" Previously on Single Ladies..." " I heard you say that Aaron was your Professor." "It's just sex." "He seems way more into you." "You're ending it?" "Did it ever really begin?" "I have a little money that I'm willing to invest in you." "He isn't here?" "Reed, where the hell are you?" "Ma'am, this isn't Reed." "Mr. durham overdosed." "You're sleeping on my couch until we finish this album, so get comfortable." "Are you saying you were never in love with me?" "If you hadn't pressed me, I wouldn't have realized I was settling with you." "Thank you for being a complete gentleman." "It's rare for me to meet a woman these days that wants to take the time to get to know a man." "I take it Woody's coming over tonight?" "I'm going to Malcolm's." "Malcolm, please don't play with my heart, because it's really in this." "Mine is too."

"I've been here so long, I've run out of clothes..." "Again." "I need to go home." "I'll buy you more clothes." "I'll take you up on the offer, but I still have to go home." "I keep canceling plans with Val and April." "I'm one excuse away from losing two friends." "I haven't called the office or my pops in days." "I guess we, uh, have been shutting the world out ever since we made it official." "How about, I'll call my people over, you call your people over, and I'll cook brunch for everyone." "That way, we can see them and still be together." "We got it bad, huh?" "Oh, yeah, we sprung." "Now, about you cooking brunch..." "Mm-hmm." "Are you sure you want to try that, babe?" "What do you mean?" "I can cook breakfast." "It's the after-5:00 foods I'm not so sure about." "Fine, whatever you want." "That's a dangerous thing to say to a wom with a prada obsession." "Hmm."

"Oh, I'm trying to be a good roommate, and put some things away." "You didn't unpack my bedroom stuff, did you?" "Oh, no, I have five sisters." "I was trained well." "Stuck to the boxes marked "kitchen."" "That's sweet." "Did you work your magic in the bathroom too?" "I was just about to, but then I heard this hook in my head, and I had to lay it down." "Listen."

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just... it's the kind of song that you get stuck in your head because you've heard it on the radio over and over again, but you never buy it." "And then in six months, you forget it." "You just described, like, half the songs on the billboard hot 100, and they're forgettable all the way to the bank." "Ironically, the songs of yours that I like the most were the songs that wes threw out." "That stuff was more original." "I felt you." "Yeah, but wes didn't feel me." "And face it, that guy knows hits." "Yeah, but wes was missing what's special about you." "And if you release a crap boyband song now and it doesn't hit, you're not gonna get the kind of respect you're looking for, and you're gonna be completely off the map." "I don't think it's necessarily wrong to do a song like this." "But I'll keep working on it if it makes you feel better." "It would make me feel better." "It would also make me feel better if you, uh, put away your dirty laundry." "I..." "I can't... oh, are you?" "It's Reed's working time." "It's working time for me right now." "Now." "Okay." "Fantastic idea." "Mm-hmm." "But..." "But what?" "Are you sure you want to try that?" "Maybe you should have it catered." "I know a great place." "Why is everyone acting like I've never been in a kitchen?" "I can cook." "Just be there please." "You know I will be." "So where are you and Jerry going tonight?" "The Solomon club for dinner." "Oh, so he continues to impress." "Yes, he does, and I need to hurry because he sent a car for me and it's waiting downstairs." "Okay, Ms. private club with a personal chauffeur." "Wasn't it you who said you didn't need a man with money?" "Mm-hmm, you sure are getting comfortable." "Can you just zip it please?" "I'm trying." "I was talking about your lips." "Huh." "Hello?" "Who is this?" "Why are you calling me?" "It's Quinn." "Quinn?" "When did you get a friends, family, and losers plan?" "No, Quinn, I'm very busy." "I don't have time to talk." "And I don't even know what we would talk about." "I can think of a few things." "I don't mean to be rude, but I'm on my way somewhere, so I have to go." "Quinn." "Oh, hell no." "What's up, Val?" "Can I talk to you?" "What the hell are you doing at my house?" "I'm sorry for just showing up." "But I knew you would always be too busy to talk to me on the phone, so... so you thought it was a good idea to force me to talk to you?" "No, but it's