Foxy Brown

---

What'll it be?

Hey, buddy, you wanna order somethin'?

Hey, man, you wanna order somethin'?

Yeah. Give me a taco.

How you doin'?

- Anything to drink?

- Coffee.

Coffee and a taco.

- Yes, sir?

- Make mine the same.

Say, you got a payphone here?

Yeah, right over there.

Hello.

Foxy? It's Link.

Now, just listen. I gotta talk fast.

I'm in big trouble.

If you're dealing in dope again,

forget it because I'll...

Never mind that. Two big motherfuckers

are waitin' to beat the livin' sh*t out of me

as soon as these two cops finish lunch.

I'm at a taco stand,

corner of Brewster and Church Street.

So hurry up!

Foxy, for Christ's sake, I'm your brother.

You gotta help me. Please!

All right. All right.

When I see you I'll blink my lights, OK?

All right.

- More coffee?

- No, not me, thanks.

Hey, this is good coffee.

This is wonderful coffee.

Best goddamn coffee I ever tasted.

I'll have some more.

How about you?

Check.

Hey, officers, you're not gonna leave

without finishing your coffee?

All that nice, good coffee?

That stuff's expensive.

You shouldn't waste it like that.

Say, you know where I can find

an all-night men's room?

Argh!

Hey!

Agh!

Oh, sh*t! Get off!

Get off the goddamn front.

I can't see where I'm goin'. Sh*t!

All right, I'll get the son of a b*tch off.

Get me off! Get me off of here!

For God's sake, stop!

You're gonna kill us all!

Whoa!

Somebody help me! Help!

Phew! Jesus!

You saved my beautiful black ass.

You really did.

Mm-hm.

And you better have a mighty good reason

why those hoods were after it, too.

Well, practically nothin'.

A lousy two or three days.

Come on, Link. You're not talking to

one of your jive-ass friends.

I'm your sister. Give it to me straight.

I am. Now, listen.

I had to borrow a few bucks

to go into business.

From a loan shark, right?

The Bank of America ain't started

givin' out mortgages on numbers banks.

OK, OK. So what happened?

What do you think the odds are

against 500 people hitting the number

on Martin Luther King's birthday?

- So how much did you go down for?

- A lousy 20 grand or so.

But I woulda had it all back if they'd just

give me a lousy two or three more days.

Oh, Link!

After all you've been through.

When are you gonna learn?

Look, it's a legitimate business.

Well, almost.

But it's better than bein' a paid informer

like that big-shot boyfriend of yours.

And where is he now?

Probably at the bottom of the river

polluting it in a bucket of cement.

Shut up about him, Link!

OK.

But I was doin' fine before, dealin' coke.

And then you came down on me for that.

Oh, all right.

I guess you're gonna have to stay here

until I can think of what to do.

Thanks, baby. And them people

don't know nothin' about you at all.

And that's another thing.

As long as you're under this roof

you gotta promise me to stay away

from them people and outta the rackets.

Foxy, look, I'm a black man.

I don't know how to sing,

I don't know how to dance,

or how to preach to no congregation.

I'm too small to be a football hero

and I'm too ugly to be elected mayor.

But I watch TV and I see all them people

in all them fine homes they live in

and all them nice cars they drive,

and I get all full of ambition.

Now, you tell me what I'm supposed to do

with all this ambition I got.

I don't know, Link.

I just don't wanna see you end up in jail

or shot down in the street somewhere.

Baby, jail is where some of the finest

people I know are these days.

A car came out of nowhere.

Now, what kind of a bullshit story is that?

What car? Who was it?

How should I know? You sent us to take

care of one little punk black-ass dealer.

You said nothin' about his havin' friends.

Eddie, junk dealers don't have friends.

- Did you at least get a look at him?

- It was pretty dark.

- But, I tell ya, it looked like a broad to me.

- A broad?

What do you suppose

these two were smokin'?

You know I don't drink

or smoke or nothin', Mr Elias.

Eddie!

Yes, Miss Katherine.

Of course,

things don't always go smoothly.

Especially when one becomes careless.

I'm sure he won't be so careless again.

No, Miss Katherine. I sure won't.

This man has cost us a lot of money.

D'you know what happens when

we let these people get away with it?

- Yeah, they'll do it again!

- No, stupid.

No, what she means is

the word gets out all over town

and then nothing we say means sh*t!

Huh?

He won't get away with it,

Miss Katherine. I promise.

Good.

You may go now.

Sometimes you have to talk tough

to these people to get 'em to listen to you.

Yes. You're right, Steve.

Kiss me.

Yeah...

Hey, what are you doing?

What does it feel like I'm doing?

Feels like you're doin' just what

you're doin', but I can't handle it this way.

I mean, a little taste of honey ain't enough

for me. I gotta have the whole beehive.

Oh, you're gonna get it, baby,

just as soon as you get the wraps

off that Christmas package.

Well, I got something to tell you.

That's gonna be today.

Hm.

That gives me a funny feeling.

I mean...

I don't know what you look like any more.

Maybe I won't want to.

It'll be like doin' it with a stranger.

Yeah? Well, the part that counts

is still just the same.

I noticed!

It really has been a long time, hasn't it?

- Listen, Foxy.

- Hm?

I'll tell you what.

Let's just pull this curtain closed.

- Like this?

- Yeah.

Both of them.

- I don't think we're supposed to do this.

- No, it's all right.

Now, come on up here...

...like this.

Yeah.

- A little more this way.

- Like this?

Oh, now, really, Mr Anderson!

You know perfectly well that's a no-no.

- Time for your bath, Mr Anderson.

- Oh, sh*t.

Now, Mr Anderson,

we'll have none of that nonsense.

Ooh!

Clean o' body, clean o' mind.

Then a body Jesus'll find.

Easy, now.

Just let me cut this one here.

There's that one.

Just one more here.

There we are. That's it.

There.

So that's it, huh?

It's a good job, Doc.

His own mother wouldn't recognise him.

I like it.

Well, there's the expert's opinion.

What man wouldn't be satisfied with that?

- It won't fall apart if I laugh, will it?

- No.

- Just no fistfights for a few months.

- No way. My fighting days are over.

- I've got other plans from now on.

- Yes, so I noticed.

Something to look forward to.

It's all right if I get out of here for a while,

isn't it? I really need some new scenery.

It's up to your boss.

Just so long as you're back tonight. I can't

check you out officially until tomorrow.

I guess he's gotta try it out

on the street sometime.

Well, you all have some things to talk

about. I'll see you tomorrow, Michael.

I guess this is the time

that you'll be needing these things, Mike.

There's a birth certificate.

Driver's licence, credit cards, social

security numbers, a lot of other things.

And...

You might not wanna keep this,

but I'd like you to read it.

It's from the boss.

From the director of

the Bureau of Narcotics.

He thanks me on behalf of
