THE PRONGS HAVE BEEN BEVELED
IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
OH, CHECK THAT OUT.

MM‐HMM. THEN, TO CELEBRATE
WE GOING TO TAKE
A CARRIAGE RIDE.

TO SHOW THAT OUR
RELATIONSHIP... COME ON.

COUCH TO DROOL ON?
THE ELBOW LADIES WILL

GREETINGS, CHESTY SPITFIRE.
HEY, SYNCLAIRE.
HELLO.
HELLO, ANGRY WOMAN
WHO NEVER SEEMS TO LEAVE.
WHAT'S UP, DOG?
WHERE'S KHADIJAH?
SHE'S IN THE KITCHEN,
LEAVING ME ALONE.
WHY DON'T YOU JOIN HER, HMM?
RUSSELL, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?
WELL, I WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
AND WE'RE BEING SUED FOR LIBEL.
WHAT?
REMEMBER MY ARTICLE ON
THAT NEW BAND, BELCHING YAMS?
I WROTE THERE COULD
BE NO DENYING THEIR SONG
"EVERYBODY HAS A NIPPLE"
WAS A RIP OFF OF BARRY
MANILOW'S "MANDY."
WELL, IT SEEMS THERE'S
SOME DENYING IT.
WELL, HOW MUCH DO THEY WANT?
ONLY A COUPLE OF MILLION.
WE'RE IN TROUBLE, EH?
YEAH.
WE GOING TO NEED
BOOTS FOR WHAT WE'RE IN.
WELL, ON THE UP SIDE
NEXT YEAR YOUR TAXES
WILL BE WAY DOWN.
CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?
CAN I GET YOU SOME‐TING?
CAN I GETCHA SOMETHIN'?
YEAH, TWO MILLION DOLLARS.
HEY, HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
THAT'S DENIRO'S LINE.
YOU BEEN READING MY SCRIPT?
OOH!
OR MAYBE I'M JUST THAT GOOD.
LADIES... WELCOME
TO MY HUMBLE ABODE.
AND NOW, WITHOUT FURTHER
ADO, OUR PRESIDENT, KAREN O'NEAL.
Synclaire: YAY! WHOO!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
FIRST, A HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS
ON OUR ANTI‐DRINKING CAMPAIGN.
I THINK WE MADE A REAL IMPACT
AT PUBLIC SCHOOL
762 WITH OUR SLOGAN:
"ALCOHOL IS LOADED
WITH EMPTY CALORIES."
WHAT WAS THE NAME OF
THE PROGRAM, "SCARED THIN"?
OH, NO!
YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE HER.
SHE'S A HOMELESS PERSON
TO WHOM I'VE GIVEN A HOT MEAL.
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
WHAT... IS... YOUR... PROBLEM?
MAXINE SHAW, PUBLIC DEFENDER.
OH, SO YOU'RE A PUBLIC SERVANT
MUCH LIKE US ELBOWS.
YES, WELL
SHE DECIDED TO ATTEND
THE MEETING INCOGNITO.
SHE'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE MANY
CITY HALL INSIDERS
WITH WHOM I HOBNOB.
THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW‐‐
THE BOROUGH ALDERMAN
ELECTIONS ARE NEXT MONTH
AND THE INCUMBENT,
PAUL MALABA...
HAS BEEN A DISASTER.
HIS BOROUGH COUNCIL
ATTENDANCE RECORD IS HORRENDOUS
AND THAT COMB‐OVER‐‐
I MEAN, JUST BE BALD.
HIS ATTENDANCE RECORD?
WELL, WHAT ABOUT HIS
TIES TO ORGANIZED CRIME
AND HIS RECORD OF BRIBE TAKING?
HIS LAST CAMPAIGN SLOGAN WAS,
"VOTE FOR ME. I'M A GOODFELLA."
OH, WELL, MAXINE,
YOU SEEM TO HAVE
A REAL GRASP OF THE ISSUES
AND TAKING A SERIOUS
STAND IS IN THESE DAYS.
HAVE YOU, UH, EVER
CONSIDERED RUNNING?
WHO? ME?
MM‐HMM.
WELL, NO, NO, NO.
YOU SEE, MAXINE
HERE IS FAR TOO BUSY
PROTECTING THE RIGHTS
OF SOCIETY'S DREGS.
NOW, HOLD UP, HOLD UP THERE.
THIS SOUNDS KIND OF INTRIGUING.
WELL, YOU WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE
THE FULL BACKING OF THE ELBOWS.
