1
00:01:28,639 --> 00:01:30,390
Wake up, God damn it!

2
00:01:31,767 --> 00:01:33,727
I know it's hard.

3
00:01:33,769 --> 00:01:37,772
Your eyes is burning,
slowly opening.

4
00:01:37,856 --> 00:01:41,192
You slowly realizing
that this wasn't no dream.

5
00:01:41,275 --> 00:01:43,194
No, this is your life.

6
00:02:29,903 --> 00:02:34,157
Yeah, right about now
you're looking at them
cold walls that surround you,

7
00:02:34,241 --> 00:02:37,619
and you wondering,
"How the hell did I get up
in this joint, Jack?

8
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:40,288
"And how the fuck
I'm gonna get out?"

9
00:02:55,218 --> 00:02:56,970
(BUZZING)

10
00:03:01,307 --> 00:03:04,560
But you know what they say:
"It's like life, y'all.

11
00:03:04,644 --> 00:03:07,271
PETEY ON P. A... :
"Ain't no way to it,
but to do it. "

12
00:03:08,564 --> 00:03:12,442
So reach on up there
and scratch another day
off the wall, man.

13
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,361
But don't be whining.

14
00:03:14,402 --> 00:03:15,528
Uh-uh.

15
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:17,989
Ain't gonna be no signal fire.

16
00:03:18,072 --> 00:03:19,699
Just take a stand.

17
00:03:19,782 --> 00:03:21,451
Be a man.
It's good to see you, man.

18
00:03:21,534 --> 00:03:23,828
And try to understand.
Hey, listen, man. Listen.

19
00:03:23,911 --> 00:03:25,871
You ain't in here
'cause of the master's plan.

20
00:03:25,913 --> 00:03:28,207
No, you in here
'cause you fucked up!

21
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,878
Look, this is the nigga
that I've been writing
you about. You dig?

22
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,089
Yo, I was reading my court
papers the other day, y'all.

23
00:03:36,172 --> 00:03:41,594
They say, "Ralph Waldo
'Petey' Greene versus
the United States of America."

24
00:03:41,636 --> 00:03:45,097
I say, "Goddamn!
No wonder I'm up
in this motherfucker!"

25
00:03:46,432 --> 00:03:49,685
So I'm gonna dedicate
this next one to my baby.

26
00:03:50,602 --> 00:03:54,231
Man, she gonna be up here
in a minute, and this gal,
Lord have mercy,

27
00:03:54,314 --> 00:03:56,107
she's fine as frogs, yeah.

28
00:03:56,191 --> 00:04:00,028
So while this is playing,
I want y'all to think about
the one y'all love.

29
00:04:00,111 --> 00:04:02,113
And I'm talking about the one
sends you them pictures, man,

30
00:04:02,196 --> 00:04:04,448
not the cat in the next bunk.

31
00:04:05,408 --> 00:04:07,952
I guess you're pretty hard up
for entertainment around here.

32
00:04:08,035 --> 00:04:10,078
Yeah, man. This is prison.

33
00:04:10,162 --> 00:04:12,956
Whatever gets you through
twenty-to-life.

34
00:04:17,252 --> 00:04:18,878
I got a meeting.

35
00:04:20,129 --> 00:04:21,339
You...

36
00:04:24,508 --> 00:04:26,802
You need anything?
I don't need shit.

37
00:04:26,886 --> 00:04:28,012
Okay.

38
00:04:29,179 --> 00:04:32,015
Let me ask you something.
Why do you even bother?

39
00:04:32,099 --> 00:04:34,101
Because I promised Mama.

40
00:04:37,353 --> 00:04:39,647
Don't do me no fucking favors.

41
00:04:58,373 --> 00:05:00,333
(BUZZING)

42
00:05:04,045 --> 00:05:05,629
Hello, Vernell.

43
00:05:10,717 --> 00:05:12,594
That's the booty line.

44
00:05:13,553 --> 00:05:14,513
Conjugal visits.

45
00:05:16,723 --> 00:05:18,850
(VERNELL EXCLAIMING)

46
00:05:24,563 --> 00:05:27,775
Hay. Hey, Radio man! Hey!

47
00:05:29,401 --> 00:05:31,528
So Milo been telling you
about me, huh?

48
00:05:31,570 --> 00:05:32,696
What?

49
00:05:33,071 --> 00:05:35,156
Milo. Your brother?

50
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,076
Said y'all need a new DJ
at that radio station.

51
00:05:38,451 --> 00:05:39,702
Hey, I'm your man.

52
00:05:39,786 --> 00:05:41,704
My brother wouldn't know.

53
00:05:41,746 --> 00:05:44,915
And in case you forgot,
you're in prison.

54
00:05:45,207 --> 00:05:46,333
It's a minor challenge.

55
00:05:46,417 --> 00:05:47,960
You're a miscreant.

56
00:05:48,752 --> 00:05:51,004
That's more than
a minor challenge.

57
00:05:51,088 --> 00:05:53,048
The fuck this nigga call me?
A Miss who?

58
00:05:53,090 --> 00:05:54,591
A miscreant.

59
00:05:54,758 --> 00:05:56,134
A convict.

60
00:05:56,676 --> 00:05:58,136
(LAUGHING)

61
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,889
Listen to this nigga!
I'm a miscreant!

62
00:06:01,931 --> 00:06:03,975
Well, you know what?
I like that shit!

63
00:06:04,058 --> 00:06:06,435
'Cause that makes me sound
like a con with class.

64
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:09,229
Hey, Ralph Waldo
"Petey" Greene,

65
00:06:09,313 --> 00:06:10,939
miscreant mack
at your service.

66
00:06:10,981 --> 00:06:13,442
You forgot "felon."

67
00:06:13,734 --> 00:06:14,985
"Lowlife."

68
00:06:15,986 --> 00:06:18,571
So do that mean
I got a job or what?

69
00:06:18,655 --> 00:06:21,032
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!

70
00:06:21,657 --> 00:06:24,160
I need you to do me a favor,
sugar. Okay?

71
00:06:24,201 --> 00:06:27,121
I need you to go home
and take this

72
00:06:27,162 --> 00:06:29,915
right on down to Nighthawk

73
00:06:30,749 --> 00:06:31,875
Here.

74
00:06:32,668 --> 00:06:33,794
Here!

75
00:06:33,877 --> 00:06:35,587
Come on, take it!

76
00:06:36,212 --> 00:06:37,213
Here!

77
00:06:38,256 --> 00:06:39,799
Ain't no padding in there,
sweetie.

78
00:06:39,882 --> 00:06:42,009
You tell him
it's all me, okay?

79
00:06:42,093 --> 00:06:43,386
PETEY: Vernell.

80
00:06:44,095 --> 00:06:46,305
What?
You don't get your ass
in that room...

81
00:06:46,347 --> 00:06:47,640
Oh, shut up.
It's just a bra.

82
00:06:47,723 --> 00:06:49,475
Hey, radio man!

83
00:06:49,516 --> 00:06:50,559
You better come on!

84
00:06:50,642 --> 00:06:52,352
I'm gonna look you up
when I get out of here, man.

85
00:06:52,436 --> 00:06:54,104
Yeah?
How many years you pulling?

86
00:06:54,187 --> 00:06:55,230
Five to ten.

87
00:06:55,313 --> 00:06:57,899
Nickel to a dime.
It ain't shit, baby.

88
00:06:57,982 --> 00:06:59,150
You do that.

