Why Did I Get Married Too Page #5

---

Life is good there, okay?

Please, let's play cards. Come on.

He can't speak for himself?

When Sheila and I first moved there,|she was still in school

and I was looking for a job,|couldn't find one.

It was rough. How's the job search?

What?

Wow.

Let me tell you something, my man.

I'm not the kind of cat that's gonna sit here|and act like I like you, 'cause I don't.

Matter of fact, I don't even like|the fact that you're here.

But since you are here, do yourself a favor,

sit there, nurse your little fruit juice

and leave me and mine the hell alone.

Cool?

All right, got that? Appreciate it.

-Yeah.|-Yeah, I had enough. All right? I'm out.

-Whose phone is that?|-Goodness gracious.

Isn't that your ring?

Yeah, it's a voicemail.|It's probably the kids.

-Okay. I'll check it. Yeah. Be right back.|-It's video or something. Can you check it?

Dianne can check the messages|of Terry's cell phone?

Wow. So she has his password, too.

-Hey, you reneged.|-No, he didn't.

Yes, he did. That's four books for us,|thank you very much.

So we won!

I'm just tired, know what I'm saying?|I got to get some sleep.

Wait a minute. Marcus, no!|That is not right.

How you gonna just renege like that|and get all tired when we mention the...

Terry, that's not right.|Marcus, how you gonna do that...

Baby, you know I didn't say anything|to him, right?

Think that makes me feel good?

I'm sorry, babe.

Look, I know you've been trying. I do.

And we're gonna be all right, okay?

Just don't be mad, okay?|Come on, babe, don't be mad.

I'm not. I just wanna go to sleep.

Yep, I agree. I agree with that, Pat.

Marcus, what you got to hide?

I don't know how many times|I got to tell you, nothing.

Why don't you just drop it?

Because your name is spelled S-N-E-A-K-Y,|Sneaky.

Look, I'm not giving you my password.

-Why?|-Because you ought to trust me.

Marcus, you remember Keisha?|And the penicillin shot?

Why the hell should I trust you?

Baby, that's been over three years.

Have I given you any reason|to doubt me since?

Yes, since you won't give me|the password to your cell phone!

Okay. The password to my cell phone

is G-O, the number two, H-E-L-L.

Babe.

Did you notice that Pat and Gavin|were a little distant tonight?

I really didn't notice that, no.

I don't think you were paying attention.

I noticed it.

I spoke to her, she said they're doing great.

That's Pat, honey. She's always...|They're always great, "We're great!"

You're right. She does say that a lot.

Well, I'll talk to her.

Yeah, talk to her after you talk to me.

You wanna talk to me?|You wanna talk to me. Will you do that?

Phil.

Who's Phil?

You're funny, "Who's Phil?"|No, I meant to say...

What I was about to say was,|I'm gonna go fill the tub

so we can take a bath.

Do you wanna take a bath together?

Yeah. Yeah, let's do that.

Okay.

I am not

going through|what I went through with Mike.

I'm not gonna do that with you, all right?

I ain't Mike.

Well, you know what?|You're sure acting like him.

Not talking to me,|not touching me, not looking at me?

You are putting me|in a bad head space, baby,

and it is not good. Trust me.

-Can you please let this go?|-No.

Now, I know I wanted us to move.

But you agreed.

And I know you haven't found a job,|but we are in this together.

So we're gonna make it together, okay?

I don't wanna talk about this right now.

You know what? If this is too much|for you to deal with, go, Troy. Go!

Because I'm not gonna do this with you.

I'm not gonna do this with you|or anybody else, you got me?

What are you saying?|What the hell are you talking about?

I'm not going anywhere, Sheila.

Then why aren't you looking at me?|Why aren't you touching me?

Why aren't you acting like my husband?

Goodness! I'm just trying...

You know what? Let me find out|you're messing with some chick!

Look, I'm not talking to you|about this anymore

because you're crazy.

-I'm crazy?|-Yes.

But every time we go to dinner,

you lay your cell phone|face-down on the table.

And then when you get text messages,

you read them away from me|like you just did.

And you come home late from work|all the time.

I have late games. I'm in locker rooms late.

You know what? Then them must be|some real feminine football players,

'cause you come home|smelling like cheap perfume

with lipstick on your collar.

You know what? I'm going to sleep.|Forget this.

Marcus. No, you're not going to sleep.

I want the password to your cell phone.

Marcus, I want that password.

Do you know that Dianne has|the password to Terry's cell phone?

And Patricia, she even gives an acronym|in her book for trust,

which is what every relationship|needs in order to make it,

and I'm trying to work that trust.

T, talk,

communicate, which is what|I'm trying to do with you right now.

R, release,

which means I should be cussing|your ass out about this cell phone.

U is for understanding,|which means you should be understanding

why I want the password|to your cell phone.

S is for submit, I ain't doing that.

T stands for talk to that bastard

till he gives you|the damn cell phone number.

Give me the password number|to your cell phone, Marcus!

-You want it?|-Yes, give it to me, Marcus.

-I know what you want.|-Give it to me.

-You want it?|-Give it to me!

-Yeah, I know what you want.|-Come on, Marcus!

I want that password to that cell phone.

Marcus, stop it! I want that password.

I said I want the password.

No, I want the password to the cell phone.

I want the password! Give me the password.

Give me the...

Marcus, I want the password.

Come here.

Stop fighting me. Come here. Come here.

I don't think you understand|what this is like for a man like me.

I've always been able to provide.

It's been months.

And the money from the sale of the store,|it just ain't cutting it.

I'm just stressed, man.

It doesn't have anything|to do with you, okay?

I just need some time. It's just...

You have to communicate that with me.

I am not the same woman I used to be.

I am not the kind of woman|that can deal with that disconnect.

Baby, the hardest thing in the world

is to have a good man|when you've had a bad one.

I think it's harder to have a good woman

after she's had a bad man.

Then when you punish me

for loving you or wanting to talk to you,

you make me wanna do something|worth the punishment.

Can you feel me on that?

I've been a bad boy.

I think I need to be punished.

-What is the problem?|-I know people have problems.

You can't understand me.

I'm not gonna do this with you right now.

No, listen to me.|You tell me what's the problem.

Marcus and Angela.

I'm not gonna go through this.

Sounds like Patricia.

-I'll go, babe.|-No, no, no. I'll go.

Keep your voice down.

Hey, Pat. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Did I just hear you guys arguing in there?

No, we're fine.

Pat,

you can't spend your entire life|just holding everything inside.

Dianne, I know that.

If you know that, okay, well, then tell me.
