Oh, come on, ref. Where's the foul?

Refs are missing a good game, man.

Hey, I'm ready.

Let's go.

Uh, baby.

Hey, um, you know, I was really hoping that you'd wear that dress that I bought

you last week. You know, I kind of wanted to show you off.

Okay. Okay.

Okay, I'll be right back. Okay.

Wait a minute. You let him tell you what to wear? I find it sexy when my man

dresses me. If I gave Greg that power, I'd be standing here naked. You

practically are.

Don't hate the play, I hate the game.

Hurry. I'm hurrying.

So, you pick out her clothes.

Do you also hand wash your delicates?

Brother, in the 15 minutes it takes her to change, we can watch the rest of the

fourth quarter. Oh, I am not worthy.

That's nothing. If the game goes into overtime, I'm going to hate her shoes.

Anything my girlfriend.

No, no.

Why did you do this?

I was just trying to help you sell some paintings, Greg.

No, not like this.

Only sidewalk artists hang their art in restaurants. I have told you that.

But this is 847.

It's kind of high -end.

This is the kind of thing that can ruin my reputation, T. But nobody knows you

yet, honey.

I guess it's just the two of us for dinner.

Okay. I mean, this is going to throw off my seating chart, but for you, always

we know.

Thank you.

Oh, you know what? I don't want to order from the menu. Can you make that

special pasta I like?

So it's the crab cake and the special pasta.

I didn't ask for crab cake. But I know you want it. You know me too well.

How about you, Sean?

Uh, yeah.

I'll have the mixed green salad and the rack of lamb.

All right. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks.

Joan, what's going on between you two?

What do you mean?

You and David's flirting.

Flirting? That wasn't flirting.

I was just being friendly.

Come on. David's my old friend.

Well, in the course of your friendship, has anything ever happened between the

two of you?

Baby, Dr.

Dunn told us we could start making love again. And you come out of the bathroom

wearing don't -touch -me pajamas.

It's only been a few weeks since the surgery, Darnell.

And just because the doctor said I can do it doesn't mean that I'm ready to do

it. You might want to say those pop -through -the -slot pants for another

Look, I promise you, I will be so gentle, okay? And you can pick the

Well, how about I position myself right here and you position yourself over

there? Come on.

Sweetie, I know you've been going through a lot. I know.

And you're not feeling very desirable right now.

But believe me, you are very desirable.

Thank you. You know,

we can always do that other thing.

Baby, I'm tired of doing that other thing.

Good, because I'm getting carpal tunnel from it anyway.

Guys, Sean flipped out on me.

Darnell is being such a jerk. Greg hates me.

How can anybody hate me?

I've got no man and no problems to discuss. Could these two things be

Who goes first?

Well, since I'm happy and single, I'll moderate.

Uh, Tony, you first, then Maya, then Joan. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Why does

get to go first?

Because if she doesn't go first, she'll spend the whole time pouting while you

and Joan go. Shoot it. Go on, Tony.

Greg is still mad at me because I hung some of his art in a restaurant.

And now I gotta drive back down there to pick him up because he doesn't want to

risk taking his cheap little finger paints on the metro. What's up with

You know,

they are only thinking about themselves.

We are here for you, Tony.

Yes, yes.

Okay, Maya, you go. Joan, you're on deck.

As you guys know, I just had a whole host of medical instruments, nine happy

doctors, and a couple of voyeuristic interns all up in my business, and all

Darnell can think about is when he's going to get back up in there.

But you would think, after seven years of marriage, I would have earned just a

little bit of vacation time.

Men are so insensitive. They are only thinking of themselves.

We're here for you, Ma. Thank you. Oh, girl.

Okay, Joan, you go. Okay, great.

All right, mine's simple.

Sean flipped out on me because he thinks I flirt with Davis.

Well, you do flirt with the man.

Shamelessly. If Darnell flirted like you do, I'd kill him. Okay, what happened

to the men are so insensitive and they only think of themselves and you guys

here for me?

We're just calling like we see them, Joan.

I don't mean to flirt with David.

Now I feel bad. You should.

Now I feel worse.

And I lied to Sean.

I told him nothing happened between David and me.

Should I tell Sean about the kiss?

Honey, my advice is it's best to wait and see how long you can live with a

In my case, I'm taking all of my secrets to the grave.

You know, Joan, why don't you just...

Tell Sean that you slept with Davis. That way when he finds out it was just a

kiss, it'll seem like it's nothing. Okay, that'll never work.

Oh, of course it will. By the way, I totaled your car. What?

Oh, it's just a ding. You what?

You're right, it doesn't work.

Sean, I really care about you.

And I don't want our relationship to be built on a lie.

So there is something between you and Davis? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Davis and I are just friends. He's a nice guy with a nice restaurant, and we

kissed once, and that's just about it. Do you want some more wine?

Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.

Can we go back to the kiss once part? Don't you want to talk about the nice

restaurant part?

No. When did you kiss Davis?

It was Valentine's Day, before he got back from Toronto.

Man, I don't know why I'm surprised at all. I knew something was going on. So

not only did you kiss him, but you cheated on me.

Kissed? Cheat, not sleep cheat.

What kind of kiss was it?

You know, it was just a kiss kiss.

Show me.

What? Kiss me the way you kissed him. I want to see what kind of kiss it was.

Sean, come on.

Okay.

Um, I guess it was kind of like this.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, what are you doing?

I'm being Davis. I'm sure he was into it, right?

Sean, I'm trying to come clean here.

See? Yeah, we kissed, but he kissed me, and it was just in the spirit of

Valentine's Day, and... Okay, look.

You weren't returning my calls, and I didn't know what was going on.

Yeah, well, now I don't know what's going on.

I need a walk.

Excuse me.

Try not to kiss anybody while I'm gone.

And then he said he was gonna go and take a walk.

Oh! Girl, I hate to walk. When a man walks, he thinks, and no good can come

that.

Wait. Okay, he's back.

Hey.

Hey.

I've been thinking. I know.

I want us to go forward with a clean slate.

That's why I told you everything, because that's all I want, too.

Good. Settle. You won't see Davis or go to 847 again.

Excuse me?

No more nice guy, no more nice restaurant.

Okay, wait a minute. You can't tell me what to do.

Honey, if we're going to be together, you have to respect that this is

to me.

Yeah, and you have to respect me when I tell you that I don't have feelings for

Davis anymore.

I'm not going to have us sitting in his restaurant with him looking at me

thinking I'm some punk because he had my woman. Had my woman? You don't own me,

Sean. That doesn't give you free reign to go kissing some glorified short order

cook.

Okay, and what about all the women you had? You have slept with half of L .A.,

and I don't ask you not to leave the house. This isn't about me. This is

you staying away from Davis and his restaurant.

And what if I don't?

Don't test me, Joan. I'm serious.

So am I.

You know what?

You've screwed up every relationship you've ever had. You sure you want to

up another one?

You might want to go for another walk.

No. This one's a drive, and I'm not coming back.

It's been five days.

I haven't called him. He hasn't called me. I hate this.

It's like we're in limbo, not even sure if we're broken up or not.

Why did you tell him about the kiss?

Because Sean and I have something very special.

I think we're falling in love.

And I figured honesty would help us build from a solid foundation.

Well, you're not going to build anything by telling him you kissed another guy.

Now, if you'd kiss another woman, then you'd have his attention.

Okay, you're making jokes, and I'm banned from here.

Why are you here?

Because I'm a mature woman, and he's not the boss of me.

When I chose to be with him, I put aside my feelings for David, and he should

accept that.

And I suppose when Davis decided to be with Ava, he put aside his feelings for

you. Right. Right!

David still wants you. What?

Did he say something? He doesn't have to.

He's a guy, and I know how guys think.

So does Sean.

You see, guys can't put aside their desires like women can.

I love Yvonne, but if I ran into a woman I wanted in the past, I'm still gonna

want her.

Unless, of course, she got fat or had her implants removed.

You're disgusting.

I did not say I would act on that desire.

Because I love, respect, and fear Yvonne way too much for that.

And the feelings are still there.

So if she asked me not to see a former flame, I certainly would understand.

Wow.

You're right.

Maybe I wasn't seeing Sean's side of it.

You know, if during the course of my day I can make one woman realize that she

was wrong and her man was right, I can sleep soundly knowing that I left the

world a better place than I found it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, if I'm not home in time to make Yvonne dinner, she

makes me drop and give her 50.

He makes you do push -ups?

I didn't fully appreciate how much this meant to you.

And I'm sorry I made it sound like I was trying to tell you what to do.

But the truth is, it just... It upsets me that you still see Davis and that you

go to his restaurant. And it would mean a lot to me if you'd stop.

Please.

And when you put it that way, how can I say no?

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

I don't want to fight anymore.

Me either.

You know, relationships are about give and take, so, um, is there something

you want from me?

You could drop and give me 50.

Aw, damn.

See, this is why I didn't want these in here. It's scratched.

Sorry. You want me to help you carry these out to the car? Sure, man. Thanks.

Greg. What?

Nothing.

Tony.

Clay.

What are you doing here?

I saw your car outside.

But the restaurant's closed.

I didn't come here to eat.

I was hoping to run into you. I remember you said you came here often.

Tony, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you.

I don't know what to say, but thank you.

Are these your boyfriend's paintings?

Oh, yeah.

They're very good.

The composition reminds me of Basquiat.

Especially like this one.

Is it to sale?

Ascension, I believe it's still available.

What does he want for it?

