What the hell you looking at? I

wish you'd get that song right.

Always drunk.

I should set her ass on fire.

Girl, now what you mad at?

You did good.

That's Monk.

He works backstage,

but no one knows what he does

besides borrow money.

Taffy, you sho' nuff gorgeous.

Love the hair.

Loan me a nickel note, dime

note, two cents, whatever.

Go on, Monk. You still

owe me from last week.

You better pay me.

And that's Ace.

Ace owns Church.

He liked to be

called Sunshine Ace,

but most folks

just called him Ace.

Goddamn Rooster!

Unless they wanted something.

Sunshine Ace! Just the

man I'm looking for.

Listen to me,

you son of a big jackass,

you ain't gonna get nothing

from me but the what for.

The what for?

Yeah, when I put my foot in your ass,

you gonna say, "What for? What for?"

Now move. You're $85 in the

hole! Come on, Sawed-Off.

Rooster! Rooster!

Come on, man.

Man, I hope they don't

start throwing bottles again.

Holy moly!

Rooster's late again.

Y'all jackasses,

play something quick.

Like what?

He ain't even here yet, man.

I don't care what you play.

All I know is I got

a house full of angry people,

and ain't none of these n*ggers

getting their money back.

All right, Baby Blue,

you're on, man.

Jackass!

One, two, three, four.

Suddenly, I was

forced into the hot seat.

I hated the spotlight.

It always gave me the jitters.

Somebody

owe us something.

Now I done

paid my damn money!

I told you

to bring the good songs.

You better come

harder than that, sweetie!

This ain't no mortuary!

Keep your hand

on the keys, man.

Now,

y'all gonna throw up.

Look at the keys.

Jackass gonna get my club

torn to pieces.

Hi, daddy.

Hey.

Kids,

y'all be good tonight.

Mind your mother. You want

to go shopping tomorrow?

Yes. Okay. Go on and give me a kiss.

Bye, Daddy.

Bye, Daddy.

Love you.

How's my tie?

Perfect.

I'll see you in the morning.

I'll be glad when the police come

and bust this place up, Rooster.

And don't you come calling me

to bail you out.

Girl, bye.

Here comes the family man.

Sh*t. Family man?

More like bow tie pimp.

Late again, as usual.

Oh, hell, man.

He's going to throw up again?

I'm in here!

No, oh, man. No.

Watch out, ladies.

He gonna blow.

Ladies and gentlemen,

boys and girls,

give it up for

the amazing Rooster.

Evening, ladies.

Hey.

Sho' nuff looking right tonight. Thanks.

Just gotta do one thing.

What's that, baby?

Don't show so much so soon.

You got to give a man

something to dream about.

That's right.

Okay, Rooster.

Okay, my ass.

Bye, daddy.

Rooster.

Ain't he fine?

Riding so smooth, baby.

I'm as smooth as

a baby's bottom is.

No, he didn't.
