-Understand I got you
D.C., Maryland, Virginia.

Please and kindly stand up.
Please. Thank you very much.

Hold your applause until
the end of the show.

-This is Washington, D.C.,

my city,
home of the hustlers, baby.

I mean, everybody's
got to hustle in D.C.

We got flea markets.

That's where everybody's selling
any and everything.

We got Ben's Chili Bowl.

Ben's been selling chili for
damn near 50 years.

Can you imagine that, somebody
getting rich off chili?

Ben did it.
Oh. That right there?

That's Sebastion D. Hood.

Man, he got all types
of businesses.

-Hi.
I'm Sebastion D. Hood III.

Are you sure that baby's yours?

Are you paying child support

and you get that uneasy feeling
that the mother of your child

is not forthcoming
with the truth --

That child don't have
any of your features,

and you don't know what to do?

Now, for just $395, HOOD
Enterprises can get you results

in 24 hours -- just 24 hours --
with a 99.9% accuracy rate.

Just get us some DNA
from the alleged seed,

swab the baby's mouth, or you
can send us a hair follicle.

Or you can just get it.

We don't care where
you get it from.

Just get it.

Here's Nick, one of our
satisfied customers.

-My son, Nick Jr.,
is three years old,

and I must admit, I was a bit
apprehensive when he was born.

-[ Baby cries ]

-I sent in our DNA,

and within 24 hours
our results came back,

and I'm happy to say
I am Nick Jr.'s father.

I'm absolutely sure now.

-Remove all doubt
and get us that DNA today.

-Call HOOD Enterprises today,
the DNA specialists.

-And remember...

-But the biggest hustler of all
was my uncle, 3D.

There he is! 3D.

He raised me and my cousin.

He was like a father to us.

-What's the problem here?

Why you crying?

JoJo.

JoJo, why you crying?

-I struck out.

-That's okay.

All true ballers strike out
every now and then.

You can't let that
slow your roll.

You got to pick up that pimp
stick and keep on swinging.

-That's right, JoJo.

-Right?
-Yes.

-I still remember the first time
I struck out on you.

-I remember, too.

-But I knew if I was gonna s--
Back up.

You better back up.

But I knew if I was gonna score,
I had to make it to first.

So I got my grill right
and my wrap tight

blop-de-blippity-blah-da-blue

and, hiya, what happened, baby?

First base -- look like
I'm about to steal second.

I'm about to steal second.

Oh! I'm at second,
rounding to third.

We're at third, baby. Oh!

We about to slide into
home face first.

-Ooh, and there's no place
like home.

-Spikes high!
Yah-yah-yah-yah-yah!

Safe! Safe! Safe!

Game over.

[ Laughs ]

Oh! You coming to
the after party, JoJo?

-My uncle was at every
important event.

Swim meets, he was there.

-Go!

You better swim, you little
black mother[bleep]!

I'm open, baby, I'm open.

Alright, then take
it to the hole!

Take it to the hole!

-Ooh.

[ Laughter ]

-Here I am at 16
in my first job interview.

-How long does he have to work
before his benefits kick in?

When can he take
his first vacation?

Now, you say this is
an eight-hour work day, right?

But if he start work at 7:00 and
end at 4:00 that's nine hours.

But what if he don't
take a lunch break

or those four 15-minute breaks?

He should be up out this [bleep]
by 2:00 every afternoon.

I'll have my attorney
look over those papers.

Oh, and one more question.

If a frog had a glass ass, would
he break it every time he moved?

I'm [bleep] with you, baby.

[ Laughs ]

Come on, JoJo.

-Now, I'm JoJo --

Yep, that little chocolate drop
right there.

See, now all I ever wanted to do
was own my own thriving business

right here in the neighborhood.

I mean, I got my degree
from UDC,

so I was ready for the world,

and since I was good
with numbers, my uncle,

he would always have me
counting all night,

sometimes till 3:00
in the morning.

-We all lived
in my uncle's house.

Who's "we," you ask?

Well, let's start
with my play aunt.

That's my Aunt Mohogany.

She had a wooden leg that
she special ordered from Oregon

which she believes has termites
and has a broken hinge

so it doesn't bend at the knee.

Then -- Then there's Angela
the activist.

Avoid debates with her.
Trust me, you just won't win.

-How can I be a damn refugee?
That's just a...

-Yeah, she's from New Orleans --

had to relocate
for obvious reasons.

See, she's like a mother
to all of us.

Now, my uncle's chief enforcer
was POW, P-O-W.

It stands for "Pimp On Wheels."

His special-made chair
can get him airborne,

and in a matter of seconds,
he's whupping your ass.

Don't let him get
a leg up on you.

-Alright, what's the --
-Then there was my cousin Avery.

We were more like brothers
rather than cousins.

There was always a competition
between us

for my uncle's attention.

He was always coming up with
different ways to make money.

It never made sense, though --
never.

-I'm about to sell pee.

See that?
Huh?

That's clean pee.

-It's clean.
-Yeah, look.

-Do you know what clean pee
look like?

Did you --

-Ahh!

-I'm about to have piss plants
set up all across the country.

I'm-a set some up
at Barry Bonds' house,

the Tour de France, NBA, NFL.

I'm telling you, man, I'm about
to get paid off of piss.

-Hey, listen, do this for me.

Um, every cup that you put
your mouth on in this house,

I want you to put your name
on it for me, okay,

just so I don't double up
on what you just did.

-You just gave me one.
A cup of piss.

-Cup of piss.

-If you don't got time
for the clean pee

and you traveling, you a vegan
or something like that,

put it with some noodles --
cup of pee.

That's a smart idea.
-You're a genius, Avery.

I don't -- I don't know
how you do it.

-Piss about to get us paid,
I'm telling you.

-Mm-hmm.
Yeah, Avery's special.

-How's this gonna work?

-To catch who took Sparky
from me.

-Right there -- That's Vanity,
the one holding on

to the flier of her dog that's
been missing for two days.

