The Boondocks · Season 1, Episode 15

Jazmine, Huey and others in “Unfinished Business”

Oh, Huey! You’ve got a lunch meeting at 11:30 about the sound effects for the dog fight sequence.

Cancel it.

The PTA is threatening a boycott of the play since you fired all the kids.

(yawning) Don’t care.

And... the principal is in your office to talk about the script.

Who?

(later, in Huey's office)

PPrincipal

First of all, I just wanted you to know we’re thrilled with the script.

W1Woman 1

Absolutely fantastic.

W2Woman 2

Brilliant. Wouldn’t change a thing.

PPrincipal

We just had a couple of notes.

W1Woman 1

One or two.

W2Woman 2

Nothing significant.

PPrincipal

(flipping through the script) Lets see, uh, there’s a typo on page five; uh, there’s a continuity problem on page 32 — I think that scene’s supposed to be at night — and, let's see, umm... oh yeah, um, and, uh, Jesus can’t be black.

What do you mean he can’t be black?

PPrincipal

He can't be black. Maybe we can make Jesus another color.

W1Woman 1

How bout white?

But Jesus was black.

W2Woman 2

We could probably do Italian.

PPrincipal

Jesus was Middle Eastern.

In addition to Arabs, the Middle East has always had many people of African descent, whom you would consider black.

PPrincipal

Sorry, can’t do it.

(Clears throat, presents contract)

PPrincipal

Oh right, that. (he tears it to pieces)

PPrincipal

(leaving) Best of luck.

W1Woman 1

(leaving) Break a leg.

W2Woman 2

(leaving) I can't wait for opening night.

(camera shows a disappointed Huey with a poster behind him that reveals the chosen title for his play: The Adventures of Black Jesus)
