Let's talk serious-Like

Bob, did you know
that in the early 1800s

It was legal for white people
to enslave african-Americans?

But then, abraham lincoln,
a white man, set them free.

Yeah,

And david and i believe
that it's never too late

For us to say to our
african-American brothers and sisters,

you're welcome!

David, you had somethin'
stickin' in your craw.

Yeah, you know, bob, i was out
catchin' razzleberries with my granpapa

And...

You know, it struck
me kinda q*eer

How this country used to
be owned by the red man.

That's right. We
took it from him.

But he didn't give it up
without a long, bloody fight.

Mmm-Hmm.

Don't you think it's
time we colonists

Came down off our
high horse and said,

we forgive you.

♪ injuns, redskins

And "how"!

Yes.

We certainly do.

Yeah.

Thank you very much.

Now, david, i was over at the
country store, down by the crick,

And, hey, aren't
midgets great?

I don't hate 'em.

Sure, they're-

♪ better than people

♪ because you're so slight

♪ we're not so great

♪ 'cause we're of

Oh, thank you.

Thank you all. All right.

Hey, man, that

David, we're gonna get

Really?
You think so?

Oh yeah! Those songs

We're gonna be
swimmin' in hate, man!

Hey, we got one!

"Dear mr. Show,
i really love you guys.


"Oh boy, you're

"And i especially

I can't believe this!

"it reflects such an
enlightened attitude.

"please keep up

"Signed, your hugest fan,

"Sharwood lish.

"X-O-X-O-X-O.

Smiley face!"

There, that ought

What?

Mr. Lish, uh, some more boxes
of that cereal that you like.

I hate that cereal!

I wrote them an
angry letter and said,

"There's nothing i'd love more
than tons of your cereal. "

Tsk.

Oh, sharwood,

I got your letter!

I can't live
without you either!

You're right, we are

in celebration of the
biosphere experiment,


Which has yielded
one new species,


We present our new flavor of benjamin,
gerard and associates ice cream,


Humanimal cr*cker crunch.

I'm howard benjamin.

And i'm frank gerard iii.

We started our ice cream
company with a simple theory:

There's money to be
made in ice cream.

Like this new flavor,
rock 'n' roll double chunk.

It's got chocolate in it, and we think
if people like rock 'n' roll music,

They'll like this, 'cause it
says "rock 'n' roll" on it.

It's available at all of our
office-Themed ice cream parlors.

Sit at a desk and
enjoy some ice cream.

But don't answer the phones.
The phones are real.

And in celebration of the
last living american indian,

We're offering this new flavor,
last indian doodlesnicker.

he sits stoically.

The sole descendent of a race
that once numbered in the millions.


He is chief
ben proudfeather,


Part lackawahanna, part
cherokoi, and all last indian.


Born in 1895,

He is now 103 years of age.

His eyesight is failing,
his body is weak.


His people once
collectively shared


Over 800 million acres
in north america.


After "the great
deal of 1789,"


The indians were freed of a
significant portion of land.


"The bargain of the
century," of 1846,


Gave way to "the less
is more" charter,


Which preceded "the doozy act" of 1902.

Now, 60 acres is
all that remains,


And they sit in the
frail hands of an old man.


Government agents have kept watch
over ben for the past several years,


Some would say,
like vultures.


no, well. We hear
that all the time.


We're not waiting
for a man to die.

We're here to
watch a man live.

Old man.

An old indian man.

ben has taken it upon himself
to write down his memories,


All that he can recall
of a rich and storied life.


This is, uh, from volume 1
of his memoirs, chapter 2.

"There was something
about snakes.

"The indians danced.

"I seem to recall
a man in a hat.

I think that movie
was called billy jack. "


chief proudfeather
lived a solitary life.


He now feels a sense
of moral obligation


In continuing his genealogy.

"Single, straight, last
native american indian


"Seeks any female for fun and
procreation as soon as possible.


"Enjoys food,
slow, short walks,


"Aging, wolves, peyote.

"Hate cowboys.

"Eyesight poor,
please send large picture.


No fatties. "

For years, ben oversaw the
reservation's lucrative casino,


And today,
oversees what's left.


Tourists stop by,
if it's on their way.


Chief ben proudfeather,

He'll be dead soon,
and that'll be that.


Because that's death.
It's the end.


Believe me, man, i know.
I've been there.


Vietnam, 1967.

I spent 2 months on my belly
in the in the quang tho valley


Eatin' dirt and
shittin' freedom!


Huh, man, that indian
ain't got nothin' on me!


I f*ck' saw god, jack! And
i laughed in his f*ck' face!


Ok, man. 3 more
clicks to go,

We hit the river,
we're home free.

All right. Be careful, looks
like sn*per country down there.

Yeah.
You ready?

Let's do it.

sh*t!

He got me, man.

I'm not gonna
leave you here, joe.

I know that!
I didn't think you were!

I mean, i'm not gonna
let you die here, man.

No sh*t! What do you
want, a f*ck' medal?

I'm just saying, you
can count on me, joe.

What are you getting at?

You are gonna
leave me, aren't you?

Shh, keep you voice
down. They'll hear us.

Ok, i don't wanna
get shot in the gut!

Ok, man, go on. Don't
forget to write to me,

Care of vietnamese grave!

I'm not leavin' you,
g*dd*mn it!

Yeah, right.
I'm not.

Let's just agree
to disagree.

Jesus.

Oh, f*ck it.

I'll do this
on my own.

God!

Ow!

Ow!
Shh!

Ow!

All right, all right.

I'm gonna stay here
with you, so get down.

Look, don't lead
me on, man.

I know this is about
those g*dd*mn peaches.

What peaches?

I'm sorry i hogged
the whole can!

Joe, i forgot about
those peaches, man.

It's just that you said you were
allergic to the syrup, or somethin',

I can't remember.

Listen, it's not important.

I'm gonna go out there
and scout around, ok?

Ok.

Hey, by "scout around",
you mean you're gonna

Leave and never
come back?

Or are you gonna
look around first,

And then leave
and never come back?

No, don't worry,
i'll be careful!

What do you mean,
you'll be careful?

I just mean, you know,
i'll be more careful than,

You know, you were.

Are you done?

Yeah. What?

I'm just tryin' to find the words
- Oh yeah, f*ck you!

f*ck me? f*ck you!

You know, you're a g*dd*mn
baby. You know, goodbye!

And stay right here,
i'll be right back!

Ow!

Ow!

Ha, ha, ha!

You are a dying as*h*le!

There's no way i'm gonna
stay here and die next to you.

Neither am i.

Don rickles' barbs stung like
thorns of blackberry bush,


But its fruit was
sweet upon my lips.


Burt reynolds
still looks good.


Happy birthday

Hell in a handbasket.
