- Good.

I like the orange,

Good. All right.

You gotta
get rid of the cherries
and lose the banana.

Cherry and banana? But that's
a little buñuel, a little dali,
a little-- you know.

No, that's a little too overt,
you know? We should go
a little more subtle.

I think some women
might get offended.
All right.

But I dug it. I dug it.
Don't make that
"he didn't dig it" face.

I dug it. Just got a little
nasty, like you always do.

Great.

Hey, you.
Now, don't be mad--

Can I explain to you
what happened? Have you
been watching the news?

Oh, then you haven't
been watching the news.

The big accident in midtown,
where the cabs busted
into the other cab...

And knocked it into the bus
and the water main busted.

I was in that. You haven't seen?
It's on the news right now.

Oh, just went off.
Channel four, just went off.
Yeah, but I was--

No, I'm cool.
I'm all right, yeah.

My neck's a little stiff,

Oh, that too.

Can I call you next week?
Cool. Later.

Casting for

Uh, tell the fellas
I might be a little late
for lunch today.

Yo, man, I saw somethin'
on cable last night. Freaked me.

There was this woman, right?
Baby had bo-dy.

She was lyin' there,
totally naked, right?

You could see everything.
But she had a dick, man.

Fucked me up!

It was a-a 976 number
for hermaphrodites--

You talkin' about 976-dick,
"chicks with dicks"?

- Ewww!
- [ scoffs ]

How could you put something like
that in your mental rolodex?
He's a closet freak.

- You got problems, man.
- You're comin' out!

- Yeah.
- No, man, I was just,
you know, kidding.

Oh, man.
Yo, that ain't regular, man.

See, sometime I feel like
there's a whole world out there
we don't know about.

Like the shit
you read about in penthouse.
That never happens to me.

Man, stuff like that
never happens to anybody,
except for marcus.

Hey, the only reason stuff
like that happens to me is
I pay attention to women.

- Y'all don't pay
attention to women.
- Whoa, I pay attention.

You have to watch them
and study their moves.
Get outta here, marcus.

- Yo, I can't do that, man.
- That's why you don't get
no pussy.

- Exactly.
- Hey, tyler, there's other
things in life besides sex.

Come on. How about
sharing, commitment?

You got to get in touch with
your feminine side, like me.

Startin' to sound
a little on the soft side.
Startin' to sound soft.

- Borderline bitch.
- You know what your problem is?

You need more romance
and less doberman pinscher.
That's what you need.

That's true. That is true.
You have too much dog and
no romance in your life.

Whoa, marcus,
don't even try that, all right?
You ait got no romance.

Uh-uh-uh, excuse me. Excuse me
I am the most romantic cat
both of you know.

- [ groaning ]
- uh-uh-uh!

When I meet a woman,
I am flowers, I am candy,
I am soft music.

- And mr. Milk bone.
- No, I am mr. Romance
when I meet a woman.

And then once I hit it,
I lose interest.
But that ain't my fault.

Oh, so, in other words,
right at that moment of orgasm,

Just all the romance
just skeets right out of you.

But you can't put that on me.
The onus is not on me.
Hi.

- Hey, hi. How are you?
- Good. Thank you.

- Where are you from?
- I'm from holland.

Nice meeting you.
Nice meeting you too.

- Bye.
- Bye-bye, cuteness.

I'm, I'm from detroit.

That shit made me mad, man.
Bitches never do that to me,
man.

Well, maybe it's because you
call them bitches all the time.

Yeah, man.
You need to straighten up,
show some respect. Come on!

Yo, man. Excuse me.
Excuse me, waitress?

Yeah?
Look, um, I ordered
the duck, right?

Yeah.
What vegetable
comes with that?

Ooh, that's a good one.
It's saued asparagus spears.

And it is good.
It's our special.

Oh, yes.
Delicious.

That sounds good.
Oh, god.
You'll love 'em.

Bye-bye.
That sounds good.
Thank you.

"that sounds good."

What?

Why don't she just come out
and call us jungle bunnies, man?

- What? What?
- Asparagus spears!

Oh, christie, no.
It's just too soon.
I can't--

I just don't want
to be hurt again.

I won't hurt you.

Please be gentle.

Yo, man, so what happened
with this girl last night?

Man, she was beautiful!
She was beautiful,
but her feet were jacked up.

Were they?
Yeah. Oh, I pulled
the covers back--

Yeah?
It was hammer time.

