Bonjour. My name is Pierre Delacroix.
15
00:01:23,501 --> 00:01:27,505
I am a television writer.
A creative person.
16
00:01:28,590 --> 00:01:34,345
I'm one of those people responsible
for what you view on your idiot box.
17
00:01:35,388 --> 00:01:36,639
The problem is...
18

not enough of you have been
watching out there, Television Land.

00:01:52,447 --> 00:01:56,576
our valued audience
has dramatically eroded.
22
00:01:57,577 --> 00:02:00,413
To put it in much simpler terms,
23
00:02:00,497 --> 00:02:04,375
like rats fleeing from a sinking ship,
24
00:02:05,627 --> 00:02:08,546

He went to Juilliard,

00:03:09,691 --> 00:03:12,277
I gave him his first break. My partner.
36
00:03:15,113 --> 00:03:16,656
Don't hurt 'em. Don't hurt 'em.
37
00:03:26,207 --> 00:03:27,292
Let me shine 'em up.
38
00:03:35,425 --> 00:03:36,593
Wind it up, baby. Wind it up.
39
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:42,724
What?
40
00:03:43,349 --> 00:03:46,102
Now, before you go,
don't forget to give us that cheese.
41
00:03:46,185 --> 00:03:49,772
That M-O-N-E. Y?
Because we broke. What's up?
42
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:53,526
Thank you very much. Bless you.
Thank you, thank you.
43
00:03:56,112 --> 00:03:58,072
Thank you. Great. There you go.
44
00:03:58,156 --> 00:03:59,949
Bless you from the bottom
of your heart, baby.

Big Dela!

00:04:01,117 --> 00:04:02,493
Hey!

