I'M THINK I'M GONNA HAVE THIS CARAMEL.

I DON'T THINK YOU ARE.

SHE EATS HORRIBLY.

YOU GOT CAKE!

THAT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY.

HEY-HEY-HEY.

THAT'S NOT CUTE.

YOU HAVE NERVE, GOAL, AND AUDACITY.

DON'T BE MAD, IT IS A LITTLE SAMPLE-ISH.

I ALREADY SEE THIS TAKIN' PLACE.

YOU DON'T SEE THAT WITH THIS.

YES.

- CAN I SEE THE GOLD DRESS. - THE GOLD DRESS-- NO.

I'M JUST PAYING THE BILLS.

HEY, WAIT-- WHOA, WHOA.

I'M PAYIN'.

OH-OH, I'M PAYIN'. - TRINA.

WE ARE THE BRAXTONS

AND YOU'LL THAT WE ARE NOT LIKE AN ORDINARY FAMILY

TONI TRACI TOWANDA TRINA TAMAR AND MISS E

WILL TEACH YOU A THING OR TWO ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"

IT'S ME.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU COME ON IN THEN, TRA.

- HI! - HI, BABY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, TRI-TRI.

- HOW WAS YOUR FLIGHT. - IT WAS GOOD.

I HAD SOMEBODY TALK TO ME THE WHOLE DAMN TIME.

MY WHOLE GOD DANG'ALL FLIGHT.

I WAS LIKE, "OOH, WILL YOU PLEASE BE QUIET?

"I'M TRYIN' TO SIP ON MY LIQUORS."

TRACI CAME TO TOWN TO BE IN MY MUSIC VIDEO,

"PARTY OR GO HOME", WHICH WE ARE SHOOTING IN A FEW DAYS.

BUT, AFTER I CALLED HER, I REALIZED

THAT SHE'S GONNA BE HERE FOR HER BIRTHDAY.

OOPS.

IT DIDN'T DAWN IN ME, TRACI. - IT'S OKAY.

YOU KNOW, HOW SOMETIMES MY MIND HAS SLIPPERIZATION

GOIN' ON. - IT'S OKAY.

- OKAY. - I HAD NOTHIN' BUT TIME.

- YOU SO SILLY. - REALLY, I DID, BUT YEAH.

YEAH, I'M EXCITED.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN

ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S MY FIRST ONE.

I AM VERY EXCITED, BUT I'M ALSO NERVOUS

BECAUSE I HAVE A WHOLE LOT ON THE LINE.

AND, THIS VIDEO'S GONNA BE FANTASTIC PROMOTION

FOR MY SINGLE.

BUT, IF IT'S NOT GREAT, IT'S A WASTE OF TIME

AND A WHOLE LOTTA MONEY.

- YES, I'M EXCITED FOR YOU. - LOOK IT, I GOT TALONS ON.

- YEAH. - I DIDN'T COLOR THEM YET.

I'M WAITING UNTIL WE GET THERE.

IT'S A LETTER OPENER.

IT SCRATCH THE HELL OUTTA SOMEBODY.

I KNOW, I WAS LIKE,

WHEN SHE PUT THEM ON, I SAID, "HOW'M I GONNA WIPE?"

RIGHT.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.

I'M JUST GLAD YOU CAME

AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO BE A PART.

I'M NERVOUS BUT I'M HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME.

YOU SHOULD BE NERVOUS, THIS IS YOUR FIRST VIDEO.

- WHO PUT ME IN A BUBBLE? - GO TRINA, GO TRINA.

TRINA, TRINA-- I'M EXCITED FOR TRINA.

I'M EXCITED THAT SHE'S DOIN' A VIDEO

AND ASKING HER SISTERS TO BE IN IT.

AND, I'M-I'M HONORED.

SO, WHAT'S THE CONCEPT, I MEAN--

UM, YOU EVER BEEN TO A CLUB BEFORE

AND YOU HAVE THOSE PEOPLE THAT'S LIKE SITTING AROUND

THE WALLS AND THEY'RE JUST KINDA WATCHING?

MM-HMM.

IT IS-- IT'S JUST ABOUT LIKE,

WE DON'T WANT THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE THERE.

OKAY.

IT'S JUST ALL ABOUT IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO HAVE A GOOD TIME,

WHAT ARE YOU THERE FOR?

- THEN TAKE YOUR ASS HOME. - EXACTLY.

THERE'RE A LOT OF SCENES, LIKE FIVE DIFFERENT SCENES.

MM-HMM.

THERE'S LIKE A DANCE SEQUENCE SCENE,

AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER SCENE

WHERE IT'S JUST LIKE A BIG 'OL PARTY.

I'M GONNA BE ON A-A ROULETTE WHEEL

AND THEY'RE GONNA SPIN ME.

YOU KNOW, I FIGURED THAT'D BE THE FIRST SCENE

THAT YOU'D BE IN.

CAN I HAVE MY CIGAR?

LET ME THINK ABOUT IT.

- OKAY. - OKAY.

I'M HERE TO MAKE TRINA'S VIDEO POPPIN'.

AND, FOR ONE THING, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A SEXY,

FOXY LADY WITH A BIG ASS CIGAR IN THE CLUB.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT TIME.

YES, A GOLD STAR FOR TRINA.

- I'M BROKE. - WOW.

IT BROKE YOU, TRINA?

IT BROKE YOUR PIGGY BANK.

I HOPE I GET A RETURN ON IT, 'CAUSE I'M BROKE.

MAKING A MUSIC VIDEO COSTS A LOT OF MONEY.

AND, SO FAR, IT'S COSTS ME UPWARDS OF $20,000

AND GABE IS HELPING, BUT IT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

SO, IT HAS TO BE GREAT.

I FIGURED IT WAS TOO LATE FOR YOU

TO BE IN THE DANCE SEQUENCE.

- OKAY, THAT'S FINE. - SO...

AS LONG AS I HAVE MY CIGAR-- CAN I HAVE MY CIGAR?

TRACI, WHY-WHY ARE YOU SO HELL BENT ON THIS CIGAR?

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, I GOTTA BE TRACI.

I FEEL LIKE DOCTOR SHERI OR SOMETHING.

I'M IN THE HOT SEAT.

- WHY YOU IN THE HOT SEAT? - THAT'S NOT A HOT SEAT.

IT'S THE GREEN SEAT.

THAT'S NOT A HOT SEAT.

TAMAR'S IN TOWN BECAUSE VINCENT HAS BUSINESS HERE.

SO, TRINA AND I DECIDE TO GO TO MOMMY'S HOUSE,

SO THAT WE CAN HANG OUT WITH HER.

TRACI HAS A BIRTHDAY COMING UP.

- YES. - SHE DOES.

SO, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

I NEVER REMEMBER HAVIN' A BIRTHDAY FOR TRACI

THAT WE ALL KINDA MADE A BIG FUSS OVER.

WE SHOULD SURPRISE TRACI.

WE SHOULD MAKE HER FEEL THAT WE'RE NOT DOING "ENTYTING,"

AS TAMAR WOULD SAY, FOR HER BIRTHDAY.

BUT, IT'S BE A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE.

LIKE, "SURPRISE!"

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.

TRACI'S NEVER HAD A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY AS--

I DON'T THINK SHE'S EVER HAD, PERIOD.

