00:00:01,686 --> 00:00:03,252
-Woman (over radio): Okay?
-Man: All right.
2
00:00:03,354 --> 00:00:06,255
-Woman: Okay?
-Man: All right. (clears throat)
3
00:00:06,357 --> 00:00:07,790
-woman: You're listening...
-Man: Listening...
4
00:00:07,892 --> 00:00:09,425
Woman (echoing):
...To radiolab.
5
00:00:09,527 --> 00:00:11,260
-Man 2: Radiolab.
-Woman: From...
6
00:00:11,362 --> 00:00:13,028
-Man: Wnyc.
-Woman 2 (echoing): C.
7
00:00:13,130 --> 00:00:14,129
-Woman: C?
-Man: Yup.
-(woman 2 giggles)
8
00:00:14,231 --> 00:00:16,231
woman:
And npr.
9
00:00:17,668 --> 00:00:19,201
Jad abumrad: I've learned...
How would you describe this one?
10
00:00:19,303 --> 00:00:23,338
Robert krulwich: My sense is
that you walk into a wild place.
11
00:00:23,441 --> 00:00:25,441
Then you hear the wind
and the trees,
12
00:00:25,543 --> 00:00:28,844
and you hear these chirps
and sounds and calls,
13
00:00:28,946 --> 00:00:31,580
and they're just part of the...
They're part of the wild.
14
00:00:31,682 --> 00:00:35,617
They're wildlife, but there's
now a group of scientists
15
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,220
-who listen much more closely
-(muffled chatter)
16
00:00:38,322 --> 00:00:40,956
and who are reducing wildlife
to wild talk.
17
00:00:41,058 --> 00:00:42,958
-It's-it's, uh...
-Abumrad: Yeah.
18
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:45,127
Krulwich:
There are words in there.
19
00:00:45,229 --> 00:00:48,464
Abumrad:
When you find the words,
as the people we will meet do
20
00:00:48,566 --> 00:00:51,300
in these stories, you end up
not just understanding
21
00:00:51,402 --> 00:00:54,103
but actually entering that
wild space in a very cool way.
22
00:00:54,205 --> 00:00:55,604
-Krulwich: Right.
-Abumrad: Yes.
23
00:00:55,706 --> 00:00:56,905
Krulwich:
Or as a dolphin might say...
24
00:00:57,007 --> 00:00:57,940
Abumrad:
How would a dolphin say it?
25
00:00:58,042 --> 00:00:59,041
Krulwich:
I don't know.
26
00:00:59,143 --> 00:01:00,709
Abumrad:
Well, then, then you know what?
27
00:01:00,811 --> 00:01:02,778
That is exactly kind of the
question of this next segment.
28
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,446
I mean, the dream
that a human being
29
00:01:04,548 --> 00:01:06,281
can talk to a dolphin
or any animal...
30
00:01:06,383 --> 00:01:08,050
-Sorry?
-Your order.
31
00:01:08,152 --> 00:01:10,252
Sir, you can get back in line.
32
00:01:10,354 --> 00:01:12,254
Bae, whatever.
33
00:01:12,356 --> 00:01:13,989
It's all right.
You could go, or...
34
00:01:14,091 --> 00:01:16,191
Nah, it's whatever.
35
00:01:16,293 --> 00:01:18,427
Go ahead.
36
00:01:20,297 --> 00:01:21,697
Could I get a large coffee,
please?
37
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:23,165
Mm-hmm. Is that all?
38
00:01:23,267 --> 00:01:26,135
Yeah. Thanks.
39
00:01:30,074 --> 00:01:32,407

00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:41,350

in the distance)

00:02:24,094 --> 00:02:25,661
-(sighs)
-(door opens)
47
00:02:25,763 --> 00:02:27,963
katie, he's here.
48
00:02:28,065 --> 00:02:30,833
-She's coming.
-Great. Thanks.
49
00:02:34,672 --> 00:02:37,573
Are you using the, um,
50
00:02:37,675 --> 00:02:39,575
the standing lamp?
51
00:02:39,677 --> 00:02:42,377
The-the shaker beige one
in the guest room?
