I can't write that.

[Humming]

[Doorbell rings]

Damn. Um..

[Humming]

Hello, Mr. Emerson.

Hello, how're you doin',
Tommy? What's up?

I'm sellin' chocolate
bars for the school.

But you probably don't
wanna buy any, though.

Hey, hey, hey,
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy

now, what kind of
sales pitch is that?

Hey, man, your presentation
sucks eggs, know what I mean?

Yeah, it-it's, uh,
it's kinda lame.

Listen, uh, what, what
are you sellin' those for?

Well, the school wants
to build a science lab

or buy new band
uniforms or somethin'.

Well, then you should let
people know that right off, Tommy.

Let 'em know it's
for a worthy cause.

Folks are suckers
for that kinda stuff.

Yeah, I want you to
try this again, okay?

I'MMA close this door

and I want you to give
it another shot, alright?

- Okay.
- Alright.

Let's kill it this time.

[Humming]

Uh, hey, roc, you
wanna get that?

Hey, hey, check
this out, everybody!

For the third time in a row

our man Fred has won the
perfect attendance award.

[Laughing]

Oh, man, okay that, okay.

Day in and day out you're
here before everyone else

and you're always
the last to leave.

- How do you do it?
- You ever meet my old lady?

[Laughing]

Hey, hey, hey,
how's it goin', Leon?

Okay, I guess.

How's your wife doin'?

I told you once
before, she left me.

Couldn't stand bein' married
to no garbage collector.

Ah, some women,
always lookin' for someone

with more money or class.

She left me for a sewer worker.

- Hey, what you doin' there?
- Packin' up.

Been forced out. A
mandatory retirement.

So congratulations!

Hey, what did they
give you, a gold watch?

- Huh!
- A vacation?

A plaque?

This here gym bag.

Oh, it looks like a..

Well, looks like a
real nice gym bag.

It's, uh, it's real sturdy.

You know I wish they
made trash bag this strong.

Well, I'll see ya at
the big send off, okay?

Ain't nothin' being
planned for me.

I'm a garbage man,
Emerson. Nobody cares.

Hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa. Wait a minute now.

Wait a minute. That's not true.

A lot of people care.
Hey, Leon, I care.

Oh, yeah? Why?

Well, I'm just that way.

Look, roc, we get treated
just like the work we do.

I'm getting thrown out just like
people throw out their garbage.

Hey, you're wrong, Leon.

Hey. It's the way it is, man.

Now, get over it.

I did.

Congratulations again
on your retirement, Leon!

Oh, it's a damn
shame, ain't it, Fred?

All those years of
service and all he gets

is a, is a lousy gym bag.

That's all we have
to look forward to.

- Well, ain't so bad, roc.
- What do you mean?

Well, I was gonna
buy me a gym bag

but, uh, I'm gonna wait now.

I mean, Leon said so
himself, he's being thrown out

in the street like garbage
without so much as a thank you.

After he told me, you
know, I got so mad

I started to go up to the
union steward's office

and tell him about it.

Then I remembered,
Leon's the union steward.

Oh, that's a damn shame, roc.

I mean, even when
Carl, the mailman, retired

I got him a great, big,
expensive bottle of scotch.

Yeah, I bet he
liked that, huh, pop?

Well, he would have, but
I forgot to give it to him.

Would you boys like
some? It's imported.

[Indistinct chatter]

Okay, roc, so the guy
collects trash for a lot of years

and now he doesn't. So
why, why are you so upset?

'Cause it ain't right, I mean,
a man works his butt off

his whole life, and
nobody gives a damn.

I mean, just, just force
him out like he doesn't exist.

I mean, something
should be done.

Well, I can empathize
with your friend Leon.

I know what it's like to retire
without as much as a goodbye.

Really, dad? What,
that happen to you?

Sure did. You can imagine.

After bein' on the
railroad for over 35 years

I was expectin' a
big retirement party.

But when I pulled
into the station

and hopped off that train

there was nothin', no one.

- Not a soul.
- That's it, pop!

That's what I'll do!
A retirement party!

You gonna throw
me a retirement party?

- Oh, thank you, son.
- Ah.

No, I'm gonna throw
Leon a retirement party.

Man, who the hell is Leon?

The guy I've been
tellin' you about!

Oh, I don't believe this.

I bring up one of the most
traumatic events in my life

and nobody cares. Oh.

