Hey, Cor.

Hey. Hey, you ready for lunch? I sure am. I've been looking forward to this.

Woo -wee, me too.

So, what do we have?

Excuse me, aren't you the one trying to get me back?

I sure am.

We can talk about that while you throw some lunch together.

Now, what makes you think you can come over here and order me around like I'm

your maid?

Hold it a minute.

Did you or did you not say, quote, sure, Reggie, I'd like to get together for

lunch, unquote.

Yes, but that doesn't mean you come over here for me to cook for you. It

doesn't? No.

Man, I read that wrong. You sure did.

Oh, well.

What you got to eat?

Did it ever occur to you to take me out to lunch?

Why, you out of food?

Oh, come on, Cora, now. I'm just kidding. Let's go.

I'm not going anywhere with you looking like you looking.

Oh, now, what is wrong with how I'm looking?

Your shirt has more holes than shirt.

Do you know how long it's taken for me to break this shirt in? Well, I'm

surprised it hasn't broken you out. Look at all those stains.

Look like you've been in a food fight.

Well, actually, this one is from a food fight. You see, me and Mama was arguing

about who was going to wash the dishes, and I said, come on now, you know this

is your year.

Reggie, you should do your best if you want to be back with me.

Oh, I thought we was past showing off for each other. Is that what you've been

doing, showing off? I read that wrong. What the what?

What the what?

You read what wrong? I don't say nothing when you let your hair down around me.

What are you talking about? What am I talking about? What are you talking

When you wore them pink rollers to church.

Pink rollers? That was my hat, sir.

Oh. And what about the matching lunchbox, ma 'am?

Lunchbox? That was my purse. You know what?

You need to leave.

All right, all right, Cora, I'm sorry.

I'm going to try to look better for you.

There you go.

Get out.

Are you sure that that was a purse?

I said get out.

Oh, malaria?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was last month.

Okay. So you can pick me up after you check out.

And I want to go to a real fancy restaurant.

Like the Waffle House or something.

Oh, hey.

You know what? I'm going to have to cancel. I met somebody else.

Oh! What you doing with your fingers? Hey!

I will rip that finger off and stick it up your... Renee!

I see your bedside man still needs a little work.

You know what? I should have pulled the plug on that ungrateful cancer surviving

joke. Okay, who's next?

Well, there's this really cute guy in pediatrics.

No.

Where are all the patients?

Oh, I sent them home.

Why? Because I'm getting on my nerves.

They're all, like, coughing and whining.

I just told them to come back tomorrow.

send people home on a whim?

No, most of them went home on a bus.

If you don't call and get those patients back here now, Renee, I'm gonna... I

know, I know, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta write me up. Do you know

there is a vein just throbbing right there on your forehead?

Renee!

Renee?

Michael!

Well,

that's a little better, I guess.

Oh, my God, what are you doing here? It's been years. I just came for a

You look great.

I know.

I just got off my break.

You want to go get some coffee?

You know what? Maybe later.

Oh,

there's cough drops in my purse for 25 cents.

Come on. Let's go.

All right. You know what? I'm Sasha, the charge nurse.

How you doing? I'm Michael Welsh.

We used to date.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Would you like to come on back, Mr. Welsh?

Uh, yeah.

Now, get your own man.

I have a husband. Now, don't you have some things to do, Renee? No.

Yes. No. Yes. No.

Yes. Fine.

Yeah, I will, I'm gonna come see you later. Okay. All right.

Okay.

Mm.

Yeah, okay.

All right, yeah.

Renee, okay.

Mm -hmm.

Man, that sure does look good.

Not as good as it tastes.

Okay, what you doing here anyway?

This is where all the food is.

Well, don't touch my food. Ow!

Come on, Mr. Brown.

Can I get a piece?

Yeah.

Peace out. Bye.

Too tired tonight.

I just ran over to Secor.

Whoa! Put your arms down. Smell it like wolf butt.

Wait a minute. You ran all the way over here from your house?

No, no.

From the bus stop.

Man, I think I just dropped my hat over there.

Man, I'll get it.

Wait, wait, wait. It's further than you think.

I almost passed out. I think it's on the incline, Dad.

Boy, you pathetic.

Here you go.

here, so go home. Bye.

Reggie, what are you doing here?

Sitting there sweating on my genuine Oriental rug that I got from Mexico.

I just came over from a long -distance run. I just came from a long -distance

run.

Why you put the C in stupid?

You should have ran home and got some decent clothes like I asked you.

Hey, hey, I did go home to change, but my pants were so tight that the button

popped off and nearly knocked out one of Mama's teeth.

