00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:22,707
Bonjour. My name is Pierre Delacroix.
13
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:27,504
I am a television writer.
A creative person.
14
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:34,344
I'm one of those people responsible
for what you view on your idiot box.
15
00:01:35,387 --> 00:01:36,638
The problem is...
16
00:01:37,347 --> 00:01:41,977
not enough of you have been
watching out there, Television Land.
17
00:01:42,978 --> 00:01:47,774
With the onslaught of the internet,
video and interactive games,
18
00:01:47,857 --> 00:01:51,069
900 channels to choose from...
19
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:56,574
our valued audience
has dramatically eroded.
20
00:01:57,575 --> 00:02:00,412
To put it in much simpler terms,
21
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:04,374
like rats fleeing from a sinking ship,
22
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:08,545
people are tuning out by the millions.
23
00:02:09,212 --> 00:02:14,551

is bad for business.

He went to Juilliard,
School of the Arts.
33
00:03:09,689 --> 00:03:12,275
I gave him his first break. My partner.
34
00:03:15,111 --> 00:03:16,654
Don't hurt 'em. Don't hurt 'em.
35
00:03:26,206 --> 00:03:27,366
Let me shine 'em up.
36
00:03:35,423 --> 00:03:36,591
Wind it up, baby. Wind it up.
37
00:03:41,179 --> 00:03:42,722
What?
38
00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:46,101
Now, before you go,
don't forget to give us that cheese.
39
00:03:46,184 --> 00:03:49,771
That M-O-N-E. Y?
Because we broke. What's up?
40
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:53,525
Thank you very much. Bless you.
Thank you, thank you.
41
00:03:56,111 --> 00:03:58,071
Thank you. Great. There you go.
42
00:03:58,154 --> 00:03:59,954
Bless you from the bottom
of your heart, baby.
43
00:04:00,031 --> 00:04:01,032
Big Dela!
44
00:04:01,116 --> 00:04:02,492
Hey!
45
00:04:02,575 --> 00:04:03,827
It's the Dela man!
46
00:04:04,202 --> 00:04:07,789
There you go with the suits again.
I like that. I like that.
47
00:04:07,872 --> 00:04:08,873
Good morning, Womack.
48
00:04:08,957 --> 00:04:11,143
What's happening, man?
Looks like you're going to the Essence.
49
00:04:11,167 --> 00:04:12,460
- I like the suit, though.
- Yes.
50
00:04:12,544 --> 00:04:14,045
- It's pretty nice.
- Thank you.
51
00:04:14,129 --> 00:04:16,023
Hey, man, why don't you help me
and Manray out, man?
52
00:04:16,047 --> 00:04:17,441
I mean, we're out here
trying to get some work.
53
00:04:17,465 --> 00:04:19,185
You work for the network.
I mean, what's up?
54
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:21,052
Um, I'll - I'll work on something.
55
00:04:21,845 --> 00:04:25,515
You know, Sloan says you're too talented
to be out here dancing in the street.
56
00:04:25,598 --> 00:04:27,558
Word? Why don't you tell Sloan
to come see me?
57
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:28,935
I'll do that.
58
00:04:29,018 --> 00:04:30,019
Good day, gentlemen.
59
00:04:31,521 --> 00:04:33,314
"I'll do that." What is he,
a damn magician?
60
00:04:33,398 --> 00:04:36,118
Help us out, you work for one
of the biggest networks in the country.
61
00:04:38,486 --> 00:04:40,613
I saw somebody put a ten up in here.
Check it.
62
00:04:40,697 --> 00:04:43,074
Whoo. Here we go.
One for you, three for me.
63
00:04:43,158 --> 00:04:45,326
You the feet, I'm the brains.
Told you, boy.
64
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:46,494
Yeah, baby.
65
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:49,164
You have a grand day.
66
00:04:50,498 --> 00:04:51,875
Good morning, Steve.
67
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:54,711
Hello, Margaret.
68
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:58,339
Bartholomew.
69
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:00,008
Kip!
70
00:05:00,925 --> 00:05:02,093
Hey, Jarma.
71
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,388
... 18 to 49-year-old audience.
72
00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:07,724
Do you understand? It's pretty -
73
00:05:09,767 --> 00:05:11,311
Monsieur Delacroix.
74
00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:14,439
- Hello.
- Good morning.
75
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:18,526
This very important staff meeting
commenced exactly...
76
00:05:19,402 --> 00:05:20,987
32 minutes ago.
77
00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:22,989
My apologies around the room
for my tardi -
78
00:05:23,072 --> 00:05:27,076
Do you have any idea how much information
can be dispensed in one minute alone?
79
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,622
Sir, had I been informed
of this very important staff meeting,
80
00:05:30,705 --> 00:05:32,916
I would have canceled
my Pilates session this morning.
81
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:34,435
However, I did not find out about it -
82
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:37,003
So you're telling me
that everyone in the room
83
00:05:37,086 --> 00:05:39,297
knew about this little get-together
except for you.
84
00:05:39,380 --> 00:05:40,381
Marie said that -
85
00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:42,234
People, you can attempt
to pull a Rodman
86
00:05:42,258 --> 00:05:44,219
like our friend Delacroix,
87
00:05:44,302 --> 00:05:47,055
but I guarantee you'll be sent packing,
just like him.
88
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:49,891
These are the ratings, people.
Read 'em and weep.
89
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:52,894
As you can plainly see,
90
00:05:52,977 --> 00:05:55,605
the Continental Network System
is languishing.
91
00:05:55,688 --> 00:05:58,858
Look at 'em, people.
Look at 'em very closely.
92
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:00,693
We are booty.
93
00:06:01,236 --> 00:06:02,237
Caca.
94
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:03,821
We are doo-doo.
95
00:06:03,905 --> 00:06:07,909
I don't like to be the laughingstock
of the entire broadcast industry.
96
00:06:07,992 --> 00:06:10,912
I don't like to have these pricks
who call themselves my bosses
97
00:06:10,995 --> 00:06:12,163
breathing down my back.
98
00:06:12,247 --> 00:06:13,706
It makes me sweat.
99
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:17,669
These numbers are totally unacceptable.
These numbers have to go up.
100
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:21,381
Question?
101
00:06:22,006 --> 00:06:23,633
So what do you want us to do?
102
00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:25,176
Dumb-ass question.
103
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:28,930
What - what I want you to do
is to write some material that is funny.
104
00:06:29,013 --> 00:06:32,725
The material that you've been writing
is about as funny as a dead baby.
105
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:35,812
It's not dope.
It's not new. It's not sexy.
106
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:37,397
-It -
-it sucks.
107
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,940
Thank you, Fish. it sucks.
108
00:06:39,857 --> 00:06:41,359
Look, this meeting is over.
109
00:06:41,943 --> 00:06:43,712
But I want you to think
about what I just said
110
00:06:43,736 --> 00:06:44,737
and how you can deliver.
111
00:06:45,446 --> 00:06:46,531
Otherwise, I promise you,
112
00:06:46,614 --> 00:06:49,200
things are gonna start getting very grim
around here.
113
00:06:49,617 --> 00:06:51,077
Monsieur Delacroix.
114
00:06:51,494 --> 00:06:53,663
Can I see you in my office now, please?
115
00:06:54,956 --> 00:06:56,016
- Yes.
- Psst.
116
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,209
Seeing that you're
all stretched out and shit.
117
00:06:58,293 --> 00:07:01,337
Sloan, why didn't I know
about this very important staff meeting?
118
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:04,507
Nobody sent me an e-mail,
I didn't have a memo, I-l -
119
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:06,676
What good are you
if I don't know about these things?
120
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:09,220
Well, it - it wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault.
121
00:07:09,304 --> 00:07:10,430
I was embarrassed.
122
00:07:10,513 --> 00:07:11,514
-I -
-Hey, Chuckie.
123
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:12,599
Hey. Um...
124
00:07:13,182 --> 00:07:14,934
-But if I don't know, how -
-Humiliated.
125
00:07:15,018 --> 00:07:16,894
But if I don't know,
how are you gonna know?
126
00:07:17,770 --> 00:07:20,815
You know what? It's unacceptable.
And it better never happen again.
127
00:07:20,898 --> 00:07:22,942
Do you know what CP Time is?
128
00:07:23,026 --> 00:07:24,027
CP Time.
129
00:07:24,986 --> 00:07:26,946
CP Time is Colored People's Time.
130
00:07:27,363 --> 00:07:30,283
The stereotypical belief
that Negroes are always late,
131
00:07:30,825 --> 00:07:33,202
that Negroes have no sense of time.
132
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:36,039
Time, except when it comes
to music or dance,
133
00:07:36,122 --> 00:07:37,707
then you can set your watch to them.
134
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:41,044
I'm sorry about my blowup.
135
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:44,839
- Hey, it's okay. I understand.
- Listen, let's sit down.
136
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:49,719
Look, I know you're the most
creative person I've got on staff.
137
00:07:50,261 --> 00:07:52,513
I mean, you're hip,
you know what's happening.
138
00:07:53,014 --> 00:07:55,725
I've got a bunch of pasty-ass white boys
and girls writing for me.
139
00:07:55,808 --> 00:07:57,036
You know what I mean?
140
00:07:57,060 --> 00:07:59,395
You know, I grew up around black people
my whole life.
141
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:02,899
I mean, if the truth be told,
I probably know niggers better than you.
142
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:07,403
And don't go getting offended
by my use of the "N-word."
143
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:10,865
I have a black wife and two biracial kids,
so I feel I have a right.
144
00:08:10,948 --> 00:08:13,493
I don't give a goddamn
what that prick Spike Lee says.
145
00:08:13,576 --> 00:08:16,371
Tarantino was right.
Nigger is just a word.
146
00:08:16,454 --> 00:08:19,624
If old dirty bastard can use it
every other word, why can't I?
147
00:08:19,707 --> 00:08:23,461
Well, I would prefer if you did not use
that word in my presence.
148
00:08:23,544 --> 00:08:24,545
Really?
149
00:08:26,422 --> 00:08:28,758
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger.
150
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:32,136
Whitey, whitey, whitey, whitey!
151
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:35,807
The material you've been writing for me,
it's too white-bread.
152
00:08:35,890 --> 00:08:38,226
It's white people with black faces.
153
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:41,145
The Huxtables, Cosby,
a genius, revolutionary.
154
00:08:41,229 --> 00:08:42,855
Theo, Lisa Bonet, dope.
155
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:45,817
- But we can't go down that road again.
- I disagree.
156
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:48,069
The Negro middle class does exist,
157
00:08:48,152 --> 00:08:51,948
and it's fertile ground
for a dramatic series or even a sitcom.
158
00:08:52,031 --> 00:08:53,950
Look at this stuff I'm having to read.
159
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:56,160
A...
160
00:08:56,244 --> 00:09:01,416
A black family moves in
to a white middle-class suburban enclave.
161
00:09:01,499 --> 00:09:02,583
This is shit.
162
00:09:03,751 --> 00:09:07,630
A black girl is adopted
by some chink American family?
163
00:09:07,714 --> 00:09:09,257
- They were Polynesian.
- Yeah.
164
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:15,763
A black headmaster is hired at some
old-money, crusty Eastern boarding school.
165
00:09:15,847 --> 00:09:19,642
Garbage. It's too clean,
it's too antiseptic,
166
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:21,269
-it's too -
-White.
167
00:09:21,352 --> 00:09:24,147
Delacroix, wake up, brother man.
168
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,190
The reason why these shows
didn't get picked up
169
00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:29,235
is because nobody,
and I mean no-motherfuckin'-body,
170
00:09:29,318 --> 00:09:31,821
niggers and crackers alike,
wants to see that junk.
171
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:33,865
People want to be entertained.
172
00:09:33,948 --> 00:09:37,326
The reason why it didn't get picked up
is because no one gave it a chance.
173
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,620
Really? No one gave them a chance?
174
00:09:40,329 --> 00:09:42,582
You - you got your head
stuck so far up your ass
175
00:09:42,665 --> 00:09:46,419
with your Harvard education
and your bullshit pretentious buppie ways.
176
00:09:46,878 --> 00:09:48,713
Brother man, I'm blacker than you.
177
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:52,467
I'm keeping it real.
I'm 'bout it, 'bout it. I got the roll.
178
00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:54,469
You're just frontin' tryin' to be white.
179
00:09:55,219 --> 00:09:57,221
- I'm an Oreo.
- Yeah!
180
00:09:57,305 --> 00:09:58,306
- A sellout.
- Yeah!
181
00:09:58,389 --> 00:10:02,602
'Cause I don't aspire to do
some Homeboys from Outer Space,
182
00:10:02,685 --> 00:10:04,687
The Secret Diary ofDesmond Pfeiffer,
183
00:10:04,771 --> 00:10:07,356
- or, as you may put it, some nigger show?
- That's -
184
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,067
- Is that what you think?
- Yes. That's exactly what I think.
185
00:10:10,151 --> 00:10:14,447
You and I know that black people
set the trends, set the styles.
186
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:16,824
This is a golden opportunity for CNS,
187
00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:18,868
but these idiots
have to be led to the water.
188
00:10:18,951 --> 00:10:20,286
We could do this together.
189
00:10:20,369 --> 00:10:22,497
I want a show that will make headlines.
190
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:24,248
I want millions and millions of viewers
191
00:10:24,332 --> 00:10:27,043
tuned and glued
to their fucking televisions every week
192
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:30,421
saying, "Did you see what the fuck
they were doing on CNS last night?"
193
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:34,425
I want advertisers sucking my dick
to buy on this show. You understand?
194
00:10:34,509 --> 00:10:36,552
And I'm gonna squeeze it out of you
if it kills you.
195
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:39,555
Peep this. Peep this.
I'll give you a thousand dollars
196
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,266
if you can name
who the fuck number 24 is, right there.
197
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:46,312
- You think I don't know?
- Yeah, who is it?
198
00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:49,023
That would be...
199
00:10:50,775 --> 00:10:52,652
Yeah. Who is it?
200
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:58,658
Well, I'll tell you like this.
One day, soon, man,
201
00:10:59,283 --> 00:11:03,579
we're trying to live in a phat crib,
bills paid for,
202
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:07,458
get a ride, throw some rims on there,
a system.
203
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:10,378
Throw some platinum on the body,
you know what I'm saying?
204
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:11,712
Shiny.
205
00:11:12,213 --> 00:11:14,632
- Ready to get some jewelry already?
- Yeah, man.
206
00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:16,300
It's the first thing we do, son.
207
00:11:16,843 --> 00:11:19,846
We get jewelry, we get some Hillnigger,
and we get a ride.
208
00:11:19,929 --> 00:11:21,609
Throw some rims up there.
209
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:23,057
You gotta have some patience, man.
210
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:25,059
I'm the brain of this outfit.
I am the brain.
211
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,520
And I'm the feet.
212
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:30,189
Manny, I can't just snap my fingers
213
00:11:30,273 --> 00:11:32,275
and presto chango,
you're an overnight sensation.
214
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:34,110
Son, it don't work like that.
215
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:35,903
Fuck you think I am, Houdini out here?
216
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:38,197
I'm just tired of waiting, man.
217
00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:48,291
Feed...
218
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:50,543
the...
219
00:11:51,252 --> 00:11:52,837
idiot box.
220
00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:58,509
Feed the idiot box.
221
00:11:58,593 --> 00:12:01,470
Idiot, feed the idiot box.
222
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,897
Hi. We're backstage
at the TrevorBerbick Theater.
223
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:13,065
This is where we tape The Chris Rock Show.
224
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:15,693
My first writing staff
225
00:12:16,027 --> 00:12:19,196
You know, theyreally wanted
to get to know the black experience.
226
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,364
So I fired 'em.
227
00:12:25,244 --> 00:12:27,872
I was nevergood
atperforming under the gun.
228
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:31,542
Well, this wasn't a gun.
229
00:12:31,626 --> 00:12:35,671
It was a bazooka, and it was pressed
point-blank against my temple.
230
00:12:36,255 --> 00:12:39,342
Anytime Pierre's in ajam,
I get the call.
231
00:12:40,217 --> 00:12:45,181
I could always count
on mylamb, Sloan Hopkins.
232
00:13:01,739 --> 00:13:04,909
Yo. Yo, yo, yo.
233
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,454
All right, come on.
Come on, come on, come on!
234
00:13:08,996 --> 00:13:09,997
Come on!
235
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:14,794
Please evacuate.
236
00:13:15,419 --> 00:13:18,547
All of you are illegalresidents
in this condemned building.
237
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:25,179
Leave immediatelyby order of the mayor
of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani.
238
00:13:26,305 --> 00:13:28,307
- Eureka!
- My God.
239
00:13:28,391 --> 00:13:30,351
- Eureka!
- My God.
240
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:36,148
Please evacuate.
241
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:40,695
All of you are illegalresidents
of this condemned building.
242
00:13:40,778 --> 00:13:46,409
Please leave immediatelyby order of the
mayor of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani.
243
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:47,827
Manray!
244
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,294
I can't believe that Manray
was under our noses the entire time.
245
00:13:57,378 --> 00:13:59,588
I know. Do you know how you'll use him?
246
00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:04,051
Dunwitty wants a coon show.
So that's what I intend to give him.
247
00:14:04,135 --> 00:14:08,180
The show will be so negative,
so offensive and racist,
248
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:10,558
hence, I will prove my point.
249
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:12,184
Which is what?
250
00:14:12,643 --> 00:14:15,730
The point being that him, the network,
251
00:14:15,813 --> 00:14:19,859
does not want to see Negroes on television
unless they are buffoons.
252
00:14:19,942 --> 00:14:23,362
Well, they definitely do not want
to see dignified black people.
253
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,280
No sirree.
254
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:28,117
They proved that by canceling your show
Brown Nose Jones, which was brilliant!
255
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,118
Yes. Yes.
256
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:31,120
After 13 episodes, they canceled it.
257
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,581
They put it against Seinfeld.
It didn't have a chance!
258
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:39,837
I don't know, Pierre. I really don't.
It still sounds very risky.
259
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,797
You're not getting cold feet on me,
are you?
260
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:43,799
No. I'm down with you.
261
00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:47,136
Good, because I'm gonna need
your undying support, lamb.
262
00:14:47,928 --> 00:14:49,764
Have you ever thought about just quitting?
263
00:14:51,307 --> 00:14:52,308
Quitters quit.
264
00:14:53,392 --> 00:14:56,270
Besides, I'd get sued. I have a contract.
265
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:59,482
The only way I get out of that
is if I get fired.
266
00:14:59,565 --> 00:15:01,776
And that is what I intend to do.
267
00:15:02,943 --> 00:15:05,404
What? You've seen my place
down at the Clocktower.
268
00:15:05,488 --> 00:15:06,781
I've got a mortgage.
269
00:15:06,864 --> 00:15:09,033
All right, well, I've got some work to do.
270
00:15:09,116 --> 00:15:12,119
- So... I will see you later.
- Okay.
271
00:15:12,203 --> 00:15:14,246
