Living Single (1993–1998): Season 3, Episode 8 - He Works Hard for the Money - full transcript
So, listen, the
defender asked me.
"Are you sure that you
know what you're doing?"
And I said, "You should've
asked yourself the same question"
"when you wrote,
'This is a stick‐up'
on the back of your paster."
‐ Paster.. ‐ You're crazy! Ow!
What is LOOFA?
Well, isn't it that
children's organization
that you're involved with?
Yes, Leaders Of
Our Future America.
One week in a month,
I shape the minds
of impressionable youngsters.
I guess that's not
long enough to do any
permanent damage to them.
I have been chosen
unsung hero of the year.
This is a joke, right?
Not at all.
Last month we were
discussing our female heroes
and your name came up
right between Maya Angelou
and the pink Power Ranger.
I'm not a hero.
Say what you will,
Henrietta Humble.
But I have proof of your heroism
right here in black and white.
"July 9th, 1980, Gus
McGinty, 44 Trenton
was pooled from his flaming
car by an unknown hero."
Synclaire, I didn't
save that man's life.
‐ What? ‐ Remember?
That was the summer you
teased me about being too scared
to knock on a door to sell
those Girl Scout Cookies.
Oh, yeah! The whole troop called
you, "Khadijah‐can't‐feed‐ya."
When I saw that article
I figured I'd tell you
I was the unknown
hero. To shut you up.
You lied to me?
Well, you know, one little lie.
Well, what else
have you lied about?
Do you really know the
colonel's secret recipe?
‐ Two little lies. ‐ Ah!

