LaTrice,
sometimes things aren't

as complicated as we make them.

There's always home.
Dream for a reason.

- There's always home.
- Dream for a reason.

- There's always home.
- Dream for a reason.

Now that's what I need me
right there.

Something like that
Mmhm.

She look like she doing
just fine with who she got

and don't need nothing like you.

I was talking about the car,
Theona.

Whatever, both of them
too fast for your broke ass.

Now how do you know she fast?

'Cause them shoes and
that car ain't cheap.

- Which means she gotta be?
- You tell me.

You the expert on fast, cheap
women.

Theona please. For all you
know,

that girl could be a new
customer.

She ain't coming in
here.

Where she gets her hair done,

they don't have customers,
they have clients.

Her hair got Snob Hill
hair weaved all over it.

♪ Who's that lady, real fine
lady ♪

Like I said, she ain't coming
in here

to be nobody's customer, she's
already somebody's client,

so you can put your chest away
and stop

sucking in your gut, Davis
Witherspoon.

I was looking at the car,
Theona.

- Mm-hm.
- Y'all two need to

stop fussing all the time, get
remarried, and make a baby.

It'll be a snowy day in the
middle of a Oakland summer

before that ever happens.
Oh, that's cold, Theona.

♪ Who's that lady ♪

And man falleth from
grace, not by wickedness,

but by weakness and the
power of temptation.

♪ Who's that lady, who's that
lady ♪

♪ Real fine lady, who's that
lady ♪

♪ Hear me callin' out to you

♪ 'Cause it's all that I can do♪

♪ Your eyes tell me to pursue

♪ Who's that lady, who's that
lady ♪

♪ Sexy lady

- Nice shoes.
- Oh, thank you.

You're not looking to
open up a shop, are you?

'Cause one fantastic
fashion boutique is already

too much for this block
to handle, you know.

I mean, folks around here
aren't spending the money

to be wearing the kind of
clothes you're wearing.

Well, if I should
decide to open up a shop,

rest assured, it won't
be a clothing store.

Good.

Thanks for the tip.

Let me know what you think,
I would love to continue

all the good work that
we've been doing, okay?

Thanks so much, bye bye.

I know it's a little less
convenient, but I believe that

the extra 30 minute
drive would be worth it,

considering all the
progress that we've made.

Hi Shelby, it's Dr. Monroe.

You can just put them in there,

and that can go in the front.

I wonder what kind of place
she's opening up down there.

Whatever it is, it's her
business, so stop spying on her.

Come on inside.
She been here

15 minutes and you already
defending her.

What you talking about,
Theona?

All I said was her business
ain't none of your business.

Now how's that defending the
lady?

Oh, now she's a lady?

12 seconds ago she was a
woman, now she's a lady.

What you gonna make her next,
her majesty?

I swear to Jesus, Theona, you
can

turn something into nothing.

Ha, don't bring Jesus into
this.

Jesus ain't got nothing
to do with this, Davis.

You the one standing here
turning water into wine,

all of a sudden talking about
Jesus.

I think you in the wrong
building...

- Theona, I swear to Jesus.
- You need to be next door

giving sermons right now as much as
you know about Jesus all of a sudden.

Don't need no encyclopedia
when you around.

You know what I'm gonna,
you know what I'm a get you?

- 'Cause you know everything.
- I'm a get you a...

Yeah, you can just put it in
there.

Yes, that's great, thank you.

- Ow, what'd you do that for?
- Por que?

You're more interested in
watching what's going on

next door than helping
me open up for business.

We don't have any business
yet.

I mean, that's because
we're not ready for any.

Let me have my cafecito,

- chica.
- Que no.

Oh, please, please, please be
careful

with the corners, this
is kangaroo leather.

We're being careful,
lady.

Decided to move in after all,
huh?

Yes, I did, I just
decided to make a go of it.

- A go of what exactly?
- Uh, I'm a therapist.

So, you're gonna be giving
people massages in there.

No, I'm, I'm a psychologist, I
have

a PhD in psychology,
I'm Dr. LaTrice Monroe.

- Rodney.
- Rodney.

Rodney Smalls, professionally
Mali.

I hope you're not overpaying
on the rent because,

you know, Marquis will hike
me and everybody else up

if you start giving him all this
cash.

Oh no, I don't think
so, I think the rent is

- pretty reasonable.
- Uh huh.

I have to watch these guys, but
we're neighbors, so I'm sure

- I'll see more of you.
- Yeah, anyways, all right.

Well, if I knew this
place was gonna have

that kind of view, I'd
have moved in myself.

Sorry, didn't mean to come
up on you like that, my bad.

- You are?
- Your landlord.

- Oh, hi.
- Hi.

- I'm...
- Dr. LaTrice Monroe,

your name's on the agreement.

Yeah, my property management
company, that's virtual,

but the paperwork, much
like myself, is real.

- You own the building.
- No, I own

- the block actually.
- Wow.

Well listen, call me,
day or night, you know,

if you need something
unplugged or screwed in.

- Yeah, that sounded crazy.
- No.

I'm sorry, listen, I just
like to keep my renters happy.

Oh, but I'm not a
renter, I signed a lease.

Yes you did, you paid for an
entire year

- up front.
- Yep.

Gotta say, I like your style.

- Thank you, Mr. King.
- Please, call me Marquis.

Price of gas done went up
three more

cents, seven in the past two
months.

What you worried about seven
cents for?

You don't drive nowhere
but here and back home.

Theona, how you know where
I be in my car with my gas?

I don't and I don't care.

You the one that started the
conversation.

I didn't start nothing, all I
said was

gas went up, I ain't say nothing
about me

- being somewhere.
- Mm-hm.

See how men do?

