how tacky you are.

l can show my own self out,

thank you very much.

How do l open this damn door?

This is why

you haven't been able to conceive.

Your fallopian tubes

are scarred here and here.

We usually see this form from

a pelvis infection that was once untreated.

What was once untreated?

-Should we talk alone?

-No, it's okay.

An untreated STD can cause this issue.

ls there a surgery or something

that we could...

l honestly wouldn't recommend it.

lt's very risky.

Right. Okay. Excuse me.

Thank you, Doctor.

Babe.

-Babe. lt's okay. Would you...

-l'm sorry l have to go to work.

Would you talk to me?

Do you know how hard it is

looking at all those people

who do not want the children

that they have? And we...

-Okay, let's talk about it.

-Let's talk later, okay?

We'll talk later.

-l love you.

-l love you, too.

Now, first off,

these condoms are free, okay? They're free.

Now, how many times have you heard

your man say, "lt don't feel the same"?

Yes, you've heard that.

Or he might say, "Baby, l ain't got nothing."

And his ass

ain't even been to the doctor. You...

Excuse me forjust one minute.

Take as many as you think you might need.

Frank.

-Hey, baby.

-Frank.

l don't want to talk to you.

l haven't seen you in four days.

Baby, you know l drive that truck.

Frank, l know you. l can smell her

all over you. You've been with her.

Baby, l've been eating donuts, okay?

Look, l miss you.

You don't miss me.

Look, l'm too old for this sh*t, Frank.

You don't want to be with me

unless you can't be with her.

-Baby, l love you. l do.

-You don't love me.

Well, if you love me so much,

why don't you leave me the hell alone?

-Now, come on. Don't hurt me like that.

-Hurt you?

Get your ass out of here.

l've got to go talk to my ladies.

-Baby, l just want to kiss those lips.

-Will you...

Okay, ladies.

Remember when you're using your condoms

you need a water-based lubricant.

Where are they?

Sure, why not?

Excuse me.

Let me have a double vodka straight.

What?

You can tell a lot about a man

by what he drinks.

And what does my drink say about me?

That you're married, here on business,

and you want to get a buzz on quick

so that you can have a good time,

forget about the wife at home and all of that.

-Wow.

-Am l right?

Dead on.

-So what are my chances?

-For what?

Having a good time in your beautiful city.

l'll tell you what.

l'm off in a couple of hours.

l could show you around, if you're up for it.

l'd like that.

l kept the dinner warm for you.

-How'd it go today?

-What are you talking about?

-Thought you were gonna look for a job.

-Ain't nobody trying to hire a veteran.

Get me a drink.

You're not doing what l asked you to do.

-l want a damn drink!

-Beau, maybe you shouldn't drink tonight.

-You saying l got a problem?

-l'm saying you need to take your meds.

-Now you're telling me what l should do?

-l'm telling you what l think.

l'm not accusing you of anything.

-Are you hungry?

-What?

-l'm not an alcoholic.

-l know.

l'm trying. l'm trying, Crys.

l know that, too.

l know what the military did to you.

l'm on your side.

l know why you get mad sometimes.

l get mad.

But sometimes when you drink,

you get out of control.

Don't drink tonight, okay?

You love me?

Man, l have loved you

since we were 14 years old.

Ain't nothing changed at all

with Crys, right?

lf you love me,

then why won't you marry me?

Beau.

We got more things to worry about

than getting married.

Listen, l know we had a fight last night,

but the silent treatment

just isn't good for me.

You were supposed to meet for dinner.

Call me. l'm worried about you.

"My papa thought he was Puerto Rican

"We would've been, except we were

Just regular negroes with hints of Spanish

"So off l made it to this 36-hour marathon

"Con salsa con Ricardo Sugar Ray

on Southern Boulevard

"lt was up, up, up, up, up stairs and stairs

And lots of hallway

"My colored New Jersey self

Didn't know what anybody was saying

"Except if dancing was proof of origin

l was Jibarita herself that night

"l kept smiling and right on stepping

lf he could lead, l was ready to dance

"lf he couldn't lead

l caught this attitude l'd seen Rosa do

"And would not be bothered"

-Mrs. Bradmore, are you ready to order?

-No, Danny, l think l'm just gonna go home.

Can you have my driver pull around

and get my coat, please?

-Yes, ma'am. Right away, ma'am.

-Thank you.

-Hey, Mama.

-Hey.

-You moved my box.

-What?

-l had a box there. Where's my box?

-lt's right there, Mama.

l don't like it when you move my things. l...

l'm sorry.

-l know you're tired, Mama.

-l'm tired.

Come on.

You're my angel.

You're nothing like your sister.

-lt's only $38, Mom.

-That's all l made.

l tried to get some more,

but your sister wouldn't give me any money.

Maybe you shouldn't have told her

it was for me.

l didn't tell her it was for you,

but you know l don't lie.

-l know.

-She can't stand you.

lt's because you're so much better

than she is.

lf l told her that l needed money

for you to better yourself,

she would never give it to me.

She holds on to that wallet

like Jacob holding an angel.

Maybe l can speak to your teachers

and l can pay it off over time.

No, don't. She won't do that.

Miss Yasmine said if l don't get the money,

then l can't get the application to apply.

Elnohim will find a way. Don't worry.

-All right, shall l read?

-Okay.

"And dance is my thank you for music

"And l love you more than dance

"More than Aureliano Buendia

Loved Macondo

"More than Hector Lavoe loved himself

"More than the lady loved gardenias

"Or Graciela loved El Son

"More than the flamingos love being pretty"

We're here.

-l had the best time.

-l told you.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

So, can l come up?

-lt's getting late.

-Okay.

-Well, good night.

-Good night.

Hey, you know what? l was thinking.

Maybe on our next date you can cook.

You know, help a brother save some money.

-l had such a good time, l will do that.

-Nice. Okay.

Go on in. l want to make sure you're safe.

Bye.

Wait, wait, wait.

Look, l got something to tell you.

l only have about $80 on me.

-What are you talking about?

-That's all l have.

lf you want to go to the ATM, we can do that.

You think l'm a hooker?

-Aren't you?

-No!

-l'm sorry. l'm drunk.

-What is so funny?

l guess l'm just old-fashioned.

What kind of woman picks a man up in a bar

and brings him back to her place

if she's not a hooker?

One that likes to f***.

-Don't laugh at me.

-l'm sorry.

Don't laugh at me.

-This is some sick sh*t.

-You men with your double standards.

You can do it, but a woman can't.

Get out. Get out!

That's a good idea.

You seem to do this too often to be healthy.

You think l have some kind of disease?

lf it ain't in your body,

it is definitely in your head.

You ain't one to judge me

you son of a b*tch!

Now, what do you want?

-Why won't you give Mom some money?
