- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, oh!

Oh.

- [Janice] You being at school is about you.

- What? - Not us.

- This has always been about us.

You said you wanted to start a family, right?

In order to start a family, we needed more money.

That means everything I'm doing, it is about the family.

(traffic humming) (group chattering)

That's not what I said.

- It is what you said.

And if you didn't say it's what you meant.

- I simply asked,

is it possible that your mom could be faking it a little.

- (scoffs) Faking what?

Her hair falling out.

Her not being able to move from the pain.

My mother has cancer and I highly doubt someone

could fake a lie about cancer.

- No, I'm not saying that she doesn't have cancer.

What I'm saying is,

is it possible that it's not as bad

as she's making it out to be?

- (scoffs) She's going through chemo.

Why don't you look it up, school boy?

- I hadn't seen her in a while

and no, I don't think that she's faking.

I guess, I guess I just didn't think that one through.

- You, you never think things through, Todd.

You know what?

Whatever.

You are such a jerk.

(phone beeping) (brooding music)

(slow tempo jazz music)

(traffic humming)

- You shouldn't put your head down on the bar.

Leave your drink open like that.

Somebody could slip something in it.

- Thank you, concerned citizen.

- Just trying to help.

- [Todd] Yeah.

- So you here by yourself?

- Listen, I'm not into that sort of thing.

- What sort of thing?

- Hookers, escorts, prostitutes, that sort of thing.

- Hey, Lee, can I get Johnny Walker neat

and put her on this assholes tab?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I don't buy drinks for hookers.

I don't buy drinks for hookers.

- Well, thankfully I'm not a hooker, you jerk.

Thanks, Lee.

- Miss.

Miss, miss.

- Sharon.

- Sharon, my bad.

I meant no disrespect.

I'm just, I'm having a long night.

- We've all had long nights.

Lucky for you, I'm not opposed to do-overs.

- Do-overs.

I appreciate that.

Todd Edwards, Miami, Florida.

- Sharon, West Palm Beach, Florida.

- You from the crip?

- Born and raised.

(Todd laughs)

Wait a minute.

Are you Todd Edwards of the Mighty Vikings

'05, the quarterback?

- What you know about the Vikings?

- Oh, you guys humiliated my boyfriend

in the third round of the playoffs.

- Really?

- They practiced every day.

They thought they were going to state that year.

- Close game.

- Yeah, until you ran over him and scored the touchdown.

- Number 52 was your boyfriend?

- (chuckles) You remember?

- Can't forget it.

You want another drink?

- Nah, these drinks are strong tonight.

- Don't tell me you scared.

- None of that.

Lee, can we get two more?

- Two, two?

- Two more for this guy.

- Whoa, two drinks?

- Wait, are you scared now?

- Okay, challenge accepted.

Lee, let me also get two shots.

- Oh boy.

* Trying to see if we can face it

* Guessing on the stakes

* I can leave you feeling

* I'm trying to baby breathing

* I need your assistance

* Ask me how I like it

* All I'm trying to do

* Is come in here and light some

* And let these fucking candles go

* Alone just me and you

* Just let me take control

* And give you what you know you want

* No more fighting

* No more hiding

* I feel excited for my passion

* All I'm trying to do

Toast to being present and living in the moment.

* You pull up when I say so

- I'll drink to that.

* Pay closer

* More that I feeling you

* Better look in and right through

* Ain't no space for two

* Hoping look like you

So why are you out tonight?

- Just having a drink.

- Hmm.

- You?

- Problems at home with the wife.

- I was wondering when you were gonna mention the wife.

- Oh, the ring speaks for itself.

- Yeah, I see.

Lucky lady.

- Yeah.

I'll tell her that next time she speaks to me.

* I feel silent when I'm crushing you

(woman vocalizing)

* All I want

- You know the quarterback calls the plays.

- Girl, I ain't been a quarterback in years.

- Once a quarterback always a quarterback.

Unless you're suddenly a damsel in distress.

- You got jokes.

- I'm saying the more you drink the funnier I get.

(Todd laughs)

(gentle R&B music)

- My lips do work, don't they?

- Yeah.

You're actually giving me a smile.

(both laughing)

I don't know what that was over there.

(Todd laughs)

- You know, to get back to your question,

I, I guess I just didn't wanna be home.

- I understand that.

I come here a lot when I don't wanna be home either.

I don't like an empty apartment.

- Yeah, neither do I.

- I have to go to the bathroom.

(Sharon sighs)

(door clicks)

What are you doing in here?

- I'll leave if you want me to go.

- You gotta get out.

- Okay.

- Now.

(sultry music)

(Todd grunting)

(Sharon moaning)

Wait.

(Sharon panting)

Oh my God, I can't do this.

- Hey, Sharon.

Sharon.

Sharon.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

- Why didn't you answer earlier?

- Yeah, I, I was doing some homework.

- Well, why didn't you call me when you saw that I called?

- Because I didn't see it.

- Are you okay?

- I'm, I'm just tired.

I need to get some sleep, that's all.

Listen, let, let me, let me call you tomorrow, okay?

Good night.

- Good night?

Are you getting off the phone?

- Janice, I'm tired.

Let me, let me call you tomorrow.

- (scoffs) Okay?

Good night.

Todd, I love you.

- Okay.

I love you too.

Yeah.

(phone beeping)

(brooding jazz music)

(Janice sighs)

(ominous music)

(tense ominous music)

(tense ominous music)

Sharon.

(ominous music)

(traffic humming)

If you didn't have anything good to say,

why would you call with this today?

Come on you, why would you try to upset me today?

I'm late.

I gotta go.

I gotta go, I'm late.

(Todd sighs) (phone beeps)

(slow tempo jazz music)

Sharon.

Sharon, what happened to you the other night?

(Sharon sighs)

- Hey, Todd, I'm sorry for the other night.

- But what happened?

- That's just not me.

- That was actually the first time

anything like that had ever happened to me too.

- I can't believe that happened.

- It was my fault.

I should have never followed you into that bathroom.

It'll never happen again.

- It won't.

- Right, right, it, it, it won't.

- Where you going?

- Class, but I'm late.

- Class?

What school you go to?

AU but not for long before I keep being late.

- How long you been waiting?

- Been waiting out here for about an hour.

This bus is always late.

- What happened to your car?

- I actually left it at home.

I like to catch the bus on my way to school.

It gives me time to read.

- Oh.

Yeah, my car's in the shop.

I never took the bus for fun.

- You don't look the type that would ever catch the bus.

- No.

No.

- You're too cute for all that.

- You're so silly.

