00:19:41,363
I picked up some steps
from older cats. Slyde, Chaney.
371
00:19:41,398 --> 00:19:43,525
But, you know,
most of the stuff, yeah.
372
00:19:43,567 --> 00:19:46,127
What's up with you and Dela?
373
00:19:46,170 --> 00:19:48,764
What do you mean,
"What's up with me and Pierre?"
374
00:19:48,805 --> 00:19:50,966
Y'all together?
375
00:19:51,008 --> 00:19:53,704
Y'all knocking boots?
376
00:19:53,744 --> 00:19:55,712
Knocking boots?
I don't think so.
377
00:19:55,746 --> 00:19:56,838
Never?
378
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,643
Never. Like I said...
379
00:19:58,682 --> 00:20:02,049
I was at NYU,
I got an internship.
380
00:20:02,085 --> 00:20:04,315
Pierre was very impressed
with my get-up-and-go...
381
00:20:04,354 --> 00:20:05,878
so he kept me as his assistant.
382
00:20:05,923 --> 00:20:10,189
I'm sure that was the only thing
he was impressed with.
383
00:20:10,227 --> 00:20:11,387
Yes.
384
00:20:11,428 --> 00:20:13,896
- You look beautiful like that.
- Thank you.
385
00:20:38,021 --> 00:20:39,579
Little sister.
386
00:20:41,391 --> 00:20:42,722
What are you doing here?
387
00:20:42,759 --> 00:20:44,590
I need bail money.
388
00:20:44,628 --> 00:20:46,926
- Again?
- Again.
389
00:20:46,964 --> 00:20:50,092
What's going on?
How you feeling?
390
00:20:50,133 --> 00:20:52,294
I'm doing good.
391
00:20:52,336 --> 00:20:54,429
It's good to see
your little sister...
392
00:20:54,471 --> 00:20:58,407
working hard for the man
on the plantation.
393
00:20:58,442 --> 00:21:01,843
Enough of the family reunion
in the middle of the street.
394
00:21:01,878 --> 00:21:03,641
Julius, what can I do for you?
395
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,171
Damn it, Sloan.
396
00:21:06,216 --> 00:21:09,276
Damn, man,
you can't keep doing that.
397
00:21:09,319 --> 00:21:11,651
It's not fresh.
No, I'm serious.
398
00:21:11,688 --> 00:21:13,315
It's not cute no more.
399
00:21:13,357 --> 00:21:15,757
You keep calling me by
the slave name our government--
400
00:21:15,792 --> 00:21:17,726
It's just disrespectful, man.
401
00:21:17,761 --> 00:21:22,460
I hope you don't think
I'll call you Big Black African.
402
00:21:22,499 --> 00:21:23,727
I do hope that.
403
00:21:23,767 --> 00:21:27,134
I would expect you call me
whatever name I chose.
404
00:21:27,170 --> 00:21:28,262
I'm not doing that.
405
00:21:28,305 --> 00:21:31,399
Mommy and Daddy
named you Julius...
406
00:21:31,441 --> 00:21:33,807
so that's what
I'm gonna call you.
407
00:21:33,844 --> 00:21:35,675
It ain't like it's disrespect
for Mommy and Daddy.
408
00:21:35,712 --> 00:21:38,340
It's about I got a name
that I chose for my soul.
409
00:21:38,382 --> 00:21:40,816
They named Muhammad Ali
Cassius Clay.
410
00:21:40,851 --> 00:21:42,842
You don't call him Cassius Clay.
It's a dis.
411
00:21:42,886 --> 00:21:46,549
You don't call El-Hajj Malik
Shabazz--Detroit Red.
412
00:21:46,590 --> 00:21:48,649
You don't call him
Malcolm Little. It's Malcolm X.
413
00:21:48,692 --> 00:21:51,320
You show respect.
Same thing with me, Sloan.
414
00:21:51,361 --> 00:21:53,454
It's easy.
I was born with one name...
415
00:21:53,497 --> 00:21:55,761
but I chose for myself
my own identity.
416
00:21:55,799 --> 00:21:58,495
Big Black Af.
Big Black Africa.
417
00:21:58,535 --> 00:22:00,002
It's real simple.
418
00:22:00,037 --> 00:22:03,097
It ain't like
I named myself... In Fufu.
419
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:05,665
You want me to hook up
you and the Mau Maus?
420
00:22:05,709 --> 00:22:09,543
Why would I hook up
some black, red, green...
421
00:22:09,579 --> 00:22:13,015
flag-waving
pseudo-revolutionaries?
422
00:22:13,050 --> 00:22:14,881
First, you done messed up
the colors first.
423
00:22:14,918 --> 00:22:16,476
What's the colors?
424
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,078
Damn,
it's red, black, and green.
425
00:22:18,121 --> 00:22:20,282
White people know
it's red, black, and green.
426
00:22:20,324 --> 00:22:23,953
And secondly,
why are we pseudo?
427
00:22:23,994 --> 00:22:27,794
If we was talking about some ice
and fuckin' Cristal...
428
00:22:27,831 --> 00:22:31,824
and pushin' Bentleys
and fuckin' pop mogul...
429
00:22:31,868 --> 00:22:33,563
then we would be the fly shit?
430
00:22:33,603 --> 00:22:37,300
You like that shit.
Bling blinging.
431
00:22:37,341 --> 00:22:40,936
Who or what
are you revolting against?
432
00:22:40,977 --> 00:22:42,945
What are you talking about
in all them songs?
433
00:22:42,979 --> 00:22:45,038
Mau Mau songs?
434
00:22:45,082 --> 00:22:46,379
Yeah, in the songs.
435
00:22:46,416 --> 00:22:49,817
Shit. We talking about
fuckin' revolution.
436
00:22:49,853 --> 00:22:52,583
We talkin' about
people gettin' free...
437
00:22:52,622 --> 00:22:54,556
the fuckin' America.
438
00:22:54,591 --> 00:22:57,287
USA, KKK, all that shit.
439
00:22:57,327 --> 00:22:59,022
This is the shit
we're revolting against.
440
00:22:59,062 --> 00:23:01,360
People's hearts
is all fucked up.
441
00:23:01,398 --> 00:23:03,161
People is stupid in their mind.
442
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,827
Please stop.
443
00:23:04,868 --> 00:23:08,497
Golly day, you sound stupid.
Retarded.
444
00:23:08,538 --> 00:23:09,562
I sound retarded, right?
445
00:23:09,606 --> 00:23:11,631
But fuckin' Master...
446
00:23:11,675 --> 00:23:13,939
That motherfucker
is a fuckin' millionaire...
447
00:23:13,977 --> 00:23:15,877
gruntin' on records.
That shit is crazy.
448
00:23:15,912 --> 00:23:18,403
If I had some platinum drawers,
I'd be the nigger, right?
449
00:23:18,448 --> 00:23:22,384
Know what you should just do?
Just introduce me.
450
00:23:22,419 --> 00:23:26,082
Word, him.
You should just let me meet him.
451
00:23:26,123 --> 00:23:29,718
Why in the world would he write
a show about the Mau Maus?
452
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,193
Shit.
453
00:23:31,228 --> 00:23:33,992
You know how many fucking--
454
00:23:34,030 --> 00:23:38,592
Aw, man.
The fuckin' Monkees had a show.
455
00:23:38,635 --> 00:23:41,399
The Partridge Family.
456
00:23:41,438 --> 00:23:44,271
Shit, if them motherfuckers
could have a show--
457
00:23:44,307 --> 00:23:46,867
They had demographics.
You don't.
458
00:23:46,910 --> 00:23:48,002
The Mau Maus?
459
00:23:48,044 --> 00:23:50,842
I'm telling you we got
a underground following.
460
00:23:50,881 --> 00:23:53,645
It ain't big,
but it's some small shit...
461
00:23:53,683 --> 00:23:57,744
that y'all could expand on
and help blow that shit up.
462
00:23:57,788 --> 00:23:59,278
Let me put it to you like this.
463
00:23:59,322 --> 00:24:04,316
If I ever decide to do
Brooklyn public television...
464
00:24:04,361 --> 00:24:06,329
I'll call you, but until then...
465
00:24:06,363 --> 00:24:08,888
I am not taking
you to my new job...
466
00:24:08,932 --> 00:24:12,060
where I am on the rise...
467
00:24:12,102 --> 00:24:15,970
and have you and your crew
blow up my spot.
468
00:24:16,006 --> 00:24:17,496
How is that
blowin' up your shit?
469
00:24:17,541 --> 00:24:21,910
Y'all are embarrassing. Period.
470
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,445
We're embarrassing?
471
00:24:25,482 --> 00:24:27,814
Y'all ignorant. Y'all ign'ant.
472
00:24:27,851 --> 00:24:29,648
Aw-ight, granted...
473
00:24:29,686 --> 00:24:32,814
I got a few niggers in my crew
got problems...
474
00:24:32,856 --> 00:24:35,347
Hard Black, he--
Niggers ain't perfect.
475
00:24:35,392 --> 00:24:37,622
You talkin' a hole in my head.
476
00:24:37,661 --> 00:24:39,925
I got stuff to do.
Let's wrap it up.
477
00:24:39,963 --> 00:24:43,160
That's fucked up, man.
It's embarrasin'.
478
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,430
Black folks been doin'
that shit to each other...
479
00:24:45,469 --> 00:24:48,905
for the last
400 fucking years, man.
480
00:24:48,939 --> 00:24:51,737
This is like some house-nigger
shit when you say that.
481
00:24:51,775 --> 00:24:53,242
Wait a minute.
482
00:24:53,276 --> 00:24:55,608
Don't go there.
That ain't what I said.
483
00:24:55,645 --> 00:24:57,977
Hold up.
484
00:24:58,014 --> 00:25:01,381
Julius, are you calling
your sister a house nigger?
485
00:25:01,418 --> 00:25:03,386
Sloan, that ain't what I said.
486
00:25:03,420 --> 00:25:04,682
I don't even know
why you tryin' to go there.
487
00:25:04,721 --> 00:25:07,246
Why don't you take
your field-nigger ass...
488
00:25:07,290 --> 00:25:08,723
up out my house-nigger house?
489
00:25:08,758 --> 00:25:12,285
You was just waitin'
to throw me out anyway.
490
00:25:12,329 --> 00:25:14,490
All right, Martin.
Just let me get some water.
491
00:25:14,531 --> 00:25:20,060
OK, get your water,
and then you... OK
492
00:25:20,103 --> 00:25:22,401
Dela, my man, I'm glad
you got your mind right.
493
00:25:22,439 --> 00:25:25,135
Well, it's right, tight,
and ready to delight.
494
00:25:25,175 --> 00:25:26,472
I'm with this.
495
00:25:26,510 --> 00:25:28,501
Mr. Dunwitty, please sit back...
496
00:25:28,545 --> 00:25:30,638
and allow me
to paint a picture.
497
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,377
I'm all ears,
and my nose is a close second.
498
00:25:34,417 --> 00:25:39,377
Now, I have been doing
a lot of soul-searching.
499
00:25:39,422 --> 00:25:41,583
And, once again, you're right.
500
00:25:41,625 --> 00:25:45,527
My previous work has been
all surface, superficial.
501
00:25:45,562 --> 00:25:46,824
It's a thing of the past.
502
00:25:46,863 --> 00:25:50,731
I've never really dug deep
into my pain as a Negro.
503
00:25:50,767 --> 00:25:53,258
Hey, those things are
hard to look at sometimes.
504
00:25:53,303 --> 00:25:54,998
Yes, yes, yes.
505
00:25:55,038 --> 00:25:57,165
And as Mark Twain
so fully understood...
506
00:25:57,207 --> 00:25:59,675
satire is the way...
507
00:25:59,709 --> 00:26:02,371
if we are ever to live
side by side...
508
00:26:02,412 --> 00:26:04,277
in peace and harmony.
509
00:26:04,314 --> 00:26:06,748
So, my show
that I am pitching...
510
00:26:06,783 --> 00:26:09,843
is about
promoting racial healing.
511
00:26:09,886 --> 00:26:13,219
Healing is great.
I like this. Give me more.
512
00:26:13,256 --> 00:26:16,191
Now, I know you are
familiar with minstrel shows.
513
00:26:16,226 --> 00:26:19,662
They came about in the 1840s.
514
00:26:19,696 --> 00:26:21,789
It was a variety show
in which the talent...
515
00:26:21,831 --> 00:26:24,231
was singing, dancing,
telling jokes, doing skits...
516
00:26:24,267 --> 00:26:25,825
like "In Living Color."
517
00:26:25,869 --> 00:26:27,393
Right, that was dope.
518
00:26:27,437 --> 00:26:30,338
I ask you,
when was the last time...
519
00:26:30,373 --> 00:26:33,433
there was a great variety show
on the air? Carol Burnett?
520
00:26:33,476 --> 00:26:34,704
Carol was the bomb, yo.
521
00:26:34,744 --> 00:26:37,736
"Hee Haw?" "Kenan and Kel?"
522
00:26:37,781 --> 00:26:39,908
Yo, that's
the stupidest shit on TV.
523
00:26:39,950 --> 00:26:42,510
So I say
let's take this form...
524
00:26:42,552 --> 00:26:45,783
this very American tradition
of entertainment...
525
00:26:45,822 --> 00:26:49,383
into the 21st century,
the new millennium.
526
00:26:49,426 --> 00:26:52,827
What's the name of this show?
We need something to sell.
527
00:26:52,862 --> 00:26:59,233
"Mantan: The New Millennium
Minstrel Show!"
528
00:26:59,269 --> 00:27:02,295
"Mantan: The New Millennium..."
529
00:27:02,339 --> 00:27:06,833
I really, really like this.
I'm gettin' a boner.
530
00:27:06,876 --> 00:27:09,743
The Swanson Johnson
is getting hard.
531
00:27:09,779 --> 00:27:12,873
You know what I'm saying?
I'm feelin' this shit.
532
00:27:12,916 --> 00:27:15,942
I like this.
No, give me more.
533
00:27:15,986 --> 00:27:18,682
It's gonna take a lot
of courage and backbone...
534
00:27:18,722 --> 00:27:21,919
on the part of CNS
to get this thing on the air.
535
00:27:21,958 --> 00:27:23,892
Don't worry about that.
That's my job.
536
00:27:23,927 --> 00:27:26,395
You just be the creative genius
you've proven you are.
537
00:27:26,429 --> 00:27:29,364
Now, who are we gonna
get to star in the show?
538
00:27:29,399 --> 00:27:31,526
Because we need a star
to carry the show.
539
00:27:31,568 --> 00:27:34,594
I mean, Whoopi--
can she sing and dance anymore?
540
00:27:34,638 --> 00:27:36,731
Can she get jiggy?
541
00:27:36,773 --> 00:27:40,231
Ms. Goldberg is the wrong way
to go with this thing.
542
00:27:40,276 --> 00:27:44,178
- Fuck her.
- We want fresh faces.
543
00:27:44,214 --> 00:27:46,546
New talent.
544
00:27:46,583 --> 00:27:47,811
Young blood.
545
00:27:47,851 --> 00:27:50,115
Sloan, enter!
546
00:27:51,821 --> 00:27:54,153
- Hello, Sloan.
- Hi.
547
00:27:54,190 --> 00:27:57,182
Gentlemen,
please, have a seat.
548
00:27:57,227 --> 00:28:00,162
How you doin', guys?
549
00:28:00,196 --> 00:28:03,165
Are these my two little stars
sitting in front of me? Mantan?
550
00:28:03,199 --> 00:28:06,327
That's me.
I always wanted to be on TV.
551
00:28:06,369 --> 00:28:07,563
Now's your shot, kid.
552
00:28:07,604 --> 00:28:10,402
And that is Sleep'n Eat.
553
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,898
- What's the name?
- Sleep and Eat.
554
00:28:13,943 --> 00:28:16,537
Sleep and motherfuckin' Eat.
555
00:28:16,579 --> 00:28:18,979
Oh, shit.
556
00:28:19,015 --> 00:28:21,381
Oh, shit.
557
00:28:21,418 --> 00:28:25,582
Mantan, Sleep'n Eat.
Two real coons.
558
00:28:25,622 --> 00:28:26,953
Keeping it real, baby.
559
00:28:26,990 --> 00:28:30,926
I know that this is out there,
but it is satire.
560
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,258
No, I want you
to take it out there.
561
00:28:33,296 --> 00:28:35,560
Let's swing for the bleachers
on this one.
562
00:28:35,598 --> 00:28:39,193
Every week, we follow
the trials and tribulations...
563
00:28:39,235 --> 00:28:41,635
of Mantan, Sleep'n Eat--
564
00:28:41,671 --> 00:28:44,572
two real coons, the Dusty Duo!
565
00:28:44,607 --> 00:28:46,040
What are their character traits?
566
00:28:46,076 --> 00:28:47,509
Ignorant.
567
00:28:47,544 --> 00:28:48,909
Dull-witted.
568
00:28:48,945 --> 00:28:52,972
Lazy. And unlucky!
569
00:28:53,016 --> 00:28:56,008
Exactly.
Exactly what I'm lookin' for.
570
00:28:56,052 --> 00:28:59,886
Mantan here
is the uneducated Negro...
571
00:28:59,923 --> 00:29:02,653
but with educated feets...
572
00:29:02,692 --> 00:29:06,389
who by some stroke
of unbelievable stupidity...
573
00:29:06,429 --> 00:29:09,455
always makes his best-laid plans
go haywire.
574
00:29:09,499 --> 00:29:11,729
Sleep'n Eat
is his comical sidekick?
575
00:29:11,768 --> 00:29:15,761
Yes. Who sings like Sammy.
576
00:29:15,805 --> 00:29:18,638
He can sing, too?
This is gonna be big.
577
00:29:18,675 --> 00:29:21,473
This could be bigger than
"Friends," "Ally McBeal"...
578
00:29:21,511 --> 00:29:23,411
even my boys "Amos 'n' Andy."
579
00:29:23,446 --> 00:29:26,347
Protests finally got
"Amos 'n' Andy" off the air...
580
00:29:26,382 --> 00:29:30,113
and that could very well happen
to a program like this one.
581
00:29:30,153 --> 00:29:32,986
Let 'em try.
582
00:29:33,022 --> 00:29:35,217
Black folks will be outraged.
583
00:29:35,258 --> 00:29:38,022
So what? We'll just give
the NAACP a little donation.
584
00:29:38,061 --> 00:29:40,427
I've dealt with those guys
before. Big deal.
585
00:29:40,463 --> 00:29:43,796
Where I come from, there's
no such thing as bad publicity.
586
00:29:43,833 --> 00:29:48,270
This is not about the NAACP.
587
00:29:48,304 --> 00:29:51,330
The content of the show is...
588
00:29:51,374 --> 00:29:54,138
It's just politically incorrect.
589
00:29:54,177 --> 00:29:56,611
Who wants to be P.C.
these days anyway?
590
00:29:56,646 --> 00:29:59,809
A couple of minutes,
you'll go singing and dancing...
591
00:29:59,849 --> 00:30:02,875
shucking and jiving,
good fun home entertainment.
592
00:30:02,919 --> 00:30:04,352
Exactly.
593
00:30:04,387 --> 00:30:07,948
Let me ask you,
who are the other characters?
594
00:30:07,991 --> 00:30:10,551
You got characters developed?
It can't just be these two.
595
00:30:10,593 --> 00:30:14,256
We have
three-dimensional characters.
596
00:30:14,297 --> 00:30:16,492
How about Honeycutt?
597
00:30:16,533 --> 00:30:19,058
Topsy? Rastus?
598
00:30:19,102 --> 00:30:21,468
Little Nigger Jim?
599
00:30:21,504 --> 00:30:23,404
And Sambo?
600
00:30:23,439 --> 00:30:27,773
And I would be remiss
to not mention Aunt Jemima.
601
00:30:31,147 --> 00:30:34,014
Aunt Jemima's
gonna rock the doo-rag, right?
602
00:30:34,050 --> 00:30:35,915
This is gonna be crazy shit.
603
00:30:35,952 --> 00:30:38,011
We're gonna hit 'em with
the bomb-diggity on this one.
604
00:30:38,054 --> 00:30:39,988
Now, what's the setting?
605
00:30:40,023 --> 00:30:42,116
The projects.
606
00:30:42,158 --> 00:30:44,524
No. That's your first bad move.
607
00:30:44,561 --> 00:30:46,153
That's the problem
with everything today.
608
00:30:46,196 --> 00:30:49,495
TVs, movies, hip-hop
all takes place in the hood...
609
00:30:49,532 --> 00:30:51,796
and everybody wants to bust
a cap in a motherfucker.
610
00:30:51,835 --> 00:30:53,735
That's not
what we're gonna do here.
611
00:30:53,770 --> 00:30:55,203
No gold teeth,
none of that shit.
612
00:30:55,238 --> 00:30:56,432
Check this out.
