Living Single (1993–1998): Season 3, Episode 9 - Baby I'm Back... Again - full transcript
Regine, why am I
doing this again?
To stop unsightly laugh
lines and crow's‐feet
even before they begin.
Well, how come
you don't use 'em?
I don't need them.
Regine, how long do I
keep my feet in this thing?
Honey, I've seen the corns
you might wanna just
settle on in for the night.
‐ Hey, y'all. ‐ No!
Hey, Joe. Joe, I really
had a really good time.
I‐I would love to invite
you in but there's, uh..
Some major reconstruction
going on, I'll see you later.
Okay. What the hell?
For your information, we
are having a beauty night.
It ain't working.
Uh, be right there.
What is this guy's name?
Uh, sounds like a sandwich.
Filet‐O‐Fish?
Yeah, Synclaire. That's it.
Reuben!
Bye.
Man, that used to be us.
Dates back to back,
couldn't keep 'em straight.
Now, look at us. Manless.
Excuse you. We have men.
That's right.
I got somebody who'd look
at these corns, and still smile.
I may not have a
man at the moment.
But it is not been that
long since I've had a date.
Oh, my God. It's
been over two months.
Things haven't been this
bad since the drought of '89.
And that was only because I
was visiting friends in Alabama.
And refused to
go out with anyone
named Baby Brother,
Butter or Bookie.

Oh!
Max, what's the legal
angle on the dispute
between the Road
Runner and the Coyote?
Well, he could charge the
Road Runner with battery.
Trouble is he's got no
witnesses, you know
he's a known
buyer of explosives.
The bird could always
plead self‐defense.
And you are talking
about a cartoon coyote.
Get a life.
Are you going out again?
What is this, your third
date in sixteen hours?
It's gotta be some
kind of record.
What a coincidence. Regine
is working on her record herself.
‐ What kind of record?
‐ Well, let's just say..
The last time Regine had a date
Hugh Grant didn't
have to buy his.
You know, this sounds like
that drought you had in '89.
Oh.
That's my match, Davin.
‐ Davin. ‐ Davin.
Baby, I'm back.
Yeah, Khadijah, look at that.
I told you we could
count on Scooter.
I mean he drops by every
11 months just like clockwork.
Nice to see you too, Max.
I had to cancel the
last leg of our tour.
Our lead singer broke her nose
when one of her
garters gave way.
Dear God, clothing
can be dangerous.
I once sprained my
ankle putting on flip‐flops.
I really missed you, Khadijah.
Well, I see how
that could happen
over the course of a year.
Oh!
Uh, well, look. Hey, I'm
happy to see you, Scooter.
Uh, let me give you
a little sports update.
‐ Mmm. ‐ See,
football didn't strike.
Uh, basketball
almost had a strike.
‐ Baseball in the
day strike. ‐ Mmm.
Personally I'm hopin'
for a damn golf strike.
So, Scooter.
‐ What'd ya bring
me back? ‐ Oh, oh.
I know you brought
me something back.
I know you like
to buy me a gift.
Ha‐ha!
One hundred percent human
hair from the Philippines.
Oh, y'all, she used
conditioner. Oh!
And, Synclaire, heh.
I got you these tapes.
"How to speak English
in fourteen days?"
‐ It's in German. ‐ Oh. Oh.
Max. I got you the hottest
new video game from Japan.
‐ "Blooded Teeth
of Justice." ‐ Mmm.
Gimme that.
Eh, it's no bag of
hair, but I'll take it.
So, uh, Terrence.
Uh, you got any more
international trinkets
in that bag? You know, uh..
Oh‐oh‐oh, oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah. Yeah, you know, uh..
You know that, uh, I‐I
never forget my boys.
‐ You know what I'm saying? ‐
Yeah, yeah, come, I'm waiting.
Yeah, yeah, here.
Oh, wow. A Jetway magazine.
And you've even taken care to
do the crossword puzzle for me.
Gee, thanks.
Headphones.
Yeah, all I need now is
a DC‐10, I'm in business.
Khadijah, I got you
something in Australia.
