03x10 - Get a Job

[bunniefuu]

Ah, blackjack! I win!

Seven times in a row? I'm out.

Hey, I guess some people got it,

And some people don't.

But that ain't fair, pam.

You got an advantage.

You wearing all them lucky horseshoes.

Now, isn't that a coincidence?

You're little, like a jockey.

Hey, hey, hey, y'all.

Sorry I'm late.

Hi, tommy.

Hey, baby. Just got off work.

Tommy, "off work"?

Yeah.

Go ahead with all that job stuff.

I'm sure you got better excuses

Swimming around up there in your superdome.

Yeah, whatever. Just deal me in.

I'll deal you in,

With your no-job-having a*s.

You done got him started.

Why you always got him into that job stuff?

That's o.k., Baby. He's just jealous.

Jealous of what?

[Knock on door]

Please. I know where the hell I work.

Somebody's at the door, martin.

Just get the door.

Tommy should. He ain't done nothing all day.

Yeah?

Say, brother, I got your pizza here.

You ain't got my pizza.

I didn't order no pizza.

Hey, hold up now. It's still hot.

I'm letting it go at a discount.

I don't do that for everybody.

First of all, who are you?

And second of all,

Where did you get the pizza?

You know something?

You ask a lot of questions.

I'm just trying to help you out.

You trying to help me out?

O.k., Hold it. Hold it.

I know. I know,

But I'm always willing to help a brother out.

Besides, I'm a little hungry.

How much for the pizza, bro?

For you? $.

...

...

Whoa, whoa. That's a hell of a knot you got there, tommy.

Where did you get it?

Martin, you know how I do.

Ha ha ha!

Here you go, bro.

Now, you keep the change.

You cool, but we go back like spinal cords and car seats.

But your man got a bad attitude, chief.

Here. Enjoy your dinner.

♪ Lawrence ♪♪

We're going in three minutes,

Yeah.

Hello, malcolm's chop shop.

No, no, this ain't no clarence.

Yeah. Does tommy strawn work there?

You don't have one, huh?

Oh, o.k. Well, thank you.

Whazzup, baby?

What're you doing?

I'm trying to find out where tommy works.

Why are you all up in tommy's business?

We should know what all our friends are into.

I'm watching your back-- our back--

So we don't get caught into nothing out there.

Don't jump to conclusions unless you have some facts.

Facts? Oh, I got the facts.

All the money tommy had the other day.

Where's he getting that?

The expensive clothes he wears.

Where's he getting all this cream?

Where's he getting the dollar, dollar bill, up here?

Why don't you just ask his mother?

I did. She don't know.

She asked me.

My best friend has finally found somebody special.

Now you're saying he's a crook?

That's your boy. That's wrong.

I just call it how I see it.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,

It's a damn duck.

When the truth comes, falsehood vanishes.

And falsehood is forever vanishing things, baby.

What?

I don't know. I'm on a roll. Just flow with it.

Back up.

Come forward.

What are you doing now?

I'm just studying body language,

Trying to get to the bottom of this tommy stuff.

Don't start asking tommy a bunch of crazy questions tonight.

Tommy's going to tell me

Everything I want to know

Without opening his mouth.

The body never lies.

Martin, that is crazy.

Did you just roll your eyes?

Let me go to the eye roll chapter.

According to the eye roll chapter,

You're trying to disregard me, huh?

Whatever.

Is that a little finger tippity-tap-tap-tap?

Let me go there. Let's see.

According to the finger chapter,

I'm getting on your damn nerves, huh?

There might be something to this book.

Whatever. You ain't got to believe me,

But look, just watch tommy.

When he folds his arms,

That means he's on the defensive.

He doesn't want to be messed with.

When he sticks his finger in his ear, "err-uh"...

He's straight up lying.

Hey, y'all ready yet?

He's setting up his lie already.

W-w-what's happening, tommy?

W-w-what's going down, donkey kong?

Not much, short doggy dogg.

What? I said it.

Arf arf!

You want a dog, do you?

O.k., O.k.

Arf! I'll rip it out.

Martin.

Down, down, boy. Down.

Sorry I'm late, man.

Got held up at work.

Held up? At work?

Yes.

Again?

Are we going to play pool or not?

What's the rush?

We can play pool any time.

We don't sit and talk anymore.

I mean, can we get a rap?

Can we yikkety yakkety-yakkety for a minute?

Can we talk while we play pool?

Nah, I want your undivided attention.

Sit on down here.

Talk to me.

Oh!

So what you been doing all day, tommy?

Uh, you know, man...

Err-uh...

Working, you know?

Doing what I do.

"Err-uh."

"Err-uh." He's straight up lying.

Uh-huh. So, tommy,

You mean to tell me

You got a regular job, like the rest of us?

Hell, yes, martin. All right?

