Woman: EXCUSE ME. I'M LOOKING FOR CHIEF CURTIS PAYNE.

Curtis: DOES HE OWE YOU MONEY?

Woman: NO. Curtis: THEN I'M HIM.

Woman: OH! HI.

I AM MICHELLE WILLIS, PRODUCER OF SPARKS.

C.J.: ISN'T THAT THE NEW REALITY SHOW

ABOUT FIREFIGHTERS?

Angel: YEAH, THAT'S THAT SHOW

WHERE THAT FIREMAN SAVED THOSE TWINS

FROM THE HIGH-RISE IN CHICAGO

AND NOW HE'S GOT HIS OWN CLOTHING LINE

CALLED "SMOKIN'."

Calvin: SMOKIN'-- I LOVE THEIR CLOTHES.

I GOT A SMOKIN' JACKET. IT'S HOT. IT'S HOT.

Michelle: OKAY, EVERYBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH THE SHOW.

THAT'S GREAT.

LISTEN, WE'RE GONNA DO

A SERIES ON ATLANTA FIREHOUSES,

AND WE'D LIKE TO INCLUDE YOUR ENGINE COMPANY.

Curtis: NO, THANK YOU. NOT INTERESTED.

Keenan: BUT, CHIEF, IT COULD BE GREAT PUBLICITY.

Curtis: LOOK, KEENAN, THE ONLY GREAT PUBLICITY

IS NO PUBLICITY.

Michelle: I UNDERSTAND. NOT EVERYBODY CAN HANDLE

EVERYTHING THAT GOES ALONG WITH BEING ON TV,

LIKE THE FAME,

THE MAGAZINE COVERS, THE ENDORSEMENTS.

Curtis: W-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU MEAN I COULD BE A STAR?

Michelle: IT COULD HAPPEN. I DO SEE IT ALL THE TIME.

PEOPLE GO ON TO MODELING

AND ACTING AND RECORDING CONTRACTS.

Curtis: OH, A RECORDING CONTRACT.

I DREAMED ABOUT IT. I DREAMED ABOUT THIS.

Michelle: SO, IS THAT A YES?

WE CAN FILM YOU AND YOUR GUYS?

Curtis: ♪ YES

[ CHEERING ]

WE'RE GONNA DO YOUR SHOW.

ON ONE CONDITION.

YOU CAN ONLY GET MY GOOD SIDE.

Calvin: I DON'T THINK THEY GOT A LENS

WIDE ENOUGH FOR ALL YOUR SIDES.

OH, CAN'T GET IT, CAN'T GET IT.

Curtis: AND HE CAN'T BE IN THE SHOW.

Michelle: OKAY. Curtis: AND I THINK THIS SIDE

IS MY GOOD SIDE.

NO, IT'S THIS SIDE.

NO, IT'S THIS SIDE.

Ella: YES, I'M COMING BY.

ARE YOU EXCITED?

I KNOW. I'M SO HA-- Curtis: [ LAUGHS ]

Ella: I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER. OKAY, BYE-BYE.

HEY, GUYS. I THOUGHT YOU ALL WERE AT WORK.

Curtis: I'M THE FIRE CHIEF,

AND I CAN BE ANYWHERE I WANT TO BE.

SO, I BE HERE.

C.J.: YEAH, WE ONLY CAME HERE FOR LUNCH

'CAUSE BART WAS AT THE FIREHOUSE

FIXING HIS FAMOUS GRILLED CHEESE

AND SARDINE SANDWICHES.

UGH.

Curtis: AND PLUS, I GOT TO GET READY

FOR MY TELEVISION DEBUT, BABY.

Ella: CURTIS, WHO WOULD LET YOU BE ON TV?

Calvin: OH, MA, THAT NEW REALITY SHOW, "SPARKS."

Ella: OH, THAT'S THAT SHOW WHERE THAT GUY

WAS TRYING TO KILL THIS MOUSE.

