Original Kings of Comedy Page #5

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.

You idiot! Only an idiot will fall

after stepping on a banana peel.

- Why don't you go dying?

- Thanks.

- Are you really that stupid?

- You're flattering me.

You damned extra, you are...

In fact, I am an actor. That way please.

Damned extra.

What can I do for you?

Frankly,

we're hostesses of a night club.

I can tell.

We're holding "College Girls'

First Love Evening" right now.

These girls dare to say they don't

have the feeling of first love at all.

How can you work like this?

First love was shown at the stage

when we where babies.

Say, when a baby sees a comforter,

he wants to suck it.

This is a kind of love.

Why did you suck a comforter?

You damned extra.

In fact, I am an actor.

Well, so why did you talk about

sucking a comforter?

I'm going to explain everything to you.

OK, let's explain it.

First, you must dress up

like a college girls,

about dialogue, at some vital points...

such as:
I love you, I hate you, etc.

It'll be more impressive

if you have some tears in your eyes.

Just like this.

Do you see? That teardrop...

Good, the teardrop is inside the eyes.

Where is the teardrop? You damned extra.

In fact, I am an actor.

You might need something to help you

since you've no experience,

and the simplest way is to eat Wasabi.

Wasabi? What are you talking about?

Must we be fooled by this damned extra?

Miss, if you must call me an extra,

you don't need to add 'damned'

in front of it.

In fact, being club girls...

If you can show some respect

to the others, then...

- What are you calling us?

- Excuse me.

Forget it, we are club girls indeed.

I just don't like him

calling me that way.

She's always like this, never mind her.

It's OK...

I've asked you not to stir up trouble!

It's OK...

It's OK...

Why must you still behave like this?

Don't panic, it's alright.

- Don't panic, it's alright.

- Club girls?

It's alright... Don't panic,

take it easy, it's alright.

How could I know he's so amusing?

I brought you there as I thought

he charged for nothing.

If you hadn't block my way, I'd have...

Please, beware what you say

to the clients.

- Go out...

- I'm sorry.

What's going on?

This is a big night club.

Get lost, I'm sorry.

- Are there other hostesses?

- Yes, they're coming soon.

Connie, come here.

What is it, Mama Debra?

Master Lung is here and he's drunk.

He thought he's being dumped

and he wants his first lover back.

All the girls here are college girls,

they'll suit him.

Look,

he has scanned almost all my girls.

But none of them suits his taste,

he's nuts.

Look at his money, it's piled up.

- Have you gone inside?

- Not yet.

Wait here for a while.

Go and send some more girls here.