To sum things up, Ms. Richards
we're recommending holdings
in blue chip and biotech.
We've made the
same recommendations
to many of your show
business colleagues.
And I'm confident that
these sectors will yield
at least a 20% return.
Splendid.
But confidence cannot buy
a first class ticket to France.
And in large doses
can be fatally boring.
You said the same
thing to Harry Belafonte
in office affairs.
She did.
Do I feel the refreshing
breeze of a fan?
Well, not a fan so
much as a connoisseur
of great performance.
I've always liked you.
What's your name?
Kyle, Kyle Barker.
Um, if we could get
back to the subject..
Darling, we never left it.
Kyle Barker.
What do you recommend?
That Lawrence is correct.
Investing in blue
chip and biotech funds
would provide relatively
risk‐free capital gains.
Not to mention some hefty
dividends that are 85% tax free.
Wow!
I have 12 million Swiss Francs
collecting dust in Geneva.
I'd like to do
something with it.
How does that sound?
That sounds like 10
million American dollars.
I like that sound.
Splendid. Well, it's settled.
But please excuse me.
I'm late for my eucalyptus
beauty flogging with Natasha.
And I love my beauty flogging.
I'll show you to the other room.
I couldn't call off
the award ceremony.
Those LOOFA kids love you.
One of them named
his parakeet Khadijah.
I'm up against a wall here.
A wall you built with
your bricks of deception.
Well, what am I supposed to do?
Ah, just take the story
that fooled Synclaire
make it a little
more believable.
Fool the kids.
Fool the kids?
Whoa, the devil's
puttin' in some overtime
up in here, ain't he?
At least take a look
at this videotape
the children made for you.
It took them two weeks
to put this together.
'Khadijah James,
you're our hero.'
'We love you. Yay.'
It took them two
weeks to make that?
Well, when you're seven
and hopped up on Pixy Stix
it takes you a little
while to get focused.
Now, Khadijah, what do you say?
Alright.
If it'll keep them off
that sugar, I'll do it.
Evening people.
Would anyone like
to know what time it is
on my new Rolex Presidential?
Whoo!
Okay, shorty, what time is it?
Who cares, man? It's
a Rolex Presidential.
Let me see.
Damn, and it's real too.
This is a congratulatory
gift to myself.
I just landed a multi‐million
dollar account today
by convincing Ms.
Jacqueline Richards
to invest with our firm.
‐ Oh‐ho, get out of here.
‐ Jacqueline Richards.
Um, who‐who is
Jacqueline Richards?
Oh, my God, I mean,
uh, she's‐she's a legend.
The Broadway
singer, dancer, actress.
She hosted the
Tony Awards last year
in an Yves Saint
Laurent original.
Overton, she was
on the Love Boat.
Remember she was
falling for that con man
and Isaac gave her advice
on the Promenade Deck?
Oh, that‐that's the one
with Sherman Hemsley
and his tour de force
performance as Slick.
‐ Now you know. ‐ Why
didn't you just say so?
Anyway, I'm delivering some
papers to her house tonight.
Delivering papers.
Is that what the kids
are calling it nowadays?
Oh, yeah, I read that Ms.
Jacqueline likes her men
young and tender.
Of which Kyle is neither.
Look, just because the
lady invited me to her house
does not mean that
she wants my body.
Despite the obvious incentives.
Oh, no, be careful, shorty.
'Cause older women can
be masters of manipulation.
Ms. Essner up in 4B asked
me up there to fix her toilet.
When I got up there, she
wanted me to jiggle little more than
just that handle, I tell ya.
Good evening, I'm Carl Barker.
Well, you must be
the stock broker.
Jacqueline's been raving about?
I'm Danny,
Jacqueline's right hand.
Please.
Jacqueline will be
with you momentarily.
Ah‐ah‐ah
the Chippendale is for
looking, not lounging.
Well..
I thought for a moment
Mel Torme had stopped by.
Ms. Richards, uh, I'm‐I'm
sorry, I just couldn't resist.
No need to apologize.
Well, what do you think?
I mean, this is incredible.
Look, there's Betty Davis
and Pearl Bailey, Frank Sinatra.
Oh, the affairs this
apartment has seen.
Now, who's the young