important." "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't." "Don't you have one bad knee already?" "You need to back up out of here before you have two." "Val, can I have a moment with you alone, please?" "No, you can't." "You had five years of moments alone with Val." "You didn't say the right things then, and I'm sure you have nothing worth saying now." "Keisha, I know this is your girl, and it's your duty to be all riled up." "But all due respect, this is between me and Val, okay?" "So could you just..." "I could, but I won't." "I bit my tongue when you broke my girl's heart and walked out on her in front of a room full of people." "I bit my tongue again when you got engaged a few months later." "So I'll be damned if I bite my... kelsh." "It's okay." "I can handle this." "I'm in a hurry." "Look, after we broke up, when you needed to talk, I gave you that." "I let you get whatever you had to say off your chest." "Now I need you to do the same for me." "Fine, but it's not happeng right now." "I'll meet you at the coffee shop tomorrow." "Okay, thank you, Val." "I really appreciate it." "I just... what was that about?" "I guess I'll find out I guess I'll find out tomorrow." "♪♪, to have that off the wall, don't stop till you get enough kind of love?" "You don't want that anymore?" "Woody, it's not going to happen." "How can I be your boy toy if you won't play with me?" "Come on, girl." "I need you!" "I'm in a relationship now." "You're in a what?" "A relationship." "Want me to spell it out?" "It's when two people are exclusive with one another." "Huh?" "I've been in one of those since I've known you." "But I drop everything whenever you call." "What does this guy have that I don't?" "I've already wounded your ego." "Now you want me to start in on your feelings too?" "Does he have all this?" "Boy..." "Put your clothes back on." "I'm off the market." "♪ Mm mm mm ♪" "♪ mm mm mm ♪ mm..." "Oh!" "You know it's wrong to leave me all worked up like this." "You're right." "Omar!" "All right." "All right." "We'll play it your way." "But call me the minute he messes up." "And he will mess up." "Please, God, let him mess up." "Bye, Woody." "Bye-bye." "I don't know, Omar." "I think this might be a little tight." "You're welcome." "Everybody knows the hotter the bartender, the better the tips." "Yeah, but it's just temporary until I can actually pass the bar." "I know, honey, but no one can see your mind, so in the meantime, show 'em some pecs." "And here I thought you were with me 'cause you wanted to date a lawyer." "That's the first time in two months you actually used the word "date."" "So is that what we're doing?" "I think it's something we should talk about." "Look, let me take you to dinner." "Since lunch is almost over..." "It's not going to be one of those "I like you but" kinds of dinners, is it?" "No, not at all." "It'll be good." "I just want to make sure we're on the same page." "You've been gone for over an hour." "Now I can't take my lunch break with Vincent." "I'm sorry, Val texted me to pick up some materials for her." "But if I had known what you had on the menu, I would have hurried back." "Freak." "I'll see you tonight?" "Uh, no, tonight I have that thing I can't get out of." "Remember?" "But tomorrow." "Definitely." "Okay?" "Okay?" "Mm." "Where'd you find him?" "Don't tell Val, but I found him at the gap." "We were looking for jeans, but we only saw each other." "And now that's my boo." "Kind of thought you were a player." "Didn't really picture you as a one-man man." "That's because I was waiting on the right one." "Vincent's fun." "He's cultured." "And he's going to be a lawyer." "Mm!" "And if my washing machine ever breaks down, I could do my laundry on his abs." "Okay." "Isn't that the Professor you went down under with?" "What does he want now?" "This guy is really pathetic." "Just can't let it go." "All right." "Are you trying to pretend like you're shopping here?" "No, I've had everything in here that I could possibly want." "But I came by because I wanted to see the look on your face when I told you I was flunking you for the semester." "You can't do that." "If you flunk me, then I won't be in a good standing and I'll lose my visa." "I could be deported." "Now, that is a distinct possibility." "I'll go to the Dean and I'll tell her everything." "You know, I figured you would, so when I handed in my letter of resignation this morning, I told her you might be coming by to dispute your grade." "I also told her why." "Have a safe trip back." "Why did I sleep with him?" "Baby, that's the title of my autobiography."