See when I saw this, I
immediately thought of us.
No matter how far a boomerang
flies, it always comes back.
Uh, look I would
love to stay here
and catch up with you but
I kinda made other plans.
‐ Hey, Davin. ‐ Hello.
Well, if your game is as good
as you look, I'm in trouble.
See ya.
Thanks, man!
You know, I can't believe
Scooter thinks he could just
stroll up in here and
pick up where he left off.
But he's so cute though.
You know, thrown just right
you could take somebody's
head off with this thing.
What the heck,
and why would you?
Hey.
We have plenty of food in
the fridge. What is all this?
We took a little trip to
the frozen food section
or as I like to call
it, bachelor row.
I figured I'd get a
hungry man dinner
and perhaps a hungry man.
I can't believe I came up empty.
I suggested she stand next
to the imported beer fridge.
But no.
Hello.
Yes, she is. One moment.
Regine, it's some guy for you.
Gimme that.
Hello, this is Regine Hunter.
Oh, yeah.
It's the carpet cleaner.
Ah, yeah, listen, um..
I got this big wine
stain on my rug
and it's domestic,
so it's got to go.
My voice is not sexy.
It is not..
Sexy.
Dinner? Oh, well,
aren't we forward?
Where?
Uh, could you hold
on a moment, thanks.
What? I'm about to get a date.
Think about it, desperado.
Now, what guy do you
know that would go out
with a woman sight unseen?
The kind who lives in
his mom's basement.
Uh, Cleophus..
Cleophus?
Oh, God.
That's just Latin for ugly.
Uh, listen, about dinner? No.
Take heart, Regine.
I mean, maybe that's
the Roto‐Rooter man
and you can throw
yourself at him, alright?
Oh, let me guess.
Baby, I'm back again.
Uh, Khadijah, I was wondering,
can we go some place and talk?
Um, we'll go up on the roof.
It's kinda cold
up there, isn't it?
Well, I got a feeling
whatever we talk
is going to be a little chilly.
'Darn right.'
You got five minutes
to explain yourself.
‐ Well, I wanted
to call. ‐ Time is up!
And how could you just
leave me hanging like that?
Look, I know. I know I should've
called or written more, alright?
But dealing with the
group an‐and the press
and the time changes..
And then weeks
pass by, after a while
I just felt too
embarrassed to call.
Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
Now, you know you
could've called me
any time, day or night.
Because I like a fool sat by
that phone for three months.
Khadijah, I don't have a
good excuse for what I did.
Alright? Except
to say I'm sorry.
And you think an apology,
and this tired boomerang
are gonna make
everything better?
I am this close to hating you.
As a matter of fact, I
really don't even wanna..
Khadijah, will you marry me?
Yes.
Whoa, duck!
That is the stupidest
looking grin I've ever seen.
What have you two been doing?
Ah! You got engaged!
Oh, oh.. Khadijah's
getting married.
Right in the middle
of Regine's drought.
I love it when
life is bittersweet.
Yeah, oh, my God, you sure
are one smooth talker, huh?
Yeah, yeah, you
know, I didn't think..
I didn't think you'd
come back engaged.
In fact, I didn't
think one of you'd
come back at all.
It needs to be sized,
but isn't it beautiful?
Oh, well, I don't have my
loupe, but, oh, it has good fire
very few occlusions,
color's about a 'G' or an 'H.'
And it's almost two carats.
That's a lot of love.
Well, hey, hey,
excuse us people.
Uh, we're gonna go upstairs
and, uh, call our parents.
Well, um, you know,
there's a phone right here.
Um, not for this call.
If you're not a
burglar, come on in.
Oh, well, if it isn't
the marrying man.
Hey, fellas.
Alright, what are you doing
Saturday, February
11th at 1 p. M.?
That'd be at my standing
head shave appointment
at Snappy's Afro Hut.
I assume I'll be
attending a wedding.
‐ Yeah. ‐ Yeah.
Sounds like we both got plans.
What you got in mind, Scooter?
‐ Brew? ‐ Yeah.