guy in the matador suit?
Oh, the affairs this
apartment has seen.
That's my most recent friend.
He is no friend of ours.
What would you say to
a glass of champagne?
Oh, I'm sorry, I never
drink while I do business.
And I never do
business without a drink.
Are we at an impasse?
You know, um, I was
inspired to take piano lessons
after I heard Joe Sample
accompany you on.
"Someone To Watch Over Me."
Well, let's see if the
piano lessons paid off.
♪ There's a somebody ♪
♪ I'm longing to see ♪
♪ I hope that he ♪
♪ Turns out to be ♪
♪ Someone to watch ♪
♪ Over me ♪
♪ I'm a little lamb ♪
♪ Who's lost in the wood ♪
♪ Lost in the wood ♪
♪ I know I could ♪
♪ I know I could ♪
♪ Always be good ♪
♪ To one ♪
♪ Who'll watch ♪
♪ Over me ♪
Kyle, I must ask you something.
I ca.. I.. I can't
sleep with you.
Silly, silly boy.
Oh, precious.
But frankly, darling,
you're a little old for me.
Uh, I'm‐I'm‐I'm really sorry.
I‐I don't know
what I was thinking.
Um, look, if‐if you
just sign these papers.
I‐I can be on my way.
No need to apologize.
You're not the first man
to fantasize about me.
‐ Stay. ‐ Okay.
So, um..
Wha‐what‐what did
you wanna ask me?
Sleep with me.
Gotcha!
Escort me to a
benefit ball tonight.
The mayor is raising
money to clean the graffiti
off the animals
in the Bronx Zoo.
Sure, sure, I'd love to go.
Splendid.
Then let's be on our way.
‐ Oh, Kyle. ‐ 'Mm‐hmm.'
Would you bring
me my wrap please?
Sure..
And my purse.
I have a surprise for you.
Oh, wow, a gold lighter.
I'm‐I'm sorry, I
really couldn't.
‐ I insist. ‐ But I don't smoke.
I do.
Oh, I just bought the same boa.
You saw me at the
mall, you little thief.
'No, it's..'
Doing a few favors
for Jacqueline.
It's a small price to pay
for a multi‐million
dollar account.
Don't you think?
People, people, people, people.
I have an important
announcement to make.
We like it when our
people work hard.
We like it more when
they make gobs of money.
Congratulations, Kyle. You're
the funds manager of the month.
Thank you.
Okay, kids, let's go
and make more gobs.
Oh, Kyle, your first funds
manager of the month award.
After only two years.
It's funny.
I got mine the second
month I was here.
Yes, Lawrence, they had such
high hopes for you back then.
Oh‐ho!
Guess who?
Jacqueline, this is a surprise.
Ah, Ms. Richards,
I rented your film.
"Queen Of The Kalahari."
I thought you gave the
performance of a lifetime.
That piece of celluloid trash
was the bane of my existence.
Don't dawdle, Kyle
we have reservations at
The Four Seasons for lunch.
Oh, I'm sorry, I
couldn't possibly go.
Ah, Maxine, this
is Ms. Jacqueline.
Ms. Richards, Maxine Shaw.
I have seen "Queen
Of The Kalahari"
28 times. It is
my favorite movie.
Thank you. It was mine too.
What a vivacious young lady!
‐ Are you a member
of the firm? ‐ Well‐‐.
No, actually, Maxine is my
lunch date for this afternoon.
That's why I have to
pass on The Four Seasons.
Wait, wait.
You're passin' up a four
star lunch with an icon
for a hot dog on
a bench with me?
‐ Yes, I am. ‐ Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, no, no, you go. You must go.
This young lady gets more
impressive by the moment.
Marry her, Kyle.
‐ Buon appetito. I ‐
Yeah, bye‐bye, yeah.
Four Seasons, huh?
Oh, charming ashtray.
And then there were
flames everywhere.
So I had to like pull
my shirt over my face
just to breathe
through the smoke.
If your shirt was over your face
couldn't people see your bra?
Anyway, the windows were
rolled up and the doors were locked.
So I had to climb on
top of the flaming vehicle
and pry open the sunroof.
How'd you pry open the
sunroof without a crowbar?
The end, thank you.
What happened to
our hero, Ms. Synclaire?
Doesn't she wanna
talk to us anymore?
I don't know, Jim.
I just don't know.
There just aren't
any heroes anymore.
First, we lost Darryl Strawberry
then MaCaulay Culkin.
Then Darryl Strawberry again.
‐ Now this. ‐ I
know, girl, I know.
Well, wait a minute now, I
want you to give me a chance.
I wasn't finished.