I have a job to , like all of you.

Oh, sh**t.

See how he's folding the arms?

Keep it on the down down.

Uh, tommy, on this normal job,

Tell us what you do.

Quick!

Come on, tommy. Spit it out.

I don't have to prove to you

I have a damn job.

Scratching of the head.

That's a new one.

Let's check the book. Let's check the book.

Hold on till we find it.

O.k.

According to the scratching of the head chapter,

Look. What does that say?

"Bald-headed lie." "Bald-headed lie."

Bald-headed lie.

What is all this sneaky little whispering about?

That's rude. That's very, very rude.

I'll tell you what it's about, pam.

I'm sick and tired of your man tommy lying

About having a job.

Hold on, baby. Hold on. I'll get it.

I'm getting sick and tired

Of you telling me I don't.

Tell him.

Wait a minute.

Hold it, gina. Hold it.

I got you.

That's my boy. That's my boy.

I grew up with him.

First of all, tommy,

All I'm saying to you

Is what do you do, man?

Who--who--who you talking to?

Mm-hmm.

You.

Me?

You.

You talking to me?

No, you can't be talking to me,

Because I'm a grown-a*s man.

Well, I'm a grown man, too, tommy.

I'm a grown man, too.

Whazzup?

Baby, hold me on the balance now.

I got you, baby.

Martin, please, man. Let's go, pam.

You know you messed up.

No, you messed up.

No, you done messed up!

We're just trying to find out the truth.

The truth is, you're being influenced

By inch-high private eye.

Arf arf arf!

I'm sorry about the way me and martin acted, o.k.?

Look, sorry doesn't get it.

You've got a lot of nerve.

Martin is so obsessed with finding out what tommy does,

I got caught up in it.

I expected martin to do something trifling,

But you should know better than that.

I do. You know I do.

As long as you know what tommy does,

That's all that matters.

As long as you know.

You do know, don't you?

I'm not going there with you, gina.

I'm just concerned for you, that's all.

If there was anything wrong,

Something shady going on,

You'd tell me, right?

Gina, we're girls, remember?

I would always come to you.

Tommy has nothing to hide.

[Knock on door]

And neither do i. All right?

All right, girl.

Oh, hey. How y'all doing?

Who's she?

She's just a friend.

Is she involved in this?

Oh, no. No.

Tommy's still down with us, right?

No question. No question.

You holding the cash?

Yeah, how about you guys take it to the kitchen?

I'll be in to talk details.

How--how you doing?

So, girl, what was I saying?

I don't know.

I told you something was up with tommy.

I didn't believe it until I saw those gangsters here.

Keep it down. Keep it down.

[Door slams]

No! You don't slam the door.

Oh, gina!

Shh!

They could've been in the back.

You're making me nervous, martin.

This is my first cat burglary.

Shh!

Shh!

Just--just cover me.

Cover you with what?

Detective stuff, like barnaby jones and them do.

O.k.?

Oh, o.k.

I'll go look over there.

Fine. All right?

Aah!

What are you doing?

I can't see!

Baby, we cat burglars.

Use your cat eye.

Use your cat eye!

Martin, you're making me so nervous,

I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for.

O.k., O.k., Calm down.

Just look around slowly and nicely.

Damn!

I got something, martin.

What is it?

Pam bought that sweater I wanted.

I can't believe her!

That girl! Wait till I see her!

I ain't hearing nothing about no damn sweater now.

Just, come on, gina.

I'm serious, martin.

It's hard to find a sweater in this color.

I'm serious, too, gina.

We're looking for clues.

That's so nasty.

Search around.

Look, I'm going to ask pam's sisters what's happening.

Three the hard way. Y'all don't know nothing, do you?

[Ring]

[Beep]

Hey, tommy, pam, this is big tony.

Be at south main street at : tonight.

Don't forget what I said.

There's a price on your head,

And that's real.

[Cries]

No, no, no.

Come on, now.

Don't do it, girl, it's gonna be all right.

They got a price on their head.

A price on tommy's head is a big price, o.k.?

Let's get out of here.

You heard him--it's real. Let's go.

Oh, man!

Martin, tommy should've been here hours ago.

We on a stakeout. You got to be patient.

Where's my sloppy joe? I'm hungry.

How can you eat at a time like this?

Tommy's in trouble, and something could happen to pam.

If they get in trouble,

Tommy could hop on pam's back

And ride off into the sunset.

Hand me the hot sauce.

[Knock on window]

Say, brother, I got some roses for your fine lady.

Don't I know you from somewhere?

You ask a lot of questions.

You want these roses or not?

Do I look like I want some damn flowers?

No. It look like y'all on a stakeout.

Hey! These two on a stakeout!

Right in our neighborhood!

You don't be doin' that in nobody's neighborhood.

