[Quentin Tarantino, Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio - Dinner Scene lyrics]

This is Ben he's an old joe that
Lived around here for a long time
And I do mean a long damn
Time old Ben here took care
Of my daddy and my
Daddy's daddy till he up and
Keeled over one day
Old Ben took care of me growin' up the
Son of a huge plantation owner in
Mississippi puts a white man in contact with
A whole lotta black faces i
Spent my whole life here
Right here in Candieland
Surrounded by black
Faces now seein' 'em every day
Day in and day out
I only had one question: why don't
They kill us? Now right out
There on that porch, three times
A week for fifty years
Old Ben here would shave my daddy
With a straight razor now, if I was old
Ben, I woulda cut my daddy's goddamn throat
An' it wouldn't-a taken me no
Fifty years of doin'
Neither but he never did why not? See
The science of phrenology is
Crucial to understandin'
The separation of our two species
And the skull of the African here?
The area associated with submissiveness
Is larger than any human or any other sub
Human species on planet Earth if you examine
This piece of skull here you'll notice three
Distinct dimples here, here and here now
If I was holdin' the skull
Of an Issac Newton or a Gallileo
These three dimples would be
Found in the area
Of the skull most associated
With creativity but
This is the skull of old Ben and in
The skull of old Ben, unburdened by genius
These three
Dimples exist in the area of the skull
Most associated with servility
Now bright boy, i will admit you
Are pretty clever but, if I
Took this hammer here
And I bashed in your skull with it
You would have the same three dimplesin
The same placeas old Ben

Now lay your palms flat on
The table top! If you
Lift those palms off that
Turtle shell table top
Mr butch is gonna let loose with
Both barrels of that sawed off! There have
Been a latta lies said around
This diner table here tonight, but that
You can believe mr moguy
Would you be so kind as
To collect the pistol hangin'
On those boys hips here? Thank
You ever so much

Doctor

Where were we?

Jackass

Oh, yes i do believe you were
Just getting ready to make me
A proposition to buy Broomhilda i
Am right? Bring out Hildi!

Your way, honey

Sit your ass in that goddamn chair!

Lay your hands flat on that table

And shut your mouth! Dr schultz
In Greenville, you yourself said
That for the "Right Nigger" you'd be
Willing to pay what some may consider is a
Ridiculous amount to which, me myself said
"What is your definition of ridiculous? "
To which you said
"Twelve thousand dollars" now considering
You all have ridden
A whole lotta miles, went to a whole lotta
Trouble, and done spread a whole lotta bull
To purchase this lovely lady right here
It would appear that Broomhilda
Is in fact the
"Right Nigger"! And if y'all wanna leave
Candyland with Broomhilda the price
Is twelve thousand dollars

And I take it you prefer the "take
It or leave it" style of negotiating?

Yes I do, doctorYou see, under
The laws of Chickasaw County
Broomhilda here is my property And
I can chose to do
With my property whatever I so
Desire! And if you all
Think my price for this nigger
Here is too steep, what
I'm gonna desire to do istake
This fuckin' hammer here
And beat her ass to death with
It! Right in front of
Both y'all! Ain't it good
Fella? Then we can examine the
Three dimples inside Broomhilda skull! Now!
What's it gonna be
Doc? Huh? What's it gonna be?

May I lift the hands off the table
Top in order to remove my billfold?

Yes you may

That twelve

Sold! To the man with the exceptional beard
And his unexceptional nigger
