Melanie?

Dionne?

Are you all right?

Me? (scoffs)

Sure. Why wouldn't I be?

You're at a bus stop.

Oh... yeah.

Uh, well, I know it looks like I'm waiting for a bus,

but actually I am just resting

because I'm a little... (sighs)

winded from, um, power walking.

But now I'm ready

to get back at it. Yeah.

Okay.

I guess I'll see you.

Yeah, yeah, and if you do, I'll be power walking.

Right.

Excuse me. You're in my seat.

Yeah.

Damn.

You're, uh, probably wondering

why I haven't continued my power walk.

Melanie, it's... okay.

Uh...

Listen, I just wanted to say

that I never intended for you to find out

about Derwin and Drew the way that... the way that you did.

Look, you know, it wasn't really your fault.

Derwin was the one that was creeping around.

And here I thought I couldn't trust you,

and it was him that I couldn't trust.

I'm just, you know, trying to get that behind me.

I hope that you can.

You know, I've been where you are.

Not at a bus stop, per se...

You know, I know it's not pleasant, so if you...

if you ever need to talk...

Uh... whatever.

Um, you know, you can call me.

Oh, okay.

Thanks, Dionne. I appreciate that.

Well, good-bye.

Bye.

Hey, hey, Tee Tee.

Is Tasha around?

No, no, it's safe. Come on.

Oh, thank God.

What are you doing?

A little something you don't seem to be too familiar with

called studying.

I study.

No, you don't.

Wait, wait, what's the matter?

It's no longer safe.

What? No, no, no, Tee Tee!

Don't leave me!

Uh, Med School.

Oh, hey, Tasha.

You know better than to be ducking from me

like I'm the po-po.

Oh, no, no, no.

I wasn't trying to hide. I was just...

Okay, okay, okay, look.

I know you want me out of here, okay?

And I've been looking at apartments,

but trying to find one that I can afford

has been really hard.

Girl, what are you talking about?

I gave you $5,000.

And I appreciate that.

But what am I supposed to do the second month?

Call the bougie hotline, 'cause I don't give a damn.

Okay, now, look, Med School, it's time for you

to join the real world and get your little life together.

And in order to help you out with that

I'm putting you on the clock.

You've got one month.

Figure, if I put a little fire up under your ass,

you'll stop putting it off.

Like you do with your studying.

I study.

No, you don't.

(French accent): Housekeeping.

Pardon, Monsieur.

I did not realize that you were still in here.

(British accent): Oh, it's okay, darling. Come on in.

I could come another time.

No, no, now is good.

Things get very dirty in here.

Ooh...

You're so large.

How did you get such a big muscles?

Bench-pressing housekeepers, I suppose.

Mm, well...

press away.

(moaning)

It's nice having chocolate on my pillow for a change.

(both laugh)

(moans)

You... you know what, babe?

I don't, uh... yeah, I don't...

I don't think I'm really up for this tonight.

Well, not yet you aren't.

No, no, seriously.

Seriously. Seriously, Kel.

What?

Are you saying you don't want sex?

No. No, no. That's not what I'm saying.

It's not that I don't want it.

It's just my workouts have been really intense lately.

I'm, you know, trying to get back my old form, and I...

Oh, well. I think I just, uh...

I think I can take care of that.

No means no, Kelly. Damn.

Why does it always got to be about sex with you?

Gosh.

Would it hurt to connect on an intellectual level?

I mean, can we talk?

Can we just...

Better yet, you know what?

Let's read. Let's read.

We're going to read a book.

Nancy Drew: Girl Detective.

Thank you, Brittany.

Okay.

"The Secret of Shadow Ranch."

Ooh. I wonder what the secret is.

Let's find out, shall we?

Okay.

Mm.

Melly Mel, looking for a place to live, huh?

Yeah, I heard Tasha put you on a clock.

What are you doing here, Derwin?

What's the matter?

Parents aren't covering your rent

the way they're covering your tuition?

(laughs): My bad.

That's right, they're not covering your tuition.

What are you talking about?

Mel, you're not returning my phone calls.

So I said, let me show her that I can step up,

and I'll keep paying your tuition.

That way, your parents won't have to.

So I called your mom.

You talked to my mom?

Well, I mean, I mostly just listened,

'cause, you know, that's how it goes with your moms.

But, uh...

she told me that, uh,

they didn't pay for your fall tuition,

which I thought was odd since,

well, somehow you're still in school.

You know what?

Where do you get off calling my mother?

I mean, Jason would never let Kelly give you any money,

and Tasha won't even let you stay at her house.

So who does that leave?

Wait a minute.

I do vaguely remember some clown rolling up in my house

and snatching your stuff.

Let's just be clear.

Okay?

Whatever happens with my stuff is no longer your business.

