Strictly Business Page #3

...I'm afraid everything's gonna go

out of whack.

What are you talking about?

Well.

Way...

...I was figuring

that if we're engaged by Christmas...

...then we can find the most perfect

condo in the winter...

...which is the best time to shop.

And then be married by summer.

Married by summer?

Oh, honey, it's the only possible time

for me to vacation.

Look, we've only been back together

for two weeks.

I mean, don't you think

that this is just a little premature?

I think you better

get with the program, mister...

...or lose the best woman you ever had.

Diedre, wait.

Diedre, wait.

Diedre.

Well, Millicent, you go to bed

with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

And believe me, I am scratching.

Well, you cannot say

I didn't tell you so.

No, I guess I can't, Diedre.

I knew he was wrong for you

the first time I met him.

Oh, God. Sometimes I think

I'm just better off alone.

Karen, how can you say that?

Look at Waymon and me.

Our relationship is great.

When you choose a man

with your head...

...and not your heart,

you make a smarter choice.

So I may not be in love

with Waymon...

...but I know we make

a damn good team.

What about romance, passion,

sex till you can't stand up straight.

I need that.

You got that and where'd that get you?

A broken heart, a sore back,

a yeast infection.

And a stack of bills.

Speaking of sore backs.

I sure hope there's gonna be men

at this party.

Don't worry. Diedre has it covered.

Waymon is inviting some eligibles

from work.

Oh, God. I can imagine.

Excuse me?

Beggars can't be choosers.

Check, please.

Darryl, did Johnson get back

from lunch yet?

You hear me talking to you, boy?

I'm working through lunch

if you don't mind.

Working through lunch?

Man, what you looking at?

You must be on something.

Or coming off it.

I ain't on nothing and you know it.

Oh, you're on something all right.

Must be some powerful sh*t too.

- What I tell you?

- You got it, man.

Yo, yo.

- Hey.

- Well?

- Well, what?

- Well, what? Natalie.

- Don't worry about it.

- You in there.

- In where?

Forget about it. Meet me at

the Kilimanjaro tonight, midnight.

Midnight? Are you crazy?

I can't meet you at midnight.

I've gotta work tomorrow.

And so do you.

If you stay up past 9:00 one night,

it's not gonna kill you.

That may be true,

but I can't meet you tonight anyway.

- I've gotta meet Diedre.

- Man, you going out like that?

No, as a matter of fact,

we're staying in.

That's not what I meant, man.

Look, if you're there, you're there.

If you're not,

hey, I did my part, right?

Okay. Now, look...

Hey, Bobby. What's up?

- What's up, G-Man?

Gary...

...let's go.

What'd you wanna speak to me about?

I wanted to let you know

I think you're doing an excellent job.

Better than I could've hoped for.

Thanks. Thanks, Mr. Barnes.

But I wanna make sure

you go the distance.

The distance?

Let me be more specific.

Gary, my future is your future.

Where I go, you go.

When I am a partner in the most

powerful real-estate firm in New York...

...we're gonna own this town.

That is, if you're willing to do

what it takes.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm willing to do anything.

- I'm a team player.

- Good. Good.

I'm glad to hear that, Gary.

Driver, stop the car.

Gary.

Gary, get home safe, okay?

All right. Okay, a little to the left.

- A little to the left.

Sorry.

Oh, good. All right. Now, grab it.

Grab it. Harder.

Oh, good.

All right. Don't stop.

I said, don't stop.

Good. All right. I'm there. I'm there.

I'm there.

Oh! Yes!

Ahh. Ah.

Could you get off me, please?

- Ow. Careful.

- Sorry.

For the thing.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Excuse me, please.

Excuse me. Good evening.

Good evening.

Hi, ladies. How are you?

Come on in.

Have a good time tonight.

How are you doing, man?

You can forget it.

- Bobby.

- Hey, hey. What's up?

- All right.

- How are you doing, big man?

- What's up? You ready for this?

- Come on in.

- I'm with him.

- Sure.

- Hey, Bobby?

- Oh, he's with me.

Sorry, man. Come on in.

Hey. Hey.

What was that guy's problem?

Hey, man, if you're in, you're in.

If you're not, you're not. Simple as that.

You're saying I'm not in?

Look, don't you own

any fly gear at all, man?

If you mean trendy clothes, no.

They're a waste of money.

Look, if you wanna get next to Natalie,

who is definitely high-level...

...you're gonna have to spend

some big bucks, man.

This happens to be

a Brooks Brothers suit.

Yeah. I suggest

you write that sh*t on the front.

Because it looks like

any old tired-ass gray suit to me.

What's up

with the Frankenstein shoes?

- That shows how much you know.

- Hey, hey.

That's all I'm trying to say.

- Look, where is she?

- Look, man, she's here, all right?

Try to have a little fun.

If you know how.

Well, maybe she's not here tonight.

I should go home

and get some work done.

Look, the girl gives the parties here,

all right?

Her job is to be here.

She's gonna be here.

Why don't you just give that work sh*t

a rest, all right? And just chill.

Yo, what you need?

Yeah, yeah, give me

a Hennessey and Coke.

And for my boy...

Waymon, what you want?

Club soda, please, with lime.

Man, what's up

with the club soda?

It's late. I don't handle

hard liquor too well late at night.

That sounds like some sh*t

you need to keep to yourself.

You don't want people thinking

you're soft.

Yo. I see skin. I'll be back.

What? You see what?

- So, what's your name, baby?

- Davika.

- That's not your club name, huh?

- No. Do you have a club name?

No, I ain't got no club name.

My name is straight-up Bobby.

Would you like to dance?

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Please.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

You with the corny suit on.

Yeah. You just knocked over my drinks.

You gotta pay for it.

Mr. Tinsdale knew

you were coming by this morning.

I can't imagine what happened to him.

Let me check his office

for the financial projections.

You can look them over while you wait.

He'll be in shortly.

I certainly hope so.

Waymon?

Mr. Tinsdale.

- What time is it?

- Ten-fifteen.

You had at 10 a. m. with Mr. Atwell.

Oh, damn.

You what?

I called Mr. Kagawa and let them know

that they'll have it by Friday.

We should have discussed this.

I apologize. It just turned out to be

more work than I anticipated.

You do realize how important

this deal is to both of us?

- Yes, sir, I'm aware of that.

- You better be.

Uh, Mr. Atwell, sir? Mr. Atwell.

Mr. Atwell, please.

This is not a problem. Believe me

when I tell you that I am on top of this...

- I hope you haven't blown it.

- We'll speak later.

Damn.

Excuse me one second.

Hey, Waymon, wait up.

Waymon. Waymon, what's wrong?

You look awful.

I'm fine.

Come on, this is me you're talking to.

I know there's something wrong.

The Savoy Tower projections.

I just never thought it would be

this much work.

Well, why don't you let me help?