And, yeah, she's blind, people.

Are you talking to me or Avery?

-I'm looking at both of y'all.
-I apologize.

-Vanity really thinks
she looks like Halle Berry,

but nobody has the guts
to tell her otherwise.

-Actually, I have people tell me
that me and Halle was like,

you know, twins --

like, we just look just alike.
-I see it.

-No doubt.

-She definitely suffers
from high self-esteem.

She doesn't like
unattractive men.

I mean, she's got
a good eye for that.

Don't think that hand
of hers is very accurate.

-Uh-uh.

I'm sorry,
but I do not do trolls.

You gonna have to kick rocks.

-Then there's my uncle's
chief moneymaker, Starlight.

If you came to D.C. on business
or you needed a date on your arm

for an upscale function,
you wanted Starlight.

She's the prettiest woman
I've ever seen.

Mm! I'd like to be them
back pockets.

My uncle was the man.

I mean, I know I keep saying
"was" as in past tense.

That's 'cause my uncle died,
uh, three weeks ago...

[ Sniffles ]
on his birthday.

-Negroes, Negro-ettes,
pimps, hoes --

-And the man
with the microphone,

that's sweet Payton Profit.

He's been my uncle's
right-hand man for years.

I mean, Payton has a vocabulary
that can't be matched.

I mean, if you talk to him,
you need a dictionary on hand.

-A man who has integrated
the infrastructure

with cataclysmic inevitability.

He has used trans-generational
servitude

to matriculate
the financial reinvestment

of reciprocal
short-term windfall.

-Just say the [bleep] toast.
Okay? Wow.

-That's Sexy Silk.

And the big guy right there,
that's Rockstone.

That's his
assistant/body guard/man peasant

/I don't know what he is.

Silk was my uncle's
long-time rival.

I mean, Silk was ruthless
when it comes to business.

I ain't never seen
anything like it.

I mean, he pretty much thinks
he's the The Artist Formerly

Known as Prince.
Me, personally?

I think he looks like
a broke-down Little Richard,

just a darker, uglier version.

-As I was saying before the
pretty [bleep] interrupted me.

-Did you hear that [bleep]?
He called you a pretty [bleep].

I got your pretty
mother[bleep] --

-Rockstone!

-I think you need to understand
the situation.

-Rockstone!
-Just make the point.

-Rockstone, it's okay.
I am pretty.

-We got things to do.

-[ Laughs ]

-I'd like to bring 3D
to the stage.

Ladies and gentlemen, 3D.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Hey now, hey now.
Can I get a hand?

-Mm!
-Oh! Look out!

-You're getting old,
you're getting old.

-I made it.
[ Laughter ]

I just want to, first of all,
thank everybody for coming out.

And I see most of y'all
are ladies out here, too,

so that means
you're losing money,

so I'm-a keep this short.
I'm up and out. Thanks again.

Alright?
-Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We have rented this
mother[bleep] till 1:00 A.M.,

and we have
a little gift for you.

JoJo, Avery.

-Oh, you can't --
You didn't have to do that, man.

-I know we didn't,
but we wanted to.

-Shall I open it up?
-It's yours.

-Alright, alright.

-Drum roll. [ Vocalizing ]
-Oh!

Wow!

[ Laughs ]

Ah-ah!
-Mm!

-[ Laughs ]

-What?

Thank you, Sweet --
Thank you so for the coat.

[ Laughs ]

[ Coughs ]

Now, drink up, everybody,

'cause the party's over
in about an hour,

'cause some of these ladies
have to --

how do you say it, Sweet?

Matriculate the
financial reinvestments

of short-term windfalls.

-[ Laughs ] Alright then.
3D.

-[ Coughs ]

-Oh, 3D.
Hi, honey.

Oh, gosh, this is such
a great party.

Ahh. So beautiful.

3D?

3D, are you okay?

3D.

Oh, my God, you guys,
I think he's dead!

Oh, God!
-Somebody call an ambulance.

-3D.
You guys, 3D --

-JoJo, Avery, an ambulance!

-[ Screaming ]

-You guys, can somebody
please get help?

-Take me, Lord!

Oh, God.

Take me, Lord!

Ah, Jesus!

Ah!

We buried him, though.

Yeah, we buried him
in his favorite outfit...

and -- and in his favorite car.

I mean, we -- we had no idea

that my uncle
was allergic to chinchilla.

Who would know that?

They don't just write that
on people's heads.

The coroner said that his
esophagus swelled up

and cut off his air supply.

Two days later, I received
a letter about my uncle's will.

It informed me that I was now

the new owner
of the family business,

which I know
absolutely nothing about.

I'm scared.

Boy, I said that's it.
-Watch that.

-I said that's it.
[ Knocking on door ]

Boy, I said it's over.
That's it.

That's it.

-Go get the door.

[ Knocking continues ]

-I need to see --
I need to see --

-That's Sasha.
That's Payton's ex-girlfriend

who wasn't quite ready
to give up on the relationship.

There are strict instructions
not to let her in the house.

-It's busy, Sasha.

-Come on. Avery, now -- I --
Hey! I-I see him!

Hey!

[ Laughs ]
Hey, baby!

I need to talk to Payton.
Let me go in there.

-He's busy! Get your foot
out of the damn d--

-Ow!

Okay, look, I want him to sign
this, uh, prenatal agreement,

if you can just give --
-You mean "prenup."

-No, no, it's a prenatal,
'cause I'm having his baby,

and I need him
to sign this paperwork

so he can show responsibility
for your child!

-Okay, one second, one second.
-Ow!

That was my titty!

-That ain't my girl, punk.
-Okay.

Hey. Boy, I swear --
-Do it one more time.

-Ease up.
-Stop.

My uncle never paid any of
his bills on time, none of 'em.

I mean, there's a 10-year lease

on the Mercedes
that we buried him in.

So because of these problems,
I decided

to run his dating service
a little differently.

