  EXT. MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY - DAY
  Sam exits the theater and spots Gabe talking to some guys. 29.
  SAM Thematically dubious?
  GABE Well what was that supposed to be about exactly?
  SAM You're thematically dubious!
  Gabe rolls his eyes and catches up with her.
  SAM (CONT'D) Since when do TA's give critiques?
  GABE You invoke Minstrelsy for shock value, but to what end?
  SAM To invoke the same feeling I get when I turn on the TV and see some so-called reality star shuck and jive for ratings egged on by no doubt white producers. Or the sassy Black secretary with no backstory or character development aside from their skin color.
  GABE So it's a tit for tat? *
  EXT. GOODMAN MEDIA SCHOOL 2 - DAY *
  SAM * You're honestly saying that art * can't be reactionary? *
  GABE * You're reacting to a work made * almost a hundred years ago. *
  SAM * Yes because fear of Black men being * involved in the United States * Government is a completely * antiquated concept. No social * relevance whatsoever today. *
  GABE * Frankly I just think sometimes its * better to hold a mirror up to your * audience than to drop an * ideological piano over their head. * 30.
  SAM * Frankly I just think works that * deal with the African Diaspora * through a post-modern lens are * outright rejected unless they're * handled by a white artist. *
  GABE * African Diaspora? Really? *

  SAM It's not my fault your son couldn't beat me in an election.
  DEAN FAIRBANKS I'm sure it was hard growing up. Feeling like you have to overcompensate perhaps?
  SAM If that's true, I'm not the only one Dean.
  Sam walks off in a half jog - Fairbank's last words resonate more than she'd like.