ALL THE ELBOWS?
OH, AND I CAN BE HER
CAMPAIGN MANAGER.
OH, SURE, SEE, WITH THE SAME
EFFICIENCY AND CREATIVITY
THAT I BRING TO THE SOAP‐‐
SOMETHING I'M SURE YOUR
HUSBAND IS OR SHOULD BE AWARE OF‐‐
I CAN ALSO BRING
THAT TO THIS RACE.
WELL, WHATEVER.
MAX, WILL YOU CARRY THE
TORCH OF DEMOCRACY FOR US?
SURE. I MEAN... MAX. MAX.
MAX, MAX, MAX... AND REGINE.
AND REGINE.
MAX! MAX!
MAX!
HEY.
HOW DID RUSSELL'S DEPOSITION GO?
HE'S STILL THERE TRYING
TO CONVINCE THEM
HE CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
Regine: WHOO‐WHOO!
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
YOU AND OBIE CELEBRATING
AGAIN OVER AT IKEA'S CAFETERIA?
HELLO, REGISTERED VOTERS.
OOH! VA‐VA‐VA VOOM, BABY!
I TRY.
BUTTONS AND LEAFLETS?
MAX, YOU SHOULD HAVE
RUN THIS STUFF BY ME FIRST.
"VOTE FOR SHAW.
RIDE THE MAVERICK."
ARE YOU REALLY SERIOUS
ABOUT RUNNING FOR OFFICE?
DAMN SKIPPY.
YOU KNOW I PLAN TO SIT
ON THE SUPREME COURT
BY THE TIME I'M 40.
THIS IS MY FIRST STEP
AND I WON'T BLOW IT.
I'VE EVEN STARTED BUYING
MY TOYS THROUGH A CATALOG
TO MAKE MY FREAKY A
LITTLE BIT MORE SNEAKY.
♪ TA‐DAH. ♪
YOU LOOK STUNNING,
MY ANNIVERSARY ANGEL.
SO DO YOU, MY
COMMEMORATIVE CATCH.
YOU KNOW, YOU TWO KIDS, YOU...
YOU LOOK WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU.
OH, HE, UH, JUST GOT FINISHED
WATCHING THAT NEW
BOYZ‐TO‐MEN VIDEO.
HE'S, UH, A LITTLE ON
THE EMOTIONAL SIDE.
COME HERE.
WHAT? WHAT?
YOU GOT THE RING, MAN?
RIGHT HERE, MAN.
OH, DAMN.
WHAT?
FORGOT TO GET
THAT DAFFODIL‐DAISY
CORSAGE I ORDERED.
LOOK, MY CAR IS RIGHT OUTSIDE.
IF YOU PROMISE NOT
TO TOUCH MY RADIO
I'LL TAKE YOU.
OKAY.
LOOK HERE, MAMA.
I GOT TO GO MAKE A RUN,
BUT I'LL BE RIGHT BACK
SO DON'T CHANGE A HAIR FOR ME.
NOT EVEN ON YOUR TOES.
OH. GOT IT. GOT IT.
HELLO?
OH, YEAH, SHE'S RIGHT HERE
AND REMEMBER TO
VOTE FOR MAXINE SHAW
THE CANDIDATE WITH CHUTZPAH.
I'M GOING FOR
BROAD‐BASED APPEAL.
HELLO?
REALLY?
RIGHT NOW?
WELL, I CAN'T COME RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE A VERY SPECIAL
EVENING PLANNED.
OH, I SEE.
UM...
THEY CHANGED THE
SCHEDULE ON THE MOVIE
AND THEY WANT ME
ON THE SET RIGHT NOW.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
GIRL, PLEASE, YOU NEED TO GO.
SYNCLAIRE, THIS
MOVIE THING COULD BE
A ONCE‐IN‐A‐LIFETIME
OPPORTUNITY.
BUT OBIE SEEMED AWFULLY
EXCITED ABOUT TONIGHT.
YEAH, BUT IF HE WERE HERE
HE WOULD WANT YOU
TO GO FOR YOURS, GIRL.
HE WAS THE ONE WHO WENT DOWN
TO THE MEDICAL SUPPLY STORE
AND BOUGHT THAT SKULL
SO YOU COULD PLAY HAMLET.
ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE
RIGHT... I THINK.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. YOU'RE
RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO GO.
JUST TELL HIM I'M SORRY.
OKAY, BYE.
ALL RIGHT, NOW, MAX
I HAVE BEEN HIP‐DEEP
IN COLOR ANALYSIS.
