"C'mon lets get something to eat". I LMFAO!!!! Now there' an antidote for pure laughter!! That ranks right up there with; Al Pacino from the 1980 flick; SCARFACE. When he said; "You stupid f**k---Look at you now!!!" LMFAO!!!
An extremely deep movie, it was real because it really happened and in a movie with so many great scenes and so many great moments this is the realest for so many accurate and true reasons
I bet money... when the director said cut and ended that scene, the the entire crew and anyone who was there burst into applause. Even Robert and Morgan applauded each other.
Agreed...it's not the same concept, but it's similar to two hockey players fighting during a game...then going to a bar after the game, and forgetting the fight ever happened.
"Brotha, I will go through the fire with you!"...An underrated great line in this scene. It showed Frank's loyalty and committment to Joe despite Frank's dissapointment
Probably? U mean Most Definitely. Arguably the greatest scene in the history of Black American actors in the history of Anerican films. That's how special, real and great this was.
the way he calms down and asks his friend to get something to eat always hit me in the guts. this is what real friends are. loyal and true especially through hard times
Morgan Freeman should have won an Academy Award for Best Actor and Robert Guillaume should have won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. These two actors were brilliant in this film.
More than half of this scene is a single shot. More than 90 seconds of one shot. Just unbelievable. Unthinkable in modern popular cinema. Freeman and Guillaume are just completely in control of their craft. Old-school, hard-working actors turning in an absolute A+ performance here.
What Crazyjim said. As the old adage goes, "Love is love but business is business". They care about one another because of what they have gone through, but from 9 to 5, Dr. Napier is the boss and Joe has to play by what he says.
armst012 A FORMAL APOLOGY FOR YOUR TREATMENT OF MRS. ELLIOTT, AND DARNELL, AND FOR YOUR VISCIOUS AND THOUGHTLESS INSULTS OF THE WOMEN OF THIS COMMUNITY, YOU WILL KOWTOW!!! YOU WILL STEP AND FETCH!!!
armst012 GET USED TO IT, IT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD!!!! IF YOU'RE SO HOT ON DISCIPLINE THEN GOT DAMNIT START BY ACCEPTING MINE, CAUSE CONTRARY TO POPULAR OPINION: I'M THE HEAD NIGGA IN CHARGE!!!!' C'mon let's get something to eat
I definitely agree but we will never get them. The American ego is more fragile than glass. It takes absolutely nothing to offend somebody you don't even have to say anything and you have somehow offended them.
This clip makes it both hard to believe and all the more stupendous that you are actually watching two actors, each with a boatload of lines, in one continuous (and intense) scene without any breaks, executing the interchange to absolute perfection. Though Morgan Freeman is excellent as always, Robert Guillaume demonstrates full-on how "mastercraft" an actor he is and always has been.
I could watch the scene over and over and not get tired of it. Acting greatness. And the way friends should be able to go at each other if need be and still be down with each other. Robert told Morgan I'll go through the fire with you...but I'm still the HNIC. Love it.
It may be true. But extracurricular activities is useful for kids as it brings motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. That’s just as essential as academics.
@@amylee8969They’ve had enough extracurricular activities of a life time. Would not hurt them to get their shit together and not lose their entire education.
@ Jerry X Well it’s not the music teacher OR music classes fault the school went downhill and the students are wild and crazy. That was the fault of the drug dealers and kids associating themselves with bad crowds. That’s the reasons it was hard for teachers and staff to manage the kids, which interferes with their ability to get an education.
"GET USE TO IT, IT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD." Frank.. Those lines come all over me like a very cold water. And they were completely and undeniably TRUE🥶.
I got a crew of friends and this is how we get down. We argue, fuss, go at each other but no outsider better get involved. Then we get something to eat, they drink and we laugh, I love my guys.
@@blighter. A formal apology for your treatment of Mrs. Elliott and Darnell and for your vicious and thoughtless insults to the women of this community! You will kow tow. You will step and fetch!
I love this scene. its awesome because it illustrates that both men are strong and intelligent and passionate about wanting to get things done, but one also sees the larger scope that the other may not and that one is also under just as much pressure as the other. I also love that the depth of their friendship remains intact inspite of the fact Dr. Napier is Mr. Clark's superior in the school system.
"c'mon let's get somethin to eat." that line sealed this amazing scene for me. I think of the dragouts me and my brother or my best friends have had where we nearly threw hands - then we cool off and get some pancakes. This right here is how best friends fight. Nothing personal, leave it all on the floor where it belongs, then get back to holding each other down.
I teared up watching this. It reminded me of an argument me and one of my best friends had which ended pretty much like this one did. That turned out to be the last time we would talk to each other. R.I.P to Robert Guillaume and my "brother" Tony.
Dang!! Solid acting and writing. Two great talents doing their thing with great material. Nothing flowery. Attention, acting students! Class is now in session!!!
