Living Single (1993–1998): Season 2, Episode 18 - The Last Temptation - full transcript
That was the last box.
Goodwill will be
here in about an hour.
I gotta say, givin'
away all those clothes
was pretty generous of you.
I figured "Hey, why
shouldn't the less fortunate"
be as chic as I
was two years ago.
You're just too
good for this world.
Well, any world actually.
Hey, people.
‐ That coat! ‐ Isn't it sharp?
I found it in a
box on the stoop.
No, Max. This is my
coat. I'm givin' it to charity.
Well, charity begins at home.
And since I'm in
your home, thank you.
No, you can't have it.
Yeah? Well, said coat was
found outside in an unmarked box.
Proving that possession was
abandoned by its previous owner
or in layman terms, finders
keepers, losers weepers.
I want my coat back.
You don't have the right
accessories to go with it.
Oh! Since I found me a $20 in
this pocket, I can be me some.
Ah‐ah! That‐that's
mine. Max, that's mine.

Thank you, ladies,
for a wonderful meal.
Hey, Cookie Nose, I was
especially bowled over
by your delicious
white instant rice.
Thank you, Tastebud.
My secret is distilled water.
You know, I can't believe that
you guys still use pet names
after a whole year dating.
It must stop.
Correction. It will be a
whole year tomorrow.
So, how are you two gonna
celebrate your anniversary?
Another night of chastity, hmm?
Go ahead, poke fun.
But, Obie, tells me he's got
something special planned
for our anniversary.
Really, I don't wanna
spoil the surprise.
Let's just say it involves
going somewhere nice
and eating something good.
I don't get anniversaries.
You celebrate looking at
the same creep everyday
for a whole year and
then you have a party
so you can start looking
at them all over again.
What is the freakin' point?
You see, that's the way
we humans express emotion.
Ho!
So, Kyle, did you
get Obie's hat size?
I have a fedora all
picked out for him.
He's a seven and a half,
and I almost got caught.
And I don't know how to explain
myself to a bald man wakin' up
with a string tied
around his head.
Hey, um.. Sorry to interrupt
your tat‐tat about my present
but, Shorty, we gotta
go plan our anniversary.
Not yours and mine,
mine and Synclaire's.
Hi, you guys.
We're gonna clear outta
here too, so you can study.
‐ We're gonna be
at Max's. ‐ Alright.
Max's apartment? Oh,
oh! Let's bring a camera.
I want proof that this
mythical place exists.
It's not like I never
had you over.
Remember when you
picked me up from the airport?
I let you carry my bags in.
Ta‐da!
Alright, Max.
You're not going to keep
wearing that coat, are you?
Hell yeah.
Out of all the coats that were
my before, this is my favorite.
It's a 100% pure virgin
wool. Mmm, snuggly.
And don't even get me
started on the silky satin lining.
Stop it. Stop it.
Stop it. Stop it.
Hey, Regine, don't you
have a coat just like that?
Synclaire, why are
you fluffing the pillows?
I want the place to look nice.
Jon Marc's the best student
in my psychology class.
It's an honor to study with him.
Jon Marc? That's a
sexy sounding name.
What does he look like?
He's attractive, if you
like the model type.
You know, tall, buffed,
three dimples, huh.
I've always been
curious about psychology.
Maybe I should hangout
for a while. Probe his mind.
You know, get a little
intellectual stimulation.
Max, people are
talking about you.
They're staring to call you a
genius if you know what I mean.
Oh my!
How're you? I'm Jon
Marc. Synclaire in?
Here I am. I look
different at home.
That's funny. How
you doin', Synclaire?
Yes, we'll be across the
street if you need anything.
Call me. Here's my card.
My home number's on the back.
‐ Dang! You are
really forward. ‐ Yeah.
Well, you see, this
is a new method.
Usually, she just clubs men and
then drags 'em back to her cave.
Okay, now. Okay.
Alright, let's go.
Hey, nice place.
Thank you. Can I get
you something to drink?
Water, coffee,
blueberry smoothie?
That's okay. We should
probably just hit the books, huh?
So, what are you
having most trouble with?
Chapters One to 22.
I really need help.
Hey, listen to me. It's
my pleasure, okay?
I'm here for as
long as it takes.
Um..
Alrighty! Uh..
My first question is why was
that guy Pavlov so mean to dogs?
Uh, thank you.
And if everything goes
perfectly at dinner tomorrow night
there'll be an extra
buck in there for you.
No, I ain't kiddin'. I
mean, I got a bank.
