In April, because you're a fool. Anyway, Trevor, have you ever wondered why women don't get the historic credit they deserve?
Statues, Trevor. Women don't have as many statues as men. In fact, nationwide, only 8% of outdoor statues are of women. Wow. How did you know that statistic? I drink Snapple. I read.

And I've seen it for myself. I was walking through Central Park the other day under duress, and I saw statues of Alexander Hamilton, Christopher Columbus, William Shakespeare, all famous men from history. When it comes to women, there's only two statues in Central Park. Alice in Wonderland and Mother Goose. Which makes no damn sense. Alice is just a white girl who took Molly.

Because, Trevor, statues help us remember history. When you walk past a statue and you're like, oh yeah, MLK did have a dream. Thomas Jefferson was a complicated individual. And when you don't honor women the same way you honor men, you're leaving them out of history. That's true.

That doesn't count. We need statues of real women, not some giant French bitch holding an ice cream. No. Someone like Toni Morrison, the first black woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Or someone like Frances Perkins, the first woman appointed to a presidential cabinet. Or someone like Beyoncé. The first woman to be Beyoncé. Why doesn't she have a statue?

I mean, she's already standing like a statue. She's ready.

Oh, I've already done it, Trevor.
Oh, I've already done it, Trevor.
I've designed one statue to symbolize all women. Their power, their beauty, their mystique. a flawless avatar of womanhood that anyone can look at and see themselves.

Oh, Trevor. I'm touched that you can see me in that art.

Nah, I'm kidding. It's Idris Elba's baby. Because that's some history I want to make. Dulcé Sloan, everybody.
