All language subtitles for Sistas s08e16 Choose You.eng

You seriously believe
that I could stab a knife

into another
human being's chest?

Well, did you?

[Fatima] Previously on Sistas...

I have sickle cell?

You do carry the trait,
which makes you ineligible

as a sperm donor.

But you do still have
another sample available.

[text message alerts beeping]

HR wants to see me immediately.

Yeah, they want to see me too.

Must be my lucky day to find you
here with your lovely fianc�e.

I need to ask the two of you
some questions.

[Agent Watt]
Mind if I come in?

Oh, it's a nice place
you have here.

Very nice.

-Okay, wow.
-Don't touch my shit, bro.

Do you know why I'm here?

Do you have a warrant?

I'm not here to search
your place, Zac.

But if you'd like me to get one,
I can.

And I can come back here
and tear this place apart.

You know, that ain't
even necessary.

That's fine, Zac.
We haven't done anything wrong.

[Agent Watt]
Are you sure about that?

See.
You already trying to jam us up.

Zac, it's okay.

I just had a very enlightening
conversation with Gary Borders.

About?

The two of you.

-What about us?
-[Agent Watt] Nothing much.

Gary just shared with me
how you threatened him

on two separate occasions.

Once by putting a knife
to his throat.

And another time
by taking a baseball bat

to Hayden Moss' apartment.

Meanwhile, your fianc� here

recently punched Borders
in the face.

I thought Gary
had a memory problem.

You sure do know a lot about
the man's condition, Zac.

[Fatima] Okay. Can we just...

back up, please?

Are you denying Borders' claim
that the two of you

threatened him
on multiple occasions?

We're not confirming
nor denying anything

without our lawyers present.

Wait, I thought
you were a lawyer.

Oh, that's right.

-You only pretend to be one.
-Hey, hey.

Hey, no one's being
disrespectful, okay?

I'm simply asking
a few questions.

Yeah.

Questions you know
we won't answer.

[Agent Watt] Why not?

I mean, you guys haven't done
anything wrong.

That's what you said, right?

Yeah, we ain't do shit.

Well, someone
certainly did something.

There's a man in the hospital
right now

recovering from a stab wound
to the chest.

That sounds like a him problem
because we ain't do shit.

Look, what else did Gary say?

You seem anxious, Fatima.

I think what you really want
to ask is,

what else did Gary say
about you?

I mean, it's obvious

that Gary let on more
than you're revealing right now.

I mean, you wouldn't
have just come over here

based off some sketchy memories.

But what you've shared so far
wouldn't hold up on a string,

let alone in court.

Look at you. [chuckles]

Throwing around
all your legal knowledge.

It's very impressive,
future Ms. Wilson, Esquire.

Taylor.
Future Mrs. Taylor, Esquire.

Yeah, whatever.

Here's the thing, though.

I never said that Gary's
recollection of you

almost slitting his throat
or sack,

giving him a free rhinoplasty,
was all I had.

Is your son home, Mr. Taylor?

Why?
You want to accuse him next?

Didn't you just get custody
of him?

It would be a shame for Michael

to have to go back
to his unfit mother,

or worse, a foster care system.

You know, it seems that you
and Detective Morgan

work out
the same - up playbook.

It didn't work then,
and it's not working now.

You know what, Zac?
Don't say another word.

If Agent Watt
had anything concrete on us,

we'd be in handcuffs by now.

Oh, I can have that arranged.

Finish asking your questions

and get the hell out
of my house.

We'll see if you're
still singing such a cocky tune

when you find out what else
Gary shared with me.

Finally, we're getting
to the point of all this.

Borders remembered seeing
a woman in his dressing room

the night of his wedding,
just before he was stabbed.

[Zac] So?

There was plenty of -
in that dressing room.

True.

However, Borders did not
have a volatile reaction

to any photographs
of any of the other females

that were there that night.

Just your fianc�e.

Care to explain?

? My girls hold me down ?

? When them boys mess around ?

