That was good.

You asleep?
Mmm.

Huh-uh.
Tony, no.
Not with my roommate
in the room.
I'll make it quick.
Tony, will you

Aw, damn it.

What's wrong

What the fuck are you doing?
Doing all the pushing?
You're taking
too goddamned long.
Too goddamned long
to do what?
What you think?
I don't know,
you tell me.
I thought you was going
give me some...
Give you some...
You know, some...
Mm-mmm.
Huh-uh.
Huh-uh.
Could i just touch you?
Could i just touch you?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
And thank you.
- You're welcome.
- It was good too.
- Mm-hmm.
- It was really good.
But that was your fault, baby.
I didn't ask you to do that.
But you didn't
put up a fight.
Well, damn, baby,
if you're gonna offer it,
It's not like i'm gonna
refuse it.
And you obviously liked it,
so don't be mad at me
Because i don't feel
obligated.
That's fucked up.
No, it is not.
What is fucked up
Is that you want me
to do something that
i don't wanna do.
- I wouldn't do it to you.
- Yo.
So how come
you don't wanna do it?
It's just not me.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Hmm?
Tony.
Baby, you mad?
Are you mad?
You know you can't
be mad at me.
I don't know
why you playing.
You know you can't
be mad at me.
you already know
the answer
started putting
me down
i like the way
you call my name, baby
when i'm making
love to you
i'll be waiting for your
call, girl
tell me what you want
me to do
i'll bet you never had
another
brother like me
a brother
like me
i'm the one
you're dreaming of
a special kind
of brother like me
a special kind
of brother like me
i'll bet you
never had another
brother like me
i'm the one
you're dreaming of
a special kind
of brother like me
a brother
like me, girl...
What the fuck
are you doing?
What's the matter now?
You know what?
As you were,
tony.
Why are you acting
like a dick tease?
You know what?
Go on to the bathroom then.
End all your business,
player.
I give you permission.
What are you--
Here.
Go ahead.
I suggest you do that
before it goes limp.
Damn.
That's cold-blooded,
brother.
Let's go to line one
and talk to the people.
Baby, you are
talking for women.
Uh, i don't think
women should do that anyway,
Because it's not clean!
I mean,
it's like a kid...
My brother don't want
to take care of the child.
And my wife...
- You look sexy when you're mad.
- I am not mad.
- You're mad.
- I'm not mad.
You know,
i'm mildly amused.
Stop lying.
You're mad.
I'm not. You know what?
I'm the one who told you.
Why am i mad?
Mad.
Oh, so mad.
- You know what, tony?
- Shh.
I heard them shake
something.
No.
Why don't you
shake something?
Damn.
Fuck. Mmm.
Shit.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Don't stop.
What the fuck?
What the--
i
love this
the way you
touch me
i wanted this
just like that
and you're giving
it up to me
i've been needing
you, baby
so badly
that i can't speak...
baby baby baby,
i remember you
by the way you walk,
by the way you move
baby baby baby,
i remember you
your chocolate eyes
can kill my blues...
Shit.
Hey.
I gotta go
to the bathroom.
Hold it.
You want me
to pee in the bed?
Ew.
See?
Okay.
- Go to the bathroom.
- All right, wait.
Hello?
Yeah.
No, not yet.
I gotta-- I gotta go back
for a conference call
And then a short
meeting after.
Okay.
Yeah, we can do that.
That's good.
All right. Cool.
I'll see you then.
Yep.Bye.
Hey.
I gotta go.
I'll call you
later, okay?
D'andre.
D'andre.
D'andre.
D!
Yeah.
What's up?
- Come here.
- I'm here.
Come on.
See?
I already--
I know what you--
I don't want you to go.
- I don't want you to leave.
- I gotta go.
- Stay.
- I know, but i can't.
I gotta-- I gotta go.
- Come on.
- Babe.
Starting that stuff
again.
Hey. Hey.
Hey.
Helena.
Helena,
come on.
Wait wait.
Whoa, come on.
No no no.
- Wait, helena. Wait.
- Mm.
Oh, shit, baby.
- Girl, stop. Okay?
- Wait, helena.
Oh, shit.
Baby, stop.
- Wait.
- Okay.
I called you back
'cause you forgot your phone.
I mean--
Yes, i said stop,
but i didn't mean like stop.
- I just--
- Then that's date rape.
- Come on, you--
- No means no, right?
You know you had
no intentions to finish it.
How are you gonna start
something like that
and not finish?
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Well, look down
at my man and you'll see
what i'm talking about.
Oh, is that why
you look so stank?
- Mr. Hit-and-Run?
- That's not even
the same thing.
You're wrong for that.
That is--
I don't have a lot of time
in the day.
- I told you that.
- You had time to come
get some pussy.
Why is your mouth
so foul?
Huh?
Man, that's--
It's not like that
and you know it.
Actions speak louder
than words, d'andre.
Here we go.
Shit.
So what you got
planned today?
- You got some
extravagant plans?
- I don't know.
