I can't stop thinking about you.

I don't think

that we should...

See, that's the problem.

We've been thinking too much

instead of enjoying the moment.

Enjoying the moment?

Yeah. You know I've realized

that I've been putting

way too much pressure on you,

and now I'm ready to, you know,

let it flow.

Todd, it wasn't the pressure.

It was the selfishness.

You're right.

You're right. I was selfish.

I was selfish.

Wait. No. Mm-mm, no.

Just let me... I got to go

to the bathroom.

I'm going to be

right back, okay?

Sure.

I'll be back.

Okay.

Got her now.

So...

You're ready to commit?

I am committed.

Okay. And you'll be satisfied

with just me?

Only me. Nobody else.

Absolutely.

Okay.

Then whose are these?

What... Those?

Yes, these.

Uh...

I don't know.

I have no idea.

They were in your bathroom.

Shanice, those are

probably yours.

You don't think I know

my own drawers?

Yes. No. I mean...

So now I'm just a fool.

That's what it is?

Yes. No.

I mean, what does it matter?

It matters because I want

someone who loves me, only me.

Not somebody who's going to go

pick up some stray

two weeks after I'm gone.

Okay, all right.

What about Robert?

Robert is just a friend,

and I am definitely

not having sex with him.

Hey, look, just because somebody

takes off they panties,

that don't mean that we had sex.

Now you really just think

I'm a fool.

That's what that is.

You're not a fool.

Todd, you're single.

You are free.

Why lie?

Own it.

All right, all right, look.

Okay, look, let me explain.

I can't.

I can't even believe

that I was still trying

to support you.

What do you mean?

You'll see tonight.

Wow. Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my God.

Linda?

I thought I told you

not to come by unless...

Oh, Todd. There's someone

I wanted you to meet.

Who's this?

That's my husband, Allen.

Your husband?

Yeah.

I thought it was about time

the two of you guys met.

Pleasure to meet you.

I've heard such delicious things

about you.

Oh, relax.

We're not staying.

Not now.

I just thought maybe it was best

that the two of you meet now.

You know,

before later on tonight.

I'm looking forward to spending

some more time with you tonight.

What you mean tonight?

Ooh, the possibilities

are endless.

Until tonight.

Oh. Thank you, baby.

Say, bro...

What in the freaky hell...?

Hey, boss. What can I get you?

Nothing. I'm good.

Where's Kierra?

She's around.

I see.

So, do you like what you see?

The club is packed.

The register is full.

We're even turning people

away at the door.

It's not a club.

It's a lounge.

What's up with the music?

Oh, yeah.

We decided to change it up

a little bit

to better fit our clientele.

Hey, everybody.

I just want to thank

all of my sisters

from the Chicago chapter

of Phi Sigma Beta

for coming out tonight.

I would to especially like

to thank Mrs. Linda Carter,

one of our premier members.

Thank you so much

for coming out.

And also one of our younger

sisters, Miss Kierra White.

Thanks, Kierra.

Oh, last but not least,

I want to thank

Mr. Todd Ryder.

For opening up

his establishment to us.

Thank you, Todd.

You invited Shanice's sorority

in here?

I did.

They paid $1,500

to use the place.

You let Shanice and Kierra

in the same spot?

I didn't know

they were sorority sisters.

I'm not paid to keep

your mess straight, all right?

I'm paid to bring in business.

O, you're killing me, man.

You are absolutely killing me.

How could you let...?

And who are the goons,

by the way?

They're with the gentleman

who's occupying the back room.

Occupy? Who?

One of our regulars.

We've been open

less than a month, man.

We ain't got no regulars.

He became a regular

when you made me manager.

Hold on. So you're trying

to tell me

I can't go into the back room

of my own club?

Lounge. Remember?

All I'm saying is the gentleman

paid good money, Todd.

How much?

Your cut is $500.

My cut?

Yeah.

I figure if I'm bringing in

all the business,

then I should get the bulk

of the extra money.

Say, bro, every dime that walks

through that door belongs to me.

I pay you to be a manager.

That's right.

To manage.

Not fill the place up

with customers.

This place was dead.

Remember that?

You would be bankrupt

by the end of next month

if it wasn't for me.

You know what, man?

We're here as planned.

This party is great.

Yeah, it's interesting.

I didn't know it was happening.

Surprise.

I just love to support

the men in my life.

And your husband too?

Of course.

Besides, I couldn't let Linda

have all the fun.

Congratulations

on all your success.

I guess she was right.

You do know how to handle

your business.

Okay, look, I don't know

what kind of crazy,

freaky stuff y'all into,

but I'm not interested, okay?

I wasn't raised that way.

Well, don't knock it

till you try it.

Hey, hey.

You's feisty like I like it.

Look, I'm serious.

Y'all should leave.

Okay?

Take that little Sodom and

Gomorrah damnation with you.

This looks cozy.

How do you know Linda.

We met a few weeks ago.

He's a fun one.

Fun?

Fun.

Excuse me...

Excuse me for a moment.

Take your time.

What is going on?

Hey, man, who is that?

That's a guest of the person

who's using the back room.

Okay, O, this is it, man.

It's over.

What?

It's over.

Tell Devo to get his boy

and bounce.

Can't do that.

Yes, you can.

Tell him now.

I won't do that.

Who are you talking to?

I'm talking to you.

You see, you got me twisted.

Look around, boss man.

This is my club now.

Your ass is just visiting.

Okay, let me tell you something.

You think because you 6'4"

with a bald head

and a pink shirt that I won't...

Hi, baby.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm on my break.

Doing what?

I'm off the clock, remember?

And whatever happens here

is completely separate

from what happens

outside of here.

There he is.

My man Viggo.

What's up, baby?

I like your little lounge

you got going here.

Hey, listen,

I want to thank you personally

for that little thing

you set up for me.

Mmm, that girl was all

you said she would be.

Hey, the pleasure's mine,

Mr. Styles.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Kierra, you know that's not

the last time, right?

I got plans for...

Hey, man.

Oh, do me a favor.

Why don't you get me a bottle

of your finest champagne

and pour my ladies

another round.

And make sure it's cold, boy.

All right?

I'll be damned.

Hold up, man.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, man. Move, man!

Hey!

Man, what in God's name

happened to you?

Oh, man, it was crazy.

Omar was pimping.

Kierra was ho'ing.

My club was turning into

the Bunny Ranch of Chicago.

I told you.

Save your "I told you so's."

I just got to figure out

what I'm going to do

about my business.

I hate to admit it,

but I was going under before

Omar started managing, you know?

I might be shut down.

Man, this is not about

your business.

This is about you.

You start making better

decisions about your life,
