- The rink. - Well, I can't.

I got class today, and then I need to hang with Deja

A'ight, Mama Bear.

Keish?

Why do you want to hang with him?

Didn't he get locked up for some fraud shit some years ago?

Mm-hmm.

Right.

He just want to kick it.

Please?

Oh, shit, y'all.

Shit, I ain't gonna lie.

My knees kind of bad, too.

Shut up.

Y'all, it's a lot of crews here that are better than us.

Ty, stop it.

We ain't no pushovers.

All we got to do is believe in ourselves.

That's right.

Plus, we got something they ain't got.

Keisha, I don't know if matching heart tattoos is

really gonna wow the judges.

I ain't talking about no damn tattoos, Ty.

I'm talking about that hunger.

That hunger so deep, we could do anything.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

I feel it.

Exactly.

I feel it right now.

Right.

Yeah, I feel it right here.

Where the hell are we gonna eat it?

Man, Chuck, mind your business.

Keisha needs some straightening.

Who gonna straighten me?

Me.

Look, this is my property, so it is my business, Bria.

Now, I don't care how long y'all been coming here.

Ain't no jacking at the rink.

So y'all gots to chill.

Hold on.

Where was you at yesterday when she

sucker punched me in my face? - Yeah.

Or when you tripped Keisha, made her hit the floor?

That ain't nothing.

- Yes, she did. - Ladies.

- I don't wanna hear this shit. - Hold up, now.

Hold up.

You keep it up, I'm gonna ban all

And that includes the skating rink competition.

They can't even skate as good as us.

We ain't tripping if y'all ain't.

This ain't over.

You gonna get your issue.

- Bitch. - Grow up.

- Put it on the floor. - I will.

See you in the back of the line.

Bitch, I"ll see you in the ring.

Be gone.

Back of the line. - Two-left-foot-ass ho.

What you looking at?

Look.

Keisha, Tyra, Fran, don't add to my stress.

My hairline pushed back already enough.

Chuck.

Well, you know they got man weaves now.

I could hook you up. - Hell freezes over.

- Ha, Chuck. - Hey, look.

I'mma do y'all a solid.

Meet me at the front of the line.

What? Oh, say no more.

We will jump.

When you get paid your first paycheck?

I asked you a question, Paul.

Huh?

Oh.

Sorry?

I said, when do you get paid your first paycheck

from your new job?

Well, I, uh, started working last Friday.

So, you know, I'm a week in the hole.

But we get paid every two weeks.

But it ain't until the 18th.

18th?

Yeah.

And the $1,400 would cover your mortgage payment.

Yeah, and a little over, for miscellaneous expenses,

like groceries or gas, just to get back and forth to work.

Listen, Pastor Taylor, it's just been

a really rough few months.

And, um, I know God's blessed me with giving me this new job.

But I just I need a little time so I can-- slowly but surely,

I'll get back on my feet.

I'm beyond happy for you, Paul.

Now, I know you had a few prayer

requests recently that you want to keep confidential.

That's right.

You know, it took everything in me to come to you with this.

Look, the Bible says pride comes

before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

- Amen. - Proverbs 16--

16:18.

- Oh, I'm aware. - Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I'm aware.

I paid attention.

Thanks, Farrah.

Hey, Ms. Farrah.

There's only one issue here, Paul.

We might lose track of time during the service.

I mean, sometimes I can get an off-pitch-baritone stomach

growls when the sermon goes past 2 o'clock.

Yes, sir.

But the one thing we don't lose track of

is our tithes and offerings.

And according to our record keeping,

over the last three years, you've contributed about $832.

Now, that averages out to be about $5 a week.

And here you are, asking the church for a $1,400 loan?

Come on, Paul.

That math ain't mathing.

Pastor, I know this ain't customary, okay?

But I can pay the loan back with interest, just

as soon as I get my paycheck.

Paul, I appreciate you being a loyal parishioner.

You're on the front row every week.

And I thank you for that.

So what I'll do is I'll pray for you.

I'll pray extra hard for abundance and prosperity.

Please, Pastor.

Is there any way I can do something around the church?

Paul.

Anything? I just--

Now, I open my doors of the church

every Wednesday to hear the needs of the congregation,

but only for a limited time.

Others are waiting.

Let's be considerate.

Yes, sir.

Here you go, sweetie.

How you doing?

You look good.

You guys okay?

Good luck.

Ms. Graham?

Pastor Taylor will see you now.

Ms. Graham, how can I be of service?

I've been coming here for nine years.

You know we got a shot at this.

Chuck, we need to be in this competition.

For real.

Look, just because me and your pop was cool.

We came up together in South Memphis.

Your pop was a wild boy back in the day.

He used to keep an eight ball in his sock in high school.

Thank you, Chuck!

How are you going to tell me that I can't

come and see my own daughter?

I am not telling you that you cannot see your daughter.

I'm telling you that she cannot operate a business in my house.

A business is an exchange of money.

I'm not paying her to do my hair.

She came out of my vagina.

28 hours of labor.

