Alright.

I'm Carl Gordon.

Welcome to another
live episode of "Roc."

You know, since I started
working on this show

more and more people
recognized me.

I could be standing in a market

uh, in a check out line

and someone
will invariably call out

"I know you.
You're that bald guy's father."

And then they ask me
for my autograph.

Well, meanwhile, the people
behind me are starting to yell

because their frozen food
is melting.

And besides, they watch
"Murder, She Wrote."

Now the way I feel is

I struggled for over 20 years
in the theatre

for a little recognition.

So some hot head
with a Lean Cuisine

is not going to rob me
of my moment.

So, if you ever see me
standing in line somewhere

feel free to ask me
for my autograph.

Well, I'll even let you cut in

if you are not writing a check.

And to all you students at the
University Of Oregon, Eugene

on November the 3rd,
rock the vote.

Love you, moms, Loy.
Now, enjoy the show.

Here we go!

- Hey, son.
- Hey, pop. Where you've been?

Well, it's Matty's birthday.

I thought
I'll get her a card.

Boy, I didn't know what
I was letting myself in for.

What are you talking about?

Well, they got everything
categorized.

Mother's birthday, son's
birthday, brother, sweetheart

but nothing for somebody you're
datin' 'cause you like them

but you don't know
where it's going

and you're not ready
to make a commitment.

Hey, daddy.

- Hey, Roc.
- Hey, sweetheart.

- How was work, baby?
- Oh, horrible.

Matty told all those nurses
that she's just fed up

with the political
backstabbing for that promotion.

So, Helen and Cynthia want me to
get together with them tonight.

I think, they'll try to get me
to stop daddy from dating Matty.

- Can you believe that?
- Well, now...

Baby, you did get pop to take
her out so we could talk you up.

But, I can't ask them
to break up.

They're so happy together.

Hmm.

You know, I'd be a lot happier
if the woman

didn't have a birthday
so soon in our relationship.

'Daddy.'

Hey, morning, everybody.

The donut man is here,
come and get 'em.

Sis, I got a
chocolate croissant for you.

- Oh, thank you.
- Help yourself.

And, pop, I got a
Cinnamon Danish for you.

And, Roc,
I got you a plain donut

'cause I didn't
want to break a twenty.

- Oh, thank you, son.
- Hey. It's the least I can do.

Now that my band
is making a little bank.

I got those books solid
all the way through January.

- Whoa-ho.
- Yeah, yeah.

Come and check us out tonight.
We're playing at Charlaine's.

Wow, that's great, Joey.

You know we'll be there,
clapping the loudest.

Yeah, well, I don't care
if you clap or not

just make sure you pay the cover

'cause I get a piece
of the dough.

Also, you'll get a chance
to meet my new girlfriend.

Whoa, you got
a new girlfriend, too?

- What she's like?
- Oh, her name's Jenise.

She's smart, she's funny,
she's beautiful.

I mean, she's-she's
everything I deserve.

Mm-hmm.

Where you meet her?

Oh. I met her
at this party, see?

She was kinda down,
'cause she just got out of

this three year relationship
with some old guy, right?

So I-I cheered her up,
I made her laugh

I made her feel good
about life again.

You know, like I do
with everybody, except for you.

You know, son, I'm glad

that you finally
getting your life together.

- 'Thank you, pop.'
- New girl, steady work.

Yeah, Joey, we always knew you
had it, and we are proud of you.

You just needed some motivation.
You know?

I knew I did the right thing
throwing you out of here.

I'll be sure to mention that
when I win a Grammy.

Yeah.

Work it, Joey.

'Yes.'

Yeah.

Ho!

Miles Taylor,
ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Thank you. Thank you very much.
Alright.

We're gonna take a short break

so we'll be back,
so don't go nowhere. Okay?

And if there are any
talent scouts out here tonight

let me just say

what the hell are
you doing in this dive?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Y'all hear that?

They love us.

- You know what?
- Huh?

I gotta admit, you're
gonna be pretty good, kid.

How many more damn sets
we gonna do tonight?

Well, we got a few more sets
to do, Miles.

What's, what's the matter?

