# Come on, now, get down #
# 1989 #
#The number, another summer #
# Get down #
# Sound of the funky drummer #
# Music hitting your heart #
# 'Cause I know you got soul #
# Brothers and sisters #
# Hey, listen if you're missing y'all #
# Swinging while I'm singing #
#Givin what you're getting #
# Knowing what I'm knowing #
#While the black band's sweating #
# In the rhythm rhymes rolling #
#Got to give us what we want #
# Ugh #
#Got to give us what we need #
# Hey #
# Our freedom of speech is freedom or death #
#We got to fight the powers that be #
# Fight the power #
#We got to fight the powers that be #
# As the rhythm's designed to bounce what counts #
# Is that the rhyme's designed to fill your mind #
# Now that you've realized the pride's arrived #
#We've got to pump the stuff that make you tough #
# From the heart it's a start #
# A work of art to revolutionize #
# Make a change, nothings strange #
# People, people we are the same #
# No, we're not the same #
# 'Cause we don't know the game #
#What we need is awareness #
#We can't get careless #
#You say what is this? #
# My beloved, let's get down to business #
# Mental self-defense of fitness #
# Bum rush the show #
#You got to go for what you know #
#To make everybody see #
# In order to fight the powers that be #
# Fight the power #
#We got to fight the powers that be #
# Come on, get down #
# Come on, come on, come on #
# Come on, get down #
# Come on, come on, come on #
# Fight the power #
#We got to fight the powers that be #
# Elvis was a hero to most #
# But he never meant shit to me #
#Ya see, straight out racist #
#The sucka was simple and plain #
# Motherfuck him and John Wayne #
# 'Cause I'm black and I'm proud, I'm ready #
# I'm hyped, plus I'm amped #
# Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamp #
#Sample a look back you look#
# And find nothin but rednecks #
# For 400 years if you check#
# Don't worry, be happy #
#Was a number one jam #
# Damn if I say it, you can slap me right here #
# Get it #
# Let's get this party started right #
# Right on #
# Come on #
#What we got to say #
# Power to the people, no delay #
# Make everybody see #

Wake up?

This is Mister Señor Love Daddy?
Your voice of choice?
The world's only 12-hour strong man on the air,
Here on We-Love radio, 108 FM?
The last on your dial, but first in your hearts,
and that's the truth, Ruth?
Here I am? Am I here?
Ya know it? It ya know?
This is Mister Señor Love Daddy
doing the nasty to ya ears, ya ears to the nasty?
I's only play da platters dat matter

and that's the truth, Ruth?
From the heart of Bed-Stuy,
you're listening to We-Love radio?
Doing the ying and the yang, the hip and the hop,
the stupid fresh thing, the flippity-flop?
Awoo!?
I have today's forecast for you?
Hot! Sss!
The color for today is black?
That's right, black?
So absorb these rays and save that heat for winter?
So wear that black and be involved?
Also today's temperature is rising over 100 degrees?
So that's a Jheri-curl alert.
That's right, Jheri-curl alert.
If you have one, stay inside,
or you'll have a permanent plastic helmet.
All right, we're going to say hello to Mister and Missus,
that's Mister and Missus.
Happy birthday to Big Red
and Miss Annie Mae, 100 today.
Stay out of this heat,
and you might live that long.
There's a water shortage,
so keep those showers to one minute.
Two, if you're with a friend.
Get on out there.
Damn! Whoo!
It is hot!
Get that pink slip.
So get up, get out!
That's what I'm talking about.
We don't want to see anybody lose their job
'cause nobody got no money as it is.
All right. Now we're going to talk about it.
We're going to rock'n'roll...
Good m-m-morning?
M-M-My name is Smiley?

Mookie? Why are you always bothering me when I'm sleeping...
Wake up, wake up?
Stop breathing down my neck?
Why should I wake up?
It's going to be hot, Jade?
Saturday's the only day I get to sleep late?
Damn?
Stop, Mookie? That's not funny?
Leave me alone when I'm sleeping?
You don't love Brother Mookie anymore?
I loves you, Jade?
I'll get a lock and keep your ass out of here?
Why don't you go to work, man, and leave me alone?
Later, got to get paid?
Yeah, brush your teeth?
I brushed my teeth?
Your breath stinks?
It's your upper lip?
What's up, Sal? How you doin there, boy?

Good morning, Sal? Vito? Pino?

[Yawns]
Vito, get a broom and sweep up front?
Huh?
Sweep up the front?

He's brain-dead, Pop, for years?
Both of you, shut up?