NOW, THE RED SAYS THAT
YOU WANT TO STOP CRIME
THIS YELLOW SAYS THAT
YOU ARE A CAUTIOUS SPENDER
AND THE GREEN SAYS
THAT YOU ARE A GO‐GETTER.
IF YOU WEAR ANY
ONE OF THESE SHADES
AT YOUR FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE
HONEY, YOU WILL BE
DRESSED TO ELECT.
IT'S TOO LATE.
I'VE ALREADY HAD MY
FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE
THIS AFTERNOON.
OH, MY... MAX...
WHAT DID YOU WEAR?
THIS.
OH, GOD.
THE BLOUSE SAYS YOU'RE
IN FAVOR OF ACID RAIN.
THE SKIRT SAYS
MORE GUNS IN SCHOOL
AND THE SHOES SAY YOU'RE BLIND.
♪ OBIE, DOBIE, DOO. ♪
WHERE'S SYNCLAIRE?
SHE GOT CALLED
AWAY TO THE MOVIE SET.
OH. SHE SAYS SHE'S SORRY.
NOT HALF AS SORRY AS I AM.
TONIGHT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE SPECIAL.
WELL, IT STILL CAN BE.
HEY, HEY, LOOK. LOOK AT ME.
I'M, I'M SITTING HERE MAILING
CAMPAIGN BROCHURES.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN
HELP ME LICK ENVELOPES.
YEAH, I WOULD, BUT, UH...
ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY
MOUTH SEEMS KIND OF DRY.
COME ON, OVERTON ENJOY
YOUR PREPAID CAVIAR.
I KNOW I AM.
YOU JUST NEED TO
PUT THIS WHOLE THING
OUT OF YOUR MIND.
WHAT I'M TRYING
TO SAY IS, PEGGY,
WILL YOU BE MY WIFE?
OF COURSE I WILL.
OH!
I AM SO GLAD I LEFT WORK
AND CAME HERE FOR
THE SURPRISE OF MY LIFE.
OVERTON... OBIE?
SEE?
SYNCLAIRE, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I TOLD MR. DENIRO THAT
IT WAS OUR ANNIVERSARY
AND HE INSISTED THAT HIS
DRIVER BRING ME TO YOU.
BUT I DIDN'T TELL YOU
WHERE WE WERE DINING.
YOU TOLD ME TO BRING DRAMAMINE.
I FIGURED IT WAS EITHER HERE
OR THE STATEN ISLAND
BREAKFAST BARGE.
LUCKILY I CAME HERE FIRST.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, YOU TWO KIDS HAVE
A LOVELY EVENING, OKAY?
AND THE NEXT BOTTLE IS ON ME.
DOMESTIC.
HEY, REGINE, I'M ON MY
WAY TO THE BATHROOM.
WHAT COLOR PANTS SHOULD I WEAR?
HERE IT IS‐‐
THE BELCHING YAMS CD.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
I'M PRAYING I HEAR
BARRY MANILOW.
♪ Ouch, ouch, I just
dropped my couch ♪
♪ Ouch, ouch, I have
rocks in my pouch ♪
♪ But you hurt
me more, girl... ♪
KIND OF SOUNDED
LIKE "MANDY," RIGHT?
YOU KNOW, SYNCLAIRE
SINCE THE FLAMING
FRIGATE SOUFFLE
TAKES 20 MINUTES TO PREPARE
IT GIVES ME TIME
TO TELL YOU THIS.
UM... I THINK IT WAS FATE
THAT BROUGHT US
TOGETHER FOUR YEARS AGO
AND UM... I THINK IT'S FATE
THAT WE SHOULD
SPEND THE REST... OH! OH!
YO, WAITER‐‐
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?
NO DANGER THERE, MATEY.
JUST THE BILGE PUMP BACKING UP
BUT THE REPAIRMAN'S
DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW.
ARRR.
IT SHOULD BE FIXED IN NO TIME.
ARRRR.
OKAY, MAYBE A LITTLE TIME.
WELL, OBIE, MAYBE WE SHOULD GO.
NO. WE'RE NOT
SCHEDULED TO LEAVE YET.
BESIDES, YOUR FRIGATE
HASN'T GOT HERE YET.
SHOOT, BABY GIRL
LET'S JUST FLOAT
UP ON OUT OF HERE.
YEAH, I THINK WE SHOULD GO.
OH.
RUSSELL‐‐
HOW'D THE DEPOSITION GO?
