sensitive with these
bills.
Copy !req
2. They're out of sight.
Copy !req
3. Phil, stop looking at my chest.
Copy !req
4. I'm sorry, honey.
Copy !req
5. It's just that ever since
you've been pregnant
Copy !req
6. they're back.
Copy !req
7. Is that all I am to you?
As a bustline?
Copy !req
8. I'm sorry. Did you say
something, honey?
Copy !req
9. Hey, morning, ya'll.
Copy !req
10. Hey, baby.
Copy !req
11. Check this out,
aunt viv.
Copy !req
12. What are you doing?
Copy !req
13. I learned in biology
Copy !req
14. babies can respond
to music
Copy !req
15. while still in the womb.
Copy !req
16. Like when you was
carrying Carlton,
Copy !req
17. you kept listening
to it's a small
world after all.
Copy !req
18. The baby's kicking.
Who's that singing?
Copy !req
19. Just a little heavy d.
For heavy v.
Copy !req
20. It's bad enough you have
an influence on Ashley.
Copy !req
21. Hands off the fetus.
Copy !req
22. Can we at least make
the kid be righteous?
Copy !req
23. Have an African name,
like, um,
Copy !req
24. Hey, check it out.
I got him a gift.
Copy !req
25. New itty bitty x-cap.
Copy !req
26. Teeny weeny Doug Martins.
Copy !req
27. Too cool for pre-school, right?
Copy !req
28. Will, why all the sudden
interst in the baby?
Copy !req
29. I've been able
to save Ashley, but, um
Copy !req
30. as far as you see
the other two kids
Copy !req
31. they're a couple wings
short of a bucket.
Copy !req
32. Just one minute.
Copy !req
33. There is nothing wrong with
Hillary and Carlton.
Copy !req
34. Daddy, how can I support myself
if you don't increase your
credit card limit?
Copy !req
35. Dad, I decided to throw
a caution to the wind.
Copy !req
36. V-neck!
Copy !req
37. Co-incidence? I think not.
Copy !req
38. Allow me.
Copy !req
39. dad, I'd like to try
something out on you.
Copy !req
40. Carlton, please.
Copy !req
41. Do I have to sit through
your urkel impression again?
Copy !req
42. Maybe later.
Copy !req
43. I've been reading this
book on negotiating.
Copy !req
44. I'd like to practice
my technique.
Copy !req
45. No.
Copy !req
46. I'm going to look you
straight in the eye
Copy !req
47. and ask you again.
Copy !req
48. No. And get some binaca.
Copy !req
49. Come on, big guy,
work with me.
Copy !req
50. I'd like a raise
in my allowance.
Copy !req
51. Alright.
How much?
Copy !req
52. 75,000.
Copy !req
53. Are you insane?
Copy !req
54. The book says
start high.
Copy !req
55. And obviously you are.
Copy !req
56. I'll give you
$3.00 more a week.
Copy !req
57. Gee, thanks, dad.
Copy !req
58. Now I can stop taking money
from your wallet.
Copy !req
59. Sorry, margo.
I can't make
the neiman's sale.
Copy !req
60. Now that I'm living
on my own,
Copy !req
61. I have to do my own
grocery shopping.
Copy !req
62. I know.
Copy !req
63. O.K., bye.
Copy !req
64. Hilary, honey,
I'm really proud of you.
Copy !req
65. I don't think
you've ever gone
grocery shopping.
Copy !req
66. Well, I guess it's time
I spread my wings.
Copy !req
67. That's the last time
I shop here for fruit.
Copy !req
68. Oh, daddy, you don't
have to carry it.
Copy !req
69. I'm a big girl.
Copy !req
70. Let go, daddy!
Do your own shopping!
Copy !req
71. Dad, if we put a bell
around her neck,
Copy !req
72. we'd know when
she was coming.
Copy !req
73. Shut up, Carlton.
Copy !req
74. Okey-dokey.
Copy !req
75. Hilary, you're
a 23-year-old woman
Copy !req
76. living in your
parents' pool house.
Copy !req
77. You haven't had a job
in over two months.
Copy !req
78. What do you have
to say for yourself?
Copy !req
79. I'm not pregnant.
Copy !req
80. Honey, sweetheart, I...
Copy !req
81. I don't want to be
too hard on you.
Copy !req
82. The hell I don't.
Get a job.
Copy !req
83. Why don't you
just beat me with
a wire hanger?
