:54:01
I guess I just can't stand
the idea of a world...
:54:03
where a guy like you
can't get a date.
:54:12
What is this, Seymour?
:54:15
Oh, that.
:54:17
I borrowed that from work
about fifteen years ago.
:54:19
I guess it's mine now.
:54:21
What are you,
a Klansman or something?
:54:24
Yeah, I'm a Klansman.
:54:28
You know
the Cook's Chicken franchise?
:54:31
"Four-piece Cook's special...
:54:32
"deep-fried with side and slaw.
It's outrageous!"
:54:36
Yeah, well,
Cook's is just a made up name.
:54:41
Back in 1922...
:54:42
they were originally called
Coon Chicken Inn.
:54:44
That's an early painting
of their first logo.
:55:09
How come everybody
doesn't know this?
:55:12
It's ancient history.
:55:13
Same reason nobody knows about
this Lionel Belasco record.
:55:16
I was more interested in
the whole Cook's phenomenon...
:55:20
when I was about your age.
:55:22
Sort of lost interest
when I started working for them.
:55:25
You work for Cook's Chicken?
:55:29
For nineteen years.
:55:30
Were you a fry cook
or something?
:55:33
Nothing so glamorous, actually.
:55:36
I'm an assistant manager
at their corporate headquarters.
:55:39
Jesus. I'd go nuts if I had
to work in an office all day.
:55:46
So I don't really get it.
:55:47
Are you saying that things
were better back then...
:55:49
even though
there was stuff like this?
:55:50
I suppose
things are better now, but...
:55:54
I don't know, it's complicated.
:55:55
People still hate each other...
:55:56
but they just know
how to hide it better.
