I AM SUPER EXCITED TO AUDITION

THE BACKGROUND DANCERS FOR MY MUSIC VIDEO.

OF COURSE, GABE WALKS IN

YEAH, THAT LOOKS GOOD TO ME.

OH, IT HAS A PIANO AND EVERYTHING!

- IT'S LIKE A CHURCH PIANO. - WOW!

I BET YOU IT'S OFF KEY.

I'M SETTING TOWANDA UP ON A DATE,

BECAUSE I THINK TOWANDA NEEDS TO GO OUT.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU SET ME UP WITH A DATE?

BUT MINE DIDN'T WORK OUT.

- NONE OF THEM WORKED OUT. - UH-UH.

BUT I WANT TO SET YOU UP WITH ONE.

I'M NOT WILLING TO DEAL WITH ANYONE ELSE'S CRAP

OTHER THAN MINE, RIGHT NOW.

THIS GUY YOU'LL LIKE.

- WILL I, MOMMY? - YEAH.

OR WILL I BUST OUT LAUGHING

AND WALK OUT THE DOOR LIKE YOU DID?

WELL, I HAD TO!

THAT LITTLE BOY WAS 12-YEARS-OLD.

HE WAS NOT 12.

THAT LITTLE BOY WAS 27, TOWANDA.

- HE WAS NOT 12, MOMMY. - I HAD TO-- THAT'S A CHILD!

BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, HOW OLD ARE YOU?

- TWENTY-SEVEN. - ALL RIGHTY, THEN.

I REALLY FEEL LIKE DOING THIS.

WHAT-- IS THERE MILK BACK THERE?

IT'S A MILK-- YEAH, LET ME GET THIS ONE.

GEEZ, 'CAUSE, THAT'S A LOT.

THE BOY HAD HIS UMBILICAL CORD--

HE'S A GROWN MAN.

...WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

HE DID NOT HAVE THE UMBILICAL CORD

WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK.

- YES, HE DID, TOWANDA. - HE WAS NOT CHOKING.

THAT'S HOW-- THAT'S WHAT I SAW.

YOU ARE REALLY, REALLY UPSET ABOUT IT.

WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST GUY-- HE WAS FUN!

WHOO.

- HONEY, HE WAS A DRUNK! - BUT HE WAS FUN.

NO, HE WASN'T A LOT OF FUN.

I COULDN'T WAIT TO LEAVE. - YOU SAID YOU HAD FUN!

WELL, I WANTED TO SPARE YOUR FEELINGS!

YOU DON'T GOTTA SPARE MY FEELINGS.

NO, I'M JUST SCARED FOR YOU TO SET ME UP

WITH ANYBODY ELSE-- ABSOLUTELY NOT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT-- I DON'T NEED ANYBODY.

SHE HAS SET ME UP WITH, YOU KNOW,

SOME DATES THAT WASN'T GOOD,

BUT I WOULD NEVER DO HER THAT WAY.

LET ME MAKE MYSELF PERFECTLY CLEAR.

BUT YOU'RE YOUNG, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

YOU GOT IT GOIN' ON.

GO OUT... JUST GET OUT THERE.

SO, THAT'S WHY I'M SETTING YOU UP.

COME ON.

I KNOW MOMMY IS REALLY TRYING TO PAY ME BACK

FOR SETTING HER UP WITH A DRUNK

AND A LITTLE BABY BOY BUT, BUT I MEAN,

I JUST THINK THAT MOMMY'S GONNA SET ME UP

WITH SOMEBODY WHO HAS A KICK-STAND AND WOODEN TEETH.

I DON'T WANNA DO THAT!

TELL ME, EVERYTHING YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

- HE'S HAVE TO BE FUN. - OKAY.

THEY'RE ALL LIARS, SO, I CAN'T SAY THAT

I DON'T-- I WANT A MAN WHO CAN'T LIE,

BECAUSE THEY ALL LIE.

WANDA, WE ALL LIE FROM TIME TO TIME.

THERE'S NO PERFECT PERSON, NOW.

I GUESS I KIND OF OWE MOMMY

TO GO OUT ON THIS BLIND DATE,

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT?

HE BETTER HAVE A PLATINUM CARD,

AND HE BETTER WINE AND DINE ME,

BECAUSE I AM GOING TO, LIKE,

PUT SKID MARKS ON HIS CREDIT CARD,

AND AT LEAST, I'LL HAVE A NICE MEAL.

HERE'S TO YOU GOING OUT ON A BLIND DATE.

I'M SO HAPPY YOU ACCEPTED-- CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK!

I'M SO HAPPY.

- MMM-HMM. - MMM-HMM.

- WHAT'S YOUR NAME? - EDGAR.

IS THE FOOD GOOD, EDGAR?

THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT, BETTER THAN GOOD.

- IS IT EXCELLENT? - IT'S EXCELLENT.

WHAT ARE YOU-- OH, OKAY!

SO, I'VE BEEN HAVING THE FERTILITY TREATMENTS

FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE I CAN'T GET PREGNANT THE OLD, NATURAL WAY.

AND, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY,

THE DOCTOR HAS THE GREATEST, GREATEST INVENTION OF ALL TIMES.

PUT THE BABIES IN THE FREEZER,

THIS BIG, BEAUTIFUL, COMFORTABLE FREEZER--

EVERYBODY'S HAPPY-- I STILL LOOK FABULOUS.

SHE CAN STILL DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT

AND PICK IT BACK UP WITHOUT HAVING TO PEE HERSELF.

AND, YOU KNOW, LIFE IS GREAT.

ARE YOU TAKING THOSE SHOTS YET?

WHY ARE YOU TRYING ME TODAY?

THAT'S NOT TRYING.

I'M GONNA LOOK-- I'M GONNA--

YOU HAVE A WOMAN OF MANY TALENTS,

OKAY? - OKAY.

PLEASE LEAVE MY THING ALONE.

OKAY, VINCE, YES, I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY FERTILITY SHOTS,

SO STOP ASKING ME LIKE I AM A CHILD--

I MEAN, I DON'T LIKE IT, BECAUSE I HATE NEEDLES,

BUT I'M STILL DOING IT.

YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THE SHOTS?

I'M NOT PUTTING NO SHOT IN YOUR BUTT!

WHY COME?

I DON'T WANNA MESS UP, EITHER.

WHY DON'T WE SEE ABOUT GETTING YOU A NURSE?

- WHAT SHE LOOK LIKE? - I REALLY COULD CARE LESS.

I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU.

WELL, AS LONG AS SHE OLD AND, YOU KNOW.

SHE NOT FROM THE UGLY TRIBE.

WELL, THEN SHE CAN'T COME TO MY HOUSE,

CAUSE I HAVE MY HUSBAND TO PROTECT.

PROTECT?

THERE IS MANY OF CHICKS WHO WOULD LIKE TO TRY ME.

- OH, MY GOD. - OKAY.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW--

AIN'T NO CUTE, BIG OLD BOOB, BIG OLD INJECTION SHOT,

UM, LITTLE CHICK GOING TO COME THROUGH MY DOORS

TO MY, "UM, I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU A SHOT."

EVERYONE DOESN'T TALK LIKE THAT.

OR, "OKAY, VINCE, UM, WHERE'S TAMAR?"

I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A NURSE LIKE THAT.

VINCE, I'M TELLING YOU-- IT WAS A COUPLE OF NURSES

THAT WAS COMIN' TO SEE YOU, WHEN YOU WAS OUT OF IT--

TAMAR, PLEASE.

NOW, WHAT DID I DO? - WHAT DID I DO?

NOTHING.

I SAW THOSE NURSES MAKING THE PLAY.