All the time starting so you
don't finish.

Mm-hm, you ain't lying about
that,

- Theona.
- Morning.

How y'all doing this morning?

Hey girl, look at you
with your short pants on.

Woo yeah, it's hot out there
today.

How you doing, Spoon, what
you doing, reading the paper?

Jeanette, you see me sitting
here reading this paper,

now why is you gonna ask
me if I'm doing something

- you already see me doing?
- Now why is he tripping?

I'm just trying to make a little

Saturday morning conversation,
that's all.

If he don't wanna talk, I can
drop off

what I'll drop off and
go on about my business.

Now, y'all ain't got nothing but

a water bill and a Essence
magazine.

I left all your junk mail on the
truck

because it is too hot to
be pushing all of that.

Now, if you want to read
that and study your paper,

I'll go on back to the truck and
get it.

Don't pay him no mind, he's
just upset

about gas going up three cents.

I am not upset that
gas went up three cents.

I was sitting here reading the
paper,

commented that gas done
went up seven more cents

in the past two months, that's
all.

Well, what are you upset
about,

is it the three cent or the
seven cent?

- I am not upset.
- He's sitting there

acting upset like he don't know
he upset.

Girl, that's borderline crazy.

You know maybe you need to go
see

that new head doctor just
moved in three doors down,

but would you let him, Theona,
because

woo, that is a pretty sister.

She mixed, probably got
some Cherokees in her, too.

- Have you seen her?
- Mm-hm,

Davis just about passed
out, sucking in his gut

and sticking out his chest
looking at her.

- Oh, is that right?
- I was looking at the car,

- Theona.
- Mm-hm.

Why would somebody smart
enough

to be a doctor with all that
kind of money

wanna put a head shop
in this neighborhood?

What's wrong with this
neighborhood?

It's full of Black people.

And what's wrong with Black
people?

Black people don't
talk about they problems.

Not their real problems.

Mm-mm, we keep that deep down
inside,

it's between us and God.

Maybe Jeanette's right,
maybe you should go see your

lady doctor fantasy girlfriend,
get your head shrunk.

You want me to ask if she have

any openings to shrink your
head?

- Morning, Rev.
- Well, good morning

Sister Ellis, how you doing
today?

- Oh, hot and working.
- Now, Sister Ellis...

I know, I need to quit acting
a fool in my father's house.

Missed you at bible study last
night.

Oh yeah, don't tell nobody,
but

I fixed dinner for my
son, he came up from under

just to spend a few minutes with
his mama.

Oh, isn't that sweet?
It sure is, Sister Ellis,

it sure is.
Well, just look at me

just carrying on about
my boy when I need to

be letting you handle your
business.

I got a letter here for you
and it's from Florida State.

You know something, it might
be some good news in here.

Maybe they going put your name
on the side of a building,

honor you with your name on a
stadium.

Wouldn't that be something?

It would, Sister Ellis, but...

- Woo.
- Lest we forget,

it is not good to eat much
honey, nor is it glorious

to seek one's own glory,
Proverbs 25:27.

You know, with all the
philosophy

and fancy preaching you
do, I bet you'd have a

lot to talk about with
that new head doctor.

I hear that they say she is as
smart

and rich as she is good looking.

But see, what I don't
understand,

what I can't figure, is
why would she set up here?

I mean, what's she gonna do
that we ain't getting done?

We got you and you got God.

Well, well, we all
have God, Sister Ellis,

and He has a plan for each and
every

- one of us.
- Yeah, maybe so.

Got the place looking pretty
good.

Some new paint, new plastic
people,

a crazy looking wallpaper.

- Yeah.
- How much that cost?

I'd raise your rent,
but since you're already

behind last month's, I'll
tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna give you to the
first of this coming month

for you to catch up in
full, how does that sound?

I'm doing the best I can,
Marquis.

I'll pay you what I owe
you as as soon as I'm able,

it's just, business has just
been slow.

You see, that's the problem
right there.

I said I'll pay you as soon as
I can.

Come here for a second.

It's not what you said,
it's what you didn't say.

You didn't say Mr. King, you
said Marquis.

Well guess what, Marquis ain't
here.

Mr. King your landlord is here

and you're behind on your rent.

I can't pay you what I don't
have...

And that being the
situation, you still felt

comfortable enough to
not pay me some respect.

And how can you expect someone
who

doesn't pay you any respect to
pay you

anything at all, you know what
I'm saying?

- Yeah.
- That's crazy.

So, I want all my money
on the first or else you

and all this stuff is
gonna be out on the street,

- as simple is that.
- Yeah.

Oh hey, Mother Keys.

Don't you hey me,
Jeanette Ellis, you've been

lightening your load and
leaving me without my coupons.

I need my coupons, you hear me?

Okay Mother Keys, you're
right, my bad.

I will make sure that I
deliver you all the coupons

on my truck with your name
on it and some, all right?

- I guess that'd be all right.
- I'll see you in a while.

Mm mm mm, child, you need to
put on

some long pants 'cause Lord
knows

you too big boned to
have on them short pants.

I don't know what she talking
about,

I make these short pants look
good.

- How you doing today, girl?
- I'm fine, Jeanette.

- Where's Papa Jesus?
- Said he had to

take care of something this
morning.

Should have been here by now,
though.

Well, I hope the feds
ain't snatched him up

and shipped him off to Mexico or
nothing.

- Jeanette.
- Give me a pack of that gum.

- Crazy.
- Oh girl,

you know, you know me,
I'm just playing with you.

Shoot, I wish somebody
would come around here

talk about they'd wanna take
y'all out

and put you on the other
side of some damn wall.

Hoo, they gonna have to come
through me

and everybody else on this
block, you see what I'm saying?