EVEN WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN.

AND, I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME SHE HAS ONE.

I'M HUNGRY-- WHO HUNGRY?

YOU THINK MOMMY'S GONNA COOK?

NO, I'VE BEEN BEGGING HER TO COOK.

SHE ACTIN' CRAZY.

WHAT YOU MEAN "ACTIN' CRAZY"?

MAYBE SHE DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE HOW SHE EATS.

SHE EATS HORRIBLY.

MOMMY'S SITUATION IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS

BECAUSE SHE'S A DIABETIC AND BEING A DIABETIC,

THERE'S CERTAIN FOODS THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT EAT.

MOMMY EATS LOTS AND LOTS OF CARBS.

THAT CARBORIZATION DEMON IS NO GOOD.

WHICH ISN'T GOOD FOR HER, BECAUSE SHE'S--

- DIABETIC. - AS PETE SAYS, DIABETIC.

DIABETICAL.

MOMMY KNOWS THAT SHE EATS THINGS AND SHOULD NOT.

LET ME TRY POTATO CHIPS.

NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE POTATO CHIPS.

I CAN'T HAVE POTATO CHIPS?

YOU KNOW I LOVE SWEET POTATOES.

MOMMA, THEY FULL OF CARBS.

EXACTLY.

YOU CAN'T HAVE DESSERT RIGHT NOW.

I CAN HAVE DESSERT, TRUST ME.

DIET COKE WITH CHERRIES, PLEASE.

- DIET COKE. - CHERRIES?

THOSE MARASCHINO CHERRIES, MOMMY, ARE SO FULL OF SUGAR.

SHE'S A DIABETIC AND I THINK THAT SOMETIMES

SHE IS IN SERIOUS DENIAL.

WELL, LET'S DISCUSS WHAT WE GONE DO OVER SOME FOOD,

'CAUSE SHE'S HUNGRY.

WHAT YOU WANT TO EAT, TAMARA?

MAYBE VODKA AND SODA WITH A LIME IN IT.

WELL, THAT'S DELICIOUS, LET'S GO HAVE SOME DRINKS.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA HAVE SOME FOOD.

A LIQUID DIET, YES.

IT'S FILLING, IT TASTES GOOD--

AND THE LIME WILL HOLD YOU OVER 'TIL THE NEXT ONE.

AND THE LEMON.

YA'LL NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT ME, ANYMORE.

- TRACI! - HI, BABY!

- WHOA, YOU LOOK FABULOUS. - BOOM.

YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, DARLING.

- THANK YOU. - LET ME LOOK AT YOU.

- YES. - LET ME JUST LOOK.

FABULOUS.

WHILE I'M IN ATLANTA FOR TRINA'S VIDEO,

I DECIDED IT'S TIME FOR ME TO BRUSH UP ON MY SINGING

WITH THE FAMILY VOCAL COACH, TERRENCE LEE JONES.

I'M INSPIRED BOTH WITH TAMAR AND TRINA

DOING THEIR OWN PROJECT.

IF TAMAR AND TRINA CAN DO IT, THEN TRACI CAN DO IT AS WELL.

I JUST NEED TO MAKE MYSELF READY.

WHAT'S UP?

NOTHING, I'M JUST TRYING TO, UM, GET MY VOCALS TOGETHER.

- MM, VOCALS TOGETHER. - AND, I'M RUSTY.

- YOU'RE RUSTY? - I'M RUSTY.

SO, WHY DON'T WE JUST-- LET'S JUST DO A VOICE LESSON THEN?

FIRST, YOU GOTTA COMPLETELY RELAX.

RELAX YOUR BODY, OPEN YOUR MOUTH,

JUST DROP YOUR JAW.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND--

HOLD, HOLD, HOLD.

I REALLY THINK THAT MY SISTERS THINK

THAT I TAKE THIS MUSIC BUSINESS REALLY LIGHTLY.

I REALLY DON'T.

I JUST WANT A LITTLE BREAK IN CHANCE, IN LIFE.

I MEAN, I'M GROOMED JUST LIKE THEY WERE.

HOLD.

SO, FOR THEM TO ALWAYS PUT ME ON THE BACK BURNER.

I GOT SOME NEWS FOR YOU, TRACI IS BUSTIN' OUT.

SO, ONE THING THAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS WE'RE GONNA LEARN

TO MANAGE MOVING WHILE PRODUCING SOUND.

OKAY.

I WANT YOU TO RUN IN PLACE.

- RUN IN PLACE! - YEAH, RUN IN PLACE.

- LIKE AEROBICS? - YUP.

I CAN'T BE DOIN' NO AEROBICS AND TRYIN' TO SING.

HEY, TAMAR.

HUSH.

GOOD, YOU GOT THAT-- KEEP MOVING-- KEEP MOVING.

IT WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO EXERCISE

AND SING AT THE SAME TIME.

I KNOW I AM OUT OF PRACTICE, I KNOW WHY HE'S DOING THAT.

IF I WANT TO BE A PERFORMER,

AND BE ON STAGE, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO DO.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY, "YE-YE-YE... YEAH, YA'LL..."

WHOO!

I KNOW HE DON'T WANT ME TO DO THAT.

FI-FI-FI-FI-FI.

OH!

UNH-UH-- HELL--

- WHOO! - HECK NO.

WELL, I HAVE OTHER THINGS MOVIN'.

- NO, YOU CANNOT STOP. - OKAY, WAIT A MINUTE.

I CAN'T BREATHE, TERRENCE.

CAN'T BREATHE AT ALL.

YOU 'BOUT TO DO CPR ON ME.

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO STOP, IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE HEART.

COME ON, GET SERIOUS, FOCUS.

- I AM. - YOU KNOW I'M GON' TURN ON--

- HOW LONG I GOTTA DO THAT? - UNTIL I SAY STOP.

AND, BECAUSE YOU STOPPED,

WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT EVEN TOUGHER.

LET'S GO NOW.

HE HARD.

I WANT TO PUNCH HIM IN THE THROAT.

COME ON, YOU KNOW I MEAN BUSINESS.

FI-FI-FI-FI, FI-FI-FI-FI, FI-FI.

OH, JESUS.

- GOOD-- GOOD WORK. - WHOO!

- HI. - HOW ARE YA?

- I GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU. - YOU DO?

HERE, BEFORE YOU GO HOME.

- HEY. - OH, HEY.

YOU GOT NEW DRESSES IN THE WINDOW.

YES, OF COURSE.

WE GOTTA KEEP IT MOVIN' RIGHT HERE IN THE HOUSE.

RECO IS A STYLIST WHO MAKES CLOTHES AND COSTUMES

FOR CELEBRITIES, INCLUDING MY SISTER TONI.

AND, HE'S CREATING FIVE WARDROBE CHANGES FOR ME

FOR MY VIDEO AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT FABULOUSNESS

HE HAS FOR ME.

LET'S SEE HOW THIS WORKS, AND--

OKAY, WHAT SIZE IS THIS?

OKAY, YOU MIGHT NEED TO LET OUT A LITTLE STITCH.

YEAH, I MAY HAVE TO HELP YOU SQUEEZE THAT UP, OKAY.

YUP.

YOUR BOOTY LOOKS REAL GOOD IN THAT.

