Why Did I Get Married Too Page #9

---

Yeah, I won't say a word.

It's really good seeing you. You look great.

Thank you.

What's wrong with you?

-Why are you being so nice?|-I've always been nice.

Who do you think you're talking to?

I know you.

Okay.

Look, I...

I've made some bad decisions in my life

and I just want to fix them, that's all.

That's good.

I'm glad for you.

I do miss you.

Oh, God.

I'm gonna go and meet with the girls.|They're waiting for me around the corner.

Tell them hi.

Noises? From the bedroom?|And you heard this from your neighbor?

Yeah, can you believe that?|She caught me at my car and told me that,

and I'm gonna find out the truth.

What the hell are you looking at?

Was that you on Sports Shuffle?

You know what?|Shuffle that food down your fat-ass throat

and leave me the hell alone, okay?|And mind your business.

-Shuffle that! Thank you very much!|-What's he talking about?

Absolutely nothing.|Dianne, nothing, trust me.

Can you believe,|Tuesdays and Thursdays in my house?

-In my bed.|-No, I really can't.

-Has he lost his mind?|-Yes.

Hi, Sheila.

Hi, how are you?

Sorry, I'm late.

Where's Pat?

I tried to call her.|She's not answering her phone. So...

Oh, my God, Dianne. Is she okay?

-You guys, I can't talk about the case.|-Yes, you can.

Please, don't... Don't ask me. No.

Come on. She's not okay.

It's gonna get ugly. I know it.

Divorces are born to be ugly.|But Pat and Gavin...

-I know.|-They were like a template for us.

I know. Me, too.

I mean, whenever I got into it with Terry,|I would just say,

"What would Patricia do?"|Now, I don't know what to say.

He's cheating on her, ain't he?

-Gavin? No.|-Yes. Didn't he?

-Come on, give up the goods, Dianne.|-No. She didn't say that he did, but...

How do you really know that your spouse|is cheating, anyway? I mean, really.

If you think he's cheating,|then he's cheating.

Wait a second, just because you suspect,

that doesn't mean that it's the truth.|It just doesn't.

I disagree with that.

Dianne, every time|I caught Marcus cheating,

I knew it before I found out.

I know because I know how to listen|to that voice on the inside of me

that tells me when a man is cheating.

The voice?

Yeah, but you smoked|so much weed in college!

Baby, you might not want to listen|to that voice in your head.

It's probably still high.

Seriously, if you're always|in a chemically induced state,

you might want to reconsider

everything that you're doing.

And thinking, too.

What is this, an intervention?

That has absolutely nothing to do with it.

I know how to tell.

If your man, if he goes to work all day long

and then comes home|smelling like a fresh bar of soap,

something's up. I ain't got time|to be sitting around all day guessing.

Relationships are supposed to be about

-trust.|-No, I'm an old-school fool.

I'm checking his bank statements,|I'm checking his credit card statements,

I'm checking his timecard at work|and I'm comparing it

to the hours that he said he was working

and it better match the money|he has coming home.

I'm checking his cell phone bill,

I'm checking the numbers that|he was calling on his cell phone bill.

I'm checking his mileage in the car.

His job is 10.5 miles.

The kids' school is 2.1 miles.

I checked the mileage when he goes|to Terry and Dianne's house.

That is 6.7 miles.

And when any of those miles come back|2.2, or 5.6, or 7.9, or 10.7...

If he comes back

and I see 4.8 and a half of a mile,

that means he came from Keisha's house,

he rode to the store|to get some breath spray...

Do you check his pulse|when he walks through the door?

His resting heart rate is 42 beats a minute.

If Marcus comes home to the house|and he claims he was at work all day,

if that resting heart beat is 58 beats|a minute, he's been cheating.

I'm not doing all that. That's a full-time job.

-Exactly.|-The bottom line

is that I have to check him.

All that time I spent training that man|on how to be right for me,

you think that I'm really gonna let|some other woman

take all that on-the-job training?

-What is he, a man or a puppy? 'Cause...|-He ain't either one.

That's why I got his cell phone right here,|and I'm waiting for it to ring.

I just hate that Gavin and Patricia|are going through this.

It's unbelievable, really.

Dianne, what happened?

They want a divorce, that's all I can tell you.

-I can't say anything. Stop asking me.|-Ring the doorbell.

Patricia!

Her car is out there.|I don't know why she's not answering.

Hey, babe, it's us.

Come on, let us in.

We're worried about you, baby, please.

Hey.

-Hey, where you been?|-I went out with the girls.

Where's our son?

I put him down about an hour ago.

-Okay.|-Babe...

I'm sorry.

You know, I thought you'd left me.

Why would you think that?

Because every time we get into it,|you threaten to leave me.

I'm not gonna leave you.

Good.

'Cause I don't want you to leave.

Baby, married people argue,|even in a good marriage.

-I know.|-We got a good marriage.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

I cooked.

Smells good.

You want some?

I got a job.

-I got a job!|-Oh, babe, that's great!

I start tomorrow.

I mean, it... It just came out of nowhere.|It was the craziest thing.

-Told you.|-Oh, man.

Sorry, man. I saw that, though.

I'm sitting at home watching it going,|"This is crazy!"

What's up, Gavin?

-Hey, hey!|-Hey.

You good, buddy?

Yeah.

What's up, man?

What's happening, Gavin?

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

You ready to move?

Yeah.

Are you gonna open the door?

Yeah.

Gavin!

She changed the locks.

Are you crazy?

Gavin! Man, did you just throw a...

Gavin, man, what are you...|What are you doing?

We came to help you move. I don't want|to be a part of no crap with y'all.

No, that's fine. Okay, I have some suitcases|and boxes over there,

-some other stuff in this.|-Where's Patricia? Is she at work?

I don't know. I waited across the street|for her to leave. So...

This dude just threw a ficus|through the window!

Waiting for her... What... Man, this is not|healthy. Come on, Gavin, I mean, come on!

Stop this, okay? Please, stop it.

-She cheated on you, didn't she?|-No.

-You cheated?|-No.

Damn, everybody ain't cheating, okay...

Look, guys, please. Hurry up and help me|get my stuff before she comes back.

Gavin, she don't know about this?

-No.|-Okay, wait, wait, wait, okay, this is...

Okay, wait, listen.|Listen to me, okay. Really.

Fourteen years|you've been with this woman.

There's got to be something|in them 14 years somewhere

that's worth fighting for. This is not cool.

You can only fight with a person when|they're willing to get in the ring with you.

She doesn't love me anymore.

That's what she said. She said|she doesn't want to be with me, okay?

I don't love my wife all the time.|She don't love me all the time, okay?

It's marriage. It goes in cycles.

Sometimes you love them, sometimes|you don't, right? You and Angela...

See? See? It goes around...