And you have a conference call.
Don't forget.
272
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:16,332
Two o'clock, yes. Yes.
273
00:15:28,636 --> 00:15:30,763
Look, I know what I'm doing.
Follow me.
274
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:36,894
Hey. Good morning, fellas.
275
00:15:36,977 --> 00:15:41,398
- We're looking for a Mr. Dela... point.
- No one here by that name.
276
00:15:42,024 --> 00:15:43,776
Delapot, Delapoint, Dela-something.
277
00:15:43,859 --> 00:15:46,070
And De La Soul is not here, either.
278
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:47,947
- Step outside.
- Come on, man. Delacox?
279
00:15:48,030 --> 00:15:49,030
Off premises!
280
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:50,908
You know what I'm saying?
You know this guy.
281
00:15:50,991 --> 00:15:52,952
I'm saying we asking you a question, man.
282
00:15:56,372 --> 00:15:57,748
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
283
00:15:57,832 --> 00:15:59,583
Please. Hi. Hi, guys. Hi, hi.
284
00:15:59,667 --> 00:16:03,587
Listen. Um, these are associates
of Mr. Delacroix.
285
00:16:03,671 --> 00:16:06,674
- S-So you know them?
- Yes, I do. I know them very well.
286
00:16:07,424 --> 00:16:10,386
- You need an escort?
- No, no, no. I got it. Thank you.
287
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:12,149
- Thank you.
- Sorry, Ms. Hopkins.
288
00:16:12,179 --> 00:16:14,866
- We thought they were from the street.
- No, you were just doing your job!
289
00:16:14,890 --> 00:16:17,226
Don't you worry about a thing. Thank you!
290
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:19,103
Guys, get in there. Come on. lnside.
291
00:16:19,603 --> 00:16:21,981
Hello, hello. Wait a minute.
292
00:16:22,565 --> 00:16:24,108
Amos wants to talk too.
293
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:26,485
Allright.
294
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:29,238
Goodbye, sweet dumplin'.
295
00:16:30,364 --> 00:16:31,866
The boy with the egg-shaped head.
296
00:16:31,949 --> 00:16:35,411
The boy with the egg-shaped head.
I mean, wait...
297
00:16:36,453 --> 00:16:37,454
Hello, honey.
298
00:16:39,874 --> 00:16:42,126
- Enter.
- Pierre.
299
00:16:43,294 --> 00:16:44,670
Look who I found.
300
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,425
Eureka! I am so happy to see you cats.
301
00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:52,052
- What's up, dawg?
- Hey, what's up?
302
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:55,365
You'd take no offense
if we call you Dela for short, would you?
303
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:56,891
None taken at all, my friend.
304
00:16:56,974 --> 00:17:00,186
I have a concept for a television pilot.
305
00:17:00,644 --> 00:17:03,480
Now, there's no guarantee
that this thing will ever get made,
306
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:07,318
but it is an opportunity
for you two gentlemen to make some cash.
307
00:17:08,235 --> 00:17:10,321
- How much?
- First things first, my friend.
308
00:17:10,404 --> 00:17:14,116
I need to know
that we are in sync creatively
309
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,702
and that Manray is up for this.
310
00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:18,787
Sure. I mean, what I gotta do?
311
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:21,040
You simply do...
312
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:22,708
What it is you do.
313
00:17:22,791 --> 00:17:24,293
And what you do best.
314
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:27,338
- Cool. Where do I sign?
- Wait a - "Where do I sign?"
315
00:17:27,963 --> 00:17:29,423
What kind of show is this anyway?
316
00:17:29,506 --> 00:17:31,008
- Different.
- How different?
317
00:17:31,091 --> 00:17:34,053
Impactful. Um, cutting-edge.
318
00:17:34,136 --> 00:17:38,265
And, of course, it will incorporate
both of your very unique talents.
319
00:17:38,349 --> 00:17:40,434
Yes. Yes,
and it's a hell of a lot better
320
00:17:40,517 --> 00:17:43,938
than tap-dancing in the street
for pennies. Trust us.
321
00:17:44,647 --> 00:17:47,191
I still have to pitch this
to my superiors...
322
00:17:47,942 --> 00:17:49,985
but either way,
we should know something soon.
323
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:51,111
It sounds good to me.
324
00:17:51,195 --> 00:17:53,906
As long as I get to hoof,
or we're getting some loot...
325
00:17:54,490 --> 00:17:55,574
- Aye.
- Good, yo.
326
00:17:55,658 --> 00:17:57,785
Because we're trying
to get some income coming in.
327
00:17:57,868 --> 00:18:00,829
Yes.
Money makes the wheels turn, my friend.
328
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:03,374
What about the meantime,
in-between time, I mean -
329
00:18:03,958 --> 00:18:04,959
You know, like -
330
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:07,378
You're talking an advance.
331
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:08,796
That's done.
332
00:18:08,879 --> 00:18:09,964
Okay.
333
00:18:10,047 --> 00:18:12,883
Now, there is one other slight thing.
334
00:18:14,426 --> 00:18:18,722
I would like for you to change your name,
if you don't mind.
335
00:18:18,806 --> 00:18:20,599
- Change my name to what?
- Yes.
336
00:18:20,683 --> 00:18:21,683
To what?
337
00:18:21,725 --> 00:18:23,102
Mantan.
338
00:18:26,939 --> 00:18:28,107
All right.
339
00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:30,734
Mantan. It's cool, man.
Look, like I told you,
340
00:18:30,818 --> 00:18:35,072
long as I'm hoofin'
and gettin' some loot, I'm good, man.
341
00:18:35,155 --> 00:18:37,866
But one thing, can I get some new kicks?
342
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:39,827
And, some new tap shoes?
343
00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:41,328
Yes, you could use those.
344
00:18:41,745 --> 00:18:43,038
Sloan, some new shoes.
345
00:18:43,122 --> 00:18:46,166
Okay, new shoes.
346
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:47,970
Let me get the whole
Hillnigger hookup?
347
00:18:48,043 --> 00:18:49,795
Some jeans, Hillnigger jeans?
348
00:18:50,379 --> 00:18:52,715
- Definitely, most def.
- Okay.
349
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:53,799
- All right?
- Most def.
350
00:18:53,882 --> 00:18:55,801
- Um, some sweaters.
- Sweaters...
351
00:18:55,884 --> 00:18:58,345
Definitely some sweaters,
nothing fancy.
352
00:18:58,429 --> 00:19:00,973
You know, like, some cashmere,
some wool, something like that.
353
00:19:01,056 --> 00:19:03,350
- Cashmere, wool.
- Some underwear.
354
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:07,229
- Underwear.
- Toothpaste. Toothbrush.
355
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:09,148
Deodorant.
356
00:19:09,231 --> 00:19:10,941
We have deodorant.
357
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:13,736
We might be able to use some more, though.
358
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:18,157
Okay. I think I have...
this under control.
359
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,908
Yes. Okay.
360
00:19:20,492 --> 00:19:23,329
No, no, no, no. I understand completely.
361
00:19:24,288 --> 00:19:26,165
Yes. Okay, thank you. Bye-bye.
362
00:19:27,624 --> 00:19:29,793
Never had a real - real pair before.
363
00:19:29,877 --> 00:19:33,922
Really? Wow. You never had
any formal training either, have you?
364
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:38,218
Not really. I mean, I picked up
some steps from, like, older cats.
365
00:19:38,302 --> 00:19:39,970
- Slyde, Chaney.
- Right.
366
00:19:40,054 --> 00:19:42,056
But, you know, most of the stuff, yeah.
367
00:19:42,139 --> 00:19:43,932
What's up with you and Dela?
368
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:46,810
You mean, what's up with me and Pierre?
369
00:19:47,311 --> 00:19:52,316
I mean, you know, y'all... together?
Y'all... knocking boots? I mean -
370
00:19:52,399 --> 00:19:55,361
- Knocking boots? I don't think so.
- Nah? Never?
371
00:19:55,444 --> 00:20:00,240
Never! Like I said,
I was at NYU, I got an internship,
372
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:02,951
Pierre was very impressed
with my get-up-and-go,
373
00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:04,411
so he kept me as his assistant.
374
00:20:04,495 --> 00:20:07,289
Okay. I'm sure that was the only thing
he was impressed with.
375
00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:08,665
- Yes.
- The get-up-and-go.
376
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:10,125
- Yes.
- Yes.
377
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:12,461
- You look beautiful like that.
- Thank you.
378
00:20:36,693 --> 00:20:37,778
Little sister.
379
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:42,574
- What are you doing here?
- I need bail money.
380
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,284
- Again?
- Again.
381
00:20:45,452 --> 00:20:47,955
What's going on? How you feeling?
382
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:50,249
I'm doing good.
383
00:20:50,666 --> 00:20:52,835
Good to see you, little sister.
384
00:20:52,918 --> 00:20:56,004
Working hard
for the man on the plantation.
385
00:20:57,005 --> 00:21:00,342
All right. Enough of the family reunion
in the middle of the street.
386
00:21:00,426 --> 00:21:02,261
Julius, what can I do for you?
387
00:21:02,344 --> 00:21:04,388
Damn it, Sloan.
388
00:21:04,763 --> 00:21:07,808
Damn, man, you -
you can't keep doing that.
389
00:21:07,891 --> 00:21:11,562
It's not fresh. No, I'm - I'm serious.
It's not cute no more.
390
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:14,606
You keep calling me
by the slave name our government -
391
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,233
It's just disrespectful, man.
392
00:21:16,316 --> 00:21:20,612
You know what? I hope you don't think
I'm gonna call you Big Black Africa.
393
00:21:20,696 --> 00:21:22,239
I do. I do hope that.
394
00:21:22,322 --> 00:21:25,534
I would expect that you would call me
whatever name I chose for myself.
395
00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:26,785
I'm not doing that.
396
00:21:26,869 --> 00:21:30,664
Mommy and Daddy named you Julius,
so that's what I'm gonna call you.
397
00:21:30,747 --> 00:21:33,417
it ain't like you some disrespect
to Mommy and Daddy.
398
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:36,253
It's not a dis. It's about I got a name
that I chose for myself.
399
00:21:36,336 --> 00:21:39,381
You understand what I'm saying?
They named Muhammad Ali "Cassius Clay."
400
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:40,775
You don't call him "Cassius Clay."
401
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:41,967
- It's a dis.
- Right.
402
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:45,095
You don't call
el-Hajj Malik Shabazz "Detroit Red."
403
00:21:45,179 --> 00:21:47,532
You don't call him "Malcolm Little."
You call him "Malcolm X."
404
00:21:47,556 --> 00:21:49,850
You show respect.
It's the same thing with me, Sloan.
405
00:21:49,933 --> 00:21:54,354
It's easy. I was born with one name,
but I chose for myself my own identity.
406
00:21:54,438 --> 00:21:58,192
Big Black Af. Big Black Africa.
It's real simple.
407
00:21:58,275 --> 00:22:01,612
It ain't like I named myself,
Mfufu.
408
00:22:01,695 --> 00:22:04,198
You want me to hook up
you and the Mau Maus?
409
00:22:04,281 --> 00:22:08,076
Why would I hook up
some black, red, green,
410
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,538
flag-waving pseudo-revolutionaries?
411
00:22:11,622 --> 00:22:13,499
First, you done messed up
the colors first.
412
00:22:13,582 --> 00:22:16,585
- What's the colors?
- It's - damn, it's red, black and green!
413
00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:18,938
Everybody - White people know
it's red, black and green, Sloan.
414
00:22:18,962 --> 00:22:20,714
- And secondly...
- Red, black and green.
415
00:22:20,797 --> 00:22:22,466
...why - why are we "pseudo"?
416
00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:26,470
If we were talking about some ice
and fuckin' Cristal,
417
00:22:26,553 --> 00:22:30,682
and pushin' Bentleys
and fuckin' pop mogul, all that shit,
418
00:22:30,766 --> 00:22:32,100
then we would be the fly shit?
419
00:22:32,184 --> 00:22:35,812
If we was on - You like that shit,
you'd be like - You like bling-blinging.
420
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:38,065
Who are you revolting against?
421
00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:39,566
What are you revolting against?
422
00:22:39,650 --> 00:22:41,410
What are you talking about
in all them songs?
423
00:22:41,485 --> 00:22:43,570
In them songs?
In our songs, Mau Mau songs?
424
00:22:43,654 --> 00:22:46,907
- Yeah! In the songs!
- Shit, we talking about fuckin' -
425
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:51,119
Revolution!
We talkin' about people gettin' free.
426
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:53,038
The fuckin' America.
427
00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:55,791
- USA, KKK, all that shit.
- There we go.
428
00:22:55,874 --> 00:23:00,254
This is the shit we're revolting against.
And people's hearts - is all fucked-up.
429
00:23:00,337 --> 00:23:03,340
- People are stupid in their mind.
- Just stop. Please, stop.
430
00:23:03,423 --> 00:23:05,634
- Golly day, you sound stupid.
- What?
431
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:07,010
You sound retarded.
432
00:23:07,094 --> 00:23:09,721
I sound retarded, right?
But fuckin' master -
433
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:12,641
That motherfucker
is a fuckin' millionaire,
434
00:23:12,724 --> 00:23:14,434
gruntin' on records. That shit is crazy.
435
00:23:14,518 --> 00:23:16,937
If I had some platinum drawers,
I'd be the nigger, right?
436
00:23:17,020 --> 00:23:19,290
You know what you should just do?
You should just introduce me
437
00:23:19,314 --> 00:23:20,899
- to your - what's his name?
- Delacroix.
438
00:23:20,983 --> 00:23:21,984
Word, him.
439
00:23:22,442 --> 00:23:24,611
You should hook us -
You should just let me meet him.
440
00:23:24,695 --> 00:23:27,155
Why in the world would he write a show
about the Mau Maus?
441
00:23:27,239 --> 00:23:28,240
Just tell me that.
442
00:23:28,323 --> 00:23:29,408
Shit.
443
00:23:29,866 --> 00:23:32,202
The - You know how many fuckin' -
444
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:36,540
Aw, man. The fuckin' Monkees had a show.
445
00:23:37,332 --> 00:23:39,918
The - The Partridge Family.
446
00:23:40,002 --> 00:23:42,796
Shit, if them - if them motherfuckers
can have a show...
447
00:23:42,879 --> 00:23:45,382
They had demographics. You don't.
448
00:23:45,465 --> 00:23:48,218
The Mau Maus? I'm telling you,
we got an underground following.
449
00:23:48,302 --> 00:23:52,222
We could blow shit. it ain't big,
but it's some small shit
450
00:23:52,306 --> 00:23:56,268
that, like, y'all could expand on
and help blow that shit up.
451
00:23:56,351 --> 00:23:57,894
Let me put it to you like this,
452
00:23:57,978 --> 00:24:03,775
if I ever decide to do, like, a Brooklyn
public television show, I'll call you,
453
00:24:03,859 --> 00:24:10,574
but until then, I am not taking you
to my new job where I'm on the rise
454
00:24:10,657 --> 00:24:14,494
and have you and your crew
blow up my spot.
455
00:24:14,578 --> 00:24:16,288
How is that blowin' up your shit?
456
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:18,707
Y'all are embarrassing.
457
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:20,626
Period.
458
00:24:22,961 --> 00:24:23,962
We're embarrassing?
459
00:24:24,046 --> 00:24:26,340
Y'all ignorant! Y'all ignant.
460
00:24:26,423 --> 00:24:27,716
All right, granted.
461
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:31,261
You know, I got a few niggers in my crew,
they got problems. You know -
462
00:24:31,678 --> 00:24:33,889
Hard black - I mean, niggas ain't perfect.
463
00:24:33,972 --> 00:24:35,766
You know what?
You talkin' a hole in my head.
464
00:24:35,849 --> 00:24:39,019
- I got stuff to do. Let's wrap it up.
- That's fucked up, man.
465
00:24:39,102 --> 00:24:41,188
- Let's wrap it up.
- You saying it's embarrasin'.
466
00:24:41,271 --> 00:24:44,149
That's like - black folks
been doin' that shit to each other
467
00:24:44,232 --> 00:24:47,402
for the last hundred -
400 fucking years, man!
468
00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:50,113
This shit is like some house-nigger shit
when you say that shit.
469
00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:53,492
- ... Wait a minute.
- Aw, nah. Don't go there.
470
00:24:53,575 --> 00:24:55,215
- That ain't what I said.
- Hold up!
471
00:24:55,285 --> 00:24:56,495
That ain't what I said!
472
00:24:56,578 --> 00:25:00,457
Julius, are you calling
your sister a house nigger?
473
00:25:00,540 --> 00:25:03,260
That ain't what I said. I don't even know
why you tryin' to go there.
474
00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:07,255
Why don't you take your field-nigger ass
up out my house-nigger house?
475
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:10,634
You was just waitin' for the perfect time
to throw me out anyway.
476
00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:13,095
All right, Martin.
Just let me get some water.
477
00:25:13,178 --> 00:25:18,600
Okay, get your water, and then you -
Heh! Okay?
478
00:25:18,725 --> 00:25:20,936
Dela, my man,
I'm glad you got your mind right.
479
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:23,980
Well, it's right, tight,
and ready to delight.
480
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:25,440
Okay, I'm with this.
481
00:25:25,524 --> 00:25:29,152
Mr. Dunwitty, please sit back
and allow me to paint a picture.
482
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:31,780
Okay, I'm all ears,
and my nose is a close second.
483
00:25:33,490 --> 00:25:37,285
Now, I have been doing a lot
of soul-searching.
484
00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:39,830
- Okay.
- And, once again, you're right.
485
00:25:40,288 --> 00:25:43,875
My previous work has been all surface.
Superficial.
486
00:25:43,959 --> 00:25:45,544
It's a thing of the past.
487
00:25:45,627 --> 00:25:49,256
Yes, I've never really dug deep
into my pain as a Negro.
488
00:25:49,339 --> 00:25:51,883
Hey, look, those things,
they're hard to look at sometimes.
489
00:25:51,967 --> 00:25:53,552
Yes, yes, yes.
490
00:25:53,635 --> 00:25:55,762
And as Mark Twain so fully understood,
491
00:25:55,846 --> 00:26:02,394
satire is the way if we are ever
to live side by side in peace and harmony.
492
00:26:02,477 --> 00:26:03,562
- Right.
- So...
493
00:26:03,645 --> 00:26:08,316
my show that I'm pitching
is about promoting racial healing.
494
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,110
Healing is great. I like this.
495
00:26:10,193 --> 00:26:11,737
- Give me more. Go on.
- Yes.
496
00:26:11,820 --> 00:26:14,489
Now, I know you are familiar
with minstrel shows.
497
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:18,285
- Yes. Yes.
- They came about in the 1840s.
498
00:26:18,368 --> 00:26:19,369
It was a variety show
499
00:26:19,453 --> 00:26:23,373
in which the talent was singing,
dancing, telling jokes, doing skits.
500
00:26:23,457 --> 00:26:25,917
- Like In Living Color.
- Right, right, right. That was dope.
501
00:26:26,001 --> 00:26:27,294
Now, Mr. Dunwitty, I ask you,
502
00:26:27,377 --> 00:26:30,839
when was the last time
there was a great variety show on the air?
503
00:26:31,214 --> 00:26:33,216
- Carol Burnett?
- Carol was bomb, yo.
504
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:35,010
- Hee Haw?
- Hee Haw was -
505
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:38,221
- Kenan & Kel?
- Yo, that's the stupidest shit on TV, yo.
506
00:26:38,305 --> 00:26:41,183
So I say, let's take this form,
507
00:26:41,266 --> 00:26:44,561
this very American tradition
of entertainment
508
00:26:44,644 --> 00:26:47,898
into the 21 st century, the new millennium.
509
00:26:47,981 --> 00:26:51,359
Okay. Now, what's the name of the show?
We need something that we could sell.
510
00:26:51,443 --> 00:26:57,741
Mantan:: The New Millennium Minstrel Show!
511
00:26:57,824 --> 00:27:00,368
Mantan:: The New Millennium...
512
00:27:00,911 --> 00:27:03,246
I really, really like this.
You know how I know?
513
00:27:04,289 --> 00:27:06,625
I'm gettin' a boner.
514
00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:09,169
Swanson Johnson is getting hard.
You know what I'm saying?
515
00:27:09,252 --> 00:27:11,797
I like this.
I'm feelin' this shit! I like this.
516
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,466
- No, it's -
-No, give me more. Give me more.
517
00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:18,762
It's gonna take a lot of courage
and backbone on the part of CNS
518
00:27:18,845 --> 00:27:20,430
to get this thing on the air.
519
00:27:20,514 --> 00:27:22,194
You don't worry about that. That's my job.
520
00:27:22,265 --> 00:27:25,026
You just be the creative genius
that you've proven that you are, okay?
521
00:27:25,101 --> 00:27:27,938
Now, who - who are we gonna get
to star in the show?
522
00:27:28,021 --> 00:27:30,607
Because we need a star
to carry the show, I mean -
523
00:27:30,690 --> 00:27:33,151
Can Whoopi -
can she sing and dance anymore?
524
00:27:33,235 --> 00:27:35,445
- I mean, can she get jiggy?
- No, no, no.
525
00:27:35,529 --> 00:27:37,739
Ms. Goldberg is the wrong way
526
00:27:37,823 --> 00:27:39,783
- to go with this thing!
- Fuck her.
527
00:27:39,866 --> 00:27:43,370
- We want fresh faces.
- Fresh faces.
528
00:27:43,453 --> 00:27:45,080
- New talent.
- New talent.
529
00:27:45,163 --> 00:27:46,331
