How Stella Got Her Groove Back Page #3

Welcome to Jamaica, ladies.

TOGETHER:

Ooh!

Respect.

Respect, child.

-You good, girl?

-l'm good.

You good? You real good?

Real good!

STELLA:

Whoo!

DELILAH :

Don't scare the white people.

-Oh. Oh!

STELLA:
What?

-This right here.

-What?

Gimme, gimme.

It's got my name all over it.

Where's the bathing suit

that goes with it?

Sit down and be glad

l'm letting it go for 50.

l got your 50.

l gotta tell you, though,

l'm glad to see you.

You look good.

STELLA:
You don't know good

from spectacular.

You look good yourself.

Yeah, l know l do.

l think l got weak blood sugar

or something.

l've been taking ginseng

and sing-sing and hop-sing...

...trying to get some pep back in my step.

It ain't working.

When was your last physical?

About a year ago.

All l know is this:

ln the morning, have your sneakers on

and be ready to run.

You must be out of your mind.

l did not come down here to exercise.

And do you think they could put

a little more Lycra in this thing?

Ooh, girl!

As your best friend for the last 22 years,

can l have this?

No.

Can l at least see a picture

of my godson?

Now, those, you can have.

Probably because they're plastic.

But ask me if l care.

STELLA:
Do you care?

-Hell, no! l look good in these.

[SINGS SOFTLY]

No.

DELILAH:

All right.

[DELILAH GROANS]

This is my favorite.

STELLA:
Mm-hmm.

DELILAH:
Mm-hmm.

This gets the circulation going.

-Going now.

-Come on.

Here we go.

l'm running, girl, like the wind.

-Come on, D, you can do it.

-l'm doing it. Look at me run.

l'm fast like a mofo. Running....

-l'll see you at breakfast.

STELLA:
D!

That was great for me.

l feel warmed up and everything.

l feel like l could just have

the whole day to myself.

Whoo! l'm bad.

l'm so bad. l'm bad. l'm so bad.

Good morning.

Are you a rapper?

No, sorry, l don't rap.

STELLA:

Lord. have mercy.

Why don't they come n

ths make and model n my age group?

Excuse me?

Are you dining alone?

-Why?

-Would you mind if l joined you?

My plate looks lighter.

Maybe l should come to your table.

Okay.

There ought to be a law against

being young and sexy.

WINSTON :

l'm sorry. What was that?

l said, whatever it is sure smells good.

l think it's my cologne.

It's new.

No, l meant the food.

Right.

STELLA:

l meant the cologne.

You're the most colorful thing

l've seen this morning.

Why? Do you have a problem with pink?

Actually, yes. l'm in therapy for it.

lt was a joke.

Are you enjoying your first morning

here in Jamaica?

-Maybe l've been here for weeks.

-Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

l would have noticed you.

S:
