TASHA: And why is your husband over there?

I haven't been able to talk to my son in days.

* He got cats and whatnot.

I'm telling you, something's going on.

I can feel it.

It's, like, my pressure's all up.

Oh, and don't think I haven't noticed

your shifty eye movement, Kelly Pitts.

That's the third time.

So if you don't fess up, you're gonna wind up on one of

them Dateline specials about missing white women.

Marta! I'm empty.

Okay! I'm divorcing Jason.

What that got to do with the whereabouts of Malik?

Thank you, baby.

I'm finally leaving him.

I thought you'd be clicking your heels.

Just a little bit more.

I'm going through a divorce.

Thanks.

Hell, I was sure you'd get your hair wet for the occasion.

You were the one who started this campaign two years ago.

Huh?!

I will not go on record for busting up a marriage.

Uh, Marta, baby, you forgot my chips and salsa.

Bad karma for a sister

hoping to make it down the aisle for once.

Maybe even squeeze out another baby.

That's the third time that you brought up getting married,

and now Miss Jane Pittman wants a baby?

(scoffs) What's up with you?

Something.

(laughs)

Tasha, I need Pookie's number.

(laughs) Look at Med School trying

to put a hit out on somebody.

(laughs)

I'm proud of her.

You finally growing up, girl.

'Cause that's right.

If you can't solve your man problems, you take your man out!

Oh, I got my man back.

I just need to take out his baby's mama.

*

*

Melanie, are you okay?

Yeah.

I mean, you ain't about to snap or nothing?

'Cause you know they always say the killer

did something odd before she committed bloody murder.

Oh, I don't want to kill her.

I just want to get rid of her, so I can get my life back.

Maybe she's lying.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, she's definitely pregnant.

It doesn't mean it's his.

You can find out the paternity right now.

They have a test.

They won't do it.

It's too risky at her age.

Unless she's lying about that, too.

Sneaky bitch.

(sobbing): I can't believe this is happening!

I'm, like, crying every two seconds.

(sobbing softly)

Hey, you know what we could do?

We could dispatch the Sunbeams Investigation Unit.

You know, gather some incriminating evidence.

Stir up some reasonable doubt on the sneaky bitch.

You'd do that for me?

Of course.

Sunbeams for life.

You know,

as a woman who had to raise her son on her own in this world,

I just find it extremely unsettling that you two hoes

would intentionally try and sabotage another woman.

Hell, you the sneaky bitches!

Get out my house.

You disgust me.

This is a clear case of trapping,

and you know it, Tasha. Oh!

She's trapping him because she got pregnant

by a man that she loved?

He doesn't love her!

Okay, cared for deeply.

Deep enough to move in with.

Yes, Melanie, they were in a relationship.

Derwin was digging her, literally and figuratively.

They had consenting sex that produced a child.

Okay, now, you the sneaky one for wanting to kill her!

I was playing.

Well, it ain't nothing to play with.

Girl's gonna have a hard enough time as it is

being a single black mother,

and here you are trying to drag her good God-given name

through the mud. (groans)

Don't make this racial, please?

Raising a child alone is hard for any woman of any race.

You'll soon find out, won't you?

What's going on with you and Jason?

We're getting a divorce.

Oh, God!

It's the end of the world!

Next you're gonna tell me Tasha's doing a white guy.

Half right.

I'm doing Rick Fox! Oh!

Cannonball!

Crybaby bitches!

(smooth R&B music playing)

JANAY: Hi. Take a good look around.

Everything in the store is 30% off.

Thank you.

Janay?

Melanie?

Oh, my God!

What are the odds we'd run into each other?

Very high, since this is my store.

Oh, well, uh, I had no idea this was your place.

Really?

The name of the store is Janay's.

What is it, Melanie?

Do you want me to pee on a stick, too?

Actually, I was hoping we could talk.

(clears throat)

Alana.

Can you come out and help cover the floor, please?

Cover what?

There's nobody out here.

Oh. Then maybe I don't need you.

