[traffic bustling]

[Exhales] Shoot!
It's cold in here.

I know. I made a nice cup of
hot tea to keep you warm, daddy.

Oh, no, thanks. I just
had two cups of coffee.

And I'm wearing my thermal,
sweats and two pair of pants.

Oh, if nature calls

that's a lot to take
off in a short time.

That's a good point.

But the heat don't come up soon.

We could always burn that..

Terrible-lookin' Christmas tree

'that roc brought
home from the dump.'

[Eleanor] 'Don't get me started
on that pitiful tree, daddy?'

you know, I've been after
roc for the past five years

to get us a new, real tree.

- You know how he is.
- 'Yeah.'

if it's free or reusable, it
becomes a family heirloom.

Oh, man!

Hey, these things
wear out Mr. Emerson?

You just have to
buy a new furnace.

Yeah, alright.

- I'll put it in tomorrow.
- Yeah, what time?

Sometime between
8:00 A.M. and noon.

You just make sure
somebody'll be here.

Don't look at me. I got a life.

Eleanor, roc, i-I'm sorry

about the inconvenience
these past few days.

But I guess I should've
told you sooner but

I'm trying to sell the place.

- What? What you sellin'?
- You sellin' our house?

Yeah. I'm selling
all of my property.

Uh-uh, there's this,
these buildings here

it's all I got left.

Now, I'm moving back to Georgia

so I can take care of
my mother. She's sick.

Oh, i'm, I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, do you have any offers, Don?

Well, I had a buyer
but it fell out of escrow.

Listen, there's a rumor going
around in the neighborhood..

Look, I don't want you
guys to get upset but..

Andre Thompson has been
asking about the property.

- Oh, roc! No, god!
- Andre Thompson!

- That low life drug dealer?
- Come on, roc.

Listen, you know I wouldn't
sell to nobody like him.

But I'll make you
this one promise.

That I'll find you
a good landlord.

Oh, man! Oh, man! First
we don't have any heat.

Then we find we're
getting a new landlord.

No tellin' what he'll be like.

Well, thank goodness,
we have this beautiful

Christmas tree to enjoy.

And god willin', one day our
grandchildren will enjoy it too.

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

Man, the hawk is at it..

Oh, say, Joey, have
you heard about this?

At that economic summit in
little rock, Clinton dozed off.

I tell you, there must've been
something in those jelly beans

Ronald Reagan gave him.

Smells like... Burnt
corn in here, pop.

Oh, that's just my slippers
thawed off in the oven.

I bet it's a lot warmer
back in your hotel room.

Well, I wouldn't know, pop.

I decided to check out
before I went completely broke.

Then why don't you
move on back here?

- Roc said it was okay.
- Oh, come on, pop.

You know, I move
back here, I gotta hear

the same tired
old song from roc.

Get a job. Change your life.

Bring back the receipt.

Just do like I do.

Stack some crackers
and sardines upstairs

so you don't have to come
down when he's home.

No, no, uh, I
can't do that, pop.

Listen, don't say
anything to roc about this

'cause it'll just start
another argument

he'll say a lot of
things he regrets

and I'll say a lot of
things that I mean.

Then what are you gonna do, son?

Movin' in with Janice, pop.
Yeah, she believes in me.

Yeah, she'll just let
me practice my music.

And unlike roc, she won't
keep bugging me to get a job.

Well, it's good you don't
have to job hunt now.

Oh, there's a lot of
competition out there.

George Bush,
Neil bush, Barbara..

And Millie.

[Instrumental "jingle bells"]

[Laughing] Hey, what
you're doing, sweetheart?

Well, baby, in all
the Christmas rush

I forgot to send a Christmas
card to my cousin tria.

Hey, well, you know she's not
gonna get it before Christmas.

Well, I figured, I'll just
date it December, 12th

crumple up the envelope
and blame it on the post office.

Hey, Eleanor, sit down. I wanna
talk to you about something.

- Sit right down here.
- Yeah.

Eleanor, you know, we've
been living here a long time.

And even though we've
always had that dream

about buying a
semi-detached house

and leaving the neighborhood.

I mean, this is our
home you know.

When people like us leave

the Andre Thompson's
of the world move in.

Pretty soon, the neighborhood
are filled with crack houses.

Now, I can't live
with that, you know?

I mean, if we don't take some
responsibility no one else will.