Copy !req
84. Yo, yo, my posse,
check it out.
Copy !req
85. Yours truly is going
to be on the 6:00 news.
Copy !req
86. Hey, and
without handcuffs.
Copy !req
87. What, they use
the old choke-hold?
Copy !req
88. This I got to see.
Copy !req
89. It was
a peaceful protest.
Copy !req
90. Would've made
Gandhi proud.
Copy !req
91. Except we went out
for burgers afterwards.
Copy !req
92. Well, what were you
protesting, will?
Copy !req
93. The city wants to tear down
the pico rec center,
Copy !req
94. so we started a petition
we might be able to save it.
Copy !req
95. When did you become
so socially conscious?
Copy !req
96. I play ball down there.
Copy !req
97. Plus, it's good
for the community.
Copy !req
98. There's also
this girl down there
on the swim team.
Copy !req
99. She teaching me
the breast stroke.
Copy !req
100. Come on, you guys,
the news is starting.
Copy !req
101. Tear it down!
Save the rec!
Copy !req
102. Save the rec!
Tear it down!
Copy !req
103. I'm standing outside
the L.A. recreational center
Copy !req
104. on pico boulevard.
Copy !req
105. The people you see
behind me
Copy !req
106. all have one thing
in common.
Copy !req
107. Yeah. Polyester.
Copy !req
108. Except for that guy
holding the microphone.
Copy !req
109. He's kind of cute.
Copy !req
110. I wonder why I've never
seen him before.
Copy !req
111. Probably because
this is the news
Copy !req
112. and he's never been
on studs.
Copy !req
113. Doesn't matter.
He wouldn't be interested
in me anyway.
Copy !req
114. I have no job.
I have no self-esteem.
Copy !req
115. I'm nobody.
Copy !req
116. Shut up!
Copy !req
117. We're trying
to hear the TV.
Copy !req
118. This place is a magnet
for urban decay.
Copy !req
119. I've been mugged
here twice.
Copy !req
120. I say tear
the sucker down.
Copy !req
121. Of course, not everyone
felt the same way.
Copy !req
122. Ahh, here we go.
Copy !req
123. I'm for the rec center
Copy !req
124. because that's where I do
most of my rec centering.
Copy !req
125. When I'm not
down with r-e-c,
Copy !req
126. I'm down with r-a-p.
Copy !req
127. good luck, homey.
Copy !req
128. I don't believe
that mess.
Copy !req
129. It's the same thing
Copy !req
130. every time they
interview a black
person on TV.
Copy !req
131. They either
singin', dancin',
Copy !req
132. they got curlers on
or out of activator.
Copy !req
133. Will, that really
makes you think—
Copy !req
134. what's activator?
Copy !req
135. Come on, man.
You saw that story.
Copy !req
136. I mean,
that ain't fair.
Copy !req
137. Life isn't fair,
will.
Copy !req
138. Was it fair when
Bambi's mother died?
Copy !req
139. Or is it fair
Copy !req
140. that the coyote
still can't catch
the roadrunner?
Copy !req
141. Or how about
Roger rabbit?
Copy !req
142. How did he
get a babe like that?
Copy !req
143. You know, Carlton,
you're right.
Copy !req
144. Life isn't fair,
because if it was,
Copy !req
145. your legs
wouldn't be shorter
than your arms.
Copy !req
146. Hey, good morning.
Copy !req
147. Hi, Carla.
Any calls?
Copy !req
148. Just another
lonely white woman
Copy !req
149. wanting
to sleep with you.
Copy !req
150. Carla, that's
very unprofessional.
Copy !req
151. Besides, how do you
know she's white?
Copy !req
152. She's my mother.
Copy !req
153. Hmm.
Copy !req
154. Oh, forget it, will.
Copy !req
155. Trevor won't be
interested in some
unemployed freeloader.
Copy !req
156. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Copy !req
157. Now come on, hil.
Copy !req
158. Your job is not
your identity.
Copy !req
159. You got a lot
going for you.
Copy !req
160. Like what?
Copy !req
161. Well, like the fact
that you're...
Copy !req
162. Well, you know
that you-you're...
Copy !req
163. Your... Hat always
matches your shoes.
Copy !req
164. Talk about
missing the obvious.
Copy !req
165. Thanks, will.
Copy !req
166. Excuse me, miss.
Copy !req
167. Last night this station
did a hatchet job
Copy !req
168. on the rec center.