We're legal, I was practically
born here and Dad came from

- Cuba when he was 33.
- 34, your mother was 33.

- Hey Jesus, how you doing?
- Fine, Jeanette.

You bring me anything worth
reading or just more bills?

Ugh, same old, same
old, just more bills.

That's okay, we're still living
the American dream, right?

Speaking of the American
dream,

give me one of those quick
pick tickets right quick.

Yeah, I don't wanna be a working
girl

- walking these streets forever.
- Here you go, good luck.

Oh, I'm not gonna need luck.

I had a dream about this last
night

after eating catfish and
cornbread with my son.

Watch, you'll see, we dream for
a reason.

This is my ticket to
being rich and famous.

Oh, and speaking of rich and
famous,

have y'all seen your new
neighbor?

Dad's been staring at
her butt every chance

- he gets.
- Well, he's not alone.

I mean, either everybody
is either looking at it or

- talking about it, you know.
- Right.

Listen, I'm going over there
right now, but I am telling

you, I'm not opening my
mouth, I'm not saying a word.

I'd never ever say a
word to nobody about him.

So, how long has your son been

- an FBI agent?
- Special agent.

Going on seven years now,
but he's been undercover

- the last two.
- I bet you miss seeing him.

I miss him terribly,
but I know he's helping

to keep America safe and
if him seeing his mama

have to take a backseat,
then it's okay with me.

Oh, this couch is nice.

- Is that the trick?
- The trick?

To getting folks to tell they
secrets and they problems,

you put 'em on this comfortable
couch.

There's no trick, Jeanette.

People talk because they want
to.

People need to express what's
going on

on the inside, which often
manifests to what's happening

- to them on the outside.
- Ugh, sounds complicated.

If people spend some time
examining

why they're feeling the
way they're feeling,

it can lead to an
understanding of why they're

doing the things that
they're doing and vice versa,

and then all of that leads
to a knowledge of self,

which can then bring
about the desired change

in their behavior or the
circumstances.

So, why are you here, why
are you doing what you doing?

I know you didn't just wake up
one day

and leave the world you
belong to, to come down here

and kick it with your
people for no reason.

Have a nice weekend, Shelby.

Thank you so much.

Yes, yes, and listen,
remember,

we're much more than who we're
with.

- Okay.
- Okay?

But what if I'm with,
like, George Clooney?

He was, in just a hypothetical
world, if he was single.

- No, mm-mm.
- Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay, well no, tomorrow's
Saturday.

- I bought Saturday.
- Okay.

All right.
See you.

Show me your diploma.

Ah.

It's man trouble, ain't it?

What kind of trifling fool would

mess up so that he'd
lose a catch like you?

- Grant.
- I'm sorry, Dr. Monroe,

I didn't mean to interrupt your
session.

- Uh...
- Oh well honey,

I ain't paying, so you ain't
interrupting nobody's session.

Girl, you go on handle your
business.

He kinda fine for a white
boy, you see what I'm saying?

Oh, I'll be here on Monday
with your mail, darling.

Okay Jeanette, thank you.

What are you doing here?

I came here to see if you were

ready to be reasonable and
reconcile.

I figured I'd give you some
time to come to your senses

over that meaningless dalliance

and to see if we could
make up with a dinner.

- My treat.
- Oh.

Just to be clear, you
and your little ding dong

have a meaningless dalliance
practically right in my face,

which causes me to walk out of
your life,

and then you waltz your little
lying, cheating, trifling ass

into my new office and
practically demand

a reconciliation over dinner,
your treat?

Come on, LaTrice, you
know I'm no good at this.

And I have no idea what
trifling arse means,

but I'm here, darling, and I'm
trying.

What do you say?

I say get out, Grant.

- Are you serious?
- Yes.

You want to throw away
everything we had

just so that you can play
witch doctor to these people?

These people, you arrogant
ignoramus, are my people.

LaTrice, can we, can we just
have

a little reality check, okay?

These people are no more your
people than they are mine.

Yes, they're your color,
but they're not your kind

and the sooner that we
can come to grips with,

with that reality, we
can begin to reconcile.

So, dinner?

No, okay, no.

Yeah.

You wanna know what trifling
means?

Trifling means trivial,
inconsequential,

petty, and insignificant.

Look, you're obviously
not ready to talk right now,

- so I'll...
- Get outta here.

And you know what else?

These are my people.

Here come that little thug.

You leave him alone,
Davis, he's just a boy.

That wannabe gangster
ain't nothing but trouble

waiting to happen.
He's a rap artist,

- not a gangster.
- Same damn thing.

- Yo, what's cracking, y'all?
- Yo ass is what's cracking.

Pull your pants up, boy.

And don't come out that bag with
nothing

'cause ain't nobody in here
buying.

Oh, you gonna come in
Glock-9 like that, Pops?

If I was your Pops,
your pants would be up.

Leave him alone, Davis.

Hi Dwayne, how you doing, baby?

I'm fine, Miss Theona, but
yo, can you call me Glock-9?

- I'm trying to build my brand.
- Aw, that's cute.

So, what you got today, new CDs?

Yeah look, so I spit
these last night, all right?

- They're dope.
- Theona,

don't waste your money on that
mess.

It's my money, I can spend
it whatever way I like.

How much today, Glock-9?

All right, $2.99 for one or
two for $5.

I think I will get two.

Get my Christmas shopping
for Davis done early.

- Huh.
- Hey, anybody else?

'Cause my bars are on a
whole new level right now.

Anything worth the listening
to,

I got right there in
that jukebox over there.

That thing's been broke
since before we got here

and who knows how long before
that.

Still don't mean
what's inside ain't good.

