[Insects chirping]

Home a little late,
son. What happened?

- Bus break down again?
- No, pop.

Today is a day we pick up
garbage at the fish market.

One of the cans tipped over

and I ended up in the middle
of 50 pounds of day ol' smelt.

Bus driver said, I was
offending the other passengers.

- And made me get off.
- Oh, son. That's terrible.

The next time that happens,
you stand up for your rights.

I mean, a man's got
a right to ride a bus

no matter what his
religion, the color of his skin

or what he happens
to smell like.

It's in the constitution. So,
you be proud of what you do.

And if some people don't
like it, to hell with them.

Oh, thanks, pop.

[Roc] 'See you!'

hi, sweetie pie. I'm home!

Hey, baby. How was work?

- I got a raise.
- You did?

No, I just love
to see you smile.

Don't play about
no money, Eleanor.

Eleanor, now before
you go into that kitchen

I've got a big surprise for you.

Can it wait, baby, I
got a million things to do

before Nadine gets here.

I forgot. You having
that nurse over for dinner.

- Let me help.
- So, what's your big surprise?

Eleanor, this is
the kind of surprise

you've to see to
really appreciate it.

Don't set up plates for me. I
won't be eating here tonight.

- Good!
- Roc, you set a plate there.

No, it's for Nadine, the
new nurse I work with

down at the hospital.

- Oh, nurse, huh?
- Relax, Joey.

She's not your type.

Yeah? Does she have a pulse?

Ha, ha. Very funny, roc.

- Does she have a pulse?
- Oh, you guys!

Look, why don't you
finish setting the table?

I gotta get that
casserole in the oven.

So, what did Eleanor
think of your big surprise?

I don't know, but I
think she's gonna like it.

- 'Ah!'
- think again.

- What is this?
- It's a pool table, Elle.

I know that. What's
it doing here?

Eleanor, before you
tell me to get rid of it

now just lemme explain.

I found it on my route,
wiz and I are gonna fix it up

then we're gonna
sell it for big profit.

Now, what do you think?

Get rid of it. Roc, honey.

You have got to stop
treating your garbage route

like your own personal kmart.

I'll have it out of here
soon as it's finished.

We'll work it out later.

- No maybe I can keep it.
- No.

We're gonna work it out
the door and onto the street.

She loved it.

[Doorbell ringing]

- Hey, you wanna get that, Joey?
- Why can't you?

Joey, who lives here for free?

Oh, yeah, I do.

Lemme get that, roc.

Is this the Emerson home?

Yeah. That's how they
pointed out on the door.

You must be Joey.

Eleanor's smart
ass brother-in-law.

- Yeah, you still wanna come in?
- I'll take my chances.

- Okay.
- I'm Nadine rando.

- I work with Eleanor.
- Oh, yeah.

Eleanor's told me some
really terrific things about you.

- Really?
- No. I'm a smart ass, remember?

This is roc, Eleanor's husband.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hi. How are you doing?

Nadine! You made it.

Eleanor, you have a lovely
home. It's-it's so eclectic.

Yeah, well, roc
likes to eclect things.

- So, what do you do, Joey?
- I'm a musician.

No, I mean what
do you do for living?

Well, that's what I do.

Oh, Joey, there you are.

I think we got our
shorts mixed up again.

Uh, I don't think so, daddy.

Well, these ain't mine.

I tried this kind once
And they ride up on me.

[Eleanor clears throat]

Nadine, this is Mr. Emerson.

- Roc's father.
- Yeah and mine too.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, nice to meet
you too, Nadine.

Yeah. Nadine is a nurse, daddy.

Oh, that's nice.

Will you be staying for dinner?

That's why I am here.

Well, if you all will excuse
me there's a date out there

with my name on it.

Oh, where you going?

We're gonna
listen to a little jazz.

Oh, that. I really
don't like jazz.

Well, good, 'cause
you're not going.

