Brown Sugar Page #8

Um...

for one, I married

this beautiful young woman

beside me... mmm...

Which is cool.

But I also lost

my job at Millenium.

No, no, bruh,

the job lost you.

That's right!

Yeah, ok, I like that.

I like that.

But because of it,

I, um... I was able

to start my own label.

All, Clapping:

All right! Whoo!

That took

a lot of courage.

Thank you.

I would like

to thank all of y'all

for all

of y'all's support

during this, uh...

this time.

I would

especially...

like to thank

my best friend,

who, uh, left

that 75-degree weather

to come back home.

You are the perfect verse

over a tight beat.

All:
Ooh! Word up!

Dre:
To hip-hop.

And to the new year!

All:
Yeah! To the new year.

- Hippy-hip-hip!

- Yeah!

Chris:
Yeah, yeah! Ok.

Let's get

to the food! Yeah!

Excuse me. Uh, since... uh,

since we're

all celebrating,

I'd like to... excuse me.

I'm sorry.

I'd like to take this

to another level.

Ok, bruh,

could we just stop

at the food level

real quick, though?

Let me just do this...

Do this real quick,

and then...

And then we'll eat.

Thank you.

All right.

Can I have one...

One, uh...

one second, please?

Let me take this.

Ok. Ahem.

- Man:
Ohh!

- Oh, my goodness!

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, sh*t, we ain't

never gonna eat now.

I love you so much.

Would you do me the honor

of being my wife?

I don't... I don't know

what to say.

Say yes.

Yes.

- All:
All right!

- Aah! Yeah!

Yes.

Sidney:
So,

what is the difference

between rap and hip-hop?

It's simple.

It's like the difference

between saying

you love somebody

and being in love

with somebody.

Rap is just a word.

Um, what are you doin'?

Gettin' more to drink.

You know what

I'm talkin' about.

Gettin'

into this whole...

marriage thing.

Don't you think this is

just a little too fast?

You've only known the cat

for a couple months.

About as long

as you knew Reese

before you got married.

That's why

you doing this?

This whole

competition thing?

What, I marry Reese

and you marry

Sasquatch?

Oh, so now I'm doing

this 'cause of you?

You arrogant

son of a b*tch!

You really on your own sack

right now. So I guess

since I can't marry you,

I'm marrying Kelby.

No, no, no, no! No,

that's not what I meant.

No. Hey... Sid,

that's not what I meant.

Sid, don't...

Sid!

Sidney!

You need to talk

to your friend.

What y'all

goin' through?

You crazy.

Ahh, here we go.

Hey...

Hey.

What you doing?

Just gettin'

these champagne flutes.

Yeah,

that's funny.

You ever wonder why they

call them champagne flutes?

No, I never really

thought about it.

Oh, shoot!

Hey, don't break

the flute now.

If you find out,

get back to me

and let me know.

I will. Hey, that's

a nice outfit.

You look real...

real nice.

And the food

was tight, too.

It was tasty

and nutritious.

Oh, sh*t. Tasty

and nutritious. Oh!

- Hey.

- Hey!

Hey, what's goin' on?

Congratulations, man.

It's a big move.

Good luck to you, man.

Look,

I've been meaning...

I've been meaning

to talk to you

about my album, man.

About my album,

you know?

- Your album?

- Yeah.

Oh...

It's so hard

to get respect

as an MC when

you're a ballplayer.

Right, right.

Rappers

who play sports.

Yeah. Yes.

Same thing.

But I was thinking,

you could be my mentor.

Right.

You know

what I'm sayin'?

- Yeah.

- Like, you could help me

with my lyrics.

You could

work it out so my...

my... my lyrics

get tight.

Tight.

Tight lyrics. Right.

Like a...

like a rap coach.

Like a...

like a rap coach!

- Right.

- Like, exactly!

# New Year's Eve #

# Kelby D in the venue #

# Popped the ring #

# Got marriage

on my menu #

Marriage

on my menu, man!

That's tight. It's not

just basketball with you.

- Yo. Yo!

- Dre? Dre!

Yo, you got

a 2-way, man?

Yeah. Dre?

Anybody seen Dre?

Kelby:
Yo,

you got a number?

Hey, Dre.

Hey,

you all right?

Yeah. Come over here

real quick.

Hey, uh,

what's up with, uh,

Sidney's homegirl?

Sidney... oh.

Francine?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah. She's cool.

You feelin' her?

He was all nervous,

though.

It was kinda cute.

Called my food delicious

and nutritious.

He did?

We was talkin'

a little bit,

you know

what I'm sayin'?

You slick dog!

You feelin' her, man!

So spit at her, man!

She's real cool.

No, no, no, no!

That's what I'm

sayin', you know.

I don't wanna

just, you know,

overwhelm her with

all my game, you know?

I wanna conserve

my game.

I don't wanna just blow

it all on one shot...

You ever notice how

when a guy's tryin'

to mack you,

his voice either

go real high

- Or real low?

- Mm-hmm!

So, I was figurin',

like, you know,

you drop a bird

to Sidney...

Shh! Chris.

It's cool.

If you're scared,

just tell me

you scared.

Just tell me.

We cool!

No, I'm... I'm not scared.

I'm not scared.

Listen, if you're

scared of women...

Whoa, whoa!

Ooh, bro,

why you talkin'

all loud, man?

You don't know

with this party.

This is how rumors

get started.

What's wrong

with you, man?

So, you gonna

give him any play?

I don't know.

He kind of young.

First of all, I ain't

scared of women,

but I ain't like you.

Ok? I ain't

the black male model.

I don't be in the gym

at all times.

Forget it, man. Don't

even say nothin', man.

It's cool. I got you.

I got you. Let's go.

You gonna

hook me up, man?

Don't play me, man.

Kelby:
Mentor!

Got marriage

on my menu!

Kelby?

You know

what I think?

You should hire

a lawyer

to negotiate

your contract.

You serious?

Yeah, I mean,

why pay an agent 4%

to negotiate numbers

that are already set

by a salary base cap?

Dre, don't say anything.

Quit while we still

have a friendship.

Hey, that's what I'm

tryin' to do right now.

I'm trying to save

our friendship.

I'm worried

about you.

- Worried about me?

- Yeah!

You need to stop

worrying about me

and worry about

your own marriage.

So you're...

excuse me.

So you're

the attorney

I'm supposed

to hire, right?

Yeah! Very good!

Dre:
My marriage?

What you mean?

What's that

supposed to mean?

Nothing. Nothing.

Sidney.

What's that

supposed to mean?

Kelby:
Maybe this

is not the best place...

The best time

to talk business,

but I'm sure we'll have

plenty of opportunity

since our spouses

are best friends.

Best... Best friends.

They're so close.

Yeah, well,

how... how do you feel

with them being

so close?

Well, let's just

say it's very hard

to get used to.

Sidney, what did

you mean?! Sid...

Can we just

drop this already?

Tell...

Tell me

what you meant.

Nothing.

No!

You said...

- Te...

- Nothing.

Just...

tell me.

All right. Nothing.

It's nothing.

It's just I... I've

been seeing her

at the gym a lot

lately, and...

a lot of guys try

and run game on her,

and, I don't know,

she don't seem to mind.

Hmm.

She's a flirt.

All right?

She flirts...

She flirts a lot.

She's always

been a flirt.

And she's flirted

with me.

I'm cool with that.

She flirt.

Ok.

That's what I thought.