Damn shame, ain't it, Malcolm?

What am I talking to you
for? You weren't there either.

A retirement party'd be just
the thing to send Leon off in style!

Hell, maybe even change
his whole outlook on life.

You know, you're a
beautiful, beautiful man, roc.

I just hope you're
alive when I retire.

Hope I'm alive
when you get a job.

Oh.. I've got the gauze

and I got the fiber glass,
let's get that cast on.

Oh, no, I can't help you
with your class project.

I can't explain it now, I've
got a million things to do

for Leon's retirement party.
I've gotta get refreshments.

I've gotta get the
guys, I've gotta get Leon

I gotta get fork, spoons..

Oh, I guess I could explain it.

Alright, I'll see you later.

Come on, Joey,
let's get to work.

Uh-uh, uh-uh, no,
no, I'm not gonna

walk around here
with no cast on my arm.

Can't you do somethin'
else for your class project?

Yeah, I could prep you
for a hernia operation.

Well, let's start
wrappin' that cast.

Alright.

♪ Oh whoa whoa oh

what do ya think, pop?

That l you made looks like a p.

"Congratulations on
your retirement, peon!"

Oh, that's gonna
make him feel real good.

Oh, come on, pop, don't
you give me a hard time, too.

I had enough trouble tryin'
to get Leon to come here

for this, I mean, he
wouldn't agree to come

until I convinced
him that all his friends

really wanted to be
here to wish him well.

See, you wouldn't have had
this problem with me, son.

I already live here.

Oh, you still mad at me
for not throwin' you a party?

Hell, no. Well, I'm
too hurt to be mad.

Hey, where are they? They
should've been here by now.

What are you gonna
do when Leon gets here

and sees that the only
guy that showed up

is that skinny little white man?

Mr. Emerson, why
am I here again?

Uh, Mr. Mate, you're here as
a representative of the people

who live on Leon's route.

Oh, yeah. But why me?

Well, the truth is you were the
only one who wasn't too scared

to open the door to me.

Well, it's not
that I'm not on it

but in all good
conscience, I just don't think

I can say something nice
about somebody I never met.

On the other hand, he
did contribute greatly

to the quality of my
life. I love the man.

Thank you.

You know, uh, what you
set up here is real nice

and I'm sure, uh,
peon will be touched.

- That's, that's Leon.
- Whatever. Look.

I was thinkin', if you really
wanna send this guy off

in style, how about a stripper?

- A stripper?
- Semi-nude, of course.

- I got a couple of numbers.
- No, no, thank you, no, no.

Come on, table dancing is fun.

- For the whole family.
- 'No, no, no.'

hey, one of them does
that thing with the tie.

I said no!

And you pretend
to care for this man?

Here you go, baby, it's
the last of the sandwiches.

- Thank you, sweetheart.
- Oh, you're welcome.

[Doorbell rings]

Oh, here they are! Heh-heh.

It's party time!

Hey, hey, thank god
you're here, Freddy.

- Hey, roc, how you doin', man?
- Hey.

Where's everybody? You
invited them, didn't you?

Yeah, but the
guys aren't comin'.

They'd rather go
to the ball game.

[Roc] 'Oh, my god, Leon thinks'

all the guys'll be here to
wish him well. He'll be crushed.

I don't believe those guys
would do that to a fellow-worker.

Yeah, it's heartless
and inexcusable.

Where you goin, Fred?

To the ball game.

♪ Whoa oh ah

man, roc, why are you draggin'
me all the way down here?

Eleanor was just about
to cut this cast off my arm.

Brought you down here to help me

hustle up some
people for the party!

You a better talker than me, you

can talk people into anything.

Well, you can do it,
roc. Just give it a shot.

Yeah, okay.

Hey, wiz, what's the score, man?

Ha, man, I'm not sure.

I had to take my own
little self-attending stretch

in the bathroom.

Hey, roc.

Uh, Joe, uh, what's happenin'?

That loan sharks
finally catch up with you?

No, they.. No, ain't no loan
sharks catch up with me.

Just had to help Eleanor
with a class project.

Besides, everybody knows
they'd break your legs, you know?

Yeah, you're right
about that, man.

So you kinda like
Eleanor's dummy.

[Laughing]

No, I'm kinda like
Eleanor's model.

Uh, roc here's Eleanor's dummy.

[Laughing]

Alright, alright, listen
up, everybody. Listen up.

