A fan's movie pitch interrupts Dave Chappelle's dinner date, and nobody at the table can keep their mind on the conversation.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

From the studio stage, Dave Chappelle complains that fans keep cornering him with ideas for the show and confesses that his mind drifts the moment they start. At a restaurant, his romantic dinner with his wife is interrupted by Frank Felman, who sits down uninvited to pitch a love story about a big-hearted street poet. As Frank drones on, Dave's attention wanders to a monkey, to Arsenio Hall savoring cheese at a wine party, and to a fantasy of himself as a rapper on stage. Frank's offer of twelve million dollars snaps Dave back, and he eagerly starts suggesting changes to the character, only for Frank's mind to drift to stock cars, unicorns and dirty diapers, while Dave's wife daydreams about Anthony Anderson.