52
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:44,246
No, not really.
53
00:02:44,348 --> 00:02:46,682
Uh, any chance
I could borrow it?
54
00:02:46,784 --> 00:02:49,384
I-I could use a little bit
more light in my place, and...
55
00:02:49,486 --> 00:02:52,554
-Hey, dad.
-Hey, kiddo.
56
00:02:52,656 --> 00:02:55,390
All right.
I'll-I'll just grab it later?
57
00:02:55,492 --> 00:02:58,260
-Sure, that's fine.
-Okay.
58
00:02:58,362 --> 00:03:00,996
All right, let's do it.
How you doing?
59
00:03:01,098 --> 00:03:03,565
-Katie: I'm good.
-That's nice.
60
00:03:03,667 --> 00:03:05,367
Host (over radio):
...Substantially impact
racial matters
61
00:03:05,469 --> 00:03:07,436
-in modern day society.
-Guest: Well, yes.
62
00:03:07,538 --> 00:03:09,504
In the case of the tesla trial,
63
00:03:09,607 --> 00:03:12,007
you have a black man suing
josh beckford,
64
00:03:12,109 --> 00:03:14,810
an early investor at tesla,
due to the fact
65
00:03:14,912 --> 00:03:16,879
that his ancestors were enslaved
66
00:03:16,981 --> 00:03:18,881
by relatives of mr. Beckford's.
67
00:03:18,983 --> 00:03:21,583
That human capital and profit
can be directly linked
68
00:03:21,685 --> 00:03:23,385
to the financials
of the company,
69
00:03:23,487 --> 00:03:26,655
so I do think there's merit,
and he could win the lawsuit.
70
00:03:26,757 --> 00:03:28,390
Host:
Not could win. Did win.
71
00:03:28,492 --> 00:03:30,392
Mr. Mbaye did win the lawsuit,
72
00:03:30,494 --> 00:03:33,729
a scenario that seemed
impossible to many beforehand.
73
00:03:33,831 --> 00:03:35,931
And you have to think
this decision will have
74
00:03:36,033 --> 00:03:38,300
very far-reaching consequences
all around the world...
75
00:03:38,402 --> 00:03:39,868
-Dad?
-Especially in america due...
76
00:03:39,970 --> 00:03:41,436
Yeah, sweetie?
77
00:03:41,538 --> 00:03:43,772
Mom sprayed herself
with that flower perfume
78
00:03:43,874 --> 00:03:45,474
before you picked me up.
79
00:03:48,512 --> 00:03:50,579
I think she wants you
to come home.
80
00:03:51,782 --> 00:03:54,416
Did she say that?
81
00:03:55,419 --> 00:03:58,220
No. I just think so.
82
00:04:01,926 --> 00:04:04,526
Okay. Got it.
83
00:04:07,197 --> 00:04:09,231
(children shouting, laughing)
84
00:04:15,372 --> 00:04:17,973
all right, have a good day
at school, sweetie.
85
00:04:18,075 --> 00:04:20,809
(car radio playing)
86
00:04:20,911 --> 00:04:22,878
host (over radio):
The marvin gaye
versus robin thicke...
87
00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:24,546
Katie:
Hey, dad?
88
00:04:24,648 --> 00:04:26,014
Yeah.
89
00:04:26,116 --> 00:04:29,384
Can you stay over
at mom's soon?
90
00:04:30,421 --> 00:04:34,323
You know what?
I'll talk to her about it.
91
00:04:34,425 --> 00:04:38,427
(indistinct chatter on radio)
92
00:04:38,529 --> 00:04:41,697
host:
Don't you think this might
actually heighten tensions
93
00:04:41,799 --> 00:04:43,365
between black and white people?
94
00:04:43,467 --> 00:04:47,469
-It feels divisive...
-(phone buzzing)
95
00:04:47,571 --> 00:04:50,005
guest:
The tesla investor
was the owner
96
00:04:50,107 --> 00:04:51,673
of this black man's ancestor.
97
00:04:51,775 --> 00:04:53,542
So, also the owner
of that man's future.
98
00:04:53,644 --> 00:04:56,244
You're right. It's-it's never
gonna be solved easily.