TOWANDA GONNA BE JEALOUS.

FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE A NICE BOOTY.

BUT, YOUR BOOBIES LOOK DELICIOUS.

IT'S SEXY.

OKAY, SO LET ME HELP PEEL YOU OUT OF THAT.

YEAH, AND THEN WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

NOW, WE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING

ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TWIN.

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH A LITTLE SIDE CLEAVAGE.

I'M JUST SCARED THAT IF I MOVE

OF WONDER TWIN POWER ACTIVATE.

I MEAN, I'M GON' DO MY TRINA.

UGH-UGH-UGH.

OKAY, THAT'S ONE, TWO, THREE-- THERE-- YOU GO.

OKAY, THERE YOU GO, THERE YOU GO.

MY WHO-HA GOT A OH-AH.

THE GLOW IN THE DARK OUTFIT IS GREAT

AS LONG AS RECO CAN DO SOMETHING TO ALTER IT,

SO MY BOOBIE-DOOBIES DON'T FALL OUT.

I THINK WE SHOULD GEL IT UP, HAVE A LITTLE SHINY.

IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO PARTY, THEN YOU BETTER GO HOME.

YES, I DO PROMOTE MYSELF.

YEAH, MY RINGTONE IS MY SONG.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

DON'T BE JEALOUS.

OKAY, WELL, THIS IS IT FOR TODAY.

I THOUGHT THERE WAS A GOLD SOMETHING?

IT'S GOLD FABRIC.

- IT'S NOT DONE YET? - IT'S NOT DONE YET.

AND, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH THIS?

WE CAN JUST MAKE A FABULOUS BELT.

BUT, HOW SOON CAN I HAVE THIS DONE?

- OKAY-- - CAN I HAVE IT DONE BY TONIGHT?

I'M KNOWN TO DOING SOME QUICK, YOU KNOW, MAGIC.

YES.

BUT, HONEY, THIS MAY BE A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH.

LET ME DO MY MAGIC AND-- - 'CAUSE I WANNA BE ABLE

TO TRY IT ON TONIGHT,

IN CASE THERE NEED TO BE SOME ALTERATIONS.

I'MA TRY.

BUT, I NEED THAT FOR THE ROULETTE SCENE.

YOU GONNA HAVE THIS FOR THE ROULETTE SCENE.

OKAY.

RECO IS STARTING TO WORRY ME.

HE'S CLEARLY NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED.

I CAN'T JUST HAVE TWO WARDROBE CHANGES FOR MY VIDEO.

THIS IS SOMETHING, UM, THAT I'M MAKING FOR TOWANDA.

SO, WE GONNA CUT IT REAL SHORT--

- MM-HMM. - A LITTLE LEG

PEEPING THROUGH, REAL SEXY--

TOWANDA'S DRESS IS WAY SEXY.

MAYBE TOO MUCH.

BUT, AT LEAST HE HAS SOMETHING FOR HER,

BECAUSE HE HAS NO IDEA

THAT I NEED SOMETHIN' FOR TRACI, TOO.

TRACI, OF COURSE, HAS TO BE INCLUDED AND INCORPORATED.

SO, WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT THIS, MISS TRINA BRAXTON?

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.

WHAT SHE'S GON' BE DOIN'?

I DON'T KNOW YET, BUT SHE'S--

NO, WHAT SHE'S GONNA BE WEARING.

EX-- THAT'S-- HEY, HEY, I'M SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING

IN HERE THAT FITS-- BOOM.

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

MAMA, I'M GON' NEED YOU NOT TO HAVE ALL THAT SUGAR.

EX-- THAT'S-- HEY, HEY.

I'M SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN HERE THAT FITS-- BOOM.

A LOT OF CLOTHES IN RECO'S SHOP

ARE FOR LITTLE-ITTY-BITTY- TEENY-WEENY WOMEN.

I CAN BARELY FIT THE STUFF.

SO, I'M HOPING THAT HE CAN HAVE SOMETHING FOR TRACI

IN JUST A REALLY, REALLY SHORT TIME.

I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT,

BUT YOU BETTER FIGURE IT OUT, BOOM-BOOM.

MAYBE WE COULD JUST SOMETHING...

IMAGINE IF YOU WERE TRACI.

MM-HMM.

MAYBE WE COULD HAVE SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY, EDGY

AND WRAP IT AROUND.

LIKE, APHRODITE OR SOMETHING?

CUT IT OFF REAL SHORT.

SPLIT, BAM!

WHAT YOU THINK?

YOU'RE NOT FEELIN' THAT?

YOU GOTTA BE-- HAVE A CREATIVE MIND AND VISION.

I ALREADY SEE-- I ALREADY SEE THIS TAKE PLACE.

YOU DON'T SEE THAT WITH THIS.

YES.

OKAY, WELL, I HAVE TO GO FIND, WITHIN THIS BUDGET

I'M WORKING IN, I'LL TRY TO SQUEEZE SOME MONEY.

I'LL HAVE TO TAKE ONE OF YOUR PANTYHOSE BACK

OR SOMETHING.

HOW IN GOD'S HEAVEN IS SHE--

SHE'S GONNA LOOK LIKE A PANTHER.

A BLUE PANTHER.

BUT, WE WANT HER TO STAND OUT, BUT NOT STAND OUT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?

- BUT ONLY BECAUSE-- - BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU.

- YES. - YOU KNOW, LIKE, WE GOT--

I'M SORRY, DID YOU SAY--

DID YOU SEE HOW STANDOUT TOWANDA'S DRESS IS?

WHY IS HER OUTFIT SO BRIGHT?

RECO MADE A DRESS FOR TOWANDA THAT'S WAY TOO FLASHY.

SHE LOOKS LIKE A GIANT HIGHLIGHTER

AND THE FOCUS SHOULD BE ON ME, NOT TOWANDA.

WHY ISN'T HER OUTFIT GRUNGE AND BLACK?

THE LOOK IS STILL GONNA BE GRUNGE.

IT'S LIKE A GLAMOROUS TYPE GRUNGE.

SEE, YOU SAID YOU WANTED IT BRIGHT, THEN NOW,

YOU WANT IT GRUNGE. - NO, NO, NO.

BUT, THAT HALLWAY ITSELF IS GRUNGE

AND THEN IT GOES INTO BRIGHT.

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY THIS WILL BE AN OPTION.

OKAY.

I'M-I'M HAVIN' HEART PALPITATIONS HERE,

BECAUSE RECO IS GOIN' ROGUE

AND MY VIDEO SHOOT IS IN A COUPLE DAYS.

SO, FOR TODAY, WHAT IS THE DAMAGE?

OH...

IT'S OKAY.

I'M GONNA NEED SOME MORE MONEY FROM GABE,

BECAUSE THESE BILLS ARE ADDING UP

AND THEY'RE ADDING UP FAST.

AND, I FEEL A LITTLE GUILTY BECAUSE I KNOW

HE'S TRYING TO WIN ME BACK.

BUT, OBVIOUSLY, I DON'T FEEL THAT GUILTY

BECAUSE I'M REALLY GONNA ASK HIM FOR SOME MORE MONEY,

BECAUSE I NEED IT REALLY BAD.

LET ME CALL BEFORE YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR

TO MAKE SURE THIS CHECK GONNA GO THROUGH.

