Oh, come on, Bubba.

You really think that Riley can take
Johnson?

Are you crazy?

Johnson will take him in the first
round.

Yeah. Oh, really?

Well, put your money where your mouth
is.

That's big enough to hold your money
while it in your checkbook.

Oh,

how much?

Oh, come on.

And double that.

Now you're talking. Two dollars, you got
it.

Right. Okay, see you later.

Oh, got two big ones.

Hey, Grady.

I'm in the kitchen, am I?

Well, come on out here. I've got
somebody I want you to meet. Well, don't

A president shouldn't shout from room to
room.

If a president has something to say to a
president in another room, that

president should walk in there and say
it.

The trouble with you young folks is
you'd rather shout your way through life

than to walk.

Would you come on out here? I got
somebody I want you to meet.

Yeah, all right.

Let me get this thing off.

You'll be right out, Herm. Are you sure
he's not going to get upset about me

having been in jail?

Oh, no, man. Look, don't even worry
about it. Grady's a pretty nice dude.

Speak up! You're talking to me!

Would you get out of here?

Uh, Grady, do you remember Earl Edwards?

Well, this is Earl's baby brother,
Herman.

Herman, Grady Wilson.

How you doing? Hey, hi.

Herman, how you doing? Where's Earl?

Oh, Earl, he's just about getting ready
to get into law school now.

Oh, wow. That's great. You know, we need
more kids like you and Earl.

Not like some of these kids we got
growing up today.

Grady, Herman's going to be staying with
us for a while. Oh, boy. Why?

Well, because he doesn't have a place of
his own. Oh, how come?

He spent the last two years in prison.

Just make yourself at home, Herman.
Thanks, man.

Are you crazy bringing a killer into
this house?

Grady Herman is not a killer.

Well, he's been to jail, hasn't he?

Yeah, he's been to jail. Well, he's a
crook.

Now what?

Now stop it.

Now Herman is not a killer.

Well, how come he went to prison?

Because of circumstantial evidence, he
just happened to be at the scene of a

crime. Oh, you just happened to be at
the scene of a crime. What were you

there? Committing it.

Well, that's circumstantial evidence
already.

Come on, Herman.

Now where are you taking this jailbird?

I'm taking him upstairs, Grady, and he's
not a jailbird. He's got a name. Oh,

yeah? Spell it for me. Number by number.

Herman was arrested when he was 20 years
old for stealing a hi -fi set. He spent

two years in prison, and he's paid his
debt to society.

Oh, well, I ain't in society, so I
haven't been paid yet.

Hey, look, Lamont, man, maybe I better
split. I don't want no more hassles. No,

man, where you gonna go?

He ain't got no place to stay, Grady. He
got kicked out of his apartment because

he couldn't pay the rent. Now, Herman is
going to stay here with us until he

finds himself a job, and that's all
there is to it. You got that?

Okay. I just happen to have a job for
him.

Here, Herman, here's a quarter. Your job
is to get out. Now, goodbye.

That's just what I need, having a crook
around here.

See, I got him.

No,

he wouldn't want that.

Oh, wow, I can't let him get this.

Well, that's all I got to do is miss
hearing that fight.

Especially when I've got two big ones
riding on it.

Got to hide all the valuables.

Got to hide the valuables.

Boy,

that's some crook.

anything yet, Herman? No, not yet, man.

You put anything back?

Stop it.

Hey, man, here looks like a couple
places I could try. Yeah, well, you just

right on trying, Herman. There's bound
to be somebody in this town that'll give

you a job that don't care nothing about
your past, man. Right.

Did you try the mafia?

Why don't you go in the kitchen and fix
breakfast and stifle yourself?

I get it.

to the St. Louis Zoo.

Watch it, Grady.

And he was having a wonderful time.

Yeah. And he wished that I was there. Be
careful.

And we're sure you already were.

Would you knock it off as soon as I
knock him out? Would you just stop it?

Grady, stop it.

Stop it.

Now, come over here. I got somebody I
want you to meet.

Honesta, this is Herman Edwards, and
he's our house guest. Our big house

How you doing, ma 'am?

Uh, was that an automobile accident?

No, she was born with that face.

Shut up, fool.

Lamont, could you come over to help your
Uncle Woody out today in the store? Oh,

gee, I'd love to, Aunt Esther, but I'm
gonna be busy with the trucker all day

making pickups. And tonight, I promised
Julio I'd go to the fights with him.

What happened to your regular helper?

Well, we had to fire him for stealing.

I could have forgiven him for anything
else but stealing.

Thou shalt not steal.

That's one of the top ten.

Yes, ma 'am.

Oh, yeah, we can understand that.

Can't we, numbers?

I was hoping you'd be able to come and
help him out today.

Wait a minute. Now, you say that Woody
lost his helper, and Herman here is

looking for a job.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

You are?

