要这样，是不是？ 好，我去找经理 - It's like that, right? - I want the manager.
Fine, I'll get my manager.
-你被开除了！ -你太累了！ - You're fired. - You're tired.
她是白人 - She's white. - Mm-hmm.
我爱她，她很棒 I love her. She's great.
我们的婚姻不错，有个好女儿 We have a great marriage, a great daughter.
-她是做什么的？ -她卖布鲁明哥服装 What does she do?
She's a buyer for Bloomingdale's.
-那我们在做什么？ -我真的不知道 So what are we doing?
I honestly don't know.
我想你不会离开她的 I guess I don't expect you to leave her.
嗯，我不会 Well, I'm not.
那，我们怎么办？ 我想我们不是闹着玩的 So then what are we doing?
I don't think we're just fooling around.
听说黑人不喜欢 爬在女人身上，不是真的吧？ All right, is it true black men don't like to go down on women?
嘿，你听到了吗？ Come on, you heard that, right?
-别告诉我你没听见 -不是真的 - No, no. - Don't tell me you didn't hear that.
Untruth, untruth. That's like white boys...
就像说白人的老二很小一样 have little Mini-Frosted Wheaties dicks.
-真的吗？ -我不知道，你告诉我 - Why? Is that true? - I don't know. You tell me.
-我不知道 -不是真的 - I don't know. - It's not true.
当然不是，我想是个谜 Of course not. It's a myth. I think.

我们不必讨论此事！ We don't have shit to discuss. Discuss that!
听着！ 我的生意怎么办？ What am I gonna do about the business?
-去你妈的生意！ -我要在家办公 Oh, fuck your fucking business.

你最好另找房子，混蛋！ You better get a new house then, asshole.
把这个给我，松手！ 瞧，宝贝儿！ Give me this. Get off of it.
Look, baby,
富力普，我们之间没有 任何关系了 - Baby. - Flipper Purify,
there will be no penis between us.
混蛋！ Asshole.
我们可以商量 我知道我们可以商量 We can talk this out.
I know we can talk this out.
我们祈祷吧 Let us pray. Heavenly Father, make us truly thankful...
上天啊，感谢你给我们 这丰盛的一切
for this of Thy bounty which we are about to receive...
使我们能够健康地成长 以你的儿子耶稣的名字 for the nourishment of our bodies.
- In the name of Thy son, Jesus. Amen. - Amen.
-阿门 -阿门
就像周那被赶出鲸鱼肚子一样 So...
you have been cast out of your home...
你被赶出了家门 like Jonah was cast out of the belly of the whale.
我希望不是因为通奸？ I pray adultery was not the cause?

你不必回答 我知道你和珠会解决的 You don't have to answer. I know you and Drew will work this out.
是馋另一个女人的桃子了吗？ Was it the temptation of the sweet nectar...
of another woman's fruit? The devil is always at work.
魔鬼总在

现在，让我们吃顿饭吧 Please, let's eat this meal in peace.
她什么也不是，白人垃圾… - Mmm! - She ain't nothin' but a low-class...
white trash.
她可能连高中都没毕业 She probably didn't even finish high school.
-你知道这是真的 -这就是他离开我的原因 - You know that's the truth. - That's what he left me for.
我还以为富力普是个好丈夫 I always thought Flipper was the ideal husband.
我告诉你，你永远也拿不准 他们都是狗！ You can never tell. They're all dogs!
I promise you, they're all dogs!
-你说得对 -我们得开始跟白人约会 - Every last one. - That's right.
- We gonna have to start datin' white men. - Stop it, Nilda.
-是该这样 -我不跟白人约会 - It's true. - I'm not datin' no white man.
-黑人没有好的 -有的 - It ain't no good black men out there. - Yes, there are.
他们大部分吸毒 进监狱，同性恋 Most of them are drug addicts, in jail, homos...
较好的家伙知道自己不错 The good ones know they the shit so they got ten women at a time,
他们会找十个女人 到处都有他们的孩子 - leaving babies all over. - My marriage is wrecked.
我的婚姻完蛋了
他去搞白婊子 有些黑男人不错 It's fucked up; the man is gone. He's fucking some white bitch...
and I still believe there's good black men out there.
在哪里？ 我们有别的出路吗？ Where? What are the options?
去当修女，同性恋 或不管他是谁，喜欢就… - Be a nun, be gay... - You know what the options are?
Or see somebody who likes you no matter what... Chinese, black, white, whatever.
-中国人、黑人都可以 -你错了，日子长着呢
- Exactly. - You're as wrong as the day is long.
有好的 但我们找错了地方 They're out there. The problem is we're lookin'...
我不知道我们去哪里找 in the wrong places. We're looking someplace...
我们不找公共汽车司机 卡车司机、垃圾工 I don't know where, but we're not lookin' at bus drivers,
truck drivers, garbage men, and a lot of them are doing that.
我们没有好好对待他们 但他们是好人 We just won't give 'em the time of day, but they're good men.
你认识多少人，黑人 How many men do you know... black men...
可以跟一个 高学历、高收入的伙伴相处？ who can effectively deal with a mate who has more education...
他们都是混蛋，这是事实 and makes more money? Not many. They freak.
事实是我们正在 失去我们的人，这是底线 - I know there are. - The fact remains...
that we are losing our men. That's the bottom line.
很多情况不能怪他们 A lot of this doesn't have so much to do with black men.
我们怪他们，是他们的错 I know it does, we want to blame them, and it is their blame.
但部分原因是 那些白婊子勾引他们 Part of it is that white bitches throw themselves at black men.
看到她们看他们的眼神了吗？ - Do you see the way they look at 'em? - That's true.
