A New Kind of Woman (2021) Movie Script
1
Mm, you know you're
the baddest thing
I done seen in this club, right?
What's your name?
Candy.
Mm, Candy, okay.
So, that means I
haven't tipped enough
to get the real name.
Oh, honey.
No.
Okay, all right, all right.
Well, how much is VIP?
250 a half hour.
Well, I just got paid, so.
Mm, let's go.
Uh-uh.
Oh, okay.
So I haven't paid
enough to touch yet.
No.
All right well,
why don't we just talk?
Talk, okay, okay.
We can do that.
I mean, you know the clock
is still ticking though.
I know, I get it, I get it.
This might help.
Yeah, thank you.
So what's your name?
Todd.
Mm-hm.
What's your name?
Your real name this time.
Glenda.
Nice to meet you, Glenda.
Mm.
Damn, your body is crazy.
Well, thank you.
You know,
I do work out four times a week
so it better be.
And you know,
these nightly workouts.
Right, right,
I get it, I get it.
This place could
definitely be a workout.
So, I'm trying to
figure something out.
What makes a girl like
you get into this life?
I'm just curious.
You sure do ask a
lot of questions.
Well, I am a paying customer.
Except the clock is
still ticking, so,
a brother can't ask
a few questions?
Oh, take a wild guess.
But see that's obvious,
that's the obvious answer.
I get it, money.
See, I'm thinking
deeper than that.
I think.
No, no, let me figure this out.
Heart break?
Oh God, man I'm supposed
to be the therapist,
not you okay.
I'm not a therapist
but I am a mechanic.
So that means I like
to get under the hood
and see what makes things tick.
So you like to get
under the hood, you say.
Mm-hm.
I mean, is it on the table?
Or I didn't pay enough yet?
Well, take a wild guess.
Mm.
So, am I right?
Is it heart break?
Well, uh, one heart break
wouldn't have me here.
Let's try many.
You know if you were
with me, I don't think
you woulda had that problem.
Oh, that's a new one.
Like I haven't heard
that 20 times a day.
Maybe 21 is the charm.
Well, all we have is
the here and now, right?
Mm-hm.
So let's enjoy it.
I can do that.
Mm?
Yeah.
And you never know.
You might get to see what's
under the hood one day.
Shit, I hope so.
'Cause I would love to get
to know you outside the club.
Yeah, maybe.
Oh, heaven.
Hey.
Hey.
Okay.
Mm-hm.
Ah.
Mm-hm.
Happy?
I'm happy.
Okay, now remind me
again why we're doing this
'cause it was very last minute.
Oh, because it's
important to me, babe.
Remember, it's important.
It's important to you?
Yes.
Okay, well that thing
that's important to you
will be here soon,
so you go get dressed.
I got this.
Then, well.
I got this.
It's all done.
No, almost.
I still have to take the
chicken out of the oven.
I could take it out and
put it in the warmer
but potatoes need, they
need a half hour more.
Babe, I got this.
I'm a doctor.
Go get dressed,
this is not surgery.
Go on.
Okay.
Go get dressed.
Oh, I'm gonna take a hot shower.
I'll only be in the hot shower
about, another half hour.
Really? A shower?
Yeah, a shower.
Mm kay.
A hot shower.
Oh, see now you playing.
Oh, and then maybe I can put on
that little red dress
that you like so much.
Mm-hm, hurry back.
Hey, don't touch
the dessert, okay?
It's for the guests.
Hurry back.
Can't promise about
that ass, though.
Babe, why are you drinking?
And you took the medication.
Um, it's a special occasion.
We're celebrating something
that's important to you, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, can't I have a cheat day?
Oh you been cheating all month.
Because I'm invincible.
Babe, please.
Okay, fine, after tonight
I'll eat whatever you cook.
No questions.
I love you, silly.
'Cause you're perfect.
Am I? You like this?
I don't know,
you think we should wear
the hair up tonight?
I mean, you're so pretty.
You got that good hair,
you know.
Can't even believe
you're your nappy headed
momma's child sometimes.
Is that them?
Yeah.
I think that's them.
What, what,
I gotta answer the door.
Baby!
- I'm coming.
- Come on!
I'm coming, I'm coming.
Gotta ahead of me.
God, you're so beautiful.
I'm Brian.
Nice to meet you man,
Todd, Todd Allen.
This must be the husband.
Oh yeah, the love of my life.
Yes, my lovely wife
has forgot her manners.
Excuse me sweetie.
Brian.
I'm Glenda,
the long lost best friend.
Yeah.
To the rescue.
The husband.
Right.
Oo.
- Oh.
- Yes.
Here, I brought this.
I can put this on ice.
Yes, girl, let's.
Okay, come on.
- We're gonna go this way.
- Okay.
We'll talk to you guys.
Remember, we gotta drink.
This bottle.
All right, so you know what?
What?
Your husband, he's cute.
Yeah, and you brought Todd?
Okay, so that was last minute.
I actually didn't
think he'd say yes.
Mm, well I think it's okay.
I mean, I didn't
clear it with Brian
but he seems fine with it.
I don't think he's upset.
You know, actually, he
seems like an asshole.
Who isn't an asshole to you?
Girl is that a
rhetorical question?
Like, I actually cannot believe
what I'm seeing right now.
What?
- Girl what?
- Yeah.
What do you mean what?
All of this, this,
what I'm seeing, you.
Like, I don't even know the
bitch I'm looking at right now.
You don't even look the same.
Okay, stop.
You're sounding weird.
But girl, is this even real?
Like blink two times
if you're in trouble.
It's a nice place
you got here, man.
Yeah, it's modest.
We call it home.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ah, don't tell the
wife about this.
She's been on me about
my drinking lately.
Nah, you good bro.
I ain't no snitch.
Yeah, thank you man.
I like you.
You like me?
Yeah, I know your type,
I like you.
Man, no offense but we just met.
You don't know
anything about me.
Why are you so beautiful?
You're saying that
like you're not.
Oh god, girl, you're like,
I don't know, paid Instagram,
sponsorship model
beautiful and I'm just some
disgusting grab ass
motherfucker beautiful.
Okay, there is a difference.
No, there's no difference.
Beauty is beauty.
No, you're exotic
beauty got you living up
in the hills and my black beauty
got my light bill
paid a time or two.
All right, I'm so
way past this thinking.
Stop it.
Think about what
that thinking got you.
I didn't create the rules.
Are you past that too?
Because it looks like you
aren't past benefiting from it.
What are you talking about?
See, that's the thing.
They want us to fight and
put us against each other.
If we do this then we're
no better than they are.
Easy to say when
you're considered better.
You're the one just saying that.
Girl, are you serious right now?
I have eyes.
Look around, look at this place.
So, I'm supposed to feel guilty
because I made good
choices in life.
And what, I should?
Well, it's starting
to sound that way.
Look at us.
It's all because somebody
hyper sexualized our images
and we're made to feel
responsible for it.
I refuse to.
What?
See, it's that.
It's that right there.
What?
I know you, bitch.
I know that this isn't you.
This Vanna White,
Betty Crocker bullshit
that you're doing right now.
I know how you get down.
Girl, those aren't
even your teeth.
What?
Girl, let's be real, it's me.
Be real with me, you
don't have to be fake.
Oh, so now I'm fake because
I decided to get braces?
No, you're fake because
you didn't invite me
to the wedding,
or the house warming,
or the college graduation,
and then all of a sudden
you just call me.
You know, I'm a really
good judge of character.
If you say so.
I say so.
Okay fine, I'll bite.
What's my type?
I'll be honest with you,
all right?
My wife, Glenda, hardly talks
about her past before me.
I didn't know who
the fuck Glenda was
up until a week ago.
