Alright. What I wanna know is,
who's throwing this barbecue?

And that you got to
find out if it's in Malibu

or just near Malibu,
because if it's not..

Oh, I gotta go. I gotta go.
Gotta go. Hey, thank you.

Thank you very much,
man. Hey, how you doing?

I'm rocky carroll welcome to
tonight's episode of "roc" live.

Listen, I know there was
a big snowstorm back east

and, uh, I hope everybody
is bundled up and warm.

Especially, this director
back in New York

who didn't cast me in this
show over a year and half ago

which forced me to
pack up everything

and move out here to California.

I didn't wanna move, y'all.

But, you know, when
you're unemployed

and desperate,
you'll move anywhere.

Even... sunny California.

So, uh, and this is a
message from Carl Gordon

to his friend Orville, uh,
"get well soon, please."

And to my director
friend in New York..

Here's to you, stay
warm and enjoy the show..

Coming from California,
you know the place

swimming pools, movie stars.

[Laughter]

- Oh. Oh. Next round's on you.
- Okay, pretty boy.

[Laughing] You know what?

Girl, we have got to get
together after work more often.

Well, we would but we
always have to reschedule

because Cynthia
keeps cancelling on us.

Yeah, you're always snuggled
up with that new boyfriend Dennis.

Mm-mm. Tell us more
about him, girlfriend.

I see you checking off

all the lingerie in the
Victoria's secret catalogue.

Well, what can I say?
He's just so romantic.

Would you believe he
kidnapped me from work..

Took me to dinner on a boat

where he hid these
in an oyster shell.

Oh, they're pretty.

- Oh, that's nice!
- Yes.

Girl, here's spontaneous.

One night last summer

Andrew took me on a
moonlit walk in the park.

We get to the big fountain
and suddehe grabs my hand..

And we jump into the water.

[Laughing]

Matty, everybody jumps

into that fountain
in the summertime.

Uh, not to skinny dip.

- Oh, girl! No clothes?
- Not a stitch.

Ooh, you bad.

Remember last week
when Roger and I

got stuck in the elevator?

Well, it wasn't stuck, Roger
pushed the stop button.

And then he pushed
all of my buttons.

And the red
emergency button, huh?

[Cackling]

Whoo!

Oh, well, okay. Romantic
and spontaneous, huh?

Oh, I know.

Roc bought me a box

of beautiful chocolate
candy for Valentine day.

[Chuckles]

Well, she did say bought.

That's pretty
spontaneous for roc.

Honey, for roc, that's
deviant behavior.

Oh! Now, wait a minute.

Roc is romantic.

It's just that, you
know, between work

and well we're both
landlords now and..

- We're real busy, you know..
- Eleanor, we're just kidding.

But every once in a while
you've got to clock out

and take a nice
evening walk together.

Watch the stars come out and..

Be romantic.

Roc is romantic.

In a sit in front of
the TV and let's watch

the ball game kinda way.

Well, you guys just have
a mature relationship.

Girl, did I tell you that Dennis

had flowers delivered
to me on the bus?

- On the bus? Oh, no!
- Girl, he is fine.

- He loves me.
- Flowers?

On the bus! That's nice.

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

- Hey, Joey.
- Hey, pop.

What are you doing?

I got this song dancin'
around in my head

I'm trying to hammer it out.

Now you know,
sometimes you can't tell

if the melody works until
you hear it with the lyrics.

Mm, alright, well, check
this out. It goes like this.

♪ I got a hole in my heart

♪ and I can't stand
it without you gal ♪

♪ well well

- the melody don't work.
- Come on, pop. I like the...

Now, son, not that i'm, uh..

Complaining about
your musical ability..

- 'Uh-huh.'
- but I may be able to help you.

Uh, remember that time you
and I wrote that song together?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I remember that. Uh..

Uh, well, I'm not
doing good by myself

so come on,
let's give it a shot.

- Now, I'm gonna help you.
- Okay.

- But... if we win a grammy..
- Mm-hmm.

I'm the one going over u-up on
that stage to hug Natalie Cole.

Alright, but if Halle
Berry's up there

we're gonna fight about that.

- Well..
- Alright.

- 'I'MMA take this chord here.'
- Hey, guys.

- 'Oh, hey, Eleanor.'
- Where's roc?

Uh, he walked down to the
store to rent some videos.

Oh, well, we're not
watchin' any movies tonight.

