I get the whole point of the movie was, if you're going to go to jail for life,

do it with Eddie Murphy.

Yeah, that guy cracks me up.

Hey, coffee's all around.

Sounds good. You're the man, Dad.

I know.

Isn't Devlin great?

I mean, don't you just love him? Oh, yeah.

He's something. Gosh, I miss double dating with you guys. I mean, now we can

a foursome again. Go everywhere together.

Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, except for Devlin has that laugh.

Laugh? Tia, don't tell me you didn't hear it throughout the entire movie.

Brother's adenoids were jamming in surround sound.

He has a great sense of humor.

Tia, it's a weird, nervous laugh, and I don't even think he knows he does it.

Well, neither do I.

I've been going out with Devlin for three weeks now, and I have never

his laugh.

I gotta feel it real for me, like you got to do what's right for you.

Apparently, she did.

I gotta go, Nadine. Somebody without a life is listening in.

I'll see you Friday.

I was not listening in.

So, where are you going Friday?

Nadine got us tickets to go to the opening of Ragdive.

Oh, that's nice. Two dateless women taking each other out a night on the

You need to grow up, Ray.

Nadine and I can relax.

A bit more trouble than they were.

Hello, trouble.

Hey, Victor Sims!

Is that alpha man in this house a fight?

Why, you son of a gun!

What are you doing in Detroit?

I'm moving back. I just got back into town and I wanted to stop by and say hi.

Oh, man, that's great. Look, how long has it been? Ten years?

Now who's lying?

Well, I don't know, but I'd sure like to find out.

Lisa, this is Victor Sims, my old running buddy from college days.

Well, hello, Victor.

Ray, you lucky dog.

No, no, no, we're not, I mean, we don't, I mean, this is just... Ray and I are

Oh, thanks.

Oh, well, honey, this is a treat to actually see your face at dinner.

You haven't been hanging around much lately since you started dating that

um... Dilbert.

It's Devlin. Oh, I thought we were going to meet this Dev -an.

As soon as you learn his name.

Hey,

guys.

Mmm, smells great.

Hey, well, why don't you join us? It'll give us a chance to catch up.

Sorry, I'm going to a spoken word showcase.

salad. Well, great. I love spoken word. How about I join you?

Well, Jordan and I might be meeting another couple.

By another couple, do you mean Tyreek and Ginger?

You know, Tia, Jordan may have mentioned something about them possibly sharing a

table with us. Yeah.

Oh, I see.

Well, cool.

You guys have a good time.

I keep Friday open? Too much?

I can't. Um, Devlin and I were going to the movies, but I do want to hang out.

You know, you and me. Yeah, yeah, me too, but I gotta jet. I hear all the

words are spoken early.

Bye. Bye.

Hey,

honey,

you know, doing your own thing is a healthy part of growing up.

Oh, I know. I mean, it's not like we're... standing around wondering what

other one is doing.

I wonder what he is doing.

Womanhood.

Motherhood.

Sisterhood.

Does not each of us follow the next out of the womb?

Am I not your sister?

Why do we float in the sea of betrayal, trapped on the desert of disruption?

I have failed myself, and I have failed my sister.

You ever get a grip?

Look, Tia is seeing someone new, and so is Tyreek. It's no big deal.

It is to me.

Now, look, ever since Tia and Tyreek broke up, I feel like I can't go out

one without hurting the other.

I hear you on that.

Well, look, after tonight, we'll avoid all the drama and just go out by

ourselves. Bet. And if either of them asks us to double, we say no way. Cool?

Cool. Cool.

Hey, sorry we're late. Hey.

Hi, what's up?

It is now time for our raffle.

The prize for free tickets to the Tony -winning musical, Ragtime.

And the winning number is... MSF

816. Whoa, that's me!

That's me, yeah!

You got four tickets to Ragtime? Yes! You guys want to double date?

and I are going to the opening of Ragtime.

What?

How could you afford those tickets? They're through the roof.

We sort of won them.

I don't believe you.

Why?

What have you heard?

