We'll have a little ball before you go feed him.

[TINA, spoken]
He's crying!

Oh, what, you're too good to get down with us?

Come on, Tina. We need you in the studio to record this run for us.

[TINA, spoken]
No, Ike, it's 3:30 in the morning and the baby has been crying all night long.

[IKE, spoken]
Get yo' ass up before I'm making nighttime for good.
