1
00:00:07,408 --> 00:00:10,578
Oh, great,
great, perfect.

2
00:00:10,644 --> 00:00:12,246
All right, and ease apart,

3
00:00:12,313 --> 00:00:13,947
still gazing
into each other's eyes.

4
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:17,585
Good, uh-huh, easing...
gazing...

5
00:00:17,651 --> 00:00:20,788
Oh, now that's
black love, yo.

6
00:00:21,889 --> 00:00:23,657
And we're done.

7
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:25,659
Excuse me.

8
00:00:25,726 --> 00:00:28,529
So, Dionne, how long before
you get the shots out?

9
00:00:28,596 --> 00:00:30,231
I've got two magazines
and six Web sites

10
00:00:30,298 --> 00:00:31,365
running them this week.

11
00:00:31,432 --> 00:00:33,167
Trust me,
once these are out,

12
00:00:33,234 --> 00:00:34,435
instead of people
buzzing about the photo

13
00:00:34,502 --> 00:00:36,304
of first-round
draft pick Trey Wiggs

14
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:37,638
and his new girl, Melanie,

15
00:00:37,705 --> 00:00:38,739
they will be buzzing about

16
00:00:38,806 --> 00:00:41,575
the up-and-coming receiver
Derwin Davis stealing her away.

17
00:00:41,642 --> 00:00:44,312
Of course, there may be
some chatter about Melanie

18
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:46,214
just being a
pro-baller hoochie,

19
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,484
but, um, I'll try to keep
the focus on Derwin.

20
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:51,619
Thanks, Dionne.

21
00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:55,356
Yeah, thanks.

22
00:00:55,423 --> 00:00:57,991
You know, you should appreciate
Dionne trying to fix things.

23
00:00:58,058 --> 00:01:00,861
I do appreciate
her fixing things.

24
00:01:00,928 --> 00:01:03,063
Is it fixing things?

25
00:01:03,131 --> 00:01:05,132
I keep telling you, I'm fine.

26
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:07,235
But you keep saying
it with that mean face,

27
00:01:07,301 --> 00:01:09,403
which tells me you're not.

28
00:01:11,939 --> 00:01:15,243
Look, I'm sorry I
had lunch with Trey

29
00:01:15,309 --> 00:01:16,677
after you told me
not to see him again,

30
00:01:16,744 --> 00:01:20,181
but I had no idea it would
end up in the newspaper.

31
00:01:20,248 --> 00:01:23,351
Baby, what can I do
to make this better?

32
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:25,853
Nothing. I'm fine.
I got to get to practice.

33
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:27,388
Take care.

34
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:31,359
"Take care"?

35
00:01:31,425 --> 00:01:35,863
Maybe that's the new
"Bye, love you."

36
00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:37,731
(sighs)

37
00:01:48,409 --> 00:01:51,078
KELLY: What made you decide
to wear that top?

38
00:01:51,145 --> 00:01:54,047
It's cute on me. Why?

39
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:55,416
No reason.

40
00:01:55,483 --> 00:01:58,652
So, you two are all
fixed and repaired?

41
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:01,655
I don't know. According to
Derwin, there's nothing to fix.

42
00:02:01,722 --> 00:02:03,657
You guys are talking,
but not playful?

43
00:02:03,724 --> 00:02:04,592
Yeah.

44
00:02:04,658 --> 00:02:06,126
He's courteous,
but not warm?

45
00:02:06,194 --> 00:02:07,161
Uh-huh.

46
00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:08,795
You have sex,
but no intimacy?

47
00:02:08,862 --> 00:02:11,699
Bang, bang, done.

48
00:02:11,765 --> 00:02:13,667
It's the emotional
disconnect.

49
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:15,836
It's what boys do when
their feelings are hurt.

50
00:02:15,903 --> 00:02:18,005
God, I just wish he
would admit he was mad.

51
00:02:18,071 --> 00:02:20,674
You know, then we could talk
it out and start to heal.

52
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:23,444
Oh, sweetie, while you're at it,
why don't you just wish for...

53
00:02:23,511 --> 00:02:26,414
butterscotch clouds
and gumdrop rivers?

54
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,582
Will you two please?!
I came over here

55
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:31,852
to watch the game and
eat your nachos in peace.

56
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,423
Why didn't you just
go to the game?

57
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:38,091
I'm not allowed back
in San Antonio.

