Well, well, well.

Don't you want a bite or something to drink first?

I've had plenty of bites and drinks

but I haven't had my man for two months

and I refuse to wait one moment longer.

How did it all go?

Sold some, bought more.

ELEKTRA: Mm.

[KISSING]

Are you tucking?

My tucking days are over, sweetheart.

Come on.

When was the last time

you got the chance to take a ride

in a brand-new pussy?

One thing.

I ask you for one thing. For that,

I was willing to give you everything you ever dreamed of.

This is the only thing I've ever really dreamed of.

To be a complete woman.

Well, then I guess we're done here.

Do you love me

or was this all just about the sex?

I don't come here... for that.

I can get that anywhere.

I'm in control here.

What I want.

What I like.

The price you would pay for not giving it to me.

I was abundantly clear the very first night

that we met at that bar.

You ruined it.

I'm not ruined.

I'm reborn.

A complete woman.

This is an act of selfishness and stupidity.

So what happens now?

You throw me out onto the street corners

like a Hefty bag filled with

last night's takeout containers?

I thought our love was stronger than that.

I thought it would take more to make you hate me.

I hate you...

[EXHALES] because I love you.

Because you are the best thing in my life.

This place,

with you,

was my cocoon.

And you took it away from me.

Because you refuse to even try.

You knew the rules,

and you broke them.

You lost it all.

I give you two weeks before you cool off and realize

that the best of me still remains

Yes, Mother.

Just... just listen...

Do you know why I allowed Ricky to join this house?

Because you saw his potential?

Because you vouched for him.

And I trust you.

Lies are a form of disrespect.

In this house, I expect all of you to tell the truth.

Is Papi on drugs?

What? No. [CHUCKLES]

But he's selling 'em, right?

No.

If I find out you're lying to me...

He isn't doing drugs.

I would've told you if he was.

All right, tell Ricky to come here.

What happened?

She wants to talk to you.

[SIGHS]

[WHISPERING]: Listen to me.

Not a word.

Sit down.

Ricky, have you enjoyed living in my house?

Of course I have.

When we met, you had nowhere to go.

I took you in and gave you shelter and food,

'cause I couldn't stand thinking of you being on the streets.

I know I'm not perfect, but I'm trying

real hard to be a good mother to all y'all.

And you have been.

This is the first place I ever been that feels like a home.

And we have to keep it safe.

So I'm-a only ask you one time.

Is Papi doing drugs?

No.

He isn't doing drugs.

You know,

We know how to hustle. [SIGHS]

So are my kids.

We've been in a bubble

this whole time we've been together.

And I thought the secrecy

was the thing holding us back,

but maybe it was what was keeping us together.

I don't fit in anywhere.

[HORN HONKS, DISTANT CHATTER]

You thought living on the fringes of society

was gonna be some kind of picnic and roses?

I just thought it would be easier than being a fraud.

That's 'cause you're a white boy from the suburbs.

I just wanted a taste of what you have.

One moment

of being true

in my whole goddamn life.

[SIREN WAILING]

But I can't.

I do love you.

Hi.

How you been?

Look, I know you're pissed.

Kicking you out was harsh, and...

it's been tearing me up,

but I did it for the good of the house.

I was real messed up about it.

I'm sorry, and I want to make it up to you.

I want you to come back home, but you got to promise me

you're not gonna sell drugs no more.

You know I got arrested the other day?

I was lucky I didn't have nothing on me.

All I could think about was your voice in my head

saying, "Don't make me your one phone call."

I'm not dealing drugs no more.

Papi, that's great.

We'll have a celebratory dinner to welcome you back.

Tomorrow night.

I'll have Damon and Ricky collect your stuff.

I don't need to come back home.

I got new mothers now.

What? Who?

Us.

You joined The House of Abundance?

CANDY: Abundance?

Girl, please.

That name is as old as Elektra's lace fronts.

We are The House of Ferocity.

[LAUGHS] You're joking me, right?

LULU: Oh, we're pretty damn serious.

Even got a cute walkup in Harlem.

And unlike you,

we won't throw our children away on the streets like trash.

CANDY: But we will have them run errands.

Go inside and fetch me a beverage?

I need to hydrate before I read this bitch.

You're just using him to get back at me.

CANDY: Oh, we're using him

to grab our takeout, to iron our clothes,

to massage our tired feet.

And he's happy to do it.

And he snags trophies.

Bitch, and I thought we was cool.

I don't owe you anything.

I told you:

you are not the only one with dreams.

If it's the last thing I do,

I will get him back as an Evangelista.

CANDY: Get ready to work your fingers to the bone, bitch.

Let's go before we get fleas.
