Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,704 --> 00:00:05,272
Previously on American Soul...
2
00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:06,740
You hear that, Mikey?
You're short.
3
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:09,643
A lot of people
4
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:11,044
loving Don tonight.
5
00:00:11,111 --> 00:00:12,646
This is Private Barker.
He served with your dad.
6
00:00:12,713 --> 00:00:13,814
He'll be staying with us
7
00:00:13,881 --> 00:00:15,048
a few days in the garage.
8
00:00:15,115 --> 00:00:16,817
Your family will be protected.
9
00:00:16,884 --> 00:00:18,118
Simone is a gift.
10
00:00:18,185 --> 00:00:19,586
Almost as good as you were.
11
00:00:19,653 --> 00:00:22,623
-How old are you?
-I'll be 17 in a few months.
12
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:25,125
After today, I realized
that I'm running out of time.
13
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:27,327
I want another shot.
I want to dance.
14
00:00:27,394 --> 00:00:30,964
Are you incompetent
or just plain stupid?
15
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:32,633
You will never speak to me
like that again.
16
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:34,568
{\an8}Hey, aren't youFrederick Douglass?
17
00:00:34,635 --> 00:00:36,470
{\an8}I've been watching the progress
18
00:00:36,537 --> 00:00:38,639
{\an8}of our people, and I'm quitefamiliar with the natural.
19
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:41,842
{\an8}And I'm also aware that it is
worn as an outward expression
20
00:00:41,909 --> 00:00:43,510
{\an8}of pride and dignity.
21
00:00:43,577 --> 00:00:45,512
{\an8}-So, haven't you forgotten...?
- Right.
22
00:00:45,579 --> 00:00:48,348
{\an8}My Afro Sheen comb-easy
and hair spray for sheen.
23
00:00:48,415 --> 00:00:51,685
{\an8}You know, I can dig this
getting my fro together.
24
00:00:53,453 --> 00:00:55,956
{\an8}-I know
what you're thinking, Don.
- Huh?
25
00:00:56,023 --> 00:00:59,126
{\an8}Marcus Garvey wasn't available.
26
00:00:59,193 --> 00:01:00,894
{\an8}108 years
of emancipation, George,
27
00:01:00,961 --> 00:01:02,729
{\an8}and this is what we're worth?
28
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:04,798
{\an8}-Oh, save the speech, Don.
- George, you know
what would happen
29
00:01:04,865 --> 00:01:06,300
{\an8}if I put this shit on the air?
30
00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:08,402
{\an8}Now, don't you mean
if we put this shit on?
31
00:01:08,468 --> 00:01:10,237
{\an8}Mr. Cornelius, we're on in ten.
32
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:12,706
{\an8}-Energy up, people.
Don, I need a word.
- Later.
33
00:01:12,773 --> 00:01:14,908
{\an8}I don't know what surprises me
more, the fact that
34
00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:17,444
{\an8}you made this, or that you can't
see how ignorant it is.
35
00:01:17,511 --> 00:01:19,980
{\an8}"Don't do it. Stay away.
It's a minstrel show."
36
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,382
{\an8}Look, the boys begged me
not to back you, Don.
37
00:01:22,449 --> 00:01:24,585
{\an8}So get down from
that high horse and realize
38
00:01:24,651 --> 00:01:26,453
{\an8}you are not the only one
with skin in the game.
39
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,155
{\an8}But it's my face
out there, George.
40
00:01:28,222 --> 00:01:29,656
{\an8}It wouldn't be out there
if it wasn't for me.
41
00:01:29,723 --> 00:01:31,325
{\an8}It's dumb, shameful
and we're cutting it.
42
00:01:31,391 --> 00:01:33,660
{\an8}It's fun, educational
and we are running it.
43
00:01:33,727 --> 00:01:35,662
{\an8}I'm front-loading
every segment I can,
44
00:01:35,729 --> 00:01:37,497
{\an8}-but if Richard doesn't show...
- He will show.
45
00:01:37,564 --> 00:01:39,566
{\an8}-And if he's not...
- He will be here, Tessa.
46
00:01:39,633 --> 00:01:41,502
{\an8}We've got all
the pictures we need, Don.
47
00:01:41,568 --> 00:01:43,437
{\an8}-Time to finish our sit-down.
- Tessa Lorraine,
meet Jean Jones.
48
00:01:43,504 --> 00:01:44,972
{\an8}Jean is with Right On! magazine.
49
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:47,174
{\an8}And all I need is one more hour
50
00:01:47,241 --> 00:01:48,976
{\an8}of this man's time and I'm done.
51
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:51,812
{\an8}Ms. Jones is here to interview
me for the December issue.
52
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:54,481
{\an8}He's on the cover,
and I'm on the clock.
53
00:01:54,548 --> 00:01:55,916
{\an8}Shall we?
54
00:01:55,983 --> 00:01:57,618
{\an8}Tessa, could you please show
Ms. Jones around the set?
55
00:01:57,684 --> 00:01:59,887
{\an8}-I won't be long.
- Of course.
56
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:02,122
{\an8}Right this way.
57
00:02:02,189 --> 00:02:04,057
{\an8}I've seen the set!
58
00:02:04,057 --> 00:02:06,793
{\an8}The seat of power.
59
00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:09,763
{\an8}-I like it.
- And it likes you.
60
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:11,331
{\an8}Mm.
61
00:02:13,066 --> 00:02:16,803
{\an8}Contracts for the bus tour.
62
00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:19,439
{\an8}Three acts, five cities.
63
00:02:19,506 --> 00:02:21,975
{\an8}The other five cities,
you're on your own.
64
00:02:22,075 --> 00:02:23,810
{\an8}Membership has its privileges.
65
00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:26,346
{\an8}Eh, don't let it
go to your head.
66
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:32,085
{\an8}What are you doing later?
67
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:36,456
{\an8}You, if the mood strikes.
68
00:02:37,858 --> 00:02:40,794
{\an8}I'm watching Ali/Mathis tonight
at the club.
69
00:02:40,861 --> 00:02:44,331
{\an8}-Join me and we can
make a night of it.
70
00:02:44,398 --> 00:02:48,802
{\an8}You want to show me a good time,
you got to do better than that.
71
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:54,374
{\an8}Call me
when he's fighting Frazier.
72
00:02:56,476 --> 00:02:58,812
{\an8}Here's my card.
I'm telling you,
Willie, it's gonna be like
73
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:00,614
{\an8}two giants fighting
over the beanstalk, baby,
74
00:03:00,681 --> 00:03:02,349
{\an8}and the golden goose
is coming home.
75
00:03:02,416 --> 00:03:04,384
{\an8}In the center,
these two on an angle.
76
00:03:04,451 --> 00:03:06,787
{\an8}How difficult is that?
Hey, hey, hey.
77
00:03:06,854 --> 00:03:08,355
{\an8}Careful with that case.
78
00:03:08,422 --> 00:03:10,290
{\an8}Champagne's worth
more than your house.
79
00:03:10,357 --> 00:03:13,260
{\an8}-So why you giving it away?
- Thing about being boss, Willie,
80
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:15,529
{\an8}the richer you get,
the more you get for free.
81
00:03:17,297 --> 00:03:19,199
{\an8}-You know him?
- No.
82
00:03:22,069 --> 00:03:24,705
{\an8}What can I do for you,
Mr. Taylor?