That was quite impressive, man.
You know, the Moreal is
hottest restaurant in town?
Wait! How'd you
get a reservation?
I just told them it
was my anniversary
and I explained my Uncle Bill
Cosby wouldn't be attending.
And I ordered their specialty.
Which we have to arrange
one day in advance.
Wait, you mean the champagnon
de ela sauce crevettes.
Oui.
I can't even wait to find
out what the hell it is.
Oh, but wait. Pullin'
out all the stops.
I reserved a limo
for the entire evening.
Oh, that's some
classy touch, man.
Yeah. A friend of mine
who runs a funeral parlor..
And he said all he had
to do is drop off an urn
on the way to the restaurant
and we're rollin' in style.
Obie, you puling out
all the stops, huh?
Well, Synclaire deserves it.
Besides, the one year mark
in any relationship is critical.
'Course you wouldn't know that.
Well, you know, this is true.
My situation could be
better characterised as a rut.
An endless stream of beautiful
women one after the other..
After the other..
You know, but I digress. Um..
I assume you got
Synclaire an appropriate gift.
Feast your eyes.
I had this charm bracelet
made of all of her favorite things.
You got a little dog, a
kitty cat, a smiley face
a little daisy.
A skull and crossbones?
Eh! She got a dark side.
Okay. It says here
that every dream reveals itself
as a psychological structure.
What does that mean?
Huh?
Oh, Freud. Um..
Oh, I believe he meant that
dreams contain hidden clues
‐ to your personality. ‐ Mmm.
I wonder what Freud would
think of the dream I had last night.
I was an axe murderer.
And everywhere I went, I
went hacking away at people.
Whack, whack, whack,
whack, whack, whack.
Does this mean I have
a psychological problem?
‐ No. I think you are so great.
‐ Mm. Oh, but wait. But wait.
Then Khadijah pops
up out of a toaster..
And chases me around in an
amusement park with a wet fish.
You are so
imaginative, Synclaire.
I bet you even
dream in color too.
I do. I do. I do.
Except the dream I keep having
about penguins in the snow.
But you know what?
Knowing Freud, I bet he'd
turn that into something sexual.
You know, Freud understood
that people are sexual beings.
Wow!
You really get this stuff.
Let me get that down.
You know, I'm really glad
we're taking this class together.
Mm‐hm.
I really like spending
time with you.
Um.. What?
Oh my god! Um.. Um..
‐ What? What is it? ‐
Um, I have a boyfriend.
‐ Oh, hey! I didn't know.
‐ I know. You gotta go.
‐ Coat, bag, go!
‐ But, Synclaire..
‐ Please go. ‐ I'm sorry.
I know. Go. Please go.
No smoothie,
nothing to drink. Go.
‐ Bye. Go! ‐ Synclaire..
Oh my god!
Oh, hey.
What're you guys
doing home so early?
We sat down to watch a
movie, but ol' Max had to eat
was a half a bottle
of lemon juice..
And a head of lettuce
that looked like lion.
And she stole that
from us two months ago.
Thief.
By the by, did notice
these beautiful buttons?
‐ Where's Jon Marc?
‐ He had to leave.
Helped me finish studying and
he had to leave, therefore he left.
‐ Alright? ‐ Okay.
You don't believe me, do you?
Well, I'm telling
it's the truth.
Finished studying,
he left, he had to go.
Okay, he kissed me. Satisfied?
What the devil!
Oh, sucker‐sucker now.
‐ Hey! ‐ What?
I told him I had a boyfriend
and asked him to leave.
Well, I would have
done the same thing.
I'd have given him
a sponge‐bath first.
But that's just me.
We were just sitting here
discussing dreams and sex..
And then I didn't even
know where he kissed me..
With some very soft lips.
I'm so ashamed.
Look, is something not right
between you and Overton?
No, I love Overton.
He's everything a cheating
infidel like me could ever want.
Please stop beating yourself up.
So you got a charge
from another powerline.
Well, I know things will be
right when I confess to Overton.
Why would you do that?
Because I feel guilty.
Guilt is a tricky emotion.
It's put there by your
parents to stop you
from doing things
that feel good.
Don't lecture me, Max. I'm
taking a psychology class.
I feel guilty because
I'm bad inside.
Synclaire, if you tell
Overton, he will be devastated.
Especially this close
to your anniversary.
When you're about to get a gift.
I'll say, keep your
damn mouth shut.
Trust me.
Sometimes being honest
hurts peoples feelings.
Like the time you had two
free tickets to see Madonna
and told Regine you had
one, so you could take Max?
