Yes,�it�is.

Oh, so you saying I shouldn't mess with Lynae no more?

I think you like her, but I also think

you're using her to take your mind off of Jemma.

No.

I'm just trying to, you know, get out the friend zone.

Well, you do that by falling back.

Right.�Question.

Out of me or Jake, who you picking?

But she gave you the reason to wanna do it.

Man, I don't know what you talking about right now.

Now, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

You just don't wanna admit it.

- Bye, Papa. - A'ight.

Smooth�jazz�music

Hey.

You want some of this coffee?

- Yeah. - I'm making grits, too.

- Oh, shit. - You want some?

Why you cookin' breakfast with no shirt on?

Nigga�was�hungry.

But you usually ask me to cook when you get hungry.

You�wasn't�here.

I got that, uh, extra butter on the bread.

Cooked the eggs in bacon grease.

Figured you needed a little hangover breakfast.

No,�no,�no,�no,�no,�no.

Take�a�hot�shower�first.

Let�that�steam,�uh,

And help you keep your food down.

So,�you�not�mad?

Look, you can get new dick from anywhere.

But I'm the only one who knows how to make your eggs

just�how�you�like�'em.

And I know to let the butter get soft

before I spread it on the bread.

I also know you like your coffee

the�same�color�as�me.

Perfect.

So them other niggas can sweat your perm out,

but I'm the only one who knows how to do this.

Well,�damn.

I don't always feel my best either.

Yeah, but a lotta people ain't looking at you.

I�got�fans.

No,�not�like�that.

I'm just sayin' women got a lot more to deal with.

People just hating 'cause you walking in your purpose.

What?

You're a reflection of what they wish they could be.

Wish they would get some therapy

and�stay�outta�my�comments.

You can't live a purposeful life

and not expect rocks to be thrown at you.

That's�not�how�it�works.

- Who told you that? - My dad.

Your daddy ain't always right, but that do make some sense.

Either that, or people just trash.

I�hope�it's�the�former.

Me�too.

I�miss�you,�Maisha.

I�miss�you�too.

But, uh, I still need some time to myself.

Yeah.�Yeah.�Of�course.

Just know I'm here if you need me.

Okay?

I do not know why you spend all day

customizing some shit you ain't gon' get.

Don't�kill�my�dreams.

Look, I wouldn't if you had some sorta income.

You told me to focus on school.

Yeah, and them Cs you bringing in here

means you ain't doing what I told you to do.

- I'm trying. - Yeah, well, try harder.

Did you work hard for your first car?

Nah,�I�stole�that�motherfucker.

Then why you in here telling me to work hard for it?

Because I don't want you to be like me.

Look,�I�ain't�trying�to�stunt.

I just wanna treat Jemma right.

You�wanna�treat�Jemma�right.

Mm.

Well,�you�ain't�do�Kev�right.

I'm always gonna tell you to follow your heart,

but don't step on your boy in the process.

How come you and Shaad ain't cool no more?

Man, that nigga like my family.

Yeah, but when it came down to him and Imani,

you�chose�Imani.

- She's my wife. - Not yet.

You�know�what�I�mean.

All I'm sayin' is you in here telling me to do shit

you�ain't�even�do�yourself.

Okay.

I'll talk to Shaad if you talk to Kev.

Tch.�All�right.

Let me know when you talk to Shaad.

Electronic�music

All�right.�I�will.

- What up, Kev? - What's up?

This�for�me?

Mm-mm. You ain't got no money.

He beefing with Maisha right now,

so I don't know how much help he gon' be.

What? Him and Maisha havin' issues?

Yeah.

- What's going on? - I don't know.

I guess he's used to being the star,

and now he's in the shadows, something like that.

'Kay.

Why you need advice from us anyways?

- You grown-ass man. - Love is hard.

I thought when you get older love was supposed to be easy.

Oh,�no.�Who�told�you�that�lie?

Man, what you call me in so early for?

It�slow�as�hell�in�here.

And�whose�food�is�this?

Look, I called you in early 'cause I need

some relationship advice, and this was, uh...

my�peace�offering.

This�ain't�no�peace�offering.

I�eat�here�for�free�anyway.

True.

Could at least pay me for my time and expertise.

Don't be tryin' to charge me when your own house

ain't�in�order.

Don't be puttin' my business on the street like that.

I�thought�everybody�knew,�man.

Sss.

Look, all I know is, I love my woman,

Yeah, yeah. Fight for your woman.

