Oh, keep your drawers on, folks.

Keep your drawers on, okay?

Just keep your drawers on, the store don't open up

for another two minutes. Alright?

Hey, hey, look here, old man. It's my woman's birthday.

Get you old behind out the way.

Wait a minute. Why you gon' climb?

Bwah, what do you..

Man, you wanna strength with me?

Boy, you wanna strength with me, bwah?

Don't you ever.. No, he did not climb a rope.

Did the bwah climb the rope

when I said we had two minutes and counting?

Okay, there, bwah. Well, let me tell you something.

Did you call Ol' Otis old?

That's what I said. Can't you hear, old man?

Can't you, what? I get the bottle of..

Well, look here, boy, uh-uh-uh-uh

you called this man a old here, bwah?

Oh, yeah, most definitely.

What about this woman here, bwah?

She's older than he is.

Now what you're trying to prove?

Nothing at all there, bwah. Nothing at all.

So what we have here is a failure to communicate

with the young folk and the older folk.

- Is that what it is there, boy? - That's right.

You know what, ladies and gentlemen? This bwah

don't have no home training.

Back in the day, whenever a young bwah

would disrespect one of the elders, you follow me?

Um, um, we had a thing that was called..

W-what the name of it? What the name of it?

It was called the whooping ass.

You about to see a lot right now.

Hold this.

He-he dropped Ol' Otis, huh.

Otis ain't, Otis ain't been down since '69, since '69.

Let me show you how I flow with mine, old bwah.

You gon' knock Ol' Otis down, huh?

Look out how I flow, young boy.

Look how I flow.

You don't know, bro.

Where you at?

Right here, old man!

- Aight, aight! - Give my glasses.

Give my glasses. Where my glasses?

Get up! Get up! Get up!

Hold it, boy.

'It ain't over, old man!'

Where you at?

Martin, hurry up, baby. We gonna be late for the play.

Coming!

So, I guess you won't make it to the play, huh?

No, no, baby, look, I'm going to the play

even if it kills me, Gina.

Alright, alright..

Gina!

Gina, I can't see nothing.

Baby, my world is gone without you.

Gina!

Baby, please.

Okay, Martin.

I know you wouldn't go so I asked Pam to go with me.

Aha! See, you know me.

You know that ain't my thing, huh?

Martin, I remember when it used to be.

When we first dated, the first month

you used to go everywhere with me.

Gina, baby, that's because I was trying to get something.

Alright? You know what I mean?

And every day, you made me so glad I gave it to you.

Okay, well, fine. We can go in to room I give a little more.

No! No, that's okay.

I don't have the time right now.

Alright. But I'll only be a minute, you know.

Oh, I know that!

- Hey, girl. You ready to go? - Oh, yeah.

Um, look, here's the money for my ticket.

Oh, no, you don't owe me anything.

Wallace had already paid for our tickets.

- He did? - Yes, he did, girl.

- He is so sweet. - Yes, he is so sweet.

Um. Pam, hold that.

Um...first of all, Pam, when you come up in my apartment

you acknowledge me, okay?

Because this is my house.

I told you that in the fight party.

This is my house. Respect my house.

Hi, Martin.

And bye, Martin. Come on, Gina.

Fine, let her roll. Let her roll, okay?

Alright, she's irrelevant. Okay?

Let's wrap to you. Okay?

Let-let-let's talk to you now.

Um...Wallace!

Who this?

Martin, he's just a friend from work.

Baby, what do you need a male friend for, Gina?

Pam's all the man you need.

A man enough to bust you and your head.

I-I'm not there with you. I'm-I'm with my lady right now.

I'm not there with you.

- Alright. - Martin, what is the big deal?

He is just a friend. A friend, Martin.

Oh, come on, Gina. Don't you get it? That's what they say.

First, they tell you how they want to go to

the ballet and hang out with you.

Next thing you know, they show up at your door

butt naked talking about how he's so alone.

- You did that. - It worked too, didn't it?

Martin, Wallace is nothing like you.

Se, he's sweet and he's sensitive.

- Oh! - Mm-hmm.

The brother the punk?

Okay, well, fine. Go on, have a good time.

Why you ain't saying nothing, girl?

Hey, Gina, Pam, tell Wallace I said..

"Hey, something broke out!"