99
00:04:56,347 --> 00:04:58,447
(whistle blowing)
100
00:05:18,235 --> 00:05:20,335
(doors lock, car beeps)
101
00:05:28,178 --> 00:05:29,878
(elevator bell dings)
102
00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:32,948
(scoffs)
can you believe this guy?
103
00:05:33,050 --> 00:05:35,283
Now this tesla exec owes him
a ton of money.
104
00:05:35,386 --> 00:05:38,854
He'll be set for life.
105
00:05:41,792 --> 00:05:43,525
(sighs)
106
00:05:43,627 --> 00:05:45,694
this whole thing is crazy.
107
00:05:48,599 --> 00:05:51,700
Do you even care? It's unfair.
108
00:05:51,802 --> 00:05:54,036
(chuckles softly)
uh, whatever.
109
00:05:54,138 --> 00:05:56,538
I mean, it's not like he's even
gonna notice. He's rich.
110
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,740
(elevator bell dings)
111
00:06:01,779 --> 00:06:03,478
we're meeting.
112
00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:06,181
Uh, what for?
113
00:06:13,657 --> 00:06:15,757
Come on in.
114
00:06:15,859 --> 00:06:18,060
All right, I think
that's everybody.
115
00:06:18,162 --> 00:06:20,729
As some of you might have heard,
116
00:06:20,831 --> 00:06:24,132
I did get word from the ceo
and head executives
117
00:06:24,234 --> 00:06:26,134
that we'll be having
some layoffs.
118
00:06:26,236 --> 00:06:27,803
(group murmuring)
119
00:06:27,905 --> 00:06:29,871
greg:
How soon?
120
00:06:29,973 --> 00:06:31,540
We'll get into that later today.
121
00:06:31,642 --> 00:06:33,475
I've been told that hr will...
122
00:06:33,577 --> 00:06:34,643
Woman:
This is ridiculous!
123
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:37,913
(woman clears throat)
124
00:06:38,015 --> 00:06:41,016
now, I know a lot of you
will have many questions,
125
00:06:41,118 --> 00:06:43,452
and we want to be sure
and answer all of 'em,
126
00:06:43,554 --> 00:06:45,687
but at this point in time,
that's all
127
00:06:45,789 --> 00:06:47,722
the information I have.
128
00:06:47,825 --> 00:06:49,858
(group murmuring)
129
00:06:52,029 --> 00:06:53,728
(inhales deeply)
130
00:06:53,831 --> 00:06:55,864
(pen clicking)
131
00:07:02,739 --> 00:07:05,273
paula:
There's a rumor they're being
sued with the same clause
132
00:07:05,375 --> 00:07:07,309
that got the tesla guy.
133
00:07:07,411 --> 00:07:09,010
This shit's bonkers, right?
134
00:07:10,514 --> 00:07:12,414
Bonkers.
135
00:07:12,516 --> 00:07:14,916
Well, and it's cleared the way
for personal litigation now.
136
00:07:15,018 --> 00:07:17,285
They can just look you up
and force you to pay.
137
00:07:18,322 --> 00:07:20,388
(laughing):
What? No.
138
00:07:20,491 --> 00:07:22,357
-Really?
-Yeah.
139
00:07:22,459 --> 00:07:25,494
It's scary. I'm looking
at my family tree right now
140
00:07:25,596 --> 00:07:26,928
to make sure I'm in the clear.
141
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,064
Everybody else is, too.
142
00:07:34,805 --> 00:07:37,172
-(indistinct chatter)
-paula: Lucky them.
143
00:07:37,274 --> 00:07:40,842
Not a care in the world.
144
00:07:40,944 --> 00:07:43,078
Aren't you worried?
145
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:47,249
Nah. I don't yell "fire"
unless I see flames.
146
00:07:47,351 --> 00:07:48,683
There's no smoke on my end.
147
00:07:48,785 --> 00:07:50,819
(phone buzzing)
148
00:07:53,824 --> 00:07:56,024
paula:
You gonna check your background?
149
00:07:56,126 --> 00:07:58,193
Nah. I never signed up
for that stuff.
150
00:07:58,295 --> 00:08:00,195
Paula:
Oh, you don't have to.
151
00:08:00,297 --> 00:08:01,863
One of your relatives
could have signed up.
152
00:08:01,965 --> 00:08:03,865
I can show you how to look.
153
00:08:03,967 --> 00:08:06,301
(laughs)
I'm fine.
154
00:08:06,403 --> 00:08:10,972
All... Good.
155
00:08:11,074 --> 00:08:13,108
(woman sobbing)
156
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,321
(sobbing continues)
157
00:08:35,532 --> 00:08:37,199
woman (over radio):
Mm, shout-out to his lawyer.
158
00:08:37,301 --> 00:08:39,601
-This is crazy, right?
-Man: It's crazy.
159
00:08:39,703 --> 00:08:42,037
He's got to put his money
where his mouth is now.
160
00:08:42,139 --> 00:08:43,672
-(cash register dings)
-so what you gonna do
161
00:08:43,774 --> 00:08:45,574
-with your apolo-cheese?
-Woman: Oh.
162
00:08:45,676 --> 00:08:48,376
Man:
No more apologies,
just apolo-cheese.
163
00:08:48,478 --> 00:08:51,046
Woman:
Apolo-cheese! I like that.
164
00:08:51,148 --> 00:08:55,050
I'm gonna hit the mall and spend
some of this apolo-cheese!
165
00:08:55,152 --> 00:08:58,520
Man:
Yeah. Uh, you better get
some nike stock, though, right?
166
00:08:58,622 --> 00:09:01,356
Woman:
Okay? I'm about to go hire
that same lawyer.
167
00:09:01,458 --> 00:09:03,892
I'm sure somebody owes me
about $50 million.
168
00:09:03,994 --> 00:09:05,527
-(laughs)
-man: Mm-hmm, this is se...
169
00:09:05,629 --> 00:09:06,995
(turns off radio)
170
00:09:10,667 --> 00:09:14,035
(sighs)
171
00:09:15,973 --> 00:09:18,240
you got a lot of homework today?
172
00:09:18,342 --> 00:09:20,842
No, not too much.
173
00:09:20,944 --> 00:09:22,978
Well, that's good.
174
00:09:24,681 --> 00:09:26,581
You tired?
175
00:09:26,683 --> 00:09:29,084
No, not really.
176
00:09:34,191 --> 00:09:37,392
I'm thinking spaghetti
for dinner tonight.
177
00:09:37,494 --> 00:09:39,628
Huh? Maybe a little
of my famous garlic bread?
178
00:09:39,730 --> 00:09:41,162
Are we racist?
179
00:09:41,265 --> 00:09:43,598
What?
180
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:45,800
A kid at school said
we're racist.
181
00:09:45,902 --> 00:09:48,503
(laughs)
182
00:09:48,605 --> 00:09:52,907
that's not true, katie.
That's...
183
00:09:53,010 --> 00:09:55,844
(sighs)
184
00:09:55,946 --> 00:10:01,249
right now,
black people are just... (sighs)
185
00:10:01,351 --> 00:10:04,152
don't listen to that kid
at school, okay?
186
00:10:04,254 --> 00:10:06,354
You are not racist.
187
00:10:08,558 --> 00:10:10,458
Were we slave owners?
188
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:12,994
(laughs)
189
00:10:13,096 --> 00:10:16,264
no, we... Do you see any slaves
in our backyard?
190
00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:18,300
Mr. Pedro.
191
00:10:18,402 --> 00:10:21,102
Mr. Pe...?
No, I pay mr. Pedro.
192
00:10:22,406 --> 00:10:24,105
You... (sighs)
193
00:10:24,207 --> 00:10:26,641
listen, that stuff happened
a long, long time ago.
194
00:10:26,743 --> 00:10:28,843
All right?
We-we're austro-hungarian.
195
00:10:28,945 --> 00:10:30,845
We were enslaved
during the byzantine empire.
196
00:10:30,947 --> 00:10:34,949
Uh, what? Should I fly
to hungary and demand money now?
