Marie:
You're gonna start making fake movies about fake people with fake emotions. And then you'll start having dinner with the white girl from LA Times
[they laugh]
Marie:
Yeah.
Malcolm:
[laughs]
Oh, no! Not the white girl!
Marie:
Mm-hmmm. You'll be taking about this one-take and... and that one-take... and how the camera...
[makes framing gestures as she talks]
Marie:
You know you do that, right?
[Malcolm laughs]
Marie:
Literally. Next thing you know, you'll be on your press tour for your new LEGO film. Talk about hw it's an allegory for the failures of reconstruction.
[imitating Malcolm]
Marie:
"Well, the original working title was, uh, 'Forty LEGOs and a Mule', but the...
[struggling not to break character]
Marie:

[she finally cracks; Malcolm can't stop laughing]
Marie:
Malcolm, you laugh, but I can see it. I'm serious, I can see that shit. All your new Twitter friends will be quote-Tweeting your ass, handclaps and shit, talkin' 'bout, "This is what change looks like." "Yes, king!"
Malcolm:
Oh, brutal.
Marie:
Mm-hmmm. But then the rest of America is gonna be like, "Well, what the fuck is this Negro doing selling us some shit with these LEGOs? I'm not seeing that shit!" Then there's gonna be boycotts, fucking protests because you're politicizing these LEGOs, but thankfully, you'll have your new white girlfriend from the LA Times. I mean, she's gonna come riding in with her SPF-50 brigade on some real soccer mom shit, tweeting' at people left and right.
[in a white voice]
Marie:
"Well, this is literally censorship! Who is in charge here? It is our moral obligation to go and see this movie written and directed by a real Bla... I mean, person of color. We are going to make history, okay? We're going to make it the biggest box office ever!"
[in her regular voice]
Marie:
And the next thing you know, you will have made a toy company a billion dollars.
Malcolm:
Yes!
Marie:
Yes! "Congratulations, Malcolm Elliot! You fucking did it!
[she imitates an airhorn]
Marie:
"Here's a couple million dollars and a fucking fruit basket. But just as a thought, have you ever considered doing the Angela Davis biopic, but with LEGOs?"
Malcolm:
[laughs]
You know your white voice is crazy.