I didn't want to come anyway?
I hate this friggin place?
I detest it like a sickness?
You, you detest this place like a sickness?
That's like really hate, you know?
That's hate?
I didn't say that?
Oh, you didn't say that?
I just heard it? Am I going crazy?
Did I just hear that, Vito?
I mean, do you think you can do better?
No, I didn't think so?
This is a respectable business,
and there's nothing wrong with that?
I mean, if there's something wrong with that, tell me?
Is there something wrong with that?
There's nothing wrong? OK?
Do me a favor? Get a broom and sweep up?
Tell Vito?

At least civil?
I told you, I'm not going to baby-sit for you,
and that's it!
What are you talking about?
Yesterday you said you would?
Now today you're changing your mind?
No, I'm not changing...
¿Ay, Mommy, que muchojota?
Get off of me, please!

You can't do shit for me!
Yo tengo el derecho de salirte.
Right, right? You know it's not like that, Mommy?
I can do everything for you,

To his face?

He'll knock your goddamn ass off?
You talk shit now?
I'll drop him like a bad habit?
If Tyson dream about whippin my ass,
he better wake up and apologize?
Well, gentlemen, the way I see it,
if this hot weather continues,
it's going to melt the polar caps
and the whole wide world?
And all those parts that ain't water already
will surely be flooded?
You dumb ass, simple motherfucker!
Where you read that shit, eh?
The polar caps?
Don't worry about it?
When it happens, and I'm in my boat
and you black asses are drowning,
don't call for me to throw you no rope,
no lifesaver, or no nothing?
You 30 cent away from a quarter?
How the fuck you gonna get a boat?

Don't worry about it?
Goddamn right? Look at you?
You're raggedy as a roach,

Raggedy motherfucker! Don't worry about it?

I'll be back on my feet soon enough?
Look, raggedy-ass shoes!

Hey, forget that shit?
Damn, Sal, you're cheap, man?
Yo, Mook!
Mookie! How come ain't no brothers
up on the wall?
Man, ask Sal, all right?
Hey, Sal, how come ain't no brothers there?
You want brothers on the wall?
Get your own place?
You can put your brothers and uncles, nieces and nephews,
your stepfather, stepmother, whoever you want?
But this is my pizzeria?
American-Italians on the wall only?
Take it easy, Pop?
And you, hey, don't start with me today?
What?
Yeah, that might be fine, Sal,
but you own this?
Rarely do I see
any American-Italians eating in here?
All I see is black folks?
Since we spend much money here,
we do have some say?
You lookin for trouble?
Are you a troublemaker, is that what you are?
Yeah, I'm a troublemaker?
I'm making trouble?
You're a ball-breaker?
You're always coming in here
looking for trouble, aren't you?
Suppose I busted your head? How would you??
Mookie, you want to get your friend out of here?
What, you gonna kick me out now?
I'm not? You're kicking yourself out?
We want some brothers up on the wall...
You know, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela,
Michael Jordan! Tomorrow!
Mookie, get him out?
I'm trying! Take your slice?
I know you paid for it?
All right, you're kicking me out?
Beat me on the head and kick me out?

Look, boycott Sal's! Boycott Sal's?
I got your boycott swinging?
Boycott Sal's?
Yo, what you laughin at?
Mookie, I paid for my slice?
I spend much money in there!
What are you trying to do?
I want brothers on the wall?
You're fucking my shit up?
It's between me and Sal?
You're fucking me up?
I ain't trying to fuck you up? I'm sorry?
You're sorry?
In a week, it'll be squashed?
A week?
Yeah? Yeah?
All right?
Bet?
Mook??
Stay black!
This guy's your friend, right?
If I'm wrong, tell me?
He's my friend?
If he don't behave,
I don't want him here anymore?
I can't do nothing?
Talk brother talk to him?
Brother talk?
People are free to do whatever the hell they want?
Free? What the hell are you talking about?
Free? There's no free here?
I'm the boss?
No freedom? I'm the boss?
You want freedom? There, that's free?
Take that order out? He's got an order?
Let's go? Come on! Get to work!
You're standing here doing nothing?
You're afraid of the goddamn oven?
Hit the oven!
Is this the address?
Is that the address?
Is that what he just asked me?
Mookie?
Come here, doctor?
Mayor, I got to go? I'm working?
Come here, doctor?
This is the Mayor talking?