- I guess it was just meant for us to meet again.

- I don't know how that works.

- Yeah, neither do I.

But how about you give me your number this time,

that way the next time that we happen to meet,

it's on purpose.

- Okay.

- Okay.

(phone clicking)

- I'll, I'll text you some time.

- Here's your bus.

- You right.

See you soon.

- Bye.

(phone buzzing)

- [Todd] Yeah.

- Hey, I'm sorry.

- What?

Hello?

- Yes.

I said I was sorry.

Don't sound so surprised.

- Nah, my bad.

I, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to insult your mom.

- Thank you for saying that, Todd.

Baby, I know you got a lot going on there

and you're doing it for us.

But it's hard being away from you.

I miss you.

And seeing Mama go through all this

and not being able to help her is killing me.

- I mean, we just,

we gotta do better with our communication.

We, we gotta stop all this fussing all the time.

I know, I know, you got a lot going on.

I mean, with the distance and your mom.

- You're right.

- Hey, how is she?

- It's not easy seeing mama sick.

- Yeah.

Well, I couldn't imagine

what it feels like to go through this.

I mean, but she's strong.

She'll pull through.

Listen, we in this together.

I love you.

You know that, right?

- I know.

And I love you.

Well, how was your presentation?

(phone dings) (phone whooshes)

Todd?

Todd.

- Oh, oh, my bad.

My bad, my bad, my bad.

I was, I was grabbing some food out of the microwave.

- Is everything all right?

- Hey, um, I'm, I'm a, I'm a little tired.

Let me, let me, I'm gonna,

I'm gonna get something to eat and then I'm gonna,

I'm just gonna call you tomorrow, okay?

- Are you okay?

- No, everything's fine.

- Okay, babe.

Well get some rest and I'll talk to you in the morning.

Oh, and babe, maybe next time

we're together you can take me out for sushi.

- Yeah.

- That'd be great.

Okay.

I love you.

Good night.

- I love you too.

All right, bye bye.

(phone beeping)

(brooding jazz music)

(Janice sighs)

- Fuck it.

(jazz music)

- I wasn't sure you were gonna show up.

- Neither was I.

- I'm glad you did.

- Me too.

- Do you want anything to drink?

- Not sure.

- Well, when you decide, let me know.

I'm gonna go to the ladies' room.

Lee.

- Hey my man.

What will it be?

- Uh, Honey Jack.

- One Jack Honey coming up.

- Hey, does she come in here often?

- Who Sharon?

- Yeah. - She comes in

a couple times a week.

Always by herself.

It's kind of criminal for her

to keep all that sexy to herself if you ask me.

(Lee chuckles)

- What do you know about her?

- I mean, only that she's a sweet girl.

Fine as box wine.

She's a keeper.

- [Todd] Hmm.

- What were you expecting?

- I don't know.

- Well, I mean, either way it doesn't make any difference

seeing that you're married in all, right?

- Right.

- Hope I didn't take too long.

- Not at all.

- Lee, we're gonna take our drinks to the table.

- All right, I'll send a round over.

- Okay.

So how was your presentation?

- Oh, I was late.

I was late to a professor's class who has a sign on the door

that says, better never than late.

- Oh God.

Did you at least get to do your presentation?

- Yeah, but only after everybody else

finished their presentation.

He still docked me a whole letter grade.

- Okay, so you got a B.

- A C.

I left half of my presentation at work this morning.

- Oh, my God. (laughs)

Oh, well, it makes sense. (chuckles)

- It's not funny.

It's not.

- Sorry.

- What's up with you?

- What do you wanna know?

- The basics for now.

- Um, my name is Sharon.

I'm an Aries and I'd like to have a good time.

- That's it?

- You asked for the basics.

- Well, I want to know more than the basics.

Like what's your favorite color, favorite store to shop in?

The moments that take your breath away,

the moments that keep you up at night?

- Besides thoughts of you.

- Ha ha.

I'm serious.

- I'm sorry, I know you're being serious.

I don't know if you can handle that.

Honestly, I don't even know if I can handle that.

- All right, that's fair.

- What?

Why so serious?

- I'm just,

I got a million thoughts going through my mind right now

and the biggest is, why am I here?

- I used to be an accountant, and then I got pregnant,

and I stopped working to prepare for the baby,

and it was a miscarriage.

Since then, I haven't gone back to work.

- I'm so sorry to hear that.

You wanna talk about it?

- No, what I want is to be here with you

for as long as we're gonna be here together.

- But I'm married.

- I know.

And I'm in a relationship too.

Look, wouldn't it be nice to have a friend?

- Would be nice to have a friend,

someone to talk to have a couple drinks with.

- Yeah.

(Todd laughs)

- Man, we both know where drinks and talking leads us.

- Oh, well it doesn't have to get there.

- You're right.

It doesn't have to.

- It almost did.

- I mean, we both knew what was gonna happen

after that kiss.

I hadn't been kissed like that a long time.

- What do you mean?

- It's like you kissed me like you knew me.

- I felt the same way.

It was like you were seeing me.

- Because I was seeing you.

- So what happens after this?

You go to school and then go back home to be with your wife?

- That's the plan.

- You guys have any kids?

- Nah, but we want some.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- So is this gonna be like two kids a house,

a white picket fence?

- The American Dream, right?

- (laughs) Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Okay, to us being friends.

- Friends.

- Friends.

But we need rules.

- Yeah.

You have any suggestions?

- Yes.

Rule number one, don't lie.

- That's fair.

That's fair.

Same for you.

Don't lie.

Friends.

- Friends.

(Todd chuckles)

Are you hungry?

- Uh, yeah.

- Wanna get outta here?

- Yeah.

Where do you want to go?

- Doesn't matter.

Any suggestions?

(sultry music)

(Sharon panting)

(both moaning)

(Sharon moaning)

- Did that just happen?

(Sharon laughs)

- Who are we fooling?

We can't be friends.

- Yeah, 'cause every time I'm around you, I'm gonna wanna.

- (sighs) I feel the same way.

- Okay, so how about this?

When we're together, we're together

and when we're not, we're not.

- Okay.

Second rule.

Don't fall in love.

Deal?

- Deal.

You want something to drink?

- Yeah.

- What do you want?

- You have water?

- Tap, okay?

- Unfiltered tap.

That's all right, I have my own.

- Fine, more for me.

- It's all for you.

(upbeat music)

- Do you remember when she volunteered

at the child support office for free?

She's nosy, I'm telling you.

Yeah, they're tied up.

Come on. - You ready?

- Check, check man.

Stop all the talk.

