That's right!

00:00:09,933 --> 00:00:11,899
- You get a partnership!
- [Doug] What?

4
00:00:11,935 --> 00:00:14,168
- And you get a partnership!
- No. No way!

5
00:00:14,203 --> 00:00:15,436
- [Clyde screaming]
- Are you serious?!

6
00:00:15,438 --> 00:00:18,205
We are on our way
to Angeles Crest Highway.

00:00:18,241 --> 00:00:21,676
Don't worry, I'll have Jeremiah
home by 2:00, Mr. Kaan.

8
00:00:21,711 --> 00:00:23,077
I'd like for you
to advise the campaign.

9
00:00:23,112 --> 00:00:24,412
All right, I want you
to be part of this.

10
00:00:24,447 --> 00:00:25,580
I'm not taking no
for an answer.

00:00:25,615 --> 00:00:26,998
- Ron Zobel? What the f...?
- [Ron] Oh, hi.

12
00:00:27,033 --> 00:00:29,150
I got your message
last night, man.

13
00:00:29,185 --> 00:00:31,252
And the way you talked
about working together,

14
00:00:31,287 --> 00:00:33,588
I'm yours, balls deep,
my brother.

it around my neck.

Get your ass over here!
Come on!

00:01:27,010 --> 00:01:28,976
You look rested, man.
How was the cruise?

34
00:01:29,012 --> 00:01:30,511
Anchors aweigh, huh?
Anchors aweigh.

35
00:01:30,563 --> 00:01:32,563
Yeah, it wasn't really
that kind of a trip, Ron.

36
00:01:32,598 --> 00:01:34,015
- Sorry, all right, all right.
- Okay?

37
00:01:34,017 --> 00:01:36,350
I had no idea I'd be coming
back to fucking Quantico.

38
00:01:36,402 --> 00:01:38,019
I mean, what
clearance level

39
00:01:38,071 --> 00:01:39,654
do I need to walk into
my own goddamn office?

40
00:01:39,689 --> 00:01:40,855
Did you get my e-mails?

41
00:01:40,857 --> 00:01:42,923
Yeah, I got about 200
of the fucking things.

42
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,942
I hired you
to mind the store.

43
00:01:44,994 --> 00:01:46,527
Not turn it into
fucking Gitmo.

44
00:01:46,529 --> 00:01:49,163
Yeah, well, your store is
in a sketchy hood, Marty.

45
00:01:49,198 --> 00:01:52,199
And it's rampant with cyber
theft, corporate espionage.

46
00:01:52,251 --> 00:01:55,436
These upgraded security measures
are how you stay in business,

47
00:01:55,471 --> 00:01:56,971
not to mention put
a spit-shine on the place

48
00:01:57,006 --> 00:01:59,757
up your valuation, you know,
getting K and A all sexy

49
00:01:59,792 --> 00:02:01,208

and the Kohl brothers.

50
00:02:01,210 --> 00:02:02,510
Uh-huh.

51
00:02:02,545 --> 00:02:04,378
Also positions you rather
nicely to take over

52
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:05,379
once I leave, huh?

53
00:02:05,381 --> 00:02:06,380
Well, you know.

54
00:02:06,382 --> 00:02:07,381
- Big shoes to fill, man.
- Yeah.

55
00:02:07,383 --> 00:02:08,716
What, are you a size 12, 13?

56
00:02:08,768 --> 00:02:10,051
[chuckles] Hey, Ron, is it hard
for you to breathe like that?

57
00:02:10,103 --> 00:02:11,452
What do you mean?

You know, with your nose jammed
all the way up my ass.

59
00:02:13,856 --> 00:02:16,107
[wry laugh] So I hear you're
about to close Delcour, huh?

60
00:02:16,142 --> 00:02:20,277
Huh? Getting our cosmetic
index all engorged

61
00:02:20,313 --> 00:02:21,829
and tingly? [spits]

62
00:02:21,864 --> 00:02:24,131
[wry laugh] What the
fuck is wrong with you?

63
00:02:24,167 --> 00:02:26,000
Not a goddamn thing.

64
00:02:26,035 --> 00:02:27,952
Good luck today.

65

[Clyde]
So you think voters will

66
00:02:29,238 --> 00:02:31,072
just trade in their keys
for a bus pass?

67
00:02:31,124 --> 00:02:33,574
Los Angeles loses its way
as a first-class city

68
00:02:33,626 --> 00:02:35,459
if we're relying on cars to
drive us into the future.