M-M-M-M-Malcolm?
M-M-M-M-Martin?
Shit?
Seen your brother this morning?
Yeah, on his way to work, I hope?
This might take a little bit of time, Mother Sister?
I got nowhere to go?
We haven't had a good sit-down for a long while?
Tender-headed runs in my family?
Are you tender-headed?
Yeah? Me, too?
I don't fool with it?
That's why only you can touch it?
Ouch!
I'm sorry? The comb got caught?
Be gentle, child? Mother Sister's old?
Yes, Mother Sister?
Ooh-whee!
I didn't know you had such beautiful hair?
There's a lot you don't know?
I'm not stopping? I'm on my way?
Mother Sister, why are you so cruel to the Mayor?
It isn't right?
I ain't studying no Mayor?
He reminds me of my least favorite peoples...
my tenant and my ex-husband?
Goddamn! Bless his soul?

The next time he hits you, fuck him up!
Whoa! Whoa! Yo, hey, Mook?
I appreciate this concern,
but I don't think it's any of your business, Mook?
Yeah, but you need to kick his ass?
Smiley, not now?
If l had a brother like him,

Smiley!
Mook, you don't got a brother like him?

If you did, you wouldn't know what to do with him?
He's my brother?

You're serious?
Yeah! I'll fuck your prick two times!
Two times!
Who told you to be in my neighborhood?
I own this brownstone?
Who told you to buy a brownstone in my neighborhood?
What do you want to live
in a black neighborhood for, anyway?
I understand this is a free country?
A man can live wherever he wants?
Free country? I should fuck you up for saying that?
Yo, man? Your Jordans are fucked up!
Might as well throw them shits out? They're broke?
They looked good before he messed them up?
He was even talking about your mama...
Shit, you used to be so fine!
How much they cost?
$100!
$108 with tax?
You're lucky I got a loving heart?
Next time, cross the street quick?
I'm out of here?
Break his feet!
You should buy me another pair!
Black Panther'd whip his ass!
You're lucky I'm a righteous black man!
Otherwise you'd be in serious trouble! Serious!
Let's fuck him up?
Move back to Massachusetts!
I was born in Brooklyn?
- No! - Oh! - Man!
Get outta here!
I should send Vito with you all the time?
Yeah? No more 90-minute deliveries
Around the corner?
I work hard like everybody else here, OK?
You know that's true, Pino?
Vito, come here?
Come here?
What's going on between you two?
You boyfriend and girlfriend?
What did we just talk about?
What?
What did we just talk about?
What you talking about?
Smack him?
Any smacking around here, I'll do?
You going to listen to him tell you to smack me,
your older brother?
Remember who you are?
Your name is Vito Frangone,
not Vito Muhammad?
OK?
I'd love for you to stay out of my business?
Stop putting these thoughts into my brother's head, OK?
Look, I don't play that Muhammad shit, all right?
What Muhammad shit?
Look?? Don't fuck me, all right?
Oh, man?
Fuck, man?
I hate this place? I hate this place?
What a waste?
As I was saying
before we were so rudely interrupted
by New York City's finest...
What was you saying?
The motherfucker wasnt saying shit?
Yeah? Look at that?
Look at what?
It's a goddamn shame?
What's a goddamn shame?
Sweet Dick Willie?
That's my name?
Do I have to spell it out?
Make it plain?
OK, but listen up?
I'm going to break it down?
Let it be broke?
Can you dig it?
It's dug?
Look at those Korean motherfuckers across the street?
Bet they haven't been off the boat a year
before they opened their own place?
Right? It's been about a year?
A motherfuckin year off the motherfuckin boat,
and they got a business in our neighborhood?
A good business,
occupying a building that had been boarded up
for longer than I care to remember,
and I've been here a long time?
Yeah, a long time?
Hear, boy?
Now, for the life of me??
You know, I can't figure this out?
Either them Korean motherfuckers are geniuses??
Or you black asses are just plain dumb?
Fuck you?
It's got to be because we're black?
Ain't no other explanation?
You know it's true?
They're always keeping the black man to about shit!
Oh, oh! You motherfuckers hold that shit down?
I'm tired of that old excuse, that shit?
I swear, man,
I will be one happy fool
when we open our own business
right here in our neighborhood?
I swear to God,
I'll be first to spend what little money I got?
You motherfuckers are always talking
that old Keith Sweat shit...
"I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that?"
You ain't gonna do nothing?
You're gonna sit on this corner?
When you going to get your business?
Just like I thought?
You ain't going to do a goddamn thing?
But I'm going to go give them Koreans
more of my money?
Out of my way?
It's Miller time, motherfuckers?
Old Moosehead fuckers telling me what to do?
Coconut, you got nerve?
You got off the boat, too? Leave me alone?
Kung Fu, give me one of them damn beers?
No more free beer?
Don't push me, baby?
No more free beer?
Don't start no shit?
Mr? Sweet Dick Willie?
Right? That's my name?
It's a motherfuckin shame?
Man, ain't that a bitch?
Here, Doctor? What's your name?
Eddie?
How old are you?
10?
What makes Sammy run?
My name is Eddie?
What makes Sammy run?
My name is Eddie Lovell?
Relax? I want you to go to the store for me?
What'll it cost?
How would I know?
What am I buying?
Eddie, you're too smart for your own britches?
How much do you want
to go to the store for the man?
50 cents?
You got a deal?
I want you to get me a quart of beer?
Miller High Life?
Say it's for your bedridden, old granddad?
Now, go? Go?
What is wrong with him?
He ain't got no money for nobody?
Look at this here, man?
Cut this shit out?
What makes you the Mayor of this block?
Shit, he's self-appointed?
Leave the man alone?
Shut up!
Look, you all leave me the hell alone?
I ain't going out like that, man?
You walk around this block like you own it?
For real?
You're so old, you're like a fossil?
You're a bum? You're an old drunk zero?
Now what do you got to say?
What you know about me?
Can't even pee straight, nary a one of you?
What you know about anything?
Unless you...
Unless you done stood in the door??
And listened to your five hungry children
crying for bread,
and you can't do anything about it?
Your woman standing there...
You can't even look her in the eye?
Unless you done that,
you don't know my pain, my hurt, my feelings?
You don't know shit!
Don't call me bum?
Don't call me a drunk?
You don't got the sense God give a billy goat!
Don't call me nothing!
It's disrespectful?
Your mamas and papas raised you better?
I hope you finished your little soliloquy
'cause I been peeing straight for years?
Understand what I'm saying?
And you're right?
I wouldn't stand around
listening to my children go hungry?
I'd be getting a job,
anything to feed them?
You're right? I don't want to know your pain?
I don't care?
You did this to yourself?
Every day I see you walk
up and down this block, inebriated?
Never sober, but that's what D-A stands for...
Da Mayor... drunk ass?
Come on!
This mars getting me mad!
He don't get no respect!
You'll never get respect here, boy!
I respect those who respect themselves!
Ahmad!
Come on, man!
Tina, I know it's been four days?
I'm a working man?
I work, too, and I seem to make time?
What do you want me to do, huh?
Spend some time with me and Hector!
I want you to try and make this relationship work?
If not, I'd rather not be bothered with your ass?
Mookie, you're too, too tired?
OK, all right, damn?
I'll be over sometime today?
You always say later!
Later when I get off work?
Bring some ice cream? I'm burning up?
Mookie, do you love me?
Do I love you?
Mookie, get off the phone!
Be off in a second, all right, Sal?
Do I love you?
I dedicated a record
on Love Daddy's show to you?
So what?
How's anybody going to call in, Mookie?
All right!
One time? You probably wasted??
If that ain't love, you're crazy?
Are you deaf or what?
Pino, I'm talking on the phone?
I think I see that?
Tina, I got to go?
Yeah, Pino's an asshole?
See you later today?
Later!
Everybody happy?
[Ring]
Sal's Famous?
Yeah? Yeah, hold it?
OK, two large anchovy and pepperoni?
OK? Just hold on one second?
See, Daddy? Mookie's fucking talking on the phone,
people are trying to call in orders?
He's making us lose business?
Mookie!
20 minutes?
How come niggers are so stupid?
If you see a nigger, kick his ass?
Fuck you? Stay off the phone?
Hey, Mookie? Forget about it?

