19:31My ending was better!
19:32That ain't good fight history!
19:35But... the script?
19:37That's colored, man.
19:38You taught it.
19:39That moment, Catcher decided it was best to just go with the winning team.
19:45Uh...
19:46Die, Cracker!
19:47Die?
19:48Yeah!
19:49Take that, Massa!

19:58Oh, Catcher!
19:59That's how I do it, baby.
20:00That's how I do it.
20:02And so was born the legend of Catcher Freeman.
20:04Catcher and Thelma married and moved to Canada.
20:08The script was never produced.
20:10And they all lived, more or less, happily ever after.
20:15Man, that's some old bullshit in all my life!

20:27Cause he was like, fuck that shit!
20:29I'm a real nigga, know what I'm sayin'?
20:30Plus, he had like 300 hoes, and he had just no Thelma.
20:33He had all kinds of bitches, and he drove a Bentley coupe
20:35With 24's on it, with machine guns, and the rims!
20:38Nigga, what?
