Gave rise to over|33 different phenotypes...

all distinct for reaching their|sexual maturity within two months.

Then we eat them.

Yep.

You know, it's kind of sad.|In order to feed us...

something so young and|in the prime of its life...

has to die.

- Help! Help!|- Keiko!

I'm sorry.

Oh, sh*t!

F***!

- Here you go, Ma.|- You feel better, Bunza Bun?

Getting your hair done always helps|to mend a broken heart.

You're doing the right thing, baby.

We have to preserve our heritage.

You'll tell him after eating.

Better he should have a broken heart|on a full stomach.

Think he's gonna take the money back?

- What're you doing?|- Nothing. How was your outing?

Smells good. Something's cooking.

We're ready to eat when you are.

- Hello?|- This is Crunch.

What's up?|Hold on one second.

- Can you excuse me one second?|- Sure.

- et's go.|- Hello?

Yo, Crunch. What the f*** is goin' on?

Left.

Right here.

This is the place.

I'm gettin' the f*** out of the country,|and you need to do the same. Now!

I went by the office today.

Paris is planning a big hit.

Yo, n*gger! I said it should have|some lanolin in it.

Not some goddamn aloe vera bullshit.|Motherf***er!

Get it straight.

Seems like some motherfuckers done gone|and kidnapped Paris' goddaughter.

Some Japanese b*tch. Our Japanese b*tch.|See what I'm saying?

Look, you've got to let him have it|point blank.

It's over. Kaput. That's it!

But, Ma, that seems very harsh.

Cisco's trying to save himself.

He's after all of us.

He got Gump.

My advice.

Gef the f*** ouf of Dodge now,|n*gger.

There's a hif squad coming|for your ass righf now.

Peace. Out.

Sh*t.

Here's your prune juice, darling.

Leave the bottle.

Who's that?

Hello. Is Melvin Smiley here?

We're Melvin's coworkers.|We work in the same office.

Really?

- Is that chicken I smell?|- Have you eaten? - Lunch?

I haven't eaten all day.|Could you eat something?

- Come on.|- You're so gracious. Thank you.

He's a devoted colleague. A man who|works for the betterment of society.

So why does Melvin work on weekends?

He works with the homeless a lot.

He sells computers to the homeless?

You'd be surprised how many|homeless people buy computers.

Oh, really?

- Hello, Melvin.|- Hi, Melvin.

You wanna talk about this outside?

Sit down, Melvin.|I'd like to propose a toast.

To my wife. A lovely woman,|who for the past eight years...

has cost me over $200,000...

in plastic surgery bills.

And what was the end result|of all that surgery?

A 57-year-old woman|with the face...

of a beautiful|25-year-old ape.

- Oh, Morton!|- Shut your pisk!

I'll have you know|that many men...

have found me to be|a ravishing creature.

Don't you think I'm attractive still?

- A ravishing creature?|- Yes. Certainly.

Yeah, sure.

I agree. You're a creature.

Sit down! You're drunk.

To my darling daughter Pamela.

A princess.|My only child.

And the source of constant pride...

to degenerate, manipulative...

gold-digging leeches the world over.

Which leads me|to my would-be son-in-law Melvin...

who's very charming|in a "Rain Man" kind of way.

But obviously not good enough|for some parties.

- I think you better-|- Sit down and shut your pisk.

- Morton, please. Sit down!|- Where was I?

The first thing we do when we meet|this young man is have a big fight.

Then the young man comes to me|like Sidney Poitier...

in "Guess Who's Coming to dinner. "

A fine film, I might add.|And he proclaims...

"I will not marry your daughter|unless I have your blessing. "

To which I say...

"She doesn't deserve you.

You deserve to be in an environment|of tolerance and brotherhood. "

When I see four men|of different races...

colors and creeds, sitting together|at the dinner table...

it fills me with hope.

You four are what this country|is all about.

Oh, gross!|You nasty mother-

It's bonus time,|and guess who's the bonus.

Yo, Mel. You pissed at me, baby?

Backstabbing motherf***er.|We're supposed to be friends.

We're still friends. I just need space.|I still love you, baby.

Yeah, just like you loved Gump, huh?

It's every man for himself, Mel.

Move it out.|Freddy, you're with me.

- Pam?|- Yeah?

- Were you gonna break up with me?|- Yeah.

- I guess this is good-bye.|- Yes. Yes.

I'm sorry about the meal.

Things could be worse.

He's getting away!

Come on, move!

"Don'f worry, baby.

This'll shave four hours|off our drive. "

We're right back where we started,|you f***ing idiot!

He's an animal.|I should've found the money.

Don't worry. He won't hurt her now.|She's the only insurance he's got.

That was intense!

I'll be right back.

Oh, God!

- I think I broke my leg!|- Sh*t.

Nice f***in' driving, Mario.|Now get us out of here!

You have Triple-A card?

Mine expired.