Wait, is she okay?

Yeah, they were sitting on top of the TV, but she was still mad.

Reggie, I would love to sit here and listen to your pitiful excuses, but I

errands to run. But... But nothing. But, but... Man, she's disgusted by me.

Trust me, she's not the only one. She's not the only one.

Man, I got to get myself together quick.

Boy, the quickest thing I ever seen you do is bloat. Just... Come on, Mr. Brown.

Let's help a brother out.

Okay, you're right.

Brother, I... Come on, Brown. Now I'm serious.

I am too. Look,

if you're serious, you're going to have to change from head to toe.

Women like an independent man who is tall, dark, and handsome.

Yep. Four out of four for me.

Zero out of four for you.

With a smile that can light up a room.

See, I got to beat women off with a stick.

Them girls you date look like you need to throw them a stick. Just fetch, girl.

All right.

So tall, dark, and handsome with a smile that lights up the room. I could do

that. Yeah, I'm the spirit.

Hey, boy, you can't do nothing.

You need to get you a myrtle.

What's that?

It's a man girdle.

And a broadhead fit. What are you, a D -cup?

Ha, ha, ha.

Very funny.

Look, I'm going to do whatever it takes to win Cora's heart back. Yeah, get him.

You looking at the new and improved independent Reggie Brooks. Yeah, go get

Whoa. Can a brother get a ride to the bus stop?

Go.

So great.

I cannot believe I nearly fell off three times. I can't believe you never rode a

mechanical bull before.

Well, not in a bar.

Do you know you're three hours late?

Is that Prince's new song?

How does the melody go?

All those people you sent home are back.

It's a madhouse in here.

Okay, we'll tell all the people that came today to come back tomorrow.

Promise all.

Yay! So what do we do with them tomorrow?

Sasha, I cannot think of everything. Come on, I'm only one person.

Renee, fix this.

Now.

And don't tell anyone to come back tomorrow.

Okay, I'm gonna go.

Why? Oh, you got a lot of work to do. No, just wait. I'm gonna fix it. It's

right there. Attention!

Attention!

Everyone with rash, take aloe. Everyone with pain, take aspirin. Everyone else,

take care.

Go.

Get out your seats. Go.

Hurry up. I got something to do. Go, go, go, go, go, go.

See? I'm all yours.

I always did like your take charge style. I know you did.

I remember.

Remember, um... Uh... Yes.

Yes, we had to borrow a bolt cutter so I could go to work. I know.

I still have those.

We could do it again tonight.

That sounds great, sweetie, but there's something I really need to talk to you

about. Oh, what? I already know. Everybody always says, don't do the

tight. No, I'm kidding. Not this time. Not this time. No.

Oh, you know what? We can go to room 306 so we don't have to wait till tonight.

No, no, no.

No. Honestly, that sounds nice, but there's something that I wanted to tell

You got religion.

No. No.

You're married?

You know what?

We can't go to my house.

Renee, I'm not married. Oh, good.

Because I do not date married men anymore after that golfer.

Look, Renee.

I'm HIV positive.

Excuse me?

I have HIV.

You're positive?

Yes.

And I did not want to tell you like this. Well, wait a minute. I thought we

about to... No, no, no, no. We weren't. We weren't. Look, I wouldn't let that

happen.

When? When did this happen?

I don't know.

I mean, come on. You know how I was.

I didn't have any boundaries in my life. I was just doing what I wanted to do. I

didn't really think about the consequences.

Why are you here?

To get treatment.

And to talk to you about it. So wait a minute. Tell me, did this happen while

were together? I told you, Renee. I don't know.

You know what?

You need to go. I got work to do. Can't we just talk? No, we cannot just talk.

There's nothing to talk about. Leave me alone.

Renee.

What?

I'm sorry that this happened. No, it didn't just happen, Michael.

It didn't. You did this.

You did this.

You hear? Just leave.

Go, Michael, go!

Are you okay?

Michael just told me he has HIV.

I know.

What do you mean you know?

How do you know?

He told me.

When were you going to tell me?

Before or after my funeral?

No, Renee.

You know I'm not allowed to disclose a patient's medical history. No, Sasha, I

don't care about any damn rules.

Renee, this is my life, Sasha.

But I was just trying to do my job. No, Sasha, you are my friend. You are

supposed to tell me.

I guess I just don't know you either. Sasha, Sasha, no. Renee, don't do this.

Sasha, don't. Renee.

Mm

-mm,

that sounds good.

All right, now remember, add water and let it bake for 45 minutes, okay?

What?

Oh, you thought I wanted the recipe.

No, I just want you to make it.

You're so silly.

