00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:38,875
All right, nigga, let's go. That's it.
171
00:08:38,958 --> 00:08:41,708
Jumped in the ocean
and swallowed a whale.
172
00:08:41,791 --> 00:08:45,708
Handcuffed lightning,
throwed thunder's ass in jail.
173
00:08:45,791 --> 00:08:48,375
[Rudy] Look, Ricco, this ain't no place
for your hobo stories.
174
00:08:48,458 --> 00:08:50,250
Whoa, I ain't no hobo.
175
00:08:50,333 --> 00:08:53,750
I am a repository
of Afro-American folklore.
176
00:08:54,625 --> 00:08:57,916
Come on. Lookit, brother. I just need
some money to get something to eat.
177
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,375
I ain't got no teeth.
All I can do is sip on some soup.
178
00:09:00,458 --> 00:09:01,833
Come on, give me a quarter.
179
00:09:02,625 --> 00:09:05,375
Ricco, I'm gonna give you a quarter.
You go get you some soup.
180
00:09:05,458 --> 00:09:08,041
Then you just got to get up out of here.
Let's go, man.
181
00:09:08,125 --> 00:09:11,166
-Get my black ass on.
-Go on now. All right, okay.
182
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:14,500
First, I'm gonna tell you one of the
funniest fuckin' things you ever did hear.
183
00:09:14,583 --> 00:09:17,625
-Oh, come on, man.
-Some people think that Willie Green...
184
00:09:17,708 --> 00:09:19,916
was the baddest man
the world had ever seen.
185
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
But I want you to light up a joint,
screw your wig on tight,
186
00:09:24,083 --> 00:09:27,416
and let me tell you about
a little bad motherfucker
187
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:29,000
called Dolemite.
188
00:09:29,083 --> 00:09:31,500
[laughs]
189
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
[dings]
190
00:09:33,083 --> 00:09:35,083
[man] Man, I haven't heard those
in a long time.
191
00:09:35,166 --> 00:09:38,250
-Dolemite, Signifying Monkey.
-He did all of them ones.
192
00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:40,666
'Cause I had a uncle that was in jail,
193
00:09:40,750 --> 00:09:43,208
and they was doing that shit
all the time, telling jokes,
194
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:45,208
'cause they had nothing else to do.
195
00:09:45,791 --> 00:09:47,041
You could fuck.
196
00:09:47,125 --> 00:09:49,958
Yes, Toney, you could fuck,
but we ain't talking about that right now.
197
00:09:50,041 --> 00:09:51,708
Hey, you know what I was thinking, man.
198
00:09:52,666 --> 00:09:56,041
What y'all think would happen
if somebody took those jokes...
199
00:09:56,916 --> 00:10:00,708
a professional, and polished them,
and turn it into a act?
200
00:10:00,791 --> 00:10:03,291
Yeah, and did it on a stoop. [laughs]
201
00:10:03,375 --> 00:10:05,541
-In a barbershop?
-Yeah, in a barbershop.
202
00:10:05,625 --> 00:10:08,708
-Rudy, that's a good idea.
-Yeah, man, that shit could work.
203
00:10:08,791 --> 00:10:12,041
Say, Rudy man, all them slave jokes,
that shit not gonna work.
204
00:10:12,125 --> 00:10:14,041
I wouldn't put it in my act, personally.
205
00:10:14,125 --> 00:10:16,625
-Hey, man, funny is funny.
-They're not ready for the big time.
206
00:10:16,708 --> 00:10:19,416
I don't know what time it's gonna
make it to, but the shit is funny.
207
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:23,208
Look here. Them white folks gonna see
that country-ass nigga get up onstage
208
00:10:23,291 --> 00:10:27,416
and say, "Now what in the fuck
is he about to say now?" [laughs]
209
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:31,708
Before I go out, I always keep
"The Morning After" in my hip pocket,
210
00:10:31,791 --> 00:10:34,958
-just in case there's any white faces.
-What the hell is "The Morning After"?
211
00:10:35,041 --> 00:10:38,208
Don't be ignant. The love theme
from The Poseidon Adventure.
212
00:10:38,291 --> 00:10:41,166
♪ There's got to be a morning after ♪
213
00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:44,083
♪ If we can hold on through the night... ♪
214
00:10:44,166 --> 00:10:46,750
Oh, man, what in the fuck
you gonna learn that shit for?
215
00:10:46,833 --> 00:10:48,750
You ain't gonna never play that
for whitey.
216
00:10:48,833 --> 00:10:49,875
Last thing they wanna see
217
00:10:49,958 --> 00:10:52,291
is your big black ass onstage
singing "The Morning After."
218
00:10:52,375 --> 00:10:55,416
And I know you ain't sitting here
criticizing nobody.
219
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:57,958
You stealing jokes
from hobos and bums arou--
220
00:10:58,041 --> 00:10:59,333
[laughs]
221
00:11:01,041 --> 00:11:02,458
[Ben] He got you there, Rudy.
222
00:11:03,083 --> 00:11:04,333
Hey, you know what?
223
00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:09,208
Fuck you, niggas.
Fuck y'all know, anyway?
224
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,958
[laughs]
225
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Rudy.
226
00:11:20,583 --> 00:11:21,791
Rudy.
227
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:27,666
Man, I'm sorry.
We was just havin' a little fun.
228
00:11:29,375 --> 00:11:32,666
Hey, man, how'd my life get so damn small?
229
00:11:34,291 --> 00:11:36,625
I came out here
with some big plans, Jimmy.
230
00:11:36,708 --> 00:11:39,625
I was gonna do it all,
just like Sammy Davis Jr.
231
00:11:39,708 --> 00:11:42,166
Movies, concerts, TV. Everything.
232
00:11:43,083 --> 00:11:46,416
This job at Dolphin's supposed to be
my temporary day job.
233
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:49,000
Cut to a million years later,
it's all I got.
234
00:11:51,041 --> 00:11:55,083
-You still got the Californian Club.
-Oh, man. That ain't gonna lead to shit.
235
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:00,375
I ain't got nothing nobody want.
236
00:12:04,291 --> 00:12:05,416
[car door slams]
237
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:07,875
-[man] Man, he got somethin'.
-[second man] Yeah.
238
00:12:07,958 --> 00:12:10,583
[second man] Man, who the-- Who is this?
239
00:12:11,416 --> 00:12:13,125
I don't know, man. You ever seen him?
240
00:12:13,208 --> 00:12:14,958
-No, I ain't never seen any--
-Hey, brothers.
241
00:12:15,041 --> 00:12:17,583
How y'all doing tonight?
I'm trying to find Ricco.
242
00:12:17,666 --> 00:12:19,916
Ricco? Who in the fuck is that?
243
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,708
That's a old bum with no teeth.
244
00:12:21,791 --> 00:12:23,791
-You mean like this?
-[both chuckle]
245
00:12:23,875 --> 00:12:26,583
Oh, shit. Guess that
ain't narrow it down at all, did it?
246
00:12:26,666 --> 00:12:28,250
It ain't like it used to be.
247
00:12:28,333 --> 00:12:32,208
This neighborhood been went to shit, man.
It's sad, sad, sad.
248
00:12:32,291 --> 00:12:36,666
You see this building over here?
That's the Dunbar Hotel.
249
00:12:36,750 --> 00:12:40,666
That used to be the center
of black arts entertainment.
250
00:12:40,750 --> 00:12:43,708
I saw Duke Ellington there,
Billie Holiday,
251
00:12:43,791 --> 00:12:48,083
but now it's just filled with
a bunch of junkies and winos.
252
00:12:48,166 --> 00:12:51,166
-Junkies and winos.
-Tony, I'm gonna pay your money. Shit.
253
00:12:51,250 --> 00:12:52,958
[Rudy] Oh, shit. There he go right there.
254
00:12:53,041 --> 00:12:55,625
-Ricco. Hey, man.
-[man] That what you been talking about?
255
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:57,583
Hey, brother! How you doing, Ricco?
256
00:12:57,666 --> 00:12:59,500
-What's going on, man?
-I don't know you.
257
00:12:59,583 --> 00:13:02,125
Yeah, man. I'm your friend
from Dolphin's Records.
258
00:13:03,875 --> 00:13:05,916
Ain't you the son of a bitch
that throws me out?
259
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,208
Oh, no, Ricco. That's that other guy, man.
260
00:13:08,291 --> 00:13:11,208
Hey, man, look. Look here, man.
I got some money, and I got some hooch.
261
00:13:11,291 --> 00:13:13,458
How you like to sit down
and tell me your stories?
262
00:13:13,541 --> 00:13:16,625
[Ricco] Cocaine Shorty's my name.
Fuckin' is my claim.
263
00:13:16,708 --> 00:13:21,291
You can line 98 hos up against a wall,
I bet you a dollar I can fuck 'em all.
264
00:13:21,375 --> 00:13:24,291
-I can top that.
-[man] Oh, no, you can't top that.
265
00:13:24,375 --> 00:13:25,583
Hey, neither can he.
266
00:13:25,666 --> 00:13:29,208
-I'm the funniest motherfucker out here.
-[man] Hey, don't need to argue, fellas.
267
00:13:29,291 --> 00:13:31,166
Hold on now. I got some more money.
268
00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:34,166
I wanna hear
from all the liquor store wise men.
269
00:13:34,250 --> 00:13:35,750
Okay, let's go now. What's next?
270
00:13:36,458 --> 00:13:39,125
[man] I fucked an elephant and her mother.
271
00:13:39,208 --> 00:13:42,208
I fucked the bull, the cow,
and her brother.
272
00:13:42,291 --> 00:13:44,250
-[bums laughing]
-[tape stops]
273
00:13:44,333 --> 00:13:46,333
I need a better punchline.
274
00:13:46,416 --> 00:13:49,541
Fucked a... cow-- bull, a cow.
275
00:13:50,833 --> 00:13:54,375
Fucked a elephant.
Dared her to mutter.
276
00:13:56,291 --> 00:14:00,791
I could look up a bull's ass
and tell you the price of butter.
277
00:14:00,875 --> 00:14:02,583
[chuckles]
278
00:14:02,666 --> 00:14:03,875
That is funny.
279
00:14:04,916 --> 00:14:08,166
Fucked an elephant down to a coon.
280
00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:12,750
Even fucked the same--
Yes, I fucked an elephant down to a coon.
281
00:14:15,291 --> 00:14:17,750
I fucked a elephant down to a coon!
282
00:14:19,375 --> 00:14:22,916
Yes, I fucked a elephant down to a coon.
283
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Even fucked the same cow
that jumped over the motherfucking moon.
284
00:14:28,333 --> 00:14:31,000
[Ricco] I got kicked out of South America
for fucking steers.
285
00:14:31,083 --> 00:14:34,541
I fucked a she elephant
till she broke down in tears.
286
00:14:37,125 --> 00:14:40,250
I got thrown out of South America
for fucking steers.
287
00:14:42,583 --> 00:14:45,666
I fucked King Kong's mama
till she broke down in tears.
288
00:14:51,083 --> 00:14:52,708
Dole-Dolemite is my...
289
00:14:52,791 --> 00:14:54,791
Dolemite is my name.
290
00:14:57,625 --> 00:14:59,750
Way down in the jungle deep,
291
00:14:59,833 --> 00:15:01,500
lion stepped on the s--
292
00:15:02,625 --> 00:15:04,666
[loudly] Way down in the jungle deep...
293
00:15:06,666 --> 00:15:09,875
a lion stepped on
a signified monkey's feet!
294
00:15:11,333 --> 00:15:15,958
Dolemite is my name,
and fucking up motherfuckers is my game!
295
00:15:28,833 --> 00:15:31,000
-[jazz music playing]
-[man] All right.
296
00:15:31,083 --> 00:15:34,208
How it is that he can take you
beautiful people with him?
297
00:15:35,416 --> 00:15:37,333
[woman] That's my kinfolk. Come on now.
298
00:15:37,416 --> 00:15:39,708
Stay right here. [laughs] Yes, sir.
299
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:45,750
The fuck is you in tux? What'd you do
to your hair? You look like a pimp.
300
00:15:45,833 --> 00:15:48,208
I come up with a new character
and all new material, too.
301
00:15:48,291 --> 00:15:50,291
Well, actually, it's old material.
302
00:15:50,375 --> 00:15:51,708
I don't need this.
303
00:15:54,041 --> 00:15:55,916
Just stick to your regular set.
304
00:15:57,666 --> 00:15:59,166
It's always somethin'.
305
00:16:01,666 --> 00:16:03,666
[overlapping chatter]
306
00:16:27,208 --> 00:16:29,708
Way down in the jungle deep...
307
00:16:31,708 --> 00:16:34,750
the lion stepped on
the signified monkey's feet.
308
00:16:36,375 --> 00:16:39,541
The monkey said,
"Motherfucker, can't you see...
309
00:16:40,291 --> 00:16:43,000
you standing on my goddamn feet?"
310
00:16:43,083 --> 00:16:44,500
[faint chuckling]
311
00:16:44,583 --> 00:16:47,125
The lion said,
"I ain't heard a word you said.
312
00:16:48,166 --> 00:16:51,541
If you say three more, I'll jump off
on your motherfucking head."
313
00:16:51,625 --> 00:16:53,000
-[laughter]
-[drum sting]
314
00:16:54,125 --> 00:16:55,958
Man, don't give me
that Buddy Hackett shit.
315
00:16:56,041 --> 00:16:58,208
Make that shit swing.
Put your weight on it.
316
00:16:59,875 --> 00:17:03,041
-[plays percussive rhythm]
-Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
317
00:17:10,083 --> 00:17:13,125
But the monkey got wise
and started using his wit.
318
00:17:15,541 --> 00:17:18,666
Said, "I think I'm gonna bring an end
to all this ass-kicking shit."
319
00:17:18,750 --> 00:17:21,166
[laughter]
320
00:17:24,041 --> 00:17:26,666
He ran up on the lion the very next day.
321
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,416
He said, "Oh, Mr. Lion,
322
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:32,833
there's a big, bad, burly motherfucker
coming your way."
323
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:37,166
He said, "And he's somebody
that you don't know...
324
00:17:38,208 --> 00:17:40,750
'cause he just broke-a loose
from Ringling Brothers' show."
325
00:17:44,125 --> 00:17:46,583
Said, "He talked about your people
in a hell of a way.
326
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,166
Yes, he talked about your people
till my hair turned gray."
327
00:17:51,250 --> 00:17:52,250
[laughter]
328
00:17:59,208 --> 00:18:01,875
He said, "Your daddy's a freak,
and your mama's a whore."
329
00:18:04,625 --> 00:18:08,416
Said, "He spotted you in the jungle
sellin' your black ass from door to door."