Copy !req
169. I want to talk
to somebody.
Copy !req
170. That would be
our producer Howard.
Copy !req
171. But he doesn't talk
to the viewing public.
Copy !req
172. It causes
his ulcer to bleed.
Copy !req
173. Howard, there's someone
here to see you.
Copy !req
174. Heh heh heh heh.
Copy !req
175. Thank you.
Copy !req
176. No. Thank you.
Copy !req
177. Oh, God.
Copy !req
178. What?
Copy !req
179. Oops.
Copy !req
180. Um, I dropped my wallet.
Copy !req
181. Could you
get that, please?
Copy !req
182. If your horny friend
wants to meet Trevor,
Copy !req
183. he's down the hall.
Copy !req
184. But you'll have to
fight my mother for him.
Copy !req
185. O.K.
Copy !req
186. Someone here
to see me, Carla?
Copy !req
187. An angry viewer.
I'm going to lunch.
Copy !req
188. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
189. Look, kid,
I've got an emergency.
Copy !req
190. I need
a new weatherman.
Copy !req
191. I just need
30 seconds on the air
Copy !req
192. to talk about saving
the rec center.
Copy !req
193. Ethnic is definitely
a way to go.
Copy !req
194. Yo, come on, man,
this ain't about color.
Copy !req
195. I ain't
some young rapper
trying to get on TV.
Copy !req
196. Great legs.
Copy !req
197. Oh, thanks.
Copy !req
198. Thanks a lot, man.
Copy !req
199. But I ain't
dancin' either.
This is serious.
Copy !req
200. Look, kid,
I got to run.
Copy !req
201. Alright, I'll dance.
Just no tap, alright?
Copy !req
202. Maybe Mike
can help you.
Copy !req
203. Look, Mike,
I'm going to cut
to the chase.
Copy !req
204. I need 30 seconds
on the air.
Copy !req
205. Can you help me?
Copy !req
206. I'm 60, and
I'm pushing a mail cart.
Copy !req
207. Do I look like
I can help you?
Copy !req
208. Excuse me.
Copy !req
209. I'm Howard, the producer
of news in action.
Copy !req
210. Could you do that again?
Copy !req
211. Do what?
Copy !req
212. Stand like you were
before, on your toes,
Copy !req
213. only this time
I'd like you to point.
Copy !req
214. Incredible.
Copy !req
215. How would you like to be
a weathergirl?
Copy !req
216. I don't know the first thing
about weather.
Copy !req
217. Sure you do.
Copy !req
218. What happens when it rains?
Copy !req
219. You send Geoffrey
out to get the car.
Copy !req
220. Yo, man, I don't
appreciate being
played like this.
Copy !req
221. It's 'cause I'm black.
Copy !req
222. That's why you won't
put me on the air.
Copy !req
223. That one black anchor just
ain't going to cut it.
Copy !req
224. That's why I'm making her
our new weathergirl.
Copy !req
225. Oh!
Copy !req
226. Whew. I love
a screamer.
Copy !req
227. Oh, will, this is
all thanks to you.
Copy !req
228. I owe you big-time.
Copy !req
229. This is great.
Copy !req
230. You can put me
on the air.
Copy !req
231. Forget it.
What experience
do you have?
Copy !req
232. This is
'cause I'm black.
Copy !req
233. Yo, I don't believe this,
Copy !req
234. yo, the news station
won't let me on
Copy !req
235. to talk about
the petition.
Copy !req
236. Will, will, will,
will, will...
Copy !req
237. Haven't you
learned anything,
Copy !req
238. living with me
the past two years?
Copy !req
239. What you mean,
other than the
words to Mandy?
Copy !req
240. I'm talking about
the art of negotiation.
Copy !req
241. And I'll be glad to share
my wisdom with you.
Copy !req
242. No, no.
Last time you shared
something with me,
Copy !req
243. I was on antibiotics
for two weeks.
Copy !req
244. Hi, boys.
Copy !req
245. What's goin' on,
Uncle Phil?
Copy !req
246. So, will,
have any luck down
at the news station?
Copy !req
247. No. It was weird.
Copy !req
248. No matter how much
sense I made, the dude
wouldn't listen.
Copy !req
249. I don't know.
Copy !req
250. It was almost like
a discrimination-type
thing or something.
Copy !req
251. I don't know...
Copy !req
252. Boy, I wish
I knew a lawyer.
