482
00:27:23,076 --> 00:27:27,689
Corny. So wake me up
when y'all get ready
to let me outta here.

483
00:27:27,733 --> 00:27:32,128
I'm gonna sleep now.
[ Sighs ]

484
00:27:33,608 --> 00:27:37,481
[ Rocky ]
Obviously, we got a problem.

485
00:27:37,525 --> 00:27:42,791
What's happenin'?
Hmm?

486
00:27:42,835 --> 00:27:47,491
I know one of y'all
got an answer.

487
00:27:47,535 --> 00:27:52,496
Twice in two weeks the cops
have been on our shit.

488
00:27:52,540 --> 00:27:55,891
Somethin' ain't right.

489
00:27:55,935 --> 00:28:00,156
Y'all are gettin' sloppy, man.

490
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,985
Now, we got lucky this time,

491
00:28:03,029 --> 00:28:05,248
but ain't gonna be
no next time.

492
00:28:05,292 --> 00:28:07,903
Maybe if y'all did things
by the book--

493
00:28:07,947 --> 00:28:09,949
Maybe it's time
for a new book.

494
00:28:09,992 --> 00:28:13,735
X, I ain't in the mood, man.
We change tactics when I say so.

495
00:28:13,779 --> 00:28:17,696
How you sound, man?
You not in the mood.
When yousay so.

496
00:28:17,739 --> 00:28:19,915
We're the ones that gotta
make this shit work.

497
00:28:19,959 --> 00:28:23,919
Hell, Rocky,
you're not even around. [ Rocky ] Say what?

498
00:28:23,963 --> 00:28:26,356
I'm sayin' you're
not even around, Rocky.

499
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,359
When was the last time
you deprogrammed somebody?

500
00:28:29,403 --> 00:28:31,448
You don't know what we
gotta do in there because
you ain't been in there!

501
00:28:31,492 --> 00:28:35,322
I ain't been in there?
I founded the DROP Squad, man.

502
00:28:35,365 --> 00:28:38,760
We know that!
But this ain't the '80s,
brother, it's the '90s!

503
00:28:38,804 --> 00:28:40,762
And shit's
a whole lot more intense!

504
00:28:40,806 --> 00:28:43,460
We do whatever we gotta do
to get the point across.

505
00:28:43,504 --> 00:28:47,943
That's why people come to us. X, listen to me, man.

506
00:28:47,987 --> 00:28:50,772
We do one thing.
We talk to people.

507
00:28:50,816 --> 00:28:55,646
Period.
We don't hit 'em, and
we don't threaten 'em.

508
00:28:55,690 --> 00:28:59,346
[ Garvey ]
The problem is, Roc,

509
00:28:59,389 --> 00:29:03,306
these cats today, they ain't
tryin' to hear nothin', man.

510
00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:05,700
You gotta get
their attention first.

511
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:10,139
Garvey, I don't need you guys
freelancin' on me, man.

512
00:29:10,183 --> 00:29:14,361
Ain't nobody freelancin'
on you, brother. We got a system that works.

513
00:29:14,404 --> 00:29:16,667
Just stick with it.
All right?

514
00:29:16,711 --> 00:29:18,626
All right.

515
00:29:21,716 --> 00:29:24,153
Excuse me.
[ Panting ]

516
00:29:24,197 --> 00:29:28,505
Um, I need to talk
to somebody in charge, please.

517
00:29:28,549 --> 00:29:31,682
[ Garvey ]
Bruford R. Jamison, Jr.

518
00:29:31,726 --> 00:29:34,511
Your boss man
must love you.

519
00:29:34,555 --> 00:29:39,516
Look, man, I, uh--
I just wrapped up the biggest
project of my career.

520
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,518
Mm-hmm.Whoo!

521
00:29:41,562 --> 00:29:43,520
It's gonna be my last one
unless I get outta here.

522
00:29:43,564 --> 00:29:47,524
Now, come on,
y'all made your point, okay?
Can I just get outta here?

523
00:29:47,568 --> 00:29:51,006
What's the matter,
Bruford? Can't you miss
a few days from work?

524
00:29:51,050 --> 00:29:53,182
I got bills to pay
like everybody else.

525
00:29:53,226 --> 00:29:56,533
Now, y'all are messin'
with my livelihood, man.Stop whinin', man.

526
00:29:56,577 --> 00:29:58,535
Whinin'! Whinin'!

527
00:29:58,579 --> 00:30:00,537
Maybe you need
to lose that gig.

528
00:30:00,581 --> 00:30:03,192
Maybe that will put your ass
back in touch with reality.Reality.

529
00:30:03,236 --> 00:30:05,542
Reality!
Reality, boy!Reality, reality. Wake up!