Wining by two or going straight up.

- Straight up.

- Okay.

Don't, don't do that, B.

(both grunt)

I thought that was it.

Run it back.

That tied up.

Going by two, straight up.

- No, we playing straight up.

- Straight up.

- I don't wanna be out here no more.

- That might be it.

Game.

- [Todd] Good game, man.

- What's up with you?

I've known you since third grade

before you start even liking girls

so I already know what's up.

- [Todd] Shoot the ball.

- [Brian] What's her name?

- Man, it was a good win.

Bad game for me, lucky game for you.

Besides, I'm a married man.

(Brian laughing)

What's funny, B?

- You sound like a man trying to convince himself

he's a married man.

Come on now, it's me.

What's going on?

What's her name?

- Sharon.

- (laughs) I knew it.

I knew it.

- Janie's is gonna kick your ass.

- As if she find out.

- Dead man walking.

(Todd laughing)

What you mean when she find out?

She's nosy as hell.

- [Todd] Yes she is.

- She volunteered at the child support office.

- I got it under control this time.

- Man, you think you got it under control.

These women got it under control, trust me.

The bigger question is why ain't just buy escort, man?

- Because I ain't paying for it.

- You ain't pimping for real.

You not paying for it to stay.

You paying for it to leave.

- Leave? - Yes.

No attachments, man.

Listen, I know you just wanna get your rocks off

and that's cool, but you do it with no attachments.

- Man, Janice, I just, we ain't on the same page no more.

With her mom being sick and, and this distance, man,

it's just hard.

- Man, I get all that.

I just don't want you to mess things up.

She got any friends?

- She easy to be around, man.

When I don't wanna leave,

I ain't gotta go,

when I wanna stay, she don't have no problems with it.

And that's sex whew.

- Made that look like she got that fire.

But once again, do she have any friends?

- I'm pretty sure she got some friends.

- Well, shoot, I want to meet her tomorrow.

- As if you act right.

- Come on, man.

When have B never acting right?

I got you.

- You ain't never acting right.

- Listen, okay, listen, just settle down.

Relax.

I'm gonna settle, I'm gonna do the right thing on this one.

Just let me know when.

- All right. - Just hit me up.

- We supposed to get up tonight.

- Hit me up.

- She tell me a time and the place I shoot it over to you.

- I'll be there. - All right.

- All right. - Hey.

- Yo. - I'm gonna go inside.

I'm gonna take some of this cryptocurrency money

that you got. - Wait a minute.

- I'm gonna go ahead and get out the way.

- You dust your feet off.

You got on some, wipe them heels.

Some.

- Yeah, for sure.

How about nine o'clock?

- At the bar?

So is it all right if my boy come too tonight?

- Your boy?

- It's not a problem, is it?

- Yeah, but I, I didn't think we were.

- Nah, nah, nah, I get that.

But he's cool.

We grew up together.

- Hey, if it's okay with you, it's okay with me.

- All right, see you at nine.

- So what are you doing until then?

- I got some studying to do

so I think I'm gonna go over to the library.

- Okay.

Which library?

- Ah, the public one.

There's one not too far from my house.

(Todd chuckles)

(both laugh)

I think I can go again.

She just texted me.

She should be a minute.

Oh, there they are.

They're here. - Damn right they're here.

Nice to meet you.

You are gorgeous.

- Hi, Brian.

You're such a gentleman.

- Thank you. - Nice to meet you.

Sit your country ass down.

(group laughing)

Come on now.

- Nah, not gonna happen.

- Well, then shoot, let's go.

- Hey, let's get it. - Let's go.

Let's get it.

- So fellas, what's your idea of a perfect date?

We were just talking about this.

- Right. - A perfect date.

- Ugh.

Ooh, that's rough.

What you mean?

The girl or what we doing on the date?

- I mean both.

- Ooh. - Ooh.

- Okay.

- Well see, for me,

the perfect date would be a girl who has no expectations.

- Okay.

- You don't get it? - No, I don't.

- Okay, I'll continue. - Please continue.

- See a girl- - Elaborate.

- I will elaborate.

A girl who goes out on a date with me

and pays for everything.

Voila!

(group laughing)

- You're so cool.

Ooh, you so corny.

- Ladies, what's up?

- Hey! - Oh, look who showed up.

- You double dating.

- [Lisa] You look good, come sit.

- You doing a double date.

- No, it ain't that serious.

- What's up. - We don't know them.

- Hey, girl, what? - Come on.

- Ooh. - Where were you?

- What do you mean where was I?

(Todd laughs)

Listen, you know, I had to come get a drink from Lee.

The best drinks in the city.

Okay.

And look at you.

- Yes, look at you.

- You look sexy.

- Have a seat. - Who are y'all?

- Hey. - Hello.

- How you doing? - How you doing?

- Now if you with these ladies here,

please have a seat.

- Oh wow, a gentleman.

(Sharon laughs)

- Let me introduce myself.

- Okay. - I'm Brian.

This is my boy Todd.

- Okay. - Your girl is rude

and this is probably gonna be our last date.

- He cheap so it don't matter.

- A date? - Girl, he cheap.

Girl, let me tell you what we were talking about.

So I asked them, what is the idea of a perfect date

and Todd was about to enlighten this.

- Yeah, I, I was about to enlighten.

Now, let's see, my perfect date

would be me going to pick her up at her house.

Bouquet of roses in hand, taking her to a restaurant

that she had never been to, but always wanted to go.

- He ain't cheap.

- We would sit, we would talk,

and enjoy each other's company.

And then we would leave.

We would go by a long walk along the side

of a pretty moon lit body of water.

And then I'll take her home, say goodnight.

- What if she doesn't want to go home?

- Then I would enjoy her company for as long as you like.

I mean, she likes.

- You smooth with that.

I caught that.

- Uh-uh, Sharon, watch them smooth talking fellas.

Okay, because you gonna be pregnant, bitter, and alone.

- [Sharon] Oh my God.

- Hey, would you care to dance?

- Ah.

- Would the perfect date say no?

- I hope not. - Okay.

- Come on. - He ain't cheap.

He got the girl 'cause he gonna pay for stuff.

- Yes. - Over here won't pay

for the Uber.

- After you. - Gotta pay for my drinks

and chicken tubs.

He won't even pay for the chicken wings, girl.

- You gotta pay.

- I don't wanna go out on a date to pay for some shit.

- Why do you hold me like this?

- Like what?

- Like, you know me.

- Because I know you.

I can see it in your eyes.

The eyes are the windows to the heart.

- What do you see when you look in my eyes?

