LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONES AND ENJOY OUR PRODUCTION OF LUNCH WITH GREATNESS. MY, MY, MY. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. I SWEAR, THE SUN IS SO HOT, I NEARLY MELTED. INDEED, DR. KING, BUT I SUSPECT WE DIDN'T MEET HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER. INDEED, BROTHER MALCOLM. UNLESS, OF COURSE, WE ARTICULATE THAT THE SUN IN THIS COUNTRY SHINES BRIGHTER ON SOME THAN IT DOES ON OTHERS. MM. YEAH. YES, BUT WHEN THE SUN DOES SHINE ON US, IT IS GROWING THE SEEDS OF REVOLUTION. AMEN. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I SEE YOUR POINT, BROTHER MALCOLM, BUT DO NOT THOSE SAME SEEDS NEED TO BE WATERED WITH LOVE? I SUPPOSE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF SOME DISCUSSION, DR. KING.

AND I AM ALL FOR DISCUSSION, BROTHER MALCOLM. UNLESS, OF COURSE, THE WORDS DEVOLVE INTO PROCLAMATIONS OF HATE. YES. RIGHT. WELL, IS THAT NOT WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY, DR. KING, TO DISCUSS? YES, BROTHER MALCOLM. AND I AM CONFIDENT, THAT AS WE DISCUSS- WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS IT AND DISCUSS IT UNTIL I SAY THAT OUR PEOPLE HAVE NEVER RESORTED TO VIOLENCE BEFORE THE WHITE MAN GAVE THEM NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY HIM BACK IN THE ONLY CURRENCY HE UNDERSTANDS. YES. BROTHER MALCOLM, IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO SAY AT THIS POINT IN OUR LUNCH? INDEED, DR. KING, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T LAND ON PLYMOUTH ROCK. PLYMOUTH ROCK LANDED ON US.

AMEN. MM-HMM. OKAY, WELL, YES. ALL RIGHT. YEAH, II'VE HEARD YOU SAY THAT BEFORE. IDON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ROCKS WHEN, IN FACT, IT IS THE FLESH AND THE BONE AND THE-THE DREAMS-I-I HAVE A DREAM THAT SOMEDAY OUR CHILDREN WILL BE JUDGED BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER, NOT BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. SAME FOR ME. SAME FOR ME. IN FACT, I BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY, A BLACK MAN WILL BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. all: YES. HOPEFULLY FOR EIGHT YEARS. OBAMA 2012. OH, OF COURSE, EIGHT YEARS. OF COURSE, EIGHT YEARS. THAT'S A GIVEN, RIGHT? THAT'S A GIVEN. YOU KNOW? I MEAN, BUT IN ORDER TO GET THERE, ISN'T HE GOING TO NEED THE HELP OF OUR STRONG, BEAUTIFUL, BLACK WOMEN? GOTTA RESPECT THE SISTER.