89
00:06:59,192 --> 00:07:02,487
I'm the best there is, baby.
I'm the greatest!

90
00:07:02,528 --> 00:07:05,114
I'm the greatest
of all time, baby!

91
00:07:07,366 --> 00:07:09,618
NIGHTHAWK: This is
The Nighthawk Show,

92
00:07:09,701 --> 00:07:14,122
doing it for all those
fine young things
down at Howard University.

93
00:07:14,539 --> 00:07:17,709
The Love Hawk
with you all night,

94
00:07:17,792 --> 00:07:20,670
rocking your radio
in the nation's capital.

95
00:07:21,295 --> 00:07:26,091
It's 5:10 on the
Sounds of Soul, the big O-L.

96
00:07:26,175 --> 00:07:28,677
We keep losing ground to WOOK.

97
00:07:29,386 --> 00:07:32,764
We can make up the lost ground
on OK, sir. I mean,
we have a very exciting slate.

98
00:07:32,848 --> 00:07:35,058
Great music, talk...
Sounds good,
but it's not working.

99
00:07:35,141 --> 00:07:36,643
What's the problem?

100
00:07:36,726 --> 00:07:38,770
The problem is we've lost
touch with the real DC

101
00:07:38,853 --> 00:07:41,439
in our attempts
to win over the Beltway.

102
00:07:41,522 --> 00:07:43,608
This has always been
a station of the people

103
00:07:43,691 --> 00:07:46,068
and in case you forgot,
most of the people
don't live in Georgetown.

104
00:07:46,110 --> 00:07:47,736
Yeah, but the people who live
in Georgetown

105
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:50,322
do shop at Giant Foods
and Woody's.

106
00:07:50,405 --> 00:07:51,782
Sponsors that pay your salary.

107
00:07:51,865 --> 00:07:55,243
No. I pay his salary,
and yours.

108
00:07:56,703 --> 00:07:59,747
Maybe I should start paying
your salary to him.

109
00:08:00,915 --> 00:08:03,125
Sir, I think...
I'm serious.

110
00:08:03,501 --> 00:08:05,419
What do you say, Dewey?

111
00:08:05,836 --> 00:08:08,422
You think
you can turn us around?

112
00:08:08,922 --> 00:08:10,716
Yes sir, I do.
Good.

113
00:08:11,550 --> 00:08:13,301
Let's give it a try.

114
00:08:16,054 --> 00:08:17,430
Good afternoon, gentlemen.

115
00:08:17,514 --> 00:08:20,600
MAN: Sir, I just need
a minute of your time, please.

116
00:08:20,892 --> 00:08:24,895
PETEY. : Hey, y'all, guess what?
I found out today
I ain't a con, y'all.

117
00:08:24,979 --> 00:08:26,272
For real.

118
00:08:26,647 --> 00:08:31,276
I am not a con,
or a felon, or a thug.

119
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,613
No. I am a miscreant.

120
00:08:34,654 --> 00:08:35,947
(LAUGHS)

121
00:08:35,989 --> 00:08:37,615
Now, y'all know what that is?
Good morning.

122
00:08:37,657 --> 00:08:41,327
That's a con, brother.
A felon, a thug.

123
00:08:42,495 --> 00:08:43,996
We ain't in prison.

124
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,957
No, this
a correctional facility.

125
00:08:46,999 --> 00:08:50,711
See, when you broke into
that car, or shot that nigga,

126
00:08:50,794 --> 00:08:53,505
it wasn't 'cause you
a wrong-doing
motherfucker, no.

127
00:08:53,839 --> 00:08:56,216
No, see,
you troubled, brother.

128
00:08:56,299 --> 00:08:58,218
You disenfranchised.

129
00:08:58,635 --> 00:09:02,805
ANNOUNCER. : The Tonight Show
Starring Johnny Carson.
And now...

130
00:09:02,847 --> 00:09:06,642
PETEY. : All this wordplay
so that we don't have
to face the truth.

131
00:09:07,434 --> 00:09:11,480
'Cause the truth is,
no matter how many ways
you try to slice it,

132
00:09:12,356 --> 00:09:13,690
I'm a con.

133

134
00:09:18,611 --> 00:09:20,363

00:09:31,206 --> 00:09:32,207
You got that little dick?

Hey, Warden! You got a little,
itty-bitty dick! That's right!
That's you, Warden!

142
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:45,428
Shoot him.
Sir?

143
00:09:45,511 --> 00:09:47,304
Right between the eyes.

144
00:09:47,388 --> 00:09:49,932
I don't know
if we can do that, legally.

145
00:09:50,015 --> 00:09:52,851
Technically,
he's not trying to escape.

146
00:09:52,934 --> 00:09:55,061
Well, where in hell
can I shoot him, then?
Listen here!

147
00:09:55,145 --> 00:09:58,690
I want Petey Greene!

148
00:09:58,773 --> 00:10:00,692
You hear me, Warden?

149
00:10:00,775 --> 00:10:04,278
I want you to get Petey Greene
out here, right now.

150
00:10:05,613 --> 00:10:08,240
Petey! Petey! Petey!
Petey! Petey! Petey!

151
00:10:08,282 --> 00:10:10,075
POOCHIE: What's he gonna do?

152
00:10:10,951 --> 00:10:12,077
Where Petey at?

153
00:10:12,119 --> 00:10:14,287
Oh, yo, Petey!

155
00:10:16,706 --> 00:10:19,459
Yeah. Look,
you got a little dick!

156
00:10:19,959 --> 00:10:23,087
Warden! Your dick, Warden!

157
00:10:24,588 --> 00:10:27,091
Look like you got
quite a situation here, sir.

158
00:10:27,132 --> 00:10:29,051
Yes, Mr. Greene, I do.

159
00:10:30,302 --> 00:10:32,971
(SINGING) Warden's got
a little dick!

160
00:10:33,055 --> 00:10:34,806
Can you do anything?

161
00:10:35,807 --> 00:10:38,143
I don't know, sir.

162
00:10:38,184 --> 00:10:41,479
I mean, what you got
in your boxers is God's doing.

163
00:10:43,522 --> 00:10:46,859
Sorry, Warden, you kind of
walked right into that one.

164
00:10:46,942 --> 00:10:50,112
Poochie! Nigga, what the hell
are you doing up there, man?

165
00:10:51,572 --> 00:10:53,990
Yeah! Warden's got
a little dick!

166
00:10:54,074 --> 00:10:56,159
Now look here, Warden.
Poochie crazy.

167
00:10:56,242 --> 00:10:58,661
He's a good kid,
but he got all fucked up
on that narcotic.

168
00:10:58,703 --> 00:11:01,122
Come on, Warden,
what you got?
I can get him down.

169
00:11:01,164 --> 00:11:02,874
Got that little dick!
I can even shut him up.

170
00:11:02,957 --> 00:11:04,667

is it took me six months
to talk that crazy nigga
up there in the first place!

508
00:29:19,254 --> 00:29:21,255
Let me ask you something.

509
00:29:23,007 --> 00:29:24,425
Why?

510
00:29:24,842 --> 00:29:28,887
Why you want to be on
the radio so bad that you're
gonna go through all this?

511
00:29:28,971 --> 00:29:32,683
Oh, man, it's what I do, man.
It's my thing, you know?

512
00:29:32,766 --> 00:29:36,186
I started off making
them daily announcements
back at Lorton

513
00:29:36,269 --> 00:29:40,148
as part of the work program,
you know?
A reward for good behavior.

