Original subtitles

[Naomi] You can't drive by the front of the house

because he has cameras, so you gotta park over there.

-I'm gonna drop the charges. -Thank you.

Can we talk?

Sure, yeah, you just caught me between classes.

-Are you fucking my husband? -What?

Can you tell us where you are? We're waiting for you.

[Naomi] On a plane.

You're making this worse, Naomi.

-Your bail got revoked, Naomi. -[Naomi] Really?

-What's wrong? -I just hate that I screwed up.

You're gonna have to let this go.

If you're attracted to him, he forgot about it,

leave it alone.

-[Denise] I'm sorry? -Oh, God.

What did you say?

Huh? What you talking about?

You just said that he was attracted to somebody.

Girl, I was... No.

I was talking about somebody else.

No, I heard what you said.

And you said he was attracted to who again?

No, Sister Denise, listen.

I was mistaken for somebody else.

No, you weren't. Don't be lying in this church.

Myron, what is she talking about?

[tense music]

Wow.

Denise, what do you want?

So you about to lie to me, too?

And in His church?

Myron, I need to talk to you in private.

How about y'all stay?

I'll, I'll give y'all some privacy.

I gotta go somewhere.

Do you want to tell me what she's talking about?

Myron, what was she talking about?

-Tell me! -Baby, calm down, okay?

I'm not calming down. I'm not calming down.

Tell me what she was talking about.

[Jefferson] Babe, look, I think it's a good idea.

All right, babe. I'll go to this dinner,

but I'm just letting you know.

Let me know what?

She's got a lot to unpack.

Okay, all right. Well, we can help him.

All right. Just remember what we said.

-About what? -About keeping our pact

about not talking about the people we counsel.

All right, all right. I get it, okay? I get it.

Mm-hmm.

So you saying that Geneva's about to wreck me at this table?

All I'm saying is I think we need to pray

-before we go in there. -[laughs]

Lord have mercy.

[phone ringing] Help us.

-Hello? -Girl, I messed up.

[Rasheda] What did you do?

Okay, so, you know, Myron was coming out of your office,

and he was crying, right?

Crying about what?

[Bridgette] Crying over Pastor Jeff and everything.

So he came out of your office, crying,

and so I was asking him, I was like,

"Myron, what's wrong? What happened?"

Bridgette, why would you say that?

[Bridgette] That ain't half the part, okay?

His wife came down the stairs and overheard everything.

Okay, um, you know what?

-I can't with you right now. -I'm so sorry.

[Rasheda] All right, I'm getting off the phone.

No, no, no, wait, wait, wait. Tell me, what do I do?

I don't know, but I'm about to get off this phone.

-Bye. -Rashed--

[light dramatic music]

What was that about?

[Rasheda] [scoffs]

Do you really want to know?

-Do I? -Nope.

Who was crying?

All I want to do is go home, get dressed,

and go to dinner with my husband.

And a couple on the brink.

And we're going to have a good night afterwards.

All right?

But you ain't sleeping. Who was crying?

Nope. I'm not telling you.

[knocking on door]

Hi, Grayson.

Mom, what are you doing here?

I wanted to come visit you.

Did something happen today?

Why would you think that?

Why are you here, Mom?

Okay, look, Grayson, I feel really bad

about the last time that we were together.

It's okay.

Okay.

So, where's your girlfriend?

Why?

I want to see if you wanted

to go out to get dinner or something, all of us.

Why would you want to do that?

Grayson, look, I'm really trying.

I flew all the way here just to be with you.

I just want to know why you did that.

Did your father make you that paranoid?

No, he hasn't.

Okay, good.

But you've made me that way.

How did I do that?

Mom, let's not pretend. Come on.

Are you kidding?

What is it? Okay, I have another class to get to.

Grayson, it is after 3:00 p.m.

I'm not in high school anymore.

You're right.

You're not. You are grown.

Yeah.

Okay, so let's skip that.

Why don't we go and get you your favorite treat?