Oh, um, it's... Oh, nice watch. Is that a Concord Impresario?

Yes, it is.

Oh.

The painting is 6 ,000.

Okay. I'll take it.

Really? I'll write you a check right now.

Oh, my God.

Thank you, Clay. This is so gross.

Tony.

David is watching the car.

He can help me with these last few.

Honey, that man just bought Ascension.

Tony, I told you. Don't worry. He's going to pay the full $6 ,000 for it.

Have you seen the sister piece, Descension?

Thank you, but this will be all for now.

Thank you very much. And congratulations on getting a really special piece.

Well, when I see something I want, I do what it takes to get it.

New pajamas.

Are they new don't -touch -me pajamas you're wearing, or I'm cold, but you can

warm me up pajamas?

They're let -sit -and -talk pajamas.

Well, I hope you kept the receipt.

You know what, Darnell?

You need to be patient, okay?

You know, I talk to all my girls, and they all... Oh, ho, ho, hey, wait, ho,

You talk to your girls about our business?

Yeah, I have... to talk to somebody because you're not hearing me. No, I'm

hearing you. All I'm hearing is no.

I'm not saying no to you, Darnell. I'm just saying no to sex right now.

Fine, then. I'll go sleep on the sofa tonight.

Wait, wait a minute.

So you're saying to me that if you can't have sex with me, we can't lie in the

same bed?

What about cuddling?

What about kissing, Darnell?

What about rubbing my back or my feet or making me feel better? You can't do any

of that?

Uh -uh.

Come on, Maya.

You're asking a starving man to just sit down in front of a big, juicy steak and

just cuddle it.

I want to eat it.

Well, I want you to eat it, too.

But I'm scared, baby.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry.

Come here.

Can I just nibble on the gristle?

You know what? You need to take your horny ass.

Let's eat.

starving. Yeah, me too. Come on, let's go to 842.

Well, it's a furniture store, but I'm in the mood for an ottoman.

Okay, this is ridiculous.

It's been two days since I had a crab cake. I want to go to 847.

Then you should go. This whole banishment thing is so extreme.

Yeah, agreeing to Sean's request just validates his fears. It sends him the

message that something was there to be concerned about.

And if you don't eat at 847, I don't eat at 847.

Joan, I can't go back to Taco Bell.

You're right. I mean, Davis is no threat. Sean should trust me on this. I

shouldn't have caved.

Oh, I know what I'll do.

I am going to have Davis and his fiancée over to my house for dinner.

That head for Ava? That's the one.

And then Sean will see that there's nothing going on between me and Davis.

get my crab cakes back, and all will be right with the world.

I'm brilliant.

In Dumbville.

What the hell do you women want, anyway?

A good man to father your children and some reasonably good crab cakes.

Why do I have to choose?

I want it all.

For the love of God, you already got the female condom.

When's this mad grab for power gonna end?

Please pack the potatoes, Davis.

Here you go, Sean.

Thank you, Davis.

You're welcome, Sean.

Dinner is delicious, Joan. Thank you, Ava.

You're welcome, Joan.

Okay, this is ridiculous. How so, Sean?

Come on, we're all adults here.

Joan, look, if your friendship with Davis means so much to you, then I guess

I'll just have to live with it.

If you even put so much at the tip of your tongue in her mouth again, I swear

I'll kill you. Cheers.

What do you mean, again?

You didn't tell her?

Not really.

Tell me what.

Look, Joan and I kissed once. It was no big deal.

No big deal?

So I guess it won't be a big deal if I kiss Sean.

Watch it there, you!

Ava.

It was a mistake.

All right? It was just a little happy Valentine's Day kiss. We didn't end up

going away together.

Hold on.

Time out.

You two were going away together? You didn't tell me that part. Well, there

no need to because we didn't. I chose you. That's the important thing.

So isn't that why you're with me? Because she chose somebody else?

No, no, it wasn't even like that.

So if I hadn't come back from Toronto when I did, would you have gone off with

him? Sean, you are the one I want.

Yeah, for now.

And when she changes her mind again, who are you going to choose? I'm not

changing my mind. Am I talking to you? Hey, don't talk to her like that. Man,

don't even talk to my fiance like that. Man, mind your business. Don't talk to

him. I didn't lie about him. He was the one that was supposed to be coming.

Does this place work for you?

Yeah.

You? Is that the owner?

Yeah, I think so.

That works for me.

Hey,

David. Hey, Len.

Haven't seen you around for a while. Yeah, I mean, God, it's been a long

How you been, buddy?

You know, my brother.

Can I get you a table?

Well, that depends.

What can I get for five bucks?

Iced tea.

What if it's my birthday?

I'll stick a candle in it.

What if I also told you it's my wedding anniversary?

Then you're not married.

It's not my birthday either. Can you help us this time?
