Why didn’t you tell me you were married to someone else?
Huh?
Now will be a good time to run!
Don’t huh me.
Toni Reynolds..
Does the name ring a bell?
Better say something. She might have a gun!
Yeah.. um.. It was a long time ago. It was a long time before I even met you. I was 17 in Atlantic City and we were drunk.. we got married… Four days later, we were divorced.
Story of Britney Spears life!
Not according to this.
Complaint for divorce?!
Crazy, huh?
I mean because.. how could somebody divorce you unless you’re married to them?
This has got to be a mistake.
What marriage is it?
You know Julius.. you know how much a light bulb costs per watt? How can you not know that you have another wife?
Because those things are less complicated!
I do not have another wife.
Yes, you do! Look, look! It says so right there! You know what? What I want to know is.. if she’s your wife, then what am I?
You’re my wife.
No!
I’m your concubine.
This is silly!
Is she white?
What? No!
Can she get the house?
Rochelle!
Is she white?
Stop it!
Do you have a kid with her?
Is she white?
No!
Is the kid light skin?
No!
Ha! So you admit that you have a kid! Oh God, I’m gonna be sick.
There is no kid!
How do you know, Julius? You didn’t even know that you didn’t have a divorce. Oh my God! What’s gonna happen to this family if it turns out there’s another one?!
Kids I’d like to introduce you to your new mother Toni and your new brother Julia!
Girl, you just wasted two dollars and seventeen cents worth of white meat!
What am I gonna say to my children?
The kids are gonna be all right!
Don’t touch me!
We’ll leave them out of this!
I’m gonna sign these papers and take this through the courtroom myself and get this straightened out!
You do that! Because if you don’t straighten out what’s going on in these papers, you’re gonna get a set of papers that look just like them!