58
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:41,629
Sensitive-ass Native Americans.

59
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:45,866
Telling me it's too late to
double down; I'm-a double down.

60
00:02:45,933 --> 00:02:47,501
Tasha, please!

61
00:02:47,568 --> 00:02:48,902
Melanie's going
through something.

62
00:02:48,969 --> 00:02:52,005
No, she's not.
It's the age-old story.

63
00:02:52,072 --> 00:02:54,107
What? Girl makes boy mad.

64
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:55,376
Girl leaves boy alone.

65
00:02:55,443 --> 00:02:56,910
Boy gets over it.
The end.

66
00:02:56,977 --> 00:02:58,946
Unless, of course,
boy knocks up girl,

67
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:01,382
then girl raises boy's son
to be a star quarterback,

68
00:03:01,449 --> 00:03:03,751
then girl got to sit up
and listen to two heifers

69
00:03:03,817 --> 00:03:06,787
go on and on and distract girl
from watching the damn game!

70
00:03:06,854 --> 00:03:09,022
'Scuse me.

71
00:03:09,089 --> 00:03:13,794
Okay, you can go with the
angry black woman advice

72
00:03:13,861 --> 00:03:17,064
or the happily-married
white woman advice.

73
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:18,466
Which is?

74
00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:29,042
Is the angry black woman
advice still an option?

75
00:03:29,109 --> 00:03:32,346
Ta-da!

76
00:03:32,413 --> 00:03:35,449
I'm not gay...
but damn.

77
00:03:35,516 --> 00:03:37,651
Okay, I'll ask first.

78
00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:40,588
Why do you have a stripper pole
in your bedroom?

79
00:03:40,654 --> 00:03:43,891
I love sex.
Jason loves sex.

80
00:03:43,957 --> 00:03:45,959
But after seven
years of marriage,

81
00:03:46,026 --> 00:03:50,931
every once in awhile, you have
to pull out ol' Johnny Steel.

82
00:03:50,998 --> 00:03:54,167
If you want excitement,
why don't you just have sex

83
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:56,003
in public places,
like regular folk?

84
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:57,938
Is that what you
and Coach T. do?

85
00:03:58,005 --> 00:03:59,707
Mind your business.

86
00:03:59,773 --> 00:04:01,909
Come on, Mel,
give it a whirl.

87
00:04:01,975 --> 00:04:03,210
Y-Yeah. No.

88
00:04:03,277 --> 00:04:04,778
Look, don't be afraid of it.

89
00:04:04,845 --> 00:04:07,381
I took a class at the S-Factor,
and they say the pole

90
00:04:07,448 --> 00:04:08,849
is an extension
of your inner sexy.

91
00:04:08,916 --> 00:04:11,752
Okay, my inner sexy
is music, candles,

92
00:04:11,819 --> 00:04:13,421
and, on a rare
occasion, some kind

93
00:04:13,487 --> 00:04:14,755
of non-dairy
dessert topping.

94
00:04:15,823 --> 00:04:17,491
Derwin gets gassy.

95
00:04:17,558 --> 00:04:18,858
And anyway, he's not gonna

96
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:22,363
forgive and forget because I'm
flailing around on a pole.

97
00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:24,732
Trust me.

98
00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:27,200
Once you learn some of the basic
moves...

99
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:28,902
the Firefly...

100
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:32,906
...the Half-Pint...

101
00:04:36,444 --> 00:04:38,912
(grunts) ...the Shake What
Ya Mama Gave Ya...

102
00:04:40,247 --> 00:04:43,250
...it's really not hard
to look like a pro.

103
00:04:43,317 --> 00:04:44,685
Go ahead, try it.

104
00:04:47,555 --> 00:04:52,326
Lean back...
and pop your goodies.

105
00:04:52,393 --> 00:04:54,962
Toss the hair.

106
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:56,063
Now climb.

107
00:04:57,431 --> 00:05:00,734
And climb.
And climb.

108
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:03,404
Now drop and pose.

109
00:05:04,972 --> 00:05:06,239
(laughing)

110
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:08,542
That was kinda fun.

111
00:05:08,609 --> 00:05:10,277
Okay, move, Med School.

112
00:05:10,344 --> 00:05:13,013
I don't want to kick you
in the head.

