Ricky and Tara are a recently divorced couple navigating the challenges of co-parenting their young son while recovering from the wounds of their failed relationship. But after moving on to new partners, they soon find the grass isn't quite greener and they might just want that old thing back. Will they take a second shot at love?
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
(pen scratching)
- [Henry] It's not funny to me.
- [Tyra] It's not funny?
See, he always counters
what I have to say.
That's the problem.
- Listen,
she thinks everything's
a big joke,
because all she wants
to do is take my money.
- How does it make me feel
that he put a baby inside
me and that he walks off,
and then he talks about
how I'm a lowlife,
but he can't give me
any money to do anything
with his son.
- First of all,
I don't walk off, all right?
- I really can't stand him.
Try to keep your mouth
quiet for a minute.
- Can you talk to her?
'Cause I damn sure
don't wanna hear you.
- Henry!
He's either happy, one
extreme, or he's pissed.
I should've never named
- Do you see what I'm sayin'?
- my son after him.
- She's fuckin' crazy.
- Poor excuse for a man.
- You would've left, okay?
- I have little
anger issue.
- She got a big anger issue.
- Shu-ju-ju-ju.
- Yeah, look at you.
- See?
You just wanna hear
yourself talk all the time.
- Let me hear you talk.
- I damn sure don't wanna
hear you talk.
I don't have to do this.
Right.
- You can take the man
out the ghetto,
you can't take the
ghetto out the man.
Projects.
- You already know I been
sayin' that to her
ass, all right?
- Anger issues.
- Yes, I got anger issues!
- That's--
- You takin' my fuckin' money.
It's hard-earned money.
- There's no fine
line with this man.
I just got a job.
- What the hell am I doin' here?
- You run your mouth so much.
Let me tell you,
let me talk to her.
- She just got a job.
McDonald's is far from a
motherfuckin' job.
- See.
I told you this wouldn't help.
You always have to be right.
About everything.
Make sense out of everything.
Everything is not
supposed to make sense.
That was something my
grandma Pam used to say.
Everything is not
supposed to make sense.
My grandma was a wise woman.
She lived to be 92 before
we laid her to rest.
She was smiling and kind.
She told me to
remember one thing.
A man will treat you exactly
the way you allow him to.
And that the road
to self-respect was
not an easy one,
and that you may not like
what you find along the way.
* Another day
* I'm feelin' stuck
* Don't wanna move, baby
* I just wanna lose ya
* I'm bound to lose
* But I don't want
the new stuff *
* Confused, I always choose us
* Call me crazy
'cause it's true *
* I can't tell if I'm
still in love with you *
* 'Cause my thoughts
are far away *
* You know my mind
is goin', babe *
* Comfort is a killer
* But I'd rather be complacent
* I don't wanna move
* 'Cause it might be a mistake
* If I go, if I stay
(phone ringing)
* Round and round we go I know
* Our love's a circle
we never seem to know *
- Hello.
- Henry.
I need to talk to you.
- What? I'm busy.
- Yeah, yeah, okay.
I'm on my way to work, but can
I ask you for a quick favor?
- Tyra, come on.
I'm workin' out,
what do you need?
- I need about $100.
- Listen, I told
you not to put him
in them expensive-ass
schools, didn't I?
- Yeah, it's not
that much money.
- Listen, I went
to public schools.
That's all I needed, right?
- What do you want?
I don't want him hangin'
out on the streetcorner.
He has to have a good education.
- Call me back later.
- Hello?
Hello.
(phone ringing)
- [Henry] What?
- Henry, don't hang
up the phone on me.
I wanna finish
this conversation.
- [Henry] Why, again, are
you asking me for money?
- Why am I asking you for money?
Because it's your son.
- [Henry] And I turned out fine.
- Yeah, look how you turned out.
Mm-hm.
If I didn't hide that gun,
you woulda got three
more years in prison.
- Tyra, that's a low blow.
Now, you know I changed my life.
- Well, change your son's life.
Why don't you give him a chance
to make something of his life?
Maybe with this head start, he
can go to Ivy League school.
You know, get some
opportunities,
see what the world has to offer.
Or what, you want
him to grab a beer
and hang out with you and
your boys on the corner?
- I resent you for sayin' that.
You know nine outta
10 businesses fail?
- Yeah?
Well, failure is
a chance to learn,
not an excuse to quit, Henry.
- You know, you
so damn dramatic.
You know, you
missed your callin'.
You coulda had
three Oscars by now.
- Mm-hm.
And you coulda got three
more years in the pen
if I didn't hide
that gun for you.
You owe me.
I mean, all I'm askin' for
is $100 for your
son's school trip.
- No, I'm not gonna
give you $100!
Listen, when I was in
school, field trips cost $10.
- Henry, it's for your
son's science trip.
They gotta ride in
a bus for two hours.
- Look, why don't you just get
the money from your new man?
- Yeah.
Well, that man?
He bought sneakers for your son,
and I felt terrible,
but he needed them.
So how does that make you feel,
another man buyin'
sneakers for your son, huh?
You should feel like
a piece of shit.
- You know what?
If you have any of
them dumbass morons
around my motherfuckin' son!
You know what you are?
A lowdown, vindictive-ass bitch.
That's what you are!
- I'm the mother of your
child, you fuckin' loser.
How could you talk
to me like that?
- Answer the phone.
Shit.
- I'm done talkin'
to you, Henry.
Don't call me back anymore.
I'm on my way to work.
- Listen, don't hang up.
Look, I know we don't get along.
And we haven't gotten
along in a long time.
But for the sake
of our son, please.
I'm gonna have dinner with
Kara at 6:00 at Garino's.
- Well, hooray for you.
- Come at 5:15, 5:30.
Please, just be on time.
I will give you the money.
Don't be late, I don't
want you to run into her,
because the last time
that you came up there,
you almost wired her jaw shut.
- Well, I don't give a shit
about that buck-tooth ho.
I just care about my child.
- All right, for me.
Just be on time?
- Okay.
Okay.
Look, I'll be there.
- All right, thank you.
Damn.
- Please, breathe in.
Inhale deeply.
Let your head touch the sky.
Hold it.
And exhale.
Into your meditation
stance and hold.
- Girl, I don't know why
you're always doin' for dude.
He got you pregnant
and left you,
and now he gives you money
whenever he feels like it.
- Geez, you make it seem like
it's some kind of
science experiment.
Impregnation sequence begin.
- You was.
Seriously.
Listen, you need
to get a backbone.
Ty, you need to toughen up.
My motto is if he ain't
puttin' food in my mouth,
he goin' to the courthouse.
- No, he's trying.
Besides, I don't
wanna alienate him.
He's a good dad.
And Little Henry, he worships
the ground he walks on.
- Well, sounds like
he's not the only one
worshiping the ground.
- Excuse me?
- Does my friend have a case
of the starry eyes herself?
- Girl, no!
- Shh!
- Girl, I do not want him.
Mm-mm.
I moved on to better
and way bigger things.
- Yeah, well, it sounds
like you gonna have
a second better and bigger
science experiment coming soon.
- Uh-uh.
Don't wish that on me.
I am Strapped-Up Sally.
- Ah, well, you actin'
like Knocked-Up Nancy.
(laughs)
- You just hatin' 'cause
you not gettin' none.
- Uh-uh.
Celibacy is my
choice, honey, okay?
I chose that.
