Look, Kalvin and I went to the owners
of one of the restaurants we deliver for.

he'll take our trucks.

01:03:33,852 --> 01:03:35,855
Sure. Okay.
1232
01:03:38,732 --> 01:03:41,702
- Well, thank you.
- Sorry, Mr. Prescott.
1233
01:04:02,380 --> 01:04:04,303
Robert. Robert!
1234
01:04:05,091 --> 01:04:06,513
Wait, Robert!
1235
01:04:10,347 --> 01:04:12,060
There's no way I can take that deal.
1236
01:04:12,140 --> 01:04:14,143
- It's a lot of money...
- Not for him.
1237
01:04:15,643 --> 01:04:16,861
This is my life.
1238
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:21,658
What did I do?
1239
01:04:24,819 --> 01:04:25,866
I'm sorry.
1240
01:04:26,654 --> 01:04:29,157
Robert, I'm sorry,
especially about the wallet.
1241
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:30,787
Robert. Robert.
1242
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:50,808
Look, first let me just say this.
1243
01:04:51,888 --> 01:04:54,937
I did not do anything with Diana.
1244
01:04:56,017 --> 01:04:58,020
I found out that she worked at Prescott,
1245
01:04:58,103 --> 01:05:01,281
and we went out for coffee
to talk business, and that was it.
1246
01:05:01,940 --> 01:05:03,778
And she got into the truck because her daddy
1247
01:05:03,858 --> 01:05:05,701
was some kind of driver
or something like that.
1248
01:05:06,277 --> 01:05:08,700
And her... Her wallet fell out of her purse.
1249
01:05:08,780 --> 01:05:11,158
Look, listen, I know it makes no damn sense,
1250
01:05:11,241 --> 01:05:12,834
but it's the truth.
1251
01:05:19,332 --> 01:05:21,380
And the reason why
I didn't make the deliveries
1252
01:05:22,001 --> 01:05:24,299
because Prescott called me, baby,
1253
01:05:25,922 --> 01:05:27,595
to see the battery.
1254
01:05:28,716 --> 01:05:31,140
They offered me $800,000.
1255
01:05:31,886 --> 01:05:34,184
And he was ready to write that check today.
1256
01:05:34,264 --> 01:05:36,938
And I'm sure if I had a prototype,
it would have been a lot more.
1257
01:05:38,268 --> 01:05:41,022
$800,000 today?
1258
01:05:42,063 --> 01:05:43,940
- Yeah.
- KALVIN: You need to take the money.
1259

Look, I can't.
1260
01:05:45,358 --> 01:05:47,486
There is no damn money. He lying.
1261
01:05:49,362 --> 01:05:50,363
Baby...
1262
01:05:53,491 --> 01:05:56,081
- Can we talk by ourselves?
- Sure.
1263
01:05:56,161 --> 01:05:57,288
Sure.
1264
01:05:58,788 --> 01:06:00,882
Just let me understand this.
1265
01:06:03,501 --> 01:06:07,506
Some random bitch
that I caught you with before
1266
01:06:08,173 --> 01:06:10,642
just happens to be in your truck
1267
01:06:11,551 --> 01:06:13,303
and leaves her wallet?
1268
01:06:15,054 --> 01:06:18,354
This house is getting foreclosed on.
1269
01:06:20,310 --> 01:06:24,531
And you turned down an $800,000 check
1270
01:06:24,772 --> 01:06:26,319
that Mr. Prescott
1271
01:06:27,609 --> 01:06:29,486
was gonna write you today?
1272
01:06:31,154 --> 01:06:33,326
Is this the bullshit you selling me?
1273
01:06:33,406 --> 01:06:34,577
Baby, this is not bullshit.
1274
01:06:34,657 --> 01:06:35,995
Then call him and take the offer.
1275
01:06:36,075 --> 01:06:37,122
It's not a good offer.
1276
01:06:37,994 --> 01:06:40,708
- It's not a good offer, baby.
- "It's not a good offer."
1277
01:06:40,788 --> 01:06:43,007
So I just lose my mother's house?
1278
01:06:45,418 --> 01:06:47,421
Baby, I'll buy you a bigger house.
1279
01:06:47,504 --> 01:06:49,097
As a matter of fact,
1280
01:06:49,797 --> 01:06:54,678
we're gonna live in a high-rise building
overlooking the city.
1281
01:06:54,761 --> 01:06:56,764
And that diamond...

I'm gonna get you.

We're gonna make it, baby.

This is it.
1286

No, we're not.

No, we're not gonna make it.

You had a good woman.

I would do anything for you.

You're a motherfucking loser.

Don't talk to me like that, baby, please.

I'm done with you. I'm done.

I need you to get your shit while you can,
and I need you to get out.

Please.

You're really gonna do this?

Why don't you go find that bitch
and let her take you in?
1304
01:08:11,004 --> 01:08:12,256
- Get out.
- Mel.

Get out!

Come on, man. You should leave.
1307
01:08:20,513 --> 01:08:21,856
I'm not leaving.

You know me.

You know I can be the motherfucking devil.

MELINDA: Three months later,
I lost my mama's house.
1311
01:09:31,417 --> 01:09:34,091
You know, that bastard didn't
even call to see if I was okay.
1312
01:09:35,630 --> 01:09:37,303
He didn't even bother.
1313
01:09:37,507 --> 01:09:39,100
He was done with me.
1314
01:09:41,302 --> 01:09:43,179
He had gotten all he could.
1315
01:09:44,472 --> 01:09:47,066
I guess he was off looking
for his next victim.
1316
01:09:47,850 --> 01:09:49,897
Not caring that I was devastated.
1317
01:09:49,977 --> 01:09:53,026
I can't believe I let that son of a bitch...

[BLUES MUSIC PLAYING]
1320
01:10:12,417 --> 01:10:14,044
I was humiliated.
1321
01:10:14,502 --> 01:10:16,345
I had to move in with my sister.
1322
01:10:19,257 --> 01:10:22,597
At this age, living with my sister?
1323
01:10:22,677 --> 01:10:25,431
All I needed was a bunch of damn cats.

MELINDA: I had wasted
too many years with Robert.
1327
01:11:04,385 --> 01:11:07,389
Too many years feeling lonely
whenever he was around.
1328
01:11:08,306 --> 01:11:10,934
Thought it was time for me to move on,
and so did Brenda.
1329
01:11:11,726 --> 01:11:15,026
So she wasted no time trying to
get me hooked up with Devon.
1330
01:11:15,480 --> 01:11:17,733
She heard that he was divorced.
1331
01:11:17,815 --> 01:11:22,696
So, much to my disapproval,
she called him up and we went out.
1332
01:11:23,988 --> 01:11:27,993
My divorce wasn't even final,
but what the hell?
1333
01:11:30,912 --> 01:11:32,880
So there I was, out with a man.
1334
01:11:33,372 --> 01:11:35,211
A man that could pay the check
1335
01:11:35,291 --> 01:11:37,919
and who commanded attention
when he walked into the room.
1336
01:11:38,002 --> 01:11:39,299
All eyes on him.
1337
01:11:40,171 --> 01:11:42,469
And yet, it felt strange.
1338
01:11:42,673 --> 01:11:45,176
It felt foreign. It felt wrong.
1339
01:11:45,259 --> 01:11:47,387
It... It was like I was starting over
1340
01:11:47,470 --> 01:11:50,690
and learning how things
were really supposed to be.
1341
01:11:51,641 --> 01:11:54,645
And I thought about Robert from time to time.
1342
01:11:54,727 --> 01:11:57,400
Sometimes with sympathy
but mostly with anger.
1343
01:11:57,480 --> 01:12:00,029
Especially when I looked up and saw his ass.
1344
01:12:00,942 --> 01:12:04,117
There he was in the damn kitchen,
washing dishes.
1345
01:12:04,946 --> 01:12:09,201
All that money I wasted helping him,
and his ass is in the damn kitchen?

