with extra fortune cookies.

He gets the same thing

all of the time.

Bo...ring.

Can we offer

you ladies anything?

No, thank you.

l'm not hungry.

Oh, hell.

Why don't l just take half

of Malcolm's food anyway?

Note that.

Look, Counselor,

Renee has been with Malcolm...

since the very beginning

of King Enterprises...

and deserves a half a share

of the company.

-What?

-Hell, l deserve all of it.

-You said so yourself.

-When?

Find that little thing.

Please.

Ah, here is it.

''My dearest Renee...

''everything l have built,

l built for you.

''Love always, Malcolm.''

Ooh. Poetry.

lt's a greeting card, man.

l was drunk when l wrote it...

and she was butt-naked

on the floor. What?

We are seeking

the primary residence...

as well as

one of the vacation homes.

l've already gone ahead and

had the lake house appraised.

The details are inside.

Now, as far as

preliminary meetings go...

it wasn't so bad.

l need that money, Anita.

This hair does not grow

on trees.

Hello?

Hi. Hi, Mrs. King.

Looks like we're gonna have

to do this the hard way.

You know, l'm just gonna

call you Renee.

No, you won't.

What?

Well, this is disastrous.

What's wrong?

Another divorce case that l've

been working on for months...

but my client

neglected to tell me...

that she has been having

an affair.

Mm-hmm.

And guess what?

The judge found out.

l sure hope

the sex was worth it...

because she just cost

herself millions.

Ooh.

So, you just gonna let them

waltz outta here like that, huh?

l can't make them

take our offer, Malcolm.

Listen--listen to me.

There is a very real chance...

Renee could walk out of this

with half of King Enterprises.

That--that valentine

was brilliant, man.

David. David!

l will handle it myself.

Malcolm, l know that look.

l know that--

Do not do anything crazy.

Do not.

Thanks for nothing, David.

See yourself out.

Malcolm.

Malcolm.

Malcolm!

One, two, three, shoot.

Sorry.

-Oh.

-Oh, thank you.

-Andre, right?

-Yeah.

Oh, good.

l need to ask you a favor.

Whassup, whassup, whassup?

Oh, well, oh...

l was hoping you could wax this

real good for me...

and try not

to leave any scratches.

Hey, well, you know,

whatever you're into, baby.

So, you're gonna hook me up?

Hell, yes.

Oh! Ha ha ha!

You're so sweet.

Um, l'll call and set up

a time with you later.

And don't worry.

l'll definitely

make it worth your while.

Oh. Mwah.

Thank you.

Hee hee hee hee!

Keys, keys.

Oh!

l forgot.

Yo!

-Oh, Andre?

-Yes.

Are my stripes crooked?

9:
15.

Oh! Thank you.

Whoo! Ha ha ha ha!

Somebody park the car.

Good morning, Miss Gladys.

Good morning.

Oh, you made the front page.

What?