VINCE WAS WAY TOO OUT OF IT TO NOTICE,

BUT, LADIES, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU BETTER BE ON YOUR GUARD BECAUSE THEY WILL TRY IT,

ESPECIALLY THE ONES IN THOSE NURSES UNIFORMS.

BUT IF THEY TRY TO PLAY "DOCTOR" WITH MY HUSBAND,

THEY'LL BE THE ONES NEEDING MEDICAL ATTENTION--

I TELL YOU THAT.

AND MY NAME IS TAMAR-- SHE'S ALWAYS ON IT.

- WHAT? - BRAXTON HERBERT.

BUT WHY ARE YOU SO LOUD?

'CAUSE YOU'RE TRYING IT TODAY.

I'M NOT TRYING IT.

YOU'RE TRYING IT TODAY, AND THE MORE YOU TRY IT,

THE MORE I'M GOING TO GIVE IT BACK TO YOU.

I'M NOT TRYING IT.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT YOU TO STOP SAYING "TRYING IT."

WHY DON'T YOU BE THAT NICE, LITTLE GIRL I MET.

YOU USED TO GO TO, LIKE, LOVE TO GO TO DISNEYLAND.

YOU DON'T TAKE ME THERE NO MORE.

YOU'VE OUT-GROWN YOUR BRITCHES.

NO-- YOU HAVE FINISHED TRICKIN'--

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

- TRICKIN'? - YEAH.

I'VE NEVER TRICKED WITH YOU.

WHAT-- TAKING ME TO DISNEYLAND,

LOOKING AT ME WITH THE DISNEYLAND STARE-- STARIN'.

THAT WAS ONLY 40 SOME DOLLARS.

THAT WASN'T TRICKIN'-- THAT'S REALLY TRICKIN'?

STARIN' AT ME.

BUY ME THE BIG OLE' STUFFED ANIMALS.

I DIDN'T BUY NOTHIN'-- I ACTUALLY WON THAT IN A GAME.

OH-- OH, GOD!

I DIDN'T BUY NOTHING FOR YOU, OKAY?

GETTING ON THE RIDES, ACTING LIKE YOU ENJOYED IT.

I DON'T GET NONE OF THAT NO MORE.

BECAUSE YOU'RE RUNNING YOUR MOUTH TOO MUCH LATELY.

SO, TRINA, ARE YOU EXCITED?

LITTLE BABY BIT.

- REALLY? - MMM-HMM.

- I'M EXCITED FOR YOU. - I'M NERVOUS.

THIS MUSIC VIDEO, "PARTY OR GO HOME,"

IS MY VERY FIRST MUSIC VIDEO EVER,

AND I AM PRODUCING IT AND FINANCING IT ON MY OWN.

SO, THERE'S A LOT ON THE LINE, AND THIS IS MY OPPORTUNITY

TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT I'M NOT JUST A SINGER

WITH A GORGEOUS FACE, BUT I'M A POP STAR, HONEY!

AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY EXPENSIVE, TOO,

SO THIS REALLY HAS TO WORK.

SO, FIRST OFF, I'M EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, FIRST OFF,

THAT YOU'RE PLEASED WITH THE VISION.

TOWANDA AND I ARE MEETING WITH THE NEW VIDEOGRAPHER

FOR MY VIDEO.

HIS NAME IS DEREK BLANKS, HE IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PHOTOGRAPHER

AND HE IS DELVING INTO THE WHOLE MUSIC VIDEO WORLD NOW.

HE'S PHOTOGRAPHED THE BRAXTONS BEFORE AND WE CAME OUT VERY,

VERY BEAUTIFUL, SO I AM HOPING THAT HE WILL BE ABLE

TO DO THE SAME FOR ME, PERSONALLY, FOR MY VIDEO.

FOR MY DANCE SEQUENCE, I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR MY GENTLEMEN

BEHIND ME TO BE GAY.

I WANT-- - AND YOU WANT TO BE FLAMING.

YES.

I JUST WANT THEM TO MOVE-- - LIKE HOT CAKES.

NO, 'CAUSE I WANT THEM TO MOVE A CERTAIN WAY.

OKAY.

I MEAN, LIKE, I WANT--

I LOVE THE IDEA OF BEING SURROUNDED BY

A TEAM OF BUFF DANCERS, BUT WITH A LITTLE GAY FLARE.

I THINK IT'S DIFFERENT AND IT MAKES ME POP OUT MORE AS A DIVA.

SO, YOU WANT THEM ONLY TO BE GAY GUYS BEHIND YOU DANCING?

WELL, I MEAN, IF YOU CAN FIND A FEW STRAIGHT ONES

THAT-THAT DON'T MIND MOVING LIKE THAT,

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

SO, YOU DON'T WANT ANY WOMEN DANCING WITH YOU?

- NO, JUST ME. - JUST HER.

WELL, I MEAN, NO-NO-NO-NO.

THE-THE CLUB IS GONNA HAVE AN ARRAY OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

IT'S GOING TO BE VERY, VERY DIVERSE.

I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT FOR MY DANCE SEQUENCE.

OKAY.

WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE DANCING BEHIND HER?

I WAS THINKING MORE OF, LIKE, THE CLUB ATMOSPHERE,

LIKE A VERY MIXED CROWD, LIKE BLACK, WHITE, MALE AND FEMALE.

STRESSING MALE AND FEMALE-- I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD

JUST GO SPE-SPECIFICALLY WITH MEN DANCERS.

ME, PERSONALLY, I THINK IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT,

FROM A VIDEO STANDPOINT,

BECAUSE IT'S REALLY NEVER BEEN DONE, LIKE,

AS FAR AS BEING REALLY DRESSED UP ANDROGYNOUS.

DRESSED UP ANDROGYNOUS?

DRESSED UP IN AN ANDROGYNISTIC WAY, LIKE TIGHTS

AND, YOU KNOW, GLOVES, A HAT, AND ETCETERA, ETCETERA, ETCETERA.

I THINK IT-- IT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE.

RECO IS THE STYLIST AND ALSO THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR

FOR MY MUSIC VIDEO.

HE ALWAYS HAS AN OPINION, AND IT'S USUALLY A VERY CATTY ONE.

YOU JUST NEED TO STICK TO COSTUMES, RECO.

I DID REWRITE THE TREATMENT I INITIALLY GAVE YOU

AND TOOK YOUR TREATMENT

AND KIND OF DID A WHOLE MODGE PODGE.

I DON'T WANT TO STEP ON NOBODY'S TOES, BUT--

DIRECTOR, UH, RECO CHAPPLE.

AH, NO, IT'S CREATIVE DIRECTOR, IT'S NOT DIRECTOR.

UM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS,

ALL I SEE IS TRINA WITH THREE NAKED GUYS--

OR BACKGROUND DANCERS.

WHAT-- SEE, BUT YOU HAVE TO READ,

AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT AND--

ALL YOUR FANTASTIC IDEAS, RECO.

I THINK YOU CAN TAKE ABOUT FIVE PERCENT OF IT,

MAYBE THAT'LL WORK.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU WOULD KIND OF STEP IN

AND HELP ME WITH BUDGET,

GET IT UNDERWAY. - I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT.

YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE A CHANCE FOR US TO BE TOGETHER.

I

I DON'T

I DON'T WANNA

I DON'T WANNA STEP

I DON'T WANNA STEP ON

I DON'T WANNA STEP ON NOBODY'S

I DON'T WANNA STEP ON NOBODY'S TOES,

BUT LET'S PASS THIS OUT. - DIRECTOR, AH, RECO SHAPELL.

AH, NO, IT'S CREATIVE DIRECTORS, NOT DIRECTOR.