February 11th is the day I
start my new life with Khadijah.
And I want both
y'all to be there.
Alright, I only got
two questions, money.
‐ 'Hmm.' ‐ Is it formal?
And why the hell are you
and Khadijah getting married?
I don't know why
you're surprised, man.
You know, Khadijah and I
were probably gonna get married
somewhere down the line.
Whoa, ho‐ho ho‐ho. "Probably?"
"Somewhere down the line?"
What are you gonna
say to the minister?
I do, I think?
Yeah, hold up, homey, 'cause
Khadijah's like family to us.
You better be a hundred
percent sure before you stand up
in front of God and
that one drunk relative
who just can't seem
to wait for the reception.
‐ You know, Uncle Scoop. ‐ Yeah.
Well, homies, I'll
tell you something.
‐ I'm not a 100
percent sure. ‐ Uh‐huh.
I'm 200 percent sure.
I'm 300 percent sure.
Hell, I'm 400 percent sure.
Okay, you are whole
hell of a lot of sure. Uh.
You know, I get the
feeling y'all don't think
this is a good idea.
What we think is
really not relevant.
Uh, but I want your opinion.
Not that I'm not rock
solid in my position.
‐ You know? ‐ 'Heh‐heh.'
Alright.
Well, I'll tell
you what I think.
I think you, uh,
you got a little lonely
out on tour.
Eh‐heh. And that you kinda
missed Khadijah. Yeah?
Mm‐hmm.
Then you come back home
and find out things
is a little shaky.
And so you made
an impulsive decision
that could lead to a
very rocky marriage.
And a sad, sad life.
Oh, I'm so excited.
A February wedding.
Oh, the snow will be
falling all around us.
You'll be able to see your
breath as you recite your vows.
Synclaire, the wedding
is gonna be inside.
Oh. That's nice if you want
everything room temperature.
Who cares where it is.
Let's focus on the priorities.
Now, I'll be the maid of honor,
since I photograph the best.
And I want to wear
something a little different.
Khadijah, you're making the
biggest mistake of your life!
Thank God, somebody said it.
Whoo, I was just about to.
Did I miss something?
Look. Khadijah, what happened?
I mean, how can you
just trust him like this?
What happened to
all that lovely hatred
that you were
developing for him?
I don't know.
I was all ready to
tell him where to go.
And then, when he proposed,
it just, it just came out yes.
Have you really
thought this thing out?
The ring turned you, didn't it?
Two carats can
be very persuasive.
Three carats and I'd
marry dang near anybody.
Alright, now, Khadijah
I've never been one to stand
in the way of the love train.
But why are you in
such a rush for this thing?
Oh, my God, you're pregnant.
Okay, it's okay.
And nobody needs to
know, but just us, okay?
Woo‐woo‐woo. Woo‐woo‐woo.
Bless you, Synclaire.
Now the townspeople
won't stone me.
Look, I'm marrying Scooter
no matter what you think.
And from what I'm
hearing, it sounds like
y'all don't even
wanna be bridesmaids.
Oh, no. I'll be there.
I mean, I'll be hugging
a champagne bottle
but I'll be there.
I'm showin' you my dress.
Yeah, I know, mom.
And I don't know
what's happening, but I..
I'll call you back.
Good afternoon.
I'm Cleophus Wade.
The carpet cleaner?
Well, w‐where's your
jumpsuit? Where's your hairnet?
I'm afraid this is
the uniform you wear
when you own the company.
You must be Miss Hunter.
Do come in.
Listen.
I wanted to come by to
give you a free estimate.
Really? After the way I
spoke to you on the phone?
Oh, what a sweet man you are.
Oh, is that Cerruti?
Uh‐huh. Miss Hunter.
I appreciate what you did for
me when you hung up in my face.
Oh..
Afterwards, I realized..
Life is too short.
So, I decided to give
my ex‐girlfriend a call
and we went out last night..
And it was just like old times.
Shopping on Fifth Avenue.
Five‐course dinner.
Afterwards, I took
the top off my Porsche
and we drove
down to Atlantic City
'for an evening of Cognac,
Blackjack and Pebo.'
