Ah, baby!

A customer, Gina.

- Uh-oh. - Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

See, I don't want you to come up short

'cause if you do, I'mma have to check you.

But anyway, girl, uh, I didn't know I was this fly.

I didn't know retail was in my blood.

Baby, the sale is going great. But baby

where did you get the money to buy all this stuff?

Money? Oh, I spent all my money, Gina. Ah-huh.

- Gone. - So you're broke?

Do I look broke to you, girl? Look at all this inventory.

I got stock.

Hey, Gina, uh, what do you think? Is it me?

Uh, it's.. That's nice.

- Excuse me. Martin? - Yeah, yeah.

Isn't that the jacket that I bought you for Christmas?

You know what? Maybe yes.

Martin, if you didn't like the jacket, you should've told me.

I could have gotten my $40 back.

- You know what I'm saying? - No, no. No.

Don't-don't-don't be selfish, Gina.

That-that.. No, don't do that.

- Hey! What's up? - Hey.

This is smooth, you know.

Oh, man, it's like a fireman kind of jacket, like that's bad.

Sixty dollars. Uh-huh.

No, that's not long, man. Unh-unh.

Big Shirly may not let you out tonight.

- Yeah. - Yay!

She's going to put it on lock down.

Martin, this is really nice, man.

But why does it smell like smoke?

- What? - Smell that.

No, no. I don't-I don't do that.

I don't give nobody nothing that smells like..

- See that? - What is it?

- What? - Ugh!

- Did Pam breath on this? - Man, give me that?

Martin. These earrings are melted together.

"Maleek's 99 Cent Store."

Martin, this place burned down last week.

It sure did.

Um, I got it at a discount.

Right, right. And I'm passing the savings on.

- Boy, take this mess. - How is it..

What're you talking about, man?

Ain't nothin' here under a dollar!

Tommy, I didn't say I was passing the savings on to you.

- Man, take this. - You know..

What I did.. Forget it!

All you all, get out. Step up.

I'm tired of you all treating me bad. Step..

You two, get out. I don't know you! You step!

Let's go, brother. Step. Step.

Sister, where are you going with this? Step, lady.

Get out of here. Step. Get out. You too. Get out, man! Step.

You can hear me through this. I said, step!

This stuff will be here tomorrow. I'll be here tomorrow.

I am not going anywhere.

- You are. - What?

Your rent is two months past due

and I'm here to serve your notice of eviction.

So you, get to step in.

There're some people out there that want me out?

Immediately.

- Ah! Get outta here! - Hell no!

I can't leave until you're out. You have to get out!

You have to get out, Mr. Payne! You have to go!

- You have to go! - Take this.

Now, who is the tall one on the left, Brother Man?

That's Sabrina.

She kidnapped Jesse's baby while he had him knees.

While he was in the hospital?

Huh! Woman in soaps don't cut a brother no slack, huh?

That's why I keep up with the stories, Martin.

Help me understand the honeys.

They're gonna think Brother Man is sensitive.

Right.

Hi. Hey, Martin. What's up, Brother Man?

Alright.

What're you guys doing?

Nothin'. Just chilling.

Looked for job today, baby?

Uh, I didn't have to look, Gina.

I got something better coming up tonight.

See, Martin, I told you, if you kept trying

you would find a job.

Which station are you going to be on?

No, no, no.

It's something better, Gina.

I ain't going to be on no radio station.

Me and Brother Man are going to sell t-shirts tonight

outside of Whitney Houston concert.

Whitney is large.

We are about to get paid.

Alright. We printed up these t-shirts, right.

At $10 a pop. Huh.

That means, one..

Ah, two..

Well, hell, Gina, you have been to college.

You do the math.

My cuz is going to buy whole lot of sandwiches.

I ain't going to buy nothing but sandwiches.

Sounds nice. Really nice.

Right, boy. You'll get cheese on that too.

- Alright. Yeah. - Uh, Martin.

Don't you need a permit for that?

Gina, I ain't trying to hit nothin' about no permit.

Please, me and Brother Man are about to get paid.

- Okay. - Brother Man, let's roll.

- Let's be a bad. - Alright.

- Then, good luck tonight. - Okay.

Luck? Luck? We don't need no luck.

- Girl, we're getting paid. - Okay.

- I love you, alright. - Love you too.

- Alright, babe. - Check you downstairs.

Look, man, if we're going to be partners

you gonna have to start learning how to use the door.

Hey, baby, how was the concert?

I don't want to talk about it, Gina.

What? Where is Brother Man, Martin?

Brother Man..

Well, he.. Ah! Gina!

Everything went wrong, Gina. Everything.

What? What, Martin? You didn't make any money?

Baby, I'm lucky I got away with my life.

Ain't nobody trying to buy one of these, Gina.

Oh!

"Whitty Hutton."

- Oh, baby! - Whitty Hutton?

Yeah. Whitty Hutton. Whitty Hutton, Gina.

Brother Man can't spell.

I didn't check with him.

I should have checked this shirt, Gina.

Oh, baby.

I blame the public school system, Gina.

They busting us to school and we ain't getting no sleep.

But no look at it, Gina.

Look at the picture.

Baby that's..

That's Brother Man in a bad wig.

Damn right, it's Brother Man!

Oh, honey, ah, honey!

- Stop! Baby! - Oh.

What is going on in my life?

But what happened to Brother Man?

