d
198
00:06:32,020 --> 00:06:32,548
- You did it to me too.
199
00:06:32,588 --> 00:06:33,668
- I did it to you.
200
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,980
- And I was a nervous wreck,
201
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:36,146
and I was like, "Oh, my God!"
202
00:06:36,186 --> 00:06:36,980
- All right, so wait.
203
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:38,980
So my side of that was
204
00:06:39,020 --> 00:06:40,261
when we were on the set
205
00:06:40,301 --> 00:06:40,980
of the pilot,
206
00:06:41,020 --> 00:06:42,784
that was my first time,
207
00:06:42,824 --> 00:06:44,980
like, really doing dialogue.
208
00:06:45,020 --> 00:06:45,348
- So you did
209
00:06:45,388 --> 00:06:46,648
everybody's dialogue?
210
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:47,980
- I learned everybody's.
211
00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:49,980
So it's on the episode.
212
00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:51,061
You can see it on the episodes.
213
00:06:51,101 --> 00:06:51,980
- Oh, yeah, you can see it.
214
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:53,666
- I saw one episode, though,
215
00:06:53,706 --> 00:06:54,980
where you're standing,
216
00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:55,922
like, behind the couch
217
00:06:55,962 --> 00:06:56,980
in the living room scene.
218
00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:57,980
- Yeah?
219
00:06:58,020 --> 00:06:58,434
- And it's you
220
00:06:58,474 --> 00:06:58,980
and whoever else.
221
00:06:59,020 --> 00:07:01,980
- Was that Don Cheadle?
222
00:07:02,020 --> 00:07:02,980
- Tray!
223
00:07:03,020 --> 00:07:03,801
- Prince!
224
00:07:03,841 --> 00:07:04,980
Homey, homey!
225
00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:06,980
[grunting]
226
00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:08,008
- They literally had to show
227
00:07:08,048 --> 00:07:08,980
me, and I was like [gasps].
228
00:07:09,020 --> 00:07:10,988
- That's the one that was like,
229
00:07:11,028 --> 00:07:12,980
"Okay, we need to change this."
230
00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:13,720
- You don't go to school,
231
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:13,980
Ice Tray?
232
00:07:14,020 --> 00:07:14,902
- Oh, sure I do.
233
00:07:14,942 --> 00:07:15,980
I've been held back
234
00:07:16,020 --> 00:07:17,368
in the tenth grade
235
00:07:17,408 --> 00:07:18,980
three times in a row.
236
00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:19,980
- Three times?
237
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:21,980
- Yeah, see, my motto is
238
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:23,869
when I find a grade I like,
239
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:25,000
I stick with it.
240
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,980
I stick with it.
241
00:07:30,020 --> 00:07:31,044
- That's terrible.
242
00:07:31,084 --> 00:07:31,980
That's terrible.
243
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:32,869
Oh, wow.
244
00:07:32,909 --> 00:07:35,980
Oh, that's painful to watch.
245
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:37,000
[laughter]
246
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:38,432
- She was so ugly that
247
00:07:38,472 --> 00:07:38,980
Freddy Krueger used to have
248
00:07:39,020 --> 00:07:40,980
nightmares about her.
249
00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:42,460
- Was it the fifth episode
250
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:43,980
when you finally had enough
251
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:45,152
and you were like--
252
00:07:45,192 --> 00:07:46,980
'cause I remember in rehears--
253
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:47,753
she just looked
254
00:07:47,793 --> 00:07:49,233
and she said, "Stop it!"
255
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,980
[laughter]
256
00:07:51,020 --> 00:07:52,980
I knew everybody's lines.
257
00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:53,785
I would have
258
00:07:53,825 --> 00:07:54,980
played Uncle Phil.
259
00:07:55,020 --> 00:07:55,980
I could have played Aunt Viv.
260
00:07:56,020 --> 00:07:56,825
I was--I knew
261
00:07:56,865 --> 00:07:57,980
everybody's words.
262
00:07:58,020 --> 00:07:59,740
Does anybody remember
263
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:00,980
their audition?
264
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:01,795
- I mean, I remember
265
00:08:01,835 --> 00:08:02,980
very little of it, obviously,
266
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:05,980
but, like, I do remember--
267
00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:06,883
- Oh, no.
268
00:08:06,923 --> 00:08:07,980
- Oh! Ohhh!
269
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:09,244
- Alfonso Ribeiro.
270
00:08:09,284 --> 00:08:10,980
- You're ten, you're ten.
271
00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:11,986
- Whoo!
272
00:08:12,026 --> 00:08:12,980
- Okay.
273
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:14,271
What am I wearing?
274
00:08:14,311 --> 00:08:14,980
[laughter]
275
00:08:15,020 --> 00:08:16,107
What have you been
276
00:08:16,147 --> 00:08:16,980
doing in here?
277
00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:18,980
- Just maxing and relaxing.
278
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:20,180
- I meant what have you been
279
00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:20,980
doing to this room?
280
00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:23,487
- Oh, I'm trying to make it
281
00:08:23,527 --> 00:08:25,980
a little more [indistinct].
282
00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:27,980
Malcolm X, he's my hero.
283
00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:29,640
- Well, he was a great man.
284
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,889
I don't know if I'd call him
285
00:08:31,929 --> 00:08:32,980
my hero exactly.
286
00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:34,828
- Whoa. Wow.
287
00:08:34,868 --> 00:08:34,980
d
288
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:35,735
- All right,
289
00:08:35,775 --> 00:08:36,980
first, I would say--
290
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:38,006
- No, no, we're gonna give
291
00:08:38,046 --> 00:08:38,980
that a moment of silence!
292
00:08:39,020 --> 00:08:40,980
- Okay, yes.
293
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:42,079
I know I didn't go there
294
00:08:42,119 --> 00:08:42,980
wearing a sweat suit
295
00:08:43,020 --> 00:08:44,719
believing that I was gonna
296
00:08:44,759 --> 00:08:45,980
get that character.
297
00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:46,362
I don't know
298
00:08:46,402 --> 00:08:46,980
what I was thinking.
299
00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:47,758
I don't know
300
00:08:47,798 --> 00:08:48,980
how I got that job.
301
00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:49,552
- You know what thought--
302
00:08:49,592 --> 00:08:49,980
- That dude sucked!
303
00:08:50,020 --> 00:08:51,038
[laughter]
304
00:08:51,078 --> 00:08:51,980
- No, no.
305
00:08:52,020 --> 00:08:52,980
- No.
306
00:08:53,020 --> 00:08:54,616
- You are so much fun to watch.
307
00:08:54,656 --> 00:08:55,980
- Yeah, I wanna watch you.
308
00:08:56,020 --> 00:08:57,174
- With everything you do.
309
00:08:57,214 --> 00:08:57,980
- Thank goodness.
310
00:08:58,020 --> 00:08:59,902
I guess somewhere along
311
00:08:59,942 --> 00:09:01,980
the line people were able
312
00:09:02,020 --> 00:09:03,437
to see the magic
313
00:09:03,477 --> 00:09:05,980
that I clearly couldn't see.
314
00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:07,081
- Do you remember
315
00:09:07,121 --> 00:09:07,980
your audition?
316
00:09:08,020 --> 00:09:08,634
- They had me audition
317
00:09:08,674 --> 00:09:09,394
in New York,
318
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,314
and I remember my mom and
319
00:09:11,354 --> 00:09:12,980
my aunties being really excited
320
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:14,174
because I was auditioning
321
00:09:14,214 --> 00:09:14,980
for Quincy Jones.
322
00:09:15,020 --> 00:09:15,980
That was my second call.
323
00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:16,630
- Mm-hmm.
324
00:09:16,670 --> 00:09:16,980
- Oh.
325
00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:17,980
- And they had me rap,
326
00:09:18,020 --> 00:09:19,980
but they had the kids,
327
00:09:20,020 --> 00:09:21,674
like, last-minute,
328
00:09:21,714 --> 00:09:23,000
make up a rap.
329
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:24,980
- A rap?
330
00:09:25,020 --> 00:09:25,600
- Like, I can sing.
331
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:25,980
I can't rap.
332
00:09:26,020 --> 00:09:27,038
Like, that's a whole
333
00:09:27,078 --> 00:09:27,980
'nother skill set.
334
00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:28,861