613
00:30:56,472 --> 00:31:00,067
"Mantan's New Millennium
"Minstrel Show"...
614
00:31:00,109 --> 00:31:02,976
takes place on a plantation.
615
00:31:03,012 --> 00:31:04,502
Check this out.
616
00:31:04,547 --> 00:31:07,846
Every week, these two
Alabama porch monkeys...
617
00:31:07,884 --> 00:31:10,910
they're gonna make us laugh,
make us cry...
618
00:31:10,954 --> 00:31:13,149
they'll make us
feel good to be Americans.
619
00:31:13,189 --> 00:31:14,383
You know what?
620
00:31:14,424 --> 00:31:18,019
The Alabama porch monkey
plantation shit is wrong.
621
00:31:18,061 --> 00:31:21,030
OK, let's cut it.
622
00:31:21,064 --> 00:31:22,622
It should be
a watermelon patch.
623
00:31:22,665 --> 00:31:23,723
What?
624
00:31:23,766 --> 00:31:26,997
I like watermelon.
It's good for you, too.
625
00:31:27,036 --> 00:31:28,060
Have you lost your mind?
626
00:31:28,104 --> 00:31:30,299
Do you know
how much mail we will get?
627
00:31:30,340 --> 00:31:35,039
Exactly! There will be nothing
else like it on television!
628
00:31:35,078 --> 00:31:36,477
Now, let me ask you
a question, Mantan.
629
00:31:36,512 --> 00:31:39,106
How do you feel about performing
just a little blackface?
630
00:31:39,148 --> 00:31:41,878
Whoa. In what?
631
00:31:41,918 --> 00:31:44,216
It's makeup.
It'll lend authenticity.
632
00:31:44,254 --> 00:31:46,654
It's cool, man.
I'm black, right?
633
00:31:46,689 --> 00:31:48,782
As long as the hoofin' is real.
634
00:31:48,825 --> 00:31:51,521
Motherfucker, you light-skinned.
You gonna listen--
635
00:31:51,561 --> 00:31:53,256
Sleep'n Eat,
you're just keeping it real.
636
00:31:53,296 --> 00:31:54,558
My name is Womack.
637
00:31:54,597 --> 00:31:57,998
You want to show me
a little something-something?
638
00:31:58,034 --> 00:32:00,059
Can I test out the waters here?
639
00:32:00,103 --> 00:32:02,071
- Yes, you may.
- This is bizarre.
640
00:32:02,105 --> 00:32:06,098
Delacroix, my motherfucker,
you dug deep.
641
00:32:06,142 --> 00:32:08,872
You dug deeper than deep,
my man.
642
00:32:08,912 --> 00:32:10,777
To my loins.
643
00:32:10,813 --> 00:32:11,973
That's what I'm saying.
644
00:32:12,015 --> 00:32:14,950
- Here, take my seat.
- Cool.
645
00:32:14,984 --> 00:32:17,043
How you want it? Raw?
646
00:32:17,086 --> 00:32:18,815
Flash? You want rhythm?
647
00:32:18,855 --> 00:32:21,221
I want it raw dawg
without a bag, baby.
648
00:32:21,257 --> 00:32:23,054
Let me see you do your thing.
649
00:32:23,092 --> 00:32:25,720
I mean, keep it real.
Just keep it real.
650
00:32:25,762 --> 00:32:28,026
Bust a move. Hop on up there.
651
00:32:28,064 --> 00:32:30,362
Raw dawg without a bag.
652
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,424
Be careful, man.
653
00:33:05,702 --> 00:33:07,670
This kid is off the hook!
654
00:33:07,704 --> 00:33:10,229
This kid is off the hinges, yo!
655
00:33:10,273 --> 00:33:14,175
That's what I'm talking about!
656
00:33:14,210 --> 00:33:17,873
Mantan!
Yo, we're gonna get paid!
657
00:33:17,914 --> 00:33:19,745
I'm about to go
run upstairs with this.
658
00:33:19,782 --> 00:33:25,118
If CNS doesn't have the balls,
somebody else will.
659
00:33:25,154 --> 00:33:27,088
My beautiful black princess.
660
00:33:27,123 --> 00:33:29,887
Delacroix!
661
00:33:29,926 --> 00:33:32,394
Yes, go do your little dirt.
662
00:33:32,428 --> 00:33:33,690
We in!
663
00:33:33,730 --> 00:33:36,563
Well...
664
00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:39,762
I think he bought it.
665
00:33:39,802 --> 00:33:41,201
This is some bullshit.
666
00:33:41,404 --> 00:33:43,099
The name of this shit
right here...
667
00:33:43,139 --> 00:33:44,800
What's that, dawg?
668
00:33:44,841 --> 00:33:47,332
"Black is Black."
669
00:33:47,377 --> 00:33:48,969
It's hot.
670
00:33:49,012 --> 00:33:50,809
Now, that's some thinking.
671
00:33:50,847 --> 00:33:53,907
That's some shit
right there, dawg.
672
00:33:53,950 --> 00:33:56,384
Y'all like that shit?
673
00:33:56,419 --> 00:33:59,411
The name of the album
is "The Black Album."
674
00:33:59,455 --> 00:34:01,389
You know what I'm sayin'?
675
00:34:03,893 --> 00:34:05,724
That's the motherfuckin' way.
676
00:34:05,762 --> 00:34:10,961
"Black is Black"
on the fuckin' "Black Album."
677
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,401
Yo, but for real, though,
we ain't never conformed...
678
00:34:14,437 --> 00:34:16,029
to none of
the white man's rules.
679
00:34:16,072 --> 00:34:17,972
Fuck them motherfuckers.
680
00:34:18,007 --> 00:34:19,133
Know what I'm saying?
681
00:34:19,175 --> 00:34:22,008
Later for that
old slave owner Webster.
682
00:34:22,045 --> 00:34:24,605
So I'm sayin', Big Black,
you know what I mean?
683
00:34:24,647 --> 00:34:27,207
I respectively submit,
you know what I'm saying?
684
00:34:27,250 --> 00:34:30,913
That we from here on,
henceforth and whatnot...
685
00:34:30,953 --> 00:34:35,151
should spell "Black" B-l-a-k...
686
00:34:35,191 --> 00:34:37,785
not b-l-a-c-k,
you know what I'm sayin'?
687
00:34:37,827 --> 00:34:39,522
Respectfully now.
688
00:34:39,562 --> 00:34:40,790
I'm feeling that.
689
00:34:40,830 --> 00:34:43,993
That's why you got to keep
the wisdoms around, man.
690
00:34:44,033 --> 00:34:48,868
B-l-a-k, man.
Blak the opposite of white, man.
691
00:34:48,905 --> 00:34:51,965
Like a member
of the African community.
692
00:34:52,008 --> 00:34:53,600
'Cause you know
how them gray people...
693
00:34:53,643 --> 00:34:55,736
been tryin' to trick us
with they slickery?
694
00:34:55,778 --> 00:34:58,406
Because of they trickery.
695
00:34:58,448 --> 00:35:00,609
Peep the connotations of that.
696
00:35:00,650 --> 00:35:02,208
It's, like, Blak...
697
00:35:02,251 --> 00:35:03,616
Angry
698
00:35:03,653 --> 00:35:04,677
Dark
699
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:05,914
Sullen
700
00:35:05,955 --> 00:35:07,081
Depressed
701
00:35:07,123 --> 00:35:08,613
Wicked
702
00:35:08,658 --> 00:35:09,818
Blackball
703
00:35:09,859 --> 00:35:10,826
Blacklisted
704
00:35:10,860 --> 00:35:12,327
Black cat is bad luck
705
00:35:12,361 --> 00:35:13,760
Bad guys wear black
706
00:35:13,796 --> 00:35:15,889
Must have been a white guy
that started all that
707
00:35:15,932 --> 00:35:18,332
You know what I mean?
708
00:35:18,367 --> 00:35:22,167
Mau Mau Crew!
709
00:35:22,205 --> 00:35:23,331
I don't even know...
710
00:35:23,372 --> 00:35:25,237
why they put the "C"
in there to begin with.
711
00:35:25,274 --> 00:35:27,640
Ain't even fuckin'
pronounced in that shit.
712
00:35:27,677 --> 00:35:29,372
I love all
of y'all niggas, man.
713
00:35:29,412 --> 00:35:30,572
Mau Mau Crew!
714
00:35:30,613 --> 00:35:32,444
To' up!
715
00:35:33,449 --> 00:35:35,781
This is Mantan Moreland.
716
00:35:35,818 --> 00:35:38,946
This is one of his most popular
films--"The Lucky Ghost."
717
00:35:38,988 --> 00:35:41,752
It was from the 1940s.
718
00:35:41,791 --> 00:35:45,249
He was such a clown.
719
00:35:45,294 --> 00:35:47,626
A bit of a buffoon,
but very funny.
720
00:35:47,663 --> 00:35:49,790
That ain't funny.
721
00:35:49,832 --> 00:35:51,459
Now, what is this?
722
00:35:51,501 --> 00:35:53,799
How does he
make his eyes do that?
723
00:35:53,836 --> 00:35:55,736
He was gifted.
724
00:35:55,771 --> 00:36:00,834
Gentlemen, the show,
our show is satirical.
725
00:36:00,877 --> 00:36:02,538
You know what that means?
726
00:36:02,578 --> 00:36:05,411
That means
we are poking fun of this.
727
00:36:05,448 --> 00:36:09,316
Our aim is to destroy
these stereotypes.
728
00:36:09,352 --> 00:36:13,550
I've put together
these two portfolios...
729
00:36:13,589 --> 00:36:15,489
full of pictures and articles...
730
00:36:15,525 --> 00:36:17,755
everything you need to know
about a minstrel show.
731
00:36:19,829 --> 00:36:23,424
Whoa, wait. Wait a minute.
732
00:36:23,466 --> 00:36:25,832
We gonna need
a little more money for this.
733
00:36:25,868 --> 00:36:29,304
Come on. "Ten Little Niggers?"
734
00:36:29,338 --> 00:36:30,999
You get more money.
735
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,372
Mantan in a chicken suit?
736
00:36:33,409 --> 00:36:35,468
Mantan!
737
00:36:35,511 --> 00:36:38,378
Come on, Mantan.
738
00:36:38,414 --> 00:36:40,348
Let's study this material.
739
00:36:40,383 --> 00:36:41,611
Study hard, gentlemen.
740
00:36:41,651 --> 00:36:43,710
You look great
in those Hillnigger jeans.
741
00:36:45,721 --> 00:36:48,554
That motherfucker crazy, man.
742
00:36:48,591 --> 00:36:51,560
The good Reverend
Dr. Martin Luther King...
743
00:36:51,594 --> 00:36:56,156
did not enjoy seeing his people
beaten on the 6:00 news.
744
00:36:56,199 --> 00:36:58,827
However, white America
needed to see that...
745
00:36:58,868 --> 00:37:01,598
in order to move
this country to change.
746
00:37:01,637 --> 00:37:05,334
They need to see this show
for that exact same reason.
747
00:37:10,046 --> 00:37:14,005
I'm gonna trust you know
what you're doing, Pierre.
748
00:37:14,050 --> 00:37:16,416
That's my little lamb.
749
00:37:16,619 --> 00:37:18,553
I'd like to begin
this meeting...
750
00:37:18,588 --> 00:37:22,957
by saying I am a fair person.
A straight shooter.
751
00:37:22,992 --> 00:37:25,984
I do not hold my tongue.
752
00:37:26,028 --> 00:37:28,997
So I must tell you this,
that I had nothing to do...
753
00:37:29,031 --> 00:37:31,898
with any of you being hired.
754
00:37:31,934 --> 00:37:33,629
If I had my druthers...
755
00:37:33,669 --> 00:37:36,297
there'd be at least
one Negro writer in this room...
756
00:37:36,339 --> 00:37:42,141
and that afro does not
qualify you, my Jewish friend.
757
00:37:42,178 --> 00:37:46,547
Having said that, I would like
to open the floor...
758
00:37:46,582 --> 00:37:49,107
to some of your questions
and comments.
759
00:37:49,151 --> 00:37:50,812
Look, I agree with you.
760
00:37:50,853 --> 00:37:53,686
It would be better to have
some African-American writers...
761
00:37:53,723 --> 00:37:56,624
but, for whatever reason,
they're not here.
762
00:37:56,659 --> 00:38:00,493
Maybe they couldn't find
any people with experience.
763
00:38:00,529 --> 00:38:02,724
Or they wouldn't work
for the pay...
764
00:38:02,765 --> 00:38:06,462
or they refused
to work on the show.
765
00:38:06,502 --> 00:38:11,269
Or put their crack pipes down
long enough to apply.
766
00:38:11,307 --> 00:38:12,433
Pierre, I don't know--
767
00:38:12,475 --> 00:38:15,171
Mr. Delacroix.
You don't know...
768
00:38:15,211 --> 00:38:17,202
Mr. Delacroix, I don't know...
769
00:38:17,246 --> 00:38:19,271
and I don't think
anybody here does know...
770
00:38:19,315 --> 00:38:23,046
but what I do know is this
will be a unique experience.
771
00:38:23,085 --> 00:38:27,181
I am a damn good writer
and I'm ready to go to work.
772
00:38:30,626 --> 00:38:33,254
Thank you for rallying
the troops, Peter.
773
00:38:33,296 --> 00:38:36,322
I've always loved the format
of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In."
774
00:38:36,365 --> 00:38:38,697
"Sock it to me."
775
00:38:38,734 --> 00:38:40,759
Or Pigmeat Markham.
776
00:38:40,803 --> 00:38:43,704
"Here come the judge."
777
00:38:43,739 --> 00:38:45,832
We should look back
at those Seventies shows...
778
00:38:45,875 --> 00:38:47,866
which were groundbreaking.
779
00:38:47,910 --> 00:38:49,639
I'm from lowa,
as you all know...
780
00:38:49,679 --> 00:38:53,115
and my first experience
of the black...
781
00:38:53,149 --> 00:38:55,174
people of col--Africa...
782
00:38:55,217 --> 00:38:58,311
is shows like "The Jeffersons."
783
00:38:58,354 --> 00:39:02,188
George and "Weezy!"
784
00:39:02,224 --> 00:39:04,920
Better than "The Jeffersons."
"Good Times."
785
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,895
"Kid Dy-no-mite!"
786
00:39:07,930 --> 00:39:09,727
The whole J.J. Thing.
787
00:39:09,765 --> 00:39:12,666
I think--and Delacroix
will agree with me...
788
00:39:12,702 --> 00:39:15,398
that the politics of
this show have to be right.
789
00:39:15,438 --> 00:39:17,963
This show we are doing
is a minstrel show...
790
00:39:18,007 --> 00:39:22,967
which is blackface, tap dancing,
singing sketches.
791
00:39:23,012 --> 00:39:24,946
You're putting
white actors in blackface?
792
00:39:24,980 --> 00:39:26,038
No, my dear.
793
00:39:26,082 --> 00:39:30,212
We are using black actors
with blacker faces.
794
00:39:30,252 --> 00:39:32,447
Don't you think people
will be offended by this?
795
00:39:32,488 --> 00:39:34,752
Yes, that's good.
I want them to be offended.
796
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:36,155
I want to wake America up.
797
00:39:36,192 --> 00:39:40,686
Even though the material
will be somewhat offensive...
798
00:39:40,730 --> 00:39:44,564
there is definitely
a social message...
799
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,297
that we should focus on...
800
00:39:48,337 --> 00:39:50,567
when writing the material.
801
00:39:50,606 --> 00:39:52,665
We're gonna need some big stars.
802
00:39:52,708 --> 00:39:56,200
No, no, no.
You're gonna have a hard time...
803
00:39:56,245 --> 00:39:58,543
getting a big star
to wear blackface...
804
00:39:58,581 --> 00:40:00,913
because they become invisible.
805
00:40:00,950 --> 00:40:03,748
So, I mean, to ask Denzel...
806
00:40:03,786 --> 00:40:05,913
to put on blackface is foolish.
807
00:40:05,955 --> 00:40:07,946
You been took!
808
00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:10,686
You been hoodwinked.
Bamboozled.
809
00:40:10,726 --> 00:40:14,560
Now, I know that it may be hard
for some of you...
810
00:40:14,597 --> 00:40:19,261
Iiberal-minded good white folks
to write offensive material...
811
00:40:19,301 --> 00:40:24,000
yet I want you
to tap into your white angst.
812
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:27,702
I want you to go back
to the O.J. Simpson verdict.
813
00:40:27,743 --> 00:40:30,576
I want you to deal
with those emotions.
814
00:40:30,613 --> 00:40:34,481
How did you feel
when the glove didn't fit?
815
00:40:34,517 --> 00:40:37,111
It was ridiculous.
Cochran played the race card.
816
00:40:37,153 --> 00:40:38,484
The man is a murderer.
817
00:40:38,521 --> 00:40:40,580
If it had been a white man...
818
00:40:40,623 --> 00:40:42,648
The mission was accomplished.
819
00:40:42,691 --> 00:40:44,955
All of these people
left the room thinking...
820
00:40:44,994 --> 00:40:46,928
they would have real input.
821
00:40:46,962 --> 00:40:53,526
I was writing this pilot alone,
myself, me, moi.
822
00:40:53,569 --> 00:40:54,934
after the verdict.
823
00:40:54,970 --> 00:40:57,097
I want you
to put yourself there...
824
00:40:57,139 --> 00:41:01,303
and this is your time to purge
all those feelings.
825
00:41:01,343 --> 00:41:02,833
This is a family show?
826
00:41:02,878 --> 00:41:06,405
A family show that takes place
in a watermelon patch.
827
00:41:06,449 --> 00:41:08,644
What?
828
00:41:08,984 --> 00:41:11,953
We're auditioning
for a house band for the show.
829
00:41:11,987 --> 00:41:15,115
The name of the group
is the Alabama Porch Monkeys.
830
00:41:15,157 --> 00:41:17,591
Do we have a problem,
any concerns with that?
831
00:41:17,626 --> 00:41:18,593
No, sir.
832
00:41:18,627 --> 00:41:22,290
Please, let us hear
some of your funk.
833
00:41:22,331 --> 00:41:24,322
Barefoot and pregnant
834
00:41:40,182 --> 00:41:41,877
Let me take it to the bridge
835
00:41:41,917 --> 00:41:43,646
Here we go
836
00:41:43,686 --> 00:41:46,678
You're barefoot
837
00:41:46,722 --> 00:41:48,553
Barefoot and pregnant
838
00:41:55,164 --> 00:41:57,428
Barefoot and pregnant
839
00:41:58,734 --> 00:42:00,634
She's barefoot and pregnant
840
00:42:00,669 --> 00:42:03,570
This was amazing.
841
00:42:03,606 --> 00:42:06,905
One small ad in "Backstage"...
842
00:42:06,942 --> 00:42:10,207
had Negroes lined up
around the block.
843
00:42:14,083 --> 00:42:18,349
Were people really
this desperate to get work?
844
00:42:18,387 --> 00:42:20,355
Apparently so.
845
00:42:20,389 --> 00:42:22,084
I'll be smackin' them hos
846
00:42:22,124 --> 00:42:24,558
I'll be smackin' my hos
847
00:42:24,593 --> 00:42:28,256
Everyone knows it goes,
kick 'em to the floor
848
00:42:28,297 --> 00:42:30,595
Step on 'em hard,
step on 'em hard
849
00:42:30,633 --> 00:42:33,693
Kick 'em to the floor,
'cause l
850
00:42:33,736 --> 00:42:35,931
I be smackin' my hos
851
00:42:35,971 --> 00:42:38,098
I be smackin' my hos
852
00:42:38,140 --> 00:42:41,075
I be smackin' my hos
853
00:42:41,110 --> 00:42:43,078
- Thank you.
- Next!
854
00:43:06,235 --> 00:43:08,362
Thank you. Thank you.
855
00:43:10,172 --> 00:43:12,140
That was great. Please...
856
00:43:12,174 --> 00:43:14,642
That was great. Fantastic.
857
00:43:14,677 --> 00:43:15,939
Thank you.
858
00:43:15,978 --> 00:43:17,468
What is your background?
859
00:43:17,513 --> 00:43:20,573
I'm a actor. You know, I act.
860
00:43:20,616 --> 00:43:22,709
What is the last thing
I might have seen you in?
861
00:43:22,751 --> 00:43:24,446
I act on my job all the time.
862
00:43:24,486 --> 00:43:27,922
Can you give me
a little performance?
863
00:43:27,957 --> 00:43:30,585
I do all sorts
of kind of things, man.
864
00:43:30,626 --> 00:43:31,957
Whatever you need me to do.
865
00:43:31,994 --> 00:43:33,985
I even do Shakespeare shit.
866
00:43:34,029 --> 00:43:35,496
Do some Shakespeare.