00:04:02,577 --> 00:04:03,828
It's the Dela man!
48
00:04:04,203 --> 00:04:07,790
There you go with the suits again.
I like that. I like that.
49
00:04:07,874 --> 00:04:08,875
Good morning, Womack.
50
00:04:08,958 --> 00:04:11,085
What's happening, man?
Looks like you're going to the Essence.
51
00:04:11,169 --> 00:04:12,462
- I like the suit, though.
- Yes.
52
00:04:12,545 --> 00:04:14,047
- It's pretty nice.
- Thank you.
53
00:04:14,130 --> 00:04:15,965
Hey, man, why don't you help me
and Manray out, man?
54
00:04:16,049 --> 00:04:17,383
I mean, we're out here
trying to get some work.
55
00:04:17,467 --> 00:04:19,177
You work for the network.
I mean, what's up?
56
00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:21,054
Um, I'll — I'll work on something.
57
00:04:21,846 --> 00:04:25,516
You know, Sloan says you're too talented
to be out here dancing in the street.
58
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,393
Oh, word? Why don't you tell Sloan
to come see me?
59
00:04:27,936 --> 00:04:28,937
I'll do that.
60
00:04:29,020 --> 00:04:30,021
Good day, gentlemen.
61
00:04:31,522 --> 00:04:33,316
"I'll do that." What is he,
a damn magician?
62
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:36,069
Help us out, you work for one
of the biggest networks in the country.
63
00:04:38,488 --> 00:04:40,615
I saw somebody put a ten up in here.
Check it.
64
00:04:40,698 --> 00:04:43,076
Whoo. Here we go.
One for you, three for me.
65
00:04:43,159 --> 00:04:45,328
You the feet, I'm the brains.
Told you, boy.
66
00:04:45,411 --> 00:04:46,496
Yeah, baby.
67
00:04:46,996 --> 00:04:49,165
You have a grand day.
68
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:51,876
Good morning, Steve.
69
00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:54,712
Hello, Margaret.
70
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:58,341
Bartholomew.
71
00:04:58,967 --> 00:05:00,009
Kip!
72
00:05:00,927 --> 00:05:02,095
Hey, Jarma.
73
00:05:03,721 --> 00:05:05,390
...18 to 49-year-old audience.
74
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:07,725
Do you understand? It's pretty —
75
00:05:09,769 --> 00:05:11,312
Monsieur Delacroix.
76
00:05:12,981 --> 00:05:14,440
- Hello.
- Good morning.
77
00:05:15,191 --> 00:05:18,528
This very important staff meeting
commenced exactly...
78
00:05:19,404 --> 00:05:20,989
32 minutes ago.
79
00:05:21,072 --> 00:05:22,991
My apologies around the room
for my tardi —
80
00:05:23,074 --> 00:05:27,078
Do you have any idea how much information
can be dispensed in one minute alone?
81
00:05:27,161 --> 00:05:30,623
Sir, had I been informed
of this very important staff meeting,
82
00:05:30,707 --> 00:05:32,917
I would have canceled
my Pilates session this morning.
83
00:05:33,001 --> 00:05:34,377
However, I did not find out about it —
84
00:05:34,460 --> 00:05:37,005
So you're telling me
that everyone in the room
85
00:05:37,088 --> 00:05:39,298
knew about this little get-together
except for you.
86
00:05:39,382 --> 00:05:40,383
Marie said that —
87
00:05:40,466 --> 00:05:42,176
People, you can attempt
to pull a Rodman
88
00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:44,220
like our friend Delacroix,
89
00:05:44,303 --> 00:05:47,056
but I guarantee you'll be sent packing,
just like him.
90
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:49,892
These are the ratings, people.
Read 'em and weep.
91
00:05:51,728 --> 00:05:52,895
As you can plainly see,
92
00:05:52,979 --> 00:05:55,606
the Continental Network System
is languishing.
93
00:05:55,690 --> 00:05:58,860
Look at 'em, people.
Look at 'em very closely.
94
00:05:59,694 --> 00:06:00,695
We are booty.
95
00:06:01,237 --> 00:06:02,238
Caca.
96
00:06:02,780 --> 00:06:03,823
We are doo-doo.
97
00:06:03,906 --> 00:06:07,910
I don't like to be the laughingstock
of the entire broadcast industry.
98
00:06:07,994 --> 00:06:10,913
I don't like to have these pricks
who call themselves my bosses
99
00:06:10,997 --> 00:06:12,165
breathing down my back.
100
00:06:12,248 --> 00:06:13,708
It makes me sweat.
101
00:06:13,791 --> 00:06:17,670
These numbers are totally unacceptable.
These numbers have to go up.
102
00:06:20,381 --> 00:06:21,382
Question?
103
00:06:22,008 --> 00:06:23,634
So what do you want us to do?
104
00:06:23,718 --> 00:06:25,178
Dumb-ass question.
105
00:06:25,261 --> 00:06:28,931
What — what I want you to do
is to write some material that is funny.
106
00:06:29,015 --> 00:06:32,727
The material that you've been writing
is about as funny as a dead baby.
107
00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:35,813
It's not dope.
It's not new. It's not sexy.
108
00:06:35,897 --> 00:06:37,398
- It —
- It sucks.
109
00:06:37,482 --> 00:06:38,941
Thank you, Fish. It sucks.
110
00:06:39,859 --> 00:06:41,360
Look, this meeting is over.
111
00:06:41,944 --> 00:06:43,654
But I want you to think
about what I just said
112
00:06:43,738 --> 00:06:44,739
and how you can deliver.
113
00:06:45,448 --> 00:06:46,532
Otherwise, I promise you,
114
00:06:46,616 --> 00:06:49,202
things are gonna start getting very grim
around here.
115
00:06:49,619 --> 00:06:51,079
Monsieur Delacroix.
116
00:06:51,496 --> 00:06:53,664
Can I see you in my office now, please?
117
00:06:54,957 --> 00:06:55,958
- Yes.
- Psst.
118
00:06:56,042 --> 00:06:58,211
Seeing that you're
all stretched out and shit.
119
00:06:58,294 --> 00:07:01,339
Sloan, why didn't I know
about this very important staff meeting?
120
00:07:01,422 --> 00:07:04,509
Nobody sent me an e-mail,
I didn't have a memo, I-I —
121
00:07:04,592 --> 00:07:06,677
What good are you
if I don't know about these things?
122
00:07:06,761 --> 00:07:09,222
Well, it — it wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault.
123
00:07:09,305 --> 00:07:10,431
I was embarrassed.
124
00:07:10,515 --> 00:07:11,516
- I —
- Hey, Chuckie.
125
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:12,600
Hey. Um...
126
00:07:13,184 --> 00:07:14,936
- But if I don't know, how —
- Humiliated.
127
00:07:15,019 --> 00:07:16,896
But if I don't know,
how are you gonna know?
128
00:07:17,772 --> 00:07:20,817
You know what? It's unacceptable.
And it better never happen again.
129
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:22,944
Do you know what CP Time is?
130
00:07:23,027 --> 00:07:24,028
CP Time.
131
00:07:24,987 --> 00:07:26,948
CP Time is Colored People's Time.
132
00:07:27,365 --> 00:07:30,284
The stereotypical belief
that Negroes are always late,
133
00:07:30,827 --> 00:07:33,204
that Negroes have no sense of time.
134
00:07:33,287 --> 00:07:36,040
Time, except when it comes
to music or dance,
135
00:07:36,124 --> 00:07:37,708
then you can set your watch to them.
136
00:07:38,167 --> 00:07:41,045
I'm sorry about my blowup.
137
00:07:41,796 --> 00:07:44,841
- Hey, it's okay. I understand.
- Listen, let's sit down.
138
00:07:45,550 --> 00:07:49,720
Look, I know you're the most
creative person I've got on staff.
139
00:07:50,263 --> 00:07:52,515
I mean, you're hip,
you know what's happening.
140
00:07:53,015 --> 00:07:55,726
I've got a bunch of pasty-ass white boys
and girls writing for me.
141
00:07:55,810 --> 00:07:56,978
You know what I mean?
142
00:07:57,061 --> 00:07:59,397
You know, I grew up around black people
my whole life.
143
00:07:59,772 --> 00:08:02,900
I mean, if the truth be told,
I probably know niggers better than you.
144
00:08:02,984 --> 00:08:07,405
And don't go getting offended
by my use of the "N-word."
145
00:08:07,488 --> 00:08:10,867
I have a black wife and two biracial kids,
so I feel I have a right.
146
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:13,494
I don't give a goddamn
what that prick Spike Lee says.
147
00:08:13,578 --> 00:08:16,372
Tarantino was right.
Nigger is just a word.
148
00:08:16,455 --> 00:08:19,625
If old dirty bastard can use it
every other word, why can't I?
149
00:08:19,709 --> 00:08:23,462
Well, I would prefer if you did not use
that word in my presence.
150
00:08:23,546 --> 00:08:24,547
Oh, really?
151
00:08:26,424 --> 00:08:28,759
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger.
152
00:08:30,011 --> 00:08:32,138
Whitey, whitey, whitey, whitey!
153
00:08:32,221 --> 00:08:35,808
The material you've been writing for me,
it's too white-bread.
154
00:08:35,892 --> 00:08:38,227
It's white people with black faces.
155
00:08:38,311 --> 00:08:41,147
The Huxtables, Cosby,
a genius, revolutionary.
156
00:08:41,230 --> 00:08:42,857
Theo, Lisa Bonet, dope.
157
00:08:43,232 --> 00:08:45,818
- But we can't go down that road again.
- I disagree.
158
00:08:45,902 --> 00:08:48,070
The Negro middle class does exist,
159
00:08:48,154 --> 00:08:51,949
and it's fertile ground
for a dramatic series or even a sitcom.
160
00:08:52,033 --> 00:08:53,951
Look at this stuff I'm having to read.
161
00:08:55,161 --> 00:08:56,162
A...
162
00:08:56,245 --> 00:09:01,417
A black family moves in
to a white middle-class suburban enclave.
163
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:02,585
This is shit.
164
00:09:03,753 --> 00:09:07,632
A black girl is adopted
by some chink American family?
165
00:09:07,715 --> 00:09:09,258
- They were Polynesian.
- Yeah.
166
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:15,765
A black headmaster is hired at some
old-money, crusty Eastern boarding school.
167
00:09:15,848 --> 00:09:19,644
Garbage. It's too clean,
it's too antiseptic,
168
00:09:19,727 --> 00:09:21,270
- it's too —
- White.
169
00:09:21,354 --> 00:09:24,148
Delacroix, wake up, brother man.
170
00:09:24,232 --> 00:09:26,192
The reason why these shows
didn't get picked up
171
00:09:26,275 --> 00:09:29,237
is because nobody,
and I mean no-motherfuckin'-body,
172
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,822
niggers and crackers alike,
wants to see that junk.
173
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,866
People want to be entertained.
174
00:09:33,950 --> 00:09:37,328
The reason why it didn't get picked up
is because no one gave it a chance.
175
00:09:37,411 --> 00:09:39,622
Oh, really? No one gave them a chance?
176
00:09:40,331 --> 00:09:42,583
You — you got your head
stuck so far up your ass
177
00:09:42,667 --> 00:09:46,420
with your Harvard education
and your bullshit pretentious buppie ways.
178
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:48,714
Brother man, I'm blacker than you.
179
00:09:49,257 --> 00:09:52,468
I'm keeping it real.
I'm 'bout it, 'bout it. I got the roll.
180
00:09:52,551 --> 00:09:54,470
You're just frontin' tryin' to be white.
181
00:09:55,221 --> 00:09:57,223
- I'm an Oreo.
- Yeah!
182
00:09:57,306 --> 00:09:58,307
- A sellout.
- Yeah!
183
00:09:58,391 --> 00:10:02,603
'Cause I don't aspire to do
some Homeboys from Outer Space,
184
00:10:02,687 --> 00:10:04,689
The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer,
185
00:10:04,772 --> 00:10:07,358
- or, as you may put it, some nigger show?
- That's —
186
00:10:07,441 --> 00:10:10,069
- Is that what you think?
- Yes. That's exactly what I think.
187
00:10:10,152 --> 00:10:14,448
You and I know that black people
set the trends, set the styles.
188
00:10:14,532 --> 00:10:16,826
This is a golden opportunity for CNS,
189
00:10:16,909 --> 00:10:18,869
but these idiots
have to be led to the water.
190
00:10:18,953 --> 00:10:20,288
We could do this together.
191
00:10:20,371 --> 00:10:22,498
I want a show that will make headlines.
192
00:10:22,581 --> 00:10:24,250
I want millions and millions of viewers
193
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:27,044
tuned and glued
to their fucking televisions every week
194
00:10:27,128 --> 00:10:30,423
saying, "Did you see what the fuck
they were doing on CNS last night?"
195
00:10:30,965 --> 00:10:34,427
I want advertisers sucking my dick
to buy on this show. You understand?
196
00:10:34,510 --> 00:10:36,554
And I'm gonna squeeze it out of you
if it kills you.
197
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:39,557
Peep this. Peep this.
I'll give you a thousand dollars
198
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,268
if you can name
who the fuck number 24 is, right there.
199
00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:44,437
- Hmm.
- Huh.
200
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,314
- You think I don't know?
- Yeah, who is it?
201
00:10:48,024 --> 00:10:49,025
That would be...
202
00:10:50,776 --> 00:10:52,653
- Uh...
- Yeah. Who is it?
203
00:10:55,156 --> 00:10:58,659
Well, I'll tell you like this.
One day, soon, man,
204
00:10:59,285 --> 00:11:03,581
we're trying to live in a phat crib,
bills paid for,
205
00:11:03,664 --> 00:11:07,460
get a ride, throw some rims on there,
a system.
206
00:11:07,543 --> 00:11:10,379
Throw some platinum on the body,
you know what I'm saying?
207
00:11:10,463 --> 00:11:11,714
Shiny.
208
00:11:12,214 --> 00:11:14,633
- Ready to get some jewelry already, huh?
- Yeah, man.
209
00:11:14,717 --> 00:11:16,302
It's the first thing we do, son.
210
00:11:16,844 --> 00:11:19,847
We get jewelry, we get some Hillnigger,
and we get a ride.
211
00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:21,599
Throw some rims up there.
212
00:11:21,682 --> 00:11:23,059
You gotta have some patience, man.
213
00:11:23,142 --> 00:11:25,061
I'm the brain of this outfit.
I am the brain.
214
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,521
And I'm the feet.
215
00:11:28,356 --> 00:11:30,191
Manny, I can't just snap my fingers
216
00:11:30,274 --> 00:11:32,276
and presto chango,
you're an overnight sensation.
217
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,111
Son, it don't work like that.
218
00:11:34,195 --> 00:11:35,905
Fuck you think I am, Houdini out here?
219
00:11:35,988 --> 00:11:38,199
I'm just tired of waiting, man.
220
00:11:47,291 --> 00:11:48,292
Feed...
221
00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:50,544
the...
222
00:11:51,253 --> 00:11:52,838
idiot box.
223
00:11:54,048 --> 00:11:58,511
Feed the idiot box.
224
00:11:58,594 --> 00:12:01,472
Idiot, feed the idiot box.
225
00:12:07,561 --> 00:12:10,898
Hi. We're backstage
at the Trevor Berbick Theater.
226
00:12:10,981 --> 00:12:13,067
This is where we tape The Chris Rock Show.
227
00:12:13,901 --> 00:12:15,694
Ah, my first writing staff.
228
00:12:16,028 --> 00:12:19,198
You know, they really wanted
to get to know the black experience.
229
00:12:19,281 --> 00:12:20,366
So I fired 'em.
230
00:12:25,246 --> 00:12:27,873
I was never good
at performing under the gun.
231
00:12:28,916 --> 00:12:31,544
Well, this wasn't a gun.
232
00:12:31,627 --> 00:12:35,673
It was a bazooka, and it was pressed
point-blank against my temple.
233
00:12:36,257 --> 00:12:39,343
Anytime Pierre's in a jam,
I get the call.
234
00:12:40,219 --> 00:12:45,182
I could always count
on my lamb, Sloan Hopkins.
235
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:04,910
Yo. Yo, yo, yo.
236
00:13:06,162 --> 00:13:08,456
All right, come on.
Come on, come on, come on!
237
00:13:08,998 --> 00:13:09,999
Come on!
238
00:13:12,751 --> 00:13:14,795
Please evacuate.
239
00:13:15,421 --> 00:13:18,549
All of you are illegal residents
in this condemned building.
240
00:13:19,633 --> 00:13:25,181
Leave immediately by order of the mayor
of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani.
241
00:13:26,307 --> 00:13:28,309
- Eureka!
- Oh, my God.
242
00:13:28,392 --> 00:13:30,352
- Eureka!
- Oh, my God.
243
00:13:34,231 --> 00:13:36,150
Please evacuate.
244
00:13:36,233 --> 00:13:40,696
All of you are illegal residents
of this condemned building.
245
00:13:40,779 --> 00:13:46,410
Please leave immediately by order of the
mayor of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani.
246
00:13:46,494 --> 00:13:47,828
Manray!
247
00:13:53,042 --> 00:13:57,296
I can't believe that Manray
was under our noses the entire time.
248
00:13:57,379 --> 00:13:59,590
I know. Do you know how you'll use him?
249
00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:04,053
Dunwitty wants a coon show.
So that's what I intend to give him.
250
00:14:04,136 --> 00:14:08,182
The show will be so negative,
so offensive and racist,
251
00:14:08,265 --> 00:14:10,559
hence, I will prove my point.
252
00:14:11,101 --> 00:14:12,186
Which is what?
253
00:14:12,645 --> 00:14:15,731
The point being that him, the network,
254
00:14:15,814 --> 00:14:19,860
does not want to see Negroes on television
unless they are buffoons.
255
00:14:19,944 --> 00:14:23,364
Well, they definitely do not want
to see dignified black people.
256
00:14:23,447 --> 00:14:24,281
No sirree.
257
00:14:24,365 --> 00:14:28,118
They proved that by canceling your show
Brown Nose Jones, which was brilliant!
258
00:14:28,202 --> 00:14:29,119
Yes. Yes.
259
00:14:29,203 --> 00:14:31,121
After 13 episodes, they canceled it.
260
00:14:31,205 --> 00:14:33,582
They put it against Seinfeld.
It didn't have a chance!
261
00:14:35,709 --> 00:14:39,838
I don't know, Pierre. I really don't.
It still sounds very risky.
262
00:14:39,922 --> 00:14:41,799
You're not getting cold feet on me,
are you?
263
00:14:41,882 --> 00:14:43,801
No. I'm down with you.
264
00:14:44,218 --> 00:14:47,137
Good, because I'm gonna need
your undying support, lamb.
265
00:14:47,930 --> 00:14:49,765
Have you ever thought about just quitting?
266
00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:52,309
Quitters quit.
267
00:14:53,394 --> 00:14:56,272
Besides, I'd get sued. I have a contract.
268
00:14:56,897 --> 00:14:59,483
The only way I get out of that
is if I get fired.
269
00:14:59,567 --> 00:15:01,777
And that is what I intend to do.
270
00:15:02,945 --> 00:15:05,406
What? You've seen my place
down at the Clocktower.
271
00:15:05,489 --> 00:15:06,782
I've got a mortgage.
272
00:15:06,865 --> 00:15:09,034
All right, well, I've got some work to do.
273
00:15:09,118 --> 00:15:12,121
- So... I will see you later.
- Okay.
274
00:15:12,204 --> 00:15:14,248
And you have a conference call.
Don't forget.
275
00:15:14,331 --> 00:15:16,333
Two o'clock, yes. Yes.
276
00:15:28,637 --> 00:15:30,764
Look, I know what I'm doing.
Follow me.
277
00:15:35,603 --> 00:15:36,895
Hey. Good morning, fellas.
278
00:15:36,979 --> 00:15:41,400
- We're looking for a Mr. Dela... point.
- No one here by that name.
279
00:15:42,026 --> 00:15:43,777
Delapot, Delapoint, Dela-something.
280
00:15:43,861 --> 00:15:46,071
And De La Soul is not here, either.
281
00:15:46,155 --> 00:15:47,948
- Step outside.
- Come on, man. Delacox?
282
00:15:48,032 --> 00:15:48,991
Off premises!
283
00:15:49,074 --> 00:15:50,909
You know what I'm saying?
You know this guy.
284
00:15:50,993 --> 00:15:52,953
I'm saying we asking you a question, man.
285
00:15:56,373 --> 00:15:57,750
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
286
00:15:57,833 --> 00:15:59,585
Please. Hi. Hi, guys. Hi, hi.
287
00:15:59,668 --> 00:16:03,589
Listen. Um, these are associates
of Mr. Delacroix.
288
00:16:03,672 --> 00:16:06,675
- Uh — S-So you know them?
- Yes, I do. I know them very well.
289
00:16:07,426 --> 00:16:10,387
- You need an escort?
- Oh, no, no, no. I got it. Thank you.
290
00:16:10,471 --> 00:16:12,097
- Thank you.
- Sorry, Ms. Hopkins.
291
00:16:12,181 --> 00:16:14,808
- We thought they were from the street.
- No, you were just doing your job!
292
00:16:14,892 --> 00:16:17,227
Don't you worry about a thing. Thank you!
293
00:16:17,311 --> 00:16:19,104
Guys, get in there. Come on. Inside.
294
00:16:19,605 --> 00:16:21,982
Hello, hello. Uh, wait a minute.
295
00:16:22,566 --> 00:16:24,109
Amos wants to talk too.
296
00:16:25,486 --> 00:16:26,487
All right.
297
00:16:27,821 --> 00:16:29,239
Goodbye, sweet dumplin'.
298
00:16:30,366 --> 00:16:31,867
The boy with the egg-shaped head.
299
00:16:31,950 --> 00:16:35,412
The boy with the egg-shaped head.
I mean, uh, wait...
300
00:16:36,455 --> 00:16:37,456
Uh, hello, honey.
301
00:16:39,875 --> 00:16:42,127
- Enter.
- Pierre.
302
00:16:43,295 --> 00:16:44,672
Look who I found.
303
00:16:45,881 --> 00:16:49,426
Eureka! I am so happy to see you cats.
304
00:16:49,510 --> 00:16:52,054
- What's up, dawg?
- Hey, what's up?
305
00:16:52,971 --> 00:16:55,307
You'd take no offense
if we call you Dela for short, would you?
306
00:16:55,391 --> 00:16:56,892
Oh, none taken at all, my friend.
307
00:16:56,975 --> 00:17:00,187
I have a concept for a television pilot.
308
00:17:00,646 --> 00:17:03,482
Now, there's no guarantee
that this thing will ever get made,
309
00:17:03,857 --> 00:17:07,319
but it is an opportunity
for you two gentlemen to make some cash.
310
00:17:08,237 --> 00:17:10,322
- How much?
- First things first, my friend.
311
00:17:10,406 --> 00:17:14,118
I need to know
that we are in sync creatively
312
00:17:14,201 --> 00:17:16,704
and that Manray is up for this.
313
00:17:17,287 --> 00:17:18,789
Sure. I mean, what I gotta do?
314
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:21,041
You simply do...
315
00:17:21,625 --> 00:17:22,710
what it is you do.
316
00:17:22,793 --> 00:17:24,294
And what you do best.
317
00:17:24,878 --> 00:17:27,339
- Cool. Where do I sign?
- Oh, wait a — "Where do I sign?"
318
00:17:27,965 --> 00:17:29,425
What kind of show is this anyway?
319
00:17:29,508 --> 00:17:31,009
- Different.
- How different?
320
00:17:31,093 --> 00:17:34,054
Impactful. Um, cutting-edge.
321
00:17:34,138 --> 00:17:38,267
And, of course, it will incorporate
both of your very unique talents.
322
00:17:38,350 --> 00:17:40,436
Yes. Yes,
and it's a hell of a lot better
323
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:43,939
than tap-dancing in the street
for pennies. Trust us.
324
00:17:44,648 --> 00:17:47,192
I still have to pitch this
to my superiors...
325
00:17:47,943 --> 00:17:49,987
but either way,
we should know something soon.
326
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:51,113
It sounds good to me.
327
00:17:51,196 --> 00:17:53,907
As long as I get to hoof,
or we're getting some loot...
328
00:17:54,491 --> 00:17:55,576
- Aye.
- Good, yo.
329
00:17:55,659 --> 00:17:57,786
Because we're trying
to get some income coming in.
330
00:17:57,870 --> 00:18:00,831
Yes.
Money makes the wheels turn, my friend.
331
00:18:00,914 --> 00:18:03,375
What about the meantime,
in-between time, I mean —
332
00:18:03,959 --> 00:18:04,960
You know, like —
333
00:18:05,502 --> 00:18:07,379
You're talking an advance.
334
00:18:07,755 --> 00:18:08,797
That's done.
335
00:18:08,881 --> 00:18:09,965
Okay.
336
00:18:10,048 --> 00:18:12,885
Now, there is one other slight thing.
337
00:18:14,428 --> 00:18:18,724
I would like for you to change your name,
if you don't mind.
338
00:18:18,807 --> 00:18:20,601
- Change my name to what?
- Yes.
339
00:18:20,684 --> 00:18:21,643
To what?
340
00:18:21,727 --> 00:18:23,103
Mantan.
341
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:28,108
All right.
342
00:18:28,192 --> 00:18:30,736
Mantan. It's cool, man.
Look, like I told you,
343
00:18:30,819 --> 00:18:35,073
long as I'm hoofin'
and gettin' some loot, I'm good, man.
344
00:18:35,157 --> 00:18:37,868
But one thing, can I get some new kicks?
345
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:39,828
And, uh, some new tap shoes?
346
00:18:39,912 --> 00:18:41,330
Yes, you could use those.
347
00:18:41,747 --> 00:18:43,040
Sloan, some new shoes.
348
00:18:43,123 --> 00:18:46,168
Okay, new shoes.
349
00:18:46,251 --> 00:18:47,961
Let me get the whole
Hillnigger hookup, huh?
350
00:18:48,045 --> 00:18:49,797
Some jeans, Hillnigger jeans?
351
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:52,716
- Uh-huh. Definitely, most def.
- Okay.
352
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:53,801
- All right?
- Most def.
353
00:18:53,884 --> 00:18:55,803
- Um, some sweaters.
- Sweaters...
354
00:18:55,886 --> 00:18:58,347
Definitely some sweaters,
nothing fancy.
355
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:00,974
You know, like, some cashmere,
some wool, something like that.
356
00:19:01,058 --> 00:19:03,352
- Cashmere, wool.
- Some underwear.
357
00:19:04,812 --> 00:19:07,231
- Underwear.
- Toothpaste. Toothbrush.
358
00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:09,149
Deodorant.
359
00:19:09,233 --> 00:19:10,943
We have deodorant.
360
00:19:11,819 --> 00:19:13,737
We might be able to use some more, though.
361
00:19:13,821 --> 00:19:18,158
Okay. I think I have...
this under control.
362
00:19:18,242 --> 00:19:19,910
Yes. Okay.
363
00:19:20,494 --> 00:19:23,330
No, no, no, no. I understand completely.
364
00:19:24,289 --> 00:19:26,166
Yes. Okay, thank you. Bye-bye.
365
00:19:27,626 --> 00:19:29,795
Never had a real — real pair before.
366
00:19:29,878 --> 00:19:33,924
Really? Wow. You never had
any formal training either, have you?
367
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:38,220
Mmm. Not really. I mean, I picked up
some steps from, like, older cats.
368
00:19:38,303 --> 00:19:39,972
- Slyde, Chaney.
- Right.
369
00:19:40,055 --> 00:19:42,057
But, you know, most of the stuff, yeah.
370
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:43,934
What's up with you and Dela?
371
00:19:44,852 --> 00:19:46,812
You mean, what's up with me and Pierre?
372
00:19:47,312 --> 00:19:52,317
I mean, you know, y'all... together?
Y'all... knocking boots? I mean —
373
00:19:52,401 --> 00:19:55,362
- Knocking boots? I don't think so.
- Nah? Never?
374
00:19:55,445 --> 00:20:00,242
Never! Like I said,
I was at NYU, I got an internship,
375
00:20:00,617 --> 00:20:02,953
Pierre was very impressed
with my get-up-and-go,
376
00:20:03,036 --> 00:20:04,413
so he kept me as his assistant.
377
00:20:04,496 --> 00:20:07,291
Oh, okay. I'm sure that was the only thing
he was impressed with.
378
00:20:07,374 --> 00:20:08,667
- Yes.
- The get-up-and-go.
379
00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:10,127
- Yes.
- Yes.
380
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:12,462
- You look beautiful like that.
- Thank you.
381
00:20:36,695 --> 00:20:37,779
Little sister.
382
00:20:40,032 --> 00:20:42,576
- What are you doing here?
- I need bail money.
383
00:20:43,201 --> 00:20:44,286
- Again?
- Again.
384
00:20:45,454 --> 00:20:47,956
What's going on? How you feeling?
385
00:20:48,582 --> 00:20:50,250
I'm doing good.
386
00:20:50,667 --> 00:20:52,836
Good to see you, little sister.
387
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,006
Working hard
for the man on the plantation.
388
00:20:57,007 --> 00:21:00,344
All right. Enough of the family reunion
in the middle of the street.
389
00:21:00,427 --> 00:21:02,262
Julius, what can I do for you?
390
00:21:02,346 --> 00:21:04,389
Damn it, Sloan.
391
00:21:04,765 --> 00:21:07,809
Damn, man, you —
you can't keep doing that.
392
00:21:07,893 --> 00:21:11,563
It's not fresh. No, I'm — I'm serious.
It's not cute no more.
393
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:14,608
You keep calling me
by the slave name our government —
394
00:21:14,691 --> 00:21:16,234
It's just disrespectful, man.
395
00:21:16,318 --> 00:21:20,614
You know what? I hope you don't think
I'm gonna call you Big Black Africa.
396
00:21:20,697 --> 00:21:22,240
I do. I do hope that.
397
00:21:22,324 --> 00:21:25,535
I would expect that you would call me
whatever name I chose for myself.
398
00:21:25,619 --> 00:21:26,787
I'm not doing that.
399
00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:30,666
Mommy and Daddy named you Julius,
so that's what I'm gonna call you.
400
00:21:30,749 --> 00:21:33,418
It ain't like you some disrespect
to Mommy and Daddy.
401
00:21:33,502 --> 00:21:36,254
It's not a dis. It's about I got a name
that I chose for myself.
402
00:21:36,338 --> 00:21:39,383
You understand what I'm saying?
They named Muhammad Ali "Cassius Clay."
403
00:21:39,466 --> 00:21:40,717
You don't call him "Cassius Clay."
404
00:21:40,801 --> 00:21:41,969
- It's a dis.
- Right.
405
00:21:42,052 --> 00:21:45,097
You don't call
el-Hajj Malik Shabazz "Detroit Red."
406
00:21:45,180 --> 00:21:47,474
You don't call him "Malcolm Little."
You call him "Malcolm X."
407
00:21:47,557 --> 00:21:49,851
You show respect.
It's the same thing with me, Sloan.
408
00:21:49,935 --> 00:21:54,356
It's easy. I was born with one name,
but I chose for myself my own identity.
409
00:21:54,439 --> 00:21:58,193
Big Black Af. Big Black Africa.
It's real simple.
410
00:21:58,276 --> 00:22:01,613
It ain't like I named myself,
Mfufu.
411
00:22:01,697 --> 00:22:04,199
You want me to hook up
you and the Mau Maus?
412
00:22:04,282 --> 00:22:08,078
Why would I hook up
some black, red, green,
413
00:22:08,161 --> 00:22:11,540
flag-waving pseudo-revolutionaries?
414
00:22:11,623 --> 00:22:13,500
First, you done messed up
the colors first.
415
00:22:13,583 --> 00:22:16,586
- What's the colors?
- It's — damn, it's red, black and green!
416
00:22:16,670 --> 00:22:18,880
Everybody — White people know
it's red, black and green, Sloan.
417
00:22:18,964 --> 00:22:20,716
- And secondly...
- Red, black and green.
418
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:22,467
...why — why are we "pseudo"?
419
00:22:22,551 --> 00:22:26,471
If we were talking about some ice
and fuckin' Cristal,
420
00:22:26,555 --> 00:22:30,684
and pushin' Bentleys
and fuckin' pop mogul, all that shit,
421
00:22:30,767 --> 00:22:32,102
then we would be the fly shit?
422
00:22:32,185 --> 00:22:35,814
If we was on — You like that shit,
you'd be like — You like bling-blinging.
423
00:22:35,897 --> 00:22:38,066
Who are you revolting against?
424
00:22:38,150 --> 00:22:39,568
What are you revolting against?
