The only thing on my mind was that I might not ever see my baby again.

Aw.

What about me?

Get a life.

He has one, Freddie.

Ooh, does that mean we're hitting the mattress tonight?

- Yes. When?

Kidding!

In the midst of all this mess, you didn't see no movie stars, huh?

No, but the cops almost got a mug shot of me.

Up against the car.

Roof on the hands of the car.

- Other way around, sir. - What other-

Oh. Hands on the roof of the car.

It's a convertible, man.

Hands on the roof.

- Where is the- - Put your hands on the roof.

- That's the roof. - There, there.

- Lower. - That's it? Lower?

The roof is up here.

- Right there? - Right there.

Your behavior is argumentative, erratic and suspicious.

- Sarge- - So is yours!

He was kicking tires. Let it go.

Here, put� Back on the roof.

- Lower. - It's low, it's low.

- Here, I'm gonna cuff you. - All right.

- Stay calm. - Hey, man�

- You don't know how calm I am. - Yeah. Calm. Here.

- Let me help. I got you. - Here. Okay.

Sarge, they're ordering us off duty.

Off duty? What do you mean?

- Stay where you are. - Man, I ain't moved.

- The hands is on the roof. - Hands on the roof.

- You got me. - Okay, good.

You, hand it to me.

- Sergeant Dow. - Yeah?

- Get back to the station immediately. - What?

- Off duty? - There's been an emergency.

- We just went on duty. - Report back�

We're arresting someone. I just cuffed him.

Well, I cuffed one hand.

I cuffed his dangerous hand.

But it's against procedure.

- It's an order, Dow! - Sorry, sir.

What the hell is going on?

You don't understand.

Our lives are threatened every day.

I guess that makes us brothers.

Those cops let you go?

Police command wanted their boys out of South Central.

Yeah, they could have gotten really hurt.

You're not aware of the pressures policemen deal with.

My dad was shot in the streets before these riots.

They have a hard job.

If Chief Willie Williams walked in, I'd kiss him.

Yeah, kiss them so they kick you back.

You can't trust anybody in a uniform.

Now, that's true, because I can't stand my mailman.

He's always crushing my catalogues.

Lena, it's not the uniform. It's the person behind the uniform.

Yo, you want a woman like Lena, you can't play the shy role.

She is one of the Almighty's finest creations,

but, and I repeat, she is also a sophomore.

Yo, man.

A college sophomore ain't no different than a high school senior.

Bust this.

We are acting like this is over.

People are angry. We'll take it to federal court.

Which is, Ms. Lena, why you should vote

to elect the officials that choose your judges.

Like that's gonna change anything.

Like complaining is gonna change anything.

It won't happen twice.

Twice? This is the hundredth time!

They've had�

What is it, honey? Can I help you?

The men's room?

That way.

Thank you.

Right on.

Greetings, y'all.

- Hey! - What's happening?

And may peace, like incense from Ancient Egypt,

be an aromatic to your higher consciousness.

I got back from my summer on the Nile.

By way of Trenton.

Anybody seen Freddie?

My king!

What happened to you?

They're just clothes!

I knew you was going to law school, but damn!

You were my love goddess, my earth woman, my Aphrodite.

What does this mean?

It means she's giving up them hippy-dippy space boots

and planting her feet firmly on terra firma.

Translation, Inspector Gadget?

It means she's transcended to a new degree of social interaction,

a level unto which you have yet to escalate.

Coming through. Got coffee, hot and black.

- Like my man. - Yeah.

And now I want some gossip to match.

Well, Dwayne and Whitley were telling us about their honeymoon.

Oh! I hope I didn't miss nothing good,

'cause me and Velma's always looking for fresh inspiration.

You are so nasty.

I ain't got nothing that good. We were in Los Angeles during the riot.

Oh, you were with the looters? Oh, my goodness.

Stole a bride on your wedding and a VCR on your honeymoon.

Dwayne�

Where are you, Dwayne?

God!

How could this happen to me?

Now, did you get that hibachi?

I thought you wanted a waffle iron.

It doesn't matter. Hurry up. We're double-parked.

You said I could get a boogie board.

You already got two.

Yeah, but I don't have day-glow pink to go with my flip-flops.

All right.

Make it quick, dear.

My feet are killing me.

I told you to steal some shoes.

Boy, you'd think after all these years

they would finally make one of these in a real size.

- We can't do this. - Are you kidding?

With what I spent in this place, they owe me.

Look at this tennis skirt.

You don't play tennis.

I do.

If you ask me, this is the way to shop.

No more annoying salesgirls.

I hate it when they breathe down your neck.

Hello! Do I look like a shoplifter?

We all know who does the stealing.

Hey, I hope they have a riot every week.

Really. My wardrobe could use it.

They should stop complaining. They bring it on themselves.

They who?

Who is they?

What about you?

What are you doing about the problem?

You tell 'em, honey.

Don't you let any ugly old women standing around yapping bring you down.

They're a disgrace to our race.

You know, not everyone's as classy as us.

That's right, honey.

Hey, bruh. I'm a little lost. Can you help me out?

We all are till you join the revolution.

I'm down, but can you tell me how to get to Beverly Hills?

Lie, cheat, exploit anybody who ain't you.

I'll show the way if you give me a lift.

No problem. Hop in.

And a friend or two?

- Okay, cool. - Okay, brothers, rock and roll!

Aye, aye, aye! What the hell?

Hey, man, what are you doing?

Welcome to the revolution. We liberating the merchandise.

How about liberating your brain cells? What will this prove?

That my mom and dad can finally have furniture in the living room.

That's not right.

My motto is, "Take a love seat, not a life."

It's free! Free at last!

Not free! You take, you pay.

Mr. Sung, you going to join the Dodgers?

Why you come here? Why look for trouble?

Yo, this is Mr. Sung.

Gets rich by keeping the Black man on hooch.

- Not true. - I cash your check.

- I give you credit. - Where's the police?

They're burning down my store.

Where you going with that?

We're needy.

- You need those six-packs? - Yeah.

I work hard for what I have.

Not you. Give me that.

It ain't right what y'all are doing.

I came from the ghetto, too, just like you.

Man, get out of my way.

You call this Black power?

I see video. Police officers guilty! Guilty!

What about the Korean grocer that killed Latasha Harlins,

because she thought she was stealing?

I'm not Korean! I'm Chinese!

It's the same thing, man!

Come on. I know what you're thinking.

It was messed up, but this ain't gonna bring her back.

- Give me this. - That's mine. I just stole that.

This is for Latasha!

Where you gonna shop at tomorrow?

How you gonna hold up your heads?

Hey, no! Where you going?

That's a rental car! I have to pick up my wife!

I cannot believe you, Dwayne.

Seriously, though, if I was there,

if that were me, I would have gone off.

Lena, seriously, though, we got a billion dollars in damage,

because brothers was ripping up their own neighborhoods.

That because of 12 years of Reaganomics

and four years of beating around the Bush.

No, no, no.

This goes far beyond Reaganomics, okay?

The real problem is white people.

They don't understand us

and they don't want to understand us.

You should tell my mother.

Her mother's white.

And my ex-wife.

His ex-wife is white.

Oh, that's wonderful.

I have a cousin like that.

I wasn't talking about your mother, Freddie.

Well, who were you talking about?

Every other single white person except for my mother?

I guess white people don't have the monopoly on bigotry, do they?

If we had strong Black leaders, none of this would have happened.

We do have strong black leaders, Maxine Waters,

Jesse Jackson, Brother Malcolm.

Man, you need to check an obituary column.

Malcolm died in 1965.

Ooh! But I cannot wait to see Denzel in that movie

with his fine, red-headed, bow-tie-wearing self.

I'm glad you see him as another brother for you to push up on, Gina.

Have you� even�

read that book?

What were you saying?

Miss Angela D.

Miss Lena, you need to channel this passion and frustration

into the ballot box.

I am tired of voting for the lesser of two evils, Whitley.

- When did you vote? - Yeah.

The last time we held an election, you were what, about 14 years old?

Be that as it may�

Sister, you need to vote.

Listen to this man.

We need to command the respect of all political parties.

Hey now.

That's why I'm a card-carrying member of the Republican party.

Republican?

- My man. All right. - Come on.

There's no use in influencing folks who aren't gonna be in office.

While y'all are on the Titanic with those Democrats,

I'm voting for the winning ticket.

People, don't listen to this dunderhead!

It may make sense in theory, but we're not talking theories.

We're talking about real life! In the streets!

And I was out there living it!

Whitley!

I'm gonna find you!

Love will find a way, I say!

Mademoiselle.

May I offer you a garbage bag

for that added bit of insulation?

No, thank you. I'm fine.

Oh.

You don't look fine.

This is supposed to be my honeymoon.

Oh, no, no. No crying.

We can't waste water in this town.

Could you sit a little downwind?

Whoo! Yes, I must add cologne to my shopping list, mustn't I?

Where is Dwayne?

Maybe he's with Martha.

Who's Martha?

- I don't know. Who's Dwayne? - He's my husband!

He's supposed to be here at 6:00 p.m.

I don't know where he is. I don't know how I'm supposed to find him.

The Black and white people are beating each other up. They're looting, burning.

What is happening?

What always happens.

Every generation, St. Louis, Chicago, Watts, Newark.

And it's not just about color, you know? Oh, no. No.

It's about being invisible, like me.

And when you're invisible, you have to shout!

Otherwise people don't notice you.

