Curtis: [ laughs ]

Well, coming here ain't gonna

Change that.

As you can see since the last

Time you was here, it's the same

Firehouse.

It's just different

Knuckleheads.

Hey, you're 20 minutes late,

C.J.

C.J.: unc, you knew I had to

Drop the kids off at school.

Curtis: I don't care.

Matter of fact, you got

Kitchen duty.

You can start mopping and waxing

The kitchen floor.

C.J.: I'm a lieutenant.

I don't do chores.

Curtis: well, I'm the chief.

Now, you do what I say, or you

Go home with no pay.

C.J.: don't you think I have

Enough on my plate?

Bill: come on, payne.

Cut this boy some slack.

He doesn't deserve twice

As much work.

Curtis: hold on.

Hold on, bill.

I know you're my mentor and

Everything, but I run this

Firehouse, not you.

Bill: ooh!

Hold on there, grasshopper.

I brought you into this

Firehouse, and I'll take you

Out.

[ laughter ]

Keenan: [ clears throat ]

Bill: come on, payne, you're

Just overreacting and angry.

Curtis: no, bill.

Curtis: no, bill. I'm not angry.

I'm not angry.

Bart: chief, I'm gonna go

Down to the school and check

On those fire extinguishers.

Curtis: would you shut up?

Can't you see we talking?

Bill: okay, that's it!

You're going into an

Anger-management class.

Curtis: but I'm not angry,

Bill!

And I ain't got time to go down

To no doggone class!

Bill: you don't have to go

Anywhere.

I got a guy who will come right

Here to you.

Curtis: but --

Bill: but nothing!

I've still got pull downtown.

Either my guy comes here to you,

Or I'm gonna recommend you for

Or I'm gonna recommend you for Suspension.

Suspension.

Okay, guys, this is walter, our

Anger-management consultant.

Walter: actually, I prefer

The term "Facilitator."

Curtis: whatever!

Walter, will you hurry up before

I get angry?

Bill: I told you.

Walter: don't worry.

I can handle this.

I am a professional.

Now, I know for many of you this

Meeting is mandatory, okay?

But think of it like anger.

It's not mandated, no.

It's regulated, okay?

It's something that you can

Control.

Right?

So, let's dive right in and get

Started.

Who knows what role-playing is?

Bart: ooh, ooh.

Walter: okay.

Bart: is it like when your

Lady dresses up like a cowgirl

And you dress up like a horse

And she saddles you up and you

Ride into town?

Ride into town? Yee-haw!

Yee-haw!

Walter: that is an

Exceptional guess.

But what role-playing is is when

You act out how you think people

Act.

So let's just get started.

Who can volunteer for me?

I need a volunteer.

C.J.: I'll go.

C.J.: I'll go. Walter: excellent.

Walter: excellent.

Walter: excellent. C.J.: okay.

C.J.: okay.

Where my damn cereal? Huh?

You fired!

Who breathing up all the good

Air?

That's my good air you breathing

Right there!

What? You fired!

You're two minutes late for work

Today?

You fired!

Who's that? Who is that?

Walter: is this accurate,

Chief payne?

Curtis: no.

Nobody gonna fire nobody over no

Cereal.

That's silly.

Calvin: but he would deduct

Calvin: but he would deduct It out of their checks.

It out of their checks.

It out of their checks. Curtis: my turn. My turn.

Curtis: my turn. My turn.

Now I'm gonna show you what I

Have to deal with every day, on

A daily basis.

A daily basis. Walter: emote.

Walter: emote.

Curtis: oh, oh, oh.

Hey, pops!

Chill, pops! Chill!

Everything is breezy.

I got it! I got it!

Hey, uncle c, you know, I got

Problems, man.

Problems, man. I got problems.

I got problems.

Can I have a puppy?

Bart: oh, can we?

I always wanted a dalmatian for

The truck.

Keenan: perhaps role-playing

Is not a good idea.

Walter: yes. I agree.

Let's move forward with some new

Techniques.

This first technique I like to

Call "Fay."

"F" -- feel the anger.

Oooh, ooh!

Oooh, ooh! "A" -- acknowledge the anger.

"A" -- acknowledge the anger.

"A" -- acknowledge the anger. I sure am angry.

I sure am angry.

"Y" -- yell.

"Y" -- yell. Aaaahh!

Aaaahh!

Now I feel so much better.

Now you try.

Now you try. Okay, "F" -- feel the anger.

Okay, "F" -- feel the anger.

"A" -- acknowledge the anger.

Bart: hi, chief.

Walter: "Y" -- yell.

All: [ softly ] Aaahh.

Walter: no, no, no, feel it.

All: [ louder ] Aaaah.

Walter: from the gut!

Walter: from the gut! All: [ loudly ] Aaaaahhh!

All: [ loudly ] Aaaaahhh!

His anger.