Tonight, my husband and I..

Gonna be dancing cheek to cheek.

Uh, excuse me, sis,
I've seen him dance.

- It's more like foot on foot.
- Oh, stop.

Come on, son. Let's go rehearse
for the, uh, soul train awards.

Yeah, that's right.

Eleanor... you better have
a damn good explanation.

- For what?
- For wrecking the car!

What?

Roc, the car is fine.

Look again, Eleanor,
it's missing a hubcap.

Roc, it's just an old hubcap.

Now, come on over here..

And sit next to me.

I got us a bottle of wine.

Why don't you go find
something to pop the cork with.

Yeah, why don't I
run it up on the curb

you know, and pop it off
like you did to that hubcap.

Roc, can we just forget
about the hubcap?

Hmm. Well, obviously,
some of us can.

Bet I could make you
forget about that hubcap.

Come here.

- Isn't that better?
- Oh.

Yeah, that's better.

[Laughing] Yeah!

You know what, baby, I was
thinking one of these nights

we should take a
long romantic drive.

Just look at the stars.

- Look at the stars?
- Yeah.

Eleanor, you have to
keep your eyes on the road

that's probably how
you lost that hubcap!

Roc, you know, there as a
time when I could get your mind

off of something as
meaningless as a hubcap.

Yeah, that was
before we had a car.

Can we just get
off the damn car?

Now, I'm talking about
us spending some time

together and being romantic.

W-W-Well, we're
already being romantic.

You know what I mean?
Why do you think my ear's wet?

- Never mind.
- Oh.

- Never mind!
- Oh..

You know I have a funny feeling.

Eleanor's friends
are filling her head

with all sorts of
romance garbage.

You know, I knew this girls'
night out thing was a bad idea.

Oh, come on, roc. Try and be
a little romantic for a change.

I'm romantic! Huh!

I bought her candy
for Valentine's.

Oh, Joey's right, son.

Now, that's something I learned
very early on with your mother.

And to this day, I'm glad
that I bought her flowers

and played her favorite song

and surprised her with
midnight train rides to New York.

Oh, it meant a lot to her.

Yeah, well, I just hope this is a
phase Eleanor's going through.

Come on, roc, why don't
you, you know, for once

be spontaneous,
do something crazy.

I'm spontaneous!

Why last week, just like that..

I took her to charlaine's for
all-you-could-eat hot wings.

Roc, romance is
taking your woman

to a place that doesn't
hand out moist towelettes.

Roc, I got an idea.

I got reservations for two for

cafe la Fleur for next
Friday night, alright?

Now this place is so
romantic they're building

a wedding chapel
next-door to it.

Look, it took me a month
to get this reservation.

I'MMA give it to you. Go
ahead, take her, she'll love it.

Alright, I see right.

I take her out next Friday

I'd give her whatever she wants

and then get things
back to normal.

Ha-ha! Hey, Joey, thanks a lot.

I'm gonna go up
and tell her right now.

[Joey] 'Alright.'

and then..

I'm gonna retrace her route

and see if I can
find that hubcap.

[Instrumental music]

[Male narrator] Don't go away.

There's more "roc" live
after these messages.

[Indistinct chattering]

[Instrumental music]

[Joey & Andrew] Whoa!

Hey, hey. Roc,
man, you look great.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. Where's Eleanor?

Oh, come on, roc. You've
got to get in the mood.

I'm in the mood
for takin' her out.

Buying and giving
her anything she wants.

So I can get back
home and enjoy myself.

Well, she's in the
kitchen putting the flowers

that you sent in some water.

Flowers? What? Now,
wait a minute, Joey.

Now I appreciate your
help with the reservations

but I don't need you to show
me how to be Roman-tic.

Roc, I didn't send any flowers.

- Well then, who did?
- Oh, roc.

The flowers are just wonderful.

And I just love the card.

Oh. Yeah, me too. Uh..

What did I say?

Oh, come on, roc.

[Chuckles] Oh, yeah,
that's pretty good.

I didn't know you
could be so poetic.

Well, you know me, baby.

Heh! I put a lot into it.

Did you guys know
that my husband

is taking me to
cafe la Fleur tonight?

[Joey whistles] Really?

Boy, I heard it's
hard to get in there.

Well, uh.. Well,
come on, sweetheart.

Let's-let's-let's go, baby.
You know what I mean?

