Why Did I Get Married? Page #8
you pretend that you love me.
Stop with all those lies!
- I can't take this.
- Patricia.
You know you hate me.
I hate myself for this!
- I don't hate you. Baby.
- This is my fault!
- No. Don't touch me!
- Baby.
- Don't touch me.
- OK. Well...
No. Will you just listen
to me for once, please?
- It's not your fault.
- This is my fault.
I walk around here
trying to act like "perfect Patty. "
You know, well,
- OK?
- No one's asking you...
No. Will you just listen...
Listen for a minute!
- I'm not...
- Listen!
I was in a hurry.
And...
I strapped him in.
I strapped him in.
But I didn't secure it.
I didn't check.
Check to see
if it was secure. And...
It was raining. And...
I slid off the road, and now...
And now?
- Now he's dead.
- I know. I know, baby.
- I know.
- He's not coming back.
You know, Gavin, I can
deal with a lot of things,
but this...
I'm not strong enough
to deal with this, baby.
Hey, you don't have to be...
strong by yourself.
Just let me be.
Let me be strong for you, OK?
We can make it through.
Baby, I'll be there for you.
No matter what.
Please...
I need to see Marcus.
OK.
Hold for one second.
What the hell
are you doing here?
- I need to see Marcus.
- No. You better get out of this building.
I need to see Marcus.
No. I said you better get out
of this building.
Oh, no, you didn't touch me!
I'm gonna pack you out of here!
You know who you
messin' with, huh?
- What are you doing here?
- Look, I need to talk to you.
About what?
Do you mind?
Yes, I mind. Marcus,
you better get her
the hell out of here before
I throw her out on her face!
Marcus, you better get that ho!
You better check that ho!
- You know what?
- Angie, Angie, Angie.
Let me take care of this.
Yeah. 'Cause I know
how to handle it!
He got a handle.
He can handle all of this.
- Get her. Deal with her.
- All this!
He handles it. And well!
Well, Miss Press n' Curl. Ya ho!
Y'all know I don't take that.
I kick ass up in here every Tuesday.
Y'all know who you work for!
You know who you work for!
What is it?
Yeah. You know what?
She's right here in this office.
Angela, talk to her.
I think that's
what you should do.
I'm not gonna talk to her.
If she says one thing to me,
I'm going to jail for murder.
Well, I'm a lawyer.
I'll get you off.
- Shelia's on line two.
- Oh!
Guys, Shelia's on line two.
I'm gonna conference us in, OK?
But you know what?
If you got to be that damn tenderheaded,
why don't you get out
of my damn chair?
Get out of my chair
looking like next ghetto top weave.
- Oh...
- Shelia?
Are you OK?
We've been trying to reach you.
Yeah. I'm... Mike turned
my cell phone off.
Shelia, honey,
do you need some money?
Angela, I'm fine.
I got a job in a general store.
A general store?
Don't ask.
I'll be all right.
Do you need a place to stay?
You can live with us.
No, Patricia.
I spent too much time
letting other people
take care of me.
I've gotta find my own way.
Where are you?
Just know I'm fine, Dianne.
I gotta do this on my own.
I'm really proud of you, Shelia.
I'm gonna call you guys soon.
I love you.
We're really sorry this happened.
- Shelia, I'm so sorry.
- I'll be all right.
Honey, I love you, OK?
- We love you.
- We love you.
I love y'all, too.
Um, Dianne, tell Terry
I said happy birthday, OK?
Oh, my God!
Is that today?
Dianne, you didn't
forget, did you?
- Oh. I have to go.
- OK.
I'll talk to you.
Later.
Hey, Sheriff.
Hey.
Hey!
Thanks for getting me this job.
Ha! You kidding me?
If it wasn't for you,
this place wouldn't even be open again.
It's his lifelong dream, this place.
# Ooh, I want you #
# The right way #
# And I want you #
# I want you #
# But I want you to want me, too #
# Want me, too #
# Want you to want me #
# I want you to love me baby #
# Just like I want you... #
Oh.
You work out every day?
Not every day.
I should go with you sometime.
You know you laugh,
but you might actually enjoy it.
Keeps the stress down.
I couldn't run
from here to that door.
Maybe we can...
maybe we can start walking first.
If you want to.
No.
You know, Shelia,
you've been putting in
a lot of time in this place,
you know, getting it
to be open and all.
Want to go to
the movies later?
# I want you #
# But I want you to want me, too #
# I want you #
# To want me, baby #
# Just like I want you #
Shelia?
What did you say?
Movies.
Have some fun.
Laugh, smile.
You want to go?
OK.
- # Oh, sugar #
- OK.
# Pure and fair #
# Ooh #
Why the hell
was she at my salon?
She had to see me.
About what?
Angela, lay off.
I'm getting sick of this.
Oh, then leave.
You keep it up,
and that's just what I'm gonna do.
Oh, please, Marcus.
Please. You ain't going nowhere.
You know why
you ain't going nowhere?
'Cause... this is my money!
You need this money!
- I'm sick of you.
- Get out!
- Get out!
- What are you talking about?
- No, stop! Get...
- First of all...
First of all!
It was my money that
started the damn business.
Now, you think I'm with you
for the money?
I'm with you because
I love you,
but you too damn stupid to see it.
I was with you
when you didn't have a dime.
And I've always
been there for you!
Not afraid to let you shine.
It's a damn shame
when you women are so used to
losing you don't realize
when you've won.
Kids, get your stuff.
Your daddy here.
I know you did not
bring this trick up into my house.
I have told you...!
Just shut up! Shut!
Now, Keisha...
this is my wife.
And you are going
to respect her.
So don't call our house
or come by my job
unless it's got something
to do with the kids.
We're done.
Now, I have to have
a relationship with you
because of them, and that is it.
So if it ain't got
nothing to do with the kids,
don't you call me!
And I'm gonna tell you this one time.
You better stop talking
to my kids about her,
do you understand me?
Yeah.
Wow. It's about time...
Hey! Shut!
Now, both of y'all,
better learn to get along
for the sake of these kids.
And stop acting like
you're both damn 5 years old!
Daddy.
- Hi, babies.
- Hi, guys.
- Hey.
- Hi, honey.
Get in the car.
Hop on in.
OK.
All right now.
Better put your seatbelts on.
OK. Now, daddy's gonna
see you guys a little later, OK?
Put your seatbelt on.
Daddy loves you.
Baby. Marcus,
where are you going?
Oh! I am so sorry I'm late.
I just, you know,
I got wrapped up,
and it just slipped my mind.
It's all right, love.
You remember
what you want to remember.
Babe, I really am sorry.
OK. I will see you at
the office tomorrow, doc, OK?
OK, Pam.
Listen, thanks for
the cake and ice cream.
Anytime, Terry.
All right, darling.
- Happy birthday.
- Oh, thank you, Pam.
Ha ha!
Are you two having an affair?
Yeah. You better.
And don't come