-JoJo, we got a problem.
-Starlight is missing --

come to find out Sexy Silk has
stolen her from 3D Enterprises.

He didn't even wait for them
to throw dirt

on my uncle's Mercedes.
And guess what?

Guess who gets nominated
to confront him?

-Let's give him a call.
-This is Sexy Silk. Oo-woo!

-It's just --
-Alright, go. Go.

-Wait, did you want me
to leave a message?

-Talk. Speak.
-Hey -- Hey!

Hey, Sexy.

Uh, hey, this is JoJo.

You got something of mines,
and I want it back.

You want to know
what's running through my brain?

It's me thinking that you better
have her dressed

and have her ready,

'cause I'm about to get there
and pick her up...

-Oh, hey, now.
-H-Hello?

-And you're here
to pick up who, JuJu?

-Uh, I-I'll be
picking up Starlight.

-Uh, Starlight don't work
for y'all no more.

-No, no, no.

S-Starlight, she -- she's still
employed by 3D Enterprises.

-O-whoo!
Ooh.

You done made my eyebrows bleed.

Ooh.
Listen, JoJo,

Starlight is no longer in your
employ, so stop tripping.

You know how the game
is played, baby.

I'm the prettiest pimp
in D.C., baby.

Come on and play ball
with me, babe.

-Where's she at?
Let me speak to her.

-Starlight, go on
and talk to him.

You got about 30 seconds now.

You know you getting ready
for an appointment.

She's getting ready for an
appointment, J.J.

-H-Hi, JoJo.

-Why, Starlight?

-JoJo, you know I love you guys,

but this is just
a-a better opportunity.

-Next time I see you,
I'm-a whup your ass.

-O-whoo!

Ooh, I'm gonna
scratch your eyes out.

-Stop it!
I was watching "Raymond."

-We are just gonna have to take
this thing to another level.

Now, when I first came to D.C.
it was me and my three kids.

3D, he's gone above
and beyond the call of duty

for me and my kids.

He's given us a place to stay,
he's given my life

a sense of stability
and meaning.

Guys, he has single-handedly
helped everyone in this room.

I've been to Hell and back.

We can and we
will overcome this.

-Mom! Mom!

-One monkey don't s-- Hey!

Kischa, Devlin, and Rashad,
if y'all don't sit

your black asses down somewhere,

I'm gonna come in there
and knock the hell out of you.

-I am sitting!

-Now shut up!

-Thank you.

-Now, one monkey
don't stop no show.

Now, if we have to just work
extra hours, then guess what,

guys, we will
work extra hours.

-Mm-hmm.

-If we got to recruit more
girls, hey,

guess we got to go out there
and recruit some more girls.

-I can do that.
I'll do that myself.

-Right, guys?

-If we have to give more
reach-arounds --

Yeah, if we have
to give some more

dirty Sanchezes --

-What'd she -- What's she say?

-Yeah.
-What's a dirty Sanchez?

-The competition
was getting fierce.

After my uncle died,
all kinds of folks started

showing up on our block
trying to take over.

That's Needman Marquez.

He runs the most profitable
escort business Northeast D.C.

Yes, he's gay,
and, yes, he's bipolar.

-Constance, is that you
in there?

-I'll be right there.
-Get your behind out the car.

Constance, don't let me
drag you out here

and embarrass you in the street.

Somebody hold Matches.

-Needman, I am almost finished.
-She knows what the problem is.

I don't have my girls out
in the public

with their heads
looking like that.

Frisco.

Look at your nappy-ass hair.

Now get back in there
and finish doing your business,

and if I catch your head
looking like that again,

it's gonna be you and me.

[ Car door slams ]

Where's Matches?
Mama.

Stop right there.

-Uh, we just, uh,
hold your doggie for you.

Such a juicy --
cute little puppy.

-I cannot for the life of me

figure out why Mow Ping's always
stayed so damn busy.

Some people say they put
extra meat in every dish.

That's how I see it.

Hey, girl.

-Hey, J.J.
What's going on, baby?

-It's JoJo.
-Whatever.

Business is very good, baby.

-As you can see, business
is good for us, too.

[ Slapping, metal clinks ]

God damn it.

-Yeah, I see.

Damn it, damn it!

I asked you not to lean
on me so hard.

Oh, my God, Stone, look --
A wrinkle.

Soo Yee, handle it.

-In the car -- wow.

-So, J.J., listen.
-It's JoJo.

Like, that's my birth name.
My mom gave me that.

Just do that. Just call me what
my mom called me, Silk.

-J.J., Juju --
Juju, JoJo, whatever.

-It's all the same to you.
-Yes.

So listen, I'm willing
to break you off 75K, baby...

-Mm-hmm.
-...plus 5% on the back end --

no pun intended.
Ow-oo!

-You know what, Silk?
Man, I'm gonna have to pass.

I mean, 3D Escorts,
I think we're doing fine.

We're doing pretty good.
-Okay, 6% on the back end.

-Yeah, I'm still gonna pass.

-Stone, give him one
of my business cards.

-Here you go, JuJu.

-And call me after
you think about it.

-[ Sighs ]

Wow.

Um, okay.

Well, I got this.

Let me put it in my pocket.

Oh, I can't 'cause it's too big.

I'll just...

Alright.

I'll carry it like a briefcase.
-Good.

Just think about it --
-Thank you.

-Turn it around in your mind.
-This is good.

-♪ Jeannie's got the juice ♪

-93.9 WKYS --

It's your girl Jeannie Jones,
the Kitty of the City.

Meow.

Ladies, one of my little
juice bars

told me that JoJo over at 3D
Enterprises is looking for you.

-That's right, ladies,
we are looking for you,

'cause we not doing too well,

so we went down
to the Lanham Centre,

home of the BTE offices --

that's Black Television
Entertainment.

A lot of people was
standing in line,

'cause they was auditioning
for "105 & Benning Road."

-Just a shade off -- you know,
just -- just one little shade.