Don't do that in nobody's neighborhood.

How much are the flowers?

Give me $..

$.?

$..

$.?

Yes.

You trying to help me out?

Here you go, darling.

Thank you. Thank you, honey.

Can I have the yellow ones?

Sure you can, puddin'.

You know, the trick to healthy flowers is

You gotta put aspirin in the water.

Are you serious?

My mama always told me sugar.

Hey, hey, hey!

Flower man, get your tulip-selling a*s away from here.

Come on, man.

You ain't got to get no attitude with nobody.

Thanks for the flowers, baby.

Gina, you can't be messing around.

No mistakes allowed.

All right, martin!

You never give me flowers anymore.

Gina, something ain't right, baby.

We been out here, what, two hours?

I ain't seen tommy.

No sign of tommy.

I know he won't show up.

You know he won't show up? Why?

Because we at the wrong address.

The--

What?

The wrong address, gina?

We supposed to be at south main.

This is south main.

Let me see that.

"."

Gina, why don't you take off the sunglasses,

Then we could see the address.

Don't be coming down on me.

Tommy's your friend. I'm helping you out.

Say, brother.

Didn't I tell you to leave?

No. That was my brother bobby.

You don't know me.

I'm from texas, kid.

I'm trying to get my hustle on.

You wanna buy some tires?

No, hustle man, I don't want no tires.

Why would I want tires?

I'm trying to watch your back out here, chief.

Watch my back and watch my dust from over there, chief.

Watch my dust.

Watch my dust.

[Engine revs]

I say watch my dust.

I say watch my dust.

[Engine revs]

Hey, baby.

I'm locking.

Why we not moving?

Aw, baby.

What?

We been robbed.

"Strippendales"?

This is a strip joint, gina.

This ain't the right place.

Let's get out of here.

It's the hit men!

Hide me, baby!

Tommy's cool, but we might have to get rid of pam.

She talks too much.

They going to get rid of pam.

No, baby. Don't you pass out.

Listen to me.

All stray cats got nine lives.

Pam's cool.

Let's sit over here.

Let's see what's happening.

Y'all ladies having a good time?

All right. You like what you see?

Get your checkbooks out.

Uh-uh. It ain't just about no ladies.

See, that's discrimination.

I'll bring the next bachelor to the stage.

I want y'all to give it up for chocolate thunder.

Mmm! If that's chocolate thunder,

I'm greased lightning.

What you think you doing, huh?

Huh?

Huh?

You ain't doing nothing.

Come on.

Loose the clothes like you lost that hair, cue ball.

All right. Don't put it in my face,

Unless it ready to go to the place.

Gina, I can't take this no more.

The closet's open and the bones done fell out.

We going in there.

We handling this!

Tommy, don't do this!

Ladies, move!

Giving away your hard earned money.

You should be home with your husbands, your men!

Tommy, the party's over.

Get your happy a*s down offstage.

What the hell are you doing?

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Especially you,

Bride of stankenstein.

Look at you, lady, you're drunk.

It's disgusting. You are drunk.

I ain't drunk.

I'm on medication.

Get off there.

What are you doing, man?

Ladies, I'm sorry. Have a good evening.

Everybody, just enjoy yourselves.

The next bachelor will be coming to the stage.

Are you out of your mind?

What are you doing?

I can't believe it, tommy.

How long have you been doing this,

Shaking your a*s for cash, huh?

Does your mom know, tommy?

Gina, tommy is not dancing for money.

This is a charity fashion show

For the feed the young'uns foundation.

Read.

Why you got me on stakeout, following tommy and stuff?

What? Me? What about you?

You should've seen this coming with your cat eye.

Gina.

Don't start with me.

O.k., O.k. We in this together.

Tommy...

Brother...

I thought we were boys, man.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want you clowning me.

I didn't tell anybody.

I didn't tell anybody at my job.

Oh, damn.

That's exactly what I'm talking about--

Lying, man,

About having a damn job, tommy.

Baby, we went through all this,

And I still don't know what he does.

It isn't anything ill*gal, is it, tommy?

No, gina, no, no!

I have a simple -to- just like the next man.

I'm sorry martin and gina stressed you out.

That's all right, baby.

It's all over now.

I mean, your job shouldn't concern them.

As long as we know what you do,

That's all that matters.

Tommy, what do you do?

Come on, baby, you know what I do.

I was thinking--

[Beeping]

Oh, baby.

That's my job. I gotta go.

I'll call you later.

O.k. Miss me.

Heck, no!

I'm getting to the bottom of this.

You not running out,

And me not knowing what's going on here.

Malcolm's chop shop?

Is tommy strawn working there?

Damn.

Aah!

Yeeeeh!

That's called getting it out

Before you tape.

Aah!

Arf!

Arf! Arf!

Arf!

Ooh!