113
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,716
(shouting)

114
00:05:15,783 --> 00:05:16,884
(laughing)

115
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:18,419
TV ANNOUNCER:
Oh, the ball popped out,

116
00:05:18,486 --> 00:05:21,922
and it's been recovered by #81,
Derwin Davis!

117
00:05:21,989 --> 00:05:23,857
Oh, my God, did they just say
Derwin's name?

118
00:05:23,924 --> 00:05:26,694
Davis is breaking down
the sideline. 30... 20...

119
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,828
ten...

120
00:05:27,895 --> 00:05:30,998
Call NASA,
'cause that's a touchdown!

121
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:32,299
(screaming)

122
00:05:32,366 --> 00:05:33,701
It's only
the beginning.

123
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:35,636
Davis saved what could have been
a botched play

124
00:05:35,703 --> 00:05:38,406
-and turned it into six points.
-I have to leave him a message.

125
00:05:38,472 --> 00:05:39,973
That's the first touchdown
for the rookie,

126
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,443
who's fresh out of the
University of Pennsylvania.

127
00:05:42,510 --> 00:05:44,745
That young man has got to be on
top of the world.

128
00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:47,648
Darwin, hey, I saw you.
Oh, my God!

129
00:05:47,715 --> 00:05:48,782
I can't believe this.

130
00:05:48,849 --> 00:05:50,250
I mean, of course
I can believe it.

131
00:05:50,317 --> 00:05:54,555
It was only a matter of time.
I'm so proud of you, baby!

132
00:05:54,622 --> 00:05:57,357
Call me as soon
as you can. I love you.

133
00:05:57,425 --> 00:05:59,126
-(sighs)
-Med School, this is great.

134
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:01,662
Derwin's gonna be way
too happy to stay mad.

135
00:06:01,729 --> 00:06:04,465
I know. I guess I won't be
needing a pole tonight.

136
00:06:04,532 --> 00:06:06,467
Oh, sweetie, nothing says

137
00:06:06,534 --> 00:06:08,569
"congratulations on your first
touchdown"

138
00:06:08,636 --> 00:06:10,270
like a Flying Half-pint
with a twist.

139
00:06:10,337 --> 00:06:14,341
Oh, don't worry.
I have a helmet.

140
00:06:14,408 --> 00:06:16,343
DERWIN:
Win, win, win, win, win!

141
00:06:16,410 --> 00:06:17,911
Go, Sabers!

142
00:06:17,978 --> 00:06:19,179
Go, Derwin!

143
00:06:19,246 --> 00:06:21,649
* Sabers hold 'em high,
stab 'em in their eye *

144
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:24,585
* Tell their wives how they died
for San Diego pride *

145
00:06:24,652 --> 00:06:26,353
Win, win, win, win, win!

146
00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:27,721
Go, Sabers!

147
00:06:27,788 --> 00:06:29,122
Go, Derwin!

148
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:33,393
Go, Sabers! Go...!

149
00:06:33,461 --> 00:06:34,928
-(Melanie gasps)
-Oh!

150
00:06:36,864 --> 00:06:38,832
JASON:
So...

151
00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:39,867
again...

152
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:42,903
congratulations on...
I got... I see...

153
00:06:42,970 --> 00:06:45,172
Okay, yeah.

154
00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:52,012
(chuckling sheepishly):
Come on.

155
00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:03,023
Melanie...

156
00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:05,526
what were you thinking?

157
00:07:05,593 --> 00:07:08,662
I was thinking
of surprising my boyfriend.

158
00:07:08,729 --> 00:07:10,731
Derwin, your plane landed
hours ago.

159
00:07:10,798 --> 00:07:12,733
I left you, like, ten messages.

160
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,969
I was drinking with my boys.

161
00:07:16,036 --> 00:07:17,605
You never used to drink.

162
00:07:17,671 --> 00:07:19,607
And you never used to strip.

163
00:07:19,673 --> 00:07:21,475
I thought it would be sexy.

164
00:07:21,542 --> 00:07:24,311
Or at least make you laugh.

165
00:07:24,377 --> 00:07:28,982
Derwin, I haven't seen you smile
since the thing with Trey.

166
00:07:29,049 --> 00:07:31,451
Embarrassing me a
second time, Mel,

167
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:33,020
isn't going to
get me to smile.

168
00:07:33,086 --> 00:07:36,624
Oh, well, at least you admit
you're still mad.

