Yo, wassup! How y'all feelin'?

Yo, wassup! How y'all feelin'?

Ow!

Ahh!

- Ahh! - Martin!

Would you stop flinchin' and be still?

I'm just tryin' to give you a line.

I used to give my daddy a line all the time.

But Gina, tha-that's what I'm worried about, okay?

You're the reason your father got a sunroof in his afro.

Get outta here!

You just make sure you get

your hair cut by Friday, okay?

- Friday? - Honey, I told you.

We're having dinner with these new clients.

They're very big fans of yours and it would really

help me get the account.

- Oh, I-I didn't tell you? - Uh-uh.

Uh, well, Stan fired the choir storm DJ and uh..

Guess who's takin' over?

Martin, you're quitting the morning show

to work the midnight show?

- No, girl. I ain't stupid. - Oh, okay.

Imma work both shifts.

Martin, Stan is paying you double the money, isn't he?

Girl, you know what it's wild, right?

'Cause I've always wanted to work the night shift.

I mean like, it's a great opportunity.

Uh-huh. So you're getting nothing, right?

- Nice as hell, huh? - No, no, no.

Nothin' but opportunity, Gina.

And when opportunity comes knockin'

imma be at the door like this..

Wassup?

Come on in here, opportunity.

You want somethin' to drink?

Martin, baby. That sounds like Stan talkin'.

Come on! He's using you.

Martin, besides, I mean

we never get to see each other anymore.

There'd be no more uh, late night cuddlin'.

Oh, shoot!

- I'd miss that. - Yes.

And there'd be no more sneakin' away at lunch time.

- What? - Mm-mmm.

We couldn't sneak away a taste?

No.

I mean, what about behind the thing?

- Nothin' behind the thing. - But that's your spot.

- You like to go-- - What's you-- Yeah, Martin.

Okay, alright.

- Martin? - Yeah.

I might as well throw away my Victoria's Secret catalogue.

In fact, imma do that right now.

No, no, no, no, no.

You, you don't wanna do that.

Okay, fine, I'll tell you what, alright.

I'll do the show tonight, then I'll quit.

- Just one night? - Yeah, yeah.

- Just one night. - Yaay!

Alright, it'll be fun, okay?

But, baby, tell me this doesn't sound fly, alright?

You're on a love train with Martin Payne.

- Ooh. - Woo, woo.

Uh-huh.

Our destination...is love.

With stops along the way of passion..

- ...ecstasy.. - Well.

Hop aboard, Gina.

Were making an express stop in the bedroom.

- Alright. - Woo, woo.

'I gotta get ready to get outta here.'

But before I go..

Here's somethin' for the love in you.

A little somethin' in the mornin'

to make you rise.

- Ah. - Mornin', mornin', mornin'.

Martin, Martin, Martin.

You are doin' a hell of a job, man.

They love you out there.

Well, thank you, Stan. Thank you, man.

- But I got a little bad news. - What?

Uh, I ain't gonna be able to do the show after tonight, brother.

- What's the problem? - Don't take this personal.

But sometimes I feel

uh, you use people, Stan.

Use people, Martin?

That's not comin' from you

that's woman talk.

Lemme guess, it's Gina, ain't it?

No, it is not Gina, man.

I just decided that my relationship was more important.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Martin, hold on a minute.

Did I hear you use the word "relationship"?

Martin, that's a punk word.

You know what, this is stupid, Stan, alright?

- Oh, is it? - Yes.

Observe, Martin.

Oh, Shawn, come in here.

Yeah. What is it, money?

Shawn, yesterday I heard you use the word..

...relationship.

Wh-what?!

Are you callin' me a punk?

Oh, no, no, no.

Someone done told you wrong, pimp man.

It's time, you and me to get it on right now.

Now! Come on, come on.

Slow your roll, Shawn.

Slow your roll.

I must have misunderstood.

Alright.

Just watch your mouth.

'Cause I ain't no punk.

See, man, even Shawn knows.

Martin, I hate to say it

but you were whipped.

Brother, you got the wrong man.

- I ain't whipped. - No, brother.

I don't have the wrong man and imma prove it to you

with the Stan Winter's Are you whipped test.

Pfft. Whatever, Stan.

Question one.

Do you hold her after makin' love to her?

Yes.

I think any decent brother would.

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

Well, after holdin' her, you do ask her to leave, don't you?

Stan, man, you are buggin', bro.

Martin, this ain't lookin' too good.

Last question.

When she talks to you

do you ever find yourself listenin'?

Go ahead, Stan.

Martin, I don't need to go no further

you're so whipped, I could spread you on my sandwich.

Martin, Martin, Martin.

Gina is controllin' you

and pretty soon, man, she's gonna be dressin' you.

Yeah, well, maybe she needs to dress your ass, alright?

Stan, let me tell you somethin' man, okay?

I'm going home, to my woman Gina, okay?