I should've known somethin'
was up. Her shoes had little
bumps on the top when I met her.

But I thought maybe
it was an old shoe or somethin'.

You would never, ever
think a woman that fine would
have hammer time in her shoe.

Come on, man. You don't
fuck her feet. Damn!

I hope I'm not out of line,
but don't you think you're being
just a little bit too picky?

Yeah, right.
What happened
with tracy, man?

Gerard, you met that girl.
She's not very smart.

You don't fuck her brains.

Oh, if you were a guy.
Not that I have those

But I'm just saying
she's attractive, and I would
probably go out with her.

"oh, she's cute."

But guys don't see

"oh, look at his shoulders."

We don't do that.
Sure you have.

And you've seen a man

are colleagues,

And I have a great deal
of respect for her
as a person.

It's professional.
Totally professional.
Remain professional.

So what you sayin', man?
It's gonna take a week?

Not you, marcus!
You the man! Come on, man!

- I hate it.
- But this fragrance
tested very well.

Jacqueline, I said I wanted
the essence of sex!
Yes--

Well, I think this is it.

You would.

But let me show you...

[ gasps, murmurs ]
what I'm talking about.

- Unbelievable.
- This...

Is the essence...

Of sex.

Voila!
[ laughing ]

Whoo!

Oh, lloyd, come on.
Lloyd. Wait, lloyd!

Who is this?
Lloyd! Hey, man.
Hey, lloyd.

[ shouting continues ]
lloyd, lloyd, wait.
Wait, wait, wait. Hold it.

Come on, man.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

The fragrance is fine.
Nobody's changin' anything.

That woman doesn't
deserve her own fragrance.

Do you think liz taylor
would've thrown her panties
in my face?

You can ask her, lloyd.
It was a joke, lloyd. It's--

Ha-ha, ha-ha. I'm just
trying, I'm bein' funny.

Come on, hey, look.
Come on, all right, lloyd?
[ laughing ]

Oh, marcus,
you're a devil!

But I love you.
Come on back.

you make me feel ridiculous!

It is mon image!
C'est mon visage!

Allure! And you,
where you been, you?

I had to go--
oh, shut up!
Look at this!

This is ridiculous. Why are
my concepts being ignored?

I'm not a fool!
I know what the people want!

They want to be shocked,
and they want to be stunned...

And they want to be jolted.

So, I've prepared a list
of names for the fragrance.

"wet spot." no, sorry.
I crossed out that one.

"love puss." "pig puke."

- "afterbirth."
- after what?

After... Birth.

I'm sorry.
I thought you said "bath."

No. It's english.
B-I-r-t-h. Birth.

I was just making
a distinction between
"birth" or "bath."

Birth, birth, birth! Whoo!
[ strange ]
thank you, darling.

Don't make fun of me, okay?
My english is not so good.
Ow.

"steel vagina."
you understand that one.

- Yeah.
- Steel vagina. Marvelous.

What do you think?

[ clears throat ]
I--

Uh, those
are really creative.
Oh, thank you.

But, uh, the name of this
fragrance has to be something
that, that catches the eye.

It has to incite passion,
and it has to--

It has to be electric,
and it has to say glamour
and it has to say sexy.

It has to say smart.
It has to-- it has to, uh--

Wait a minute.

Strange. Stran-- your name
is all of those things.

You're-you're powerful.
You're glamorous. You're sexy.
You're intelligent. Stran--

That's what we should call
the perfume! Strange! Strange!

Strange.
Strange.

[ all agreeing ]
strange. Strange.

Okay, okay, okay.

I like it.

You know, um, thank you for
introducing me to gerard.

We're going out tonight.
Oh, now that's
some good news.

That's good news.
Great.

You realize we're never
gonna be able to control
her, don't you?

Why would you want
to control strange?

Just let her do what she does,
and we'll get more coverage.
Strange is buck wild.

[ laughs ]
yes, you're probably right.

So listen,
we've got this meeting
in new orleans on the 24th.

All of the sales reps
are gonna be there.
Mmm.

There's a lot of work
to be done between now and then.

Hmm, yeah. Okay, so, we'll
have dinner or something
and go over it.

Marcus.
What?

Come on.
Oh, stop. Ha-ho-hold on.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

You're-- wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

If we were both men,
we're colleagues, we could
have a business dinner.

You're the one flipping this
into a man/woman thing.

