(Darnell) How'd I end up in this?

I'm on the way out.

Ass lookin' like a black sea lion.

A brother's life was fine

until the day my troubles started.

[instrumental music]

[glass squeaking]

Aah!

You's a fine motherfucker.

[exhales]

(Darnell) You see, when I got up that day

I had Ms in my pocket.

Silk on my back.

But most importantly, I had the ladies.

Here I come, world.

Here I come! Ha-ha!

[engine revving]

[tires screech]

You know, it's funny, I thought if God wanted

all women to be happy

he would've made all men like me.

You see, I had the gift of gab.

And the smile that can book any woman's ass.

What's up, Miss Lady?

Which one of my honeys did I see that day?

Oh, yeah. First a brother rolled up on Adrienne.

You see, baby was a little shy.

Yeah, it's good. It means you're strong.

Means you're beautiful.

- That's right. - Really?

That's right. You're gorgeous.

That's right. Put it out. Put your head up.

Hell, yeah. I slobbered her down.

But look, I was just trying to help her come out.

[laughing]

(female #1) 'Adrienne, what are you doing?'

(Darnell) Then there was Nikki.

What you need to be doing, Darnell, is taking care of me.

When did we establish that you were my woman?

When I opened my legs to you, baby.

The contract was signed then.

(Darnell) Sweet honey

but she was always on me.

And I ain't on no motherfucking contract.

But you're still on the VIP list.

Better be. Mm. Get it right here.

Ladies.

Then I stopped by to see Gwen.

- That's your spot. - 'Ah!'

(Gwen) 'Ooh! Right there.'

- 'You like that?' - Ooh, that feels so good, baby.

You know, I've got to keep you happy.

Lookin' so beautiful.

- 'Mm, really?' - Oh, yes.

Well, you know, I've been working extra shifts

so I've been missing out on my beauty sleep.

Whatever you're doin', it's working like a motherfucker.

- Give me that foot. - Knucklehead!

(Darnell) See, she had kids. But they weren't mine.

I was just trying to help her out.

Uh.. Is this..

- Look at this baby. Um.. - She stinks.

Oh, God.

Is that her smellin' like that?

[baby crying]

Uh, no, don't cry. Tee just paged me.

I think something's going on down at the club.

And those were just a few of my honeys.

You see, I had a lot of 'em, but nobody special.

I loved the ladies. That was my problem.

Now, my boy Tee was just like me. Well, almost.

(Tee) 'Woah, woah, woah, time.'

But the time's expired and so is my..

What, what is all this? No..

You're dealing with the time, you know--

Step back. 'Cause you're all in my space.

I want you to do me a favor. I'mma give you this.

- Chocolate City VIP. - Yeah, whatever.

Do me a favor, write your number down on there.

The only number you're getting, brother

is the number to the ticket office. Okay?

'Cause I gots to go. Step off.

Okay, sweetheart, you ain't gotta be so mean.

- Whatever. - You still look good.

I'll call you later.

'Sup?

What'd you do, man, you get another ticket?

No, man, I got the number.

(Darnell) You see, I understood him

and he understood me.

And together we was runnin' this little nightclub thing

Chocolate City.

(Smitty) 'Man, I ain't giving you a dime of my money'

for no damn parking ticket.

(Tee) 'Damn, Smitty, but I was workin'.'

I don't care if you was selling oranges by the freeway.

'I don't pay for parking tickets.'

I pay your salary.

I pay a damn good salary at that.

Now, sit down.

(Darnell) Smitty was the owner.

He didn't take no shit.

Alright, man, I'mma give it to you young fellas.

Y'all have put some of the chocolate back

in Chocolate City, but I need more chocolate

in Chocolate City.

'Tell you the truth, ol' Smitty is just tired'

of trying to juggle this business by himself, so..

I was thinkin' about takin' on some partners.

- Somebody.. Somebody.. - 'Us. Us!'

Right here. Us.

That he can trust with the money.

Every penny of his money.

(Darnell) So my life was good.

And damn sure gettin' better.

That's why when I saw her, I stepped to her.

Like a moth to a flame.

A bull to a matador.

A dog to a cat.

Watch this, watch this.

How you doin', baby?

How am I doing, baby?

- I'm not your baby. - Excuse me.

Most men would've called you stuck-up.

Lookin' all like a Barbie doll.

(Darnell) That was it.

The moment that changed my motherfucking life.

Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. Uh..

That's no way to talk to a lady.

- Madame. - Let me get your door for you.

Look, he didn't mean nothin' by that.

He didn't mean nothin' by that.

- Yes, I did. - He just, you know..

Fell on his head as a baby.

So he's just been a little rattled ever since.

I see, well, maybe I should arrange for him

to fall on his head again so he can get unrattled.

Baby, baby, don't let nobody steal your joy.

'Uh, I would like to mend that broken heart'

by invitin' you to Chocolate City.

I wanna put you on the VIP.

Chocolate City?

Thank you, but no thank you.

Well, I just figured, since you in the neighborhood

if you come to the neighborhood to shop

come on and party in the neighborhood.

I don't get to the neighborhood very often.

- 'Oh!' - Drive on, Luis.

(Darnell) 'Don't be like that.'

Oh, Miss Lady, don't be like that.

♪ Everything about it is wonderful ♪

♪ He's just wonderful ♪

♪ Yeah wonderful ♪

♪ Jesus is wonderful ♪

♪ I wanna tell you he's wonderful ♪

Hold it right there.

Mama!

Mm-mm. What's happening?

I told you to stop slippin' money in my pocket.

- Oh, ma. - We don't need it!

Your daddy's social security, God rest his soul

does us just fine.

Ma.

I don't need to be borrowing money.

