1
00:00:02,536 --> 00:00:03,637
Bye.
Bye.

00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:05,173
CHRIS ROCK:
When you're a kid,

3
00:00:05,206 --> 00:00:06,607
one of the most important
lessons you learn

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,210
is when your parents tell you
to do something...

5
00:00:09,243 --> 00:00:10,678
Y'all better eat that liver.

6
00:00:10,711 --> 00:00:12,813
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.

7
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:15,383
...you do it...

8
00:00:17,285 --> 00:00:18,652
...no matter what you think...

9
00:00:18,686 --> 00:00:20,554
Boy, get your feet
off my good chair.

10
00:00:20,588 --> 00:00:22,556
Yes, ma'am.

11
00:00:24,492 --> 00:00:26,294
...no matter what it is.

12
00:00:26,327 --> 00:00:27,728
Girl, are you crazy?!

13
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:30,164
You want to cook your
brother, do it outside.

14
00:00:30,198 --> 00:00:31,565
Yes, ma'am.

15
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:33,734
(muffled yelling)

16
00:00:36,804 --> 00:00:38,272
No matter how you feel.

17
00:00:38,306 --> 00:00:43,177
Chris, clear off the table
and do the dishes.

18
00:00:43,211 --> 00:00:44,378
(both laughing)

19
00:00:46,514 --> 00:00:47,781
No.

20
00:00:47,815 --> 00:00:50,484
(tires screeching,
crashing sounds)

21
00:00:50,518 --> 00:00:53,487
(all gasp)

22
00:00:53,521 --> 00:00:55,389
What?

23
00:00:55,423 --> 00:00:57,558
Will I say what I said again?

24
00:00:57,591 --> 00:00:59,160
Will my mother kill me

25
00:00:59,193 --> 00:01:01,095
before I get a chance
to say it?

26
00:01:01,129 --> 00:01:03,697
Are Drew and Tonya gonna sit
there and just let this happen?

27
00:01:03,731 --> 00:01:05,566
Don't touch that dial.

28
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:20,314
* Aw, make if funky now.

31
00:01:38,766 --> 00:01:41,402
After saying no to my mother
for the first time,

32
00:01:41,435 --> 00:01:42,603
I didn't know what to expect.

33
00:01:42,636 --> 00:01:44,138
What did you say?

34
00:01:44,172 --> 00:01:46,207
I said no.

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,341
Twice.

36
00:01:47,375 --> 00:01:51,312
That's what I thought you said.

37
00:02:01,255 --> 00:02:03,591
Now say it again.

38
00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:06,360
Mom, I didn't eat all the dinner
by myself.

39
00:02:06,394 --> 00:02:08,596
I shouldn't have to clean it
all up by myself.

40
00:02:08,629 --> 00:02:12,433
I don't wear all the clothes,
but I wash them by myself.

41
00:02:12,466 --> 00:02:14,435
I don't sleep
in all the beds
in this house,

42
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:16,570
but I make them up by myself.

43
00:02:16,604 --> 00:02:19,507
I don't pee
in all of the toilets

44
00:02:19,540 --> 00:02:21,209
in this house
by myself...!

45
00:02:21,242 --> 00:02:22,510
Mom, Drew and Tonya
sitting right there

46
00:02:22,543 --> 00:02:23,944
doing nothing.
Why can't they help?

47
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:25,846
Because I told you to do it.

48
00:02:27,415 --> 00:02:29,450
Now I don't want to hear
no more back talk.

49
00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:31,552
Now clean this mess up.

50
00:02:31,585 --> 00:02:35,323
No. I'm not gonna do it.

51
00:02:38,426 --> 00:02:42,896
Lord... please help me before
I knock this boy's neck off.

52
00:02:45,733 --> 00:02:48,369
Eight...

53
00:02:48,402 --> 00:02:50,238
nine...

54
00:02:50,271 --> 00:02:51,972
t-ten!

55
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:54,242
I wouldn't see a woman
that perplexed again

56
00:02:54,275 --> 00:02:56,410
until Palin found out
her daughter was knocked up.

57
00:02:56,444 --> 00:02:58,412
Now are you gonna clean up
this table

58
00:02:58,446 --> 00:03:01,382
or do I need to tell
your father?

59
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:04,585
Whenever there was a problem
my mother couldn't handle,

60
00:03:04,618 --> 00:03:06,320
she'd call my father
for backup,

61
00:03:06,354 --> 00:03:08,489
like the governor bringing in
the National Guard.

62
00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:12,493
Ow!

63
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:14,995
What's the situation?!

64
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:16,897
Chris won't do
what I told him.

65
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:18,499
You want me to do some dishes?!

66
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:19,900
I'll do some dishes!

67
00:03:22,002 --> 00:03:24,438
(screaming wildly)

68
00:03:24,472 --> 00:03:26,374
I'll handle this.

69
00:03:27,508 --> 00:03:29,943
Oh! That was my...

