- Previously on "The Quad"...
- I've had to take something for a bit of anxiety,
but it doesn't mean I can't cope.
- I'm not gonna be a Sigma Mu Kappa now.
How the hell am I gonna tell my father that?
- You know, Bryce is a good brother
who deserves to be on your line.
- You step up, like real leaders do.
- All I'm saying is that all lives won't matter
until the black ones do.
- You stole my goddamn music!
- Cecil! - I'm gonna get the last laugh.
I don't wanna embarrass Clive Taylor.
I wanna destroy him.
- I wanna be in your band,
and I'm willing to fight for it.
- Eugene, Eugene, Eugene...
How you been, brother?
- All my sisters and brothers
Rise up together
Stand together
Ooh-oh-oh
[tense music]
- I'm all in.
- You ain't all in yet.
Damn.
Full boat: aces over kings.
[sighs]
I just knew your ass was bluffing.
But...
you lose, Eugene.
Royal flush.
[laughs] - Daddy, please...
- Mmm-mmm. - Daddy!
- Eugene! No!
[stirring band music]
- You done?
- Yes, sir. - Good.
Now...
do those.
- Yes, sir. I got it.
[door closes]
[humming]
[soft piano music]
[all grunting, groaning]
[solemn music]
- Yo, we could've died out there, bro,
- Yeah, but we didn't, did we?
- Take a month to get my feet right.
- You'll be fine. We all will.
- I won't.
I'm done.
- What? - Yo, we have no idea
how much longer we have to deal with this bullshit.
I'm out.
- Come on, dog, we almost finished.
- Josh, we close, man. - Jo--
- Yo, Josh, your clothes in the house.
- You can keep 'em.
- I've got cheese and fruit and pastries too
And grits and bacon
And a-this and a-that
- Well, I haven't called Dwight
Plus we have a quarterback
And a-this and a-that
- He just announced to the whole world
that he wanted to come here.
Why haven't you reached out to him?
- Because right after that announcement,
Dwight's father said he would never attend GAMU.
- But we won't know if we have a real shot
until we take a real shot...Coach.
- Mm.
And what about BoJohn?
- Having two top quarterbacks will fill the stadium.
- Which brings in more money. - Exactly.
And all that network money
would help us fight this merger and save your job.
- [exhales sharply]
- Enjoy your breakfast, Coach.
- You still on that Josh kick?
- Well, Big Josh wasn't wrong.
[Rich the Kid's "New Freezer" playing]
Yo, what they did to us was foul, G.
- Josh got weak.
You can't let one night scare you away from the brotherhood.
- What kinda brothers leave you stranded
in the middle of nowhere in your drawers?
- I keep telling you, it's just mind games.
That's all pledging is.
They try to break you individually
to remake you into brothers.
- Nobody's breaking me. - I see that.
You still here, and...
man, thank you.
- You'd do it for me.
- Yeah, I would.
I gotta get to class, bro. - All right, bro.
- Word. - Yeah.
- Hey, what's up, Eb? - What's up, Blue Blood?
- I'm cooling. How you doing? - I'm good.
- [chuckles]
- What's good? - What's good with you?
- So...when we getting back on the resistance song?
- "Rise Up Together"?
Oh, I changed the title. - Oh.
Well, I played the rough for some folks,
and they feeling it, like, a lot.
- No way, for real?
- For real.
- All right, uh, bet. Um, I had a few distractions,
but I--I'm ready to get back on it.
- I don't think Bronwyn would appreciate
being called a distraction. [chuckles]
[solemn music]
- You all right?
- Yeah...
I'm good.
- Good morning, everyone. - Good morning.
- [clears throat] - [sniffles]
- Shall we begin?
After meeting with the Georgia University System,
I believe we still have a chance
to prevent this merger.
- Dr. Fletcher...
trustees have voted to join the G.U.S.
and to merge with Atlanta State University.
- We believe we did what's best.
- Best for whom?
This decision is premature.
I have resources I haven't even tapped yet.
Were we not all in the same meeting?
They don't care about the school.
- This merger will reduce your administrative costs,
and we can combine our STEM programs
and expand the campus for new construction.
- Take a look at page 152, please, paragraph three.
"Admission policy to be determined."
If this were to happen,
our admission policy would be determined by us.
- "To be determined" simply means
that we haven't discussed this item yet.
- We pride ourselves on being a place
where everybody is somebody.
The only way to make sure that remains true
is by selecting our student body.
- We'll take a look at that.
- "We'll take a look at that."
That's what she said when I explained to her
why we must have an autonomous admissions process.
Is that who you want to govern this school?
- Dr. Fletcher, we were not aware of your other resources.
- And we have not seen any evidence of them.
We couldn't take the chance of
being forced to close our doors.
[tense tone]
[solemn music]
- [breathing shakily]
[pill container rattling]
- Ma'am--oh! I'm so sorry, let me get those.
- Chrystal, stop, stop.
[stammers]--I'm fine. It's--it's fine.
Just--just--just leave, please.
- Okay.
- Just hear me out, Brother.
Dwight is one of my best students.
My nephew sat in one of my classrooms
for the past three years,
and now he wants to pay it back by attending GAMU.
- Well, after he attends a Division One school
and gets drafted in the top five,
he'll give back to GAMU by making a generous donation.
- I can't argue with that. - Well, I can.
When Carlton and I started our teaching careers,
we decided that every black child
that sat in our classroom
was going to graduate and become CEO of something.
- Okay.
- I would prep them at high school,
Carlton would finish them at the college level.
Together, we have produced some remarkable alumni.
- [coughing]
- We just want Dwight to be a part of that.
- [coughing]
- You all right, Brother-in-law?
- [grunts]
Yeah--[clears throat]-- probably that, um--
the reflux probably coming back. I'm okay.
- You're not okay,
and you're long overdue for that physical,
and I'm calling, making you an appointment
first thing in the morning.
- Man, just like a woman:
always overreacting.
All the man need is a big ol' dose of castor oil.
- [chuckling]
I'm okay, and I don't need to see a doctor, okay?
- You do need to see the doctor,
because I need you around forever.
- Are you sure about that?
- It's the one thing in this world I am sure of.
- Oh, baby...you win.
- Man, look, man, y'all are way too lovey-dovey
for two old farts who've been together for over 30 years.
- [chuckling] - I'm saying.
[phone chiming]
- I'll go. - Oh...
[groans] It's one of my parents.
- Mm-hmm.
[R&B music playing over radio]
Let's talk.
- Man, I'm all talked out.
- I'll do the talking, and you do the listening.
Now... - What up?
- Now, Dwight says he wants to go to GAMU,
and I think maybe you should consider
what he wants.
It can't hurt.
- Oh, it can hurt.
It's going to hurt that wallet.
Now, no offense,
but GAMU ain't exactly known for
producing Heisman Trophy winners.
- Everything isn't about money.
- Bruh, it's all about the money.
I gave up everything to be here with my son.
He was born a preemie.
Doc said he wasn't gonna make it.
You remember when he was six years old
and started playing football? - Yes.
- Man, I came off the road,
I stopped driving trucks when I saw how good he was.
Been getting him to this moment his whole life,
and it's exactly where he wants to be.
- You know, with love, bro,
I'm calling bullshit.
Dwight is talented,
but this is about your dreams, not his.
You played football, but you quit growing.
Suddenly, your promising career wasn't so promising anymore.
- I don't need you to get this.
I'm the only one that's gotta understand what I'm thinking.
Tell my sister thanks for the meal,
and keep your funky-ass drink.
[Whodini's "Freaks Come Out at Night" playing]
[knocking on door]
- Hey. - I need to use your computer.
My new one's still being built.
- Who builds a computer?
And why you can't use a regular laptop like everyone else?
- Do you know how easy it is to hack a hard drive
that doesn't have the proper firewalls?
They can find your bank info, health status,
even who you're sleeping with.
[keyboard clacking]
- And I always had to be home by 10:00
- Excuse me.
I'm just gonna cover this camera.
So, what's with you and Diamond?
I saw him here the other day.
- What's that got to do with me?
- You're really gonna try and play me like that?
I know he was looking for you.
- He needed my uniform.
I never turned it in.
Guess I was having a hard time
getting over not being in his band.
- After what Diamond did to you,
and what he did to me,
why the hell you still down with that man?
- It's what I want. It's always what I've wanted.
- No...you wanted to play,
and whatever he's got you doing for Clive Taylor,
it ain't part of that.
- You're really on one today, Eb.
- [chuckles]
I saw Clive on your screen, Noni,
and I know your class schedule.
You have Calculus this hour.
There's only one reason you'd skip it.
So, you can lie to me all you want,
but don't lie to yourself.
Diamond is the devil,
and if you're doing his dirty work,
what does that make you?
[solemn music]
[indistinct chatter]
Why am I getting funeral vibes from all the trustees?
- Yeah, special announcement my ass.
This feels more like a eulogy. - Good afternoon.
As you all know,
Georgia A&M is tradition,
pride, excellence.
That's who we are.
That will never change.
But to keep our doors open,
we will become part of the George University System
by merging with Atlanta State University.
[students clamoring] - Really?
- Come on, man, that's some bullshit!
- Hey, y'all can't do that!
[all booing]
[tense music]
- I know some of you are upset.
- Why'd Dr. Fletcher ask for our support
if she was gonna do this anyway?
- Look at her.
Does she look like she has any power to you?
- Please bear with us
as we enter this new chapter
in our great university's history.
[all boing]
- Sit down!
- Frat, I know what's on your mind.
Heavy on mine too.
- I will continue to fight to protect our legacy.
My soul cannot be bought.
- Neither can mine,
but I think we need to see how this plays out.
Besides, I got my eyes on a bigger prize.
Can you believe that son of a bitch, Clive Taylor,
had the nerve to admit to my face
that he stole my music?
- Wait, brother, what?
- I swear on everything I have,
have had, and will have,
Clive won the Battle of the Bands
with my original music.
- Clive is ambitious,
but I didn't know he was lowdown.
- I'm not gonan lie to you, I just don't get it.
Young brother's talented.
Now, why would he do something like that?
- Because the young brother ain't so talented.
Now, look, I know I've had my medical issues,
had to stay focused on my health,
but I weathered that storm.
First thing on my plate, outing that bastard.
- Well, this day has been one for the books,
You have the board selling us out
and Clive being a shameless thief.
- The merger is a done deal,
but my business with Clive is far from over.
He tried to destroy me... but he failed.
Took his best shot,
but if you aim at me,
you better not miss.
- I'll drink to that.
- Interesting.
I never pegged you as the type.
- Eh, trust me, you don't survive
too many under-500 seasons without a little self-soothing.
- Thank you.
- Listen...I hate this as much as you do,
but perhaps we need the 50,000-foot view
instead of the close-up.
Screw tradition.
This is your chance to make history.
- As the President who let the school founded by freed slaves
be taken by their white overlords.
- Or the opposite.
You know, you've been on the defense so much.
Now you can play offense.
With this new influx of cash,
you can lead this school to its full potential.
No more robbing Peter to pay Paul.
- [chuckles] - You'll get a clean slate.
- This was my clean slate.
[somber piano music]
This was my Everest,
and they cut me down before I could reach the peak.
I have been to hell and back for this school,
and it wasn't enough.
Nothing I do is ever enough.
[phone buzzing]
The girls? - No, my wife.
I have to go.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[sirens wailing]
[tense music]
- Eugene! - Hey, hey, hey.
[both breathing heavily]
You okay? We'll--we'll get you checked out.
- What happened? - Working late, driving home,
and out of nowhere, this--this truck,
it--it just rammed right into me.
- [sighs, mutters]
- It was him. - What?
- I saw his face. - Whose face?
[phone buzzing, chiming]
- Hello?
- Was that you I just ran off the road?
- It's Ramil.
- Hey, you son of a bitch,
I just paid you half your money.
How do you expect to get the other half if we're dead?
- You bet...you lose...
you pay, one way or the other.
- Hey... - [whimpers]
- Come here. - [sobbing]
- It's okay. It's okay.
- Well now, you are throwing down, Big Poppa.
What's the occasion? - The occasion is...
the Symphony in Black's Southern Region
band competition is coming up.
Consider this my condolences.
[laughter] - Hey, hey, hey!
You know, I heard you was over here
preaching your bullshit.
Cecil Diamond gets his ass handed to him,
and blames everybody but himself.
[laughs, sighs]
[blues rock music playing]
- The only blame goes to the chump in front of me.
You were a B-musician when you were in my band.
You're a C-music director now. - You know what, I got your C--
- No, no, no, no, no, this--this has to stop.
Now, I'm all for competitive rivalry,
but you two are behaving like street kids.
And I'm sure no invitation came your way
for this gathering, Director Taylor.
- Oh, so now I need an invitation
to be amongst friends?
- Everybody here ain't your friend.
- Okay, that is enough out of you, Mr. Yesterday's News.
So damn self-righteous,
like you ain't never done nothing wrong,
like you didn't do what you did to me.
- So, you the victim now? You the goddamn victim now?
- Yo, check this out.
This is a--a gift from his prized pupil.
Now, she's trying to get away from him so bad,
she's in my campus cleaning instruments,
so she can transfer to my school and play in my band.
- So, now you stealing my leftovers too?
- No, no, easy. Go easy on the students, Frat.
- This is on him.
- Good evening, gentlemen.
- Ah, hello, beautiful. - Mmm.
- What a nice surprise. - Thank you, Nelson.
I just came to pick up my man,
and it looks like I arrived right in the middle of it.
- Oh, but the end is near.
Good evening, ma'am. - Good evening.
- Hey, sexy lady. Come here often?
- Oh, I used to,
till old men started hitting on me.
[laughter]
- Yeah, and on that note, we gonna blow this joint.
- Mm-hmm. - Wife's taking me to see
Frankie Beverly and Maze. - Yes.
- Yes. - Oh, come on with that now.
- Mmm...good night.
- Soon, it's gonna be okay. - Have a good time now.
- Married up. - Mm.
[hip-hop music playing over headphones]
- Uh! Tell me what you want from me
I raise my hands, protest
Kneel down on knee
But y'all harass with your badges
And get off free
Please tell me how that's fair to me
Why y'all hate on me?
The government, they don't care about me
Because I'm black and I'm young
And I rock hoodies?
Uh!
Won't you rise with me?
- What's wrong? - Uh, the reverb's flat.
I mean, no matter what I do, it's just--
the knock's not right.
- You were feeling it last week.
- [scoffs] Yeah, that was before I sent it to
my engineer in the Chi.
He was just straight clowning the quality.
He said every time that you-- you solo out the vocals,
you can hear, like, students in the background.
- Let me hear it. - Let's head back into it.
Uh! Tell me what you want from me
I raise my hands, protest
Yeah.
[sighs] Look...
I'm for real, E.
If we gonna take this to the next level,
then we gotta up our game.
I'm talking a--a-- a real studio,
you know what I'm saying,
with acoustics and a real engineer,
you know--you feel me?
- Mm-kay.
While we at it,
what do you think about an R&B kinda hook?
I mean, this beat is kinda asking for it.
No, just-- look, something like--
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh
- No, no, not if it's sounding like that.
- First of all, I was just demonstrating.
But seriously, I mean, they're gotta be
at least one or two Beyonc?s
in the middle of all these Cardi B wannabes on campus.
- All right, um, you look, I'll look,
uh, see what we come up with.
- Cool.
- You and your people have worked wonders
in keeping the school afloat.
That type of resolve should be commended.
[door closes]
- [scoffs]
I appreciate the sentiment,
but we are here to discuss
the details of the merger, now that it's done.
- Up first,
consolidation has to be across the board:
academics, athletics, even the support workers.
- I don't plan to let go of any of my staff.
- I hope you'll hear this
in the spirit in which it is meant.
Quentin Marlboro is a white guy from Boise.
He knows next to nothing about running a black college,
so he gave oversight of Georgia A&M
to the most skilled educator in our ranks:
Me.
So, please, try to sound a little more collaborative.
- We were promised independence.
- And you'll have it, over the day-to-day operations.
However, as the satellite campus of ASU,
all major calls will be made by me.
[soft piano music]
- I think we both agree,
given the current political climate,
that HBCU's are more important than ever.
- And who better to guide it back to financial security
and cultural significance than an HBCU grad?
- Is that rhetorical?
- Take a look at this agenda...
shall we?
- Let's.
- The Hutchins-Townsend Honey Badgers.
Tiny school from West Texas. Ever heard of 'em?
- I played for presidents, royalty,
and everything in between.
That Podunk school wouldn't even cross my radar.
[stirring band music playing]
- Clive Taylor published this in 2016...
But the video of the band playing is from 2012.
- They played it four years
before he claimed he created it?
- Yes, sir.
- So, I'm just one of a long...
line of Clive's victims?
How the hell is he getting away with this?
- These teams have barely enough students
to even qualify for competitions.
Even if school is new,
I don't think they even have the resources
to hire lawyers to fight back.
- No good snake.
- This is a mix of Clive's originals,
along with performance tracks
from the marching bands he stole from.
[solemn music]
- The knife we need to skin the snake.
- Then my assignment is complete...
For you.
Today, my best friend asked me
why I keep trying to get into your band,
and for the first time ever, I didn't have a good answer.
- You proved that Clive was
nothing more than a con artist.
Others will be better off because of what you uncovered.
- I'll try to find some solace in that.
[backpack zips]
I broke several laws just trying to please you.
I'm way too smart to be acting so dumb.
[door opens, closes]
[hip-hop music]
- Is this a bad time? - Uh, excuse the mess.
I'm just gathering some papers before I head to the bank.
- I could really use some good news.
[exhales] So, where are we?
Dwight Jenkins.
You promised you'd reach out. Did you forget?
- [groans]
I've been distracted, but first thing in the morning, I swear.
- That is not good enough!
This merger is happening,
and we all have to be perfect
if we wanna keep Chambers off our asses.
[sighs]
- Do you know the name of the most undefeated player
in NFL history?
- I have no idea.
- It's Joe Montana, Niners QB.
Now, a lot of folks were convinced
that if there had been more seconds added to the clock,
or another quarter,
he'd have found a way to pull out a win.
And when you look at it like that,
he's never lost a game.
Just ran out of time.
- Do you believe that?
- I believe in you.
You didn't lose, Eva.
You just ran out of time.
- Thank you, Coach.
I appreciate that.
[classical piano music playing]
- You back for round three? - No...
but if I were, I'd win that one too.
Curiosity brought me. Can't help myself.
I just have to know, what on earth do you think I did
to merit what you did to me?
Is this all because you weren't good enough for first chair?
- Famed band directors and musicians,
they credit you for their success, but...
what happens to the ones who fall through the cracks?
Who takes the blame for them?
- I have a responsibility
to maintain a standard of excellence.
Your mediocrity is not on my conscience.
- I was hurt.
- A bruised ego does not qualify as an excuse.
- What about the blunt force trauma that I suffered
when your band knocked me out?
Hm?
I was hazed, but I returned, all because I dreamed of
playing for the great Cecil Diamond.
I got one, and only one, audition for first chair.
I had just gotten back. I was barely even healed.
I bled for you,
and you couldn't even give me a fighting chance.
- I swear, Clive, I had no idea.
- It must've been a selective memory.
I begged you not to hold that audition against me,
but you said that if I couldn't suck it up,
it was my problem and not yours.
Looks like it's your problem now.
[chuckles softly]
- As you know, Mr. Hardwick,
the 529 is a tax-free savings plan
reserved for higher education expenses.
Uh, the beneficiaries here, Courtney and Jade Hardwick,
are they even of college age?
- No, no, they're not, no.
This, uh, withdrawal would be non-qualified.
- All the earnings accrued over the past 12 years
will now be subject to federal and state income taxes,
not to mention the 10% IRS penalty.
Are you sure about this?
- Look, this is already hard, so please, um,
before I change my mind. - Of course.
[keyboard clacking]
[screen chirping]
Our records show your account has been closed.
- What? Are you sure? I-- I need you to check that again.
- I--I've tripled-checked. - No, please, check it again.
[printer beeps, buzzing]
[solemn music]
- Your wife withdrew all funds
and closed your account two months ago.
[engine humming]
- Bet I can draw better than you.
- I bet you can't. [giggles]
- Hey, um, why don't you guys
go grab a snack from the kitchen?
Dad will be with you in a bit, okay?
- Okay, Daddy.
- What do you want, Courtney? - Let's get a drink.
- Okay. What to get...
- You gambled away our girls' college fund?
- I got a plan, okay?
Look, I'ma get us out of this, baby, I promise.
If I'm gone,
then he'll leave you and the girls alone
and I can just go.
- This psycho knows our daughters' schools.
- Yeah, well, I'll call him; I'll talk to him;
I'll do whatever it is that he wants me to do!
- You know I can't let you do that!
- Okay, well, do you have any other ideas, Eugene?
[groans sharply]
[sobs]
- Hey.
Come here.
Come here.
[exhales deeply]
- Why the hell they got us sitting here barefoot?
- Probably for some more of that bullshit.
- Lights!
all: Yes, Big Brother Miles Ahead!
- You guys had a tough one,
I'm not gonna lie to you,
but tonight, we're turning it up a notch.
Now, because of the severity of this next...
special session,
I'm allowing you to opt out, no questions asked.
So, what will it be?
Bryce For Impact?
Heavy Flow...
You in...or you out?
- I'm in.
- All right.
Follow me.
[door opens]
Lights, move into the circle.
[gentle guitar music]
- This is it. We're about to cross.
- You sure? Feels like we finna be sacrificed, bro.
- We hold this ceremony to be sacred.
- Induction into Sigma Mu Kappa Fraternity, Incorporated
is an honor and a privilege not to be entered into lightly.
- As Chapter Advisor, I officially announce
the commencement of new Flames into our beloved brotherhood.
- Once you all cross the burning sands,
take the oath, and are pinned,
you are officially members of our great fraternity.
- From this night forward...
Until you are no longer of this earth,
you will be men of Sigma Mu Kappa.
- Many desire membership in Sigma Mu Kappa.
Very few are chosen.
You represent the chosen few.
- Now, raise your right hand and repeat after me:
I pledge to uphold the duties...
all: I pledge to uphold the duties, dignity,
and principals of Sigma Mu Kappa Fraternity, Incorporated.
I will strive to serve my community,
my country, my family,
and work for the greater good of all people.
Congratulations.
You're all now members of the Sigma Mu Kappa Fraternity.
- Congrats, little bro.
- [chuckles] Thanks, bro.
- You made it. - Yep. [clears throat]
I'm proud of you, Son.
[both chuckle]
- Thanks, Dad.
Big bruh? - Mm-hmm.
Come here, you spilled something.
- Ah, get out of here, man.
[both chuckle]
- Well, you made it.
- Nah, bruh, we made it.
- [distressed breathing]
[sighs shakily]
[sobs softly]
[indistinct chatter]
- Brother Van Jones will now speak.
- Well, thank you, Brother Carlton.
And on behalf of the great
Sigma Mu Kappa Fraternity Incorporated,
I wanna welcome all of you to this brotherhood.
Now, on this very spot in 1913,
five extraordinary young men came together
to form the Beta Nu Chapter of our great fraternity.
Can I get a boom, boom, boom? all: Boom, boom, boom!
- Yeah. These young men, these brothers,
were so extraordinary, 'cause they were men of honor.
They were men of courage, you see?
They had to go up against the odds,
but they created a pathway of light and hope
for the future generations to come through.
Now, look, I don't want anybody to get it twisted.
In this fraternity,
we know how to get our party on, am I right?
- Oh, you know how we do. We get it on!
- Don't get it messed up.
But that said,
we're still committed to something.
We're committed to serving our community,
committed to serving our country.
That's who we are.
That's what our motto is. What's our motto?
all: Service, commitment, excellence!
- Now, see, that's the truth.
You can feel it. That's the truth.
Now, see, in this age of fake news,
it's easy to fall into deception,
but in this fraternity, we stand for the truth,
we fight for the truth,
'cause we know in the end, the truth will always win.
So, welcome, brothers. Welcome, welcome.
[all applaud] - Yeah! That's what's good!
- Boom, boom, boom!
all: Boom, boom, boom!
[door creaks]
[suspenseful music]
- Daddy?
[footsteps approaching]
[music darkens]
[gun cocks] - Wake up, asshole.
- Eugene!
[tense music]
- You can do whatever you want to me,
but don't touch my family.
- Please, please. Oh, my baby's staying in the other room--
- I ain't gotta hurt nobody here,
as long as y'all two got my money.
Y'all got my money?
- Daddy?
- I told you! Don't come at my family!
- Eugene!
- [grunting] Go to the kids! Go!
- Daddy? - I'm coming! Mommy's coming!
[both grunting]
- I want my money. - I'ma kill you.
[gunshot]
- Next time on "The Quad"...
- Yo, look, I just got studio time to record my music,
and it's not gonna be what it could be
if I don't get a dope singer for the hook.
- I didn't know you were down with PDA.
- So, what, you cheated on me with Ebonie?
- Look, you and I aren't together.
- I don't see Noni anywhere.
- So, who's the mystery man?
- You should maybe focus on the bigger issue.
- I am done taking those pills.
Finally got it under control.