so corny and so bad

- That's perfect!
347
00:09:46,020 --> 00:09:47,542

348
00:09:47,582 --> 00:09:48,980
"This is really horrible."

your audition?

No, I'm just--
352
00:09:53,427 --> 00:09:54,980
I'm just asking.
353
00:09:55,020 --> 00:09:55,557
Do you--
354
00:09:55,597 --> 00:09:55,980
- Ahh!
355
00:09:56,020 --> 00:09:57,980
- Karyn Parsons.
356
00:09:58,020 --> 00:09:59,165
Lord, have mercy on me,
357
00:09:59,205 --> 00:10:00,165
oh, my goodness.
358
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,980
Dad, I need $300.
359
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:04,257
- Hilary, your cousin
360
00:10:04,297 --> 00:10:04,980
Will's here.
361
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:05,980
- Hi.
362
00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:07,980
Dad, I need $300.
363
00:10:08,020 --> 00:10:08,862
Like, I'm going on the
364
00:10:08,902 --> 00:10:09,980
Save the Ozone celebrity bus
365
00:10:10,020 --> 00:10:11,980
next Saturday,
366
00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:13,748
and it's gonna be Bruce Willis
367
00:10:13,788 --> 00:10:14,980
and Demi and Rob Lowe
368
00:10:15,020 --> 00:10:17,042
and Emilio Estevez
369
00:10:17,082 --> 00:10:18,980
or Charlie Sheen,
370
00:10:19,020 --> 00:10:20,980
I don't remember which.
371
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:21,504
- Wow.
372
00:10:21,544 --> 00:10:22,980
That's beautiful.
373
00:10:23,020 --> 00:10:24,980
d
374
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:26,090
- I auditioned a lot.
375
00:10:26,130 --> 00:10:26,980
- Did you really?
376
00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:28,225
- I auditioned a lot,
377
00:10:28,265 --> 00:10:29,980
and I remember the network one
378
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:31,980
because it was down to--
379
00:10:32,020 --> 00:10:32,854
there were, like,
380
00:10:32,894 --> 00:10:33,980
you know, two Hilarys,
381
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:35,980
and I was so nervous,
382
00:10:36,020 --> 00:10:37,317
and I caught my reflection
383
00:10:37,357 --> 00:10:37,980
in something,
384
00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:39,986
and I remember I kinda
385
00:10:40,026 --> 00:10:41,980
started primping and--
386
00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:44,000
[laughter]
387
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,401
And it was like,
388
00:10:45,441 --> 00:10:45,980
I started feeling her.
389
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:46,565
She started, like,
390
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:47,385
coming over--
391
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,592
- They're like, "You got it.
392
00:10:48,632 --> 00:10:48,980
You got the role!"
393
00:10:49,020 --> 00:10:50,616
- No, but you could
394
00:10:50,656 --> 00:10:51,980
absolutely see--
395
00:10:52,020 --> 00:10:52,980
see the Hilary.
396
00:10:53,020 --> 00:10:54,075
- That was Hilary.
397
00:10:54,115 --> 00:10:54,980
- Come to life.
398
00:10:55,020 --> 00:10:56,987
Even as little as the way
399
00:10:57,027 --> 00:10:58,980
you held your bottom jaw.
400
00:10:59,020 --> 00:11:00,500
- Yeah, yeah, it's like--
401
00:11:00,540 --> 00:11:00,980
- Right?
402
00:11:01,020 --> 00:11:02,386
Like, it was so just,
403
00:11:02,426 --> 00:11:02,980
like, ha.
404
00:11:03,020 --> 00:11:04,831
- I'm in a bad mood, and
405
00:11:04,871 --> 00:11:06,980
somebody is going to suffer.
406
00:11:07,020 --> 00:11:09,091
- I didn't go to the audition
407
00:11:09,131 --> 00:11:10,980
in 1990 because they said,
408
00:11:11,020 --> 00:11:13,367
"Oh, we want you to audition
409
00:11:13,407 --> 00:11:14,980
for this new sitcom
410
00:11:15,020 --> 00:11:15,867
with a rapper."
411
00:11:15,907 --> 00:11:16,980
I said, "Mm, pass."
412
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:19,980
[laughter]
413
00:11:20,020 --> 00:11:21,815
I said, "Um, um,
414
00:11:21,855 --> 00:11:23,980
thank you, no, no."
415
00:11:24,020 --> 00:11:24,441
And I left,
416
00:11:24,481 --> 00:11:24,980
and I watched
417
00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:26,980
the show come on in September.
418
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:28,144
I said, "Oh, damn,
419
00:11:28,184 --> 00:11:28,980
that's cute."
420
00:11:29,020 --> 00:11:29,980
[laughter]
421
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:31,561
- Got this whole town
422
00:11:31,601 --> 00:11:32,980
of Bel-Air buzzing.
423
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:33,880
- Get a load of me
424
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,980
and my rapping cousin!
425
00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:36,980
- Yeah, you know.
426
00:11:37,020 --> 00:11:40,191
