The Brothers

What do you think your dreams mean, Jackson?

They're about relationships, commitments.

Do you think a commitment with a woman is death?

Yeah. Yeah, right. See, you meet somebody, right?

You guys are having a good time,

you're vibing with each other,

then love drags its ass up into it, you know?

* Time

* I still don't know the reason after all this time

What do you think women want from you?

Well, that's easy. They want money, multiple orgasms

and beautiful shoes that don't hurt like hell.

That's really sexist,

except for the part about the shoes.

* Something happens every time I get a chance

* I feel the rhythm but I just don't know the dance

* I want to move with you but something holds me back

* I'm holding back, yeah

* All I ever needed I could never find

I'll be 29 on my next birthday.

Why does that bother you?

'Cause it's one step from the big 3-0.

You see, I... I can't keep blaming

my lack of a serious relationship on being a kid anymore, you know?

I broke up with three women in the last two months,

and that... That's not too cool.

* Someone teach my heart to fall In love again

* That all I have to fear is fear itself

Maybe you should become celibate.

Put the physical behind your greater spiritual self.

Uh, yeah, sorry, Doc, but my greater spiritual self needs the booty.

* Oh, why?

* Yeah

I have an assignment for you.

I want you to get back out there and date some more.

In fact, try to meet a woman tonight.

Oh, no, I'm shooting hoops with the fellas tonight.

Then we hang. It's kinda like a weekly tradition.

Then, do it whenever.

But next time, open up your heart to her.

Try being a friend before you become a lover.

Okay. I think I can handle that.

* It must be

* Love don't love me

* Love don't love me

* Love don't love me

* No, it don't love me

Motion to suppress, denied.

Motion for evidentiary hearing, denied.

Motion for continuance, denied.

All of my motions denied, Your Honor. May I ask why?

Your affidavit wasn't based on credible facts.

This court will not tolerate that.

Motions denied.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Bitch.

What did you say?

Come on, Shawshank. Let's go.

The judge is springing you.

It's about goddamn time.

That woman is crazy.

Come on.

You're lucky you ain't working for her cranky ass.

Yes, Sheila, I am meeting the brothers after work for our game.

Yes, (STAMMERS) we are going to the club afterwards.

Now, how's my baby gonna miss me when she's gonna be asleep?

(YELLING) What if I ran the streets like some little hood rat?

I have a job, too, you know.

You shouldn't talk like that. You need Jesus.

Uh, these are your European earnings reports that just came in.

Mmm, lovely. I'll look at them tonight.

Um, is there anything else I can do for you?

No, Sandra, thank you. I'm straight.

Nothing?

No, (STAMMERS) I'm straight. Nothing at all?

I'm cool. I'm cool. Take care of yourself, okay?

Yes. Terry White.

Hey, baby.

Yeah, I'm packing up right now to get outta here.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's all set for tonight.

Hey, baby, you got nothing to worry about.

I got... Oh, shit! Baby, I gotta go.

Sandra, Sandra, please. We are in an... No!

Okay, she's gonna need to take her medicine and, uh, keep her throat warm.

Oh, thanks.

So, Doctor, would you like to meet my sister?

She's really great.

Um... Uh...

I'm kind off the market right now.

Hey! You ain't got time for me now, huh?

What? You had time to have sex with me.

Now, all of a sudden you're busy.

* Yeah, I got my bag

* That Big Brother B got my bag

* Yeah, you know we got it like that

* Yeah, come on, get my bag

See ya.

* Yeah, I got my bag

Oh! Yeah!

Yo, Derrick, I'm telling you,

I did not think you saw me on that angle.

I do what I can, baby. I do what I can.

That was luck. It won't happen again.

Y'all wanna hear some crazy shit that happened to me today?

What's up?

I'm packing up my stuff, getting ready to come out here with y'all, right?

I turn around and there's this temp standing in front of me.

I'm not gonna lie. She was banging.

This girl rushes me and jumps on my shit, man.

What? Can a brother get an application?

Oh, this nigga lying. He's lying. Hey, D,

how long you know me, baby?

I don't lie about my shit.

All right. That shit happens to me all the time.

So how was it, Terry? (LAUGHS)

I didn't do it.

Hey, what, are you AC Green now?

Hey, that ain't funny, but I'm serious, man.

I lectured her ass about compromising a brother at work,

and then I just walked away.

I'm sorry, I would have waxed that ass all over the office.

There would have been Xeroxes of my nuts on everybody's desk.

Yeah, but see, the problem is you need help, bro.

You nasty.

No, see, me and my girl, BeBe, we got something solid.

I mean, it feels real good.

So I'm gonna make a declaration right here, right now.

From this moment forward, I'm a one-woman man.

Come on, Terry, after just two months of dating?

I mean, that's gotta be some kind of record for being whipped.

Oh, wait a minute. I know you're not talking about being whipped.

Come on, Terry, we know you, man. You can't change.

I mean, what about when you was talking to the girl and her mom,

and then they both found out? I remember that.

Okay, you know what, you can laugh if you want to.

I'll admit it, I did it. But that was a long time ago.

I'm not like that anymore. You know what?

If you're changing, Terry, I'm changing, too.

It's about time. As of right now, I'm through with sisters.

Oh, here we go again.

Come on, that's a broken record. I'm serious this time, man.

I mean, you know Carla, right? The judge?

She locked me up because she's an evil, bitter, black woman.

Okay, Brian, Brian, did you forget that you had sex with her,

you dumped her and then you called her a bitch in the courtroom?

Did you forget that? So what's your damn point, man?

That maybe she had a few other reasons to do what she did.

The boy's ignorant. No.

All the sisters I deal with bring me drama.

No matter what you do, it ain't good enough for 'em.

I'm tired of the fake hair.

Oh, and excuse me, that's my baby's father. The excess weight.

It's like they're giving out government cheese sandwiches

with fake hair and babies.

Now, what does that tell you?

Man, that tells me that you're a dumb-ass, man. Wake up.

You give up on sisters, you're giving up on yourself.

Word! Hold up. Hold up.

I think Brian may have a point.

Thank you. Whoa, whoa, hey!

Come on, Jack. A woman's color doesn't matter.

It's what's inside that counts. Ah, see?

Now, did your wife tell you that before or after

she unscrewed your dick and put it in her purse?

Don't listen to him, D. Don't listen to him.

We here, Jack. No, no, no, we're not there.

I'm not going out on the sisters like you, Brian, okay?

My thing is, see, I just haven't found the right one.

Just gotta look harder, you know.

See, now I can dig that. What I'm saying, though, fellas,

let's keep it real.

We're single, black, professional men.

We're the cream of the crop, right?

And I got to keep it real for you, Brian.

We are the cream of the crop.

You the black sticky shit on the bottom of the barrel.

My point is, fellas,

that we deserve the best.

And right now, the sisters ain't up to the job.

Oh, no, no, see you're wrong. That's why when I met Sheila, I just snapped her right up.

That and she got pregnant on your ass.

That's true, D. That's true. No, no, no, no, no.

It didn't have nothing to do with that.

We were gonna get married anyway 'cause we were in love.

Love. Now there is a word you should look up in the dictionary.

It's after "ignorant" and just before "stupid," stupid.

* I'm trying to get it fun tonight

* Whoa

* Was it any fun tonight?

* Whoa

* I wanna tear it up tonight

* Whoa

We'll be at the bar.

Where's Terry? He's missing.

Probably went back to work to work on that little temp if he's smart.

No, no, he will be here. Trust me. He will be here.

Oh, damn.

Come on, B, why'd you do that?

I told you I'm done with them.

Hey, man, she looks kinda cool.
