The Janky Promoters Script - Dialogue Transcript

Voila! Finally, the The Janky Promoters script is here for all you fans of the Ice Cube and Mike Epps movie. This puppy is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of the movie to get the dialogue. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and all that jazz, so if you have any corrections, feel free to drop me a line. At least you'll have some The Janky Promoters quotes (or even a monologue or two) to annoy your coworkers with in the meantime, right?

And swing on back to Drew's Script-O-Rama afterwards -- because reading is good for your noodle. Better than Farmville, anyway.

Nah, l got to make some runs today.

  
- How you doing, Ms. Ann?
- Hey, baby.

  
You see that blue car up the street?

  
Yeah, they still up there.

  
Goddamn Feds been messin'
with me all morning.

  
Bitch can't make
a decent dollar nowadays.

  
You wonder why?
Y'all need to slow down.

  
You know what l mean?

  
Women your age should be
thinking about menopause.

  
Y'all been slinging crack
since the '60s, Momma.

  
Boy, don't ever let me see
you fix your mouth to say that.

  
Me and Ms. Ann
been slinging since the 'GOs.

  
Double-ups, half ounces,
ounces, grams, kilos,

  
burrs, chickens, eagles,
bricks, boulders,

  
cake, weight, hard, soft.

  
However you want it, nigger.

  
Fish scales! Whatever.

  
Just hit me on my Blackberry.

  
See? Y'all getting too old
for this shit.

  
What do you want?
You fixing to get on my nerves.

  
You breaking my concentration.

  
Y'all know tonight's the night,
right?

  
No. To do what?

  
I do that big show over
at the Mercy Theatre tonight.

  
Well, what do you do?

  
l'm a promoter, Momma.

  
Me and Jellyroll, we been doing
this for, like, four years now.

  
Well, you must not be any good.
Why we ain't heard about the show?

  
'Cause y'all are too old
to be worried about hip-hop.

  
Y'all need to be worried about
when Al Green coming to town.

  
Well, can l tell you no
right now before you ask,

  
'cause l know what you want.

  
Come on, Momma. Look.

  
All l need is a one-day loan,
the kind you be giving out.

  
How short are you?

  
Now, l got to pay for the building,

  
l got to get the hotels,

  
and, you know, these rappers
be having all kind of requests,

  
so, you know,
we about 9500 in the hole.

  
Ninety-five hundred!

  
Why don't you spend your Aruba money
instead of wasting it on Aruba?

  
Now, you know
i cannot spend that money.

  
That's my wedding money, okay?

  
lf l spend the Aruba money,
ain't no reason to go to Aruba,

  
'cause Loli ain't gonna
marry me anyway.

  
What's wrong with being single?

  
I ain't never been married,
and I'm cool.

  
Momma, you got to stop hating
on my relationship.

  
You sound like a bitch.

  
No! The answer is no.

  
Me and Ms. Ann got
to re-up tonight, Mr. Promoter,

  
so think of a new one.

  
Just because l told you
your daddy might be Don King

  
don't mean you gotta be running around
acting like you some damn promoter.

  
Well, maybe it's just in my blood.

  
Yeah, well, whatever.

  
See you at church tomorrow.

  
See y'all at church.

  
- Hey, baby.
- Drive!

  
- What's the matter?
- Drive, man!

  
- What's going on?
- Would you drive?

  
It's going down around here.

  
What's the matter?

  
Oh, man, that nigger Ronnie Stixx
tried to kill me again.

  
You fucking all on his wife, man.

  
But not all the time.
Every now and then I'm hitting it.

  
- Still hitting that.
- What's happening?

  
I'm gonna need half
of your money by show time,

  
or at least by sound check, man.

  
This building owner is on my ass.

  
Every five minutes he calling me
about that money.

  
Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah.

  
- You got your half?
- I got my half.

  
- Cool, cool.
- When you gonna have yours?

  
After I go pick them up from the hotel,
I'm gonna have my half.

  
What the ticket sales looking like?

  
Ticket sales ain't doing too good.

  
- What?
- Shit, we in Modesto.

  
Everybody know
this is a walk-up town.

  
This is a word-of-mouth town.

  
Word of mouth
you know what I mean?

  
That's just how the town is.
This is Modesto, man.

  
This is where people come
when they on the run from the police.

  
All right, man.
Keep your ass in the car.

  
You know you're in the computer.

  
- May i help you?
- Hey, hey, hey.