What?

Mom, what is my favorite treat?

Uh, stop playing, boy. It is caramel ice cream.

When I was five.

Okay, so you can still have it.

I'm allergic to dairy.

Hey, do you remember when we found that out?

-Grayson? -[Grayson] No, you don't.

Because you were drunk most of the time.

-No, I was not. -[Grayson] Yeah, you were.

Or you and dad were fighting. One of the two.

Grayson, why are you doing this to me?

You're the one who just showed up here.

Hey, but you can just go home.

Mm-hmm. I was right.

Your father did this. He's turning you against me.

Yeah, if that's what you want to think.

I know.

That's exactly what's going on, Grayson.

You know what else?

You're going to believe whatever it is you want to believe.

So do that. I'm going to class.

Grayson, listen.

I'm staying at the Wallace and you and your girlfriend

can come over whenever you want.

I will be there for the night.

I'm not bringing her around you again

so you can do what you did to Lindsay?

No, thanks.

-Grayson-- -You may as well go home.

Grayson, please just give me a chance, Grayson.

[light dramatic music]

Oh, shit.

How much time we got?

Uh, let's see.

Mm, looks like traffic's not too bad,

so we got a little bit of time.

Okay, cool.

-I'm going to hop in the shower. -Here, let me unzip you.

Okay.

What are you doing?

What's it look like?

Babe.

Come on. I've been missing you.

Come on, come on.

We can just go in our clothes right now.

-Right now. -We don't have time.

Yes, we do have time. And guess what?

I don't need a lot of time.

That's never been a good thing.

Baby, you my good thing. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on, come on.

Get ready, come on!

-Stop, stop! We don't have time. -Come on, come on! [laughs]

Sorry, we're closed.

Oh, hi, William.

-Hi, I'm sorry that I'm late. -Uh, it's okay.

I was just closing up around here.

Yeah, I, um, I saw that you called.

Yeah, I did.

I'm here for the box.

Your wife took it.

My wife took the box?

Yeah.

But she left me a message,

telling me to come and get the box.

No, no, I texted you to tell you that she took it.

Uh.

I'm sorry. I, I didn't read it.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm fine.

I... I just want to ask, how did she know about that?

Uh, I gave it to her because she accused us of sleeping together.

Really?

You don't seem surprised.

I'm sorry about all of that.

-It's fine. -Yeah, but thank you.

I should probably tell you what I told her.

Oh, God, I don't even know if I want to know.

[Yara laughs]

I told her that she was a very foolish and insecure woman

and that you loved her very much

and she shouldn't think that way about you.

Thank you.

You're not okay.

I will be.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with all this.

Me too.

I know there's not much I can do,

but if you want a nice yoga session free of charge,

maybe that can help.

I'll think about it. Thank you.

You're a good man, William.

You have a lot of kindness in your eyes.

Don't let what you're going through right now change that.

Oh, God.

I don't know if that's possible after all of this.

It is.

You just got to work hard at it.

Thank you, Yara.

Oh, I heard Anika wasn't well.

-Is she feeling better? -Uh, how did you hear?

Uh, your wife just said she kept her out of school.

Yeah, no, she's, she's fine.

Good.

Well, I guess I'll see you in the drop-off line.

I'll see you in the drop-off line.

You take care of yourself, William.

You too. All right, good night.

Bye.

[William sighs]

[Laz] Shut up, Kelli!

Why are you even talking to me, you fool?

Exactly.

You're so stupid.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. What's going on?

I'm tired of her lying on me.

-You lied on me! -You are having sex!

I am not!

Get out of here with that.

And you're doing drugs.

Okay, okay, stop it.

-I'm sick of him! -I said stop it! Kelli?

Listen, y'all know we got rules in this house,

and one of them is not talking to each other like this, okay?

I'm tired of people not believing me.

We got the results back.

And?

You were right, Son. It was only smoking weed.

See? I told you.

