Synopsis: Todd is at the pinnacle of his game; a great job, great friends and more women than he knows what to do with. He owns a lounge that frequents some of the finest women and talent mid-town Chicago has to offer. Unsatisfied with his level of romantic achievements, he goes on a quest to date three women at one time. He believes the laughable exhaustion of just keeping his story straight is his only penance to pay until he finds out that all three women share a common bond and the aftermath is more than he bargained for.

No, you know what?

Truthfully, I haven't

reacted enough.

You're constantly trying

to control me and put me down.

I'm not trying to control you.

And degrade me.

And manipulate me with your

little condescending ideologies.

Well, you know what?

Good luck, okay,

with your dreams, Todd.

See you at the mountaintop.

Shanice. Come on...

Shanice.

Hey, man, it's an emergency.

Why don't you answer your phone?

I was in the shower.

Go put on some damn clothes.

What?

Come on, man.

Hey, Shari, baby.

Hey, look, I'm not playing

with you girl, okay?

I'm not playing.

I didn't mean anything

about it, baby. I just...

I just felt like

you needed to know, that's all.

Baby, look, I'm a man,

so, you know,

I'm going to stink sometimes.

I mean, the point is

I can't live without you, okay?

Baby, look, you got me

on my knees over here, okay?

Come on, now.

Men don't do this.

Men don't beg like this.

Baby, look...

Baby, look, I can't be

without you, girl.

I can't. You got me over here

at my boy's crib

crying like I'm in some kind

of soap opera.

Hey, you want a little Lenny?

I'll Lenny for you.

Yeah, baby, I'll Lenny for you.

You know I'll Lenny for you,

baby, anytime.

I love you, girl

I love you

I don't care how much you beg!

I will never come back to you,

and you're going to miss me

before I miss you!

You know what? I was getting

tired of her butt anyway.

What happened?

Oh, man, things were going

so good, man.

They were going.

The loving was great.

She cooks, she cleans.

Do you have any idea

how hard it is

to find a good woman who will

do a brother's crusty feet?

I haven't found one.

She just had one little thing

that bothered me, man.

Just one little thing.

What?

Look, if I tell you this

you got to promise

not to wear me out about it.

I promise, man.

What's up?

It's embarrassing, man.

You know, sometimes

she had a little odor.

What kind of odor?

Well, you know,

it was like a female odor.

She stinks?

Sometimes, you know? But usually

I can put up with it.

Oh, man. Today, man,

she just had a tail of funk

just dragging behind her.

Oh, my gosh, man.

Have you ever smelled

something so bad

that it literally hurts you

to smell it?

No, I'm serious.

Like, it physically hurt.

Like you were trapped

in some kind

of Korean military torture

chamber or something.

Just...

Good grief, man.

I couldn't take it.

I had to say something, man.

Oh, J, you didn't say something.

Well, the hell I did, man.

I couldn't suffer anymore.

No, J, you can never

say something to a woman

about something she can't change

or won't change.

Her hair, her skin, her weight.

Her funk?

I can't tell her she stink?
