The Best Man Page #4

No.

What's wrong with you?

You talk too much.

See you later. Peace.

Why would you

tell him everything?

So, Q, what's up

with the guitar?

This? Just a little something

to add to the repertoire.

You know a n*gger got gifts.

The n*gger's

scatterbrained.

I had to pull

some serious strings

to get you that photography

gig at the Post.

What happened?

Don't get all bent.

You know I read your book.

I heard. So?

So you got skills, Joe.

I ain't gonna front.

You about to blow the f*** up.

Got me wanting to

be a writer and sh*t.

See, man, that's

what I'm talking about.

First it was photography. Then you

got this little music thing going.

Back in January, you wanted

to direct music videos.

Now you want

to be a writer, man.

Don't sweat none

of that sh*t, Joe.

Seriously though,

that book is like that.

I still think you might

have exaggerated

a brother's character

a little bit.

My mama not being

around ain't got sh*t

to do with how I treat

these b*tches.

How do you know

it's you I'm talking about?

Oh, come on, now. Give a

n*gger some credit, all right?

I ain't stupid.

I was a lot more focused

than that

when I was in school.

Quentin, you're still

in school, brother.

But I'm saying...

Couldn't you have embellished

a n*gger a little bit?

Ain't that that buttery sh*t

about being a writer?

You know,

rewriting history?

Tailoring sh*t to fit

your own little ideal self?

I know where you're going,

so just chill with that.

The frontal lobe, shorty?

Hey, man, ain't nothing there.

Just leave it be.

Look, all I'm saying is it

brought back some wild memories.

You know, sh*t I ain't

thought about in years.

Know what I'm saying?

Yeah, man.

Where's the book now?

Running back!

Ah.

You know what?

You play too much.

You're spilling

all your stuff.

That was a great show.

Thank you.

Can you imagine?

Look at him.

L-Boogie!

They love him

in the Big Apple.

You know they're

talking Super Bowl, right?

What are they now?

6 and 0?

He's been carrying them

all the way to the bye week.

We gotta move back here.

I got you all set up back here.

I'm gonna go get the superstar.

What you up to, man?

I'm not up to anything.

Still got your

mama's jacket on.

Will you stop, you two?

Excuse me.

Mr. Lance Sullivan?

Thank you.

Oh-ho, Harper, man! What's up?

How you feeling?

I'm all right, man,

but I am stressed.

You ought to be.

What are you doing planning a wedding

in the middle of the season?

You got Dallas next week.

I wasn't even thinking.

It's what the little lady wanted.

The little lady.

The best man is here.

I'm gonna hook you up.

I'll get you over that

broom if it kills me.

Good to see you, man.