- OH, IT'S GONNA GO THROUGH. - YOU LUCKY IT'S THE WEEKEND.

- IT'S GONNA GO THROUGH. - ALL RIGHTY.

YES.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU FOR COMIN' OUT, GOD BLESS YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.

- ALL RIGHTY. - ALL RIGHT, SO--

I DON'T KNOW IF I FEEL LIKE DRINKING MINE NOW.

PARTY OR GO HOME.

I'M 'BOUT TO GO HOME BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO PARTY.

HA-HA!

OH, I'M SO HUNGRY, I HAVE LIKE--

LIKE THE SNACK-A-LICIOUS DEMON.

AFTER MY SISTERS INFORM ME THAT MOMMMY

IS ONLY GETTING WORSE WITH HER EATING HABITS,

I NEEDED TO SEE FOR MYSELF HOW BAD IT'S GOTTEN.

SO, I TOLD MOMMY I WANTED TO GRAB A SNACK,

TALK ABOUT THE LITTLE BABY STUFF,

AND OF COURSE, SHE BRINGS ME TO A BAKERY.

THAT LOOKS GOOD.

WELL, IT LOOKS GOOD.

I MEAN, WHETHER I CAN EAT IT OR NOT, IT LOOKS GOOD.

HEY, LADIES, HOW YA DOIN'?

- HI! - HELLO.

I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE THIS CARAMEL CAKE.

- I DON'T THINK YOU ARE. - I THINK I AM.

LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE.

YOU WANT A SLICE OF THAT-- OKAY.

DON'T YOU GET THAT KNIFE.

I DO WANT THIS.

- THE CARAMEL CAKE? - PLEASE.

- MAMA! - YES, MA'AM.

TAMAR.

JUST BECAUSE SHE WANTS A BIG PIECE OF CARAMEL CAKE

DOESN'T MEAN SHE CAN HAVE A PIECE OF CARAMEL CAKE.

- I WANT WHAT I'M PAYIN' FOR. - NO, SHE CANNOT.

SWEETIE, YOU HAVE NOTHIN' TO DO WITH THIS.

YOU'RE JUST WAITING ON US-- GIVE ME THE CAKE.

YES, MA'AM.

HOW YOU KNOW I AIN'T PAYIN' FOR IT--

I'M PAYIN' FOR IT.

NO... GIVE ME THE CAKE.

I MEAN, BUT ALL YOU NEED IS A TASTE.

DON'T PUT HIM IN THE MIDDLE.

YOU GONNA CUT YOUR MAMA A SLICE THAT BIG?

OH, REALLY!

YOU WORK HERE.

REALLY, THAT'S HOW YOU GON' CUT YOUR MAMA A SLICE?

- I JUST WORK HERE. - THIS IS HIS JOB.

THIS IS MY JOB.

I CAN GO TO HIS MANAGER, HE DOESN'T WANT THAT.

YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE TAMAR, BUT I'M REAL GROWN.

SO, IF I WANTED TO EAT A PIECE OF CAKE,

I'LL EAT A PIECE OF CAKE.

MAMA, I'M GONNA NEED YOU NOT TO HAVE ALL THAT SUGAR

IN ONE SETTING.

WHAT SUGAR?

I'M GONNA NEED SOME HELP WITH MY CHERRY.

THERE'S NO COFFEE IN THIS SUGAR.

YOU KIDS, I MEAN, YOU THINK BEND WITH ONE.

I WOULDN'T STRETCH MY BODY MORE THAN TWO.

WELL, I STRETCHED MY BODY AND IT LOOKS GOOD.

YEAH, YOU LOOK AMAZING,

BUT EVERYBODY AIN'T GOT THOSE GENES.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE.

AND, IF YOU KEEP THAT SUGAR UP,

YOU AIN'T GONE HAVE THEM GENES FOR LONG.

TAMAR, YOU GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING.

THIS IS NOT WHAT I DO EVERY DAY.

- YOU DON'T? - I AM POSITIVE.

MAMA, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, I'M CONCERNED.

TAMAR--

AIN'T GOT NOBODY WATCHIN' YOU.

UH, I DON'T THINK I NEED ANYONE WATCHIN' ME.

- YOU DO. - GIRL, PLEASE.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH DIABETES

FOR ABOUT MAYBE 15 YEARS.

I GIVE MYSELF INSULIN ONCE A DAY AND THAT IS AT NIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU COOK FOR YOURSELF?

I TRY TO GO OUT AND EAT MORE.

THAT'S TERRIBLE.

WAIT.

I KNOW HOW TO EAT, TRUST ME.

YOU SEE ALL THIS WEIGHT I'VE GAINED?

IT CAN'T BE FROM THE CAKE.

I THINK IT'S FROM THE INSULIN,

BECAUSE THE INSULIN STORES FAT.

I DON'T KNOW IF INSULIN MAKES YOU FAT,

BUT I DO KNOW THAT MOMMY WOULDN'T EVEN

NEED THE INSULIN SHOT IF SHE CONTROLLED

WHAT THE HELL SHE PUT IN HER MOUTH.

SHE'S BECOMING TOO COMFORTABLE WITH HER DIABETES

AND I AM REALLY WORRIED NOW.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE HER.

LIKE, THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION FOR HER,

FOR REAL, FOR REAL.

I HAD A TASTE FOR THIS CAKE, I HAD A PIECE,

NOW I'M GREAT.

YOU DON'T WANT ANYMORE OF THAT CAKE?

UH-UH.

I'M NOT HAVING ANYMORE OF THAT-- THIS CAKE.

THIS CAKE RIGHT HERE, YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE

ANY MORE OF IT, ARE YOU MAMA?

HELP YOURSELF, BABY.

'KAY.

TONI, WE'RE 'BOUT TO START.

I'LL BE IN THE FRONT.

DIEZEL!

I AM SO EXCITED.

WE ARE ALL THROWING TRACI A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY,

SO I HOPPED ON THE FIRST PLANE TO ATLANTA THAT I COULD GET.

I DIDN'T WANNA MISS OUT ON IT.

I HAD TO GET THERE BEFORE SHE GOT THERE.

OKAY.

HELLO?

ARE YOU HERE?

- YEAH. - OKAY, WAIT.

THEY'RE HERE, THEY'RE HERE.

GUYS, THEY'RE HERE, THEY'RE HERE.

THEY'RE HERE.

YES, YES.

FIRST, WE HAVE TO SAY "SURPRISE"

REALLY, REALLY LOUD.

BRACK, STAND UP.

HE-HE HE-HE-HEY HE-HE-HE-HEY--

SURPRISE!

WHEN I WALKED INTO THE RESTAURANT,

I HAD NO IDEA THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY.

AND, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE A MALE STRIPPER

JUMP OUT OF THE DAMN BIRTHDAY CAKE.

I THOUGHT, YOU NOW, I WAS GONNA SEE A MAN ,

OR SOMETHING.

OH, MY GOD!

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

OH, GOD, YOU WEAR OUT SO EASY,

YOUR ENDURANCE LEVEL IS AT ZERO.

IT IS.

YOU CAN'T CONSUME THIS CONCEPT, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW

THAT IT'S GONNA SPIKE YOUR DIABETES, MOMMY.