-[murmuring]
-[applauding]
331
00:18:15,125 --> 00:18:18,041
He said, "Your sister got down
and did a hell of a trick.
332
00:18:21,666 --> 00:18:24,000
She got so low,
she sucked a earthworm's dick."
333
00:18:30,750 --> 00:18:35,750
He said he corn-holed your uncle,
fucked your auntie and your niece,
334
00:18:35,833 --> 00:18:39,708
and the next time he see your grandma,
he gonna get him another good piece.
335
00:18:39,791 --> 00:18:41,125
[raucous laughter]
336
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:56,625
I ain't lying!
337
00:19:02,166 --> 00:19:03,958
-Smells good.
-[woman chuckles]
338
00:19:04,041 --> 00:19:06,166
-[woman] Just like back home, right?
-Yes, Lord.
339
00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:08,875
Say, when's the last time
you been back to Arkansas?
340
00:19:08,958 --> 00:19:12,750
Oh, a long time. I ain't got
a lot of good memories from back home,
341
00:19:12,833 --> 00:19:15,208
so I don't be thinking about
back home much.
342
00:19:15,291 --> 00:19:18,958
Basically, when I think about back home,
I think, "Fuck back home."
343
00:19:19,041 --> 00:19:20,291
Hey, you know, Auntie?
344
00:19:20,375 --> 00:19:21,375
Mm-hmm?
345
00:19:21,458 --> 00:19:24,708
You know, I was thinking about
maybe putting out another record.
346
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:29,125
Another record? Why don't you help me
get rid of some of that shit
347
00:19:29,208 --> 00:19:32,708
that's stacked up over there
in the corner? "Another record."
348
00:19:32,791 --> 00:19:34,875
This time, I'm gonna put out
a comedy record.
349
00:19:35,791 --> 00:19:40,291
Comedy? You've been a singer,
you've been a shake dancer,
350
00:19:40,375 --> 00:19:43,250
and one time, I think
you even called yourself a fortune teller.
351
00:19:43,333 --> 00:19:46,750
You know it's real hard to break in.
I'd do whatever it takes to get in.
352
00:19:46,833 --> 00:19:49,791
Is it gonna be like that
cute lil' Bill Cosby?
353
00:19:49,875 --> 00:19:51,833
He's so sweet.
354
00:19:51,916 --> 00:19:57,750
He tells those family tales
about the kids playing in the street,
355
00:19:57,833 --> 00:19:59,791
playing jacks and such. I like that.
356
00:19:59,875 --> 00:20:01,958
Yeah, there's gonna be stories
about family and kids
357
00:20:02,041 --> 00:20:04,291
-and a grandma and grandpa.
-Oh, that's nice.
358
00:20:04,375 --> 00:20:07,750
So, yeah, it's gonna be stories,
but listen. Here's what the thing is.
359
00:20:07,833 --> 00:20:11,708
-I'm trying to be entrepreneurial on this.
-Oh, let us bow our heads and pray.
360
00:20:11,791 --> 00:20:15,041
Father God, I wanna thank you
for giving me the strength
361
00:20:15,125 --> 00:20:17,250
to make this meal for my beloved family.
362
00:20:17,333 --> 00:20:21,416
Let us nourish our body
in Jesus' name. Amen.
363
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,916
-Thank you, Lord.
-All right, then.
364
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,375
Thank you for this pork chop.
Now, as I was saying--
365
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:28,541
-You want some hot sauce?
-Come on now, Auntie, now.
366
00:20:28,625 --> 00:20:32,166
I wanna be entrepreneurial on this thing,
and I need you to loan me some money
367
00:20:32,250 --> 00:20:34,375
-so I can get some recording equipment.
-No, no.
368
00:20:34,458 --> 00:20:36,708
-Mm-mmm.
-Come on, Auntie. You rich, woman.
369
00:20:36,791 --> 00:20:38,625
I'm not rich.
What make you think I'm rich?
370
00:20:38,708 --> 00:20:41,416
What happened to all that money you made
when you fell off that bus?
371
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,833
Uh, that is my money
to do with what I want to,
372
00:20:44,916 --> 00:20:46,833
and I only got $250.
373
00:20:46,916 --> 00:20:49,958
That's exactly how much I need
to be a star.
374
00:20:50,041 --> 00:20:53,500
-Come on, woman. Loan me...
-I got my coat on layaway...
375
00:20:53,583 --> 00:20:56,250
-Please...
-I'm already into 'em for $50...
376
00:20:56,333 --> 00:20:57,666
She gonna give me the money.
377
00:20:57,750 --> 00:21:01,083
'Cause you about to cut off my air supply.
Get up from around my neck.
378
00:21:01,166 --> 00:21:04,041
-Why you so fucking stingy, then?
-Ain't this a bitch?
379
00:21:04,125 --> 00:21:05,750
-Give me the money, woman.
-[sighs]
380
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,625
Why the hell is there a line?
You told me we were going to a party.
381
00:21:11,708 --> 00:21:14,916
We are going to a party.
We're making a party record.
382
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,333
Come on in. Come on in. Watch your step.
383
00:21:17,416 --> 00:21:19,166
-Watch your step.
-Gimme some skin, baby.
384
00:21:19,250 --> 00:21:21,041
Come on in. Watch your step.
385
00:21:23,958 --> 00:21:26,958
Fedco gin?
I didn't even know they made alcohol.
386
00:21:27,041 --> 00:21:29,000
Nigga, we ain't going for flavor.
387
00:21:29,083 --> 00:21:32,166
Look, I don't see how this can work.
We should be in a real club.
388
00:21:32,250 --> 00:21:35,041
I don't wanna hear that shit.
We got what we got. Gotta make it work.
389
00:21:35,125 --> 00:21:37,291
-You're my producer, right?
-I am?
390
00:21:37,375 --> 00:21:39,750
What do you think we're doing here?
We producing an album.
391
00:21:39,833 --> 00:21:42,083
-Okay.
-Okay, all right? Come here, man.
392
00:21:42,166 --> 00:21:43,166
Okay.
393
00:21:44,750 --> 00:21:47,000
Hey, man,
get these people limber and loose.
394
00:21:47,083 --> 00:21:49,125
Right, right, right, right.
[breathes deeply]
395
00:21:49,625 --> 00:21:50,708
Producer.
396
00:21:51,625 --> 00:21:53,250
Oh, guess I'm producing.
397
00:21:59,291 --> 00:22:02,750
All right, y'all know what it is.
Y'all know what time it is.
398
00:22:02,833 --> 00:22:04,666
It's show time, y'all. Come on now.
399
00:22:06,291 --> 00:22:08,000
Give yourself a round of applause.
400
00:22:08,916 --> 00:22:11,208
Okay, I want everybody
to have a good time tonight.
401
00:22:11,291 --> 00:22:14,750
We doing a album this evening,
a live recording.
402
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:17,375
We got a engineer back there.
He's professional.
403
00:22:17,458 --> 00:22:21,375
That nigga done been on Leave It to Beaver
and Gunsmoke. All kinds of shit.
404
00:22:22,333 --> 00:22:25,791
Okay. Yeah, all right, y'all.
The time we've been waiting for.
405
00:22:25,875 --> 00:22:28,791
The man of the hour. The man, the myth.
406
00:22:28,875 --> 00:22:30,583
You love him, and I love him.
407
00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:35,166
Put your hands together
for Rudy Ray Moore.
408
00:22:35,666 --> 00:22:37,666
[applause and cheering]
409
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:39,833
[smooth jazz playing]
410
00:22:54,583 --> 00:22:55,916
[woman] All right now.
411
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:02,125
Some folks say Willie Green...
412
00:23:03,666 --> 00:23:07,083
was the baddest motherfucker
that the world had ever seen.
413
00:23:08,708 --> 00:23:11,208
I want you to light you up a joint,
take a real good shit,
414
00:23:11,291 --> 00:23:12,541
and screw your wig on tight.
415
00:23:14,708 --> 00:23:18,041
And let me tell you about that
bad motherfucker called Dolemite.
416
00:23:18,125 --> 00:23:19,708
Dolemite. Come on, Rudy.
417
00:23:20,541 --> 00:23:22,958
[Rudy on tape]
Now, Dolemite was born in San Antone.
418
00:23:24,125 --> 00:23:26,666
A rambling, gambling,
scrambling motherfucker
419
00:23:26,750 --> 00:23:28,041
since the day he was born.
420
00:23:29,166 --> 00:23:32,500
On the day he was dropped
from his mammy's ass...
421
00:23:33,166 --> 00:23:35,458
he slapped his pappy in the face,
and said,
422
00:23:35,541 --> 00:23:38,083
"From now on, cocksucker,
I'm running this place."
423
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:42,041
-At the age of one--
-Okay, I've heard enough.
424
00:23:42,125 --> 00:23:46,375
-Hey, but you haven't even got to the--
-It's filthy. And I know filthy.
425
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:49,250
Jesus, you can't play that over the radio.
426
00:23:49,333 --> 00:23:52,416
And you can't sell it over the counter
in most cities.
427
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:54,666
Record stores, they don't wanna be raided.
428
00:23:54,750 --> 00:23:57,625
Raided? Hey, come on, man.
The world has changed.
429
00:23:57,708 --> 00:24:01,458
Deep Throat is a big-ass hit movie,
and the lady sucks a cock in every scene.
430
00:24:01,541 --> 00:24:04,416
Yeah, in porno houses.
431
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:07,208
Record stores, they're a family business.
432
00:24:07,291 --> 00:24:08,541
Kids go in.
433
00:24:08,625 --> 00:24:13,416
Uh, look, on vinyl,
you can call a guy a cocksucker,
434
00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:15,875
but you can't say he sucks a cock.
435
00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:19,958
-Can you grasp the distinction?
-No, I do not.
436
00:24:20,041 --> 00:24:23,041
If I want to say
that a woman's pussy is so hot,
437
00:24:23,125 --> 00:24:26,583
it makes a motherfucker's asshole burn,
then I'm gonna say it!
438
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:29,625
Then say it.
439
00:24:30,583 --> 00:24:35,416
But you've got a product here
that you can't sell or promote.
440
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,041
[door closes]
441
00:24:39,375 --> 00:24:41,208
-[door slams]
-What'd he say?
442
00:24:41,291 --> 00:24:45,250
Shit, man, we just got into some legal
semantic argument about cocksucking.
443
00:24:49,416 --> 00:24:53,416
You know what, man? Fuck him.
We gonna put this shit out ourself.
444
00:24:54,833 --> 00:24:55,833
Come on.
445
00:24:57,166 --> 00:24:59,333
[funk music playing]
446
00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:16,291
-Say, Rudy. What's with the devil faces?
-I want it to look illegal.
447
00:25:16,375 --> 00:25:19,000
Real naughty. Like some shit
they ain't supposed to have.
448
00:25:19,916 --> 00:25:21,166
[snickers]
449
00:25:24,791 --> 00:25:28,791
[Rudy] Yes, I rode across the ocean
on the head of my dick.
450
00:25:28,875 --> 00:25:32,166
Ate nine tons of cat shit
and ain't never got sick.
451
00:25:34,041 --> 00:25:35,041
Rudy.
452
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:37,500
I fucked bitches and paid my rent.
453
00:25:38,375 --> 00:25:41,791
I don't owe a living ass
a motherfucking cent.
454
00:25:41,875 --> 00:25:42,875
[dings]
455
00:25:43,791 --> 00:25:44,791
[dings]
456
00:25:45,833 --> 00:25:48,625
So, motherfuckers, can't you see?
457
00:25:48,708 --> 00:25:51,458
I pity the son of a bitch
that fucks with me.
458
00:25:55,125 --> 00:25:58,541
I can walk the desert sand
and never leave a track.
459
00:25:58,625 --> 00:26:00,375
Fuck the hump out of a camel's back.
460
00:26:00,458 --> 00:26:04,958
Hey, man. All right, wait for a second.
Wanna buy one of these ashtrays, nigga?
461
00:26:05,041 --> 00:26:06,916
[man] Welcome back
to the Californian Club
462
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,916
Mr. Dolemite himself--Rudy Ray Moore.
463
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,250
Yes, I want you to listen and listen well.
464
00:26:13,333 --> 00:26:16,583
'Cause I'm that bad motherfucker
that drove the devil out of hell.
465
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:21,958
I once walked from New York City
to the deep, deep South
466
00:26:22,041 --> 00:26:25,000
just to slap a son of a bitch
in his motherfucking mouth.
467
00:26:30,291 --> 00:26:31,541
All right.
468
00:26:31,625 --> 00:26:35,083
Mules have kicked me,
and they didn't bruise my hide.
469
00:26:36,333 --> 00:26:39,166
A rattlesnake bit me
and then just crawled off and died.
470
00:26:40,708 --> 00:26:45,291
'Cause Dolemite is my name,
and fucking up motherfuckers is my game.
471
00:26:50,166 --> 00:26:52,875
[over record] He said, "Your daddy's
a freak, and your mama's a whore."
472
00:26:53,958 --> 00:26:55,291
[audience cheering]
473
00:26:55,375 --> 00:26:59,333
Said he spotted you in the jungle
selling your black ass from door-to-door.
474
00:26:59,416 --> 00:27:00,791
Quiet. Listen.
475
00:27:00,875 --> 00:27:03,500
Said your sister got down
and did a hell of a trick.
476
00:27:04,291 --> 00:27:07,083
She got so low
she sucked a earthworm's dick.
477
00:27:07,166 --> 00:27:09,875
-What the hell is this?
-Every black hipster is listening to it.
478
00:27:09,958 --> 00:27:12,583
You go down Crenshaw,
South Central, Baldwin Hills--
479
00:27:12,666 --> 00:27:14,500
this is blasting out of every door.
480
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:16,166
It's insane.
481
00:27:16,250 --> 00:27:18,583
The guy is actually selling it
out of his car trunk.
482
00:27:20,041 --> 00:27:21,958
And you think this can cross over?
483
00:27:22,791 --> 00:27:25,250
To who? Whites?
484
00:27:25,333 --> 00:27:27,958
No. To blacks
who don't shop out of car trunks.
485
00:27:28,041 --> 00:27:30,208
[routine continues, indistinct]
486
00:27:30,291 --> 00:27:32,708
I just want to say
to all you Bihari brothers
487
00:27:32,791 --> 00:27:34,166
that I am ecstatic.
488
00:27:34,250 --> 00:27:35,666
Anything y'all want me to do, man.
489
00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:38,958
Whatever it takes to make this record
go up the charts, I'm ready to do it.
490
00:27:39,041 --> 00:27:40,625