425
00:22:39,651 --> 00:22:41,403
What are you talking about
in all them songs?
426
00:22:41,486 --> 00:22:43,572
In them songs?
In our songs, Mau Mau songs?
427
00:22:43,655 --> 00:22:46,908
- Yeah! In the songs!
- Shit, we talking about fuckin' —
428
00:22:47,451 --> 00:22:51,121
Revolution!
We talkin' about people gettin' free.
429
00:22:51,204 --> 00:22:53,040
The fuckin' America.
430
00:22:53,623 --> 00:22:55,792
- USA, KKK, all that shit.
- There we go.
431
00:22:55,876 --> 00:23:00,255
This is the shit we're revolting against.
And people's hearts — is all fucked-up.
432
00:23:00,338 --> 00:23:03,341
- People are stupid in their mind.
- Just stop. Please, stop.
433
00:23:03,425 --> 00:23:05,635
- Golly day, you sound stupid.
- What?
434
00:23:05,719 --> 00:23:07,012
You sound retarded.
435
00:23:07,095 --> 00:23:09,723
I sound retarded, right?
But fuckin' master —
436
00:23:09,806 --> 00:23:12,642
Ah, that motherfucker
is a fuckin' millionaire,
437
00:23:12,726 --> 00:23:14,436
gruntin' on records. That shit is crazy.
438
00:23:14,519 --> 00:23:16,938
If I had some platinum drawers,
I'd be the nigger, right?
439
00:23:17,022 --> 00:23:19,232
You know what you should just do?
You should just introduce me
440
00:23:19,316 --> 00:23:20,901
- to your — what's his name?
- Delacroix.
441
00:23:20,984 --> 00:23:21,985
Word, him.
442
00:23:22,444 --> 00:23:24,613
You should hook us —
You should just let me meet him.
443
00:23:24,696 --> 00:23:27,157
Why in the world would he write a show
about the Mau Maus?
444
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,241
Just tell me that.
445
00:23:28,325 --> 00:23:29,409
Shit.
446
00:23:29,868 --> 00:23:32,204
The — You know how many fuckin' —
447
00:23:32,662 --> 00:23:36,541
Aw, man. The fuckin' Monkees had a show.
448
00:23:37,334 --> 00:23:39,920
The — The Partridge Family.
449
00:23:40,003 --> 00:23:42,798
Shit, if them — if them motherfuckers
can have a show...
450
00:23:42,881 --> 00:23:45,383
They had demographics. You don't.
451
00:23:45,467 --> 00:23:48,220
The Mau Maus? I'm telling you,
we got an underground following.
452
00:23:48,303 --> 00:23:52,224
We could blow shit. It ain't big,
but it's some small shit
453
00:23:52,307 --> 00:23:56,269
that, like, y'all could expand on
and help blow that shit up.
454
00:23:56,353 --> 00:23:57,896
Let me put it to you like this,
455
00:23:57,979 --> 00:24:03,777
if I ever decide to do, like, a Brooklyn
public television show, I'll call you,
456
00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:10,575
but until then, I am not taking you
to my new job where I'm on the rise
457
00:24:10,659 --> 00:24:14,496
and have you and your crew
blow up my spot.
458
00:24:14,579 --> 00:24:16,289
How is that blowin' up your shit?
459
00:24:16,373 --> 00:24:18,708
Y'all are embarrassing.
460
00:24:19,417 --> 00:24:20,627
Period.
461
00:24:22,963 --> 00:24:23,964
We're embarrassing?
462
00:24:24,047 --> 00:24:26,341
Y'all ignorant! Y'all ignant.
463
00:24:26,424 --> 00:24:27,717
All right, granted.
464
00:24:27,801 --> 00:24:31,263
You know, I got a few niggers in my crew,
they got problems. You know —
465
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,890
Hard black — I mean, niggas ain't perfect.
466
00:24:33,974 --> 00:24:35,767
You know what?
You talkin' a hole in my head.
467
00:24:35,851 --> 00:24:39,020
- I got stuff to do. Let's wrap it up.
- That's fucked up, man.
468
00:24:39,104 --> 00:24:41,189
- Let's wrap it up.
- You saying it's embarrasin'.
469
00:24:41,273 --> 00:24:44,151
That's like — black folks
been doin' that shit to each other
470
00:24:44,234 --> 00:24:47,404
for the last hundred —
400 fucking years, man!
471
00:24:47,487 --> 00:24:50,115
This shit is like some house-nigger shit
when you say that shit.
472
00:24:50,198 --> 00:24:53,493
- Oh... Wait a minute.
- Aw, nah. Don't go there.
473
00:24:53,577 --> 00:24:55,203
- That ain't what I said.
- Hold up!
474
00:24:55,287 --> 00:24:56,496
That ain't what I said!
475
00:24:56,580 --> 00:25:00,458
Julius, are you calling
your sister a house nigger?
476
00:25:00,542 --> 00:25:03,211
That ain't what I said. I don't even know
why you tryin' to go there.
477
00:25:03,295 --> 00:25:07,257
Why don't you take your field-nigger ass
up out my house-nigger house?
478
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:10,635
You was just waitin' for the perfect time
to throw me out anyway.
479
00:25:11,011 --> 00:25:13,096
All right, Martin.
Just let me get some water.
480
00:25:13,180 --> 00:25:18,602
Okay, get your water, and then you —
Heh! Okay?
481
00:25:18,727 --> 00:25:20,937
Dela, my man,
I'm glad you got your mind right.
482
00:25:21,021 --> 00:25:23,982
Well, it's right, tight,
and ready to delight.
483
00:25:24,065 --> 00:25:25,442
Okay, I'm with this.
484
00:25:25,525 --> 00:25:29,154
Mr. Dunwitty, please sit back
and allow me to paint a picture.
485
00:25:29,237 --> 00:25:31,781
Okay, I'm all ears,
and my nose is a close second.
486
00:25:33,491 --> 00:25:37,287
Now, I have been doing a lot
of soul-searching.
487
00:25:37,370 --> 00:25:39,831
- Okay.
- And, once again, you're right.
488
00:25:40,290 --> 00:25:43,877
My previous work has been all surface.
Superficial.
489
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,545
It's a thing of the past.
490
00:25:45,629 --> 00:25:49,257
Yes, I've never really dug deep
into my pain as a Negro.
491
00:25:49,341 --> 00:25:51,885
Hey, look, those things,
they're hard to look at sometimes.
492
00:25:51,968 --> 00:25:53,553
Yes, yes, yes.
493
00:25:53,637 --> 00:25:55,764
And as Mark Twain so fully understood,
494
00:25:55,847 --> 00:26:02,395
satire is the way if we are ever
to live side by side in peace and harmony.
495
00:26:02,479 --> 00:26:03,563
- Right.
- So...
496
00:26:03,647 --> 00:26:08,318
my show that I'm pitching
is about promoting racial healing.
497
00:26:08,401 --> 00:26:10,111
Healing is great. I like this.
498
00:26:10,195 --> 00:26:11,738
- Give me more. Go on.
- Yes.
499
00:26:11,821 --> 00:26:14,491
Now, I know you are familiar
with minstrel shows.
500
00:26:14,574 --> 00:26:18,286
- Yes. Yes.
- They came about in the 1840s.
501
00:26:18,370 --> 00:26:19,371
It was a variety show
502
00:26:19,454 --> 00:26:23,375
in which the talent was singing,
dancing, telling jokes, doing skits.
503
00:26:23,458 --> 00:26:25,919
- Like In Living Color.
- Right, right, right. That was dope.
504
00:26:26,002 --> 00:26:27,295
Now, Mr. Dunwitty, I ask you,
505
00:26:27,379 --> 00:26:30,840
when was the last time
there was a great variety show on the air?
506
00:26:31,216 --> 00:26:33,218
- Carol Burnett?
- Carol was bomb, yo.
507
00:26:33,301 --> 00:26:35,011
- Hee Haw?
- Hee Haw was —
508
00:26:35,095 --> 00:26:38,223
- Kenan and Kel?
- Yo, that's the stupidest shit on TV, yo.
509
00:26:38,306 --> 00:26:41,184
So I say, let's take this form,
510
00:26:41,268 --> 00:26:44,562
this very American tradition
of entertainment
511
00:26:44,646 --> 00:26:47,899
into the 21st century, the new millennium.
512
00:26:47,983 --> 00:26:51,361
Okay. Now, what's the name of the show?
We need something that we could sell.
513
00:26:51,444 --> 00:26:57,742
Mantan: The New Millennium Minstrel Show!
514
00:26:57,826 --> 00:27:00,370
Mantan: The New Millennium...
515
00:27:00,912 --> 00:27:03,248
I really, really like this.
You know how I know?
516
00:27:04,291 --> 00:27:06,626
I'm gettin' a boner. Huh?
517
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:09,170
Swanson Johnson is getting hard.
You know what I'm saying?
518
00:27:09,254 --> 00:27:11,798
I like this.
I'm feelin' this shit! I like this.
519
00:27:11,881 --> 00:27:14,467
- No, it's —
- No, give me more. Give me more.
520
00:27:14,551 --> 00:27:18,763
It's gonna take a lot of courage
and backbone on the part of CNS
521
00:27:18,847 --> 00:27:20,432
to get this thing on the air.
522
00:27:20,515 --> 00:27:22,183
You don't worry about that. That's my job.
523
00:27:22,267 --> 00:27:25,020
You just be the creative genius
that you've proven that you are, okay?
524
00:27:25,103 --> 00:27:27,939
Now, who — who are we gonna get
to star in the show?
525
00:27:28,023 --> 00:27:30,608
Because we need a star
to carry the show, I mean —
526
00:27:30,692 --> 00:27:33,153
Can Whoopi —
can she sing and dance anymore?
527
00:27:33,236 --> 00:27:35,447
- I mean, can she get jiggy?
- Oh, no, no, no.
528
00:27:35,530 --> 00:27:37,741
Ms. Goldberg is the wrong way
529
00:27:37,824 --> 00:27:39,784
- to go with this thing!
- Fuck her.
530
00:27:39,868 --> 00:27:43,371
- We want fresh faces.
- Fresh faces.
531
00:27:43,455 --> 00:27:45,081
- New talent.
- New talent.
532
00:27:45,165 --> 00:27:46,333
- Young blood.
- Young blood.
533
00:27:46,416 --> 00:27:48,626
Sloan! Enter!
534
00:27:50,754 --> 00:27:52,213
- Hello, Sloan.
- Hi.
535
00:27:52,756 --> 00:27:54,841
Gentlemen, please, have a seat.
536
00:27:57,302 --> 00:27:58,678
How you doin', guys?
537
00:27:58,762 --> 00:28:01,848
Are these my two little stars
sitting right in front of me? Uh, Mantan?
538
00:28:01,931 --> 00:28:04,851
Yeah. That's me.
I always wanted to be on TV.
539
00:28:04,934 --> 00:28:06,102
Well, now's your shot, kid.
540
00:28:06,186 --> 00:28:08,938
And that is Sleep'n Eat.
541
00:28:09,022 --> 00:28:12,442
- Wh-What's the name?
- Sleep... and Eat.
542
00:28:12,525 --> 00:28:14,861
Sleep and motherfuckin' Eat.
543
00:28:15,278 --> 00:28:17,364
Oh, shit.
544
00:28:17,447 --> 00:28:19,908
Oh, shit!
545
00:28:19,991 --> 00:28:24,162
Mantan, Sleep'n Eat. Two real coons.
546
00:28:24,245 --> 00:28:27,916
- Real, keeping it real, baby.
- Now, I know that this is out there...
547
00:28:27,999 --> 00:28:29,459
- Right.
- ...but it is satire.
548
00:28:29,542 --> 00:28:31,795
No, no, no. Listen,
I want you to take it out there.
549
00:28:31,878 --> 00:28:34,089
I mean, let's swing for the bleachers
on this one, okay?
550
00:28:34,172 --> 00:28:39,928
Every week, we follow the trials
and tribulations of Mantan, Sleep'n Eat,
551
00:28:40,261 --> 00:28:43,098
two real coons, the Dusty Duo!
552
00:28:43,181 --> 00:28:44,557
What are their character traits?
553
00:28:44,641 --> 00:28:45,683
- Ignorant.
- Ah.
554
00:28:46,101 --> 00:28:47,435
- Dull-witted.
- Ah.
555
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:48,561
- Lazy.
- Ah!
556
00:28:48,645 --> 00:28:51,523
- And unlucky!
- Ah!
557
00:28:51,606 --> 00:28:54,526
- Exactly. Exactly what I'm lookin' for.
- Yes.
558
00:28:54,609 --> 00:28:58,488
Mantan here is the uneducated Negro,
559
00:28:58,571 --> 00:29:01,157
- but with educated feets...
- Right.
560
00:29:01,241 --> 00:29:04,911
...who by some stroke
of unbelievable stupidity
561
00:29:04,994 --> 00:29:07,997
always makes his best-laid plans
go haywire.
562
00:29:08,081 --> 00:29:11,668
- Sleep'n Eat is his comical sidekick?
- Yes! Yes.
563
00:29:11,751 --> 00:29:14,295
Who sings like Sammy.
564
00:29:14,379 --> 00:29:15,755
- He can sing, too?
- Yes.
565
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:17,173
This is gonna be big.
566
00:29:17,257 --> 00:29:21,928
I mean, this could be bigger than Friends,
Ally McBeal, even my boys Amos 'n' Andy!
567
00:29:22,011 --> 00:29:24,973
Protests finally
got Amos 'n' Andy off the air,
568
00:29:25,056 --> 00:29:28,643
and that could very well happen
to a program like this one.
569
00:29:28,726 --> 00:29:31,521
- Well, yeah, let 'em try. Let 'em try.
- Let 'em try.
570
00:29:31,604 --> 00:29:33,731
Black folks will be outraged.
571
00:29:33,815 --> 00:29:36,651
So what? We'll just give the NAACP
a little donation.
572
00:29:36,734 --> 00:29:38,778
I've dealt with those guys before.
Big deal, right?
573
00:29:38,862 --> 00:29:42,323
I mean, and besides, where I come from,
there's no such thing as bad publicity.
574
00:29:42,407 --> 00:29:45,368
This is not about the NAACP. Okay? This —
575
00:29:46,870 --> 00:29:49,998
- This — the content of the show...
- Right.
576
00:29:50,081 --> 00:29:52,667
...is — it's just politically incorrect.
577
00:29:52,750 --> 00:29:55,253
Who wants to be PC these days anyway?
578
00:29:55,336 --> 00:29:58,423
I mean, they — a couple of minutes,
you'll go singing and dancing,
579
00:29:58,506 --> 00:30:01,384
you know, shucking and jiving,
a little good, fun home entertainment.
580
00:30:01,468 --> 00:30:02,886
- Right?
- Yes. Exactly.
581
00:30:02,969 --> 00:30:06,473
Then listen, let me ask you
a question. Who are the other characters?
582
00:30:06,556 --> 00:30:09,058
You got other characters developed?
'Cause it can't just be these two, right?
583
00:30:09,142 --> 00:30:12,103
We have three-dimensional characters.
584
00:30:12,187 --> 00:30:14,022
- What have you got?
- How about Honeycutt?
585
00:30:14,105 --> 00:30:15,398
Topsy.
586
00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:19,986
Rastus.
Lil'nigger Jim.
587
00:30:20,069 --> 00:30:22,030
And Sambo.
588
00:30:22,113 --> 00:30:24,491
And I would be remiss to not mention...
589
00:30:25,116 --> 00:30:27,452
Aunt Jemima.
590
00:30:29,871 --> 00:30:32,540
Aunt Jemima's gonna
rock the do-rag, right?
591
00:30:32,624 --> 00:30:34,542
This is gonna be the crazy shit.
592
00:30:34,626 --> 00:30:36,544
We're gonna hit 'em
with the bomb diggity on this one.
593
00:30:36,628 --> 00:30:38,087
Now, what's — what's the setting?
594
00:30:39,255 --> 00:30:40,632
The projects.
595
00:30:40,715 --> 00:30:43,051
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's your first bad move.
596
00:30:43,134 --> 00:30:44,761
That's the problem with everything today.
597
00:30:44,844 --> 00:30:47,972
TVs, movies, hip-hop,
it all takes place in the hood.
598
00:30:48,056 --> 00:30:50,892
And everybody wants to bust a cap
in a motherfucker. All right?
599
00:30:50,975 --> 00:30:53,728
That's not what we're gonna do here.
No gold teeth, none of that shit.
600
00:30:53,811 --> 00:30:55,021
Check this out.
601
00:30:55,104 --> 00:31:01,486
Mantan's New Millennium Minstrel Show
is gonna take place on a plantation.
602
00:31:01,569 --> 00:31:02,445
- No. Oh, no.
- Yes!
603
00:31:02,529 --> 00:31:06,366
Okay, no, check this out. Every week...
these two Alabama porch monkeys,
604
00:31:06,449 --> 00:31:09,452
they're gonna make us laugh,
they're gonna make us cry,
605
00:31:09,536 --> 00:31:11,663
they're gonna make us feel good
to be Americans.
606
00:31:11,746 --> 00:31:16,626
You know what? The Alabama porch monkey
plantation shit, that's wrong.
607
00:31:16,709 --> 00:31:19,629
Okay, let's cut it.
Let's cut it. Cut it. Cut it.
608
00:31:19,712 --> 00:31:22,090
- It should be a watermelon patch.
- That's the move.
609
00:31:22,173 --> 00:31:23,424
- What?
- I like watermelon.
610
00:31:23,508 --> 00:31:25,510
- Watermelon's good for you, too.
- Yes.
611
00:31:25,593 --> 00:31:29,013
Have you lost your mind?
Do you know how much mail we will get?
612
00:31:29,097 --> 00:31:33,560
Exactly, because there will be
nothing else like it on television!
613
00:31:33,643 --> 00:31:34,978
Now,
let me ask you a question, Mantan.
614
00:31:35,061 --> 00:31:37,605
How do you feel about performing
just a little blackface?
615
00:31:37,689 --> 00:31:40,400
- Oh, see?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
616
00:31:40,483 --> 00:31:41,484
It's makeup.
617
00:31:41,568 --> 00:31:43,903
- It'll lend authenticity.
- It's cool, man.
618
00:31:43,987 --> 00:31:46,864
Oh, look, I'm black, right?
As long as the hoofin' is real.
619
00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:49,158
Motherfucker, you're light-skinned.
Are you gonna listen to what —
620
00:31:49,242 --> 00:31:51,411
No, no, no. Sleep'n Eat,
they're just keeping it real.
621
00:31:51,494 --> 00:31:53,079
- Now check this out.
- My name is Womack.
622
00:31:53,162 --> 00:31:56,874
Can I, uh — You want to show me
just a little something-something?
623
00:31:56,958 --> 00:31:59,168
- Can I test out the waters here?
- Yes, you may.
624
00:31:59,252 --> 00:32:00,587
This is bizarre.
625
00:32:00,670 --> 00:32:03,881
Delacroix, my motherfucker, you dug deep.
626
00:32:03,965 --> 00:32:05,049
- Yes, I did.
- You —
627
00:32:05,133 --> 00:32:07,677
You, you dug deeper than deep, my man.
628
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,304
- To my loins.
- This is the shit!
629
00:32:09,387 --> 00:32:10,388
That's what I'm saying.
630
00:32:10,471 --> 00:32:12,974
- Oh! Here, take my seat.
- Okay, cool.
631
00:32:13,641 --> 00:32:17,312
How you want it?
You want it raw? Flash? You want rhythm?
632
00:32:17,395 --> 00:32:19,856
No, no, no, I want it
raw dawg without a bag, baby.
633
00:32:19,939 --> 00:32:22,817
I mean, let me see you do your thing.
I mean, keep it real.
634
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:24,235
- Wow.
- Just keep it real.
635
00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:26,404
Eh, bust a move. Hop on up there.
636
00:32:26,487 --> 00:32:28,615
- Raw dawg without a bag.
- Raw dawg.
637
00:32:28,698 --> 00:32:29,866
Be careful, man.
638
00:33:02,649 --> 00:33:06,110
Yo! Yo, yo, yo, this kid is off the hook!
639
00:33:06,194 --> 00:33:08,446
This kid is off the hinges, yo!
640
00:33:08,529 --> 00:33:12,742
- Yes, we certainly think so.
- That's what I'm talking about!
641
00:33:12,825 --> 00:33:16,079
Mantan! Yo, we're gonna get paid!
642
00:33:16,496 --> 00:33:18,331
Check this out,
I'm about to go run upstairs with this,
643
00:33:18,414 --> 00:33:20,792
because CNS doesn't have the balls
to pull the trigger,
644
00:33:20,875 --> 00:33:21,876
somebody else will.
645
00:33:22,460 --> 00:33:23,628
Yo.
646
00:33:23,711 --> 00:33:25,755
My beautiful black princess.
647
00:33:25,838 --> 00:33:27,298
Delacroix!
648
00:33:28,591 --> 00:33:30,968
- Yes. Go do your little dirt.
- All right? We're in!
649
00:33:32,303 --> 00:33:33,304
Well...
650
00:33:34,722 --> 00:33:36,182
I think he bought it.
651
00:33:37,809 --> 00:33:39,727
This is some bullshit.
652
00:33:39,811 --> 00:33:43,314
- The name of this shit right here...
- What's that, dawg? What's that?
653
00:33:43,398 --> 00:33:45,066
...is "Black is Black."
654
00:33:45,149 --> 00:33:47,485
It's hot. It's hot.
655
00:33:47,568 --> 00:33:51,656
Now, that's some thinking, you thinking.
That — that's some shit right there, dawg.
656
00:33:52,949 --> 00:33:54,909
- Y'all like that shit?
- Yeah.
657
00:33:54,992 --> 00:33:57,954
The name of the album is the Black Album!
658
00:34:02,458 --> 00:34:04,252
That's the motherfuckin' way.
659
00:34:04,335 --> 00:34:08,172
"Black is Black"
on the fuckin' Black Album.
660
00:34:09,507 --> 00:34:11,884
Yo, yo. But for real, though,
661
00:34:11,968 --> 00:34:14,554
yo, we ain't never conformed
to none of the white man's rules.
662
00:34:14,637 --> 00:34:17,640
- Fuck them. Fuck them motherfuckers.
- You know what I'm saying?
663
00:34:17,724 --> 00:34:20,560
- Later for that old slave owner Webster.
- Word.
664
00:34:20,643 --> 00:34:22,603
So I'm sayin', Big Black —
you know what I mean?
665
00:34:22,687 --> 00:34:25,732
I res — I respectively submit,
you know what I'm saying,
666
00:34:25,815 --> 00:34:28,985
that we from here on,
henceforth and whatnot,
667
00:34:29,527 --> 00:34:33,322
should spell "black" B-L-A-K.
668
00:34:33,865 --> 00:34:36,325
Not B-L-A-C-K, you know what I'm sayin'?
669
00:34:36,409 --> 00:34:39,328
- Respectfully, respectfully now.
- I'm feeling that.
670
00:34:39,412 --> 00:34:42,373
That's why you got
to keep the wisdoms around, man.
671
00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:44,292
B-L-A-K, man.
672
00:34:44,375 --> 00:34:46,878
- Blak, the opposite of white, man.
- Yeah. Yeah.
673
00:34:46,961 --> 00:34:50,506
You know what I'm saying?
Like a member of the African community.
674
00:34:50,590 --> 00:34:54,260
So, how them gray people been tryin'
to trick us with they slickery.
675
00:34:54,761 --> 00:34:56,888
Because of their trickery.
676
00:34:56,971 --> 00:34:59,182
Yo, peep the connotations of that,
you know what I mean?
677
00:34:59,265 --> 00:35:00,266
It's, like, "black."
678
00:35:00,808 --> 00:35:02,018
- Angry.
- Uh.
679
00:35:02,101 --> 00:35:03,102
- Dark.
- Uh.
680
00:35:03,186 --> 00:35:04,437
- Sullen.
- Uh!
681
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,605
- Depressed.
- Uh!
682
00:35:05,688 --> 00:35:06,689
- Wicked.
- Uh!
683
00:35:06,773 --> 00:35:08,024
- Blackball.
- Uh!
684
00:35:08,107 --> 00:35:09,400
- Blacklisted.
- Uh!
685
00:35:09,484 --> 00:35:12,278
♪ Black cat is bad luck
Bad guys wear black ♪
686
00:35:12,361 --> 00:35:14,405
♪ Must have been a white guy
That started all that ♪
687
00:35:14,489 --> 00:35:16,991
You know what I mean?
688
00:35:17,074 --> 00:35:18,493
Mau Mau crew!
689
00:35:18,576 --> 00:35:20,703
Whoo!
690
00:35:20,787 --> 00:35:23,748
I'm saying, I don't even know why they put
the "C" in there to begin with.
691
00:35:23,831 --> 00:35:26,167
Ain't even fuckin' pronounced
in that shit!
692
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:29,086
- I love all of y'all niggas, man.
- Mau Mau crew!
693
00:35:32,173 --> 00:35:34,300
This is Mantan Moreland.
694
00:35:34,383 --> 00:35:39,597
This is one of his most popular films,
The Lucky Ghost. It was from the 1940s.
695
00:35:41,974 --> 00:35:46,145
He was such a clown.
A bit of a buffoon, but very funny.
696
00:35:46,604 --> 00:35:48,481
That ain't funny.
697
00:35:48,564 --> 00:35:49,982
Oh, now, what is this?
698
00:35:50,858 --> 00:35:52,318
How does he make his eyes do that?
699
00:35:52,401 --> 00:35:53,528
Oh, he was gifted.
700
00:35:54,445 --> 00:35:55,446
Gentlemen...
701
00:35:56,030 --> 00:35:59,408
The show, our show, is satirical.
702
00:36:00,076 --> 00:36:03,496
You know what that means?
That means we are poking fun of this.
703
00:36:04,121 --> 00:36:07,834
Our aim is to destroy these stereotypes.
704
00:36:07,917 --> 00:36:11,671
You know what,
I've put together these two portfolios
705
00:36:12,213 --> 00:36:14,090
full of pictures and articles,
706
00:36:14,173 --> 00:36:16,259
everything you need to know
about a minstrel show.
707
00:36:18,469 --> 00:36:19,887
Whoa, wait.
708
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,016
Wait a minute. We — hey, we gonna need
a little more money for this.
709
00:36:24,392 --> 00:36:25,393
Come on!
710
00:36:26,352 --> 00:36:27,812
Ten Little Niggers?
711
00:36:27,895 --> 00:36:29,522
Okay, you get more money.
712
00:36:29,605 --> 00:36:31,899
Mantan in — in a chicken suit?
713
00:36:31,983 --> 00:36:33,985
Mantan!
714
00:36:34,068 --> 00:36:35,653
Come on, Mantan.
715
00:36:36,863 --> 00:36:38,865
Study this material.
716
00:36:38,948 --> 00:36:40,074
Study hard, gentlemen.
717
00:36:40,157 --> 00:36:42,743
You'll look great
in those Hillnigger jeans.
718
00:36:42,827 --> 00:36:46,122
That motherfucker crazy, man.
719
00:36:48,165 --> 00:36:50,084
The good reverend
Dr. Martin Luther King
720
00:36:50,167 --> 00:36:54,672
did not enjoy seeing his people beaten
on the six o'clock news.
721
00:36:54,755 --> 00:36:59,802
However, white America needed to see that
in order to move this country to change.
722
00:37:00,303 --> 00:37:03,556
They need to see this show
for that exact same reason.
723
00:37:08,769 --> 00:37:10,980
I'm gonna trust
you know what you're doing, Pierre.
724
00:37:12,773 --> 00:37:14,942
That's my little lamb.
725
00:37:15,026 --> 00:37:19,614
I'd like to begin this meeting
by saying that I am a fair person.
726
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,490
A straight shooter.
727
00:37:21,574 --> 00:37:23,242
I do not hold my tongue.
728
00:37:24,577 --> 00:37:26,162
So, I must tell you this,
729
00:37:26,245 --> 00:37:29,707
that I had nothing to do
with any of you being hired.
730
00:37:30,750 --> 00:37:34,837
If I had my druthers, there'd be
at least one Negro writer in this room,
731
00:37:34,921 --> 00:37:38,007
and that afro does not qualify you,
my Jewish friend.
732
00:37:40,801 --> 00:37:42,929
Having said that,
733
00:37:43,012 --> 00:37:47,642
I would like to open the floor
to some of your questions and comments.
734
00:37:47,725 --> 00:37:48,893
Look, I agree with you.
735
00:37:48,976 --> 00:37:52,480
I think it would be better
to have some African-American writers,
736
00:37:52,563 --> 00:37:55,149
but, you know, for whatever reason,
they're not here.
737
00:37:55,232 --> 00:37:59,028
Maybe they couldn't find
any people with experience.
738
00:37:59,111 --> 00:38:04,992
Or they wouldn't work for the pay,
or they refused to work on the show.
739
00:38:05,076 --> 00:38:08,746
Perhaps they couldn't put their
crack pipes down long enough to apply.
740
00:38:09,872 --> 00:38:13,209
- Pierre, I don't know —
- Mr. Delacroix. You don't know...
741
00:38:13,834 --> 00:38:17,922
Mr. Delacroix, I don't know,
and I don't think anybody here does know,
742
00:38:18,005 --> 00:38:21,717
but what I do know is that this
is going to be a unique experience.
743
00:38:21,801 --> 00:38:25,680
I am a damn good writer,
and I'm ready to go to work.
744
00:38:25,763 --> 00:38:27,765
Yeah.
745
00:38:29,809 --> 00:38:31,769
Thank you for rallying the troops, Peter.
746
00:38:31,852 --> 00:38:34,939
I've always loved the format
of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In.
747
00:38:35,022 --> 00:38:37,233
"Sock it to me. Sock it to me."
748
00:38:37,316 --> 00:38:39,986
Or, uh, Pigmeat Markham.
You know, "Here come the judge."
749
00:38:42,279 --> 00:38:44,991
But, you know, I think
we should look back at those '70s shows,
750
00:38:45,074 --> 00:38:46,200
which were groundbreaking,
751
00:38:46,283 --> 00:38:48,285
you know, and I'm from Iowa,
as you all know,
752
00:38:48,369 --> 00:38:53,958
and, um, you know, my first experience
of the black — people of col — uh, Africa,
753
00:38:54,041 --> 00:38:56,836
is that — the shows like The Jeffersons.
754
00:38:56,919 --> 00:38:59,171
You know? And — George and Weezy!
755
00:38:59,255 --> 00:39:00,256
Weezy?
756
00:39:00,339 --> 00:39:03,467
You know what's better
than The Jeffersons? Good Times.
757
00:39:03,551 --> 00:39:04,802
"Kid Dyn-o-mite!"
758
00:39:04,885 --> 00:39:06,679
Kid ah-Dyn-o-mite!
759
00:39:06,762 --> 00:39:08,264
So their whole J. J. thing.
760
00:39:08,347 --> 00:39:11,225
I think — and Delacroix
will agree with me —
761
00:39:11,308 --> 00:39:13,936
that the politics of the show
have to be right.
762
00:39:14,020 --> 00:39:16,564
The show we are doing is a minstrel show.
763
00:39:16,647 --> 00:39:21,485
Which is blackface, tap dancing,
singing, sketches.
764
00:39:21,569 --> 00:39:24,572
- You're putting white actors in blackface?
- No, no, no, my dear.
765
00:39:24,655 --> 00:39:28,743
We're using black actors
with blacker faces.
766
00:39:28,826 --> 00:39:30,453
Don't you think that people
are gonna be offended by this?
767
00:39:30,536 --> 00:39:33,247
Yes, that's good.
I want them to be offended.
768
00:39:33,330 --> 00:39:35,332
- I want to wake America up.
- Yes.
769
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:39,253
Even though the material
will be somewhat offensive,
770
00:39:39,336 --> 00:39:43,215
there — there —
there is definitely a social message
771
00:39:43,299 --> 00:39:46,927
- that we should focus on...
- Yes.
772
00:39:47,511 --> 00:39:49,096
...when writing the material.
773
00:39:49,180 --> 00:39:51,182
I think we're gonna need some big stars.
774
00:39:51,265 --> 00:39:53,309
No, no, no, no, no. You see —
775
00:39:53,392 --> 00:39:57,063
You're gonna have a hard time
getting a big star to wear blackface
776
00:39:57,146 --> 00:39:58,731
because they become invisible.
777
00:39:59,607 --> 00:40:04,403
So, I mean, to ask Denzel
to put on blackface is foolish.
778
00:40:04,487 --> 00:40:05,863
- You been took!
- Yeah!
779
00:40:05,946 --> 00:40:07,907
- You been hoodwinked!
- Yeah!
780
00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:09,200
Bamboozled!
781
00:40:09,283 --> 00:40:15,456
Now, I know that it may be hard for some
of you liberal-minded good white folks
782
00:40:15,539 --> 00:40:17,374
to write such offensive material,
783
00:40:17,833 --> 00:40:21,670
yet I want you
to tap into your white angst.
784
00:40:22,588 --> 00:40:26,217
I want you to go back
to the O.J. Simpson verdict.
785
00:40:27,134 --> 00:40:29,220
I want you to deal with those emotions.
786
00:40:29,303 --> 00:40:33,265
How did you feel? How did you feel
when the glove didn't fit?
787
00:40:33,349 --> 00:40:37,061
It was ridiculous. Johnnie Cochran played
the race card. The man is a murderer.
788
00:40:37,144 --> 00:40:38,896
Yeah. I — If it had been a white man...
789
00:40:38,979 --> 00:40:41,273
The mission was accomplished.
790
00:40:41,357 --> 00:40:45,069
All of these people left the room
thinking they would have real input.
791
00:40:45,611 --> 00:40:48,114
I was writing this pilot alone.
792
00:40:48,572 --> 00:40:51,992
Myself, me, moi.
793
00:40:52,076 --> 00:40:53,119
...after the verdict.
794
00:40:53,619 --> 00:40:55,704
I want you to put yourself there,
795
00:40:55,788 --> 00:40:59,750
and this is your time
to purge all those feelings.
796
00:40:59,834 --> 00:41:02,128
- But this is a family show, right?
- Yes. Yes.
797
00:41:02,211 --> 00:41:04,922
A family show
that takes place in a watermelon patch.
798
00:41:05,005 --> 00:41:07,174
What?
799
00:41:07,258 --> 00:41:10,469
We're auditioning
for a house band for the show.
800
00:41:10,553 --> 00:41:13,764
The name of the group
is The Alabama Porch Monkeys.
801
00:41:13,848 --> 00:41:15,015
Do we have a problem,
802
00:41:15,099 --> 00:41:16,851
- any concerns with that?
- No, sir.
803
00:41:16,934 --> 00:41:20,813

