      Roger Ebert - Host: [reviewing "Boomerang"] What I wanna zero in on is, because this is Eddie Murphy, suddenly you've got this sociological criticism: "Is he black enough? Does he have enough black people?"

      Gene Siskel - Host: No no no, I don't have it, his colleagues have it.

      Roger Ebert - Host: You've quoted it from other places.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Exactly right.

      Roger Ebert - Host: The fact is, I think you just have to look at this as a movie. You wouldn't put some other actor...

      Gene Siskel - Host: Absolutely.

      Roger Ebert - Host: ...Up to that kind of standard, I don't believe.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Absolutely. I would put any other actor up to it. In fact, it's in the agenda. And let me ask you something else: Do you think any of these ideas that I've just said are in his mind?

      Roger Ebert - Host: Do I think they're in his mind? I'm sure they are. I- I'm sure that he wants to show a different side of himself.

      Gene Siskel - Host: So why- so why am I wrong to bring it up?

      Roger Ebert - Host: Well because you're doing it in a different way. It's hard to explain, but I know what I'm talking about.

      [Gene chuckles]

      Roger Ebert - Host: You don't, unfortunately.

      Gene Siskel - Host: You know, Roger? On that basis, you could do the show by yourself.

      Roger Ebert - Host: Here's, here's the problem, I have a very, very good point I'm trying to make, and I can't make it in thirty seconds. Maybe we'll do a show about it, okay?

      Gene Siskel - Host: Coming up: The new show called "Ebert".

      Roger Ebert - Host: ...Coming up next, "Wisecracks", a study about women comics.