Man, that thing's so old,
it's not even old school.

That was before the old school.

- When music was music.
- I'll fix it if you want.

- Aww.
- I'm really good

at like, you know, hooking up
electronics,

video games, whatever you need.

I'll do it for free if you let
me

sample some of the songs for my
beats.

No, you ain't gonna mix
up the good with the bad.

- It's gonna stay broke.
- All right, man.

Yo, let me know if you change
your

mind before my offer expires.

Before your offer expire, huh?

Boy, get your butt outta
here before I call the police

- on you.
- All right.

Glock-9 out, gotta bounce.

Bye Dwayne, I mean, Glock-9.

Bye, Celine Shot.

You should be nicer to the
boy.

Bad enough he has no family to
speak of.

All I know is that boy
better not touch my jukebox.

You got some lifesavers in
your mouth?

'Cause I can't understand
a thing you saying.

Mm-hm.

It's cheap, man, it ain't that
expense...

For real?

Yo, why you all the
time gotta trip, Rodney?

Ain't like I'm asking
you to be tracked in,

all I'm asking you for is to
sling

- my beats in your shop, man.
- Do you see what I sell here?

I sell wraps, okay, not bad rap.

Whatever man, you'd probably
make

hella more cheddar off of my
jams

than these weak ass rags
you trying to hustle.

Yeah.

You sure
you don't need any money?

I don't need any money, Dad.

- And I'm fine...
- We can helicopter over

- to the mainland...
- Yo.

- Uh.
- Excuse me.

Dad, lemme call you right
back, someone just walked in.

- Who, Grant?
- No, it's not Grant.

- Love you.
- Bye now.

Bye.

Okay, that was rude.

Did you not see that I was on
the phone?

All right, well, I said excuse
me.

What you said was, "Yo, excuse
me."

All right, my bad.

But you off the phone now,
right,

so can I holler at you for a
minute?

- What is your name?
- Glock-9.

- And how old are you?
- Old enough.

Okay, now you're
lying and you're rude.

I know your mother taught
you better than that.

- I ain't got no mother.
- Oh, I see.

So, how can I help you, Mr.
Nine?

Actually, I'm here to help
you.

- Really?
- Mm-hm.

- How's that?
- Well, you're new

on the block, right?
I suppose I am.

Yeah, you know, your situation

ain't exactly popping, right?

And this right here, Glock-9's
latest and greatest flame.

Look, you buy a dozen of
these for $2.99 a piece

and then you flip it and
sell it for $4.99 a piece

and you got people lining
up outside your shop

just to get in here to talk to
you.

- You feel me?
- I do feel you,

but I don't sell anything in
here.

What do you do here
then, what's your hustle?

My hustle is that I
help people find answers.

- Answers to what?
- To whatever

they may be questioning in their
lives.

Well, you ain't gonna
make no type of cheddar

around here with a lame hustle
like that.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Why not?
- Because nobody

gonna give you they money
to talk about they stuff

when they don't know
you or what you about.

I mean, look, you got some buzz,

but you ain't got no street
cred.

Only thing the block know
about you is that you rich.

- And pretty.
- Pretty?

Mm-hm, and rich.

So, how many of my CDs you want?

Let me see.

- Hm, gimme two.
- All right, for sure.

A honey, man.

A faithful man showed
up bound with blessings,

but he that maketh haste to
be rich shall not be innocent.

What are you up to, Marquis?

You shall not take
vengeance or bear grudge

against the sons of your
own people, but you shall

love your neighbor as
yourself, I am the Lord.

I'm sorry, I wasn't sure
what time service started.

Well, our times are in His
hands.

Have a seat right down
in front, Sister Monroe.

Thank you, excuse me, sorry.

- She got on the phone.
- She got some nerve

coming up in here late
and dressed in that dress.

She late, but that
dress is right on time.

Judge not, that you be not
judged.

And in that spirit, let us
welcome

our newest neighbor, Dr. LaTrice
Monroe.

I'd like to think that her
services, like herself, will be

a welcome addition to the
block and the neighborhood.

For we are members of one
another.

- Somebody say amen.
- Amen.

I'd like to get to our feet
for a little

Sunday morning singing and
praise giving.

Mother Keys, if you please.

Now people, the Bible says do
unto

others as you'd have them do
unto you.

And can't nobody do me like
Jesus.

Well.

Woo, thank you, Jesus.

The service was wonderful,
I really enjoyed it.

Do you feel saved?

I feel insufficient.

Huh.

Well, at least you feel
something, that's a good start.

They really don't want me
here, do they?

They want what everybody else
wants.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hm.

I'm not here to compete
with you, you know.

God's a monopoly, He has no
competition.

And as far as me, well, hm,
my competing days are over.

Arrogance and ignorance saw to
that

- before I was shown the light.
- Do you miss it?

The cheering crowds and
the, "Carter, Carter."

- The fans, the money.
- Now, how do you...

- Oh, my boy, um, my...
- Uh huh.

- Business partner.
- Hm.

Was really into football and
we

used to watch your games
sometimes.

You were really good.

- Two Pro Bowls, Heisman Trophy.
- Oh, actually three

- Pro Bowls, but hey.
- Oh ho.

Okay, okay, I'm sorry, my bad.

That must have been hard
to end the way it did.

Yeah, I'd be lying
if I say it didn't hurt

and that I don't miss
it sometimes, but uh,

I don't miss who I was or

where I was at the time, do you?

Oh.

I was born here in Oakland.

Yeah, I grew up right
around in Havenscourt.

- What, Havens...
- Yeah,

right next to Flints Barbecue.

- What?
- Yes.

I, I wouldn't have thought, I,

- well...
- Well.

Yeah, we left when I was 11.

