Derwin?

(sighs)

(sighs)

Another bad dream?

Worse.

Derwin and I were getting married.

We had black eyed peas.

The food and the band.

(grunts)

Why can't I get his cheating ass out of my head?

Go easy on yourself, Mel.

It's only been a couple of days.

It's gonna take some time.

I don't have time.

Nor a car or a place to live.

And if I call my parents,

they'll just say "I told you so."

How did a college-educated woman wind up alone

without a pot to pee in?

Girl, you want a pot?

I'll get you a pot.

Hell, I got a whole cookware endorsement.

You can tinkle all over the place.

(chuckles)

Why are you teasing me?

Maybe 'cause you won't listen to me

when I keep telling you I got you.

All right, I'm gonna hook you up

with a car and a spot to stay.

Give you a few less things to stress about.

No.

Yes.

I won't. You will.

I can't. It's done.

And I don't have any more time to talk about it.

I gotta get back up to L.A.

I'm meeting with Nike about my '08 kicks.

Look at you.

Dragging yourself up and down the coast.

(sobbing): Because of all of my drama.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm gonna pull myself together.

(crying): See?

You're hopeless.

Mel, I think we should...

Kiss me.

I don't know, I...

I just, you know, I wanted to feel wanted.

Mmm... You know, just to forget the last few days.

I-I was tired of crying.

Mmm. But to sleep with Trey?

Sweetie, you could have just turned to alcohol.

Mm, instead of getting drunk on this champagne,

she decided to get drunk on the magic stick. (cackles)

Look at me all funny before 10:00.

Okay.

Tasha? What?

Don't make light. We are not okay with this.

Have you even thought about Derwin?

He's gonna be crushed if he finds out.

Damn him, Kelly.

Yes, damn him, Kelly.

He cheated on me.

Well, two wrongs don't make a right.

And three rights make a left.

So what's your point?

Yeah, Derwin and I were over when I slept with Trey.

Well, Derwin won't see it that way.

I mean, you didn't even wait

the customary cooling- off period.

Which is what?

Longer than three days.

I don't want to hear about Derwin, okay?

I want to know if I should let Trey help me or not.

What's to decide, Melanie?

You said he's your friend.

Just take Showcase Number One, let's roll.

Yeah, but we slept together, Tasha.

I could justify getting help from a friend,

but now taking his gifts just makes me look like...

I don't know, like...

The word you're tripping on is "ho."

Hey!

Trey offered me everything before we slept together.

You mean like a negotiation.

No!

He's my friend.

And I have nothing.

No car, no place to live.

Oh, yeah, that's right, you are homeless.

Oh, you need a place to stay.

You know what, Melanie?

You are our girl, and we love you.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

You can stay with Kelly.

I can give you an application

to the Sunbeam Parachute Package.

But a place to stay...

Yeah, no.

It's just my own little silly personal rule.

No single chicks around my man.

Especially those who give it up in three days.

Look, Melanie,

if you're really, really desperate,

then you can stay with me.

Thanks...

Tasha.

Look, all I ask,

you be neat and you be quiet.

No sleepovers, no sleeping out,

no international dialing, no drinking my wine.

Oh, and no company after 8:00

or before 10:00.

And don't even think about reading my magazines

before I do.

And I fixed 'em, so I know.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I'll take Trey's help. (phone ringing)

Oh, crisis averted.

Tasha Mack.

Now what, now?

Well, when?

Okay.

Okay.

All right, thanks for the heads-up.

What's going on?

Some investment group just

bought out the damn Sabers.

Tasha, please.

They've been floating that rumor for two years.

Well, it ain't a rumor when they got a new coach.

They got a press conference in like an hour.

Who told you about this?

(sighs) My source. What source?

You know what? While you're figuring it out

I'm gonna be pulling out the parking lot.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, this isn't gonna affect everyone.

Who? Derwin?

And why should you care?

Right. Right.

I don't.

Good, good.

You shouldn't.

Bye, baby.

Bye, sweetie.

Call me, Melanie.

A hundred says

I can sink this next putt from the wall.

Knock two zeros off, young sir,

you got yourself a wager.

Hmm. Hey, J.

Boy.

Hi, Derwin.

Don't bother knocking, come on in.

That's my bad, man. Is Kelly around?

No, what? Drew ain't enough for you?

(laughing)

You guys with your jokes, man.

I'm just worried about Melanie. She moved out last night.

So, I was... wanted to make sure she had a place to crash.

Oh, you mean someplace without Trey?