I just said dinner, and
let's discuss our workload.

That's what
I'm talking about.

Just dinner?
Just our workload
over a meal.

We've got
a hell of a load.
Okay.

Dinner?
Dinner.

Okay, I'll see you

you ain't hit the twizzer!
Not a drop.

Twizzer? What's that? Another
one of your colloquialisms
for a vagina, tyler?

I know what
you're gettin' at, man.

You think just 'cause
I have a low sperm count
that I can't function normally.

But, see, I don't know
why it's low. It should be high.
You ain't shootin' nothin'.

Ohhh, man, will you stop?
Leave the brother alone.

You shouldn't
make fun of the afflicted.
He got a problem.

Yeah, he got a "handicapped"

Stop that, man!

Home. I have to give
a speech in the morning
to the board of directors.

But thank you.
You were great.

God, marcus, I was so tense
when I got off the plane,

But you really relaxed me.

So, mr. Graham,
thank you.

You really have to go?
Mm-hmm.

I'll call you
sometime tomorrow, okay?

Get some sleep.

You are really great in bed.

Oh, jacqueline told you

You really know how

No man can turn down this pussy.

Pussy.

Marcus graham,
what did you say to her?
What did I say?

Do you realize
that I heard this woman
screaming from the bathroom?

How dare you discuss what
I do with you in bed sexually
with that woman?

As soon as you leave the room,
she starts going on about how
she wants to fuck me.

How could you talk
about what I do with you
with this woman?

She said that?
Yeah, she-- and I know
you said it, 'cause--

She's a little off.
She started talkin' about how my
ass moves. I know you said it.

Listen. Don't expect me
to sleep with people
for business reasons, okay?

You did with lady eloise.
Excuse me.
That is a rumor.

We do not know if I slept with
lady eloise. I had a chitchat
with lady eloise, okay?

Oh, please, marcus.
Oh, god.
"oh, please," my ass.

Don't discuss what I do
with you with other people.

[ jacqueline ]
I'll handle this.

[ horns honking ]

Okay, strange
what's the problem?

What problem?
I'm not going.

Now, listen. You're gonna
have yourself on the plane,

Or I will not only take back
the million or two
I am paying you,

I will sue you for
every goddamn dime you've got.

Now, do you understand that?

Andiamo.

What an absolutely
exhausting evening, huh?

To tell you the truth, marcus,
I don't feel very well.

Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.

You made me feel dirty, and I
don't believe this whole thing
is happening to me, okay?

Look at you. God, marcus,
getting yourself all upset
and worked up over nothing.

Nothing? That's what sex is to
you? Nothing? Whatever happened
to caring, sharing, commitment?

I know it sounds old-fashioned,
but some people still think
things like that are important.

You've made it painfully obvious
that you not one of them people.

Well,

Why don't I give you a second

- And as your lover, I thank you
for ruining my life.
- Oh, come on, marcus.

I didn't ruin your life.
You ruined your life.

I said this was gonna happen.
I was just hoping it didn't
happen with you.

The only thing
that I can suggest is...

Perhaps you should
take a few weeks off.

Okay.

[ church bells ringing ]

There's this one kid
that you are gonna love.
He is so cute.

He's really gonna

I am not gonna

Cupid has his foot in my ass.

I have the cure for cupid,
all right? Now, when I have
problems with my relationship,

Which is most of the time,

I find out that it's better
to take the focus off myself...

And put it to others.

I don't wanna be around
no kids. I wanna go home
and sit in my house...

And look at the walls
and listen to sade.

That's what I wanna do.
And that's fun?

No, but that's where
my head is at right now.
That's where I need to be.

I don't wanna go in here

paint my miseries away.

Hi, angela!

Ank you. Everybody,
this is mr. Graham.

- [ all laughing ]
- who did that?

These children are kids that
I teach art to whose schools
can't afford an art program.

Oh, so nice.
Now, remember last week,
we saw--

I'm gonna
whoop somebody's ass.
Sit down, marcus.

Remember last week,
we looked at collages
from romare bearden, right?

[ all ] yes.
And this week,
what were you supposed to do?

Bring your own collages.

And this is a big, giant, huge

this is what's gonna happen...

To people and animals
if we don't fix up

You oughta like this, kenny.

What a lively little thing
you are.

- Okay. Tell us about this.
- This is my house.

This is the sun.

This is a sphere,
and this is a shield.

