'Dr. Bruce to telephone, please.
Dr. Bruce to telephone..'

Ah! Sis!
What-what are you doing up?

You're supposed to be in labor.

I am. It's been ten hours.

But it's good for me
to walk around...

Look at her, pop,
walking around chattin'.

Women always complain
about how painful labor is

but you look like,
you look like me

relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.

Yeah, or a Monday morning
or a Wednesday night.

Pick any day of the week.

You see, Joey, the most
difficult thing about labor

is that the contractions
keep coming every few minutes.

Ow, ow!
Baby, my hand!

Okay, okay, okay.

Man, labor is painful.

Even for bystanders.

We better get you
back to your room

before you have
another contraction.

I don't wanna have to pull these
press-on nails outta my arms.

That's alright, daddy.
I'll walk myself back.

I don't want you to hear me

cussing Roc out for
getting me into this.

Uh, okay...

Man, they should have better
security in these hospitals

so pregnant women
don't get out and hurt people.

Hey! Hey, where's Eleanor?
Have you see Eleanor?

I went for coffee and came back
and she wasn't there anymore.

I've been looking all over
for her. Where's my wife?

- Where's my wife?
- She went around the corner.

Okay, good, good.
Eleanor, wait!

- Don't start without me!
- Hey, Roc!

Approach with caution!

- Another contraction.
- Another contraction.

Now just concentrate,
baby, concentrate. Come on.

Give me one more push
and then we can rest.

- What do you mean "We," Roc?
- Oh--

You say "We" one more
time, I'll kill you.

Oh, okay, okay. You gonna
be fine. You gonna be fine.

It hurts so bad!

Don't think about that.
Ju-just think about the future.

Look, we're finally gonna
have a family, right? Okay.

And we're gonna get
that semi-detached house.

Eleanor, with all new
furniture, nothing from trash.

- You are lying, Roc.
- Yeah, I know--

You are lying!
You are lying!

I know, I know. But it took
your mind off the pain...

Here comes another contraction!

That's it, baby. Come on,
push. Push. There it is.

Push! Push! Push!
There it is, baby.

You got it. Come on!
Come on! Okay. Come on.

Aha! Hey, Eleanor,
look at this. Hey.

See that? See, it's a boy.

Look at that. We did it,
sweetheart. We did it.

Hey, how are y'all doing?

- Hey.
- I'm somebody's uncle now.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, Uncle Russell.
I'm on my way to the racetrack.

Why don't you go with me?
I'm on a winning streak.

Oh, Joey. You heard
what Roc said last night.

If he caught you gambling again

he was gonna kick you out
on the street.

What, you believe him, pop?
Come on.

There are
three things Roc always says.

"Joey, I'm kicking you out."
"Joey, get a job."

and, "Hey, who threw
that coupon away?"

Hey, hey, hey!
Hey! Here they come.

Oh, I hate that Eleanor. She's
already got her figure back.

- 'Baby's comin'!'
- Alright! Hey-hey! Hey!

Here he is, everybody!

The newest addition
to the Emerson family.

Oh, boy, what a turnout!

All these people here
just to see my son.

Well, I guess they all
want to see the first thing

you ever brought into
this house that was new.

Oh, my kitten,
isn't he something?

Oh, let me see my grandson.

- Will you look at that.
- Uh-huh.

- Well, he got Eleanor's eyes.
- 'Mm-hmm.'

- Yeah, Eleanor's nose.
- 'Uh-huh.'

Well, that's
definitely Roc's mouth.

Ah, that's one beautiful
child they got there.

Mm-hmm. Are you
considering having children?

'Cause I think
they'd be drop-dead gorgeous.

Hmm, well, thank you.
But that won't happen.

I'm gay.

O-oh, I'm sorry. I-I mean,
I don't mean I'm sorry.

I'm sure you're happy
with the life you've chosen.

Well, not that
you had a choice.

But then again, maybe
it was your choice.

Either way, I think
you have a perfect right

to serve in the armed forces.
Excuse me.

Mrs. Emerson, may I
hold the baby, please.

Oh, sure, sweetie.
Sit down.

Now make sure you
support his head.

Now, y'all shouldn't
hold the baby so much.

- You're gonna make him spoiled.
- Oh, Ernie, that's not true.

The more you hold the baby,
the more he feels loved.

Right, I got four kids.
I know what I'm talking about.

Yeah, and every one of them
is spoiled rotten to the core.

That's how I know.

Yeah, well, thanks
for the advice, everybody

but it's our son and we're
gonna raise him our way.

Yeah, that's right.
Our way.

Joey, you're not
qualified to raise corn.

