things around here."
     
    "Fer shore. From what I recollects, most folk keeps it in small leather thangs... wallets they calls them. I seed one on Dakota's table next to the bed this mornin'."
     
    Maopa walked into the bedroom and quickly returned waving a small leather object. "This here be a wallet, I'm thankin'."
     
    "Good. Now what movie should we see?"
     
    "Willie says they puts a list of them shows in the paper under entertainin'. He shore gave me a funny look when I asked 'bout it. Let's look and see what be playin'."
     
    Glancing at the movie listings, Maopa ran her finger past several titles until she came across one with three Xs.
     
    "This'un must be reeel good. They has three Xs by it. I'm a guessin' that means extra special like."
     
    "That would make sense. We can call one of those cabs to take us. Did you find any money in that wallet? I doubt if the cab or movie people will be as nice as Willie."
     
    "Yep. Well, he shore is gonna have somethin' to tell his missus, ain't he? Givin' the Illusionist freebies cuz she ain't got no money."
     
    "I just hope Yemaya doesn't hear about it. I don't think she'd like finding out she's on a handout list. Anyway, let's go. It says the movie begins in an hour."

    Maopa opened Dakota's wallet, and both peered at the money inside, let out simultaneous whoops, and smiled happily at each other. Within moments, they were out the door and flagging down a taxi. When the cabbie asked them their destination, they showed him the advertisement. Maopa pointed at the address.
     
    "We wants ta go thar."
     
    The slight widening of his eyes would have been a giveaway to most people. Coughing slightly, the cabbie blushed. "You ladies must be new to Baltimore. You sure that's where you want to go?"
     
    "Shore nuff. This be an XXX movie, ain't it?"
     
    "It's that alright."
     
    "Then we wants to go see it."
     
    "It's your money, ladies."
     
    Twenty minutes later, he dropped them in front of an old dilapidated building. Three large posters showing two semi-nude women in intimate poses hung on the dirty windows. Below the titles was the phrase, "Woman on Woman Action! Two Babes Battle Interstellar Aliens Trying to Take Over Planet Earth!"
     
    "A sci-fi," Mari exclaimed, enthusiastically. "I've always wanted to see one of those."
     
    "Me too."
     
    Two hours later, they emerged and strode toward the main boulevard.
     
    "Well, if'n that be a good movie, I ain't in no hurry to see a bad un."
     
    "Neither am I. Those aliens looked damn ridiculous, and the acting wasn't even believable."
     
    "Fer shore. That were the most piteeful thang I ever seed. Now who'd go believin them Marshuns had three peckers like that, let alone wantun folks to thank women folk would be havin' somethin' to do with anythang like that. Pfffft. Only good thang was that popcorn stuff and the babe on babe ackshown. Them gals shore knows how to make whoopee. Why some of them thar pohsitions looked downright painful. Ain't no way I coulda done that when I had the rumatiz."
     
    "How about before you had it?" Mari said in a teasing voice.
     
    Wiggling her eyebrows, Maopa grinned but said nothing.
     
    "I thought as much." Mari chuckled. "Still, they were interesting, don't you think?"
     
    "Yep. Can't wait to try them out. How's about we go find another one of them XXX's tomorrow and see if'n thar's somethin else they can larn us."
     
    "Works for me. Right now, I think another shower and a long sleep sounds wonderful. I never knew what feeling dirty and tired meant until now. I'm not so sure I like it."
     
    "Tain't nothing to like or dislike, sugah. It just be the way it be."
     
    Later, after eating a few more hotdogs with all the toppings, they returned to the apartment, showered, crawled into bed, and fell instantly asleep. The 'babe on babe ackshown' would have to wait until another day.