These men are drivin' me crazy,
so I put them on an
official timeout.
- Timeout?
Girl, timeout?
Your timeout has
been like six months.
You're on official coochie
hibernation vagina vacation.
- Hibernation?
Girl, this is a
Duracell stimulation.
- Shh!
- And speaking of
Mr. Bigger Things,
where's he at, on the road?
- Yeah, I told you he's
a pharmaceutical rep,
so he's always on the road.
- Oh God, pharmaceutical rep.
Okay, so he's a
pharmaceutical rep,
out on the road
makin' tons of money,
but me and him
both drive a Honda.
I work at 7-Eleven, and
we drive the same car.
- Stop, stop, leave him alone!
You are just hatin'.
It's fine.
Look, I gotta get
ready and go to work.
- Okay, I'll see you tonight.
You and Little
Henry better be over
for the Real Housewives
marathon, then the reunion show.
- Oh, I gotta take a raincheck,
because I gotta go
to the restaurant
to get the money from Henry.
(sighs)
- You goin' to see Henry?
Tyra.
Tyra.
- What?
- I forbid you to see him.
I don't wanna be with you for
four hours while you cryin'.
You look like Shabba
Ranks when you cry.
Have you ever seen yourself?
(laughs)
I'm not jokin'.
You are emotionally scarring.
Don't go.
I forbid you.
- Don't worry.
I'm-a be outta the restaurant
before she even gets there.
- Okay.
But girl, you need
me to come with you?
I got Vaseline, razor blades,
whatever I need, and
a rolled-up newspaper.
You know how I get down.
- Girl, no, no, no.
I am not worried.
I told you, I'm-a leave, get
the money from big Henry,
and I'm gone.
- Mm, mm, mm.
Okay.
Well, you know the code to
text me if you need backup.
'Cause you know I'm
about that action.
- I know you are.
I know.
Bye, Lindsay, I love you.
- You leavin'?
- I'm leavin' yoga.
- That's cool, because
when I'm in Miami,
turnin' necks, snappin' heads,
then you gonna be
lookin' like that.
- All right, lemme
finish this class.
- Yes.
- No, I gotta go.
I'll see you.
- Oh, that's what you think?
That's what you think?
Lookin' very flabby.
I'm supposed to be Serena
and you Nicki Minaj, girl.
Real booties matter.
Oh, I'm-a leave too.
(phone ringing)
- You can answer
that if you need to.
- Oh no, that's okay, Mr. Owens.
It's just Henry.
He's called me
six times already.
Geez.
- Well, I understand.
- What do you mean
you understand?
- A fine woman like you,
working late with
a rich man like me.
I'd be worried too.
- Oh really?
- Brother's just
feeling the heat.
- Oh, he's not the jealous type.
- Why not?
Or has he got somethin' else
goin' on to distract him?
- Um, the Jones case.
We were discussing
the Jones case, right?
- Yeah, the Jones case.
We'll need sworn testimony
over to the judge by morning
along with that brief.
- [Man] Yeah, yeah, then
I'll follow up with her.
- Mm.
- Hi.
- Good evening, welcome.
- Good evening.
Can I have a table
for two, please?
Preferably in the back.
- Oh, hot date.
- Excuse me?
- I mean, I just assumed,
since you wanted
to sit in the back,
that, you know, maybe you had
a little hanky-panky
for dessert.
(laughs)
- That's a little
bit inappropriate.
Could you just see
me to my table?
- Look, relax.
I don't mind watching.
You know, back at my
apartment I got binoculars.
I like to watch all the time.
And you never know,
I just might jump off the
sidelines and join the game.
- Are you crazy?
(laughs)
- Put me in, coach.
- Yeah, you crazy.
- You ain't seen crazy yet.
- Dr. Garcia'll be
with you in a second.
- Great.
Lookin' forward to doin'
business with her again.
- Yeah, right.
(phone ringing)
- Yeah, gettin' out but
can you hold on a second?
- Okay.
Well, I was just tryin' to
see what time we're going.
- I'm gonna have
to call you back.
I'll call you back.
Yeah, yeah, I'll
talk to you later.
Definitely,
definitely, definitely.
- May I help you?
- Yeah, I'm here to
see Henry Fairway.
- Oh, you mean that sexy
chocolate drop at table 24.
- Excuse me?
- Girl, let me know if
you need help with that.
I got you.
- Excuse me?
- You know they say bad
things come in threes?
Very, very bad things.
- Okay, this is gettin' awkward.
Just please take
me to his table.
- All right, this way.
- Your water.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
- [Tyra] Goodness,
I didn't come here
to be sexually assaulted.
- I was a victim too.
- What kind of
seedy place is this?
You know what?
I'm not surprised, considerin'
you picked this spot.
- You go with the jabs, honey.
- Come on, let's just
get this over with,
'cause I don't even
wanna start with you.
- Okay, let's get it over with,
'cause Kara will be here soon.
- Well, please, okay,
well, let's hurry up then.
- What is your problem?
Look, Kara's gonna
be in my life,
so you need to just learn
to get along with her.
- I don't need to learn
to get along with her.
I don't need to learn nothing.
She needs to learn how
to control her mouth
and keep her damn
hands off her iPhone.
Or do I need to
remind her, Henry--
- Why are so--
- Because I'm--
- Why the hell do you
have to be so ghetto?
- Please, I am not ghetto.
I'm from Burbank.
I learned all this foolishness
from you and WorldStar.
- You said $100, right?
- That's right.
- And what's up with you
and all these
over-the-top field trips?
- Over the top?
- [Henry] Yes.
- You know what's over the top
is you goin' to strip clubs
and sports-betting places.
You know what?
What's wrong with being
over the top for your son?
- Oh God, here it comes.
- You know what?
I shoulda kept my
legs closed for you.
Shoulda used them same damn
legs to run away from you.
- What is your problem?
Huh?
What's wrong with you?
Everything's an insult.
You can't just sit
down, have a nice meal,
have a great
conversation, can you?
No, you can't.
- You know what?
Just gimme the money so I
can get the fuck outta here.
- Yes, please get
the fuck outta here.
(phone ringing)
- Henry.
- You on your way?
- No, no, I'm sorry.
This project is taking forever.
- Listen, I don't understand.
Why you not over here?
Why are you still there?
- Henry, I told you
about asking questions
when it comes to my work.
- I'm sorry, baby.
All right.
- Oh, right there.
- What?
Kara, what are you doin'?
- Um, no, nothing.
Sir, the files can
go right there.
Listen, you go ahead
and eat without me.
I can't talk right now.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
I'll be home in the morning.
- What do you mean,
in the morning?
Kara.
Kara!
(sighs)
- He's so clingy sometimes.
I can't take it.
- That's why you need a
grown-ass man in your life.
I wouldn't ask you no questions.
- Is that so?
- Yeah, I don't
play no games, baby.
- Interesting.
(sighs)
- Well, you might as well stay.
Have a drink.
She's not coming.
- Mm-mm.
I'm not a consolation prize.
Just gimme my money so I
can get back on the bus.
- I cannot believe
she's not comin'.
- Well, what did she say?
- Can I get you
anything, sir, ma'am?
- Yeah, uh, Jack
and Coke for me,
and get her a vodka cranberry.
- [Tyra] I'll have
the chardonnay.
- [Waitress] Okay, right away.
- She says she has work to do.
