All language subtitles for Girlfriends s06e13 The It Girl.eng

Joan, your self -worth is all wrapped up
in your house. You must know a handyman

who can help me baby -proof my condo.

Why can't Todd do it?

Todd? He may be a whiz in Santa's
workshop, but he ain't worth a damn

house.

Ooh, that reminds me. I need a bunch of
repairs done at the apartment.

My tenants keep nagging me about it.

Okay, I'm the manager.

You smell gas, your windows won't open.
I get it.

You know, I need a handyman, too. I need
someone to put up my ceiling fan.

Why don't you ask Derek, the man you're
supposed to love?

First of all, Derek is out of town. And
second of all, I don't want him propped

up in my house fixing something when
Javon calls.

How many times has Javon called?

I'll go sniff some gas.

Wait a minute. We know a guy.

Real handy, works with his hands, fixes
cars and stuff.

Uh, Darnell?

No, Maya's husband.

Darnell. Fine, get him.

Don't be coy.

If you need a man to fix things, just
ask me.

Because you know somebody.

Your girl's giving a huge list of things
to do this weekend.

Good. That way I know you'll be staying
out of trouble while I'm on my book

tour. If the list gets any bigger, I'm
going to start charging.

If that's the case, you better make sure
Lynn pays you up front and in cash.

Because like her checks, the girl will
bounce.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Damn. How much is it? $300.

Damn.

Don't even worry about it.

Okay, it's your Valentine's Day present.

And my girl deserves the best. Hey.

Thank you.

Well, I guess we stomping in hot cotton
now.

Baby, wasn't your first car $300?

Yeah, $250, that was in the feet.

Remember how we used to lay back on
those deep skin seat covers?

Blast a quiet storm, dream, wait for the
truck.

It was a $50 car.

I used to dream about going to college,
being a businesswoman in my nine West

Combs, and you were going to be heading
up a NASCAR pit crash.

Look at us now.

Excuse me, sir.

This car was declined.

Do you have another car?

Can you run that again?

No, we didn't.

Okay. I got it.

Where's this one?

I don't know.

How?

Baby, don't worry about it. I put some
engine parts on the card.

Sweetie. I'm sorry. Hey. Sorry. Don't
you worry.

All right? Since I got my last advance,
we've got some real cushion in the bank,

and as soon as we get home, I will call
them, and I will raise your credit

number. Great.

Just raise it enough so I can buy my
nuts back.

Right now, did you get the fan in?

Almost.

Did you tell me that Darnell is up in
that big hole you put in my ceiling?

Darnell is not coming.

What? Well, I knew you all would try and
drown him in a sea of repairs, so I'm

pitching in.

In fact, I'm just two screws away from
being done.

What about all of these?

Oh, they always throw in a couple extra.

A dozen.

William, I hope you didn't bust through
the insulation.

Joan, would you stop worrying? A little
asbestos never killed anybody.

Uh, yes, it has.

Well, not immediately.

Anyway, I think I'm about done.

Now, let's turn this baby on and see if
she flies.

I believe someone owes me an apology.

We have a Black Hawk down.

Why'd you bring me here? You know I'm
alerted to manual labor.

Tony, you are a single mother now.

You need to start learning how to do
some of this yourself.

Why? When I have a purse full of good
credit cards, I can pay for anything I

need done.

I can't even believe this. What?

She told you, didn't she?

Who's she? And what's she tell me?

Don't play stupid, because I know Maya
be telling you all everything.

Oh, yeah.

Yes, she does. But see, Maya isn't very
fair and balanced.

You got to hear your side.

Well, there is no side. She makes more
money than me.

So? I make more money than both of y
'all, but I don't lord it over you.

I need a good laugh, but then you know
it's not personal.

Okay, don't get your lip all poked out.
I was just playing.

It's not that.

All right, you were the breadwinner in
your marriage.

Did you ever think that Todd was less of
a man?

My problem with Todd wasn't that I had
more money in my wallet.

It was that he could fit in my wallet.

So what?

So she makes more than you. You're
married.

You get married to share your life with
someone.

At least that's what I've learned from
all the marriage manuals I've read,

studied, committed to memory.

And that sharing includes the money.

Look, I was raised old school, okay?

A man is supposed to provide for his
wife. And you do provide.

You know what I mean. She's making more.

Oh, so this isn't about providing. This
is about who makes more money.

Look, I know it shouldn't bother me that
she makes more, but it does.

Why? Why does it bother you?

She's going to write more and more
books.

She's going to get more and more
successful.

And I'm going to be stuck working in a
garage.

Stuck?

I thought that was your dream.

No. Being on a NASCAR pit crew. See,
that was my dream.