00:44:33,875 --> 00:44:39,416
'Cause at the Oscars, they always say,
"It starts with the word."
820
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:41,166
So who gonna write that word, Rudy?
821
00:44:41,875 --> 00:44:43,458
My baby!
822
00:44:44,250 --> 00:44:47,166
The needle took my baby!
823
00:44:49,083 --> 00:44:52,500
Sweet Jesus, when will this stop?
824
00:44:52,583 --> 00:44:54,208
I'm gonna kill that pusher.
825
00:44:54,291 --> 00:44:56,583
-I'm gonna make him pay!
-No!
826
00:44:57,708 --> 00:45:00,208
More death won't solve our problems!
827
00:45:00,291 --> 00:45:01,666
Well, then what will, Mom?
828
00:45:02,375 --> 00:45:05,500
[woman]
I am not about to lose another son.
829
00:45:05,583 --> 00:45:08,250
What, you gonnna sit here and pray?
And cry?
830
00:45:08,916 --> 00:45:11,458
That's what made him turn to that junk
in the first place.
831
00:45:12,583 --> 00:45:14,166
Keeping it inside.
832
00:45:16,708 --> 00:45:19,916
It wasn't about the text,
it was about the emotions.
833
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,625
Hey, sister. Sorry to bother you.
You is a bad motherfucker.
834
00:45:22,708 --> 00:45:24,500
What you did tonight, I really enjoyed it.
835
00:45:24,583 --> 00:45:26,750
-Oh, thank you.
-Some of the best acting I seen.
836
00:45:26,833 --> 00:45:29,000
I'm trying to find Jerry
that wrote the play. Where's he?
837
00:45:29,083 --> 00:45:30,083
Uh, right here. I'm Jerry.
838
00:45:30,166 --> 00:45:32,875
Hey, man! How you doing, brother?
Good to meet you.
839
00:45:32,958 --> 00:45:35,500
Yeah, I called you just recently,
and I sent you some of my albums.
840
00:45:35,583 --> 00:45:38,625
-I'm Rudy Ray Moore.
-Yes. Oh, yes, yes. A pleasure, Mr. Moore.
841
00:45:38,708 --> 00:45:42,083
Yeah, man. Look, I ain't even know about
this theater. It's mighty fine, though.
842
00:45:42,166 --> 00:45:44,333
A lot of talented brothers
and sisters wanna act,
843
00:45:44,416 --> 00:45:46,041
but nobody's hiring them,
know what I mean?
844
00:45:46,125 --> 00:45:49,375
No TV, no movies. So this is where
they come to show off their craft.
845
00:45:49,458 --> 00:45:50,916
That's beautiful, man.
846
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,625
So, regarding your albums.
847
00:45:52,708 --> 00:45:55,291
-Right.
-I gotta be honest. I listened to them.
848
00:45:55,375 --> 00:45:56,875
They're not really my bag.
849
00:45:57,916 --> 00:45:59,875
Oh, well, brother,
you ain't got to be funny.
850
00:45:59,958 --> 00:46:02,916
All I want you to do is write a story
for me, all the things that happen.
851
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,791
The good guys and the bad guys,
the cops and robbers. Them kinda things.
852
00:46:05,875 --> 00:46:09,500
-I'm gonna supply all the comedy.
-Oh...
853
00:46:10,250 --> 00:46:15,416
I can be humorous. But my work
has to inform as well as entertain.
854
00:46:15,500 --> 00:46:18,166
For example, my next play
is called The Devil's Cotton Field.
855
00:46:18,250 --> 00:46:22,666
It's a piece of black history
set in the country town I grew up in.
856
00:46:22,750 --> 00:46:24,166
It's called Varner, Arkansas.
857
00:46:24,250 --> 00:46:27,916
Varner. You from Varner?
Shit, I'm from Fort Smith, nigga.
858
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,041
-All right, we got something in common.
-What, that we're both from Arkansas?
859
00:46:31,125 --> 00:46:33,708
That we both knew to get our black asses
out of Arkansas.
860
00:46:33,791 --> 00:46:35,791
Ain't nothing but canned mutton
in that motherfucker.
861
00:46:35,875 --> 00:46:37,000
You got that right.
862
00:46:37,083 --> 00:46:41,625
Rudy, I admire your tenacity,
but... I'm about my art.
863
00:46:41,708 --> 00:46:44,583
I write my plays,
I teach at an acting school.
864
00:46:44,666 --> 00:46:48,041
-I'm trying to uplift the community.
-Come on with all that bullshit, man.
865
00:46:48,125 --> 00:46:51,750
We both left Arkansas for L.A.,
and we doing the same hustle now.
866
00:46:51,833 --> 00:46:53,291
And I dig what you're doing here.
867
00:46:53,375 --> 00:46:55,750
This is beautiful,
bringing the people together and all that.
868
00:46:55,833 --> 00:46:59,250
That's what I aspire to do.
But I'm talking about something bigger.
869
00:46:59,333 --> 00:47:03,333
I'm talking about the opportunity
to get your message to all the people
870
00:47:03,416 --> 00:47:04,708
through movies.
871
00:47:06,541 --> 00:47:08,416
Jerry Jones movies.
872
00:47:11,541 --> 00:47:14,833
We want this thing to be raw.
Tell it like it is on the streets.
873
00:47:14,916 --> 00:47:17,625
Yeah, lots of pimps and whores
and cussing and all that shit.
874
00:47:18,666 --> 00:47:21,416
And kung fu, karate.
Brothers love all that kung fu.
875
00:47:21,500 --> 00:47:25,291
Gotta have all the kung fu and karate
and that Bruce Lee shit. They love that.
876
00:47:25,375 --> 00:47:27,583
I'm sorry, do-- do you know karate?
877
00:47:27,666 --> 00:47:30,750
No, but I'm a fast learner.
I can learn how to chop me a motherfucker!
878
00:47:30,833 --> 00:47:32,750
[karate yells]
879
00:47:34,166 --> 00:47:35,750
You know what we should have?
880
00:47:35,833 --> 00:47:38,000
A all-girl kung-fu army.
881
00:47:39,250 --> 00:47:41,000
-Um, you know, there's...
-[kettle blows]
882
00:47:41,083 --> 00:47:43,750
...there's plenty
of story opportunity, Rudy.
883
00:47:44,375 --> 00:47:47,666
Across this nation, inner cities
are bein' plagued by violent crime.
884
00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:52,041
-I feel the government hasn't stepped up--
-That's it. It's whitey's fault.
885
00:47:52,541 --> 00:47:54,291
It's a corrupt government. They corrupt.
886
00:47:54,375 --> 00:47:57,000
The motherfucker don't care about
the people. The mayor is corrupt.
887
00:47:57,083 --> 00:48:00,083
He one of them Nixon motherfuckers.
And there's a exorcism.
888
00:48:00,166 --> 00:48:02,958
-Goddamn it, an exorcism?
-Yeah, you know, all that...
889
00:48:03,041 --> 00:48:05,791
[growling]
"Your mother sucks cocks in hell."
890
00:48:05,875 --> 00:48:08,333
They love that shit.
That's they favorite dish right now.
891
00:48:08,416 --> 00:48:12,958
Okay. Um, I don't know how that
fits into our urban motif.
892
00:48:14,708 --> 00:48:18,416
Maybe you're right. I don't wanna be
cleaning up green vomit off the set.
893
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:20,416
We'll put the devil in another movie.
894
00:48:21,708 --> 00:48:28,041
Rudy, um, in storytelling,
it's always best to, um...
895
00:48:29,166 --> 00:48:30,708
you know, write what you know.
896
00:48:33,125 --> 00:48:35,625
Now what do you mean
when you say "write what you know"?
897
00:48:35,708 --> 00:48:38,208
What do I... I mean...
898
00:48:38,916 --> 00:48:41,875
You've lived a life, you know?
You-- Things you've done.
899
00:48:42,625 --> 00:48:45,500
So you tell stories
about your own experience.
900
00:48:45,583 --> 00:48:48,500
It ain't nothing talk about
my personal life whatsoever, man.
901
00:48:48,583 --> 00:48:51,500
Nothing interesting happen there.
I deal with the professional.
902
00:48:51,583 --> 00:48:53,625
-Okay, good.
-Yeah, that's the night life.
903
00:48:53,708 --> 00:48:55,791
And it's clubs and club owners
and promoters
904
00:48:55,875 --> 00:48:58,875
and mobsters, and the money
be disappearing all the time,
905
00:48:58,958 --> 00:49:04,416
and you got the pimps and whores
turning tricks in the walk-in freezer.
906
00:49:04,500 --> 00:49:05,500
That's good.
907
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Okay, then.
908
00:49:08,875 --> 00:49:11,333
Yeah. We could use all that.

