Where is everyone?

They all went for a smoke break.

So how are you liking the job?

I'm managing alright.

Most days I am so tired though.

Oh, I totally get it.

Restaurant work is exhausting.

How long have you been doing it?

Oh, I started serving when I was like 16,

and jumped to management pretty quickly.

I will say money as a server was way better.

I mean, managers don't make tips

and plus you have to deal with all kinds of other problems.

Like what?

Like one time I had to fire someone

and they keyed the words bougie bitch into my car.

Ooh, someone did that to you?

Damn. Though I wouldn't be surprised

if Raven did that shit to me.

What? Why?

She seems like she hates me.

She's always so short tempered with me.

-She's like that with everyone.

-Not Miguel.

That's because she wants to fuck him.

[laughing]

Okay.

Do you want me to talk to her?

No, no, no, no, that is the last thing that I need.

And I don't need anyone around here

saying that I'm your favorite.

You think you're my favorite?

No.

And I don't want anyone else

saying that.

Okay.

Oh, hey.

[timer ding]

[phone buzzing]

Finally, I get a call back.

I'm sorry, sweetie, I've been so preoccupied lately.

I get it.

You have a new man.

It's been such a whirlwind.

I forgot how much fun dating is.

-Oh, yeah. -Yeah.

He took me to a Latin dance class.

We went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge.

We drove to the States and did some shopping.

-You did? -Yeah.

We spent the night in Bellingham.

Sounds like you're

really getting the Cinderella treatment.

Yeah.

He makes me feel young again.

But I don't want to be one

of them women who can't shut up

about a man. So,

-what's new with you? -Oh, uh.

Got a new cookware set.

Okay.

And, uh, paying off some debt.

And I'm also learning how to braid my own hair.

Yeah. Okay.

My news may not be as juicy as yours,

but braiding your own hair is really hard.

I mean, parting alone.

My arms get so tired.

Oh, honey, I gotta go.

Mr. Sexy is calling.

Mr. Sexy?

Yeah, that's what I have him as in my phone.

Good luck with your braids. Bye.

Audre.

You want some plantain?

-What�d you say? -Plantain?

Oh, sure.

Mmm.

So, noticed

Chantal spent the night again.

Saw her when I woke up.

Things getting serious between you two?

I don't know.

I like her.

I trust her.

We've been friends a while.

I don't know how much she wants to be in a relationship

with someone who's poly.

Do you think you're always going to be poly?

What do you mean?

Like,

maybe the reason you're poly

is because you haven�t found that one person

that makes you want to be monogamous.

You have it totally misconstrued.

Polyamory isn't just about sex.

It isn't?

I'm poly

because I want the freedom

to be emotionally and physically invested

in relationships with multiple women.

I love love.

Love is expansive and beautiful, and I don't see

why it should be limited to one woman.

I mean, who made that rule? I'll tell you who.

Patriarchy.

I don�t know that it�s necessarily the patriarchy-

It is.

I mean, look how many religions encourage polygamy for men.

India?

Africa, even those fundamentalist Christians.

It's a double standard.

I refuse to let anyone put restrictions on who or how

many people I should love.

I don't know, I've been cheated on before

and I just feel like-

Whoa. It�s not cheating.

Everyone knows and accepts-

No no no no I'm not-

I'm not saying you're cheating.

I'm just speaking for myself.

Jealousy,

feeling neglected, insecurities, all that would just

be amplified in me.

There's no reason it should.

Everyone's on the same page.

It's more common than you think, actually.

Vicky�s polyamorous too.

-She is? -Mmhm.

Huh.

You about done with the potatoes?

Almost.

Maybe if I got some help they�d go by a lot quicker.

But I've been the only one-

You�re the prep cook. It�s your job.

I know but it's just really busy in here.

No shit, Sherlock.

Look, everybody else can keep up

with the pace so if you can�t-

-I can keep up! -Raven!

That's enough.

But I can't do my job properly if-

If you're standing over people and yelling at them all day.

She's doing her best. Leave her alone.

Miguel!

Are the beans done yet?

[chill music plays]

Do you have a second?

Sure.

Listen, I really appreciate what you did for me today, but-

I didn't do it for you.

-You didn�t? -No.

She needs to be taken down a peg.

Publicly. You were right.

The way she talks to people in the kitchen, it's not okay.

It's abusive. And that's not the kind

of environment I'm trying to create.

I'm just had enough of toxic workplaces.

Oh.

Okay, then.

I guess I'll go finish up.

You do that.

Hey. How you been?

Been good. You?

Fine.

How's your job?

Audre told me you were working.

Oh. It's great.

Actually, I'm a prep cook at this new vegan restaurant.

How's your job going?

Not great.

They dropped my course.

That�s too bad.

So does that mean you're moving to Toronto?

I was only toying with the idea of moving to Toronto.

I don't actually want to.

They offered me another first year course, but

I'm not sure if I want to take it.

I'm sorry I called you bitch.

Sorry I called you a child.

It's not true,

by the way, what I said.

What? The bitch thing.

No.

About you not being my type.

Oh.

You're exactly my type.

I just thought you should know.

Well, thank you for telling me.

I also kind of figured.

Okay. Check your ego, Miss Thing.

Well, you cook for me all the time.

I probably put on 20 pounds since we've met.

I cook for myself.

And you're always making yourself available

for taste tests.

And a taste is just a bite, by the way.

Hey, Black women do not pass up good

home cooked food. It�s like one of our rules.

Is that right?

Yeah, that and moisturize your braids.

Anything else?

Nope. That�s pretty much the

entire black woman rulebook.

[laughs]

[back beat song plays]

What the fuck?

[flirtatious mumbling]

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