"I have a business to run." "And you and I have no business at all." "To be honest, I wasn't sure if you'd even show up." "And I'm sorry again for coming by your house unannounced like that." "Quinn, seriously." "Say what's on your mind." "Well, I know this is going to sound strange coming from me, but I have been in counseling." "And it's helped me realize I was a fool to let you go." "If I had to do it all over again, if I could go back to that night on your balcony, I would make a different decision." "My life hasn't been the same since we broke up." "I mean, you and me, we were good together." "We made a great team." "And I want that back." "I want you back." "And I'm truly sorry for everything I've put you through." "Can we..." "Put the past behind us and try again?" "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to laugh." "I really didn't." "Okay, I'm just... this must be a joke." "I'm dead serious, Val." "Quinn..." "This is too little and way too late." "I have a boyfriend now." "And besides, you had ample time to make things right." "And you chose not to." "Okay, I had a fiancee." "But I handled that." "You handled that?" "I'm sorry, but if my memory serves me correctly, it was" "Shelly who called off the wedding and left you." "Okay, whatever." "The point is I'm here right now and I'm baring my soul." "Eight months ago, you were trying to rush me." "You can't rush a man into making a decision like that." "But I got here on my own." "So give me credit for stepping up and saying I don't want to throw away what we had." "I'm ready for you now." "Quinn, it is so over between you and me." "Did you hear a word I said?" "I am with someone." "And if you don't know by now who that is, let me be the one to tell you." "It's Jerry." "Jerry who?" "Waters." "Of all the dudes in the world to date, you picked the owner of my team?" "How do you think that makes me look?" "I don't give a damn how that makes you look." "This isn't about you." "I have absolutely no consideration for you when it comes to living my life." "I would have never expected this from you." "I know I messed up." "But damn..." "You don't get a dude back like that." "That." "I can't believe Quinn said all that." "What did he think?" "That you were just going to sit around and wait for him to have his aha moment?" "Probably." "I've dealt with my fair share of athletes and entertainers." "And some of their egos are bigger than the stadiums they play in." "But then again, so is some of their equipment." "I guess it's not their fault." "What they want is either thrown at them or they buy it." "They don't have to try to earn anything because they think they deserve everything." "Hence the ignorance he was spewing out today." "I'm glad you laughed in his face." "I did it before I could stop myself." "I find it ironic that he plays with balls for a living, but didn't have any to marry me." "Val, don't yell at me, but I have a question." "Did you even for a flicker of a second consider it?" "Consider what?" "Whoa!" "Hear me out." "This was a guy who, not so long ago, you were madly in love with and wanted to spend the rest of your life with." "I'm just asking, did it stir up anything?" "Hell no." "I didn't feel a thing." "I just wondered why men have to lose you before they realize that you mean something to them." "Women do that too." "I should know." "True, but we're talking about men right now." "And a lot of them think of us as accessories." "If we're not the watch that goes with that particular suit, they just pick another one." "Well, I guess he finally remembered that I am the classic piece that goes with everything." "Sometimes people have to learn a hard lesson." "And Quinn's hard lesson is you." "Yes." "For the rest of his life, he will always know you are the one who got away." "I know this sounds mean..." "But after all he put me through," "I can't think of a better outcome." "Pfft!" "I can." "It involves us going to a game and cheering for all the points he's making..." "From the bench." "Ha ha!" "Oh!" "Right?" "Oh!" "Right?" "Yes!" "Ha!" "♪ Uphill battle ♪" "♪ can't drag me any further ♪ oh, I didn't know you'd be home so early." "I'll go get dressed." "I'll go get dressed." "It's okay." "Do what?" "Get out of the shower and sit on the couch in a wet towel and eat a bowl of cereal." "My husband, as uptight as he was... he used to do the same thing." "Yo, it's safe to say we're friends now, right?" "Yeah." "How come this is the first time you've ever said anything rsonal about you or your husband?" "Like, why don't you ever talk about what happened with you guys?" "Because it's hard." "Besides, if you've been watching the news recently, you'd know all about us." "Well, I'm asking you, not the news." "Maybe you've never been through anything like this before, but it's kind of like a wound that won't heal." "When I talk about it, I feel like it's happening all over again." "I have been through something like that." "Yeah?" "Big-time, yeah." "I was 19 when I got famous." "There was girls, drugs." "Parties were everywhere." "And I got lost in it all..." "Embarrassed the group, embarrassed my family, embarrassed myself." "Every mistake I made was on tmz or Youtube." "I know they're just doing their jobs, but the press can be so heartless." "Yeah, they may have fired the gun, but I'm the one that kept giving them the ammo and putting the target on my back." "Why are we talking and not writing this down?" "This is the type of stuff that we should be putting in a song." "All right." "Hold my food." "Oh." "Okay." "Mm." "All right." "Get the beat." "Nice."

