Hi, Cliff.

Do you mind if I borrow your sweatshirt?
You have it on.

Thank you.

You know, ever since you started these
pottery classes, you've gone through

every one of my sweatshirts.

Well, I like wearing them. They're
comfortable, and they remind me of you.

Look at me when you lie.

You just wear mine because you don't
want to dirty up your own.

Well, that's another good reason.

It's not fair. You can wear my
sweatshirts, my sweatpants, my hats, my

I can't wear anything of yours.

Well, darling, that's because all your
curves are in the wrong places. Uh -huh.

No, don't even kiss me.

Oh, come on, now. Don't even try. You
say things like that, and then you want

kiss somebody. No.

No.

I'm sorry. First you say you want to
kiss somebody, then you say, I'm sorry,

try to add that. I don't want to kiss
you, no, I'm sorry.

Well, if I can't say I'm sorry and if I
can't kiss you, what can I do?

You can give me back my sweatshirt.

It's not worth it. Yeah.

Listen, where's the anchovy paste?

It's in the bottom of the refrigerator.
Why?

Because I'm going to put it on the pate.

You're making pate for me?

No, I'm making it for Dr. Morgan, who is
coming over to talk about the hospital

fundraiser. Oh, I hope it's another
carnival like last year. I really

that. Well, I didn't.

Cliff, you were a hit.

No, no, I was not a hit. I had to sit in
that dunking booth.

I know.

I'm not sitting in it anymore.

Why? It was so much fun.

Fun? For me?

Sitting in that chair, watching people
hit the thing, and I fall six feet into

that cold, nasty, dirty water?

And watching my wife stand there just
sitting, come here, knock my husband

that Denise has ever dated came with
pocketfuls of money to him.

Hey.

What's that?

Paté. Can I have some?

You won't like it. Yes, I will.

Well, it's made out of liver. I don't
like liver.

And it has ground -up worm's eyes.

I have sauteed chicken's toes.

I like sauteed chicken toes.

Okay. So, you want some?

Yes.

You can't have any because they're for
Dr. Morgan. He's coming over to talk

about the spring fundraiser.

Don't, Daddy! No, don't, Daddy!

Dad, have you seen a blue folder?

No. This is terrible.

Well, wait a minute. What was in it?
Probably the best history paper ever.

written. Seven pages, typed perfectly,
855 words, three weeks of my life, and

I lost it. Okay, stop. Now think. Did
you take the papers out of the house?

Then it has to be in the house
somewhere.

But where?

All right, just sit there and think
calmly and thoroughly, and you'll find

I'll help. No, thank you. It's not a bad
idea, because she is fantastic at

finding things that don't belong to her.

Trust me.

Now go upstairs, take her with you, get
a piece of your typing paper, let her

sniff it, and then turn her loose.

time outside yeah is it the glare of the
moon that's bothering you

we bought these for a homework
assignment ah okay so you guys want to

while you're doing your homework oh no
we have to do a presentation for speech

class and we decided we would do a rap a
rap a rap you mean like hey my name is

cliff and i'm a doctor and i will sit
and

What's that mean?

Okay. Okay, all right. Wait, pate.

How don't you touch the... This is for
the guests. All right. No,

no, you are not a guest. Never happened.

Never happened. Now, all right.

There's the doctor coming now.

Who said anything about a dunk? No, it's
in your eyes. I can see it in your

eyes.

No, I don't want to talk about anything
that has to do with baseballs or falling

in the water. I just came over to talk
about the fundraiser. Hey, Dr. Morgan.

How you doing? Pretty good. Have you
ever met Cockroach?

No, I would have definitely remembered
that.

How you doing?

Hey, yo.

Is that a mustache on your top lip?

Yes, it is.

Is it yours?

Yes, it is.

Does your daddy know about it? Yes, he
does.

My dad knows about mine, too, only he
noticed it a lot sooner than Dr.

noticed Phil's. You wish.

Dad, when was the first time you noticed
my mustache?

When Dr.

Morgan said you had it.

What grade are you guys in now?

10th. Oh.

Thought about where you're going to go
to college? Well, we don't graduate for

another two years now. Uh -huh.

You're going to Morehouse College in
Atlanta, Georgia.

We are? Sure. It's a good school. I went
there.

You'll love it. Wait, wait, wait.

What? My son is going to make up his own
mind about college.

Dad says I have to go to Hillman.

I'll tell you what.

Your dad and I will take a weekend off,
right?

Friday and Saturday, we'll go to
Morehouse.

Then on our way back, we'll drive past
Hillman.

May I? Oh, please do.

That's pate.

Uh -huh. They serve that every day at
Hillman.

More house, they give you peanut butter.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. Why don't you fellas take that up?

right, thank you. Don't spill it on the
rug, please.

Don't worry, Dad. This will be eaten
before we get to my room.

You guys take it easy. All right. All
right, Cliff.