- Mm, I hope it's
very productive.
- And what are you
supposed to mean by that?
(laughs)
- I don't know.
It feels like it's a little
sweet revenge for me, you know?
Seeing you go through
the same thing
that you put me through.
- Look, I don't know what
you talkin' about, all right?
And ain't nobody gonna
cheat on Big Hen.
(laughs)
'Cause I know what I
bring to the table.
(laughs)
- Big Hen?
- Yes.
- Oh, okay.
I'll give you B plus at best.
- B plus?
- B plus.
- Ooh, Henry, spike that ass.
Oh my God, Henry, you knockin'
my hip up outta place.
Baby you 'bout to, ouch, ooh.
- Really?
Shh.
- Henry.
- Wow, come on.
Okay, okay, okay.
You have some A plus moments.
But you not Mr. Consistency.
- Mm.
Now, Michael Jordan had
a couple days off too,
but he was still Michael Jordan.
- Henry, Michael Jordan?
No.
I say you're like
Scottie Pippen at best.
But you not a Michael Jordan.
- Whatever.
(laughing)
Thank you.
- [Waitress] No problem.
Enjoy.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- So, um, what's your next move?
What you got goin'
on in your life?
- Well, I'm starting
a new business.
Some marketing internet play.
(laughs)
- I hope this is not
another one of your
get-rich-quick schemes,
because the only
person gettin' rich
is the person sellin'
to idiots like you.
- Mm-hm.
- Life is about hard work.
Ain't no shortcuts.
- Now, I don't take advice,
especially business advice,
from people who ride the bus.
- Oh, come on,
that is by choice.
I'm on the bus because I'm
tryin' to stack my money, okay?
Unlike you, I have
a financial plan.
- Right, right.
- Right.
- Your financial plan
is saving your money
and spending mine.
- Mm, well, I like that plan.
- I don't.
(laughing)
Oh man, can I ask you something?
- What?
- No, it's fine.
- No, what?
- If all that stuff didn't
happen with Chernise,
do you think we would
have been broken up?
- Here we go.
Chernise.
You mean my coworker who
you slept in our bed with?
- She was giving me a massage.
- See, Henry, come on, now.
You know what?
I'm about to go.
- Look, come on, okay, wait.
- Waiter!
- Listen, wait, wait, listen.
I shouldn't have
brought that up.
You forgave me for that.
I mean, we went to the
pastor and everything,
and he prayed, and all of that.
- Yeah, well, forgiveness
is an operational word.
I didn't forget.
- Listen, I know you
think I'm selfish.
- Selfish?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- Well, I'm an only
child, what do you expect?
- Yeah, your mama still treat
you like you're an only child.
- Now, why you gotta
bring my mama into this?
- Well, I mean, you
brought up Chernise,
so I thought everything
was fair game.
- All right, speaking of
games, let's play one.
Ask me anything.
Anything, and I promise
I'll tell you the truth.
- Anything?
- [Henry] Mm-hm, mm.
Anything.
- Okay.
Is she better than me?
- Come on, why would
you ask me that?
Why would you ask me that?
- Is she?
Is she better than me?
- All right, no.
But her mic game, when
she rockin' that mic, man.
I can't lie.
When she rockin' that mic, she--
- Really?
- Okay, but when it
comes to, you know,
gettin' married and all of
that stuff and settling down,
I give that to you.
- Then what does she do
different than I did?
- Well, she just, well, she
had a couple different angles.
She would just, she knew how
to move her head a certain way,
and it's just like, it works.
- Oh, okay.
Well, you know what?
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Okay, that's enough.
You know what, I didn't
want to hear all of this.
- Okay, well, you
shouldn't have asked
if you didn't wanna know.
Now, you asked, and
I tried to tell you.
- Yeah, well, you have
a lot to learn too
about yourself, young man.
About pressure points.
- Oh, you don't even
need to go there.
- Yes, I do.
- 'Cause we already
done established
I am the man.
- You're the man?
Okay, well, I need to hear
that from somebody else
besides yourself, then
it might be true, Henry.
- Ask her.
Wanna ask?
- Oh really?
The man.
The man, huh?
Hold on, I think I gotta
answer this phone call.
I'll be right back.
- Be my guest.
- The man.
- The man.
(phone ringing)
- What?
- You on your way?
You got the money?
- Yeah, I'm-a leave in a second.
I think he wants
to talk with me.
Girl, obviously
he's been stood up.
- Oh gosh, I woulda stood his
lame, deadbeat ass up too.
- All right, now, stop it.
You know that's my baby daddy.
- Girl, there you go,
protectin' him again.
- So Lindsay, I'm gonna
need a quick favor.
- Story of my life,
Ty, what's up?
- I had a drink, and I
don't drink that much.
Is it all right if you
pick up little man for me?
- Uh, okay, um, hold on.
Okay, I can rearrange some
things and make that happen.
- Thank you.
I owe you my life.
- We've established that
you owe me your life.
Come up with somethin' better.
- I appreciate you, I do.
- Oh, you appreciate me, right?
Okay, well, if you in Cartier,
come out with the red box.
(laughs)
Okay, girl, take your time,
do what you have to do.
Just get your money,
get out of there,
and call me as soon
as you're on your way.
I got little man.
- All right, bye, love you.
- Oh, you know I love the kids.
- Oh.
Okay.
- All right?
So.
You got the $100 for
Little Henry's lavish trip.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
You take care of yourself.
Tyra.
Tyra.
Hey, come on.
Come on, look, do you
really need to go?
Come on.
Can't you just eat a little bit?
- I really do need to go.
- Why don't you just have a
few bites and then you can go?
I know you can eat real fast.
- Shut up.
- Look, I ordered your favorite.
- You ordered for me?
You know how much I
hate when you do that.
- No.
You love when I do that.
That's a woman's code
for that turns me on.
- All right.
- [Henry] So?
- All right, I'll...
Well, it isn't safe out here.
And I am hungry.
Come on.
- Come on.
- All right.
No, I do remember the
time when you were, like,
on that boat and you fell off,
and then you were screaming
like a little girl,
like help me, save me.
- I was not screamin'
like a little girl.
- Yes, you was.
- That was a manly scream.
- Mm-hm.
- Besides that,
black people and water
don't mix really well.
- You can't say that, because
I'm black and I can swim.
- Well, you didn't
jump in to help me.
- No, because at the time I
had that life insurance policy,
and I was thinkin' about
that mansion in Miami.
- You know you can't
leave without me,
and especially
not down in Miami.
- Yeah, well, I don't
know about that.
Why don't you try me?
Let's go rent a boat or a
canoe and see what happens.
- You would jump in to save me.
- I don't know.
I mean, you know what,
that park ranger did
a good enough job.
He was...
- You would jump in to save me.
- Okay.
I would save you.
- Can I ask you somethin'?
- [Tyra] What?
- Personal question.
- No.
- Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever think about us?
- No, because I have Lamont now.
- Fuckin' Lamont.
Lamont?
You know you don't
even love Lamont.
That bastard.
Look at him.
Look at Lamont, and
look at me, huh?
There is no comparison.
Now, back to what I asked you.
Do you ever think about us?
- I can't answer that.
- Figures.
You know.
- Oh my gosh.
- Why do you keep lookin'
at the girl over there?
- What is that girl lookin' at?
Why does she keep
starin' over here?