Whooped. Man, please.

Whipped. Ha-ha-ha.

Tell me I'm whipped.

Hey, honey. Right on time.

You must be tired from workin' all night.

You just come on in here and sit down

'cause I made you some breakfast.

- You made me breakfast, huh? - Uh-huh.

I know you did, 'cause I'm in control up in here.

Right.

Uh, Martin, I bought you somethin.

Yeah, you bought me somethin'? What you buy your man?

- What you buy me? - I bought you this shirt.

'Cause I thought you might like to wear it Friday night.

- That's a nice color. - Is that right?

Is tha-is that right, Gina?

You thought I might like to wear this Friday night?

What, so you dressin' me, Gina?

You dressin' me now, huh?

Martin, I always do. I picked out that shirt you have on, now.

Oh, damn, that's right.

This is kinda fly.

That was then this is now.

Okay.

Don't be buyin' me nothin.

Check with me before you start buyin' stuff, alright?

- Check with me. - Martin.

Look, I don't know what this is all about.

You've been up all night and you're over tired

so why don't you just catch yourself some shut eye

and we'll talk about this later, okay?

No, no, no, no. We can talk now, Gina, okay?

Because I'm wide awake. My eyes are wide open.

Open like a smoker, Gina.

I could see clear, now.

And for the first time in my life

I don't like what I'm seein'.

You're playin' me.

What?

Martin, I am so glad

you're not taking this job on permanently

because you act insane when you don't get any sleep.

Correction.

I'm takin' the job permanently.

Don't look startled.

Fine, fine, Martin, you take that job

but you know we're gonna hardly see each other anymore.

Oh, come on with the seein' of each other, alright?

Please, okay?

And let me tell you somethin', Gina.

I can work ten jobs, baby

and come home and still have you climbing the walls.

That's right, climbing the walls, Gina.

Spiderman.

Girl..

Girl, I will have you screamin' so loud

the whole neighborhood will know my name.

Oh, yeah. You mean jackass?

Jackass! Oh, jackass.

Gina!

- Yeah. Yeah. - You ain't got to--

- Yeah. Yeah. - Y-y-yeah.

- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah.

Listen, Martin, since you have so much energy

I'll just expect you at dinner Friday

before your night shift, okay?

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm, baby, I'm a man of my word.

I'll be there, but I won't be wearin'

that shirt you bought me.

Whatever, Martin, just eat your breakfast.

What? Pfft, pfft.

You don't tell me what to eat, Gina.

I don't want this, you know what I'm sayin'?

I was plannin' on goin' to the Ihop, I want some pancakes.

Okay? You know, how you like me now?

You know, women gonna tell you hat to eat

when to eat and how to eat it.

You must be out of your damn mind.

I'll tell you this.

And I-I'll tell you this.

Imma little short right now

you got a $5 I could borrow?

'Yo, man.'

'I ain't slept in five days.'

Martin, brother.

You are killin' yourself and it doesn't make any sense.

You're workin' two jobs, right?

No extra pay, no extra exposure, and why?

Y-you wanna know why, Tommy, you wanna know why?

Because Gina told me not to, brother.

You follow me?

If I-if I start listenin' to her now

when will it end?

I'd be whipped for the rest of my life.

Uh, I don't wanna get in your business, right?

But uh..

You've been whipped for a little while now, Martin.

You know that?

No, no, no for real, for real, man.

Man, no, Gina got your nose open, boy.

She got it open so wide, you look like

you've been sniffin' bowlin' balls, okay?

Straight up?

Yo, Tom..

Well, then break it down for me, man.

I gotta know what's happenin'. What's goin' on.

Hold on, Martin, now, look there's nothin' like

you know, there ain't any big changes

or anything, you know.

Right, right. Just little by little, you know.

She just keep chippin' away at you.

- Straight up? - Mm-hmm.

I mean like your pad, right?

Used to smell like a man's pad, you know?

See?

You know what I'm sayin'?

Uh..

Corn chips and stuff like that, you know, you know.

But now it just smell like potpourri up in here, man.

Yo, man, Gina put that in here.

Um, Martin y-your toilet paper, man.

You see, the roll of toilet paper in your bathroom

used to be white.

Now I believe it's pink and lavender.

Oh, yeah.

So, wait, wait, wait.

You-you think I'm whipped too, Tommy?

Hold on, n-not that I think you're whipped, okay.

It's just, you know compared to the way that you used to be..

Yeah, you're whipped.

I... G-G-G-G-God.

Where's the old Martin now, oh, God.

W-we miss him big time.

Could you bring him back to us, God?

- Yo, man. Yo, man. - Please.

Yeah, that's right, Gina.

The old Martin is back, Gina.

And guess who's comin' to dinner, baby.

Robert, use a glass.

See now, why are you gonna start that?

He's probably stuck in traffic or something.

Oh, yeah, don't look surprised on your face
