Hey, Joey, come on down here, the cab will be here any second.

Yeah. Yeah.

Now as soon as your plane

gets into Miami I want you to call me.

- Alright, Eleanor, alright. - Alright.

And to make sure none of those women

mess with you on the beach.

- Uh-huh. - I bought you these.

You want me to wear a shower curtain, baby?

Either you wear those or I'm gonna

pin my picture to your chest.

Oh, come on, I'm not going to Florida

to relax on the beach.

You know I'm going to a sanitation workers convention.

You know, we've got business to conduct.

There's gonna be seminars and discussion groups all-day long.

Yeah, and just think I'll be right there.

Ah! I got goosebumps.

Oh, sweetheart, why couldn't you be coming with me

instead of this knucklehead.

Oh, Roc, now. Look, you know I'm not ready to leave the baby.

And besides, you owe Joey a trip

'for working on your election campaign.'

Hey, pop, pop. You sure you can't come?

Well, don't take it personal, son.

But to fly over a 1000 miles to be in a hotel

full of trash-collectors is too close to my idea of hell.

Yeah, and besides, you'll miss out on all the nothing

you do around here all-day.

Well, I guess you got to get going.

Alright, sweetie.

- Bye, sis. - Kiss your daddy goodbye.

- 'Bye-bye, Marcus.' - 'Bye-bye.'

Man, this is gonna be great

Joey Emerson in the supermodel

capital of the world and my only competition is

a bunch of garbagemen.

It's like playing poker with a marked deck.

I don't know where you're gonna be playing all this poker at

you know what I mean, because you're sharing a room with me.

- I don't have a room by myself? - No, you don't.

How am I supposed to entertain supermodels with you snoring?

Roc, wait this messes up my plans. Hey, hey.

I'll give you $20 if you'll sleep in the tub.

I mean, the seminar was called

"New Technologies in Trash Collecting."

I mean, it was amazing.

They're actually working on robot trucks.

You just holler a command into the dashboard

and it does it!

Stop it, Roc. You're blowing my mind.

And the best part is, it doesn't give me any backtalk

like you, Fred.

- Roc. - Yeah. What?

- You're not gonna believe this. - What?

But there are beauticians here.

They're having a convention right here in the hotel!

So what are you so excited about, Ernie? You're married.

I know, and I love my wife.

Man, but did you see what they did to my nails?

Yeah, they cut them claws, I see.

Ah...

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, Roc. Roc.

Roc, this is Tracy. Now, Tracy's from the Tangled Hair Boutique.

Yeah. The word is she does the best cellophane wrap in Seattle.

Oh, Joey, stop embarrassing me.

Roc, this is too easy.

They're jumping in the boat. Why don't you give me that room key?

Joey, look, look, look. I own the harbor, right?

So, you have to dock your ship some place else.

♪ O-o-oh ♪

Whoo!

Ah. Forget it.

That car will not start.

But it doesn't matter anyway.

I heard on the car radio that everything's closed.

- The whole city is shut down. - Uh-oh.

I knew I should've hit the grocery store

before the storm hits.

Great, we can't get to the video store

and we can't watch TV 'cause our antenna's broken.

What're we gonna do all-night?

Young lady, have you ever heard of the fine art of conversation?

Yeah, but the TV's out

how are we supposed to watch any talk-shows?

Well, I know what I'd like to do.

Let's play the Black Americans of Achievement game.

You roll a dice and you never know where they're gonna land.

Ira Aldridge. Ida B. Wells or King Oliver.

I love this game.

Who would be out in this storm?

- Ooh, Carolita. - Hi.

- Hey, Sheila. - Hey, Carolita, what's up?

Ooh, girl, I got a problem.

My cousin, the one I stay with

can't get back from DC in the storm

and I ain't got no house keys.

So, uh, can I stay in your crib tonight?

You mean, you have nowhere else to go.

Obviously, if I did, would I be here?

But you see, there's a problem with you staying here...

...we don't like you.

Daddy, stop it.

Oh, Carolita, it's okay, you can go on and spend the night.

Sheila, can we see you for a minute over here?

Now, Sheila... we told you, you couldn't be friends

with that little girl anymore.

