Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,007 --> 00:00:09,975
It's funny... Looking
At all these people.
2
00:00:10,044 --> 00:00:12,089
Have you ever wondered
What makes someone
3
00:00:12,113 --> 00:00:13,979
What they are?
4
00:00:19,487 --> 00:00:22,521
Have you ever wondered why
Russian women look like men?
5
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:26,558
I hadn't noticed.
6
00:00:26,627 --> 00:00:29,661
I think they kidnap men
From all over the world,
7
00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:32,097
Take them to moscow,
8
00:00:32,166 --> 00:00:34,166
And turn them
Into russian women.
9
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:37,469
Do you?
10
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:39,871
That's what I think
Happened to jimmy hoffa.
11
00:00:41,608 --> 00:00:45,043
By now he's probably a
Grandmother in the ukraine.
12
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:50,949
What are you looking at?
13
00:00:51,017 --> 00:00:53,063
There's a man in the building
Over there on the 16th floor
14
00:00:53,087 --> 00:00:55,687
Who's exercising
In the nude again.
15
00:00:55,756 --> 00:00:57,655
- have you seen venus?
- nude?
16
00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:01,225
No. No, just around.
17
00:01:01,295 --> 00:01:04,029
I think he's in the
Bullpen arguing with herb.
18
00:01:04,098 --> 00:01:06,031
- ah.
- or else...
19
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:08,600
He's in russia being
Turned into a ballerina.
20
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:13,038
I'll check the bullpen first.
21
00:01:13,107 --> 00:01:15,007
You cracked a good one.
22
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:16,408
Thanks.
23
00:01:16,477 --> 00:01:18,844
- I'm nuts?
- hey, venus.
24
00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:22,213
We're talking about a
Style, a look, a statement.
25
00:01:22,282 --> 00:01:25,350
Okay, what is that outfit
Supposed to be saying?
26
00:01:25,419 --> 00:01:26,929
- venus...
- hang on, travis.
27
00:01:26,953 --> 00:01:29,232
What is this saying? I'll
Tell you what it's saying.
28
00:01:29,256 --> 00:01:31,589
It's saying, "Trust me.
29
00:01:31,658 --> 00:01:33,958
"Sign my deal.
30
00:01:34,028 --> 00:01:36,061
I know what I'm doing."
31
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:38,030
- hey...
- just a minute.
32
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:41,258
You want to know what it's saying
To me? "Do not adjust your set."
33
00:01:42,969 --> 00:01:46,304
- look, excuse me...
- "Do not adjust your set"?
34
00:01:46,373 --> 00:01:48,840
I thought you black
Guys knew how to dress.
35
00:01:48,909 --> 00:01:51,588
- we do.
- you guys are
Talking about clothes?
36
00:01:51,612 --> 00:01:54,757
- we're discussing looks.
- I waited while you
Argued about clothes?
37
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:56,781
Look, style is
Important, andrew.
38
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:59,050
- clothes, herb?
- you are what you wear.
39
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,959
- you are.
- darn right, boy.
40
00:02:02,156 --> 00:02:05,190
Why don't you make
Him dress better?
41
00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:08,960
Okay. Why don't you loan
Him your pirate outfit?
42
00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:11,363
Travis, I dress like that
Because I'm in show business.
43
00:02:11,432 --> 00:02:13,043
I've got a public to consider.
44
00:02:13,067 --> 00:02:14,766
I don't care. Look,
45
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:17,102
I just got a call
From your public,
46
00:02:17,171 --> 00:02:19,237
A fellow by the name of rick,
47
00:02:19,306 --> 00:02:21,506
Uh, jespersen.
48
00:02:21,575 --> 00:02:24,276
Wants to interview you
For black life magazine.
49
00:02:24,344 --> 00:02:27,056
Wants to talk to you while you're
On the air. I told him to come tonight.
50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,925
- you did?
- yeah. It's okay,
Isn't it?
51
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:31,984
- yeah, I guess so.
- come on, we need some ink.
52
00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:33,830
- what is he gonna ask me?
- I don't know.
53
00:02:33,854 --> 00:02:36,121
He said he wants to do
A piece on black deejays.
54
00:02:36,189 --> 00:02:38,434
- what do you mean?
- what do you mean,
What do I mean?
55
00:02:38,458 --> 00:02:41,860
I think he means
Deejays who are black.
56
00:02:41,928 --> 00:02:43,773
black life magazine's
Pretty militant, andy.
57
00:02:43,797 --> 00:02:45,797
Who should I have
Them talk to? Herb?
58
00:02:47,133 --> 00:02:48,811
No. I can handle it, no problem.
59
00:02:48,835 --> 00:02:50,880
You'll be an inspiration
To black kids everywhere.
