CURTIS, CURTIS, FOR REAL, FOR

REAL, FOR REAL.

LOOK, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT -- SHE

AIN'T GONNA NOTICE IT.

I MEAN, WOMEN DON'T EVEN NOTICE

YOU COULD PUT A PICTURE OVER IT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I OPENED UP

A VIDEO STORE IN MY SHED IN MY

BACKYARD, AND VANITA AIN'T SEEN

IT, AND IT'S BEEN 3 YEARS NOW.

YOU SHUT UP.

WE GOT TO CALL THAT CONTRACTOR

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, NO

GIVE-BACKS.

NO, NO WHAT? COME ON.

WELL, I MEAN, LIKE, YOU KNOW,

IN GRADE SCHOOL.

I WAS TRYING TO BE PLAYFUL.

OKAY.

I GUESS IT JUST CAME ACROSS

AS SILLY.

NO, NO, NO, NO. PLAYFUL IS

GOOD.

REALLY.

YOU ARE ALREADY AHEAD OF CURTIS.

EXCUSE ME?

UM, UH...

PAUL, REALLY, I CANNOT...

ACCEPT THIS BEAUTIFUL BRACELET.

YOU KNOW, I CAN'T HELP IT.

THANK YOU.

I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE

TIME.

LOOK, ELLA, I KNOW YOU'RE

MARRIED.

PAUL, PLEASE.

BUT I --

YES?

I FIND MYSELF REALLY

ATTRACTED TO YOU.

AND I HOPE I'M NOT BEING TOO

FORWARD, BUT I JUST BELIEVE THAT

WHEN A MAN SEES A BEAUTIFUL

WOMAN, HE SHOULD TELL HER JUST

EXACTLY HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE REALLY

IS.

HOW BEAUTIFUL AM I?

DON'T ANSWER THAT.

I MEAN -- I MEAN, I KNOW THAT

I'M BEAUTIFUL.

BUT, PAUL, I REALLY -- WE

JUST -- YOU KNOW -- WAIT, WAIT,

WAIT, WAIT.

WHAT YOU DOING?

YOU ARE TOO BEAUTIFUL.

YOU'RE TOUCHING ME.

OKAY.

I'M SORRY.

THAT WAS WAY OUT OF LINE.

YES, IT WAS.

YEAH, I SHOULDN'T SAY THINGS

LIKE THAT TO YOU.

I THINK I BETTER GO.

OKAY.

OKAY, PAUL, WAIT.

REALLY, UM...

IT REALLY IS OKAY.

WE'RE GROWN PEOPLE.

ELLA.

BUT...

THERE'S A PREACHER AT MY

CHURCH.

HE'S PREACHING THIS BIG REVIVAL

TONIGHT.

HE'S A GREAT PREACHER.

SO, WHY DON'T YOU AND I GO

LISTEN TO HIM?

AND THEN MAYBE AFTERWARDS, WE

CAN GO GRAB SOME DINNER.

WHOO.

WHAT, IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH

THAT?

MNH-MNH, NO, NO, NO NO.

WHOO!

SO CAN YOU FIX IT?

HELL, I CAN FIX JUST ABOUT

ANYTHING.

JUST DEPENDS ON, YOU KNOW,

WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN AFFORD

IT.

DON'T I KNOW YOU?

I-I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW NO ONE, NO.

YOU'RE THE CAT THAT -- YOU'RE

THE CAT THAT RENTED THAT

APARTMENT TO C.J., MY NEPHEW.

OH, YEAH!

OH, YEAH, I REMEMBER YOU.

OH, YOU MUST BE C.J.

A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE THAT

MISTAKE, YEAH.

LOOK, I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE

REAL-ESTATE BUSINESS, YOU KNOW?

YOU CAN'T IGNORE A COURT ORDER.

WAIT A MINUTE.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WAS GONNA

HIRE RICO?

OH, UH, ABOUT THAT.

YOU'RE NOT JOKING?

I'M NOT JOKING.

OKAY.

WELL, THAT'LL WORK.

THANK YOU, COURTNEY.

BYE-BYE.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

SO, HE ASKED YOU OUT TO DINNER?

[ GIGGLES ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

WELL, NOBODY EVER ASKED ME

OUT THAT LOOKED LIKE THAT.

THAT'S A HOT GUY.

WHAT ABOUT CARLOS?

CARLOS ISN'T HOT.

YES, HE IS.

NO, MAMITA, CARLOS IS

LUKEWARM.

IN FACT, "CARLOS HERNANDEZ"

MEANS THAT IN SPANISH --

"LUKEWARM."

[ SPEAKS SPANISH ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

OH, DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT YOUR

FRIEND JUST WALKED IN!

HEY, ROSIE.

HI, PAUL.

SO, ELLA, WHERE'S YOUR

HUSBAND?

[ CHUCKLES ]

WELL, MY HUSBAND CANNOT GO.

DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE NOT

GOING?

