Yo, you heard about all the jackings?

They even said a few folks came here and got they whips tooken.

Damn.

They know who it is?

Probably some of them young boys

from the north, or shit, maybe even the government,

you know, trying to keep us down by causing confusion

and shit amongst each other.

You know how that shit go.

Yeah.

In more ways than one.

Damn.

You wanna be cheap and get four.

Now I gotta go to the beauty supply store

and get some more hair.

And you paying?

Hey, Ms. Norene.

Girl, I saw that boy.

I said you is fruit to the loop.

Oh, girl, I heard they got some new wigs in.

I'm gonna go check them out.

I gotta get some edge control.

All right.

Keisha?

Shit.

The $40 hair braider she is.

My prices went up last year.

Well, your homegirl Fran owe me a new wig.

So I'm gonna need you to pay for that.

What do Fran got to do with me?

Y'all partners, right?

Heard y'all asses signed up for the Skaterade.

It's just something to do.

Why you wasting your time?

Fran just gon' bring y'all down.

Y'all ain't gon' stand a chance.

If we ain't stand a chance, why you so pressed?

You got a smart ass mouth.

Look, what's your issue, Bria?

I ain't never did shit to you.

You think I don't see the way Von look at you?

He used to look at me the same way.

That ain't got nothing to do with me.

I just mind the business that pays me.

Bitch, you been flawed.

You think I'm stupid, hoe?

I know you was with him last night.

That was strictly business.

What kind of business you got kissing

my nigga outside at 2:00 AM?

Lying hoe.

You got me fucked up.

- Hold on, Bria. - Get her ass, Bri.

Bria, stop.

You think Von gon' still think you pretty

with a buck fitty cross your face?

Or maybe I'll break one of your legs so you can't skate.

You choose.

Bria, I ain't got no issue with you.

You been at this since high school.

We too grown for this shit.

She ain't got none of her

girls here to save her now.

Oh, but I got one of them.

Oh, my God. Keisha, what the fuck?

- You want some too, bitch? - Hell nah.

Yeah, I ain't think so.

What the fuck?

I'mma see about that wig, 'cause it look like you

going to be needing it, bitch.

- Fuck off. - She just tased me?

Why the fuck did you let that happen?

Where the hell was you at?

You were supposed to shank the bitch.

♪ I'm a lady and I like it reverse ♪

To the side a little.

Arch your back a little more, bitch.

All right, there you go.

Come on, legs.

Face. Yes!

There you go.

Big energy.

♪ I know you want to pull up on this Memphis titty ♪

Yes, woo-hoo!

All right.

I think we got it.

Whoo! Go, Mommy!

Thank you, my little number one fan.

You did good, Mommy.

You are flawless.

You are sure to get an agent with these new shots.

I sure hope so.

You think you can, like, do something about my stomach?

Snatch my waist and lift my ass a little bit?

You know I'm a magician, right?

Okay, good.

So what's up with what's-his-name?

Now, why you bring him up?

You know we ain't together.

Y'all break up and get back together

more than anybody I know.

But y'all still living together?

It's free.

Plus, it helps me with Deja.

His mama is a bitch, though.

Grandma's a bitch?

Deja, baby, you don't say that.

Don't-- don't say that.

That girl is a parrot.

What are you gonna do when you

become a big model star in LA?

Well, thinking I get me a maid, a babysitter.

Hell, a butler.

I know that's right.

I'm down bad right now with nursing.

I got this test coming up, and if I fail,

I lose my whole scholarship.

Ty, I see how passionate you are about your daughter,

your modeling career.

All you gotta do is apply that same passion to your schooling.

Nobody said it was gon' be easy.

Congratulations, Mr. And Mrs. Martin.

24 years tomorrow, right? - Yes.

That's great.

And it's good to see that you still

recognize the value in coming to counseling

and staying in counseling.

It's incredible. Thank you.

Thank you, Pastor.

