Forbidden Woman Page #2

---

she is the ultimate

love of my life.

Oh, you don't need

to pour it on...

You have transformed me

into everything

I am right now.

And you've made me

whole again.

You already got me, Randall.

- Stop it.

- Yeah, he got you...

right out of the cradle.

So are you working

late tonight?

Um, Vanny,

I wanted to, um...

I wanted to talk to you about that.

Um, you know with

this big deal next week

I'm gonna be burning

the midnight oil, so...

I mean, is there something you

wanted that we can talk about?

No, just ever since you

came close to making this deal,

I've just been restless.

I've been at home, lonely.

We used to have

more fun than this.

I know, I know, but as soon

as this merger goes through,

I'll have a lot of time

on my hands

and we can pick up

right where we left off.

Yeah, you picked up right from

the school playground.

Sheila, would you...

Vanny, listen,

why don't you

take the credit card

and go down to that little boutique

that you like

and do a little shopping,

buy whatever you want.

Whatever?

Mm-hmm, if you need

my administrative skills

while you're down there,

I'm available.

Hey...

I love you.

It was nice meeting

everyone.

And I'm watching you.

##

That...

...is one gorgeous woman.

You know, I can't believe he didn't

mention my name not once.

Don't I do a lot around here?

Not even

a little bit of, you know,

"Hey, Jarvis, I like the way you made

the coffee, man."

Prepping my sugar... nothing.

I get no respect.

Sheila, I'm telling

you right now.

See.

##

I see how you watch TV.

You flip

the channel every second.

Oh, come on, man, you know

I'm just a junior attorney.

You know, ain't got this kind of

cable at my house, can't afford it,

so I got to watch every

station I can.

- Yeah, speaking of your house.

- Uh-huh.

When you going home?

Go home?

Oh, come on, man.

You know you miss your boy.

Come on,

we just hanging.

I been at work with you all day, man,

why you getting weird?

What... weird?

Of course not,

I'm not getting weird.

I just, you know, like hanging

with my dog,

my homey,

you know what I'm saying?

Just kicking it with my boy.

You know, rolling

with the homey.

- What did you do, man?

- Huh?

What did you do?

What...

Okay, all right, look.

I stayed an extra half an hour

at the sports bar.

Now she looking for me,

I'm scared.

Man, come on, dude,

you gotta help me, dog.

Call the police... no, better yet,

call my mom.

Why don't you

put your foot down, man?

- Put my foot...

- Raven will respect you more

once you take up for yourself.

- Really, put my foot down?

- Yes.

Last time I put my foot down,

she put that foot in my mouth

and wrapped my own leg

around my neck.

I'm telling you,

this woman is a serial killer.

I'm not talking Cocoa Puffs.

I got the solution,

perfect solution.

Can I live with you?

Oh no, oh no, you ain't bringing that

foolishness in my house.

- No, sir.

- Come on, man.

Look, you think I could suffer from

post-traumatic stress syndrome?

'Cause, like, I be sitting at my desk,

I be, like, twitching.

I be, like, scared,

my bowels ain't moving in weeks.

It's weird, dude, I'm...

something's wrong, dude.

I'm having nightmares,

nightmares.

- Nightmares?

- Yes.

In the day?

Yes, tell me

that ain't crazy.

Nightmares during the day,

that's me, that's how I live.

- Know what you need to do?

- What?

You need to chill, okay.

- "Woosah," breathe.

- Just breathe?

Breathe it out, bro,

you're gonna be fine.

I read that somewhere,

just breathe.

- Yes.

- Okay, yeah.

You know, who used to really

help me breathe?

- Who?

- Yvette.

Yeah, Yvette, I'll tell ya, she really

knew how to calm me down

- when I used to feel like this.

- Come on, man.

Don't go there.

You broke up

with her three years ago

so stop it, all right?

Look, I mean, three years,

it's been a long time, man.

- Stop it, man, stop it.

- She was the love of my life, dude.

You just mad at me now

because I'm, you know...

I used to date your sister.

You said it

was cool, E.

No, you told me I had to go through

with it, okay?

These situations

are kind of awkward.

These breakups where

it's my best friend

and my sister, you know?

Nobody could

treat me like Yvette.

I mean, she was...

I mean, she was cool, I mean...

I loved nobody like her.

That's right.

You know, she just need her space,

that's all, you know.

You know what, speaking of space,

- I need my space, okay?

- Yeah.

Now I'm not saying

you gotta go home, bro,

but it's about that time.

I need to unwind a little bit, you know,

kind of just...

air out, so...

- What, just like that?

- I'll see you at work tomorrow.

Just 'cause I started talking about

your sister and everything,

reminiscing, now you

gotta kick me out like that,

- that's how we go?

- Nothing personal...

That's how we do it?

- We brothers?

- Let me have mine.

All right, okay,

see, now my face leaking.

You see this, you see this?

Now... now... now all

my stuff is coming loose.

I'm gonna go grab

some tissue.

You be good, all right?

You're a hot mess,

you're a hot mess.

I'm gonna get some tissue, man.

(weeping)

Oh, whoo, these emotions.

Whoo, all right, I gotta...

get it together, man,

get it together, get it tog...

Look... what do we

have here?

Antidepressants?

Oh, come on, Elston,

you can't go out like that.

- Where he at?!

- (door slamming)

Well, hello, Raven.

I know that

fool up in here.

I ain't worried about

you, boy.

Where the hell is he at?

Elston:
I don't know if

I wanna tell you.

You know what, I told that fool

to be home when I get home.

You know, if I step in that

door and he's not there,

well, let's just say,

he's humping for a thumping.

Itching for a whipping.

Jarvis, my candy jar!

Where the hell you at?

Lord, Lord, Father...

please, please save me from this

crazy, crazy, crazy woman.

Please, I know you

created her but she is...

Don't make me miss

"Housewives."

Baby, sweetheart, dumpling,

honey pie, sugarfoot.

Um, funny thing

had happened.

I stayed late at the cantina

because I had a bad burrito

and I was stuck in the bathroom.

Yeah, stuck in the bathroom.

So, uh, you don't have to be mad,

okay, don't harm me.

Un-uh.

I eat them burritos

all the time.

They ain't never did nothing to me.

Well, there was that

one time, but...

It was too many damn

people on that bus anyway.

You cleaned out the entire bus station,

Raven, come on.

Boy, shut your mouth.

Look here.

I am going to the store

for a few things.

You better be outside

when I get back.

And I mean at attention.

Jarvis,

I ain't got all night.

- Can you pick me up something...

- Hell no.

- (door closing)

- (sighing)

You can

come out now, bro.

You sure?

Yeah, it's safe, come out.

- You sure she gone?

- Man, put the vase down.

Man, I'm telling you, man, I can't deal

with this messy violent stuff.

I'm telling you, man,

I'm a man, dude.
