You know, you're a good dancer.

You know. Body movement's

my specialty.

Smooth.

You know, they once banned

dipping in some countries...

because it was considered

a form of foreplay.

I didn't know that.

Okay.

You learn something new

every day, huh? Yeah.

How long do you

wanna stay here?

After watching Lucius grovel,

not long.

What you wanna do?

Something fun.

Nice sofa.

I bought it just for you.

Just a second.

Let me get this off.

No, Eva. Don't take

your clothes off.

You wanna do it with them on? I'm

into that. Let me hike this up.

No. No, no, no, no.

I can't do this.

The bulge in your pants

didn't get that memo, so-

No, no, no, no. I- I need

to tell you something.

Yes. Whatever it is, yes. Yes. No, look.

I don't wanna move too fast.

Fast? No. The average American couple

has sex on their third date, and...

we have been dating way,

way, way longer than that.

I just-

Look, you've been through

so much stuff with men.

And I don't wanna mess things

up. I want it to be perfect.

I just think

we should wait a while.

I have to respect that,

don't I?

Yeah, I guess you do.

I have to go.

Please, don't be mad at me.

No, I'm not. It's just-

I just never had a guy who cared so

much about my feelings. It's kind of-

Oooh. It's making me

want you even more.

And if I don't leave

right now,

I'm gonna start saying all kinds

of hot, nasty, dirty things.

How hot and nasty?

Real freaky.

Go. Go.

Oh, God. Okay.

Stay.

Yeah? Oh, God.

No.

Okay.

Look-

Yes!

Oh, my God.

Did I hurt you?

Yes.

But I liked it.

Yeah?

Maybe next time we'll

actually make it to the bed.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

That was good.

Ray,

I wanted to say, the stuff I said

before, I just wanted to apologize.

I mean, how I acted.

That was

a beautiful apology.

The best part was when

you called me Ray.

That's 'cause there's not a lot of

need to be formal right about now.

'Cause I'm a big ho.

If you really wanna make

it up to me, tell me a joke.

No. I'm not a good joke teller. I'm

terrible. That's what makes it so special.

Okay. Oh, God.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay.

This guy goes

to a zoo, right?

You're gonna like it.

Okay, he goes to a zoo.

And he sees this gorilla.

Okay.

Okay. And he says to the gorilla, "Yo, brother. Can you give. "

No. He says,

"Yo, brother. Can you loan-"

Yeah. "Yo, brother.

Can you loan me a dollar?"

And the gorilla says,

"That's why I don't wear pants. "

Right.

Oh, my God.

Don't you get it?

The pants and the gorilla.

Yeah. Best joke

I ever heard.

Best joke I ever heard.

I forgot about that joke.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my goodness.

Ray?

Hmm?

Thinking about what you told me

about your parents.

God, I mean, my folks died, but I

had my sisters to live for, you know?

I just think it might be-

it might be easier for you to get

over your fear of building a life...

if you had someone there

to help you do it.

I see.

You wanna be my bridge.

It's not like I wanna get

married to you or anything.

I can- I can be a really

good friend, that's all.

You give me your body, and then

you offer me your friendship?

My priorities are straight.

Thank you very much.

I'm offering you

the best of me right now.

Eva.

I'm not the person

you think I am.

I know most women think their

man is the one that's different.

None of us are different.

I'm just like other men.

Maybe not as good as most.

I want you to think about what it

would take to build a bridge with me.

I can handle it, Ray. Okay?

I can handle it.

As long as you keep giving

me what I need, I am good.

You got all you want?

Yeah.

That. That.

A whole lot of that.

A lot of that?

A lot of that.

And all the other stuff too.

You hear me?

How can I turn down

a deal like that?

You can't.

Can you?

What's up?

Hey, girl. Nice shoes.

Ormandy. You look good.

Telly, baby,

give me some love.

Eva, what has gotten

into you?

- Not "what," "who. "

- What are you wearing?

- Eva, you're glowing.

- What did you do?

Sh*t, I ain't sharing

my "bidness" with you.

- Oh, my God. She said "sh*t. "

- And "bidness. "

- She gone mad to her ass.

- Y'all need to stop trippin'. I'm just in a good mood.

It's a beautiful day out. I'm with my

girls. Stop sweatin' me. My joints is hot.

And my cakes is moist.

Can a sister get some water, or

a fan or iceberg or something?

- Okay, Eva, for real. You're scaring me.

- Did you and Ray do it or not?

Well,

he did show up

at the mayor's fund- raiser.

Just when I was trapped

by Lucius Johnson...

and his wife.

- You saw Lucius? What did you do?

- Nothing. Ray did it.

He put that little sucker

in his place.

Excuse me, is there

like some, um, boning...

or salad tossing or something

in this story? Stop it.

Come on.

Okay. After he rescued me,

we danced all night long.

Slow, close,

just pelvis to pelvis.

And then we went back

to my place...

and had a nice

respectable evening.

And then we burned

a hole in the floor!

Wow. There's my baby.

Let's get freaky- deaky.

Come on, to the bedroom.

Follow me.

You know what Eva told me?

Here we go.

She told me that Ray drives his

old van from his job to save money.

So what? I mean, what's that

got to do with freaky-deaky?

I don't feel like

I sacrifice like Ray does.

You know, when I need to get

back into being focused on school.

Look. First off, Ray and

Eva, they ain't you and me.

I know that.

They're not married.

They ain't phone-boning. They're

not having sex. None of that.

Actually, they do have sex.

He hit that?

Mm-hmm.

And from what I hear,

you could take a little lesson

from him in that department.

What the-

What's that supposed to mean?

He got some tricks and sh*t?

I seen the dude

lickin' his lips and stuff.

Come on, sexy. Let's play doctor.

Tim, listen to me, all right?

I have been thinking a lot

about Ray and Eva.

And how they have this wonderful

new relationship, right?

And it's made me think about myself

and the plan that I had for my life...

and how I let it go.

What? But, baby,

I threw all my condoms out.

Honey.

Ohh.

I'll get you some more.

They're on sale at Target.

Come on, Kareenah!

Sweetie, listen.

I am ready. Baby, I am so damn fertile

that if you kiss me you'll get pregnant.

This isn't like buying a coat.

If you have a baby,

you can't give it back

if you don't want it.

Who said that, Ray or

Eva? I don't remember.

Honey, why is my potpourri

on the bed?

See-

Get the DustBuster.

It was- I was gonna-

It's hot in here.

Baby, I thought we've

been through this already.

Ray and Eva have a good relationship

and they don't cohabitate.

Oh, my God. That's all I've been

hearing lately. Ray and Eva. Ray and Eva.

It's not like they're Will

and Jada or George and Weezy.

They each have their own place.

They have respect for each other.

Ray doesn't even

care about Eva. I paid-

I paid close attention to him.

He does not like her.

Sure. That's why Ray

calls her every day.