They were really bad
seats. They were way up.
And Madonna looked like an ant.
Tiny‐teeny little ant
just touching herself.
The only thing that could
have made that concert better
is if I was wearing this coat.
I don't wanna hurt Obie, so
I'm gonna keep this to myself.
Amen.
Maybe I could
talk to God about it.
But, then again,
Obie talks to God.
But the big guy wouldn't
spill the beans, would he?
That was excellent.
Now, here's a little
something for the band.
Wow, Obie, this evening
has been so romantic.
I don't deserve it.
Of course you do. We
deserve each other.
'Cause we have the perfect
love with a perfect couple
and this is the perfect night.
Would the Monsieur
Jones and the lovely lady
care for anything else?
Oh, I couldn't be.
That rum cake has already
given me quite a buzz. Thank you.
‐ Just the check, Ori.
‐ Oui, Monsieur Jones.
And per your request
I'll bring you those
tiny mints, you favor?
Um.. Ooh‐la‐la.
I guess now would
be a good time for me
to give you my
anniversary guilt.
Gift. Anniversary gift.
I've been wondering all night
what was in this big hat box.
Wow.
Eh, this hat is bad.
Kyle measured
the string just right.
Aw, thanks, baby.
You're the best.
No, I'm really not.
Synclaire, you are to me.
Now, it's your turn.
Look, I know there's no gift
in the world that would equal
what you've already given me.
But please accept this
as a symbol of my love.
Oh, Obie.
‐ Now, now.. ‐ I'm a slut.
What are you talking about?
And why are you
talking so loudly?
I kissed another man.
When did this happen?
When I went to the rest room?
No, last night.
I was studying with Jon
Marc and he kissed me.
I didn't expect it.
It just happened.
I'll kill him.
No. No, he didn't
know I had a boyfriend.
It was totally innocent.
Did you kiss him back?
No.
You know, kissing is
such a strange thing.
I guess..
So this whole beautifully
planned evening
has been one big lie?
Overton, I've never
lied to you before
and I never will again.
Well, let me drop a
little bomb on you, girly.
Our limo is owned
by a funeral parlor.
Our driver is the embalmer.
How you like me now?
Obie, wait.
Hey, kids, my
coat and I are here.
Max, I have been looking
through these old catalogues
and I cannot find
that coat anywhere.
So, I am willing to
give you $300 for it.
I paid 250 for
it, two years ago.
Why don't you wait till
some idiot throws it out
then you can have it for free.
Max, you don't need the coat.
You have all that body
hair to keep you warm.
And it all stands on an
end when I look at you.
I want my coat back, Maxine.
You left it outside.
You left it outside.
Alright, hold that y'all.
Ya'll just need to
chill the hell out.
Acting like a couple
of eight‐year‐olds
and I can't have this.
‐ Max is my mommy
now. ‐ Shut up..
Come on, Obie, just talk to me.
No, woman.
Damn, now I broke my silence.
Wait! Gossip!
Overton Wakefield Jones,
you cannot ignore me forever.
I'm sorry, what was
your name again?
The girls were right. I
shouldn't have told you.
Yeah, they're real geniuses
when it comes to relationships.
‐ 'Hey‐‐' ‐ 'Don't!'
Overton, I'm asking you
lets please discuss
this like mature adults.
Nope, don't wanna.
Obie!
Oh, that was juicy.
I feel like a new woman.
Overton, please beleive me.
He was only here to help
me get a passing grade.
And I suppose your lips
were going for extra credit.
The whole thing only
lasted five seconds.
Five seconds! You know
how long that is in lip time?
Let's take a look, shall we?
And go.
Kissing, kissing, kissing..
Still kissing, kissing.
That's when you realized you
had a devoted boyfriend, huh?
That's just mean.
Sorry, if I offended
your delicate sensibility.
Ms. Drama Dance Synclaire.
But I'm the victim here.
What you did, that hurt, girl.
Overton, I'm so sorry.
Maybe my lips were touching his
but my heart is always with you.
Look, if I didn't
really love you
I wouldn't have told you.
I mean, I wanna beleive that.
But things were
really right between us
this never would have happened.
If there is something
wrong, I say we sit here
review our relationship
and try to figure where
the problem got started.
Okay.
Eighteen months ago
I saw a moving van roll up
saw you in the front seat
and said, "That must
be Khadijah's cousin."
She's kinda cute."
And then I saw you and I said.
"Oh, the handy man lives in
the building, how convenient."
Then that first ray of
hope, your toaster broke.
