Thank you.

Oh, Ali, stop.

Mmm-hmm, I miss you, too.

You know, I'm sorry things got

kind of crazy before I left, you know?

But that's how that go.

What?

Oh, so you think I'm going to

come crawling back?

I hope them negative words

taste real good rolling off your lips...

because one day

you're going to have to eat them.

Is everything all right, Miss?

Now, then, who could be calling

at this time of night?

It's my boyfriend.

Shall I answer?

This is the Blakemore residence.

One moment, please.

It's for you.

You tell him I'm through with his sorry ass.

Go on, tell him.

Hello, sir.

She's through with your sorry ass.

I wonder, would you mind

repeating that, sir?

Thank you.

He says you're tripping

because you're in Hollywood...

and he hopes you don't get played.

Oh, I'm tripping, and he hope

I don't get played?

Tell him he better hop his mama

don't get played.

Hello, sir.

She hopes your mama don't get played.

Wait a moment, sir.

- Yes, she is, as a matter of fact.

- What?

He asked if you were biting your lip.

Yes, yes.

But that's truly extraordinary, isn't it?

All right, sir, I will.

Good night now.

What he say?

Well, he said he's sorry,

maybe he's tripping...

but he misses you very much on the real.

Good night, Miss.

On the real.

This little piggy ate the ravioli.

Why you wearing them gloves

in the house?

Because, my love, your skin is too soft...

to suffer the roughness

of my hard-working hands.

You are so sweet.

Wait, wait, wait, whoa. Wait.

I ain't doing that till I get married.

You putting a ring on this finger?

A ring?

I already have a ring.

You do?

Come with me.

Mr. Blakemore was kind enough

to let me keep the ring safe in here.

- Ready? - Yes.

I can't open it.

Oh, OK. Well, let me try. Let me try.

What's the combo?

- 5 left. - 5 left.

- Zero right. - Zero right.

And 10 left.

10 left.

It's not opening, is it?

That's not it.

It's all right, bellissima.

I will verify the code

with Mr. Blakemore in the morning.

Promise?

Promise.

OK.

Have a good night.

Sleep tight.

Welcome to

the British Overseas Network.

The following BBC program

can be heard again on Thursday at...

Oh, so you stealing, huh?

I'm going to have to beat you

like you stole something then.

Oh, I'm going to have to hit you hard,

like Tyson.

Nisi?

Ooh, what?

Nisi?

Ooh! Ha ha ha. What?

Tyson wouldn't hit him like that.

He wouldn't?

No. He'd hit him like this.

Oh, no, no, no.

You ain't seen his last fight...

'cause you was in the kitchen

getting popcorn.

Tyson... would do it like...

This!

No, Tyson...

Would really hit him like...

- this! - This!

Yeah, come on.

Antonio.

What's going on here?

What is this?

Help me out.

Help you out?

I'm calling the police.

The three of you are stealing

from my uncle.

No, the girls had nothing to do with it.

- It was Antonio. - Antonio?

Isaac, our plan can still work.

It will be our words against theirs.

Her fingerprints are still on the safe, man.

I beg your pardon?

I don't know what you're talking about.

What plan?

I'm calling the police.

Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry.

Look what you've done,

you little skeezers!

Skeezers?

Uh-huh.

Now, I'm going to have to

spank that ass like Tyson.

I said come on!

And stay on your feet!

And he was there,

and he hit me from behind.

Well, that was that.

I'll report more fully to you in the morning

and, I promise I'll be there as early as I can.

Thank you so much, officer.

Oh, for goodness sake, let's go.

I'll read you your rights.

You have the right to remain silent.

Hello? You there?

Come on, look at me. Look at me!

Did you say right or fight?

Right. You have the right to remain slient.

Anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

I don't know how he slept through all that.

You think he's still alive?

I don't know.

Maybe we should check his pulse.

Wait a minute, you took a CPR class,

didn't you?

Yeah. 'Cause all the cute guys

was in there.

No! Didn't you learn anything?

No. But I did meet James.

We're going to check his heart

to see if it's still beating.

Go on, you check it.

You check it.

- You check it. - You check it.

You check it.

It's on your side.

He's alive.

I'm going to bed.

Nisi?

Nisi?

That's OK. We got it.

Hello. Good morning.

I'm Tracy Shaw,

Mr. Blakemore's attorney.

Look, here, we ain't had nothing to do

with what happened last night.

I swear to God.

Oh, I know.

And if anybody says differently...

you make sure you have them call me.

Everything is OK now.

Thank God we caught this

before Isaac went too far.

I received this package

from his attorney this morning.

Mr. Blakemore...

Isaac has filed documents

of incompetency against you.

I guess once he got the photos

he needed...

this girls were no longer of

any value to him.

He claims you befriended two girls

from the ghetto...

after you caught them

trying to break into your home.

You then moved the girls into your home...

and, for a lack of a better phrase...

you've been allowing them

to rob you blind.

How dare he!

Girl, I can't believe

Isaac would do this to Mr. Blakemore.

Yeah, that is kind of messed up.

Mickey, Nisi, it was a pleasure

meeting the both of you.

How's he doing?

Does he want something to eat?

I think he just needs to rest right now.

- He will be fine. Good-bye. - Bye.

All he needs is energy.

Remember when I told you...

my grandmama used to make

my granddaddy a special drink...

that would get him going?

Yeah?

But didn't you tell me

that is not only got him up...

but that it got him... up?

Up is up.

I don't know how we're going to

get him to drink all them egg yolks.

The same way my grandmama did.

Ladies, I didn't hear you come in.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hello.

We decided to make you

a breakfast drink.

You didn't have to do that.

But we wanted to.

We're sorry about what happened

last night.

Yeah.

Yeah, so am I.

Please have a seat.

Money.

Money makes people

do the strangest things.

Isaac brought you here

for his own selfish reasons...

but did he promise you anything?

Like a fee?

- Wasn't no fee involved, was there?

- No.

We here because we want to be.

Which is all the more reason

why you should have these.

- $50,000? - Holy sh*t!

I mean shoot.

Uh-uh, Mr. B.

Ain't no way we could take this.

We're here because we want to be.

You know, until this very second...

the only person I ever totally trusted

in my entire life was Lily.

I feel like dancing.

Go, go! Get it! Get it!

Let's get this party jumpin'!

West Side!

The roof! The roof!

The roof is on fire!

Mr. B, you OK?

Let's go sit down.

You don't look so good.

You feeling kind of dizzy?

Let's sit him down right here.

Right here.

OK, I'm fine, really.

You sure?

I just got a little short of breath

for a second. I'm OK.

You was getting down out there, Mr. B.

I think it's time for us to go home.

Yeah, 'cause Manley's embarrassing us.

So that's why we made you fall out.
