Man: Boy, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

Hey, hey, hey, y'all get out.

Thank you. But leave them spring rolls!

Goodbye.

Yeah.

I don't even know how she found out.

I mean, she could at least send a text or something.

That's just polite.

All my grandmothers were there.

Clerk: So, you want to throw a block party with live music.

Yes! We'd use local vendors,

local artists, and all the acts would be people of color, so...

Well, you'll need a form for each act. How many?

Um, can I get, like, seven?

Actually, eight. You know, 'cause some of the acts are TBD.

But I am on my way to D'in' 'em. ( laughs )

So you gonna go profit or nonprofit?

It's a different form for each.

It is? Uh, well, let me get both.

( scoffs )

Just between us, and I mean this in the nicest way,

stop.

- What? - Events like this,

in our community, they never work.

Or they always end up bein' janky.

Nah, well, that's why I'm doing it, you know?

'Cause we shouldn't have to leave our neighborhood to have something nice.

( speaking Spanish )

( sighs )

I don't know what you just said,

but you know who does? God.

So were you thinking sometime next year?

Actually, I was thinking, like, in a month or two?

That's not gonna be enough time.

No, you're gonna need alcohol, food permits.

Then there's insurance, security, and alcohol.

I say it twice, 'cause people are gonna wanna drink.

Can I just fill these out right here?

No.

Next!

( elevator dings )

Thanks.

This is a lot. Maybe I bit off more than I can chew.

It's a good idea, Iss. It's just a couple of forms.

Or a-- uh, it's a lot of forms.

( laughs )

Yeah, I don't think I can do this by myself.

You know, I just wanted to do something

for my neighborhood, and it's...

Just take it one step at a time, all right?

Oh, by the way, um, can you remind your girl

that Andrew still has her jacket?

Oh, yeah, I'm sure she forgot.

She stays cold. She got low iron.

Her mama do, too. It runs in the family.

You got this, Iss.

The Asian one.

Good, 'cause I been fuckin' the black one.

OK, well, why aren't you excited about him?

Is it 'cause he's Asian?

'Cause no judgment! But judgment.

Uh, I've dated outside my race before,

so what is the point?

The point is, you are single. You are very single.

- Issa: Tell her. - Kelli: You are so single,

a tumbleweed just rolled out your pussy.

OK, everybody calm down.

Listen, I don't have time to catch him up on the culture,

teach him about red beans and rice. There are a lot of Jewish men

who only date Jewish women, and nobody calls them out!

So, why can't I be Orthodox Black?

It's a shame to be all closed-minded and ignorant.

- Wow. - Issa: I'm just sayin', sometimes,

people can surprise you.

Like Nathan! He surprised the shit out of me.

Is Nathan the black one?

Kelli, can you learn a nigga's name for once?

You are not fuckin' my man.

Uh, excuse me? Your "man"?

- Ugh, did I say that? - Yes.

- Out loud. - My bad.

OK, I gue-- I guess I'm happy!

I don't know, he's the first guy I've been into since Lawrence,

and in a real way, not a Daniel way.

- Ooh! - Oh, my God. Issa, that's huge.

Black love.

Yeah, Nathan is pretty great.

And, he's like super supportive of my projects, too.

What projects you doin'?

Should I tell y'all?

Yeah, I'll tell y'all!

So, I'm about to throw a block party.

And I got a lot of work to do.

But I already know where I want it to be,

and I got a business name!

"Musiqal, Inc." But "musical" with a "Q,"

'cause we put together events "quickly."

( both laughing, snorting )

- Molly: Wait, was you--? - You were so confident when you said it!

- Y'all laughing out of support, or--? - Molly: "Quickly."

"Quickly" change the name!

- Kelli: Oh... - Molly: "With a 'Q'"!

- Molly: Oh, you mad? - She mad!

What, hold up. You know that's crooked, right?

Damn, it is.

Yeah, we should get to the shower early tomorrow

to help Tiffany set up and shit.

You right. Kelli, you find anything good

in that Gladys Knight cookbook yet?

What do y'all think of these?

Do these cupcakes say,

"Congratulations on your light-skinned baby"?

Right? 'Cause it's all light. Every layer is light.

But then there are little chocolate bits,

Oh, no. The Crazy Crew just wanted to get here early early.

Of course not, but I still would have let us fake do it together.

OK, I agree, these bitches whack as fuck.