530
00:30:05,586 --> 00:30:08,023
Y'all the ones that's
out of touch with reality!

531
00:30:08,067 --> 00:30:10,199
Don't piss
your pants, brother.

532
00:30:10,243 --> 00:30:12,985
Them white boys don't
even know you're gone,
believe me.

533
00:30:15,248 --> 00:30:17,728
Hey, how ya doin? [ Man ] I'm serious.

534
00:30:17,772 --> 00:30:21,732
Kyra thought she was all that,
and the devil kicked her
to the curb.

535
00:30:21,776 --> 00:30:25,388
You got to know
how to play it smart.You're late.

536
00:30:25,432 --> 00:30:27,869
White man wouldn't let go
of my nigger toe.Thanks.

537
00:30:27,913 --> 00:30:31,046
How you feelin'? [ Woman ]
Aw, shut up.

538
00:30:31,090 --> 00:30:34,876
I got the I-hate-my-job,
but-times-are-too-tight
to-quit blues.

539
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,878
How you sound, girl.

540
00:30:36,922 --> 00:30:40,055
There's got to be
a better way to serve
the community.

541
00:30:40,099 --> 00:30:43,058
What are you talkin' about?
You do a lot of good things
with the community.

542
00:30:43,102 --> 00:30:46,409
Hey, didn't you get the company
to participate in the National
Black Family Reunion? Huh?

543
00:30:46,453 --> 00:30:48,890
Right. They sponsored
a jump rope contest.

544
00:30:48,934 --> 00:30:51,893
"Jump for Freedom."
What's that?

545
00:30:51,937 --> 00:30:54,417
I was out there jumpin'
for my freedom.

546
00:30:54,461 --> 00:30:56,767
It's not funny.

547
00:30:56,811 --> 00:31:00,467
All I do all day long is
spend my time explaining
away their bad judgment.

548
00:31:00,510 --> 00:31:03,600
See, baby, that's your problem.
You keep thinkin' they have
the best interests...

549
00:31:03,644 --> 00:31:05,602
of the community at heart.
Uh-uh.

550
00:31:05,646 --> 00:31:07,822
Honey, I know
whose best interests
they have at heart.

551
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:11,347
Y'all just kill me
with this "they" stuff.

552
00:31:11,391 --> 00:31:14,263
We are "they."

553
00:31:14,307 --> 00:31:16,483
Bruford, you helped
come up with that...

554
00:31:16,526 --> 00:31:19,703
old, crazy Mumbling Jack
campaign, didn't you?

555
00:31:19,747 --> 00:31:23,620
Rosette, you're just mad
because I didn't let your drunk
behind pose for the poster.

556
00:31:23,664 --> 00:31:29,322
So, Rosie, why don't you
let me give you a hand on
this General Otis thing?

557
00:31:29,365 --> 00:31:31,541
I'll get us both a raise.

558
00:31:31,585 --> 00:31:33,500
So what's your idea?

559
00:31:33,543 --> 00:31:37,678
A half-naked lady with a chicken
in between her legs?

560
00:31:37,721 --> 00:31:42,901
[ Laughing ]
Girl, please!

561
00:31:42,944 --> 00:31:45,860
Ha, ha, ha.
Girl, that was
just a beer ad.

562
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:48,515
I didn't see the need
for a black history
lesson, okay?

563
00:31:48,558 --> 00:31:51,126
I'll just pass on your help,
thank you very much.

564
00:31:51,170 --> 00:31:55,522
Look, we get paid to sell goods
to black people. Period. [ Janet ] That's right.

565
00:31:55,565 --> 00:31:58,351
By any means necessary, right?

566
00:31:58,394 --> 00:32:02,833
If you want to get deep about it, go ahead, but I understood that comin' in.

567
00:32:02,877 --> 00:32:06,881
Let me ask you a question.
If you're a vegetarian,
do you work at a meat factory?

568
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:09,188
Bruford,
it's not that simple,
and you know it.

569
00:32:09,231 --> 00:32:11,364
It's as simple as using
your common sense.

570
00:32:11,407 --> 00:32:14,236
If you know Mumbling Jack
is gonna tear up your liver,
don't buy it.

571
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,587
Seriously. I mean, why make it
a black-white thing, Rosette?

572
00:32:17,631 --> 00:32:21,548
[ Bruford ] Right! If white folks drank this, we'd be trying to sell it to them too.

573
00:32:21,591 --> 00:32:24,899
- But they don't!
- Right! So what
are we supposed to do?

574
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:26,901
Chase behind black folks
and hold their hands...

