Living Single (1993–1998): Season 1, Episode 27 - What's Next? - full transcript
Khadijah has to choose between her new boyfriend and an old love.
Don't even put your
booty print in the chair.
I'm ready to go home.
Well, that's fine with me.
Let's go by your place
and get you some clothes.
Alonzo, I can't stay over
again tonight. I got work to do.
Well, I got some
papers to grade.
You can get some
work done at my place.
Now, you know that's a lie.
You can't blame
a man for trying.
Besides, you know I don't
sleep well without you.
I gotta pile all the pillows
up on one side of bed
and pretend they're snoring.
I do not snore.
That's that train going
through your loft every night.
Oh.
Well, you know, I
had something special
planned for tonight.
This is for you.
Keys?
It's to my apartment.
Khadijah, I want you
to move in with me.

Hey, buddy, you want some
help taking that outside to the curb?
Uh, wrong direction, shorty.
I just rescued this
abandoned gem.
Yeah. They don't make
them like this anymore.
Because it's big, it's ugly,
and it scares small children.
Oh, don't be so siddity.
Look here. Give me a
hand with this chair, dude.
Overton..
You are not, I repeat, not
taking that domestic casualty
upstairs into our apartment.
Don't make me choose
between you and this chair.
Oh, that's nifty.
Oh, yeah, good‐looking
chair. Oh, yeah.
Now, I'm sorry I didn't
get the matching love seat.
So, Max, you still working
on that stuff for Sheila Kelly?
Mm‐hmm. Got a
meeting with her tomorrow.
Oh, man, I love her show,
and the way she closes it.
"Remember, I'm Sheila
and you're not as
strange as you think."
That comforts me
somehow. I don't know.
Hey, girl, what you
doing for Sheila Kelly?
What, you suing one
of them tabloid rags?
Or are you putting
together one of them
spicy little prenuptials?
Nah. They save the
good stuff for the partners.
I'm doing the wedding contracts.
You know, the photographer,
the florist, the swan wrangler.
Stop it. I‐I did not. I did not.
Alright, maybe once.
No, go ahead,
take the other line.
I'll talk to you soon.
You are always on that
phone giggling with Alonzo.
Yes, I am. But that was Scooter.
Ooh, he sure has been
calling here a lot lately.
Lately?
Ever since he and Khadijah
got together that night.
Scooter's nose
has been wide open.
Calls from LA, telegrams
letters that say,
"Khadijah, I need ya."
Well, I bet Scooter
was heartbroken
when you told him
about Alonzo, huh?
Hmm.
You didn't tell him?
Well, Scooter and
I are just friends.
I've known him all my life.
Besides, he didn't ask me.
There you go. Keep
your options open.
Actually, I'm thinking about
doing just the opposite.
Alonzo asked me
to move in with him.
‐ Ooh.. ‐ Wha‐a‐at?
I mean, I didn't say yes,
but I'm thinking about it.
As well you should.
Sure, there's no beautiful
white dress and no big cake
and God doesn't
recognize it, but still.
Amazing. The woman
is 45 minutes late.
Counselor, Sheila
Kelly is our biggest client
and if we can wait
here at $300 an hour
then you can
certainly wait at a 125.
Sheila's probably
having fat sucked out
of some part of her body.
'Sheila!'
Don't you look great?
Thanks to Jenny
Craig and a great tailor.
Ooh, thank you.
Now, Maxine Shaw is one of
our brightest young attorney.
She'll be helping you with
those wedding contracts.
Doesn't she just look great?
Oh, stop it.
Ta‐ta.
So good to see a
woman on the job.
It's good to be one.
Okay, Ms. Kelly, I just need
you to initial a few items.
This is for the reception
hall beverage service.
Max, let me show you the
fabric to my gown, feel it.
Doesn't it make you wanna
rush out and great married?
‐ Nice. ‐ 'Oh, thank you.'
Oh, Ms. Kelly, the notes
from your prenuptial agreement
seem to be
missing from the file.
We don't have a prenuptial.
You don't?
No one brought it up
to us. There's no need.
Sheldon and I are very
close, very simpatico.
I trust him completely.
Oh.
If I had a dollar
for every woman
that stood in this
room and said that..