69
00:02:35,495 --> 00:02:37,628
I hear you; I understand
what you're saying,

70
00:02:37,663 --> 00:02:39,747
but launching major initiatives
in... what do we have?

71
00:02:39,799 --> 00:02:41,215
Public transportation,

72
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:44,835
water conservation, and school
reform in your first term?

73
00:02:44,887 --> 00:02:46,187
Dude, it's gonna break the bank.

74
00:02:46,222 --> 00:02:49,423
Seth, please, you have
to set priorities.

75
00:02:49,475 --> 00:02:50,474
They're all priorities.

76
00:02:50,510 --> 00:02:52,660
What if...
one of them wasn't?

77
00:02:52,695 --> 00:02:53,761
[laughs]

78
00:02:53,763 --> 00:02:54,895
They're all gonna face
stiff oppositions.

79
00:02:54,931 --> 00:02:56,097
I know that.

80
00:02:56,099 --> 00:02:57,264
Look, that's what
I'm talking about.

81
00:02:57,266 --> 00:02:59,100
I mean, in our current
political culture,

82
00:02:59,152 --> 00:03:00,684
we've internalized the "no."

83
00:03:00,737 --> 00:03:02,103
We don't reach for things
anymore, because

84
00:03:02,155 --> 00:03:03,537
what's the point?
Nothing's gonna

85
00:03:03,573 --> 00:03:05,740
come of it, anyway,
so why even try?

86
00:03:05,775 --> 00:03:08,192
But when we stop shooting
for the moon,

87
00:03:08,244 --> 00:03:10,344
I tell you, man, we...
we die as a society.

88
00:03:10,379 --> 00:03:12,613
Oh! If I weren't
holding this bagel,

89
00:03:12,665 --> 00:03:13,614
I would slow-clap

90
00:03:13,666 --> 00:03:15,783
the shit out of this moment.

91
00:03:15,785 --> 00:03:18,018
Um, Clyde, we're getting
ready to head out.

92
00:03:18,054 --> 00:03:20,221
You two will have to continue
crafting empty promises later.

93
00:03:20,256 --> 00:03:21,288
Well, now, wait a second.

94
00:03:21,290 --> 00:03:22,356
What makes you think
they're empty?

95
00:03:22,391 --> 00:03:23,874
Um...

96
00:03:23,926 --> 00:03:25,292
I've been alive.

99
00:03:28,798 --> 00:03:29,930

100
00:03:29,966 --> 00:03:31,365
Or are you fi... you're fine.

101
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,400
- Okay.
- [Clyde] Okay.

to hear them.

00:03:49,819 --> 00:03:51,552
- Thank you so much.
- [Seth] No, actually,

114

y-you have a little
bit of cream cheese...

- How you doing?
- Nice to meet you.

- You, too.
- And you know what?

127
00:04:12,925 --> 00:04:15,142
- I think that is everybody.
- No, not quite everybody.

128
00:04:15,178 --> 00:04:16,510
So if you want to head
on out, I'm telling you,

129
00:04:16,512 --> 00:04:17,595
- you should get out right now.

00:04:20,116 --> 00:04:22,349
Can we go now? 'Cause we do
have a hair appointment to keep.

- Great.

- Thank you.

You can let yourself out?

138
00:04:28,407 --> 00:04:29,423
Yeah, yeah, actually,

What is her story?

Who, Jeannie?

142
00:04:34,580 --> 00:04:35,913
It'd be cool if I call her?

143
00:04:35,948 --> 00:04:38,082
Why would you call Jeannie?

144
00:04:38,117 --> 00:04:39,834
Well, why do you think
I'd call her?

145
00:04:41,287 --> 00:04:42,703
I'm assuming
you have her number?

146
00:04:42,705 --> 00:04:45,039
Yeah.

147
00:04:45,041 --> 00:04:47,041
I got her number,
all right.

[Doug] Oh, wow!

Can you believe
all these free samples?

Douglas, those products
are for black hair.

Don't forget to use
a relaxer

the custard in.

Yeah. I know.

00:05:11,951 --> 00:05:13,400
I also mean the sex.

162
00:05:13,452 --> 00:05:15,903
Oh, yeah, vegetables...
not just for salad anymore.

163
00:05:15,905 --> 00:05:17,571
[man] Whether she wants
a more relaxed look,

164
00:05:17,623 --> 00:05:20,457
or a natural, or just
to have fun with braids,

165
00:05:20,493 --> 00:05:23,077
we offer a variety of
organic conditioners

166
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:24,795
that will keep
her hair healthy.

167
00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:26,247
Go ahead, baby,
give it a whip.

168
00:05:26,299 --> 00:05:27,248
[thwack]

169
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:29,416
Oh... whew!

170
00:05:29,418 --> 00:05:33,003
Well, snatch off your wave caps
and set down your hot combs.

171
00:05:33,055 --> 00:05:34,922
We are at the annual

172
00:05:34,924 --> 00:05:37,758
Braxton Brothers
International Beauty Sh...

173
00:05:37,810 --> 00:05:38,759
[coughs, spits]

174
00:05:38,811 --> 00:05:40,761
Jesus!

175
00:05:40,763 --> 00:05:43,681
...one of the largest trade
exhibitions for black hair.

176
00:05:43,733 --> 00:05:46,016
Come see the newest
trends or...

177
00:05:46,068 --> 00:05:50,738
set up a booth and cash in
on the over $700 million dollars

178
00:05:50,773 --> 00:05:53,407
that black folks spend every
year to get their hair did.

179
00:05:53,442 --> 00:05:54,942
Let the church say, "Amen"?

180
00:05:54,994 --> 00:05:56,694
[all]
Amen!

181
00:05:56,746 --> 00:05:58,612
[Marty]
Mm!

182
00:05:58,664 --> 00:06:01,332
Oh, and these rather anxious-
looking white folks here?

183
00:06:01,367 --> 00:06:05,869
They are our clients,
executives at Delcour,

184
00:06:05,922 --> 00:06:08,172
third largest beauty
company in the world,

185
00:06:08,207 --> 00:06:12,676
promising to bring "Paris
runways to your driveway."

186
00:06:12,712 --> 00:06:15,512
Like countless European
colonizers before them,

187
00:06:15,548 --> 00:06:19,516
Delcour sees opportunity
on this dark continent.

188
00:06:19,552 --> 00:06:22,636
So we are just going
to have to colonize...

189
00:06:23,889 --> 00:06:25,105
...the colonizers.

190
00:06:26,058 --> 00:06:27,641
Devin, we are
so excited

191
00:06:27,693 --> 00:06:29,610
to relaunch your brand
under our banner.

192
00:06:29,645 --> 00:06:30,744
All right.
Marty.

193
00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:33,030
[chuckles] Hey. So, have
you reviewed the offer?

194
00:06:33,065 --> 00:06:35,115
We have, and it's
very generous.

195
00:06:35,151 --> 00:06:36,116
We're almost there.

196
00:06:36,152 --> 00:06:37,217
Almost?

197
00:06:37,253 --> 00:06:38,953
Hey, who's gonna see
change coming?

198
00:06:38,988 --> 00:06:40,154
Me or these guys?

199
00:06:40,206 --> 00:06:42,206
I cannot maintain an edge

200
00:06:42,241 --> 00:06:44,491
unless I have final say

201
00:06:44,493 --> 00:06:47,227
over Planet Curl's
operational budget.

202
00:06:47,263 --> 00:06:48,762
We're gonna look over
the counteroffer.

203
00:06:48,798 --> 00:06:49,747
- Great.
- [phone rings]

204
00:06:49,799 --> 00:06:50,831
Hold on.

205
00:06:50,833 --> 00:06:51,999
- [clears throat]
- [ringing continues]

206
00:06:52,001 --> 00:06:53,217
I'm sorry,
I gotta take this.

207
00:06:53,252 --> 00:06:55,419
- [Marty] Sure.
- [ringing continues]

208
00:06:55,471 --> 00:06:57,471
And this smooth
motherfucker right here,

209
00:06:57,506 --> 00:07:01,008
[wry laugh] waving his black
flag to leverage more control,

210
00:07:01,010 --> 00:07:04,345
this is Devin Townsend,
CEO of Planet Curl,

211
00:07:04,347 --> 00:07:07,097
and soon to be head of
Delcour's Planet Curl division.

212
00:07:07,149 --> 00:07:08,182
[ringing resumes]

213
00:07:08,234 --> 00:07:10,484
Marty, what is with
all these demands?

214
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:11,568
I thought we had a deal.

215
00:07:11,604 --> 00:07:13,487
I guess the guy really
knows his worth.

216
00:07:13,522 --> 00:07:14,688
Devin Townsend
grew Planet Curl

217
00:07:14,740 --> 00:07:17,358
to $70 million dollars
in sales last year alone.