867
00:43:35,531 --> 00:43:37,692
To be or not to be, you know?
868
00:43:37,733 --> 00:43:39,633
That's the motherfuckin'
question.
869
00:43:39,668 --> 00:43:44,128
You know, that is
the motherfuckin' question.
870
00:43:44,173 --> 00:43:48,576
And, well, you know,
like in "Hamlet"...
871
00:43:48,611 --> 00:43:51,273
there's a scene
where this brother was--
872
00:43:51,313 --> 00:43:53,508
Laertes was asking the king...
873
00:43:53,549 --> 00:43:55,312
that he wanted
to go to Paris and shit.
874
00:43:55,351 --> 00:43:58,252
The king asked his daddy,
and his daddy say...
875
00:43:58,287 --> 00:44:05,921
"He hath, my lord, wrung from me
by laboursome petition..."
876
00:44:05,961 --> 00:44:08,862
Was there any more to it,
or that was pretty much...
877
00:44:08,897 --> 00:44:11,889
Basically he was saying
let that motherfucker go.
878
00:44:11,934 --> 00:44:13,834
Let him go, you know.
879
00:44:13,869 --> 00:44:16,133
I was working on this piece,
'cause I was sitting there...
880
00:44:16,171 --> 00:44:19,902
I realize that
when I was looking at it...
881
00:44:19,942 --> 00:44:24,038
Niggas is a beautiful thing.
You know?
882
00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:25,307
Write that down.
883
00:44:25,347 --> 00:44:27,941
And so it came to me.
884
00:44:27,983 --> 00:44:30,042
It just came to me, you know?
885
00:44:30,085 --> 00:44:33,248
Waste away your life and linger
886
00:44:34,957 --> 00:44:37,517
Sittin' at home
watchin' Jerry Springer
887
00:44:39,728 --> 00:44:42,458
You do blackface
and a monkeyshine
888
00:44:45,167 --> 00:44:47,533
And cut a "G" at the same time
889
00:44:49,138 --> 00:44:52,301
'Cause niggas
is a beautiful thang
890
00:44:52,341 --> 00:44:54,775
Niggas is a beautiful thang,
hit me
891
00:44:54,810 --> 00:44:57,335
Niggas is a beautiful thang
892
00:44:57,379 --> 00:45:00,246
Then the audience would be
gettin' in with that.
893
00:45:00,282 --> 00:45:03,740
I'm digging that.
I am so digging that.
894
00:45:03,786 --> 00:45:06,880
"Niggas is a beautiful thing."
895
00:45:06,922 --> 00:45:08,219
I got it here.
896
00:45:08,257 --> 00:45:10,122
Then it get into a gospel thing.
897
00:45:10,159 --> 00:45:11,820
Stand up
898
00:45:11,860 --> 00:45:13,555
If you a nigga
899
00:45:13,595 --> 00:45:16,723
'Cause, you know,
it's about keeping it real.
900
00:45:16,765 --> 00:45:18,357
I'm feeling you.
901
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,699
We are ready if you are ready
902
00:45:21,737 --> 00:45:24,205
Mau Mau 'bout
to set shit off, say
903
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,231
We are ready if you are ready
904
00:45:27,276 --> 00:45:29,836
Mau Mau 'bout
to break shit off, say
905
00:45:29,878 --> 00:45:33,075
We are ready if you are ready
906
00:45:33,115 --> 00:45:34,912
Mau Mau, break it down,
a roll call
907
00:45:34,950 --> 00:45:36,349
- Who are you?
- Hard Blak
908
00:45:36,385 --> 00:45:37,784
Smooth Blak
909
00:45:37,820 --> 00:45:39,219
Mo Blak
910
00:45:39,254 --> 00:45:40,619
Your baby daddy
911
00:45:40,656 --> 00:45:41,850
Double Blak
912
00:45:41,890 --> 00:45:44,120
1/16th
913
00:45:44,159 --> 00:45:45,319
I'm Big Blak,
and I just lay back
914
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,793
Now, who are we?
915
00:45:46,829 --> 00:45:48,888
Mau Mau, M-a-u, M-a-u
916
00:45:48,931 --> 00:45:50,796
Drop inside
917
00:45:50,833 --> 00:45:51,800
Born to roll
918
00:45:51,834 --> 00:45:53,324
Yeah.
919
00:45:58,841 --> 00:46:01,002
It be about fuckin' freedom
920
00:46:01,043 --> 00:46:02,840
Reparation and apology
921
00:46:02,878 --> 00:46:05,005
The Africa to America odyssey
922
00:46:05,047 --> 00:46:07,072
Guerilla-type tactics on it
923
00:46:07,116 --> 00:46:09,016
Socialistic fallacies
924
00:46:09,051 --> 00:46:11,815
It be about the devastation
of thought
925
00:46:11,854 --> 00:46:13,754
To keep a brown man down, sport
926
00:46:13,789 --> 00:46:15,518
The one you keep buying,
that wretched set
927
00:46:15,557 --> 00:46:17,548
You're lucky
I ain't read wretched yet
928
00:46:17,593 --> 00:46:19,424
It's fucked up
929
00:46:19,461 --> 00:46:22,259
It's Big Blak,
Mr. Chairman of the Mau Mau
930
00:46:22,297 --> 00:46:24,788
I hear it well
in all-black surround sound
931
00:46:24,833 --> 00:46:27,267
Barricaded till you
can't move around now
932
00:46:27,302 --> 00:46:29,827
Doin' the super Klan,
it ain't around now
933
00:46:29,872 --> 00:46:32,568
Buried six feet deep
beneath the ground now
934
00:46:32,608 --> 00:46:35,634
Pull out, bow down
935
00:46:35,677 --> 00:46:37,611
Foot lies in the ground now
936
00:46:37,646 --> 00:46:38,613
Shake it down
937
00:46:38,647 --> 00:46:41,514
M-a-u, M-a-u on fire
938
00:46:41,550 --> 00:46:43,484
Black is back
939
00:46:43,519 --> 00:46:44,781
What's black?
940
00:46:44,820 --> 00:46:46,378
Black move to increase
the black cause
941
00:46:46,421 --> 00:46:47,683
What's black?
942
00:46:47,723 --> 00:46:49,122
Shade of the universe
943
00:46:49,158 --> 00:46:51,251
Mau Mau got the time,
born to roll
944
00:46:51,293 --> 00:46:54,194
Hard Blak, born to roll
945
00:46:54,229 --> 00:46:56,595
Mo Blak, born to roll
946
00:46:56,632 --> 00:46:59,032
Mau Mau, born to roll
947
00:46:59,067 --> 00:47:00,864
Back from
the motherfuckin' forest
948
00:47:00,903 --> 00:47:02,165
Born to roll
949
00:47:02,204 --> 00:47:04,035
Born to roll
950
00:47:04,072 --> 00:47:07,041
Aw-ight, cut that off.
951
00:47:07,075 --> 00:47:08,508
Cut that off.
952
00:47:08,544 --> 00:47:10,307
Cut that off, cut that off!
953
00:47:10,345 --> 00:47:12,711
Yo, cut that shit off
before I come up there!
954
00:47:12,748 --> 00:47:14,545
Cut the fuckin' sound off!
955
00:47:14,583 --> 00:47:16,141
Needless to say...
956
00:47:16,185 --> 00:47:20,952
the Mau Maus did not fit
into our plans.
957
00:47:20,989 --> 00:47:22,923
As I told Sloan...
958
00:47:22,958 --> 00:47:25,483
"There's a black sheep
in every family."
959
00:47:25,527 --> 00:47:27,654
- It's frightening.
- It should be.
960
00:47:27,696 --> 00:47:30,426
I don't want anything
to do with anything black...
961
00:47:30,465 --> 00:47:32,194
for at least a week.
962
00:47:37,673 --> 00:47:40,403
For the love of Mary and Joseph!
963
00:47:43,545 --> 00:47:46,844
I will not be held responsible
for these revisions.
964
00:47:46,882 --> 00:47:49,783
These changes are not the way
I want to go with this show.
965
00:47:49,818 --> 00:47:52,844
This is an outrage,
a sham, a violation...
966
00:47:52,888 --> 00:47:54,583
a debacle, a mockery.
967
00:47:54,623 --> 00:47:56,682
Will you just calm down, please?
968
00:47:56,725 --> 00:47:58,249
In Finland, we get upset--
969
00:47:58,293 --> 00:48:00,591
I don't give a good goddamn
what they do in Finland...
970
00:48:00,629 --> 00:48:02,221
Sweden, Norway,
or wherever the hell...
971
00:48:02,264 --> 00:48:04,596
your young, dumb,
blond white ass is from.
972
00:48:04,633 --> 00:48:07,227
We just punched it up.
Made it funnier.
973
00:48:07,269 --> 00:48:09,999
Funnier to whom?
And at whose expense?
974
00:48:10,038 --> 00:48:13,371
Mr. Dunwitty,
when the Negroes run amok...
975
00:48:13,408 --> 00:48:15,273
and the boycotts commence...
976
00:48:15,310 --> 00:48:17,141
I'm going to personally give
the Reverend Al Sharpton...
977
00:48:17,179 --> 00:48:18,669
your home address.
978
00:48:18,714 --> 00:48:21,239
I seriously doubt
that will ever happen.
979
00:48:21,283 --> 00:48:22,750
I know your people
better than you.
980
00:48:22,784 --> 00:48:24,911
Look at all
the brothers on the wall.
981
00:48:24,953 --> 00:48:29,447
And if Reverend Al "Do" Sharpton
shows up at my door...
982
00:48:29,491 --> 00:48:31,356
I'll invite him in,
and we'll have a sit-down...
983
00:48:31,393 --> 00:48:34,453
and discuss it
like civil human beings.
984
00:48:34,496 --> 00:48:36,259
Really?
985
00:48:36,298 --> 00:48:38,926
Now, can you not interrupt me
while I'm discussing...
986
00:48:38,967 --> 00:48:41,367
the visual style and tone
of the show, please?
987
00:48:41,403 --> 00:48:43,394
What were you saying, Jukka?
988
00:48:52,147 --> 00:48:53,273
How y'all doin'?
989
00:48:54,616 --> 00:48:55,878
Let me hear you!
990
00:48:55,918 --> 00:48:57,476
Thank you! Thank you!
991
00:48:57,519 --> 00:48:58,952
I love you so much.
992
00:48:58,987 --> 00:49:01,854
Whoa, I like this.
993
00:49:01,890 --> 00:49:06,293
My name is Honeycutt.
Can you say that?
994
00:49:06,328 --> 00:49:09,126
Whenever you see me,
I'm gonna give you my greetin'.
995
00:49:12,267 --> 00:49:13,529
And you say...
996
00:49:19,408 --> 00:49:20,568
Hello, Jukka.
997
00:49:20,609 --> 00:49:22,907
Just wanted to wish you
good luck.
998
00:49:22,945 --> 00:49:25,140
- Thank you very much.
- Do a good show.
999
00:49:25,180 --> 00:49:26,943
I always try to do my best.
1000
00:49:26,982 --> 00:49:28,609
As usual, I did my research.
1001
00:49:28,650 --> 00:49:32,609
We should blacken up
like they did back in the day.
1002
00:49:32,654 --> 00:49:34,246
Keep the ritual the same.
1003
00:49:34,289 --> 00:49:37,656
So, pour some alcohol
on the corks and light it.
1004
00:49:37,693 --> 00:49:41,288
Let them burn to a crisp,
and when burnt out...
1005
00:49:41,330 --> 00:49:44,060
mash them to a powder.
1006
00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:48,060
Add water.
1007
00:49:48,103 --> 00:49:50,128
Mix to a thick paste.
1008
00:49:50,172 --> 00:49:54,040
And voila,
you have your blackface.
1009
00:49:55,577 --> 00:49:58,410
But please put cocoa butter
on your face and hands...
1010
00:49:58,447 --> 00:50:00,278
to protect your skin.
1011
00:50:22,504 --> 00:50:26,031
And the final detail...
1012
00:50:26,074 --> 00:50:27,735
are the lips.
1013
00:50:27,776 --> 00:50:30,267
The redder the lipstick,
the better.
1014
00:50:30,312 --> 00:50:34,681
So, I suggest fire-truck red.
1015
00:50:38,787 --> 00:50:42,689
Show... time.
1016
00:50:52,834 --> 00:50:56,702
This here's my best friend
Sleep'n Eat.
1017
00:50:56,738 --> 00:51:00,230
This here's
my best friend Mantan.
1018
00:51:00,275 --> 00:51:05,440
And we are two real coons.
1019
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,041
We left the hustle and bustle
of uptown Harlem.
1020
00:51:09,084 --> 00:51:10,847
The Big Apple.
1021
00:51:10,886 --> 00:51:14,253
New York! New York!
Skyscrapers and everything.
1022
00:51:14,289 --> 00:51:16,223
To return to our roots.
1023
00:51:16,258 --> 00:51:18,556
Our Alabammy home.
That's right.
1024
00:51:18,593 --> 00:51:21,084
We is countrified.
We is sho nuff Bamas.
1025
00:51:21,129 --> 00:51:23,689
Here come the Bamas.
1026
00:51:23,732 --> 00:51:26,394
No more city slickers.
1027
00:51:26,435 --> 00:51:31,304
Can't you smell
that sweet aroma...
1028
00:51:31,339 --> 00:51:33,432
of high cotton...
1029
00:51:33,475 --> 00:51:35,636
and ripe watermelon?
1030
00:51:35,677 --> 00:51:39,374
Nigga, now don't you
get me to sniffin'.
1031
00:51:39,414 --> 00:51:42,349
Why don't you show us
some of them educated feets?
1032
00:51:45,153 --> 00:51:48,816
Cousins, first, second,
third, and distant...
1033
00:51:48,857 --> 00:51:52,054
why don't you let Mantan
take you back to a simpler time?
1034
00:51:52,094 --> 00:51:55,393
A time when men was men...
1035
00:51:55,430 --> 00:51:57,694
and women was women...
1036
00:51:57,732 --> 00:51:59,393
and nigras knew they place.
1037
00:52:03,004 --> 00:52:06,201
Cousins, I want you all
to go to your windows.
1038
00:52:06,241 --> 00:52:07,367
Open 'em up.
1039
00:52:07,409 --> 00:52:09,707
Go to your windows
and yell out...
1040
00:52:09,744 --> 00:52:11,268
"I'm tired of the drugs.
1041
00:52:11,313 --> 00:52:16,080
"I'm tired of the crack babies
born out of wedlock...
1042
00:52:16,118 --> 00:52:18,586
"to crackhead
AlD-infested parents.
1043
00:52:18,620 --> 00:52:22,488
"I'm tired of
the inflated welfare rolls...
1044
00:52:22,524 --> 00:52:24,253
"while good
wholesome Americans...
1045
00:52:24,292 --> 00:52:28,058
"bring less and less
of their paycheck home...
1046
00:52:28,096 --> 00:52:29,825
"every two weeks."
1047
00:52:29,865 --> 00:52:30,991
That's a long time, too.
1048
00:52:31,032 --> 00:52:34,763
I'm tired. You're tired.
We're all tired...
1049
00:52:34,803 --> 00:52:38,671
of all these so-called,
Bible-thumpin'...
1050
00:52:38,707 --> 00:52:40,504
Swing down, sweet low
1051
00:52:40,542 --> 00:52:41,770
God-fearin'...
1052
00:52:41,810 --> 00:52:43,141
G.P., are you with me?
1053
00:52:43,178 --> 00:52:47,478
whore-mongling
professional athletes.
1054
00:52:47,516 --> 00:52:50,110
You's a fine motherfucker, baby,
back that ass up.
1055
00:52:50,152 --> 00:52:52,450
Cousins, I want you
to go to your windows...
1056
00:52:52,487 --> 00:52:55,888
yell out, scream with all
the life you can muster up...
1057
00:52:55,924 --> 00:52:59,360
inside your bruised, battered,
assaulted bodies...
1058
00:52:59,394 --> 00:53:01,157
"I'm sick and tired
of niggers...
1059
00:53:01,196 --> 00:53:04,359
"and I'm not gonna
take it anymore!"
1060
00:53:04,399 --> 00:53:08,301
That boy something else.
Once he get to talkin'--
1061
00:53:09,471 --> 00:53:12,531
Lord, have mercy.
He done did it again.
1062
00:53:12,574 --> 00:53:14,542
Let me get him on up.
I got something for him.
1063
00:53:14,576 --> 00:53:17,511
Watch this.
Like a mad streak.
1064
00:53:17,546 --> 00:53:20,481
Got to do my watermelon patch.
Running Man.
1065
00:53:20,515 --> 00:53:23,143
Got to do the running slave.
Watch this.
1066
00:53:25,687 --> 00:53:27,552
Doctor don't know nothing
about these.
1067
00:53:27,589 --> 00:53:29,216
Here I go.
1068
00:53:29,257 --> 00:53:31,725
Down
1069
00:53:33,862 --> 00:53:35,796
Come on, now. Come on.
1070
00:53:35,830 --> 00:53:37,127
I'm rubbing the genie's lamp.
1071
00:53:37,165 --> 00:53:40,931
It's an emergency situation.
Clear!
1072
00:53:40,969 --> 00:53:43,995
Dem nigger apples
work every goddamn time!
1073
00:53:44,039 --> 00:53:45,973
Come on, boy!
1074
00:53:46,007 --> 00:53:47,338
Let's do this here.
1075
00:53:47,375 --> 00:53:48,865
You lucky
we ain't in the jailhouse.
1076
00:53:48,910 --> 00:53:50,309
I'll be like Captain Kirk
of the "Enterprise"...
1077
00:53:50,345 --> 00:53:52,506
going into the big black hole.
1078
00:53:52,547 --> 00:53:53,741
Give me one. Hut-one!
1079
00:53:53,782 --> 00:53:54,908
Hut...
1080
00:53:54,950 --> 00:53:56,850
Man, shit, just hut.
1081
00:53:56,885 --> 00:53:58,785
Here we go now.
I'm running, too.
1082
00:54:05,493 --> 00:54:07,222
Any pretty niggas in the house?
1083
00:54:08,230 --> 00:54:09,527
Come on out.
1084
00:55:27,309 --> 00:55:29,209
Take it home.
1085
00:55:29,244 --> 00:55:31,075
All right.
1086
00:55:43,291 --> 00:55:45,020
Bravo!
1087
00:56:17,225 --> 00:56:19,557
I just got the news
from the CNS brass...
1088
00:56:19,594 --> 00:56:20,822
that was at the taping.
1089
00:56:20,862 --> 00:56:22,261
They loved the pilot.
1090
00:56:22,297 --> 00:56:24,959
We're a midseason replacement.
They ordered twelve shows.
1091
00:56:24,999 --> 00:56:27,467
We're going to be
on the air in three weeks.
1092
00:56:29,237 --> 00:56:31,137
Did you hear what I just said?
1093
00:56:31,172 --> 00:56:32,400
They didn't even view
a rough cut.
1094
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,840
They looked at some scenes
we quickly put together.
1095
00:56:34,876 --> 00:56:36,468
They were sweating us, man.
1096
00:56:36,511 --> 00:56:38,843
There must be
some sort of mistake.
1097
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,475
Only mistake is I didn't believe
in your genius from jump street.
1098
00:56:42,517 --> 00:56:44,485
Dela, you are the man, bro.
1099
00:56:47,288 --> 00:56:50,086
Please, hold a second.
I have to take this call.
1100
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:53,086
Peerless?
1101
00:56:53,128 --> 00:56:56,359
Hi, Mom.
Could you hold the line?
1102
00:56:56,398 --> 00:56:59,424
I have to get rid
of this other...
1103
00:56:59,467 --> 00:57:03,198
Mr. Dunwitty, it's my mom.
I really have to take this.
1104
00:57:03,238 --> 00:57:05,229
Your mama?
I want to meet her someday.
1105
00:57:05,273 --> 00:57:08,936
Tell the great news.
I'm out like Vanilla lce.
1106
00:57:12,414 --> 00:57:14,075
Peerless, your daddy called.
1107
00:57:14,115 --> 00:57:15,980
He wants you
to come and see him.
1108
00:57:19,587 --> 00:57:22,283
They got all this controversy in
Hollywood about black films...
1109
00:57:22,323 --> 00:57:23,881
and all this stuff
about black folks--
1110
00:57:23,925 --> 00:57:25,859
Are there enough of them on TV?
1111
00:57:25,894 --> 00:57:28,692
But we know we on the news.
We all over the news.
1112
00:57:28,730 --> 00:57:30,197
My favorite black show
is "Cops."
1113
00:57:30,231 --> 00:57:33,223
You know we on that, too.
1114
00:57:33,268 --> 00:57:37,602
I can't watch all that stuff--
that WB--We Be Black.
1115
00:57:37,639 --> 00:57:39,971
Little nigger frog
look like Quincy Jones.