Let's get down to the business of this
fundraiser. Good. All right.

Here's what I was thinking about.

I think we should have a banquet.

That way people can put on... No, Cliff,
they did that five years ago. It didn't

make much money. Okay, fine. I know that
an auction will. See, we get the big

corporations... Cliff, Cliff, see, see.
We did that six years ago. It did worse

than the banquet. But the economy was
down then. Yes.

It's up now.

Understand? To be totally honest with
you, the best we've ever done was last

year's carnival.

Listen, listen to these figures. See, at
Morehouse, they taught us how to make a

profit.

Concessions, $500.

Ride, $900.

Dunking booth, $28 ,000.

Okay, you can have the carnival. Good.
You can have the dunking booth. Yeah.

do I have to sit in it?

Because the kids loved the way you
yelled when you fell and acted like you

really mad.

Acted? I was not acting.

Stop laughing at me. I'm not laughing at
you. I'm laughing with you. Yeah. Hi.

How are you doing, Dan? Hi, Cliff.

Oh. Hi, Denise.

I talked to Morgan. Hey, how's Cindy? I
haven't seen her in a really long time.

She's fine. Yeah? How was class?

Oh, today.

Today wasn't bad. These two are taking
pottery class together.

Mom, why don't you go ahead and show Dan
what you made?

I happen to be very proud of what I
made.

I will show your father what I made when
I'm ready for him to see it. Why don't

you show him what you made?

Dr.

Morgan and I are getting very old
sitting here. Okay, we'll show them

We'll sit together. On the count of
three.

No, that's not true at all.

One of them definitely is not.

Now, I'm not naming any names.

Mom.

When you first try it, I think it's
really good.

I think so, too, Claire.

Why don't we set it at the kitchen
counter?

Really? Yeah, that way someone will put
something in it and then we'll know what

it is.

The only reason you wanted us to take
this class was so you could make fun? of

me. Oh, Mom, I'm sorry that you do
everything so great. It's just nice to

you mess up.

You're going to get it, little girl.

I'm going to make some tea. Dan, you
want some? Love it. Hey, how about a cup

for me?

Don't get mad at me. I'm just telling
the truth about this.

Well, you cannot tell the truth and be
my friend.

Mom, I'm sorry I laughed at you.

No, you're not. I know.

Oh, wait, wait, wait. Don't leave this
one in here. You're frightening the

guests.

You know what would be a good idea, man?

How about if we put Claire in the booth?

You okay?

Look, Cliff, I really got to be going.

You just hold on to this.

Dan, you just got here. I know, but...
Cliff.

You got a beautiful family.

Yeah?

Don't ever take it for granted.

I feel so stupid.

A Morehouse man's supposed to feel
stupid.

Cliff, I didn't want to come over here
and talk about this.

Well, you haven't said anything yet,
then. No, it's just that when I saw

and Denise together like that, it made
me think of Cindy and her mom. What's

wrong with them?

Sarah's fine.

Okay, good.

No problem.

It's Cindy.

What's wrong with Cindy?

Cocaine. Alcohol.

You're kidding me.

We just put her back into a rehab
center.

It's the third one she's been in in a
year and a half.

You see, when Sarah and I first found
out that she had this problem, we sat

down, we talked to her. Yeah.

We told her that we loved her very much.

And they would do anything to help her.

See, she said she wanted help.

So we sent her to the counselor.

She went alone.

Sarah and I went with her.

She just wasn't getting better, you
know. So we found the best

rehabilitation center in the city.

It worked.

When she got out, it was like Sarah and
I had our little baby again.

About three or four weeks, everything
was fine.

Then she disappeared.

Three days, she was gone.

Sarah and I were going crazy. The police
couldn't even find her.

And then in the middle of the night, I
got a phone call.

Daddy, please, can I come home?

Come get me.

She was living with a boy I didn't even
know.

A filthy apartment.

I found her curled up on a mattress in
the corner of the

room.

When I picked her up, she went limp in
my arms.

Just like when she was a little baby.

She'd fall asleep in front of the TV and
I'd take her up to bed.

Well, we... We put her back into the
rehab center.

This time when she got out, she said to
me, Daddy, I'm gonna make it this time.

Everything's gonna be fine.

For a couple of months, everything was
fine.

And money started disappearing from
Sarah's purse.

I started seeing changes in Cindy.

Physically, she wasn't right.

I mean, did she think we were so stupid
that we couldn't see these things?

I want to know how did it get into my
house?

What was she doing with it?

Sneaking out in the middle of the night.

Sarah and I both going day by day, not
knowing if she's alive or dead.

Oh, Cliff.

This is killing me.

It's killing a mother.

And it's ripping my family apart.

And I just want to know, what did you
do?

How did you keep it from your kids?

I don't know.

I know that Claire and I do the same
thing that you and Sarah have done.

It's just luck.

It sounds like you and Sarah have done
all you can.

