Jumping the Broom Page #8

---

Now you gonna have some fun.

Ladies, please! Ladies!

Not... Not you.

I'd hate to be you in a hour.

Sebastian,

I got this all under control.

Sabrina!

Sabrina!

-God, you taste good.

-So do you.

You wanna taste something good?

It's sweet, but there's a little spice

in it as well.

Sort of like you.

It's good, right?

Burning.

Burning.

Burning, yeah.

No, no, no, it's burning, it's burning.

My sauce.

Oh, my God!

What the...

Is everybody okay?

I was just making some sauce.

My helper.

Listen, everything's under control.

The alarm should go off in a minute.

This in no way impedes my ability

to do my job.

I want you to know that.

So, as you were.

Babe.

Sabrina. Sabrina.

I mean, I know you ain't

got your private parts out

around all this good food, do you?

And second of all,

do you have any kind of relationship

with some Vaseline lotion or anything?

Your knees look like you been praying

in some chicken flour.

Sabrina, please, just let me...

Sabrina, let me in.

Come on, open up, Sabrina.

I just wanna talk to you.

Okay, fine, I'll wait

all night, if I have to.

I love you, too.

Jason? Are we getting married too fast?

You're not having second thoughts,

are you, babe?

No, I'm just... I'm asking.

Did we rush into this because of China?

Baby, open the door.

I wanna look at you.

I can't. You're not supposed

to see the bride before the wedding.

Right.

No, babe,

we're not rushing into anything.

I knew from the first day we went out

that I'd spend the rest

of my life with you.

You're my heart, Sabrina.

You're my heart, too.

-Jason, let's not do this again, okay?

-All right.

Let's not let other people get in

between the two of us.

Pinky swear?

Pinky swear.

Sabrina, get up!

I'm awake.

-Morning.

-Morning.

I wanted to give you this

before everything gets hectic today.

What's this?

This was Grand-Mre's.

And her Grand-Mre's.

Something old. It's lovely, Mom.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you for everything.

Sweetheart, we love Jason.

But are you sure about this?

How can you ask me that?

Are you trying to ruin my wedding day?

No.

I've never stood in the way

of your dreams,

but what kind of mother would I be

if I didn't ask?

Sabrina, marriage is serious.

It's for life. Are you ready?

Yes.

Are you and Dad getting a divorce?

Now, why would you ask me that?

"Go play with your whore over there."

I was wrong.

Your father's not having an affair.

Mom, I see the way

you guys treat each other.

You don't look at each other anymore

when you talk.

-You don't even touch each other.

-We're not getting a divorce.

The vows say for better or for worse,

and even though we're pretty close,

we're not at our worse.

No matter what, I'm still committed

to your father and I still love him.

-No matter what happens?

-No matter what.

I want that with Jason, Mom.

I want that for you, too.

I'll tell you something that Mabel

told me the day I got married.

Life is like a disco.

No matter how the music changes,

you just keep dancing.

That sounds like Mabel.

Mom.

I can't lie to you. I'm nervous.

Sweetheart.

This is gonna be a great day, right?

It is.

Jason, you know I love you

and I want the best for you.

I know, Mama, I know.

Well, what is done in the dark

must come to light.

Mama, Mama, listen. What's wrong?

You should be happy.

You're one step closer

to getting those grandkids

you've been wanting.

Jason, I need to tell you something

and I feel that now is the...

Good morning, Pam.

-Jason, you ready?

-I'm ready, I'm ready.

Mama, smile. Okay?

-Smile. Hold that thought!

-Jason, I need to talk to you!

Yes, yes, yes,

I want some of that, that.

Excuse me.

Wait, why do you keep leaving?

'Cause I'm not trying to go to prison.

I see you got jokes.

Boy, do you know I could snap your

little butt

in two with all these curves?

You promise?

Okay, so now you got jokes.

Look, I may have the body

of a 20-year-old,

but I have the heart, the mind,

and the soul of a grown man.

That doesn't change the date

on your birth certificate.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.

Help me, Jesus.

That boy is fine.

If there is any Geneva drama today,

I will unleash a world of hurt.

What a surprise. You speak French?

That's Spanish.

Fool.

I'm not a fool.

And I'm not a scientist.

But I do know some things.

What are you doing way over there?

Hey.

Don't you look sweet enough to eat.

Wait.

I'm sorry.

I thought you wanted this.

I did. I did.

Well, I thought I did. I don't know.

Maybe it's because my best friend

is getting married today, and I'm not.

You know, it's...

You're not the kind of guy I'm used to.

What are you still doing here?

I don't know.

But I need to know.

What do you think of me?

What do I think of you?

You're like a pomegranate.

Like a piece of fruit?

You have this hard, protective shell.

You know, the jewelry, the clothes.

The sharp tongue.

But underneath that shell,

you're real sweet. A real beauty inside.

You see all that?

Yes, I do.

I'd love to tell you more.

But first,

I have a date with some chicken.

-Yeah.

-See you later?

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

So, you went crawling back

like a little girl.

Is that what you did?

You had to go back for that money?

Mr. Watson with the ball,

quarterbacking.

He's got a half-gray,

half-black Jheri curl.

A-one.

Maybe you should get

two wedding dresses made.

Two girls getting married.

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Throw the ball, baby!

What the...

-Hey, man!

-What the hell was that?

It's touch football, pretty boy.

-You call that touch?

-Yeah, I touched you, didn't I?

Come on, Malcolm, take off that halter

top so we can see your belly ring!

Looking like America's Next Top Model!

Roses right this way.

Thank you again for doing this

at the 11th hour, Reverend James.

It means the world to us.

Yes. See you then.

Thank you.

Anything I can do?

Mrs. Watson,

we have a problem in the kitchen.

Yes. Stay out of my way.

Really.

It looks beautiful.

Thank you so much for wearing the dress.

Here, this is for the wedding.

I hope you like gardenias.

Of course, you don't have to wear it

if you don't want to.

Listen, Mrs. Taylor, I really want to

apologize about last night.

Nobody meant any harm and...

Well, it's your wedding.

It's stressful and I understand.

Thank you.

And I know you want us

to jump the broom,

but Jason and I

wanna start our own traditions,

so we're probably not gonna do it.

I'm out of pins.

I'll be right back. Do not move.

Thank you, Mabel. Looks lovely.

So nice to finally meet you

and your family.

Thank you. Well, I'm gonna go get ready

for the big day.

Your Aunt Geneva,

I really enjoyed her singing.

She's something else.

Well, that's my auntie.

Yeah, and your mother, she was

pretty upset about her doing that.

What do you mean?

Well, I saw them later,

last night, arguing.

It was pretty heated.

Well, I'm sure it was no big deal.

I mean, every family