197
00:10:35,052 --> 00:10:36,785
That would be ridiculous, right?
198
00:10:38,288 --> 00:10:40,622
(laughing):
Right?
199
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,593
(soft rock music playing
quietly)
200
00:10:50,167 --> 00:10:52,334
sweetie, dinner's ready.
201
00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:59,774
Hey.
202
00:10:59,876 --> 00:11:02,444
All right. Let's do it.
203
00:11:02,546 --> 00:11:04,145
Want cheese?
204
00:11:04,247 --> 00:11:06,247
Tell me when to stop.
205
00:11:07,818 --> 00:11:09,484
(chuckles)
206
00:11:09,586 --> 00:11:11,286
mm-hmm.
207

208
00:11:15,492 --> 00:11:18,126
ugh.
209
00:11:18,228 --> 00:11:20,095
Dig in.
210
00:11:33,176 --> 00:11:35,844

Yes?
216
00:11:54,464 --> 00:11:57,031
You've been served.

00:12:01,471 --> 00:12:03,838
-I'm sorry. What is this about?
-(phone camera dings)
218
00:12:06,777 --> 00:12:10,211
my name is sheniqua johnson
of the st. Louis johnsons.
219
00:12:10,313 --> 00:12:13,214
Your family owned
my great-great-grandmother
220
00:12:13,316 --> 00:12:14,849
and father for 12 years.
221
00:12:14,951 --> 00:12:16,885
You owe me money.
222
00:12:17,888 --> 00:12:21,456
Uh... I... (chuckles)
223
00:12:21,558 --> 00:12:24,225
there... There-there must be
some kind of mistake.
224
00:12:24,327 --> 00:12:27,462
Uh, you know, can we just
talk about this outside?
225
00:12:27,564 --> 00:12:29,097
-Uh-uh. There ain't been
no mistake.
-Excuse me.
226
00:12:29,199 --> 00:12:30,632
-Ooh, look what we got here.
-Excuse me!
227
00:12:30,734 --> 00:12:32,434
-Katie: Who is it, dad?
-Uh, ma'am?
-Now, we got

00:12:32,536 --> 00:12:34,402
-one, two, three bedrooms.
-Uh...
229
00:12:34,504 --> 00:12:36,004
-Look at this bathroom.
-Uh, ma'am, could you...
Could you
230
00:12:36,106 --> 00:12:37,906
-please get out of my house?
-They got that good stuff

231
00:12:38,008 --> 00:12:39,574
-(laughs) oh.
-Excuse me!
232
00:12:39,676 --> 00:12:41,676
You know what?
You owe me about $3 million.
233
00:12:41,778 --> 00:12:44,312
Ma'am, hey, hey, hey,
hey, stop it!
234
00:12:44,414 --> 00:12:45,914
Get out of my house!
235
00:12:46,016 --> 00:12:48,082
Uh-uh. This is my house,
236
00:12:48,185 --> 00:12:49,984
and I'm livestreaming
the entire thing.
237
00:12:50,086 --> 00:12:52,454
I want what's owed
to me, marshall.
238
00:12:52,556 --> 00:12:54,489
You know what?
239
00:12:54,591 --> 00:12:56,925
-If you don't get out right now,
I'm calling the police.
-Hmm.
240
00:12:57,027 --> 00:12:59,761
-I'm calling the police
right now!
-You know what?
241
00:12:59,863 --> 00:13:01,796
Your family's got blood
on its hands.
242
00:13:01,898 --> 00:13:04,065
And don't bother
calling the police
243
00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:06,234
because I already been there.
244
00:13:08,238 --> 00:13:12,073
Ooh! Now,
jamal's gonna love this spot.
245
00:13:12,175 --> 00:13:14,976
And don't slam my door!
246
00:13:22,686 --> 00:13:23,718
Marshall:
Uh-oh.
247
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:26,621
Maybe...
248
00:13:26,723 --> 00:13:29,824
Don't tell your mother
about this.
249
00:13:44,407 --> 00:13:47,008
Okay, let's do it.
250
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:49,010
Here we go. Hold on. W-wait...
251
00:13:49,112 --> 00:13:51,012
Just wait for me.
