Think Like A Man Page #11

---

and talking about our feelings

and our childhoods.

It's like the 1950s, man! I just want to hit.

And if she thinks I'm gonna wait

- she gonna be waiting by herself.

- You kept count?

I'm not counting, but you're gonna know

the amount of day...

You really like her.

No, bro, trust me on this. I am done, okay?

I'm ending it tonight.

Yeah, have fun on your date.

I bet you I dump her 90-day ass.

Hey.

Listen.

Mya, about tonight...

Okay, I have a surprise.

You do?

Yeah, I got us tickets to see

John Legend at Nokia Theatre.

Okay, that's cool.

Yeah.

- Okay.

- Okay. So, let's go.

So, I hope you don't get mad at me,

but my uncle is a music producer

and I passed him your CD.

You took my CD?

Yes. And the three pieces of gum

that were stuck to it.

Okay, you know what?

I was looking for that gum.

You know I'm done with

the music industry, right? I love what I do.

Okay, Zeke, he's not trying

to sign you, though.

He wants some new songs

for some albums that he's working on.

Yeah, well, my album went Plat-none, okay?

I mean, two people heard it

and both of them were relatives.

Okay, but I was raving about it,

and he decided to check it out.

You should've been my manager.

Zeke!

Super Freak Zeke! What up, baby?

- Man, hey, what's up... Xavier!

- What up, baby.

Oh, my goodness. Baby, this is Zeke.

This is the guy that taught me the move.

The Chimichanga!

He was the one who taught me.

Hey, this is my lady, Crystal.

Hey, what's going on, Crystal?

How you doing?

Oh, my bad. Xavier, this is...

Now ladies, if a man simply introduces you

as his friend,

then please understand,

you are nothing more than his friend.

See, if a man has a plan for you in his future,

then he's gonna profess it.

He's gonna attach a title to it.

You're gonna be his woman,

his lady, his fiance, or...

My girlfriend, Mya.

Zeke realized the man could get

a hell of a lot further,

with one well-placed profession

than with six carefully planned dates.

Oh, my God.

I think we should stop.

I have to get up early.

So, I better go.

Okay.

Good night!

Well, I could walk you to...

No, I got this. I'm good, good night!

The guys may have lost some battles,

but they were winning the war.

I'm telling you, Gina. It worked.

He's finally stepping up

and looking for a betterjob.

Family Feud knows what he's talking about?

Changing the game.

How does this affect the 90-Day Rule?

The 90-Day Rule is what got me to this point.

It's just, I was saying that

I'm not opposed to amending it,

you know, for good behavior.

Like changing his Facebook status?

Yeah, see, that's good behavior,

but the cookies don't come

out of the cookie jar

for anything less than the three magic words.

I hope you guys are ready

for some fun in the sun.

Oh, yeah, some fun in the sun.

Oh, wait. Baby, should you get that?

It's work.

Yeah, it's okay.

No! Why would I answer work calls

when I'm with y'all two?

- Don't worry about work.

- Yeah, no work.

- You okay back there, Duke?

- Yeah.

All right, now you got your license, too?

'Cause you're driving back, right?

I'm just joking.

Such a romantic.

Things were almost going too well.

The guys had forgotten that

they were even at war.

All right, thanks a lot, everybody.

Once again, I'm Danny Vola.

Go up there and sing.

Come on, you should go...

No. I ain't sang in years, you sit down.

Wait, slow down! Okay, Duke!

- All right, you got this.

- Be careful!

I'm about to get you a motorcycle now,

the way you're going, baby.

Oh, you want some?

Sorry that took so long, babe.

One of the guys needed a little of my advice.

Where were we?

Right here.

But then things started to backfire.

What ever happened

with that job at Neversoft?

I forgot to tell you, I heard through

the grapevine they filled the position.

Really?

Yeah.

That's weird,

'cause I heard from Sarah's little brother...

- Yeah?

- ...on Linkedln.

And he said that the position was still open.

- Really?

- Yeah.

And that he was gonna personally

recommend you to his boss.

Except your rsum's not on file.

What?

I've been waiting this whole time.

You know what?

I had to reset the modem the other day.

I bet you the email didn't go through.

Yeah, I'll fix it in the morning.

The Internet?

Yeah, it happens all the time.

Kris?

The truth was catching up to them.

I'll miss you.

That's me, all right. I'll see you.

Okay.

James?

- James Merrill?

- Lauren Harris.

Wow, look at you.

Look at you.

You are like a fine wine.

You just get better with age, don't you?

And you get smoother.

What are you doing in LA?

I'm checking out a sublet.

Yeah, I was just promoted CEO of Sensala.

- Wow.

- Yeah, yeah.

I'm relocating to LA.

- You're kidding?

- No.

Well, I can't imagine Nina

ever wanting to leave Chicago.

Yeah, well, that's because she's not.

We're finalizing our divorce.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- I'm sorry.

- No, no, it's all right.

- We're friendly.

- That's good.

But what about you?

I mean, are you engaged? Married?

No. Not married or engaged.

Really?

Just dating, but nothing serious.

Well then, why don't we go to dinner?

Sure.

Let's do it. I mean, let's do dinner.

Well, you have to call me.

- Got the same number?

- Same number.

- All right.

- Use it.

- Tomorrow night.

- Absolutely.

- Like the car.

- Me, too.

Love the body.

On the car.

- I hate to trouble you...

- Go away!

I saw this episode last night at Mom's.

This joint is hilarious.

Wait, I thought you got called back

into work last night.

Oh, yeah, last night

I got called back into work,

but remember, I told you

I had to stop by my mom's

to drop off the stuff that she had put at my...

I told you that, babe.

- No, no, I don't think you...

- Give me a kiss, baby. You don't be listening.

And the lies were starting to add up.

Listen, my mom's planning

a really big family reunion.

- I'd love it if you could come.

- Whatever you want, baby.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I mean, the only bad thing is if your mom

and grandma are as fine as you,

you might have some competition over there.

Come here.

Cool!

It's at the park, in Culver City.

There's gonna be a trampoline and barbecue.

These walls have ears.

Duke, please go back to bed.

So, it's gonna be the 20th

and it's gonna be so great.

We're gonna have these

cotton candy machines...

- The 20th of this month?

- Carousels...

Baby, I can't make the 20th.

Why?

Well, actually, I promised my mom.

It's her church anniversary, so I promised...

Really? You gotta be kidding me!

Good night, Duke!

Baby, I'm gonna see what I can do, all right?

- Okay.

- I'm gonna make it happen.

Come here, girl, come here.

Turns out, the only problem

in pretending to step up is,

well, sometimes, you actually have to.

Yo, watch this right here.

Hold it, this is about to jump...

Okay, what?

Okay, okay, okay.

I wanted to wait until we had proper drinks,

but I talked to my uncle last night,

and he listened to your CD, and he loved it.
