      Louis Hinds: [opens the door for Floyd to leave] get the fuck out.

      Floyd Henderson: Well, I guess you don't give a fuck about the money then, huh?

      Louis Hinds: What money? It's a funeral! Don't nobody get paid to sing at no damn funeral!

      [suddenly looks at Louis and raises his eyebrows]

      Louis Hinds: How much?

      Floyd Henderson: Forty grand.

      Louis Hinds: [closes the door] Apiece?

      Floyd Henderson: No, down the middle.

      Louis Hinds: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO. That ain't even enough.

      Floyd Henderson: The fuck you mean "that's not enough", man?

      Louis Hinds: I got a lifestyle to maintain here!

      Floyd Henderson: What kinda lifestyle, man? You filthy motherfucker! You got a pantry full of dogfood, but I don't see no dog!

      Louis Hinds: Dog under the bed, Nigga! You lucky he ain't attacked your ass when you came in!

      Floyd Henderson: YOU THE DOG, MOTHERFUCKER!

    Its A Funny Movie!
    These are some smoooooth dudes!

    Great little film that has good music and good laughs, the first comeback show is hilarious.
