Fred:
[On a movie set]
I think we need another take. Cameron:
That looked pretty terrific. Fred:
This is going to sound strange but is Jamal seeing a speech coach? Cameron:
What do you mean? Fred:
This is weird for a white guy to say this, but have you noticed he's been talking a lot less "black" lately? Cameron:
No, I haven't noticed that. Fred:
Really? Like in this scene, he's supposed to say "don't be talking about that", and he changed it to "don't talk to me about that". Cameron:
You think because of that the audience won't recognize him as a black man? Fred:
Is there a problem? Cameron:
Excuse me? Fred:
Is there a problem? Cameron:
No, we don't have a problem. Fred:
All I'm saying it's not his character. Eddie is supposed to be the smart one, not Jamal, right? You're the expert here but to me it rings false
