Daddy's Little Girls Page #6

Synopsis: A mechanic (Elba) enlists the help of a successful-but-lonely attorney (Union) while trying to wrest custody of his three daughters from his treacherous ex-wife and her larcenous boy friend. Along the way, the working relationship between the blue collar dad and his uptown attorney grows into something more. This is a simple, touching story of two people trying to overcome their different backgrounds to find love, a down-on-his-luck man struggling to protect his children from abuse and neglect, and a community looking to purge itself from the criminals terrorizing their neighborhood.

You know, there is something

I have to ask, though.

Yeah.

Are there any surprises in your past

that I should know about?

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Yes.

Cynthia, no. No, no, no.

I know it's 6:
30. I'm not going.

'Cause I don't want to go

on any more blind dates.

He was a 40-year-old rapper.

No, I didn't hear his demo tape.

Bye. Bye. Thank you, bye.

Sorry.

Why do you...

Why do you go on them dates?

- Why do you go on them blind dates?

- Excuse me.

When I was driving you, you know, you had

your homegirl set you up on a blind date.

And I'm like,

"Why you need that? You're so beautiful."

You really want to know?

I need... I mean, I need to know. I mean...

Because it's really hard

to meet a nice black man.

It is. It is.

And when you're in corporate America,

like me,

the people you work with

don't look like you.

And if you're a black woman

that wants to actually date a black man,

kind of difficult.

No, seriously, and if you want a black man

that has good credit,

actually wants to date a black woman

and doesn't play video games.

- Good luck.

- I love me some black women.

Where's my money?

- I don't have it.

- We can see that.

That's $700, kid.

See, now, the problem is

that comes from queen bee's account.

And as you can see,

she's a little pissed off about it.

Baby, you want to call this one?

- Oh, baby, you're going to let me do it?

- Oh, for sure.

Go do what you do.

Now, kick his ass.

$150.

$275.

- That's a good $350 right there.

- Stop it!

Stop it!

Get him up out of here.

Get him up out of here.

Get him up out of here.

Yo, light up my blowtorch.

I'll be down in about 20 minutes.

What you laughing for? That ain't funny.

I'm laughing at you 'cause...

Baby, he deserves to be beat, okay?

It's a tough world out here

and I'm getting you ready for it.

Ain't nothing given to you, girl.

No, you got to take it.

Now, I'm gonna wipe those

little sweet dreams out of your head,

okay, baby,

if it's not the last thing that I do.

Now, get your little black ass

back in that bedroom

before I have to smack it.

Oh, I'm about to come in there in a minute.

I got a big belt.

Okay, I think that's enough for tonight.

- So, how's it looking?

- Good, good. I think we're gonna do well.

- Come on, I'll walk you to your car.

- Thank you.

You know what?

I forgot, I let my driver go home early.

Oh, well, you know, I'll take you home.

Thank you.

- Is this how you're spending your birthday?

- It's just another day.

Wow, how old are you?

- You don't ask a woman that.

- I just did. How old are you?

- How old are you?

- Thirty-four.

Twenty-twelve.

Okay. Happy birthday.

What are you going home to do?

I got some paperwork

I got to catch up on, stuff like that.

I mean, that ain't how you're

supposed to spend your birthday.

You need to get out and have some fun.

What's fun? I don't even know what that is.

All I do is work.

Fun is where you make it.

Come on, I'll show you some fun.

You know, I don't think

this is gonna be a good idea.

Sure it is.

Is it safe?

You're always safe with me. Come on.

Come on.

What's up, man?

Hey, Karen.

- Did you buy that garage yet?

- I'm still working on it, you know that.

By the way, it's her birthday today.

Well, that's a reason to drink.

Happy birthday.

- What is it?

Oh, no, no.
