Be Cool Page #9
Pull me up, man!
You can't hang me like this!
Stop this sh*t, man!
It's a long way, man!
Come on, man.
Pull me up, man!
Come on.
There's cameras all over this b*tch, man.
You're gonna be
all over the surveillance, man.
I'm asking you, please!
Help! Help!
Stop playin', man!
Stop bullshittin', man!
Man, there's a law office
down there, man!
I'ma wake the lawyers up.
Lawyers, what's up?
Lawyers, can you see me?
It's Raji from Carosell.
C-A-R-O...
I'm gonna drop yo' ass.
You can't hit me, man.
You can't hang me over a thing
and hit me!
Pull my ass up!
Sin, my bro.
Would you cut the "my brother" sh*t?
You're insulting my mother.
I'm not in business with Chili Palmer.
I'm the one trying to get him out.
The piece of sh*t stole my act.
You son of a b*tch.
You set me up.
Who the hell are you?
I give you ticket,
and you tell me Chili Palmer come
to my store and I kill him.
But nyet.
No Chili come.
Yo, Tolstoy.
Take a number.
The cops come with ticket.
Cops? What cops?
Excuse me, Vladimir?
I don't know how they do it in the Ukraine,
but I believe I was here first.
Be cool, n*gger.
N*gger?
Look, you don't understand.
This is how Chili Palmer operates.
It's like a game between us.
He knows I tried to set him up,
so he did it right back to me.
Then game is over.
No more set-ups.
- No more...
- You know that video's got you!
N*gger cops.
Have you lost your mind?
I mean, how is it that you can
disrespect a man's ethnicity
when you know we've influenced
nearly every facet of white America,
from our music to our style of dress,
not to mention your basic imitation
of our sense of cool...
walk, talk, dress, mannerisms.
We enrich your very existence,
all the while contributing
to the gross national product
through our achievements
in corporate America.
It's these conceits that comfort me
when I'm faced with the ignorant,
cowardly, bitter and bigoted
who have no talent, no guts,
people like you who desecrate
things they don't understand
when the truth is
you should say, "Thank you, man,"
and go on about your way.
But apparently,
you're incapable of doing that.
So...
,
And don't tell me to be cool.
I am cool!
Racial epithets.
Why does it always come down to that?
Makes me sad for my daughter.
You need money?
I got you!
I got you.
Focus.
Sin, I'm the one who promoted you.
I'm the reason
you're even owed 300 grand.
I'm telling you, you want Chili Palmer.
Pull my ass up!
Bring his ass back inside.
All right, I want y'all to give it up
and lay it down
for a good friend of mine... Linda Moon!
There was a time
when I was so broken-hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables are turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
But that kind of love
was the killing kind
Yeah
All I want is someone
I can't resist, yeah
I know all I need to know
by the way that you kiss
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love was sweet misery
I was tryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down on me
Baby
'Cause what you got inside
It ain't where your love
should stay, yeah
Our love, sweet love, ain't love
till you give your heart away
Yeah
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love was sweet misery
Baby
I was tryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down on
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby
She's a diva.
Told you.
She's gonna be huge.
Ain't that right, Joe Perry?
Baby, yeah
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do,
what you do down on
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Yeah
Linda Moon!
- Linda Moon!
- That's right.
Give it up, L.A.!
I said Linda Moon!
That was incredible.
I feel like I can't even breathe right now.
Well, 20,000 people will do that to you.
Oh, my God.
Listen, you were great.
Good luck.
And you know, the crowd's
only gonna get bigger for you.
- Thank you.
- See ya.
Linda Moon!
Careful what you wish for.
What about our girl, huh?
- She was amazing!
- Amazing.
- To Linda Moon.
- To Linda Moon.
To you.
You know, you said something
when Elliot was here,
that you wanted to do something.
What was that?
I think it might've been
something like this.
Are you just using me
to get into the music business?
Edie, I like you.
Good.
Wake up.
- What is it?
- Listen!
What's wrong?
It sounds like
Knockin' On Heaven's Door.
All right, I'll check it out,
I'll check it out.
Evening, gentlemen.
Interesting choice of music.
That cold black cloud's comin' down.
Gotta love Dylan, man.
Biograph. It's a great album.
You know, we wouldn't have
this song without it.
But we would've.
Because, you see, Dylan wrote that
originally for that Peckinpah movie
with James Coburn.
You're in no position to correct me.
It was to a soundtrack.
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
Yup. Same song they played
when Slim Pickens died in his wife's arms.
Right?
This man knows his westerns.
Good movie.
Gentlemen, thank you very much
for that VH1 moment in music history.
Time's up.
I want my money.
All right, well, tomorrow
you come by the office
and we'll deal with it.
How bad you want this?
Know what that is?
It's Linda Moon's contract.
- Nick Carr give you that?
- Much to his dismay.
,
I just doubled it.
And you got one minute
to come up with my money.
And at the end of that time,
I wanna smell money or smell blood.
It's your choice.
Sin, I want you to hear something.
I don't wanna hear sh*t.
You call that a minute?
You don't even have to say nothin'.
I already know. I know.
I can't help it, man!
Don't give me no gun, then.
You know what I'm gonna do.
Look, Sin, you're a music producer.
You gotta hear this.
Look, shoot me later,
but hear this now.
Like you've been left alone.
But you know deep down you're wrong
wonder. Have you ever. Ever felt
a little unsure
But then again secure?
Tell me. Have you ever felt
just like letting go?
What the hell is going on here?
Ain't no reason...
I'm playing Sin the CD.
Yeah. I noticed.
Sorry to wake you, Edie.
But your girl here's got a good voice.
I mean, the first song was nice,
but this one...
powerful lyrics...
just resonates with me.
You know what Sin said,
he said it's all there,
he just needs to put his touch on it.
That's it.
That's exactly what I said.
So, how is Sin proposing to do this?
Let me produce her.
I'll fatten up her sound,
give her some edge.
Maybe even add in a little... a little...
Yeah, huh?
Man's got a point, Edie.
Nothin' against Hy Gordon,
but the man is white.
That's true, Sin.
But what's that gonna cost me?
Well, just a producer's credit.
And a little something
on the back end.
Which could end up being millions.
Only if I make it a hit.
Tea?
What's with the finger?
What's that?
That's not gangsta.