My father got a big job in
Connecticut

with a manufacturing firm.

It paid well, so I grew up
well traveled, well educated.

We never even came back to
visit.

You know, my grandmother used
to say

sometimes you have to go to

- Nothing.
- Why I gotta apologize?

You the one who started it.

Bringing up...
Bringing up what, Davis?

- The truth?
- Theona,

that was a long time ago, long
time ago.

I really appreciate you
letting me

pray here, Reverend Carter,
thank you.

We might be from different
faiths,

but it's all the same God.

Do you believe God punishes us

for our mistakes, for our sins?

I believe God is a
loving and forgiving God

and that we, his children,
often without mercy

punish ourselves for things
we regret we've done.

If whatever it is, is troubling
you,

He will help you see it through.

Everything was perfect

and then he had to go

and ruin the whole night
by popping the question.

- Well, and?
- And

He had the nerve to ask if
getting Botox injections hurt

'cause he was thinking
about surprising his mother

with a treatment for her 50th
birthday.

I mean, can you imagine?

Shelby, how old was this man?

I don't know, 27, maybe 28.

Old enough to know better
than to bring up his mommy

when asking a lady about
her beauty secrets.

Shelby, you know that
dating a younger man

is not the way to build
up your self esteem.

I am not a cougar.

My friend Olivia, now she's a
cougar.

- Olivia, who's Olivia?
- Well, she's just a couple

- years older than moi.
- Mm-hm.

She's had the little
tiniest bit of work done

to her face, breasts,
butt, hips and thighs.

Oh, she's had her lips done,
too, but I mean, who hasn't?

Um.

- Oh my god.
- Oh my god what?

I caught cougar-it is from
Olivia.

Shelby, you know, passing
judgment on yourself predicated

on comparing yourself to
others is always a bad choice.

No, I know, I know I'm not
Olivia.

I mean, I love her, but
I don't want to be her.

Not in any way, shape, or form.

Although she does have a nice
shape.

And she should, she
certainly paid enough for it.

Who do you wanna be, Shelby?

I want to be

Myself.

And who is that?

Sue Ellen Beryl Dickstead,
that's who.

I can't believe how good I feel
right now.

It's a completely different
woman.

You're the best, LaTrice.

You do you, boo.

I'll see you when I need you.

- Drive safe, Shelby.
- Okay, mami.

You must be real good if
you can turn Barbie into

- Erykah Badu.
- Theona, hi, welcome.

I was in the neighborhood, so
thought

I'd come by, take a look at your
shop.

You've seen mine, figured
I'd come see yours.

- Oh.
- Huh.

Hm.

Sure is different than the
other shops in the neighborhood.

Well, it's a work in progress.

You look like somebody who needs
to talk.

- Oh no.
- What?

Just 'cause you sat in my
chair

doesn't mean I'm a lay on your
couch.

I get on that thing, people call
me crazy.

So, you can forget about
that, ain't gonna happen.

Shoot.

I mean, even if I did want to
talk,

- which I don't...
- Mm-hm.

It would be over a cup of
coffee at my kitchen table,

not crying to you on your
couch 'cause I ain't crazy.

I mean, it hurt so bad, I can't
even

put into words how bad it hurt.

Davis and me, we were supposed
to be together forever.

I knew that from the very
first time I laid eyes on him.

He was playing basketball in the
park

And I was there with my
girlfriends watching the boys play.

Davis had on shorts, no shirt,
and was covered in sweat.

Girl, he was fine.

He was staring at me so hard he
got

hit in the face by a no look
pass.

Ball hit him so hard
gave him a bloody nose.

Everybody was laughing at him.

Davis didn't care.

He just kept

right on staring at me, smiling.

After the game,

he asked me out on a date and
that was it.

The first boyfriend I ever had
ended up becoming my husband.

So, you see,

not only did I lose my best
friend,

I lost the only man I've ever
known

and who meant everything to me

to another woman who didn't
mean anything to him.

How do you get right
with something like that?

You don't, you can't,
but you can forgive.

Could you forgive him?

That's a question that you're
gonna

have to answer for yourself,
Theona.

But you get to decide.

- Dr. Monroe.
- You are

so wrong on so many levels.

LaTrice, LaTrice, LaTrice,
please, please, let me explain,

- let me explain.
- What?

That wasn't physical, that
was the purely psychosexual.

Wow, the Sigmund Freud
defense.

- Really, Grant...
- Now,

if we just talk about this
rationally,

- though...
- Let go of me.

I love you, I love you.

Whoa, don't inch me up too
close,

I don't need you bumping me up,
you know?

I been cutting your hair as
half

as long as you've been alive.

Have I ever bumped you up?

No, but I also don't want
today

to be the day that you
start bumping me up.

I don't tell you how to
sew, you don't tell me how to

- clean up no kitchen.
- I ain't got no kitchen.

- Okay, how's that?
- Oh Theona, it's beautiful.

Girl, Hollywood ain't got
nothing on you.

But I'm gonna have to sleep
standing up

- so I don't mess it up.
- Mm, well we'll have to

see what Mr. Keys has
to say about that now.

Child, I look so good that
Mr. Keys is gonna have to

handle his business standing
up or down on all fours.

Ooh, Mother Keys, you
know you need to stop now.

Well, as long as it's still
good,

honey, I don't need to stop.

All right, here you go.

That's a little something for
you.

Aw, thank you, thank you.

And I'll take care of you on
the first.

All right, see you at church.

Woo, this is where my people
at.

Hey Spoon, hey Rodney.

Oh, and look at you, is this
Miss America

or Miss Keys looking this good
up in here?

Oh Jeanette, get outta my
way with your crazy self.

That old woman is strong.