I just figured
we could go out and eat
or something.
You invited yourself over.
Okay. Here we go
right here, i got it.
Me and you
tomorrow, we--
Tomorrow-- Tomorrow,
we can--
We can go out and eat.
Your restaurant,
your spot, you choose.
Tomorrow.
I promise.
Me hungry today.
- And you're already here.
While you're here
you should just hang out.
- Really?
- Really.
It's a special
occasion.
I will cook you
breakfast.
Since when do you cook?
You're here,
i will cook.
How about that?
I'll cook.
- You gonna cook?
- I'll cook.
All right. All right.
I'll stay a little while.
Little while.
Only if you really really
need me to.
You do need
me to, right?
Mm-hmm.
I don't wanna
keep you here.
- But wait wait wait.
- No, you wanna go?
You should go.
- We can go--
- Ciao.
You still sitting there?
Be out.
You gotta go.
What you still
doing here?
I thought you left
a long time ago.
- You're funny.
- You're funnier.
Mmm.
That looks good.
For the food
we're about to receive
For the nourishment
of our body and our mind,
In jesus' name.
Amen.
All right, let's eat.
Mmm.
Mmm.
- D'andre.
- Mm-hm.
- Do me a favor.
- What?
What? What?
All right.
There you go.
What's--
What's the big deal?
Please?
Come on, man.
What difference
does it make?
I'm saying the reality
hasn't changed.
- I take this--
- It makes me happy.
- You know what?
No biggie.
- Uh-huh.
Everything
to your liking?
Yeah, you did your thing.
I'll give you that.
Come on. Tell her
to stop calling.
Damn.
Don't do that.
I can make you
eggs.
Hello?
You want some eggs,
baby?
No.
No. No, i'm here.
Yeah.
No no, man.
We can't do that deal.
This guy's 20g short.
Unless he comes up
with his end, that's
the only way.
Yeah.
No, i tried to explain
this to him.
I mean, he understands.
There's no mystery.
What are you--
You advocating for this guy
now or what?
No. For sure.
All right, good.
You want your bacon?
I gotta go.
I'm gonna head out.
Thank you
for breakfast.
Where are you going?
Right now?
Why are you leaving?
'Cause i gotta go.
Why?
What's the problem?
Today is a work day for me.
You realize that, right?
- No.
- No?
I came here from work.
I gotta go back to work.
Are you coming back?
- No.
- Why?
- Not today.
- Later tonight?
It's not gonna happen.
Tomorrow i'll call you
though, all right?
What?
Whatever. You and your
business day.
I'm not your wife,
d'andre.
You don't have to give me
your work speech.
Oh, it's apparent
that you're not my wife.
If i wanted my wife,
I'd be home with my wife.
All i've been doing for the last
hour is telling you
Why i gotta leave,
and you're constantly stopping
me from my agenda.
You have a problem
with me cooking?
This ain't got nothing to do
with you. I gotta go.
You ain't said
you ain't had long--
It don't matter.
If i say to you i gotta go
Then i have to go.
Why do i have to explain
that to you 100 times?
How is you callin'
and invitin' yourself over
to my house my fault?
All i'm simply doing
is explaining to you what's not
feeling right for me right now.
And you still haven't
done that. What does
not feel right to you?
Because you're doing more
talking than listening.
You got a problem
with breakfast?
You should be receiving
instead of broadcasting.
Oh, you're not worried
about it now, huh?
You don't wanna hear
what i've got to say now?
It don't have nothing to do
with what i do.
I'm on the phone
and i'm having
a business call
And you got the nerve
to talk while i'm talking.
How am i
supposed to know?
You speaking while
i'm speaking.
- I'm sorry about that.
- Making snide comments
while i'm on the phone.
I'm sorry about that.
I apologize.
- It won't happen again.
- Right right.
Therefore it should all
be good now, right?
That's it?
- You apologized so...
- That's all that i see
as the problem.
Something about being
real literal about this day.
It's just the overall
energy in this day has been
- Real real brand-New.
You got this--
- You are so extra.
Oh, i'm extra?
I'm extra?
You're the one that barely
came before you answered
the phone.
Business call?
You couldn't even halfway
take a piss
Without the daggone voicemail
indicator going off.
- Business call?
- That's bullshit right there.
- Oh, that's bullshit?
- Yeah, that's bullshit
right there.
What i say?
Not your whole speech?
You making it like
because it's a business call
- That made the difference.
- That did make the difference.
It makes more of a difference
if it's not a business call.
No it doesn't.
See? That's the problem
i have,
Because now you're moving
Into a whole 'nother
area of things.
- I don't know what you mean.
- You don't know what i mean?
That's straight up
disrespect.
And i apologized.
You rocking the boat.
You being dramatic.
I'm not rocking the boat.
I apologized. That was wrong.
