00:00 Welcome to the American Society of Magical Negroes.
00:05 I know you can feel their discomfort, Aaron.
00:15 Watching you walk through a room full of white people is the most painful thing I've ever seen.
00:21 Excuse me. Sorry.
00:22 I don't want to take you to a job interview.
00:24 There's a recruiting class starting right now and we've got to get you in it.
00:28 Welcome to the American Society of Magical Negroes.
00:36 I don't really understand.
00:40 It's easier said than done.
00:43 What's the most dangerous animal on the planet?
00:46 Shark.
00:46 White people, when they feel uncomfortable.
00:48 White people feeling uncomfortable precedes a lot of bad stuff for us.
00:52 That's why we fight white discomfort every day.
00:56 Because the happier they are, the safer we are.
00:59 The name is a little updating, maybe like magical black people or something.
01:04 I guess that doesn't have the same ring.
01:05 You ready?
01:07 Oh wow.
01:08 Your first client is a Jason Munt.
01:10 His morale is far too low.
01:12 Hey.
01:12 Hey.
01:13 Darn it.
01:13 I was hoping there was a station right next to him.
01:15 Oh, is this one spoken for?
01:17 No.
01:17 Yeah, it's actually fun and weirdly relaxing.
01:21 It's like being a secret agent with none of the danger.
01:23 Hey, I'm Lizzie.
01:24 Nice to meet you.
01:25 Nice to meet you.
01:26 She's great.
01:27 Yeah, she's cool.
01:28 You kidding? Come on, man.
01:29 She's smart and funny.
01:30 I know what you were doing going on about her.
01:32 You're trying to set us up.
01:33 No, no, no.
01:34 That's not what I was doing.
01:35 You cannot have a relationship with Lizzie now.
01:38 Because if you don't put Jason first, everyone's magic will fail.
01:41 I've always felt like it's my job to make white people feel comfortable.
01:47 And here it literally is.
01:49 But maybe it shouldn't be.
01:52 I've got a great plan to ask her out, but I'm going to need your help.
01:55 Do you think you could like work your magic?
01:56 Hey, is he talking about me?
01:58 Hey.
01:58 Oh my god, wait, are you?
01:59 Someone defied the society.
02:08 Who was it?
02:09 You didn't let her go like I told you.
02:10 If you interfere with her or your client, you could have your memory erased.
02:14 You won't even remember she existed.
02:16 Even though we might never see each other again, I need you to know that what we had was real.
02:23 I'm curious to see how you're going to make it out of all this.
