The camera fades into a dreary, rainy day. The setting appears to be a cemetary. The camera drifts downward and catches sight of a younger Vince Jones who appears to be clutching a tombstone with all his might. He has his head bowed against the tombstone and appears to be sobbing like he's never sobbed before in his life as the rain pours and soaks him from head to toe. The scene suddenly switches to the present where Vince Jones can be seen sleeping soundly in a leather chair in the corner of the living room of his apartment. The t.v can be heard softly buzzing in the background.
Jasmine: V....
Vince slowly begins to stir to life, mumbling to himself in his sleep. The camera pans around the room and catches sight of Jasmine standing next to a bare Christmas tree and a box full of ornaments and lights. She puts her hands on her hips and shakes her head in frustration.
Jasmine: V!!
Vince continues on with his slumber as he rolls over to the side in his leather arm chair. Jasmine strolls across the room towards Vince.
Jasmine: V, wake up!!!
She begins slapping him across the face and all of a sudden Vince's eyes pop wide open and his springs to life with his fists readied for a fight. Jasmine jumps back in surprise at his sudden defense.
Jasmine: Whoooa, baby! Chill! Chill...
Vince finally comes to his senses and glares back at Jasmine.
Vince Jones: Baby doll, what the fuck you doing, huh?? You know damn well not to be doing that shit to yo mans when he sleeping and shit! C'mon, girl! What da fuck was you gonna do if V had woken up and slapped the shit out ya, huh?? Call the cops? Call it abuse or somethin'? All because you being stupid and shit! Now what the fuck you slappin' Jonesy across the fuckin' face for anyways??
Jasmine points towards the bare Christmas tree. Vince looks at the Christmas tree in total confusion.
Vince Jones: And??
Jasmine: The Christmas tree...
Vince Jones: And what about the damn tree??
Jasmine cocks her head to the side and slowly folds her arms across her chest in absolute frustration with Vince's obliviousness at the moment.
Jasmine: Uh...we were supposed to be decorating it togetha! Rememba?
Vince Jones: Really?? You fuckin' wake ya mans up to decorate some damn Christmas tree? C'mon on, Jasmine! You really gotta tighten it up and shit here!
Jasmine turns away from Vince and marches over to the box of Christmas ornaments. She looks down at them and then turns her attention back to Vince.
Jasmine: Really, V! Really?? I mean we're supposed to be decorating this tree togetha! At least that's what you promised me a few days ago. You rememba that?
Vince snarls at the thought.
Vince Jones: Hmph! V remembas you squackin' nonstop and shit the otha day! That's what he remembas! Only way to get you to shut the hell up sometimes is to just tell ya what the hell you wanna hear!
Jasmine flips Vince Jones off.
Jasmine: Fuck you, V!
Vince shrugs.
Vince Jones: Well, its true! What you wanna here now??
Jasmine: Well, what I'd like to hear is that you're planning on honoring the promise you made to me and help decorate this Christmas tree with me! You know how much this means to me! I can't believe you're gonna act like such a fuckin' jerk about all of this! You know this is a family tradition for me! Me, my mom, my dad would always gather togetha and decorate the tree for Christmas! I figga'd that you'd be down because you know that they're not exactly around and all!
Vince Jones: Well, guess what, baby doll?? You thought wrong!
Jasmine tries her very best to hold in the true extent of her rage as she makes a bee line for the door and abruptly exits. The camera switches to the hallway outside the apartment where Reno Banks is seen making his way towards their doorway. Jasmine pushes right on past him and keeps on going totally catching Reno off guard. He quickly turns around and tries to get ahold of her as she marches on down the hall.
Reno Banks: Jasmine, where you going??
She immediately stops and quickly turns towards Reno.
Jasmine: I'm taking a break from my total asshole of a boyfriend in there! That's what I'm doing!
Reno lets out a sight and just shakes his head in utter disappointment with the situation he just whittled his way into.
Reno Banks: Do I dare even ask??
Jasmine immediately turns around again and storms off down the hallway in anger. Reno turns his attention to the door of Vince's apartment, readies himself, and then knocks. Suddenly Vince Jones can be heard yelling from inside.
Vince Jones: What the fuck is it now, huh?? Man, tryin' to get some sleep in shit in here!
Reno leans against the door and calls back.
Reno Banks: Uh, its Reno!
Vince Jones: And??
Reno Banks: I just wanted to stop by and talk ova a little bit of business, the usual...
Vince Jones: Fuck off, Reno! We'll talk at anotha time!
Reno Banks: But we really need to sit down and have a discussion about some things! Its important. There's Brody...
Vince Jones: Jonesy could give a fuck about a Brody, Reno! Now roll the fuck on, man!
Reno Banks: There's also that business about the gloves...
Vince Jones: Fuck that shit too!
Reno rolls his eyes in frustration with the lack of cooperation from his client, Vince Jones at the moment. Reno knocks once again.
Reno Banks: C'mon, V! Open up! I understand you and Jasmine had a few problems today; but, the last thing I need from you right now is to shut yourself in! There's a whole lot you and I need to discuss right now!
All of a sudden a loud bang can be heard from the inside of the apartment against the door as if something had just been thrown against the door by Vince from inside.
Vince Jones: Roll the fuck on, Reno! We can talk laytah! Damn!!
Reno just shakes his head in disappointment.
Reno Banks: Very well! We'll talk at anotha time!
Reno pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath.
Reno Banks: Well, I hope you...
Vince Jones: Just fuckin' go already! Shit, man!
Reno Banks shrugs his shoulders in defeat.
Reno Banks: Very well...Any particular time good for you??
Vince Jones: You still there?? You fuckin' hard of hearing and shit?? GO!!!!
Reno Banks: Very well..
Reno turns and walks away in frustration as the camera slowly fades to black.
Jasmine: V....
