I got some gage, fresh off the boat.
00:01:03.435 --> 00:01:04.895
It's clean and seedless.
00:01:04.999 --> 00:01:06.073
So that's how it is, huh?
00:01:06.999 --> 00:01:09.733

00:01:14.738 --> 00:01:16.006
Oberon, listen ...
00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:19.999
You know, Marlene and Gossie are the
ones running the game on you, Ray.
00:01:19.999 --> 00:01:20.828
What?
00:01:20.911 --> 00:01:23.414
They sliced up the pie
the first night you played.
00:01:23.497 --> 00:01:25.999
35 percent off the top.
00:01:25.001 --> 00:01:27.334
Plus Gossie's
double scale as leader.
00:01:27.751 --> 00:01:29.997
Leader?
If anybody's leading the band,
00:01:29.999 --> 00:01:31.001
I'm the one that's the leader.
00:01:31.999 --> 00:01:33.001
Forget the bo' humps.
You know what?
00:01:33.215 --> 00:01:34.055
I ... I'm ... I'm gonna go
my own way.
00:01:34.633 --> 00:01:36.001
Who's gonna book your gigs?
00:01:36.001 --> 00:01:38.554
Marlene's got you locked up.
00:01:38.595 --> 00:01:41.039
And she ain't gonna give up
her golden goose.

Hey, Ray Robinson,
you are fantastic.
00:01:49.982 --> 00:01:52.276
There you go. Give me some skin.
00:01:53.902 --> 00:01:54.999
What's that?
00:01:55.993 --> 00:01:56.238
Jack's card.
00:01:56.321 --> 00:01:58.407
I got his number at the hotel.
00:02:04.246 --> 00:02:06.206
Come on, Q.
It's not that complicated.
00:02:06.001 --> 00:02:07.583
Now let's just play it again.
00:02:07.666 --> 00:02:09.501
That's a B flat, C 7, scale it up,
00:02:09.001 --> 00:02:11.999
and triple it off the back end.
00:02:13.797 --> 00:02:15.001
Yeah, nigger! Yeah, that's it.
00:02:17.999 --> 00:02:20.596
Ray, what did I tell you
about cookin' in the dark?
00:02:20.637 --> 00:02:22.001
Are you tryin'
to burn the house down?
00:02:22.001 --> 00:02:24.999
Think about it, Marlene. Uh ... uh,
what do I need the light for?
00:02:24.999 --> 00:02:26.001
Well, you don't need
to be cookin' anyway.
00:02:26.081 --> 00:02:28.001
We brought you
takeout from Oscar's.