HE THREW HIM INTO THE FIREPLACE,

AND THEN THE MOUSE ESCAPED,

RAN ALL AROUND THE HOUSE,

AND SET THE WHOLE HOUSE ON FIRE.

Curtis: YEAH. THAT MOUSE WAS HOT.

[ LAUGHS ]

THE MOUSE WAS HOT. BURN UP THE HOUSE.

THE MOUSE WAS HOT.

Ella: CURTIS, THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

HERE, BABY. Curtis: THANK YOU.

Ella: C.J., I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,

AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET MAD.

Calvin: OH, C.J., BRACE YOURSELF.

THIS MUST BE HUGE.

C.J.: ALL RIGHT. WHAT IS IT?

I HAVE BEEN VISITING JANINE IN THE REHAB.

C.J.: TALKING TO HER ON THE PHONE IS ONE THING,

BUT HANGING OUT WITH HER IS SOMETHING ELSE.

Ella: I HAVEN'T BEEN HANGING OUT WITH HER.

I'VE JUST BEEN SPENDING TIME WITH HER.

SHE'S ALL ALONE IN THERE.

Curtis: SHE'S NOT ALONE, ELLA.

THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF CRACKHEADS THERE.

THAT PLACE IS A REGULAR CRACKAPALOOZA.

[ LAUGHS ]

Ella: YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT HELPING MATTERS, OKAY?

C.J., HER OWN PARENTS ARE NOT SPEAKING TO HER,

AND I JUST DON'T WANT HER TO FEEL ABANDONED.

C.J.: SHE ABANDONED US. AUNT ELLA, WHY DO YOU INSIST

ON BRINGING JANINE AND HER DRAMA

BACK INTO MY LIFE?

Ella: OKAY. YOU'RE DIVORCED, C.J.

YOU DIVORCED THE GIRL,

BUT SHE IS GOING TO ALWAYS BE

MALIK AND JAZMINE'S MOTHER.

THAT MAKES HER FAMILY.

C.J.: WELL, I DON'T LIKE IT.

C.J.: WE STILL NEED TO SUPPORT HER.

Calvin: THEN BUY HER A BRA.

Curtis: NOW, THATWAS FUNNY!

[ LAUGHS ] THAT WAS A GOOD ONE, BOY.

Calvin: I GET IT FROM MY DAD.

Curtis: YEAH, YOU DO.

Calvin: IT'S COMING OUT OF ME.

Ella: HELLO? WOULD YOU ALL HUSH?

ONE MORE THING, C.J.

I WANT TO TAKE THE CHILDREN TO SEE HER.

C.J.: NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Ella: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "NO, ABSOLU--" WHERE YOU GOING?

C.J.: I'M GOING BACK TO THE FIREHOUSE.

I'M GONNA HAVE ONE OF BART'S

GRILLED CHEESE AND SARDINE SANDWICHES.

IT'S GOT TO BE A LOT EASIER TO STOMACH THAN THIS.

Ella: AAH!

UGH!

Michelle: ARE YOU ROLLING ON ANGEL?

ANGEL, HONEY, CAN YOU TELL US,

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE A FIREMAN?

Angel: OH, I PREFER THE TERM "FIREFIGHTER."

I LOVE IT. I LOVE THIS JOB.

I MEAN, WE GET TO SAVE LIVES.

WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT?

Michelle: YES, BUT IS IT HARD TO BE A WOMAN

IN SUCH A MALE-DOMINATED PROFESSION?

Angel: OH, SURE, 'CAUSE...

THERE'S NO ONE TO BORROW LIPSTICK FROM.

[ LAUGHS ]

NO, NO. I MEAN, I LOVE IT HERE.

I LOVE THESE GUYS.

THEY'RE TOUGH AND SMART-- WELL, EXCEPT FOR CALVIN.

HE'S BEEN IN COLLEGE FOR SEVEN YEARS.

