BERNADINE:

A white woman is probably the onIy one

who'll tolerate your smug ass!

yeah, I was your white woman

for 11 years!

couldn't have started

that damn company without me!

Hell, I worked my ass off.

I mean, I got a master's degree

in business...

...and there I was his secretary,

his office manager and his computer!

"No, Bernadine, you can't start

your catering business this year.

Why don't you wait a few years, huh?

Don't start it right now.

Wait one, two, three years...

...I need you to be the f***ing

background to my foreground!"

[SOBBING]

Seven thirty-two! Seven thirty-two!

The number of times we made love!

I remember when that bastard told me

he was counting!

Right after 51!

I'll show you!

F*** me for not leaving your ass then!

But the worst,

oh, the f***ing worst...

...was sending my kids to school

with only two other black kids...

...become you don't want them

to be improperly influenced!

Well, guess what...

...you're the motherfucking

improper influence!

Get your sh*t-- Get your sh*t and get out!

[DOORBELL CHIMING]

Ma'am...

...were you aware

that your car was on fire?

Yes.

Did you start this fire, ma'am?

It's against the Iaw to burn anything

except trash in your own yard.

It is trash.

This is a nice area.

Luckily, a neighbor cared enough.

The next time

you wanna burn something....

It won't happen again.

Michael and I work

for the same company.

He's just been promoted

onto my marketing team.

Michael was no Russell.

I mean, he's not pretty,

but he is available.

Oh....

[MICHAEL CHUCKING]

A Kodak moment.

ROBIN:

Michael had to be about a 38D.

My brain was saying, "Put your hands

anywhere else but on my body.

Then go home. And don't come back,

you human submarine sandwich."

But you can't say that without

hurting his feelings.

Go, Robin. Go, Robin.

come here, baby.

You feel even better

than I thought you would.

come here.

- I got you.

- You got me?

- I got you.

- Whoa!

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- I'm sorry, baby.

- It's okay.

Hey.

[MICHAEL CHUCKLING]

Yeah. All right. All right.
