: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.

:09:00
Oh, really?
No one gave them a chance?

:09:03
You got your head
stuck so far up your ass...

:09:05
with your Harvard education
and pretentious Buppy ways.

:09:09
Brother man,
I'm blacker than you.

:09:11
I'm keeping it real.
I'm 'bout it, 'bout it.

:09:14
I got the roll.
:09:15
You're just frontin'
tryin' to be white.

:09:18
I'm an Aryan. A sellout.
:09:20
Because I don't aspire to do
"Homeboys from Outer Space"...

:09:24
"The Secret Diary
of Desmond Pfeiffer"...

:09:26
or, as you may put it,
some nigger show?

:09:29
-ls that what you think?
-Yes, exactly.

:09:32
You and I know black people
set the trends and styles.

:09:36
This is a golden opportunity
for CNS...

:09:38
but these idiots
have to be led to the water.

:09:40
We could do this together.
:09:41
I want a show
that will make headlines.

:09:43
I want millions and millions
of viewers tuned and glued...

:09:46
to their fucking televisions
every week saying,

:09:48
"Did you see what the fuck
they did on CNS last night?"

:09:51
I want advertisers sucking
my dick to buy on this show.

:09:55
And I'll squeeze it out of you
if it kills you.

:09:57
Peep this. I'll give you
a thousand dollars...
