a big pot of collard Greens.
669
00:52:48,207 --> 00:52:49,207
Right.
670
00:52:49,291 --> 00:52:51,156
- And I want some yams.

- I want some black-eyed peas and rice.
- Right.
672

And I want...
673
00:52:55,172 --> 00:52:58,790
And I want... I want... I want...
I want a potato pie.
674
00:52:59,134 --> 00:53:00,499
One hot dog, coming up.
675
00:53:01,595 --> 00:53:03,210
- Mustard?
- Oh, crap.
676
00:53:06,058 --> 00:53:08,845
- Hey, Reg...
- Hello, I'm from the board of health.
677
00:53:12,690 --> 00:53:15,306
Billie, you ain't missing a thing.
678
00:53:22,783 --> 00:53:27,026
I cried for you
679
00:53:28,997 --> 00:53:33,081
what a fool I used to be
680
00:53:34,169 --> 00:53:37,081
now I found two eyes
681
00:53:37,172 --> 00:53:40,255
just a little bit bluer
682
00:53:40,384 --> 00:53:42,875
I found a heart
683
00:53:42,970 --> 00:53:46,178
just a little bit truer
684
00:53:46,265 --> 00:53:50,759
and I cried for you
685
00:53:52,187 --> 00:53:57,978
now it's your turn to cry over me
686
00:54:03,115 --> 00:54:04,855
Still think it's fun, Billie?
687
00:54:07,786 --> 00:54:09,401
Watch it, will you?
688
00:54:09,580 --> 00:54:11,445
Sorry to say it's that time again.
689
00:54:11,582 --> 00:54:15,416
This has been the oasis cosmetics hour
from New York, New York,
690
00:54:15,502 --> 00:54:17,038
featuring the new mellow sounds
691
00:54:17,129 --> 00:54:19,996
of our sweet Sam
and his society swingers.
692
00:54:20,090 --> 00:54:21,250
So until tomorrow night...
693
00:54:21,341 --> 00:54:22,341
Man, did you hear that?
694
00:54:22,426 --> 00:54:23,862
- Here we go again.
- Did you hear that?
695
00:54:23,886 --> 00:54:26,753
- Yeah.
- Sweet Sam and his society sissies.
696
00:54:26,847 --> 00:54:29,054
That's supposed to be us, man.
That should be our gig.
697
00:54:29,141 --> 00:54:30,347
Do you want to be a sissy?
698
00:54:30,434 --> 00:54:34,177
Man, here we are, riding our asses off
all over this cotton-picking country,
699
00:54:34,271 --> 00:54:37,354
trying to win these Hicks over,
and what do we got to show for it?
700
00:54:37,441 --> 00:54:40,057
Zero. Nothing, man. Bullshit.
701
00:54:40,152 --> 00:54:43,895
Where is that big radio cat
that's supposed to discover us, Reg?
702
00:54:43,989 --> 00:54:45,604
Where is that son of a bitch, anyway?
703
00:54:45,699 --> 00:54:48,065
Watch your mouth.
Can't you see there's a lady present?
704
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,526
That's right.
Show some respect, you motherfucker.
705
00:54:51,497 --> 00:54:52,828
Billie.
706
00:54:57,252 --> 00:54:58,252
Who is it?
707
00:54:59,797 --> 00:55:00,912
It's Harry.
708
00:55:01,882 --> 00:55:03,793
- What do you want?
- Can I come in?
709
00:55:04,468 --> 00:55:05,674
Come on.
710
00:55:09,264 --> 00:55:11,971
Gonna be a rehearsal downstairs
in 10 minutes.
711
00:55:12,309 --> 00:55:13,799
Oh, boy.
712
00:55:15,062 --> 00:55:18,850
We got a full day off next week.
713
00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:24,310
I'll be dead by next week.
714
00:55:30,869 --> 00:55:32,780
I'm taking the night off.
715
00:55:33,580 --> 00:55:37,619
You take tonight off,
716
00:55:39,002 --> 00:55:43,291
and, sure as hell,
that'll be the night
717
00:55:44,383 --> 00:55:46,544
that Mr. network radio scout
718
00:55:46,635 --> 00:55:50,344
is sitting out front
and all the things.
719
00:55:50,430 --> 00:55:53,718
I mean, everything that we've been
doing goes right down the drain
720
00:55:53,809 --> 00:55:59,270
because, let's face it, Billie,
you are the cream in our coffee.
721
00:55:59,356 --> 00:56:01,392
You got that the wrong way around,
don't you?
722
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:04,645
We are just another band without you.
723
00:56:06,154 --> 00:56:07,189
Okay.
724
00:56:08,699 --> 00:56:11,236
Give me a shot of that bourbon
in my bag, will you?
725
00:56:15,163 --> 00:56:16,949
Well, how about a real...
726
00:56:19,418 --> 00:56:21,374
A real what?
727
00:56:21,628 --> 00:56:26,839
One shot and you'll be flying.
728
00:56:28,093 --> 00:56:30,755
Look, Harry,
like I've been telling you,
729
00:56:32,014 --> 00:56:33,800
what you do is your business.
730
00:56:34,057 --> 00:56:35,922
I may be tired, but I ain't dumb.
731
00:56:36,018 --> 00:56:38,100
You're walking across a street.
A truck hits you.
732
00:56:38,186 --> 00:56:39,247
You're laying in the street.
733
00:56:39,271 --> 00:56:41,666
They take you to the nearest hospital.
What's the first thing they do?
734
00:56:41,690 --> 00:56:45,808
They give you a shot of morphine.
Now, morphine ain't an aspirin.
735
00:56:46,445 --> 00:56:49,107
It's dope.
736
00:56:49,865 --> 00:56:52,572
