Boomerang Page #5

Have you ever been to New Orleans?

No. It seems like it's a sexy town.

Yeah, it's a real... it's a romantic town.

You know? It's the kind of place where

you just take somebody that you love,

and just sit back, relax,

throw on the jazz, and just chill.

You know?

That's something you can do when

Jacqueline gets to town, you know.

- Now, where'd that come from?

- I don't know.

Where did that come from?

Who said that?

I think you said it. It sounded like it

came out of your mouth, from nowhere.

I just, you know, I think you're cool.

I like you, and

I was just being concerned.

- All up in my business.

- I wasn't tryin' to pry, really.

- Do I look like the kinda girl to pry?

- Not five minutes ago,

but now you look like the one.

If you looked up "pry" in the dictionary,

there'd be your picture next to it, like...

Look who's cookin' now.

Marcus.

- What's the matter with you?

- Stop it.

- What?

- Stop.

OK, OK. Stop it, Marcus.

I think that we should go home.

Let's go home.

Well, that was pretty great, huh?

Yeah, pretty great.

Well, you enjoy that mint.

I hope it's refreshing, and chocolaty.

My key won't work.

Sh*t.

Hey, Marcus.

Why don't you come here for a second?

I'm not playin'. My key really

is not working. You know?

Please?

Yes.

Yes.

- She even has pretty feet.

- Oh, yeah? How's the coochie?

- Man, that is crass.

- May I help you?

No, we're OK, we're just browsin'.

- He's trippin'.

- Look, I'm a realist, right?

If the coochie's good,

everything else falls into place.

It's more than sex with this girl. I dig

her - her spirit, her mind, everything.

You know, she could be Mrs Graham.

You think I'm jokin'. She's that bad.

Marcus is in love.

Yo. Yo, I'm gettin' this, Marcus. Step off.

That jacket is $1800.

No refunds.

- What, you think I can't pay for it?

- Well, there is no layaway plan.

We're OK. We don't need any help.

We don't keep cash in the store.

- He's a sucker, man.

- Racial.

- You right, man. Don't even trip on it.

- No refund?

What's he think, you're gonna wear it,

stink it all up to be damned,

- and, like, give it back to him?

- We can't get over this...

There are certain people

with a natural fear of black people.

They're programmed. Watch. Now!

See how frightened he was, just from

a black man screaming "now"?

He thought it was the end of the world.

- What do you think?

- People are gonna love this.

I think that this is gonna

be great for her image.

- Well, look at this one.

- Angela. Wow.

- You like it? Really?

- Yes. I like it. I like it a lot.

Great. Thank you. Guess what?

Marcus thinks we ought to go

to the Caribbean to shoot this.

The Caribbean?

That's expensive.

- I know.

- But it's nice. No, it's a nice idea.

- You know Marcus and his big ideas.

- I do.

You know, speaking of Marcus...

I hear he's got a real reputation.

Bony T told you that, right?

Well, Angela,

I can confirm that Marcus's reputation

is extremely well-deserved.

You can confirm it?

Like, you and Marcus have...?

God, this man, he's wonderful.

I mean, he's kind of... he's magnificent.

And he just happens to have

the best ass I have ever seen.

- Hey, babe, you got a sec?

- Marcus, hi.

- Hi.

- Oh, God.

What did I walk in on?

What are y'all talkin' about?

- God, we're talking about work.

- Work.

No, no, no.

You're both blushing. What's up?

Art. Art.

No, there's a girlishness happening.

What's up? Talk to me.

- Some girliness. Girliness.

- Nothing.

- Why you leavin'?

- It's time to go.

- Gerard hit it, didn't he?

- No. Hit it?

- Gerard could not hit it if he had a bat.

- You want to keep it a secret, huh?

- But he hit it. It's Gerard, isn't it?

- I don't know.

I came here to tell you what

a wonderful time I had in New Orleans...

Marcus, hon, I don't think that

we should do this in the office.

- What?

- I really gotta stop.

Get on top of the desk

and get frisky and go crazy.

Listen.

- You're not gettin' serious, are you?

- What you talkin' about? What is that?

Well, you know.

Where you want this to...

to grow into a relationship where...

God, we're together all the time,

stuff like that.

- Are you?

- Excuse me.

I-I know that you're not tellin'

me that New Orleans was a fling.

No. No, no.

I had a great time in New Orleans. You

know I had a great time in New Orleans.

- So what's the problem?

- Well, I just think that...

New Orleans was New Orleans,

and we should leave it at that.

I'm not tryin' to

pressure you or anything.

- No. No. No, no, no.

- I'm not proposing or anything.

- Of course not.

- My tuxedo isn't ironed or nothin'.

- I believe in takin' things slow, too.

- That's what I'm talking about.

I was just wonderin' when we could

see each other again, that's all.

I don't know. I'm kinda busy right now.

I just found out that I'm gonna have to

be spending a lot of time outta town,

so, I'll get back to you, OK?

You'll get back to me?

I don't have my schedule, my

secretary's outta town, so I'll call you.

"Marcus, with regards to us

doing it again, I'll get back to you."

That's a new one on Marcus.

Just don't make me wait too long,

cos it's not like I gotta sit by the phone

and wait for somebody

to get back to me.

No. No, I realise that you of all people

will not be waiting alone,

so I will try and get back to you soon.

You gonna call?

Hello? Yes? Yes?

- Hello?

- Yes?

- Mr Graham?

- Yes.

Miss Broyer asked me to tell you

she is free the evening of the 12th.

The 12th is three weeks from now.

Sorry. That's her first opening.

Should I pencil you in?

Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Marcus.

Yo, brother, man.

Gold watches, gold chains.

Yo, you gotta show

some gold to get that girl.

I already have a watch.

But thank you. Gucci.

- Brother, that's a nice watch.

- Thank you.

Watch your back.

Can you tell me

what time the show starts?

- Course I am.

- I wanna know when the show starts.

Hold on for a second. What?

What time does the show start?

The show started a half an hour ago.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- You're very good at this job.

- I know this.

Some punk-ass n*gger.

Yeah, hi. What time did

Flight 97 from Toronto get in?

Three hours ago? OK, was there

a Jacqueline Broyer on the plane?

You can't give that information?

This is Flight Information, right?

Then why do you call it Flight...?

Forget it. Forget it. Thank you.

Can you see if there've been any

accidents between JFK and midtown?

Well, what the hell is 911 for?

Well, I wanna talk to a supervi...

- Hello.

- You finally decide to show up.

I had some meetings that ran over,

so I had to take a later flight.

And you can't pick up a telephone

and call somebody, right?

I would've called, but they didn't

have a phone on the plane.

I wasted $200 on tickets. Just wasted.

And it's all your fault, OK?

I'm sorry. Why don't I give you

the money for the tickets?

It has nothing to do with the money.

You're bein' inconsiderate.
