Men, Money & Gold Diggers Page #7

- Lionel?

- You work here?

- This dude.

Another little

something-something

I do on the side.

Brother got bills, you know?

And here's a special

drink for a special lady.

- Oh, thank you... this is him.

Hello?

- Hey, baby.

- Baby?

Good, how are you... I'm here

with Paisley having coffee.

What you doing?

Why?

I don't want to talk

in person, I'm busy, babe.

What's going on...

You can tell me.

Tell me now.

Oh...

Are you sure?

Listen, you don't know me and

I don't really know you

so until you get your facts

straight, don't call me again.

Thank you.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

Let's go.

Paisley, let's go.

We're not going anywhere

until you talk to me.

What, did he turn out

to be a dog or something?

What's wrong...

What's wrong, huh?

You need me to get

somebody for you?

What's the matter, Trina?

The matter is that ya'll keep

asking me what's the matter.

Let's go...

I'm fine.

I'm good.

I'm Trina James, I'm perfect.

Right?

Yes, yes.

- You are as perfect as...

- You know what?

I'm fine.

Let's go.

Just forget it.

It's going to be okay, Trina.

All right?

What's wrong?

He found a lump, Paisley.

In the middle of me making

him feel like a man,

he made me feel

like less than a woman.

What am I gonna do, girl?

Trina, listen to me.

You have to believe that

you're going to get better.

The power of life and death

is in the tongue.

You have to say it

and you have to believe it.

You have friends who care

about you and love you.

I'm just keeping it real.

Oh, really?

That's what my wife said

and now she's gone

because she was

so-called keeping it real.

Your wife passed away

of cancer?

Five years ago.

And I took care of

her every step of the way

and I can take care of you.

You can't help me, Lionel.

- Yes I can!

- How?

Clean more sinks?

Wait more tables?

Yes, yes.

Wash more cars, cut more

grass, get five more jobs.

I'm gonna do whatever it takes.

That's sweet, Lionel, but

you are not Prince Charming

and this is not a fairy tale,

so I'd really appreciate it

if you'd stop acting like it.

I have cancer...

I'm gonna die.

No, but, no...

You don't know that!

So what are gonna do, huh?

I'm gonna live.

I'm gonna live like

there's no tomorrow

'cause there just might not be.

- Trina, that's not the answer.

- Trina, wait.

Please let me do it.

Trina!

Trina!

Hello.

My answer's yes.

Yes, let's do it.

Do what?

Get married.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

We will.

Okay, well, we

can do it tomorrow.

I've been putting things

in perspective

and I don't want to wait any...

Slow down, slow down.

These things need to

be planned out.

We don't need a

big wedding, Bobby.

I've already got the ring,

what are we waiting for?

Exactly, right.

So what's the rush?

Why can't we

just jump into this?

You ever hear the saying

''Look before you leap?''

What?

Since we last spent time,

I had to make some,

some big decisions.

What are you

talking about, Bobby?

I'm talking about my wife.

Your wife?

Who the hell is she?

Doesn't matter.

What matters is I was hurt

and you wouldn't take my calls.

I had to be with somebody.

How can you ask me to marry you

when you're already married?

When were you

going to tell me that?

When I got divorced.

Which is when?

I don't know.

You don't know?

It's complicated.

I mean, look, this whole

thing has been like a whirlwind.

A whirlwind?

What world were you in

when you were in bed with me?

Wasn't a whirlwind when you

destroyed my relationship.

You weren't in love with him.

You don't know that!

You might have appreciated

the benefits...

the house,

the cars, the clothes.

That's not why I was with him.

Then why didn't you stay?

I thought what we had

was real, Bobby.

You were my first love.

But how could you

do this to me?

- Paisley.

- No, I chose you.

I chose you.

You mean everything to me.

I could have loved Caleb more.

I could have

given him more of me,

but you're still in my heart.

All right, all right.

Let me make it right, okay?

Every time I'm with her,

I'm thinking about you.

Then leave her.

It's not the thing

to do right now.

And cheating is?

I told her about us, okay?

About the Porsche, the house

in the hills, the furniture,

the fact that we're

going to get married.

Bobby, why would you

tell her all of that?

I didn't know I was

telling her.

I must have been

talking in my sleep.

You know, or dreaming.

I think about you 24/7.

She threatened to

take half if I leave her.

Nah.

You can still leave.

And have her take half?

I don't think so.

If I'd had her sign

a damn prenup,

I wouldn't be

having these problems.

Look.

I got my lawyers working on it.

They'll let me know

what my options are.

Okay, so what am I supposed

to do while your lawyers

are working on your options?

Bobby that could take years.

I know.

And I'm going

to take care of you.

You expect me to

spend Christmas

and holidays all by myself?

You want me to sneak

around with you

so that I can lay with you

so you can hold me at night?

I don't want to be some

bitter old person

that's pissed that she

gave her milk away for free.

I may be married to her, but

my heart is always with you.

You know what... I would

have been better off with Caleb

'cause at least I wouldn't have

been getting half a man.

I don't believe this.

- Baby.

- No.

Bed your wife

because I am done.

We're over.

Where's Dedra?

Dropping the single off

at the radio station.

You know she's

leaving tomorrow.

Yeah.

So?

So what?

So... you know, you're a

genius when it comes to money

and an idiot when

it comes to love.

She's there for

the taking, man.

Who, Dedra?

Yeah... I mean,

she's not thick

the way I like them,

but she ain't bad on

the eyes either.

No, it's not that, man.

I like her just the way

she is, but you know,

we've been

hanging out a lot lately

and to tell you the truth,

she touches me.

She does?

On the inside, Damon.

Oh, okay, just asking.

Just saying, don't leave

a brother out.

- You need therapy.

- I just might.

Hey...

Hey, guys.

Okay, I dropped the song off

at the radio station.

I talked to

the program directors

so I guess all we can do

is just wait and see.

Might as well get started.

There's a radio in

the back, right?

Why are you looking

at me like that?

So are you...

really going to London?

There's nothing left for me

to stick around for.

What are you talking about?

There's me.

Why do you want me to stay?

To, um, take your calls?

To schedule your appointments?

No... No.

Okay, well, then why, Caleb?

Why should I stay?

- Dedra...

- You know what, wait.

Caleb.

Now...

I might not be the trophy girl

and I might not be the

cover girl supermodel

that you are looking for,

but I'm beautiful just

the way that I am.

Hey, hey.

They just played our song

on the radio, baby!

Got to be kidding.

Already...

Why didn't you call us?

I was so excited I

couldn't believe it.

I gotta call Sway.
