Do the Right Thing

Wake up.

Wake up, wake up, wake up.

Up ya wake, up ya wake, up ya wake, up ya wake.

This is Mister Señor Love Daddy.

Your voice of choice.

The world's only 12-hour strong man on the air.

Here on WE-LOVE radio, 108 FM.

The last on your dial, but first in your hearts,

and that's the truth, Ruth.

Here I am. Am I here?

Ya know it. It ya know.

This is Mister Señor Love Daddy

doing the nasty to ya ears, ya ears to the nasty.

I's only play da platters dat matter

the matters dey platter,

and that's the truth, Ruth.

From the heart of Bed-Stuy, you're listening to WE-LOVE radio.

Doing the ying and the yang, the hip and the hop,

the stupid fresh thing, the flippity-flop.

I have today's forecast for you.

Hot! Sss!

The color for today is black.

That's right, black.

So you can absorb some of these rays and save that heat for winter.

So you wanna get on out there, wear that black and be involved.

Also today's temperature's gonna rise up over 100 degrees.

So that's a Jheri-curl alert.

That's right, Jheri-curl alert.

If you have a Jheri-curl, stay in the house

or you'll end up with a permanent plastic helmet on your head forever.

All right, we're going to say hello to Mister and Missus,

that's Mister and Missus.

And happy birthday to Big Red, Little Red

and Miss Annie Mae, who's 100 today.

If you're careful and stay out of this heat,

you might live to be that old yourself.

There's also a water shortage, so keep those showers down to one minute.

Two minutes if you're showering with a friend.

- You better get on out there. - Oh, damn!

It is hot!

You'll get that pink slip.

So get up, get up, get up and get on out there!

That's what I'm talking about.

We don't want to see anybody losing their jobs

'cause ain't nobody got no money as it is.

All right. Now we're going to talk about it.

The streets are coming alive. We're going to rock 'n' roll...

Good m-m-morning.

M-M-My name is Smiley.

This is M-M-M-M-Malcolm... X.

And this is M-M-M-M-Martin K-K-King.

Now, th-they are d-d-dead.

But w-we still h-h-have to f-f-f-fight

a-against ap-apartheid.

10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100.

20, 40, 60, shit!

80... 300.

20, 40, 60, 80... Wait, that's 300.

300, 350, 450... cash dollar bills.

Mookie. Why are you always bothering me when I'm sleeping...

Wake up, wake up.

Stop breathing down my neck!

Why should I wake up, Mookie?

It's gonna be hot today, Jade.

Saturday's the only day I get to sleep late.

Damn.

Stop, Mookie. That's not funny.

Why don't you leave me alone when I'm sleeping?

What's the matter? You don't love your brother Mookie anymore?

I loves you, Jade.

I'll get a lock and keep your ass out of here, Mookie.

Why don't you go to work, man, and leave me alone for once?

Later. Got to get paid.

Yeah, brush your teeth.

I brushed my teeth.

Your breath stinks.

It's your upper lip.

What's up, there, Sal? How you doin' there, boy?

Man, I got to get me a Cadillac like that.

I'm gonna get me a car just like that. Big old Cadillac.

Oh, it's hot.

Sonny, how's the vegetables, huh?

Good morning, Sal, Pino, Vito.

Pop, you talk to that air-condition guy?

I been calling him all week.

He won't come around unless he has a police escort.

Pino, get a broom and sweep up front.

Vito, get a broom and sweep out front.

- Huh? - Get a broom and sweep out front.

What?

Get a broom and sweep out front!

See, Pop? It's just what I was telling you.

Every time you tell Pino what to do,

he tells me to do what you told him what to do.

He's brain-dead, Pop, for years.

- Both of you, shut up. - Tell Pino!

What, am I talking to myself, here? Is that what I'm doing?

I didn't want to come to work anyway.

I hate this friggin' place. I detest it like a sickness.

You-You detest this place like a sickness?

That's, like, really hate, you know? That's hate.

- I didn't say that. - Oh, you didn't say that?

What, I just heard it. Am I going crazy?

Did I just hear that, Vito?

I mean, do you think you can do better?

No, I didn't think so.

You see, Pino, this is a respectable business,

and there's nothing wrong with that.

If there's something wrong with that, I want you to tell me.

You... No, you can tell me right now.

- Is there something wrong with that? - No.

All right. There's nothing wrong. All right? Okay?

Look, do me a favor.

- Get a broom and sweep up. - Tell Vito.

What are you, deaf or what? Pop asked you.

I'm going to kill somebody today.

- I can't believe it, you know? - What?

That you like her.

- I don't like her. - Yeah?

Yeah, I don't like her.

Hell no.

- Hey. - Hi, Mookie.

Mookie.

Hey, Mook.

Mornin', Mookie.

Morning, Miss Mother Sister.

Now Mookie, don't work too hard today.