You gotta understand, Rudy.
You're not just asking for a loan here.

You're asking for an advance
on future royalties.

that he got the BVDs up his ass

I offered to clear 'em all out.

Wanna know who I am? I'm Dolemite.

[man] That seems to work just fine.
1151
01:03:00,333 --> 01:03:02,583
So, how'd you find yourself
on this production?
1152
01:03:02,666 --> 01:03:06,916
-Oh, well, actually, I'm Rudy's protegée.
-Ah.
1153
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,708
Yeah. I think, um,
what they call in Hollywood, um...
1154
01:03:10,791 --> 01:03:12,458
an ingenue.
1155
01:03:12,541 --> 01:03:14,208
-Ah.
-Yeah. Mm-hmm.
1156
01:03:14,291 --> 01:03:16,125
How did you become a part of this film?
1157
01:03:16,208 --> 01:03:17,125
Well-- [clears throat]
1158
01:03:17,208 --> 01:03:21,875
I sort of specialize in playing
the bad white guy around town.
1159
01:03:21,958 --> 01:03:24,666
-Mm-hmm.
-All the black shows need a heavy.
1160
01:03:24,750 --> 01:03:28,166
I played the plantation owner
at the Ebony Showcase.
1161
01:03:28,250 --> 01:03:31,333
I played a Southern lyncher
at the Cultural Center.
1162
01:03:31,416 --> 01:03:35,333
And I played a rapist
at the Wilshire Ebell.
1163
01:03:35,916 --> 01:03:41,208
Okay. So you just basically figured out
what you're good at, huh?
1164
01:03:43,541 --> 01:03:45,208
This scene makes no fucking sense.
1165
01:03:45,291 --> 01:03:46,666
Why don't it make sense?
1166
01:03:46,750 --> 01:03:50,916
Why would the warden release the prisoner
so that he can go undercover?
1167
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,625
Because there is a drug issue
in the neighborhood.
1168
01:03:53,708 --> 01:03:55,625
We're dealing with society.
We're keepin' it real.
1169
01:03:55,708 --> 01:03:58,750
Aw, come on, man. Come on.
1170
01:03:59,625 --> 01:04:01,291
Look, you cats is pretending.
1171
01:04:01,958 --> 01:04:06,583
You pretending like the warden
is a policeman, but he ain't.
1172
01:04:06,666 --> 01:04:08,291
Wardens don't investigate.
1173
01:04:08,375 --> 01:04:11,875
You forgetting that the warden
is working with the governor!
1174
01:04:11,958 --> 01:04:14,125
-Thank you.
-Who gives a shit?
1175
01:04:14,208 --> 01:04:15,541
How's it make any sense?
1176
01:04:15,625 --> 01:04:18,625
Because the governor
is friends with Queen Bee.
1177
01:04:21,458 --> 01:04:23,666
Jibber. Jabber.
1178
01:04:23,750 --> 01:04:25,291
-What?
-Jibber-jabber.
1179
01:04:25,375 --> 01:04:27,083
-How is it jibber-jabber?
-How is that?
1180
01:04:27,166 --> 01:04:29,083
You telling me
that just because the governor
1181
01:04:29,166 --> 01:04:31,833
is tight with the woman
that own the whorehouse
1182
01:04:31,916 --> 01:04:34,541
that he make the prison
release her friend?
1183
01:04:34,625 --> 01:04:35,750
[both] Yes!
1184
01:04:37,583 --> 01:04:40,208
Fuck it. Y'all do what you wanna do.
1185
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,208
-What do you think about the lighting?
-Why don't we turn off all of the lights?
1186
01:04:44,291 --> 01:04:46,166
That way, we don't have to
look at the scene.
1187
01:04:46,250 --> 01:04:48,416
-Hey, man, that ain't cool.
-Ow. Ow.
1188
01:04:48,500 --> 01:04:50,125
I know you Mr. Big Time,
1189
01:04:50,208 --> 01:04:52,750
but the rest of us ain't never done
no shit like this before.
1190
01:04:52,833 --> 01:04:55,916
I'm paying for this whole goddamn thing,
and I ain't got no fucking ego about it.
1191
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,750
If a box need to get moved,
I will move the box,
1192
01:04:58,833 --> 01:04:59,875
and if the crew get hungry,
1193
01:04:59,958 --> 01:05:02,083
I go downstairs
and start making sandwiches.
1194
01:05:02,875 --> 01:05:06,041
'Cause we are here to work together
to make a movie!
1195
01:05:07,750 --> 01:05:11,458
It's cool, baby. No smoke, man.
Everything cool.
1196
01:05:13,375 --> 01:05:16,916
Scene two--warden's office.
Take one marker.
1197
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,000
Action.
1198
01:05:19,750 --> 01:05:21,000
Sit down, Dolemite.
1199
01:05:22,958 --> 01:05:25,333
You know Mama Queen Bee here,
I'm sure.
1200
01:05:26,291 --> 01:05:27,541
For damn near two years,
1201
01:05:27,625 --> 01:05:30,000
she's been bugging me
about your innocence.
1202
01:05:30,666 --> 01:05:32,750
And you know the funny thing?
1203
01:05:32,833 --> 01:05:33,875
I believe her.
1204
01:05:34,916 --> 01:05:38,791
We've stumbled onto some facts
that may set you free.
1205
01:05:43,791 --> 01:05:46,375
Now, you're a gambling man, aren't you?
1206
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,208
It depends on the game, Warden,
and how high the stakes are.
1207
01:05:52,666 --> 01:05:54,791
Well, I might as well level with you.
1208
01:05:54,875 --> 01:05:59,666
The game is rough,
and the stake is your life.
1209
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,583
Damn, that was so real!
1210
01:06:09,666 --> 01:06:12,458
You see how he was staring at me?
I got a chill down my back.
1211
01:06:12,541 --> 01:06:14,333
Man, that was some good shit.
1212
01:06:14,416 --> 01:06:17,666
This gonna be a good scene.
Man, I can't wait to watch this movie.
1213
01:06:17,791 --> 01:06:19,166
Hey, when can we watch the movie?
1214
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,625
-Cut.

What do you want?
1220
01:06:36,791 --> 01:06:37,916

1221
01:06:39,916 --> 01:06:41,833
What do you want, man?
Where's your warrant at?
1222
01:06:41,916 --> 01:06:44,666
[man] This badge is my warrant.
Open up the trunk.
1223
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,041
There's nothing in my trunk, man.
1224
01:06:49,125 --> 01:06:50,375
Open the trunk!

[Rudy] That shit ain't mine.
I don't know how it got in there.

Is there any angle
that you could shoot this
1230
01:07:26,500 --> 01:07:28,541
where it looks
like he's actually kicking him?
1231
01:07:30,250 --> 01:07:31,708
There's no such angle.
1232
01:07:35,250 --> 01:07:36,333
Roll it.

