Well, look, Cousin Elsee, the pork chops aren't nearly done.
So if you have to go on and leave, we understand.
Oh, child, after you did all that hard work.
.
.
Cousin Elsee ain't going nowhere.
And let me tell you a little story about pork chops.
Now, pork chops can be eaten in all sorts of stages.
Wasn't until the white man invented that oven.
.
.
they made up that lie about the raw pork and worms.
I'm telling you they just wanted to sell ovens, that's what that was all about.
Yeah, well, you know, better safe than sorry.
"Better safe than sorry.
" That sound like a condom ad to me.
[Laughs.]
"A condom ad!" I am a fool on wheels.
! I'm a lunatic.
They need to slice open my head and lobotomize me.
Yeah, well, uh.
.
.
Son, what do you think, uh, you're going to be doing in college next year? Dad, I was thinking about joining the wrestling team.
.
.
but I'm having problems with my takedowns.
Ooh, takedowns.
Did I hear somebody say something about takedowns? Yeah, it's takedowns.
It's a wrestling term.
Yeah, I know what it is.
I used to be the Lennox Avenue Wrestling Champ in '48.
- You big donkey-looking.
.
.
- Oh! - Curtis! Oh, now Cousin Elsee gonna show you how to do a little takedown.
Cousin Elsee, what.
.
.
C-Cousin.

Damn, Cousin Elsee! Get off me! Hey! Hey, Daddy, Daddy! Get off me! Aaah! Oh, wait.
.
.
Wait a damn minute! Now, come on, Elsee.
Elsee, this is my house.
- Damn! - I won't take that.