你跟你的男人走 总有白母狗勾引他们 You can't walk down the street with your man...
without 29,000 white bitches comin' on to 'em.
她们不能找白男人 因为他们的父亲管得紧 They will give up their pussy because their fathers...
tried to keep it from them all their lives.
她们十八岁了 离开家去找黑男人 When they turn 18 and leave home they gonna get that black dick.
她们要得到他们 可能是你的、我的 They gonna get it. It can be yours, yours, or mine...
-她们要得到他们 -与黑男人干一分钟 and they want it. And they're gettin' it.
Deal with the black man for a minute.
这是自我发泄 他不能和自己的姐妹干 There's a lot of self-hate goin' on when he can't deal with his sister.
你怎么知道？你又没干过 How would you know? You won't deal with a black man.
我与黑人、中国人 拉丁美洲人、犹太人都约会过 I do date black men; but I also date Chinese, Latino, Jewish... the full spectrum.
这不是争论的安慰 That's not a consolation for this particular argument...
你认为我该与黑人约会 跟我喜欢的人约会 - that we're having. - It's not supposed to be.
You think I should date black men, but I'm gonna date who I like.
给我个男人，别管他的肤色 Give me a man, regardless of color,
只要他对我好 我相信他爱我就行 who is nice to me, sweet to me, and who I believe loves me.
-这不是肤色的问题 -我不是啥颜色都行的姑娘 Inez, I'm not the rainbow-fucking kind.
你是主要的彩虹姑娘 我们了解你 You are the leading rainbow girl.
We know this about you.
我要回到祖籍非洲去 到部落去找个男人 If it will make you happy, I'll make a pilgrimage to Africa...
the motherland, and find myself a true tribesman.
-一个直正的亚洲黑人 -鸡巴大得到膝盖 - A true Asiatic black man. - With a dick down to his knees,
让我能舒服好几天 to keep me happy for days.
-左罗那种！ -对 - Oooh! Zulu dick! - That's right, girl.
-丛林中有左罗那种鸡巴 -下流！ - I'm gonna get serious Zulu dick in the bush. - What a nasty!
你不知道没人理你的滋味 Do any of you know what it is like...
not being thought of as attractive?
-你相信那个？ -你不得不相信 - I can't believe you believe that! - It's the kind of shit you buy into.
我是班里最黑的 你明白我的意思 I was always the darkest one in my class.
I know you know what I'm talking about.
男生都去追浅色的 头发不卷的姑娘 All the guys ran after the light-skinned girls with long, straight hair.
同样的想法使我们输给白女人 That left me out. It's that same kind of thinkin'...
that leaves us out when it comes to white women.
以前男人找像你这样的女人 Back in the day, brothers would get sisters that looked like you.
但现在甚至浅色也不管用了 But now, light skin ain't even good enough.
今天他们去找直正的白人 Today, brothers are going for the gusto...
这就是富力普离开的原因 白女人使他这样 I mean the real McCoy. That's why Flipper's gone.
一切，社会上的一切 - White girls got it made. - The whole thing...
我们不断地重复做事 Everything in society... we keep doin' the same thing over and over;
我们不断地否认我们 自己的价值 we keep telling ourselves, negatin' ourselves.
看看那些成功的兄弟 Look at the brothers who are successful.
他们大部分都搂着一个白女人 Look at them! Most of the brothers who have made it...
- got white women on their arms. - That's true.
为了往上爬 In order to go up that ladder to success, seems like...
你必须要搂着一个白女人 - you got to have "Miss Thing" on your arm. - Mm-hmm!
他们的责任水平跟我们不一样 Their responsibility level isn't the same as ours.
这是个不尊重妇女的严重问题 It's not even a question of responsibility.
- It's a fundamental disrespect for women. - Yes, it is.
好男人很难对女人说“不” I don't care, the best man... it's hard for him to say no,
some pussy starin' him in the face. I'm sorry,
我不知道 还有天生说“不”的男人 I don't know the man that's been born that's gonna say no...
他四处看看，没有人 他就搞了那女人 he look around, nobody here... he gonna fuck the pussy.
如果你已经有了承诺 你应该说“不” If you want a committed relationship,
then you are supposed to be able to say no.
这对我是个“说不的艺术” It's the "Art of No" theory for me.
如果你跟这个人搞上了 你就没治了… If you know you're involved with this person,
- you have no business... I don't believe... - Look around.
我是说，我知道你会发火 I know there's such... You gonna get turned on.
你看到一个你喜欢的人 但你的头脑在说 You gonna see somebody you wanna fuck, but your mind's supposed to tell you,
我已经有固定的关系了 I have a committed relationship. I have a wife, whatever,
而告诉那人收拾起来坐下 and tell the dick to shut the fuck up and get down.
控制住那个混蛋，你知道？ Strap that motherfucker down! You know? Come on.
You're right. You have to.
你知道吗？ You know somethin', though?
管她是什么肤色 我的男人走了 It don't even matter what color she is.
My man is gone.
-不，富力普，不 -我要跟珠谈谈 Nah, Flipper. Nah.
你家客厅里正在开战斗会议 - I wanna talk to Drew. - There's a war council goin' on in your living room.
-明在哪里？ -在我们楼上睡觉 Where's Ming?
Asleep upstairs with us.
-我们去散步吧 -珠是怎么发现的？ Let's take a walk.
How did Drew bust me?
别告诉我是你说的？ Don't tell me it was because you opened your big mouth.
该死，我相信你！ 结果怎么样？ Goddamn. See... I trusted you!
You see what happens?
如果我不告诉我老婆 我去告诉谁呢？ - If I can't tell my wife, who can I tell? - Nobody, nobody, nobody!
