Hey.

So where's your new man, Aaron, getting your name tattooed to his forehead?

All men are dogs.

No, dogs are better than men. At least they can be trained.

I'm sick of them lying, trifling, cheating games.

I am, too.

But you don't even have a man. That's why.

But you know what? It's all good.

Cool. I need a break anyway.

Yeah, me too. Yeah.

Hey, what's up, y 'all?

I'll check you out later.

Your head and your little chicken legs.

Kim, what are you doing?

Oh, Stevie said I should do something unusual to get over Aaron.

It's helping.

I think you're overreacting. Now, Aaron's a nice guy.

He's sweet, polite, employed.

Well, nice guys don't date two women at the same time. I'm sure there's an

explanation. Just talk to him.

Well, if you see him, tell him I don't want to see his big milk dud head ever

again.

Well, he called yesterday. What did he say?

He told me how much he misses you. I mean, the boy was practically climbing

the phone.

Oh, really?

Good.

Come on, Kim.

Now, give the boy a chance.

Hi, Miss Parker. You just come time.

You sure she won't see me? She can't wait to see you.

Now, she in her bedroom crying her eyes out right now.

I'll get her.

Kim!

Get out of here!

What are you doing here?

I hear you want to talk.

Mom said you wanted to talk.

Well, the important thing is that you're both here, so start talking. I don't

have anything to say.

Aaron, isn't that something you want to say to Kim?

Well, I tried, but every time I call, she says she's not home.

Well, she's here now.

Give it a try.

Okay.

Listen, I may have been with Kara, but I wasn't with Kara.

What?

Gosh, Mama, can't you see I'm on the phone?

I'm listening.

Okay, I was wrong for not officially breaking it off with Kara first, but I

didn't know I was going to fall for you so quickly.

Really?

I really care for you, Kim Parker.

You do?

Yeah.

I'm sorry I wasn't trying to hear what you had to say.

So you forgive me?

Yep.

Can I come over?

Boy, hang up that damn phone.

Missed you, my pookie bear.

Missed you too, angel boo.

Damn, I'm good.

Hey. Y 'all been, Kim?

Don't you mean Kim and Aaron?

Stop hatin'. She have your girl got a man.

I am, but ever since Nikki got them back... Together, it's like they're

at the hip.

Well, I don't care where they're joined.

I'm just happy they're together. See, they weren't even speaking to each

And that's when I thought, if I could just get them in the same room.

Have I told y 'all this story?

I got T -shirts to you.

Hey, Miss Parker.

Here's the T -shirt you asked me to get. Thanks, baby.

I'll see you later, Angel Toad. Bye, my little mocha bear.

has been gone for three whole seconds. What, you guys think I'm spending too

much time with him?

Uh -uh, don't be silly, baby. You can never spend too much time with the man

love. And speaking of the man I love, hey, Professor, I got something for you.

I know, and I've told you a thousand times, I don't want it.

Don't you even want to see it?

the pigeons off the balcony.

I really think Aaron's the one. He's a sweet guy.

Morning, Nikki.

And I have the right to do what I want. And I want him here.

Oh, well, I'm your mama. And I have a right to whip your butt.

I don't want to cause any problems. Yeah, get to stepping.

There aren't any problems.

Yes, there is.

Mama, you said you were going to treat me like an adult.

I will when you start acting like one.

Oh, I'm acting like one. I'm sleeping with a man.

So you're cheating on me?

sleeping with a dead man.

Uh -huh. You don't have to go anywhere.

And for your information, Aaron wasn't just spending the night.

He's my man.

He lives here now.

What? Are you crazy?

No, I'm serious. Aaron's not going anywhere.

So you're just gonna have to deal with it.

and way too fast with that boy. So to prove my point, I packed my bags and

walked out.

Well, couldn't you prove your point some other way? Because I don't have room up

in here for point proving.

And now believe me, Cam's going to realize soon enough that she's wrong. I

be here long.

Cam, how did you guys get all that stuff in your car?

We didn't.

When the professor found out Nikki was moving, he rented a truck.

Hey, Miss Parker.

Where do you want these?

Right there, baby.

There you go.

Oh, this is a really nice area.

Where are we again?

Leimert Park.

Yeah, and how far is that from Santa Monica?

About ten miles.

Is that all?

Hey, come on, let's go get the rest of the stuff. The rest?

Oh, yeah, the hair dryer, curlers, lazy boy.

Lazy boy?

You must be crazy, boy, if you think you're going to bring that tacky chair

my house.

Yeah, and can I speak to you for a minute?

Look, here's enough money to keep her here for at least, oh, six weeks.

Ten if you padlock the refrigerator.

You're nuts, but thanks.

Now, Ms. Parker, you just sit down and relax in your new home, and I'll take

care of everything.

Do you know your ears make me want to be a cutie?

Ew.

Do you know your nose makes me wish I was... Can we just

watch TV?

Okay.

What's wrong, baby?

Oh, just a little stiffness. I think it's from when you tripped carrying me

the stairs yesterday.