1116
00:57:40,008 --> 00:57:41,873
I can't watch all that.
1117
00:57:41,910 --> 00:57:47,109
UPN--You Pick a Nigger--
any nigger you want.
1118
00:57:47,148 --> 00:57:51,517
But I have to confess,
I love "Jerry Springer."
1119
00:57:51,553 --> 00:57:54,317
It's the all-American show.
1120
00:57:54,355 --> 00:57:56,016
Where else can you see
three white women...
1121
00:57:56,057 --> 00:57:58,252
fight over a nigger
with one tooth?
1122
00:58:03,231 --> 00:58:05,324
And no job.
1123
00:58:05,366 --> 00:58:08,130
And speaks fluent Ebonics.
1124
00:58:08,169 --> 00:58:10,137
"Reggie,
how come you got three women?"
1125
00:58:10,171 --> 00:58:12,935
"They like dick, Jerry."
1126
00:58:12,974 --> 00:58:15,499
"Your mama like dick?"
1127
00:58:15,543 --> 00:58:18,011
I wrote a movie
and sold it to the studio.
1128
00:58:18,046 --> 00:58:19,775
I'm real excited about it.
1129
00:58:19,814 --> 00:58:23,011
"Last White Man on Earth."
1130
00:58:23,051 --> 00:58:25,417
Don't look for a sequel.
We catch him.
1131
00:58:29,657 --> 00:58:33,457
Starring Diana Ross
and Whoopi Goldberg.
1132
00:58:33,495 --> 00:58:34,689
We beat them
for about five minutes.
1133
00:58:34,729 --> 00:58:37,698
"Where is he?
We saw you with him."
1134
00:58:40,468 --> 00:58:43,835
Have you noticed that everybody
white want to be black?
1135
00:58:43,872 --> 00:58:45,362
White folks
want to be black folks.
1136
00:58:45,406 --> 00:58:46,634
I went to school
with white people.
1137
00:58:46,674 --> 00:58:48,642
Their lips weren't that big.
1138
00:58:48,676 --> 00:58:50,974
They get stuff in their lips.
They take it out their behind.
1139
00:58:51,012 --> 00:58:53,207
They do anything
to get big nigger lips.
1140
00:58:53,248 --> 00:58:54,738
Black people been killed
on the highway.
1141
00:58:54,782 --> 00:58:57,182
They come by. "I'll take these."
1142
00:58:59,888 --> 00:59:02,618
The lips so big,
the little kids look adopted.
1143
00:59:03,992 --> 00:59:06,893
Everybody want to be black,
but nobody want to be black.
1144
00:59:06,928 --> 00:59:08,589
It confuses me.
1145
00:59:08,630 --> 00:59:10,621
They all act black, sound black.
1146
00:59:10,665 --> 00:59:12,530
I hope they start
hanging niggers again.
1147
00:59:12,567 --> 00:59:15,331
I'm going to find out
who's black.
1148
00:59:15,370 --> 00:59:19,966
Tell you some street jokes.
I love them.
1149
00:59:20,008 --> 00:59:21,976
Ain't they the funniest?
1150
00:59:26,481 --> 00:59:28,506
A nigger escaped
from the crazy house.
1151
00:59:31,553 --> 00:59:33,350
That's already scary.
1152
00:59:34,389 --> 00:59:37,688
And ran to where the nuns live.
1153
00:59:37,725 --> 00:59:41,092
There was Sister Mary,
Sister Jane, and Mother Theresa.
1154
00:59:41,129 --> 00:59:43,063
He went in there buck naked...
1155
00:59:43,097 --> 00:59:45,930
and had the biggest, thickest,
longest penis you ever seen.
1156
00:59:45,967 --> 00:59:47,229
He was all skin.
1157
00:59:47,268 --> 00:59:50,294
So, Sister Mary wanted
to protect Mother Theresa.
1158
00:59:50,338 --> 00:59:52,203
She grabbed a butcher knife.
1159
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,368
"Mother Theresa, where do you
want me to start cutting?"
1160
00:59:55,410 --> 00:59:58,311
Mother Theresa said,
"Here and here."
1161
01:00:02,250 --> 01:00:04,013
You know that shit is funny.
1162
01:00:04,052 --> 01:00:06,077
Who is it?
1163
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,315
Peerless.
1164
01:00:08,356 --> 01:00:10,381
That's my son at the door.
1165
01:00:14,562 --> 01:00:15,722
How are you doing?
1166
01:00:15,763 --> 01:00:19,096
Looking good. Good to see you.
1167
01:00:19,133 --> 01:00:20,293
Looking good, son.
1168
01:00:20,335 --> 01:00:22,530
You look dandy
in that orange ensemble.
1169
01:00:22,570 --> 01:00:24,561
Have a seat, son.
1170
01:00:27,108 --> 01:00:29,201
- You were hilarious.
- Thank you.
1171
01:00:29,243 --> 01:00:31,404
Absolutely hilarious.
1172
01:00:31,446 --> 01:00:32,845
It was a good show.
1173
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,871
Dot, get my son a drink.
1174
01:00:34,916 --> 01:00:36,349
Sure thing, baby.
1175
01:00:36,384 --> 01:00:40,115
I always enjoy
seeing you perform.
1176
01:00:40,154 --> 01:00:43,590
Good, good. I try.
1177
01:00:43,625 --> 01:00:45,320
You do more than try.
1178
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:46,884
You succeed.
1179
01:00:48,329 --> 01:00:49,853
I hope this is all right.
1180
01:00:49,897 --> 01:00:51,524
- It's perfect. Thank you.
- You're welcome.
1181
01:00:51,566 --> 01:00:53,625
Cheers.
1182
01:00:53,668 --> 01:00:56,831
Guess I'd better leave
y'all two alone, all right?
1183
01:00:56,871 --> 01:00:59,101
That was a good show tonight.
Give me some sugar.
1184
01:00:59,140 --> 01:01:01,404
- I love you, baby.
- I love you, too.
1185
01:01:01,442 --> 01:01:03,706
I'm so proud of you.
1186
01:01:03,745 --> 01:01:05,144
All right.
1187
01:01:05,179 --> 01:01:06,339
Be back.
1188
01:01:08,883 --> 01:01:11,010
That's a good woman.
1189
01:01:11,052 --> 01:01:13,213
How did you end up here?
1190
01:01:13,254 --> 01:01:18,317
I got too much pride,
too much dignity...
1191
01:01:18,359 --> 01:01:20,418
integrity.
1192
01:01:20,461 --> 01:01:22,395
I can't do
that Hollywood stuff, man.
1193
01:01:22,430 --> 01:01:25,126
I can't say that stuff
they want me to say.
1194
01:01:25,166 --> 01:01:28,192
There's got to be
something more than that.
1195
01:01:28,236 --> 01:01:29,931
Reality, I mean.
1196
01:01:29,971 --> 01:01:33,668
Maybe you weren't funny enough.
1197
01:01:33,708 --> 01:01:35,972
You must be crazy, man.
1198
01:01:36,010 --> 01:01:37,944
Didn't you hear
that audience tonight?
1199
01:01:37,979 --> 01:01:40,106
They were with me.
1200
01:01:40,148 --> 01:01:43,083
They were laughing with me.
They got me.
1201
01:01:43,117 --> 01:01:46,985
I'm funny as hell, OK?
What you up to?
1202
01:01:47,021 --> 01:01:48,886
Trying to get my stuff
on the air.
1203
01:01:50,258 --> 01:01:53,625
Where do you go from here?
1204
01:01:53,661 --> 01:01:56,391
South Carolina,
another little nigger club.
1205
01:01:56,431 --> 01:01:58,763
No, I meant in life.
Where do you go?
1206
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,392
In life?
1207
01:02:00,435 --> 01:02:01,732
I'm happy.
1208
01:02:01,769 --> 01:02:03,794
Got me a pretty woman.
1209
01:02:03,838 --> 01:02:07,296
Got a little money in my pocket.
1210
01:02:07,341 --> 01:02:08,706
Got me some tonic.
1211
01:02:08,743 --> 01:02:11,803
I'm above ground.
I'm ahead of the game.
1212
01:02:11,846 --> 01:02:13,871
And you know what
I always taught you.
1213
01:02:13,915 --> 01:02:16,383
Every nigger is an entertainer.
1214
01:02:18,786 --> 01:02:20,549
The question is...
1215
01:02:20,588 --> 01:02:22,385
What are you going to do,
Peerless?
1216
01:02:22,423 --> 01:02:24,755
And one more thing.
1217
01:02:24,792 --> 01:02:28,455
Nigger, where the fuck
did you get that accent?
1218
01:02:31,499 --> 01:02:35,333
Why do you always use
that word "nigger" so much?
1219
01:02:35,369 --> 01:02:39,430
I say "nigger"
a hundred times every morning.
1220
01:02:39,474 --> 01:02:41,840
Keeps my teeth white.
1221
01:02:41,876 --> 01:02:43,309
Come on, Junebug.
1222
01:02:43,344 --> 01:02:45,107
My father.
1223
01:02:45,146 --> 01:02:47,910
I'm not mad at him--
not at all.
1224
01:02:47,949 --> 01:02:50,509
Or the stock market crash--
Black Monday.
1225
01:02:50,551 --> 01:02:51,848
Junebug was the reason...
1226
01:02:51,886 --> 01:02:54,218
I had gotten into this business
in the first place.
1227
01:02:54,255 --> 01:02:55,813
You hear white folks
all the time--
1228
01:02:55,857 --> 01:02:57,848
"It was the darkest day
of my life."
1229
01:02:57,892 --> 01:03:00,952
When they faint--"l blacked out.
I don't remember anything."
1230
01:03:00,995 --> 01:03:03,259
And I thank him for that.
1231
01:03:03,297 --> 01:03:07,563
However, it did me no good
seeing him in that state.
1232
01:03:07,602 --> 01:03:09,229
Father was a broken man.
1233
01:03:09,270 --> 01:03:10,567
broke or lose our money--
1234
01:03:10,605 --> 01:03:12,368
"It was the whitest day
of my life."
1235
01:03:12,406 --> 01:03:15,000
He had been a strong man...
1236
01:03:15,042 --> 01:03:19,672
with conviction,
integrity, principles...
1237
01:03:19,714 --> 01:03:22,114
and look
where it had gotten him.
1238
01:03:22,150 --> 01:03:23,777
Even the cartoons are racist.
1239
01:03:23,818 --> 01:03:25,547
Have you noticed that?
1240
01:03:25,586 --> 01:03:27,747
Why do they treat us like that?
1241
01:03:27,789 --> 01:03:30,087
I had to ask myself--
1242
01:03:30,124 --> 01:03:33,116
Did I want to end up
where he was?
1243
01:03:33,161 --> 01:03:34,492
Laughing and grinning...
1244
01:03:34,529 --> 01:03:38,124
Hell, emphatically, no.
1245
01:03:38,166 --> 01:03:41,067
Broke and the happiest people
on the planet.
1246
01:03:41,102 --> 01:03:44,731
That was the last time
I ever saw Junebug.
1247
01:03:44,772 --> 01:03:45,966
A damn shame.
1248
01:03:46,007 --> 01:03:48,305
Remember, son...
1249
01:03:48,342 --> 01:03:50,936
always keep 'em laughing.
1250
01:03:50,978 --> 01:03:52,605
Keep 'em laughing.
1251
01:03:58,719 --> 01:04:01,313
Everybody say, "Ho!"
1252
01:04:01,355 --> 01:04:03,414
Say, "Ho, ho!"
1253
01:04:03,457 --> 01:04:05,015
Say, "Ho, ho, ho!"
1254
01:04:09,864 --> 01:04:11,923
We're going to do something
a little different tonight.
1255
01:04:11,966 --> 01:04:13,194
Can you help a brother out?
1256
01:04:13,234 --> 01:04:15,327
Can you do this, folks?
1257
01:04:15,369 --> 01:04:17,701
We're going to start a chant,
and I'll start it off.
1258
01:04:17,738 --> 01:04:21,731
The chant goes like this.
"Let's go, niggers."
1259
01:04:37,225 --> 01:04:41,685
Let's welcome to the stage
two real coons...
1260
01:04:41,729 --> 01:04:44,698
the Dusty Duo--
1261
01:04:44,732 --> 01:04:45,960
Mantan...
1262
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,332
and his sepia sidekick...
1263
01:04:48,369 --> 01:04:52,203
Sleep'n Eat!
1264
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,037
Showtime.
1265
01:05:08,222 --> 01:05:09,655
- Go on now.
- OK, come on.
1266
01:05:09,690 --> 01:05:12,420
- Slow down, boy.
- He ain't here.
1267
01:05:12,460 --> 01:05:13,484
Come on.
1268
01:05:13,527 --> 01:05:15,927
We gonna get us
some of these here chickies.
1269
01:05:18,032 --> 01:05:20,125
Oh, boy,
I can taste me a wing now.
1270
01:05:23,738 --> 01:05:25,638
Look at that there.
1271
01:05:25,673 --> 01:05:29,575
Corn bread, biscuits,
red beans, and rice.
1272
01:05:29,610 --> 01:05:32,044
- What you talking about, man?
- My wish list.
1273
01:05:32,079 --> 01:05:35,446
Man, our massa's
gonna wish our ass.
1274
01:05:35,483 --> 01:05:37,781
You know my lady Lucindy?
1275
01:05:37,818 --> 01:05:40,514
- You mean the one with the big--
- No, not her.
1276
01:05:40,554 --> 01:05:42,715
- The one with the little...
- Oh, her.
1277
01:05:42,757 --> 01:05:45,885
Yes. You see,
tomorrow's her birthday...
1278
01:05:45,927 --> 01:05:48,361
and I want to get her something
really nice, like one of those--
1279
01:05:48,396 --> 01:05:50,125
No. Don't get her one of those.
1280
01:05:50,164 --> 01:05:51,392
What you need to do
is get her one of them--
1281
01:05:51,432 --> 01:05:53,400
No. She hates them.
1282
01:05:53,434 --> 01:05:55,629
That's too bad.
1283
01:05:55,670 --> 01:05:57,331
Why don't you get her a dress?
1284
01:05:57,371 --> 01:06:01,501
You mean one of those sexy,
slinky, foxy ones with the--
1285
01:06:01,542 --> 01:06:03,271
They're too short.
1286
01:06:03,311 --> 01:06:05,074
And too tight. You need
to get her one of them--
1287
01:06:05,112 --> 01:06:06,704
Now, that's too big.
1288
01:06:06,747 --> 01:06:08,544
You know,
the in-between kind--
1289
01:06:08,582 --> 01:06:10,675
not too loose, not too tight.
1290
01:06:10,718 --> 01:06:12,618
That's perfect, there.
1291
01:06:12,653 --> 01:06:14,780
You know that dress
is going to cost you around--
1292
01:06:14,822 --> 01:06:17,154
That's too much money.
I can't afford it.
1293
01:06:17,191 --> 01:06:18,954
I needs me a dress
that's going to cost--
1294
01:06:18,993 --> 01:06:21,655
Can't get it that cheap.
1295
01:06:21,696 --> 01:06:23,527
I'll get a less expensive dress.
1296
01:06:23,564 --> 01:06:25,361
Save some money,
take her out to dinner.
1297
01:06:25,399 --> 01:06:27,094
Boy, you getting fancy now!
1298
01:06:28,836 --> 01:06:30,326
Why don't I come over,
we get a double date?
1299
01:06:30,371 --> 01:06:32,669
No, man.
I heard your lady is wild.
1300
01:06:32,707 --> 01:06:35,574
No. That was her second cousin,
the one married to Lil' Bit.
1301
01:06:35,609 --> 01:06:39,101
Because you know
on our first date...
1302
01:06:39,146 --> 01:06:40,545
she let me...
1303
01:06:40,581 --> 01:06:42,708
That bitch didn't.
1304
01:06:42,750 --> 01:06:44,445
Oh, yes, she did.
1305
01:06:44,485 --> 01:06:45,645
I heard differently.
1306
01:06:45,686 --> 01:06:47,916
I heard your monkey ass
went up in there--
1307
01:06:47,955 --> 01:06:50,287
No. Not that time.
1308
01:06:51,292 --> 01:06:52,623
What time you going to see her?
1309
01:06:52,660 --> 01:06:54,958
- Let's say around--
- That's too early.
1310
01:06:54,996 --> 01:06:57,362
- How's about--
- That's too late.
1311
01:06:58,366 --> 01:06:59,731
Why don't you
pick us up around--
1312
01:06:59,767 --> 01:07:01,735
Now, that's perfect.
1313
01:07:06,307 --> 01:07:08,002
See, that's why we get along.
1314
01:07:08,042 --> 01:07:10,306
Like sweet and peas.
1315
01:07:15,783 --> 01:07:18,843
Now, let's go get us
some of them little chickies.
1316
01:07:18,886 --> 01:07:21,047
Hey, who goes in there?
1317
01:07:21,088 --> 01:07:23,556
Good God in the goose fat,
we better hide.
1318
01:07:23,591 --> 01:07:25,218
Ooh, gosh.
1319
01:07:25,259 --> 01:07:29,525
It's that mean, evil overseer
Master Charlie.
1320
01:07:29,563 --> 01:07:30,757
I say!
1321
01:07:30,798 --> 01:07:33,028
I say, who goes in there?
1322
01:07:33,067 --> 01:07:35,592
Ain't nobody in here
except us chickens!
1323
01:07:43,210 --> 01:07:44,973
Let's go now!
1324
01:07:45,012 --> 01:07:46,673
Let's go now!
1325
01:07:49,283 --> 01:07:50,580
Hey, you!
1326
01:07:50,618 --> 01:07:52,711
Come back here right now!
1327
01:07:52,753 --> 01:07:57,087
Well, maybe it is... amusing.
1328
01:07:57,124 --> 01:07:59,490
It was the day of reckoning.
1329
01:07:59,527 --> 01:08:03,759
After a massive advertising
and publicity campaign...
1330
01:08:03,798 --> 01:08:07,529
the public would finally
get a chance to view "Mantan."
1331
01:08:07,568 --> 01:08:12,767
I was feeling
a little like Dr. Frankenstein.
1332
01:08:12,807 --> 01:08:15,571
What would their reaction be?
1333
01:08:15,609 --> 01:08:17,236
I hadn't the foggiest.
1334
01:08:18,312 --> 01:08:19,904
It's getting ready to come on.
1335
01:08:19,947 --> 01:08:22,040
I wish I was
in the land of cotton
1336
01:08:22,083 --> 01:08:23,948
Old times
there are not forgotten
1337
01:08:23,984 --> 01:08:26,009
Look away, look away
1338
01:08:26,053 --> 01:08:28,078
Look away, Dixieland
1339
01:08:28,122 --> 01:08:30,056
In Dixieland, where I was born
1340
01:08:30,091 --> 01:08:32,116
Early on one frosty morning
1341
01:08:32,159 --> 01:08:34,354
Look away, look away
1342
01:08:34,395 --> 01:08:37,193
Why they got to make
my nose so big?
1343
01:08:37,231 --> 01:08:39,165
What's up with my lips?
1344
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,636
No. This wasn't
supposed to be like this.
1345
01:08:42,670 --> 01:08:45,230
Where do you guys work,
in the lobby of the damn place?
1346
01:08:45,272 --> 01:08:48,571
Man, listen,
I don't know what to tell you.
1347
01:08:48,609 --> 01:08:50,236
You have every right
to be upset.
1348
01:08:50,277 --> 01:08:54,646
But first,
a word from our proud sponsors.
1349
01:08:54,682 --> 01:08:56,411
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby
1350
01:08:56,450 --> 01:08:58,111

1351
01:08:58,152 --> 01:09:00,086
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby
1352
01:09:00,121 --> 01:09:01,986

01:09:07,761 --> 01:09:09,661
It's Da Bomb, baby.
1356
01:09:09,697 --> 01:09:11,164
It's Da Bomb, dawg.
1357
01:09:11,198 --> 01:09:12,756
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby
1358
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:14,893
It makes you get your freak on
1359
01:09:14,935 --> 01:09:17,233
Chemical testing has found...
1360
01:09:17,271 --> 01:09:21,207
that Viagra doesn't work
on black johnsons.
1361
01:09:21,242 --> 01:09:27,943
That's why our scientist
has developed Da Bomb for you.
1362
01:09:27,982 --> 01:09:29,779
It makes you feel
like a man, yo...

01:09:29,817 --> 01:09:32,479
and it makes them bitches
feel like natural women.
1364
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,317
I mean hos.
1365
01:09:34,355 --> 01:09:36,152
It makes my nature rise.
1366
01:09:36,190 --> 01:09:37,851
I want to get funked up.
1367
01:09:48,202 --> 01:09:52,696
Da Bomb makes me want
to get my freak on.
1368
01:09:52,740 --> 01:09:54,469
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby
1369
01:09:54,508 --> 01:09:57,033
Da Bomb, baby, Bomb, baby.