Yeah.

Yeah, we heard how you got...

(karate yell) ...in your own house.

Yeah, what happened, King Sucker Punch?

Was he a ninja?

Couldn't sneak up on him, huh?

With your whack ass...

Yo, Malik, man.

I shouldn't have hit you, dawg, I...

the other night... I just was in a bad place.

Half-assed apology.

A real one would have came yesterday,

with a basket of foreign meats and cheeses.

(phone rings)

Holla at your boy.

Look, dude, you got mini-camp starting tomorrow, right?

Unless you want some little rookie

coming up and taking your spot... MALIK: What?! Aw...

...better quit sulking and get your head in the game.

Hey, y'all, it just went down, fellas.

What's up?

Sabers just got sold. No!

Word? Oh, yeah.

This is bad-- I'm, I'm negotiating my contract.

And they replaced Coach Phillips

with some Kentucky-fried college coach named Ross.

Wait... wait a second, Mars Ross?

Yo, that's my college coach!

Oh, yes!

That's what's up.

* Mini-camp, mini-camp. *

Yo, the kid is out.

I'm good.

I'm screwed.

(blowing whistle)

All right, let's gather around!

Come on, let's bring it in.

All right, everybody knows what's happened

the last couple of days, right?

But we're still Sabers... All right,

That's enough hand-holding.

I'm Mars Ross, and I coach football.

I enjoy developing plays,

running drills and winning games.

Turnoffs: losing games.

From now on, this team is your life.

It's your girlfriend, your wife, your mother.

And I'm your daddy.

We're going all the way this year, gentlemen.

For those of you who doubt my program,

it's what got Ding Dong to the pros.

Yo? Who's Ding Dong?

Who's Ding Dong? Uh, who's Dong Dong?

That's right, Coach.

Go, Sabers!

Let's see what you guys can do.

Starters, take the field.

(whistle blows) Yeah!

Ding Dong?

Yeah, it's a little nickname Coach gave me back in the day.

It's cool. No.

It's not.

Whedon, you're out.

Ding Dong, you're in.

Wait, wait, where, where you going, Ding-a-Ling?

Guess Coach Ross wants to see how I look with the starters.

Time to show him I got my head in the game.

*

(grunting)

(grunts)

And... hut!

Damn, come on, Malik!

Pitts, trade out with Whedon.

What, you're pulling me 'cause Malik's overthrowing passes?

You look like you need to work on your conditioning.

That...

That is crap, man. You know it.

Hey. I know what this is about.

Hey, Pitts. No, Kenny, what?

I'm not scared of some taco-eating college coach.

You're a ten-year vet, Pitts. You only need to be

at mini-camp if you've got something to prove.

If you wanna leave, please do.

(players grunting)

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

What about baby-sitting?

What about moving expenses?

What about more wine?

Ladies, ladies.

This is exactly why we have the Sunbeam Assistance Plan.

Yes, the team's in crisis, but we're sisters,

and now more than ever, we need to be there for each other.

Kel, Code Five.

Ladies, up and out. This is not a drill.

Grab your purses

and babies and move.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Code Five?

You walked out of mini-camp?

Jason, we're in the middle of negotiations.

You're supposed to be there impressing the coach.

He benched me, Kelly. Me.

Never been benched before in my life,

which is why I'm calling a Code 401K.

Jason, you're not going to retire after one bad day.

(sighs)

Face it, Kelly, it's over.

They restarted my negotiations.

You think they're going to pay top dollar

for a receiver that's past his prime?

I don't want to end up that guy

that used to be Jason Pitts.

I'd rather tighten the financial belt

and walk now with some dignity.

You walk now, it's as a quitter.

Baby, I've been working so hard.

Then you'll work harder.

And every time you step on that field,

you're going to remind them

that the Sabers are nothing without you.

And after the championship--

because you are going to lead them

to the championship--

they're going to have to pay you so much

that we're only going to eat meatloaf once a week.

Wow. You're talking about a lot of money.

That's how much I believe in you.

Why are you with me, baby?

Because you've already taken my best years.

(laughs)

Man, I am feeling this voice recognition.

Call home.

COMPUTER VOICE: I'm sorry.

Oh, uh, call home?

I'm sorry.

Call home.

Calling home.

(laughs)

I guess it knows you don't have a home.

Oh, come on.

(both laughing)

Hey, Big Snook found a spot up in Big Sur.

I was thinking we could take a long weekend.

So, you mean, like, kind of a romantic thing?

Yeah, I was hoping so.