Well, Roc, I tell ya, I'm sure
you'll make a great father.

'Yeah.'

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Ernie! Do you have a cold?

No. It's my allergies.

A-a-are you sure?
I mean, it's flu season.

It's flu season.
Everybody, out. Everybody, out.

Roc, you can't throw out
mama and Uncle Russell.

- They're family.
- Okay, they can stay.

But the rest can
see the baby later.

Just bring a doctor's note.
Out! Out! Out!

And when you come back,
bring me my money.

Look, I hope I wasn't rude,
you know

but I was just looking
out for the baby, you know.

I wanna bring him up
healthy and strong

with the right values
and the right environment

and with the right influences--

Uh, Roc's making a speech.
Run for your life.

I'll show you how
to hold that baby.

Um, Elea-Eleanor, Eleanor, can
I see you a minute, sweetheart?

Sure, sweetie. Mm.
What is it?

Now, sweetheart, look, I know
you really want your mother here

but, you know,
I was kinda hoping, you know

we'd spend some time
alone with the baby.

Aw, well, I was too, Roc,
but you know

I'd like her to
get to know her grandson, and...

Roc honey, I know
you and mama haven't really

gotten along in the past,
but maybe things will be

a little different
with the baby here and all.

Hey, hey, where-where'd y'all
get these cheap blankets?

Roc, did you find 'em
in the trash somewhere?

I bet they're not
even flame retardant.

Yeah, well, let's find out.
Breathe on 'em.

Got it. Hey!

Hey! Aunt Francis.

Uh, yeah. Uh-huh.
That's-that's right.

Seven pounds four ounces.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Cousin Johnny was seven
pounds and three ounces, huh?

Oh, uh-huh. Well, you
know what, Aunt Francis?

I'd love to stay here and talk
all day, but.. Hey, pop is here.

Yeah, pop wants to say
hello to you. Pop, it's Aunt...

Uh, Aunt Francis,
guess who else is here?

I.. Uh, uh.. Uncle Russell's
here. Yeah, here he is...

Hey, Aunt Francis,
uh, you're gonna love

the newest addition to our
family. She's sitting here.

Sheila, this is Aunt Francis.
Why don't you say...

Sheila. Sheila!

Uh, hey, Aunt Francis, yeah.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Ye...

Oh, Cousin Betty was
nine pounds and four ounces.

Well, she carries it well. Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Uh, uh, uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Oh, you gotta be kiddin' me.

Oh, Roc, look.
This gift is from Ernie.

Look, it's a little bowl
and cup set for the baby.

Oh, that's really nice.

But it's not nice
enough for my grandson.

- Oh, mama!
- 'Mm-hmm.'

It's beautiful.
Real sterling silver.

Yeah, Whitney Houston got
the same set for her baby.

Yeah, well, we're not just gonna
throw Ernie's gift out.

It may not have
cost as much as yours

but it came from the heart.

All I'm just saying is,
I want my grandson

to enjoy a life of luxury.

Well, I know that's
your philosophy, mama.

You probably even bought your
designer silk sheets, right?

That's right. That's right.

And I would appreciate it
if my big, strong son-in-law

would carry my bag to the vacant
apartment next-door. Thank you.

Oh, and, mama,
you gonna love that place.

It's really a cute little place.

Yeah, but why are you having so
much trouble renting it, Roc?

I know you don't have much
of a business sense

but if you're gonna be
a landlord, do it right.

- Develop a sale strategy.
- Oh, I have a strategy.

I figured, I'd let, you know,
let it sit empty for months

get desperate and rent
it to the first drifter

with $20 in his pocket!
Sound good to you?

Roc. Um, can I see
you for a minute?

Now, Roc,
now listen, honey.

Now I know my mama can
be a pain in the neck.

Oh, the pain's a lot
lower than that, Eleanor.

Roc, would you do me
a personal favor, honey?

Would you just try
and rise above it?

- Eleanor, I tried to ignore--
- Roc, Roc, Roc, please.

Now, I don't wanna listen
to you two fight. Okay?

- Now would you do this for me?
- Oh, yeah. Alright.

Whatever you want,
sweetie pie.

Um, I-I'm gonna
go and take a nap.

Oh, don't worry,
I'll take care of the baby.

- And the little one, too.
- Mama!

No, I-I-I'm rising,
Eleanor. I'm-I'm rising.

Ugh, so, Roc,
Eleanor told me

that you're trying to get
a management job at work.

Well, um...

Well, you know, um...

- You know, I-I didn't get it.
- Why not?

Oh, I got beat out
by another guy at work

who's a real phony,
you know.