Hey, hey, hey, Joey.

His girlfriend left him.

Oh, man, I'm sorry.
Sorry about that, Miles.

Uh, what happened?

Some young punk
slicked her away from me.

Three years and a chunk
of my heart gone.

She don't even answer
my calls anymore.

- You said, three years?
- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. And if
that ain't bad enough

I hear that, uh, Jenise is
coming tonight with this guy.

Just to rub it in his face.

- Jenise?
- Yeah.

Wait, uh, J-Jenise
wi-with a "J?"

Yeah, what difference
does that make?

Uh, nothing, I-I just,
I never know what to say

in these situations, so I always
ask for correct spelling.

Excuse me, I'm gonna
make a phone call.

So, if I have to break up
with a chief surgeon

to preserve our friendship,
then it's a small price to pay.

And I still deny
that I started

any of those horrible rumors
on you two

but I won't do it again.

Well, I'm sorry, but I just
cannot get my father-in-law

to break up with Matty.

Now, I...see it's not fair
to you, but--

Oh, honey, we don't expect
fairness from you.

Look what we had to meet
on your tariff.

Girl, this is insane! I came
here to see my brother-in-law.

I wanted to meet tomorrow.

Oh, sure. You wanted to pick
the place and the date.

What else do you wanna pick,
Eleanor, are we dressed alright?

I suggest we move this meeting
some place else.

- Some place mutual.
- Alright, alright.

Fine. Just let me go
tell my husband.

Are you sure this okay with you,
Eleanor?

We want you to be happy.

Get out of my life,
I'll be real happy.

Roc baby, daddy, the girls
are now gonna leave.

We're gonna go
some place mutual

and talk about saving
our friendship.

I think you have a better chance
saving a rainforest.

I'll see you later, baby.

- Alright, sweetheart.
- Alright.

So, where were we?

You were talking about
the vice-presidential debates.

Oh, yeah.
What a free fall!

You had Quayle talking over Gore
and Gore talking over Quayle

and Stockdale talking over
Stockdale.

Excuse me a minute, son.

Oh, man, Roc.

What's the matter?

I just found out
that my new girlfriend

is Miles' old girlfriend.

Man, he's gonna kill me
when he finds out

that I'm the one
that stole his girlfriend.

But you didn't know
she was his girl.

Yeah.
But he's not gonna believe that.

You have to keep in mind
that my reputation precedes me.

Oh, then you're really
in trouble, Joey.

Yeah, and that's not the worse
of it, see?

He knows that she's coming here
tonight with her new girlfriend.

If he sees us together,
this band is gonna be history.

Joey, this band is your ticket.

Yeah, I know.
I gotta think of something.

Uh, Roc, you be her girlfriend,
okay? Uh, her boyfriend.

Well, d-d-do what-do what?
No! No, no! I don't want...

Please, man.
Come on, please, please.

It's just for tonight. See?

If I tell him tonight,
he won't believe me. Roc.

So, please, Roc.
Just do...

'Hi, Joey.'

Hey. Uh-ah!
No, no kiss, no kiss, no kiss.

Uh, why didn't you tell me
that Miles was your boyfriend?

He's in my band.

Oh, my God! You're the kid?

Joey, Joey,
Joey, he's coming.

Uh, uh, just play along.
Just play along.

Hey, Miles.
Hey, look who's here.

Jenise, you two know each other?

- No.
- No.

Um, uh, my brother
just introduced us. Uh...

Yeah. Um, I just found out, man.
I hate to say it but, uh...

...this is Jenise's new
boyfriend.

'Isn't that right?'

Yeah, yeah.
She means a lot to me.

You? You're the guy
who's dating my Jenise?

Well, yeah. I could hardly
believe it myself.

Miles, it's just something
that happened.

I mean, I was at this party
and I looked across the room

and it was like no one else was
there but... my baby...

Roc. Roc.

- Ron...
- Oh, that's Roc.

Roc.

Yeah. Well, um, sometimes
she calls me, uh

you know, Roc, um, Ron, um,
you know, as a pet name.

- Right.
- Kinda cute, don't you think?

Wait a minute.
You're cattin' with her

and your wife's
a few feet away.

Well, yeah.
She just left.

This doesn't make sense, Jenise.

You quit me
for this garbage man.

Hey-y-y-y,
that-that's not necessary.

Alright, Miles. Forget about it.
Come on, come on.

'We got another set to go.
Just forget about it.'

Man, he better take care
of this like he said.

Okay, don't worry, Roc,
it'll all work out.

You listen to me very carefully.

It's too late for me.
I'm his brother.

But you can still save yourself.
Now, run.

Okay, alright, alright.
Thanks a lot, Curtis.

Uh, hey, Miles,
I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Yeah. See you, kid.

You better take
good care of her.

Well, am I finished now, Joey

or do you want me to go
and meet her parents?

I think Joey can handle it
from here. Thanks, Roc.

Oh, my pleasure. Um, uh,
what was that, Joey?

You needed to speak to me.
Oh, sure, sure.

- Come on.
- Excuse me.

Now, Joey, I did
this for you once

but I'm not doing it again ever.

Okay, alright.
Don't worry, Roc.

I'm not gonna do anything to
jeopardize this band, okay?

Oh, boy. Okay. I'm a, I'm
gonna break it off with Jenise

and I'll tell
Miles the truth or--

Then you better.

'Cause Miles will be hurt if
he hears this on the street.

Now, you understand?

Not much of a
people person, is he?

Eh, Jenise, eh, come on, let's
sit down for a minute, okay?

- Sure, Joey.
- Sure, have a seat.

Uh, Jenise, uh, I can't risk

Miles findin' out about us.

So, uh, so, maybe
we ought to call it quits.

- I'm sorry.
- What?

So, you're saying the
band is more important than us?

No. No, no, it's not just that.
See, it's.. I like Miles.

See, and we, we got to
think of him, Jenise, you know.

So, it doesn't
matter how we feel?

All that matters
is how Miles feels?

Uh, well, uh...

Uh, yeah, that's, um...

See, that's, that's what
I like about you, Jenise.

You, you so smart,
I'm gonna miss that.

Uh, Joey, this isn't right.

I'm not going back to Miles
no matter what you do.

It was just about
over when we met anyway.

So, he's gonna be
unhappy either way.

Why should we be unhappy too?

Yea, 'cause, uh, two unhappys
don't make a happy, do they?

Baby, I care about you.

And you care about me
and that's all that matters.

We should keep
seeing each other.

And what Miles
doesn't know won't hurt him.

Miles who?

Stay tuned for more
"Roc" live after this.

♪ Whoa whoa whoa ♪

Uh, Eleanor, Eleanor, wake
up, Eleanor, wake up, wake up.

What? What?
What's wrong, Roc?

Oh, n-n-nothing,
nothing's wrong, you know.

I just wanted you to know
that you might hear

this crazy rumor
going around that, you know

that I'm havin' an affair.

What? Who started that?

Well, you know, me, uh...

Oh, well,
you then lost your mind.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

See, um, Joey,
Joey didn't know he was dating

Miles' ex-girlfriend

and I didn't want
him to lose his band.

So to cover for him,
you know, I had to pretend

to be her, her boyfriend.

At Charlaine's?
In front of everybody?

Well, not everybody, couple of
drunks were in the bathroom--

Roc. What the heck
is wrong with you?

Now I'm the center of
a neighborhood scandal.

So, is she pretty?

- Who?
- Your mistress.

Oh, come on, Eleanor, you know
I'm not really having affair.

Besides, I feel as bad
about it as you do.

Come on, now. Now, get on
with it now. Come on.

You know, Roc, if you not
goin' beg for my forgiveness

then this not gonna
be any fun at all.

Okay then, okay, okay.
Eleanor, please, please

please forgive me, please.

That all depends.

What you gonna fix me
for breakfast in the morning?

Oh, that damn Joey.

I asked for a puppy
and I get a little brother.

I want some grits and
eggs and sausage, waffles...

Now, I'm tellin' you,
Joey is playing with fire

with that Jenise thing.

I'd give a talking to him,
if I were you.

Nah, he wouldn't
listen even if I tried.

