You got a problem? You need something?

No.

Just wondered if you was all right.

Go to work, l'll be there in a second.

- See you outside.

You probably don't look up often,

but did you happen to see

a big, tall, black blonde chick?

A big, black blonde chick?

- Red boots. Black blonde.

Scruggy, what's the matter?

You should be feelin' great.

Look, l'm worried about Charlene.

Maybe l should call her.

l never stayed out all night before.

lt's not cool to let

a woman take you for granted.

Besides, you was terrific!

That's not all:
l got a burn down

there. Suppose l caught something.

This isn't funny. Suppose l got

the clap. How will l explain that?

You ain't caught nothin' but a bad

case of the guilts! - Guilt burn?

J.B.'s back on the case,

with a change of pace, with

another, better than the other ...

Come on fellas, whatcha doin'?

This is KGYS

Los Angeles, the hip trip ...

WlTH MANPDWER AND STEAM

EXPERTS AT WDRK:

THE BEST HAND JDB lN TDWN

Mona, baby, it's me!

T.C., mama! Hey!

So bad, super smash no. 3.

To slow the pace to taste,

here's some mellow funk.

Lonnie, how are you?

How's the family? - All right.

Kids DK? - Yeah.

- Charlie? - Fine. - Duane?

l want to talk to you, Duane.

How many times l gotta tell you?

My name is Abdullah. - Abdullah.

Where was Abdullah yesterday?

Somethin' came up.

- Somethin' always comes up.

Yeah. You want these cars washed,

don't you?

Here you go.

Looks good.

Morning.

- Morning!

Before you leave,

listen to what l can do for your car.

Like what? Take over my payments?

There ain't no black Superman.

Dig it, l would be the first!

l wouldn't be no square sucker,

l'd be sharp, sharp, sharp.

l'd have me a bad, black cape, man,

and a helmet, two big eyes ...

You full o' sh*t!

- Come on, Lloyd, like wow,

l'd just be able to

walk up buildings, brother,

and nobody would mess with me.

Nobody, 'cause l'd be the Fly.

You're still full o' sh*t.

You wouldn't talk to me like that

if l was the Fly. - Dh yes l would!

Because then you'd be

full o' fly sh*t.

You know what?

Ain't nothin' lower!

Not kangaroo sh*t,

elephant sh*t or chickenshit.

Ain't nothin' lower than fly sh*t!

You crazy, man! l swear l'll kill you

if you ever do that again!

Mess with my shirt and l'll kill you.

ln only 4 hours, l'll give you

the best shine ever. - Do it!

Look, you didn't happen, by chance,

to see a tall, blonde black girl?

No.

- DK, go ahead, get in.

l'm on my way to see Slide.

Wanna play a number?

- Go lose your own money, fool!

Fool?

Who you callin' fool?

Why you think you're so special?

- 'Cause l'm the only n*gger here

Joel Schumacher

Joel T. Schumacher (born August 29, 1939) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. Schumacher rose to fame after directing hit films of his decade St. Elmo's Fire (1985), The Lost Boys (1987) and Flatliners (1990). He later went on to direct John Grisham adaptations The Client (1994) and A Time to Kill (1996). His films Falling Down (1993) and 8mm (1999) competed for Palme d'Or and Golden Bear respectively. In 1993, he signed on to direct the next installments of the Batman film series. Schumacher-directed Batman films Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997) received mixed-to-negative reactions from both critics and the public. After the Batman films, Schumacher pulled back from blockbusters and returned to making minimalist films such as Tigerland (2000) and Phone Booth (2002), both earning positive reviews. He also directed The Phantom of the Opera (2004), The Number 23 (2007) and two episodes of House of Cards. Known for casting young actors, Schumacher helped actors like Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, and Matthew McConaughey to launch careers. more…