谁也不告诉，我说过 对谁也不能说 Nobody, nobody!
I told you... don't tell a soul.
你答应过 你是电话信息服务？ You promised me. You 411 or somethin'?
我怎么知道维拉会告诉珠？ How was I supposed to know Vera was gonna tell Drew?
-我怎么会知道 -动动你的脑筋！ - I didn't know that shit. - Use your better judgment, that's how.
她是个女人，女人帮女人 She is a woman. All women stick together.
他们总是这样 我现在被赶出来了 They always do and always will.
Now I'm thrown out of my house because of your silly,
都是因为你不守秘密 娶了个大嘴老婆！ no-keepin'- a secret, married-to-a-blabbermouth wife!
别说我老婆 Don't talk about my wife. You need a place to stay,
你得有个地方住 你可以一直住在我们这里 you can stay with us as long as you want. Just say the word.
但别说我老婆！ - But don't talk about my wife! - Yeah, right.
好，整晚受监视？
Right! And be spied on all night?
我宁愿到联邦调查局去住 I'd rather live with the FBI and CIA.
她每小时都会向珠打报告 She would be giving her an on-the-hour report...
of everything I did to Drew.
大嘴小姐！ Miss... Big Mouth!
大嘴让你去搞那个女人吗？ Hey, did Big Mouth say go fuck that lady?
我们与此没有任何关系 We had nothin' to do with that shit.
你去责怪肇事者吧 -是你，不是我- Put the fuckin' blame on the blamee... you, not me.
对，你为什么笑？ That's right. Why you laughin'?
因为你毁了我 这就是我笑的原因 'Cause you fucked me up, that's why I'm laughin'.
我并不是有意的 - I didn't mean that shit. - Ho-ho.
-你有地方住 -你的婚姻完了 - You got a place to stay. - So your marriage's fucked up.
-我不是有意的 -去你的 - I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. - Fuck you.
是个错误，我不该告诉她 It was a mistake. I shouldn't have told her.
她的嘴真他妈的大 She has a big, fuckin' mouth.
# While the night is young # # While the night is young #
# And the stars are out # # And the stars are out #

对不起，小姐 你能帮我一下吗？ Excuse me, miss. Can you help me, please?
富力普，你怎么在这里 Flipper, why are you here?
-珠，这是给你的 -我不想要 - Drew, these are for you. - I don't want them.
-我们谈谈吧 -我不想跟你谈！ - I need to talk. - I don't want to talk to you.
-好 -对不起 - All right. - Sorry.
- Not out here, please. In my office. - All right.
Look, baby, I know you're upset,
- But... - I guess I just wasn't light enough for you, was I?
You had to eventually go get yourself a white girl.
- What do you mean, eventually? - What I mean is...
you got a complex about color. You've always had it.
I never wanted to believe it. All the girls you ever dated...
have been light-skinned girls... you and Cyrus, both of you.
You don't know what type of women I dated before we got together.
- That's not the issue. - The issue is 'cause you're so black, you have a problem.
- That's insane! That's insane! - Yes. Yes!
I've told you what happened to me when I was growin' up.
I've explained to you. I've poured my heart out.
I told you how they called me high yellow, yellow bitch.
White honky, honky white; white nigger, nigger white;
Octoroon, quadroon, half-breed, mongrel! And what do you do?
- Do you love this girl? - Ohh! Oh, Drew.
- You've gotta be kidding me. - Do you love her?
- I love you. - Do you love her?
No, no, no!
No, I don't.
I'm so glad for you.
So glad.
'Cause don't you know white people hate black people...
'cause they're not black?
They can't relate.
Look, Drew, did your white father hate your black mother?
You talkin' about my family?
This is what i'm saying. Color's got you fucked up, too.
Maybe it has! Maybe it has!
Maybe that's why this hurts me so much. Can't you see that?
- I trusted you. - I...
- And I loved you. - And you still do.
Oh, please, don't tell me what I feel!
I don't. And I won't again.
Take your tired-ass roses and get the fuck out of my place of business.
# Love can be so insecure #
# So please #
# Be sure ##
- Can you lend me Starbursts? - Some Now-And-Laters, too?
I'm gonna lend it to you? What am I, a library?
- Come on, get out. I told you I was closed. - Come on.
- Just 'cause I'm a nice guy... - Come on, Paulie.
- I seen that. - Come on, man.
- Get out. Out! - Hey, come on. You're a cheapskate.
I can't help it. It's my nature.
Ohhh!
- You want another egg cream? - No.
Boy, it seems like forever since I seen ya.
Where ya been?
Oh, just... been doin' things.
- You want another egg cream? - No.
- Sure? - Yeah.
- Paulie, sit down. - All right.
We've been goin' out for a long time, Paulie.
Yeah.
Look...
I care about you too much to bullshit you.
But, uh, I need to get away from here as far as possible.
I just... I wanna get out of here.
I don't understand. You movin' or somethin'?
Oh.
Paulie...
Paulie... please.
What is this about?
This is about something else.
- Is there anything else you wanna tell me? - It's not...
- Yeah? - Is your watch broken?
- I know what time it is. - I haven't eaten for ten hours!
- I know you're hungry. - I'm starving, you dumb son-of-a-bitch.
- I know you haven't eaten since lunch. - What am I, on a diet?
All right. I'll be up in a bit.
Lou's hungry.
Open the door.
Paulie?
Let me in.
- No. - Paulie?
- I gotta pee. - No, you don't!
Leave me alone. You just want to get in here.
Paulie, I'm gonna pee in my pants.
Open the fuckin' door! I gotta take a leak!