Now, we all have to continue to nurture our bond

with open communication.

It's tough times we living in.

Envy, jealousy.

Nobody wants to see your love win.

Yeah.

Working the evenings has been tough on us.

My wife, Farrah, and myself.

It's like we switch shifts.

When I'm off, she's off to work or helping out at the church.

I mean, I love and support that,

but it feels like we're roommates sometimes.

Sometimes I feel like I should quit my job in order to--

No!

No!

I wouldn't do that.

It's tough.

That's the sacrifice you make for us.

And I love you for that.

I love you.

That's beautiful, beautiful.

Kyle, love is patient.

You stay the course.

You have to believe that everything you build

is gonna pay off.

Because it will.

I'll be one sec.

Hello?

You got him?

Okay.

Yes.

How long can you hold him for?

Understood.

I'll make my way.

Okay, you lovebirds.

Unfortunately, this session is gonna have

to end a little bit early.

But congratulations, Mr. And Mrs. Martin.

Proud of you.

Thank you.

And, Kyle, stay the course.

Trust me.

It's worth it.

Y'all have a good night.

All this love, man.

Y'all beautiful couples.

Beautiful.

What do you think about this lip?

Nobody wears red no more, Mom.

Really? Since when?

You didn't get that email?

You didn't check that spam in your AOL account?

Shut up, Keisha.

Girl, just do nude.

It's less desperate.

Girl, I am not desperate.

Oh, I ain't seen you wear a heel since my high

school graduation.

Oh, don't remind me.

You ain't know heels and grass ain't mix?

My whole class was laughing at you.

Fuck them kids.

Girl, don't.

You really like this guy, going out with him again.

I like attention.

And tonight we're going dancing.

My daddy know you going dancing?

Oh, child, his ego will be bruised to think

there's somebody other than him that can compare.

And Daddy do got the biggest ego east of the Mississippi.

I have thought about your daddy's feelings

for long enough, even after the divorce.

Now it's all about me.

You still manage to support him and that church.

I manage to go to church and get the message.

Savion screwed over a lot of people.

It's only right that I right those

wrongs and be somebody in the church

that they can trust and depend on.

I'm proud of you.

Oh, that's him.

- Let's get it. - Let's go.

Let's get this man.

Let me see how he looking, child.

You do.

And he better at least be cute, because if he ain't cute--

You better not say nothing to your daddy.

I know that much.

Stop it.

You look great.

Hi.

Hey.

Rob, this is my daughter, Keisha.

Keisha, this is Rob. - Hi.

Hi, Keisha.

It's nice to meet you.

Club rose from Beale Street, ain't it?

Uh-uh.

It's beautiful.

Thank you, Rob.

Why you ain't married already?

- Keisha! - What?

No, no, it's okay, Carolyn.

I'm just trying to make sure you ain't

got no secret family in a different state,

you know, being that you a truck driver and all.

Yeah, well, you know, it's a valid question.

You know, you wondering, who is this strange man

coming up in here, taking your mom out, right?

Dressed like a banker.

I didn't want to say it, but you did, so.

Okay, look, you ain't got nothing to worry about,

all right?

I don't have a secret family anywhere.

I'm not on the most wanted list.

I'm just a guy.

I enrolled in AA, and I met your mother,

and she's given me something to finally look forward to.

Hmm.

Make sure you get her back by 11:00.

I'm grown.

You heard me.

You should lock the place up before you leave.

Take that meat out the freezer.

Mom.

You look pretty. - Thank you.

- And he kind of cute. - Be nice.

Okay.

Two virgin margaritas.

And they cost the same as the alcoholic ones.

Oh, we would've been better off getting the real deal.

Don't tempt me with a good time.

Cheers.

To what?

To new beginnings, here and now, even

though you don't like crowds.

Well, you said it was live jazz.

I couldn't pass that up. - Oh, okay.

So it was the music and not me.

