[Announcer]
Tired of making up lame excuses?

Don't you wanna cuddle?
Baby needs a hug.

[Yawning] I can't hug you right now.
I'm still sleeping.

[Announcer]
Is postcoital cuddling bringing you down?

See, you don't understand. I got to be
somewhere at : tomorrow morning.

Then I'll leave with you.

No. But, uh,
you can't leave with me...

'cause my car was in an accident
and it only has one seat left.

- Then I'll sit on your lap.
- Uh, listen.

Now, I didn't wanna have to tell you this,
and it's top secret.

I'm on a mission for the C.I.A.
I have to travel alone.

It's a matter of life and death.

But if you die, I don't wanna live.

[Thinking]
Geez, what do I have to do to get rid of her?

[Announcer] Sounds like you need
the Ejector Bed from Rudeco.

Yes, it's simple to operate and can eject
up to , pounds in a single thrust.

Oh, wow. This never happened
to me before.

I guess I must've been
under a lot of stress.

Maybe some fresh air might help.

[Announcer]
Yes, the Ejector Bed.

Your best friend
in a sticky situation.

- [Woman] Honey, I'm home.
- [Gasps]

- It's my wife.
- Oh, no! Where will I hide?

[Announcer]
Don't get caught without one.

The Ejector Bed from Rudeco.

Ejector Desk and Ejector Chair
sold separately.

Yes! All right, guys. Guys!

Benny, now since it's
your last night of freedom...

[Laughs]

The guys thought you should have
your cake and eat it too.

[All Whooping]

- What the...
- Surprise, Benny!

Frenchie has "arrivayed"!

Hey, and it's a good thing,
"mon soup de jours,"

'cause on the way in here, they
had this little skinny girl with
a half a pair of drawers on.

I said, " Woman, don't you know this is
a bachelor party?" Sent her home, man.

- What?
- You did what? Who is this guy?

Allow me to introduce myself.

The name is Leonard,
but all my friends call me "Frenchie."

'Cause I'm hip, I'm slick
and all the women love my eight tracks.

- Gotcha!
- Man, how the hell
did you find me again.!

Oh, well, it wasn't easy.
I had to follow every caterer in town.

There's about of'em.

Finally, I tracked down the guy from
Samurai Sushi, followed him right over here.

- Samurai Sushi?
- That's right.

- So-So wait a minute. Where are they now?
- Well, "mon Frusen Gladje,"

they was about to bring
y'all some raw fish.

I said, " Hey, little Chinaman,
you better get your butt in the kitchen...

"and put some cornmeal
on that and fry it up right.

That's right,
and don't you forget the hot sauce."

- Frenchie!
- Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry,
"mon Lean Cuisine."

In the meantime, I got pork rinds
and pig feet for everybody.

- [All Groaning]
- Come on, man. Eat up, y'all.

Man, come on.
Benny, just forget that clown.

Now you got to think how beautiful
Karen is gonna look tomorrow.

She'd better.
It cost me a fortune.

- Her dress by Dior.
- Mm-hmm.

Her diamond, Cartier.
And her hair, Sassoon.

Hey, man. Well, if you're gonna look good,
you got to spend the money.

My suit from Piggly Wiggly.
My shoes, they from Fayva...

and my hair done
by World of Curls.

Yeah, uh, look,
how about a movie, guys?

Hey, say no more. Say no more.

I got the tape right here, y'all.

Now this here's a real man's film.
Go on, put it on.

- Oh, here you go.

Hey, Frenchie, she's not bad.

The good stuff's on the way now.
Right there.

What the hell is this?
Disco Godfather?

- That's right. Rudy Ray Moore at his best.
- Rudy Ray Moore?

He's the writer, director
and choreographer.

Man, I'm telling you. Can't nobody
do the robot like Rudy Ray Moore, man.

- Man, you're outta your mind.
- Uh, guys.

Uh, I guess it's time for a toast.
[Laughs]

All right, guys.
Now, you guys all know...

on our freshman year at Harvard...

- Benny and I bought a bottle
of Dom Perignon.
- Whoo.!

Now here's the deal. We swore not to open
this bottle until one of us got married.

And you beat me. Congratulations.

So here it is ma...
Hey, what happened to the champagne?

Oh, the champ... Oh, man, I threw
that old stuff out, man.

My friend Benny can't drink
nothing from .

That's the best... Cold Duck.

- What? You poured it out?
- December.

Hey, don't thank me.
It was my "pleaziray."

'Cause I'm hip, slick and all the women
love my typing skills.

- Man. He's gonna get it.
- Aw, listen. Don't worry...
Benny, come on.

Don't worry. At least
you still got your gift.

[All Laughing]

[Hysterical Laughter]

Whoo! Now that was "tres Epilady."

But I got you something that
you can really use. Check it out, Benny.

- That's from me to you.
- Hey. Hey. A Mercedes emblem.

This will go good with my car.

Well, it is off your car.
I hit it on the way in.

- But the chain is my idea.
- What!

You curl king, get out of my house!
Get out of here!

Oh, come on, Jacques Cousteau.
Don't be so Grey Poupon.

Oh, come on! King Cobra,
you're out of here! Come on!

- Get out of here! Get out of here!
- But, Benny.

- Hi! Is Frenchie here?
- Come on in, "mon petit croutons."

- Frenchie, who are these women?
- That's what I was trying to
explain to you, Benny.

The little girl in
the half-pair of drawers...

I told her one wasn't gonna be enough.

I told her go home and get her friends.

[Announcer] Now back to
the comedy stylings of Les and Wes Rawls.

[Audience Whistling, Clapping]

Other kids were afraid of the dark...

we were afraid of loud, ripping noises.
[Laughs]

Yeah. And we didn't drink milk,
we drank half-and-half.

That's half-and-half
because we're twins. We're Siam...

- Remember those fights in the car, huh?
- Yeah.

Hey, Mom, Les's kidneys
are on my half.

Our favorite show
is Twin Peaks.

- I didn't even get it out. Twin Peaks.
- [Booing]

We're twins. Did I mention
we're Siamese...

But the worse thing was when he had
his growth spurt first.

I mean, my feet didn't touch the ground
for two years.

Thank you and good night.
You've been beautiful.

Mine did!

We k*lled, man. We k*lled!
They loved us, man.

No. I k*lled, you died. Look at you.

You know, I'm getting tired
of carrying you.

[Laughs] "Carrying you."
That's funny. That's a new joke.

That's great. We can use that in the act.
We'll open with...

- Les. Les. I mean it.
- What?

I'm tired of your lame jokes.
I'm tired of these crummy clubs.

I'm tired of you passing gas
and blaming me.

I've got a nervous stomach. My half.

- I don't wanna hear it. I'm tired
of these cleaning bills.
- What are you saying?

I'm saying that I'm splitting up the act.

Splitting up the act, man?
I don't understand. We're a team.

Wes, you need me
like Abbott needs Costello, man.

I need you like Michael needs Tito.

He does. Who's gonna
watch the monkey?

Forget it, Les. I made up my mind.

- I'm goin' solo.
- Yeah? Well, let's see
how far you get without me.

- Hi, everybody. I'm John Tesh.
- I'm Leeza Gibbons.

Welcome back to Entertainment Tonight.

Next up, comedian Wes Rawls,
who's joining us via satellite...

from the set of his new movie
with director Steven Spielberg.

- Thanks for joining us, Wes.
- Well, thanks for having me, Leeza and John.

I just want to say working with Stevie
is really an experience.

Now, Wes, in moment here,
we're gonna show our folks
at home a clip from your movie.

But, first, I want to ask you about that
other guy that you used to work with.

- Whatever happened to him?
- Well, that guy was actually my brother.

- And, uh, we don't really
keep in touch anymore.
- [Loud Snoring]

But, I'm sure wherever he is,
his heart is with me.

I know mine's with him.
[Chuckles]

Where are we? Where are we?

Wes, we seem to be getting
some static on the line here.

It's really big of you
that you never held a grudge.

- Was it a painful parting?
- Yeah.

- I guess you could say it really tore me up.
- [Both Chuckling]

I'm supposed to be in bed.
The doctor said I should stay in bed.

- What are we doing here?
- Well, you know, I'm sure
you could crack us up all night.

- But why don't we take this time
to roll that clip from your new movie.
- [Coughs]

[Karate Yell]

[Announcer] He was just
one man against the world
of organized crime.

Fortunately, Wes Rawls
prefers to fight alone.

Oh, that hurt.

And, fortunately, Wes Rawls
prefers to k*ll alone.

Wes Rawls is Lone Wolf.

- Wessie?
- Yes, pumpkin?

Whatever happened
to your brother?

I mean, you should really
try to talk to him.

Yeah. Brothers really
shouldn't fight.

Oh, I guess you guys are right.
I mean, it was kind of silly.

I tell you what I'm gonna do.

First thing in the morning,
I'll give him a call. Promise.

But I tell you what.
For right now, let's get back to business.

- Shall we?
- [Women Giggling]

Yeah.
[Giggles]

Just let me correct this
for a second...

Les, what are you doing? I thought
I told you to fill the french fry bin.

- I was getting ready...
- Look at this. The coffee's cold.

- You didn't even change the mop water.
- I would've...

The whole dining area smells like
sour milk and pickle juice.

- I got my shoes off.
- What are you operating on,
half a brain? Get it together.

- [Phone Ringing]
- I'm an idiot, sir. I'm stupid. I'm sorry.

Burgers are Wild. This is Les speaking. How
may I help you? I'm wild to take your order.

- Les.
- Yes?

- Les, it's me.
- Wes, is that you?

- Yeah, man.
- Why are you calling me?

Well, I've been thinking.
You know, we shouldn't be fighting.

I mean, we're brothers.
We should stick together, you know?

- That's the way I feel, Wes.
- Hey.

- Yeah?
- I think I even found a way
we can work together again.

- [Clamoring]
- Get the door.

All right, all right.
Just calm down. Calm down.

He'll sign everybody's autograph.
Just give him a chance.

- [Cameras Clicking]
- Just be patient.

I guess I can say I'm your right-hand man
on the left side, huh, Wes?

Yeah, kid. But, look, uh,
in public, it's Mr. Rawls, okay?

Yes, sir, Mr. Rawls.
Don't touch him.

- [Object Thuds On Sidewalk]
- Get the bags, will ya? Get the luggage.

- I'm sorry.
- I should've left you
flipping burgers. Come on!

- I'm sorry, sir.
- I go in first, not the bags.

- Come on.
- Yes, sir.

Don't you just love
our new house, honey?

Oh, it's so much bigger than
that cramped apartment in the city.

Come on, son.
Let's get this last box.

What the heck is in this thing?

[Man]
Hey! What the hell's going on?

- [Grunts]
- Son, come here.

What the hell is going on here?

I've been kidnapped by the Brady Bunch.

- Uh, who are you?
- He's a bum.

I ain't no bum.
I'm an independent contractor...

who solicits donations and investments
in a fresh air environment.

That's what I said. He's a bum.

The movers must've
picked up his box by mistake.

Hey, mister, this ain't no box.

This is my house, and I live here.
[Laughs]

You have transported it
against its will.

You'll be hearing from my legal firm of
Ernest and Julio Gallo.

[Sniffs]
I smell a lawsuit.

I smell something worse than that.

Oh, that's my new line of toilet water.

You know, like Cher has "Uninhibited"?

Well, mine is called "Unflushed."

Well, whatever it is,
you're gonna have to leave.

- Honey, it is our fault
that he's here, after all.
- That's right.

- He is a human being.
- That's right.

- So?
- True.

So let's show him a little charity, huh?

Yeah, show a little charity.

Okay. He can stay tonight, but he goes
back to the city in the morning.

Good man. Good man.
Hey. I think your wife got a crush on me.

[Laughs]

Y'all just go ahead and do what y'all
normally do. Pretend I'm not even here.

Just go on and do what
you would normally do.

Actually, we were about to have dinner.
Would you like to break bread with us?

I don't mind if I do. I just broke wind.
[Laughs]

Oh, y'all sit down and eat, huh?
Is that the thing?

Oh, this is some new stuff here. Look,
I want y'all to know I ain't no freeloader.

I ain't just gonna eat up your food.
I wanna contribute something to this meal.

Now, I've been using
this piece of bologna...

to plug up
the hole in my shoe.

But since this is
a special occasion,
you go ahead and fry that up.

How thoughtful.

Oh, I got some doughnuts too.

[Together]
Uh, we're not hungry.

Let's unpack some more.

I've got some homework.
Dad, can you help me with my math?

I'm very busy, son.
Maybe a little later, okay?

Hey, let me handle that.

I did all right in the math class.

Hey, look here, junior.
Say you got three boogers over here.

And you got... four and a half boogers
over here.

Now, I wipe three
of'em off on this plate.

- What do you got?
- Five?

No. A bad cold.
[Laughs]

- A bad cold.
- What do you know? It's time to go to bed.

- Here we go, Billy. Good night.
- 'Night, Billy.

Don't let the boogeyman get you.

If you need anything,
the bathroom is right down the hall.

Oh, no. That's okay.
I'm using my own facilities.

Oh, that's it.
He's going back to the city!

- You just fit it in like that.
- That's it. You're going back.

How am I gonna get back to the city?
Hold that for me.

No. Just take $ .
Take a cab or something.

Twenty dollars? What about my house?
You destroyed my property.

Here's another . Buy a new house.

What about my emotional distress
and loss of income?

That's a hundred dollars.
Would you please just leave?

Hey, listen. Do me a favor.

Give that to the kid for me.

- I'll leave it right there.
- Oh, yeah.