169
00:07:36,690 --> 00:07:39,560
Oh, yeah, that is what's
up-- I am still mad.

170
00:07:39,627 --> 00:07:42,195
So, you get drunk
and shut me out?

171
00:07:42,262 --> 00:07:45,766
Derwin, you had to know not
calling was going to hurt me.

172
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:48,669
That was just cruel.

173
00:07:50,538 --> 00:07:52,005
Well...

174
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,543
I didn't call

175
00:07:55,609 --> 00:07:59,479
because just like you,
I can do what I want.

176
00:07:59,547 --> 00:08:01,081
God, Derwin,

177
00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:03,717
if I could undo everything,
I would.

178
00:08:03,784 --> 00:08:05,986
I've tried apologizing.

179
00:08:06,053 --> 00:08:07,755
I've tried making it up to you.

180
00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:09,523
I don't know what else
to do here.

181
00:08:09,590 --> 00:08:11,992
So, are you gonna
keep punishing me?

182
00:08:12,059 --> 00:08:15,996
Derwin!

183
00:08:16,063 --> 00:08:18,532
Maybe...

184
00:08:18,599 --> 00:08:20,133
Do you want me?

185
00:08:22,736 --> 00:08:25,606
Should I move out?
Huh?

186
00:08:25,673 --> 00:08:28,876
Do what you gotta do, Mel.

187
00:08:39,019 --> 00:08:41,655
Pretty interesting
Sunbeam meeting.

188
00:08:41,722 --> 00:08:43,823
Yep. I can't believe
I finally got Marion

189
00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:47,027
to admit to getting
collagen in her lips.

190
00:08:47,094 --> 00:08:50,197
Quarter-black, my ass.

191
00:08:50,263 --> 00:08:52,700
(clinking)

192
00:08:52,766 --> 00:08:56,036
I was referring to
Melanie not showing up.

193
00:08:56,103 --> 00:08:57,971
I can't believe she's dead.

194
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:00,674
What? That child is not dead.

195
00:09:00,741 --> 00:09:03,410
She wasn't here 'cause she got
a lot going on right now.

196
00:09:03,476 --> 00:09:05,779
Oh, come on, we both know
once she moves out,

197
00:09:05,846 --> 00:09:08,281
she and Derwin will
officially break up.

198
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:11,619
And then she's officially
not a Sunbeam.

199
00:09:11,685 --> 00:09:14,187
She dead, huh?

200
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:17,691
I miss her already.

201
00:09:17,758 --> 00:09:20,260
(voice breaking):
Emotional walls, girl.

202
00:09:20,327 --> 00:09:23,897
Emotional walls.

203
00:09:23,964 --> 00:09:27,701
I feel like I hung her out on
that pole and left her to dry.

204
00:09:27,768 --> 00:09:29,536
Yeah, every time
her name comes up,

205
00:09:29,603 --> 00:09:32,472
Malik just grins
like a damn Cheshire cat.

206
00:09:32,539 --> 00:09:34,374
(clattering)

207
00:09:34,441 --> 00:09:37,845
Sloppy, ladies, sloppy.

208
00:09:39,813 --> 00:09:43,450
Tasha, I don't want
to see them break up.

209
00:09:43,516 --> 00:09:47,254
And I don't want to
lose her as a friend.

210
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,757
(sighs)

211
00:09:49,823 --> 00:09:52,292
Oh, hell.
I see you thinking.

212
00:09:56,764 --> 00:09:58,699
Are you hot?

213
00:09:58,766 --> 00:10:00,934
Are you turned on?

214
00:10:01,001 --> 00:10:03,804
Jason, I'm worried about Melanie
and Derwin.

215
00:10:03,871 --> 00:10:05,639
I need you
to make him come around

216
00:10:05,706 --> 00:10:07,474
and see what he's losing
if they break up.

217
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:10,644
Kel, I'm not about getting into
other people's relationships.

218
00:10:10,711 --> 00:10:12,545
I... am all about the sexy.

219
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:16,684
(grunting rhythmically)

220
00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:19,119
Jason?

221
00:10:19,186 --> 00:10:20,120
Please?

222
00:10:20,187 --> 00:10:23,023
If I say no, am I still
gonna get some tonight?

223
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:25,025
If you say yes,
you'll get more.

224
00:10:25,092 --> 00:10:27,094
Ooh... okay.