ALL YOUR FANTASTIC IDEAS, RECO...

I THINK YOU CAN TAKE ABOUT FIVE PERCENT OF IT,

MAYBE THAT WILL WORK. - I'M NOT DOING Y'ALL TODAY.

NO, I'M JUST SAYIN' IT'S NOT ABOUT ME,

IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU, DEREK.

I THINK WE JUST KIND OF NEED TO PUT OUR NUTS BACK IN OUR PANTS

AND STOP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO GO THE BIGGEST NUTS;

BECAUSE, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE NOT REALLY LISTENING

TO WHAT SHE'S SAYING.

SHE'S TELLING YOU EVERYTHING THAT SHE WANTS

AND YOU-- - BUT I AM LISTENING TO HER.

LIKE, TRINA IS TELLING ME EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTS.

IS THIS A HOUSE OF CHAPPLE VIDEO OR IS THIS AH--

NO, IT'S-- IT'S TRINA BRAXTON'S VIDEO BUT--

I MEAN, NO OFFENSE, RECO...

OKAY--

BUT, UM, DIRECTED BY DEREK BLANKS.

WELL, ON THAT NOTE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY NOTHING ELSE.

I'LL JUST BE QUIET.

I DON'T WANT MY VIDEO

TO BECOME A CAT FIGHT BETWEEN RECO AND DEREK.

NOW RECO JUST NEEDS TO DO THE WHOLE FASHION THING,

AND THEN COME DOWN WITH "KEEP-YOUR-MOUTH-SHUT-ITIS"

AND THEN LET DEREK DO HIS JOB AS A DIRECTOR.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT WE ALL ACCOMPLISH WHAT TRINA HAS SET OUT FOR,

AND THAT SHE LEAVES HAPPY, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY

IT'S NOT GONNA BE LIKE "DIRECTED BY RECO CHAPPLE."

THEY'RE GONNA SAY, "DIRECTED BY DEREK BLANKS."

YOU-- YOU BROUGHT IT UP SEVERAL TIMES.

WE'RE READY.

RECO, HERE'S YOUR TREATMENT BACK.

OH, DEREK!

THAT'S FINE.

- HOW YOU BEEN? - GOOD-- HOW ARE YOU?

OKAY.

HOW'S YOUR MUSIC COMING ALONG?

IT'S COMING, SLOWLY BUT SURELY.

UM, DEREK BLANKS IS GOING TO DIRECT THE VIDEO,

BUT YOU KNOW, YOU BEING A GREAT FINANCIAL GUY,

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU WOULD KIND OF STEP IN

AND HELP ME WITH BUDGET AND MAYBE KIND OF ADD TO IT.

EVEN THOUGH I FILED FOR A DIVORCE,

GABE AND I ARE ON FRIENDLIER TERMS,

ESPECIALLY FOR THE KIDS.

NOW, I COULD BE A LOT MORE FRIENDLIER WITH GABE

IF HE WOULD JUST COUGH UP SOME MORE CASH

TO HELP ME PAY FOR MY VIDEO.

I NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE, YOU KNOW, FINANCES

TO HELP ME TO, YOU KNOW, GET IT UNDER WAY.

I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT.

- YEAH? - YEAH.

- WHY? - I THINK IT'S A GREAT CHANCE

FOR YOU AND I TO GET TOGETHER

AND WORK ON SOMETHING AND POSSIBLY REKINDLING...

I'M LISTENING.

YOU KNOW, IT'D BE A CHANCE FOR US TO BE TOGETHER.

HOPEFULLY LET ME GET A-- GET INVOLVED

AND SHOW MY CREATIVE ABILITY, TOO.

- WHAT-- WHAT-- WHAT-- WAIT. - WHAT?

YOUR CREA-- WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR CREATIVE ABILITY?

LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

LIKE, HOW MUCH DO YOU PLAN ON PARTICIPATING?

NO, JUST LET ME, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE MY INPUT.

I MIGHT TEACH THE GUY SOME THINGS, THE VIDEO DIRECTOR.

I MEAN-- I MEAN I HAVE THIS ARTISTIC ABILITY--

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WAIT, WAIT!

YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE TRYING TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO.

I WON'T.

I'M ALL FOR IT-- LET'S DO THIS.

OKAY.

SO TODAY IS THE BIG DAY,

AND I HAVE TO GO IN AND GET SOME EGGS TAKEN OUT OF ME

AND VINCE HAS TO DONATE SOME SPERM,

SO TONI IS HERE AND MY MOMMA FLEW IN FROM ATLANTA.

LIKE THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING INSIDE OF MY BODY

TO TAKE SOMETHING OUT-- IT'S A LITTLE SCARY.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CAN'T HAVE WATER

AFTER 12 O'CLOCK-- WHAT THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT?

BECAUSE THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING IN YOUR STOMACH

TO REGURGITATE WHEN THEY DO THIS STUFF.

I DON'T NEED TO HAVE TUBE, THOUGH.

I KNOW [indistinct ].

THEY HAVE THE BREATHING MACHINE--

THERE'S A BREATHING MACHINE-- - TONI.

YOU ARE NOT DR. TONI, OKAY?

I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW. - I AM NOT-NOT DR. TONI.

OF COURSE I CAME HERE TODAY

BECAUSE I KNOW TAMAR NEEDS MY SUPPORT.

I'M THE OLDER SISTER, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT TONI,

DR. TONI KNOWS BEST.

GIVE ME YOUR PURSE-- YOU DON'T NEED YOUR PURSE.

- CHAPSTICK-- - GIVE ME YOUR EARRINGS.

YOU CAN'T HAVE EARRINGS IN SURGERY.

- I CAN. - NO, YOU CANNOT.

TAMAR.

GIVE ME YOUR EARRINGS.

SHE'S TRYING TO GO INTO SURGERY WITH EARRINGS.

- NO-- NO, RIGHT-- - NO.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

WHAT'S TAKIN' YOU SO LONG?

EVERYBODY WANT THEM?

NO, GIVE THEM TO YOUR HUSBAND.

LEAVE YOUR JACKET.

I'M JUST GOING TO FOLD IT, TONI.

I JUST DON'T, YOU KNOW--

YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE NERVOUS,

- YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT. - YOU MAKE ME NERVOUS.

PLEASE GIVE HER THE COCKTAIL.

HI, I'M READY.

OKAY, I CANNOT BELIEVE I'M FIXIN' TO SAY THIS,

BUT I CANNOT WAIT TO GET INTO SURGERY

SO I CAN GET AWAY FROM DR. TONI'S ASS RIGHT NOW.

I NEED TO BE CALM AND RELAXED

AND SHE'S WORRYING THE HELL OUT OF ME ABOUT EVERYTHING.

DID SHE GO BACK YET?

NO, SHE'S IN THE BATHROOM.

DOES SHE HAVE TO GO POO?

NO, SHE HAD TO CHANGE HER GOWN.

OH, 'CAUSE SHE GETS NERVOUS.

HEY, CHASE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK HERE?

GOOD GOSH!

I JUST CAME TO CHECK ON YOU.

I'M FINE, TONI!

SHE CAME TO GIVE YOU A BIG HUG.

I DON'T HAVE A TUBE DOWN MY THROAT, RIGHT?

YOU DO NOT.

BINGO-- TOLD YOU.

SHE'LL BE AWAKE AND TALKING TO ME

WITHIN FIVE MINUTES AFTER THE PROCEDURE.

- OH, OKAY. - GREAT.

I GUESS DR. TONI ISN'T ALWAYS RIGHT, IS SHE?

TAMAR, YOU KNOW I HATE THAT STUFF ON YOUR FACE.