Calvin: OH, GO AHEAD AND TELL

ALL MY BUSINESS, ANGEL.

Angel: WELL, IT'S TRUE.

Calvin: THE CAMERA. Angel: OH!

Bart: WHOA! Calvin: THERE YOU GO.

Angel: HEY, CHALE, PAPI. WHOO!

Bart: CHIEF, CHIEF, CHIEF.

[ LAUGHS ]

HUH? HUH? HUH?

Keenan: CHIEF, SO WHY DO YOU HAVE AN ASCOT?

Curtis: KEENAN, KEENAN, KEENAN.

YOU'RE SUCH A REGULAR PERSON.

BUT I'M GLAD YOU ASKED ME THAT,

AND I THINK I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU WITH A SONG.

♪ I WAS A FOOL

♪ TO FALL IN LOVE

♪ A FOOL TO FALL FOR YOU--

Michelle: CUT, CUT, CUT!

SIR, PLEASE!

STOP DOING THAT.

Curtis: YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE RIGHT.

I NEED TRACKS.

TAPE RECORDER UPSTAIRS.

Michelle: OKAY. KEEP ROLLING.

ANGEL, ANGEL... Angel: HUH?

Michelle: SO, TELL US WHAT IT'S LIKE

TO WORK AND LIVE SO CLOSELY TOGETHER.

Angel: WELL-- C.J.: WELL, ACTUALLY,

IT'S GREAT. IT'S GREAT.

WE'RE LIKE ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY.

IT'S WONDERFUL.

WE LOVE EACH OTHER.

EVERYTHING IS GREAT.

Nicole: C.J.

C.J.: OH, HELL.

NICOLE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I TOLD YOU IT'S OVER.

Nicole: OH, I KNOW IT'S OVER, OKAY?

I JUST CAME TO BRING YOU BACK YOUR STUFF.

C.J.: WHAT STUFF?

Nicole: YOUR STUFF-- YOUR...

"PAT BENATAR'S GREATEST HITS" CD.

C.J.: THAT'S NOT MINE.

Nicole: YOUR KISSING FOR DUMMIESBOOK.

YOUR EXTRA INTENSIVE MOISTURE CREAM FOR ASHY SKIN.

C.J.: THAT IS MINE.

Nicole: YOUR ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION MEDICATION.

C.J.: THAT IS NOT FUNNY. THIS IS NOT MINE.

Nicole: AND ANOTHER THING, C .J.,

I'M NO LONGER CELIBATE.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, CALVIN?

Calvin: OH, YOU FEEL THAT, BABY?

Nicole: I DO.

Calvin YOU CAN'T BE TOUCHING ME LIKE THAT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

OH, LOOK.

I SWEAR, I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS

WITH THAT WOMAN.

CUZ, I--

C.J.: LOVE YOU.

Ms. Claretha: HELLO, EVERYBODY.

Ella: HEY, BABY. Jazmine: HI, MS. CLARETHA.

Ms. Claretha: OH, MISS JAZZY, YOU LOOK NICE.

Jazmine: THANKS. WE'RE GOING OUT.

Malik: YEAH, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE.

AUNTIE ELLA SAID IT'S A SECRET.

Ms. Claretha: A SECRET FROM WHOM? PLEASE.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW EVERYTHING.

Malik: SO, MS. CLARETHA,

DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING?

Ms. Claretha: OF COURSE.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE YOUR MOTHER.

Ella: AAH!

[ BOTH LAUGHING ]

AAH!

THANKS A LOT, CLARETHA.

Ms. Claretha: OH, NO PROBLEM, BABY.

Jazmine: SO, AUNTIE ELLA, YOU MEAN,

YOU REALLY FOUND HER?

Ella: YES, JAZMINE, AND YOUR MOM'S GETTING HELP.

Malik: SO, SHE'S ACTUALLY DOING BETTER?

