SHOW ME THE MONEY

Are you ready to start the meeting. (Danielle)
Yes, everyone that needs to be here is here. (Tariq)
Good, I hope you don't mind but I asked Elaine to join us. (Danielle
We don't mind.  Can I get you anything before we get started? (Tariq)
I could use a small table to work on. (Danielle)

I asked Tariq to get us a little table to work on. (Danielle)
Good idea. (Elaine)
I hope this table is good enough. (Tariq to himself)
Let Mommy sit with you baby. (Tara to Justine)
Here you go Juanita. (Justin)
Thanks Justin. (Juanita)
 

I believe you all know Elaine? (Danielle)
Hello (everyone)
Because she is your accountant I asked her to help me retrieve your missing money. (Danielle)
 

As you can see from the paper work I just handed out everything was filed timely and correctly.
However after reviewing the paper work with Elaine,
We found I mistakenly transposed the last two digits of the foundations bank account number.
Your money has been sitting in an unclaimed funds account at the bank. (Danielle)

 

Elaine and I took it upon ourselves to claim the funds and deliver them to you all in person.
You will find a total of 50 thousand dollars in this briefcase.
We both understand that if the money had posted correctly you would have earned interest totaling a little over 2 thousand dollars. We are working with the bank to ensure that you receive that as well. (Danielle)
 

Does anyone have any questions. (Danielle)
No! (EVERYONE)
Are you sure? (Danielle)
(Silence)
I know the loss of this money caused you to cancel this years camp out and I am truly sorry about that.
Please know I believe in The Grace Grove foundation whole heartedly and I will do anything to insure its continued success. Please don't hesitate to call me should you have any questions. (Danielle)
 

Thank you both so much for finding our money! (Tara)
We were just doing our job. (Elaine, Danielle)
Will you be practicing law again? (Tara)
I will be taking the steps to have my license renewed right after we leave here. Danielle)
Good, cause we need you. (Tara)
Thank you I needed to hear that. (Danielle)

Can you believe it, I thought this money was gone forever. (Tariq)
What are you going to do with it. (Justin)
I'm going to the bank first thing in the morning. (Tariq)
I'm sure the bank manager will be happy to see you. (Justin)

ten minutes later.........

I know that look, whats wrong? (Tariq)
You don't think this was all a little too easy. (Juanita)
No, I wanted my money. I got my money. End of story. (Tariq)
Come on Tariq you are not that easy...... are you? (Juanita)

Here you go Rico. (Justine)
(lick, lick) (Rico)
Do you like that? (Justine)
(lick, lick) (Rico)
HEE HEE HEE (Justine)

Across town at Elaine's office..........

Are you okay? (Elaine)
No, I just gave my life savings away! (Danielle)
Well yea, but you'll get it back. (Elaine)
I don't know Elaine, Marcus is obviously slicker then oil.
He isn't going to give the money back without a fight. (Danielle)

You did the right thing trust me. (Elaine)
I know. If I had my head on my work instead of my heart this wouldn't have happened. (Danielle)
Do you want to tell me about him? (Elaine)
I did, he's SLICK! (Danielle)
I'm sure there's more to it then that Danielle. (Elaine)

Excuse me I'm looking for E...... (Marcus Rutledge)
Where's my money you SLIMY SNAKE! (Danielle lunges for Marcus)
Danielle don't! (Elaine grabs)
What the heck is wrong with you woman! (Marcus) 

Danielle you are being very unprofessional right now! (Elaine whispers)
He stole my money! (Danielle whispers)
If you cant control yourself I will be forced to conduct this meeting without you. (Elaine whispers)
Oh I ain't leaving. I'm keeping all four of my eyes on him for now on. (Danielle whispers)

I'm sorry about that Mr. Rutledge please take a seat. (Elaine)
I see your still a wild cat Danny. (Marcus)
I'm glad you remember. (Danielle)
It's more attractive behind closed doors. (Marcus)
Whatever! (Danielle)