You close, though.
Thanks for coming.

Hey, brother Ben.
How you doing?

Hey. Goodbye now.
Hey -- Oh, no, no, no, no.

Yes. Yes.

Oh, my goodness, look at that.
Look at that.

I think I like --
This way, this way, this way.

I'm thinking no.

-So the account executive
wouldn't take my money,

because they felt
running commercials

about a dating service
would exploit and degrade women

and how BTE has strict policies
against that.

-We have high
standards here at BTE.

Showing women
in a negative light

is just not something
we would do.

[ Knocking on door ]

-[ Sighs ]

-Hi!
-It's Sasha.

-Ah, sir --
Yes, I have some cookies

that a Mr. Payton
Profit ordered --

little Scout cookies.

-Little Scout cookies.
You know what, Sasha?

This is really getting old.

Like, you got to stop this.

You're not even together.

It's stupid.

-You're yelling at me.
-Yes, Sasha, I am.

Sasha, that's it.

[ Knock on door ]

-We gonna try this again.

Um. Sir, yes.

I have some cookies that Mr.
Profit ordered for a fundraiser,

and this one right here
is my favorite one.

This one is called Pink Poutine.

-Pink Poutine.
You know what, Sasha?

You really starting
to make me mad.

Okay?
You know why?

'Cause this is not who you are!

Stop -- Like,
you're not even together.

-Taste it.

-No, I don't want
to taste the cookie.

That's it.

Get out!
Get out, Sasha!

Get out!
Not in my house!

Sasha, not in our house!

Get off!

-This ain't over!

-Oh, she's annoying!

Well, it's Saturday afternoon,
and competition was crazy,

so crazy my line
was down the block.

It even brought the biggest pimp
in D.C. out.

And Sexy Silk with his punk-ass.

-You got any black in you?

You want some?

Ow! [ Laughs ]

Shut up.
Ha!

-Damn, you look like you
fell out a tree.

-Take one of my business cards
and call me.

-Oh, man, we got
to do something.

These Negroes are stealing
all our best prospects.

-You're taller than me.
I-I can't see --

-JoJo, can you just help us
to do something in, please?

[ Knock on door ]
-Let him in, Sweets.

-Calm down.
-You're right.

I'm just a little nervous.
Let's get them in here.

-[ Clears throat ]

Hello, la-- Ugh.

Guess who it is?
-Close it. Come on, close it!

-Are you aware that you need
to have a permit

to have an assembly of this
many people on public property?

It's a violation
of section code 15-432.

-I-I don't even know
what you just said.

I-I really don't. Are you aware
of a freedom of assembly,

because that's all we're doing.
-True. True, true, true, true.

That's true, slim.

Unfortunately, they are blocking
the entrance

to a couple of businesses,
you know what I'm saying?

But I'm sure between us
brothers

we can work
something out, right?

-Hold on a second
for crying out loud, Cal.

This man is clearly
violating the law

to which we've got to uphold.
-No, he's not.

-Yes, he is.
Take a look at this flier.

They're recruiting whores,
for Christ's sakes.

-They're recruiting whores for
Christ --

-Hold on, hold on.
I got this.

Listen, brother --

-I am not your brother.
-Wow. He didn't mean that.

-Okay, well, um, we're not
breaking any laws here.

Now, I understand
the hypothetical ramifications

for which you have
predetermined an evasive breach

of inconsequential incongruent
confidentiality of said group.

-Wow.
-But the difference is beyond

the trespassment
of sole proprietorship,

which would make you possibly
have, uh, an enhancement

of telephonic proportionments
to this here establishment.

-What?
-In your face. In your face.

-Damn.
-Wow, man, that was nice.

Have you ever thought
about becoming a lawyer?

-Taking a few classes online.

-Wow, 'cause that was
well stated -- well stated.

What's up, man?
-What is wrong with you, Cal?

We need to cite these --
Cal, we need to --

I'm gonna cite you.

-Come on, sir, this is America.

We have freedom of assembly.

Now, can I please see
a copy of the code

that we're supposedly violating?

-How are you doing, baby?
-Good.

-Yeah? I've been here at least
a dozen times.

I ain't never seen you before.

-I was probably out working.

-Oh, yeah?
-[ Laughs ]

-Oh, you're cute.

-Thank you.
-Yeah.

-You need something?

-Actually, I do.
-Okay.

-Yeah.
-Whatcha need?

-Okay, listen, we're just tired
of you guys shaking us down.

-Business is bad, sir.
Come on.

We have no money,
and the economy

under this
current administration

has put a squeeze on Americans.

And guess what?
It's $3.00 at the pump.

-Did you say "$3.00 at the
pump"? "$3 a pump?"

We -- I got it.

I should start charging
$3.00 a pump.

-Hey, what are you doing?

-Feeling on your face
to see if you fine.

-So, what do you think?

-Oh, you definitely
a pretty boy.

-[ Laughs ]

-But you know that was
17-and-a-half pumps, right?

I told you to take your time.

So, that's 17 times 3 --

-Wait, wait, wait, wait.
D-Don't forget the coupon.

-Okay, that's 52, 10% coupon.

Wait a minute.

These coupons is expired.

-Uh, you need to honor
that coupon,

'cause I've been out of
the country the last two months.

-That's a damn lie.

I saw your ass in the line
at Mow Ping.

-How did you see me?
How did you see me?

-Pay me my money.
-You know what?

I don't like your attitude
anyway,

which I'm filling out on
your questionnaire right here.

-I don't care what you
write down, pretty boy.

You need to pay me my money.

-Now I'm not
paying you anything.

-POW, he trying not to pay me!

-Vanity, baby,
go get in the car.

-[ Laughs ]

What's this guy supposed to do?

-You got five seconds to give me
her money, or --

-Or what?

Man, I don't want to hurt you.

-Three, two, one.

Where the money at?
I want it now!

-[ Laughing breathlessly ]

Will you get my back, too,
real quick?

Please?