Somethin's going
on or somethin'.
I'm gonna come over
there and tell her
about herself in a second.
- Well, why are you...
Please.
Why are you so ghetto?
You can take the girl
outta the ghetto,
but you cannot take the
ghetto outta the girl.
- Don't say it.
You know I hate when
you call me ghetto.
Besides, you the one who
grew up in the projects.
I wouldn't even step foot
over in your neighborhood
after 5:30 p.m.
- Ain't nothin' wrong with
being raised in the projects.
Jay-Z came from the projects.
- Well, my dad was a
high school principal.
Oh, and you aren't no Jay-Z.
- And you damn
sure ain't Beyonce.
- That's why I can't stand you.
You just have a smart mouth.
- Yeah, well, I mean, you
tryin' to make everybody think
that I'm from the ghetto.
You know I'm
sensitive about that.
- Why are you sensitive?
Why don't you embrace
being from the hood?
- I do embrace
being from the hood.
Nothing wrong with
being from the hood.
It's how I got my street smarts.
And I wouldn't get played
by nobody like Lamont
'cause I got street smarts.
- Oh, what is that
supposed to mean?
- What do you mean, what
is it supposed to mean?
I'm on the road, I'm a salesman.
I'm gone all the time.
Hell, you know what he doin'.
- You know, why don't you focus
on your own relationship
and get outta mine?
- I do focus on my relationship.
She makes good money, and
she has a job, unlike you.
- Oh yeah?
- Yes.
- Well, where is this
good woman of yours?
- [Henry] Takin'
care of business.
(laughs)
- Oh, and you believe
that yourself?
- Yeah, I believe it.
Why wouldn't I?
- Oh.
Mm.
- I'm done here.
You know what?
I'm gonna go pay this bill,
and when I get
back, you be gone.
How about that?
- Yeah, go ahead, pay this bill.
It's the least you can do.
- The least I can do.
- I'm-a be right here
drinkin' my drink.
- [Henry] Right.
- Excuse me, ma'am.
I'm sorry, I don't
mean to be nosy.
- Then why are you being nosy?
What do you want?
I saw you over there, sticking
your nose all in my business.
What, you wanna knuckle up?
- Listen, again, I'm
very, very sorry.
I just couldn't help to overhear
about you and your boyfriend?
- No.
Ex-husband.
- Well, I couldn't help to hear
you and your ex-husband arguing.
Seems like you guys have a lot
of pent-up anger
against each other.
- Excuse me, but how is
that any of your business?
- Well, to be honest,
I can't help it.
My ear is kinda tuned
to these type of things.
I'm a professional counselor.
I specialize in
broken relationships.
- Yeah, well, this relationship,
it can't use any of your help.
- You'd be surprised.
I've helped a lot of couples
come back from the brink.
- We are well beyond the brink.
- Mm, I don't think so.
I mean, just like
anything else in life,
it all depends on how much work
you're willing to put in, but--
- Listen, I know you're the
expert and all, but I disagree.
- Well, look, here's my card.
If you can convince him
to come, you never know.
You guys might be able
to work things out,
get back together.
- Yeah.
I know you're an
optimist and all,
but I don't have any money.
- If you can convince him
to come, it'll be on me.
- Okay, whatever.
- You have a great day, ma'am.
- You too.
Hm.
- My God, you get on my nerves.
I should never have let
you sit down with me.
- Oh, you let me sit down?
- You know what?
I'm gonna call you Uber, so
you can take your ass home.
(laughs)
- You only let me sit down
because you were lonely.
- I was not lonely.
I let you sit down because I...
Whatever.
I shouldn't have
let you sit down.
Now my damn phone, I got a
surge because of that damn Uber.
- Cheap.
Cheap phone.
- What do you mean, I'm cheap?
I shoulda put your
ass back on the bus.
- Look at you.
I'm supposed to be the
mother of your child,
and that's how you talk to me?
- Yeah, you're the
mother of my child,
but sometimes you
just get on my nerves.
It's always like this.
You know what?
I'll stand out here,
wait on the bus,
whatever I gotta
do, 10 more minutes,
but I gotta get up for
work in the morning.
- Aw, you don't have
to get up for no work.
What does your work consist of,
thumbing through, like, ads?
- You know what, whatever.
- Oh, whatever.
- Yes, whatever.
Why you always gotta
bother me, anyway?
I would leave your ass out here,
but I know a homeless
guy's gonna drag you
in the back of the alley,
so I'll wait with you.
I'm a big girl, I could
take care of myself.
- Your daddy is a principal.
And I'm from the
ghetto, remember?
So I'll say out here,
and I'll wait with you.
As I always do.
- Oh, and that's the least
you can do, you know?
- [Henry] Look, my
hotel is right up there.
I'll go and get my car,
and we can just drive
you home like that.
How about that?
- Wait a minute.
Let me answer it.
(phone buzzes)
- Well, whoever it is, maybe
they can come pick your ass up.
What's wrong with you?
Who the hell is that?
- Hold up, my phone.
- What?
- My phone.
- Oh, you and that
damn cell phone.
Don't answer it.
- Hey, baby, I'm on call.
It could be a client.
Sorry, just gimme a second.
- You pharmaceutical
guys are so strange.
- [Henry] Listen, let's
just go down here,
and I can just go get my car--
- Hold on.
- Who was on the phone?
You never said nothin'.
How the hell are you--
- I'm-a need a stiff one.
- Tyra, come on, look.
I don't have all night.
I gotta get up for
work in the morning.
- He loves me.
- Please, just stop.
Can you stop?
- He loves me not.
- Will you quit, please?
You know what, this is
what I'm talkin' about.
I'm not looking at her,
and she crosses her legs.
Just stop it.
- What?
- Stay here with me.
Got a view for it.
- Oh, stop it.
- Get your hands off.
Come on, come on.
- All right, I'm bein' serious.
Therapist.
Give us therapy.
- [Therapist] I
think that you guys
need to let each other
talk one at a time.
- I think this starts
getting shorter and shorter.
(laughing)
- [Therapist] And.
- All right, go ahead.
Every time I say
something to you,
- Babe.
you're writing
something in that book.
She's writing in the book.
- [Therapist] So, how do you
feel that he has someone else?
- How do I feel that
he has someone else?
Don't do that to me.
See, I hate that.
- What do you mean,
you hate that?
Just, can you figure
something out?
Just talk to her.
Talk to her.
- [Therapist] You guys
obviously love each other.
- Please get off of me.
- [Therapist] Or else you
guys wouldn't be here.
- I'm here because
of my son, all right?
It's the only reason I'm here,
because I wanna get
along with his mother.
That's all she is to
me, my son's mother.
Shit.
- Shut up.
- Look, you know what?
That's what I'm talkin' about.
- Okay, so.
As I was saying.
- [Henry] What do you
want us to tell you?
- How does PDA make you feel?
- PDA?
PDA, you know what that
acronym stands for?
- Yes.
- From the projects.
- No, see, you see how nice,
I'm tryin' to be nice to her.
But every time I be nice to her,
then she always has to say
something that I don't like.
- Well, you know I
have a sarcastic mouth.
- You just, you
have more than that.
Your mouth is not the problem.
- [Therapist] Okay, Tyra.
What is the reason
for your sarcasm?
- I feel like whatever
you're writing in that book,
I want to make sure that it
doesn't go anywhere else.