1370
01:09:57,077 --> 01:10:00,604
It makes you get your swerve on.
1371
01:10:00,648 --> 01:10:02,548

01:10:02,583 --> 01:10:04,551

Hillnigger keeps it real.
1387
01:10:33,214 --> 01:10:35,045
Timmi's gots
all the latest gear.
1388
01:10:35,082 --> 01:10:37,448
If you want
to keep it really real...
1389
01:10:37,484 --> 01:10:38,849
never get out of the gheetto...
1390
01:10:38,886 --> 01:10:40,717
stay broke,
and continue to add...
1391
01:10:40,754 --> 01:10:43,188
to my multibillion dollar
corporation...
1392
01:10:43,224 --> 01:10:44,851
keep buying all my gear--
1393
01:10:44,892 --> 01:10:46,359
the Timmi Hillnigger
collection.
1394
01:10:46,393 --> 01:10:48,987
We keep it so real,
we give you the bullet holes.
1395
01:10:49,029 --> 01:10:53,022
Go, Timmi, go, Timmi!
1396
01:10:53,067 --> 01:10:55,900
All my niggas
wear Timmi Hillnigger...
1397
01:10:55,936 --> 01:10:58,700
or they don't wear
a damn thing at all!
1398
01:10:58,739 --> 01:11:02,038
It's ghetto fabulous!
1399
01:11:02,076 --> 01:11:05,011
I was sunk, dead.
1400
01:11:05,045 --> 01:11:07,240
My goose was cooked.
1401
01:11:07,281 --> 01:11:11,012
The cat was in the bag,
and the bag was in the river.
1402
01:11:11,051 --> 01:11:12,416
I like this.
1403
01:11:12,453 --> 01:11:14,318
You guys have both seen
the overnight ratings.
1404
01:11:14,355 --> 01:11:15,515
They're through the roof.
1405
01:11:15,556 --> 01:11:17,353
Mazel tov.
But in this business...
1406
01:11:17,391 --> 01:11:19,916
we have to be
one, two, three steps ahead.
1407
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,621
That's why I brought in
Myrna Goldfarb.
1408
01:11:21,662 --> 01:11:24,028
She's the best media consultant
in the biz.
1409
01:11:24,064 --> 01:11:25,292
She's going to help us out.
1410
01:11:25,332 --> 01:11:28,495
First, I would like to say
I love your show.
1411
01:11:28,535 --> 01:11:30,366
It's very courageous.
1412
01:11:30,404 --> 01:11:33,601
My parents marched
in Selma, Alabama with Dr. King.
1413
01:11:33,641 --> 01:11:35,905
- Why are you here?
- Good question.
1414
01:11:35,943 --> 01:11:38,377
Straight to the point.
I like your style.
1415
01:11:38,412 --> 01:11:41,404
Because of the content
of the show...
1416
01:11:41,448 --> 01:11:43,746
we're going to expect
some very spirited reactions.
1417
01:11:43,784 --> 01:11:46,412
Myrna's here to plan
our strategy, just in case.
1418
01:11:46,453 --> 01:11:48,819
Right.
The best defense is offense.
1419
01:11:48,856 --> 01:11:50,619
Really? I thought it was
the other way around.
1420
01:11:50,658 --> 01:11:53,593
Exactly.
I think we're on the same page.
1421
01:11:53,627 --> 01:11:57,358
I've mapped out strategies
to help bolster our position.
1422
01:11:57,398 --> 01:12:00,231
- Which is?
- Lighten up, man, right?
1423
01:12:00,267 --> 01:12:02,497
This is about fun, right?
1424
01:12:02,536 --> 01:12:04,128
Nice, wholesome fun.
1425
01:12:04,171 --> 01:12:05,763
Myrna, break it down for them.
1426
01:12:05,806 --> 01:12:09,503
The Mantan Manifesto.
Catchy, ain't it?
1427
01:12:09,543 --> 01:12:12,671
So is syphilis.
1428
01:12:12,713 --> 01:12:14,180
Number one--
1429
01:12:14,214 --> 01:12:16,114
we gainfully employ
African-Americans...
1430
01:12:16,150 --> 01:12:18,516
in front of
and behind the camera.
1431
01:12:18,552 --> 01:12:20,986
You got to cover yourselves,
people--very important.
1432
01:12:21,021 --> 01:12:25,458
I need a black grip,
a black gaffer, a black P.A.
1433
01:12:26,159 --> 01:12:27,285
Have them there.
1434
01:12:27,327 --> 01:12:30,819
Number two--
Let the audience decide.
1435
01:12:30,864 --> 01:12:33,424
Three--who put these critics
in charge anyway, right?
1436
01:12:33,467 --> 01:12:36,561
These so-called cultural police.
1437
01:12:36,603 --> 01:12:39,265
Four--
Who determines what is black?
1438
01:12:39,306 --> 01:12:40,500
What is black?
1439
01:12:40,540 --> 01:12:44,772
Sleep'n Eat and Mantan
are lazy and unemployed...
1440
01:12:44,811 --> 01:12:46,711
but we are certainly
not saying anything...
1441
01:12:46,747 --> 01:12:49,375
about the entire
African-American community.
1442
01:12:49,416 --> 01:12:50,940
They're slackers.
1443
01:12:50,984 --> 01:12:52,975
I took a couple of years
after graduate school...
1444
01:12:53,020 --> 01:12:55,079
and walked around
the European countryside.
1445
01:12:55,122 --> 01:12:56,646
It's not the biggest deal
in the world.
1446
01:12:56,690 --> 01:13:00,217
Five--Mantan is a satire.
1447
01:13:00,260 --> 01:13:03,787
Six--if they can't take a joke,
you know what? "F" 'em.
1448
01:13:03,830 --> 01:13:05,161
Yeah. "F" 'em.
1449
01:13:05,198 --> 01:13:07,291
I think that if we stick
to this kind of strategy...
1450
01:13:07,334 --> 01:13:09,302
it's clean sailing from here.
1451
01:13:09,336 --> 01:13:12,772
No disrespect,
but this is some bullshit.
1452
01:13:12,806 --> 01:13:14,330
Well, I've done my research.
1453
01:13:14,374 --> 01:13:17,605
These are Negroes
we are talking about...
1454
01:13:17,644 --> 01:13:19,874
not some lab mice in a cage.
1455
01:13:19,913 --> 01:13:22,814
We are not one monolithic group
of people.
1456
01:13:22,849 --> 01:13:28,151
We do not all think, look,
and act alike, Ms. Goldfarb.
1457
01:13:28,188 --> 01:13:29,655
Mr. Delacroix,
let me assure you--
1458
01:13:29,689 --> 01:13:32,658
I got my Ph.D. In African-
American studies from Yale.
1459
01:13:32,692 --> 01:13:35,058
So you fucked
a Negro in college.
1460
01:13:35,095 --> 01:13:39,498
Excuse me.
Let's keep this above the belt.
1461
01:13:39,533 --> 01:13:42,525
Show a little respect
for this woman.
1462
01:13:42,569 --> 01:13:46,096
Yes. Continue,
O Great Niggerologist.
1463
01:13:46,139 --> 01:13:48,573
- Enlighten us.
- I'm sorry, Myrna.
1464
01:13:48,608 --> 01:13:49,973
The biggest thing
in public relations...
1465
01:13:50,010 --> 01:13:52,205
is, of course,
to always smile.
1466
01:13:52,245 --> 01:13:53,735
Show dem pearly whites.
1467
01:13:53,780 --> 01:13:56,544
Wear Kente cloth.
1468
01:13:56,583 --> 01:14:00,542
Invoke the spirit
of Dr. Martin Luther King.
1469
01:14:00,587 --> 01:14:04,182
Use the word "community" often
when talking about "Mantan."
1470
01:14:04,224 --> 01:14:07,523
And, finally, our biggest asset
is you, Pierre Delacroix.
1471
01:14:07,561 --> 01:14:10,758
- Me?
- Yes, you.
1472
01:14:10,797 --> 01:14:11,923
How?
1473
01:14:11,965 --> 01:14:15,958
This show was created
and conceived by you, right?
1474
01:14:16,002 --> 01:14:19,130
A nonthreatening
African-American male.
1475
01:14:19,172 --> 01:14:22,300
So the show can't be racist
because you're black.
1476
01:14:22,342 --> 01:14:24,037
That's where you're wrong.
1477
01:14:24,077 --> 01:14:27,877
He's not black.
No, see, he's a Negro.
1478
01:14:29,349 --> 01:14:31,408
You have your small victory.
1479
01:14:31,451 --> 01:14:33,214
Pierre, yassa man!
1480
01:14:33,253 --> 01:14:34,777
A small victory, is it?
1481
01:14:34,821 --> 01:14:37,289
- Right on, man.
- Great show.
1482
01:14:37,324 --> 01:14:39,724
That's small when
you've been used to losing.
1483
01:14:39,759 --> 01:14:44,628
Hey, Delacroix.
Funny show, man.
1484
01:14:44,664 --> 01:14:46,427
And what is this?
1485
01:14:46,466 --> 01:14:48,058
It's a gift.
1486
01:14:48,101 --> 01:14:50,569
For what, pray tell?
1487
01:14:50,604 --> 01:14:55,200
Despite how I may feel
about the show personally...
1488
01:14:55,242 --> 01:14:58,575
you did come up with something,
let's say, unique.
1489
01:14:58,612 --> 01:15:00,944
Unique?
1490
01:15:00,981 --> 01:15:02,915
Why don't you open it?
1491
01:15:08,288 --> 01:15:10,552
Watch this.
1492
01:15:18,532 --> 01:15:20,932
And what do we call this thing?
1493
01:15:20,967 --> 01:15:23,800
It is called
a "Jolly Nigger Bank."
1494
01:15:23,837 --> 01:15:25,099
Ain't that something?
1495
01:15:25,138 --> 01:15:27,106
And it's not a repro.
1496
01:15:27,140 --> 01:15:29,734
It's circa turn of the century.
1497
01:15:29,776 --> 01:15:31,641
Thank you, I guess.
1498
01:15:31,678 --> 01:15:33,509
I thought it was appropriate.
1499
01:15:33,547 --> 01:15:35,014
And is that good or bad?
1500
01:15:35,048 --> 01:15:36,982
Well, got a brand-new
successful show...
1501
01:15:37,017 --> 01:15:38,951
so you'll be going to the bank.
1502
01:15:38,985 --> 01:15:42,443
Plus,
I love these black collectibles.
1503
01:15:42,489 --> 01:15:43,683
Really? How so?
1504
01:15:43,723 --> 01:15:46,283
It reminds me of a time
in our history...
1505
01:15:46,326 --> 01:15:53,027
in this country when
we were considered inferior...
1506
01:15:53,066 --> 01:15:56,001
subhuman,
and we should never forget.
1507
01:15:56,036 --> 01:15:58,698
Why don't you try, Pierre?
1508
01:15:58,738 --> 01:16:01,434
Why don't I give it a whirl?
1509
01:16:05,212 --> 01:16:06,941
It's something, ain't it?
1510
01:16:06,980 --> 01:16:09,540
It's something, all right.
1511
01:16:14,888 --> 01:16:17,379
When American people
want something...
1512
01:16:17,424 --> 01:16:20,393
they want it now
and want it big.
1513
01:16:20,427 --> 01:16:23,919
They wanted the hula hoop
and their yo-yos.
1514
01:16:23,964 --> 01:16:27,923
Who could ever forget
those lovable Pet Rocks...
1515
01:16:27,968 --> 01:16:30,459
Beanie Babies, Pokemon?
1516
01:16:30,503 --> 01:16:33,233
Now the latest, hottest,
newest sensation...
1517
01:16:33,273 --> 01:16:36,265
across the nation was Blackface!
1518
01:16:36,309 --> 01:16:38,334
Trick or treat!
1519
01:16:38,378 --> 01:16:39,902
Blackface!
1520
01:16:39,946 --> 01:16:42,642
Trick or treat!
1521
01:16:42,682 --> 01:16:45,082
Welcome back to
"lmhotep Gary Byrd's GBE"...
1522
01:16:45,118 --> 01:16:48,519
from 1190 Talk Radio,
WLlB in New York City.
1523
01:16:48,555 --> 01:16:51,285
Our special guest today
is Pierre Delacroix.
1524
01:16:51,324 --> 01:16:55,920
He is the creator of the highly
controversial TV show "Mantan."
1525
01:16:55,962 --> 01:16:57,623
Pierre, we welcome you
to the "Experience."
1526
01:16:57,664 --> 01:17:00,098
It's good to experience
the "Experience," Gary.
1527
01:17:00,133 --> 01:17:03,728
Your show has created a strong
impression in the community.
1528
01:17:03,770 --> 01:17:09,174
You have been called a traitor,
an Uncle Tom, a sell-out.
1529
01:17:09,209 --> 01:17:12,303
Even been called the
Clarence Thomas of television.
1530
01:17:12,345 --> 01:17:13,505
It's nice to be hyphenated.
1531
01:17:13,546 --> 01:17:16,709
Why does your show cause
such an emotional reaction?
1532
01:17:16,750 --> 01:17:19,014
Well, I think it's race.
1533
01:17:19,052 --> 01:17:22,988
Race has always been a very
sensitive issue in this country.
1534
01:17:23,023 --> 01:17:27,460
I have no problem with people
disagreeing with my show.
1535
01:17:27,494 --> 01:17:28,620
That's fine.
1536
01:17:28,662 --> 01:17:33,361
But when they trample
my inherent right...
1537
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:36,392
as an artist, I catch afire.
1538
01:17:36,436 --> 01:17:40,805
Why is every hit
Negro show criticized?
1539
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:44,332
Like crabs in a barrel,
they pull each other down.
1540
01:17:44,377 --> 01:17:49,178
No one, in any way, shape,
or form, should be censored.
1541
01:17:49,215 --> 01:17:51,046
Do you believe
that that's true...
1542
01:17:51,084 --> 01:17:54,053
regardless of whether
the material is racist...
1543
01:17:54,087 --> 01:17:56,555
or sexist,
or even homophobic?
1544
01:17:56,589 --> 01:17:58,250
I say yes.
1545
01:17:58,291 --> 01:18:00,589
Because who is to judge?
1546
01:18:00,627 --> 01:18:04,996
Who is to stand and say
this is right or this is not?
1547
01:18:05,031 --> 01:18:07,522
I mean, I'm not Mayor Guiliani.
1548
01:18:07,567 --> 01:18:11,162
I cannot look at that painting
and say that is sacrilegious.
1549
01:18:11,204 --> 01:18:14,662
It's art, and that is
what it should be called.
1550
01:18:14,708 --> 01:18:16,005
So is "Mantan."
1551
01:18:16,042 --> 01:18:18,033
There are many people
who at this point...
1552
01:18:18,078 --> 01:18:20,876
are sick and tired
of the TV industry.
1553
01:18:20,914 --> 01:18:22,381
And there are many
in the community...
1554
01:18:22,415 --> 01:18:25,816
who say what they're doing
has got to stop now.
1555
01:18:25,852 --> 01:18:27,319
What do you say
about the fact...
1556
01:18:27,354 --> 01:18:28,685
that the line
has to be drawn here?
1557
01:18:28,722 --> 01:18:29,950
Those people need to wake up.
1558
01:18:29,989 --> 01:18:31,456
Wake up to what?
1559
01:18:31,491 --> 01:18:34,324
Slavery has been over
400 years ago!
1560
01:18:34,361 --> 01:18:36,693
We need to stop
thinking that way.
1561
01:18:36,730 --> 01:18:39,790
Stop crying over,
"the white man this or that."
1562
01:18:39,833 --> 01:18:41,698
This is the new millennium...
1563
01:18:41,735 --> 01:18:44,169
and we must join it.
1564
01:18:44,204 --> 01:18:46,832
Slavery did not end
400 years ago.
1565
01:18:46,873 --> 01:18:49,842
Slavery ended in 1865.
Do the math.
1566
01:18:49,876 --> 01:18:51,434
Your great-grandmother...
1567
01:18:51,478 --> 01:18:54,538
who raised your mother's mother,
was a slave...
1568
01:18:54,581 --> 01:18:56,674
and here you are,
in this studio...
1569
01:18:56,716 --> 01:18:58,684
trying to excuse
our own holocaust?
1570
01:18:58,718 --> 01:19:00,845
You're talking numbers, Gary.
1571
01:19:00,887 --> 01:19:04,288
200 years, 300 years,
it doesn't matter.
1572
01:19:04,324 --> 01:19:07,657
What matters, Gary,
is slave mentality...
1573
01:19:07,694 --> 01:19:09,685
and that is what must be broken.
1574
01:19:09,729 --> 01:19:12,664
I had an aunt.
We called her "Sister."
1575
01:19:12,699 --> 01:19:15,167
Aunt Sister went to her grave...
1576
01:19:15,201 --> 01:19:19,331
believing that man
had not walked on the moon.
1577
01:19:19,372 --> 01:19:21,636
I would argue
with this dear old woman.
1578
01:19:21,674 --> 01:19:23,665
I'd say,
"It's on television..."
1579
01:19:23,710 --> 01:19:28,204
and she'd say, "l don't care
what's on that idiot box.
1580
01:19:28,248 --> 01:19:30,182
"No man is on the moon."
1581
01:19:30,216 --> 01:19:34,448
Gary, there are millions
of Negroes in this country...
1582
01:19:34,487 --> 01:19:37,081
with that same mentality.
1583
01:19:37,123 --> 01:19:42,186
They think like my Aunt Sister,
and they must change.
1584
01:19:42,228 --> 01:19:44,059
We must adapt to the times.
1585
01:19:44,097 --> 01:19:46,258
Otherwise,
we will be left behind.
1586
01:19:46,299 --> 01:19:48,426
No more mess, CNS!
1587
01:19:48,468 --> 01:19:50,527
Ban "Mantan"!
1588
01:19:55,074 --> 01:19:57,474
We've come to put you on notice!
1589
01:19:57,510 --> 01:20:00,377
There will be no desecrating
of our people!
1590
01:20:00,413 --> 01:20:03,041
There will be none of this
in the new century!
1591
01:20:03,082 --> 01:20:05,812
We will not allow
no minstrel shows...
1592
01:20:05,852 --> 01:20:07,513
in the 21st century!
1593
01:20:07,554 --> 01:20:09,249
We're gonna close you down!
1594
01:20:09,289 --> 01:20:11,883
We're gonna close down
the advertising!
1595
01:20:11,925 --> 01:20:14,894
You wouldn't drop the bomb
on your children!
1596
01:20:14,928 --> 01:20:16,395
That's right, Rev!
1597
01:20:16,429 --> 01:20:17,691
Look at how they disgrace us!
1598
01:20:17,730 --> 01:20:19,220
This is what we're protesting!
1599
01:20:19,265 --> 01:20:20,994
Painted face!
A disgrace to the race!
1600
01:20:21,034 --> 01:20:23,525
Painted face,
disgrace to the race!
1601
01:20:36,616 --> 01:20:38,584
Yo, man, why is
the Reverend Al Sharpton...
1602
01:20:38,618 --> 01:20:40,347
and Johnnie Cochran down there?
1603
01:20:40,386 --> 01:20:41,853
Opportunists.
1604
01:20:41,888 --> 01:20:44,652
They love to see themselves
on television.
1605
01:20:44,691 --> 01:20:47,023
You sound like the media.
1606
01:20:47,060 --> 01:20:48,527
This is nothing.
1607
01:20:48,561 --> 01:20:52,088
Tomorrow it'll all be over.
1608
01:20:52,131 --> 01:20:54,497
Besides, as Mr. Dunwitty says...
1609
01:20:54,534 --> 01:20:57,560
there's no such thing
as bad publicity.
1610
01:20:59,272 --> 01:21:03,072
Here. That's for you.
1611
01:21:03,109 --> 01:21:06,442
It's a token of appreciation
for all your hard work.
1612
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:09,277
All right.
Good-lookin', man.
1613
01:21:19,292 --> 01:21:22,261
Those are the last pair
of tap shoes...
1614
01:21:22,295 --> 01:21:25,389
worn by Mr. Bill
"Bojangles" Robinson.
1615
01:21:25,431 --> 01:21:26,591
Word?
1616
01:21:26,633 --> 01:21:29,727
He died with those on his feet.
1617
01:21:29,769 --> 01:21:30,963
Buggin'.
1618
01:21:31,004 --> 01:21:33,268
No joke. I'm serious.
1619
01:21:33,306 --> 01:21:35,570
I hope I don't go out like that.
1620
01:21:45,051 --> 01:21:47,076
It's a nice sound.
1621
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,213
Wood on wood.
1622
01:21:52,058 --> 01:21:53,650
Here come Blak.
1623
01:21:53,693 --> 01:21:55,456
Whassup?