One small ad in Backstage
had Negroes lined up around the block.
812
00:42:12,656 --> 00:42:15,701
Were people
really this desperate to get work?
813
00:42:16,952 --> 00:42:18,621

Thank you. Thank you.
824
00:43:08,754 --> 00:43:10,547
That was great. Please —
825
00:43:10,631 --> 00:43:12,967
That was great. Fantastic!
826
00:43:13,050 --> 00:43:14,468
Thank you.
827
00:43:14,551 --> 00:43:18,555
- What is your background?
- I'm a actor. You know, I act.
828
00:43:19,181 --> 00:43:21,225

I might have seen you in?

You know, I act on my job all the time.
830
00:43:23,060 --> 00:43:26,438
Can you give me a little, uh, performance?
Some sort of, uh...
831
00:43:26,522 --> 00:43:29,024
Uh, well, you know,
I do all sorts of kind of things, man.
832
00:43:29,108 --> 00:43:30,734
Whatever you need me to do.
You know, like, you —
833
00:43:30,818 --> 00:43:33,654
- I even do Shakespeare shit, you know.
- Well, do some Shakespeare.
834
00:43:34,113 --> 00:43:37,616
"To be or not to be?" You know?
"That's the motherfuckin' question."
835
00:43:39,285 --> 00:43:42,121
You know, "that is
the motherfuckin' question, "you know?
836
00:43:42,746 --> 00:43:47,084
And, uh — well, you know, like, uh —
in — in Hamlet— in Hamlet,
837
00:43:47,167 --> 00:43:49,628
there's this scene, you know,
where this brother was —
838
00:43:49,712 --> 00:43:53,841
Laertes was asking, uh, you know, the king
that he wanted to go to Paris and shit.
839
00:43:53,924 --> 00:43:56,802
The king asked his daddy could he go,
and his daddy say,
840
00:43:56,885 --> 00:44:00,681
"He hath, my lord, wrung from me...
841
00:44:02,057 --> 00:44:04,435
by laborsome petition."
842
00:44:04,518 --> 00:44:07,396
Was there any more to it,
or was that what's pretty much —
843
00:44:07,479 --> 00:44:09,106
Basically he was saying
just let that motherfucker go.
844
00:44:09,189 --> 00:44:12,401
- You know? He was like, let him go.
- Okay. Right.
845
00:44:12,484 --> 00:44:14,653
I was working on this piece,
'cause I was sitting there going —
846
00:44:14,737 --> 00:44:17,448
I realized that when I was looking at it,
that, uh...
847
00:44:18,574 --> 00:44:20,701
niggas is a beautiful thing. You know?
848
00:44:20,784 --> 00:44:22,119
- Uh —
- And...

00:44:22,202 --> 00:44:23,537
Okay.
850
00:44:23,620 --> 00:44:25,873
- Write that down.
- And— You know —
851
00:44:25,956 --> 00:44:28,584