I'm havin' a retirement
party at my house right now.

I want you all to come,
plenty of food and drink!

- Oh, hey!
- Roc! Roc! Roc!

Hey, hey, no, no, no, it's not
for me, it's.. I'm not retiring.

It's for a guy I collect
garbage with. You know, Leon.

[All] Oh..

Hey, come on, guys, you can't
turn your backs on poor Leon.

Look, I know you
don't know the guy

but it's an important
day in his life!

But, roc, this is an
important ball game.

Well, there'll be
other ball games.

But maybe not for Leon.

Hey, listen, fellas.

Leon is in the late
innings of his life.

I mean, it's the
bottom of the ninth.

Two outs, and the
count is 0 and 2.

Who's he playin'?

- God.
- God?

Oh..

- God..
- Oh, man.

[All] Oh..

Like, like, this
guy is dyin', right?

No, no, no, he's not dyin'.

But he needs you
to cheer him on.

I mean, come on, you
can be his tenth man.

Hey, with you guys behind him,
he could hit one out of the park

and send his life
into extra innings.

But if you don't

if you give up on Leon and
decide to leave the ballpark

too early, Leon's
box score could read

"no runs, no hits

no errors, nobody left on."

- And nobody would leave.
- Not one person?

All I did was remind them
how much they love baseball.

- Even lost Joey to that game.
- Roc, honey, what you gonna do?

The only thing he can do.

When Leon walks
up and rings that bell

shut off the lights and
pretend nobody's home.

Hey, the beauty
is, roc, he's retirin'

so you'll never have to
see his sorry ol' butt again.

[Door opens]

Thanks for drivin' me home.

I couldn't let a war veteran
go home unassisted.

Thank you.

Oh, uh, by the
way, did I mention

how long it's been since
I've been with a woman?

That's what touched me the most.

Oh, my.

Boy, you sure know how to
throw one hell of a bash, roc.

Oh, I'll say, if he
plans my wake

I'll be the life of the party.

[Doorbell rings]

Oh, it's him, it's Leon.

Okay, everybody, hit
the lights and shut up.

No, no, no, pop, m-maybe
once Leon gets inside

and sees this beautiful
spread, it'll be enough for him.

Okay, okay. Everybody sing.

my car's safe in
this neighborhood?

Why don't that boy
ever listen to his dad?

Well, come on in,
come on in, Leon.

- We're just startin' to cook.
- Excuse me.

Uh, is it hot in
here or is it you?

- It couldn't be me.
- Why is that?

'Cause I'm not
wearin' any underwear.

Leon, the love
you feel in this room

is emanating from some people

who all want to let you know
how much they care about you.

Let's start with my
lovely wife, Eleanor.

Me? Um..

Leon..

As the wife of a garbage man

I know that you've put in
long hours of dedication

and hard work to
keepin' our city clean.

So on behalf of all the wives

of all the garbage
men all over the world

I would just like to say
all the best and thank you.

[Applauding]

Thank you, dear.
Thank you, thank you.

And-and, Leon, I'm sure
you'll recognize Mr. Mate

from your route,
39/36, new kirk Lane.

[Clears throat]

I think I can speak for everyone
in the neighborhood when I say

"Wednesday is not just
trash day, it's Leon day."

- Thank you.
- Is that all?

- Yeah.
- Look, you have to say more.

You represent an
entire neighborhood.

I only had one sandwich.

Uh, my brother Andrew
Joseph Emerson Jr.

Uh, I don't even know this man.

Uh, uh..

Hey, um

good luck, old-timer.

And now we have here,
we have here, uh, um, uh..

- Lisa.
- Uh, Lisa, yeah.

Would you like to say something?

Y-Yeah, I guess.

Go, right ahead.

You know, I've never
really given a speech before.

Well, I was supposed
to give one once

in the sixth grade on Venezuela

but, uh, I got the measles.

Oh, here's your chance.
Here's your chance.

Okay.

Leon, ahem

Venezuela's natural
resources is oil..

Alright, uh, thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Son, if you don't mind, I think I
should say something to Leon.

Great. Go ahead, pop.

You know, Leon

for 35 years I worked as
a Porter for the railroad.

So I know what it is to
hold a subservient job.

I know what you're
feeling right now.

You know how to break
your back for the man

but you don't know what
life's gonna be like out there

with time on your hand.