I�think�that's�a�lost�cause,�G.

All right, y'all, y'all keep it real with me, all right?

In a fight, who you think would win, me or Jake?

You know I don't believe in violence.

Jake does, so just, you know what I'm saying,

be careful.

Just 'cause he got dreads don't mean he violent.

I ain't talking about this man locs.

I'm talking about his family lineage.

He come from a long line of fighters.

That's�all�I'm�saying.

- I ain't scared of him. - Man, you should be. Shit.

Hey, I got a plan to surprise Maisha, but...

I�need�your�help.

Yeah,�man,�I�got�you,�anytime.

Yes. I knew I could count on you.

It's somebody not just anybody

You ain't tryin' to be nobody else but you

That's why I really don't mind

Spendin' all my time with you

'Cause my future I see it's you...

- Welcome back. - Miss me?

What�you�think?

How's�the�baby�doing?

He's not letting me get much sleep, but...

that's�a�good�thing.

Just�be�careful.

I hear sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations.

Yeah. Think I'm hallucinatin' right now.

Nah, this is real life. You got a shitty job,

you�just�gave�birth,

and you are madly in love with me.

I don't know about that last part.

Yeah, I'm still workin' on that last part.

Well, I'm flattered, but the only person

I'm madly in love with is my son.

I�get�that.

Do�you?

Yeah, you got a lot on your plate.

Yeah, a whole lot.

I'm�not�trying�to�add�to�it.

I just wanna take you out for a couple hours,

get�your�mind�off�things.

You look like you could use a break.

- What you trying to say? - You look gorgeous.

You also look like you need a break.

- You know I'm lactatin', right? - Yeah.

I live with my mom, her wife, and my little brother.

I�know�that�too.

Okay, and I'm not lookin' for a man to save me.

I don't think you need a man to save you.

I just like spending time with you.

And�it'd�be�nice�to�see�you

outside of these 15-minute breaks.

Yeah, I guess that would be nice.

So...

I'm�down.

Thank you, Jesus.

Was�you�even�pricin'�this�shit?

No.

You forget I used to date your ass,

so�I�know�when�you�lying.

Okay,�he�sent�me.

Wait,�please.

Just give me two seconds, all right?

I did speak to Papa, but I've been wanting to talk to you.

Come�on.

Thanks.

What?

I'm�proud�of�you.

- Nigga. - No, seriously, I am.

It's like ever since we broke up, you done came up.

I been the shit. You just couldn't see it.

Okay. Let's be clear. I had a crush on you first.

And�if�it�wasn't�for�me,

you wouldn't have the little bit of swag you got now.

- I give you that. - You ain't gotta give me shit.

That's the truth. I made you step your game up.

'Kay.�And�I'm�grateful.

As�you�should.

Jemma left me for my friend, so...

I�guess�karma�real,�ain't�it?

I wouldn't wish heartbreak on nobody...

not�even�you.

You�okay?

I�guess�so.

What you mean, "I guess so"?

I mean, I'm glad to be getting so much love.

But, as you know, that means hate gon' come with it.

First it was cool, but now it's so depressing.

Why?

'Cause folks treating me different.

People�acting�all�weird

'cause I got a "few more followers."

All my friends are so used to me

being�the�sidekick�that�now,

when I'm in the front, they don't know how to act.

Don't listen to none of that shit, a'ight?

You shining right now. You earned it.

I�appreciate�that,�but...

But?

You ain't gotta read these negative-ass comments,

Kev. Like...

I�be�looking�at�your�comments.

Most�folks�are�cool.

You�right.

Okay. What you need me to do?

'Cause you ain't come over here for nothing.

Oh, I need you to pull up to this party.

- Who all gon' be at the party? - Don't worry about it.

Oh, my God.

Look, okay, to be honest, between you and me,

I'm not trying to overshadow Papa.

- I know. - But I'm not going to downplay

who I am to make him feel comfortable either.

Nah. You know he wouldn't want that.

- I'll think about it. - Cool.

And don't slam my door.

Thank y'all for coming to Smokey's.

Y'all�have�a�good�one.

- What up, Trig? - What's up, G?

What's�going�on?

Aw,�man,�I�can't�call�it.

Yeah? Well, what can I get you, bro?

Let me get, uh, two number threes

with�fries,�extra�crispy.

And�fries... extra�crispy.

Make sure-make sure this one is extra crispy.

A'ight.�Yo,�but�look,

And I told you I like supportin'

Black-owned�businesses.

Bro,�take�my�money.