60
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:53,849
- how's he gonna do that?
- he's gonna be interviewed
For the press.
61
00:02:53,873 --> 00:02:56,441
Uh-oh. Look out for
Those reporters.
62
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,187
They'll tear you to pieces.
63
00:02:58,211 --> 00:03:01,646
I mean, they already have
Their minds made up, you know?
64
00:03:01,715 --> 00:03:04,582
Then they just come
Right in here and go...
65
00:03:04,651 --> 00:03:06,785
Put the hatchet
Right in your back.
66
00:03:06,854 --> 00:03:09,187
Remember last year,
When I did that tv interview?
67
00:03:09,256 --> 00:03:10,589
They killed me.
68
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:13,658
Yeah, but I'm not
Trying to hide anything.
69
00:03:13,727 --> 00:03:15,727
I wasn't trying
To hide anything.
70
00:03:15,796 --> 00:03:17,607
Come on, herbert. You
Were trying to pretend
71
00:03:17,631 --> 00:03:20,351
- you were something
You were not.
- human.
72
00:03:21,268 --> 00:03:23,601
Hey, in the larger sense,
Aren't we all trying
73
00:03:23,671 --> 00:03:26,538
To pretend to be
Something that we're not?
74
00:03:26,606 --> 00:03:29,440
And in fact, isn't that what
It is that makes us human?
75
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:30,653
Where did you get that speech?
76
00:03:30,677 --> 00:03:32,644
Read it on a t-shirt.

00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:38,083

You know what
Bugs me about herb?
87
00:04:20,727 --> 00:04:22,927
Is this a test?
88
00:04:25,466 --> 00:04:27,711
Sometimes he says stuff
That seems like it makes sense,
89
00:04:27,735 --> 00:04:29,712
And then I realize it's
Herb that's saying it.
90
00:04:29,736 --> 00:04:33,505
Yeah, well, life is hell, pal.
91
00:04:33,574 --> 00:04:36,675
Listen, I hear you're
About to become famous.
92
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:39,477
Yeah. Going to inspire
Black kids all over america.
93
00:04:39,546 --> 00:04:43,715
Oh, listen, why just black kids?
94
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:47,352
Because white kids don't want
To grow up to be black deejays.
95
00:04:47,421 --> 00:04:49,086
I did.
96
00:04:49,156 --> 00:04:51,690
- venus?
- yeah?
97
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:53,992
A writer from black
Life magazine called,
98
00:04:54,061 --> 00:04:55,894
And he will be here at 4:00.
99
00:04:55,963 --> 00:04:57,674
- thank you, bailey.
- mm-hmm.
100
00:04:57,698 --> 00:04:59,097
Oh, um,
101
00:04:59,166 --> 00:05:01,933
Have you guys noticed
How you can't tell
102
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:04,469
What color somebody
Is on the phone?
103
00:05:04,537 --> 00:05:06,704
Yeah, I guess so.
104
00:05:06,773 --> 00:05:08,840
That's right...
Stereotype thinking.
105
00:05:08,909 --> 00:05:11,443
I mean, when I heard
Black life, I was expecting,
106
00:05:11,512 --> 00:05:13,445
"Say, mama, you tell the dude
107
00:05:13,514 --> 00:05:15,580
I'll be here at fo'."
108
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:19,784
But he didn't. He
Sounded just like you.
109
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:23,555
See you later.
110
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:27,503
What does she mean,
Sounded just like me?
111
00:05:27,527 --> 00:05:29,961
I'm black. I can say "Fo'."
112
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:36,001
That's right, kingfish,
You is, and you does,
113
00:05:36,069 --> 00:05:39,670
But the problem is,
You sound neutral.
114
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:41,806
"Neutral"? You mean "White."
115
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:44,475
Well, man, I've heard you say,
116
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:45,989
"Upside your head,"
Stuff like that.
117
00:05:46,013 --> 00:05:47,973
Don't worry. You
Can pass for black.
118
00:05:49,549 --> 00:05:51,527
I don't want to pass for
Black, I want to be black.
119
00:05:51,551 --> 00:05:53,652
What the hell am I saying?
120
00:05:53,721 --> 00:05:56,722
- I don't want to
Do this interview.
- why not?
121
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:58,234
Because, man, these reporters
122
00:05:58,258 --> 00:06:00,325
Come up here with a
Preconceived notion,
123
00:06:00,394 --> 00:06:03,006
And before you know it, they
Put a hatchet in your back.
124
00:06:03,030 --> 00:06:05,496
Who told you that?
125
00:06:05,565 --> 00:06:09,968
Her...
- a guy.
- who?
126
00:06:10,037 --> 00:06:12,370
Just a guy I know.