And that's with him
paying me back every dime,
1350
01:12:22,755 --> 01:12:25,429
and then half of all
the bills for all those years.
1351
01:12:26,133 --> 01:12:29,683
Looks like his ass will be washing
a lot of dishes to pay me back.

and I'm just... [SIGHS]

01:16:09,648 --> 01:16:10,820
I'm coming to get you.
1405
01:16:10,900 --> 01:16:11,867
No, Diana.
1406
01:16:19,492 --> 01:16:20,994
You okay, baby?
1407
01:16:21,077 --> 01:16:22,169
She is fine.
1408

More champagne?
1409
01:16:25,748 --> 01:16:27,967
She's celebrating her divorce.

[CHUCKLES]
1411
01:16:30,503 --> 01:16:32,380
But my favorite part
1412
01:16:33,005 --> 01:16:36,134
is when that bastard said
how much he loved her.
1413
01:16:37,051 --> 01:16:38,769
I almost threw up.
1414
01:16:41,222 --> 01:16:43,225
You know, I never thought
he was lying to you, Mel.
1415
01:16:43,307 --> 01:16:44,854
I always believed he loved you.
1416
01:16:44,934 --> 01:16:46,857
BRENDA: You would, but she didn't.
1417
01:16:47,770 --> 01:16:49,316
MELINDA: I did believe him.
1418
01:16:49,396 --> 01:16:51,239
I even felt sorry for him.
1419
01:16:51,774 --> 01:16:53,821
What is that about us as women?
1420
01:16:53,901 --> 01:16:56,825
Why do we feel bad
when we didn't do shit, huh?
1421
01:16:57,446 --> 01:16:59,699
And yet, there I was feeling bad about him,
1422
01:16:59,782 --> 01:17:01,954
feeling sad that he never made it.
1423
01:17:02,034 --> 01:17:03,456
That he was a dishwasher.
1424
01:17:03,828 --> 01:17:05,375
Why the hell should I care?
1425
01:17:06,247 --> 01:17:07,794
So you know what I did?
1426
01:17:08,541 --> 01:17:11,545
I got that tall, sexy thing
standing over there
1427
01:17:11,627 --> 01:17:13,299
to take my mind off it.
1428
01:17:13,379 --> 01:17:14,925
Can we go back to your place?
1429
01:17:15,005 --> 01:17:16,382
- Now?
- Yeah.
1430
01:17:17,007 --> 01:17:17,845
So sorry.

- Go on, Devon. It was nice to see you.

01:17:20,261 --> 01:17:22,059
- Get home safe.
- Brenda.

01:17:30,187 --> 01:17:31,985
This will do you good.

01:17:36,861 --> 01:17:37,703
Sure.

you were in a shelter.

Robert, I know you're upset
that you lost your wife,
1441

but listen to me.

It's okay.

Sometimes things just happen, you know?
1444
01:18:07,516 --> 01:18:09,610
I'm a firm believer that when
1445
01:18:10,352 --> 01:18:12,229
someone falls out of your life maybe...
1446
01:18:13,397 --> 01:18:14,990
Maybe they're supposed to.

Maybe they're not supposed to share
the level that you're going to.

Maybe you're supposed to leave them behind.

You're a good man, Robert. You are.

but he wasn't Robert.

Robert mastered my body.
1455
01:18:56,106 --> 01:18:57,069
He knew my curves.
1456
01:18:57,149 --> 01:18:59,743
He knew how I liked it slightly to the left.
1457
01:19:00,569 --> 01:19:02,788
Robert would at least try to hold me.
1458
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,327
And the thought of him
being with another woman

I mean, both of you are
some miserable bitches.

Neither one of you are happy
with these bastards,

- No, no.

has a baby in Ellenwood.

what they say about you.