70
00:03:34,515 --> 00:03:36,350
(launcher beeps)

71
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,288
Yes!

72
00:03:40,321 --> 00:03:42,690
(crowd cheering)

73
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:43,791
You know what?

74
00:03:45,025 --> 00:03:47,528
Go ahead. Tell him.

75
00:03:47,561 --> 00:03:48,629
I don't care.

76
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:53,501
Fine.

77
00:03:53,534 --> 00:03:55,436
Drew, Tonya,
come clean this table up

78
00:03:55,469 --> 00:03:56,570
and wash the dishes.

79
00:03:56,604 --> 00:03:58,506
BOTH:
Yes, ma'am.

80
00:04:01,675 --> 00:04:03,611
I enjoyed time with my father,

81
00:04:03,644 --> 00:04:06,614
but I was afraid
this might be the last time.

82
00:04:08,682 --> 00:04:10,651
Where have you been?

83
00:04:10,684 --> 00:04:13,020
I stopped to get coffee.

84
00:04:13,053 --> 00:04:14,688
With his coffee coupon.

85
00:04:14,722 --> 00:04:17,491
Oh, coffee.
Oh, yeah, that-that's nice.

86
00:04:17,525 --> 00:04:19,059
Well, while you were out
taking your time

87
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:20,661
sipping on coffee,

88
00:04:20,694 --> 00:04:23,030
uh, your son was here
staging a coup!

89
00:04:23,063 --> 00:04:24,064
A coup?

90
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:25,566
What? Who, Drew?

91
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:27,435
Chris!

92
00:04:27,468 --> 00:04:32,573
I spent 20 hours of labor
pushing out that big-eared boy,

93
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:34,742
and he turns around
and does this to me?!

94
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:36,744
Does what? What did he do?

95
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:41,582
What did he do? Oh, what?
You're on his side now?!

96
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:44,318
No, no, I'm just trying
to find out what's going on.

97
00:04:44,352 --> 00:04:45,519
Oh, what's going on,
what's going on.

98
00:04:45,553 --> 00:04:46,887
Let me think about
what's going on.

99
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,656
Your son is trying to kill me.

100
00:04:48,689 --> 00:04:50,424
That's what's
going on!

101
00:04:50,458 --> 00:04:53,961
I-I cook, I clean, I care

102
00:04:53,994 --> 00:04:56,597
for this family,
and what do I get in return?

103
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:58,566
Just a full-scale mutiny!

104
00:04:58,599 --> 00:04:59,833
Led by a child

105
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:01,502
who I bore for a man

106
00:05:01,535 --> 00:05:03,837
who's supposed to love and honor
and protect me!

107
00:05:03,871 --> 00:05:04,772
You know,

108
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,640
I thought we were all
in this together,

109
00:05:06,674 --> 00:05:07,708
but you know what?

110
00:05:07,741 --> 00:05:10,010
I'm finding out now
that I'm just by myself!

111
00:05:10,043 --> 00:05:13,547
Rochelle, what did he do?

112
00:05:13,581 --> 00:05:18,986
I told Chris to wash the dishes.

113
00:05:19,019 --> 00:05:21,389
And he told me, "No."

114
00:05:21,422 --> 00:05:24,692
And what do you do?

115
00:05:24,725 --> 00:05:27,628
Nothing!

116
00:05:33,701 --> 00:05:35,969
While my father was trying
to figure out what to do,

117
00:05:36,003 --> 00:05:38,639
I was starting to realize
what I had done.

118
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:40,574
What are you doing
here so early?

119
00:05:40,608 --> 00:05:41,909
It's a long story.

120
00:05:41,942 --> 00:05:43,076
Why you here?

121
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:45,546
I'm always here
for breakfast.

122
00:05:45,579 --> 00:05:46,647
So what happened?

123
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,816
I talked back to my mother;
she's telling my father;

124
00:05:48,849 --> 00:05:51,385
and I had to get out the house
before he got home.

125
00:05:51,419 --> 00:05:52,753
What were you thinking?

126
00:05:52,786 --> 00:05:53,854
She's always
making me do work

127
00:05:53,887 --> 00:05:56,424
while Drew and Tonya sit around
like it's a hotel.

128
00:05:56,457 --> 00:05:59,427
I mean, why do I have to be
a maid? Do I look French?

129
00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:01,729
Do I have on a black skirt
with a white apron?

130
00:06:01,762 --> 00:06:03,464
That's a whole other type
of maid.

131
00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:05,733
You're a fool.
Mothers do have limits.

132
00:06:05,766 --> 00:06:06,900
I mean, there's only so much
they can take.

133
00:06:06,934 --> 00:06:08,969
You know, one day you just
refuse to do the housework,

134
00:06:09,002 --> 00:06:10,771
and then the next day
you wake up,

135
00:06:10,804 --> 00:06:12,640
and there's some Italian lady
naked in your kitchen

136
00:06:12,673 --> 00:06:14,675
at midnight eating
all your spumoni ice cream,

137
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,610
and your dad comes out
and he's, like,

138
00:06:16,644 --> 00:06:18,679
"Hey, just, you know,
go back to bed.

