All language subtitles for Roc s02e17 Million Dollar Brother.eng

We're gonna be ready in
a minute. Alright, alright.

Alright. Watch the
kinks. Ow! That hurt.

Oh, hi!

Uh, well, I'm Ella Joyce
and this is "roc" live.

You know, the episode you're
about to see has gone through

many changes
during the last week.

We actors never know
from one day to the next

what the writers are
gonna come up with next.

Of course, they haven't bothered
to make my part any bigger

but who gives a damn.

Point is, I'm very professional.

I've learnt to think on my feet.

I know how to roll
with the punches.

I know how to handle these
last minute script changes.

- Ella.
- Huh?

Oh, ladies and
gentlemen, Corbin bernsen.

Hey. Ella, Ella, Ella!

Ella, the writers just
sent us some changes.

What? See, see what I mean?

They sent me these
last minute changes.

And I handled them?

[Grunting]

And you, give me this brush.

[Eleanor] 'Enjoy the show.'

[Joey laughing]

Hey, pop! I just
finished cleanin' out

some stuff up in the attic.

You're not gonna believe the
kinda stuff roc keeps up there.

Check this out. A disco ball.

Now why would roc wanna
keep this way up in the attic

when it would look so
groovy over the kitchen table.

- Hey, pop, did you hear that?
- What?

I thought I heard somebody say..

♪ Burn baby burn

♪ disco inferno

♪ burn baby burn

♪ burn that mother down

♪ all the way burn baby burn

Joey! Joey!

♪ Burn ba..

Joey, boogie your noisy
butt back on up to the attic.

- I'm tryin' to get some sleep.
- I'm sorry, pop.

Disco ball, I just
flipped, you know.

Come on, pop, you
sound a little cranky.

You know, maybe you should
try gettin' some sleep at night.

Son..

Do you notice your new bedroom

is directly over my head?

And when you
blow on that trumpet

instead of countin' sheep

I'm countin' the seconds
before I go up there and kill you.

Well, you know, I'm
sorry, pop, but you know

since roc hired me as his super

the only time I get
to practice is at night.

Don't get me wrong, son.

I enjoy listenin' to you
play around midnight.

What I don't enjoy
is listenin' to you

play around 3
o'clock in the mornin'.

- Hey!
- Hey, everybody.

- Hey, son.
- Eleanor home yet?

Yeah, she's in the kitchen.
Hey, is that a juicer, roc?

It sure is.

Oh, great.

Now, we can't
even throw out the..

Brown lettuce and the furry
tomatoes. We got to drink 'em.

[Laughs]

Yeah. Well, in some
countries, that's a delicacy.

Mmm.

[Sniffs] Somethin' in here
is makin' my mouth water.

- That's the meat loaf.
- I was talking about you, baby.

- Oh, well, you in a good mood.
- That's right.

Starting right now, I'm puttin'
us on the high road to success.

Oh, yeah? And how do you exactly

plan on gettin' us
to the high road?

First thing, Monday
mornin', I'm quittin' my job.

I see, so, we're gonna
take the high road

and get off at that first exit?

[Chuckles]

No, I'm serious,
baby. I'm serious.

You won't believe
what happened today.

I told you about that rich
guy on my route, Jim Larson?

Yeah, that guy
who owns that chain

of dry cleaners and
convenience stores?

Yeah, that's him. Well, he's..
Well, we've become good friends.

And today we're
talkin' and he tells me

he wants to set me
up in my own business.

Roc, baby, you
don't know anything

about any of those business.

Yeah, but I know
plenty about garbage.

I'm gonna be runnin' my own
waste management company.

Roc, that sounds great, baby

but have you thought
this thing through?

I mean, you're gonna be
missing out on your seniority

and your pension, and
your benefits, and your perks.

Oh, yeah. Damn, yeah.

Well, you know, I always wanted
to be my own boss, you know.

And this is my chance.
This is ourchance.

Ah, but I'm gonna
miss those great perks.

Well, you're gonna
be a businessman.

And you can buy us a whole
new brand new set of perks.

Yeah, that's right and with
all the money I'll be rakin' in

pretty soon you'll be able to
stop working these crazy hours.

In fact, you could quit

and do something, uh, you
know, way more satisfyin'.

Really?

Like what?

Like, you know..

Be a housewife.

Now, who that's gonna satisfy?

Well, not-not me, you
know. I like a workin' woman.

You know, a wo-woman who works.

You know, you.. What do
you think of this juicer here?

[Theme music]

[Jazz music]

So, my bookie comes
up to me and he goes

"aye, Joey Emerson,
you just lost all that money

bettin' on a super bowl.
What are you gonna do now?"

Well, I sure can afford
to go to Disney world.