Uh-uh, that ain't nothing to rejoice about.

Don't let it happen again.

I told Dad I won't.

Okay. He's doing more than just smoking pot.

And you're doing more than one guy.

Enough.

Kelli, why are you saying he's doing more

than just smoking weed?

Because Monty told Ninja

that she saw Laz doing other drugs.

And Brittney saw him too.

-Brittney? -[Kelli] Yeah.

That old tramp told me you were with Max.

Shut up. She didn't say that.

Yes, she did. I have proof.

-Yeah. Show me. -Look. Look.

She said that?

Enough. [chuckles]

Look.

Uh, I see what's going on here.

Mm-hmm. Yep. I do too.

-They don't even see it, though. -No, they don't.

Dad, stop with all the parables.

What are you talking about? Excuse me.

Dad, just say what you want to say.

Listen, if rumors are going to make y'all act that way,

it means you're friends with the wrong people.

-Mm-hmm. -[Kelli] Okay.

He was still smoking pot. You got the results.

-We did. -Mm.

But your brother's not doing that anymore.

-Really? How do you know that? -[Jefferson] Yes.

Well, Kelli, um, your brother almost died this morning.

What?

Yeah. That weed was laced with fentanyl.

And your mother had to revive him by using Narcan.

Okay.

Wait.

Wait, that can't be.

Yes, it's, it's true.

It's a miracle that he's still here.

[Jefferson] Mm-hmm.

Laz.

You almost died?

That'll change your tone, huh?

I, I didn't know.

Yeah, well, you all have a lot to talk about

in terms of where you're getting your information from.

Mm-hmm, or misinformation.

That part.

All right, y'all, we got to go. We'll be back, okay?

-All right. Behave. -[Jefferson] All right.

-Bye. -Hey, y'all, we love you, okay?

[pensive music]

Hey.

You almost died?

-Hi. I got your text. -Hey.

-Did you see my mom? -Yeah.

I saw her in the hall, and then I went the other way to class.

I don't know what she's doing here.

What would she want?

I don't know.

But, hey, she invited us out for dinner.

I didn't think she wanted to go out with the white devil bitch.

Hey, I'm sorry she called you that.

[peppy music]

-You know what? -[Grayson] Mm.

Maybe we should go.

Are you kidding me?

Well, we should see what she wants.

I can't take that chance.

Call her and tell her we'll come.

No, let's just wait. Let's wait.

[Francis] Why?

-Let me talk to my dad first. -[Francis] Okay.

But I am curious.

She came all this way.

I am, too.

She's up to something.

[Francis] Yeah.

-[Naomi] Hey. How are you? -Yeah.

-I'm good. -Okay, that's good.

[Hakeem] You sure this is cool?

Yes. The app I'm calling you from is impossible to trace.

We're good.

All right.

[Naomi] Okay, so what's going on?

-The alarm was on. -Oh, shit.

[Hakeem] Yeah, I know, so I'm just out, you know.

Okay. No, it's okay. He'll be there.

All right. I have a line of sight to the front door.

[Naomi] Hakeem, where are you?

I'm in the shed.

Don't leave no DNA in there.

You think I'm stupid?

Just be careful.

[Hakeem] Yeah, look, I'm good.

Okay.

Look, when he come through the front door,

I'm gonna come through the back at the same time

that the alarm goes off.

Okay, looks like you got this kind of under control.

Come on, now. I told you that.

You just make sure you got my money, you hear me?

I keep telling you that I will.

Call me as soon as it's done.

[Hakeem] I got you.

-Oh. -[Hakeem] What?

Uh, my son is calling me.

Your son?

[Naomi] I'll talk to you later, okay?

Wait. You gonna talk to your son

after what I'm about to do to his father?

And?

Damn, you cold-blooded.

Bye.

Hey, Son.

What time did you want to go to dinner?

Oh, Grayson, I'm so glad you decided to come.

Yeah. What time?

Uh, now.

[Grayson] Okay.