THI-THIS IS NOT OKAY.

[indistinct

I WAS SURPRISED THAT THEY CELEBRATED

MY BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR, BECAUSE I DON'T CELEBRATE IT

WITH MY SISTERS OR MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY.

I ALWAYS CELEBRATE IT WITH MY HUSBAND OR MY SON.

OH, LORD!

REALLY?

OH, MY GOD.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY.

WOW, WHAT A BIRTHDAY CAKE.

DO IT AGAIN, BABY.

DO IT AGAIN, I THINK I GOT SOME ONES.

YAY!

AWE.

HEY, KEVIN!

WHEN KEVIN JR. WALKED BEHIND ME I WAS LIKE,

"OH, MY SON IS HERE.

"I CAN'T CALL HIM 'BABY' ANYMORE."

BUT, I WAS-- I WAS REALLY HAPPY.

IT WAS A FRESH OF BREATH AIR.

OH, GOD, I'M SHAKIN'.

I NEED A LIPITOR.

- YOU WANT A COCKTAIL? - I NEED SOMETHING.

- CAN I HAVE A COCKTAIL? - OH, DIEZEL.

EVERYONE IN OUR FAMILY'S HAD SOME KIND OF BIRTHDAY BASH

OR SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, BIRTHDAY PARTY IN THEIR TIME,

BUT TRACI'S NEVER HAD THAT.

SO, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME, EVEN FROM INFANCY TO NOW,

THAT TRACI'S FINALLY GETTING HER DAY RECOGNIZED

FOR HER BIRTHDAY.

AND THEN, TONI DECIDED TO BE A FUN SNATCHER

AND TALKS ABOUT PEOPLE'S GIFTS.

WHO DOES THAT?

- TRINA, IS THIS YOURS? - YES, BUT, GO AHEAD.

TRINA, WHY?

THAT'S NOT CUTE.

OKAY, AND WITH-- AND WITH THAT, YOU HAVE NO NERVE,

GOAL, AND AUDACITY.

DON'T BE MAD, IT IS A LITTLE SAMPLE-ISH.

- IT'S NOT. - IT JUST LOOKS IT.

OKAY.

WHON-WHON-WHON.

WHY WOULD TRINA GET TRACI A TEENY, INTSY, WEENTSY

BOTTLE OF PERFUME?

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GOT THE SMALL BOTTLE OF PERFUME.

WAS IT LIKE, YOU BOUGHT A BIG ONE

AND YOU GET THE LITTLE ONE FREE?

OKAY, THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE BUT TRACI TONIGHT.

THANK YOU, TOWANDA.

BECAUSE, WE'RE FOCUSIN' ON TRACI AND HER BIRTHDAY.

I LOVED SEEIN' THE LOOK ON TRACI'S FACE.

YEAH, ME TOO.

THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH AND I THANK YOU

FOR THINKIN' ABOUT ME

AND WANT TO CELEBRATE THIS DAY WITH ME.

- ABSOLUTELY. - YEAH.

- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

BEAT BOX OVER THE CAKE.

IT WAS GREAT TO FEEL THAT YOUR FAMILY REALLY LOVES YOU

AND I FELT EXTREMELY LOVED.

JUST BLOW IT OUT.

YAY!

THREE O'CLOCK, FOUR O'CLOCK, ROCK.

TODAY IS THE FINAL REHEARSAL BEFORE THE BIG VIDEO SHOOT

TOMORROW AND I AM SUPER DUPER NERVOUS

BECAUSE I AM STIFF WHEN IT COMES TO THE CHOREOGRAPHY.

FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT--

I NEED, UM--

- I CAN'T DO WHAT YOU DOIN'. - YOU NEED ME TO CALL IT OUT.

I DON'T KNOW WORDS, I NEED YOU TO SING.

IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO ,

THEN YOU BETTER COME HOME.

SEVEN, PIVOT, ONE, TWO, THREE, SHAKE IT UP.

FIVE, IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO PARTY

THEN YOU BETTER COME HOME.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I'VE DONE THE DANCE STEPS

IN HEELS AND IT IS DEFINITELY NOT EASY.

EVERYBODY KNOWS, I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT

CHOREOGRAPHICALLY CHALLENGED AND IT'S GONNA BE A TASK

NOT TO FALL DOWN ON MY FACE.

I FAILED EPICALLY.

NOT EASY AT ALL.

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS, I'M NOT GONNA LIE.

DON'T BE NERVOUS.

NOT BECAUSE OF EVERYBODY ELSE BUT BECAUSE OF MYSELF.

I'LL SAY THIS, LESS THAN A WEEK AGO,

WE SAT AT A CASTING AND YOU SAID,

"I'M NOT A DANCER, I CAN'T DANCE."

AND THEN, IN THIS AMOUNT OF TIME YOU'VE BECOME COMFORTABLE,

YOU PUT IT ON, AND THIS IS--

THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE MOVING IN TO.

YES.

YOU'RE MOVING INTO TRINA THE SOLO ARTIST.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO HOLD BACK.

- NOT AT ALL. - YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

SO, IT'S LIKE, YEAH.

TOMORROW IS THE MOMENT WHERE I STEP INTO THE SPOTLIGHT

AND ENJOY ALL THE HARD WORK I'VE BEEN PUTTING IN.

I'M TRYIN' TO REMAIN CALM, BUT I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT,

RIGHT NOW.

I MEAN, THIS IS IT.

IT'S MAKE IT OR BREAK IT TIME.

ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S DO ONE MORE GOOD RUN THROUGH.

LET'S DO TWO MORE GOOD RUN THROUGH'S.

- LET'S DO TWO MORE? - OKAY, YEAH.

- ALL RIGHT, DEAL-- TWO MORE. - TWO MORE.

TRACI, THE NEXT LESSON WE HAVE YOU HAVE TO HAVE

SWEAT PANTS AND SWEAT STUFF, SO I CAN TORTURE YOU.

I HAVE MY SECOND LESSON WITH TERRENCE AND I'M HOPING

AND PRAYIN' THAT WE DO SOME VOCALS

AND FOR ME TO DO SOME REAL SINGING.

THE EXERCISE, THE CARDIOVASCULAR,

EATING CORRECTLY, HAVING THE PROPER REST,

ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO HELP YOU

ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS AND YOUR DREAMS.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE RUNNIN' AROUND, JUMPIN' JACKS,

PUSH-UPS, SIT-UPS, BACK-UPS,

THIS IS NOT RICHARD SIMMONS CLASS.

AND BESIDES, MY HAIR WASN'T PREPARED FOR THAT.

ONE, AND TWO, AND READY, AND GO.

- MUM-MUM-MUM-MUM-- - HANDS OVER YOUR HEAD, PLEASE.

- MUM-MUM-MUM-- - TRACI, CAN'T QUIT.

THE LAST LESSON WAS A VERY--

OH, GOD, YOU WEAR OUT SO EASY,

YOUR ENDURANCE LEVEL IS AT ZERO.

- IT IS. - THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

COME ON, YOU CAN'T GIVE UP NOW.

THAT'S PITIFUL.

SERIOUSLY, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH THE MOVEMENT,

THE EXERCISES, ALL ARE GOING TO BUILD THE ENDURANCE

FOR THE PERFORMANCE.

MM-HMM.

I GOTTA SING NOW AFTER I JUMPED UP AND DOWN

AND EXERCISED AND-- - YEAH, BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE--

THAT'S IT.

GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE SKY--

OH, GOD DID, BUT HE DIDN'T TELL YOU TO LEAN.

NO LEANING WHILE SINGING.

SAY IT, PLEASE.

OKAY, NO LEANING WHILE SINGING.

PERFECT.

GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE SKY

GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE SKY

WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUN--

THERE IT IS, THERE IT IS.

WILL NOT SHINE ANYMORE

GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE SKY

WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE-- GO FOR IT-- WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE!

WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUN WILL NOT SHINE ANYMORE

GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE-- CAN I DO TONI?

- YEAH. - SKY--

I JUST DID A TONI!

YUP, THERE YOU GO.

- GOOD WORK. - THANK YOU.

IT'S AN HONOR FOR HIM TO TELL ME THAT, YOU KNOW,

"HEY, WOW, YOU WERE DOIN' GREAT."

I MEAN, I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT.

SO, WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO THOUGH,

BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEGINNING.

YES-YES-YES.

WE HAVE LOTS OF WORK TO DO, BUT YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY.

LET'S SEE WHAT DOORS OPEN UP FOR ME TO SING.

I WOULD LOVE TO BE A ONE HIT WONDER.

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

- YOU GOT CAKE! - WHAT?

OOH, MAMA.

- DOES TRINA HAVE HER ROOM? - UH, WE IN IT.

- THIS IS TRINA'S ROOM, TOO? - MM-HMM.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

TELL

TELL ME

TELL ME THE

TELL ME THE DETAILS.

UM, IT'S REALLY JUST ABOUT JUST HAVING A BIG PARTY,

YOU KNOW.

- LIKE A ORGY? - NOT A-- NO.

NO, MA'AM.

OH, OKAY.

IT'S ABOUT HAVING, YOU KNOW, I WANNA SAY NO INHIBITIONS,

BUT YOU SITTIN' THERE TURNIN' IT INTO AN ORGY.

I'M JUST SAYIN', 'CAUSE I DROVE PAST HERE

AND I SAW YOUR NEIGHBORS, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS--

SHE WAS WHAT, TRACI?

SHE WAS PL-PLEASIN' HER HUSBAND ON THE BALCONY.

I MADE THE DRIVER STOP.

I SAID, "WAIT, NOW HOLD UP."

TOW,

TOW, YOUR

TOW, YOUR WEAVE

TOW, YOUR WEAVE IS

TOW, YOUR WEAVE IS WELL

TOW, YOUR WEAVE IS WELL AND

TOW, YOUR WEAVE IS WELL AND INTACT.

- AIN'T IT-- YES. - YOU BETTER WORK!

- HEY, MOM. - HEY, GUYS.

SO, ME AND MY SISTERS ARE DECIDING THAT MOMMY

NEEDS A COMPLETE INTERVENTION WITH HER HEALTH,

BECAUSE SHE'S A DIABETIC.

MOMMY CAN'T EAT A WHOLE BUNCH OR CRAZY FOODS.

SHE JUST CAN'T.

WHAT YA'LL WANT TO DRINK?

WHAT'S IN THERE-- NOTHIN'.

- OH, HELL NO! - WHAT SHE GOT?

WHAT?

BAD, MOMMY, BAD-BAD, MOMMY.

WHERE DID THESE COME FROM?

PICKLED PIG FEET-- LET ME HAVE SOME.

WHO PUT THAT IN THERE?

WAIT A MINUTE!

PICKLED PIGS FEET, THAT WAS JUST DISG-- WHO-- EW.

YOU GOT CAKE! - MAMA!

- THAT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. - THAT'S FOR THE CHILDREN.

THIS AIN'T FOR NOT CHILDREN,

'CAUSE MY CHILDREN AIN'T HERE.

SHE MIGHT AS WELL JUST A BIG 'OL VAT OF INSULIN

WAITING RIGHT BESIDE THE REFRIGERATOR,

BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S GONNA NEED

IF SHE KEEPS CONSUMING ALL OF THIS BAD FOOD.

PIE.

MOMMY, YOU CAN'T CONSUME THIS KIND OF STUFF

'CAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA SPIKE YOUR DIABETES, MOMMY.

TH-THIS IS NOT OKAY.

YOU CAN'T DRINK SWEETENED TEA!

- APPLE JUICE. - PUT THAT STUFF BACK,

I GOTTA GET THIS REFRIGERATOR CLEAN.

- YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT. - THERE YOU GO.

WHO CHILD DRINK THAT?

YOUR CHILDREN DRINK THAT?

- NO. - YOUR CHILDREN DRINK THAT?

- NO. - WELL, WHO EAT THE CHERRIES?

- KAILA. - NO, EVELYN, SHE EAT IT.

SHE DRINK THAT WITH COKE.

WITH YOUR DIET-- WITH YOUR DIET COLA--

- SHE GOT FROZEN PIE. - WHAT?

OOH, MOMMY.

AND, SHE GOT A SNICKERS TUCKED AWAY!

I MEAN, WHAT-WHAT- WHAT ARE YOU,

UM, REFRIGERATOR POLICE?

I AM.

I KNOW MY CHILDREN LOVE ME AND THEY LOVE ME A LOT,

AND I REALIZE THAT THEY WANT ME TO BE AROUND FOREVER.

HOWEVER, WHEN THEY COME IN AND BOMBARD ME LIKE THAT,

I CAN'T STAND IT.

THAT IS FOR THE GRAND BABIES.

MOM, THE GRANDCHILDREN ARE HERE AND THIS IS HALFWAY GONE.

THAT'S NOT MY FAULT.

THAT'S ENOUGH TO SEND ME IN A DIABETIC COMA

AND I AIN'T EVEN GOT DIABETES.

YEAH, BECAUSE I ATE THAT CAKE AND I'M ABOUT TO GET INTO ONE.

YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT STUFF, MOMMY.

FIRST OF ALL, ALL THIS STUFF WILL INTERACT

WITH YOUR INSULIN.

YES, IT WILL.

AND, YOU COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT

AND END UP IN THE HOSPITAL.

YOU'RE SO RIGHT.

THERE COULD BE-- THERE COULD BE AMPUTERIZATION GOING ON.

MY AUNT HALIBEL SUFFERED GREATLY FROM DIABETES.

SHE WAS A DOUBLE AMPUTEE WITH HER LEGS.

AND, MY BIGGEST FEAR FOR MY MOM,

IN REGARD TO HER DIABETES,

IS THAT SHE'LL BECOME AN AMPUTEE

LIKE HER SISTER WAS, IF SHE DOESN'T EAT RIGHT.

THIS IS FOR THE GRANDCHILDREN.

IT IS NOT FOR ME.

- IT IS NOT-- - OKAY, MOMMY.

TRUST ME.

TRINA-TRINA-TRINA--

OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M-I'M DONE, MOMMY, 'CAUSE YOUR GROWN, OKAY.

YEAH, REAL GROWN.

PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE NOT EATIN' LIKE THAT,

BECAUSE I'M ALL THE WAY IN L.A.,

YOU GONNA MAKE ME WORRY REAL BAD.