  
Hey, there, Chris.

  
l work for a company
called Russell Redds, Inc.,

  
and we got
a 15-passenger van reserved.

  
The confirmation number is B2TT54.

  
Okay, Mr. Redds.

  
I'm gonna need a credit card
and driver's license.

  
Of course you do.

  
Got that right here.
How are you doing?

  
Good, good, thank you.

  
And did you want insurance on the van?
That is an additional cost.

  
Oh, yeah, you know,
give me full coverage,

  
everything you got.

  
Okay, let me set that up for you.

  
Set that up for me, Chris.

  
What do you mean?

  
We're gonna have to charge you
a cleaning fee.

  
A cleaning fee? I ain't never
heard of no cleaning fee.

  
The last two times
we rented you vehicle

  
- we found paraphernalia inside...
- What kind of paraphernalia?

  
Uh, marijuana.
That's what l have on record.

  
Look, you know what,
just to be honest, Chris?

  
The cabin smelled like marijuana
when we got it.

  
l'm just putting that out there.

  
- I'm just putting out a cleaning fee.
- Yeah, okay, whatever, man.

  
Oh, and this credit card is maxed out.
Do you have another one?

  
- Wait a minute, man. l can't be--
- That's--

  
All right, man. Shit.

  
Try this one, and then
if that don't work, try that one.

  
Interesting.

  
Y'all throw in the navigational system
with that too.

  
- Yeah.
- Yeah, we want that.

  
- We want all that.
- You got it.

  
Thank you.

  
Where that little cute thing
that used to work here?

  
She's gone. We found
marijuana in her car too.

  
She probably the one
who put the shit in my van,

  
but l ain't gonna say
nothing about that.

  
PERCY: Let's do this, old man.

  
C.W.: Modesto, baby!

  
PERCY: Do what it do!

  
JEEZY: Where that weed at?

  
Yeah, man, I'm wondering

Let's get this money first.
Worry about them broads later.

  
I'm trying to--

  
Modest-hos!

  
Hey, smile, dog.

  
They act like they ain't never

You need to go to the mall.

  
You're probably gonna wear

They threw my son's CD

Slung that out the window
like a Frisbee.

  
I thought a dog was gonna
catch it.

  
Catch that motherfucker

If it's a rap show,

Who are these goddamn promoters?

  
Don't they know l've been

You look like a lying motherfucker.
What you want?

  
I don't know what's happening here,

  
but i'm focused on what we need,

  
and that's that Hennessey

Get the fuck outta here.

  
Can't you see us having
this conversation about the show?

- Liquor, man? What the fuck--

  
I'll talk to you in a minute.

  
Scram.

  
You know what? Fuck it.
No Hennessey, no show.

  
Ain't got time for this shit.

  
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Now, that's what Jeezy said.

  
You know, i mean,
i'm just the messenger.

  
If i was the rapper, I'd say,
"Can we have a Hennessey, please,"

  
'cause that's what's on the rider.

  
You tell that motherfucker Jeezy
that we'll think about it.

  
Yeah.

  
Okay, thanks.

  
- Hey, Percy.

I'd rather stand.

  
Whatever you want, bro,
but you don't look too good.

  
Forgot to bring my medicine.

  
- You know l'm a diabetic, right?
- No, l didn't know that,

  
but l do know that you suck
at being a promoter.

  
I don't want to hurt
your feelings or nothing.

  
You're not gonna make it.
It's not gonna happen.

  
Look, man, some
of our shows worked.

  
Give us some credit.

  
But most of your shows
do not make money,

  
because you and Jelly Rat
don't know what you're doing.

  
- Jellyroll.
- Jellyroll, whatever.

  
What the hell's wrong with you,
man?

  
You all right, brother?

Don't let him in, all right?
Just tell him l'm working on it.

  
Thanks.

  
Thank you.

  
Gotta pat you down first.

  
Are you serious?

  
That motherfucker ain't

What the hell's going
on around here?

  
What you mean what's going on?
These are all my people.

  
We kicking it. It's show time.

  
You got bodyguards, entourage.
There's strippers in there.

  
There's motherfuckers that didn't pay.
That's coming out your money.

  
You getting a massage?
What's going on!

  
Don't worry about nothing, Pops.

  
I heard that Puffy,
Jay-Z, and Andre 3,OOO

or five massages a week.

  
That's just how us rappers do.

  
Are you crazy? Nigger, they rich!
They got money.