Copy !req
253. What are you
talking about?
You know me.
Copy !req
254. You this big-time lawyer
and everything.
Copy !req
255. You ain't got time
to help us little guys
fight the system.
Copy !req
256. You did, back in the day.
You was the man then.
Copy !req
257. Don't even worry
about it, Uncle Phil.
Copy !req
258. wait a minute, will.
Copy !req
259. Who did you meet with?
Copy !req
260. Some producer
named Howard,
Uncle Phil.
Copy !req
261. Let's pay Howard
another visit.
Copy !req
262. Nobody pushes my nephew around
and gets away with it.
Copy !req
263. No, sir,
they do not!
Copy !req
264. I'll slap that place
with so many
class-action suits,
Copy !req
265. they won't know
what hit 'em.
Copy !req
266. Hi, everyone.
Copy !req
267. Did will tell you
the good news?
Copy !req
268. I got a job.
Copy !req
269. Hallelujah.
Praise Jesus.
Let's go,
Uncle Phil.
Copy !req
270. No, wait.
It's not every day
my baby gets a job.
Copy !req
271. What will you
be doing?
Copy !req
272. O.K., try to guess.
Copy !req
273. A limo picks me up
and takes me home,
Copy !req
274. I'll make
lots of money,
Copy !req
275. and I'll only
have to work
an hour a day.
Copy !req
276. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
277. She's going to be
a hooker!
Copy !req
278. No, you idiot.
Copy !req
279. I'm going to be
a weathergirl.
Copy !req
280. That is so great.
Let's go, Uncle Phil.
Copy !req
281. I didn't even
know you were up
for the job.
Copy !req
282. Was it? It's all thanks
to will.
Copy !req
283. Unlike you, who kicked me
when I was down,
Copy !req
284. will took me by the hand and let
me to the station
Copy !req
285. to meet
Trevor Collins,
Copy !req
286. and while I was there,
Howard offered me the job.
Copy !req
287. I love Howard.
Copy !req
288. Uncle Phil, remember,
Howard's the enemy.
Copy !req
289. Shut up, will.
Copy !req
290. Howard's a God.
Copy !req
291. He performed a miracle.
Hilary's working.
Copy !req
292. With luck, she'll
be off my property
before I'm dead.
Copy !req
293. So, sweetheart,
tell me about
this Howard.
Copy !req
294. Does he like cashmere?
Copy !req
295. Ha ha ha ha.
Copy !req
296. My man, Carlton.
Copy !req
297. What's up with this
negotiating thing,
man?
Copy !req
298. Hop on one foot
and say Carlton is king.
Copy !req
299. You know, I got a better idea.
Copy !req
300. How about I squeeze your neck
till your head
pops off?
Copy !req
301. See? You're
negotiating already.
Copy !req
302. You guys are
the greatest.
Copy !req
303. Thanks for
making sure
I got here o.K.
Copy !req
304. That's what family's for.
Copy !req
305. We wouldn't have gotten past
security without you.
Copy !req
306. I don't understand.
Copy !req
307. We were counting on that.
Copy !req
308. Hi, Carla. Any calls?
Copy !req
309. I'm gonna demand
to get on the air.
Copy !req
310. Has all that
hot sauce finally
gone to your brain?
Copy !req
311. There's a right way
to negotiate
and a wrong way.
Copy !req
312. Observe
the right way.
Copy !req
313. Hi. I'm here
to see Howard.
Copy !req
314. Your name?
Copy !req
315. Bryant.
Copy !req
316. Bryant gumbel.
Copy !req
317. And I'm
Patti LaBelle.
Copy !req
318. Beat it.
Copy !req
319. Look, Patti, you seem
like a no-nonsense
kind of slimmie.
Copy !req
320. I'll give it
to you straight.
Copy !req
321. Will, you got to lie
to get what you want.
Copy !req
322. Didn't you watch
the republican convention?
Copy !req
323. Carlton, don't make me
come down there.
Copy !req
324. Look, I need 30 seconds
on the air
Copy !req
325. to talk about
why the rec center
shouldn't be demolished.
Copy !req
326. I don't care if I got to
force my way on the set.
Copy !req
327. Let me get this straight.
Copy !req
328. You want to storm
the set,
Copy !req
329. disrupt a live newscast,
and jeopardize this
station's credibility?
Copy !req
330. Yes.
Copy !req
331. Will you be needing
wardrobe?