Okay.

Good music is my weakness.

But so is a bearded man with a full set of lips.

I hope there's no church folks in here

all up in our business, though.

Honestly, I wouldn't even care.

How long were you and Savion married?

Uh-uh.

No, we are not talking about my ex-husband tonight.

Absolutely not.

Okay, okay. My bad, Carolyn.

Tonight's all about us.

Speaking of us, Erykah Badu is

supposed to be performing at the Beale Street Festival

in two weeks.

I can get us tickets.

Two weeks?

Damn.

Nah, I don't think I can.

I just got a call today.

I might have to get back on the road soon.

Really?

Thought it was slow.

Yeah, but you know, sometimes jobs happen

when you least expect it.

I'm sorry.

And actually, I'm pretty tired, you know?

It's been hard on the road.

Back's been acting up from all that driving.

Sounds like you need a massage.

Well, it sounds like you know where I can get one.

I really, really want you to go to this show.

How much are you supposed to make on this trip?

What, are you trying to buy me out?

I'm just asking.

I can't take your money like that, Carolyn.

Look, I just gotta focus on getting my own fleet,

hiring my own drivers.

Okay? Then we can spend some more time together.

It's coming.

How do you get your own fleet?

A business loan.

But I need leverage.

You know, or a cosigner, someone with assets

or a business as collateral.

I would love to help with that, but I have nothing.

Except my last name.

But that holds weight in the city.

Yeah?

If only you could get Chick-fil-A to open on Sunday.

Not that kind of weight.

Shoot, I even gave back my ring.

- What? - Mm-hmm.

So you really left with nothing?

Nothing.

Except my stake in the church.

Yeah?

Why'd you keep that?

It's my way to cleanse my guilty conscience for all

those years of enabling my ex.

He made the mess.

I cleaned it up.

You know, it's the people, the word, the community.

I couldn't let that go.

Loyalty.

That's a rare trait these days.

$500.

Congratulations, ladies.

You thought we was gon' short you?

I wouldn't put it past your ass, Fran.

That's fucked up, Chuck.

So we good?

Yeah, we good.

I'm gonna write you this receipt.

What?

How you holding up, Keish?

What you talking about, Chuck?

You know what I'm talking about.

Rome. - I'm straight, Chuck.

Thanks for caring.

You know, that Rome situation almost got me shut down?

I had to hire extra security for the late night skate.

Yeah, well, you should have been done that.

Who you think paying for this shit?

$300 a night.

Y'all don't even want to pay the entrance fee.

Sneaking your folk in and out through the exit.

You think I don't be knowing?

But that's okay, though.

I'm gonna get my money back with this Skaterade.

You can believe that.

Thanks, Chuck.

Chuck, we don't do that.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold up.

What was that?

Come on, you're going to judge me.

Do not judge or you too will be judged.

Okay, okay.

It's just a little stash of leftover weed.

Helps me sleep at night.

I didn't want you to smash it with all that ass.

Hey, you want to hit it later?

I haven't smoked since before I had Keisha.

That just means that you're long overdue.

Sobriety.

Weed ain't alcohol last time I checked.

Hmm?

So you're not intimidated?

Scared?

Scared of what?

My current ex-husband.

Could be dangerous, Rob.

I thought you said you ain't want to talk about him.

- Touché. - Look.

Hey, look at me.

I ain't scared of no man.

All right?

I eat danger for breakfast, lunch, and supper.

Supper?

- Supper. - What the hell is supper?

It's supper.

I'm sorry.

I'm not gon' smoke with you tonight.

But maybe I can get

a little buzz off the contact.

Mm.

It's been a long time for me.

It's been a long time for me too.

right after we do that hip swing,

you need to get a little lower. - What you mean?

You need to bend your knees a little bit more.

And just vibe with it, you know?

You trying to say I ain't got no rhythm?

You the only Black person I know that can't catch a beat.

