[00:00:00]How many of you are against slavery?

[00:00:02]Yeah. All hands raised would be kind of nice. I'll be honest with you. Right there.

[00:00:06]Just hoping for 100% on that one. Yeah, feel a lot better. Little lonely there for a second up here.

[00:00:12]Yes, of course. Imagine if you came in tonight and you're waiting for things to start and you're chatting up the person next to you and you're like, "Oh, you ever been to this theater?" And they're like, "No, you know, I was really bothered when I came in." You were? Why?

[00:00:22]"Well, I came in there's only one drinking fountain in the back. I kind of like my theaters to have two drinking fountains for people of two different skin colors." You'd be like, "What the What? Come on. Go."

[00:00:30]What?

[00:00:30]>> [laughter] >> Or as the French would say, "Quoi?"

[00:00:34]You'd be like, "What is" And yet, people used to practice child sacrifice.

[00:00:41]And slavery was practiced in this nation within a couple of hundred years ago.

[00:00:49]And an establishment, a theater like this, even a generation ago might have had two drinking fountains.
