00:06:30,020 --> 00:06:31,894
- And I was just going

199
00:06:31,934 --> 00:06:31,980
d

200
00:06:32,020 --> 00:06:32,548
- You did it to me too.

201
00:06:32,588 --> 00:06:33,668
- I did it to you.

202
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,980
- And I was a nervous wreck,

203
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:36,146
and I was like, "Oh, my God!"

204
00:06:36,186 --> 00:06:36,980
- All right, so wait.

205
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:38,980
So my side of that was

206
00:06:39,020 --> 00:06:40,261
when we were on the set

207
00:06:40,301 --> 00:06:40,980
of the pilot,

208
00:06:41,020 --> 00:06:42,784
that was my first time,

209
00:06:42,824 --> 00:06:44,980
like, really doing dialogue.

210
00:06:45,020 --> 00:06:45,348
- So you did

211
00:06:45,388 --> 00:06:46,648
everybody's dialogue?

212
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:47,980
- I learned everybody's.

213
00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:49,980
So it's on the episode.

214
00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:51,061
You can see it on the episodes.

215
00:06:51,101 --> 00:06:51,980
- Oh, yeah, you can see it.

216
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:53,666
- I saw one episode, though,

217
00:06:53,706 --> 00:06:54,980
where you're standing,

218
00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:55,922
like, behind the couch

219
00:06:55,962 --> 00:06:56,980
in the living room scene.

220
00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:57,980
- Yeah?

221
00:06:58,020 --> 00:06:58,434
- And it's you

222
00:06:58,474 --> 00:06:58,980
and whoever else.

223
00:06:59,020 --> 00:07:01,980
- Was that Don Cheadle?

224
00:07:02,020 --> 00:07:02,980
- Tray!

225
00:07:03,020 --> 00:07:03,801
- Prince!

226
00:07:03,841 --> 00:07:04,980
Homey, homey!

227
00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:06,980
[grunting]

228
00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:08,008
- They literally had to show

229
00:07:08,048 --> 00:07:08,980
me, and I was like [gasps].

230
00:07:09,020 --> 00:07:10,988
- That's the one that was like,

231
00:07:11,028 --> 00:07:12,980
"Okay, we need to change this."

232
00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:13,720
- You don't go to school,

233
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:13,980
Ice Tray?

234
00:07:14,020 --> 00:07:14,902
- Oh, sure I do.

235
00:07:14,942 --> 00:07:15,980
I've been held back

236
00:07:16,020 --> 00:07:17,368
in the tenth grade

237
00:07:17,408 --> 00:07:18,980
three times in a row.

238
00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:19,980
- Three times?

239
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:21,980
- Yeah, see, my motto is

240
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:23,869
when I find a grade I like,

241
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:25,000
I stick with it.

242
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,980
I stick with it.

243
00:07:30,020 --> 00:07:31,044
- That's terrible.

244
00:07:31,084 --> 00:07:31,980
That's terrible.

245
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:32,869
Oh, wow.

246
00:07:32,909 --> 00:07:35,980
Oh, that's painful to watch.

247
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:37,000
[laughter]

248
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:38,432
- She was so ugly that

249
00:07:38,472 --> 00:07:38,980
Freddy Krueger used to have

250
00:07:39,020 --> 00:07:40,980
nightmares about her.

251
00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:42,460
- Was it the fifth episode

252
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:43,980
when you finally had enough

253
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:45,152
and you were like--

254
00:07:45,192 --> 00:07:46,980
'cause I remember in rehears--

255
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:47,753
she just looked

256
00:07:47,793 --> 00:07:49,233
and she said, "Stop it!"

257
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,980
[laughter]

258
00:07:51,020 --> 00:07:52,980
I knew everybody's lines.

259
00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:53,785
I would have

260
00:07:53,825 --> 00:07:54,980
played Uncle Phil.

261
00:07:55,020 --> 00:07:55,980
I could have played Aunt Viv.

262
00:07:56,020 --> 00:07:56,825
I was--I knew

263
00:07:56,865 --> 00:07:57,980
everybody's words.

264
00:07:58,020 --> 00:07:59,740
Does anybody remember

265
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:00,980
their audition?

266
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:01,795
- I mean, I remember

267
00:08:01,835 --> 00:08:02,980
very little of it, obviously,

268
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:05,980
but, like, I do remember--

269
00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:06,883
- Oh, no.

270
00:08:06,923 --> 00:08:07,980
- Oh! Ohhh!

271
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:09,244
- Alfonso Ribeiro.

272
00:08:09,284 --> 00:08:10,980
- You're ten, you're ten.

273
00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:11,986
- Whoo!

274
00:08:12,026 --> 00:08:12,980
- Okay.

275
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:14,271
What am I wearing?

276
00:08:14,311 --> 00:08:14,980
[laughter]

277
00:08:15,020 --> 00:08:16,107
What have you been

278
00:08:16,147 --> 00:08:16,980
doing in here?

279
00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:18,980
- Just maxing and relaxing.

280
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:20,180
- I meant what have you been

281
00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:20,980
doing to this room?

282
00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:23,487
- Oh, I'm trying to make it

283
00:08:23,527 --> 00:08:25,980
a little more [indistinct].

284
00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:27,980
Malcolm X, he's my hero.

285
00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:29,640
- Well, he was a great man.

286
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,889
I don't know if I'd call him

287
00:08:31,929 --> 00:08:32,980
my hero exactly.

288
00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:34,828
- Whoa. Wow.

289
00:08:34,868 --> 00:08:34,980
d

290
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:35,735
- All right,

291
00:08:35,775 --> 00:08:36,980
first, I would say--

292
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:38,006
- No, no, we're gonna give

293
00:08:38,046 --> 00:08:38,980
that a moment of silence!

