Oh, girl, look at all that money mingling together, Gina.

I cannot believe there's an account out there

With that much money.

- O-o-o-o. - It scares me.

Yeah. Girl, all I want to know..

...is uh, how do we keep track

on how much is yours and how much is mine?

Oh, Martin, there's no more yours or mine.

All the money in there is ours.

I put in all my money, you put in all of yours.

Hold on-hold on, wait a minute.

Martin, what about Gina?

What about her, Tommy?

Huh? I mean, she can watch it occasionally.

Even if that money's, Gina's.

Oh, man. You don't get it, do you?

Gina explained it to me this morning.

It's not half Gina's it's not half mine.

It's all mine. Excuse me.

They have a joint account. They need to..

- It's his responsibility-- - Excuse me.

Y'all came ready to buy that big screen TV?

Because, we'd love to come by and watch.

Nikko, hurry up with our damn TV man.

'...right inside, hooking it rolls away.'

- Hey Martin. Look, look man. - What?

Turn up the sound now, go ahead.

Alright.

You know what?

The picture is-is absolutely unbelievable

but I think-I think, we maybe, we need a back up.

You know what, Tommy, you feel it right

I feel like I'm right in the TV.

So let's back up. I'll bring the sound up.

Uh, back up.

One, two, three...

I got a couple of home videos

we can check out later, you know.

Oh, no-no, no Cole.

Please, I'm not trying to see 61 inches

of big Shirley on a water slide.

You know, I'm just saying. My stomach ain't holding.

Hey babe, what's up? Look at the big screen.

I don't wanna to be a freak. I just can't help myself.

How y'all doing?

- Hello? - Hey, hey, how you doing?

Ah, Martin, can I see you for a minute, baby?

Sure, sure.

Okay, y'all, is it in focus-foc...okay.

Hey baby, how'd you get the TV?

Oh, girl, bust dead, Gina.

Ah, remember I was supposed to spend $400 on that punk TV.

Well, Gina, I saved us over $1000

by buying us the biggest TV in the world, baby.

Made us $600. $600.

What you brought that with our account?

Oh, none but the joint account.

You know, use our account, you know.

- That's nice. - Check it out.

- Hey-hey-hey-hey. - What was wrong now?

- She didn't-- - Wait, wait, wait.

Ah-ha-ha-ah, honey. You don't..

You-you don't know my baby don't get your ass kicked, alright.

Uh-uh-uh just what the hell are you doing?

- Look baby.. - Baby, what're you doing?

Hey, look. First, I'm gonna call the bank

and stop the check that paid for this thing.

Then, I'm gonna run down to my car get the

club off the steering wheel, come back up here

and get the swinging, basically that's--

No, don't leave

'Oh, please, I love you to be here when I get back.'

Bye sniggling, bye giggling.

Hey, guys say bye to the television.

- Hoshitoshi. - 'That's right.'

Alright now.

Sorry, you can't be here when I get back.

Alright.

You still here?

What is that?

I mean, like, just tell me

what are we watching 'cause I can't tell.

It's basketball, Cole, okay.

The same as it was before

we took back the big screen, okay.

It must be like, ant basketball, or something like that.

Argh...I got to admit sitting around, wasting our lives

the whole lot more exciting when we had the Hoshitoshi.

What more man, you know.

Until Gina came and ruined everything.

I don't wanna live no more, okay.

- Just shut up man. - No, just sitting here..

Oh, there it is!

Ah!

Oh, Beatty Bee...pay up

Gina is not here, she went to the store

so be gone, puff, pow.

No, no, I'm not here to see Gina, I'm here to

watch you enjoy your little TeeVee.

It's so cute.

Yeah, Pam. That's the Bitch 200.

Did you come up here just to rub this in.

Well, actually Tommy, I did.

And it's making my day, dawg.

I mean what is it about men and big screen TV's.

Is it that they are compensating for something else?

'I don't know, somebody tell me.'

Ha, well. I gotta go see.

Martin, I'm going to home to watch my 19-inch TV.

See Martin, mine's bigger than yours.

Aye, y'all. Peace!

I bet it is, Pam.

That's why your voice is soo much deeper than mine huh.

Peeace.

So, is this it? Is this my life, man.

Gina beats me down.

Then sends her henchmen, Pam, over here to punk me.

You know, huh, huh? Is this what it is come to?