127
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:15,040
Besides, man, I've been up here
With you white folks so long,
128
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:17,053
I done forgot what
Black america's all about.
129
00:06:17,077 --> 00:06:18,855
All I know is what I
See on the jeffersons.
130
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,446
And that guy's gonna know
That, and he's gonna nail me.
131
00:06:21,515 --> 00:06:23,448
Are you saying
That the jeffersons
132
00:06:23,517 --> 00:06:26,618
Is not an accurate
Portrait of black america?
133
00:06:26,687 --> 00:06:28,620
Yeah, go ahead and joke, man.
134
00:06:28,689 --> 00:06:30,533
I'm the guy that's gonna
Get the hatchet in the back.
135
00:06:30,557 --> 00:06:32,991
Relax, man. I mean,
Just, you know,
136
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:35,460
Talk a lot of jive, run
The dozens on the cat,
137
00:06:35,529 --> 00:06:38,663
And, uh, don't mention your
Slim whitman collection.
138
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:42,634
I don't have any slim
Whitman records!
139
00:06:44,671 --> 00:06:47,305
Just relax, man.
It's not that serious.
140
00:06:47,374 --> 00:06:50,108
Mr. Carlson: venus,
Could I say something?
141
00:06:50,177 --> 00:06:52,176
Yes, mr. Carlson. Where are you?
142
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:54,545
I'm afraid I overheard
Your conversation...
143
00:06:54,614 --> 00:06:57,082
- not meaning to, mind you.
- of course not.
144
00:06:57,151 --> 00:06:59,517
It sounds to me like you're
Worrying too much about color
145
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:01,787
And forgetting the
Most important thing.
146
00:07:01,855 --> 00:07:03,454
Which is?
147
00:07:03,523 --> 00:07:05,590
That you're a fine person
148
00:07:05,659 --> 00:07:08,226
With an interesting
Job, right, john?
149
00:07:08,295 --> 00:07:10,361
It's not that interesting, a.C.
150
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:13,165
- well, you know what I mean.
- thanks, mr. Carlson.
151
00:07:13,233 --> 00:07:15,411
- I hope I could've
Been of some help.
- yes, sir.
152
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:16,946
- excuse me, mr. Carlson.
- hmm?
153
00:07:16,970 --> 00:07:19,871
Could I ask just what you were
Doing in the record library?
154
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:22,707
Hunting for old guy lombardo
Records and smoking dope.
155
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:24,242
Oh.
156
00:07:31,819 --> 00:07:33,017
Nah.
157
00:07:33,086 --> 00:07:34,752
That's ridiculous.
158
00:07:34,821 --> 00:07:37,522
Sure, it is, but you have to
Eat, so let's eat together.
159
00:07:37,591 --> 00:07:39,335
If we were together, I
Don't think I could eat.
160
00:07:39,359 --> 00:07:41,860
You nut.
161
00:07:41,928 --> 00:07:44,763
- herb...
- big guy, I can
Explain everything.
162
00:07:44,832 --> 00:07:46,397
Explain what?
163
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,666
Nothing.
164
00:07:48,735 --> 00:07:51,569
Herb, do you have a client
Coming in here this afternoon?
165
00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:54,839
I sure do, boss... Run
And sun emporiums, 4:00.
166
00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:56,352
What's "Run and sun"?
167
00:07:56,376 --> 00:07:58,488
It's a fascinating new
Idea from california.
168
00:07:58,512 --> 00:08:00,978
Yeah. You know how everyone's
Into this health thing...
169
00:08:01,047 --> 00:08:02,892
You know, running
And looking tan...
170
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:05,383
Well, this place has treadmills
171
00:08:05,452 --> 00:08:08,085
So you can run on 'em
Inside tanning booths.
172
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:09,587
"Run and sun."
173
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:11,500
Get it? It's gonna
Be all over the city.
174
00:08:11,524 --> 00:08:13,624
Do not blow this one, herb.
175
00:08:13,693 --> 00:08:15,960
Big guy, you know
You can trust me.
176
00:08:18,431 --> 00:08:21,499
- you wanted to see me?
- yes, matter of fact, I did.
177
00:08:21,568 --> 00:08:25,170
I want you to impress upon herb how
Important it is that he sign new clients.
178
00:08:25,238 --> 00:08:27,938
Okay. Why don't you
Tell him yourself?
179
00:08:28,007 --> 00:08:29,986
I can do that now
Because herb's here,
180
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:31,821
But he wasn't here
When I sent for you.
181
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:34,311
I was gonna tell you
To tell him. Then I left.
182
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:36,480
Of course, when I got
Back, herb was here,
183
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:39,161
And I couldn't tell him, though,
Because you said that you sent for me,
184
00:08:39,185 --> 00:08:41,225
And I answered you,
And so there you go.
