Alright. What I wanna know is,
who's throwing this barbecue?

And that you got to find out
if it's in Malibu

or just near Malibu,
because if it's not...

Oh, I gotta go. I gotta go.
Gotta go. Hey, thank you.

Thank you very much, man.
Hey, how you doing?

I'm Rocky Carroll welcome to
tonight's episode of "Roc" live.

Listen, I know there was
a big snowstorm back East

and, uh, I hope everybody
is bundled up and warm.

Especially, this director
back in New York

who didn't cast me in this show
over a year and half ago

which forced me
to pack up everything

and move out here to California.

I didn't wanna move, y'all.

But, you know,
when you're unemployed

and desperate,
you'll move anywhere.

Even... sunny California.

So, uh, and this is
a message from Carl Gordon

to his friend Orville, uh,
"Get well soon, please."

And to my director friend
in New York...

...here's to you,
stay warm and enjoy the show...

...coming from California,
you know the place

swimming pools, movie stars.

- Oh. Oh. Next round's on you.
- Okay, pretty boy.

You know what?

Girl, we have got to get
together after work more often.

Well, we would but we always
have to reschedule

because Cynthia
keeps cancelling on us.

Yeah, you're always snuggled up
with that new boyfriend Dennis.

Mm-mm. Tell us more
about him, girlfriend.

I see you checking off

all the lingerie in
the Victoria's Secret catalogue.

Well, what can I say?
He's just so romantic.

Would you believe
he kidnapped me from work...

...took me to dinner on a boat

where he hid
these in an oyster shell.

Oh, they're pretty.

- Oh, that's nice!
- Yes.

Girl, here's spontaneous.

One night last summer

Andrew took me
on a moonlit walk in the park.

We get to the big fountain
and suddenly he grabs my hand...

...and we jump into the water.

Matty, everybody jumps

into that fountain
in the summertime.

Uh, not to skinny dip.

- Oh, girl! No clothes?
- Not a stitch.

Ooh, you bad.

Remember last week
when Roger and I

got stuck in the elevator?

Well, it wasn't stuck,
Roger pushed the stop button.

And then he pushed
all of my buttons.

And the red
emergency button, huh?

Whoo!

Oh, well, okay.
Romantic and spontaneous, huh?

Oh, I know.

Roc bought me a box

of beautiful chocolate
candy for Valentine Day.

Well, she did say bought.

That's pretty
spontaneous for Roc.

Honey, for Roc,
that's deviant behavior.

Oh! Now, wait a minute.

Roc is romantic.

It's just that,
you know, between work

and well we're
both landlords now and...

- We're real busy, you know...
- Eleanor, we're just kidding.

But every once in a while
you've got to clock out

and take a nice
evening walk together.

Watch the stars come out and...

...be romantic.

Roc is romantic.

In a sit in front of the TV
and let's watch

the ball game kinda way.

Well, you guys just have
a mature relationship.

Girl, did I tell you that Dennis

had flowers delivered
to me on the bus?

- On the bus? Oh, no!
- Girl, he is fine.

- He loves me.
- Flowers?

On the bus! That's nice.

- Hey, Joey.
- Hey, pop.

What are you doing?

I got this song dancin' around
in my head

I'm trying to hammer it out.

Now you know, sometimes you
can't tell

if the melody works until you
hear it with the lyrics.

Mm, alright, well, check this
out. It goes like this.

♪ I got a hole in my heart ♪

♪ And I can't
stand it without you gal ♪

♪ Well well ♪

- The melody don't work.
- Come on, pop. I like the--

Now, son, not that I'm, uh...

...complaining about
your musical ability...

- 'Uh-huh.'
- But I may be able to help you.

Uh, remember that time you
and I wrote that song together?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I remember that. Uh...

Uh, well, I'm not doing good
by myself

so come on,
let's give it a shot.

- Now, I'm gonna help you.
- Okay.

- But... if we win a Grammy...
- Mm-hmm.

I'm the one going over u-up on
that stage to hug Natalie Cole.

Alright, but
if Halle Berry's up there

we're gonna fight about that.

- Well...
- Alright.

- 'I'mma take this chord here.'
- Hey, guys.

- 'Oh, hey, Eleanor.'
- Where's Roc?

Uh, he walked down to
the store to rent some videos.