I don't believe you won two tickets to Ragtime and didn't even tell me.

Oh, well, just goes to show you how to touch we are.

I'd really love to stay and talk about it to you, but I've got to go. Bye.

My pleasure.

Why, hello, Victor.

I forgot you were stopping by tonight.

Lisa, you look sensational.

Really? Just a little something I threw on.

I'm on my way to see Ragtime.

Lisa's Nadine.

Hello. I'll get us a cup of cold ones. Oh, hey, Ray.

Oh, well.

Well, feel better, hon.

No, no, no, don't worry. I'm sure I can find somebody to go with me tonight.

Okay, bye.

That was Nadine. She's got a migraine and can't make it.

Oh, gee, what a shame.

I guess I wouldn't be a gentleman unless I offered to be your escort tonight.

And I wouldn't be a lady if I didn't say yes.

forward to hanging out with you tonight.

You let me take care of Ray.

Page me from the car.

My fingers are already in motion.

Hey, Vic, get ready for some big fun.

Oh, I am ready, Freddy.

Oh.

Oh, man, what a shame.

since I came to town. How about a game of darts before you go? Hey, thanks for

understanding, buddy. Look, we'll do it again real soon.

Hey, bye!

Bye!

Hey,

Ray.

Hey, T, I thought you were going to the movie.

Nope. Devlin canceled.

Hey, when's your friend getting here?

He came and he left.

Sandwich?

What are we moping around for? It's Friday night.

What do you say we paint the town red? Just the two of us.

You mean it?

Sure I do.

Tonight, all of Detroit will be at your feet. Where do you want to go?

Tickets? Tickets?

No,

thank you.

We have our own.

And they didn't cost a penny.

Tickets?

Tickets.

Oh, no.

It's sold out.

Don't let those two little words ruin your evening.

No, thank you. We don't buy from scalpers. But we do support the small

man. Excuse us.

Are you waiting here for your date, too?

Oh, no.

We're just trying to get tickets.

$300?

Do you like some jujubes?

We're fresh out.

How can that be?

I ordered a case of them myself.

If I find you two slackers have been eating the candy again, you're both

Now look sharp.

I think I remember seeing some more jujubes upstairs, near my locker.

May I show you to your seat?

Yes, you may.

Watch out. What's the hurry?

Jujubees.

You need to leave that sugar alone.

I sure hope my boyfriend makes it here soon.

Oh, I'm sure he will.

Come on, sweetie. We better hurry.

Bye. Bye.

Sorry I'm late, baby.

We can see everything.

We can see everything.

These seats are great.

We can see everything.

I feel so special.

Yeah, sitting in a box is nice.

No.

I mean sitting next to you. Excuse us. I think you're in our seats. We have A

and B.

Oh.

Well, pardon us.

your tickets, please.

Why? Is there a problem?

Apparently, there are two sets of tickets for the same seat.

Could you come with me, please?

But the show's about to start.

I know.

Come quickly so you won't disturb the others.

John, look behind us. Look out. It's my dad and Tia.

Sweetie, I think you need to pull up. on the twin guilt.

Look at those latecomers. Ooh, I hate that.

There's nothing worse than people who distract at the theater.

That's it. I'm going to get the usher.

a box. They need a room.

What do you need these tickets to think? I demand to see the manager. Hey, Ray,

why are you acting like this? You know you bought the tickets on the street. I

paid $300 for these tickets. I'm sitting somewhere.

Mr. Plimpton, we'll see you now.

Come along, dear. Watch a master at work.

Excuse me.

There's a joker in our box disturbing the entire...

Once the show starts, I can't remove a patron without the manager's consent.

Then I demand to see the manager.

Well, he's in conference in his office.

I'll wait.

No need in both of us missing the show.

Who can enjoy the show with that cackler?

I'll go out of my nose and I'll meet you back here.

Hey, excuse me. Is the manager done in there?

No, they're just getting started.

Excuse me, is it okay if I can watch from the back?

Yep. Hey, good idea. Do you mind if I join you?

No, not at all.

Thank you.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait.

