Page "Mo' Better Blues" Paragraph 3

The next morning Bleek wakes up with his girlfriend, Indigo Downes ( Joie Lee ).

She leaves to go to class, while he meets his father by the Brooklyn Bridge for a game of catch, telling him that while he does like Indigo, he likes other women too and is not ready to make a commitment.

Later in the day while he is practicing his trumpet, another woman named Clarke Bentancourt ( Cynda Williams ) visits him.

She suggests he fire Giant as his manager ; he suggests that they make love ( which he refers to as " mo ’ better ").

She bites his lip and he becomes upset about it, saying, " I make my living with my lips ", as he examines the bleeding bottom lip.