Got my titties all sagging and shit.

Mama.

She owe me more than some cornrows.

I don't want to hear all your business.

Shane.

- Keisha, we talked about this. - I know.

Now, you are forcing my hand.

This is the last time.

I promise. - Here.

- What's this? - Your rent is increasing.

Uh-uh.

Mortgage, interest rates, inflation.

I got to pass the cost on to you.

Don't say anything.

Shut up.

I done had about enough of you.

$250, Shane?

That's a big-ass increase.

You've been paying below market price

since you moved in here.

Now, if you having problems, you can ask your daddy,

not your trifling-ass mama.

Shut up.

Shane, you don't even know me like that.

I pay my rent.

See where you get it from.

'Cause I don't know who he think he is.

I'll get a lawyer and sue his ass.

Okay, Mom, but I need you to keep in mind that I'm

the one that got to live here.

So I don't need you doing nothing extra

and making it awkward for me.

Damnit, Keisha, that hurts.

Ma, you can't keep moving your head.

Just relax.

Don't tell me to relax.

I'm the mama.

Your daddy called me, telling me

you ain't even returning his calls.

Been busy with work.

He asked if I knew when you was graduating.

When you gon' tell him you dropped out?

Why, Ma?

So he can tell me how disappointed in me he is?

So he can start a sermon and find scriptures about how

pathetic and a failure I am?

He wouldn't do that.

And it's been six months, Keisha.

Not you taking up for him.

Oh, as far as I'm concerned, he can go play in traffic.

Oh, my god.

Him and that little barely-legal, raggedy bitch.

Ma.

Where's the lie?

She's barely legal.

And--

She's a trifling bitch.

Watch your mouth.

Ma, you and my daddy have been divorced for years now.

Why do you still go to that church every Sunday?

Because it's about the message, not the messenger.

I follow the scripture, not the man.

Plenty other churches, Ma.

All my friends go to that church.

And I keep your daddy honest.

Shoot, as long as I'm sitting up in that front row,

he has got to check his ego at the door and that hypocrisy

and deliver a true living word.

I helped him build that church from the ground up.

I am entitled to reap the benefits.

Okay, there we go.

The money.

Well, it's good for his image if we

can be cordial and co-parent.

Without that, the money dries up for all of us.

Well, Mama, I'm grown.

Let it dry up.

You are grown now.

You know, I sheltered a lot of things

from you because you were a child.

But your daddy crossed over a lot of people

to get to where he is.

You think people respect your daddy.

No, they don't.

They fear him.

Hell, it took me years to get up the courage

to leave and get sober.

I got a lot of that courage from you.

Don't worry, Francis.

I got a plan.

You see, I've been having these dreams at night,

and I've been seeing these numbers--

4, 3, 9, 7, 2.

So I've been going by the gas station,

and I've been grabbing these Quick Picks every day

for the past three weeks.

Now our odds will go up.

Now, Francis.

Now, you wouldn't talk like that to your grandmama,

and you don't talk like that to me.

Grandma was still here, we wouldn't even

be in this situation.

And you for damn sure wouldn't be sitting out there getting

Francis, you hear me?

Is everything okay at home?

Yeah, of course.

Why would you ask that?

You seem a little distracted in class.

No.

I was just on my phone for a quick second.

I'm not only talking about today.

Oh, well, sometimes I do have to stay

up late because my daughter has trouble breathing.

I have to give her her treatment.

Sometimes we just stay up and talk.

Well, I am a little concerned.

You enrolled with so much passion.

Things started great.

Then a decline.

Tyra, I guess my question is, do you really want to do this?

Of course.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

This is your grade so far.

Wait, what?

No. No, no, no.

This can't be right.

you lose your scholarship.

I just came out here to get some fresh air.

You could have opened a window at your house for that.

Now, I hope you're happy.

You got me out here when I should be home,

preparing for my next sermon.

You didn't have to come.

Hey, don't get smart.

You wasn't raised like this.

How was I raised, Daddy?

Sheltered?

Controlled?

You mean housed?

Supported?

Kept safe?

Kept safe by keeping me from moving to California?

You weren't mature enough for that, Keisha.

And that's clear across the country.

it's mine, if I'm paying for it.

There you go, using your money as a carrot stick.

I'm not a puppet.

I dropped out of Southwest.

What?

Keisha, what's wrong with you?

Daddy, please.

Just listen to me.

After Rome died, I couldn't focus.

I didn't care about school.

I didn't care about anything.

So I dropped out.

And I knew you hated Rome, so I knew you wouldn't

understand how I was feeling.

So I lied to you about going to class for the past six months.

So that's why you came to the rink.

Keisha, maybe you should talk to someone.

I know a few counselors at the church.

What they gon' tell me?

Who killed Rome? Or why?

Keisha, I did not hate Jerome.

But I knew you deserved better.

I see this is still affecting you,

but I need you to get past it.

How about, uh--

I put out a reward?

$25k.

Maybe that'll get people talking.

I'd like that.

Okay.

All right.

Come on.

Let's get you home.