- Young blood.
- Young blood.
530
00:27:46,414 --> 00:27:48,625
Sloan! Enter!
531
00:27:50,752 --> 00:27:52,212
- Hello, Sloan.
- Hi.
532
00:27:52,754 --> 00:27:54,840
Gentlemen, please, have a seat.
533
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:58,677
How you doin', guys?
534
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,847
Are these my two little stars
sitting right in front of me? Mantan?
535
00:28:01,930 --> 00:28:04,850
Yeah. That's me.
I always wanted to be on TV.
536
00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:06,101
Well, now's your shot, kid.
537
00:28:06,184 --> 00:28:08,937
And that is Sleep'n Eat.
538
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:12,440
- Wh-What's the name?
- Sleep... and Eat.
539
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:14,860
Sleep and motherfuckin' Eat.
540
00:28:15,277 --> 00:28:17,362
Shit.
541
00:28:17,445 --> 00:28:19,906
Shit!
542
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:24,160
Mantan, Sleep'n Eat. Two real coons.
543
00:28:24,244 --> 00:28:27,914
- Real, keeping it real, baby.
- Now, I know that this is out there...
544
00:28:27,998 --> 00:28:29,517
- Right.
- ...but it is satire.
545
00:28:29,541 --> 00:28:31,793
No, no, no. Listen,
I want you to take it out there.
546
00:28:31,877 --> 00:28:34,087
I mean, let's swing for the bleachers
on this one, okay?
547
00:28:34,170 --> 00:28:39,926
Every week, we follow the trials
and tribulations of Mantan, Sleep'n Eat,
548
00:28:40,260 --> 00:28:43,096
two real coons, the Dusty Duo!
549
00:28:43,179 --> 00:28:44,556
What are their character traits?
550
00:28:44,639 --> 00:28:45,682
Ignorant.
551
00:28:46,099 --> 00:28:47,434
Dull-witted.
552
00:28:47,517 --> 00:28:48,560
Lazy.
553
00:28:48,643 --> 00:28:51,521
And unlucky!
554
00:28:51,605 --> 00:28:54,524
- Exactly. Exactly what I'm lookin' for.
- Yes.
555
00:28:54,608 --> 00:28:58,486
Mantan here is the uneducated Negro,
556
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:01,156
- but with educated feets...
- Right.
557
00:29:01,239 --> 00:29:04,910
...who by some stroke
of unbelievable stupidity
558
00:29:04,993 --> 00:29:07,996
always makes his best-laid plans
go haywire.
559
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:11,666
- Sleep'n Eat is his comical sidekick?
- Yes! Yes.
560
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:14,294
Who sings like Sammy.
561
00:29:14,377 --> 00:29:15,754
- He can sing, too?
- Yes.
562
00:29:15,837 --> 00:29:17,172
This is gonna be big.
563
00:29:17,255 --> 00:29:21,927
I mean, this could be bigger than Friends,
Ally McBeal, even my boys Amos 'n'Andy!
564
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:24,971
Protests finally
got Amos 'n'Andy off the air,
565
00:29:25,055 --> 00:29:28,642
and that could very well happen
to a program like this one.
566
00:29:28,725 --> 00:29:31,519
- Well, yeah, let 'em try. Let 'em try.
- Let 'em try.
567
00:29:31,603 --> 00:29:33,730
Black folks will be outraged.
568
00:29:33,813 --> 00:29:36,650
So what? We'll just give the NAACP
a little donation.
569
00:29:36,733 --> 00:29:38,777
I've dealt with those guys before.
Big deal, right?
570
00:29:38,860 --> 00:29:42,322
I mean, and besides, where I come from,
there's no such thing as bad publicity.
571
00:29:42,405 --> 00:29:45,367
This is not about the NAACP. Okay? This -
572
00:29:46,868 --> 00:29:49,996
- This - the content of the show...
- Right.
573
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,666
...is - it's just politically incorrect.
574
00:29:52,749 --> 00:29:55,251
Who wants to be PC these days anyway?
575
00:29:55,335 --> 00:29:58,421
I mean, they - a couple of minutes,
you'll go singing and dancing,
576
00:29:58,505 --> 00:30:01,383
you know, shucking and jiving,
a little good, fun home entertainment.
577
00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:02,884
- Right?
- Yes. Exactly.
578
00:30:02,968 --> 00:30:06,471
Then listen, let me ask you
a question. Who are the other characters?
579
00:30:06,554 --> 00:30:09,116
You got other characters developed?
'Cause it can't just be these two, right?
580
00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:12,102
We have three-dimensional characters.
581
00:30:12,185 --> 00:30:14,080
- What have you got?
- How about Honeycutt?
582
00:30:14,104 --> 00:30:15,544
Topsy.
583
00:30:16,398 --> 00:30:19,985
Rastus.
Lil'nigger Jim.
584
00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:22,028
And Sambo.
585
00:30:22,112 --> 00:30:24,489
And I would be remiss to not mention...
586
00:30:25,115 --> 00:30:27,450
Aunt Jemima.
587
00:30:29,869 --> 00:30:32,539
Aunt Jemima's gonna
rock the do-rag, right?
588
00:30:32,622 --> 00:30:34,541
This is gonna be the crazy shit.
589
00:30:34,624 --> 00:30:36,602
We're gonna hit 'em
with the bomb diggity on this one.
590
00:30:36,626 --> 00:30:38,086
Now, what's - what's the setting?
591
00:30:39,254 --> 00:30:40,630
The projects.
592
00:30:40,714 --> 00:30:43,049
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's your first bad move.
593
00:30:43,133 --> 00:30:44,773
That's the problem with everything today.
594
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:47,971
TVs, movies, hip-hop,
it all takes place in the hood.
595
00:30:48,054 --> 00:30:50,890
And everybody wants to bust a cap
in a motherfucker. All right?
596
00:30:50,974 --> 00:30:53,735
That's not what we're gonna do here.
No gold teeth, none of that shit.
597
00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:55,020
Check this out.
598
00:30:55,103 --> 00:31:01,484
Mantan's New Millennium Minstrel Show
is gonna take place on a plantation.
599
00:31:01,568 --> 00:31:02,444
- No. No.
- Yes!
600
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:06,364
Okay, no, check this out. Every week...
these two Alabama porch monkeys,
601
00:31:06,448 --> 00:31:09,451
they're gonna make us laugh,
they're gonna make us cry,
602
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:11,661
they're gonna make us feel good
to be Americans.
603
00:31:11,745 --> 00:31:16,624
You know what? The Alabama porch monkey
plantation shit, that's wrong.
604
00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:19,627
Okay, let's cut it.
Let's cut it. Cut it. Cut it.
605
00:31:19,711 --> 00:31:22,148
- it should be a watermelon patch.
- That's the move.
606
00:31:22,172 --> 00:31:23,482
- What?
- I like watermelon.
607
00:31:23,506 --> 00:31:25,508
- Watermelon's good for you, too.
- Yes.
608
00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:29,012
Have you lost your mind?
Do you know how much mail we will get?
609
00:31:29,095 --> 00:31:33,558
Exactly, because there will be
nothing else like it on television!
610
00:31:33,641 --> 00:31:35,036
Now,
let me ask you a question, Mantan.
611
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:37,604
How do you feel about performing
just a little blackface?
612
00:31:37,687 --> 00:31:40,398
- See?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
613
00:31:40,482 --> 00:31:41,483
It's makeup.
614
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:43,902
- It'll lend authenticity.
- It's cool, man.
615
00:31:43,985 --> 00:31:46,863
Look, I'm black, right?
As long as the hoofin' is real.
616
00:31:46,946 --> 00:31:49,216
Motherfucker, you're light-skinned.
Are you gonna listen to what -
617
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,409
No, no, no. Sleep'n Eat,
they're just keeping it real.
618
00:31:51,493 --> 00:31:53,078
- Now check this out.
- My name is Womack.
619
00:31:53,161 --> 00:31:56,873
Can I, You want to show me
just a little something-something?
620
00:31:56,956 --> 00:31:59,167
- Can I test out the waters here?
- Yes, you may.
621
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:00,585
This is bizarre.
622
00:32:00,668 --> 00:32:03,880
Delacroix, my motherfucker, you dug deep.
623
00:32:03,963 --> 00:32:05,048
- Yes, I did.
- You -
624
00:32:05,131 --> 00:32:07,675
You, you dug deeper than deep, my man.
625
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,302
- To my loins.
- This is the shit!
626
00:32:09,385 --> 00:32:10,446
That's what I'm saying.
627
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:12,972
- Here, take my seat.
- Okay, cool.
628
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,310
How you want it?
You want it raw? Flash? You want rhythm?
629
00:32:17,393 --> 00:32:19,854
No, no, no, I want it
raw dawg without a bag, baby.
630
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:22,816
I mean, let me see you do your thing.
I mean, keep it real.
631
00:32:22,899 --> 00:32:24,234
- Wow.
- Just keep it real.
632
00:32:24,317 --> 00:32:26,402
Bust a move. Hop on up there.
633
00:32:26,486 --> 00:32:28,613
- Raw dawg without a bag.
- Raw dawg.
634
00:32:28,696 --> 00:32:29,864
Be careful, man.
635
00:33:02,647 --> 00:33:06,109
Yo! Yo, yo, yo, this kid is off the hook!
636
00:33:06,192 --> 00:33:08,444
This kid is off the hinges, yo!
637
00:33:08,528 --> 00:33:12,740
- Yes, we certainly think so.
- That's what I'm talking about!
638
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:16,077
Mantan! Yo, we're gonna get paid!
639
00:33:16,494 --> 00:33:18,389
Check this out,
I'm about to go run upstairs with this,
640
00:33:18,413 --> 00:33:20,790
because CNS doesn't have the balls
to pull the trigger,
641
00:33:20,874 --> 00:33:21,875
somebody else will.
642
00:33:22,458 --> 00:33:23,626
Yo.
643
00:33:23,710 --> 00:33:25,753
My beautiful black princess.
644
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:27,297
Delacroix!
645
00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:30,967
- Yes. Go do your little dirt.
- All right? We're in!
646
00:33:32,302 --> 00:33:33,303
Well...
647
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:36,181
I think he bought it.
648
00:33:37,807 --> 00:33:39,726
This is some bullshit.
649
00:33:39,809 --> 00:33:43,313
- The name of this shit right here...
- What's that, dawg? What's that?
650
00:33:43,396 --> 00:33:45,064
...is "Black is Black."
651
00:33:45,148 --> 00:33:47,483
It's hot. It's hot.
652
00:33:47,567 --> 00:33:51,654
Now, that's some thinking, you thinking.
That - that's some shit right there, dawg.
653
00:33:52,947 --> 00:33:54,908
- Y'all like that shit?
- Yeah.
654
00:33:54,991 --> 00:33:57,952
The name of the album is the BlackAlbum!
655
00:34:02,457 --> 00:34:04,250
That's the motherfuckin' way.
656
00:34:04,334 --> 00:34:08,171
"Black is Black"
on the fuckin'BlackAlbum.
657
00:34:09,505 --> 00:34:11,883
Yo, yo. But for real, though,
658
00:34:11,966 --> 00:34:14,552
yo, we ain't never conformed
to none of the white man's rules.
659
00:34:14,636 --> 00:34:17,639
- Fuck them. Fuck them motherfuckers.
- You know what I'm saying?
660
00:34:17,722 --> 00:34:20,558
- Later for that old slave owner Webster.
- Word.
661
00:34:20,642 --> 00:34:22,602
So I'm sayin', Big Black -
you know what I mean?
662
00:34:22,685 --> 00:34:25,730
I res - I respectively submit,
you know what I'm saying,
663
00:34:25,813 --> 00:34:28,983
that we from here on,
henceforth and whatnot,
664
00:34:29,525 --> 00:34:33,321
should spell "black" B-L-A-K.
665
00:34:33,863 --> 00:34:36,324
Not B-L-A-C-K, you know what I'm sayin'?
666
00:34:36,407 --> 00:34:39,327
- Respectfully, respectfully now.
- I'm feeling that.
667
00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:42,372
That's why you got
to keep the wisdoms around, man.
668
00:34:42,789 --> 00:34:44,290
B-L-A-K, man.
669
00:34:44,374 --> 00:34:46,876
- Blak, the opposite of white, man.
- Yeah. Yeah.
670
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,505
You know what I'm saying?
Like a member of the African community.
671
00:34:50,588 --> 00:34:54,259
So, how them gray people been tryin'
to trick us with they slickery.
672
00:34:54,759 --> 00:34:56,886
Because of their trickery.
673
00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:59,180
Yo, peep the connotations of that,
you know what I mean?
674
00:34:59,264 --> 00:35:00,265
It's, like, "black."
675
00:35:00,807 --> 00:35:02,016
Angry.
676
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:03,101
Dark.
677
00:35:03,184 --> 00:35:04,435
Sullen.
678
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:05,603
Depressed.
679
00:35:05,687 --> 00:35:06,688
Wicked.
680
00:35:06,771 --> 00:35:08,022
Blackball.
681
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:09,399
Blacklisted.
682
00:35:09,482 --> 00:35:12,277
♪ Black cat is bad luck
Badguys wearblack ♪
683
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,404
♪ Must have been a white guy
That started all that ♪
684
00:35:14,487 --> 00:35:16,990
You know what I mean?
685
00:35:17,073 --> 00:35:18,491
Mau Mau crew!
686
00:35:18,574 --> 00:35:20,702
Whoo!
687
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:23,746
I'm saying, I don't even know why they put
the "C" in there to begin with.
688
00:35:23,830 --> 00:35:26,165
Ain't even fuckin' pronounced
in that shit!
689
00:35:26,249 --> 00:35:29,085
- I love all of y'all niggas, man.
- Mau Mau crew!
690
00:35:32,171 --> 00:35:34,299
This is Mantan Moreland.
691
00:35:34,382 --> 00:35:39,595
This is one of his most popular films,
The Lucky Ghost. it was from the 1940s.
692
00:35:41,973 --> 00:35:46,144
He was such a clown.
A bit of a buffoon, but very funny.
693
00:35:46,602 --> 00:35:48,479
That ain't funny.
694
00:35:48,563 --> 00:35:49,981
Now, what is this?
695
00:35:50,857 --> 00:35:52,376
How does he make his eyes do that?
696
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:53,526
He was gifted.
697
00:35:54,444 --> 00:35:55,445
Gentlemen...
698
00:35:56,029 --> 00:35:59,407
The show, our show, is satirical.
699
00:36:00,074 --> 00:36:03,494
You know what that means?
That means we are poking fun of this.
700
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,832
Our aim is to destroy these stereotypes.
701
00:36:07,915 --> 00:36:11,669
You know what,
I've put together these two portfolios
702
00:36:12,211 --> 00:36:14,088
full of pictures and articles,
703
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:16,257
everything you need to know
about a minstrel show.
704
00:36:18,468 --> 00:36:19,886
Whoa, wait.
705
00:36:20,678 --> 00:36:24,015
Wait a minute. We - hey, we gonna need
a little more money for this.
706
00:36:24,390 --> 00:36:25,391
Come on!
707
00:36:26,351 --> 00:36:27,810
Ten Little Niggers?
708
00:36:27,894 --> 00:36:29,520
Okay, you get more money.
709
00:36:29,604 --> 00:36:31,898
Mantan in - in a chicken suit?
710
00:36:31,981 --> 00:36:33,983
Mantan!
711
00:36:34,067 --> 00:36:35,651
Come on, Mantan.
712
00:36:36,861 --> 00:36:38,863
Study this material.
713
00:36:38,946 --> 00:36:40,073
Study hard, gentlemen.
714
00:36:40,156 --> 00:36:42,742
You'll look great
in those Hillnigger jeans.
715
00:36:42,825 --> 00:36:46,120
That motherfucker crazy, man.
716
00:36:48,164 --> 00:36:50,084
The good reverend
Dr. Martin Luther King
717
00:36:50,166 --> 00:36:54,670
did not enjoy seeing his people beaten
on the six o'clock news.
718
00:36:54,754 --> 00:36:59,801
However, white America needed to see that
in order to move this country to change.
719
00:37:00,301 --> 00:37:03,554
They need to see this show
for that exact same reason.
720
00:37:08,768 --> 00:37:10,978
I'm gonna trust
you know what you're doing, Pierre.
721
00:37:12,772 --> 00:37:14,941
That's my little lamb.
722
00:37:15,024 --> 00:37:19,612
I'd like to begin this meeting
by saying that I am a fair person.
723
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:21,489
A straight shooter.
724
00:37:21,572 --> 00:37:23,241
I do not hold my tongue.
725
00:37:24,575 --> 00:37:26,160
So, I must tell you this,
726
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:29,705
that I had nothing to do
with any of you being hired.
727
00:37:30,748 --> 00:37:34,836
If I had my druthers, there'd be
at least one Negro writer in this room,
728
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:38,005
and that afro does not qualify you,
my Jewish friend.
729
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,927
Having said that,
730
00:37:43,010 --> 00:37:47,640
I would like to open the floor
to some of your questions and comments.
731
00:37:47,723 --> 00:37:48,891
Look, I agree with you.
732
00:37:48,975 --> 00:37:52,478
I think it would be better
to have some African-American writers,
733
00:37:52,562 --> 00:37:55,148
but, you know, for whatever reason,
they're not here.
734
00:37:55,231 --> 00:37:59,026
Maybe they couldn't find
any people with experience.
735
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:04,991
Or they wouldn't work for the pay,
or they refused to work on the show.
736
00:38:05,074 --> 00:38:08,744
Perhaps they couldn't put their
crack pipes down long enough to apply.
737
00:38:09,871 --> 00:38:13,207
- Pierre, I don't know -
-Mr. Delacroix. You don't know...
738
00:38:13,833 --> 00:38:17,920
Mr. Delacroix, I don't know,
and I don't think anybody here does know,
739
00:38:18,004 --> 00:38:21,716
but what I do know is that this
is going to be a unique experience.
740
00:38:21,799 --> 00:38:25,678
I am a damn good writer,
and I'm ready to go to work.
741
00:38:25,761 --> 00:38:27,763
Yeah.
742
00:38:29,807 --> 00:38:31,767
Thank you for rallying the troops, Peter.
743
00:38:31,851 --> 00:38:34,937
I've always loved the format
of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.
744
00:38:35,021 --> 00:38:37,231
"Sock it to me. Sock it to me."
745
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:39,984
Or, Pigmeat Markham.
You know, "Here come the judge."
746
00:38:42,278 --> 00:38:44,989
But, you know, I think
we should look back at those '70s shows,
747
00:38:45,072 --> 00:38:46,199
which were groundbreaking,
748
00:38:46,282 --> 00:38:48,284
you know, and I'm from Iowa,
as you all know,
749
00:38:48,367 --> 00:38:53,956
and, um, you know, my first experience
of the black - people of col - Africa,
750
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,834
is that - the shows like The Jeffersons.
751
00:38:56,918 --> 00:38:59,170
You know? And - George and Weezy!
752
00:38:59,253 --> 00:39:00,254
Weezy?
753
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:03,466
You know what's better
than The Jeffersons? Good Times.
754
00:39:03,549 --> 00:39:04,800
"Kid Dyn-o-mite!"
755
00:39:04,884 --> 00:39:06,677
Kid Dyn-o-mite!
756
00:39:06,761 --> 00:39:08,262
So their whole J: J: thing:
757
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:11,224
I think - and Delacroix
will agree with me -
758
00:39:11,307 --> 00:39:13,935
that the politics of the show
have to be right.
759
00:39:14,018 --> 00:39:16,562
The show we are doing is a minstrel show.
760
00:39:16,646 --> 00:39:21,484
Which is blackface, tap dancing,
singing, sketches:
761
00:39:21,567 --> 00:39:24,570
- You're putting white actors in blackface?
- No, no, no, my dear.
762
00:39:24,654 --> 00:39:28,741
We're using black actors
with blacker faces.
763
00:39:28,824 --> 00:39:30,511
Don't you think that people
are gonna be offended by this?
764
00:39:30,535 --> 00:39:33,246
Yes, that's good.
I want them to be offended.
765
00:39:33,329 --> 00:39:35,331
- I want to wake America up.
- Yes.
766
00:39:35,414 --> 00:39:39,252
Even though the material
will be somewhat offensive,
767
00:39:39,335 --> 00:39:43,214
there - there -
there is definitely a social message
768
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:46,926
- that we should focus on...
- Yes.
769
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:49,095
...when writing the material.
770
00:39:49,178 --> 00:39:51,180
I think we're gonna need some big stars.
771
00:39:51,264 --> 00:39:53,307
No, no, no, no, no. You see -
772
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:57,061
You're gonna have a hard time
getting a big star to wear blackface
773
00:39:57,144 --> 00:39:58,729
because they become invisible.
774
00:39:59,605 --> 00:40:04,402
So, I mean, to ask Denzel
to put on blackface is foolish.
775
00:40:04,485 --> 00:40:05,861
- You been took!
- Yeah!
776
00:40:05,945 --> 00:40:07,905
- You been hoodwinked!
- Yeah!
777
00:40:07,989 --> 00:40:09,198
Bamboozled!
778
00:40:09,282 --> 00:40:15,454
Now, I know that it may be hard for some
of you liberal-minded good white folks
779
00:40:15,538 --> 00:40:17,373
to write such offensive material,
780
00:40:17,832 --> 00:40:21,669
yet I want you
to tap into your white angst.
781
00:40:22,587 --> 00:40:26,215
I want you to go back
to the O.J. Simpson verdict.
782
00:40:27,133 --> 00:40:29,218
I want you to deal with those emotions.
783
00:40:29,302 --> 00:40:33,264
How did you feel? How did you feel
when the glove didn't fit?
784
00:40:33,347 --> 00:40:37,059
It was ridiculous. Johnnie Cochran played
the race card. The man is a murderer.
785
00:40:37,143 --> 00:40:38,894
Yeah. I - if it had been a white man...
786
00:40:38,978 --> 00:40:41,272
The mission was accomplished:
787
00:40:41,355 --> 00:40:45,067
All of these people left the room
thinking they would have realinput:
788
00:40:45,610 --> 00:40:48,112
I was writing this pilot alone:
789
00:40:48,571 --> 00:40:51,991
Myself, me, moi:
790
00:40:52,074 --> 00:40:53,117
...after the verdict.
791
00:40:53,618 --> 00:40:55,703
I want you to put yourself there,
792
00:40:55,786 --> 00:40:59,749
and this is your time
to purge all those feelings.
793
00:40:59,832 --> 00:41:02,126
- But this is a family show, right?
- Yes. Yes.
794
00:41:02,209 --> 00:41:04,920
A family show
that takes place in a watermelon patch.
795
00:41:05,004 --> 00:41:07,173
What?
796
00:41:07,256 --> 00:41:10,468
We're auditioning
for a house band for the show.
797
00:41:10,551 --> 00:41:13,763
The name of the group
is The Alabama Porch Monkeys.
798
00:41:13,846 --> 00:41:15,014
Do we have a problem,
799
00:41:15,097 --> 00:41:16,849
- any concerns with that?
- No, sir.
800
00:41:16,932 --> 00:41:20,811
Please, let us hear some of your... funk.

