Brown Sugar Page #2

---

For many people,

hip-hop was

that first friend.

The first to talk to us...

the first to understand.

Hip-hop has always been

that kind of friend to me.

And like any relationship,

I've watched it grow.

I've watched it change.

#Who's the one that can't

comprehend at first? #

#Well, I may sound

like a cell phone... #

Hey, Sid Shaw.

Hey, how you doing,

Beanie?

Been trying, um...

What's up?

I'm trying... Me

and my man Fab are

trying to get at you

for the longest.

What's up

with that cover?

Fab, how you doing?

I'm working on it.

Yo, for real?

Yeah, yeah, I got you.

Thirsty?

Girl, I worked

a double shift

at the restaurant

to get this night off.

I'm about to have a ball.

You should, too.

I'm having fun.

Oh, stop!

See? See, this is

why I don't date.

Only guys I meet are

in the industry,

and they ain't never got

their sh*t together.

What, like him?

Sidney, Voice Over: Ever

thought you'd see the day

hip-hop grew up?

From red Kool-Aid block

parties in the Bronx

to champagne toasts

in Soho.

Ooh! Ha ha ha!

What're you

drinking, beautiful?

Uh, um...

that'll be a Perfect 10

for the lady,

if you please.

And a Ketel One

martini

up with a twist

for the gentleman.

Get up off that chair

and hug me, girl.

What's up, baby?

I have missed you

so much.

I missed you, too.

How you been?

Kiss it.

Look at you.

There you are.

Oh, my God.

I got you, I got you.

Dre, stop it! I can't

believe you left me

over there

with that man.

Don't be mad.

Kiss me, kiss me.

Gimme a kiss,

gimme a kiss.

Yes, that's

what I like.

Sidney here is somebody

I want you to meet.

Oh, my God!

Sidney, Reese.

It's so good

to meet you.

Oh, my God! I've heard

so much about you.

Oh, well, I hope

it wasn't too bad.

No, and you look great.

But I can't compete with

you in that dress.

Oh, please, I think you

are wearing that dress.

And your earrings

are so beautiful.

Do you hear

something, Sidney?

Yeah, sounded

like a male ego.

Ha ha ha ha!

That's real funny.

Anyway, this is cute.

Y'all should take

this little act

on the road.

We're just

teasing you.

Oh, there's Steve.

I gotta talk to him

about the Arista

deal. Sidney...

good to meet you.

Ok.

Hurry up. I love you.

I love you.

Not bad, not bad.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, she's pretty

much amazing.

Amazing?

Mm-hmm.

That's not a word

I've heard you use

to describe

one of your women.

Oh, she ain't like

any of the others.

For real.

What's up?

I want to show you

something.

Is that

what I think it is?

Yeah.

Think I'm gonna

do it tonight, Sid.

- What?

- Uh-huh.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

But, Dre,

you've known her

for like

5 minutes.

I know, I know, but, um...

I... I think she's the one.

So I'm retiring

the "Slow JJams Deluxe

Get The Drawers" tape.

The "Slow JJams Deluxe

Get The Drawers" tape?

Yeah. The one with

Luther, Sade,

and the extended mix

of Prince's Adore, so...

Damn, it's like that?

I'm for real.

What, why are you

looking at me like that?

I don't know.

We're...

We're grown-ups.

I'm so glad you're here.

Oh, I'm happy

to be here. Ohh!

All right,

I'm about to go in.

You'll be fine.

You'll be fine.

Trust yourself.

All right.

My breath tart?

No, you're cool.

All right. Here we go.

Ohh!

Oh, my God!

Dre, oh, my God!

Yes, yes, yes!

#Was it good enough

for you? #

Girl,

I can't believe

you've been here

damn near a month

and you still

not unpacked.

I've been busy.

I mean, there's this

little job I have

at this little

magazine.

Besides, there's order

in this chaos.

I know where everything is

and where everything goes.

So, uh, where does

this go? Ooh!

It's not what you think.

It's a massager

from Brookstone.

Oh, come on, Sid,

like I don't know...

It's a massager!

Men take too much

of your time.

Time I don't have.

You're turning into

a Terry McMillian character.

Don't say that,

that's cold!

I'm telling you

you're in trouble.

Oh, it's just I never

seem to find anyone

on the same page

with me.

What, like Dre?

Oh, here we go.

Come on.

You're gonna tell me

you never thought

about hooking up?

Dre asked me once

when I was at Columbia

if we should try being

more than just friends,

and... I told him no.

No?! What is wrong

with you, girl?

I mean, we've been through

everything together.

Exactly. So if

you two hook up,

you get the best

of both worlds.

You get the buddy

and the booty.

I hear you,

but relationships break up.

People get angry,

they never want to

talk to each other again.

I mean, you're divorced.

Terrell was your ace, right?

You still talk to him?

Me and Terrell talk

all the time.

We talk

about alimony,

we talk about

that tramp...

Exactly, exactly.

And you know Dre.

He's never been with a woman

more than a month.

Yeah, well,

looks like

he's gonna

keep this one.

Guess so. Ooh,

she invited me

to her bridal tea

shower thingy,

and I don't know

what to bring.

You haven't

changed a bit.

Want me to pick

something up for you?

Oh, would you,

would you?

I got you, cuz,

I got you covered.

You're the best

cousin in the world.

So what do you want me

to do with your massager?

High speed, low.

Reese:
Sidney!

You made it! Hi!

Hey.

Oh, thank you.

I wonder what this is.

Woman:
And we called

her Reese's pieces.

Second Woman:
Ok,

let's move on to the groom.

I'll ask

the same questions.

What is Dre's middle name?

Fine.

Romulus.

What'd you say,

Sidney?

You know the answer?

Romulus.

That's right.

That's the name of

this shake dancer,

works Club

Mozambique.

Ok, Aunt Betty.

Ok, anyway...

Romulus is right.

What is Dre's

favorite drink?

- Cosmo.

- A polar bear.

Ketel One martini

up with a twist,

but if he's trying

to show off, Macallan 25.

Right again.

Macallan 25.

All right, then.

What is Dre's

favorite song?

The Bridge Is Over,

Boogie Down Productions.

Ok, Sid can't

play anymore.

She knows too much.

Reese:
Ok, let's move on

to something else.

How about...

This is from moi.

Oh, you guys,

you guys!

Ooh!

Ohh!

Honeymoon night only.

You're so incredible.

I love you so much.

I'm glad

you like them, darling.

Ok, next, let's do...

Sidney's gift.

Thank you.

Such a sweetheart.

Nice. Very nice.

They're gonna be

perfect with my whip.

Sidney:

I'm gonna kill France!

I was

so embarrassed, Dre.

And hungry.

I bet you were.

I mean, they didn't

have anything

but those little

cucumber sandwiches

with the crust cut off.

Just keep

the change.

Thanks for meeting me.

You're my dawg.

It's good, huh?

Mmm!

I love

these bad boys.

It's true.

I can't even front.

Whenever I go out

with Reese,

we always going

to some fancy spot

with white

tablecloths

and a lot

of silverware,

hosting one of

Reese's clients.

I haven't had one of

these bad boys

since we started

dating.

Wow. She must really

be something.

Mmhh.

Yeah, for sure.

She's brown sugar.

Oh, yeah,

the brown sugar.

Yeah.

Break it down for me.