But, you know, life got in the way.

And I figured the garage was about as
close as I was going to get.

Oh, you can't give up on your dream.

Look, if you want to work in a pit crew,
just work in a pit crew.

Oh, see, it's not that easy.

First, you've got to get on a racing
team. Then you've got to go through the

training. I mean, it'd probably be a
while before I even made any money at

Which is why this is the perfect time to
go after it. Am I making money?

Lean on her.

I don't want to be one of those men who
lives off his woman.

Oh, come on.

Darnell, you've never been that kind of
guy.

Now, I, on the other hand... Oh, excuse
me.

Where do you guys keep the straws at?

In the security office.

Come with me.

Fair enough. Will you go with him and
get me some straw?

Hey. Hey, baby. Welcome home.

Hey.

How are you?

Good. Hey, you.

Hello.

Hi.

How was your trip?

Oh, you know, the life of an author is
signing books, changing lives, shaping

destinies. What's all this?

You know, setting the table, changing
the placemats, shaping the dinner.

Thank you, sweetie. I am so tired.

How are things around here, huh? My
girls didn't wear you out with all their

little jobs, did they? You know what,
Maya? Your friends were not half as

annoying as I thought they'd be. I know,
huh?

Except for Tony. I know, huh?

Jabari, why don't you go wash up for
dinner?

All right.

You know something, baby?

I've been doing some thinking about us.

You know, and how we're in a different
place right now.

And I... And what?

Where you going with all this? You
trying to leave me?

I don't care what I told those stupid
lonely bitches on my tour. I will cut

to the white meat.

Don't nobody need... to be cutting
nobody.

This is good.

Oh, okay, baby. Well, I'm all ears.

All right, I've been doing some thinking
since Valentine's Day. Mm -hmm. And you

know what? You were right.

We do have a cushion now, and we should
take advantage of it. I know. We can

finally do some of the things we've
always wanted to do, like buy a house.

Exactly.

That's why I want to sell my half of the
garage to Peanut and start training and

working a pit crew.

Now what now?

All right, the garage is doing great.

If there's any money to be made out of
it, it's now.

See, I never took my NASCAR dream
seriously because I didn't think I had a

chance. But now with you making more
money, I'm starting to think that I can.

Now, baby, I looked into it, and I got a
friend who said he could get me an

internship working on Bill Lester's
crew.

You mean a non -paid, you -ain't
-cashing -no -check -on -Friday

Right before you trip out.

We're still getting our house.

Okay, because when I sell the garage, we
take that money and use it as a down

payment. And how are we going to make
the mortgage?

After I pay my dues, then I'm going to
start making real money.

Baby, we can start doing all the things
that we dreamed about doing, and I can

treat you to things I always wanted to.

But in the meantime, we just need to cut
some corners, you know, so we won't go

out to the $300 dinner.

You know, I'll give up my satellite
football package, and you can give up

pledge gratis.

We just dust like we used to.

Ma, don't worry about it. If Dad's going
to be working on race cars, I'll dust.

Well, then I guess I'm on board, right?
I mean, I've never heard this boy offer

to dust before.

We're glad you're here because we want
to thank Darnell for all his help. So we

baked him some chocolate chip cookies.

What were you bitches thinking?

I told you we should have made brownies.

You told Darnell to quit his job so he
could train for free on some pet crew?

First of all, when would I have talked
to this Darnell?

When I was at Home Depot all day with
Jappuccino's daddy?

And all I told him was that marriage is
about partnership and it doesn't matter

who makes more money.

Oh, don't look at me. All I told Darnell
was to quit his job and work on some

pit crew.

You know what?

I did not struggle to create the
brilliance of, oh, hell yes, for my man

up under me like he's Stedman. My last
name is what? Wilt, not Winfrey.

Maya, he'll still be working, and even
though he's not getting paid, he'll be

getting valuable experience.

Oh, really? You know what else is a
valuable experience?

Cash and a check.

And unlike you, Lynn, me and my man got
bills.

I have bills. Oh, really? Sweetie. I
think she means actually paying them.

Well, next time, be more specific.

Maya, it's real simple.

Do you want your man to be in a job he
hates?

Or one where he's happy?

Oh, I know you ain't saying nothing. You
ain't never cared if Todd was happy.

Todd could never be happy, Maya.

People were always after his lucky
charms.

I'm putting it in your new garbage
disposal.

But I don't need a new garbage disposal.

Well, you didn't until the ceiling
plaster hardened.

How did ceiling plaster get... William,
never mind. I'll just call the plumber.

No, no, wait, wait, wait, Joan.

Look, I felt really bad about the
ceiling fan and the garage door.