294
00:08:39,020 --> 00:08:40,980
- Okay, yes.

295
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:42,079
I know I didn't go there

296
00:08:42,119 --> 00:08:42,980
wearing a sweat suit

297
00:08:43,020 --> 00:08:44,719
believing that I was gonna

298
00:08:44,759 --> 00:08:45,980
get that character.

299
00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:46,362
I don't know

300
00:08:46,402 --> 00:08:46,980
what I was thinking.

301
00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:47,758
I don't know

302
00:08:47,798 --> 00:08:48,980
how I got that job.

303
00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:49,552
- You know what thought--

304
00:08:49,592 --> 00:08:49,980
- That dude sucked!

305
00:08:50,020 --> 00:08:51,038
[laughter]

306
00:08:51,078 --> 00:08:51,980
- No, no.

307
00:08:52,020 --> 00:08:52,980
- No.

308
00:08:53,020 --> 00:08:54,616
- You are so much fun to watch.

309
00:08:54,656 --> 00:08:55,980
- Yeah, I wanna watch you.

310
00:08:56,020 --> 00:08:57,174
- With everything you do.

311
00:08:57,214 --> 00:08:57,980
- Thank goodness.

312
00:08:58,020 --> 00:08:59,902
I guess somewhere along

313
00:08:59,942 --> 00:09:01,980
the line people were able

314
00:09:02,020 --> 00:09:03,437
to see the magic

315
00:09:03,477 --> 00:09:05,980
that I clearly couldn't see.

316
00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:07,081
- Do you remember

317
00:09:07,121 --> 00:09:07,980
your audition?

318
00:09:08,020 --> 00:09:08,634
- They had me audition

319
00:09:08,674 --> 00:09:09,394
in New York,

320
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,314
and I remember my mom and

321
00:09:11,354 --> 00:09:12,980
my aunties being really excited

322
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:14,174
because I was auditioning

323
00:09:14,214 --> 00:09:14,980
for Quincy Jones.

324
00:09:15,020 --> 00:09:15,980
That was my second call.

325
00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:16,630
- Mm-hmm.

326
00:09:16,670 --> 00:09:16,980
- Oh.

327
00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:17,980
- And they had me rap,

328
00:09:18,020 --> 00:09:19,980
but they had the kids,

329
00:09:20,020 --> 00:09:21,674
like, last-minute,

330
00:09:21,714 --> 00:09:23,000
make up a rap.

331
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:24,980
- A rap?

332
00:09:25,020 --> 00:09:25,600
- Like, I can sing.

333
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:25,980
I can't rap.

334
00:09:26,020 --> 00:09:27,038
Like, that's a whole

335
00:09:27,078 --> 00:09:27,980
'nother skill set.

336
00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:28,861

350
00:09:47,582 --> 00:09:48,980
"This is really horrible."

No, I'm just--

354
00:09:53,427 --> 00:09:54,980
I'm just asking.

355
00:09:55,020 --> 00:09:55,557
Do you--

356
00:09:55,597 --> 00:09:55,980
- Ahh!

357
00:09:56,020 --> 00:09:57,980
- Karyn Parsons.

358
00:09:58,020 --> 00:09:59,165
Lord, have mercy on me,

359
00:09:59,205 --> 00:10:00,165
oh, my goodness.

360
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,980
Dad, I need $300.

361
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:04,257
- Hilary, your cousin

362
00:10:04,297 --> 00:10:04,980
Will's here.

363
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:05,980
- Hi.

364
00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:07,980
Dad, I need $300.

365
00:10:08,020 --> 00:10:08,862
Like, I'm going on the

366
00:10:08,902 --> 00:10:09,980
Save the Ozone celebrity bus

367
00:10:10,020 --> 00:10:11,980
next Saturday,

368
00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:13,748
and it's gonna be Bruce Willis

369
00:10:13,788 --> 00:10:14,980
and Demi and Rob Lowe

370
00:10:15,020 --> 00:10:17,042
and Emilio Estevez

371
00:10:17,082 --> 00:10:18,980
or Charlie Sheen,

372
00:10:19,020 --> 00:10:20,980
I don't remember which.

373
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:21,504
- Wow.

374
00:10:21,544 --> 00:10:22,980
That's beautiful.

375
00:10:23,020 --> 00:10:24,980
d

376
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:26,090
- I auditioned a lot.

377
00:10:26,130 --> 00:10:26,980
- Did you really?

378
00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:28,225
- I auditioned a lot,

379
00:10:28,265 --> 00:10:29,980
and I remember the network one

380
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:31,980
because it was down to--

381
00:10:32,020 --> 00:10:32,854
there were, like,

382
00:10:32,894 --> 00:10:33,980
you know, two Hilarys,

383
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:35,980
and I was so nervous,

384
00:10:36,020 --> 00:10:37,317
and I caught my reflection

385
00:10:37,357 --> 00:10:37,980
in something,

386
00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:39,986
and I remember I kinda

387
00:10:40,026 --> 00:10:41,980
started primping and--

388
00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:44,000
[laughter]

389
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,401
And it was like,

390
00:10:45,441 --> 00:10:45,980
I started feeling her.

391
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:46,565
She started, like,

392
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:47,385
coming over--

393
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,592
- They're like, "You got it.

394
00:10:48,632 --> 00:10:48,980
You got the role!"

395
00:10:49,020 --> 00:10:50,616
- No, but you could

396
00:10:50,656 --> 00:10:51,980
absolutely see--

397
00:10:52,020 --> 00:10:52,980
see the Hilary.

