  • Keith Sweat’s absence is questioned because the soundtrack belongs to his era.
  • The proposed answer is that Babyface shaped this soundtrack while Sweat belonged more to Teddy Riley’s New Jack Swing lane.
  • Chade is another proposed omission, although the exchange says the P.M. Dawn song is basically a Chade song.
  • The office’s laughter after Marcus and Jacqueline break up prompts a question about what she told their coworkers.
  • The speculative answer says Marcus cried like a baby, sucked his thumb and asked for his mother after the orgasm.
  • The exchange also speculates that Robin Givens was cast because of the public story that she took Mike Tyson’s confidence.