He doesn't know
the job half as well as I do

but because, you know,
he knows how to, you know

play politics, he just
weaseled his way in there.

Uh, well, Roc, sometimes it's
very important to politickin'

if you wanna keep your job.
How else are ya gonna get ahead?

Well, Margaret, you know,
I thought, you know

uh, as odd as it may
sound, I thought

hard work would do the trick.

Yeah, well, that's nice.

But it's time you learned
that you need personal charm

if you wanna
succeed in your field.

Well, Margaret, how charming
do I have to be?

I'm a garbageman,
not a maitre d'!

Oh, he needs his pacifier.

No, no, I don't want
my son using a pacifier.

It'll give him buck teeth.

Now, now,
he's just a little thirsty.

I'll get him a water bottle.
Tryin' to get...

Tryin' to make my kid
to be a little buck-teeth boy.

There. That's better.

Who-o-oa.

Who's Grandma Carter's
little charmer, hmm?

Oh-h-h, look at that smile.

Whoa. You remind me
of my brother, William.

He was a great salesman
and he could charm, charm--

Take that pacifier
out of his mouth.

I don't want my son
usin' a pacifier.

And he's not gonna be a phony
salesman either, you know.

And if you
can't accept that, maybe

you shouldn't be here
takin' care of him.

- Roc, are you throwing me out?
- No, I'm not throwin' you out.

I'm just open the door,
if you wanna leave

you got a straight shot.

- You, you're throwing me out.
- No!

I'm just putting your
bag out for some fresh air.

Tell Eleanor I'll be
at the Harbor Court Hotel.

"Tell Eleanor I'll be
at the Harbor Court Hotel."

Now you saw that, mm?
You see that?

I charmed your grandmother
right out of the house.

"Roc" Live will be right back.

Ooh, that feels better.

Oh-h-h.

Look at that
little angel sleepin'.

Roc, thanks for
giving me a break, baby.

- Alright, sweetie pie.
- Muah.

Where's mama?

Uhh... mama, uh...

You know, you know, she
came up with this great idea.

She checked into a hotel.
Mm-hmm.

- What?
- Mm-hmm.

Roc, did you fight with mama?

You promised you would
try to rise above it.

Eleanor, the stuff
she was throwing at me

I would have had to be on a
space shuttle to rise above it.

Now was it her idea
to leave or yours?

Well, you know, it-it
wa-was a mutual decision.

You know,
we're working together now.

Oh, Roc!

Roc, you better have
a good explanation

for throwing my mama
outta the house.

Hello? Oh, mama.
Mama, I'm so glad you called.

What happened
between you and Roc?

- He threw you out...
- 'No, no..'

- Over the pacifier.
- I-I object.

Roc... you and I
are gonna have to talk.

Mama, I'm so sorry.
No, really, I am.

Hey, family.

Hey, Joey.

Nice suit. Where'd you
get the money for it?

What do you care?
It didn't come from you.

Oh, hey, Joey.
Nice suit.

Where'd you get
the money for it?

Why is everybody so
interested in my finances?

Can't y'all be happy that
I look good and I got my health?

You won that money
at the track, didn't you?

Well, you had your health.

I convinced mama
to come back.

Roc, you and I
still need to talk.

It'll have to wait, baby.
Joey and I gotta talk.

- Hey, Joey. Nice suit.
- 'Hey.'

Where'd you
get the money for it?

So you were down at the track,
weren't you?

Yeah, Roc,
and I hit the pick-six, too.

Now, Joey, didn't I tell you
if you gambled in this--

Alright, wait, Roc-Roc, wait,
hold it, before you get started

now let me say this, alright,
now I've been doing

some thinkin',
now I spent my life

living off of you and dependin'
on my family for support.

So now that I got some money
in my pocket, I figured

hey, maybe it's time
that I move out

and finally
get a place of my own.

- Well, then, good!
- I'll start right now.

- Okay, you do that.
- Hey, son.

Why don't you let Joey
rent the apartment next-door?

- Shhh!
- Ohh! That's a great idea.

Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's a great idea.

- We were so close, baby.
- Roc!

For years you've been sayin'
you want Joey to pay rent.

This way he'll be forced
to get a job

if he wants to
keep the apartment.

And besides, renting to Joey

is better than havin'
the place sit vacant.

- Oh, no, no, pop--
- Come on, Roc.

I promise, I'll make
the rent every month, I promise.

Joey, maybe I don't
want you around here

under any circumstances.

Well, Roc, I'm part owner
of this property, too.

And I say we rent to him.
We need the money, Roc!

Now more than ever
with the baby here.

Alright-alright-alright,
do-do whatever you want.

