[SINGING.]
My name is Cleveland Brown And I am proud to be Right back in my hometown With my new family There's old friends and new friends And even a bear Through good times and bad times It's true love we share And so I found a place Where everyone will know My happy mustache face This is The Cleveland Show [CHUCKLES.]
Hi, I'm Slim Biggins owner and operator of the Bigg Nugget Riverboat Casino which arrives in Stoolbend, Virginia today.
Do you like cash, whores and extra oxygen? Ha! Are you human? Then come on down to the Bigg Nugget where you could double, triple, quadruple your money.
Five-timesify your money supply.
I'll see you at the Bigg Nugget where the fun is explosive.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Donna, thank God you're here.
[SIGHS LOUDLY.]
Cleveland, what is wrong with you? I've got the fever.
Gambling fever.
You know how to guard against the flu, they inject you with a little bit of the flu? Well, in much the same way the only cure for gambling fever is a little bit of gambling.
Riverboat gambling! Cleveland, I've seen that ad and I do not want you going to a casino.
Casinos ruined my Aunt Betty's life.
That's because Uncle Reggie kept winning and winning and winning till he realized he didn't have to be married to a fat nag anymore.
So he left her for a smoking-hot cocktail waitress with perfect breasts.
Donna, what you consider a cautionary tale, to this listener promises a second chapter for a life that's had too few pleasures.
Look, fool, if you really have the gambling bug I've got just the cure for you.
I know two sixes are pretty good.
[CLEVELAND GRO ANS.]
Cleveland, let's say you had two sixes.
Would that be higher or lower than the cards you currently have? - Higher.
- Then I'm all in.
Sixty cents.
A pair of sixes.
Ha-ha! Pair of jacks.
Suck it.
[GASPS.]
It is you who will suck from the tit of the devil for lying.
Pump your brakes.
Full house.
Four dollars and 38 cents.
Hey, now you're toilet-paper rich.
This goes straight into Roberta's college fund.
What do you got in there so far, Two thousand four hundred and twelve dollars.
- Damn.
- I know where this is going.
He's gonna gamble the money away at the riverboat.
Why are we watching if we know what's gonna happen? I know you're gonna knock the bong over every night but I still invite you over.
You're right.
Whoa, dude, we're on TV.
- Hey! Yes! - Hi, Mom! Hi! - Hi, Aunt Carol! Hi! - Hey, everybody! He's bluffing.
[PHONE BEEPING.]
Donna, how we doing on grapes? We low? I'm gonna make a grape run.
- Oh, okay.
- Bye.
What are you guys doing here? We're going down to the Bigg Nugget.
And you're coming with us.
Sorry, guys.
Donna doesn't want me to go.
But we got you this new plum-colored Lou Bega suit.
Mm.
That is sharp.
And plum is my color.
Come on.
I'll drive.
We'll take Apollonia.
But go slow.
This is the first time she's had four guys inside her at once.
You know what? I'm in.
Let's go.
- Yeah! - Casey Affleck.
[SINGING.]
Hey, must be the money [CAMERA BEEPING.]
Hey, that's my camera.
Joke's on him.
It's all close-ups of my man parts.
[COUGHING.]
Oh, man, this bad boy even has an all-you-can-eat buffet.
I'm gonna go see if their sports books got Bumfutch.
Our country doesn't take care of its veterans.
Hey, aren't you Slim Biggins from the commercials? - Damn right.
- Wow, you're on TV.
Are you a pervert like Pat O'Brien? No, Mr.
Brown, I am not.
- How do you know my name? - I didn't.
Now, come sit next to Mr.
Yellow over here.
Can we get my friend here a free cocktail? Wow, sitting next to an Asian guy having a free drink.
I could get used to this.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hooray! I just keep winning.
I feel like a homeowner before 2008.
Lordy me.
Look at that stack of chips.
Looks like somebody just earned his way into Club Nugget.
Club Nugget.
Both of those individually are names of porno magazines.
Oui, Hustler.
It's also the name of this casino's exclusive VIP player's club.
All right, dealer.
How about another blackjack for this brown Brown? Blackjack.
Who's your daddy? We don't know your name.
It's Cleveland.
- Cleveland.
- Ooh-hoo-hoo! - Cleveland.
- Oh-ho-ho-ho.
You had a good 12 minutes.
I don't know what happened.
Shoot, Mr.
Brown I was under the impression that you were a high roller, but clearly, I was mistaken.
I'm gonna have to ask you for your VIP card back.
I am a high roller.
I'm just short of cash.
Would it be possible for me to wager in furs or chalices or Elizabethan marital aids? - Sure.
- Of these things, I have none.
Would it be possible for me to wager a sofa cushion with a stripe of human feces on it which has been facing down for, oh, some months now? - No.
- Damn.
Of these things, I have two.
I'll find some money.
[PEOPLE YELLING INDISTINCTLY.]
