Quincy ended up breaking it off with her one night as they were talking. A couple days went by and she thought the situation had blown over and everything would be okay, but it wasn’t. This was when Monica realized that he was seriously angry with her. He told her he was tired and was just going to go to bed. Monica told him she didn’t that night so she could talk, but Quincy just shook his head and told her not to worry about it.

Quincy was obviously still angry at her so he responded by asking her if she had curfew. She asked him if he wanted to go back to his place and talk about the situation with his dad. Monica saw him talking to her and instantly got angry about it, so she walked up to him and started talking to him about it. Quincy was all over this other girl that was at the same party. Quincy and Monica went to a party and saw each other there. Relational de-escalation, the movement that occurs when a relationship decreases in intimacy, also happened. Their communication with one another became less and less. Turning points are events or interactions that are associated with positive or negative changes in relationships. For them this was the biggest turning point in their relationship. She was too worried about her curfew for basketball so she wouldn’t get in trouble with the coach. She didn’t seem to be understanding about his situation when he needed her to be. In this case Monica couldn’t satisfy Quincy’s need for a companion when he needed it so this caused him to be angry at her and pull away. This is based on another person’s ability to satisfy your needs. To me this would be an example of reward power.

Quincy needed Monica to be the person for him to talk about it to, but she was too worried about her curfew.

Once Quincy started having problems with his dad is when things really went downhill for him and Monica. When one of them needed to alk about something the other would have no problem listening and hearing what the other had to say. They would talk about things with each other and the relationship they had was very intimate. In the beginning of the story Quincy and Monica’s relationship was very open and good with each other. The story wasn’t as easy as it sounds though. They end up getting married and having a daughter together. She loses but then he surprises her by saying he wants a rematch. At the end of the movie they end up playing a game of one-on-one for his heart. While he is out from basketball he gets engaged while Monica keeps playing basketball.Įventually Monica tells him her feelings for him and how she is still in love with him. Quincy gets hurt on the court and suddenly can’t play anymore. After time goes by they remain apart from each other and keep playing ball for professional teams. His playing ability also starts to go downhill as hers reaches a peak.