- Me, a possible future.

I can see, I can see me breaking all of our rules.

- Dive bar, that's not what we.

- Todd, no more dive bar.

(phone buzzing)

- You should probably get that, dive bar.

Where'd your boy and Lisa go?

- [Todd] What?

What did Lee put in those drinks?

- Love making. - Love making.

- We've been drinking tequila all night.

And everybody knows the main ingredient

in tequila is lovemaking.

- I thought they hated each other.

- Oh, dive bar, you have a lot to learn.

With this music and those drinks,

nobody's going home again tonight, except for me.

Look, this was fun,

but you should really just go back to your wife.

Besides my man's coming in tonight, so I have to go see him.

- Wait, your man, you got a man?

- Yeah, I got a man just like you have a wife.

Good night, dive bar.

- What?

- Hey, hey baby,

I'm sorry I didn't hear my phone ring.

How are you?

Is your mom okay?

Is everything all right?

- She's fine, Todd!

And you know what?

Screw you!

(insects chirping) (phone beeping)

(slow tempo jazz music)

(car beeps)

- [Dr. Terry] Ms. Edwards, you all right?

- Oh, Dr. Terry, I'm sorry.

- No, no, I should be apologizing.

I shouldn't sneak up on people like that.

- No, it's okay really.

It's just been a crazy day for me.

- Yeah, I see.

You should go home and get some rest.

Your mother will be fine here overnight.

- Thanks, Doctor.

But if you don't mind,

I'd like to be here when she wakes up.

- Ma'am, I really think you-

- Janice.

- Janice, I don't mean to push,

but your mother will be fine.

She'll sleep through the night.

Go home to your husband.

- He's in school in Atlanta.

I'm the last thing on his mind.

- I find that hard to believe.

- And why is that, Doctor?

- Because no man in his right mind

could help but to worry about a woman as beautiful as you.

- Come on, Dr. Terry.

- Shawn.

- Dr. Terry.

(phone buzzes)

Guess you should get back to work.

- I guess so.

For what it's worth,

I think your husband is probably a great guy.

I'll see you later, Ms. Edwards.

(slow tempo jazz music)

- Hey, baby.

- Hey, baby.

How you-

- Missed you.

- Hello.

I miss you too.

Goddamn.

So how the crib been?

You, you like it all right?

- Yeah, it's been good.

- It's been good.

- I just missed you not being here.

- Well, you know I gotta work a lot

and take care of you, right?

- [Sharon] I know.

- You know.

- I'm grateful.

- You're grateful.

I'm grateful. (chuckles)

It's okay.

Don't worry about it, I want you.

Let's just enjoy the time while we are here, okay?

- Okay.

So when are you moving in?

- For real, Sharon?

Damn.

With, with this again.

All right, we talked about this.

All right, what you want?

- Ricky, it's just lonely without you.

Baby, you told me I'm your forever girl.

- Forever girl?

Baby, you're lucky that you're a kept girl.

All right, look, I told you already, all right?

This is still my house, all right?

Just, just respect that.

Okay?

Come on.

- Okay, so maybe I should go.

- No.

Sharon, baby, I'm sorry.

Okay, look, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

Hey, Sharon.

Look, baby, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry.

Okay, I am truly, I'm sorry.

Okay?

I just, my mind's a little heavy and I'm stressed out.

And I, I just look,

I don't want you to know that other than you,

I gotta go to the studio but other than you,

it's, it's the only piece that I can find to,

to clear my mind through all this, okay?

- Okay, Ricky.

- Look, I, I need you to understand

and know that I am, I'm sorry.

And you are my peace.

- Can I ask a question?

- Yes, ask me anything you want, Sharon.

- When you look in my eyes, what do you see?

- What do I see?

A beautiful body.

- Not my body, Ricky.

Not sex.

What do you see when you look at me?

- You know what?

I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm really sick of this right now, okay?

I pay a lot of money, a lot of money

for you to live your work free lifestyle, all right?

And I think that I deserve to get what I want when I want.

- Deserve?

- Yes, deserve.

Look, I understand that you have a lot of money

and you pay for everything.

But the fact of the matter is, I'm a lady.

I'm a woman with feelings and emotions.

You can't just pick me up like an object whenever you want.

- Before you say anything

to jeopardize our little situation, I'm gonna go the studio.

- Of course.

- I want you to,

I want you to think real hard while I'm gone

about how good you really have it here.

(Sharon sighs)

(door creaking) (playful music)

* I'm looking for Nikki

* And all her freaky friends

* I'm looking for

- What the hell?

What the hell did you do in your underwear

and in my goddamn hat?

- No, the question is why you got the bat?

- [Lisa] Brian.

- [Brian] I, I know you upset.

- The whipped cream is- - I can explain.

- [Lisa] Starting to run down my leg.

- Why did you bring her here?

- [Brian] See what happened was.

- Why did you bring her here?

- Listen, that, that's, that's Nikki.

Don't worry about Nikki.

- Who the hell is Nikki?

- That's Lisa.

But Nikki when I'm on the whipped cream.

- Listen, this what happened- - Brian, what's going on?

- Calm down. - Hurry up.

- Calm down.

- Boy, you gotta get her outta here.

How did you know Sharon wasn't coming over here?

- See, she kind of think that's my place.

- If this is your spot, then where's my spot?

- Outside outside.

- Oh, outside.

- Moving over, outside, outside.

I need you, coach.

Don't take me out the game.

I got a lot of riding on this.

- Yo. - Got a lot riding on this.

- She is gonna find out.

That's her best friend.

She's over here all the time.

- I couldn't go far.

My place was too far, so I came here.

Come on, coach.

Don't stop the magic.

* He, he

I'm on, I'm on, I'm on fire.

I'm on fire.

Here take some.

(can hissing)

- You got til morning. - Come on.

Come on. - You got till morning.

- Come on. - You better watch-

- You know I do it.

- You got til morning.

- [Brian] I do it.

- I want everything washed.

- I do it.

- You wash all of my sheets.

Everything that you touch.

- Get out, get out.

- Whoa.

- Same old G.

Come on, sitting at a bar.

I get with you, I get with you.

Hey, hey, stop, stop.

This nigga, he ain't gonna mess up my good night.

I'm coming, Nikki.

(can hissing)

(car engine humming)

(gentle R&B music)

- Thank you.

(car door bangs)

Couldn't sleep, dive bar.

- What are you doing now?

Thought you was going to meet your man.

- You wanna talk about him or you wanna talk about us?

- I just need to talk.

- After we play.

- I'm serious.

- You really wanna do this right now?