Mr Rutledge I understand you did piece work for Ms. Loren,
 whenever she was indisposed. (Elaine)
If you mean whenever she was serving time for contempt of court.
Then yes many times why do you ask? (Marcus)
Well Ms Loren left some documents that needed to be filed on behalf of Graces
Grove foundation. She states she gave the paper work to you on July 9. (Elaine)

 

If Danny asked me to file some papers I filed them. (Marcus)
I know you did I have copies of them right here. (Elaine)
Then whats with all the questions. (Marcus)
When we compared the copies you filed with Ms Loren's originals
the account number for the deposit is different. (Elaine)


 

Let me see that. (Marcus)
I thought you cared about me. I can't believe you would steal from me? (Danielle)
I don't remember filing these and I certainly didn't make any changes to them. (Marcus)
Are you calling me a lier? (Danielle)
Your name is on those documents not mine
therefore the problem is yours. (Marcus)

THAT'S IT!! I'm going to whip your butt with my size 8/12 shoe. (Danielle)
I came here to see you Ms Hinton not this Seton Hall Pirate.
Keep that South Jersey brawler away from me. (Marcus)
Let me go Elaine he deserves to walk out of here with my size 8 1/2 up his butt. (Danielle)
You need anger management Danny. I'm out of here!!!! (Marcus)
 

How are we suppose to get your money back if you cant keep yourself under control? (Elaine)
I'm sorry but he practically called me a lier. (Danielle)
So what. You need him to tell you what happened to that money. (Elaine)
I know and he will I just need to figure out how. (Danielle)

DAMN I didn't think she would be onto me this soon.
I need a new plan. (Marcus) 

 

 

Looks like Danny's love interest took the Grace Grove foundation to the cleaners. But she paid the tab. What do you think he did with all that money and how will she get it back? Things that make you go HMMM.

 See you all next Monday. 

 

Is it 2:00 yet?

Pierre said your not doing the shoot on Friday. What's up with that? (Nikki)
I already made plans. (Heidi)
What plans can be more important then working. (Nikki)
The ones that I have. (Heidi)
See Erin she's still not answering the question. (Nikki)
 

Why are you always questioning me?  (Heidi)
I'm always questioning you because your always getting into trouble. (Nikki)
Your not Big Momma, Nikki. Can you tell her she's not Big Momma, Erin. (Heidi)
Don't put me in the middle of this love hate relationship you two have. (Erin)
Let me see your phone Erin. (Nikki)
Why? (Erin)
So I can call Big Momma. (Nikki)


 



OK, OK, I've decided to take a trip. (Heidi)
With who and where? (Nikki)
I'm going skiing, alone. (Heidi)
Child please, You get lost leaving the dressing room at your photo shoots.
Alone does not work for you or did you forget how we became friends. (Nikki)
O-M-G ha ha ha (Erin laughs)
That's not funny. Those hallways all look alike. (Heidi)

 

I'm about to head out. Will you be OK until Gabby comes in? (Justin)
Don't worry I got this. (Troy)
I guess I'll see you tomorrow then.(Justin)
See you later boss. (Troy)

Mean while down the street.................

Hello, What can I get for you? (Shelly)
I'm here to pick up a pie for Rosie Sporting. I believe she called the order in.(Lindsey)
Oh yes, give me a minute and I will put it in a box. (Shelly)
Thanks. (Lindsey)

Can I get some Ice cream Mommy? (Justine)
No you can not, Do you remember being up half the night with a tummy ache? (Tara)
I'm feeling better now. (Justine)
I'm glad you are, And to insure you stay that way, no Ice cream. (Tara)

Look Mommy, there's Ms. Lindsey! (Justine)
Where! (Tara)
Over there, Can I say Hi? (Justine)

Hello Justine! Is this your Mommy? (Lindsey)
Yes Ms. Lindsey, Yes this is my Mommy! (Justine)
Hello Lindsey. (Tara)

Hello Mrs. Sporting. Its nice to final meet you. (Lindsey)
Really and why is that? (Tara)
 Justine talks about you all the time. I want to commend you for being a great parent. (Lindsey)
Oh so you were commending Justin when you gave him tickets to the game. (Tara)
Oh, Well I ah ah ah........ (Lindsey)
Were the tickets for the both of us or did you forget to leave my gift. (Tara)
I ah ah ........ (Lindsey)
Excuse me, your pie is ready. (Shelly)

