Hey, Joey, you see my TV guide?

Oh, the coffee table. Okay.

Hey, Joey. It's not
on the coffee table.

Oh, it's on your coffee table.

Okay, Joey. You wanna
come over here later

'and watch the game
with me and the guys?'

well, you can't because
I'm changin' the locks!

Roc, why are you yellin'?

Well, I'll tell you
why I'm yellin.'

I let that guy stay at
one of my apartments

take his time paying
the rent, eat my food

and what do I get in return?
He takes my TV guide.

Yeah, that's how it starts.

Next thing you know,
he'll be skippin' town

with your "jet" magazine.

Roc, you shouldn't be yellin'
like that in front of the baby.

I could hear you all the
way from the laundry room.

Oh, come on, Eleanor.
It doesn't bother Marcus.

- Look, he's sleeping.
- Oh, that's just the problem.

He's gonna think this
is the way people talk.

Eleanor, he's
just a little baby.

It doesn't matter, roc.

You heard what
the pediatrician said.

The number one
influence at this stage

of a baby's development
is his parents.

If he hears you screamin',
he's gonna grow up thinkin'

that this is the
way people talk.

We don't want that.

Well, if Marcus grows up to
be a guy that screams at people

it's Joey's fault, 'cause
he made me scream.

In fact, I'm gonna tell
Joey that right now.

Oh, Joey. You know,
I wanna thank you

for making me scream before

'cause Eleanor thinks
it's bad for the baby.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, well,
well, you should be sorry.

Uh-huh. Yeah, well,
well, yes, thank you.

I would appreciate it if you
bought me a new TV guide.

No, you can't borrow 89 cents!

Oh, hey, Joey. Come over here.

- You need to hear this.
- What's up?

Uh, Leo was just telling us how
his neighborhood watch group

uh, got all the gangs
off passion street.

Yeah, and best of all, the
pta assigned more members

and got more active
in the past few weeks.

People are starting to look
out for each other a little more.

Well, that's the kind of good
news that I'd like to hear.

And all this has happened since
roc Emerson's election campaign?

Mm-hmm. We got
people around here

excited about saving
their community.

Well, then that campaign
did a world of good.

My son Joey was the
brains behind the operation.

Yeah, he was roc's
campaign manager.

Joey, it's nice to know
that there are people

who care about their community.

Yes, I care about the community

and all of its members too.

All of its beautiful, brown-eyed

high cheek-boned,
Ruby-lipped members.

Listen, uh, would you,
uh, like to hear more

about the campaign, say,
over dinner sometime?

I think I would.

Hi. I'm Carla Maxwell.

Joey Emerson. Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

- Uh, pop?
- 'Mmm.'

you have to take
care of that thing?

What thing?

That, uh, that thing you
said you had to take care of?

That-that thing that Leo
was gonna help you with?

- You know, that thing.
- I don't remember.

Well, pop, amscray!

[Chuckles] Oh, that thing.

Oh, Leo, let's leave Joey alone

so he can take
care of his things.

Joey, I get the sense that
when you want somethin'

you really go after it.

Were you this ruthless
during your campaign?

You know, my philosophy is

you work hard, you play hard.

And what kind of work do you
do when you're not campaigning?

Oh, little bit of
this, little bit of that.

Uh, mainly I'm a
musician. I play the trumpet.

How exciting.

Where do you play?

Oh, um, here and there, you know

but, uh, actually, I'm not doing
that much performin' right now.

Oh, so you're doing studio work.

In a manner of speaking.

I, uh, I live in a
studio apartment, see?

[Both laughing]

So basically, you're
between jobs right...

Yeah, you might say that.
So, uh, so what do you like?

You like Italian?
You want Chinese?

Joey, look, I mean, maybe
it's none of my business

but, um, if you don't work
regularly, how do you...

Keep busy? Oh,
well, you know, I, uh

I do a lot of, lot of
community work, actually.