- Yes.

This is starting to feel a whole lot more

than just fun to me.

I need to know how you feel.

- (sighs) Why?

Can I ask you a question?

- Yeah.

- Why'd you say you see your future in me

and not in your wife?

- 'Cause things are changing between us.

We're just not the same people anymore.

- Changing how?

Do you still love her?

- I do, but I'm not in love with her.

- (scoffs) I've heard that before.

Goodnight, dive bar.

- Because I'm in love with you.

- What does that mean?

Does that mean you're gonna be with me?

Does that mean you're gonna pick me?

- It means I love you.

- Just stop.

You're in a bad situation.

This is poor timing.

You haven't seen your wife in months.

That doesn't mean you're in love with me.

That means things are changing with her.

- It means I love you.

It means I wanna be with you.

- Don't tell me you wanna be with me

if you can't give me all of you.

I don't want just the nighttime you, or the weekend you,

or the I'm out of town in school you.

I want, I need the Sunday morning you,

the after work you.

The, this is a difficult conversation

but we're gonna have you,

to build our dreams together you,

the few kids running around you, the forever you.

If you can't give me all of that,

then you can't tell me you're in love with me.

And if you can't give me all of that, please, please,

just don't love me.

- I love you and I wanna give you all of me.

I need you to have all of me.

- Stop lying to me, Todd.

- I need you to have the weekend me.

But this is gonna be a difficult conversation.

But we have to have it.

Me, I need to give you all of me because I love you.

- Don't lie to me please.

- I got you.

I got all of you.

- This is starting to feel like the perfect date.

You make me feel like a princess.

- You're nobody's princess.

You are a queen.

- Yeah.

- You're my queen.

- I'm your girl.

I love you.

- Come on.

(car door clicks)

(car door bangs)

- Hey.

- Oh, Dr. Terry, good morning.

How are you?

- Good.

Fully awake now that I see you, Janice.

Have you been here all night?

- Yes, but I did leave a few hours ago to go freshen up.

Now I'm headed in to see my mom.

- I've been monitoring her very closely.

She's doing really good.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Why haven't I heard that from the other doctors?

- Eh, kind of told 'em I wanted to be the first

to deliver the good news to you.

We anticipated full recovery.

- Are you serious?

Oh, you smell so good.

Oh my God I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to say that out loud.

- No need to apologize.

Thank you.

You smell quite intoxicating yourself.

- See, look, I'm married and you're-

- No disrespect to your husband,

but if my woman was hurting,

then I'm hurting and there's nothing I could think about.

- Let me get a shot, Steph Curry.

(Todd laughs)

Come on, man, game six.

There we go.

You on fire today.

Come on, let me get one.

- [Todd] Back boy.

Oh. - You calling stuff now.

Who's got your head in the clouds?

- Come on man.

- Let me guess, Sharon.

- She got me, man.

- Uh-huh, I bet she do.

Did y'all get up last night?

- Hey, you clean my sheets?

- Come on, keep sweat,

why you keep sweating about these sheets, man?

- I'm saying that's the first last time

you ever bring somebody in my house.

- I got you.

It's an isolated situation.

I didn't want her to know the crypto king living like this.

Come on now.

- Whatever.

Nah, I actually brought her back here.

We ain't do nothing but we sat, we talked.

Much needed.

- I hear you.

So that means you going to poker tonight, right?

- Nah, man, I gotta study.

- It's all good.

We gonna be there all night.

Come through when you done.

- After I get through, I'm going to see Sharon.

- Oh, okay.

Look, I got a quick question for you.

When the last time you called Janice, checked on her mom?

Come on, bro.

Dude, that's your wife, man.

This thing with Sharon supposed to be a wham bam.

You falling in love, man.

This is.

- We just not on the same page.

- What you mean y'all ain't on the same page?

- We've been different people for a long time.

We don't click like that no more.

Now you know who I do click with?

Sharon.

- Yeah. - That's who I'm with.

- Yeah, I bet.

But you know what?

That's the same thing you said about Janice

and you about to throw it all the way for a free.

Whoa.

Oh, it's like that.

It's like that.

- Watch your mouth.

- No, you watch your mouth, bro.

I'm looking out for you.

You the one married?

Yeah.

Yeah, you the one married.

Matter of fact, just get out, bruh.

Look, let me come here.

- Dusty ass house.

- What you mean dusty house?

- I don't even like crypto.

- What if she was doing the same thing you was doing?

Had her some on the side just to knock the edge off.

- She ain't like that. - Ease the pain way.

- She ain't like that. - You don't what she,

you don't know what she like

because your mama don't have cancer.

Your wife didn't leave you to go to school in Atlanta.

'Cause when it rains, it rains.

And let me tell you something else.

Parked cars get hit too all the time.

You don't want nobody to come down in that hospital lobby,

see your wife over there crying, needing comfort.

And they go over there and comfort her.

Now what kind she's expecting?

I don't know.

But you should be the one doing it.

And if not, you who bro?

A real friend will help you move.

A best friend will help you hide the body.

I just know where all the bodies at.

I know you all caught up in your emotions, man,

so it ain't personal, but I always got your back, Todd.

All right? - Appreciate it.

- All right.

Now get your ass outta my house now.

Now out my house.

- Don't like cryptocurrency anyway.

- Damn lemon peppers.

- [Todd] Dusty ass house.

- Wipe your feet.

- [Todd] Hey.

- You looking like Fred Flintstone.

Wipe your feet.

- [Todd] I love you too.

- Whatever.

Call me later, bro.

- [Todd] I got you.

(slow tempo mandolin music)

(group chattering)

- You like a gel nail?

- Yeah, we can do gel today.

- Gel today okay. - That's fine.

- What color do you want?

- White. - White?

- Mm-hmm. - Okay.

White beautiful and long.

- Yes, please.

- I like white too.

You have a boyfriend?

- Sometimes, girl, sometimes.

What about you, you got a boyfriend?

- Not yet, baby.

- Nancy's a player.

- So girl, why are you so quiet?

What's gotten into you today?

- She's been grinning since she walked in the door.

- I'm telling you.

- Just thinking about Todd that's all.

(Lisa chuckles)

- Dive bar.

She's talking about dive bar.

- Girl, yes.

- He wants me to call him Todd.

(Keisha chuckles)

- Oh, excuse me.

Y'all must be official then.

- Yeah, Todd is different.

- Girl, he's fine.

I'm happy for you.

- Thank you.

- Period.

- Fine and married.

Look, I'm sorry, sis.

I just don't wanna see you hurt.

- I understand.