So Quincy Jones basically
427
00:11:40,231 --> 00:11:42,000
steamrolled me
428
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:43,980
through the whole process
429
00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:45,378
without ever really
430
00:11:45,418 --> 00:11:46,980
auditioning me, right?
431
00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:49,588
So the only kind of audition
432
00:11:49,628 --> 00:11:50,980
I had was the--
433
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:54,000
Quincy's birthday.
434
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,980
The show was an idea.
435
00:11:56,020 --> 00:11:56,877
Benny Medina had
436
00:11:56,917 --> 00:11:57,980
pitched me the idea,
437
00:11:58,020 --> 00:11:58,834
and it's like,
438
00:11:58,874 --> 00:11:59,980
I was making music,
439
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:00,868
and they were like,
440
00:12:00,908 --> 00:12:01,980
"Come to Quincy's house.
441
00:12:02,020 --> 00:12:03,049
We have this idea
442
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:03,980
for a TV show."
443
00:12:04,020 --> 00:12:05,980
I'm like, "Okay," you know?
444
00:12:06,020 --> 00:12:07,980
- "I'll go to Quincy's."
445
00:12:08,020 --> 00:12:09,980
So I got to Quincy's house,
446
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:11,487
and Benny Medina pitched me
447
00:12:11,527 --> 00:12:12,980
the whole idea of the show,
448
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:13,943
and he's like, you know,
449
00:12:13,983 --> 00:12:14,980
"We have this--this idea,"
450
00:12:15,020 --> 00:12:15,886
'cause it was based
451
00:12:15,926 --> 00:12:16,980
on Benny Medina's life.
452
00:12:17,020 --> 00:12:18,980
- His life, right.
453
00:12:19,020 --> 00:12:19,523
- He went from Watts
454
00:12:19,563 --> 00:12:19,980
to Beverly Hills.
455
00:12:20,020 --> 00:12:20,836
So I'm like, "Cool,"
456
00:12:20,876 --> 00:12:21,980
so we go to Quincy's house,
457
00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:23,201
and Benny's like,
458
00:12:23,241 --> 00:12:24,980
"Hey, you know, this is--
459
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:26,580
this is the Fresh Prince."
460
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,311
Quincy said,
461
00:12:27,351 --> 00:12:27,980
"I know who that boy is.
462
00:12:28,020 --> 00:12:28,951
I seen his stuff," you know?
463
00:12:28,991 --> 00:12:29,980
"Hey, come on in. Come on in."
464
00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:31,980
So Quincy, it's his birthday.
465
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:32,961
He had been tasting
466
00:12:33,001 --> 00:12:33,980
a little bit, right?
467
00:12:34,020 --> 00:12:34,985
So he was--he was
468
00:12:35,025 --> 00:12:35,980
wetting his beak.
469
00:12:36,020 --> 00:12:36,980
He wet his beak, right?
470
00:12:37,020 --> 00:12:38,334
So he--you know, he's like,
471
00:12:38,374 --> 00:12:38,980
"Come on in."
472
00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:39,711
So we go in,
473
00:12:39,751 --> 00:12:40,980
and he said--he said,
474
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:41,772
"Where you from?"
475
00:12:41,812 --> 00:12:42,980
I said, "I'm from Philly."
476
00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:44,317
He said, "Your character's
477
00:12:44,357 --> 00:12:44,980
from Philly."
478
00:12:45,020 --> 00:12:45,867
"Oh."
479
00:12:45,907 --> 00:12:47,980
Like, "Okay.
480
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:49,160
Give me a glass of whatever
481
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:49,980
Quincy's drinking."
482
00:12:50,020 --> 00:12:51,980
Right?
483
00:12:52,020 --> 00:12:52,738
So it's like--
484
00:12:52,778 --> 00:12:53,980
it's Quincy's birthday,
485
00:12:54,020 --> 00:12:54,434
so it's like--
486
00:12:54,474 --> 00:12:54,980
it's a big party,
487
00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:56,441
so everybody's in there,
488
00:12:56,481 --> 00:12:56,980
you know?
489
00:12:57,020 --> 00:12:58,980
So it was Brandon Tartikoff,
490
00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:00,980
who's the head of NBC,
491
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:02,210
Warren Littlefield,
492
00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:02,980
all of that.
493
00:13:03,020 --> 00:13:04,185
So everybody gets in the room,
494
00:13:04,225 --> 00:13:04,980
and Quincy, he says,
495
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:05,303
"Hey!
496
00:13:05,343 --> 00:13:06,980
Clear the living room out!
497
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:08,006
Clear the living room out!
498
00:13:08,046 --> 00:13:08,980
We gonna do an audition."
499
00:13:09,020 --> 00:13:09,949
- Oh, man.