Nadine!

I don't know if I
told you but, um

Joey plays the jazz trumpet.

Yeah, you told me.

Well, um, I better
go check on dinner.

I think I better
go in there too.

She asked me sauteing
something. It would be real good.

So, uh, what kind
of music do you like?

Um, I like the
classics, you know.

Smokey, Luther,
ingram, Osbourne.

Yeah, that stuff's okay
if you wanna dance.

Well, I mean jazz is
okay if you can't dance.

So, uh, what's your big
plan for the night, Joey?

You gonna take her
to some smoky jazz bar

'on the bad side of town'

pour a bunch of drinks down
her and take her back to her place.

Well, no. I hadn't
planned it that way.

But, you know, that's
a good idea. Thanks.

- Figures.
- Excuse me.

What did you mean by that?

I mean you are just
nothing but a hound.

- Oh. Are you an expert?
- I don't have to be.

- I know your type.
- Well, I know your type too.

I don't even know, why
I bothered talking to you.

I'll tell you, 'cause
you're a lonely

repressed, stuck-up,
uptight, miserable...

I better go see, what's...
Sauteing in the kitchen.

What's with those two?

They don't even know each
other, they're at each other's throat.

No doubt about it. They
are bad combination.

Like oil and vinegar.

Oh, you-you mean
oil and water, pop.

No, oil and vinegar.

Makes me repeat
like a pinball machine.

You know something, I
don't even know you, lady.

But I can stand you.

All that cuts real deep comin'

from a two-bit cheap
hustler like you.

Any second, now. Those two
are gonna exchange gunfire.

- Roc, you gotta do something.
- I don't know.

- It's kind of good for Joey.
- What do you mean?

This is the most energy
he's expended in a month.

Roc, you have to go out
there and put a stop to this.

Okay.

But if I do... Do I get
to keep the pool table?

It's waste of my
time. I got a date.

I oughta be out that
door enjoin' myself.

Alright, then why
don't you just leave?

Go away, get out. Go and
meet your cheap bimbo.

Hey, you don't even know her.

Who else would go out
with a sleaze like you?

- You're jealous.
- You are a pig.

- Boy, I hate you.
- You disgust me.

- Damn, I want you.
- I want you more.

Well, they didn't
exchange gunfire.

But they are giving
each other flesh wounds.

Hand me that fitter screwdriver
over there. Would you, roc?

Wiz, you've been working
on this thing for days.

When's it gonna be done?

Roc, this is a work of art, man.

You can't rush art.

When whistler painted
his mama, did she say

"paint faster, son. My
butt's falling asleep."

And when that old white
dude, gutzon borglum

started carving up mount
rushmore, did somebody say

"forget Roosevelt's
glasses. No one will notice."

And when Alexander Graham
bell invented the telephone

did somebody say, "hurry
up, al. I gotta make a call."

No. Each one of their
masterpieces took time, man.

Lots and lots of time.

Alright, wiz. Take your time.

No, I'm done.

Really? Hey, man. That's great!

I can't wait to sell it.

Don't you want
to try it out first?

A little eight ball.
Little cut-throat.

Well, I don't know, wiz.

I told Eleanor, we'd sell
it as soon as it's finished.

Oh, roc, I never noticed that
apron string tied to your waist.

- Rack 'em, punk.
- Yes!

Hey, wiz. Roc, I need to
talk to you. You got a minute?

Not now, Joey. Me and wiz
are ready to shoot some pool.

Ah, slight leveling
problem, roc.

What's on your mind, Joey?

Roc, I need your advice, man.

It's, uh, it's about sex.

Well, you've come to
the right guy 'cause...

Why are you asking him for

especially when you've
got an expert so close by.

You, an expert on sex?

- Ho, ho, ho.
- Oh, sure.

You can't be a Porter on
the railroad for as long I was

and not pick up a thing or
two. Now, I done seen it all.