One small ad in Backstage
had Negroes lined up around the block:
809
00:42:12,655 --> 00:42:15,700
Were people
really this desperate to get work?
810
00:42:16,951 --> 00:42:18,619

Thank you. Thank you.
821
00:43:08,753 --> 00:43:10,546
That was great. Please -
822
00:43:10,629 --> 00:43:12,965
That was great. Fantastic!
823
00:43:13,048 --> 00:43:14,467
Thank you.
824
00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:18,554
- What is your background?
- I'm a actor. You know, I act.
825
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:21,223
What is the last thing
I might have seen you in?
826
00:43:21,307 --> 00:43:22,975
You know, I act on my job all the time.
827
00:43:23,058 --> 00:43:26,437
Can you give me a little, performance?
Some sort of...
828
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,023
Well, you know,
I do all sorts of kind of things, man.
829
00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:30,792
Whatever you need me to do.
You know, like, you -
830
00:43:30,816 --> 00:43:33,652
- I even do Shakespeare shit, you know.
- Well, do some Shakespeare.
831
00:43:34,111 --> 00:43:37,615
"To be or not to be?" You know?
"That's the motherfuckin' question."
832
00:43:39,283 --> 00:43:42,119
You know, "that is
the motherfuckin' question, "you know?
833
00:43:42,745 --> 00:43:47,082
And, well, you know, like,
in - in Hamlet - in Hamlet,
834
00:43:47,166 --> 00:43:49,627
there's this scene, you know,
where this brother was -
835
00:43:49,710 --> 00:43:53,839
Laertes was asking, you know, the king
that he wanted to go to Paris and shit.
836
00:43:53,923 --> 00:43:56,801
The king asked his daddy could he go,
and his daddy say,
837
00:43:56,884 --> 00:44:00,679
"He hath, my lord, wrung from me...
838
00:44:02,056 --> 00:44:04,433
by laborsome petition."
839
00:44:04,517 --> 00:44:07,394
Was there any more to it,
or was that what's pretty much -
840
00:44:07,478 --> 00:44:09,164
Basically he was saying
just let that motherfucker go.
841
00:44:09,188 --> 00:44:12,399
- You know? He was like, let him go.
- Okay. Right.
842
00:44:12,483 --> 00:44:14,711
I was working on this piece,
'cause I was sitting there going -
843
00:44:14,735 --> 00:44:17,446
I realized that when I was looking at it,
that...
844
00:44:18,572 --> 00:44:20,699

845
00:44:20,783 --> 00:44:22,117
And:
846
00:44:22,201 --> 00:44:23,536
Okay.
847
00:44:23,619 --> 00:44:25,871
- Write that down.
- And-You know -
848
00:44:25,955 --> 00:44:28,582

00:47:11,245 --> 00:47:13,080
Cut the fuckin' sound off.
911
00:47:13,163 --> 00:47:19,169
Needless to say,
the Mau Maus did not fit into ourplans:
912
00:47:19,962 --> 00:47:23,882
As I told Sloan,
"There's a black sheep in every family:"
913
00:47:23,966 --> 00:47:25,527
- It's frightening.
- it should be.
914
00:47:25,551 --> 00:47:30,723
I don't want anything to do
with anything black for at least a week.
915
00:47:36,937 --> 00:47:39,231
For the love of Mary and Joseph.
916
00:47:42,484 --> 00:47:45,487
I will not be held responsible
for these revisions.
917
00:47:45,571 --> 00:47:48,240
These changes are not the way
I want to go with this show.
918
00:47:48,323 --> 00:47:53,162
This is an outrage! A-A sham! A violation!
A debacle. A mockery.
919
00:47:53,245 --> 00:47:54,872
Will you just calm down, please?
920
00:47:55,414 --> 00:47:56,665
In Finland, when we get upset -
921
00:47:56,749 --> 00:48:00,169
I don't give a good goddamn
what they do in Finland, Sweden, Norway,
922
00:48:00,252 --> 00:48:03,047
or wherever the hell your young dumb
blond white ass is from.
923
00:48:03,130 --> 00:48:05,758
Hey, hey, hey. We just punched it up.
We made it funnier.
924
00:48:05,841 --> 00:48:08,510
Funnier to whom? And at whose expense?
925
00:48:09,011 --> 00:48:13,849
Mr. Dunwitty, when the Negroes run amok
and the boycotts commence,
926
00:48:13,932 --> 00:48:17,186
I'm going to personally give
the Rev. Al Sharpton your home address.
927
00:48:17,269 --> 00:48:19,063
I seriously doubt that will ever happen.
928
00:48:19,146 --> 00:48:21,273
Didn't I tell you?
I know your people better than you.
929
00:48:21,356 --> 00:48:23,442
I mean, look at all the brothers
on the wall.
930
00:48:23,525 --> 00:48:28,072
And if by some miracle,
Rev. Al "Do" Sharpton shows up at my door,
931
00:48:28,155 --> 00:48:29,948
I'll invite him in,
and we'll have a sit-down
932
00:48:30,032 --> 00:48:32,993
and discuss it like civil human beings.
933
00:48:33,077 --> 00:48:34,787
- Really?
- Really.
934
00:48:34,870 --> 00:48:35,930
Now, can you not interrupt me
935
00:48:35,954 --> 00:48:39,249
while I'm discussing the visual style
and tone of the show, please?
936
00:48:40,501 --> 00:48:41,919
What were you saying, Jukka?
937
00:48:42,002 --> 00:48:43,587
Argh!
938
00:48:50,761 --> 00:48:51,762
How y'all doin'?
939
00:48:51,845 --> 00:48:54,431
Let me hear you!
940
00:48:54,515 --> 00:48:57,476
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I love you so much.
941
00:48:57,559 --> 00:48:59,978
Whoa! I like this!
942
00:49:00,437 --> 00:49:03,357
My name is Honeycutt. Can you say that?
943
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,067
Honeycutt.
944
00:49:05,150 --> 00:49:07,903
Whenever you see me,
I'm gonna give you my greetin'.
945
00:49:07,986 --> 00:49:11,198
Ooh-whee!
946
00:49:11,281 --> 00:49:14,785
And you say, "Ooh-whah!"
947
00:49:18,122 --> 00:49:19,123
Hello, Jukka.
948
00:49:19,790 --> 00:49:22,626
- Just wanted to wish you good luck.
- Thank you very much.
949
00:49:22,709 --> 00:49:25,462
- Do a good show.
- I always try to do my best.
950
00:49:25,546 --> 00:49:27,881
As usual, I did myresearch:
951
00:49:27,965 --> 00:49:30,884
We should blacken up
like they did back in the day:
952
00:49:31,260 --> 00:49:32,761
Keep the ritual the same:
953
00:49:33,470 --> 00:49:36,181
So, poursome alcohol on the corks
and then light it:
954
00:49:36,807 --> 00:49:41,687
Let them burn to a crisp,
and when burnt out, mash them to a powder:
955
00:49:44,439 --> 00:49:45,440
Add water:
956
00:49:46,733 --> 00:49:48,360
Mix to a thickpaste:
957
00:49:49,403 --> 00:49:52,531
And voilá, you have yourblackface:
958
00:49:54,283 --> 00:49:56,869
Butplease put cocoa butter
on your face and hands
959
00:49:56,952 --> 00:49:58,162
to protectyourskin:
960
00:50:20,934 --> 00:50:22,728
And the final detail:::
961
00:50:24,646 --> 00:50:25,647
are the lips:
962
00:50:26,481 --> 00:50:28,066
The redder the lipstick, the better:
963
00:50:28,859 --> 00:50:32,529
So, I suggest Fire Truck Red:
964
00:50:37,576 --> 00:50:38,702
Show...
965
00:50:38,785 --> 00:50:40,412
...time.
966
00:50:49,463 --> 00:50:51,298
My God.
967
00:50:51,381 --> 00:50:55,260
This here's my best friend, Sleep'n Eat.
968
00:50:55,344 --> 00:50:58,764
And this here's my best friend, Mantan.
969
00:50:58,847 --> 00:51:03,810
And we are two real coons.
970
00:51:04,102 --> 00:51:07,981
We left the hustle and bustle
of uptown Harlem.
971
00:51:08,065 --> 00:51:09,358
The Big Apple.
972
00:51:09,441 --> 00:51:11,360
New York! New York!
973
00:51:11,443 --> 00:51:12,778
Skyscrapers and everything!
974
00:51:12,861 --> 00:51:14,738
To return to our roots!
975
00:51:14,821 --> 00:51:16,740
Our Alabammy home.
976
00:51:16,823 --> 00:51:19,618
That's right. We is countrified.
We is sho 'nuff bamas.
977
00:51:19,701 --> 00:51:22,204
Here come the bamas.
978
00:51:22,287 --> 00:51:24,539
No more city slickers.
979
00:51:24,998 --> 00:51:31,964
Can't you smell
that sweet aroma of high cotton
980
00:51:32,047 --> 00:51:34,174
and ripe watermelon?
981
00:51:34,258 --> 00:51:36,468
Nigga, now don't you get me to sniffin'.
982
00:51:37,970 --> 00:51:40,847
Now, why don't you show us
some of them there educated feets?
983
00:51:43,725 --> 00:51:47,396
Cousins!
First, second, third, and distant.
984
00:51:47,479 --> 00:51:50,565
Why don't you let Mantan
take you back to a simpler time?
985
00:51:50,649 --> 00:51:53,902
- A time when men was men...
- Yeah.
986
00:51:53,986 --> 00:51:55,672
- ...and women were women...
- Yeah.
987
00:51:55,696 --> 00:51:57,906
...and nigras knew they place.
988
00:51:59,616 --> 00:52:01,493
Yeah.
989
00:52:01,576 --> 00:52:04,788
Cousins! I want you all
to go to your windows.
990
00:52:04,871 --> 00:52:07,541
- Open 'em up.
- Go to your windows and yell out,
991
00:52:07,624 --> 00:52:09,793
"I'm tired of the drugs!"
992
00:52:09,876 --> 00:52:12,629
I'm tired of the crack babies
993
00:52:12,713 --> 00:52:17,092
born out of wedlock
to crackhead AID-infested parents!
994
00:52:17,175 --> 00:52:21,013
I'm tired of the inflated welfare rolls
995
00:52:21,096 --> 00:52:26,476
while good wholesome Americans
bring less and less of their paycheck home
996
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,145
"every two weeks."
997
00:52:28,228 --> 00:52:29,354
And that's a long time too.
998
00:52:29,438 --> 00:52:31,857
I'm tired. You're tired.
999
00:52:31,940 --> 00:52:37,195
We're all tired of all these so-called,
Bible-thumpin'...
1000
00:52:37,279 --> 00:52:39,031

...God-fearin'...
1002
00:52:40,365 --> 00:52:41,658
GP, are you with me?
1003
00:52:41,742 --> 00:52:45,996
...whore-mongling professional athletes.
1004
00:52:46,079 --> 00:52:48,623
You's a fine motherfucker, baby.
Back that ass up.
1005
00:52:48,707 --> 00:52:51,001
Cousins, I want you to go to your windows.
1006
00:52:51,084 --> 00:52:54,713
Yell out!
Scream with all the life you can muster up
1007
00:52:54,796 --> 00:52:57,883
inside your bruised and battered,
assaulted bodies,
1008
00:52:57,966 --> 00:53:02,888
"I'm sick and tired of niggers,
and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"
1009
00:53:02,971 --> 00:53:04,731
That boy something else.
1010
00:53:04,806 --> 00:53:05,932
Once he get to talkin', he -
1011
00:53:08,143 --> 00:53:10,479
Lord, have mercy. He done did it again!
1012
00:53:11,146 --> 00:53:13,124
Well, let me get him on up, now
I got something for him.
1013
00:53:13,148 --> 00:53:15,567
Watch this. Kinda like a magic trick.
1014
00:53:16,234 --> 00:53:18,737
Gotta do my watermelon patch.
Gotta do the running man.
1015
00:53:19,321 --> 00:53:21,656
Gotta do the running slave.
Now, watch this.
1016
00:53:24,242 --> 00:53:26,078
Doctor don't know nothing about these.
1017
00:53:26,161 --> 00:53:27,746
Here I go.
1018
00:53:27,829 --> 00:53:29,748
♪ Do-o-own ♪
1019
00:53:32,959 --> 00:53:33,960

Come on. I'm rubbing a genie's lamp.
Come on, it's emergency situation.
1021
00:53:37,214 --> 00:53:38,507
It's emergency - Clear!
1022
00:53:39,633 --> 00:53:42,511
Them nigger apples work
every goddamn time.
1023
00:53:43,845 --> 00:53:45,847
Come on, boy!
Let's do this here.
1024
00:53:45,931 --> 00:53:47,516
You lucky we ain't in a jailhouse.
1025
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:50,479
I'd be like Captain Kirk of the Enterprise
going into the big black hole!
1026
00:53:51,103 --> 00:53:53,438
Give me one. Hut one! Hut, ...

Man, shit, just hut!