83
00:03:24,771 --> 00:03:27,508
{\an8}Marlo, please.
I'm an investigator.
84
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:29,810
{\an8}I'm looking for some answers.
85
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,745
{\an8}Who's cutting your check?
86
00:03:31,812 --> 00:03:34,448
{\an8}Shantel Lewis,
Michael Lewis's wife.
87
00:03:34,515 --> 00:03:36,650
{\an8}Mikey? I ain't seen him
in a minute.
88
00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:38,685
{\an8}Well, he's officially missing,
89
00:03:38,752 --> 00:03:40,654
{\an8}and one of your associates
is a prime suspect.
90
00:03:40,721 --> 00:03:43,390
{\an8}Keep talking,
I'll keep listening.
91
00:03:43,457 --> 00:03:46,293
{\an8}Herschel Green. Mr. Lewis
owed him a small fortune.
92
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,961
{\an8}It's no secret
what kind of man Herschel is.
93
00:03:48,095 --> 00:03:50,097
{\an8}Yeah, I think you should check
who you're talking to.
94
00:03:50,097 --> 00:03:51,498
{\an8}Herschel's my boss.
95
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:53,667
{\an8}Your problems with Herschel
are also no secret.
96
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:56,336
{\an8}You scratch my back,
I'll massage yours.
97
00:03:56,403 --> 00:04:00,774
{\an8}Tell Mrs. Lewis I'm sure
Mikey will be home soon.
98
00:04:00,841 --> 00:04:04,878
{\an8}Sometimes a man just needs
a little time to himself.
99
00:04:15,322 --> 00:04:18,258
{\an8}-What day is it?
- Oh, heck nah. No, no.
100
00:04:18,325 --> 00:04:20,227
{\an8}Ma. Put-- co-- no.
101
00:04:25,332 --> 00:04:28,268
{\an8}Hey!
102
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:37,244
{\an8}Yeah!
103
00:04:37,311 --> 00:04:38,946
{\an8}You're stupid.
104
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:40,314
{\an8}Says the girl wearing a tiara.
105
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:42,115
{\an8}-Eh, it wasn't my plan.
106
00:04:42,182 --> 00:04:44,985
You know what to do.
Make a wish.
107
00:04:45,085 --> 00:04:46,987
{\an8}Okay.
108
00:04:47,087 --> 00:04:48,956
{\an8}-That one.
- Oh, good job.
109
00:04:49,089 --> 00:04:52,459
Okay. Okay. Okay.
110
00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:54,761
-Happy birthday, baby.
-Oh.
111
00:04:54,828 --> 00:04:58,098
From... Daddy?
112
00:04:58,098 --> 00:05:00,534
Aw. Okay.
113
00:05:04,838 --> 00:05:06,573
Oh, I love this song.
114
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,042
- That's so cute.
- That's beautiful.
115
00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:35,869
Ma...
116
00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:00,394
for Christmas.
117
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:02,663
So I thought...
118
00:06:12,039 --> 00:06:14,908
"You belong on a Tarzan episode,
not my TV.
119
00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:19,079
"So take that Zulu dancing
jigaboo shit back to Africa
120
00:06:19,146 --> 00:06:22,149
before I hang you from a tree
where you should be."
121
00:06:22,216 --> 00:06:26,053
Don't imagine Dick Clark
gets many letters like this.
122
00:06:26,119 --> 00:06:27,721
Cost of being black in America.
123
00:06:27,788 --> 00:06:30,457
How often do you receive
these death threats?
124
00:06:30,524 --> 00:06:32,626
Not often enough to stop.
125
00:06:33,527 --> 00:06:35,495
Little Richard tonight.
126
00:06:35,562 --> 00:06:37,364
Suddenly,
you're the black Dick Clark.
127
00:06:37,431 --> 00:06:38,866
-What changed?
-Now that
128
00:06:38,932 --> 00:06:41,168
-is a trade secret, Jean.
-Speaking of secrets,
129
00:06:41,235 --> 00:06:43,303
I hear Soul Train season two
is on the horizon.
130
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:46,373
Well, that's news to me,
but I'll damn sure take it.
131
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,675
Your wife Delores
132
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:52,079
played a major role in launching
Soul Train Chicago.
133
00:06:52,145 --> 00:06:55,082
-Why didn't she come to L.A.?
-Now, Jean, is that something
134
00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:57,251
that Right On! readers
really want to hear?
135
00:06:59,219 --> 00:07:00,921
- This is Don.
- Don, it's Richie.
136
00:07:01,021 --> 00:07:03,290
I've got a P-R-O-B-L-E-M
problem, baby.
137
00:07:03,357 --> 00:07:06,059
Richard, something tells me that
you are not in the greenroom.
138
00:07:06,126 --> 00:07:07,561
Greenroom, nah. Green cash call.
139
00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:10,163
My friend, Rose,
she's, uh, kicking me out,
140
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:12,299
and she's keeping my goods
if I don't give her 500 bucks.
141
00:07:12,366 --> 00:07:13,800
-And you're short.
-Come on,
142
00:07:13,867 --> 00:07:14,935
- you know Richie's good for it.
- Richard!
143
00:07:15,035 --> 00:07:16,703
Stop, girl!
Yo, woman, stop playing!
144
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,038
Get the heck out of my house!
145
00:07:18,071 --> 00:07:20,073
Where are you?
I'll send someone.
146
00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:21,441
706 Hawthorne.
147
00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:23,277
This requires a personal
touch-touch, you dig?
148
00:07:23,343 --> 00:07:25,112
- I'm on my way.
- No, I'm not kidding with you!
149
00:07:25,179 --> 00:07:26,747
Get out!
150
00:07:26,813 --> 00:07:30,083
Business before beauty, Jean.
151
00:07:31,185 --> 00:07:33,053
-Sorry.
-So am I.
152
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,422
I don't have enough material
to write a story.
153
00:07:35,489 --> 00:07:37,391
We don't finish today,
it doesn't run.
154
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:40,594
We'll finish after the show.
- No can do.
155
00:07:40,661 --> 00:07:42,563
Either take me along,
or you can kiss the cover
156
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:44,865
of Right On! adios.
157
00:07:49,369 --> 00:07:50,470
After you.
158
00:08:04,785 --> 00:08:07,020
All right, we'll call you.
159
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:08,889
If y'all don't have
your five dollars out,
160
00:08:09,022 --> 00:08:12,059
I'm sending you
to the back of the line. Next!
161
00:08:16,563 --> 00:08:18,765
My name is Violet Simms.
I'm from Leimert Park,
162
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:21,702
and I'm the newest member
of the Soul TrainGang, baby.
163
00:08:21,768 --> 00:08:24,037
Well, damn.
Well, I'm-a go ahead
164
00:08:24,037 --> 00:08:26,206
and refund
your five dollars now,
165
00:08:26,273 --> 00:08:29,042
because this set can't take
another earthquake!
166
00:08:32,379 --> 00:08:34,615
-What do you think you're doing?
-Just having a little fun.
167
00:08:34,681 --> 00:08:37,050
-That's all.
-So if I mocked you
and made you pay for a chance
168
00:08:37,050 --> 00:08:39,152
to get laughed at,
you'd think that was fun?
169
00:08:39,219 --> 00:08:42,723
Inside, every one of you. Now.
170
00:08:42,789 --> 00:08:45,859
Break it up, guys.