I'll go round up some customers.

Water?

Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great.

Might help me get through my little speech.

Oh, well,

excuse me.

I have to, uh, take my prenatal vitamins.

Yeah, it's important for you to stay healthy.

That way, you have enough energy

to figure out who the father is.

(chuckles): Oh.

Is that where we're going today?

Yeah.

See, I don't believe you're carrying Derwin's baby.

In fact, several Sunbeams

spotted you in Miami

during the championship with, um, Romel White,

a cute sports attorney from D.C.

And you were seen leaving his hotel room

at 3:00 in the morning.

You left out the part about us hanging out

on South Beach all day

and him rubbing sunscreen on my back.

Oh, I know.

Wanted to save that nugget for Derwin.

Omega threes.

Perfect for the baby's brain development at ten weeks.

And see, ten weeks ago,

I was still with Derwin, well before Miami.

In fact, I think I was moving in with him.

You remember that night, right?

So, see,

none of this really makes a difference, does it?

Because no matter what you say or do,

it doesn't change the fact that this baby inside of me is real

and that Derwin is the father.

Drink up.

You look a little dry.

* If you think you're lonely now, ah *

* Wait until tonight, girl

* If you think you're lonely now *

* I'll be long gone

* And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right *

* If you think you're lonely now *

Get out of here, Jason!

* Wait until tonight *

(door slams) * Just remember I made it a known fact *

* Well, it's got to just come out of the closet... *

(music fades)

Hey, Tasha, hop off of Rick.

Mama needs a party.

Mm. (door opens)

Girl...

you getting real good with that key.

Hope I can keep it.

All right, Mellie Mel, do not go there, okay?

This is us, it's me and you,

and baby, we are back.

Okay? Here, come here, come here. Sit down.

Come here.

I think this is the flavor

that you and your girls like, right?

Yeah, well, there isn't one we don't like, so, yeah.

(both chuckle)

See, there she is.

There's my girl.

Are you here?

Yeah, I'm here.

You here with me?

Mm-hmm.

Baby, this is what I was trying

to say to you the other day.

* You're the only one

* Who knows what I go through... *

(humming along)

You hear that?

You hear it, Mel?

Baby, that's me and you.

* Mm... child

* You're my angel

Come here.

You're so beautiful.

(sighs)

Mellie, I love you so much.

(sighs)

* Angel

Mm.

* You're my angel

I'm so glad you're back.

* Angel...

And this is what I was trying

to tell you the other day.

* My angel...

Derwin, it's okay. It happens to everyone.

No, Mel, okay?

Not to me it don't.

I hope it's cancer.

Derwin!

No, I'm serious. Cancer I can beat.

(knocking at door)

Who is it now?

Don't want nobody to see me like this.

Oh, you're just stressed.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Oops, wrong choice of words.

(chuckles)

Got jokes.

Derwin Davis?

Hey, what's up?

COURIER: Will you sign here, please?

Yeah.

What's that?

I don't know.

It's from Janay's attorney.

Janay's releasing me from any paternal liability

to my unborn child.

Why would she do that?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, because of me.

(gasps)

I got you off the hook!

Tell your penis!

Tell your penis! Hey, whoa, whoa!

Wait, wait, Mel. What are you talking about,

you got me off the hook? Oh.

I went by Janay's boutique today.

You what?! Uh-huh.

And I confronted her about hanging out

with another guy in Miami.

That's who got her pregnant, and she knows it.

She got scared, and now she's backing out

trying to make you look bad, but whatever.

We won!

Melanie, why would you do that?

Well, you wouldn't confront her, so I did.

Um, hello?

You're welcome.

I saved you from being trapped by her.

Melanie, you should not have done that, okay?

Yeah, we're back together, but this is still a situation

that only involves me and Janay.

Oh, really? Okay, well,

I have to be honest with you, Derwin.

I think I'm a little bit involved.

She's giving you a way out,

so take it so we can get on with our lives!

No, Mel, I'm not signing this, okay?!

