Film Transcript
Yo, the letter M has been haunting me, and these balloons, they like common sand fonts. God awful. And where did you get them from?
A low rent Amazon.
Yeah, I can't calm my nerves. I'm so excited for tonight.
That's understandable, because what you're about to do is a terrible idea.
Hold up. What?
Look, I love you and Natalie together, but marriage isn't for everyone.
Marriage. High key. It actually slays. Okay. We just got back from our honeymoon. We went to Thailand. It's so nice and it's like super affordable.
Affordable, huh?
It's so nice. Mhm. Wow. Thailand. That's really amazing. Thanks.
All right. Well, have to see, marriage is the final frontier. It's what people do when they're in love.
Not if you're disabled.
What's that supposed to mean?
You lose your insurance. You lose your waivers. You lose your lifelines. It's a system, man. Robin and I tried for a year. We really tried. And after that year, she became my PCA. And instead of tapping her ass, she was wiping that ass. My ass.
So, you're just telling me to give up on my love with Natalie?
No, I'm not trying to destroy your love. I'm trying to save your love.
You save my love? Okay. Yeah. Thanks for your help, bro. Man, what am I going to do with all these shitty ass balloons?
Hey, baby.
Damn baby, you back early. I was going to surprise you with dinner, but looks like you got me pee.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I just... I just need a minute.
No. Uh-uh. Come on over here and talk to me, baby. Like, you know, if you're scared, you can just say you're scared.
Me being scared? Nah, it's complicated.
Complicated like cold feet? Complicated or complicated?
Like you got another family in Ohio.
Oh, whoa.
What if I tell you I had some bad news?
Okay.
Yeah. Robert opened up to me about his marriage with Robin, and he told me that when he became married they basically took away most of his benefits.
Yeah.
You know, SSI, Medicare, attendant care. I mean, things that make us functional.
Like R.J., you know, I'm not with you because life is easy. I mean, yeah, that single life is pretty glamorous.
Oh yeah.
So you thinking dating apps and me sitting on the phone all night with Kyle talking about krypto. Oh, the dream.
R.J., you know I'm with you because it's you. The warmth that I feel when I'm around you. All we do is sit up and crack on each other. When my brother died, you never left my side. After my injury, you held it down for me throughout the years. I was just trying to figure out my new life.
Well, you know, if they make it hard, we just going to fight harder. You know, back in the day when we couldn't get married, our ancestors, they just used to jump the broom.
Soul tie. Honestly, I think that's something that we can do.
Okay, girl. Yeah, let's do that. Soul tie. Let's do it. But first, I need that ring.
Baby got me all in my feelings. Baby say I got no feelings. I only get emotion for millions. That's a damn lie 'cause I'm feeling you. Baby, tell me what you love like. I only been in love twice. Only been in love twice. Once to my mama. To my mama. And once you. Baby tell me where your heart is. Baby, tell me who the heart is. Baby, tell me that you love me. Say the same thing.
I want to raise a ball, 'cause if we had talk, I want to raise a young prince. If you want to be an artist, I don't really care though. Whatever God give us, I'm dead though. It was straight being single. Yeah. Then we make a better pedal. I put your mama on a pedestal. You put my mama on a pedestal. Anything better. Grandma cooking unforgettable. About to hit me like in edible. I take her down a like. I don't want to ball and go 'cause you're the really thoo.