Let's pick a scenario,
any scenario.
Say you two are
living your life, okay?
You're loving him more
than, what, peanut butter.
‐ Ooh! That's nice.? ‐ Okay?
And then one morning
he just packs his raggedy
old duffel bag and leaves.
No note. No nothing.
He's just gone.
Well, Max, a piece of paper
can't stop him from leaving.
No, of course not
but it can mean you won't
have to pay him $10,000 a week
for the rest of your life.
Well, he knows he's
coming in this with nothing
more than his good looks,
youth and a washboard stomach.
Few years living in a mansion
can make a person
flabby and forgetful.
‐ Ah. W‐would he have
a case? ‐ Doesn't matter.
Legal fees and
negative publicity alone
could cost you millions.
Well, I have worked
too damn hard
to let something
like that happen.
I am going to talk to Sheldon.
Thank you, girlfriend.
Can you believe he brought
this hideous thing up here?
I wish I could
just get rid of it.
Well, you know, Kyle,
accidents do happen.
Throw some raw
steaks on this bad boy
let your dog tear it up.
‐ Oops. ‐ 'Oops.'
‐ Hey, roommate,
neighbor. ‐ 'Hey.'
Man's best friend.
Overton, what are you doing?
Polishing up this
diamond in the rough.
Going to make it heat up
massage, play music, the works.
Now pass me that
acetylene torch right quick.
Stop the madness, Overton.
The chair is a piece of junk.
Just 'cause it's not your
taste, don't make it junk.
Besides, everything in
this apartment says Kyle.
Kyle's couch, Kyle's albums,
Kyle's semi‐erotic literature.
I just want one thing
in this place that says..
Overton.
Get a parrot.
Has anyone seen Khadijah?
No. Unh‐unh.
Just when the chair
had established itself
as the ugliest thing
in the room, voila!
Snipe away. I'm not in
the mood today, Kyle.
‐ What? ‐ Don't have it in me.
‐ Girl, you alright? ‐ No.
I try to do my job, but does
anybody appreciate it? Unh‐unh.
Well, what's wrong,
girl? What happened?
I advised Sheila Kelly
about a prenuptial agreement.
When she brought
it up to her fiance
he broke off the engagement.
Now she's blaming me.
You made her lose
Sheldon? Fine as he is?
I'd sue you.
Max, it sounds like you
were just doing your job.
Not according to the partners.
They've called a meeting
to discuss my conduct.
That's code for don't
order extra business cards.
Oh, come on, Max,
it will all work out.
You did the right thing.
‐ I did? ‐ Of course.
I mean, a woman as wealthy
and eligible as Sheila is
needs to protect herself.
Because you never know
somebody until you live with them.
And even then, there's
always something new.

Oh, Khadijah, I have
a feeling it's for you.
Another gift from Alonzo?
"I can't bear living
without you. Love, Alonzo."
Could you sign here?
You look a lot like that
running back for the Rams..
Jerome Bettis.
You kind of remind
me of Queen Latifah.
Oh, please. Stop
looking for tips.
Well, I better give
him an answer
before he sends
his class over again
to sing "Froggy
went a courtin'."
I don't know about you
but Alonzo's winning
big points with me.
Yeah, he is making it
awfully hard to say no.
Oh, look, Khadijah,
more flowers.
Baby, I'm back!
Scooter!
Hey.
Surprised to see me, huh?
Oh, yeah.
What, what are you doing here?
That's what I kept
asking myself in LA.
‐ Really? ‐ Yeah.
Listen, I got a job interview.
If it works out, I'll
be back in New York.
Ooh! New York! That's here! Oh!
But the job isn't really
why I want to come back.
You know what I'm saying?
I think so.
Mm! Look at you, making
me late for my interview.
Call you later?
Okay.
Please hold.
Khadijah, that's
Alonzo on the phone.
He wants to know
if you got the bear.
Girl, it's raining men. Woo‐hoo!
Counselor, because of
your unsolicited advice
regarding prenuptial agreements.
Ms. Kelly has suffered
a great personal loss.
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
Do you know how long I've
waited for a man like Sheldon?
Do you know how old
I am? Doesn't matter.
I can understand that
you're upset, but‐‐.
Upset? Aren't you
listening to me?