225
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,996
'Cause you know I like you more.

226
00:10:31,899 --> 00:10:34,534
Now shake your moneymaker.

227
00:10:34,601 --> 00:10:36,403
Oh, got it!

228
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:39,206
(grunting rhythmically)

229
00:10:39,272 --> 00:10:40,808
(squeals)

230
00:10:40,874 --> 00:10:45,045
(rhythmic grunting)

231
00:10:47,614 --> 00:10:49,649
(Kelly screams)

232
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:52,986
Basketball-- sissies.

233
00:10:54,755 --> 00:10:57,324
Hey, Malik,
do your mama a favor.

234
00:10:57,390 --> 00:10:58,959
What up?

235
00:10:59,026 --> 00:11:01,328
I need you to have a serious
talk with Derwin.

236
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:02,262
About what?

237
00:11:02,329 --> 00:11:03,430
About him and Melanie.

238
00:11:08,769 --> 00:11:09,703
(gasps)

239
00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:11,739
Oh, my God!

240
00:11:11,805 --> 00:11:13,774
Mom, what are you
doing here?!

241
00:11:13,841 --> 00:11:15,642
Reading last month's O.

242
00:11:15,709 --> 00:11:18,278
Finally, cargo pants are out.

243
00:11:18,345 --> 00:11:20,047
Mom...

244
00:11:20,113 --> 00:11:22,549
Melanie, I was worried
after you called me last night,

245
00:11:22,615 --> 00:11:24,952
so I thought I'd come out
and help you move.

246
00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:27,254
And when I told your apartment
manager who I was

247
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,589
and how abusive your friend
has been to you,

248
00:11:29,656 --> 00:11:32,092
we decided I should wait
for you in here.

249
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:36,163
Now, where's my hug?

250
00:11:37,798 --> 00:11:39,566
Aw... Mm.

251
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:41,234
His name is Derwin.

252
00:11:41,301 --> 00:11:43,470
Oh, you'll forget
all about that.

253
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:44,537
Grab some things.

254
00:11:44,604 --> 00:11:48,608
I got us a nice comfy suite
at the Four Seasons.

255
00:11:48,675 --> 00:11:50,143
We don't want puffy eyes

256
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:52,245
when we get on that
plane tomorrow.

257
00:11:52,312 --> 00:11:53,814
Get on a plane?

258
00:11:53,881 --> 00:11:54,982
Calm down.

259
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:57,550
You act like I said
we're flying coach.

260
00:11:57,617 --> 00:11:58,651
Okay, Mom, I know last night,

261
00:11:58,718 --> 00:11:59,686
I said I wanted
to move,

262
00:11:59,753 --> 00:12:01,521
but I need some time
to think.

263
00:12:01,588 --> 00:12:04,758
And you rushing out here isn't
making things any clearer.

264
00:12:04,825 --> 00:12:06,326
Mel, you haven't been
thinking clearly

265
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:08,261
since you met your friend.

266
00:12:08,328 --> 00:12:09,696
Giving up Johns Hopkins

267
00:12:09,763 --> 00:12:12,132
to chase this boy
to San Diego?

268
00:12:12,199 --> 00:12:14,601
San Diego!

269
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:17,004
You are so judgmental.

270
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:18,772
This is why we
don't talk, Mom.

271
00:12:18,839 --> 00:12:20,573
It's not about Derwin.

272
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,742
It's about me being happy.

273
00:12:22,810 --> 00:12:24,912
And you have to
just accept that.

274
00:12:24,978 --> 00:12:27,514
And be understanding
and let you live your life,

275
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:28,581
mistakes and all?

276
00:12:28,648 --> 00:12:30,984
Yes, that's it.

277
00:12:31,051 --> 00:12:32,886
Melanie, I know you.

278
00:12:32,953 --> 00:12:35,055
If you could have figured
this problem out yourself,

279
00:12:35,122 --> 00:12:37,124
you wouldn't have called me,
but you did.

280
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:39,726
And I'm not leaving you
to this degrading life

281
00:12:39,793 --> 00:12:41,728
as an athlete's girlfriend.

282
00:12:41,795 --> 00:12:44,164
It's not a degrading life.

283
00:12:44,231 --> 00:12:48,802
There's a stripper pole
in your living room.

284
00:12:48,869 --> 00:12:50,270
And why are you
defending him?