500
00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:11,980
- You like go, "Who?"
501
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:12,609
- Right, I'm saying,
502
00:13:12,649 --> 00:13:12,980
"Who? Who--"
503
00:13:13,020 --> 00:13:14,276
Yeah, "Who's gonna audition?"
504
00:13:14,316 --> 00:13:14,980
And he was like,
505
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:15,841
"Yeah, you got it.
506
00:13:15,881 --> 00:13:16,980
You got it. You got it."
507
00:13:17,020 --> 00:13:19,345
I said, "Q, Q, no, no,"
508
00:13:19,385 --> 00:13:20,980
and he grabs me,
509
00:13:21,020 --> 00:13:21,894
and he takes me
510
00:13:21,934 --> 00:13:22,980
in the other room,
511
00:13:23,020 --> 00:13:24,135
and he sits me down
512
00:13:24,175 --> 00:13:24,980
in his office,
513
00:13:25,020 --> 00:13:27,915
and there's a 48 million
514
00:13:27,955 --> 00:13:29,980
"Thriller" thing.
515
00:13:30,020 --> 00:13:31,980
There's a "Color Purple,"
516
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:34,704
and he sits me under this
517
00:13:34,744 --> 00:13:36,980
70 Grammys, you know,
518
00:13:37,020 --> 00:13:38,624
this Em--and I'm sitting under
519
00:13:38,664 --> 00:13:39,980
all of that stuff, like--
520
00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:42,041
and Michael's looking down
521
00:13:42,081 --> 00:13:42,980
on me like--
522
00:13:43,020 --> 00:13:45,980
[laughter]
523
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:47,980
So Quincy says,
524
00:13:48,020 --> 00:13:49,373
"Okay, what do you need?"
525
00:13:49,413 --> 00:13:49,980
and I said,
526
00:13:50,020 --> 00:13:51,350
"Quincy, I'm the--I don't
527
00:13:51,390 --> 00:13:52,980
know how to--I'm not an actor.
528
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:54,341
"I just--just give me
529
00:13:54,381 --> 00:13:54,980
two weeks,
530
00:13:55,020 --> 00:13:57,257
"Let me find an acting coach,
531
00:13:57,297 --> 00:13:58,980
and let me work on it,
532
00:13:59,020 --> 00:14:00,141
and then let's just set up
533
00:14:00,181 --> 00:14:00,980
a proper audition."
534
00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:02,026
He said, "Oh, so two weeks.
535
00:14:02,066 --> 00:14:02,980
You only need two weeks?"
536
00:14:03,020 --> 00:14:04,097
I said, "Yeah, yeah,
537
00:14:04,137 --> 00:14:04,980
just two weeks."
538
00:14:05,020 --> 00:14:06,980
He said, "So here's the deal.
539
00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:08,980
"Right now everybody
540
00:14:09,020 --> 00:14:10,307
"that needs to say yes
541
00:14:10,347 --> 00:14:11,980
for this show is sitting out
542
00:14:12,020 --> 00:14:13,228
in that living room
543
00:14:13,268 --> 00:14:14,980
right now waiting for you."
544
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:15,980
- It's now.
545
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:17,980
- And I was like--
546
00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:18,985
I was like,
547
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:20,980
"Give me ten minutes."
548
00:14:21,020 --> 00:14:22,025
And he's like, "All right!
549
00:14:22,065 --> 00:14:22,980
Audition in ten minutes!
550
00:14:23,020 --> 00:14:24,980
Audition in ten minutes!"
551
00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:26,980
- Far out.
552
00:14:27,020 --> 00:14:27,652
- They did a deal memo
553
00:14:27,692 --> 00:14:27,980
that night.
554
00:14:28,020 --> 00:14:29,681
That's how we got
555
00:14:29,721 --> 00:14:31,980
to the pilot that fast.
556
00:14:32,020 --> 00:14:32,504
- Whoa.
557
00:14:32,544 --> 00:14:33,980
- How is it possible
558
00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:34,929
I've known you this long
559
00:14:34,969 --> 00:14:35,980
and never heard that story?
560
00:14:36,020 --> 00:14:36,345
- I know.
561
00:14:36,385 --> 00:14:36,980
- I know, right?
562
00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:38,044
- Do you remember,
563
00:14:38,084 --> 00:14:38,980
we were on tour?
564
00:14:39,020 --> 00:14:39,980
- We were in Detroit, yep.
565
00:14:40,020 --> 00:14:40,958
- We were on tour
566
00:14:40,998 --> 00:14:41,980
and had a day off.
567
00:14:42,020 --> 00:14:42,347
- Yep.
568
00:14:42,387 --> 00:14:43,980
- And Will flew and came...
569
00:14:44,020 --> 00:14:44,571
- To go to
570
00:14:44,611 --> 00:14:45,980
"The Arsenio Hall Show."
571
00:14:46,020 --> 00:14:48,236
- And said, "I got a TV show."
572
00:14:48,276 --> 00:14:49,000
[laughter]
573
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,524
Being from Philly,
574
00:14:51,564 --> 00:14:52,980
"I got a TV show"
575
00:14:53,020 --> 00:14:53,850
was a homeboy
576
00:14:53,890 --> 00:14:54,980
with a camcorder.
577
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:57,345
No one thought anything
578

