was
gonna be an incredible story,
and it was.
Can you believe
the way things work out?
Sal and Ed Reese are partners?
No!
All right, it's a hot day
out here, let's get it right
the first time, all right?
We can go home,
it's history. Ready?
One, two, three, four.
Loosen up! That's it. Smile.
Don't be afraid to smile.
You need to go with it.
Well, I'll tell you one thing,
I'm happy to have you here.
You know, hey, man, you know,
you ought to try some skin
softener or something, man.
That stuff look real hard.
You ought to take care of it.
One thing I wanna talk
to you about, though.
Now that the noodle factory
is a success, and after all,
I am the pasta king,
I think we ought
to try and diversify.
What I think we ought to do
is get into animal noodles.
We ought to make
little dog noodles
and little cat noodles.
We should get little lion
and little tiger noodles,
you know? Elephant noodles.
The kids will love it.
They'll eat it up.
And that's my plan, you see,
I'll get all the kids
going into the supermarkets
and they'll be buying
Wallissimo Jefferson noodles
and we will make a fortune.
Which reminds me,
guess who I saw on 33rd
and 3rd the other day?
Lefkowitz.
You remember Lefkowitz,
he a lawyer now.
Did it at home, too.
Correspondence course.
That boy was always smart.
He handles all
my affairs for me now.
Takes care of me legally.
As a matter of fact,
I don't mind saying
Lefkowitz is directly
responsible for the condition
I'm in today.
Two weeks ago we did my will.
I wanna show it to you.
I got it right here.
He told me to keep it
with me at all times.
You know like, just in case.
Here let me read this to you.
See, it say right here,
"I, Wallace A. Jefferson,
being of sound mind,
spent all my money. "
Ain't that good?
Wait till I die
and they read that.
That's wonderful.
Another thing I wanted
to talk to you about
is about my new idea.
I call it
Raiders of the Burning Bush.
You see, all we have
to do is find the spot
where the original
burning bush went down
and then we sell tickets
so people can go see it.
It's kind of like
the Lost Ark, especially what
we're gonna do with it, see.
Well, I think more people
would wanna see the spot
where the burning bush
went down.
Now, I know you might think
it sounds kind of far-fetched.
I know a lot of people
probably been looking for it
and everything,
but it's hard to find
because the bush burned down.
You and me, Muhammed.
I think we can do it.
And I bet you we could
make a fortune, too.
I know we can make enough
to buy me a new convertible,
after that dude stole it
from the noodle factory.
You hired the cat.
And don't,
don't go pretending
like you didn't hire him
because when he came
and asked for the job,
I turned to you and I said,
"Should we hire him or not?"
And I gave you the nudge
and you gave him the nod.
So you did hire the cat.
And you... I never brought
this up before.
But I'm bringing it up now
simply because it's gone.
So either you
go in with me on this
Raiders of the Burning Bush,
or I'm gonna have to
reconsider our partnership,
Muhammed.
That's enough for you
to drink, you know. Hey, look
here, I'm buying you a drink,
you sit there,
you eat, you waste it.
Come on, Muhammed.
That's all right,
leave it there,
I'll drink it myself.
The only trouble is,
every time I drink one
then I got to go again.
You never have to go. I mean,
I have two or three
and I'm off to the john.
Used to be a time
when I could hold
a whole case.
Now I have two
or three drinks, boom,
I got to go.
Guess I must be getting older.
Ain't nothing I can do
about it. I mean,
you can't stop time.
I mean, you see time
walking down the street.
You say, "Hey, Time, hold it.
I wanna rap to you. "
Time ain't gonna stop for you.
Time waits for no man.
Time will tell you,
"Sorry, I got to march on. "