You know, and then when
she said she wanted
one of her work friends
to come over, man,
I couldn't believe it.
Where you going with all this?
Relax, I'm just, you know.
I'm gonna lay something on you.
I'm qualifying what I'm
gonna lay on you, right?
Mm-hm.
So you don't think I'm some
kind of magician or something.
Okay, all right.
So, we established that.
Right, I don't know
nothing about you.
You don't know nothing about us.
Now, go ahead and tell me,
what's my type?
Okay, what are you?
You a 27, 28?
I'm 28, yeah.
And what's Glenda she's 33?
Am I right?
Yeah.
You're a survivor.
You both are.
But you're tired
of women your age
and the games they
play and are attracted
to a more seasoned type
woman, like Glenda.
Right, she doesn't smother you.
She allows you to be a
man and you like that.
You need that.
Glenda,
she's an upgrade for you.
But you'll never admit it
but you'll prove it with
your pitbull type loyalty.
This here, my house,
is a first for you.
But you're too cool to get
excited and admit that.
You know what, you work
with your hands, right?
Whatever you do,
you're good at it.
Damn good, actually.
And you been through
a lot of shit
but you're never gonna
go through it again.
Especially not with a good
girl like Glenda by your side.
And you know all that
just by looking at me?
Uh, yeah, all that and more.
Just by looking at ya.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
All of a sudden
you wanna call me
because you're putting
some fish in the oven
and want some company.
Um, I.
You know, your rich ass probably
didn't even season
that fucking fish.
Did you?
Girl, I made chicken
tonight, okay.
Look, okay you know
what I got the hot sauce.
'Cause I know Brian did not
marry you for your cooking.
I eloped.
Wait, what?
Brian didn't want a big wedding
because he was already
married before
so he didn't want to
make a big deal about it.
Wow.
Oh, and that chicken recipe
I got off the internet.
Girl, I just wanted
you here, okay.
All of this talking
back and forth,
I just wanted to see my girl.
Okay, you know I'm here.
And I've never asked you
anything about it, right.
When you called I came.
I'll always be here for you.
Always.
I actually thought I'd never
hear from you again, you know.
About that night.
Oh, I refuse to talk about
that night and litigate it.
That's back in the past.
I don't focus on it now, okay.
Okay, all right.
So on a scale of one to 10.
Okay, 10 being the highest.
How black can my ass be tonight
because your uppity
ass mighta changed
but I have not.
I'm thinking on it.
Mm-hm.
You're being so silly, bitch.
Let me pour you a drink.
Ugh, we good!
Your suit, it's nice.
Exactly, exactly, exactly.
It's nice, but guess what?
It's not tailored.
And I bet you Glenda
made you wear it
but you left the tie out
because you're just not
ready to conform, right?
You like that new
style billionaire.
Those Jay-Z types.
Those woke billionaires
with one foot
in the street and the other
foot in the gluttony of luxury.
How am I doing?
- Can I be honest?
- Yeah.
You full of shit.
You full of shit,
that's what I think.
You know what,
that's why I like you.
Cheers, man.
What you guys talking about?
Oh just.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, guys we gotta
check on our dog
because the neighbor's
dog sitting
and you know it's like
a miscommunication.
You know, something simple.
Is there someplace we can talk?
Patio.
Is the dog okay?
You know, it's fine.
We'll be right back.
Be right back, yeah.
Do you believe that
thing about the dog?
Or is he just in the dog house?
I don't know.
I guess, I hope the dog's okay.
Oh yes.
What's up?
Okay, change of plans.
Something is not right.
Oh, if you're trying
to get outta here
right now you ain't
gotta convince me.
This dude is fucking crazy.
Okay, look, not yet, all right.
I just need to get down
to the bottom of it.
I need to get him
alone or something.
You know what I mean,
just, I need a moment.
Did you turn into a detective
or some shit behind my back?