Oh, well, we're not watchin'
any movies tonight.

Tonight, my husband and I...

...gonna be dancing
cheek to cheek.

Uh, excuse me, sis,
I've seen him dance.

- It's more like foot on foot.
- Oh, stop.

Come on, son. Let's go rehearse
for the, uh, Soul Train Awards.

Yeah, that's right.

Eleanor... you better have
a damn good explanation.

- For what?
- For wrecking the car!

What?

Roc, the car is fine.

Look again, Eleanor,
it's missing a hubcap.

Roc, it's just an old hubcap.

Now, come on over here...

...and sit next to me.

I got us a bottle of wine.

Why don't you go find
something to pop the cork with.

Yeah, why don't I run
it up on the curb

you know, and pop it off like
you did to that hubcap.

Roc, can we just
forget about the hubcap?

Hmm. Well, obviously,
some of us can.

Bet I could make you
forget about that hubcap.

Come here.

- Isn't that better?
- Oh.

Yeah, that's better.

Yeah!

You know what, baby, I was
thinking one of these nights

we should take
a long romantic drive.

Just look at the stars.

- Look at the stars?
- Yeah.

Eleanor, you have to keep
your eyes on the road

that's probably how you
lost that hubcap!

Roc, you know, there as a time
when I could get your mind

off of something
as meaningless as a hubcap.

Yeah, that was
before we had a car.

Can we just
get off the damn car?

Now, I'm talking about us
spending some time

together and being romantic.

W-w-well, we're
already being romantic.

You know what I mean?
Why do you think my ear's wet?

- Never mind.
- Oh.

- Never mind!
- Oh...

You know I have a funny feeling.

Eleanor's friends
are filling her head

with all sorts
of romance garbage.

You know, I knew this girls'
night out thing was a bad idea.

Oh, come on, Roc. Try and be
a little romantic for a change.

I'm romantic! Huh!

I bought her candy
for Valentine's.

Oh, Joey's right, son.

Now, that's something I learned
very early on with your mother.

And to this day, I'm glad
that I bought her flowers

and played her favorite song

and surprised her with midnight
train rides to New York.

Oh, it meant a lot to her.

Yeah, well, I just hope this is
a phase Eleanor's going through.

Come on, Roc, why don't you,
you know, for once

be spontaneous,
do something crazy.

I'm spontaneous!

Why last week, just like that...

...I took her to Charlaine's
for all-you-could-eat hot wings.

Roc, romance is
taking your woman

to a place that doesn't
hand out moist towelettes.

Roc, I got an idea.

I got reservations for two for

Cafe La Fleur for next
Friday night, alright?

Now this place is so romantic
they're building

a wedding chapel
next-door to it.

Look, it took me a month
to get this reservation.

I'mma give it to you. Go ahead,
take her, she'll love it.

Alright, I see right.

I take her out next Friday

I'd give her
whatever she wants

and then
get things back to normal.

Ha-ha!
Hey, Joey, thanks a lot.

I'm gonna go up
and tell her right now.

'Alright.'

And then...

...I'm gonna retrace her route

and see if I can
find that hubcap.

Don't go away.

There's more "Roc" live
after these messages.

Whoa!

Hey, hey. Roc, man,
you look great.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where's Eleanor?

Oh, come on, Roc.
You've got to get in the mood.

I'm in the mood
for takin' her out.

Buying and giving her
anything she wants.

So I can get back home
and enjoy myself.

Well, she's in the kitchen
putting the flowers

that you sent in some water.

Flowers? What?
Now, wait a minute, Joey.

Now I appreciate your
help with the reservations

but I don't need you
to show me how to be roman-tic.

Roc, I didn't send any flowers.

- Well then, who did?
- Oh, Roc.

The flowers are just wonderful.

And I just love the card.

Oh.
Yeah, me too. Uh...

What did I say?

Oh, come on, Roc.

Oh, yeah, that's pretty good.

I didn't know
you could be so poetic.

Well, you know me, baby.

Heh! I put a lot into it.

Did you guys know
that my husband

is taking me
to Cafe La Fleur tonight?

Really?

Boy, I heard it's hard
to get in there.

Well, uh...
Well, come on, sweetheart.

Let's-let's-let's go, baby.
You know what I mean?