514
00:29:40,732 --> 00:29:43,150
Couple years later,
I convinced them
to let me play this record

515
00:29:43,192 --> 00:29:46,612
that my Aunt Pig had sent me,
a Sam Cooke record, man,
A Change Is Gonna Come.

516
00:29:47,404 --> 00:29:48,530
That's an incredible song.

517
00:29:48,614 --> 00:29:52,576
She sent me that record,
you know, to try and give me
a little hope,

518
00:29:52,659 --> 00:29:54,494
and I wanted to play it
for the men in them cells,

519
00:29:54,536 --> 00:29:56,329
you know, give them some hope.

520
00:29:56,413 --> 00:29:58,456
And I'm telling you, man,

521
00:29:58,665 --> 00:30:03,377
it's the only thing that kept
me from going stone-crazy
behind them walls, man.

522
00:30:03,878 --> 00:30:06,130
And now that I'm out,
I still need that.

523
00:30:06,213 --> 00:30:09,007
Why should I put
my ass on the line
to give you a shot, Petey?

524
00:30:09,049 --> 00:30:12,219
Nigga...
'Cause Petey Greene is
the real deal, Jack!

525
00:30:12,302 --> 00:30:17,390
Shit! I swear to God,
I mean, he is the sho'nuff,
I mean, pimp...

526
00:30:19,225 --> 00:30:20,852
Sorry.
It's okay.

527
00:30:20,893 --> 00:30:24,021
See, what this pretty lady
is trying to tell you is that,

528
00:30:24,105 --> 00:30:26,398
man, being a DJ, that's
the only thing I'm good at

529
00:30:26,482 --> 00:30:29,026
that don't involve me
breaking no law.

530
00:30:30,068 --> 00:30:33,196
And shit, since you here
sharing a drink,

531
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,117
I'm gonna assume
that you need a man
of my particular talents.

532
00:30:39,494 --> 00:30:41,037
Three rules.

533
00:30:42,121 --> 00:30:43,331
One,

534
00:30:43,914 --> 00:30:46,292
always know
more than your audience.

535
00:30:46,375 --> 00:30:49,044
Two, you talk shit,
you back it up.

536
00:30:49,086 --> 00:30:51,088
And three, don't you ever,

537
00:30:52,255 --> 00:30:53,381
never, ever,

538
00:30:53,465 --> 00:30:55,383
underestimate me again.

539
00:30:55,925 --> 00:30:57,552
What are you talking about,
man?

540
00:30:57,635 --> 00:31:01,431
I'm gonna give you
one more chance
to knock in that nine ball.

541
00:31:01,514 --> 00:31:06,185
Tomorrow morning, 9:00 a.m.,
WOL, Studio One. Be on time.

542
00:31:07,853 --> 00:31:09,188
Be sober.

543
00:31:09,938 --> 00:31:11,148
And definitely

544
00:31:12,607 --> 00:31:14,192
be by yourself.

545
00:31:14,276 --> 00:31:15,360
(STAMMERING)

546
00:31:15,443 --> 00:31:17,779
You my kind of nigga, Hughes!

547
00:31:17,862 --> 00:31:19,572
You my kind of motherfucker,
Hughes!

548
00:31:19,614 --> 00:31:22,200
We love you!
We love you!

549
00:31:22,283 --> 00:31:23,618
Oh my God!

550
00:31:23,701 --> 00:31:25,703
(EXCLAIMING)

551
00:31:26,453 --> 00:31:28,580
We need to make
a personnel change.

552
00:31:28,664 --> 00:31:30,415
Really? Who?

553
00:31:30,499 --> 00:31:31,833
Sunny Jim.

554
00:31:32,626 --> 00:31:33,919
You're not serious.

555
00:31:34,002 --> 00:31:37,213
Sir, morning shows
are becoming more than
just a leisurely stroll.

556
00:31:37,297 --> 00:31:38,548
We have to compete here.

557
00:31:38,631 --> 00:31:40,466
WOOK is killing us
in the morning.

558
00:31:40,550 --> 00:31:43,302
But Sunny Jim is a DC icon!

559
00:31:43,386 --> 00:31:46,639
Everyone loves Sunny Jim.
He's so sunny.

560
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,057
No sir, you love Sunny Jim.

561
00:31:48,140 --> 00:31:50,934
Sunny Jim is a relic
of a bygone radio age.

562
00:31:51,018 --> 00:31:52,978
We don't play Nat "King" Cole
or The Drifters anymore.

563
00:31:53,061 --> 00:31:54,604
And our DJ's have
to reflect that.

564
00:31:54,688 --> 00:31:57,273
That's why we have Nighthawk
and Soul Papa.

565
00:31:57,357 --> 00:32:00,651
I'm not turning this into
some kind of teenybopper
American Bandstand.

566
00:32:00,693 --> 00:32:02,486
We're a respectable
R&B station.

567
00:32:02,528 --> 00:32:05,990
With all due respect, sir,
this is not
a respectable town.

568
00:32:06,031 --> 00:32:07,491
This is DC.

569
00:32:07,533 --> 00:32:08,909
You see them out
on the mall every day,

570
00:32:08,992 --> 00:32:11,453
protesting the so-called
respectable establishment.

571
00:32:11,536 --> 00:32:15,123
We can't become
the establishment,
or they'll turn on us.

572
00:32:22,171 --> 00:32:23,339
Who do you have in mind?

573
00:32:23,381 --> 00:32:25,966
Well, sir, I found a DJ
from an out-of-town station.

574
00:32:26,050 --> 00:32:28,344
He has a major following,

575
00:32:28,385 --> 00:32:31,972
and he's recently
been released

576
00:32:32,055 --> 00:32:33,723
from his contract.

577
00:32:38,895 --> 00:32:42,148
Jim, come back here, please.
It's nothing personal.

578
00:32:43,357 --> 00:32:45,526
Oh, shit! I'm sorry...

579
00:32:45,568 --> 00:32:47,194
Watch where the hell
you're going!

580
00:32:47,278 --> 00:32:48,737
All right, man.

581
00:32:49,738 --> 00:32:51,865
Oh, no.
PETEY: Hey, sugar!

582
00:32:51,948 --> 00:32:54,034
You know the drill.
Call your man.

583
00:32:54,117 --> 00:32:55,493
I don't think so.

584
00:32:55,577 --> 00:32:56,995
Let me ask you something.

585
00:32:57,078 --> 00:32:58,746
You ever had anybody
eat your pussy?

586
00:32:58,830 --> 00:33:00,081
Mr. Sonderling!

587
00:33:02,416 --> 00:33:04,251
What's wrong, Freda?

588
00:33:04,752 --> 00:33:07,296
Oh, God.
Blue Blazes.
How the radio business?

589
00:33:07,379 --> 00:33:09,173
I put up with your
shenanigans out front

590
00:33:09,256 --> 00:33:10,924
for a week, Mr. Brown.
Greene.

591
00:33:10,966 --> 00:33:12,968
All right, Mr. Green,
what do you want now?

592
00:33:13,051 --> 00:33:14,594
I'm your DJ, man!

593
00:33:14,678 --> 00:33:16,096
Freda, call the police.

594
00:33:16,137 --> 00:33:19,974
God damn! Y'all got
some hospitality issues
around this motherfucker!

595
00:33:20,058 --> 00:33:21,934
You're cutting it close.