This is not an audition.
171
00:08:45,926 --> 00:08:48,795
Sorry. Hey!
172
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:52,633
Fine.
173
00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:54,968
I'm sorry about this.
174
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:57,604
That girl is one nerve away
from being done.
175
00:08:57,671 --> 00:08:59,373
Oh, no. You can't fire Flo.
176
00:08:59,439 --> 00:09:01,742
She got mad moves,
like James Brown
177
00:09:01,808 --> 00:09:04,178
and Josephine Baker had a baby.
178
00:09:04,244 --> 00:09:07,214
A cute old mean-ass baby.
179
00:09:07,281 --> 00:09:08,448
What's your name?
180
00:09:08,515 --> 00:09:10,417
I'm Violet. Violet Simms.
181
00:09:10,484 --> 00:09:13,053
Well, Violet, I'm Tessa.
182
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,789
And it's not dancing,
but your prize for winning today
183
00:09:15,856 --> 00:09:19,026
-is being my assistant,
if you want.
-Shh-- I do!
184
00:09:19,026 --> 00:09:21,628
This is the most unqualified
I ever been for a job.
185
00:09:21,695 --> 00:09:23,630
I accept.
186
00:09:25,098 --> 00:09:28,368
Ah-- stay here.
187
00:09:28,435 --> 00:09:30,270
Enjoy the leather seats.
188
00:09:35,342 --> 00:09:37,277
Excuse me, slim.
189
00:09:37,344 --> 00:09:40,514
-Is this 706 Hawthorne?
-Don-Don, it's me.
190
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:43,450
Richard?
191
00:09:43,517 --> 00:09:45,052
Sorry, cat.
I didn't recognize you.
192
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:46,687
That's exactly what I'm saying.
193
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:49,189
Rose got me in a hostage mode.
194
00:09:49,256 --> 00:09:52,426
My inner self is locked
in that house, honey.
195
00:09:52,492 --> 00:09:54,928
All right, well,
let's go find it.
196
00:09:55,062 --> 00:09:56,597
Okay, oh...
197
00:09:56,663 --> 00:09:58,232
Richard, every minute
you out here playing games
198
00:09:58,298 --> 00:10:00,801
is costing me, so your girl
better figure this shit out.
199
00:10:00,868 --> 00:10:02,236
Oh, no, she's just
a friend, Don.
200
00:10:02,302 --> 00:10:05,339
Well, will this friend
listen to reason?
201
00:10:05,405 --> 00:10:08,275
If there's a dollar sign
attached to that reason,
202
00:10:08,342 --> 00:10:10,143
oh, she'll listen, honey.
203
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:12,813
Come on.
204
00:10:16,183 --> 00:10:18,785
Hi. Rose, is it?
205
00:10:18,852 --> 00:10:21,622
-Don Cornelius.
-I don't give a shit.
206
00:10:21,688 --> 00:10:23,757
-Of course.
-Mm... mm-mm...
207
00:10:23,824 --> 00:10:25,325
Well, Richard tells me
he's having trouble
208
00:10:25,392 --> 00:10:26,493
getting his things.
209
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:27,895
Still don't give a shit.
210
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:30,764
Hoping you can give a shit now.
211
00:10:30,831 --> 00:10:32,766
Now, did he give a shit
212
00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:34,768
when he lied about
putting me on tour?
213
00:10:34,835 --> 00:10:36,336
-Huh?
-Mm-mm.
214
00:10:36,403 --> 00:10:38,205
Oh, no? Or how about when he
215
00:10:38,272 --> 00:10:41,074
promised me I could sing backup?
You promised me!
216
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:42,809
So why do you think money
217
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:45,612
would make me give a shit
about this little shit?
218
00:10:49,183 --> 00:10:50,551
Mm...
219
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:57,591
Richard, why am I thinking
that this
220
00:10:57,658 --> 00:10:59,226
is about more than
you're letting on?
221
00:10:59,293 --> 00:11:02,162
Don-Don, she is an enigma
222
00:11:02,229 --> 00:11:05,532
wrapped in a secret
guarded by a question mark.
223
00:11:05,599 --> 00:11:08,602
She's "wop bop a loo bop
a lop" cuckoo!
224
00:11:10,804 --> 00:11:12,940
You smell that?
225
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:18,745
Oh, Jesus! Woo, my clothes!
226
00:11:18,812 --> 00:11:20,080
{\an8}Oh, sweet Jesus,
not my clothes!
227
00:11:20,147 --> 00:11:21,648
{\an8}No, no, no, no, no.
Richard, Richard, Richard.
228
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:22,983
Itsy bitsy Little Richard.
229
00:11:23,083 --> 00:11:25,085
You a liar. Now say good-bye!
230
00:11:25,118 --> 00:11:27,888
-No, no. No.
-No, no! Not the kimono!
-Say good-bye!
231
00:11:30,423 --> 00:11:32,425
Leaves your hairsilky, shining, touchable...
232
00:11:32,492 --> 00:11:33,693
Thanks, Ma Mable.
233
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,028
If you see JT,
234
00:11:35,095 --> 00:11:36,830
let him know
that the table is reserved
235
00:11:36,897 --> 00:11:38,798
in his name.
He'll know what it means.
236
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:41,468
Nope, that's it. Thank you.
237
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:43,169
Okay, bye.
238
00:11:46,306 --> 00:11:48,341
Going somewhere?
239
00:11:48,408 --> 00:11:51,444
None of your business.
240
00:11:51,511 --> 00:11:54,848
So JT's not coming by after all.
241
00:11:54,915 --> 00:11:57,551
I thought you liked JT.
Why you always cracking him?
242
00:11:57,617 --> 00:12:01,588
JT's cool. Just don't want him
dating my little sister.
243
00:12:01,655 --> 00:12:03,623
You can do better.
244
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:06,359
Mama said the same thing about
Victoria and you didn't listen.
245
00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:09,496
And I should've.
246
00:12:09,563 --> 00:12:12,265
Look...
247
00:12:12,332 --> 00:12:13,767
JT's a follower.
248
00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:15,835
He'll either land
in jail like his dad
249
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:17,971
or on junk like his mom.
250
00:12:18,038 --> 00:12:20,941
Either way, you end up hurt.
251
00:12:29,249 --> 00:12:30,817
Hi.
252
00:12:30,884 --> 00:12:34,187
Oh, that's nice.
253
00:12:40,694 --> 00:12:42,829
It's Aretha Franklin.
254
00:12:42,896 --> 00:12:45,465
We know the answer.
255
00:12:45,532 --> 00:12:47,400
We just make it
look right, girl.
256
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:48,835
Oh.
257
00:12:48,902 --> 00:12:51,504
Don't worry,
we're not rolling sound.
258
00:12:51,571 --> 00:12:53,840
These are reshoots.
259
00:12:53,907 --> 00:12:55,742
The dancers messed up
the scramble board last show,
260
00:12:55,809 --> 00:12:57,410
we had to redo it.
261
00:12:57,477 --> 00:12:59,646
Wait, so they already know the
answers? Isn't that cheating?
262
00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:01,448
"I don't want the world
thinking our dancers
263
00:13:01,514 --> 00:13:02,849
are ignorant Negroes."
264
00:13:02,916 --> 00:13:05,185
The words of Mr. Don Cornelius.