Well, I'll tell you.

Could be a real
rewarding life for you

if you got three things working.

A roof over your head

a weekly domino
game and all your teeth.

[Applauding]

Well, I guess, I-I guess

I should say something to you

huh, Leon?

Well, we've worked side
by side for a lot of years.

We've suffered through strikes

through rain and through snow.

We know what it's like to
get up at the crack of dawn

and lift heavy
cans of trash all day

till it feels like our
backs are gonna break.

The rat bites

the verbal abuse you take
from people who scream at you

when you wake 'em up too early.

But, Leon

I'm proud to have
served on the department

with a man like you.

[Applauding]

Let's have a speech, Leon.
Come on, let's have a speech.

- 'Let's have a speech.'
- Speech, speech, speech.

Come on.

Well..

If you really want me to.

Mm-hmm.

Who the hell are you people?

You.

You say you appreciate
what I've done for you?

But all those
christmases, not one gift

not one thank you

not even a hello

when I drive down the street.

Emerson, it's just
insulting what you've done.

Dragged me down here
away from my room, my TV

serve me nothing
but empty calories.

If you really cared

you would have found
out I was on a special diet.

Low-fat and high-fiber.

I didn't, uh, I didn't really
know all those things about you.

Leon, you pretty
much keep to yourself.

Ain't nobody down
there worth talkin' to.

Just a bunch of losers.

That's the way you
feel about me, too?

Especially you!

The garbage man's garbage man.

Always wantin' to
be everybody's friend.

Always runnin' up,
slapping 'em on the back

telling them how proud they
oughta be, how great they are.

They ain't great!
They're garbage men!

He's not exactly what you
call a people person, is he?

You know, you are a mean
old bastard, aren't you?

You know, I went out of my
way for this, I busted my hump

to put this together so
you'd think somebody cared.

Who are you fooling, Emerson?

You didn't do this for me.
You did this for yourself!

Myself? What are
you talking about?

Look at me, Emerson.

Look at my face!

This could be you in 20 years.

Be honest with yourself.
You work in a dead-end job.

Livin' a dead-end life.

You're afraid you
could end up like me.

A bitter, miserable

lonely old man.

I'm your worst nightmare.

[Door shuts]

You guys gonna be
having coffee or anything?

I don't think so.

Well, then I'll be going.

You know the irony of all this.

What's that?

Tomorrow's trash day.

Now, roc, don't you be

coming down on yourself, son.

Now, you got to look
at Leon's situation.

The man lost his wife.

He ain't had no
friends, no self-esteem.

It ain't your fault, son.

Yeah, thanks, pop.
Nice thing to say.

Of course, none of
this would've happened

if you'd thrown the
party for me instead.

Well, maybe i'm..

Maybe what Leon
said is true, you know?

Maybe I did this all for myself.

Maybe I am afraid.

There are no guarantees
in life, what's to say i'm..

What's to say I won't
end up just like Leon?

Old, bitter and alone.

Roc, you can't
compare yourself to him.

Leon chose to let
life beat him down.

- You're not at all like that.
- Yeah, man.

You a wonderful,
giving human being.

I mean, Leon pushes
everybody away, roc. Not like you.

I mean, you brought
happiness into this house, man.

You brought daddy in
here. You brought me in.

Uh, you bring home
stuff from your route.

You're never gonna
wind up like him, son.

No matter how hard things
get, you'll never be alone.

That's right, 'cause you
know you always got me.

And you always got Joey,
you always got your daddy.

We love you, roc.

Oh, thank you, sweetheart.

Thank you.

- Hey, Joey, thank you.
- Hey, hey.

Hey, pop. Come on.

My boy.

Hey, well, i'm-i'm..

Hey, I'm sorry, i'm..

I-I-I guess you're right, huh?

Maybe I let Leon and everything
get the best of me, huh?

Hey, come on,
I'll never be alone.

With a family like you, that
will never happen to me.

- Absolutely -
that's right, son.

- You got it right.
- Hey, look.

We got plenty of food and drink.

What's to stop us
from celebratin', huh?

You know, I got a domino
game with Clarence.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Uh, come on.

Let's get outta here.
Uh, roc, i-I'll see you later.

And you know, baby,
I gotta get to work.

- I love you, babe. Bye-bye.
- I know, we got, we got..

We got plenty of stuff
here. I got stuff for every..
