Kevin Hart: I HAD AN IMAGINARYFRIEND--

EVERYBODY HAD IMAGINARY FRIENDS,THOUGH.

WHEN YOU WERE A KID, EVERYBODYHAD IMAGINARY FRIEND.

THEY DID.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DON'T THINK PARENTS SHOULDALLOW THEIR KIDS TO HAVE

IMAGINARY FRIENDS.

I DON'T BECAUSE THAT JUST MEANSTHAT YOUR CHILD IS A STEP CLOSER

TO BEING CRAZY.

IT DOES.

THAT'S ALL IT MEANS.

IT MEANS YOUR CHILD IS ONESTEP CLOSER TO LOSING HIS DAMN

MIND.

HONESTLY, THIS IS WHY I THINKBLACK PEOPLE AND WHITE PEOPLE--

THIS IS WHAT I THINK WE'REDIFFERENT AT.

I DO.

I THINK WE'RE ALL REALLYDIFFERENT HERE.

BECAUSE WHITE PEOPLE--WHEN THEIR KIDS HAVE IMAGINARY

FRIENDS THEY GO ALONG WITH IT.

THEY THINK HE'S SPECIAL.

HE'S IMAGINATIVE.

HE'S GONNA BE SOMEBODY.

YEAH.

[LAUGHTER]BLACK PEOPLE, IT'S NOT THE

THING-- IT'S NOT THE SAME.

WE THINK HE'S STUPID THAT'S ALL.

THERE'S NO GAME AT ALL.

WE THINK HE'S DUMB.

[LAUGHTER]WHITE PEOPLE PLAY, YOU KNOW?

LITTLE BOY WILL COME OUT.

"HEY, MOMMY, LOOK WHAT ANDY'SDOING.

LOOK WHAT ANDY'S DOING."

[LAUGHTER]"WELL, WHERE-- WHERE IS HE,

HONEY, I DON'T SEE HIM.

IS HE HIDING FROM ME?

I DON'T--[LAUGHTER]

I DON'T THINK HE WANTS TO PLAYWITH ME.

WHERE-- WHERE IS HE?"[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]

"YOU CAN'T SEE HIM, BECAUSEHE'S ON YOUR BACK, MOMMY."

"OH, MY GOD, OH.

OH, MY GOD, HE'S HEAVY.

WOW, LOOK.

I CAN--I CAN BARELY STAND UP.

LOOK AT MY LEGS SHAKING.

OH, MY GOD, HE'S--HE'S SO HEAVY.

IS HE HUNGRY, HONEY?

LET'S FEED HIM BROWNIES.

LET'S GO FEED HIM."

[LAUGHTER]THE MOM BAKES BROWNIES, COMES

OUT AND FEEDS HIM.

"HERE, DOES HE LIKE THEM?"THEY'RE FALLING ON THE FLOOR.

[THUMPING SOUND][LAUGHTER]

"HE LOVES THEM, MOMMY.

HE LIKES THEM.

IT'S GREAT."

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOUSAY.

ANY TIME I A CHILD COMES AT YOUAND STARES AT YOU WITHOUT

BLINKING, GET THE HELL OUT THEHOUSE.

SOMETHING GETTING READY TOHAPPEN.

HE GOT A BOMB OR SOMETHING INTHERE.

RUN.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THE SAMEWITH BLACK PEOPLE.

IT'S NOT THE SAME.

YOU KNOW.

BLACK PEOPLE, IT'S DIFFERENT.

A LITTLE BOY WILL COME OUT,YOU KNOW.

"HEY-- HEY, MOM.

HA-HA!

AH!

HA-HA-HA!

'CAUSE BLACK PEOPLE DON'TREALLY LISTEN TO THEIR KIDS

THAT MUCH.