01:22:37,125 --> 01:22:40,458
That's it, y'all. We're done.
Thank God for that shit.
1477
01:22:40,541 --> 01:22:42,708
Oh, Lord, this was a living hell.
1478
01:22:42,791 --> 01:22:45,833
I don't know how I got myself into this,
but they say sometimes you...
1479
01:22:45,916 --> 01:22:48,041
got to go through hell to get to heaven.
1480
01:22:48,125 --> 01:22:51,958
And that's exactly where I'm going.
I just got a call from Black Caesar.
1481
01:22:52,041 --> 01:22:54,333
Fred Williamson. He's my friend.
1482
01:22:54,416 --> 01:22:55,916
We're gonna do a real movie.
1483
01:22:58,583 --> 01:22:59,583
Damn.
1484
01:23:00,958 --> 01:23:03,625
So I wanted to say y'all did a good job.
1485
01:23:05,166 --> 01:23:07,541
Crew, stunt peoples...
1486
01:23:08,208 --> 01:23:09,208
whores.
1487
01:23:10,875 --> 01:23:15,125
I'm going on now. I'll see y'all
at the-- at the premiere. Okay.
1488
01:23:20,666 --> 01:23:22,291
[door opens]
1489
01:23:22,375 --> 01:23:25,541
No, no, no.
Probably won't be a premiere, so...
1490
01:23:29,166 --> 01:23:30,666
Some bullshit.
1491
01:23:34,250 --> 01:23:36,333
-[Ben] Man, fuck him.
-Yeah.
1492
01:23:36,416 --> 01:23:37,750
I like the movie.
1493
01:23:37,833 --> 01:23:41,458
Yeah, me too. Fuck,
I think the motherfucker was a four-star.
1494
01:23:41,541 --> 01:23:44,375
-Rudy, you did it. We made a movie.
-That's amazing shit.
1495
01:23:44,458 --> 01:23:45,500
[man] Yeah, we did.
1496
01:23:45,583 --> 01:23:48,916
Wait, wait, wait, wait. It's not over
until you say, "That's a wrap."
1497
01:23:52,166 --> 01:23:53,625
All right, y'all, that's a wrap.
1498
01:23:53,708 --> 01:23:56,958
-No, no, no, no.
-Give us a Dolemite wrap.
1499
01:23:59,875 --> 01:24:02,166
That's a motherfuckin' wrap!
1500
01:24:04,916 --> 01:24:07,250
That's a no-business-born!
1501
01:24:07,333 --> 01:24:08,333
Insecure!
1502
01:24:08,416 --> 01:24:11,916
Barnyard motherfuckin' wrap!
1503
01:24:12,625 --> 01:24:13,583
Yeah!
1504
01:24:18,958 --> 01:24:21,083
[overlapping chatter]
1505
01:24:22,916 --> 01:24:25,916
I'm a bad motherfucker, dude.
We made a hell of a movie.
1506
01:24:27,125 --> 01:24:30,416
Congratulations, y'all.
We made this motherfucking movie!
1507
01:24:49,083 --> 01:24:51,208
[telephone ringing]
1508
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,250
[ringing continues]
1509
01:25:12,375 --> 01:25:14,375
Comedian International.
How may I help you?
1510
01:25:15,875 --> 01:25:18,208
Oh, no, Mr. Moore is available.
One second, please.
1511
01:25:23,125 --> 01:25:25,500
Yes, this is Rudy Ray Moore.
Who am I speaking with?
1512
01:25:26,375 --> 01:25:30,125
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Did you get a chance
to review my production?
1513
01:25:31,625 --> 01:25:34,541
You did? Yes, okay. What--
1514
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:37,583
Well, yes, it was a real movie.
1515
01:25:37,666 --> 01:25:40,666
It is a actual real movie,
and everybody got paid, yes.
1516
01:25:40,750 --> 01:25:43,458
Yes, very professional production. Right.
1517
01:25:44,083 --> 01:25:46,791
No, I learned-I learned kung fu
for the movie.
1518
01:25:46,875 --> 01:25:49,208
I didn't know kung fu
before I started the movie.
1519
01:25:49,958 --> 01:25:54,958
Yes. Oh, no, you-- Yeah, you're right.
This was Lady Reed's first production.
1520
01:25:55,041 --> 01:25:58,583
Right, this was her motion-picture debut.
1521
01:25:58,666 --> 01:25:59,666
Uh-huh.
1522
01:26:01,833 --> 01:26:02,791
Really?
1523
01:26:03,666 --> 01:26:04,708
Oh, well.
1524
01:26:05,750 --> 01:26:09,416
Well, you know, we was gonna do
a fresh new edit on
1525
01:26:09,500 --> 01:26:13,500
and was gonna change a couple of things
and a re-shoot for-for the ending.
1526
01:26:13,583 --> 01:26:14,958
Change the ending ar--
1527
01:26:15,958 --> 01:26:16,958
Right.
1528
01:26:18,375 --> 01:26:19,375
Okay.
1529
01:26:20,750 --> 01:26:23,750
All right, well, yeah.
No, we totally understand.
1530
01:26:24,875 --> 01:26:27,708
Yeah, man, thank you so much
for your consideration.
1531
01:26:43,250 --> 01:26:46,666
Well... at least we had a good time.
1532
01:26:46,750 --> 01:26:48,458
You know what, Ben? Fuck you, man.
1533
01:26:48,541 --> 01:26:51,083
Your ass had fun 'cause you ain't
have to pay for all this shit.
1534
01:26:51,166 --> 01:26:52,750
I'm in debt up to my ears.
1535
01:26:53,375 --> 01:26:55,416
I gave all my record royalties
to the Bihari Brothers,
1536
01:26:55,500 --> 01:26:57,333
and don't nobody want this damn movie.
1537
01:26:58,041 --> 01:26:59,541
Nigga, you got a whole lot of nerve
1538
01:26:59,625 --> 01:27:01,958
ordering a extra side of greens
at a time like this.
1539
01:27:02,041 --> 01:27:03,625
Pay for these fucking greens yourself.
1540
01:27:03,708 --> 01:27:05,958
In fact, you're gonna all start paying
for your own shit,
1541
01:27:06,041 --> 01:27:08,333
'cause I ain't no fucking endless faucet
of fucking money.
1542
01:27:08,416 --> 01:27:10,625
Here, you pay for them waffles,
you pay for that burger,
1543
01:27:10,708 --> 01:27:12,666
you pay for your shit,
your extra greens, nigga.
1544
01:27:12,750 --> 01:27:13,875
You're having strawberries.
1545
01:27:13,958 --> 01:27:16,791
You pay for your motherfucking
strawberries your damn self.
1546
01:27:16,875 --> 01:27:19,291
I don't understand your attitude.
1547
01:27:19,375 --> 01:27:22,750
I mean, it ain't like you ain't
never been told no before, Rudy.
1548
01:27:22,833 --> 01:27:26,208
-I mean, you're the comeback king, man.
-Yeah, when we doing stuff I know about.
1549
01:27:26,291 --> 01:27:28,833
Nightclubs and records.
Those is my world, okay?
1550
01:27:28,916 --> 01:27:31,958
A man slam a door in my face,
I just find another door.
1551
01:27:32,041 --> 01:27:33,333
Thought anybody could be a star.
1552
01:27:33,416 --> 01:27:37,791
But apparently don't nobody wanna see
our ugly black ass up on the screen!
1553
01:27:37,875 --> 01:27:40,041
Strawberry shortcake-eating motherfucker.
1554
01:27:40,125 --> 01:27:42,791
-Hey, man, I like strawberry-- Rudy!
-[Jerry] Come on, Rudy!
1555
01:27:43,708 --> 01:27:46,958
Yes, I was born
in a barrel of butcher knives,
1556
01:27:47,041 --> 01:27:50,375
then shot in the ass twice
with two Colt .45s.
1557
01:27:50,458 --> 01:27:51,416
[audience laughing]
1558
01:27:51,500 --> 01:27:55,250
Yes, I been slapped by a bear
and bit by an eel.
1559
01:27:56,125 --> 01:27:59,375
I chew up railroad iron,
and I shit out steel.
1560
01:28:04,625 --> 01:28:07,958
Yes, I was kicked out of South America
for fucking steers.
1561
01:28:08,708 --> 01:28:11,791
I fucked the she-elephant
till she broke down to tears.
1562
01:28:15,625 --> 01:28:18,333
