but, uh, I was, uh, getting my hair cut
the other day at the barber shop.
I was waiting my turn
and, uh, browsing
the magazines they offer there,
and, well, they offer quite a few,
uh, and they happened
to have Playboy there.
You know, its a barber
shop. A lot of men come there,
so I guess they figure
that men might like to
glance at the Playboy
- while waiting to have their hair cut.
- Right.
And I was reminded
that, uh, you were once in Playboy.
Believe I heard...
heard that somewhere.
And I was, you know,
just wondering, uh...
what was that like?
Don't stop me
So nice to see you.
Don't stop me
About time they got
rid of shaking hands.
Do you mind?
Do I mind if you rub my dick?
Yeah.
No, it saves me the trouble.
I'm trying to think of the last time
I was asked a question that stupid.
Girls, please!
Look, we wont mention it again!
Forget I brought it up!
- Go away!
- What porno?
Floyd, could I please
Then they find out we are doing it,
and it changes everything.
some "dime a dozen" bimbo.
If you were, you wouldnt be with me.
You must be a person of great worth.
Now, all we got to do
to make this happen is,
I move in to your place,
and we start having sex all the time.
Constant sex is important.
Then, who knows?
looked at me the same.
I think, you know, they thought
I was some wild thing
who loved to take her clothes off
instead of just some struggling
young woman who had been
held up at gunpoint that month
and couldnt pay her rent.
Well, luckily, then, that
was, you know, a long time ago,
a distant memory, and you certainly
wont ever have to do
anything like that again.
You certainly have
a great-looking kid.
Yeah.
Okay.
Andy?
a way to ask me out,
you dont have to work so hard.
- Oh, no?
- No.
When?
Clearly, I lacked the necessary tools
to be a successful pornographer.
I'm sorry, I let you all down.
No, you didnt, Andy.
Well...
No, you tried your best, Andy.
We all did.
Just a bad day for all of us.
An especially bad day for my hair.
Fellas, V. V, fellas.
Shes ready to porno.
To V!
V!
Heres to V.
Thank you, guys. Thank you.
Okay, remember Homer
who were supposed to be
in that "big black guys
with the little white girl "scene?
Well, none of them,
or Charlene got the
other half of their money,
because they ended
up not doing the job.
Well, Homer and his
friends have decided
that they're owed the other half.
They feel real strongly about it.
So I get a call from Homer.
He wants to talk this over
man-to-man here at Meyer's.
We feel were owed the money,
if for nothing else, because
of the way you treated us.
Things, well...
they may have gotten
a little out of hand.
We werent as kind as
we should have been,
and so I apologize.
Id be happy to get the
other guys, too, Homer,
but what I dont
think you realize is...
we got nothing for the
3,000 we already gave you.
Now you want us to give you
another three for more nothing,
plus Charlenes thou?
You know, thats a third of our
budget flushed down the toilet.
Well, thats not our problem, is it?
No. No, thats our problem,
and thats why we cant do as you ask.
You said 2,000 a man.
Yeah, half for showing up,
half for doing the job.
But you didnt give us
a chance to do the job.
No, you couldnt do the job.
You know, the job was to...
you know, have sex with
Charlene utilizing a...
lets call it proper porno penis.
And, Homer, I was real
clear with you guys
when I went over the deal with...
You just assumed we had big d*cks.
Thats right.
Because were black.
What do we know about penis?
That, coupled with the
fact that you never told us
you had improper porno penises,
- when we told what we needed...
- No, no, no.
What you wanted to do
was to humiliate us.
We went to all that trouble to
humiliate you? Spent all of that money?
Homer, I'm in big trouble
without that scene.
I have never in my life had any extra
to spend on humiliating people.
Are the white guys who do
your movie getting humiliated?
What does that mean?
A funny penis is a funny penis,
regardless of race, creed, or religion.
Then why did it have to be black guys?
It was a "black guys
with a white girl" scene.
Could I have another
hunk of pie, please?
You know, this is my first porno.
I'm not a pornographer,
I'm just a schnook looking to score.
I'm not a president of the
film board whos decreed
that every porno's got to have
experiencing whopping black baloney.
But why do I have to
make the omelet with eggs?
You know, what do we know?
Were trying to make a porno.
Youre trying to turn
this into a black thing.
Why are you doing that?
Well, isnt it?
Homer, I'm never...
I... I dont have time to be a racist.
I dont do, okay? I try.
And I'm trying to make a porno,
because its something I
think I might be able to do,
because its killing me
I havent done anything.
You know, people who
do, they have extra time,
not us trying people.
Were busy trying all the time.
Nothing takes up more time than trying.
- We wanted to try.
- Yeah, but you couldnt do!
Do you think, if I could do anything,
I would pick, "make a porno"?
I cant afford the goddamn good ball!
Look, you hired three black men
to do a job that you had
But you didnt pay them in full,
and you are sitting here saying
to me that it isnt a black thing.
Black penis thing!
Black penis! Black penis!
Then why does it have
Because they are the ones
with the black penises.
F*** you.
Come on.
All right, I admit it.
Were prejudiced against small penises
I will not do it.
Give me a sec, would you?
Helen?
Oh, hey, how ya doin", Barney?
Youre crying.
I am not.
Yes, you are. Why are you crying?
I am not crying.
Helen, not again.
God. Leave me alone, Barney.
Helen, every week you
find some terrific new guy
to let crap all over you.
Theres a lot of guys that
need to take a crap, Helen.
Why dont you have a little
more respect for yourself?
You might as well do our porno.
Were paying, and it beats
the choices youve been making.
Yeah, youd like that, wouldnt you?
What? No.
I may as well because
I... I need the money.
Maybe I ought to.
Yes!
Emmett!
Emmett!
Get your camera! Lets go!
I said no.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
You know, I wish I
had more for you to...
I dont care.
Its just that youre my kid,
so I care about all
kinds of nutty stuff.
Its a pain in the ass.
So, I was with Billy,
and I found out later what Helen did.
Ma, you need anything, holler.
This being spur of the moment and all,
Some didn't want to give Hel
so he made the executive decision
to have Hel do the "gal
masturbating with toys" scene.
There's something that I want to say