285
00:12:50,337 --> 00:12:52,472
He has made it clear
he doesn't want you here.

286
00:12:52,539 --> 00:12:55,542
Mom, he never said
those exact words.

287
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:57,710
He never said "Stay" either.

288
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:00,347
Look, you need time
to think

289
00:13:00,413 --> 00:13:01,648
and you can't do that

290
00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:03,116
as long as you're
dependent on him.

291
00:13:03,183 --> 00:13:05,052
If you won't come home,

292
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:07,921
how about you let me
set you up in an apartment?

293
00:13:07,988 --> 00:13:10,891
-What's the catch?
-No catch.

294
00:13:10,958 --> 00:13:13,793
Except to call me more often,
come home for Christmas

295
00:13:13,861 --> 00:13:15,462
and let me pick
your next boyfriend.

296
00:13:16,997 --> 00:13:19,799
Okay, you don't have
to come home for Christmas.

297
00:13:21,301 --> 00:13:23,403
Thanks for being here, Mom.

298
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:25,338
Aw, mm...

299
00:13:25,405 --> 00:13:26,406
I love you.

300
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:30,543
There you go, tiger.

301
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:34,614
-Oh...
-Boy, where the hell you been?

302
00:13:34,681 --> 00:13:35,748
It's Tuesday.

303
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:38,551
Had to pick up your bling
from the jewelers.

304
00:13:38,618 --> 00:13:39,887
Oh, right.

305
00:13:39,953 --> 00:13:41,388
Good job, boy.

306
00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:44,757
You know why we
asked you here?

307
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,927
Further celebration
of the rookie's first TD?

308
00:13:46,994 --> 00:13:48,161
(both snickering)

309
00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:49,863
Uh, we were impressed that day.

310
00:13:49,930 --> 00:13:52,099
The excitement about you,
much like J-Lo,

311
00:13:52,165 --> 00:13:53,967
has long since worn off.

312
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:57,037
This is about
your girl Melanie.

313
00:13:58,906 --> 00:14:01,341
So you guys
know everything, huh?

314
00:14:01,408 --> 00:14:04,677
Yes, and we would
rather know nothing.

315
00:14:04,744 --> 00:14:07,280
Why are you still tripping
about the Trey Wiggs thing?

316
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:08,381
Huh? What?!
(sputters)

317
00:14:08,448 --> 00:14:11,018
Trippin'?
Come on, man, I'm cool.

318
00:14:11,084 --> 00:14:14,021
Oh, so you cool?

319
00:14:14,087 --> 00:14:15,688
Then why in the hell
are we in here

320
00:14:15,755 --> 00:14:17,524
having this feminine
moment with you?

321
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:19,426
Man, pay for all this.
We up out of here.

322
00:14:19,492 --> 00:14:21,561
No, no, no.
He's not over it.

323
00:14:23,830 --> 00:14:24,965
Okay, I'm not over it,

324
00:14:25,032 --> 00:14:28,668
but I want to be.

325
00:14:28,735 --> 00:14:31,238
Hell, it doesn't even matter,
man, 'cause Melanie's leaving.

326
00:14:31,304 --> 00:14:32,572
What are you
talking about?

327
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:34,441
Man, I had us out of here.

328
00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:37,577
This whole week, my heart's been
telling me to let it go

329
00:14:37,644 --> 00:14:39,879
while my head kept yelling
for me to hurt her

330
00:14:39,947 --> 00:14:41,281
as much as she hurt me.

331
00:14:41,348 --> 00:14:43,450
Did he just mention his heart?

332
00:14:45,052 --> 00:14:46,653
I crossed a line, J.

333
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:49,489
I basically gave Melanie
the green light to move out.

334
00:14:49,556 --> 00:14:50,757
Did she pack her things?

335
00:14:50,823 --> 00:14:52,625
-No.
-Did she forward her mail?

336
00:14:52,692 --> 00:14:54,161
I don't think so.

337
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:56,229
Did she at least
burn up your clothes

338
00:14:56,296 --> 00:14:58,298
with "Not Gon' Cry"
playing in the background?

339
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:00,300
No.

340
00:15:00,367 --> 00:15:01,668
Then she's not going
anywhere, man.

341
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:03,536
You don't know Melanie!

342
00:15:03,603 --> 00:15:05,672
You give her the green light
and she just goes

343
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:07,040
and does not look back.