 

I gave him the tickets as a peace offering. I didn't mean to cause any trouble. (Lindsey)
I doubt that, but for the record I have everything Justin Sporting needs.
So please keep your TICKETS and LOVE to yourself. (Tara)
Alright Mrs Sporting I will try to remember that. Is there anything else. (Lindsey)
That all depends on you and Rosie now doesn't it? (Tara smiles)

I don't know why? (Justin whispers)
Cause I had a tummy ache last night and Mommy didn't make it better like you do. (Justine whispers)

 

You didn't tell me he was going to be here. (Tara)
No I didn't. Is it a problem. (Tariq)
No It's fine. (Tara)
Good, now play nice. (Tariq)

Yes, do you want to go. (Justin)
No thanks, I got house work to do (Tara)
I can help you with that........ if you want. (Justin)
No thanks, I can do it. (Tara)

 

 

I ran into Lindsey today. (Tara)
I'm sorry, I swear if I could make her disappear, I would. (Justin)
I know, I just keep telling myself its only a test. (Tara)
Can I hold your hand for a minute? (Justin)

 

 

I miss you. (Justin)
Its only been three days Justin. (Tara)
That's three days too many. I need you. (Justin)
I need you too. But I need to work some stuff out. (Tara)
Let me help, I love you. (Justin)
I  love you too. (Tara)
Tell me how to make this better. I want to come home. (Justin)    

 

 

 SORRY I'M LATE. (Danielle shouts)

See you all next Monday and I hope your Turkey was the Butter Bomb.

And The Rumble Continues

Gabby was my wife here earlier? (Justin)
Yes, She left about 20 minutes ago.
I told her you would be back shortly but she didn't want to wait. (Gabriella)
Thanks Gabby. (Justin)
Did you see the card I left on the couch. (Gabriella)
No I didn't see it. I'll look at it later. (Justin)

 

I've already seen your handy work, so pick up the phone and tell me what I did now?
(SILENCE)
Do you want to tell me in person?
(SILENCE)
I'll take your silence as a yes. I'm on my way.
(Justin speaking to answering machine)
 

 Justin arrives home 10 minutes later:

 Why did you trash my office? (Justin)
Why did you marry me? (Tara)
WHAT??? Turn around and talk to me. (Justin)

 

You've been crying come here. (Justin)
Don't touch me. Answer the question? (Tara)

 

I married you because I love you. (Justin)
According to your Mother you love Lindsey and apparently she loves you too. (Tara)
Tara, I do not love Lindsey I don't think I ever did. (Justin)
Then why didn't you tell me about her. (Tara)
I was afraid that you would walk away from me. (Justin)

Your damned right I would have. (Tara)
Telling you about her wouldn't have stopped the pain spending time with you did. Spending time with you told me I still wanted someone to love and share my life with. (Justin)
You weren't ready to share your life. You needed time to heal. You needed time to get over her. (Tara)
I got over her the moment I laid eyes on you. (Justin)
Was that before dinner or after the night cap?
Don't answer that. I packed a bag for you please leave. (Tara) 


 
 

 

Are you sure about this? (Justin)
NO, but I need time to think. (Tara)
Where am I suppose to go? (Justin)
I don't know. (Tara)
Will I be allowed to see my daughter. (Justin)
Of course, Call me when your ready to see her. (Tara)
 

(Sniff Sniff) Please excuse my tears. I know some of you think I've lost my mind.
But Rosie got me thinking about the circumstances surrounding Justin and I meeting.
I didn't know that Justin was engaged and had just been hurt by Lindsey.  But I am now asking myself. Did I see his pain and take advantage of him. Could he have worked things out with Lindsey if I hadn't come along? I love him I really do and he says he loves me. But I'm starting to wonder if he's with me because he's never been with anyone else. Is he here with me because we have Justine?
DOES HE REALLY LOVE ME?



