Original subtitles

Hey, no. You asked my opinion.

Come on, Regine, that's just not Flavor.

I'm telling you, men in tiny bathing suits

sell magazines.

So, what do you think, Marky Mark is famous for his singing?

Marky Mark sings?

Come on, Khadijah, women can appreciate the beauty of

the male body without feeling embarrassed or ashamed.

Umm. I'm embarrassed and ashamed.

What?

But what would my readers think?

What will we be saying about men?

The same thing that they say about us.

Damn, look where they put that staple. Ugh.

[instrumental music]

So, how do I look, huh?

You look like Blackula.

You know what your problem is?

You do not appreciate fine clothing.

As evidenced by the Jethro Jumpsuit.

Go change.

Don't wanna change.

Come on, Overton, man it's not every day I get asked

to host the executive poker game.

Hey, man, you don't understand. These are my lucky clothes.

See, this is what I was wearing

when I snaked out Miss Jensen's sink

and found this lovely Timex.

Okay, fine. Look like a farmer.

But at least be pleasant to Lawrence, alright?

He's the youngest VP at the firm.

And a word from him in the right ear

I can get bumped up to corporate investor.

So you want me to kiss a little corporate ass, huh?

If you wouldn't mind.

Man, whatever happened to hard work and... dignity?

I am dignity, alright?

And it took hard work to get into this game.

I have been waiting over a year and a half

to hear those magic words, "Fred died and you're in."

[doorbell ringing]

Ah, that's them.

Evening, fellas.

What'd I tell you?

The new guy always overdresses.

[laughing]

You better get that hot comb away from me, Synclaire.

But, Khadijah, I'm not done.

Yes, you are.

I don't have no more neck for you to blister.

Hey, don't you worry.

I got a Patti LaBelle wig that will cover that up right nicely.

[doorbell ringing]

Hi.

I got pizza for Kyle Barker. He live here?

‐ No. ‐ You want 'em? They're yours.

But won't that get you fired?

Yeah.

And?

Four pizzas? Hmm, I smell a party going on.

That's right. And we're not invited.

I say we eat that pizza.

Oh, that's not right. That's eating their party food.

Synclaire's right. Let's crash.

Oh, sure, hanging a door with two hinges is sufficient.

But for stability and balance

there's nothing like a three hinge hang.

Now, chase 'em with window‐‐.

Oh, oh, Overton, Overton, Overton, Overton.

I believe the question was "How many cards?"

Three, as in, three hinges.

Weren't you listening?

I like this guy.

Farmer, huh?

‐ I'll take just one. ‐ 'There you go.'

Uh, two for me and make 'em good this time.

Two little puppies looking for a home.

I'll take three and no cutsie talk.

Three for the man with no sense of humor.

I'll take one, yeah.

Alright, I'm opening with $2. Come on.

‐ See that $2. ‐ Come on.

Anyone check out that new temp in the County?

‐ Oh.. ‐ Woo!

Oh, yeah, her body's a nine but the windshield factor

brings her down to about a four.

‐ Oh. ‐ 'Yeah.'

Yeah, but she's got a nice pair of igloos on her.

[laughing]

‐ Right, Dean? ‐ Uh, I love my wife.

I love my wife.

Dean just got married.

Yeah, guess he figured he was getting too much sex.

Well, I tell you what, all of you can forget about that temp.

Because she's already on my to‐do list very, very much.

Oh, my!

[doorbell ringing]

‐ Who is it? ‐ 'Pizza.'

[indistinct chattering]

Sorry, we late but you forgot to invite..

Thank you, thank you and pay you later.

Bye.

Oh, poker. My game.

Uh‐uh. My game. A man's game.

What are you saying, we're too wimpy to play?

Yes, and thanks for understanding.

Kyle, Kyle, relax. Let the ladies stay.

I mean, haven't you ever heard of lady luck?

I think I just met her.

Yes, you heard the man. Step aside.

Okay.

I'm Lawrence.

Regine.

Uh, can we get back to the game?

So, how much is the buy‐in?

Well, maybe Kyle didn't make it plain to you, girls.

It's men only.

Is that right?

Uh, what J. T. Would've said if he had any tact

is that this game is sort of a tradition.

Just a few cavemen and their cards.

Well, maybe you big strong men would let us girls play

if we served you pizza and bend over a lot.

I'll take a pepperoni.

And I know where you'll take it.

Alright, now, you just got your head on, now.

Well, Overton, I'd love to stay but it's time for solidarity.

Come on, Regine.

Uh, excuse you, but I love my mama in Jersey.

Sell out.

‐ Hey. ‐ Put a pizza in there.

Oh, you're very beautiful woman.

But I bet you hear that a lot.

[chuckles]

Well, once more wouldn't hurt.

You're a very beautiful woman

and I would love to have dinner with you tomorrow night.

Well, this is awfully sudden.

Well, I'm suddenly very interested

in getting to know you.

Suddenly, I'm free.

