He done done, ain't he?

F*** it.

So this young lady

is on trial for prostitution.

The judge says,

''You're very attractive.

''You look like

you might have indian heritage.

''Are you a Navaho?''

She said, ''No, your honor.

''I'm a Chicago ho.''

Would you get us some beers,

Eddie?

All right.

''I'm a Chicago ho.''

l hung around

the obvious places for awhile...

then one day Eddie walked up

to me and started talking...

just like I knew he would.

l will have two beers...

and a white wine

for the tremendous behind.

How you doing, brother?

Remember?

Yes, I remember.

l once knew

a brother named John...

who loved to dance

when he got it on.

He made the p*ssy

do the watusi...

and she said, ''Ooh, God damn,

this rhythm is strong.''

Stay black.

What's that n*gger

talking about, ''Stay black''?

He should stay off that crack.

Eddie?

He's a space case.

l don't know. He, uh...

buys from this man...

David Jason...

who, uh...

apparently is supplied

by the Latins.

Good.

l saw this kid...

killed the other day.

he couldn't have been more

than 12, 13 years old.

Shot him in the back.

l want you to buy from Jason

and then get to the Latins.

You don't want to rush

this thing.

Rush it, please.

What do you need?

I'm looking for Eddie.

lt's OK.

Tell him to get that door.

What's up, man?

What brings you to my office?

Just say no.

l need a bird, man.

You want to straighten up

and fly right.

Stratosphere, baby.

What the f*** you doing?

Sh*t, stop slurping.

this ain't no 7-11.

b*tch, you f***ing up!

I'll send your ass

back to Reseda.

Can you come up with that 1-8

straight maana?

Yeah. I'll have the money.

You need to take this girl

off the fire, man.

She's done.

Why you gonna dis

my Nubian queen like that?

Maana.

You got a right

to remain silent, Eddie.

You got a right to an attorney.

As you might have expected...

lt didn't take Eddie long

to get himself in a jam.

After holding out

for two or three seconds...

he started offering the cops

anybody he could think of.

The first person

he could think of was me.

lt turned out to be

just the break I needed.

Three times four?

Seven.

No, no. You're adding again.

Three plus four--

Honey, she's already done this.

Honey, she will get it.

Three times four?

Twelve.

right! That's right.

See? We worked on this already.

Excellent.

Uh, three times five?

Honey, can you get that?

Eight.

Daddy, why can't I just use

a calculator?

Honey, you can't learn

with a calculator, OK?

What are you doing here?

We got a problem, David.

Call me on the phone.

l don't like--

Your friend Eddie

just got busted.

He's bending over

for the cops...
