Everybody, listen up! - Come on, man.
All that whistling and stuff this morning, it's too early.
- We have got to get this place up and running.
We got to get this place moving, so I can start
making me some money.
Now, I don't mean making money next week or next month.
I mean, making money today.
- Why do you get to be the coach?
- 'Cause I'm the one that invested
all the stacks on stacks and the racks on rack.
Remember $40,000?
- No, my grandfather invested money here, too.
How come he don't get to be the coach?
- Mm-hmm. - Only thing Vinny need to be
coaching is some mouthwash in his mouth.
Breath smell like two dead skunks.

- Now, the inspector gave us this report detailing
everything that the state requires for full certification.
Okay, a nurse, cook, landscaper.
Last but not least, a wellness coordinator to help maintain
the physical and spiritual wellbeing of all our seniors.
- Seniors? Where the S come from?
The only resident we got in here is Mr. Reginald.
- Exactly, but as soon as we start filling the jobs
on this list, then we can start filling all the rooms.
Okay, now we got to hire a nurse here.
And the rest of the positions can be filled
by every able body in here, including children.
- Now, alright, now hold on, Mr. Brown.
So I'm sick of this little inspector guy, right?
So they can do their chores, but they not on the payrolls.
We gotta watch these child labor laws.
- You're right. You're right.
Okay, that's why Philip, he can, uh, do his history report.
- LEAH: Yes, he can. - And then Sandra
just let her finish her college application.
- Perfect. - Alright, so the first job
we need to fill on here is cook.
- Ooh, ooh! I'll be the cook!
- You'll be the who? - I'll be the cook.
- Have you ever cooked for googles and googles
of hungry people?
- Jeremy, kids-- - Hmm-mm.
- No. No.
- Okay, listen, listen.
Vinny used to be a cook on a Navy ship.
I'm going for experience right here.
Okay, which leads me to my next position--wellness coordinator.
- Ooh!
That I can do, honey. [laughs]
- You--you can do that? - Uh-huh.
- Have you ever, uh, put together a menu
or done anything that deals with people that, uh,
eat applesauce all day?
Who take frequent naps?
Who barely make it to the potty?
I don't think you do. - Who here does?
- Uh, Cora.
Cora used to be a schoolteacher.
See, dealing with old people's kinda like dealing with kids.
- I can be the landscaper, though.
Like, I know I got what it takes to mow a lawn.
- You got what it takes? - LEAH: Yes.
- You know the difference between crabgrass
and Bermuda grass?
Do you know the proper water temperature for the sprinklers?
Have you ever trimmed the hedges into exotic birds?
I didn't think so. Jeremy, you the landscaper.
- Ah, Mr. Brown!
He don't know what he doing either.
- Yes, he do. - No, he don't.
- The other day? - Uh-huh?
- My barber couldn't make it,
so I asked Jeremy, "Can you just trim me up
and shampoo my beard?" Look it, is it white?
Is it trimmed tight?
Jeremy, if anybody know how to trim this stuff,
it's Jeremy. - Okay, count me in.
- Alright, let's go kick a field goal...
or throw a touchdown, or let's go hit a homerun or something.

It's Alabama, it's the South, I mean--

Eggs over easy,
grits lightly salted with a dash of pepper.

six quarters, two nickels, and a dime.

Dr. King and I were friends.

Where's my daughter?
I will--I will go help Sandra with her college applications.

Yeah, she's in her room writing an essay now.

I--I invented exercise.
- So you know yoga, Mr. Brown?
- Yes, Cora. Cora, "yogurt."
"Yogurt" is, uh--that's where the people act like they

They like zombies. - You do not know any yoga.
It's yoga. - Okay, Cora.
I'll tell you what I'mma do. - What you gonna do?

If I do a good job exercising the people, I get the job.

When they use that bathroom right there,
they get free toilet paper.

"intelligent, caring, and an unparalleled role model,