344
00:15:07,107 --> 00:15:09,309
You guys play
for the Sabers?

345
00:15:09,376 --> 00:15:12,579
Malik Wright,
Jason Pitts.

346
00:15:12,645 --> 00:15:14,314
Um, ladies, we in the middle
of something...

347
00:15:14,381 --> 00:15:15,815
Ladies, ladies, ladies,
our friend here

348
00:15:15,882 --> 00:15:16,849
is heartbroken
over his girlfriend.

349
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:19,152
Now, I'm merely trying
to give the young lad

350
00:15:19,219 --> 00:15:20,720
-some fatherly advice.
-WOMEN: Aw...

351
00:15:20,787 --> 00:15:23,456
But just as soon as
I'm done with him,

352
00:15:23,523 --> 00:15:26,759
I'm gonna come over there
and visit your table, okay?

353
00:15:26,826 --> 00:15:28,161
Oh, you two got the same eyes.

354
00:15:28,228 --> 00:15:29,496
Y'all related?

355
00:15:29,562 --> 00:15:32,199
Best friends.

356
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:39,006
(high-pitched):
* Threesome. *

357
00:15:40,073 --> 00:15:42,142
Let's wrap this up.

358
00:15:42,209 --> 00:15:45,345
All right, look, women
live by a romantic code.

359
00:15:45,412 --> 00:15:47,347
They can't help it;
they're wired that way.

360
00:15:47,414 --> 00:15:48,681
No matter what is
said or done,

361
00:15:48,748 --> 00:15:51,084
they pretty much give you
a chance to win 'em back.

362
00:15:51,151 --> 00:15:53,086
Love Jones: dude chasing
after the train.

363
00:15:53,153 --> 00:15:56,356
Say Anything: the guy holding
the boom box over his head.

364
00:15:56,423 --> 00:15:58,458
-Uh, The Color Purple...
- Color Purple?!

365
00:15:58,525 --> 00:16:01,928
Yeah, Mister giving
Celie her sister back.

366
00:16:01,995 --> 00:16:03,696
Celie was a chick?

367
00:16:06,099 --> 00:16:10,137
Anyway, women die
for those moments.

368
00:16:10,203 --> 00:16:12,272
So you think
I still have a chance?

369
00:16:12,339 --> 00:16:13,573
It's not about chance.

370
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,574
You make it happen.

371
00:16:14,641 --> 00:16:16,309
Our women are our
foundation.

372
00:16:16,376 --> 00:16:17,810
They keep us from
getting swept away

373
00:16:17,877 --> 00:16:20,213
by all the nonsense that
comes along with the game.

374
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,015
That's right, rookie. Mm!

375
00:16:22,082 --> 00:16:24,417
You don't want none
of this nonsense.

376
00:16:26,286 --> 00:16:28,955
So, go ahead, rook,
go get your girl.

377
00:16:29,022 --> 00:16:30,490
-Thanks, J.
-Yeah, man.

378
00:16:30,557 --> 00:16:31,824
All right, Malik.

379
00:16:31,891 --> 00:16:33,526
Hey, hey! If my moms asks,

380
00:16:33,593 --> 00:16:35,595
tell her I said
some deep crap.

381
00:16:35,662 --> 00:16:37,997
Damn, J, now there's four
of them.

382
00:16:38,065 --> 00:16:39,866
You have to hang tight.
I need a wingman.

383
00:16:39,932 --> 00:16:41,734
Dude, you can't handle that?

384
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:43,070
You right.

385
00:16:43,136 --> 00:16:45,438
(high-pitched):
* Fivesome.*

386
00:16:50,143 --> 00:16:51,278
Melanie, I want...

387
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:54,614
* So many times
don't know what to say *

388
00:16:54,681 --> 00:16:55,882
* I never know *

389
00:16:55,948 --> 00:16:59,119
* Should've known better... *

390
00:17:02,021 --> 00:17:03,156
* Should've known better... *

391
00:17:03,223 --> 00:17:04,790
You called your mother?

392
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:07,359
That's right, and we'll be out
of your life in ten minutes,

393
00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:09,028
-15 tops.
-(music stops)

394
00:17:09,096 --> 00:17:10,029
I'm sorry, Mrs. Barnett.

