We're gonna be ready in a
minute. Alright, alright.

Alright. Watch the kinks.
Ow! That hurt.

Oh, hi!

Uh, well, I'm Ella Joyce
and this is "Roc" live.

You know, the episode you're
about to see has gone through

many changes
during the last week.

We actors never know
from one day to the next

what the writers
are gonna come up with next.

Of course, they haven't bothered
to make my part any bigger

but who gives a damn.

Point is,
I'm very professional.

I've learnt
to think on my feet.

I know how to roll
with the punches.

I know how to handle these
last minute script changes.

- Ella.
- Huh?

Oh, ladies and gentlemen,
Corbin Bernsen.

Hey. Ella, Ella, Ella!

Ella, the writers
just sent us some changes.

What? See, see what I mean?

They sent me these
last minute changes.

And I handled them?

And you,
give me this brush.

'Enjoy the show.'

Hey, pop!
I just finished cleanin' out

some stuff up in the attic.

You're not gonna believe the
kinda stuff Roc keeps up there.

Check this out.
A disco ball.

Now why would Roc wanna keep
this way up in the attic

when it would look so groovy
over the kitchen table.

- Hey, pop, did you hear that?
- What?

I thought I heard somebody say...

♪ Burn baby burn ♪

♪ Disco inferno ♪

♪ Burn baby burn ♪

♪ Burn that mother down ♪

♪ All the way burn baby burn ♪

Joey! Joey!

♪ Burn ba.. ♪

Joey, boogie your noisy butt
back on up to the attic.

- I'm tryin' to get some sleep.
- I'm sorry, pop.

Disco ball, I just flipped,
you know.

Come on, pop,
you sound a little cranky.

You know, maybe you should try
gettin' some sleep at night.

Son...

...do you notice
your new bedroom

is directly over my head?

And when you blow
on that trumpet

instead of countin' sheep

I'm countin' the seconds before
I go up there and kill you.

Well, you know,
I'm sorry, pop, but you know

since Roc hired me as his super

the only time I get
to practice is at night.

Don't get me wrong, son.

I enjoy listenin' to you
play around midnight.

What I don't enjoy
is listenin' to you

play around 3 o'clock
in the mornin'.

- Hey!
- Hey, everybody.

- Hey, son.
- Eleanor home yet?

Yeah, she's in the kitchen.
Hey, is that a juicer, Roc?

It sure is.

Oh, great.

Now, we can't even
throw out the...

...brown lettuce and the furry
tomatoes. We got to drink 'em.

Yeah. Well, in some countries,
that's a delicacy.

Mmm.

Somethin' in here
is makin' my mouth water.

- That's the meat loaf.
- I was talking about you, baby.

- Oh, well, you in a good mood.
- That's right.

Starting right now, I'm puttin'
us on the high road to success.

Oh, yeah?
And how do you exactly

plan on gettin' us
to the high road?

First thing, Monday mornin',
I'm quittin' my job.

I see, so, we're gonna
take the high road

and get off
at that first exit?

No, I'm serious, baby.
I'm serious.

You won't believe
what happened today.

I told you about that rich guy
on my route, Jim Larson?

Yeah, that guy
who owns that chain

of dry cleaners
and convenience stores?

Yeah, that's him. Well, he's...
Well, we've become good friends.

And today we're talkin'
and he tells me

he wants to set me up
in my own business.

Roc, baby,
you don't know anything

about any of those business.

Yeah, but I know
plenty about garbage.

I'm gonna be runnin' my own
waste management company.

Roc, that sounds great, baby

but have you thought
this thing through?

I mean, you're gonna be
missing out on your seniority

and your pension, and your
benefits, and your perks.

Oh, yeah. Damn, yeah.

Well, you know, I always wanted
to be my own boss, you know.

And this is my chance.
This is our chance.

Ah, but I'm gonna
miss those great perks.

Well, you're gonna
be a businessman.

And you can buy us a whole new
brand new set of perks.

Yeah, that's right and with
all the money I'll be rakin' in

pretty soon you'll be able to
stop working these crazy hours.

In fact, you could quit

and do something, uh, you know,
way more satisfyin'.

Really?

Like what?

Like, you know...

...be a housewife.

Now, who that's gonna satisfy?

Well, not-not me, you know.
I like a workin' woman.

You know, a wo-woman who works.

You know, you.. What do you
think of this juicer here?

So, my bookie comes up
to me and he goes

"Aye, Joey Emerson, you just
lost all that money

bettin' on a Super Bowl.
What are you gonna do now?"

Well, I sure can afford
to go to Disney World.

That's for damn sure.