? When my love life
is a headache ?

? We goin' out tonight
'cause I'm looking for love ?

I don't know
if I'm gonna go back

to Benson, Jones and Leland,
honestly.

I beg your pardon?

Do you know
how many top law firms

in this country
and around the world

were begging to have the Marie
Willis Group's business?

But I chose Benson, Jones
and Leeland because of you,

Andi Barnes.

I know, and I don't want
to disappoint you,

-but I just...
-Then don't.

I cannot believe you're just
gonna roll over without a fight.

Miss Marie, I am tired
of fighting.

I've been fighting...

You don't get any more ice cream
until you get off this pity pot.

Now, we have talked about this.

This whole world,
this whole species

is here because of Black women.

So we cannot afford
not to fight.

We must stand up and make sure
our voices are heard.

You sound like my best friend,
Danni.

She always makes sure her voice
is heard.

Well, she sounds
like a smart and strong woman.

Yeah, she's both
of those things,

but lately she's been so strong,

she's having night terrors
and panic attacks from fighting.

Well, what is she doing
about it?

She's in therapy now, actually.

-Okay.
-It's helping.

So she's doing something
about it.

She is fighting back.

You have to face your demons,
literal and figurative,

if you want to conquer them,
Andi.

Miss Marie, you just said

even a mogul like you
gets tired.

I said I get tired.
I didn't say I give up.

That is not an option
for women like us.

Fight, fight, fight.

Everybody wants to fight
all the time.

We fight with our men.

Then they lie to us.
They cheat on us.

They leave us for younger,
whiter women.

We have to fight at work.

If you're too nice,
you're considered weak.

You're not respected.

If you set your boundaries
and assert yourself,

you're an angry Black bitch.

You know the thing
that pisses me off the most

is we fight with each other.

I am tired of fighting,
Miss Marie.

Don't you see?

Honey, if it was easy,
everybody would be us.

I mean, what's the alternative?
Lay down and whine?

But at what point
does one bad decision

affect all my relationships
since Gary?

I mean, I can't even get started
on what he did to my career.

Don't even,
I don't even want to.

Uh-uh-uh. No, what you allowed
him to do to your career,

you were not a passive passenger
on this ride.

Wow.

You know, my friends
have been saying

the same thing
over and over again,

and I just, I didn't listen.

I mean, not that they make
the best decision in men.

I have been hearing so much

about this hot mess
of girlfriends that you have.

Where are they?
Bring them over here.

Call them up. Invite them over.

You want me
to call my friends now?

No. I want you to wait
until after the 2028 election.

Yes. Get them on the phone

and tell them to get over here
right now.

Okay.

[clears throat]
Well.

[Danni] Tony, this is bad.

It can't be good if they want
to see both of us.

Relax. I'm sure it's nothing,
all right?

Stay calm. I don't want you
to work yourself up

-and have another panic attack.
-Wow.

Had that one ready.

[email alert chimes]

You got another email?

The rep from HR wants to see us
in my office in 30 minutes.

I'm pretty sure this has
something to do with us dating.

Sabrina, tell me right now,

are you going to use
the Dama - or not?

We have to figure out
what - you going to use.

[shushes] Maurice.

Why are you telling me
to be quiet?

You need to have a baby,
don't you?

You need to figure out
who you're going to use.

Damany's sperm or not?

[knocking on door]
Oh, my God.

[Sabrina] Hey, Damany.

I did it. I actually did it.

I manifested a man.

[Damany] I'm sorry?

[Sabrina] Come in.

Maurice was just leaving.

Maurice was just what?

Going back to work.

Well, maybe so.

Good to see you, Big D.

Big D?

I think it's just a nickname
for Damany, right?

It's a nickname. Yeah.

Yeah, nickname mean - name.

-[Sabrina] Maurice.
-[Maurice chuckles]

[Maurice] Big D!

I'm so sorry about that.

No, I should apologize
for just barging in

without announcing myself
like that.