- [Therapist] Oh, no.
This is strictly confidential.
- She's lying.
I seen something she wrote
about something else.
She's been writing
about people forever.
- The reason for my sarcasm--
- Sarcasm.
- I know.
Okay, I'm pickin'
up your tendencies.
You the one that's ghetto.
- Yeah, yeah.
You are ghetto.
- No, I'm not, I'm from Burbank.
You from the projects.
- Why the hell do you keep
saying that like you--
- And you always make
these references.
- Burbank got ghetto parts.
Obviously.
- I'm done.
- Let's just get outta here.
- This has got to be
the worst case ever.
It's so complicated.
I feel like every time
I know what I'm doing,
three more things pop up.
- Well, that's what
we get paid to do,
deal with the headaches.
- My whole life is a
headache right now.
- How so?
Life should be great.
You're young, beautiful, smart.
You should,
you should have no worries.
- If only that was the case.
All I do is worry.
- You're gonna have
to let that go.
You're gonna start
seeing gray hairs pop up.
Look at me, 20 years of
worry, 20 years of gray.
- Well, it makes you
look very distinguished.
- Then I must look
very distinguished.
- Well, it just so
happens I like older men.
- Oh.
Well, what do you say we get
outta here and have a drink?
- Why don't we go have a
drink and go over the case?
- The Jones case.
- The Jones case.
- The Jones.
- The Jones case.
(laughs)
(Tyra laughs)
- So crazy.
I'm so glad you told
them off the way you did.
I been meanin' to say somethin',
but I didn't want to make
you feel uncomfortable.
- Please.
You know, you always
had an issue with that.
I ain't never had no problems
tellin' people how I feel.
- No, you haven't, not at all.
- You like it.
You always liked me
bein' your protector.
- Okay, I'll give you
that, I'll give you that.
You always defended me.
Sometimes you were a
little too aggressive,
but for the most part
you made me feel safe.
- What are you talkin'
about, aggressive?
My right hook is a monster,
like Lennox Lewis, baby.
- Okay, I don't know
who Lennox Lewis is,
but you probably aren't
as half as tough as he is.
- See, there you go again,
tryin' to tear me down.
You better be glad
I'm a mama's boy.
I lack confidence.
- Henry, that's
part of the problem.
You're a mama's boy.
Maybe if you wasn't
a mama's boy,
our relationship coulda
lasted a little bit longer.
- What are you talkin' about?
I'm an only child.
I'm supposed to be a mama's boy.
- Oh.
Can I give you some advice?
- Yeah.
- It's time for you to take
your mouth off your
mama's nipple slowly.
- Okay, wait a minute.
What about you?
Shoppin' at Amazon,
wearin' it one time,
and then sendin' it back.
- What?
- Yeah, that's ghetto as hell.
- Baby, you know it relaxes me.
- And then what?
What's gonna happen when Amazon
sends the FBI to your house
and have your ass
somewhere else, then what?
- FBI?
Come on.
All I do is buy stuff and then
I send it back in the mail.
I adhere to the return policy.
- No, what you adhere to
is being ghetto as hell.
(laughs)
- You know, sometimes I
think about all the nights
I spent alone,
building this practice,
all the hours of
solitude, of worry,
and sometimes I
I wonder if
everything I missed
out on was worth it.
I mean, it was my dream,
and I'm here now, but...
You know, I think to
myself, is this it?
Does that make sense?
- I think you did exactly
what you had to do
to achieve your
goals, and, I mean,
isn't that what
life is all about?
Achieving, right?
- That's what I thought.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
- I think you're
getting a little tipsy.
I mean, who wouldn't
want to be rich
and well respected
in their field?
I mean, what more can
you ask for in a man?
I love ambition.
- Oh, do you, now?
- I just like a go-getter.
I mean,
I try to get Henry to get off
his behind and do something,
but it seems like
every time he gets up,
he falls right back on his face.
And I want to support him,
but I just don't have the
patience for it, you know?
- Everybody doesn't
have it in them.
It's a long, tough
road to success.
- Yeah, well, I don't
want to wait around
while he's trying
to figure it out.
- Do you love him?
(laughing)
- You know what?
Let's do a toast.
To finally gettin' along.
- You're right.
- And to even maybe
being friends.
- I like how that sounds.
- For Little Henry's sake.
- I'll toast to that.
- For Little Henry.
- Again, let's toast.
- For Little Henry.
Jesus, what am I
gettin' myself into?
(laughing)
- Hey, this my drink.
- So damn ghetto.
- You love it.
Mm.
- [Henry] Oh my God.
(laughing)
- Go get me another drink.
- Be right back.
- All right.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
- Hey.
- Lindsay.
How's everything goin'
with Little Henry?
- Da da doo!
Woo!
- Is that him in the
background that I hear?
He should be in the bed.
- You shoulda told me
that a long time ago.
Or 10 Twinkies ago.
- 10 Twinkies?
Girl, I'm gonna kill you.
- I want him to love me.
- You want me to hate
you, that's what you want.
Girl, put him to bed.
(laughs)
- Okay, well, we're gonna
have to practice Zumba,
and then we're gonna go to bed.
- Girl, I'm gonna kill you.
Seriously?
- Sound like your
meeting is productive.
Might let him dust them
cobwebs off that thing for you.
- Shut up, Lindsay.
Girl, nothin's gonna happen.
- Well, hopefully
somethin' happens,
and you can loosen
up a little bit,
always on my case.
- Look, let me call you
back in about a hour.
And put Henry back to bed.
- That's good, I
gotta go anyway.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Ready? Go.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Come on, let's do the video.
- Do you love him?
- I thought I did for a minute.
But now I'm not so sure.
- Well, after three divorces,
take it from me, there is
nothing unsure about love.
If you're not sure,
you're not in love.
- You're probably right.
- What is it that irks
you about him the most?
I mean, what is it, is it one
thing, is it a lot of things?
- I don't know,
I guess it's just
he can't get his act together.
I mean, he starts
these businesses,
and he doesn't follow through,
and I mean, I guess
he tries hard,
but trying just isn't
good enough for me.
I want him to win.
- Failure is part of success.
I started some businesses
before this one.
Didn't work out,
but I stuck to it,
'cause, hell, you never know.
- Yeah, well, I don't know
if I want to stick around
to figure out what's
going on with him.
I mean, I want to live my life,
and I want to live it right now.
- I hear that, baby.
- And plus, he does this
really weird thing with my feet
where he likes to
kiss my toes, and--
- Uh-uh, uh-uh.
- I think he thinks
it's turning me on,
and I really don't like it.
- Tea about that.
Tea about a little toe
jam between the teeth.
- Hey, there's no
toe jam over here.
- I don't know,
I might have to do a
little inspection myself.
- Hey, check 'em out.
- Right up here.
Put 'em up here, lemme see.
- Check 'em out,
check 'em out.
- Let me see.
Put it right there.
Mm-hm.
You know, you a funny girl.
Amazing sense of
humor, you know,
for a girl with a face like...
And that body.
- Are you flirting
with me, Mr. Owens?
- Well, you can take
it however you want.
You said you liked a go-get-her.
- Ready?
Five, six, seven, eight.
- You know you love me.
I love everybody.
I love everybody!
- Shh!
- Woo!
- Okay, okay.
- Uh, what?
- You can love everybody.
* I love everybody, baby.
- Come on.