139
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:20,414
Forget all about it, Greg."

140
00:06:20,448 --> 00:06:22,916
Well, after my dad
knocks my brains out,

141
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:25,819
I won't have to worry
about remembering anything.

142
00:06:25,853 --> 00:06:28,088
While I was trying to savor
my last day of life,

143
00:06:28,121 --> 00:06:31,425
Mr. Omar was trying
to savor a last meal.

144
00:06:31,459 --> 00:06:34,061
So, the next thing I know,
the doctors call

145
00:06:34,094 --> 00:06:36,864
and say I've gone
from a clean bill of health

146
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:39,867
to who knows how much time
left to live.

147
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:40,868
(laughs)

148
00:06:40,901 --> 00:06:42,002
BOTH:
Tragic.

149
00:06:42,035 --> 00:06:45,473
You see, most people are
decapitated by flying hubcaps.

150
00:06:45,506 --> 00:06:46,774
(laughs)

151
00:06:46,807 --> 00:06:48,709
Or fall down a flight of steps

152
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:50,778
and get strangled
between banister rails.

153
00:06:50,811 --> 00:06:54,748
So knowing when I'm gonna die
allows me to make the most

154
00:06:54,782 --> 00:06:57,685
of my remaining days
and get my affairs in order.

155
00:06:57,718 --> 00:06:59,753
And he doesn't mean
business affairs.

156
00:06:59,787 --> 00:07:02,490
So from now on,
I'm gonna do the things

157
00:07:02,523 --> 00:07:04,057
I want to do
and say the things

158
00:07:04,091 --> 00:07:09,663
I want to say without worrying
about the consequences.

159
00:07:09,697 --> 00:07:11,098
(door shuts)

160
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:15,469
Hey, Mr. Omar.

161
00:07:15,503 --> 00:07:17,004
Oh, hey, Mr. Julius.

162
00:07:17,037 --> 00:07:21,108
Unfortunately, I'm here
to give my 19-day notice.

163
00:07:21,141 --> 00:07:21,775
You moving out?

164
00:07:21,809 --> 00:07:24,712
Mm, no, more like moving on.

165
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:25,846
Where you going?

166
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:27,781
Well, that's the great mystery
of life,

167
00:07:27,815 --> 00:07:28,716
isn't it, Mr. Julius?

168
00:07:28,749 --> 00:07:31,251
Where do we go when we die?

169
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:34,855
Dying? Mr. Omar,
that's terrible.

170
00:07:34,888 --> 00:07:36,023
Oh, no, it's not.

171
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:39,693
'Cause for the next 19 days,
I'm gonna be living it up!

172
00:07:39,727 --> 00:07:41,529
Pass me the meatballs.

173
00:07:41,562 --> 00:07:42,229
Okay.

174
00:07:42,262 --> 00:07:44,832
Whoa-whoa-whoa,
where's Chris?

175
00:07:44,865 --> 00:07:46,099
Chris said he had to work late.

176
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:48,569
Good, then he'll be home soon.

177
00:07:48,602 --> 00:07:49,870
Julius,

178
00:07:49,903 --> 00:07:51,171
your son is trying to kill me.

179
00:07:51,204 --> 00:07:54,107
Go find him and stop him.

180
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:05,252
With my father on the way
to Doc's,

181
00:08:05,285 --> 00:08:07,788
I was a dead man working.

182
00:08:09,790 --> 00:08:10,791
(shrieks)

183
00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:12,560
We need to talk.

184
00:08:16,196 --> 00:08:17,164
I just need
to understand

185
00:08:17,197 --> 00:08:19,567
why you would talk
to your mother like that.

186
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,669
Dad, Drew and Tonya
were sitting down watching TV,

187
00:08:21,702 --> 00:08:24,171
and I'm the only one
Mom said to go clean up.

188
00:08:24,204 --> 00:08:25,873
It's just not fair.

189
00:08:25,906 --> 00:08:27,675
You raised me to stand up
for myself,

190
00:08:27,708 --> 00:08:30,077
so why do I get in trouble
when I do it at home?

191
00:08:30,110 --> 00:08:31,912
Look, Chris, you might
win the battle,

192
00:08:31,945 --> 00:08:32,880
but you're gonna
lose the war.

193
00:08:32,913 --> 00:08:36,584
Sometimes it's not
about just being right.

194
00:08:36,617 --> 00:08:37,885
Hey, look,

195
00:08:37,918 --> 00:08:39,820
you need to apologize
to your mother.

196
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:42,590
Why?

197
00:08:42,623 --> 00:08:44,592
Because she will make
your life miserable.

198
00:08:44,625 --> 00:08:46,660
You know how many times
I've been right

199
00:08:46,694 --> 00:08:48,328
and still had
to apologize?

