I'm on my own here. Did he just call me a black cunt? - Yes, he did. - He can't do that. That's racist. But, you are black and you are a cunt, Ernie. Those are the facts. I don't think Primetime cares what race you run in. The fact that I'm black has nothing to do with the fact I'm a cunt. He didn't say black people were cunts, Ernie. He was being specific to you. One has nothing to do with the other. And I'd go a step further, if I'm not mistaken, and say it was a term of familiar affection. Primetime's a Gypsy. I wouldn't call him a pikey cunt. Why not? He might be very understanding. Only if it comes from a place of love, of course. Now, back to the issue at hand. I need that Chinese geezer's address, okay? You'll have it by the morning, Coach. - Good lad. - And, Coach... - What? - I've got some good news. - What? - I found out whose weed we took.