God, I love that woman.
Look, anyway, look,
we, we should really
get to that wine stain, I..
I've gotta pick my
lady up in an hour.
Oh, forget about the stain.
I'm‐I'm sure I can get it out
with, um, a‐a baking soda.
Uh, baby wipes.
Tears.
Well, if you say so.
That gives me enough
time to pick her up
little something from Chanel.
Hey, why don't you
get him to get you some.
You love Chanel.
Latin for ugly?
Latin's a dead language.
Sort of like your
love life. Meep‐meep!
Uh, well, if it
isn't Mr. Scooter.
Hey, Hyman.
I'd like to introduce
you to my fiance.
‐ Khadijah. ‐ Hi.
Oh, mazel tov, woo‐hoo‐hoo.
Damp hands. Somebody's nervous.
Here, let‐let me, let
me size this for you.
Scooter tells me
you've known each
other your whole lives.
Mm‐hmm. We were first
grade kickball champs.
Ah, now. When you kick a
ball at a woman, you know her.
It's nice to see
young people having
solid relationships
and getting married.
It's‐it's good for business.
In the 70s..
All those one‐night stands
people shacking up..
Nobody bought a wedding ring.
All I could sell was the
occasional medallion.
Nowadays people
are taking the time
to get to know each other
and invest in a quality wedding.
Take a look.
Platinum, gold..
Don't ask.
I'll be right back.
So, what, what do you
think about that ring?
Umm, na.
What about these?
Na.
‐ That one? ‐ Don't ask.
Terrence, why did
you propose to me?
What?
Well, I just realized
that's one of the things
I don't know about you.
Why you proposed.
Because, uh, I
wanted to get married.
Uh, because you're
my best friend.
Because I was
afraid of losing you.
So you proposed out of fear?
That's an awfully
accurate way of putting it.
Well, that's funny.
'Cause that's exactly
why I accepted.
Really?
I didn't wanna lose you again.
Look, Scooter, we weren't
ready to be married before you left.
What makes you think
we are ready now?
I don't know.
I mean, I don't even
know if we're ready
to pick up where we left off.
Maybe we should back things up.
Can we back
things up to the point
where we were friends?
So are you breaking up with me?
I think so.
My girl.
Let me explain.
It's a little warm now
and it should feel a bit loose
but as the metal cools
it should become more
snug and be a perfect fit.
Hyman, we're not
getting married.
You let me go through
this whole explanation?
Sorry.
I'm the one who's sorry.
This is an $8000 sale.
But, since I like you..
My wife sadly didn't
make it to the bank.
Here's your down payment.
Hey, I appreciate that, Hyman.
Eh..
$8000?
I'm a good friend.
Well, lookie here, friend, I
got a little birthday coming up.
We'll be right back.
Regine, what are
you doing up here?
Don't you have a date with
some doctor in few minutes?
Yeah. But my mom set this up.
So I wanna get a
good look at this guy
before I go anywhere with him.
Yeah, she says he drives
some sort of yellow car.
Like that yellow Ferrari
that just drove up?
Ow, uh‐uh, and the license
plates says "HOT‐MD."
He's getting out.
Oh, my God.
Oh, he's perfect. He's fine.
Oh, he's mine.
Ah. Yoo‐hoo!
Be right down.
Damn! He is a good catch.
Woo‐hoo!
doing this again?
To stop unsightly laugh
lines and crow's‐feet
even before they begin.
Well, how come
you don't use 'em?
I don't need them.
Regine, how long do I
keep my feet in this thing?
Honey, I've seen the corns
you might wanna just
settle on in for the night.
‐ Hey, y'all. ‐ No!
Hey, Joe. Joe, I really
had a really good time.
I‐I would love to invite
you in but there's, uh..
Some major reconstruction
going on, I'll see you later.
Okay. What the hell?
For your information, we
are having a beauty night.
It ain't working.
Uh, be right there.
What is this guy's name?
Uh, sounds like a sandwich.
Filet‐O‐Fish?