Mm-hmm.

Fifty two to 17, man.
That's it. That's it.

I'm through bettin'
on the Super Bowl.

So, pop, you think the Nicks
will go all the way this year?

Mmm.

Pop, you alright?

'Cause all you've
been sayin' is "Mmm."

Hey, pop.

Hey, uh, hey, hey, pop.

Oh, I'm sorry, son.

I was just tryin' out
these new earplugs.

They work real fine.

You can practice your trumpet
all you want tonight.

Oh, well,
thank you very much, pop

but I figure
you won't be needin' 'em long.

You see, as soon as Roc
gets his business deal going

I figure, he'll move us
to a big house on a huge estate

and there'll be miles
of rollin' hills between us.

Yeah, and when Roc promotes you
from super to, uh...

...gardener, you'll be rollin'
all over those hills

behind the lawn mowers.

That'll be the last thing
I'd do...

- Hey.
- Hey, son!

Well, you sure look like you're
ready for that big meeting.

I was born ready, pop.

Yeah, that's what we like
to hear, Roc. Confidence.

That's the key to
fast livin' and easy money.

Well, Joey,
confidence isn't enough.

You've to have something
to back it up.

See, I've got a plan for how
to deal with this business guy.

You can sum up
in three words.

Negotiate, intimidate, ingratiate.

Now, Roc, you've been readin'

quips and quotes
of Jesse Jackson.

Hey, pop, everything
I do has a purpose.

First, I start off
with a strong handshake

to show authority.

Then I pick the table.

That way I take control.

And when we sit down to talk...

...I look him
straight in the eye

and never blink.

- Sounds like a plan.
- Sounds good.

- Hey, Roc!
- Hey, Jim!

How you doin'?

Hey!

Well, well, Jim, I want you
to meet my father, Andrew.

And , uh, this is
my brother, Joey.

- Hey!
- Hey.

Well, this place is great, huh?
So much character.

You know, all it needs here,
a couple of video games

espresso machine.

I smell opportunity.

No. We're just
close to the harbor.

Hey, Jim, let's sit,
sit right over here.

Nah! Flexibility.

Great. Alright.

Okay, Jim... let's get started.

Alright,
first off as we agreed.

I put up all the money,
you supply the labor.

That's right.

I've even begun
lining up a route for you

but remember,
you run it any way you want.

You're in charge.

- I like the sound of that.
- Good. Nice.

Starting salary, before profit
sharing, will be fifty thousand.

What?

Is something wrong?

Uh, well, no, yeah-yeah-yeah.

Um, woo! What about my perks?

I see where you're coming from,
okay, okay, how about, uh

four health and dental plan,
three weeks paid vacation

and on, uh, special occasions

use of the company condo
in scenic Secaucus, New Jersey.

Huh?

Huh?

- Do we have a deal?
- Uh, let me think about it.

Okay, I thought about it.
We've got a deal.

Okay. Look, let's celebrate
with something special.

- Two beers! Okay.
- Alright. I'm in.

Congratulations, Roc.

We're gonna be the tsars
of waste management.

- 'Cause we're smart.
- That's right.

Now, you remember, the key is
the right man for the right job.

Yeah, I know that. Listen, I got
a friend who's a mechanic--

Whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no,
Roc, Roc, when it comes

to maintaining our trucks

I got this Puerto Rican guy,
he's a real whizz.

Jose, Carlos, Pedro, whatever.
They got the whole family of 'em

even the baby
knows how to change the oil.

That's funny.

And when it comes to
watchin' over our finances

I got to introduce you
to Ira Blumberg.

He's got a nose for numbers.

A nose.

Listen, well, Eleanor, Eleanor
has some accountin' classes.

- You know, she can--
- Roc.

Roc, you just
concentrate on the labor.

I mean, come on, let's face it,
when it comes to hard workers

you people are hard to beat.

Me people?

Roc, I know that your people

were the backbone
of this country.

Yeah, yeah,
well, we, you know, we tried.

You see, I'm part
of the rainbow coalition.

And you, you're my
million dollar brother.

Yo! High-five.

Don't dare go away,
there's more live "Roc"

right after these messages.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I should have
walked out on him, pop.

No, no, I should've hit him.

Instead...

...I high-fived him.

Well, the high-five
was alright, Roc.

It was that little butt bump
y'all did that was embarrassing.

I can't believe
my new business partner

is Marge Schott.

Oh, man, you know, I don't know
why I didn't tell him

where he could shove
his partnership.

I know why,
'cause you're smart.

Yeah, or because the little
racist was buying the drinks.

