 | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Albert Hodges Jim Willis: Albert! One thing I hated more about being in school, was having to walk to and from it each and every day. Jim Willis: I heard you got cut from the team. Albert Hodges: What you gonna do about it? Jim Willis: What do you think that I should do about it? Albert Hodges: Get rid of him. Jim Willis: He's a good coach. Albert Hodges: It's racist, man. Jim Willis: [exits from his car, and catches up with Albert] Wait a second. There's six other blacks on that team. They never had a problem with Coach Reeves. Albert Hodges: That's 'cause they never asserted themselves before. White people, give black people all the rights they want, as long as they keep their mouths shut, and don't say anything about it. Well, that ain't good enough for me. Jim Willis: You feel as though that's the reason, that Coach Reeves cut you from the team? Albert Hodges: [sighs] Why are we talking about him? Jim Willis: 'Cause I've know him longer than you'ver been alive. I roomed with him in college, it was my idea to bring him here. Now, do you actually think I would do that if I though that he was prejudiced? Albert Hodges: I don't care what you think, 'cause you don't know what being black is anymore. Sit all day behind your big desk, in your suit, and your fancy ties. Uh-uh, you're just as white as he is. Jim Willis: You little dumb clown. You think you're the only black kid in the world who's ever suffered? Well, let me tell you something sonny boy. You don't know nothin'. Don't walk when I'm talking to you. You ever had to stand on the side of the road, and pee in your pants because, you weren't allowed to use a white bathroom? or ride in the back of the bus and then you have to give your seat up to a white man? Do you know anything about that? Well I do. 'Cause that's how it was when I was coming up. So don't go around telling me how tough it is to be black. If there's one thing I know, it's a racist when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now. Albert Hodges: What's that suppose to mean? Jim Willis: I don't have to tell you what it means. You know exactly what it means. Coach Reeves doesn't hate you bacause your black. You hate yourself because, your black. |

[class members start laughing] |
 | Season 1 / Episode 4: - Bonus Baby Ken Reeves: Jackie Solomon, Warren Coolidge. Jackie Solomon: Understand you're thinking about turning pro under the guidance of Mr. Walter Preston. You must've got the ol' Preston 1-2 Punch, huh? Warren Coolidge: What, did he handle you, too? Jackie Solomon: Yeah, he handled me... like a hot potato. Warren Coolidge: What do you mean? Jackie Solomon: Preston had me convinced I was a young Al Attles. Not that I needed a lot of convincing, mind you, I was good and I knew it. I was All-Scholastic in high school and I was gonna be a pro one way or the other. It's just that Preston's way looked like the easy way. In fact, it looked so good, I couldn't think straight. You see, he was workin' with this chick, see, and we had what you might call a "whirlwind romance." She took me off on a weekend to Vegas and by the time I came up for air, I was ready to sign anything. Well. I signed all right, but it was the chick who turned out to be the bonus baby! Seems she got five percent of everything she got her hands on, and let me tell you, sonny, those hands get around! Jackie Solomon: [as Coolidge, in disbelief, turns to leave] Where you goin', sonny? I ain't finished my story! Warren Coolidge: I don't want to hear anymore! Jackie Solomon: Well, in that case, I'll make the rest short and simple! The pros wanted me to have a season in the Eastern League for the experience, the experience I didn't get in college. I might as well have been playin' for the Steelers! Those guys play strictly bump and run! My knee got wrecked in the third game, I got 6,000 bucks! And, that was all she wrote for the young Al Attles! |

Now I know a racist when I see one. And I'm looking at one right now. |