Look what I got.

Last box of Jujubees.

Very happy for you. No, no, no, no.

No, no, they're for you.

No, thank you. I don't like them.

Baby, I can't believe you're hungry.

I'm sorry. I haven't eaten in a long time.

Do you have Jujubees?

Last box.

I can do. You want counterfeit tickets.

And whose fault is that?

I mean, what kind of operation do you run in where criminals launder outside

prey on those of us who support the arts?

What's wrong, baby? I saw that man outside. He and his daughter were so

to see the show. Oh, hey, don't worry, baby. My grandfather's on the board of

this theater.

I am sick and tired of this. I want something better. Excuse me, Bruce.

Oh, hello, Mr. Manchester.

How's your grandfather?

Quite well, thank you. What seems to be the problem?

Oh, no problem at all. Just a little hiccup.

I see. Well, I know my grandfather would consider it a personal favor if you

could kindly assist this gentleman. He would? He would.

So why don't we all step inside and see what you can do?

Thank you very much, young man.

Is he still tied up?

box, so that means he is down here somewhere, and I am not leaving until I

him. I'll have my jujubes now.

I sold them.

You sold them?

You told me you didn't like them.

I did not. You told me you were going to get more.

That's exactly what he's going to do.

So you'll find them at the 7 -Eleven.

But that's eight blocks away.

That's why you should run.

Okay, has anybody seen him?

Maybe he went back to his box. That's a good idea. Let's go check that out.

Wait, who are we looking for? Oh, bring your homegirl up to speed, please.

Is he still in there?

Yep.

Well, if he's not out in two minutes, I'm going in there and I'm going to drag

him out.

use his influence to get us comp tickets for tomorrow night's show.

That's great.

Hey, wait a second.

That's Devlin with another girl.

That's Dilbert?

That's a nice guy who gave us our tickets.

That jerk. He told me he was a thick grandfather.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

Let's don't start a scene until we get our free tickets.

Tyreek and Ginger, they're all on a date without me.

Darren, you scum.

Dad, the thanks we get for getting you free tickets? I got them free tickets.

What's going on? What's going on is that your two -timing date is trying to play

somebody I really care about.

You're not even in this. You and Tia broke up. And that's my problem, but

is running into me. Mr. Manchester, are you all right?

Bill, see that these young people are seated immediately.

We're going to go.

Anyway, if we stay with this dog too long, we might get fleas.

All right, let's move it along, folks.

Whoo! Baby, I'm sorry about all that unpleasant.

How about if we go on back to our piece and enjoy the show? Uh -uh, hold up.

Are you two -timing me?

No, baby, I'm two -timing her.

I mean, look, baby, I'm not two -timing anybody, Holly.

I know that's right, because it takes two to two -time. If we're not on,

on your own.

Oh, come on, Holly. Holly, wait.

Victor, Victor, look.

Would you believe this?

Victor ditched me to go out with Lisa. You know, if we hurry, we can get back

our box before the overture ends. Oh, this is perfect.

Nothing is going to stand between us and our special evening.

Hey, buddy!

Hey, Ray, Ray, Ray, you won't believe this. See, see, look, I got out of my

meeting early, and look who I ran into right in front of the theater.

Why don't you just stop right there?

I have to make excuses.

I don't blame you.

I blame her.

Oh, don't you try to turn this around on me, Ray Campbell. You're the one

following us around, snooping around in our business, hiding behind bushes.

What? No, I came here with Tia. Right, Tia? Tia.

Hi, Mom.

We tried to get tickets, but they were sold out.

Oh, Victor, this is my daughter, Tia. We met.

You have?

Say, we got two empty seats in the box.

Why don't you join us?

Well, I guess all's well that ends well.

Wow. Thank you.

I got... I got... Jujubees.

Thanks.

It's my dad and Tia.

Baby, you're going to be all right.

Just watch the show.

See, I guess the whole point of the movie is, if you're going to go to jail

with...

Tia,

you won't believe our good luck. A nice young man uses his influence to get a

cop ticket.

What did I do?
