Eight to his friend.

This might be a bit easier for you.

But write it down, please, both of you.

- No, I'm good.

- You sure?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

So what's the deal with, uh,

Jonny Quest's sidekick?

- Where'd you find him?

- Craigslist.

- Oh, yeah?

- He's very good.

So what's going on?

What's so important you had to see me?

It's Reggie's mother.

You know who her baby brother is, right?

He's a senior partner

at that new firm over there on Flower.

She's got him threatening

to file a family court hearing

on custody of Eloise

unless you deal with her.

- Threatening or filing?

- Threatening, at this point.

Well, that's hilarious.

They don't know jack about family law.

They sue corporations, Rick.

They make billionaires beg.

They don't...

They don't do custody hearings.

Well, guess what, Elliott,

neither do we.

Have you thought about that?

Listen...

Do you really plan on raising this girl?

Full time?

I'm not being a dick. I'm just asking.

Are you sure you're up for this?

You know... raising a little

black girl all by yourself?

Little black... What the hell

does that mean? She's not black!

- All right? She's half black.

- All right.

She's also half white.

Which, by the way, what does that

have to do with anything?

That's the stupidest thing

you ever said to me. I expect that...

I expect that from Wee Wee, not you.

OK, well, technically,

she has just as many rights as you do.

Just enough to have it

brought up in a hearing.

So I suggest you go and talk it out with

her before she gets the state involved.

I'm telling you, Rowena's brother is

not somebody you wanna mess around with.

The guy has like six different degrees.

Well, you know how many degrees your

rectal thermometer has at home, Rick?

You know where

you put that thing? Sh*t.

These are the study papers

for the next time that we meet.

Can I go watch TV now,

since I worked on my homework?

Of course you can, but first,

say good-bye to Duvan.

- Bye, Duvan.

- Bye.

- Thank you, Elliott.

- Hey, Duvie, can I ask you something?

I know you offer a lot of services,

teach a lot of languages.

- Different skills, you know, sh*t.

- Yeah, I do.

Can you drive?

I mean, for some good money.

I'm not, um...

...capable of driving... right now.

Could you drive me around town

a little today?

Of course, I can do that.

Good. Good. Uh...

Don't tell me you've written a paper

on driving, though. Don't tell me that.

All the waiters

in your grand cafe

You do drive well, Duvan.

Thank you.

Um...

Where are we going?

South of downtown. South Central.

Have you been there?

No. No, I have not.

Probably seen it on television, though.