PLEASE DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME 'CAUSE I THINK WE ALL HAVE

SOME TYPE OF WEAKNESS AND, PERHAPS, SWEETS ARE MINE.

PERHAPS.

BUT, MOMMY, SWEETNESS CAN'T BE YOUR WEAKNESS.

HAVE YOU SEEN A NUTRITIONIST?

- LATELY? - IN THE PAST YEAR?

NO, I HAVEN'T.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD SEE ONE?

I PROBABLY WILL.

- I DO, TOO. - I SECOND THAT EMOTION.

I JUST SURE HOPE MY MAMA IS REAL SERIOUS ABOUT VISITIN'

THIS NUTRITIONIST AND NOT JUST TRYIN' TO SHUT US UP.

I DO NOT NEED TO SEE ANOTHER PERSON I LOVE

LAID UP IN THE HOSPITAL, OR WORSE.

WE'RE JUST CONCERNED ABOUT YOU EATING THAT STUFF.

AND YOUR OVERALL HEALTH, MOMMY.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DO APPRECIATE IT AND I KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT 100%.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR MOMMY TO TAKE HER STATUS

IN DIABETES VERY, VERY SERIOUSLY,

BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT HER TO BE ON INSULIN ALL HER LIFE.

WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT HER TO BE AN AMPUTEE,

AND WE DON'T WANT HER TO BE BED RIDDEN

FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE, SUFFERING FROM DIABETES,

WHEN SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO.

AND, ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS CHANGE HER DIET.

TAKE THIS HOME AND YOU GUYS CAN GO.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE HAVIN' IT FOR YOUR GRANDCHILDREN?

AREN'T THE GRAND KIDS AT YOUR HOUSE?

GRAND KIDS AT YOUR HOUSE, GRAND KIDS AT YOUR HOUSE.

GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT.

- COME ON, YA'LL-- - SEE YOU GUYS LATER.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE-- I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

YA'LL ARE SO WONDERFUL.

YA'LL COME BACK.

TODAY, IS TRINA'S MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT.

THAT'S TRINA'S THING?

YEAH.

I DON'T WANT TRINA TO BE STRESSED OUT ABOUT ANYTHING.

SO, I DECIDE TO GET THERE EARLY

JUST TO CHECK OUT EVERYTHING

TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S RUNNING SMOOTHLY FOR HER,

BECAUSE SHE JUST NEEDS TO SHOW UP AND BE A STAR.

WHERE'S TRINA'S ROOM?

UM, WE IN IT.

- THIS IS TRINA'S ROOM, TOO? - MM-HMM.

- ARE YOU SERIOUS? - MM-HMM.

OKAY.

TRINA'S DRESSING ROOM IS JUST A BIG OPEN AREA

WITH SNACKS AND REFRESHMENTS.

IT'S A CONCESSION STAND.

TRINA'S DRESSING ROOM SHOULD NOT BE A CONCESSION STAND.

THIS IS IT, FOR REAL?

- DOT COM. - THERE AIN'T NO LIGHT.

CAN THEY BRING IN A LAMP OR SOMETHIN'?

OKAY, I'LL CHECK THAT OUT.

WE JUST-- LET'S HAVE 'EM BRING IN A COUPLE OF LAMPS

FOR HER. - OKAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

SHE SHOULDN'T BE STRESSED.

TRINI!

HI!

THE DAY OF THE SHOOT IS FINALLY HERE

AND GABE INSISTS ON BEING HERE

SINCE HE'S A FINANCIAL INVESTOR

AND HELPIN' OUT.

BUT, AS LONG AS HE STAYS ON THE SIDELINES,

WE'LL BE COOL.

WHO'S DRESS IS THIS?

- TOWANDA. - HUH?

TOWANDA.

YOU DIDN'T WANT HER IN THE-THE LOUD DRESS,

SO SHE CHOSE THIS.

THIS-- OKAY.

WHERE'S-- NO, WHERE'S MINE?

- HERE. - OKAY.

CAN I SEE THE GOLD DRESS?

THE GOLD DRESS?

NO.

I GOT SOMETHING ELSE, A SURPRISE.

I'M LIKE, "NO?"

WAIT A MINUTE.

THE LAST THING I NEED TODAY IS MY DESIGNER,

THAT I'M PAYING FOR, TO NOT DELIVER THE CLOTHES

THAT I'VE ASKED FOR.

RECO BETTER PULL SOMETHIN' GREAT OUT OF HIS YOU-KNOW-WHAT

AND FAST.

DO NOT MESS WITH ME TODAY, RECO.

HEY, WHAT'S UP?

OH, NOTHIN'.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE

THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

I FEEL PRETTY GOOD THAT SHE'S GIVING ME

THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST.

UM, I THINK SHE'S GOT A WINNING PRODUCT ON HER HAND

AND I THINK, UH, IT'D BE GOOD TO BE CLOSE TO HER

AND BE A PART OF THE VIDEO.

I THINK I WISH I WAS PART OF TRINA INVITING ME

BACK INTO HER LIFE.

UH, I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY OPENIN' A DOOR.

HAVE YOU GIVEN EVERYONE THEIR CHECKS?

YEAH, I HAVE.

- WELL, UM-- - IS THERE ANYBODY REMAINING

THAT I NEED TO GIVE THE CHECKS TO?

YES-- YES.

I REALLY APPRECIATE GABE INVESTING IN THIS VIDEO

WITH ME.

IT'S GREAT TO KNOW THAT I HAVE SOMEONE

THAT I CAN TRUST

WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND ME IS STRESSING ME OUT.

BUT, I'M REALLY SCARED THAT HE'S GONNA CUT ME OFF

VERY, VERY SOON.

WE STAYIN' UNDERNEATH THE BUDGET?

WE HAVE A BUDGET OF ZERO DOLLARS, SO.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'M GONNA GO GET SOME MONEY OUT, THEN.

I NEED TO GO OVER MY CHOREOGRAPHY.

TODAY'S GOING REALLY CRAZY.

I'M TRYIN' TO REMEMBER THE CHOREOGRAPHY,

I HAVE NOWHERE TO GET DRESSED,

MY GOLD COSTUME ISN'T HERE,

I DON'T LIKE TOWANDA'S OUTFIT,

AND I DO NOT HAVE TIME

TO BE FOOLIN' WITH ALL THESE LITTLE MUNDANE ISSUES.

WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOIN' ON.

I'M JUST PAYIN' THE BILLS.

TO STAY ON SCHEDULE, WE HAVE TO START SHOOTING

IN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR.

BUT, I'M STILL IN HAIR AND MAKE-UP,

THE DANCERS AREN'T DRESSED,

THEY'RE STILL BUILDING THE SET,

AND WE HAVE FIVE SCENES TO SHOOT TODAY,

AND WE'RE ALREADY BEHIND.

THIS IS YOUR MOMENT, THIS IS YOUR TIME,

THIS IS YOUR DESTINY.

EVERYTHING YOU DO IS RIGHT, BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT YOU.

- YES. - IT'S TIME TO BRING IT.

- OKAY. - IT'S TIME TO BRING IT.

MISS TRINA BRAXTON TO THE SET,

MISS TRINA BRAXTON TO THE SET.

ALL I CAN DO NOW IS PRAY.