A'ight.�Tss.

No,�for�real,�bro,

I-I really appreciate what y'all doing for the community.

It feels good to be appreciated by somebody.

You�good?

Tryin' to be the best man I can be.

That's�a�lifelong�journey.

Tell�me�about�it.

My girl ain't come home last night.

And�I�woke�up�this�morning,

tried to make her the best breakfast

on the planet, you know what I'm saying,

with hopes that she would start stayin' home more often.

Did�it�work?

We'll�see.

What you mean "we'll see"?

We trying this, uh, open marriage thing.

- Word? - Yeah.

So, how's that working out for you?

It's not as dope as I thought it would be.

I mean, what, you basically get to fuck around

with whoever you want to, right?

Yeah,�but�so�does�she,�and...

she fucking a nigga with money.

So?

I mean, Smokey's doing okay, but I can't take her

on no trips or take her to fancy restaurants.

Aw,�come�on,�brother,�listen.

You gon' lose if you play by his rules, a'ight?

You got home-court advantage. That's your girl.

You know her better than anybody.

Don't shit for her homeboy can't do.

I don't know, man. She like expensive shit.

Man,�fuck�all�that.

Spoil�her�with�your�heart.

It's gon' mean more. Trust me.

Appreciate�it,�man.

Thanks,�bro.

Who�was�that?

That's�my�homie,�from�way�back.

How�far�back?

Uh... I went to middle school with her.

Y'all�was�talking�for�a�while.

Oh�my�God,�no�we�weren't.

Y'all used to talk or something?

We�went�together�as�kids.

Still�counts.

Anything before 18 doesn't count.

My ex from high school was always trying to fuck on me.

- Who? - Don't worry about it.

Is�he�still�trying�to�fuck�you?

- He's married now. - That don't mean shit.

I know you've been through a lot, but you gotta trust me.

I'm�not�trying�to�hurt�you.

Sorry.

What�are�you�sorry�for?

Accusing you of something you didn't do.

Oh, you don't gotta apologize for that.

If I were you, I wouldn't trust people either.

Jemma,�um...

Hey, Kevin. What you doing here?

- I love you. - Okay.

And, um, I know you and Jake are together,

but I still want us to be together,

and I'm gonna keep fighting for you.

- Well, that's harassment. - What?

When guys say things like "I have to have you"

or "I'll never stop fighting for you"

or "I can't live without you,"

it's not romantic, it's harassment.

I just wanted to prove my love to you.

You've been trained to think that fighting

for your woman is noble, but the truth is, it's scary.

And I have the right to leave you, even if it's messy.

And... it�was.

And�for�that,�I'm�sorry.

Hey,�I'll�always�love�you.

You�were�my�first�love.

But that doesn't mean you have to be my forever love.

- You still love me? - Of course I do.

Come�with�me�to�Papa's�party.

I'm not coming with you to Papa's party.

- Aw, come on... - I'm not an accessory.

All right, then just meet me there.

Bye,�Kevin.

Boy, what are you doin'? Like...

The�Isley�Brothers�CD.

That's-that's the one you wanted, right?

Oh my God. Are we acting out Love Jones?

Look at me. Look at me.

All right, hell, yeah, come on, let's do it.

- Come on, I'm ready. - I'll try to

hold�it�together... okay,�okay.

All right, I'm Nia. Darius Lovehall.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, I'll come pick you up tomorrow, about 8:00, 8:15.

Call�me�when�you�on�the�way.

Yeah.

You�got�my�number?

Yeah. I got your number.

Mmm...

- Okay, Larenz. - Got him now.

Hello?

Dang, you ain't even let it ring good.

I've never been a fan of playing it cool.

I'm not trying to make it seem like

I�don't�give�a�fuck�when�I�do.

Oh, you just laying it all out, huh?

Yep.

That's�new�to�me.

Well,�get�used�to�this�shit.

May I take you out on a real date?

Yes, you may. Where are we going?

Well, it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you.

No,�I�don't�like�surprises.

All right. I can tell you.

No, no, no, no. I'll wait.

I�was�hoping�you'd�say�that.

So,�how'd�it�go�with�Jemma?

Well, I basically learned that when a woman tells you

she doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore,

you�should�listen.

Wait, so am I making a big mistake

trying�to�win�back�Maisha?

Look, man, I think you just need to focus

on making the party lit. When she pulls up,

just make sure she has a good time.

That settles it. I gotta get the fog machine.

How's�that�gonna�help?