So, what's up? What you cooking?

Well, it ain't steak.

Alright, mama, okay.

Oh, yeah, now it's the greens.

Oh, you want your son to have some vegetables.

[laughs] Let's see what's in this pot.

Bam. Mama.

The home fries. The homemade fries.

That's what I'm talkin' about.

Mama, please, not too much salt.

You know what they say, make your feet fat.

So, mama, what's up? You been, uh, watchin' the talk shows?

(Mrs. Wright) 'I don't watch that junk.'

'I got enough trouble in my life already.'

Oh, ma.

[mumbles] Nah..

- Ma! - 'Hey, baby.'

What you doing here? What's up, Big Head?

Hey, mama.

Ma, guess what happened to me today.

What? What happened? Tell me. Tell me.

I got asked to the senior prom!

You did? Oh, that's so wonderful.

- Isn't that wonderful? - By who?

(female #2) 'None of your business, boy.'

Nobody you know.

What do you mean nobody I know?

Look, when somebody ask my 15-year-old sister to the prom..

Oh, your brother has the right to know with who.

His name is Rodney Smalls, okay?

- So anyway, mama, I was think-- - Wait, wait a minute. Who?

- So, I saw these little-- - I said who?

- Rodney Smalls? - Yeah.

- Cleofus' little brother? - Yes.

Oh, no. Y-you cancel that. No, mama, you..

Take her out of that.

Mama, do you know Cleofus' brother, he..

He mack more honeys, mama, than, than..

Thank you.

O-o-okay. I-I picked a bad day to come over.

It's a mama-daughter jump. Okay, okay.

Mama, you want her coming home with a little..

Little.. Enh-enh-enh.

Now, don't you get me started on you.

Miss Jacqueline and Miss Suzanne

and Miss Rita, and Miss LaQuisha

keep callin' on my phone looking for you.

I'm sorry about that, mama.

Darnell, you got your own phone

why you keep givin' these women my phone number?

'Cause, ma, if they call you buggin'

you, you're gonna tell them to go straight to hell.

You listen to me.

Your ways are gonna catch up with you one day.

A night full of passion can give you a lifetime of pain.

- Mama, ain't nobody.. - 'Darnell.'

It's a thin line between love and hate.

Ma, it ain't..

Mama, I guess it's your fault, mama.

You spoiled me. Heh.

You know, you loved me so good, mama--

Mia's comin' home.

Oh, don't act like you're not happy.

Mama, is that..

- That's what this is about? - No, this is not about Mia.

That girl's going on with her life.

This is about you, Deeny.

See? Now you're callin' me Deeny.

You ain't called me that since I was young.

So, now I..

[indistinct chatter]

[upbeat music]

- Hey, man. - Hey, D.

Didn't mean to lose y'all, man, what's happenin'?

What's up? What's up? Alright, now.

I'm still waitin' on you to ask me to dance.

Oh, whoa, baby, I can't dance with you till I get a chance.

When you get a chance?

Nigga, I don't know what ho you got me confused with

but I ain't the one for you to puttin' to the side, like..

Nikki, Nikki, Nikkie, baby, I'm..

I'm handlin' business first. Look, walk on over here.

Don't be sittin' at my bar, just sitting there.

Make room for the drunk motherfuckers.

(Darnell) Oh, Adrienne.

Look at you. You look good, you know that?

Go on out on that dance floor

and get your, get your boogie on.

C-can you get that? No, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm sayin', I'm sayin' on.. O-on the dance floor.

On the dance floor. Whoa! Whoa! Watch yourself.

'Cause I'm taking a rest.

Man, my pockets is full of numbers, man.

You crazy. What you're lookin' at?

[music continues]

She came.

(Tee) 'Damn.'

She motherfucking came.

(Tee) 'She dissed you earlier, she gonna diss you again.'

No, no. She wouldn't be here for that, partner.

- 'Yo, partner--' - She wouldn't be here for that.

Man, he ain't gonna pull that. Man, I don't know why the..

How you doin', Miss Lady?

- Fine. - I see you came to see me.

I came to see the club. Not you.

Well, since we both here, what's happenin'?

[Darnell laughs]

'Let me, uh, let me, let me get you somethin''

'to drink, Miss Lady.'

- Sean.. - 'Yo, D.'

Give Miss Lady a glass of champagne.

- 'Coming right up.' - On the house.

'On me.'

What you want, glass or bottle?

I don't know what you're selling..

...but I'm not buying.

[laughing]

She dissed him?

'Ah! My boy!'

'He look like a sad-ass puppy.'

Look, Look. Oh, he's hawkin' her.

Aah! She dissed you.

Hey, hey, she dissed nobody.

I got the number right here, boy.

You ain't got the number.

'She is kind of fine, though. Look at her shake that ass.'

Alright, listen, I bet you $20 you can't hit that.

First of all, I ain't gonna bet on the ladies like that.

Okay? Alright?

You gonna have to tell her you love her.

No, no. You know that's our code.

- Never tell 'em you love 'em. - 'That's correct.'

(Darnell) 'Now look, I'mma hit that. You know I am.'

'And when I hit it, first thing I'mma do is call you'

and all I wanna hear from you..

...is "Yo, D, you the man."

I tell you what. If you hit that..

From this day on, every day I see you

I'll approach you like that. "You the man."

(Darnell) 'We'll mack. She know we'll mack.'

(Tee) I ain't no player-hater.

Well, bet him.

- Where'd she go? - 'She m-m-m-macked out.'

[chuckling]

That was a good, what you just had, man.

[upbeat music]

- Hey, D. - Hey, y'all, what's happenin'?

Go, have a good time.

'Nah, you ain't gettin' away from me right now.'