252
00:13:51,114 --> 00:13:53,147
Okay.
253
00:13:54,251 --> 00:13:56,384
Okay. All right, come on.
254
00:13:56,486 --> 00:13:58,586
Let's do it.
255
00:13:58,688 --> 00:14:00,722
Let's go.
256
00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:11,766
(phones ringing)
257
00:14:14,971 --> 00:14:16,971
hey.
258
00:14:17,073 --> 00:14:19,641
-Where's...?
-All the black people?
259
00:14:19,743 --> 00:14:23,811
Besides willy and lester,
they didn't come in today.
260
00:14:28,285 --> 00:14:32,053
Did... Did you get
your results back?
261
00:14:32,155 --> 00:14:35,723
69% ashkenazi jew, baby.
262
00:14:35,825 --> 00:14:38,226
You're jew...?
Uh, you're jewish?
263
00:14:38,328 --> 00:14:40,228
The world can finally know.
264
00:14:40,330 --> 00:14:42,363
We were slaves, too.
265
00:14:45,168 --> 00:14:48,069
Austro-hungarians were slaves
as well.
266
00:14:49,072 --> 00:14:50,972
Come on, marshall.
267
00:14:51,074 --> 00:14:53,374
That was like
a million years ago.
268
00:14:55,478 --> 00:14:57,512
(phones ringing)
269
00:15:07,691 --> 00:15:09,724
(toilet flushing)
270
00:15:31,147 --> 00:15:33,181
(indistinct chatter)
271
00:15:34,718 --> 00:15:40,054
(quietly):
Hey, um, the guy, uh,
with the shirt, uh...?
272
00:15:41,558 --> 00:15:43,958
-(quietly): Oh,
tim in accounting?
-He... Yeah.
273
00:15:44,060 --> 00:15:48,329
Yeah, the, um,
black family suing him decided
274
00:15:48,431 --> 00:15:50,365
that they just wanted him
to acknowledge it,
275
00:15:50,467 --> 00:15:52,333
so he's got to wear that shirt
twice a week.
276
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:56,604
One of them has to be Sunday.
277
00:15:56,706 --> 00:15:58,172
I don't know. Personally,
278
00:15:58,274 --> 00:16:00,675
I-I think he got off
kind of easy.
279
00:16:01,678 --> 00:16:03,811
-(mutters)
-(feedback squeaks)
280
00:16:03,913 --> 00:16:05,813
sheniqua (over megaphone):
Marshall johnson,

00:16:05,915 --> 00:16:07,949

-No.
282
00:16:08,051 --> 00:16:10,585
-No.
-$3 million,
and you have to pay up.
283
00:16:10,687 --> 00:16:12,320
What do we want?
Compensation.
284
00:16:12,422 --> 00:16:15,923
-No.
-When do we want it? Now.
285
00:16:16,026 --> 00:16:18,159
Marshall johnson's
great-great-granddaddy enslaved
286
00:16:18,261 --> 00:16:22,630
my great-great-granddaddy, and
he owes me a lifetime of pay!
287
00:16:22,732 --> 00:16:24,499
-No.
-(sheniqua speaking
indistinctly)
288
00:16:24,601 --> 00:16:27,935
no, no, no, no. No. No. No. No.
289
00:16:28,038 --> 00:16:29,370
Pay up!
290
00:16:29,472 --> 00:16:31,372
-Marshall johnson.
-(door opens)
291
00:16:31,474 --> 00:16:33,508
-hey, excuse me.
-Paging marshall johnson.
292
00:16:33,610 --> 00:16:35,476
-Hey, excuse me. Excuse me.
-Marshall.
293
00:16:35,578 --> 00:16:37,111
All right, all right,
listen, I work here.
294
00:16:37,213 --> 00:16:38,946
All right? You can't come
to my place of work.
295
00:16:39,049 --> 00:16:40,982
Marshall johnson,
you owe me money.
296
00:16:41,084 --> 00:16:43,017
I-I'm not the tesla guy.
297
00:16:43,119 --> 00:16:45,053
Okay? I don't have
that kind of money.