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." "Sorry we're late." "April overslept." "She was up all night making sweet music with Reed." "Mm." "Real music or sex music?" "Real music." "Technically, I'm still married, remember?" "She practically saw him naked." "Well, did your eyes at least get some, or are they technically still married, too?" "He had on a towel and a tank top." "That hardly counts as naked." "But he's still pretty hot." "However, I am not going there." "You wear this mansion well." "I know." "It's just my size." "And it smells great in here." "Keisha, you get an "a" for effort already." "That's my praline french toast casserole." "Don't ask." "I got the recipe from Paula deen." "So, if you don't like it, email her." "This is Malcolm's father, Mr. Franks." "I just want to let you two know up front that I'm spoken for." "By who, pops?" "I'll tell you..." "As soon as these beautiful young ladies introduce themselves." "I'm April." "And I'm Val." "Nice to meet you." "Do pretty women always hang out in groups?" "I mean, the confusion you must cause all the men..." "I mean, who do you flirt with first?" "Well, I see where Malcolm gets his gift of gab, don't you," "Keisha?" "They are double trouble, for sure." "Oh, please don't pump his head up." "I didn't get it from him." "He learned from me." "As much as we enjoy watching two handsome men fight for our attention, it's time to eat." "I love to eat." "What's up, Malcolm?" "I guess my invitation got lost in the mail." "Everybody..." "This is my little brother, Terrence." "What the hell are you doing what the hell are you doing here?" "What do you mean what am I doing here?" "I'm here to see my Big Brother." "Tonya said she couldn't make it, so I figured you might want a little more family at your a little more family at your family brunch." "Well, your sister said she might mention it to him." "I was hoping if he came, you two would work things out." "The feud's gone on too long, Malcolm." "Hey, pops." "You miss me?" "Give me a hug, boy." "Now, I raised you to be a gentleman, and there are women in the room." "I see." "Hello, gorgeous." "This is my girlfriend, Keisha." "Nice to meet you." "You too, Keisha." "And this is Val, and that's April." "April." "I know where I want to sit." "I can tell you're not okay." "Is there anything I can do?" "No." "Please don't do anything." "Hmm." "Just let me handle my brother." "Okay, you're the boss." "Hmm." "I just said that to make you smile." "Don't get all happy." "Don't get all happy." "The music business, huh?" "I got a couple boys that I met on the inside that rap." "Maybe when they get out, you can hook them up." "Well..." "We'll see about that." "Hey, Val, what's up with you?" "You got a man?" "Mm-hmm." "Yep, I do." "And I'm really devoted to him, too." "Thanks, though." "He ain't that devoted to you, or else he'd be here." "So why don't you give me your number?" "I mean, I can tell you need a little thug passion in your life." "Didn't Keisha do a wonderful job on the brunch?" "Malcolm and I wanted you to know that we didn't fall off the face of the earth." "So we figured if we distract you with some good food, you'll forgive us for disappearing." "Well, now I understand." "I mean, I was about to start taking it personal that you weren't returning my phone calls." "I thought maybe you weren't happy that your baby brother was out of jail." "But, uh, we still need to take care of that unfished business we got." "Now's not the time for that, son." "Yeah, I'm not talking business right now, t." "There's not a lot to talk about." "You can just buy me out today, man." "This conversation can be over." "We can make this really simple." "Would anybody else like seconds or something else to drink?" "You guys tell me... if you had turned a mom-and-pop jewelry store into a international operation worth tens of millions of dollars and you had a brother like me who had just gotten out, would you stop him from getting the money that's" "rightfully his?" "Uh, Terrence..." "Maybe you and Malcolm should talk about this in private." "And maybe you should stay out of family business." "I wasn't talking to you." "I let you disrupt my brunch, but you ain't disrespecting my girl." "I'm the one being disrespected." "I did time for your ass..." "And this is how you treat me?" "All right, boys, it's over." "Ladies, I apologize." "I'll call you in the