-Because America has lost
its sense of what's important.

Now let me
get something straight.

I am a registered voter,
and I will exercise

my God-given right to vote
and know my rights.

Now, unless you can show me
somewhere in this penal code

exactly what code
has been violated here,

I highly suggest that you go
find some real criminals

to mess with
and back up out of my face.

-Yeah, the thing that you need
to know about --

-I think we better jet, yo.

Baby, I'm gonna see you
next time, okay?

-Okay, sweetie.
Thank you. Mwah! Mwah!

-Wait, one more, one more,
one more.

Mwah!
Can you please talk to him?

-I will.

-Now, just for y'all's
information, okay,

I'm about to get them people off
the street, in the house --

like, I'm about to do that ASAP.

-Copy that.
-They're coming in now.

-Got it.
-Well, thank you, and the sooner

you get that done,
the better, okay?

Have a marvelous day.

Oh, and by the way, you're
behind again in your payment,

so I'll expect payment soon.

-I don't need you putting
my financial situation out in --

I'm-a get you.

-Close my door.

-Business out there,
finding my people --

-Sexy's out there.
-Are you serious?

-Damn, he is clocking
two fine twins.

All right, it's time for me
to get out there.

How do I look?
-You ready?

Okay, get them, 'cause --

-♪ Grab my party, p-party,

-Sonogram.

-Sonogram.
See that little penis?

It look just like your little
penis, it's a little so--

-This ain't no sonogram.

It's an X-ray of some teeth.

-You understand?
-[ Laughs ]

-So, listen,
if you have any problems,

you go see the H-O director.
You understand?

And he gonna take care
of all of your needs.

Also we have paid vacation
and all-paid holidays,

you understand what I'm saying.

Also, ladies, you got to work on
all the black holidays,

'cause, as you know, those
are our most busiest times.

You ladies think
you can handle the job?

-Oh, yes.
-Oh, yes.

-We can be some real freaks.
-We can be some real freaks.

-And we do everything together.
-And we do everything together.

-Wow.
-Silk, Silk, Silk --

-I-I-I like that.

Take one of my business cards.

-[ Clears throat ]

-Whoa, hold up.
-Excuse us, ladies.

Sexy, what are you doing?

-I'm just doing my job, baby.

-These women are out here
because of us, our hard work.

You're violating, man.

-Rockstone, did you see that?

-That's what I've been
trying to tell you, Sexy.

Them are Chinese twins.

-That's Siamese twins,
with your dumb ass.

-That's the same thing.

-Rockstone, they are joined
at the hips, baby.

That is some freaky [bleep].

-Well, you want me
to get them out the car?

-No, no, no. Leave them.
That's double the money, baby.

-Oh, yeah.
-Sexy, I'm taking to you, man.

You done already

Now you out here being straight-

-It's 18 different pimps

Why you coming down on me, baby?

-'Cause you're trifling,
that's why.

-No, no, no, it's alright.

What's it gonna look like
Rockstone, as big as you is

beating up a little guy
like him in a wheelchair.

-Man, nigga,
I don't discriminate.

-Come on, Baby Huey.
Touch the button.

-I'll be on your ass.

-You know, the lord has given
all the ingredients for you

to be truly successful
in this business.

I'm a Christian man
with Christian values,

and I must say, I see the values
in that tight body

and those beautiful breastses.

-That's Deacon Windfall
right there.

He's a legitimate pastor

of a huge church
in Fort Washington.

-Where are you taking her, man?
-That right there is Ali Pacino.

He's Iranian,
but he thinks he's mafioso.

-Yep, he's not Italian --
nobody really doesn't want

to tell him, though,
for the obvious reasons.

-I think you thought
you were talking to me.

Stay away from her, man.

She's not for you, okay?

-I don't want any problems.

I understand why you're taken
by this beautiful young lady.

But, unfortunately,
she has already been chosen.

-Oh.
So you are talking to me.

You must not know who you're
talking to,

'cause I can bury you
like a cockroach, you know that?

-Excuse me.

-Hey, you want to play rough?

You want to play rough, man?

Okay, I'll play rough.

-Stop!

Everybody freeze!

Put down the M16!

Put down the bazooka!

Everybody freeze or I'm gonna
cut somebody.

-Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's your name, baby?

-It's Tabitha.

-Tabitha.

Tabitha -- like that.

Whatcha got in the bag, baby?

-Oh, just some stuff

-What's your old job, baby?
-What's your job?

-I used to work at

-Oh, okay.
-The Universal Soul Circus.

Big top.
-Circus.

-Big top.

-Big top!
-Circus.

-I love that. Casual Cal,

Rockstone, I've asked you
not to do that, baby.

-I know, man.
I know.

-Come here.

Come here.

Wipe that off.
-I'm sorry.

-You ain't never been
in no circus.

-Yeah, I really was.

Wait -- watch this.

-Oh, snap.

-What is she doing, baby?

-I just need that right there.

Watch this.

-Hey, hey, hey, hey.
No, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Baby, you ain't got
to do all that.

-No? 'Cause I --

-No, Rockstone gonna take you
to the car,

and you can do a little audition
for me back at the palace.

Alright?
-Oh. Okay.

-I mean, I believe you was
in the circus now.

-I told you.

-Okay. Pop it, pop it.

Pop it, pop it.

And then pop it.

-Are you pop locking?

-Yeah. And dropping it.

-Uh, Tabeetha?

-Tabitha.
-T-Tabitha?

-Yeah?
-Ooh, don't dance no more.

-Don't do it?
-The dance is not working out.

-Alright.
-Why don't you try the pole?

-Oh, yeah, I can do the pole.
That's --

-Yeah, do the pole, baby.

-Alright, I can do that pole.

-Aah! Ooh!

Okay. Hey.

Hey.
-Yeah.

-Look here, uh, Tabeetha --
-Tabitha.

-Yes. Listen,

I think you have a little
problem with coordination.

-Oh, no, it's the shoes.
-No, no, no.

