Original subtitles

I'm just saying you need to pay more attention, Mr. Brown. Well, Cora, I do

attention. That's why Principal Gordon put me in charge of Arden and all the

crew's signs.

Well, the signs are supposed to read, slow, children playing, not ignorant

in the street.

Okay, I'm going to take them down. I already did.

Cora, I'm so lucky that you got my back. Yes, you are. We're like yin and yang.

Yep, that's right. Oh, you mean like the yin -yang twins, like the twins.

Yeah. No, Mr. Brown.

Yin and yang is like opposites that complement each other, like sweet and

Oh. Oh, okay, wait a minute. I get it. Okay, like I'm sweet and you salty.

I got you salty, Mr. Brandon. You salty.

No, no. Like you. Hey, Princess Gordon.

Hey. Good to see you, Miss Simmons. You too. You?

I'm not so sure.

Why not?

I just saw your new sign.

Stupidity is not a handicap.

Park elsewhere.

Oh.

Mr. Brown was just trying to help the handicapped. Yes, he put the sign in my

parking space.

My bad. Sorry about that, darling.

Oh, what confused you? My name?

Painted? Right there?

Oh, what's up, Gordon?

Can I talk to you for a moment? It's really important.

Oh, well, we need to sit down.

Alone. I need to talk to her alone, please.

You ain't got to tell me to leave.

She gonna tell me anyway, whatever you got to say.

Mr.

Brown, I'm sorry. Please, Mr. Brown.

You can tell me.

I'm leaving.

Okay.

Mr. Brown, the other side.

Y 'all can see me like this?

Well, who came to you in that big blue shirt with that yellow stripe?

Okay, Barney, you have to be so mean.

I am so sorry.

Go ahead, Gordon.

Well, I've got good news and I've got bad news.

Which do you want to hear first?

We'll take the bad news for 20, Alex.

Yeah, we'll take the bad news.

Mr. Brown, are you listening to us? No, I can't really hear y 'all. Y 'all come

closer to the door and speak up.

Speak into the mic.

I'm sorry again. Go ahead.

Well, due to budget cuts, someone has to be let go.

Really? Look like you're not going to need that parking space.

Don't be mean.

Uh -oh.

So what are you saying?

I've got to make more cuts in the school budget.

You know, with Reggie being gone, we don't need the football team or the

cafeteria no more.

Well, I'm in here now, Cobra. Just turn around and deal with it.

Well, we've done all we can, but the fact is, laying someone off is the only

way. And, Cora, you are the newest teacher.

Well, now, wait a minute. You not finna lay my daughter off. You not finna do

it. Cora need this job.

And my birthday coming up.

What you gonna get?

Well, you know, we could just lay off the newest staff member. Hold up. Wait a

minute. Put my hand in it. You not laying me off. You can't find my father.

He loves these kids. That's right, I love... Hold on.

Go to class!

I'm telling y 'all, better get y 'all behind the class.

I love these kids and they love me too. Hey, go back!

I just gonna hug one of y 'all till y 'all eyes poke out.

What do you decide?

I'll make my decision soon.

But I'll let you know.

Brown.

Terminator.

Chris McCoy. Don't come back.

Carter, that's messed up. Yes, it is, Mr. Brown. I hope he don't fire you just

so I can keep my job.

I'm not worried about him firing me.

Really? I'm not worried about it.

Well, Carter, you're not worried. Why am I so worried?

I'm just got me itching and stuff. I don't know.

Probably because you just...

Because I'm just... What's about to come out of your mouth? I'm just what? I'm

just saying.

What are you just saying? You sound like you're about to say something else.

Spit it out.

Well, I'm the teacher and a teacher's job is important.

Oh, my job as enforcement specialist ain't?

Carver, I'm Leroy S. Brown.

And the S stands for security guard.

Yeah, at first you wouldn't be sitting around here with that rash.

Itchy, too.

I can't believe my cousin gave me this gift.

Now I can't get rid of it.

Just like your rash.

Renee, what is this?

Oh, you like it?

A leukemia luau.

Yeah. Yeah, and you're going to charge patients $25.

