Synopsis: Todd is at the pinnacle of his game; a great job, great friends and more women than he knows what to do with. He owns a lounge that frequents some of the finest women and talent mid-town Chicago has to offer. Unsatisfied with his level of romantic achievements, he goes on a quest to date three women at one time. He believes the laughable exhaustion of just keeping his story straight is his only penance to pay until he finds out that all three women share a common bond and the aftermath is more than he bargained for.

Yeah.

Nobody?

Well, dang, so all y'all

just renting your house,

or just section 8-ing

the property out?

Rent it out.

Got some Mexican family of 15

living in there,

trying to make ends meet.

Okay, okay.

Cut, cut, cut. Hold it.

That was horrible, all right?

Look, I don't know where

you got your jokes from,

but you need to take them back

where you got them from,

because that sucked.

Your grandmother told you

about the house.

Your grandmother should have

told you

to get you a new occupation,

because that was not good.

Now, if you could just

get up off my stage, please...

Well, you know what?

Your little bald head

is not good, okay?

Why don't you get

some Ovation hair therapy

and grow your hairline back in.

Please just exit.

Oh, I can't believe you.

All right, well,

you have a nice day.

I knew it.

Yup, yup, yup.

I knew it.

You knew what?

I knew you would come back

to your senses

and come running back to me.

Boy, please.

Do I look like

I'm running back to you?

Yeah, well,

then why are you here?

I just...

I just wanted to give you these.

I forgot you had these.

Yeah.

So I don't know if you realize,

but today is one week away

from our six-month anniversary.

Six months, huh?

Yup.

Well, you know, time flies

when you're having fun.

Okay, Todd, I don't want

to play games with you.

I really don't.

I love you.

You don't love me.

If you loved me

you would have married me.

But it's all good.

Hey, your loss

is someone else's gain.

You are so stubborn.

And so are you.

I mean, do you know

how many women

would pray to be

with a man like me?

Well, you know what they say.

Be careful what you ask for.

Oh, it's like that?

I guess so.

Well, hey,

you know, I got

stuff to do, so...

Todd.

Take care.

Ow, girl.

Oh, boy.

What the...? Where these

instruments come from?

Oh, this should be interesting.

Next.

What the heck?

Does he have on pink fur?

Hey, hey, hey.

How you doing, man?

Hello.

Okay, what's your name?

Dream Catcher.

Dream Catcher? Okay.

So...

So what you going

to do for us today?

I'm going to do a little jingle.

Okay. Go ahead.

You ready?

Band!

This song's about Leah Parker.

She broke my heart, you know.

Took all I had.

He's not wasting my...

I didn't know

what to say back then.

But now I do.

Dream Catcher.

She took my money

She took my clothes

She took my pride

She took my hose

She left me ugly

Left me broke

Now, I'm gonna kill you

Choke, choke, choke

I'm gonna kill you

Choke, choke, choke

Now, I'm gonna kill you

He is not moonwalking.

Choke, choke, choke

Now, I'm gonna kill you

Choke, choke, choke

Stop, please.

Just stop.

Dream Catcher, Dream Snatcher,

whatever, man.

Just please just spare me.

You know what you need

to do, man?

Just take that act and go on

back to Harvard with it.

So when do I go on?

Never.

Ever.

That means you like the song.

"Choke, Choke, Choke."

I'm gonna choke,

choke, choke you out of my club

if you don't get off my stage

right now.

Please.

Right.

Bring security out here.

Who...?

Security!

Who let him in here?

Wow, this is so nice.

Welcome.

Did you cook this yourself?

Of course.

There's a Cajun shrimp

fettuccine warming

while we eat our blue lump

crab cakes.

And to drink,

I've got a 1975 chardonnay.

Please, taste it to see

if it's to your liking.

That was pretty good.

I don't normally drink wine,

but when I do it's Moscato.

Do you have any sugar?

Uh, yes, yes.

Um, I do.

Give me one second.

There you go.

Thank you.

All right.

Now that's much better.

Almost like Moscato.

Oh, yeah.

Well, you know,

Moscato is really

a dessert wine.

Chardonnay is meant to be

a little dry.

Also, may I suggest that you

hold the glass by the stem,

so the oil from your fingertips

don't taint the wine.

And don't drink.

Let the wine

massage your taste buds.

Let it slide into your mouth.

You're right. It's like you can

feel the wine sinking in.

Exactly.

May I?

Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

It's delicious.

It's delectable.

It's like eating sin.

I like how you put that.

Mmm.

Mmm. I love this piece.

It's the old soul.

Do you dance?

I love to dance.

Oh, shall we?

All right.

We're not dancing to this,

are we?

Oh, well, did you have

something else in mind?

Can I plug in my iPod?

Sure, sure. Yeah.

This is my tape.

Whoo!

All right.

You can't handle me.

You can't handle me.

Yeah, well,

you're probably right.

Okay, all right.

That was fun.

That was great.

That was so invigorating.

Oh, I'm so glad you're not

one of those stiff shirts.

You know, the old fogey type.

Uh-huh.

Because I'm young.

I want to be free, you know?

Enjoy my youth.

No commitment.

No strings.

How does that feel?

Oh, it feels amazing.

My boyfriend loves my massages.

You have a boyfriend?

Several.

It's funny how life works.

Wait, how do you have

more than one boyfriend?

I asked myself long ago:

Kierra, how are you going

to heal the world

if you're only loving one man?

So now I spread my love

all over the world.

Spread your love all over

the world?

Yes. France.

Milan.

India.

India?

Well, that wasn't

till my parents cut me off.

Life is so funny.

I was born, and then I walk in

and I find my candy.

Candy?

You know, I think my mom

calls them sugar daddies.

That's what she said my dad was

before they got married.

Look, I think there's been

a misunderstanding.

I love that you're so wise.

So refined.

You just lay there.

I don't mind working

for what I get.

Kierra, you know,

I don't really...

I know every single thing

about the male anatomy.

Hey, it's looking nice

in here, man.

Yeah, we getting there.

One more day till we open.

So, where you hiding her?

Who?

The angel, man.

I didn't come all the way

down here to see you.

She is not here, man.

Thank God.

That doesn't sound like

happiness.

Man, she will not stop

calling me.

And I put new brakes on her car,

I paid her light bill,

I keep filling up her tank.

You tricking.

She can't be that fine.

Man, she is.

Man, she is.

But that's not the point, man.

She is wearing me out.

Well, take it out of her pay.

I can't. She's depending

on that money to pay her rent.

Look, I don't understand

what's going on here.

I just know she got to go.

No, man. I can't get rid of her,

because I'm her boss as well.

It's just not that simple.

Ooh, you got a lawsuit

happening.

You got a lawsuit happening.

You got to get out of this.

But that's on you.

I'll be here tomorrow,

and you'd better have my VIP.

I got your table, man.

You got a lawsuit happening.

There ain't a lawsuit.

It ain't tricking if you got it,

and obviously I got it.

Watch them getting out

of the curtain.

Right this way, baby.

Right this way.

Yes, I'm Jamal Hartford.

I have a VIP reservation.

I'm sorry.

I don't have you down.

No, that must be a mistake.

I'm a dear, personal friend

of the owner.

I understand.

I mean, most everyone here is.