morning, Malcolm." "Terrence, let's go." "Terrence, let's go." "Terrence, I said let's go." "Me, babe." "You know something?" "If you had just stayed out of it like I told you to, this never would've happened." "Would've happened." "Next time, listen." "He's just upset." "And I'm just leaving." "Let's go." "That was really intense." "I feel bad." "It was your first get-together with Malcolm." "Not to mention I was loving that french toast casserole." "Paula deen." "So what is the beef between him and his brother?" "Your guess is as good as mine." "He rarely talks about his past." "H." "Come to think of it, I've told him more about mine than he's ever told me about his." "Well, you know, sometimes it's hard for you to find the off switch." "It's like playing double dutch." "We are constantly trying to find the time to, like, jump in." "I stop and listen." "Sometimes." "But still." "He's so guarded and secretive about a lot of things." "He's a man." "They don't talk." "They keep everything locked up." "Until they don't." "And then they vomit their crap all over you." "Like Quinn." "You haven't heard from him again, have you?" "Mm-mm." "He's pretty pissed." "I don't think he'll be calling me anymore." "Did you tell Jerry about it?" "Not yet." "I haven't decided if it's worth mentioning or not." "It's not." "Why not?" "If he finds out later, it could make things weird." "We're sitting here talking about guys not being honest and not communicating, and you're telling Val to do the same thing." "April, men hold everything in because they don't want to look fragile." "Women hold certain things back so men won't find out we already know how fragile they are." "You know what?" "We are walking goddess, and they do not deserve us." "They do not deserve us." "Period." "Deliveries next week." "Thank you." "Thought you were late for your lunch with Jerry." "I am." "I'm leaving now." "Have you talked to Malcolm?" "I'm gonna call him a little later." "We both need to just cool off." "There's a customer in the fitting room." "I was gonna help him before I left, but he specifically asked for you." "Is it Woody?" "If this keeps happening, I might have to register my Kitty Cat with the police department." "It's turning out to be quite a weapon." "No." "This guy actually looks like he could afford to buy something." "Ah." "May I help you?" "I hope so." "You see, I'm in a terrible predicament." "And when I told the other sales girl my problem, she said that you would be the perfect person to help me out." "Why is that?" "I'm in trouble with my girlfriend, and I need to figure out a way to let her know how sorry I am." "You can't just say you're sorry?" "No, no." "She's high maintenance." "A simple "sorry" won't cut it." "If you were my girlfriend, how else could I let you know how sorry I really am?" "You can explain why me having your back was the wrong thing to do." "It wasn't wrong, but I had already asked you to let me handle it." "But you wouldn't have to handle everything by yourself if you let me in." "Okay." "I'm not proud of it, but a long time ago, me and Terrence used to steal cars and sell them to a chop shop." "We were knuckleheads, and we made good money, until my father gave us an ultimatum... go to school, or join the military." "I can't picture you in the military, taking orders." "Yeah, neither could I." "And that's exactly why I smartened up and went to college." "And, you know, within five years of taking over for my pop, we went from one store in Atlanta to branches in Beverly hills," "New York, Zurich, Paris, and Dubai." "So you were the hero, but Terrence made another choice." "And unfortunately it caught up to him." "When the d.A. Finally busted him, they offered to reduce his sentence if he would give up his partners, past and present." "But he wouldn't?" "He told them to go to hell." "So, in his mind, he did the time for both of us, and now he wants me to pay him for it." "It does kind of sound like you owe him, babe." "And if there wasn't more to the story, you'd be right." "Now, I can't prove it, but in my gut, I know that when I was away at school, Terrence arranged to have my pop's jewelry store robbed." "And even though no one was hurt in the robbery, my pops had gotten sick, and didn't update the insurance policy, so the financial loss almost destroyed our family and the business." "Does your father think he did it too?" "He has no idea, and I've been