Yo, D, let me use Lauren's laptop.

I want to surf the net. They got a new website I want to check out.

Bigbooty .com.

to be so mad.

Here she comes.

Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up.

Hey,

Laura. Hey, look who's here. I know it's your sister, Laura.

That's right, Steve. It's Laura, my sister.

Well, what's going on? Nothing.

I don't have time for this. I got a term paper to do.

do it in crayon.

Steve, maybe we should tell her.

to download your computer with the latest software.

But I already have the latest software.

Oh, no, no, no.

This wear is much softer.

It has an ebonic spell check.

It's open.

Excuse me, Commissioner.

You wanted to see me? Yes, I did, Winslow. Come on in.

So, how are the mean streets?

All cranky as ever, sir.

You know, I envy you out there in that concrete jungle getting shot at in dark

alleys, slapping cuffs on dirt bags.

Well, perhaps you'd like to go on patrol with me sometime, sir. Are you crazy?

I'd get killed out there.

Well, shall I take a seat, sir?

No, you're not going to be here that long.

We got a fax from the Detroit police.

They got a guy up there bouncing checks, and they've traced him here to Chicago.

Well, that's not usually our department, sir.

I know that, Winslow, but I want you to take care of this personally.

Well, very good, sir. What's his name?

Winslow.

Yes, sir.

The perp's name is Winslow.

Oh, I thought you... His name is Winslow? I'm afraid so.

Franklin Aloysius Winslow.

Well, that's my brother Frank.

I don't believe this. My brother Frank is passing bad checks?

Several thousand dollars worth. I wanted you to hear it from me first.

Very sensitive of you, sir.

Not really. I like giving out bad news.

That's a joke, Winslow.

And a real knee -slapper it is, too, sir.

Now, listen.

If your brother is in Chicago, would he get in touch with you?

He might, sir.

Then you might be tempted to look the other way. Forget you're a cop.

I took an oath.

And the oath says that I'm a cop first and a brother second.

I sure wish all my men were like you.

Thank you, sir.

First, you can give me a great big hug.

Disappointed he missed you.

I'm not so sure about that, Harriet.

You know, it's been ten years since we talked.

He still hasn't forgiven me for not coming to our father's funeral.

I was hoping that maybe we could clear the air.

Carl will be home around six o 'clock. Why don't you join us for dinner

You know, Carl's a little easier to talk to on a full stomach.

Thanks. I'll be here.

Listen, the carnival is at Rolling Meadows. So if you and the family want

catch my act, I'll leave you some passes. We'd love it.

And listen, warn the kids. The beanbag toss is rigged.

Bye. Bye, Frank.

Hello.

What? The carnival's in town, and they're having a tough man competition

tonight. So?

All you have to do is the last 60 seconds with the champ, Butterball, and

win three grand.

Oh, that's exactly the amount of money that we need to buy Laura a new laptop.

Butterball.

Man,

you must be crazy.

If I hit you, you'll be taking a major dirt nap.

How was your day?

Terrible.

Well, I've got a big surprise for you that'll cheer you up.

Please, Harriet.

No more surprises. I've had enough surprises for one day.

Bury it now.

There who is?

Hi, boy. Hi, Harriet.

Frank. Didn't I tell you I had a big surprise for you, Carl?

Yes, you did, Harriet.

It's good to see you, Carl.

I just wish I could say the same, Frank.

What do you mean, Carl?

You're under arrest.

What? Carl!

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you and the court of law.

Good? Ladies and gentlemen, Sullivan...

Will you just listen to me? You will have plenty of time to tell your side of

the story to the judge, Frank.

Is this your way of getting back at me for not going to Dad's funeral?

You should have been there, Frank.

Mama was devastated.

I couldn't. I just couldn't be there.

Well, what did you do, Frank? Did you have a hot date?

Did you lose all your money gambling at the racetrack?

I didn't go because I just couldn't handle the fact that Dad was... gone.

Well, why didn't you tell me this before, Frank?

I tried, Carl.

But when you didn't return my tenth phone call, I just gave up.

You know, it was hard for me at the funeral, too, but I was there.

I made a lot of mistakes in the past, Carl.

But I like to think that I've changed.

Oh, yeah.

You're passing bad checks.

Just hold on, you two.

Frank, what really happened with the checks?

About a year ago, I got a job managing a restaurant.

Things were going great.

Then all of a sudden, the place went bankrupt, and I was out of a job.

See, there you are, no job, passing bum checks.

My paycheck bounced.

The personal checks I wrote, I thought they were good at the time that I wrote

them.

It happens, Carl. We know people that that's happened to.

Well, are you at least looking for a job, Frank?

I'm a clown.

With a traveling carnival.

A clown?

Hey, don't laugh.

Well, actually, you're supposed to laugh.

But it's a steady job, and I make good money.

Carl, you should see him in his makeup. He's so cute.

I'm not going to arrest you, Frank.

How come?

Because I'm going to loan you the money to pay off the debt.

I can't let you

do that, Carl.

Yes, you can, Frank.

Because we are brothers.

And brothers are supposed to stick together.

I just wish that you felt close enough to come to me before.

See?

There you go, Carl.

Being there for me

And

now our last challenger of the evening

it take long.
