There's no mystery.

What are you--

You advocating for this guy

now or what?

No. For sure.

All right, good.

You want your bacon?

I gotta go.

I'm gonna head out.

Thank you

for breakfast.

Where are you going?

Right now?

Why are you leaving?

'Cause i gotta go.

Why?

What's the problem?

Today is a work day for me.

You realize that, right?

- No.

- No?

I came here from work.

I gotta go back to work.

Are you coming back?

- No.

- Why?

- Not today.

- Later tonight?

It's not gonna happen.

Tomorrow i'll call you

though, all right?

What?

Whatever. You and your

business day.

I'm not your wife,

d'andre.

You don't have to give me

your work speech.

Oh, it's apparent

that you're not my wife.

If i wanted my wife,

I'd be home with my wife.

All i've been doing for the last

hour is telling you

Why i gotta leave,

and you're constantly stopping

me from my agenda.

You have a problem

with me cooking?

This ain't got nothing to do

with you. I gotta go.

You ain't said

you ain't had long--

It don't matter.

If i say to you i gotta go

Then i have to go.

Why do i have to explain

that to you 100 times?

How is you callin'

and invitin' yourself over

to my house my fault?

All i'm simply doing

is explaining to you what's not

feeling right for me right now.

And you still haven't

done that. What does

not feel right to you?

Because you're doing more

talking than listening.

You got a problem

with breakfast?

You should be receiving

instead of broadcasting.

Oh, you're not worried

about it now, huh?

You don't wanna hear

what i've got to say now?

It don't have nothing to do

with what i do.

I'm on the phone

and i'm having

a business call

And you got the nerve

to talk while i'm talking.

How am i

supposed to know?

You speaking while

i'm speaking.

- I'm sorry about that.

- Making snide comments

while i'm on the phone.

I'm sorry about that.

I apologize.

- It won't happen again.

- Right right.

Therefore it should all

be good now, right?

That's it?

- You apologized so...

- That's all that i see

as the problem.

Something about being

real literal about this day.

It's just the overall

energy in this day has been

- Real real brand-New.

You got this--

- You are so extra.

Oh, i'm extra?

I'm extra?

You're the one that barely

came before you answered

the phone.

Business call?

You couldn't even halfway

take a piss

Without the daggone voicemail

indicator going off.

- Business call?

- That's bullshit right there.

- Oh, that's bullshit?

- Yeah, that's bullshit

right there.

What i say?

Not your whole speech?

You making it like

because it's a business call

- That made the difference.

- That did make the difference.

It makes more of a difference

if it's not a business call.

No it doesn't.

See? That's the problem

i have,

Because now you're moving

Into a whole 'nother

area of things.

- I don't know what you mean.

- You don't know what i mean?

That's straight up

disrespect.

And i apologized.

You rocking the boat.

You being dramatic.

I'm not rocking the boat.

I apologized. That was wrong.

You got this real

funky-ass energy going

on with you right now.

Why i almost had to wrestle

your funky ass ring

off your finger?

You wanna start with that

and we can work our way down?

Yeah, because you act

like because my ring is

not on my finger,

That somehow, i'm not

married, right?

You don't think

that i know you're married?

- I hope you don't

lose sight of it.

- How could i not?

Your wife reminds me

that you're married.

I really could give

a f*** about the ring.

It's tradition, okay?

When you come over here,

the ring goes off.

That's it.

That's all. But not today

for some special reason.

But I'm brand-new?

What's up with that?

That's not new energy?

Nigga, please.

Come on.

Wait, what part of the game

are you missing?

Are you delusional?

You don't get that every time

i come here

To oblige you,

i take my ring off?

- Oh, you're obliging me

when you come over?

- Yes, I'm obliging.

That's you.

That is your baggage

that you're removing.

Yeah, you do wanna ride

with this guilt trip now?

I'm not tripping.

That's what it is.

I am your fantasy, okay?

And i love that.

I make you happy

when you come over here,

You get away,

and that's what we want.

You called and invited

yourself over, i cooked,

Now you got beef.

What's up with all that?

You got a problem

with me trying to make

you happy today?

- That's what i thought.

- I can't do this, man.

- I can't do this.

- But you're doing it.

- You're continuing it.

- You started it.

- I started off

trying to tell you--

- You stood here

And started it

with the big dramatic pause

And the big "brand-new."

- But you're not with it.

- I'm gonna holla with you

about this later.

D'andre, you are not

gonna call me later.

Again,

I mean, i don't know

why i even speak to you.

What you mean, you don't know

why you speak to me?

- Because you don't

believe sh*t,

- What does that mean?

I'm telling you

what's going on with me,

and you ain't--

Because i know you're lying.

I know you enough to know

when you are lying.

And you're lying right now.

You're not gonna call me

back today.

Yes, i'm gonna answer

my f***ing phone.

I'd appreciate

if you keep your mouth

shut too.

Speaking.

Yeah.

Cool. Yeah.

Okay, all right.

I'm going.

All of a sudden the phone

is a problem.

The phone rings one time,

the phone rings 20 times,

it's a problem.

But you're tripping like

Something's changed.

All this arguing,

bitching and moaning--

I get that at home.

I don't need that here

with you.

I'm amazed at how

disrespectful you've become.

This sh*t is just--

It's amazing to me.

- You say you want one thing,

But i can't--

I can't imagine

you really do, man,

The way you've been

behaving this day.

But it's cool.

If that's what

you wanna do.

Are you talking to me?

I thought you were

still on the phone.

What did you say?

I was trying to be

respectful.

That's what i thought.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm sorry, i must

have the wrong number.

Who are you looking for?

- Excuse me?

- Did you call d'andre?

Yes, i did.

Who is this?

This is helena,

who is this?

- This is his wife.

- Oh, he just left.

Did you wanna leave

a message?

Who is this?

Helena.

What's your name again?

- B*tch, i know you know me

by my first name.

- Who? Who?

- Jade.

- Oh, that is such

a pretty name.

B*tch.

You are so far

out of line, right now.

I wasn't trying

to be out of line.

I apologize.

- You're obviously

looking for him.

- Apology not accepted

Because i know damn well

you know if i call my

husband's phone,

- I was not calling for you.

- I was trying to help out.

I didn't know.

Oh, thank you.

I'm really trying

to understand...

- I do what i can.

- ...why my husband was

with you today?

Maybe you should

ask him.

I'm asking you, b*tch.

You're the one who answered

the phone.
