Last Holiday

Hold it, hold it, hold it. Georgia.

Sister Abernathy is singing three times as loud as you

and she just had her tonsils out, sugar.

-How you gonna account for that? -l'm sorry, Reverend, l thought l was.

lt's all right, baby. lt's all right.

Now, as an incentive for us all to be in full voice

on Sunday, our very own Senator Dillings will be here

to help us kick off our Community Redevelopment Program. Amen.

Amen!

LAST HOLlDAY

Hi, ma'am.

Okay.

Okay, here we go. Domino, Lean Cuisine.

You take the paper towel, right? Oh, and mayonnaise.

That's it.

-That's it? -Yes.

-Hey, little mama, that pretty. -Check it out, man. Yeah.

Let me holla at you for a sec. Don't you got no time for nobody?

Hey, Miss Byrd.

Hey. Any problems with the car today?

Some gunshots. Nobody mess with the car, though.

Okay, Darius, so you come by in exactly 75 minutes and l'll be ready.

Yes, ma'am. Me, too.

Yeah! Welcome back! Welcome back to Emeril Live!

Emeril Lagasse here. We're making chicken four ways tonight.

Wait till you see this dish that l got coming up right now for you.

Poulet Tchoupitoulas.

Oh, уeаh, bаbу!

You can't see this at hoтe, but he is happy, this chicken.

Нe's clаpping for Doc Gibbs and the Emeril Live Band!

He's just... Oh, yeah.

You gotta split him in half

and then we're gonna make what l call a paste.

This chicken, skin-side down...

Skin-side down.

Now, for this Poulet Tchoupitoulas,

maybe some of this fume blanc would work.

So, a little splash like this. Okaу?

Or a big splash!

Like that!

Bread pudding with onions, with sweet corn, and andouille sausage.

Okaу? Oh, yeah.

'Cause the Poulet Tchoupitoulas with the bread pudding.

Baт!

Look at that! That's looking good!

l don't suppose you're gonna have any?

Lord, no. l don't eat nothing but my Lean Cuisine.

What is that book, anyway?

-How do you like them greens? -Oh, man, it's the bomb!

Well, good. l mixed them this time, you know.

Collard greens

and of course, your favorite, turnip greens.

-And l got plenty for your grandpa. -Cool, thanks.

Sugar!

l just got these pants.

Always doing this.

Darius, what are you doing?

That is my private property.

-l was just looking. What is it? -lt's nothing.

lt's just what it says, just possibilities.

Just things l'm interested in.

lncluding this guy?

-He your boyfriend? -No.

He's just an idea.

l mean, he's a real guy...

Why are you snooping around my stuff, anyway?

So, what's his name?

Who?

None of your business.

l'll tell you what his name is. His name is lucky mother...

What?

l know you might as well go ahead leave my house now

if you're gonna be using that kind of language.

l'm sorry, but short of you telling me his name,

l don't know anything better to call him.

His name is Sean.

-Sean Williams. -Sean Williams, huh?

And you better not say anything to anybody.

l ain't.

There he is, there he is. Okay, l'm not gonna say anything.

-You just talk to him. -No, l'm not going to talk to him.

Just to say hello. All right?

Go and talk to him. Stop him.

-Good morning, Miss Byrd. -Mr. Williams.

What was that? Was that power flirting?

l don't know.

Oh, my, my, my. You could crack a walnut with that ass.

Girl, stop!

Don't you have somewhere to be?

You know what we need to do?

We need to get you out of these frumpy clothes and into something

-that shows off the real estate a little bit. -No. Rochelle! This is a workplace.

Seriously. Then you need to go down there

and you need to talk to Mr. Big Stuff

and you need to tell him what you want for Christmas.

-You just sit in his lap... -Hey! Rochelle, come on, now.

What? No... What are you worried about?

That they're going to fire you in this place?

Take your coffee and go!

You're the best damn worker they got in this whole damn place.

They're not gonna fire you. You're just scared.

You're scared of some man getting a hold of all that booty of yours!

Would you stop?

He could hold my booty.

Sean!

Attention Kragen shoppers,

stop in our health clinic on the second floor

to make sure your holidays...

Right. This piece goes here.

There we go.

lt's still crooked, but, yeah, that's good.

-lt's good, huh? -No, no, no.

"Lip of shelf to fit between grill bottom and leg brace."

That was supposed to be put on last, but that's all right.

Thank you.

-Miss Byrd. -Georgia.

You had some light bulbs to change or something, remember?

Yeah! Oh, yeah, yeah, light bulbs.

Light bulbs. You know, they be relying on me...

Hey, l'll see you later.

Yeah. Sure. Yeah.

ls there something l can help you with?

That's quite a nice grill.

-Stainless steel, huh? -Yeah. Durable.

-Easy to clean? -You just hose it down.

Just hose it down, huh?

-Are you on your break? -Yes.

Well, that's why l'm here. l wanted to ask you something.

Ask me what?

Do you think l'll get my store discount if l buy this thing?

Well, of course. Of course you get your store discount.

But l just sold you a grill last week, remember?

Yeah. But that was a hibachi. That was for traveling.

l think somebody should've told you when you got this thing

that you're supposed to have a lawn or a backyard or something.

Okay, how about a little more lifting and a little less talking?

That looks good. Smells good, too.

All right, there you have it.

A simple Creole roasted duck hash en croute.

Now, what you can do with this here

is you can take a little bit of the parsley,

and onion if you like, if that's what you like.

But here's what l like to do. Now, this is only for the brave ones.

For those who don't get a lot of heartburn.

l like to kick some of that hot sauce on there, spice it up something.

Please, come on and enjoy some.

Excuse me.

Now, l made this special for you.

l left the pine nuts out

'cause l know they get up under your bridgework sometimes.

Aren't you sweet?

-Thank you. -Excuse me.

Are you bucking for General of the Salvation Army or what?

Stop feeding the moochers.

We always have

our Wednesday morning sales demonstration, Mr. Adamian.

No, no. That's exactly the kind of thinking

that put this store in Chapter 1 1 in the first place.

Now, Mr. Kragen, he's trying to change the culture around here.

And by culture, l mean money.

Now, if you care about your future here,

l suggest you get with the program, Miss Byrd.

Have you read this? Kragen's awesome.

-Everybody got one. -Read it again.

Yeah. Yup?

Yup. Yup.

Well, then, hire another Santa. Of course, he has to be fat.

Attention Kragen shoppers,

todaу's pre-Christmas sales are on the second level.

Georgia. l'm sorry, l didn't mean to scare you. l'm sorry.

Oh, my God. l'm sorry.

No. l'm sorry.

l'm kind of in my own little world up here.

What brings you to cookware?

lt's that smell, to tell you the truth. l can't help it.

lt wafts down the escalator, usually l can resist, but...

Oh.

Oh, well, please have some.

l'll probably get fired over this.

Did you ever have a smell that triggers a memory?

This smells like my mama's house.

Thank you.

That's incredible. lncredible.

You know, l'm just trying to sell the cookware.

Where did you become a chef?

France, or someplace European or something?

Oh, no, l'm not a chef. l've never been to France.

l ain't never been further north than Mobile, Alabama.

You know, it's just a hobby. Something l really enjoy doing.

-A hobby, huh? -l never trained or anything.

-You gonna train? -l don't know.

Someday. Maybe.

Look. l was wondering, sometime, if you're free

l thought maybe we could...

-Oh, l'm sorry. -l'll get it. l'll get it.

You got...

Oh... Georgia!

Whoa! What happened? ls she okay?

She hit her head.

-Give me a hand, please. -So what? lt's just a bump.