Oh. Okay, next time I'll put the groceries down first.

So what are you thinking?

Nothing.

What are you thinking now?

Really, nothing.

What about now?

Okay, I won't ask again.

You know what? I think I should call my mama.

See, I knew you were thinking something.

Let me massage your temple. Shut up.

Nikki, I told you to use a coaster.

Well, you don't use a coaster when you come to my house.

That's because your stuff's not as nice as mine.

I heard they have a great movie down at the Magic Johnson Theater.

Which one?

Any one. Just go.

And are you trying to get rid of me?

For two days now.

What are you doing?

I'm about to roll my hat.

Well, can't you roll it in the back? Dre'll be here any minute.

Who, Dre the monk?

He's not a monk. He's celibate.

about to change once i whip my magic on it oh girl i know i saw your bag of

tricks under your bed

She's off her medication now.

Come on now.

You're a real good friend to help Rob when she's in need.

Oh, that's just who I am.

Is it warm in here or is it just me?

I'm pretty comfortable.

You know, Andel, I really like you. I mean, not many women respect my choice

to have sex before marriage.

I completely understand.

I too am saving myself for the right man.

It's 7 -Eleven in Santa Monica. Why don't you go down and get yourself?

Forget you went down.

So, are you sure you don't believe in premarital sex?

I'm sure.

I've never even been tempted?

All the time.

What about now?

Yes.

But I'm very...

Glad that I happen to be with a woman who's saving herself for the right man.

Who?

Oh, yeah, that's right.

How about a toast? Oh, to celibacy.

Uh -oh!

Girl, where your plunger?

Obviously, this is a bad time. Oh, only for her.

She won't bother us anymore. I'll kick it to the curb.

No, baby, you don't have the heart to do that. Watch me.

It's okay. You know what? We can do this another time. Oh, no, come on, please.

See? Listen.

It's quiet.

I think she's asleep.

Come on.

And you got something on your lip.

All right.

Did I get it? No. No, let me do it.

Okay, what is it?

Oh, never mind!

This isn't going to work.

down my back, asking me a million questions, always in my business.

So that's what you called us over here for?

It's driving me crazy. He's smothering me. Well, I don't see him now.

Well, that's because he insisted on giving me a pedicure. But I ran out of

barbecue brown nail polish, so he went to the store to get it.

Hey, I missed you, Angel K.

Hey, guys, you want to stick around? I'm going to cook dinner.

I cannot remember the last time a man cooked for me.

I can't remember the last time you had a man.

But first, I'm going to polish my kidneys' toes.

Okay,

Stevie, that's our cue to bounce. No, no, no, I want to watch. Oh, girl,

nasty.

Let me walk into the door first.

Oh, no need.

Don't want to upset the toe man.

Hey, Angel, do you have a minute?

I'm making a schedule for tomorrow.

Now, 7 .30, we get up and have breakfast.

Ten o 'clock, we go to the mall so I can buy you some shoes. Then we do a movie

at two. No, Aaron.

This is too much.

Okay, skip the movie.

No, no, no, not that. It's everything.

You're always up under me.

You're smothering me.

Oh.

Baby, I need space.

Okay, I can sleep on the sofa.

A lot more space than that.

How much? Try your mama's sofa.

So you want to dump me?

No, no, no. Look, you know how I feel about you.

I just want to slow things down.

But I thought we were good together. Oh, we are good together.

But sometimes you just wreck my nerves.

Okay.

I want what you want.

Yeah. I'll pack my thing tonight.

Okay.

Aaron, I love you.

Hey, baby.

Hey, Mama, come here.

Well, I was just in the area, and I thought I'd drop by. You busy?

No, just sitting up here reading a magazine.

How's it there?

Child, we are having a ball.

You know we talk about me moving in with her for good.

Oh, he's not here right now.

But you wouldn't believe how much fun we are having.

It's so crazy.

Excuse me.

Here's some of your junk. I left the rest out on the curb.

And some things you just need to let go of.

you need a place to stay.

Well, uh, what about Aaron?

He moved out.

Living with a man isn't easy.

Mm -hmm.

Well, you have to find out for yourself.

I don't know what's wrong with me, Mama.

I should have talked to you first.

Well, baby, I don't know if that would have made a difference.

See, that's what I'm talking about.

You'll never change.

Look, Kim, I've been your mama for over 20 years, and you've been my baby.

It's not easy for me to change the way I see you. I just wish you would see me

as an adult.

I promise I'll try.

But in the meantime, do what I used to do with my boyfriend.

What's that?

Sneak him in.

Now, come on and help me get the rest of my stuff from off the curb. Put a trash

man, pick it up.

No, it's for the tenants' association meeting. What are you doing here?

I live here.

Did you miss me?

What? I paid that woman good money to keep you there.

Oh, my sugar daddy.

What's Endell's number?

I see her at the tenants' meeting, boo.

This is rubbish.

Doesn't she understand this is a breach of contract? I will take her to court.
