Why Did I Get Married Too Page #4

---

I don't care nothing about that.

Why'd you have to tell them that?

-Say what?|-That we spent our last.

I didn't think about it.

Baby, I don't want them to know that.

Have you told them how hard it is|for us right now?

They're our friends.

They're your friends, all right?

I barely know them.

And I don't want them all in our business.

I definitely don't want|that damn fool to know!

I know you don't know them like I do, babe.

But trust me, they're really good people...

I don't want them in our business.

Okay. It won't happen again.

I'm serious.

We are on vacation.

Shoot, last time I was here,

I caught a fish that was 13-feet long,|know what I'm saying?

-Yeah, we hear you!|-We know what you're saying!

I even had to have help bringing|that boy in, you know what I'm saying?

I helped you, know what I'm saying?

What?

Nothing, Marcus. Nothing.

Why didn't Troy come?

What, you got to ask?

You're sitting next|to our house guest over there,

so that's why the hell he didn't come!

So, Mike, how'd you guys make out|in the market?

My firm held, man.|But it was crazy seeing other guys.

In fact, one guy committed suicide.

He was a trust fund baby.

In fact, I got to tell Sheila about that

'cause we had dinner with him|a couple times,

and she always said he was unstable.

That girl, I tell you,|she could always read people.

Almost.

Watch it.

-We're just kidding around, baby.|-Watch it!

I ain't that bad, so you need to stop.

Okay. No, you ain't that bad!

You're right, you're worse!

Mike, why are you so sensitive?

Sensitive.

Whatever! Whatever!|I don't care what y'all say, Sheila miss me.

Look, we had some good times.|What, you don't think Sheila misses me?

-No!|-Not at all?

-Like, no, not at all.|-Why are you asking?

-Exactly, man, what does it matter?|-You know, I miss her.

Say what?

Look, I miss her, okay? I miss her.

Hold up a second, Mike, who are you?

I just don't know what the hell|I was thinking letting her go.

We came on vacation, we came to have|a good time. Don't start nothing, man.

All right, I'm just looking back at my life.

When you look back at your life,

you find that old girl that you dogged out

and you wish you knew then|what you know now.

That's all, all right? Sheila's a good woman.

You know she's happily married.

Exactly, happily married.

Does she talk to Dianne or to Pat about me?

She never talks about you, man, honestly.

Sheila told Pat that she's happily married.

Please fast forward that.

Happily married, in spite of the fact|that he hasn't found a job yet.

-Troy's jobless?|-Why, why?

-He got no job?|-That's important!

-Don't tell him that!|-He don't got no job?

What, he laying on the couch?|He's jobless?

No, he's not jobless, they just moved|from Colorado to Atlanta, right?

So he's trying to find a job.

-There's a difference.|-Fine, fine.

Yo, we're about to kill all this.

Marcus, does Sheila talk to Angela|about me?

No, like, never.

I know you're lying.

I'm not lying. I'm telling you the truth!|What you talking about lying?

If he was lying, you would know he's lying.

Hold on, hold on.

Wait, wait.|This how you find out if he's lying.

-How big was that fish, again?|-What? Why?

How big was the fish?

-Thirteen feet, know what I'm saying?|-There you have it.

Oh, wait, wait, wait!

And Sheila never talks to Angela about me?

No.

Know what I'm saying! It isn't happening.

Why would Mike just show up like that?

'Cause he's a damn fool.

Sometimes, when we haven't dealt with|things in our lives, they tend to show up.

Yeah, but I dealt with that.

How's Troy dealing with it?

He's okay with Mike being here,

but he got mad because I said|we spent our last.

-Yeah, I felt that.|-Was I wrong?

-Did you spend your last?|-Yeah.

Well, then you weren't wrong.

No, she wasn't wrong, but it is different|than when you were married to Mike.

Oh, I know that.

This man has so much on his mind,|and he probably feels

really bad that he can't give you|what you're used to.

But I never made him feel bad about that.

I don't care about that stuff, anyway.

Yeah, but see, that doesn't matter.

This is what he thinks|and the best thing for you to do

is really to just try to make him|feel at ease with the situation.

I thought I was doing that.

Child, please, all that man needs is a job.

And then when he gets a job,|he's gonna start talking back to you

and staying out late all the time,

and telling you how much|money he's making

and how much he's making more than you,

and how he could be doing better than you|and how he's tired of all your bull crap...

-What?|-You sound so jealous!

I'm not jealous! I just don't like his job!

You dogged that man out|for not having a job,

then he got one|and now you're unhappy. What?

You just wanna be in control|of the relationship.

And now that you feel that|you don't have so much control,

you're just taking all your frustrations|out on the man, Angie.

Pat, I am not trying to control this man.

I don't wanna control him,|I just want him to do what I say.

You see? There it is, right there!

Listen, when people tend to change|in relationships, it causes us to be afraid.

And then we panic,|and that panic makes it worsen our fears.

So you have all the answers, don't you?

No, I don't have all the answers,

but I do suggest that you loosen up|your grip a little bit on the man.

You might see a difference.

This is Marcus we are talking about.

I loosen up my grip,|he's gonna run like a wild dog.

She might be right about that.

But it is absolutely amazing to me

how you can look at everybody else|and see their problems.

Angela, I'm a doctor. This is what I do.

Yeah. Well, you know what?|I don't wanna talk about me anymore.

Let me get a few drinks up in y'all|and then we'll see what's really going on.

You know, you all act|like I'm the problem child.

Matter of fact, bartender,|can I get a few shots over here?

-Yes, ma'am.|-We'll see!

-...nice looking.|-I hope you look good over there, baby.

Baby, I hope you look good over there.

-We got next. Careful.|-Y'all need to stop talking across the board.

-They gonna lose.|-Who's winning?

We are. We're about to win.

Okay, Marcus, what've you got?

-I got five and a possible.|-Give us board, man.

Come on, baby,|you got to have more than that.

No, I don't.

I'm looking at at least three books|in your hand, right there, Sheriff.

Mike!

What? The man ain't playing his hand,|that's all I'm saying.

Look, you got a hand like that,|you got to know what to do with it.

I guess if anybody knows what to do|with a good hand, it would be you.

What? I like this guy, Sheila.

Hey, you're quick on your feet, buddy!|That's right.

Play your card, baby.

Don't rush me.

Mike, why don't we go take a walk?

Why would we do that?

Because you're a third wheel.

Right.

I'm enjoying myself, thank you.

So, Troy, how's life in Atlanta?

-Life is good, thank you.|-I was talking to him.

-And she was talking to you...|-You know what? Angela, I got it.