She's the one that got you involved in her shoplifting.

But I swear, I stopped hanging with her

right when that happened.

She must really need some place to stay.

Alright. Let's just try to make the best of this situation.

'Ey, what's wrong with this TV?

Did the bald head guy build it himself?

The TV's out. We're gonna play this game.

Ooh, and afterwards, we'll dance the hokey pokey

and then tell ghost stories.

Daddy!

Where are you goin'?

To get some duct tape and some electrical cord.

If we bundle her up real tight

I think she'll fit under the couch.

Oh, stop.

Yeah, baby. Yeah, I'm tired.

I'm just gonna lay here...

...and watch some TV for a while.

Yeah, look, now...

Now, that Carolita's there...

...just make sure you hide the valuables.

Yeah. I love you too, sweetheart.

Mm-hmm.

What'd you say?

Say that again.

Alright.

You keep talking like that, I'mma dive

right through this phone.

Okay, I love you too, baby.

Bye-bye.

Y'all know what I'm saying though, right? Hey, Roc. Roc.

I want you to meet some friends of mine. You met Tracy, right?

This is Pam and this is Monica.

N-n-nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Yeah, they were all roommates together in beauty school.

What do you think would work best, girls?

Minoxidil, Rogaine, AstroTurf?

I wouldn't do anything to it.

Why, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Come here, Joey, l-l-l-let me talk to you a minute.

- What is going on here? - What's going on here?

I think Pam has a thing for bald men.

I'm not talking about that, why you bringing these women here?

'Cause we're about to have a party, Roc, as a matter of fact

some of your garbagemen colleagues are about to join us.

Did you stop to think that maybe I'm not in the mood for a party?

- I'm sorry girls but you're-- - Great idea having this party.

What's up? What's up? What's up, y'all?

- Come on in. Come on in. - J-Joey. Jo...

- Hey, I'm hungry. - Oop. She's hungry.

Hey, Fred, order room service, will--

- Room service? - A-anybody else need anything?

Alright, let's see what we got on the menu here.

Hey, "lobster Newberg. Rack of lamb. Filet mignon."

- 'Yeah, order this page, man.' - Hello, room service.

Do you serve your lamb with mint jelly or apricot--

Look. Look. Look. The kitchen's closed.?

Go get your own ch-ch... lamb. Just get out of here, everybody.

Hey, hey! Let's get some music in here.

- Yeah! - 'Come on, baby. Come here.'

- Hey! - Joey! Joey!

Joey, look, look, look. Joey. Joey, look, look.

I'm going down to the bar and get a beer, when I come back

all these people better be gone. I wanna get some sleep.

Come on, hey, Roc, it wouldn't hurt you to party a little bit.

Come on, all garbage and no play makes Roc...

...Roc.

Where are you going, cutie?

I'm leaving.

Oh, Lord, I hope Eleanor doesn't dust my head for fingerprints.

Hey, bartender, give me a beer.

Excuse me, could you pass the pretzels?

Yeah, sure.

- Hey, thanks. - Roc?

Oh.. What-wha-wha... Diana!

Oh, whoa!

- Hey, whatcha doing here? - I'm on vacation.

You're still living in Philly? That's what your brother said.

Yeah, I still live there, just came down here

to get away for a while.

The only problem is this hotel is having a convention

and there are all these obnoxious garbagemen everywhere.

So what are you doing here?

I'm a, I'm a obnoxious garbageman.

- Sorry. - Oh, no, that's okay.

That's okay. I haven't seen you since you were a kid!

- H-how you doing? - I'm hanging in there.

- How you doing? - Well, I'm doing good.

I've been at this job a while, you know, and I'm married

and-and I have a baby son.

Oh, that's great, you know I always thought

you were gonna be a boxer. You were so good.

Well, you know, sometimes things don't work out like you like.

I used to love to watch you box at the Y.

You-you used to watch me box?

Yeah, my brother used to take me to all your matches.

I don't know if you knew this, but I had

the biggest crush on you.

Well, no, I-I, you did? I never knew that. No, no.

I thought you were so cool.

Well, um, you know, I-I, well, I was pretty smooth back then.

I had, I had this, double-jab uppercut combination

used to drop 'em every time.

