We got more clubs to hit.

This is Russell. That's Karen.

- Hi, Karen.

- And Sheila.

- Hi.

- I liked your song up there.

It was good.

- Real good.

- Thank you.

And you wanted a $5,000 loan?

Right.

- Do you have any collateral?

- We have recording equipment.

Its approximate worth?

Most of it is used.

I'd say it's worth about five...

$50,000.

It's all digital state-of-the-art stuff.

- $50,000?

- Maybe more.

I'd like to take a look at your books.

Did you bring them?

Sure.

If you don't understand anything,

I can explain it. I wrote it myself.

That won't be necessary.

We got it.

What kind of record company

do you have?

What kind?

What type of music?

- Rap music.

- What?

Rap music.

What is rap music?

Let's just show him.

"An insurmountable beat

subject of discussion

"We can sell records

with the aid of percussion

- "There's no category

- "For this story

"We can make lots of money

in any territory"

Give us the loan.

- Gentlemen, I get the idea.

- Good.

I'm very sorry...

...there's no way I can offer you a loan

at this time.

- What are you saying?

- No.

- What do you mean?

- Your loan request is denied.

Maybe when you're more established...

How can we get established

if you don't give us money to get started?

I'm sorry,

but I cannot offer you a loan at this time.

That's bullshit. You're going to tell me...

- Wait a minute.

- Gentlemen...

I think this guy's gay.

I need six pairs of white-on-white Adidas.

Four pairs of red-and-white,

three pairs of burgundy-and-white...

...and five pairs of black-and-white Adidas.

I can't wait two weeks.

I need it right now.

I don't believe them.

They're fronting me

after all the business I gave them.

Sneaker genius, we're trying to rehearse.

- Rehearse?

- Yes.

Put a little rapping in,

then you'd get somewhere.

So what, big deal, you can rap,

but I bet you can't sing and dance.

- Who?

- You.

I'll show you sing and dance.

Put a beat on,

I'll show you sing and dance.

Yo, don't forget to sing, man.

What's this?

You know what I'm saying?

- Now let's see you rap.

- Anybody can rap.

- Go ahead, then.

- All right. I'll give you something.

Give me one of them sleazy sounds.

All right.

Lord. Good God. Wait.

"Everybody stop on the one, yeah

"Give me two

"Good God, good God"

It's greasy!

Wait.

It's too funky today. I can't talk.

Maybe this'll make you feel better.

Wait. I got it.

"I can sing, rap, dance in dress-up pants

"I can rock your whole world

if you'll give me a chance

"I'm Sheila E and my R-A-P

is the best damn rap that could ever be

"I've got a mass appeal, a little girl smile

"I'll make you happy, baby, all the while