Ella: MUCH BETTER, AND I WILL EXPLAIN

EVERYTHING ON THE WAY.

WAIT FOR ME IN THE CAR.

Ms. Claretha: ELLA, YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN'T BE

TAKING THOSE KIDS TO SEE JANINE

WITHOUT C.J.'S PERMISSION.

Ella: WHAT? IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR US TO JUST

KEEP THOSE KIDS AWAY FROM THEIR MOTHER,

EVEN IF SHE DID USE DRUGS.

Ms. Claretha: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "USED"?

SMOKING CRACK IS LIKE TRYING BLACK.

ONCE YOU DO, YOU NEVER COME BACK.

Ella: CLARETHA, JANINE IS MUCH BETTER NOW,

AND SHE ASKED TO SEE HER CHILDREN.

Ms. Claretha: OKAY. SUIT YOURSELF.

BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD,

I THINK YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE.

Ella: IT'LL BE FINE. YOU'LL SEE.

IT'LL BE FINE. TRUST ME.

THANK YOU.

Ms. Claretha: SO, WHAT HAPPENED?

Jazmine: MY MOMMY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE US.

Ella: JAZMINE, WAIT A MINUTE.

Ms. Claretha: WHAT HAPPENED? Ella: I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN WE ARRIVED, THE COUNSELOR SAID THAT JANINE CHANGED HER MIND,

Ms. Claretha: WHAT? Ella: AND THEN SHE SAID

SHE JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE THE KIDS IN THAT ENVIRONMENT.

Ms. Claretha: ARE THEY OKAY? Ella: LOOK AT THEIR FACES, WILL YOU?

Ms. Claretha: ARE YOU KIDS OKAY?

Malik: IF SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ME,

I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER.

Ella: MALIK, THAT'S NOT IT.

OKAY, JAZMINE, WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

Ms. Claretha: "EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. YOU'LL SEE."

YOU SCREWED UP, ELLA.

Michelle: OKAY, OKAY. CUT. CUT.

I KNOW THIS IS A REALITY SHOW, PEOPLE,

BUT THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH... REALITY.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S STAGE SOME CANDID SHOTS.

Keenan: BUT IF THEY'RE STAGED, THEY'RE NOT CANDID.

Michelle: EXACTLY. NO REALITY IN REALITY TV.

HEY, BART, WHY DON'T YOU SHOW US

WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF THERE WERE A FIRE?

Bart: HELP. AAH. I'M ON FIRE, HELP.

PUT ME OUT. OH. Angel: BART, STOP IT.

Bart: DUCK AND COVER. Angel: BART, COME ON. STOP IT.

BART, SHE MEANS WHAT WE WOULD DO

IF WE WERE ON A CALL.

C.J.: OH, THAT WAS NO LADY.

Keenan: [ CHUCKLES ] WELL, SHE'S NOTHING COMPARED

TO HIS EX-WIFE.

Bart: [ LAUGHS ] OR YOURS.

Keenan: AT LEAST I HAD A WIFE.

HOW'S YOUR MAMA?

Michelle: THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER.

Keenan: WOW.

Curtis: HELLO, EVERYONE.

All: [ LAUGHTER ]

C.J.: OH, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING WITH THIS.

Curtis: OH! THE CAMERA'S HERE. THERE'S A CAMERA HERE.

I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A CAMERA HERE.

I WOULD'VE DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION.

C.J.: OKAY. I GUESS I'LL JUST GO TAKE A SHOWER.

Ella: OKAY. [ DOORBELL RINGS ]

C.J.: OR I'LL ANSWER THE DOOR.

Nicole: HI. C.J.: [ SIGHS ]

Nicole: WE NEED TO TALK.

C.J.: I THOUGHT WE TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Nicole: YEAH, I KNOW, BUT, YOU KNOW, I REALLY NEED SOME CLOSURE.

