♪ Whoa whoa whoa oh oh-h-h

- pop, I just can't believe...
- Oh, you don't know what you...

Hey, pop and company,
how was the movie?

Oh, fine, but we're having
a little disagreement.

Pop, I got a right to
my own opinion, right?

[Andrew] 'I don't see
how you have a problem.'

oh, come on pop,
you don't expect me

to buy into that
story line, do you?

What're you talking about?

It's just your basic
love-hate relationship.

Okay, okay, I'll give
you that, right. Okay.

- But the Cannon, the dynamite..
- Uh-huh. Yeah.

The catapult, come
on, pop, obviously

they used those
special effects to hide

the loop holes in the script.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I thought you went

to see "jungle fever?"

Well, we did, we're talkin'

about that "road runner" cartoon

that came on first.

Alright, alright,
pop, answer this.

Now, how can a coyote afford

to buy all that stuff anyway?

Well, didn't you pay attention?

He had an acme credit card.

Oh, yeah.

♪ whoa oh oh-h-h

alright, guys, it's official.

The vote just came in.

We're going out on strike.

Oh, my!

Well, look, I hate
to have it happen

but let's face it, that contract

they were offering
us was insulting.

You said it, roc, and lots of
changes have to be made.

I mean, besides just
better working conditions

how about a cost
of living increase?

- Huh, guys?
- Yeah, yeah.

How about better
health insurance?

- Alright.
- How about..

- Better safety standards?
- Uh-huh.

Right? I mean, look at
this place. It's a dump.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're right, Tony.

Look, look, it's been
a long time coming.

We have to show them
that we mean business.

Show our solidarity.

We were alright
to vote the strike.

- Right. Right on.
- Who voted the strike?

Whoa, whoa! You mean you
didn't vote the strike, Tony?

But you just finished
telling me about

how bad conditions
are around here.

Hey, I still got bills
to pay, Mr. Trump.

Yeah, but you're
our union steward.

Yeah, and I'm damn proud of it.

Oh, man, Tony,
you're a real piece of..

Oh, man.

Man, I guess I'm gonna go
home and, uh, break the bad news.

Well, my brother's
gonna take this real hard.

Actually, it's gonna
be tough on all of us.

We'll have to make some changes.

Tighten our belts, cut
down on a few things

and to top it off..

No more perks.

Yeah, think of the stuff you're
gonna be able to go through

when the strikes over. It's
gonna be a veritable perk fest.

See? There's a
silver lining in this, roc.

Yeah, well, how do
you get by until then?

Well, if things get
tough remember

you got that strike fund.

- Yeah?
- 'Yeah.'

- how much can you get?
- Fifty bucks.

- A week?
- No, fifty bucks.

Oh, man.

Roc, if it's any consolation
history has shown..

These sanitation
strikes they never last

more than a couple of days.

[Indistinct chattering]

Man, three weeks of picketing.

Wait till I get my hands
on that Tony, huh!

When is this all gonna end?

Wow! This is really
getting to you, huh, roc?

Well, hell, yeah. My
whole life I've worked.

I've had a purpose. I got up
in the morning and did my job.

Now, all I do is walk
around all day doing nothing.

Not making a dime.

Well, now, you can appreciate
what I go through, roc.

- Yeah, but you enjoy it.
- Yeah.

Hey, I thought I
told you last week

because of this money situation

no more afternoon sandwiches.

This is last week's sandwich,
bro. I'm pacing myself.

- And where's pop?
- Oh.

Remember we said that
we felt bad about the situation

and that because you were on
strike, we wanted to help out?

- Yeah.
- Well, right now..

Pop's out looking for a job.

Oh, that's really nice.

What about you?

I think it's nice too, roc.

- Joey, I meant..
- Oh, oh. Me, right-right.

I'm looking, I'm looking.
I-I got a few things.

But I just haven't decided
on the right one yet.

- Really? Like what?
- Like, uh..

I haven't decided on what
suit to wear to the interview.