That's for damn sure.

Mm-hmm.

Fifty two to 17, man.
That's it. That's it.

I'm through bettin'
on the super bowl.

So, pop, you think the nicks
will go all the way this year?

Mmm.

Pop, you alright?

'Cause all you've
been sayin' is "mmm."

Hey, pop.

Hey, uh, hey, hey, pop.

Oh, I'm sorry, son.

I was just tryin' out
these new earplugs.

They work real fine.

You can practice your
trumpet all you want tonight.

Oh, well, thank
you very much, pop

but I figure you won't
be needin' 'em long.

You see, as soon as roc
gets his business deal going

I figure, he'll move us to a
big house on a huge estate

and there'll be miles of
rollin' hills between us.

Yeah, and when roc
promotes you from super to, uh..

Gardener, you'll be
rollin' all over those hills

behind the lawn mowers.

That'll be the
last thing I'd do..

- Hey.
- Hey, son!

Well, you sure look like you're
ready for that big meeting.

[Chuckles] I was
born ready, pop.

Yeah, that's what we like
to hear, roc. Confidence.

That's the key to fast
livin' and easy money.

Well, Joey,
confidence isn't enough.

You've to have
something to back it up.

See, I've got a plan for how
to deal with this business guy.

You can sum up in three words.

Negotiate,
intimidate, ingratiate.

Now, roc, you've been readin'

quips and quotes
of Jesse Jackson.

Hey, pop, everything
I do has a purpose.

First, I start off with
a strong handshake

to show authority.

Then I pick the table.

That way I take control.

And when we sit down to talk..

I look him straight in the eye

and never blink.

- Sounds like a plan.
- Sounds good.

- Hey, roc!
- Hey, Jim!

How you doin'?

Hey!

Well, well, Jim, I want you
to meet my father, Andrew.

And, uh, this is
my brother, Joey.

- Hey!
- Hey.

Well, this place is great,
huh? So much character.

You know, all it needs
here, a couple of video games

Espresso machine.

I smell opportunity.

No. We're just
close to the harbor.

Hey, Jim, let's sit,
sit right over here.

Nah! Flexibility.

Great. Alright.

Okay, Jim... Let's get started.

Alright, first off as we agreed.

I put up all the money,
you supply the labor.

That's right.

I've even begun
lining up a route for you

but remember, you
run it any way you want.

You're in charge.

- I like the sound of that.
- Good. Nice.

Starting salary, before profit
sharing, will be fifty thousand.

What?

Is something wrong?

Uh, well, no, yeah-yeah-yeah.

Um, woo! What about my perks?

I see where you're coming
from, okay, okay, how about, uh

four health and dental plan,
three weeks paid vacation

and on, uh, special occasions

use of the company condo in
scenic secaucus, New Jersey.

Huh?

Huh?

- Do we have a deal?
- Uh, let me think about it.

Okay, I thought about
it. We've got a deal.

Okay. Look, let's celebrate
with something special.

- Two beers! Okay.
- Alright. I'm in.

Congratulations, roc.

We're gonna be the tsars
of waste management.

- 'Cause we're smart.
- That's right.

Now, you remember, the key
is the right man for the right job.

Yeah, I know that. Listen, I
got a friend who's a mechanic...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, no,
no, roc, roc, when it comes

to maintaining our trucks

I got this puerto rican
guy, he's a real whizz.

Jose, Carlos, Pedro, whatever.
They got the whole family of 'em

even the baby knows
how to change the oil.

[Chuckles] That's funny.

And when it comes to
watchin' over our finances

I got to introduce
you to ira blumberg.

He's got a nose for numbers.

[Chuckles] A nose.

Listen, well, Eleanor, Eleanor
has some accountin' classes.

- You know, she can...
- Roc.

Roc, you just
concentrate on the labor.

I mean, come on, let's face it,
when it comes to hard workers

you people are hard to beat.

Me people?

Roc, I know that your people

were the backbone
of this country.

Yeah, yeah, well, we,
you know, we tried.

You see, I'm part of
the rainbow coalition.

And you, you're my
million dollar brother.

Yo! High-five.

[Male narrator] Don't dare go
away, there's more live "roc"

right after these messages.

[Indistinct chatter]

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I should have walked
out on him, pop.

No, no, I should've hit him.

Instead..

I high-fived him.

Well, the high-five
was alright, roc.

It was that little butt bump
y'all did that was embarrassing.

I can't believe my
new business partner

is Marge schott.

Oh, man, you know, I don't
know why I didn't tell him

where he could
shove his partnership.

I know why, 'cause you're smart.

Yeah, or because the little
racist was buying the drinks.

Oh, come on, pop.
You of all people.

You know, I can't go into
business with this guy.