NOT WELL.
WHEN I OFFERED THEM A CASH GIFT
THEY BECAME OUTRAGED.
ME THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA.
LET'S TALK IN PRIVATE. COME ON.
REGINE, REGINE, WHAT
ABOUT MY PRESS CONFERENCE?
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION... DIRT...
REGINE, GET THE
HELL OUT OF HERE.
IF YOU THINK THAT
I AM GOING TO LET
A LAYER OF GRIME
FESTER ON THESE APPLES
WELL, YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN.
WHAT DID OUR LAWYER SAY?
AFTER HE DRIED HIS EYES
HE APOLOGIZED TO
THE COURT REPORTER
FOR HAVING A WEAK CASE
AND ASKED IF HE COULD
HAVE HIS CHECK NOW.
KHADIJAH, I'M TRULY SORRY.
OH, FORGET IT, RUSSELL.
I'VE BEEN HOLDING THIS
MAGAZINE TOGETHER WITH SPIT
FOR THREE YEARS.
IT WAS BOUND TO
GIVE SOONER OR LATER.
YOU BETTER START THINKING
ABOUT THE FAREWELL
ISSUE OF FLAVOR.
I AM LOWER THAN A MOLD
ON A ROTTING BREADFRUIT.
COME ON, NOW, RUSSELL
DON'T YOU START BLAMING
THIS ALL ON YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW, IT TAKES
A LOT OF PEOPLE
TO MAKE A MISTAKE THIS BIG.
BUT THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT
IS MY RESPONSIBILITY, REGINE.
JUST "REGINE"?
NO MENTION OF MY CHEST
AND SULLEN ATTITUDE?
REGINE, YOU MIGHT AS
WELL KNOW THE TRUTH.
THE BRASH, WITTY REGGAE
RAGAMUFFIN YOU USUALLY SEE
IS JUST A COVER UP FOR
A SCREW‐UP OF A MAN.
NOW COME ON, RUSSELL.
JUST STOP BEATING YOURSELF
UP OVER THIS, ALL RIGHT?
NOW, YOU GOT TO FOCUS ON THE
ON YOUR GOOD POINTS.
YOU KNOW, FOCUS ON THINGS LIKE
WHAT GOOD TASTE
YOU HAVE IN WOMEN.
YOU DELICATE FLOWER.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CARED.
HEY!
WHAT ARE YOU...?
WHAT ARE YOU...?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
I HAVE A MAN AND WE'RE,
WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO OVERWHELM YOU.
SEE YOU SOON...
BUXOM ENCHANTRESS.
Thanks, Berl.
I guess it's no easy job
keeping up with
the nonstop antics
of Julia Roberts.
In local politics
the usually dull Brooklyn
borough alderman campaign
is heating up.
HERE IT IS.
Candidate Maxine Shaw
is a newcomer to politics
but apparently not to scandal.
The incumbent, Paul Malaba
claims Miss Shaw
had an illicit affair
with a 17‐year‐old
boy from New Jersey.
HE TOLD ME HE WAS 19.
Malaba also
claims that last year
Shaw was charged
with indecent exposure.
OH, HOW DARE HE!
OH, MY GOD.
I WAS SWIMMING AT A NUDE BEACH
WHEN A BIG WAVE WASHED ME ASHORE
AT A RETIREMENT VILLAGE.
MAX, MAX, MAX, MAX.
LOOK, RELAX, RELAX.
THIS WHOLE THING WILL BLOW OVER
BY TOMORROW, I'M TELLING YOU.
After this, we'll have
more on Maxine Shaw
the so‐called "Nympho Candidate"
and her steamy
ties to Kyle Barker
a rising Wall Street
funds manager.
OH, OVERTON, THIS
IS SO ROMANTIC.
AND THE VIEW‐‐
YOU KNOW, PAST THE
HORSE‐‐ IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
UM, SYNCLAIRE, SOMETHING I'VE
BEEN WANTING TO
ASK YOU ALL NIGHT.
DAMN.
RIDE'S OVER.
ENJOY THE PARK.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE HARNESS FELL APART.
YOU PAY $50 FOR SOMETHING
YOU THINK IT WOULD LAST
FOR MORE THAN 32 YEARS.
WELL, GUESS I'LL
TAKE A LITTLE LOOK.
COME ON, MAN!
GIVE ME ALL YOUR VALUABLE STUFF
OR YOUR DEAD!
OVERTON, GIVE THAT
MAN ANYTHING HE WANTS.
