The Nutty Professor Page #2
- I'm between classes
and I got a m-minute to chat.
- How can I help you?
- Hi. I'm Carla Purty.
- Hello, Miss Purty.
- I'm a grad student.
- I'm teaching my first
chemistry class across the hall.
- Okay. Mm-hmm.
I just had to come over
and introduce myself.
I've followed your work
for many years, and I'm a big fan.
Well, thank you very much.
I'm fatter-
uh, flattered that you've been
following my work the way you have.
A chemistry teacher. Chemistry sure
is important to have... chemistry...
to have and use it.
Chemically- Chemistry. Well-
- It's been a pleasure meeting you.
Oh, the pleasure was
all mine, Miss Purty.
And, um, hope to
see you around.
Well, you can't miss me.
Have a good day.
You do the same,
Miss Purty.
- Mm-mmm-mmm.
Now, that's fine.
She's fine.
Oh, this is so fabulous.
Ain't nothin' like
gettin' together with family
and havin' a good meal.
Cletus, take this bowl.
It's hot.
Goddamn,
Sherman, it's almost like we
don't see your ass no more.
Good to see you, son.
You think you too good to
spend time with your family
every now and then?
- I've been real busy, Ernie.
- I don't want no potatoes.
Mashed potatoes give me gas.
In my day, Sherman, people used
to spend time with they family...
on Sundays
and special occasions.
Come around
and pay their respects.
You mess around and miss
little Ernie's golden years,
you're gonna be mad at yourself.
- Baby's got a little gas.
- Here she goes. Y'all
better cover your plates.
Mama, have some water.
Grandma, you spit on me.
What you talkin' about,
coverin' your plates?
Not tonight, Cletus.
- I'll kick yo' ass.
- Sherman.
I cooked all this food.
Is that all you gonna eat?
You supposed to eat that,
not scalp it.
Daddy, all the calories
in the chicken
are found in the skin.
"Where all the calories is"?
You know where that come from?
Watching that damn TV.
Every time you turn it on
somebody talkin' about
lose weight, get healthy.
Everybody lookin' all anorexic,
talkin' about that's healthy.
I know what healthy is.
And I don't know why everybody
tryin' to lose weight
in the first place!
Ain't everybody supposed
to be the same size.
We're all different.
Big, small, medium, midgets.
You supposed to have all that.
Everybody wants
to be the same size,
like that Oprah Winfrey.
She gon' lose her weight.
Wasn't nothin' wrong with her.
She was fine. Oprah was a fox!
She lose all that weight,
her head look all big.
And Luther Vandross.
N*gger used to be the black Pavarotti.
Lost all that weight,
lookin' all ashy.
Oprah and Luther need to
keep their ass one weight,
'cause I'm confused.
Yes, I hope nothin's wrong with Oprah.