I just can't believe
I'm back here on this grind.
1563
01:28:19,625 --> 01:28:21,500
I'm actually worse off than I was before,
1564
01:28:21,583 --> 01:28:23,458
'cause I don't even own my records
no more.
1565
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,916
Now what kind of fool works so hard
to build something up like that
1566
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:30,500
and just throw the shit all away?
1567
01:28:30,583 --> 01:28:31,916
Ah-ah. Mm-mm.
1568
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:35,708
No, Rudy. You ain't no fool now.
Watch your mouth.
1569
01:28:37,083 --> 01:28:39,083
I thought that movie
was gon' change everything,
1570
01:28:39,166 --> 01:28:40,875
make me a fucking star.
1571
01:28:45,375 --> 01:28:47,458
Well, you're still a star to me.
1572
01:28:51,375 --> 01:28:52,791
[sighs] Okay.
1573
01:28:53,875 --> 01:28:55,125
Good night, Lady Reed.
1574
01:28:55,791 --> 01:28:56,791
Good night, Rudy.
1575
01:28:57,666 --> 01:28:59,000
[hangs up]
1576
01:29:05,583 --> 01:29:10,625
Bobby Vale in the Morning,
WFKK, Indianapolis.
1577
01:29:10,708 --> 01:29:14,625
And we are so excited
to have Mr. Rudy Ray Moore,
1578
01:29:14,708 --> 01:29:18,083
the man, the legend,
the phenomenon in studio.
1579
01:29:18,166 --> 01:29:22,541
I'm looking right at him.
I'm sittin' with him right now,
1580
01:29:22,625 --> 01:29:26,625
and he's gonna be in Indianapolis
all week performing at Gordy's Lounge,
1581
01:29:26,708 --> 01:29:28,208
so give it up for Mr. Rudy Ray Moore.
1582
01:29:28,291 --> 01:29:30,833
All right, man.
Really happy to be here today.
1583
01:29:30,916 --> 01:29:34,125
Now, Rudy, I gotta ask you this
'cause I'm a hell of a fan.
1584
01:29:34,208 --> 01:29:35,208
Yeah, man.
1585
01:29:35,291 --> 01:29:39,375
There's a rumor
that you made a Dolemite movie.
1586
01:29:39,458 --> 01:29:41,750
Is that true? And if it is,
when can we see this movie?
1587
01:29:41,833 --> 01:29:43,583
I wish I could answer the question, y'all,
1588
01:29:43,666 --> 01:29:47,541
but I really can't answer the question
at this time, 'cause I just don't know.
1589
01:29:48,791 --> 01:29:50,375
You're not gon' give us nothing?
1590
01:29:50,458 --> 01:29:54,291
I-I really can't really
give y'all the date--
1591
01:29:54,375 --> 01:29:55,416
A hint.
1592
01:29:56,041 --> 01:29:58,583
If I had a hint, I give it to y'all, man.
You know me.
1593
01:29:58,666 --> 01:30:00,083
You know if I had a date,
1594
01:30:00,166 --> 01:30:02,958
I'd tell y'all right now,
but I don't know nothin'.
1595
01:30:04,125 --> 01:30:08,416
Hey, we'll be right back
with Rudy Ray Moore.
1596
01:30:08,500 --> 01:30:13,083
This is Bobby Vale, WFKK, Indianapolis.
1597
01:30:20,958 --> 01:30:23,291
What the fuck is your problem, man?
1598
01:30:23,375 --> 01:30:25,416
I'm tryin' to help you out.
1599
01:30:25,500 --> 01:30:28,458
I'm in here promoting you, and you won't
even answer my fuckin' questions.
1600
01:30:28,541 --> 01:30:31,041
Hey, look, Bobby.
I can't answer your goddamn question
1601
01:30:31,125 --> 01:30:34,000
'cause the movie
ain't never comin' out, okay?
1602
01:30:34,083 --> 01:30:37,166
-That don't make no sense.
-Yeah, but it's true. It's done.
1603
01:30:37,250 --> 01:30:40,958
Don't nobody wanna show the motherfucker.
I don't know what to do, man.
1604
01:30:41,958 --> 01:30:43,333
[Bobby] You know what?
1605
01:30:44,916 --> 01:30:47,125
I got a cousin
1606
01:30:47,208 --> 01:30:50,416
that manages a movie theater
called Uptown.
1607
01:30:51,291 --> 01:30:52,458
Maybe...
1608
01:30:53,750 --> 01:30:55,041
should give him a call.
1609
01:30:58,750 --> 01:30:59,791
But what's he gonna do?
1610
01:30:59,875 --> 01:31:03,583
I don't know. Maybe run it.
Play your damn movie. Fuck it. Can't hurt.
1611
01:31:04,375 --> 01:31:06,000
And we are back.
1612
01:31:14,791 --> 01:31:17,041
Now, we don't have
a midnight movie on Friday,
1613
01:31:17,125 --> 01:31:20,000
so I suppose we could do it then.
1614
01:31:20,083 --> 01:31:21,791
How does $500 sound?
1615
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:24,916
That sounds fair. Perfect.
1616
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:27,791
So, when can I receive my advance?
1617
01:31:27,875 --> 01:31:30,666
-What? Advance?
-The money. When you gonna pay me?
1618
01:31:30,750 --> 01:31:34,166
No. You see,
this is what they call four-walling.
1619
01:31:34,250 --> 01:31:38,541
Yeah. You pay me,
and then you get all the ticket sales.
1620
01:31:39,166 --> 01:31:40,916
We did it with Billy Jack.
1621
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,166
And I think we even did it
with Grizzly Adams.
1622
01:31:43,250 --> 01:31:46,666
Man, you could clean up
if you successful.
1623
01:31:48,083 --> 01:31:50,416
So I got to pay to show my movie?
1624
01:31:54,375 --> 01:31:57,250
Well, goddamn. Am I gonna get
some of the popcorn money?
1625
01:31:57,333 --> 01:32:01,291
Oh, that's mine.
But you get all the box office.
1626
01:32:01,375 --> 01:32:04,875
Now, if you promote the shit
out the movie-- [laughs]
1627
01:32:04,958 --> 01:32:07,000
aw, you could make some serious bread.
1628
01:32:08,500 --> 01:32:10,500
[funk music playing]
1629
01:32:25,250 --> 01:32:27,250
[popcorn popping]
1630
01:32:30,833 --> 01:32:33,875
Toney. I need you to break
into a hotel right now.
1631
01:32:33,958 --> 01:32:35,500
The Dunbar, man!
1632
01:32:35,583 --> 01:32:38,083
Look, I need you to go up
into my bedroom in the Dunbar
1633
01:32:38,166 --> 01:32:41,666
and get all five reels
and put 'em on a plane tonight!
1634
01:32:41,750 --> 01:32:43,500
I need that movie in Indianapolis
right now!
1635
01:32:44,666 --> 01:32:46,791
Hey, my man. Hey, brother,
don't miss it. This Friday.
1636
01:32:46,875 --> 01:32:49,208
Uptown Theater.
Dolemite in person, live in person.
1637
01:32:49,291 --> 01:32:52,291
That's me, Rudy Ray Moore, baby.
Come on down and check me out.
1638
01:32:52,375 --> 01:32:54,083
Ladies, come on down
to the Uptown Theater.
1639
01:32:54,166 --> 01:32:56,875
Shit, we don't want you all up
into any damn movie with your tight ass.
1640
01:32:56,958 --> 01:32:58,375
You got the cutest little baby.
1641
01:32:58,458 --> 01:33:02,416
Hi, little baby. Jibbee, jibbee.
Come down to Dolemite Theater, all right?
1642
01:33:02,500 --> 01:33:05,541
Can't bring the baby, though.
Brother, come to the theater tomorrow.
1643
01:33:05,625 --> 01:33:11,291
If you crave satisfaction,
this is the place to find that action.
1644
01:33:11,375 --> 01:33:14,958
Coming to the Uptown Theater
as its next attraction!
1645
01:33:15,041 --> 01:33:18,791
A movie guaranteed
to put your black ass in traction.