- Yes! Yes!
- Well, come on, Joey.

I'll help you
get started up there.

Uh, uh, excuse me,
uh, Mr. Landlord.

Uh, I hear that there's
some rusted plumbing

and that there's a cracked
window above the kitchen sink...

Well, now that you have your own
place and something to do.

Roc... what is
going on with you?

You threw my mother
out the house

you don't want
Joey staying here

even though he's
willing to pay some rent.

You're throwing
people out on the st...

- What's going on with you?
- Oh, Eleanor. See, baby...

It's just I've been thinkin'
about the baby a lot lately.

Well, what's the baby got
to do with all this?

Eleanor... I didn't
throw your mother out

because of a pacifier.

I told her I got beat out my

outta my promotion by a guy
at work who's a real phony.

And she starts goin' on
about how that's a, a good thing

and how it's important,
you know, to have charm.

And then she's holding the baby
saying, you know, he had charm.

And, you know, and-and,
Eleanor, you know, I...

I wanna bring our baby up
with the right values, you know?

He's gonna have
a lot of influences on him

when he's out there,
so while he's in here

I wanna know
he's being taught right.

And if your mother's gonna
teach him that what's important

in life is to be... phony
and have expensive things

and to look down
on people who don't...

...then I'm sorry, sweetheart,
I do not want her around him.

I see.

And as for Joey...

...Eleanor, see, you know...

...I don't want
Joey teachin' our son

that hard work
is a big joke.

And that you can get by
in life schemin' and gamblin'

and, and living off people.

So, you know,
so when we were talkin' about

rentin' the apartment
I guess I was feeling like...

...I was feelin' like
I didn't want Joey

around the baby either.

I mean, do you understand what
I'm saying, sweetheart?

Am I making any
sense here at all?

Oh...

Eleanor. Roc.

I'm willing to forget
what happened today.

And, Roc, you don't
have to apologize.

That's right, mama.
He doesn't have to apologize.

At least not until
you apologize to him.

- What?
- 'Mama..'

How was he supposed to feel

when you put him down for
not getting that promotion.

Now, I'm glad Roc's the kinda
man that doesn't act phony

just to get ahead.
I love that about him.

And I'm hoping our son grows
up to be the exact same way.

All I'm saying is
in order to succeed, baby--

Mama, mama, please,
let's not even go there.

Now you know I love you

and I know you have the baby's
best interest at heart

but you got to do me
a personal favor, mama.

Please... don't make me choose
between you and my husband.

- Roc.
- Hmm.

You know I'm glad our
baby got you for a father?

Yeah, sweetheart.

Well, I guess I should
apologize. Roc, I'm sorry.

Well... I'm sorry
I threw you out.

Oh...

Maybe it would be better
if I got a room at the hotel.

- Yeah, that's right--
- No! Mama-mama! Mama!

Don't be silly.

Now you know we want you to stay
here with us. Don't we, Roc?

Yeah, now we do. Yeah.

Now you can't stay at that
apartment over there

'cause Joey's
gonna be moving in.

But you can stay
in Sheila's room.

- I'll show you where it is.
- Sheila's room?

Oh, you're gonna
love staying there...

...if you can fall
asleep to that rap music.

I'll see you in, uh...
in about two weeks, hm?

When we start working
on baby number two.

Now you understand what
I'm sayin', don't you?

Huh? Huh?

You understand, don't you? Hmm?

See, I just want you to grow
up to be a good guy, you know?

I mean, a good, hard-working,
honest, good guy.

I mean, like, for instance...

If you were in the school
yard and you see some big kids

pickin' on a little kid...

...I don't want you
pickin' on him, too.

Well, of course, if the,
if the little kid is

is like Joey, you know,
you can...

And he's a pain in the neck,
you can whack him

once or twice, you know.

I just want you to always
do what you think is right.

Treat people with respect.

And always be
proud of who you are.

'Cause I'm sure gonna
be proud of who you are.

Who-o-oa.

And listen, when you,
when you have to do that

just do it on Uncle Joey, okay?

Uh, Eleanor,
where's the diapers? Mm.

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

after these messages.

You know, Eleanor, I've been
thinking. Maybe you're right.

You know, the name Shaka
really does suit our son.

I mean, he's got
pride, strength

everything the name
stands for.

Oh, Roc, I'm glad
you see it my way.

Oh. So let me be
the first to say...

Hello, Shaka.

Well, okay, okay, okay.
H-hello, Marcus.

Well, Roc, I guess
Marcus it is, huh?

Mm-hmm.
Marcus Garvey Emerson.

Way to go, kid.
Just like we rehearsed it.

- Oh.
- Muah.
