Good morning, good morning. Something smells good.

Cora, I think that's my new hair growth tonic. Yeah, it's working on me, too.

Look at it. Really?

Yes, you can see it. Let me see, let me see. Look at it, Cora, you see it?

I see all that number dust.

Hey, hey, laugh if you want to laugh.

But next time you know, I'm going to be having me some corn rolls.

Yeah, right. I'm going to have braids down here and there for you. I'm going

just be slaying them jokes like this.

Down with it, huh? Give me some beads, like Timmy Wallace.

Yeah, that's right.

Actually, I think that delicious aroma you smell is my coffee.

My brother, what you got in there?

That coffee's so thick you can serve it by the slice.

Don't talk about Will's coffee. It's strong like him.

That's right.

Yeah. Want some?

Oh, no, no way, no way.

One sip of that, I'll be buzzing around here like a chainsaw. I got to get to

work. That's a way of saying it's nasty.

Speaking of work, I'm going to have to get me another job.

What happened to your job at the hospital?

It ain't enough.

Really? No, no. I got to get me another job to help take up the slack around

here. And when I say slack, Will, I mean you.

I'll be back to work soon.

Matter of fact...

The review board is going to be deciding on my case any day now. Oh, that's

good, Will. I'm sure glad, because your kids is treating this like it's an all

-you -can -eat buffet around here.

I think I seen that little white one sneaking up a to -go plate in his room.

Stop picking on Joaquin. He's not white.

He's mixed.

Mixed with what?

Hungry and Puerto Rican? I seen somebody like sneaking food.

That's me. I'm sick of it.

Uncle Brian, you are so cheap. I mean, you are tighter than those pants you got

on.

Don't let him get to you.

Curry, back up for him. Back up, Curry. Back up. What is it? What?

Unemployment is contagious.

If he cough on you, you're going to get fired.

Well, I got to run.

Curry, don't run.

Job.

She got to go to her job.

Where's she making money?

You want me to get busy, too, doing something other than sleeping, eating,

drinking?

Well, since I'm not working, Uncle Brown, can I help you with anything?

Shut up. Yes.

Pick a beer. Any beer. Just grab one and go pay it. Run and go pay it.

Get a money old brand. Uncle Brown, I can't really afford to do that. I'm

suspended without pay.

You about as useful as a doctor practicing doctorism without a license.

Wait. You don't have a license.

Nope. You can't practice.

You're always cutting on me.

Ain't nobody cutting on you. You're the one, the doctor. You be cutting on

people.

Oh, nephew, I'm sorry. I didn't know your feelings was going to be hurt. You

just, oh, you're so emotional.

This is a tough time. I've been going around depressed for, like, weeks. Well,

why don't you jump on over into full depression?

It's okay.

It's going to be all right.

Just let it out.

Bust that crime.

Come on, nephew, cry.

Let it out.

You all right?

Yeah. Okay.

Nephew, just relax.

You don't have to get depressed.

No, I think I'm going to go run.

You know, thanks for listening and for being so supportive.

Okay, I'm going to take your wife.

Sweetie, you got time for breakfast? I can whip you up some eggs. No, thanks.

Well, how about a cup of coffee? I will grab one at work. Okay, well, slow down

for a second.

I came by the hospital looking for you. Renee said you left. Yes, she was right.

Yeah, well, where'd you go?

Oh, so now you want to know where I was?

Last night you were too busy kicking it with your ex -fiance.

Oh, look, I wanted to talk to you about that.

I didn't plan to be left alone with Tomiko. My mom came back early.

But you decided to stay anyway.

Yeah, but... But look, Will.

Ever since you've gotten suspended, you've been sitting around here feeling

sorry for yourself.

And then your mother comes in here with your ex, and you all want to go out and

have family day?

Well, I've got news for you.

I am tired of you, Will. I am tired of your excuses, and I am sick and tired of

your mama.

Can you leave my mama out of this?

Why should I, Will?

You didn't.

So I guess you don't want no egg.

Hey, Cora.

Oh, hey, hey, Gordon.

How you doing?

Good. I just heard a funny joke from the kids in detention.

Oh, really? What is it? Yeah, now, what drink has a cold?

I don't know. What?