218
00:07:17,410 --> 00:07:18,692
[Doug]
Oh, yeah, hands down,

219
00:07:18,744 --> 00:07:20,694
that man is your best entrée
into this market space.

220
00:07:20,746 --> 00:07:21,762
Correct.

221
00:07:21,797 --> 00:07:22,946
I would not have flown

222
00:07:22,999 --> 00:07:25,666
to this asshole you call
a city if he wasn't.

223
00:07:25,701 --> 00:07:27,334
We are ready to close.

224
00:07:27,370 --> 00:07:28,869
Make him an offer
he'll sign, okay?

225
00:07:28,921 --> 00:07:30,137
That's what we're working on.

226
00:07:30,172 --> 00:07:31,839
[golf putter hitting ball]

227
00:07:31,874 --> 00:07:33,290
[Donald groans]

228
00:07:33,342 --> 00:07:35,259
[chuckles]
Tough greens to read!

229
00:07:35,294 --> 00:07:36,343
[Devin] Maybe she thought
there was

230
00:07:36,379 --> 00:07:37,428
a second hole
past the first hole.

231
00:07:37,463 --> 00:07:38,429
[Devin snickers]

232
00:07:38,464 --> 00:07:39,680
[Donald laughs]

233
00:07:39,715 --> 00:07:41,015
If y'all are still hungry,

234
00:07:41,050 --> 00:07:42,883
I left a sack of dicks
you can munch on

235
00:07:42,885 --> 00:07:44,385
back at the clubhouse.

236
00:07:45,554 --> 00:07:46,603
- [Devin whoops]
- Hey, keep it up.

237
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:47,771
- All right, you too, man.
- Keep it up.

238
00:07:47,807 --> 00:07:48,772
Keep it up and
that money's ours.

239
00:07:48,808 --> 00:07:50,224
Start that on the green, hard.

240
00:07:50,226 --> 00:07:53,894
Rita, you ever see a movie
called <i>The Color of Money?</i>

241
00:07:53,896 --> 00:07:55,229
You know, if you're gonna
hustle somebody,

242
00:07:55,231 --> 00:07:56,563
you actually have to
start making shots.

243
00:07:56,615 --> 00:07:57,815
I mean, you can golf, right?

244
00:07:57,867 --> 00:07:59,366
You need to chill
the fuck out, Marty.

245
00:07:59,402 --> 00:08:00,484
I got this.

246
00:08:00,536 --> 00:08:02,536
Just go hit another
one of your shitty ones.

247
00:08:02,571 --> 00:08:03,670
[Devin]
I may skip

248
00:08:03,706 --> 00:08:05,122
this Delcour deal, Marty.

249
00:08:05,157 --> 00:08:07,541
I can make more money, uh,
playing golf with your friends.

250
00:08:07,576 --> 00:08:08,542
[both laughing]

251
00:08:08,577 --> 00:08:09,543
[Marty]
Oh, uh,

252
00:08:09,578 --> 00:08:10,544
she's not my friend, okay?

253
00:08:10,579 --> 00:08:12,046
She's dating my dad.

254
00:08:12,081 --> 00:08:14,465
[dramatic gasp] Oh, you brought
your stepmother to play golf.

255
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:16,150
- That is so sweet.
- [Marty chuckles]

256
00:08:16,185 --> 00:08:18,318
Not actually
my stepmother, either.

257
00:08:18,354 --> 00:08:19,503
Okay. All right.

258
00:08:19,555 --> 00:08:21,138
Change is hardest
on the children.

259
00:08:21,173 --> 00:08:22,556
- [Donald] Hmm.
- [laughing]

260
00:08:22,591 --> 00:08:24,641
Rita, before I forget,
my wife wants to get

261
00:08:24,677 --> 00:08:26,143
something called a blowout?

262
00:08:26,178 --> 00:08:27,811
Yeah, she said she wants
to keep it all natural.

263
00:08:27,847 --> 00:08:29,396
Can you give me
a recommendation to a salon

264
00:08:29,432 --> 00:08:30,397
or something like that?

265
00:08:30,433 --> 00:08:31,815
Oh, yes, she should check out...

266
00:08:31,851 --> 00:08:33,567
Well, it all depends on the
texture of the hair, you know.

267
00:08:33,602 --> 00:08:35,102
No, no, go ahead,
'cause you know more

268
00:08:35,104 --> 00:08:36,270
about black women's hair
than me.

269
00:08:36,322 --> 00:08:38,405
Well, take Rita here,
you know?

