It was a disaster.

Goddamn disaster.

I hear elephants can

be very, very violent.

Plus--Did you know something?

They're pregnant for 2 years.

2 Years. Can you imagine that?

Then the baby elephant

comes out--

Has this really

bristly hair.

Turn over.

Stacy, honey,

My whole career's

Going down the toilet,

And you're talking

About pregnant elephants?

Aw, monkey man,

you're full of stress.

There's a point right here

in your hand

That if I squeeze--

Close your eyes.

This isn't going to hurt.

Ha!

Does that feel better?

That's better, isn't it?

Ow.

Turn over again.

Ooh!

You know something?

If you did lose your business,

You could always take the time

To explore your artistic side.

Like I always thought

you had the hands

Of somebody who could be a surgeon

Or play the violin or something.

But Stacy, honey--

I know what

you're going to say.

Nobody listens

to the violin anymore.

And that's true,

but you could make them do it

By playing it

in a whole new way,

Like, for example,

more bluesy, perhaps,

Or... Rap!

Rap! Rap!

Rap even!

You could do it

Like a--Oh.

Oh, sorry.

I--Oh.

Your head hurts, doesn't it?

Do you want me to, um,

Maybe sing you a song or something?

Ok.

No. No, please don't.

It's a very nice song.

Music can be so healing.

This is the song.

Ohh.

What's going on?

No, hold on a second.

Wait. Stop! I can explain.

I'm so glad you're here!

Are they

Repossessing everything?

No! Everything's selling.

It was that whole Tiny thing

that went big.

You're a smash.

Bobby, get over here.

What's happening?

Money! Money!

We're making money!

Sign this. It's beautiful.

They're just flying out of here.

Hey, boss! Hey. Hey. Hey.

It's like you always said,

We got a better product.

If we can get them into the door,

They'll buy it.

It's you and that elephant lady.

You're on every news

broadcast in the city.

You're a hit, cowboy!

You're a hit!

Where's the lady?

Where's Tiny?

Who? Oh, the elephant.

Drowned, I guess.

I'm sorry, little girl.

I didn't mean that.

I'm just kidding.

Uh, carry on.

Well, hello, ladies.

Look at you all.

Over here!

Over here! Please!

I'll be damned!

Yes!

Let me

just show you this truck.

This truck was made for love.

Look at the size of this cab.

You can give birth in this cab

And when you do it,

You can listen to the radio.

Am, fm, uhf, vhf...

So what time are you done?

Well, I teach until 10:00.

You have dinner plans, don't you?

Oh, yeah. We're all

going out and celebrating.

Good night, boss.

Good night, Bobby.

Unbelievable day.

We damn near sold

every car on the lot.

Mmm.

Oh, that's nice.

All right.

I'll see you later.

Ok.

Good-Bye, baby.

Hi.

Hi.

Mmm. Good.

You have very strong hands.

Thanks.

Whoa.

Get out of here. It's late.

I'm going.

Boy, I'll tell you, huh?

Perfect night for a celebration.

Sure is.

Night.

Good night.

Jamaica, mon, this close.

Night, chief.

Whew!

Hey, Jose!

They wiped us out.

Whew! I'm telling you.

Stripped us clean.

Yeah.

So, what are you gonna do?

You gonna celebrate?

Oh, sort of.

Tonight's my poker night.

You got any plans?

Yeah. I'm covered.

I'll see you, man.

All right. Good night,

Good night.

And what a night!

Hell of a night.

Hey, mrs. Mathews,

Um, I'm a little concerned.

What do we actually know

About this guy Zora's

going out with tonight?

Didn't you check him out

Or whatever parents

are supposed to do?

Why are you still here?

Don't you have any dignity?

You need to go home.

Get the door.

Oh, my God!

Hey, this is worse than I thought.

What is?

'Scuse me.

Oh, no, you don't, miss thing.

You better go put on a jacket.

No, you don't, miss thing.

You better go put on a jacket.

You better shut up.

Ma, will you get him out of here

Before I kill him?

Somebody get the door.

Oh, this is how it is?

Is this how we living?

Ok. No, that's fine.

You can go and flaunt your fun bags

Any way you please.

I just got one thing

To say to y'all, ok?

Funbag flaunting

Only leads to trouble.

Get the door.

Just remember I said it, all right?

Yo, it's a white man at the door.

Am I interrupting something?

No. Um...

How are you?

I'm ok.

I brought something

for you and your mother.

Why?

Ma.

I'm not really sure.

There you go.

I'm not good at,

you know, receiving,

And so I don't want

you to think

That I don't like it.

Which in your language

means thank you.

Yes.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

"The world is waiting for you,

"And here are a few maps

In case you get lost along the way.

Hal."

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, yeah.

Well, I guess I ought to be going.

I'll walk you out.

Hey, be cool, man.

Yeah. Thank you very much.

That was a really nice thing

you did.

She's thrilled.

Thank you.

So, are we getting along now?

Come on, what does that mean?

I'm not sure. I'm just checking.

Hey, Diego, what are you doing here?

Me, boss? What are you doing here?

Hi. I'm--

I'm Zora's mother.

Hi. I'm Diego.

Very nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Behave yourself.

Hi.

Wow.

Oh, thank you.

Shall we?

Yes.

Bye.

You look great.

And so do you.

She's wearing that?

That's exactly what I've been sayin'!

Thank you.

Hey, Diego, you have

her back here by--

She got a curfew or something?

Tell him by midnight.

Have her back here by midnight!

Yeah.

Have a good time, you two.

I Hope you like to dance.

Oh, I love to dance.

Bye, now.

Do you know him?

Yeah, yeah.

He works for me.

So if anything happens--

I'll fire his ass.

Ok.

So, what's up, baby?

You want to slide out for a minute?

Well, no, I really shouldn't.

Come on, baby.

We'll go see a movie or something.

Well, I'm just not really ready

For a commitment.

I just want to take you out.

I said no!

B*tch!

Yo' motha!

Well--Ha ha.

You probably have plans

For the evening.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm gonna...

Go out and grab something.

What are you gonna grab?

Eat. I want to eat.

If you don't have any plans,

You can come along.

Do you want me to come?

Yeah.

I think I do.

Ok. Well, then,

I don't have any plans.

You know something?

You could have said that

right off the bat.

Yeah, but you could've

just asked me to dinner.

I have to go change.

Hey, where's the, uh...

Where's the rice and the noodles

And the fella that flips the shrimp

Into his hat?

I shouldn't have ever let you order.

Half this stuff still looks alive.

That's the whole idea.

You know what?

When she was 7,

I gave her one of those

Suzy homemaker oven things.

They come with mixes.

You're supposed to make stuff.

Not her.

She was not interested.

All she wanted to do

Was melt stuff in the oven.

She gets that from me.

I only use my oven

to dry my sneakers.

I believe that.

Hmm. Hmm. What the hell.

No! No!

Uh-Oh.

Oh, sh*t.

No, you're not supposed

to eat it like that.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

You know, Jackson--

I'll buy you another one.

This is ours.

Here. Drink this.

Are you ok?

Oh, sh*t.

I just--