Coffee.

Get it?

No. No wonder they in detention.

I got another one for you.

What's colorful, loud, and round in the middle?

A beach ball.

No, no, no. Try one more time.

Um... Hello, Carter.

Mr. Brown.

That's it.

Look at you.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I'm securing the premises. I'm your new security.

Really? Yes, I'm security -fied. Yeah, I had to contract with a security agency

to basically get a temporary to serve as a security officer. Really? Yeah, yeah,

yeah, but they had to have very specific qualifications.

What you think got me the job? Was it my cat -like reflexes? Maybe it was my

ninja -like agility.

Like this.

You fit the uniform.

That's what I was going to say next. I said to myself, Seth, I look like I fit.

Y 'all go ahead. I'm superior.

Congratulations, Mr. Brown. Thank you, Kurt. Thank you. Get back up. Be

Kurt, because I don't want nobody to get you.

So, Mr.

Brown, should you be making your rounds right about now? Oh, no, no, no. I

already made my rounds. I checked the basement. I checked the roof and the

shop.

I'm trying. to keep this school.

I ain't delinquent. Come here, you, Jimmy.

Who are you? Who are you?

I'm your worst nightmare.

I'm the new security enforcement officer. I'm something like a Navy SEAL.

training. Oh, the hall monitor.

Boy, ain't nobody no hall monitor.

What you doing loitering around in my halls anyway?

Carver, you know this punk? Yes, this is Milo. He's a student.

I have my pass, Miss Simmons. Oh, really? You don't give Miss Simmons

Try to give Carver nothing. I take the pass.

Now, what's your name?

Milo. Milo what?

Jackson. Milo Jackson.

What's your social security number?

I'm trying to help him.

Boy, your barber should have finished cutting the rest of your hair.

What is that, a faux hawk?

I'm just mad because you got a no hawk.

I started to uppercut you and knock all your teeth out.

Tim, you all right?

Get on out of here and go to class.

Milo, go to class.

I said hurry up.

Don't run.

Tell him it's a new chef in town.

And his name is Mr. Brown.

Well, I'm going to be out there securing everything.

Holler at me if y 'all need me.

Thank you very much.

Stop it.

You're hungry, but you are wrong.

How's everything going, baby? Well, everything's fine except for this oval

beast. She keeps untying her robe and flashing all the Alzheimer's patients.

Well, good thing they won't remember.

All right, well, I will grab her another robe and chuck on her, okay? Okay.

Okay, thanks.

Hey. Oh, hey, Troy.

Had a good time last night. We closed the place down. I know.

Look, I cannot remember the last time I did that.

Troy, I just have to thank you so much for listening. I really needed that.

Anytime you want to get together for coffee or conversation, I'm available.

Oh, well, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

So, when's your next break?

We could take a walk and, uh, talk.

Uh -huh. Yeah, well, I think I've done enough talking already.

Yeah, you're right.

Are you

crazy? What the hell were you thinking? I was thinking the same thing you were.

crossed my mind.

Okay, you know what? We cannot do this, okay? I can't do this. I am married. If

you weren't married, would things be different? Okay, you know what? That

is not up for discussion.

The point is that what just happened shouldn't happen. It will never happen

again. Sasha.

Sasha. Okay, maybe I misunderstood.

No, you sure as hell did.

I'm sorry, okay?

Let's just back up.

Troy, you need to listen to me.

Okay, I talked to you as a friend. I confide in you.

Do you think that I wanted that to happen? Look, can we finish this

later? No, we can't because there is nothing to talk about. Okay, this

conversation is over.

Dr. Crane, are you following me?

No. Why not?

Sasha, I'll get those charts to you later.

That is great because I will send Renee over to get them.

Girl, did you see that?

I'm wearing them down.

He ignored me.

That's Pam right there.

That's Pam. He's fighting.

Fighting him back. Fighting him back.

You go ahead on and fight, Renee. What do you want?

Oh, um, can I punch out early?

Renee, you left early yesterday.

I know, but today I have female problems.

Oh, you got female problems? Mm -hmm. What kind of female problems, Renee?

There's this female whose husband I'm trying to see, and she's in the parking

lot trying to keep my car.

She's so cute.

Help me get it.

