Something New ｜ Sanaa Lathan Begins To Open Her Heart to Simon Baker

Burning the midnight oil? I'm just trying to keep up with you. Wow. Ice. It's really coming along. Max, get over here. Max! It's okay. I'm starving. Want some takeout? What's with all the beige? You are going to paint, right? You're going to bring some color in. What's wrong with beige? Well, it's... safe. Impersonal. Feels a little like a hotel. It doesn't reflect you. My mother thinks bright colors are for children and whores. What do you think? I don't know. See, I think color brings in energy. It excites the senses. It can make you feel sad. It can make you feel happy. It can make you feel bold. No, bold is definitely not me. Are you sure? I don't think you take the time to know who you are. You're always working. Yeah, well, some of us have to work extra hard just to stay in the game. You wouldn't understand. Try me. You're so full of advice tonight, Mr. Know-Everything. Maybe it's time I give you some. Alright, fire away. Well, for one, you're a lousy businessman. You didn't ask for an upfront payment. And you've already put in too many hours to make this job cost-effective. Did it ever occur to you that I was giving you special treatment? I may not be the financial wizard like yourself, but I have been running a small business successfully for over six years. Of course, if you feel the urge to review my books, then please, do me the favor. I'll allow that. Trust me, you couldn't afford it. So, I take it you don't do white guys work? I just happen to prefer black men. It's not a prejudice, it's a preference. Sure, it's your preference to be prejudiced. What about you? Women are women. Some are poison, some are sweet. Every day the black girl? All kinds of girls. Mmm, so you're a player. I'm just a landscaper. I take hard earth and make things blow. Speaking of which, it's late. Need a hand with this? No, thank you. Oh, thanks. Good day. And I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Let the guys go early for the holiday. Okay. There's just one thing. You're coming with me. Why? Do we have something else to buy for the yard? No, we're going hiking. Just a day trip, nothing major. Are you asking me out on a date? I'm asking you to go hiking. Well, then the answer is double no. I don't even like hiking. Heads or tails? Who in their right mind would go out in heat like this? I mean, what is the point? Don't look down, look up. Look at the mountains. I'm looking for rattlesnakes. Don't worry about rattlesnakes. The mountain lions eat most of them. Very funny. It's in my hair! I'm gonna kill you! Swear I didn't see it coming!