I mean, you know,
the sooner we get there

the sooner we can
get the evening started.

[Chuckling] Don't wait up.

No telling what time my man
bringing me home tonight.

[Joey] 'Okay.'

[mumbling]

So, uh, pop, you bought
those flowers, didn't you?

Well, I knew roc wouldn't.

Shoot! We're still waiting
for him to buy real furniture.

Yeah.

[Cars honking]

[Roc] 'I'm just
saying, Eleanor.'

there's no reason
to give a valet 2.50

when street parking
is free after 6:00.

Fine, but you didn't
have to burn rubber

when the guy tried
to open your door.

- Your table.
- Thank you.

[Mumbles]

Thank you, sir.

A whole dollar.

A whole dollar of
laundry detergent.

Oh, roc... This is so nice.

Yeah, whatever you want, baby.

Good evening. I'm Anthony
and I'll be serving you.

Uh, would you care for
something from the bar?

- Yeah, two waters.
- Oh, honey, baby.

Wouldn't you much rather
have some champagne?

Champagne is very romantic.

Yeah, right. Whatever she
wants. We'll have champagne.

Uh, very good. Very good. Now,
may I suggest moet chandon?

Okay, what the
hell. Two glasses.

Uh-uh-uh, I'm sorry, sir.
That only comes by the bottle.

Well, then, could you
check to see if anyone

wants to split it with us?

Oh, I'm just
kidding, sweetheart.

Yeah, we'll have
the whole bottle.

[Laughs]

- Thank you, roc.
- Oh, well..

You know, this
is your night, baby

and, Mrs. Emerson, you're
looking especially Beau-ti-ful.

Oh, thank you, roc,
and I just love this place.

Me too.

Okay, now, our special
tonight is shrimp scampi

sauteed in a very
fine sauvignon.

Ooh, that sounds
good. I'll have that.

Yeah, I'll have
that too, and, uh

don't skimp on the free bread.

- Roc!
- Hmm?

- Don't you wanna toast first?
- Yeah, here's to you, baby.

No, no, no. To us!

Oh, th-that's good
too. Yeah, okay.

Ah, after all, this
is your evening.

- It's our evening.
- Yeah, that's what I meant.

You keep saying it's my evening.

Whatever I want.

Oh, that's because I
want you to be happy.

You keep looking
at your watch, roc.

Mm? Oh, I do? Oh..

You know, there's no sense
in spending all this money

on an expensive meal if
you're not gonna be in the mood.

Oh, come on,
Eleanor, don't be silly.

I don't care what
it cost, you know.

Just as long as we don't
fight like the other night.

What did you say?

I can't believe I
said that either.

- I don't care what it costs.
- No!

The part about us fighting.

You did this
because of the fight.

You brought me to
this nice restaurant

just to shut me up.

Now, come on, Eleanor. Baby..

I don't wanna sh-shut
you up, your friends maybe.

- But...
- My.. Is that what you think?

You think my friends tricked me

into wanting just a little
romance from my husband?

Well, yeah. I mean, no. I
mean, damn it's hot in here.

Roc, could you take
me home now, please?

Oh, come on, Eleanor.
It's the champagne talking.

You hardly had any champagne.

You think they'll take it back?

What are you looking at?

- Alright, let's hear it, pop.
- Okay.

"I feel it from my
head down to my shoe.

"Without you girl, I feel blue.

"I spend all day
thinking 'bout you.

Without you girl, I feel blue."

Pop, you know, you keep
saying that same phrase

over and over again.
"I feel blue. I feel blue."

Yeah, well, I thought

I feel black was just
a little too political.

[Instrumental music]

[Door slams]

Back so soon?

Oh, come on, baby.
I said I was sorry.

Hey, hey, sis,
what's in that duck?

Careful that's mine, you know.

Doesn't look like it
went too well, son.

Oh, pop, I did everything right.

I took her to a
fancy restaurant.

I ordered expensive champagne..

By the bottle.

Then what happened?

She said my heart wasn't in it.

Oh, roc, why is it that
flowers and a nice dinner

once in a while is hard for you?

Oh, come on, pop. I know you
did all those mushy things for mom.

You know, but i'm,
you know, that's just

that's just not me, you know.

- Sit down, son.
- Oh, lord.

I hope this ain't-isn't one
of your stories from the '60s.

You know all those
romantic things

I said I did for your mother?

