Uptown Saturday Night Page #6

There's no one place you can go

and all the lips are there.

Loose lips move around.

Loose lips are among you in the pews.

They're among you in the choir.

-Amen.

-Yes, sir.

There are loose lips among the deacons.

Certain things got out about a meeting

we had here last Tuesday night...

that nobody should have known!

Had to be among the deacons.

It's among the children

in the Sunday school...

saying, "l ain't going to put in this money.

"I'm going to spend it on candy."

I done heard so many bad things

about so many of you all...

till I wept with sadness last night.

Last night my heart hung heavy, friends.

I felt so bad,

I almost went out and bought a bottle.

Watch out there, now. Watch out there.

Friends, I fought temptation...

and that's what we gonna

have to learn to do.

When we get the temptation

to let our loose lips loose, fight it!

We got to learn to get off the wrong foot...

and step out on the good foot. Feel good.

When you feel good, you look good,

and you want to do good things.

You want to make other people happy

'cause it makes you happy yourself.

Friends, we need more romance

and less hot pants.

Come on with it now.

Run some water on the hot pants.

Put your sprinkler on and run through,

you want to cool your hot pants off.

We need more midnight sleeping

and less midnight creeping.

Yeah. Lay it on us.

Help us, Lord! Help us!

Somebody got to do something!

-Can I get an amen?

-Amen!

Let's stand here, brother...

as we get ready to dismiss ourselves

for our picnic.

-Can I get one more amen for the Lord?

-Amen!

Truly wonderful, brother!

I want you to call your boss...

and tell him his office

is gonna be burglarized this afternoon...

and have the police stake it out, all right?

-But--

-Just do what I asked you to do.

Something's come up, baby.

I got to be out of the city for a few hours.

Keep everything warm. I'll see you later.

-What it is.

-Move it.

No good.

Maybe we could get into the trunk

through the back seat.

All right, you young ones,

baseball game is about to start!

Everybody on the field. Come on now!

Baseball game is about to start.

All you players on the field.

Man, I ain't had this much fun

since I was in reform school.

-Yeah? Which one was you in?

-Waterbury.

No, I was in Charlottetown. Watch this.

I'm going to steal second on you turkeys.

Try it.

See if you can get me a chisel

and a hammer.

-A what?

-A chisel and a hammer.

-Where am I going to get a chisel?

-Look in the toolbox of the bus, dodo.

Come and get it!

You know,

I had such a time dancing with you.

You're a dainty little thing.

I'd like to take you

to Geechie Dan's place...

and have a time. Yes, I would.

Don't you think it's time you told me...

about what's going on

with your new friends?

We're just working with them

to get the ticket.

-Steve.

-Now, don't worry.

We're closer to that ticket

than you realize. Don't worry.

Okay, if you say so.

I better go get the girls ready

for the African ceremonial pageant.

Give me a kiss. Come on, give me a kiss.

Hello.

Baby, what's happening?

Sure, I can talk.

All right, girl. Split.

No. You stay right where you are.

No. I'll get back to you later. Hang up now.

I'll be a son of a....

-Everything's gone wrong.

-They didn't get the diamonds.

Not only didn't get them,

but they got busted...

all of them, and one of them talked!

No. Not my boys. They don't talk.

Mine neither, but somebody did...

'cause the cops is looking for me and you.

They busted into my apartment

with a warrant for both of us!

Then somebody did talk.

I think you and me better get out of here

so we can kind of talk this thing over.

Let's roll.

-Mr. Silky Slim--

-Out of my way, fool!

We could have been set up.

What about these two?

Maybe we were set up.

Rock gonna check you out good...

and if you ain't clean, I'll come on

back here and pick up your liver.

-Now move out of there, sucker.

-Get that heap out of there.

Boss, look! Trouble!

-Let's get the hell out of here.

-There's only one road out, and that's it!

-We've got to think of something fast.

-You better think of something fast.

-This whole dumb-ass trip was your idea !

-Hang on to your cool, sucker.

There's got to be something.

There's got to be a way out.

Officer Lewis, what's going on?

We have a warrant for the arrest of one

Nickademus Williams, alias Silky Slim...

and one Daniel Beauford,

alias Geechie Dan.

We don't have anybody

in our congregation with names like them.

Geechie Slim. Silky Dan. No.

-You mind if we look around?

-No, sir, Officer. You go right ahead.

-This Slim's car?

-Yeah.

Open it.

Just stay with me.

Nothing here, sir.

They're here someplace.

All you got to do is point them out.

We'll do the rest.

I'm gonna kill you.

-Well?

-I can't, man. They'll murder me.

I can't. They'll do me in.

You understand? I can't do it!

Now, move! Get out of the way!

Mr. Silky, wait! Mr. Silky.

There they go!

Hit the brakes.

That sucker's going to get us killed.

You better get him off of there.

Door's stuck.

Fool, you can't swim !

-You all right, baby?

-I'm fine.

I'm doing all right. How's Wardell?

He's in another wing.

Irma's with him. He's okay.

-And the ticket?

-It's safely hidden away at home.

Sarah, we're on our way.

Now, Sarah,

don't you cloud up on me, girl.

Lookie here.

You got to go shopping for us.

A backyard, a southern one.

I know this restaurant across town,

seafood restaurant...

where they got some of the best food

in the world...

and live music and dancing.

Now that we can afford it, we gonna

have to go out and do this town up right.

I got my red dress...

and my high-heeled sneakers

at home waiting, baby.

Amen!