Who's your favorite movie star?
Eddie Murphy?
Who's your favorite rock star?
Prince?
You're a Prince freak?
Boss? Bruce?

All you talk about is nigger this and nigger that?
Your favorite people are niggers?
It's different? Magic, Eddie, Prince??
Are not niggers?
I mean, they're not black,
I mean... Let me explain myself?
They're... They're not really black?
I mean, they're black, but not really?
They're more than black? It's different?
Yeah? To me, it's different?
Deep down you wish you were black?
Get the fuck out of here?
Go ahead, laugh?
Your hair's kinkier than mine?
What does that mean?
And you know what they say about dark Italians?
You know, I been listening?? And reading...

I've been reading about your leaders?
Reverend Al "Mister 'Do" Sharpton?
Jesse "Keep hope alive"??
That's fucked up?
"Keep hope alive?"
That's fucked? Don't talk about Jesse?
And even the other guy, what's his name?
Faraman, Fairakan...
Minister Farakhan?
Right? Sorry?
Minister Farakhan?
Anyway, Minister Farakhan always talks about the so-called day??
When the black man will rise?
What does he say?
"We will one day rule the earth
as we did in our glorious past"?
That's right?
What past? What did I miss?
We started civilization?
Man, keep dreaming, man?
Then you woke up!

And that's the double truth, Ruth!
Sal, can you do me a favor?
That depends, Mookie?
Can you pay me now?
I can't do that?
Sal, just this once?
Can't you do me a solid, man?
Not till tonight when we close?
Sal, I want to get paid now?
You know you get paid tonight when we close?
We're still open, OK?
If l pay you now, you won't show tonight?
That's a bet?

All right?
Oh, shit!
Let me check it out?
That's the hype!
Newest latest?
Let me tell you the story of right hand/left hand?
It's a tale of good and evil?
Hate?
It was with this hand that Cain iced his brother?
Love?
These five fingers,
they go straight to the soul of man?
The right hand...
the hand of love?
The story of life is this??
Static?
One hand is always fighting the other hand,
and the left hand is kicking much ass?
I mean, it looks like the right hand... love... is finished?
But hold on? Stop the presses?
The right hand's coming back?
He got the left hand on the ropes now?
That's right? Yeah? Ooh!
It's a devastating right, and hate is hurt?
Down! Ooh! Ooh!
Left hand, hate, K? O? 'd by love?
If I love you, I love you?
But if I hate you??
There it is... love and hate?

Sometimes I think you're more concerned about him than me,
and I'm your brother?
That's real smart? Sal pays you?
That's why you should work?
I work? Slavery's over?
My name ain't Kunta Kinte?

Take care of your responsibilities, all right?

Why don't he leave me alone?
Shut up?
It's too hot for that?
That's why I asked you?
We don't have money for anything?
I'm beat?
Daddy, you know, I've been thinking?
Maybe we should sell this place?
Get out while we're still ahead??
And alive?
You really think you know what's best for us, Pino?
I mean, couldn't we sell this
and open up a new one in our own neighborhood?
There's too many pizzerias already there?
Maybe we could try something different?
What am I going to do?
That's all I know?
I been here 25 years? Where am I going?
I'm sick of niggers?
It's like I come to work??
It's "Planet of the Apes?"
I don't like being around them?
They're animals?
Why you got so much anger in you?
Why? I'll tell you why?
My friends... They laugh at me?
They laugh right in my face?
They tell me, "Go to Bed-Stuy?
Go feed the moulies?"
Do your friends put money in your pocket, Pino?
Food on your table?
They pay your rent, a roof over your head?
Huh?
They're not your friends?
If they were your friends,
they wouldn't laugh at you?
Pop, what can I say?
I don't want to be here?
They don't want us here?
We should stay in our own neighborhood,
in Bensonurst,
and niggers in theirs?
I never had no trouble with these people?
I sat in this window??
All I see is little kids get old?
And I seen the old people get older?
Yeah, sure, some of them don't like us,
but most of them do?
I mean, for chrissake, Pino, they grew up on my food?
On my food?
I'm very proud of that?
You may think it's funny,
but I'm very proud of that?
Look, what I'm trying to say, son, is, uh??
Sal's Famous Pizzeria is here to stay?
I'm sorry?
I'm your father, and I love you?
I'm sorry, but??
But that's the way it is?

She's escorting me back to Sal's?
I'm just going to get a slice?
You can't? Not today?
I'm organizing a boycott of Sal's Famous?
What did he do?
You know them pictures he got on the wall of fame?
So?
Notice something about them?
No, Buggin Out, I haven't?
You're wasting my time?
Leave that shit alone?
You really should? I'm gone?
I'll see you there?
Buggin Out, how you been?
Every single one of them pictures is somebody Italian?
And??
We want black people?
Did you ask Sal?
Yeah, I asked him?
We want nobody in there,
nobody spending good money in Sal's,
until we get black pictures on the wall?
What good will that do?
If you tried hard,
you could direct your energies more usefully?
You got to be down? You ain't?
I'm down, but I'm down for something positive in the community?
Are you down for that?
Jade??
Jade, I still love you anyway?
Yeah, I still love you, too, Buggin Out?
Later?
Man?
You're pushing it, Mookie?
You're really pushing it?
I don't pay good money

Keep it up, you'll be in the street

About time, Pop?
Jade?
How you doin, Jade?
Where you been?
Just working hard? Keeping busy?

Hey, Pop? Stop lying?

Regular slice?

You ought to be shamed of yourself?
Ha ha? That boy's just scared to death?
What happened...
I was walking, minding my business?
I seen your son about to get hit by the car,
so I dashed out?
I knocked him down
to keep us both from getting hit?
I saved two lives today... his and mine?
Eddie, is that the truth?
Eddie, you hear me talking to you?
I'm talking to you, boy?
He gonna be fine, miss?
Mommy, Mommy!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Get upstairs now!
Your father gonna wear out your behind?