Where do you want to go?

You tell me.

[Naomi] Oh, this is your town. You tell me.

I'll text you a place.

Uh, okay. Is it a busy place?

[Hakeem] No, it's quiet.

Uh, Grayson, I...

I want to go to somewhere busy, you know,

so I can see what it's like out here for you.

Why would you want to do that?

Grayson, give your mom a break.

Fine. I'll text you a place to meet.

Okay, uh, great.

Is your girlfriend coming?

Yes.

All right, well, let me know as soon as you decide a place,

and I'll head on out after, okay?

-[Grayson] Okay. -Okay.

Ugh. Francis, ugh.

I would love another one. And make it a double.

Can I do a double? Thank you.

Mm. Ah.

Are you gonna pull the chair out for your wife?

I don't pull out chairs for liars.

[scoffs lightly]

-How many of those have you had? -Not enough.

Yeah, well, I don't plan to be here long.

Gonna relieve Sarah.

[laughs] Oh, you're funny.

When have you ever tried to relieve Sarah?

Don't, don't do this, okay?

Don't what? Thank you. Thank you very much.

Where's my box?

-What box? -My box.

The one that you took from Yara, where is it at?

You happy now?

Hmm?

She told you wasn't nothing going on,

and you saw what I was doing.

Don't look away now.

Don't do that. You know something?

You are foul.

Like, you are really foul.

How you would go and make that woman think

that I'm the type of man who would cheat

when it's you, right?

It's you the one doing all the damn cheating.

I am not cheating.

[laughs] But you did.

Don't do that.

I just want the truth. Hmm? [phone rings]

Hey, are y'all close?

-[Rasheda] Walking in now. -Okay.

Hey.

Hey, guys.

[Jefferson] Sorry we're late.

[Rasheda] You can blame this one.

-Mm-hmm. -[all chuckling lightly]

Wow, I can feel the tension at this table already.

Well, you guys seem happy.

-We are. Yeah. -Yeah. We are.

You guys don't?

Because we're not.

I'm sorry.

Why you sorry?

Well, because I want us all to be happy, so...

-Yeah. You want me to be happy? -[Rasheda] Yeah. Of course.

You know what would make me happy?

Like, really, really happy?

If you would tell me

who this one had sex with...

and got pregnant.

Okay, so we're just gonna just jump right in the deep end, huh?

Yeah, man! What we waiting on?

I thought we would order dinner first, man.

Mm-mm. Mm-mm. No, man. I ain't with all the small talk.

I really, I'm not hungry. I just want some answers.

Well, we're here to support you both, that's all.

Well, I appreciate it.

William, how many of those have you had?

-Hmm? -How many of those you had, man?

That's the same thing I asked him.

Jeff, come on, bro.

-Look, I'm not judging you-- -Hey, I feel a little judge-y.

"William, how many have you had?"

That's a little judge-y, homie.

William, William, William. It's not. It's not.

We're here to have a conversation.

-[William] Okay. -And I thought

maybe it should be polite and coherent.

-That's all. Okay? Okay? -All right. Okay.

And not in a busy restaurant, guys.

Yeah, well, y'all, that's, that's my bad.

I didn't know it was gonna be like this.

[Rasheda] Yeah.

Man, I told you that my daughter is not my daughter.

But you didn't say you were sure.

Oh, but I'm sure.

Look, man, you're also a very reasonable man.

Now, see, there it is. That, right, that's the problem.

People look at me,

and they think that I'm a reasonable man, right?

So then they treat me like a pushover.

They treat me like a punk.

I can relate to that, okay?

Literally, you and I are the same in this way.

There's so much that we take, and then that person

that we pray against on the inside shows up.

-Mm-hmm. Hm. You feel me? -[Jefferson] So I feel you.

-[Jefferson] Yeah. -[William] Okay.

I want to know, what would you do?

What would I do if what?

What would you do if you found out Laz wasn't yours?

I can see how difficult this is.