‐ Regine. ‐ Mm‐hmm.

Baby, can you help me with the pizza, please?

Oh, sure, Kyle. Umm‐hmm.

Alright, look.

My promotion is riding on that man's recommendation, alright.

And if he ends up hating you

he could end up hating me.

G‐get to the part of why I care.

Lookie here.

If this doesn't work out.

Pretend you don't know me. Forget you ever knew me.

Act like you never met me, alright.

Done.

But, but, if it does work out..

Tell him you're my cousin.

Cuz.

[instrumental music]

Okay, let's try another hand.

Oh, look at these.

(Max) Alright, Sister.. Here's the deal.

If we're gonna bust in there and beat those Neanderthals

you're gonna have to be able to keep

a straight face, alright?

Now, listen to me 'cause Max ain't no tutor.

And I ain't saying it again.

Got ya. I got ya.

Okay.

Wow!

You know how you could really help us, Synclaire.

By serving plenty of snacks.

Am I on the bench?

Riding pine, baby.

I means that.

Doesn't matter anyway.

I mean, we're never gonna beat those guys

if we don't know their weaknesses.

Overton said he could read those guys like a book.

He won $150 from them.

Oh, yeah. How we gonna get him to rat out the other players?

Oh, please. He's a man, isn't he?

Yes.

Well, just invite him down for coffee and doughnuts.

Guys love that.

[humming]

Oh, there you are!

Good day, Regine.

Oh, it was an evening of bliss.

Mm‐hmm.

Are we talking pure bliss?

Sheer bliss? Or naked bliss?

Max, please.

Lawrence was the perfect gentleman.

Ladies.

Regine..

The stars burned to cinders

trying to compete with your radiant beauty.

No, Kyle, your name didn't come up.

Oh.

So, how did the date go?

Oh, y'all, it was a wonderful evening.

We had dinner at the Rainbow Room.

‐ I had the duck. ‐ Yeah, yeah.

Did you get some sweet lip?

[exhales]

When he brought me home

he asked if I'd like to go

on a picnic in the park next weekend.

And then he gave me the sweetest goodnight kiss..

Right here.

‐ Oh. ‐ Oh.

And then he mentioned something about firing Kyle and drove off.

W‐what?

Joke.

Get a grip.

Ha, ha, ha.

She's funny, huh?

[instrumental music]

I thought I'd wait for the second date.

You know, to make it look like I'm not pressed.

So, I leaned over to give her a little kiss.

And the next thing I know, the girl was all over me.

‐ Ooh! ‐ I love my wife.

I love my wife.

Wait, wait, wait. Dean loves his wife?

Okay, which one of y'all got some?

Who else, my man.

Mm‐hmm.

I'm telling you. This girl practically ripped my shirt off.

[chuckles] Dog.

And then she asked if I wanted to try it standing up.

‐ So, I opened the sun roof. ‐ 'Oh. Sunroof!'

You lucky dawg.

I guess, that temp wasn't as chilly as we thought, huh?

Temp, we're talking about Regine.

[laughing]

‐ Regine? ‐ Yep.

And I'm not one to forget a favor, my brother.

Good move hooking Lawrence up with the freak.

You're on your way up.

Single guys get all the breaks.

Yeah, lucky me.

What a lovely idea.

Inviting me down for international coffee.

Very nurturing.

I hear you and Synclaire had quite a dinner the other night.

Well, need I say more than the Moo and Brew?

Well, my, my, my, Overton.

To afford an evening like that

you must've cleaned up at the poker game the other night, huh?

Well, uh... let me put it to you this way.

Uh‐huh.

Uh, little more sugar please.

Those guys look like they came to play, Overton.

How'd you do it?

Well, I spent the first few hands

kinda holding back, you know.

Checking out other players

until I could predict their every move.

Wow, that's impossible.

Give us some examples.

Now, now, ladies.

You wouldn't be asking me to betray the trust

of my poker companions now, would you?

‐ Uh! Why? ‐ That's terrible.

That's just wrong.

Well, well. Too bad.

'Cause I don't like the way those suit wearin' no necks

treated you in the first place.

And I'd be more than happy to give 'em up.

Please do.

Alright, then.

Allow me.

Now, when Lawrence is bluffing.

He sucks his teeth like this.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

Now, Dean.

Now, whenever he has a lousy hand..

Starts every sentence with.

"Well, well, well, well, well.."

J.T. J. T. On the other hand is solid as a rock.

Big stupid rock.

See, you could see his card in his glass.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

What?

Must you do that now?

If not now when?

If not me who?

What you so testy about, man?

You know I always buff on the fifteenth.

Oh, yes, the ides of Overton.

Huh.. What's bugging you, man?

Alright, man, you, you know how Regine went out with Lawrence

the other night, right?

Right.

Well, today man at the office

he was telling all these lies.

Talking about Regine like she was some kind of skeez.

Serious?

Word man.

Hmm, so you went off on him

and now you're afraid he's gonna ruin your job, huh?

