Girl, you almost...

Okay, wait a minute.

Don't.

No, where are you going?

Matter of fact, better.

- It's just Ty. - Who...

It's just Ty.

You doing all of this for Ty?

Man, you really don't care about the Sugar List, do you?

This is not for Ty.

Okay, keep telling yourself that.

Telling myself what?

It's not like that with Ty.

Why?

- It's not like that with Ty. - Why don't you do red tonight

since we are gonna be spicy?

- We're all pretty for Ty. - Can you let me finish?

Please, and thank you.

- Because you love me so much. - Tyler and Soph.

- Oh, now you have to go. - Sitting in a tree.

Bye.

- K-I-S-S. - Bye.

Ugh.

How y'all doing?

- Hey, Ty. - Hey, Soph.

You still coming?

Yeah, I'll be there in a few.

What are you wearing?

Please tell me you're not wearing that old blazer.

Why are you always hating on my blazer?

This thing pulls, I get the aunties and the nieces.

Okay, whatever.

Hey, I need you to hurry up and get here,

we're gonna lose out on our scouting spot.

We got some things to scout tonight, girl.

I was thinking maybe tonight

we skip the scouting

and just listen to music, you know, and like, relax.

You good?

Yeah, I was.

Oh Lord, your girl just walked in.

Who?

Jasmine's fine self.

Jasmine's not my girl.

Well, ain't y'all soros or something?

Yeah, we are, but that doesn't make us friends.

You gotta put me on.

Trust me, you do not want her.

She will eat you alive.

Oh, she'll eat, oh, that's what I want.

Let's go.

Ew.

You are annoying.

Are you coming, or what?

- Where are you? - Yes, I'm coming,

but I'm not making any promises about Jasmine though.

Oh, that's all right.

I could pull Jasmine on my own.

I'm gonna save our spot, and I'll be waiting.

Bye.

Bye.

What do you mean you can't do this?

Yo, T, you coming?

Well, Yala, you have made real progress.

Tell me how you feel.

Honestly, I was scared.

I thought that if I opened up,

he would use it against me.

So you thought letting him in meant losing?

Exactly.

That means you're realizing that it's not a war

and that it's okay to be vulnerable.

Right...

I love him,

I'm just afraid to get hurt.

Fear is human,

but you took risk, and he received it.

Now let's do the same for him.

Think I can do that.

Great.

Thank you, Sophie.

You've helped me so much.

I hate you won't be doing counseling anymore.

When will you be closing for good?

At the end of this month.

I can't believe the Relationship Whisperer

won't be here for me to talk to anymore.

Yeah.

Well, I'll whisper to people who pay, and I can be here.

Great session.

Hi, I'm Dr. Tyler Franks,

a clinical social psychologist.

In my years of studying human behavior,

I've come to realize that most dating apps

perpetuate the gamification of relationships and love.

Swipes and matches,

algorithms,

reward systems,

dopamine hits.

None of these are conducive with building

long-lasting connections.

These apps aren't trying to match you,

they just want to keep you swiping.

Let me introduce you to Rings.

It is a revolutionary dating service

that uses the leading technology

to help you find your forever.

Download the app,

take the quiz,

and start saving for your wedding ring.

And cut.

How was it?

- It was great. - Felt a little stiff.

Ah, very well done.

Ah, Langston.

Thank you for letting us film in your house, man.

Hey, I'm just repaying the karma.

I can't wait to be your first testimonial after the wedding.

Wow.

Oh, how was the proposal?

It was amazing.

- Yeah? - Yes.

Yeah, Germany?

Switzerland.

Switzerland.

Bianca's always wanted to go, so I decided to take her.

- Congratulations. - Hey.

Happy for you guys.

Hey, I owe it all to you,

and to someone I'm definitely looking forward

to you meeting tomorrow night.

Mm, little mystery.

Ah, I think you'll appreciate this one.

They helped Bianca and I connect certain dots.

Okay, okay.

Well, I look forward to it.

Great.

I'll have my people send you the reservation tomorrow.

Have your people do that.

- Yes. - Okay?

See you tomorrow night.

Tomorrow, man.

Yeah, it's a good shirt.

No, nevermind, nevermind.

Here y'all go.

Anything else?

Nope.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, Steve, I take Steve to go pick up his other kid,

and lemme tell you that boy mama a whole mess.

Like, she threw a brick at the car, your car,

and I'm in it.

That's my life.

How many spots did you take him today?

Couple.

Which reminds me, can you cover this?

I spent most of my money on gas.

Sure, yeah.

Speaking of, how's the job search going?

Now you know, you trying to start trouble asking me that.

No, I'm not.

All the jobs you send me,

they want somebody with a degree.

They require a certificate.

- That's just trade work. - I'm not about to spend

all that damn money on a certificate.

And that's why I said I will get it for you.

I'm not about to have you hold that over my head

when you washing dishes,

"Remember, I paid for that."

But you'll let me pay for meal after meal

and I probably could have paid your tuition.

You want to go to these expensive ass spots.

It's not that expensive.

Then why are you making it

a big deal having to pay for me?

I'm not making it a big...

I forgive you.

I know how emotional you women can be,

and it's my job as a man to let you vent.

But we can't

Okay, too far, too far.

Marc, you know what?

I think we're done.

Impossible, I only ate like three wings.

No, we're done.

You know what?

You know what your problem is?

You think you better than me.

All you liberated women do.

Marc, lower your voice.

For what?

Liberated?

And do you mean employed?

Fine.

Ouch.

Marc, I am not breaking up with you

because I'm liberated or highbrowed,

or the fact that you're struggling financially.

I'm breaking up with you

because you don't care that you're stagnant.