Here we go, now. I'm running too you.
1029
00:54:04,032 --> 00:54:05,700
Any pretty niggers in the house?
1030
00:54:05,784 --> 00:54:08,036
- Yes!
- Come on out!
1031
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,625
Ey!
1032
00:55:26,323 --> 00:55:28,825
All right?
1033
00:55:41,838 --> 00:55:44,382
Bravo!
1034
00:55:50,305 --> 00:55:51,306
Yeah!
1035
00:56:12,869 --> 00:56:14,454
- Hello.
- Yo, Dela!
1036
00:56:15,705 --> 00:56:19,334
Yo! I just got the news from the CNS brass
that was at the taping.
1037
00:56:19,417 --> 00:56:20,752
Yo, they loved the pilot.
1038
00:56:20,835 --> 00:56:23,505
Yo, we're a mid-season replacement.
They ordered 12 shows.
1039
00:56:23,588 --> 00:56:25,799
We're going to be on the air
in three weeks.
1040
00:56:26,424 --> 00:56:27,425
Yo?
1041
00:56:27,801 --> 00:56:30,971
Dela, did you hear what I just said?
They didn't even view a rough cut.
1042
00:56:31,054 --> 00:56:33,449
They just looked at a couple of scenes
we quickly put together.
1043
00:56:33,473 --> 00:56:34,975
They were sweating us, man.
1044
00:56:35,058 --> 00:56:37,352
But there must be some sort of mistake.
1045
00:56:37,435 --> 00:56:40,313
Only mistake is I didn't believe
in your genius from the get-go,
1046
00:56:40,397 --> 00:56:42,983
from jump street.
Dela, you are the man, bro.
1047
00:56:46,111 --> 00:56:48,363
Please, hold a second.
I have to take this call.
1048
00:56:49,948 --> 00:56:51,616
- Hello.
- Peerless?
1049
00:56:52,158 --> 00:56:53,159
Hi, Mom.
1050
00:56:53,994 --> 00:56:56,538
Could you hold the line a sec?
I have to get rid of this other -
1051
00:56:56,621 --> 00:57:00,041
Yeah, Mr. Dunwitty, it's my mom.
1052
00:57:00,125 --> 00:57:01,710
L-I really have to take this.
1053
00:57:01,793 --> 00:57:03,753
Your mama?
Hey, I want to meet her someday.
1054
00:57:03,837 --> 00:57:07,424
Tell her about the great news, man.
Yo. I'm out like Vanilla lce.
1055
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,320
Peerless:
1056
00:57:10,385 --> 00:57:12,596
- Mom.
- Your daddy called:
1057
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:14,472
He wants you to come and see him:
1058
00:57:18,184 --> 00:57:20,871
See, theygot all this controversy
in Hollywood about black films
1059
00:57:20,895 --> 00:57:24,316
with all this stuffabout black folks,
are there enough of them on TV?
1060
00:57:24,399 --> 00:57:26,735
Well, we know we're on the news:
We all over the news:
1061
00:57:27,277 --> 00:57:28,695
My favorite black showis Cops:
1062
00:57:28,778 --> 00:57:31,823
You know we're on that too:
1063
00:57:31,906 --> 00:57:35,327
And I can't watch all that stuff,
that WB - We Be Black:
1064
00:57:36,202 --> 00:57:38,079
Little nigger frog look like Quincy Jones:
1065
00:57:38,163 --> 00:57:40,749
I can't watch all that:
1066
00:57:40,832 --> 00:57:43,752
UPN - You Pick a Nigger,
any nigger you want.
1067
00:57:45,670 --> 00:57:48,882
But I have to confess, I love me some
Jerry Springer. I love Jerry Springer.
1068
00:57:48,965 --> 00:57:50,133
- Aw.
- Love him!
1069
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,177
It's the all-American show.
1070
00:57:52,886 --> 00:57:56,556
Where else can you see three white women
fight over a nigger with one tooth?
1071
00:58:01,853 --> 00:58:03,521
And no job.
1072
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:06,858
And speaks fluent Ebonics.
1073
00:58:06,941 --> 00:58:08,652
"Reggie, how come you got three women?"
1074
00:58:08,735 --> 00:58:10,695
"They like dick, Jerry.
Jerry, they like dick."
1075
00:58:10,779 --> 00:58:12,947
"Yeah, your mama like dick?"
1076
00:58:14,115 --> 00:58:17,619
I wrote a movie. I sold my movie
to the studio. I'm real excited about it.
1077
00:58:18,244 --> 00:58:21,539
The Last White Man on Earth.
1078
00:58:21,623 --> 00:58:24,459
Don't look for a sequel. We catch him.
1079
00:58:28,088 --> 00:58:31,800
Starring Diana Ross and Whoopi Goldberg.
1080
00:58:31,883 --> 00:58:33,343
We beat them for about five minutes.
1081
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:35,845
"Where is he? Where is he?
We saw you with him. Where is he?"
1082
00:58:38,932 --> 00:58:41,851
And have you noticed
that everybody white wanna be black?
1083
00:58:42,477 --> 00:58:43,937
White folks wanna be black folks.
1084
00:58:44,020 --> 00:58:47,107
I went to school with white people.
Their lips weren't that big.
1085
00:58:47,190 --> 00:58:49,543
They get stuff in their lips.
They take it out their behind.
1086
00:58:49,567 --> 00:58:51,653
They just do anything
to get big nigger lips.
1087
00:58:51,736 --> 00:58:54,906
Black people been killed on the highway.
They come by, "I'll take these."
1088
00:58:58,493 --> 00:59:00,620
The lips so big,
the little kids look adopted.
1089
00:59:02,539 --> 00:59:06,501
Everybody wanna be black,
but nobody wanna be black. it confuses me.
1090
00:59:07,168 --> 00:59:08,920
They all act black, sound black.
1091
00:59:09,254 --> 00:59:12,424
I hope they start hanging niggers again.
I'm going to find out who's black.
1092
00:59:13,883 --> 00:59:15,927
Tell you some street jokes.
I love street jokes.
1093
00:59:16,010 --> 00:59:19,055
You can tell one of yours.
I love street jokes. They're the funniest.
1094
00:59:19,139 --> 00:59:21,641
Ain't they the funniest?
1095
00:59:25,019 --> 00:59:26,896
A nigger escaped from a crazy house.
1096
00:59:28,523 --> 00:59:31,443
That's already scary.
1097
00:59:32,986 --> 00:59:36,197
And ran - and ran to where the nuns live.
1098
00:59:36,281 --> 00:59:39,159
There was Sister Mary,
Sister Jane, and Mother Theresa.
1099
00:59:39,743 --> 00:59:41,244
He went in there buck-naked,
1100
00:59:41,661 --> 00:59:44,164
and had the biggest, thickest,
longest penis you ever seen.
1101
00:59:44,247 --> 00:59:45,248
They was all scared.
1102
00:59:45,665 --> 00:59:48,793
So, Sister Mary wanted
to protect Mother Theresa.
1103
00:59:48,877 --> 00:59:50,813
- She grabbed a butcher knife.
- Yeah.
1104
00:59:50,837 --> 00:59:53,256
"Mother Theresa, where do you want me
to start cutting?"
1105
00:59:53,882 --> 00:59:56,843
Mother Theresa said, "Here and here."
1106
01:00:00,805 --> 01:00:02,515
You know that shit is funny.
1107
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,977
- Who is it?
- Peerless.
1108
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:08,646
That's my son at the door.
1109
01:00:10,774 --> 01:00:12,817
Yeah! Hey.
1110
01:00:13,109 --> 01:00:15,111
- How are you doing?
- Looking good!
1111
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,490
Good to see you! Good to see you!
Looking good, son.
1112
01:00:18,573 --> 01:00:21,034
You look dandy
in that orange ensemble.
1113
01:00:21,117 --> 01:00:22,118
Have a seat, son.
1114
01:00:25,622 --> 01:00:27,457
- You were hilarious.
- Thank you.
1115
01:00:27,540 --> 01:00:29,626
Absolutely hilarious.
1116
01:00:29,709 --> 01:00:30,710
It was a good show.
1117
01:00:31,419 --> 01:00:34,839
- Yeah - Dot, get my son a drink.
- Sure thing, baby.
1118
01:00:34,923 --> 01:00:37,675
I always enjoy seeing you perform.
1119
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,346
Good. Good. I - I try.
1120
01:00:42,180 --> 01:00:44,724
You do more than try. You succeed.
1121
01:00:46,768 --> 01:00:49,062
- I hope this all right for you.
- It's perfect. Thank you.
1122
01:00:49,145 --> 01:00:50,438
- Okay. You're welcome.
- Cheers.
1123
01:00:50,522 --> 01:00:51,523
Cheers.
1124
01:00:52,190 --> 01:00:54,984
Guess I'd better leave
y'all two alone. Right?
1125
01:00:55,068 --> 01:00:57,612
It was a good show tonight.
Give me some sugar.
1126
01:00:57,695 --> 01:00:59,739
- I love you, baby.
- I love you too.
1127
01:00:59,823 --> 01:01:01,157
I'm so proud of you.
1128
01:01:02,242 --> 01:01:04,661
Right.
1129
01:01:07,789 --> 01:01:09,833
That's a good woman. Good woman.
1130
01:01:10,375 --> 01:01:12,710
- How did you end up here?
- I got too much pride.
1131
01:01:13,336 --> 01:01:16,047
Too much, dignity...
1132
01:01:16,881 --> 01:01:17,882
integrity...
1133
01:01:18,967 --> 01:01:20,844
I can't do that Hollywood stuff, man.
1134
01:01:20,927 --> 01:01:23,012
I can't say
that stuff they want me to say.
1135
01:01:23,721 --> 01:01:26,432
There's got to be
something more than that. I mean...
1136
01:01:27,433 --> 01:01:30,270
Reality. I mean,
maybe you weren't funny enough.
1137
01:01:32,355 --> 01:01:33,690
You must be crazy, man.
1138
01:01:34,482 --> 01:01:37,443
Didn't you hear that audience tonight?
They were with me.
1139
01:01:38,820 --> 01:01:41,739
They were with me,
laughing with me. They got me.
1140
01:01:41,823 --> 01:01:43,867
I'm funny as hell, okay?
1141
01:01:43,950 --> 01:01:47,370
- What - what you up to?
- Trying to get my stuff on the air.
1142
01:01:48,830 --> 01:01:50,415
Where do you go from here?
1143
01:01:52,208 --> 01:01:54,878
South Carolina.
Another little nigger club.
1144
01:01:54,961 --> 01:01:56,796
No, I meant in life. Where do you go?
1145
01:01:57,422 --> 01:01:58,423
In life?
1146
01:01:59,007 --> 01:02:03,720
I'm happy. Got me a pretty woman.
Got a little money in my pocket.
1147
01:02:05,847 --> 01:02:07,223
Got me some tonic.
1148
01:02:07,307 --> 01:02:09,392
I'm aboveground. I'm ahead of the game.
1149
01:02:10,393 --> 01:02:14,564
And you know what I always taught you.
Every nigger is an entertainer.
1150
01:02:17,358 --> 01:02:18,359
The question is...
1151
01:02:19,152 --> 01:02:20,904
what are you going to do, Peerless?
1152
01:02:20,987 --> 01:02:22,280
And one more thing.
1153
01:02:23,448 --> 01:02:26,117
Nigger, where the fuck
did you get that accent?
1154
01:02:30,163 --> 01:02:32,582
Why do you always use
that word "nigger" so much?
1155
01:02:33,958 --> 01:02:37,879
I say "nigger"...
a hundred times every morning.
1156
01:02:37,962 --> 01:02:39,672
Keeps my teeth white.
1157
01:02:40,423 --> 01:02:41,799
Come on, Junebug.
1158
01:02:41,883 --> 01:02:43,468
My father:
1159
01:02:43,551 --> 01:02:46,179
I'm not mad at him: Not at all:
1160
01:02:46,262 --> 01:02:48,806
...or the stock market crash.
Black Monday.
1161
01:02:48,890 --> 01:02:50,516
Junebug was the reason
1162
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,936
I hadgotten into this business
in the firstplace:
1163
01:02:53,019 --> 01:02:56,356
You hear white folks all the time -
"It was the darkest day of my life."
1164
01:02:56,439 --> 01:02:57,774
When they faint - "I blacked out."
1165
01:02:57,857 --> 01:02:59,585
"I don't remember anything."
1166
01:02:59,609 --> 01:03:01,819
And I thank him for that:
1167
01:03:01,903 --> 01:03:05,907
However, it did me no good
seeing him in that state:
1168
01:03:06,449 --> 01:03:07,700
Father was a broken man:
1169
01:03:07,784 --> 01:03:10,870
::: we broke orlose ourmoney,
"It was the whitest day ofmylife:"
1170
01:03:11,579 --> 01:03:13,289
He had been a strong man:
1171
01:03:13,623 --> 01:03:17,669
With conviction, integrity, principles:
1172
01:03:18,294 --> 01:03:20,505
And look where it hadgotten him:
1173
01:03:20,588 --> 01:03:23,132
Even the cartoons are racist.
Have you noticed that?
1174
01:03:23,216 --> 01:03:25,760
Why do they treat us like that?
1175
01:03:26,302 --> 01:03:31,599
I had to ask myself,
did I want to end up where he was?
1176
01:03:31,683 --> 01:03:33,017
Laughing andgrinning:::
1177
01:03:33,101 --> 01:03:35,603
Hell, emphatically, no:
1178
01:03:36,729 --> 01:03:38,856
Broke
and the happiestpeople on the planet:
1179
01:03:39,399 --> 01:03:43,069
That was the last time
I eversaw Junebug:
1180
01:03:43,152 --> 01:03:44,153
A damn shame:
1181
01:03:44,237 --> 01:03:45,571
Remember, son...
1182
01:03:46,906 --> 01:03:49,242
Always keep 'em laughing.
1183
01:03:49,575 --> 01:03:51,077
Keep 'em laughing.
1184
01:03:57,291 --> 01:04:00,044
- Everybody say, "Ho!"- Ho!
1185
01:04:00,128 --> 01:04:02,213
- Say, "Ho, ho!"- Ho, ho!
1186
01:04:02,296 --> 01:04:04,549
- Say, "Ho, ho, ho!"- Ho, ho, ho!
1187
01:04:07,927 --> 01:04:09,989
We're doing something
a bit different tonight:
1188
01:04:10,013 --> 01:04:11,782
- Can you help a brother out?- Yeah:
1189
01:04:11,806 --> 01:04:13,850
- Can you do this, folks?
- Yeah:
1190
01:04:13,933 --> 01:04:16,352
We're going to chant,
and I'm gonna start it off
1191
01:04:16,436 --> 01:04:17,603
The chantgoes like this,
1192
01:04:18,271 --> 01:04:20,273
"Let's go, niggers:"
1193
01:04:21,190 --> 01:04:27,989
Let's go, niggers:
1194
01:04:29,032 --> 01:04:35,705
Let's go, niggers:::
1195
01:04:35,788 --> 01:04:40,209
Let's welcome to the stage two real coons!
1196
01:04:41,085 --> 01:04:43,171
The Dusty Duo,
1197
01:04:43,254 --> 01:04:49,385
Mantan and his sepia sidekick,
Sleep'n Eat!
1198
01:04:50,803 --> 01:04:52,597
Showtime.
1199
01:05:06,778 --> 01:05:08,029
- Go, now.
- Okay, come on.
1200
01:05:08,112 --> 01:05:09,238
Slow down, boy.
1201
01:05:09,781 --> 01:05:11,824
He ain't here. Come on.
1202
01:05:11,908 --> 01:05:13,951
Gonna get us some of these here chickens.
1203
01:05:14,035 --> 01:05:15,995
Shh.
1204
01:05:16,412 --> 01:05:19,749
Ooh, boy,
I can taste me a wing now. Hee-hee-hee.
1205
01:05:22,293 --> 01:05:24,128
Look at that there.
1206
01:05:24,212 --> 01:05:28,007
Corn bread, biscuits,
red bean and rice.
1207
01:05:28,091 --> 01:05:30,551
- What you talking about, man?
- I'm talking about my wish list.
1208
01:05:30,635 --> 01:05:33,262
Man, our massa's gonna wish...
1209
01:05:33,346 --> 01:05:36,265
Looky here. You know my lady Lucindy?
1210
01:05:36,349 --> 01:05:39,018
- You mean the one with the big -
-No, no. Not her.
1211
01:05:39,102 --> 01:05:40,436
The one with the little...
1212
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,146
- Her.
- Yes.
1213
01:05:42,230 --> 01:05:44,398
You see, tomorrow's her birthday,
1214
01:05:44,482 --> 01:05:46,710
and I want to get her something
really nice, like one of those -
1215
01:05:46,734 --> 01:05:48,694
No, don't get her one of those.
1216
01:05:48,778 --> 01:05:51,906
- What you need to do is get one of them -
-No. Now, she hates them.
1217
01:05:51,989 --> 01:05:54,367
That's too bad.
1218
01:05:54,450 --> 01:05:55,785
Why don't you get her a dress?
1219
01:05:55,868 --> 01:05:59,956
You mean, like, one of those sexy,
slinky, foxy ones with the -
1220
01:06:00,039 --> 01:06:01,332
They're too short.
1221
01:06:01,707 --> 01:06:03,727
And too tight. What you need to do
is get her one of them -
1222
01:06:03,751 --> 01:06:07,046
No. Now, that's too big.
You know, the in-between kind.
1223
01:06:07,130 --> 01:06:11,134
- Not too loose, not too tight.
- Now, that's perfect, there.
1224
01:06:11,217 --> 01:06:13,344
You know, that dress
is gonna cost you around -
1225
01:06:13,427 --> 01:06:15,972
No. Now, that's too much money.
I can't afford it.
1226
01:06:16,055 --> 01:06:17,682
I needs me a dress that's gonna cost -
1227
01:06:17,765 --> 01:06:19,016
Can't get it that cheap.
1228
01:06:20,268 --> 01:06:23,980
So I'll get a less expensive dress.
Save some money. Take her out to dinner.
1229
01:06:24,063 --> 01:06:26,065
Boy, you getting fancy now!
1230
01:06:27,316 --> 01:06:28,877
Why don't I come over
and we get a double date?
1231
01:06:28,901 --> 01:06:31,154
No, man. I heard your lady is wild.
1232
01:06:31,237 --> 01:06:34,133
No, no. No, that was her second cousin,
the one that's married to Lil' Bit.
1233
01:06:34,157 --> 01:06:39,036
Well, because, you know,
on our first date, she let me...
1234
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,122
- That bitch didn't!
- Ooh!
1235
01:06:41,205 --> 01:06:42,957
Yes, she did.
1236
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,001
I heard differently.
I heard that your monkey ass
1237
01:06:45,084 --> 01:06:47,062
- went up in there and you -
-No, no, no, no, no.
1238
01:06:47,086 --> 01:06:48,796
No, no, no. Not - not that time.
1239
01:06:49,672 --> 01:06:52,425
- What time you going -
-Hey, well, let's say around...
1240
01:06:52,508 --> 01:06:54,594
- That's too early.
- Well, how's about...
1241
01:06:54,677 --> 01:06:56,262
Well, man, that's too late.
1242
01:06:57,054 --> 01:06:59,599
-Why don't you pick us up around -
-Now, that's perfect.
1243
01:07:02,977 --> 01:07:04,770
Please.
1244
01:07:04,854 --> 01:07:08,774
- Now, you see, that's why we get along.
- Like...
1245
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,366
Now, let's go get us
some of them little chickens.
1246
01:07:17,450 --> 01:07:19,577
Hey! Who goes in there?
1247
01:07:19,660 --> 01:07:22,038
Good God, the goo - That -
We better hide.
1248
01:07:22,121 --> 01:07:23,247
Ooh, gosh!
1249
01:07:23,789 --> 01:07:26,626
It's that mean, evil overseer!
1250
01:07:26,709 --> 01:07:28,044
Master Charlie!
1251
01:07:28,127 --> 01:07:31,547
I say! I say, who goes in there?
1252
01:07:31,631 --> 01:07:34,133
Ain't nobody in here
except us chickens!
1253
01:07:37,470 --> 01:07:38,930
Ha!
1254
01:07:40,473 --> 01:07:43,017
Let's go now!

get a chance to view Mantan:

01:08:06,916 --> 01:08:10,670
I was feeling
a little like Dr: Frankenstein:

01:11:20,401 --> 01:11:23,779
She's the best media consultant
in the biz. She's going to help us out.
1329
01:11:23,863 --> 01:11:26,782
Okay. First of all,
I would like to say I love your show.
1330
01:11:26,866 --> 01:11:28,826
It's very courageous.
1331
01:11:28,909 --> 01:11:32,121
You know, my parents marched
in Selma, Alabama, with Dr. King.
1332
01:11:32,204 --> 01:11:34,415
- Why are you here?
- Good question.
1333
01:11:34,498 --> 01:11:36,876
Straight to the point. I like your style.
1334
01:11:36,959 --> 01:11:39,712
Because of the content of the show,
1335
01:11:40,004 --> 01:11:42,256
we're going to expect
some very spirited reactions.
1336
01:11:42,339 --> 01:11:44,049
Myrna's here just to plan our strategy.
1337
01:11:44,133 --> 01:11:45,426
- Just in case.
- Right.
1338
01:11:45,509 --> 01:11:47,344
The best defense is offense.
1339
01:11:47,428 --> 01:11:49,197
Really? I thought it was
the other way around.
1340
01:11:49,221 --> 01:11:51,891
Exactly. Okay, I think
we're on the same page.
1341
01:11:52,224 --> 01:11:55,936
Now, I've mapped out some strategies
that are gonna help bolster our position.
1342
01:11:56,020 --> 01:11:58,606
- Which is?
- Lighten up, man. Right?
1343
01:11:58,898 --> 01:12:02,651
This is about fun. Right?
Nice, wholesome fun.
1344
01:12:02,735 --> 01:12:07,156
- Myrna, break it down for them.
- Okay. The Mantan Manifesto.
1345
01:12:07,239 --> 01:12:08,991
- Catchy, ain't it?
- So is syphilis.
1346
01:12:11,243 --> 01:12:12,244
Number one.
1347
01:12:12,661 --> 01:12:17,124
We gainfully employ African-Americans
in front of and behind the camera.
1348
01:12:17,208 --> 01:12:19,418
You gotta cover yourselves, people.
Very important.
1349
01:12:19,502 --> 01:12:24,048
I'm talking - I need a black grip,
a black gaffer, a black PA.
1350
01:12:24,131 --> 01:12:25,132
Have them there.
1351
01:12:25,216 --> 01:12:28,385
Number two. Let the audience decide.
1352
01:12:28,761 --> 01:12:31,263
Three. Who put these critics
in charge anyway, right?
1353
01:12:31,347 --> 01:12:34,058
- Right.
- These so-called cultural police?
1354
01:12:34,433 --> 01:12:37,102
Four. Who determines what is black?
1355
01:12:37,186 --> 01:12:38,354
Yeah, what is black?
1356
01:12:38,437 --> 01:12:42,608
Yes. Okay? Sleep'n Eat and Mantan
are lazy and unemployed,
1357
01:12:42,691 --> 01:12:44,568
but we are certainly not saying anything
1358
01:12:44,652 --> 01:12:47,238
about the entire
African-American community.
1359
01:12:47,321 --> 01:12:48,781
- They're slackers.
- Slackers.
1360
01:12:48,864 --> 01:12:50,908
I took a couple of years
after graduate school
1361
01:12:50,991 --> 01:12:52,868
and walked around
the European countryside.
1362
01:12:52,952 --> 01:12:54,512
It's not the biggest deal in the world.
1363
01:12:54,578 --> 01:12:57,581
Five. Mantan is a satire.
1364
01:12:58,082 --> 01:13:01,627
Six. if they can't take a joke,
you know what? Eff 'em.
1365
01:13:01,710 --> 01:13:02,711
Yeah. Eff 'em.
1366
01:13:03,170 --> 01:13:05,256
I think that if we stick
to this kind of strategy,
1367
01:13:05,339 --> 01:13:07,216
I mean, it's clean sailing from here?
1368
01:13:07,299 --> 01:13:10,386
No disrespect,
but, this is some bullshit.
1369
01:13:10,844 --> 01:13:12,137
Well, I've done my research.
1370
01:13:12,221 --> 01:13:14,848
These are Negroes we are talking about.
1371
01:13:15,516 --> 01:13:17,726
Not some lab mice in a cage.
1372
01:13:17,810 --> 01:13:20,646
We are not one monolithic group of people.
1373
01:13:20,729 --> 01:13:25,985
We do not all think, look and act alike,
Ms. Goldfarb.
1374
01:13:26,068 --> 01:13:27,611
Mr. Delacroix, let me assure you,
1375
01:13:27,695 --> 01:13:30,489
I got my PhD
in African-American studies from Yale.
1376
01:13:30,573 --> 01:13:34,285
- So, you fucked a Negro in college. And?
- Hey. Excuse me.
1377
01:13:34,368 --> 01:13:38,080
Excuse me! Let's keep this
above the belt. Okay?
1378
01:13:38,497 --> 01:13:40,374
Show a little respect for this woman.
1379
01:13:40,457 --> 01:13:43,252
Yes. Yes. Continue, O Great Niggerologist.
1380
01:13:43,961 --> 01:13:46,422
- Enlighten us.
- I'm sorry, Myrna.
1381
01:13:46,505 --> 01:13:50,050
The biggest thing in public relations
is, of course, to always smile.
1382
01:13:50,134 --> 01:13:51,594
Show them pearly whites.
1383
01:13:52,261 --> 01:13:54,346
Okay? Wear kente cloth.
1384
01:13:54,430 --> 01:13:58,142
Um, invoke the spirit
of Dr. Martin Luther King.
1385
01:13:58,517 --> 01:14:02,062
You know, use the word "community" often
when talking about Mantan.
1386
01:14:02,146 --> 01:14:03,939
And, finally, our biggest asset is you,
1387
01:14:04,023 --> 01:14:06,191
- Pierre Delacroix.
- Me?
1388
01:14:06,275 --> 01:14:07,860
- Yes, you.
- Me?
1389
01:14:07,943 --> 01:14:09,653
- Yes, you.
- How?
1390
01:14:09,737 --> 01:14:13,657
Well, you see, this show was created
and conceived by you, right?
1391
01:14:13,741 --> 01:14:16,535
A non-threatening African-American male.
1392
01:14:17,077 --> 01:14:20,164
So, the show can't be racist
because you're black.
1393
01:14:20,247 --> 01:14:23,250
Now, see, that's where you're wrong.
He's not black.
1394
01:14:23,334 --> 01:14:25,711
No, see, he's a Negro.
1395
01:14:27,212 --> 01:14:29,131
Well, you have your small victory.
1396
01:14:29,214 --> 01:14:31,091
Pierre, yassa, man!
1397
01:14:31,175 --> 01:14:32,509
A small victory, is it?
1398
01:14:32,593 --> 01:14:34,720
- Right on, man.
- Yeah, great show!
1399
01:14:34,803 --> 01:14:37,556
That's small
when you've been used to losing.
1400
01:14:37,973 --> 01:14:39,350
Hey, hey, Delacroix.
1401
01:14:39,725 --> 01:14:42,102
Funny show, man. Funny show.
1402
01:14:42,603 --> 01:14:43,687
And what is this?
1403
01:14:44,730 --> 01:14:45,939
It's a gift.
1404
01:14:46,398 --> 01:14:48,317
For what, pray tell?
1405
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:52,613
Well, despite how I may feel
about the show personally,
1406
01:14:52,905 --> 01:14:56,450
you did come up
with something, let's say, unique.
1407
01:14:56,533 --> 01:14:57,868
Unique?
1408
01:14:58,952 --> 01:15:00,037
Why don't you open it?
1409
01:15:07,002 --> 01:15:08,003
Watch this.
1410
01:15:16,512 --> 01:15:18,806
And, what do we call this thing?
1411
01:15:18,889 --> 01:15:21,100
It is called a Jolly Nigger Bank.
1412
01:15:21,433 --> 01:15:22,685
Ain't that something?
1413
01:15:23,060 --> 01:15:24,353
And it's not a repro.
1414
01:15:25,145 --> 01:15:27,022
It's circa turn of the century.
1415
01:15:27,690 --> 01:15:30,651
- Thank you, I guess.
- I thought it was appropriate.
1416
01:15:31,485 --> 01:15:32,861
And is that good or bad?
1417
01:15:32,945 --> 01:15:36,824
Well, got a brand-new successful show,
so you'll be going to the bank.
1418
01:15:36,907 --> 01:15:37,908
Plus...
1419
01:15:38,784 --> 01:15:41,662
- I love these black collectibles.
- Really? How so?
1420
01:15:41,745 --> 01:15:45,666
It reminds me of a time in our history,
in this country, when...
1421
01:15:46,667 --> 01:15:49,420
we were considered inferior...
1422
01:15:50,713 --> 01:15:51,714
subhuman,
1423
01:15:52,548 --> 01:15:53,799
and we should never forget.
1424
01:15:53,882 --> 01:15:55,050
Why don't you try, Pierre?
1425
01:15:56,719 --> 01:15:59,096
Yes, why don't I give it a whirl?
1426
01:16:03,434 --> 01:16:06,395
- It's something, ain't it?
- It's something, all right.
1427
01:16:13,861 --> 01:16:16,548
When American people
want something, they want it now:
1428
01:16:16,572 --> 01:16:18,240
They want it big:
1429
01:16:18,323 --> 01:16:21,785
They wanted the Hula-Hoop:
They wanted theiryo-yos:
1430
01:16:21,869 --> 01:16:25,789
Who could ever forget
those lovable Pet Rocks?
1431
01:16:25,873 --> 01:16:26,915
Beanie Babies:
1432
01:16:26,999 --> 01:16:28,333
Pokémon:
1433
01:16:28,417 --> 01:16:34,131
Now, the latest, hottest, newest sensation
across the nation was blackface!
1434
01:16:34,214 --> 01:16:36,216
Trick or treat!
1435
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:37,801
Blackface!
1436
01:16:37,885 --> 01:16:40,512
Trick or treat!
1437
01:16:40,596 --> 01:16:42,848
Welcome back to lmhotep Gary Byrd's GBE
1438
01:16:42,931 --> 01:16:46,518
from 1190 Talk Radio WLIB
in New York City.
1439
01:16:46,602 --> 01:16:49,396
Our special guest today
is Pierre Delacroix.
1440
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:53,817
He is the creator of the highly
controversial TV show Mantan.
1441
01:16:53,901 --> 01:16:55,541
Pierre, we welcome you to the Experience.
1442
01:16:55,569 --> 01:16:57,946
It's good to experience
the Experience, Gary.
1443
01:16:58,030 --> 01:17:00,991
Yourshowhas created
a pretty strong, impression
1444
01:17:01,074 --> 01:17:06,121
in the community: You have been called
a traitor, an Uncle Tom, a sellout:
1445
01:17:06,580 --> 01:17:10,209
You've even been called
the Clarence Thomas oftelevision:
1446
01:17:10,292 --> 01:17:11,436
It's nice to be hyphenated.
1447
01:17:11,460 --> 01:17:14,588
Well, why does your show
cause such an emotional reaction?
1448
01:17:14,671 --> 01:17:16,715
Well, I think it's race.
1449
01:17:16,799 --> 01:17:20,844
Race has always been
a very sensitive issue in this country.
1450
01:17:20,928 --> 01:17:24,890
I have no problem
with people disagreeing with my show:
1451
01:17:25,516 --> 01:17:26,517
That's fine:
1452
01:17:27,100 --> 01:17:32,231
But when they trample
myinherent right as an artist,
1453
01:17:33,065 --> 01:17:34,274
I catch afire.
1454
01:17:34,358 --> 01:17:38,529
Why is every hit Negro show criticized?
1455
01:17:38,612 --> 01:17:42,199
Like crabs in a barrel,
they pull each other down.
1456
01:17:42,282 --> 01:17:47,037
No one, in any way, shape or form,
should be censored.
1457
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:48,914
Do you believe that that's true
1458
01:17:48,997 --> 01:17:54,419
regardless ofwhether the material
is racist, orsexist, or even homophobic?
1459
01:17:54,503 --> 01:17:55,921
I sayyes:
1460
01:17:56,463 --> 01:17:58,465
Because who is to judge?
1461
01:17:58,549 --> 01:18:03,011
Who is to stand
and say this is right or this is not?
1462
01:18:03,762 --> 01:18:05,305
I mean, I'm not Mayor Giuliani:
1463
01:18:05,389 --> 01:18:09,101
I cannot look at that painting
and say, "That is sacrilegious."
1464
01:18:09,184 --> 01:18:12,104
It's art, and that is
what it should be called.
1465
01:18:12,688 --> 01:18:13,856
So is Mantan.
1466
01:18:13,939 --> 01:18:15,065
There are manypeople
1467
01:18:15,148 --> 01:18:18,694
who at this point
are sick and tired of the TVindustry:
1468
01:18:18,777 --> 01:18:20,255
And there are manyin the community
at this point
1469
01:18:20,279 --> 01:18:23,448
who say what they're doing
has got to stop now:
1470
01:18:23,532 --> 01:18:26,094
What do you say about the fact
that the line has to be drawn here?
1471
01:18:26,118 --> 01:18:28,662
- Those people need to wake up.
- Wake up to what?
1472
01:18:28,745 --> 01:18:31,957
I mean, slavery has been over
400 years ago!
1473
01:18:32,416 --> 01:18:34,293
We need to stop thinking that way.
1474
01:18:34,376 --> 01:18:37,671
Stop crying over the white man this,
the white man that.
1475
01:18:37,754 --> 01:18:42,134
This is the newmillennium,
and we mustjoin it:
1476
01:18:42,217 --> 01:18:46,638
Slavery did not end 400years ago:
Slavery ended in 1865:
1477
01:18:46,722 --> 01:18:51,351
Do the math. Your great-grandmother
who raised your mother's mother
1478
01:18:51,435 --> 01:18:52,436
was a slave.
1479
01:18:52,519 --> 01:18:56,565
And here you are, in this studio,
trying to excuse our own holocaust?
1480
01:18:56,648 --> 01:18:58,317
You're talking numbers, Gary.
1481
01:18:58,650 --> 01:19:02,154
Two hundred years, three hundred years,
it doesn't matter.
1482
01:19:02,237 --> 01:19:07,326
What matters, Gary, is slave mentality,
and that is what must be broken.
1483
01:19:07,409 --> 01:19:08,410
I had an aunt.
1484
01:19:08,827 --> 01:19:09,870
We called her Sister.
1485
01:19:11,288 --> 01:19:12,998
Aunt Sister went to her grave
1486
01:19:13,081 --> 01:19:16,293
believing that man
had not walked on the moon.
1487
01:19:17,336 --> 01:19:21,298
I would argue with this dear old woman,
I'd say, "It's on television."
1488
01:19:21,590 --> 01:19:25,636
And she'd say,
"I don't care what's on that idiot box.
1489
01:19:26,094 --> 01:19:28,013
No man is on the moon."
1490
01:19:28,096 --> 01:19:34,478
Gary, there are millions of Negroes
in this country with that same mentality.
1491
01:19:34,561 --> 01:19:37,064
They think like my Aunt Sister.
1492
01:19:37,940 --> 01:19:41,818
And they must change.
We must adapt to the times.
1493
01:19:41,902 --> 01:19:44,154
Otherwise, we will be left behind!
1494
01:19:44,237 --> 01:19:48,367
No more mess, CNS! Ban Mantan!
1495
01:19:48,867 --> 01:19:52,913
No more mess, CNS! Ban Mantan!
1496
01:19:52,996 --> 01:19:55,082
We've come to put you on notice!
1497
01:19:55,374 --> 01:19:58,210
There will be no desecrating
of our people!
1498
01:19:58,293 --> 01:20:01,088
There will be no... in the new century!
1499
01:20:01,171 --> 01:20:05,342
We will not allow no minstrel shows
in the 21 st century!
1500
01:20:05,425 --> 01:20:07,260
We're gonna close you down!
1501
01:20:07,344 --> 01:20:09,763
We're gonna close down youradvertising!
1502
01:20:09,846 --> 01:20:11,932
You wouldn't::: on your children!
1503
01:20:12,015 --> 01:20:14,977
- That's right, Rev!
- Look at how they disgrace us!
1504
01:20:15,602 --> 01:20:17,163
This is what we're protesting!
1505
01:20:17,187 --> 01:20:18,855
Painted face! A disgrace to the race!
1506
01:20:18,939 --> 01:20:21,358
Painted face,
disgrace to the race!
1507
01:20:21,441 --> 01:20:27,781
Painted face, disgrace to the race!
1508
01:20:34,538 --> 01:20:38,208
Yo, man, why is the Rev. Al Sharpton
and Johnnie Cochran down there?
1509
01:20:38,291 --> 01:20:42,045
Opportunists. They love
to see themselves on television.
1510
01:20:42,587 --> 01:20:43,839
You sound like the media.
1511
01:20:45,090 --> 01:20:46,091
This is nothing.
1512
01:20:46,925 --> 01:20:48,510
Tomorrow it'll all be over.
1513
01:20:50,053 --> 01:20:55,225
Besides, as Mr. Dunwitty says,
there's no such thing as bad publicity.
1514
01:20:57,978 --> 01:20:59,855
Here. That's for you.
1515
01:21:00,981 --> 01:21:03,984
It's a small token of appreciation
for all your hard work.
1516
01:21:04,067 --> 01:21:06,111
All right. Good-lookin', man.
1517
01:21:17,456 --> 01:21:23,253
Those are the last pair of tap shoes
worn by Mr. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.
1518
01:21:23,336 --> 01:21:24,546
- Word?
- In fact,
1519
01:21:24,629 --> 01:21:28,467
- he died with those on his feet.
- Buggin'.
1520
01:21:28,925 --> 01:21:30,385
No joke. I'm serious.
1521
01:21:31,219 --> 01:21:32,804
I hope I don't go out like that.
1522
01:21:42,898 --> 01:21:44,191
It's a nice sound.
1523
01:21:45,358 --> 01:21:46,443
Wood on wood.
1524
01:21:50,614 --> 01:21:51,615
Here come Blak.
1525
01:21:51,948 --> 01:21:53,283
- What's up?
- What's up?
1526
01:21:53,366 --> 01:21:55,160
Those fuckin' Tom Sambos.
1527
01:21:55,243 --> 01:21:57,204
Handkerchief-head-wearing ass.
1528
01:21:57,287 --> 01:21:58,622
Dancin' monkey.
1529
01:21:58,705 --> 01:21:59,998
Benedict Arnold!
1530
01:22:00,082 --> 01:22:04,419
Those motherfuckers fuckin' it up
for the whole fuckin' - fuckin' everybody!
1531
01:22:04,503 --> 01:22:05,670
They gonna dis us
1532
01:22:05,754 --> 01:22:10,884
and keep them two fuckin' smilin', happy,
Tom-laughing coon motherfuckers,
1533
01:22:10,967 --> 01:22:14,012
Mantan and goddamn Sleep'n Eat?
You know what I'm sayin'?
1534
01:22:14,096 --> 01:22:16,890
- They's foul, you know what I mean?
- Do you know what I'm saying?
1535
01:22:16,973 --> 01:22:18,409
- Know what I mean?
- You know what I'm saying?
1536
01:22:18,433 --> 01:22:19,952
- You know what I'm saying?
- You know what I mean?
1537
01:22:19,976 --> 01:22:21,704
- Do you know what I'm saying?
- Know what I mean?
1538
01:22:21,728 --> 01:22:23,706
- You know what I'm saying?
- You know what I mean I'm saying?
1539
01:22:23,730 --> 01:22:25,732
We know, man! We know, man!
1540
01:22:26,316 --> 01:22:27,651
Yeah, brothers, sister...
1541
01:22:30,028 --> 01:22:33,115
Yo, we can't let this injustice go by,
man. Not this time, man.
1542
01:22:33,198 --> 01:22:34,866
Them two coons is ill, man.
1543
01:22:34,950 --> 01:22:39,371
Word up, man. What we do on this level,
this shit gotta be fuckin' big, y'all.
1544
01:22:39,454 --> 01:22:43,041
It's gotta be some global blowout shit.
You know what I'm saying?
1545
01:22:43,125 --> 01:22:47,379
This shit gotta have some
fuckin' symbolism to it! Some sustenance!
1546
01:22:47,462 --> 01:22:49,339
This shit gotta be like fuckin' -
1547
01:22:50,048 --> 01:22:53,385
John Carlos and Tommie Smith
at the '68 Olympics,
1548
01:22:53,468 --> 01:22:54,594
do you know what I'm saying?
1549
01:22:54,678 --> 01:22:57,013
With the fists up! Some big shit!
1550
01:22:57,139 --> 01:23:00,392
- This is nice. This is real nice.
- All right?
1551
01:23:00,475 --> 01:23:03,395
This must have cost you a pretty penny.
1552
01:23:04,271 --> 01:23:06,356
Yeah, I got it like that now, so...
1553
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:07,983
- You do?
- Yeah.
1554
01:23:08,066 --> 01:23:09,067
Okay.
1555
01:23:09,151 --> 01:23:12,231
- I mean, a little somethin'-somethin'.
- A little somethin'-somethin' is right.
1556
01:23:12,279 --> 01:23:14,573
I hope you saving
a little somethin'-somethin'.
1557
01:23:14,948 --> 01:23:16,741
Yeah, I ain't tryin' to end up broke.
1558
01:23:17,909 --> 01:23:18,910
Well, that's good.
1559
01:23:20,078 --> 01:23:22,122
- See you got your pictures up.
- Yeah.
1560
01:23:23,290 --> 01:23:24,934
You know,
I was just reading the other day,
1561
01:23:24,958 --> 01:23:26,877
at the beginning of the 20th Century,
1562
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:30,172
how African-Americans
had to perform in blackface.
1563
01:23:30,255 --> 01:23:33,633
You know that entertainerBert Williams?
He was brilliant:
1564
01:23:34,968 --> 01:23:36,648
- You know Bert?- Not really, hey:
1565
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:38,889
Maybe before my time:
1566
01:23:38,972 --> 01:23:39,973
Do you read?
1567
01:23:40,765 --> 01:23:43,101
I mean, not really. Sort of hurts my head.
1568
01:23:43,393 --> 01:23:46,229
Hurts your head. Okay.
You should start reading.
1569
01:23:46,313 --> 01:23:48,940
Maybe I should start
doing a lot of things.
1570
01:23:50,317 --> 01:23:52,485
Well, as I was saying...
1571
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,071
Bert Williams and the rest, you know,
1572
01:23:55,155 --> 01:23:57,449
they had to blacken up
'cause they had no choice.
1573
01:23:57,991 --> 01:24:02,037
And of course, during that time, we were
considered three-fifths of a human being.
1574
01:24:02,537 --> 01:24:05,707
Did you know that was actually written
in the Constitution of the United States?
1575
01:24:05,790 --> 01:24:09,252
Sloan, why are you all - why you -
why you flippin' on me right now?
1576
01:24:09,336 --> 01:24:11,838
You know what I mean?
This whole blackface thing.
1577
01:24:11,922 --> 01:24:14,382
You know what I mean?
Don't try to front like you wasn't down.
1578
01:24:14,466 --> 01:24:17,219
You know what I mean?
It was all part of a deal, you know?
1579
01:24:17,636 --> 01:24:19,262
You was down from the get-go.
1580
01:24:19,346 --> 01:24:20,805
You down with Dela, right?
1581
01:24:23,141 --> 01:24:25,018
Yes. I'm down with Dela.
1582
01:24:25,101 --> 01:24:29,731
I just thought you might be interested
in the origins of blackface.
1583
01:24:29,814 --> 01:24:30,815
Look...
1584
01:24:31,608 --> 01:24:36,988
My man Womack, myself,
we can definitely handle this business.
1585
01:24:37,530 --> 01:24:41,826
I mean, I - for sure,
I know I can handle my business.
1586
01:24:47,499 --> 01:24:49,709
Well, okay.
1587
01:24:52,545 --> 01:24:55,173
I'm gonna check this view out
'cause it's real nice.
1588
01:24:55,257 --> 01:25:00,887
I'm diggin' this whole thing right here.
This is a nice vibe. I'm liking this.
1589
01:25:33,837 --> 01:25:36,006
Sleep'n Eat.
1590
01:26:03,491 --> 01:26:05,076
I seen a lot of troubles lately.
1591
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:07,495
Well, how be that?
1592
01:26:07,579 --> 01:26:10,582
I don't know who I is.
1593
01:26:10,665 --> 01:26:13,793
Aw!
1594
01:26:13,877 --> 01:26:16,963
Well, I'll be
a Alabama porch monkey's uncle.
1595
01:26:19,382 --> 01:26:22,510
At least you know who you is.
1596
01:26:22,594 --> 01:26:25,055
Years ago, I married a widow
who had a grown-up daughter.
1597
01:26:25,555 --> 01:26:28,308
My daddy visited us often,
fell in love, and married her.
1598
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:30,852
Thusly, he became my son-in-law,
1599
01:26:30,935 --> 01:26:34,397
and my step-daughter became my mother
because she was my father's wife.
1600
01:26:34,481 --> 01:26:36,441
That's right.
1601
01:26:36,524 --> 01:26:39,778
After that, my father's wife
gave birth to a son,
1602
01:26:40,236 --> 01:26:43,615
which became my brother and my grandchild.
1603
01:26:43,698 --> 01:26:45,408
Because he was the son of my daughter.
1604
01:26:45,492 --> 01:26:47,660
- What? You jivin'!
- I ain't jivin'!
1605
01:26:47,744 --> 01:26:51,206
Now, accordingly,
my wife was my grandmother
1606
01:26:51,289 --> 01:26:52,916
because she was my mother's mother.
1607
01:26:54,250 --> 01:26:58,922
Mantan, I was my wife's husband
and grandchild at one and the same time.
1608
01:26:59,005 --> 01:27:00,006
And lo and behold,
1609
01:27:00,090 --> 01:27:03,176
as the husband of a person's grandmother
is a grandfather...
1610
01:27:03,259 --> 01:27:05,970
- That's right.
- ... I became my goddamn own grandfather!
1611
01:27:06,054 --> 01:27:09,432
Holy mackerel!
1612
01:27:09,849 --> 01:27:15,480
Sleep'n Eat, that sure is a whopper!
1613
01:27:15,563 --> 01:27:16,856
You said it, cousin.
1614
01:27:17,232 --> 01:27:20,443
Or is we?
1615
01:27:20,944 --> 01:27:22,862
Feets, do your stuff.