398
00:10:53,020 --> 00:10:54,075
- That was Hilary.

399
00:10:54,115 --> 00:10:54,980
- Come to life.

400
00:10:55,020 --> 00:10:56,987
Even as little as the way

401
00:10:57,027 --> 00:10:58,980
you held your bottom jaw.

402
00:10:59,020 --> 00:11:00,500
- Yeah, yeah, it's like--

403
00:11:00,540 --> 00:11:00,980
- Right?

404
00:11:01,020 --> 00:11:02,386
Like, it was so just,

405
00:11:02,426 --> 00:11:02,980
like, ha.

406
00:11:03,020 --> 00:11:04,831
- I'm in a bad mood, and

407
00:11:04,871 --> 00:11:06,980
somebody is going to suffer.

408
00:11:07,020 --> 00:11:09,091
- I didn't go to the audition

409
00:11:09,131 --> 00:11:10,980
in 1990 because they said,

410
00:11:11,020 --> 00:11:13,367
"Oh, we want you to audition

411
00:11:13,407 --> 00:11:14,980
for this new sitcom

412
00:11:15,020 --> 00:11:15,867
with a rapper."

413
00:11:15,907 --> 00:11:16,980
I said, "Mm, pass."

414
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:19,980
[laughter]

415
00:11:20,020 --> 00:11:21,815
I said, "Um, um,

416
00:11:21,855 --> 00:11:23,980
thank you, no, no."

417
00:11:24,020 --> 00:11:24,441
And I left,

418
00:11:24,481 --> 00:11:24,980
and I watched

419
00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:26,980
the show come on in September.

420
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:28,144
I said, "Oh, damn,

421
00:11:28,184 --> 00:11:28,980
that's cute."

422
00:11:29,020 --> 00:11:29,980
[laughter]

423
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:31,561
- Got this whole town

424
00:11:31,601 --> 00:11:32,980
of Bel-Air buzzing.

425
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:33,880
- Get a load of me

426
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,980
and my rapping cousin!

427
00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:36,980
- Yeah, you know.

428
00:11:37,020 --> 00:11:40,191
So Quincy Jones basically

429
00:11:40,231 --> 00:11:42,000
steamrolled me

430
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:43,980
through the whole process

431
00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:45,378
without ever really

432
00:11:45,418 --> 00:11:46,980
auditioning me, right?

433
00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:49,588
So the only kind of audition

434
00:11:49,628 --> 00:11:50,980
I had was the--

435
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:54,000
Quincy's birthday.

436
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,980
The show was an idea.

437
00:11:56,020 --> 00:11:56,877
Benny Medina had

438
00:11:56,917 --> 00:11:57,980
pitched me the idea,

439
00:11:58,020 --> 00:11:58,834
and it's like,

440
00:11:58,874 --> 00:11:59,980
I was making music,

441
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:00,868
and they were like,

442
00:12:00,908 --> 00:12:01,980
"Come to Quincy's house.

443
00:12:02,020 --> 00:12:03,049
We have this idea

444
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:03,980
for a TV show."

445
00:12:04,020 --> 00:12:05,980
I'm like, "Okay," you know?

446
00:12:06,020 --> 00:12:07,980
- "I'll go to Quincy's."

447
00:12:08,020 --> 00:12:09,980
So I got to Quincy's house,

448
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:11,487
and Benny Medina pitched me

449
00:12:11,527 --> 00:12:12,980
the whole idea of the show,

450
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:13,943
and he's like, you know,

451
00:12:13,983 --> 00:12:14,980
"We have this--this idea,"

452
00:12:15,020 --> 00:12:15,886
'cause it was based

453
00:12:15,926 --> 00:12:16,980
on Benny Medina's life.

454
00:12:17,020 --> 00:12:18,980
- His life, right.

455
00:12:19,020 --> 00:12:19,523
- He went from Watts

456
00:12:19,563 --> 00:12:19,980
to Beverly Hills.

457
00:12:20,020 --> 00:12:20,836
So I'm like, "Cool,"

458
00:12:20,876 --> 00:12:21,980
so we go to Quincy's house,

459
00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:23,201
and Benny's like,

460
00:12:23,241 --> 00:12:24,980
"Hey, you know, this is--

461
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:26,580
this is the Fresh Prince."

462
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,311
Quincy said,

463
00:12:27,351 --> 00:12:27,980
"I know who that boy is.

464
00:12:28,020 --> 00:12:28,951
I seen his stuff," you know?

465
00:12:28,991 --> 00:12:29,980
"Hey, come on in. Come on in."

466
00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:31,980
So Quincy, it's his birthday.

467
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:32,961
He had been tasting

468
00:12:33,001 --> 00:12:33,980
a little bit, right?

469
00:12:34,020 --> 00:12:34,985
So he was--he was

470
00:12:35,025 --> 00:12:35,980
wetting his beak.

471
00:12:36,020 --> 00:12:36,980
He wet his beak, right?

472
00:12:37,020 --> 00:12:38,334
So he--you know, he's like,

473
00:12:38,374 --> 00:12:38,980
"Come on in."

474
00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:39,711
So we go in,

475
00:12:39,751 --> 00:12:40,980
and he said--he said,

476
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:41,772
"Where you from?"

477
00:12:41,812 --> 00:12:42,980
I said, "I'm from Philly."

478
00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:44,317
He said, "Your character's

479
00:12:44,357 --> 00:12:44,980
from Philly."

480
00:12:45,020 --> 00:12:45,867
"Oh."

481
00:12:45,907 --> 00:12:47,980
Like, "Okay.

482
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:49,160
Give me a glass of whatever

483
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:49,980
Quincy's drinking."