Ella: CLARETHA, WOULD YOU COME OUT OF THERE

AND LEAVE THEM ALONE? Ms. Claretha: NO. THIS MIGHT GET GOOD.

Ella: [ CHUCKLES ] HI.

COME ON. BOY.

ANYWAY, C.J., YOU KNOW,

I'M STILL THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

AT YOUR KIDS' SCHOOL,

AND I'M PROBABLY GOING TO SEE YOU FROM TIME TO TIME.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU WHEN I SEE YOU.

NOW, CAN YOU LEAVE?

SO, YOU'RE JUST GONNA CUT ME OFF LIKE THAT?

WELL, AFTER ALL THE ACCUSATIONS

AND THE FIGHTS AND THE BREAKING DISHES

AND THE KNIFE, YEAH, YOU CUT OFF.

SPEAKING OF BREAKING DISHES,

I WANT THAT IN ONE PIECE WHEN YOU LEAVE.

Nicole: OKAY.

WELL, I GUESS THAT'S IT, THEN. C.J.: YEAH.

Nicole: AS LONG AS YOU KNOW THIS IS THE LAST

YOU WILL SEE OF ME. C.J.: OKAY.

Nicole: THAT'S IT. I'M SERIOUS. I'M SERIOUS, C.J.

Curtis: HEY, WHERE'S THE CAMERA CREW? WHERE'S THE CAMERA CREW?

Keenan: THEY'RE AT LUNCH, MR. MOTOWN.

Curtis: THAT'S ME.

MAN, I'VE BEEN PRACTICING ALL NIGHT.

I GOT MY MOVES DOWN. YOU SHOULD HEAR MY SONG.

I GOT MY MOVES. [ HUMMING ]

Calvin: POPS, POPS, SERIOUSLY.

POPS, POPS. NO, SERIOUSLY, PLEASE, PLEASE.

Curtis: MAN, I WISH I COULD SEE SOME OF THE FOOTAGE.

THEN I KNOW WHAT THEY GONNA AIR.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW WHAT THEY LOOKING FOR.

THEN I COULD REALLY, REALLY SET IT UP.

Calvin: WELL, THIS DVD SAYS, "ROUGH CUT."

LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

Curtis: MNH-MNH.

Bart: NO, CALVIN, NO.

THAT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT. THAT'S NOT OUR DVD.

WE SHOULDN'T BE LOOKING AT THAT, SHOULD WE?

Curtis: THIS IS MY FIREHOUSE, AND I SAY WE LOOK AT IT.

Calvin: Okay. Curtis: [ LAUGHS ]

STAY. PUT IT IN THERE. Calvin: MM-HMM.

Curtis: CLICK "ON." Keenan: TURN IT UP.

Calvin: SHH, SHH. I GOT IT. Curtis: HIT THE PLAY.

Calvin: OKAY. OKAY, SHH.

Michelle: BART, SHOW ME WHAT YOU DO WHEN THERE'S A FIRE.

Bart: HELP, AAH! I'M ON FIRE!

HELP. PUT ME OUT. HELP.

Michelle: YOU GUYS SEEM HIGHLY QUALIFIED.

Angel: WELL, EXCEPT FOR CALVIN.

HE'S BEEN IN COLLEGE FOR SEVEN YEARS.

Michelle: CALVIN, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO WORK WITH A FEMALE FIREFIGHTER?

Calvin: I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS

WITH THAT WOMAN.

Michelle: AS YOU CAN SEE, ENGINE COMPANY 5

IS VERY UNORTHODOX, INCLUDING THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE UNIT, ANGEL.

WHAT'S THE HARDEST PART OF YOUR JOB?

Angel: THERE'S NO ONE TO BORROW LIPSTICK FROM.

Nicole: I'M NO LONGER CELIBATE.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, CALVIN?

Angel: OH, MY GOD, THAT LAST PART, THAT WASN'T EVEN MY VOICE.