- Yeah.
1156
00:30:00,607 --> 00:30:01,980
- Move over here.
1157
00:30:02,020 --> 00:30:03,967
- At some point the producers
1158
00:30:04,007 --> 00:30:04,980
and the writers
1159
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:06,486
wanted to make Hilary
1160
00:30:06,526 --> 00:30:07,980
a strong Black woman.
1161
00:30:08,020 --> 00:30:09,420
They wanted to, like,
1162
00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:10,980
see that switch in her,
1163
00:30:11,020 --> 00:30:12,386
and then I felt like,
1164
00:30:12,426 --> 00:30:12,980
you know,
1165
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:14,561
there are some people
1166
00:30:14,601 --> 00:30:15,980
who are just flawed
1167
00:30:16,020 --> 00:30:17,980
and see things a certain way,
1168
00:30:18,020 --> 00:30:19,852
and you can learn a lot
1169
00:30:19,892 --> 00:30:20,980
from them too.
1170
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:22,980
Look, I'm a career woman.
1171
00:30:23,020 --> 00:30:24,580
I don't have time to dust
1172
00:30:24,620 --> 00:30:25,980
and push around that--
1173
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:26,986
oh, what do you call
1174
00:30:27,026 --> 00:30:27,980
that big, loud thing
1175
00:30:28,020 --> 00:30:29,980
that sucks up everything?
1176
00:30:30,020 --> 00:30:33,013
- We were able to share
1177
00:30:33,053 --> 00:30:34,980
the experience,
1178
00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:37,302
the real experience
1179
00:30:37,342 --> 00:30:39,980
and gave those writers
1180
00:30:40,020 --> 00:30:40,680
our perspective.
1181
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:40,980
- Yeah.
1182
00:30:41,020 --> 00:30:43,730
- You can put your hands
1183
00:30:43,770 --> 00:30:44,980
down, Jazz.
1184
00:30:45,020 --> 00:30:45,675
- No way.
1185
00:30:45,715 --> 00:30:46,980
Dude's got a gun.
1186
00:30:47,020 --> 00:30:48,870
Next thing you know, I got
1187
00:30:48,910 --> 00:30:51,000
six warning shots in my back.
1188
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,047
When we did
1189
00:30:53,087 --> 00:30:54,980
the courtroom scene,
1190
00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:56,580
there was a level
1191
00:30:56,620 --> 00:30:57,980
of truth to it.
1192
00:30:58,020 --> 00:30:58,472
That's the reason
1193
00:30:58,512 --> 00:30:58,980
why they wrote it.
1194
00:30:59,020 --> 00:31:01,261
I'm putting
1195
00:31:01,301 --> 00:31:04,980
my hands down now.
1196
00:31:05,020 --> 00:31:05,825
- Part of the power
1197
00:31:05,865 --> 00:31:06,980
of what we would always do
1198
00:31:07,020 --> 00:31:08,980
with "The Fresh Prince,"
1199
00:31:09,020 --> 00:31:10,681
there would be
1200
00:31:10,721 --> 00:31:12,980
very powerful ideas
1201
00:31:13,020 --> 00:31:14,233
under the jokes
1202
00:31:14,273 --> 00:31:15,980
and under the comedy.
1203
00:31:16,020 --> 00:31:17,515
- You can wear the T-shirts,
1204
00:31:17,555 --> 00:31:18,980
you can put up the posters,
1205
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:19,980
and you can shout the slogans,
1206
00:31:20,020 --> 00:31:21,254
but unless you know
1207
00:31:21,294 --> 00:31:22,980
all the history behind it,
1208
00:31:23,020 --> 00:31:24,451
you're trivializing
1209
00:31:24,491 --> 00:31:25,980
the entire struggle.
1210
00:31:26,020 --> 00:31:27,399
- That is one of those things
1211
00:31:27,439 --> 00:31:28,159
that I think
1212
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,980
kinda makes people understand
1213
00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:32,226
just how groundbreaking
1214
00:31:32,266 --> 00:31:32,980
this show was.
1215
00:31:33,020 --> 00:31:35,980
- It is as relevant today
1216
00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:38,470
as it was 30 years ago,
1217
00:31:38,510 --> 00:31:39,980
unfortunately.
1218
00:31:40,020 --> 00:31:41,880
- Whenever we would come
1219
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,980
across moments
1220
00:31:43,020 --> 00:31:44,624
that they wrote that was like,
1221
00:31:44,664 --> 00:31:45,980
"This wouldn't happen..."
1222
00:31:46,020 --> 00:31:46,805
- Right.
1223
00:31:46,845 --> 00:31:49,980
- "Black people don't do this."
1224
00:31:50,020 --> 00:31:51,129
- Right.
1225
00:31:51,169 --> 00:31:51,980
- Yes.
1226
00:31:52,020 --> 00:31:53,433
- Tuesday and Wednesday is
1227
00:31:53,473 --> 00:31:54,980
what made this show special,
1228
00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:57,445
because we made sure that we
1229
00:31:57,485 --> 00:32:00,000
were authentic every episode.
1230
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,815
- I had spent a career
1231
00:32:02,855 --> 00:32:03,980
being on shows
1232
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:05,552
that showed the variety
1233
00:32:05,592 --> 00:32:06,980
of the Black culture,
1234
00:32:07,020 --> 00:32:09,016
showing that we were not just
1235
00:32:09,056 --> 00:32:10,980
a monolithic group of people
1236
00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:12,241
with one idea
1237
00:32:12,281 --> 00:32:13,980
and one lifestyle,
1238
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:14,980
and when I got here,
1239
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,244
we had the freedom
1240
00:32:16,284 --> 00:32:17,980
to express to the writers
1241
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:19,945
the cultural aspects of what
1242
00:32:19,985 --> 00:32:21,980
they had in the written word.
1243
00:32:22,020 --> 00:32:24,015
I remember a table read
1244
00:32:24,055 --> 00:32:24,980
one Monday,
1245
00:32:25,020 --> 00:32:26,915
and there was some line that
1246
00:32:26,955 --> 00:32:28,980
they had given Tatyana to say,
1247
00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:30,980
and I said, "Excuse me,
1248
00:32:31,020 --> 00:32:32,980
if Tatyana says that
1249
00:32:33,020 --> 00:32:33,724
to her daddy,
1250
00:32:33,764 --> 00:32:34,980
she'd lose her teeth."
1251
00:32:35,020 --> 00:32:35,850
- Yeah, yeah,
1252
00:32:35,890 --> 00:32:36,980
exactly, exactly.
1253
00:32:37,020 --> 00:32:38,064
- So no, culturally,
1254
00:32:38,104 --> 00:32:38,980
we don't do that.
1255
00:32:39,020 --> 00:32:39,886
- James used to sit
1256
00:32:39,926 --> 00:32:41,306
where you're sitting...
1257
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,179
- Yep.
1258
00:32:42,219 --> 00:32:42,980
- That was James's spot.
1259
00:32:43,020 --> 00:32:45,980
- During those note sessions,
1260
00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:47,726
and that is where I learned
1261
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:47,980
that
1262
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:52,980
what we do is not for us.
1263
00:32:53,020 --> 00:32:55,980
It's not about us.
1264
00:32:56,020 --> 00:32:57,084
We are here
1265
00:32:57,124 --> 00:32:58,980
to bring dignity...
1266
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:00,980
- Mm-hmm.
1267
00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:04,700
- To represent, to expand,
1268
00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:06,980
to push forward,
1269
00:33:07,020 --> 00:33:09,613
and I learned that here
1270
00:33:09,653 --> 00:33:10,980
at his feet.
1271

- James is the heart

of the show.
1276
00:33:20,020 --> 00:33:21,980
- I love you, Uncle Phil.
1277

1281
00:33:28,020 --> 00:33:29,980
- Carlton, sit.

- As you wish, Father.
1283
00:33:32,020 --> 00:33:33,987
- James had a very deep love
1284
00:33:34,027 --> 00:33:34,980
of jazz music,
1285
00:33:35,020 --> 00:33:36,291
and I would spend a lot
1286
00:33:36,331 --> 00:33:37,980
of times in his dressing room,
1287
00:33:38,020 --> 00:33:39,980
and he would give me jazz CDs.
1288
00:33:40,020 --> 00:33:41,486
- You know, he got his
1289
00:33:41,526 --> 00:33:42,980
Billie Holiday picture
1290
00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:44,980

Boy, I'm telling you,

this man got mad flavor.
1295
00:33:50,020 --> 00:33:50,744
- The music that
1296
00:33:50,784 --> 00:33:51,980
was coming out of his room
1297
00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:53,460
was always just amazing.
1298
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,480
- Ashley, honey,
1299
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:54,980
this is possibly
1300
00:33:55,020 --> 00:33:56,283
the most beautiful music
1301
00:33:56,323 --> 00:33:56,980
ever written.
1302
00:33:57,020 --> 00:33:59,980
- He was my teacher.
1303
00:34:00,020 --> 00:34:01,426
I learned what it means
1304
00:34:01,466 --> 00:34:02,980
to be an artist from him.
1305
00:34:03,020 --> 00:34:04,298
- Learning that there's
1306
00:34:04,338 --> 00:34:05,058
other works,
1307
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:06,649

yours even better.
1311
00:34:10,020 --> 00:34:10,769
- I was watching
1312
00:34:10,809 --> 00:34:11,980
this Robeson documentary,
1313
00:34:12,020 --> 00:34:13,986

00:34:14,026 --> 00:34:14,980
Paul Robeson.
1315
00:34:15,020 --> 00:34:16,426
He, like, introduced me
1316
00:34:16,466 --> 00:34:17,980
to Black art in ways that
1317
00:34:18,020 --> 00:34:19,279
I wouldn't have gotten
1318

that education anywhere else,

- Darkie, yeah.
1327
00:34:33,020 --> 00:34:35,348
- How hard he had to fight
1328
00:34:35,388 --> 00:34:37,000

00:34:57,027 --> 00:34:57,980
and those notes sessions,
1345
00:34:58,020 --> 00:34:59,346
that's where I went to school,
1346
00:34:59,386 --> 00:34:59,980
like, that's--
1347
00:35:00,020 --> 00:35:00,803
- And that was--
1348
00:35:00,843 --> 00:35:01,980
no, that was the thing.
1349
00:35:02,020 --> 00:35:06,980
James, he pushed me so hard.
1350
00:35:07,020 --> 00:35:08,980
- You think you're so wise.
1351
00:35:09,020 --> 00:35:09,867
Look at me
1352
00:35:09,907 --> 00:35:12,000
when I'm talking to you.
1353
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,980
Let me tell you something, son.
1354
00:35:16,020 --> 00:35:17,248
I grew up on the streets
1355
00:35:17,288 --> 00:35:18,128
just like you.
1356
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,448
I encountered bigotry
1357
00:35:20,488 --> 00:35:21,980
you could not imagine.
1358
00:35:22,020 --> 00:35:24,020
Now, you have a nice poster
1359
00:35:24,060 --> 00:35:25,980
of Malcolm X on your wall.
1360
00:35:26,020 --> 00:35:28,980
I heard the brother speak.
1361
00:35:29,020 --> 00:35:31,980
I read every word he wrote.
1362
00:35:32,020 --> 00:35:32,904
Believe me,
1363
00:35:32,944 --> 00:35:35,000
I know where I come from.
1364
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,936
- His thing was that I am
1365
00:35:37,976 --> 00:35:39,980
in such a unique position,
1366
00:35:40,020 --> 00:35:42,754
and that responsibility,
1367
00:35:42,794 --> 00:35:45,980
you must elevate your craft.
1368
00:35:46,020 --> 00:35:47,392
You have to represent,
1369
00:35:47,432 --> 00:35:48,980
and you are paving a way,
1370
00:35:49,020 --> 00:35:50,097
and he just wouldn't
1371
00:35:50,137 --> 00:35:50,980
give me an inch,
1372
00:35:51,020 --> 00:35:53,229
and I remember in the--
1373
00:35:53,269 --> 00:35:54,980
one of my favorite
1374
00:35:55,020 --> 00:35:57,134
and most famous scenes
1375
00:35:57,174 --> 00:35:58,980
from "Fresh Prince"
1376
00:35:59,020 --> 00:36:00,340
is the father episode.
1377
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,344
Hey, what's up, man?
1378
00:36:02,384 --> 00:36:03,980
Can I get you something?
1379
00:36:04,020 --> 00:36:06,000
- No, I'm fine, son.
1380
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
- Um, if you need--
1381
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
- So is he a cop?
1382
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:19,980
- He's my father.
1383
00:36:20,020 --> 00:36:21,980
So, you know, James Avery
1384
00:36:22,020 --> 00:36:24,980
was this 6'4",
1385
00:36:25,020 --> 00:36:27,980
300-pound...
1386
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:29,486
- Plus.
1387
00:36:29,526 --> 00:36:30,980
- Yeah.
1388
00:36:31,020 --> 00:36:33,146
- Stage-trained...
1389
00:36:33,186 --> 00:36:33,980
- Yeah.
1390
00:36:34,020 --> 00:36:36,980
- Shakespearean beast, right?
1391
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:39,018
And I'm--I'm the little rapper
1392
00:36:39,058 --> 00:36:40,980
from Philly under him, right?
1393
00:36:41,020 --> 00:36:42,728
And I wanted him to think
1394
00:36:42,768 --> 00:36:43,980
I was good so bad.
1395
00:36:44,020 --> 00:36:44,441
- You wanted him
1396
00:36:44,481 --> 00:36:44,980
to be proud of you.
1397
00:36:45,020 --> 00:36:45,861
- I wanted him
1398
00:36:45,901 --> 00:36:46,980
to be proud of me,
1399
00:36:47,020 --> 00:36:48,280
so the episode comes,
1400
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,146
and, you know,
1401
00:36:50,186 --> 00:36:51,980
we come to that scene,
1402
00:36:52,020 --> 00:36:53,820
and I was like, I'm--you know,
1403
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,890
I wanna deliver
1404
00:36:54,930 --> 00:36:55,980
this scene so bad,
1405
00:36:56,020 --> 00:36:57,319
and if you remember,
1406
00:36:57,359 --> 00:36:58,980
in front of the audience,
1407
00:36:59,020 --> 00:37:01,918
I flubbed my line
1408
00:37:01,958 --> 00:37:03,980
on the take.
1409
00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:04,980
- Mm-hmm.
1410
00:37:05,020 --> 00:37:05,874
- And I messed it up
1411
00:37:05,914 --> 00:37:07,414
in front of the audience,
1412
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,929
and my mind snapped,
1413
00:37:09,969 --> 00:37:11,980
and I'm like, "Aghh!"
1414
00:37:12,020 --> 00:37:13,483
I'm like,
1415
00:37:13,523 --> 00:37:15,980
"Ahh! Damn it!"
1416
00:37:16,020 --> 00:37:17,484
And James says,
1417
00:37:17,524 --> 00:37:17,980
"Hey!
1418
00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:19,980
Right here!"
1419
00:37:20,020 --> 00:37:21,837
and I was like--and
1420
00:37:21,877 --> 00:37:24,000
he was like, "Use me!"
1421
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:26,807
And I'm like--
1422
00:37:26,847 --> 00:37:27,980
and I'm right there,
1423
00:37:28,020 --> 00:37:29,065
and he takes, and he's like,
1424
00:37:29,105 --> 00:37:30,545
"Get yourself together,"
1425
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,143
And I get it together,
1426
00:37:32,183 --> 00:37:32,980
and I'm looking,
1427
00:37:33,020 --> 00:37:33,980
and he says, "Action."
1428
00:37:34,020 --> 00:37:34,980
- I'm sorry, I--
1429
00:37:35,020 --> 00:37:35,883
You know, if there was
1430
00:37:35,923 --> 00:37:36,980
something that I could do--
1431
00:37:37,020 --> 00:37:38,004
- Hey, you know what? You ain't
1432
00:37:38,044 --> 00:37:38,980
got to do nothing, Uncle Phil.
1433
00:37:39,020 --> 00:37:40,624
You know, ain't like I'm still
1434
00:37:40,664 --> 00:37:41,980
five years old, you know?
1435
00:37:42,020 --> 00:37:43,036
Ain't like I'ma be sitting up
1436
00:37:43,076 --> 00:37:43,980
