Treme

Come on!

Hey, baby.

- That ain't right. - Should be 10.

Price was 12, bro.

Say, bro, 1200 was for eight pieces.

And you said you was going to have shorty kickin' it with y'all.

- Shorty gonna make it. - Yeah, well, hain't here now.

And I seen y'all ain't got but the one 'bone out there, bro.

Now look, we already cut our price. And we now have seven to step off.

Say, baby, seven don't get you 12.

- Seven get you 10, seem to me. - Yeah, you right.

Man, look around- look at this damn place.

Hmm, look at it.

How much water y'all get up here?

Shit, you see the line over my head.

Six... six and a half.

Look, I feel for y'all. But less than $200 a man?

That shit ain't right.

Say, baby, if shit was right,

You think we'd have to scrape up

A couple dozen of us to do this here?

You think we'd all be paradin' on the same day?

Come on, bro.

Most of us wearin' last year's suits.

Last few dollars went to meyer, baby,

To pay for the fedoras.

Yeah, meyer, you know.

- Y'all do look correct, though. - Well, we got to, baby.

It's a tradition, man. It's a tradition.

Come on, now take it.

My man.

- Ha ha! - All right, brother.

- 12, right? - Money hard to come by.

At least that's what I hear.

Rolling us again.

Black men, mount up, baby.

Let's go get 'em.

Let's go get 'em, daddy.

Always for pleasure, baby.

Always for pleasure. Let's do it like we do.

* I feel like funkin' it up *

* feel like funkin' it up *

- * I feel like... * - Uncle, Jerry!

Get that thing, boy!

* what's going on? *

See, I'm short, I know.

But if you had went down city park Avenue and then esplanade and Saint Claude

Instead of all the way on the interstate, it would've been less.

If you want to take city park and esplanade, then say so.

Man, I thought you knew.

You say esplanade, I'll take you esplanade, no problem.

Look man, when I catch up with them

And play that parade, I'ma have it, all right?

I'm gonna find you.

I will.

Thank you, brother, I owe you.

Right. Yeah, you're right.

Oh sit, batiste playin' "rebirth" now?

Who that?

Running late, huh, bro?

What's up, bro?

What's up?

Aw, shit, look who the fuck showed up.

When the last time you saw this motherfucker play a second line?

First thing to go is those legs, old man.

And he stole that from tyrus.

Man, tyrus used to play that riff to death.

Negro, if you are referring to Mr. Chapman,

The fact is he appropriated that particular

Musical ornamentation from my repertoire, bro.

Damn! That how they talk at them gigs uptown?

Yeah. - Shorty ain't gonna make it, huh?

Nah, shorty sent me to show y'all how to play music.

Yeah.

That's the sixth ward in my 'bone, baby.

You're in treme, y'all don't know nothing about that.

Oh, let's see how it sounds six or seven miles from now, motherfucker.

Yeah, blow your horn, fool. You'll see.

Play for the money, boys.

Play for that motherfuckin' money.

* I feel like funkin' it up *

* feel like funkin' it up, funkin' it up *

* I feel like funkin' it up, feel like funkin' it up *

Whoo!

I thought you were hung-over.

Shh.

They're doin' it.

They're doin' it!

It's the first second line since the storm.

It sounds like "rebirth."

* she made me cry *

* she done me wrong *

* get my nose open *

* that's no lie... *

Ah! Hey! No! First shower is me!

No, I have to get to the restaurant.

I have to get to the second line.

Whatever hot water you have in here is for me...

Not you, me.

Fine.

Davis!

Oh. You know what?

I'm this close to getting a new wer heater.

Hey, do you think you could float me a loan?

Oh, good God.

Well, I'm a musician. What do you want me to say?

You're a disc jockey.

I can't believe I didn't go home last night

When I had the chance.

Yeah, no cold shower for you, huh?

You are a cold shower.

Last night... not so much.

Yeah.

Well, what girl wouldn't be

Seduced by all this?

Seriously, Davis, this place is a shithole.

Ah!

Three of the furious five on duty and on call,

I salute you!

Hey hey! - I thought you weren'tfive gonna make it. Call,

Oh! You mock me, sir.

If you persist in doing so, I will have satisfaction.

Be satisfied. It's all good.

You satisfied now? - Aw, I'm playin' with you, dawg.

"I will ha satisfaction" is like what a gentlemen says

When he wishes to duel.

You knowpistols at 10 paces.

I will have satisfaction.

Ah! You say that shit,

Then you slap the bitch with a glove!

Bap!

* baby used to stay out *

* all night long *

* she made me cry *

* she done me wrong *

* she broke my little heart *

* but that's all right *

* 'cause the table's turned *

* and now it's her turn to cry *

* because I used to love her *

* but it's all over now... *

Go.

* I said I used to love her *

* but it's all over now... *

Come on! Come on!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

- Jacques! - Mademoiselle desautel.

It's so quiet. How can you work?

- Where is everyone? - Pedro's running late.

- Wardell? - Irene's.

- 10 an hour. - Dishwashing?

Damn, things are outta whack.

What's your cousin doing- Raymond?

I could call him.

Yeah, if you wouldn't mind.

What about Pedro?

Oh, I'm so over Pedro.

The one I really miss is David.

Daymo!

- That's my boy. - Ah! Oysters.

See? It's gettin' better.

It's oyster season. How bad could life be?

Janette, it's half.

That's not going to get us through the night.

I could run out to dorignac's. They got crawfish.

And we could parade naked down prytania street too,

But I'm not gonna do it. No fucking frozen

Chinese crawfish in my kitchen.
