The Five Heartbeats Page #4

What's wrong with you?

I'm sick of your sh*t,J.T.!

If you're not going to do it right,

don't do it at all!

Duck's right now, man.

If we ain't going to

do it right,

let's not do it at all.

Break down!

(Continues)

(Ends)

What color you want?

(Singing)

(Continues)

Open your eyes.

A new house!

(Ends)

Baby, I don't need no ashtray.

The whole world's an ashtray

if I had that kind.

Here we go again

with the number one hit

in the country

by the Five Heartbeats.

These boys are

pretty, pretty, pretty

because they've been

to Benny, Benny, Benny,

and they're

number one, one, one.

Have you gone to Benny Mullin's

to get into the beauty contest?

What do you think I am, Eddie...

stupid?

I know who Monroe is

and what he does.

Hey, you ain't got your woman

in check, man?

Uh...

baby, I think

you're overstepping your bounds

just a little bit,

you know?

I can't do this anymore.

I can't sit back

and watch you destroy yourself.

Come on, baby,

not in here, please.

I just wanted

to let you know that...

I packed my things, and...

I'll be gone.

It's showtime.!

Opening Big Red's Soul Revue...

Bird and the Midnight Falcons.!

(Singing)

(Ends)

You're doing a great job

with the Heartbeats.

You're late again, Eddie.

I know what you been trying to do,

but you ain't going to do it.

See, Big Red done pulled

my coattail to you

a long, long time ago.

That's bullshit, Eddie.

You're talking crazy, man.

Yeah, I'm crazy

like a motherfucking fox.

And you...

I can see through your jive ass

like glass, n*gger.

Eddie, you got it all wrong.

Stealing my moves, my style.

You're even trying

to riff like me!

Why don't you get

your boy out of here

and detox him?

You want my spot, Flash? Hmm?

Slum-dwelling, scum-sucking,

slug-ass motherf***er!

You want my spot, Flash? Huh?

Well, you ain't going to get it,

'cause you ain't got it.

(Singing)

(Ends)

No word on Eddie?

I can sing his parts.

I know all his parts.

OK, go ahead.

Thank you.

Eddie.

Eddie, get up!

Eddie, get up, damn it!

Eddie, get up!

And what is this sh*t?

No, no.

I did what I did tonight, man,

on purpose.

jimmy, man, he's on some kind

of motherfucking power trip

and sh*t,

talking about replacing people.

I just wanted to show

that motherf***er

what time it was!

You left us hanging

because of sh*t

between you and Jimmy?

jimmy, man, he don't know, man.

He just think he know, but...

That ain't got nothing to do

with what we're

talking about, man!

We talked about this drinking

and drug sh*t before.

You said

you was going to quit,

so we left you alone,

thinking you would calm down.

just 'cause I have one...

two, maybe two drinks sometime...

What, I'm an alcoholic now?

What happened to Baby Doll?

You're worse than your old man.

I'll kick your motherfucking...

Get off him, Eddie!

What you doin', man?

Thank you,

but you didn't have to.

I could have chased him

to the other side of the room.

Oh, no.

You'd have never caught him.

You enjoying the party?

I'm here with

my girlfriend Janet.

Yeah. I'm, uh...

I'm the lead singer

in the Five Heartbeats.

I put the sh*t together,

and I write

most of the material.

I didn't know it was you.

Would you please excuse me?

What's your name?

Sandra Tillman.

Hi.

Anthony Stone.

They call me Rock.

Rock?

We changing our style.

We getting Afros.

We're going to be recording

on our own record label.

Now, you heard of

Berry Gordy and Motown.

Leon and Lester...

- 'Fro town!

- 'Fro town!

Excuse me. Mr. Duck?

Tanya Sawyer.

You remember me.

Yeah.

So, have you written

any poems lately?

Um...

No. I've, um...

Um...

You want to get out of here

and go somewhere and talk?

Yeah.

Let me tell my brother.

He's upstairs, and, uh...

just wait right here.

No. See, I got a better one.

How you keep an a**hole

in suspense?

Oh, you can talk now.

Hey, how's it going?

You're not leaving the party,

are you?

No. I'm going toJ.T. 's room.

Listen to this one.

There was this king

and he had three daughters.

He told the princes of the land

that if you wanted my daughters...

I need to talk to you, Big Red.

Give me a minute.

Can't you see I'm talking?

No! I need to talk

to you right now

about my royalties

and how you keep your books.

My offce hours are

from 9:
00 to 5:00.

F*** your offce hours!

I need to talk to you

right now, motherf***er!

Look at that!

What are you doing, man?

Excuse me, ladies.

Excuse me.

You don't talk back!

Uhh! Aah!

Huh?

Aah!

Open up the goddamn window!

No!

Yeah!

Don't do this, Red!

Don't do this to me, Red!

No! Aah!

Hit him again!

Aah! No!

Help! No!

What about my books?

What you want to talk about?

Nothing! Please!

What you want to talk about?

Let me up!

Bring him up. Come on, boy.

Bring him in.

Come back here!

Let me up!

Now, if you have

any other problems

with your royalties

and my books...

my offce hours are from...

my offce hours are from...

9:
00 to 5:00.

You know, something's wrong.

You're sitting by yourself,

there's a big party

going on upstairs for us.

All the ladies

are asking about you.

They don't care nothing

about me.

They just want to be seen

with J.T. of the Heartbeats.

j.T., that's always

been part of your rap.

"Hello. I'm J.T. of the

Five Heartbeats. How ya doin'?"

Yeah, I know, I know,

but I'm tired of that.

I'm getting older, Duck.

I don't want to be some old man

still chasing.

I'm tired of being with

different women every night.

It's like it's a drug,

and I don't get nothing

out of it.

Settle down,

have some little kids

running around the house...

No. I can't do that.

It's like I don't know

what it is.

I like being with different women

all the time.

It's like I can't control myself.

It's like I'm addicted.

I don't know what to say.

I mean, they got centers

for drug addicts and alcoholics,

but I don't know

if they have any

dick-control centers.

I'm serious, Duck.

I'm serious too. You should go

to a dick-control center.

"I'm J.T. Matthews,

and I can't control my dick."

Oh, man.

What they going to do

to it, though?

You just work

with some mannequins.

j.T., it's like this, man...

When the right woman

comes along,

it's going to be right.

You can't force it.

Yeah. I know. You're right.

This would make a great song.

Yeah, yeah.

When you have one

of those crumb snatchers,

just name one after me, OK?

Whoever gets married frst.

I'll see you upstairs.

jimmy!

Man, what's so important

it couldn't wait

until tomorrow?

Eleanor's mad as hell.

We had plans today.

This ain't going

to take that long.

Ha ha ha ha!

Well...

Hey, Eddie!

jimmy.

I wanted to talk to you,

because I think

it's time for some changes.

You've done a great job

with the boys,

but now I think it's time

for the boys to have

a more experienced manager.

What's the joke, man?

It's not a joke.

Then what the hell

are you talking about?

I'm talking about buying you out.