You got this real
funky-ass energy going
on with you right now.
Why i almost had to wrestle
your funky ass ring
off your finger?
You wanna start with that
and we can work our way down?
Yeah, because you act
like because my ring is
not on my finger,
That somehow, i'm not
married, right?
You don't think
that i know you're married?
- I hope you don't
lose sight of it.
- How could i not?
Your wife reminds me
that you're married.
I really could give
a fuck about the ring.
It's tradition, okay?
When you come over here,
the ring goes off.
That's it.
That's all. But not today
for some special reason.
But I'm brand-new?
What's up with that?
That's not new energy?
Nigga, please.
Come on.
Wait, what part of the game
are you missing?
Are you delusional?
You don't get that every time
i come here
To oblige you,
i take my ring off?
- Oh, you're obliging me
when you come over?
- Yes, I'm obliging.
That's you.
That is your baggage
that you're removing.
Yeah, you do wanna ride
with this guilt trip now?
I'm not tripping.
That's what it is.
I am your fantasy, okay?
And i love that.
I make you happy
when you come over here,
You get away,
and that's what we want.
You called and invited
yourself over, i cooked,
Now you got beef.
What's up with all that?
You got a problem
with me trying to make
you happy today?
- That's what i thought.
- I can't do this, man.
- I can't do this.
- But you're doing it.
- You're continuing it.
- You started it.
- I started off
trying to tell you--
- You stood here
And started it
with the big dramatic pause
And the big "brand-new."
- But you're not with it.
- I'm gonna holla with you
about this later.
D'andre, you are not
gonna call me later.
Again,
I mean, i don't know
why i even speak to you.
What you mean, you don't know
why you speak to me?
- Because you don't
believe shit,
- What does that mean?
I'm telling you
what's going on with me,
and you ain't--
Because i know you're lying.
I know you enough to know
when you are lying.
And you're lying right now.
You're not gonna call me
back today.
Yes, i'm gonna answer
my fucking phone.
I'd appreciate
if you keep your mouth
shut too.
Speaking.
Yeah.
Cool. Yeah.
Okay, all right.
I'm going.
All of a sudden the phone
is a problem.
The phone rings one time,
the phone rings 20 times,
it's a problem.
But you're tripping like
Something's changed.
All this arguing,
bitching and moaning--
I get that at home.
I don't need that here
with you.
I'm amazed at how
disrespectful you've become.
This shit is just--
It's amazing to me.
- You say you want one thing,
But i can't--
I can't imagine
you really do, man,
The way you've been
behaving this day.
But it's cool.
If that's what
you wanna do.
Are you talking to me?
I thought you were
still on the phone.
What did you say?
I was trying to be
respectful.
That's what i thought.
Hello?
Hello?
I'm sorry, i must
have the wrong number.
Who are you looking for?
- Excuse me?
- Did you call d'andre?
Yes, i did.
Who is this?
This is helena,
who is this?
- This is his wife.
- Oh, he just left.
Did you wanna leave
a message?
Who is this?
Helena.
What's your name again?
- Bitch, i know you know me
by my first name.
- Who? Who?
- Jade.
- Oh, that is such
a pretty name.
Bitch.
You are so far
out of line, right now.
I wasn't trying
to be out of line.
I apologize.
- You're obviously
looking for him.
- Apology not accepted
Because i know damn well
you know if i call my
husband's phone,
- I was not calling for you.
- I was trying to help out.
I didn't know.
Oh, thank you.
I'm really trying
to understand...
- I do what i can.
- ...why my husband was
with you today?
Maybe you should
ask him.
I'm asking you, bitch.
You're the one who answered
the phone.
I'm not the bitch.
I think you got the wrong
number for real.
You have a problem
with your husband,
not me, cow.
Well, is there something
i can help you with?
Hey, you know what?
You know what?
You know what?
How long is this
been going on, helena?
About eight months, jade.
You love him?
Maybe.
Do you?
What the fuck do you think?
What do you think?
I took the ring,
the last name,
The bills, the debt,
the child support,
everything!
Yes, i love him.
How would you feel if
somebody came and destroyed
your family?
Think about my children.
Think about how they're
gonna feel.
You're fucking
my shit up.
Hey, baby, it's me.
Let's do lunch
or something tomorrow, okay?
- Call me.
Hey, this is
my second message.
I know you pretend
to be busy with your job
that you're never at.
But call a sister back.
I wanna talk to you.
Bye.
Okay, dre, what is
with the ice?
I don't understand
why you're not returning
my calls.
This is call three.
It should be strike three.
You're acting like an ass.
You know my number.

