Meeting

Jazmine: Oh, Huey! You’ve got a lunch meeting at 11:30 about the sound effects for the dog fight sequence.
   
Huey: Cancel it.
   
Jazmine: The PTA is threatening a boycott of the play since you fired all the kids.
   
Huey: (yawning) Don’t care.
   
Jazmine: And... the principal is in your office to talk about the script.
   
Huey: Who?
   
(later, in Huey's office)

Principal: First of all, I just wanted you to know we’re thrilled with the script.
   
Woman 1: Absolutely fantastic.
   
Woman 2: Brilliant. Wouldn’t change a thing.
   
Principal: We just had a couple of notes.
   
Woman 1: One or two.
   
Woman 2: Nothing significant.
   
Principal: (flipping through the script) Lets see, uh, there’s a typo on page five; uh, there’s a continuity problem on page 32 — I think that scene’s supposed to be at night — and, let's see, umm... oh yeah, um, and, uh, Jesus can’t be black.
   
Huey: What do you mean he can’t be black?
   
Principal: He can't be black. Maybe we can make Jesus another color.
   
Woman 1: How bout white?
   
Huey: But Jesus was black.
   
Woman 2: We could probably do Italian.
   
Principal: Jesus was Middle Eastern.
   
Huey: In addition to Arabs, the Middle East has always had many people of African descent, whom you would consider black.
   
Principal: Sorry, can’t do it.
   
Huey: (Clears throat, presents contract)
   
Principal: Oh right, that. (he tears it to pieces)
   
Principal: (leaving) Best of luck.
   
Woman 1: (leaving) Break a leg.
   
Woman 2: (leaving) I can't wait for opening night.
