Why Did I Get Married? Page #2

her husband Marcus?

Wasn't he having trouble

staying employed?

Yes, but they seem to have

worked something out.

I'm sick of dealing with

your ghetto baby mama.

Do you mind?

Excuse us.

And what the hell are you talking

about, "do you mind?"

Y'all ain't never seen

black people on a train?

You ain't never heard

of the underground railroad?

It looks like we've got

a ghetto Harriet Tubman.

Ooh, let my people go.

You heard me?

Snap.

- She's drunk.

- Yeah, we can tell.

- Probably a 40.

- Malt liquor.

Do you always have

to embarrass me?

Look at you, Marcus.

You are an embarrassment, OK?

And I was fine till we dropped

your kids off at Keisha's house.

She's their mother.

What do you want me to do?

Be a man and tell her

to stop talking to me like she crazy.

I'm telling you, Marcus, if she

looks at me one more time cross-eyed,

I'm gonna gut her like a fish.

She wasn't even looking at you.

How would you know?

You weren't even on her face.

You too busy staring at her ass.

Could you lay off

of that for a while?

Could you go to hell for a while?

I'm already there.

- Excuse me?

- Nothing.

Do you mind?

Fifi is trying to nap.

You know what?

Well, Angela is trying to have

a conversation with her husband.

I'm about sick of y'all

interrupting my conversation.

I don't give a damn about Fifi.

I heard those little

smart-ass remarks

you made, too.

Didn't your mama

teach you something?

Who the hell do these

people think they are anyway?

Didn't y'all see me having

a conversation with my husband

when I got on this train?!

Trying to save

a damn marriage here.

What about you

and your husband?

What about us?

I know you've been

through a lot lately,

and I am so sorry for your loss,

but I mean, how

is your marriage holding up?

Um...

you can ask my husband yourself.

Um... ahem.

We're gonna be late for our flight.

That's how we're doing.

Well, there you have it.

Thank you.

Wow. The brochure didn't

do this place justice.

Look at this.

How you guys doing?

Welcome to Lake Leland.

Thank you. You must be

Sheriff Jackson.

Troy. Please, call me Troy.

Hey, I'm Terry.

- A pleasure.

- This is my wife Dianne.

Nice to meet you both.

Well, everything's

all set up for you.

Here are your keys.

Plenty of wood for you already

chopped up out back,

but we're expecting

a huge snowstorm tonight,

so you may want to

chop some more.

It should be over by morning.

It gets pretty thick up here.

Oh, OK. Thanks

for the heads up, man.

No problem. I thought

there were more of you.

Oh, there are.

They're gonna be here

within the next few hours.

Oh, good.

Then they'll beat the storm.

Need anything?

I appreciate the house, man.

Thank you.

I'll be at the sheriff's

station down the mountain.

OK. Thank you.

Hey, this is Mike. I can't get

to the phone, so holler at me.

You know what to do.

Hey, Mike.

It's Shelia.

I hope you and Trina

had a good flight.

I'll get there

as soon as I can.

Miss you, baby.

I love you.

#... Thus far #

# And grace will lead me #

# On, ohh! #

# Can you believe it? #

# Clap your hands #

# Everybody #

# Whoa #

# I'm gonna keep on clapping my hands #

# Yeah #

So, Dianne, I was

thinking we could have...

Dianne?

Wine and candles

are down here.

What are you doing?

Hey, Dianne, we...

Dianne.

Hello?

Hey, Monica, how you doing?

No, no. She's asleep.

Monica, listen,

do me a favor.

Don't call this week.

We're on vacation, OK?

Oh, I understand all that,

I understand all that,

but I'm saying to you,

I'm telling you not to call, OK?

- Knock, knock. Hey.

- Hey.

- How you doing?

- Good. How are you?

Good to see you, Patricia.

- What's going on, Gavin?

- Hey, brother.

- You all right?

- Good to see you. Yes, sir.

- Good to see you, man.

- Where's Dianne?

- She's upstairs sleeping.

- Oh, no, no, no.

Can't have that.

I'll get her up.

How you been, man?

She sleeping, or she working.

Sleeping and working, man.

You know what she's doing.

You look good, man.

Thank you, thank you.

Glad we beat the weather.

They were delaying

flights like crazy.

Yeah, I think Mike

and Shelia got delayed.

They were supposed

to beat us here.

Mm.

So, who got that

contract for the city

you guys were working on

with the casino?

Me.

Myself and I.

- By yourself?

- Mm-hmm.

Congratulations, man.

That's great.

Thank you, thank you,

thank you.

I was praying that

you would get it, man.

Thank you much.

Look at all of us, man.

When we were in college,

did you think

that we'd be doing what we said

we'd be doing?

I mean, look at me. Pediatrician,

doing well, private practice.

Dianne's a top litigator

at her firm,

you, top architect, right?

Patricia's a best-selling author.

Man, I'm proud of us.

I think we did all right.

But if my memory

serves me correctly,

you should have about,

what, 4 kids by now?

You got to talk

to her about that.

And you supposed to

have at least two...

Oh, man.

I'm sorry about that.

Naw, that's OK.

It's OK.

Who's the wine for?

Was for Dianne.

You may as well.

Wake up.

Oh.

You are still the same

pain in the butt

that you were

when we were roommates.

Exactly, and that's

why I'm not leaving

until you get up.

Come on, Dee, get up.

Wake up.

I'm up.

Give me a hug.

- Hey, girl.

- How are you?

Well, I just dozed off

for a second.

Oh, goodness.

I can see why.

Yeah. Well, I'm defending

a 16-year-old on trial for capital murder.

- Jeez.

- Mm-hmm.

Which is why I needed

this break, which, nice spot.

- Yes. Yes, it is.

- It's very peaceful here.

Ah, Angela and Marcus, yes?

- Uh, yeah.

- Oh, God. Here we go.

- Yeah. There goes the peace.

- Right.

Can you close the door? Huh?

You're closer to the door.

What... with your hand, can you...

the same way you close the door

can you write a check?

Huh? Can you do that?

Can you write a check?

What does that

have to do with anything?

No, you know it has...

I breathed in and out again.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I swear, one of these days...

What? What you gonna do? Huh?

I wish you would.

You know I got 5 brothers...

Hello, hello.

- Like I'm scared of them.

- You say that now.

- I'm so scared of them.

- Hi!

- Hi!

- Hello, hello.

Hey, Terry.

Hey, Pat.

Good to see you.

Oh, he gets on my nerves.

Hey, Di.

Oh, yeah, yeah. OK.

Hey, Gavin. Mwah!

Hi.

Y'all all right?

Hell, yeah.

We're fine.

Oh, man. We good.

Know what I'm saying?

I need a drink.

It's the middle of the day.

Yeah, well then

get me some kahlua and milk.

I'm tired as hell.

And whose idea was it

for us to come up to the snow?

Now, y'all know colored folks

and water don't get along in any form.

I like it up here, and this is

Patricia's idea, you know that.

Yes, it's mine.

It's beautiful here.

You have to admit this.

No, you're right.

You're right. It's beautiful.

But Jamaica's

beautiful and warm.

Now where's the kitchen

so I can get a drink.

- Come on.

- Come over here.