It's fine.

I'm happy to see you.

I'm happy to see you too,
Sabrina.

-Please take a seat.
-Thanks.

[breezy music]

So, what brings you by?

I have some good news.

I really could use
some of that right now.

All ears.

I am here to deliver
because that article,

that I wrote about you
in the corporate newsletter,

has been getting a lot
of attention.

-Ooh.
-Oh, yeah.

And you are making quite
the name for yourself, Sabrina.

And that's not it,
but, drumroll, please,

corporate wants you to represent
Brookhaven & Trust

for the upcoming
Finance and Tech Summit

in Turks and Caicos.

That's...

Hey, Mama.

Hey, baby.

I bought some extra clothes

so now I can stay here
as long as you need me.

-You ain't have to do that.
-Aw.

I know I didn't have to,
but I want to.

Thank you.

Well, I appreciate it.

Did you get any rest
while I was gone?

No, actually, um,
I had a visitor.

Oh, God. Please don't tell me.

Did Zac show up here?

No, not Zac. Fatima.

-Fatima? Really?
-[Karen] Mm-hmm.

-And that didn't stress you out?
-No.

Actually, it was a good visit.

We got
some things off our chest,

came to an understanding.

You know,
some grown woman stuff.

Well, I'm glad that you two
are finally working things out.

-I hope it stays that way.
-You and me both.

Oh, wait.
Who are you talking to?

I'm going to call Pam.
Just checking on the salon.

No. No, no, no.
The doctor said no stress.

Well, Ma, I have to check
on my businesses.

Okay. Well, um, how about
that I make you a snack?

Okay.

And then I'll go over and check
on your business and on Pam

while you stay here and rest.

Does that work out for you?

Yeah.

Here you guys go.

A Green Bling for Jordan
and a Pineapple Pluto

-for Penelope.
-Oh.

I'm gonna borrow this
real quick.

Thanks, bro.

No worries, man.

Mm-hmm. This is delicious.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know why
you're surprised.

Um, how are you holding up now?

I'm better now that I am out
of that filthy prison.

Um, but nervous
that I may be going back.

Hey, hey.
It's going to be all good.

Promise.

Jordan, you can't make
those kind of promises.

For all we know,
I'm the one who stabbed Gary.

Penelope! Enough!

-Yo, bro, you good?
-Yeah.

I'm just sick of talking about
Gary freakin' Borders.

Jordan, I understand that you
are tired of talking about him,

but he is all I can think about.

And we still don't know exactly
what happened that night.

Okay. Fine.

Can we at least try to put him

out of our minds
for the evening?

-I'll try.
-Thank you.

-What's good with you, bro?
-You good?

Okay. Me and Sabrina

got some pretty - up news
this morning.

What?

The fertility clinic said

that my sperm sample
wasn't viable.

Apparently,
I carry the sickle cell trait.

What? Rich, are you going
to be okay?

I'm sorry, bro.

Yeah, I mean, the doctor said
I should be fine.

You know, she tried to drill it
into my head.

I don't have
sickle cell disease.

I just carry
the sickle cell trait.

Okay, well, that's a relief.

Yeah, not for Sabrina.

She's disappointed
I won't be able to be a donor.

Well, um, surely Sabrina
can understand

how hard this is for you.

Yeah, she does.

She just really wants to be
a mother someday, Penelope.

I can definitely empathize.

Yeah, that's... You're right.

It's good.

[phone vibrating]

Hello?

Hey, Robin.

Yes. Okay, where?

Okay. Yeah, I'll be there.

Bye.

Wait. What did Robin want?

He needs to see me
about the case.

[Agent Watt]
Nothing to say, huh?

We ain't stabbed nobody.

Yeah, so you keep saying.

What's to stop me from hauling

both your asses
downtown right now?

This.

You better watch him.

[Tony] So, Ms. Brown, why did
you want to speak with us?

Well, a complaint has been made

concerning the nature
of your relationship.

A complaint?
What kind of complaint?