265
00:13:05,252 --> 00:13:06,620
He got this one right.
266
00:13:06,686 --> 00:13:07,888
Yeah, he did. That makes sense.
267
00:13:07,954 --> 00:13:10,123
You file that paperwork?
268
00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:11,958
Yeah, and I updated
your calendar,
269
00:13:12,025 --> 00:13:13,493
and I fixed the drawer
on your desk.
270
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,029
I mean, I know you didn't ask,
but I had to.
271
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:18,164
Well, I got plenty of errands,
272
00:13:18,231 --> 00:13:20,967
but I think you deserve
more independent study.
273
00:13:21,034 --> 00:13:23,737
All right.
I'll keep my big mouth shut.
274
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:26,773
Okay, let's go. And we're cut.
275
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,242
-Mm. Watch your arms.
-Oh!
276
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:32,746
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
277
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:34,314
-And cut!
-And we're cut.
278
00:13:34,381 --> 00:13:36,583
- The cut guy.
- She's an idiot.
279
00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:38,485
Oh, the light guy.
280
00:13:38,552 --> 00:13:40,587
So I heard
you're Tessa's new gopher.
281
00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:42,322
That's a big step up, girl.
282
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:43,690
Yup. Thank you.
283
00:13:43,757 --> 00:13:45,825
-Would you mind if I got
your autograph?
-Sure.
284
00:13:46,726 --> 00:13:48,595
All right.
285
00:13:48,662 --> 00:13:50,630
Make it out to Flo,
286
00:13:50,697 --> 00:13:53,333
and sign it "Fat Alberta."
287
00:13:54,701 --> 00:13:56,169
-Fat Alberta.
-That's a good one.
288
00:13:56,236 --> 00:13:58,572
- Hey, hey, hey, y'all. It's...
- Fat Alberta!
289
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,910
Fat Alberta! Fat Alberta!
290
00:14:03,977 --> 00:14:05,845
Fat Alberta. Hey...
291
00:14:05,912 --> 00:14:08,181
That was a good one.
292
00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:11,418
I didn't know
silk burned like that.
293
00:14:16,156 --> 00:14:19,926
Richard, let's get out of here.
I got racks of wardrobe on set.
294
00:14:22,195 --> 00:14:24,898
I am the best-looking man
in show business.
295
00:14:24,965 --> 00:14:27,200
I'm not going on stage
in your hand-me-downs.
296
00:14:27,267 --> 00:14:29,269
As long as those cameras
roll in 45 minutes,
297
00:14:29,336 --> 00:14:31,838
I don't give a damn
if you go on butt-ass naked.
298
00:14:31,905 --> 00:14:35,108
Oh! You're so tutti frutti, Don.
299
00:14:35,175 --> 00:14:37,510
I know, I know.
300
00:14:37,577 --> 00:14:38,979
Wait in the car,
301
00:14:39,079 --> 00:14:41,348
but seems like you can use
my feminine expertise.
302
00:14:41,414 --> 00:14:42,816
You want to talk to her?
303
00:14:42,883 --> 00:14:45,785
I have a way of getting answers
from reluctant subjects.
304
00:14:45,852 --> 00:14:47,320
Excuse me, who are you,
baby girl?
305
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:51,224
She... is who's gonna get
the rest of your shit back
306
00:14:51,291 --> 00:14:54,094
so I can stop bleeding money
out here in the Twilight Zone.
307
00:14:54,094 --> 00:14:56,663
And you're gonna owe me, Don.
308
00:14:56,730 --> 00:15:00,166
Ooh! That's what Rose
said to me.
309
00:15:01,334 --> 00:15:02,836
No, no, no, no, no.
310
00:15:02,903 --> 00:15:07,774
I can't find my ring, Don. I c--
I can't find my ring!
311
00:15:07,841 --> 00:15:09,776
Rose?
312
00:15:09,843 --> 00:15:11,478
- Oh!
- Hello, Rose?
313
00:15:11,545 --> 00:15:14,114
-Can I come in?
-Rose ain't so mad at me.
314
00:15:14,147 --> 00:15:16,383
She knows I can't go on stage
without Colleen.
315
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:18,552
-You named your ring Colleen?
-You get it back,
316
00:15:18,618 --> 00:15:22,222
I get my ass directly on your
train, swear to the Almighty.
317
00:15:22,289 --> 00:15:24,424
It's in the bedside table,
top drawer.
318
00:15:24,491 --> 00:15:25,625
Let me get this straight.
319
00:15:25,692 --> 00:15:27,928
-You want me to go in there?
-Mm-hmm.
320
00:15:27,994 --> 00:15:29,930
-With her?
-Yes, Jesus.
321
00:15:30,063 --> 00:15:33,233
-To get a ring?
-It's not just a ring, Don.
322
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:35,235
It's Colleen.
323
00:15:35,302 --> 00:15:37,938
Go ahead.
324
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:43,410
Good luck, Don.
325
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:45,412
Yes. She's fast.
326
00:15:45,478 --> 00:15:47,547
Cover up your bits.
327
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:48,882
Ms. Fawcett?
328
00:15:52,152 --> 00:15:53,720
It's the cat's pajamas, man.
329
00:15:53,787 --> 00:15:56,289
Ran into Wilt the Stilt
in the lounge.
330
00:15:56,356 --> 00:15:58,592
Slipped me five large
against Ali.
331
00:15:58,658 --> 00:15:59,860
Add it to the count.
332
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:02,796
And get a bottle of Dom
to Farrah Fawcett.
333
00:16:02,863 --> 00:16:04,998
And help her fine ass
to another table.
334
00:16:05,098 --> 00:16:07,367
She cluttering up
Herschel's seat.
335
00:16:09,369 --> 00:16:12,973
- Oh, look at you, baby girl.
- Zero.
336
00:16:13,106 --> 00:16:14,574
-Not a smidge.
-You're kidding.
337
00:16:14,641 --> 00:16:16,743
-Mm-mm.
-You peaked, Sis.
338
00:16:16,810 --> 00:16:19,613
Looks perfect to me.
339
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:21,548
I need the facilities.
340
00:16:23,650 --> 00:16:25,852
Happy birthday, Simone.
341
00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,288
Something on your mind, son?
342
00:16:28,355 --> 00:16:30,323
I'm just wondering
how long you think
343
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:32,158
Private Barker's
gonna be using our toilet.
344
00:16:32,225 --> 00:16:33,793
He'll be moving on
when the time's right.
345
00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:35,395
It just don't look right, Mama.
346
00:16:35,462 --> 00:16:37,397
All of a sudden you're concerned
about what things look like?
347
00:16:37,464 --> 00:16:41,268
The man's down on his luck.
We owe it to him to help.
348
00:16:42,936 --> 00:16:44,471
Something going on
between you two?
349
00:16:44,538 --> 00:16:45,739
How dare you say that to me?
350
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:48,141
You wondered the same thing
about me and JT.
351
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:51,077
I'll get out of the way.
352
00:16:53,513 --> 00:16:55,982
Yo. Why you wearing
my dad's shirt?
353
00:16:56,082 --> 00:16:58,752
Oh, I just found it
laying in the garage is all.
354
00:16:58,818 --> 00:17:00,086
Kendall, he didn't know.
355
00:17:00,153 --> 00:17:01,354
Yeah, that's all convenient
for someone
356
00:17:01,421 --> 00:17:02,856
who's trying
to take Dad's place.