- Woman, you acting
like old school.
- Oh, no, that's
for your girlfriend.
- Why you always
gotta bring up Kara?
You always do that,
though, right?
- Come on.
(car door closing)
(clears throat)
- Oh, shit.
Oh my God, the phone
was on the whole time.
Oh, shit.
Shit!
- So about that promotion.
- Oh, anything you want, baby.
Anything you want.
* I need your help, babe.
- Isaac and Lowell.
Will you help me sing this?
- Come on, we gotta sit down.
I need a break from carrying
your big ass all night.
- All right.
- [Tyra] Sit down.
Take a break.
- I can't sit down here.
Oh.
Oh, shit.
Oh.
- Out late at night, messin'
around with your ass.
You know what I'm sayin'?
- [Kara] So about
that promotion.
- [Owens] Anything you want.
- Company car?
- You pick the color.
- Corner office?
- Right across from mine.
- Expense account?
- Well, now,
you gonna have to work a
little harder for that.
Ooh, yippee yi yi ay.
Ha ha!
- [Henry] Don't act like
you don't know what
I'm talkin' about.
- Man, you got me out
here all late at night
like I'm 18 years old.
- 18?
- [Tyra] Yes, late at night.
- I remember when you
was 18 year old, baby.
Let me tell you somethin',
you looked so sexy
as one of the best cheerleaders,
cheerin' over there.
Ooh, you was so sexy.
I saw you do that
split, look right at me.
You was like...
(laughs)
- Yeah, I know you
was lookin' at me,
actin' all super-thirsty.
- What do you think we
went wrong at, then?
- Well, you was lookin' at
all those gold-lookin'
women when you had
this diamond-lookin'
woman in your pocket.
- Baby, that's the
story of my life.
- Yeah, well, it's no
need in rehashin' over,
you know, the past.
What's done is what's done.
- Right.
'Cause you, you can't, like,
press the rewind button
when it comes to life.
- No, but you gotta
take life serious.
You know, what you have, you
can't take it for granted,
what you have, because
when it's gone,
it might just be gone forever.
- Baby, listen, I
understand that.
But at the end of the
day, I made wrong turns.
You don't think I know
that you're a good woman?
And sometimes I regret it.
- Yeah.
- But I don't doubt one thing.
- What?
I'm a good woman?
- You're a good woman.
- Thank you.
- You ain't stupid.
- Thank you.
I like how you talkin'.
- But I'm cute.
- You're cute, yeah.
I like how you talkin'.
You know what?
- What?
- [Tyra] You need to
drink Crown more often,
'cause I like this conversation.
- Yeah, I drink Clo--Cro--Crown.
Crown make you clown.
- You still so corny.
- But you like that, don't you?
Come here.
- Mm-mm, mm-mm.
Let me call your girlfriend.
- Aw, no, no, no,
no, don't call her.
- What's her number?
- I'm-a give you my phone.
Here's the hotel key.
I'm in room
* 112
* Ooh
* Whoa, woo
- I don't know if I'm comin'.
I don't know if I'm
comin' to your hotel room.
I gotta go.
- Come to room 112, baby.
- Uh-uh.
- That's where all the
magic happens, baby.
- Look, I'm not
comin' to your room.
I need to check on my son.
- Put your hands
lower down here.
- Stop.
- Make me feel good
in my special parts.
- Henry.
- What do you mean,
you gonna check on your son?
It's my son too.
- Henry.
- Henry's fine.
- [Tyra] Ugh.
* I know you love
* I know you love me, baby
(snores)
(Henry laughs)
- Ugh, stop.
- You gonna come
back to my hotel room
and let me bang them
back out for you again?
- No.
You better save that
for your girlfriend.
(coughs)
- What?
Oh, that's nasty.
- Oh, it ain't nasty.
C'mere, let me suck your toes.
- Stop!
- C'mere.
- Don't touch me.
- Let me breathe on you.
* Baby
- Gettin' on the table?
Yeah, um...
- Is there a problem?
Do we have an
issue here, Lamont?
- Yeah, I'm in the,
literally in the
middle of somethin'.
- Okay.
I'll call you later.
(snores)
- [Henry] I don't want
this to change anything.
- [Charise] It won't.
God, you're so tense.
- Maybe because
I'm just not ready.
- Me neither.
- [Henry] Okay, now, listen--
- Don't.
- I know what it looks like.
Look, look, Tyra, I just--
- [Tyra] Stop.
- No, no, no, listen.
I just told her that it--
- Stop.
Henry, don't say
anything to me right now.
- Wait--
- How could you stoop this low?
What the fuck?
- No, no, no, it's
not what you think.
Listen--
- No, it is what I think.
- Listen.
I just, I just,
I just told her--
- Henry.
I been standin'
here the whole time,
watchin' you with this skank.
- Then you should know
that I was gonna stop this.
- You know what?
You're full of
fuckin' lies, Henry.
I just can't be
with you anymore.
Look what you doin'.
In our bed?
Our bed?
Why?
- [Henry] I have no excuse.
- You know what, I hate
you so much right now.
I hate you so much.
- Now, come on, Tyra, look.
I just, I just stopped it.
- I wanna beat her ass so bad.
- [Henry] I know you do,
but Tyra, listen to me.
It's not what you think.
I stopped it.
You know we haven't been--
- You know what, I
hate you so much.
You hurt me over and
over and over again.
- [Henry] Because we, we--
- Infidelity?
Really?
That's what you wanna do?
I mean fuck you, Henry!
- [Henry] Tyra, we've
hurt each other.
- No.
- [Henry] And you know that.
- You don't love me.
You don't love me.
I hate you!
- Listen, Tyra!
Tyra, listen.
Fuck, fuck.
Tyra!
Fuck!
Goddammit!
Shit!
- You know what?
One thing that I
always hated about you?
You used to always leave
your dirty sock on
the bathroom floor.
- [Henry] What?
- It was a small thing,
but you used to always
do it consistently,
and I wanted to inflict
so much pain on you.
And then I realized
it wasn't the socks.
- Then what was it?
- It was the fact that
you took me for granted.
I used to always try
to keep a clean home
and keep you together,
but then I realized
you was just takin'
me for granted.
- What, baby, because
of the laundry?
- No.
No!
- Tyra, Tyra!
Come on!
What are you doin'?
All right, look, look--
- [Tyra] You're all of
you fuckin' neanderthals.
- What's wrong with me?
C'mere.
Oh.
- What's wrong with me?
- Nothin', baby,
nothin', nothin'.
- Why don't you love me?
- I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I just don't care how she feels.
You know why?
Because when somebody bangs
it into you for two years,
that they don't care,
they do everything they
can to get under your skin,
everything they can to show you
that you're not appreciated,
then what am I
supposed to do, huh?
Tears don't mean shit to me.
Cry.
- [Therapist] And what's
making you cry, hon'?
What exactly is hitting it?
- He just doesn't listen.
- [Therapist] There's
obviously a reason, Henry,
why you came here.
You still obviously
care about her.
- Of course I care about her.
- [Therapist] And this is
why you get upset, correct?
- Of course I care about her.
- [Therapist] Okay.
Tell me three nice
things about her.
- I would bend over backwards
to make her feel special,
and she would always outdo me,
makin' me feel
even more special.
And I hate the fact that I
can't communicate with her.
I hate the fact that we can't,
we can't fight.