270
00:08:38,441 --> 00:08:40,274
She's got real shiny curls,

271
00:08:40,276 --> 00:08:41,742
and I tell you, man,
this...

272
00:08:41,777 --> 00:08:43,110
look how healthy
this hair is, really.

273
00:08:43,112 --> 00:08:44,278
And the color is great, too.

274
00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:46,280
You must use a deep
conditioning treatment...

275
00:08:46,332 --> 00:08:47,881
something...
this is amazing.

276
00:08:47,917 --> 00:08:51,185
Where did you say you
were from again? De-Detroit?

277
00:08:51,220 --> 00:08:52,286
Yeah, yeah. You?

278
00:08:52,288 --> 00:08:53,353
Oh, uh, Virginia.

279
00:08:53,389 --> 00:08:54,788
But I heard
about this place,

280
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:56,457
um, the Carriage House...

281
00:08:56,459 --> 00:08:58,692
it's supposed to have the
best soul food in Detroit.

282
00:08:58,727 --> 00:09:00,127
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
No, that place is the bomb.

283
00:09:00,129 --> 00:09:01,128
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

284
00:09:01,130 --> 00:09:02,262
[Marty]
Hey, black Zagat's.

285
00:09:02,298 --> 00:09:03,397
Can we golf?

286
00:09:03,432 --> 00:09:05,182
[all talking at once]

287
00:09:05,217 --> 00:09:06,633
Yeah, I didn't know
we was that loud.

288
00:09:06,635 --> 00:09:07,768
Come on, man!

289
00:09:12,358 --> 00:09:14,041
- Oh, get... get!
- Oh, no...

290
00:09:14,076 --> 00:09:16,643
- Oh, man. That's not good.
- Come on, man.

291
00:09:16,695 --> 00:09:17,978
- [Donald] Marty, close the face.
- Yeah, I know.

292
00:09:18,030 --> 00:09:19,029
- Close the face down.
- I know.

293
00:09:19,064 --> 00:09:20,030
Oh, let me line you
up here, dawg.

294
00:09:20,065 --> 00:09:21,148
Nah, I got this,
big dawg.

295
00:09:21,150 --> 00:09:22,316
[Devin] I got you, man!
Come, let's do it!

296
00:09:22,318 --> 00:09:23,317
[Donald]
I notice you tend to put

297
00:09:23,319 --> 00:09:24,368
some backspin
on that bad boy.

298
00:09:24,403 --> 00:09:26,370
Uh, you might want
to check your boy.

299
00:09:26,405 --> 00:09:28,322
Which one?

300
00:09:28,324 --> 00:09:30,491
Devin. The white one.

301
00:09:30,543 --> 00:09:32,543
What the fuck are
you talking about?

302
00:09:32,578 --> 00:09:34,461
He looks black,
he says he's black,

303
00:09:34,497 --> 00:09:35,629
but he ain't black.

304
00:09:35,664 --> 00:09:37,164
The Carriage House
does not have

305
00:09:37,216 --> 00:09:38,732
the best soul food
in Detroit.

306
00:09:38,767 --> 00:09:40,884
Do you know why
I know that?

307
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,137
Because the Carriage
House is in Chicago.

308
00:09:43,172 --> 00:09:45,772
What are you... What is this,
a Columbo act or something?

309
00:09:45,808 --> 00:09:49,643
Furthermore, that fake Negro
had his hand all up in my hair.

310
00:09:49,678 --> 00:09:53,013
Unless you're my stylist and
I'm sitting in your chair,

311
00:09:53,065 --> 00:09:55,649
I don't give a fuck what
you do for a living...

312
00:09:55,684 --> 00:09:58,185
you do not touch a
black woman's hair.

313
00:09:58,237 --> 00:10:00,921
Even you know that, Marty, and
you don't even date black women.

314
00:10:00,956 --> 00:10:02,489
- I...
- Stop.

315
00:10:02,525 --> 00:10:04,258
[Donald]
Oh, boy, oh, boy,

316
00:10:04,293 --> 00:10:06,243
- oh, boy!
- Oh, no.

317
00:10:06,278 --> 00:10:07,694
It's gonna be
a long day, brah.

318
00:10:07,696 --> 00:10:10,197
Oh, no, I can feel the money
just going in my pocket.

319
00:10:10,199 --> 00:10:12,366
- Shimmy, shimmy. Mm-hmm.
- Mmm.