Yes, ma 'am.

Do you know anything about the hardware
business?

Well, I never had any... Oh, well, you
don't have to worry nothing about that.

Herman here is very bright, and he picks
up things very easily.

Where did you work before?

Well, you see, for the last two years,
I've been... Worked for the state.

You did?

Well, uh, yes, ma 'am, and I... Never
missed a day. Rain or shine, Herman was

always there.

Well, I... He was a waiter.

A waiter?

Yeah, he waited two years.

Why did you leave?

He was done serving.

Did you get the job on, Esther?

I have to get my husband's opinion.
which shouldn't be very hard since he

it from me. In more ways than one. Wait
a minute. Just a minute. Just a minute.

Would you excuse me for a minute?

Say, Lamont, can I rap to you for a
minute, maybe? Yeah, yeah. Excuse me.

Oh, Grady, why don't you get something
for Ernesto?

Oh, gladly. How much do you think I
could get for him?

I don't think we should lie to your aunt
like that, really.

Look, Herman, nobody's asking you to
lie. Just don't volunteer any

that's not asked, all right? Oh, come
on, man. That ain't no way to do

Okay, look at it this way. Would you
tell anybody what your blood type was if

they didn't ask you? Well, of course
not. All right, put your blood cell in

same category as your jail cell.

Okay, okay.

Well, I got to get back to the store to
help my husband. Now, can I count on you

being there this afternoon?

Oh, yes, ma 'am. I'll be right down
there. Just let me get my stuff.

Fine. Bye.

Bye. Well, you don't have to rush off
now, do you? Yeah, why?

Well, I just like having you hang around
out here.

It makes the junk look so pretty.

Grady Wilson, I wouldn't lower myself to
even answer that because

I've got too much class.

What's the matter with you, Grady? What
have you got against my Aunt Esther?

She talks too slow.

What do you mean she talks too slow?
Well, she takes too much time between

and goodbye.

Well, at least she gave Herman a job.

Yeah, that's right. You know, and I owe
her for that, for getting him out of the

house, because I was afraid he was going
to attack me.

Would you stop that?

Well, no.

Really, I really get scared having a
criminal in the house.

Grady, I'm going to tell you one more
time. Herman is not a criminal.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Of course not.

I can see it now on my tombstone.

Here lies Grady Wilson, murdered in the
first degree by a hell of a nice guy.

Say, Pops, uh... I want to thank you for
letting me stay here last night and for

helping me get that job. Now I can
afford to get my own place.

Oh, sure, sure, Herman. You know, the
mom was right. Now a man must show

compassion and trust to his fellow man.
Can I see what you got in that suitcase

there? Come on, Herman, get on.

Well,

I'll see you later, Brady. I'm going to
pick up Hooligan. We're going to the

fights. Oh, well, you could take me to
the fights, you know.

I could.

But the tickets cost ten bucks apiece.

Well, you could spend ten dollars on the
man that cleans the house, washes the

clothes, and fixes your meals.

Sure. What time does he get here?

Bye.

Boy,

this is some dip.

Shrimp and ripple.

Shrimple.

Hey,

pops, will you come on downstairs? I
didn't come here to rob nobody.

Well, what'd you come back for?

I got...

What, she caught you stealing again,
right?

No, Pops, I wasn't stealing nothing. She
just found out that I'm an ex -con.

Did you kill her?

Put your hands down, man.

Well, how'd she find out that you was an
ex -con?

I told her.

Oh, well, she didn't fire you because
you was an ex -con. She fired you

you were a fool.

Okay, Pops, anything you say.

And don't call me Pops.

ask me? I mean, I didn't want to lie to
the lady. Well, what made her ask? Were

you singing old chain gang songs?

The fact is that she asked me some
questions about my last job working for

state, and I told her the truth.

She must have passed out.

No, she just raised her arms to heaven
and said, the truth will set you free.

And then she opened the door and freed
me.

Okay, well...

You can stay for a while, but I'll take
care of that later. But right now, I got

to listen to the fights. Come on, I'm
going to lock you in the closet.

Oh, come on, man. You can trust me.

Well, I don't have to trust you.

Ain't none of my clothes in there.

I'll tell you what. I'll just sit right
here.

On my hands.

All right, go on.

Both of them.

How'd you do it?

Do what?

Steal the radio. It's gone.

Hey, Bob, I didn't steal your radio.

Well, you're the only thief that's been
here. You can't trust a thief for one

minute. The first chance he gets, he
steals the freezer.

Hey,

you ain't going to hear nothing on that
radio.

Julio's got a radio.

Come on, why don't you go over there and
get it for me? Who's Julio?

He's our next door neighbor.

Well, why don't you go over there and
listen to it with him? Well, he went to

the fight with Lamar.