He's already scared to death?
I appreciate you helping my Eddie,
but I'll have nobody question how I raise him?
You're right, miss?
You're right?
I don't want to sound like a jerk,
but can I say something, Jade?
Yeah, Sal?
You got the biggest eyes I've ever seen?
They jump out of your head?

Thanks, Sal?
Don't even mention it?
It was delicious?
I got to talk to you?
Come on? Let's go?
Jade, don't forget to come back soon, OK?
Hey, Mookie? Take it easy?
You're going to bust her arm?
I don't want you in Sal's no more?
Mookie, what? Stop tripping?
Read my lips? Don't see Sal?
What are you worked up about?
The way Sal looks at you?
- He's being nice? - Nice?
- He's completely innocent? - Innocent?
You heard me?
Sal just wants to hide the salami?
You're really crude, Mookie?
Do not come in Sal's anymore?
You are not welcome?
You got a lot of nerve?
I'll tell you one last time?
Stop playing big brother to me?
I'm a grown woman!
You can't pay your rent, and you're lecturing me?
That makes no sense?
Oh, it doesn't, huh?
You got $250 a week?
I'm getting paid?
Peanuts?
In a while, I'll be making a move?
Yeah, when?
Don't worry?
When, Mookie?
Don't worry about it?
Don't come here no more?
We're not talking about that?
I'm tired of supporting a grown woman, OK?
I'm tired of supporting a grown man, OK?
When are you going to pack up and go?
Don't come in Sal's no more?
And no more pizza, either?
I don't care if you fire me
this exact fucking moment?
If you're saying
what I'm thinking you're saying,
you better not say it?
You hear this?
Do me a favor? Leave Jade alone?
You know, Mookie, not for nothin,
but if you were just a little taller,
I'd kick your ass for what you're thinking?
As a matter of fact,
I should kick your ass on principle alone?
Here? You got a delivery?
This the right address?
What is this??
Yeah? It's the right address?
That's the right address?
I wrote it myself?
Sometimes you make mistakes,
and I deliver fucking pizzas
to the wrong fucking address?
I don't make mistakes?
You don't make mistakes?
Hurry back, OK?
Don't get lost? We're still open?
Make a pizza, huh?
Mr? Mayor?
I saw what you did?
That was foolish but brave?
That child owes you his life?
Wasn't trying to be a hero?
I just seen what was happening,
and I reacted... didn't even think?
Probably wouldn't have done it
if l had thought?
Da Mayor's getting old?
Ain't run like that in years?
Went from first to home on a bunt single?
Scored the winning run?
Two outs? Bottom of the ninth?
August 1, 1939? Snow Hill, Alabama?
Mud Cat Bones was the pitcher?
He hated my guts?
He come down off that mound,
and I took off
like white lightning up a black snake's ass?
Maybe I, uh??
Maybe I ought to be a hero more often?
Maybe you shouldn't?
Don't get happy?
This changes nothing between you and me?
You did a good thing?
Mother Sister just thanks you?
I want to thank you?
You're welcome?
Delivery from Sal's Famous Pizzeria?
Is it hot?
I've never delivered a cold pizza?
Come here?
You think you're slick, Tina?
How else could I get you up here?
I haven't seen you all week?
I'm working? Making money?
You forgot the ice cream again?
I forgot?
Your memory's getting ridiculous?
I got things on my mind?
I really wanted some ice cream?
I'll run out and get some?
No, no? That's out? You won't come back?
I can't be staying long?
How long?
Long enough to do the nasty?
Come on, Mookie? That's out?
First of all, it's too hot?
If you think I'll let you get some,
put your clothes on and leave,
and I won't see you again,
you're bugging?
I'll see you tomorrow?
Yeah, right?
So no nasty, huh?
No?
Something else?
What?
Trust me?
Last time I trusted you, we got a son?
Remember him?
His name's Hector?
You saying I'm a bad father?
On the strength?
Let me talk to you?
What? What?
Over here?
Tina, take your clothes off?
I already told you
it's too fucking hot to make love?
It's too fucking hot?
Why are you always cursing?
I don't fucking curse that much?
What the hell you mean?
All you do is curse?
Anyway, no rawness is jumping off tonight?
All right? That's it?
No rawness?
No? No rawness?
Why's it always like that
when you come over?
It's not always like that?
It's always... What are you doing?
I'm not cursing?
Mookie? Come on?
I mean it? I'm not playing?
Don't be so anxious?
That's right? Take it off?
You're sweating?
Of course I'm sweating?
It's only 100 degrees in here?
Look, freeze? Don't move?
I'll be right back?
What do you mean you'll be right back?
Where are you going?
I'll be right back?
Why you got me standing on the bed?
Where you going?
How's my son, Hector?
Honey, do you hear that?
He wants to know how you are doing?
And he has the straight face of asking about it?
Sinverguenza.
Good for nothing?
Callejero.
Que se la pasa por la calle... -
English! English!
I want my son speaking English?
Get out of my kitchen?
Bad enough his name's Hector?
Get out of my kitchen?
I don't want to hear anything?
Out, I said?
Yes, children?
This is the cool-out corner?
We're slowing it down
for all the lovers in the house?
I'll be giving you all the help you need?
Musically, that is?
This shit is cold?
Supposed to be cold? It's an ice cube?
Later for your shit?
Mira.
What?
You don't got a forehead?
You got a eight-head?
Mookie, you're full of shit?
You got one of them Sade foreheads?
Fuck you?
Goddamn? Big-ass forehead?
I need an iceberg??
Rather than this ice cube?
Thank God for lips?
Thank God for the neck?
Thank God for kneecaps?
Thank God for elbows?
Thank God for thighs?
Thank God for the right nipple?
Thank God for the left nipple?
Feels good?
Ah? You likes? You likes?
Amen?
I got to be going?
You better come back?
I'll be back tonight?
You better, 'cause I'll kick your ass?
Oops? I got to be back then?
All right?
Get out of here?
I got to go?
Bye?
I'm not leaving yet?
Get out of here?
All right? Later?
Later?
Just out of curiosity,
how long you sticking around here?
You mean tonight?
I mean the neighborhood?
I figure about 50 years?
'Cause I'm going into real estate?
I'll put up a high-rise in the neighborhood?
Yeah? Lot of people want to move here?
Why not?
You want a condominium?
A couple of straws, Mr? Trump?
Trump's Pizza?
I heard of that?
That's Trump's Plaza?
Get out of here?
Take care, Salvatore?
Pino, take the soft drinks from the back
and load up here?
OK, Pop?
You want me to deliver faster,
I need a rocket?? Something?
I can't be running?
The cheese lands on one side?
Mookie, I didn't say nothing?
You must have a guilty conscience?
I'm not guilty of anything?
You're guilty of something?
Otherwise you wouldn't be saying that?
Come on, Sal?
Where we going?
Oh, shit?
Vito, give me a hand?
Come on?
What the fuck's the matter?
Vito, I want you to listen to me?
I'm your brother?
I smack you around once in a while,
but I'm still?? Your brother?
So what, Pino?
So fucking what?
I love you, man?
I'm listening? I'm listening?
I want you to listen?
Jesus Christ, Pino?
I said I'm listening?
Vito, black?? White? No?
No, no, no? No?
What the hell you talking about?
Are you listening to me?
Stop busting my balls?
I said I'm listening?
Mookie's not to be trusted?
I trust him, Pino?
They can't be trusted?
First time you turn your back??
Boom? Aah!
The spear in the back?
How do you know this?
How do you know, man?
I know? I read?
I never seen you read nothing
in your fucking life?
Read your history?
It's historical?
He, them?? They're not to be trusted?
What do you want me to do?
Be on fucking guard?
Mookie has Pop conned,
so we got to look out for him?
You don't know what you're saying?
That's exactly what I'm saying?
[Sal] Vito! Pino! Let's go!
We'll be right there, Pop?
One minute?
You better listen to what I say?
I'll rip you? I'll fuck you up?
You know something, Pino?
You don't know everything you think you know?
You think you know, but you don't know?
Mookie, he listens to me? You don't, man?
You fucking don't?
You'll fucking stab me in the back, man?