Ah, she ain't beaten you down on couple's budget.

No-no Tommy. No, come on man.

Every women budget.

Every man suffers because of it.

Why-why is it that everything we buy

they call as being frivolous?

- 'Yeah.' - I dig, I dig what you say.

Li-like a giant TV that talk.

Tommy, all I know is you ain't have no women

before we got one, did you?

- Hey, shut up. - No, what uh, no.

Cole, Martin, look man, alright.

All Gina want is for you

to be responsible, that's it.

I am being responsible, man.

I mean, Tommy I took back the Hoshitoshi.

Uh, now, I got "Pretty in Pink".

Huh. I mean, come on, man.

But what about Gina, huh?

What's she spending my money on man, huh?

Yeah, that's right. I'm gonna go check out and find out

what's going on with my money man.

Whole bread and cup cake.

Oh!

Hey, baby. What you doing here?

I didn't expect you till little later on.

Oh, it's later, Gina.

Very late.

Too late to stop the madness.

What madness, Martin?

I'm talking about the spending madness, Gina.

I'm talking about the budget.

Well, what a panty hose doing in the garbage can, huh? Huh?

- It tore up. Yes. - Tore up, Gina.

Girl, I could've used this for stocking cap or anything, Gina.

Huh, I don't know, in my later years

I might want a j curl.

This could have held the juices.

This could have hold the juices.

Alright, okay.

I know what this is about. This is about the TV, isn't it?

Now, look Martin. I know you wanted it, baby, but I'm sorry.

We're on a budget. We can't afford it.

We can't afford a TV?

But we can afford this, we can afford this, huh?

Where did you get that wig?

I found it under the bed shivering scared to death, Gina.

Poor thing, poor thing.

There is a big difference between a wig and a TV.

Oh, but you bought it with my money, didn't you not?

Our money, yes.

Well then pack it up because, it's going back.

- Everything is going back. - You know what?

Martin, this system isn't gonna work

unless we both make some sacrifices.

Sacrifices?

This is not fair, Gina.

- I buy you a fat rock. - Oh!

I ain't get a damn thing.

I'm still waiting on the thank you card.

You know what, I can't even talk to you with you like this.

I'm gonna go in the bedroom and you can stay out here

and chill for a while, alright?

Stay here, okay.

What's in the bag, Gina?

- Huh? - You heard, what's in the bag?

Oh, come on! Wait, Martin.

You don't have to scratch it!

Huh? What's in the bag, huh?

Huh? Huh? Argh!

A bread maker, huh, Gina?

What you want your little toast-toast?

Little English muffin or something, huh?

For $300?

- Martin? - What?

Hey, this was on sale.

I...I saved us $200.

And I saved us over a thousand.

I hope you kept the receipt cause it's going back.

- Pack it up. Pack it. - Fine, fine.

You know what, you don't even have to come for that.

You don't even, because you know what this-this joint account

isn't working, so, a little bit later on

I'mma give you half of the money.

Huh, okay fine, Gina. Fine, fine.

Alright. Let me tell you something.

You do what you want with your half of the money.

And I do what I want with my half of the money.

- Agreed. - Agreed.

- Huh, you know, let me.. - You can go.

- So I'll see you more later? - Yeah, do that.

Oh, oh, brother, brother. Wait, one second.

Um, that 20 you owe me, I'd like my money, please.

- Like this? - Yeah, well, remember you--

Take your money as we going through this crisis.

Times are hard, you know.

You said it's a joint account

what could we pick it up again.

- Yay, gee-kose. - Oh.

- Haha. - Oh, no. What now?

What you want to return now, Mr. Stopthecheck?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't man.

He didn't return the TV.

- His-his fiancé made him do it. - Thank you.

O-o-oh, pumped by your woman, uh?

In my village, they'd make you put on a dress

and dance with the town idiot.

Huh, look here, uh, uh, uh, Nikkooose.

Alright, I'm sure your-your village

is very manly, very macho, okay.

But uh, I'm straight with my woman.

And I'm back to make a deal.

That's right, Spartacus.

This time, I got cash.

- I like your attitude, ah. - Yeah.

I'm glad to see you think only of yourself, huh.

Like a man.

No-no-no Nicky, I ain't like that, alright.

I love my woman more than the TV, okay papa.

Oh, come on, come on.