- Yeah.
- So, Eleanor.

How would you feel if we
bought these houses from Don?

Roc, I know you have
good intentions, honey, but

if we buy it, it's gonna
wipe out our savings

and I know you, roc, you
can't go pass a pay telephone

without checking
the coin return.

Uh, yeah, yeah, well,
that's the kind of discipline

that gives up the means to
be potential home owners.

Right, while you checkin' the
bank statement and readin' it

when you see that we got
$12 left in our bank account

I know you, you gonna
start bitin' your nails

and mumblin' and pacin',
you'll be grouchy and grumpy

and weepy and all
the other seven dwarfs.

Oh, no, no, no, not this
time. That won't happen, look.

I've done some figuring and
according to my calculations

if this is the mortgage and
we bring in this much in rent

and in account for
maintenance and other cost..

[Chuckles]

we'll be making
$29 more a month.

Well, lord roll in
the wheel barrel

to carry out all that cash.

Oh, yeah, yeah,
alright. You joke now.

By the end of the
year that's over, um..

- $348.
- Okay, 14 carry the one.

That's $348!

Roc, baby, look,
everything you have said

makes perfect sense, honey.

But are you prepared
to give up your dream

of buying a semi-detached house?

No, no, no, see, if we put
that $29 a month in the bank

I mean, we can
reach for the stars.

I'm talkin' about a
fully detached house.

You know, and in the
meantime we could stay here

and help out the neighborhood.

Roc, if you feel this
strongly about this

baby, you know I'm with you.

Look, I'll call Don.

And look, I got all kinds of
ideas about how to save money.

I mean, for instance, since
we're paying the water bills..

I'm gonna ask the tenants
to limit their showers

to five minutes.

Roc, I don't know
if that's quite fair

it takes me more than five
minutes to take a shower.

Well, don't worry, baby.
You get 10 minutes.

'Cause you're gonna
shower with me.

Bring on the heat, baby.

♪ Yeah yeah yeah

[chuckling] Hello, Mrs.
Landlord, home owner.

Hello, Mr. Landlord, home owner.

Ha ha! Hey, you in
there, sweetheart?

You got so much on and I
don't know where you are.

- Here I am, sweetie.
- Oh!

You just got to squeeze
me extra hard to feel me.

Well, that's my pleasure, baby.

Alright, that's it too, baby.

That's the start, yeah, you..

Oh, shoot, man!
Somebody at the door.

Hurry back.

Alright. Hey, Jerry.
How you doing?

Okay, Mr. Emerson. I
got your new furnace.

Alright, look, I'm
buying these buildings.

We're in escrow right now.

So I'm gonna stay on
top of what you're doing.

Why do we have to
replace the old furnace?

'Cause carbon monoxide
will leak into the house

and people could die.

Well, roc, you don't
want that to happen

that could lower
the property value.

Baby, why are you so
worried about it for anyway?

You're not buying them, Don is.

Right, right, okay,
go ahead, put in there

all the furnaces you
want. Knock yourself out.

[Knock on door]

Oh, lord, have mercy.

That's crazy George
from next door.

Is he talking to himself?

No. He's havin'
a good day today.

[Roc] 'This boy's crazy.'

- whoo!
- Hi, George.

- How you doing?
- It's cold.

Don't, don't you touch me.

Uh, look, I saw
your truck outside

so I just wanted to let you
know our heaters out too.

Okay, I'll check it out.

[Shouts]

Whoo. Merry Christmas.

Shaker.

George, what you want?

Well, you know my grandmother,
she's watchin' "wrestlemania"

so I had to get outta the house
'cause she like to put my head..

Grandmom is something else.

Whoo, this stuff is used, huh?

'Cause my grandma
said all your stuff's used.

Not all our stuff.

Bad news. His
furnace is busted too.

Well, Don left a
check for one furnace.

You have to wait for him to
get back in town to get yours.

Oh, come on, roc, man, I
can't go to my grandmother

and tell her I ain't got no heat,
you know she gonna give me

that speech. "You ain't worth
a dime, George. You ain't.

"I'm cold and I'm old, I'm
so cold I'm about to turn blue.

"I'm already black.

"If I'm black and blue I won't
be able to cash my check, y'know

"I shoot craps every weekend,
I lost my teeth last week.

- "Shootin' craps I gotta get.."
- George! George!