- HEY, DAD. - HEY.

- DAD, HOW ARE YOU? - I'M GOOD.

- HEY, YOU. - HOW YOU DOING?

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT.

MY EX HUSBAND FLEW IN INFORM MARYLAND.

HE WANTED TO SURPRISE TAMAR,

SO I'M QUITE SURE THAT TAMAR WILL BE HAPPY ABOUT IT,

HOWEVER, HE'S NOT MY FAVORITE PERSON-- LET'S KEEP IT REAL.

MY ONLY CONCERN WITH TAMAR WITH THE BABY IS,

TAMAR FORGET THINGS.

- NO, SHE-- - SHE'LL LEAVE THE BABY

IN THE-IN THE BACK-SEAT OF THE CAR.

- NO. - LEAVE IT AT THE AIRPORT--

- WELL, MOTHERHOOD-- - HE SAID THE SAME THING

ABOUT YOU, REMEMBER? - BUT I DIDN'T LOSE MY BABIES.

YOU DID LOSE YOUR TELEPHONE.

WHERE YOU TELEPHONE-- WHERE YOU TELEPHONE?

- I DON'T KNOW. - SEE?

I ALWAYS LOSE MY PHONE.

I AM SUPER EXCITED TO AUDITION THE BACKGROUND DANCERS

FOR MY MUSIC VIDEO, "PARTY OR GO HOME",

IT'S DIRECTED BY DEREK BLANKS

AND CHOREOGRAPHED BY VICTOR JACKSON

WHO'S ALSO WORKED WITH LIL' WAYNE,

AND DOMINIQUE AND NOW TRINA BRAXTON.

THANK YOU.

CAN THEY BE NAKED?

LIKE HALF NAKED WITH NO SHIRT ON?

- THAT'S COOL. - I THINK THAT'S FUN.

- YEAH. - YES!

I THINK IT SHOULD BE JUST A PARTY.

BASICALLY, LIGHTS ALL OVER. - I WANT THEM TO HAVE NO SHIRTS.

NO SHIRTS. - OKAY.

SO DON'T LOOK AT US, DON'T SMILE AT US,

DON'T TRY TO GIVE US THE SEXY EYES.

DANCE-- LET'S SEE YOU DANCE.

OKAY, WE'VE CERTAINLY GOT SOME CHARACTERS,

AND THEY THINK THEY'RE WORKING IT.

THEY'RE WORKING IT ALL RIGHT OKAY-- DON'T BE SHY NOW.

THANK YOU, ALL, SO MUCH.

NOW I THINK-- I MEAN, WOULD YOU SAY LIKE

FIFTY PEOPLE WOULD BE ENOUGH?

- SO, 50 IS IDEAL? - FIFTY IS IDEAL.

SO, HOW MANY DO WE HAVE RIGHT NOW?

- I GOT 32 "YES." - 18-- I HAVE 24.

YOU HAVE A HECK OF A LOT OF YES'S.

I MEAN, WE ON THE SAME PAGE IT SEEMS LIKE--

- YEAH. - I'M JUST THINKING VISUALLY.

I'M THINKING ABOUT JUST FILLING THE SPACE,

BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT--

EVERYBODY'S NOT GONNA BE IN THE SHOT.

ALL SPACE IS NOT GOOD SPACE.

- WELL, I HAVE TO RUN. - OKAY.

- LET'S STICK WITH MY 25-- - AND I FEEL LIKE YOU--

MY 25 ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE.

VICTOR ACTUALLY HAD TO LEAVE REHEARSAL EARLY

SO HE COULD GO AND WORK WITH THE PROFESSIONAL DANCERS,

AND THE LOVELY RECO HAS FILLED IN

TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE US THE FINAL PICKS.

AND WE ALL KNOW THAT RECO IS JUST SUPER EAGER

TO GIVE HIS TWO-CENTS WORTH.

GO, GO, GO!

BESIDES LOOKING FOR SOME FUN BACKGROUND DANCERS,

I'M ALSO LOOKING FOR A YUMMY LITTLE PIECE OF MAN CANDY

THAT I CAN BUMP AND GRIND WITH AS MY LEADING MAN.

MAYBE NOT TOO MUCH GRIND, NOT TOO MUCH BUMP,

MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF TONGUE ACTION,

BUT IT'S JUST FOR THE VIDEO.

UM, NUMBER 46, IF YOU COULD STAY FOR JUST A SECOND.

THANK YOU, VERY MUCH.

OKAY, I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A LEADING MALE...

I KNEW GABE WAS GONNA COME IN AND CHECK ON ME.

SO I DECIDED I'M GOING TO MESS WITH HIM A LITTLE BIT,

BUT NOT TOO MUCH, BECAUSE I STILL NEED TO MAKE A WITHDRAWAL

FROM THE GABE FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN

TO HELP FINANCE MY VIDEO.

OKAY, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT, UM, TOUCHING,

NOT IN A VULGAR WAY,

MAYBE A SIMPLE, VERY, VERY PLATONIC KISS.

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?

THAT'S FINE.

YOU'D BE OKAY WITH LIKE AN ONSCREEN KISS,

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. - YES, THAT'S FINE.

OKAY-- LET ME SEE.

THIS IS CUTE.

I TOLD ANDRE I WAS GOING OUT ON A BLIND DATE.

AH-- NO YOU DIDN'T-- WHAT'D HE SAY?

- WELL, GOOD FOR YOU. - NO, HE DIDN'T.

WHEN YOU GONNA PUT THE BABIES IN?

I THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE SOME OF THE PRESSURE OFF, SO.

OKAY.

LET

LET ME

AND SOFT LIPS!

SOUNDS GREAT TO ME.

OKAY.

- THAT WAS SERIOUS. - I'M JUST CURIOUS JUST...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING OUT.

WE'LL CALL YOU.

HE IS A Y-E-S.

DO I GET TO KISS WHATEVER WOMAN I GET TO FEEL LIKE KISSIN'?

OH, !

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, IT'S GABE.

I KNEW HE WAS GONNA POP IN TO CHECK ON ME.

SO I'M GONNA TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MESS WITH HIM

JUST A LITTLE BIT.

CAN Y'ALL BRING IN LIKE A LINE OF WOMEN,

SO I CAN KISS ON THEM, TOO.

I BEG YOUR PARDON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

ARE YOU AUDITIONING?

NO, I'M NOT AUDITIONING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT AUDITIONING?

I NEED A LEAD MAN.

MY RETAINER'S IN MY MOUTH AND EVERYTHING.

THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE?

TO BRING YOU SOME MONEY.

IT WAS EXTREMELY NICE FOR GABE TO BECOME AN INVESTOR

FOR MY MUSIC VIDEO, AND I APPRECIATE IT, I DO.

BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT GABE IS HOPING FOR US

TO GET CLOSER TOGETHER AND HE'S VERY JEALOUS.

BUT I CANNOT BE WORRIED ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW, GABE,

I HAVE TO FOCUS ON THIS MUSIC VIDEO.

THE LEADING GUY, WE JUST NEED TO DO A SCENE WITH HIM,

MAYBE THE DAY BEFORE.

I NEED TO-- I NEED TO SEE HIM BECAUSE WE CANNOT--

WE CAN'T JUST SAY, "OKAY, THIS IS THE LEADING GUY,"

AND I DIDN'T SEE HIM, I HAVE NO CHEMISTRY AND I DIDN'T--

YOU KNOW-- AND HE WASN'T-- YOU KNOW, RIGHT, YOU KNOW?

YEAH, GREAT MAKE OUT SCENE.

- OKAY, COOL. - THERE'S A MAKE OUT SCENE?