God I would literally kill for a friendship like this. Where I know we can get into some serious disagreements, then move on immediately. You can't learn and grow if you're always agreeing with everything all the time. It's a stagnant, braindead lifestyle. Healthy debate is good, imo. It's probably why I keep getting into it, despite swearing not to again, half the time. The problem today is people don't know what debate is. Debate isn't calling names, or unfriending someone cuz your feelings were hurt. This world will collapse the way it's going. People need to grow up or go extinct and nature will make sure it goes one way or the other.
It doesn't get any better than this...we know the scene but you still sit on the edge of your seat to watch it. The crescendo is capped off perfectly. The writers should get more credit but Morgan and Robert execute it perfectly!
“But you are NOT taking care of business. This sh() you’re doing now, you’ve just gone plain LOCO!” “And you suspend Darnell! What the hell was that?!”
It takes real talent and ability to put a strong willed character played by Morgan Freeman properly in his place on screen. Props to Robert Guillaume for being able to go toe to toe with Morgan Freeman's character and acting ability. Excellent acting all around.
Thirty years of friendship, this scene shows that you can disagree but still respect each other.
Well said
And yell
It also shows that sometimes both people are right in an argument.
AGREEEEE 👏🏿
Well change 1 of them to a transgender or anyone of the other LGBT warriors
"C'Mon let's get something to eat." The best end to any argument ever.
"C'mon lets get something to eat". I LMFAO!!!! Now there' an antidote for pure laughter!! That ranks right up there with; Al Pacino from the 1980 flick; SCARFACE. When he said; "You stupid f**k---Look at you now!!!" LMFAO!!!
Wonder what they ate? Chicken and ribs?
The way *men* end an argument.
I hadn’t watched this movie in forever, I was crying for 5 mins with that line. Pure gold!
Cute, real cute.
Truly one of the best pieces of acting I've ever seen in any movie. Absolutely brilliant....
This exchange was amazing to watch, and even after that “c’mon let’s go get something to eat…”, just awesome.
No doubt
An extremely deep movie, it was real because it really happened and in a movie with so many great scenes and so many great moments this is the realest for so many accurate and true reasons
Couldn't agree more!
Agree
2:50 - "If you're so hot on discipline, then got damn it, start by accepting mine!" Benson is the HNIC!
Whooooi wee. I felt that. Real wisdom ...
Rafiki in spirit and in real time
That was real
God, not got.
Acting doesn't get any better than this. Two Legends.
💪💪💪💪💪
Todd Richardson Amen to that. RIP to Robert Guillaume, one of the very best in the business
All aspiring actors should watch this.
is this wills dad from bel air??
@@itsthatwutangguy.9370 Yes sir, tremendously acted scene by 2 great ones. You could feel the passion coming from both of them
That’s true friendship, when u can curse and argue then go get something to eat 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Reminds me of my bestfriend, buddies for 36 years.
Soprecise 1 lol
Soo truee
" You really think you bad don't you" Love that last comment when he's holding the door for him.
Robert Guillaume... a criminally under-appreciated actor. Every scene he was ever in was better because he was in it. We were lucky to have him.
He really was under appreciated. He was an incredibly talented.
He should have played Joe Clark himself!! Morgan looks nothing like him
@odog65Benson was great l.
As a kid in the 1980s, I usedto hum the theme to Benson all the time. Great show due to Robert Guillaume.
I bet money... when the director said cut and ended that scene, the the entire crew and anyone who was there burst into applause. Even Robert and Morgan applauded each other.
Now this is a true friendship. Cussing him out then ending it with "come on let's get something to eat." LOL
Agreed...it's not the same concept, but it's similar to two hockey players fighting during a game...then going to a bar after the game, and forgetting the fight ever happened.
“You really think you’re bad, don’t you?” LOL!!!
Type of shit I do with my small inner circle ⭕
One of the greatest scenes ever. The crazy thing about it is, they're both right.🤔
Okay
Battling the politically correct
I don't understand why this scene isn't more famous
Indeed they are.
and wrong
Wow. That part about turning black into a permanent underclass got me. 30+ years later, just look at us now.
'The Black Underclass" was a book published around that time. It's about Watts.
"Brotha, I will go through the fire with you!"...An underrated great line in this scene. It showed Frank's loyalty and committment to Joe despite Frank's dissapointment
R.I.P. Robert Guillaume The Real H.N.I.C
The real Nigga in charge
Robert Guillame legendary
A.K.A Benson
Rome king ahh Robert Guillaume died? love you Benson 😢.
And what a voice the man had!
Probably the greatest scene in the entire movie. Two brilliant actors and unprecedented chemistry.
Absolutely
I love the scene with Mrs. Levius too.
@@greatone33j i was about to say thay scene was powerful too, THATS my favorite scene
Probably? U mean Most Definitely. Arguably the greatest scene in the history of Black American actors in the history of Anerican films. That's how special, real and great this was.
Loved every bit
the way he calms down and asks his friend to get something to eat always hit me in the guts. this is what real friends are. loyal and true especially through hard times
To argue loudly and then say; " let's get something to eat." True friendship
I forgot how powerful and funny this scene was.
Robert and Morgan are wonderful actors.
Great wrk
Rosie Quartz Very powerful
Oscar performances....In the hearts of U.S. fans.