[ Mimicking Chinese ]

Ooh.

Listen, baby, um,
Sexy's girls need to be sexy.

-Well, just give me
another chance. Please.

-Baby, I just don't think
it's gonna work out.

Okay? Shut up.

Listen, get yourself
something to eat on the way out.

Ooh, that's nice.

Ooh.

Oh, oh, oh!
Rockstone!

-She's got a sword, Sexy!

Whoa!
-Wait a minute, now.

Rockstone --
-Whatcha gonna do with that?

-Are you watching her?

Oh, my God.

-What she about to, Sexy?
-Hold this -- No, I'll keep it.

I need to eat and watch this.
-So crazy.

She gonna cut herself.

-[ Gagging ]

-Snap!

-Oh!
Ooh, that hurts.

Oh. Damn.

-[ Gulps ]

Yeah.
-Damn.

Uh, did you really swallow
the whole sword?

-Yes, I did.
-Where did it go?

-Did you see -- She is a top --

-L-Look at her!

Oh, she pulled it
out of her ass.

Damn. We gonna get paid, Sexy.
We gonna get paid.

-Oh, Lord, have mercy.
Can you start tonight, baby?

-Yeah. Yes, I can.
-Oh, you're a moneymaker.

Shake your moneymaker.

-It's getting late,
but there's still

a few beautiful ladies in line.

-Jayketta!

-That's Denzel.
He ain't wrapped too tight.

And, yes, he does think
that he's Denzel Washington.

-Okay. I'm looking for my wife,
Jayketta.

I know somebody's seen her.

She's about 5'7", 145 pounds.

Alright, you disloyal fool-ass,
[bleep]-made punks.

-What you standing here
looking pretty for?

You're a police officer, huh?

I want to see
that goddamn warrant.

[ Laughs ]

-I will have you playing
basketball in Pelican Bay

when I finish with you.

23-0, a lockdown.

I run stuff here.

You just live here.

King Kong
ain't got nothing on me.

-[ Coughs ]

-But if you see her
just let me know.

Tell her I'm looking for her.

-You know what? Some of these
girls are a little too uptight.

They need to loosen up.

-I have no idea what to do, man.

-Liquor, man.
We need liquor and smokes.

Sweet, call POW
and tell him to get some weed.

-Yeah, yeah.

-[ Sniffs ]

[ Cellphone beeps ]

-Oh, my God.

Dude, look at what she doing.

She just put a boogie
in her hair.

-I'm going to the liquor store.

-Since Sasha, Payton
has been reluctant

to get involved
with anyone seriously.

But I think all that's
about to change.

-[ Blows nose ]

-Ohh.
You are exquisite.

Why don't you go right
on upstairs.

Yeah, alright.

-You buy now, you leave.
-I don't know what I want yet.

Alright, the --
the strawberry coolers,

do it really taste
like strawberry?

Or is it --
Is it like strawberry?

I had some before, and it wasn't
really that strawberry.

Okay, um, the banana --
the banana daiquiri mix,

does it really
taste like bananas?

-It tastes like banana.

-But is it the banana-est,
'cause they don't always --

-I do not have all day for you.

-I want the banan-ery tasting
daiquiri.

That's what I want.
-You [bleep] making me sick.

-You know what?
Just give me some beer.

[ Door closes ]

[ Gun cocks ]

Is the beer beer-y?

Is not the beer-iest?

-Go! Go!
-Okay.

Is this --
-Go! Go! Go!

-Is this beer-y?
-Go!!

-Is -- Am I gonna get drunk?

-Man, hey, you got the money?

-You got the bags?
-Do I got the bags?

Man, tch!

Mmm, smell that.

Yeah, yeah. Nah, nah, nah, nah.
Money, please.

-I like that.
-The money is always good.

-That's a nice Burberry seat
you got right there.

-Yeah.
-$20, man.

-Okay, yeah, give me that.

-Hey, man, how much
these wheels cost you?

[ Both laughing ]

-Look at --
-Goodnight, playboy.

-I guess these dudes
don't know about

POW's spring-loaded
ejection seat.

No matter how far you are,
he can launch himself at you

with pinpoint accuracy.

We had to figure out who's gonna
manage the additional lady.

You want me to do it?

Nah. No.
First, I'm an asthmatic --

My breathing ain't right,
and that's got a lot --

That's something that's --
I can't.

I can't do it. I --

-We -- We believe in you, JoJo.

-So we started interviewing.

All kinds of ladies
came through.

Landscapers, clowns,

choir directors,
beauty queens...

So, Ms. Benning Road,
what brings you here?

-I believe in world peace.

-Because I believe
the children are our future.

-No -- Oh, no. I said I wanted
to know -- Why are you here?

-I would like to promote
a green world,

where everybody
is an ecological equal.

-Um, but this is
an escort business.

Here, what we do is --

-Well, I love jogging
and swimming,

and I am an active member
of my church,

and I believe in the ethical
treatment of all animals.

-Yeah, I-I don't think
you're listening to me,

'cause you keep --
You keep promoting yourself.

I don't really need you
to do that.

I'm just trying --
-What about the children?

-I'm sorry.
What'd you say?

-The little black, green,
orange, yellow,

and even white children.

-You see some kids in here
that don't belong?

- ♪ What about the ♪

♪ Children? ♪

♪ The little, little children ♪

♪ The small, fragile little ♪

♪ Children ♪

♪ The sweet, oh, so sweet ♪
-Okay.

Why don't you just go ahead
and take my card and call me.

-Oh, thank you!
Thank you.

I will.
Thank you.

-I mean, I love men and all,

but this might come
as a surprise to you.

I do women also.

-I knew it.
-Really?

-I knew it.

[ Knock on door ]
-Coming.

Hey!

You're the eighth-grade teacher,
correct?

-That is correct.

-I see you brought one
of your students.

-[ Laughs ] He's not one
of my students anymore.

He's my husband.

-Oh.

