to breathe through the vents...

...and Mommy loves you, punkin!

- Hey, Jack.

- Hey, Tracy.

I was wondering if you have a dance

partner for the senior showcase...

'cause I was thinking

we could be partners.

There's this really romantic scene

in Romeo and Juliet.

That's great.

I've always wanted to play that part.

You'll be a great Romeo.

I'm not talking about Romeo.

You're so funny.

"Delighted that he was fat

Delighted that he was old...

"No doubt in the world about that

Delighted that he had gold"

How now, brown cow.

Scene. An actor prepares.

Acting, people...

...is action and reaction.

- Oh, sh*t!

- Yes, son, yes! Yes, that is truth!

- You don't know me.

- I see murder in your eyes.

Yes, that's good, son.

You need an agent. You are excellent.

Now, what will you do to act?

What are you willing to sacrifice...

...for your art, son? Yes?

Are you willing to die for it?

Are you willing to cry for it?

Are you willing

to lose your manhood for it?

No? You, get out of my class,

get out of my class!

You call yourself an actor? Get out!

Damn it, I gave up my manhood...

...twice.

Yes, it hurt. I bled.

But I got five weeks' work

- Yes, like Jessica Simpson.

Did any of you guys see

Employee of the Month?

Refund, please!

That Dane Cook makes me do this.

Well, I kind of like that movie.

I thought she did a really good job.

I saw it four times.

Yeah, I guess I'd rather see her act than...

...ruin the Cowboys' chances

of ever winning the Super Bowl.

It seems as though we have a debate

going on here.

How about those mom jeans?

Irregardless of what you may think of

Miss Simpson, she is a success story.

Of the 50,000 people that call

themselves actors...

...there's only 500 working actors.

Of that 500, most of them are white.

There are a few roles for black people...

...but those roles are usually

for the Wayans brothers.

We must all, in our lives

and in our craft, have one thing.

Dignity. Yes, dignity.

Well, I remember one time,

they offered me a role...

...in a despicable, disgusting,

stereotypical racist movie.

Do you know what I told them?

- Yes, Miss White?

- You turned it down.

Hell, no! I took that money!

But I did it with dignity.

Let us watch.

Boy, you ain't picking

that cotton fast enough.

Massa, no!

I be's the best cotton-picking

picaninny this side of Jubilee.

Yes, sir, I's a cotton-picking fool!