- Promise? - Yeah, I promise.
What's the matter with you? What the hell are you doin'?
You lied! You said you had to take a leak.
Locking yourself in the john like a little girl!
All because of some skirt.
Not some skirt. It's Angie. She's a woman.
You call that a woman!
I was married to a real woman... your mother.
That was a woman!
- I wanted to marry Angie. - She did you a big favor.
Marriage to her would have been hell.
Besides, marriage to her is a joke.
People get married, divorced, married.
All they think marriage is for is humping.
- They don't know the duties. - What duties?
Wifely duties.
Those kind of women are rare.
Your mother and me, we had our wars.
She didn't talk to me for almost...
two years. Not...
Not a word.
Still, she scrubbed my back.
Never stopped doin' her duties.
That woman was there for me.
Till death do us part.
That... was a fuckin' marriage.
Sometimes when I'm alone, she says to me,
"Lou...
kiss me."
But I...
I try.
But I can't find her lips.
# When was the last time #
# That they heard you say #
# Mother or Father #
# I love you #
# When was the last time That they heard you say #
A nigger! A nigger!
- A nigger! What kind of woman... - Daddy!
What kind of a woman are you? You fuck a black nigger?
I didn't raise you to be with no nigger! I'd rather you be a murderer...
- Jimmy! Charlie! - Or a child molester than fuck a black nigger!
- What's goin' on? What'd you do? - Get back!
- I'm telling ya to get back. - Don't do it!
It's none of your fucking business.
- You! Your mother's turning over in her grave. - Stop, Daddy!
This is how you scar your mother's memory?
I raised you to be a good Catholic girl. You're a disgrace!
- No! No! - You're a disgrace!
- Pop, what're you doin'? - Stop!
You're a disgrace to the Italians! You're a disgrace!
You could've gone out with a Jew or Irishman...
- but you picked a fucking nigger! - Calm down.
I wish your mother had lived and you had died.
- Let go of me! Get off me! - Calm down.
I'd rather stab myself in the heart with a knife...
than be the father of a nigger lover.
As far as I'm concerned...
Look at all you people. What the fuck you lookin' at?
Why don't you mind your goddamn business!
# Knowing you didn't always show #
# Just how much you loved him so #
# These three words #
- Hi, Frankie. - # Sweet and simple #
Why don't you come inside? Come on, let's go.
- Hey, Paulie. - Denise, just stay here.
- Okay. - I'll be back in ten minutes.
- Hey, Paulie. How ya doing, Paulie? - All right.
- Paulie, how's your father? - Okay.
Don't take too long, Vinny.
- I need an egg cream. - He's a nice kid.
Paulie, we know.
You know. We all know.
You're a jerk-off most of the time,
but I feel for you.
- A colored? - A spook?
- A spearchucker? - Jesus Christ, a fuckin' eggplant.
You know, Paulie, Jew girls do that all the time.
But I would have thought better of Angela.
She went to Catholic school for eight years.
- That's 16 years, you moron! - It's a fuckin' mystery.
- You gonna give her a beatin'? - Her father did that already.
I'm not talkin' about her father. I'm talkin' about you.
He ain't talkin' about Mike. He's talkin' about you.
See my girl, Denise. She knows better.
She got out of line one time, I stomped her in the midsection.
Morning, Paulie.
Good morning.
- How are ya? - Ah.
- Just okay? - The same.
All right. I'll see you later.
- Have a nice day. - You, too.
- Have a nice day. - Thank you.
Ooh, she's sweet, man. I'd fuck her.
- Definitely. - You'd fuck a mozzarella.
I'd fuck her. I'd fuck a nigger or spic in a second.
- Yeah... and the mozzarella. - I'd do it, too.
I wouldn't let anyone see us together. No way I'd walk...
down 18th Avenue with a black on my arm... no fuckin' way.
- Not even Paula Abdul? - Not even Paula Abdul.
- Abdul says she's not black. - Who's Paula Abdul?
She got big tits?
It's gotta stop somewhere. Next thing, a black guy...
will wanna pork Denise. They took over sports...
baseball, basketball, football, boxin'...
What do we got left? Hockey?
- Golf. - Golf! Come on, man.
They fuckin' elected Dinkins. Christ, when does it stop?
I don't need this shit from you guys today.
All you ever do is complain... complain.
When Dinkins won, the next day everybody was packin' up.
And where'd you go? Around the corner?
The first thing he does... appoints that black police commissioner.
- What's his name? - Lee Brown.
- Downtown Brown. - Did you vote?
- I didn't. I had to fix my car. - Patty, did you vote?
- No. I had to help my mom. - Veeshay?
- Yeah, I voted. - You didn't vote.
I did vote! Fuck you.
You're full of shit. Frankie Botz?
Sure, I voted... about six times.
I wrote Rudy, Rudy, Rudy.
I put a stamp on it. I don't know if they got it.
- Airmail. Fuckin' flew it in. - You're full of shit.
- Sonny, did you vote? - I went to PS 205.
They must've moved. What am I gonna do? Walk around all day?
You guys didn't even register to vote.
You never voted in your life. No wonder Giuliani lost.
What's the sense of voting? Look at Marion Barry,
smokin' crack with his girlfriend...
I mean, the mayor of D.C., the nation's capitol!
What does that have to do with David Dinkins?
- Two different people. - He's black!
There's Marion Barry and there's David Dinkins.
- Black on black. - David Dinkins, Marion Barry.
- Black on black. - He's talkin' of Dinkin Donuts.
One plus one is two... two different people.
They're both black! Read the Post.
- I sell the Post. - What about Central Park?
- Yeah, Salaam Baloney. - Guy writes a rap poem...
and says he innocent. He's not remorseful one bit.