Well, hey you do the right thing, brother.

Go on and hit that rock.

I'm sorry, man.

You said nothing?

But look it's not like I haven't been

agonizing over this all day.

I mean, I‐I know Regine doesn't deserve

to be dragged through the gutter

so Lawrence can feel like a man.

But, it's none of my business, right?

I mean, you know, Regine is grown.

She's a big girl, she can take care of herself, right?

Yeah and Lawrence was this close to

giving you that promotion, right?

You damn right. Man, and I worked hard for that promotion.

So I should keep my mouth shut, yeah?

Sure. Long as you don't mind not sleeping at night.

I can get a lot of reading done.

Man, whoo.

It works for me Load off my mind. Thanks, bro.

Eh, be careful man 'cause I..

Just got finished buffing in there.

‐ Deal, what you got? ‐ I got a pair of threes.

‐ I got a pair of sevens. ‐ Pair of queens, baby.

Six high straight. What you got?

King high straight.

Sorry, guys.

I guess lady luck still got her touch, huh?

When were you ever in doubt?

[door bell ringing]

I'll get it.

‐ This is my deal? ‐ Yeah.

‐ Hi, Overton. ‐ Ladies. What a surprise?

Oh, look.

In Vogue is back.

Well, we just came by to apologize

for our behavior last week.

Uh, we didn't mean to intrude like that.

That's right. 'Cause we didn't have enough money on us.

Zesty ranch or mule‐kicking salsa?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait, wait.

You don't really expect to play, do you?

What are you afraid of?

The worst we can do is kick your butts.

Hey, guys, you know, if the ladies wants us to divest them

of their funds I think we should oblige them this once.

Okay, alright. I can do that.

Okay.

How about five card draw? Two's a wild.

Well, we don't play wild cards, girlfriend.

He‐he‐he..

We don't, huh?

Well, in that case it's high low stud down the river jack's back.

Cut 'em money.

I'm out.

Well, I'll see that five and

well, I'll raise you ten.

Well, I'll see that fifteen

and I'll raise you thirty five.

Whoo.. It's gettin' steep.

That's fifty to you, Khadijah.

Well, you only live once.

Well, well..

'Well, well..'

‐ Fold, Dean, fold. ‐ I fold.

Well, that just leaves us.

Since you wanna play a man's game.

It's gonna cost you

another fifty dollars.

The tension mounts.

Fifty, huh?

Mmm‐hmm.

I call.

Can you beat a pair of eights?

Hell yes.

But what about that full house baby?

Guess the cards didn't know it was a man's game.

I did not come here to get whacked by these bitches.

Uh, who you calling a bitch?

‐ Alright, watch yourself. ‐ Set it off.

‐ No. No. No. ‐ Set it off.

Hold up. Hold up. I think Kyle gonna handle this one.

Look it's just an expression.

No, man, it's a jacked up attitude.

How dare you come in my house and disrespect my friends.

And talking all that garbage about Regine yesterday.

‐ Man, who do you think you are? ‐ What, wait, wait a minute.

Let's back it up here. Back it up, back it up.

What you say about me?

Go ahead, Lawrence.

Tell her what you said you did on your first date.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Man, get outta my house.

And there ain't gonna be no picnic either.

You're a big disappointment to me.

Yeah, likewise. I'm sure. Press, man.

‐ Stupid move, Kyle. ‐ Why are you here?

I respect a guy who can stand up and say what he really feels.

Uh, just don't‐don't tell, Lawrence.

Uh, Regine, I'm sorry, baby.

Yeah, me too, Kyle.

Hey, gotta give you credit, shorty.

You stood up to the man

who holds your future in the palm of his hands.

A man who could take that future and

crush it into a million pieces.

A man who could take those million pieces

drop 'em to the ground

and grind them up with his mighty boot.

Then take said pieces

and turn it into dust

and make the dust fly. Fly.

Oh, Regine, would you like a yogurt covered peanut

to ease your pain?

Again, I'm fine. Okay?

Look, y'all, I'm not gonna let this man get to me.

Shoot, I'm going home, take a nice hot bath

chill out and just relax, right.

And then tomorrow I'mma have the brother's

gas, water and electric turned off.

I hope things are gonna be cool for you at work tomorrow.

I'll be alright.

I mean who needs corporate back biting and brown nosing anyway.

I've got greed on my side.

I'm bringing in more new accounts

than anybody else, okay.

Well, Kyle, if that little girl Lawrence ever tries

to get you fired, don't worry about it, brother

you got a lawyer.

Max, you'd represent me?

Yeah, of course.

I mean, I don't let my personal feelings interfere with my work.

I can represent you and despise you at the same time.

‐ How many cards, baby? ‐ One.

There you go. Dealer take one.

Yippee.

‐ Aww, man.. ‐ Yeah, yeah.

Chumps, I was bluffin'. Give me money.

Moo and Brew, huh?

Moo and Brew them all, baby.

Moo and Brew them all.