  
You ain't got nothing.

  
I got talent.
That's all the money l need.

  
- Are you high?
- No, i ain't high.

  
- Havee you been drinking?
- No.

  
Look here, man, don't play
with me with that talent shit.

  
I done told you already,
talent don't make money.

  
Money make money.

  
- I got you.
- Okay?

  
All right, man,
but forget about that.

  
Look here, man,
how many songs can you do?

  
I got six albums' worth
of rhymes. Why?

  
I need you to go on there
and do more than 20 minutes.

  
I got it. I can go all night
if you need me to, just like Kanye.

  
Look, i'm Yung Semore,

and they fiendin' for it,
i'm-a let 'em see more!

  
Hey, yo, Big D.
Can you escort my dad outta here?

  
You don't let nobody in here
without my approval.

  
Nigga, nobody want to listen to me.
They'll learn. I'll start firing people.

  
I still don't understand why we
had to park so far down the street.

  
'Cause i'm the promoter.

  
I don't want nobody to see me
pulling up in that Rent-a-Van.

  
Ooh, Regina...

  
I'm Jellyroll Entertainment,

  
and you looking like one of the
girls off The Flava of Love,

  
RONNIE: We gonna settle
this right now.

  
It's your husband!

  
Get down.

  
Come on, girl, run!

  
REGINA: I'm running. I'm running!

  
RONNIE: Regina, l love you, baby.

  
It's me. Oh, yeah, it's me.

  
REGINA: Don't kill him! I'm sorry!

  
Oh, baby, come back! Please!

  
I just want to cuddle. Come on!

  
Come back! Stop!

  
Going down. Yung Semore's

I'm feeling good, i'm looking good,
and i'm smelling wonderful.

  
RAPPER 1 : Yo, all right!

  
- RAPPER 2: Tear it up.
- You ready, man?

  
I don't know, Dad, man.

  
I don't think l'm ready.

  
All them people out there,
i don't know if they're feeling me.

  
What happened to all that swagger
you had in the dressing room?

  
I learned that from 50 Cent.

  
Look, man, you can
name every rapper

  
and what they had for breakfast,
but what about you?

  
Man, you can't be no regurgitated MC!

  
You got to be an original.

  
The people, they want
an original, all right?

  
Now, you Yung Semore, right?
Modesto's finest, right?

  
Well, then act like it.

  
I'm-a go out there and announce
that Yung Semore's in the house

  
and he about to tear
this motherfucker up, right?

  
- Right.

Stop acting like a bitch
and come on. Hit it.

  
Ready on the curtain and a spot.

  
All right, remember what i told you?
Clap, clap, clap.

  
Hey, now. Yo, yo.
What's up, Modesto!

  
How y'all doing?

  
Not this nigger again.

  
Are you all ready to see
Young Jeezy?

  
Yeah, before we bring out Jeezy,

  
i'd like to say that this show
was brought to you

  
by Russell Redds, Incorporated,

  
in conjunction with
Jellyroll Entertainment,

  
and you know we bring
the finest show--

  
- Fuck that!
- Hey, man, be nice.

  
None of that bullshit, Modesto.

  
Don't embarrass me up here, now.
Don't embarrass me.

  
Before we bring out Young Jeezy,
i got a treat for you all.

  
Y'all know who he is.

  
Y'all done seen him since he
was yea high to a horsefly.

  
He better than Jay-Z,
he better than Little Wang

  
and Kanye West put together.

  
Y'all give it up for my son,
Yung Semore!

  
Give it up! Give it up!

  
Uh, let's go.

  
Jeezy down in the building.

  
What's happening, Modesto?

  
I go by the name of Yung Semore.

  
Make some noise for me. Yeah!

  
We're gonna do it like this.

  
How's everything going?

  
How the fuck you think, man?

  
Where you been?
Where the group?

  
I went up to the hotel.
They wasn't there.

  
Did you call?

  
I called up there.
I ain't get no answer.

  
Fuck it. Come on.

  
Hey, Percy, man, our reputation
in Modesto is in jeopardy as of now.

  
Okay, call me back, brother,
please.

  
Please, brother, please.
Call me back, brother, please.

  
Damn, why you didn't call me?

  
Man, Regina's trifling ass
came over there

  
and put it on me and had me
in the bed for about an hour.

  
Shit.

  
Okay, what time did you
get to the hotel?

  
I got there about 9:OO, 9:30.