The flames danced
across the black top
like the devil's
own chorus line.
From within the car I
heard a faint cry for help.
"Little girl on the Kick 'n' Go
you're my only chance."
So with no thought
for my own safety
I reached in and I grabbed
Mr. McGinty from the inferno.
But didn't the fire
burn your hands?
Right through to the bone.
But through the miracle of
bionics, these are brand new!
Yo, for bionic hands,
they could have done
a better job on them nails.
And now, Ms. Khadijah,
our special surprise guest.
Surprise guest?
The man who owes his
life to you Mr. Gus McGinty.
Now, this is a beautiful moment.
I think I see tears of
joy in Khadijah's eyes.
Yeah, and now she's gonna
have to pull her own ass
out that fire.
I don't‐I don't
know, I don't know.
Hi, Mr. McGinty, it's
nice to see you a‐again.
Nah, I've never seen
you before in my life.
Well, obviously
Mr. McGinty is still a little
traumatized from that incident
that happened all
those years ago.
Now, work with me, man.
Don't you remember
what I said to you
just before I pulled
you from the flames?
Everything's gonna be okay.
It was you! God bless you.
Oh, Kyle.
You look almost
as swell as I will.
Uh, excuse me, but I
assumed an art auction
at Sotheby's would
be a tad more formal.
Oh, your instincts
serve you well.
Actually, the auction will not
start for another two hours.
And I need someone to walk
my poodles, Miles and Dizzy.
Is that what I think it is?
It's a shovel of sorts.
Oh, by the way, Miles
was neutered on Thursday
and he's a bit snippy.
With all due respect, Jacqueline
for the past week I
have escorted you
to various functions
silently inhaling your
secondhand smoke.
I have even blocked your bower
and now you want me to scoop
the poop of a neutered poodle?
This must end.
Well, the night has
taken an ugly turn.
Jacqueline, there are some
things that I am willing to do
for a $10 million account.
And as I'm
discovering right now..
Some things that I am not.
I thought we were friends.
No, I don't think you know
what it is to be a friend.
Nobody has spoken
to me like that
since Cosby refused to
snake my kitchen sink.
Uh..
If I ever asked you
to do something
you thought was
beneath you, I apologize.
Apology accepted.
And if it seemed that at
times I have been manipulative
well, it's because
through the years
I have found people have
been more loyal to my money
than they were to me.
Jacqueline, that's
not the way I work.
Look, I really wouldn't mind
doing some things for you
but out of friendship, not
because you're wealthy.
I'm speechless.
There's only one thing to do.
If we're going to be friends
I am divesting my
money from your firm.
Uh, let us discuss the
parameters of our friendship
shall we?
If you take your
money from my firm
I will be in big trouble.
Now, is that friendly?
Alright, Kyle.
I'll keep the account
open for you.
Thank you.
‐ Question. ‐ Huh?
Would a friend join a
friend in walking her dogs?
Certainement.
But I am not scooping.
A friend would.
Yeah, well, did Mr. Cosby?
Tempestt Bledsoe did.
Well, let's call her.
Don't go away,
we'll be right back.
So, I'm sorry I led you to
believe I saved your life.
When I saw those
worshipping eyes staring at me
there's no way I could've
let those kids down.
It takes a big person
to admit they lied.
Ah, we all make mistakes.
I shouldn't have been
shaving and driving.
Well, I tell you what,
first thing tomorrow
I'm gonna call each of those
kids and set things straight.
Good for you.
Eh, could you leave the
shaving thing out of it?
You okay? Are you..
Oh, my goodness!
My God, you saved my life!
Synclaire, I saved his life.
Yes, Khadijah. You did.
No, no, for real. For real.
Tell her, Mr. McGinty.
She did.
Sure, sure.
No, for real, I
did. I'll show you.
Swallow this.
Woo‐hoo!
defender asked me.
"Are you sure that you
know what you're doing?"
And I said, "You should've
asked yourself the same question"
"when you wrote,
'This is a stick‐up'
on the back of your paster."
‐ Paster.. ‐ You're crazy! Ow!