200
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:51,765
469,531 times.

201
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:52,833
And counting.

202
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,802
How is that even possible?

203
00:08:54,835 --> 00:08:55,803
Because she doesn't care.

204
00:08:55,836 --> 00:08:57,070
It doesn't make any sense.

205
00:08:57,104 --> 00:08:57,638
Exactly.

206
00:08:57,671 --> 00:08:59,873
Look, that's the

207
00:08:59,907 --> 00:09:02,876
of living with women:
nothing makes sense.

208
00:09:02,910 --> 00:09:04,344
When you learn this,

209
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:07,280
then you'll finally understand
what it is to be a man.

210
00:09:07,314 --> 00:09:10,784
Wrong or right, you
still have to be sorry.

211
00:09:25,365 --> 00:09:27,200
I had survived the walk home.

212
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:28,869
Now all I had to do
was apologize,

213
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:31,071
and my life would go back
to normal.

214
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:33,874
So did you
talk to him?

215
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:35,743
I talked to him.

216
00:09:35,776 --> 00:09:36,744
Good.

217
00:09:36,777 --> 00:09:39,647
Chris, clean up the table
and do the dishes.

218
00:09:42,349 --> 00:09:43,784
No.

219
00:09:46,754 --> 00:09:48,989
Well, it's been nice
knowing you, America.

220
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:54,828
CHRIS ROCK:
I had put my foot down.

221
00:09:54,862 --> 00:09:57,264
But unfortunately,
it was into my own grave.

222
00:09:57,297 --> 00:09:58,966
So I thought
you talked to him?

223
00:09:58,999 --> 00:09:59,967
I did.

224
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,001
And he's got a point.

225
00:10:01,034 --> 00:10:01,802
What?!

226
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:03,671
Why should Drew and Tonya
watch TV

227
00:10:03,704 --> 00:10:04,938
while Chris cleans up
their mess?

228
00:10:04,972 --> 00:10:08,976
I do not have to explain
to him why I do

229
00:10:09,009 --> 00:10:09,977
the things
that I do.

230
00:10:10,010 --> 00:10:11,344
If I want him to do something

231
00:10:11,378 --> 00:10:13,647
that I don't want
the other kids to do,

232
00:10:13,681 --> 00:10:15,816
I probably have a good reason!

233
00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:17,851
And do you have a good reason?
No.

234
00:10:17,885 --> 00:10:19,787
But that doesn't matter!

235
00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:21,321
He's growing up, Rochelle.

236
00:10:21,354 --> 00:10:24,391
If you ask him to do something
that seems unfair,

237
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:25,458
he's gonna
want to know why.

238
00:10:25,492 --> 00:10:27,861
You wanted a strong-minded kid,
well, you got one.

239
00:10:28,896 --> 00:10:30,698
Oh.

240
00:10:30,731 --> 00:10:32,833
Okay, I-I see.

241
00:10:32,866 --> 00:10:34,134
Oh, if he wants to be grown,

242
00:10:34,167 --> 00:10:36,036
then he's grown.

243
00:10:36,804 --> 00:10:37,905
Fine.

244
00:10:37,938 --> 00:10:40,107
How come when a woman
says "fine,"

245
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:43,844
it's never actually fine?

246
00:10:43,877 --> 00:10:44,878
First thing in the morning,

247
00:10:44,912 --> 00:10:47,380
my mother did
the meanest thing yet: nothing.

248
00:10:47,414 --> 00:10:49,182
Why didn't you wake me up?
I'm late for school.

249
00:10:49,216 --> 00:10:50,951
You're grown.
Wake yourself up.

250
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:52,385
You don't want to
do nothing for me,

251
00:10:52,419 --> 00:10:53,821
I ain't doing
nothing for you.

252
00:10:53,854 --> 00:10:54,922
And she didn't.

253
00:10:54,955 --> 00:10:57,024
She didn't do my laundry.

254
00:10:57,057 --> 00:10:58,726
Where are my underwear?

255
00:10:58,759 --> 00:10:59,993
You're grown.
Wash your own drawers.

256
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:05,065
She didn't make my meals.

257
00:11:05,098 --> 00:11:06,066
Where's my breakfast?

258
00:11:06,099 --> 00:11:07,067
You're grown.

259
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:08,335
You can cook your own food.

260
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:14,341
While my mother was teaching me
a lesson about life,

261
00:11:14,374 --> 00:11:16,977
Mr. Omar was giving out
lessons about death.

262
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:20,080
And I also will take that helmet
and those death darts.

263
00:11:20,113 --> 00:11:22,049
That's a Crock-Pot
and pens, man.

264
00:11:22,082 --> 00:11:23,951
Not in the jungle,
it's not.

265
00:11:23,984 --> 00:11:25,719
You know, I can make

266
00:11:25,753 --> 00:11:28,288
a hand grenade out of a can
of Cheez Whiz and a dress sock.

