But you ain't fooled me, okay?

I know about you all along.

So why don't you just move that weave.

So we can all see that Adam's Apple.

Pam! Pam!

Yo, Gina. Hurry up, girl.

We only got 11 hours before we go to my high school reunion.

I can't believe you're up this early.

Martin, how many pushups did you do anyway?

Huh, you mean counting last night, Gina?

Okay, add three.

And then add a thousand to three, Gina. Alright?

Whoo!

'Martin, what is the big deal'

'about this reunion?'

Hey! Huh?

It's just a..

It's just a party where you get together

and catch up with your old friends.

No, no, Gina, it's is about fronting on the suckers

you went to high school with.

You know, everyone you couldn't get with.

Huh? All the people that's put it down.

Stole your money.

Stole your girl.

When did that ever happen to you?

Oh, Gina. It's happened to me.

Okay, I wasn't always perfect, baby.

- Oh, no. - Gina, I wasn't always the Mac.

See, baby, back then

Ricky Fontaine was the man.

Pretty Ricky what they called him.

Look, this man was, what was captain of the basketball team

voted most likely to have it going on.

Everybody loved pretty Ricky

and hated me, Gina.

But you know what, baby? Heh!

Tonight the tables have turned.

Whoo!

Martin, you gonna be fronting out all night

I don't think I wanna be there.

No, no, Gina, you gotta be there.

You're my trophy, girl.

See, with you by my side, Gina

ain't nothing stopping me

from winning that Man of the Decade Award.

Man of the decade?

My man could be man of the decade?

Yes, that's right, that's right.

That's why, Gina, you can't just look good, babe.

Every man has to want you.

That's why I got a whole day beauty plan for you.

No, Martin, no!

Remember you tried to give me that pedicure?

That nail almost didn't grow back.

Come on now, I'm sorry about the baby toe.

But this time, Gina, you going downtown

to a real salon.

Juanita's Bumper Curl. Alright?

For facial and she gon' hook your hair up, okay?

She gonna spa you, plam plam.

And, Gina, baby, please

do not get the long weave like Pam.

Because everybody knows that's horse hair.

- Shut up, Martin. - I'm serious.

- People are not fools, Gina. - Martin, shut up.

And-and come here, come here, baby, now

I ain't finished now, okay?

At 3 o'clock you are going to see the dentist.

Dentist? I don't need to see a dentist, Martin.

You don't know your mouth like I do, Gina.

Come, come, come here, come here, come here. Huh, huh.

Look here, huh, see that?

You really need to cut back on the coffee, Gina.

- You really do. - Okay, alright.

I didn't realize how important all this was to you.

-You take that. Gonna get ready. - Thank you. Thank you.

Girl, I got a feeling you're gonna be

a showstopper tonight.

There you go, yeah!

Ah, rerun would love you, girl.

Hey, yo, Martin, why you looking through your old yearbook, man?

'Cause I'm making a list, Cole.

Okay? A payback list.

And you're not on it.

Hey, ain't that Keisha?

Martin, isn't that-that girl t-that Ricky Fontaine

stole from you the day at the prom?

Ricky Fontaine.

Pretty Ricky what they called him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Cole, look.

- Vanessa, Vanessa Tucker! - Ah!

- She was my lab partner. - Oh!

That's right. You were supposed to hook up with her.

What happened?

Well, she was going out with Ricky's

older brother Chico Fontaine.

Pretty Chico what they called him.

Them damn Fontaines, man.

They got you too, huh, Tommy?

You know what, but don't worry about it

tonight is payback, bruh.

- I got your back. - Hey, yo, Tommy, yo.

I've seen Vanessa, man, she looking pretty good.

You should try to hook up with her tonight.

Then we'll have three of the finest ladies

in the hell's--

Cole, Cole, Cole, excuse me, bruh.

But I don't think Big Shirley

exactly qualifies as fine.

Ah, aha.

Big Shirley, right.

- I got me a professional one. - Good for you, Cole.

Gina, ain't here, wait in the hall.

Move it, shorty, I'm here to see Cole.

Look, you gonna sign these contracts or not?

'Cause I ain't going nowhere with you

without a contract being signed.

Hold on, Cole, what's going on?

Uh, Pam here's my date.

How much you gotta pay her?

I'm getting a free round trip ticket

anywhere his airline flies.

A free round trip ticket?