Help me get it.

Oh, it's a joke. Fine. That's why half of you will be hearing the same joke

semester. Don't be sick.

Sorry. Don't nobody in here move.

We got a perpetrator. What is it? Somebody perpetrate me. What's going on?

is it? I was walking my feet, and I happened up on this right here. And this

That's a fake hall pass, and the ink is still wet on it. Really? Yep. Either the

ink is wet or my hands are wet, because I dropped my keys in the toilet, and I

ripped them off.

I'll take care of it, Mr. Brown. No, I know I take care of my own stuff. Cobra,

call me Officer Brown when we're at school.

All right, listen up, you perpetrators.

Delinquents. We can do this the easy way or we can do it the hard way. It don't

make me no never mind.

I tell you what, I'm going to stretch everybody's in here backpack.

Okay, class, I just need you to cooperate. Just cooperate with Officer

tell you what, any resistance will be met with sweat and cruel punishment. Let

me kill your neck.

Is your head leaning?

Why is your head tilted to the... I tell you what, just hold your head like

this.

Just like this.

Now.

Oh, you got attitude.

You're attitudinal, huh? You're attitudinal. I'll see you with your

fake, the fake... What is these?

Nails. And your fake purse.

And your fake shoes.

What else am I going to find? Maybe a fake hall pad?

Huh? What else am I going to find in here?

Is this your chatter right here? Is this your bankroll? Is this your Pueblo?

Right here. So, Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown, that's a bit much.

No, it ain't a bit much, Corrie. That's just 35 cents.

37 cents.

Look at you. You cheat.

You could have at least sold that $20 for them things.

You're delinquent and you're stupid.

Mr. Brown, don't do that.

Carver, I'm trying to help this girl. Carver, I'm scaring them straight.

You scaring?

Hey,

you, come here. Hey, come here.

Look, come here.

Looking like a broke -down Jimmy J .J. Walker.

Get over here.

Man, didn't we do this already today?

Get up. Back up. Get your hands out your pocket.

That's how they kill Macamex. Come on, man.

You're playing with your...

You know what? You said something. I heard your mother. What do you think

is?

Looking like you wake up eating cornbread every morning.

Unfold your arms before I break your arms off. I'm security.

Take all your stuff out of your pockets and put it on this desk right now. Take

it. I saw you rip your pockets off. Take this stuff off.

Turn that way. Don't be looking at me. You don't look at me. Turn that way.

You're looking like Harry. You're going to burn the studio down.

Boy,

how old are you?

You look bad. You look 40.

Look at your skin.

It's all wrinkled. What is going on in here? This boy right here bumped me. I'm

a victim of racial profile.

You're black. You ain't... You're a victim of a bad haircut.

Milo, sit down.

You need to get a perm.

Mr. Brown. Yes, sir. Can I see you in the hallway, please? I'm glad you asked.

Carver, if anybody move, you're in charge.

Hit him in the shin.

Yes,

sir. Mr. Brown, we have a problem.

Yes. Did you know Milo is 37 years old?

Mr. Brown, I'm not talking about Milo right now. I'm talking about you.

You're doing too much, Mr. Brown. You're out of control.

What you talking about?

I'm just trying to break up this counterfeiting ring around here. It's

international, locally even. The teachers are saying that all your

completely disruptive.

That's because they're used to a stanky system.

This system stinks.

Mr. Brown, consider yourself now on probation.

You're going to, like, I see what you're doing.

This is what they try to do to Shaft, too.

I'm not going to give emotion.

I got emotional wall. I'm not going to show you.

I'd like to say that this looks good, but only doctors get to have bad

handwriting. Do it over.

Who pulled one of your tracks out? Okay.

Why are you all snappy and on edge?

Do you need a little something, something to take the edge off? Cause I

little something, something in my purse. I know that my purse is in my car.

I'll be in the car.

Sasha, can we talk?

I've already said everything I have to say to you. Well, I haven't said

everything I have to say. Okay, Troy, can't you see that I'm trying to work

here? Well, I guess you don't have time to hear about the board calling me back

to talk about Will.

What do you have to say?

Oh, so you have time now.

Okay, Troy, I am not here to play games with you.

