SCENE: CNS BUILDING - EARLY MORNING
Delacroix and Sloan sip coffee as they stand on the patio of their office building.
DELACROIX
I can't believe that Manray was under our noses the entire
time.
SLOAN
I know! Do you know how you'll use him?
DELACROIX
Dunwitty wants a Coon show. So
that's what I intend to give him.
The show will be so negative,
so offensive and racist. Hence,
I will prove my point.
SLOAN
Which is what?
DELACROIX
The point being that him, the
Network, does not want to see
Negroes on television unless they
are buffoons!
SLOAN
Well, they definitely do not want to see dignified
black people. I mean they proved that by cancelling your
show “Brown Nose Jones”. Which was BRILLIANT!
after thirteen episodes they cancelled it!
DELACROIX
It didn't have a chance!
SLOAN
I don't know Pierre. I really don't.
It still sounds very risky.
DELACROIX
You are not getting cold feet on me
are you?
SLOAN
No! I'm down with you.
DELACROIX
Good, because I'm going to need
your undying support, lamb.