Cut that off, cut that off, cut that off.
912
00:47:08,911 --> 00:47:11,163
Yo, cut that shit off
before I come up there.
913
00:47:11,246 --> 00:47:13,081
Cut the fuckin' sound off.
914
00:47:13,165 --> 00:47:19,171
Needless to say,
the Mau Maus did not fit into our plans.
915
00:47:19,963 --> 00:47:23,884
As I told Sloan,
"There's a black sheep in every family."
916
00:47:23,967 --> 00:47:25,469
- It's frightening.
- It should be.
917
00:47:25,552 --> 00:47:30,724
I don't want anything to do
with anything black for at least a week.
918
00:47:36,939 --> 00:47:39,233
For the love of Mary and Joseph.
919
00:47:42,486 --> 00:47:45,489
I will not be held responsible
for these revisions.
920
00:47:45,572 --> 00:47:48,242
These changes are not the way
I want to go with this show.
921
00:47:48,325 --> 00:47:53,163
This is an outrage! A-A sham! A violation!
A debacle. A mockery.
922
00:47:53,247 --> 00:47:54,873
Will you just calm down, please?
923
00:47:55,415 --> 00:47:56,667
In Finland, when we get upset —
924
00:47:56,750 --> 00:48:00,170
I don't give a good goddamn
what they do in Finland, Sweden, Norway,
925
00:48:00,254 --> 00:48:03,048
or wherever the hell your young dumb
blond white ass is from.
926
00:48:03,131 --> 00:48:05,759
Hey, hey, hey. We just punched it up.
We made it funnier.
927
00:48:05,842 --> 00:48:08,512
Funnier to whom? And at whose expense?
928
00:48:09,012 --> 00:48:13,850
Mr. Dunwitty, when the Negroes run amok
and the boycotts commence,
929
00:48:13,934 --> 00:48:17,187
I'm going to personally give
the Rev. Al Sharpton your home address.
930
00:48:17,271 --> 00:48:19,064
I seriously doubt that will ever happen.
931
00:48:19,147 --> 00:48:21,275
Didn't I tell you?
I know your people better than you.
932
00:48:21,358 --> 00:48:23,443
I mean, look at all the brothers
on the wall.
933
00:48:23,527 --> 00:48:28,073
And if by some miracle,
Rev. Al "Do" Sharpton shows up at my door,
934
00:48:28,156 --> 00:48:29,950
I'll invite him in,
and we'll have a sit-down
935
00:48:30,033 --> 00:48:32,995
and discuss it like civil human beings.
936
00:48:33,078 --> 00:48:34,788
- Really?
- Really.
937
00:48:34,871 --> 00:48:35,872
Now, can you not interrupt me
938
00:48:35,956 --> 00:48:39,251
while I'm discussing the visual style
and tone of the show, please?
939
00:48:40,502 --> 00:48:41,920
What were you saying, Jukka?
940
00:48:42,004 --> 00:48:43,589
Argh!
941
00:48:50,762 --> 00:48:51,763
How y'all doin'?
942
00:48:51,847 --> 00:48:54,433
Let me hearyou!
943
00:48:54,516 --> 00:48:57,477
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I love you so much.
944
00:48:57,561 --> 00:48:59,980
Whoa! I like this!
945
00:49:00,439 --> 00:49:03,358
My name is Honeycutt. Can you say that?
946
00:49:03,442 --> 00:49:05,068
Honeycutt.
947
00:49:05,152 --> 00:49:07,904
Whenever you see me,
I'm gonna give you my greetin'.
948
00:49:07,988 --> 00:49:11,199
Ooh-whee!
949
00:49:11,283 --> 00:49:14,786
And you say, "Ooh-whah!"
950
00:49:18,123 --> 00:49:19,124
Hello, Jukka.
951
00:49:19,791 --> 00:49:22,628
- Just wanted to wish you good luck.
- Thank you very much.
952
00:49:22,711 --> 00:49:25,464
- Do a good show.
- I always try to do my best.
953
00:49:25,547 --> 00:49:27,883
As usual, I did my research.
954
00:49:27,966 --> 00:49:30,886
We should blacken up
like they did back in the day.
955
00:49:31,261 --> 00:49:32,763
Keep the ritual the same.
956
00:49:33,472 --> 00:49:36,183
So, pour some alcohol on the corks
and then light it.
957
00:49:36,808 --> 00:49:41,688
Let them burn to a crisp,
and when burnt out, mash them to a powder.
958
00:49:44,441 --> 00:49:45,442
Add water.
959
00:49:46,735 --> 00:49:48,362
Mix to a thick paste.
960
00:49:49,404 --> 00:49:52,532
And voilà, you have your blackface.
961
00:49:54,284 --> 00:49:56,870
But please put cocoa butter
on your face and hands
962
00:49:56,953 --> 00:49:58,163
to protect your skin.
963
00:50:20,936 --> 00:50:22,729
And the final detail...
964
00:50:24,648 --> 00:50:25,649
are the lips.
965
00:50:26,483 --> 00:50:28,068
The redder the lipstick, the better.
966
00:50:28,860 --> 00:50:32,531
So, I suggest Fire Truck Red.
967
00:50:37,577 --> 00:50:38,704
Show...
968
00:50:38,787 --> 00:50:40,414
...time.
969
00:50:49,464 --> 00:50:51,299
Oh my God.
970
00:50:51,383 --> 00:50:55,262
This here's my best friend, Sleep'n Eat.
971
00:50:55,345 --> 00:50:58,765
Mm-hmm.
And this here's my best friend, Mantan.
972
00:50:58,849 --> 00:51:03,812
And we are two real coons.
973
00:51:04,104 --> 00:51:07,983
We left the hustle and bustle
of uptown Harlem.
974
00:51:08,066 --> 00:51:09,359
Uh-huh, The Big Apple.
975
00:51:09,443 --> 00:51:11,361
New York! New York!
976
00:51:11,445 --> 00:51:12,779
Skyscrapers and everything!
977
00:51:12,863 --> 00:51:14,740
To return to our roots!
978
00:51:14,823 --> 00:51:16,742
Our Alabammy home.
979
00:51:16,825 --> 00:51:19,619
That's right. We is countrified.
We is sho 'nuff bamas.
980
00:51:19,703 --> 00:51:22,205
Here come the bamas. Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
981
00:51:22,289 --> 00:51:24,541
Uh, no more city slickers.
982
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:31,965
Ah... Can't you smell
that sweet aroma of high cotton
983
00:51:32,048 --> 00:51:34,176
and ripe watermelon?
984
00:51:34,259 --> 00:51:36,470
Nigga, now don't you get me to sniffin'.
985
00:51:37,971 --> 00:51:40,849
Uh-huh, now, why don't you show us
some of them there educated feets?
986
00:51:43,727 --> 00:51:47,397
Cousins!
First, second, third, and distant.
987
00:51:47,481 --> 00:51:50,567
Why don't you let Mantan
take you back to a simpler time?
988
00:51:50,650 --> 00:51:53,904
- A time when men was men...
- Yeah.
989
00:51:53,987 --> 00:51:55,614
- ...and women were women...
- Yeah.
990
00:51:55,697 --> 00:51:57,908
...and nigras knew they place.
991
00:51:59,618 --> 00:52:01,495
Oh, yeah.
992
00:52:01,578 --> 00:52:04,790
Cousins! I want you all
to go to your windows.
993
00:52:04,873 --> 00:52:07,542
- Open 'em up.
- Go to your windows and yell out,
994
00:52:07,626 --> 00:52:09,795
"I'm tired of the drugs!
995
00:52:09,878 --> 00:52:12,631
I'm tired of the crack babies
996
00:52:12,714 --> 00:52:17,093
born out of wedlock
to crackhead AID-infested parents!
997
00:52:17,177 --> 00:52:21,014
I'm tired of the inflated welfare rolls
998
00:52:21,097 --> 00:52:26,478
while good wholesome Americans
bring less and less of their paycheck home
999
00:52:26,561 --> 00:52:28,146
every two weeks."
1000
00:52:28,230 --> 00:52:29,356
And that's a long time too.
1001
00:52:29,439 --> 00:52:31,858
I'm tired. You're tired.
1002
00:52:31,942 --> 00:52:37,197
We're all tired of all these so-called,
uh, Bible-thumpin'...
1003
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,032
♪ Swing down, swing low ♪
1004
00:52:39,115 --> 00:52:40,283
...God-fearin'...
1005
00:52:40,367 --> 00:52:41,660
GP, are you with me?
1006
00:52:41,743 --> 00:52:45,997
...whore-mongling professional athletes.
1007
00:52:46,081 --> 00:52:48,625
You's a fine motherfucker, baby.
Back that ass up. Uh!
1008
00:52:48,708 --> 00:52:51,002
Cousins, I want you to go to your windows.
1009
00:52:51,086 --> 00:52:54,714
Yell out!
Scream with all the life you can muster up
1010
00:52:54,798 --> 00:52:57,884
inside your bruised and battered,
assaulted bodies,
1011
00:52:57,968 --> 00:53:02,889
"I'm sick and tired of niggers,
and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"
1012
00:53:02,973 --> 00:53:04,724
That boy something else.
1013
00:53:04,808 --> 00:53:05,934
Once he get to talkin', he —
1014
00:53:08,144 --> 00:53:10,480
Lord, have mercy. He done did it again!
1015
00:53:11,147 --> 00:53:13,066
Well, let me get him on up, now
I got something for him.
1016
00:53:13,149 --> 00:53:15,569
Watch this. Kinda like a magic trick.
1017
00:53:16,236 --> 00:53:18,738
Gotta do my watermelon patch.
Gotta do the running man.
1018
00:53:19,322 --> 00:53:21,658
Gotta do the running slave.
Now, watch this.
1019
00:53:24,244 --> 00:53:26,079
Doctor don't know nothing about these.
1020
00:53:26,162 --> 00:53:27,747
Here I go.
1021
00:53:27,831 --> 00:53:29,749
♪ Do-o-own ♪
1022
00:53:32,961 --> 00:53:33,962
Come on, now.
1023
00:53:34,045 --> 00:53:37,132
Come on. I'm rubbing a genie's lamp.
Come on, it's emergency situation.
1024
00:53:37,215 --> 00:53:38,508
It's emergency — Clear!
1025
00:53:39,634 --> 00:53:42,512
Them nigger apples work
every goddamn time.
1026
00:53:43,847 --> 00:53:45,849
Come on, boy!
Let's do this here.
1027
00:53:45,932 --> 00:53:47,517
Oh, you lucky we ain't in a jailhouse.
1028
00:53:47,601 --> 00:53:50,395
I'd be like Captain Kirk of the Enterprise
going into the big black hole!
1029
00:53:51,104 --> 00:53:53,440
Give me one. Hut one! Hut, uh — Uh...
1030
00:53:54,065 --> 00:53:55,358
Man, shit, just hut!
1031
00:53:55,901 --> 00:53:57,611
Here we go, now. I'm running too you.
1032
00:54:04,034 --> 00:54:05,702
Any pretty niggers in the house?
1033
00:54:05,785 --> 00:54:08,038
- Yes!
- Come on out!
1034
00:54:54,042 --> 00:54:55,627
Ah! Oh! Ey!
1035
00:55:26,324 --> 00:55:28,827
All right?
1036
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,384
Bravo! Ahh!
1037
00:55:50,306 --> 00:55:51,307
Yeah!
1038
00:56:12,871 --> 00:56:14,456
- Hello.
- Yo, Dela!
1039
00:56:15,707 --> 00:56:19,335
Yo! I just got the news from the CNS brass
that was at the taping.
1040
00:56:19,419 --> 00:56:20,754
Yo, they loved the pilot.
1041
00:56:20,837 --> 00:56:23,506
Yo, we're a mid-season replacement.
They ordered 12 shows.
1042
00:56:23,590 --> 00:56:25,800
We're going to be on the air
in three weeks.
1043
00:56:26,426 --> 00:56:27,427
Yo?
1044
00:56:27,802 --> 00:56:30,972
Dela, did you hear what I just said?
They didn't even view a rough cut.
1045
00:56:31,056 --> 00:56:33,391
They just looked at a couple of scenes
we quickly put together.
1046
00:56:33,475 --> 00:56:34,976
They were sweating us, man.
1047
00:56:35,060 --> 00:56:37,353
But there must be some sort of mistake.
1048
00:56:37,437 --> 00:56:40,315
Only mistake is I didn't believe
in your genius from the get-go,
1049
00:56:40,398 --> 00:56:42,984
from jump street.
Dela, you are the man, bro.
1050
00:56:46,112 --> 00:56:48,364
Please, hold a second.
I have to take this call.
1051
00:56:49,949 --> 00:56:51,618
- Hello.
- Peerless?
1052
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,161
Oh, hi, Mom.
1053
00:56:53,995 --> 00:56:56,539
Could you hold the line a sec?
I have to get rid of this other —
1054
00:56:56,623 --> 00:57:00,043
Yeah, Mr. Dunwitty, it's my mom.
1055
00:57:00,126 --> 00:57:01,711
I-I really have to take this.
1056
00:57:01,795 --> 00:57:03,755
Oh, your mama?
Hey, I want to meet her someday.
1057
00:57:03,838 --> 00:57:07,425
Tell her about the great news, man.
Yo. I'm out like Vanilla Ice.
1058
00:57:08,802 --> 00:57:10,303
Peerless.
1059
00:57:10,386 --> 00:57:12,597
- Mom.
- Your daddy called.
1060
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,474
He wants you to come and see him.
1061
00:57:18,186 --> 00:57:20,814
See, they got all this controversy
in Hollywood about black films
1062
00:57:20,897 --> 00:57:24,317
with all this stuff about black folks,
are there enough of them on TV?
1063
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,736
Well, we know we're on the news.
We all over the news.
1064
00:57:27,278 --> 00:57:28,696
My favorite black show is Cops.
1065
00:57:28,780 --> 00:57:31,825
You know we're on that too.
1066
00:57:31,908 --> 00:57:35,328
And I can't watch all that stuff,
that WB — We Be Black.
1067
00:57:36,204 --> 00:57:38,081
Little nigger frog look like Quincy Jones.
1068
00:57:38,164 --> 00:57:40,750
I can't watch all that.
1069
00:57:40,834 --> 00:57:43,753
UPN — You Pick a Nigger,
any nigger you want.
1070
00:57:45,672 --> 00:57:48,883
But I have to confess, I love me some
Jerry Springer. I love Jerry Springer.
1071
00:57:48,967 --> 00:57:50,135
- Aw.
- Love him!
1072
00:57:50,218 --> 00:57:52,178
It's the all-American show.
1073
00:57:52,887 --> 00:57:56,558
Where else can you see three white women
fight over a nigger with one tooth?
1074
00:58:01,855 --> 00:58:03,523
And no job.
1075
00:58:03,606 --> 00:58:06,860
And speaks fluent Ebonics.
1076
00:58:06,943 --> 00:58:08,653
"Reggie, how come you got three women?"
1077
00:58:08,736 --> 00:58:10,697
"They like dick, Jerry.
Jerry, they like dick."
1078
00:58:10,780 --> 00:58:12,949
"Yeah, your mama like dick?"
1079
00:58:14,117 --> 00:58:17,620
I wrote a movie. I sold my movie
to the studio. I'm real excited about it.
1080
00:58:18,246 --> 00:58:21,541
The Last White Man on Earth.
1081
00:58:21,624 --> 00:58:24,460
Don't look for a sequel. We catch him.
1082
00:58:28,089 --> 00:58:31,801
Starring Diana Ross and Whoopi Goldberg.
1083
00:58:31,885 --> 00:58:33,344
We beat them for about five minutes.
1084
00:58:33,428 --> 00:58:35,847
"Where is he? Where is he?
We saw you with him. Where is he?"
1085
00:58:38,933 --> 00:58:41,853
And have you noticed
that everybody white wanna be black?
1086
00:58:42,478 --> 00:58:43,938
White folks wanna be black folks.
1087
00:58:44,022 --> 00:58:47,108
I went to school with white people.
Their lips weren't that big.
1088
00:58:47,192 --> 00:58:49,485
They get stuff in their lips.
They take it out their behind.
1089
00:58:49,569 --> 00:58:51,654
They just do anything
to get big nigger lips.
1090
00:58:51,738 --> 00:58:54,908
Black people been killed on the highway.
They come by, "I'll take these."
1091
00:58:58,494 --> 00:59:00,622
The lips so big,
the little kids look adopted.
1092
00:59:02,540 --> 00:59:06,502
Everybody wanna be black,
but nobody wanna be black. It confuses me.
1093
00:59:07,170 --> 00:59:08,922
They all act black, sound black.
1094
00:59:09,255 --> 00:59:12,425
I hope they start hanging niggers again.
I'm going to find out who's black.
1095
00:59:13,885 --> 00:59:15,929
Tell you some street jokes.
I love street jokes.
1096
00:59:16,012 --> 00:59:19,057
You can tell one of yours.
I love street jokes. They're the funniest.
1097
00:59:19,140 --> 00:59:21,643
Ain't they the funniest?
1098
00:59:25,021 --> 00:59:26,898
A nigger escaped from a crazy house.
1099
00:59:28,524 --> 00:59:31,444
That's already scary.
1100
00:59:32,987 --> 00:59:36,199
And ran — and ran to where the nuns live.
1101
00:59:36,282 --> 00:59:39,160
There was Sister Mary,
Sister Jane, and Mother Theresa.
1102
00:59:39,744 --> 00:59:41,246
He went in there buck-naked,
1103
00:59:41,663 --> 00:59:44,165
and had the biggest, thickest,
longest penis you ever seen.
1104
00:59:44,249 --> 00:59:45,250
They was all scared.
1105
00:59:45,667 --> 00:59:48,795
So, Sister Mary wanted
to protect Mother Theresa.
1106
00:59:48,878 --> 00:59:50,755
- She grabbed a butcher knife.
- Yeah.
1107
00:59:50,838 --> 00:59:53,258
"Mother Theresa, where do you want me
to start cutting?"
1108
00:59:53,883 --> 00:59:56,844
Mother Theresa said, "Here and here."
1109
01:00:00,807 --> 01:00:02,517
Oh, you know that shit is funny.
1110
01:00:03,601 --> 01:00:05,979
- Who is it?
- Peerless.
1111
01:00:06,771 --> 01:00:08,648
That's my son at the door.
1112
01:00:10,775 --> 01:00:12,819
Yeah! Hey.
1113
01:00:13,111 --> 01:00:15,113
- How are you doing?
- Looking good!
1114
01:00:15,196 --> 01:00:18,491
Good to see you! Good to see you!
Looking good, son.
1115
01:00:18,574 --> 01:00:21,035
You look dandy
in that orange ensemble.
1116
01:00:21,119 --> 01:00:22,120
Have a seat, son.
1117
01:00:25,623 --> 01:00:27,458
- You were hilarious.
- Oh, thank you.
1118
01:00:27,542 --> 01:00:29,627
Absolutely hilarious.
1119
01:00:29,711 --> 01:00:30,712
It was a good show.
1120
01:00:31,421 --> 01:00:34,841
- Yeah — Dot, get my son a drink.
- Oh, sure thing, baby.
1121
01:00:34,924 --> 01:00:37,677
I always enjoy seeing you perform.
1122
01:00:38,761 --> 01:00:41,347
Good. Good. I — I try.
1123
01:00:42,181 --> 01:00:44,726
You do more than try. You succeed.
1124
01:00:46,769 --> 01:00:49,063
- I hope this all right for you.
- It's perfect. Thank you.
1125
01:00:49,147 --> 01:00:50,440
- Okay. You're welcome.
- Cheers.
1126
01:00:50,523 --> 01:00:51,524
Cheers.
1127
01:00:52,191 --> 01:00:54,986
Guess I'd better leave
y'all two alone. Right?
1128
01:00:55,069 --> 01:00:57,613
It was a good show tonight.
Give me some sugar.
1129
01:00:57,697 --> 01:00:59,741
- I love you, baby.
- I love you too.
1130
01:00:59,824 --> 01:01:01,159
I'm so proud of you.
1131
01:01:02,243 --> 01:01:04,662
Right.
1132
01:01:07,790 --> 01:01:09,834
That's a good woman. Good woman.
1133
01:01:10,376 --> 01:01:12,712
- How did you end up here?
- I got too much pride.
1134
01:01:13,338 --> 01:01:16,049
Too much, uh... dignity...
1135
01:01:16,883 --> 01:01:17,884
integrity...
1136
01:01:18,968 --> 01:01:20,845
I can't do that Hollywood stuff, man.
1137
01:01:20,928 --> 01:01:23,014
I can't say
that stuff they want me to say.
1138
01:01:23,723 --> 01:01:26,434
There's got to be
something more than that. I mean...
1139
01:01:27,435 --> 01:01:30,271
Reality. I mean,
maybe you weren't funny enough.
1140
01:01:32,357 --> 01:01:33,691
You must be crazy, man.
1141
01:01:34,484 --> 01:01:37,445
Didn't you hear that audience tonight?
They were with me.
1142
01:01:38,821 --> 01:01:41,741
They were with me,
laughing with me. They got me.
1143
01:01:41,824 --> 01:01:43,868
I'm funny as hell, okay?
1144
01:01:43,951 --> 01:01:47,372
- What — what you up to?
- Trying to get my stuff on the air.
1145
01:01:48,831 --> 01:01:50,416
Where do you go from here?
1146
01:01:52,210 --> 01:01:54,879
South Carolina.
Another little nigger club.
1147
01:01:54,962 --> 01:01:56,798
No, I meant in life. Where do you go?
1148
01:01:57,423 --> 01:01:58,424
In life?
1149
01:01:59,008 --> 01:02:03,721
I'm happy. Got me a pretty woman.
Got a little money in my pocket.
1150
01:02:05,848 --> 01:02:07,225
Got me some tonic.
1151
01:02:07,308 --> 01:02:09,394
I'm aboveground. I'm ahead of the game.
1152
01:02:10,395 --> 01:02:14,565
And you know what I always taught you.
Every nigger is an entertainer.
1153
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:18,361
The question is...
1154
01:02:19,153 --> 01:02:20,905
what are you going to do, Peerless?
1155
01:02:20,988 --> 01:02:22,281
And one more thing.
1156
01:02:23,449 --> 01:02:26,119
Nigger, where the fuck
did you get that accent?
1157
01:02:30,164 --> 01:02:32,583
Why do you always use
that word "nigger" so much?
1158
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,880
I say "nigger"...
a hundred times every morning.
1159
01:02:37,964 --> 01:02:39,674
Keeps my teeth white.
1160
01:02:40,425 --> 01:02:41,801
Come on, Junebug.
1161
01:02:41,884 --> 01:02:43,469
My father.
1162
01:02:43,553 --> 01:02:46,180
I'm not mad at him. Not at all.
1163
01:02:46,264 --> 01:02:48,808
...or the stock market crash.
Black Monday.
1164
01:02:48,891 --> 01:02:50,518
Junebug was the reason
1165
01:02:50,601 --> 01:02:52,937
I had gotten into this business
in the first place.
1166
01:02:53,020 --> 01:02:56,357
You hear white folks all the time —
"It was the darkest day of my life."
1167
01:02:56,441 --> 01:02:57,775
When they faint — "I blacked out.
1168
01:02:57,859 --> 01:02:59,527
I don't remember anything."
1169
01:02:59,610 --> 01:03:01,821
And I thank him for that.
1170
01:03:01,904 --> 01:03:05,908
However, it did me no good
seeing him in that state.
1171
01:03:06,451 --> 01:03:07,702
Father was a broken man.
1172
01:03:07,785 --> 01:03:10,872
... we broke or lose our money,
"It was the whitest day of my life."
1173
01:03:11,581 --> 01:03:13,291
He had been a strong man.
1174
01:03:13,624 --> 01:03:17,670
With conviction, integrity, principles.
1175
01:03:18,296 --> 01:03:20,506
And look where it had gotten him.
1176
01:03:20,590 --> 01:03:23,134
Even the cartoons are racist.
Have you noticed that?
1177
01:03:23,217 --> 01:03:25,761
- Mm-hmm.
- Why do they treat us like that?
1178
01:03:26,304 --> 01:03:31,601
I had to ask myself,
did I want to end up where he was?
1179
01:03:31,684 --> 01:03:33,019
Laughing and grinning...
1180
01:03:33,102 --> 01:03:35,605
Hell, emphatically, no.
1181
01:03:36,731 --> 01:03:38,858
Broke
and the happiest people on the planet.
1182
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:43,070
That was the last time
I ever saw Junebug.
1183
01:03:43,154 --> 01:03:44,155
A damn shame.
1184
01:03:44,238 --> 01:03:45,573
Remember, son...
1185
01:03:46,908 --> 01:03:49,243
Always keep 'em laughing.
1186
01:03:49,577 --> 01:03:51,078
Keep 'em laughing.
1187
01:03:57,293 --> 01:04:00,046
- Everybody say, "Ho!"
- Ho!
1188
01:04:00,129 --> 01:04:02,215
- Say, "Ho, ho!"
- Ho, ho!
1189
01:04:02,298 --> 01:04:04,550
- Say, "Ho, ho, ho!"
- Ho, ho, ho!
1190
01:04:07,929 --> 01:04:09,931
We're doing something
a bit different tonight.
1191
01:04:10,014 --> 01:04:11,724
- Can you help a brother out?
- Yeah.
1192
01:04:11,807 --> 01:04:13,851
- Can you do this, folks?
- Yeah.
1193
01:04:13,935 --> 01:04:16,354
We're going to chant,
and I'm gonna start it off.
1194
01:04:16,437 --> 01:04:17,605
The chant goes like this,
1195
01:04:18,272 --> 01:04:20,274
"Let's go, niggers."
1196
01:04:21,192 --> 01:04:27,990
Let's go, niggers.
1197
01:04:29,033 --> 01:04:35,706
Let's go, niggers...
1198
01:04:35,790 --> 01:04:40,211
Let's welcome to the stage two real coons!
1199
01:04:41,087 --> 01:04:43,172
The Dusty Duo,
1200
01:04:43,256 --> 01:04:49,387
Mantan and his sepia sidekick,
Sleep'n Eat!
1201
01:04:50,805 --> 01:04:52,598
Showtime.
1202
01:05:06,779 --> 01:05:08,030
- Go, now.
- Okay, come on.
1203
01:05:08,114 --> 01:05:09,240
Slow down, boy.
1204
01:05:09,782 --> 01:05:11,826
He ain't here. Come on.
1205
01:05:11,909 --> 01:05:13,953
Gonna get us some of these here chickens.
1206
01:05:14,036 --> 01:05:15,997
Shh.
1207
01:05:16,414 --> 01:05:19,750
Ooh, boy,
I can taste me a wing now. Hee-hee-hee.
1208
01:05:22,295 --> 01:05:24,130
Mm-mm-mm. Look at that there.
1209
01:05:24,213 --> 01:05:28,009
Mm-hmm. Corn bread, biscuits,
red bean and rice.
1210
01:05:28,092 --> 01:05:30,553
- What you talking about, man?
- I'm talking about my wish list.
1211
01:05:30,636 --> 01:05:33,264
Man, our massa's gonna wish...
1212
01:05:33,347 --> 01:05:36,267
Uh, looky here. You know my lady Lucindy?
1213
01:05:36,350 --> 01:05:39,020
- Oh, you mean the one with the big —
- Oh, no, no. Not her.
1214
01:05:39,103 --> 01:05:40,438
The one with the little, uh...
1215
01:05:40,521 --> 01:05:42,148
- Oh, her.
- Yes.
1216
01:05:42,231 --> 01:05:44,400
You see, uh, tomorrow's her birthday,
1217
01:05:44,483 --> 01:05:46,652
and I want to get her something
really nice, like one of those —
1218
01:05:46,736 --> 01:05:48,696
- No, don't get her one of those.
- Oh.
1219
01:05:48,779 --> 01:05:51,907
- What you need to do is get one of them —
- Oh, no. Now, she hates them.
1220
01:05:51,991 --> 01:05:54,368
That's too bad.
1221
01:05:54,452 --> 01:05:55,786
Why don't you get her a dress?
1222
01:05:55,870 --> 01:05:59,957
Oh. You mean, like, one of those sexy,
slinky, foxy ones with the —
1223
01:06:00,041 --> 01:06:01,334
- They're too short.
- Oh.
1224
01:06:01,709 --> 01:06:03,669
And too tight. What you need to do
is get her one of them —
1225
01:06:03,753 --> 01:06:07,048
Oh, no. Now, that's too big.
You know, the in-between kind.
1226
01:06:07,131 --> 01:06:11,135
- Not too loose, not too tight.
- Now, that's perfect, there.
1227
01:06:11,218 --> 01:06:13,346
You know, that dress
is gonna cost you around —
1228
01:06:13,429 --> 01:06:15,973
No. Now, that's too much money.
I can't afford it.
1229
01:06:16,057 --> 01:06:17,683
I needs me a dress that's gonna cost —
1230
01:06:17,767 --> 01:06:19,018
- Can't get it that cheap.
- Oh.
1231
01:06:20,269 --> 01:06:23,981
So I'll get a less expensive dress.
Save some money. Take her out to dinner.
1232
01:06:24,065 --> 01:06:26,067
- Ah, boy, you getting fancy now!
- Mm-hmm.
1233
01:06:27,318 --> 01:06:28,819
Why don't I come over
and we get a double date?
1234
01:06:28,903 --> 01:06:31,155
Oh, no, man. I heard your lady is wild.
1235
01:06:31,238 --> 01:06:34,075
No, no. No, that was her second cousin,
the one that's married to Lil' Bit.
1236
01:06:34,158 --> 01:06:39,038
Oh! Well, uh, because, you know,
on our first date, she let me...
1237
01:06:39,121 --> 01:06:41,123
- That bitch didn't!
- Ooh!
1238
01:06:41,207 --> 01:06:42,958
Oh, yes, she did.
1239
01:06:43,042 --> 01:06:45,002
I heard differently.
I heard that your monkey ass
1240
01:06:45,086 --> 01:06:47,004
- went up in there and you —
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
1241
01:06:47,088 --> 01:06:48,798
No, no, no. Not — not that time.
1242
01:06:49,674 --> 01:06:52,426
- What time you going —
- Hey, well, let's say around, uh...
1243
01:06:52,510 --> 01:06:54,595
- That's too early.
- Oh. Well, how's about, uh...
1244
01:06:54,679 --> 01:06:56,263
- Well, man, that's too late.
- Oh.
1245
01:06:57,056 --> 01:06:59,600
- Why don't you pick us up around —
- Now, that's perfect.
1246
01:07:02,978 --> 01:07:04,772
Oh, please.
1247
01:07:04,855 --> 01:07:08,776
- Now, you see, that's why we get along.
- Like...
1248
01:07:14,281 --> 01:07:17,368
Now, let's go get us
some of them little chickens.
1249
01:07:17,451 --> 01:07:19,578
Hey! Who goes in there, huh?
1250
01:07:19,662 --> 01:07:22,039
Oh, good God, the goo — That —
We better hide.
1251
01:07:22,123 --> 01:07:23,249
Ooh, gosh!
1252
01:07:23,791 --> 01:07:26,627
It's that mean, evil overseer!
1253
01:07:26,711 --> 01:07:28,045
Master Charlie!
1254
01:07:28,129 --> 01:07:31,549
I say! I say, who goes in there, huh?
1255
01:07:31,632 --> 01:07:34,135
Ain't nobody in here
except us chickens!
1256
01:07:37,471 --> 01:07:38,931
Ah-ha!
1257
01:07:40,474 --> 01:07:43,018
Oh, let's go now!
1258
01:07:44,103 --> 01:07:45,104
Let's go now!
1259
01:07:51,318 --> 01:07:52,653
But maybe it is...
1260
01:07:54,613 --> 01:07:55,614
amusing.
1261
01:07:55,698 --> 01:07:57,992
It was the day of reckoning.
1262
01:07:58,075 --> 01:08:02,246
After a massive advertising
and publicity campaign,
1263
01:08:02,329 --> 01:08:06,041
the public would finally
get a chance to view Mantan.
1264
01:08:06,917 --> 01:08:10,671
I was feeling
a little like Dr. Frankenstein.
1265
01:08:11,380 --> 01:08:14,175
What would their reaction be?
1266
01:08:14,258 --> 01:08:15,801
I hadn't the foggiest.

