[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=9) You can talk, you can talk, you can talk, you'll break down mother f\*\*\*er! [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=13) Pull his a\*\* out, he's a n\*\*\*er! He's a n\*\*\*er! He's a n\*\*\*er! [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=18) A n\*\*\*er, look, he's a n\*\*\*er! [0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=25) Alright, you see? It shocks you, it shocks you to see what's buried beneath your stupid mother f\*\*\*ers! [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=35) What was it called for? It's not called for you to get on my a\*\*, you cheap mother f\*\*\*er! [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=41) You guys have been talking and talking and talking! [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=45) I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=50) What's the matter? Is it too much for you to handle? [0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=53) He said come here! You're gonna arrest me for calling a black man a n\*\*\*er! [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=60) Wait a minute, where's he going? That's not called for you, you f\*\*\*ing crackhead! [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=68) Crackhead? I don't call him a crackhead, I don't call him a n\*\*\*er! [1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=73) Oh, you're threatening me? Oh, it's a big threat, that's how you get back at the man! [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=81) Wait a minute, he's not going, is he? Oh, I guess you got me there. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=92) You're absolutely right. I'm just a wash-up. [1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=96) Gotta stand on the stage for a f\*\*\*ing salute, and that's it, we've had it. [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=100) We've had it. Can you believe this, you n\*\*\*er? [1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=104) That's not f\*\*\*ing called for! That's not necessary! [1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=108) You interrupted me, pal! That's what happens when you interrupt the right thing anyway! [1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=113) We have him live via satellite from Los Angeles. [1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=116) This should be Michael Richards. Michael, are you there? [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=119) Yeah, I'm right here. Hi, Michael, welcome to the show. [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=121) Hello, hi. How are you doing? I'm not doing too good. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=126) Why don't you explain exactly what happened for the folks who may not know. [2:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=131) I lost my temper on stage. I was at a comedy club trying to do my act, and I got heckled, and I took it badly and went into a rage. [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=148) Said some pretty nasty things to some Afro-Americans. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=154) A lot of trash talk. Stop laughing, it's not funny. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=162) You were actually being heckled, or were they just talking and disturbing the act? [2:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=167) That was going on, too. [2:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=174) And did you... I'm hearing your audience laugh. [2:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=177) I'm not even sure that this is where I should be addressing the situation. [3:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=186) I've already heard you make some jokes about it, and that's okay. [3:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7pQiGd4T5IOO/en/michael-richards-racist-outburst-at-a-comedy-club-and-apology?t=188) But I'm really busted up over this, and I'm very, very sorry.