1624
01:21:55,495 --> 01:21:57,326
Those fuckin' Tom Sambos.
1625
01:21:57,363 --> 01:21:59,354
Handkerchief-head-wearing ass.
1626
01:21:59,399 --> 01:22:00,764
Dancin' monkey.
1627
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:02,165
Benedict Arnold!
1628
01:22:02,201 --> 01:22:04,169
Those motherfuckers
fuckin' it up...
1629
01:22:04,203 --> 01:22:06,569
for the whole fuckin'--
fuckin' everybody!
1630
01:22:06,606 --> 01:22:08,073
They gonna dis us...
1631
01:22:08,107 --> 01:22:10,507
and keep them two fuckin'
smilin', happy...
1632
01:22:10,543 --> 01:22:13,011
Tom-laughing
coon motherfuckers...
1633
01:22:13,046 --> 01:22:15,139
Mantan and goddamn
Sleep'n Eat?
1634
01:22:15,181 --> 01:22:16,239
You know what I'm sayin'?
1635
01:22:16,282 --> 01:22:19,046
They's foul, know what I mean?
1636
01:22:19,085 --> 01:22:20,518
- Know what I mean?
- Know what I'm sayin'?
1637
01:22:25,825 --> 01:22:28,419
We know, man!
1638
01:22:28,461 --> 01:22:32,090
Brothers, sister...
1639
01:22:32,131 --> 01:22:34,065
Yo, we can't let
this injustice go by.
1640
01:22:34,100 --> 01:22:35,260
Not this time, man.
1641
01:22:35,301 --> 01:22:37,098
Them two coons is ill, man.
1642
01:22:37,136 --> 01:22:39,070
Word up, man.
What we do on this level...
1643
01:22:39,105 --> 01:22:41,539
this shit gotta be
fuckin' big, y'all.
1644
01:22:41,574 --> 01:22:44,839
It's gotta be some
global blowout shit.
1645
01:22:44,877 --> 01:22:49,541
This shit gotta have some
symbolism to it! Sustenance.
1646
01:22:49,582 --> 01:22:54,576
This shit gotta be like fuckin'
John Carlos and Tommie Smith...
1647
01:22:54,621 --> 01:22:56,748
at the '68 Olympics,
you know what I'm saying?
1648
01:22:56,789 --> 01:22:59,155
Put the fists up!
Some big shit!
1649
01:22:59,192 --> 01:23:00,819
This is nice.
1650
01:23:00,860 --> 01:23:02,327
This is real nice.
1651
01:23:02,362 --> 01:23:06,128
This must have cost you
a pretty penny.
1652
01:23:06,165 --> 01:23:07,689
Me, I got it like that now.
1653
01:23:07,734 --> 01:23:09,668
Oh, you do.
1654
01:23:10,903 --> 01:23:13,064
I mean,
a little somethin' somethin'.
1655
01:23:13,106 --> 01:23:15,040
A little somethin' somethin'
is right.
1656
01:23:15,074 --> 01:23:16,871
I hope you saving
a little somethin' somethin'.
1657
01:23:16,909 --> 01:23:18,843
I ain't tryin' to end up broke.
1658
01:23:18,878 --> 01:23:21,972
Well, that's good.
1659
01:23:22,015 --> 01:23:23,846
See you got your pictures up.
1660
01:23:25,084 --> 01:23:27,052
I was just reading
the other day...
1661
01:23:27,086 --> 01:23:29,054
at the beginning
of the 20th Century...
1662
01:23:29,088 --> 01:23:32,319
how African-Americans
had to perform in blackface.
1663
01:23:32,358 --> 01:23:34,849
You know that entertainer
Bert Williams?
1664
01:23:34,894 --> 01:23:37,488
He was brilliant.
You know Bert?
1665
01:23:37,530 --> 01:23:40,988
Not really.
Maybe before my time.
1666
01:23:41,034 --> 01:23:42,763
Do you read?
1667
01:23:42,802 --> 01:23:45,362
I mean, not really.
Sort of hurts my head.
1668
01:23:45,405 --> 01:23:48,374
Hurts your head.
You should start reading.
1669
01:23:48,408 --> 01:23:52,344
Maybe I should start
doing a lot of things.
1670
01:23:52,378 --> 01:23:55,006
Well, as I was saying...
1671
01:23:55,048 --> 01:23:56,948
Bert Williams and the rest...
1672
01:23:56,983 --> 01:23:59,543
they had to blacken up
'cause they had no choice.
1673
01:23:59,585 --> 01:24:02,019
And of course,
during that time...
1674
01:24:02,055 --> 01:24:04,580
we were considered
3/5 of a human being.
1675
01:24:04,624 --> 01:24:06,592
Did you know that was
actually written...
1676
01:24:06,626 --> 01:24:08,423
in the Constitution
of the United States?
1677
01:24:08,461 --> 01:24:11,953
Sloan, why you flippin' on me
right now?
1678
01:24:11,998 --> 01:24:14,159
I mean,
this whole blackface thing.
1679
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,896
Don't try to front
like you wasn't down.
1680
01:24:16,936 --> 01:24:19,404
It was all part of a deal,
you know?
1681
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:21,407
You was down from the get-go.
1682
01:24:21,441 --> 01:24:24,899
You're down with Dela, right?
1683
01:24:24,944 --> 01:24:27,310
Yes. I'm down with Dela.
1684
01:24:27,346 --> 01:24:29,974
I just thought
you might be interested...
1685
01:24:30,016 --> 01:24:31,881
in the origins of blackface.
1686
01:24:31,918 --> 01:24:37,083
Look, my man Womack, myself...
1687
01:24:37,123 --> 01:24:39,557
we can definitely
handle this business.
1688
01:24:39,592 --> 01:24:44,996
I mean, for sure, I know
I can handle my business.
1689
01:24:49,635 --> 01:24:53,036
Well, OK.
1690
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,609
I'm gonna check this view out
'cause it's real nice.
1691
01:24:57,643 --> 01:24:59,543
I'm diggin' this whole thing
right here.
1692
01:24:59,579 --> 01:25:01,444
This is a nice vibe.
1693
01:25:01,481 --> 01:25:03,039
I'm liking this.
1694
01:25:35,948 --> 01:25:38,178
Sleep'n Eat.
1695
01:26:05,478 --> 01:26:07,207
I seen a lot of troubles lately.
1696
01:26:07,246 --> 01:26:09,612
Oh? Well, how be dat?
1697
01:26:09,649 --> 01:26:12,709
I don't know who I is.
1698
01:26:15,955 --> 01:26:19,083
Well, I'll be a Alabama
porch monkey's uncle.
1699
01:26:21,427 --> 01:26:24,624
At least you know who you is.
1700
01:26:24,664 --> 01:26:27,462
Years ago, I married a widow
who had a grown-up daughter.
1701
01:26:27,500 --> 01:26:30,469
My daddy visited us often,
fell in love, and married her.
1702
01:26:30,503 --> 01:26:33,131
Thusly,
he became my son-in-law...
1703
01:26:33,172 --> 01:26:34,969
and my step-daughter
became my mother...
1704
01:26:35,007 --> 01:26:37,373
because she was
my father's wife.
1705
01:26:37,410 --> 01:26:38,536
That's right.
1706
01:26:38,578 --> 01:26:42,105
After that, my father's wife
gave birth to a son...
1707
01:26:42,148 --> 01:26:45,743
which became my brother
and my grandchild.
1708
01:26:45,785 --> 01:26:47,446
Because he was the son
of my daughter.
1709
01:26:47,486 --> 01:26:49,784
- What? You jivin'!
- I ain't!
1710
01:26:49,822 --> 01:26:53,258
Now, accordingly,
my wife was my grandmother...
1711
01:26:53,292 --> 01:26:55,920
because she was
my mother's mother.
1712
01:26:55,962 --> 01:26:59,454
Mantan, I was my wife's
husband and grandchild...
1713
01:26:59,498 --> 01:27:01,056
at one and the same time.
1714
01:27:01,100 --> 01:27:02,727
And lo and behold...
1715
01:27:02,768 --> 01:27:05,134
as the husband of a person's
grandmother is a grandfather...
1716
01:27:05,171 --> 01:27:06,297
That's right.
1717
01:27:06,339 --> 01:27:08,534
I became my goddamn
own grandfather!
1718
01:27:08,574 --> 01:27:11,907
Holy mackerel!
1719
01:27:11,944 --> 01:27:17,644
Sleep'n Eat,
that sho is a whopper!
1720
01:27:17,683 --> 01:27:19,241
You said it, cousin.
1721
01:27:19,285 --> 01:27:22,550
Or is we?
1722
01:27:22,588 --> 01:27:25,182
Feets... do your stuff.
1723
01:27:58,224 --> 01:27:59,691
Watch out now!
1724
01:28:53,813 --> 01:28:55,781
You ain't never seen no niggers
1725
01:28:55,815 --> 01:28:57,407
Standin' here with a fiddle
1726
01:28:57,450 --> 01:28:58,644
You ain't never seen no niggers
1727
01:28:58,684 --> 01:29:01,084
A-standin' here
playin' on no fiddle
1728
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:02,712
You ain't seen no niggers
like this
1729
01:29:02,755 --> 01:29:04,723
Standin' here
playin' on a fiddle
1730
01:29:04,757 --> 01:29:06,588
You ain't seen
no niggers like this
1731
01:29:06,625 --> 01:29:08,593
Gettin' down on the fiddle,
watch this now
1732
01:29:08,627 --> 01:29:10,993
You couldn't hold out
any longer, could you?
1733
01:29:15,935 --> 01:29:17,800
I ain't worried about
money in the middle
1734
01:29:17,837 --> 01:29:19,600
'Cause I got my funky fiddle
1735
01:29:19,638 --> 01:29:21,196
I ain't worried about money
in the middle
1736
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:23,333
'Cause I got my funky fiddle,
watch this now
1737
01:29:25,277 --> 01:29:26,869
What's so funny, man?
1738
01:29:26,912 --> 01:29:28,607
Fuckin' shit is funny to me.
1739
01:29:28,647 --> 01:29:30,012
You funny to me.
1740
01:29:34,553 --> 01:29:35,884
Watch him now.
1741
01:29:47,500 --> 01:29:48,865
No, man.
1742
01:29:51,737 --> 01:29:54,763
Fuck that, man.
1743
01:29:54,807 --> 01:29:56,638
I'm ready to merc somebody.
1744
01:29:56,675 --> 01:29:59,872
Pull some big fuckin'
Clint Eastwood shit...
1745
01:29:59,912 --> 01:30:01,903
and blow that nigger's
fuckin' cavities back.
1746
01:30:01,947 --> 01:30:04,177
That's what I say, right?
Blow his cavities back.
1747
01:30:07,119 --> 01:30:09,314
To my astonishment...
1748
01:30:09,355 --> 01:30:12,324
not only did the people
in television land love us...
1749
01:30:12,358 --> 01:30:14,383
but also the critics.
1750
01:30:14,427 --> 01:30:18,022
"Mantan" was being hailed
as groundbreaking...
1751
01:30:18,064 --> 01:30:21,625
barrier-breaking,
also earth-shaking.
1752
01:30:21,667 --> 01:30:24,761
I looked forward to my awards.
1753
01:30:24,804 --> 01:30:28,797
Just vindication
for all my hard work...
1754
01:30:28,841 --> 01:30:32,208
all my talent that had
previously been overlooked.
1755
01:30:32,244 --> 01:30:34,474
Pierre Delacroix for "Mantan"!
1756
01:30:43,289 --> 01:30:45,223
Mira, I love you!
1757
01:30:45,257 --> 01:30:46,724
You don't know this...
1758
01:30:46,759 --> 01:30:48,420
but we both took Mandarin
together at Harvard.
1759
01:30:48,461 --> 01:30:50,929
You didn't notice me,
I sat in the back of the class.
1760
01:30:50,963 --> 01:30:55,093
You are like the light
reflected off an angel!
1761
01:30:55,134 --> 01:30:59,036
That routine
would go over like gangbusters.
1762
01:30:59,071 --> 01:31:01,665
I would be a dancing fool.
1763
01:31:01,707 --> 01:31:04,198
Hollywood's new favorite Negro.
1764
01:31:04,243 --> 01:31:07,144
Move over,
Danny, Morgan, Samuel L.!
1765
01:31:07,179 --> 01:31:09,943
Out of my way,
Eddie and Wesley!
1766
01:31:09,982 --> 01:31:12,177
Make room for me, Will Smith!
1767
01:31:12,218 --> 01:31:14,914
Here comes Delacroix!
1768
01:31:14,954 --> 01:31:16,512
Show me the money!
1769
01:31:16,555 --> 01:31:19,490
Best New
Situational Comedy is...
1770
01:31:19,525 --> 01:31:21,152
Pierre Delacroix...
1771
01:31:21,193 --> 01:31:24,788
for "Mantan: The New
Millennium Minstrel Show."
1772
01:31:28,300 --> 01:31:31,599
I want to thank
the Academy truly...
1773
01:31:31,637 --> 01:31:35,004
for this award.
1774
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:37,941
Right now, words escape me.
1775
01:31:37,977 --> 01:31:40,172
Which is odd for a writer,
of course.
1776
01:31:40,212 --> 01:31:44,342
Mr. Modine, would you please
join me at the podium?
1777
01:31:44,383 --> 01:31:50,253
Now, I have never met this man
in my life before.
1778
01:31:50,289 --> 01:31:52,280
I...
1779
01:31:52,324 --> 01:31:54,849
am his greatest fan.
1780
01:31:54,894 --> 01:31:56,452
I've seen all your work.
1781
01:31:56,495 --> 01:32:00,829
I've seen you in "Rumble Fish"
and "Flamingo Kid"...
1782
01:32:00,866 --> 01:32:02,663
and "Something About Mary"
and "Wild Things."
1783
01:32:02,701 --> 01:32:05,101
I've just watched that
over and over--
1784
01:32:05,137 --> 01:32:07,071
Matt Dillon?
1785
01:32:10,109 --> 01:32:12,077
I'm sure if you
were in those movies...
1786
01:32:12,111 --> 01:32:13,635
you would have been
just as brilliant...
1787
01:32:13,679 --> 01:32:16,409
so I want to thank you
from the bowels of my heart...
1788
01:32:16,448 --> 01:32:18,678
and I want you
to have this Emmy, please.
1789
01:32:18,717 --> 01:32:20,412
I do not deserve it.
1790
01:32:20,452 --> 01:32:22,010
I can't accept this, Pierre.
1791
01:32:22,054 --> 01:32:23,817
That's very generous of you
and very kind.
1792
01:32:23,856 --> 01:32:25,847
Give it to the garbageman!
1793
01:32:25,891 --> 01:32:27,483
This is for "Mantan"--
1794
01:32:27,526 --> 01:32:29,721
Give this man his Emmy!
1795
01:32:33,032 --> 01:32:38,368
If I did that,
I'd be assured of work forever.
1796
01:32:38,404 --> 01:32:41,999
Delacroix...
the grateful Negro.
1797
01:32:42,041 --> 01:32:45,238
All right, we're takin' it
from the same spot.
1798
01:32:45,277 --> 01:32:46,904
Toehill, don't rush.
1799
01:32:46,946 --> 01:32:49,938
One, two, three, and...
1800
01:32:57,356 --> 01:32:58,584
Don't rush!
1801
01:33:04,263 --> 01:33:06,197
Come on, get down there!
1802
01:33:08,567 --> 01:33:10,797
Pivots toe.
1803
01:33:25,351 --> 01:33:28,013
Come on now, what was that?
1804
01:33:28,053 --> 01:33:29,987
Let me hear you,
Lil'nigger Jim.
1805
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:36,257
Let me hear you once again, man.
1806
01:33:38,163 --> 01:33:40,358
Wrong! How old are you, man?
1807
01:33:40,399 --> 01:33:42,731
- Ten.
- You want to live to see eleven?
1808
01:33:42,768 --> 01:33:44,235
What's going on, man?
1809
01:33:44,270 --> 01:33:46,830
Y'all need a break or something?
1810
01:33:46,872 --> 01:33:48,499
Let's take a break.
1811
01:33:48,540 --> 01:33:50,269
Take a ten-minute break.
1812
01:33:50,309 --> 01:33:52,903
Take a break.
Y'all take a break, man!
1813
01:33:52,945 --> 01:33:55,106
Yo, what's up, man?
1814
01:33:55,147 --> 01:33:57,115
I don't know, man. Sorry.
1815
01:33:57,149 --> 01:33:58,514
Surprised at you, man.
1816
01:34:07,059 --> 01:34:08,219
Whassup?
1817
01:34:08,260 --> 01:34:09,727
Whassup?
1818
01:34:09,762 --> 01:34:12,060
Since when do you start
talking to people like that?
1819
01:34:12,097 --> 01:34:13,928
Tell me, when that start?
1820
01:34:13,966 --> 01:34:15,399
When you start that?
1821
01:34:15,434 --> 01:34:17,299
You see what they're doin'
to my 'ography, man?
1822
01:34:17,336 --> 01:34:18,564
They're messin' it up, man.
1823
01:34:18,604 --> 01:34:20,572
Trippin', man.
I'm not drinkin' the Kool-Aid.
1824
01:34:20,606 --> 01:34:22,631
You ain't drinkin'?
What you mean?
1825
01:34:22,675 --> 01:34:25,405
Like Jim Jones.
I'm not drinkin' the Kool-Aid.
1826
01:34:25,444 --> 01:34:27,469
What you talkin' about, man?
1827
01:34:27,513 --> 01:34:30,949
This pickaninny,
watermelon bullshit!
1828
01:34:30,983 --> 01:34:34,111
I'm out! I'm raisin' up!
The fuck outta here.
1829
01:34:34,153 --> 01:34:35,484
You out?
1830
01:34:35,521 --> 01:34:38,319
Know what, man?
Good. Be out.
1831
01:34:38,357 --> 01:34:39,824
'Cause I got a broken back...
1832
01:34:39,858 --> 01:34:41,883
from carrying you around
all these years anyway.
1833
01:34:41,927 --> 01:34:43,588
So that's what you been doing?
1834
01:34:45,698 --> 01:34:48,132
Stand up. Stand up, OK?
1835
01:34:48,167 --> 01:34:50,465
That what you been doing?
1836
01:34:50,502 --> 01:34:52,299
You been carrying me?
1837
01:34:52,338 --> 01:34:55,671
We were on the streets
you weren't talking that shit.
1838
01:34:55,708 --> 01:34:57,801
When you was hungry...
1839
01:34:57,843 --> 01:35:00,710
you wasn't taking that shit,
was you?
1840
01:35:00,746 --> 01:35:02,577
What you been
doing push-ups now?
1841
01:35:02,614 --> 01:35:05,412
Know you coppin' a diesel now?
1842
01:35:05,451 --> 01:35:06,941
Don't sit down, Manny.
1843
01:35:09,655 --> 01:35:12,055
- I don't know--
- You gonna jump?
1844
01:35:12,091 --> 01:35:13,752
What's up? Do you remember me?
1845
01:35:13,792 --> 01:35:15,657
Do you remember me?
1846
01:35:15,694 --> 01:35:17,992
Do you?
1847
01:35:18,030 --> 01:35:19,827
You remember me?
1848
01:35:19,865 --> 01:35:22,925
That what I thought.
1849
01:35:22,968 --> 01:35:26,301
Just what I thought right there.
1850
01:35:26,338 --> 01:35:29,034
Go ahead, man.
1851
01:35:29,074 --> 01:35:31,201
Do what you want right now.
1852
01:35:31,243 --> 01:35:33,211
I'm handling mines, man.
1853
01:35:33,245 --> 01:35:34,803
Got a roof over my head.
1854
01:35:34,847 --> 01:35:37,372
Fuckin' with you,
we'd still be on the street.
1855
01:35:37,416 --> 01:35:38,713
You calling me a cling-on?
1856
01:35:38,751 --> 01:35:41,413
You been draggin' me?
I been dead weight to you?
1857
01:35:41,453 --> 01:35:42,579
Is that what I been?
1858
01:35:42,621 --> 01:35:45,112
New millennium, huh?
1859
01:35:45,157 --> 01:35:48,058
It's the same bullshit!
1860
01:35:48,093 --> 01:35:49,958
Just done over.
1861
01:35:49,995 --> 01:35:51,257
Same bullshit.
1862
01:35:57,736 --> 01:35:59,897
Yassa, l...
1863
01:35:59,938 --> 01:36:02,873
What you want me to do, massa?
1864
01:36:02,908 --> 01:36:05,206
Anything for you, sir.
1865
01:36:05,244 --> 01:36:07,678
I sang for you.
1866
01:36:07,713 --> 01:36:11,740
I tap-dance for you, massa.
1867
01:36:12,818 --> 01:36:15,810
I coon for you.
1868
01:36:15,854 --> 01:36:19,881
Anything just
to make you laugh, massa.