- Yeah, pop.
- Well, I exaggerated.

Wait a minute. You
didn't.. You mean..

You didn't take mom
on midnight train rides?

Or play her favorite song?

Well, once.

And, well, it's been a
heavy burden on my shoulder

ever since because
I didn't do it more.

Oh, well, pop, you know,
Eleanor knows how I feel about her.

Are you sure about that, son?

Well, yeah.

I mean, she has to know, pop.

I mean, she knows I wanna
do things for her, you know.

I mean, one day, I'm
gonna buy her a big house.

Take her on a trip
around the world.

Oh, roc, you're
talking about goals.

Son, I'm talking about memories.

Wanna have to tell
roc to be romantic.

I want him to just be romantic.

I want us to be crazy in
love like we used to be.

You know, the way Cynthia
is with her new boyfriend.

Damn, this is good.

Joey.

Oh.

I'm sorry, sis. Go ahead.

I'm listening. I'm listening.

It's just that I don't
want roc and I to end up

like some of those old
couples I see at the hospital.

Sitting there for hours not
saying a word to each other.

Staying together 'cause they
done got used to each other.

I don't wanna end up like that.

Like... strangers.

Sis, I'm gonna tell
you something, okay?

And, uh, you got to promise not
to repeat this to anybody, okay?

Yeah.

- I envy, roc.
- What?

I envyroc.

Youenvy, roc?

Ugh! Sounds so much
worse when you say it.

Yeah, b-b-but it's true.

I mean, look I do all
those romantic things

that you think roc
should do right?

Plus, probably a few you
never even heard of, but..

But what do I get?

I mean, I get a few laughs,
I get a little bit of affection

and then I get to go home alone.

Roc comes home to you.

Eleanor, he lives for that.

Well, I guess so.

Alright, question.

What is it that roc used to do

before you were married
that he doesn't do now?

- Lots of things.
- Like what?

Well, he-he used to take me
on carriage rides by the harbor..

No, that was Tyrone.

Oh, I know, he
used to write me..

No, that was somebody else, too.

You know, Joey,
come to think of it.

Roc's never really
been very romantic.

Except if he found
a perk that day.

You know, sis..

When you work a
double-shift at the hospital..

- Yeah?
- Roc waits up for you.

- Yeah.
- That's your carriage ride.

When he rubs your tired
feet till you fall asleep..

That's your poem.

Now, that's not
the kind of romance

that they make movies
about, but hey, that's roc.

So, you know, don't
compare him to anybody else

'cause roc is definitely
not like anybody else.

Oh, Joey.

- Thank you.
- Ah!

How come you ain't
bring home any dessert?

[Chuckling] You done
ate up everything?

I'm serious. I-I need
something sweet.

Romance her, son.

If you don't, you may
wind up regretting it.

Hey, thanks, pop.

[Chuckles] You're welcome, son.

[Chuckles]

Well, Eleanor..

I'm sorry for
hurting you tonight.

Oh, roc, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't even pushed
you into something

you really didn't want to do.

Oh, that's.. You know, it's not
like I don't wanna be romantic.

It's just that, you
know, you know..

You know..

I'm just not good
at it, you know.

Roc, you're lousy at it

but you are good..

At so many other things.

[Roc chuckles]

Eleanor, you wanna go
out to the backyard and..

Look at the stars?

I'd love to.

Eleanor baby,
you're the greatest.

[Roc chuckles]

[Sighs]

Well, Loretta, that's another
week with a roof over my head.

[Audience applauding]

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

[Instrumental music]

Nah, that's no good.

Yeah, I know.

Pop, I think we should
just call it quits, man.

I guess trying to
write a song together

was just a bad idea, huh?

Well, it wasn't this hard
when we did it the first time.

I got an idea, pop. What if
we, uh... Sing that old song?

Maybe it'll get us back
on track for this one.

- Good thinking.
- Good, good.

- You remember how it went?
- Word for word.

Alright, let me hear it.

♪ The little fat dog
went arf arf arf ♪

♪ arf arf arf

♪ the little fat dog
went arf arf arf ♪

♪ all day long

[laughs]

Pop, you just sang one of the
stupidest songs I ever heard.

[Laughing]

We wrote that mess?

Well, you liked it
when you were seven.

Man, come on.
Sing a little with me.

You must be out of
your mind. I ain't singing..

♪ The little fat cow went moo

no, oh..