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

YOU SEEM LIKE YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT AFRAID.

HEY, WAIT-- WHOA, WHOA.

I'M PAYIN'. - WHAT YOU DOIN'?

OH, OH, I'M PAYIN'.

PLAYIN' THOSE JAMS SO THE PARTY DON'T STOP--

WE'RE

WE'RE ONE

WE'RE ONE MINUTE

WE'RE ONE MINUTE AWAY,

WE'RE ONE MINUTE AWAY, GUYS.

LOTS OF ENERGY-- PARTY, PARTY, PARTY.

OKAY, THIS IS IT AND WE'RE STARTING.

AND, THE FIRST TWO SCENES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT

AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE,

BECAUSE IT'S THE ROULETTE SCENE AND THE DANCE SEQUENCE.

TALENT INTO POSITION.

SO, IT HAS THE MOST ACTORS, THE MOST PROPS,

AND THE MOST SPECIAL EFFECTS.

BACKGROUND TALENT, LOTS OF PARTYING, LOTS OF PARTYING.

EVERYTHING HAS TO BE RIGHT, BECAUSE EVERY MINUTE COUNTS.

CUE SMOKE--

THE ROULETTE SCENE IS

WHERE I'M KINDA LOOKIN' FOR MY DUDE,

YOU KNOW, THE GUY THAT I'M GOING TO KINDA ENCAPSULATE

AND HE'S GONNA DO BODY SHOTS ON ME

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A REALLY GREAT TIME.

THE LEAD MAN IN THE ROULETTE SCENE,

UM, HE WAS DEFINITELY NO GABE.

SO, I MEAN, THERE YOU GO.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

WHENEVER TRINA CAME IN THE SHOT YOU SEEMED

LIKE YOU WERE A LITTLE BIT AFRAID.

HEY, WHOA, WHOA-- I'M PAYIN'.

- WHAT YOU DOIN'? - OH, OH, I'M PAYIN'.

GABE-- TRINA!

WHENEVER SHE COMES IN, IT SEEMED LIKE YOU NEED

TO TAKE, LIKE, TAKE CONTROL, LIKE--

I SHOULD JUST GRAB HER AND PULL HER UP.

THANK YOU, EXACTLY.

GABE, STAY IN YOUR LANE.

YOU ARE NOT A DIRECTOR.

YOU DID NOT GO TO PHOTOGRAPHY SCHOOL,

YOU GOT-- YOU DIDN'T GO TO DIRECTORS SCHOOL.

STICK TO COMPUTERS AND STICK TO MONEY.

WHY DON'T WE MOVE THEM OVER--

WE GOT THIS, GABE-- WE GOT THIS.

THANK YOU, BRO-- WE GOT THIS.

I AM THE DIRECTOR. - YOU ARE.

WHY TRACI SMOKIN' A CIGAR LIKE SHE PART OF THE MOB WIVES.

THIS CIGAR IS HOT AND I THINK THIS IS THE BEST THING

UP IN THIS VIDEO.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT NOBODY ELSE,

BUT I'M ENJOYING MYSELF.

BIG PARTY, BIG PARTY, BIG PARTY.

BIG PARTY, BIG PARTY.

TRINA ALMOST HAD AN INFAMOUS WARDROBE MALFUNCTION.

HER BOOBIE-TOOBIE BA-DOOBIES DON'T NEED TO BE

POPPIN' OUT OF HER SHIRT.

THAT WOULD'VE BEEN BAD.

ROLL PLAYBACK.

CUT!

BIG APPLAUSE FOR MISS BRAXTON.

BIG APPLAUSE FOR MISS BRAXTON.

LET'S GO AHEAD

AND TRY TO GET A CHANGE-- A QUICK CHANGE--

I KNOW YOU GUYS GOTTA DO SOME STUFF,

BUT LET'S MAKE IT QUICK.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE HOW LONG THAT TOOK.

IT WAS JUST THE FIRST SCENE

AND WE HAVE FOUR MORE TO SHOOT.

AND, I KNOW GABE'S GONNA KEEP LOOKIN' AT THE CLOCK,

BECAUSE THE MORE TIME WE TAKE THE MORE MONEY

WE HAVE TO PAY THESE PEOPLE.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'S GONNA TAKE

FOR THESE LAST FOUR SCENES?

FIVE HOURS.

SO, WE'RE GOIN' TWO HOURS OVER?

- WHAT CAN WE CUT? - NONE.

I JUST DON'T WANNA GO OVER THE BUDGET.

WE'RE ALREADY OVER THE BUDGET.

GABE DEFINITELY HAS A POINT AND I KNOW HE'S TRYIN' TO BE

THE VOICE OF REASON,

BUT I HAVE TO MAKE AN AMAZING VIDEO.

I CAN'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE TO PERFORM.

YOU READY?

LET'S GO.

IT'S THE MONEY SHOT.

THIS DANCE SEQUENCE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

AND THE MOST COMPLICATED OF ALL.

ALL THE OTHER SCENES AFTER THIS,

THEY'RE GONNA BE CAKE.

CAN WE GET THE MUSIC CUED UP?

BUT, THIS DANCE SCENE RIGHT HERE

COULD MAKE OR BREAK THE VIDEO.

FIVE, FOUR,

THREE, TWO--

LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO!

GO.

DJ PLAYING ALL THE JAMS SO THE PARTY DON'T STOP

GOT SOME DRINK IN MY CUP TAKING ME TO MY ZONE

IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO PARTY THEN YOU BETTER GO HOME

THEN YOU BETTER GO HOME--

WHEN MY SONG WAS PLAYING

AND I NAILED THAT DANCE SEQUENCE,

ALL THE STRESS WENT AWAY.

IT WAS COMPLETELY AMAZING.

I FELT PRETTY, AND I FELT LIKE A STAR,

AND I FELT LIKE "THIS IS MY MOMENT."

LET ME HEAR YOU IN THE BACK.

IT WAS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE, ACTUALLY.

IT WAS VERY TIRESOME

AND THERE WAS A LOT BEING PUT IN IT,

BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE A WEDDING DAY.

YOU SPEND ALL THIS MONEY,

YOU GO THROUGH ALL THESE OUTFITS,

YOU'RE TRYIN' TO FIND ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE

TO COME TOGETHER TO MAKE THAT MOMENT HAPPEN FOR YOU

TO MAKE IT SPECIAL.

IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO PARTY THEN YOU BETTER GO HOME--

CLOSE IT UP, CLOSE IT UP.

PARTY, PARTY, PARTY.

I WANTED TO TELL YOU I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

WHY?

'CAUSE YOU ARE, YOU'RE DOIN' A GREAT JOB.

DID YOU SEE ME MESS UP?

NO, I THINK YOU'RE ALL DOIN' A WONDERFUL JOB.

IT REALLY MEANT A LOT TO ME

THAT EVEN THOUGH GABE WAS STRESSIN' ME OUT

ABOUT THE MONEY, HE STILL TOOK THE TIME OUT TO WATCH ME

AND LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS REALLY PROUD OF ME.

AND, I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THAT.

- GIVE ME A HUG. - GIVE YOU A HUG?

- YOU JUST OVER PLAYIN' IT. - JUST GIVE ME A HUG.

- GET, GET. - ALL RIGHT.