I'm not giving up my rights!

I don't want to find out later that that

baby is mine and not have been there.

I mean, God, Mel, would you even want a man

who would sign a paper like this?

Really?!

(sighs)

Derwin, have you and Janay discussed other options?

Whoa, whoa, Melanie, do not go there.

No, I'm curious

to know if you guys talked about it.

Would you get rid of your baby? No!

Because it would be yours!

I don't want you to have her baby!

Oh, Mel, Mel, Mel, it's okay.

(sobbing softly)

God. I'm sorry.

It's... No, no, no, no. Sorry.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

It's okay. It's okay.

Listen, baby, listen. I love you, okay?

And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

But as much as we want

this situation to go away, it's not.

Okay, it's not.

Now can you deal with it?

For the rest of our lives?

I don't know.

I don't know.

(sighs)

Man, forget her.

If "In Your Eyes" didn't work, then that's on her.

(sneezes) Hmm, bless you.

No, I went with "If You Think You're Lonely Now."

What? That ain't a love song, that's a threat.

You're a monster.

Whatever, man.

Yeah, a perfect monster answer, too. Whatever.

Just tell Tee Tee I want a 7:30 wakeup call.

I'm going to bed.

Shouldn't be like this, man.

I married white.

Come on, man, we got to do something

to get you out your funk.

No, I'm fine. Leave me alone.

No, bump that. I'm fine.

Get up, get up, boy.

Papa needs a party. We're going out.

(cat yowls) Oh, I'm sorry, Octopussy.

Oh, I'm sorry, pumpkin.

(sneezes)

(shudders)

You all right, baby?

You're looking kind of gray.

Melanie. H-Hey.

I didn't think you were going to be home tonight.

Change of plans.

You know, this whole thing with...

Okay, I... I slept with Superman.

You what?!

It...

You know, I had to park, like, four blocks away...

She, um... (clears throat)

She-She knows.

Cool.

Y'all still got those chips I like, right?

Look, it was the other night,

and, um, just... he came to get his stuff.

He was so sad, and-and we were drinking,

and just, one thing led to another...

You stank bitch.

I know.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

But this is why I'm telling you.

You told because you were about to get caught!

Okay, yes.

But...

God, Melanie,

I really, I really am. I'm so sorry.

So sorry that your stank ass

was about to sleep with him again?

Melanie, look, you just... you have to forgive me.

JEROME: Wait. No, wait. Wait a minute.

Why are you even apologizing to her?

If anybody's stank, it's you.

Excuse me?

You heard me. DIONNE: No, no.

He's right, though, because...

because you're not perfect either, Melanie.

I mean, she was creeping around with Derwin behind your back.

She what?

Mm-hmm. Yep.

I wasn't even talking about that.

Wait, let me get this straight.

You cheated on me

when you stood there in the street

and you... and you said, "Jerome, promise me

that you will break up with me before you ever cheat on me."

I said that?

You are more stank than I thought.

Look, it was one kiss.

Nowhere near as stank as what you're doing.

God, Dionne, I thought you were my friend.

I am your friend, Melanie,

but, God, I was... I was lonely!

That's not an excuse!

No, it's not an excuse for you.

Because you have somebody, right?

You always

have somebody.

You don't know what it's like to come home

after a long day, and all I have is-is this big, beautiful house

and a great bottle of wine...

...and a-a fresh pack of batteries.

Melanie,

everything is so easy for you.

Easy for me?! Yes!

I come home to your house, your wine, your batteries,

because I have nothing!

I gave up everything

for the only man I've ever loved,

and what does he do?

He goes and gets some bitch pregnant!

(scoffs)

Melanie... (sniffles)

I'm so sorry.

Oh, please, please don't move out, okay?

Please don't move out.

I don't even want him.

I want you. I want...

(sniffles) this friendship that we've...

sort of been honing in on.

Just...

Oh, Dionne.

I'm so sorry.

(sighs)

Look, I don't want you to be lonely.

I mean, if you want to get back with him,

you can have him.

Oh, God, no.

I don't even like him, really.

You know what? Y'all are a mess.

Well, apparently life is messy.

Kind of like your foreplay.

I'm sorry, what?

Just strawberries and ice...

kind of made me feel like I was in a smoothie.

Okay, you got jokes. Okay.

All right, well, let's recap this little mess then, shall we?

I got you.

I really got you.

So who's the big winner here?

Mr. Foreplay.

Oh, by the way, got these.

Have a good one.

(door closes)

He didn't get me.

He didn't get me, either.

Mm-mm.

Stupid.

Loser.

(both laughing)

* Them baggy sweat pants

* And the Reeboks with the straps *

* With the straps * * She turned around and gave

* That big booty a smack * Hey! *

* She hit the floor * She hit the floor *

* Next thing you know

* Shorty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low *

* I ain't never seen nothing that'll make me go *

* This crazy all night, spending my dough *

* Had a million dollar vibe and a bottle to go *

* Them birthday cakes, they stole the show *

* So sexual, she was flexible

Malik! Malik!

* Hold up, wait a minute, do I see what I think I...? Whoa! *

* Did I think I seen shorty get low? *

* Ain't the same when it's up that close *

* Make it rain, I'm making it snow *

* Work the pole, I got the bank roll *

* I'm 'a say that I prefer them no clothes *

* I'm into that, I love women exposed *

* She threw it back at me, I gave her more *

* Cash ain't a problem, I know where it goes *

* She had them Apple Bottom jeans, jeans *

* Boots with the fur * With the fur *

* The whole club was looking at her *

* She hit the floor * She hit the floor *

* Next thing you know, shorty got low *

* Low, low, low, low, low, low, low *

(sighs)

Why haven't you returned any of my phone calls?

Yo, Ma, tone it down. You loud, all right?

Well, I'm about to be convicted of murder,

if you don't tell me what the hell's going on!

And why I got to hear it off the streets you got a cat?

Mom, relax. I just got back in town.

I lost my cell phone.

Tee Tee's out buying me a new one. I'm in transition.

You must have forgotten you were ripped from my womb, huh?

Well, I haven't.

Still can't do a good power squat.

So I know when you're lying

through your teeth, Malik El Debarge Wright. Okay.

You know what, you're right, all right?

You shouldn't have to go through all my names.

Shoot, I lead men in battle.

So I'm 'a just be straight up with you.

I ran off to Vegas and married Robin Givens.

Yo, Ma, I wanted to tell you, all right?

But I ain't want to have to go through all of this.

It's like, sometimes I feel like

I can't be honest with you.

'Cause if I make a decision you don't like,

you always go straight to, "I'll cut you."

I made a good choice.

Robin is beautiful, she's successful.

You loved her in Brewster's Place.

Yo, Ma, why you looking at me like that?

Like what?

Like you're stupid?

'Cause that's what you are-- stupid!

Malik, you've been on your own for what, less than six months,

and this is the dumb crap you do?

I get you this far and this is what you're gonna step in?

Did you even get a pre-nup?

Did you, Malik? No, you didn't!

You want to know why?

'Cause you're stupid! Stupid!

Stupid! Just shut the hell up!

Who the hell you calling stupid, Ma?

Huh? You need to fall back.

And remember who's the jockey and who's the racehorse

in this relationship.

Who's... who's the horse?

(cameras clicking)

(retching)

(crowd gasps)

(coughing)

(groans)

(playing outside): * I hate how much

* I love you, boy

* I can't stand how much I need you *

* I need you *

(chuckles)

* I hate how much I love you, boy *

Thank you.

I'm not gonna mess up this time.

* And I hate that I love you so *

* Ooh *

* And you completely know

(playing louder): * The power that you have

* The only one that makes me laugh *

Life is messy.

* It's sad, and it's not fair

* How you take advantage of the fact *

* That I love you beyond a reason why *

* And it just ain't right

* And I hate how much

* I love you, girl...