484
00:12:50,020 --> 00:12:51,980
Right?

485
00:12:52,020 --> 00:12:52,738
So it's like--

486
00:12:52,778 --> 00:12:53,980
it's Quincy's birthday,

487
00:12:54,020 --> 00:12:54,434
so it's like--

488
00:12:54,474 --> 00:12:54,980
it's a big party,

489
00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:56,441
so everybody's in there,

490
00:12:56,481 --> 00:12:56,980
you know?

491
00:12:57,020 --> 00:12:58,980
So it was Brandon Tartikoff,

492
00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:00,980
who's the head of NBC,

493
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:02,210
Warren Littlefield,

494
00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:02,980
all of that.

495
00:13:03,020 --> 00:13:04,185
So everybody gets in the room,

496
00:13:04,225 --> 00:13:04,980
and Quincy, he says,

497
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:05,303
"Hey!

498
00:13:05,343 --> 00:13:06,980
Clear the living room out!

499
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:08,006
Clear the living room out!

500
00:13:08,046 --> 00:13:08,980
We gonna do an audition."

501
00:13:09,020 --> 00:13:09,949
- Oh, man.

502
00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:11,980
- You like go, "Who?"

503
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:12,609
- Right, I'm saying,

504
00:13:12,649 --> 00:13:12,980
"Who? Who--"

505
00:13:13,020 --> 00:13:14,276
Yeah, "Who's gonna audition?"

506
00:13:14,316 --> 00:13:14,980
And he was like,

507
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:15,841
"Yeah, you got it.

508
00:13:15,881 --> 00:13:16,980
You got it. You got it."

509
00:13:17,020 --> 00:13:19,345
I said, "Q, Q, no, no,"

510
00:13:19,385 --> 00:13:20,980
and he grabs me,

511
00:13:21,020 --> 00:13:21,894
and he takes me

512
00:13:21,934 --> 00:13:22,980
in the other room,

513
00:13:23,020 --> 00:13:24,135
and he sits me down

514
00:13:24,175 --> 00:13:24,980
in his office,

515
00:13:25,020 --> 00:13:27,915
and there's a 48 million

516
00:13:27,955 --> 00:13:29,980
"Thriller" thing.

517
00:13:30,020 --> 00:13:31,980
There's a "Color Purple,"

518
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:34,704
and he sits me under this

519
00:13:34,744 --> 00:13:36,980
70 Grammys, you know,

520
00:13:37,020 --> 00:13:38,624
this Em--and I'm sitting under

521
00:13:38,664 --> 00:13:39,980
all of that stuff, like--

522
00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:42,041
and Michael's looking down

523
00:13:42,081 --> 00:13:42,980
on me like--

524
00:13:43,020 --> 00:13:45,980
[laughter]

525
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:47,980
So Quincy says,

526
00:13:48,020 --> 00:13:49,373
"Okay, what do you need?"

527
00:13:49,413 --> 00:13:49,980
and I said,

528
00:13:50,020 --> 00:13:51,350
"Quincy, I'm the--I don't

529
00:13:51,390 --> 00:13:52,980
know how to--I'm not an actor.

530
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:54,341
"I just--just give me

531
00:13:54,381 --> 00:13:54,980
two weeks,

532
00:13:55,020 --> 00:13:57,257
"Let me find an acting coach,

533
00:13:57,297 --> 00:13:58,980
and let me work on it,

534
00:13:59,020 --> 00:14:00,141
and then let's just set up

535
00:14:00,181 --> 00:14:00,980
a proper audition."

536
00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:02,026
He said, "Oh, so two weeks.

537
00:14:02,066 --> 00:14:02,980
You only need two weeks?"

538
00:14:03,020 --> 00:14:04,097
I said, "Yeah, yeah,

539
00:14:04,137 --> 00:14:04,980
just two weeks."

540
00:14:05,020 --> 00:14:06,980
He said, "So here's the deal.

541
00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:08,980
"Right now everybody

542
00:14:09,020 --> 00:14:10,307
"that needs to say yes

543
00:14:10,347 --> 00:14:11,980
for this show is sitting out

544
00:14:12,020 --> 00:14:13,228
in that living room

545
00:14:13,268 --> 00:14:14,980
right now waiting for you."

546
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:15,980
- It's now.

547
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:17,980
- And I was like--

548
00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:18,985
I was like,

549
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:20,980
"Give me ten minutes."

550
00:14:21,020 --> 00:14:22,025
And he's like, "All right!

551
00:14:22,065 --> 00:14:22,980
Audition in ten minutes!

552
00:14:23,020 --> 00:14:24,980
Audition in ten minutes!"

553
00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:26,980
- Far out.

554
00:14:27,020 --> 00:14:27,652
- They did a deal memo

555
00:14:27,692 --> 00:14:27,980
that night.

556
00:14:28,020 --> 00:14:29,681
That's how we got

557
00:14:29,721 --> 00:14:31,980
to the pilot that fast.

558
00:14:32,020 --> 00:14:32,504
- Whoa.

559
00:14:32,544 --> 00:14:33,980
- How is it possible

560
00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:34,929
I've known you this long

561
00:14:34,969 --> 00:14:35,980
and never heard that story?

562
00:14:36,020 --> 00:14:36,345
- I know.

563
00:14:36,385 --> 00:14:36,980
- I know, right?

564
00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:38,044
- Do you remember,

565
00:14:38,084 --> 00:14:38,980
we were on tour?

566
00:14:39,020 --> 00:14:39,980
- We were in Detroit, yep.

567
00:14:40,020 --> 00:14:40,958
- We were on tour

568
00:14:40,998 --> 00:14:41,980
and had a day off.

