Cover Page #4

You just gotta get your mind off it.

That's all.

- What is the chance of that happening?

- Knowin' you- slim and none.

- Thank you. - Hey,

we handlin' this new lifestyle piece at work-

rich celebrities kickin' it

in their bling-bling homes.

We could use another photographer.

That's right. I got you-

on both fronts.

- What you mean on both fronts?

- I said I'm watchin' Dutch.

- So, you had your husband followed.

- She did not say that.

- I did not have him followed.

- But you let it happen.

She's not responsible

for other people's actions.

Detective, I know why

you sittin' here so patiently.

You waitin' for me to slip up

and say somethin'...

that's gonna wrap up your case

in a nice little package.

- Let me make it easy for you.

- Listen, why don't we put a pin in this?

- We don't need-Shh.

- I confess. I'm guilty.

- Say again.

- I'm guilty.

I'm guilty of being... naive.

You tryin' to play us, Mrs. Mass...

like you played your husband?

You do realize these are

unfounded allegations, Dwight?

You do realize these are

unfounded allegations, Dwight?

Hold. Wait, wait.

Why would a Georgia peach

like yourself...

leave your fingerprints on a gun?

Kevin convinced Dutch that...

if he was gonna treat the rich...

he needed to be one of 'em-

adopt the lifestyle.

When I look back on it now...

either I-I couldn't see or...

Open your eyes. Huh?

- didn't want to.

- Oh, my God!

- Is this ours?

- This is ours.

The cars we didn't need

and couldn't afford.

The Louis Vuitton, the Gucci.

We had everything

a man and a woman could want.

She's got her room already.

Let's go see it. Come on, guys.

Or so I thought.

Kevin, I owe all of this to you. Thanks.

Don't thank me yet, because,

uh, you know how payback can be.

Yeah.

Oh, this house is so rare.

I'm proud of you.

It is more than I ever expected,

and I am so happy.

What if I rephrase it?

- Please tell me I'm not the only gay man here.

- I'm afraid so, baby.

Hey, uh, how's she doin'?

It's time to go.

- It's time to go!

- The party is here.

I know you meant to invite me. Is there a

bathroom up here? 'Cause my ladies need to go.

- Upstairs and down the hall.

- I think I'm gonna go with 'em.

I like the view from here. Mmm!

- Excuse me. Can I just, uh, steal my wife?

- Oh, yeah. Excuse me.

- Come on.

- What? What?

Listen.

Now, there's no way I can thank you

for your support over the years.

- But, uh-

- What you got?

- Here's a small token.

- What have you-

Oh, man! Is that-

Thank you.

Look at that man.

- What are you doin'?

- What's it look like I'm doin'?

- My daughter's upstairs.

- Dutch, no, no, no. It's all right.

- Dutch. Dutch, it's all right.

- No. This is my house.

I thought it was Kevin's house,

and I thought this was a party.

You know- Okay,

I'd like for you to leave.

- Kevin, ain't this your house?

- Is this necessary, Ryan?

I'm just tryin' to clear up

a discrepancy here. My bad.

Just get out.

Take your girlfriends and get out.

- Come on. We gonna go to a real party.

- Yeah.

A Ryan Chambers party.

Y'all wanna come to a fun party?

Come to Ryan Chambers's party. Ha!

If your significant other

isn't attending church...

this can be the beginning

of a serious rift in the relationship.

Yes. Sister Mass.

Uh.

What do you do, Sister Dunn...

if your significant other says he wants

to be a part of the church-

Mmm.

but come Sunday...

he always has some excuse not to go?

...or an excuse. What if honesty wasn't

there from the beginning?

What did you say, Charlotte?

I was...

just agreeing with Val.

- Well, amen.

- Amen.

- Hallelujah.

- Amen.

I see you wearin'

some new bling-bling, Mrs. Mass.

- It's a gift.

- Uh-huh.

- Was she starin' at me?

- She sure was.

That child

been comin' here for months...

and hasn't said a word

until tonight.

I think she got some issues.

- Hey, Monica.

- Where the hell is Dutch, huh?

- Du-

- Dutch!

- Monica, Dutch is not here.

- Where the hell is Dutch

with my prescriptions, huh?

- Monica, Dutch is not here.

- Dutch!

And, girl,

what happened to your face?

Have to hurt myself a little of today...

if that's okay with you.

- Dutch!

- Monica, Dutch is not here.

Dutch! I bet you don't know

where he puts his prescriptions.

I was in the hospital today, and Dutch

wasn't at the hospital today.

- He's not here.

- So where is he?

You obviously don't know where

the doctor keeps his prescription pad.

- Please?

- I don't know.

- Oh, no? You don't know?

- No.

Are you sure?

- What are you doin'?

- Oh, I'm high, and I'm drunk.

- And I'm drunk, and I'm high.

- You need to give me that gun.

I'm tired of giving.

All I do is give, give.

- Give me the gun. Give- Oh!

- I'm not strong like you.

- Monica, please.

- You could do it.

You could kill me.

- No!

- My heart feels dead.

- I wanna be dead!

- Oh!

- I got the gun, all right?

- Don't you understand me? Huh?

You're so naive!

I'm in love with a man...

who sleeps around!

And he knows that I'll never leave.

- And God has forsaken me! - Monica,

you cannot blame God for your problems.

- You cannot blame him for your problems.

- I do.

I do blame God.

And one day, you will blame God too.

At least my husband

tells me the truth.

Your husband?

It's pathetic.

- What's pathetic?

- Your lie.

It's so much more fulfilling

than my truth, and that's pathetic.

You wanna know where

Dutch is, don't you?

Oh, I wonder.

Hmm. Where does Dutch wake up?

Oh, Val.

It's snowin' outside.

Hmm. God has given us

another perfect day.

So you're sayin' that that's how

your fingerprints got on the gun?

Val's prints are not

the only prints on the gun.

You should have found Monica's prints on the

gun too. It's all gonna come out in discovery.

Monica's prints were on the gun,

but she has an alibi.

Now, your client,

on the other hand-

The question is not

how the fingerprints got on the gun...

but what you did with it.

Well, up until this point, I had no proof

that my husband was being unfaithful.

What? Come on. You've gotta

be the most naive woman on this planet.

- Naive?

- Yes.

- I never said I was naive.

- You didn't?

"I am guilty of being naive."

- Come on. Is this really-

- You keep out of this!

- What do you mean keep out?

- I didn't say naive.

- You just said you didn't.

- I know I didn't say naive.

- How often do you say what you don't mean?

- I didn't mean naive in the way-

- Tell me what you mean.

I love my husband!

I had faith in my husband!

And... I had a lot to lose.

Ooh. That's a nicer piece than mine.

I don't want that thing in my house.

What am I supposed to do with that?

Well, I don't need it.

I already got one.

Zahara, if you don't

put that thing away-

- You got a permit for that?

- Mm-hmm.

It's better than mace.

You should hold on to this.

Around here, you never know.

- Just in case.

- Okay, all right. Okay, just stop.

Monica came over to my house,
