Daddy's Little Girls Page #8

You just gotta tell me that.

Tell me the truth,

so that way I know how to deal with it.

Look, I don't know how I feel. Okay?

But I can't sit here and lie to you,

and say that I don't think about

who you are and what you have.

I do.

You have three daughters,

one of whom is almost as big as I am.

This is new for me, Monty,

and it's different, and I'm trying.

I am trying

and you gotta give me credit for that.

Can we finish this conversation? Come on.

- No.

- No? What are you... What...

I got my girls for like two more hours,

and I'm not gonna waste my time

dealing with this.

But I will tell you something.

You don't have three girls in your life.

- It's just you.

- Monty. Monty.

- Monty.

- Big guy, ain't he?

- He's so pretty.

- Pretty?

- Look at that one.

- That one's bigger than all of them.

Yeah.

I told him,

"Do not bring this chick to my house."

- Watch the seatbelt. Come on.

- I love you, Daddy.

- See you later.

- Come on, y'all. Hurry up.

- Bye, Ms. Julia.

- All right.

I love y'all. Okay? Y'all be good, okay?

- Little butterfly. Go ahead.

- Come on, y'all.

Come on, y'all. Hurry up.

Shoot, I've been standing out here

all night. I'm tired, too.

Y'all think y'all the only ones tired? Shoot.

Just let me explain, Monty.

The last man that I loved,

he hurt me to my soul.

We were together six years,

and he told me it was over

two days before his wedding.

I trusted him with everything.

And I've never felt so low

and stupid and humiliated in my life.

And so I told myself

not to think about you.

But I couldn't 'cause I do all the time.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying that I've been running

from something that already happened.

And I'm saying that

I fell in love with you, Monty James.

And I'm saying

that I hope I'm not in this alone.

You're not.

You're not alone.

Come here.

Your Honor,

the children's own grandmother,

their maternal grandmother at that,

went down to Child Welfare

and prepared a written statement

as to why the children

should be placed with their father.

Let me see that.

- Did you know about this?

- Look, I don't know nothing about this.

I don't know

what they're trying to pull now.

Your Honor, my client has the means

to take care of these girls.

And she wants to take care...

It says here that her mother thought

the means were ill-gotten.

- Well, that's pure...

- What do you do for a living, Ms. Jackson?

Well, I don't work, Your Honor,

but my boyfriend does.

What does he do?

You know, I mean,

he owns his own businesses.

And where are the tax returns?

Well, you know,

we was working on getting them.

And you know what, Your Honor,

you keep asking me about my stuff,

you need to be asking Monty

about some of his secrets

'cause he got a whole lot of them.

What is she talking about?

Your Honor, Mr. James was convicted of the

rape of a 16-year-old girl 16 years ago.

And we're afraid

for the safety of the children.

Counselor,

what do you have to say about this?

I wasn't aware, Your Honor.

It's right here in black and white.

Yeah, he was sentenced to eight years.

He's been on probation

ever since his release.

I'll take this matter under advisement.

I need to review

the circumstances of this case.

Adjourned.

So how long has he been screwing you?

Huh? 'Cause I know he can't afford you.

- Move, move.

- Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'll have to tap that ass.

Let me explain. Let me explain something.

- Get away from me.

- Hold on.

- Let me...

- Get you hands off of me.

- Wait, let me explain.

- You know what, shut up.

Shut the hell up. I can't even

stand to look at you, right now.

I asked you if there were any surprises.

You said no.

You're a rapist.

You don't think that's something

that I should have known about?

- Let me explain.

- Don't you touch me.

Julia, look. Look. Look.

Let me ask you a question. Did you

or did you not go to jail for rape?

- Julia, look. Julia, look.

- Did you go to jail?

- Did you go to jail for rape, Monty?

- Yes.

That's all I need to know.

Do you know what, it doesn't even matter

'cause you're a liar, Monty.

You're a filthy... God, you're a filthy liar.

This case is over. Maya will call you and

tell you when to return for the ruling.

You don't need me anymore, Monty,

and I certainly don't need you.

So, you like him that much?

- I fell in love with him.

- Oh, Julia.

Sweetie, this was supposed to be

a fun thing, not a love thing.

I know.

Go ahead, Bren, tell me, "I told you so."

Oh, girl, you know I'm not gonna do that.

It's just good that you found out now.

I'm with Brenda on this.

Julia, this guy was probably

just after your money.

He wasn't even like that.

You know, you guys, he was a hard worker.

And he treated...

God, he treats those girls

like they are princesses.

Well, let's not forget he has a record.

How did I not know he was lying?

Because he's probably really good at it.

They all are.

It's like I'm hearing it, you guys,

and I'm trying to understand, but I just...

It doesn't make sense.

You know?

And I can't make my brain believe

that it was all a lie.

Is it as bad as it sounds?

Honey, it's as bad as it sounds.

Jules, just do yourself a favor.

Forget about this guy.

He just sounds like a lot of trouble.

Okay?

I just want to say...

It was like that.

Hi, this is Julia. Leave a message.

Who that?

What y'all doing here?

What y'all doing here?

Where your mama at?

What happened, Sisi? What happened?

Daddy, we don't really care

what the judge says.

We just want to be with you.

I'm staying here.

- How did y'all get here?

- We walked.

Y'all walked at 3:00 in the morning?

We can't stay there anymore, Daddy.

I'm sorry.

- What you talking about?

- Daddy.

- What happened?

- Joe...

Joe what? Sisi you can talk to me.

You tell me, what happened?

- Joe keeps...

- He keeps what?

Joe keeps hitting China.

What?

- Where? Come here. Where?

- On my back.

On your back?

Mama was sitting right there.

She didn't even say anything.

Hold on. Hold on a second.

Come here. He hit you?

He hit me because I wouldn't stop crying.

- Daddy, I was so sad.

- Okay.

Okay, come here. Come here.

Grandma told me.

Grandma told me to look after y'all.

I got to look after y'all.

So y'all gonna stay with me now.

Y'all gonna stay with me now. Okay?

Okay?

Sisi, I'm so sorry. I am so sorry.

Okay, you gotta stay with me.

It's gonna be all right.

It's gonna be all right.

Wait, hold up.

Monty, Monty. Man, come on.

Some girls up in here, man.

Monty, what are you doing, man?

Come on. What's taking you so long?

- I'm Monty.

- We know who you are.

You beat our team.

- How old are you?

- Eighteen.

You know, this sure is a nice place

you have here.

You want to see my room?

- So you gonna call me?

- Probably not.

You're just like all the other guys.

Mandy, what are you doing?

Did he force you?

- No way. Tell him.

- Mandy.

- Yes, Daddy.
