Well, l didn't like it.

lt's not like l was doing it for real.

l was just adding a little flavor.

Keep yourself looking this fine,

Excuse me?

Hey, Grant. Where are you at?

Your city needs you.

Sit down with your girls,

...and watch your man do his thing.

He's just being a man.

There isn't a single woman in here

that wouldn't kill to be with him.

-Don't make it easy on them.

-You know you don't deserve that.

lt's not that big of a deal.

Didn't l tell you to keep

your distance from my girl?

See, now, l thought you was just

-April, what are you doing?

-l'm just talking.

You don't have to let this dude

talk to you like that.

-Let's just drop it.

Somebody'll have to teach you