320
00:10:12,418 --> 00:10:13,967
- This just feels so good.
- [Donald laughs]

321
00:10:14,003 --> 00:10:17,938
Why don't we play the back nine
at, uh, $300 a hole?

322
00:10:17,973 --> 00:10:19,923
- Oh, shit, by all means.
- Yeah. Yes.

323
00:10:19,959 --> 00:10:22,009
- Please, let's do.
- Listen, if you want to keep

324
00:10:22,044 --> 00:10:23,510
contributing to
my retirement fund,

325
00:10:23,546 --> 00:10:26,046
your money's
still green.

326
00:10:29,385 --> 00:10:30,634
- What the...?
- Oh, shit.

327
00:10:30,686 --> 00:10:32,269
You trying... you trying
to hustle us, Marty?

328
00:10:32,304 --> 00:10:33,487
A good shot.

329
00:10:33,522 --> 00:10:35,189
All right, now,
which one of you ass-clowns

330
00:10:35,224 --> 00:10:37,724
wants to be the mystical caddy
in my <i>Bagger Vance?</i>

331
00:10:37,776 --> 00:10:39,393
All-time top ten.

332
00:10:39,395 --> 00:10:42,729
Love that movie.

333
00:10:42,731 --> 00:10:45,232
A man's grip on his club
is like his grip on the world.

334
00:10:45,234 --> 00:10:46,533
- Uh-huh.
- Yes.

335
00:10:46,569 --> 00:10:47,951
He just said he
loved <i>Bagger Vance.</i>

336
00:10:47,987 --> 00:10:49,536
- Just...
- <i>The Legend of.</i>

337
00:10:49,572 --> 00:10:50,737
[golf club swings]

338
00:10:50,789 --> 00:10:52,239
[Doug]
<i>Well, the good news is</i>

339
00:10:52,241 --> 00:10:53,640
<i>Devin is in fact
African-American.</i>

340
00:10:53,676 --> 00:10:55,309
And the bad news?

341
00:10:55,344 --> 00:10:56,827
Well, African-American
in that

342
00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:59,012
his family emigrated
from Cape Town.

343
00:10:59,048 --> 00:11:01,164
So... you be the judge.

344
00:11:01,217 --> 00:11:04,635
I'd say his complexion's more
de Klerk than Mandela.

345
00:11:06,138 --> 00:11:08,055
[Jeannie]
Sorry.

346
00:11:08,090 --> 00:11:10,474
I forgot my fucking key card.

347
00:11:10,509 --> 00:11:12,593
What's going on?

348
00:11:12,645 --> 00:11:14,645
We have run into a little hitch
with this Delcour plan.

349
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:16,179
I wouldn't use the word
"hitch" in this case.

350
00:11:16,232 --> 00:11:17,431
"Hitch" is probably
a strong word.

351
00:11:17,433 --> 00:11:18,482
It's more like a
moral quandary, really.

352
00:11:18,517 --> 00:11:19,499
That's a little better, yeah.

353
00:11:19,535 --> 00:11:21,602
You fucking pussies,
just say...

354
00:11:21,654 --> 00:11:23,837
Devin isn't black.

355
00:11:23,872 --> 00:11:25,672
Not-not black how?

356
00:11:26,659 --> 00:11:29,026
Johannesburg, 1972.

357
00:11:29,078 --> 00:11:30,377
A country torn asunder
by apartheid...

358
00:11:30,412 --> 00:11:31,678
What? Whoa.

359
00:11:31,714 --> 00:11:32,713
Doug.

360
00:11:32,748 --> 00:11:33,997
Oh.

361
00:11:34,033 --> 00:11:35,082
Marty,

362
00:11:35,117 --> 00:11:37,284
all your palling around
with this guy,

363
00:11:37,336 --> 00:11:38,869
and your black-dar
never went off?

364
00:11:38,921 --> 00:11:40,954
Whoa. What about your white-dar?

365
00:11:41,006 --> 00:11:42,089
It's pretty fucking
defective, too.

366
00:11:42,124 --> 00:11:44,558
- This guy is one of yours.
- [Doug] It's strange.

367
00:11:44,593 --> 00:11:46,460
I don't know why any white
person would want to be black.

368
00:11:46,512 --> 00:11:48,128
- Uh...
- Well, there's sports, of course.

369
00:11:48,180 --> 00:11:50,464
You know, basketball,
marathon running, all that jazz.

370
00:11:50,516 --> 00:11:51,798
- Uhp, there's another one, jazz.
- [groans]

371
00:11:51,850 --> 00:11:53,634
So what are we gonna do?