I didn't just say you.
Do you see what I'm sayin'?
I said us, that we
can't communicate.
That we can't just get along.
We have to get
along for our son.
That's just not what I wanna do.
And she should be
able to respect that.
I can respect us bein' together.
Listen, I'll tell
you, I can respect,
listen, listen, no,
I can respect us bein'
together as parents.
- You know what, it is
what it is at this point.
- [Therapist] But how
does that make you feel?
- It's nothin' I
can say more or do.
- Do I wanna be in a
relationship with her right now?
Absolutely not.
- [Therapist] You're using
the keyword right now.
Why is that?
- I'm using the
keyword right now
because we're sitting
here with you right now.
I don't, tomorrow's not
promised to any of us.
But what I can say is this.
As of right now, I need my
space emotionally from her.
I don't wanna be
in a relationship.
I want a partnership to
raise our son together.
That's what I'm lookin' for.
- I don't know anymore.
You know, you try to
make things right,
and sometimes it
just goes wrong.
So what's the point of figuring
things out anymore, huh?
- Hey.
- Hm?
- Did we?
- Yeah.
- What?
Please.
No, we didn't.
- Only if you were dreaming.
- You just better
be glad I was drunk.
- Hm, whatever.
- If I was on that Jack, baby,
I'd have been blowin'
that back out.
- Mm.
- This is funny.
- Yeah.
- Here we are, divorced, and
cheatin' with each other.
- Yeah.
- Life is crazy, baby.
- This show has to be over.
I know Lindsay is gonna kill me.
- No, Kara's gonna kill me.
- Oh.
She's gonna go hysterical.
- Oh my God, what am I thinkin'?
- We gotta get goin'.
Okay.
You use the bathroom first.
(snores)
- Did I promise that
ho a corner office?
Oh shit, I know I
ain't promised that
no corner office.
It was good, but not that good.
Oh shit, let me check my wallet.
- So I'm gonna go and head
over and catch the bus.
- Don't catch the bus.
I can take you home.
- Eh, I only have two bus stops.
I'm good.
- You sure?
- No, no, no, it's fine.
I'm good.
Okay?
- Tyra!
- What?
- [Kara] Henry, what
the fuck is this?
I knew you were still
fuckin' with that bitch.
- Excuse me?
- [Henry] No, wait.
Tyra, just wait--
- Uh-uh, uh-uh.
- Calm down.
- No way!
I'll show you exactly
what a bitch can do.
- Listen, just think
positive thoughts.
- You know what?
It's okay.
You can have him.
I was all set last night anyway.
- Kara, where were
you last night?
- I was laid up with a rich man,
givin' me everything
you could never give me,
you broke, worthless
piece of shit.
- Who are you talkin' to?
You skank!
What?
- Just like I thought.
Bunch of ghetto lowlifes.
Y'all are meant for each other.
- You know what?
I can't believe she did this.
This is exactly what I expected.
I knew she was cheatin'.
- You know you deserve
way better than that.
- Yeah, I know that.
I know, but I pushed 'em all
away, Tyra, you know that.
- Why?
- Because they ain't you.
- That's the nicest thing
you said to me in,
like, two years.
Look, if you're
serious about us,
let's try one more time.
You know, for our son.
- I'm willing to try again too.
C'mere.
- Oh, you know what,
I forgot my comb.
It's back at the hotel room.
You still have the key?
- How'd I know you was gonna try
to get back up in
that hotel room,
sniffin' all on the sheets?
You forgot that comb on purpose.
- It's my favorite comb.
- Right.
- I'll be right back.
- All right.
Hey, I'm gonna need you to
pick up Little Henry today
when you get off, all right?
Did you hear what I said?
Hello?
- Yeah, I heard what you said.
- Okay, why didn't
you answer me, then?
- Because I already told you
I have a doctor's
appointment today.
I told you that once before.
- Didn't we talk
about this last week?
I told you I had to work
late every day this week.
Why should I have to tell
you to pick up your son?
The fuck is the problem?
Do somethin' in this
fuckin' relationship.
Do somethin'
productive for once.
Make the fuckin'
bed or somethin'.
You don't do shit right
around here anymore.
You know, I gotta
pick up our son.
I have to make up the bed.
I have to cook dinner.
I mean, what do you do?
- I clean the house, I cook,
and I have to take
care of my son
because sometimes you
nowhere to be found.
But you know what, that's okay.
I'll get Little Henry today,
don't you worry about it.
Get my keys and go to work.
- Good.
Did you cheat on me?
- No, I didn't cheat on you.
But why did you cheat on me, hm?
- You know why I cheat.
Listen, I cheated on you,
and I take full
responsibility for it.
I cheated on you
because I did that.
Simple.
I could sit here and tell you
that we were growing far apart.
You knew that.
You could see every day.
We argued every day, like...
Either way, whoever
cheated, it doesn't matter.
It's a person.
- It does matter.
It always matters.
I don't know what
you talkin' about.
- So explain to me
why it matters, then.
Explain why it matters.
- Cheatin' matters.
Whoever does the cheatin'.
- Yes, but explain
if it's you, you just don't
wanna be the one that's cheat,
is that what you're sayin'?
'Cause explain to me how it's
different if it's you or me.
Doesn't matter.
We're the ones in the marriage.
- You only cheated,
and I didn't cheat.
How would you feel?
- I'm not sayin' that.
That's the question.
- No, answer the question.
- No.
- Answer the question.
- If both of us have cheated,
no matter who cheated first.
- Answer the question.
Answer that question.
- No.
- Answer that question.
- If, if, it doesn't matter--
- See? No!
Stop, I won't.
- Of course.
How do you think?
No, you're not listenin'.
It doesn't matter.
- I'm not listenin'?
Tit for tat.
I might cheat on you.
- Okay, okay, so but
what I'm sayin' is--
- So don't let me catch you.
- If I cheated--
- I'll cheat on you.
- I'm sayin' this,
if I cheated, then--
- Oh my God.
At least he admitted
to somethin'.
Thanks for bein' honest.
- If one person cheated,
- I didn't cheat.
- It doesn't matter.
- I didn't cheat.
I didn't cheat.
- You just don't wanna
be the one that cheated.
- Oh my gosh.
- I don't care.
But it doesn't make a difference
if you cheated or if I cheated.
- Henry.
- Separately.
It doesn't matter.
- Henry.
- What?
- Why you talkin' over me?
- Because it's the same
shit every time with you.
You just, listen, you
see how it is with her.
She, there is no
answer but her answer.
And we're goin' around
and around for no reason.
I'm human, and I
want to be loved,
I want to be touched,
I want to be hugged,
and someone came along and said
some of the things I wish
you were sayin', you know?
But I still take full
responsibility that
I cheated on you.
That's why I'm sittin' here.
I cheated on you,
and it was wrong.
- I'm trying to fight for us.
- Yeah, but which, what
makes it different--
- Then why would I fight
for us, then, if I cheated?
- I'm tryin' to
fight for us too!
- Then I would be backpedaling.
- That's not necessarily true.
- Like, fuck it,
let's try to save
the relationship.
- So.
I take responsibility for that.
And at this point, I just...
I want to know if
you can forgive me.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I could forgive you.
Ugh.
You fell asleep on the couch.
All right.
Hope you said your prayers.
Love you.
- Mommy.
- Yeah.