Well,

I was going to put them on a payment plan, but then I figured...

patients to sit in a waiting room.

No, I'm hooking up. I'm going to have the red robes like VIP.

Like VIP? Yeah. Wow.

Yeah, well, in case you haven't noticed, this is a hospital and not a club.

You see, people don't come here to party. They come to either get better or

Talk about you, sister.

Keep it moving, keep it cracking, keep it moving.

Speak so soon.

Read a chart.

Did you tell her?

I'm writing you up.

Is this about the layoffs?

What layoffs?

Stop it, Brown.

I'll make my decision later.

Uh, uh, go on, go on, go on. Uh, can you keep a secret?

Yeah, uh, what you got?

Cora came.

Cora told me that you pee the bed, you steal paperclips, and you're using up

parking spaces.

I don't steal paperclips, and I don't take up two parking spaces.

But you pee the bed?

Well, yeah, back when I was four.

Teen?

You won't tell anybody now, will you?

Well, that depends.

Are you trying to blackmail me?

No, but Carver would.

Oh, hey, I see you, my buddy, my pal. I see everything.

What's going on out here?

Did I mention she knows it, too?

I know what you're up to, Mr. Brown. I know you know what I'm up to because

you're always in somebody's business rather than doing your own job. That's

because I'm always trying to...

the locker room's co -ed, we can save money.

That's totally inappropriate.

Not if you turn the lights off. Another way to save money. You need to keep me.

Did you care about the budget or did you just mess up again? Who, me? You not

finna sit here and disrespect me. Look at your little round face.

I'm not finna sit up here. You better stop talking like that.

Calm down.

Look, apparently...

Working in the same place and living in the same home is causing some problems

here. It seems to me like you two need some space from each other. Yeah, we

some space. We need some space.

I get farther than you can get farther than me.

Good.

That'll make my decision a lot easier.

Thank you, sir.

He was looking dead at you when he said that. He was looking dead at you. He

looked in your eyes. Your eyes. You're not going to sit here and look in my

eyes.

That's why I have a class room.

Well, I got a whole house.

and try to drink my water.

Your favorite brownies.

They're so good, make you want to slap your mama.

Well, thank you, Mr. Edna.

But right now, I want to slap my daddy.

Laura, you wouldn't do that.

Why don't you let me slap him for you?

I'm so upset with myself right now, Miss Edna.

What are you upset about, honey?

Because what I did was wrong.

Yeah, and you bet it was wrong.

Now, I've seen this behavior before.

A civilian trampling over an innocent family member in order to get what he

wants. They behave like that in the war?

War? Oh, I'm talking about the half a Thanksgiving Day sale at the mall.

Okay, now look, I swear to you, that wasn't my fault. I told Wacom, don't

in front of me when they open this door because people are going to be rich.

Well, whose fault was it this time?

It's all my fault. I was insulting, I was closed -minded, and I was

Oh, Cora, don't be... so hard on yourself. After all, you are your

child.

What can we do?

I think we should go slap him together. Oh, Miss Edna, no!

All right, I'll tell it.

I think you should apologize.

You're right, I should apologize.

I behaved badly.

I was so worried about protecting my own job, I didn't even take Cora's feelings

into consideration.

Okay, so what are you going to do about it?

Hello? Principal Gordon?

This is Mr. Brown.

No, no, no, don't hang up, don't hang up!

I know you've got a decision to make, so I'm going to help you make it.

I quit.

That's right, quit.

K -W -I -T.

What? Are you sure?

Yes.

I'm going to call Gordon and tell him I'm quitting.

I appreciate your help, Miss Edna. You know what? Matter of fact, I have a gift

for you. A gift? Yes. When I saw it, it just screamed, Edna. Oh, boy.

You're so welcome.

Why the hell would Edna give me something like this?

What are you doing up so late?

I feel so depressed about what happened with Cora.

I couldn't sleep.

Oh. Yeah.

What you doing? Hey, what's that?

Well,

Brown, you know I got something that just might cheer you up.

Oh, really? For me?

Yeah. Uh -huh.

Yeah, when I saw it, it just screamed your name.