  
Look, i already see
where you're trying to go.

  
- It ain't my fault.
- It is your fault.

  
I don't know how,
but l know it's your fault.

  
- Don't start.
- Why you bring Mondo into--?

  
Mondo wanted to invest
with Jellyroll Entertainment.

  
- Mondo?
- You just mad 'cause i got investors

  
and you ain't got none,
going on with all that.

  
Twenty Gs, dog?
You don't need 20 Gs!

  
Don't worry about the internal affairs
of Jellyroll Entertainment.

  
Like i said, all you need to worry
about is that Aruba money.

  
Stay out of my goddamn business.

  
Can i ask you just one thing,
FYI, okay, for your information,

  
- or just for my information.
- Come on with it.

  
How the hell you gonna get Jeezy
to show up at some after party

  
if he won't even show up
to our show?

  
You just stay out of my business.

  
Just worry about that Aruba money.

  
Your business is my business!
Remember that!

  
Yeah, Yung Semore
in the building, baby.

  
No passes?

  
Dirty motherfuckers.

  
Bitch, how much for 2T tickets?

  
Don't do this, Percy.
We got the people out here.

  
They waiting for Jeezy.
There ain't no Jeezy, man.

  
Call me back, man.
I'd really appreciate it, man.

  
It's Russell Redds.
Call me back, brother, please.

  
Please, brother, please.
Thank you.

  
I fucked up, huh?

  
Yeah, you did.
That ain't business, man.

  
You should've handled business.

  
I know, i know.

  
- That ain't business.
- I know.

  
Damn, man.

  
Oh, there they are.

  
Hey, Jeezy, baby! Hot damn!

  
Look, man, you scared
the hell out of us.

  
Where you been?
Where Percy at?

  
Had a little situation
with my road manager, man.

  
Hey, man, fuck all that.

  
You were supposed to be on stage
about an hour ago.

  
You're very unprofessional.

  
Unprofessional? I'm here now,
nigger.

  
Gentlemen, we don't need that.
How much time you need?

  
Ten minutes. Hey, but where
the rest of that paper at?

  
Oh, now, look, man.
You secure now.

  
We got your dough.
We ain't no small-time dudes.

  
- Okay.
- We've been doing this a while.

  
We got your money.
You secure on that.

  
But i wanted to talk to Percy
because earlier, at sound check,

  
he promised me and Jellyroll
that we probably could get

  
a slight discount
if the house wasn't that full.

  
Now, look, we got a 3500-seater.

  
Now, it's only about 52T.

  
Something like that,
ballpark figure.

  
So i was just wondering
if that little discount still rang true.

  
You saying that to say what?

  
I'm saying that, you know,
you got all these platinum plaques.

  
I thought you was bigger than that.
I thought you could fill the house.

  
I am bigger than that. Maybe
y'all should be better promoters.

  
And you're saying that to say what?

  
I'm saying it to say
I want my fucking money.

  
Let's roll, man.

  
We got your money.
That ain't shit.

  
Little old chump change.

  
Man, you ain't got to be
all hostile like that.

  
You have a nice show.

  
Yeah, have a nice show, brother.

  
You need to freeze some of that
meat on the back of your head.

  
Get off the stage!

  
SEMORE: Somebody say yeah.

  
You see the look on that
motherfucker's face when i told him?

  
"l thought you
was bigger than that."

  
No, did you see
the look on your face

  
when he said that you was
a sorry-ass promoter?

  
You looked stupid
as a motherfucker.

  
Just give me the money
so we can pay these clowns.

  
I-i-i tried to tell you
when i pulled up, man.

  
I tried to tell you
when i pulled up.

  
Regina's husband tried
to run us over, man.

  
What's that got to do
with the money?

  
Look, i tried to offset it,

  
'cause I thought we was gonna
have a walk-up crowd.

  
You started yelling at me,
and then i messed up money.

  
Come on through.
What that got to do with anything?

  
What that got to do, man?
Look, look, look, don't tell me.

  
Don't tell me. Jellyroll,
do you have this man's money?

  
No, i don't have the money,
but...

  
This watch.

  
Oh, man! I don't give a goddamn
about that damn watch.

  
Oh, Lord, no...

  
Come on, man, the Lord ain't
got nothing to do with this.

  
Jesus Christ.

  
Oh, man, don't tell me you
gave up this man's money!

  
You know i mess up money
all the time!

  
That ain't business!