Dad, 1 -9 -9.

Dad, 1 -9 -9.

It's 9 -1. one, Mr. Brown, and what's wrong? Corby, it's an orange man out

chasing me. He keep calling my name.

What? Yeah, a big orange man.

Corby, that's him. Corby, if anything happened to your daddy, tell my story.

tell it. That'll be a comedy.

Get the door, boy.

It sounds like Reggie.

Whoa!

Looks like Count Chocula.

Nuh -uh, that's Fat Man of the Opera.

Mr. Brown, I was trying to get your attention. Whoa, look at that boy's

Why you swallow the sun?

What? No, I just got a tan and my teeth whitened. It's all a part of my new

image. You like it, Cora?

It's stupid.

Stop it.

It's fine.

It's nothing.

Yeah, it's something you ought to be ashamed of. What? I did what you told me

do. Don't blame me for that.

What do you think, Cora?

Well, I think it looks stupid.

I just told you.

Well, I think you look fine.

Well, thank you, Cora.

Whoa!

Boy, it's just a touch -up. What are you touching up with, 40 weeks?

Boy, if you start sweating, you're going to look like a tiger.

The barber said it makes me look like a 20 -year -old.

A 20 -year -old sweet potato?

Oh, stop it. I think Reggie looks... He looks good. The barber, you're just

blinded by his teeth.

Well, thank you here, Cora.

And now I'm going to take you for a night out on the town.

Well, how about we stay in and watch a movie in the dark with the shades down?

No, no, no, no!

What the...

No, ma 'am.

I know I'm fly, but don't be shy.

Well, let me get my keys.

Wait for me, please.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I'm going to drive.

Really? You a lie.

Your mommy let you use the bus?

That was the old Reggie. The new Reggie has a new ride.

You a lie.

You have a car?

My tangerine homie.

Citrus.

Mademoiselle, your chariot awaits in the back.

Oh, I know this idiot ain't bought no chariot.

Let's go see. I know it's something stupid. Come on.

Can

we

talk?

Listen to me.

We are friends.

The only reason I didn't tell you was because Michael wanted to tell you

himself.

Please, you can't be mad at me for that. I'm not mad at you, Sasha.

This whole thing just got me all freaked out.

It's gonna be all right.

Yeah, that's easy for you to say.

You're not the one sitting here waiting for some HIV results.

And Michael doesn't even look sick.

Let him.

Hey, look, I know you don't want to hear this, but the responsibility lies on

both of you. I know, Sasha, I know.

It's HIV, though.

What am I going to do?

You are just going to stay positive.

No, no, no, no, no, that's not what I meant. No, listen, Renee.

Honey, your results are going to be back any minute.

And we are going to hope and pray for the best.

I'm sorry.

I know, honey. I know. I know.

Hi.

I'm going to go check on the results, okay?

Hey, look, I know I'm the last person that you want to see right now, but I

wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry that I hurt you.

We both had a part in it.

Is there anything I can do?

And do you want me to stay? I'll sit and wait with you. Thank you for telling

me, though.

All right, well, if you need me, you know where to find me.

Do you want me to stay?

No, thank you, God.

than a chariot. It's a reverse convertible. A top and no sides.

No sides? Boy, you have four sides with dessert.

Wait,

you rented a golf cart?

Rented? I got this for free. My cousin works at a country club. All I had to do

was fish a few golf balls out of the pond.

Boy, this is more country than club.

That's a good one, Mr. Brown. That's a good one. Oh, no, it's not.

Come on, Cora. We got reservations to a four -star restaurant.

Really, Reggie?

Well, actually, it's two two -star restaurants, but we're going to hit the

-thru at both of them.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

My brothers ain't going to believe this. No, no, get me in there. Get me. Look

at that.

Wham. Say cheese.

No, say Reggie.

Four sticks of butter.

Hey, where are you plugging in at, Tiger? Oh, very funny, Derek.

Y 'all ain't going to be laughing when we ride off into the sunset.

Yes, we are.

Hey, Reggie, hold up, hold up. You're not going to open the door for Carver?

Oh, it don't have no doors.

Y 'all need to stop meddling.

Wait, what?

We can't hear you. Roll the window down.

Don't worry about them, Reggie. I appreciate the effort. It's so sweet.

HIV and AIDS are spreading in our communities.

We have to protect ourselves against this deadly disease.

Abstinence and practicing safe sex are two ways in which we can do that.

African Americans account for nearly 50 % of those infected by HIV and AIDS.

Let's get a dialogue started and share vital information with our friends.

But most importantly, be safe.

Get tested.

Your life depends on it.