- Oh, you got some interviews?
- No, silly.

I don't even have the
clothes yet. Pay attention.

You know, Joe, I got a
good mind to throw you

out with the trash right now.

You could, roc, but god
knows when they'd pick me up.

Whoa-oh, hey, sis, good thing
you came here when you did.

I was about to knock
your husband out.

- Go on..
- 'Oh, how you doing, baby?'

hey, baby. Muah.

- How was work?
- Oh, it was fine.

- How was your day?
- Oh, the usual.

Walking around the streets,
looking at piles of trash.

Wanting to pick it up
and not being able to.

Yeah, breaks your heart, huh?

Roc, I think I got some
pretty good news for you.

Really? Oh, I could
use some good news.

Well, just so happens
that there's an opening

down at the hospital.

- Your hospital?
- Doing what?

Be an orderly.

An orderly, I don't know.

[Mumbling]

Roc, it's money.

Well, alright. Tell me about it.

Well, you'd be
assisting us nurses

and with my connections,
if you want the job

I could pretty much
guarantee you'd get it.

Yeah, but I don't
have any training.

Oh, honey, you could
learn that stuff in no time.

Well, I don't know.

Oh, besides the money, roc

we'd be working the
night shift together.

Give us a chance to see
each other more often.

Oh, that's almost as
good as the money.

Actually, it's better 'cause
the money isn't that great

but it's better than
that $50 strike fund

we've already gone through.

Hey, I thought it
was a sure thing.

What do I know about dog racing?

Well, anyway,
baby, you gotta think

about it but let me
know somethin' soon.

- How soon?
- Now.

- Okay, Eleanor, I'll do it.
- Oh!

That'll be great,
baby, you'll see.

Hey, but that doesn't
let you off the hook, Joey.

- You still gotta find a job.
- Yeah, I know.

I know but it does give me time

to pick out that
wardrobe, though.

Mm, maybe
somethin' in gabardine.

- Hey, pop.
- Hello, son.

- Hello, Joey, Eleanor.
- Hey, there.

Hey, pop, great news.

Eleanor got me a
temporary job at the hospital

so you can stop
looking for work.

- You were looking for work?
- I sure was.

And I found it too.

Yeah, I've rejoined
the work force.

Yeah, pretty
good job. I like it.

- A fortune 500 company.
- Wow!

- Wow, that's great, pops.
- 'Yeah.'

I got it on the first
place I interviewed.

- 'Yeah?'
- no kidding.

Oh, you act so surprised.

I mean, even though I'm older

no one can turn down someone

with my vital experience
and knowledge.

- Well, what you're doing, pop?
- Ah, hold on.

I'll give you a hint.

[Indistinct murmurs]

Would you like some
fries with that chicken?

There you go, Mr. Jordon.

[Chuckling]

Thank you.

Roc, I hope you have
something for me.

I sure do, baby but you

have to come from
behind that counter.

No, roc, I mean the X-Ray's

Dr. Ridell wanted
from radiology.

Okay, I'll get 'em,
but you know, baby...

No, roc, please.
Here it's Eleanor.

Oh.

Okay, Eleanor.

You-you said this
was gonna be fun.

We were gonna
spend time together

I've been here two
nights, we haven't had

one single minute alone. Haven't
even shared a coffee break.

Not now, roc. I'm busy.

And after you get those x-rays

make sure you prep room 216.

We have a patient
coming down from recovery.

- Oh, is that all, Eleanor?
- No.

After that the head nurse wants
you to run down to the pharmacy.

Pick up the right medicine
for Mr. Garver this time.

Hey, I made one mistake.

Roc, you brought
him birth control pills.

Yeah, well-well,
I said I was sorry.

Oh, and after that, don't
forget all the patients

in c-ward need their meals.

Eleanor, isn't there a time when

all these patients are sleeping?

Yeah. In a couple of hours.

That's when we
have to wake 'em up

and give them their medication.

When can I take my break?

Roc, we're in a hospital.

People need attention.

Well, so do I.