1651
01:33:35,875 --> 01:33:38,416
The Dolemite movie. It's like Christmas,

and your mama ain't cryin'.

You've been gone for so long.
Got a lot of warming up to do.

-No shit, baby.
-I can dig it.

Look at the shit they gave me
to get out of prison, man.

Glad y'all brought my clothes.

You bring me fucking cotton drawers.
I don't wear fucking cotton drawers.

-[man] Yeah.

01:35:37,666 --> 01:35:42,333
I'm a little confused.
Now, is this movie supposed to be funny?
1681
01:35:42,416 --> 01:35:44,916
I was expecting a Shaft kind of a thing.
1682
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,541
Of course it's supposed to be funny.
They get it. That's why they're laughin'.
1683
01:35:48,625 --> 01:35:51,333
It's a comedy
and it's sexy and it's action.
1684
01:35:51,416 --> 01:35:53,375
It's a total entertainment experience.

What is Generation International?
1731
01:38:55,708 --> 01:38:58,708
I thought you said your production company
was Comedian International.
1732

[Rudy] Comedian International is
a subsidiary of Generation International.

is why for come I need you?

'Cause far as I can see, man,
I'm doing pretty fuckin' good by myself.

1741
01:39:27,458 --> 01:39:30,916
there's a certain professional way
to go about distributing a film.
1742
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,333
We all know that there's a history
of niggas making some art,
1743
01:39:34,416 --> 01:39:37,291
and the white man come along
and steal all the money.
1744

And y'all sure in the fuck
ain't finna do to me

You wanna do it your way,
you go right ahead.
1748
01:39:47,416 --> 01:39:52,125
You go out there, you introduce your movie
into every theater in the country.
1749
01:39:52,208 --> 01:39:53,333
You know, knock yourself out.
1750
01:39:53,416 --> 01:39:57,333
You're gonna be releasing Dolemite
for the next five years.
1751
01:39:57,416 --> 01:40:00,875
But if you wanna do it right,
well, here we are.
1752
01:40:00,958 --> 01:40:06,125
You know, hey...
Now, we've passed once, so...
1753
01:40:07,125 --> 01:40:08,125
we fucked up.
1754
01:40:08,208 --> 01:40:10,416
-Damn right, you fucked up.
-You knock it down.
1755
01:40:10,500 --> 01:40:12,375
That's the understatement of the year.
1756
01:40:12,458 --> 01:40:14,833
But allow us now to sell ourselves to you.
1757
01:40:14,916 --> 01:40:18,958
Dimension International--
we have two sweet spots.
1758
01:40:19,041 --> 01:40:20,500
Redneck pictures.
1759
01:40:20,583 --> 01:40:21,958
Right? Those are hillbillies
1760
01:40:22,041 --> 01:40:25,416
and moonshine and sheriffs,
and those play at the Southern drive-ins.
1761
01:40:25,500 --> 01:40:30,791
Now, the second sweet spot
is blaxploitation films.
1762
01:40:30,875 --> 01:40:35,208
It's films about blacks and for blacks.
And you know where they play?
1763
01:40:35,291 --> 01:40:39,958
They play in
the big beautiful movie showcases.
1764
01:40:40,041 --> 01:40:41,750
And every downtown has 'em.
1765
01:40:41,833 --> 01:40:47,125
They were built in the 1920s.
They seat 2,000, 3,000 people.
1766
01:40:47,208 --> 01:40:48,500
They used to be very popular,
1767
01:40:48,583 --> 01:40:51,458
but then the white audience,
you know, skedaddled out to the suburbs.
1768
01:40:51,541 --> 01:40:54,666
And what's left?
Well, the black urban audience.
1769
01:40:54,750 --> 01:40:55,875
Now, I'll tell you what.
1770
01:40:55,958 --> 01:40:59,583
If we book the right films,
your film, these...
1771
01:41:00,166 --> 01:41:05,291
well, there is no other word for it,
but resplendent movie palaces,
1772
01:41:05,375 --> 01:41:08,208
well, I think we can make a killing.
1773
01:41:10,458 --> 01:41:11,541
You know...
1774
01:41:12,625 --> 01:41:14,166
in my new movie, there's a scene
1775
01:41:14,250 --> 01:41:18,500
where big bad Willie Green
comes back to town, and my club is stolen.
1776
01:41:18,583 --> 01:41:20,875
Takes all my receipts
and all my cash and all the girls.
1777
01:41:20,958 --> 01:41:23,083
Everything I been building up
my whole life.
1778
01:41:23,166 --> 01:41:26,583
He comes along, tries to take possession
'cause he think I don't know no better.
1779
01:41:27,708 --> 01:41:29,583
But that's when I start to take charge...
1780
01:41:31,208 --> 01:41:34,083
and I start showing motherfuckers
who's boss.
1781
01:41:34,166 --> 01:41:37,333
'Cause Dolemite ain't getting ripped off.
1782
01:41:37,416 --> 01:41:38,458
Can you dig it?
1783
01:41:39,916 --> 01:41:41,666
You gonna rip my guts out now?
1784
01:41:44,625 --> 01:41:46,500
We'll talk
after the first profit statement.
1785
01:41:47,333 --> 01:41:48,875
[Lawrence] All right! [laughing]
1786
01:41:50,458 --> 01:41:51,375
All right now.
1787
01:41:51,458 --> 01:41:53,041
We gonna be on Dimension Films.
1788
01:41:53,125 --> 01:41:55,583
Dolemite's gonna be on Dimension Films.
1789
01:41:56,375 --> 01:41:59,833
Opening this Friday at the Avon Theater!