- MAKE-OUT SCENE? - YEAH.

BUT WHY ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT

THERE'S A MAKE OUT SCENE.

HEY, WAIT, IS THERE A MAKE OUT SCENE?

- YEAH. - YES.

- THERE IS? - YES.

DID YOU KISS THAT GUY WHEN HE CAME UP TO YOU?

I AIN'T KISSING YOU ON YOUR LIPS NO MORE.

TALK ABOUT MY PENIS.

I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO KEEP IT CUTE AND PUT IT ON MUTE.

EVERYBODY ALREADY SEEN HIS PENIS.

OH!

GABE, I APOLOGIZE FOR LAUGHING AT YOUR EXPENSE,

WELL, ACTUALLY, NO I'M NOT-- BECAUSE THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY.

ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING.

ALL RIGHT, THANKS FOR COMING THOUGH.

THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.

I THANK YOU FOR BEING, UH, UNBIASED.

LEAVE A LITTLE SPOT RIGHT THERE FOR ME TO KISS.

HA-HA-HA-- YOU ACT LIKE I'VE BEEN KISSING ON MEN

ALL DAY LONG.

THANKS FOR BEING UNBIASED, OKAY.

YOU TALKIN' ABOUT ME SHOWIN' MY ON CAMERA,

AND YOU KISSIN' PEOPLE.

OH, MY GOSH!

THE WORLD HAS SEEN IT, SO WHO CARES?

WE CAN COME IN.

OKAY, TAMAR'S PROCURE'S FINALLY DONE AND SHE'S WAKING UP

AND I KNOW SHE'S VERY BUZZED.

I KIND OF WANNA MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS THAT WE'RE THERE.

- THEY HAVE SIX EGGS! - SIX EGGS!

IT'S AMAZING.

WHEN YOU GOING TO PUT THE BABIES IN?

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK YOU HAVE TIME.

WHY DON'T YOU WANNA PUT THEM IN NOW?

LIKE NEXT MONTH?

LET'S TAKE SOME OF THE PRESSURE OFF.

HE'S LIKE, "NOT NOW, FOCUS, TONI-- NOT NOW."

OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

I THINK GOING THROUGH FERTILITY TREATMENTS

VERY HIGH STRESS LEVEL.

IT'S THE SAME STRESS AS GOING THROUGH CANCER TREATMENT.

OKAY.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF THE BURDEN FALLS

ON THE WOMAN, SO I THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE

SOME OF THE PRESSURE OFF.

OKAY.

FINALLY, A REAL DOCTOR PUT DR. TONI IN HER PLACE, OKAY?

WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU'LL KNOW WHEN THE TIME'S RIGHT.

YOU'LL KNOW.

HOW ARE VINCENT'S SCUBA DIVERS?

WE'LL FIND OUT IN A FEW HOURS.

TOMORROW, MY EGGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FERTILIZED

WITH MY BABY DADDY'S SPERM AND THE GOAL IS TO GET

AS MANY BABY EMBRYOS AS POSSIBLE TO PUT IN THE FREEZER

UNTIL I'M READY.

I MEAN, WHICH COULD BE LIKE 15, 20 YEARS FROM NOW,

SO THAT MEANS I CAN HAVE MY BABIES IN YEAR 2045

IF I WANT TO.

TONI, WATCH MY MAMMA'S FOOT!

I CAN SEE THAT!

MOMMY, DID IT HIT YOUR FOOT?

- ALMOST. - DON'T BE THE PILOT.

I'M OKAY-- TRUST ME.

YOU WANNA PUT THIS ON?

OKAY.

I THINK I CAN WALK FROM HERE.

- THE NURSE SAID, "NO". - SHE SAID "NO," SWEETIE.

- ALL THE WAY OUT. - JUST STI-- JUST, OKAY.

JUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU'LL BE DROPPING IT LIKE IT'S HOT IN NO DAYS.

YEAH.

JUST LET MISS DAISY PUSH YOU.

IT AIN'T LIKE SHE GOT MUCH IN HERE.

I BEG YOUR PARDON!

WHO SAID "IT'S NOT LIKE SHE HAS MUCH IN HERE?"

I DID NOT SAY THAT OUT LOUD.

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY?

I THOUGHT I SAID IT IN MY HEAD.

WELL, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY KNOWS IF I WANNA LOOK DIRTY

AND SEXY I NEED TO GO INTO TRINA'S CLOSET BECAUSE

DIRTY AND SEXY IS TRINA'S MIDDLE NAME.

BUT I HAVE TO WEAR A BRA BECAUSE MY, UM, BOOBS

AREN'T THAT LARGE.

I HAVE, UM, THE-THE STICKY PASTIES.

IT'S GONNA MAKE MY BOOBS LOOK BIG?

NO, TOWANDA.

I WANT MY BOOBS TO LOOK BIG.

I'M NOT NO MAGICIAN.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?

I'M SAYING YOU GOT LITTLE BOOBIES.

SEE, TRINA, THAT WAS-- NOW THAT WAS A LOW BLOW.

TOWANDA, I HAD LITTLE BOOBS, I HAD TO GO BUY MINE!

I DON'T WANNA BUY ANY.

I DON'T THINK TRINA REALLY REMEMBERS WHEN SHE HAD

ITTY-BITTY BOOBIES, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS A PART OF THAT CLUB.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I'M STILL A PART OF THAT CLUB.

SHE NEEDS TO, YOU KNOW, SYMPATHIZE WITH ME A LITTLE BIT.

THIS IS CUTE.

I TOLD ANDRE I WAS GOING OUT ON A BLIND DATE.

NO, YOU DIDN'T!

WHAT'D HE SAY?

"WELL GOOD FOR YOU."

NO, HE DIDN'T, YOU'S A LYIN', THE TRUTH AIN'T IN YOU.

- I REALLY DIDN'T TELL HIM. - SO WHY YOU LIE?

"I DON'T KNOW WHY I TOLD THAT LIE".

"I DON'T KNOW WHY I TOLD THAT LIE."

I WANTED TO SEE YOUR REACTION!

YOU WANTED TO LIE.

I WANTED TO SEE YOUR REACTION.

WELL, ARE YOU GONNA TELL HIM?

FOR WHAT?

YOU DON'T THINK HE KIND OF HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW?

WHY DOES HE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW?

Y'ALL SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT TALK, "OH, BY THE WAY,

"I'M DATING OTHER PEOPLE."

YOU KNOW MOMMY KNOWS A LOT OF PEOPLE,

WHAT IF SHE GOT IN CONTACT WITH HILL HARPER, TOWANDA?

I'D PROBABLY WALK IN AND WALK OUT.

YOU WOULD STAND HIM UP?

I MEAN, NOT-NOT LITERALLY STAND HIM UP

BUT I WOULD STAND MYSELF UP.

WHAT?

EVEN IF I GO OUT ON A DATE WITH HILL HARPER,

I'M NOT MARRYING HIM TOMORROW, I HAVE TO GET TO KNOW HIM,

AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO DO THE DO-NOT DO-NOT,

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

IT'S GONNA TAKE A LONG TIME FOR ME TO GET THAT COMFORTABLE

WITH SOMEBODY, AGAIN.

WHAT IF YOU GUYS HAVE LIKE A REAL CONNECTION?

ACT LIKE I'M HILL HARPER, "YOU KNOW WHAT, TOWANDA,

"I REALLY HAD A NICE TIME AND I WAS WATCHING

"THE WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW AND I HEARD

"THAT YOU HAD A CRUSH ON ME

"AND YOU KNOW YOUR SISTER SAID THE SAME THING,

"BUT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT THE CONNECTION THAT YOU AND I

"HAD TONIGHT AND I'M JUST WONDERING

"IF WE CAN DO THIS AGAIN?