Shut up, Ty.

Maybe I should go find somebody else.

Girl, who?

Anybody in here.

Naw, fuck that.

We all in this together.

Right.

Plus, you literally just paid your part.

Yeah, we did.

We did.

She was supposed to be good at

come up with yours.

I twisted Von's hair.

Bitch, you did what?

I gave him a retwist.

That's how I got the rest.

Was that all he did?

Did he knock the cobwebs off that thing?

This girl went from retwisting hair to getting

twisted like a pretzel.

No, I did not.

He was actually very respectful.

And he paid me double what I charge.

Your homegirl Bria wasn't too happy about that, though.

Ran up on me while I was shopping for hair

and I had to tase that ass.

- What? - What?

Hey, this bitch wilding, man.

I gotta put an end to this shit.

No, girl, we good.

We just gon' leave it on the rink floor.

We too close to our goal.

And honestly, I ain't trying to lose out on that $500.

That's true.

He did kiss me.

Thank you, Jesus!

Fuck y'all.

What?

Dang, that girl kissing.

Speaking of boo things, Ty, look

Bitch, you stop.

Hey, what does strap on be like, though? 'Cause I

done heard some stories.

I wouldn't know.

We just chilling.

She did say she going to put me in a new music video, though.

The lead.

Okay, lead.

It would be some good exposure.

But at what cost, though?

That's the motherfucking question.

Hey, bitch, we better shut the fuck up.

Bonafide might be the reason Ty got her half.

On God.

Yeah, Bonafide be looking out for sure.

I bet she do.

And on that note, I'm out this bitch.

You done, Fran?

Yeah, my ankle is swollen like a pregnant lady,

Stuart, I ain't got time for your games.

What the fuck you here for, then, Fran?

I want you to check it for bugs.

Yeah.

You want me to check and see if they can track your ass

in this motherfucker, right?

Ain't that protocol?

You care about one protocol and not the other.

How much?

Normally, this is included in the whole chop package, baby.

But if you want it a la carte, old Stuart

do it for you for $250.

$250! It take you two minutes.

It's not the time.

It's the value of the service.

- Well, I ain't got that. - What you got then, Fran?

$50.

$50?

Mean some shit I barely can get 2 for $20

at Applebee's somewhere.

Got to be out of your rabbit ass, mind.

Look, Stuart, I'm about to bring you

in a whole lot of business.

I'm good at this shit.

I ain't asking for a lot.

Just do this for me this one time.

Lucky your ass cute.

Where you fucking ho'ing, man?

Let me go.

Don't Eddie! Stop!

This what the fuck you be doing when I'm at home

putting our daughter in bed?

I can't hit the rink, Eddie?

I'm practicing for Skaterade.

I told you I was entering.

What's the issue?

That ain't look like no practicing.

Here I am trying to get money for your funky ass

little competition and you in there with a fucking he-she.

I ain't with her. Fran and Keish just left.

Bonafide just got here.

And why are you worried about what the fuck I'm doing anyway?

We ain't together.

'Cause your ass in the streets, bruh.

but you ain't grateful at all.

You act like I'm some type of charity case or something.

Don't you ever say that about my mama, all right?

Don't talk shit about her like that.

You don't ever talk about her like that.

What the fuck you doing?

Are you gone off the juice?

You hitting bitches now?

So this is your nigga now or what?

You think you a nigga?

You confused.

You can get all the tattoos.

You can wear all the baggy clothes you want.

But you ain't never going to be no real man, no matter

The guy that killed Jerome.

What?

Are you serious?

The reward worked.

He turned himself in earlier today.

Who was it?

Some kid from the neighborhood.

Turns out Jerome owed him some money.

Old gambling debt.

When he didn't pay up, he took him out.

Damn shame.

You there?

Yeah, I'm here.

You heard me?

Yeah, I heard you.

That's great.

I just--

I can't believe it.

Believe it.