every night asking my mom,
1437
00:37:44,020 --> 00:37:45,604
"When is Daddy coming home?"
1438
00:37:45,644 --> 00:37:46,980
You know? Who needs him?
1439
00:37:47,020 --> 00:37:48,980
And the scene that we do
1440
00:37:49,020 --> 00:37:51,754
is the scene that ended up
1441
00:37:51,794 --> 00:37:53,980
being in the episode.
1442
00:37:54,020 --> 00:37:54,922
I ain't need him then,
1443
00:37:54,962 --> 00:37:55,980
and I don't need him now.
1444
00:37:56,020 --> 00:37:56,980
- Will, Will--
1445
00:37:57,020 --> 00:37:58,297
- Nah, you know what,
1446
00:37:58,337 --> 00:37:58,980
Uncle Phil?
1447
00:37:59,020 --> 00:38:00,319
I'ma get through college
1448
00:38:00,359 --> 00:38:00,980
without him.
1449
00:38:01,020 --> 00:38:01,600
I'm get a great job
1450
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:01,980
without him.
1451
00:38:02,020 --> 00:38:02,825
I'ma marry me
1452
00:38:02,865 --> 00:38:03,980
a beautiful honey,
1453
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:04,826
and I'ma have me
1454
00:38:04,866 --> 00:38:05,980
a whole bunch of kids.
1455
00:38:06,020 --> 00:38:06,560
I'ma be a better father
1456
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:06,980
than he ever was!
1457
00:38:07,020 --> 00:38:07,858
And I sure as hell
1458
00:38:07,898 --> 00:38:08,980
don't need him for that
1459
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:10,046
'cause ain't a damn thing
1460
00:38:10,086 --> 00:38:10,980
he could ever teach me
1461
00:38:11,020 --> 00:38:13,000
about how to love my kids!
1462
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
d
1463
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,680
How come he don't
1464
00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:23,000
want me, man?
1465
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,480
And I fall into his arms
1466
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:27,980
at the end of the scene,
1467
00:38:28,020 --> 00:38:30,980
and he's holding me,
1468
00:38:31,020 --> 00:38:31,861
and, you know,
1469
00:38:31,901 --> 00:38:32,980
the shot pans off,
1470
00:38:33,020 --> 00:38:33,602
and he whispered
1471
00:38:33,642 --> 00:38:33,980
in my ear,
1472
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:34,869
he said,
1473
00:38:34,909 --> 00:38:37,980
"Now, that's acting," right?
1474
00:38:38,020 --> 00:38:38,980
- That's right.
1475
00:38:39,020 --> 00:38:40,336
- "That's acting,"
1476
00:38:40,376 --> 00:38:41,980
and I was like, "Ahh!"
1477
00:38:42,020 --> 00:38:43,980
[laughter]
1478
00:38:44,020 --> 00:38:44,951
You know, every single time.
1479
00:38:44,991 --> 00:38:46,791
- I cry every time I see that.
1480
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,359
- Every single time,
1481
00:38:48,399 --> 00:38:48,980
you know?
1482
00:38:49,020 --> 00:38:51,390
And it's like, he just--
1483
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:53,000
he, um--he, uh--
1484
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,226
it's like--oh, come on.
1485
00:38:56,266 --> 00:38:56,980
Don't do this.
1486
00:38:57,020 --> 00:38:58,246
- I know, I'm s--
1487
00:38:58,286 --> 00:38:58,980
I'm sorry.
1488
00:38:59,020 --> 00:39:00,980
- Tatyana throwing me off.
1489
00:39:01,020 --> 00:39:03,980
[laughter]
1490
00:39:04,020 --> 00:39:06,000
And it's like, when--
1491
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,980
it's like, people do--
1492
00:39:08,020 --> 00:39:09,900
people don't even know
1493
00:39:09,940 --> 00:39:11,980
when they're shaping you
1494
00:39:12,020 --> 00:39:12,920
and forming you
1495
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:13,980
and crafting you.
1496
00:39:14,020 --> 00:39:14,629
- He knew.
1497
00:39:14,669 --> 00:39:15,980
- In that w--he knew.
1498
00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:17,187
No, that's what I'm saying.
1499
00:39:17,227 --> 00:39:17,980
- I think he knew.
1500
00:39:18,020 --> 00:39:19,980
- He knew what he was doing.
1501
00:39:20,020 --> 00:39:20,538
- There's some people
1502
00:39:20,578 --> 00:39:20,980
that plant seeds.
1503
00:39:21,020 --> 00:39:21,409
- Yep.
1504
00:39:21,449 --> 00:39:22,980
- That's what they do.
1505
00:39:23,020 --> 00:39:24,740
And they do it to anyone
1506
00:39:24,780 --> 00:39:25,980
they come across.
1507
00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:27,585
- I mean, he was--
1508
00:39:27,625 --> 00:39:29,980
he was proud of who he was.
1509
00:39:30,020 --> 00:39:30,980
He was proud of his race.
1510
00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:32,370
He was proud of the history
1511
00:39:32,410 --> 00:39:32,980
of his race.
1512
00:39:33,020 --> 00:39:34,980
- Yes.
1513
00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:35,744
- And, you know,
1514
00:39:35,784 --> 00:39:36,980
he could see it, you know?
1515
00:39:37,020 --> 00:39:37,688
And it fell upon you,
1516
00:39:37,728 --> 00:39:37,980
you know?
1517
00:39:38,020 --> 00:39:39,927
It fell upon you
1518
00:39:39,967 --> 00:39:41,980
to grab the rein.
1519
00:39:42,020 --> 00:39:42,980
- Vote for Philip Banks.
1520
00:39:43,020 --> 00:39:45,980
Philip Banks.
1521
00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:47,980
Break out Lucille.
1522
00:39:48,020 --> 00:39:48,980
[laughter]
1523
00:39:49,020 --> 00:39:51,980
[upbeat music]
1524
00:39:52,020 --> 00:39:54,235
I've got a few questions
1525
00:39:54,275 --> 00:39:54,980
for you.
1526
00:39:55,020 --> 00:39:55,666
When you got
1527
00:39:55,706 --> 00:39:56,980
this alleged confession
1528
00:39:57,020 --> 00:39:57,876
from these two young men,
1529

1901
