We have a very full agenda today.
Let's get started.

- Justice Thomas, take your seat, please.
- Uh, sure.

Just call me Clarence. Just makin' sure
everybody had a hot cup of coffee.

Just wanna make sure
everyone's happy.

You know me. Nothin' wrong
with kissin' a little butt.

Thank you, Justice.

Okay. Our first case is
the State of Washington versus...

Kareem Johnson...
discrimination.

- Nay.
- Nay.

Double nay.

Don't you even want
to discuss the case, Justice Thomas?

Oh, come on.
The guy's a whiner.

You let one black guy
complain about discrimination...

and the next thing you know
you have the... [Scoffing]

State of Washington v. Kool & The g*ng.
[Laughing]

Let 'em get a job the old-fashioned way.
Let 'em earn it.

Uh, you want
another bran muffin?

- I could use some more coffee, Clarence.
- Sure thing.

Okay. Let's move on to the case of
Springfield Police Department versus...

Hector Rodriguez Gonzales.

- [Clearing Throat]
- Justice Thomas.

Uh, me?
Uh, well, uh...

how are the rest of you guys
gonna vote?

- I'm voting for the police department.
- Oh, yeah. Right, right.

Yeah, the police department. I mean, come on.
They fired four warning sh*ts.

Unfortunately, three of them hit the guy.

But, hey, if you're gonna jaywalk
in front of Winchell's, don't come cryin' to us.

I say, uh,
whatever the rest of you guys say.

Justice Thomas, I realize
this is your first day...

but you've got to relax.

Take it easy. You're going to be here
for the rest of your life.

Uh, wait a minute. Um, I have this job
for the rest of my life?

You're just like Daryl Gates.
They can't get rid of you.

So-So-So...

So, let me get this straight.

No matter what I do, no matter
who I piss off, I'm here to stay?

- More or less, yes.
- Oh, man!

- Justice Thomas!
- I'd love a refill on my coffee.

Yo, man, you better
get out of my face.

This ain't no damn Denny's.
Get it yourself.

Excuse me, baby.

Now let's get back to this case
involving my main man, Rodriguez.

Now this is clearly a case
of"po-lice" brutality.

Five minutes ago,
you were against him.

Yeah, well, five minutes ago, I was a black judge
appointed by Bobo, the white president.

- Well, what are you now?
- I'm your darkest nightmare...

a black judge
with a powerful hung jury.

- Clarence!
- [Imitating Sidney Poitier]
You call me Mister Thomas.

This is a complete outrage!

The unmitigated gall!

You have betrayed everyone
who worked to put you on this court.

Look here, man,
I don't know what you said...

but I am awfully sorry... I guess
you thought you knew Clarence Thomas.

- Who was that hombre?

And where the hell
did he come from?

Gracias, Rocketeer.
Gracias.

[Announcer, Spanish Accent] He is the law

He is El Grande y Spectacular

Coming this summer
to theaters everywhere.

And look for your
El Muchacho Rocketeer glasses and mugs...

at your participating
Taco Bell and Del Taco.

- [Bullhorn Blares]
- All right, people. Freeze!

Now, this is Al Macafee,
your metal shop teacher.

Now, I got a dirty job to do,
so listen up, kids.

The local school board has ordered me
to distribute condoms to you students.

Personally, I don't get it.
You can't say a prayer in front of you kids...

but it's okay for me to teach you
how to Saran Wrap your jolly parts.

Here, take 'em. Take as many as you like.
See what I care.

But let me tell you somethin', missy.
You are drag racin' with a loaded g*n.

I'm gonna call your parents
and tell 'em what you're up to.

- Mr. Macafee, I don't even want these.
- Yeah, I'm not fooled.

I was young once too.
I know what it's like to be a...

steaming cauldron of lust...

wantin' it...

burnin' for it.

Lying in bed at night...
those cold sheets rubbin' against your...

soft, hot, prepubescent flesh.

- You're sick!
- You can't fool the Mac Man, baby!

I know you're just a one-woman welcome wagon
for the incoming freshmen.

What's this?
Why don't you take a hike, you little trollop.

Now, how many times have I told you about
fraternizing between classes, Hardison?

- What the hell is this?
- Geez, Mr. Macafee. Those are
crib notes for my math class.

Yeah? I'll be the judge of this.

"The input of the square root
into 'Y "'...

"The angle of the hypotenuse
is equal to"...

Why, this is smut, mister.

Mr. Macafee, now I'll never
figure out that problem.

This is the kind of problem you should be trying
to figure out on your wedding night.

- Four eyes.
- You've ruined everything.

Well, maybe I'd better give you
Mr. Macafee's speech on "permiscuity."

- [Whimpering, Crying]
- When you think with your crotch,
you're gonna end up crotchety.

Just remember that one of those nights when
you got a party in your pants.

Get outta here.

[No Audible Dialogue]

Now, this is what
I like to see...

a couple of young, spirited bucks getting ready
to play one of your boyish pranks.

- "Young Buck's" my middle name, Mr. Macafee.
- I know what you're doin'.

Heck, I used to love to do a little bit of that
myself when I was a lad.

You're gonna fill 'em up with water, take 'em
on the roof, throw 'em off, huh, boys?

Well, we was goin' to the roof.

There you go.
Take as many as you like.

Go ahead, boys.
Have a good time.

- Wow. You're kind of firm.
You been workin' out, son?
- [Both] Thank you, Mr. Macafee.

Bye-bye now.

- Oh, stop right there, princess.
- Back off, Macafee.

You know, the combination of Al "Mac-a-licious"
Macafee and fine American latex...

can be quite intoxicating.

What do you say we take a couple of
these babies out and see what they can do.

Kind of push the envelope.
I got a bottle of baby oil in my locker.

[Snorting]

I wouldn't be in a room with you
and one of those things...

if I could watch you
pull it over your big head and suffocate.

It's this, huh, baby?
The old bum hip.

Well, let me tell you something. When a man
loses the use of one of his appendages...

all the others
work that much harder.

You know, they used to
call me Lizard Tongue.

[Snaps]
You didn't know that, did you?

Oh, she wants me.

Excuse me, young lady.
What seems to be the problem?

Don't you want
any prophylactics, honey?

Gee, Mr. Macafee,
I don't really have any use for them.

Yeah, I understand.

I guess you just aren't having much luck
with the boys, huh, honey?

I tell you what. There's your problem,
little lady. You're out of shape.

A few hundred sit-ups in the morning
will burn that beer belly right off.

You know, I think it's time you heard
Mr. Macafee's speech on courtship.

Boys don't make passes
at girls with fat asses.

- Now take a lesson!
- [Crying]

Hey, Macafee, man. You know, I really dig
what you're doin' with this condom thing.

Well, thanks, son.
You got quite a hell of a grip there.

Yeah, man. A lot of teachers... they make us
feel weird about this kind of stuff.

But, see, you cool, man.
You down with the brothers.

Thanks a lot, my boy.

Yeah. I think when the kids
need somebody to talk to...

they know they can always
turn to me, Al Macafee.

"Thirty-four" for how old

"Forty-three" for how old

And "six," that's how many years

But I ain't one to gossip,

Go away.

My bounty is as boundless
as the sea...

my love as deep,
the more I give to thee.

Well, I can't
see your bounty from here...

but if it's anything like
that cleavage, I'm in love.

Juliet, I know not this man...

- nor do I understand of what he speaks.