Really?

I didn't want you to be screaming.

Well, I got ten of these.

Really? You got ten?

Ten. Well, what you use them for?

Well, uh, uh, huh?

Yes, I'm coming, come right away. I didn't hear nothing. I thought these

bad. in this country anyway.

It should be.

I'm so worried. He's been gone since this morning.

I'm sure Brownie's fine.

Fine? Woman, you crazy?

That man's been gone for 12 hours. He can be anywhere.

Lost in the woods, being eaten by wolves, bleeding to death in some...

Brownie.

And at our age, friends drop off like flies.

You'll get used to it.

Mr. Brown!

Ooh! Ooh! You stink!

What are you?

I took a new job. I'm a deboner.

A deboner? A deboner. Yeah, I take all the bones out the chicken so people

choke to death when they're eating the chicken nuggets.

There's no bones in chicken nuggets.

That's because we do our job down at Bones Be Gone.

Oh, my.

Goodness, looks like work followed you home.

Why would you take another job?

Because I quit down at the school.

Well, if anybody was quitting, it should have been me.

Now, Kerr, you're a schoolteacher, and I'm just a security guard.

No, no, you're an enforcement specialist, and that's a very important

no, no, wait, wait, wait. Aren't you just a hall monitor with a flashlight?

Aren't you just a woman that look like a man that's acting like a woman? Stay

out of my business.

Look, he's your security guard. They're both important jobs.

And I'm wrong for saying otherwise, Mr. Brown. I'm so sorry. No, no, Cora.

I'm the one should be saying I'm sorry.

Cora, that ain't why I quit, though.

Really? I quit because you my sweet little Cora Jean.

And being your dad is the best job in the world.

That is so sweet.

I'll catch you later when you wash your wings.

I'm touched.

Obviously not by an angel.

Look, you don't fool me, bro.

I can tell underneath that loud, round, funky exterior.

Ain't nothing but a big softie. Ain't that right, Colonel?

Oh, save all this emotional stuff until I leave.

Richard, the end of my...

One, zero seconds right now. We'll see y 'all. Bye -bye.

Mm -hmm.

Predictable as always.

You forgot something. Take the animal.

You better go outside and wash off those feathers before Cora debones you.

That's the best thing you've said ever.

Hey, Rob.

Yes?

Girl,

yes. You can wear a white wedding gown.

You think so?

Yes. People don't expect brides to be virgins anymore.

Especially you.

Excuse me?

What do I know about those guys in radiology?

That X -rated work.

offended. It was cardiology.

Well, I'm offended that you didn't invite me.

Hey, Sasha.

So, did you like the gift? What gift?

Oh, you mean the gift?

Oh, Renee, I love it.

You do?

Yeah. Yeah, you know, Will and I used it last night.

Mine and Cora's job.

Mr. Brown, that's wonderful.

Yep, yep. I know. It sure is. I want to share my happiness with others. Here you

go. For you, Sasha.

Just for you. You got me flowers.

Yep. From room 306.

Sasha, put them behind your back if Miss Johnson come rolling up in here.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

You didn't give me anything?

Yeah, I got you a gift.

You did?

Yeah.

Got a gift.

Bam.

Isn't that gift? Fine.

Where did you get this? Whatever you do, don't take it in the bathroom, witch.

I can't believe this.

Keep getting that gift back.

You know what? It's just like a rash.

It keeps coming back.

Where are you going?

ointment. Hey, get out this house! Run!

Uh, hey, Bruce McGonagall. Hey, it's for horses.

It ain't funny.

And it wasn't funny the first time either.

Uh, thank you for letting me and Cora keep our jobs.

Uh, so who did you have to let go?

Well, you remember Miss Pearl, the lunch lady.

Oh, the lady who only has thumbs.

That's her. I bet she'll tear a video game up.

Actually, from what I'm getting, she's either going to hitchhike across America

or she was, well, maybe she was flipping me off. I couldn't tell either way.

Oh, yeah, by the way, I got you something. When I see you, it just

Gordon!

Oh, man!

Thanks,

bro. You're all right.

I got a complete set.