If you need to talk to someone, maybe that person should be Will. Or maybe I

should talk to the board and tell them the truth about what I know.

Troy, wait a second.

Are you trying to blackmail me? No, I'm just giving you options.

What do you want?

I want to make sure that what happened between you and I never happened.

Well, that's what I said from the beginning.

And that's what they all say at the beginning.

Are we done?

Yes.

Glad we had this conversation.

Hey, everybody.

Dr. Brown, my star resident.

Hey, I learned from the best.

The board will come to see that soon enough, I'll make sure. All right. Hey,

good talking to you, Sasha.

Will, what are you doing here?

Came to see you, babe.

Okay, well, couldn't you have waited until I got home?

Well, no, actually, I couldn't.

Now, look.

Listen.

These last few weeks, I've been selfish and unreasonable.

You've been nothing but supportive.

Honey, you don't have to talk about that. Yes, I do.

This whole thing with my mom and Tomiko, it just got out of hand.

And expecting you to lie to the review board was just wrong.

I made a mistake, and I'm sorry.

So am I.

I'll show you the back of the ambulance, like I do.

Move, go.

Hey, Cora.

Hey, Gordon.

We made it through another day, huh? Yeah, no scratches, no bruises, and only

one disruption.

All right. Did Mr. Brown take care of it?

Mr. Brown was here.

Well, he can be a little enthusiastic, but that's Mr. Brown.

It was his first day. He was excited.

I'm afraid this is going to be his last day.

have to fire him, Gordon.

He means well.

Don't you know that eating candy in my hall is a direct violation of code

OI812?

Look at you looking like you're looking.

Who do you think you are?

Snoop Puffy Puff or somebody?

Look at your hair. It's just... Scattered up. You need to get your ends

in more, more, exfoliate more.

Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to write you a warning.

And if you do it again, I'm going to bust you in your face.

You understand?

Consider this a warning.

Keisha, I see you, girl.

If you're going to leave your baby in the locker, at least leave it cracked so

he can breathe.

Now, this is your warning. If I have to warn you again, I'm going to scalp you

like an animal.

Do you understand me?

Do you understand?

Oh, you're trying to.

That's how you got to treat these kids.

Kids? Somebody being rough.

Mr. Brown, Gordon had something he wanted to tell you.

Well, Gordon, I know I haven't found out who's making these fake hall passes,

but I'm on it. I appreciate your high level of energy, but I regret to inform

you that Mr.

Brown, we can't. Wait a minute, droopy drawers.

Where you written this fair head go to, Clay?

Droopy Draws, you left your ID in Mrs. Simmons' classroom.

I want you to know that.

Look, here.

Here's your ID.

Looking like you.

Looking. Pick it up.

I told you. I knew it. I knew it. Look at that. What is this? What is this?

Um, these are my hall passes.

You a lie and a half. That's what you is.

Two lies.

What's your name?

Milo. Milo what?

Well, why does this have Milo McAllister on it?

That's Milo McAllister.

Milo Johnson.

Get your stuff to my office now.

Yes, sir. And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for this melon

harmonica. I'm going to kick something, so I'm going to kick. Hurry up!

Hey, you better not be running.

Yeah, that's how you got to treat these kids.

If he'll lie, he'll steal from me. If he'll steal, he'll be lying to you

Well, good, Mr. Brown.

Thank you. Did he do a good job, Gordon?

Very impressive.

Thank you very much. I'm just doing my job. I'm just doing my... Thank you so

much. I love you all so much. Now, Mr. Brown, speaking of your job, I have

Gordon.

I'll see you in the morning.

Thank you so much. Oh, you're so wonderful. Bright and early, all right?

yes. You're bright just like Cory.

Corrie, the Lord is good. Yes, he is. He's been better to me than I've been to

myself. I can't tell at all. If I did, I wouldn't.

Corrie, I'm official.

Yes, I'm happy for you. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Corrie, let me

show you my key.

This right here is the main key.

Okay. Yeah, that's the main office. This right here is to the principal's

office. And this is the master key right there. But I don't know what that room

is. You know what a master room is, Corrie? You don't know what a master

is?

Corbin, this is to the cafeteria.

I'm going to stop and get you a lunch.

Or two.

Or three.