"DO YOU THINK MAYBE WE CAN DO THIS AGAIN?"

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY WE CAN GO OUT ON ANOTHER DATE.

UH-HUH.

- THAT WHAT YOU WOULD DO? - YES!

I DON'T KISS ON THE FIRST DATE, I DON'T--

WELL JUST ACT LIKE HE WAS GONNA KISS YOU ON YOUR CHEEK.

NO.

TOWANDA, I HAD A REALLY GREAT NIGHT,

I THINK YOU'RE GREAT AND WONDERFUL.

HE AIN'T GONNA BE RUBBING UP ON--

OH-HO-- THAT'S WHAT HE WOULD DO!

BUT WHAT IF IT'S NOT HILL HARPER,

WHAT IF IT'S ANOTHER MAN?

FIRST OF ALL-- FIRST OF ALL, TRINA, LET ME JUST TELL YOU

SOMETHIN', I DON'T LIKE-- DON'T BE TOUCHIN' ON ME

LIKE THAT-- I DON'T KNOW YOU!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOUR HANDS HAVE BEEN!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOUR MOUTH HAS BEEN-- NO!

I DON'T DO ALL THAT!

OH!

YOUR HANDS ARE DIRTY!

NOW TOWANDA, THAT'S NASTY!

I AM REALLY GETTING STRESSED OUT ABOUT THIS BLIND DATE THING,

AND TRINA'S GOT ME REALLY WORKED UP

AND I USUALLY DON'T GET WORKED UP ABOUT STUFF.

I JUST THINK THAT MOMMY'S TRYING TO SET ME UP

WITH THE ELEPHANT MAN OR SOMETHING.

- HERE WE ARE. - THAT'S IT!

THANK YOU.

SOMETHING PEACH FOR YOU-- YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN BRING FOR YOU

AT THE MOMENT WHILE YOU WAIT?

NOPE, I GUESS I SHOULD BE PROPER AND WAIT

FOR MY BLIND DATE.

YOU LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED.

- THANK YOU. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

I REALLY DON'T WANT ANYONE TO SEE ME DOING MY CHOREOGRAPHY

UNTIL I HAVE IT DONE PAT.

IT ACTUALLY MAKES ME MORE NERVOUS.

TRINA, PUT SOME FUNK IN IT.

WELL, TOWANDA, I HAVE TO LEARN IT.

STATE

STATE YOUR

STATE YOUR NAME

STATE YOUR NAME AND

STATE YOUR NAME AND WHAT

STATE YOUR NAME AND WHAT YOU

STATE YOUR NAME AND WHAT YOU DO.

MY NAME IS RECO AND I'M A DANCER.

LET'S SEE WHAT YOU DO.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR BAR MITZVAHS.

I'M SO GLAD YOU WERE HIRED FOR WARDROBE!

WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

HI.

YOU'RE MY BLIND DATE?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YES, I AM YOUR BLIND DATE.

DID I BLIND YOU?

OH, MY GOD!

I'M GONNA CALL MOMMY.

I'M CALLING MOMMY.

YOU SET ME UP WITH ANDRE, MOMMY?

I STUFFED MY BRA FOR ANDRE?

I COULD'VE BEEN HOME ALL NIGHT WITH MY LITTLE BULLET

AND SOME DOUBLE A BATTERIES!

FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA THANK YOUR MOM FOR SETTING US UP

AND SUGGESTING THIS.

IT WAS REALLY A NICE GESTURE FROM HER BECAUSE SHE REALIZES

HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.

SHE REALIZES HOW MUCH I CARE FOR YOU

AND SHE REALIZES HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME, ALSO.

I MEAN YOU-YOU-- YOU'RE A GOOD WOMAN, TOWANDA,

YOU'RE SPECIAL, JUST A SPECIAL PERSON.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY REALIZES THAT,

AND I'M BEGINNING TO REALIZE IT MORE AND MORE

EVERY TIME THAT I'M WITH YOU,

YOU JUST SI-- I APPRECIATE YOU

AND I JUST WANNA SHOW YOU SOME--

SOME TYPE OF APPRECIATION BY TAKING YOU OUT.

ANDRE IS-- HE'S LAYING IT ON PRETTY THICK

HAVING DINNER WITH ME, I TELL YOU.

HE-- HE MUST REALLY BE LISTENING TO A LOT OF TEDDY P,

AND HUMPING ON A FOAM MATTRESS.

I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM NOW.

YOUR MOTHER TOLD ME THAT IT'S ALL ABOUT ROMANCE TONIGHT,

SO LET'S MAKE THIS ALL ABOUT ROMANCE.

SO I WANT YOU TO START OPENING YOUR GIFTS.

I JUST OPENED THIS ONE UP.

YOU JUST GAVE THIS ONE TO ME.

THIS WAS JUST OPENED.

NO-NO-- LET'S OPEN THE OTHER GIFTS.

OH, THAT'S ADORABLE.

THIS IS FOR OUR NICE SUPPLE BATH I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU.

ALL RIGHT, I LIKE TO RUB YOUR FEET.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU HAVE TO BE TOTALLY NUDE.

I WOULD JUST WANNA RUB YOUR FEET.

HERE, YOU CAN RUB 'EM NOW.

YOU WANNA RUB 'EM NOW?

YEAH, YOU WANT ME TO RUB 'EM NOW?

- NO, WE'RE IN A RESTAURANT. - OKAY.

THIS, IS YOUR FAVORITE CHOCOLATES...

BECAUSE YOU'RE AS SWEET AS THEY ARE.

OH, THOSE ARE NICE.

AND, THIS IS A TIARA BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO WEAR THIS

BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO-- I WANNA BE REMINDED

ABOUT THE QUEEN THAT YOU ALWAYS ARE.

I'M GONNA WEAR THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

BECAUSE YOU ARE A QUEEN TO ME,

AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY QUEEN.

- TING! - YOU LOOK GREAT.

- THANK YOU FOR MY GIFTS. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

I HAVE TO ADMIT, I AM REALLY ENJOYING BEING WINED AND DINED

BECAUSE THIS HASN'T HAPPENED IN A VERY LONG TIME FOR ME.

BUT, I KNOW THAT ANDRE HAS A LITTLE BIT

OF A HIDDEN AGENDA GOING ON.

HE PROBABLY...

NEEDS SOME...

SO HE'S...

REALLY POURING IT ON.

ARE YOU DOING ALL OF THIS 'CAUSE YOU WANNA GET LAID?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

THAT WOULD BE HARD TO DO WITH YOU.

YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.

I MEAN, AIN'T NO PRETTY MUCH, IT JUST IS,

AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

WHY?

BECAUSE I KNOW AIN'T NOBODY ELSE GETTING IT.

CAN WE HAVE A TOAST TO THE HEALING PROCESS?

TO REJUVENATING THIS MARRIAGE?

ARE YOU GONNA TOAST?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA TOAST?

TO THE HEALING PROCESS?

ANDRE IS SAYING ALL THE THINGS THAT HE THINKS

THAT I WANNA HEAR, BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE WORDS,

IT'S ABOUT THE ACTIONS AND I HAVE TO ACTUALLY SEE HIM

PUT IT INTO ACTION AND UNTIL THAT HAPPENS

HE IS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO RUB MY TOES

OR ANYTHING ELSE.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

- 'BOUT TIME. - 'BOUT TIME, YOU.

TODAY, I AM MEETING VICTOR TO GO OVER THE CHOREOGRAPHY

AND I'M TERRIFIED.