Okay, roc, what's your problem?

Alright, Eleanor, the
problem is I'm working

harder here than I ever did

picking up garbage on my route.

And you can believe
me, there are no perks

I wanna take home
from this place.

So, now, roc, you see
how tough it is working here.

Oh, so that's why you're
barking out all these orders

and coming down on me
hard, you trying to prove

how hard you have it, huh?

No, roc, that's not it at all.

Look, you wanted
to bring in some

extra money during the
strike. You took this job.

Now this is what it is.
Now if you'll excuse me.

- I have my own work to do here!
- Fine, Eleanor!

I'll see you later. I got enough
to do around here myself!

God, I miss my route!

Oh, you, orderly,
make sure you empty

all the waste baskets
on the third floor.

Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.

Alright, Eleanor, I did
everything you asked.

Here's your x-rays,
here's your medication.

I prepped room 216 and
everybody in c-ward has been fed.

- Now I'm gonna take my break.
- Okay, right before you do..

- Mr. Jordon...
- Oh, lord. Mr. Jordon.

Ah, sorry, Mr. Jordon. I'll take
you back to your room now.

[Jordon] 'Could I have
another minute, please?'

roc! These are the wrong x-rays.

How was I supposed to know?
They're the ones they gave me.

Roc, I'm sorry, but working
in a hospital is an exact job.

Now, you should've checked
to make sure it said Dr. Ridell.

After all, it's not like emptying
the wrong garbage can.

Oh, that's low, Eleanor.

- I'm ready to go now.
- Oh, good.

I'll take you back to
your room, Mr. Jordon.

Good, and while
you're there, roc

it's time for his sponge bath.

- His what?
- His sponge bath.

Excuse me, Mr. Jordon.

Eleanor, I ain't giving
this guy a sponge bath.

Roc, it's part of
your responsibilities.

That may be so,
but I ain't gonna do it.

Roc, you have to do it.

How much of this
guy I gotta wash?

All of him.

I'll do half and
I'll pick which half.

Roc, this is not negotiable.

- I'm not doing it.
- Yes, you are.

- No, I'm not.
- Roc, you are doing it!

[Roc] 'No, I'm
not. I ain't doing it.'

give me the damn
sponge. I'll do it myself.

[Andrew humming]

- Hey, pop.
- Oh, hello, son.

H-How may I serve you today?

"How may I serve you?" Pop,
you're not even at work yet.

You can relax, okay?

No, I'm just
loosening up the pipes.

Why do you have to be at
work so early today, pop?

Well, today is my day to
warm up the French fry grease.

Oh.

You usually don't get to do that

till you've been
there six months.

Whoa, good for you, pop.

Alright, son. I'm off.

Uh, you want me
to bring anything?

Uh, oh, hey, uh, pop,
can you bring home

one of those snappy meals?

And, uh, can you
get one of those toys?

'Cause I'm three
away from the set.

[Chuckles] Sure thing.

Hey, pop. You sure that's okay?

Yeah.

- Perks.
- My man.

You're supposed to do
what I tell you to do, roc

but you're defying my authority.

Eleanor, I didn't
defy your authority.

'I just didn't do what
you told me to do.'

besides that, all you've done is
complain about everything I did.

Because you don't do it right!

What? No hello?

Roc, if I knew you couldn't
handle taking orders from me

I never would've
gotten you the job.

What you mean I
can't take orders?

I got the medicine,
I got those x-rays.

- I gave the guy a bath.
- You gave a guy a bath?

- Shut up, Joey.
- So you did the work!

- But your heart wasn't in it.
- Well, it's not my career.

It's only temporary.

I don't care how
long you gonna do it.

At the hospital, you're
the orderly, I am the nurse.

- I am the boss.
- Yeah? Well, we are home.

And at home, I'm boss.
And we're at home!

- So, where you going?
- I'm going to bed.

Oh, no. I don't think
so, Mr. Boss man.

I think you and your attitude
can sleep on the couch.

Hey, hey, hey!