596
00:33:21,976 --> 00:33:24,854
What can I say, man?
Had to get my vine together.

597
00:33:24,937 --> 00:33:26,272
Your vine?
Yeah.

598
00:33:26,355 --> 00:33:27,690
You're going on the...

599
00:33:27,773 --> 00:33:28,732
Fuck.

600
00:33:29,233 --> 00:33:30,776
Mr. Sonderling,

601
00:33:32,319 --> 00:33:34,529
this is our new morning DJ.

602
00:33:40,576 --> 00:33:41,786
I've been hoodwinked!

603
00:33:42,954 --> 00:33:43,954
Come on.

604
00:33:44,038 --> 00:33:48,459
You are out of your mind
if you think I'm gonna put
this person on the air.

605
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:49,751
Sir, I know
this is unorthodox...

606
00:33:49,835 --> 00:33:51,336
Unorthodox? It's insane!

607
00:33:51,420 --> 00:33:53,296
Sir, hear me out.
This man has a unique voice.

608
00:33:53,338 --> 00:33:55,590
I just have a feeling...
I have much more
than just a feeling.

609
00:33:55,674 --> 00:33:58,468
Sir, we need to put somebody
on the air in the next
two minutes or we go black.

610
00:33:58,510 --> 00:34:00,636
Black, black, black.

611
00:34:04,015 --> 00:34:06,308
Freda, run after Jim, he might
still be in the building!

612
00:34:06,350 --> 00:34:07,726
Sir, we don't have time.

613
00:34:07,810 --> 00:34:10,604
You're just gonna have
to trust me. One show.

614
00:34:11,521 --> 00:34:12,856
One shot.

615
00:34:15,358 --> 00:34:17,610
Our morning show's already
in the toilet.

616
00:34:17,694 --> 00:34:20,154
We don't have a thing to lose.
You don't have
a thing to lose!

617
00:34:20,238 --> 00:34:23,157
FREDA ON INTERCOM. :
Sir, it's one minute to air,
and Jim's gone.

618
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:25,201
Oh, for crying out loud.

619
00:34:25,785 --> 00:34:28,537
It's my own fault
for listening to you.

620
00:34:31,373 --> 00:34:33,834
All right, one show, one shot.

621
00:34:33,917 --> 00:34:36,211
I want you on air with him.
You can introduce him.

622
00:34:36,252 --> 00:34:38,421
I'll be watching and listening
to every word, young man.

623
00:34:38,504 --> 00:34:40,673
You watch your language
on the air.
Scout's honor.

624
00:34:40,715 --> 00:34:41,883
Okay.

625
00:34:42,466 --> 00:34:43,759
Let's go.

626
00:34:48,055 --> 00:34:49,348
You ready?
Yeah.

627
00:34:49,389 --> 00:34:54,811
Okay, remember,
always talk, no dead air.
Talk about your cat, your car,

628
00:34:54,895 --> 00:34:56,896
anything, but no dead space.

629
00:34:56,980 --> 00:34:58,022
And watch your language.

630
00:34:58,106 --> 00:35:02,401
Okay. Now, you're a man
of Washington, so speak
to Washington, okay?

631
00:35:02,485 --> 00:35:04,487
Connect to Washington. Okay?

632
00:35:04,570 --> 00:35:05,654
Yeah.

633
00:35:05,738 --> 00:35:07,615
You watch your language.
This is it, Ralphie.

634
00:35:07,698 --> 00:35:09,199
Okay.
Okay.

635
00:35:09,616 --> 00:35:11,201
We're coming in.
Okay.

636
00:35:11,285 --> 00:35:13,036
Let's do it.
Okay.

637
00:35:13,703 --> 00:35:15,580
Michael, get the door.

four, three, two, one...

639
00:35:23,587 --> 00:35:28,842
And hello, Washington.
Welcome to your new
Sound of Soul, WOL.

640
00:35:29,134 --> 00:35:31,637
I'm Dewey Hughes,
director of programming,

641
00:35:31,678 --> 00:35:35,390
here to announce that
Sunny Jim can now be heard
at the midnight hour,

642
00:35:35,473 --> 00:35:37,350
after The Nighthawk Show.

643
00:35:37,434 --> 00:35:40,895
Today I introduce to you
a new voice on the DC scene,

644
00:35:40,978 --> 00:35:45,024
a native of Washington,
a true son of the city,
and some may say,

645
00:35:45,107 --> 00:35:51,029
a prophet of the streets,
here to spin the tunes
that will blow your mind,

646
00:35:51,113 --> 00:35:54,032
Mr. Petey Greene.

647
00:36:00,163 --> 00:36:01,497
Say hello, Petey.

648
00:36:01,581 --> 00:36:03,249
Yeah, hello.

649
00:36:05,543 --> 00:36:08,128
Like the man say,
this is Petey Greene.

650
00:36:08,212 --> 00:36:11,673
And I'm here to spin
the tunes to get you
through your morning.

651
00:36:11,715 --> 00:36:13,008

652
00:36:13,383 --> 00:36:15,385
Your AM morning drive.

653
00:36:19,180 --> 00:36:22,642
But hell, maybe you ain't
driving. Maybe you're walking.

654
00:36:22,683 --> 00:36:26,312
Maybe... Maybe you at work
already, maybe riding a bike.

655
00:36:26,729 --> 00:36:28,856
But irregardless,

656
00:36:31,233 --> 00:36:33,860
I'm gonna play the music

657
00:36:34,653 --> 00:36:37,280
that's gonna keep you going,

658
00:36:37,989 --> 00:36:40,199
and I hope
I don't bore you with...

659
00:36:40,283 --> 00:36:41,617
(GAGS)

660
00:36:42,118 --> 00:36:43,786
With my rambling.

661
00:36:44,412 --> 00:36:46,997
Say the call letters.
The call letters, y'all.

662
00:36:52,127 --> 00:36:53,670
(FUNK MUSIC PLAYING)

663
00:36:57,507 --> 00:36:58,550
(VOMITING)

664
00:36:58,633 --> 00:37:01,594
What the fuck is going on?
You didn't come here drunk,
did you?

665
00:37:01,677 --> 00:37:03,095
Oh, shit.

666
00:37:03,596 --> 00:37:04,805
No, man.

667
00:37:06,223 --> 00:37:08,726
I ain't drunk.
It's nerves, man. I'm nervous.

668
00:37:08,809 --> 00:37:11,144
Nerves or not, you better
get your ass back in there.

669
00:37:11,228 --> 00:37:12,437
My ass is on the line!

670
00:37:12,521 --> 00:37:14,272
I don't wanna hear some
fucking Sunny Jim knock off.

671
00:37:14,356 --> 00:37:15,899
I want Petey Greene, damn it!

672
00:37:15,982 --> 00:37:18,443
Stop putting your goddamn
hands on me, man!

673
00:37:18,484 --> 00:37:19,569
I ain't no punk, fool.

674
00:37:19,652 --> 00:37:24,115
Well, stop acting like one
and get back in there

I was asked to be myself.

00:38:24,086 --> 00:38:26,297
So, who is Petey Greene?

683
00:38:26,380 --> 00:38:31,176
Well, I got
an eighth-grade education
with a Ph.D. From the streets.

684

I'm a recovering alcoholic,
been sober five hours.

685
00:38:36,139 --> 00:38:38,808
But I ain't touched a needle
in over eight years, y'all.

686
00:38:38,892 --> 00:38:41,853
That's right.
Kicked heroin dead in its ass.