01:27:56,104 --> 01:27:57,105

I'm ready to merc somebody.

just blow that nigger's
fuckin' cavities back.
1635
01:29:59,644 --> 01:30:02,021
That's what I say, right?
Blow his cavities back.
1636
01:30:05,108 --> 01:30:06,734
To my astonishment,
1637
01:30:06,818 --> 01:30:12,282
not only did the people in Television Land
love us, but also the critics:
1638
01:30:12,365 --> 01:30:18,955
Mantan was being hailed as groundbreaking,
barrier-breaking, also earth-shaking:
1639
01:30:19,747 --> 01:30:22,667
I looked forward to my awards:
1640
01:30:22,750 --> 01:30:26,045
Just vindication forallmyhard work:
1641
01:30:26,462 --> 01:30:30,091
Allmy talent
that hadpreviouslybeen overlooked:
1642
01:30:30,174 --> 01:30:32,343
Pierre Delacroix, for Mantan.
1643
01:30:32,427 --> 01:30:34,345
Come on up andgetyour Golden Globe:
1644
01:30:34,429 --> 01:30:35,430
Yes!
1645
01:30:35,930 --> 01:30:37,932
Yeah!
1646
01:30:41,227 --> 01:30:43,104
Mira, I love you!
1647
01:30:43,187 --> 01:30:45,940
You don't know this,
we both took Mandarin together at Harvard.
1648
01:30:46,024 --> 01:30:48,294
I, I - You didn't notice me.
I sat in the back of the class.
1649
01:30:48,318 --> 01:30:52,989
But - I love - You are like
the light reflected off an angel!
1650
01:30:53,698 --> 01:30:56,701
That routine
wouldgo overlike gangbusters:
1651
01:30:57,076 --> 01:30:59,203
I would be a dancing fool:
1652
01:30:59,621 --> 01:31:01,581
Hollywood's new favorite Negro:
1653
01:31:01,914 --> 01:31:04,959
Move over, Danny, Morgan, Samuel I!
1654
01:31:05,043 --> 01:31:07,337
Out of my way, Eddie and Wesley!
1655
01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:09,631
Make room forme, Will Smith!
1656
01:31:10,131 --> 01:31:12,800
Here comes Delacroix!
1657
01:31:12,884 --> 01:31:14,344
Show me the money!
1658
01:31:14,427 --> 01:31:17,388
::: Best New Situational Comedyis:::
1659
01:31:17,472 --> 01:31:18,848
Pierre Delacroix.
1660

For Mantan:: The New Millennium
Minstrel Show.
1661
01:31:26,189 --> 01:31:27,440
I want to thank the Academy.
1662
01:31:28,066 --> 01:31:31,486
- Yeah! Delacroix! Right on!
- Truly, for this award.
1663
01:31:31,569 --> 01:31:34,906
- You - you the man!
- And right now, words escape me.
1664
01:31:35,698 --> 01:31:38,076
Which is odd for a writer, of course.
1665
01:31:38,159 --> 01:31:40,745
Mr. Modine, would you please
join me at the podium?
1666
01:31:43,790 --> 01:31:48,127
Now, I have never met this man
in my life before.
1667
01:31:48,211 --> 01:31:49,212
I...
1668
01:31:50,129 --> 01:31:51,756
am his greatest fan.
1669
01:31:52,715 --> 01:31:54,050
I've seen all your work.
1670
01:31:54,133 --> 01:31:58,513
I've seen you in Rumble Fish,
and - and - and Flamingo Kid,
1671
01:31:58,596 --> 01:32:02,392
and Something About Mary, and Wild Things.
I've just watched that over and -
1672
01:32:04,102 --> 01:32:05,103
Matt Dillon?
1673
01:32:05,186 --> 01:32:07,021
He's -
1674
01:32:07,522 --> 01:32:09,202
Well, I'm sure
if you were in those movies,
1675
01:32:09,273 --> 01:32:11,192
you would have been just as brilliant.
1676
01:32:11,275 --> 01:32:13,778
And so I want to thank you
from the bowels of my heart,
1677
01:32:13,861 --> 01:32:18,282
and I want you to have this Emmy, please.
I do not deserve it.
1678
01:32:18,366 --> 01:32:21,577
No. I can't accept this, Pierre.
It's very generous of you, very kind.
1679
01:32:21,661 --> 01:32:24,414
- But this is for you. This is for...
- Give it to the garbageman!
1680
01:32:24,497 --> 01:32:26,499
- Give this man his Emmy!
- Mantan:: The Minstrel -
1681
01:32:26,582 --> 01:32:27,583
Yes!
1682
01:32:30,962 --> 01:32:32,630
if I did that:::
1683
01:32:33,339 --> 01:32:35,717
I'd be assured ofwork forever:
1684
01:32:36,384 --> 01:32:39,887
Delacroix - the grateful Negro:
1685
01:32:39,971 --> 01:32:43,141
All right. Listen, man.
We're takin' it from the same spot.
1686
01:32:43,224 --> 01:32:44,892
Toe-heel, don't rush.
1687
01:32:44,976 --> 01:32:47,311
One, two, three, and -
1688
01:32:55,361 --> 01:32:56,362
Don't rush!
1689
01:33:02,577 --> 01:33:04,036
Come on, get down there!
1690
01:33:07,165 --> 01:33:08,332
Pivot, toe.
1691
01:33:20,386 --> 01:33:22,889
No, no, no. No, no, no!
1692
01:33:23,306 --> 01:33:24,807
Come on now, what was that?
1693
01:33:25,850 --> 01:33:27,852
Let me hear you, Lil'nigger Jim.
1694
01:33:30,646 --> 01:33:32,231
No. No, no.
1695
01:33:32,774 --> 01:33:34,066
Let me hear you once again, man.
1696
01:33:36,152 --> 01:33:37,153
No!
1697
01:33:37,236 --> 01:33:38,821
- How old are you, man?
- Ten.
1698
01:33:38,905 --> 01:33:40,674
You ten, right?
You want to live to see eleven?
1699
01:33:40,698 --> 01:33:42,116
What's going on, man?
1700
01:33:42,492 --> 01:33:44,702
Y'all need a break or something?
You need a break?
1701
01:33:44,786 --> 01:33:47,205
Let's take a break.
Take a ten-minute break.
1702
01:33:48,498 --> 01:33:50,166
Take a break! Y'all take a break, man!
1703
01:33:50,249 --> 01:33:52,168
Yo. What's up, man?
1704
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:54,212
I don't know, man. Sorry.
1705
01:33:55,004 --> 01:33:56,380
I'm surprised at you, man.
1706
01:34:05,223 --> 01:34:06,557
- What's up?
- What's up?
1707
01:34:07,308 --> 01:34:09,560
Since when do you start
talking to people like that?
1708
01:34:10,228 --> 01:34:12,522
Tell me, Manny, when that start?
When you start that?
1709
01:34:13,189 --> 01:34:16,442
You see what they're doin' to my 'ography,
man? They're messin' it up, man.
1710
01:34:16,526 --> 01:34:18,444
Trippin', man.
I'm not drinkin' the Kool-Aid.
1711
01:34:18,528 --> 01:34:20,279
You ain't drinkin'? What you mean?
1712
01:34:20,363 --> 01:34:23,282
Yeah. You know, like Jim Jones?
"I'm not drinkin' the Kool-Aid"?
1713
01:34:23,908 --> 01:34:25,368
What you talkin' about, man?
1714
01:34:25,451 --> 01:34:28,830
I'm talking about this pickaninny
watermelon bullshit!
1715
01:34:28,913 --> 01:34:31,999
I'm out! I'm raisin', up.
The fuck outta here.
1716
01:34:32,083 --> 01:34:33,084
You out?
1717
01:34:33,584 --> 01:34:36,170
You know what, man? Good, yo. Be out.
1718
01:34:36,712 --> 01:34:39,757
'Cause I got a broken back from carrying
you around all these years anyway.
1719
01:34:39,841 --> 01:34:42,134
- So that's what you been doing?
- Yeah.
1720
01:34:43,302 --> 01:34:45,388
Stand up. Stand up, okay? Stand up.
1721
01:34:46,222 --> 01:34:47,223
That what you been doing?
1722
01:34:48,307 --> 01:34:49,350
You been carrying me?
1723
01:34:50,268 --> 01:34:52,603
We were on the streets,
you weren't talking that shit.
1724
01:34:53,855 --> 01:34:56,482
When you was hungry,
you wasn't talking that shit.
1725
01:34:57,650 --> 01:34:58,651
Was you?
1726
01:34:58,734 --> 01:35:00,444
What, you been doing push-ups now?
1727
01:35:00,528 --> 01:35:02,798
- And now what? You clock diesel now?
- Come on, man.
1728
01:35:02,822 --> 01:35:04,532
Don't sit down. Don't sit down, Manny.
1729
01:35:07,535 --> 01:35:10,079
-You know, I don't know -
-You gonna jump?
1730
01:35:10,162 --> 01:35:11,664
What's up? Do you remember me?
1731
01:35:11,747 --> 01:35:13,374
Do you remember me?
1732
01:35:13,457 --> 01:35:15,209
Do you?
1733
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:17,128
Remember me?
1734
01:35:18,254 --> 01:35:20,214
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
That what I thought.
1735
01:35:21,007 --> 01:35:22,675
It's just what I thought, right there.
1736
01:35:23,175 --> 01:35:25,428
Hey, go ahead, man.
1737
01:35:26,762 --> 01:35:28,180
Do what you want right now.
1738
01:35:29,181 --> 01:35:31,225
I'm handling mines, man.
You know what I mean?
1739
01:35:31,309 --> 01:35:32,476
I got a roof over my head.
1740
01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:35,271
Yo, fuckin' with you,
we'd still be out on the street, man.
1741
01:35:35,354 --> 01:35:36,665
What are you, calling me a cling-on?
1742
01:35:36,689 --> 01:35:38,733
You been draggin' me?
I been dead weight to you?
1743
01:35:39,317 --> 01:35:40,318
Is that what I been?
1744
01:35:40,401 --> 01:35:41,652
New millennium?
1745
01:35:43,237 --> 01:35:44,864
It's the same bullshit!
1746
01:35:45,948 --> 01:35:46,949
Just done over.
1747
01:35:47,742 --> 01:35:48,784
Same bullshit.
1748
01:35:55,583 --> 01:35:57,126
"Yassa, I..."
1749
01:35:58,252 --> 01:35:59,795
What you want me to do, massa?
1750
01:36:00,671 --> 01:36:01,923
Anything for you, sir.
1751
01:36:02,673 --> 01:36:04,383
I sang for ya.
1752
01:36:05,468 --> 01:36:09,430
I tap dance for ya, massa.
1753
01:36:10,681 --> 01:36:12,266
I coon for ya.
1754
01:36:13,601 --> 01:36:15,561
Anything just to make you laugh.
1755
01:36:16,771 --> 01:36:17,772
Massa?
1756
01:36:18,940 --> 01:36:19,941
Yassa.
1757
01:36:21,192 --> 01:36:22,902
"Yassa."
1758
01:36:38,834 --> 01:36:39,961
You should call him.
1759
01:36:40,670 --> 01:36:43,631
I'm not really thinking about Womack
right now, you know what I mean?
1760
01:36:45,174 --> 01:36:48,469
I mean, what am I callin' him for?
I mean, he left. He should be callin' me.
1761
01:36:48,552 --> 01:36:51,472
You gotta be the bigger person,
though. It's not about, you know -
1762
01:36:51,555 --> 01:36:54,350
Don't take it on the ego thing,
'cause it's not about that.
1763
01:36:54,433 --> 01:36:55,434
He comes in.
1764
01:36:55,893 --> 01:37:00,982
All right. it may have been a bad time
or whatever, but he came at me like...
1765
01:37:01,941 --> 01:37:04,068
I mean, like he was my boss
or somethin', like,
1766
01:37:04,568 --> 01:37:06,448
"What am I doing talkin'
to the kids like that?"
1767
01:37:07,405 --> 01:37:10,449
Talkin' to them like that
'cause they not gettin' the 'ography.
1768
01:37:10,533 --> 01:37:12,284
And he just gotta go into some...
1769
01:37:13,577 --> 01:37:15,329
"do you remember" daze.
1770
01:37:15,705 --> 01:37:17,665
I mean, jumpin' at me...
1771
01:37:18,624 --> 01:37:22,044
like he gonna knock my head off,
beat me up in the studio.
1772
01:37:22,795 --> 01:37:26,215
You know what I mean? I'm just like,
"I'm not feelin' you right now, Womack."
1773
01:37:26,924 --> 01:37:27,925
"Straight up."
1774
01:37:28,009 --> 01:37:29,343
You want me to call him?
1775
01:37:29,927 --> 01:37:31,470
I'm not callin' Womack, no.
1776
01:37:32,388 --> 01:37:33,973
No, man, he calls me.
1777
01:37:34,682 --> 01:37:38,060
So how long have you and Hambone
been hanging out?
1778
01:37:38,144 --> 01:37:40,021
We're friends.
1779
01:37:40,104 --> 01:37:42,356
Really? That's not
what your brother seems to think.
1780
01:37:42,773 --> 01:37:45,443
Well, he's playing
that big brother role, so whatever.
1781
01:37:46,402 --> 01:37:49,155
So, are you getting "jiggy" with him?
1782
01:37:50,865 --> 01:37:54,118
Pierre, I don't really think
that's any of your business.
1783
01:37:54,493 --> 01:37:55,786
So, why am I here?
1784
01:37:56,871 --> 01:38:01,959
Well, Mr. Dunwitty and I
feel that you're getting too close to him.
1785
01:38:02,501 --> 01:38:05,004
And that his mind is being messed up.
1786
01:38:05,463 --> 01:38:06,756
He's unfocused.
1787
01:38:06,839 --> 01:38:09,300
So I must demand that you stop seeing him.
1788
01:38:11,552 --> 01:38:13,304
Work-related or otherwise?
1789
01:38:13,387 --> 01:38:16,140
Otherwise.
And I trust you know the difference.
1790
01:38:16,724 --> 01:38:19,185
If he asks me something,
I can't lie to him.
1791
01:38:19,685 --> 01:38:21,437
Okay? I have to tell him the truth.
1792
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:24,148
Well, do you have
to be so damn forthright?
1793
01:38:24,565 --> 01:38:26,442
You should try it sometime, Dela.
1794
01:38:26,525 --> 01:38:28,360
When are you gonna come into the light?
1795
01:38:28,444 --> 01:38:30,112
- The light?
- The light!
1796
01:38:30,196 --> 01:38:34,366
Don't you give me none of this
mumbo jumbo bullshit, Ms. Sloan,
1797
01:38:34,450 --> 01:38:37,745
because your hands
are just as bloody as mine.
1798
01:38:37,828 --> 01:38:39,914
I know where I made my big mistake.
1799
01:38:41,665 --> 01:38:45,336
I should have never gotten
romantically involved with the help.
1800
01:38:48,839 --> 01:38:49,965
What did you just say?
1801
01:38:52,343 --> 01:38:54,720
Nigger, did you just call me your "help"?
1802
01:38:57,681 --> 01:38:59,141
Is that what you think of me?
1803
01:38:59,934 --> 01:39:04,146
Let me tell you a thing or two
about help, Peerless Dothan.
1804
01:39:05,731 --> 01:39:10,778
If you weren't so busy fucking
Mary Ann, Sue, and Beth,
1805
01:39:10,861 --> 01:39:13,823
maybe you would have
a little bit more stroke in your back.
1806
01:39:13,906 --> 01:39:16,033
Now, help that shit out.
1807
01:39:16,117 --> 01:39:17,118
Get out.
1808
01:39:17,910 --> 01:39:20,579
Get the fuck out!
1809
01:39:26,752 --> 01:39:27,753
You know what?
1810
01:39:28,921 --> 01:39:30,965
You are fucked up.
1811
01:39:34,802 --> 01:39:36,011
Look at that shit.
1812
01:39:36,637 --> 01:39:39,056
That could help your sorry ass one day.
1813
01:39:42,017 --> 01:39:45,229
I trust you can "help" yourself out.
1814
01:39:47,815 --> 01:39:52,069
What you did was dead wrong.
Wrong. Capital W. Wrong.
1815
01:39:52,153 --> 01:39:56,782
Buddy boy, in this business,
if you do not produce, you get fired.
1816
01:39:56,866 --> 01:39:58,909
- It's that simple.
- Sloan - Listen.
1817
01:39:58,993 --> 01:40:01,745
Sloan is the hardest-working person
I ever met.
1818
01:40:01,829 --> 01:40:03,831
Come on. You're a bright young man.
1819
01:40:04,206 --> 01:40:06,667
How do you think she got the gig
in the first place?
1820
01:40:06,750 --> 01:40:08,544
- No.
- Yes.
1821
01:40:08,627 --> 01:40:11,547
I hate to burst your bubble,
Mantan the Marvelous,
1822
01:40:11,839 --> 01:40:14,842
but Sloan is an opportunist!
1823
01:40:14,925 --> 01:40:16,677
Nah, man. You don't believe that.
1824
01:40:18,429 --> 01:40:19,471
I don't believe that.
1825
01:40:19,805 --> 01:40:21,307
Do I have to spell it out for you?
1826
01:40:21,390 --> 01:40:24,560
In fact, why don't you
go ask her yourself?
1827
01:40:25,060 --> 01:40:26,812
- Nah.
- Ask her. Say, "Sloan..."
1828
01:40:27,563 --> 01:40:29,148
How did you get this gig?"
1829
01:40:29,231 --> 01:40:30,524
How did you get this gig?
1830
01:40:31,150 --> 01:40:33,694
I had an internship
and I worked like a dog
1831
01:40:33,777 --> 01:40:36,322
to get in the position that I'm in today.
1832
01:40:36,697 --> 01:40:38,282
Are you leaving something out?
1833
01:40:38,365 --> 01:40:39,700
Like I said...
1834
01:40:40,868 --> 01:40:42,203
I had an internship.
1835
01:40:43,078 --> 01:40:47,458
Dela liked how I worked,
and he hired me as his assistant.
1836
01:40:47,541 --> 01:40:48,542
And?
1837
01:40:50,377 --> 01:40:52,588
And what?
1838
01:40:52,671 --> 01:40:54,298
Don't play with me right now, Sloan.
1839
01:40:56,634 --> 01:40:59,803
Manray, if you have something to ask me,
ask it.
1840
01:41:00,387 --> 01:41:03,474
- You just want me to say it, right?
- Say what?
1841
01:41:06,727 --> 01:41:08,229
Did you ever sleep with Dela?
1842
01:41:08,312 --> 01:41:09,313
Yes, I did.
1843
01:41:09,396 --> 01:41:11,036
-Listen! it doesn't have any -
-I knew it.
1844
01:41:11,106 --> 01:41:13,359
- Listen! it doesn't have anything...
- I knew it!
1845
01:41:13,442 --> 01:41:16,904
...to do with how I got my job.
It was a mistake.
1846
01:41:17,529 --> 01:41:20,407
Okay? it happened a very long time ago,
1847
01:41:20,491 --> 01:41:23,118
and it doesn't have anything
to do with me and you.
1848
01:41:25,454 --> 01:41:27,081
You know what?
1849
01:41:27,164 --> 01:41:30,334
Figured you was probably gonna try
to play me, right? Try to use me.
1850
01:41:30,417 --> 01:41:32,127
- Come on!
- Just like you used Dela
1851
01:41:32,211 --> 01:41:33,921
to work your way to the top?
1852
01:41:35,381 --> 01:41:38,926
It's funny how people in this business
can just flip on you like lHOP.
1853
01:41:40,219 --> 01:41:41,929
I'm glad he fired your ass.
1854
01:41:46,433 --> 01:41:47,601
You -
1855
01:41:49,395 --> 01:41:51,272
You know what?
Let me tell you what's funny.
1856
01:41:53,190 --> 01:41:57,695
It's funny how a man always
has to perceive an attractive young lady
1857
01:41:57,778 --> 01:42:01,282
as having to fuck or suck somebody
in order to get to the top.
1858
01:42:01,365 --> 01:42:04,785
It doesn't have anything to do
with the fact that I'm intelligent maybe?
1859
01:42:04,868 --> 01:42:07,496
Or have anything to do
with the fact that I have drive?
1860
01:42:07,579 --> 01:42:08,622
That doesn't matter?
1861
01:42:09,707 --> 01:42:13,002
No, I fucked him.
Yes, I fucked him. How about that?
1862
01:42:16,505 --> 01:42:19,508
The question is,
are you a puppet for Dela?
1863
01:42:20,592 --> 01:42:23,304
- Don't try to change the subject.
- I'm not changing anything.
1864
01:42:23,387 --> 01:42:27,808
I'm asking you a question.
Are you a puppet for Dela?
1865
01:42:27,891 --> 01:42:30,060
No. I'm looking at Dela's puppet.
1866
01:42:31,061 --> 01:42:33,355
Well, then the real question is...
1867
01:42:35,816 --> 01:42:37,234
whose puppet are you?
1868
01:42:45,659 --> 01:42:47,220
Hello, Mommy: How are you?
1869
01:42:47,244 --> 01:42:49,455
I'm just fine, honey.
1870
01:42:49,538 --> 01:42:53,500
L'vejust been here
reading aboutyourshow:
1871
01:42:53,584 --> 01:42:55,711
It's everywhere:
1872
01:42:55,794 --> 01:42:58,172
You know, I only sawit once:
1873
01:42:58,922 --> 01:43:01,133
I thoughtyou told me
there would be no buffoonery!
1874
01:43:01,216 --> 01:43:02,801
Are you going to attack me, too?
1875
01:43:03,677 --> 01:43:06,305
The show is a hit.
Why can't you be happy for me?
1876
01:43:06,388 --> 01:43:09,391
Of course I'm happy for you, honey.
1877
01:43:09,475 --> 01:43:12,269
But a coon is a coon!
1878
01:43:14,980 --> 01:43:17,441
- Peerless.
- What?
1879
01:43:17,524 --> 01:43:21,195
You work so hard for your success, honey.
1880
01:43:21,278 --> 01:43:23,280
Yes, I have. Very hard.
1881
01:43:24,365 --> 01:43:25,616
Has my father called?
1882
01:43:25,699 --> 01:43:27,743
- No. No.
- Not at all?
1883
01:43:28,035 --> 01:43:30,871
Well, honey, you know your daddy.
1884
01:43:32,122 --> 01:43:34,166
Well, if and when he does call,
1885
01:43:34,249 --> 01:43:37,336
please, don't forget to ask him
if he's seen Mantan.
1886
01:43:37,878 --> 01:43:39,213
I will, honey.
1887
01:43:40,631 --> 01:43:41,840
- Peerless?
- Yes?
1888
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:44,468
You disappoint me.
1889
01:43:45,886 --> 01:43:47,763
Yes. Well, I have to go now.
1890
01:43:50,557 --> 01:43:52,476
The hell are you smiling at?
1891
01:44:05,197 --> 01:44:06,740
Jolly Nigger Bank.
1892
01:45:17,644 --> 01:45:22,816
When I thought orimagined
that my favorite Jolly NiggerBank,
1893
01:45:22,900 --> 01:45:27,070
an inanimate object,
a piece ofcold cast iron,
1894
01:45:27,154 --> 01:45:29,323
was moving byitself,
1895
01:45:29,406 --> 01:45:31,074
I knew I was getting paranoid:
1896
01:45:32,075 --> 01:45:34,036
Did I really see what I saw?
1897
01:45:34,995 --> 01:45:36,997
Or was I hallucinating?
1898
01:45:37,122 --> 01:45:41,835
What's up, my millennium niggers?
1899
01:45:50,594 --> 01:45:52,137
Whoo!
1900
01:45:54,348 --> 01:45:56,141
My name is...
1901
01:45:58,268 --> 01:46:02,481
Honest Abe Honeycutt-
1902
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:08,570
And I've just got one thing to say.
1903
01:46:08,654 --> 01:46:09,655
What?
1904
01:46:10,239 --> 01:46:13,784
Ooh-whee!
1905
01:46:13,867 --> 01:46:17,204
Ooh-whah!
1906
01:46:17,287 --> 01:46:19,122
Sounds so good I gotta do it again.
1907
01:46:19,206 --> 01:46:21,583
Ooh-whee!
1908
01:46:21,667 --> 01:46:25,587
Ooh-whah!
1909
01:46:25,671 --> 01:46:26,672
And four score...
1910
01:46:27,589 --> 01:46:29,049
and seven years ago...
1911
01:46:29,132 --> 01:46:31,218
Preach, boy.
1912
01:46:31,301 --> 01:46:35,055
...they was kicking our black asses.
1913
01:46:35,514 --> 01:46:39,726
Boy, I mean they had a whip,
and they was kicking our black asses
1914
01:46:39,810 --> 01:46:44,731
from can't see in the morning
till can't see at night.
1915
01:46:46,358 --> 01:46:53,198
But this is the new millennium!
1916
01:46:54,533 --> 01:46:58,203
How's everybody doing?
1917
01:46:58,954 --> 01:47:01,540
Grandma Bull, Grandma Bull,
is you a nigger?
1918
01:47:01,623 --> 01:47:05,752
Yes sirree Bob.
Darn tootin', I'm a nigger.
1919
01:47:08,380 --> 01:47:10,924
Give her applause!
Give her some applause!
1920
01:47:11,008 --> 01:47:13,343