Then we have--

Then, right here,
is my fishbowl.
And this is blood.

Then these are my clothes.
And these are the fish.

Why-- this is the fishbowl
up here, right? And these are
the fish and this the floor.

Why aren't the fish
in the bowl?

Because I don't want them there.
But they can't
live on the floor.

Art can be very abstract.
It doesn't have to make sens
only in the artist's mind.

Thank you, khanya.
Thank you, khanya,
for your interpretation.

[ angela ]
okay. Who's gonna be next?

You cannot tell me
you did not have fun in there
with those kids.

I ain't sayin' it wasn't fun;
I'm just sayin' I wasn't
in the right mind-set.

Mind-set? What do you mean? You
didn't think about jacqueline
one time while you were there.

That's true.
And I bet you didn't think about
the strange commercial either.

Right?
You're right. The kids are more
inspirational than I've been.

Thank you.

I got an idea.
What?

I got an idea
for the strange ad.

Okay. Slow it down.

I'm trying to impress you.

I know. Now, where'd
you get the mushroom shirt?
I got to know.

Well, the secret is,
you got to coordinate.
Uh-huh.

See, you got to coordinate.
That's what you did.

Interesting.
See, I told you
they don't stink
when you pull the membrane out.

- Mama!
- See, when you saw me,
you saw the mushroom shirt.

I said, "mushroom shirt."
bang! Mushroom shirt. You can't
stop with the mushroom shirt.

You gotta go on.
I'd have stopped
at the shirt.

No, you gotta keep going.
Let me show you something.
Look at that.

Oh, you got on a mushroom belt.
Gerard, did you know your pops
had a mushroom belt on?

- Yes.
- But you don't stop there, see?
You gotta keep goin'.

What you got?
A mushroom ring?
Yes. Good idea.

Look what I got.
Dah! Gerard,

Did you know on the inside
was special mushrooms?
Yes!

Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Simply delicious, marcus.

I keep tellin' your mom
she should take some
cooking lessons from you.

All she do is cook pork.
I'll bet we've eaten
everything on the pig...

From the rooter
to the tooter.

- The whole pig, huh?
- You didn't marry me
for my cooking.

You got that right, baby.

- Private school got him
all "sadiddy" like that.
- Yeah, man. Chill.

It's your father. Mr. Jackson,
angela made this meal. It wasn't
me. I can't take credit for it.

[ mr. Jackson ]

[ mrs. Jackson ] very good.

Hmm. Good pick, junior.
[ gerard ]

I told you
that angela and I
are just friends.

Mm-hmm.

Yes, just friends.
Just friends.

Leave it alone, hon.

500 times. Just let it go.

Fine.
We change the subject.

Now, marcus,
I hear a girl at the office
got you pussy-whipped.

Why don't you--
[ sucking teeth ] reverse it?
Don't be pussy-whipped.

Whip that pussy!

- Look. Bang, bang, bang, bang,
bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
- [ mrs. Jackson ] ooh, daddy!

You really insist
on standing around all day
with a long face, all right?

Man, my parents

So what?
Well, they been in there

Damn. Goodness.
What's for dessert?

Wow.

Let's go. Let's go eat, man.

Are you sure you don't
want me to go with you?
No, no, no. That's all right.

I'd better run my parents home
before ty embarrass me
any further.
Okay.

hear the little frenchman
screaming "magnifique"...

With a little bead
of sweat runnin'
down his face, man?

- I knew I had that cat.
- Marcus, you are
incredibly talented.

Well, I thank you.
Lady eloise thanks you.

Tell her I said "hey."
I'm sure strange...

Would like
to thank you personally.

- Yeah, she'd like
to thank the hell out of me.
- [ laughing ]

I have to say,

It's very nice
to have the old marcus back.

I was kind
of worried about ya.
Really?

You seemed, um--
you seemed so--

- I don't know.
Can I be honest?
- Please.

Well, you seemed desperate
and unsure of yourself.

[ chuckling ]

Pathetic?
Aha.
Kind of pathetic.

Uh-huh.

Look at you now.
You're, uh--
you're relaxed.

You're more confident.
Just like the man
I met in that elevator.

I got it goin' on again.
Yeah, you do.
I like it.

I find it
very attractive.

How'd it go last night?

It went okay.

Just okay?

It must've gone pretty well.
You didn't get home
until the middle of the night.

I went for a walk
so I could sort some things out
that was in my head.

