The Best Man Page #2

You read my book?

No.

How did you get

ahold of my book?

I don't have your book,

Harper. Jordan does.

Jordan has my book?

All right, camera two, I need

a close-up on Dr. Gayle.

Zoom in slowly, slowly.

All right, great.

Hold it right there.

Camera one, stand by

for audience reaction.

Give me audience reaction,

camera one.

Jordan Armstrong.

She's already running

things, ain't she?

You should not be surprised.

She's the only one

more driven than you are.

That's all right.

When's the last time

you saw Jordan?

Oh, last March,

actually.

We didn't really

have much time to hang,

though, 'cause

she had a deadline.

And I had to move...

What, n*gger?

You, my brother,

are withholding information.

Here we go.

You and Jordan got busy

in undergrad, didn't you?

No, we didn't.

What about the book? What about the book?

Jackson and Kendall.

That's you two.

I know it!

They picked the prime opportunity

to make grass sandwiches.

"A passionate night

of lovemaking so intense..."

I know my words.

Embellishment sells books.

Oh, so,

then what really happened?

Nothing.

You are lying!

I know it.

Out with it.

What?

Tell me. Tell me.

Nothing.

All right, it was

senior year during finals.

The year-end issue was

off to the printer

and the staff had left

for the night.

We both had studying to do,

but we were mad tired.

Only Stevie Wonder was

gonna help us that night.

Doo-doo-doo-do

Mmm-mmm

Doo-doo-doo-do

Mmm-mmm

As around the sun the earth

knows she's revolving

And the rosebuds know

to bloom in early May

Just as hate knows love's the cure,

you can rest your mind assured

That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns

the stars down in the sky

Always Until the ocean

covers every mountain high

Always

Until the dolphin flies

and parrots live at sea

Always

Until we dream of life

and life becomes a dream

Did you know that true love

asks for nothin'

Her acceptance

Is the way we pay

Did you know that life

has given love a guarantee

To last through forever

and another day

Just as time knew to move on

since the beginning

And the seasons know exactly

when to change

Just as kindness knows no shame,

know through all your joy and pain

That I'll be loving you always

As today I know I'm living

but tomorrow...

And you didn't tell any of us?

There really wasn't

much to tell, really.

And, you know,

you can't keep a secret.

What? What do you mean

I can't keep a secret?

Were you supposed to tell me

that you had my book? Or...

Just finish the story.

Until the earth just

for the sun denies itself

I'll be loving you forever

Until dear mother nature

says her work is through

Until the day that you are me
