What are you gonna do

about your competition?

- Let me show.

- Okay, you ready?

You ready?

Do it, do it.

- Action

- charm.

- No, that's not charm.

- That's not what we rehearsed.

All right, you say "action. "

I'll do it then.

- Say action.

- I'm not saying "action. "

Charmed.

Greetings, gentlemen,

I'm here to rush.

Name?

Ah.

Chet buttersworth?

That's my name.

Head on in.

Next generation,

deep space nine...

No, that's an off-shore equity

hedge account, bro.

On there?

It's got several advantages

over javascript.

Nice to meet you.

Chet buttersworth.

Listen, don't you guys

find it a little odd

that they have

the white people over there

and... other people

right here?

We just sort of congregated

here by chance.

Chance, that's funny.

What's your name?

- Zack.

- Zack.

Kind of tall for an Asian...

6is what they're saying.

Me? I'm like,

"he's a human being. "

You guys know about the theme

parties they had last year?

No? Okay, just to name a few,

"no-fly list. "

"I've been working

on the railroad. "

They want you to build a wall

outside, right outside the frat.

They're like, "he doesn't even

speak English. "

I'm like, "he does

speak English," right?

Okay, guys, you could be

a part of the problem,

or you can be a part

of the revolution, yeah?

What do you guys say

we all come together?

Make it really explosive-

no pun intended-

We're not gonna put up

with any racist bullshit.

We're gonna

take back the night.

Take back the night's

a women's movement.

Don't kill my momentum.

I'm on a roll right now.

Guys, new slogan just for you.

"Token is broken," cool?

Token is broken.

Token is broken.

Token is broken, march!

Token is broken, yeah!

Token is broken!

Come on, black lead the pack!

The Asian trailblazin'!

Whoever you are,

en espaol! Andale!

Token is broken.

Token is broken.

Token is broken.

Token is broken.

Thank god

they're gone, right?

Don't worry, fellas,

I'm one of the good ones.

You know, I would say that

I'm slightly overqualified

for your organization,

but I play golf.

So, I mean, you know, that's

cool, got a hole in one.

- I'm into Polo, both kinds.

- Mm-hmm.

Ultimate frisbee.

As I call it, ultimate frizz.

I was a captain of that

for four years straight.

Turned down hale.

That's Harvard and Yale.

So what do you think?

Pretty good group this year.

Yo, I think I know that guy.

Didn't he, like,

come through here

trying to pretend to be a

fire inspector or some sh*t?

Which g-

oh, come on man,

that's not okay.

You're basically

saying that all

black people

look the same to you.

That's like

the litmus test for racism.

Wha- I'm not

saying that, man.

I'm saying that's the same

black person

who came through here

and stole Eddie's hoverboard.

Oh, and now

he's a thief, hmm?

Will you listen to me, man?

I'm the least racist nigga

you know!

That was out of context, fam.

Like you never

said it, Roger!

What are you thinking?

Fraternities get sued over this

kind of stuff all the time.

Sued for what, man?

He ain't got no damages.

You know me.

How could I hate black people?

- I ride the bus.

- Oh, my god.

Don't talk near him.

You're missing the point, man.

That guy's up to something.

So you give him a bid

if you want, that's cool.

But I'm gonna find out

what it is.

Just stop saying the-

the "n" word.

What are you doing?

I've been working

on my signature move.

From the ropes?

What is this? Ufc or wwe?

- Are you ready?

- Uh, yeah.

Really? Because the last time

you stepped in this ring,

you got your ass handed to you

by a bunch of little kids.

Ooh, with all due respect,

you're like half my weight.

Come on,

buy me dinner first!

Oh! Wait, is this supposed

to hurt or feel good?

Like, what are we-

okay, okay, okay.

- Say uncle.

- You love me?

You said you love me?

I can't hear.

Goddamn it, del, if you

really wanna please a woman,

why don't you please me

and fix the f***ing ac unit?

All right, ma.

Show me that move one more time.

I'm not gonna ask

you again, del!

So you got rid

of your competition.

Sounds like you impressed 'em.

What happens now?

Now all we can do is wait

and hope that my good looks

and charm along with their

white guilt and fear of lawsuits

is enough to get me in.

All right, come on,

one, two.

Yo, I can't believe

we're giving this guy a bid.

Are you guys sure this is it?

Most freshman live in the dorms.

I told you there was

something about this guy.

- So it's off-campus.

- Off-campus?!

This is the ghetto, man.

Technically,

we also live in the ghetto.

True, but that's

the good ghetto.

This is like

the ghetto-ghetto.

Wow, and I thought

you didn't have

- a problem with black people.

- Oh, you c-

that's not fair, all right?

I am drawing an economic

distinction, not a racial one.

Granted, but given

the racially charged history

of this country,

can we really separate-

guys. Hey!

Enough!

Let's all just agree

it's super confusing

being a white male

in today's society, okay?

Now... hoods up.

Oh, yeah.

Kappa Alpha chi or die!

Kappa Alpha chi or die!

Kappa Alpha chi or die!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Watching this movie

last night

made me mad

as a motherf***er.

Y'all have seen amistad?

Mm-hmm.

All right.

Sh*t was crazy.

Yo, check this out.

What the f***?

Watch these niggas.

- Man, where is this sh*t?

- Can't get anything.

It's like the Internet

stops at this neighborhood.

Are you sure

you wrote it down right?

Yeah, the address he gave us

was for that gym back there.

Yo, I told you

he was playing us.

No, don't jump to conclusions.

Let's just ask somebody, okay?

Oh, these guys look like

they know the lay of the land.

Hey! Agh!

Evening, fellas.

Oh, gotta get low.

Low rider.

Uh, we think we might be

a little bit lost here.

I'd say so.

Right? Wondering if you might

be able to help us out, though.

I think we might have

gotten the wrong address.

We're looking for a fella by

the name of Chet buttersworth?

African-American gentlemen.

Not that that means you would

necessarily know him,

but not that it doesn't,

you know?

Skin tone is sort of

right in between

you in the front

and you in the back.

Although with the shadows,

i can't totally tell.

Um, what else,

what else, what else?

Uh, well,

we're here to kidnap him

as part of

our initiation ritual.

Get the f*** out the 'hood,

cracker!

Run! Hey, hey, hey!

Everybody's running!

Bam, okay, here we go.

Time to dance.

No, I'm working, stop.

The work can wait.

It is time to play!

You're gonna get me fired.

You're gonna get me fired.

I know the owner.

You good.

- Look at you.

- Stop. Don't.

Play, play, play, play.

And...

Out of the chair she goes.

And around and around

she goes.

Now I'm gonna teach you

some dance moves.

You're not taking it serious.

Start with the right.

You're gonna fall in love.

Look back there.

- Look back at it. Look back at it.