357
00:17:02,923 --> 00:17:05,091
Easy to fix.
Real easy to fix. Look.
358
00:17:05,158 --> 00:17:06,660
-Yeah, let me help.
-I got it.
359
00:17:06,726 --> 00:17:07,827
Sweetie, don't do that.
360
00:17:07,894 --> 00:17:09,396
Don't. No! Stop it!
361
00:17:09,462 --> 00:17:11,531
-What are you doing? Stop!
-Stop it!
362
00:17:22,943 --> 00:17:26,947
I'm sorry. I understand.
363
00:17:32,619 --> 00:17:33,887
You see that?
364
00:17:33,954 --> 00:17:35,655
That's what you brought
into our home.
365
00:17:35,722 --> 00:17:37,190
What the hell were you thinking?
366
00:17:56,042 --> 00:17:57,310
Here you go, Ms. Tessa.
367
00:17:57,377 --> 00:17:59,812
Oh. Hey, Violet.
368
00:17:59,879 --> 00:18:01,714
That mimeograph machine
got an attitude.
369
00:18:01,781 --> 00:18:03,583
You got...
370
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:06,486
Oh. My allergies.
371
00:18:06,552 --> 00:18:08,087
You wouldn't happen
to be allergic
372
00:18:08,154 --> 00:18:09,756
to a certain group of dancers?
373
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:10,990
No.
374
00:18:11,057 --> 00:18:14,127
Hey, come with me.
375
00:18:14,193 --> 00:18:15,828
Can you keep a secret?
376
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:18,331
Violet Simms,
professional secret keeper.
377
00:18:18,398 --> 00:18:20,033
Mm-hmm.
378
00:18:22,735 --> 00:18:24,270
Aw.
379
00:18:24,337 --> 00:18:26,539
-This you?
-Even my teachers
380
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:28,374
called me "Two-Ton Tessa."
381
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:30,710
Then I fell in love with dance.
382
00:18:30,777 --> 00:18:32,946
The weight fell off,
my confidence soared,
383
00:18:33,012 --> 00:18:34,314
and I never looked back.
384
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:36,549
Don't let those girls
define who you are.
385
00:18:36,616 --> 00:18:39,652
Look, I may be a little down,
386
00:18:39,719 --> 00:18:42,755
and I have a few more pounds
on me than I got need for,
387
00:18:42,822 --> 00:18:46,159
but you got it wrong, Ms. Tessa.
This is the best day of my life.
388
00:18:46,225 --> 00:18:47,594
You know, my mom
389
00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:51,030
always said,
"Jump and a net will appear."
390
00:18:51,097 --> 00:18:53,099
She was right.
391
00:18:53,166 --> 00:18:55,702
Today, I jumped,
392
00:18:55,768 --> 00:18:58,705
and I landed smack dab
in the middle of Soul Train.
393
00:18:58,771 --> 00:19:02,075
- Come on.
- Okay. So...
394
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:04,010
you ready to take another leap?
395
00:19:15,488 --> 00:19:17,490
Biggest payday
of our lives right here.
396
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:20,360
-Only if Ali wins.
-Oh, he gonna win.
397
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:23,062
-Not even Jimmie showed up?
-Nah.
398
00:19:23,129 --> 00:19:24,230
Eddie?
399
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:27,000
Ain't seen him neither.
400
00:19:29,369 --> 00:19:32,005
Put another guard on this money.
401
00:19:32,071 --> 00:19:33,640
- You know, men are dogs.
- Yes.
402
00:19:33,706 --> 00:19:35,508
And sneaky.
403
00:19:35,541 --> 00:19:37,977
-Exactly, just...
-Mm!
404
00:19:38,044 --> 00:19:40,513
-So dishonest!
-Yes, yes. And...
405
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:41,648
Exactly, how he just
406
00:19:41,714 --> 00:19:42,916
boldface lied to me
407
00:19:42,982 --> 00:19:45,151
-about putting me on his tour.
-Yes.
408
00:19:50,456 --> 00:19:52,525
Hand caught in the cookie jar.
409
00:19:52,592 --> 00:19:55,228
You've got a lot of layers, Don.
410
00:19:55,295 --> 00:19:57,764
I am just talking
to the most wonderful woman.
411
00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:59,799
Rose is on the phone.She thinks I'm offering
412
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:02,468
-terms of surrender to Richard.
-So, why aren't you?
413
00:20:02,502 --> 00:20:04,971
- 'Cause I smell a story.
- I'll let you talk to her
414
00:20:05,038 --> 00:20:07,106
right now. Jean!
415
00:20:07,173 --> 00:20:08,708
Hey, Jean!
416
00:20:08,775 --> 00:20:10,843
Look, I don't know
where she went,
417
00:20:10,910 --> 00:20:12,779
but I'll tell you
all about it later.
418
00:20:12,845 --> 00:20:15,715
It is out of sight.
All right, bye.
419
00:20:15,782 --> 00:20:18,818
Jean? Jean,
where'd you go, baby?
420
00:20:18,885 --> 00:20:21,354
I just told my mama
I'm in the band.
421
00:20:21,487 --> 00:20:22,655
Jean?
422
00:20:25,825 --> 00:20:27,293
Jean?
423
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,263
Huh...
424
00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:31,664
Oof.
425
00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:32,832
Hide.
426
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:35,635
Go, go, go. Get in the tub.
427
00:20:44,410 --> 00:20:47,247
-Oh, you're gonna
burn in hell now!
-Go, go, go!
428
00:20:47,313 --> 00:20:48,748
Okay. Rose, Rose!
429
00:20:53,686 --> 00:20:55,588
Mm-hmm.
430
00:20:58,558 --> 00:20:59,926
I'm-I'm gonna help you...
431
00:20:59,993 --> 00:21:02,895
So is Colleen
what you call the ring?
432
00:21:02,962 --> 00:21:06,466
Or what you keep inside of it?
433
00:21:06,499 --> 00:21:09,802
Don, you sly devil.
434
00:21:09,869 --> 00:21:11,671
-Just-- wait, wait, just...
-This is some medicine
435
00:21:11,738 --> 00:21:14,540
-for my nerves.
-Hmm.
436
00:21:14,607 --> 00:21:16,776
But people can see you, Richard.
437
00:21:16,843 --> 00:21:19,479
You're getting sloppy.
438
00:21:19,512 --> 00:21:21,948
Nobody starts off sloppy, Don.
439
00:21:22,015 --> 00:21:24,050
You remember that
when you get here.
440
00:21:24,117 --> 00:21:27,186
We should go.
Rose called the cops.
441
00:21:27,253 --> 00:21:29,022
Ah, Rose loves me.
442
00:21:29,088 --> 00:21:30,890
-Ugh!
-Friends till the end.
Just like us,
443
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:32,191
-Donny Boy.
-Oh, we ain't friends,
Richard,
444
00:21:32,258 --> 00:21:33,660
and your ass is playing
for free tonight.
445
00:21:33,726 --> 00:21:34,827
Get the hell out of here.
I should kill y'all.
446
00:21:34,894 --> 00:21:36,829
Rose-- ow! Baby, stop playing!
447
00:21:36,896 --> 00:21:38,765
- Come on!
- I love you!
448
00:21:38,831 --> 00:21:40,767
I love you too, baby.
Have a good show.