1921
01:47:13,427 --> 01:47:15,762

1922
01:47:15,846 --> 01:47:19,600
Honeycutt, you be nigger.
You be nigger!
1923
01:47:23,061 --> 01:47:24,646
Let's be niggers together!
1924
01:47:24,730 --> 01:47:28,525
Boom, boom, Honeycutt!
Boom, Honeycutt! Boom, boom, Honeycutt!
1925
01:47:29,401 --> 01:47:31,737
- Are you a nigger?
- Yes.
1926
01:47:32,321 --> 01:47:35,157
I'm bo - I'm from the Bronx, man.
1927
01:47:35,532 --> 01:47:39,119
Home of the world champions!
New York Yankees!
1928
01:47:44,750 --> 01:47:46,043
Where you from, my sister?
1929
01:47:46,418 --> 01:47:47,961
Puerto Rico.
1930
01:47:48,045 --> 01:47:50,714
That's right, baby.
So, I'm not just a nigger.
1931
01:47:50,797 --> 01:47:53,759
I'm a nigger, okay?
1932
01:47:53,842 --> 01:47:56,123
Send something
to our other sisters out there.
1933
01:47:57,971 --> 01:48:02,059
If you not a nigger, be a nigger!
1934
01:48:02,142 --> 01:48:03,268
Is you a nigger?
1935
01:48:03,727 --> 01:48:05,103
I'm a Sicilian nigger.
1936
01:48:06,021 --> 01:48:08,982
Which means I'm more of a nigger
than any nigger in here.
1937
01:48:09,066 --> 01:48:11,443
- Ooh!
- Okay?
1938
01:48:11,526 --> 01:48:13,820
Because you know
what they say about Sicilians.
1939

My God. it broke my heart
1987
01:50:47,140 --> 01:50:51,853
to have to be the one to pull
your coattails as to her sexual exploits.
1988
01:50:51,937 --> 01:50:55,982
However, we must remain professional.
1989
01:50:56,817 --> 01:50:59,528
The show must go on.
1990
01:50:59,611 --> 01:51:01,363
I will always be professional.
1991
01:51:01,738 --> 01:51:04,991
But as far as this buck dancing,
this blackface shit, I'm not doing it.
1992
01:51:05,075 --> 01:51:06,785
No costume, no blackface?
1993
01:51:06,868 --> 01:51:09,579
Hell, no. Blackface. No.
1994
01:51:10,539 --> 01:51:11,540
Fine.
1995
01:51:12,707 --> 01:51:14,042
It's gonna be your funeral.
1996
01:51:15,919 --> 01:51:22,300
We want Mantan!
1997
01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:26,137
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.
1998
01:51:26,221 --> 01:51:28,306
We apologize for the holdup.
1999
01:51:28,682 --> 01:51:31,226
So, without any further delay,
ladies and gentlemen,
2000
01:51:31,309 --> 01:51:33,687
give it up for Mantan!
2001
01:52:08,471 --> 01:52:09,723
- What's going on?
- I don't know.
2002
01:52:09,806 --> 01:52:11,516
What do you mean, you don't know?
2003
01:52:13,393 --> 01:52:14,394
Cousins...
2004
01:52:16,605 --> 01:52:19,024
I want you all to go to your windows.
2005
01:52:20,483 --> 01:52:22,694
Go to your windows and yell out.
2006
01:52:22,777 --> 01:52:26,823
Scream with all the life
that you can muster up
2007
01:52:26,907 --> 01:52:33,288
inside your bruised, assaulted
and battered bodies.
2008
01:52:33,371 --> 01:52:37,542
I am sick and tired of being a nigger,
2009
01:52:37,626 --> 01:52:42,047
and I am not gonna take it anymore!
2010
01:52:42,130 --> 01:52:44,633
"Sick and tired of being a nigger?" What?
2011
01:52:51,348 --> 01:52:53,892
I don't think he's getting up.
2012
01:52:58,855 --> 01:53:00,899
- What is this?
- It must be a dance.
2013
01:53:03,985 --> 01:53:05,654
What the fuck is going on here?
2014
01:53:08,531 --> 01:53:10,742
Stop the tape! Stop the tape!
2015
01:53:10,825 --> 01:53:12,535
Stop the goddamn tape!
2016
01:53:12,619 --> 01:53:13,912
Stop! Cut!
2017
01:53:14,955 --> 01:53:16,998
Cut! Cut!
2018
01:53:17,082 --> 01:53:19,584
What are you doing? What are you doing?
2019
01:53:19,668 --> 01:53:20,669
Stop dancing!
2020
01:53:20,919 --> 01:53:22,480
- Get him out of the building!
- Yo, get off me!
2021
01:53:22,504 --> 01:53:25,674
- Stop dancing! Stop dancing!
- Get off me!
2022
01:53:25,924 --> 01:53:29,719
- Yo, what you doing? Yo, get off me, man!
- We apologize, ladies and gentlemen.
2023
01:53:30,512 --> 01:53:33,807
Just relax. We'll be right back
with a good show. Hold that.
2024
01:53:34,557 --> 01:53:37,268
Get him out of here! Get him out!
2025
01:53:37,352 --> 01:53:41,064
Ladies and gentlemen, Mantan
has come down with a case of coon-it is.
2026
01:53:41,147 --> 01:53:44,109
We'll take him out back
and whip it right out of him.
2027
01:53:44,192 --> 01:53:46,778
I will have him out here
even if I have to cut off a foot.
2028
01:53:46,861 --> 01:53:50,031
He'll dance like -
2029
01:53:50,115 --> 01:53:52,409
- You just relax.
- Get him out.
2030
01:53:52,492 --> 01:53:54,136
I wasn't finished
doing my dancing!
2031
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:56,329
But you are finished.
You're done.
2032
01:53:56,413 --> 01:53:58,140
You see, niggers like you
are a dime a dozen.
2033
01:53:58,164 --> 01:53:59,165
You think you're special?
2034
01:53:59,249 --> 01:54:01,143
I'm gonna just slide Honeycutt
right into your spot,
2035
01:54:01,167 --> 01:54:02,377
you fake-ass tap dance kid.
2036
01:54:02,460 --> 01:54:03,878
Get him out of the building.
2037
01:54:04,421 --> 01:54:05,714
Ungrateful motherf -
2038
01:54:05,797 --> 01:54:07,048
- Let's go, Honeycutt.
- Yes, sir.
2039
01:54:07,132 --> 01:54:08,133
I'll deal with you next.
2040
01:54:11,136 --> 01:54:13,388
- Don't ever come back no more!
- Yo, man.
2041
01:54:13,930 --> 01:54:15,265
This is bullshit.
2042
01:54:25,775 --> 01:54:28,862
- You a dead motherfucker.
- What did I do, man?
2043
01:54:28,945 --> 01:54:31,239
The clown motherfucker
wanna know what he did, y'all.
2044
01:54:31,322 --> 01:54:34,909
See, that's your goddamn problem.
You know exactly what the fuck you did.
2045
01:54:34,993 --> 01:54:38,496
Negro, you will be executed.
2046
01:54:38,580 --> 01:54:41,708
For what?
For singing and dancing? Come one!
2047
01:54:41,791 --> 01:54:44,461
- I'm just hoofin', man!
- "Just hoofin', man."
2048
01:54:44,544 --> 01:54:46,647
Yo, you're going to be done

and the Dance ofDeath
was about to commence:
2088
01:56:42,036 --> 01:56:45,039
Since a lot of people
still don't have computers,

01:56:45,123 --> 01:56:50,503
the networks sought a court order

They wouldn't dare do that
to white people:

02:03:23,896 --> 02:03:25,314
Maybe they want some dark meat:
2150
02:03:25,398 --> 02:03:27,316
What do you have

2151
02:03:35,658 --> 02:03:37,994

02:03:46,043 --> 02:03:48,713
Don't, Peerless. Don't make me. No!
2155
02:03:48,796 --> 02:03:50,673
Don't come over here.
2156
02:04:03,686 --> 02:04:04,687
Peerless...
2157
02:04:05,896 --> 02:04:08,941
- ... I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
2158
02:04:10,067 --> 02:04:14,155
You never listened to me.
You made me do that.
2159
02:04:18,326 --> 02:04:23,623
As I bled to death,
as my verylife oozed out of me,
2160
02:04:23,706 --> 02:04:28,794
all I could think ofwas something
the great Negro James Baldwin had written:
2161
02:04:29,754 --> 02:04:31,839
"People pay for what they do,"
2162
02:04:32,548 --> 02:04:36,802
and stillmore for what theyhave
allowed themselves to become:
2163
02:04:37,511 --> 02:04:42,224
"And theypay forit very simply
by the lives theylead:"
2164
02:04:42,683 --> 02:04:44,935
Nowit was time forme to buy the farm:
2165
02:04:45,728 --> 02:04:47,688
To meet mymaker:
2166
02:04:47,772 --> 02:04:49,315
Goodbye, cousins:
2167
02:04:49,940 --> 02:04:52,109
Please, tune in next week
2168
02:04:52,193 --> 02:04:58,574
for the best of
Mantan: The New Millennium Minstrel Show:
2169
02:05:00,076 --> 02:05:01,577
Gonna putyourshoes on?
2170
02:05:01,661 --> 02:05:05,873
No, no: Savin'them
in case my feet wear out:
2171
02:05:05,956 --> 02:05:07,875
Well, Mr. Bones, how are you this evening?
2172
02:05:07,958 --> 02:05:09,710
Me?
2173
02:05:09,794 --> 02:05:12,254
L's the personification
of health, Mr. Christie.
2174
02:05:12,338 --> 02:05:15,216
Good. Who was that lady
I saw you with this afternoon?
2175
02:05:15,299 --> 02:05:19,136
That was no lady. That was my wife.
2176
02:05:42,910 --> 02:05:45,329
I'll bust your head.
2177
02:05:46,038 --> 02:05:48,290
Good gracious me.
2178
02:06:09,854 --> 02:06:11,313
Who is that?
2179
02:06:21,991 --> 02:06:26,036
What - what - what?
2180
02:06:27,163 --> 02:06:28,456
What's the matter with you, boy?
2181
02:06:35,629 --> 02:06:37,506
♪ Formymam::: ♪
2182
02:06:37,590 --> 02:06:42,011
♪ Mammy! ♪
2183
02:06:42,094 --> 02:06:44,221
- What was that?
- How would I know?
2184
02:06:44,305 --> 02:06:46,223
Are you ready, Eliza?
2185
02:06:46,640 --> 02:06:48,768
L's ready, Uncle Tom.
2186
02:06:48,851 --> 02:06:51,103
Is you ready, Simon Legree?
2187
02:06:51,187 --> 02:06:52,980
I'm always ready.
2188
02:07:02,698 --> 02:07:04,700
I broke in as a bootblack, you know?
2189
02:07:05,659 --> 02:07:06,660
Here we go.
2190
02:07:10,122 --> 02:07:13,667
For a month and a half, I've been dreaming
how pretty I was going to look tonight.
2191
02:07:14,210 --> 02:07:17,588
Well, here's my punishment
for thinking so well of myself.
2192
02:07:17,671 --> 02:07:20,382
This is tough to put on. And take off.
2193
02:07:23,761 --> 02:07:24,887
You know, you're lucky.
2194
02:07:56,877 --> 02:07:59,380
Hey. Cut them monkeyshines.
2195
02:07:59,463 --> 02:08:00,589
Chicken house?
2196
02:08:01,173 --> 02:08:02,967
- What am I waiting for?
- I don't know.
2197
02:08:03,050 --> 02:08:04,718
Me either. Tallyho.
2198
02:08:08,639 --> 02:08:09,682
Yassa.
2199
02:08:10,182 --> 02:08:12,309
- Yassa, mister.
- Yes, sir.
2200
02:08:12,393 --> 02:08:13,727
Yes, ma'am.
2201
02:08:13,811 --> 02:08:15,062
Yassa, Miss Bellmer.
2202
02:08:15,688 --> 02:08:16,897
Yes, Miss Maggie.
2203
02:08:17,606 --> 02:08:21,569
Brothers, it's certainly
gonna be a lesson to me.
2204
02:08:22,069 --> 02:08:25,573
Maybe
Baldwin was right, maybe he was wrong:
2205
02:08:26,490 --> 02:08:29,201
But, as my father often told me,
2206
02:08:30,327 --> 02:08:32,746
"Always keep 'em laughing:"