569
00:14:42,020 --> 00:14:42,347
- Yep.

570
00:14:42,387 --> 00:14:43,980
- And Will flew and came...

571
00:14:44,020 --> 00:14:44,571
- To go to

572
00:14:44,611 --> 00:14:45,980
"The Arsenio Hall Show."

573
00:14:46,020 --> 00:14:48,236
- And said, "I got a TV show."

574
00:14:48,276 --> 00:14:49,000
[laughter]

575
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,524
Being from Philly,

576
00:14:51,564 --> 00:14:52,980
"I got a TV show"

577
00:14:53,020 --> 00:14:53,850
was a homeboy

578
00:14:53,890 --> 00:14:54,980

You eat here never.

about 150 takes

875

879
00:23:27,067 --> 00:23:27,980
to torture me anymore,

880
00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:30,016
so that's the reason why they

881
00:23:30,056 --> 00:23:31,980
started using the same shot,

882
00:23:32,020 --> 00:23:33,760
and then that became a thing,

883
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,314

897
00:23:51,559 --> 00:23:52,980
right away of my favorite

898
00:23:53,020 --> 00:23:53,980
is when you lost your mind

899
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:54,509

how to do that?

00:29:59,555 --> 00:29:59,980
- Say this line.

1157
00:30:00,020 --> 00:30:00,567
- Yeah.

1158
00:30:00,607 --> 00:30:01,980
- Move over here.

1159
00:30:02,020 --> 00:30:03,967
- At some point the producers

1160
00:30:04,007 --> 00:30:04,980
and the writers

1161
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:06,486
wanted to make Hilary

1162
00:30:06,526 --> 00:30:07,980
a strong Black woman.

1163
00:30:08,020 --> 00:30:09,420
They wanted to, like,

1164
00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:10,980
see that switch in her,

1165
00:30:11,020 --> 00:30:12,386
and then I felt like,

1166
00:30:12,426 --> 00:30:12,980
you know,

1167
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:14,561
there are some people

1168
00:30:14,601 --> 00:30:15,980
who are just flawed

1169
00:30:16,020 --> 00:30:17,980
and see things a certain way,

1170
00:30:18,020 --> 00:30:19,852
and you can learn a lot

1171
00:30:19,892 --> 00:30:20,980
from them too.

1172
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:22,980
Look, I'm a career woman.

1173
00:30:23,020 --> 00:30:24,580
I don't have time to dust

1174
00:30:24,620 --> 00:30:25,980
and push around that--

1175
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:26,986
oh, what do you call

1176
00:30:27,026 --> 00:30:27,980
that big, loud thing

1177
00:30:28,020 --> 00:30:29,980
that sucks up everything?

1178
00:30:30,020 --> 00:30:33,013
- We were able to share

1179
00:30:33,053 --> 00:30:34,980
the experience,

1180
00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:37,302
the real experience

1181
00:30:37,342 --> 00:30:39,980
and gave those writers

1182
00:30:40,020 --> 00:30:40,680
our perspective.

1183
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:40,980
- Yeah.

1184
00:30:41,020 --> 00:30:43,730
- You can put your hands

1185
00:30:43,770 --> 00:30:44,980
down, Jazz.

1186
00:30:45,020 --> 00:30:45,675
- No way.

1187
00:30:45,715 --> 00:30:46,980
Dude's got a gun.

1188
00:30:47,020 --> 00:30:48,870
Next thing you know, I got

1189
00:30:48,910 --> 00:30:51,000
six warning shots in my back.

1190
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,047
When we did

1191
00:30:53,087 --> 00:30:54,980
the courtroom scene,

1192
00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:56,580
there was a level

1193
00:30:56,620 --> 00:30:57,980
of truth to it.

1194
00:30:58,020 --> 00:30:58,472
That's the reason

1195
00:30:58,512 --> 00:30:58,980
why they wrote it.

1196
00:30:59,020 --> 00:31:01,261
I'm putting

1197
00:31:01,301 --> 00:31:04,980
my hands down now.

1198
00:31:05,020 --> 00:31:05,825
- Part of the power

1199
00:31:05,865 --> 00:31:06,980
of what we would always do

1200
00:31:07,020 --> 00:31:08,980
with "The Fresh Prince,"

1201
00:31:09,020 --> 00:31:10,681
there would be

1202
00:31:10,721 --> 00:31:12,980
very powerful ideas

1203
00:31:13,020 --> 00:31:14,233
under the jokes

1204
00:31:14,273 --> 00:31:15,980
and under the comedy.

1205
00:31:16,020 --> 00:31:17,515
- You can wear the T-shirts,

1206
00:31:17,555 --> 00:31:18,980
you can put up the posters,

1207
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:19,980
and you can shout the slogans,

1208
00:31:20,020 --> 00:31:21,254
but unless you know

1209
00:31:21,294 --> 00:31:22,980
all the history behind it,

1210
00:31:23,020 --> 00:31:24,451
you're trivializing

1211
00:31:24,491 --> 00:31:25,980
the entire struggle.

1212
00:31:26,020 --> 00:31:27,399
- That is one of those things

1213
00:31:27,439 --> 00:31:28,159
that I think

1214
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,980
kinda makes people understand

1215
00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:32,226
just how groundbreaking

1216
00:31:32,266 --> 00:31:32,980
this show was.

1217
00:31:33,020 --> 00:31:35,980
- It is as relevant today

1218
00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:38,470
as it was 30 years ago,

1219
00:31:38,510 --> 00:31:39,980
unfortunately.

1220
00:31:40,020 --> 00:31:41,880
- Whenever we would come

1221
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,980
across moments

1222
00:31:43,020 --> 00:31:44,624
that they wrote that was like,

1223
00:31:44,664 --> 00:31:45,980
"This wouldn't happen..."

1224
00:31:46,020 --> 00:31:46,805
- Right.

1225
00:31:46,845 --> 00:31:49,980
- "Black people don't do this."

1226
00:31:50,020 --> 00:31:51,129
- Right.

1227
00:31:51,169 --> 00:31:51,980
- Yes.

1228
00:31:52,020 --> 00:31:53,433
- Tuesday and Wednesday is

1229
00:31:53,473 --> 00:31:54,980
what made this show special,

1230
00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:57,445
because we made sure that we

1231
00:31:57,485 --> 00:32:00,000
were authentic every episode.

1232
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,815
- I had spent a career

1233
00:32:02,855 --> 00:32:03,980
being on shows

1234
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:05,552
that showed the variety

1235
00:32:05,592 --> 00:32:06,980
of the Black culture,

1236
00:32:07,020 --> 00:32:09,016
showing that we were not just

1237
00:32:09,056 --> 00:32:10,980
a monolithic group of people

1238
00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:12,241
with one idea

1239
00:32:12,281 --> 00:32:13,980
and one lifestyle,

1240
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:14,980
and when I got here,

1241
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,244
we had the freedom

1242
00:32:16,284 --> 00:32:17,980
to express to the writers

1243
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:19,945
the cultural aspects of what

1244
00:32:19,985 --> 00:32:21,980
they had in the written word.

1245
00:32:22,020 --> 00:32:24,015
I remember a table read

1246
00:32:24,055 --> 00:32:24,980
one Monday,

1247
00:32:25,020 --> 00:32:26,915
and there was some line that

1248
00:32:26,955 --> 00:32:28,980
they had given Tatyana to say,

1249
00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:30,980
and I said, "Excuse me,

1250
00:32:31,020 --> 00:32:32,980
if Tatyana says that

1251
00:32:33,020 --> 00:32:33,724
to her daddy,

1252
00:32:33,764 --> 00:32:34,980
she'd lose her teeth."

1253
00:32:35,020 --> 00:32:35,850
- Yeah, yeah,

1254
00:32:35,890 --> 00:32:36,980
exactly, exactly.

1255
00:32:37,020 --> 00:32:38,064
- So no, culturally,

1256
00:32:38,104 --> 00:32:38,980
we don't do that.

1257
00:32:39,020 --> 00:32:39,886
- James used to sit

1258
00:32:39,926 --> 00:32:41,306
where you're sitting...

1259
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,179
- Yep.

1260
00:32:42,219 --> 00:32:42,980
- That was James's spot.

1261
00:32:43,020 --> 00:32:45,980
- During those note sessions,

1262
00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:47,726
and that is where I learned

1263
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:47,980
that

1264
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:52,980
what we do is not for us.

1265
00:32:53,020 --> 00:32:55,980
It's not about us.

1266
00:32:56,020 --> 00:32:57,084
We are here

1267

1268
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:00,980

1269
00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:04,700
- To represent, to expand,

00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:06,980
to push forward,

1271
00:33:07,020 --> 00:33:09,613
and I learned that here

1272
00:33:09,653 --> 00:33:10,980

- As you wish, Father.

1285
00:33:32,020 --> 00:33:33,987
- James had a very deep love

1286
00:33:34,027 --> 00:33:34,980
of jazz music,

1287
00:33:35,020 --> 00:33:36,291
and I would spend a lot

1288
00:33:36,331 --> 00:33:37,980
of times in his dressing room,

1289
00:33:38,020 --> 00:33:39,980
and he would give me jazz CDs.

1290
00:33:40,020 --> 00:33:41,486

was coming out of his room

1299
00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:53,460
was always just amazing.

1300
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,480
- Ashley, honey,

1301
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:54,980
this is possibly

1302
00:33:55,020 --> 00:33:56,283

I learned what it means

1306
00:34:01,466 --> 00:34:02,980
to be an artist from him.

1307
00:34:03,020 --> 00:34:04,298
- Learning that there's

1308
00:34:04,338 --> 00:34:05,058
other works,

00:34:56,020 --> 00:34:56,987
- You know, that history,

1346
00:34:57,027 --> 00:34:57,980
and those notes sessions,

1347
00:34:58,020 --> 00:34:59,346
that's where I went to school,

1348
00:34:59,386 --> 00:34:59,980
like, that's--

1349
00:35:00,020 --> 00:35:00,803
- And that was--

1350
00:35:00,843 --> 00:35:01,980
no, that was the thing.

1351
00:35:02,020 --> 00:35:06,980
James, he pushed me so hard.

1352
00:35:07,020 --> 00:35:08,980
- You think you're so wise.

1353
00:35:09,020 --> 00:35:09,867
Look at me

1354
00:35:09,907 --> 00:35:12,000
when I'm talking to you.

1355
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,980
Let me tell you something, son.

1356
00:35:16,020 --> 00:35:17,248
I grew up on the streets

1357
00:35:17,288 --> 00:35:18,128
just like you.

1358
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,448
I encountered bigotry

1359
00:35:20,488 --> 00:35:21,980
you could not imagine.

1360
00:35:22,020 --> 00:35:24,020
Now, you have a nice poster

1361
00:35:24,060 --> 00:35:25,980
of Malcolm X on your wall.

1362
00:35:26,020 --> 00:35:28,980
I heard the brother speak.

1363
00:35:29,020 --> 00:35:31,980
I read every word he wrote.

1364
00:35:32,020 --> 00:35:32,904
Believe me,

1365
00:35:32,944 --> 00:35:35,000
I know where I come from.

1366
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,936
- His thing was that I am

1367
00:35:37,976 --> 00:35:39,980
in such a unique position,

1368
00:35:40,020 --> 00:35:42,754
and that responsibility,

1369
00:35:42,794 --> 00:35:45,980
you must elevate your craft.

1370
00:35:46,020 --> 00:35:47,392
You have to represent,

1371
00:35:47,432 --> 00:35:48,980
and you are paving a way,

1372
00:35:49,020 --> 00:35:50,097
and he just wouldn't

1373
00:35:50,137 --> 00:35:50,980
give me an inch,

1374
00:35:51,020 --> 00:35:53,229
and I remember in the--

1375
00:35:53,269 --> 00:35:54,980
one of my favorite

1376
00:35:55,020 --> 00:35:57,134
and most famous scenes

1377
00:35:57,174 --> 00:35:58,980
from "Fresh Prince"

1378
00:35:59,020 --> 00:36:00,340
is the father episode.

1379
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,344
Hey, what's up, man?

1380
00:36:02,384 --> 00:36:03,980
Can I get you something?

1381
00:36:04,020 --> 00:36:06,000
- No, I'm fine, son.

1382
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
- Um, if you need--

1383
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
- So is he a cop?

1384
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:19,980
- He's my father.

1385
00:36:20,020 --> 00:36:21,980
So, you know, James Avery

1386
00:36:22,020 --> 00:36:24,980
was this 6'4",

1387
00:36:25,020 --> 00:36:27,980
300-pound...

1388
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:29,486
- Plus.

1389
00:36:29,526 --> 00:36:30,980
- Yeah.

1390
00:36:31,020 --> 00:36:33,146
- Stage-trained...

1391
00:36:33,186 --> 00:36:33,980
- Yeah.

1392
00:36:34,020 --> 00:36:36,980
- Shakespearean beast, right?

1393
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:39,018
And I'm--I'm the little rapper

1394
00:36:39,058 --> 00:36:40,980
from Philly under him, right?

1395
00:36:41,020 --> 00:36:42,728
And I wanted him to think

1396
00:36:42,768 --> 00:36:43,980
I was good so bad.

1397
00:36:44,020 --> 00:36:44,441
- You wanted him

1398
00:36:44,481 --> 00:36:44,980
to be proud of you.

1399
00:36:45,020 --> 00:36:45,861
- I wanted him

1400
00:36:45,901 --> 00:36:46,980
to be proud of me,

1401
00:36:47,020 --> 00:36:48,280
so the episode comes,

1402
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,146
and, you know,

1403
00:36:50,186 --> 00:36:51,980
we come to that scene,

1404
00:36:52,020 --> 00:36:53,820
and I was like, I'm--you know,

1405
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,890
I wanna deliver

1406
00:36:54,930 --> 00:36:55,980
this scene so bad,

1407
00:36:56,020 --> 00:36:57,319
and if you remember,

1408
00:36:57,359 --> 00:36:58,980
in front of the audience,

1409
00:36:59,020 --> 00:37:01,918
I flubbed my line

1410
00:37:01,958 --> 00:37:03,980
on the take.

1411
00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:04,980
- Mm-hmm.

1412
00:37:05,020 --> 00:37:05,874
- And I messed it up

1413
00:37:05,914 --> 00:37:07,414
in front of the audience,

1414
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,929
and my mind snapped,

1415
00:37:09,969 --> 00:37:11,980
and I'm like, "Aghh!"

1416
00:37:12,020 --> 00:37:13,483
I'm like,

1417
00:37:13,523 --> 00:37:15,980
"Ahh! Damn it!"

1418
00:37:16,020 --> 00:37:17,484
And James says,

1419
00:37:17,524 --> 00:37:17,980
"Hey!

1420
00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:19,980
Right here!"

1421
00:37:20,020 --> 00:37:21,837
and I was like--and

1422
00:37:21,877 --> 00:37:24,000
he was like, "Use me!"

1423
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:26,807
And I'm like--

1424
00:37:26,847 --> 00:37:27,980
and I'm right there,

1425
00:37:28,020 --> 00:37:29,065
and he takes, and he's like,

1426
00:37:29,105 --> 00:37:30,545
"Get yourself together,"

1427
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,143
And I get it together,

1428
00:37:32,183 --> 00:37:32,980
and I'm looking,

1429
00:37:33,020 --> 00:37:33,980
and he says, "Action."

1430
00:37:34,020 --> 00:37:34,980
- I'm sorry, I--

1431
00:37:35,020 --> 00:37:35,883
You know, if there was

1432
00:37:35,923 --> 00:37:36,980
something that I could do--

1433
00:37:37,020 --> 00:37:38,004
- Hey, you know what? You ain't

1434
00:37:38,044 --> 00:37:38,980
got to do nothing, Uncle Phil.

1435
00:37:39,020 --> 00:37:40,624
You know, ain't like I'm still

1436
00:37:40,664 --> 00:37:41,980
five years old, you know?

1437
00:37:42,020 --> 00:37:43,036
Ain't like I'ma be sitting up

1438
00:37:43,076 --> 00:37:43,980
every night asking my mom,

1439
00:37:44,020 --> 00:37:45,604
"When is Daddy coming home?"

1440
00:37:45,644 --> 00:37:46,980
You know? Who needs him?

1441
00:37:47,020 --> 00:37:48,980
And the scene that we do

1442
00:37:49,020 --> 00:37:51,754
is the scene that ended up

1443
00:37:51,794 --> 00:37:53,980
being in the episode.

1444
00:37:54,020 --> 00:37:54,922
I ain't need him then,

1445
00:37:54,962 --> 00:37:55,980
and I don't need him now.

