right ?

No ! He's never

gonna change.

Hey ! Hey.

[ Mrs. carver ]

Leland ?

Hello, darling.

Dear, I thought you were

still with the politicians.

I was, but there's no

problem if you'd like

to measure in here.

I don't believe

we've met.

This is Mr. lamont.

He's a friend of mine

from Florida.

Mr. lamont is more

interested in kristi.

It's, um --

I mean...

Ah... you look

just like my sister.

Hmm.

By marriage !

Sister-in-law.

Well, she is the most

beautiful decorator.

And she's doing our whole house.

If ever you need --

I'll keep it in mind.

- We'll let you finish.

- We'll see you in a moment.

Kristi, let's go do

the bedrooms.

[ Quietly ]

Tomorrow morning.

S-s-sh*t !

Is this the FBI ?

Could you put me through

to Mr. Houston, please ?

This is Miles pope,

again.

Tell him I called.

So... this is how you

white people live ?

Not bad !

Have some room service.

I ordered the whole

left side of the menu.

Miles, you should join

a support group.

- What ?

- A support group.

Where people in the same

situation get together.

The same situation ?

I'm passing for white.

I've been hired to find

and kill myself.

That's a common problem.

That's a f***ing epidemic !

Miles, calm down, man.

I can't calm down.

The whole white-face makeup

thing is a nightmare.

I gotta get my life back.

I'm gonna go home and say,

"mammy, don't you know me ?"

Wait a minute !

There was a girl.

She worked for Mrs. carver.

She was a decorator.

- All right !

- Maybe she knows something.

She's been all over that house.

Maybe she's seen a secret safe.

All right.

Hello, I'd like to speak

to Mrs. Rita carver, please.

Thank you.

Rita, darling.

Hello.

It's lord Percy chisley

pithee-Smythe...

Of South worchestershire

upon avon.

I want to speak to you

about your decorator.

Everyone is talking

about her.

That's marvelous.

Yes.

Uh-huh.

Soho !

How spiffy.

Wonderful !

Thank you, Rita, darling.

Love you more than

life itself. Ciao.

Duane, listen.

Do you still have the key to

your wardrobe department ?

[ Buzzer ]

Who'd you say

you were ?

Darryl brown,

James' brother.

James brown.

The James brown ?

Hey !

Hit man !

Right on, baby.

A friend of mine gave me

your name. Rita carver ?

- You know Rita ?

- Yeah, I'm into art and sh*t.

She told me you was

doing some radical

bullshit up here.

I'm loaded

and ready to buy.

Do you mind if I take

a look around ?

Well, come --

what a delightful apartment.

Very urban. Good God.

Hey !

Looks like massio !

Ohhh !

I love doors !

My house is full of doors.

I'll buy it.

How do you know

Rita carver ?

She's a friend of James'.

They dated for awhile.

Don't tell nobody

I told you that.

I hates to gossip,

but have you heard that

rumor about her old man ?

About how he's some

big-time mobster ?

Had his face redone.

- Don't be ridiculous.

- Who you calling ridiculous ?

You never seen any little

secret hiding places ?

Or one secret room ?

Or places where you're

never supposed to go ?

Have you got

any I.D. On you ?

This one

is real superb.

I love the way the jeans

bunch up into his --

you're bullshitting me !

Mrs. carver never dated

no James brown.

I swear on my

brother's parole board.

Aaah !

You nuked me !

You'll be shaky

for awhile.

Start talking !

I'm an actor.

Miles pope.

I'm in a lot of trouble.

I need your help.

- What are you talking about ?

- Leland carver.

That's what this is about !

You're trying to pump me for

information about my client.

Your client is trying

to kill me.

Give me a break !

You haven't said a

truthful word. Now you

expect me to believe this ?

- I can explain.

- [ Zapping ]

All right. Just don't

"taze" me again.

Look... I really

did like the door.

Only in New York.

Hello ?

What are you

doing here ?

What are you doing here,

Mr. "no-pants"...

Or do I need to ask ?

No, you don't

have to ask.

Duane, honey,

is that the champagne

and lobster you ordered ?

No, cherise,

it's the maid.

Come here, man.

The mob's trying to kill

me and you're ordering

champagne and lobster ?

Some guy called who said

his name was... Anthony.

He wanted you to confirm

if the package was delivered.

If not, he would make

other arrangements.

Whatever that's

supposed to mean.

What does it mean ?

Are you gonna leave now ?

I'm gonna make a phone call.

Is that okay ?

It's okay, but can you

not make it too long ?

Cherise doesn't like

a lot of noise.

It breaks her

concentration.

Hello. Can I speak

to Mr. carver, please ?

It's a matter

of life and death.

Tell him it's Mr. lamont

from Florida.

Where is he ?

Golf course ?

Which golf course ?

Can you get in touch

with him ?

When are you

expecting him back ?

Sh*t no.

I can't wait that long.

If I'm lying,

I'm flying.

You're the first brother

I had in here all day.

When I say "brother"...

I mean African-American.

It's crucial for people

to remember their heritage.

Absolutely.

Brothers today don't want

to know about the struggle.

I start talkin' about

the struggle, they say,

"step on it, please.

I'm in a hurry."

I'm kinda in

a rush myself.

Uncle Toms

and wanna-be's, man.

They don't know who they are,

Brooks brothers suits and all.

They're ashamed

of themselves.

I heard that.

We, as a people,

gotta stand up...

And say "we're black

and we're proud of it."

Right ?

Absolutely.

There's only one way for

a black man to make it

in a white man's world.

Great googa-mooga !

Where's Mr. carver playing ?

I don't believe

he's started yet.

He's probably still

in the locker room.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Mr. carver, I believe

we have a visitor.

I didn't know you were a member

of this club, Mr. lamont.

We gotta talk.

I don't discuss business

in public. Kindly leave.

We have to talk.

This business is important.

Come with me.

Now what's so

f***ing important ?

It's about pope.

I need a little more time.

More time ?

I'm not asking you

to whack the president

of the United States.

This is some f***ing actor

with no talent and no future.

I want him

permanently cancelled.

I don't know. I hear

it's only time before

he makes it real big.

What ?

Geez,

it's hot in here.

Whoo !

I don't want

no more excuses.

Either you whack this spook

or I get somebody else.

Spook ?

Yeah, spook.

You've got 24 hours.

And if you don't mind,

I wanna start my game...

Unless you got something

else on your tiny mind.

Hey.

Hey...

What's that black sh*t

running down your forehead ?

What ?

Yeah...

You got black sh*t.

It's disgusting.

Oh, sh*t ! It's...

It's my hair dye.

Every time I do a job,

I change my hair color....

In case there's, you know,

witnesses.

You leave witnesses ?

No, no, course not.

I'm a professional.

It's been nice talkin' to you,

but I really gotta go.

I got a lot of

whacking to do.

Another day,

another whack-a-roonio.

Lamotta, first you whack

Miles pope.

Then you whack the guy