01:11:00,633 --> 01:11:02,426
I was sunk.
1323
01:11:02,509 --> 01:11:03,510
Dead.
1324
01:11:03,594 --> 01:11:05,763
My goose was cooked.
1325
01:11:05,846 --> 01:11:08,974
The cat was in the bag,
and the bag was in the river.
1326
01:11:09,058 --> 01:11:10,935
Oh, I like this.
1327
01:11:11,060 --> 01:11:13,020
You guys have both seen
the overnight ratings.
1328
01:11:13,103 --> 01:11:14,772
They're through the roof. Mazel tov.
1329
01:11:14,855 --> 01:11:18,442
But in this business,
we have to be one, two, three steps ahead.
1330
01:11:18,525 --> 01:11:20,319
That's why I brought in Myrna Goldfarb.
1331
01:11:20,402 --> 01:11:23,781
She's the best media consultant
in the biz. She's going to help us out.
1332
01:11:23,864 --> 01:11:26,784
Okay. First of all,
I would like to say I love your show.
1333
01:11:26,867 --> 01:11:28,827
- Hmm.
- It's very courageous.
1334
01:11:28,911 --> 01:11:32,122
You know, my parents marched
in Selma, Alabama, with Dr. King.
1335
01:11:32,206 --> 01:11:34,416
- Why are you here?
- Good question.
1336
01:11:34,500 --> 01:11:36,877
Straight to the point. I like your style.
1337
01:11:36,961 --> 01:11:39,713
Because of the content of the show,
1338
01:11:40,005 --> 01:11:42,257
we're going to expect
some very spirited reactions.
1339
01:11:42,341 --> 01:11:44,051
Myrna's here just to plan our strategy.
1340
01:11:44,134 --> 01:11:45,427
- Just in case.
- Right.
1341
01:11:45,511 --> 01:11:47,346
The best defense is offense.
1342
01:11:47,429 --> 01:11:49,139
Really? I thought it was
the other way around.
1343
01:11:49,223 --> 01:11:51,892
Exactly. Okay, I think
we're on the same page.
1344
01:11:52,226 --> 01:11:55,938
Now, I've mapped out some strategies
that are gonna help bolster our position.
1345
01:11:56,021 --> 01:11:58,607
- Which is?
- Lighten up, man. Right?
1346
01:11:58,899 --> 01:12:02,653
This is about fun. Right?
Nice, wholesome fun.
1347
01:12:02,736 --> 01:12:07,157
- Myrna, break it down for them.
- Okay. The Mantan Manifesto.
1348
01:12:07,241 --> 01:12:08,993
- Catchy, ain't it?
- So is syphilis.
1349
01:12:11,245 --> 01:12:12,246
Number one.
1350
01:12:12,663 --> 01:12:17,126
We gainfully employ African-Americans
in front of and behind the camera.
1351
01:12:17,209 --> 01:12:19,420
You gotta cover yourselves, people.
Very important.
1352
01:12:19,503 --> 01:12:24,049
I'm talking — I need a black grip,
a black gaffer, a black PA.
1353
01:12:24,133 --> 01:12:25,134
Have them there.
1354
01:12:25,217 --> 01:12:28,387
Number two. Let the audience decide.
1355
01:12:28,762 --> 01:12:31,265
Three. Who put these critics
in charge anyway, right?
1356
01:12:31,348 --> 01:12:34,059
- Right.
- These so-called cultural police?
1357
01:12:34,435 --> 01:12:37,104
Four. Who determines what is black?
1358
01:12:37,187 --> 01:12:38,355
Yeah, what is black?
1359
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,609
Yes. Okay? Sleep'n Eat and Mantan
are lazy and unemployed,
1360
01:12:42,693 --> 01:12:44,570
but we are certainly not saying anything
1361
01:12:44,653 --> 01:12:47,239
about the entire
African-American community.
1362
01:12:47,322 --> 01:12:48,782
- They're slackers.
- Slackers.
1363
01:12:48,866 --> 01:12:50,909
I took a couple of years
after graduate school
1364
01:12:50,993 --> 01:12:52,870
and walked around
the European countryside.
1365
01:12:52,953 --> 01:12:54,496
It's not the biggest deal in the world.
1366
01:12:54,580 --> 01:12:57,583
Five. Mantan is a satire.
1367
01:12:58,083 --> 01:13:01,628
Six. If they can't take a joke,
you know what? Eff 'em.
1368
01:13:01,712 --> 01:13:02,713
Yeah. Eff 'em.
1369
01:13:03,172 --> 01:13:05,257
I think that if we stick
to this kind of strategy,
1370
01:13:05,340 --> 01:13:07,217
I mean, it's clean sailing from here, huh?
1371
01:13:07,301 --> 01:13:10,387
No disrespect,
but, uh, this is some bullshit.
1372
01:13:10,846 --> 01:13:12,139
Well, I've done my research.
1373
01:13:12,222 --> 01:13:14,850
These are Negroes we are talking about.
1374
01:13:15,517 --> 01:13:17,728
Not some lab mice in a cage.
1375
01:13:17,811 --> 01:13:20,647
We are not one monolithic group of people.
1376
01:13:20,731 --> 01:13:25,986
We do not all think, look and act alike,
Ms. Goldfarb.
1377
01:13:26,070 --> 01:13:27,613
Mr. Delacroix, let me assure you,
1378
01:13:27,696 --> 01:13:30,491
I got my PhD
in African-American studies from Yale.
1379
01:13:30,574 --> 01:13:34,286
- So, you fucked a Negro in college. And?
- Hey. Excuse me.
1380
01:13:34,369 --> 01:13:38,082
Excuse me! Let's keep this
above the belt. Okay?
1381
01:13:38,499 --> 01:13:40,375
Show a little respect for this woman.
1382
01:13:40,459 --> 01:13:43,253
Yes. Yes. Continue, O Great Niggerologist.
1383
01:13:43,962 --> 01:13:46,423
- Enlighten us.
- I'm sorry, Myrna.
1384
01:13:46,507 --> 01:13:50,052
The biggest thing in public relations
is, of course, to always smile.
1385
01:13:50,135 --> 01:13:51,595
Show them pearly whites.
1386
01:13:52,262 --> 01:13:54,348
Okay? Wear kente cloth.
1387
01:13:54,431 --> 01:13:58,143
Um, invoke the spirit
of Dr. Martin Luther King.
1388
01:13:58,519 --> 01:14:02,064
You know, use the word "community" often
when talking about Mantan.
1389
01:14:02,147 --> 01:14:03,941
And, finally, our biggest asset is you,
1390
01:14:04,024 --> 01:14:06,193
- Pierre Delacroix.
- Me?
1391
01:14:06,276 --> 01:14:07,861
- Yes, you.
- Me?
1392
01:14:07,945 --> 01:14:09,655
- Yes, you.
- How?
1393
01:14:09,738 --> 01:14:13,659
Well, you see, this show was created
and conceived by you, right?
1394
01:14:13,742 --> 01:14:16,537
A non-threatening African-American male.
1395
01:14:17,079 --> 01:14:20,165
So, the show can't be racist
because you're black.
1396
01:14:20,249 --> 01:14:23,252
Now, see, that's where you're wrong.
He's not black.
1397
01:14:23,335 --> 01:14:25,712
No, see, he's a Negro.
1398
01:14:27,214 --> 01:14:29,133
Well, you have your small victory.
1399
01:14:29,216 --> 01:14:31,093
Pierre, yassa, man!
1400
01:14:31,176 --> 01:14:32,511
A small victory, is it?
1401
01:14:32,594 --> 01:14:34,721
- Right on, man.
- Yeah, great show!
1402
01:14:34,805 --> 01:14:37,558
That's small
when you've been used to losing.
1403
01:14:37,975 --> 01:14:39,351
Hey, hey, Delacroix.
1404
01:14:39,726 --> 01:14:42,104
Funny show, man. Funny show.
1405
01:14:42,604 --> 01:14:43,689
And what is this?
1406
01:14:44,731 --> 01:14:45,941
It's a gift.
1407
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,318
For what, pray tell?
1408
01:14:48,402 --> 01:14:52,614
Well, despite how I may feel
about the show personally,
1409
01:14:52,906 --> 01:14:56,451
you did come up
with something, let's say, unique.
1410
01:14:56,535 --> 01:14:57,870
- Unique?
- Mm-hmm.
1411
01:14:58,954 --> 01:15:00,038
Why don't you open it?
1412
01:15:07,004 --> 01:15:08,005
Watch this.
1413
01:15:16,513 --> 01:15:18,807
And, uh, what do we call this thing?
1414
01:15:18,891 --> 01:15:21,101
It is called a Jolly Nigger Bank.
1415
01:15:21,435 --> 01:15:22,686
Ain't that something?
1416
01:15:23,061 --> 01:15:24,354
And it's not a repro.
1417
01:15:25,147 --> 01:15:27,024
It's circa turn of the century.
1418
01:15:27,691 --> 01:15:30,652
- Thank you, I guess.
- I thought it was appropriate.
1419
01:15:31,486 --> 01:15:32,863
And is that good or bad?
1420
01:15:32,946 --> 01:15:36,825
Well, got a brand-new successful show,
so you'll be going to the bank.
1421
01:15:36,909 --> 01:15:37,910
Plus...
1422
01:15:38,785 --> 01:15:41,663
- I love these black collectibles.
- Really? How so?
1423
01:15:41,747 --> 01:15:45,667
It reminds me of a time in our history,
in this country, when...
1424
01:15:46,668 --> 01:15:49,421
we were considered inferior...
1425
01:15:50,714 --> 01:15:51,715
subhuman,
1426
01:15:52,549 --> 01:15:53,800
and we should never forget.
1427
01:15:53,884 --> 01:15:55,052
Why don't you try, Pierre?
1428
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,097
Yes, why don't I give it a whirl?
1429
01:16:03,435 --> 01:16:06,396
- It's something, ain't it?
- Oh, it's something, all right.
1430
01:16:13,862 --> 01:16:16,490
When American people
want something, they want it now.
1431
01:16:16,573 --> 01:16:18,242
They want it big.
1432
01:16:18,325 --> 01:16:21,787
They wanted the Hula-Hoop.
They wanted their yo-yos.
1433
01:16:21,870 --> 01:16:25,791
Who could ever forget
those lovable Pet Rocks?
1434
01:16:25,874 --> 01:16:26,917
Beanie Babies.
1435
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:28,335
Pokémon.
1436
01:16:28,418 --> 01:16:34,132
Now, the latest, hottest, newest sensation
across the nation was blackface!
1437
01:16:34,216 --> 01:16:36,218
Trick or treat!
1438
01:16:36,802 --> 01:16:37,803
Blackface!
1439
01:16:37,886 --> 01:16:40,514
Trick or treat!
1440
01:16:40,597 --> 01:16:42,849
Welcome back to Imhotep Gary Byrd's GBE
1441
01:16:42,933 --> 01:16:46,520
from 1190 Talk Radio WLIB
in New York City.
1442
01:16:46,603 --> 01:16:49,398
Our special guest today
is Pierre Delacroix.
1443
01:16:49,481 --> 01:16:53,819
He is the creator of the highly
controversial TV show Mantan.
1444
01:16:53,902 --> 01:16:55,487
Pierre, we welcome you to the Experience.
1445
01:16:55,570 --> 01:16:57,948
It's good to experience
the Experience, Gary.
1446
01:16:58,031 --> 01:17:00,993
Your show has created
a pretty strong, uh, impression
1447
01:17:01,076 --> 01:17:06,123
in the community. You have been called
a traitor, an Uncle Tom, a sellout.
1448
01:17:06,581 --> 01:17:10,210
You've even been called
the Clarence Thomas of television.
1449
01:17:10,294 --> 01:17:11,378
It's nice to be hyphenated.
1450
01:17:11,461 --> 01:17:14,589
Well, why does your show
cause such an emotional reaction?
1451
01:17:14,673 --> 01:17:16,717
Well, I think it's race.
1452
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,846
Race has always been
a very sensitive issue in this country.
1453
01:17:20,929 --> 01:17:24,891
I have no problem
with people disagreeing with my show.
1454
01:17:25,517 --> 01:17:26,518
That's fine.
1455
01:17:27,102 --> 01:17:32,232
But when they trample
my inherent right as an artist,
1456
01:17:33,066 --> 01:17:34,276
I catch afire.
1457
01:17:34,359 --> 01:17:38,530
Why is every hit Negro show criticized?
1458
01:17:38,613 --> 01:17:42,200
Like crabs in a barrel,
they pull each other down.
1459
01:17:42,284 --> 01:17:47,039
No one, in any way, shape or form,
should be censored.
1460
01:17:47,122 --> 01:17:48,915
Do you believe that that's true
1461
01:17:48,999 --> 01:17:54,421
regardless of whether the material
is racist, or sexist, or even homophobic?
1462
01:17:54,504 --> 01:17:55,922
I say yes.
1463
01:17:56,465 --> 01:17:58,467
Because who is to judge?
1464
01:17:58,550 --> 01:18:03,013
Who is to stand
and say this is right or this is not?
1465
01:18:03,764 --> 01:18:05,307
I mean, I'm not Mayor Giuliani.
1466
01:18:05,390 --> 01:18:09,102
I cannot look at that painting
and say, "That is sacrilegious."
1467
01:18:09,186 --> 01:18:12,105
It's art, and that is
what it should be called.
1468
01:18:12,689 --> 01:18:13,857
So is Mantan.
1469
01:18:13,940 --> 01:18:15,067
There are many people
1470
01:18:15,150 --> 01:18:18,695
who at this point
are sick and tired of the TV industry.
1471
01:18:18,779 --> 01:18:20,197
And there are many in the community
at this point
1472
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,450
who say what they're doing
has got to stop now.
1473
01:18:23,533 --> 01:18:26,036
What do you say about the fact
that the line has to be drawn here?
1474
01:18:26,119 --> 01:18:28,663
- Those people need to wake up.
- Wake up to what?
1475
01:18:28,747 --> 01:18:31,958
I mean, slavery has been over
400 years ago!
1476
01:18:32,417 --> 01:18:34,294
We need to stop thinking that way.
1477
01:18:34,378 --> 01:18:37,672
Stop crying over the white man this,
the white man that.
1478
01:18:37,756 --> 01:18:42,135
This is the new millennium,
and we must join it.
1479
01:18:42,219 --> 01:18:46,640
Slavery did not end 400 years ago.
Slavery ended in 1865.
1480
01:18:46,723 --> 01:18:51,353
Do the math. Your great-grandmother
who raised your mother's mother
1481
01:18:51,436 --> 01:18:52,437
was a slave.
1482
01:18:52,521 --> 01:18:56,566
And here you are, in this studio,
trying to excuse our own holocaust?
1483
01:18:56,650 --> 01:18:58,318
You're talking numbers, Gary.
1484
01:18:58,652 --> 01:19:02,155
Two hundred years, three hundred years,
it doesn't matter.
1485
01:19:02,239 --> 01:19:07,327
What matters, Gary, is slave mentality,
and that is what must be broken.
1486
01:19:07,411 --> 01:19:08,412
I had an aunt.
1487
01:19:08,829 --> 01:19:09,871
We called her Sister.
1488
01:19:11,289 --> 01:19:12,999
Aunt Sister went to her grave
1489
01:19:13,083 --> 01:19:16,294
believing that man
had not walked on the moon.
1490
01:19:17,337 --> 01:19:21,299
I would argue with this dear old woman,
I'd say, "It's on television."
1491
01:19:21,591 --> 01:19:25,637
And she'd say,
"I don't care what's on that idiot box.
1492
01:19:26,096 --> 01:19:28,014
No man is on the moon."
1493
01:19:28,098 --> 01:19:34,479
Gary, there are millions of Negroes
in this country with that same mentality.
1494
01:19:34,563 --> 01:19:37,065
They think like my Aunt Sister.
1495
01:19:37,941 --> 01:19:41,820
And they must change.
We must adapt to the times.
1496
01:19:41,903 --> 01:19:44,156
Otherwise, we will be left behind!
1497
01:19:44,239 --> 01:19:48,368
No more mess, CNS! Ban Mantan!
1498
01:19:48,869 --> 01:19:52,914
No more mess, CNS! Ban Mantan!
1499
01:19:52,998 --> 01:19:55,083
We've come to put you on notice!
1500
01:19:55,375 --> 01:19:58,211
There will be no desecrating
of our people!
1501
01:19:58,295 --> 01:20:01,089
There will be no... in the new century!
1502
01:20:01,173 --> 01:20:05,343
We will not allow no minstrel shows
in the 21st century!
1503
01:20:05,427 --> 01:20:07,262
We're gonna close you down!
1504
01:20:07,345 --> 01:20:09,764
We're gonna close down your advertising!
1505
01:20:09,848 --> 01:20:11,933
You wouldn't... on your children!
1506
01:20:12,017 --> 01:20:14,978
- That's right, Rev!
- Look at how they disgrace us!
1507
01:20:15,604 --> 01:20:17,105
This is what we're protesting!
1508
01:20:17,189 --> 01:20:18,857
Painted face! A disgrace to the race!
1509
01:20:18,940 --> 01:20:21,359
Painted face,
disgrace to the race!
1510
01:20:21,443 --> 01:20:27,782
Painted face, disgrace to the race!
1511
01:20:34,539 --> 01:20:38,210
Yo, man, why is the Rev. Al Sharpton
and Johnnie Cochran down there?
1512
01:20:38,293 --> 01:20:42,047
Opportunists. They love
to see themselves on television.
1513
01:20:42,589 --> 01:20:43,840
You sound like the media.
1514
01:20:45,091 --> 01:20:46,092
This is nothing.
1515
01:20:46,927 --> 01:20:48,512
Tomorrow it'll all be over.
1516
01:20:50,055 --> 01:20:55,227
Besides, as Mr. Dunwitty says,
there's no such thing as bad publicity.
1517
01:20:57,979 --> 01:20:59,856
Here. That's for you.
1518
01:21:00,982 --> 01:21:03,985
It's a small token of appreciation
for all your hard work.
1519
01:21:04,069 --> 01:21:06,112
All right. Good-lookin', man.
1520
01:21:17,457 --> 01:21:23,255
Those are the last pair of tap shoes
worn by Mr. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.
1521
01:21:23,338 --> 01:21:24,548
- Word?
- In fact,
1522
01:21:24,631 --> 01:21:28,468
- he died with those on his feet.
- Buggin'.
1523
01:21:28,927 --> 01:21:30,387
No joke. I'm serious.
1524
01:21:31,221 --> 01:21:32,806
I hope I don't go out like that.
1525
01:21:42,899 --> 01:21:44,192
It's a nice sound.
1526
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:46,444
Wood on wood.
1527
01:21:50,615 --> 01:21:51,616
Here come Blak.
1528
01:21:51,950 --> 01:21:53,285
- What's up?
- What's up?
1529
01:21:53,368 --> 01:21:55,161
Those fuckin' Tom Sambos.
1530
01:21:55,245 --> 01:21:57,205
Handkerchief-head-wearing ass.
1531
01:21:57,289 --> 01:21:58,623
Dancin' monkey.
1532
01:21:58,707 --> 01:22:00,000
Benedict Arnold!
1533
01:22:00,083 --> 01:22:04,421
Those motherfuckers fuckin' it up
for the whole fuckin' — fuckin' everybody!
1534
01:22:04,504 --> 01:22:05,672
They gonna dis us
1535
01:22:05,755 --> 01:22:10,885
and keep them two fuckin' smilin', happy,
Tom-laughing coon motherfuckers,
1536
01:22:10,969 --> 01:22:14,014
Mantan and goddamn Sleep'n Eat?
You know what I'm sayin'?
1537
01:22:14,097 --> 01:22:16,891
- They's foul, you know what I mean?
- Do you know what I'm saying?
1538
01:22:16,975 --> 01:22:18,351
- Know what I mean?
- You know what I'm saying?
1539
01:22:18,435 --> 01:22:19,894
- You know what I'm saying?
- You know what I mean?
1540
01:22:19,978 --> 01:22:21,646
- Do you know what I'm saying?
- Know what I mean?
1541
01:22:21,730 --> 01:22:23,648
- You know what I'm saying?
- You know what I mean I'm saying?
1542
01:22:23,732 --> 01:22:25,734
We know, man! We know, man!
1543
01:22:26,318 --> 01:22:27,652
Yeah, brothers, sister...
1544
01:22:30,030 --> 01:22:33,116
Yo, we can't let this injustice go by,
man. Not this time, man.
1545
01:22:33,199 --> 01:22:34,868
Them two coons is ill, man.
1546
01:22:34,951 --> 01:22:39,372
Word up, man. What we do on this level,
this shit gotta be fuckin' big, y'all.
1547
01:22:39,456 --> 01:22:43,043
It's gotta be some global blowout shit.
You know what I'm saying?
1548
01:22:43,126 --> 01:22:47,380
This shit gotta have some
fuckin' symbolism to it! Some sustenance!
1549
01:22:47,464 --> 01:22:49,341
This shit gotta be like fuckin' —
1550
01:22:50,050 --> 01:22:53,386
John Carlos and Tommie Smith
at the '68 Olympics,
1551
01:22:53,470 --> 01:22:54,596
do you know what I'm saying?
1552
01:22:54,679 --> 01:22:57,015
With the fists up! Some big shit!
1553
01:22:57,140 --> 01:23:00,393
- This is nice. This is real nice.
- All right?
1554
01:23:00,477 --> 01:23:03,396
This must have cost you a pretty penny.
1555
01:23:04,272 --> 01:23:06,358
Yeah, I got it like that now, so...
1556
01:23:06,441 --> 01:23:07,984
- Oh, you do?
- Yeah.
1557
01:23:08,068 --> 01:23:09,069
Oh, okay.
1558
01:23:09,152 --> 01:23:12,197
- I mean, a little somethin'-somethin'.
- A little somethin'-somethin' is right.
1559
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,574
I hope you saving
a little somethin'-somethin'.
1560
01:23:14,949 --> 01:23:16,743
Yeah, I ain't tryin' to end up broke.
1561
01:23:17,911 --> 01:23:18,912
Well, that's good.
1562
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,123
- See you got your pictures up.
- Yeah.
1563
01:23:22,207 --> 01:23:23,208
Mm-hmm.
1564
01:23:23,291 --> 01:23:24,876
You know,
I was just reading the other day,
1565
01:23:24,959 --> 01:23:26,878
at the beginning of the 20th Century,
1566
01:23:26,961 --> 01:23:30,173
how African-Americans
had to perform in blackface.
1567
01:23:30,256 --> 01:23:33,635
You know that entertainer Bert Williams?
He was brilliant.
1568
01:23:34,969 --> 01:23:36,638
- You know Bert?
- Not really, hey.
1569
01:23:36,721 --> 01:23:38,890
- Mmm.
- Maybe before my time.
1570
01:23:38,973 --> 01:23:39,974
Do you read?
1571
01:23:40,767 --> 01:23:43,103
I mean, not really. Sort of hurts my head.
1572
01:23:43,395 --> 01:23:46,231
Hurts your head. Okay.
You should start reading.
1573
01:23:46,314 --> 01:23:48,942
Maybe I should start
doing a lot of things.
1574
01:23:50,318 --> 01:23:52,487
Well, as I was saying...
1575
01:23:53,321 --> 01:23:55,073
Bert Williams and the rest, you know,
1576
01:23:55,156 --> 01:23:57,450
they had to blacken up
'cause they had no choice.
1577
01:23:57,992 --> 01:24:02,038
And of course, during that time, we were
considered three-fifths of a human being.
1578
01:24:02,539 --> 01:24:05,709
Did you know that was actually written
in the Constitution of the United States?
1579
01:24:05,792 --> 01:24:09,254
Sloan, why are you all — why you —
why you flippin' on me right now?
1580
01:24:09,337 --> 01:24:11,840
You know what I mean?
This whole blackface thing.
1581
01:24:11,923 --> 01:24:14,384
You know what I mean?
Don't try to front like you wasn't down.
1582
01:24:14,467 --> 01:24:17,220
You know what I mean?
It was all part of a deal, you know?
1583
01:24:17,637 --> 01:24:19,264
You was down from the get-go.
1584
01:24:19,347 --> 01:24:20,807
You down with Dela, right?
1585
01:24:23,143 --> 01:24:25,019
Yes. I'm down with Dela.
1586
01:24:25,103 --> 01:24:29,733
I just thought you might be interested
in the origins of blackface.
1587
01:24:29,816 --> 01:24:30,817
Look...
1588
01:24:31,609 --> 01:24:36,990
My man Womack, myself,
we can definitely handle this business.
1589
01:24:37,532 --> 01:24:41,828
I mean, I — for sure,
I know I can handle my business.
1590
01:24:47,500 --> 01:24:49,711
Well, okay.
1591
01:24:52,547 --> 01:24:55,175
I'm gonna check this view out
'cause it's real nice.
1592
01:24:55,258 --> 01:25:00,889
I'm diggin' this whole thing right here.
This is a nice vibe. I'm liking this.
1593
01:25:33,838 --> 01:25:36,007
Sleep'n Eat.
1594
01:26:03,493 --> 01:26:05,078
I seen a lot of troubles lately.
1595
01:26:05,161 --> 01:26:07,497
Oh? Well, how be that?
1596
01:26:07,580 --> 01:26:10,583
I don't know who I is.
1597
01:26:10,667 --> 01:26:13,795
Aw!
1598
01:26:13,878 --> 01:26:16,965
Well, I'll be
a Alabama porch monkey's uncle.
1599
01:26:19,384 --> 01:26:22,512
At least you know who you is.
1600
01:26:22,595 --> 01:26:25,056
Years ago, I married a widow
who had a grown-up daughter.
1601
01:26:25,557 --> 01:26:28,309
My daddy visited us often,
fell in love, and married her.
1602
01:26:28,601 --> 01:26:30,854
Thusly, he became my son-in-law,
1603
01:26:30,937 --> 01:26:34,399
and my step-daughter became my mother
because she was my father's wife.
1604
01:26:34,482 --> 01:26:36,442
That's right.
1605
01:26:36,526 --> 01:26:39,779
After that, my father's wife
gave birth to a son,
1606
01:26:40,238 --> 01:26:43,616
which became my brother and my grandchild.
1607
01:26:43,700 --> 01:26:45,410
Because he was the son of my daughter.
1608
01:26:45,493 --> 01:26:47,662
- What? You jivin'!
- I ain't jivin'!
1609
01:26:47,745 --> 01:26:51,207
Now, accordingly,
my wife was my grandmother
1610
01:26:51,291 --> 01:26:52,917
because she was my mother's mother.
1611
01:26:54,252 --> 01:26:58,923
Mantan, I was my wife's husband
and grandchild at one and the same time.
1612
01:26:59,007 --> 01:27:00,008
And Io and behold,
1613
01:27:00,091 --> 01:27:03,177
as the husband of a person's grandmother
is a grandfather...
1614
01:27:03,261 --> 01:27:05,972
- That's right.
- ...I became my goddamn own grandfather!
1615
01:27:06,055 --> 01:27:09,434
Oh, holy mackerel!
1616
01:27:09,851 --> 01:27:15,481
Sleep'n Eat, that sure is a whopper!
1617
01:27:15,565 --> 01:27:16,858
You said it, cousin.
1618
01:27:17,233 --> 01:27:20,445
Or is we?
1619
01:27:20,945 --> 01:27:22,864
Feets, do your stuff.
1620
01:27:56,105 --> 01:27:57,106