267
00:11:28,321 --> 00:11:30,958
Well, you need to use it
to blow your own brains out.

268
00:11:30,991 --> 00:11:33,961
Don't they have centers
for people like you?

269
00:11:35,262 --> 00:11:37,264
Bye.

270
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:40,734
Excuse me.

271
00:11:40,768 --> 00:11:41,969
Hey, Monk.
Hey, Julius.

272
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:45,205
Hey, aloha,
Mr. Julius.

273
00:11:45,238 --> 00:11:47,107
You can't have all these people
in the hallway.

274
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:48,742
What you gonna do about it?

275
00:11:48,776 --> 00:11:49,642
I'm dying.

276
00:11:49,676 --> 00:11:52,079
Mr. Omar, these people
are turning my house

277
00:11:52,112 --> 00:11:53,080
into a fire hazard.

278
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:55,315
Well, with all that asbestos

279
00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:57,050
in the walls and ceiling,

280
00:11:57,084 --> 00:11:58,952
you ain't got to worry
about no fire.

281
00:11:58,986 --> 00:12:00,453
It's the asthma
that's gonna kill you.

282
00:12:00,487 --> 00:12:02,122
Excuse me?
You're cheap!

283
00:12:03,023 --> 00:12:04,457
You're a bald-headed,

284
00:12:04,491 --> 00:12:06,393
penny-pinching skinflint.

285
00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:08,061
Watch yourself, Mr. Omar.

286
00:12:08,095 --> 00:12:09,763
What's to watch?! I'm dying.

287
00:12:12,265 --> 00:12:14,534
While my father was thinking
about breaking a lamp

288
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,169
over Mr. Omar's head,

289
00:12:16,203 --> 00:12:18,005
I was trying not to break down.

290
00:12:18,038 --> 00:12:19,840
Dude, you look terrible.

291
00:12:19,873 --> 00:12:21,975
I know. It was
a rough morning.

292
00:12:22,009 --> 00:12:24,044
Mom decided she's not gonna
do anything for me anymore.

293
00:12:24,077 --> 00:12:25,512
Barely made it
to school.

294
00:12:25,545 --> 00:12:28,148
If you back down now, you'll
miss the one chance you have

295
00:12:28,181 --> 00:12:30,050
to make sure
your voice is heard.
I know.

296
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:32,419
All I have to do is stick it out
just a little bit longer.

297
00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:34,988
She's been mad at me before,
and she'll be mad at me again.

298
00:12:35,022 --> 00:12:36,023
What's she gonna do,

299
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:37,224
not be my mother anymore?

300
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:39,192
(woman speaking
indistinctly over P.A.)

301
00:12:39,226 --> 00:12:41,094
I'd like to return
this child.

302
00:12:41,128 --> 00:12:43,063
Do you have the receipt?

303
00:12:43,096 --> 00:12:45,198
Sure do.

304
00:12:45,232 --> 00:12:46,366
Looks good.

305
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:48,135
Take this to the cashier
for your refund.

306
00:12:48,168 --> 00:12:49,069
Thank you.

307
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:51,905
I was trying to become
my own person,

308
00:12:51,939 --> 00:12:53,907
but my mother still thought
she owned me.

309
00:12:55,909 --> 00:12:57,177
What you think
you're doing?

310
00:12:57,210 --> 00:13:00,580
I'm making breakfast.

311
00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:02,916
With my eggs?

312
00:13:02,950 --> 00:13:04,885
No, I bought the eggs,
and I bought the bacon.

313
00:13:04,918 --> 00:13:06,053
Oh.

314
00:13:06,086 --> 00:13:07,054
(chuckles)

315
00:13:07,087 --> 00:13:08,822
Well, you ain't
buy that skillet.

316
00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:10,190
You ain't buy that fire.

317
00:13:10,223 --> 00:13:12,492
You ain't buy that spatula.
You ain't buy that plate.

318
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:14,394
Next time, I'll remember
to buy a paper plate.

319
00:13:14,427 --> 00:13:16,263
Ooh! Next time?

320
00:13:16,296 --> 00:13:19,166
Oh, next...? "Oh, next time,
I'll remember to buy a paper..."

321
00:13:19,199 --> 00:13:20,100
No, next time,

322
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:22,836
you need to remember
this ain't your kitchen!

323
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:26,206
This ain't your stove.
This ain't your floor.

324
00:13:26,239 --> 00:13:27,841
Those ain't your
frozen gizzards.

325
00:13:27,875 --> 00:13:29,576
That ain't your...!
You say none of this is mine,

326
00:13:29,609 --> 00:13:31,311
maybe I should find
someplace else to be.

327
00:13:31,344 --> 00:13:32,946
Uh-oh!

328
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:33,947
Did y'all see that?

329
00:13:33,981 --> 00:13:35,448
I guess he
jumping bad now.

330
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:37,217
You bad!
I guess you Shaft!

331
00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:39,086
You's a bad mother...