185
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:44,355
So now what?
186
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:46,357
Well, I don't know.
187
00:08:46,426 --> 00:08:48,293
What's going on?
188
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:52,330
Mr. Carlson was just
Explaining nuclear physics to us.
189
00:08:52,398 --> 00:08:54,977
- want to go to lunch?
- no, I can't. I've got to
Go get ready for this interview.
190
00:08:55,001 --> 00:08:57,268
"Get ready"?
What's to get ready?
191
00:08:57,337 --> 00:08:59,037
Mr. Carlson?
192
00:08:59,105 --> 00:09:02,607
Well, I can't. I'm having
Lunch with my minister.
193
00:09:02,675 --> 00:09:04,542
Let's see.
194
00:09:04,611 --> 00:09:08,046
Uh, no, I can't afford you, and I
Can't afford to be seen with herb,
195
00:09:08,115 --> 00:09:10,355
So I guess I'll just forget
About lunch altogether.
196
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:24,273
Jennifer...
197
00:09:24,297 --> 00:09:26,231
How long have
You been behind me?
198
00:09:26,299 --> 00:09:29,500
All my life.
199
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:31,903
Are you familiar with the term
200
00:09:31,972 --> 00:09:34,672
"Mercy lunch"?
201
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:46,985
I can't believe
You're really here!
202
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:49,487
Just calm down, herb,
And try not to leer.
203
00:09:49,555 --> 00:09:52,923
Oh, but this-this-this...
This is wonderful.
204
00:09:52,993 --> 00:09:54,070
- herb?
- yeah?
205
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:57,228
- your tie is on the table.
- whoops.
206
00:09:57,297 --> 00:09:58,629
Oh, boy.
207
00:09:58,698 --> 00:10:02,299
Everybody is seeing
Me eating with you.
208
00:10:02,368 --> 00:10:06,370
I come here all the time. I know
These peop... I know these people.
209
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:08,673
Herb, just be careful.
210
00:10:08,741 --> 00:10:11,276
- I don't...
- oh, herb!
211
00:10:11,345 --> 00:10:12,810
Oh!
212
00:10:18,352 --> 00:10:22,954
It's all... It's
All... It's all right.
213
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:24,889
No problemo.
214
00:10:37,103 --> 00:10:39,437
This is my best outfit, though.
215
00:10:39,505 --> 00:10:42,974
I... It is?
216
00:10:46,846 --> 00:10:50,281
Look, can I ask you something?
217
00:10:50,350 --> 00:10:52,517
Okay.
218
00:10:54,955 --> 00:10:57,521
I know this is gonna
Sound kind of weird to you,
219
00:10:57,591 --> 00:11:01,292
But, uh, lately I've
Been thinking that...
220
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,828
Well, that people have
Been laughing at me.
221
00:11:06,065 --> 00:11:07,376
- really?
- mm-hmm.
222
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,668
I know, I know, it doesn't
Make a bit of sense,
223
00:11:10,736 --> 00:11:14,105
But somehow
224
00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:17,442
I think they find my
Clothes a little funny.
225
00:11:19,713 --> 00:11:21,913
Now, I spend a lot
Of money on clothes.
226
00:11:21,981 --> 00:11:24,782
I mean, I try to
Make a statement.
227
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:26,451
What do you think?
228
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,919
- how can I put this?
- put what?
229
00:11:28,988 --> 00:11:30,666
Mr. Tarmac, your check.
230
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:32,090
Tarlek.
231
00:11:33,893 --> 00:11:36,194
It's really been
Nice having you here.
232
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:39,530
- thank you.
- the guys in the...
233
00:11:39,599 --> 00:11:41,966
The guys in the kitchen say hi.
234
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:44,535
Hi back.
235
00:11:44,603 --> 00:11:46,504
Let's keep it moving, okay?
236
00:11:46,572 --> 00:11:48,305
Yes, sir.
237
00:11:49,842 --> 00:11:51,909
Do you know what you need?
238
00:11:51,978 --> 00:11:55,613
Sure, I do, but you
Keep turning me down.
239
00:11:56,983 --> 00:12:01,518
You need a new image,
A whole new look.
240
00:12:01,587 --> 00:12:04,688
Not that you need
A new look so much,
241
00:12:04,757 --> 00:12:08,058
But change is always
Exciting, don't you think?
242
00:12:08,128 --> 00:12:10,194
And I think I am the person
243
00:12:10,263 --> 00:12:12,763
To give you a new image.
244
00:12:12,832 --> 00:12:14,866
I've waited for this.
245
00:12:16,503 --> 00:12:18,636
I'm talking about your wardrobe.
246
00:12:18,705 --> 00:12:20,905
Now, I know a wonderful
Tailor near here.
