Down to Earth Page #5
Ifyou can walk, let's walk.
Ifyou can't walk, | it's time to roll.
Ifyou got crutches, | then crutch your ass in there.
We are goin' in. | Come on, Big I.V. Let's do this.
Whoo. Sorry, brother.
Can we get some more juice | For Big I.V.?
Hey, guys, I brought us | some friends from the media.
So if anybody is not where | they're supposed to be...
or with somebody they're | not supposed to be with...
or got a little crust in their eyes, | you might want to get up right now.
You can't bring news cameras | into the boardroom.
Hey, relax. | We got nothing to hide.
If there's not enough seats, | you can just sit on somebody's lap,
unless the person next to you | don't got a lap.
So, what's up?
Mr. Wellington, | At your hospital in Kentucky,
a teenager with a bullet wound to | his head was sent to another hospital...
15miles away, dying en route.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. | Hospitals don't kill people.
- People kill people. | - What kind of cold-ass sh*t is that?
We can't be sendin' people out | with bullet wounds to their head.
That's somethin' you definitely | have to take serious.
From now on, | we got a new slogan.
"Shot in the head, | you get a bed. " Okay?
"If your head is bloody,
I want bullet wounds in this place | to be treated like cash-
accepted everywhere.
But not without | adequate insurance.
"Not without adequate insurance. "
When you pay for insurance, | do you feel assured?
They shouldn't even | Call it insurance.
They should just call it | "in case sh*t. "
I give a company some money | in case sh*t happens.
Now, if sh*t don't happen, | shouldn't I get my money back?
Wouldn't that be fair?
If I had known y'all was gonna keep the | money, I would've got in an accident.
And if you're gonna | take my money,
at least spend the money | on some poor, sick people.
Don't take my money | and buy a Mercedes-Benz...
and park it in front | of Brooklyn Hospital...
with all these broke people | gotta walk by it.
I just got off the B-44 bus, and I | got to look at your Mercedes-Benz?
I should just stab the tire!
And why do doctors cost so much?
Do you know? | Shut the hell up!
It's like doctors chargin' all | this money for a triple bypass surgery.
Triple bypass surgery | gonna charge somebody $100,000...
and then got the nerve to say, | "Take it easy. "
Sh*t, I gotta go get a job right now | drivin' another cab or somethin'...
just to pay off | the damn doctor!
From now on, | we have to be different.
Let's see how it feels to not be | the evil corporation anymore.
Let's try takin' in people bleedin' | with bullet wounds to the head.
Let's just try it for a change.
I mean, we tried the other way. | We made a lot of money.
We got paid. We got laid.
And so what if we lose | a few million dollars?
Now, a lot of y'all | Look pretty pissed off.
Look like y'all | want to get froggy.
Well, come on!
What you gonna do? Uh-uh.
You see this foot? | You see this foot?
It's from a little town called "Rich | Man's Ass," and it's gettin' homesick.
You guys have been great. | You've been a lovely audience.
I want to thank y'all | for showin' up.
Drive home safely. | Tip your waitresses.
I gots to go. Take care.
- Thanks a lot. Thank you. | - Mr. Wellington?
Pardon me. Nice shirt.
Hey, Chuck.
Look, I-I-I feel like | I haven't been tending to your needs,
but I wanna | make it up to you.
I know your biggest fantasy has | always been a menage a trois.
And you've always had a thing | For Blanche from the club.
Hi, Chuck.
How'd you like to come over here | and taste me?
Oh, sir, the, uh, | Handcuff lady's here.
Sontee?
Mr. Wellington.
Descending from second floor.
You know what? | Just call me Lance.
I thought your name was Charles.
Yeah, but Charles | is short for Lance.
Charles is a maiden name.
Okay, Lance.
Uh, I just came to say I'm sorry.
I know I said a lot of bad things | about you, but you kept brushing me off.
Ifyou meant all those things you said | at the board meeting- It was so great.
Are you hungry? I'm sorry | To jump in, but are you hungry?
You gotta be hungry. | You've been workin' all day.
I know you were out there marchin', | and you got your picket sign,
and Al Sharpton's there, | and he ate all the food.
- You wanna get somethin' to eat? | - Uh, no.
- I don't think I should. | - Come on.
I'm not tryin' to impress you.
I swear, I am not | tryin' to impress you.
I- I just want to feed you.
That's all. | We don't even have to drive.
We can walk. We can skip. | You wanna skip to a meal?
I guess I am hungry.
Come on. Let's go.
What's the matter? | You don't like this place?
- No, I am just surprised. | - What?
- I didn't always have money. | - Yeah, right.
You know how you visit | people in the hospital?
I used to go to store windows | and visit clothes I had on layaway.
"Used to"? I was just visitin' | a pair of shoes last week.
I remember this one time, I put a coat | on layaway in, I don't know, September.
I figured I'd get it out | in the winter.
Money got low. Couldn't get | the damn thing out till June.
So what'd you do? | Wait till next winter to wear it?
For a coat I just paid for? Please. | I wore that coat the whole summer.
July 4th, I was on the beach | with a goose down and a pair of shorts.
- Stop playin'. | - I'm not playin'.
Sweatin'. Just drown- | Just drippin' sweat. Slippin'.
To this day, when I want to lose | some weight, I just put on a hot coat.
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop, drop
Shut 'em down | Open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop, drop
Shut 'em down | Open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Ruff Ryders roll | Niggas wanna try
- Niggas wanna lie, niggas wonder why | - What, what
Niggas wanna die | All I feel is pain
- All I feel is rain | - What
- How can I maintain | - What, what
I resort to violence | My niggas move in silence
- Like you don't know our style | - What
- Yo, dog. | - What
Took it, then we split it
- Are you okay? | - Yeah, I'm okay.
- Hey! | - Have you lost your mind?
- I forgot who I was. | - You forgot who you were?
I just like the song. | DMX. "Ruff Ryders. "
What if I was singing, | "Whities wanna die, Whities can't try"?
Might get a record deal.
You know, I don't believe you. | You're somethin' else.
I didn't know what to expect, | but I didn't expect this.
There's somethin' | About your eyes.
When I look at you, it's like | I see somebody else inside you.
You know, even when I was | tryin' to be mad at you,
I just can't help | but see somethin' else.
Sounds crazy, huh?
No, it's- it's not crazy.
It's- It's not crazy.
- Some date, huh? | - Date?
Oh, I thought you were | just tryin' to feed me.
I was till I got | my ass whopped.
That guy punched me like | I owed him child support.
I picture that I | can read your mind
Tell you everything is going good
See, I been waitin' | All my life
For someone just like you
And I know | you've been waiting too