Joey's always gone his own way.

Just opposite of his brother.

Now, Roc always minded his
parents. Took our word as law.

Aw, that's nice.

Yeah, but I still
like Joey better.

Hey, pop, is Eleanor here?
I'm supposed to meet her.

Oh, yeah, I heard.
You're in the doghouse.

Huh, so she's making
you taking her shoppin'.

Huh-huh. She's
not making me, huh.

You know, I just happen to,
you know, take an interest

in the, you know,
the kind of linen we purchase.

Excuse me, can I talk to you?

Uh, sure, sure.

Plain and simple.
Are you really seeing Jenise?

Well, didn't Joey talk to you?

No, he didn't.

And I got a funny feeling
you're covering for him.

If you are,
then I'm leaving the band.

Oh, then yes.
I'm seeing her. Mm-hum.

- You are not.
- Well, yes, I am.

What's her favorite food?

Uh, cheese.

What kinda answer is that?

Wait, wait, wait,
you, you tryin' to tell me

she doesn't like cheese?

Everybody likes cheese.

- Hey, Roc, baby.
- Hey, sweetheart.

- How you doing?
- Nerve-racking.

Oh, hi, you must be
Miles. Hi, I'm Eleanor.

Hello, Eleanor.

So, baby, you ready to go?

Oh, you must be
talkin' about the affair.

I'll go wait over by the bar.

Your wife is very understanding.

Oh, yeah, you
should meet her boyfriend.

Come off it, Roc.
I know it's Joey.

I was just hopin',
somebody around here

might be real with me.

Now, look, Miles, Miles.

Joey didn't know
Jenise was your girlfriend.

And he would've
told you right away.

He was just afraid.

He had three days.
Time's up.

The band is history.

You tell him he can go to hell.

Well, I've told him a
bunch of times. He won't go.

Ah...

Hello. Ah, Mr. Rayburn,
yeah, how you doing, man?

Uh, Saturday the 18th?

Ah, yeah, we might be available.

But, uh, as I recall,
last time we talked

you said the only thing
I could ever play

in your club was lotto.

No, no, no.
Listen, listen, listen.

Let me tell you something, Zach.

There's no way
on God's green earth

that I would
ever let my band...

How much?

Well, hell, man, let's
let bygones be bygones.

I'll come over there
at 7 o'clock. Cool. Peace.

Thank you, Mr. Rayburn.
Appreciate that.

Hey, Roc, what you
doing here, man?

- Joey, we gotta talk.
- Can't it wait?

The manager of the Blue Note
Cafe wants to book us. Gotta go.

Joey, there is no more band.

Miles found out
about you and Jenise.

How did he find out, Roc?
Did you tell him?

- No. I didn't have to tell him.
- Listen, Roc, Mr. Perfect.

I know you don't
like to lie but one little lie

to save your brother
wasn't going to kill you.

One little lie, Joey?

I stood in a bar with my
arms around your girlfriend.

Ruined my reputation.

And went to tell my wife
to tell her

that I'm not having an affair.

- So did it kill you?
- Oh, come on, Joey, shut up!

You got me to humiliate myself.

And you hurt Miles. A man
you supposedly look up to.

I mean, doesn't it bother you
that the man is in pain?

Alright, yes, yes, Roc,
it bothers me, okay.

I'll let him cool off
for a couple of days

and I'll straighten
everything out.

Joey, when are
you gonna learn, huh?

Not everything can
be straightened out.

You simply can't keep
cheating people this way.

Alright, Roc,
okay, alright, I said

I would apologize to the man.
What else you want from me?

I want you to change!

I want you to look at the
last 32 years of your life.

Your last five bands.

And what you did today,
and then you ask yourself

what have you got
to show for it all.

"Roc" live will be right back.

♪ Keep on roc.. ♪

Joey, you're killing my night
trade. Lighten it up, honey.

I'm playin' through my pain,
Charlaine, please.

Uh, I'm dedicating
this to, uh, Miles Taylor.

He's a good, decent man whose
only mistake was trusting me.

Uh, thank you,
you've been a great audience.

Uh, why not buy
everybody a round, huh?