What the fuck was that? "I'm a cool type of fellow, cool, calm, and mellow."
- Get the fuck out! - I'm not talking Central Park!
What are you talkin' about?
Let me ask you somethin'. Did you vote?
- Did I vote? Did I vote! - Yeah.
- Did you vote? - I voted.
- Who'd you vote for? - That's my business.
Your business, huh? You probably voted for Dinkins.
The guy who likes tennis.
- For what? - I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want to go to the doctor.
- There may be a fracture. - No, no, no.
- No, no, no? - No, no, no.
You're a toughie, huh?
- So, what do you think? - What?
I mean, it's small and the rent is an arm and a leg.
That's to be expected.
I always wanted a Village apartment.
You did? Well, here it is.
- The humble residence of two outcasts. - H-Huh.
- You got that right. - Mmm.
- Who's that? - I don't hear shit.
Did you tell anybody we were here?
- Give out your address? - I didn't give out my address.
Go away. Nobody lives here yet.
- Stay right there. - Mmm.
- All right! - Tell them we don't want any.
All right.
- Yeah? - I'm here to see my younger brother.
I'm his older brother, Gator.
- Hey! - Hi.
- Angela. - Nice to meet ya.
- Come on in. - Thanks.
- How ya doin'? - Pretty good.
- Flipper? - Yeah?
It's your brother.
My brother?
- Hey! - Hey.
- I'm gonna go unpack. - All right.
What the fuck are you doin' here?
How'd you find this address? Cyrus give it to you?
- She's white! - No shit! Yeah, she's white.
She got any money... real long money?
No, she doesn't have any money.
- She's a temp. - A secretary?
You mean to say my brother got him an ofay...
- who ain't got no mo-nay? - Shh.
What about Drew? Ming?
It's complex, man.
You see me, myself, personally...
I would have opted for some money and shit.
You know what I'm sayin'?
But I gots to give you some dap.
She looks good!
Most brothers with white bitches,
9 out of 10 they don't never have 'em no Penthouse Pet.
Most brothers be havin' an outhouse pet...
a dog with flies, fleas...
but that don't work for the white boy, see.
If a sister's on his arm, I guarantee you...
she be slammin'. Boom! Pow!
All right. What is it that you want?
You sure she ain't got no money?
She could be frontin', know what I'm sayin'?
Perpetratin' on the green.
- She's Jewish, right? - She's Italian.
Ohhh, shit!
Wha...
You always had to do things the hard way.
Lookee here. I'm a little light, so...
how' bout a loan?
Hmph! Help me.
You didn't get your check from "Soul Train" yet?
- Don lost my address. - Uh.
- Come on, hit me. - No, no.
- Put some cash in my hand. - Don't let the door...
- hit you where God split your back. - Man, gimme some money.
- Get out. - Don't do me like this here.
I'm not giving you anything.
- Gator, no. - Let me go in and ask the bitch.
No, no. Don't call her a bitch.
- She's not a bitch. - I didn't mean that.
Apologize and get the fuck out.
You okay?
I should go and see my little girl.
- Daddy! - Hey!
Come here.
Ahhh! That's a girl.
Look what I've got for you.
She's beautiful.
Yes, she is.
Daddy, Mommy takes me the wrong way to school every day.
- She does? - Yeah.
Ming-a-ling, there's more than one way to go to school.
I still like our way, Daddy.
I miss you and Mommy making funny noises in the morning.
That's your mother. She's the loud one. Wakes up all of Harlem.
It doesn't bother me. I wish you and Mommy...
were back together making those funny noises.
You coming home?
- Uh, go ask your mother. - I did.
She told me to ask you.
- Your father says to go ask your mother. - I just did.
Yo, Daddy. I'll suck your dick good for $5.00.
- You what? - $5.00... I'll suck your dick.
- Get off me! - $5.00!
- Get away from me! - All right, $3.00. Motherfucker!
Fuck you!
Watch where you're goin', man.
- You listen to me. - Ahh.
If I ever see you usin' drugs, I'll kill you. Understand?
I didn't do anything!
My dear, are you a Catholic?
Umm... I went to Catholic school my whole life,
- so I guess I am by now. - Umm.
In this house, we are Baptists.
Yes, the good reverend doctor was the head of his own flock,
the Hard Rock Baptist Church.
The devil and his cohorts conspired to oust me from my congregation.
Now, Daddy, you know...
the devil ain't had nothin' to do with it.
It was you... you and your stubbornness. That's all.
"For it must needs be that offenses come into the world;
but woe unto him by whom the offense cometh."
I recognize the devil's handiwork when I see it.
- That's good. - Please,
let's not argue at the dinner table.
Flipper, have you met Angie's folks?
Not as of yet.
Well, my mother passed away and my father, he's, uh...
he's asked me to leave.
- I'm sorry. - That's all right.
I just don't think we'll be having dinner there soon.
Has Flipper told you about his loving wife and daughter?
Yes, he has.
Um, excuse me.
You think I don't understand about the white woman...
committing black adultery, but I do.
Now, Daddy, no sermons, please.
There was a lot of lynchings in Willicoochee, Georgia...
where I come from when I was a boy.
Willicoochee, Georgia! What a name!
Willicoochee.
White man say to his woman: "Baby, you are the flower...
"of white Southern womanhood, too holy and pure...
"to be touched by any man, including me.
"I'm gonna put you up on a pedestal...
"so the whole world will fall down and worship you.
"And if any nigger so much as look at you,
I'll lynch his ass."
She believed him, thought she really was...
holy and pure, like the Virgin Mary.
She let him put her up on that pedestal.