Whoa! Whoa! Wait a
minute, wait a minute.

Now, roc, come
on, listen to yourself.

Come on now. Everyday you
deal with guys like Larson, right?

Who-who, you know, for
whatever reason are-are bigots

and they don't, and they
don't even know it, right?

I mean, it's the bank
teller that says to you, uh

"can I see an extra piece of
ID, please? Like a fingerprint."

[Scoffs]

Right? Or-or the sales
clerk that follows you around

the store goin',
"can I help you?

Can I help you? Can I help you?"

Well, you know, they just
think they're doin' their jobs

but they do it a little harder
when we come around.

Oh, pop, Joey, look,
I know all of that.

Well, roc, since you know
that, it shouldn't stop you

from getting your
piece of the pie.

Well, Joey, that's the
difference between you and me.

See, I have principles.

Hey, I got-i got principles too.

Joey, your idea of principles
is not going to the track

on mother's day.

Look, roc, you're
always talking about

how Eleanor has to
work so hard, right?

Well, now, here's your
chance to do somethin' about it.

Come on, roc, think
about the money.

Oh, pop, you know
what I'm talkin' about.

Explain it to him.

Oh, now, roc, when I
was a Porter on the railroad

you think I enjoyed being
called Sam or Joe or uncle?

Ah!

I did it because I had
a family to support.

And it was important to me.

Now, son..

We've all got to
take a little crap

in this life sometimes.

You just need to decide
what's important for you.

And then you'll know how
much crap you got to take.

So, roc, you wanna
change the world?

You get the power first.

You take that man's money,
you build your business

you stick it to 'em.

Are you sayin' I should go
into business with this racist?

I'm sayin' if this racist wants
to use you to make money

then you use that racist
to make a difference.

[Sighing]

[Indistinct conversation on TV]

[Sighs]

[TV switches off]

- 'Oh, hey, daddy.'
- Mm-hmm.

It's 2:00 A.M. what
you still doin' up?

Well, Joey was practicing
his trumpet again.

Well, I thought you bought
yourself some earplugs?

I did, but every time I wear 'em

I can hear myself breathin'.

And when I fall
asleep I keep dreamin'

that I'm being
chased by dark vader.

[Eleanor laughing]

Well, daddy,
maybe you should try

stickin' some
cotton in your ears.

Well, that might
work for the sleeping

but I refuse to wake up
every mornin' pickin' cotton.

Hey, pop.

Oh, what are you
doing down here?

Are you followin' me?

Uh, pop, look, i-i, I
was just wonderin'

could you come back upstairs

and bang that broom
on the ceiling again?

It was kinda helpin' me
keep time, you know?

- Yeah, I can come...
- Okay, never mind.

Never mind, never mind, pop.

Okay, okay.

- Hey, Eleanor.
- Oh, roc baby, I'm sorry.

- Did I wake you?
- I can't sleep.

Oh, well, that's alright, baby.

I'm sleepy enough
for the both of us.

So, tell me, how
did your meetin' go?

Is my husband on his way
to makin' his first million?

You know, Eleanor, I've been
thinkin' about losing my perks.

I mean, you have
to admit, you know

we've, we've gotten some really

great things over the years.

Well, yeah, baby,
we have gotten some..

Some things.

Now, I've made some
really good friends

you know, working
for the city and, uh..

Well, are you startin' to
have second thoughts?

- Well..
- Oh, baby, come on.

Now, just think about
your new friends.

Now, this Larson guy
seems like a very nice guy.

Oh, baby.

It's hard for everybody when
they're takin' their first step

to have second thoughts.

And I want you to know..

I'm really proud
of what you doin'.

And I think you should
be proud of yourself too.

Yeah, I'm proud. You know,
I mean, why shouldn't I be?

I'm the backbone
of this country.

[Joey whistling]

- Hey, pop.
- Uh-huh.

- Ready to go to movies.
- Oh, sure.

- What are we goin' to see?
- Going to see "home alone 2."

Oh, I hate those
"home alone" movies.

Why is it that every time
a little black kid gets lost

in the big city, it's
called loitering?

But when it happens
to a little white boy

it's the feel good
hit of the season?

[Doorbell ringing]

- I got it.
- Alright.

[Whistling]

- Oh, hey.
- Hey, hey, it's Joey, right?

- Right, right, right.
- And you're, uh..

- Andy.
- And you're, uh..

Jimbo.

- Jim.
- Andrew.

So, you and my brother

are gonna make a lotta
money together, huh?

Yup, yup, you know, I'm gonna
talk to roc about hiring family.

I like to see people
take care of their own.

I know that's something
you people believe in.

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

Just brought by the
contract for you to sign.

Good.

