				RON
	" be careful now, I'm dangerous,"

	(Alasia blushes as she laughs softly)
				ALASIA
	" you're being bad,"
	(Alasia pulls away slightly. While staring into Ron's eyes, Alasia caresses his cheek with her hand. Then takes in a deep breath letting it out slowly)
	
				RON
	" Are you hungry,?" (softly)
	( Alasia knods her head. Ron grabs Alasia by the hand and leads her to a small table, with large menus placed on each side. He pulls a chair out for her as she sits down. Ron walks over
	to the other side of the table and sits down. As Ron and Alasia look at each other from across the table, they are interrupted by the waiter who has walked to the table.

	(Alasia's eyes widen in shock)

			ALASIA
	" Shh, lower your voice,"
		(softly)
			RON 
	"I'm just tellin' you babe, that's why when I get some money, I'm gettin' you outta here,"
			(softly)

			ALASIA
	" yeah, I can't have you being siduced by a man,"

			ALASIA
The day's of havin' a good time are over. Now it's been a month since you've been laid off due to the downsize, you should be lookin'

			ALASIA (CONT'D)
	" I love you Ron, but I need you to help me out, financially and emotionally, I need security, I need the man I fell in love with,"
			RON
	"Well you don't need me, you need superman,"
	(Ron leans across the table)
	" and guess what?
	(short pause)
	"He ain't here,"
	(Ron sits back in his seat and looks at Alasia's disappointed face. A silence falls as the plates of food are placed in front of Ron and Alasia)
			WAITER
	" Will there be anything else,"
   	(Alasia looks at the waiter)
			ALASIA
	"No that's all, thank you,"
	(The waiter knods and walks away)
			RON
	" For your information, I have been lookin' for a job. All that runnin' I do, I'm out lookin' for jobs. I'm sorry I can't get yo' hair and nails done as fast as you want, but I 
	can't pull that type of money out my ass right now. So I need you to be the woman I fell in love with and support yo' man,"

	" Girl are you goin' leave with me, or you goin' sit here waitin' for superman,"
	(Alasia rises from her chair and follows behind Ron.  Ron and Alasia are walking toward the door when they are stopped at the bar by a group of Ron's friends.
	 Rashod Ron's best friend steps out from the group.)

				RASHOD

	 " what's up man, where you been?"
	
	(Rashod smacks Ron's hand, holds it for a second then lets go)

				RON

	 "Aw man just workin' gotta pay them bills and keep 'lasia's wig tight" 
	
	(Ron gives Alasia a glance and a quick smile. Alasia squents her eyes in annoyance Ron turns back to Rashod)

	" She cleaning you out"

	(Ron gives a quick glance at Alasia then looks at Rashod)

				RON

	" she ain't got enough since to keep herself together, so somebody gotta do it."

	" Oh I had enough since last night."

	" and as for money. you ain't got no money. You didn't tell yo' boys you lost yo' job yesterday. So my money is paying the bills, and keepin' my wig tight."

	(Ron stands in silence as his face turns a flushed red. Ron gives an embaressed look at Rashod.  Alasia is now standing back in her place with

	" What the hell is wrong with you," (yelling)
	(Ron looks around and opens the car door)

				RON
	" Shut up and get yo' ass in the car,"
	(muddles, while pushing Alasia in the front seat of the car.)
	
	(Ron shuts the car door, then looks around again. He stops as he focus's his sights on a figure walking close to him.
	He quents his eyes to see if the figure was a man or woman. The figure soon comes into sight. It is a man who walks 
	with a switch at his hip. The man walks by Ron. He stops and stares at Ron with lustful eyes. Ron turns his head to the car. He pauses
	for a minute and walks on the other side of the car, opens the driver's seat door gets in the car and drives away.)	

	  RON AND ALASIA'S APARTMENT

	(Ron and Alasia are inside of the apartment entrance. Ron grabs Alasia by the arm, he pushes her  inside the entrance door of their apartment. Alasia tares her arm away from his grip,
	and turns to face him).
					ALASIA
	" Don't you ever put your hands on me again," (yelling)

	" Get yo' ass up them stairs," (furious grumble)
	(Alasia stares at him then turns and angrily walks up the stairs to the apartment. Ron follows. Ron unlocks the apartment door and he and Alasia walk inside. 
	Ron shuts the door, and turns to face Alasia)

	from all those things you said
					ALASIA
	I thought the only feelings you had,
	were in between your legs,

	girl I'm sick of your mouth,
	and all yo' bullshit,
					ALASIA
	then get yo' clothes and get out,
	and that will be it
	( Alasia begins to cry softly)
					ALASIA
	so you just goin' stand there,
	and watch me cry
	(Ron pauses)
					RON
	there was a time I cares,
	but not no more good bye,
	(Ron walks to the door, opens it. Alasia watches in fear. Ron walks out the door slaming it behind him. Alasia runs to the shut door crying loudly. She slaps the door 
	with her hands and slides down to the floor.)