There's something about a
train that makes folks frisky.

All that clickety-clack,
clickety-clack.

It's the only time I see white
folks with any rhythm at all.

Wait a minute.

Are you saying you actually
spied on the passengers

while they were making love?

You can only look at the
Grand Canyon so many times.

What seems to be
the problem, Joey?

Well, pop..

It's me and Nadine, see.

All we do is fight..

Then we make
wild passionate love

then we fight, then we
make love again, then we fight

then five-ten minutes
later, it starts all over.

Man, it's driving me crazy.

Yeah, so what's your
problem, braggart?

Problem is, roc,
I don't like her.

She's not my type at
all, my mind says no

but my body's got
a mind of his own.

I'll tell you something else,
you not gonna believe this.

But... I'm pretty disgusted by
my whole animal nature, man.

In fact, roc, I think this has
become issue of morals.

- What do you mean?
- I'm starting to get some.

Look, Joey, if you feel that bad

my advice to you is to
go break it off with her.

Absolutely, son.

In this case, your
brother's right.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Maybe I should just go over
there and call it quits, huh?

Yeah, I mean what is sex without

love and romance and compassion?

It's damn good.

Yeah, I thought so.

I don't get it,
pop. I don't get it.

He's unemployed.

He's a moocher.

He has no home of his
own, no friends to speak of

and he's got this
beautiful woman

who can't keep
her hands off him.

[Chuckles]

I don't see why
he's you favorite.

[Laughs]

Ah!

Would you care for a morning
cup of coffee, Mrs. Emerson?

Why, certainly, Mr. Emerson.

Well, then after
you, Mrs. Emerson.

[Chuckles]

- Oh!
- Oh, Emerson!

Five ball in the side pocket
with a kiss off to eight.

- What is going on in here?
- Wiz, what are you doing?

I thought I'd try the five ball
bank to avoid the scratch, roc.

It's seven o'clock
in the morning.

I left you here at 10 o'clock.

- You told me you were leaving.
- Oh, yeah, I know, roc.

But then some of
the guys dropped by

we started playing round Robin
and we sorta lost track of time.

Are you guys upset about this?

Yes. We are, wiz.

Everybody out.

- Now!
- We haven't finish the game.

- You wanna bet?
- Coming, juanita.

Now, look, roc.

I know how much this
pool table means to you..

But you got to
understand one thing.

- What's that?
- I hate it and want it out.

- Oh, honey, please.
- I mean it, roc.

- Either me or this pool table.
- Alright, alright.

I'll put a ad in the
paper right away.

Wife for sale, like new.

Come on, honey. I'm
just kidding. It's gone.

Oh, uh, am-am I
interrupting something?

- I'll come back later.
- Oh. No. Come on in, Joey.

How did it go with
Nadine last night?

Roc, I did exactly
what you said.

I told her, it's gotta end.

This relationship is
too meaningless and too

shallow, we can't continue.

- What happened?
- She called me a soulless pig.

Next thing you know, we're
making the windows rattle.

- So what're you gotta do?
- It's the only thing I can do.

I'm moving in with her.

Moving in?

He's moving out.

Hey, pop. What you got on there?

Isn't that one of Joey's shirts?

Yeah. He missed it
when he was packing.

Left it behind in my bathroom.

I've had my eye on this
number for some time.

- Hey, that look good, pop.
- Oh, thank you, son.

Hey, it is one of the
poly cotton blends.

You can throw this
own right out the dryer.

You know, it just don't
seem the same around here

without Joey anymore.

You're right. It's quieter.

And I'm saving money
not paying for his expenses

and there isn't anybody here
putting me down all the time.

Yeah. It just ain't
any fun anymore.

Hey, roc. Hey, pop.

- You're sight for sore eyes.
- Oh, you missed me, son.

No, I've been looking
for that shirt. Off now...

Hey, Joey. So, what
brings you by for quick visit?

