Last Holiday

Hold it, hold it, hold it. Georgia.

Sister Abernathy is singing

three times as loud as you...

and she just had her tonsils out, sugar.

- How you gonna account for that?

- I'm sorry, Reverend, I thought I was.

It's all right, baby. It's all right.

Now, as an incentive for us all

to be in full voice...

on Sunday, our very own

Senator Dillings will be here...

to help us kick off our Community

Redevelopment Program. Amen.

Amen!

Hi, ma'am.

Okay.

Okay, here we go.

Domino, Lean Cuisine.

You take the paper towel, right?

Oh, and mayonnaise.

That's it.

- That's it?

- Yes.

- Hey, little mama, that pretty.

- Check it out, man. Yeah.

Let me holla at you for a sec.

Don't you got no time for nobody?

Hey, Miss Byrd.

Hey. Any problems with the car today?

Some gunshots.

Nobody mess with the car, though.

Okay, Darius, so you come by

in exactly 75 minutes and I'll be ready.

Yes, ma'am. Me, too.

Yeah! Welcome back!

Welcome back to Emeril Live!

Emeril Lagasse here. We're

making chicken four ways tonight.

Wait till you see this dish

that I got coming up right now for you.

Poulet Tchoupitoulas.

Poulet Tchoupitoulas.

Oh, yeah, baby!

You can't see this at home,

but he is happy, this chicken.

He's clapping for Doc Gibbs

and the Emeril Live Band!

He's just... Oh, yeah.

You gotta split him in half...

and then we're gonna make

what I call a paste.

This chicken, skin-side down...

Skin-side down.

Now, for this Poulet Tchoupitoulas...

maybe some of this fum blanc

would work.

So, a little splash like this. Okay?

Or a big splash!

Like that!

Bread pudding with onions,

with sweet corn, and andouille sausage.

Okay? Oh, yeah.

'Cause the Poulet Tchoupitoulas with

the bread pudding.

Bam!

Look at that! That's looking good!

I don't suppose you're gonna have any?

Lord, no.

I don't eat nothing but my Lean Cuisine.

What is that book, anyway?

- How do you like them greens?

- Oh, man, it's the bomb!

Well, good.

I mixed them this time, you know.

Collard greens...

and of course, your favorite,

turnip greens.

- And I got plenty for your grandpa.

- Cool, thanks.

Sugar!

I just got these pants.

Always doing this.

Darius, what are you doing?

That is my private property.

- I was just looking. What is it?

- It's nothing.

It's just what it says, just possibilities.

Just things I'm interested in.

Including this guy?

- He your boyfriend?

- No.

He's just an idea.

I mean, he's a real guy...

Why are you snooping around

my stuff, anyway?

So, what's his name?

Who?

None of your business.

I'll tell you what his name is.

His name is lucky mother...

What?

I know you might as well

go ahead leave my house now...

if you're gonna be using

that kind of language.

I'm sorry,

but short of you telling me his name...

I don't know anything better to call him.

His name is Sean.

- Sean Williams.

- Sean Williams, huh?

And you better not say anything

to anybody.

I ain't.

There he is, there he is.

Okay, I'm not gonna say anything.

- You just talk to him.

- No, I'm not going to talk to him.

...just to say hello. All right?

Go and talk to him. Stop him.

- Good morning, Miss Byrd.

- Mr. Williams.

What was that? Was that power flirting?

I don't know.

Oh, my, my, my.

You could crack a walnut with that ass.

Girl, stop!

Don't you have somewhere to be?

You know what we need to do?

We need to get you out of these

frumpy clothes and into something...

- that shows off the real estate a little bit.

- No. Rochelle! This is a workplace.

Seriously. Then you need

to go down there...

and you need to talk to Mr. Big Stuff...

and you need to tell him

what you want for Christmas.

- You just sit in his lap...

- Hey! Rochelle, come on, now.

What? No...

What are you worried about?

That they're going to fire you

in this place?

Take your coffee and go!

You're the best damn worker they got

in this whole damn place.

They're not gonna fire you.

You're just scared.

You're scared of some man

getting a hold of all that booty of yours!

Would you stop?

He could hold my booty.

Sean!

Attention Kragen shoppers...

stop in our health clinic

on the second floor...

to make sure your holidays...

Right. This piece goes here.

There we go.

It's still crooked, but, yeah, that's good.

- It's good, huh?

- No, no, no.

"Lip of shelf to fit

between grill bottom and leg brace."

That was supposed to be put on last,

but that's all right.

Thank you.

- Miss Byrd.

- Georgia.

You had some light bulbs to change

or something, remember?

Yeah! Oh, yeah, yeah, light bulbs.

Light bulbs.

You know, they be relying on me...

Hey, I'll see you later.

Yeah. Sure. Yeah.

Is there something I can help you with?

That's quite a nice grill.

- Stainless steel, huh?

- Yeah. Durable.

- Easy to clean?

- You just hose it down.

Just hose it down, huh?

- Are you on your break?

- Yes.

Well, that's why I'm here.

I wanted to ask you something.

Ask me what?

Do you think I'll get my store discount

if I buy this thing?

Well, of course.

Of course you get your store discount.

But I just sold you a grill last week,

remember?

Yeah. But that was a hibachi.

That was for traveling.

I think somebody should've told you

when you got this thing...

that you're supposed to have a lawn

or a backyard or something.

Okay, how about a little more lifting

and a little less talking?

That looks good. Smells good, too.

All right, there you have it.

A simple Creole roasted duck hash

en crote.

Now, what you can do with this here...

is you can take a little bit

of the parsley...

and onion if you like,

if that's what you like.

But here's what I like to do.

Now, this is only for the brave ones.

For those

who don't get a lot of heartburn.

I like to kick some of that hot sauce

on there, spice it up something.

Please, come on and enjoy some.

Excuse me.

Now, I made this special for you.

I left the pine nuts out...

'cause I know they get up

under your bridgework sometimes.

Aren't you sweet?

- Thank you.

- Excuse me.

Are you bucking for General

of the Salvation Army or what?

Stop feeding the moochers.

We always have...

our Wednesday morning

sales demonstration, Mr. Adamian.

No, no.

That's exactly the kind of thinking...

that put this store in Chapter 11

in the first place.

Now, Mr. Kragen, he's trying

to change the culture around here.

And by culture, I mean money.

Now, if you care about

your future here...

I suggest

you get with the program, Miss Byrd.

Have you read this? Kragen's awesome.

- Everybody got one.

- Read it again.

Yeah. Yup?

Yup. Yup.

Well, then, hire another Santa.

Of course, he has to be fat.

Attention Kragen shoppers...

today's pre-Christmas sales

are on the second level.

Georgia. I'm sorry,

I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

No. I'm sorry.

I'm kind of in my own little world

up here.

What brings you to cookware?

It's that smell, to tell you the truth.

I can't help it.

It wafts down the escalator,