But Todd is different.

The way he looks at me, the way he holds me,

I just feel free when I'm with him.

- Um, what about the wife?

- Yes, girl, what about the wife?

- Look he's gonna pick me.

- Oh, poor baby.

Girl, you know these men rarely ever leave their wives.

I mean, they might talk about it,

but they rarely ever leave for real.

- Why can't you just be happy for me?

- First of all,

this one's supposed to be fun until Ricky was ready.

- Oh, please, Ricky.

- What if Ricky's never ready?

What you want her to do?

She's young.

She deserves to be happy too.

- Thank you.

- All right.

It's okay, you just been dickmatized and stuff.

He put that act right all up in you.

You'll be okay.

- So. - But you know what, sis?

As long as you're happy, I'm happy.

But tell Todd, don't make us jump him, okay?

Oh, that's my skin, Nancy.

Skin.

- I need a boyfriend.

I'm trying to get one.

- Okay, no rough long.

If you want longer, long money.

- Oh, longer, longer money.

I'm gonna use that.

- Oh, I gotta find a man with long money.

- [Lisa] Period.

- You have the money, whatever you want, baby.

- Okay. - Okay.

- You have the money whatever you like.

(Janice sighs)

- You're gonna get through this, Mama.

Just keep fighting.

(knuckles tapping)

- Sorry to interrupt.

I was just heading for lunch

and wanted to see if you wanted something.

Maybe it'd be good for you to get out.

- I don't know.

I kind of just wanna be here when she wakes up.

- You need to eat.

And the cafeteria food is horrible.

(Janice and Dr. Terry chuckle)

- It is pretty horrid.

All right, I'll go, but it can't be too long.

- I only got an hour for lunch,

so the clock is ticking for me too.

- (sighs) Wow, now that is a beautiful car.

- You know, I try.

- Stop.

This is not your car.

- [Dr. Terry] Your chariot awaits, my lady.

- Oh, what a gentleman.

(car door bangs)

(car door clicks)

- Oh.

Are you comfortable?

- I bet you do this for all the girls.

You're a player, aren't you?

- I used to be, but that part of me is dried up.

- (scoffs) At least you can admit it.

- I come to the realization

that I don't want that to be a part of my life anymore.

I just want to give my heart to one special lady.

- You ready for that?

All of you also means she can give you all of her.

- That's all I can think about.

I want a family.

- You're gonna make some woman real happy.

(slow tempo brooding music)

(insects chirping)

Oh my God, Terry.

We've been here for hours.

- I told 'em I had an emergency.

I'm covered.

Plus, I didn't want my time with you to end.

- What was the big emergency, Dr. Terry?

- Repair a broken heart.

- (sighs) Look before this goes any further.

- I think it's always good to be in the present.

(Janice sighs)

- I'm sorry, Terry, but I'm married.

I, I took vows to Todd.

I, I can't hurt him like this.

- And where was he when you were hurting?

- Please just, just take me back to the hospital.

- You're right.

You're a good woman.

Of course you can't do this.

I'll take you back.

- Maybe in another life.

- Yeah, another life.

Timing is everything.

Let's go check on your mom.

- Damn, it took you long enough.

- [Lisa] (chuckles) Boy, shut up.

- Got the drink from last time.

- Mm-hmm.

So you caught me saying it was about Sharon.

What's going on?

- Look, you and your girl, y'all cool.

But this thing between her and Todd, it's gotta stop.

- Right, it, it, it is getting outta hand.

Honestly, I don't even know what to do.

- I mean, every conversation, Sharon this, Sharon that.

- Same word, Todd this, Todd that.

I'm like, girl.

I don't know what we gonna do.

- I mean, we still could hook 'em up with other people.

- First of all, that ain't gonna work for Sharon.

You know she's too picky.

- Damn.

(tongue clicking)

Hmm, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking.

Well, I definitely can't call Janice

'cause her mom's still dealing with cancer

and I cannot snitch on Todd.

- I was just about to tell you to call the wife.

- [Brian] No, that's too cold.

- How about this?

We call Janice, tell her that Todd miss her,

have her fly in, she see them and then boof, it's done.

- You cold-blooded.

- I mean, you know.

- But that could work.

- It's definitely gonna work.

So call her.

Let me know what she says and I'll stay in touch.

- That'll do it.

I'll call her tomorrow.

- All right.

Where you going?

- I'm going home.

- No, you cannot leave me. - By myself.

- Oh my, come on. - Look, okay,

I know, I know you cheap.

- You gonna let me pay for all these drinks

and go like that?

- Well, at least I didn't waste it.

(hand tapping)

- Oh, you gonna hit my head.

- Well, I gotta- - The top and not the.

- [Lisa] I gotta go, gotta go, I gotta go.

- This city girl's gonna kill me.

- [Lisa] I gotta go.

- Mama.

You're awake.

How are you feeling?

Can I get you anything?

Are you comfortable?

- I'm fine, baby.

What's wrong?

I told you I'm not gonna let this beat me.

- Mama, but this is hard.

- For who?

You or me?

I don't see your hair falling out.

- Just thought I might lose you.

- Oh, hush child.

I still got work to do

and I'm not leaving here until I'm done.

Okay? - Okay.

- And besides you owe me some grandkids.

- I know, Mama.

I know.

- Glad to see you're awake, Ms. Robinson.

Let me run a few tests and then I'll be outta your way.

- Mm, my God.

I must be dead, died and go to heaven. (chuckles)

- One second, I'll be outta your way.

- Mm, mm, take your time.

- Mama, stop it, that's the doctor.

- I'm old, but I ain't blind.

- [Janice] Um, Mama, maybe you should get your rest.

- Janice, where is my son-in-law?

- He's in school.

Still in Atlanta.

(Leanne sighs)

- Doctor, can you give us a second, please?

- No problem.

I'll be back in one second.

- Have you lost your mind?

- What, Mama?

- Like I said, I ain't blind, you a married woman.

I see how you looking at that doctor

and he looking at you like that.

- [Janice] Mama, it's nothing for you to worry about, okay?

- If your husband is in Atlanta,

then you need to be there to support him and love him

before somebody else will.

- Well, what am I supposed to do, Mama?

You're here fighting cancer

and he felt his school was more important.

- Baby, he is focused on your, your future.

- I don't, I don't know, Mom.

- Janice, just go back home to be with your husband.

(Janice sighs)

- [Dr. Terry] Sorry to interrupt.

I do need your mom to get some rest.

And visiting hours are officially over.

- It's okay, baby.

I'll be fine for the night.

- Okay.