Mr. Royal...

Sorry, who's... He's Mr. Royal?

I thought your name was King.

That's why I did
that whole deep dive

to make sure
we weren't kissing cousins.

Did you have something
to tell me?

King is my stepfather's
last name.

When my mother married,

she made me a King,
but my father is Royal.

I've always been meaning to do
the paperwork

when I became of age, but I
never really got around to it.

Then, you know, my dad died.

I finally put in the paperwork
to make it official

to be a Royal
in honor of my dad.

-That's actually really sweet.
-[Brown] May I continue?

-[Tony] Yeah. Please, go ahead.
-Thank you.

Mr. Royal, you're accused

of showing favoritism
towards Ms. King.

That's outrageous.

I treat all my employees
the same.

Well, the complaint states
that you arranged

for Ms. King to be accepted

into the highly competitive
leadership development program

after the window
of submission closed.

I admit that I did get Ms. King
into the program,

but that was not because
of some personal relationship.

It's because she actually
deserved to be in it.

Well, we're going
to have to look into

these allegations thoroughly.

Is there anything you want
to add, Ms. King?

No. You're wearing that suit,
though, girl.

I'll be in touch.

[unsettling music]

She could've said thank you.
That's all I'm saying.

You know, this all started

'cause you had to get me
in that program.

Look, Danni, don't start.
Just calm down.

Say "calm down" again
one more time.

You and I both know that
those allegations are bogus.

That's just some hater
coming for us.

That's it.

Tony, that's what happens
when a person

that is in a position of power
bestows favoritism

on someone
they're sleeping with.

Haters come for you.

Well, they come for me,
you know?

They come for me.

Danny, that's not the case.

I didn't bestow favoritism
on you

to get you into that program
because you are my girl.

I did it because I actually
believe in you.

Yeah, well,
because I'm your girl,

I just caught a case from HR,
so...

[breezy music]

Uh-uh.

The Young and the Restless
still come on?

[phone ringing]

Hey, Andi.

[Andi] How are you feeling?

I'm all right. What's up?

[Andi] I was wondering
if you were up

to being on speakerphone.

I'm having an impromptu meeting
with the girls.

What you mean by speakerphone?

[Andi] Well, you're on bed rest.

Uh-uh. No. Give me just a few.
I'm coming.

[Andi] Yes, but, Karen, I don't
know if that's a good idea.

I'm fine, okay?

Besides, I'm going stir crazy
in this apartment.

[Andi] Shouldn't you be nesting
or something?

You want me to nest
or you want me to rest?

-[Andi] Well.
-Don't even answer that.

I ain't doing either.
I'm coming.

[Andi] You really shouldn't
be driving.

Okay. If it makes you feel
any better, I will get a car.

[Andi] Please be careful.

All right. I'll see you soon.

Hey. Hey. Hey. Relax, bro.

Penelope's gonna be okay, man.

She's a fighter,
just like her brother.

Thanks, bro.

All right.

Now that my sister's gone,

you gonna tell me
what's really on your mind?

I'm afraid, man.

I'm afraid Sabrina might use
that Damany - sperm

since mine isn't viable.

Okay, well, does Sabrina know
you're sweating this?

I mean, I brought it up
in a less than tactful manner

after our appointment.

Oh, hell.

You have one of your famous
Rich freakouts, huh?

Yeah, man. Shit.

Look, man,
but, honestly, though,

what if she uses
that Damany dude's sperm

to have the family
that she always wanted,

and then decides
that she'd rather be with him

instead of me?

I don't know, bro.
I think you're overreacting.

Look, man, you don't see
the way he looks at her.

I'm telling you, man,
Damany definitely wants to be

more than a sperm donor
to Sabrina.

All right. Well, I think you
need to talk to Sabrina again,

this time calmly,
and tell her your feelings.

I don't know about that one.

Rich, there's literally only one
person on the planet

who knows if your fears
are valid, and that's Sabrina.