You don't listen.

And honestly, half the time you not making any sense either.

When have I not made sense?

Last week you tried to convince me

that the earth was flat.

That makes sense.

No, it doesn't.

And we don't either.

So you just gonna leave me to pay for this,

this high ass meal?

Women, right?

How was your night?

Okay, say less.

Yeah.

So?

Sophie, what happened?

I broke up with that idiot.

It's about damn time.

You knew you hitched your wagon

to a cart with square wheels, come on.

You know you have a very poetic way of telling the truth.

That's why they pay me the big bucks.

Ugh, speaking of, I have an AM segment,

so I gotta go to bed.

But don't stress you did the right thing, okay?

It's for the best.

Oh, I know.

Oh, Sunday, girl's brunch, mimosas is on me.

Yes, you love me.

Love you.

Oh, I might turn some music on, if you don't mind.

Is it sad music?

It's what I need.

Then I don't mind.

This will knock me right out, you're good.

I love you.

Goodnight.

Love you.

Did you get that email I sent you?

I did.

Well, did you read it?

I did not.

Well, the numbers took a dip,

the investors aren't gonna be too happy about that.

We're barely halfway into the quarter,

the entire design is based on time passing.

What, this has layers to it.

Maybe it's too many.

How many steps would you take to find her?

In the dating app world?

Preferably one.

Well, that's not what this is.

I know, we're not "Perpetuating the gamification of love."

But don't you think that might be

taking some of the fun out of it?

Nope.

Look, I get it, it's not a dating app,

and it's not full on matchmaking.

It's not.

But that's a tough sell

when you want a broad appeal.

I don't care about a broad appeal.

And that's the reason I'm the one

on the call with the investors.

Okay, you got that one, true.

Look, it's a great idea, man,

it's just missing some spark.

What time's your meeting with Langston?

Mm, seven.

Cool.

We can't afford to lose him.

He could be what we need to get to the next level.

I'm on it.

All right?

All right.

He has this mystery person he wants me to meet though.

Hmm, I wonder what that's about.

I don't know,

who knows with Langston, you know how he is.

I do.

Just make sure you go with your game face.

Come on, always.

All right.

It was a full moon,

I proposed to her on the balcony overlooking the valley.

The clear quartz, energy is perfectly aligned.

Her official ring was a diamond.

But the quartz shined in the moonlight

and revealed the purity of his intentions.

Mm.

- Want to see? - Of course.

The diamond is a bit much, but he likes it.

Well, the diamond's beautiful.

Hello there.

You have a reservation?

No, but I'm joining someone.

Have you found her yet?

Yes, please tell.

With work, I've been caught up to the point

that I haven't been dating much, so.

Oh, come on, man.

You're so young, successful, intelligent.

Surely you can find someone.

Don't get me wrong,

I don't have a problem with meeting women,

it's keeping them that's the issue.

Shouldn't the app help with that?

Well, it would, if I actually used it.

You don't use your own app?

It's in the beta phase at the moment,

so using myself as a test subject would taint the research.

So, the app is struggling?

A bit.

May I take your hand?

I believe that what you just said

is counterproductive to your business model, Tyler.

Before you answer, take it in.

Mm.

Yes, yes.

So what are you looking for?

Hmm.

Well, I want a love that...

That gets better over time,

and doesn't fade or abandon you when things get difficult.

That's nice, Ty.

Hi, I hope I'm not too late.

- Sophie. - Sophie.

Sophie?

Hey, Tyler.

You two know each other?

Well, yeah, you can say that.

Please, sit.

Sit, sit, please.

Okay.

Hmm.

Oh, this is definitely twin flame energy.

I mean, it's obvious that something is here,

please do share with us.

We were friends in college,

I haven't seen her since graduation.

Yeah.

You two dated.

- No. - No.

No, no, no, we never dated, we just had our own thing.

Mm.

- Oh. - Yeah.

I can tell.

Hmm.

Yeah.

This is great, the matchmaking dynamic duo.

Matchmaking?

Tyler developed a matchmaking app

that brought us together.

Tyler Franks made a matchmaking app.

Don't sound so surprised.

I mean, you've been so terrible at choosing women.

I've never been terrible at choosing women.

Grace.

Grace was nice.

Rynne?

Rynne was kind of nice,

- but she was cool- - Oh, Kristy.

Kristy?

Kristy, Kristy...

She was fair.

Kandy?

Kandy was questionable,

- I'll give you that. - Questionable?

She had a lot of question Marcs.

She had a lot of question Marcs.

Yeah, and I questioned you.

- You chose- - Exclamation point

- when I was thinking a about- - A lot of them.

Needless to say, nevertheless,

between then and now,

I've accumulated enough wisdom and experience

to inform my app, Rings.

Rings?

Rings.

Got it.

So she's the other half?

Right.

You brought us together,

Sophie and her brilliant counseling made us stable.

Wait, you are a relationship counselor?

Yes, and don't sound so surprised.

Langston and I have different energies,

but Sophie helped them to become complimentary.

Sophie is extremely gifted.

This occasion is a thank you to you both.

I'm feeling some very sad energy,

but it's obvious that their heart chakras are open.

I'm sure they had reasons, dear.

Hmm.

It's like I said.

It's just a bad environment sometimes.

- Rings just got- - So what happened?

- What happened with what? - Huh?

You spoke of the past life,

you said you too were close.

Where did the gap come in?

Speak in truth.

Well, life just pulled us in different directions.

Mm.

I have an idea.

Oh?

Mm?

I think the matchmakers should be matched.

Oh.

The match, with the what a what?

Not with each other, but in general.

I challenge you to find someone for one another.