THAT WAS NICOLE.

Michelle: AND THE MAN IN CHARGE, CHIEF CURTIS PAYNE,

SETS THE TONE.

Curtis: ♪ I WAS A FOOL

TURN IT OFF. TURN IT OFF.

TAKE THAT THING OUT.

PEOPLE MAKING US LOOK LIKE IDIOTS.

Angel: MM-HMM. Keenan: YOU KNOW, I FEEL VIOLATED.

Curtis: I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING. THAT THING WILL NEVER AIR.

GIVE IT HERE.

BART? Bart: YES?

Curtis: GO GET THE SHREDDER. Bart: ALL RIGHT, CHIEF.

Curtis: IT'S TIME TO SHRED SOMETHING.

C.J.: AUNT ELLA, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE KIDS?

Ella: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

C.J: THEY'RE UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING.

Ella: WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

C.J.: THEY WOULDN'T TELL ME WHAT IT WAS.

THEY TOLD ME TO ASK YOU.

Ella: OH.

I GAVE THEM SOME BAD TUNA FOR LUNCH.

[ LAUGHS ] C.J.: AUNT ELLA, THEY WERE SAD, NOT SICK.

Ella: OKAY, C.J. COME ON.

SIT RIGHT HERE.

C.J., I... I TOOK THE KIDS TO SEE JANINE.

C.J.: YOU DID WHAT?

Ella: I TOOK THE KIDS TO SEE JANINE.

C.J.: AFTER I TOLD YOU NOT TO?

Ella: WELL, ACTUALLY, YOU DID NOT SAY NOT TO.

YOU JUST SAID, "NO!"

AND STORMED RIGHT OUT THE DOOR.

C.J.: WELL, ACTUALLY, WHAT I SAID WAS,

"ABSOLUTELY NOT."

LOOK, JANINE HAS DONE ENOUGH TO THIS FAMILY.

I DON'T WANT THOSE KIDS TO SEE HER.

Ella: C.J., SHE IS A PART OF THIS FAMILY,

AND YOU CANNOT ACT LIKE SHE DOES NOT EXIST.

C.J.: WELL, I'VE BEEN DOING GOOD SO FAR.

NOW I GOT TO GO IN HERE AND CONSOLE THEM

BECAUSE THEY HAD TO SEE HER LIKE THAT.

Ella: THEY DIDN'T SEE HER LIKE THAT. THAT'S JUST IT.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE UPSET.

WHEN WE GOT TO THE REHAB CENTER,

THE COUNSELOR SAID THAT SHE CHANGED HER MIND,

AND SHE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THEM

IN THAT ENVIRONMENT.

C.J: WELL, 'CAUSE SHE'S UNPREDICTABLE.

LISTEN, YOU HAD NO RIGHT

TO TAKE THEM THERE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T TRUST MY JUDGMENT,

YOU STILL NEED TO RESPECT IT.

I'M THEIR FATHER.

Ella: OKAY. YOU'RE RIGHT.

I APOLOGIZE.

BUT, C.J., SHE WAS MISSING THEM,

AND THEY WERE MISSING HER.

C.J.: I'M SURE THEY DO.

BUT UNTIL I'M CONVINCED

THAT SHE'S COMMITTED TO BEING CLEAN,

I DON'T WANT THEM TO SEE HER.

Ella: OKAY. I SAID I UNDERSTAND.

AND I'M SORRY.

C.J: I'M SORRY, TOO. Ella: DO YOU FORGIVE ME?

C.J.: YEAH.

[ GROWLS ]

Ella: THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH.

Michelle: DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEA

WHAT HAPPENED TO... ALL OF MY STUFF?

Calvin: GOT A LITTLE DAMAGED.

Michelle: DAMAGED?

WHAT DID YOU DO, PUT IT THROUGH THE SHREDDER?

Bart: THAT OBVIOUS, HUH?

Michelle: WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?
