Kit is talking with his agent on the patio of the Rodeo Grille. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I know I ain’t gonna be treated like Mighty Whitey in this town,” says Kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, across the street, Carol is getting ready for her scene. “I put in 25 years in the theater before coming to Hollywood,” says Carol to her hair and makeup person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bowfinger runs up to Carol, and is shocked to see her in a bald cap, sitting next to her wig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Carol, we are almost ready,” says Bowfinger, recovering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My darling,” says Carol, “I still don’t see why I can’t meet the man I’m going to be working with.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Well, I just spoke with Kit,” says Bowfinger. “He wants to impress you so much with his acting, and he needs his total concentration.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Oh, that’s just young!” says Carol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I know,” agrees Bowfinger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I wish just once I could work with someone who had honed their craft,” says Carol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Right,” says Bowfinger. “But right now, we need that scene, Carol.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You’ll get your scene,” says Carol. “He may not be a professional, but I am.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Oh, Carol,” says Bowfinger, kissing her before running back to the camera van. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“White boys get all the Oscars,” continues Kit at the restaurant. “It’s a\u2026 it’s a fact.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We know that, but look, look-” begins Kit’s agent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Did I get a nomination?” asks Kit. “No. And you know why? ‘Cause I ain’t played none of them
slave roles or get my ass whipped. That’s when you get the nominations. Black dude play a slave role, get his ass whipped, he gets the nomination. White boy play an idiot, they get the Oscar.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agent shakes his head.