Then how am I supposed to get his radio?

circumstantial evidence.

Well, you know, it's funny how you
righteous dudes are only honest as long

it's convenient.

Look, come on, Herman. I don't need no
philosopher now. I need the crook. Hey,

but man, look.

That's breaking and entering. You know,
that's two to five.

No, no, no. It's ten to nine and the
fight's about to start.

Uh, just a radio.

What took you so long? I mean, you must
be out of practice.

Oh, man, I didn't want to break in and
steal Julio's radio.

Where'd you get it from?

Martel's Appliance Store.

Martel? Are you crazy?

Stealing a radio from Martel's when they
got color television?

Now, I dislike the thief, but I hate the
dumb one.

in trouble, but Riley came on with a
good flurry of hooks to the body towards

the end of the round.

Johnson now with a flurry of lefts to
the right. He's got Riley on the road.

Yeah, we win it! We win it! That's
right.

You sure know how to steal a radio.

We

figured

you had a final in mind. We left it.

Yeah, a terrible reception and the
squad... kept picking up police calls.

You know... Hey, Dave, can you turn it
up?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Come on, Dave.

What are you doing?

Hey, you know, that's very strange. You
turned up the volume and changed the

station with the same knob.

Well, you see, that's how this radio
works.

One of those buttons is for the
brightness.

Boy, I tell you, he's a heck of a
fighter, Riley. Come a long way from

Hey, Hoppy, Smitty. Hey, how are you?
Hey, Herman, what you doing here? You

some trouble or something?

No, we stopped by to listen to the
fight. Oh, how'd you get home so fast?

I didn't even get in, man. The fight was
sold out. And besides, Johnson got

KO'd. I heard it on the radio in the
truck.

Good thing he doesn't drive a squad car.

So how come you turned off the radio,
Brady? Let's listen to the fight

interview, man.

In the kitchen, Lamar.

No, out here. Now give me the radio.

Come on.

Give it to me.

What are you doing with a brand new
portable radio in your pocket?

Before you jump to any conclusions, this
young man over here...

Did you give up the right to remain
silent? Hold it, man. I didn't steal no

radio. All right, Mr. Wilson, you have
the right to remain silent. Did you give

up the right to remain silent? Uh, uh,
Hoppy. Hmm?

Remain silent.

Hey, Herman, what are they talking
about?

I bought him that radio at Martell's,
and he thinks I stole it.

Yeah, he bought it all right.

Yeah? Yeah, he bought it all right. Got
a good buy, too, and that's good buy to

you. And it's time for us to divide.

That's split. Oh, split. Right.

Oh, oh, thanks.

Thanks, man.

Wow.

Hey, wait a minute, you.

You stole my watch.

Grady, it's on the other arm.

Oh, yeah.

How'd you do that?

College graduate.

College graduate.

College graduate.

Looks like Herman's going to have a hard
time finding a job in this town.

Oh, hi, Aunt Esther. Don't you hire me.

Here's your mail. It was in the box.
Take it. I need both hands free to

some gospel into your heart.

Well, why? What did I do? You lied to me
about Herman. Well, I didn't exactly

lie. I played with the truth, but...
Played with it?

Lamont, the truth is not a toy. You
cannot play with the truth.

The truth is a hard, firm, ragged rock.

which is as old as the world itself.

The truth reminds me a lot of you,
Lester.

Shut up, fool.

Well, you're right on, Lester. I did lie
a little bit, but see, I figured if you

knew that Herman had been in prison that
you wouldn't have given him a job. I

apologize. I didn't fire him because he
was in prison.

I fired him because he didn't tell me he
was in prison. Now, wait a minute. Now,

that wasn't Herman's fault. I told him
not to tell you. Well, that's all in the

past. I'm willing to put everything
behind me.

Looks like it's already there.

You will not arouse my wrath, Grady
Wilson, because I came here filled with

mercy and to ask Herman to come back to
work for me.

Oh, really?

Yes. Hey, Herman, I think you better get
down here.

Hey, what's up, man? Hey, guess what?
Honest is going to give you your job

Oh, really?

Really. Blessed are the merciful, for
they shall obtain mercy.

Well, I think that's wonderful, Honest.

That's straight out of the good book.

Well, hallelujah and goodbye. Now go
straight out the good door.

Lastly, come on, honey.

We'll get you an apartment.

It's not good for ex -con to be
associated with a known sucker.

Here's a letter for you, Grady. Oh,
yeah? Open it up and read it. I don't

who would be writing me here.

It's a bill from Martell's Appliance
Store for the radio.

It seems that Herman only made the down
payment.

You owe the other eight.

I knew that crooked crook was crooked!

Once you've been on death row, you're
not ever good for society again.

And I'll never forgive you and Esther
for forgiving him or you for forgiving

or Martel for sending us.