Pam, for all of that, I could just take Big Shirley.

I mean, all she wants is a couple of buckets of chicken

and some curly fries.

But can Big Shirley wear this?

Give me a pen, Tommy, give me a pen, give me a pen.

If you get the message, call me when you get in.

Dammit, Gina. Where are you?

You're late on the most important night of my life?

I'm sorry, God, I gotta be a little more patient.

Gin..

Damn!

Hi, baby.

What's up?

Oh, baby.

Did you get jacked?

Gina, I told you, do not fight for the car.

No, Martin.

Juanita gave me an avocado mask.

What?

An avocado mask!

But you're allergic to avocados.

I know.

And then, the dentist hit a nerve with the novacaine.

Oh, Martin.

Dang!

How could this happened to me?

I mean you.

How could this happen to you?

It's okay, Martin, I can still go.

Hell no.

Ah, oh, no.

Um, no, no, I didn't mean like that.

I'm sorry, baby.

Um, look, um..

I can't ask you to do that.

Martin, I have to be there.

This is a very important night for you.

You could be man of the decade.

Uh, uh, baby.

Uh, Gina.

Wait a minute.

Alright, just..

I know, I know. Okay?

I, I mean, it's not that I didn't want to touch it, baby

it's just you're leaking, okay?

Okay? And you know..

You know, the dentist put some things in there sometimes.

So, um.. Look, here, okay?

Um, um, I appreciate it though, babe

but seriously, I think you better stay home, okay?

Are you sure?

Gina, I ain't never been so sure about something in my life.

Okay?

Okay, then, then I'm gonna go and, and take these

painkillers the dentist gave me and go to bed, okay?

Okay. Uh-uh, baby. I'll tell you all about it when I get home.

- Okay? Hey, hey. - Okay.

Come on, man, it's alright.

Give me sugar.

Uh, no, no.

Man.

What's up, Philippe? P.

Alright, hey, Clarence.

Remember me, Martin Payne?

Yeah, I remember.

You and your boys used to cut on my ears all the time.

Yeah.

But I guess you heard

I'm a big time radio star now, huh?

- Yeah. So? - So?

So, let me ask you a question.

Are you still selling tapes out the trunk of your car?

Look, man, that's strictly temporary, 'aight?

Oh, come on, Clarence?

For ten years?

Man, I say that's the career.

Okay, now, look here, bro.

Yeah, and it never quite grew back.

Well, you know, I think bald men are sexy.

It's really good seeing you again, Tommy.

You know, I came here tonight

hoping that I'd run into you.

- Really? - Have a seat.

Need you something to drink?

Oh, no, no, no, I don't drink.

Well, not anymore.

I'm taking it one day at a time.

Okay. Alright, good, good, good for you.

Ooh-whoo!

You know it.

Keisha, girl, you still got those moves.

Oh, and you can still work it yourself too, Martin Payne.

Better than Ricky?

You mean pretty Ricky?

Please, that bum dropped me the day after graduation.

And ever since then all I've been

able to think about is you.

Wait, wait, wait.

Let me get this right.

You and Ricky fell off after a week.

Right.

Your husband's in jail for selling bad meat.

You got it.

And I have the top radio show

in all of Detroit.

Now that's the truth.

Now, why was it

that you dumped me again?

Oh, Martin, if I had known you is gonna turn out

to be such a big radio--

Save the drama for your mama.

- But this is-- - 'Cause I ain't trying to hear.

Eh-eh!

Excuse me.

See, Tommy, it wasn't the illegal drugs

it was prescriptions that really got me into trouble.

But of course, I couldn't afford the prescriptions

you know with all my gambling debts, it was bad.

- Hey, hey, isn't that-- - Hey, hey.

You're gonna leave me like all the rest, are you, Tommy?

No, no, I was just stretching.

Hey, you what, I ain't gonna be able to hang out as late

as I thought, I might be able to, you know what I'm saying?

'Cause I got a long night loving out of me..

Ain't that right, Pam?

Here.

Oh, no, no, no, that's not cold enough. Come on.

I said, more ice.

You know what I mean?

'I can't take it no more.'

I can't take it..

Yeah, that's right, run, dammit.

Go-go and bring the car around.

Ah, here we go.

Dante, Kenny and Lester.

Y'all have a good evening now, you hear?

Ooh. One more person I'm looking for.

I just got one more to go.

Well, well, well. Ha-ha!
