Princeton:<br>
Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Sure!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Well, you know Trekkie Monster upstairs?<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Uh huh.<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Well, he's Trekkie Monster, and you're Kate Monster.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Right.<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
You're both Monsters.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Yeah.<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Are you two related?<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Oh, well, I'm sorry! I was just asking!<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Well, it's a touchy subject. <br>
No, not all Monsters are related. <br>
What are you trying say, huh? <br>
That we all look the same to you? <br>
Huh, huh, huh?<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
No, no, no, not at all. I'm sorry, <br>
I guess that was a little racist.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
I should say so. You should be much more <br>
careful when you're talking about the<br>
sensitive subject of race.<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Well, look who's talking!<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
What do you mean?<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
What about that special Monster School you told me about?<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
What about it?<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Could someone like me go there?<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
No, we don't want people like you-<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
You see?!<br>
<br>
You're a little bit racist.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Well, you're a little bit too.<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
I guess we're both a little bit racist.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Admitting it is not an easy thing to do...<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
But I guess it's true.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Between me and you, <br>
I think<br>
<br>
Both:<br>
Everyone's a little bit racist<br>
Sometimes.<br>
Doesn't mean we go <br>
Around committing hate crimes.<br>
Look around and you will find<br>
No one's really color blind.<br>
Maybe it's a fact<br>
We all should face<br>
Everyone makes judgments<br>
Based on race.<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Now not big judgments, like who to hire <br>
or who to buy a newspaper from - <br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
No!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican <br>
busboys should learn to speak goddamn English!<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Right!<br>
<br>
Both:<br>
Everyone's a little bit racist<br>
Today.<br>
So, everyone's a little bit racist<br>
Okay!<br>
Ethinic jokes might be uncouth,<br>
But you laugh because<br>
They're based on truth.<br>
Don't take them as <br>
Personal attacks.<br>
Everyone enjoys them - <br>
So relax!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
All right, stop me if you've heard this one.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Okay!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
There's a plan going down and there's only <br>
one paracute. And there's a rabbi, a priest...<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
And a black guy!<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Kate?<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Uh...<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
You were telling a black joke!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Well, sure, Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes.<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
I don't.<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Well, of course you don't - you're black! <br>
But I bet you tell Polack jokes, right?<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
Well, sure I do. Those stupid Polacks!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Now, don't you think that's a little racist?<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
Well, damn, I guess you're right.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
You're a little bit racist.<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
Well, you're a little bit too.<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
We're all a little bit racist.<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
I think that I would<br>
Have to agree with you.<br>
<br>
Princeton/Kate Monster:<br>
We're glad you do.<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
It's sad but true!<br>
Everyone's a little bit racist -<br>
<br>
All right!<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
All right!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
All right!<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
All right!<br>
Bigotry has never been<br>
Exclusively white<br>
<br>
All:<br>
If we all could just admit<br>
That we are racist a little bit,<br>
Even though we all know<br>
That it's wrong,<br>
Maybe it would help us<br>
Get along.<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Oh, Christ do I feel good.<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
Now there was a fine upstanding black man!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Who?<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
Jesus Christ.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
But, Gary, Jesus was white.<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
No, Jesus was black.<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
No, Jesus was white.<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
No, I'm pretty sure that Jesus was black-<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Guys, guys...Jesus was Jewish!<br>
<br>
Brian:<br>
Hey guys, what are you laughing about?<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
Racism!<br>
<br>
Brian:<br>
Cool.<br>
<br>
Christmas Eve:<br>
BRIAN! Come back here! <br>
You take out lecycuraburs!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
What's that mean?<br>
<br>
Brian:<br>
Um, recyclables. <br>
Hey, don't laugh at her! <br>
How many languages do you speak?<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Oh, come off it, Brian!<br>
Everyone's a little bit racist.<br>
<br>
Brian:<br>
I'm not!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Oh no?<br>
<br>
Brian:<br>
Nope!<br>
<br>
How many Oriental wives<br>
Have you got?<br>
<br>
Christmas Eve:<br>
What? Brian!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Brian, buddy, where you been?<br>
The term is Asian-American!<br>
<br>
Christmas Eve:<br>
I know you are no<br>
Intending to be<br>
But calling me Oriental - <br>
Offensive to me!<br>
<br>
Brian:<br>
I'm sorry, honey, I love you.<br>
<br>
Christmas Eve:<br>
And I love you.<br>
<br>
Brian: <br>
But you're racist, too.<br>
<br>
Christmas Eve:<br>
Yes, I know.<br>
The Jews have all<br>
The money<br>
And the whites have all<br>
The power.<br>
And I'm always in taxi-cab<br>
With driver who no shower!<br>
<br>
Princeton:<br>
Me too!<br>
<br>
Kate Monster:<br>
Me too!<br>
<br>
Gary Coleman:<br>
I can't even get a taxi!<br>
<br>
All:<br>
Everyone's a little bit racist<br>
It's true.<br>
But everyone is just about<br>
As racist as you!<br>
If we all could just admit<br>
That we are racist a little bit,<br>
And everyone stopped being<br>
So PC<br>
Maybe we could live in - <br>
Harmony! <br>
<br>
Christmas Eve:<br>
Evlyone's a ritter bit lacist!<br>
<br>
<br>