Roc, we can't let
grandma freeze.

Why not? I mean, of course not.

Uh, okay, okay, okay.

G-Grandma gets the
furnace. Here you are.

Okay, I'll get right to it.

That's, you know, there's
some other things I jotted down

that needs some attending to.

"Dripping faucet.
Squeak on third stair.

Funny smelling
grandma's closet."

Yeah, I guess, I've to start
putting my socks somewhere else.

Let's go, George.
Okay I'm comin'. See ya.

I gotta find some
heat because I can't..

I don't know why I came
here to get the heat from y'all.

'Cause you ain't
even got no heater.

You ain't got no heater, I
gotta get some cuddle sock

or some packets of
luggage for my mom.

Come on, grandmother,
you know, if I didn't love you

I wouldn't do this for you.

I don't want that boy
up in here no more.

[Instrumental music]

Man, the hawk is
not playing today.

Oh. Say, son, how you doing?

- Alright.
- How's living at Janice's?

Well, actually, pop, it's not
working the way I planned.

She started to get on my nerve.

She keeps asking me the same
weird question over and over.

What question?

What about my needs?

Oh.

She has needs?
You're in trouble.

- Yeah.
- Why don't you come back home?

Oh, I told you, pop,
I can't deal with roc.

He'll just keep
bugging me to get a job.

Keep tryin' to give
me advice on my life.

Like I would seriously
take advice from a man

who's hobby is
rolling up pennies.

Well, Joey, if you
aren't happy at Janice's

why don't you come on
home and be unhappy

with people that love you.

No, pop, you know,
for me to come home

things gonna have to
be a whole lot different..

Well, let's not talk about
it, it's Christmas Eve, pop.

I'm her to see my
family. Come on.

Okay, fine, but I go first.

Clear the way, I'm
the oldest in the family.

- I get the space here.
- I get this..

Whew!

So, did you get a hold
of Don about our furnace?

No, but what's the
difference? It's Christmas Eve.

We can't get a guy here tonight.

Roc, what is wrong with you?

I'm lookin' over crazy
George's list and I'm thinking.

Being a landlord isn't
all it's cracked up to be.

I don't wanna go sticking
my head in grandma's closet.

You know something, pop?

Your closet get kind
of a funny smell too.

It's the sardines.

All kinds of things will go
wrong with these houses.

I mean the wire, it could
go, the ceiling could sag.

I mean the whole flat
foundation could fall apart.

We'll loose our
money. Look, Eleanor.

If escrow hasn't closed
we can still get out of this.

Roc, why don't we just put
it all aside for now, okay?

I made us some eggnog.

Let's just try and get
in the Christmas spirit.

That's a good idea. I got it.

Joey, if those are carolers

tell them to go fa la
la la somewhere else.

- Hey, reverend Adams!
- Hey, look who's here.

Hey, hey, reverend Adams,
what brings you here?

Well, first let me
say I'm happy to learn

that you're buying my
house. I feel safe with you.

Now, I don't like to burden a
man around Christmas time

but I've some leaky pipes around
my place that needs some fixing.

You know that there's only one
among us who can walk on water.

Am I right? Am I wrong now yo?

Yeah, well, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry about your pipes, reverend

but from now on that's-that's
Don Ellis' problem, you know.

- I'm not your landlord yet.
- Say no more, my brother.

I understand, perhaps
you wouldn't mind if we use

your home for the orphans
Christmas breakfast tomorrow..

Don't worry about
it. I'll fix them pipes.

- Don't worry about it.
- Roc? Roc?

It is Christmas Eve.

We cannot get a
plumber out here tonight.

Uh, hey, hey, roc, roc. Let me
go take a look at these pipes.

I used to do that kinda stuff
when I was living in New York.

- Thank you, Joey.
- Yeah sure, Mr. Preacher.

So, reverend, would
you like some eggnog?

- Why, yes, thank you.
- Here you go.

- Have a Christmas cookie.
- Oh, word up.

So, brother. We missed
you at services this evening.

Oh, yeah, well, uh, yeah, um..

You know, we lost our way..

Since you lost your way
I figured I'll find my way

over to you so you
could make your donation

to our Christmas fund.

There are a lot of people who
aren't as fortunate as you are.

Reverend, why
don't you look around.

Do we look fortunate to you?

Yeah. I could take you upstairs.

It would make you cry.

