Original Kings of Comedy Page #7

Synopsis: February 26 and 27, 2000, the Original Kings of Comedy play Charlotte, NC. The themes are Blacks and Whites, men and women, old-school and hip-hop. Steve Harvey emcees, celebrates '70s music and lyrics of love, and pokes at folks in the front row. D.L. Hughley mines racial differences and talks about his marriage. Cedric the Entertainer riffs on a Black president and on being grown up. Bernie Mac, who says he expresses what's in the back of our minds, closes with reflections on being 42 (new aspects to his sex life and his attitude toward children). Spike Lee's camera takes us backstage and off-stage with the Kings and into the crowd where everyone's laughing.

I ordered it, mutton stew.

How come it is here so quick?

Is it well done?

Ask the cook for that, $39.8 please!

- I'll pay.

- No need.

Why not? Let me pay.

- I've said I'll pay.

- It's alright.

I will pay.

You pay next time, it's my bill.

No... don't do that.

Let me treat you this time!

Just $40

and you two push around and around.

Why don't you pay by credit card,

a**hole!

What did you say, bastard?

Don't move, either you pay now

or I'll take it back.

Or I'll pay for you.

What are you doing?

I've said many times,

why don't you walk closer?

Walk closer and shoot him from the top.

Then blood won't splash on the wall.

You never listen to me.

Can't you be a professional?

But delivery boys

are very rude these days.

They are always like this.

Let's eat.

Who is it?

I'm here to deliver some food.

Go and take a look, Chu...

How are you,

I'm here to delivery some food.

OK.

Steamed rice with tomato and egg,

$25.5 please.

You ordered that?

No, I haven't.

You haven't ordered?

Have you come to the wrong place?

- No. 7.

- No. 7?

It's No. 1, send it to No. 1.

Do you still want it?

Are you out of your mind,

I didn't order it.

Rice with tomato and egg?

What do you mean? Are you nuts, Go away.

You want rice with tomato and egg,

I'll take it.

No, someone else ordered it.

I said I want it, come here.

Come here!

Can you give it to us first?

What a coincidence! No. 1 also

ordered rice with tomato and egg.

Is tomato and egg good?

The egg and tomato are both nutritious.

What do you mean nutritious?

It contains a lot of Vitamin C.

Other fruits contain that too.

Other fruits don't contain

as much as tomato.

You don't want the money?

$25.5 please.

How come it's so expensive?

- It's one and a half order.

- How much for one order?

$36.8.

How come it is more expensive?

It's 12.2 for one order.

And how much for one and a half order?

$36.8.

You just said $25.5.

It's $25.5.

What was served

for breakfast this morning?

What?

What was served

for breakfast this morning?

Ham and egg.

How much is it?

$12.2.

How much if I want one and a half order?

$25.5.

How come there is

one and a half order for breakfast?

You can order two extra sausages.

How much if I want 3 extra sausages?

Don't do that.

How much is it?

I'm only a delivery boy.

I ask you how much it is.

I don't know.

How much?

I'm really a delivery boy!

You are not!

Kid, tell us frankly,

are you a delivery boy?

- I've just started work today!

- Just started work today?

I didn't know being delivery boy

must answer so many questions.

Don't f***ing fool me?

What are you doing? Are you a cop?

Yes, what's wrong?

I'm really a delivery boy.

Nothing... he's an idiot.

Search him if you don't believe.

Search him!

Kid, I let you go now,

be smart in future!

What is it?

Why did you do this?

What do you want?

What is it?

Want to harm me?

Sorry, I'm an undercover.

Cut.

How's that?

I'm fine, I'm still alive.

I mean my performance.

Very well, as this is your first time

being the leading actor.

Good take.

Thanks.

I'll call to police.

- Police!

- Freeze!

He's on my side...

Call the ambulance!

Piu Piu.

What's going on? It's dark already,

and you didn't give me a call?

- Shall I cook dinner for you?

- Just then I...

What's happen to you?

Didn't you play as the leading actor?

I don't care whether

you're a leading actor or an extra.

You must support my living forever.

Come on, try it

and see if it suits or not.

Red? Is it lipstick?

You're dating someone else?

I forgive you but...

I won't cook for you

if you dare next time, go!

What are you looking at?

Fight back, nuts!

Piu Piu, I love you.

Wait

You two mustn't get married!

Why?

Because you guys are brother and sister.

Sister, I'm sorry.

It's not your business,

I'm willing myself.

Your mood is wrong for this situation.

I've told you before.

Mood begins from your heart,

then goes to the outside of your body...

and returns to the heart, got it?

- Yes, got it.

- Don't be nervous.

I'm not nervous.

Sau, I think

the role of Master suits you more.

Why don't you play it?

Forget it, I'm not talented in acting.

I'd better be audience.

Not at all.

You're good.

Brother Sau,

audience are waiting outside.

- Are they?

- Hurry up.

- Take off your clothes first.

- For what?

I'll play it.

- Oh, no.

- Give it to me.

But you're not talented.

I'm not? Are you talented then?

I am.

Give it to me!

- No.

- Sau, stop fighting.

Stop fighting, eat potato chips,

why fighting for?

There're really many audience.

Sure, as we have special guests today.

Sister Cuckoo comes to help us today.

Thanks, Sister Cuckoo.

You're welcome, we finally have

the chance to act on the same stage.

Thanks!

Kung Hei Fat Choi! Thanks!

Happy New Year.

Congraduation! Everybody cheers up.

Thanks! Kung Hei!