247
00:12:20,974 --> 00:12:23,407
I'm going to redo you
248
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:25,276
Just like I redid the lobby.
249
00:12:25,311 --> 00:12:27,478
You're gonna look
Great. What do you say?
250
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:32,216
As long as I don't
Look like a room.
251
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:33,563
Come on, let's go.
252
00:12:33,587 --> 00:12:35,353
All right.
253
00:12:35,422 --> 00:12:38,689
I want everybody to
See me leaving with you,
254
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:42,193
Walking out on my arm like this.
255
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:45,096
This is my proudest moment.
256
00:12:56,976 --> 00:12:58,743
Lady and gentlemen,
257
00:12:58,811 --> 00:13:02,079
I would like to present
My latest creation.
258
00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:05,516
Introducing the
New h.R. Tarlek jr.
259
00:13:07,587 --> 00:13:09,687
That's right.
260
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:16,628
Really good, jennifer.
It's very lifelike.
261
00:13:19,432 --> 00:13:21,332
Well, what do you think?
262
00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:24,268
My, my, my. I can
Hardly breathe.
263
00:13:24,337 --> 00:13:27,905
Why, mr. Tarlek, have you
Been lunching at the club?
264
00:13:27,974 --> 00:13:31,508
Why, you are enough to make a
Poor girl just swoon right away.
265
00:13:32,745 --> 00:13:35,914
I, uh, do look
Rather good, don't I?
266
00:13:35,982 --> 00:13:37,982
Is he programmed for polo?
267
00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:43,788
What's happenin'?
268
00:13:46,459 --> 00:13:49,193
Are you earth, wind, or fire?
269
00:13:51,297 --> 00:13:54,232
I'm fire, baby, 'cause
Women seek the heat.
270
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:57,635
It's interesting. It's a cultural
Myth you're not denying.
271
00:13:57,703 --> 00:14:00,237
- 'cause that one's true.
- whoa.
272
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:04,041
Didn't I see you on
Let's make a deal?
273
00:14:04,110 --> 00:14:06,244
New threads, huh?
274
00:14:06,312 --> 00:14:08,246
- you like?
- yeah, I do.
275
00:14:08,314 --> 00:14:10,848
- jennifer dressed me.
- she's good.
276
00:14:12,452 --> 00:14:13,929
Tell me about it.
277
00:14:13,953 --> 00:14:15,431
We had lunch together.
278
00:14:15,455 --> 00:14:17,588
Man, you are working out.
279
00:14:17,656 --> 00:14:19,496
Well, there are several things
280
00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:21,492
I still have to work on.
281
00:14:21,561 --> 00:14:24,128
Uh, you know, minor things,
Like a new personality,
282
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:27,698
But I'm coming along,
Right, jennifer?
283
00:14:27,766 --> 00:14:29,801
Right.
284
00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:32,303
Oh, and, uh, before I leave
285
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:34,305
To visit a new client,
286
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:37,008
I want you to know that
Reaganomics is working.
287
00:14:37,077 --> 00:14:40,178
It's, uh, "Supply
Side" economics,
288
00:14:40,247 --> 00:14:42,546
Not "Trickle down,"
And we wouldn't dream
289
00:14:42,615 --> 00:14:44,916
Of taking all the money
Out of social programs
290
00:14:44,985 --> 00:14:48,052
And giving it to big business.
291
00:14:48,121 --> 00:14:50,755
- how's that?
- a little too good, herb.
292
00:14:53,460 --> 00:14:55,027
I don't care how
Militant this interview is
293
00:14:55,051 --> 00:14:56,605
Gonna be, I'm gonna
Come out looking good.
294
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:59,163
In your roots suit
From monsanto.
295
00:15:07,106 --> 00:15:09,040
Gentlemen, good
Afternoon to you.
296
00:15:09,109 --> 00:15:12,610
Hey, herb. Who are
You trying to fool?
297
00:15:12,678 --> 00:15:17,248
I am going to fool the
Whole world, travis.
298
00:15:17,317 --> 00:15:18,616
Watch me.
299
00:15:18,685 --> 00:15:20,162
Were there any calls for me?
300
00:15:20,186 --> 00:15:21,863
Oh, just president reagan.
301
00:15:21,887 --> 00:15:23,767
Ronnie? I wonder what he wanted.
302
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:28,992
- I was just kidding.
- oh.
303
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:31,062
You don't know the
President, do you?
304
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:33,698
Of course not.
305
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:36,166
May I help you?
306
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:39,970
I'm ted jeffries,
555-4212. Call me. I mean it.
307
00:15:41,974 --> 00:15:43,908
I'm here to see herb tarlek.
