him he ain't the manager brooks you are you supposed to be looking out for them what you want me to do we just want somebody to be straight with us the boy's been working so hard seems like there should be some money coming in from somewhere somehow you know what i'm saying cal thank you don't make no damn sense they got a number one record video on tv interviews and magazines and we see it on food stamps let's go to school can't even afford to buy lunch now how you think that makes them feel man i'm doing my best i ain't never dealt with no record companies and lawyers and things like that before my job is to get them ready to perform well maybe we should hire somebody who knows what to do as soon as school lets out the boys are going on their first tour they got dates all across the country shoot the label even got them going in germany and england so them being on the road and album sales i assume y'all gonna get some money right now hold tight that's all i'm asking okay be patient patience is a virtue okay [Music] better see some damn money thank you ladies don't make no damn sense punk ass [Music] manager [Music] [Applause] is it seems to me [Music] it used to be [Music] i oh you [Music] are you my friends me oh i need [Music] is [Music] is she told me it would happen when i was much older know wow [Applause] ah welcome back home fellas [Music] i really wish we didn't have to come [Music] back [Music] you expect for us to split a check for a dollar 87 cents are you serious about this how the hell you let this happen i didn't let nothing happen i'ma tell it to you like it was told to me it's called recoupable expenses the record labels charge the artist for all the money that they spend on them they have to pay it back because it is a loan up until when they're making some profits so between the tour the travel the marketing and promotion and all the studio time that's where all the money went that's what it was meant we don't want to hear about no expenses i want to know who took the money because somebody is getting rich off these kids and it sure is hell ain't us all them album sales this all we got to show for it just like you said may maybe we should find somebody who know what the hell hold on yeah why are so quick to jump on my brother shirley what about maurice and what about streetwise why y'all so quick to jump on brooke brooke is the manager and he needed to manage uncle carol and he would not do anything to hurt family rook ain't there something that we can do i mean this is ralph worked really hard at three in the morning when we leave the stage and they gotta get from new york boston to get to school by eight i'm the driver i drive them there i put my money into their outfits i put my money into the food to go in their bellies when they're fighting i'm breaking up the fights i discipline them and i had nothing to show for for the six years i ain't got no money yeah i i spent a lot of money i went in my own pocket because i believe in them and i love them like they was my sons i tell you what let's put it to a vote carol those in favor of fire brook raise your hand carol you right out of my [Music] hand charlie [Music] patricia you know what i'm about to sit here and let y'all do this brooke i'm pulling ronnie out the group no you're not yes i am brooke this ain't right brooke listen this is ronnie's chance to make it out of roxbury i wish y'all success i hope every single one of you are happy nobody happy about this club y'all are gonna thank me for this one day [Music] watch i said i got to tell