It's up to Cindy now. Does she know
she's tearing up the family? You want me

talk to her? No, Cliff. I've had people
she respects talk to her. I beg your

pardon. I don't mean it that way. I mean
people that she loves and that she

knows have sat down with her one -on
-one.

It hasn't made any difference yet.

Maybe this time Cindy will do it.

There's nothing more I can say.

Me too.

Well, that's about the first time a
Morehouse man has had nothing to say.

Or came to a human man for advice.

Come on.

There you

are.

But now your tea is cold. Oh.

Claire, look, I'm sorry.

I was downstairs bending Cliff's head.
Oh, that's all right. I can warm it up.

Oh, no, no, no, no, thank you. Listen, I
really got to be going. So soon? Yeah,

yeah. Listen, it was good to see you.
Good to see you, too. Okay.

You tell Sarah I said hello? I will.
Okay.

Okay, now, anything you need, you
understand? Claire and I are available.

All right?

Thank you, buddy. All right.

Hey, Kate. All right. Here, Dan.

I'll feed that.

What was that all about?

It's all about how lucky we are.

What are you talking about?

I will tell you, my dear, sometime when
we're both very, very happy.

Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad. Hey, Mr. Huxley.
Hey.

Hello, Walter.

You've finished your homework?

Yep. We're finished.

Already? Hey, we're fast.

Mom, we're writing a rap for speech
class.

Want to hear it? Sure.

It's kind of rough, but you'll get the
idea.

Life's a game. And once you hear us...
You won't be the same. Because we're

flying high. Up in the sky. We like
deluxe burgers and not small fries. Now

know we're bad. And you know we're...
Hold it, hold it, hold it. We're not

finished yet, Dad. We're not finished
yet. Can't you have some fun talking

something productive?

You know, I don't want to take away your
fun.

Studying can be fun. You know,
challenging yourself can be fun. You're

about that.

Dad, that means we have to write the rap
all over again.

Really?

Well, I don't think that'll be the first
time you ever had to start over again.

Okay, come on, cockroach.

See, I told you we should have done this
at my house.

It's a used tea bag holder.

Denise, that's not funny. I'm serious.
You know when you make yourself a cup of

tea, but you never know what to do with
the tea bag? Let me tell you something,

little miss know -it -all. This piece of
whatever this is that you made, all

right, it's okay.

Granted, it's craft.

I look at that thing and I know exactly
what it is. But this, my dear, is high

art.

It challenges you. You have to bring
something of yourself to this.

Then bring me a teabag.

I'll get it.

Come here.

Hey, don't fight with my clothes on,
please.

This child is making fun of my art.

Well, you're provoking it, dear.

I've had enough of you two.

Well, then don't make anything else like
that again.

I'm taking this someplace where it will
be appreciated. Oh, yeah?

Mm -hmm.

I've had it with you.

I've had it with you.

What are you laughing at? No, I was just
laughing. I'm just laughing, you know.

I'm doomed.

Why does this kind of thing always have
to happen to me? You didn't find your

paper. I looked everywhere.

You did?

And Rudy was no help? She found your
fountain pen. Good.

A keychain, a pair of chopsticks, your
gold earrings. Great.

And three dollars in change.

That's mine.

Dead after tomorrow, I'll have to drop
out of school.

Okay, Vanessa, why don't we retrace our
steps, all right?

Now, the last time you remember having
it, where were you?

In the kitchen. I came downstairs and I
had it in this hand. In this hand. Came

downstairs. Where did you go?

I called Janet.

Oh, that sounds logical.

All right. So you called Janet, right?
Talking on the phone. Hello, he said,

said, what did she say?

And I didn't do that. No, that's not
right. And he said, she said.

Dad. No, no, I'm serious. You got to say
it and we said. Now, what did you do

next?

Well, I got hungry.

Got hungry. So you hung up the phone.

No. Huh?

No.

I got some potato chips. Potato chips
back here. So what? No, call me back.

tell him who said, we said, we said,
we're going to go say, say, say, and get

the potato chips, right? Potato chips
and the paper, right? I got thirsty.

Thirsty? All right, so. Got a glass.

Got a glass, got a glass. He said, yes,
please, said, and we said, oh, you're

kidding. Well, I didn't say that. Then I
got a soda out of the refrigerator and

poured it in the glass. He said, we
said, you said, and everybody said,

said, right?

So take that out. It wasn't cold enough.
It wasn't cold enough. So I got some

ice out of it. Get some ice out of the
freezer. All right. So we go in the

freezer, and this is what we have here.

You want me to put it in the oven and
thaw it out for you? No!

It was in the freezer.

Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad.

How's it going, boys?

We're finished.

And if you ask me, I think we did pretty
well.

I think we should be the judges of that.

Okay. Come on. Come on. All right.

You ready? Mm -hmm.

This rap was written by The Road and
Theo. So, Mom and Dad, here we go.
