Martin.

Yeah, baby.

Why are you saving all these playboys

And playermagazines?

Hmm?

No, those aren't mine.

They was here when I moved in.

Uh-huh.

What do I need with some paper women

When I got a real live flesh-and-blood fantasy here?

And you're all mine, girl.

Oh, baby. That's so sweet.

I'm throwing them out.

I got more in the car.

I'm just playing.

[Knock on door]

Just playing.

Yo.

What's up, man?

Hey, hey.

What's up?

I thought we was going to play some ball.

I can't. There's an airport emergency.

All the janitors have to report.

Was there an accident?

I'll say.

People on a plane from mexico city.

They had some bad chili.

They hit an air pocket-- boom--beans everywhere.

Martin, do we sh**t hoop today,

Or are you still working on your show?

Listen to the show today.

Guess who I'm interviewing.

Keith washington.

Keith? You're interviewing keith?

Why didn't you tell me?

[Imitating her] keith, uh--

You know, you women k*ll me.

A brother sings a love song,

You think he's singing to you personally

And you call him by his first name.

We sang in church choir together.

We went out a while.

I can't believe he didn't call me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, babe.

What's "a while"?

I don't know. About three months.

Why didn't you tell me about him?

It's tacky bringing up old relationships.

Plus, it just makes the other person uncomfortable.

Who's uncomfortable?

Who's keith washington anyway--

A good-looking, rich brother that can sing.

So what?

He ain't no chubby checker.

Ain't there some stinky airplane with your name on it?

You have nothing to be jealous of.

You're my one and only. You know that.

Jealous?

Nah, if anybody's jealous, it's you.

I'm jealous?

That's right.

Of what, martin?

Of all the women I didn't tell you about.

Like who?

I'm not going to tell you, gina.

That's tacky.

You don't have to because they keep calling here.

Ow, baby.

Whatever. So will I see you at your party tonight?

You know you will.

You looking all good. You go, boy.

Never mind.

Stop by. I'm having a party

For some out-of-town clients.

Bye. Cool.

See you later.

Tell pam I said--

O.k., Cole.

Yo. Keith washington. That's some serious competition, man.

Nah, nah. I'm sure nothing happened between them.

You heard her. They only dated three months.

What y'all laughing at?

I don't know about you, but if she was my woman,

By three months, she'd have had my baby.

Hey, I'm sure they was just friends, all right?

Yeah, right.

Look, man, I don't have any girls for friends, o.k.?

Cole, you don't have any men for friends.

Hold it.

Why you always got to dog me, tommy?

Why not dog martin?

Martin has a talk show and a girlfriend.

So?

So there's no material.

You, on the other hand,

Vacuum vomit off the ceilings of airplanes,

And you live with your mama.

What are we supposed to do?

I see your point.

It's nothing personal.

O.k., O.k., You're right.

My man, give me love.

Martin, give me love.

Y'all go ahead, man.

I'm thinking about something right now.

Huh. What's up?

What up? What up? Hey! Hey!

This is sean mcdermot, the radio hermit.

Talk to me, detroit.

[Imitating male caller] whoa, sean,

I think you're a really dynamic radio engineer.

Oh, get out of here. Well, thanks, man.

Why is it your boss be dogging you all the time?

Well, um...

That's--that's because he's a stupid idiot.

What's up?

Sean?

Yeah.

[Imitating woman caller] I'm a very beautiful woman, sean.

Oh. Hmm.

And right now, I'm wearing pink lipstick...

Mmm.

White fishnet stockings...

Uh...

And pumps.

Oh, oh, wow.

So, uh,

What is it you want?

[Imitating woman] I want you to get up out of my chair, sean.

I was just checking to make sure it was working,

And it's all just fine.

Sean, you--there's places you can go for that, man.

Sean, you've been using too much paper in the men's room.

Man, I'm watching you.

What?

Did you buy those cds?

Right here.

Spread them around. I want this dump

Looking like a respected top- station.

Whoa, boss.

Is this another scam?

Is that how you got the washington interview?

O.k., So I lied about the station's ratings

And the format.

He'll never know.

One thing I know about these singers--

They're not too bright.

If somebody didn't write down their lyrics for them,

They'd be singing instrumentals.

Think about that, martin.

Are you ready for the interview, man?

Yeah. I got lots of questions for him.

Hi, I'm keith washington.

Keith, keith, keith, keith, keith, keith.

My main man.

Welcome to wzup, where we're all music all the time.

I was listening to the station,

And all I heard was talk.

Welcome to wzup,

Where we are mostly music some of the time.

Here's our all-talk and all-singing dj, martin payne.

Hey.

What's up?

Uh...

Martin, I'm going to go outside

And check on my toiletries.

Martin, it's nice to meet you.

Who you doing, man?

I mean, how you doing?

I'm doing good.

So what you want to talk about?

Why, is there something special you want to tell me?

No, not particularly.

Since you're from detroit,

I thought we'd talk about your musical roots--

Who you listened to, who you sang with,

Old girlfriends you never got over, stuff like that.

Hey, martin, you're on in .........

...

What up? What up? Whazzup?

This is the insane, profane martin paine

Kicking it with my special guest keith washington.

What up?

I'm so glad to be here.

Keith is in town to promote his album,

But I'm sure all your fans want to know--

When will you be leaving, man?

Tomorrow morning.

Maybe you better leave

Right after the show.

Those airports can get crowded.

I'll think about that.

Can we talk about my album?

Let's talk about your album.

How do you come up with the material for your songs?

I'm especially interested in three songs--

Baby, I'm back...

Begin again,

And that man will never love you the way I loved you.

Who were you talking about, keith?

Every woman that I've loved and lost.

I've never gotten over any of them.