-So, you think you're sexy?

-I have a list of ex-boyfriends

that will attest
to how good I am.

There isn't nothing I won't do.

-What the hell is going
on with your eye?

-What? Do -- Do I have
an eye booger or something?

-No. One of your eyes
is doing, like,

some "to the left, to the left."

-Oh. You noticed.

-[ Laughs ] Yeah.

-Well, actually, I have to have
one more operation on it.

The doctors are tightening the
muscle in it after the accident.

-Accident?

-About two years ago,
I was making love to my man,

and he was packing
some serious USDA Choice,

if you know what I mean.

And we had been drinking, and --

-Y'all had a car accident?

-Mohogany, don't you have
something you can be doing?

-Sorry.
-Alright, thank you.

Go ahead, baby.
It's okay.

-We were making passionate, kind
of rough love like I was saying

and...
-Mm.

-Well, his, uh...

-Come on.
-It's okay, girl.

Take your time.
-Mohogany!

-Sorry.
-Go ahead.

-Well, his -- his penis
accidentally hit me

in the eye with such force --

I mean, I was blind
for almost three days,

and I've been
cockeyed ever since.

[ Laughter ]

-Oh, come here.

-♪ Oh, give me love ♪

-Shh!

-It wasn't going too well.

And then as fate would have it,

the most stunning woman
I've ever seen was at the door.

-Okay, what'd I say?
Right on cue.

-How are you?
-Um -- [ Clears throat ]

Uh, hey.

Hello.
How are you?

-Fine. How are you?

-Um, were -- were you
in the line outside?

I didn't see you.
-No, no, no.

I had a modeling gig, and this
was as soon as I could get here.

-Modeling, huh?
Well, that's good.

That's gotta be excite--
I'm just talking --

My name is JoJo.
What's your name, baby?

-My name is Caramel.

-Caramel?
-Yes.

-You look it.
You look like that's your name.

I don't even know
why I asked you.

You look soft.
-Well, thank you.

-You taste like it.
I'm joking.

I'm playing, girl.
You don't.

You probably do,
but I don't know.

Hey, give me a second.

record and say this.

I think I speak for all of us,
but, baby, you are beautiful.

-Thank you.
-No, I mean,

I really think
you're beautiful, though.

Like, I can't stop
looking at you.

Have you ever done
this type of work before?

-No, not really.

-No, but, I mean,
you're open to learn, right?

-Oh, absolutely.
I heard the money's really good.

-Well, that's if you're willing
to do the work.

See, you have to have a passion

for the simplicity and duplicity
of this profession,

which is usually predicated on
the finalization of said union.

-Excuse me?
-What I'm trying to say --

-What's he's trying to say is,
"Are you good in bed?"

-I haven't gotten
many complaints.

-I don't know.
You look a little shy.

-Oh, no, I'm not shy at all.
-Yeah?

-No, I'm not shy.
-Ohh!

I'm sorry.

-Do I seem shy to you now?
-No, but you might be pregnant.

-Uh --
I mean, I can't really say

if you're shy or not
unless you want to do me.

-Still look a little shy to me.
-What are you talking about?

I just jumped on your train.

Yeah. Yeah.
-Thank you, thank you.

-No problem, sweetie.
-May I use your bathroom?

-Girl, you don't have to ask me.

She is so pretty.

-I just said that.
I-I'm -- I like her.

-But you know what? It's a whole
lot more girls outside,

and I don't think we should put
all our eggs in one basket.

-Wow. Okay.

good legs, and now you're upset?

Because she doesn't have

Do you need to tell us
something about yourself

that you didn't tell us earlier

to be a dude.

-This is nice.
What kind of stones are these?

This is, like, unique.

-Well, thank you you.

These ain't stones.

that have fallen out.

y'all might have a dental plan.

-Mm-hmm. Yeah, we --
we are giving one.

-Well, that's good, 'cause I got
this one back here, and it died.

I got a root canal or something.

-Mm.
-It's this one back here,

next to the one
that looks like a pair of dice.

-Oh, yeah, I see it.

It smells a little bit.

You close --
Go ahead, you can close it.

You can close it.

I saw it, though.

Wow.

But you know what?

Let's -- How about we just get
back to your experience,

and what's going on with --

-Yeah, I used to work
for my old man...

-Mm.
-...before he got locked up.

-Um, what?

You said he got locked up?

in Memphis, Tennessee.

-Mm.
-Yeah.

He was also talented.

Yeah, he always wanted
to be a rapper.

He could rap good.

But you know what?

T's record about
a corrective boot --

it became a huge
underground record in Memphis.

But T didn't make a dime on it.

Someone down on bootlegged it.

-After getting hit with a 9,

Trey said goodbye
to the gangster life,

went to school,
received his law degree,

and is now known
as Judge Trey Duece.

-Your Honor, we was together
for, like, six months,

and then stuff just started
coming up missing.

-Like what?
-He took my washer and dryer.

-That would be a lie,
Your Honor.

I just took the dryer.

-It doesn't matter.
You still took 'em.

-Your Honor, this is just some
angry, vengeful woman stuff.

She's angry because
I don't want her.

I mean, look at her.

She's let herself go way down.

-Okay, now when he met you,

he did admit to you
that he was a thief, right?

-Correct?

-Well, it don't take a [bleep]

-What's your name?
-Chlamydia.

-Chlamydia?

-No, it's not.

-Turns out, she was popping
penicillin like their Tic Tacs.

We had to wait 7-10 days

You can't take checks.

No, give it to me.

We don't take checks.
-Chlamydia.

That's a very pretty name.

-No, it's not.
-No, it's not.

I sees the police officers
coming in from over there.

-The southern part of the block.
-Yes, ma'am.

And thens everybody
starts to run north.

And then some mens start to be
fighting the polices over there.

But other than that,
I ain't seen nothing.

-Bob, basically what he's saying
is is from his vantage point,

the po-po come
from the south side,

and then some mens
started fighting right there.