Oh, yes, I love this idea,

and you two know each other so well.

Oh, this is perfect.

- Yes. - Yes.

Well, I just don't think it's a good idea.

Oh, nonsense.

And here is the best part.

There's more?

If you two can find someone for each other

by our wedding day, I will fund your app, Tyler,

and your practice, Sophie.

Well, say something.

- Wait, are you serious? - That's two weeks away.

- You- - Are you...

Two weeks?

Listen, I believe in you both, and what you are doing.

You have brought us so close.

- We are family. - Yes.

Family.

Well, Langston,

your offer is very generous, but I'm gonna.

Yeah, thank you.

I don't think that's the best.

But right now is.

Listen, you do not have to give me an answer today.

Just know, when you're ready, so is my bank account.

More wine!

- Yes, celebration. - Yes.

Sell liberation.

Let's toast to love and abundance.

Love and abundance, abundance and love.

Yes, yes, yes.

Abundance and love.

Yes.

Yes, can I celebrate with my love?

Of course, celebrate.

- Wonderful. - Yes.

- Amazing. - Oh, dessert wine.

Oh, please.

Yay.

So...

Is there any way you'd be interested

in investing outside of this little challenge?

Possibly?

You afraid you can't find a match for Sophie?

Nah, no, I'm not afraid of nothing.

I just don't want to set her up for failure.

Well, I'll say this,

if the founder of the company isn't confident,

I wouldn't be confident in investing.

- I'll see you later. - Yeah.

So, crazy idea, right?

Not completely.

You would do it?

I mean, it's not like

it's not something we've done before.

You know, it wouldn't be our first time.

Hmm mm.

It's just this time we'd be getting paid for it.

Hmm mm.

It's just ridiculous to even offer that challenge.

Who would do that?

Rich people.

Rich people do that.

They're not on the same planet as us,

they just go visit us normies from time to time.

Right, normies.

Remember you thought you were normal?

You remember that?

Hey, I have somewhere to be.

Langston said he give us time to think about it.

Let's take that time.

Oh, okay, yeah.

Let's take all the time we need, right?

I'm gonna think about it.

I'm gonna think about this wine, actually.

What the

So how long you gonna babysit that mimosa?

Okay, what's going on?

I know you not bent out of shape over Ty.

I've never seen him like that before.

We were close and I've never been

that close with anyone since.

Okay, so are you forgetting that you're the person

who left him and didn't tell him why?

Yeah, but I have my reasons.

Your reasons, okay, which were?

Hmm, okay, Sophie, how can you help the entire

world with their relationship problems

but you can't help yourself?

Langston has these big ideas and I don't even know.

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

And you have to do what?

- Find Sophie a man. - By when?

Their wedding day.

And he's gonna do what?

- Fund both our companies. - Oh.

How much is he giving you?

He didn't say but sounds like a blank check.

That would be the saving grace we need.

Yeah.

So you're gonna do it, or what?

I don't know,

I don't think I could trust her.

I think it'll be good for us to rebuild our friendship.

- The friend, okay- - Yes.

How?

How is this gonna help you rebuild the friendship?

Like he said,

we used to do this before,

so it'll be good for us to reconnect.

What we had was real,

deeper than anything I've ever had with a man,

and I just threw it away.

I don't even know why she left, man.

I stopped trying to figure out you and Sophie in college.

What I do know is the clouds are coming,

if you don't do this now,

we may have to shut down Rings for good.

I won't have to end my practice

and work at a high school district.

- Okay, I get it. - Hmm mm.

I'm sorry, I just don't wanna see you get hurt, that's it.

I appreciate that, but I'll be fine.

Fine.

But promise me before you two

go through with this incredibly dumb,

tragically stupid idea,

that you finally tell him why you left.

Ugh, fine.

Look, I'm not the only one that has to make this decision.

If she hits me up

I'll think about it.

- All right? - All right, all right.

Hold on.

It's Sophie.

What?

The universe has conspired.

Shut up, man.

Oh, this is gonna be fun.

This is gonna be some crazy emotional damage.

It'll be fine.

It'll be great.

- It will be. - Awesome.

It already is.

Sounds like you got a date, my boy.

So, what are we doing here?

We are having drinks.

Having a drink

at a table,

at a bar.

- Yeah. - All right.

Thinking about changing your mind?

I am thinking about if this is hopeless or not.

Why would you think it's hopeless?

Because you're single.

By choice.

Yeah, people who can't find someone says that.

You really think I can't find someone?

Well, that's why I'm here to help you.

Who said I need...

I don't need your help.

Langston said you needed my help.

Langston, I don't give a damn about

what Langston talking about.

You serious?

Yeah.

Oh.

Okay?

Pick a woman.

Any woman in here.

- Go ahead. - Ooh.

Ooh.

- Rico Suave, are we? - Yeah.

All that.

Okay.

Let's see what we've got here.

Stalling.

Left shoulder, black dress, red hat.

Ready, set, go.

Her?

Her.

Good luck.

Take notes.

How you doing, somebody sitting here?

Yeah, I just wanted to talk to you.

Name's Tyler.

How'd it go?

225-891-1500-

All right, all right.

Her name is Shante.

She's a professor at LSU, and she loves seafood.

Mm.

Go figure, I love seafood too.

Okay, I didn't expect that one.

I bet you didn't.

Why would you think that

someone that's developed an app

that helps people find their perfect match

not know how to talk to women?

Because that's not even authentic,

you can't find someone like that.

Oh, I think this number is pretty authentic.

- Oh, we'll see. - Yeah.

I don't even know if that's real.

It ain't gonna be fake, trust me.

See a lot has changed, love.

Mm, I see.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Your turn.