687
00:38:42,270 --> 00:38:44,772
I been incarcerated
over half my life,

688
00:38:44,855 --> 00:38:47,107
most recently down at Lorton.

for 30 years,

00:38:50,444 --> 00:38:53,697
and as we speak my daddy's
pulling 21 in Alcatraz.

691
00:38:54,739 --> 00:38:56,658
I am an all-around hustler,

692
00:38:56,741 --> 00:39:00,370
and some of my best friends
is pimps, whores and gamblers.

693
00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:04,749
But I guess that don't make me
no different than Berry Gordy.

But in all seriousness, folks,

720
00:40:15,355 --> 00:40:20,401
I gotta apologize about
something that I said a little
earlier that upset some folks.

721
00:40:21,194 --> 00:40:23,195
I gotta apologize
to Mr. Berry Gordy

722
00:40:23,237 --> 00:40:26,282
for making him out
to be a hustler and a pimp.

723
00:40:27,533 --> 00:40:31,995
Mr. Gordy's
a very important man,
and he's done a great deal.

724
00:40:34,539 --> 00:40:38,293
And I love the way
he takes the little
brothers and sisters,

725
00:40:39,043 --> 00:40:42,880
broke-down runaways,
the downtrodden
from the projects,

726
00:40:42,922 --> 00:40:45,382
and he gets them
off the streets.

727
00:40:45,716 --> 00:40:49,928
Then he puts a few dollars
in their pockets, teaches them
how to talk and how to walk,

728
00:40:50,012 --> 00:40:53,515
then sends them right back
out there to bring him
a whole lot of money.

729
00:40:53,598 --> 00:40:57,852
So I'm sorry if in any way
I made him out to be a pimp.

only say so much

840
00:47:22,205 --> 00:47:23,873
in this so-called
free country,

841
00:47:23,914 --> 00:47:25,124
till they break you down.

842
00:47:25,207 --> 00:47:27,251
Well, guess what?
I'm telling it.

843
00:47:27,334 --> 00:47:29,920
That's right, and I'm
gonna keep on telling it.

844
00:47:30,003 --> 00:47:32,547
Some of it you're gonna like,
some of it you ain't.

845
00:47:32,589 --> 00:47:35,216
If you got something to say,
give me a call.

846
00:47:35,300 --> 00:47:36,384
If you disagree,
tell me like a man.

847
00:47:36,426 --> 00:47:37,594
Dewey, have you
lost your mind?

848
00:47:37,677 --> 00:47:39,595
Open this door right now!
Even if you're a woman.

849
00:47:39,679 --> 00:47:41,722
Mr. Greene, sir,
you are trespassing!

850
00:47:41,806 --> 00:47:45,559
I'm tired of hearing fools
complaining in barber chairs
and beauty shops.

851
00:47:45,601 --> 00:47:47,227
Let your opinion out.

852
00:47:47,311 --> 00:47:53,400
Come on and give me
a call at this station.
The number is 215-JK5-0199.

853
00:47:53,733 --> 00:47:55,443
Somebody tell Freda
to call the cops.
That number again,

854
00:47:55,527 --> 00:47:58,947
215-JK5-0199.
Dewey, this is outrageous.
Open the door!

855
00:47:59,030 --> 00:48:02,366
And now, old Petey gonna play
a little non-Motown for you.

856
00:48:02,450 --> 00:48:06,745
Dewey, open this door.
You're both in trouble.
Do you hear me?

857
00:48:06,787 --> 00:48:08,163
You are in real trouble,
mister!

858
00:48:08,247 --> 00:48:09,331
Come on.

859
00:48:09,414 --> 00:48:11,625
Come out of there
right now.

860
00:48:11,667 --> 00:48:12,959
I'm not kidding!

(FUNK MUSIC PLAYING)

862
00:48:14,169 --> 00:48:16,337
Dewey, you're not...

863
00:48:16,713 --> 00:48:17,881
WOL.

864
00:48:18,673 --> 00:48:20,675
Yeah. Yeah.

865
00:48:21,134 --> 00:48:22,843
Putting you through.

866
00:48:24,095 --> 00:48:25,513
Talk to me.

867
00:48:25,596 --> 00:48:26,972
MAN 1.: Is this Petey Greene?
Sure is.

868
00:48:27,014 --> 00:48:30,100
Petey, didn't I see you
last week down at the
strip club on 14th Street?

869
00:48:30,184 --> 00:48:33,103
Oh, yeah, I was down there.
Wasn't to see no show.

870
00:48:33,186 --> 00:48:35,814
But that don't mean I mind the
company of shake-dancers. No.

871
00:48:35,855 --> 00:48:37,690
My girl, Vernell,
she used to be shake-dancer.

872
00:48:37,774 --> 00:48:38,858
She has a bar down there now.

873
00:48:38,942 --> 00:48:40,318
SONDERLING: What do you think
you're trying to prove?

874
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,652
Yeah, I had to go
over there...

875
00:48:41,694 --> 00:48:44,113
WOL.
...and we'll talk about this,
do you hear me?

876
00:48:44,196 --> 00:48:46,949
That's right.
Putting you through now.
Look, don't touch!

877
00:48:47,574 --> 00:48:49,159
Again.
Talk to me.

878
00:48:49,243 --> 00:48:50,577
MAN 2.: Petey,
I agree with you, man.

879
00:48:50,661 --> 00:48:54,664
All them record guys
are pimps, just like most
lawyers and politicians.

880
00:48:54,748 --> 00:48:56,708
You give them all hell!
You know I will.

881
00:48:56,750 --> 00:49:00,711
SONDERLING:... do you hear me?
Come on. Dewey!

882
00:49:01,212 --> 00:49:04,006
No, no, no, no. Put it
straight through on the board.

883
00:49:04,048 --> 00:49:06,091
Line three. On the board.

884
00:49:07,051 --> 00:49:08,302
Dewey?
Talk to me.

885
00:49:08,385 --> 00:49:11,346
MAN 3.: What you think about
that kid being killed
by the pigs last week?

886
00:49:11,388 --> 00:49:13,181
I'll tell you what I think.

887
00:49:13,390 --> 00:49:15,433
Black folk life
ain't worth nothing.

888
00:49:15,517 --> 00:49:17,727
One day, black folk ain't
gonna take that no more

889
00:49:17,811 --> 00:49:19,937
and when that day happens...

890
00:49:22,732 --> 00:49:25,401
Do you realize
what you've done?
Are you trying to ruin me?

891
00:49:25,484 --> 00:49:27,653
Hot mike, man.
Oh, for crying out loud.

892
00:49:27,736 --> 00:49:28,904
I'm sorry, sir,
it was the only way.

893
00:49:28,987 --> 00:49:31,323
You just let this fellow
ruin your career.
You're finished, Dewey.

894
00:49:31,406 --> 00:49:33,658
You're making a mistake, sir.
You can't see it, but I can.

895
00:49:33,742 --> 00:49:36,536
If you throw us out,
we're gonna walk
straight over to WOOK.

896
00:49:36,578 --> 00:49:37,996
Good! That will help
our ratings.

897
00:49:38,079 --> 00:49:41,791
Gentlemen,
will you kindly escort
these men out of the building?

898
00:49:41,874 --> 00:49:44,960
Sir? I've been trying
to call the police,

899
00:49:45,044 --> 00:49:47,046
but all our lines
have been flooded.