[William] Mm-hmm.

Let's just think about it like this, Jeff.

-I ain't got no other kids. -[Jefferson] Mm-hmm.

I waited until I got married,

and then we go through all this hell with the IVF,

take out loans, which I'm still paying for,

and every night, this one right here,

she crying on my shoulders about wanting to have a kid.

-I get it. I do. -No, you don't. No, you don't.

[William] You don't get this--

Well, we're right here with you, William.

[William] Yeah.

See, every time she had a miscarriage,

like all of them, it just...

Man, it felt like a bomb would just go off,

you know?

But we kept trying, and then we kept praying,

and we kept praying, and we kept trying.

We were trying, crying, and praying right along with you.

I remember. But do you remember what you said to me?

No.

You looked me right in my eyes,

and you said, "William, God will do it."

-And He did. -Yeah, He did.

-Amen? -[Rasheda] Amen.

Amen.

Hm. He just didn't do it for me.

Anika is your daughter.

Mm, but see, she's not my biological daughter.

No matter how much I love that little girl,

no matter how much I want that little girl to be mine,

she's not.

See, when Geneva got pregnant,

we must've thanked God every single night.

And then when she would go to sleep,

like after the first, you know, trimester, I would, uh...

[chuckles] She don't even know this.

-I would pray over her belly. -[Jefferson] Mm.

Yeah. Wow.

-Yeah. Wow. -[Jefferson] Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And I promised God something.

I said, "God, if You let this woman have this baby,

I will be the best father."

Mm?

William, you are.

Ain't nobody talking to you!

I also told God that I would be the best husband.

And I done the best I could.

-Geneva? -Mm?

Is there something you want to tell William?

[whispers] People are staring at us, guys.

I think we should end this.

-No. No. -[Jefferson] William.

-I don't want to end it. -William, William!

I think I need some answers.

-[Jefferson] William! William! -That's what I-- What?

Calm down.

-We are in public. -Let go of me.

What I was gonna say, how about we end this here?

-[Jefferson] Yes. -And then go to the church?

Yes, let's go to the church and let's finish this conversation.

I ain't going to no church.

What I need to say, it don't belong in church.

Okay? All right, fine. Let's go to our house.

Yes. Let's go to our house. Okay?

[Rasheda] Yes, that works. Why don't we do that?

I don't know about all this.

No, come on, it's okay. No, it'll work.

[sighs aggressively]

I'll go with Geneva, because you had a few,

and Rasheda will drive you in our car.

-All right? Okay. -Sounds good to me.

Waiter. Excuse me. Can I have the check, please? Thank you.

[Javon] Hey.

-Hey. -Hey.

Hey, guys.

Didn't know you were here.

I did.

I wanted to surprise you.

Yeah, I don't think Geneva wants this.

Oh, come on now. Y'all two need to work this out.

We were actually all just leaving.

-Oh, no. -Wait. Why?

I'll, I'll explain it to you later, Tiff.

-What's going on? -Later, Tiff.

We'll see you around.

You sure you don't want to stay?

Okay.

-Let's go. Okay. -Okay. All right. Let's go.

-We out? -Yep. We out.

We out.

-[William] Yep. Yep. -[Jefferson] Come on, William.

Come on, man.

-[Rasheda] I'm gonna stay. -Yeah, be here. Be here.

Come on, man.

Rasheda.

-This is bad. -You've got to tell him.

I know. Okay.

When we get to the house, you've got to tell him.

Or I'm gonna tell him.

Rasheda. Come on.

You said you'd never betray me. You said you'd never tell.

This is not gonna end well.

-I know. -I'm done.

-Okay. Okay. -I'm done with this foolishness.

-Okay. Okay. -[Rasheda] We need to go.

What's going on?

Uh, we are not gonna let them ruin our night.

It's a little too late for that.

Mm, no? Thank you.

No, it is not.

First of all, you look as beautiful as you normally do.

And I figured when we were done here,

maybe we could go dancing.