      

 A few hours later and it looks like Justin found somewhere to go...........

 

Hey Justin........ are you alright?  (Aaron)
Aaron my my man you want something to drink? (Justin)
Maybe later, what are you up to?  (Aaron)
Man, I got got women problems can can you help a brother out? (Justin)

 

No can do. (Aaron)
What you you mean,  No can can do, you like like women right? (Justin)
I love women and I got 99 problems but a woman ain't one. (Aaron)
Damn, then then you really are the man! (Justin)
 I need to make a call stay right here. (Aaron)
I ain't going no no where I ain't got no no where to go.  (Justin)
 

Across Town.............

 

I thought this movie came with popcorn. (Janay)
I thought you were making it while I was in the bathroom. (Tariq)
No you didn't I made it last time. (Janay)
RING RING
 

 

Hello (Tariq)
Tariq this is Aaron I'm at the Bee Hive with your brother-in-law. (Aaron)
So he's a grown man (Tariq)
Alright but does said grown man usually consume five glasses of various types of alcohol? (Tariq)
Is Tara there? (Tariq)
I don't think so. (Aaron)
I'm on my way good looking out. (Tariq)
 

 

Tariq what what are you doing here. (Justin slurs)
Looks like you need some company. Can I join you. (Tariq)
Sure the more more the merrier. Aaron should be back in a minute. (Justin slurs)
Are all these glasses yours. (Tariq)
Yup Yup, I bought the beers but some lady bought the rest. (Justin slurs)
Did you here me? A lady bought the rest not a woman, Women cause problems. (Justin shouts)
I'm going to order some coffee will you join me. (Tariq)
Sure sure sure I'm almost finish this beer anyway.
Oh yea and ask that that dude why he took my car keys. (Justin slurs)

 

 

Is the room spinning? Why is the room spinning?
Whoa........... Tariq better hurry back with that coffee!

 

 

Hey, do me a favor and go check on Tara. (Tariq)
Whats wrong! (Janay)
I don't know. Justin's been drinking so I'm going to get some coffee into him and then ask whats going on. (Tariq)
Alright I will call you when I get to the house. (Janay).
 

 

DING DONG, DING DONG, DING DONG
Come on Tara I know your in there your car is here. (Janay)
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Tara!!!! Please come open the door. (Janay)
 

 

Hello (Tariq)
She's not answering, I've been ringing the bell and knocking for twenty minutes. (Janay)
Get the key out the flower pot and let yourself in. (Tariq)
I already thought of that the key isn't there. (Janay)
 

 

Alright we just finished one pot of coffee.
I'm going to order another then ask him whats going on.
I'll see you back at the studio. (Tariq)

 

How's my sister and niece? (Tariq)
Don't worry their fine. I love them and would never hurt them intentionally. (Justin)
What happened? (Tariq)
Tara asked me to leave so I did. (Justin)
Is that all your going to say? (Tariq)
That's all that happened. (Justin)
Alright where you gonna sleep? (Tariq)
In my office I guess. (Justin)
Why don't you sleep at the studio that way I can keep an eye on you until I talk to my sister. (Tariq)
That sounds scary but fair. (Justin)



 

 

I don't remember those stairs being so steep. (Justin)
Those stairs don't remember you ever drinking. (Tariq)

 

Thanks for your help. (Justin)
No problem. (Tariq)
I got you a pillow and a blanket. (Janay)
Thanks Janay, I'm ready to close my eyes and sleep through the rest of this crazy day. (Justin)

 

I've never seen him like that before, did he tell you what happened? (Janay)
Nope, I think he wants it to remain between him and Tara. (Tariq)
Are you going to let him do that? (Janay)
I will as long as Tara answers the 911 text I sent her.
She has 60 minutes to let me know she is OK or all hell is going to break lose. (Tariq)

 


(ZZZZZZZZZZZZ) Justin is now sound asleep.

I hope Tara answers Tariq's 911 text within the allotted time.

I'd hate to see Justin take a beat down from a worried brother.

Enjoy the Holiday and see you all next Monday.