And I'm determined to do right by your
garbage disposal.

Garage door?

my garage door?

Well, I assume you saw a lion on the
ground when he drove up.

William, stop.

Just stop, okay?

Well, June, would you just let me do
this? Why are you making such a big deal

out of this? Because I'm a man.

This is what men do.

If something breaks, we fix it.

You know, Darnell's not the only one
around here who can fix things.

William, you're jealous.

I'm not jealous.

I'm envious and hurt.

If people want to call that jealous,
that's on them.

Sweetie.

Look, I want to be the man you girls
call on when you need something.

I miss being the main cock in the hen
house.

Willie, no other cock could ever take
your place.

Look, I may not be able to do everything
that you need, but I've at least earned

the right to mess things up first.

William, I'd be honored if you'd finish
messing up my garbage disposal.

Done and done.

Yeah.

William, if you're done, why is your
hand still down there?

I suspect that's the same question the
paramedics will ask when they get here.

Dial 9 -1 -1.

Dial 9 -1 -1.

Guess what?

I talked to my guy that works over at
Bill Lester's racing team.

He said that I can start training as
early as next month. Oh, baby, that's

great. Yeah.

So what's for dinner? I'm not finished
yet. I've just got the water boiled.

need to know what kind of ramen you
want.

I've got chicken beef, if you're feeling
south of the border, chili and lime.

Oh, ramen?

Why, what are you doing?

Baby, you said we had to cut corners,
and, you know, I just want you to know

that I am down.

You're going to sit down, relax, and
enjoy your beer.

What kind of beer is this? I don't know,
but it's a six -pack for 98 cents down

at the 99 -cent store.

Don't you tell me. I don't know how to
pinch no panties.

Maya. Oh, shoot. Oh, my God, baby. You
know what? I completely forgot.

I got to sneak our wet clothes into
somebody else's drawer.

Maya. Huh?

Stop playing all these games.

Or if you don't want me to do the pit
crew thing, just say it.

Of course I want you to do it.

Make the sacrifices. Don't you... No,
no, no. Don't you put that on me.

Noah, can I have that T -shirt Miss Poe
doing west?

Look, I don't want us to have to make
any more sacrifices than we have to.

I guess now's not the time.

I'm sorry, Darnell.

No, it's all right.

Don't even worry about it.

Did you check Jabari's homework?

Yeah.

I'm going to go take a shower.

Hey, you know what, baby? Now you can
focus on the garage.

Right? I mean, you talked about
expanding.

Maybe this is the time.

Yeah.

I'm going to go take that shower.

Careful with that soap.

It's the first time I made it.

Hey.

Here's some of your clothes, Jabari, and
I want you to put them away this time.

All right.

What are you looking at so intently?

Did you get past that parental lock
again?

Mom, better be rich.

Napcar drivers make millions.

The crew gotta get paid.

Shoot, I'm gonna get me some of
Nietzsche from top to bottom, brush some

off my shoulder, and pop my collar.

Oh, really?

Well, something's about to get popped,
that's for sure.

What'd I do?

You're being all materialistic.

Okay, did nobody raise you like that?

Your daddy didn't want to do this
because of the money, Jabari. This was

dream. Something he's always wanted to
do because it was gonna make him happy.

Put your clothes away.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, you better run. Whoa, whoa.

Better save that.

We're going to be cutting corners. We
can't be throwing away tomorrow's lunch.

What are you talking about?

You and the pit crew.

Baby, we already discussed it, and I
know it's not an option. It's all right.

No, Donna, it's not all right.

All I could think about was how this
whole thing would affect me.

And having to carry the burden of being
the breadwinner, it scared me.

Hey, we're a team.

I mean, if it got to be too much for us,
I'd go get a job.

I know.

I know that, baby. I just panicked.

And I... I mean, what if I... I can't
write anything else.

What are you talking about?

You are a great writer, okay? You have
an opinion about everything.

You're always going to have something to
write about.

And if nothing else, you can always
write a book about cutting corners.

Because that soap you made, I mean, it
smelled a little funny, but it really

through the grease.

I want you to be happy.

Do it.

Are you sure?

Yes. Thank you!

Oh, baby.

Maybe that sub -decimal looked funny.

You know something? It's starting to
burn a little bit, too.

Ooh!

Okay, when Maya said she signed us up
for a do -it -herself class,

I painted a whole different picture.

Who are you telling? I'm going to drill
me a hole so I can escape.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

What are you doing here? This class is
for women.

One, this class is full of women.

Two,

you can't use Darnell anymore.

And three, Mai said if we don't finish
taking this class, she was going to cut

us to the white knees.