I almost had to bust him in the head today?

You know something?
There's nothing like a family
in business working together?
I'm going to rename the place?
I'm going to call it
Sal and Sons' Famous Pizzeria?
Why not?
You guys are going to take it over someday, right?
And, Mookie??
Mookie, I want to tell you
that there's always going to be a place for you
right here at Sal's Famous Pizzeria
because you’ve always been like a son to me?

Mookie, they killed him?
They killed Radio Raheem!
It's murder?
They did it again, just like Michael Stewart?
Murder! Eleanor Bumpers! Murder!
Damn, man! It ain't safe
in our own fucking neighborhood!
Never was? Never will be?
We ain't gonna stand for this shit no more, Sal?
Ain't gonna stand for no fucking police, punk!
It's as plain as day?
They didn't have to kill the boy?
[Smiley Sobbing]
You do what you gotta do?
Fuck that, man!
Listen, listen, listen? Good people, please?
Let's all go home?
Somebody's gonna get hurt?
Yeah? You, boy!
If we don't stop this now,

Sal had nothing to do with what the cops did?
One of the police was black!
Leave him alone?
We'll get you and them three stooges, Sal?
Go on, Mr? Sal?
You see how they had him in a choke hold?
I knew that choke hold would kill him!
You might have saved him!
A fucking radio!
He died because of a fucking radio!
He wanted pictures on the wall, and he died!
What you got to say, Sal?
Your son called the cops!
Get the fuck out of here, man!
Somebody's getting hurt!