Hey Rodney, I heard your
business is picking up.

White folk could start buying
your stuff.

I'm telling you, P. Diddy,
Kanye, Jay-Z and them,

they wasn't hitting it all that
much

until them white kids
start buying their music.

- Yeah baby, you on your way.
- Come on.

- Hey, Theona.
- Hmm.

I heard you hit the couch, how
was it?

- Felt good, right?
- Jeanette.

You been down to that head
shop?

- You ain't tell Spoon?
- It's supposed to be private.

Oh, I'm sorry, my bad.

Here's your mail, I'm out, okay,
my bad.

Theona, you been down
there talking to that shrink?

I thought you liked her.

What's that got to do with it?

And what was y'all talking
about, me?

If you must know, I
was talking 'bout me.

How's you gonna talk about
you without talking 'bout me?

Maybe you should go try
it and see for yourself, hm?

It'd be a snowy day in a
Oakland summer

before that ever happened,
I'll tell you that much.

- Davis, you working today?
- Yes, I am working today.

- Going in my business.
- I'm working right now.

Look at this, look at
all the work I'm doing.

- It seems personal.
- Look at all the

- work I'm doing.
- It seems personal.

I'm so full of guilt, couldn't
even look her in the eye.

And she ain't yell and she ain't
hit,

she just stood there, hurt.

Do you know why you did what
you did?

Ain't no good explanation and
it

cost me my wife, my best friend.

Theona didn't deserve none
of what I had done to her.

But the worst part is I can't
fix it,

I can't make her forget.

I swear to God I wish I could,
even if

it meant her ever, never not
knowing me.

Did you ever tell her how you
feel?

We can't get three
words into a conversation

without fussing and
fighting with one another.

Why I gotta apologize?

You the one who started it.

- Bringing up...
- Bringing up what, Davis?

- The truth?
- Theona,

that was a long time ago, long
time ago.

Now we are here doing what
we doing how we doing it.

I made you a plate, it's in
the back.

You know you shouldn't be
drinking

in the middle of the day
and on an empty stomach.

What you think would happen

if you started your next
conversation

with these three words: I love
you?

♪ I was a bright inquisitive
girl ♪

I have missed you so
much and I don't want there

to be any more misunderstandings

Dear Mr.
Carter,

we are pleased to inform you
that we would like you to

interview for an assistant
offensive coaching position.

Please call the athletic
department coordinator.

You know, there's been a whole
bunch of

robberies in this area as of
late.

Anyway, it's probably just a
good thing

not to keep a whole
bunch of cash on hand.

No problem there.

We're not exactly Whole Foods.

Well, you look like you're
doing pretty good to me.

Have a nice day, okay?

- Take care, Mr. Salgado.
- You too, Officer Daniels.

Just because he has a uniform
and a gun

does not mean you let him
talk to you any way he wants.

He was only flirting with me.

He was disrespecting you
and in front of your father.

- I'm not a child.
- You're not a puta either,

so you shouldn't let
yourself be treated like one.

Bodega USA.

Just a minute, please.

Papa?

The doctor's office.

Hello?

Yes, this is Mr. Salgado.

What is it about death
that frightens you?

Being dead, that's what's
frightening about death.

I'm just not ready.

I want to be with my
beautiful Erlinda again, but

the thought of my not seeing my
Angelica

married to a good man, my
grandchildren growing up.

You need to fight, Mr.
Salgado.

Fight for Angelica, fight for
these

grandchildren you wanna see grow
up.

You need to fight for yourself.

I have a feeling that Erlinda,
she will be rooting for you.

- What is this?
- Something to

help you throw the first punch.

about, camaraderie and commerce.

Talk about making noise

What you want, Marquis?

- It ain't the first.
- See,

that attitude and that mouth is

why you ain't a married woman no
more.

Something I can do for you,
Marquis?

Actually, there is.

You can be out by the end of
next month.

What you talking 'bout,
out by the end of next month?

It's right there in black and
white.

Notice to vacate the premises?

- That's right.
- Marquis,

you know damn well we have a
lease agreement

and we ain't been late paying,

- not once.
- It's true.

You've never been late with the
payment

and I appreciate it, but
what you need to appreciate

is the fact that you don't
have a lease agreement.

What you have is a rental
agreement.

The hell is you talking about,
Marquis?

What difference does it
make what you call it?

Makes all the difference in
the world.

Uh-uh, whatever the difference
is,

you can't just throw us out in

I beg to differ.

Throw y'all out?

Oh, shut the hell up, crazy
mail lady,

business is being talked.

- Why I...
- Mm.

Why Marquis, why is you doing
this?

Lemme cut to the chase.

- I'm selling the block.
- Selling the block?

To who, who buying?

- We'll talk to them.
- You can talk to

whoever you want, they're still
gonna

tear down, pave over, and use
this land as a parking lot.

- Parking lot?
- That's right,

the parking lot business is a
$30 billion a year enterprise.

Ain't nobody giving a damn

- We care about ours.
- Yeah,

Don't know if there's

Well, I know what I'm gonna
do,

I'm gonna buy the whole block.

Jeanette, we in real trouble

I ain't talking nobody's

Y'all ain't got a thing

- Can I help you, Mr. King?
- Damn.

That is why I like you, Mr.
Salgado.

You understand business and
you have a concept of respect.

What can we do for you,
Marquis?

Just came by to bring you
this.

By the way, saw a young
brother running outta here

with a handful of pull
pies while I was coming in.

I don't exactly think he
took the time to pay for it,

so you might wanna check and
see what else is missing.

Y'all take care.

When Mr. Salgado calls,
I need him to be seen

and I need him to be seen right
away.

Whatever's not covered,
I will handle personally.