What?

Yeah, you're not the only one

that needs to evaluate what they're working with.

Okay, fair enough.

Choose.

- Anyone? - Anyone.

- Anyone? - Hmm mm.

Right behind you.

Him?

- What? - I mean, he seems your speed.

You need to speed it up a little bit more.

Okay.

- Watch and learn. - Watching.

Hi.

Hey, what's your name?

How'd it go?

Shut up.

You got a good right hand on you,

- all I'm saying. - Shut up.

All he wanted to do is get laid, okay?

So smooth.

From what I'm seeing,

finding you a man is not gonna be the hard part.

Mm.

It's finding the right one.

Oh, so you think you can find me a man?

Oh, it's what I do.

You confident.

Of course, I get results, baby.

So, we're doing this or what?

Sure, let's do it.

Let's do it.

To wing men.

To wing men.

♪ I'll be your wing man

So, if we're going to do this, we need a plan.

Yeah.

If we're really gonna do this,

I need to know the kind of woman you like.

Mm.

My type?

Yeah, like, describe her.

What's your ideal woman?

Okay, okay.

I want to go for a power couple vibe match.

I like a pretty little cutie with a big booty.

You're annoying.

For real, seriously.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

I like a woman that's driven,

educated,

thoughtful.

I know I want a Black woman.

I want someone that sees me, like really sees me,

sees through my nonsense, and be my safe space.

So you want someone authentic?

Definitely.

Yeah, you don't want that.

You don't want that.

Well, that is exactly what I want.

How you gonna ask me a question

and I give you the answer and you just.

- Because- - "No, you don't want that."

Tell me how close have you come to it?

Be specific.

Close.

- How close? - Close-ish.

What's ish?

Jasmine from college?

You know, for a split second

I forgot you were stuck on her.

We had a thing.

We had a thing.

I like what I like.

All right.

Okay.

Okay.

If that's your type, I can find you a Jasmine type.

Oh, can you?

Yes.

Think you're that good?

I know I'm that good.

All right, Miss Relationship Whisperer.

I forgot I have a session in a few.

I'm gonna come to your house tonight

to look at the Rings app.

Yes, tonight.

- Oh, okay, yeah. - Tonight.

Make sure there's wine and food too, okay?

- Yeah, yeah. - Okay, thank you.

- Tonight. - All right, tonight.

Can't wait.

What?

I feel like I'm doing math homework.

Right?

I told you it was a bit dry.

Thank you, I thought I was the only one.

These are serious questions.

No, too serious.

Too serious.

You read the first section and you need therapy.

You made love into calculations, that nobody understands.

It is robotic.

It's precise.

Precise?

Section two.

Effective cognitive dissonance,

- navigation protocols. - Protocols, come on,

- read that. - Emotional regulation

and arousal management.

- Ah. - Example,

relational anxiety, escalated stress effects,

or inter subjective

- incongruence. - Incongruence.

Oh my God.

What?

How you communicate when you're mad.

No, I know that, but like, average person does not.

I know I don't.

See!

See!

He barely counts as the average person.

Well, damn.

Tyler, people wanna fall in love,

they don't wanna write a book report.

Maybe they should.

Maybe you made an app based on your issues.

This isn't about me.

This is about trying to find you a match.

Are you sure?

Because these questions have

Tyler, Tyler, Tyler written all over it.

Oh, right,

anything but answering the questions, huh?

Miss Deflection.

I just wanna know why they're written like this.

It is the best way for the AI to fine tune the matches.

We're matching AI?

We will be if we don't find some humans to get on the app.

Hey, you instigating, man.

That would be correct.

Tyler, why do you have me doing this?

I am making my assessment,

that is what we're doing, right?

Then what's your assessment?

Can you finish the quiz first?

I finished the quiz.

Okay.

Yeah.

What's your assessment?

Hmm.

You settle.

What?

Yeah.

What?

You settle and you don't go for what you want.

You don't know what it's like to be a woman, clearly.

But I do know you, Sophie.

Well, then, why do I settle?

Something's holding you up.

- Something like what? - I don't know.

- Like what? - I don't know.

Read your assessment,

you say you have the assessment,

- like how settle? - Maybe you found the one

and you lost them,

maybe you self-sabotage,

maybe you ghosted them like you did me.

Well, that is the end of my night.

Yeah, sounds about right.

Nice to see you, Colin.

Bye, Soph.

What?

Actually,

Tyler.

What, you had an epiphany?

I did.

Meet me at my house tomorrow

in your best date night fit.

I have an idea.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Bye, Colin.

Tyler.

Ruth.

Come on in.

Long time.

Ah, this should be fun.

What is all this?

This is your date, silly.

Not done with the assessment?

No, that part is done.

This is our own little version of pop the balloon.

Is this because I made you take that test?

- No. - No.

- No. - No?

No, you said that you want a Jasmine type,

and we're gonna see if you know what that requires.

Fine.

Fine, I'll play your little game.

What's the rules?

You make a mistake, and pop.

That's it?

That's it.

That's gonna be easy.

Let's go.

Oh, whoa.

What?

That's for yesterday.

Oh, all right, I see how this is about to go.

Have a seat.

What did I do now?

You sat down without sliding Ruth's chair out.

Did you expect Jasmine to let that go?

Come on, you know I'm a gentleman.

A gentleman does not have to announce

that he is a gentleman.

Girl, never.

Speaking of, where are the flowers?

You didn't bring flowers?

I didn't know I was supposed to bring

Are you gonna let me talk?

No.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Let's start over, huh?

Give me me another chance, huh?

Be my guest.

M'lady.

There, satisfied?

For now.

So, where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?

Us?

Oh, let's see.