332
00:13:39,119 --> 00:13:40,854
Shut your mouth! No.

333
00:13:40,888 --> 00:13:43,190
Since you're so independent,
so liberated,

334
00:13:43,223 --> 00:13:45,258
maybe you need to go live
in the Statue of Liberty.

335
00:13:45,292 --> 00:13:46,459
Fine.

336
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:49,196
I'm leaving.

337
00:13:49,229 --> 00:13:50,597
I stood my ground,

338
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:53,833
and now I was gonna be
standing out on the street.

339
00:14:00,107 --> 00:14:02,142
CHRIS ROCK:
I left the house
before my mother

340
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:04,111
asked for her suitcase back.

341
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:05,078
Just say you're sorry.

342
00:14:05,112 --> 00:14:06,313
What for?

343
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:07,981
Because you just got kicked out.

344
00:14:08,015 --> 00:14:09,216
Look, I don't care, all right?

345
00:14:09,249 --> 00:14:11,051
It's better than doing
everyone else's work.

346
00:14:11,084 --> 00:14:13,286
If you had been
cleaning up after me

347
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,355
for the past ten years,
you'd know how I felt.

348
00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:16,289
How you gonna eat?

349
00:14:16,323 --> 00:14:17,624
I-I got a job.

350
00:14:17,657 --> 00:14:18,525
Where you gonna stay?

351
00:14:18,558 --> 00:14:20,193
I'll find a place.

352
00:14:20,227 --> 00:14:21,161
Will you quit being stupid,

353
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:23,196
and go clean the kitchen
like Mama told you?

354
00:14:23,230 --> 00:14:26,433
Look, if you want it clean
so bad, you go do it.

355
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:28,368
So you're really leaving?

356
00:14:28,401 --> 00:14:30,070
Yeah.

357
00:14:31,071 --> 00:14:33,140
Well, can I have your radio?

358
00:14:33,173 --> 00:14:34,908
Fine.

359
00:14:38,245 --> 00:14:39,246
Good luck, Chris.

360
00:14:45,618 --> 00:14:47,487
ROCHELLE:
Yeah, since
this morning.

361
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,356
I mean, you know,
it's not a big deal,

362
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:51,224
but if Chris calls,
can you let me know?

363
00:14:51,258 --> 00:14:53,426
Okay.

364
00:14:53,460 --> 00:14:54,627
Thanks, Doc.

365
00:14:54,661 --> 00:14:56,997
Why is this table such a mess?

366
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:58,165
Somebody fired the maid.

367
00:14:58,198 --> 00:14:59,699
'Cause I'm not gonna
clean it up.

368
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:01,134
They're not gonna
clean it up.

369
00:15:01,168 --> 00:15:02,569
When I find him,
Chris is gonna

370
00:15:02,602 --> 00:15:04,271
clean it up.
When you find him?

371
00:15:04,304 --> 00:15:05,705
Chris and Mom got
into another fight.

372
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:07,374
And she threw him
out of the house.

373
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:09,476
What do you mean,
you threw him out?

374
00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:12,312
I may have implied

375
00:15:12,345 --> 00:15:14,982
that since he was
so self-sufficient,

376
00:15:15,015 --> 00:15:17,684
that maybe he should live
someplace else.

377
00:15:17,717 --> 00:15:19,252
And then he left.

378
00:15:19,286 --> 00:15:20,620
You telling me
you kicked our son out

379
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:22,022
because he didn't
do the dishes?

380
00:15:22,055 --> 00:15:23,123
Exactly.

381
00:15:23,156 --> 00:15:24,591
Not exactly.

382
00:15:24,624 --> 00:15:26,359
But it's the principle, Julius!

383
00:15:27,194 --> 00:15:28,428
Do you know what the words

384
00:15:28,461 --> 00:15:29,429
"too far" mean?

385
00:15:29,462 --> 00:15:30,663
Actually, she didn't.

386
00:15:30,697 --> 00:15:32,032
You're cutting the boy's arm off

387
00:15:32,065 --> 00:15:33,166
for sticking his finger
in the fan.

388
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,235
What?

389
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:36,970
Cutting off his arm?

390
00:15:37,004 --> 00:15:38,005
I don't get it.

391
00:15:38,638 --> 00:15:40,140
So am I the fan?

392
00:15:40,173 --> 00:15:41,241
I'm pretty sure
Chris is the arm.

393
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:42,175
No, I think
the arm is the arm.

394
00:15:42,209 --> 00:15:44,311
Chris is the boy.
Yeah, Chris is the boy.

395
00:15:44,344 --> 00:15:46,246
Look, sticking his finger
in the fan

396
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:47,680
is just the equivalent
of doing something stupid.

397
00:15:47,714 --> 00:15:48,815
Like talking
back to Mom.
Right.

398
00:15:48,848 --> 00:15:51,184
So cutting the arm off is
kicking him out of the house?