1446
00:37:56,020 --> 00:37:56,980
- Will, Will--

1447
00:37:57,020 --> 00:37:58,297
- Nah, you know what,

1448
00:37:58,337 --> 00:37:58,980
Uncle Phil?

1449
00:37:59,020 --> 00:38:00,319
I'ma get through college

1450
00:38:00,359 --> 00:38:00,980
without him.

1451
00:38:01,020 --> 00:38:01,600
I'm get a great job

1452
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:01,980
without him.

1453
00:38:02,020 --> 00:38:02,825
I'ma marry me

1454
00:38:02,865 --> 00:38:03,980
a beautiful honey,

1455
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:04,826
and I'ma have me

1456
00:38:04,866 --> 00:38:05,980
a whole bunch of kids.

1457
00:38:06,020 --> 00:38:06,560
I'ma be a better father

1458
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:06,980
than he ever was!

1459
00:38:07,020 --> 00:38:07,858
And I sure as hell

1460
00:38:07,898 --> 00:38:08,980
don't need him for that

1461
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:10,046
'cause ain't a damn thing

1462
00:38:10,086 --> 00:38:10,980
he could ever teach me

1463
00:38:11,020 --> 00:38:13,000
about how to love my kids!

1464
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
d

1465
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,680
How come he don't

1466
00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:23,000
want me, man?

1467
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,480
And I fall into his arms

1468
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:27,980
at the end of the scene,

1469
00:38:28,020 --> 00:38:30,980
and he's holding me,

1470
00:38:31,020 --> 00:38:31,861
and, you know,

1471
00:38:31,901 --> 00:38:32,980
the shot pans off,

1472
00:38:33,020 --> 00:38:33,602
and he whispered

1473
00:38:33,642 --> 00:38:33,980
in my ear,

1474
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:34,869
he said,

1475
00:38:34,909 --> 00:38:37,980
"Now, that's acting," right?

1476
00:38:38,020 --> 00:38:38,980
- That's right.

1477
00:38:39,020 --> 00:38:40,336
- "That's acting,"

1478
00:38:40,376 --> 00:38:41,980
and I was like, "Ahh!"

1479
00:38:42,020 --> 00:38:43,980
[laughter]

1480
00:38:44,020 --> 00:38:44,951
You know, every single time.

1481
00:38:44,991 --> 00:38:46,791
- I cry every time I see that.

1482
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,359
- Every single time,

1483
00:38:48,399 --> 00:38:48,980
you know?

1484
00:38:49,020 --> 00:38:51,390
And it's like, he just--

1485
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:53,000
he, um--he, uh--

1486
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,226
it's like--oh, come on.

1487
00:38:56,266 --> 00:38:56,980
Don't do this.

1488
00:38:57,020 --> 00:38:58,246
- I know, I'm s--

1489
00:38:58,286 --> 00:38:58,980
I'm sorry.

1490
00:38:59,020 --> 00:39:00,980
- Tatyana throwing me off.

1491
00:39:01,020 --> 00:39:03,980
[laughter]

1492
00:39:04,020 --> 00:39:06,000
And it's like, when--

1493
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,980
it's like, people do--

1494
00:39:08,020 --> 00:39:09,900
people don't even know

1495
00:39:09,940 --> 00:39:11,980
when they're shaping you

1496
00:39:12,020 --> 00:39:12,920
and forming you

1497
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:13,980
and crafting you.

1498
00:39:14,020 --> 00:39:14,629
- He knew.

1499
00:39:14,669 --> 00:39:15,980
- In that w--he knew.

1500
00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:17,187
No, that's what I'm saying.

1501
00:39:17,227 --> 00:39:17,980
- I think he knew.

1502
00:39:18,020 --> 00:39:19,980
- He knew what he was doing.

1503
00:39:20,020 --> 00:39:20,538
- There's some people

1504
00:39:20,578 --> 00:39:20,980
that plant seeds.

1505
00:39:21,020 --> 00:39:21,409
- Yep.

1506
00:39:21,449 --> 00:39:22,980
- That's what they do.

1507
00:39:23,020 --> 00:39:24,740
And they do it to anyone

1508
00:39:24,780 --> 00:39:25,980
they come across.

1509
00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:27,585
- I mean, he was--

1510
00:39:27,625 --> 00:39:29,980
he was proud of who he was.

1511
00:39:30,020 --> 00:39:30,980
He was proud of his race.

1512
00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:32,370
He was proud of the history

1513
00:39:32,410 --> 00:39:32,980
of his race.

1514
00:39:33,020 --> 00:39:34,980
- Yes.

1515
00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:35,744
- And, you know,

1516
00:39:35,784 --> 00:39:36,980
he could see it, you know?

1517
00:39:37,020 --> 00:39:37,688
And it fell upon you,

1518
00:39:37,728 --> 00:39:37,980
you know?

1519
00:39:38,020 --> 00:39:39,927
It fell upon you

1520
00:39:39,967 --> 00:39:41,980
to grab the rein.

1521
00:39:42,020 --> 00:39:42,980
- Vote for Philip Banks.

1522
00:39:43,020 --> 00:39:45,980
Philip Banks.

1523
00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:47,980
Break out Lucille.

1524
00:39:48,020 --> 00:39:48,980
[laughter]

1525
00:39:49,020 --> 00:39:51,980
[upbeat music]

1526
00:39:52,020 --> 00:39:54,235
I've got a few questions

1527
00:39:54,275 --> 00:39:54,980
for you.

1528
00:39:55,020 --> 00:39:55,666
When you got

1529
00:39:55,706 --> 00:39:56,980
this alleged confession

1530
00:39:57,020 --> 00:39:57,876