Yeah, Synclaire. That's it.
Reuben!
Bye.
Man, that used to be us.
Dates back to back,
couldn't keep 'em straight.
Now, look at us. Manless.

And that was only because I
was visiting friends in Alabama.
And refused to
go out with anyone

Oh, well, if it isn't
the marrying man.
Hey, fellas.
Alright, what are you doing
Saturday, February
11th at 1 p. M.?
That'd be at my standing
head shave appointment
at Snappy's Afro Hut.
I assume I'll be
attending a wedding.
‐ Yeah. ‐ Yeah.
Sounds like we both got plans.
What you got in mind, Scooter?
‐ Brew? ‐ Yeah.
February 11th is the day I
start my new life with Khadijah.
And I want both
y'all to be there.
Alright, I only got
two questions, money.
‐ 'Hmm.' ‐ Is it formal?
And why the hell are you
and Khadijah getting married?
I don't know why
you're surprised, man.
You know, Khadijah and I
were probably gonna get married
somewhere down the line.
Whoa, ho‐ho ho‐ho. "Probably?"
"Somewhere down the line?"
What are you gonna
say to the minister?
I do, I think?
Yeah, hold up, homey, 'cause
Khadijah's like family to us.
You better be a hundred
percent sure before you stand up
in front of God and
that one drunk relative
who just can't seem
to wait for the reception.
‐ You know, Uncle Scoop. ‐ Yeah.
Well, homies, I'll
tell you something.
‐ I'm not a 100
percent sure. ‐ Uh‐huh.
I'm 200 percent sure.
I'm 300 percent sure.
Hell, I'm 400 percent sure.
Okay, you are whole
hell of a lot of sure. Uh.
You know, I get the
feeling y'all don't think
this is a good idea.
What we think is
really not relevant.
Uh, but I want your opinion.
Not that I'm not rock
solid in my position.
‐ You know? ‐ 'Heh‐heh.'
Alright.
Well, I'll tell
you what I think.
I think you, uh,
you got a little lonely
out on tour.
Eh‐heh. And that you kinda
missed Khadijah. Yeah?
Mm‐hmm.
Then you come back home
and find out things
is a little shaky.
And so you made
an impulsive decision
that could lead to a
very rocky marriage.
And a sad, sad life.
Oh, I'm so excited.
A February wedding.
Oh, the snow will be
falling all around us.
You'll be able to see your
breath as you recite your vows.
Synclaire, the wedding
is gonna be inside.
Oh. That's nice if you want
everything room temperature.
Who cares where it is.
Let's focus on the priorities.
Now, I'll be the maid of honor,
since I photograph the best.
And I want to wear
something a little different.
Khadijah, you're making the
biggest mistake of your life!
Thank God, somebody said it.
Whoo, I was just about to.
Did I miss something?
Look. Khadijah, what happened?
I mean, how can you
just trust him like this?
What happened to
all that lovely hatred
that you were
developing for him?
I don't know.
I was all ready to
tell him where to go.
And then, when he proposed,
it just, it just came out yes.
Have you really
thought this thing out?
The ring turned you, didn't it?
Two carats can
be very persuasive.
Three carats and I'd
marry dang near anybody.
Alright, now, Khadijah
I've never been one to stand
in the way of the love train.
But why are you in
such a rush for this thing?
Oh, my God, you're pregnant.
Okay, it's okay.
And nobody needs to
know, but just us, okay?
Woo‐woo‐woo. Woo‐woo‐woo.
Bless you, Synclaire.
Now the townspeople
won't stone me.
Look, I'm marrying Scooter
no matter what you think.
And from what I'm
hearing, it sounds like
y'all don't even
wanna be bridesmaids.
Oh, no. I'll be there.
I mean, I'll be hugging
a champagne bottle
but I'll be there.
I'm showin' you my dress.
Yeah, I know, mom.
And I don't know
what's happening, but I..
I'll call you back.
Good afternoon.
I'm Cleophus Wade.
The carpet cleaner?
Well, w‐where's your
jumpsuit? Where's your hairnet?