395
00:17:10,097 --> 00:17:11,364
I wish we could
see each other

396
00:17:11,431 --> 00:17:12,898
under better
circumstances,

397
00:17:12,964 --> 00:17:14,967
but can you
excuse us, please?

398
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:17,637
Whatever you've got to say,
you can say in front of me.

399
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:21,973
Derwin, she already
knows what's going on.

400
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,542
Oh, great.

401
00:17:23,609 --> 00:17:24,577
No, not great.

402
00:17:24,644 --> 00:17:27,280
Mel, I know we still have stuff
to work out,

403
00:17:27,347 --> 00:17:29,249
but we can't do that
if you leave!

404
00:17:29,316 --> 00:17:30,950
Would you look at that?
Another football player

405
00:17:31,017 --> 00:17:34,254
stabbed his live-in
girlfriend.

406
00:17:34,321 --> 00:17:36,389
Mom, let him say
what he has to say.

407
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:40,327
Mel, I am past
this Trey Wiggs thing.

408
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:43,330
This is not about
Trey anymore.

409
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:46,333
Look, I know I've
told you repeatedly

410
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:48,868
how much I've given up
for your career,

411
00:17:48,935 --> 00:17:52,672
but when you made that
first touchdown, it hit me:

412
00:17:52,739 --> 00:17:54,674
That's what
everything was for;

413
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:56,709
to see you standing
there with

414
00:17:56,776 --> 00:17:58,811
the ball over your head,
cameras flashing

415
00:17:58,878 --> 00:18:02,749
and 50,000 people
cheering for you...

416
00:18:02,815 --> 00:18:04,951
all of them finally
seeing what I saw

417
00:18:05,017 --> 00:18:06,519
when I first met you.

418
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:10,857
-How great you are.
-(scoffs, then coughs)

419
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:14,261
And then... then you don't
share that moment with me?

420
00:18:14,327 --> 00:18:16,363
-Mel... -You blow
me off like some stranger

421
00:18:16,429 --> 00:18:18,865
handing you back a nickel
you dropped on a street.

422
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:22,034
Derwin, I'm owed more,
and I deserve better.

423
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:26,072
That's why
I'm moving out.

424
00:18:26,139 --> 00:18:29,242
Mel, I know I took it too far.

425
00:18:29,309 --> 00:18:31,644
I mean, this world
is crazy!

426
00:18:31,711 --> 00:18:33,746
These guys got me
carrying their jockstraps,

427
00:18:33,813 --> 00:18:36,683
picking up their bling,
then they're laughing about you

428
00:18:36,749 --> 00:18:37,984
in the paper with Trey.

429
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:39,652
I just snapped!

430
00:18:41,221 --> 00:18:43,223
I snapped and I was wrong.

431
00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:46,293
I got to keep my ego in check
and I know that now.

432
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,528
Sure you do,
now that you're sober.

433
00:18:48,595 --> 00:18:51,198
Oh, yeah,
I know about that, too.

434
00:18:52,199 --> 00:18:53,900
Mom, please,
let him finish.

435
00:18:59,105 --> 00:19:01,841
Uh, that was it.

436
00:19:01,908 --> 00:19:04,010
But I meant
every word of it.

437
00:19:04,076 --> 00:19:06,913
Baby, I love you
and I need you.

438
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:09,716
Melanie, let's go.

439
00:19:09,782 --> 00:19:10,850
I love you, too.

440
00:19:10,917 --> 00:19:14,020
Oh, God!

441
00:19:14,086 --> 00:19:16,989
But this cannot
happen again.

442
00:19:17,056 --> 00:19:18,825
Mel, I promise you
it won't.

443
00:19:18,891 --> 00:19:22,729
Today's promise is tomorrow's
restraining order.

444
00:19:26,966 --> 00:19:28,535
Bye, Mom.

445
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:35,608
I will be at the Four Seasons,
if you come to your senses.

446
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:47,620
I put 911 on her speed dial.

447
00:19:55,895 --> 00:19:59,899
You know, we don't see
your mom enough.

448
00:19:59,966 --> 00:20:01,801
I'm sorry about that.

449
00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:05,171
I'm sorry, too.

450
00:20:05,238 --> 00:20:07,474
Mel, don't you ever leave me.

451
00:20:08,408 --> 00:20:11,210
Don't you ever push me away.

452
00:20:11,278 --> 00:20:13,480
Come here.

453
00:20:16,849 --> 00:20:18,418
Mm...