That's what's going on in this city, people are shouting!

You have to shout or you'll go crazy!

Go on and try it! Shout!

- That's not what I meant. - Yes, you'll feel better! Shout!

Shout!

Louder!

Oh, that's coming along magnificently.

Yes, yes!

This is your roving news reporter, Melissa Brulay, here with an exclusive.

- That felt kinda good. - Didn't I tell you?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

As Beverly Hills hunkers down bravely,

could you give us the homeless response to the riot?

Go get her.

The homeless response?

Well, what's your response?

What are you doing about this?

Well, moving-

I was living under the delusion that things were getting better

for Black people in this country� Not!

Thank you very much.

Problem is, you ask me a question, then you walk away.

We're not listening to the truth about Black and white,

about the homeless, about what this verdict really means.

This is Melissa Brulay trying to sign off.

If you're sitting in the comfort of your living room

looking at this like it's a movie or something,

I'm here to tell you, it's for real, baby.

And you can't turn your TV off.

It won't go away. Okay?

We're still gonna need to shout.

Whitley!

- Dwayne! - Hi, baby.

�romantic story I ever heard. It's so romantic.

It's a moment I'll never forget.

Y'all are just too much.

Black love is so beautiful.

Yeah. It's a shame that the rebellion had to go this far.

But at least now folks are listening, white and Black.

That's what we thought after Watts.

- Remember, Gaines? - Yeah.

We'll see what effect this has.

A lot depends on what we do after we leave this room.

We got to work together�

so that your children won't feel that in the next 20 years,

their only solution is to burn their own communities down.

Excuse me. Why are you people sitting around on your butts?

This is not Congress.

Well, Dean, you better get used to it.

You can never get them to do what you want when you want them to do it.

Mm-hmm. That's why I have spurs on my heels.

Ball of fire. Yes, she is.

Reminds me of Velma in her prime.

We got to get back to registration.

Before you do that, I have mail for you in the apartment.

Faboo.

All right.

All right, now, watch this.

Hi there.

Excuse us, ladies. This is my roommate, Terrell, and my name is Dorian.

Hello, Dorian. It's nice to meet you.

This is my roommate, Lena, and I'm Lena.

I'm Charmaine.

Oh, and don't forget Gina. How you doing?

It's uplifting to meet three such committed Hillman sisters.

You all are like the rainbow after the storm.

Yeah, like the rainbow.

Don't mind my partner. He's� he's on the shy side.

Would you ladies care to join us on a pilgrimage to The Pit?

If you paying, I ain't staying.

- Peace, baby. - Bye, my love.

- I'll see you later. - Okay.

Freddie, I just want you to know that I respect you.

I beg your pardon?

No, I really mean it.

You're in law school now.

You're doing something with your life. I admire people of action.

Please. The only reason that you're even paying attention to me

is because my hair is combed and I'm wearing heels.

This is so like you, superficial, sexist, chauvinist, a Republican�

Ron!

Ron!

There you are.

Listen, um� I've been thinking.

While you're looking for a place to stay, I would like you to bunk on the sofa.

But the only problem is, um, convincing Freddie.

But I'm sure you'll think of something.

- Hey, Fred. - Oh. There's that earring.

And what's wrong with him?

This is a first. Ron Johnson is speechless.

Keep up the good work, Kim.

You know, baby, there was something

that I'd always wanted to tell you. I never got-

That you're a stupid, oafie, dummy-butt with those chopsticks?

Yes, I am. But I'm also a stupid, oafie, dummy-butt with you.

I love you.

So tell me something I don't know.

Okay.

- When I first laid eyes on you� - Mm-hmm?

I thought, "I pity the poor man she's going to end up with."

When I first saw you, I said,

"That boy's going to be alone for the rest of his life."

That's it.

Well, I guess we both were wrong, huh?

I guess sometimes two wrongs do make a right,

Mr. Right.

Mrs. Right.

Baby, I know our honeymoon was not the way we expected it to be.

But it changed our lives, Dwayne.

Our lives and the lives of all our children.

All our children?

Okay, Dwayne, I think it's a little early to be talking about-

Oh, you're absolutely right. Talk is cheap, baby.

- Dwayne� - Oh, no.

One thing I learned on our honeymoon is to get busy and take action.

- What are you doing? - I'm getting busy and I'm taking action,

and I'm taking action and I'm getting busy.

Okay, but I'm not digging this Tarzan-Jane-

You will dig whatever I say you will dig, woman.

You will have to dig it.

'Cause when I say dig it, I mean dig it.

Now, brace yourself,

'cause we're going to get to work on Dwayne Jr.,

and Whitley Jr., and the twins.

- Twins? - And we're going to get a little Cleopha.

Cleopha? That's one of your mama's country-bama names.

And don't forget Tawanda, Lawanda, Shimi Shandita�
