But I'm excited about the future.

Yeah,�me�too.

Why�I�gotta�drive?

'Cause I'm trying to get my money's worth.

[Tiff] Oh, Lord. I hope I ain't gotta hear

You will absolutely hear my mouth.

[laughs]

[door�creaks]

[keys�rattling]

[door�latch�clicks]

Hey,�what's�up,�baby?

- Hey. - [door clicks closed]

Our first housewarming is tomorrow.

Mm,�I�ain't�see�him�since�prom.

Yeah,�it's�been�a�minute.

Um, shit got crazy after Smokey's opened up.

Mm-hmm. I invited Malaysia.

Oh, I ain't heard her name in a while.

What's the point of placing a large order in advance

if it still ain't gonna be ready when we get here?

Um, your order is not in our database.

Do�you�have�your�receipt?

The woman who took my order over the phone

said she was gonna text me confirmation.

Did�you�not�get�your�text?

[voice raising] Do it look like I got a text?

Sir, please use your inside voice.

I�wanna�talk�to�a�manager.

That's�me.

Somebody put the wrong pickup date on here.

I'll have the kitchen put a rush on it

and�for�your�inconvenience,

I'll�throw�in�two�extra�sides.

What'chu�want?

I'ma�do�an�extra�side�of�greens

and�a�apple�pie.

I said "two sides." The apple pie is considered

a�dessert.

Fine.

I'll do the greens and spaghetti.

Sweet�or�savory?

I'ma�go�with�the�sweet.

Good�choice...

and I'll throw in the apple pie for free

if you apologize to my colleague.

I�apologize.

You can grab a seat, and Kenya will be out with your order

- in a second. - Thank you.

Well,�look�at�you.

[Kenya]�I'm�impressed.

Oh, I deal with disgruntled customers all day.

Ain't no such thing as "just a lookout."

Eventually, they gonna tell him to do more than that.

Like�what?

Like,�first,

they gonna ask him to hold something,

then they'll tell him he'll make more money off the top

if he get somebody else to do it.

Now, if that somebody else don't follow instructions,

which�is�blood�on�his�hands.

That's�your�story,�not�his.

Lynae...

I know so many women in the pen doing time

behind a nigga don't give no fuck about them.

I�ain't�doing�time�for�nobody.

Nice�meeting�you,�though.

Hey, uh, it's kind of crowded up in here, man.

Look�like�the�only�seat...

[Marshawn]�May�as�well.

[sighs]

You�do�the�challenge?

Shit, man, I was locked away in the pen for 20 years.

That shit was challenging enough, you dig?

Damn,�I�feel�you.

Hey, I did read your book, though.

- Hmm. - Yeah, The Ten Ways to Level Up

for a Real Queen and How She Can Earn the Keys

- to Your Kingdom. - Yeah, the title kind of long,

- I know. - That shit perfect, yo.

Mm. So you got a woman?

Indeed,�I�do.

She�the�breadwinner?

Yeah, that's only because it's kind of hard

for�me�to�get�a�gig�right�now.

Hey, I ain't no bum nigga, though.

Do you think you gotta explain to me?

You�do�not,�my�brother.

You understand? Look.

We have been taking care of women forever.

These�are�reparations�now.

Huh, never thought of it like that.

Chapter nine, my nigga. [chuckles]

I�ain't�made�it�that�far�yet.

[Marshawn]�What�your�girl�do?

Oh, she's a art curator for a art gallery downtown.

Fancy.

I know. She real chill, though.

She�cool.

She lets you smoke in the house?

Hell naw. Gotta take that shit outside.

Mm, that don't sound chill to me.

No,�it�don't.

Damn, I gotta get out of here, man.

Gotta�go�to�nigga�housewarming.

Ah, shit, I'm going to a housewarming too.

Emmett's�shit?

Hell�yeah,�that's�my�nigga.

I thought he invited me on accident,

but I'm still riding through there, you know?

Might be a couple baddies in there for me.

Shit, you wanna slide through there together?

You�driving?

I got my lady car and shit, so you know.

Good�man,�I�like�it.

Let's go. Come on.

Think they gonna have food there?

Gonna have food? If you wanna take a wing,

- nigga, come on. - Aw, shit, I can eat

- in your girl car? - Man, it's cool, come on.

Mm, Kiesha need to package this cheese dip and sell it.

You�ain't�lying...

and I don't even eat dairy like that.

[laughter]

I'm�Deondray.

I'm the one that sold Emmett and Kiesha the house.

Oh, hey. I'm Emmett's mom, Jada.

It's�lovely�to�meet�you.

You're�a�realtor?

- Yeah. - Huh.

Do�I�not�look�like�one?

I'm used to realtors wearing suits and ties,

flashing�they�cheesy�smiles.

I get it, but I swear I do well for myself.

A lot of my clients look like me,

and�we�speak�the�same�language.

I�like�that.

I still wanna know why you sold my son a house

all the way over here on the West Side.

Come on. The West Side is great,

and�I�love�living�over�here.

It's�a�drive.

[Deondray]�It�ain't�that�bad.

I think it's important we buy up real estate

in�our�own�neighborhoods.

You should just want people to buy real estate period.

That's�how�you�make�your�money.

The money's nice, but I'm a big believer

in Black folks owning their own homes.

Buying a house in a Black neighborhood

isn't just an investment for that family.

It's a contribution to the community.

And when people buy a house from me,

they're not just investing in me.

They're investing into my mission, my purpose, as well.

Mm.

Are�you�single?

[chuckles]�Naw.

I'm�off�the�market.

Damn.

[Nina]�It's�an�air�fryer.

Yeah,�this�baby�has�two�baskets

and�dual�temperature�controls,

so you can make two things at the same time.

- Thank y'all. - [Dre] Yeah.

[chuckles]

[Dre]�Oh,�hell�naw.

Now, I know this nigga did not just come in here

dressed in designer head-to-toe,

and�he�still�owes�me�money.

- Let it go, Dre. - Nah.

I'll�be�right�back.

Hey,�cuz.

Hey, hey. Hey, cuz.

[both�chuckle]

So...

you�still�good�with�all�this?

Emmett�or�the�house�or�what?

[Nina]�Both.

[Kiesha]�Yeah.

I�feel�good�about�it.

Well, just keep in mind, you're raising kids now,

three of which aren't even yours.

I�know.

[Nina] And buying a house is a big commitment,

especially when you're buying it

with someone you're not married to.

I�know.

[indistinct�chatter]

What�if�you�two�separate?

Even Judge Judy won't hear you if you're not married.

I'm not going on Judge Judy.

[Nina]�You�say�that�now.

Ma,�please.

I just want what's best for you, Kiesha.

I�know.

Okay.

If�you're�happy,�I'm�happy.

I'm�happy.

If�you�say�so.

Damn.

Y'all�good?

I guess they don't need me anymore.

- [Dre] Now, that's not true. - Kevin just waved at me

from�across�the�room.

Yeah, bae, 'cause he's with his friends.

Kiesha�bought�this�house

without even consulting me first.

I can't believe she would do something like that

without�even�talking�to�me.

Honey, your kids are always gonna need you.

They just gonna need you in a different way.

- Dre... - You gotta learn

- to accept that. - Don't therapize me.

Bae, I'm just trying to tell you the truth.

Well,�I�wish�you�wouldn't.

Come�on,�now.

Come dance with me. Come on, come on, come on.

Don't�be�a�Debbie�Downer.

Get yo' ass out there. Come on.

[Maisha�clears�her�throat]

? Numb in the brain, ? ? she thinking... ?

What? I ain't had a home-cooked meal

in�a�minute,�a'ight?

Then you need to learn how to cook.

I�know�how�to�cook.

What�can�you�cook?

Uh,�eggs... and�bacon.

So can my seven-year-old sister.

Why�are�you�not�eating?

I went to Smokey's with Jamal earlier.

Oh,�how'd�that�go?

Good.

He just keep bugging me about Bakari.

They are just alike, so they'll probably get along.

[sighs] Jamal just think

street�niggas�ain't�shit.

Mm,�he�would�know.

[hip-hop music playing on stereo]

[Emmett]�Thanks�for�coming.

Oh, my God. I wouldn't miss it.

[Douda]�Naw.

It's a little deadlier than that.

[Emmett] Okay. Yeah, I'll put this in

- with the rest of the gifts. - No, no, I think

you�should�open�this�privately.

Okay, well, I'll just get to it a little later...

No,�no.

Open�it�now.

[Emmett] All right, I'll open it.

- I mean, it's nice... - Wait, just...

Where are the drinks? It's a party.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, there's drinks in here, yo.

? Soaring,�soaring ?

? Family�ties�is�important ?

You�can't�smoke�that�in�here.

Damn, Kiesha, it's cold as fuck outside.

No, every man should be able to protect their family.

I�got�my�kids�in�here.

[Douda] Yeah, exactly, and if someone comes in here

to hurt you, they may not always come for you first.

Who�would�wanna�hurt�my�family?

[Douda]�Who�knows?

- I don't like this. - [Douda] Yeah.

I�don't�like�it�either,�Emmett.

But you know what? It comes with the territory.

I�don't�want�it.

[laughs]

Emmett, you can't just start dressing like a boss.

You have to start acting like one too.

Bosses�got�guns?

I�never�leave�home�without�it.

Man, don't drag him in your bullshit.

[Kiesha]�Thank�you.

Yeah,�where'd�you�get�it?

Shaad's�girl�is�a�curator,

so we got it from her gallery a few months ago.

You know, I've really wanted to start a art collection,

but I don't know if we have the money for it.

Oh, no, you should just talk to Deja.

I'm sure she can help you figure it out.

Girl, not all art is a million dollars.

I�used�to�think�that.

Girl, you did such a great job with the place.

- Thank you. - [Fatima] Yes.

Are�you�into�interior�design?

- Girl, I'm obsessed. - Okay.

[laughter]

But I do spend most of my time window shopping

'cause I don't really have the money.

[Kiesha] Emmett gave me a little budget,

but I feel you. Everything is expensive

or�imported�from�somewhere.

[Fatima] Now, I do know a place: great rugs,

look like they've been imported.

Girl, lady on the South Side makes them in her basement.

- Not in her basement. - [Fatima laughs] Yes,

and�every�time�I�go�thrifting,

I always find these beautiful lamps.

Mm! You never see them anywhere else.

- Now, that's a good idea. - Mm.

I may have to go with you next time.

- Girl, I would love that. - [Kiesha] Okay.

[Fatima] What's your schedule like? Oh.

[Kiesha] Well, we gonna make it work.

[Fatima]�Okay.

? Got me asking for your love ?

? Ooh, I got a surprise for you ?

? And�it's�burning�up... ?

You�got�any�kids?

Damn,�uh,�none�that�I�know�of.

You�want�any?

Not�right�now.

- Job? - I'm a personal trainer.

Ooh,�who�you�train?

Well, I'm still in the process of booking my first client.

Single?

Uh, define "single."

Are�you�seeing�anyone?

Not�really.

Well, my friend Tracy might be on the market.

But�she�over�the�bullshit.

What�does�that�even�mean?

She's�on,�um,

a�single�journey.

But I think if she find the right guy,

she�might�change�her�mind.

I'm actually on a single journey as well.

- You are? - Yeah.

I have some work to do on myself, so I'm committed

to�me�right�now.

That's�the�same�thing�she�said.

[Darnell]�Hey,�hey.

- Sorry, man. - What?

Why you harassing all the men at the party?

I'm�not�harassing�nobody.

[Darnell] If Tracy wanna be alone,

let�her�ass�be�alone.

I�just�want�her�to�be�happy.

Well,�who�says�she�ain't?

[R&B�music]

[Kiesha�gasps]

Damn,�Nuck,�you�scared�me.

I�wasn't�trying�to�scare�you.

Well, you did. The bathroom's across the hall.

Wasn't looking for the bathroom, Kiesh.

I�was�looking�for�you.

I'm�right�here.

I just wanted to say I was sorry.

If I just would've picked you up that night,

none of this shit would've happened.