Meanwhile, the husband, no sooner than the sun went down...
down to the slave quarters grabbin' up every piece...
of black poontang he could lay his hands on,
then running to the gin mill to brag about it.
And that's how our blood got diluted...
mulattoes, quadroons,
octoroons.
I'm sure that most of those high and mighty white ladies...
felt abandoned.
But they were so proud to be white, and therefore superior,
they kept their mouths shut and their legs locked tight.
But in the midnight hour,
layin' there, alone,
on the hot bed of lust,
I'm sure they must've thought what it would be like...
to have one of them big, black bucks...
their husbands were so desperately afraid of.
I feel sorry for you. Here it is the nineties,
still tryin' to make up for what you missed out on.
But I don't blame you.
As for the black man...
like my own son, Flipper, who ought to know better...
got a loving wife and daughter...
still got to fish in the white man's cesspool,
I have nothing but contempt.
Excuse me.
I don't eat with whoremongers.
But you knew she was comin'.
That's all right, Mama. That's all right.
Angie, we're leavin'.
Let's go.
Mama, I'm sorry.
But you invited them.
Great. One good thing that's happened all night...
a parking space.
Comin' out?
- Mmm. - Ohhh!
- Uh! Pow. Hey, hey! - Don't mess with me.
I got two rough brothers.
- Who do you think taught Mike Tyson? - Yeah.
- Gus D'Amato. - Gus D'Amato?
- But when he died, I taught him everything he knows. - Oh yeah?
- You wouldn't hit me with glasses, would you? - I would.
All those good Italian boxers there are.
Graciano, Marciano.
- Come on. La Motta. - La Motta!
How's that? What about Muhammad Ali?
- I hate Ali. - What?
Ali was a Muslim and he preached hate on the white people.
I'll kill you, you ever talk about Ali.
- You're a witch. - Get off!
I'll never stand for nobody to talk about Muhammad Ali.
That's you... a heretic witch!
Okay, game over.
Game over. Gimme my glasses.
- Say please. - I'm not gonna say please.
- That's not gonna stop me from being angry. Just...
Get your hands up! Put 'em up.
- Put 'em up. - Get your hands up!
- Get your hands up. - Back away.
Get your hands up... now! Move!
- What'd I do? - Against the wall!
- You all right, ma'am? - I'm all right. Let go of me.
- That's my boyfriend. What are you doing? - Get back.
I'm not her boyfriend. We're just lovers... just friends.
- This must be some kind of mistake. - Angie, shut up.
She doesn't know what she's talkin' about.
- He wasn't trying to rape you? - No!
- I didn't do anything. - Take the gun from his head.
- Talk to me. What? - It's just a big misunderstanding.
- That's all. - Slow. Turn around.
- I was just makin' sure she got home safe. - All right.
- Sorry about that. - No harm, no foul.
We got a call that an Afro-American male...
was attacking a Caucasian woman.
You all right, man? Just a little excitement.
No problem. What? Give me a reason, man!
- Don't you dare try it! - Better luck next time.
- Excuse the intrusion. - Are you crazy?
I'll have your badge. I'll bring you up on charges!
- Shut up. Shut up. - I'm gonna report this.
What's the matter with you, telling 'em we're lovers!
- You tryin' to get me killed. - It's none of their business.
What a waste!
What the fuck am I doin' here?
- Let's go. - Don't touch me.
No, no. Don't touch me.
- Let's go. - Please.
- Morning, Paulie. - Morning.
- How are you today? - Good.
See ya later. Bye.
# Excuse me please Your Majesty #
# I chanced it small but nervously #
- Orin? - Yeah.
- Can I ask you a question? - Yeah.
- Did you fill out that application? - Not yet.
- Paulie! - I'm gonna get to it.
Listen I... I...
Do you think you could be attracted to a white boy?
A white boy.
Could this white boy be Paulie Carbone?
Possibly. Yeah.
I don't know. Maybe. I'd have to think about it.
Why don't you think about it?
Okay. But can I be honest with you?
I have never thought of you in that way.
- I'm sorry. - I like you.
You're serious. Why? Why me?
You really wanna know?
- You wanna know? - Yeah, I wanna know.
You're intelligent and I find you very...
very attractive.
Thank you. That's nice. It's sweet.
But I got to get to work. I have a class later.
I gotta go. Bye.
Remember, think about it on the way to the subway.
Yeah, right.
You see this shit? I don't believe it.
Don't get too long. You'll burn your brain out.
- I don't know why you're trying to rap Miss Goody. - Goode.
Goode, whatever. Doesn't even talk to us.
- Who does she think she is? - Orin talks...
to whoever talks to her.
She said good morning to me one time.
Paulie, did you fuck her?
Did you fuck her? You know, colored women...
- they like to fuck. - Oh yeah?
They're built that way. You put a saddle on them,
you ride them into the sunset. I'm telling you, they love it.
- How do you know? - He asked his mother.
What the fuck's that supposed to mean?
My mother's not black. She's just dark.
- There are dark Italians. - Come on. Basta.
- I'm as white as anybody here. - Okay, Frankie. Relax.
- We're just busting your balls. - My brother ain't no crackhead.
- Hey, Frankie! - Tony's on methadone.
- Fuckin' drug addict. - He's a recovering addict...
- On methadone. Fuck you. - Fuck me? Fuck you!
Don't talk about my brother that way.
- Your brother's a fucking thief. He stole a radio out of my car. - Come on.
- How do you know? - How do I know!
He tried to sell it back to me.
You're full of shit. Nobody listens to you anyway.
- Full of shit? Ask Sonny. - Fuck Sonny.
- I'm gonna wring your neck. - I'll wring your neck.