All right? Go talk to her.

Tell her your concerns about
this Damany dude.

Yeah, you're right, man.

I'm gonna head
over to the bank right now.

-All right.
-[Rich] Hold down the fort, man.

I got you.

What do we have here?

Quantico must be wasting
my tax dollars

if you don't know what
a - suspect board is.

Zac, what are you doing?

I'm just trying to show Agent...

What's your name? Watt?

-Watt, is that your name?
-Yeah, Watt.

Yeah, yeah, I'm trying
to show Agent Watt here

that we've been doing
just as much work

to find out who stabbed Gary
as he is,

if not more work.

It's not bad
for a couple of amateurs.

[Zac] Exactly.

So why would we waste
all of our time doing this

if she or I or both of us
tried to kill Gary?

That's a fair point.

So tell me, what did

my two homie detectives
discover?

Go ahead, Fatima.

Why would we share
any information

from our investigation

when you just came into our home

accusing us off the word
of an amnesic sociopath?

Would you like for me to slap

a couple of obstruction
of justice charges

along with your raps
for attempted murder?

Didn't you just have to release
Penelope Williams

after arresting her
for stabbing Gary?

I mean, keep it up,
and the people are gonna think

that the FBI is just
as incompetent as the APD.

Penelope isn't in the clear.

And neither are the two of you.

You couldn't hold Penelope.

And you won't be able
to hold us either

without any concrete evidence
linking us to Gary's stabbing.

Andi Barnes
definitely taught you well.

No shade to my girl,
but I taught my damn self.

Talk to him, baby.

[chuckles] Okay.
So tell me, what would

the unshakable Fatima Wilson do
in my shoes?

Taylor. Fatima Taylor.

I will let us continue
our investigation.

Because obviously we're
as far along as you are

with far less resources.

And if we come up
with something you can use,

we agree to hand it over.

Okay. I'll play along.

You've got 24 hours to get
me something credible I can use

to nail Borders' knifer.

Or else I'm not going to rest

until I pin the crime
on the two of you.

Clock's ticking.

-[Fatima] Zac.
-[laughs]

Watch me, Fatima.

[Damany] I'm sorry,
did I say something wrong?

No, you didn't. I'm sorry.

I'm just going through a lot,
you know.

Is there something I can do
to help?

Hey, Sabrina,
you can talk to me.

We almost did
have a baby together, right?

Okay, maybe I shouldn't
have said that.

I'm doing it again. I'm sorry.

No, it's not you at all.

I found out today
that Rich won't be able

to donate his sperm after all.

You've got to be kidding me.

This guy backed down
after barging in

like the conquering inseminator

the day I was supposed to be
your donor?

No, Damany, that's not
even what happened.

He didn't back down.

Um, we just found out
that his sperm is not viable.

Wow.

I'm so sorry.

Sabrina, I'm sure
you're both devastated.

Yeah, we're just,
we're trying to wrap

our minds around it, so...

Yeah, it's a lot to process.

[Sabrina whimpers]

Well, we still have my sample,

so I'd be more than happy
to help

and be a donor if you need that.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I guess so.

Thank you.

For offering.

It's no problem. Just as long
as you have options.

Yeah, options.

Oh, really?

Rich, what are you doing here?

Well, I came here
to see if we could talk,

but I guess there ain't
no point in that anymore.

You already called
in reinforcements.

No, no, no, it's not what
it looks like, I promise.

Sabrina, you so full of...

-You...
-Please listen to me, Rich.

Sabrina, I didn't mean
to cause any trouble like that.

It's not your fault.

It's not, so...

Let me know what you decide,
okay?

Thank you.

Girl, you got a revolving door
of ninja.

Just a ninja rotisserie.

Ninja, ninja, ninja.

It's a donut of dicks.
It's a penis pilgrimage.

Andi just texted me.
Andi just texted me.

She needs a sister circle ASAP.

A sister circle? I need you.

Take care of the bank for me,
okay?

-I trust you.
-Okay.

