have some fun.

- I have one.

- Who, Diedre? I thought that was over.

Yeah, well...

...we decided to give it another try.

She must be a champ

between the sheets.

Hang tough, Mitch. Wow.

You know, his mistake was buying

all of that property up in Harlem.

I tried to tell him that

gentrification sh*t was just a pipe dream.

I mean, even Waymon wouldn't

be caught dead in that wasteland.

Isn't that right, Waymon?

Hey, don't be stupid.

Waymon probably grew up there, right?

I don't think Waymon's

ever even been to Harlem.

You ever been to Harlem, Waymon?

You...

I gotta get back to work.

You guys take it easy.

See you.

What the hell are you doing here?

- Me?

- You.

I don't see

anyone else here stealing.

- What you talking about, stealing?

- I'm talking about these.

Don't you know I have to account

for every piece of paper...

...every envelope,

every damn paper clip in here?

It's my responsibility

to see that thieves like you...

...don't nickel-and-dime this place

out of business.

I wouldn't be bragging on no sh*t

if I were you.

Mother... What? That's it. You're fired.

You're finished. Get out.

What's going on in here?

Uh, nothing for you to concern

yourself with, Mr. Tinsdale.

Well, I am concerned.

I caught him red-handed,

stealing company property.

What property?

These.

- These are mine.

- Yours?

- What?

- They're mine.

Well, actually,

a client of mine's.

Bobby was doing me a favor,

weren't you?

Yeah, yeah. I thought you had

cleared that with Mr. Taylor.

Yeah, I don't appreciate that, man.

You almost got me fired.

I'm down here trying to do business for you.

You know what I'm saying?

You got me in a limbo.

You put my sh*t in jeopardy.

I said, I was sorry. Drop it.

I apologize, Monroe.

This won't happen again.

I am not taking the fall

for any shady goings-on.

Good night.

So, what brings you down here?

Slumming or what?

Bobby, this girl on the flyer,

you know her?

Yeah, I know her. So, what about it?

Well, she was in this restaurant,

I was having lunch...

...and she dropped this photograph.

And I'd like to return it.

This about Natalie?

This should be about the way

you dissed me.

Come on, Bobby,

I made a mistake in judgment, okay?

I'm sorry.

I was wrong not to at least listen.

Yeah, okay. But I'm gonna tell you now.

She ain't gonna be interested

in no square, blockheaded nigga like you.

Later.

Bobby.

Just tell me where to find her.

Yeah, keep dreaming.

Besides, what's in it for me?

- A promotion.

- I heard that before.

Not from a partner, you haven't.

Partner?

You introduce me to Natalie...

...and start dressing like

you're going to work and not to a party...

...and I'll put you