Nah, not now.

- Alright, come on. Thank you. - Thank you.

[upbeat music]

Oh!

You're En Vogue, right?

No, it ain't En Vogue, it's TLC.

But look, I'm glad y'all came to Chocolate City.

(Mia) 'It's nice to come home and see'

that things haven't changed.

Mia. Oh! Um..

Mia, baby. What's happenin'?

I mean, you're back, baby.

[Peach clears throat]

So you can't speak to nobody, Darnell?

- What's happenin', Peach? - Yeah, what's up, Darnell?

(Tee) 'I know that ain't my girl!'

Aah!

[shrieks]

[laughing]

Girl. Oh, my, the service done you.. Ow!

Okay, how's my little Georgia Peach?

Please, Tee, look, I'm not even going there with you--

Y-you know a motherfucker 'bout to buy this.

But how are you really doing?

Well, now that I see you..

Then you're both cool? 'Cause I'm hot.

Can we go get something to drink?

Yo, what's up with the VIP?

Can we get the VIP with that?

(Tee) 'You are talking to Mr. VIP.'

- You see the jacket, right? - Ah..

Tee's gonna handle that. I gotta stay here, handle some business.

- We're going this way, ladies. - But I'll be there in a minute.

Just make sure you wait for me, Mia.

Mia.

You promise you gonna wait for me?

[upbeat music]

- What up, partner? - What's up, player?

- How you doin', man? - What's going on, boy?

- Oh, it's all good, baby. - Look at your ass.

Lookin' like a back-alley cowboy.

- What the fuck is up, huh? - You look..

Like you losin' weight, you need some pork in your life.

I'm not losing weight, motherfucker

What the fuck? You got clothes.

I know you got food up in this motherfucker.

Give a nigga a Kit-Kat.

[laughing] Come on, baby. Huh?

- What the fuck is this, man? - That's you.

- No, man. - That's you.

Ben Vereen can flow in this, but no. No, I can't..

You right, you right, he ordered that piece.

Okay, alright, hook me up with something else. What we got?

See, this is a little more smooth, you know what I mean?

Show your little cuts, your walk,

For somebody else, but look.

Okay, okay. Right, okay.

Alright, well, let me think. Let me go to the head. Bam.

This shirt is a $100, partner.

Motherfucker, we in a alley. Smell like piss and oil.

- Oh, man. - Come on, man.

You know how you can get that for $45?

(Tee) 'Yo, there was some fine honeys up in VIP last night.'

(Darnell) Except for Nikki, she got drunk

just started claimin' motherfuckers.

Oh, yeah, she did that shit in front of Mia and Peaches too.

You know what? I got a plan formed though.

Take her ass off the VIP list.

Gotcha. Gotta. Gotta.

Hey, yo, yo, yo, yo, check it out though.

Mia's looking kind of good, man.

Makes you wonder, man, she been around

Man, why.. Why you buggin', man? Why you bug..

'You need to be worried about, is the mystery woman.'

'Cause I ain't giving you no extension on that.

You know what I'm saying? I don't give, you know me Tee.

'I don't give extensions.'

- Tee, I got it handled. - I hope so.

- Alright, man. - Okay.

Old fatherly-figure type motherfucker.

You've got it handled? Ain't that about a bitch.

Oh! Oh-ho!

- Oh, yeah, whatever. - Whatever..

[tires screeching]

[laughs]

[engine revving]

(Darnell) 'Look at you. Mm-mm-mm.'

'Sexier than a motherfucker.'

I salute you.

With both hands.

What? Oh! Look.

I just, I just got to give you your props, uh, much respect.

Miss Lady, you handlin' your business.

- You look beautiful. - Thank you.

Uh, check it out, I bought you something.

[gasps] Ah!

[both chuckle]

Jujubes. God, I haven't had these in a long time.

Well, figured since you coming home

brother had to hook you up, you know?

Yeah, well, it's little things like this

that make bein' home special.

Yeah?

Well, look, tell me about the Air Force.

Uh, is it all it can be?

Yeah. You gotta get used to it.

It's a lot of opportunities.

Free education, travel.

I met a lot of interesting people.

You mean, like, privates, what?

- Airmen. Is that what you mean? - Airmen?

I'm talking about some of them "Top Gun" type motherfuckers.

Maybe. What you wanna know for?

I wanna know what's your rush for gettin' back?

[chuckles]

Wait a minute. Wa.. Hold it.

Let me get this straight.

Are you saying that the reason I'd go back is because of a man?

Right. Right.

(Mia) 'I don't believe you.'

Hello, Darnell?

Did you hear anything that I said?

If I re-enlist, it's because it'll be the best thing

for Mia...me.

That's all the bro who wanted to know, that's all.

[knock on door]

Could you get the door for me?

Something I can do for you, man?

Uh, is Mia here?

Uh, she's busy right now, but, uh..

Is there something I can help you with?

Oh, I think she's expectin' me.

Oh, o-okay, damn.

Y-you the, uh, chicken delivery boy, huh?

You're a well-dressed one, I'll tell you that shit.

- 'Is that you, Reggie?' - Yeah.

I'm out here trying to get past your little doorman.

- 'I'll be right out.' - Okay.

Uh..

No disrespect, partner.

You know, you just can't be too careful.

There was this chicken delivery rapist back in the '80s

just running around pluckin' motherfuckers--

Let me stop you right there, brother.

I don't deliver chicken.

My family owns Chicken Fixens.

In fact, we own 20 Chicken Fixens

and netted five million in profit last year.

- Should be obvious. - Damn.

You bankin' like that

and you come over here with a biscuit meal, man?

- I mean, you.. - Hey, Reggie.

There is a God.

I see you two have met.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Look, uh, I, uh, I thought we'd grab a bite

before we drove up the coast.

I took the top down on the Porsche.

Well, look, I don't wanna interrupt

y'all drivin' up the coast in the Porsche.

Especially with your Chicken Fixen biscuit dinner.

[laughs] So, uh..

I'm gonna roll on over to Chocolate City

'cause you know I'm 'bout to own it, so, you know

I gotta do some paperwork over there.

You know you're still on the VIP.

You know, if you bring anybody with you, please, you know

put a call in or something.

And, uh, you know, hopefully when we get

some food in the club

your boy could deliver the chicken.

- Oh, shit! - Can I help you?

What's happenin', brother?

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

What's up, man?

Pass?

Bleh. Got one.

No, there's.. Look, there's no chance.

No, it's not a mistake.

I.. It's a sure thing, Irving.

No, don't you think. You hired me to think.

Now just trust me. This is a good deal.

Tell Irving you'll call him back.

Irving..

I'll call you back.

Wow.

You know, I done been through a whole lot to find you

Miss Brandi Web.

For you.

Lovely.

Michael, take these out.

- Yes, ma'am. - Call security.

- I want him out now. - Right away, Miss Web.

Hold up. Security? Oh.

Whoa! Why you, w-why, why do you gotta go there?

Because you came here.

I only came here because I haven't been able

to think of anything or anyone

since I met you.

Met? W-we actually met?

That's what you think? Uh-huh.

That's what you call your immature play?

[laughing]

You're joking. You know, that's funny.

Oh!

Most women I know

seem to think I'm very mature.

Look, you just.. This is.. Stupid!

T-this is Lalique! Of course, you don't know what that is.

Michael, get him out, please.

Is there a problem here, Miss Web?

No, no. Look, call off your handlers.

Call off your handlers, please.

Give, give me a second.

A split second.

Look, obviously..

...I made a big mistake. No disrespect intended.

'I met a beautiful woman, I got beside myself.'

I apologize from the heart.

Forgiven.

Out.

- It's time to go, man. - Check-out time. Let's go.

No. I didn't mean to knock over your Malique.

- Man, you're not listening? - No, I am listening.

Hey, this is straight-up on the bullshit level, man!

Oh, y'all gon' throw me out over this lady?

Oh.. Look, brother.. Look, man..

I'm not trying to get all that.

Man, y-you just fake..

Man, you a flashlight cop, man!

- Take it on home. - Hey! Hey, man. Oh! Oh!

- Yeah! - 'Oh, that's cold.'

- Next. - 'Fake-ass toy cops!'

Show how much they care about you.

They ain't even give you no gun.

You're flashlight cops. I see you.

I see you.

Get them damn doors fixed, man!

Before you start throwing people out.

[instrumental music]

Hello. Sorry I'm late.

How you doin', miss, Miss Web?

Mr. Wright is in the c-car.

I see. Is he going to get out?

As soon as I

open the d-door.

[music continues]

I like it.

'I like it. A little small, but I like it.'

D-d-do this, boy.

I don't believe it.

What, what are you doing here?

I'm waiting for you to show me the house.

And to be perfectly honest, I don't have all day.

I don't mean to be rude, Mr. Wright.

Uh, call me Darnell. Please, don't mess up a brother's name.

Whatever your name is.

But I have a very serious question for you.

Because you see, this is my business.

Can you afford this house?

Well, to be perfectly honest..

I wouldn't be here..

...if I couldn't be here.

Now is this how you treat a potential buyer?

Fine.

Fine.

You can see that all of the marble

on the countertops was imported from Florence.

Florence and Normandie?

Italy, Mr. Wright. Italy.

My bad. I'm thinking Florence over by Crenshaw.

- You, you talk about.. - Yeah, alright. Now, we also..

This is a contemporary Mediterranean home.

I think the chandeliers are marvelous

and there are vast expanses of land out there.

How many rooms you say, you say this place got?

Fifteen. And you've seen every square inch.

And this is the final room of the house.

The master bedroom. As you can see..

It has vaulted ceilings. Lovely moldings.

A gas-starting, wood-burning fireplace, that is, uh..

How did this get here?

- Oh, this is beautiful. - It's a crystal baby bird.

'For you.'

[Darnell chuckles]

The asking price of this house

is $1.2 million if you wanna make an offer.

I'd like to offer to take you to dinner.

Mr. Wright, may I explain something to you?

I have an MBA from Harvard

I run my own business.

There's nothing that you can buy for me

that I can't buy for myself.

So don't waste my time.

Well, look, I can't afford this. This is a big house.

I can't afford it. I can't afford none of this.

The crystal baby bird?

Yeah, set a motherfucker back like a big dog.

What kind of game are you playing?

I don't know. I'm not playing no game.

See, when I came at you honest and direct

you wouldn't give me the time of day.

So you tell me

what kind of game are you playing?

Mm.

Oh, shit! Oh!

Oh, shit!

'Mother..'

Darnell, are you alright?

[groaning]

[neighs]

'Are you okay?'

Motherfucker cool.

[groans]

Why didn't you tell me you couldn't ride?

I'd have told you I could ride a monkey

if I can get close to you.

You know, you could've killed yourself out there.

Hey, hey. Do I get to shoot the horse if I break a leg?

Hey, shit. Whoa! Shit.

You know what the important thing is right now?

Yeah.

To get right back on, right now.

I ain't fucking with that horse.

- No. - No, come on.

You gotta get back on him

or you're gonna get a mind thing about it.

- Damn the mind thing. - You've gotta try.

I don't get back on, something

tell me that I don't.

Just do it. Come on.

Oh! The f..

- Alright, damn. - Oh, look at you.

- Now, the first thing you do.. - Right.

Is you mount the horse. That means you sit on the horse.

You know that.

There, baby. Oh.

- Thank you. - Okay, you mount.

- Okay. - This is serious business.

- Okay. Alright. - Okay.

- You get the reins, right? - Yes.

Now, after you got that..

...you really concentrate on your inner thigh

'right up here, right around to your behind.'

- Around your ass? - That's right.

- Okay? Has to be very strong. - Right.

And what you do is, once you got the horse going

once he's listening to you, it's this motion.

And that's why people don't understand

you've gotta be really, really strong

in your legs with the horse.

Till you're up there. And you're just riding.

- Right. - You listen to him.

- That's all you hear. - He listens to you.

- Right. - And then you really are..

Um..

You just become one with the horse

and that's when you're kinda really safe.

How do I become one with you?

Come on, I just..

That's what.. Yeah.

No, this isn't.. No, no!

Would you.. Okay. That's it.

- That's it. You know what? - Sorry.

I wanna go. Let's just go home.

Don't start that shit.

This is the perfect motherfucking place.

- 'Don't start that shit.' - No..

- 'What?' - Hold it.

What are you afraid of? W-w-what are you afraid of?

I, I'm not afraid of anything.

- 'Obviously, you're afraid.' - I don't want--

(Darnell) 'You bring me up here to go motherfucking'

horsey back riding now you don't know me

'cause a motherfucker get a little physical?

Stop trippin.' Kill that shit.

Look, I don't wanna be here. I don't know you.

I don't know who you are. I don't trust you.

You don't wanna be here, you're the one

that b-brought me out to this motherfucker..

And you don't wanna be here?

So you're telling me you trust a horse..

Excuse me.

More than you trust this mo..

That's right, that's right.

Because horses don't disappoint you.

People always disappoint you.

'Especially men, especially men.'

No, I don't trust you. Please.

Well, then I guess it's time to head back to the stables.

Yeah, why don't you?

Ah, please, if you buck

I'm knocking you the fuck out.

[horse neighs]

Oh! Oh! Look.

What you wanna do with this?

Don't you know this a man's game?

Look, girl, look..

You don't want none.

Now, you.. Oh, you gonna pull..

Don't stop.

In your face!

What you gonna do about that?

'Hold up, 'cause I'm about to wear you out.'

You look good even when you sweat.

Look at you. How you doing?

- How you doing? - Fine.

- So, uh, you beatin' him? - Oh, you know I am.

(Reggie) 'What time you want me to pick you up?'

- Five o'clock? - I'll be there five minutes to.

- Alright. See you then. - See you then.

[car engine revving]

You ready to finish the game?

'Getting a little breather right now, is that cool?'

- Can I do that? - What's wrong with you?

Nothin', nothin'.

- How's your little partner? - Uh..

I know you ain't tripping 'cause Reggie came over.

No, I ain't tripping, you ain't seen me fall

no-motherfucking-where, so I ain't tripping.

Well, you seem a little sensitive to me.

Nah, nah. Can I, can I get a swig of your canteen?

- Since you in the service. - No backwash.

Yeah! That's what it's all about.

Mm. Man..

Because I cannot be hurt.

It would not be good for me to be hurt.

Her daddy would be so proud.

I know, mama, I know. I know she look good.

You did a good job with her hair, you know that.

Yeah? Thank you.

Mm-mm-mm.

So you got yourself a rich one this time, huh?

- What you talking about? - Don't play me, boy.

These clothes, that limousine.

I did not raise you to be a gigolo, Darnell.

Come on, mama, I know what I'm doing.

You know what you doing. You know what you doing.

Yes, I do.

Well, do you know that Mia's going back

into the Air Force?

[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

(Peaches) 'But you don't want that job.'

- Well, what do you expect? - What do I expect..

Hey. Uh, I need to talk to you.

Just ignore his ass, Mia, and keep on walking.

We're trying to go bowling.

Uh, well, look, let me run you down.

L-let me run you down in the limo.

Right quick, alright? I'll run you down in it.

Uh-huh, that's alright, I'd-I'd rather walk.

- I'm not talking to you. - It don't matter.

Look, look, look. Let me, let me ask you something.

Hold up. Hold up.

Just, just give it to me straight.

Is it true?

You going back in the service?

Girl, I been caring since

I mean, since you had a rattle in your mouth.

I care.

- I'll catch up with you? - Yeah.

- You're wasting your time, Mia. - She ain't wasting her time.

You better stop feeding that old negative bullshit.

(Peaches) 'You know what, you're not gonna treat'

my cousin like she one of your hoes, Darnell.

Hey, ain't nobody say nothing about no hoes.

Okay, wait! Peaches, Peaches, I'll handle it.

Take care of yourself.

And you take care of yourself. She ain't going nowhere.

- Whatever. - She with this man.

Okay, you wanted to talk, so let's talk.

What's up with the suit and the limo?

'Cause we trying to hype the club up.

So, you know, I..

We thought it might be a good look.

In a limo?

Alright, Mia, alright.

This shit don't belong to me.

Brandi paid for all this shit.

The suit, t-the limo.. Whoa, whoa.

'Mia, hold on, now. Please. Please, I don't mean to gripe.'

'I don't like that. Hold on. Listen.'

Mia, it don't mean nothing to me. That's why I'm here.

'That's why I'm here.'

You don't believe me?

Look, I'll prove it. That shit don't mean..

Somebody selling cookies.

(Mia) 'Is everything okay?'

Oh, yeah, baby.

'I'm just, uh, getting my change'

back from the cookies.

[sighs]

Everything okay?

Yeah, everything's cool.

So, uh, let's pick up where we left off.