575
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:30,557
and tell them don't eat this,
don't drink that, don't buy--

576
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,995
Folks gotta make
their own decisions. [ Janet ] That's right.

577
00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:36,084
It's not my personal
responsibility.

578
00:32:41,046 --> 00:32:43,222
It's not.

579
00:32:43,265 --> 00:32:45,615
[ Garvey ]
You ain't nothin' but a token. [ Trevor ] Token!

580
00:32:45,659 --> 00:32:47,226
[ Zora ] Token! [ Garvey ] Your whole
department is bullshit!

581
00:32:47,269 --> 00:32:49,532
Bullshit!A bunch of over-privileged
Negroes!

582
00:32:49,576 --> 00:32:51,708
Negroes!Tryin' to out-white
each other!

583
00:32:51,752 --> 00:32:54,537
Whitewash!Over-privileged? Huh?
I earned my damn job!

584
00:32:54,581 --> 00:32:56,713
You ain't
earned shit!
Shit!
Shit!

585
00:32:56,757 --> 00:32:59,890
It was earned for you
by a lot of people you
seem to wanna forget!

586
00:32:59,934 --> 00:33:01,892
I haven't forgotten anybody.
Look, I don't need to explain.

587
00:33:01,936 --> 00:33:05,374
Oh, brother, please!
You forget whoever
they pay you to forget!

588
00:33:05,418 --> 00:33:07,724
And you probably
couldn't wait
to sell Kyra out!

589
00:33:07,768 --> 00:33:09,726
Sellout, sellout,
sellout!No, no, no!

590
00:33:09,770 --> 00:33:12,555
Kyra couldn't cut it.
No, she couldn't cut it,
and she quit!

591
00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:15,776
She was confused.
I'm not.

592
00:33:15,819 --> 00:33:18,039
Look, it's a game,
you know?

593
00:33:18,083 --> 00:33:22,043
Sometimes in that game
you gotta separate your
politics from your goals.

594
00:33:22,087 --> 00:33:24,915
Apparently your goal
is to be a sellout.Sellout!

595
00:33:24,959 --> 00:33:29,050
Sellout!All right. So what
would you have me do?

596
00:33:29,094 --> 00:33:31,052
Go in there and start
makin' demands?

597
00:33:31,096 --> 00:33:33,141
It's their company.

598
00:33:33,185 --> 00:33:36,318
This is bullshit. I don't
need explain myself to you...[ Screeches ]

599
00:33:36,362 --> 00:33:38,494
or anybody else.Yeah, eloquent,
but incorrect,

600

seein' as you're the one
tied to the chair.Like a dog!

601
00:33:40,714 --> 00:33:43,151
Wrong!Let me tell you
what I think.

602
00:33:43,195 --> 00:33:45,327
I don't care what you think.
You don't know my life
or what I'm livin'.

603
00:33:45,371 --> 00:33:49,157
Nigger, I got you, baby!
Right here!

604
00:33:49,201 --> 00:33:52,856
I only need to know
a fraction of this
to know your sorry ass!

605
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:55,685
Motherfuckers like you
laugh at nigger jokes
with your white friends!

606
00:33:55,729 --> 00:33:58,166
Nigger, nigger, nigger,
nigger, nigger, nigger!With niggers like y'all,

607

that's all we'll ever be
to them, a joke! [ Zora ] Funny, brother!

00:34:02,649 --> 00:34:06,044
No, it ain't funny.

609

Y'all think y'all got it all
figured out, don't you? Huh?

610
00:34:10,918 --> 00:34:13,051
Y'all don't know shit, man.

611
00:34:13,094 --> 00:34:16,054
Y'all don't know shit
about reality.

612
00:34:16,097 --> 00:34:20,058
Y'all couldn't handle it
anyway, you know?

613
00:34:20,101 --> 00:34:23,887
Brother, for you
this is reality. You should
start to deal with that!

614
00:34:23,931 --> 00:34:27,456
Yeah? Well, you should
kiss my natural black ass,
you bald-headed piece of--

00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:30,720
Oh! All right!

You gonna need it.

[ Gasping, Coughing ]Uh-huh.

618
00:34:40,730 --> 00:34:45,213
[ Bruford ]
It's all right.
I got all day.

619
00:34:45,257 --> 00:34:49,130
Huey, give our boy
a black history minute.

620
00:34:49,174 --> 00:34:51,567

Welcome to the wonderful

I don't want you
to get into trouble.

Come with me as we return...I'm gonna send you over
with Miss Ibo.

everything.

Now we gonna
do it my way.

How ya doin', babe?

Come in right through
the front damn window.
You need a revolvin' door.

Why don't you check upstairs,
see what else they
might have taken.

why don't you lay your shit
out in the street?