You were saying how you were gonna pay for my nails

and my hair to get done, tomorrow.

What?

How much does it cost?

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Three balloons left.

I can count.

So, what are we having for dinner?

Oh, what, are we not going out to eat?

I thought you invited me for dinner.

Wait, wait, wait.

So you thought that I was gonna cook?

Mm.

For you?

With these?

- Well, yeah. - Oh.

To have an expectation that a woman like Jasmine

is gonna make you dinner, that's a huge mistake.

How come everything I say is wrong?

This game is obviously rigged.

Of course it is.

I've been trying to tell you that since undergrad,

women like Jasmine, they don't play fair.

Hmm.

Yeah.

So, what would you like to drink?

Hmm, let me think,

how about your finest glass of Armand de Brignac.

Mm.

Ace of Spades?

So, well, hey, well, you going to order

the lobster at market price too?

How did you know?

Okay, I'm done.

This is over.

I get your point.

Hmm.

Wait, what the?

I said you were right.

Why you just popped another balloon?

For taking so long to realize it.

You win.

You're right.

Happy?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

I'm very happy.

Now what happens?

Now the real work can begin.

Yeah, yeah, I'm going to go.

Yeah, I'm leaving.

You guys, you've had enough enjoyment at my expense.

Bye, Tyler.

Goodbye.

Okay.

Okay.

That's what I'm talking about.

So when you gonna tell him?

Tell him what?

Sophie.

Soph.

Oh.

It...

Oh, can I see that for a moment?

Thank you.

No.

That's for playing dumb.

Got me out here popping balloons.

Did you just...

It was totally unexpected,

but part of me had to respect their audaciousness.

Look, I told you it was a setup.

Oh, well, it went pretty good actually.

Well, you seem traumatized by it.

Nah, I'm just thinking, bro.

That's a new sensation for you.

Bro, who's side are you on?

Come on, man, yours, my friend.

Come on, man.

Plus, I kind of have to be, we're in business together.

Touche.

Speaking of that,

who are we meeting with today?

Oh, our favorite,

a tech bro with too much trust fund money,

and an inflated ego.

- What's you read on him? - Eh, 50/50.

He wants flashy.

He does.

I don't like it.

But we need it.

You need it.

No, I don't.

Look, it's getting cloudier.

The old investors saw the metrics,

they're not happy with stagnation.

So, if we don't show signs of new life, they could pull.

And unless this deal goes through with Langston,

we could be starting over from scratch.

What's the timeline?

I have a meeting with him next week.

Oh, that's the same as the wedding.

That's convenient.

Money moves fast.

So if we can get Langston's money,

we buy some more confidence.

So that means I have to go through with the bet.

That's what it's looking like.

What are these?

No.

No.

This is a no.

Hell no, you...

Didn't you have this in college?

Boy.

Oh, hey, you really think you don't need my help?

This is crazy.

We're gonna start here.

My favorites.

You know when you get that Steve Jobs money,

you're gonna need a stylist.

Like, do you think Langston dress himself?

Well, I'm not Langston,

I have my own style and it works.

Mm.

As long as I've known you,

you've tried to create this persona for yourself,

and what you wear, what you drive, girls your date,

and it's not you, at least it's not the you I know.

Perfect.

Yes, try this.

Come on, let's go.

- All right. - Thank you.

Here.

And this.

Boy, uh-uh - What?

Come on.

Nothing you haven't seen before.

To the restroom.

It's not like it's not my room, you know, but okay.

- Bye bye. - Got it.

You remember that semester when we were roommates?

Yeah, that was a disaster.

You a slob.

No, you took up all my closet space.

That was our closet.

No, no, no, that was not the agreement.

What was the agreement?

The agreement was,

it's a one bedroom apartment, right?

So, the bed is yours, bed.

That was not the agreement.

I didn't even finish.

The deal was, it's a one bedroom apartment,

so you get the bedroom,

but I was supposed to get the majority of the closet space.

That was the agreement.

- Right. - Right.

I know it drove your boyfriends crazy.

Yeah, the ones that could deal with our arrangement, yeah.

Hey, you remember Darren?

Come here.

Come.

Of course I remember Darren.

Yeah, well, I thought I was gonna have

to kick his when I walked in on you two.

You have to tuck it in like this.

I felt bad about it.

Why?

It made me wonder

if our friendship was keeping you single.

I kept me single.

Jacket.

Oh, looks like you have some skill.

Are you surprised?

Hey.

Yeah?

Let me return the favor.

What?

Let me buy something for you.

I think not.

I think so.

- We're partners now. - No.

We're in this together.

No.

Come on.

I'm not taking no.

Uh-uh.

Fine.

This is gonna be funny.

Oh no, you gonna love this.

I love this.

Tyler.

You...

- This... - Yep.

Wow.

Wow.

- Okay. - Okay.

Look at it.

Try it on.

I'll be right back.

♪ At the club it's time to mix

Viola.

Okay, okay.

I gotta Snap this.

Oh, Tyler, no.

Now, no, I'm right this time.

Why?

- "Tyler can't dress." - Oh my God.

Tyler doesn't know what he's doing.

- Okay, okay, okay. - Okay, okay.

Okay.

Take a pose for me.

♪ You know you can always count on me ♪

- Let me see. - Is that all right?

Oh.

You know what this reminds me of?

Yeah.

The day we met.

Hmm mm.

I thought you were the most curious creature,

so confident,

so you.

- It's... - And it's like you didn't

care what anyone thought.

So, is that why you kept picking on me?

- Of course. - Hmm.

Felt like you triggered my interpersonal perturbation.

Mm, you are just so encourageable, aren't you?

What's that mean?