If there was an earthquake you wouldn't be thinking

oh, them, I hope my woman doesn't fall over.

There it is!

The ultimate in selfishness, huh?

The TV that says..

..."I only love me."

Hey, look-look-look you love yourself, don't you?

- Hoshitoshi. - Hoshitoshi.

- Hoshitoshi. - Hoshitoshi.

Gina? Boo?

I got you something girl. Come on out here.

Hey, baby I got you something too.

Oh-ho-ho-ho-oh-ho, Boo.

Aw...Gina!

No, you did not gimme the big screen TV.

Well, Martin, I was thinking about

what I said earlier today, and I decided that

what I want to do with my money was to get you the TV.

Oh, girl.

You-you, you saw me you know that, huh?

Now, look what I got you, the bread maker.

Oh Martin that is so sweet.

- You know what? We here. - We are here. Com here.

Girl gimme a hug. Gimme love.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Aha-aha-aha.

Let me uhuh, let me think for a minute.

- Gina. - Huh?

Your half of the money wasn't enough

to buy that big screen TV.

Where'd you get the money, girl?

Oooh.

- Well, Martin. - Hmm.

- I have a confession to make. - 'Yeah, well-well--'

I didn't exactly put all my money into the joint account.

I kind of had a little stashed for rainy day.

Oh.

Little-little stash, huh?

Well, how much stash do you-you have

for a rainy day, Gina, I mean..

...was it a 400, 500?

Add a zero baby.

5000? 5Gs, Gina?

Stashed for a rainy day?

Girl, no one even pack like that, Gina.

Gina, nuh-uh-nuh-uh.

You know what? You were holding out on me.

You ain't right.

- You-you're not right. - Baby-baby-baby.

I am sorry.

Baby, look.

- Are you mad at me? - Oh, Mad? Mad?

I'm not. No, no Gina.

No, no, I'm not mad, baby.

Not mad at all.

Baby, I'm-I'm just disappointed.

I'm just-I'm just very disappointed, Gina.

Look, let me-let me tell you something girl.

Okay, you hear me now, alright.

Okay, Martin.

Gina, if you are serious

about this relationship you are gonna have to be

a little more honest with me.

- Baby, someone is at the door. - You know, huh?

Heh?

Don't you hear the knocking?

What, what you're talk-what?

I'll get it.

Yeah.

I got a big screen TV here for Martin Pink.

Oh, wrong floor.

That's Broman Pink, upstairs, fifth floor.

Hey, c'mon this thing is heavy man. You better--

Come..

Get out of my way.

- It's heavy man. - That's not mine.

Here.

- Man, you don't get it. - Sign here.

You don't get it, do you man.

I say it. If I don't answer after two knocks

then take the damn screen TV yourself.

You can't get it man. Get on out of here.

Such super nonsense. Man, just get on now.

Howla! Howla!

Martin?

Something ain't right.

Now, your half of the money wasn't enough

to buy a big screen TV out of that.

How much did you hold out for brother, 4000, 5000?

Take away zero.

- What? You played me first. - No.

Martin, you lied to me too.

Oh, Gina.

Don't be the kettle calling the pot

or the pot calling the kettle.

You know what?

Aww...Martin.

We just cannot be trusted.

Boo, you know, what it is?

I mean, Gina baby, it's just too soon.

You know, what I'm saying I mean..

We're not even married yet.

Baby, we just need to take it slow.

- You know what, I got an idea. - Yeah, what's that?

Why don't we...take all the money we have on us now..

Uh?

...put it in a cookie jar.

Alright, put it in a cookie..

So, whenever we want money, we meet at the cookie jar.

- Meet at the cookie jar. - Meet at the cookie jar.

How cool, yeah, I like what you said.

I think that's a good idea.

- I love you. - I love you.

- You got a lot of money. - I got a lot of money.

I have with balls up, that's all.

Oh, baby.

No, you don't have to put your hand.

I mean, you don't have to put your hand.

- Well, look put the top on. - Don't you--

Put the top on.

- You know what-- - You gimme my..

Damn that joint account.

"Dear Martin..

"Thank you so much

"for the lovely ring.

"The thing I like most about

"the ring is that it is so..

"...expensive.

"If I ever doubt your love

"I will just gaze down at the price tag

"Are you happy now?

Warmest regards, Gina."

Cool.

I don't know what that is.
