Guess Who Page #4

about schedule, but I know Theresa is...

Stay out of that storm.

All right. You can stay in my basement.

But you remember one thing.

These eyes, they see everything.

Now get in the car. Come on, let's go.

Ebony, ivory

living in perfect harmony

Ivory, ebony

So, how long have you two been together?

- Five months.

- Six months.

Which one is it?

Well, see, Theresa counts

from the first day that we met.

And I count from the first...

- How's the chicken here?

- It's really good.

Did I tell you two girls...

that for the first dance,

your father and I are gonna do the tango?

- The tango?

- You and Dad?

You know what? Your father and I used to

dance all the time when we were younger.

Sweetheart, I told you

we're not doing a tango.

We're already saying our vows.

That's enough.

We're doing the tango.

Sorry. I forgot to turn it off.

Know what? This is an important call.

I'm just gonna...

No, you can take your call here.

Sit down and take your call.

It's a business call. It's boring stuff.

Business is not boring.

Simon, sit down and take your call.

Sit down.

- Hello.

- Simon?

- Yeah, this is Simon.

- Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier.

I hope Theresa makes good money

as a photographer.

Someone started a rumor

that you're being investigated...

by the Securities

and Exchange Commission.

That is so Nathan to do something like that.

I think it's Nathan, too...

'cause this is the last thing he wants to see,

is his best employee going to another firm.

You know me.

- I'm always up for a new challenge.

- Are you listening to me?

- You've been blackballed.

- Great!

Guy, it's not my fault.

I'm just telling you what they told me.

I'll call you next week.

Did Nathan put you up for another award?

Nothing. It's embarrassing.

- Hello. Can I start you off with some drinks?

- Vodka tonic.

Celebrating a great phone call.

Okay. Bring him his liquor,

and bring the rest of us our usual.

They have iced tea and I have my lemonade.

Actually, I think I'm gonna have

a glass of Pinot Grigio.

- And I'll have a Cosmo.

- Me, too.

Okay. Bring them their alcohol

and I'll have my usual lemonade.

Someone has to act responsibly

around here.

So, Simon, I hear that you're a singer.

What are you, a soprano, an alto, or...

No? Maybe bass?

I don't really sing.

How long can you hold a note?

He can hold a note.

- Really?

- For a very long time.

Sing something for me, baby.

Are you okay? Drink some water.

Jerry, Nathan's got my ankles

to my earlobes right now. I'm gonna need...

Jerry, Nathan's got my ankles

to my earlobes right now. I'm gonna need...

I'm gonna need some cash.

Call me back as soon as you get this.

I need a favor, okay?

You've got to be kidding me.

"Let me see your sexy body go..."

I knew you'd be down here sooner or later.

Did you bring some of that

sexy lingerie for me to try?

What is wrong with you, boy?

Don't you have your own underwear?

You like my space?

Yeah. It's very homey. Interesting odor.

I told you it had mold.

Did you come down here for this?

Having a little trouble writing your vows?

That's none of your damn business.

I'm just saying, I could maybe help you

come up with something romantic.

Don't start thinking that you know more

about romance than I do.

With your hand-holding

and feeding each other food...

and wiping off each other's faces.

That's bullshit.

Being married 25 years, that's real romance.

And believe me, it's a war.

Brutal. Exhausting.

Sounds like someone

just finished their vows.

- Ready for lights out?

- Looks that way.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- What are you doing?

- Getting ready to go to sleep.

- Here? You're sleeping here?

- Right here.

- Don't you have a bed upstairs?

- Sure do. So does Theresa.

By me sleeping here assures me

that she'll get a good night's sleep...

all alone. Good night.

Sorry.

- What are you doing under there?

- It's just a pillow.

- We might need a barrier.

- A barrier for what?

I tend to move around a lot in my sleep.

How do you know you move around

if you're asleep?

Theresa mentioned once that...

I mentioned it to her...

after someone else told me...

that wasn't Theresa.

Okay. We can talk about this, right?

Theresa and I have a...

- No, you can't talk about it.

...healthy relationship...

- Stop!

- We can't talk about this?

I don't wanna hear you talking

about sleeping with my daughter.

You're sleeping with me now.

Now, good night!

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

You're up early.

Or late, depending on how you look at it.

- Coffee?

- Yes. Bless you.

I don't know how you sleep with that man.

- Did he get in your space?

- A little bit.

Did he spoon you?

It was more of a wedge maneuver.

Big man likes to cuddle in his sleep.

I just wish he were a little bit more cuddly

when he was awake.

You know, when my father first met

Percy Jones, he could not stand him.

Really?

But eventually they got along, right?

No.

- Good morning!

- Good morning.

Good morning, babe.

- I missed you.

- I missed you.

- Did you sleep well?

- Yeah.

- Who's going with me to get some flowers?

- I'll go.

Me, too, if we go early,

because I have to work this afternoon.

Good morning!

You're looking awfully chipper this morning.

Something about knowing your daughter's

not being violated relaxes a man.

I thought you said

that mattress hurts your back.

No, not me.

I could sleep on that mattress every night.

Every single night.

Good morning, boss. Got you some coffee.

- So, what's the verdict?

- What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Theresa's new boyfriend.

What is he, a painter? Poet?

Did he ask you to borrow some money?

My daughter's got great taste in men.

That new guy, he's really something.

- Tell me a little bit about the brother.

- Oh, man, thank you.

I'll tell you about the brother.

He's a big guy. Nice looking.

- What's his name?

- Jamal.

- Graduated Howard University.

- Howard?

Played basketball.

He almost went pro.

Till he changed his career to medicine.

There was a big write-up on him in Jet

four years ago.

No sh*t.

Parents from Atlanta.

Friends with Mrs. King,

Dr. Cosby, Rev. Jackson.

Come on now.

- Go down towards the middle.

- Go down? Sit up a little bit.

- That's it?

- Man, yeah.

I'm telling you, Reggie.

I'm the luckiest man in Jersey.

My daughter's dating the great black hope.

- You got it.

- That's it.

- Hold it right there.

- I'm not gonna move.

Excuse me? Boss?

Simon Green here to see you.

Lifting, you know.

Cut that off, Reggie. Go on, take it out.

Come on, Reggie.

Get on the ball around the...

I'll be right there.

I'll be right out. Give me... Sign something.

- Fred, who is Simon?

- A friend of Theresa's, he says.

Oh, sh*t.

He better hope Jamal don't find out.

- Be right with you, sir.

- Great.

- Jerry? Hey.

- Simon, what's up?

Listen. I need you to get me into that

nanotech IPO. I want 10 blocks.
