:27:00
Keeping it real, baby.
:27:02
I know that this is out there,
but it is satire.
:27:06
No, I want you
to take it out there.
:27:08
Let's swing for the bleachers
on this one.
:27:10
Every week, we follow
the trials and tribulations...
:27:14
of Mantan, Sleep'n Eat--
:27:16
two real coons, the Dusty Duo!
:27:19
What are their character traits?
:27:20
Ignorant.
:27:21
Dull-witted.
:27:23
Lazy. And unlucky!
:27:27
Exactly.
Exactly what I'm lookin' for.
:27:30
Mantan here
is the uneducated Negro...
:27:33
but with educated feets...
:27:36
who by some stroke
of unbelievable stupidity...
:27:40
always makes his best-laid plans
go haywire.
:27:43
Sleep'n Eat
is his comical sidekick?
:27:45
Yes. Who sings like Sammy.
:27:49
He can sing, too?
This is gonna be big.
:27:51
This could be bigger than
"Friends," "Ally McBeal"...
:27:54
even my boys "Amos 'n' Andy."
:27:56
Protests finally got
"Amos 'n' Andy" off the air...
:27:59
and that could very well happen
to a program like this one.
:28:02
Let 'em try.
:28:05
Black folks will be outraged.
:28:07
So what? We'll just give
the NAACP a little donation.
:28:10
I've dealt with those guys
before. Big deal.
:28:12
Where I come from, there's
no such thing as bad publicity.
:28:15
This is not about the NAACP.
:28:20
The content of the show is...
:28:23
It's just politically incorrect.
:28:25
Who wants to be P.C.
these days anyway?
:28:28
A couple of minutes,
you'll go singing and dancing...
:28:31
shucking and jiving,
good fun home entertainment.
:28:34
Exactly.
:28:35
Let me ask you,
who are the other characters?
:28:39
You got characters developed?
It can't just be these two.
:28:41
We have
three-dimensional characters.
:28:45
How about Honeycutt?
:28:47
Topsy? Rastus?
:28:49
Little Nigger Jim?
:28:52
And Sambo?
:28:53
And I would be remiss
to not mention Aunt Jemima.
