Original Kings of Comedy Page #2

Synopsis: February 26 and 27, 2000, the Original Kings of Comedy play Charlotte, NC. The themes are Blacks and Whites, men and women, old-school and hip-hop. Steve Harvey emcees, celebrates '70s music and lyrics of love, and pokes at folks in the front row. D.L. Hughley mines racial differences and talks about his marriage. Cedric the Entertainer riffs on a Black president and on being grown up. Bernie Mac, who says he expresses what's in the back of our minds, closes with reflections on being 42 (new aspects to his sex life and his attitude toward children). Spike Lee's camera takes us backstage and off-stage with the Kings and into the crowd where everyone's laughing.

Kelly, if I don't see you tomorrow.

You'll result like this doll.

You get that?

Uncle Chi, the play "Thunder Storm"

will be on show tomorrow night.

Have you studied the script well?

Yes, don't worry.

I can even compose a song.

Old Master sings

whenever he sees the maid.

You're beautiful...

Uncle Chi, I'm the one

who sing the theme song.

And the role of "Old Master"

you play is a Chinese as well.

When the maid sees the Old Master,

she will sing...

You're so handsome, you're so smart...

- Thank you much, please to...

- Uncle Chi, please don't...

- I accept you...

- Are you OK?

Think positive, Uncle Chi.

Someone helps me, come on.

Master Hung, morning.

My play "Thunder Storm"

will soon be showing.

Shall we make another rehearsal?

Do I need to rehearsal? "Thunder Storm"

is about righteous, I knew it.

We're triad society member,

we only talk about two things.

First, about righteous,

second, about money.

I'll talk about righteous first.

"Righteous" is good, but we mustn't

ignore the love line of the story.

Because the role you play

will finally be struck to death.

Talking about "struck" (chopping),

let me tell you...

There are two kinds of "struck"

(chopping) in our world.

First, it is "dragging".

Second is "stabbing".

Look, this scar was dragged by knife.

While "stabbing" is like this.

This scoundrel is new comer, sorry,

he shows no expression.

"Stabbing" is like this.

Be serious,

let us know if you feel the pain, OK?

Your acting is lousy.

Brother Sau, teaching him for me.

Talking about "pain"...

according to Stanisslavski,

master of acting from Russia.

Pain is transmitted from your body to

the inside, and outside again.

Let try one more time.

Look, it's much better this time.

Isn't it? He acts much better now.

Let's try one more time.

Right, a little bit more, more,

being stabbed.

Maybe I can help you this way.

This is working, tears come out now.

Look clearly, remember this expression,

remember this feeling.

Do remember this, get it?

Let's go.

What about own "Thunder Storm" tomorrow.

No rehearsal needed for "Thunder Storm".

We will come for sure,

promise is a promise!

I'll bring hundreds of people

to watch your play as well.

- It's a deal.

- Just don't worry.

Faster.

Get into position.

Granny, you stepped on someone.

I didn't step on anyone.

You just couldn't feel when you

stepped on him, look at his foot.

Yes, he's sweating as well.

Give me some money and I'll

send him to the hospital.

I have no money.

Look at him, he's dying.

I only have $100 left.

Give me, that $100.

Let's move!

Granny, you've dropped some money.

Really good luck.

Sir...

- Are you free tomorrow?
