So, who told them that Kendrick used to hit me?

Say what?

You heard her.

What she said?

- JoAnn? - What?

You heard her.

No, I didn't.

She asked...

[AS JOANN] "JoAnn...

who said that Kendrick used to hit me?"

Oh.

That what she said?

What I said.

Oh.

Oh, time for me to go.

- Uh, unh-unh. - [NORMAL VOICE] JoAnn.

No.

Was it you, miss Ella?

Unhhh...

No.

You know I wouldn't do that.

Yeah, I figured.

Was it you, miss JoAnn?

No! You know I would never do that, either.

Well, somebody did.

Yeah!

And that same somebody just said, "yeah!"

Yeah. Oh, I feel faint.

You ain't feeling faint.

You know I was gonna faint, Ella, 'cause,

oh, I just can't stand a lie.

Never could.

Then it must be really hard

just living with yourself, huh?

What you mean?

That's why you about to faint.

Stop, stop.

- Just tell her. - Tell her? Tell her what?

That you told him Kendrick hits her.

Ohh, miss JoAnn.

- Uh... - Tell her!

Oh, Ella.

- You a snitch. - Did you?

Uh, it was an accident.

- An accident? - Okay, that's what it was.

- That's what it was. - An accident?

Yeah.

It just... I'm talking to him, and it just...

it just slipped out.

- It slipped out? - Yeah.

Well, I would appreciate it

if my business wouldn't slip out.

Okay, okay, I'm sorry.

- Yeah, sure. - Yeah, yeah.

But, now... now, wait, now.

No, I don't go around telling people your business.

Oh, I don't have any business.

Oh. [CHUCKLES]

You and the Deacon...

- Y'all didn't... - Ugh! Hush, hush, hush!

- Okay. - Lies and conjecture.

Which Deacon?!

You guess.

- All of them?! - Oh! Ew!

- [CHUCKLES] - No.

Well, you don't like me talking about you,

then please don't talk about me.

Okay.

Thank you.

Uh, uh, oh.

Oh. Uh...

I guess she told you.

Mm.

Yes, she did.

Who she think she is?

Oh, no, you want to jump back.

- Yeah, now she gone. - She gone.

Mm-hmm.

Listen, you just give me my key.

- I ain't got your key. - How many spare keys do you have?

How many spare keys?

Ella, you got that key.

I got that key, but I don't have that key.

- JoAnn? - What?

I want my key.

I don't have that key.

You know, I am sorry. I really am.

I know you not trying to change the subject.

Yeah, I am.

Well, tell Nyla that after you give me my key.

[TOILET FLUSHES]

JoAnn?

[PANTING]

Am I sweating, babe?

I just wiped it off, I promise you.

I prom... I just dipped it.

Do not... you hear me?

Don't you go in there.

And I'm... I'm forbidding you...

I forbid you to go in there.

You can go.

You don't go in there. [CHUCKLES]

In where? Huh?

Don't ask.

Just don't go in there.

I'm sorry.

Baby, what?

False alarm.

False alarm.

Ooh! What I miss?

Hmm.

Nothing, Curtis, nothing. Nothing at all.

- Oh, okay. - Yeah.

What happened with the boys?

Nothing, Curtis. Nothing happened.

Okay.

Oh, I guess...

Let me go out here and...

tell Terrance he can go home, I guess.

Okay.

Take your time, babe.

[DOOR CLOSES]

He's not there, babe.

Huh. Okay. Okay.

I guess he got tired of waiting.

Huh. I'm sure.

Yeah, you... you were in there a long time.

Hmm.

Ha! Tell me about it.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Huh! Grand central station.

Who is that?

I don't know, babe.

Well, go get the door, Curtis.

- [GROANS] Okay. - Thank you.

Come in!

Curtis, I could have done that.

I could have done that.

- Why didn't you? - You didn't do nothing.

Why you didn't do it?

'Cause, baby, I thought you were gonna walk...

Anybody can talk about it.

If you gonna do something, do it, jump on it.

- That's what you did? - Just do it.

That's what I did. I mean, he right there.

- Hey. - Why do you keep coming over here?

I'm sorry, miss Ella, but I really needed

to apologize to Nyla.

Oh, son, Nyla does not want to talk to you.

I know she doesn't, but I was wrong.

I know that.

Okay, what did you do?

- Curtis. - What?

He tried to defend her honor in the backyard.

I thought that was so noble.

I remember, once, this man tried to defend my honor.

Mmm.

JoAnn, you ain't got no honor.

Yes, I do.

Where is it, in your pinkie toe?

You know something, Curtis?

You sure know how to ruin a good fantasy.

And that's exactly what it is...

a phanto-sy.

Curtis, baby, please, can you talk to him?

Ta... I can't, babe.