I mean, you know,
the sooner we get there

the sooner we can
get the evening started.

Don't wait up.

No telling what time
my man bringing me home tonight.

'Okay.'

So, uh, pop, you bought
those flowers, didn't you?

Well, I knew Roc wouldn't.

Shoot! We're still waiting
for him to buy real furniture.

Yeah.

'I'm just saying, Eleanor.'

There's no reason
to give a valet 2.50

when street parking
is free after 6:00.

Fine, but you didn't
have to burn rubber

when the guy tried
to open your door.

- Your table.
- Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

A whole dollar.

A whole dollar
of laundry detergent.

Oh, Roc... this is so nice.

Yeah, whatever you want, baby.

Good evening. I'm Anthony
and I'll be serving you.

Uh, would you care for
something from the bar?

- Yeah, two waters.
- Oh, honey, baby.

Wouldn't you much
rather have some champagne?

Champagne is very romantic.

Yeah, right. Whatever she wants.
We'll have champagne.

Uh, very good. Very good.
Now, may I suggest Moet Chandon?

Okay, what the hell.
Two glasses.

Uh-uh-uh, I'm sorry, sir.
That only comes by the bottle.

Well, then, could you check
to see if anyone

wants to split it with us?

Oh, I'm just kidding, sweetheart.

Yeah, we'll have
the whole bottle.

- Thank you, Roc.
- Oh, well...

You know,
this is your night, baby

and, Mrs. Emerson, you're
looking especially beau-ti-ful.

Oh, thank you, Roc,
and I just love this place.

Me too.

Okay, now, our special
tonight is shrimp scampi

sauteedin a very
fine Sauvignon.

Ooh, that sounds good.
I'll have that.

Yeah, I'll have
that too, and, uh

don't skimp on the free bread.

- Roc!
- Hmm?

- Don't you wanna toast first?
- Yeah, here's to you, baby.

No, no, no. To us!

Oh, th-that's good too.
Yeah, okay.

Ah, after all,
this is your evening.

- It's our evening.
- Yeah, that's what I meant.

You keep saying it's my evening.

Whatever I want.

Oh, that's because I
want you to be happy.

You keep looking
at your watch, Roc.

Mm? Oh, I do? Oh...

You know, there's no sense
in spending all this money

on an expensive meal if you're
not gonna be in the mood.

Oh, come on, Eleanor,
don't be silly.

I don't care what it cost,
you know.

Just as long as we don't
fight like the other night.

What did you say?

I can't believe
I said that either.

- I don't care what it costs.
- No!

The part about us fighting.

You did this
because of the fight.

You brought me
to this nice restaurant

just to shut me up.

Now, come on, Eleanor. Baby...

I don't wanna sh-shut you up,
your friends maybe.

- But--
- My.. Is that what you think?

You think my friends tricked me

into wanting just a little
romance from my husband?

Well, yeah. I mean, no.
I mean, damn it's hot in here.

Roc, could you
take me home now, please?

Oh, come on, Eleanor.
It's the champagne talking.

You hardly had any champagne.

You think
they'll take it back?

What are you looking at?

- Alright, let's hear it, pop.
- Okay.

"I feel it from
my head down to my shoe.

"Without you girl,
I feel blue.

"I spend all day
thinking 'bout you.

Without you girl,
I feel blue."

Pop, you know, you keep saying
that same phrase

over and over again.
"I feel blue. I feel blue."

Yeah, well, I thought

I feel black was just
a little too political.

Back so soon?

Oh, come on, baby.
I said I was sorry.

Hey, hey, sis,
what's in that duck?

Careful that's mine,
you know.

Doesn't look like
it went too well, son.

Oh, pop,
I did everything right.

I took her
to a fancy restaurant.

I ordered
expensive champagne...

...by the bottle.

Then what happened?

She said my heart
wasn't in it.

Oh, Roc, why is it that flowers
and a nice dinner

once in a while
is hard for you?

Oh, come on, pop. I know you did
all those mushy things for mom.

You know, but I'm,
you know, that's just

that's just not me, you know.

- Sit down, son.
- Oh, Lord.

I hope this ain't-isn't one
of your stories from the '60s.

You know all those romantic
things

I said I did for your mother?

- Yeah, pop.
- Well, I exaggerated.