Oh, roc, I was in
the neighborhood.

I thought may be I'd
stop by and take a nap.

Uh, isn't that what
you do all day?

No, I'm gonna
get a full time job.

What? Oh, great!

You move out of my house and
the first thing you do is get a job.

No, I get a full time
job in that bedroom.

Fighting and making love.
Man, that woman is insatiable.

By the way, roc, you
know that expression.

Be careful what you wish
for, you just might get it.

It's true. How true.

Well, I've been wishing
for this shirt. Do I get it?

No.

Well, son, it's obvious
what your problem is.

- It is?
- Sure.

You get turned
on by all that fight.

Joey, it's a vicious cycle.

You don't like each other.

So, you argue, which gets
you all hot and bothered

then that leads to
sex and on and on.

It's like you're caught
on a sexual merry-go-ride.

So, so, what are
you sayin', pop?

Gimme this shirt. You
ain't got time to wear it.

Joey! You're here. Good!

- We've got to talk.
- What's the matter, Eleanor?

It's Nadine.

Ever since you two got together,
her performance is dreadful.

- I beg to differ.
- That is not what I mean.

Now, if she keeps
up the way she's going

she could make a mistake that's
gonna cost somebody their life.

- Yeah, mine.
- Roc, you tell him.

Tell him the serious
nature of this situation.

Eleanor, he's out of
here. He's on his own.

I don't want nothing
to do with his craziness.

The bottom line is, Joey,
Nadine could lose her job

then you both gonna
be out on the street.

Joey, this is a
serious situation

and you got to work it out.

Roc, I told you. We've
tried to work it out.

We always end up back
on that merry go round.

Joey, you two obviously need
some help to work this out.

So, roc and I are gonna
be over later on tonight

and we aren't leaving
until this situation is solved.

Okay, alright. T-That's
a good idea. Thank you.

So, you get on back over
there. We'll see you later.

Okay, I really appreciate
that. Thank you.

Don't you touch anybody
until we get there.

Okay.

Now, roc.

I'm going into the kitchen
to fix us some dinner

before we go over to Nadine.

I'm not goin' to see a
pool table in there. Am I?

Oh, no, baby.

[Laughs] I sold it.

Got a hundred an fifty dollars.

Oh, baby. Mm!

What are we going to
do with all that money?

Well, you know
we're gonna use it.

We gonna use it.

We gonna use it
to replace the wall.

I had to knock out
to get it out of here.

- Hey.
- Hi, Joey.

- Thanks for comin'.
- Uh-huh.

Whoa! So, where is Nadine?

She's, uh, she's in the bedroom.

- Getting her clothes back on.
- Oh!

You don't expect us to
go cold Turkey, did you?

Never found one
like this on my route.

- There you go, big guy.
- 'Hey, sweetie.'

you were wonderful.

It takes a while
to wear off, see.

So, you really think this
is gonna help, Eleanor?

Well, yes. As much
as I hate butting in

it's obvious that
you two can't handle

this relationship yourselves.

So, let's sit down
and get to work.

So, what's your plan, Eleanor?

Well, I figured with the third
party here like roc and myself

at least you all
can't get in to a fight.

And then start that whole
destructive process again.

So, why don't we just talk
about your real feelings?

Okay.

- Well, I want him to live here.
- Not you, roc.

Nadine and Joey.

Nadine, why don't
you start? Ah, okay.

Well!

- Joey is very handsome.
- Uh-huh.

And he's a very nice dresser.

Good start. Joey.

Nadine's a very beautiful woman

and she smells really terrific.

Okay. Nadine.

But frankly, he's just
not smart enough for me.

See, it wore off.

I mean, there's just not
just one thing about Joey

that I find either redeeming,
gratifying or interesting.

Good, good. Joey.

Joey, before you say anything,
she's got a nice place here.

Now, just give her a chance.

See, that's the
condescending attitude

I've had to put up with ever
since the first day I met you.

