[Man] And now, once again,
it's time for Ike Turner & Hooch...
starring, Ike Turner.
[Sniffing]
- [Barking]
- I done told you to go on the paper!
- Tina went on the paper.
I'll be damned if you don't.
- [Barking]
What? You tryin' to help Ike?
What? You tryin' to help Ike?
You the one that need the help.
Don't yell at me, bitch.
I'm Ike Turner.
I'll put my foot right up in your...
[Man]
And now, for this special report.
- [Clamoring]
- This is Judy Baskin for Fox News...
coming to you live
from the Rodeo Galleria.
A Los Angeles jury has handed down
its verdict in the Reginald Denny case.
The L.A. Four has been found
innocent of all charges.
The verdict is not sitting well
here in Beverly Hills.
As you can see, white people
are looting the stores.
- Excuse me, ma'am.
- What? I'm very busy looting.
- Are you doing this in response to the verdict?
- You're damn right I am.
I'm frustrated. I'm angry.
I'm disgusted.
That's why I took this delicious Brie,
and this dry, yet delightful French burgundy.
Well, why not take a television set,
a stereo, a CD player perhaps?
Oh, I have all that stuff already.
Besides, it's all crap.
Now, look, if you're not looting, and you
want to purchase some fine merchandise...
go see my nephew Herb
on Beverly Boulevard.
- You go down there, you turn right...
- Enough said.
Enough said!
As you can imagine,
it's-it's absolutely frantic here.
I'm getting a little
concerned for my safety.
Mall security is
nowhere to be seen!
You wouldn't believe
the things I've seen here today.
Gucci bags overflowing
with sushi, pâté...
and those crackers with
little sesame seeds on them.
Oh, my God. Look at this.
L-I don't believe it!
A group of women have pulled the security
guard away from the Café Au Lait Café.!
Can you zoom in on that, Joe?
They're b*ating him with large
Sniggler Farms special edition sausages.
O- Or is it
a smokehouse sampler?
It's difficult to tell
from my vantage point.!
Oh.! Oh.! Th-These thugs
should be stopped.!
Oh, here comes... Here comes
the manager of the mall right now...
Former Mayor, Tom Bradley.
Mr. Bradley, can you tell us what's going on
here and what you plan to do about this?
As manager of the great Rodeo Galleria,
lfind this behavior totally justified.
I, too, was outraged by the verdict.
Are you saying you don't blame
these people for what they're doing?
No, Judy.
You're putting words in my mouth.
What I mean is, I don't blame these people
for what they're doing.
I'd do the same thing myself,
if I were in their tax bracket.
Hold on. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
We've just received word that they've
broken into... the Sporting Good Warehouse.
Sporting Good Warehouse?
Excuse me, but I need a new nine-iron.
[Scoffs] Well, you can see,
it's a mess down here.
Oh, sir! Sir, please,
can I talk to you for a moment?
- Of course.
- Can I talk to you? I notice you're not looting.
Is this because you realize
how irrational it is to-to burn and loot?
Uh, no. Actually, my butler and maid
are looting for me.
No, no, Conchita.
The silk, not the rayon.
All right. Muy bien, yes.
- It's so hard to find a good looter these days.
- Hold on here.
I can't believe it.
What's going on down here?
A mob is attempting to
turn over the courtesy cart!
[Mob Chanting] No peace! No peace!
No peace! No peace!
[Cheering]
I guess that
pretty much sums it up.
Reporting live from the Rodeo Galleria,
I'm Judy Baskin.
- Excuse me, but where can I get this gift wrapped?
- [Mouthing Words]
- Cut! I don't know, ma'am.
- The gift wrap. The gift wrap!
Cut! Cut!
[Man] We now return you to
our regularly scheduled program.
See? I was gonna make a star
out of you, but you keep messin' up.
Showin'me your mood.
That's all right, 'cause I'm in here.
- [Growling]
- You can't run away from me.

I know what will cheer you up, Ralph.
Let's go to that new hip-hop club tonight.
I hear Snoop Doggy Dog is

You're lookin' very fly today, Alice.
Hey, Ralph. What's up?
Well, it's Alice. She wants to
go hip-hop dancing tonight.
Yeah. I saw her down
at the Palladium last week...
- dancing... with a black guy.
- What?
A black guy? I knew it!
Norton, I knew it!
Alice has got jungle fever.
You know what they say, Ralph.
Once you go black... [Chortles]
Hamana, hamana, hamana, hamana!
Norton, you gotta help me!
I need your help.
You got to teach me some

Ohh, aah, ohh, aah, ohh!
You are now officially

Okay, Ralph. The next time I see you,
I'm gonna bust a cap in your ass!
Get outta here!
What were you two doing, Ralph?
You're covered in sweat!
What was I doin'?
I'll tell you what I was doin'.
I was movin'
pretty good there, Alice.
- Why, I was movin' like Heavy D!
- More like Heavy Double D.
One of these days, Alice.
One of these days!
Whoomp! There it is!
Whoomp! There it is!
Ralph, just tell me the truth!
All right, Alice. Norton told me
you were dancin' with other guys.
So, I was tryin' to learn to dance,
because I was afraid of losin' you.
Ralph, he's one of
Madonna's dancers!
Why the last woman
he dated was RuPaul!
I'm sorry, Alice.
I just got jealous. That's all.
Oh, Ralph. Of all the homeboys
in the hood, you're still the man!
Baby, you're the dopest!
Thank you very much.