- Well, I remember that. - Yeah.

Now, can you still do it?

Well, wait, wait, you-you want me to try my moves

right here, I mean, right now?

Well, I mean, if you still have some moves.

You know, unless you're too old and tired.

Did you hear that?

Am I? Now you wanna see me, you-you wanna see my moves?

You want me to try my moves? Right here, right now? Okay.

Alright. Boom! Ha ha! What do you think?

- Old and tired. - A-a-ah!

Oh, this is making me hungry. How about dinner?

I know this great restaurant right on the beach.

- Well, that sounds good to me. - Good.

Here let me pay for this. Here you are.

You know what, whatever happened to you brother Joey?

I remember in school he was always goofing off

and getting in trouble.

You haven't heard, huh?

We gave him up for adoption.

I'm sorry your shirt got wet.

Yeah, well, that's what we get for sitting in the front row

at Sea World.

I'll put on a dry shirt and we'll get going, okay?

- Okay. - Alright.

- Hey, Roc, we... - Good God. Hello. Hi.

Man, this is some hotel.

Usually they just leave you a mint on the pillow.

Hello, Joey.

I'm sorry, did I tell you last night I'd be right back.

Joey, it's me, Diana Hubbard from the neighborhood, remember?

Diana? Yeah, I remember. What are you doing here, girl?

O-o-oh.

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Joey, no, Joey. Please, look.

We just met each other at the hotel bar.

And you were putting on that shirt because...

'Cause a whale splashed me.

A whale, huh?

Uh, let me speak at you for a minute, huh, Roc?

Roc, look, I know you're new at making up these stories

so let me give you a little tip, alright.

Keep it real, okay?

Now, see where you said, "A whale"

I would've said a waiter, you know.

Joey, get your mind out of the gutter.

Roc, you missed all the garbagemen sanitation seminars

this morning, and where you been hanging out with Diana?

Look, we're old friends, we're catching up, you know.

It's perfectly innocent.

Come on, Diana. Let's hit that jazz club.

- Good to see you, Joey. - Yeah, you too, Diana.

- Roc? - Hmm?

I'm losing all respect for you.

You're acting just like me.

- That jazz club was great. - I know it sure was.

- You're a good dancer. - Yeah.

Yeah, I told you I still got my moves.

- One more? - Well, why not?

Why not?

I haven't danced this much since my marriage.

You know, Diana, I-I've been meaning to ask you, you know

why didn't your husband come along on this trip with you?

Well, to be honest with you we've been sort of

having problems lately.

I came down here by myself to sort things out.

Uh-huh.

Why? Would you had rather that he had come along with me?

I don't have to answer that question, do I?

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, Roc.

No, no. That-that-that's okay. That's okay.

Well, actually, actually, it-it's not okay.

Well, but, uh, don't-don't worry about it. It's too late now.

- Roc? - Huh?

I don't think I should tell you this

but I'm still so attracted to you.

Okay, okay. Don't-don't worry about it. It'll pass, you know...

It-it'd better pass.

Roc, aren't you attracted to me?

Um...

Uh...

You know, I-I think we should go to our hotel rooms... alone.

Yeah, you're right. That's what we should do.

- Goodnight, Roc. - Goodnight, Diana.

Uh, waitress. Wait-wait-waitress, waitress.

Wa-wa-waitress, give-give me a drink. Give me a drink.

A cold one. Lots of ice. Plenty of ice.

Just pour it all over me.

But if you change your mind, you know where to find me.

I'm bored up in here.

Do you wanna play another game?

Yeah, let's play, find something in this raggedy house to eat.

Is there any more chicken left?

No, and until I can get to the grocery store all we got is...

...ketchup, relish and garbanzo beans... and cheese.

Oh, great. I never imagined my last meal would be condiments.

Well, you got any flour? I can make pizza?

- You know how to make pizza? - She's a really good cook.

Well, when you're on your own as much as I am

you learn to do things for yourself.

Pizza out of flour, relish and garbanzo beans.

Well, aren't you talented?

Man, you sure are easy to impress.

Look, I'm going over to the oven to make fire.

I must be a genius.

We'll let her make the pizza and then we'll kick her outside

and see what she can make out of snow and road salt.