-Dancing? -Dancing.

[chuckles]

I haven't been dancing in a long time.

See? I was hoping you would say that.

-I used to love dancing. -Me too.

Then we're going.

Wait, did William tell you I like dancing?

-Absolutely not. Hand to God. -[Tiffany] Okay, but...

What type of music do you like?

Pssht. '90s R&B.

No way.

-Okay. See? -No, someone, someone--

Why are you always trying to copy me?

-Someone definitely told you. -All right.

Well, it looks like we're going dancing then.

-How about that? -[chuckles]

Okay, well, here's to having a great night.

And leaving all the foolishness behind.

Yes. Please.

Uh, excuse me, ma'am.

I think we will go with the, uh, "Mer-lott".

-Is it "Mer-lott"? -I think it's "Mer-lott".

"Mer-lott." The "Mer-lott." Thank you.

[tender music]

[hip-hop music playing]

I don't see her.

Look.

[Grayson] Mom?

Oh, my God, everybody! That's my son.

[Crowd] Hi, Son!

Come on, let's go! Ooh, ooh-ha! Plug it up.

Woo! Keep going, keep going, keep going. [mumbling]

Mom.

Come on. Hurry up.

Okay. One. That way. And two.

Yo! [laughs blissfully]

-Hi. -Hello.

Okay. Oh, my God, guys, I got us a booth. Come on!

Come on. Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, we gotta get...

-Stay close to me. -[Francis] Yeah.

I know you know who it is.

I know you've had a lot to drink.

Come on, Rasheda. She tell you everything.

-Not everything. -Mm-hmm.

But let's just say she told you who it was, hypothetically.

-Mm-hmm? -Would you tell me?

-Nope. -I knew it.

But you do know who it is.

I don't share what people tell me in confidence.

[William] Mm-hmm.

Even if it causes this much pain, I mean, look at me.

Unless it is a crime.

This is a crime.

It's not a legal matter, William.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So you don't think

her deceiving me is a legal matter?

-It's a matter of the heart. -Oh, matter of the heart?

Oh. Okay. I hear you, Rasheda.

-Can I give you some advice? -What?

Now, you've been married to Geneva for a long time.

-Mm-hmm. Yes. -You know she's stubborn.

I know this, but where's the advice?

Relax.

You know that if you push, she'll resist.

-She resists. Exactly. -Yeah, I know that.

I think if you...

ask her about her emotions and how she's feeling

and what she's going through,

she's gonna be more open to you.

[sighs deeply] Yeah.

You agree with my advice?

I ain't really in the mood for these games.

-Yes, we're too grown for that. -Right.

I just want the truth.

I know.

Then try another approach.

You're a brilliant professor.

Brilliant.

You'll figure it out.

[Jefferson] You know I love this car.

Yep. Thanks.

[chuckles] I remember when he bought it for you.

He was so happy.

Jeff, I know what you're doing, okay?

What? What are you talking about?

[laughs]

-So stop. -Okay, okay.

Look, I forgot I can't get anything over on you attorneys.

Yeah, that's a fact.

That's a fact, but did you think

you were getting something over on him?

Look, I wasn't trying to, okay?

Yeah. That wouldn't be wise.

You know William's very smart.

Yeah, I know who I married.

So...

you didn't know anything?

I told him that there was a mix-up with the IVF.

-Mm-hmm. -Several times, okay?

Okay, okay. And he doesn't believe you?

No.

Well, you know it's a hard thing to believe?

Well, when I sue the hospital,

you guys will have no choice but to believe me.

Okay.

So you're gonna go all the way to the wall with this one, huh?

Excuse me?

Look, I ain't get in this car with you to badger me, okay?

Geneva, we all know it's not true.

-What is Rasheda saying to you? -Nothing.

She wouldn't dare.

Yeah., well, doesn't seem like that to me.

Look, maybe that's just your conscience talking to you.

Excuse me.

Look, Geneva, I'm not here to upset you, okay?