I'm sure it would, brother
Andrew, I'm sure it would.

But I'm sure a lot of homeless
people would be happy

with your situation.
Although it is a might chilly..

Reverend, I've given to the
homeless you know in the past.

You know, quarter
here, quarter there but, uh

things are little
tight right now.

Tight. Tight is a relative
term, brother Emerson.

Did you know that if you wake
up every morning in your right mind

and your right body
with all your health

and all your strength then
you've been truly blessed.

- Can I get an amen, sister?
- You can have that.

Thank you, thank you..

It's like what the
lord said at galilee...

Yeah, alright, I'm rich.
Yeah, yeah, okay, alright.

All I have is a 10.
Eleanor, have any singles?

Singles? My brother, don't
worry the lord will make change.

Sister Eleanor, I know
you're eager to donate also.

- I'll get my purse.
- Yes, you will. God bless you.

Oh, now, brother,
before I forget

here's a list of some things
that need fixing up in my place.

- Get to that soon.
- Here you go, rev.

- Oh.
- "Paint the kitchen", huh?

- "Shampoo the rug."
- Yes, sir.

"Regrout the bathroom tile."

Yes, sir. You gotta
know something.

The lord does not
like a dirty bathroom

or a dirty preacher.
God bless you.

Oh, man!

Now I'm working for
a crazy old woman

and a boy of the cloth.

Eleanor, we're
getting out to escrow.

I'm not cut out
to be a landlord.

Wait, roc, wait a minute.

Now you bought the
house because you said

you wanted to get
involved with the community.

I do, pop, but I don't wanna
go to the poor house doing it.

I mean these repairs cost money.

Roc, if you wanna
invest in the neighborhood

you gotta invest in the houses.

Okay, fine, but if we
invest in the houses

where will we find time
to do these repairs?

I mean, Don had a
full time superintendent

to handle all his properties.

We can't hire someone like that.

Well, maybe you can find
a guy who down on his luck.

A handyman who would work cheap.

Whoo! Hey!

I fixed those pipes. No problem.

[Joey humming]

- Joey?
- Huh?

I've got a proposition for you.

How would you
like to move in here

and work for us as our super?

Now, why would I wanna
do something like that?

Because I heard you're
running out of money

and you leaving that hotel.

- Oh! Hey, pop.
- I'm sorry, son.

I had to tell him. He was
gonna turn off the oven.

So, wait, what's the deal?

I move in as a super in
exchange for room and board?

Yes, you got it!

That would still leave me
time for my music, wouldn't it?

[Chuckling]

- Alright, I'll do it.
- Okay, alright.

But, roc, listen, listen.

You gotta promise
me, if I move back here.

You will never ever,
ever, ever criticize me

or the way I live my life again.

[Clears throat]

Alright, alright, okay,
okay. You got it. Okay, okay.

But now you have to promise me

that you'll never
ever, ever, ever

ever ask me for money again.

[Clears throat]

- Okay, okay, no problem.
- Okay, we got a deal.

Huh? We got a deal. Oh,
man, who could that be?

♪ We wish you a
merry Christmas.. ♪♪

Oh! Carolers.
Isn't that beautiful?

Oh, they so cute!

[Roc] 'Oh, look

[laughing]

Ah! You know what?

This turned out to be a pretty
good Christmas Eve after all.

It sure did. Hey,
Joey, welcome home.

Yeah, welcome home, son.

Yeah, welcome
home, brother-in-law.

Hey, merry Christmas, family.

And god bless us everyone.

[Male narrator] Happy holidays
from all of us on "roc live".

We'll be right back.

[Grunts]

You know, I like caroling
just as much as anybody.

But these damn kids
are giving me a headache.

Why won't they stop already?

I think they're waiting for
somebody to go, give them a tip.

Yeah, well, if that's what
they're waiting for they better

learn some easter songs.

I'm gonna tell them why don't
they move to crazy George's.

Hey, roc, come on, it's
Christmas time, kids are trying

to make us happy. How
you gonna tell them to go?

Joey, i'MMA keep
it nice and simple.

Kids, you gotta get
away from around here.

Hey, children... We like
your songs very much.

Mm-hmm. And we thank you.

Unfortunately, we
have nothing to give you.

So, goodnight and
merry Christmas.

Hey, hey, hey! Cut that out!

Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey!
I'm gonna set my dog on you.
