- Hey, hey, slim d.

So, what's the good news?

Well, I came by personally
to say what a slammin' job

you've been doin'
down at magic burger.

I mean, in the eight
months that I'd been there

no one has worked
that place like you have.

Oh, well, thank
you. I enjoy the work.

[Slim d] 'Well,
so, in appreciation'

I'm proud to present you,
Andrew Emerson, with a plaque

that commemorates you
as employee of the month.

Whoa, congratulations, pop!

Yeah, way to go there, big guy.

Well, slim, i'm,
I'm deeply moved.

Here's your plaque.

[Chuckles]

Hey, wait a minute, this says

"employee of the
month. Ernie brown."

Uh, yeah, no, I had
to fire him yesterday

to give it to myself again.

Keep up the good work.

- Hey, roc baby.
- Hey, sweetheart.

Roc, what're you still doin'
here? Aren't you late for work?

Ronnie Paxton's comin' by.
He wants me to buy his car.

We're gonna test drive it
down to work this morning.

Roc, are you really getting
serious about buyin' a car?

Well, he came up
with a lease option plan

that sounds interesting.

Payin' $5,000 over five years

may fit into my fiscal plan.

Alright, I think it's about time

'cause I'm tired of waiting
for buses in the rain.

Carryin' 'em groceries
for five blocks.

Havin' a car sure
would be helpful.

Besides, you'll finally
have a place to put this.

- So you buyin' a car, huh, son?
- Well, I don't know, pop, i'm...

Well, I can
remember my first car.

Yeah, I can remember the
time I had good luck in that car.

Well, pop, I don't think you
should be talkin' about that.

I'm talkin' about the only time
I ever talked a white policeman

out of a ticket.

I don't know what
you're talkin' about.

Oh, roc, I think it's
so nice to buy a car.

Well, Eleanor, wait a minute,
I'm not sayin' that for sure.

I'm just thinkin' it
over, you know?

You're not waitin' to find one,
on your route, are you, roc?

Hell, no, I gave up on that
the third year in the department.

[Car honks]

Oh, roc! That's a beautiful car.

Well, now, looks are deceivin'.
I gotta check it out first.

- Hey.
- Hey, Ronnie, how you doin'?

Ho, whoa, whoa, wait one sec.

What's that? Oh, come on now.

I left it out in my
ride or should I say

I left it out in your ride?

Whoa, wait a minute, now,
I didn't sign anything yet.

Don't start any of that
high pressure stuff.

I ain't gonna try any of
that hot pressure stuff

but it is fair that I warn you

there're some other
people interested in the car.

- Yeah, right.
- Ronnie?

You know you left
your engine runnin'?

Yeah, I know I just wanted
y'all to hear how the engine

just purrs at ya.

Ooh, yeah, it purr nice too!

- Ronnie?
- 'Mm-hmm?'

do it have one of 'em
lighted mirrors inside

so you can check your hair
before you get out of the car?

Oh, yeah. Yeah,
you're lookin' good too.

- 'Yeah.'
- you know what I'm sayin'.

I got all the service
records on the car.

I mean I really kept
it up. Believe that.

Treated it better
than my girlfriend.

- Yeah, why're you sellin' it?
- My girlfriend's makin' me.

- Well, are y'all ready to go?
- Yeah, I'm ready. Okay.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Tires screeching]

Hey, yo, man! Come back
here with that car, man! What's..

Hey, y'all better bring
that car back here!

Oh, lord, roc, that's awful.

Well, he did leave
the keys in the car.

Yeah, well, they don't know
whose car they stole either.

Look, I gotta catch the bus,
sweetheart, I'll see ya later.

- Hey, roc! Roc! Guess what?
- Shut up, Joey.

Well, that's good, I just
bought a breakdown on me

except for bein' hit.

- What happened?
- I was buyin' a newspaper.

Some guy came speedin'
down the street drivin'

Ronnie Paxton's car.
Almost ran me over.

That engine was just
purrin' as it went by me.

[Phone ringing]

Hello? Yes, he's
here. Who's callin'?

Oh. Joey it's for
you. It's a Billy Miller.

Oh, damn, no! No! I'm
not here. I'm not here.

- What's the matter, son?
- Pop, that's Billy Miller.

He used to play
saxophone in my old group.

- I'd think you'd wanna talk.
- Yeah, you'd think that.

But I don't pop, you see, i-i..

I borrowed some things from
him I never gave him back.

- Like what?
- Well, you know, the usual.

Some clothes, a few dollars..

Couple of his girlfriends.

Joey, now, I already
told the man you're here.

- He's waitin'.
- Tell him you made a mistake.