Come on, Mel, admit it,

'cause if Trey is paying for your tuition,

the only way I see him doing that is if you let him hit it,

and I've known that fool

for a while and he ain't that generous.

You know, get the hell out of here, Derwin.

Come on, Mel.

Mel, just admit it.

Be woman enough and admit it.

Be woman enough? Yeah.

If you had been more of a man,

none of this would have happened.

So you did sleep with him.

(sighs)

(clears throat)

(sighs)

You know what?

It don't even matter no more.

'Cause you can sleep with whoever you need to

to pay for school because I am done with you!

(scoffs)

You're done with me?

I was done with you first.

Yeah?

Mel, I'm so done with you, I'm on my way to Drew's.

How do you like them apples?

(huffs)

You know what? Go ahead.

Because I was done with you last week

when I got in bed with Malik.

What did you just say?

You heard me.

Why do you think Tasha's making me move?

It damn sure ain't because my feet stink.

Hey, Ty.

Hey, what's up, J?

Oh, not much,

especially below the waist.

(chuckling): Oh, yeah.

Steroids will do that to you.

Really?

Um... didn't you think that I might want to know

that they would break my penis?

Yeah, looking back on it, sure.

So you think I should go with these, uh,

miniature chocolate chip or the pork rinds up here?

Dude, did you not just hear me say my junk ain't working?

I couldn't make it happen with my wife last night, man.

She's not going to let me off two nights in a row.

What, do you have sex every night?

Yeah, why, don't you?

Not with each other.

Look, I'm not playing around, Ty.

Peanut butter crackers.

(chuckles)

This was a good choice.

This is not a joke.

All right, just relax, Pitts.

All you got to do is pop a Viagra

20 to 30 minutes ahead of time.

Trust me, you'll be ready to go.

I got some in my locker.

I'll hook you up.

Oh, oh, you just... you just keep it here?

What, are you banging the mascot?

(laughing): No.

Why, what have you heard?

What?!

What?! You didn't think I was gonna find out, huh?

You didn't think she was gonna tell me?

Fool, are you crazy?

Dog, you a dirty buzzard, man, messing with my girl!

What?

Bitch, you don't know what you're talking about.

You better back your ass up before I lump you up.

Yo, you soft, kid, you soft!

You soft! You don't know what you're talking about

with your punk ass.

Yo, playboy, we don't have to get down right here,

but I promise you we gonna get down.

You understand me? We gonna get down!

Get off me, Calvin.

(panting)

Punk.

Yo, Tasha, what is good?

If Melanie don't show up in the next five minutes,

I'm out. You heard?

Fool, if you keep talking to my moms like that,

I'm gonna knock your ass out.

Whatever's clever, dog. You want a shot

at the title, man, we can take it outside.

The hell. Uh-uh.

Y'all ain't gonna bleed all over my terra cotta.

I just got that.

Uh-uh, get your narrow ass back in here.

So... what's up?

"What's up?"

What's up is that you got some explaining to do.

This little mess you created--

it's going to stop right here, right now.

Oh, okay, so-so-so you're just going to gang up on me?

Oh, I don't think so. I'm out.

Med School.

Judge and jury, okay?

Judge and jury.

Little girl...

Look...

You think this is playtime?

I'm not playing with you.

You turned my house

upside down and then you put my son in harm's way

with your little games.

What if Derwin had taken this too far?

These are people's lives you're messing with.

Now, you need to do the right thing

and set the record straight

and tell him what really happened.

(sighs)

Okay, fine. Fine.

(Melanie huffs)

I didn't sleep with Malik.

See, I told you.

Why the hell you lying on me?

I didn't.

I said I got in bed with you, which I did,

but I didn't say anything happened.

You took it there. You let him.

Now y'all see

who's to blame, all right, so it's time to squash this.

I said it's time.

What? (mimicking): What?

Hey, yo, Malik, man, my bad.

That's cool, bro.

Hey, want to check out my new ride?

Word, man. That's what's up.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. What?

Now, you know I'm probably not going to throw to you

for a couple games, right?

Come on, man, who are you going to throw to?

Old man Jason?

Fair enough.

(sighs) Glad that worked out.

Oh, we ain't done.

Med School, I have tried to be patient with you,

but this is it.

We're at the end of the road.

I want you out today.

(door opens)

Mm, well, if it isn't the king of my jungle.

You put Brittany to bed already?

Mm-hmm.

I thought it was going to take at least 20, 30 minutes.

It always takes 20, 30 minutes.

Not when you bribe her.

I told her I'd take her to the movies tomorrow,

but it was worth it because Jane's...

got jungle fever.

(chuckles) (growls)

Now, come here and let me swing on your vine.

Y-Y-You're going... you're going to wear that?

Why?

It's my Jane outfit.

Yeah, but that's... that's your Jungle Jane outfit.

I thought you were going to wear the City Jane outfit,

you know, where she's clean and respectable and...

not in such a big rush to have sex.

