- See y'all later, all right?

- Later.

- Bye.

- You don't want me to help?

- I got it. Go on home.

OK.

Where's my coat?

Angela.

Yes?

I'm gonna have to

take you up on that offer.

- I thought so.

- Yes.

Chitterling juice everywhere,

and I don't know if I can handle it alone.

I'm so tired. I don't care if I never see

another cup or plate again in my life.

- My feet. Can I take my shoes off?

- Yeah, you can.

You'll have the whole house

smellin' like funky corn chips.

- Please, my feet do not stink.

- Star Trek's comin' on.

- I love Star Trek.

- Do you really?

- Yeah, I'm a Trekkie.

- Get outta here. I'm a Trekkie.

Ain't Captain Kirk the coolest

white man on the planet?

You can always tell who's gonna get

killed. Now, look who's beamin' down.

You see Kirk, McCoy, Spock,

and Yeoman Johnson.

Doesn't Yeoman Johnson know

he's gonna get killed?

If I was Yeoman Johnson, I'd say "I'm

not goin'. I know what's gonna happen".

It's amazing how you've just broken

down this whole Star Trek thing.

I'm a Trekkie, that's why. I broke it

down to the barest essence of the Trek.

I'm a Trekkie.

I know everything about Star Trek.

- What's Captain Kirk's first name?

- Captain.

No, it's not Captain.

His name is James T Kirk.

What's Mr Spock's last name?

You didn't even know that.

Name is Spock Jenkins.

One of the Jenkins boys from vulcan.

We'll talk about it later.

What are we doin'?

We're kissing.

We ain't supposed to be kissing.

- Why?

- Cos we're friends.

So?

Friends can kiss.

Do something

CRAZY:

It's good. It's very good.

- Congratulations, Marcus.

- Congratulate Angela.

It was mostly her idea.

Nice going, Angela.

Thanks.

Hey, you.

Yo, man. It's racial.

- Well, expand.

- All right, check it out.

The white ball dominates everything.

Knocks the sh*t out of the yellow ball,

the red ball, right? And the game's over

when the white ball drives

the black ball completely off the table.

Now why is that?

I don't know, but I'm sure

you'll tell me, my brother.

Sure you right. Look...

It's because of the white man's fear

of the sexual potency of black balls.

Now, that one was kinda interesting.

I see where you're goin'.

- The pool table is earth, so it's green.

- See, your sh*t is comin' out now.

And the world,

they used to think it was flat.

School him.

When you do Oprah,

I wanna be front row.

It's not about jokes.

Me and him are here.

That one was kinda deep. You went to

the bottom of the ocean on that one.

- Losers get the beer.

- I'm gonna get the beer...

- But see how our thing is here?

- We are on the same wavelength.

- We're the same cat.

- Get him, then.

- I'll get him. I'm gonna work on him.

- Fine.

Yo, man, he's gettin' worse.

We got to find him a woman, quick.

He's gonna be all right.

Hey, how are things

with you and Angela?

We're cool, man. You know.

We went out a couple times,

and she was gettin' so involved.

And I said "Look,

I'm just gonna pull back."

Cool.

Yeah. You know, I told her

"Look here, girl, do your thing."

"See other men, cos I'm gonna

see other women, you know."

I just didn't wanna break her heart

right off. You know, I just pull out easy.

Good. You don't mind if

she goes out with other guys?

Hell, no.

You thinkin' of

hookin' her up with Tyler?

- No, nothin' like that.

- Why you askin', man?

I was just curious.

I don't believe this sh*t.

Why you askin', man?

You can't even look me in my eye,

can you, Marcus?

Did you sleep with Angela?

Yeah, I did.

Why do you always have

to have all the girls, Marcus?

You said you didn't care

who she went out with.

Now you're flippin'.

You're bein' a hypocrite.

I don't wanna hear that bullshit, man.

This is different. Angela is a nice girl.

- So I can't be with a nice girl?

- No.

Cos all you gonna do is dog her out,

like you do every woman in your life.

OK, tell me this, man. Why Angela?

What, she has nice feet?

It has nothin' to do with her feet.

I care about this girl.

Man, you don't care about

nobody but yourself, man.

So, when we can rise as a people,

we runnin' things, you know?

- What'd you do, man?

- Guess.

Marcus. Come quick.

I got somethin' I wanna show you.

- What?

- I wanna show you something.

- Get outta here. I'm in the shower.

- Marcus.

Stop.

Come on, I'm soakin' wet. You

gonna make me catch a cold out here.

No, I won't. Look.

Well? What do you think?

- Blue people. Yeah, that's nice.

- What do you think?

- Do you like it?

- Yes, very much.

OK, OK, OK. Look at it and

tell me how it makes you feel.

- Honestly, it's makin' me kinda horny.

- No. Feel.

- I'd like to think I was the inspiration.

- No. Look.

- I think you should be blue.

- No. You'll get paint all over me.

- The phone's ringing.

- I'll get paint on you.

Take your clothes off.

Take 'em off. Off. Clothes...

No. Hello?

Jacqueline. Hi.

How you doin'?

He's right here, actually.

No. No, we weren't busy at all.

Here he is. OK.

Hey. Yeah.

No, that was Angela.

She just stopped by for a second.

Really? That's...

Your spot tested through the roof.

Yeah. Yeah, she's happy.

Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.

That's perfect. Great.

Yeah. Peace.

They're showin' the spot

to the board of directors on Friday,

and Jacqueline wants me to be there.

Great.

Wait. You don't have

a problem with that?

- No.

- I will call her and tell her that...

You sure?

Cool. That's bad.

Blue people.

Peace. Chill.

You are brilliant. God, Marcus,

they loved it. They loved it.

Did you hear him

screamin' "magnifique"

with a bead of sweat runnin' down his

face, man? I knew I had that cat.

Marcus, you are incredibly talented.

Well, I thank you.

Lady Eloise thanks you.

Tell her I said hey.

I'm sure Strang would like

to thank you personally.

Yeah, she'd like

to thank the hell outta me.

I have to say, it's very nice

to have the old Marcus back.

- I was kinda worried about you.

- Really?

You seemed...

You seemed so... I don't know.

- Can I be honest?

- Please.

Well, you seemed desperate,

and unsure of yourself.

- Pathetic?

- Kind of.

But look at you now. You're...

You're relaxed.

You're more confident.

Just like the man

I met in that elevator.

- I got it goin' on again?

- Yeah. I like it.

I find it very attractive.

How'd it go last night?

It went OK.

Just OK?

Must've gone pretty well. You didn't

get home until the middle of the night.

I went for a walk so I could sort

some things out that was in my head.

I was trippin' on it.

Like the fact that

you still love Jacqueline?

Angela, I saw the woman,

and a bunch of stuff in me

I didn't know was still there came out.

Things happened and... There's certain

things you just have no control over.

Really? Like what?

Like love.

Love?

You know,

what do you know about love?

What do you possibly think

you know about love?

I'm sick and tired of men using love

like it's a kind of disease you just catch.