All right.

- I love you. - See you.

I love you too.

I'll see you tomorrow, Mama.

- All right.

- Okay.

I just want to do a little bit more testing

and I'll be outta your way so you get some rest.

- Doctor Friendly,

you sure are a beautiful black chocolate man.

But leave your chocolate away from my daughter.

Okay?

- I think you have the wrong idea about me there.

- No, I got the right idea.

Just do me a favor, leave my daughter alone.

(upbeat music)

(gentle music)

- Wow.

- Hey, baby.

- Hey, you did all this for me?

- Yeah.

I know how important that test was for you

so I just wanted to do a little special.

- [Todd] Thank you.

- You're welcome.

You wanna have some of this cake?

- I absolutely want my cake first.

I like to have my dessert before my meals.

(both laugh)

- So it's your day, what do you wanna do?

- Well, since we always go to the dive bar,

there's this place, a jazz restaurant that I heard about,

I'd like to take you there.

- Okay.

That sounds fun.

- You have a fork?

- Yeah, let me get that for you.

All right, we'll do that.

Is there anything else you'd like to do?

(sultry music)

- You.

(Sharon giggles)

(phone buzzing)

- What's up, big head?

- (laughs) What going on, Janice?

How you doing?

Matter of fact, how your mom doing?

- She's doing better.

- That's good news.

That's the best news I heard all week.

Does Todd know?

- No, not yet.

We haven't talked today.

I, I kind of said something really mean to him.

I mean, I was just angry and I wasn't right.

- Oh, well, look, don't beat yourself up about that.

Things happen in relationships, especially marriages.

But got a quick question and I hope I'm not crossing my,

you know, my boundaries.

But do you still love Todd?

- Of course I do.

He's, he's my rock.

He's been my everything for 10 years.

I wouldn't just throw that away.

I was just mad.

- Okay, well, I, I think you should come visit him.

- Why?

What's going on, Brian?

- Yeah, everything's good.

No pressure.

He just, you know, been down a lot, you know,

just small stuff, that's all.

Yeah, have you said anything about a divorce?

- No, I'm not looking to divorce him.

- That's good to know.

- Look, I can get there next weekend.

I'm gonna call him right now and apologize.

- Nah, you might wanna wait till tomorrow to call him.

- And why wouldn't today be a good day to call him?

- No, no, no, I'm not saying you can't call your husband.

Todd had that test today

and I know last time I talked to him,

he was real nervous about it.

- Oh my God, that's today.

I can't believe I forgot.

Everything with my mom I just.

- Yeah, that's why I said just wait.

But look, I still think you need to come up.

Y'all have a nice quiet dinner.

Spend some romantic time together, maybe catch a movie.

I think this will be good for y'all.

And don't worry about the plane ticket.

I'm gonna handle all that for you.

Got enough on your plate right now.

- Aw, thanks Brian.

- Oh, you know, I got you.

You know, you family, but just, hey,

don't forget now when you had your kids,

your little Janices and your little TJ's running around,

who they godfather is.

- Oh, we gonna work on that. (chuckles)

- (laughs) Ooh, that's TMI.

That's, that's, hey, that between you and that man.

(laughs) Cool.

(Janice laughing)

Well, look, I gotta get up outta here.

When I finalize the flight information, I'll text you that.

Okay? - All right.

I'll see you this weekend.

- All right, cool.

I'll see you soon.

All right, peace.

(siren wailing)

(both laugh)

- You know green my favorite color.

- Is it?

- It is.

- Oh well, then it worked out.

- It did work out, like you did it on purpose. (chuckles)

You know, I really want to take things

to the next level with you.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

(Sharon chuckles)

I, I'm gonna leave my wife.

- You know, I ended things with Ricky,

the guy I was talking to.

This is, this is the best night.

- I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

(slow tempo suspenseful music)

(tires screeching) (car crashing)

(ominous music)

(suspenseful music)

- Yeah, it's not a good look, sir.

Yeah, it's looking real bad of him, man.

Real, real bad.

Few cars.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, who are you?

- I'm Brian.

- You Brian? - Yes, I'm Brian.

Where's Todd?

Did he get hit?

- He's fine. - Is he okay?

- But his date, not so fortunate.

- Oh, man, come on.

- Look man, when he's feeling better,

have him give me a call.

My card.

(brooding jazz music)

- Hey.

- [Lisa] Hello?

- I'm just checking on you.

How you holding up?

- [Lisa] I don't know how to feel right now, Brian.

- Me either.

Todd not doing, he's not doing well either.

(Lisa crying)

He just keep, he just keeps screaming her name.

- [Lisa] I'm sorry, I just can't right now, Brian.

I gotta go.

- Okay.

Bye.

(phone clicks)

(slow tempo gentle music) (birds chirping)

(man vocalizing)

* If you find the other side

* Find the other side

* You've been on my mind

* Oh, you found the other side

* I know if you

(man vocalizing)

* The other side

* No question what you've done for me

* Even though sometimes I feel unlucky

* Mm, look at me, mm

* Look at me

* Still standing, still standing, I'm still standing

* Still standing, still standing

(Leanne groans)

- Good morning, Mama.

How you feeling?

- Where's my son-in-law?

- Stop it, Mama.

You'll be happy to know, I'm gonna see Todd this weekend.

- Good for you.

(Janice laughs)

- Good morning.

Hi, I'm Dr. Anderson.

I just came to check on you.

How are you feeling today?

- Good.

- How'd you sleep? - Excuse me.

But Dr. Anderson, where's Dr. Terry?

- Unfortunately, he went away on some family business.

He had an emergency.

So he'll be going for a couple of days.

- [Janice] Huh.

(slow tempo jazz music)

- You get some rest, okay?

Do you mind walking outside

and speaking with me for a second

so I can fill you in a couple of things?

- Of course.

(door creaking)

- What's going on, man?

- What you want, B?

- I just came to check on you.

Got Lisa with me.

- I'm sorry.

This, it was, it was all my fault.

- No, it's not, Todd.

- I just.

I, I just don't know how to go on.

- Listen to me right now.

I need you to be strong, Todd.

- I'm trying to be strong.

- Please, her parents are coming in town

and they're gonna need us.

- I'm gonna find out whoever did this.

- Man. - I'm gonna find 'em.

I'm gonna find 'em, I'm telling you, I'm gonna find out.

- Todd, you gonna go out there and get yourself killed.

- If it's my time, then it's my time.

- Todd, please listen to yourself.

I need you to stop and focus on your life

and focus on healing, please.

Brian, tell him.

- Tell me what, Brian.