  
I've got a sickness, man!

  
That ain't business, man!
Goddamn!

  
Yo, what's popping?

  
After party.

  
Y'all ready for Young Jeezy?

  
You're gonna see
Yung Semore right now.

  
Yeah, what's up?

  
Yeah, man, we need to
holla at Jeezy.

  
Yo, it's the promoters.

  
Let 'em in.

  
I knew there had to be a mistake.

  
- What's happening?
- Hold on, hold on.

  
Yeah, right there.

  
You got to treat a nigger like he's
on The Price Is Rightt or something?

  
Damn, baby.

  
We good?

  
Picnic-tablecloth-shirt-wearing
motherfucker.

  
- What's happening, baby?
- What's going on, man?

  
Show time, baby!

  
Modesto's finest, huh?
What's up with it?

  
Oh, it's packed.
They ready for you, Jeezy.

  
- Bunch of bitches out there?
- I got one just for you.

  
- Okay, that's what's up.
- How much time you need?

  
About five minutes.
He tightened me up.

  
Okay, cool, just have
your people let me know.

  
I'm gonna be right there
by the stage. I'll bring you on.

  
That's cool, but let's take care
of this business. I got that paper.

  
I want to put it up anyway,
so let's get that.

  
We just need to get you
on that stage,

  
'cause it's a union building.

  
We get you on that stage,

  
and i hit the box office
and check your receipts.

  
Receipts? Who y'all think
y'all dealing with?

  
Wait a minute, Jeezy,
don't insult us like that.

  
We done already took a loss.

  
BOTH: You can't be a boss
until you take a loss.

  
Bottom line.

  
That's on y'all.
That's your fault, not mine.

  
Why you all let them in anyway,
man?

  
Hold on, hold on!

  
Let me talk to my man
for one second.

  
You got mo seconds.
Go ahead, take your time.

  
Okay, looky here.

  
Nigger act like he ain't never
performed for free before.

  
Ain't that a bitch!

  
- Say what?
- The watch.

  
- With the big face?
- Yeah!

  
- Nigger, please!
- We got to pay him!

  
I have my half of the money.
Where your half?

  
It's in that motherfucking watch,
and we got to pay him.

  
I knew you was gonna do that.
I knew you was gonna do this.

  
You know how many numbers
i done got with this motherfucker?

  
- Oh, i love you, baby.
- Give it up.

  
Hey, come on. You done good.

  
Hey, G, i think we got
your problem solved.

  
We can pay you with that.

  
What the fuck is that?

  
What kind of watch is that?

  
That's something special.
That's a Genev...

  
Let me see.
Yeah. That's a Genitalia!

  
Genitalia.

  
A lot of rich white men,
they know about that.

  
You probably don't know
about that.

  
How much did you pay
for the watch, man?

  
- I paid 13,OOO.
- Thirteen Gs.

  
- You paid 13 what?
- Thirteen cold cash, baby.

  
Did that nigger have a gun
when he sold you this shit?

  
Man, you got robbed.

  
You not about to rob me with that.

Oh, l forgot--

  
Hey, hold on!

I know it, man.

  
I want to take full responsibility
for tonight, man.

  
I fucked up. I should've paid
Jeezy his money, man.

  
That's all there is to it.

  
No, no, i'm glad you didn't
pay them niggers shit,

  
'cause if you'd have paid them
and they went on,

  
we'd have still took a loss, man.

  
Shit, might as well

I'm just mad i spent my Aruba money
on some damn rap concert.

  
Yeah, you did.
You fucked up on that for real.

  
Yeah. I ain't the only one
fucked up.

  
You fucked up bringing
Mondo into the picture.

  
Motherfucker almost
decapitated me!

  
You know me.
I mess up all the time.

  
You need to worry about
Loli killing your ass

  
about that wedding money.

  
I got a perfect solution.

  
I'm out of the game, Jellyroll.

  
Don't try to talk me out of it.

  
We're not doing this no more.
This shit don't work for us.

  
No, no! How you

We Modesto's finest,

Don't nobody come to town

You're the best, man.
It's in your blood.

  
- It is, man.

Just the man I wanted to see.

  
What's happening, Mondo, baby?

  
Thanks for getting Jeezy

Looks like we are
better promoters, though.

  
Wait, you saying that to say what?

  
Your shit was empty,
and our shit is packed!

  
Beginners' luck, baby.

  
You gonna need a few more years in Devry