Tell him you saw a
lump in the couch.

- Joey!
- Come on, son.

Get it over with. No use
puttin' off the inevitable.

Stand up. Be a man.

Take the call.

- Alright, pop.
- Good.

I wanna hear this.

Hey! Billy!

Yeah, man, long time no hear.

Uh, yeah, look, about..

Huh?

Yeah, my lip, my
lip is fine, why?

Yeah. Yeah, man,
I can make that.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, thanks, man.

H-Hey, man, you ought
to be ashamed of yourself

waitin' so long to
give me a call, man.

Yeah, yeah, okay. I-I'll
be there, I'll be there.

Alright, thanks, Billy.
Love you, man, love you.

Man, I don't believe that.

My man, Billy Miller just
hooked me up with an audition

with les mccann.

Theles mccann?

Yup. They're right
here in Baltimore.

They need a new horn
player, see, the regular guy quit

because of this eagle thing..

Now this could be the
biggest move of my career.

An opportunity to play
with the les mccann!

Oh, that's great, son.

Now, this calls
for a celebration.

Pop, I think it's a little too
early for me to be drinking now.

No, I was gonna take you
out for a big, fancy meal.

But, shoot, if all
you want is a drink

I'll take you to charlene's
later for happy hour.

[Saxophone music]

Hey, Joey, I understand you
got a big audition with les mccann.

How'd you know that, roc?
No, don't tell me. Eleanor.

First thing she did was call
you down at the garage, right?

No, better than that,
she had it programed

into our electronic message
board in the cafeteria.

And there it was,
your name in lights.

Boy, was I proud. "Joey Emerson.
Auditioning for les mccann."

Wow. And that's,
that's all it said?

Well, you know, that and
it's Leslie uggams' birthday..

The cafeteria ran
out of pork and beans.

That's great, Joey!

Yeah. Thanks, roc, but
I'm a little nervous though.

Oh, Joey, what're you
gettin' all nervous about?

- You sound great.
- Thank you.

- Hey, sweetie, baby.
- How's it goin', baby?

Roc, you know what,
I've been listenin' to Joey

practice all day
and he soundhot!

- Alright!
- Mmh-mmh!

Well, I gotta get on
down to the hospital.

- Oh, roc.
- 'Yeah?'

Ronnie Paxton called,
they found his car.

- Oh, good.
- He raised the price though.

- What?
- It's a convertible now.

Goodbye, baby.

Somebody stole
Ronnie Paxton's car?

Man, they don't know
who they're messin' with.

Hey, roc, this, um..

This audition's probably the
biggest shot at my career now.

I may have a chance of
playin' with a named group.

Well, Joey, I'm happy for you,
I mean I really am, you know.

I know sometimes I
give the impression

that I'm not behind you.

Well, to tell you the
truth, roc, that's, uh

that's the kinda
impression I've got.

Joey, I am behind you.
One hundred percent.

- And I hope you can forgive me.
- Oh, sure I can.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, look-look,
Joey, I circle, um

some nice single apartments
here in this newspaper.

Why don't you
check 'em out, okay?

[Jazz music]

[Music continues]

- Beautiful, Joey, beautiful.
- Alright, alright.

- Alright.
- Thank you.

Thank you for letting
me audition, sir.

You need anything else?
Uh, richer composition?

- Uh, some improvisation?
- 'No.'

- some coffee?
- No, that's fine, that's fine.

Oh, that's was great, Joey!

Excuse me, brother,
do you work here?

Oh, every Thursday,
I'm right out back.

I'm a garbage man.

Billy, this is my brother roc.

Oh, oh, hey, roc! Yeah!
How you doin', man?

- How you doin'?
- Yeah, yeah.

Uh, excuse me a minute, Joey.

- We're gonna talk.
- Sure.

Nice meetin' you, roc.

- Roc, what're you doin' here?
- Oh, Joey, look.

I was right out back,
so I thought I'd stop in

and give you a
little moral support.

Look, I caught your number.
You was cookin', Joey.

If that mccann man
ain't a knucklehead

he'd hire you on the spot.

Hey, Joey, you flying the skies.

- You ain't lyin'?
- I ain't lyin'!

[Gibberish]

Oh, man! Alright! Alright!

Hey!

Hey, Joey, now, you
scored. You scored.

But there's just
one little thing.

What's that?

Les has heard all about

your reputation with women.

My reputation with women?
Who'd he hear that from?

Me.

You know you remember
all my ex-girlfriends.

Yeah, I.. Yes, yes I do.

- Now, Joey.
- Huh?

- Honesty is my policy.
- I understand.

If you can tell me you cleaned
your act up, you got the gig.