372
00:11:53,636 --> 00:11:55,135
Same thing we
did last time

373
00:11:55,137 --> 00:11:57,304
we had a black CEO
turn out to be white.

374
00:11:57,356 --> 00:11:59,556
So... no idea?

375
00:11:59,608 --> 00:12:01,475
No fucking idea.

376
00:12:01,477 --> 00:12:02,776
[sighs]

377
00:12:02,811 --> 00:12:05,946
People are
complicated, right?

378
00:12:05,981 --> 00:12:08,532
I mean, they can be
a real mix of...

379
00:12:08,567 --> 00:12:10,317
good qualities
and bad qualities.

380
00:12:10,369 --> 00:12:11,451
Really fucking deep, Clyde.

381
00:12:11,487 --> 00:12:12,552
I brought it up

382
00:12:12,588 --> 00:12:13,820
'cause I was thinking
about Seth.

383
00:12:13,872 --> 00:12:15,088
Remember Seth Buckley?

384
00:12:15,124 --> 00:12:18,091
On one hand, dude
is super smart

385
00:12:18,127 --> 00:12:19,960
with policies and politics,
but in his personal life,

386
00:12:19,995 --> 00:12:21,561
he just can't...
he can't take a hint.

387
00:12:21,597 --> 00:12:23,263
You obviously hate him.

388
00:12:23,299 --> 00:12:24,631
And he keeps pestering me
for your phone number,

389
00:12:24,667 --> 00:12:26,066
so I told him don't
even worry about it.

390
00:12:26,101 --> 00:12:27,634
I didn't give it to him.
We're good, okay?

391
00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:29,269
Hang on, hang on,
hang on, hang on.

392
00:12:30,472 --> 00:12:32,139
Seth wants to ask me out?

393
00:12:32,174 --> 00:12:34,474
Yeah, but we're good.
Bullet dodged.

394
00:12:34,510 --> 00:12:37,277
Seems like you really don't
want me to go out with him.

395
00:12:37,313 --> 00:12:38,945
What would make you...?

396
00:12:38,981 --> 00:12:41,682
Good, 'cause I'm gonna
fuck his brains out.

397
00:12:41,734 --> 00:12:43,900
Are you cool
if we used your bed?

398
00:12:43,936 --> 00:12:45,085
You're kidding, right?

399
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,120
Am I?

400
00:12:47,156 --> 00:12:49,589
Jeannie. Jeannie, Jeannie.

401
00:12:49,625 --> 00:12:50,824
Jeannie, listen.

402
00:12:50,859 --> 00:12:53,160
Seth has a real shot
of being mayor,

403
00:12:53,195 --> 00:12:54,961
of being a great mayor.

404
00:12:54,997 --> 00:12:57,748
Now, I know you usually limit
your radius of human wreckage

405
00:12:57,783 --> 00:13:00,334
to your tiny circle
of friends and family,

406
00:13:00,369 --> 00:13:03,370
but this could have
atomic bomb repercussions

407
00:13:03,422 --> 00:13:05,872
on all of fucking Los Angeles.

408
00:13:05,924 --> 00:13:08,508
I don't know, Clyde, I really
like to play to a big room.

409
00:13:08,544 --> 00:13:11,111
Don't fuck things up for him.

410
00:13:11,146 --> 00:13:13,180
And by "him," you mean you.

411
00:13:14,350 --> 00:13:15,799
Don't worry, Clyde.

412
00:13:15,851 --> 00:13:17,818
I have no interest
in fucking your boyfriend.

413
00:13:17,853 --> 00:13:20,153
Thank you. Thank you.

414
00:13:20,189 --> 00:13:22,522
But just so you know, if you
want to fuck him in <i>my</i> bed,

415
00:13:22,558 --> 00:13:24,558
I'm cool with that.

416
00:13:29,031 --> 00:13:30,313
Marty, my man.

417
00:13:30,366 --> 00:13:31,898
- Oh, hey.
- [chuckles]

418
00:13:31,950 --> 00:13:33,316
- Hey.
- Thanks for coming in, man.

419
00:13:33,369 --> 00:13:35,235
Absolutely, man.
Whatever you need, brother.

420
00:13:35,287 --> 00:13:36,620
[chuckles]

421
00:13:36,655 --> 00:13:39,639
You and Rita really ran a game
on us this morning, man.

422
00:13:39,675 --> 00:13:42,626
[chuckles] Uh, speaking
of games, have a seat.

