Okay, Lynn.

While Monica and I are in Italy, I want
you to get the mail, bring in the paper,

and clean up after the party.

What party?

When this flyer was on my car.

Got it. Clean up after party.

There's just one thing. You haven't told
me what to do in the event of your

untimely death.

Because of the current political
climate?

No, because when Monica finds out the
only reason you took her to Italy was to

tell her you quit your job, your Roman
holiday is going to turn into a death in

Venice.

Party, BYOB.

So you guys, this is it. What do you
think?

Fabulous entryway.

Tony, this is the entryway, dining room,
and living room.

Oh, yeah, and the bedroom, since the
only real bedroom is for Jabari.

So the whole thing ends at that wall?
Yeah.

Oh, girl.

You just hit me.

You're really poor.

The fleece looks pretty standard. So the
only thing that's missing is your

signature. You know what, Joan? I don't
really know now. You know what? I don't

know if I'm feeling it. You know, it
does look a little small.

Oh, Maya, come on. It makes up in
character what it lacks in square

Come on, sweetie. Sign the lease.

Lynn!

What do you think?

Hey, it has a roof on it. Take it.

Uh -uh, Maya.

Is this the bathroom?

Yes. I don't get it. Are you supposed to
pee and shower in the same stall?

You know what? Tony's right. The
bathroom is too cramped.

It's very European.

Sign. You know, I don't know. I just...
Lynn?

Hey, that's windows. Take it.

You guys, you know, I don't know if I
feel comfortable living on the ground

floor. No, no, no, no. Living on the
first floor is great in the case of

emergency. You know, in case you gotta
jump out the window.

Hey, that's true.

That's true. Think of it as insurance.

On those nights when you're considering
suicide when this cracker box just ain't

enough.

Nice work on the ARCO motion.

My notes are in red. However, the key
word is to think. Be so in your next

draft. Thank you, Sharon.

Once again, in the office, it's Miss
Farley. It's all about respect in the

workplace, which reminds me.

I think I figured out why the partners
don't like you.

Excuse me?

The partners don't like me? Oh, I'm
sorry. Respect you.

Excuse me?

Forgive my bluntness, but it's all about
the wardrobe.

The stiletto heels, the cleavage, the
see -through tops.

Counselor, this is not a David E. Kelly
show. The message that you send is more

interested in fashion than law.

With all due respect, I think that my
work speaks for itself.

Well, your wardrobe is speaking louder
and it's screaming restaurant hostess,

please just button up.

Oh, one more thing.

I was wondering if you'd be interested
in joining my book club.

It's a group of very powerful women, and
I think you could benefit from some

influential role models. You do read
things other than Vogue.

I'm a voracious reader.

Come on, Joan, it was a joke.

Yeah.

Joan, I'm simply trying to help you to
get to the top. I mean, that's where you

want to be, right?

So can I put you down as a yes?

Yeah, that'd be great. I'd be flattered.
I might have to check my book. That's

the thing.

Yes. We're reading The Emperor of Ocean
Park.

Okay.

Did you hear all that?

Maya, I'm confused.

Is she for me or against me? You know,
Joan, I really don't know, but I will

this. Now, if you're giving away any of
those shirt tops, give them to me. I

mean, now that I've got red, it's put a
real dent in my field trips to the

outlet malls.

You know what? Maybe this whole book
club thing is her way of trying to bond.

mean, maybe it's a test.

Maybe... Joan, I'm sorry.

You know, since you're coming to the
book club, do you mind possibly hosting

Yeah, sure.

Or maybe... She's just using your ass.

Oh, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey,

do you need some help with your box?

No, I got it, brother. I'm cool. I got
it. I got it. I'm your neighbor. I live

next door.

Unit 4. Right.

Yo, any serial killer can say they live
in Unit 4.

All right, I'm going to need to see some
identification, license, something.

Okay. All right, I see. And look at that
right there. Uh -oh. Okay. All right,

well, this is good. Okay, I'm going to
need to see you do this, though.

Oh, you got jokes.

I guess you want to carry this box
yourself.

Well, actually, I thought maybe you
could carry it.

Please.

Okay.

Yeah, I got it.

No!

Dang, girl!

What you got in here?

Weapons! I thought we were past a trust
issue. Oh, well, we are, but I really do

have weapons.

Basically, I'm a woman alone, okay? And
I... I mean, I'm a woman alone cleaning

my boyfriend Chignite's weapons.

You're a funny unit. Uh -huh.

Maya.

Jalen. Mm -hmm?

So, Jalen, you got someplace you need to
be right now?

Well, what do you have in mind?

Form a box in the car. Excuse me.

William?

Si, bambina.

Why haven't you checked your office?

Because I'm on vacation.

With the most belladonna in the world.

Well, when I'm on vacation with an
important man, I'm always more

when that important man checks his
office. Because if they can run it

him, he's not that important.