I told my boss. I said, "Look, damn it, I want my money.

Give me a raise."

What y'all think about that?

Uh, do that, man, you know, that's your thing.

You know, that's your.. It's your job, you know.

Tommy, I-I don't mean to get into your business

and, and I think Cole feels the same way too.

But you know how Cole works at the airport

and I work on the radio?

Just what the hell do you do for a living, bro?

Oh, Martin, man, we have been friends

damn near our whole lives. You know what I do. What I do.

Alright.

I don't know what the hell he do, man.

You ask him. I hope..

Hey! Look, guys, what, we gon' have something to eat

or we still waiting on Gina?

Oh, we ain't going to wait on Gina, man.

She went to the museum with her friend Wallace.

Hold up!

You.. Mm, you let your girl, Gina

go on a date with another brother?

Come on, man. Is that what you thought, it was a date?

No, alright. He is a friend of her's from work. That's all.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Hold on. Hey, hey, no, no.

Don't even go there with that one, alright?

Okay? Come on.

Now, Tommy, you're a decent brother, alright?

You have a lot of women that are friends.

- What? Clarice, bro. - No.

I'm sorry, Martin, but I got no draws.

Well, what was up with, uh, Beletta?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But now we were real good friends.

Wait a minute. Martin.

You-you had a-a woman friend last year who was a--

Oh, yeah. That's right. That was a..

Uh...that would be, Gina.

Mm-hmm. Gina.

So, uh, y'all think the brother's

trying to play me for my girl?

Or maybe he is the first man in history

who really enjoys women for their conversation alone.

You know what? I ain't listening to y'all no more

because the last six times I listened to you

I made a ass out of myself.

Okay? Now, I believe Gina.

I trust my woman. Okay?

If she says he's just a friend, he's just a friend.

- Aight, cool. - Okay?

- Alright. - Alright.

Now, if you will excuse me..

...I got to go check up on my woman.

- Help me fix it. - Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Good.

Oh, hey.

Hey, babe. You're back from the museum?

You were just about to miss us, Martin.

- We're going shoe shopping. - You and--

Hey, how you doing, man? I'm Wallace.

Gina has told me a lot about you.

Hey, what's up, ah, Wall?

Well, she shouldn't have to tell you much about me.

I mean, everybody knows me.

Wassup?

Martin Payne, WZUP radio, bro.

Whassup?

Oh, is that what you do?

Well, Gina. I see you told the brother a lot about me.

Excuse me.

Baby, we're just friends. Please don't--

Oh no. No, no, no. No, no, no, baby.

I'm not saying nothing.

I'm not saying the brother's trying

to pull up on you or nothing.

I'm sure Wallace got a girlfriend.

- Ain't that right, Wall? - No, I don't.

Oh! Oh, you got a boyfriend.

Okay. Alright.

Hey, whatever makes your boat float, you know..

No, man, I'm not like that. I'm-I'm-I'm still looking.

Martin, lighten up. Okay?

Wallace, we better get going

before the mall gets too crowded.

Oh, yeah, see, we may not be able to

get any animal crackers, remember?

- Oh, yeah! - Remember that?

- Alright. - Oh!

This guy like to find a joke, you know, when

Wallace, we were at this really crowded restaurant, right

and then he ordered so..

Oh, forget it. You had to be there.

No, no, no, no, Gina. I get it, okay? I get it.

Animal Crackers.

That-that-that's a lie, there, Wallace?

Now, that's going like the comedy Hall of Fame.

Woo-woo. Ha-ha!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Uh, let's get going, Wallace.

I'll go get my checkbook, okay?

Oh, Wallace. Hey, hey, brother, brother.

Damn now, this your jacket, yeah?

I think you better raise up, Wallace.

Uh, what do you mean what I mean, Wallace?

Man, just-just-just raise, okay?

Look-look, Wallace, I don't know what's going on

and I'm not accusing you of nothing, okay?

But something's going on. Okay?

And until I find out

only man going be spending time with Gina is her man.

- Me, bruh. - Martin, we're just friends.

Alright, man, come on. We're going shoe shopping.

Alright, man.

Somebody's gonna tell you you're wrong, brother.

Alright, back up a tice. No, man.

No, just a tice. Just give me some room.

Okay, the door's gonna slam about now.

Okay, I'm ready.