I'm ready to merc somebody.

just blow that nigger's
fuckin' cavities back.
1639
01:29:59,645 --> 01:30:02,023
That's what I say, right?
Blow his cavities back.
1640
01:30:05,109 --> 01:30:06,736
To my astonishment,
1641
01:30:06,819 --> 01:30:12,283
not only did the people in Television Land
love us, but also the critics.
1642
01:30:12,366 --> 01:30:18,956
Mantan was being hailed as groundbreaking,
barrier-breaking, also earth-shaking.
1643
01:30:19,749 --> 01:30:22,668
I looked forward to my awards.
1644
01:30:22,752 --> 01:30:26,047
Just vindication for all my hard work.
1645
01:30:26,464 --> 01:30:30,093
All my talent
that had previously been overlooked.
1646
01:30:30,176 --> 01:30:32,345
Pierre Delacroix, for Mantan.
1647
01:30:32,428 --> 01:30:34,347
Come on up and get your Golden Globe.
1648
01:30:34,430 --> 01:30:35,431
Yes!
1649
01:30:35,932 --> 01:30:37,934
Yeah!
1650
01:30:41,229 --> 01:30:43,106
Mira, I love you!
1651
01:30:43,189 --> 01:30:45,942
You don't know this,
we both took Mandarin together at Harvard.
1652
01:30:46,025 --> 01:30:48,236
I, I — You didn't notice me.
I sat in the back of the class.
1653
01:30:48,319 --> 01:30:52,990
But — oh! I love — You are like
the light reflected off an angel!
1654
01:30:53,699 --> 01:30:56,702
That routine
would go over like gangbusters.
1655
01:30:57,078 --> 01:30:59,205
I would be a dancing fool.
1656
01:30:59,622 --> 01:31:01,582
Hollywood's new favorite Negro.
1657
01:31:01,916 --> 01:31:04,961
Move over, Danny, Morgan, Samuel L!
1658
01:31:05,044 --> 01:31:07,338
Out of my way, Eddie and Wesley!
1659
01:31:07,922 --> 01:31:09,632
Make room for me, Will Smith!
1660
01:31:10,133 --> 01:31:12,802
Here comes Delacroix!
1661
01:31:12,885 --> 01:31:14,345
Show me the money!
1662
01:31:14,428 --> 01:31:17,390
... Best New Situational Comedy is...
1663
01:31:17,473 --> 01:31:18,850
Pierre Delacroix.
1664
01:31:19,267 --> 01:31:21,602
For Mantan: The New Millennium
Minstrel Show.
1665
01:31:26,190 --> 01:31:27,441
I want to thank the Academy.
1666
01:31:28,067 --> 01:31:31,487
- Yeah! Delacroix! Right on!
- Truly, for this award.
1667
01:31:31,571 --> 01:31:34,907
- You — you the man!
- And right now, words escape me.
1668
01:31:35,700 --> 01:31:38,077
Which is odd for a writer, of course.
1669
01:31:38,161 --> 01:31:40,746
Mr. Modine, would you please
join me at the podium?
1670
01:31:43,791 --> 01:31:48,129
Now, I have never met this man
in my life before.
1671
01:31:48,212 --> 01:31:49,213
I...
1672
01:31:50,131 --> 01:31:51,757
am his greatest fan.
1673
01:31:52,717 --> 01:31:54,051
I've seen all your work.
1674
01:31:54,135 --> 01:31:58,514
I've seen you in Rumble Fish,
and — and — and Flamingo Kid,
1675
01:31:58,598 --> 01:32:02,393
and Something About Mary, and Wild Things.
I've just watched that over and —
1676
01:32:04,103 --> 01:32:05,104
Matt Dillon?
1677
01:32:05,188 --> 01:32:07,023
He's —
1678
01:32:07,523 --> 01:32:09,192
Well, I'm sure
if you were in those movies,
1679
01:32:09,275 --> 01:32:11,194
you would have been just as brilliant.
1680
01:32:11,277 --> 01:32:13,779
And so I want to thank you
from the bowels of my heart,
1681
01:32:13,863 --> 01:32:18,284
and I want you to have this Emmy, please.
I do not deserve it.
1682
01:32:18,367 --> 01:32:21,579
No. I can't accept this, uh, Pierre.
It's very generous of you, very kind.
1683
01:32:21,662 --> 01:32:24,415
- But this is for you. This is for...
- Give it to the garbageman!
1684
01:32:24,498 --> 01:32:26,500
- Give this man his Emmy!
- Mantan: The Minstrel —
1685
01:32:26,584 --> 01:32:27,585
Yes!
1686
01:32:30,963 --> 01:32:32,632
If I did that...
1687
01:32:33,341 --> 01:32:35,718
I'd be assured of work forever.
1688
01:32:36,385 --> 01:32:39,889
Delacroix — the grateful Negro.
1689
01:32:39,972 --> 01:32:43,142
All right. Listen, man.
We're takin' it from the same spot.
1690
01:32:43,226 --> 01:32:44,894
Toe-heel, don't rush.
1691
01:32:44,977 --> 01:32:47,313
One, two, three, and —
1692
01:32:55,363 --> 01:32:56,364
Don't rush!
1693
01:33:02,578 --> 01:33:04,038
Come on, get down there!
1694
01:33:07,166 --> 01:33:08,334
Pivot, toe.
1695
01:33:20,388 --> 01:33:22,890
Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no!
1696
01:33:23,307 --> 01:33:24,809
Come on now, what was that?
1697
01:33:25,851 --> 01:33:27,853
Let me hear you, Lil'nigger Jim.
1698
01:33:30,648 --> 01:33:32,233
Oh, no. No, no.
1699
01:33:32,775 --> 01:33:34,068
Let me hear you once again, man.
1700
01:33:36,153 --> 01:33:37,154
No!
1701
01:33:37,238 --> 01:33:38,823
- How old are you, man?
- Ten.
1702
01:33:38,906 --> 01:33:40,616
You ten, right?
You want to live to see eleven?
1703
01:33:40,700 --> 01:33:42,118
What's going on, man?
1704
01:33:42,493 --> 01:33:44,704
Y'all need a break or something?
You need a break?
1705
01:33:44,787 --> 01:33:47,206
Let's take a break.
Take a ten-minute break.
1706
01:33:48,499 --> 01:33:50,167
Take a break! Y'all take a break, man!
1707
01:33:50,251 --> 01:33:52,169
Yo. What's up, man?
1708
01:33:52,962 --> 01:33:54,213
I don't know, man. Sorry.
1709
01:33:55,006 --> 01:33:56,382
I'm surprised at you, man.
1710
01:34:05,224 --> 01:34:06,559
- What's up?
- What's up?
1711
01:34:07,310 --> 01:34:09,562
Since when do you start
talking to people like that?
1712
01:34:10,229 --> 01:34:12,523
Tell me, Manny, when that start?
When you start that?
1713
01:34:13,190 --> 01:34:16,444
You see what they're doin' to my 'ography,
man? They're messin' it up, man.
1714
01:34:16,527 --> 01:34:18,446
Trippin', man.
I'm not drinkin' the Kool-Aid.
1715
01:34:18,529 --> 01:34:20,281
You ain't drinkin'? What you mean?
1716
01:34:20,364 --> 01:34:23,284
Yeah. You know, like Jim Jones?
"I'm not drinkin' the Kool-Aid"?
1717
01:34:23,909 --> 01:34:25,369
What you talkin' about, man?
1718
01:34:25,453 --> 01:34:28,831
I'm talking about this pickaninny
watermelon bullshit!
1719
01:34:28,914 --> 01:34:32,001
I'm out! I'm raisin', up.
The fuck outta here.
1720
01:34:32,084 --> 01:34:33,085
You out?
1721
01:34:33,586 --> 01:34:36,172
You know what, man? Good, yo. Be out.
1722
01:34:36,714 --> 01:34:39,759
'Cause I got a broken back from carrying
you around all these years anyway.
1723
01:34:39,842 --> 01:34:42,136
- Oh, so that's what you been doing?
- Yeah.
1724
01:34:43,304 --> 01:34:45,389
Stand up. Stand up, okay? Stand up.
1725
01:34:46,223 --> 01:34:47,224
That what you been doing?
1726
01:34:48,309 --> 01:34:49,352
You been carrying me?
1727
01:34:50,269 --> 01:34:52,605
We were on the streets,
you weren't talking that shit.
1728
01:34:53,856 --> 01:34:56,484
Huh? When you was hungry,
you wasn't talking that shit.
1729
01:34:57,651 --> 01:34:58,652
Was you?
1730
01:34:58,736 --> 01:35:00,446
What, you been doing push-ups now?
1731
01:35:00,529 --> 01:35:02,740
- And now what? You clock diesel now?
- Come on, man.
1732
01:35:02,823 --> 01:35:04,533
Don't sit down. Don't sit down, Manny.
1733
01:35:07,536 --> 01:35:10,081
- You know, I don't know —
- You gonna jump?
1734
01:35:10,164 --> 01:35:11,665
What's up? Do you remember me?
1735
01:35:11,749 --> 01:35:13,376
Do you remember me?
1736
01:35:13,459 --> 01:35:15,211
Do you? Hmm?
1737
01:35:15,961 --> 01:35:17,129
Huh? Remember me?
1738
01:35:18,255 --> 01:35:20,216
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
That what I thought.
1739
01:35:21,008 --> 01:35:22,676
It's just what I thought, right there.
1740
01:35:23,177 --> 01:35:25,429
Hey, go ahead, man.
1741
01:35:26,764 --> 01:35:28,182
Do what you want right now.
1742
01:35:29,183 --> 01:35:31,227
I'm handling mines, man.
You know what I mean?
1743
01:35:31,310 --> 01:35:32,478
I got a roof over my head.
1744
01:35:32,561 --> 01:35:35,272
Yo, fuckin' with you,
we'd still be out on the street, man.
1745
01:35:35,356 --> 01:35:36,607
What are you, calling me a cling-on?
1746
01:35:36,690 --> 01:35:38,734
You been draggin' me?
I been dead weight to you?
1747
01:35:39,318 --> 01:35:40,319
Is that what I been?
1748
01:35:40,403 --> 01:35:41,654
New millennium, huh?
1749
01:35:43,239 --> 01:35:44,865
It's the same bullshit!
1750
01:35:45,950 --> 01:35:46,951
Just done over.
1751
01:35:47,743 --> 01:35:48,786
Same bullshit.
1752
01:35:55,584 --> 01:35:57,128
"Yassa, I...
1753
01:35:58,254 --> 01:35:59,797
What you want me to do, massa?
1754
01:36:00,673 --> 01:36:01,924
Anything for you, sir.
1755
01:36:02,675 --> 01:36:04,385
I sang for ya.
1756
01:36:05,469 --> 01:36:09,432
I tap dance for ya, massa.
1757
01:36:10,683 --> 01:36:12,268
I coon for ya.
1758
01:36:13,602 --> 01:36:15,563
Anything just to make you laugh.
1759
01:36:16,772 --> 01:36:17,773
Massa?
1760
01:36:18,941 --> 01:36:19,942
Yassa.
1761
01:36:21,193 --> 01:36:22,903
Yassa."
1762
01:36:38,836 --> 01:36:39,962
You should call him.
1763
01:36:40,671 --> 01:36:43,632
I'm not really thinking about Womack
right now, you know what I mean?
1764
01:36:45,176 --> 01:36:48,471
I mean, what am I callin' him for?
I mean, he left. He should be callin' me.
1765
01:36:48,554 --> 01:36:51,474
You gotta be the bigger person,
though. It's not about, you know —
1766
01:36:51,557 --> 01:36:54,351
Don't take it on the ego thing,
'cause it's not about that.
1767
01:36:54,435 --> 01:36:55,436
He comes in.
1768
01:36:55,895 --> 01:37:00,983
All right. It may have been a bad time
or whatever, but he came at me like...
1769
01:37:01,942 --> 01:37:04,069
I mean, like he was my boss
or somethin', like,
1770
01:37:04,570 --> 01:37:06,447
"What am I doing talkin'
to the kids like that?"
1771
01:37:07,406 --> 01:37:10,451
Talkin' to them like that
'cause they not gettin' the 'ography.
1772
01:37:10,534 --> 01:37:12,286
And he just gotta go into some...
1773
01:37:13,579 --> 01:37:15,331
"do you remember" daze.
1774
01:37:15,706 --> 01:37:17,666
I mean, jumpin' at me...
1775
01:37:18,626 --> 01:37:22,046
like he gonna knock my head off,
beat me up in the studio.
1776
01:37:22,796 --> 01:37:26,217
You know what I mean? I'm just like,
"I'm not feelin' you right now, Womack."
1777
01:37:26,926 --> 01:37:27,927
"Straight up."
1778
01:37:28,010 --> 01:37:29,345
You want me to call him?
1779
01:37:29,929 --> 01:37:31,472
I'm not callin' Womack, no.
1780
01:37:32,389 --> 01:37:33,974
No, man, he calls me.
1781
01:37:34,683 --> 01:37:38,062
So how long have you and Hambone
been hanging out?
1782
01:37:38,145 --> 01:37:40,022
We're friends.
1783
01:37:40,105 --> 01:37:42,358
Really? That's not
what your brother seems to think.
1784
01:37:42,775 --> 01:37:45,444
Well, he's playing
that big brother role, so whatever.
1785
01:37:46,403 --> 01:37:49,156
So, are you getting "jiggy" with him?
1786
01:37:50,866 --> 01:37:54,119
Pierre, I don't really think
that's any of your business.
1787
01:37:54,495 --> 01:37:55,788
So, why am I here?
1788
01:37:56,872 --> 01:38:01,961
Well, Mr. Dunwitty and I
feel that you're getting too close to him.
1789
01:38:02,503 --> 01:38:05,005
And that his mind is being messed up.
1790
01:38:05,464 --> 01:38:06,757
He's unfocused.
1791
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,301
So I must demand that you stop seeing him.
1792
01:38:11,554 --> 01:38:13,305
Work-related or otherwise?
1793
01:38:13,389 --> 01:38:16,141
Otherwise.
And I trust you know the difference.
1794
01:38:16,725 --> 01:38:19,186
If he asks me something,
I can't lie to him.
1795
01:38:19,687 --> 01:38:21,438
Okay? I have to tell him the truth.
1796
01:38:21,522 --> 01:38:24,149
Well, do you have
to be so damn forthright?
1797
01:38:24,567 --> 01:38:26,443
You should try it sometime, Dela.
1798
01:38:26,527 --> 01:38:28,362
When are you gonna come into the light?
1799
01:38:28,445 --> 01:38:30,114
- The light?
- The light!
1800
01:38:30,197 --> 01:38:34,368
Don't you give me none of this
mumbo jumbo bullshit, Ms. Sloan,
1801
01:38:34,451 --> 01:38:37,746
because your hands
are just as bloody as mine.
1802
01:38:37,830 --> 01:38:39,915
I know where I made my big mistake.
1803
01:38:41,667 --> 01:38:45,337
I should have never gotten
romantically involved with the help.
1804
01:38:48,841 --> 01:38:49,967
What did you just say?
1805
01:38:52,344 --> 01:38:54,722
Nigger, did you just call me your "help"?
1806
01:38:57,683 --> 01:38:59,143
Is that what you think of me?
1807
01:38:59,935 --> 01:39:04,148
Let me tell you a thing or two
about help, Peerless Dothan.
1808
01:39:05,733 --> 01:39:10,779
If you weren't so busy fucking
Mary Ann, Sue, and Beth,
1809
01:39:10,863 --> 01:39:13,824
maybe you would have
a little bit more stroke in your back.
1810
01:39:13,907 --> 01:39:16,035
Now, help that shit out.
1811
01:39:16,118 --> 01:39:17,119
Get out.
1812
01:39:17,911 --> 01:39:20,581
Get the fuck out!
1813
01:39:26,754 --> 01:39:27,755
You know what?
1814
01:39:28,922 --> 01:39:30,966
You are fucked up.
1815
01:39:34,803 --> 01:39:36,013
Look at that shit.
1816
01:39:36,639 --> 01:39:39,058
That could help your sorry ass one day.
1817
01:39:42,019 --> 01:39:45,230
I trust you can "help" yourself out.
1818
01:39:47,816 --> 01:39:52,071
What you did was dead wrong.
Wrong. Capital W. Wrong.
1819
01:39:52,154 --> 01:39:56,784
Buddy boy, in this business,
if you do not produce, you get fired.
1820
01:39:56,867 --> 01:39:58,911
- It's that simple.
- Sloan — Listen.
1821
01:39:58,994 --> 01:40:01,747
Sloan is the hardest-working person
I ever met.
1822
01:40:01,830 --> 01:40:03,832
Come on. You're a bright young man.
1823
01:40:04,208 --> 01:40:06,669
How do you think she got the gig
in the first place?
1824
01:40:06,752 --> 01:40:08,545
- No.
- Yes.
1825
01:40:08,629 --> 01:40:11,548
I hate to burst your bubble,
Mantan the Marvelous,
1826
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:14,843
but Sloan is an opportunist!
1827
01:40:14,927 --> 01:40:16,679
Nah, man. You don't believe that.
1828
01:40:18,430 --> 01:40:19,473
I don't believe that.
1829
01:40:19,807 --> 01:40:21,308
Do I have to spell it out for you?
1830
01:40:21,392 --> 01:40:24,561
In fact, why don't you
go ask her yourself?
1831
01:40:25,062 --> 01:40:26,814
- Nah.
- Ask her. Say, "Sloan...
1832
01:40:27,564 --> 01:40:29,149
How did you get this gig?"
1833
01:40:29,233 --> 01:40:30,526
How did you get this gig?
1834
01:40:31,151 --> 01:40:33,696
I had an internship
and I worked like a dog
1835
01:40:33,779 --> 01:40:36,323
to get in the position that I'm in today.
1836
01:40:36,699 --> 01:40:38,283
Are you leaving something out?
1837
01:40:38,367 --> 01:40:39,702
Like I said...
1838
01:40:40,869 --> 01:40:42,204
I had an internship.
1839
01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:47,459
Dela liked how I worked,
and he hired me as his assistant.
1840
01:40:47,543 --> 01:40:48,544
And?
1841
01:40:50,379 --> 01:40:52,589
And what?
1842
01:40:52,673 --> 01:40:54,299
Don't play with me right now, Sloan.
1843
01:40:56,635 --> 01:40:59,805
Manray, if you have something to ask me,
ask it.
1844
01:41:00,389 --> 01:41:03,475
- Oh, you just want me to say it, right?
- Say what?
1845
01:41:06,729 --> 01:41:08,230
Did you ever sleep with Dela?
1846
01:41:08,313 --> 01:41:09,314
Yes, I did.
1847
01:41:09,398 --> 01:41:11,024
- Listen! It doesn't have any —
- I knew it.
1848
01:41:11,108 --> 01:41:13,360
- Listen! It doesn't have anything...
- I knew it!
1849
01:41:13,444 --> 01:41:16,905
...to do with how I got my job.
It was a mistake.
1850
01:41:17,531 --> 01:41:20,409
Okay? It happened a very long time ago,
1851
01:41:20,492 --> 01:41:23,120
and it doesn't have anything
to do with me and you.
1852
01:41:25,456 --> 01:41:27,082
You know what?
1853
01:41:27,166 --> 01:41:30,335
Figured you was probably gonna try
to play me, right? Try to use me.
1854
01:41:30,419 --> 01:41:32,129
- Oh, come on!
- Just like you used Dela
1855
01:41:32,212 --> 01:41:33,922
to work your way to the top, huh?
1856
01:41:35,382 --> 01:41:38,927
It's funny how people in this business
can just flip on you like IHOP.
1857
01:41:40,220 --> 01:41:41,930
I'm glad he fired your ass.
1858
01:41:46,435 --> 01:41:47,603
You —
1859
01:41:49,396 --> 01:41:51,273
You know what?
Let me tell you what's funny.
1860
01:41:53,192 --> 01:41:57,696
It's funny how a man always
has to perceive an attractive young lady
1861
01:41:57,780 --> 01:42:01,283
as having to fuck or suck somebody
in order to get to the top.
1862
01:42:01,366 --> 01:42:04,787
It doesn't have anything to do
with the fact that I'm intelligent maybe?
1863
01:42:04,870 --> 01:42:07,498
Or have anything to do
with the fact that I have drive?
1864
01:42:07,581 --> 01:42:08,624
That doesn't matter?
1865
01:42:09,708 --> 01:42:13,003
No, I fucked him.
Yes, I fucked him. How about that?
1866
01:42:16,507 --> 01:42:19,510
The question is,
are you a puppet for Dela?
1867
01:42:20,594 --> 01:42:23,305
- Don't try to change the subject.
- I'm not changing anything.
1868
01:42:23,388 --> 01:42:27,810
I'm asking you a question.
Are you a puppet for Dela?
1869
01:42:27,893 --> 01:42:30,062
No. I'm looking at Dela's puppet.
1870
01:42:31,063 --> 01:42:33,357
Well, then the real question is...
1871
01:42:35,818 --> 01:42:37,236
whose puppet are you?
1872
01:42:45,661 --> 01:42:47,162
Hello, Mommy. How are you?
1873
01:42:47,246 --> 01:42:49,456
Oh, I'm just fine, honey.
1874
01:42:49,540 --> 01:42:53,502
I've just been here
reading about your show.
1875
01:42:53,585 --> 01:42:55,712
It's everywhere.
1876
01:42:55,796 --> 01:42:58,173
You know, I only saw it once.
1877
01:42:58,924 --> 01:43:01,134
I thought you told me
there would be no buffoonery!
1878
01:43:01,218 --> 01:43:02,803
Are you going to attack me, too?
1879
01:43:03,679 --> 01:43:06,306
The show is a hit.
Why can't you be happy for me?
1880
01:43:06,390 --> 01:43:09,393
Of course I'm happy for you, honey.
1881
01:43:09,476 --> 01:43:12,271
But a coon is a coon!
1882
01:43:14,982 --> 01:43:17,442
- Peerless.
- What?
1883
01:43:17,526 --> 01:43:21,196
You work so hard for your success, honey.
1884
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:23,282
Yes, I have. Very hard.
1885
01:43:24,366 --> 01:43:25,617
Has my father called?
1886
01:43:25,701 --> 01:43:27,744
- No. No.
- Not at all?
1887
01:43:28,036 --> 01:43:30,873
Well, honey, you know your daddy.
1888
01:43:32,124 --> 01:43:34,167
Well, if and when he does call,
1889
01:43:34,251 --> 01:43:37,337
please, don't forget to ask him
if he's seen Mantan.
1890
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:39,214
I will, honey.
1891
01:43:40,632 --> 01:43:41,842
- Peerless?
- Yes?
1892
01:43:42,801 --> 01:43:44,469
You disappoint me.
1893
01:43:45,888 --> 01:43:47,764
Yes. Well, I have to go now.
1894
01:43:50,559 --> 01:43:52,477
The hell are you smiling at?
1895
01:44:05,198 --> 01:44:06,742
Jolly Nigger Bank.
1896
01:44:07,492 --> 01:44:08,493
Hmm.
1897
01:45:17,646 --> 01:45:22,818
When I thought or imagined
that my favorite Jolly Nigger Bank,
1898
01:45:22,901 --> 01:45:27,072
an inanimate object,
a piece of cold cast iron,
1899
01:45:27,155 --> 01:45:29,324
was moving by itself,
1900
01:45:29,408 --> 01:45:31,076
I knew I was getting paranoid.
1901
01:45:32,077 --> 01:45:34,037
Did I really see what I saw?
1902
01:45:34,997 --> 01:45:36,999
Or was I hallucinating?
1903
01:45:37,124 --> 01:45:41,837
What's up, my millennium niggers?
1904
01:45:50,595 --> 01:45:52,139
Whoo!
1905
01:45:54,349 --> 01:45:56,143
My name is...
1906
01:45:58,270 --> 01:46:02,482
Honest Abe Honeycutt-ahh.
1907
01:46:06,361 --> 01:46:08,572
And I've just got one thing to say.
1908
01:46:08,655 --> 01:46:09,656
What?
1909
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:13,785
Ooh-whee! Ah!
1910
01:46:13,869 --> 01:46:17,205
Ooh-whah!
1911
01:46:17,289 --> 01:46:19,124
Sounds so good I gotta do it again.
1912
01:46:19,207 --> 01:46:21,585
Ooh-whee! Ah!
1913
01:46:21,668 --> 01:46:25,589
Ooh-whah!
1914
01:46:25,672 --> 01:46:26,673
And four score...
1915
01:46:27,591 --> 01:46:29,051
and seven years ago...
1916
01:46:29,134 --> 01:46:31,219
Preach, boy.
1917
01:46:31,303 --> 01:46:35,057
...they was kicking our black asses.
1918
01:46:35,515 --> 01:46:39,728
Boy, I mean they had a whip,
and they was kicking our black asses
1919
01:46:39,811 --> 01:46:44,733
from can't see in the morning
till can't see at night.
1920
01:46:46,359 --> 01:46:53,200
But this is the new millennium!
1921
01:46:54,534 --> 01:46:58,205
How's everybody doing?
1922
01:46:58,955 --> 01:47:01,541
Grandma Bull, Grandma Bull,
is you a nigger?
1923
01:47:01,625 --> 01:47:05,754
Yes sirree Bob.
Darn tootin', I'm a nigger.
1924
01:47:08,381 --> 01:47:10,926
Oh, give her applause!
Give her some applause!
1925
01:47:11,009 --> 01:47:13,345
Oh, my brother! I love you!
1926
01:47:13,428 --> 01:47:15,764
My boy. Is you a nigger?
1927
01:47:15,847 --> 01:47:19,601
Oh! Honeycutt, you be nigger.
You be nigger!
1928
01:47:23,063 --> 01:47:24,648
Let's be niggers together!
1929
01:47:24,731 --> 01:47:28,527
Boom, boom, Honeycutt!
Boom, Honeycutt! Boom, boom, Honeycutt!
1930
01:47:29,402 --> 01:47:31,738
- Are you a nigger?
- Yes.
1931
01:47:32,322 --> 01:47:35,158
I'm bo — I'm from the Bronx, man.
1932
01:47:35,534 --> 01:47:39,121
Home of the world champions!
New York Yankees!
1933
01:47:39,204 --> 01:47:42,040
Oh!
1934
01:47:44,751 --> 01:47:46,044
Where you from, my sister?
1935
01:47:46,419 --> 01:47:47,963
Puerto Rico.
1936
01:47:48,046 --> 01:47:50,715
That's right, baby.
So, I'm not just a nigger.
1937
01:47:50,799 --> 01:47:53,760
I'm a nigger, okay?
1938
01:47:53,844 --> 01:47:55,679
Send something
to our other sisters out there.
1939
01:47:57,973 --> 01:48:02,060
If you not a nigger, be a nigger!
1940
01:48:02,144 --> 01:48:03,270
Is you a nigger?
1941
01:48:03,728 --> 01:48:05,105
I'm a Sicilian nigger.
1942
01:48:06,022 --> 01:48:08,984
Which means I'm more of a nigger
than any nigger in here.
1943
01:48:09,067 --> 01:48:11,444
- Ooh!
- Okay?
1944
01:48:11,528 --> 01:48:13,822
Because you know
what they say about Sicilians.
1945
01:48:13,905 --> 01:48:16,449
We're darker than most niggers.
1946
01:48:16,533 --> 01:48:19,244
We're bigger than most niggers.
1947
01:48:19,327 --> 01:48:21,538