Hey, smile.

Yes.

This is for your Rings profile.

Wait, but you could see my Rings profile?

Yeah, I'm matching you up with somebody, right?

That's what we're trying to do.

- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah.

Well, do you have a Ring profile?

I have one, but it's not active.

Oh, how you expect me to be on it

but you're not on your own app?

I mean, don't you know what apps are like for guys?

It's 70% scammers and bots,

now it's some fine bots, but they're still bots.

Do you know what it's like for women?

100% of the time it is WYDs

in your comments followed by a barrage of,

you know pictures.

You know what I mean?

That's not what I want Rings to be.

I can help you with your ratio.

Give me your phone.

No, no, I'm not giving my phone,

I know what you're trying to do.

Mm, you are afraid I'm gonna find out

that you're part of the WYD culture?

Well, you know,

I just have to say I'm more of "Hey," type of guy.

Yeah.

Phone.

Okay.

This looks like a LinkedIn profile.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Franks.

My hobbies are fishing."

You don't even like boats.

I mean, I couldn't think of anything else.

You don't have actual hobbies?

What...

Job?

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I get it, I get it.

You jumped into the grind.

You are ambitious, driven, focused.

Yeah.

But if you wanna find someone,

you have to be more than that.

But this is me.

This is not you.

If you can't be authentic,

how do you expect to attract?

Hmm, okay, okay.

You might be a little good at this.

I know.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm activating your Rings profile

and changing all this sad stuff that's in it.

All right, but not too much.

Do the same for you.

What?

Oh, you have a match.

You have a lot of matches.

Oh, surprised?

No.

Scoot over.

All right, first up is Marcus Thorn.

Lawyer.

No.

What's wrong with a lawyer?

He's gonna be too argumentative.

All right,

- I'll give you that. - Next, next.

- I'll give you that, okay. - Next.

Daniel Kim, financial analyst.

He looks like a nice guy.

He looks, you know.

- Yeah. - Approachable.

No, he looks like he'll be a blast.

- Yes. - Yeah, next.

Dang girl.

Julian Hayes, architect.

That's different.

Yeah, but I dated an architect.

I ain't never known nobody that built stuff like that.

No, they not my type though.

You haven't dated every architect.

- Come on. - Pass.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Just no.

You were talking about

you didn't want an AI boyfriend,

but you quickly on the road to that.

You're talking like you showed me

a million men and I denied 'em all.

- No, keep, next. - Yeah, but you're being.

Next.

You're being a bit unreasonable.

Come on.

Give the architect got a chance.

You got a match.

Oh, already?

Of course.

- Oh, you quick. - Yes, of course.

I know.

All right, well, now I can just get to it.

Wait, uh-uh, uh-uh.

I'll do the talking.

Oh.

All right, well, I'm logging in over here for you,

so, me too.

No, no, no, no, hold on.

Tyler, don't do that.

- Don't do that. - Dear Julian.

- Tyler, I'm gonna kill you. - I've always had

a secret thing

- for architects. - No, oh my gosh.

- Tyler, give me that. - Build something

- in me, Julian. - Give me that.

No, that's not what I said.

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

He asked you out on a date.

Huh?

A real one.

No.

- Wait, wait, wait. - No.

- Wait, no? - No.

Come on, at some point

you're gonna have to go on a date Sophie.

Not with him.

Look,

the wedding is in one week.

Let's just go out with anybody that we match with,

if it doesn't rock, if it doesn't feel good or click, fine.

But at least we can say that we tried, for real.

Fine.

- Fine. - Fine?

Fine.

- Tell this man- - What.

That you're interested.

What?

Yes.

Now I'll find somebody.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I will do the talking.

You, I'll allow you to.

Yes.

Done.

Done.

So Julian.

So Felicity, right?

My name is Felicity.

Hello.

It's nice to finally meet you.

I can look and tell you all about the stars,

I can tell you all about the constellations,

I can tell you about the earth,

I can tell you about the weather.

It's so cloudy outside, did you know that?

So like, how much money do you make?

When was the last time you had sex?

Wait, what?

I apologize for my tardiness,

I actually was on the line with my agent.

It's okay.

I don't like kids.

What's wrong with kids?

What's not wrong with kids?

How many you want?

I mean, I'm trying to have at least like four or five.

Good for you, but

Like some right there.

Did I get it or...

Looks like your nipple's out.

- Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. - I'm sorry, yeah.

Embarrassing.

Pray tell, what's your credit score?

It's good.

So, what do you mean that you eat dogs every Easter?

I still live at home with my mama

and sleep on the couch.

You ain't got no problem with that, huh?

So how early in the morning could I text you?

And you gonna have to come pick me up,

because I ain't got no call either, so.

No.

I think we just need to get the check and leave.

Hey Ty.

Hey.

Hey.

I was just calling to check in,

see how the dates are going?

Really well.

Oh.

I mean, of course, you know,

I told you, if you give it a chance,

then it would do that.

Any serious prospects?

Julian, actually.

The architect?

Yeah, the architect, yeah.

Just decided why not?

I mean, did you get a second date?

A third.

Oh,

oh, oh, a third.

Yeah, he invited me over.

No, no, hmm mm, I don't need to hear any details.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

No.

No, I'm not having much luck.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

I don't know what it is about me.

You just gotta be authentic.

Yeah, well, you are the only one

that I feel authentic around.

I have a crazy idea.

Shoot.

Go on a date with me.

Practice.

Practice date?

Yeah.

Maybe you need to practice being authentic

in that environment, like you said, you authentic with me.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah, it sounds like fun.

Tomorrow night?

Hmm mm, I'll have my people call your people.