Where's Wallace?

Martin, you threw him out, didn't you?

- What is going on? - What's going on, Gina?

It's a day of you and your man doing some shoe shopping.

'Cause, Gina, do you know who are you looking at?

Do you know? Do you know? Do you know?

- At the same man. - No, girl, your best friend.

Aha! Yeah. Yeah.

Nothing like a day of shoe shopping with my baby.

Martin, I know you hate this stuff, you don't have

to be here. You don't have anything to prove, honey.

Come on, Gina. Let's don't go here, baby. We're here.

Alright, we're here to look the shoes. Go on, girl.

I'm with my baby, alright?

Oh, Gina, the pumps.

Check out the red pump.

These are you, girl.

Martin, I can't walk in those.

Don't worry, girl. You won't be walking.

- Stop it! - Hey, Hey!

- Hi. - Hello.

- May I help you? - Yes.

Can I-can I see these in a eight and a half, please?

I'll go check on it for you.

- Why don't you have a seat? - Thank you.

That's right. Doing the shoe thing with my women. Ha-ha.

Whoo!

Damn, look at the dag on.

I know y-you're going for that Christie Love look, ain't you?

Freeze!

Christie Love..

Whoo, whoo, whoo!

Baby, baby, baby. Girl, I'm glad I came with you.

You know what I'm saying? 'Cause I'm chilling

at the shoe store with my snookum.

Oh!

Oh! Yo, baby. Yo, baby.

This old lady just got arrested and she ain't do nothing.

She going down!

Good, Martin. Look, I'm glad to you're here.

What do you think? What's your opinion?

Gina, you're not finished yet?

No, Martin, I'm narrowing it down. Now, how do these look?

Gina, babe, okay, they look like

the last 30 pair you tried on.

Look, just get the red pumps.

Martin, see, I knew you hated this.

- I should have brought Wallace. - No, no!

You don't say that. No, no, no, that was mean, baby. Okay?

It's just, Gina, we've been here for three hours, okay?

After a while, all these shoes start to look alike, baby.

How can you say that? It's obvious that

this is sandy brown and that's gravel brown.

Excuse me. But I, I wasn't even talking to you, Bigfoot.

No, no, I'm sorry, babe, but she trying on shoes

when she should be trying on the boxes.

Oh!

What? What? Well, we cool, we cool.

Martin! Martin! Martin!

Come on! Martin!

You know, my-my mama ain't raised no fool.

Alright, well, the lady, she forced me

like you gon' do something.

Martin, please go browse.

I go match you some stuff up, alright?

Excuse me! Can I have this in blue?

Oh, I need it in a size nine.

No, I don't.

See, because I don't work here.

Why does a brother always got to work at the shoe shop?

- Can we shop? - Excuse me?

- What's the problem? - There's no problem!

Now, listen to me. You're out of the hood now, Gee.

I got my eye on you.

I guess you do, you fake cop.

You-you rent a cop, ain't you, man? Huh?

You know what? To show you how much they care about you

they ain't even gave you no gun. They gave you a flashlight.

What you're going to do? I see you.

Get out of there. I see you. Huh?

I-I a-and I bet this is a clip on tie, ain't it?

Clip on. Oh!

Gina, are you ready to go?

Yeah, yeah, I just need to know one thing.

- Do you like these or these? - Those?

- These? - Yes.

Are you sure? Because if I get the heel I can

wear them with my skirt and my pants but if I get the flat

I can only wear them with my pants.

But if I get the heel, I just--

- What do you think? - Right on!

Martin, you are no help. Excuse me, miss?

Miss, can I see every shoe you have in a store in tote?

- Thank you. - Every shoe, Gina..

No. Oh, Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man.

Whoo!

- Hey, what's happening, bro? - How you doing, my man?

What are you in here for?

Man, I promised my girl I would be her best friend.

You know?

Yeah. Yeah. Tell me about it.

You done messed up.

Yeah, well, sometimes you mess up in life, bro.

So look here, man, you think I can read one of those magazines?

Nope, I'm readin' them.

- All of 'em? - Yep.

Yeah, but you're not reading that one on the top right there?

No, but I might want to in a minute.

Okay, well, when you get ready to read it, just let me know.

Ah, ah, ah, I wouldn't do that.