Mm, I was thinking

maybe we should wait a while.

I can respect that. I can respect that.

Well, can a brother get some breakfast?

'I mean, some, grits'

some salmon croquettes. Something up in here.

Yeah, I think I can hook up somethin'.

(Darnell) 'That's what I'm talking about.'

Brandi.

Look.

I'm sorry about last night.

Somethin' really important came up.

'I don't know how to say this.'

You don't have to say anything.

We had fun while it lasted.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, that

t-that's what I was going to say.

Hey, look. You know? Maybe we just be friends.

You know, be real cool, real tight like that, you know?

Couldn't agree with you more.

I was starting to get very bored.

Bored?

Oh, that's cold.

"Friends."

I like that much better.

Think I got somethin' that belongs to you.

[instrumental music]

(Darnell) So, uh, brother moving on.

So a brother's moving on, that's all you got to say

after all this time? Fuck you, Darnell.

You don't even deserve a woman like me.

You can't even handle me, that's what your problem is

you little weak-ass motherfucker!

I don't need your doggy-ass anyway, Darnell!

You ain't shit!

(Gwen) 'Oh, I'mma take Marvis to Disneyland.'

'W-we gonna go camping.'

It's wrong, Darnell, what you playing with people's minds.

I'm not playin' with nobody's mind.

Especially not the kids'.

It's just things didn't work out the way I planned.

Now, don't be like that.

After all your damn promises.

Just get out of my face, nigga.

Roll, punk.

I mean, last time I talked to you

you was talking about "Well, my dick ain't that old, Smitty

my dick ain't that old." So, now you're serious.

Serious as a heart attack, Smitty.

'Leave a message at the beep.'

Uh, Mia. This is Darnell.

I know you probably out with Peaches, so, uh..

Uh..

Um, I-I was giving you a call..

I was giving you a call, you know, to let you know

I was thinking about you.

So, get back if you..

Uh, later.

[sighs]

[sniffing]

[sizzling]

[alarm beeping]

Fuck..

You out your fuckin' mind?

What are you doing here, Brandi?

Good morning.

Darnell, you scared me.

What do you mean, I scared you? What are you doing, Brandi?

Well, I-I made you some bacon.

And I was making pancakes, but then I realized

I didn't know whether you like them dark, light, or fluffy.

You didn't know if I like 'em light, dark, or fluffy.

Brandi, get your shit and get the fuck out now.

- I'm not playing. - Oh, honey, you're cranky.

You just need coffee.

Take your biscuit batter and your fucking burnt bacon

and step the fuck off, Brandi!

You said you loved me.

I saw how you looked at me and you look..

You just don't feel good this morning.

- Come on, honey, just hold me. - Get your motherfucking hand..

Get your mo.. The fuck..

What the fuck wrong with you?

[intense music]

'Now, stop playing fucking games and get the fuck out!'

You put your hands on the wrong woman.

You gonna put me on the VIP list, huh?

Man, you wasn't even into the game anyway.

What's up, man? What's going on?

I'm caught up in a real life

"Fatal Attraction" up in this motherfucker, man.

[grunting]

Hold on, let me break this down for you.

You're going through what I call "Pussy withdrawal."

"Pussy withdrawal?"

No, you know, see, check it out.

You're used to a smorgasbord of honeys

and now you're just with Mia.

Know what I mean? You on lockdown.

I'm saying the refrigerator is closed.

The lights are out.

- Man.. - Hey, yo, Darnell.

The phone, man.

[Tee chuckles]

Hey, hi-di-ho. Hoo-hoo.

Take this here, man. This ain't the hotline.

And you ain't one of the Sylvers.

Man, you better hush before your ass get fired.

I'm 'bout to own this motherfucker.

- Just hush. Hush the fuck up. - Alright. Okay.

- 'Darnell Wright?' - Yeah, this is D.

(woman on phone) 'Yes, this is Wilshire Hospital.'

'Mia Williams has been in an accident'

'she asked if you..'

[gasps] Whoa!

My bad, partner. Excuse me.

- 'Hey, you can't park there.' - Uh..

(male #2) 'What the heck's the matter with you?'

'Learn to drive!'

Mia.

Mia, baby?

(Brandi) 'Darnell.'

Brandi, what, what are you doing? I got a call.

And Mia was down here in the hospital, she was hurt.

Would you have come if you knew it was me?

(Darnell) 'What?'

You think the hospital, this is a game, Brandi?

[groaning]

What happened to you?

You didn't have to do that, Darnell.

You know how much I love you!

Excu.. Excuse me? Do what?

No, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't..

[buzzer blares]

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, honey. No, they made me do it.

I didn't want to do it. Please, forgive me.

Darnell, forgive me.

- Oh, this is bullshit. - You're Darnell Wright?

- Yeah, I'm Darnell Wright, w-- - You're under arrest.

Officer, I think you got a motherfucker..

- You making a.. You making-- - You're under arrest.

- You're in for assault and.. - Oh, shit.

Please, don't hurt him. Don't hurt him.

Can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Look at this shit, Brandi. You stop playing.

- I love him. - You're choking me, man!

- Oh, this is bullshit.. - He's fine, ma'am, he's fine.

(Darnell) 'You gonna let me go out like this..'

(male #3) 'Can and will be used against you in a court of law.'

Ouch. Ooh.

(woman over PA system) 'Dr. Roderick, please call..'

I know you didn't touch her, baby.

I raised you better than that.

But you better be thankful that they didn't press charges.

The Lord must have been watching out

over your stupid ass.

Hey, I cut her off.

She was on some, like, old crazy stuff, ma.

Just wild. Buck wild.

Now you see what I been telling you

about these young girls you runnin' around with?