I'm afraid this is
the uniform you wear
when you own the company.
You must be Miss Hunter.
Do come in.
Listen.
I wanted to come by to
give you a free estimate.
Really? After the way I
spoke to you on the phone?
Oh, what a sweet man you are.
Oh, is that Cerruti?
Uh‐huh. Miss Hunter.
I appreciate what you did for
me when you hung up in my face.
Oh..
Afterwards, I realized..
Life is too short.
So, I decided to give
my ex‐girlfriend a call
and we went out last night..
And it was just like old times.
Shopping on Fifth Avenue.
Five‐course dinner.
Afterwards, I took
the top off my Porsche
and we drove
down to Atlantic City
'for an evening of Cognac,
Blackjack and Pebo.'
God, I love that woman.
Look, anyway, look,
we, we should really
get to that wine stain, I..
I've gotta pick my
lady up in an hour.
Oh, forget about the stain.
I'm‐I'm sure I can get it out
with, um, a‐a baking soda.
Uh, baby wipes.
Tears.
Well, if you say so.
That gives me enough
time to pick her up
little something from Chanel.
Hey, why don't you
get him to get you some.
You love Chanel.
Latin for ugly?
Latin's a dead language.
Sort of like your
love life. Meep‐meep!
Uh, well, if it
isn't Mr. Scooter.
Hey, Hyman.
I'd like to introduce
you to my fiance.
‐ Khadijah. ‐ Hi.
Oh, mazel tov, woo‐hoo‐hoo.
Damp hands. Somebody's nervous.
Here, let‐let me, let
me size this for you.
Scooter tells me
you've known each
other your whole lives.
Mm‐hmm. We were first
grade kickball champs.
Ah, now. When you kick a
ball at a woman, you know her.
It's nice to see
young people having
solid relationships
and getting married.
It's‐it's good for business.
In the 70s..
All those one‐night stands
people shacking up..
Nobody bought a wedding ring.
All I could sell was the
occasional medallion.
Nowadays people
are taking the time
to get to know each other
and invest in a quality wedding.
Take a look.
Platinum, gold..
Don't ask.
I'll be right back.
So, what, what do you
think about that ring?
Umm, na.
What about these?
Na.
‐ That one? ‐ Don't ask.
Terrence, why did
you propose to me?
What?
Well, I just realized
that's one of the things
I don't know about you.
Why you proposed.
Because, uh, I
wanted to get married.
Uh, because you're
my best friend.
Because I was
afraid of losing you.
So you proposed out of fear?
That's an awfully
accurate way of putting it.
Well, that's funny.
'Cause that's exactly
why I accepted.
Really?
I didn't wanna lose you again.
Look, Scooter, we weren't
ready to be married before you left.
What makes you think
we are ready now?
I don't know.
I mean, I don't even
know if we're ready
to pick up where we left off.
Maybe we should back things up.
Can we back
things up to the point
where we were friends?
So are you breaking up with me?
I think so.
My girl.
Let me explain.
It's a little warm now
and it should feel a bit loose
but as the metal cools
it should become more
snug and be a perfect fit.
Hyman, we're not
getting married.
You let me go through
this whole explanation?
Sorry.
I'm the one who's sorry.
This is an $8000 sale.
But, since I like you..
My wife sadly didn't
make it to the bank.
Here's your down payment.
Hey, I appreciate that, Hyman.
Eh..
$8000?
I'm a good friend.
Well, lookie here, friend, I
got a little birthday coming up.
We'll be right back.
Regine, what are
you doing up here?
Don't you have a date with
some doctor in few minutes?
Yeah. But my mom set this up.
So I wanna get a
good look at this guy
before I go anywhere with him.
Yeah, she says he drives
some sort of yellow car.
Like that yellow Ferrari
that just drove up?
Ow, uh‐uh, and the license
plates says "HOT‐MD."
He's getting out.
Oh, my God.
Oh, he's perfect. He's fine.
Oh, he's mine.
Ah. Yoo‐hoo!
Be right down.
Damn! He is a good catch.
Woo‐hoo!