All-you-can-eat, my furry ass.
[RO ARING.]
Money, money Junior's piggy bank.
Mixed nuts and a pickle? I can't do that to Romona.
[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
What was that? I said, does your husband play cards? Hee-hee-hee.
But this is my stepdaughter's college money you're talking about.
Or I'm thinking about.
Or whatever's going on here.
Oh, what's $2000 gonna get her anyway? Half a semester of clown college? Why not take a shot at turning that into money for a real education like at the University of Delaware? - Oh, yeah! Yeah! - Yeah! Yes! - Yes! That's cool! - UD! UD! - Delaware! Delaware! Delaware! - UD! That's us! That's us! Oops.
Well, I guess I can't keep losing.
Well, it's statistically impossible.
And they do say you're supposed to chase your bets.
That's what the casino owners say.
As Kevin Spacey said to Tom Cruise, "I'm all in.
" No, Dad.
Stop.
Wait.
High roller Cleveland Brown, reporting for duty.
Mr.
Brown, 12 showing.
My plum suit.
My plums.
Twenty-two, bust.
Roberta's college money.
Ohhh Oh, all this and no one to share it with.
WOMAN: Mr.
Biggins? - A Mr.
Brown to see you.
- Thank you, Miss Bazoombas.
Bowm.
Yes.
Now, what can I do for you, Mr.
Brown? - May I please have my money back? - No.
- Please? - Yes.
- Really? - No.
- Well, I've done all I can do.
- Hold up.
I'm gonna give you a chance to earn back your money by working for me.
- You think you could bartend? - Of course I could bartend.
Mr.
Biggins, you are talking to a man who once sold ice to an Eskimo.
Hey, buddy.
You guys sell ice? You're an Eskimo, aren't you? Yeah.
I know.
Thirty-seven words for snow, whatever.
- I'm in a middle of a party.
Ran out of ice.
- Is the party in your igloo? No, it's in my condo, and that's offensive.
Seriously, can you just sell me the ice? I got, like, 12 people waiting.
Thanks, man.
Just gonna sneak in here.
No one will be the wiser.
Ow! Bitch.
Drat your weights.
MAN [ON TV.]
: Spike TV's Hundred Most Jarring Noises! - Number 57.
Fifty-six.
- No, no, no.
[WOMAN SCREAMS, THEN JACKHAMMER BUZZES.]
- Fifty-five.
Fifty-four.
- Quiet.
Quiet.
[BIRD SQUAWKS, THEN CAR ALARM WAILS.]
- Gonna wake the Shut up.
Shut up.
- Fifty-three.
Fifty-two.
[PEOPLE SINGING, THEN BABY CRYING.]
What the hell is going on down here? Cleveland, where have you been all night? You caught me.
It was gonna be a surprise but for the next three months I'll be, um, taking night classes to earn my degree as a court stenographer.
What? Why? Because sometimes, a man's gotta earn a little extra money for his family by typing on a weird little keyboard.
Well, look at you putting this family first.
Working fingers to the bone, striking things from the record.
Having no visible emotional reaction to often quite startling testimony.
Mm.
My strong, silent court stenographer.
Why don't you bring those fast fingers upstairs and see if your quick brown fox can jump over my lazy dog? I find the defendant, Donna Tubbs, sexy.
Can I get extra time for bad behavior? Here you go.
And remember when it comes to good drinks, you can always bet on Brown.
My name's Cleveland Brown, by the way.
Oh, that's funny.
Ha! He's funny.
You're funny.
Ha! He's funny.
Cleveland, you know Ted Lange? He played the bartender on The Love Boat.
Now he's playing the guy who's taking your job.
I'm also playing Walter Lee Younger from A Raisin in the Sun at the Sarasota Playhouse, July 15 through the 29th.
Cleveland, a bunch of kids were throwing Alka-Seltzers to seagulls on the lido deck.
You're playing the guy who's cleaning up the guts.
Ted Lange can't clean up seagull guts off the lido deck? No.
That's your job.
When you're done, clean the urine troughs under the dealers clean out the cage of the chicken who plays tic-tack-toe.
You know what? Here's how you remember your job.
If something stinks, clean it.
Hey, boss, some bear just voided himself all over the buffet.
Get to it.
[GRO ANS.]
[MUSIC PLAYS.]
Roberta's college.
Cleveland, I'm gonna need you to watch last night's Celebrity Apprentice and tell me what happened.
That's where I draw the line.
Oh, well, someone must not want his paycheck.
What the? Twenty-seven bucks for a week's work? What are you complaining about? You're making the same as the chicken, and she's been here three years.
- Does the chicken have benefits? - No.
Mm.
This country.
Well, of course.
I lose again.
Terrific.
Fantastic.
I'm having a great time.
Oh, look, two eights.
I'll split them, because that's what you're supposed to do.
And lose twice.
Beautiful.
Good.
Take them away.
I'm out.
