All right, I'm gonna get Tony

and we're gonna get out of here.

Hi. You feeling better?

Yeah, I feel all right.

I took some more aspirin.

That's great, cos I've got something

really terrific to show you.

Chris, can we cool it tonight, baby?

What's happened to my lover man?

What's the problem?

Christella, please, huh?

Not tonight, huh?

I've got a lot on my mind tonight.

Hey.

You sure everything's OK?

Yeah, I'm sure, baby.

Let's just go to sleep, OK?

Uh-huh.

'Oh, God!'

Something on your mind, man?

Hey!

Hmm? No, man.

You come in here

and say you gotta talk to me,

then you just sit there

staring into space.

- You got something on your mind?

- Nothing, man.

- Everything's fine. Nothing on my mind.

- You're fine, huh?

How come you put sugar in your coffee

without taking it out of the package?

- Aw, sh*t.

- Mm-hmm.

Now you tell me

ain't nothing on your mind.

I don't take sugar in my coffee.

Hey, man,

I'm your best friend.

You can tell me.

Now what's jamming you up?

- I don't know.

- What you mean, you don't know?

Lately I've been getting

these headaches, you know.

I mean, like, all the time, Tony.

They just come on me like that,

for about a week now.

I'm turning into an aspirin junkie.

Oh, man, sounds like tension to me.

Hey, you got a heavy load at school

and you're driving that cab in between.

Now that's bound to get to you.

Maybe I got high blood pressure

or, uh, or that, uh, hyper...

- Hypertension.

- Tension.

Yeah.

Maybe I ought to see a doctor.

Well, look, there's a brother here

named Dr. Caldwell.

I'll ask him to check you out.

But I bet you he tells you

the same thing I'm saying to you.

Man, you're working too hard.

Call him, OK?

Say, Ike.

You want that strawberry cream pie?

Hmm?

- Ike.

- Hmm?

Where did you get this?

Oh, a little old second-hand shop

over on, uh... You like it?

Oh, sure, but what are you

gonna do with it?

I mean it's not exactly you,

if you know what I mean.

I'm sorry.

It's cool.

You're perfectly healthy. You don't have

hypertension or high blood pressure.

As for those headaches,

they're probably emotional.

All I can recommend is that you lay back

on the studies a bit and on the job.

Maybe meditate.

Smoke some weed.

And if the headaches come back,

you come back and we'll check further.

But I don't think

there's any problem.

Nothing physical...

Ike, don't let that mind of yours

play tricks on you.

You're a perfectly normal young man

who's burning the candle

at both ends, that's all.

It don't go down that way

and she knows it,

and she's messing with me,

and no one messes with Enoch Land.

You hear me?

You tell Doris what I said.

You tell that b*tch

I say she better straighten up,

or I'm gonna go over personally

and get into it with her. You dig it?

Homeboy! Homeboy!

Hey.

- Kiss my ass.

- Hey...

- Long time no see, blood.

- Enoch, how's it been, man?

All right.

Hey, look, uh... you still

into a lot of things, ain't you?

You know,

a man's gotta make a living.

Er, what brings you down, blood?

Maybe you got someplace

we can go and talk.

Yeah, step into my office.

Don't tell me,

don't tell me, young blood,

you decided to steer johns?

Man, with your cabs and my ladies,

we could clean up.

And it's a percentage game, you know.

You get a good piece of the action.

No, no, Enoch,

ain't nothing like that, man.

Uh... I just want to put some money

on a number, that's all.

Look a-here, look a-here.

My man decided to get down.

Man, do you know I've been wanting you

to play for over a year now?

You know, uh... a dollar.

Mm-hmm.

Yes, sir.

Good doing business with you, blood.

You know it ain't steering,

but the numbers is a good start.

Uh, what you want?

Oh, uh...

- 141.

- Mm-hmm.

Like I said, blood,

good pleasure doing business with you.

Yes, sir. What you say? Ha-ha!

A- ha. Here's a good one.

"Review boards are generally called upon

to act in cases involving what?"

Uh, cases...

Cases that appeal

to a lower court that, uh...

Is Daddy doing you good?

Hey! Ike! Ike?

Isaac, you in there?

Uh...

Sure. Yeah.

Listen...

- Baby, my head is killing me.

- Oh.

Ooh, your neck is as hard as a rock.

I better take some aspirin.

What you need is a little wine

to kind of loosen you up

and get rid of all that tension.

Ike!

How you doing, baby?

You should get some sleep

and you'll feel better in the morning.

Hello! Hey, what happened

to your headache?

It's gone.

Oh, great.

Hey.

Oh, that's nice.

Take you on a long ride, girl.

Let me take you down, baby.

Hey... Aargh!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Daddy ain't gonna hurt you, baby.

Oh, God!

Daddy's doing you good, baby.

Oh, yeah, oh, yes!

- Yes?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Don't stop now. Man, come on.

God.

Come on, now.

Don't stop.

Daddy's doing you good!

Oh, God!

Shh.

Shh.

'Champion of God,

the Reverend Elija Bliss.'

- 'Satan, whose wife is an evil spirit...'

- 'Yeah!'

'...is dark and engulfs all of us

with his wicked ways.

'He is the prince of darkness!

'We must not let Satan

come into our house.'

What are you trying to do? Stop!

Stop it! Stop it!

What are you trying to do?

Stop!

Will you stop?

Oh, please!

Help me!

Oh, my God!

Please, please!

Come on, get the f*** on

out of my goddamn car!

- Don't kill me.

- Kill you? B*tch, get off of me.

What the f*** is wrong with you?

Is you crazy? Ha!

J. D. Walker, the Ace! Hey!

'Honey,

what kind of dressing do you want?'

- Roquefort.

- Huh?

Roquefort.

You wanna cut down on your hours

until exams are over?

Hendricks, do you realize

how shorthanded I am?

Three guys quit on me

in the last two months.

Gasoline has gone up 2 cents a gallon.

Look, Ralph, I didn't mean to cause you

any problems, I just thought...

Problems?

You don't know the half of it! Problems...

Insurance is going up this month,

this place is falling to pieces,

and to top it off,

the cops came by.

Seems this woman is laid up

in the hospital.

She claims that one of the drivers

roughed her up,

beat her up in one of my cabs.

All she can remember

is that it was a black guy.

Well, I got thirty guys working for me

that fit that description,

but that'll make the insurance

premiums go up, sure as hell.

The body shop called

saying I owe money on three cabs

that they fixed in one month.

'Everybody say amen.'

'Amen!'

'Everybody say amen!'

'Amen!'

'Everybody say amen!'

'Murderer! Murderer!'

Murderer!

'We must be vigilant!

We must be watchful!'

We must not let Satan

come into our house!

I got to get more comfortable

because I feel the spirit in this house.

I feel the spirit in this house now!

Can you feel it?

I can feel it!

I can feel it! Ha-ha!

I can feel it!

It starts in my head!

And it starts to move on

down to my stomach!

And it makes me feel all good inside!

It fills that void!

That empty space

right here in my gut!

I say the spirit, yeah,

the spirit does that!

We all can feel a part of that joy!