308
00:15:43,977 --> 00:15:46,243
Hello, ted. How finally nice
309
00:15:46,312 --> 00:15:48,245
To meet you face to face.
310
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:50,259
Damn sporting of you
To drop by like this.
311
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:51,760
Beautiful place you got here.
312
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:54,952
- yes, indeed. Can we chat in here?
- yeah.
313
00:15:55,021 --> 00:15:58,155
Can I get you a refreshment
Of some sort? Tea, perhaps?
314
00:15:58,224 --> 00:16:00,391
Are you american?
315
00:16:06,165 --> 00:16:09,100
And finally, this reporter
Joins the world press
316
00:16:09,169 --> 00:16:11,102
In congratulating
The royal couple
317
00:16:11,171 --> 00:16:13,738
On the upcoming
Birth of their child.
318
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:17,241
We'll be watching the
Dates very carefully.
319
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:20,545
That's all the news and
Then some, up to the minute.
320
00:16:20,613 --> 00:16:24,415
Stay tuned now for venus
Flytrap and the music.
321
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:26,818
Thanks, les.
322
00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:29,220
Welcome, people,
And stay with me,
323
00:16:29,288 --> 00:16:32,390
While I take you home with a
Little help from bob marley.
324
00:16:32,459 --> 00:16:34,425
He'll always be with us.
325
00:16:36,128 --> 00:16:37,795
Take off, les.
326
00:16:37,864 --> 00:16:39,564
Why?
327
00:16:39,632 --> 00:16:42,767
Les, there's a guy coming up
Here from a black magazine.
328
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:45,681
I don't want you around, explaining
The black experience to him.
329
00:16:45,705 --> 00:16:47,905
Well, you've always let me chat
330
00:16:47,974 --> 00:16:50,241
With your black friends before.
331
00:16:50,309 --> 00:16:52,110
I enjoy it.
332
00:16:52,178 --> 00:16:54,478
Notice I didn't say "Negro."
333
00:16:56,082 --> 00:16:57,748
Oh, les, please?
334
00:16:57,817 --> 00:16:59,695
I'm a little nervous
About this, man.
335
00:16:59,719 --> 00:17:02,019
black life magazine
Is really hard-hitting.
336
00:17:02,088 --> 00:17:04,433
I mean, they're into
Being black. I mean, into it.
337
00:17:04,457 --> 00:17:06,134
Understand what I'm saying?
338
00:17:06,158 --> 00:17:08,059
No, I don't, venus,
339
00:17:08,127 --> 00:17:11,229
But I can see you're upset, so
I'll do what you say and leave.
340
00:17:11,297 --> 00:17:13,064
Thanks, les.
341
00:17:13,132 --> 00:17:15,566
It's always a pleasure
To help a friend.
342
00:17:16,903 --> 00:17:19,837
- especially a black friend.
- get out of here!
343
00:17:27,981 --> 00:17:30,681
Rick, this is venus.
344
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:33,251
- hey, bro, what's happenin'?
- hey, blood, what it is...
345
00:17:35,087 --> 00:17:38,522
- who's this dude?
- that's rick jespersen.
346
00:17:38,591 --> 00:17:41,470
- you're not black.
- no. I work for
A black magazine.
347
00:17:41,494 --> 00:17:43,327
- you do?
- uh-huh.
348
00:17:43,395 --> 00:17:45,897
Well, I'll see you guys
Later. Have a good interview.
349
00:17:45,965 --> 00:17:47,832
- thank you.
- thank you.
350
00:17:49,803 --> 00:17:51,883
I've really been
Looking forward to this.
351
00:17:51,938 --> 00:17:54,238
- me too.
- thanks.
352
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:56,385
I tell you, thought, you
Kind of threw me there.
353
00:17:56,409 --> 00:17:58,943
- I'm sorry.
- I didn't know you'd be white.
354
00:17:59,011 --> 00:18:01,345
I thought this was
A black station.
355
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:03,659
- it's a white station.
- I'm white. My magazine's black.
356
00:18:03,683 --> 00:18:06,361
- I'm black.
- we're an equal-
Opportunity employer.
357
00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:08,664
- same here.
- we're pretty militant
About it too.
358
00:18:08,688 --> 00:18:10,054
Me. Too.
359
00:18:10,122 --> 00:18:12,690
- well, good. Let's talk.
- about what?
360
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:15,471
- how about race?
- I don't think
That much about it.
361
00:18:15,495 --> 00:18:17,795
- me neither.
- have a seat.
362
00:18:17,864 --> 00:18:19,597
Thank you.
363
00:18:23,702 --> 00:18:26,036
You know, I think
One of the great
364
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:28,239
Follies of advertising is this
365
00:18:28,307 --> 00:18:30,441
Trend toward tastelessness.