399
00:15:51,218 --> 00:15:53,286
Exactly.
So if he stuck

400
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,089
his finger in the fan,
and I didn't like it,

401
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:58,258
cutting his arm off
so he wouldn't do it again

402
00:15:58,291 --> 00:15:59,292
wouldn't help.
Wouldn't help.

403
00:15:59,326 --> 00:16:00,527
Oh.
Oh.

404
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,029
Got it.

405
00:16:02,062 --> 00:16:04,164
I'm-I'm gonna go find Chris.

406
00:16:04,197 --> 00:16:05,698
It's Saturday.
He probably just went

407
00:16:05,732 --> 00:16:07,734
someplace in the neighborhood
to cool off.

408
00:16:07,767 --> 00:16:10,237
Hopefully, not under a fan.

409
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:13,206
While my dad was talking sense
into his woman,

410
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,242
a woman was talking
some sense into me.

411
00:16:15,275 --> 00:16:16,143
Boy, are you crazy?

412
00:16:16,176 --> 00:16:18,078
You are lucky she
just threw you out.

413
00:16:18,111 --> 00:16:19,679
But, V...
Chris, you challenged
her authority.

414
00:16:19,712 --> 00:16:21,381
You left her no choice.

415
00:16:21,414 --> 00:16:23,316
So if me or Tonya say no,

416
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:25,218
are you just gonna
kick us out, too?

417
00:16:25,252 --> 00:16:26,619
Yes!
No.

418
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:28,321
I didn't kick him out, Drew.

419
00:16:28,355 --> 00:16:29,322
He left.

420
00:16:29,356 --> 00:16:30,290
After you kicked him out.

421
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:31,524
He only left
because you told him

422
00:16:31,558 --> 00:16:33,126
to go live in
the Statue of Liberty.

423
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,394
CHRIS:
Okay, how am I

424
00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:37,097
supposed to talk to her if she
won't listen to anything I say?

425
00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:38,398
Chris, you are a child.

426
00:16:38,431 --> 00:16:39,766
Parents don't negotiate

427
00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:41,168
with children.

428
00:16:41,201 --> 00:16:41,968
Even though I hate Chris,

429
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:43,570
I still wish
he would come back home.

430
00:16:43,603 --> 00:16:44,571
I don't want him

431
00:16:44,604 --> 00:16:46,406
to get stabbed
or shot

432
00:16:46,439 --> 00:16:48,275
or turned out
or hooked on drugs.

433
00:16:48,308 --> 00:16:51,078
Your brother is not
gonna get hooked on drugs.

434
00:16:51,111 --> 00:16:52,579
Actually, he probably will.

435
00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:54,314
Runaways tend to fall into

436
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:56,649
dangerous situations
pretty quickly.

437
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:58,485
And drugs and alcohol
provide a sedative

438
00:16:58,518 --> 00:16:59,619
to the trauma and isolation.

439
00:17:01,321 --> 00:17:02,489
Chris, you need to go

440
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:03,590
back home.

441
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:05,425
Why? It's just gonna
happen again.

442
00:17:05,458 --> 00:17:06,393
What if he doesn't
come back?

443
00:17:06,426 --> 00:17:07,394
If he does,

444
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:08,328
it's just gonna happen again.

445
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:11,364
You know, if it was me
and it was my kid,

446
00:17:11,398 --> 00:17:12,432
I think I would've
thought of

447
00:17:12,465 --> 00:17:13,666
a different way
to say what I said,

448
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:15,502
so that my kid still
learned his lesson

449
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:16,636
while keeping
our family together.

450
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:18,805
VANESSA:
It's dishes!

451
00:17:18,838 --> 00:17:21,408
You're acting like she told you

452
00:17:21,441 --> 00:17:22,475
to bring down
the mob!

453
00:17:22,509 --> 00:17:23,676
Actually, the mob was

454
00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:25,178
slightly less vindictive
than my mother.

455
00:17:25,212 --> 00:17:27,780
Hey, Vanessa.

456
00:17:27,814 --> 00:17:28,848
Chris, let's go.

457
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:30,783
While me and my mother

458
00:17:30,817 --> 00:17:32,485
were still bent out of shape,

459
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:35,322
Mr. Omar was about
to straighten something out.

460
00:17:35,355 --> 00:17:36,656
Oh, hey, Mr. Julius!

461
00:17:36,689 --> 00:17:38,525
Chris, go upstairs.

462
00:17:38,558 --> 00:17:41,161
And don't say anything to
your mother till I get up there.

463
00:17:41,194 --> 00:17:43,196
I don't want her
throwing you out again.

464
00:17:45,432 --> 00:17:46,399
(chuckles)

465
00:17:46,433 --> 00:17:49,136
Hey, Chris!

466
00:17:49,169 --> 00:17:50,237
What?

467
00:17:50,270 --> 00:17:53,440
Um, I was wondering
had you rented my apartment yet.

