Why Did I Get Married? Page #6
- I love her. Of course I do.
- Yes.
But I am not
having another baby.
There's no compromise in that.
Oh... I'm sorry, honey.
Is this difficult for you?
What? Oh, girl, please.
No. I'm fine.
Look at this.
This is cute on you.
We're talking about
you and Marcus.
- I'm gonna pray for y'all.
- Oh, no, honey.
We need to talk
about you and Mike.
Now, that's who needs prayer.
Mike is not so bad.
I just need to lose some weight,
and it'll get better for us.
- It's me. I know it's me.
- Shelia...
Shelia, don't blame
yourself like that.
- It is me.
- No!
I'm trying to lose weight
so that...
sometimes he looks at me
like I disgust him.
- Oh, Shelia.
- It'll get better.
Honey.
It'll get better.
I know it.
All right, Shelia, honey, look,
- I gotta tell you something...
- Angela.
What?
- What is it?
- Angie.
- Listen...
- Wait.
Shelia, look at what
I found in your size, girl.
Girl, Mike is gonna
love you in this.
Isn't this hot?
Did she just come?
Wait a minute. You know what?
Can y'all get her out of here.
- Angela, Angela.
- Angela!
- Angela!
- What?
Why do you have to be
so mean to her?
Shelia, I don't like her.
You don't even know her.
No. You don't know her.
You're trippin'.
All right, Dr. Agnew,
what you got to say about that?
- She's not ready.
- Oh, yeah.
You can say that again.
We don't keep cash in the store.
Wait a minute.
Did she just say that
- 'Cause we're black?
- Angie. Angie!
- Girl!
- I'm gonna have to deal with her.
- Angela.
- Excuse me.
Hey.
What the hell have you got on?
Trina said you might like it.
Trina lied.
Trina set you up.
You need to smack Trina.
You look like you're wearing
a damn tent.
You gotta tell me...
Mike, I want us to work.
Ooh, that's a good start, baby.
I love you.
What do I have to do
to make it work?
Well, you could lose
about 50 pounds.
Then I might be
somewhat attracted to you.
I might.
And, um, oh!
Something you can do now.
You can turn off the lamp.
You're beginning to glow.
Look like the cow that jumped
over the moon.
# Love of my life, my soul mate #
Trina.
- # You're my rest... #
- Oh, that girl's funny.
I tell you.
# Part of me... #
# Now half of me is left #
# I don't know anything at all #
# Who am I to say you love me? #
# I don't know anything at all #
# And who am I to say you need me? #
Are you ready
to talk about this?
Talk about what?
About you telling Monica
not to call me.
Dianne, if you don't
understand that,
there's nothing I need to say.
OK. What is this really about?
Dianne...
don't.
Why? What? Because this isn't about
just spending time together, is it?
I'm beginning to think
you're doing this on purpose.
What are you talking about?
You know I want more kids.
So... you fight with me every night
so we don't have to have sex.
We've been here two days, honey.
When do you think you'll be ready?
Heh. You know what, this is just...
good... good night.
Good night.
Hey, I just got off
the phone with the lab, man.
- You straight.
- Yeah!
Hey, hey, hey.
Don't sleep with Angela, man,
till that shot kicks in.
At least 4-5 days.
Not this week, OK?
Getting better and better.
Hey, you got to tell her.
What? Uh, I don't think so.
What the hell?
Hey, don't listen to this fool.
T- t-tell her.
Look, T. I'm gonna tell her,
you know what I'm saying?
I'll tell her.
Women don't know
as soon as men do.
Whoa. You just said
that he was good.
OK? There is no need to tell...
Listen, listen, man.
I keep trying to tell
you brothers about
the 80l20 rule.
- The what?
- The 80l20 rule.
In most cases, in marriage you're only
gonna get 80% of what you need.
That's it. No more, no less.
Most times, 80%.
Now, here comes
Now, 20% looks real good
when you ain't gettin' it.
But the problem is
you're gonna leave 80
thinking you're getting
something better,
and you end up with 20.
That makes perfect sense to me.
That's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.
Marcus, do not tell this woman.
He's a idiot, that's what he is.
Why the hell you come
up here to be, just be a idiot?
Wait, wait, wait!
Wait. What was he saying?
Troy was telling me
that his parents
lived in this house for 30 years.
Wow.
They were married for 45.
Ooh, people don't stay
married that long no more.
Oh, I think Pat and Gavin will.
I hope so.
You're not sure?
Sounds like trouble in paradise?
There ain't no
trouble in paradise.
You know, you never
know what happens, you know.
Um, but you got to be
willing to do the work.
Yeah. We're not perfect.
You know, we have our days, but...
you know, we remember that
the bottom line is
we love each other.
And it's the love that gets us
- Right, sweetie?
- Mm-hmm.
- To love.
- Love.
- Love.
- Love.
- Trina, you dropped your napkin.
- Oh. Thank you.
You're welcome.
So, um, you're the big-time sheriff
in this town, huh?
I wouldn't exactly say "big time. "
Well, this place is beautiful.
Thank you.
I think so, too.
I'd love to show you guys
around before you leave.
Mm. Thanks, um,
thanks but I can't do that.
We'd be up for that, yeah.
I'd love to, honey.
What time is good?
Anytime.
How about tomorrow? Early?
Sounds good to me.
I don't know if my wife will be able
to make it, though.
blackberry to see if she'll be available.
So, tell me, how much
a gig like that pay, huh?
Oh, my God. Mike.
- What?
- Forgive my husband, please.
No. I'm just saying
it can't be too much, that's all.
Well, Mike, I don't
do it for the money.
Some people do it for the enjoyment.
How about that?
Terry?
Mike do it for the "enjoyment. "
Oh, you must need
another drink, don't you?
And you need
some condoms, don't you?
Heh. Believe me. You don't want
to go down that road with me.
How about we go down
the ski slope skiing.
- Yes.
- Snowboarding.
You two snowboard, whatever.
Naw. Snowmobile.
I can't do that race stuff.
What's so funny?
You want to share with the table?
Mike, can you please
- have a private moment?
- I agree.
could go for a ride or something?
Oh, that sounds great.
So nice.
That sounds nice.
Fun.
Trina ain't going
nowhere with him.
- Why not?
- Yeah, Mike.
Why can't this single woman go out
with this single man?
Can we just drop this, please?
I'm so agreeing with
Dianne right now.
- Let him answer.
- Marcus, get your wife.
Come on, baby.
Give me that drink.
No. As matter of fact,
let me get another drink.
So Mike can tell us why
Trina can't go with Troy.
Angela...
really. It's no big deal.
Mike, can you please
let these single people
- have a private moment?
- I agree.
Maybe after dinner you two
could go for a ride or something?
Oh, that sounds great.
So nice.
That sounds nice.
Fun.
Trina ain't going
