How I Met Nola Darling

[Sample: Major Harris]
Turn down the lights
And take my hand
Turn down the lights
And take my hand
Turn down the lights
And take my hand
Turn down the lights
And take my hand

[Spoken Word: Tracy Johns as “Nola Darling”, Spike Lee as “Mars Blackmon”]
Is that right..
But not you
Sweetness
Mhm?
Why can't we be like this in my place
*chuckle* I can only do it in my own bed
It has uh, magical powers?
Uh-huh
It must be the mattress
Night-night

[Joie Lee as “Clorinda Bradford”]
Nola and I used to be roommates until we had this slight falling out
No, it was actually a big falling out
But we're okay now, we're still friends but not roommates
I had a boyfriend, and sometimes he would spend the night usually on a weekend
But Nola! Jesus, I couldn't keep track
I'd get up in the morning and I'd run into all these strange men in my bathroom
When we talked about it, she said "Look, I found a place that you can't hang, leave, bye”
So, I said bye
And I got this studio
Now I haven't spoken to her in a while
And I kinda miss her
[Nola Darling]
In my experiences, I've found two types of men, the decent ones and the dogs
It seems that men are taught not to be in touch with themselves with their true feelings, but the things that they do say?
Weak

[Monty Ross as "Dog #1"]
You so fine baby, I'd drink a tub of your bathwater

[Tiziano Cortini as "Lewis Jordan" (Dog #2)]
Congress has just approved me to give you my heat and moisture seeking MX missile

[Erik Dellums as "Dog #3"]
I just wanna rock your world

[Reginald Hudlin as "Dog #4"]
Baby, it's got to be you and me

[Eric Payne as "Dog #5"]
You may not realize it tonight but you're sending out some uh, really strong vibes
May I continue?
Well, you're lonely, you're alone, you're sad, you're confused
You’re horny
You see you need a man like me to understand you, to.. hold you, to caress you
To love you
You need me
What's your number?
[Marcus Turner as "Dog #6"]
I know I only saw you for the first time in my life a minute ago
But I love you

[Gerard Brown as "Dog #7"]
I know I only saw you for the first in my life one minute ago but I love you

[Ernest Dickerson as "Dog #8"]
I love you

[Eric Wilkins as "Dog #9"]
I love you

[Fab 5 Freddy as "Dog #10"]
Look baby, let's go to my house right now, let's do the wild thing
I mean, let's get loose!

[Scott Sillers as "Dog #11"]
I got my BA from Morehouse, my MBA from Harvard, I own a new BMW 318i, I make fifty three thou' year after taxes, and I want you to want me

[Geoffrey L. Garfield as "Dog #12"]
Girl, I got plenty of what you need
Ten throbbing inches… of USDA, government-inspected, prime cut Grade A tube steak

[Animal dogs barking]
[Nola Darling, Mars Blackmon]
One guy was different
Nola, I don't want a chance not seeing you again
Whatever you wanna do I'll do, wherever you wanna go I'll take you
You see me?
And that's how we met
