King's Ransom Page #2

Where were you

when they canceled...

all of your credit cards?

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha.

Laugh all you want to now...

but we'll see who's laughing

after the divorce...

because my lawyer assured me

that l will be getting...

a very lucrative

divorce settlement--

very lucrative.

At least half, maybe more.

And just like sex with you

after two minutes...

this conversation is over.

Ah!

Uh-oh.

l know he's gonna

try something slick...

to get out of paying me.

Don't you have some work to do?

l'm...

finished with the pool.

l wasn't talking about...

the pool.

You must think that l have

very poor eyesight, Counselor.

Your list of marital assets

has several glaring omissions...

most notably,

King Enterprises.

And its holdings.

For the one hundredth time,

Anita...

King Enterprises Limited...

is the sole ownership

of Malcolm King...

and l will not--

we will not stand by...

and watch it be broken up

out of spite.

-Your food's here.

-Oh, thank you.

Oh, let me guess--

kung pao chicken

without vegetables...

not too spicy,

all white meat...

with extra fortune cookies.

He gets the same thing

all of the time.

Bo...ring.

Can we offer

you ladies anything?

No, thank you.

l'm not hungry.

Oh, hell.

Why don't l just take half

of Malcolm's food anyway?

Note that.

Look, Counselor,

Renee has been with Malcolm...

since the very beginning

of King Enterprises...

and deserves a half a share

of the company.

-What?

-Hell, l deserve all of it.

-You said so yourself.

-When?

Find that little thing.

Please.

Ah, here is it.

''My dearest Renee...

''everything l have built,

l built for you.

''Love always, Malcolm.''

Ooh. Poetry.

lt's a greeting card, man.

l was drunk when l wrote it...

and she was butt-naked

on the floor. What?

We are seeking

the primary residence...

as well as

one of the vacation homes.

l've already gone ahead and

had the lake house appraised.

The details are inside.

Now, as far as

preliminary meetings go...

it wasn't so bad.

l need that money, Anita.

This hair does not grow

on trees.

Hello?

Hi. Hi, Mrs. King.

Looks like we're gonna have

to do this the hard way.

You know, l'm just gonna

call you Renee.

No, you won't.

What?

Well, this is disastrous.

What's wrong?

Another divorce case that l've

been working on for months...

but my client

neglected to tell me...

that she has been having

an affair.

Mm-hmm.

And guess what?

The judge found out.

l sure hope

the sex was worth it...

because she just cost

herself millions.

Ooh.

So, you just gonna let them

waltz outta here like that, huh?

l can't make them

take our offer, Malcolm.

Listen--listen to me.

There is a very real chance...

Renee could walk out of this

with half of King Enterprises.

That--that valentine

was brilliant, man.

David. David!

l will handle it myself.

Malcolm, l know that look.

l know that--

Do not do anything crazy.

Do not.

Thanks for nothing, David.

See yourself out.

Malcolm.

Malcolm.

Malcolm!

One, two, three, shoot.

Sorry.

-Oh.

-Oh, thank you.

-Andre, right?

-Yeah.

Oh, good.

l need to ask you a favor.

Whassup, whassup, whassup?

Oh, well, oh...

l was hoping you could wax this

real good for me...

and try not

to leave any scratches.

Hey, well, you know,

whatever you're into, baby.

So, you're gonna hook me up?

Hell, yes.

Oh! Ha ha ha!

You're so sweet.

Um, l'll call and set up

a time with you later.

And don't worry.

l'll definitely

make it worth your while.

Oh. Mwah.

Thank you.

Hee hee hee hee!

Keys, keys.

Oh!

l forgot.

Yo!

-Oh, Andre?

-Yes.

Are my stripes crooked?

9:
15.

Oh! Thank you.

Whoo! Ha ha ha ha!

Somebody park the car.

Good morning, Miss Gladys.

Good morning.

Oh, you made the front page.

What?

Mm-hmm.

That little punk.

He told me

this wasn't supposed to run...

until a week from Sunday.

This is just gonna give

Renee more ammo...

and my black ass is the target.

Malcolm King.

Cha-ching, cha-ching,

cha-ching.

Good-bye.

Heh heh heh heh.

Ohh.

Oh, my God. What'd she say?

Oh, my God!

Malcolm, Malcolm, stop that!

Malcolm!

Pull yourself together now.

Straighten up.

l'll be in my office.

Be the burger.

What's up, bro?

Get a real job!

Think fast.

Corey, buddy.

Mind if l join you?

You know, son,

they say with great power...

comes great responsibility.

Oh, sure, everyone thinks being

shift manager is all glory.

And it is.

But there are also times...

when l'm forced to make

the tough calls...

times like these.

You're firing me?

Yeah, l'm firing you.

You see, your energy level is

just not where it used to be...

and as the team leader...

l need everyone to be

really into their jobs.

Take Pablo here.

Now, here's a guy...

that's taking the world

by the buns, you know?

Right, Pablo?

Because you're no longer

an employee here...

l can't comp your shift meal.

Hey, Pablo, you're up.

Be the burger.

All right, everyone,

back to work.

Let's go. Come on.

Keep it rolling.

l have a very important

announcement to make.

As all of you know,

for the past few months...

Angela Drake has stood in...

as acting vice-president

of marketing...

while l've had to decide...

who's going to fill

that position permanently.

Well...

as of today

she's no longer acting.

Mmm!

My recipe

for a successful company?

Use the best ingredients.

Hire the best people

for the job...

and allow them to do

what they do best.

This woman has continually

helped me rise to the occasion.

Ladies and gentlemen...

our new vice-president

of marketing...

Miss...

Angela, could you step

to the side, please?

What?

Step to the side, please.

Please.

Miss Peaches Clarke.

Round of applause, everyone.

Miss Peaches Clarke.

Me?

Oh!

Congratulations.

You deserve it.

Oh, you guys! This is amazing!

Why are you clapping?

Stop clapping.

Sit down!

This is totally ridiculous!

You're out of your mind!

l can't believe this!

-Peaches? What?

-Angela--

You have lost your mind.

-What?

-Peaches?

What kind of name is Peaches?

lt's a bushel of fruit.

Angela, you need to calm down.

What seems to be the problem?

Me, 10 years.

ls there something

you'd like to say?

Peaches? l can't believe--

Yes, Mr. King, l got--

l got something to say.

Yeah. l have a recipe for you.

OK? lt's called

And you know what

the ingredients are? Huh?

lt's your crusty lips...

and my black ass.

-Damn.

-Oh, my goodness.

There is something else

l'd like to say.

l quit!

Well, somebody must be

on their rag today.

Oh, l'm early! l--l--

Oh, no, no, no. No, baby.

Let's go to my office...

into $15 million.

You can help me do that,

And l know you could do it,

because you're a genius.

l inspire people a lot.