It did, didn't it?
Got really quiet up there.
Maybe we should check on 'em.
‐ Okay, I'm going in. ‐
I'm gonna cover you, girl.
Back up, vultures. It's
my apartment, I'll go.
Okay, but the second
you get up there
call us and let us
know everything is cool.
Yes, signal us.
Jump off the roof.
And when you pass the
window flash the okay sign.
Yeah, Khadijah. Yeah, it's me.
No, no, they're fine.
Everything is cool.
No, you can't talk
to her right now.
Trust me, trust me.
She's busy.
You know, Obie
being with you is even more
amazing than I ever dreamed.
And I dream in color.
Yeah, just wish it
wasn't over so fast.
Yeah, I'm sorry
I finished first.
I know that we didn't think
that we were ready to go
to this stage in
our realtionship.
But the way you ripped
my clothes off, mama
I knew it was about that time.
I never realized how much
passion I'd saved up for you.
Well, my Lothario old
Uncle Timmy used to say.
"Passion is like money.
Time to save it up and
a time to spend it all."
So, what you wanna do now?
Um, take off the hat, daddy.
This time I want you naked.
You finally got that
damn coat back?
What'd you say to Max to get it?
I said his $400.
Hey, Regine, that money you
gave me for that crummy coat
really came in handy.
I just booked myself on a
single ski weekend in Wale.
And I'm going to wear this.
Where did you get this one?
Same box I got that coat.
Oh, I took a whole lotta stuff.
That's my sweater
and I want it back.
Well, unless you
have another $400
this sweater is
going to Colorado.
Ski, ski, ski, woosh,
woosh, woosh.
Goodwill will be
here in about an hour.
I gotta say, givin'
away all those clothes
was pretty generous of you.
I figured "Hey, why
shouldn't the less fortunate"
be as chic as I
was two years ago.
You're just too
good for this world.
Well, any world actually.
Hey, people.
‐ That coat! ‐ Isn't it sharp?
I found it in a
box on the stoop.
No, Max. This is my
coat. I'm givin' it to charity.
Well, charity begins at home.
And since I'm in
your home, thank you.
No, you can't have it.
Yeah? Well, said coat was
found outside in an unmarked box.
Proving that possession was
abandoned by its previous owner
or in layman terms, finders

I want my coat back.
You don't have the right
accessories to go with it.
Oh! Since I found me a $20 in
this pocket, I can be me some.
Ah‐ah! That‐that's
mine. Max, that's mine.

Don't lecture me, Max. I'm
taking a psychology class.
I feel guilty because
I'm bad inside.
Synclaire, if you tell
Overton, he will be devastated.
Especially this close
to your anniversary.
When you're about to get a gift.
I'll say, keep your
damn mouth shut.
Trust me.
Sometimes being honest
hurts peoples feelings.
Like the time you had two
free tickets to see Madonna
and told Regine you had
one, so you could take Max?
They were really bad
seats. They were way up.
And Madonna looked like an ant.
Tiny‐teeny little ant
just touching herself.
The only thing that could
have made that concert better
is if I was wearing this coat.
I don't wanna hurt Obie, so
I'm gonna keep this to myself.
Amen.
Maybe I could
talk to God about it.
But, then again,
Obie talks to God.
But the big guy wouldn't
spill the beans, would he?
That was excellent.
Now, here's a little
something for the band.
Wow, Obie, this evening
has been so romantic.
I don't deserve it.
Of course you do. We
deserve each other.
'Cause we have the perfect
love with a perfect couple
and this is the perfect night.
Would the Monsieur
Jones and the lovely lady
care for anything else?
Oh, I couldn't be.
That rum cake has already
given me quite a buzz. Thank you.
‐ Just the check, Ori.
‐ Oui, Monsieur Jones.
And per your request
I'll bring you those
tiny mints, you favor?
Um.. Ooh‐la‐la.
I guess now would
be a good time for me
to give you my
anniversary guilt.
Gift. Anniversary gift.
I've been wondering all night
what was in this big hat box.
Wow.
Eh, this hat is bad.
Kyle measured
the string just right.
Aw, thanks, baby.
You're the best.
No, I'm really not.
Synclaire, you are to me.
Now, it's your turn.
Look, I know there's no gift
in the world that would equal
what you've already given me.
But please accept this
as a symbol of my love.
Oh, Obie.
‐ Now, now.. ‐ I'm a slut.
What are you talking about?
And why are you
talking so loudly?
I kissed another man.
When did this happen?