Oh, come on, pop.
You of all people.

You know, I can't go
into business with this guy.

Whoa! Whoa! Wait a minute,
wait a minute.

Now, Roc, come on,
listen to yourself.

Come on now. Everyday you deal
with guys like Larson, right?

Who-who, you know, for whatever
reason are-are bigots

and they don't, and they
don't even know it, right?

I mean, it's the bank teller
that says to you, uh

"Can I see an extra piece of ID,
please? Like a fingerprint."

Right? Or-or the sales clerk
that follows you around

the store goin',
"Can I help you?

Can I help you?
Can I help you?"

Well, you know, they just think
they're doin' their jobs

but they do it a little harder
when we come around.

Oh, pop, Joey, look,
I know all of that.

Well, Roc, since you know that,
it shouldn't stop you

from getting
your piece of the pie.

Well, Joey, that's the
difference between you and me.

See, I have principles.

Hey, I got-I got principles too.

Joey, your idea of principles
is not going to the track

on Mother's Day.

Look, Roc,
you're always talking about

how Eleanor has
to work so hard, right?

Well, now, here's your chance
to do somethin' about it.

Come on, Roc,
think about the money.

Oh, pop, you know
what I'm talkin' about.

Explain it to him.

Oh, now, Roc, when I was
a porter on the railroad

you think I enjoyed being
called Sam or Joe or Uncle?

Ah!

I did it because
I had a family to support.

And it was important to me.

Now, son...

...we've all got
to take a little crap

in this life sometimes.

You just need to decide
what's important for you.

And then you'll know
how much crap you got to take.

So, Roc, you wanna
change the world?

You get the power first.

You take that man's money,
you build your business

you stick it to 'em.

Are you sayin' I should go into
business with this racist?

I'm sayin' if this racist wants
to use you to make money

then you use that racist
to make a difference.

- 'Oh, hey, daddy.'
- Mm-hmm.

It's 2:00 a.m.
What you still doin' up?

Well, Joey was practicing
his trumpet again.

Well, I thought you bought
yourself some earplugs?

I did, but every time
I wear 'em

I can hear myself breathin'.

And when I fall asleep
I keep dreamin'

that I'm being chased
by Dark Vader.

Well, daddy,
maybe you should try

stickin' some cotton
in your ears.

Well, that might work
for the sleeping

but I refuse to wake up
every mornin' pickin' cotton.

Hey, pop.

Oh, what are you
doing down here?

Are you followin' me?

Uh, pop, look, I-I,
I was just wonderin'

could you come back upstairs

and bang that broom on
the ceiling again?

It was kinda helpin' me
keep time, you know?

- Yeah, I can come--
- Okay, never mind.

Never mind, never mind, pop.

Okay, okay.

- Hey, Eleanor.
- Oh, Roc baby, I'm sorry.

- Did I wake you?
- I can't sleep.

Oh, well,
that's alright, baby.

I'm sleepy enough
for the both of us.

So, tell me,
how did your meetin' go?

Is my husband on his way
to makin' his first million?

You know, Eleanor, I've been
thinkin' about losing my perks.

I mean, you have
to admit, you know

we've, we've gotten
some really

great things over the years.

Well, yeah, baby,
we have gotten some...

...some things.

Now, I've made some
really good friends

you know, working
for the city and, uh...

Well, are you startin'
to have second thoughts?

- Well...
- Oh, baby, come on.

Now, just think about
your new friends.

Now, this Larson guy
seems like a very nice guy.

Oh, baby.

It's hard for everybody when
they're takin' their first step

to have second thoughts.

And I want you to know...

...I'm really proud
of what you doin'.

And I think you should be
proud of yourself too.

Yeah, I'm proud. You know,
I mean, why shouldn't I be?

I'm the backbone
of this country.

- Hey, pop.
- Uh-huh.

- Ready to go to movies.
- Oh, sure.

- What are we goin' to see?
- Going to see "Home Alone 2."

Oh, I hate
those "Home Alone" movies.

Why is it that every time
a little black kid gets lost

in the big city,
it's called loitering?

But when it happens
to a little white boy

it's the feel good hit
of the season?

- I got it.
- Alright.

- Oh, hey.
- Hey, hey, it's Joey, right?

- Right, right, right.
- And you're, uh...

- Andy.
- And you're, uh...

Jimbo.

- Jim.
- Andrew.

So, you and my brother

are gonna make
a lotta money together, huh?

Yup, yup, you know, I'm gonna
talk to Roc about hiring family.

I like to see people
take care of their own.

I know that's something
you people believe in.

- Hey, how you doin', Jim?
- Hey, Roc.