01:42:09,500 --> 01:42:12,458
Get him on the fucking phone,
and this time, you talk to him.
1793
01:42:12,541 --> 01:42:14,833
You're not gonna believe who paid us back.
1794
01:42:20,291 --> 01:42:25,875
Yes, I put my finger in the ground
and turned the whole world upside down!

01:42:50,208 --> 01:42:52,416
Look at y'all. I see ya.
1802
01:42:52,500 --> 01:42:53,333
[Lady Reed laughs]
1803
01:42:55,583 --> 01:42:56,583
Whoo.
1804
01:42:57,541 --> 01:42:59,333
Well, don't you look good.
1805
01:43:01,125 --> 01:43:02,125
Milady.
1806
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:04,166
Hey, Rudy.
1807
01:43:05,541 --> 01:43:09,458
Baby, we have come a long way
from that club and that cow pasture.
1808
01:43:09,541 --> 01:43:12,500
Oh, yes, mama, we have. Yes, we have.
1809
01:43:12,583 --> 01:43:14,583
[both chuckle]
1810
01:43:15,791 --> 01:43:17,291
Oh, oh, Rudy, um...
1811
01:43:18,166 --> 01:43:19,875
I wanted to tell you something.
1812
01:43:20,708 --> 01:43:21,875
Uh...
1813
01:43:21,958 --> 01:43:25,166
I just wanted to say
that I'm so grateful.
1814
01:43:26,500 --> 01:43:30,583
I'm so grateful
for you putting me in this movie,
1815
01:43:30,666 --> 01:43:34,291
'cause I ain't never seen nobody
that looks like me...
1816
01:43:35,458 --> 01:43:37,291
up there on that big screen.
1817
01:43:39,250 --> 01:43:41,916
You know what I'm saying? Oh, shit.
1818
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:46,083
I may not be sexy, but I'm a real woman...
1819
01:43:46,958 --> 01:43:49,916
and I really appreciate
what you did for me.
1820
01:43:50,791 --> 01:43:51,958
So thank you.

1826
01:44:09,125 --> 01:44:12,958
Ooh, yes. All right. Look at this ad,
Rudy! You looking hot now.
1827
01:44:13,041 --> 01:44:15,166
Aw, yeah. Put your weight on it.
1828
01:44:15,250 --> 01:44:17,250
That's what I'm talking about.
1829
01:44:17,333 --> 01:44:18,750
Hey, hey, I found a review.
1830
01:44:18,833 --> 01:44:19,958
What's that say?
1831
01:44:23,625 --> 01:44:25,208
Go ahead, man. Just spit it out.
1832
01:44:26,375 --> 01:44:27,708
Go on, say what is it.
1833
01:44:29,708 --> 01:44:33,000
"Dull-emite is a more apt title."
1834
01:44:34,541 --> 01:44:36,875
What'd you say?
What'd you just say? "Dull" or "Dol"?
1835
01:44:36,958 --> 01:44:38,375
-Dull.
-Oh, really?
1836
01:44:38,458 --> 01:44:41,166
Dull-emite. Dull-emite.
1837
01:44:42,125 --> 01:44:43,375
Um...
1838
01:44:43,458 --> 01:44:46,250
"This could be
the lamest film of the year.
1839
01:44:46,333 --> 01:44:50,208
The plot is vague,
and the actors scream their lines.
1840
01:44:51,375 --> 01:44:55,250
Its only touch of originality
is in the introduction of...
1841
01:44:55,333 --> 01:44:57,416
the fat man as romantic hero."
1842
01:45:03,833 --> 01:45:06,208
-What's wrong with being portly?
-Not a damn thing.
1843
01:45:06,291 --> 01:45:09,000
I don't see nothing wrong with adding
a few extra pounds, personally.
1844
01:45:09,083 --> 01:45:10,750
-Exactly. Ain't nothing wrong...
-Fuck them.
1845
01:45:10,833 --> 01:45:12,541
-...with being a little heavyset.
-Mm-hmm.
1846
01:45:12,625 --> 01:45:15,750
[Rudy] That's just one review.
What's yours say there, Jerry?
1847
01:45:15,833 --> 01:45:17,291
[clears throat] Um...
1848
01:45:18,833 --> 01:45:24,791
"Dolemite is dreadful, humorless,
and a technically terrible movie."
1849
01:45:24,875 --> 01:45:27,625
Fuck that, Jerry, man.
Critics don't know nothing.
1850
01:45:27,708 --> 01:45:29,833
I don't even know
why they come in the first place.
1851
01:45:29,916 --> 01:45:32,583
They don't even like to have fun.
Nobody care what the critics say.
1852
01:45:32,666 --> 01:45:34,958
And besides, everybody know
when the brothers go to movies,
1853
01:45:35,041 --> 01:45:38,500
they wanna see car crashes,
explosions, and titties.
1854
01:45:38,583 --> 01:45:40,708
-And we've delivered that.
-Sho' did.
1855
01:45:40,791 --> 01:45:42,708
Look at this one right here.
This is perfect.
1856
01:45:42,791 --> 01:45:47,000
"Dolemite isn't fit
for a blind dog to see.
1857
01:45:47,083 --> 01:45:52,666
It is coarse, rude, crude,
and vulgar." Perfect.
1858
01:45:53,291 --> 01:45:56,166
"Perfect"? But why in the world
do you like that one?
1859
01:45:56,250 --> 01:45:58,041
That's gonna make people say,
"I'm going."
1860
01:45:58,125 --> 01:46:01,833
They gonna wanna see just how coarse,
rude, crude, and vulgar Dolemite is.
1861
01:46:02,916 --> 01:46:03,916
I'll be damned.
1862
01:46:36,500 --> 01:46:38,666
Hey, don't nobody worry about nothing.
1863
01:46:38,750 --> 01:46:41,541
No matter what happens,
tonight is a victory already,
1864
01:46:41,625 --> 01:46:43,666
even if don't but five people show up.
1865
01:46:44,375 --> 01:46:46,083
Look how far we came.
1866
01:46:46,166 --> 01:46:50,375
We riding in a limousine on opening night
to see our movie that we made.
1867
01:46:51,291 --> 01:46:54,208
I'm proud of myself. Y'all should
all be proud of y'all selves, too,
1868
01:46:54,291 --> 01:46:56,500
'cause I'm proud of y'all, we family,
and we did a movie.
1869
01:46:56,583 --> 01:46:58,333
-We going to see our movie.
-That's right.
1870
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,333
[Rudy] We gotta make a promise
to ourselves.
1871
01:47:01,416 --> 01:47:03,208
-No matter what happens...
-Mm-hmm.
1872
01:47:03,291 --> 01:47:04,583
...we have a great time.
1873
01:47:05,875 --> 01:47:06,875
Hmm?

-[Ben] Yeah, you're right.
-[Jerry] Agreed.

-All right.

-Yeah, Rudy.
-Thank you, Rudy.
1877

-You're already a winner.
-We winners.
1878
01:47:13,375 --> 01:47:15,041
-That's right, we're winners.
-Yeah.

-I feel good.
-[tires screech]

-Sweet Jesus.

-[Rudy] What happened?
-Rudy! Rudy, look!

Holy fuck.
1886
01:47:32,500 --> 01:47:34,375
[Jerry] Rudy, look at all these people.
1887

Oh, my God.

-Well done, everybody. Well done, Rudy.
-That is some crowd.

[crowd continues cheering]
1891
01:48:31,500 --> 01:48:34,166
Mr. Moore? Mr. Moore.
It's an honor to have you here.
1892
01:48:34,250 --> 01:48:37,291
But we need to move you inside!
We're not equipped for this kind of crowd!
1893
01:48:37,375 --> 01:48:39,833
It's crazy. So if we could
just get you to move inside!
1894
01:48:39,916 --> 01:48:41,291
The four chairs to the right.
1895
01:48:46,708 --> 01:48:51,125
Rudy. Rudy. I am your biggest fan.
I know. I have all your albums.
1896

-Rudy.
-This is crazy.
1897
01:48:53,416 --> 01:48:56,416
All right, let's all keep walking.
We have to get started.
1898
01:48:56,500 --> 01:48:58,916
We already sold out the 10 p.m.
and the midnight.
1899
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:02,041
And I think we have to add 2 a.m.
just to make everybody happy.
1900
01:49:02,125 --> 01:49:03,833
These people are gonna be here
till 2 a.m.?
1901
01:49:03,916 --> 01:49:06,125
Oh, yes, sir. Your seat's down front.

the opening credits. Come on now.

Come on, man. My song.
1904

-I wanna see the movie.
-I don't know if we can see the movie--
1908
01:49:25,666 --> 01:49:28,625
Say, little man! You sure you old enough
to be up this late at night?
1909
01:49:28,708 --> 01:49:30,791
Oh, he just won't stop talkin' about you.
1910
01:49:30,875 --> 01:49:35,166
-He always doin' your shit.
-I love your rhymin', Rudy. It's so bad.
1911
01:49:35,250 --> 01:49:36,958
No, you the one's that bad.
1912
01:49:37,041 --> 01:49:40,458
I do your rhymin', just like Dolemite.
But then I make it about me.
1913
01:49:40,541 --> 01:49:42,708
Oh, really? Let me hear what you got, boy.
1914
01:49:43,666 --> 01:49:45,791
You heard about Dolemite
and the Titanic.
1915
01:49:45,875 --> 01:49:48,666
There's a new kid around
finna be gi-gan-tic.

-Understand?
-Yes, sir.
1925

The film 'bout to start.
1926

Hey, Lady Reed. Why don't you go on

don't you agree?