449
00:21:40,833 --> 00:21:42,302
I told you she loves me.
450
00:21:42,368 --> 00:21:44,637
Huh? Bye!
451
00:21:48,775 --> 00:21:50,877
Baby, I'm so sorry.
452
00:21:50,944 --> 00:21:53,046
Is your friend still here?
453
00:21:53,112 --> 00:21:55,214
He stepped out.
454
00:21:55,281 --> 00:21:57,216
But he's coming back.
455
00:22:01,321 --> 00:22:04,891
I'm not sorry
for what I said to Nate.
456
00:22:06,793 --> 00:22:09,228
But I am sorry
for what I said to you.
457
00:22:09,295 --> 00:22:11,631
-Kendall...
-And I'm not sorry
for how I feel.
458
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:17,337
I can't explain it,
459
00:22:17,470 --> 00:22:20,240
but there's a reason
why Nate's here.
460
00:22:22,475 --> 00:22:24,577
When he's around, it's like
your father's still with us.
461
00:22:24,644 --> 00:22:27,013
-So you're choosing him?
-No.
462
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,382
I'm asking you to be patient.
463
00:22:29,482 --> 00:22:32,919
All of this will work out.
464
00:22:32,986 --> 00:22:36,289
When Simone and I get back
from the bus tour,
465
00:22:36,356 --> 00:22:38,091
if he's here...
466
00:22:38,157 --> 00:22:40,793
I won't be.
467
00:23:06,786 --> 00:23:09,122
Marlo Taylor, private dick.
468
00:23:11,457 --> 00:23:13,593
Who sent you? Hmm?
469
00:23:21,768 --> 00:23:23,069
Who sent you?
470
00:23:27,607 --> 00:23:30,076
Who the hell sent you?!
471
00:23:39,335 --> 00:23:41,937
Let me run this.
I'll make you shine.
472
00:23:42,004 --> 00:23:44,573
Someone's gonna
spill the dirt on Richard.
473
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,075
May as well be me.
474
00:23:46,142 --> 00:23:47,910
Okay, let's set professional
integrity aside
475
00:23:47,977 --> 00:23:49,612
and just talk responsibility.
476
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:51,013
The man is an icon.
477
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,682
He's done more
for the image of our people
478
00:23:52,748 --> 00:23:54,316
than me and you times ten.
479
00:23:54,383 --> 00:23:55,918
We highlight
our heroes' worst traits,
480
00:23:55,985 --> 00:23:57,420
we won't have any heroes left.
481
00:23:57,486 --> 00:24:01,624
Or should I take
that little pad out your bag...
482
00:24:01,691 --> 00:24:03,325
and burn it?
483
00:24:05,394 --> 00:24:06,962
You're right.
484
00:24:09,031 --> 00:24:12,535
Everything that I learned
about Richard is off-limits.
485
00:24:12,601 --> 00:24:16,739
Break a leg, Mr. Cornelius.
486
00:24:19,709 --> 00:24:23,312
And we're back
in five, four, three...
487
00:24:23,379 --> 00:24:25,614
Ladies and gentlemen,
we're very proud
488
00:24:25,681 --> 00:24:27,249
to welcome aboard the Soul Train
489
00:24:27,316 --> 00:24:29,085
one of soul music's
greatest contributors,
490
00:24:29,151 --> 00:24:31,654
the king of rock and roll,
Little Richard.
491
00:24:34,357 --> 00:24:35,725
Yes.
492
00:25:16,732 --> 00:25:18,267
Got to be Herschel's guy.
493
00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:19,935
Don't nobody step like this
without his saying.
494
00:25:20,002 --> 00:25:21,303
You ain't wrong.
495
00:25:27,076 --> 00:25:28,644
We got two options, both bad.
496
00:25:28,711 --> 00:25:29,945
Hit back is suicide.
497
00:25:30,012 --> 00:25:32,181
We don't, we're done.
498
00:25:40,589 --> 00:25:43,526
Stuff this scumbag in my trunk.
499
00:25:43,592 --> 00:25:46,128
Hey, Curtis,
come on in here, help me out.
500
00:25:47,029 --> 00:25:49,298
All right, how do I look?
501
00:25:49,365 --> 00:25:50,633
Beautiful.
502
00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:19,328
Flo.
503
00:26:19,395 --> 00:26:20,896
Let her dance.
504
00:26:31,073 --> 00:26:34,143
No. No, no, no. No.
505
00:26:34,276 --> 00:26:36,145
Ah, Don, cancel your plans.
We're going out.
506
00:26:36,278 --> 00:26:38,247
-I can't, George.
-Not my invitation.
507
00:26:38,314 --> 00:26:41,217
Dick Clark called.
A sit-down, tonight.
508
00:26:41,217 --> 00:26:42,685
-A sit-down?
-Mm-hmm.
509
00:26:42,752 --> 00:26:44,053
Dick Clark?
510
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:45,688
So this is business?
511
00:26:45,755 --> 00:26:48,024
Musso & Frank. One hour.
512
00:26:51,327 --> 00:26:53,796
Exactly what the hell
do you think you're doing?
513
00:26:53,863 --> 00:26:55,831
Just spreading the net, Don.
514
00:27:07,743 --> 00:27:10,880
-You know this will never
make the final cut.
-I know.
515
00:27:12,615 --> 00:27:14,583
You also know that
this wasted time is coming
516
00:27:14,650 --> 00:27:16,819
-out of your check.
-I know that, too.
517
00:27:19,522 --> 00:27:21,991
And this little stunt
is worth it?
518
00:27:24,060 --> 00:27:27,163
Remembering who I am,
remembering...
519
00:27:27,263 --> 00:27:29,331
that I have a dream,
520
00:27:29,398 --> 00:27:31,967
and doing everything
I possibly can
521
00:27:32,034 --> 00:27:34,670
to make that dream come true...
522
00:27:37,173 --> 00:27:39,308
I quit, Don.
523
00:27:39,375 --> 00:27:40,409
Quit?
524
00:27:42,578 --> 00:27:45,481
You can't quit. Look, we have
the bus tour coming up
525
00:27:45,548 --> 00:27:48,084
and what about the dance
competition that you planned?
526
00:27:48,217 --> 00:27:49,985
You'll find a way.
527
00:28:09,012 --> 00:28:11,148
Ah, gentlemen.
528
00:28:11,214 --> 00:28:12,449
Please.
529
00:28:12,516 --> 00:28:13,717
I hope this wasn't
too short notice.
530
00:28:13,784 --> 00:28:15,752
Oh, not at all.
We just left set.
531
00:28:15,819 --> 00:28:17,054
Had Little Richard on today.
532
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:18,689
Oh. Richard's wonderful.
533
00:28:18,755 --> 00:28:20,857
You know, the Beatles opened
for Little Richard in London.
534
00:28:20,924 --> 00:28:23,093
Long before they had
a record album. That's vision.
535
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,628
And if there's one thing
that you know,
536
00:28:24,695 --> 00:28:25,796
it's vision, Mr. Clark.
537
00:28:25,862 --> 00:28:27,364
Thank you, Don.
538
00:28:27,431 --> 00:28:29,533
But it's your vision
I'm most impressed with.
539
00:28:29,599 --> 00:28:31,802
Giving the world something
it didn't know it needed.
540
00:28:31,868 --> 00:28:33,937
Soul Train
is a stroke of genius.