Just brought by the contract
for you to sign.

Good.

Well, we'll leave you
two to talk business.

'Right.'

Uh, my son's takin' me
to see "Malcolm X."

You know, the movie
about the African-American

who awakened the country to the
insidious nature of racism?

Hey, I really
enjoyed that movie.

But you know who would've made
the quintessential Malcolm?

- Who?
- Eddie Murphy.

Okay, okay, okay.
Come on.

Alright, Roc,
here's the contract.

It's pretty simple stuff.

Just your standard partnership
agreement. You sign right there.

Okay. Everything we agreed
to is on this paper?

Oh, yeah. Yup, yup, yup.

Hey, I talked to this
Iranian friend of mine.

He's gonna get us great deals
on some reconditioned trucks.

Oh, hello.

Oh, I'd like you to meet my
wife, Eleanor. Jim Larson.

- Hey, it's a pleasure.
- It's nice to meet you too.

You know, I'm really proud
of what you and Roc are doin'

and I want you to know I,
I wish you both much success.

Well, thank you, thank you.

- So you're a nurse, huh?
- 'Oh, yeah.'

That is such
a noble profession.

Well, only when we hear
their call buttons.

Well, she's terrific.
You must be very proud.

Yeah, I sure am, and she's up
for a big promotion too.

- Head nurse.
- Yeah.

Well, she's a shoo-in for that.

Oh, you really think so?

Oh, black and a woman?
A two-fer.

A-a-a two-fer?

Yeah, hey, Roc,
I want you to know

I've always been a supporter
of affirmative action.

People say we aren't making
great strides in this.

Alright, that's it, dammit.
Let me tell you somethin'.

My wife's promotion has nothing
to do with affirmative action.

- Well, good.
- My wife is smart.

She had to work her butt off
to graduate third

in her nursing class,
and she's still workin' hard.

Hey, I-I-I'm not sayin'
she's smart, not smart

and I, and I know
she's a hard worker.

You know somethin',
you know somethin', Larson?

- You're a damn racist.
- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Roc, take it easy. Look, if I
said somethin' wrong, I'm sorry.

I'm not a racist.
I'm on your side.

And you know, y-you're
the worst kind of racist

because you don't even know
you are one.

You're being awfully
sensitive about this.

Damn right, I'm sensitive.

I've to deal with you
people all my life.

You think just because you give
some work to some Latinos

or buy trucks from an Iranian

or go into business with
a black man, that you're okay.

Well, you're not okay with me.

You know what,
I don't wanna be your mill...

Find yourself another
million dollar brother.

Why is that the first that
you people always go to, racism?

Well, you know somethin'...

...Roc, I don't want you
to be my partner.

You're a racist.

You see these eyes,
they're color blind.

I only want to be in business
with people like me.

Well, then move to South Africa
and you can take your pick.

You should be
ashamed of yourself.

Do you have a picture of
Martin Luther King on your wall?

I swear, Roc baby, if I have
to do another double shift

they might as well
roll me out of bed

and prop me up
at my station.

You know,
I found out Larson's a bigot.

I mean, I thought
that guy was my friend.

What happened?

Well, I got a picture
of the inside of his mind.

I mean, he thinks
blacks are hard workers.

Latinos are natural mechanics
and Jews are good with money.

Roc, that's nothin' new.
We've dealt with bigots before.

- They are fact of life.
- Yeah, I know that, Eleanor.

But nobody wanted this
to work more than me, you know?

But being business partners
is like being married, you know?

I didn't wanna have to
live with this guy

pretendin' that his racists
jokes are funny.

No, Roc, and you
shouldn't have to.

Now this is not
the only opportunity

that we ever gonna have, honey.

Yeah, I know, baby,
but you know somethin'?

Larson was right
about one thing.

It is about the right man
for the right job.

And I'm the right man.

This just wasn't the right job.

- We're gonna get there, baby.
- Yeah, I know, sweetie pie.

- Oh!
- Mm, one way or another.

- Yeah.
- Right on...

Kitchen table.

"Roc" live will be right back.

Oh, that's it.

That's it.
I've had it.

What? Listen, pop,
what's the ma...

I'm-I'm practicing, pop.
What's the matter?

What's-what's...
Is someone at the door?

Wh-wh-what you doin'?

What? Aye, aye,
aye, pop, wait.

'Hey, come on, pop.
Okay, alright, okay, pop.'

I get it.
I'll stop practicing.

Thanks.
It's gettin' cold out here.

'Pop! Come on!'

'Come on, pop.'

'Come on, pop.'

'Please.'

'Hey!'