Bob, I couldn't have put it
any better.

I'm-a talk to the bank
about taking out a loan.

-Just shut up, JoJo.
Just shut up.

-Uh, I-I got some bad news.

The, uh, they came by
and took the kids.

-JoJo, what did you just say?

-The Child Protection people
came by and took the kids.

-Wait, w-where did they take
my kids, JoJo?

-JoJo, wait, where the --

How are you gonna let them

They got you on --
on prostitution

and three counts
of child endangerment.

Like, that's serious.

Now, what I do know, because
I've talked to the officer,

he said that after
your hearing has passed,

then you got a better chance
of getting your kids back.

More than likely, you will.

But thank God for Avery,

The Honorable
Joseph A. Purgatory

over these proceedings.

This is a case of the State
versus Angela A. Roquemore.

[ Door opens and closes ]

-Hey, y'all, there's
Judge Trey from TV!

Judge Trey!

[ All chanting "Judge Trey!" ]

-Hey, hey, hey!
Okay, okay, okay!

Okay, okay!
Order in the court.

Y'all take a seat.

Okay, let's see
what we've got here.

We've got prostitution
and child endangerment.

I detest any woman --
any woman --

who engages in sex for sale.

Prostitution is illegal
in the District of Columbia.

Exposing your children
to that lifestyle --

that is despicable!

However, I am just here
to judge these proceedings.

We have selected a jury
of your peers

who we think will be
objective, unbiased, and fair.

Bailiff, can you bring
in the jury?

[ Indistinct talking ]

Okay, well, I see you have
exercised your right

not to use a public defender.

Who is the counselor of note

for Mrs. Roquemore?
-I am, Your Honor.

-What are you credentials to
practice law in this district?

-Um... [ Clears throat ]

I, uh, knew that you would exact
that question

from your large vocabulary

to reduce the intimidation
factor by minimal overloads

to somehow manifest the relevant
to the irrelevant.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Order in the court!
Order in the court!

Okay, I will ask you again.

What makes you think you can
practice law in my courtroom?

-I, uh, worked at
prepaid...[mumbles].

-What was that?

-I worked at prepaid legal for,
like, three weeks.

[ Laughter ]
-Prepaid legal?

Did he say "prepaid legal"?

[ Laughs ]

Prepaid legal?

Hell, I did prepaid legal.

Why didn't you say
"prepaid legal"?

-You did?
-Prepaid legal.

-Class of '03.
-'63.

Sky five. Oh!

-You too?

Your Honor, the defense would
like to bring to the stand,

Mr. JoJo Dickerson.

-To be honest with you, Judge,
um,

I-I've known
Angela all my life, man.

-Could you just hurry
the [bleep] up?

And why you got so many people
up here anyway?

-Are you talking to me?

-Maybe I'm just like my brother.

-Do you understand
what I'm saying?

I love her.
And unlike Vic

and his punk-ass friends,
I'd go to jail to protect mine.

So anybody try to do anything to
goddamn Angela, I'll kill you.

You better not let this
goddamn wheelchair fool you.

I'll find your ass.

I'm telling you right now.

-Angela is an incredible
ho...memaker.

She used to buy us

over there, and I rumble.

-Mrs. Prosecutor,
can we have your case, please?

-Thank you, Your Honor.
The District of Columbia,

we recommend that this defendant
be prosecuted

to the fullest extent
of the law.

[ Crowd booing ]

[ Gavel bangs ]

-Order in the court!
Order in the court!

Now, before we take this case
to trial,

and I recommend
a guilty verdict,

would the defense like
to make a closing remark?

-Okay, uh, Judge Trey,
can I have a few words

with you, please?
-By all means.

-I feel like you pre-judged me.

And you don't know me.

You don't know
what I've been through.

You don't know my struggles.

Now, my children,
they are well taken care.

Guess what?
They attend private school,

and they receive the love
that most children dream of.

So, yes, Judge Trey, you can
take my children away from me,

because you assume

that I'm incapable
to taking care of them.

But can I ask you a question,
Judge Trey?

Can you, with a clear
conscience, sleep at night,

Judge Trey, knowing that you
have broken up a happy family?

So, please Judge Trey, don't
judge this book by its cover.

I'm a mom on the inside,
Judge Trey,

but all you see is a ho.

And it's the same ho

that you came to visit
on Minnesota Avenue

at 2:00 o'clock
in the morning...

-That's an outrageous lie!

-...and had me wearing the
mascot head of a duck

as part of your kinky
little fetishes.

-Wear no damn duck head
in my life.

[ Crowd gasping ]

What?!
I'm wearing slippers.

These are slippers.

I bought these at Duck World.

Can't a man wear slippers?

I mean, these are slippers.

-Everything is back
to normal now.

The neighborhood is back.

Angela was found innocent and
the kids were returned to her,

but, unfortunately, the Mows
are having a little problem

primarily with the Health
Department and the SPCA.

-You cannot do this to me!

I've been feeding everyone
for years!

-The Mows' loss is my gain.

I sold the escort business
to Sexy Silk,

then I took the proceeds out and
bought all the Mow's businesses.

Yep.
You see that?

Dreams do come true.

Wait, wait, wait!
That's not the end of the story.

Angela became
a United States Senator

of the great state
of Louisiana.

Mohogany, well, she's out
of the business now.

She's successfully sued the
prosthetic company in Oregon,

and received a nice settlement

and is now working for Angela
as her press secretary.

Payton is doing great,
but he still has Sasha problems.

-What, Sasha?
-I'm pregnant.

-You're not even showing.

And that's an anal thermometer.

-Ew!

-Oh!

-My cousin Avery has
a successful

hair transplant business.

-From Avery Enterprises --

Are you losing
your hair prematurely?

Now there's the Pubic Hair Club
For Men.

-I used to always wear
a baseball cap,

'cause my thinning hair line

used to make me
look older than I was.

But then I found out about
the Pubic Hair Club For Men.
