Boston Legal

Head Cases

Season 1，Episode 1

在这一集中，黑人女孩参加全美巡演的面试，而且非常地演唱了歌曲“Tomorrow”，

但被拒绝，因为她是黑人，和漫画中要求的肤色不符…下面是本集中客串牧师的演员Al

Sharpton以一个黑人的立场在法庭发表观点…

Denny Crane: Pull a rabbit out of your hat.

Denny Crane: 从帽子里变出只兔子来（寓意另辟蹊径，出其不意，无中生有）

原文：

Reverend Al Sharpton: Could I be heard, your Honor? I heard about this matter.

I would like to address this court on what I consider . . .

Judge Rita Sharpley: I’m sorry, Reverend, but you have no standing here.

Reverend Al Sharpton: I have standing as an American citizen speaking up on a

civil rights violation.

Judge Rita Sharpley: Reverend Sharpton, I will ask you to step down . . .

Reverend Al Sharpton: I have standing as Bobby Kennedy had standing, . . .

Judge Rita Sharpley: You have no standing in this meeting.

Reverend Al Sharpton: . . . on the steps of the courthouse in Alabama!

Judge Rita Sharpley: No one is denying this little girl an education, sir. She just

can’t play Annie.

Reverend Al Sharpton: You may think this is a small matter. But this is no small

matter. This child is being denied the right to play an American icon because she

doesn’t match the description. Those descriptions were crafted 50 years ago!

We’re supposed to be in a different day!

Judge Rita Sharpley: Reverend . . .

Reverend Al Sharpton: You talk about racial equality, how we’re making

progress. The problem with that progress is it’s always a day away. Tomorrow,

tomorrow—you love that!—because it’s always a day away. I’m here to stick out

my chin today! Today! Give us an African-American Spider Man! Give us a black that

can run faster than a speeding bullet and leap over tall buildings in a single bound!

Not tomorrow—today! Today! The sun needs to come out today! Not tomorrow,

your Honor! God Almighty! Give the American people a black Orphan Annie. It’s

just not good enough to say she doesn’t look the part.
