into the training program.

Deal?

Yeah, deal.

Yeah.

Sh*t. I'm late.

Concentrate.

I'm not playing anymore.

Not until I find out

what is going on here.

I'll tell you what's going on here.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Waymon, you're throwing us

completely off schedule.

I was half an hour late. Shoot me.

Don't tempt me.

I'm not talking about today, stupid.

I'm talking about every day.

Stupid?

Waymon, if we don't start investing

some quality time into this relationship...

...I'm afraid everything's gonna go

out of whack.

What are you talking about?

Well.

Way...

...I was figuring

that if we're engaged by Christmas...

...then we can find the most perfect

condo in the winter...

...which is the best time to shop.

And then be married by summer.

Married by summer?

Oh, honey, it's the only possible time

for me to vacation.

Look, we've only been back together

for two weeks.

I mean, don't you think

that this is just a little premature?

I think you better

get with the program, mister...

...or lose the best woman you ever had.

Diedre, wait.

Diedre, wait.

Diedre.

Well, Millicent, you go to bed

with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

And believe me, I am scratching.

Well, you cannot say

I didn't tell you so.

No, I guess I can't, Diedre.

I knew he was wrong for you

the first time I met him.

Oh, God. Sometimes I think

I'm just better off alone.

Karen, how can you say that?

Look at Waymon and me.

Our relationship is great.

When you choose a man

with your head...

...and not your heart,

you make a smarter choice.

So I may not be in love

with Waymon...

...but I know we make

a damn good team.

What about romance, passion,

sex till you can't stand up straight.

I need that.

You got that and where'd that get you?

A broken heart, a sore back,

a yeast infection.

And a stack of bills.

Speaking of sore backs.

I sure hope there's gonna be men

at this party.

Don't worry. Diedre has it covered.

Waymon is inviting some eligibles

from work.

Oh, God. I can imagine.

Excuse me?

Beggars can't be choosers.

Check, please.

Darryl, did Johnson get back

from lunch yet?

You hear me talking to you, boy?

I'm working through lunch

if you don't mind.

Working through lunch?

Man, what you looking at?

You must be on something.

Or coming off it.

I ain't on nothing and you know it.

Oh, you're on something all right.

Must be some powerful sh*t too.

- What I tell you?

- You got it, man.

Yo, yo.

- Hey.

- Well?

- Well, what?

- Well, what? Natalie.

- Don't worry about it.

- You in there.

- In where?

Forget about it. Meet me at

the Kilimanjaro tonight, midnight.

Midnight? Are you crazy?

I can't meet you at midnight.