01:50:09,562 --> 01:50:11,064
Where is he?
1983
01:50:16,486 --> 01:50:19,531
Mantan, what's going on here?
We have a show to tape.
1984
01:50:19,614 --> 01:50:22,117
My name is Manray, goddamn it.
1985
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:25,870
Goddamn it, Manray,
we've got a show to tape.
1986
01:50:26,288 --> 01:50:31,293
Please... go to your room,
put on your costume, and blacken up.
1987
01:50:31,376 --> 01:50:34,337
Look, man, I'm not playing myself no more.
1988
01:50:34,421 --> 01:50:36,131
- Come again?
- Come again?
1989
01:50:36,214 --> 01:50:40,385
I'm done, man. This whole
blackface, buck dance shit, I'm done, man.
1990
01:50:40,468 --> 01:50:42,137
I know what you're going through
right now.
1991
01:50:42,220 --> 01:50:44,889
I mean, first Womack and then Sloan.
1992
01:50:45,223 --> 01:50:47,058
Oh, my God. It broke my heart
1993
01:50:47,142 --> 01:50:51,855
to have to be the one to pull
your coattails as to her sexual exploits.
1994
01:50:51,938 --> 01:50:55,984
However, we must remain professional.
1995
01:50:56,818 --> 01:50:59,529
The show must go on.
1996
01:50:59,612 --> 01:51:01,364
I will always be professional.
1997
01:51:01,740 --> 01:51:04,993
But as far as this buck dancing,
this blackface shit, I'm not doing it.
1998
01:51:05,076 --> 01:51:06,786
No costume, no blackface?
1999
01:51:06,870 --> 01:51:09,581
Hell, no. Blackface. No.
2000
01:51:10,540 --> 01:51:11,541
Fine.
2001
01:51:12,709 --> 01:51:14,044
It's gonna be your funeral.
2002
01:51:15,920 --> 01:51:22,302
We want Mantan!
2003
01:51:23,762 --> 01:51:26,139
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.
2004
01:51:26,222 --> 01:51:28,308
We apologize for the holdup.
2005
01:51:28,683 --> 01:51:31,227
So, without any further delay,
ladies and gentlemen,
2006
01:51:31,311 --> 01:51:33,688
give it up for Mantan!
2007
01:52:08,473 --> 01:52:09,724
- What's going on?
- I don't know.
2008
01:52:09,808 --> 01:52:11,518
What do you mean, you don't know?
2009
01:52:13,395 --> 01:52:14,396
Cousins...
2010
01:52:16,606 --> 01:52:19,025
I want you all to go to your windows.
2011
01:52:20,485 --> 01:52:22,695
Go to your windows and yell out.
2012
01:52:22,779 --> 01:52:26,825
Scream with all the life
that you can muster up
2013
01:52:26,908 --> 01:52:33,289
inside your bruised, assaulted
and battered bodies.
2014
01:52:33,373 --> 01:52:37,544
I am sick and tired of being a nigger,
2015
01:52:37,627 --> 01:52:42,048
and I am not gonna take it anymore!
2016
01:52:42,132 --> 01:52:44,634
"Sick and tired of being a nigger?" What?
2017
01:52:51,349 --> 01:52:53,893
I don't think he's getting up.
2018
01:52:58,857 --> 01:53:00,900
- What is this?
- It must be a dance.
2019
01:53:03,987 --> 01:53:05,655
What the fuck is going on here?
2020
01:53:08,533 --> 01:53:10,743
Stop the tape! Stop the tape!
2021
01:53:10,827 --> 01:53:12,537
Stop the goddamn tape!
2022
01:53:12,620 --> 01:53:13,913
Stop! Cut!
2023
01:53:14,956 --> 01:53:17,000
Cut! Cut!
2024
01:53:17,083 --> 01:53:19,586
What are you doing? What are you doing?
2025
01:53:19,669 --> 01:53:20,670
Stop dancing!
2026
01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:22,422
- Get him out of the building!
- Yo, get off me!
2027
01:53:22,505 --> 01:53:25,675
- Stop dancing! Stop dancing!
- Get off me!
2028
01:53:25,925 --> 01:53:29,721
- Yo, what you doing? Yo, get off me, man!
- We apologize, ladies and gentlemen.
2029
01:53:30,513 --> 01:53:33,808
Just relax. We'll be right back
with a good show. Hold that.
2030
01:53:34,559 --> 01:53:37,270
Get him out of here! Get him out!
2031
01:53:37,353 --> 01:53:41,065
Ladies and gentlemen, uh, Mantan
has come down with a case of coon-itis.
2032
01:53:41,149 --> 01:53:44,110
Uh, we'll take him out back
and whip it right out of him.
2033
01:53:44,194 --> 01:53:46,779
I will have him out here
even if I have to cut off a foot.
2034
01:53:46,863 --> 01:53:50,033
He'll dance like —
2035
01:53:50,116 --> 01:53:52,410
- You just relax.
- Get him out.
2036
01:53:52,494 --> 01:53:54,078
I wasn't finished
doing my dancing!
2037
01:53:54,162 --> 01:53:56,331
But you are finished.
You're done.
2038
01:53:56,414 --> 01:53:58,082
You see, niggers like you
are a dime a dozen.
2039
01:53:58,166 --> 01:53:59,167
You think you're special?
2040
01:53:59,250 --> 01:54:01,085
I'm gonna just slide Honeycutt
right into your spot,
2041
01:54:01,169 --> 01:54:02,378
you fake-ass tap dance kid.
2042
01:54:02,462 --> 01:54:03,880
Get him out of the building.
2043
01:54:04,422 --> 01:54:05,715
Ungrateful motherf—
2044
01:54:05,798 --> 01:54:07,050
- Let's go, Honeycutt.
- Yes, sir.
2045
01:54:07,133 --> 01:54:08,134
I'll deal with you next.
2046
01:54:11,137 --> 01:54:13,389
- Don't ever come back no more!
- Yo, man.
2047
01:54:13,932 --> 01:54:15,266
This is bullshit.
2048
01:54:25,777 --> 01:54:28,863
- You a dead motherfucker.
- What did I do, man?
2049
01:54:28,947 --> 01:54:31,241
The clown motherfucker
wanna know what he did, y'all.
2050
01:54:31,324 --> 01:54:34,911
Ah, see, that's your goddamn problem.
You know exactly what the fuck you did.
2051
01:54:34,994 --> 01:54:38,498
Negro, you will be executed.
2052
01:54:38,581 --> 01:54:41,709
For what?
For singing and dancing? Come one!
2053
01:54:41,793 --> 01:54:44,462
- I'm just hoofin', man!
- "Just hoofin', man."
2054
01:54:44,546 --> 01:54:46,589
Yo, you're going to be done
in front of the whole world, man.
2055
01:54:46,673 --> 01:54:48,091
Telemundo.
2056
01:54:48,633 --> 01:54:50,927
The whole world is gonna be watching this.
2057
01:54:51,427 --> 01:54:54,889
The Mau Maus had come
up with a brilliant, sadistic plan
2058
01:54:54,973 --> 01:54:57,850
to broadcast Mantan's execution live.
2059
01:54:57,934 --> 01:55:00,395
No way we gonna be found out.
You ain't even here.

I come to you with a heavy heart.
2081
01:55:59,996 --> 01:56:04,959
This abduction is a cowardly,
vile, sinful, and dastardly act,
2082
01:56:05,043 --> 01:56:08,212
and I promise that these creeps
will be prosecuted
2083
01:56:08,296 --> 01:56:10,381
to the fullest extent of the law.
2084
01:56:11,049 --> 01:56:14,636
This is a total, complete attack
on our American way of life.
2085
01:56:16,012 --> 01:56:20,475
We here at CNS are offering
a $1 million cash reward

for any information that leads
to the safe return home

and the Dance of Death
was about to commence.
2094
01:56:42,038 --> 01:56:45,041
Since a lot of people
still don't have computers,
2095
01:56:45,124 --> 01:56:50,505
the networks sought a court order
to carry it live, taking it off the feed.
2096

Let him do some dancing for us.

Get up on your feet, man.
Show us them feet. Don't be ashamed.

02:02:56,245 --> 02:02:57,538
It's my night.
2149
02:02:58,998 --> 02:03:00,708
I want you to look at this shit.
2150
02:03:02,293 --> 02:03:04,170
Look to what you contributed to.
2151
02:03:06,589 --> 02:03:08,591
Because of you, my brother's dead...
2152
02:03:10,426 --> 02:03:12,678
Manray. You done fucked up everything!
2153
02:03:18,059 --> 02:03:20,895
- What if they are cannibals?
- You see all that shit?
2154
02:03:20,978 --> 02:03:22,646
They wouldn't dare do that
to white people.
2155
02:03:23,898 --> 02:03:25,316
Maybe they want some dark meat.
2156
02:03:25,399 --> 02:03:27,318
What do you have
to say for yourself?
2157
02:03:35,659 --> 02:03:37,995
What do you have
to say for yourself?
2158
02:03:39,955 --> 02:03:42,458
- Sloan, give me the gun.
- No. Don't.
2159
02:03:42,541 --> 02:03:43,793
- Please.
- Don't.
2160
02:03:46,045 --> 02:03:48,714
Don't, Peerless. Don't make me. No!
2161
02:03:48,798 --> 02:03:50,674
Don't come over here.
2162
02:04:03,687 --> 02:04:04,688
Peerless...
2163
02:04:05,898 --> 02:04:08,943
- Mmm... I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
2164
02:04:10,069 --> 02:04:14,156
You never listened to me.
You made me do that.
2165
02:04:18,327 --> 02:04:23,624
As I bled to death,
as my very life oozed out of me,
2166
02:04:23,707 --> 02:04:28,796
all I could think of was something
the great Negro James Baldwin had written.
2167
02:04:29,755 --> 02:04:31,841
"People pay for what they do,
2168
02:04:32,550 --> 02:04:36,804
and still more for what they have
allowed themselves to become.
2169
02:04:37,513 --> 02:04:42,226
And they pay for it very simply
by the lives they lead."
2170
02:04:42,685 --> 02:04:44,937
Now it was time for me to buy the farm.
2171
02:04:45,729 --> 02:04:47,690
To meet my maker.
2172
02:04:47,773 --> 02:04:49,316
Goodbye, cousins.
2173
02:04:49,942 --> 02:04:52,111
Please, tune in next week
2174
02:04:52,194 --> 02:04:58,576
for the best of
Mantan: The New Millennium Minstrel Show.
2175
02:05:00,077 --> 02:05:01,579
Gonna put your shoes on?
2176
02:05:01,662 --> 02:05:05,875
No, no. Savin' them
in case my feet wear out.
2177
02:05:05,958 --> 02:05:07,877
Well, Mr. Bones, how are you this evening?
2178
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:09,712
Me?
2179
02:05:09,795 --> 02:05:12,256
I's the personification
of health, Mr. Christie.
2180
02:05:12,339 --> 02:05:15,217
Good. Who was that lady
I saw you with this afternoon?
2181
02:05:15,301 --> 02:05:19,138
That was no lady. That was my wife.
2182
02:05:42,912 --> 02:05:45,331
I'll bust your head.
2183
02:05:46,040 --> 02:05:48,292
Good gracious me.
2184
02:06:09,855 --> 02:06:11,315
Uh, who is that?
2185
02:06:21,992 --> 02:06:26,038
What — what — what?
2186
02:06:27,164 --> 02:06:28,457
What's the matter with you, boy?
2187
02:06:35,631 --> 02:06:37,508
♪ For my mam... ♪
2188
02:06:37,591 --> 02:06:42,012
♪ Mammy! ♪
2189
02:06:42,096 --> 02:06:44,223
- What was that?
- How would I know?
2190
02:06:44,306 --> 02:06:46,225
Are you ready, Eliza?
2191
02:06:46,642 --> 02:06:48,769
I's ready, Uncle Tom.
2192
02:06:48,852 --> 02:06:51,105
Is you ready, Simon Legree?
2193
02:06:51,188 --> 02:06:52,982
I'm always ready.
2194
02:07:02,700 --> 02:07:04,702
I broke in as a bootblack, you know?
2195
02:07:05,661 --> 02:07:06,662
Here we go.
2196
02:07:08,497 --> 02:07:09,498
Oh.
2197
02:07:10,124 --> 02:07:13,669
For a month and a half, I've been dreaming
how pretty I was going to look tonight.
2198
02:07:14,211 --> 02:07:17,589
Well, here's my punishment
for thinking so well of myself.
2199
02:07:17,673 --> 02:07:20,384
This is tough to put on. And take off.
2200
02:07:23,762 --> 02:07:24,888
You know, you're lucky.
2201
02:07:56,879 --> 02:07:59,381
Hey. Cut them monkeyshines.
2202
02:07:59,465 --> 02:08:00,591
- Chicken house?
- Uh-huh.
2203
02:08:01,175 --> 02:08:02,968
- What am I waiting for?
- I don't know.
2204
02:08:03,052 --> 02:08:04,720
Me either. Tallyho.
2205
02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:09,683
Yassa.
2206
02:08:10,184 --> 02:08:12,311
- Yassa, mister.
- Yes, sir.
2207
02:08:12,394 --> 02:08:13,729
Yes, ma'am.
2208
02:08:13,812 --> 02:08:15,064
Yassa, Miss Bellmer.
2209
02:08:15,689 --> 02:08:16,899
Yes, Miss Maggie.
2210
02:08:17,608 --> 02:08:21,570
Brothers, it's certainly
gonna be a lesson to me.
2211
02:08:22,071 --> 02:08:25,574
Maybe
Baldwin was right, maybe he was wrong.
2212
02:08:26,492 --> 02:08:29,203
But, as my father often told me,
2213
02:08:30,329 --> 02:08:32,748
"Always keep 'em laughing."