Looks like I'm being
assistant manager.

Well, call me
when you get in the car!

Zac, why the hell would you
tell the feds

we're investigating Gary?

I had to do something.

Zac, rule number one
in the hood,

don't tell the po-po shit.

And that goes double
for the feds.

I know, Fatima, trust me,
I know.

But what you want me to do?

You want me to let him
pin it on you?

You can't see how he try
to put two and two together

to equal Fatima?

-Oh, my God.
-Zac.

Look, I was in the room.
I had it.

I mean, not to toot my own horn,

but I know the law
just as well as he does.

You should have let me
handle him.

I got you, okay? You're right.

I should have relaxed.
I jumped the gun, okay?

But I just, I'm trying
to protect you and Michael.

Like, I couldn't do nothing.

- -.
-I know, babe, I know.

What's done is done.

But we got 24 hours
to give Agent Watt a name,

or he's coming after us.

All right, all right.
Guess we just...

We into a long night
of detective work.

I - hate the cops, bro.
Oh, my God.

This is Andi.

[Zac] What's she want now?
Like...

Oh, God.

She wants me to come
to her house.

She says it's urgent. Sorry.

Go ahead.

All right, I'll be right back,
okay?

You work on this
since you got us in this shit.

How I... All right.

All right, go ahead.

Take care of my baby.

-Baby.
-[Fatima] I got you.

- hate cops, man.

? You the one and the two
and the whole wide world ?

? The only one I choose ?

? You and me,
we got this thing ?

Hey, you know where Pam is?
Thanks.

[Pam screams]

I'm so sorry, ma'am.

Get the - out of my
daughter's salon right now!

See you later.

Pam, what the hell is wrong
with you?

I'm sorry. Please.

Oh, God.

Karen trusted you to keep
an eye on this shop,

and this is what you're doing?

I didn't mean for this
to happen.

Jesus, do you just come
back here and sneak

and to have sex
with this boy on a regular?

No, I promise,
this was the first time.

We just were trying
to spice things up.

Please don't tell Karen.

She just started
trusting me again.

I am not going to stress
my daughter out.

But I swear, if you ever do
anything like this again, Pam...

I won't. I promise.

Clean this shit up.

Oh, man.

Ole boy
was kind of cute, though.

-[Andi] It's a lot better now.
-[both chuckling]

-Andi.
-[Andi] Hi.

Miss Marie.

I didn't know you were going
to be here.

-I bet you didn't.
-[Karen] I know.

How is my business investment
coming along, Karen?

Oh, it's coming along just fine.
We're going to have

that business plan
to you shortly.

Tick tock, Karen. Tick tock.

Oh, oh, Miss Marie.

This is Sabrina Hollins.

Like Karen, is one of my great
friends, one of my best friends.

And we've been knowing
each other since college.

-Okay. [laughs]
-Yeah.

I am one of your biggest fans.

OK, I'm freaking out.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It's just that I think I have
all of your CDs.

Yeah, Sultry Singers is one
of my top favorite girl bands.

What? Just one of?

-Top five, definitely.
-[laughter]

There's The Supremes, TLC.

Destiny's Child,
and The Dixie Chicks.

-Okay.
-The Dixie Chicks?

Yeah. What?

A sister can't like
country music?

A sister can like whatever
she damn well wants to

as long as it likes her back.

I like to hear that.

Thank you for supporting
my music, Miss Hollins.

No, please call me Sabrina.
Please.

Sabrina it is.

I just have to say
one more thing.

I know. I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm not just a music fan.
Your autobiography,

Standing On business:
The Marie Willis Story,

oh, my goodness.
I love it so much.

That's how she went from,
you know, singer to mogul.

I swear
the pages are falling out.

You are such an inspiration.

Well, I have read a lot
about you too, Miss Hollins.

-Really?
-[Marie] Mm-hmm.

In the Brookhaven Bank
corporate newsletter.

Andi didn't tell you

that I'm on the bank's
board of directors?