Yes, yes, thank you so much.

Yes, okay, bye bye.

I do like a woman who squeezes
hard and gets the job done.

- Mr. King.
- Marquis.

Marquis, to what do I owe this
pleasure?

I came to make you a little
proposal.

Well, if this proposal
has anything to do

with lying on my couch,
I'm afraid I'm gonna

have to take a professional
pass.

That is blunt and
beautiful, I like that.

But no, this proposal is
actually of

a professional nature, not human
nature.

I have a black belt in mind
games.

I have a business opportunity
that

requires me to sell all
of my real estate assets

for investment capital purposes.

And what about all
the block's businesses?

Buildings get torn down,
land gets redeveloped.

So, you want all the tenants
to agree

to allow you to break our
leases.

I've only got one lessee.

All the others are just
renters, month to month,

with one that's damn
near on a layaway plan.

But what about their
livelihoods?

- Their livelihoods?
- Yes.

Well, they got they problems,

I gots mines that I am
going to do something about

when I sell out to that
construction consortium

that's building that shopping
center across the street.

They're gonna build these
upscale condos

on top of a 10 story parking
lot.

Honey, that's gonna be real
pretty.

I mean, you know, except
for the parking lot,

that's probably gonna be pretty
ugly.

Does this proposal have a
point?

Yes and the point is
you don't belong here,

Dr. Monroe, we both know that.

You are wasting your time and
your talents

down here trying to fix these
folks

that don't even know they're
broke.

Why don't you get on this
free money making situation?

You know something, Marquis?

There's no such thing as
a free money situation.

What you need is for me to agree

to be bought out so you can
sell, right?

Well, it is either all coming
down

or coming down all around you.

Let me tell you something,
Marquis.

I know exactly who you are,

what you are, and how you
operate.

So why do you do what you do?

I don't know why I do what I do,

I just know that I have to do
it.

Ah.

Did you ever think that maybe by

helping others, you're helping
yourself?

That by helping others to be
their

best selves, you become your
best self?

Are you your best self, LaTrice?

I don't know.

You tell me,

am I?

That's a question only
you can answer, LaTrice.

None of this started happening

until she showed up on the
block.

I know she ain't here, why ain't
she here?

Because she cut a deal, that's
why.

- No no no no.
- Wait now,

brothers and sisters,

- please.
- Come on, that's not right.

Brothers and sisters, please.

I knew she wasn't nothing but
trouble

from the minute Davis laid eyes
on her.

Now wait a minute, now
Proverbs 23...

Reverend, please.

No disrespect, but this ain't

no time for proverbs and prayer.

We talking about losing our
neighborhoods, our livelihoods.

- We in a crisis.
- Which is no time

for us to turn against one
another and lose our way.

We have to tackle this
thing together as a team.

This ain't no game, this it
for real.

We ain't talking about playing
for no big signing bonuses

or no championship rings or
anything else

you used to in your past life...

Brother Davis, Brother Davis,
Brother...

Talking about our lives here.

Stop it, stop it, all of you.

I did not come to this country
to fight

with our neighbors and our
friends.

- So please, stop it.
- Papito.

I mean, how can we stop him

from selling if he owns the
buildings?

Isn't that his right?

Just 'cause he owns
the buildings don't mean

he got the right to ruin the
businesses that's in 'em.

Maybe for all we know, LaTrice
could be

the answer to our
problems, not the problem.

Look, she's rich, maybe
she loans us a little money

so we can hire a lawyer to sue
Marquis.

I'm not as well off as the
talk of

the block would have you
believe.

I'm far from whore, yes,

but I'm also far from
sitting on a family fortune.

Marquis did offer me a deal.

We trusted you.

I know.

Marquis had no choice but to
approach me

and try to strike a bargain,

- but I didn't accept his offer.
- Why,

because he low balled you?
No.

Stay away from them if you
know what's good for you.

Because it wasn't right for us.

And you would've only been
sleeping with the devil.

I told you I gotcha, don't
worry.

I want you to meet my pride and
joy,

my baby boy, Special Agent
Edmund Ellis.

Well hello, nice to meet you.

I've heard a great deal about
all of you

and my mother has explained to
me

the basic facts pertaining
to your predicament.

Your landlord, Mr. King,
he's got a predicament

or two of his own, starting with
the fact

that he owes Uncle Sam
a substantial amount

of unpaid taxes from years of
undeclared

- income.
- The income he got

- from all of us.
- No doubt.

Who'd have thought, with
all Jeanette's nonsense,

her son was actually working
undercover for the FBI?

- Jeanette boy is real?
- Real as you and me.

And you should see him,
girl, good looking.

I mean, Denzel-icious.

Ooh, he that good
looking?

- Mm-hm, smart too.
- Too young for y'all.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd say you a little jealous,
Davis.

And you'd be lying to
yourself.

What I want to know is what's
gonna happen to your shop.

I'm on a fixed income,
so somebody tell me,

where's a fastidious man on a
fixed income

supposed to get a quality $5
haircut?

That's what I thought, crickets.

Jeanette's boy say he's
gonna pull a few strings

and see if he can't find
out what the numbers are

and a few other things to
give us the inside track,

but after that, we gotta
take it from there.

No matter how much it is, it's
gonna

be more than any of us can
afford.

Jeanette wasn't lying
'bout her son, maybe she's

not lying about her lottery
ticket, maybe it's a winner.

And maybe it'll snow tomorrow

and Theona and me get remarried,
huh?

No need to get hostile, Spoon.

I'm just saying what
I'm thinking while I'm

sitting here waiting
for you to cut my hair.

Well, while you sitting there

waiting on me to cut your hair,

why don't you think about
something useful, huh?

Like how we gonna keep our
shops?