so bad
won't you come
around here?
no games...
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
Watch it, girl.
Good, though.
- Watch your manners.
- What?
Why do you want
some of my fries?
'Cause i want some.
Okay, just 'cause
you want some-- Give me
some of your fries.
I don't have anymore,
that's why i'm asking you
for some of yours.
- Oh.
- Come on.
- You're not gonna
let me have none?
- No.
- Damn, you stingy.
- I ain't stingy.
You ate all your fries.
You wanna get my fries?
You can share.
You didn't share yours.
You ate all yours.
You didn't ask me
for none.
- Unreal.
- Oh, man, you're wacked.
Oh, i'm wacked 'cause you
ate all your fries?
It's my fault--
Look!
Oh, you're a liar!
You just put one in your mouth.
- That was
the last one i had.
- The last one?
- Ooh!
That was the last one.
I'm glad i didn't give you
none of my fries.
It was hid up
under my chicken.
Man, whatever.
Whatever.
It was hid under the chicken.
I didn't know i had no more.
Man you're-- Ooh!
You're a liar.

You're cheap.
Stupid.

Hum-uh.

Quit.
Oh, you ain't seen

To take your medication.

"Love, tam-tam."
Leave it up there

Let me get one

A young, sexy,
Talented, black,
phenomenal woman
Who has 365 more days
To figure out me.
Ain't that something?
What's your contribution

- Oh, what's my
contribution?
- Huh?
I'll show you
my contribution.
There.
That's my contribution--
A rice krispie treat.

You looked like

- Ha ha.

I'm sorry.
I'm being a ass.
Yeah, you are being

Don't touch me.

Either you give it up

Either you give it up

It's your choice.
I've tried
to be nice to you.
What's it gonna be?
I missed you.
Oh, yeah.
Oh!
Whoa.

That thing

I don't feel
comfortable doing it.
Baby, i want you

Really?