You know, don't you?

Know what?

Nothing!

William? What's going on at your office?
Why are we in Italy and why are you so

nervous? Because my Italian's very
shaky.

I mean, my Italiano is mucho shaky.

William.

I quit.

I didn't make partners, so I quit.

I've been out of the firm for about two
weeks now. I wanted to tell you, it's

just... I've never been with a woman
like you.

You know, you're sophisticated and
you're beautiful, and I thought if I

you, I'd lose you.

Have I?

It's been fun.

Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Ciao.

William called. He told Monica.

She didn't kill him, but she dumped him.

Glory! Hallelujah!

Who did that?

What's the matter, Monica? Did you hear?
You have to click it.

Don't wish William to be alone.

What? What's wrong with you guys?

I mean, don't wish anyone to be alone.

It's hell.

I should know. I'm living it.

Every night, you know, I just wander
around that little room.

I'm lost.

I don't even know what to do with
myself. I swear, sometimes I feel like

going crazy.

Girl, that's... That's why gerbils go
mad.

You can't live in that little cage.

Get yourself a wheel or something.

It's not the space, Tony, okay?

You know, I miss having someone there to
talk to.

Hold me a night.

Take out the trash.

I don't know, you guys. I don't think
I'm a person who's built to be alone.

If you give me Jabari's room for free,
I'll take out the trash.

Oh, hell, I'll even hold you.

Maya, you just need to date.

I have the perfect guy for you. Perfect
guy?

What about me?

Oh, right.

I've got a man. I'm sorry. Have it?

Yeah.

His name is Darren. He's a dermatologist
friend of Todd's. And before you say

no, he's black.

Look, we'll double date. Blue Friday
night, we'll pick you up? I can't date.

not ready.

She's the last time I dated. Ruined my
marriage.

Well, one of us certainly is.

I didn't realize Propecia was so funny.
See, what's so funny is that this woman,

I know, named her baby Propecia.

Wait till she finds out it's a drug for
male pattern baldness, okay?

Oh, that's funny. I've got to call her.

Maya, did I mention that Darren and I
interned together?

You know, I'm not really feeling the
name Darren.

Too close to Darnell.

That's my ex -husband.

He let someone like you get away.

I tried to tell him.

So if you don't mind, I'm going to have
to call you by your middle name. Now,

what is that?

It's Earl.

Oh, hell no.

Earl is the name of the guy who took my
mom away from me.

Your mom was a lucky lady.

Huh?

Um, why don't you just call me Dr.
Lucas?

Sweetie, I can't call you Dr.

Lucas because you're not a member of my
HMO.

Lucas, now, any relationship to George
Lucas?

You know, part of the Star Wars team?

Uh, no.

Are you sure?

I didn't see him on the family bus going
to the Million Man March.

No, no, no. You guys laugh. Okay, but
now he could be passing.

Right? A little tragic malacto.

Because he's got big money.

Big, big money. You can cash in. That's
all I'm saying. Might want to check it

out. A little cha -ching.

I think I do okay as a dermatologist.

Oh, really? You do? Well, you know, no
offense, but you're not the Papa Bush.

You're the black kid to make his kind of
money. Oh, you know, speaking of

movies.

Speaking of movies.

Tony, keep up. We're not talking about
movies. We are now.

Darren, man, your favorite movie?

Well, I like Psycho, but I don't think I
should go there.

It's been a really lovely, lovely
evening, and I hope that we do it again

Boy, we haven't even had dinner yet. I
think someone should probably go check

our reservations.

I'll do it. Hell, you will. It's no
problem. Sit.

Excuse me.

points are almost secondary to character
development.

I felt like I knew these people.

Well, enough about my opinion. Joan,
what do you think?

Well, since I joined the group so late,
and since I was asked to host, and by

the way, there's a lot more crab salad
in the refrigerator. Don't be shy.

Actually, only able to get to about page
200, but already.

Already I see a very rich allegorical
thread, which I find very intriguing.

What's intriguing is that you would even
venture an opinion when you're so

obviously unprepared. I hope you don't
go into court like that, Counselor.

Well, Sharon, this is hardly court.

Oh, you allow your subordinates to call
you Sharon?

How down with the people.

Joan?

We're all very busy women here, but we
manage to read the book.

Yeah, this is true even those of us who
write them.

Brilliantly. Here, here.

Joan, if you're not going to take this
seriously, maybe you should leave.

Kind of hard to do that since this is my
house.

Hmm, unprepared and defensive.

Who is this interloper, Sharon?

I'm a strict vegan. I thought you knew
that.

Oh, there's hummus. Just here, Miss
Parker.

I'm allergic to chickpeas. Didn't you
get my food allergies list?

But back to the book. Joan, there's
nothing remotely allegorical about the

novel. If anything, it's in the realist
tradition of Steinbeck.

