Okay.

In the car.

Wait wait wait

You really don't know

No. I mean,

I have no damn idea

- who you are.

- You don't remember anything?

I think that's been

established, okay? L...

What were you

doing at the hotel?

I came to pick you up.

- You called me.

- I did?

Wh... what was I doing

at the hotel?

I don't know. What were you

doing at the hotel, Jake?

You really have

no idea who I am?

No, I have no idea!

What are you doing?

Are you crying?

Don... don't cry.

Why are you crying?

I can't believe you don't

Wife?

To a white woman?

Yes, to a white woman!

Look, okay, a'ight, look look

Don't cry, um...

My name is Diane.

Of course. I call you "Dynamite,"

"Di Baby," "Di Baby. "

No no. You don't call me that.

You call me Diane.

Of course I call you "Diane. "

There's no... okay, Diane.

Don't cry, baby,

all right? It's okay.

Everything's o... come over here

and give your man a big kiss.

We are definitely

married

'cause that's

some bullshit. Ow.

Jake, we are gonna have

to get you all fixed up.

Yeah, why don't we do that?

Get me fixed up.

I need a doctor to check out

Jake immediately.

Right, he's had

an injury.

I'm bringing

my husband home.

Yes. Yes,

to the country house.

- A dead FBI agent and 250 Gs...

- Yes. We're gonna be there shortly,

...and I'm married!

- So get the staff ready, okay?

It's been a hell

of a morning.

Yes, sir. Did you notice

if your window...

Tell me something.

The attendant said he saw

someone leave the room.

Any description?

He was black.

Oh, well, now that

you solved the case,

- could you tell me what happened?

- I don't know.

That's all you can say?

That man was part of your team.

Look, I know.

Find out who this room

is registered under.

It wasn't registered

to anyone.

- What, they just let themselves in?

- Apparently.

How could you not know what one

of your agents was doing up here?

Look, with... with... with

all due respect, all he did was phone.

He left me a message saying

that he'd come up with a lead,

but he wasn't

on a secure line and...

- And?

- And then that... that's it.

He said he was gonna call me later

and that's the last I heard from him.

I want you to search every

surveillance tape in the hotel.

Whoever did this has to have

been seen leaving the building.

I'm on it.

Oh, what's all this?

This is where

we live.

Wait wait wait... you're trying

to tell me I got it like this?

- That's what I said, baby.

- This is where I live

and ain't none of my cousins

or nothing living all up in here?

All these cars is mine,

all that lawn is me,

and all this house

is mine?

Well, that is,

until you die...

then it's all mine.

My mama know

about you?

Come on, baby.

Come on.

Yoo-hoo,

Daddy's home.

Hey hey, what are

you doing, man?

Sorry, sir. I was trying

to take your briefcase.

That's all you're gonna be

doing, is trying.

You ain't taking no

briefcase around here...

Jake! Simon's

our butler.

- Our butler?

- Oh...

my husband's having

slight memory problem.

- Memory problem, sir?

- Yes, memory problems.

Look, Simon, I can't

remember a thing right now,

but don't you worry, all right?

I'm just going to settle in

and try to get all this to work

for me, you know what I'm saying?

Now you're gonna leave me

hanging. Okay.

- Very good, sir.

- Thank you, Simon.

Thank you, madam.

So, uh...

what is it that I do

around here all day?

- You don't really have to do much.

- Why is that?

Honey, you're rich!

- I'm rich?

- Hmm.

I'm rich... I guess you don't

have to do much if you rich.

In that case, I ain't doing

nothing for the rest of the day.

As a matter of fact, I ain't gonna do

a damn thing tomorrow, either.

Except remember.

Right, angel?

Yeah. Where

the bedroom?

Mmm?

Wait a minute...

I'm rich,

I got a big house,

married

to a white woman.

Am I Lionel Richie?

Whoo...

this is

all right, huh!

- So this is my bedroom?

- Our bedroom.

Yeah.

And this is my chair?

You know, it could

use some plastic,

and these curtains...

these, uh...

All yours.

I mean, they

don't seem like me.

I mean, they real frilly.

Well, that's because

I picked them out.

Oh, sorry, babe.

You have

exquisite taste.

Thank you.

- So those are my trophies?

- Mm-hmm.

So I'm karate man, huh?

Who are all

these white people?

That's my family, Jake.

Don't you recognize anyone?

Why am I not

in the picture?

- You took it, remember?

- I took it.

Of course, I took it,

I took it.

I mean, what are you,

Creole?

- That's right, baby.

- That's what I thought.

Them red beans

and rice is working!

Doctor Soames, madam.

- Oh, the good doctor.

- Hello.

This is Dr. Soames.

He's gonna examine you

and make you

all better.

Ahem. Good.

Good, 'cause I need

to remember something.

Like, first of all, where is

the bathroom around here?

- Right through that door, sir.

- Cool.

I'm gonna be ready

for the examination

in a couple of minutes...

or a half hour.

You got any magazines?

Of course.

Here they are.

- Where's my "Jet"?

- "Jet," sir?

Yeah, the small, little magazine,

like a pamphlet...

a lot of pictures,

"Beauty of the Week"...

for people that like to read,

but not too much.

I'll get one immediately.

Anything else, sir?

- I got a craving for Skittles.

- Skittles, sir?

Yeah, man, I love those

little bite-size, chewy candies...

They're delicious!

They get stuck in your teeth, though.

- Right away, sir.