Oh, hey, hey, man.

His act's as clean as
the streets of Baltimore.

- You'll be here all the time?
- All the time.

- All the time.
- All the time.

You won't ask for no
advances to gamble?

- Hell no.
- You make rehearsals?

Yeah, man, all the time.

- On time?
- On time. I'm here for you.

He's there for you.

Okay, okay, if you mean it.

- Les? We got a new man.
- He's got, he got the gig.

- Alright! Hey!
- Alright!

Thank you very much,
Mr. Mccann. Appreciate that.

Uh, Mr. Mccann, thank you. You
don't know how muchi thank you.

Thank you, too. Thank you.

- Okay, now, look here, Joey.
- Uh-huh?

Now, this here's the deal.

The first six months
we pay scale.

But we pay for your
hotel, you pay for your food.

- Okay...
- No, no, whoa, whoa.

Hold it, Joe, you
sellin' yourself short.

They need you,
just leave it up to me.

- Mister...
- Look here, Joey's brother.

Now, before you get started

now, Joey ain't worked
professionally in a long time.

You dig? So we're
givin' him a shot.

So, basically, it's a take
it or leave it type situation.

Yes, sir, Mr. Billy,
he'll take it.

You'll take it.

[Jazz music]

Yeah!

Play it harder!

[Music continues]

Yeah!

[Applause]

[Cheering]

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

We're gonna take a little break.
Be right black.. I mean, back.

[Laughter]

Hey, hey, hey. Joey.
Really got it goin' on.

- Hey, hey!
- You poppin'!

- Joey, you were wonderful.
- Better than ever, son.

Yeah, yeah, how'd it look?

- Well, you looked handsome.
- 'Thank you.'

- you looked professional.
- You looked employed.

Yeah, you really
like this, huh, roc?

Yeah, but when're
you goin' on the road?

Hey, you can't wait to
get rid of me, can you?

Well, the plan is
we finish up here

then we go to New York
for a couple of weeks

work our way through the
midwest on our way to la

to the playboy jazz festival.

- Oh, la!
- Yeah, that's far away.

Playboy jazz festival?
Very prestigious.

Oh, wiz, you look kinda
quiet over there, huh?

I am in awe, man.

- You really sounded great.
- Thank you.

I hope now that you've
made the big time

that you won't go
get the big head

and forget about all your
friends here at Baltimore.

Oh, come on, wiz.
Man, it's me, it's Joey.

Yeah, but you're right, I oughta
call my friends before I leave.

I'm just kiddin'. Just kiddin'.

- Excuse me, brother.
- Hey.

- Kenny Davis.
- Hey. How you doin'?

You were pretty good up
there. Real nice. Real nice.

Hey, thank you, you're
the guy I replace, right?

Yeah, yeah,
yeah. I quit this gig.

- Smooth move, ace.
- Yeah, I'm more of a fool.

I could've kicked
myself behind that one.

Anyway, you are one
hell of a horn player.

Well, thank you. I hear a
lot about you too, my man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
lookin' forward to hear you play

"boppity-bop". I love
playin' that tune, man.

That's the next song we gonna
play, why don't you sit down?

Nah, I don't think
that'd be cool, man.

Come on, man. Here,
use mine. Come on.

- I wanna hear you play.
- Sure about this?

Yeah, man, I wanna
hear what you sound like.

Come on, I'm gonna walk you up.

Hey, uh, hey, les.

Sure was nice of Joey.

Oh, he just threw him
a bone. You know, guilt.

[Jazz music]

[Music continues]

- Hey, Ronnie.
- Hey.

Look, I'm sorry. You know, I
wanna apologize about the car.

I feel, uh,
responsible, you know?

Oh, man, don't you
worry about that.

You know, that
wasn't your fault.

Besides there's two less,
walkin' around on these streets.

Now, Ronnie, I
hope that you know...

Hey, come on now.
We're both men.

Now, just go and sit back
and let's watch the show, man.

[Music continues]

[Cheering and applause]

He's great, man.
He's real great.

Yeah, yeah, he-he's great too.

Hey, hey, uh, I gotta
get back up, okay.

[Saxophone music]

[Music continues]

Thank you, thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.

Drive home carefully,
and love yourselves.

[Applause]

Wow, you know, I could
listen to this guy all night.

Well, you have, wiz.

Yeah, well, look, I'll be
seeing you guys, okay.

Come on, wiz, lemme give
you a ride to the crib, man.

Oh, no, Ronnie,
thanks. I'll walk.

Hey, thanks for the horn, man.

I said one number.

Hey, look, I'm sorry, but
uh, it felt good up there.

