Yeah, I'm your special doctor.

Oh. Oh!

Oh, wait. Oh, stop. Please.

Oh, my.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

I didn't mean

to cause any trouble.

You didn't do anything

wrong. The guy's a freak.

- He was gonna hurt you.

- But he's a doctor.

No, no.

He's not a doctor.

Now, listen to me. You got to

protect yourself in here, okay?

You're the mopping man.

Yeah, I'm Jay.

Where's your mop?

Doesn't matter. I got to get

out of here. You gonna be okay?

Mrs. Nealberry,

go back to bed, please.

It's time to get up.

No, baby. It's time to sleep.

It's time to sleep.

Hey. Be careful.

It's time to get up.

Wash your face, wash your hands.

Sh*t.

What are you doing?

I'm coming with you.

What? No! You can't leave.

You're a patient.

I don't like it here.

Yeah, I get that.

But you can't just stand here.

Where should I stand?

Come on. Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

Where are your shoes?

I don't have any.

How can you not have shoes?

They hurt my feet.

Look.

You got to go back inside.

You got to tell them

what happened, okay?

Please?

What's wrong?

What's happening?

Okay, okay, okay.

Just breathe.

Look at me. Look at me.

Just breathe. Breathe, okay?

Just breathe, okay?

Look. I really don't care

if you don't want to go back.

You can do whatever you want,

okay?

Okay. Look.

Grab a cab.

Call somebody.

Do something, okay?

- Who should I call?

- I don't know.

You're supposed to know

the people you know.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Okay.

Take care of yourself.

Get some shoes.

What is this place?

- Uh, it's a club.

- What kind of club?

Uh, it's a dancing club.

For people that like to dance?

Yeah,

for people who like to dance.

- Why is it so dark?

- 'Cause it's a club

for people who like

dancing in the dark.

That lady didn't

have any clothes on!

Did she? I didn't...

I didn't even really notice.

A lot of people in here

don't have clothes on.

Okay. Take a seat.

I'm gonna go talk

to some people.

Just don't move, okay?

Okay.

You, me, new Orleans.

No.

Pretending to be a nurse

makes me uncomfortable.

You hump a pole naked for money,

but this makes you

uncomfortable?

Uh-huh.

You don't see the irony there?

- Unh-unh.

- Okay.

Does anybody want to go

to Jay's brother's wedding?

No.

Come on, you guys.

I need a date.

And why should we help you?

Uh, because I'm putting you

through college

with all those dollars

I drop in your panties?

Well, what's in it for us?

The fuzzy feeling you get

helping a friend?

Why are you wearing those shoes?

Get inside

and I'll take you to the stars

She dances beautifully!

I got them pushing

their fancy cars

young, hot, real cute,

even in a space suit

Um, you might want

to come check on your friend.

Oh.

I need someone who can aim,

fire

red velvet dynamite

I'm a loaded gun tonight

I'm a sex pistol,

pistol, pistol

Yo, sweets, you got to get out.

But Jay said that this

was a dancing club.

Jay who?

Jay.

He snuck us in the back.

He said that he didn't want

the bouncer to see us.

Yo, you got to get down.

Come on.

What? No, no.

No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no! No! No, no,

no, no, no, no! Stop!

Hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey!

Yo, you need to leave now!

Okay, take it easy.

We're going.

You all right?

Okay. We're going.

We're going.

Come on.

You all right?

Okay.

This fat man

offered me $100 for a hand job.

I've never had a job.

You sure you have

no one you can call?

You have no friends?

You have no family?

You have nobody?

What am I supposed to do

with you?

Do you have I.D.?

You got to show I.D.

At security.

I have it. It's in here.

What's happening?

Wh-what's wrong?

Um, I, uh... Um...

I-I don't...

I-I don't know what to do.

That's okay. I have a plan,

and it's a good one.

All you have to do is smile

and eat yummy snacks.

And when people say,

"hey, what do you do?"

You say, "I'm a nurse."

I'm not supposed to lie.

It's not a lie.

Not a lie.

It's pretending, which is fine.

What's the difference?

I'll explain it to you later.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Your dancer friends

really don't mind

I borrowed their clothes?

No, no.

They wanted to help.

Are you sure this looks okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You look fantastic.

Really, you look great.

Just, uh, uh,

keep the sweater on.

- This?

- Yeah.

Whoa!

Oh. You okay?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

I'm sorry. Hi.

Hi.

Your friend's

been in the bathroom

for a really long time.

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Daisy, it's me.

It's Jay.

There's no flusher.

She's a first-time flyer.

Yeah, there is, honey.

It's just a little different

than usual.

You see the button in the wall

above the seat?

It's actually a lever.

Yeah, push that.

It says "flush" right on it.

But the letters are worn off.

Anyway, just push it.

Aaah!

It was really loud.

You handled it well, though.

Okay, let's try

and get some sleep, okay?

I'm not sleepy.

Then eat your peanuts.

I already did.

Then eat mine.

I already did.

Hey,

this flight's called a red eye.

Do you know why?

Because if we don't get sleep,

we're gonna have red eyes

when we get to new Orleans.

And you don't want red eyes

when you meet my family, do you?

No.

No.

So, let's be quiet.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

- Hi.

- Hi.

We have another problem.

Let's go, hon.

You can't sit here.

But the seats

are too small back there.

I know, but we didn't pay

for the big seats.

Can we pay for them now?

No, we can't pay for them now.

What's wrong with her?

Excuse me. There's nothing

wrong with my girlfriend.

Thank you.

Let's go, hon. I'm lonely

back there. Come on.

Do we have to sleep?

No, we don't have to sleep.

Can we get some of those

good nuts in the nice dish?

Um, take mine.

I already did.

Everyone's moving around.

Yeah, we're getting ready

to land.

Before...

You called me your girlfriend.

Am I really your girlfriend?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're my girlfriend.

My mother told me I would

never be anybody's girlfriend.

Well,

I guess she was wrong, then.

Whew.

I think I'm just gonna

stay out here.

You'll be okay.

You'll be okay.

Come on.

So, let's move Consuela

to the family table

because the wedding party

will be somewhere else.

Hey, mom.

Oh!

You're really here.

Ohh! Mwah!

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Mom, this is Daisy.

- Oh, yes. Hello.

- Hi.

Welcome.

Oh, my.

What a cute skirt.

Oh, you have no shoes on.

Oh, God, mom.

We are... we are really beat.

Of course. Look at me.

I'll have Mary

bring up your things.

We don't really have any things.

Your luggage?

Yeah, we traveled...

we traveled light.

Well, I can always

pick you up a suit.

And remember, this is the South,

so you'll have two rooms.

I wouldn't stay

in the same room with a man.

Yeah, we haven't, uh...

we aren't...

Oh.

Oh.

Well, you'll be sleeping

in Marie Antoinette's bed.

Oh, no, no.

That's okay. She can have it.

I'll just sleep on the floor.

Oh, you are so funny.

No, darling.