1869
01:36:20,993 --> 01:36:22,392
Yassa.
1870
01:36:40,913 --> 01:36:42,847
You should call him.
1871
01:36:42,881 --> 01:36:45,850
I'm not really thinking
about Womack right now...
1872
01:36:45,884 --> 01:36:47,249
you know what I mean?
1873
01:36:47,286 --> 01:36:48,719
What am I callin' him for?
1874
01:36:48,754 --> 01:36:50,813
He left.
He should be callin' me.
1875
01:36:50,856 --> 01:36:52,585
You gotta be the bigger person.
1876
01:36:52,624 --> 01:36:56,458
Don't take it on the ego thing,
'cause it's not about that.
1877
01:36:56,495 --> 01:36:58,190
He comes in...
1878
01:36:58,230 --> 01:37:01,688
All right, it may have been
a bad time or whatever...
1879
01:37:01,733 --> 01:37:04,201
but he came at me, like...
1880
01:37:04,236 --> 01:37:07,205
like he was my boss
or somethin' like...
1881
01:37:07,239 --> 01:37:09,264
"What am I doing talkin'
to the kids like that?"
1882
01:37:09,308 --> 01:37:12,744
Talkin' like that 'cause
they not gettin' the 'ography.
1883
01:37:12,778 --> 01:37:15,804
He just gotta go into some...
1884
01:37:15,848 --> 01:37:18,214
"Do you remember" daze...
1885
01:37:18,250 --> 01:37:22,812
jumpin' at me like
he gonna knock my head off...
1886
01:37:22,855 --> 01:37:25,153
beat me up in the studio.
1887
01:37:25,190 --> 01:37:26,657
I'm just like...
1888
01:37:26,692 --> 01:37:28,592
"No, I'm not feelin' you
right now, Womack.
1889
01:37:28,627 --> 01:37:30,026
"Straight up."
1890
01:37:30,062 --> 01:37:31,859
You want me to call him?
1891
01:37:31,897 --> 01:37:34,627
I'm not callin' no Womack.
1892
01:37:34,666 --> 01:37:36,065
Man, he calls me.
1893
01:37:36,335 --> 01:37:40,169
So how long have you
and Hambone been hanging out?
1894
01:37:40,205 --> 01:37:42,173
We're friends.
1895
01:37:42,207 --> 01:37:45,074
Really? That's not what
your brother seems to think.
1896
01:37:45,110 --> 01:37:47,078
He's playing
that big brother role...
1897
01:37:47,112 --> 01:37:48,306
so whatever.
1898
01:37:48,347 --> 01:37:51,942
So, are you getting "jiggy"
with him?
1899
01:37:51,984 --> 01:37:55,943
Pierre, I don't really think
that's any of your business.
1900
01:37:55,988 --> 01:37:58,821
So why am I here?
1901
01:37:58,857 --> 01:38:01,724
Well, Mr. Dunwitty and l...
1902
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,524
feel that you're getting
too close to him...
1903
01:38:04,563 --> 01:38:07,498
and that his mind
is being messed up.
1904
01:38:07,533 --> 01:38:13,563
He's unfocused.
I demand you stop seeing him.
1905
01:38:13,605 --> 01:38:15,402
Work-related or otherwise?
1906
01:38:15,440 --> 01:38:18,238
Otherwise, and I trust
you know the difference.
1907
01:38:18,277 --> 01:38:22,373
If he asks me something,
I can't lie to him.
1908
01:38:22,414 --> 01:38:23,574
I have to tell him the truth.
1909
01:38:23,615 --> 01:38:26,709
Do you have to be
so damn forthright?
1910
01:38:26,752 --> 01:38:28,549
You should try it sometime.
1911
01:38:28,587 --> 01:38:30,452
When are you gonna
come into the light?
1912
01:38:30,489 --> 01:38:32,218
- The light?
- The light!
1913
01:38:32,257 --> 01:38:36,489
Don't you give me none of
this mumbo-jumbo bullshit...
1914
01:38:36,528 --> 01:38:39,895
because your hands
are just as bloody as mine.
1915
01:38:39,932 --> 01:38:43,060
I know where I made
my big mistake.
1916
01:38:43,101 --> 01:38:46,070
I should have never gotten
romantically involved...
1917
01:38:46,104 --> 01:38:49,369
with the help.
1918
01:38:50,642 --> 01:38:52,337
What did you just say?
1919
01:38:53,946 --> 01:38:57,882
Nigger, did you just
call me your help?
1920
01:38:59,651 --> 01:39:01,983
Is that what you think of me?
1921
01:39:02,020 --> 01:39:04,716
Let me tell you a thing
or two about help...
1922
01:39:04,756 --> 01:39:07,884
Peerless Dothan...
1923
01:39:07,926 --> 01:39:12,920
if you weren't so busy fucking
Maryann, Sue, and Beth...
1924
01:39:12,965 --> 01:39:15,991
maybe you would have a little
more stroke in your back.
1925
01:39:16,034 --> 01:39:18,195
Now help that shit out.
1926
01:39:18,236 --> 01:39:19,863
Get out.
1927
01:39:19,905 --> 01:39:23,534
Get the fuck out!
1928
01:39:28,480 --> 01:39:31,210
You know what?
1929
01:39:31,249 --> 01:39:34,707
You are fucked up.
1930
01:39:36,755 --> 01:39:38,689
Look at that shit.
1931
01:39:38,724 --> 01:39:41,192
That could help
your sorry ass one day.
1932
01:39:44,129 --> 01:39:47,360
I trust you can
help yourself out.
1933
01:39:49,935 --> 01:39:51,903
What you did was dead wrong.
1934
01:39:51,937 --> 01:39:54,201
Wrong. Capital "W" wrong.
1935
01:39:54,239 --> 01:39:56,503
Buddy boy, in this business...
1936
01:39:56,541 --> 01:39:59,271
if you do not produce,
you get fired.
1937
01:39:59,311 --> 01:40:00,869
It's that simple.
1938
01:40:00,912 --> 01:40:03,881
Sloan is the hardest
working person I ever met.
1939
01:40:03,915 --> 01:40:06,440
You're a bright young man.
1940
01:40:06,485 --> 01:40:08,817
How do you think she got
the gig in the first place?
1941
01:40:10,722 --> 01:40:13,850
I hate to burst your bubble,
Mantan the Marvelous...
1942
01:40:13,892 --> 01:40:16,952
but Sloan is an opportunist.
1943
01:40:16,995 --> 01:40:20,362
Naw, man.
You don't believe that.
1944
01:40:20,399 --> 01:40:21,889
I don't believe that.
1945
01:40:21,933 --> 01:40:23,423
Do I have
to spell it out for you?
1946
01:40:23,468 --> 01:40:28,030
In fact, why don't you
go ask her yourself?
1947
01:40:28,073 --> 01:40:31,270
Ask her. Say, "Sloan,
how did you get this gig?"
1948
01:40:31,309 --> 01:40:32,606
How did you get this gig?
1949
01:40:32,644 --> 01:40:36,603
I had an internship
and I worked like a dog...
1950
01:40:36,648 --> 01:40:38,741
to get in the position
that I'm in today.
1951
01:40:38,784 --> 01:40:40,411
You leaving something out?
1952
01:40:40,452 --> 01:40:42,977
Like I said...
1953
01:40:43,021 --> 01:40:45,046
I had an internship...
1954
01:40:45,090 --> 01:40:47,320
Dela liked how I worked...
1955
01:40:47,359 --> 01:40:49,589
and he hired me
as his assistant.
1956
01:40:49,628 --> 01:40:51,528
And?
1957
01:40:51,563 --> 01:40:54,691
And what?
1958
01:40:54,733 --> 01:40:57,133
Don't play me right now, Sloan.
1959
01:40:57,169 --> 01:41:02,436
Manray, if you have something
to ask me, ask it.
1960
01:41:02,474 --> 01:41:04,374
You just want me to say it?
1961
01:41:04,409 --> 01:41:06,274
Say what?
1962
01:41:08,947 --> 01:41:10,346
Did you ever sleep with Dela?
1963
01:41:10,382 --> 01:41:11,849
Yes, I did.
1964
01:41:11,883 --> 01:41:13,350
I knew it.
1965
01:41:13,385 --> 01:41:15,615
Listen, it doesn't
have anything to do...
1966
01:41:15,654 --> 01:41:17,588
with how I got my job.
1967
01:41:17,622 --> 01:41:20,318
It was a mistake, OK?
1968
01:41:20,358 --> 01:41:22,690
It happened
a very long time ago...
1969
01:41:22,728 --> 01:41:25,595
and it doesn't have anything
to do with me and you.
1970
01:41:27,432 --> 01:41:29,024
You know what?
1971
01:41:29,067 --> 01:41:31,194
I think you was probably
gonna play me...
1972
01:41:31,236 --> 01:41:34,399
try to use me
just like you used Dela...
1973
01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:37,431
to work your way to the top.
1974
01:41:37,476 --> 01:41:39,944
It's funny how people
in this business...
1975
01:41:39,978 --> 01:41:42,242
can just flip on you like lHOP.
1976
01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:44,214
I'm glad he fired your ass.
1977
01:41:48,286 --> 01:41:49,480
You...
1978
01:41:50,956 --> 01:41:52,924
You know what?
1979
01:41:52,958 --> 01:41:55,085
Let me tell you what's funny.
1980
01:41:55,127 --> 01:41:58,221
It's funny how a man
always has to perceive...
1981
01:41:58,263 --> 01:41:59,730
an attractive young lady...
1982
01:41:59,765 --> 01:42:01,733
as having to fuck
or suck somebody...
1983
01:42:01,767 --> 01:42:03,462
in order to get to the top.
1984
01:42:03,502 --> 01:42:05,402
It doesn't have anything
to do with the fact...
1985
01:42:05,437 --> 01:42:07,132
that I'm intelligent maybe?
1986
01:42:07,172 --> 01:42:10,107
Or have anything to do
with the fact that I have drive?
1987
01:42:10,142 --> 01:42:11,666
That doesn't matter!
1988
01:42:11,710 --> 01:42:12,938
No, I fucked him.
1989
01:42:12,978 --> 01:42:15,071
Yes, I fucked him.
How about that?
1990
01:42:18,517 --> 01:42:22,886
The question is--
Are you a puppet for Dela?
1991
01:42:22,921 --> 01:42:24,582
Don't try to change the subject.
1992
01:42:24,623 --> 01:42:25,920
I'm not changing anything.
1993
01:42:25,957 --> 01:42:27,322
I'm asking you a question.
1994
01:42:27,359 --> 01:42:29,884
Are you a puppet for Dela?
1995
01:42:29,928 --> 01:42:33,091
No. I'm lookin'
at Dela's puppet.
1996
01:42:33,131 --> 01:42:35,725
Then the real question is...
1997
01:42:37,536 --> 01:42:39,401
Whose puppet are you?
1998
01:42:47,712 --> 01:42:49,236
Hello, Mommy. How are you?
1999
01:42:49,281 --> 01:42:51,579
I'm just fine, honey.
2000
01:42:51,616 --> 01:42:55,643
I've just been here
reading about your show.
2001
01:42:55,687 --> 01:42:57,746
It's everywhere.
2002
01:42:57,789 --> 01:43:00,986
I only saw it once.
2003
01:43:01,026 --> 01:43:03,221
I thought you told me
there would be no buffoonery.
2004
01:43:03,261 --> 01:43:05,695
Are you going to attack me, too?
2005
01:43:05,730 --> 01:43:08,426
The show is a hit.
Why can't you be happy for me?
2006
01:43:08,466 --> 01:43:11,526
Of course I'm happy for you,
honey...
2007
01:43:11,570 --> 01:43:14,801
but a coon is a coon.
2008
01:43:17,342 --> 01:43:18,570
Peerless.
2009
01:43:18,610 --> 01:43:19,770
What?
2010
01:43:19,811 --> 01:43:23,338
You work so hard
for your success, honey.
2011
01:43:23,381 --> 01:43:26,441
Yes, I have--very hard.
2012
01:43:26,484 --> 01:43:27,781
Has my father called?
2013
01:43:29,020 --> 01:43:30,214
Not at all?
2014
01:43:30,255 --> 01:43:33,019
Well, honey,
you know your daddy.
2015
01:43:34,192 --> 01:43:36,422
If and when he does call...
2016
01:43:36,461 --> 01:43:39,919
please don't forget to ask him
if he's seen "Mantan."
2017
01:43:39,965 --> 01:43:41,626
I will, honey.
2018
01:43:44,936 --> 01:43:47,302
You disappoint me.
2019
01:43:47,339 --> 01:43:50,831
Yes, well, I have to go now.
2020
01:43:52,644 --> 01:43:54,635
What the hell
are you smiling at?
2021
01:44:07,292 --> 01:44:08,953
Jolly nigger bank.
2022
01:45:19,731 --> 01:45:21,961
When I thought or imagined...
2023
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:24,935
that my favorite
jolly nigger bank--
2024
01:45:24,970 --> 01:45:29,202
an inanimate object,
a piece of cold cast iron...
2025
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:33,199
was moving by itself,
I knew I was getting paranoid.
2026
01:45:33,244 --> 01:45:36,179
Did I really see what I saw?
2027
01:45:36,214 --> 01:45:39,149
Or was I hallucinating?
2028
01:45:39,484 --> 01:45:43,284
What's up, my millennium people?
2029
01:45:56,468 --> 01:45:58,561
My name is...
2030
01:46:00,338 --> 01:46:03,899
Honest Abe Honeycutt.
2031
01:46:08,446 --> 01:46:10,744
And I just have
one thing to say.
2032
01:46:10,782 --> 01:46:12,306
- What?
- What is it?
2033
01:46:19,391 --> 01:46:21,291
Sounds so good
I got to do it again.
2034
01:46:27,298 --> 01:46:29,562
And four score...
2035
01:46:29,601 --> 01:46:31,535
and seven years ago...
2036
01:46:33,405 --> 01:46:37,205
they was kicking
our black asses.
2037
01:46:37,242 --> 01:46:39,437
Boy, I mean they had a whip...
2038
01:46:39,477 --> 01:46:41,877
and they was kicking
our black asses...
2039
01:46:41,913 --> 01:46:43,608
from can't see in the morning...
2040
01:46:43,648 --> 01:46:48,415
until can't see at night.
2041
01:46:48,453 --> 01:46:56,553
But this is the new millennium!
2042
01:46:56,594 --> 01:47:00,325
How's everybody doing?
2043
01:47:00,365 --> 01:47:03,664
Grandma Bull, is you a nigger?
2044
01:47:03,701 --> 01:47:06,499
Yes, sirree, bob.
2045
01:47:06,538 --> 01:47:07,903
Darn tootin' I'm a nigger.
2046
01:47:10,475 --> 01:47:13,103
Give her applause.
Give her some applause.
2047
01:47:13,144 --> 01:47:15,476
I love you.
2048
01:47:15,513 --> 01:47:17,981
My boy, is you a nigger?
2049
01:47:18,016 --> 01:47:20,644
Honeycutt, you be a nigger.
2050
01:47:25,290 --> 01:47:26,780
Let's be niggers together!
2051
01:47:26,825 --> 01:47:28,224
Boom, boom, Honeycutt!
2052
01:47:28,259 --> 01:47:31,456
Boom, boom, Honeycutt!
2053
01:47:31,496 --> 01:47:32,861
Are you a nigger?
2054
01:47:32,897 --> 01:47:37,732
Yes. I'm from the Bronx, man.
2055
01:47:37,769 --> 01:47:41,261
Home of the world champions!
New York Yankees!
2056
01:47:46,845 --> 01:47:48,472
Where you from, my sister?
2057
01:47:48,513 --> 01:47:50,105
Puerto Rico.
2058
01:47:50,148 --> 01:47:52,878
That's right, baby,
so I'm not just a nigger.
2059
01:47:52,917 --> 01:47:55,886
I'm a nigger, OK?
2060
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:57,854
Send something
to our other sisters out there.
2061
01:47:59,858 --> 01:48:03,157
If you not a nigger,
be a nigger!
2062
01:48:04,229 --> 01:48:05,389
Is you a nigger?
2063
01:48:05,430 --> 01:48:07,227
I'm a Sicilian nigger...
2064
01:48:07,265 --> 01:48:11,167
which means I'm more of a nigger
than any nigger in here.
2065
01:48:13,671 --> 01:48:15,969
Because you know what
they say about Sicilians.
2066
01:48:16,007 --> 01:48:18,441
We're darker than most niggers.
2067
01:48:18,476 --> 01:48:21,377
We're bigger than most niggers.
2068
01:48:21,412 --> 01:48:22,902
And we rap better
than most niggers.
2069
01:48:22,947 --> 01:48:26,508
I'm white, not black,
but not all the time
2070
01:48:26,551 --> 01:48:29,076
I'm in blackface,
and I'm feelin' fine
2071
01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:31,884
No matter what color,
no matter what race
2072
01:48:31,923 --> 01:48:34,949
You know you're cold chillin'
when you're in blackface
2073
01:48:39,797 --> 01:48:41,958
Can I find somebody?
Wait a minute.
2074
01:48:43,701 --> 01:48:45,862
Lord have mercy.
2075
01:48:45,904 --> 01:48:48,532
Is you a nigger?
2076
01:48:48,573 --> 01:48:51,736
Honeycutt, I don't know about
all the other people in here...
2077
01:48:51,776 --> 01:48:54,540
but I'm keepin' it real.
You know what I'm sayin'?
2078
01:48:54,579 --> 01:48:57,173
I'm keepin' it real
2079
01:48:57,215 --> 01:48:58,512
I got one more thing to say.
2080
01:48:58,550 --> 01:49:02,384
I am a really real negress.
Thank you.
2081
01:49:02,420 --> 01:49:04,354
A real negress!
2082
01:49:04,389 --> 01:49:06,220
A negress!
2083
01:49:09,861 --> 01:49:11,556
Y'all ain't going
to waste no time, huh?
2084
01:49:11,596 --> 01:49:13,257
Him!
2085
01:49:13,298 --> 01:49:14,629
You!
2086
01:49:14,666 --> 01:49:15,758
You!
2087
01:49:19,704 --> 01:49:24,903
We are all God's niggers!
2088
01:49:24,943 --> 01:49:29,573
Even the lost souls who
don't know that they niggers.
2089
01:49:29,614 --> 01:49:31,878
They niggers, too.
2090
01:49:31,916 --> 01:49:35,647
- Do you know why?
- Why?
2091
01:49:35,687 --> 01:49:38,656
'Cause niggers
is a beautiful thing.
2092
01:49:38,690 --> 01:49:43,650
Niggers is a beautiful thing!
2093
01:49:48,466 --> 01:49:51,060
Sorry I'm late.
Tough time catching a cab.
2094
01:49:51,102 --> 01:49:52,797
Perhaps they thought
you were Danny Glover.
2095
01:49:57,242 --> 01:49:58,834
- Delacroix here.
- This is Bunning.
2096
01:49:58,876 --> 01:50:02,039
I have Mantan up there,
and he's not getting dressed...
2097
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:04,412
and he's not in makeup.
What am I supposed to do?
2098
01:50:04,449 --> 01:50:06,917
- He's not in blackface.
- I'll be right there.
2099
01:50:06,951 --> 01:50:08,646
You want to check
on the little delay?
2100
01:50:08,686 --> 01:50:10,449
That's where I'm going.
2101
01:50:10,488 --> 01:50:11,614
I'm just keepin' it real.
2102
01:50:11,689 --> 01:50:13,247
Where is he?
2103
01:50:18,496 --> 01:50:21,659
Mantan, what's going on here?
We have a show to tape.
2104
01:50:21,699 --> 01:50:24,293
My name is Manray,
God damn it.
2105
01:50:24,335 --> 01:50:28,328
God damn it, Manray,
we've got a show to tape.
2106
01:50:28,373 --> 01:50:29,738
Please.
2107
01:50:29,774 --> 01:50:33,471
Go to your room, put on
your costume, and blacken up.
2108
01:50:33,511 --> 01:50:36,480
Look, man,
I'm not playing myself no more.
2109
01:50:36,514 --> 01:50:38,277
Come again?
2110
01:50:38,316 --> 01:50:39,476
I'm done, man.
2111
01:50:39,517 --> 01:50:42,509
This whole blackface buck shit,
I'm done, man.
2112
01:50:42,553 --> 01:50:44,282
I know what you're
going through right now.
2113
01:50:44,322 --> 01:50:47,223
I mean, first,
Womack and then Sloan.
2114
01:50:47,258 --> 01:50:49,055
Oh, my God.
It broke my heart...
2115
01:50:49,093 --> 01:50:51,561
to have to be the one
to pull your coattails...
2116
01:50:51,596 --> 01:50:53,996
as to her sexual exploits.
2117
01:50:54,032 --> 01:50:58,969
However,
we must remain professional.