541
00:28:34,004 --> 00:28:35,272
Thank you.
542
00:28:35,339 --> 00:28:36,907
And I want to be partners.
543
00:28:36,974 --> 00:28:39,309
So what you're saying is that
you want us to work for you.
544
00:28:39,376 --> 00:28:41,011
What I'm saying is I want
to expand Soul Train
545
00:28:41,078 --> 00:28:43,013
from 14 cities to 400.
546
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,548
I want us international
in a year.
547
00:28:44,614 --> 00:28:46,249
I don't want anyone
in your family
548
00:28:46,316 --> 00:28:49,820
to ever have to worry
about money again.
549
00:28:49,886 --> 00:28:53,023
I want to buy Soul Train.
550
00:28:57,527 --> 00:28:58,929
What do you see, George?
551
00:28:58,996 --> 00:29:00,897
I see an offer to sell out.
552
00:29:02,132 --> 00:29:04,401
And I suspect it's a good one?
553
00:29:04,468 --> 00:29:05,969
I'll let you be
the judge of that.
554
00:29:06,036 --> 00:29:07,371
Excuse me for one minute.
555
00:29:07,437 --> 00:29:09,573
I'm gonna say hello
to some old friends.
556
00:29:21,652 --> 00:29:23,587
What do you think?
557
00:29:24,921 --> 00:29:26,657
I think he knows
what he's doing.
558
00:29:26,723 --> 00:29:28,692
I'm rich, Don.
559
00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:30,193
And you're not.
560
00:29:30,260 --> 00:29:32,462
But this check
could change your life,
561
00:29:32,529 --> 00:29:35,165
give Delores everything
you promised.
562
00:29:35,232 --> 00:29:38,702
And you'll still
have Soul Train.
563
00:29:39,903 --> 00:29:43,106
So? Partners?
564
00:29:43,173 --> 00:29:44,941
You know, this morning,
565
00:29:45,008 --> 00:29:47,344
George and I got
into our first argument.
566
00:29:47,411 --> 00:29:49,513
Over a commercial,
of all things.
567
00:29:49,579 --> 00:29:51,915
But it reminded me of why
568
00:29:51,915 --> 00:29:53,650
we do this show.
569
00:29:53,717 --> 00:29:56,720
We can't sell you Soul Train,
Mr. Clark.
570
00:29:56,787 --> 00:29:59,790
Because it is not ours to sell.
571
00:29:59,923 --> 00:30:01,458
It belongs to Pammy,
572
00:30:01,525 --> 00:30:04,961
our makeup girl, whose parents
were sharecroppers.
573
00:30:05,028 --> 00:30:07,230
And Benny, our stage manager
574
00:30:07,297 --> 00:30:09,599
who drove a cab for years
waiting for his big shot.
575
00:30:09,666 --> 00:30:12,135
It belongs to every black man,
woman and child
576
00:30:12,202 --> 00:30:13,470
who ever dreamt
that they could be more
577
00:30:13,537 --> 00:30:15,172
than they were told
that they are.
578
00:30:15,238 --> 00:30:17,407
So, no, Mr. Clark,
579
00:30:17,474 --> 00:30:19,776
we cannot sell you Soul Train.
580
00:30:23,213 --> 00:30:27,150
You're turning down $5 million
581
00:30:27,217 --> 00:30:30,287
and a 25% stake in perpetuity?
582
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:38,628
Stay for dinner,
have some cigars, it's on me.
583
00:30:42,466 --> 00:30:44,201
Well, he wouldn't
have made this move
584
00:30:44,267 --> 00:30:46,937
if he didn't have
a backup plan in motion.
585
00:30:47,004 --> 00:30:49,339
This ain't over.
586
00:30:49,406 --> 00:30:51,608
-He's coming for us.
-Both guns blazing.
587
00:30:53,677 --> 00:30:56,480
You do know
what this means, right?
588
00:30:59,416 --> 00:31:01,551
We are sitting on a gold mine.
589
00:31:04,955 --> 00:31:07,658
Thank you. Thank you, Dugan's.
590
00:31:07,724 --> 00:31:11,061
Uh, this song's for anyone
who's ever been in love.
591
00:31:31,381 --> 00:31:32,683
Right this way, sir.
592
00:32:18,962 --> 00:32:20,364
Don.
593
00:32:21,298 --> 00:32:23,000
What are you doing here?
594
00:32:23,066 --> 00:32:25,235
Well, I figured since...
595
00:32:25,302 --> 00:32:27,104
you missed the fight,
596
00:32:27,170 --> 00:32:30,240
-we could go a few rounds.
-Hmm.
597
00:32:36,947 --> 00:32:38,148
You can't...
598
00:32:38,215 --> 00:32:40,517
just stop by like this.
599
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,588
You have company.
600
00:32:46,323 --> 00:32:47,557
It's just an old friend.
601
00:32:47,624 --> 00:32:49,259
It's nothing serious.
602
00:32:51,061 --> 00:32:53,597
You're good, right?
603
00:32:53,664 --> 00:32:55,098
Absolutely.
604
00:32:56,900 --> 00:32:58,101
Everything's cool.
605
00:32:58,168 --> 00:33:00,737
Hey.
606
00:33:00,804 --> 00:33:02,873
This...
607
00:33:02,939 --> 00:33:04,841
it's fun, right?
608
00:33:04,908 --> 00:33:06,943
When you get back from the tour,
609
00:33:07,010 --> 00:33:09,613
we'll spend some time together.
610
00:33:10,714 --> 00:33:12,416
Right.
611
00:33:35,138 --> 00:33:37,274
Good night, Ilsa.
612
00:33:37,341 --> 00:33:39,076
Good night.
613
00:34:13,710 --> 00:34:15,912
Thank you, thank you.
614
00:34:15,979 --> 00:34:17,481
I have a confession.
615
00:34:17,547 --> 00:34:19,316
Today's my birthday.
616
00:34:21,451 --> 00:34:22,919
21, y'all. 21.
617
00:34:22,986 --> 00:34:25,355
Couldn't imagine
being anywhere else.
618
00:34:25,422 --> 00:34:27,257
Or with anyone else.
619
00:34:27,324 --> 00:34:30,027
Thank you.
620
00:34:39,102 --> 00:34:41,905
Twenty-one.
621
00:34:41,972 --> 00:34:43,740
Time does fly.
622
00:34:43,874 --> 00:34:45,008
Yes, it does.
623
00:34:45,075 --> 00:34:46,510
You were incredible.
624
00:34:46,576 --> 00:34:48,011
You don't know how much
that means.
625
00:34:48,078 --> 00:34:49,246
Listen...
626
00:34:49,313 --> 00:34:52,215
I got a producer friend.
Off-Broadway.
627
00:34:52,282 --> 00:34:55,185
Always thought I'd bring this up
closer to graduation, but...
628
00:34:55,252 --> 00:34:57,387
-since you're 21 now...
-So...
629
00:34:57,454 --> 00:34:59,156
buy me a drink.
630
00:34:59,222 --> 00:35:00,624
Let's talk.
631
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:11,968
Delivery...
632
00:35:12,035 --> 00:35:14,037
for Herschel.
633
00:35:14,104 --> 00:35:15,405
There's that left.
634
00:35:15,472 --> 00:35:16,840
- That left gonna get him.
635
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,383
Champ gon' get this.