STOP YELLING, LADY.
MY HEAD HURTS.
BE COOL, MAN.
HERE, HERE. YOU GOT IT.
YOU GOT IT.
CLEVELAND CAVALIER CUFF LINKS?
DOES EVERYBODY IN NEW YORK
HAVE A PAIR OF THESE TONIGHT?
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
I MAY TAKE LITHIUM
BUT I KNOW WHEN SOMEONE'S
HOLDING OUT ON ME.
COME HERE.
DO YOU WORK OUT?
YOU'RE PRETTY CUT.
GIVE IT TO ME.
THANKS, BROTHER.
WHOO!
OH, MY GOD. OBIE, ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
MAN, YOU HANDLED
THAT BEAUTIFULLY.
I USUALLY GET
KICKED IN THE CROTCH.
COME IN, DISPATCH.
GOT A CODE 42.
PASSENGERS OKAY. CROTCH IS FINE.
HELP IS ON THE WAY.
THEN THERE'S
SOMETHING I GOT TO DO.
COME ON.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK, SYNCLAIRE.
OBIE, THEY'RE ONLY THINGS.
THEY HAVE NO MEANING‐‐
AND YOU ALWAYS SAID
THE CAVALIERS SUCK.
NO, I AIN'T GOING
OUT LIKE THAT, BABY
'CAUSE THERE'S
MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
MUCH MORE.
JUST REMEMBER
THAT, UM... I LOVE YOU.
COME ON, GIRL.
I LOVE YOU TOO.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
And here are mug shots
of the candidate and
her financial flame
moments after
they were thrown out
of a Brian McKnight concert
for disorderly conduct.
OH, THIS IS TRULY
MY LOWEST MOMENT.
And this just in‐‐.
Channel 6 has gotten
hold of an exclusive video
of Maxine Shaw
with a male stripper.
Max: Officer, do you have
a license to carry that?
Ooh, Officer Goodbody,
frisk me! Frisk me!
KYLE! HEY! GET IN HERE QUICK!
WHAT? WHAT? MAX!
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
COULD YOU TWO STAND
OVER BY THE WINDOW
FOR ME, PLEASE?
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN
FIT IN THE LIVING ROOM.
REGINE, YOU CALL
ME LIKE THAT AGAIN
AND YOU HAIR HAD
BETTER BE ON FIRE!
IN FACT, LET'S TRY A
DRY RUN RIGHT NOW.
WAIT. WAIT A MINUTE.
I THINK I KNOW WHY THE
LITTLE ONE IS BELLOWING.
YOU'RE HOSTING
THAT MEETING TONIGHT
FOR THE GROUP YOU JOINED, RIGHT?
WHAT IS IT CALLED?
PEABO? BOBO? DUMBO?
VERY FUNNY, VERY FUNNY.
IT'S CALLED "ELBOW" ‐‐
ENTERPRISING LADIES

THINKS WEARING VERSACE
IS THE BEST WAY TO

SOMETHING I'M SURE YOUR
HUSBAND IS OR SHOULD BE AWARE OF‐‐
I CAN ALSO BRING
THAT TO THIS RACE.
WELL, WHATEVER.
MAX, WILL YOU CARRY THE
TORCH OF DEMOCRACY FOR US?
SURE. I MEAN... MAX. MAX.
MAX, MAX, MAX... AND REGINE.
AND REGINE.
MAX! MAX!
MAX!
HEY.
HOW DID RUSSELL'S DEPOSITION GO?
HE'S STILL THERE TRYING
TO CONVINCE THEM
HE CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
Regine: WHOO‐WHOO!
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
YOU AND OBIE CELEBRATING
AGAIN OVER AT IKEA'S CAFETERIA?
HELLO, REGISTERED VOTERS.
OOH! VA‐VA‐VA VOOM, BABY!
I TRY.
BUTTONS AND LEAFLETS?
MAX, YOU SHOULD HAVE
RUN THIS STUFF BY ME FIRST.
"VOTE FOR SHAW.
RIDE THE MAVERICK."
ARE YOU REALLY SERIOUS
ABOUT RUNNING FOR OFFICE?
DAMN SKIPPY.
YOU KNOW I PLAN TO SIT
ON THE SUPREME COURT
BY THE TIME I'M 40.
THIS IS MY FIRST STEP
AND I WON'T BLOW IT.
I'VE EVEN STARTED BUYING
MY TOYS THROUGH A CATALOG
TO MAKE MY FREAKY A
LITTLE BIT MORE SNEAKY.
♪ TA‐DAH. ♪
YOU LOOK STUNNING,
MY ANNIVERSARY ANGEL.
SO DO YOU, MY
COMMEMORATIVE CATCH.
YOU KNOW, YOU TWO KIDS, YOU...
YOU LOOK WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU.
OH, HE, UH, JUST GOT FINISHED
WATCHING THAT NEW
BOYZ‐TO‐MEN VIDEO.
HE'S, UH, A LITTLE ON
THE EMOTIONAL SIDE.
COME HERE.
WHAT? WHAT?
YOU GOT THE RING, MAN?
RIGHT HERE, MAN.
OH, DAMN.
WHAT?
FORGOT TO GET
THAT DAFFODIL‐DAISY
CORSAGE I ORDERED.
LOOK, MY CAR IS RIGHT OUTSIDE.
IF YOU PROMISE NOT
TO TOUCH MY RADIO
I'LL TAKE YOU.
OKAY.
LOOK HERE, MAMA.
I GOT TO GO MAKE A RUN,
BUT I'LL BE RIGHT BACK
SO DON'T CHANGE A HAIR FOR ME.
NOT EVEN ON YOUR TOES.
OH. GOT IT. GOT IT.

VOTE FOR MAXINE SHAW
THE CANDIDATE WITH CHUTZPAH.
I'M GOING FOR
BROAD‐BASED APPEAL.
HELLO?

WELL, I CAN'T COME RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE A VERY SPECIAL
EVENING PLANNED.
OH, I SEE.
UM...
THEY CHANGED THE
SCHEDULE ON THE MOVIE
AND THEY WANT ME
ON THE SET RIGHT NOW.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
GIRL, PLEASE, YOU NEED TO GO.
SYNCLAIRE, THIS
MOVIE THING COULD BE
A ONCE‐IN‐A‐LIFETIME
OPPORTUNITY.
BUT OBIE SEEMED AWFULLY
EXCITED ABOUT TONIGHT.
YEAH, BUT IF HE WERE HERE
HE WOULD WANT YOU
TO GO FOR YOURS, GIRL.
HE WAS THE ONE WHO WENT DOWN
TO THE MEDICAL SUPPLY STORE
AND BOUGHT THAT SKULL
SO YOU COULD PLAY HAMLET.
ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE
RIGHT... I THINK.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. YOU'RE
RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO GO.
JUST TELL HIM I'M SORRY.
OKAY, BYE.
ALL RIGHT, NOW, MAX
I HAVE BEEN HIP‐DEEP
IN COLOR ANALYSIS.
NOW, THE RED SAYS THAT
YOU WANT TO STOP CRIME
THIS YELLOW SAYS THAT
YOU ARE A CAUTIOUS SPENDER
AND THE GREEN SAYS
THAT YOU ARE A GO‐GETTER.
IF YOU WEAR ANY
ONE OF THESE SHADES
AT YOUR FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE
HONEY, YOU WILL BE
DRESSED TO ELECT.
IT'S TOO LATE.
I'VE ALREADY HAD MY
FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE
THIS AFTERNOON.
OH, MY... MAX...
WHAT DID YOU WEAR?
THIS.
OH, GOD.
THE BLOUSE SAYS YOU'RE
IN FAVOR OF ACID RAIN.
THE SKIRT SAYS
MORE GUNS IN SCHOOL
AND THE SHOES SAY YOU'RE BLIND.
♪ OBIE, DOBIE, DOO. ♪
WHERE'S SYNCLAIRE?
SHE GOT CALLED
AWAY TO THE MOVIE SET.
OH. SHE SAYS SHE'S SORRY.
NOT HALF AS SORRY AS I AM.
TONIGHT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE SPECIAL.
WELL, IT STILL CAN BE.
HEY, HEY, LOOK. LOOK AT ME.
I'M, I'M SITTING HERE MAILING
CAMPAIGN BROCHURES.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN
HELP ME LICK ENVELOPES.
YEAH, I WOULD, BUT, UH...
ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY
MOUTH SEEMS KIND OF DRY.
COME ON, OVERTON ENJOY
YOUR PREPAID CAVIAR.
I KNOW I AM.
YOU JUST NEED TO
PUT THIS WHOLE THING
OUT OF YOUR MIND.
WHAT I'M TRYING
TO SAY IS, PEGGY,
WILL YOU BE MY WIFE?
OF COURSE I WILL.
OH!
I AM SO GLAD I LEFT WORK
AND CAME HERE FOR
THE SURPRISE OF MY LIFE.
OVERTON... OBIE?
SEE?
SYNCLAIRE, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I TOLD MR. DENIRO THAT
IT WAS OUR ANNIVERSARY
AND HE INSISTED THAT HIS
DRIVER BRING ME TO YOU.
BUT I DIDN'T TELL YOU
WHERE WE WERE DINING.
YOU TOLD ME TO BRING DRAMAMINE.
I FIGURED IT WAS EITHER HERE
OR THE STATEN ISLAND
BREAKFAST BARGE.
LUCKILY I CAME HERE FIRST.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, YOU TWO KIDS HAVE
A LOVELY EVENING, OKAY?
AND THE NEXT BOTTLE IS ON ME.
DOMESTIC.
HEY, REGINE, I'M ON MY
WAY TO THE BATHROOM.
WHAT COLOR PANTS SHOULD I WEAR?
HERE IT IS‐‐
THE BELCHING YAMS CD.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
I'M PRAYING I HEAR
BARRY MANILOW.
♪ Ouch, ouch, I just
dropped my couch ♪
♪ Ouch, ouch, I have
rocks in my pouch ♪
♪ But you hurt
me more, girl... ♪
KIND OF SOUNDED
LIKE "MANDY," RIGHT?
YOU KNOW, SYNCLAIRE
SINCE THE FLAMING
FRIGATE SOUFFLE
TAKES 20 MINUTES TO PREPARE
IT GIVES ME TIME
TO TELL YOU THIS.
UM... I THINK IT WAS FATE
THAT BROUGHT US
TOGETHER FOUR YEARS AGO
AND UM... I THINK IT'S FATE
THAT WE SHOULD
SPEND THE REST... OH! OH!
YO, WAITER‐‐
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?
NO DANGER THERE, MATEY.
JUST THE BILGE PUMP BACKING UP
BUT THE REPAIRMAN'S
DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW.
ARRR.
IT SHOULD BE FIXED IN NO TIME.
ARRRR.
OKAY, MAYBE A LITTLE TIME.
WELL, OBIE, MAYBE WE SHOULD GO.
NO. WE'RE NOT
SCHEDULED TO LEAVE YET.
BESIDES, YOUR FRIGATE
HASN'T GOT HERE YET.
SHOOT, BABY GIRL
LET'S JUST FLOAT
UP ON OUT OF HERE.
YEAH, I THINK WE SHOULD GO.
OH.
RUSSELL‐‐
HOW'D THE DEPOSITION GO?
NOT WELL.
WHEN I OFFERED THEM A CASH GIFT
THEY BECAME OUTRAGED.
ME THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA.
LET'S TALK IN PRIVATE. COME ON.
REGINE, REGINE, WHAT
ABOUT MY PRESS CONFERENCE?
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION... DIRT...
REGINE, GET THE
HELL OUT OF HERE.
IF YOU THINK THAT
I AM GOING TO LET
A LAYER OF GRIME
FESTER ON THESE APPLES
WELL, YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN.
WHAT DID OUR LAWYER SAY?
AFTER HE DRIED HIS EYES
HE APOLOGIZED TO
THE COURT REPORTER
FOR HAVING A WEAK CASE
AND ASKED IF HE COULD
HAVE HIS CHECK NOW.
KHADIJAH, I'M TRULY SORRY.
OH, FORGET IT, RUSSELL.
I'VE BEEN HOLDING THIS
MAGAZINE TOGETHER WITH SPIT
FOR THREE YEARS.
IT WAS BOUND TO
GIVE SOONER OR LATER.
YOU BETTER START THINKING
ABOUT THE FAREWELL
ISSUE OF FLAVOR.
I AM LOWER THAN A MOLD
ON A ROTTING BREADFRUIT.
COME ON, NOW, RUSSELL
DON'T YOU START BLAMING
THIS ALL ON YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW, IT TAKES
A LOT OF PEOPLE
TO MAKE A MISTAKE THIS BIG.
BUT THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT
IS MY RESPONSIBILITY, REGINE.
JUST "REGINE"?
NO MENTION OF MY CHEST
AND SULLEN ATTITUDE?
REGINE, YOU MIGHT AS
WELL KNOW THE TRUTH.
THE BRASH, WITTY REGGAE
RAGAMUFFIN YOU USUALLY SEE
IS JUST A COVER UP FOR
A SCREW‐UP OF A MAN.
NOW COME ON, RUSSELL.