366
00:18:36,149 --> 00:18:38,415
Do you realize that
The last business I was in
367
00:18:38,484 --> 00:18:40,284
Was made illegal?
368
00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:43,988
I'm a slime-bucket.
I'm tasteless. I like it.
369
00:18:45,090 --> 00:18:46,690
Hello?
370
00:18:49,328 --> 00:18:51,648
Excuse me a minute. I'll be
With you in just a second.
371
00:18:54,234 --> 00:18:56,534
All right. We're
Headed into the evening.
372
00:18:56,602 --> 00:18:58,569
It's 35 degrees, my children.
373
00:18:58,638 --> 00:19:00,949
Tonight's gonna be kind of
Slippery, so drive carefully.
374
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:03,807
This is wkrp with venus.
375
00:19:03,876 --> 00:19:06,043
And "Love is on the rise,"
376
00:19:06,111 --> 00:19:08,690
Brought to you by the pride
Of atlanta, mr. Peabo bryson.
377
00:19:12,952 --> 00:19:14,117
You were saying?
378
00:19:14,187 --> 00:19:16,587
Oh, I was saying,
I'm the only person
379
00:19:16,656 --> 00:19:18,955
Of another color
At the magazine.
380
00:19:19,024 --> 00:19:20,802
Do you have any
Idea what it's like
381
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:22,726
To be that much in the minority?
382
00:19:22,795 --> 00:19:25,229
Must be rough.
383
00:19:25,298 --> 00:19:28,132
Oh, it is. See, we're still
Fairly small in the market...
384
00:19:28,201 --> 00:19:30,067
Somewhere in the middle.
385
00:19:30,136 --> 00:19:32,602
The place is really
Screwed up, actually,
386
00:19:32,671 --> 00:19:34,631
But it's still a
Nice place to work.
387
00:19:34,673 --> 00:19:38,843
We're privately owned. We're
Run by this great, kindhearted guy...
388
00:19:38,911 --> 00:19:41,979
Well, his mother
Actually owns the thing.
389
00:19:44,017 --> 00:19:46,250
But we're all loyal to him.
390
00:19:46,318 --> 00:19:48,419
For me it's kind
Of weird, though,
391
00:19:48,487 --> 00:19:50,755
Everybody being one
Color and me being another.
392
00:19:50,823 --> 00:19:52,200
It gets in the way sometimes.
393
00:19:52,224 --> 00:19:54,291
I'll bet.
394
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,338
Like, we've got a couple of
Really good-looking girls
395
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:59,296
At the magazine,
But what can I do?
396
00:19:59,364 --> 00:20:02,833
Whenever I'm around them, I feel like I
Always have to be careful, you know?
397
00:20:02,902 --> 00:20:04,735
I'll be darned.
398
00:20:07,173 --> 00:20:09,118
I feel funny when I put
My hand on their shoulder.
399
00:20:09,142 --> 00:20:11,375
I mean, that kind of thing.
400
00:20:11,444 --> 00:20:13,677
Anyway, the point is,
401
00:20:13,745 --> 00:20:16,947
I've really gotten to
Know and love these people,
402
00:20:17,016 --> 00:20:19,350
And I realize... And I
Know this is a cliche...
403
00:20:19,418 --> 00:20:22,097
But I realize that people are
People and you are who you are,
404
00:20:22,121 --> 00:20:24,099
And you link yourself
To people you love,
405
00:20:24,123 --> 00:20:27,057
No matter what you
Are or what they are.
406
00:20:27,126 --> 00:20:29,393
Anyway, enough about me.
407
00:20:29,462 --> 00:20:31,828
Let's talk about you.
408
00:20:33,266 --> 00:20:35,700
Well, we're still
409
00:20:35,768 --> 00:20:38,736
A pretty small market,
Somewhere in the middle.
410
00:20:38,805 --> 00:20:42,573
Uh, the place is pretty screwed
Up, but it's a nice place to work.
411
00:20:42,641 --> 00:20:44,787
We're still privately
Owned, but we're run by
412
00:20:44,811 --> 00:20:47,244
A great, kindhearted guy.
413
00:20:47,313 --> 00:20:48,512
Uh-huh.
414
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:51,281
You ever write away
For a slim whitman album?
415
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:54,752
Why don't you sip your tea
416
00:20:54,821 --> 00:20:57,221
And sell your time
To gucci or somebody?
417
00:20:57,289 --> 00:20:58,867
Ted, baby, just wait a minute.
418
00:20:58,891 --> 00:21:02,193
Deep down inside, I'm just
Like you... Worse, even.
419
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:03,981
You're too fancy for me.
420
00:21:04,029 --> 00:21:05,940
You don't understand
The needs of a guy like me.