Nah, I'm just saying,
like, you ain't seen
this girl in about what,
three years?
So all of a sudden the
second you show up,
she gotta be saved.
Look babe, can you
just trust me on this?
All right, she's
definitely hiding something
and I know he's
hiding something too.
What does that even mean?
Okay, look, nothing, all right.
Can you just follow my
lead and help me transition
the conversation so I can
get a moment with him.
All right,
I mean whatever you need
but you're gonna
have to tell me why.
Okay, it's just my instincts.
If this was your homeboy,
what would you do?
Look.
Okay, we need to
get back in there.
Okay, but you told me.
We agreed if we had a bad
feeling about this thing
we could just go,
that's what you said.
So are you sure you still
wanna go through with this?
Baby I have to.
That's my girl.
I gotta make sure she's okay.
Can we just go get
my purse, please?
Mm.
What's gotten into you?
This is already
your second bottle.
Oh, I know.
I'm gonna have to cut you off.
You know what,
I promise I'll slow down
after this evening.
I just, I don't know.
I think I'm getting a
little cabin fever.
I've been cooped up in
the house too long.
Oh, is that why allowed me
to have all my friends over
because you're so bored?
I don't know, maybe.
Not only that but
I'm proud of you.
Heh.
I am, because when you
have fun, everyone does.
You know what babe, that
sounds a little self serving.
Maybe but.
Mm-hm?
Okay, look hold this.
All right.
Babe.
Whatever you need.
You got a lot of hair back here.
- Hold this for me, okay?
- All right.
Yeah, okay.
What's up, y'all?
Mm, hey!
That's my joint, girl.
You already know what's up.
No.
Yeah, come on y'all,
stop playing.
No, I'm good.
Just like riding a bike.
Come on, come on girl.
You know what's up.
Okay, I think we've had enough.
Oh come on.
Girl, come on.
Come on.
You know we need to talk.
You, come with me.
What, what was that?
Girl, a blast from the past.
Acting like you didn't like it.
I just didn't need it.
Okay, but you looked like
you were having fun to me.
Having fun with you
was never the hard part.
Mm-hm.
Well, you know what,
what am I doing here?
I just, I need you.
I need you to move forward.
And I need that part
of my life to die.
Mm, you can't kill
the past, girl.
It's a part of you.
No, not for me, not anymore.
Then what am I doing here?
I need you.
I just wanna move forward.
I mean, what else can I say?
Mm.
Wait, wait, stop.
I can't do that.
Okay, wha, well you do know
this is your husband's
idea, right?
He sent me emails
that were from.
Come on.
So, your husband
sent me an email
and he said it came from you.
Yeah, I forgot.
He was supposed to
send you the address.
Oh, okay.
Is that it?
Well yeah,
you aren't mad, right?
No, I'm not mad.
I'm not mad at all.
Oh, okay.
Um.
What, is there something
else I need to know?
All right, all right, all right.
Okay, so here's the truth.
I remember him from
the club and you know
the moment I came in
I recognized his face.
He used to come in all the time.
Oh, I already know that.
Okay, did you know he was
there before you started,
like, all the time?
Men go to strip clubs.
Okay, all right.
I just didn't want
it to be weird.
Weird, it's not weird.
No, correction,
can it get any weirder?
Well, no, but you know.
I just wanted to be
honest with you.
Okay, was there something
else I should know?
No.
Girl, we're good.
I'm just glad you're here.
We're good, all right?
Actually I gotta pee, so.
I think this liquor, oh.
Bathroom's right.
- Where?
- Here, girl.
Okay, come on, come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
You know Glenda, she's
big into the art stuff, man.
Like especially that
thing you got in there.
Where would I get
something like that?
Like that there?
Yeah, exactly like that.
No offense, Todd,
but that conversation
is just a little bit
above your tax bracket.
Yeah, it definitely is
but what can I say,
she's interested.
So maybe you could
talk to her, or.