Wonderful actors how about Legendary actors
Rosie Quartz:Indeed.
Morgan Freeman should have won an Academy Award for Best Actor and Robert Guillaume should have won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. These two actors were brilliant in this film.
“Nigga can you keep quiet!” I love how these niggas is so strong and professional but so hood @ the same time
"Contrary to popular opinion I'm the HNIC" what a mic drop moment
Mike Greensmith Benson basically committed blasphemy against God.
With that briefcase whip! Haha
Shit I left room
He handled that briefcase like a boss
I'm crying!!!!!!!!!!!! Legendary scene 🙌
30 years later, they're still the HNIC. Fantastic scene!
Walter Flores. I remember having a video of it years ago. But now I'm looking forward to getting it on DVD. 30 years in the making!
Went toe to toe with Morgan Freeman in this scene. RIP.
Yes this was a great scene between 2 great actors
"What good is Mozart going to do for a bunch of children who can't go out and GET A JOB!?"
#legendary
Right their school song will help them 😂😂😂
Mozart was a Moor, he had melanin in his skin. So he is very relevant.
👏👏👏👏
The point of them doing the Mozart stuff and a concert in NY might get some of them interested in studying educational stuff. That was the point.
@@inttrovertedmonk851 Beethoven was not sure about Mozart.
More than half of this scene is a single shot. More than 90 seconds of one shot. Just unbelievable. Unthinkable in modern popular cinema. Freeman and Guillaume are just completely in control of their craft. Old-school, hard-working actors turning in an absolute A+ performance here.
You nailed it
LOVE, this scene...”You really think you’re bad don’t ya!” The best!!!
🤣🤣😭💀
I love that part! "Come on, let's get something to eat". Even after all that yelling? He's still not upset. It was really quite amazing.
It really makes the scene. As passion and uncompromising as they both are in their beliefs, they are still at the end of the day, friends.
What Crazyjim said. As the old adage goes, "Love is love but business is business". They care about one another because of what they have gone through, but from 9 to 5, Dr. Napier is the boss and Joe has to play by what he says.
Wonder what they ate?
Not only are they friends, they're on the same side.
He saw his friend defeated and speechless..and felt pity for him "come on let's get somethin to eat" we still cool bruh
Tha way he shoved tha paper in his hand..😆😆.."N***a can u keep quiet!?."..😆😂😂🤣🤣..This is one of my all-time favorite movies!..💯

The American education system needs more Joe Clark's
I definitely agree but we will never get them. The American ego is more fragile than glass. It takes absolutely nothing to offend somebody you don't even have to say anything and you have somehow offended them.
Agreed, what is the world coming to when they are teaching 1st graders homosexuality in school. We need more Joe Clarkes
RIP, Joe Clark. Died yesterday, 12-29-20
So true I knew him & Dr. Napier, those were good men!
Our government needs joe Clark. 💯
"your wife left you I should walk out too"😂😂 I loved it 💖💯💖

Great scene. Did anybody get nominated for any awards? Benson really did his thing.
"What good is Mozart going to do a bunch of children who can't go out and get a job???" I really felt that one!!!

I believe this is actually the best acting scene in movie history. th-cam.com/video/D_Vg4uyYwEk/w-d-xo.html
PHENOMENAL ACTING BY TWO GREAT MEN!! GREAT MOVIE!!!
This scene is so brilliantly written and acted it always brings a tear to my eye.
Arguably the greatest exchange of acting, energy and chemistry in cinematic history 💯💯
Morgan Freeman is really one of the greatest actors of history.
i dont have time for Mrs. Elliot's problems! YOU BETTA MAKE TIME!! LMAO
Morgan and Robert two damn fine gifted actors who hit a grand slam home run with this piece. It doesn’t get any better than this.
That's what real men do! Doesn't matter about the yelling no one disrespected one another! Again that's what real men do!
Two powerhouses of acting right here.
And what Morgan said is so true even today.
Yes indeed; it's always a systematic attack on us
When he said "Brother, I would go thru the FIRE with you" at 1:25 damn brah... I felt that.
Pure thespian-ism among talented black actors is very rare today. I’m so glad I caught the tail end of such raw talent during my early teens.
I love this scene. its awesome because it illustrates that both men are strong and intelligent and passionate about wanting to get things done, but one also sees the larger scope that the other may not and that one is also under just as much pressure as the other. I also love that the depth of their friendship remains intact inspite of the fact Dr. Napier is Mr. Clark's superior in the school system.
Best part c'mon lets go get something to eat. True friends though would pull something like that.
No the best was, "You really think you bad don't you?!"
This scene never gets old!
Two titans of the acting game going toe-to-toe, the room can barely contain it!
"c'mon let's get somethin to eat."
that line sealed this amazing scene for me. I think of the dragouts me and my brother or my best friends have had where we nearly threw hands - then we cool off and get some pancakes.

ONE OF THE BEST BACK & FORTH INTENSE SCENES IN HISTORY OF FILMS.
Well written. Well executed.
I"ve seen Joe Clark speak in person. That man could inhale your soul.
The BEST argument on film ever.
