Diary of a Mad Black Woman
(3.00 / 15 votes)March 11.
Dear diary,
my husband of 18 years...
this week is being honored
by the city of Atlanta...
as the Jacob Frienstein
Attorney of the Year.
I am so proud of him.
He has worked so hard.
I wanna swing
Swing till daylight
with you
I wanna dance
Where the beat-beat-beat
is jumping
Where the dance-dance-dances
are popping
Theirs are flowing like wine
I wanna swing
Swing till daylight with you
I wanna dance...
To look at us...
you would think
that we've got it all together.
But looks can be deceiving.
Some days are good
Then other days...
I think he doesn't care.
Dancing till daylight
Just us two
Kicking up my heels...
I never thought
I'd see this day.
I was just saying
to my wife this morning...
that if I died and came back...
that I would want
to come back as me.
No, truly it is an honor...
to receive the Jacob Frienstein
Attorney of the Year Award.
It's especially
an honor because...
He is so into appearances.
What looks one way
on the outside...
can be a totally different
matter on the inside.
There is no way...
no way...
that I could have done
any of this...
without my wonderful wife
of 18 years.
I don't know this stranger
I sit next to.
All I know is that with
every dime and every case...
he has changed.
How about l...
run us a hot bath?
I left something at the office.
I have to go.
Who is she?
When you get a job
and pay one of these bills...
then you can ask me questions.
I am still your wife.
That's cute.
Charles...
I don't want to fight.
This is your night.
Let's just enjoy it.
Tell me what I need to do,
and I will do it.
You really want to know
what you ought to do?
Get the hell out of my car.
What a way
to start our anniversary.
Tell me...why do I love
that man so much?
Maybe if I could stop
thinking about...
how good things used to be...
I might be able to find
the strength to leave.
Hi, Sarah. How are you?
Hi, Mrs. McCarter.
Hey, Mrs. McCarter.
Kalvin, how are you?
How is Joanne?
-She's doing great.
-That's great.
-You doing all right?
-I'm wonderful. Thank you.
Listen, is he in?
Because I brought him, uh...
lunch.
Actually, I'm headed that way--
No, no. Please.
Thank you, though. Thank you.
Helen.
What, um...
Um...hi.
I'm Brenda Marcos.
How do you do?
Um...we got to go.
You ready, little fella?
It was nice to meet you.
Is that her?
Don't play games with me.
Tell me, Charles.
Is that her?
Thank you.
I'll see you at home.
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
What?
-What are you doing?
-Working.
Where are you going
with my things?
Lady, look...I'm just filling in
for my cousin because he's sick.
Somebody named Charles McCarter
or something like that...
rented this truck,
told me to load it up and wait.
So that's what I'm doing.
No. Wait. Wait.
Christina?
Christina.
Christina, there--
there is a man out there
putting my things in a truck.
What is going on?
all your things this morning.
And all these clothes
are from the boutique.
I wish I had a man to do
something like this for me.
Happy anniversary.
-I have something to tell you.
-Your gift first.
Aren't you going to open it?
Charles, I have to admit...
I thought you forgot,
but I saw all the clothes...
in the closet
and...ta-da! Ha ha!
It's not exactly my taste,
but I love it.
Helen--
This one, it doesn't really
fit quite right, though.
to get some alterations--
Helen.
You see how I keep