I'm sorry.
It must have slipped my mind.

-I apologize.
-No, I had no idea.

Mm-hmm.
I've heard some very good things

about you from the CEO.

It seems you are
quite the rising star.

Thank you.
Thank you, Miss Marie.

Now, if only your personal life

could come together
like your professional one.

Miss Marie.

Wait a minute.

[Robin] You sure
you don't wanna eat something?

No, um, my stomach hasn't been
right since I got out of jail.

Well, I'm sorry
you had to endure that.

The good news is I got
your confession thrown out.

You're not out of the woods yet.

Okay.

I really wish
I could just remember

what happened that night.

Have you considered talking
to a therapist?

A professional might be able
to help sort through

some of the trauma of the event.

The loss of your baby.

I didn't lose my baby.

-Gary murdered him.
-I apologize.

I did not mean to minimize.

No. That's fine.

I've no business
directing my anger at you.

Especially when you are one
of the few people

who have my back right now.

I'm just glad I could be there
when you needed me.

Yeah. Only you could
have been there

to tell me not to get involved
with Gary in the first place.

Cut yourself some slack.

Gary is a master at hiding
his true colors,

especially from the women
that he targets.

You're talking about Andi, huh?

What...
What happened between you two?

Oh, okay.

Oh.

-That's exactly what it is.
-Fatima.

Fatima.

-[Andi] What's so funny?
-Miss Marie.

You had to be there.
What's going on?

[Andi] Have a seat.

You're here
because I summoned you.

-Excuse me?
-[Marie] You're excused.

Miss Marie, I wasn't expecting
to see you here.

Now that the pleasantries
are over,

we can commence with
the Marie Willis Masterclass.

-Commence what?
-Ladies, get comfortable.

I have a lot to teach you
and very little time.

Commence what? Andi...

[clears throat]
Andi, who this woman?

This is, um,
legendary Marie Willis,

mogul, millionaire.

Yes. Investor. Yes.

-Artist.
-Yeah.

And if you feel that I've said
anything that's out of line,

I am prepared to bob and weave

because I have put down better
and younger.

-Oh.
-Okay. All right.

I'm going to have a very good
time with you today.

Nice to meet you.

This is my client.
This is my client.

So let's begin with Sabrina.

Okay.

So I understand that you want
to have a baby

with a man who doesn't want to,
but now he's on board.

Baby, a wavering man
does not a good father make.

I understand, Miss Marie.

Honestly, I probably don't

even have anything
to worry about

because Rich's sperm
is ineligible

to fertilize
my eggs anyway, so...

Sabrina.

Oh, man. His Black sperm
don't know how to swim?

Sometimes man's rejection
is God's protection.

Now, I understand

that being a mother
is very important to you.

So you cannot allow this
little setback with your beau

to stop you from reaching
your end game.

You've heard of there being
more fish in the sea?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, baby, there is more sperm
in the bank.

Thank you.

Now, Miss Karen, you clearly
don't have any trouble

making babies or baby daddies
either.

Oh.

[whispering] Andi, Andi...

I didn't say that.
I didn't say nothing.

I got that, too.

Your situation is not ideal,
but you look like

you know how
to weather some storms.

Say that again.

Right now,
the most important thing

is that you focus on this
growing family of yours

and building it
on your own terms.

If I can tell you one thing,

you cannot put your faith
in one man or two.

Okay. But, what if I'm starting
to have feelings again

-for one of my baby fathers?
-Yeah.

Egh. No. Not Zac.

-Oh. Of course.
-Talking about Aaron.

-Really?
-[Karen] Yeah.

I mean, something just feels
different this time.

It feels new.

Does this young man share
your feelings, Karen?

Well, yes. I think he does.

I mean, he's always been there.

I think he was just waiting
for me to get over my ex.

Your ex as in " Fah -ti-ma's"
fianc�?

-It's "Fa- ti- ma."
-It's "Fa- ti- ma."