900
00:49:47,087 --> 00:49:48,130
What?

901
00:49:48,213 --> 00:49:51,091
The operator can't handle
the volume, sir.

902
00:49:53,593 --> 00:49:55,428
Are these listener calls?

903
00:49:55,470 --> 00:49:57,222
FREDA: I think so.

904
00:49:58,932 --> 00:50:00,475
Wait a minute.

905
00:50:04,854 --> 00:50:06,605
Good morning, WOL.

906
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:09,608
Yes, ma'am, he is,

907
00:50:09,650 --> 00:50:14,613
but I'm afraid he's real busy
right now. You know,
we're getting a lot of calls.

908
00:50:14,654 --> 00:50:17,157
Yes ma'am, I will,
and thank you.

909
00:50:17,699 --> 00:50:19,325
Keep listening.

910
00:50:21,327 --> 00:50:24,955
DEWEY: Morning music
and a talk show,
with a man of the people.

911
00:50:24,997 --> 00:50:28,083
Because WOL is
a station of the people,

912
00:50:28,792 --> 00:50:30,127
for the people,

913
00:50:30,627 --> 00:50:31,920
by the people.

914
00:50:32,004 --> 00:50:33,088
I'm the people.

915
00:50:33,171 --> 00:50:35,715
He'll be a hit, sir.
I promise you that.

916
00:50:39,427 --> 00:50:42,263
All right, thank you all.
Everything's fine here.

917
00:50:42,346 --> 00:50:45,224
Let's all get back to work.
Thank you again.

918
00:50:46,684 --> 00:50:48,936
The next time you decide
to make a personnel change,

919
00:50:49,019 --> 00:50:50,354
at least put it in a memo.

920
00:50:50,437 --> 00:50:53,523
Hold it. You can't give
this thug a job.

921
00:50:53,607 --> 00:50:55,191
Man, I got your thug
right here. Ten inches.

922
00:50:55,275 --> 00:50:56,818
Oh, for heaven's sake.
Be cool, Jim.

923
00:50:56,901 --> 00:50:59,696
What?
We'll talk. We'll talk, okay?

924
00:50:59,779 --> 00:51:02,698
I want him on a short leash.
A very short leash.

925
00:51:02,740 --> 00:51:04,700
And I want a morals clause
in your contract.

926
00:51:04,784 --> 00:51:06,285
Fine, man, whatever.
I'll sign it.

927
00:51:06,368 --> 00:51:08,370
Just let me get back
to work, okay?
Jim, wait up.

928
00:51:08,454 --> 00:51:10,247
Can I get back to work?

929
00:51:10,330 --> 00:51:12,374
All right. But you watch
your language.
All right!

930
00:51:12,457 --> 00:51:15,418
And you keep an eye on him.
Thank you, sir.

931
00:51:16,169 --> 00:51:18,421
All right,
let's get busy here.

933
00:51:25,886 --> 00:51:27,721
I love that song!

934
00:51:27,763 --> 00:51:30,057
Reminds me of summertime
on the beach

935
00:51:30,098 --> 00:51:33,059
trying to get some foxy coed
to rub some lotion on me.

936
00:51:33,101 --> 00:51:34,436
Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

937
00:51:34,894 --> 00:51:37,647
Well, in case you been
asleep at the wheel,
this is Petey Greene.

938
00:51:37,730 --> 00:51:38,731
Hello, caller,
what's your name?

939
00:51:38,815 --> 00:51:40,733
And you ain't in Washington,
DC no more, Dorothy.

940
00:51:40,775 --> 00:51:42,068
No, this is P-Town.
All right, Tom, please hold.

My granny,
I call her Aunt Pig,

945

Aunt Pig say, "Petey,
why you always in jail?"

946
00:52:17,725 --> 00:52:20,770
I tell her I don't know.
"I don't know, Aunt Pig."

947
00:52:20,853 --> 00:52:23,814
Then one day
I read my indictment papers,

948
00:52:23,856 --> 00:52:29,194
they say,
"Ralph Waldo Greene versus
the United States of America. "

949

I said, "Damn! No wonder
I ain't been winning!"

He's talking about...

951
00:52:33,490 --> 00:52:37,035
And I don't care
what nobody say, ain't nothing
like a black woman.

952
00:52:37,118 --> 00:52:39,787
Now, that ain't to say
I ain't dabbled before.

953
00:52:39,871 --> 00:52:43,082
I mean, I dabbled, man,
I'm a good old dabbler.

954
00:52:43,332 --> 00:52:48,295
But give me a sister
with big hips,
big legs and a big old 'fro,

955

about me no more.

the only one to give your

to go. Tell this bitch!

and I cooked your food,

I said get out!
This is my joint.

Let me put some drawers
on or something.
Get the fuck out!

nigga. I swear to God,

I don't wanna get more upset
than I already am
with this bottle

and cut your dick off.

I know besides me,
Mr. Dick Gregory.

1329
01:20:36,965 --> 01:20:38,217
How you doing, Dick?

1330
01:20:38,550 --> 01:20:41,553
My guest tonight
is Reverend Jesse Jackson.

1331
01:20:41,595 --> 01:20:44,014
Now what is the state
of the dream, Rev?

1332
01:20:44,556 --> 01:20:46,182
(INAUDIBLE)

1333
01:21:22,966 --> 01:21:27,762
PETEY: You see,
I've always had a special gift
for making people angry.

1334
01:21:27,804 --> 01:21:31,432
"P.O.P." Pissed-Off People.

1335
01:21:31,515 --> 01:21:36,061
Man, sometimes I feel
like I should have
a Ph.D. In P.O.P.

1336
01:21:36,145 --> 01:21:39,314
And ain't that
a wonderful expression, y'all?
"Pissed off"?

1337
01:21:39,398 --> 01:21:41,942
As opposed to what, man?
"Pissed on"?

1338
01:21:42,317 --> 01:21:43,276
Speaking of which...

1339
01:21:43,693 --> 01:21:45,987
I gotta apologize again.

1340
01:21:46,070 --> 01:21:49,782
Now, I know some of y'all
heard that I lost
my mind last night.

1341
01:21:49,866 --> 01:21:53,160
Or as my Aunt Pig would say,
"Boy, you're crazy!"

1342
01:21:53,202 --> 01:21:55,955
And I was, too.
I was, I ain't lying.

1343
01:21:55,996 --> 01:21:59,374
See, I drank about
four gallons of Cold Duck,

1344
01:21:59,458 --> 01:22:02,127
and then I just walked
right up on stage
and started pissing, just...

1345
01:22:02,169 --> 01:22:03,628
(GRUNTING)

1346
01:22:04,295 --> 01:22:06,297
Didn't even bother grabbing
it, just walked and...

1347
01:22:06,381 --> 01:22:07,840
(GRUNTING)

1348
01:22:07,966 --> 01:22:10,051
Started skipping with it.
I said...

1349
01:22:10,134 --> 01:22:11,677
(IMITATING LAUGHING)

1350
01:22:11,761 --> 01:22:14,972
By the time I was through,
the stagehand was drunk.

1351
01:22:15,014 --> 01:22:16,640
(ALL LAUGHING)

1352
01:22:17,516 --> 01:22:20,435
And we had a whole row
of white folk too,
all the way across.

1353
01:22:20,519 --> 01:22:21,978
Real important people, now.

1354
01:22:22,062 --> 01:22:23,938
We talking about
the big shots, you know,
the muckety-mucks.