Why?

'Cause every time I talk to him,

he bring up the money you owe him.

Curtis, well, we do owe it to him.

You the one put it in the bank.

Mm-hmm. I know. Right?

I could have paid the man.

Mm-hmm, I mean... whoo!

Put the money from a robbery in the darn bank

that they robbed.

Right?!

Okay, you know what?

Hello!

Curtis, talk to him. Talk to him, please.

- I was just about to... I just... - Well, get it...

Fine.

- Son... - Look, Mr. C.,

I just want to talk to Nyla.

But, look, I need to talk to you

exceedingly and abundantly first.

What is he saying?

Curtis, don't do this. Don't.

Curtis.

Don't quote that Bible. Do not do that.

Curtis!

The Bible says...

Curtis, please don't do this.

... that a man and a woman...

You're like a rib.

If you cook it too long-uh,

it'll fall off the bone-uh.

Belly?

The...

I can't.

I just can't. I just can't.

And now that you...

fallin' off the bone-uh...

Well, I know-uh one thing...

if that man puts his hands on her again-uh,

he's gonna fall of the bone-uh

and into an unmarked grave-uh,

wrapped in swaddling clothes.

He ain't got no anointing.

No power.

He is not called.

Wait a minute.

How did you know that?

Miss JoAnn told me.

What?! She what?!

- JoAnn? - It slipped out!

God, I wish you would slip out of my house!

I'm sorry! I really am!

You cannot say that.

She knows that.

Miss Ella, how many times did he hit her?

Um, I don't know that.

And we're not talking about that.

How do you ever know?

Okay. All right. Thank you.

- Wait. - Hold on, hold on,

- where are you going? - To handle this.

Oh, please, hey, Terrance.

No. He wants to put his hands on her,

yeah, I'ma handle this.

- Terrance! - Don't do nothing stupid, Terrance!

[DOOR OPENS]

- [DOOR CLOSES] - T... Curtis.

[SCOFFS] That boy got a little thug in him.

Yeah. And it's turning me on.

Hey.

Hey.

You all right?

No.

What's going on, man?

Get off me!

Sorry.

I've been looking for that dude.

Dude? What dude? Where he at? What dude?

That Kendrick dude.

Oh.

Really don't like him, do you?

He hit her.

That's what they say.

A lot?

I mean, they were in a bad relationship,

but things got better.

Why would somebody put up with that, huh?

I don't know. I feel violated. Please step back.

I'm...

I'm sorry.

Just makes me so mad.

- You know what I'm saying? - Yeah.

Hey, Tarik...

You do know she's not yours, right?

My name is Terrance.

Yeah, Terrance.

And I know that.

Okay, cool.

Whew. 'Cause, you know, my mama said

he's been getting counseling, and he's getting better.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

You sure about that?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Okay, good.

I didn't know if you heard me.

It just makes me so mad, man.

Ooh.

Whew. Um, think you might be mad

'cause you want her for yourself?

No. No, of course.

Stupid.

Her.

Look, I'm not about to sit by and let a man hit a woman.

Right. Right.

A woman...

That's not yours.

Any woman.

Any woman.

Hmm.

Just makes me so mad, man

Ooh.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

I-I know you're mad, but I-I just wanted to point out...

that she's not yours!

Ryan, I swear,

- if you say that one more time. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

And you need to calm down.

You're starting to perspire. You're sweating.

It's not good for your skin.

- Yeah, you right. - Yeah.

You right.

- Just stay calm. - You know what I did?

I went by dude's house and left a note on his door,

told him I'd be here.

- How did you know where he lived? - Shut up.

I'm shutting up.

Oh, I wish he would show his face up in here.

[CHUCKLES]

What would you do if he did?

Well, you don't even want to know.

I want to know, I want to know.

Think you just got your wish.

- [DOOR CLOSES] - What?

You left me a note?

Oh, snap!

Okay, look, I want a clean fight.

No hitting below the belt.

When I hit the bell, y'all come out swinging.

No, there ain't gonna be any swinging.

Oh.

There will be if you put your hands

- on her again. - Let's...

You know, man, when I got home,

I started thinking about you.

Pause. That's weird.

- No, not like that. - Okay.

I was thinking that you must really want her.

I think he wants her. I think he does.

And I know what happened with your little kiss.

- Hunh. - But you need to know something.

That girl... that woman carrying my child...

Mmm.

... and, see, she loves me.

So you can try as hard as you want to,

but she will never leave me for you.

Well, let me tell you something.

Well, no, 'cause y'all kind of look alike.

- Shut up. - Okay.

All I know is, that's a special lady.

- Mm. - And you better never

put your hands on her again.

Oh. [CHUCKLES] No, I will.

Oh, and I promise to you, it will be your last.

