Love should have brought

your ass home last night.

- Didn't you hear me say I was sorry?

- I heard you.

You're sorry and you're tired.

You don't love me or Jacqueline.

You only love your damn self.

How could you say

I never cared about you?

Jacqueline says that I'm a better person

now, and I owe that all to you.

I'm outta here.

I'll get the rest of my things later.

Let me just tell you one more thing.

I might not be all glamorous,

and I don't have hair down my back, but

let me tell you one great thing about me.

I've got a heart. You know the bad

thing about having a heart, Marcus?

It's that it gets broken

when you deal with people like you.

Now stay the f*** outta my life.

She left you, huh?

Yeah. She did.

I guess I should feel happy, but I don't.

I hate to see another person in pain.

Thank you very much. That's very nice

of you, Yvonne. Good night.

So, would you like to come over

for a cup of coffee?

Not even if Jesus was pourin' it.

Some motherfuckers can't see

a good thing when it's starin' at them.

Why don't you just leap your black ass

off the ledge, then? F*** you.

- I can't do this.

- I have condoms.

No, it's not that. I gotta go.

What?

I'm in love with somebody.

Angela, right?

So now you think

you're in love with Angela.

No. No, no.

I know - just at this moment,

I know I'm in love with that woman.

Marcus, if you are in love with Angela,

why are you here with me?

Exactly.

Oh, sh*t. Dammit.

Hold up.

- Yo, whassup?

- Whassup?

Come on in.

- Welcome to the penthouse.

- It's kinda smoky in here, chief.

No, no. Wait. That ain't smoke, all right?

That's aroma.

Yo, can you get that for me?

Think that might be a little surprise.

Whassup, man? Where you goin'?

Yo, man. Talk.

Whassup, man?

Hey, how you doin'?

So have you seen Angela lately?

No, I hear she's over

at Barton and Dobbs now.

Yeah, I heard she got

promoted to creative director.

Really? Where'd you hear that?

Bony T told me.

Look, man.

- You don't have to say anything.

- I do. I'm really sorry, Gerard.

I've known you all my life, man. You're

like my brother, you know, and I...

I love you and I...

I don't wanna go through this, man.

Listen, it happened,

and I'm sorry, and I feel bad.

How long you gonna have me beg?

You know what I'm tryin' to say.

You gonna

milk all the apologies outta me.

It's cool.

- All right, man.

- My man.

Yo, man! Whassup? Y'all gonna let a

girl come between us, man? What's up?

We supposed to be here, man.

We boys, man.

We don't hang out no more or nothin',

man. Man, this sh*t hurt, man.

- Y'all make up now, man.

- We just, you know, made up, man.

Well, then, hug.

We hugged just now, and gave

each other a pat and we boys again.

- All right. Give it to me.

- We hugged already.

No, man. I want

a big motherfuckin' hug, man.

Damn, man. I love y'all, man.

- Y'all ready to eat?

- Yeah.

All right.

Yo, is that my sh*t?

Damn, not the penthouse.

No. It's all wrong.

You know that memo I showed you?

Refer to it and show me

a new mock-up in the morning.

This is way off, Tye. We are not

gonna shoot this until it's right.

- Angela.

- Come on.

- Hi. We're lookin' for Angela...

- We are not.

What?

Excuse me for a second, please.

- What are you two doing here?

- Angela.

- I haven't seen you in so long.

- Four months, two weeks, to be exact.

- Thank you.

- We miss you. Where have you been?

I miss you, too, and I've been working.

I got a new job. It's very demanding.

It requires me to work long hours,

and I haven't had the time

to teach the class. I'm sorry.

You always had time for us.

I know. Let me tell you somethin', OK?

You know what I had to do? I had

to rearrange my priorities in life.

Angela had to start

lookin' out for Angela.

- How'd you get here, anyway?

- Our new teacher brought us.

- Your new teacher? Where is she?

- He.

Well, where is he?

I think we best get goin' now.

Goodbye, my queen.

- OK.

- Peace.

My brother.

It's pretty low using the kids, Marcus.

What else could I do? I been sendin'

you letters and I know you got 'em.

I'm just not real big

on words on paper these days.

OK. I know I f***ed up.

You're damn right you f***ed up.

You hurt me.

I miss you.

No. I really, really miss you.

I've never missed anybody in my life

and I miss you. I'm in love with you.

It isn't about your love. It's the fact that

you can't love me the way I deserve.

That's what this is about.

You think I'd bother you unless I was

ready to be everything you wanted?

I wanna be straight up about

everything. I want monogamy.

You are my best friend. I'm miserable.

- I even quit my job because of you.

- Did I ask you to quit your job?

- Why are you doin' this?

- Doing what?

Bein' all stiff and cold,

and hidin' behind your work.

I'm taking care of my business,

and I suggest you take care of yours.

Listen.

I know havin' a great job is cool

and all of that but...

you used to have a good time.

You used to be with these kids

and we used to have fun.

We had a great life. You had everything.

Give me one reason

why I should take you back. One.

I didn't think you could.

Do you still love me?

Because I love you so much.

I miss you.

I'm scared.

And I'm miserable.

I can't breathe without you.

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

We should go get your things

and go to my place.

No. I'm not moving into your house

this time. I'm staying in my place.

I want 24-7.

- No.

- That's how committed I am.

No. No. I'm not doin' it.

If you turn and look at her

I will break your f***in' neck.

I was lookin' at this woman, thinkin'

about the future. That's you in 15 years.

- You better still love me.

- She's by herself. I'm playin'. It's you.