hiding my suspicions." "But that's another conversation for another time." "Right now, I just want to make sure me and my girlfriend are okay." "The house is big enough, so next time you get mad at me, just go over to the other side." "You don't ever have to leave." "Now, how's that for an apology?" "Now, how's that for an apology?" "Pretty damn good." "Push up." "Well, you gonna have to go as hard as you can." "Well, I..." "I can try to..." "I'll meet you on the court, okay?" "Val." "Val, wait, wait." "I'm here to have lunch with Jerry." "I don't want to be late." "Come on." "This'll only take a second." "Ple... come here." "Stop it." "Listen, listen, listen." "My Agent just confirmed that your boyfriend is about to send me over to Washington." "So what does that have to do with me?" "My numbers are way down." "I'm rehabilitating a busted knee, and if I get traded right now, I might as well kiss my career good-bye." "Players get traded all the time." "Yeah, but the only reason Washington would take me is because my contract's up next year, and when they don't renew it, they'll have $8 million to dangle in front of somebody they really want." "Okay, Quinn, stop." "Stop our lives are no longer connected." "Why are you telling me this?" "I need you to talk to Jerry and get him to keep me here and give me some more time to pull my game together." "He might listen to you." "So you don't like that I'm dating Jerry, but as long as you can use it to your advantage, then it's okay?" "Quinn, you reach a new low every time I talk to you." "Wait, wait." "Val, do this for me." "Please." "You're desperate." "And it's not a good look." "First of all, Jerry and I do not discuss business, and even if we did, you would be the last thing either one of us wanted to talk about." "Don't you think I know that?" "You've made it clear how you feel about me." "I get it." "Quinn, let's go, man." "We already behind schedule." "Valerie, if you ever loved me, and I know you did, you'll me, and I know you did, you'll have a heart and do this." "Hi." "Hey, darling." "You look like you're lost." "Oh, no, I just got a little turned around." "Turned around." "Come on." "Thank you for coming." "I hate the fact that missed Keisha's brunch." "I'm glad you didn't make it." "You missed the drama." "Oh?" "Is that what's bothering you?" "Huh?" "Well, I can tell you got something on your mind." "Is it the food?" "'Cause I can get them to bring you something else." "No." "The food is fine." "I just have something to tell you." "Okay." "I had coffee with Quinn the other day." "He wanted to talk." "Let me guess." "He's missing you, and he wants you back." "No." "It's nothing like that." "And I see he's still an idiot when it comes to you." "But th again we didn't hire him for his brains." "That's what he wanted to talk about." "He heard he's being traded." "Then he found out we were dating." "So... he asked me to put in a good word for him." "If I wasn't an ethical businessman, I would trade him just for asking you to do that." "Jerry, you're not trading him because of me, are you?" "Absolutely not, sweetheart." "My personal life never affects my business decisions." "Look, Quinn was supposed to lead this team to the championship." "He isn't performing." "So he has to go to make room for someone who will." "That's understandable." "You're not asking me to not trade him, are you?" "No." "No." "No." "I'm nobody's fool." "And now you got me curious." "Do you still have feelings for Quinn?" "I feel sorry for him." "That's not what I asked you about." "No, I do not have feelings for Quinn." "I spent five years with the man." "And he was always so confident and proud, and when I saw him the other day, he was..." "The other day, he was... broken." "If you say that's all..." "Then I believe that's all." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's bring back memories." "Store's closed, my shirt's off, someone's tugging at my pants." "Oh, if you were 6'4" with a bald head, it'd be just like that night." "I hope I come back as a gay man." "Omar, you're a lifesaver." "There's no way I could get this done without your help." "I'll think of something." "Don't let this go to your head, but your stuff's good." "Most people don't realize that men's tailoring is the hardest thing to do." "I'm desperate." "I have to ace this to stay in the country." "I can't even have one failing grade." "You could always try sleeping with the Dean, too." "I know this is karma for being mean to Aaron." "I guess I could've handled it better." "But I was always honest with him." "Brutally honest." "Actually, you were just brutal." "No, I wasn't." "I said to him over and over, it's just sex." "Christina, some people have different expectations about how relationships work." "Like Vincent." "He's got this philosophy that gay relationships don't have to mimic straight relationships." "What does that mean?" "Meaning what's normal for heterosexual couples doesn't have to be normal for us." "Vincent says we can't get married like them, so why should we date like them?" "We can see other people and still be a couple." "Is that what you want?" "I'm staying open-minded, because I like him." "Seems unfair." "We had dinner, talked about where we stood, and he said he doesn't believe in monogamy." "Least he's honest." "In the past, most guys just lied about it." "Well, as long as gay people don't get jealous like straight people, I think that should be okay." "Just get the pin that's poking me in the ass, please." "Sure." "♪ You got me going insane ♪" "♪ from the pain ♪" "♪ as I slowly start to fall ♪" "♪ I can't look in your eyes ♪" "♪ anymore ♪" "♪ I'm lost in it all ♪ don't stop on my account." "I like it!" "It sounds hot." "Whoa." "What's this?" "Did I just hear something positive about my music from April?" "Yes, you're hearing something positive, because I'm hearing something positive." "I've never heard you say anything good about my music, so I'm not sure I can trust it." "Why not?" "I tell you when it sucks, don't I?" "Yeah, repeatedly." "All right, and I'm telling you, this is good." "Believe it." "I feel like we should kiss or have sex or something." "I mean, we shouldn't let all these good feelings go to waste." "You are such a boy." "You will use any opportunity to take it there." "For the last time, you're not my type." "My type." "Oh." "Up?" "No, we're good." "Better than good." "He gave me a key." "I literally get the keys to the castle." "So why are you slumming over here with me?" "Because I can't become predictable." "He should never know exactly when I'm coming or going." "The element of surprise is essential in a relationship." "That's how they last." "Where do you get this stuff?" "It is truly fascinating." "What's fascinating is that I got my castle, you got your prince, and we've arrived at the same time." "I lied to my prince today." "About the Quinn thing?" "Yes." "I told him that I had coffee with Quinn." "But then when he asked me what we talked about, I left the part out about him asking to get back together." "I don't know why I did that." "My, how the tables have turned." "I used to be the one shading the truth with my men." "Well, it's just too early for things to be messy with Jerry." "Maybe I thought the truth would just make it complicated." "You're not crazy." "It usually does." "Besides, if men really wanted the truth from women, they would ban boob jobs." "So, what time are you going home, to Malcolm, tonight?" "He probably thinks I'll get there in an hour." "Which means I can't get there for at least three." " You're serious, aren't you?" " Yes." "And guess who's waiting by my car?" "Woody." "He jumped on the hood, started making "Please, Keisha, please, give me one last time."" "You thought I was joking." "But I have to go to the police department and register this." "Your girl..." " she's dangerous..." " Keish..." " Double dutch!" " What?" "You're talking too much." " Find the off-switch." " Fine." "I don't know why I'm wasting time talking to you anyway, when there are innocent lives at stake." "Is this the police department?" "I need the Special Weapons division." "You are stupid." "But I love it." "I know you do." "And that's why you're gonna listen to the rest of the story." "Okay, so now Woody jumped on the car..." ""What are you doing?" "Get out of the way."" "Next, on Single Ladies..." "We are gonna have French onion soup," "***" "There is no way you can rag about a menu like that and expect me not to invite myself." " The more the merrier." " Me and Vincent know how to be married," " Me too." " Dinner for ten it is." "Pleasure, Miss Phillips." "Here's a copy of Reed's single." "***" "My Mercedes has both and a custom subwoofer." " ***" " Oh." "Keep taking care of me, please." "Come on, you know you'll always have a special place with me."