[car alarm blaring]

[dogs barking]

Stay here.

See, this is what I'm.. Mama.

[dogs barking]

What?

Mama!

She done throw a brick in my.. Shit!

- Hi, Darnell. - You think it's a fucking game?

You out your mind? You gonna throw a brick through my shit?

Let me kick your shit, Brandi.

- Let me kick your shit. Huh? - Hey! Hey!

How you feel about that?

And then you wanna disrespect me

in front of my fucking house.

You know what? You're fucking loco. You out your mind.

You know, first that old bullshit at the hospital

now you gonna bring that shit around my house?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

'You threw a fucking brick'

'through my Nissan. Shit.'

That's right. That's right, I threw it.

Get out the car then. Get out the car.

Honestly, if you big, bad

motherfucking bold you want to go ahead?

- Get out the motherfuckin' car. - Oh, yeah?

I guess you're the picture of health.

Yeah, motherfucking picture of health.

Mr. Perfect, Mr. Lover, everybody wants you, huh?

(Darnell) 'That's right. That's why the fuck you over here.'

- Oh, yeah? Yeah? - 'Yeah, I'm right.'

And what are you, welter-fucking-weight champion

of the whole world? What you going to do to me?

Motherfucker right here. Get out, I-I'll show you.

- You try it! - 'I'll knock your ass out.'

Yeah, I'm Sugar-smokey- motherfucking-Robinson.

- Now get your ass out the car. - Honey, let me handle this.

- Mama? - 'You can't hit a woman.'

- 'But I can.' - Little mama's boy.

And you better believe that

I will bust your head wide open.

You don't come around here harassing me.

Hi, ma.

Don't nobody mess with my baby.

Nobody. I will snatch your ass through that--

I've been wanting to meet you.

Get out of here! Get out of here!

- Watch out for your son. - 'I will snatch your ass..'

Get on out of here!

Get the fuck out of here, Brandi!

- I won't have this, Darnell. - Come on, ma..

I been living here for 45 years.

I ain't never had no shit like this happen to me.

I won't take this!

Now, you get a restraining order

before I have to kick out the rest of her brains.

- Alright, ma. Calm.. - Oh, leave me alone!

- Calm down, ma. - Leave me alone!

Damn.

Yo, Tee.

You ain't gonna believe this shit, man.

I come to the motherfucking precinct, right?

To get a restraining order like m-my mom's asked me

to do against Brandi, right?

'Cause I don't want to hurt the bitch.

T-that's just straight, I don't want

to hurt the bitch. Right?

But I go up in there

they gives me no respect in the precinct, man.

You know, they laughin' like, "She trying to hurt you, huh?"

'They don't believe it, man. Like I'm bullshittin' them.'

Yo, my car.

Sh.. My motherfucking car.

Oh..

[groaning]

She broke my shit down in front of the police station.

Aw, she broke me down to my break pads.

Aw, look at my rear view. Shit.

Oh! This.. Where's the justice?

Officers, where's the fucking justice?

[groaning]

This is bullshit.

Soon as a, soon as a person take the law in his own hands

he fucking wrong!

Man, I can't fucking go nowhere with no tires.

Damn!

Hey.

Yeah, yeah.

What's up? What's on your mind?

Ain't nothin'. Nothin' on my mind, girl.

Only thing on my mind is you. You know what I mean?

Yeah, well, it doesn't seem like it.

What you mean, it don't seem like it?

'Cause a brother like to look around, you know?

- Yeah. - See what's behind him?

Darnell, look, I know you.

And I know you're not used to being with one girl.

You know, have you changed your mind?

[sighs]

Only thing that I changed my mind about

is loving you.

That's right.

I love you.

Come on, now.

I love you too.

You don't love me.

Mm..

I don't love you?

Yeah, you love me.

You cold?

Oh, uh, no.

I'm fine.

You know, I got some blankets in the back.

I was going to use them for a cookout

but you can wrap yourself in them.

[phone ringing]

- Yo, yo. - 'How was your little date?'

- You looked cute holding hands. - Hey, what's up, boy?

(Brandi) 'Good time with your little friend.'

'Get rid of the bitch or I will.'

Yeah. Right on.

(Brandi) 'Get rid of her!'

Oh, that's sure enough a right on.

Tee, you wild, boy.

That was Tee?

[chuckles] Yeah.

That boy wild.

- Tee. I got to let Mia go, man. - 'What's up? What?'

Brandi talking that shit about hurting her, man.

- 'Get the fuck out of here.' - And, uh..

I ain't going out like that. Shit.

I ain't letting Mia get hurt being caught up

in my bullshit, man.

(Tee) Then, tell her the truth.

(Darnell) Even if she did believe my ass

she wouldn't let Brandi stand between us.

I just care about her, man. I care about her.

Listen, I'm looking for Darnell. Is he here?

Darnell? Tee, it's over between Mia and Darnell.

What's wrong?

Listen, we got a emergency at the club.

- I need to see him. - 'That's your problem.'

After the way Darnell dogged Mia out, no.

First of all, psst.. He did not dog Mia out.

It's that crazy bitch Brandi that said

she was gonna do something to you.

So he had to do what he had to do.

You know what I'm saying? Anyway..

Do you wanna come with me so we can try to find him?

- Yeah, Tee, come on in. - Alright.

D-D-Darnell! S-stop, stop!

Ge.. P-p-put your window down, man.

Man, you see any damn windows in the front of this car, man?

W-we g-gotta g-get to the

t-to the c-club, man.

[clamoring]

[siren blaring]

Shit! Look at this, D.W.

Man, I've been in this business for 15 years.

Now, maybe I should know better

but you tell me how one minute

I can have people partying in my club, and the next minute

I got water damage, fire damage, smoke damage.