Hey, hey, hey!
Go get a job or do something else somewhere else.
Leave me alone. Give me room here.
You don't even have the fucking balls...
to get a piece of that big black ass.
You don't got the pallinis.
- What? - You don't have the balls.
- Says who? - Says who? Says all of us!
- I only hear you. - I'm in charge here... right?
- Whatever you say. - We're friends, all right?
Friends... no such thing. Either you're doin' it...
or you're not doin' it. And you're not doin' it!
You're jealous because she speaks to me every morning.
- We're dyin' of envy here, Paulie. - Hey!
Seen Angie lately?
You miss her, right?
I heard she's livin' in Harlem. I saw her buyin' a kanga.
Hear she got a pair of unlaced Jordans, too.
You got a big mouth. Shut your mouth!
- I'm not... - Don't you laugh.
- Eat your fuckin' cake. - Get outta here.
I'll bury you, you fuck.
Okay, Mama. It's all right.
I don't know what's wrong with Gator!
I've prayed so much for that boy. He's gonna give me a heart condition.
- What did he do now? - Gator left...
before you got here. Come over wantin' to borrow the color TV.
- For what? - Said he wanted to watch the Mets... see Gooden pitch.
I told him he couldn't watch the game here because...
the reverend would be back and would raise holy hell if he saw him in this house.
- What happened then? - He got mad,
unplugged the TV, picked it up, and walked on out of here.
Said he'd bring it back after the game.
Look, Mama. Listen.
Just listen.
Mama, you can forget about the TV.
You should also forget about Gator.
In the end, he's only gonna break your heart.
Hush your foolishness.
The good Lord knows I raised you two the best I know how.
Gator is your oldest brother, me and your father's first child.
- Your first child is a crackhead. - Don't say that!
- It's the truth. - You mustn't say that about your brother.
- Look, Mama... - He is not a crackhead.
It's not your fault, not my fault,
not the good reverend doctor's fault; and it ain't got nothin' to do with the devil.
Find him and get the TV back before your father comes home.
Mama, please listen to me. Forget about the TV.
I don't want to hear any back talk... not another word!
Do as I say. Find your brother...
- and get the good reverend's TV back. - Okay.
All right. All right.
All right.
Love ya a heap.
Acknowledge the Lord...
He will direct thy path.
Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.

- I got the shit! Well, light it then! - Come on, Viv.
- Gator. - Hey!
Welcome to the Taj Mahal, eighth wonder of the world.
Mama wants to know where the TV is.
Mets lost! They're sorry motherfuckers. Half can't play as good as Mama.
Where is the TV, Gator?
Where do you think the motherfuckin' color TV is?
It's right here! Me and Viv smokin' the fuckin' TV.
Sony... no baloney.
- Motherfucker, don't... - Hey, hey, hey!
- Come on, Viv. Calm down, baby. - Don't be touchin' me!
- It's all right. Come on! - Shit!
- That fuckhead's shittin' with my shit! - Look, look here.
Mama is cryin' her eyes out over your sorry black ass!
Look, I like gettin' high.
Why you think I got a room here at the Taj Mahal?
I'm a junkie, a crackhead.
Just tell Mama her older son is a crackhead.
Fine, that's it. We're cuttin' you off, Gator.
Don't come by the good reverend doctor's house.
Don't ever ask me for shit!
If you want to go out like this, fine, do it with your crack ho.
Crack ho, crack ho! Eat me, motherfucker!
Fuck you!
Take your box-head ass on outta here, motherfucker!
Get the fuck downtown with your Mickey Mouse ass...
and that spaghetti-cookin' bitch of yours!
Leave me alone.
All you crackheads! I'll shoot you.
Crapshoot for crackheads!
Give it to me! Goddamn it, give it to me!
Pull this motherfuckin' shit out of your pocket!
- Fuck! Get off me! - Where the fuck you get this from?
I've been suckin' dicks for your ass...
and you got this shit in your pocket.
Gimme all this goddamn shit!
You and your brother can kiss my fuckin' yellow ass!
Where's my lighter, man? Fuck you!
Fuck all y'all!
Motherfucker.
Come on, shit, bring your sorry ass over here.
Here! Motherfucker.
So, where we goin'?
We gonna be together?
We're together now.
I don't know.
You don't know. Who the fuck knows?
- Is that the way it is? - That's the way it is.
What about children?
No, no. That's not gonna happen.
I'm sayin'... if we work it out.
No children.
No, no, no. No babies.
Besides, I gotta be married to have children.
Or have you forgotten that I already am married?
With a child.
No. No half-black, half-white babies for me.
No!
Aren't Drew and Vera mulattoes?
Their skin is lighter than mine.
No octoroon, quadroon, mulatto... babies.
No!
Don't you have a daughter who's got white blood?
Yeah, so what?
At least in my eyes, Drew and Ming are black.
They look black, act black, so they are black!
It's hard enough just being black out here.
A lot of times the mixed kids...
they come out all mixed-up, a bunch of mixed nuts.
You're not that much different than my family.
Your family is racist!
What is this stuff you're talking now?
Angie?
Angie!
I'll be damned.
Ain't that some shit.
Would you like me to tell you what happened?
I still care about you, Paulie.
How do you feel?
How do you expect me to feel?
I don't feel the same.
Angie, I gotta go.
Nice to see you back in the neighborhood.
Okay.
Out?
Out where?
Out on a date.
Ahh. A date.
Who with?
Orin Goode.
She's...
She's... She's black.
Yeah. Right. So what?
You don't bring no brown sugar home to this house!
If your mother was alive,
she'd turn over in her grave!
Papa, I'm going out.