(clears throat) (laughs)

Well, I don't have that.

It's still at the cleaners.

It's only going to take a minute to get it off anyway.

You know, see, this is your problem, baby.

There's no commitment.

Okay, if we're going to role-play,

you got to get into character.

I mean, I'm Tarzan.

I've already said too many words.

Okay, now, look.

(slowing speech): Now... now, you, go.

Bring back City Jane.

Ten minutes.

15, tops.

Jason, why are you stalling?

Tarzan no stall.

I know what you're doing here.

You don't want to have sex tonight.

And you didn't want to have sex last night.

So there can only be one possible explanation.

You're cheating on me!

What? Kelly? Come on, it's obvious.

You love sex,

but you don't want to have it with me,

so you must be doing it with someone else.

It's not that whore of a mascot, is it?

No! Don't lie to me.

I'm not lying to you. Then, what is it?

Look, I... Okay, if you're not

cheating on me, what is it?

You want to know? You want to know the real reason

I'm not able to make love to you? You want to know?

No, I want you to keep lying to me.

Okay, Kel, I didn't want to tell you this.

The real reason I'm having trouble in bed... is you.

Me?

I mean, yeah, yeah.

Lately, I... I haven't...

I haven't felt very attracted to you.

I-I don't know what it is.

I mean, a mid-life crisis, or...

I'm just bored-- I don't know.

Oh, God!

(crying)

Look, baby.

I'm sure it'll pass.

I'm-I'm sure it will pass.

It's not like I'm looking for somebody else.

God!

Kelly, wait, come on, babe.

(sobbing)

(sighing): Damn.

Melanie?

Hey, uh, is this a bad time?

Uh, no.

What's up?

Well, uh, you know when you said if I ever needed to talk?

I thought I said call me.

Well, uh, I would have, but, um, my cell phone is dead

and, um, I have no place to plug in.

Come in.

What happened?

Well, Tasha kicked me out.

Derwin hates me.

I have no car, no job, no place to live.

I'll probably flunk out of med school,

so I'm just going to go ahead and go home

before I do any more damage.

I just need to call my mom

and tell her that I'm coming.

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

Oh, just so you know, I don't do airport runs.

Thanks.

(sighing)

Hey, Mom.

Yeah, yeah, well, I was going to call you, but...

I know he did.

Well, Mother, I wanted to be the one to tell...

Mother, would you just listen!

God, I mean, just listen.

I know. I know. I know.

Yes, Mother.

Yes.

Yeah.

Melanie, let me talk to her for a second.

Yeah, just a second.

Just give me the phone.

Oh, okay, uh, hold on, Mother.

Thank you. (phone beeps off)

What did you just do?

I hung up on your mother.

How do you hang up on somebody's mother?

Who does that?

I thought you were a fighter, Melanie.

Well, maybe you thought wrong.

No, no. Any woman who rides the bus

in broad daylight is a fighter.

I was power walking.

See? Fighter.

So, how are you just going to tuck your tail

and run back to L.A.?

Connecticut.

You just called Connecticut on my phone?

Well, if you are bold enough to do that,

then you're bold enough to stay in San Diego.

You know, stand on your own two feet.

Even if they're on those shoes.

What's wrong with these shoes?

Melanie, focus, okay?

Look, I don't want you to be, you know, that girl.

The one who comes out here with big dreams

and then meets some jerk and goes running home to mommy

just to be the hometown joke.

Oh, my God, Dionne.

Is that what happened to you?

What?

No!

I'm still here!

Look, are you listening?

Because I was you, but I stayed.

Is that why you're talking so loud

even though you're only two feet away from me?

Exactly, yes, because, you know,

I-I'm trying to tell you that... that you can do this.

You know, so... so let's think.

Uh, what is it that you have

that is going to help you get by?

Okay, okay.

Um, a semester of paid tuition...

Okay. a, uh, valid bus pass,

coupons from Kelly.

Ooh, ooh, and, um, Tasha gave me $5,000.

Oh, God, but I spent $250 on these shoes.

Look, before you go wasting any more of your money,

I have a proposition for you.

What if I said that you could stay here?

Are you offering me a place to live?

No, no.

No.

I'm offering you a room to rent. Okay?

My guest bedroom, six months, $5,000.

But I only have $4,750.

Oh, I just assumed you were taking back the shoes.

Oh, my God, Dionne.

I'm speechless.

I can't believe that you...

You're actually not speechless.

You're still talking.

Well, can I at least say thank you?

Melanie, just, you know, do what you need to do

to get yourself together. Okay?

No, no, you're right.

Okay!

Wow.

Dionne, who would have thought--

you and me friends?

Landlord-tenant, okay?

Okay, okay, I know, I know.

I know, you don't do friends.

Right. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay.

Seriously, I'm going to need to see the money.

Oh, okay.