I AM CHOREOGRAPHICALLY CHALLENGED BUT I CANNOT HAVE

THESE DANCERS LOOKING BETTER THAN ME, NO, SIR.

HERE WE GO, FROM THE BEGINNING, PLEASE.

HERE WE GO.

TWO-THREE--

- WAIT-- - KEEP YOUR FEET TOGETHER.

THERE YOU GO, FEET TOGETHER, FROM THE TOP.

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, DOWN YOUR BODY, TWO, THREE, FOUR,

FIVE-- UH-HUH - FOUR.

- FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT-- - OH, .

NOPE.

- FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT-- - OH, .

I DON'T KNOW WHY I WANNA STEP UP.

RIGHT THERE.

I CAN DO IT NOW WHEN WE'RE GOING SLOW.

SLOW, OKAY.

I JUST HAVE TO GET IT IN MY BODY.

UH, MY LEG IS STILL WRONG.

OKAY, I KNOW THAT I'M NORMALLY JUST A LITTLE SLOW

WHEN IT COMES TO CHOREOGRAPHY

BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS, IT'S NOT EVEN THAT HARD,

I THINK I MIGHT JUST BE A LITTLE TIRED.

NOW LET'S KEEP YOUR CHIN DOWN, TOO.

CHIN DOWN.

- HEY! - LOOK WHO DECIDED TO SHOW UP.

- YOU LOOK LIKE FOXY CLEOPATRA! - I'M A WHOLE LOT OF WOMAN.

YEAH!

HI, GUYS!

OKAY, IT WAS REALLY NICE THAT TOWANDA AND DEREK

CAME TO SEE MY REHEARSAL, BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT

ANYONE TO SEE ME DOING MY CHOREOGRAPHY

UNTIL I HAVE IT DOWN PAT.

IT ACTUALLY MAKES ME MORE NERVOUS.

STEP TWO, STEP TURN.

SHAKE IT UP, SHAKE IT UP, SHAKE IT UP.

STEP-STEP-STEP.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE JUST REHEARSING NOW OR NOT

BUT BE MINDFUL OF YOUR FACE.

I DON'T KNOW THE MOVES YET.

BUT WHEN YOU KNOW IT, YOU'RE GONNA BE--

I'M GONNA BE SMILING.

IF WE COULD GO THROUGH IT LIKE SLOW MOTION

WITHOUT ANY MUSIC.

- OKAY. - LET'S ROCK IT.

- I'M GONNA LET Y'ALL GO. - HUH?

- I'M ABOUT TO HIT THE ROAD. - THANKS, D-MAN.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

YOU'LL DO GREAT.

- I HAVE TO-- HAVE NO CHOICE. - ALL RIGHT, VICTOR.

- ALL RIGHT, DEREK. - KILL IT!

- TRY TO. - YOU'LL BE GREAT.

HERE WE GO.

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN-- SLOW AND OPEN, AND CLOSE,

AND OPEN AND-- - TRINA, PUT SOME FUNKY IN IT.

WELL, TOWANDA, I HAVE TO LEARN IT.

THE STAND OFF.

RIGHT, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IT YET.

WELL CAN YOU NOT SEE THE WHOLE THING?

CAN YOU PUT SOME SLINK IN IT?

OKAY, I MEAN, AH...

YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT TRINA'S NOT THE DANCER

OF THE FAMILY.

'CAUSE SHE IS STIFF AS A BOARD.

YOU GOTTA PUT SOME STINK ON IT.

YOU GOT TO WORK IT IN.

YOU GOT TO MAKE-- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

YOU GOTTA PUSH IT OUT.

CAN I SEE YOU PUT SOME STANK ON IT, PLEASE?

WELL, YES, I DON'T HAVE STANK-ARIZATION YET,

BUT OKAY.

WELL PRETEND.

WELL JUST PRETEND YOU'RE PUTTIN' STINK ON IT.

ALL RIGHT, HIT ME AGAIN IKE AND PUT SOME STANK ON IT!

EIGHT, STEP-STEP-STEP-STEP-TURN--

WHAPPA-DE-WHAPPA.-- - AND A SNAP.

WAS THAT WRONG?

RIGHT ABOUT NOW, I'M REALLY STARTING TO WORRY,

FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT A FAST LEARNER

AND I NEED MORE TIME TO LEARN THESE MOVES

AND I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE TIME.

MY VIDEO IS NEXT WEEK,

SO LORD PLEASE MAKE ME A BETTER DANCER

AND PUT A LITTLE BIT MORE STANK ON IT!

YES.

I'M GONNA LET YOU GUYS CONCENTRATE ON THE MOVES

SO TRINA CAN FEEL IT IN HER SKIN.

OKAY.

YEAH, SO GIVE ME HUGS AND KISSES.

- I'M A LITTLE SWEATY. - THAT'S OKAY.

- CAN I BORROW THAT OUTFIT? - SURE.

"WE BE KIN NOW".

- LOVE YOU. - LOVE YOU-- I'M PROUD OF YOU.

THANK YOU-- THANK YOU FOR COMIN' BY.

- SURE. - ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES."

YOU CAN LET YOUR GUARD DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT SOMETIMES,

TOWANDA.

YOU'RE A STONE-- YOU'RE A STONE.

I'M NOT A STONE.

- HARD. - NO, I'M NOT A STONE.

IF YOU DIDN'T STILL LOVE HIM,

WHY HAVEN'T YOU DATED ANYBODY?

TOWANDA'S

TOWANDA'S HANGIN'

TOWANDA'S HANGIN' OUT

TOWANDA'S HANGIN' OUT WITH

TOWANDA'S HANGIN' OUT WITH ME

WHILE WE WAIT FOR MOMMY TO GET HERE

TO WATCH THE KIDS SO I CAN GO TO REHEARSAL.

WELL, ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE WAY THAT THINGS

ARE GOIN' SO FAR?

TOWANDA, IT'S NOT THAT IT'S NOT GOIN' GREAT,

IT'S JUST THAT MY IDEAS ARE MUCH LARGER THAN MY FINANCES.

EVEN THOUGH GABE HAS AGREED TO BE AN INVESTOR IN THE VIDEO,

I'M STILL PAYING FOR A MAJORITY OF IT MYSELF

AND THE BILLS JUST KEEP WRACKING UP.

IT'S JUST A LOT OF MONEY, AND I WOULD LOVE FOR TRACI

TO BE IN IT-- I JUST-- - WHY DON'T YOU CALL HER

AND ASK HER-- - I WOULD CALL HER AND ASK HER

BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THE PLANE TICKET.

YOU CAN'T COME AND ASK SOMEBODY TO BE IN YOUR VIDEO--

WELL HOW ABOUT I'LL FLY TRACI DOWN.

- WOULD YOU REALLY? - I'LL PUT-- YES, I PROMISE.

I KNOW THAT TRINA IS EXTREMELY STRESSED

FOR HER VIDEO, SO I FIGURE THAT I SHOULD VOLUNTEER

TO FLY TRACI DOWN, YOU KNOW,

JUST BECAUSE SHE NEEDS A LOT OF SUPPORT RIGHT NOW,

SO THAT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO.

- HEY YOU. - HEY, MOMMY.

MOMMY JUST GOT BACK FROM TAMAR'S PROCEDURE IN LA,

AND I FEEL REALLY BAD THAT I COULDN'T BE THERE.

BUT, VINCE IS FLYING A BUNCH OF US OUT THIS WEEKEND

AND I'LL GET TO SEE HER THEN.

- Y'ALL, I HAVE TO GO. - WHERE YOU GOIN'?

I HAVE TO GO TO CHOREOGRAPHY, MOM,

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE!