I don't know what happened to Brother Man, Gina.

He was running with the slow bob, Gina.

Running with the slow bob.

I think he caught a elbow.

Martin. Martin. Martin, baby look. Look.

You're driving yourself crazy. Something is going to work out.

I know it. You just..

- Just give it time. - Time?

I don't have time, Gina. I have bills.

Okay, okay, Martin. Look.

You know what?

Look, I know we've joked about this and everything

Oh! No, I didn't think I would fall off though.

Oh, shoot!

Alright, but look don't be out worrying about me, girl.

Are you-are you sure you're going to be okay?

Why you worrying? See you worrying already, girl.

Alright? You know I would be alright. Huh?

I got to go do this 'cause I'm a man.

You know what I'm saying? You know? But, uh..

Let's keep your head up.

You know?

Got to keep the head up.

For you, for me. For us.

- Huh? I love you. - Yeah.

- Always remember that. - I-I know, Martin.

- Always remember that. - I know, honey.

Let me get up over there. Alright, you know where I'm at.

- Yeah. - Alright.

You trip. You know where I'm at.

I love you too.

Oh..

- Shawn. What's up? - Hey, man!

Good to see you. Wass up?!

Whassup, man. Where's everybody?

I am everybody, man.

They fired all the DJs.

I just come in every 8 hours and change the tapes.

- Well.. - What're you doing here, man?

Oh, I was just walking around, you know.

I was doing some thinking. Thinking about my career.

- 'Oh, yeah.' - So..

I guess I just ended up in the place I started, huh?

- Cool. - 'Yeah.'

- So what are your plans, man? - Oh, no, man.

I don't make plans no more.

- I just flow with mind. - Well.. I don't know, Martin.

Yeah, man, you don't have a plan

you could end up in a rut.

Rut? Please, man. It ain't no rut, Shawn.

You should know that. I've been making changes all year.

Wh-what about when I took over the "Choir Storm Show?"

Ah-huh. The line stale it up. Now didn't it?

Yeah. But you quit and came back to your old show though, man.

You know?

It's alright. Shawn! Alright, alright, alright.

What about when I went out to Hollywood, right.

And broke in on Jodeci, boy? Huh?

That took heart. I was like, bah! Can't see!

- Joe. Joe. - That was cool, man.

That was cool.

But you did come back to your old show.

Yeah.

So you were something about a rut, man.

Hey, I was in one before I came to Detroit.

So, how did you turn things around?

I hit the road.

I took off and saw the world, man.

And then one morning I woke up

in a trailer park.

And I knew, this is where I belong.

Shawn..

...I wish I knew where I belong, man.

Well, Martin..

It'll come to you, man.

Come on. I'll walk you out.

Hey, I'll spot you to a donut.

A donut. Shawn, youse a wild boy, man.

- 'Wild?' - Yeah, you are.

Whassup?!

Chicken.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, Pam.

This isn't like him. Martin's been gone all night.

He hasn't called me. I haven't heard from him.

Look, girl, don't even worry about it.

He'll be back. Don't nobody want him, but you.

Baby, baby. Is this you?

No, Mrs. Payne, I'm not trying to push up on you again.

No, no. I haven't heard from..

Look. Look, I will call you if he calls me.

Okay? Bye.

- How do you take that woman? - She-she's really nuts.

Hey, any news yet?

No, Tommy, I'm really getting worried.

Okay. Okay, don't worry, baby. Look. Calm down.

And no news is good news. Okay?

Mornin'.

Gina, you got any of the fruit loops?

Big Shirley's kid's drunk all the milk.

I ain't getting no breakfast.

Please. Martin has been gone all night.

Nobody has heard from him all night long.

Oh. He came by the crib last night around midnight.

Um, dropped this tape off for you.

Then why you sitting there talkin' about

some damn food?! Give me this!

Shut off the syphilis son of..

What's up, y'all?

The reason I'm coming at you all like this

is because I don't want you to talk me out of doing

what I got to do.

Oh, my God.

I knew we should've called the police.

Tommy, come on.

Look, I'm not in the mood for no bald head reasoning right now.

You know that.

Look..

I'm going to get away for a while. Alright?

Y'all? Gina?

I don't know where I'll end up, but Gina..

I know I love you, girl.

You're my boo, no matter what.

'But, baby, you deserve more'

than I could give you right now.

Gina, I know, I know.

I haven't forgot about our engagement.

That's the most important thing to me in the world.

'I'mma take some time to myself. Alright? You know?'

Try to get myself together. Find out who I am, Gina.

You know, learn how to be a man.

Keep my head to the sky, Gina. Alright, baby.

You know what I'm saying? Get the wind beneath my wings.

'Cause I know I got 'em, baby.

You know?

Gina..

But the good news is..

...I got a pager girl, alright?

'Gina, if you need to reach me anywhere in the world, baby.'

'Alright? That's right. You can hit me on the pager..'

...at 1-800-555..

- What happened? - What?!

- What's going on? - Wait. Cole! Cole! Cole!

- What did you do? - I'm-I'm sorry.

Um, the timer was set on the VCR.

How am I supposed to do that?

How am I supposed to contact him?

We were supposed to get married, Pam.

- We.. - It's okay.

- It's going to be okay. - Pam, no seriously. What am I..

How-how am I supposed to make it right?

I can't make it right with him if he..

Pam.
