Original Kings of Comedy Page #2

Synopsis: February 26 and 27, 2000, the Original Kings of Comedy play Charlotte, NC. The themes are Blacks and Whites, men and women, old-school and hip-hop. Steve Harvey emcees, celebrates '70s music and lyrics of love, and pokes at folks in the front row. D.L. Hughley mines racial differences and talks about his marriage. Cedric the Entertainer riffs on a Black president and on being grown up. Bernie Mac, who says he expresses what's in the back of our minds, closes with reflections on being 42 (new aspects to his sex life and his attitude toward children). Spike Lee's camera takes us backstage and off-stage with the Kings and into the crowd where everyone's laughing.

master of acting from Russia.

Pain is transmitted from your body to

the inside, and outside again.

Let try one more time.

Look, it's much better this time.

Isn't it? He acts much better now.

Let's try one more time.

Right, a little bit more, more,

being stabbed.

Maybe I can help you this way.

This is working, tears come out now.

Look clearly, remember this expression,

remember this feeling.

Do remember this, get it?

Let's go.

What about own "Thunder Storm" tomorrow.

No rehearsal needed for "Thunder Storm".

We will come for sure,

promise is a promise!

I'll bring hundreds of people

to watch your play as well.

- It's a deal.

- Just don't worry.

Faster.

Get into position.

Granny, you stepped on someone.

I didn't step on anyone.

You just couldn't feel when you

stepped on him, look at his foot.

Yes, he's sweating as well.

Give me some money and I'll

send him to the hospital.

I have no money.

Look at him, he's dying.

I only have $100 left.

Give me, that $100.

Let's move!

Granny, you've dropped some money.

Really good luck.

Sir...

- Are you free tomorrow?

- What is it?

"Thunder Storm" is on show

at Neighbour Theatre.

"Thunder Storm"? Good!

Miss, what's your name?

Piu, and you?

This is your name, really?

Whatever I told you,

just call me Piu, idiot?

You're really a student?

Sure I am, I'm still a virgin,

isn't that great?

It's your luck, Uncle.

Let's play 'Chai Fist'?

I don't know how to play it.

You don't know 'Chai Fist'?

Have you been educated?

Fanny, come here.

Your belly is really big!

Mind you can't get into the coffin.

'Chai Fist', Bingo!

Come on, relax, have some fun.

Cheer up, why did draw your face?

Your parents are dead or something?

Chai Fist', Bingo!

Triangle, rectangle, four!

Good, I'll drink!

Tonight is College Girls'

First Love Evening.

So please mind your words,

do behave like a student girl.

If clients complain about you again,

then I can't help you anymore.

What College Girl? Just a damned trick.

If I can be a college girl,

I won't be working here.

You believe you did nothing wrong?

Mamasan, the man at Table 7

is really ugly.

I can't stand it and

I am not doing business with him.

Do you all want to

be selecting on clients?

No...

You're too much.

You are not professional,

you can concentrate on one single.

One single spot?

If that man is ugly,

you needn't look at him.

If his ears are pretty,

just stare at his ears.

If his mouth is ugly but the teeth

are nice, just look at his teeth.

So you new comer are really ignorant.

Let me deal with him.

Come on, watch what I'll do.

Be smart.

Hi!

You're pretty.

What's your name, Boss?

My name is Pierre.

It's a French name.

Are everyone says I look like

a Frenchman, so I get a French name.

If you can't pronounce that well,

just call me Pi or Erre.

What's on?

You used to be proud,

now you get a lesson.

You can't blame me, he's a real rarity.

Have you seen anyone

put a cockroach on his head?

What's the problem?

Look at LuLu,

she's playing with that cockroach now.

I admit failure.

OK, from now on,

you won't have clients to sit at.

You'll be bored to death.

You're all like this.

Connie, come and teach her for me.

You're not amateur, you should know

you must act in front of clients.

But your problem is: you acting stinks.

I can do nothing about it.

I hear someone teaches acting for free.

I'll take you to see him.

Teaches acting?

- Hey, men.

- Yes!

Hurry up, start working.

You again?

Morning, Brother Sunny.

Aunt Ha!

I'm looking for him too.

I haven't given you a notice,

what brings you here?

Remember last time that you asked me

to think about the ways to die.

I've thought over and

I have some new ideas now,

and I believe my performance

will make you satisfied.

I would have killed you in the past.

Talking about knife,

it's different from a gun.

The position of the wound

is usually under the armpit, here.

The wound is a bit bigger,

and the face will twist more.

If you're betrayed by your own friends,

you will even...

I didn't expect... it's you...

Get lost!

Brother Sunny, I...

I just want to act,

give me a chance please.

Do you love standing here?

OK, stand here, I won't pay you a dime.

I'll act even if you don't pay me,

I only want a lunch box.

But lunch box costs money too, beat it!

Sunny.

What is it, Martial Art Director?

It's bad to use this mannequin

to disguise as a dead man.

Figure it out, we're in a hurry!

Yes, OK... got it.

Thank you, Brother Sunny.

Only a lunch box.

No problem,

should I put some make up on?

Put it on now.

Director, the actors are ready.

Actors are all ready.

Action!

Cockroach...

Let's help sister Cuckoo.

Cockroach!

Go to hell!

Sister Cuckoo, don't be afraid.

Sister Cuckoo, don't be afraid,

it's OK now.

Director, can we cut now?

It's still running?

Cut!

- OK.

- Are you OK?

Must you do all these

to kill a cockroach!

Let's see if he's alright?

I'm fine, Sister Cuckoo,

thanks for your concerns.

Why don't you move at all?

I didn't move

since Director hasn't shouted 'cut' yet.

So I mustn't move.

Do you hear that...

He keeps on acting since the Director

hasn't shouted 'cut' yet.

This is what I always tell you:

professionalism.

What's your name?

I'm called Wan Tin Sau.

- Yee, give him a cup of coffee.

- Yes.

- Get his phone number for me.

- Yes.

You... work in my team from now on.

Thanks, Sister Cuckoo.

- Is this shot OK?

- Yes.

Weapon comes.

- Sunny.

- Yes.

I am telling you,

even extras are important.

The one who played the father,

we mustn't use him again.

Got it, Sister Cuckoo.

Sister Cuckoo,

I am the one who played the Father.

In fact, it is like this...

Fine...

Let me clean it for you,

towel, get the towel.

- Sister Cuckoo!

- Watch out!

Sister Cuckoo, are you alright?

Don't touch.

Don't touch!

Very pretty.

Sister Cuckoo!

Security guard, is there someone here

who teaches acting?

I've been in the field of art for ages.

Whether it's movie or TV,

I'm experienced.

I was the creative director

in Amusement Park Theatre.

So I can sing and dance.

You mean you are the instructor here?

Well, many people here

love theatre and play.

They love studying plays with me.

Those people introduce us here indeed.

OK, this way please.

It's you?

Didn't you play in that film... that...

The stupid man standing behind, falls

after stepping on a banana peel?

You noticed my performance too?

You idiot! Only an idiot will fall

after stepping on a banana peel.

- Why don't you go dying?

- Thanks.

- Are you really that stupid?

- You're flattering me.

You damned extra, you are...

In fact, I am an actor. That way please.

Damned extra.

What can I do for you?

Frankly,

we're hostesses of a night club.

I can tell.

We're holding "College Girls'

First Love Evening" right now.

These girls dare to say they don't

have the feeling of first love at all.

How can you work like this?
