Hey! How y'all doin'?

It's me... Benita Butrell.
Mm-hmm.

I'm just here gettin'
my annual checkup.

Oh, don't worry about me,
'cause I'm the picture of health.

That's 'cause I start off every day
with a big glass of prune juice.

Mm-hmm. Miss Benita's got more
movements than Beethoven's fifth symphony.

Well, lookee here.
If it ain't Gretchen Kabunkie.

Hey, girl, I don't know why you're here.
You're in perfect health.

You got a figure
any woman would die for.

That's 'cause if they had a figure like that,
they'd k*ll themselves.

That woman's so skinny, they had
to tie knots in her legs to make knees.

Mm-hmm.
People in Somalia are sending her food.

But I ain't one to gossip,
so you ain't heard that from me.

Well, lookee here.
It's Dr. Fletcher.

How you doin', Dr. Fletcher?
What a wonderful doctor you are.

You got the best practice
in the entire world.

Malpractice, that is.
Mm-hmm.

He's made more vegetables
than theJolly Green Giant.

The man's so mean, he gives
a rectal exam with a Freddy Krueger glove.

Why, lookee here.
If it ain't Mr. Fisher.

Mr. Fisher,
I'm sorry to see you in pain.

Oh, boy. I know your wife must be
besides herself. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

That's 'cause she caught him
sleepin' with someone besides herself.

That man wears a steel-belted condom.
Mm-hmm.

Last time she caught him cheatin',
she messed up his face so bad...

it looked like you oughta
dip some Doritos in it.

Oh, here comes Jan Young
and her brand-new bundle.

Let me get a peek at
the precious little thing.

Oh, he's cute as a bug in a rug.

More like a maggot in a diaper.

They can't let that baby play in the sandbox,
'cause the cat keeps burying it.

Oh, Miss Abbot, look at you.

You still got your jaws wired shut?

Ooh, I really admire that.
You got a whole lot of guts.

Got a whole lot of guts,
a whole lot of butts, and a whole lot of chins.

Mm-hmm.
If she's on a liquid diet...

that woman must
be juicin' Bundt cakes.

She's so fat, after sex,
she smokes a turkey.

Doctor! Doctor, come quick!
My-My grandmother!

What's happenin'? What's happenin'?
Who is it?

I think she passed out.
That's Miss Jenkins from the Hopkins projects.

[Screaming]

Oh, Lord! Oh, no!
Don't let nothin' happen to Miss Jenkins!

Oh, don't let nothin' happen to Miss Jenkins!
Take me! Take me! Take me!

No, you don't wanna
take her now! Oh!

Look, I think she'll be all right.
Let's get her to the hospital.

- Come on.
- Oh!

Whew! Whew!
We almost lost Miss Jenkins, honey.

That was a close shave.
Oh!

And, speaking of close shaves,
she could use one.

That woman's got so much facial hair,
she looks like Chewbacca with a weave.

But I ain't one to gossip,
so you ain't heard that from me.

Hi. I'm Amy Fisher.
You know, the Long Island Lolita.

- And this is Joey Buttafuoco over here.
- Hey!

Joey Buttafuoco over here!

Hey, girls, are you a whore?
Are you good with a handgun?

Do you like to have sex in a car?

Are you as dumb as dip,
but you still wanna make a lot of money?

Then take Amy's special
Bang For Your Bucks seminar.

- Tell 'em, princess.
- Three simple steps.

One, you get yourself
a really sexy guy.

Hey. Joey Buttafuoco over here.

But to land yourself
a really sexy guy...

first you gotta get yourself
a whole lot of hair.

Anything less than two feet
ain't really sexy.

- Right, Joey?
- Joey Buttafuoco over here!

Step two: You get yourself a g*n,
and you find this guy's wife.

Then you just point and sh**t.
Bada-bing, bada-bang!

Step three: You sell off your
movie rights, your paperback rights.

Then you look for
the new sitcom on Fox...

The Buttafuocos Over Here!

Hey, sure, I'm gonna spend
a couple of years in the slammer...

but I'm already eligible
for parole in ' over here.

And all this money spread out
with three years in the clink...

that works out to, per year...

Oh, she's workin' it out!

I gotta put somethin'...
Well, a whole lot of money.

So, take my seminar.

Yeah, right. I took Amy's seminar,
and nobody bought my rights.

All I did was go straight to jail.

Oops. I almost forgot
the most important step.

Step number four:
Make sure that you're white.

Yeah, 'cause Hollywood
only buys stories...

about white people
k*lling each other over here!

Hey, duh!
Now, give me a kiss here, Joey!

You come here, you!
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!

Hey, Joey!
What are you kissin' that whore for?

Hey, MaryJo.
I wasn't kissin' her.

I was, uh, givin' her C.P.R. Over here.

- Give me a break.
- That's myJoey...

always trying to
help people over here.

All right, everybody break it up.
Visiting day is over over here.

So dial -LO-LITER.

I'll get you more bang
for your buck.

Bada-bing, bada-bang.
It's just that simple.

Call me.

- [Whispering] Over here?
- Over here.

And welcome to my crib.

Horror you doin'?

Not my African-American brothers, though.

They're always chilling...

Vanilla Ice.

Just as cold as

That's for that corny-ass movie.

Tonight, I scared up
a tale of fright...

So lock your doors

Come here, girl.

Lookee here, girl.
Home, sweet home.

Honey, I just can't believe
that we got this place so cheap.

- This is nice. We can really fix this place up.
- I think so.

Make it real nice...
Hey, hey, hey.

- But, first, we gotta get this damn door fixed.
- [Man Groans]

Did you hear that? I think
we got some freaks livin' next door to us.

- You know, I was gonna tell you...

You need to get yourself right up off

- You know what I'm sayin'?
- Calm yourself. Calm yourself.

It's all right, honey. I'll be right back.
I'm just gonna hang up my coat.

[Roaring]

No, you won't!

[Whimpering]

You know what, girl? One thing about
this place... the rats sure are smaller.

A lot smaller.

[Rumbling]

[Man]
Get out of my house!

- This is my house!
- The hell it is!

We took out a V.A. Loan and borrowed
$ , for the down payment.

Then feel the burning fires ofhell!

No, what you do is,
you prepare to get your butt kicked.

- [Shouting Continues]
- Yeah, yeah. Keep it up. Keep it up.

I'll give you somethin' to holler about.
Keep it up!

You know what?
Martin is comin' on in two minutes.

You need to hush up
so I can see some Sheneneh.

- Shut the hell up!
- [Shouting Stops]

- My house.
- Aw, heck.

I guess we can find another house
to be our gateway to hell.

Come on!

[Chuckling]
That was... That was fright...

That was frightfully brief, wasn't it?

But, then again, my people don't fear
nothin' that goes bump in the night...

unless it's comin' through
the window with a shotgun.

[Cackling]

Join me next time
for another terror-ific story...

when I bring you
Friday the First: Day of the Rent.

[Laughs]
Peace!

And they would've been counting
those positions against our administration...

those bean counters
who were doing that...

if I had appointed
white men to those positions.

I'm back!

Thought you could shake me, didn't ya?
Well, let me ask you this:

How you gonna inaugurate

And that's just what I done right now.