Yeah. I work, uh, u center

daycare centers, senior center.

Anywhere there's
a center, I'm there.

Well, you might say
i'm, I'm pretty center.

See you at the
track tomorrow, Joey.

The track?

Oh, uh, he's talking
about the, the train track.

Yeah, we-we're gonna take
a, a group of orphan children

there tomorrow to..

Yeah, to ride the
big choo choo, yeah.

Listen, Joey, I may need to
take a rain check on that dinner.

Um, I'm gonna be really
busy the next few weeks...

Oh, wait, hold up, Carla.
Hold up, hold up, alright.

Uh, let's be honest
with each other here.

Reason why you don't
wanna go out with me is

I'm out of a job.

Oh, no, that's
not it. Not at all.

You know, I've always wanted
a gambler I'd have to support

and bail out of a
severe financial crisis

once a month.

Yeah?

Well, get in line.

Ah! Hey, did you see that?
Hey, anybody want another beer?

- Yeah, I'll have one.
- Good.

While you're in
there, get me one too.

Oh, man, come
on. That ain't no foul!

[Baby crying] Oh, well,
that does it. Sorry, Marcus.

[Indistinct shouting]

Roc, would you, please,
stop all this yellin'?

The baby's cryin'.

I know, sweetheart.
That's why I'm yellin'.

Otherwise these
guys wouldn't hear me.

Well, guys, all this
yellin' you're carryin' on

is too much for the baby.

- Sorry, Eleanor.
- We'll try to keep it down.

Hey, Carlos, hand me another,
a cheese steak sandwich.

- Sly, where's my beer?
- Right.

Cheese steak, beer.
What, no chili fry?

Oh, roc finished that
off half an hour ago.

Roc, this is the reason
why heart disease

is so high among blacks.

You should start eatin'
better so you'll be around

to even play
basketball with your son.

Oh, come on,
Eleanor. Sly and Carlos

have kids and they
eat the same stuff.

No, no, no, roc. I only eat
this junk when I'm over here.

Don't look at me. I only
eat this junk in my car

at night in DC on the beltway.

And so start eatin'
healthy, anyway

to set a good example for him.

We talked about this now.

The way we behave
is going to affect

the way Marcus behaves.

There's something to
what she's saying, roc.

I quit smoking because
I did not want my kids

to pick up the same bad habit.

It was hard, you
know. Then I thought

it was my responsibility
as a parent.

Roc, roc, roc, there
is something wrong

with the picture on
your TV. Either that

or the bullets are
playing the Simpsons.

Ah!

- Come on.
- No, no, no, roc, roc, roc.

Now the-the bullets' head's
are longer than their legs.

[Indistinct chatter]

Oh, roc, don't bang on
the TV in front of the baby.

Sweetheart, he's
only three months old.

He doesn't understand
what's going on here.

It's not just what he
sees and what he hears.

It's what he feels.

Babies grow up
imitating their parents.

- She's right, roc.
- Yeah, roc, it's like my son.

You know what a
troublemaker he is.

Takes it all after his mother.

[Bangs TV] Roc. Look,
all I'm asking you to do

is please try and
control your temper...

I-I hear what
you're saying, baby

but I don't have
that bad of a temper.

[Bangs TV] I mean, do I?

[Bangs TV]

Well, tell her, damn it!

- Your house?
- My house. Let's go.

[Roc] Oh, now see
that? That-that-that.

See, you-you chased my
friends right out of the house.

Thank you. Now I have to
watch the game all by myself

if I can get this
stupid TV to work.

[Electricity crackles]

[Baby crying] Um..

I guess you won't
miss that TV guide now.

- I can't believe this.
- It was an accident, pop.

No, I can't believe you
actually wanna fix this old thing.

Can I use your
phone, Mr. Emerson?

I need to call the
office and I'll have

an estimate for you
in a few minutes.

Uh, you can use the
phone in the kitchen.

Oh.

Dad, roc was just mad

because I told him
he has got to watch

his behavior in
front of the baby.

Oh, pop, Eleanor thinks
the baby's gonna pick up

on every little thing I do.

What do you think
about that, pop?

Well, she has a point.
Uh, look at it this way.

You're thrifty, disciplined and
determined like your mother.

Joey, on the other
hand, is like me.

Easy-going, cool-headed
and he enjoys life.

Well, I'm all those
things, too, pop.

Yeah, well, which
one of them were you

when you broke that TV
with your bare hand, hmm?

Alright, Eleanor, alright.

Maybe there's something
to what you were saying.

I mean, I don't want
Marcus to grow up

yelling and breaking things.

Well, sweetheart, if
that's what you want

you are gonna have to
change your behavior a little.

Okay, okay, from
now on, no more yelling

no more bad temper and
no more pounding on things.

What about changing
your eating habits?

Baby, you gotta crawl
before you can walk, Eleanor.

Alright, roc, if you're gonna

work on your flaws..

Then there are a few other
things you might work on too.

- Such as?
- Well, let's see.

We don't want the
baby to grow up being a..

Penny-pincher.

Or controlling or judgmental.

Okay, okay, let me, let
me, let me put this down.

Alright? Let me put this down.

Don't be controlling

don't be judgmental

and don't be a penny-pincher.

Alright, fine.

Now how about you, Eleanor?

Are you gonna work
on your flaws too?

What, my flaws? Sure.
What are my flaws?

Okay, I'll tell you
your flaws. Flaws.

Flaw number one.
Eleanor, you're too..

Okay. Flaw number one.

Uh, uh, uh, here it comes.
Uh, uh, it's.. Get ready.

Uh, you're too quick
to criticize me. There.

- That's weak, roc.
- Okay, flaw number two.

- You are too nice.
- Too nice?

Yeah, I mean, it's a
hard, cold world out there.

How's Marcus going to
survive if he's nice like you?

Well, alright, roc,
you do have a point.

- Mm-hmm.
- I'll stop being nice.

You have to change
your eating habits!

Now, is that not
nice enough for you?

Well, Mr. Emerson,
here's my estimate.

Either I can shoot
it and Bury it for $5

or I can try to
repair it for 150.

One hundred and fifty dollars!
Are you out of your mind..

One hundred and fifty dollars.

That sounds
reasonable to me, sir.

Uh, if, uh, if you don't
mind, my wife and I

would like to sleep on that.
Uh, h-have a good evening, sir.

Have a good evening, sir.
Have a good evening, sir.

That's me.

Oh, Joey, the racing section.

Would it kill you to skip
the track just one day?

Yeah, you're right.

Wow, that was easy.

Would it kill you
to clean the house?

Look, what's wrong,
son? You seem down.

Pop, you remember
that girl Carla

you introduced me to last week?

- Yeah.
- She wouldn't go out with me.

And it's for the same
reason a lot of women

have been turning
me down lately too.

See, used to be
when a woman met me

she was attracted to
me because of my clothes

my Cologne, right?

Now they just wanna
know if I have a job.

Okay, you know, I, I can't
believe that women are actually

buying into this whole
financial security fad.

Uh-oh, I knew this
day was comin'.

What are you talking about?

You see, Joey, when
a guy is in his 20s

and he cute and he witty,
woman looks at him and say

"ooh-wee, there's a fun
way to spend my time."

But when that same
guy is in his 30s

and he don't have
his act together

woman look at him and say

"mmm, there's a lame
way to waste my time."

[Chuckles]

So, uh, so
what-what's your point?

The point is, Joey, romance
without finance has no chance.

[Eleanor] 'Mm-hmm!'

now, well, hold, no, no, no, pop

this is not just about
women and romance, alright?

Now I've been doing
a lot of thinking lately

and I've been
looking at some things.

