I got up to get a drink of water. I heard your music playing and asked if you wanted a drink. I'm not like you darting through the house butt naked or standing on the patio in the wee hours of the morning butt naked smoking that stuff, or greeting your visitors at the door butt naked, or cooking butt naked. Some hot grease is going to pop you down there and make you wish you had worn an apron.""You sure know all the times I'm naked.
I think you got a cam in here.""I have no such thing.""I know when you naked too.""I beg your pardon?""Like when you tip into my room late at night and stand there watching me breathe." "Nigga, please. You must be dreaming.""I made you say "nigga." You got a little bit of street dog in you.""I am a Christian and a proper young man.""When you take your clothes off to clean my room and lay on my bed right in the middle of my funk--is that proper?""I do no such thing."  Rev.