'Cause�she's�gonna�know

that I'm the type of guy that cares about the details.

Oh,�God.

I'm not gettin' on that thing.

Come�on.�I�got�ya.

I�don't�know.

Trust�me.

Just�hold�on�to�me.

Let's tell everybody our name is Darius and Nina.

- It is. - Yeah.

My name Darius. What yours... Nina, right?

- Nina. - Okay.

I said Nina.

Where's�your�motorcycle?

I�ain't�got�money�for�all�that.

Just�get�back�in�character.

Eh... you definitely a perfect Nina,

'cause you getting on my damn nerves already.

- Bring your ass. - Shut up.

Just�gonna�go�to�New�York?

- Huh? - Shut up.

With some dude? It ain't like you got

- some ring on your finger... - You want me to go...

- or nothing like that. - To New York.

You�know�what�I'm�saying?

Light�rock�music

You�got�a�old�soul,�huh?

You ain't gotta be old to appreciate good music.

Here, listen to this one. Reminds me of you.

And I'll say pretty memories...

It's�sexy.

It's�also�haunting�and�smooth.

I�like�it.

Me�too.

Oh, shit.

What�you�know�about�that?

Please, my mama love some good music to clean up to.

Mine�too.

Every time I hear Anita Baker's voice,

I know that old vacuum cleaner is gonna follow.

Why�were�they�so�loud,�though?

I wanna buy this.

Well, what if I wanted to buy it?

Music and memories go hand in hand,

and this is a memory I never wanna forget.

Why�do�I�feel�like�I'm�always

in an old cheesy rom-com with you?

- 'Cause I'm your leading man. - Oh, is that right?

- Uh-huh. - Okay.

See this bullshit?

Y'all know who that is?

Oh... shit.

Papa!

Where you-where you at? Oh!

Um... ha.

How are we supposed to enjoy the party

if�we�can't�see�each�other?

I might have gone overboard with the fog machine.

And why would you go and buy a fog machine?

Love�is�in�the�details.

That's a detail you could have skipped.

And�why�ain't�nobody�in�here?

I refused to let anybody walk in until you did.

So usually you get the party crackin' first,

so that way, when I walk in, it's already lit.

Ah. See? That's why I need you in my life,

'cause�Kev�don't�know�nothin'.

Damn,�Papa.

Just�let�'em�in.�Please.

Hey.

I ain't been to a comedy club in a minute.

I�know.

Nigga, I thought you was gonna take me bowling.

Tch. You just got your nails done.

Can we do Love and Basketball next weekend?

Yo, what up, Black people?

Why must we always be strong?

Why must we always be resilient?

Why must we always be the phoenix

that�rises�from�the�ashes?

Why must we always smile and turn the other cheek?

Why do we always run away from what scares us?

Why can't we run toward it and claim it as our own

and never allow it to control us again?

Why must success always come with punishment?

Why do we spend our lives fighting

to save everyone we love while allowing ourselves

to drown in their hopes and expectations?

Melancholy�music

I�just�want�her�to�be�happy.

I don't want no pain to come to her.

Especially�from�you.

Maisha is a queen. Always has been.

I'm just glad y'all finally catching up.

As they should.

She's really special and will always have

a�special�place�in�my�heart.

And tonight, I'm glad we get to celebrate her

and this amazing accomplishment.

So Maisha, come up here and receive your flowers.

Let�me�take�a�picture�of�you.

No. I-I don't like taking pictures.

No... I'll make you look good, I promise.

Just�trust�me.

Thanks�for�the�party,�Papa.

You know I'm always down to celebrate you.

Yeah.

But I just... I gotta learn how to celebrate myself.

- You already do. - No, I don't.

What�you�mean?

I mean, I appreciate people lifting me up

and telling me I'm the shit and everything,

but I don't always feel like that.

I mean, just because I look confident don't mean I am.

What can I do to make you feel as good as you look?

Nothing. You can't change everything.

So I'm 'posed to just stand by while you suffer?

I just need you to be there for me.

I�can't�just�do�nothing.

Well, looks like you gotta learn.

Thanks. I-I appreciate that feedback.

You know I'm always gon' tell you the truth.

I�know.

Where's�your�girl?

Were�you�jealous?

Of�course.

Were�you?

Yeah.�I�was.

I'm sure it's really hard for you to see me with Jake.

It�is.

I'm sorry, Kevin. We both are.

Nah,�y'all-y'all�good.

I just want to see y'all happy.

Somber�music