2118
01:50:59,003 --> 01:51:01,597
The show must go on.
2119
01:51:01,639 --> 01:51:03,698
I will always be professional...
2120
01:51:03,741 --> 01:51:05,231
but as far
as this buck dancing...
2121
01:51:05,276 --> 01:51:07,141
this blackface shit,
I'm not doing it.
2122
01:51:07,178 --> 01:51:08,907
No costume, no blackface?
2123
01:51:08,946 --> 01:51:10,777
Hell, no blackface.
2124
01:51:12,317 --> 01:51:14,717
Fine.
2125
01:51:14,752 --> 01:51:17,050
It's going to be your funeral.
2126
01:51:17,088 --> 01:51:19,283
We want Mantan!
2127
01:51:25,196 --> 01:51:28,256
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you very much.
2128
01:51:28,299 --> 01:51:30,767
We apologize for the holdup.
2129
01:51:30,802 --> 01:51:33,396
So, without any further delay,
ladies and gentlemen...
2130
01:51:33,438 --> 01:51:38,000
give it up for Mantan!
2131
01:52:10,074 --> 01:52:11,837
What's going on?
2132
01:52:11,876 --> 01:52:13,070
What do you mean,
you don't know?
2133
01:52:15,613 --> 01:52:17,137
Cousins...
2134
01:52:18,716 --> 01:52:22,550
I want you all
to go to your windows.
2135
01:52:22,587 --> 01:52:24,817
Go to your windows and yell out.
2136
01:52:24,856 --> 01:52:28,952
Scream with all the life
that you can muster up...
2137
01:52:28,993 --> 01:52:31,791
inside your bruised...
2138
01:52:31,829 --> 01:52:35,424
assaulted,
and battered bodies.
2139
01:52:35,466 --> 01:52:39,732
I am sick and tired
of being a nigger...
2140
01:52:39,771 --> 01:52:44,174
and I am not going
to take it anymore!
2141
01:52:44,208 --> 01:52:45,937
Sick and tired
of being a nigger?
2142
01:52:45,977 --> 01:52:47,410
What?
2143
01:52:53,451 --> 01:52:56,045
I don't think he's getting up.
2144
01:53:00,958 --> 01:53:03,051
- What is this?
- It must be a dance.
2145
01:53:06,063 --> 01:53:07,792
What the fuck is going on here?
2146
01:53:10,635 --> 01:53:12,865
Stop the tape!
2147
01:53:12,904 --> 01:53:14,667
Stop the goddamn tape!
2148
01:53:14,705 --> 01:53:16,070
Stop! Cut it!
2149
01:53:17,074 --> 01:53:19,133
Cut! Cut!
2150
01:53:19,177 --> 01:53:21,702
What are you doing?
2151
01:53:21,746 --> 01:53:22,974
Stop dancing!
2152
01:53:23,014 --> 01:53:24,538
Get him out of the building!
2153
01:53:24,582 --> 01:53:26,812
- Stop dancing!
- Get off me!
2154
01:53:26,851 --> 01:53:28,045
Stop dancing!
2155
01:53:28,085 --> 01:53:29,712
Yo, what you doing?
2156
01:53:29,754 --> 01:53:31,847
We apologize,
ladies and gentlemen.
2157
01:53:31,889 --> 01:53:34,824
Just relax. We'll be right back
with a good show.
2158
01:53:34,859 --> 01:53:36,656
Hold that.
2159
01:53:36,694 --> 01:53:39,390
Get him out of here!
Get him out.
2160
01:53:39,430 --> 01:53:40,727
Ladies and gentlemen...
2161
01:53:40,765 --> 01:53:43,393
Mantan has come down
with a case of coon-itis.
2162
01:53:43,434 --> 01:53:46,232
We'll take him out back
and whip it right out of him.
2163
01:53:46,270 --> 01:53:49,137
I will have him out here even
if I have to cut off a foot.
2164
01:53:49,173 --> 01:53:51,664
He'll dance like...
2165
01:53:51,709 --> 01:53:53,336
You just relax.
2166
01:53:53,377 --> 01:53:54,537
Get him out.
2167
01:53:54,579 --> 01:53:56,706
Come on, man! I wasn't
finished doing my dancing!
2168
01:53:56,747 --> 01:53:58,237
But you are finished.
You're done.
2169
01:53:58,282 --> 01:54:00,113
Niggers like you
are a dime-a-dozen.
2170
01:54:00,151 --> 01:54:01,311
You think you're special?
2171
01:54:01,352 --> 01:54:03,115
I'm going to slide Honeycutt
right into your spot...
2172
01:54:03,154 --> 01:54:04,519
you fake-ass tap dance kid.
2173
01:54:04,555 --> 01:54:06,489
Get him out of the building.
2174
01:54:06,524 --> 01:54:07,855
Ungrateful mother...
2175
01:54:07,892 --> 01:54:09,086
- Let's go, Honeycutt.
- Yes, sir.
2176
01:54:09,126 --> 01:54:10,821
I'll deal with you next.
2177
01:54:13,297 --> 01:54:15,527
Don't ever come back no more!
2178
01:54:15,566 --> 01:54:17,761
This is bullshit.
2179
01:54:27,812 --> 01:54:29,211
You a dead motherfucker.
2180
01:54:29,247 --> 01:54:30,976
What did I do, man?
2181
01:54:31,015 --> 01:54:33,381
The cryin' motherfucker
wanna know what he did.
2182
01:54:33,417 --> 01:54:34,884
That's your goddamn problem.
2183
01:54:34,919 --> 01:54:37,046
You know exactly
what the fuck you did.
2184
01:54:37,088 --> 01:54:40,615
Negro, you will be executed.
2185
01:54:40,658 --> 01:54:41,852
For what?
2186
01:54:41,893 --> 01:54:43,827
For singing and dancing?
2187
01:54:43,861 --> 01:54:45,226
I was just hoofin', man.
2188
01:54:45,263 --> 01:54:46,662
Just hoofin', man.
2189
01:54:46,697 --> 01:54:48,722
You're going to be done
in front of the whole world.
2190
01:54:48,766 --> 01:54:50,666
Telemundo.
2191
01:54:50,701 --> 01:54:53,602
The whole world
is going to be watching this.
2192
01:54:53,638 --> 01:54:57,039
The Mau Maus had come up with
a brilliant, sadistic plan...
2193
01:54:57,074 --> 01:54:59,975
to broadcast
Mantan's execution live.
2194
01:55:00,011 --> 01:55:02,878
No way we gonna be found out.
You ain't even here.
2195
01:55:02,914 --> 01:55:04,939
Motherfucker,
you in cyberspace, man.
2196
01:55:04,982 --> 01:55:07,348
This is gonna really
boost your ratings.
2197
01:55:07,385 --> 01:55:10,354
Beat the mass, Mau Maus
be about land and freedom
2198
01:55:10,388 --> 01:55:11,753
Reparation and apologies
2199
01:55:11,789 --> 01:55:13,689
For African to America odysseys
2200
01:55:13,724 --> 01:55:16,284
Guerrilla-type tactics
on them socialistic fallacies
2201
01:55:16,327 --> 01:55:17,453
It be about the devastation
2202
01:55:17,495 --> 01:55:19,224
Of the social Darwinistic
thought
2203
01:55:19,263 --> 01:55:20,821
Keep a brown man down, sport
2204
01:55:20,865 --> 01:55:23,356
They wanna keep an eye
on the fetch and set nigger
2205
01:55:23,401 --> 01:55:24,766
The way fresh, and I'll put it
2206
01:55:24,802 --> 01:55:26,429
They lucky
I ain't red wretched yet
2207
01:55:26,470 --> 01:55:29,371
Yo, you fucked up
in the game now
2208
01:55:29,407 --> 01:55:32,501
The Mau Maus sent anonymous
e-mail proclamations...
2209
01:55:32,543 --> 01:55:38,038
to the web sites
of CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS.
2210
01:55:38,082 --> 01:55:41,677
It was an invite
to witness the dance of death--
2211
01:55:41,719 --> 01:55:44,688
Ten p.m. Prime time,
tomorrow night.
2212
01:55:44,722 --> 01:55:46,986
Bow down, there's four lives
in the ground now
2213
01:55:47,024 --> 01:55:48,286
Shake 'em down
2214
01:55:48,326 --> 01:55:49,793
Black monk like that Thelonious
2215
01:55:49,827 --> 01:55:51,556
The government
got the black phobia
2216
01:55:51,596 --> 01:55:54,531
Hello.
My name is Thomas Dunwitty.
2217
01:55:54,565 --> 01:55:56,055
I'm the senior V.P...
2218
01:55:56,100 --> 01:55:59,297
of the entertainment division
here at CNS.
2219
01:55:59,337 --> 01:56:02,033
I come to you
with a heavy heart.
2220
01:56:02,073 --> 01:56:04,234
This abduction is a cowardly...
2221
01:56:04,275 --> 01:56:07,073
vile, sinful,
and dastardly act...
2222
01:56:07,111 --> 01:56:10,512
and I promise that these creeps
will be prosecuted...
2223
01:56:10,548 --> 01:56:13,073
to the fullest extent
of the law.
2224
01:56:13,117 --> 01:56:18,054
This is a total, complete attack
on our American way of life.
2225
01:56:18,089 --> 01:56:19,556
We here at CNS...
2226
01:56:19,590 --> 01:56:22,582
are offering
a $1 million cash reward...
2227
01:56:22,627 --> 01:56:26,119
for any information that leads
to the safe return home...
2228
01:56:26,163 --> 01:56:29,564
of our dear friend
and homey Mantan.
2229
01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:32,535
Mantan,
our prayers are with you...
2230
01:56:32,570 --> 01:56:35,300
and may God bless America.
2231
01:56:39,477 --> 01:56:41,138
It was 10:00...
2232
01:56:41,178 --> 01:56:44,147
and the Dance of Death
was about to commence.
2233
01:56:44,181 --> 01:56:47,173
Since a lot of people
still don't have computers...
2234
01:56:47,218 --> 01:56:50,949
the networks sought a
court order to carry it live...
2235
01:56:50,988 --> 01:56:53,388
taking it off the feed.
2236
01:56:53,424 --> 01:56:54,823
It was granted.
2237
01:56:54,859 --> 01:56:56,451
A live snuff broadcast...
2238
01:56:56,494 --> 01:56:59,122
right into the comfort
of your living room.
2239
01:56:59,163 --> 01:57:02,394
Yo, we're live in five, four...
2240
01:57:02,433 --> 01:57:04,401
three, two...
2241
01:57:04,435 --> 01:57:08,269
We are now live in cyberspace.
2242
01:57:08,305 --> 01:57:11,570
Whereas Mantan is a Tom.
2243
01:57:11,609 --> 01:57:15,272
Whereas Mantan is a disgrace.
2244
01:57:15,312 --> 01:57:19,476
Whereas Mantan
is a head-scratchin'...
2245
01:57:19,517 --> 01:57:24,147
foot-shufflin' Negro!
2246
01:57:24,188 --> 01:57:25,621
Let me go, man!
2247
01:57:25,656 --> 01:57:27,817
Be strong, boy. Be strong.
2248
01:57:27,858 --> 01:57:31,385
Dancing fool
is condemned to death.
2249
01:57:31,429 --> 01:57:33,795
I's a good Negro.
2250
01:57:33,831 --> 01:57:35,389
See that bitch's dancing feet?
2251
01:57:35,433 --> 01:57:37,264
Let's show you
some real educated feets.
2252
01:57:37,301 --> 01:57:40,566
Show us some of them
fancy moves.
2253
01:57:40,604 --> 01:57:43,004
Get your ass up.
Get that nigger up.
2254
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:45,565
Let him do some dancing for us.
2255
01:57:45,609 --> 01:57:47,270
Get up on your feet, man.
2256
01:57:47,311 --> 01:57:50,576
Show us them feet.
Don't be ashamed.
2257
01:57:50,614 --> 01:57:54,141
- Dance for us!
- Showtime!
2258
01:58:56,547 --> 01:58:58,640
You fucked up in the game now.
2259
01:59:33,951 --> 01:59:35,942
Stop it! Stop it!
2260
01:59:35,986 --> 01:59:37,317
Stop it!
2261
01:59:37,354 --> 01:59:39,720
Stop it, I say!
2262
01:59:41,158 --> 01:59:45,891
Leave me alone!
2263
01:59:45,930 --> 01:59:46,919
Spear chuckers!
2264
01:59:47,932 --> 01:59:50,457
Get rid of these porch monkeys!
2265
01:59:50,501 --> 01:59:52,628
Jungle bunny!
2266
01:59:56,307 --> 01:59:57,797
Yo, dawg.
2267
01:59:57,842 --> 02:00:00,709
Yo, I'm fucked up, dawg.
2268
02:00:00,744 --> 02:00:03,110
Yo, you need a light?
2269
02:00:03,147 --> 02:00:05,240
Yo, man, I got some fire.
2270
02:00:08,085 --> 02:00:10,485
Yo, who got the fire?
2271
02:00:10,521 --> 02:00:12,421
Who got the flame?
2272
02:00:12,456 --> 02:00:15,152
Shit. Hey!
2273
02:00:23,934 --> 02:00:26,732
Why didn't you kill me?
2274
02:00:26,770 --> 02:00:28,135
I'm black!
2275
02:00:28,172 --> 02:00:29,298
Why didn't you kill me?
2276
02:00:29,340 --> 02:00:31,900
I'm black! I'm black!
2277
02:00:31,942 --> 02:00:35,036
All it takes is
one fucking drop of black blood!
2278
02:00:35,079 --> 02:00:36,808
Everyone thinks he's black!
2279
02:00:36,847 --> 02:00:39,042
Mau Maus!
2280
02:00:39,083 --> 02:00:41,051
You should've killed me.
2281
02:00:41,085 --> 02:00:44,748
You should've fucking killed me!
2282
02:00:44,788 --> 02:00:48,485
All it takes is one fucking drop
of black blood, motherfucker!
2283
02:00:48,525 --> 02:00:51,722
You're black!
2284
02:00:51,762 --> 02:00:53,423
Get the fuck off me!
2285
02:01:48,819 --> 02:01:50,582
Hi, Peerless.
2286
02:01:53,891 --> 02:01:56,985
You done fucked up now.
2287
02:01:57,027 --> 02:02:02,021
You didn't think
I had one of these, did you?
2288
02:02:04,768 --> 02:02:06,099
My brother gave me this.
2289
02:02:10,341 --> 02:02:12,809
Oh, I see..
2290
02:02:12,843 --> 02:02:15,311
you brought my tape.
2291
02:02:15,346 --> 02:02:18,281
Get up and put it in.
2292
02:02:20,784 --> 02:02:23,480
Get up and put it in!
2293
02:02:35,232 --> 02:02:40,101
That's right.
You'll listen to me tonight.
2294
02:02:40,137 --> 02:02:42,571
All this time, you didn't listen
to what I had to say...
2295
02:02:42,606 --> 02:02:44,597
but you going to listen
to me tonight.
2296
02:02:44,641 --> 02:02:48,304
This is "Listen to Sloan Day."
2297
02:02:58,355 --> 02:03:01,085
It's my night.
2298
02:03:01,125 --> 02:03:03,491
I want you
to look at this shit.
2299
02:03:03,527 --> 02:03:08,726
Look to what you contributed to.
2300
02:03:08,766 --> 02:03:12,532
Because of you,
my brother's dead.
2301
02:03:12,569 --> 02:03:15,561
Manray. You done
fucked up everything!
2302
02:03:20,177 --> 02:03:23,340
- Think they're cannibals?
- You see this shit?
2303
02:03:23,380 --> 02:03:25,473
They wouldn't dare do that
to white people.
2304
02:03:25,516 --> 02:03:27,484
Maybe they want
some dark meat.
2305
02:03:27,518 --> 02:03:30,681
What do you have to say
for yourself?
2306
02:03:37,861 --> 02:03:40,329
What do you have to say
for yourself?
2307
02:03:42,066 --> 02:03:44,057
Sloan, give me the gun.
2308
02:03:44,101 --> 02:03:46,535
- Don't.
- Please.
2309
02:03:47,738 --> 02:03:50,866
Don't, Peerless.
Don't make me. No.
2310
02:03:50,908 --> 02:03:52,603
Don't come over here.
2311
02:04:05,823 --> 02:04:07,916
Peerless...
2312
02:04:07,958 --> 02:04:10,256
I'm sorry.
2313
02:04:10,294 --> 02:04:11,727
It's OK.
2314
02:04:11,762 --> 02:04:16,324
You never listened to me.
You made me do that.
2315
02:04:20,437 --> 02:04:22,371
As I bled to death...
2316
02:04:22,406 --> 02:04:25,739
as my very life
oozed out of me...
2317
02:04:25,776 --> 02:04:27,437
all I could think of
was something...
2318
02:04:27,478 --> 02:04:31,812
the great Negro
James Baldwin had written.
2319
02:04:31,849 --> 02:04:35,910
"People pay for what they do,
and still more...
2320
02:04:35,953 --> 02:04:39,616
"for what they have allowed
themselves to become...
2321
02:04:39,656 --> 02:04:44,753
"and they pay for it very simply
by the lives they lead."
2322
02:04:44,795 --> 02:04:47,787
Now it was time for me
to buy the farm...
2323
02:04:47,831 --> 02:04:49,822
to meet my maker.
2324
02:04:49,867 --> 02:04:52,097
Good-bye, cousins.
2325
02:04:52,136 --> 02:04:55,697
Please tune in next week
for the best of...
2326
02:04:55,739 --> 02:05:02,144
"Mantan: The New Millennium
Minstrel show."
2327
02:05:02,179 --> 02:05:03,771
Gonna to put your shoes on?
2328
02:05:03,814 --> 02:05:08,012
No, sir. Savin' them
in case my feet wear out.
2329
02:05:08,051 --> 02:05:10,042
Well, Mr. Bones,
how are you this evening?
2330
02:05:10,087 --> 02:05:11,884
Me?
2331
02:05:11,922 --> 02:05:14,413
I's the personification
of health, Mr. Christie.
2332
02:05:14,458 --> 02:05:18,121
Good. Who was that lady
I saw you with this afternoon?
2333
02:05:18,162 --> 02:05:21,654
That was no lady.
That was my wife.
2334
02:05:45,022 --> 02:05:48,116
I'll bust your head.
2335
02:05:48,158 --> 02:05:50,456
Good gracious me.
2336
02:06:11,949 --> 02:06:13,473
Who is that?
2337
02:06:26,363 --> 02:06:28,194
What gives?
2338
02:06:29,299 --> 02:06:32,291
What's the matter with you, boy?
2339
02:06:37,741 --> 02:06:44,169
My mam... Mammy.
2340
02:06:44,214 --> 02:06:46,375
- What was that?
- How'd I know?
2341
02:06:46,416 --> 02:06:48,714
Are you ready, Liza?
2342
02:06:48,752 --> 02:06:50,913
I's ready, Uncle Tom.
2343
02:06:50,954 --> 02:06:53,320
Is you ready, Simon Legree?
2344
02:06:53,357 --> 02:06:55,154
I'm always ready.
2345
02:07:04,801 --> 02:07:07,793
I broke in as a bootblack,
you know.
2346
02:07:07,838 --> 02:07:08,827
Here we go.
2347
02:07:12,242 --> 02:07:13,766
For a month and a half,
I've been dreaming...
2348
02:07:13,810 --> 02:07:16,244
how pretty
I was going to look tonight.
2349
02:07:16,280 --> 02:07:19,738
Here's my punishment
for thinking so well of myself.
2350
02:07:19,783 --> 02:07:23,310
This is tough
to put on and take off.
2351
02:07:25,756 --> 02:07:27,053
You know, you're lucky.
2352
02:08:00,057 --> 02:08:01,524
Cut them monkeyshines.
2353
02:08:01,558 --> 02:08:03,788
Chicken house?
What am I waiting for?
2354
02:08:03,827 --> 02:08:05,294
I don't know.
2355
02:08:05,329 --> 02:08:07,229
Me, either. Tally ho.
2356
02:08:10,734 --> 02:08:11,826
Yes, sir.
2357
02:08:11,868 --> 02:08:13,460
Yes, sir, mister.
2358
02:08:13,503 --> 02:08:14,470
Yes, sir.
2359
02:08:14,504 --> 02:08:17,200
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, Miss Bellmer.
2360
02:08:17,240 --> 02:08:19,037
Yes, Miss Maggie.
2361
02:08:19,076 --> 02:08:24,139
Brothers, it's certainly going
to be a lesson to me.
2362
02:08:24,181 --> 02:08:28,481
Maybe Baldwin was right,
maybe he was wrong...
2363
02:08:28,518 --> 02:08:32,386
but as my father
often told me...
2364
02:08:32,422 --> 02:08:36,085
"Always keep 'em laughing."