Move over, Joey.
Get out of the way.

[Mumbling]

So you gave a guy a bath, huh?

♪ Whoa whoa whoa oh oh-h-h

- hey, pop.
- Uh, hello, son.

- How was work today?
- Exciting.

I found out what
the secret sauce is.

Wow, man. They trust
you that much already, huh?

- Yup.
- So, uh... What is it?

- Uh, you don't want to know.
- Yeah.

Hey, pop. Hey, Joey.

- Hello, son.
- Well, well, well, well!

Looks like you patched
up things with Eleanor, huh?

Why, what was wrong?

Ah, we had a disagreement.

- Work stuff.
- Yeah.

- Roc had to sleep on the couch.
- Well, I didn't end up here.

If you know what I mean.

No, I don't know what you mean.

We made up.

If you know what I mean.

Well, why didn't
you just make love?

- We did!
- Why didn't you say so?

Oh, well, anyway
the great thing is

we didn't even
need to discuss it.

You know, it's a,
it's a good marriage.

You have a disagreement

you go upstairs.

You get into bed and
things just have a way

of working themselves out.

If you know what I mean.

Yeah, it's too bad world leaders

can't solve their
problems that way, huh?

Well, if you gentlemen
will excuse me.

Roc, I haven't forgotten
about the strike.

Oh, I see there
might be something

for me down at the
department store.

- Oh, you found a job opening?
- No, there's a suit sale.

I told you, first the
clothes, then the job.

Hey, Joey, Joey, hold on, man.
Let me let me ask you something.

Now where you're gonna
get money to buy new threads

for a job you probably wont get?

And if you did,
you wouldn't hold?

Damn, roc, you know
what? I think you're right.

Of course, I am!

I think you're just gonna
have to get another job.

[Indistinct chatter]

Yeah, so, son, you sure you
and Eleanor worked things out?

Oh, pop. Everything's fine.

- No doubt about it.
- Oh. H-Hello, Eleanor.

- Hey, sweetheart.
- Hi, daddy.

No doubt about it, huh?

Hey, Eleanor, what's wrong?

What do you mean, roc?

Hey, you're not still mad
about last night, are you?

[Chuckles] 'Cause, you
know, I thought, well, you know

that, you know,
because we made love

everything was forgotten.

Well, I'm sorry you
feel that way, roc.

'Cause making love
with you has nothing to do

with what happened
at that hospital.

I made love with you
because it's the first time

we've been alone together
in the same place in a while.

It was purely physical.

You mean you used me?

Well, roc, if that's the
way you wanna look at it..

[Smooches] Yeah.

Oh, that's disgusting, Eleanor.

I thought it meant something.

Why do you men always have to
equate sex with something else?

I don't know, Eleanor, but
it makes me feel real cheap.

Okay, roc, next
time we're in a fight

and you wanna make
love, we won't do it, okay?

Oh, come on. Now,
don't go talking crazy.

What do you have to
say about what happened

at the hospital last night?

Oh, not again. Come on,
let's just go back upstairs.

You know, you were
half asleep at the time.

No, roc, I'm not in the mood.

Oh, since when do you
have to be in the mood?

Roc, we have a problem here

and making love
isn't going to solve it.

Obviously! And you know
something else, Eleanor?

Maybe it isn't such a
great idea working with you.

Don't you mean working for me?

- What do you mean?
- I mean working under me, roc.

If you were a doctor, we
wouldn't have had a problem.

- You'd be my superior.
- I guess you're right!

So, then you're admitting

my working for you is no problem

but you working
for me is a problem!

Well, yeah, yeah, I guess I am

but, look, I don't
wanna fight about this.

Well, it's too late, roc.
We're already fighting.

Oh, Eleanor. Come on. I'd rather
starve than ruin what we have.

You know, it's just that,
uh, things were much easier

when you were just
my wife, you know?

May-may, maybe it's best
we stopped working together.

No, roc, what is
best is that you learn

to get passed your attitude
and give me a little respect.

The same respect I
get from everyone else

down at the hospital.

Come on, I respect you.

Roc, you say you
do, but think about it.

If you did, we wouldn't
be fighting over this.

Alright, you don't have to
worry about fighting anymore

because I'm quitting.

Well, quitting may
solve your problem, roc

but it doesn't do a
damn thing for me.

You still have
the same attitude.

Well, I'm sorry,
Eleanor, but I still quit

and if you'll excuse me,
I have a union meeting.

Whatever you say, Mr. Boss.

[Grunts]

You know, Eleanor,
roc does respect you.

Daddy, you were
listening in the kitchen.

Me? No, I was way in the back.

But unfortunately, the problem
goes way beyond respect.

Now, what you're dealing
with is the fact that for 300 years

the black man has always has
to take orders from the boss man.

The only chance he
had to show any authority

was at home with his woman.

So, daddy, you're
saying that just because

the black man has
had it bad that gives him

the right to treat his
woman the same way.

Daddy, that's not right.

Oh, I know it's not right.

Deep down, roc does too.

But you can't ask a man to
change his attitude overnight.

- Why not?
- Eleanor, listen.

The man's out of work
through no fault of his own.

He's had to take
a job as a orderly

taking orders from his wife.

Now, that's got to do
something to a man's pride.

So, you saying, by
coming down on roc like that

I made him feel less than a man.

Yes, Eleanor, I think so.

Well..

Tuff!

That's the spirit girl.

[Doorbell ringing]

- I'll get that, pop.
- Uh, no, I'll get it.

My boss is coming by.

Your boss? You in trouble?

Hey, hey, hey. I'm not
giving back those toys now.

Yo, hey, man. What's up?

- 'Hello, Mr. Martin.'
- Chill, man.

You know what
to call me. Slim d.

- Pop, this is your boss?
- Just from three to six.

Why from three to six?

Well, I'm still in high
school, my brother.

Oh, it's time again.

Well..

Hi, Eleanor.

Roc, what are you doing here?

I thought you quit.

Well, I wanted to
see you, you know.

I hate when you're
mad at me, you know.

You are still mad at me?

Yeah.

I was just checking.

Oh, look, Eleanor, I'm
sorry I was so insensitive

and, uh, I apologize
for my behavior.

It's just, um, hard for
me being in a position

to, um, you know, take
orders from my wife.

I know, roc, you've been
this way for 300 years.

- What?
- Nothing.

Hey, but you
were right, Eleanor.

If you were a man,
and told me what to do

I would've done it
without another thought.

And me wanting to quit, was
just my way of running away

from the problem instead
of wanting to change

but believe me,
Eleanor, I want to change.

And I want you to know
we can work with you

and give you the
respect you deserve

and to prove it, I'm
gonna go on working here

till the strike is over.

Well, that's real nice, roc,
but aren't you just saying this

because you think
it's what I wanna hear?

No, Eleanor.

I understand why you'd
be suspicious but it's true.

I'm giving up all
this old macho crap.

I realize our marriage
is a partnership.

Sometimes you're
the senior partner

sometimes I'm
the senior partner.

Right, roc. That's the way a
marriage is supposed to be.

Oh, and sweetheart, I
know how difficult it was

for you to come to
terms with this and..

I really appreciate it.

Eleanor, I'm gonna be the
best damn orderly you ever saw.

Oh, roc, I love you.

Oh, I love you too, baby.

- Mm.. Not here.
- Yeah, right.

Oh, what the heck. Come here.

Oh, roc, I feel a little bad.

Why? I-I don't mind working
here till the strike is over.

I didn't have
enough faith in you.

I should've known
you'd come through.

You always have.

Oh, that's 'cause I
love you, Eleanor.

Look, I'm gonna go change

and I'll be right back.

That's my man!

Well, you look happy.

I have the greatest
husband in the world.

Yeah, and he goes
back to work on Monday.

What?

Well, didn't you hear?

The garbage strike's over.

[Eleanor] Orderly!