When I went to the rest room?
No, last night.
I was studying with Jon
Marc and he kissed me.
I didn't expect it.
It just happened.
I'll kill him.
No. No, he didn't
know I had a boyfriend.
It was totally innocent.
Did you kiss him back?
No.
You know, kissing is
such a strange thing.
I guess..
So this whole beautifully
planned evening
has been one big lie?
Overton, I've never
lied to you before
and I never will again.
Well, let me drop a
little bomb on you, girly.
Our limo is owned
by a funeral parlor.
Our driver is the embalmer.
How you like me now?
Obie, wait.
Hey, kids, my
coat and I are here.
Max, I have been looking
through these old catalogues
and I cannot find
that coat anywhere.
So, I am willing to
give you $300 for it.
I paid 250 for
it, two years ago.
Why don't you wait till
some idiot throws it out
then you can have it for free.
Max, you don't need the coat.
You have all that body
hair to keep you warm.
And it all stands on an
end when I look at you.
I want my coat back, Maxine.
You left it outside.
You left it outside.
Alright, hold that y'all.
Ya'll just need to
chill the hell out.
Acting like a couple
of eight‐year‐olds
and I can't have this.
‐ Max is my mommy
now. ‐ Shut up..
Come on, Obie, just talk to me.
No, woman.
Damn, now I broke my silence.
Wait! Gossip!
Overton Wakefield Jones,
you cannot ignore me forever.
I'm sorry, what was
your name again?
The girls were right. I
shouldn't have told you.
Yeah, they're real geniuses
when it comes to relationships.
‐ 'Hey‐‐' ‐ 'Don't!'
Overton, I'm asking you
lets please discuss
this like mature adults.
Nope, don't wanna.
Obie!
Oh, that was juicy.
I feel like a new woman.
Overton, please beleive me.
He was only here to help
me get a passing grade.
And I suppose your lips
were going for extra credit.
The whole thing only
lasted five seconds.
Five seconds! You know
how long that is in lip time?
Let's take a look, shall we?
And go.
Kissing, kissing, kissing..
Still kissing, kissing.
That's when you realized you
had a devoted boyfriend, huh?
That's just mean.
Sorry, if I offended
your delicate sensibility.
Ms. Drama Dance Synclaire.
But I'm the victim here.
What you did, that hurt, girl.
Overton, I'm so sorry.
Maybe my lips were touching his
but my heart is always with you.
Look, if I didn't
really love you
I wouldn't have told you.
I mean, I wanna beleive that.
But things were
really right between us
this never would have happened.
If there is something
wrong, I say we sit here
review our relationship
and try to figure where
the problem got started.
Okay.
Eighteen months ago
I saw a moving van roll up
saw you in the front seat
and said, "That must
be Khadijah's cousin."
She's kinda cute."
And then I saw you and I said.
"Oh, the handy man lives in
the building, how convenient."
Then that first ray of
hope, your toaster broke.
It did, didn't it?
Got really quiet up there.
Maybe we should check on 'em.
‐ Okay, I'm going in. ‐
I'm gonna cover you, girl.
Back up, vultures. It's
my apartment, I'll go.
Okay, but the second
you get up there
call us and let us
know everything is cool.
Yes, signal us.
Jump off the roof.
And when you pass the
window flash the okay sign.
Yeah, Khadijah. Yeah, it's me.
No, no, they're fine.
Everything is cool.
No, you can't talk
to her right now.
Trust me, trust me.
She's busy.
You know, Obie
being with you is even more
amazing than I ever dreamed.
And I dream in color.
Yeah, just wish it
wasn't over so fast.
Yeah, I'm sorry
I finished first.
I know that we didn't think
that we were ready to go
to this stage in
our realtionship.
But the way you ripped
my clothes off, mama
I knew it was about that time.
I never realized how much
passion I'd saved up for you.
Well, my Lothario old
Uncle Timmy used to say.
"Passion is like money.
Time to save it up and
a time to spend it all."
So, what you wanna do now?
Um, take off the hat, daddy.
This time I want you naked.
You finally got that
damn coat back?
What'd you say to Max to get it?
I said his $400.
Hey, Regine, that money you
gave me for that crummy coat
really came in handy.
I just booked myself on a
single ski weekend in Wale.
And I'm going to wear this.
Where did you get this one?
Same box I got that coat.
Oh, I took a whole lotta stuff.
That's my sweater
and I want it back.
Well, unless you
have another $400
this sweater is
going to Colorado.
Ski, ski, ski, woosh,
woosh, woosh.