- Made a call to Janice.

She'll be here tomorrow.

- You did what?

- Look, you my best friend and I was not,

I wasn't gonna let you go that way.

- So you think I could just replace Sharon like that?

- Nobody's asking you to replace Sharon,

but you cannot replace Janice!

- Get out.

- That's your wife.

- Get out!

- Todd, don't.

- Get out.

- Todd.

Let's do this.

(Lisa crying)

- [Lisa] Do you have my things at your place?

- [Brian] I'll get 'em.

- Todd.

Todd, wake up.

Why so sad, silly?

I'm here.

- I watched you die.

- You did.

I've never felt more free.

Baby, you showed me

what it was like to experience real love.

- I want to be with you.

I belong with you.

- Todd, I'm always with you.

- Hey man, I know you, I know you told me to leave,

but there's a candle lighting tonight.

You wanna roll?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

- And I know it's the last thing

you need to be worried about,

but I need the last few things

of Sharon's to give to Lisa,

so she can give 'em to her parents.

- Okay.

Hey. - Yeah.

- My bad for snapping on you early, man.

- We brothers, man, no apology needed,

but I'll be in the car.

You take your time, okay?

- All right.

(door creaking)

Lee.

Thanks.

(door creaking)

(melancholic music)

(car doors banging)

- It'll be all right, man.

Come on, I got you.

I got you.

Got you.

- Todd, meet Nina.

She was Sharon's little sister.

- How you doing?

I'm Todd.

- I know who you are.

My sister and I spoke every night.

- She never mentioned a sister.

- That sounds like Sharon.

She was, was always looking to protect me.

- I, I tried to protect her.

I did, I, I really tried.

- Sharon was looking for love her entire life

until she met you, Todd.

- (crying) She gave me life.

- You gave her life.

- Let's just do the right thing

and honor her together tonight.

- Where are her parents?

- They couldn't be here.

My family's not dealing with this very well right now.

I just, I'm just glad she's at peace now.

Can you stand with me, Todd?

(Todd and Nina crying)

First, thank you all for coming and honoring with my family

and I in our time of need.

My sister Sharon was a complicated person,

(Todd crying)

but a sweethearted person.

(Todd crying)

She wasn't perfect but she,

she always just wanted to bring the good out of people.

And I look at this as a transition

from her time on earth to now being in heaven.

- I got you, man.

(Nina crying)

(Todd crying)

(Todd and Nina crying)

Todd, Todd, Todd.

- Let him go.

He gotta find his own way.

Let him go.

(Todd crying)

(Nina crying)

(Nina crying)

(Nina crying)

- [Nina] Love you, sis.

(Todd crying)

(Lisa crying)

(upbeat jazz music)

- My man, bar's closing in five minutes.

Last call for drink is about 20 minutes ago.

You ain't gotta go home, but you know.

- I don't, I don't want to drink.

Just let me sit here for a few more seconds.

- I heard about Sharon.

Sweet girl.

- I just don't know how I'm gonna go on man.

Just.

- Stop it.

Gonna go on 'cause you got no choice.

- What?

- Look I told you from day one

when I saw that ring on your finger,

what are you doing here?

- It just kind of happened.

- It just kind of happened.

What kind of happened?

You saw a beautiful woman and you couldn't control yourself.

This is Atlanta.

We got a lot of beautiful women, trust me.

That's how I got divorced.

- It wasn't about looks.

She was, man-

- She was special.

Then remember her that way.

- I thought you said you wasn't-

- It's on the house.

Just remember what I said.

(brooding music)

(doorbell ringing)

- Sharon.

Sharon.

One second.

One second, I'm coming.

(door clicks)

Yeah, oh, Janice.

- Hey.

- [Todd] Hey, hey, hey.

What are you doing here?

- Surprise, baby.

- Why didn't you tell me you was coming?

I could came to the airport and got you.

- Oh well Brian and I thought it'd be a great idea

to surprise you.

And baby before you say anything,

I owe you the biggest apology.

- Nah.

It's okay, come on.

- No, no, no baby, I do, I do.

I've been so wrong with how I've treating you.

And you know my mom got sick

and selfishly I was just thinking about myself

and not you. - It's okay.

Really it is.

- You sure you're okay?

I mean, I'm happy to see you,

but you don't seem happy to see me.

- I'm happy to see you.

It's just I'm, I'm surprised is all.

- You sure 'cause if you need me to leave I will.

- Sharon baby, you don't have to go anywhere.

It's fine.

Okay.

You hungry? - What did you call me?

- I said babe.

- You called me Sharon.

- Babe I called you.

- Who the hell is Sharon?

- I didn't say Sharon.

- Yes, you did.

- Baby, you trying to,

are you trying to start an argument or?

- It's looking mighty clean in here

and I know you don't clean.

Did Sharon do that?

- Oh, my God.

- Tell the truth Todd, who is she?

- Do you really want to have this conversation right now?

- Oh, we need to have it.

- Listen, I have a few more months left in school.

Let me finish school, okay?

That's what I'm focused on.

(Janice sighs)

- So that's what you're focused on.

What about us Todd?

What about our marriage?

- What about our marriage?

Huh?

You ain't been focused on our marriage

since your mom got sick.

Ever since she got sick you shut me out all the way.

Shut me out long before I got here.

- So are you saying you want a divorce?

- I don't know.

- I don't know.

What are you saying?

- I don't know.

- You don't know if you want be married

or you don't know if you wanna be married to me?

- I don't know.

- Wow.

Sharon must be a real special lady.

- She was a special lady.

- Well where is she?

Can I at least meet the woman who's replacing me?

- Janice, no one is replacing you and no you can't meet her.

- Why?

- Because she's dead!

- What do you mean she's dead?

- She's dead, she's dead and she ain't never coming back!

- You loved her?

You slept with her?

- I did.

(hands slap)

(ring clangs)

Janice, Janice, hey, hey.

- Don't you touch me.

Don't you ever touch me.

- Janice, you don't wanna talk about this?

- I have nothing to say to you.

You can talk to my attorney.

I am done with you and this marriage.

- Janice.

Janice, Janice.

I always thought that that's what would happen

but I think I travel the world now.

- If you like. - That's good.

- That's cool.

- Couple places I want to visit.

I didn't order another drink.

- Compliments of the lady at the end of the bar.

- All right, either I'm drunk

or the woman at the end of the bar is Janice.

- Depends on how many shots you had.

- I still ain't forgave y'all

for the last time y'all did that.

- Of course.

Well, congrats on your big accomplishment.

- Thanks.

How long are you in town?