YES, SHE CAN.

NO, I CAN'T.

IT'S JUST DINNER.

THE LAST SUPPER.

I MADE RESERVATIONS AT THIS

NEW ITALIAN PLACE.

WONDERFUL.

PAUL, NO, NO, NO.

I-I CAN'T.

I CAN'T DO THIS.

NO, I CANNOT.

I CAN'T DO THIS.

ELLA, ELLA.

IT'S JUST DINNER.

PAUL, TO YOU IT IS.

IT STARTS OUT ALL INNOCENT.

AND THEN YOU GIVE THE DEVIL AN

INCH, HE TAKES A MILE.

DEVIL?

NO, I'M NOT CALLING YOU THE

DEVIL.

I JUST REALLY CAN'T.

I CAN'T DO THIS.

I CAN'T DO DINNER.

BUT THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF ME.

WELL, I GUESS THERE'S REALLY

NO --

MWAH!

THANK YOU.

OH, WELL.

I GUESS YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

I DON'T KNOW.

YES, I DID.

IF HE HAD KISSED ME ON THE

HAND LIKE THAT, I WOULD HAVE

GONE.

OH, WELL.

YOU CAN ALWAYS GO HOME TO CURTIS

NOW.

PAUL!

PAUL? PAUL?

WHY IS THERE A LITTLE BOY

DRIVING A PICKUP TRUCK IN OUR

YARD?

[ Normal voice ] I HIRED HIM.

HE'S GONNA FIX THE FOUNDATION,

OKAY.

$5,000. THAT'S IT.

JUST $5,000, CURTIS?

YES, MA'AM.

NO.

THAT -- THAT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO

BE TRUE, CURTIS.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS JUST GO

WITH THE ESTIMATE OF $15,000 AND

THAT PROFESSIONAL MAN.

WHAT? ELLA!

WHAT AM I GONNA DO THAT FOR?

THE MAN'S CHARGING $5,000.

HE'S GONNA DO THE SAME THING.

HE'S GONNA MESS UP, CURTIS.

BABY, I HIRED SOMEBODY.

YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO DO IT, SO

NOW I GOT SOMEBODY TO DO IT.

WE GOOD.

OKAY, OKAY.

HE'S GONNA DO IT.

YEAH, HE GOT IT.

HOW LONG IS IT GONNA TAKE,

CURTIS?

HE GONNA DO IT RIGHT AFTER HE

YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE

WALL?

WHAT WALL, CURTIS?

WELL, FLOYD CAME OVER --

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I -- MNH-MNH.

I DON'T--I DON'T EVEN WANT TO

HEAR IT.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW.

OKAY.

I THOUGHT YOU WAS GONNA BE LATE

TONIGHT.

UM, I DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO

THAT CHURCH.

YOU KNOW HOW CHURCHES ARE.

I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST

IF I COME HOME AND I SPEND THE

EVENING WITH MY HUSBAND.

OH, THAT'S GREAT, BABY.

I LIKE THAT WHEN MY BABY DO

THAT, 'CAUSE I'M HUNGRY.

[ BANGING ]

UH-OH!

OH...THAT'S NOT GOOD.

WHAT?

CURTIS?

OH, BOY, NEITHER IS THAT.

[ BANGING ]

OH, SHEET ROCK!

LOOK, UH, IT'S TIME TO GO.

YOU OUGHT TO GET OUT OF HERE,

WAIT A MINUTE.

I PAID YOU $5,000 TO FIX THE

HOUSE.

WELL, I'M GONNA HAVE TO

ADJUST THAT ESTIMATE, I'M

AFRAID.

OKAY, MR. JIM, HOW MUCH ARE

WE GONNA HAVE TO PAY YOU NOW?

OH, IT'S GONNA BE ABOUT, UH,

$50,000.

CURTIS!

[ LAUGHS ]

HE ALMOST GOT ME AGAIN!

YOU ALMOST DID AGAIN, BOY.

NO, IT'S NOT A JOKE.

I'M TELLING YOU, IF YOU DO NOT

GET SOME SUPPORT UNDERNEATH THAT

WALL, THIS WHOLE HOUSE IS GONNA

COLLAPSE.

OKAY, BUT THIS IS OUR HOME.

WELL, LOOK, I KNOW.

I CANNOT FIX IT WITH JUST A

PICKUP TRUCK AND A 6-YEAR-OLD,

ALL RIGHT?

YOU GOT TO GET A PROFESSIONAL.

LOOK, YOU GOT TO GET OUT.

I'M TELLING YOU, THIS IS NOT

GONNA BE YOUR HOME FOR LONG.

THIS HOUSE IS GONNA MOVE FASTER

THAN A TRAILER IN A TORNADO.

CURTIS!

WAIT A MINUTE!

YOU GET BACK HERE AND FIX THIS

HOUSE, JIM!

HE GOT MY MONEY!

GIVE ME MY MONEY!
