Offend me?

Hey, hey, Daddy,

Half of it melted before

you even got down.

I'm telling you,

It's hot down...

Ask anybody

about the heat, 'Scoe.

I ain't gonna lie

about none of that, man.

Whatever.

Hey, O.

Yo.

How old is crazy-ass Bucky?

Shouldn't he be dead by now?

Bucky's at least 25 now.

Yeah. Yeah,

that dog is old,

boy.

Are you serious?

That's 175 people years!

And he's still

a little player,

I'm telling you.

You better watch

behind you.

(WHINING)

So, did I hear

Clyde was coming

with Lucinda?

Mmm-hmm.

Should be here

(LAUGHS)

I thought

Uh-uh.

That ended

a while ago,

baby bro.

Yeah, that...

Man, no, she moved

to Atlanta, man,

and that smooth nigga

Clyde supposed to be

hollering at her again.

What you mean, "again"?

He ain't never been

with her. Never!

Lookie here.

Little Hollywood man.

"He's never been

with her. Never!"

"Never!"

(LAUGHING) What, you look

like you trying to throw

your hat in the ring.

No, I'm just setting

the record straight,

bubblehead.

Set the record

straight on this. Now.

(WHOOPING)

Good God Almighty,

I smell them funky ribs!

Yeah, baby,

they're good, too.

Here, baby bro.

Now, I need your discriminate

tongue to let me know

if I'm still on track.

You know how

and a Pepsi, right now!

No, no, I'm cool.

I'm gonna wait

on the chicken.

Skinless.

Why? You Muslim now?

Yeah, what the hell?

You a Five Percenter?

Nah.

I just adopted

a low-fat, high-fiber diet.

Bianca and I...

(EXCLAIMS

IN DISGUST)

"Bianca and I..."

I know what it is.

The black Paris Hilton

done sissified you

off the pig.

That's what's up.

It ain't like that, O.

Bullshit! You on

that Hollywood sh*t.

Nigga, please.

Give me... Let me see this.

You see this swine is fine,

divine, sublime

and right on time.

Right on time!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Man! Look at that.

Want some of this

dipping sauce, baby?

Yeah, go on. Get...

Go on, taste a little

piece of that.

Don't be scared.

You got on

the Kwanzaa outfit now.

Go on, get down,

like you live. Go ahead

and taste a piece of that.

Bite that.

Go on, man.

How about a piece,

Nelson Mandela?

Stop being so scary, man.

Farrakhan ain't

nowhere around here.

Man!

What's up, man?

Come on!

The Last King

from Scotland. Look.

With the Forest Whitaker eye.

(LAUGHING)

Wait, look.

Put a little barbecue sauce

on the dead eye.

Might jump up out of there.

(LAUGHING)

OTIS:
(LAUGHING)

Boy, you crazy.

(REGGIE AND OTIS CHATTERING)

Yes, indeed, that's

gonna be good! Stir

that up for me, Bilante.

Now, in episode 11,

did you have to pull

your titties out?

I had to have

that chocolate cake.

But you threw it up.

On purpose.

Whether on Survivor

or in life, I believe

in winning at all costs.

That's why RJ and I

are perfectly matched.

(LAUGHING)

Girl, you tripping.

You better mind out, Betty.

Come on now, Mama.

Roscoe and winning

don't even go

in the same sentence.

Only Clyde

gets that

distinction.

Who's Clyde?

Oh.

I'm glad you asked.

Clyde is our cousin.