Well, we'll leave you
two to talk business.

[Joey] 'Right.'

uh, my son's takin'
me to see "Malcolm X."

You know, the movie
about the African-American

who awakened the country to
the insidious nature of racism?

Hey, I really
enjoyed that movie.

But you know who would've
made the quintessential Malcolm?

- Who?
- Eddie Murphy.

Okay, okay, okay. Come on.

Alright, roc,
here's the contract.

It's pretty simple stuff.

Just your standard partnership
agreement. You sign right there.

Okay. Everything we
agreed to is on this paper?

Oh, yeah. Yup, yup, yup.

Hey, I talked to this
Iranian friend of mine.

He's gonna get us great deals
on some reconditioned trucks.

Oh, hello.

Oh, I'd like you to meet my
wife, Eleanor. Jim Larson.

- Hey, it's a pleasure.
- It's nice to meet you too.

You know, I'm really proud
of what you and roc are doin'

and I want you to know I, I
wish you both much success.

Well, thank you, thank you.

- So you're a nurse, huh?
- 'Oh, yeah.'

that is such a noble profession.

Well, only when we
hear their call buttons.

[All laughing]

Well, she's terrific.
You must be very proud.

Yeah, I sure am, and she's
up for a big promotion too.

- Head nurse.
- Yeah.

Well, she's a shoo-in for that.

Oh, you really think so?

Oh, black and a
woman? A two-fer.

[Clearing throat] A-a-a two-fer?

Yeah, hey, roc, I
want you to know

I've always been a
supporter of affirmative action.

People say we aren't
making great strides in this.

Alright, that's it, dammit.
Let me tell you somethin'.

My wife's promotion has nothing
to do with affirmative action.

- Well, good.
- My wife is smart.

She had to work her
butt off to graduate third

in her nursing class, and
she's still workin' hard.

Hey, i-i-I'm not sayin'
she's smart, not smart

and I, and I know
she's a hard worker.

You know somethin', you
know somethin', Larson?

- You're a damn racist.
- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Roc, take it easy. Look, if I
said somethin' wrong, I'm sorry.

I'm not a racist.
I'm on your side.

And you know, y-you're
the worst kind of racist

because you don't
even know you are one.

You're being awfully
sensitive about this.

Damn right, I'm sensitive.

I've to deal with you
people all my life.

You think just because you
give some work to some latinos

or buy trucks from an Iranian

or go into business with a
black man, that you're okay.

Well, you're not okay with me.

You know what, I don't
wanna be your mill..

Find yourself another
million dollar brother.

Why is that the first that you
people always go to, racism?

Well, you know somethin'..

Roc, I don't want
you to be my partner.

You're a racist.

You see these eyes,
they're color blind.

I only want to be in
business with people like me.

Well, then move to South
Africa and you can take your pick.

You should be
ashamed of yourself.

Do you have a picture of
Martin Luther King on your wall?

[Sighing] I swear, roc baby, if I
have to do another double shift

they might as well
roll me out of bed

and prop me up at my station.

You know, I found
out Larson's a bigot.

I mean, I thought
that guy was my friend.

What happened?

Well, I got a picture of
the inside of his mind.

I mean, he thinks
blacks are hard workers.

Latinos are natural mechanics
and Jews are good with money.

Roc, that's nothin' new.
We've dealt with bigots before.

- They are fact of life.
- Yeah, I know that, Eleanor.

But nobody wanted this to
work more than me, you know?

But being business partners is
like being married, you know?

I didn't wanna have
to live with this guy

pretendin' that his
racists jokes are funny.

No, roc, and you
shouldn't have to.

Now this is not
the only opportunity

that we ever gonna have, honey.

Yeah, I know, baby,
but you know somethin'?

Larson was right
about one thing.

It is about the right
man for the right job.

And I'm the right man.

This just wasn't the right job.

- We're gonna get there, baby.
- Yeah, I know, sweetie pie.

- Oh!
- Mm, one way or another.

- Yeah.
- Right on..

Kitchen table.

[Male narrator] "Roc"
live will be right back.

[Trumpet music]

Oh, that's it.

That's it. I've had it.

[Music continues]

[Music stops]

What? Listen,
pop, what's the ma..

I'm-I'm practicing,
pop. What's the matter?

What's-what's.. Is
someone at the door?

Wh-wh-what you doin'?

What? Aye, aye, aye, pop, wait.

'Hey, come on, pop.
Okay, alright, okay, pop.'

I get it. I'll stop practicing.

Thanks. It's gettin'
cold out here.

'Pop! Come on!'

[knocking the door]
'Come on, pop.'

'come on, pop.'

'please.'

'hey!'

[upbeat music]

[Inaudible]

[Music continues]