Copy !req
332. Five minutes to air,
everybody.
Copy !req
333. Oh, hilary,
before you go on,
Copy !req
334. I'm going to tell you
the same thing
Copy !req
335. I told Dan rather.
Copy !req
336. Wet your lips.
Copy !req
337. Thank you.
Copy !req
338. So...
Copy !req
339. How do you like
the jacket?
Copy !req
340. Incredible.
Copy !req
341. Makes me look
really buffed.
Copy !req
342. It sure does.
Copy !req
343. Hi. I'm
hilary banks.
Copy !req
344. I'm your new
weathergirl.
Copy !req
345. Welcome aboard.
Copy !req
346. The last person
who had your job
Copy !req
347. was really special to me.
Copy !req
348. I'm going to miss Lou.
Copy !req
349. I thought
his name was Jack.
Copy !req
350. Whatever.
Copy !req
351. Wow.
Copy !req
352. I know.
Copy !req
353. Hi. I'm Trevor Collins,
Copy !req
354. and these are
my real teeth.
Copy !req
355. Wow.
Copy !req
356. I know.
Copy !req
357. By God,
Copy !req
358. you have incredible eyes.
Copy !req
359. Really?
Copy !req
360. Yes. I can see myself
in them.
Copy !req
361. Don't blink.
Copy !req
362. And to conclude
our homeless story,
Copy !req
363. I'll leave you
with something
Copy !req
364. a young girl
named Dorothy said.
Copy !req
365. "There's no place
like home,
auntie em.
Copy !req
366. There's no place
like home."
Copy !req
367. Trevor?
Copy !req
368. Well, on a brighter note,
Copy !req
369. Jack our weatherman died,
Copy !req
370. so it is now
with great pleasure
Copy !req
371. that I introduce
the newest addition
Copy !req
372. to the news in action team,
hilary banks.
Copy !req
373. How's it looking
for tonight?
Copy !req
374. Very promising.
Copy !req
375. Here in Southern California,
Copy !req
376. we're experiencing
a warm front
Copy !req
377. with increasing humidity.
Copy !req
378. That's right, girls.
It's a frizzy hair day.
Copy !req
379. Looking at the nation—
Copy !req
380. um...
Looking at the nation,

Copy !req
393. The rec center
for a lot of us—
Copy !req
394. it's like a home
away from home.
Copy !req
395. The people there
understand us
Copy !req
396. and keep us
out of trouble.
Copy !req
397. Hand me the Mike.
Copy !req
398. We'll pretend this
never happened.
Copy !req
399. Oh, my God.
Can we get a close-up?
Copy !req

at this moment.

Copy !req
403. if he can sign the petition
live on the air.
Copy !req
404. What?
Copy !req
405. And, of course,
the answer's yes.
Copy !req
406. Talk about a leader.
Copy !req
407. Talk about a man
who supports his community.
Copy !req
408. Ohh!
Copy !req
409. Thank you, Howard.
Copy !req
410. For those of you
that want to follow
Copy !req
411. in Howard's footsteps,
there's still time.

412. Sign a petition
at the L.A. rec center.
Copy !req

has run out. Trevor?
Copy !req
415. Don't let me be
Rodney, man!
Copy !req

419. Thank you for that
delightful forecast.
Copy !req

in my sleep.
Copy !req
430. That's nice.
Copy !req
431. With a big butcher knife.
Copy !req
432. Good for you.
Copy !req
433. Hilary,
your hair's on fire.
Copy !req
434. Thanks.
Copy !req
435. You know, will,
Copy !req
436. life doesn't get any
better than this.
Copy !req
437. I mean,
I have a great job,
Copy !req
438. I met a great guy,
Copy !req
439. and I have
the thinnest ankles
Copy !req
440. of any girl I know.
Copy !req
441. You're not mad at me
for messing up
your first day?
Copy !req
442. Of course not.
If it weren't
for you,
Copy !req
443. I wouldn't have
gotten the job.
Copy !req
444. Thanks a lot, hil.
I'm proud of you.
Copy !req
445. I'm kind of proud
of myself.
Copy !req
446. For the first time,
I know what it means
Copy !req
447. to be an
independent woman.
Copy !req
448. I think I'm going
to go back to my
little pool house
Copy !req
449. and toast myself
with a glass
of champagne.
Copy !req
450. Goodnight, hil.
