Why Did I Get Married? Page #11
- Great.
- Good. Good.
- You look good.
- Thank you.
Well, I'm gonna go to the ladies room
and freshen up.
- All right.
- Ooh! Lipstick.
Lipstick.
Don't kiss me.
Stop, stop, stop.
Shelia?
Heh.
- Trina.
- Wow.
You look amazing.
How... how are you?
I feel amazing.
Wow.
when I saw you again.
If I would cuss you out
or stomp you on the street,
whup that ass.
And amazingly...
all I want to do is pray for you.
But don't tempt me.
Stay away from
the wine bottles, OK?
Have a good evening.
Sheriff?
Oh, what you doing here?
Well, we came to support Patricia
on her big night.
"We?" Who's we?
Me and my wife.
OK. I think I'm ready.
Shelia?
Hello, Mike.
Which way is it?
Right up here
to the left, honey.
- You look beautiful.
- Thank you.
Perfect!
Thank you. So much.
That's beautiful.
Divas...
Oh, my God!
Oh, you remembered.
- How could I forget?
- What happened?
Where? Oh...
Oh, my God!
We've been worried
about you, you know.
I'm fine.
That's this glow that
I see happening here?
I haven't seen that
in a long time.
I'd like to think I had a little something
to do with that.
Oh, hey, Troy.
How you doing, ladies?
What are you doing here?
Shelia?
I stayed in Colorado.
We're married now.
Get out!
You're about to make me
have a heart attack.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Troy, you gotta go.
Get out. Troy, get out.
We need to speak to our friend,
so she can tell us what happened.
- All right, all right. I'm leaving.
- Bye.
Oh, Shelia!
Shelia and Troy together?
Yes. They're together.
They're together
and they look,
you know, she look really good.
She looks what?
Did you hear?
I missed it, too.
I said she looked good.
OK, she looked really good. Mike.
- All right. She look really good.
- OK. Good.
So, I, you know... it was just...
I haven't seen her in awhile.
So it was kind of,
you know, ooh.
What the hell
are you saying, man?
I'm just saying
it was kind of surprising.
It was kind of
surprising to see her.
To see her what?
Yeah. I just haven't seen her
in awhile, that's all.
- You miss her?
- What?
Come on, man.
What, y'all drinking too much.
Troy.
How you doing, guys?
Hey, Sheriff.
What's going on?
Good to see you, brother.
Same here.
Well, congratulate him. You know,
him and Shelia got married.
Right.
Hey, congrat...
Can you believe
he married my ex?
To you and Shelia.
- To you and Shelia.
- Yes.
Thank you.
He what now?
Said he married my ex.
One man's ex can be
another man's treasure.
So, um, she had
that gastric bypass?
No.
Actually, we just...
we just worked out together.
Ooh.
You know what
that means, right?
L... I just can't
wait to see her.
I want to see her, too, man.
I can't wait to see
what working out will do for you.
I'm going to the table, man.
I can't play with y'all.
Hey, man.
Don't be bitter, man.
We're just... we're just
clowning around.
Working out, man.
Working out.
I thought...
I prayed...
that God would save my marriage.
But it wasn't built
I thought if Mike
got right, you know...
if I lost the weight,
that everything would be OK.
It's been hard.
It's been hard.
But it's me.
I did it.
I'm doing it.
That's right.
And it feels so good.
It feels so good.
Oh!
I thought that God
had given up on me.
Yeah.
Because...
here I am in this marriage
and it don't work.
He don't love me,
he don't like me.
But he brought me somebody.
He is an amazing man.
He is supportive.
He doesn't criticize me.
He walks with me.
He loves me through all of it.
You understand what I'm saying?
Oh, Jesus.
I didn't have that.
And I do now.
And...
I wake up.
I wake up with so much joy
in my heart.
Oh!
Oh, God.
Help us, Jesus.
He already has, huh?
I wake up with so much joy
in my heart.
Ah.
You are so beautiful, Shelia.
Oh, my God.
But you are not...
- with that makeup.
- Aah!
We need to get it together.
- This is.
- No, we can't do that.
Oh, my God.
OK, we got to get it together.
I need some tissue.
Oh, Jesus!
OK, give me some.
I need some powder.
First of all,
I'd like to thank everyone
for such a lovely, lovely evening.
I feel very proud to be
to receive this award.
I'm very blessed
to have won an honor
for a book that has given me
such gratification
and information...
and great vacations.
Hey, we really didn't
get a chance to talk.
On purpose?
Come on, Shelia.
Don't be like that.
What do you want, Mike?
I'm trying to listen to Patricia.
Look, I'm sorry about
how all this went down.
Dianne, Terry...
OK? I don't... I don't
want you to be mad at me.
Marcus...
forgiveness, you know?
I want you to forgive me.
Isn't that what
the good book says?
Yes.
I forgave you a long time ago.
Because if I had stayed angry,
out on Troy.
And he is too good for that.
You understand?
Yeah.
- Yeah. He's too good for that.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Hey, I was your first.
You never forget your first, right?
You did think you were my first,
didn't you?
I just wanted to say
sorry and, uh...
you know, there's this, um,
there's this thing called the 20l80 rule.
Mike...
I know all about the 80l20 rule.
Look... I thank you for helping me
find myself then.
But the woman I am now
is done with you.
So turn around
and go back to Trina.
Your 20.
I say clear and loud...
for everyone to hear...
Gavin...
I love you.
I love you.
And in closing,
I would like for everyone
to remember
the greatest achievement
for any human being
is to love God...
yourself...
and others.
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you.
