until XM and the junket.

Well, Charles just texted me this one.

They need you for a few hours.

A Wyclef movie is hard to sell.

Everybody in the barber shop

wants to see you in that bear costume.

They love you in that bear costume.

You gotta wear it, baby.

Yeah, but they can't even see my face.

But they feeling you, son.

That's who you are! You Hammy!

I told you, I don't feel like

doing funny movies anymore.

I don't feel funny.

We talked about this.

Save some of that stuff

for your Times interview.

Times? F*** the Times.

You act like you've never

had a bad review before.

I could take one, but every one?

"Every one," really?

Come on, man. Look at this sh*t.

"Andre Allen is the most

pathetic character in cinema today.

"If he ever put out another movie,

"I would not see it

if it was playing in my glasses."

Why the f*** would somebody

say some sh*t like that?

That's James Nielson.

That's what he does.

He's a critic.

And he won't show his face.

No, f*** James Nielson.

He's been ripping my sh*t apart

for years.

The next one's a chick.

She just wants to do

a profile piece on you.

And I think she's a big fan of yours.

F*** the Times.

You're gonna do this, okay?

I'm not going to go

back and forth with you about this.

We talked about it.

It's The New York Times.

Do you hear me? The New York Times!

Let me ask you a question.

When you told me that you wanted to do

that movie Crossbusters,

what'd I say to you, Andre?

"Not a good idea."

When you tell me that you wanted to do

that little baseball movie,

what I say to you, Andre?

You said it wasn't a good idea.

Now, when you tell me

you wanted to do that movie

about the Haitian revolution,

Andre, what'd I say to you?

You said it wasn't a good idea, okay?

No. No, no, no, no, you're wrong, Andre.

That's not what I said.

I said, "Nigga, is you crazy?"

I emailed it! I sent the email out

with a bunch of racial slurs

and bad English

to my own company account!

The reason why I did it, Andre,

was 'cause I wanted to be on file

to show people that I was against this!

I was against this project!

I jeopardized my job.

You know that? I almost ruined my job.

What are you talking about?

A nigga can't get fired

for saying "nigga" to a nigga.

You've never been more wrong.

A nigga can...

A nigga can get fired

for saying "nigga" to a nigga.

A nigga don't run this damn company.

Matter of fact,

if niggas at this company

found out that I was using

the word nigga in here,

my black ass would be on the street.

So you're wrong, nigga.

I guess you're right, nigga,

but I don't want to do this.

I hate James Nielson.

I hate the Times.

Everything I do, they trash.