Okay.
I wanted to get married!
As long as she's here..
I can't work with you.
You just don't know how
old I am. It doesn't matter.
Whoo! Showbiz types.
Okay.
Maybe I wasn't authorized
to give her that advice, but..
She needed to know.
Evans and Bell decides
what our clients need to know.
That's why our
names are on the door.
And yours is on a
nameplate that's removable.
I think I can see
where this is going.
But before we get
there, let me just say
'our clients trust us to
keep them fully advised.'
Anything less
would be negligent.
And with all due respect,
you're not mad at me
because you think I gave
Sheila Kelly bad advice.
You're mad at me because I
was doing the job you should have.
Now..
Go ahead and fire me.
Oh, no, no, no.
You're too sharp an attorney
for us to just let you go.
So, go ahead and
give me a raise?
Maxine, we'd like you
to take some time off
effective immediately.
You're suspending me?
No. Let's just call it
an extended... vacation.
You sure you don't
want to give me a raise?
Damn.
Hey.
Hey, Khadijah, you moving
out? 'Cause I might need a room.
Oh, what happened?
I came home and found
Sanford attacking my chair.
And the upholstery smells
suspiciously like steak sauce.
Accidents happen.
Oops.
Yeah.
I just told Kyle the
apartment wasn't big enough
for the both of us,
and I decided to leave.
You gonna be alright?
Yeah. I just need to
be alone for a while.
Synclaire, are you free?
Yes, and I have
just the tonic for you.
We're going to go to the '70s.
Avant‐garde film
symposium in the village.
Shaft's big score, "Dolemite."
One, two and three.
And Truck Turner, the
director's cut. Let's go.
Oh... that will keep
us out all night.
Hey, where y'all going?
We're going to the
'70s film festival.
Can you dig it?
Hey, baby, you all packed, huh?
Uh, why don't I get
us something to eat?
You seem a little hungry.
I'll get it.
‐ How you doing, Regine? ‐ Oh!
Oh! I'm good. I'm fine.
Yeah. I'm never better.
Oh. I see you got company.
Yeah, good eye.
Eye.
‐ What's up? ‐ What's up, man?
‐ I'm Terrence. ‐ Alonzo.
‐ Hi, it's good‐‐ ‐ Hi.
You know, Scooter grew
up with me and Khadijah.
Mm‐hmm. Yeah, and,
um, Alonzo here's a teacher.
Yeah, he's a teacher.
Teacher of the year.
Yeah. That's him.
And, um, Khadijah profiled
him in the, the magazine
the magazine, and I bet you
we got copies of it lying around
oh, I don't know,
in the kitchen.
That's where the
copies are. Yes.
You wanted mustard or not, so..
So..
Khadijah.
Look who's here, girl.
Hey, babe.
Babe?
Man, I had the day from hell.
Come on, Khadijah,
let's do this.
Max, this is not
exactly the best timing.
Can we talk later?
Oh.
Well, alright, Regine.
Come on, you'll do.
Max. Maxine Shaw, whatever
happened to you today
isn't nearly as juicy as
what's about to go down here.
So, Khadijah's in a bind.
Doesn't anyone care about me?
Damn!
If I only knew some
people in my own building.
Babe?
Regine, can we have
some privacy, please?
Yeah, sure. I'm
sorry, girl. Of course.
I'll just finish my dinner
upstairs... by the vent.
So, Khadijah, who is this guy?
Scooter is an old friend.
Mm‐hmm.
Who, before I met you
became... more than a friend.
Uh‐huh.
And who's this guy?
Al‐Alonzo's... a new friend.
Who you're getting
ready to live with.
Live with?
Live with.
Then why am I trying to
move here to be with you?
I'm kind of thirsty.
Y'all want some soda?
What the hell's going on?
Terrence just flew in
from LA to surprise me.
Well... do you have
feelings for this guy?
Yes.
But I have feelings for you too.
You know that.
But you're just not ready for
the type of relationship I want.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
Keep the bear.
Scooter?
Damn!
You're still here.
Yeah.
Regine got her hair
caught in the vent.
I‐I thought you left.
Well, you ain't gonna
get rid of me that easily.
So where's your friend?
He left.
Are you okay?
I will be.