He's got a gun.

- You were gonna keep this, weren't you?|- He wanted it.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Melvin, I'm sorry.|Can we just talk about this?

I love you!

Sh*t!

I wanted it?

If you would've stayed your narrow ass|on the freeway like I told you to...

this wouldn't have happened.

You wouldn't happen to know|where Melvin is headed, would you?

You wouldn't happen to know|where Melvin might be headed, would you?

Would you?

- Whaf happens now?|- I drop you off and you go home.

No, I mean,|what happens with us?

If you're gonna be with me, there are|certain things you need to understand.

I'm a contract killer.

I murder people for money.|So far they've all been bad people.

Give or take a few obnoxious ones.|That's what I do.

- It's the only thing that I'm good at.|- I'm cool with that.

If you stay with me,|your life's gonna be in danger.

A constant adrenaline rush?|Are you kidding?

- I like it.|- Understand this, okay?

I positively cannot be the only one|falling in love in this relationship.

- It's got to be mutual.|- I'm feeling you, Skipper.

I'm gonna return this tape.

When I come back, if you really want to,|we'll disappear together.

Stay still. Please.

Oh, God. I'm gonna get us out of here.|Just calm down. Please.

You don't seem that calm!

Aw, sh*t.

You okay?

All right. We can get out the back.

Come on. It's safe.|Just don't look down.

Skipper, look.

Oh, sh*t.|You gotta get out of here.

Meet me by the video store.|I gotta deal with this guy. Go!

The most expensive stand-up in the|history of motion picture marketing.

Awesome.

Smiley.

Here's your f***in' tape back.

Let's see here.

Ooh, late charges.

What's this?

Tape's not rewound?|That's gonna cost you!

I've taken a lot of sh*t from you.

I put up with your high prices,|your lousy selection.

- Your rude phone calls.|- Sorry about that.

- I want to tell you one thing.|- What?

I will never rent tapes|from this store again, you snotty-

I'm gonna finish what I started,|motherf***er.

No, please.

Knuckle up, b*tch.

Let's go, motherf***er.|Let's work.

- Where's the girl?|- I let her go.

You let that b*tch go? I can't believe|how f***ing stupid you are, man.

- She ain't no b*tch.|- Oh, she's not a b*tch.

Ben Ramsey

Ben Ramsey (December 28, 1903 – March 27, 1985) was a Texas politician who served in a succession of offices during the mid-20th century. He served in both Houses of the Texas Legislature, as secretary of state, 34th Lieutenant Governor, and as member of the Texas Railroad Commission. Ramsey was born on December 28, 1903, in San Augustine in San Augustine County in east Texas, the son of William Charles and Emma Jenkins Ramsey. He attended San Augustine public schools and worked on the family farm. After finishing high school, he worked three years in his father's law and abstract office, then enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin. He passed the state bar examination before graduation and was licensed to practice law in 1931. Ramsey was elected to the Texas House of Representatives and served two terms. Afterward he returned to San Augustine to practice law with his brother for five years. In 1940, he was elected to the first of two four-year terms to the Texas State Senate. He became a Senate leader in anti-deficit legislation and legislation to regulate labor unions. In 1949, Governor Beauford H. Jester chose Ramsey to be Texas Secretary of State. In 1950, Ramsey resigned from the position before being elected to statewide office as Lieutenant Governor of Texas and was re-elected in 1952, 1954, 1956, 1958, and 1960 for six two-year terms. When Governor Allan Shivers's conservative branch of Texas Democrats clashed with the state's more liberal Democrats, led by U.S. Senate Majority Leader (and future U.S. President) Lyndon B. Johnson and U.S. House Speaker Samuel T. Rayburn of Texas, the two factions agreed to support Ramsey as a member of the National Democratic Committee. In fiscal affairs, especially opposition to higher taxes, Ramsey was considered conservative. Despite this, he supported Governor Shivers in raising revenue necessary for higher teachers' pay, state hospitals, and prisons. Like Shivers, he was an enemy of labor unions. He strongly supported rural electrification, water conservation and development, paving of farm roads, and stricter laws regulation what he called "fly-by-night insurance companies." On September 18, 1961, he resigned from the lieutenant governorship in the middle of his sixth term in office, after being appointed by Governor Price Daniel to the Texas Railroad Commission. The next year, he was elected to the unexpired term and in 1964 and 1970, was re-elected to full six-year terms. He served three two-year terms as chairman. Just before his appointment to the commission, Texas was successful in achieving control over offshore oil (see Tidelands controversy), and Ramsey helped composed the rules for Texas coastal drilling. He chose not to run for re-election to a third six-year term in 1976 and retired from public office in 1977 following 26 years in statewide elected office. Ramsey was married to Florine Hankla of San Augustine, and the couple had three daughters, Rita, Ann and MariBen. He died on March 27, 1985 and was buried in San Augustine. more…