Man, this is some freaky shit.

You know, if I didn't know better, I would think

that somebody was trying to ruin me.

Look, Smitty, just calm down, alright?

I think I know who did this.

Look, look, look..

I know who did it. I got it handled, alright?

What do you mean, you know who did it?

I think I know who did it. I got it handled--

Hold it, hold it, wait a minute, son. Come on, just hold it--

Trust me on this one, Smitty! Damn! Trust me!

[horn blares]

[intense music]

He said he's gonna kill that bitch.

Well, do you know where she lives?

- Yeah, hell, yeah, I know-- - Well, then, let's go find him.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Where are you guys going?

(Tee) 'I'm going to find Darnell.'

Brandi! Brandi, where the fuck are you?

Brandi..

[Darnell groans]

(Mia) 'Are you sure it's down this far?'

(Tee) 'I hope so.'

Tell me something, Darnell.

'You still the man?'

The main man.

You know what you are?

And I didn't think so.

You're a dog.

'You're a mad dog, to be exact.'

And do you know what they do with mad dogs?

I can't hear you.

No, what they do with mad dogs?

They shoot mad dogs.

But I'm not gonna shoot you.

Not for myself. No.

I'm gonna shoot you for all women.

But first, darlin'..

...look at that.

We gonna have my birthday cake.

[grunting]

Shit!

Know what?

You fucked with the wrong one.

You know something?

'A man just comes along'

and he buys us off a shelf and he plays with us.

Plays with us until he thinks we're no longer fun

or he gets us all dirty, right?

Then he wants to just throw us away.

And you know what? Let me tell you something.

Mr. Player, Mr. Pimp, Mr. Great Big Daddy.

We are tired of being your boy toys.

Let go of me--

...too through with your lies

and your wandering eyes.

Oh, yes, and let me tell you something.

We are not your bitches, your hookers

your whores or your honeys.

And you know what?

We do just fine without your dick or your money.

So fucking crazy.

So you see..

...you can't have your cake and eat it too.

- You're out your fucking mind. - Hey!

Let's retire upstairs.

- Yeah, you fucking crazy. - No, shut up!

You fucking..

[grunts]

Oh!

I'm so sorry, baby. Did that hurt?

Oh, fuck you, Brandi. Fuck you, bitch!

I don't know how the fuck you gonna get me upstairs?

Huh? 'Cause I ain't walking up that mother--

Oh, you're not, huh?

[Darnell groans]

Move it.

Move it!

[Darnell groans] This thing hurt!

[laughing]

You know, Darnell

it's funny how men cooperate when you lock in on their nuts.

Of course, I prefer the word testicles.

[groans]

(Mia) Tee, that's 3-3-3 right there.

- Right there. - Alright, shawty, I got it.

[engine revving]

(Tee) Hold on. Yeah.

[tires screeching]

Get in the tub.

I ain't gettin' in no motherfucking tub.

Get in the tub!

[gunshot]

[groans]

[instrumental music]

So..

...you have anything to say, Darnell?

Yeah, yeah.

I motherfuckin' apologize. Shit!

[breathing heavily]

I apologize.

But there ain't no need to kill a nigga over this shit.

[music continues]

I wasn't always like this. I wasn't.

I was a good girl. I-I am.

I just married the wrong man for all the right reasons.

Did you shoot his ass too?

Of course.

His woman was a blonde..

...and yours was a nappy head.

But I trusted you just like I trusted him.

You can still trust me.

You can still trust me.

And he just smiled, smirked

when I caught his ass pouncing up and down

'in my bed with some bimbo.'

[laughs]

Oh, it was amazing how he changed.

It was just amazing when he realized

I was about to electrocute his ass.

[electricity crackling]

[grunting]

[gunshot]

[Darnell groans]

You still think this is a game

you mother..

[gunshot]

- Oh, shit. - Shh.

[groans]

[banging on door]

Shit!

[indistinct chattering]

[beeping]

- '9-1-1.' - 9-1-1?

There's an emergency over here.

I'm trying to keep.. Ah!

Oh, shit!

- Oh, shit. Tee. - Mm..

Ah!

Get your ass up.

Where is Darnell?

Get upstairs.

- Get upstairs. - Alright, just calm down.

Just chill, alright?

'Everything's gonna be alright.'

We all need to explain things

so just stop waving that thing, okay?

This is some real Romeo and Juliet shit.

You are crazy.

Get your ass upstairs!

I can't believe this is the little bitch he wanted.

Get up!

Darnell!

[dramatic music]

Darnell, I got your little nappy head in here.

You ain't shit without that gun. You better shut up.

Darnell.. Where are..

Come out or I'll kill her!

Count to three! One, two..

[gunshots]

[glass shattering]

[dramatic music]

[water splashing]

(Darnell) I guess in the end, a brother's got to pay.

He's got to pay for every choice he makes.

(Ma Wright) It's a thin line between love and hate.

(Mia) What are you talking about..

Nigga, you full of shit!

(Gwen) All your damn promises.

Just get out of my face..

(Ma Wright) You just better praise the Lord

for giving your lucky ass a second chance.

[groaning]

(Darnell) There it is, y'all.

I stopped tryin' to be the man, and became a man.

I guess a ass-whoopin' will do that to you.

Just relax.

(Darnell) I got lucky when I finally opened my eyes.

Mia was still by my side.

As for Brandi, well, she taught me the true meaning of

of the words, "I love you."

Don't ever use 'em unless you mean it.

[laughing]

Damn..

...I'm truly sorry about what happened to Brandi.

I hope baby lands on her feet.

But they better make damn sure

they fix the dent in her heart before they let her out.