Fair enough.
Some guys just don't have the stones.
You think I don't have the stones? Guess what.
Stones are on tour.
Next stop, this table.
Paint it blackjack.
He's betting his car? Why didn't I do that? Okay, hit me.
- Hey, what the hell? - Oh, so sorry.
Let me get that.
That's the same Chinese or Japanese or Vietnamese or Filipino or Korean or guy from San Francisco who spilled his drink on me.
Wha? A crooked casino? Sorry about that.
Here's your card, sir.
Holt, no.
No, not my car! Apollonia! [CHICKEN CLUCKING.]
Hey, now your sports coupe is a chicken coop.
Shut up, Tim.
Hey, Cleveland, I was just telling the ladies how you're four weeks away from being a stenographer.
Donna, about that, there's something I have to tell you.
I haven't been going to night school to be a court stenographer.
Sweet peas and Jujubes.
As a matter of fact, I've been spending my nights at the Bigg Nugget.
Sweet ham and braised lamb.
I took Roberta's college money, I gambled it all away.
Since then, I've been working nights at the casino cleaning up tic-tack-toe-playing chickens and slaughtering horse after horse to make the money back, but it's just not happening, Donna.
I'm sorry.
Sweet grass and succotash.
Sweet beans and din Get ahold of yourself.
Thank you, but you do that again and I will smack the taste out your mouth.
Not the taste.
You stole my daughter's college money? Have you lost your damn mind? I was swindled, and they got Holt too.
- The baby man? - Yes, the dealer had a plant.
And the plant spilled a drink.
And when he spilled the drink, the dealer switched the shoe and [GRO ANING.]
They got you with the old Lone Star wet pants.
Used to do it all the time when I was a dealer in Monte Carlo back in 1962.
I had to lay low for a while because Mrs.
Kennedy was starting to get suspicious.
But it turned out to be a blessing because that's where I met my first husband Baron Heinrich von We don't have time for your stupid story.
In 1962? How old are you? Fat don't crack.
The point is, you got screwed, dude.
I know every scam in the book.
Then you could help get our money back.
All three of you could.
How would you inconspicuous hausfraus like to be Cleveland's Angels? - I'm down.
- Let's do it.
[SINGING.]
Na-na-na-na-na-na Lucy Liu My baby's going to college.
CLEVELAND: Once upon a time, there were three little girls who it wouldn't kill to miss a meal or two.
And they didn't look good in athletic clothes.
I rounded them up and now their big butts work for me.
Ugh.
My name is Cleveland.
Okay, all set.
- Angels? - Hi, Cleveland.
- What? - We said, "Hi, Cleveland.
" Angels? It's Cleveland.
Oh, right.
Baby monitors are only one-way.
We don't want babies to hear us.
Ha-ha-ha.
Can you imagine? Okay, Angels, here's the plan.
Donna, you're gonna play a sexy siren who'll flirt with Slim Biggins to keep his attention away from the table.
I happen to know he goes for big-boned, middle-aged black women with kids.
Arianna and Kendra you two will be a couple of high rollers from Odessa and Corpus Christi, Texas, respectively.
Kendra, you'll go over to the table and start counting cards.
Arianna, you pretend to get drunk and wait for my signal.
You're kind of thin to be from Corpus Christi.
Pitter-patter, let's get at her.
Here we go.
As Kevin Spacey said to John Travolta, "I'm all in.
" Before you go, have I showed you my babies? The left one is Rallo and the right one is Roberta.
That's a perky set of children.
Oh, Slim.
Oh, I'm so wasted.
- You drunk bitch.
- Oh, let me dry you off.
My gambling trousers.
Hit me with that four of clubs.
Four of clubs for 21.
[CHEERING.]
What the hell? I'm sorry, Mr.
Biggins, but I think this woman was counting cards.
- Hello, Russell.
- Kendra? It's been a long time.
You look tremendous.
So you're still counting cards? - You two know each other? - We was business associates.
Russell was the bureau chief in Rome when I was all set to star in Fellini's Kendra, we don't have time for your stupid story.
Oh, so the three of you are in on this together? And the bear.
And unless you want her to tear your ass up you'll let us walk out of this place.
That's right.
She was only pretending to be drunk.
Cleveland, is rum alcoholic? You're drunk.
She's drunk.
I'm drunk.
Anyone have any drugs? I'm gonna go find some drugs.
Looks like you're not going anywhere.
Not with my money you're not.
Miss Bazoombas, Ted Lange.
[ENGINE REVVING.]
KFC you later.
Get in.
Let's go, dude.
What are you doing? We're not gonna clear the river.
We'll never make it to the road.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.
Holt, you're crazy.
Ha-ha! Crazy like a fish.
Good work, Angels.
And after all that, Holt's car turned into a submarine and we got the hell out of there.
But the important thing is, we got your college money back.
Why? I'm not going to college.
I'm going to Hollywood.