Oh, no, Terrance, see, this is... this is the thing.

I think that we have a miscommunication issue.

I'm not saying I'm gonna put my hands on her like that.

I'm saying I'm gonna put my hands all over her body.

Wow.

All over her body as we're making love.

[CHUCKLES]

Damn! Low blow. Two points.

And, see, she loves it, man. She loves it.

There's this thing we do with the rocking chair.

You need to get out of here.

Oh, wait, no, no, no, you invited me over.

No.

You better listen to what the hell I said

- and get out of here. - I hear you, I hear you.

I hear you just like you gonna hear her

screaming my name when we making love.

You got three seconds

- to get up out of here before I break... - Look at him, Ryan,

- look at him. Look at him. - I can't see nothing.

- Look at him, Ryan. - Yes, I'm looking.

What am I looking at?

Look at how red he's getting.

Well, he always red like that.

Shut up, shut up, shut up.

Just gonna sip my drink.

You know, man, good luck trying to get my woman.

Matter of fact, I'm on my way to pick her up right now.

See, we're gonna go out, have a good time,

'cause she misses me.

So keep your little notes as to where you are to yourself.

I'll be with her.

Heard it was slow money around here, too.

You can take that.

Hmm!

[DOOR OPENS]

You want to split it?

Probably get some boxing lessons or something.

Why you looking at me like that? He left.

I really thought you was gonna do something, man.

- You took that like a straight sucker. - Ryan!

No, man, you had a lot of fire in your eyes before.

When he came, that went away.

Ryan, I don't want to talk about this.

Oh, we... you...

you shouldn't have been doing no talking.

I thought it was going down, man.

You just kind of wimped out.

- Ryan! - I'm sorry.

Stop it!

You scaring me.

Kill him!

Kill him!

Help me.

Please kill him!

No, no, no.

I can't help him, 'cause he's putting me out of my misery.

Please don't listen to him.

Go, do what you're gonna do, brah.

Hey, go get your costume.

Get out on the corner.

Why does it sound like you're my pimp when you say that?

Because I am.

I was gonna go get the costume.

Oh, you go do it.

- Fine. - And go get that money.

Hey, Terrance.

- Hey. - Did you calm down yet?

Well, you it's hard to calm down

when you're mad, don't you think?

You know, that...

actually makes sense...

I think.

I just want to apologize to her.

Look, man, I think you need to just leave it alone for now.

She's really going out with him?

Well, they are dating, yes.

But he's no good for her.

That's kind of her decision.

I'm a better man than him.

[SIGHS]

Man, you really like her.

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

All you did was kiss?

I mean, I'm just saying, you don't really know her.

Well, I've been watching her for a while.

You know that sound kind of creepy, right?

Not like that, Mr. C.

Then explain yourself, Jack!

All right, I've been watching her at work...

you know, how she is with the kids and everything.

Still creepy.

Mr. C., I'm not crazy.

Then why you stalking her?!

I'm not stalking her, all right?

It's not like that.

I just was at the church, fixing a boiler one day,

and, well, I saw her.

She was so kind...

beautiful, and...

[CHUCKLES]

And you were just looking at her?

Was you back in the corner like this?

You was watching her like this?

Is that what you were doing?

Don't make this weird.

No, my friend, I think you made it weird

when you was peeking from behind the broiler...

with binoculars.

See, this is why I can't talk to you.

Look, Terrance...

If you want to talk to the woman, man,

just talk to her.

She won't talk to me at all now.

Well, just let everything calm down.

You let everything calm down,

you gonna be around the house.

You can talk to her then.

She's mad at me.

She may be a little embarrassed...

'cause you found out about her past.

But you have to understand, man, she is with him.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, if you respect that, she'll respect you.

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

Hnh.

You heard me?

I know, 'cause my last "hnh"...

Hnh...

- Mr. C.? - Huh?

You're married.

And?

I ain't talking about her.

Wait a minute.

Are you cheating on miss Ella?

Say something. I dare you.

Man, I'm just kidding. Come on.

- Okay. - Ella would kill me.

Oh.

I mean, this is... this is a lot of man...

to be spread around.

You can't spread it all around like that.

It looks like you got plenty to spread.

Hey, man, I'm just telling it like it is, okay?

This is a lot of sexiness for one woman.

And she can barely take it.

You heard me?

Well, thank you for that lovely image.

[SIGHS]

Don't worry about it. I'm just saying.

It's a gift.

I mean...

[LAUGHS]

All right, Mr. C., this is what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna go by to apologize to her when I can,

and hopefully, she'll know that I want her.

It's like that, player?

Oh, it's like that.

Let the games begin.

That's what I'm talking about.

Laissez ? la brute.

What?

That's New Orleans.

You don't know nothing about that.

Okay.