- I KNOW BUT-- GO AHEAD-- - WHOA-WHOA--

BEFORE TRINA LEAVES, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT MY DATE.

MY BLIND DATE.

AH... YES!

AND MOMMY WAS GOING TO SET YOU UP--

YOU HAD A BLIND DATE, TOWANDA--

YOU KNOW SHE HAD A BLIND DATE,

'CAUSE I HEARD YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SET IT UP.

IS THAT TRUE?

YES.

WHAT, WHAT, WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, IT WAS ANDRE, OF COURSE YOU ALREADY KNOW.

ANDRE WHO?

JUST TOOK HIS HEART OUT HIS CHEST

AND SQUEEZE ALL THE BLOOD IN A GLASS

AND JUST POURED IT ALL OUT.

HE POURED OUT HIS HEART.

YOU DO KNOW THAT'S SUPER SWEET.

ANDRE LOVES YOU.

I DIDN'T SAY THAT HE DIDN'T, I MEAN, I KNOW.

UH-OH!

WHY YOU SO HARD-NOSED ALL THE TIME?

I CAN'T HELP IT.

YOU CAN-- YOU CAN LET YOUR GUARD DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT

SOMETIMES, TOWANDA, EVERYTHING DOESN'T ALWAYS

HAVE TO BE SO CALCULATED AND JUST SO FRICKIN'--

- SURE IT DOES-- - YOU'RE A STONE!

- I'M NOT A STONE! - YOU'RE HARD!

NO, I'M NOT A STONE.

IF YOU DIDN'T STILL LOVE HIM,

WHY HAVEN'T YOU DATED ANYBODY?

BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN.

NO, THE CHILDREN DON'T HAVE TO SEE.

YOU CAN GET A SITTER AND GO OUT AND DATE PEOPLE, TOWANDA.

THE PROBLEM IS THIS...

TOWANDA, IS WEARING A SHIELD.

AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHY SHE'S WEARING THAT SHIELD,

BECAUSE YOU KNOW TEETH AND TONGUE FALLS OUT.

MOMMY, WE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK ON

YOUR LITTLE COLLOQUIALISMS.

NO-NO-- I'M GONNA BREAK IT DOWN TO YOU.

'CAUSE YOU ALL KNOW IT TAKES ME A SECOND TO GET IT.

GO AHEAD, BREAK IT DOWN.

SOMETIMES THE TEETH WILL BITE THE TONGUE

AND SO THEREFORE,

THE TONGUE IS VERY MINDFUL OF THE TEETH--

I MEAN, DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SPEAK IN PARABOLS?

JESUS.

WELL THAT'S WHAT I GREW UP WITH, I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER--

THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

MY THING IS YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE ME OUT ON ONE BLIND DATE

AND THINK THAT EVERY THING'S GONNA CHANGE.

- YEAH. - THAT'S TRUE.

THAT'S NOT GOING-- THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK FOR ME.

THAT'S TRUE-- I FEEL THAT.

HE HAS TO CONSTANTLY WOO YOU.

- YES! - THANK YOU!

WOO ME!

- YES. - OKAY.

DATE ME AGAIN-- TRY TO DATE ME AGAIN.

YES!

I'M GLAD THAT MY FAMILY WANTS ME TO GIVE ANDRE

A SECOND CHANCE, I MEAN THAT'S GREAT.

HOWEVER, COMMA, I NEED FOR ANDRE TO JUST SHOW ME,

DON'T JUST SAY IT, JUST SHOW ME YOUR ACTIONS PLEASE.

- I HAVE TO GO. - RIGHT.

MEET YOU AT CHOREOGRAPHY.

YEAH, Y'ALL HAVE TO GO.

MOM, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA COOK FOR THE BOYS?

I DON'T KNOW, I'M GONNA TAKE 'EM OUT.

- OH. - OKAY.

- YEAH, I'M TAKIN' THEM OUT. - SEE YA, TEETH.

- LOVE YOU GUYS! - SEE YA LATER.

- TAKE CARE. - THANK YOU AGAIN!

I'M EXCITED!

I LOVE BOATS!

THAT'S A LOVELY BOAT!

IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF DAYS SINCE THE INVASION

OF THE EGG SNATCHERS, SO I INVITED MY MOM,

AND MY DAD, TONI, TOWANDA, TRACI AND TRINA--

WELL, TOWANDA COULDN'T COME BECAUSE HER DAUGHTER

GOT SICK, SO EVERYBODY ELSE CAME OUT

AND VINCENT AND I CHARTERED A YACHT

TO HAVE A NICE QUIET FAMILY DINNER TO CELEBRATE.

DADDY, HOW YOU FEELING ABOUT BEING AROUND YOUR GIRLS?

I'M JUST GLAD I GOT THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS IN THE WORLD.

I DON'T BLAME YOU, BECAUSE IF I HAD A DAUGHTER

WHO LOOKED LIKE ME...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD A DAUGHTER LIKE YOU?

I GOT FIVE KIDS IN THE FREEZER, I AM JUST FINE.

OH, THEY GOT FIVE EGGS, THAT'S RIGHT, FIVE.

HEALTHY, HEALTHY.

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MANY.

CHILLING IN THE FREEZER, SO THEREFORE, I'M GONNA NEED

FIVE MOTHER'S DAY CARDS AND FIVE GIFTS FROM MY HUSBAND

BECAUSE WE HAVE FIVE KIDS TOGETHER.

YOU DON'T GET THAT UNTIL YOU GIVE BIRTH.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE BABIES YET.

YOU'RE NOT A MOTHER YET.

MY KIDS ARE IN THE FREEZER!

THEY ARE WELL AND INTACT!

TAMAR SOUNDS RIDICULOUS,

SHE DESERVES A MOTHER'S DAY PRESENT,

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS.

I MEAN, SHE'S A MOTHER, ALL RIGHT, AT TIMES,

BUT, SHE SOUNDS RIDICULOUS.

VINCE, WHEN YOU THINK Y'ALL BE READY?

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M READY FOR SOME NEW NEPHEWS AND NIECES.

I JUST THOUGHT I AGREED TO HAVE A BABY,

NOT THAT I NEED TO HAVE A BABY RIGHT NOW,

BUT I'M FINE WITH THE SITUATION.

YOU KNOW?

MY BABIES ARE COMFORTABLY SITTING

IN A NICE LARGE FREEZER... WAITING.

WHEN YOU GOING TO TAKE 'EM OUT OF THE FREEZER

AND PUT 'EM IN THE OVEN?

WHENEVER THE LORD LEAVES.

THE LORD IS LEAVING RIGHT NOW.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEM BABIES WHOOP HER ASS.

SHE'S GONNA BE LIKE, "OH MY GOD,

"THEY DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT THIS-- AH!"

WHY-- WHAT?

YOU GOTTA CHANGE THE DIAPER AGAIN?

HONEY, AH!

YOU CAN'T PEE IN THIS ...

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT DAY THAT SHE CALL ME

AND ASK ME TO WATCH HER KIDS

'CAUSE I'M GONNA SAY TO HER,

"OKAY, TAMAR, I'LL WATCH 'EM,"

AND I'LL NEVER SHOW UP.

YOU GONNA PUT ALL FIVE OF THEM IN AT THE SAME TIME?

I'M GONNA LEAVE ONE JUST IN CASE, YOU KNOW, GOD FORBID,

TIMES GET TOUGH, I CAN SELL IT.

WHAT?

WE GET A LOT OF MONEY FOR THAT.

ME AND VINCE BABY.

WHAT YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, THAT'S LIKE PRINCE AND MADONNA.

- PRINCE AND MADONNA? - YEAH, GIRL!

GIRL, YOU BETTER GET YOUR LIFE.