You pretty boys are so smooth, huh?

I bet women always fall all over you brothers,

Especially women in church choirs, huh?

Why are you talking about women in church choirs?

I'm not, but since you brought it up,

Let's talk about it.

There are some sweet, wholesome girls in those church choirs.

Ever sleep with any, keith?

I don't get physically involved with any woman

Unless there's a real relationship.

How long does it take for you to develop this real relationship?

Is it month, months, /,

Two and three weeks, what?

I don't have any hard rules.

Ahh, ballpark figure.

I don't know. Two months.

So by three months, you've already--

We got to break for commercial.

We got to break for commercial.

What kind of interview is this?

I'm asking questions people want to know.

You got something to hide--something from your past?

What? No.

But you did stir up some memories.

I remember there was one fine sister in my church choir.

I mean, she had lips, hips,

And she had all of that, pal.

And I promised myself,

One day I'm going to come back for her.

Yeah, I got to find her.

Thanks.

[Jazz piano plays]

Hey, gina.

Hey.

What's up? Nice party.

Where's the beer keg?

We don't have one, cole.

No problem. I'll take care of that.

Excuse me, everybody!

I'm going for a beer run.

All right, ante up.

Cole, cole, cole, cole,

What are you doing?

It's not that kind of party.

For free?

Sorry about that. He's not too well.

You look nice. Have a nice evening, o.k.?

Hey, martin, what's up, man?

I'm just dealing with some heavy stuff right now, tommy,

But, uh, I'm cool.

Really, well, what's up, man?

I found out gina and keith

Had a serious relationship, man.

What are you talking about?

He wants her back. I think gina's going to go for it.

Look, there's nothing going on.

It's in the past. Just leave it alone.

He practically admitted gina was his love sl*ve.

I heard the show today. He didn't say that.

Shut up, tommy.

The man's got the fever.

He's practically on fire.

He admitted he was going to look gina up.

Do you know that that means?

What?

Damn it. Do I have to spell it out for you?

They're going to get married, man.

You're crazy, martin.

I'm cra--

Yes.

Look, look, look.

I'm crazy? You're right, tommy.

I'm crazy, just like mrs. Lionel richie.

I'm going to kick somebody's a*s.

I'm going to kick somebody's a*s.

I bet it is.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I bet you didn't.

Get a drink, o.k.?

Great idea. I can use a little something.

What? Martin.

What is your problem?

What's he doing here?

He's an old friend.

He called. I invited him over.

You cannot react like this with every old boyfriend.

Then watch me, gina.

Watch you?

Right now, I don't even want to know you.

Gina, come here, girl.

You have got to introduce me to keith washington.

Pam, don't get excited.

He meets hundreds of women.

But he's never met pam.

Introduce us and leave the rest to me.

O.k.

Girl, here he come.

Keith, uh, this is my best friend pam.

Oh, hi, pam. Keith.

So you're friends with gina, huh?

Are you going to shake my hand all night?

Keith, sorry, excuse me.

Girl, that went so smooth.

What?

Pass this out to some of the guests.

Go over there, way over there...

Farther.

Ugh...

Gina.

Yes?

You have great friends.

Now I know why I left detroit.

Gina, what a happening party.

I mean, everyone's getting down.

Whoa, introduce me to your famous friend here.

Um, keith. This is bob from the research department.

What's happening? All right. All right.

I have a big problem.

I had to make her introduce you to me.

What does that mean?

That means I don't know you,

And why?

Because right now your career's right about here.

You want to go here. Everyone does.

To get here, you need the hammer pants.

Hammer! Hammer!

Hammer! Hammer!

You know what I'm saying?

Hey, that was freaky, whoa.

Look at the bod on that chick.

Excuse me. Think about what I said.

Look at her, man.

She used to look at me like that.

You just have to know how to sing

And women fall all over you,

No matter what you look like.

But he's good-looking.

He's got a great voice, and he's good-looking.

And he's got a great personality.

Everybody's in love with keith.

Go ahead, laugh, pretty boy.

Laugh.

Hey, gina,

Get keith to sing something.

Please, keith. Come on.

Please, please, please.

O.k., O.k., I'll do it.

Can I have your attention?

I'd like to introduce an old friend of gina's

And a new friend of mine...

Keith washington.

Yay!

All right. Hey!

Thank you. Thank you.

Gina and I used to sing together.

We used to do a lot of great things together, too.

I can't do this alone. Would you do this with me?

What's wrong with that guy?

Oh, he is weird.

Martin is my boyfriend. Didn't he tell you?

That would make sense.

I was talking about janet from the choir

On his radio show.

He must have thought I was talking about you.

Keith!

Yeah, man.

You may have won round one,

But I'm going to go the distance, 'cause I love gina.

I'll get her back

If it takes the rest of my life.

So get used to this face, pretty boy...

'Cause it's going to haunt your every waking moment.

What? What'd you say?

Martin!

Listen, I think you guys have a lot to work out.

Hey, bob, about those hammer pants--

Martin,

Why are you making a complete fool out of yourself tonight?

I'm a fool for you.

There's nothing going on between keith and me.

He was talking about a different girl.

Well, why is he here, baby?

Martin, he's a friend.

Why are you insecure? Don't you believe me?

Because I found out you and him--he--

He saw your-- your birthmark, baby.

Does my past really matter?

Because it has nothing to do with you.

What you should be concerned about

Is you and me right now.

Just tell me one thing.

If anything did happen between you and keith,

And I don't want to know if it did

Or if it didn't,

But if it did, baby...

Baby...

Who--who was better?

You, martin. You're the best.

Yes! Ha ha!

Grandma is.

I knew it, baby.

Oh...

You go, girl.

Baby, I've got to make it up to you.

I did you so wrong.

What?
