you must think i'm some kind of fool.
you hear me talkin' to you. the only time you come up here when something is wrong.
i said no such thing. all i said is that something must be wrong.
how's the food?
that's wonderful. isn't that what you always wanted, a show of your own?
if at first it's not what you want, just work that much harder, peerless.
son, peerless is your name. now you might be one of these hollywood types, change your name and all that but peerless dothan is on your birth certificate.
i guess he's still on the road. what kind of show is this? are they some negroes in it without being buffoons?
peerless, i didn't raise a buffoon. we have enough of those on television already.
i will. and good luck with your show. i hope it's a huge success. you've worked very hard. you deserve it.
peerless, your father called.
he wants you to come and see him.
yes he did.
he's performing at some place outside of richmond, virginia.
richmond is not all the way down south.
regardless, he still is your father.
even more reason to see him. he'll be overjoyed with your success.
peerless, last time, go see your father.
i'm doing okay. been reading about your show, it's all over everywhere. i watched it's all over everywhere. i watched it once. i thought you said there would be no buffoonery.
of course i'm happy for you. you've worked very hard for your success.
no.
you know how your daddy is.
i won't forget. when are you coming up here to see your mother?
