FernGully: The Last Rainforest

Ladies and gentlemen, Finesse Mitchell.

["Remember Me" by Keith Jacobs playing]

Yeah!

Sit on down. Sit on down.

- What up, L.A.? -

Won't he do it? Won't he do it?

- Yes, he will! - And if y'all don't know

anything about my life, I'm standing up here

telling you right now won't he do it?

He's so good to me. What?

And I'm talking about the Man upstairs, man.

'Cause when I first got out here from Atlanta,

talking about years ago, people, I was like,

"I don't know." A lot of people don't

follow they dreams. You gotta follow your dreams.

I said, "I'm going. Fuck it, I'm going."

- - And when I got out here, man,

I was like, "Oh, he blessing me right off the bat."

I got a two-bedroom, $630 a month.

Sixteen-hundred square feet right off of Rodeo.

I'm bragging to everybody in Atlanta,

"It ain't hard out here. It's good.

It's affordable. The same prices in Atlanta."

You ever find out you live in a bad neighborhood

- while watching a movie? -

I saw Training Day with Denzel Washington

I was like, "Wait a minute, that's my house right there.

- What the... -

I live next door to Denzel girlfriend.

What the fuck? I thought..."

My L.A. friends were trying to tell me.

They was like, "Bro, you... you don't live off of Rodeo."

I'm like... "It say 'Rodeo.'"

He said, "No, but in that area it's 'ro-dee-oh.'"

I'm like, "What's the difference?"

They were like, "Eight homicides a month and no Jamba Juice."

I was like, "Fuck!

I don't have a Jamba Juice. Damn."

I mean, that's all right. I made it through.

The toughest thing that ever really happened

to me in that neighborhood was somebody

tried to break in the car with me in the car.

Like, I dozed off. I was sleep.

It's late at night, you know?

You think you gonna say something tough

when somebody violates you like that.

The most gangsta thing I could think of...

They woke me up out my sleep. I was like, "Hey!

Somebody's in here. I'm in here. Hey.

Hey, come on now. Right here.

This is me right here. That's... The one up there,

that's empty. This is... I'm right here.

Matter of fact, let me get the hell out this car."

No, man, L.A. been good to me, though.

I can't even complain about it. I...

Only thing He gotta work on me now...

and I'm talking about my...

He gotta get me out them clubs,

but not like I go a lot, I just go to check in.

Like, I'm in the entertainment business.

Sometimes you just gotta go and check in.

Make sure you got it, make sure they know you.

You know what I'm saying? But...

being in your 40s, even though, like, we age good

and y'all know who I'm talking about right now.

We... We age good.

And you think they don't know.

Real, young people, they know.

They know your ass ain't supposed to be in there.

I don't care how much cocoa butter you put on.

Nah, they know. They say the same shit

we said when we was 21 and we saw somebody

40 walk in the club. "Keisha, there go your daddy.

That's your daddy. He just came in.

Oh, my God, he got on suspenders.

That's your daddy."

You don't even know they talking about you.

You in there like, "Yeah.

What y'all know about Cool Water Cologne?

Doesn't matter."

Being there having a good time.

You be doing the dances better than them sometimes.

They... Young people are haters, dawg.

Stay out the club if you don't want your feelings hurt

'cause you could be in there, you could be doing,

They'll still walk by say something unnecessary.

"Excuse me, sir." "Bitch, shut up.

I ain't no damn 'sir.'

You see me killing this shit, hater.

You a hater."

"They don't play jazz here." "Shut up!

I know where I'm at!"

Sometimes, I ain't gonna lie, we do be in there

taking up space, though.

You ever see old people in the club just sitting there

just chilling? Doing everything but partying.

They be thinking about all the shit they gotta get done.

They be like, "God damn, I could've done

that load of whites. God damn.

I'm up here in this goddamn club.

I ain't create no space in my DVR.

Law & Orderabout to come on. God damn."

Sometimes they doze off.

They ain't even drunk. You just be...

You ever see... We just doze off.

Doze the fuck off for no reason.

We only dance when we hear one song.

- Get in there! - You be mad at your friend.

"Why didn't you wake me up? I almost missed it. Shit."

That's the safest dance we can do now-a-days.

You can't... You can't do that new shit.

You try to do this shit right here.

Fuck around, hit your nuts.

Done grazed my nuts!

And I don't know what the fuck this is.

Got to... You got a corn on your toe,

you can't do that shit. That's...

That's the young people shit right there.

I miss that old-school shit. I don't know how many of y'all

old-school, but I grew up in Miami.

You know what I'm saying? When I went to college,

that's when Luke came out.

Did y'all... Did you know Luke?

- No. - You never heard of Luke?

- Sing something. - Yeah, sing it.

Everybody say, "Hey!

We want some pussy!

Yeah!

- Ain't that romantic? -

We want some pussy, bitch. Hey!

You've never heard of that song?

That's the... That's on the Christmas album.

That's the number one hit.

That's when... That's when dancing was dancing.

That was... It was dancing and a workout.

You know what I'm saying?

That's when... That's when all the girls were getting us.

It wasn't called "twerking."

It was called "booty shake."

Let me give y'all a history lesson.

Booty shake.

Miley Cyrus switched it to twerking...

but that's when all the girls would get in a circle

and... you know, bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Fellas, that's the only time you could get behind a girl

and rub the fabric off your jeans.

- Yeah, you go... -

You be bragging to your friends.

She don't care. Bam! Bam! Bam!

You be waiting for that song.

You always want a big girl, too, 'cause a big girl they...

It's a better dance. They can absorb more.

You just...

Skinny girls, they complain too much.

You hit them, they be like, "Oh, I'm sorry.

Come back. That's your fault.

You need to eat. Come back.

I'll do it softer. Come back.

Turn around. Look that way."

But a big girl? That's the song.

That's a fight. That's bam! She be trying to kill you

and you don't wanna lose.

Big girls always have energy on a Luke song.

They can't walk up a driveway, but they can goddamn finish

three Luke songs.

You'll tag out, she don't even know.

You be like...

"She crazy. Go home!"

She on!

The good ole days!

Oh, man, but you got sometimes...

Let me talk to you people, sometimes you gotta leave

those days in the past, you know what I'm saying?

Ain't nothing wrong with looking your age

and feeling good and happy where you are in life,

you know what I'm saying?

- I'm blessed. -

Shout out to all the people who been married

a second time. Where are all my...

my second time... Yes, I see you, sir.

Yes, don't be ashamed.

Sometimes that's what God has for you.

You wasn't ready for the first one.

The first one wasn't ready for you.

Y'all didn't know what y'all were doing.

Y'all was wasting each other time.

And then the next thing you know,

He gets you out of that situation

and bring you into a new situation and bless you.

This the person you supposed to be with.

Yeah, look at her. She's like, "Yes. Yes!

I tell his ass that all day.

I saved your life!"
