Coalition Page #5

Synopsis: In May 2010, Great Britain encountered a critical dilemma - neither the Conservative party, the Labour party or the Liberal Democrat party got enough votes to win the General Election. Faced with the first hung parliament in 36 years, and with next to no seats compared to the other two parties, the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg (Bertie Carvel) is faced with a choice: either join forces with the Conservatives and their leader David Cameron (Mark Dexter) or with Labour and their leader, the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown (Ian Grieve). Met with the possibility to being branded a traitor and the future of the nation's government in his hands, the choice that Clegg is left to make will change the face of modern British politics for years to come.

I would totally understand

if he had trust issues

dealing with those type of women,

just throwing themselves at him.

Yeah, you'd be surprised,

honey, they're everywhere.

That's why I make it

my business to find out

if these girls are dating my brother

for the right reasons

or because he's

a pro basketball player.

Prime is your brother?

Milan Alexander at your services.

(chuckles)

I had no idea.

I-- I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say

anything, honey.

You've said enough.

I'm just happy to find out

that my brother's with someone

who's with him for the right reasons.

You're a sweetheart.

Keep it that way.

And don't break his heart.

- (hip-hop music playing)

- (engine revs)

So what's up, baby?

Baby, come on.

- You know we be off the hook, baby.

- Shanita:
Kalif! Kalif!

- Hold on. Oh sh*t.

- Who the hell plays basketball

this damn late at night?

- You better have your ass back by 9:00!

- Yo, come on, man, go!

I'm not playing with you, Dallas!

Mira:
Why can't you just

find somebody else tonight

- and have a little fun?

- Carnegie:
No one gets me like Dallas.

Oh God, nobody gets you--

okay, what does he tell you?

- I mean--

- Carnegie:
I mean--

Mira:
I don't know. This guy

sounds like he's kinda full of it.

Carnegie:
No, but you're

always negative like this.

Every time I like somebody,

you jump down my throat.

You gotta go with my gut.

And my gut is I really like him.

Okay, go with your gut.

What about your heart?

My gut-- oh, Chad's working.

Probably get some free drinks.

- Isn't that Dallas?

- (gasps) Let's go!

Oh, wait wait wait wait.

He's with a girl.

(rock music playing)

(laughs)

No no, that's probably

like his friend or his cousin

or something.

It's all right.

That's-- that's definitely-- definitely--

- Let's go investigate.

- Umm...

Sorry. Excuse me.

Just-- excuse me.

Just trying to get to my boyfriend here.

Excuse me, guys.

- Dallas:
To a lot of luck, baby. Whoo!

- All:
Whoo!

Dallas!

Dallas! Hey.

Oh hey, Carnegie.

What are you doing here?

I was gonna ask you

the same thing.

Excuse me, guys.

Work that body,

get your sexy on...

Dylan:

He should be embarrassed.

- He's acting like a child.

- Honey, I was dragged out of a club--

dragged out of a club

by two people

holding me down.

It was embarrassing.

- It was very embarrassing.

- I wish I was there.

Look, Carnegie, you know

I don't want anything, right?

I'm a single man.

I'm not looking for anything

serious right now.

Whoa. Umm...

I wish you would've

told me that last night,

because I didn't get that memo

when you were in my bed.

To go through that

by yourself, that's not--

- What?

- That's Dallas.

I'm sorry you feel like that.

I thought we were just hanging out,

enjoying each other's company.

- Carnegie, come on, let's go.

- Yeah well, I didn't know that, Dallas.

Okay? And the only reason

why you're in the clear

is because you never mentioned

the word "relationship"

when you were wining and dining me

and bringing me

my favorite cupcakes.

You're in the clear because

you could do whatever you want

and my feelings is no consequence

to how you feel!

He's doing the exact same thing

that Prime did to you.

Why do they all act like that?

Why do they get to get away with that?

- They won't. They won't.

- You got what you wanted,

and now you're done.

Right? Is that how it goes?

- Is that how it goes?

- Come on, Carnegie, let's go.

- Let's go.

- Listen to your girl.

Screw you, Dallas!

- (crickets chirping)

- (car door shuts)

Nice.

20 minutes, huh?

- Two hours later...

- (chuckles) Whatever.

- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

- Who's this little princess?

- This beautiful thing is my niece.

- Hello there.

- Hi.

- She's so precious.

- She's so cute.

Are you ready to go inside?

They have been waiting

to meet my beautiful

girlfriend all day.

- Your girlfriend?

- Did I say something wrong?

No, babe.

Girlfriend is just fine.

I like that. Come on.

My name is Katalina too.

Hi, family.

This is Katalina, everyone.

Katalina, this is my family.

Lonzo, don't have her thinking

you were raised by wolves.

Oh, here we go.

That's my sister.

Nice to meet you, Katalina.

I'm Susie.

- Nice to meet you, Susie.

- This is my father,

- Mr. Juan Rodriguez.

- Mr. Rodriguez, a pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you too, Katalina.

Hope you don't mind.

I brought some cake for dessert.

Oh, I don't mind.

What kind of cake do we have?

It don't matter what kind of cake it is.

You ain't having any.

What do you mean

I'm not gonna have any?

A man should be able to have cake

in his own house if he wants to.

- Yeah, that's-- that's my family.

- That's my cake.

- Yeah.

- (both laugh)

- (rattling)

- Carnegie, come on!

Come on, you cannot let him

embarrass you like this!

Don't let him win!

He's such a f***ing a**hole!

Are you gonna come out?

Come on, Carnegie!

She's right, you know. You need

to pay him back for what he did to you.

I'm sorry, but that was ridiculous.

Um, who are you?

My name is Autumn, I used to date

one of Dallas's friends, Prime,

and he embarrassed me in the exact

same way that he embarrassed you.

- Carnegie.

- (crying)

What did you say?

I'm sorry.

I saw that back there

and that was ridiculous.

I cannot believe

he did that to you.

- It is not right.

- Why does this always happen to me?

I always fall in love with a**holes.

Autumn:

Look, Dallas, Prime, Lonzo, Kalif--

all of them, that whole little crew--

they're dogs, okay?

They don't give a sh*t about

anyone else but themselves.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah.

- I feel so stupid. I feel--

- Mira:
No.

- Yes, I feel stupid.

- Do not blame yourself.

I'm sure he wined and dined you,

- did all that sweet sh*t.

- Cupcakes.

Autumn:

That's what they do. Look, honey--

- I'm so sorry.

- Carnegie:
Thank you.

It's a game to them, okay?

They don't care about

who they hurt in the process.

It's not even

about the sex to them.

They just wanna conquer

as many women as they can

and they don't care who gets hurt

in the process. Trust me.

Times like these,

I'm glad I do women.

Look, if I were you,

I would confront him.

I would let him have it.

I mean, did you see

his smug ass out there?

All those guys out there,

they think he's a hero.

And those women?

They still will talk to him

because they think

it's something you did.

They never think

it's something they did.

Dylan:

You didn't deserve that, no matter what.

- He doesn't even care about you.

- Not at all.

- Carnegie:
Hm-mmm.

- We've gotta do something.

Don't let him get away

with this at all.

- Okay. Okay.

- Autumn:
At all.

- Dylan:
Yeah.

- All right, I'm gonna go out there.

Yes! Dry your eyes.

- All right, you look cute.

- I'm going. Okay.

Skylar:
Are you guys sure

about this dress?

It's cut really low.

Miss Hathaway,

are you in the dress?

Yes.

- Are you in the shoes?

- Yes.

Then get the hell