JUST STOP BEATING YOURSELF
UP OVER THIS, ALL RIGHT?
NOW, YOU GOT TO FOCUS ON THE
ON YOUR GOOD POINTS.
YOU KNOW, FOCUS ON THINGS LIKE
WHAT GOOD TASTE
YOU HAVE IN WOMEN.
YOU DELICATE FLOWER.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CARED.
HEY!
WHAT ARE YOU...?
WHAT ARE YOU...?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
I HAVE A MAN AND WE'RE,
WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO OVERWHELM YOU.
SEE YOU SOON...
BUXOM ENCHANTRESS.
Thanks, Berl.
I guess it's no easy job
keeping up with
the nonstop antics
of Julia Roberts.
In local politics
the usually dull Brooklyn
borough alderman campaign
is heating up.
HERE IT IS.
Candidate Maxine Shaw
is a newcomer to politics
but apparently not to scandal.
The incumbent, Paul Malaba
claims Miss Shaw
had an illicit affair
with a 17‐year‐old
boy from New Jersey.
HE TOLD ME HE WAS 19.
Malaba also
claims that last year
Shaw was charged
with indecent exposure.
OH, HOW DARE HE!
OH, MY GOD.
I WAS SWIMMING AT A NUDE BEACH
WHEN A BIG WAVE WASHED ME ASHORE
AT A RETIREMENT VILLAGE.
MAX, MAX, MAX, MAX.
LOOK, RELAX, RELAX.
THIS WHOLE THING WILL BLOW OVER
BY TOMORROW, I'M TELLING YOU.
After this, we'll have
more on Maxine Shaw
the so‐called "Nympho Candidate"
and her steamy
ties to Kyle Barker
a rising Wall Street
funds manager.
OH, OVERTON, THIS
IS SO ROMANTIC.
AND THE VIEW‐‐
YOU KNOW, PAST THE
HORSE‐‐ IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
UM, SYNCLAIRE, SOMETHING I'VE
BEEN WANTING TO
ASK YOU ALL NIGHT.
DAMN.
RIDE'S OVER.
ENJOY THE PARK.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE HARNESS FELL APART.
YOU PAY $50 FOR SOMETHING
YOU THINK IT WOULD LAST
FOR MORE THAN 32 YEARS.
WELL, GUESS I'LL
TAKE A LITTLE LOOK.
COME ON, MAN!
GIVE ME ALL YOUR VALUABLE STUFF
OR YOUR DEAD!
OVERTON, GIVE THAT
MAN ANYTHING HE WANTS.
STOP YELLING, LADY.
MY HEAD HURTS.
BE COOL, MAN.
HERE, HERE. YOU GOT IT.
YOU GOT IT.
CLEVELAND CAVALIER CUFF LINKS?
DOES EVERYBODY IN NEW YORK
HAVE A PAIR OF THESE TONIGHT?
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
I MAY TAKE LITHIUM
BUT I KNOW WHEN SOMEONE'S
HOLDING OUT ON ME.
COME HERE.
DO YOU WORK OUT?
YOU'RE PRETTY CUT.
GIVE IT TO ME.
THANKS, BROTHER.
WHOO!
OH, MY GOD. OBIE, ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
MAN, YOU HANDLED
THAT BEAUTIFULLY.
I USUALLY GET
KICKED IN THE CROTCH.
COME IN, DISPATCH.
GOT A CODE 42.
PASSENGERS OKAY. CROTCH IS FINE.
HELP IS ON THE WAY.
THEN THERE'S
SOMETHING I GOT TO DO.
COME ON.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK, SYNCLAIRE.
OBIE, THEY'RE ONLY THINGS.
THEY HAVE NO MEANING‐‐
AND YOU ALWAYS SAID
THE CAVALIERS SUCK.
NO, I AIN'T GOING
OUT LIKE THAT, BABY
'CAUSE THERE'S
MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
MUCH MORE.
JUST REMEMBER
THAT, UM... I LOVE YOU.
COME ON, GIRL.
I LOVE YOU TOO.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
And here are mug shots
of the candidate and
her financial flame
moments after
they were thrown out
of a Brian McKnight concert
for disorderly conduct.
OH, THIS IS TRULY
MY LOWEST MOMENT.
And this just in‐‐.
Channel 6 has gotten
hold of an exclusive video
of Maxine Shaw
with a male stripper.
Max: Officer, do you have
a license to carry that?
Ooh, Officer Goodbody,
frisk me! Frisk me!
