The Boondocks, Season 1
Art teacher:
...and what the heck. Let's have some mountains and some clouds; oh, and of course some joyful little trees... right there. (turns to Riley) Isn't that beautiful? I love painting trees. What do you like to paint, Riley? Hehehheh, aside from your own name, of course.
Riley:
I got in trouble 'cause a you. I thought it was yo' house.
Art teacher:
It was my mistake. But you'll find I don't really believe in mistakes. I believe in "happy accidents." Because you got in trouble, your granddad hired me, and we are gonna have so much fun.
Riley:
(looks away defiantly)
Art teacher:
Well, Riley, I certainly don't want to keep you here if you don't want to. Your granddad wants to make sure I make you do just one drawing a day — then you can go.
Riley:
I jus' gotta draw one thing?
Art teacher:
Anything you want, heheh, have fun.
Riley:
Cool. (he grabs a pencil and paper and draws something in seconds)
Riley:
(walking away, sets the paper down next to the art teacher and heads toward the door)
Art teacher:
(chuckles audibly)
Riley:
(hearing chuckle, turns around) What?
Art teacher:
Oh nothing, heheh... you're free to go.
Riley:
What's funny?
Art teacher:
Nothing, nothing at all. I'll call your granddad and tell him you're walking home.
Riley:
(aggressively) I wudn't really trying, I could do better if I wanted.
Art teacher:
(crumples up Riley's drawing) Oh I'm sure. (he throws it away)
Riley:
(surprised, then angry) Hey! You ain't have to ball it up and throw it in the trash! You know what? That's disrespectful! Yo' mama shoulda raised you better. (he leaves)
Art teacher:
(Continues to paint)
Riley:
(returns and retrieves his crumpled-up drawing) I wudn't even really tryin'. (he leaves again)