Is that a problem?

Uh...

Trey, I think we need to talk.

Um, I'm not sure I'm ready for all of that.

Well, I think you're going to hate this, then.

(laughs)

Trey?

Are you for real?

Are you not?

Mel, this wasn't just a hit it and quit it.

Come on, you know I've been feeling you since college, girl.

Well, yeah, I guess I kind of knew,

and maybe I like that, but Trey, I'm not sure...

Look, look, you were with Derwin.

Derwin blew it.

You and I work.

Yeah, but Trey, I don't want you to be the rebound guy.

And as much as I hate Derwin right now,

I'm not sure I'll be all there.

(sighs)

And that's not fair to you.

Come on. You're killing me, Mel.

Well...

I guess you're going to hate this, then.

(sighs)

I think I'm going to have to pass on the truck and condo.

You want me to give the condo back?

Mm-hmm.

All right. I'll give it back.

It's cool.

It's not like I had the place furnished.

All the utilities turned on, you know.

A mural of us painted in the bedroom.

(laughs)

You know it wouldn't be right.

So, what you going to do about school?

Oh, school. Right.

Uh, oh, that's something

I haven't thought about in three days.

(sighs) Damn.

I'll figure out something.

(sighs)

I just...

wish I knew somebody with money.

I mean, I guess I could pay him back.

With interest.

You're going to make me work for this, aren't you?

No.

I'm just waiting on you to ask.

May I please

have a loan?

Just for the semester.

Got any collateral?

You know, like a car

or a fully-furnished condo?

A mural?

Trey.

I got you...

as always.

Thank you.

(indistinct chatter)

Good looking out on that inside info.

I'm glad you haven't taken a hit

in this whole takeover mess.

I appreciate that, Tasha.

And you're welcome.

(scoffs)

So Kenny's your Deep Throat?

Black women don't do that.

That's nasty.

And you know Kenny and I aren't like that anymore.

Oh. So you're okay that he's getting married.

He's getting married?

No. Got ya! (laughs)

Let's go! Yeah! Show us what you got!

So, boy, you ready for the sprint drill?

Oh, yeah. Feel loose, focused. Let's go.

Oh, that's great, man, that's great.

Hey, found out where your girl's crashing.

Where? My Moms and me.

Quick question.

Yeah. Does she sleep naked?

Oh, never mind, dawg. Don't even answer it.

I'll find out myself.

Have a great run, brother.

ROSS: Ready and hut, hut!

(applause) Next man!

There you go.

ROSS: Ready...

and hut, hut.

There you go, baby...

(overlapping chatter)

Hey, hey! Set...

Hey, solid, Pitts.

A little below your average.

Oh, man. (laughter)

KENNY: Hey, way to go, Davis.

Yours was the best time today.

ROSS: That's the Ding Dong I know.

MAN (laughing): Ding Dong.

MAN: Ding Dong

Jason, don't worry about it.

It's all about the big game.

What-What are you even doing here?

It's okay. I'm here under Tasha Mack Mana...

No, it's not okay. It's not okay.

This is my job, Kelly.

I don't give a damn about Tasha Mack Management.

I don't need you hovering around.

Don't let it get to you, girl,

'cause you know that's some misdirection right there.

You're right.

Emotional walls...

emotional walls.

Mm. I hope you don't mind.

I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow.

Girl, ain't nobody studying your juice intake.

You can drink whatever.

Is that a juice ring on my counter?

(door opening)

Is that a cheater in my hallway?

Hey, Mel.

Can, we, uh, talk?

Oh, so, you're just going to ignore me in my own house?

Oh, no. I-I'm sorry, Tasha.

How you doing?

Mm.

What do you want?

I know I'm probably the last person

you want to see right now, but

I just came to tell you

that I want you to have the apartment.

I don't want the apartment.

Okay.

Okay, well, the car will be fixed next week.

Yeah, well, I got a new bus pass.

Okay, a new bus pass.

Well, uh, I'm still...

still going to cover your tuition,

'cause I don't want your parents having to pay for your school.

I made a commitment.

(scoffs)

This guy.

Okay. Okay, Mel, all right?

At least... at least let me honor that commitment.

My tuition is taken care of.

Bet your parents is eating this up, huh?

(scoffs)

Don't worry about my parents.

TASHA: Melanie, let your company know it's almost 8:00.

You heard her.

Well, um...

Well, maybe when you get settled in,

we could maybe grab...

Good-bye, Derwin.

(cracks knuckles)
