The Best Man
It's what you want, boy
It's what you need, babe
We got to give you more
Of what you really want
It's a secret that's
been Pent up inside for years
Exclusive type
Only for your eyes and ears
You held it in for so long
You burstin' into tears
The letters spill slowly across
the page like a world premier
Well, all right, the bullshit
begins here
The obvious cause
the effects is unclear
The punishment for crimes of
Though to keep it on the low
You deep now, submerged
With no signs of air
Still your sunken heart Thumpin'
like the kick in the snare
When on the surface
It's all turnin' to a circus
That's why you're nervous
And you got a right to be
It's what you want, boy
It's what you need, babe
We got to give you more
- Thanks a lot, man.
- You bet.
- Cool. Take care.
- You, too.
Harp,

Robin, baby,
I got some good news.
Try this.
Tell me what you think.
Come on, girl.
You know...
cranberry-orange-mango chutney.
Damn, that's good.
Yeah, man, 'tis good.
Thanks for letting
me use your kitchen.
That's cool.
I almost died
when my stove broke.
No problem, baby.
But then I remembered what
Uh-huh.
Sorry about the mess.
I have three jobs
going on at once here.
It's so crazy.
So I see.
So, hey!
What's the news?
What's the dealio?
Oh! Uh...
book, Unfinished Business,
for her January
Book of the Month Club show.
Harper, you're kidding.
Uh-uh, I ain't kidding.
Oh, my God!
Your first novel?
I was a little nervous
when I heard
that she wanted
to read a preview copy.
But she read it and loved it.
When's the release date?
We go into print next month.
Oh. baby!
"m $0 happy for you.
I'm so happy for you!
That is so great.
So great.
I'm on my way, girl.
The callaloo.
I missed you.
Hmm.
I'm so glad you
decided to come back
to town before
heading to New York.
Mmm. Yeah. Me, too, baby.
Oh, did I tell you about the
20-city book tour I got going?
I'm psyched. I gotta make sure
my shit's on point, though.
Harper, come on.
"Harper, come on,"
what?
You never
live enough for today.
For once,
just enjoy the moment.
Robin,
I got to stay focused.
All work and no play
makes Harper a very dull boy.
Yeah, whatever, man.
"Yeah, whatever, man."
You're not feeling me, huh?
I felt you
getting your freak on
That's what I felt.
Only with you.
That's what
I like to hear.
Oh, girl.
I could be like this
with you forever, Harper.
Hmm-mmm.
What?
Relax.
All I mean is that
I love being with you.
You said yourself that I was the
best girlfriend you ever had.
You've never been with
somebody this long
or had this much fun.
Face it. We fit together.
Yeah, but...
You love me, don't you?
Of course I do,
but it's not that simple.
It is to me.
Wow.
Dead silence.
Nice. Excuse me.
What's "Excuse me"? Wait.
No.
I think I'll get some sleep.
Wait, Robin.
Honey, about last night.
I didn't...
Harper, it's okay.
I know you love me.
I do, you know.
I'm not insecure.
I just have doubts sometimes.
About what?
Like this wedding reunion
with your friends.
I don't know
Oh, baby!
They are gonna love you.
Don't worry. They are gonna love you.
You'll be fine.
Really?
Yes, really.
Even Kendall?
I can't believe
that you're jealous
of a character
that I wrote in my book.
Not just a character.
An icon. An ideal.
Your soul mate.