Joey, let me talk
to you a minute.

Well, then, I'll meet
y'all back home, okay?

- Okay, Joey.
- Alright.

- We'll see you later.
- Okay.

Okay, that sounded
really great, sweetie.

- Thank you.
- Alright.

Alright.

Say, Billy, wassup?

The gig is up, Joey.

What you wanna do that
stupid thing like that for

asking Kenny to sit in for ya?

I was bein' a nice guy.

For the first time, go figure.

Look, Joey man, I feel
really bad, you know?

You were good, but sometimes
it's just a chemistry thing.

How would you know, Billy? I
was only up there for one set.

Look, man, I know it
hurts, but it's business.

Business, Billy? I
was good up there.

You were good, Joey, you
were good, but Kenny was great.

- Yeah, on my trumpet.
- Come on, Joey.

It's hard enough
havin' to fire you.

Oh, you're firin' me, Billy?

I thought that was
just your opinion.

Lemme tell you somethin',
man, I feel like I've been used.

Now this guy pulls an ego
trip and he walks out on you.

I come in here, I save your butt

and next thing I know you
take this primadonna back

and I'm back out
on the street, right?

I didn't want it to
work out this way.

It wasn't planned.

Okay, Billy, sure
you didn't, alright.

Listen, uh, Billy, why don't
you do me a favor, okay?

Don't ever call my house again.
You just lose my phone number.

- Joey, please, man...
- No, no, no, I'm serious.

Now, Billy, this
is the lowest thing

that's ever happened
to me in this business

and I'm not gonna forget
it. See, you made a mistake.

You made a big mistake
by getting rid of me.

Y'all can't use two trumpets?

I'm sorry, Joe.

[Traffic bustling]

Where is he? It's almost
3:00 in the mornin'.

Well, you know, sometimes
after they finish a gig

they like to sit
around and talk.

You know, tell stories,
shoot the breeze.

You really think that's
what they're doin', pop?

I doubt it.

- Hi, son.
- Hey, Joey, how you doin'?

- Hey, Joey.
- I'm fine, thanks.

So what'd your friend Billy
wanna talk to you about?

Oh, uh..

Travel arrangements, you
know. D-Different bookings, uh..

You know working
on some new charts.

Oh, that's great, son.

Yeah, Joey, 'cause you know
we thought tonight, you know

after that guy, you know, got
up there and didn't stop playing

that maybe you were out.

Well, then you know
absolutely nothing

about the music
business. Excuse me.

- You are out, aren't you?
- Yeah, you got it.

- Oh, Joey sweetie.
- Son, I'm sorry to hear that.

Hey, hey, hey, I know
how we all feel, okay?

We all feel bad, but could you
just leave me alone, please?

- You sure, son?
- Yeah, yeah, pop, I'm sure.

Oh, come on, Joey, come
on, what the hell is goin' on?

Nothin', roc, I'm just tryin'
somethin' new with my horn.

You know, uh..

You're a garbage man, you
oughta know trash when you see it.

Yeah, look, Joey, I know.

That was a terrible thing
that happened to you.

Damn, I can't believe this, man.

I can't believe that he
would cut my throat like that!

And I can't believe, they
would take that boy back

after they hired me! Damn!
Roc, I can't believe this!

Joey, he was better than you.

- I know that, roc! Damn it!
- Come on, so you lost the job?

You just learn to live with it.

Roc, I can live with that.

What I can't live
with is the fact

that I might not be good
enough to keep a job.

Oh, no, Joey, if you
give up you'll never know.

Now, come on, face it,
givin' up playin' your horn

ain't gonna make
you feel any better.

It's just gonna make you feel
more miserable than you are now.

Okay, so tonight
didn't go too well, okay.

Tonight wasn't your
night, it was Kenny's night.

There'll be other nights.

And I'm sure one of
those will be yours.

- You really believe that, huh?
- Absolutely.

Why wouldn't I, huh?

I mean, the fact is
I'm your biggest fan.

I'd tell you to stick
with your music

if you were playin'
on a street corner

for quarters.

Well, you have
suggested that before, roc.

- I was only kidding but...
- I know, I know, I know.

Thank you.

[Chuckles]

Hey, uh, this is the money

they gave me for the
gig I want you to have it.

No, no, no, you worked
hard for that money, Joey.

And after what happened to
you tonight I couldn't take it.

Yeah, I knew that too.

Goodnight, roc.

Hey, Joey, um..

Did you ever think
that maybe, uh..

This is all payback
for all of the people

that you've screwed over
and taken advantage of and..

No, he was just better than me.

Uh, who put all my
clothes out in the hallway?