Wait a minute. You didn't...
You mean...

You didn't take
mom on midnight train rides?

Or play her favorite song?

Well, once.

And, well, it's been
a heavy burden on my shoulder

ever since because I
didn't do it more.

Oh, well, pop, you know, Eleanor
knows how I feel about her.

Are you sure
about that, son?

Well, yeah.

I mean, she has to know, pop.

I mean, she knows I wanna
do things for her, you know.

I mean, one day,
I'm gonna buy her a big house.

Take her on
a trip around the world.

Oh, Roc, you're
talking about goals.

Son, I'm talking
about memories.

...wanna have to tell Roc
to be romantic.

I want him to
just be romantic.

I want us to be crazy
in love like we used to be.

You know, the way Cynthia
is with her new boyfriend.

Damn, this is good.

Joey.

Oh.

I'm sorry, sis. Go ahead.

I'm listening. I'm listening.

It's just that I don't want Roc
and I to end up

like some of those old couples
I see at the hospital.

Sitting there for hours not
saying a word to each other.

Staying together 'cause they
done got used to each other.

I don't wanna end up like that.

Like... strangers.

Sis, I'm gonna tell you
something, okay?

And, uh, you got to promise not
to repeat this to anybody, okay?

Yeah.

- I envy, Roc.
- What?

I envy Roc.

You envy, Roc?

Ugh! Sounds so much
worse when you say it.

Yeah, b-b-but it's true.

I mean, look I do
all those romantic things

that you think
Roc should do right?

Plus, probably a few you
never even heard of, but...

But what do I get?

I mean, I get a few laughs,
I get a little bit of affection

and then I get
to go home alone.

Roc comes home to you.

Eleanor, he lives for that.

Well, I guess so.

Alright, question.

What is it
that Roc used to do

before you were married
that he doesn't do now?

- Lots of things.
- Like what?

Well, he-he used to take me on
carriage rides by the harbor...

No, that was Tyrone.

Oh, I know,
he used to write me...

No, that was somebody else, too.

You know, Joey,
come to think of it.

Roc's never really
been very romantic.

Except if he
found a perk that day.

You know, sis...

...when you work
a double-shift at the hospital...

- Yeah?
- ...Roc waits up for you.

- Yeah.
- That's your carriage ride.

When he rubs your tired
feet till you fall asleep...

...that's your poem.

Now, that's not
the kind of romance

that they make movies
about, but hey, that's Roc.

So, you know, don't compare him
to anybody else

'cause Roc is definitely
not like anybody else.

Oh, Joey.

- Thank you.
- Ah!

How come you ain't
bring home any dessert?

You done ate up everything?

I'm serious.
I-I need something sweet.

Romance her, son.

If you don't, you may
wind up regretting it.

Hey, thanks, pop.

You're welcome, son.

Well, Eleanor...

...I'm sorry
for hurting you tonight.

Oh, Roc, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't even
pushed you into something

you really didn't want to do.

Oh, that's.. You know, it's not
like I don't wanna be romantic.

It's just that,
you know, you know...

You know...

...I'm just not
good at it, you know.

Roc, you're lousy at it

but you are good...

...at so many other things.

Eleanor, you wanna go
out to the backyard and...

...look at the stars?

I'd love to.

Eleanor baby,
you're the greatest.

Well, Loretta, that's another
week with a roof over my head.

"Roc" live will be right back.

Nah, that's no good.

Yeah, I know.

Pop, I think we should
just call it quits, man.

I guess trying to write
a song together

was just a bad idea, huh?

Well, it wasn't this hard
when we did it the first time.

I got an idea, pop. What if
we, uh... sing that old song?

Maybe it'll get us back
on track for this one.

- Good thinking.
- Good, good.

- You remember how it went?
- Word for word.

Alright, let me hear it.

♪ The little fat dog
went arf arf arf ♪

♪ Arf arf arf ♪

♪ Arf arf arf ♪

♪ The little fat dog
went arf arf arf ♪

♪ All day long ♪

Pop, you just sang one of the
stupidest songs I ever heard.

We wrote that mess?

Well, you liked it
when you were seven.

Man, come on.
Sing a little with me.

You must be out of your mind.
I ain't singing...

♪ The little fat cow went moo ♪

No, oh...
