:05:00
Sir, had I been informed
of this important meeting...
:05:04
I would have canceled
my Pilates session this morning.
:05:06
I did not find out about it--
:05:07
You're telling me
that everyone in the room...
:05:10
knew about this little
get-together except for you.
:05:12
People, you can pull a Rodman
like our friend Delacroix...
:05:17
but I guarantee you'll be sent
packing just like him.
:05:19
These are the ratings, people.
Read 'em and weep.
:05:22
As you can plainly see...
:05:25
the Continental Network System
is languishing.
:05:28
Look at 'em, people.
Look very closely.
:05:31
We are booty, caca.
We are doo-doo.
:05:35
I don't like to be
the laughingstock...
:05:37
of the entire broadcast
industry.
:05:39
I don't like these pricks
who call themselves my bosses...
:05:42
breathing down my back.
:05:43
It makes me sweat.
:05:45
These numbers
are totally unacceptable.
:05:47
These numbers have to go up.
:05:51
Question.
:05:53
What do you want us to do?
:05:54
Dumb-ass question.
:05:56
I want you to write
some material that is funny.
:05:59
Your material is about
as funny as a dead baby.
:06:03
It's not dope. It's not new.
It's not sexy.
:06:07
It sucks.
:06:08
Thank you, Fish. It sucks.
:06:10
This meeting is over.
:06:11
But I want you to think
about what I just said...
:06:13
and how you can deliver.
:06:15
Otherwise, things are
gonna get very grim around here.
:06:19
Monsieur Delacroix.
:06:21
Can I see you
in my office now, please?
:06:24
Yes.
:06:25
Seeing that you're
all stretched out and shit.
:06:28
Sloan, why didn't I know
about this important meeting?
:06:31
Nobody sent me an e-mail.
I didn't have a memo.
:06:33
What good are you if
I don't know about these things?
:06:36
Well, it wasn't my fault.
:06:38
I was embarrassed.
Hey, Chuckie.
:06:41
Humiliated.
:06:44
But if I don't know,
how are you gonna know?
:06:46
That's unacceptable.
It better never happen again.
:06:49
Do you know what CP Time is?
:06:51
CP Time.
:06:53
CP Time is
Colored People's Time...
:06:55
the stereotypical belief
that Negroes are always late...
:06:59
that Negroes
have no sense of time...