Okay, kids, let's go

Oh, Kyle, your first funds

After only two years.
It's funny.
I got mine the second
month I was here.
Yes, Lawrence, they had such
high hopes for you back then.
Oh‐ho!

Jacqueline, this is a surprise.

we have reservations at

Oh, I'm sorry, I

Ah, Maxine, this
is Ms. Jacqueline.
Ms. Richards, Maxine Shaw.
I have seen "Queen
Of The Kalahari"
28 times. It is
my favorite movie.
Thank you. It was mine too.
What a vivacious young lady!
‐ Are you a member
of the firm? ‐ Well‐‐.
No, actually, Maxine is my

That's why I have to

Oh, no, no, you go. You must go.

Yeah, bye‐bye, yeah.

Oh, charming ashtray.

Doesn't she wanna
talk to us anymore?
I don't know, Jim.
I just don't know.
There just aren't
any heroes anymore.
First, we lost Darryl Strawberry
then MaCaulay Culkin.
Then Darryl Strawberry again.
‐ Now this. ‐ I
know, girl, I know.
Well, wait a minute now, I
want you to give me a chance.
I wasn't finished.
The flames danced
across the black top
like the devil's
own chorus line.
From within the car I
heard a faint cry for help.
"Little girl on the Kick 'n' Go
you're my only chance."
So with no thought
for my own safety
I reached in and I grabbed
Mr. McGinty from the inferno.
But didn't the fire
burn your hands?
Right through to the bone.
But through the miracle of
bionics, these are brand new!
Yo, for bionic hands,
they could have done
a better job on them nails.
And now, Ms. Khadijah,
our special surprise guest.
Surprise guest?
The man who owes his
life to you Mr. Gus McGinty.
Now, this is a beautiful moment.
I think I see tears of
joy in Khadijah's eyes.
Yeah, and now she's gonna
have to pull her own ass
out that fire.
I don't‐I don't
know, I don't know.
Hi, Mr. McGinty, it's
nice to see you a‐again.
Nah, I've never seen
you before in my life.
Well, obviously
Mr. McGinty is still a little
traumatized from that incident
that happened all
those years ago.
Now, work with me, man.
Don't you remember
what I said to you
just before I pulled
you from the flames?
Everything's gonna be okay.
It was you! God bless you.
Oh, Kyle.
You look almost
as swell as I will.
Uh, excuse me, but I
assumed an art auction
at Sotheby's would
be a tad more formal.
Oh, your instincts
serve you well.
Actually, the auction will not
start for another two hours.
And I need someone to walk
my poodles, Miles and Dizzy.
Is that what I think it is?
It's a shovel of sorts.
Oh, by the way, Miles
was neutered on Thursday
and he's a bit snippy.
With all due respect, Jacqueline
for the past week I
have escorted you
to various functions
silently inhaling your
secondhand smoke.
I have even blocked your bower
and now you want me to scoop
the poop of a neutered poodle?
This must end.
Well, the night has
taken an ugly turn.
Jacqueline, there are some
things that I am willing to do
for a $10 million account.
And as I'm
discovering right now..
Some things that I am not.
I thought we were friends.
No, I don't think you know
what it is to be a friend.
Nobody has spoken
to me like that
since Cosby refused to
snake my kitchen sink.
Uh..
If I ever asked you
to do something
you thought was
beneath you, I apologize.
Apology accepted.
And if it seemed that at
times I have been manipulative
well, it's because
through the years
I have found people have
been more loyal to my money
than they were to me.
Jacqueline, that's
not the way I work.
Look, I really wouldn't mind
doing some things for you
but out of friendship, not
because you're wealthy.
I'm speechless.
There's only one thing to do.
If we're going to be friends
I am divesting my
money from your firm.
Uh, let us discuss the
parameters of our friendship
shall we?
If you take your
money from my firm
I will be in big trouble.
Now, is that friendly?
Alright, Kyle.
I'll keep the account
open for you.
Thank you.
‐ Question. ‐ Huh?
Would a friend join a
friend in walking her dogs?
Certainement.
But I am not scooping.
A friend would.
Yeah, well, did Mr. Cosby?
Tempestt Bledsoe did.
Well, let's call her.
Don't go away,
we'll be right back.
So, I'm sorry I led you to
believe I saved your life.
When I saw those
worshipping eyes staring at me
there's no way I could've
let those kids down.
It takes a big person
to admit they lied.
Ah, we all make mistakes.
I shouldn't have been
shaving and driving.
Well, I tell you what,
first thing tomorrow
I'm gonna call each of those
kids and set things straight.
Good for you.
Eh, could you leave the
shaving thing out of it?
You okay? Are you..
Oh, my goodness!
My God, you saved my life!
Synclaire, I saved his life.
Yes, Khadijah. You did.
No, no, for real. For real.
Tell her, Mr. McGinty.
She did.
Sure, sure.
No, for real, I
did. I'll show you.
Swallow this.
Woo‐hoo!
