The Temptations, he's right here.

Did you see everybody

stand up and go,

"Yes, David!

Yes, David!

You should've seen their faces

when I laid it on 'em.

"I am Mr. Ruffin's manager,

and he ain't goin' on. "

They almost wet their pants.

Otis's face?

Pitiful.

And you ain't even bein'

unreasonable, baby.

Martha Reeves and The Vandellas.

Uh-huh.

- Smokey Robinson and The Miracles.

- Of course not!

- Junior Walker and The All Stars.

- David Ruffin and The--

What's their name?

David's history.

Wait a second.

- You think about this- - Think about it?

Get your stuff together, Mel.

You're flyin' on a big hate.

Look, man.

David is a big pain in the butt.

So he is out.

This ain't the way we do things.

We have to vote.

All right.

I vote he's gone.

I say he stays.

Paul?

Look, I say--

hell, I say he goes.

- Okay? So he's out.

- Mel ain't said.

Go on.

Tell him, Mel.

I ain't so sure, Al.

I mean, this is a big step.

We made the group!

We can't let him break us apart!

I'm not sayin' that he

didn't mess up, right?

But David has always been David.

You know that.

And you know he don't give

a damn about nobody but David.

Finish the damn vote, Mel.

In or out?

David.

I need you to read this, please.

What--

Are you crazy?

I'm sorry.

Y'all is stupid!

David, please.

Get off me! Y'all ain't

nothin' without me!

I made your asses!

You can't fire mel

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Y'all can't do me like this!

You ungrateful son-of-a-b*tches!

higher than ever.

Amen.

So you all ready to kick some butt?

Oh, you damn right.

Dennis Edwards,

our old friend from The Contours,

replaced David Ruffin.

He was a great singer...

And a lot less trouble

than David had been.