- If I have a nightmare,
would Daddy come back
home and protect me?
- Why do you keep
lickin' me like that?
(laughing)
- 'Cause you like it.
- Uh-huh.
Get me all frisky, and
then you're mm-hmm.
- You're supposed to
cook for me tonight.
I don't know if I should
be frisky with you.
- Come on, I'll cook
for you all the time.
Little Henry's not here.
- What?
- Well, Little
Henry's not here, so--
- Babe, you heat up food
for me all the time.
You don't make
food from scratch.
But that's okay.
- What the fuck is wrong
with hot dogs and tater tots?
- That is so nasty.
- But baby, I'm cookin', though.
(laughing)
- Mm.
- Oh, baby.
- Mm.
- What?
- Gimme a real kiss.
- Of course.
- I love you.
- I love you too, baby.
A whole lot.
- You know, it's just
us living here now.
But you got your mommmy.
I like the new office space.
- Yeah.
- It's nice.
- You're movin' up.
Guess we're payin' her good.
- Yeah.
You want me to tell him
the three things that
I hate about him?
Oh.
Okay, it's more than three.
No, I'm just jokin',
it's not more than three.
The three things
that I hate about you
is that sometimes you
don't listen to me,
and I keep telling you that,
and I'll tell you I have
a doctor's appointment,
and you'll forget.
Or I'll tell you can you
pick up Henry from school,
Henry Junior...
(clears throat)
See?
- I'm listening to you.
I don't forget.
But I'm listening.
Oh boy.
Three things that I
don't like about you.
Well, I don't like
your stubbornness.
I think that when we have
disagreements or anything
it's just so hard gettin'
past the way you feel.
If you think you're right,
then there's no listening
to anything else
but the way you feel.
- Yeah, I'm stubborn.
At times.
But, I mean, it's somethin'
that I can work on for you.
You know?
- Yeah.
- The second thing
that I hate about him
is that, I mean,
I have to push him
to flirt with me
and be affectionate.
Sometimes you just don't
do it automatically,
and it's like hey, hello,
cuddle or somethin' like that.
- You know what it is?
- What is it?
- It's the difficulties
that we have, we're having,
and it pushes me away.
Like it's hard to want
to cuddle with you
after you've just cursed me out.
I don't like that you
don't like my friends.
- I mean, I don't like
his friends, but...
- None of 'em.
- None of 'em.
I mean, he just makes friends
easily, with everybody.
- No, I'm just talkin'
about the friends
I've had for a long time.
- Oh, those.
The ones that he always
goes on a guys' trips with.
- You know, these are people
that were in my life for years.
It puts me in a weird position,
because I love them, but
I love you, you know,
and I wanna honor that
vow that I made to you,
but I have people that I think
are still really
wonderful people.
And if they disrespected
you or anything like that,
then it would be different,
but just to kinda not like 'em
because I'm not spending
that time with you,
that's just, that
kinda hurts me,
because I just feel like
it's a constant fight.
- Okay, okay, okay, look.
I will be more open
minded about your friends.
- Good.
And I will cut
the trips in half.
I won't go on as many guy trips.
- Thank you.
- And the third thing.
I don't like the fact that you,
you weave your mother's opinion
in our marriage so much.
I didn't marry your
mother, I married you.
And I love your mother.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
I can't say that when I
see you're doing somethin'
like we talked about before
that I'm gonna hug you
and put you in my arms
after you made me
feel a certain way.
I'm not ready for that yet.
- That's the third thing
that I hate about him
is that he always says
can't, won't, don't.
I'm not.
I mean, if he would just
change his language up some,
then we would have--
- But I always say that?
You said I always?
Always.
Like, it's just,
it's never a time
that I say anything
else but that.
- Yes.
A lot, well, a lot of
times, majority of the time,
you know what I'm talkin' about.
Most of the time he knows
what I'm talkin' about.
I mean, he hates the fact that
I'm close with my mom?
Who says that?
- I never said that.
- Who does that?
Who thinks that?
- I love the fact that
you love your mom.
'Cause it shows--
- Thank you.
- Your mom's a wonderful person.
I mean, what else do
you want me to say
when it's somethin'
that we can't do?
- Can't.
- Right, but we
can't do everything.
I can't say yes to everything.
When I say no, I should
be able to say no
without any explanation.
- Babe.
You could say I'm
gonna work on that.
I'll try to do that.
- But what are we
talkin' about here?
You just said you don't like
when I say the words
can't and don't.
I mean, that's kinda
just out there.
- No, every time we get
into a disagreement,
instead of saying I can't
do that, I won't do that,
I shouldn't, you should
just say I'm-a work on that.
Maybe that's possible.
- I just want us to be able to
make decisions for us, by us.
You know?
I want us to be the first team
when it comes to
making our decisions.
And all the other
outside influences,
let 'em be outside
influences and not, you know,
be a part of what we're doin'.
I'll look at things
and try to say
that I can try
somethin' different.
Even if it's outside
of my comfort zone.
I'll try to say that I can
or I will or, you know?
Listen, for you, I'll
say, I'm here to say
whatever I need to say
and do what I need to do.
- Babe.
I can work on that for us.
I can.
- And I have a great
relationship with her.
I love her.
It's my mother-in-law.
- I'll work on that.
- Listen, hearin' you say this,
it just means the world to me.
And I wanna work on this
as hard or even harder.
- Oh.
- Ugh.
All right, c'mere.
Talk to me.
What's goin' on?
- Babe, I think we should
go to couples therapy.
- Oh, come on.
Couples therapy, Tyra?
- Yeah.
- Shit.
Okay.
- Really?
- Yeah, let's do it.
I'm in.
- My grandma was a wise woman.
Everything is not
supposed to make sense.
That was something my
grandma Pam used to say.
She lived to be 92 before
we laid her to rest.
She was smiling and kind.
She told me to
remember one thing.
A man will treat you exactly
the way you allow him to.
And that the road to
self-respect was not an easy one
and that you may not like
what you find along the way.
But the last part, the
most important part,
came from the wisdom of being
married for over 70 years.
She would always
say that sometimes
a real love is
worth fighting for.
Okay, the three
things that I like.
- I'd say her sense of humor.
I love it.
(laughs)
- I like his smile, right?
Oof, see?
- Now I'm blushin'.
You just can't tell
'cause I'm black.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay,
wait, you got some...
See?
I love his smile.
The three things I
like about Henry,
I love his smile.
He just glows.
And it just warms my heart and
makes me feel a certain way.
- Well, I love your eyes.
I've always loved your eyes.
It seems like you can
look right through me.
- And then I like the
fact that he works out.
I mean, he got a body.
He got a body.
Uh...
- I love your sense of humor.
I think your sense of
humor is just like mine.
That's always been great.
- I know I'm a lot to
deal with, but uh...
Just the fact that
he sticks it out.
A lot of men don't stick it out.
And, um, he stuck
it out with me.
Longevity, commitment.
I like that.
- It's not puttin' up with you.
- Yeah, well, you know what?
He gets me and understands
me like nobody else.
- Everybody has their ways.
I mean, we were all made
differently on purpose.
So that's why I love you.
- I love you too.
I do.
Oh, oh!
I want to add a fourth thing
that I like about Henry.
I like how he serenades me.
I mean, he can sing.
Go ahead.
* You are
* The most beautiful girl
* In the world to me
* To me
- See?
- You are.