So what do you know
about this song you

My mom,
She used to play it for
me when i was little.
You know i didn't know
my sister had such...
Interesting friends.
- You don't remember me, huh?
- Huh-uh.
We had a conversation
once,
A couple of years ago
at meagan's birthday party.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
I probably
look different now.
- You know...
- What?
I remember when you used
to pick meagan up in
the sixth grade.
- Oh, no.
You had this old
green big bucket.
Oh, no.
Meagan used to call it
the puke machine.
- Wow.
- She would cuss up a storm
Every time you pulled
up in that thing.
It was terrible.
It was more
than terrible.
Don't clown now.
- You was walking.
Dang.
I can't believe
you don't remember me.
I only lived a couple
of doors down from y'all
Before my grandmother
moved.
- Where?
- In the green house.
I was the short little girl
with the bangs
Always running around
the house?
Did you use
to have braces?
Oh, god.
Yes.
Oh, my...
look at you.
Girl, you were tiny.
I mean miniature.
Oh, please.
You used to give
high-fives to your barbies.
- That's cold. Shut up.
I'm gonna get you
for that, watch.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
All right.
Damn.
All grown up.
All grown up.
- Almost.
- Just a little.
Mmm.What's wrong,
little boy?
Huh?You just wanna
be sleeping, huh?
I know.
I know.
Mm-hmm.
Your son's so cute.
Ain't he?
- He get it from his mama.
So how old are you now?
Damn. You old.
- That's old?
- Mm-hm.
- Okay.
So what do you do?
What's your contribution?
What's my contribution?
That's an interesting way
to put it, you know?
I'm a freelance
accountant.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Boring.
So what do you do, like,
punch buttons all day?
I don't punch buttons
all day.
I do, like,
bookkeeping
And payroll stuff
for other corporations
and businesses
When they need
extra manpower.
- Oh, that's cool.
- Yeah.
It's boring.
And what about you?
What's your contribution
to the world?
I'm still
working on it.
I mean, you're
a singer, right?
Oh, that would be nice.
I mean, you sing well,
so why don't you sing?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Well,
I'd like to do it
for a living, but
I wanna be realistic
and go to school and get
a degree or something.
Yeah yeah.
But realistic ain't no fun.
Tell me about it.
Don't give up
on your dream, baby.
What do you mean?
I mean, you have
a beautiful voice.
You should use it.
I mean, i'll get
the album.
You will?
I mean,
maybe i'll download
it, but i'll get it.
- I'm playing.
- I will remember that.
Although you probably
won't.
You know, when i make it
as a big recording artist,
I'm gonna need
an accountant.
You know, to count
all my cheddar and stuff
When my dough
starts to flowing,
you know?
You want the job?
I don't know.
You gonna pay me right?
I'll hook you up.
I mean, i gotta get
my cheddar too, right?
- I got you.
- Okay.
You know i wanted
to thank you for...
Picking me up tonight.
I know you didn't have to
And i really appreciate it.
You're welcome.
What am i gonna do?
Leave you on the street?
Happy birthday,
by the way.
Oh, thanks.
- Julian.

It's okay, i know.
Shh.Shh.
You know,

No, what do you mean,
why don't i just
understand?
All i'm asking you
is come to the fireworks
with us.
You ain't doing nothing.
I could see if you were busy.
- It's not that important.

It was nice meeting you.
Bye, baby.
Bye, see you later.
Bye, pumpkin.

See ya.
- Well, say hi
to your mom for me.
- I will.
- Who's that guy?
- Tracy's new boyfriend.
Excuse me.
He doesn't look too happy
about that.
Julian doesn't know
about him.
That's why
he looks so pissed.
That's what he gets.
Just a little bit.
Don't piss him off any more
when he gets in the car.
I'm not gonna say
anything.
one more hour,
the last hour
gotta thank
obatala for this one
clarity
'cause if i had
just one more hour
what am i gonna do?
What you gonna do?
run a mile?
Eat a good meal?
call up a friend?
i wrote these rhymes,
i was inclined, my daily time
fans read my mind,
were written on a page
performed onstage,
i channeled my rage
like you were in a daze
was what i went through
worth all that i owned?
what hurt so much
is that i was all alone
i mean, i have some friends,
i earned some things
even without good men
i still kept it moving
without a good man
i still kept it moving
i'm not trying
to make excuses
Mm-hmm...
i called him a liar,
i love him a lot
but he ain't all
that i got
furthermore,
he was not available
i sit and i prayed
and my god would say
it'll be okay
love be coming
with each day
if he's the one
it's not about the wait
it's about
the arrival
these men can only focus
upon their own survival
your love is valid,
but it's new to the palate
don't get so mad,
it's just his habit
so i left him alone,
i let myself to roam
these new york streets,
these new york beats
and through
all the defeats, the tears
on the bedsheets...
Sorry.

- No, it's okay.
I think I had enough.