I've been sitting in this chair six hours straight

and I'm ready to snap.

A-alright.

Damn!

Whoo!

Brother, I'm sorry.

Man, you think after the Rodney King incident

two brothers can sit down and get a rap.

Just talk and chill. Excuse me!

Whoo!

You gonna give me one of these magazines.

You gon' give me one of these damn mag..

You're gon' let me read one of these damn magazines.

You're gon' let me read one, aight?

We didn't have to go there, bruh.

You again? Hey.

Now this is your second warning.

Next time, you're gonna roll up out of here, Gee.

Well, you ain't gotta be grabbing me.

You ain't gotta be grabbing me. Alright?

I'mma getting ready to leave in a minute

when my girl ready, alright?

- Excuse me! - Oh, did I say tote?

I'm sorry, I meant every shoe in brown.

Brown shoes, please. Thanks.

Baby, Gina, you're gonna have to hurry up

'cause I can't take this no more.

Wallace never gets tired.

So you mean to tell me, Wallace sits in the store five hours

and never complains while you and Pam try on shoes?

Yeah, he says he enjoys it.

Girl, that's all I need to know.

You-you done..

Hello, operator? Yeah, this is gonna sound crazy

but give me the number for a brother named Wallace.

No, I don't have a last name.

Well, run them all down to me.

Woman, I ain't got nothing but time.

I'm in a shoe store.

Hey, Martin, I came as soon as I got the message, man

so, uh, wassup? That's what you do, right?

Uh, Wallace, uh-uh, sit down, brother.

Let-let-let's wrap a tace. Okay?

Wallace, this is your, your chance to come clean, bro. Okay?

Because no straight brother I know

can spend time at ballets and shoe stores

unless he was up to something.

I mean, what's up, man?

Is it that obvious?

It.. Oh, hell yes, it's obvious, bruh. Okay?

Now I got to tell you like this.

Yo, man, chill with Gina, okay?

Because if I have to start going back to shoe store

man, Wallace, I'm liable to, to-to kill somebody, man.

- Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait-- - Whopping little ass.

I just don't know what my mental mind is right now.

Hold on, you misunderstood.

I'm not after Gina.

- But then-- - So why the--

Come on, man, no, I'm just

hanging around Gina to get to Pam.

Who?

Pam.

Buckshot Pam. Beady-bee Pam?

- Yeah, yeah. - Run over shoes Pam?

- Yeah. - Stank attitude Pam.

Yeah, she's all of that.

And she's just my type

but, man, she doesn't want to have anything to do with me

because I work for her.

Oh, Wallace, man.

Oh, Wallace.

Man, you could get with Pam.

Brother, you just got to spend time with her.

Look, man, I sent her down in the mall to pick up Gina

because I couldn't take it no more, alright?

Now they should be down there another

what, eight, nine hours.

- Really? Hey, man. - Yeah.

Do you really think I can hook up with Pam?

Man, please, most definitely, man.

Alright, ain't nothing to it, but to do it.

You know, oh-oh, you gonna need these if you going to the mall.

- Yeah, you'll need those. - Hey, man.

- Hey, man, I like that though. - Huh?

It's like a affirmation, right?

Ain't nothing to it, but to do it.

Well, that's fine. Say it one more time.

Ain't nothing to it, but to do it.

Alright, I want to hear you feel it though.

Ain't nothing to it, but to do it.

Give it to me one more time.

Now, run. Back yourself.

Slow it down.

Oh, Wallace!

- Hey, Martin. - Yeah.

Um, I know why you scared Wallace away this afternoon.

And that's why I kept you at the shoe store so long

'cause I had to teach you a lesson.

- Mm. Hmm? - Martin?

I'm gonna have male friends. You know that, right?

Oh, let's go. Hey, girl.

I'm thinking about a sandwich, making a sandwich.

I can't think about what you just said.

Uh.

But, uh, you know

I got me a few female friends myself, Gina.

Ah..

So, they say they want me to go

lingerie shopping with them tomorrow.

They want me to look at it, yeah. Yeah.

I mean, they just said they want a man's opinion.

- Uh-huh? - That's what they say--

Oh, uh, you know what? That's too bad, Martin

because, um, if you go with them

you won't be able to see me in, um, these.

- Oh, the red pumps. - The red pumps.

Peace.