Well, see, I was thinking that the
Steinbeckanism probably kicks in around

201.

Steinbeckanism? Girl, you need to quit
while you're ahead. That's not even a

word.

Please excuse me.

I have something to do in the kitchen.

Oh, hopefully something constructive
like finishing the novel.

Allegory. Wait till I tell the author
that.

You know, I caught him on speed dial.
Let me see if I can get him.

Mama, was I wrong?

I mean, Propecia is funny, right?

I gotta go. Someone's here. Yeah, I'll
see you on Sunday.

Yeah. Oh, you better save me some
catfish.

Okay.

Girl, it's me, Jalen. Drop the pepper
spray.

You're lucky you announced yourself
because she was about to get it all up

here. Oh, all up in here. Yes, all up in
the frontal.

What's up?

Well, I hope it's not too late, but I
got some of your mail again.

Yeah, come on. Thanks.

Okay. Yeah.

You want some coffee?

Wait, you know what? I haven't unpacked
the coffee maker. How about some tap

water? Same color as the coffee.

You know what? I'll pass.

So, how was your date?

Oh, Lord, it went straight to hell
before the dinner arrived.

Oh, if the guy was a loser, huh?

No, I think it was me.

I'm no business dating anybody.

Well, you're too beautiful to sit in the
house.

Unless you're crazy, because you know
what people say.

If a girl's halfway attractive and she
doesn't have anybody, it's because she's

nuts. Oh, really? Well, I may have
proved them right tonight.

Oh, my God.

What, bad news?

Not unexpected.

My divorce is final.

Oh.

Damn.

Oh, hey, look, I'll just go, you know?

No.

I don't think I could take another man
walking out on me tonight.

Oh, Maya.

Where is Sharon Up Yours Farley now,
huh?

Huh? I'm on page 463, and if this isn't
allegorical, I don't know what the hell

is. This is allegory.

Jalen. Oh, my God.

Maya. No.

Who's Jalen?

My neighbor from unit four.

Maya. Did you just have sex?

Uh, yes.

Well, then where is he? In my sofa bed.

Girl, you were right about one thing. I
am thankful that I'm on that ground

floor because I was able to grab my
purse and my keys and jump out the

window.

So you had sex.

You did use protection, right?

Girl, yes. It was Fort Knox up in there.

Don't do that.

Do not laugh, okay?

Right? This is not about my body. This
is about my soul.

I mean, I don't know why I slept with
him.

Well, I mean, yes, I do. I need a
comfort. But I don't sleep around, Joan.

That's not what I do.

You know, I've never slept with anyone
except Darnell.

I don't know what came over me.

I mean, I don't even have feelings for
this guy.

Sweetie.

Welcome to being single.

I don't even know his last name.

Welcome to being Lynn.

Hello, William.

Monica!

I knew you'd come back.

Did you?

Yeah, I stole your passport.

You don't think I'd bring a woman all
the way to Italy and tell her the worst

possible news and let her walk out on
me, do you?

I'm not an idiot.

Yes, you are.

You quit.

I deserve that partnership.

They undervalued me at the firm. They
gave me no choice but to quit, and I'm

going to apologize for it. William, I
had a lot of time to think on my way to

the airport.

And when I was detained by customs
because I didn't have my passport, I had

time to think.

I have invested...

And I don't walk away empty -handed for
my investments.

Well, I hope I'm more than that.

Of course you are. That's why I came
back. Hello.

Monica, is this your way of telling me
that you love me?

William, I enjoy you.

Love is a romantic notion.

Even if it exists, it dissipates in less
than a year.

What we have is real.

We're a team.

So, I'm going to give you another
chance.

Again. And you're the only man that I've
ever given that many chances to.

Oh, Monica, you do love me.

Don't get mushy and blow it, William.

Because this really is your last chance.

So be a good boy.

You know I love it when you talk like
Mama.

Maya, we... can't avoid each other
forever.

We can try.

Come on.

Listen, Jalen, okay, about last week,
when I... Jumped out of the window?

yeah.

It's cool.

All right, I get it. I wasn't trying to
be your rebound guy.

I was just trying to be a good neighbor.
You know, bring your mail.

I didn't mean to lick your envelope.

Come on, lighten up. All right, let's
laugh about it.

Hell, I need to. I never made a woman
jump out of a window before.

Okay.

So just neighbors, right?

Strictly.

Now, if I come over to borrow some
sugar, I'm talking about the stuff you

your cereal, not the stuff you put on me
last week.

Oh, see, now you got jokes, right?

Okay, whatever.

See you around.

Unit 8.

Okay. Unit 4.

Oh, good night, Miss Farley.

Joan.

8 .57.

Half day, huh?

I finished the book.

And? And it was good.

I liked it.

That's all you have to say.

I think it's best that way.

Miss Clayton, we're discussing the red
tent next week.

Wouldn't miss it.
