Don't forget I have the court order

for you to stay away.

- I'm gonna call your probation officer.

- Court order?

I don't give a damn

about no court order.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Nice to see you again.

- Nice to see you, too.

- Wow. Nice place.

- Thank you.

- Where's Kirby? Kirby. Kirby.

- He's at the groomer's.

He got caught under a truck

and got grease on his coat. He's OK.

- You look great.

- Thank you.

Gold star for Marcus.

Dinner was yummy.

I never met a man who cooked so well.

How'd you learn how to cook like that?

Well, you kinda pick those things up,

you know, when you're...

when you're alone as much as I am.

Really?

Yeah. See...

Marcus.

Marcus, you know you wrong.

You no-good... Marcus.

Let's go in the living room. We'll be

much more comfortable in there.

- OK.

- Come on.

Girlfriend.

Girlfriend.

Girlfriend.

Knock, knock.

- Who's there?

- A scared little boy named Marcus.

And he's just dying to come out.

He's been hurt, too, hasn't he?

Tell me about him.

Tell me all about Marcus.

Well, I haven't been out with anybody

in about two years.

Not since Debra -

that's the girl I almost married.

Day of my wedding, I went to the

church early, cos I had a bad feeling,

and I go in the back,

and that's when I saw it.

She was on the ground

with the best man.

And the priest.

Freakin'.

You poor baby.

Yeah, that's when I realised

that you can't trust anybody.

You can trust me.

I'm not ready for this.

I think I should take you home.

I think it's best.

I can't tell you how helpful this

has been. Gold star for Christie.

Thanks. You really

helped me in here. I felt that.

- You don't have to thank me. Come on.

- No, no, I shouldn't come in.

- Come on.

- Christie, don't. I shouldn't be in here.

I'm not ready for this.

Are we by ourselves?

- Of course we're by ourselves.

- Christie.

- Marcus, spend the night with me.

- Christie, no, it's just too soon. I c...

I just don't wanna be hurt again.

I won't hurt you.

Please be gentle.

- So what happened with this girl?

- Man, she was beautiful.

She was beautiful,

but her feet were jacked up.

- Were they?

- Yeah. I pulled the covers back...

- Yeah?

- ..it was Hammer time.

I should've known. I seen

her shoes had little bumps on the top,

but I thought it was an old shoe.

You'd never think a woman that fine

would have Hammer time in her shoe.

Come on, man, you don't f*** her feet.

I hope I'm not outta line, but don't you

think you were just a little bit too picky?

- Yeah.

- What happened with Tracy?

You met that girl.

She's not very smart.

- Come on, you don't f*** her brains.

- I'm looking for perfection.

- Hi, Marcus.

- Hey.

- Yo, Marcus.

- What's up?

Hey, you on your way to meet Lady

Eloise to discuss that merger, right?

- How do you know everything?

- I read it in your office.

You not supposed to be in my office,

or goin' through my mail, OK?

No, man, I wasn't goin' through your

stuff, man. Here. Hold it up. Hold it up.

- You're gonna read right through?

- Right through.

It says "..lunch tomorrow

at Houlihan's".

Open it up.

"How about lunch at Hou..."

v ery impressive.

Told you, man. Told you, man.

Check this out, man.

I been workin' here nine days.

I been on time, even when it rains. Don't

you think it's time we talked promotion?

Come on, man. I get my own office,

man, bring my ho's in here.

We have a little party,

set this motherf***er off, man.

Marcus Graham.

Lady Eloise? I can't tell you how

excited you got everybody up here.

You're like a breath of fresh air. I've

never seen everybody so excited. It's...

Lady Eloise? I think you requested

to see me. Marcus Graham.

I know.

- May I have a seat?

- Please.

Keep standing.

The rest of my administrative team

will be arriving tomorrow.

However, when I decided

to take over this company,

I considered you a prime asset.

Thank you very much.

We need strong department heads

to oversee this merger.

- Beet juice?

- No, thank you.

It keeps the skin tight,

and none of us are getting any younger.

Well, some women have a girlish

quality that lasts a lifetime.

I've always heard you were

very beguiling to women.

But my schedule is also very tight.

Meet me at my house tonight.

Todd, see to it that

he's at Lavender Hill.

- Good evening, Mr Graham.

- Good evening.

Lady Eloise has been

eagerly anticipating you.

Marcus Graham, Lady Eloise.

Marcus, darling.

Welcome to Lavender Hill.

Lady Eloise, I cannot begin to tell you

how happy I am to be working with you.

I grew up using your products - my

mother used your products, you know.

You were in my medicine

cabinet all my life,

and now I'm, like, working with you,

and it's just very exciting.

I find it very exciting as well.

I'm lookin' forward to a long,

strong, productive relationship.

You know, I don't wanna

blow my own horn...

but I'm really qualified.

You shouldn't have to

blow your own horn.

You should leave that

for someone else to do.

Marcus, darling.

Wouldn't you like to

get a little bit more...

comfortable?

Yeah, sure, why not?

Wouldn't you like to

get out of that tight shirt?

Yeah, I was just

thinking about doin' it myself.

You know, it's a little bright in here.

Wouldn't you like to dim it, make it

a little more romantic, you know?

Could you get it just a little darker?

Excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you,

but I just had to say somethin' to you.

You're breathtaking. You're the most

gorgeous woman I've ever laid eyes on.

I had to come over and meet you.

- I'm sorry.

- Why are you laughing?

I'm sorry, it's just that

what you said was pretty pathetic.

- That was not pathetic.

- Come on.

I mean, if I walked up to you and I said

"Excuse me, sir, I'm sorry to bother

you, but, well, I just had to meet you

because you are the most handsome,

the most virile man I have ever seen

in all of my entire life,"

now, would you believe me?

Honestly? Yeah, I would,

but that's just the way I am.

- I'm going to work.

- OK.

- OK.

- Well, I'm goin' this way, too.

It's not like I'm followin' you.

I'm goin' upstairs too.

I'm goin' to the 18th floor, too.

You're auditioning for one of

the commercials. Are you a model?

No. No, I'm not a model.

I'm gonna go work for the company.

- Really?

- Marketing, yeah.

Really? That's my department.

I'm Marcus Graham.

You're Marcus Graham?

You're Marcus Graham?

This is pretty funny

that we're meeting like this.

- I'm sorry, I'm Jacqueline Broyer.

- OK.

- I'm a huge fan of your work.

- Thank you very much.

You're very, very talented.

You was treatin' me like my name was

Stanley. But you're a fan of my work.

I'll let you in on a secret

cos you're a pretty girl.

When this merger goes through, I'm

gonna be in charge of all of marketing.

You are?

Marcus, I'm afraid that there's been

some kind of misunderstanding.

I'm sorry. You see,

I'm in charge of marketing.

No, that's impossible.

Sorry.

I'm the logical choice. I'm vice