What can I say?
Say what I can?
I saw it, but I didn't believe it?
I didn't believe it, what I saw?
Are we going to live together?
Together are we going to live?
This is your Mister Señor Love Daddy
talking to you from We-Love radio,
108 FM on your dial,
and that's the triple truth, Ruth?
Today's weather?
Hot!
Wake up!
Fuck!
My money? Shit!
Where are you going?
To get my money?
Don't try that shit, OK?
You're going to run out,
and I won't see your ass for another week?
It's not like that?
You don't give a fucking shit about me,
and you don't give a shit about your son?
I care about you and my son?
Why don't you be a man?
I am a man?
Then act like a man?
Why don't you be a fucking man, Mookie?
I'm so tired of your shit?
Why do we have to go over this again?
Because you don't fucking listen, Mookie!
If you listen to me,
I wouldn't have to repeat myself
like a fucking radio!
What kind of mother you are
using fucking language like that?
What kind of mother am I?
Your ass isn't even here!
Get another vocabulary, right?
Get a fucking life?
Yeah? Look??
Look what?
I'll be back?
Don't leave, Mookie? Don't leave?
I'm tired of this shit?
You walk out that door, that's it?
All right?
I have to get my money from Sal? I'll be back?
Your shit's to the curb, and I'm tired of it?
You need to step off
with your stupid-ass self?
You need to get a fucking life, Mookie,
because the one you got is not working!
I ain't going to deal with this shit no more!
Shit? Fucking ass, stupid ass,
fucking pendejo.
Shit? Fuck? Fucking shit?
Good morning?
Is it a good morning?
Yes, indeed?
You almost got yourself killed last night?
I've done that before?
Where did you sleep?
I didn't?
I hope the block is still standing?
We're still standing?
What do you want?
I want my money? I want to get paid?
You don't work here no more?
I want my money?
Your money couldn't begin to pay
for the window you broke?
Motherfuck a window? Radio Raheem is dead?
I know he's dead? I was here, remember?
He's dead because of his buddy?
That cocksucker started this shit?
He's responsible for that kid's death?
He wanted to close me,
and you stood there like a fuck
and watched them burn me down!
I also watched the cops murder Radio Raheem?
You'll get it all from the insurance anyway, Sal?
What the fuck's wrong with you?
This ain't about money?
I could give a fuck about money?
You see this place?
I built this fucking place!
With my bare fucking hands!
Every light socket, every piece of tile?
Me! With these fucking hands!
You know what that means?
It means pay me my motherfucking money?
That's what it means, Sal?
OK, Mookie?
How much do I owe you?
My salary is 250? 250 a week?
1!!
That's 2!!
That's 3!!
That's 4!!
And that's 5!
You got $500? You're a rich fucking man?
Are you happy? You happy?
He's got 500 fucking dollars!
He's a big man!
He's a rich fucking man!
He's never going to have any more trouble!
Not Mookie!
He's fucking rich!
Who the fuck you yelling at?
You're wealthy, Mookie?
You're a real fucking Rockefeller?
You got your fucking pay? Now leave me alone?
Sal, my salary's 250 a week, all right?
I owe you 50 bucks?
Keep it?
You keep it?
No, you keep it?
You keep it?
I don't believe this shit?
Believe it?
Are you sick?
I'm hot as a motherfucker? I'm all right, though?
Well, they say it's even going to get hotter today?
What are you going to do with yourself?
Make that money? Get paid?
Sal, I got to go see my son
If it's all right with you?
Hey, Mook. It's the Mook man.
I see you walking. Go home to your kid.
Now the news and weather.
Our mayor has commissioned a blue-ribbon panel...
"to get to the bottom
of last night's disturbance.
The City of New York
will not let property be destroyed by anyone."
His Honor plans to visit our block today.
He should hook up with our own Da Mayor,
buy him a beer.
Your Love Daddy says register to vote.
The election is coming up.
There's no end in sight from this heat wave,
so today, the cash money word is chill.
That's right. C-h-i-l-I.
When you hear "chill," call in at 555-LOVE,
and you’ll win cash money, honey.
This is Mister Señor Love Daddy
coming at you from what's last on your dial
but first in your hearts,
and that's the quintessential truth, Ruth.
The next record goes out to Radio Raheem.
We love you, brother.