423
00:13:42,661 --> 00:13:44,478
[clears throat]

424
00:13:44,513 --> 00:13:47,798
- So, look, it's, uh...
- Mm-hmm.

425
00:13:47,833 --> 00:13:49,166
...it's just us
talking right now.

426
00:13:49,218 --> 00:13:50,417
Sure.

427
00:13:50,469 --> 00:13:52,886
Um, is there anything
that you want to tell me?

428
00:13:52,921 --> 00:13:54,221
About what?

429
00:13:54,256 --> 00:13:55,422
I don't know.

430
00:13:55,474 --> 00:13:56,757
I mean, I'm sure if
you think really hard,

431
00:13:56,809 --> 00:13:57,924
something will
come to mind.

432
00:13:57,976 --> 00:14:01,027
No, I-I don't think
I'm following.

433
00:14:01,063 --> 00:14:02,763
Uh, yeah, I'm
just thinking,

434
00:14:02,798 --> 00:14:05,098
anything about your
past, you know.

435
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:06,266
Your "blackground."

436
00:14:06,318 --> 00:14:07,734
[both laugh]

437
00:14:07,770 --> 00:14:10,003
I mean, your biological parents,
they were...

438
00:14:10,038 --> 00:14:11,605
Wonderful people.

439
00:14:12,875 --> 00:14:14,841
- Marty, what are you getting at?
- [clears throat]

440
00:14:14,877 --> 00:14:16,410
Ah.

441
00:14:16,445 --> 00:14:17,878
You're not black, Devin.

442
00:14:17,913 --> 00:14:20,580
No, uh, I don't
understand the question.

443
00:14:20,616 --> 00:14:22,215
I didn't ask you a question.

444
00:14:22,251 --> 00:14:23,917
I made a statement.
You're not black.

445
00:14:23,952 --> 00:14:25,252
[chuckles]

446
00:14:25,287 --> 00:14:26,787
- Um...
- [chuckles] Devin,

447
00:14:26,839 --> 00:14:28,755
- I know. Devin, listen...
- [laughs] Wait...

448
00:14:28,791 --> 00:14:30,457
I already know, so...

449
00:14:30,459 --> 00:14:31,892
You're a phony.

450
00:14:31,927 --> 00:14:35,962
I mean, you're a sad clown
in a fucking business suit.

451
00:14:36,014 --> 00:14:38,131
Your-your whole waking life is
like a Kabuki show in blackface

452
00:14:38,183 --> 00:14:40,600
with the bronzer and
the head shaving.

453
00:14:40,636 --> 00:14:42,385
Look, we're-we're still
gonna make this money,

454
00:14:42,438 --> 00:14:43,637
but don't you want to

455
00:14:43,689 --> 00:14:45,305
drop the whole
act for a second,

456
00:14:45,307 --> 00:14:46,807
you know, all
the theatrics,

457
00:14:46,859 --> 00:14:48,608
and just be real?

458
00:14:51,146 --> 00:14:52,312
Hmm.

459
00:14:52,364 --> 00:14:53,980
[laughs]

460
00:14:55,984 --> 00:14:58,452
You know what's real, Marty?

461
00:14:58,487 --> 00:15:01,872
I applied to Wharton
three times as a white guy

462
00:15:01,907 --> 00:15:04,491
and was denied admission.

463
00:15:04,493 --> 00:15:07,327
I checked "African-American"
the fourth time around...

464
00:15:07,379 --> 00:15:09,296
- [snaps fingers]
- ...got right in.

465
00:15:09,331 --> 00:15:10,747
[sighs] Man.

466
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:12,399
Will white men
ever catch a break?

467
00:15:12,434 --> 00:15:14,835
You know what's worse
than discrimination?

468
00:15:14,887 --> 00:15:15,836
What?

469
00:15:15,888 --> 00:15:17,387
Feeling invisible.

470
00:15:17,422 --> 00:15:21,575
Void of culture, guilty
of crimes I didn't commit.

471
00:15:21,610 --> 00:15:24,077
I step out into the world
as a black man,

472
00:15:24,112 --> 00:15:26,947
for better or for worse,
people see me.

473
00:15:26,982 --> 00:15:29,616
Yeah. Being black's really
working out well for you, huh?

474
00:15:29,651 --> 00:15:31,785
Me being black is working out
for a lot of people.

475
00:15:31,820 --> 00:15:33,653
[laughs] Okay. You're gonna
