:07:01
except when it comes
to music or dance...

:07:04
then you can set
your watch to them.

:07:06
I'm sorry about my blowup.
:07:09
It's OK. I understand.
:07:11
Listen, let's sit down.
:07:13
I know you're the most creative
person I've got on staff.

:07:17
I mean, you're hip,
you know what's happening.

:07:20
I've got a bunch of pasty-ass
white boys and girls...

:07:22
writing for me,
you know what I mean?

:07:24
I grew up around black people
my whole life.

:07:27
If the truth be told, I probably
know niggers better than you.

:07:30
Don't go getting offended
by my use of the N-word.

:07:34
I have a black wife
and two biracial kids...

:07:36
so I feel I have a right.
:07:37
I don't give a goddamn
what that prick Spike Lee says.

:07:40
Tarantino was right.
"Nigger" is just a word.

:07:42
If Old Dirty Bastard can use it,
why can't l?

:07:46
I would prefer if you did not
use that word in my presence.

:07:49
Oh, really?
:07:52
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger.
:07:54
Whitey, whitey, whitey, whitey!
:07:58
The material you've been writing
is too white-bread.

:08:01
It's white people
with black faces.

:08:03
The Huxtables, Cosby--
a genius, revolutionary.

:08:06
Theo, Lisa Bonet--dope.
:08:08
But we can't go down
that road again.

:08:10
I disagree.
:08:11
The Negro middle class
does exist...

:08:13
and it's fertile ground for
a dramatic series or a sitcom.

:08:17
Look at this stuff
I'm having to read.

:08:20
A black family moves into
a white suburban enclave.

:08:26
This is shit.
:08:28
A black girl is adopted
by some chink American family?

:08:32
They were Polynesian.
:08:33
A black headmaster is hired...
:08:35
at some old-money, crusty,
Eastern boarding school.

:08:39
Garbage. It's too clean,
it's too antiseptic.

:08:43
-It's too--
-White.

:08:45
Delacroix, wake up, brother man.
:08:47
The reason why these shows
didn't get picked up...

:08:50
is because nobody,
no-motherfuckin'-body...

:08:52
niggers and crackers alike,
wants to see that junk.

:08:55
People want to be entertained.
:08:57
It didn't get picked up
because no one gave it a chance.
