The Promotion2008

[after giving his apology speech at a community center following his incident with a gang at the supermarket, Doug meets with Richard, the board of directors and the community leaders]

First Community Leader:
I think everybody is feeling pretty good about it.

Richard:
Yeah.

First Community Leader:
It's isolated.

Richard:
Oh yeah, it's a one-time thing.

First Community Leader:
What's that?

Richard:
I agree, it's isolated. I think it was just some 'black apples'. We won't be seeing that happen again.

[Long pause between everyone]

First Community Leader:
Black apples.

Richard:
What's that?

First Community Leader:
You said, 'black apples'?

[Another long pause]

Richard:
I said bad ones...?

First Community Leader:
The f*** you said bad.

Richard:
Bad apples?

First Community Leader:
You said black.

Richard:
I'm sorry if there's some confusion. Maybe in the confusion, I...

Mitch:
Hey, come on. It's been a long day. That was a slip.

First Community Leader:
This is a lot of sh*t.

Richard:
You are not a black apple to me. I said, that possibly, there was one black one in the batch, not you. And I didn't mean to say black. I meant 'back'... 'blatch', blah... 'blapples'.

[Long pause between everyone]

First Community Leader:
Where'd you get this f***er?

[the community leaders walk away as Mitch follows them]

Mitch:
Let's catch up outside. I'll hit you with some gift certificates.