Your people, my, okay, Steve Jobs.

No, not Steve, just me.

It's a date.

Bye.

Bye.

Hmm mm.

"Hmm mm."

Shut up.

Man, are you done, Doctor Love?

Don't start.

Come on, man.

I'm over here trying to work

and you over here planning a date.

What up, bro?

The investors pulled out.

What?

Yeah, man, I just got off the call.

No, no, no, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait, what happened?

I don't know, man, said something about

the vibes wasn't right, they wasn't feeling you.

This is supposed to be the one thing

that vibes don't matter.

Come on, bro, me and you both know this,

but you know everything is based off vibes.

All right.

All right.

So, what's the plan?

I think our best option might be to consolidate,

count our losses, and move on.

Listen bro, time is almost up.

So, whatever you have going on with Langston,

I need you to do what you have to do

to make sure this deal pans out.

I need you to get him to invest.

You do what you do,

and I'm gonna do what I gotta do on my end.

But really bro, the next idea you have,

I need you to put your heart into it.

I can't keep backing you if you can't

even back up your own self or what you believe in.

It's a waste of my time, and yours.

I am gonna head out though, man.

Gonna holler at you.

Wait, wait, wait, I don't get these flat earthers.

- So he said that- - I don't know.

He said the earth is flat because of gravity,

that's not how gravity works.

Exactly, I know that.

I know that.

That's not the way it works.

So, that's your type?

- No. - Oh yeah,

- that's gets you going. - No, not anymore.

You like them him stupid.

You like them him stupid.

No, don't even try me.

One and done.

So, how does it feel?

Am I being authentic enough?

I mean, if you got to ask.

You're right, I see it on your face.

My bad.

I don't what it is, I'm just...

Hmm?

I'm just feeling anxious, man, ugh.

I think I need to drink this, man, I...

Tyler?

Yeah?

Do you remember when my grandfather passed?

Yeah.

- Yeah. - I remember.

I mean, I almost quit last semester, it was

I mean, a lot was going on.

Yeah.

Who would've blamed you?

And we were living together, come on, I know I could be.

No, no, no, I am glad you were there.

Yeah?

He was all the family I had.

You know, it was just me and him.

Then it was just you.

I just never got to thank you for that.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

That's nothing you would ever have to thank me for.

Do you remember when I crashed out?

That was embarrassing.

Yeah.

You held me, and didn't say a word.

I mean, what could I say?

We had to be like that until in the morning, like...

No, it was,

it was more like till the afternoon.

Yeah, I remember because I missed my final,

and pops was pissed,

but it was nothing.

It was...

Tyler something changed for me that night,

and I just, I want.

And here we are.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Hey, you know, if too you cold,

I have a extra coat in the car.

I'm good.

So, you think I'm finally ready for Jasmine type?

Oh wait, the date's not over yet,

so I can't give you a full assessment yet.

What you mean it's not over?

We talked, we had food, it feels like a date to me.

Well, it depends on what kind of impression

you trying to leave.

Honestly that's where I kind of struggle sometimes,

that lasting impression part.

Well, that's why we're practicing.

So, how would you end the date?

Well, I'd walk her to her car.

Okay.

And I'd tell her that I had a really,

really nice time.

And then?

And then if vibes is right,

energy and all that,

I go for the kiss.

How would you know if it felt right?

Felt right.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Let me see something.

So, when's your next date with Julian?

Sometime next week, I think.

Ah, things are getting serious?

Yeah, you can say that.

Well...

But...

That's crazy.

What?

What's wrong?

I just matched with Jasmine.

Jasmine?

Jasmine, Jasmine.

Yeah, Jasmine, yeah.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You said you was gonna get me a Jasmine type?

Yeah.

You got me Jasmine.

Whoa, we pulled it off.

You pulled Julian, I pulled Jasmine.

We about to get this money, girl.

- Right? - Yeah.

That's good, we did it.

I got to tell Colin, I got to.

Damn.

We should double.

What, what's a double?

Like, a double date.

Well, not a real double date,

more like a secret double date.

- You with Julian- - Yeah.

Me with Jasmine.

That's a good idea.

I mean, because I need you there.

I mean, just getting back to myself,

and I know if you were there and I could look at you,

whenever I feel off track,

I'd get right back on.

You okay?

Yeah.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Yeah?

I'm good.

You still like Julian, right?

What?

Of course.

So we doing it?

We doing it.

- Yeah. - That's my girl.

Are you sure you wanna do this?

What other choice do we have?

The wedding's in two days.

You already have Julian, this might be my last shot.

Oh, there he is.

Oh, he's tall.

Put your game face on, bro.

We need this, all right?

- Hi. - You look amazing.

Thank you,

so do you.

Sit down, shall we?

So, who was that you were talking to outside?

Nobody, it's just somebody from college.

Someone you dated?

No, it's just a friend.

He's all by himself,

you should invite him over.

No, he grown, he good.

Okay, go ahead, ask me a question.

- The moon landing. - Mm.

Real effect.

Conspiracy theories.

Hi Tyler.

It's so great seeing you again, Jasmine.

It's good to see you as well.

When we matched, I was surprised,

because I didn't know you still lived here.

I was away for some time,

spent some time in Miami.

Oh, Miami.

In Paris.

Oh, Paris?

Oui, oui.

How was it?

- Overrated. - Oh.

I was there with someone, but not anymore.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.

I mean, the whole affair was so cliche.

He thought me being in Paris

meant I was just gonna marry him,

like, that hasn't been overdone.

It's so overdone, right?

Yes, in Paris.

I would never propose in Paris, that's so cliche.

"I would never propose in Paris, so cliche."

Excuse me?

Polaris is my favorite star.