'Cause I don't plan on losing
everything

that me and Theona didn't
work so hard to build.

Put our hearts and soul
into everything we got.

Here you go, Olivia, you're
all set.

- Wear it, love it, enjoy it.
- Oh, I most certainly will.

It is beautiful, you're a
genius.

Now, you're sure Shelby
doesn't have this one?

Oh, it's all one of a kind.

Perfect, ah, she's gonna die.

Yo, what's cracking, Rodney?

What are you doing here, Dwayne?

- I'm not buying your CDs.
- Yo, it's Glock-9.

And why ain't you, man, for
reals, Rodney.

Look man, I'm just out
here every day, man,

just trying to hustle to
get my game off the ground,

just like you, all right?

Well look, I just saw you make
some

skrilla off the white lady, man.

Why can't you help a young
struggling black brother

who's just trying to make ends
meet?

You dig?
How much?

$2.99 for one or it's $5 for
three.

- How about one?
- Thank you, yeah.

- It better be good.
- What?

It's gonna be better than good,
man.

- You know G9 can spit, man.
- Yeah.

Hey, you want two,
one for your boyfriend?

My father wanted a son
that was gonna grow up

to be a running back in the NFL.

He used to call me sweet feet,

but his son wanted to grow up to
be

a famous fashion designer
on the runways of Paris.

From then on, he just called me
sweet,

left me for my mom to raise me.

How did you feel at the time?

Actually, abandoned,

hated, responsible.

I felt like maybe there was
something wrong with me.

But there was nothing wrong
with you.

No, I was exactly what I was

supposed to be, what I was made
to be.

And look, if he didn't understand
that, then it's his fault,

- it's his loss, you know?
- I don't know.

Are you just saying the words,

Rodney, or do you really believe
that?

Yeah, because I'm gonna make
it.

- How can you be so sure?
- 'Cause I'm good.

- Yes.
- And my dad

is just gonna have to deal with
the fact

that I'm gonna buy my mom
this beautiful mansion

and he's not allowed in it, so.

What do you know about having

- a boyfriend?
- Nothing.

But, you know, I didn't
think you was liking

- females like that.
- And how you know that?

Well, I mean, whenever
men make things for women,

especially like this, a man's
not gonna be

- liking them like that.
- Oh my goodness, okay,

so, your, your, your small
mindedness is so awesome.

All right, well just know
this, man.

I'm never gonna forget that you
supported me, man, for real.

Even when I'm at the top.

- Oh, oh my goodness.
- I'm ghost.

Hey stop, where'd you get that
money?

- It's mine.
- And I'm

asking you where you got it.

- Selling CDs.
- You got a receipt?

- No, but I ain't done...
- Stay there.

- What's in the bag?
- I ain't done nothing.

That's what all the bad guys
say.

Stay there, don't move.

Hey, hey, hey. stop.
Help.

Hey, stop, hey, stop, stop.

Hey, you quit running right now

or I swear to God, I'll shoot.

What in the world?

Just drop the bag, get on
the ground now, face down.

No, wait, I'll show
you, Glock-9, Glock-9.

Oh my god, what did
you do, what did you do?

Shots fired, request
ambulance

9850 Liberty Street, young
male, Black, suspect down.

I thought he had a gun, why'd he
run?

Because he was afraid
of being shot by a cop.

Davis, go
get some clean towels.

Focus, go get some towels.

I heard a gunshot, what
happened?

- He shot Dwayne.
- Oh my god, oh my god, why?

- For no good reason.
- Why?

No, God, I thought he had a
gun...

He didn't have a gun.

Davis.
The boy's the only

- thing that matters.
- He killed you, baby.

- Can you just hang on?
- I thought he had a gun.

Did you call an
ambulance?

Gonna be a mess all the way
around

if that boy don't pull through.

Papers say cop probably gonna
be

forced to resign, so at
least that's something.

Not gonna be enough if
that boy don't make it.

Theona still at the hospital?

Ain't left his side since last
night.

She's a good woman, Theona.

Don't know what's gonna
happen on these streets

if that boy don't pull through.

Yeah.

Killed right there, walking
around...

Black lives matter.

- How is he?
- Doctor says

he's gonna make it, but I don't
know.

He's in a coma, still fighting.

He'll be alright.

I hope so, I sure hope so.

Why didn't you just go
home and get you some rest?

I canceled all your
customers and closed early.

I didn't feel like being
alone.

Mind if I join you?

- This is your church.
- Hm.

Wonder what God would say about
that.

He put you here, didn't He?

That He did, Mr. Salgado, that
He did.

I hear that you make
a pretty good priest.

Well, I heard you make
a pretty good bartender.

- You busy?
- Hey, Angelica.

- Come on in, have a seat.
- It'll just take a minute.

I wanted to thank you for
what you did for my father.

Oh, no, I just made a phone
call for

- a friend and neighbor.
- You did more than that.

We were treated very well.
Good.

My father's feeling hopeful.

And, if for no other reason,
I thank you for that.

Whatever I can do to help.

No matter how things turn out,

I think it was a good thing you
came here.

- Thank you for saying that.
- Just wanted you to know.

Bye.

What you think, should
we give this a try?

Wait, what, that's it?

That's it?

What, you're just gonna
leave as if we're nothing?

Grant, we were never really
anything.

What are you gonna
do without me, LaTrice?

Oh, everything.

I done that for you already.

Well, you missed a couple
spots.

You were always better
with the broom than a mop

and you're not that great with a
mop.

Guess I am better at making
a mess than cleaning up one.

I just wish that somehow I
knew

that everything was gonna be all
right.

I'll fix it if you
want,

I'll fix it if you want,
I'll fix it if you want.