1355
01:22:24,022 --> 01:22:26,900
Not like you, sir, but...

1356
01:22:28,192 --> 01:22:31,821
I'm telling you,
them crackers dropped dead
right on the spot.

1357
01:22:31,904 --> 01:22:35,366
All of them. Looked like a row
of albino dominoes, just...

1358
01:22:37,659 --> 01:22:43,039
Judge say, "Mr. Petey Greene,
we charging you
with using your dick

1359
01:22:43,123 --> 01:22:46,626
"as a lethal weapon.
Now how do you plead?"

1360
01:22:46,709 --> 01:22:49,378
I said, "Your Honor!
Not guilty,
Your Honor, not guilty!

1361
01:22:49,420 --> 01:22:54,383
"Come on now, I don't want
no parts of this. I use my
dick to make love, not war!

1362
01:22:56,677 --> 01:22:59,221
"Shit only look lethal
to white folk. "

1363
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,979
Good evening, Petey.
This is Petey Greene's
Washington.

1364
01:23:08,062 --> 01:23:10,314
DEWEY: Okay,
let's try that again.

1365
01:23:10,398 --> 01:23:11,565
For what?

1366
01:23:11,607 --> 01:23:15,027
You said, "Good evening,
Petey Greene. This is
Petey Greene's Washington. "

1367
01:23:15,110 --> 01:23:17,279
No, I didn't.
Yeah, you did.

1368
01:23:17,362 --> 01:23:19,072
Dewey, I didn't say...
That's some stupid shit.

1369
01:23:19,114 --> 01:23:20,699
How many times
have we been doing this show?

1370
01:23:20,782 --> 01:23:22,784
I'm gonna say some stupid
shit like that? Come on, man.

1371
01:23:22,868 --> 01:23:24,828
Okay, my mistake.
I didn't say,
"Good evening, Petey."

1372
01:23:24,911 --> 01:23:28,081
That's stupid.
Okay, let's try it again.
Please.

1373
01:23:28,998 --> 01:23:31,000
Are you ready?
Born so.

1374
01:23:31,083 --> 01:23:32,543
Good evening...

1375
01:23:33,919 --> 01:23:36,088
Okay, let's try it again.

1376
01:23:36,130 --> 01:23:37,965
Let's try it again.
See what you did?

1377
01:23:38,006 --> 01:23:40,550
I fucked up, is what I did!
Yep.

1378
01:23:40,634 --> 01:23:42,761
I gotta stop drinking.
God damn!
Maybe.

1379
01:23:43,136 --> 01:23:44,721
Good evening, Washington.

1380
01:23:44,804 --> 01:23:47,932
My guest tonight is a pimp
that I wouldn't trust
to wash my car,

1381
01:23:48,016 --> 01:23:49,475
but y'all done
elected him city official...

1382
01:23:49,517 --> 01:23:51,102
DEWEY: Cut!

1383
01:23:51,143 --> 01:23:53,020
Jesus Christ, Petey!

1384
01:23:57,483 --> 01:23:58,483
DEWEY: What?

1385
01:24:00,485 --> 01:24:01,695
(LAUGHING) Freda!

1386
01:24:02,487 --> 01:24:05,115
I love my job!
I love... Where's Petey?

1387
01:24:05,156 --> 01:24:08,534
Where's Petey, huh?
Lay it on me, now!
Lay it on me!

1388
01:24:08,618 --> 01:24:11,329
Right on with the right-on!

1389
01:24:11,412 --> 01:24:13,247
You're not gonna
believe what's happening.

1390
01:24:13,330 --> 01:24:15,332
You're not gonna
believe it, man.

1391
01:24:15,416 --> 01:24:16,959
Was it Free Pussy Day
or something?

1392
01:24:17,042 --> 01:24:20,295
You are looking at the baddest
manager on the planet.

1393
01:24:20,379 --> 01:24:22,672
You, my man,
are doing The Tonight Show.

1394
01:24:22,714 --> 01:24:26,634
Next Tuesday, New York City,
live and in living color.

1395
01:24:26,718 --> 01:24:30,846
They had an act cancel
on The Tonight Show, baby!

1396
01:24:31,055 --> 01:24:33,307
You, me, Carson.

1397
01:24:35,559 --> 01:24:37,561
This is it, my man.
Yeah.

1398
01:24:37,644 --> 01:24:40,897
This is that moment that
I've been telling you about.

1399
01:24:40,981 --> 01:24:42,899
Yeah. Yeah!

1400
01:24:43,984 --> 01:24:46,444
Yeah, that's great, man. Yeah.
Yeah?

1401
01:24:46,986 --> 01:24:48,529
"Here's Petey!"

1402
01:24:50,281 --> 01:24:52,992
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.

1403
01:24:53,826 --> 01:24:54,994
Yeah.
Okay.

1404
01:25:26,898 --> 01:25:29,776
New York, New York, y'all.
Like they say.

1405
01:25:29,817 --> 01:25:32,528
If you make it here...
I'll be a bitch-ass nigga.

1406
01:25:32,695 --> 01:25:33,737
(SCREAMING)

1407
01:25:33,821 --> 01:25:35,489
DEWEY: There it is.

1408
01:25:49,419 --> 01:25:51,003
Dewey Hughes?
Yes, sir.

1409
01:25:51,087 --> 01:25:53,047
Fred De Cordova.
I know.

1410
01:25:53,130 --> 01:25:54,840
Glad you could make it
on such short notice.

1411
01:25:54,924 --> 01:25:57,926
If you called us
twenty seconds ago, sir,
we would have been here.

1412
01:25:58,010 --> 01:25:59,928
And you must be Petey.
Hey.

1413
01:26:00,012 --> 01:26:01,096
Heard a lot about you.

1414
01:26:01,179 --> 01:26:03,139
Johnny's looking forward
to hearing your routine.

1415
01:26:03,181 --> 01:26:05,141
Well, I just hope
I don't disappoint him.

1416
01:26:05,183 --> 01:26:07,393
Oh, you'll be fine.

1417
01:26:07,477 --> 01:26:09,812
Oh, that's Vernell.
Hi.

So, dry run's at 10:00,

01:26:24,743 --> 01:26:26,286
Oh, thank you.

1421
01:26:27,662 --> 01:26:29,205
No, no, please...

1422
01:26:53,269 --> 01:26:55,604

very interesting.

1423

Yeah.
Yeah.

1430
01:27:29,969 --> 01:27:32,263
So Bette's going to do
two songs, eh? Bette Midler?

1431
01:27:47,652 --> 01:27:50,029

And in exactly 30 minutes,

this whole country is gonna
know what I already know.

1441
01:28:20,766 --> 01:28:25,562
That Petey Greene is
the baddest comic in America.

1442
01:28:26,146 --> 01:28:28,856
Just keep it real,
like you do,

1443
01:28:30,441 --> 01:28:32,401
you'll be fine.

1444
01:28:33,569 --> 01:28:34,904
Excuse me.
MAN: Yes, sir?

1445

Oh, sure thing, sir.
Just follow me.

Just a suburb of P-Town.

1448
01:28:53,712 --> 01:28:55,881
Over here, to your left.
Thank you.

Dewey!
Yeah?

1450
01:28:57,716 --> 01:28:59,926
You have to get him
out of this, man.

1451
01:29:00,010 --> 01:29:02,846
What? Are you nuts?
Listen to me, Dewey.