That's actually one of the good ones.

Wow.

Oh, did you know that some people believe

that Stanley Kubrick had a hand

in staging the moon landing, crazy right?

- Really? - Yeah.

Good old Stanley Kubrick, huh?

It's the Apollo 13, absolutely.

But as for me, I'm a believer.

But that's neither here nor there.

Let's talk about something else.

You, anything you wanna talk about?

No, this is what we should be talking about.

- Really? - Yeah.

I ordered wine, if you don't mind.

What if I wanted to order my own wine?

You can, I just noticed,

I checked your list of favorites,

and this was your favorite,

but they didn't carry this, so I got a special order.

How thoughtful.

"How thoughtful."

Excuse me for saying this, but are you okay?

I'm just fine.

- Really? - Hmm mm.

I mean, because you seem a little out of it, just.

This is the best night of my life.

That's great to hear.

Cheers.

So, I did some digging of my own,

and I found out that you were the of the Rings app.

Oh, you got me.

Yes, I am.

It was a labor of love.

To avoid the gamification of love.

Oh, you know the slogan?

Oh.

This night is a game, it's all a game.

Who is that?

I don't know, some drunk lady making a scene.

What are you looking at?

Just the love of my life

with the love of his imagination.

Yeah, this is why I don't do dating apps.

I'll be right back.

Why do you want to give me your drink?

Sophie, wait.

Sophie,

I thought I recognized you.

In the flesh.

Sophie, I think it might be best

if we go back to our seat.

Yes, Sophie, surprised to see you here.

You are being very rude.

You two used to go together.

We did not.

Yes, you did, back in the day.

Are y'all still together?

Is this some weird swinger stuff?

Sophie, I'm gonna go ahead and get the check head out.

This is...

This was nice.

We were never together.

That's not what Sophie said.

Wait, what are you talking about?

Sophie, what's she talking about?

Sophie said back in school that you two were together

and she was very clear that I had to leave you alone.

That doesn't make sense.

She was your biggest cock block.

No, Sophie got me with a lot of women.

She told me, "No."

Sophie?

Sophie, is this true?

Tyler, let me explain.

Explain.

You were so in love with her,

but you don't even know her.

She was in a clique, a small clique,

and they were just looking for guys

who they thought was gonna be successful to set them up.

This was all just a game.

A game.

What, what, what, what, what game?

It was a ranking system at our sorority house

and it was called the Sugar List.

And you was on it under a potential for biggest earner,

and I tried to keep you away from all of that.

These were just childish games.

Tyler is not a game.

Tyler, I don't know what's going on with her,

but if you wanna get away.

She was gone in Paris, right?

You wanna know why she was there?

Because I do, she was there to clean a man out.

Yeah, she just tried to clean a man out

and she's here to clean you out.

You wasted a lot of time with this woman, okay?

Oh.

Are you coming?

- Sophie... - Hmm?

Why didn't you just tell me?

Because I was protecting you from her.

Apparently someone should have

been protecting me from you.

I was young.

We were young.

You lied to me.

You lied to me and then you left.

Why did you think I left?

Because I couldn't be your wing man anymore.

I loved you.

Y'all are a mess.

A mess.

Tyler...

Sophie...

You were one person that.

I thought would never play games with me.

Tyler...

Wait.

No, no.

Nah, I'm out.

- Tyler, wait. - No, I'm out.

No, no.

Tyler, wait.

Hey bro, check this.

You good?

You remember the Sugar List?

The Sugar List?

Man, yeah, I remember the Sugar List.

Crazy thing, man.

I wasn't on it though.

They say you shouldn't date your friends.

Who says that, single people?

She was more than just a friend to me, man.

She was family,

and I wanted to protect that,

then she left.

And you were afraid to tell her how you really felt

then started chasing this fake ass power couple fantasy.

Listen bro,

me and my girl may not look like a power couple,

but we are,

and so do you and Sophie,

and it's been like that since the beginning.

I lost everything on this stupid bet.

And she bet everything on you.

My man, Colin, corny as ever.

So, do you love her?

So, basically we're consolidating,

the algorithm's been patented,

and some rich Silicon Valley kid believes

he can flip it, add his vibe, his...

Whatever.

I'm sorry it went that way.

I'm sorry I failed at the bet.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Things always have a way of working themselves out.

Forgive me if I'm not the most optimistic.

Thanks for meeting with me.

Of course, we family.

Hope I'm not interrupting anything,

but I do have one more meeting lined up for us,

and you're gonna be late.

All right.

Thanks again, Langston.

You should dress up for this one.

Nostalgia.

What are we doing here?

Making better choices.

Sophie...

I'm tired of fighting

about who's right and who's wrong,

who did or didn't do.

Whatever.

I don't care about any of that, I...

The only thing I care about is you.

You're my everything.

You're...

You're my safe space.

The only time I feel...

Like me,

like myself,

is when I'm with you

and that scares me,

that scares the hell out of me, and...

Well, the only thing that scares me more

is spending another moment without you.

And I love you.

I love you.

And I just hope,

God, I hope,

that I'm not too late.

Tyler, I'm sorry...

I'm sorry that I didn't trust you and tell you the truth.

I just, I'm just realizing that

I couldn't be honest with you

because I wasn't honest with myself.

I never meant to hurt you,

I just couldn't take it.

I've always loved you,

that's why I've settled all these years.

You were the only one I wanted.

♪ All that you have waited for

♪ Don't waste another minute more ♪

♪ Take me in

I always had faith you two would figure it out.

We'll be seeing you.

Oh, dear, let them have their moment.

You're right.

See you at the wedding.

- Bye, see you at the wedding. - Thanks family.