You are not going out.
- I'm going out. - I'll kick your balls through your throat!
Pop, I got no life, you understand?
Everything I do is for you!
Paulie, do this. Paulie, do that.
Paulie, wash my back. Paulie, what's for dinner?
I'm not your fuckin' wife!
I'm your son!
You had your life! I want a life, man! You had yours!
You...
You hate me.
Yeah.
You hate your own father.
I don't hate you.
I'd like to kill you, but I don't hate you.
You are not my son!
You bastard.
Fuckin'...
- You are not my son! - Lou! - Damn!
You bastard! You are not my son.
- What's the matter? - Where you goin', Paulie?
- You burn your supper? - Paulie, who's the lucky girl?
You look pretty tonight, Paulie.
You goin' out with that fuckin' nigger?
You think you're better than me, Paulie?
You're a fuckin' disgrace.
Asshole, you're no better than me.
Where's your books, Paulie, huh?
Fuckin' piece of shit, Paulie.
Aaah! Aaah!
- Hi, Orin. - Paulie, good God, what happened to you?
- I fell over some garbage. - Come on in.
You look terrible.
Hi.
Angie, I don't think there's anything left to talk about.
I give up.
- It's not worth it. - I know.
I mean, this... it's not worth it.
I don't love you.
And I doubt seriously if you've ever loved me.
Don't tell me what I felt or didn't feel.
Look, Angie,
this "Love will overcome everything" is in Walt Disney films.
I've always hated Disney films.
I didn't come here to talk about "Snow White."
You got with me to spite your family...
'cause you were curious about black.
Is that what you think it was?
Yeah, I do.
And I was curious about white.
Okay, look, I just came to say...
I hope everything works out with your wife.
Yeah.
Angie, hold on a second.
- You gonna be all right? - Yeah.
Well, I'm moving out of here in the morning.
You can have it if you want.
That's okay.
Okay.
There he is. Going to walk that goddamn barkin' rat of his.
Hurry up, old man. Just keep walkin', keep walkin'.
Here we go. Showtime!
- Gator! What do you want? - I need to see you.
- The good reverend doctor isn't here. - I know.
That's why I need to see you now.
Well, hurry up! Come on!
Hey, pretty lady, remember me?
Say whatever you have to say and go before your father comes back.
What's the matter? Don't you like my dancing anymore?
- You usually offer to cook me something to eat. - I ain't playin' with you.
Say what you got to say and then go!
If it's money you want, forget it!
Mama, I need money! I'm sick!
In order for me to get right, I need money!
You'd feel better if you had a bath!
The devil's got you.
- 75 cents! What the hell am I gonna do with 75 cents? - Gator!
Goddamn coupons!
- I save a lot of money using them coupons. - I need some money!
I know you got money in here somewhere!
What happened to that $100 I gave you last time and the time before?
Fuckin' mon... Mama, give me some money!
Don't you raise your voice at me! I'm still your mother.
- As God is my witness, this is my last time.
I swear 'fore God and four more white people,
- this is the very last time. I swear! - Lies, lies!
You're out of your mind. I'm not giving you a red cent.
And what happened to your father's color TV?
Mama, I smoked the TV.
Lord have mercy on your twisted soul.
I ain't goin' nowhere till you give me some money!
- I don't have any money! - What about some jewelry?
These pearls aren't real. This is costume jewelry.
- Well, gimme something! - Just leave, boy!
Go before your father gets back in this house.
- I know there's some money here somewhere. - You won't find nothing.
Just stop!
Let go of your mother's pocket book!
Get away, Mama. I need some money! I'm sick!
If you're sick, why don't you go someplace and lie down?
What is all this shit? Where is the money?
- Why are you treating me like this? - You won't find money in that pocket book.
I haven't got any money, not the kind you lookin' for.
$20? Is that all the money you got?
Oh, my God!
- $20 ain't shit! - For the love of Jesus, go!
Boy, didn't I tell you never to set foot in my house again?
Where's the money? Why you hidin' it?
- Have you lost your natural mind as well as your soul? - Let him leave.
- Didn't I tell you never to darken my door again? - Gator's leaving.
- I ain't going nowhere. - All right, all right.
I'll put you out.
See, Mama? If you gave me the money, I'd be gone before he came back.
- Now give me some money. - If I had money, I'd give it to you.
- You've got money. Give it to me. - Take anything in this house.
- You can sell it. - You got more money than this $20!
- See this? You can sell it. - I don't want that shit!
My own flesh and blood, my firstborn son, and I love you.
But you're evil and you're better off dead!
All right, all right! I'm leavin'.
I'm leavin'!
Take it. Sell it.
The devil's work is never done. The devil's always busy.
Mama, check out this new step.
I made this one up just for you.
I paid a lot for these. Take 'em!
Sell it, sell it!
Take these and sell it, boy.
For God's sake, Gator, please go.
I'll pray for you, my son.
Father, I stretch my hands to Thee.
Aaah!
- Oh, God! - Help me.
- It hurts! Aaah! - My baby.
- No! No! - Make it stop.
Oh, God, no!
My baby.
My darling boy.
My firstborn. No! Not my firstborn!
Mommy's here.
Mommy's here!
No other help I know.
- If Thou withdraw Thyself from me... - Mommy's here!
Ah, whither shall I go?
Mommy's here.
It won't hurt.
You better go now. Just leave.
Ming.
Come on, wake up, you faker.
Daddy, I heard you and Mommy.
Are you moving back in with us?
No, not today, baby.
- Maybe in the future. - When is the future?
Soon.
Daddy, can you walk me to school today?
Yo, Daddy, I'll suck your big black dick for $2.
No!