- I was trippin' on it.
- Like the fact that you're
still in love with jacqueline?

Angela, I saw the woman,

And a bunch of stuff that
was in me I didn't even know
was still there came out.

Things happened, and--

There's certain things you just
have no control over, all right?

Really? Like what?

Like love.

Love?

You know,
what do you know
about love?

What do you possibly think
you know about love?

You know, I'm sick and tired
of men using love like it's some
kind of disease you just catch.

Love should've brought
your ass home last night.

Didn't you just
hear me say I was sorry?
I heard you say you're sorry.

You're sorry, and you're tired.
You don't love me.
You don't love jacqueline.

- You only love your damn self.
- How could you say
I never cared about you?

Jacqueline says
I'm a better person now,
and I owe that all to you.

I'm outta here.

I'll get the rest
of my things later.

Let me just tell you
one more thing. I might
not be all glamorous,

And I don't have hair weaved all
down my back, but let me tell
you one great thing about me.

I've got a heart.
And you know the bad thing
about having a heart, marcus,

Is that it gets broken
when you deal with people
like you.

Now, stay thfuck
outta my life!

[ thunderclap ]

She left you, huh?

Yeah, she did.

[ sighs ]
I guess I should feel happy,
but I don't.

I hate to see
another person
in pain.

Well, thank you very much.
That's very nice of you, yvonne.
Good night.

So, uh, would you
like to come over
for a cup of coffee?

Not even if jesus
was pourin' it.

Some motherfuckers are so blind
they can't see a good thing when
it's starin' them in the face.

Why don't you just
lift your black ass
off the ledge and fuck you!

Refer to it and show me

This is way off.
We are not gonna shoot this
until it's right.

Angela!
Come on!

Hi. We're lookin'
for angela--
forget that.

What?

Um, excu me
for a second, please.

What are you two doing here?
Angela!
Angela.

I haven't seen you in so long.
Four months and two weeks,
to be exact.

Thank you.
We miss you.
Where have you been?

I miss you too,
and I've been working.
I got this new job.

It's very demanding,
and it requires long hours. I
haven't had time to teach class.

I'm sorry.
You always had time
for us.

[ chuckles nervously ]
I know.

Let me
tell you something, okay?

You know what I had to do?
I had to rearrange
my priorities in life.

Angela had to start
lookin' out for angela.

How'd you get here,
anyway?
Our new teacher brought us.

Your new teacher?
Well, where is she?

- [ both ] he.
- [ angela ]
well, where is he?

Um, I think
we best get goin' now.

Good-bye,
my queen.

Okay.
Peace.

My brother.

That's pretty low,
using the kids, marcus.

What else could I do? Look,
I been sending you letters,
angela, and I know you got 'em.

Mm-hmm. I'm just
not real big on words
on paper these days.

Okay.
I know I fucked up.

You're damn right,
you fucked up.
You hurt me.

I miss you.
No. I really, really miss you.

I've never missed anybody
in my life, and I miss you.
I'm in love with you.

This isn't about your love. It's
about the fact you can't love me
the way I deserve to be loved.

That's what this is about.
You think I'd come down here
and bother you...

Unless I was ready
to be everything you wanted
in a relationship?

I want to be straight up
about everything. I want to
have a monogamous relationship.

You are my best friend.
I'm miserable without you. I
even quit my job because of you.

Did I ask you
to quit your job?

Why you doin' this?
Doing what?

Being all stiff and cold
and hidin' behind your work.

I'm taking care of
my business, and I suggest
you take care of yours.

Listen,

I know having a great job
is cool and all of that,

But you used
to have a good time.

You used to be with these kids,
and me and you used to have fun
and we had a great life.

- You had everything.
- Give me one reason why
I should take you back.

One.

I didn't think you could.

Do you still love me?

'cause I love you so much.

I miss you.

I'm scared.

And I'm miserable.

I can't breathe without you.

I can't breathe.
I can't breathe.

Now, we should just go to
your place and get your things
and go to my place.

No, no. I'm not moving into your
house this time. I'm staying
in my place with my own things.

I want 24/7. That's
how committed I am.
No, no, no, no.

No, no.
I'm not doin' it.

If you even turn
and look at her,
I will break your fuckin' neck.

I'm not lookin' at that woman.
I was lookin' at this woman,
thinkin' about the future.

That's you in 15 years.
You better still
love me in 15 years.

Did you see?
She's by herself.
