This is the last scene in Black Dawn and the only romantic interaction between Seagal and this girl the whole movie. It’s a surprise for the viewer, kind of an afterthought. But it’s great.
Girl: “After all we’ve been through together you’re gonna call me a friend? Normally when people sleep together … “
Seagal: “What are you talking about, man? Okay okay … “
Seagal doesn’t give a shit about this girl, calling her “man” really nonchalantly, and doesn’t know how long they’ve been seeing each other — “as busy as I am it’s all a blur.” They go on with this lover’s bickering and then end up laughing after the girl mentions how he taught her how to use chopsticks, a reference to Seagal’s oriental lifestyle, a staple of every Seagal movie, yet stubbed in as an afterthought.
The second half of this clip is a shitty wrap-up of the movie as the girl talks to her boss on the telephone (you can assume this with all the sir’s and the “report on Monday”). She gives props to Seagal for getting rid of the “nuke” — “With all due respect sir, in all my years with the CIA, it’s the most courageous act I’ve ever seen” — and then she finds out the President wants to meet her — “The President? … I’d be honored.” I love how the conclusion to this movie is a one-way conversation on a telephone, a very easy and lazy way to give the viewer a lot of information on a low-budget.
The best part is the “ticket for one,” as the camera pans over to a lumpy body hobbling in the distance, pointing to Seagal being the same old lone-wolf free-bird who can’t be caged.

“Wizard of the three night stand”
“Master of the three night stand?”
What the hell? Did you not hear him? He said MASTER! She is either correcting him and Seagal must’ve slipped in the all too common word “wizard” accidentally, or this was written in intentionally.
hmmm