Look, there's some things
I need to explain to you.
Uh, no, no, you don't.
I did just drop in
here unannounced.
I don't know why I expected
your life to be on hold.
Maybe..
Because there's
something between us
that's just not going away.
No maybe about it.
So, now what?
How about this?
Okay.
Now, I really hope
I get that job here.
'Cause there's just some
things you can't do long distance.
'Are y'all kissing?'
Ah, suki, suki now.
Be sure and come back and
see what happens. Smooches.

You sure you don't
want to give me a raise?
Damn.
Hey.
Hey, Khadijah, you moving
out? 'Cause I might need a room.
Oh, what happened?
I came home and found
Sanford attacking my chair.
And the upholstery smells
suspiciously like steak sauce.
Accidents happen.
Oops.
Yeah.
I just told Kyle the
apartment wasn't big enough
for the both of us,
and I decided to leave.
You gonna be alright?
Yeah. I just need to
be alone for a while.
Synclaire, are you free?
Yes, and I have
just the tonic for you.
We're going to go to the '70s.
Avant‐garde film
symposium in the village.
Shaft's big score, "Dolemite."
One, two and three.
And Truck Turner, the
director's cut. Let's go.
Oh... that will keep
us out all night.
Hey, where y'all going?
We're going to the
'70s film festival.
Can you dig it?
Hey, baby, you all packed, huh?
Uh, why don't I get
us something to eat?
You seem a little hungry.
I'll get it.
‐ How you doing, Regine? ‐ Oh!
Oh! I'm good. I'm fine.
Yeah. I'm never better.
Oh. I see you got company.
Yeah, good eye.
Eye.
‐ What's up? ‐ What's up, man?
‐ I'm Terrence. ‐ Alonzo.
‐ Hi, it's good‐‐ ‐ Hi.
You know, Scooter grew
up with me and Khadijah.
Mm‐hmm. Yeah, and,
um, Alonzo here's a teacher.
Yeah, he's a teacher.
Teacher of the year.
Yeah. That's him.
And, um, Khadijah profiled
him in the, the magazine
the magazine, and I bet you
we got copies of it lying around
oh, I don't know,
in the kitchen.
That's where the
copies are. Yes.
You wanted mustard or not, so..
So..
Khadijah.
Look who's here, girl.
Hey, babe.
Babe?
Man, I had the day from hell.
Come on, Khadijah,
let's do this.
Max, this is not
exactly the best timing.
Can we talk later?
Oh.
Well, alright, Regine.
Come on, you'll do.
Max. Maxine Shaw, whatever
happened to you today
isn't nearly as juicy as
what's about to go down here.
So, Khadijah's in a bind.
Doesn't anyone care about me?
Damn!
If I only knew some
people in my own building.
Babe?
Regine, can we have
some privacy, please?
Yeah, sure. I'm
sorry, girl. Of course.
I'll just finish my dinner
upstairs... by the vent.
So, Khadijah, who is this guy?
Scooter is an old friend.
Mm‐hmm.
Who, before I met you
became... more than a friend.
Uh‐huh.
And who's this guy?
Al‐Alonzo's... a new friend.
Who you're getting
ready to live with.
Live with?
Live with.
Then why am I trying to
move here to be with you?
I'm kind of thirsty.
Y'all want some soda?
What the hell's going on?
Terrence just flew in
from LA to surprise me.
Well... do you have
feelings for this guy?
Yes.
But I have feelings for you too.
You know that.
But you're just not ready for
the type of relationship I want.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
Keep the bear.
Scooter?
Damn!
You're still here.
Yeah.
Regine got her hair
caught in the vent.
I‐I thought you left.
Well, you ain't gonna
get rid of me that easily.
So where's your friend?
He left.
Are you okay?
I will be.
Look, there's some things
I need to explain to you.
Uh, no, no, you don't.
I did just drop in
here unannounced.
I don't know why I expected
your life to be on hold.
Maybe..
Because there's
something between us
that's just not going away.
No maybe about it.
So, now what?
How about this?
Okay.
Now, I really hope
I get that job here.
'Cause there's just some
things you can't do long distance.
'Are y'all kissing?'
Ah, suki, suki now.
Be sure and come back and
see what happens. Smooches.