You would've never got kidnapped.

I�think�about�it�all�the�time.

What took you so long to say something?

To be honest, I didn't know what to say,

and I also figured that you didn't wanna talk to me,

didn't�wanna�look�at�me.

I'm�looking�at�you�right�now.

I can never forgive myself for that shit.

I�forgive�you.

[Emmett]�Kiesha.

Can you make some more cheese dip?

We�ran�out.

Yeah.

[Upbeat�music]

[Darnell�laughs]

Man, I don't care what nobody else say.

- [Marshawn] Mm-hmm. - [Darnell] Fake titties

ain't got nothing on the real thing.

They gotta feel like flesh for me to get undressed.

- Tell you that. - Okay.

Hey,�I�know�one�thing:

I sure do miss my lady's titties right about now.

[Darnell laughs] Yeah, where she at?

She out of town, away on business.

Shaad, you know you my dog, man.

I just... I hope she ain't away fucking nobody else.

Come on, Darnell, now, you know she don't get down like that.

- [Darnell] A'ight. - [Marshawn] I trust

- none of these hos. - Hey, hey, hey.

Okay,�she�away�on�business.

[laughter] Business, business, business,

- business, business... - [Darnell] Ah, focus!

Hey,�man,�lay�off,�man.

Man,�you�see�what�you�gotta�do?

You�gotta�find�the�right�woman.

Nah, not me, man. I like love to be in multiples.

- [Darnell] Ah. - That way, I never

get�my�heart�broken.

And�if�someone�does�break�it,

someone�there�to�fix�it.

[Shaad] You know what? I ain't mad at that.

Rather have a broken heart than be a broke-ass nigga.

[Darnell] Yeah, you do need that job.

[scoffs] You know they ain't finna hire

no�ex-cons�right�about�now.

Whoa, I mean, chill. I mean, Smokey's...

Shit,�hell�naw,�naw.

I�need�some�real�money.

What�you�trying�to�say?

What you trying to say? Smokey's ain't real money?

What kind of real money are we talking about?

See, that's that woman applying that pressure,

making you believe you need a job

that�you�can't�get�right�now.

You ain't mentally prepared for no regular job right now.

You�still�relaxin',�man.

They want too much out of men nowadays.

I�mean,�he�right.

See, I mean, we can be homemakers too.

All you gotta do is wash a little dishes...

Break that back out. You gon' be all right.

[Shaad]�Oh,�oh,�we�okay.

- That's right. - [laughter]

Oh,�man,�I�can't�see�that.

I don't see myself settling down with just one woman.

I just can't... settling down makes me unsettled.

Yeah,�she�out�there.

Well,�tell�her�come�find�me.

I be at the strip club with some other hos.

[laughter]

Tell her bring some singles. We're gonna need a ride home,

I'm the only one that think that's not funny?

My�bad,�Kiesh,�for�real.

Kiesha,�kids�curse.

We�cursed.

What's�the�big�deal?

[Emmett] Honestly, I ain't trippin', you know,

when�he�in�school.

So it's okay for you to curse but not him?

He's�five.

He�don't�know�what�he�saying.

He said he learned it from y'all.

He�said�what?

[Kiesha]�He�said�he�learned�it

while�riding�in�your�car.

[Tiff] Oh, we listen to rap music all the time.

He probably heard some rapper say it.

Maybe listen to the edited version.

Excuse�me?

[Kiesha] It's just a suggestion.

Well, keep your suggestions to yourself.

Hold up, hold up. We just want EJ's rules

to�be�the�same�in�both�houses,

so, you know, he don't get confused.

Well, you do what you want in your house.

It's�like

we can't relate to each other no more.

Mm. Who knew moving up in the world

I�guess�everybody�can't�go.

So...

Nothing.

He�tryna�get�back�with�you?

No.

Oh, nothing, he just gave me some cigars.

You�don't�smoke�cigars.

- I do. - Since when?

Since,�like,�a�week�ago.

So it was a gift for you, not for us?

It's a gift for the whole family.

Cigars?

Yeah.

[Kiesha�chuckles]

Oh,�shit!