You girls sure know how
to keep it in the sister circle.

Karen, darling. Karen, darling.

Now is the time for you
to focus on yourself.

And if you're going to rekindle
this relationship with this man,

now you have a child together,
but you have to decide

if this is what you want
for your sake

and for your children's sake.

Yeah. You right.

[Marie] Okay. Miss Fatima.

Oh.

You were for real?
Yeah, I'm good.

I'm good.

I'm just here because Andi
told me to come here.

You're right. You are good.

But I'm about to school you
on how to go from good to great.

[whispers]
Damn this bitch is hard.

-Oh, really?
-[Miss Marie] Mm-hmm.

Okay, um,
no offense, Miss Marie,

but you've been through
like what, four divorces?

No. Heavy on the no disrespect.

But why would any of us
take advice from you

on our love lives?

Because I've already made
all the mistakes for you.

So I'm exactly who you should be
taking advice from.

And for the record,
it was three divorces.

One annulment.

It was one wild night in Vegas.

Okay. You know what?
I might like your advice.

And, Fatima,
from what I understand,

you and Zac have gone through

more than I've went through
with all of my men.

You're like a Bonnie and Clyde
with the felonies

and the baby mamas be damned.
No offense, Karen.

Hey, I'm good as long
as you off me, Miss Marie.

Look, Miss Marie, you are not
the first one to point out

that Zac isn't perfect.

But I like to focus
on his strengths

and not his weaknesses.

And I am not telling you
not to build your man up.

But you gotta make sure
that he puts you

on the same pedestal
that you have kept him on.

You're right. And I'll do that.

You know, we Black women
are always praising our men

for doing the least
while we are doing the most.

Okay? Okay?

This entire world here,
the entire species

was built off the backs
of Black women like us.

Right?

So it's time for us
to take this struggle love

and lay it to rest because love
should not have to be hard.

-No.
-Amen.

Damn, you right. I heard that.

I'm glad you heard it, baby,

because you're the next stop
on this trouble train.

All right.
Before you tear my ticket,

I just want you to know...

[Marie] Yes, ma'am.

Miss Marie, it's not beneath me
to whoop your ass.

Oh, Danni.

Oh, baby, I have given
some ass whoopings.

So I'm ready for you.

Good. Because, you know, it'd be
ageism if I didn't, right?

Absolutely.

Where should I begin?

I don't know. You tell me.

Panic attacks?

Night terrors?

Well, I do want to commend you
for doing what so few people

in our community are willing
to do until it is too late.

You sought help.

And I want you to keep up
that therapy.

You know why?

Because not only
are you worth it,

but because you are
irreplaceable.

Thank you.

Ass whooping rescinded.

[Marie]
I needed this little chat

with each and every one
of you today.

Because we are only
as strong as our sisters, right?

Thank you.
Thank you for listening to me.

We needed this.
Thank you so much, Miss Marie.

I needed it.

Now, what I wish
for you sisters

is that you get back into

this big, wild, messy, wonderful
world and live large.

Kicking ass and taking names,
ladies.

-Thank you, Miss Marie.
-Thank you, Miss Marie.

And, Andi, if you are not back
on top

at Benson, Jones, and Leeland
within one week,

I will take
my business elsewhere.

And I will put the word out
across the world

that Andi Barnes, Esquire
is a pitiful little wimp

who rolls over
at the first sign of trouble.

Good day, ladies.

-Good day.
-Good day.

[Hudson] You need
to forget about Andrea Barnes.

She's poison.

[Man] Next on Sistas...

Unlike Andi,
I will never betray you.

I think I want you to call me
something different.

-What, baby, tell me.
-Gary, -.

What part of the doctor's orders
do you not comprehend

that you're supposed
to stay home and rest?

I was resting, Mama,
but Andi needed me.

Oh, - Andi!

I am the best employee
at this airline.

I earned that spot on my merit.

You earned it on your back.

You're about to be flat
on your back

if you keep talking
to me like that.
