I'm mad at you because you never take my advice.

Chris Washington

Like what?

Like don't go to a white girl's parents' house. What is she doin'? Lickin' your balls or somethin'?

Chris Washington
[about Rose's parents]

Do they know... Do they know I'm black?

No. Should they?

Chris Washington

It seems like...something you might want to, you know...mention.

"Mom and Dad, my uh, my black boyfriend will be coming up this weekend, and I just don't want you to be shocked because he's a blackman." Black...

Chris Washington

You said I was the first black guy you ever dated?

Yeah, so what?

Chris Washington

Yeah, so this is uncharted territory for them. You know I don't want to be chased off the lawn with a shotgun.

You're not going to. First of all, my dad would have voted for Obama a third time if he could have. Like, the love is so real. I'm only telling you that because he is definitely going to want to talk to you about that, and it will definitely **** suck. But that's because he's a lame dad more than anything else. They are not racist. I would have told you. I wouldn't be bringing you home to them. Think about that for just two seconds.

Chris Washington

I'm thinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah good.

Here, you're going to love this. My Dad's claim to fame. He was beat by Jesse Owens in the qualifying round for the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Those were the ones where...

Chris Washington

Owens won in front of Hitler.

Yes, what a moment, what a moment. I mean, Hitler's up there with all his perfect Aryan race bullshit. This black dude comes along and proves him wrong in front of the entire whole world. Amazing.

Chris Washington

Not great for your dad, though.

Yeah. He almost got over it.

[opening the door to show the back yard]

And now for the piece de resistance. The field of play. I love it. The nearest house is across the lake. Total privacy. [they see Walter working in the yard] I know what you're thinking.

Chris Washington

What?

Come on, I get it. White family, black servants. It's a total cliché.

Chris Washington

I wasn't going to take it there.

Well you didn't have to, believe me. Now, we hired Georgina and Walter to help care for my parents. When they died I just couldn't bear to let them go. But boy, I hate how it looks.

Chris Washington

Yeah, I know what you mean.

By the way, I would have voted for Obama for a third term if I could. Best president in my lifetime. Hands down.

Missy Armitage
[to a hypnotized Chris]

How do you feel now?

Chris Washington

I can't move.

Missy Armitage

You can't move.

Chris Washington

Why can't I move?

Missy Armitage

You're paralyzed. Just like that day when you did nothing. You did nothing. Now...sink into the floor.

Chris Washington

Wait, wait, wait.

Missy Armitage

Sink... Now you're in the Sunken place.

Chris Washington

I didn't even want to tell you.

What?

Chris Washington

I got hypnotized last night.

****, get the **** outta here!

Chris Washington

No. Yo, yo, yeah it's to quit smoking. But Rose's mom's a psychiatrist, so ...

Bro I don't care if the bitch is Iyanla Vanzant, okay? She can't fix my mother**** life. You ain't getting in my head.

Chris Washington

I know, she caught me off guard, right? But it's cool because... I'm cured. It worked!

Bro, how you not scared of this, man? Look they could have made you do all types of stupid shit. They have you ****in' barking like a dog. Flyin' around like you a ****in' pigeon, lookin' ridiculous. Okay? Or, I don't know if you know this. But, white people love making people sex slaves and shit.

Chris Washington

Yeah I'm pretty sure they are not a kinky sex family, dog.

Look, Jeffrey Dahmer was eating the shit out of ****' heads. Okay? But that was after he **** the heads. Do you think they saw that shit coming? Hell no, okay? They were coming over there like "I'm a suck a little dick, maybe jiggle some balls or shit." No. They didn't get a chance to jiggle shit because their heads was off their bodies. Yeah they still sucked the dick, but without their heads. It was weird detached heads shit. You know, that's Jeffrey Dahmer's business.

Chris Washington

Thanks for that image right there, man.

Hey man, I'm not making this shit up. I saw it on A & E. That is real life.

Chris Washington

Yo, and the black people out here too. It seems like they all missed the movement.

It's because they probably hypnotized. Look bro, all I'm doin' is connectin' the dots. I'm takin' what you presented to me, okay? I'm gonna tell you this, I think that mom is puttin' everybody in a trance and she's ****in' the shit out of 'em.

Chris Washington
[about Andre Hayworth]

He's different.

No shit! Why is he dressed like that?

Chris Washington

It's not that, it's everything. He came to the party with a white woman like 30 years older than him.

Sex slave! Oh, shit! Chris, you gotta get the **** up outta there, man! You in some Eyes Wide Shut situation. Leave, mother**** - [cell phone line goes dead]

Jeremy Armitage

Yo man, where are you going? The party is just starting.

Chris Washington

I'm just putting the bags in the car, man.

Missy Armitage

Would anyone like tea?

Chris Washington

No I'm good. We're leaving, actually.

Missy Armitage

Really? Why? Is there something wrong?

[Chris looks at Rose]

His dog got really sick, so he has to be at the vet first thing in the morning.

Chris Washington

Sorry.

Missy Armitage

How terrible.

Chris Washington

Rose, the keys.

I'm looking.

What is your purpose, Chris?

Chris Washington

What?

In life. What is your purpose?

Chris Washington

Right now it's finding those keys.

Fire. It is a reflection of our own mortality. We are born, we breathe and then we die.

I'm looking.

Even the sun will die someday. But we are divine. We are the gods trapped in cocoons.

[digging in her purse]

I don't know where they are.

Chris Washington

Rose, give me those keys. Give me those keys! Rose, now, now! The keys!

Jeremy Armitage
[Jeremy swings a lacrosse stick at Chris, who pushes him away]

Whoa be careful bro.

Chris Washington

What the ****?

Jeremy Armitage

I didn't do anything.

Chris Washington

What the **** is going on? Where are those keys, Rose?

[long pause] [holds up the keys]

You know I can't give you the keys, right babe?

Chris Washington

Why us? Why black people?

Who knows? People want to change. Some people want to be stronger...faster...cooler. Black is in fashion.

I mean, I told you not to go in that house.

Chris Washington

How you find me?

I'm T.S... mother****in'-A. We handle shit. That's what we do. Consider this situation... ****in' handled.

I used to dabble myself. Wilderness mostly. I submitted to Nat Geo 14 times before realizing I didn't have the eye. I began dealing. Then, of course, my vision went to shit.

Chris Washington

Damn.

I know. Life can be a sick joke. One day you're developing prints in the dark room and the next day you wake up - in the dark. Genetic disease.

Chris Washington

Shit ain't fair, man.

Oh, you got that right! Shit ain't fair.