1452
01:29:03,430 --> 01:29:07,517
I know that man.
Hell, you know that man.
And I know you saw that look.

1453
01:29:07,558 --> 01:29:10,228
I didn't see shit.
I saw nerves.

1454
01:29:10,269 --> 01:29:13,189
Dewey, baby. I know
how important this is to you.

1455
01:29:13,230 --> 01:29:15,065
He does, too! That's the
only reason why he's here!

1456
01:29:15,107 --> 01:29:18,569
To me? It has nothing to do
with me. Bullshit, Vernell.

1457
01:29:18,652 --> 01:29:24,407
Bullshit! I mean, Cosby,
Gregory, Pryor, they've
all been on that stage.

1458
01:29:24,491 --> 01:29:27,827
What comic in the world
doesn't want to be
on The Tonight Show?

1459
01:29:27,910 --> 01:29:29,203
You see, he ain't a comic.

1460
01:29:29,287 --> 01:29:31,789
He ain't a comic, he ain't
a television personality,

1461
01:29:31,872 --> 01:29:33,416
he ain't a civic leader!

1462
01:29:33,499 --> 01:29:35,751
He's just a regular-ass
nigga from DC who...

1463
01:29:40,589 --> 01:29:43,508
He's just a regular-ass nigga
from DC who likes
to run his mouth.

1464
01:29:43,591 --> 01:29:46,261
And for some reason,
people respond!
Vernell?

1465
01:29:46,302 --> 01:29:49,388
Vernell, you're wrong, okay?

1466
01:29:51,057 --> 01:29:52,975
Look where we are.

1467
01:29:53,350 --> 01:29:54,602
Look where we are.

1468
01:29:54,685 --> 01:29:59,064
He doesn't want
to be here, Dewey.
I can see it in his eyes.

1469
01:29:59,856 --> 01:30:03,235
Just keep an eye on him.

1470
01:30:03,318 --> 01:30:06,154
Make sure he doesn't leave
that room. Okay?

1471
01:30:09,907 --> 01:30:11,325
Petey?

1472
01:30:12,159 --> 01:30:14,662
Oh, no! No, Petey.

1657
01:47:55,134 --> 01:47:58,136
to say all the things
that I'm afraid to say.

1658
01:47:59,930 --> 01:48:01,139
Oh, that part.

1659
01:48:03,933 --> 01:48:05,727
(COUGHING HOARSELY)

1660
01:48:11,065 --> 01:48:12,316
Not now.

1661
01:48:19,781 --> 01:48:21,575
Well, the truth is,

1662
01:48:22,534 --> 01:48:24,953
you ain't getting
no younger, man.

1663
01:48:26,246 --> 01:48:30,917
So I decided I'm gonna
cut you some slack.

1664
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:32,918
Go on and forgive you.

1665
01:48:34,712 --> 01:48:35,838
Forgive me.

1666
01:48:42,719 --> 01:48:45,054
I love you
like a brother, man.

1667
01:48:47,598 --> 01:48:49,517
I know you love me, too.

1668
01:48:51,143 --> 01:48:53,437
Now, you too stubborn
to say it,

1669
01:48:54,605 --> 01:48:56,940
but I think you miss
old Petey Greene.

1670
01:48:59,318 --> 01:49:01,653
So I'm gonna give you
one last shot.

1671
01:49:10,161 --> 01:49:11,579
That's deep.

1672
01:49:11,662 --> 01:49:12,997
(CHUCKLES)

1673
01:49:14,039 --> 01:49:16,000
Yeah it was, wasn't it?

1674
01:49:18,293 --> 01:49:20,087
I might put that
in a card someday.

1675
01:49:20,170 --> 01:49:21,796
(PETEY CHUCKLES)

1676
01:49:25,175 --> 01:49:27,093
(POOL BALLS STRIKING)

1677
01:49:28,261 --> 01:49:29,929
Good shot, Petey.

1678
01:49:42,232 --> 01:49:43,108
(CHATTERING)

1679
01:49:48,196 --> 01:49:51,407
Everybody come back
to the shop
with their eyes fucked up...

1680
01:49:52,908 --> 01:49:54,201
Stop it!

1681
01:49:56,203 --> 01:49:57,579
(INAUDIBLE)

1682
01:50:04,544 --> 01:50:09,841
PETEY. : I ain't nothing, man,
I ain't nothing
but a con and a thief.

1683
01:50:09,924 --> 01:50:12,468
So I ain't up here trying
to be nobody's preacher.

1684
01:50:12,551 --> 01:50:16,722
I'm just trying to tell
the truth to y'all,
like I promised I would.

1685
01:50:22,978 --> 01:50:27,065
DEWEY. : Petey liked to say
that he was just a con.

1686
01:50:27,440 --> 01:50:29,567
Telling it like it is.

1687
01:50:31,277 --> 01:50:33,320
But he was more than that.

1688
01:50:38,617 --> 01:50:41,495
He said the things
that we were afraid to say.

1689
01:50:43,580 --> 01:50:45,081
I'm sorry, man.

1690
01:50:52,797 --> 01:50:55,549
He was the bravest man
that I ever met.

1691
01:50:57,926 --> 01:51:00,637
He was, and still is,
everything I'm not.

1692
01:51:04,015 --> 01:51:05,642
And that's why I love him.

1693
01:51:05,725 --> 01:51:07,185
MAN: Yeah.

1694
01:51:11,314 --> 01:51:13,732
So, in the words
of my best friend,

1695
01:51:16,985 --> 01:51:19,279
"That's all we got.
MAN: Yeah!

1696
01:51:19,363 --> 01:51:21,156
"There ain't no more.
That's right!

1697
01:51:21,239 --> 01:51:23,116
"Time is tight.

1698
01:51:23,199 --> 01:51:25,702
"It's the end of the show.

1699
01:51:25,785 --> 01:51:29,664
"So grab your head
and make a fist. "

1700
01:51:30,248 --> 01:51:32,958
"Listen to me
and remember this. "

1701
01:51:33,042 --> 01:51:34,335
...and remember this.

1702
01:51:34,418 --> 01:51:37,713
I tell it to the hot,
I tell it to the cold.

1703
01:51:37,796 --> 01:51:41,341
I tell it to the young,
I tell it to the old.

1704
01:51:41,424 --> 01:51:44,219
Don't want no laughing,
don't want no crying.

1705
01:51:44,302 --> 01:51:47,263
And most of all,
no signifying.
DEWEY. : "...no signifying!"

1706
01:51:47,847 --> 01:51:51,726
This is
Petey Greene's Washington,
ladies and gentlemen.

1707
01:51:51,767 --> 01:51:53,310
This is P-Town!

1708
01:51:53,394 --> 01:51:56,772
ALL: Petey! Petey!
Petey! Petey!

1709
01:51:56,855 --> 01:52:00,567
Petey! Petey! Petey! Petey!

1710
01:52:06,739 --> 01:52:07,865
PETEY. : Be cool, y'all.

1711
01:52:55,868 --> 01:52:57,703
PETEY. : Wake up, God damn it!

1712
01:54:17,734 --> 01:54:19,653
VERNELL. : Shirley Chisholm
for President, everybody!

1713
01:54:19,736 --> 01:54:22,197
Vote Shirley Chisholm
for President, 1972!

1714
01:56:15,259 --> 01:56:18,303
PETEY. : Why do you think
they send our boys off to war?

1715
01:58:28,548 --> 01:58:32,093
Look here. I ain't never
asked for this shit.