I'm not very happy with the
way my life is going right now.

Well, son, it's not like
you need to find yourself.

You know what you
should be focusing on.

Yeah, I know, pop. I know.

- My music.
- Mmm.

Joey, for the past year

you've let your
musical career slide.

You've hardly even
touched your trumpet.

In fact, I think there are
some spiders livin' in it.

Well, you all know how it
is. Every time I try to get a gig

some other guy
aces me out of it.

I mean, maybe I'm just,
I'm not good enough.

Oh, Joey, you're a
great trumpet player.

Pop, if I'm so great, why
can't I make a living at it?

'Cause you never put
the time and energy into it

like you should.

Joey, when you set your mind

to somethin', there's
no stoppin' you.

Look at what you did with
roc's election campaign.

And look at what
you did with that

fundraising concert
at the music school.

Yeah, son, you need to
dedicate yourself to your music.

Right now, the only
thing you're dedicated to

is making the window
at the post time.

Alright, so what
if I put all this work

into my music and I still fail?

Well, that's the beauty of it.

The worst that could
happen, you'd be exactly

where you are now.

Well, that's great, pop.

You must have given
the halftime pep talk

to the buffalo bills.

You got a point.

He got a point and you still
leavin' with the racin' section?

Well, you know, if my
music career takes off

I'll still need a hobby.

Sorry it took so
long, Mr. Emerson

but I had to ask someone
at the Smithsonian

how to fix this thing.

The Smithsonian.

[Laughs] That's a good one.

Uh, so that's 150, right?

No, 200. Antique
parts are hard to find.

[Shouts] Two
hundred! Are you crazy?

For 200, I can get a new..

[Baby cooing]

[Calmly] Yes, sir. You're right.

That's $1, $2

$3, $4

that's 5, and...

Roc.

Well, that's one, two,
three.. You're right, okay.

Here's a, that's 120, 140.

Oh, okay, 200, there
you are. Now thanks a lot.

Now I want you to get
the heck, get, um, uh..

Have a nice day, sir.

See, Eleanor, I-I
wasn't screaming.

I wasn't penny-pinching.
No, no, no.

Hey, roc, the game start yet?

Hey, roc, you got
that old TV fixed, huh?

Damn, I thought for sure
this time you'd buy a new one.

Oh, a fine one with knobs on it.

[Laughs] Sly, come on,
what are you talking about?

If roc gets through to that TV,
how is he gonna heat the house?

[Laughs] Oh, you
guys sure are funny.

Oh, Eleanor, don't I
have some funny friends?

[Laughs]

Eleanor, did you remarry?

Oh, you're breaking me up, sly.

Hey, come on, guys. The
game's getting ready to start, huh?

- Roc honey.
- Hmm?

Could you watch the
baby for just a minute?

Oh, I sure will, sweetheart.

Carrots, celery sticks.
Where's the food, huh?

Roc, I'm not eating that
unless it's dipped in chili.

Well, now, listen, I'm
trying to eat healthier

to set an example for the baby.

Roc, you're trying to set an
example for a three-month-old

that's still dribbling
all over himself?

Just eat the celery
sticks and shut up.

I thought you were
working on your temper too.

I am.

Quiet, quiet, quiet down.
We're gonna watch the Lakers

get their asses kicked today.

Uh, Carlos, language.

The baby is very impressionable.

Oh, sorry.

We are going to witness
one lopsided contest today.

Oh, okay, look,
the laker girls, baby.

[Chuckles] Oh, man, I tell you.

- If I was not married...
- You still wouldn't know them.

[Chuckles]

Wait, I mean, I mean, I mean,
look at the one on the left.

Oh, my god, if she does
not shake in those things

either they're gonna fall off and
they're gonna hurt somebody.

Hey, hey, hey, let's
just watch the game.

[Male commentator] 'He drops them
both to the head fake, drives the Lane'

'and there's a 360 slam dunk!'

yay! That's it! That's what..

