The Brothers Page #3

Yes, right after I tell her

that it don't cause cancer.

Nasty little thing!

Suck my dick, suck my dick,

suck my dick.

It's good for your skin!

You've known me for a while,

and all of a sudden, you ask me out.

What took you so long?

Well, you could say I went looking

for love in all the wrong damn places.

Listen...

- Jesse.

- Jesse, right.

Right. Right. I got some work

to do, baby. So...

Sure, I can go.

I have an early class tomorrow.

Right. What is it you teach?

Self-defence classes. Karate.

Karate. Right, yeah.

I remember. I remember.

Brian, I know this was

spur-of-the-moment...

...but if you ever want to hook up

again, just call me.

Hey, hey, hold up, hold up,

hold up. Stay, relax.

- You know, just relax.

- Okay.

I have this amazing bottle of wine.

Would you like some?

- Sure. Where is it?

- In the kitchen. Let me get...

Oh, no, I got it.

Can you make me a sandwich

while you in there?

Okay.

"Okay." That's what

I'm talking about.

You know, Denise,

I hope you don't feel nervous...

...about us, you know, doing

it like this on the first date.

Why would I be nervous?

I picked you up and I got you

into bed like this.

- Women tend to feel self-conscious.

- Really?

Oh, okay. How about this?

I picked you up and got you in bed.

That would make you

a slut puppy, wouldn't it?

I like that, but you can't

call a man a slut.

- And why is that?

- It's redundant.

The only reason why

I brought that up is...

...because I kind of have this issue.

What's that?

Well, it's like...

You know, it's...

Forget I even brought that up.

Jackson, you okay?

I can't talk about this.

Do you know why I became

a photographer?

You get to capture

all of life's moments...

...all of the turning points

and freeze them.

Well, think of us as a picture.

If you tell me your problem, we'd

be making a turning point together.

- You crazy, you know?

- Yeah, everybody says that.

But I like it. I like that.

Okay, it's like this:

Once I meet a woman, right?

And I get to know her a little bit

and we become intimate.

When I get into the relationship and

we start talking about commitment...

...I just freeze up.

The only way I know how

to save myself is to...

...cut the woman out of my life.

Damn. Well, I see

how that's a problem.

But we all have problems, Jackson.

If life were simple, we'd all

be doing something else.

So wait, you're not just gonna get

your clothes on and run out of here?

No, no.

There's a lot of interesting things

I could do with a man like you.

I thought you were crazy before,

but I know you're crazy now.

I'm just a sucker for a naked man.

- When do you start, Cherie?

- June.

I gotta find a place to live.

Oh, I envy you. There are

so many fine men in college.

- Excuse me?

- Not that I care, at all.

Public intimacy?

I've never seen him like this.

Girl, you must have kryptonite

in your pu...

Possession.

Hey, my beautiful children.

How you doing, sweetie?

- Where's the rest of your outfit?

- You would be talking to?

To you.

You shouldn't dress like that.

How very Freudian of you.

Now I know I look good.

- You look fine, Ms. Smith.

- Thank you, baby.

Yes, you do, Mother.

- I was only 18 when I had Jackson.

- Not this story.

I was nothing but a baby myself.

It took me 10 months and 20 hours

of labour.

He's been nothing but trouble...

Trouble ever since.

Yes, for the 100th time, we know.

It's not about me.

Cherie's starting school.

Did you have your female

conversation about men?

Oops! I'll do it right now. Sorry.

Come here, baby.

Cherie, a man only needs three things.

Well, two of them's money.

That's cute. That's cute.

Denise, you're nicer than the

other women Jackson usually dates.

Mama, please.

Don't fight the truth.

It'll make you grow old fast.

Not that I would know.

I know not to argue with women...

...so I'll go. You guys can talk

about me behind my back.

Ain't nobody talking about you.

We're talking about me.

Damn. Come on, y'all.

Can you believe Jack, Mama?

Asking you to tell me about men

as if there's a secret.

- Well, there is.

- Really?

And I know what it is.

Wait, wait, not that I need to know

or anything, but what is it?

Well, it's really very simple.

There's one sure way to tell

if a man really loves you.

Come here.

When it's late and you're all

hugged up on the sofa...

...and you're eating food

and watching TV...

...and you're just, you're just

all over each other.

Well, if he will give you

his last piece of food...

...the very last bite...

...baby, that's love.

I like that. I like that.

Me too. It's got sacrifice,

protection, the sensuality of eating.

- I learned that in psych class.

- Well, I learned it the hard way.

Look what the wind blew in.

- Congratulations, baby.

- Thank you, Daddy.

And this is my girl, Denise.

Hi, Denise. Fred Smith.

Glad to meet you.

- Where've you been?

- I'm sorry, baby.

I was busy. I had to make

a few stops before I got here.

You look good, Fred.

Almost as good as me.

Maybe I'll clear the dance floor

and teach you something.

Well, I'll be around.

Everybody, this is my date, Ursula.

Ursula don't speak no English.

Now, we got to do something

about our weak-ass immigration laws.

I need another drink. Excuse me.

So you don't speak no English?

So "stank ho" wouldn't

mean nothing to you?

No, not "stanque hou," "stank ho."

Dead ho. Ignorant ho.

French ho.

Have a good time. Enjoy yourself.

Bringing that b*tch up in here.

- This ain't my car.

- Look at it. Look at it!

This is my man's car.

I'm watching it.

Tyrel said you kicked his boys

out, Ma. Why?

I did what I had to do.

He had them fools in my house

drinking and smoking.

And you know that ain't right.

See what I mean? Issues.

Brian, my boys want to steal

your car. I can hook it up.

No insurance scams, T-Boy.

Get out of here!

Don't shoot the messenger.

Tyrel, I want you to tell your

friends that this house is off limits.

- Let's talk about this.

- Ain't nothing to talk about.

That boy is 17 years old.

He had some women

in this house having sex.

Ma, I told you.

We weren't having sex.

We was just watching TV.

- I guess it was raining condoms.

- What condoms?

Maybe two squirrels

was freaking with it.

- Yo, Brian.

- What, motherf***er?!

They gonna give you 40 percent.

Get out of here, man. Can't you see...

I'm sensing some hesitation

on your part. I'll go for 50-50.

- I don't like him outside my house.

- He's watching my car, Mama.

She don't like nobody here except

for them old ladies from church...

...who be coming here smelling

like old cheese and garbage.

Oh, no, you did not say that.

He did not say that. I'm...

Tyrel, just go outside.

Just go outside, all right?

Watch my car.

- It's good to see you.

- I don't know how good it is.

- What do you think we should do?

- Nothing.

We won't do anything.

He doesn't have one picture of you.

It's too late for regrets.

You and I can't change