I'm just asking questions.

Yeah, well, it feels like you're interrogating me, okay?

All right, well, now you know

how it feels when you grill those witnesses on the stand.

I'm not a witness, Jeff.

Okay, all right, all right. Well, you'd be a good one.

And you are a witness for the Lord.

-Don't do that. -What? You are a believer.

-First, you try to flatter me. -Mm.

Then you use the Bible, okay?

You're not really good at this counseling thing.

-So quit. -Okay, okay.

Look, Rasheda's much better than I am, all right?

Exactly. So stay in your lane, okay?

-[Jefferson] All right. -Respectfully.

[Jefferson] You got it.

Okay, but I got one more thing to say.

And then we can just ride in silence, okay?

Geneva, we all make mistakes.

And we all are in need of God's grace.

And sometimes we have to extend

that grace to our fellow man or husband.

All right, I'm done.

You didn't really touch your food.

Yeah, I don't have much of an appetite.

[Javon] Mm.

Still thinking about Geneva?

Yep, I am.

Yeah, I get it.

It can be upsetting.

You know, I'm always so happy for her.

[Javon] I can see that.

Like when she told me she was going to Italy,

I was the first person to say I would watch Anika.

Mm, she didn't seem to appreciate that.

She's just so out of character.

Mm. You know her better than I do.

Ugh, God, I just wish I knew what it was.

Time will tell.

Yeah, it always does.

Meanwhile, I am sitting across from one of the prettiest women

in the whole world.

Meanwhile, that beautiful mind of hers

is clear across the other side of town.

No, no, no, no, no. I...

[sighs] I'm here.

It's okay. It is okay.

It just gives me another chance to see how you deal with things.

Yeah, you're right.

How do you deal with things?

[tender music]

I'd say the hardest thing I had to deal with

was my divorce.

Really?

In my adult life.

-That makes sense. -[Javon] Yeah.

What's wrong?

My ex-husband.

-Excuse me? -Yeah, the bartender.

He works here?

I guess he just started.

Well, that is awkward.

Yeah, we should go.

Or we could give him a show.

What?

[clears throat] Follow my lead.

What are you...

doing?

Laugh.

-What? -Laugh out loud.

-Why? What? -I want him to hear you.

[laughing loudly]

[Javon] Oh, that got his attention.

Uh, say, man.

[whistles] Come here.

Yeah, um, can you grab a waiter for us?

I think it's about time for us to get out of here.

Yeah, sure.

Hi, John. Didn't know you worked here.

-Mm-hmm. Just started. -[Tiffany] Mm.

Oh.

-I'll get you a waiter. -Cool.

He is pissed.

Fuck him.

[both laughing]

Maybe we should get out of here.

[chuckles] Give a little show.

[Javon] Mm-hmm.

[suspensive music]

[beeps]

-[Franklin] Hello. -Dad.

-[Franklin] Hey. What's up? -I've been calling you.

Yeah, uh, Lindsay actually just started turning the corner, man.

So I've been with her.

[Grayson] Oh, that's good. Hey, um, did you see my text?

Your text? [clicks tongue]

Grayson, you know I'm no good with that stuff, man.

[Grayson] Look, Mom is here.

[light dramatic music]

What?

She's here.

[Franklin] What is she doing there?

I don't know, but she invited me out for dinner.

Why would she do that?

She said she wanted to make it up to me.

Grayson. Just stay away. Okay?

She invited Francis, too.

Oh, you're kidding me.

[Grayson] Nope.

That poor child.

I already know that didn't go well.

[Grayson] Yeah, it was a whole show.

[Franklin] I'm sure. Look, Grayson,

I am telling you for your own good.

Stay away.

I get it, but she's clearly here for a reason.

Yeah, I understand that, but, look, we can't be too sure.

So just stay away, okay?

Okay, Dad.

All right, Grayson. I love you.

I love you, too.

All right.

[tense music]

Oh, shit.