Well, Carolita, that pizza was wonderful.

Yeah, it was good enough to be delivered

by a pimply-faced kid in a Gremlin.

Yeah, I can cook good alright. But what good does it do me?

My relatives still don't want me around.

Carolita, can I talk to you alone a minute?

Sure, but if you kick me off you won't get any dessert.

I was planning on making my famous Davita cheesecake.

Now, I'm gonna get right to the point.

The way I see it, you have two choices.

You can continue on the road you're on

and wind up in juvenile hall

or you can take your talent for cooking

and make something of yourself.

What are you saying, for the rest of my life I should work

in some burger joint?

Oh, Carolita, you're thinking way too small.

Now, you could be a chef in a first-class restaurant.

Then you'd have a job you'd be proud of.

And you'd make a lot of money.

And if you're not sure you wanna be a chef...

...there are other things you could do.

You're a smart, creative kid.

Don't blow it.

So, all these chefs they make lots of money, huh?

Well, let's put it this way...

...you see that pizza as flour, ketchup and garbanzo beans...

...but in New York and LA, they'd call it nouvelle cuisine

and make you pay 20 bucks for it.

Ooh, what a scam.

Ooh, thanks for the advice, Mr. Emerson.

- Hmm. - Now, where's my 20 bucks?

I said New York and LA. This is Baltimore. We don't play that.

Hey. Hey, there you are. Hey.

Eleanor called, but don't worry, I covered for you.

I told her you were out getting splashed by a waiter.

I didn't ask you to lie for me, Joey.

Whatcha got in your hand, man?

- It's Diana room key. - Oh.

And I don't have to cover for you, huh?

Come on, Joey. Don't jump to conclusions.

I haven't slept with her.

But I gotta tell you, man...

...I'm tempted.

I'm really, really tempted.

So what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go take a walk, man.

- Hey, Diana. - Hey, Roc.

I've been thinking about you.

Yeah, I've been thinking about you too.

I mean, not in that way.

Well, sort of that way, I mean.

Well, actually it's between, you know that way and the right way.

You know what I mean? Not that your way isn't the right way.

Well, I've been thinking about you every which way.

Oh, no. Don't-don't-don't say that. No, don't say that.

Look, Roc, I know you're attracted to me.

Yes. Yeah-yeah-yeah, I am.

And your wife would never find out.

No, yeah-yeah-yeah. That's true. That's true.

So then, give me one good reason why we shouldn't do this?

Because I love my wife.

Roc, I know you do and I'm not asking you to run away with me.

I just want to spend one night with you

that we're never going to forget.

I mean, Diana, listen, you know

y-y-you're right again, Diana, you know.

I'm sure if I spent the night with you

it would be a wonderful, wonderful memory.

Right up until the time I get home...

...and look in Eleanor's eyes.

Then it'll become something I'll spend

the rest of my life trying to forget.

I see.

I mean, aren't you...

...aren't you concerned...

...about your feelings when you have to look

your husband in the eyes?

My husband hasn't looked in my eyes in a long time.

Well, then he's out of his damn mind.

You know, Roc, when I married James I thought

I was gonna be madly in love forever.

But like you said about your boxing career

sometimes things just don't work out

the way you want them to.

Listen, Diana, listen. I mean...

Marriage is-isn't easy, you know?

It's-it's-it's something, you know, you-you-you got to

you gotta, you gotta work on, you know.

And you're not solving anything by sleeping with another guy.

You know what I mean, even if he is, you know...

You know, handsome, you know, and witty

and charming and sexy and fine and...

You know... and-and-and a great boxer.

An okay boxer.

Okay.

Okay, Roc, I hear you.

You wanna do me one favor though?

Yeah, yeah, if it doesn't get me divorced, yeah.

Have a drink with me.

I'd like to toast the night we never had.

Oh, that sounds good to me.

Hey, give me a bottle, no, make it a glass of champagne.

Hey, Roc, look, look.

I've been thinking a lot about this, okay

I gotta take a stand, alright.

Now I'm not gonna let you mess up your marriage, alright.

And I don't wanna have to do this but you left me no choice.

Diana, I'll sleep with you.
