Treme

I miss them too. I miss our routine.

You're not gonna find out who you have in your custody?

Now he might not be your David Brooks,

But he sure as hell's my David Brooks.

She put that on the Internet?

Anybody can put anything up on there.

Isn't that cool?

What you doing, boy? You stealing from me?

I wasn't stealing, man, I swear.

- You some kin to poke, right? - An old friend.

Well, I noticed you workin' on his bar

And I was wondering if you had some work for my nephew.

- That was Tom Mcdermott. - Terrific.

I have a private gig

And I could use a fiddle on a couple tunes.

They gonna bulldozer all of it.

- That's why you need to come back. - Oh, Jesus!

Wild man Jesse's dead. I found the body.

They knocked one of my teeth loose.

Might mess with my embouchure.

- Why did you get beat? - I was walking.

I bumped into a cop car with my horn.

Next thing, I got two cops whalin' on me.

Without that horn I can't make a living.

Silencio.

- No más. - ¿No más?

Sí, no más. Ya. No me oíste. Dhuh. E en Paz.

- Nurse? - Edward Bocage?

- Nurse? - Right here.

- Come on back, sir. - Oh, but no. Nuh-uh.

Excuse me. I was here before him.

You need to wait your turn, sir.

It was my turn.

- Easy, bro. - Go ahead.

One or two E.R.s in the whole damn city.

What you gonna do, huh?

Verdad.

Yeah. Verdad.

Dr. Wasserman, call your service.

Dr. Wasserman, call your service.

Nurse?

Ha yeah!

Whoo!

I know all about the wind-storm deductible.

What I'm talking about is right and wrong.

Now I've been making premium payments to you people

- For 34 years. - And we appreciate your loyalty.

And we're honoring the terms of our agreement with you.

The hell you are.

We determined that the primary damage to your home was caused by the flood.

Well, the hurricane caused the goddamned flood.

There are varying opinions as to that, I'm afraid,

Which would be moot if you'd had flood insurance.

So you're telling me if I had flood insurance, I'd be covered.

But because I didn't, you ain't responsible.

I assume you read your policy carefully before you signed it.

State farm. May I help you?

I know you must be disappointed.

I'm disappointed for you.

But the policy we have with you

Is clear.

How you get to sleep at night, man?

I drink.

I did give him the message and I'm sure he'll be calling.

Dr. Lorenzo, line 4. Dr. Lorenzo, line 4.

Antoine Batiste?

Thank you, Jesus.

Adios, amigo.

We can take my ride, brother.

Houston?

Man, I don't know.

Rusty's, baby.

Sunday nights are all about New Orleans.

It's Glen David Andrews and most of new birth representin', man.

But it's really like an open-mike kind of thing.

So we get to sit in, share some of the door.

- You know how it goes. - What about Annie?

Little shitbox I'm driving, man, we can barely hold us three and our gear.

I don't know. We're usually down here on Frenchmen on Sunday nights.

You'd rather be shucking and jiving in front the apple barrel

For spare change than throwing it down

At a packed-to-the-rafters Texas honky-tonk?

It's gonna be a road trip-- an American road trip.

You ever been on one of those?

I read "on the road"... In English.

- I dug it. - You read the book. Now live the movie, baby.

It's a big fucking country, man. I mean, Texas itself, shit.

It's not like Holland or "hamsterdam" or wherever the fuck you're from.

It's Amsterdam and it's in Holland.

It's the same place.

- Let me talk to Annie. - There you go.

- How's it going? - Swell.

I spent the day at temporary evidence

Looking for a trombone of all things.

Complete chaos-- nothing's catalogued.

- Looks like a-- - Like a storm hit it.

How's it going with you?

You recognize this one?

Sofia glued her first-grade photo to it.

- That was, what? '96? - Mmm.

That's a special holiday I'll always remember.

Cray, have you been out today?

Ehh.

You should get dressed, take a walk, see some folks, eh?

I'm on break till the semester starts, honey.

Can't I just hang out at home?

You know, Cray, you could think of this downtime

As an opportunity.

Weren't you talking about working on the novel?

I don't know. My fiction seems a bit inconsequential to me right now.

We all need to work.

I am working.

Aren't you gonna help me here?

Whatever. Pass the tinsel.

Tinsel? What is this, 1956?

I say you could change that, Raymond.

Man, it's time for some q93 up in here.

Putting me to sleep with that dixieland merde.

Why am I not smelling onions sautéing happily on the stove?

In fact, why am I not smelling anything cooking?

Where are my entrees for table 6?

We have no flame.

I thought entergy came out yesterday and blew the water out of the line.

They did, but they must have just blown it down the street to somebody else.

Who called them back out and they blew it back to me. Fuck me.

When is the city gonna get this fixed?

I got a packed house tonight. We are fully committed.

The only thing we can serve right now is colds.

This is not a deli, Jacques.

People come here, they want cooked cuisine.

Fire up the butane burners and set up the chafing dishes.

My kitchen, my radio, cousin.

Ah, you're my lifeline, baby.

Yeah.

Just a little overcome.

On stax. A b-side, no less.

- Ollie and the nightingales. - Mmm, that's right.

But Ollie Hoskins didn't sing the vocals on this one.

This here is Tommy Tate. Sir mack rice brought him in.

- Tommy could do it. - Oh, yeah.

Mm-hmm. Tate was a giant.

But you know what?

Most folks don't even remember his name.

Memphis, new Orleans-- all these deep-fried musicians,

Forgotten or about to be.

Cry a river, you feel the need.

Not gonna get you back on your feet.

My mouth is fucked up, Ladonna.

Al Hirt never played the same after he caught that brick

Ridin' with Bacchus back in the day.

Didn't stop him playing the next 30 years,

So that's no excuse.

What did that E.R. Doctor say when he took out your stitches?

Said I got dental issues.

Then this is one of them bright-side things

'cause you know we got a dentist in the family gonna charge you next to nothing.
