Bamboozled Page #4
DELACROIX:
I've never been given a fair shot.
DUNWITTY:
You got your head stuck up your ass
with your Harvard education and
your pretentious ways. Brother
man, I'm blacker than you. I'm
keepin' it real and you're frontin',
trying to be white.
DELACROIX:
I'm an oreo, a sell out? Because I
don't aspire to do HOMEBOYS FROM
DESMOND PFEIFFER, A PJ's or some as
you might put it, some "n*gger"
show? I'm a Tom? I'm whiter than
white and you're blacker than black?
Is that what you think?
DUNWITTY:
That's exactly what I think. I
want you to create something that
people want to see. Let's be
honest, the majority of the people
in the country are deaf, dumb and
blind and I'm including 35 million
African-Americans. You know and I
know "n*ggers" set the trend, set
the styles. This is a golden
opportunity now. These idiots have
to be led to the water.
DELACROIX:
I'm not sure if I can deliver what
you want.
DUNWITTY:
You will or you'll be back at BET
so quick you'll never know what hit
you. I need a mid-season
replacement and pronto. It will be
on the fast track.
12.
DELACROIX:
What is it you want from me? Some
plantation follies? Some sitcom
that takes place on a watermelon
patch? Some show that follows four
n*gger generations of junkies and
crackheads? You want me to go back
to the ante bellum days?
DUNWITTY:
Yes! Yes! Yes! I want a show
that will make headlines, that will
households tuned in, glued to their
televisions every week. I want
advertisers dying to buy on this
show. I'm gonna squeeze this show
out of you if it kills you.
EXT. TENEMENT - NIGHT
WE SEE a street lamp, and coming out of it are some wires.
WE FOLLOW the wires into a tenement building.
The residents have tapped into a street light courtesy of
CON EDISON for power.
INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT
Cheeba stands in front of the makeshift kitchen, which
includes a hot plate, and prepares a gourmet meal of a tasty
Spanish dish. The clean apartment is furnished with stuff
people have thrown out that they picked up on the street.
MANRAY:
I'm starvin' like Marvin.
CHEEBA:
My world famous, famous world Arroz
con pollo will be ready very soon.
MANRAY:
CHEEBA:
Did we get our bill yet?
They both laugh.
MANRAY:
I guess that will come with the
rent, gas, and Con Ed bills, too.
13.
CHEEBA:
Ahh, the luxuries of life.
MANRAY:
Yo, check it. This is good and all
that but one day soon I want to
have much Benjamins so I can have a
nice crib and pay all my bills.
You hear me.
CHEEBA:
Chill, I'm the brains behind this
outfit.