421
00:21:05,964 --> 00:21:09,166
I need to talk to a salesman
Who'll talk my language.
422
00:21:09,234 --> 00:21:11,113
No, no, no, no. You don't
Understand. It's just the clothes.
423
00:21:11,137 --> 00:21:12,936
Look, look, look.
424
00:21:13,005 --> 00:21:16,339
Come back tomorrow, and I'll have
A suit on that'll make you airsick.
425
00:21:16,408 --> 00:21:18,475
I mean, trust me.
426
00:21:18,544 --> 00:21:21,111
Yeah, now he's
Talking down to me.
427
00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:23,047
What do you think, I'm stupid?
428
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:26,395
What's with you harvard types with
Your little crocodiles on your shirts?
429
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:28,919
I don't need you.
430
00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:32,223
I need you. 555-4212.
Call me. I mean it.
431
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:34,859
Ted, I'm just a mistake.
432
00:21:34,927 --> 00:21:37,528
Herb, can I have
My office back now?
433
00:21:37,597 --> 00:21:38,895
Yes, sir.
434
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:42,065
I think you look nice, herb.
435
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:44,801
Thank you.
436
00:21:48,774 --> 00:21:51,509
Well? What now?
437
00:21:51,577 --> 00:21:53,511
Call on the
Advertising agencies.
438
00:21:53,579 --> 00:21:55,646
They like people
Who dress like that.
439
00:21:55,714 --> 00:21:57,059
They already know me.
440
00:21:57,083 --> 00:21:59,249
Show them the new you.
441
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:02,753
They already loathe me.
442
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:04,989
Oh.
443
00:22:05,057 --> 00:22:12,028
Then, herb, you are
Right and I am wrong.
444
00:22:13,365 --> 00:22:14,764
Yeah?
445
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:17,667
Yeah.
446
00:22:17,736 --> 00:22:19,714
And I want you to
Remember this moment,
447
00:22:19,738 --> 00:22:22,306
Because its never
Going to happen again.
448
00:22:22,375 --> 00:22:25,309
You are right because
You know your clients
449
00:22:25,378 --> 00:22:27,478
And territory better than I do.
450
00:22:27,546 --> 00:22:29,846
Therefore, you know better
How to present yourself.
451
00:22:29,915 --> 00:22:32,016
I am wrong because I don't know
452
00:22:32,084 --> 00:22:33,962
The kind of people
You associate with
453
00:22:33,986 --> 00:22:35,986
And probably never will.
454
00:22:38,791 --> 00:22:41,925
Now, I want you to go
Down into the garage,
455
00:22:41,994 --> 00:22:43,605
Look at all the cars,
456
00:22:43,629 --> 00:22:46,669
Pick out the seat covers you
Like best, and wear them home.
457
00:22:49,801 --> 00:22:51,535
Thanks, jennifer.
458
00:22:51,603 --> 00:22:53,515
And they all say,
"You're a pretty nice guy."
459
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:56,017
What they don't say is, "For a
White guy." you know what I mean?
460
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:58,175
- yeah.
- one last thing.
461
00:22:58,244 --> 00:23:02,012
Don't you feel silly
Dressed like that?
462
00:23:02,081 --> 00:23:04,014
Yeah, just a little.
463
00:23:04,083 --> 00:23:07,151
All the hip dudes down at the
Magazine dress like that guy.
464
00:23:11,357 --> 00:23:13,023
- see you.
- yeah.
465
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:18,695
Uh, how'd your interview go?
466
00:23:18,764 --> 00:23:20,742
Ah, okay. He talked
About himself, mostly.
467
00:23:20,766 --> 00:23:24,301
- he's got an identity crisis.
- yeah, same here.
468
00:23:24,369 --> 00:23:25,969
Me too.
469
00:23:26,038 --> 00:23:28,358
I wonder if slim whitman
Has anything to do with this.
470
00:23:34,313 --> 00:23:37,214
Uh, what about you?
471
00:23:37,283 --> 00:23:39,717
Did you ever have
An identity crisis?
472
00:23:39,785 --> 00:23:41,951
I don't think so.
473
00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:43,753
Yeah, I guess not.
474
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:48,959
Although sometimes,
Just for a second,
475
00:23:49,027 --> 00:23:52,463
I think I'm perhaps
Mentally unbalanced,
476
00:23:52,531 --> 00:23:55,131
Because all I think about
477
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,035
Are men... Any man,
478
00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:01,805
As long as he's well-dressed.
479
00:24:01,874 --> 00:24:06,443
And I just want to, you know,
480
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:10,381
Be with him.
481
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:13,417
But then it goes
Away. It always does.
482
00:24:20,159 --> 00:24:21,992
Knock on wood.