636
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,588
Get him, Champ.
637
00:35:33,557 --> 00:35:35,625
Come on, Champ. Left, right.
638
00:35:39,329 --> 00:35:41,064
Come on, Champ.
639
00:35:48,739 --> 00:35:50,507
What round?
640
00:35:50,574 --> 00:35:53,010
12th round.
641
00:35:53,076 --> 00:35:55,646
- Champ about
to take his ass down.
Hmm.
642
00:35:55,712 --> 00:35:58,015
You know...
643
00:35:58,081 --> 00:35:59,683
the Gerald I knew...
644
00:35:59,750 --> 00:36:02,152
would've killed me
for trying to take him out.
645
00:36:02,219 --> 00:36:05,088
Yeah, well, the Herschel I knew
would've never missed.
646
00:36:05,155 --> 00:36:07,624
Well, I guess we're
slipping in our old age.
647
00:36:07,691 --> 00:36:10,093
Gun's always there
if you want war.
648
00:36:14,898 --> 00:36:18,368
But this makes me
your top earner.
649
00:36:32,449 --> 00:36:34,184
You ever miss Memphis?
650
00:36:34,251 --> 00:36:36,420
No.
651
00:36:36,486 --> 00:36:38,088
I brought Memphis with me.
652
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:42,359
No hard feelings.
653
00:36:42,426 --> 00:36:44,761
Never is.
654
00:36:51,101 --> 00:36:52,869
Take this.
655
00:36:52,936 --> 00:36:55,572
-Take care of Marlo.
-Come on, Herschel.
656
00:36:55,639 --> 00:36:57,908
Come on, Herschel!
657
00:36:59,509 --> 00:37:00,978
Oh!
658
00:37:01,044 --> 00:37:02,479
Yeah!
659
00:37:02,546 --> 00:37:04,381
Don't make me regret
that second drink.
660
00:37:04,448 --> 00:37:06,616
-I can take it.
-Uh-huh.
661
00:37:06,683 --> 00:37:08,952
I'm serious.
662
00:37:10,454 --> 00:37:12,422
About New York.
663
00:37:12,489 --> 00:37:14,224
You are talented.
664
00:37:14,291 --> 00:37:15,726
It's worth a shot.
665
00:37:17,561 --> 00:37:19,296
You really think I'm that good?
666
00:37:19,363 --> 00:37:21,064
I do.
667
00:37:21,131 --> 00:37:22,833
How good?
668
00:37:27,571 --> 00:37:30,173
Uh... I'll get you a cab.
669
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,211
Where are you going?
670
00:37:34,277 --> 00:37:35,579
Out of the way.
671
00:37:35,646 --> 00:37:37,014
I don't think
that's a good idea.
672
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,982
If you knew who I was,
you'd want me gone.
673
00:37:39,049 --> 00:37:40,717
I've been giving people
what I thought
674
00:37:40,851 --> 00:37:43,487
they wanted my whole life.
Don't you do the same.
675
00:37:44,588 --> 00:37:47,157
I want you here.
676
00:37:48,258 --> 00:37:50,560
Don't tell me different.
677
00:37:52,462 --> 00:37:54,197
In Vietnam...
678
00:37:54,264 --> 00:37:55,866
I ran away from my platoon.
679
00:37:55,899 --> 00:37:57,401
The enemy crept up on us,
680
00:37:57,467 --> 00:37:58,602
we had cover.
681
00:37:58,669 --> 00:38:00,737
All I had to do was be still.
682
00:38:00,871 --> 00:38:03,073
- Barker.
- I should be dead.
683
00:38:05,442 --> 00:38:07,477
I'm a coward. That's who I am.
684
00:38:07,544 --> 00:38:10,747
You want to know where I was
headed the day I met you?
685
00:38:10,814 --> 00:38:14,084
I was coming here to tell
Sergeant Clarke the truth.
686
00:38:14,151 --> 00:38:17,854
Then I was going to swim into
the Pacific until I gave out.
687
00:38:17,921 --> 00:38:19,756
Sink right to the center
of the earth.
688
00:38:19,823 --> 00:38:22,926
Make it right with God.
689
00:38:22,993 --> 00:38:24,361
Couldn't even finish
that mission.
690
00:38:24,428 --> 00:38:26,463
Your sins are no worse
than mine,
691
00:38:26,530 --> 00:38:28,799
and I've lived with mine
a long time.
692
00:38:31,935 --> 00:38:34,304
I know it's feeding
the racial stereotype,
693
00:38:34,371 --> 00:38:35,739
but... damn it,
694
00:38:35,806 --> 00:38:37,641
this fried chicken is delicious.
695
00:38:37,708 --> 00:38:40,510
Well, I've been saying
the same thing
696
00:38:40,577 --> 00:38:42,179
-for years.
-Mm.
697
00:38:42,245 --> 00:38:44,114
I won't eat it
in front of white folk, though.
698
00:38:44,181 --> 00:38:47,784
-Mm-mm.
-Mm.
699
00:38:47,851 --> 00:38:51,588
Yeah, but... manna from Heaven.
700
00:38:53,991 --> 00:38:55,792
So, what you gonna do now?
701
00:38:58,795 --> 00:39:00,530
I'm-a try these
fried apple pies.
702
00:39:05,702 --> 00:39:07,671
So who won the fight?
703
00:39:07,738 --> 00:39:11,308
Ali. Wasn't even close.
704
00:39:12,709 --> 00:39:14,745
Never doubt the Champ.
705
00:39:16,713 --> 00:39:19,516
Soul Train.
706
00:39:19,583 --> 00:39:21,118
How big you think it'll be?
707
00:39:25,422 --> 00:39:27,891
Bigger than my wildest dreams.
708
00:39:27,958 --> 00:39:30,727
It must be nice to have a dream.
709
00:39:30,794 --> 00:39:33,664
I usually do the next thing
in front of me.
710
00:39:38,168 --> 00:39:40,604
Think I could get
an office on set?
711
00:39:42,606 --> 00:39:44,441
Yeah.
712
00:39:46,610 --> 00:39:49,579
Yeah, I can make that happen.
713
00:40:00,157 --> 00:40:02,659
-Next time on American Soul...
-Red, I'm home!
714
00:40:02,726 --> 00:40:05,495
Ah! Oh, Don.
715
00:40:05,562 --> 00:40:07,931
- You said that a show called
Soul Train would never work.
716
00:40:07,998 --> 00:40:09,566
Boy, was I wrong.
717
00:40:09,633 --> 00:40:10,767
You suing me, Phil?
718
00:40:10,867 --> 00:40:13,070
Who the hell is Ilsa Dejarnette?
719
00:40:13,136 --> 00:40:15,105
Well, what are two future
gold album recording stars
720
00:40:15,172 --> 00:40:16,540
doing in the middle ofHickville?
721
00:40:16,606 --> 00:40:17,541
These boys'll chew 'em up
722
00:40:17,607 --> 00:40:19,876
and spit them out if they saw.
723
00:40:19,876 --> 00:40:22,012
That your Chevy Nova out there?
I've been looking
724
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:23,747
for that car for a long time,
Mr. Tucker.
725
00:40:25,415 --> 00:40:27,651
Back up! Get back! Back up!
726
00:40:27,718 --> 00:40:30,253
You people never listen.
727
00:41:01,375 --> 00:41:03,277
Look, Daddy.