Always putting me down,
complaining I'm not this

I'm not that, telling
me to get a job.

You're a pretty
woman on the outside.

- But on inside you're ugly.
- Now, see.

Doesn't this feel
good to communicate?

Hey, it sure does,
Eleanor. Thank you.

Actually, this is gonna
help me do something

I should've done weeks ago.

- I'm gonna walk out for good.
- You don't have the guts.

- Oh, I don't.
- This is a nice neighborhood.

Oh, sure. Walkin' out!
See, that'd be your solution.

That's how you
handle everything.

Your career, responsibilities,
every decision you've ever made.

- I'm going.
- You're not.

- Am too.
- You're not a man.

- You can't do it.
- Watch me.

Calm down. This is where
you two always get in to trouble.

- You're scuzzy.
- You're a garbage.

Hey, take it easy.

- You're slime.
- You're spoiled.

- Loser.
- Witch.

- I'm really hot.
- I'm even hotter.

Yes!

Nadine, Joey,
what are you doing?

Alright, we're here with you.

Just think about what you
doing. You're not thinking.

Think about it. Alright.
You go in that room..

- We're coming in with you.
- Thanks, Eleanor.

We can handle it from here.

Hey, pop. How are you doing?

Well, I was just
taking a little nap.

- How did it go over Nadine's?
- Awful.

They didn't listen at all.

They went at it like
we weren't there.

And Joey will never
break away from Nadine.

Well, I don't know about that.

I've a feeling, he'll be
walking in that door any minute.

Pop, how can you say that?

I just saw him coming down the
street from my bedroom window.

I knew I should've changed
the lock for that door.

- Hey!
- Joey, what happened?

Hey, roc, Eleanor,
thank you. Thank you.

You did it. It happened.

That sexual merry-go-round
I was on, finally broke down.

- What're you talkin' about?
- The sex.

For the first time, it
was bad. It was awful.

Our minds couldn't solve it,
our emotions couldn't solve it

it was our bodies that
finally told us to quit.

I mean, we were like two kids
that had too much ice cream.

- You threw up on each other?
- No, no, pop.

But the fire, the
passion, it was gone.

And I guess my sister screaming
and pounding on the door

had something
to do with that too.

But you see, roc.

Without the sex, we had nothing.

I mean, nothing to
keep us together.

- So, you just got up and left?
- Yes.

Well, no, n-Nadine threw me out.

I mean..

I guess she saw the light
just a hair before I did.

But, anyway, while I
was down on the street

catching my clothes

I... i started thinking
about a lot of things

and I started thinking
about you guys.

Joey!

If you were thinking about
me, you would've stayed there.

No. No. Seriously, roc.

I mean, look at you two.

I mean, look at
your relationship.

It's hard to find somebody that
you like so many things about.

I mean, shoot, man.

As much as I like to act like I
got the world by the tail bush..

There's a lot
lacking in my life.

Someday I'd love to
find somebody that I love

and have much in common with.

I'm sure you will someday, Joey.

You know something really
good has come out of all this.

I've always givin'
into my urges, right?

'I guess now,
that I can say no..'

kind of symbolizes
I've become a adult.

Well, I think you've become
an adult for more than that.

- Thank you!
- Well!

Tough luck, Joey.
We'll be seein' you.

Give us your address
when you find a place.

Find a place? Roc,
what're you talking about?

- I'm moving back here.
- I'm afraid not. See?

You left. Made up your
bed, you slept in a lot.

- Now, you're no your own.
- Roc, be serious.

- No. I'm serious.
- Eleanor, is he?

- Oh, roc, come on.
- No, no. That's it. That's it.

- He's out.
- Okay, that ain't funny, roc.

Roc.

Pop, say something to him.

I mean, you can
talk him in to, right?

Oh, sure.

- I can do that, son.
- Oh, thank you, daddy.

But it's goin' to
cost you this shirt.
