Why you gotta be like that?

You went from Jermaine to Bobby.

Why you gotta be like that?

I'm just saying.

You sure know how to pick 'em.

What? Relax. Relax, man.

It ain't like we getting

married or something like that.

[WHITNEY HOUSTON'S "FAR ENOUGH"

PLAYING ON RADIO]

What is it?

Hold up, girl.

Hold up. Hey. Hey.

Hold up, hold up, hold on.

What?

What? What are you doing?

Marry me.

Well?

Oh, my God, Bobby.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah?

Take a look.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Baby, it's so beautiful.

Thank you, baby.

Let me see.

Hey? Hey?

What?

Can I trust you?

Can you trust me?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course you can.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Will you tell me everything?

Everything.

You want that?

Yeah.

You got it. Absolutely.

It's just, uh...

It's just one thing.

Kim is pregnant.

Besides that, we cool.

Just wanted to let you know

that so we-- We're good. Right?

Honesty all the way.

Man, I love you so much, baby.

I knew you'd understand.

Yeah. Hoo.

[SIGHS]

That's a f*cking load off.

I've been holding on to that

for months now.

The hell you just say?

I just had to be honest

with you.

You messing with me.

I had to tell you

that one thing.

You messing with me. Bobby,

Besides that, we're cool.

Kim?

Yes, Kim.

Kim is pregnant?

Yes.

Look, it was alcohol.

Lots of it.

It kind of just happened,

baby.

No. Stop the car.

Stop the car!

Hey, driver, don't stop the car.

That's bullshit.

Hey. Stay right here.

Bullshit.

That's bullshit.

Whitney!

Whitney!

Hey! Stop!

Whitney!

Will you stop?

And this happened after we

started seeing each other?

No, it was in

the transition phase, baby.

Look, I was over her.

Not so finished you weren't

still banging her, you mean.

Hey, look.

[HONKING]

We're walking here! We're walk--

Idiot!

Baby! Baby!

So let me get this straight,

Bobby Brown.

You ask me to marry you,

wait till I say yes,

and tell me

your g*dd*mn ex-girlfriend

is g*dd*mn pregnant?

Hey, look, I love you.

All right?

I wanna spend

the rest of my life with you.

No one else.

I didn't know that then,

but I do now.

See, me and you,

we from the same place.

We from the 'hood.

Yeah, I know you.

You don't, for one second,

gotta be Whitney Houston

around me.

Not for a second.

[SCOFFS]

Hey, look, look.

It's us...

FAN:
Whitney!

...against the world, baby.

[]

So, are we doing this, or what?

Man.

Hey, good.

You had me worried there

for a sec, Nip.

Hm.

I had you worried?

Yeah.

Hey! Bring the car around!

Hey, yo, yeah!

Bring that car around, homey.

Shut up, Bobby!

What?

[LIQUID POURING]

[DOOR OPENS]

ROBYN:

Hey, Nip.

I got some news.

BOBBY:

So do we.

You're right on time.

Word? What's going on?

BOBBY:

Check it out.

Congratulations.

BOBBY:

Yeah.

WHITNEY:

Thank you, girl.

Bobby.

Hey, thanks, Robyn.

Appreciate that.

Mm-hm.

BOBBY:

So, what brings you

all the way over here?

You said you had some news,

right?

What is it?

Oh.

You ready?

WHITNEY:
Uh-huh.

They want you to sing

the national anthem...

...at the Super Bowl.

Wait. Hold up.

BOBBY:
Like, the--

WHITNEY:
What, like--

Super Bowl, Super Bowl?

Super Bowl, Super Bowl?

PILOT:

Captain, we are airborne.

Twenty-six thousand to push

point. How are we looking?

...coordinates 3016

for uncorrected

Super Bowl elevation

of 35 meters.

COMMENTATOR:

Almost ready then

for Super Bowl XXV,

where the Giants get ready

to take on the Buffalo Bills

for the ultimate prize

in football.

No.

Slower, Rickey. Please.

What?

It's the national anthem.

I think the NFL's

gonna want it fast.

I want it slow.

Just do it.

I have a range of different

looks here to choose from.

Nuh-uh. No dresses.

[CHUCKLES] Okay.

Girl, this is the Super Bowl.

Can't I just be me for once?

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

[PRESS CLAMORING]

Two and three should widen out.

Let's pull back.

Oh, yeah!

Where she from?

Yeah, yeah. New Jersey.

So, Whitney was number one

on the Billboards.

O'er the ramparts

We watch'd

Were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare

The bombs bursting...

Yeah. Yeah, hit that.

Yeah, hit that.

...in air

Gave proof through the night

That our flag

Was still there

O say

Does that star-spangled

Banner

Yet wave

O'er the land of the free

And the home of the brave?

WHITNEY:

Mommy. How'd I do?

Are you kidding me, Nippy?

You were fantastic.

If you never do anything else

in your life,

you did that

how it was supposed to be done.

Hello.

Hey.

Okay.

Do you think that you can

postpone your wedding...

...for this movie?

Why would I do that?

From Nicole. She thinks

it's a wonderful role for you.

I have my concerns.

The Bodyguard?

It's about a world-famous

singing star

and her difficult relationship

with her bodyguard.

Nope.

Who's the bodyguard?

Kevin Costner.

Did I say no?

'Cause I meant yes.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Well, he wants you.

He wants me?

Yes, he wants you.

Do you wanna think about it?

Sh*t, Clive,

it's only a wedding.

Get your priorities in order.

Thank you.

[WHITNEY HOUSTON'S "RUN TO YOU

(FILM VERSION)" PLAYING]

You done back there?

Yeah.

[GASPS]

Cut.

Whitney.

BOBBY:

Hey.

We're gonna have

a lot more babies.

All right?

I love you.

I love you.

I don't know if I can do this

anymore.

What you mean by that?

Be everything.

To everyone.

Well, you can't stop now.

Right?

Hey, I've got you.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I want you to listen

to something.

We have a minute here, right?

Yes.

Okay.

So, I don't feel

that they're allowing you

to sing strongly enough

in this picture

so that we understand why your

character is such a huge star.

Right.

Okay?

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

I do. I do.

The songs have to be great

in order for the character

to be great.

So Kevin...

...your new best friend,

found this.

Here.

Okay.

This is Dolly Parton.

[OVER HEADPHONES]

And I will always

Love you

What?

I will always love you

I like it.

I like it.

If I should stay

I would only be in

Your way

So I'll go, but I know

I'll think of you

Every step of

The way

[VOCALIZES]

[AUDIENCE CHEERING WILDLY]

Whitney! We love you!

We love you!

We love you!

We love you, Whitney!

[CHEERING GROWS LOUDER]

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

And I

Ooh, I...

Will always love you

Will always love you

You, my darling, you

Bittersweet memories

What?

You think I'm making a mistake.

This is happening, Robyn.

It's what I want.

Okay?

Okay.

All right.

And I

Will always love you

I will always love you

And you and you

And you and you

And you and you and you

Oh, yes, I will

You look beautiful.

I hope life treats you kind

And I hope you have

All you've