468
00:17:53,473 --> 00:17:55,708
You forgot to say,
"bald-headed skinflint."

469
00:17:55,742 --> 00:17:57,444
Yeah.

470
00:17:57,477 --> 00:18:00,880
About that: I just wanted
to say I'm very sorry.

471
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:02,215
Whatever.

472
00:18:02,249 --> 00:18:03,350
What difference is it to you

473
00:18:03,383 --> 00:18:05,352
whether I rented
the place anyway?

474
00:18:05,385 --> 00:18:06,353
Won't you be dead?

475
00:18:06,386 --> 00:18:07,354
Uh, no, no.

476
00:18:07,387 --> 00:18:08,321
Uh, turned out,

477
00:18:08,355 --> 00:18:09,556
there was a mistake.

478
00:18:09,589 --> 00:18:12,392
I got Mr. Watkins' prognosis,
and he got mine.

479
00:18:12,425 --> 00:18:13,393
Who is Mr. Watkins?

480
00:18:13,426 --> 00:18:14,361
He's the guy that's dying

481
00:18:14,394 --> 00:18:15,428
instead of me.

482
00:18:15,462 --> 00:18:16,429
(laughs)

483
00:18:16,463 --> 00:18:19,499
Yeah, misdiagnosed
with a terminal condition

484
00:18:19,532 --> 00:18:22,435
by a doctor
with a nearsighted nurse.

485
00:18:22,469 --> 00:18:23,803
Tragic. Tragic!

486
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:26,406
Well... I guess
that's good news.

487
00:18:27,907 --> 00:18:30,210
Uh, look, look, look,
Mr., Mr. Julius,

488
00:18:30,243 --> 00:18:31,378
Mr. Julius.

489
00:18:31,411 --> 00:18:33,313
I was speaking my mind,

490
00:18:33,346 --> 00:18:35,382
but my mind
wasn't in the right place.

491
00:18:35,415 --> 00:18:37,684
So you don't think
I'm a bald-headed...

492
00:18:37,717 --> 00:18:38,718
(screams)

493
00:18:38,751 --> 00:18:39,719
Don't say it!

494
00:18:39,752 --> 00:18:41,788
Don't you ever say that.

495
00:18:41,821 --> 00:18:44,257
You're a good man, Mr. Julius.

496
00:18:44,291 --> 00:18:46,526
Mr. Omar,

497
00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:48,495
next time you think
you're dying,

498
00:18:48,528 --> 00:18:51,364
before you start calling
people names, be sure.

499
00:18:56,536 --> 00:18:57,704
Rent's due on the first.

500
00:18:59,739 --> 00:19:00,907
(chuckles)

501
00:19:00,940 --> 00:19:03,210
Hallelujah!

502
00:19:08,315 --> 00:19:10,917
All right, first of all,

503
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:14,187
in the future, no kid gets
thrown out of the house

504
00:19:14,221 --> 00:19:15,422
unless we both throw them out.

505
00:19:17,424 --> 00:19:18,558
Second,

506
00:19:18,591 --> 00:19:19,826
your mother's in charge.

507
00:19:19,859 --> 00:19:21,894
When she tells you
to do something, you do it.

508
00:19:21,928 --> 00:19:23,963
You got it?

509
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:26,466
I'm talking to everybody here.

510
00:19:26,499 --> 00:19:27,967
Now, do we all understand?

511
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,968
ALL:
Yes.

512
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:31,404
Good.

513
00:19:31,438 --> 00:19:32,905
Chris, apologize to your mother.

514
00:19:34,874 --> 00:19:35,842
I'm sorry.

515
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:37,477
JULIUS:
Sorry for what?

516
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:39,546
Mom, I'm sorry
for being disrespectful

517
00:19:39,579 --> 00:19:40,647
and talking back to you.

518
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,949
JULIUS:
Good.

519
00:19:42,982 --> 00:19:44,617
Rochelle?

520
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:47,454
Rochelle.

521
00:19:48,721 --> 00:19:49,789
(sighs)

522
00:19:49,822 --> 00:19:52,492
Chris, I'm sorry
for being unreasonable.

523
00:19:52,525 --> 00:19:53,660
I know I was unfair.

524
00:19:53,693 --> 00:19:55,462
JULIUS:
Okay.

525
00:19:55,495 --> 00:19:56,929
This is over and done.

526
00:19:56,963 --> 00:19:58,965
Chris, give your mother a hug.

527
00:20:06,506 --> 00:20:08,708
I'm sorry, baby.

528
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:10,543
I love you.

529
00:20:10,577 --> 00:20:12,679
I'm sorry, too, Mom.

530
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:13,680
JULIUS:
Great.

531
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:16,283
Drew, Tonya, go watch TV.

532
00:20:16,316 --> 00:20:18,551
Chris, clean this mess up.

533
00:20:18,585 --> 00:20:19,719
Yeah, baby!

534
00:20:19,752 --> 00:20:24,557
* Everybody hates Chris.