298
00:16:45,155 --> 00:16:47,021
How much money
do you make a year?
299
00:16:47,123 --> 00:16:48,523
What? Uh...
300
00:16:48,625 --> 00:16:50,158
-(feedback squeaks)
-how much money
301
00:16:50,260 --> 00:16:53,327
do you people in there
make a year?
302
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:56,030
-I bet you it's more than I do.
-Could you please--
303
00:16:56,132 --> 00:16:59,934
I'm begging you-- could you
please just leave me alone?
304
00:17:00,036 --> 00:17:04,706
(chuckles) that's exactly what
my great-great-grandmother said.
305
00:17:04,808 --> 00:17:07,075
-(feedback squeaks)
-marshall johnson's
great-great-granddaddy
306
00:17:07,177 --> 00:17:09,410
-was a slave owner.
-No, no, no. Not true.
307
00:17:09,512 --> 00:17:12,647
He owned
my great-great-granddaddy.
308
00:17:12,749 --> 00:17:14,515
-Not true.
-You need to pay up!
309
00:17:14,617 --> 00:17:19,687
$3 million.
$3 million.
310
00:17:19,789 --> 00:17:22,156
What do we want? Compensation!
311
00:17:22,258 --> 00:17:24,225
When do we want it? Now!
312
00:17:24,327 --> 00:17:26,861
Marshall johnson's
great-great-granddaddy
313
00:17:26,963 --> 00:17:29,163
enslaved
my great-great-granddaddy...
314
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:34,502
(laughs)
get me a new car,
get sierra a new car.
315
00:17:34,604 --> 00:17:35,903
You gonna get a cadillac
or one of them, uh,
316
00:17:36,005 --> 00:17:38,106
-those cybertrucks?
-(mutters): I don't know.
317
00:17:38,208 --> 00:17:40,174
You know,
jamal can get a new phone.
318
00:17:40,276 --> 00:17:42,877
Get tangy and sierra's mom
a new place,
319
00:17:42,979 --> 00:17:45,046
'cause lord knows I can't be
dealing with that anymore.
320
00:17:45,148 --> 00:17:48,249
-Her mama?
-(laughing): You already...
321
00:17:48,351 --> 00:17:50,418
-Hey, lester?
-(laughing)
322
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,887
could I... Could I talk
to you for a sec?
323
00:17:55,425 --> 00:17:56,958
-(laughing)
-yeah. What's up?
324
00:17:57,060 --> 00:17:58,960
Hey, man. How you doing?
325
00:17:59,062 --> 00:18:00,428
-Pretty good.
-Ain't no such thing
326
00:18:00,530 --> 00:18:02,497
as free labor, marshall.
327
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:05,933
Pay up!
328
00:18:06,035 --> 00:18:08,402
Uh... Look,
329
00:18:08,505 --> 00:18:11,472
I know this is a crazy time
and everything,
330
00:18:11,574 --> 00:18:14,375
and, uh, I-I really don't
know what to do.
331
00:18:14,477 --> 00:18:17,211
Uh, no, thanks. Thank you.
332
00:18:17,313 --> 00:18:20,748
Um, I'm just a guy,
333
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:22,784
you know, trying to get by.
334
00:18:22,886 --> 00:18:28,422
And I feel like this woman
is harassing me, you know?
335
00:18:28,525 --> 00:18:30,424
She's kind of ruining my life.
336
00:18:30,527 --> 00:18:32,426
Uh, so...
337
00:18:32,529 --> 00:18:36,130
I-I just don't know what to do.
338
00:18:36,232 --> 00:18:38,733
You honestly want my advice?
339
00:18:38,835 --> 00:18:40,735
Uh, yes.
340
00:18:40,837 --> 00:18:43,571
Look, man,
I grew up with black women.
341
00:18:43,673 --> 00:18:45,306
Right. I figured.
342
00:18:45,408 --> 00:18:47,809
The only thing you can do is
say you were wrong
343
00:18:47,911 --> 00:18:49,811
and give her as much money
as you can.
344
00:18:49,913 --> 00:18:52,446
She'll probably want to meet
with you one-on-one,
345
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:53,981