Okay, okay, okay,
that-that was good.

Now just sit down, guys.

Let's stay calm.

Roc, we-we're not
angry. We're excited.

- See, there's a difference.
- Yeah.

Well, the baby
doesn't know that.

Besides, I don't want
him growing up thinking

that this is a
normal tone of voice.

Modulate, sly.

Modulate your voice.

You know, if I
wanted this much fun

I could have watched this
at my grandma's house.

Roc, are we gonna watch the game

or you gonna tell
us how to talk?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm, I'm being controlling.

No, no, you're being a jackass.

Well, I, I wouldn't
be one if I had friends

who were more considerate

of the way I want
to raise my child.

Roc, don't tell me
I'm inconsiderate.

That's messed up, man.

Oh, I'm sorry. You-you're right.

I'm, I was, I was
being judgmental there.

No, you're being strange,
roc. Very, very strange.

[Male commentator] 'He, he's got
nothing there. Passes off to Trey'

'from three-point range
once again, Trey all net.'

[crowd cheering] 'There is pandemonium
on the forum here in Los Angeles.'

and that was well done.

- Well done.
- Well done.

Roc, can I see you in the
kitchen for a minute, honey?

Yes, my dear.

What's wrong, baby?

Roc, I think I owe
you an apology.

I was tryin' to make you
into somethin' that you're not

and I can tell you're miserable.

Oh, no, not, no, not really.

Uh, well, yeah, yeah,
yeah, I am, you know.

Oh, you know, Eleanor,
it's just that, you know

I'm getting older, you
know, and it's hard to change.

I mean, I wanna set a
good example for the baby

but I'm never gonna be the
kind of guy I want him to be.

I want him to be better than me.

Oh, roc, it's gonna
be hard for him

to be a better man than you.

You're so kind and caring

and sensitive...

Yeah, and angry and
loud and judgmental and...

Well, you certainly can't
change all that overnight.

[Chuckling]

Besides, none of us is perfect.

Like you said, I'm too nice.

Yeah, and you're too
quick to criticize me.

I think that's pretty
clear right now.

You're right, roc.

And you're also..

- You're too pretty.
- Aww.

[Moans softly] You're too sexy.

[Eleanor chuckling]
And you are too...

[Carlos] 'Roc, you're
missing a great game!'

I've got my own
game going on in here!

[Laughs]Oh, roc.

You go on and
you join your friends

and after the game, I'm
gonna meet you in the showers.

[Chuckles]

Hey, let's get some
real food, guys!

- Sly, order us a pizza.
- Yoo-hoo.

Alright. Pepperoni
sausage, Canadian bacon

salami, hamburger and butter.

I just ordered a
heart attack special.

[Trumpet music]

Hey, I'm surprised
you appreciated that

considering that was
written before your time.

Uh, actually, just
about everything

was written before your time.

[Roc chuckles]

Yeah, ooh, and the service.

- That restaurant was horrible.
- Yeah, I'm tellin' you.

Well, I am so proud of
you for not makin' a scene.

Yeah, well, you know,
I've learned how to handle

my anger in a different way.

I tipped him with a gum
wrapper and a piece of pocket lint.

- I'll play the trumpet...
- Hey, Joey.

- Hey, hey, hey.
- How's Marcus?

Oh, he's great. I fed him

and I just played
him a little lullaby.

Oh, thank you, Joey.

And thank you for
such a romantic evening

which, by the
way, isn't over yet.

- Hey, Joey.
- Yeah, what?

Look, I think it's great
you're getting back

into your music
and all that, right?

But, uh, do me a favor.

Play me something romantic.

What, for free?

Alright. No problem.

A dollar won't get you romantic.

- That will get you reveille.
- Here's five.

Alright, $5 will
get you a polka.

[Eleanor] 'Oh,
roc, I'm waiting.'

[chuckles] Okay, take it all.