Come on, Todd.
She put you up to this?
I don't get it, what?
We're two grown ass
men married to strippers
and you want me to talk to
your girlfriend about art.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see where you're coming from.
Yeah, you're a little late, bro.
She already laid
down the marker.
All right look, I'm
gonna be real with you.
She said she needed to talk
to you about something.
You know her from somewhere?
Maybe the club,
some shit like that?
Do you normally remember
strippers you meet at clubs?
Not necessarily.
Exactly.
You know what.
They think that thing
between their legs is power
but it's not, Todd.
No offense,
it's not power, money is.
And I'm not mesmerized
by that shit.
I'm not.
Noted.
Just because a woman
catches my attention
doesn't mean she warrants
space in my brain.
So you gonna talk
to Glennie or not?
Nothing rattles you.
Absolutely nothing rattles you,
does it?
Not about this
conversation it doesn't.
I knew I liked you, boy.
I knew I liked you.
I'm glad, man.
Just trying to be me.
Gentlemen, dinner's ready.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
This must be
organic fruit, girl.
Oh my God.
Babe, you ain't had no chicken.
Look at this chicken.
This chicken look like Ralph's.
And you know you love
that Ralph's chicken.
I need to get you some chicken.
Well, chill.
I say we should toast.
No, no.
Babe, that's not necessary.
Yes, of course it is!
Hold on.
I know I give you a lot of
shit about this magazine ad.
But I'm proud of you.
Yay, my girl's
boosting sales and shit.
I am so proud of you.
'Cause when I got you this job,
I never thought it would
turn out this well.
What?
Latavia didn't tell you?
I didn't.
You didn't tell 'em?
No. Okay.
Tell 'em the story, baby.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
So, Brian has this friend
and this friend happened
to be a photographer.
And he gave him my picture
without my permission,
I might add.
And this friend,
he's photographer,
and one thing led to another
and that's why we're here.
She's being modest.
She's the face of
Jet Talent Agency.
Not only is she gonna be on
the cover of this magazine
but her face is
gonna be on bus ads
and internet ads.
What? What photo?
I mean, it's gotta be
an amazing photo, right?
If it caught a
photographer's eye.
My life's blushing.
I wanna see the photo.
Nah, it's just a stupid picture.
It can't be stupid, I
mean we're all here for it
to celebrate you.
I wanna see the photo.
Um, it's not the kind
of photo you pass around
at a dinner table if you
catch what I'm throwing.
Okay, babe we talked about
it, we laughed about it,
now it's over.
I'm not laughing.
I mean, baby, are you laughing?
I'm good, I'm chilling.
No, I wouldn't laugh.
Let me see the photo.
It was a nude picture.
I showed him a nude picture.
But its not what you think.
You don't know what I think.
I know I don't, but
it was just a picture
of my work.
- Okay, your work?
- Yeah.
Yes, he's a plastic surgeon.
Oh, now that explains so much.
I appreciate it but
I can talk for myself.
Latavia is my masterpiece.
I fixed that nose.
I lifted that butt
and those breasts.
I am the best plastic
surgeon in this region
and you may not know me,
but you know my work.
If I was unethical I
could tell you stories.
Okay, so showing nudes
of your wife is ethical?
She was a stripper.
You still are.
I showed a potential
client my portfolio.
I do not see the big deal.
It got her the gig.
That was the point of the story.
I'm a mechanic.
Are you serious right now?
What, nah,
you know what I'm saying?
'Cause it's like, we know
that they dancers, okay
and we know that he's a surgeon
so I just want everybody to
know what I do for a living.
We shake asses, he shapes them.
Your job does not compare, baby.
That's a tough cough
you got there, man.
You all right?
Its okay,
I have a heart problem.
My doctors say I
should take it easy.
I'm sorry to hear that.
No, it's all right.
And before you judge me, I've
always had a heart problem.
I got this.
Should you be drinking
like that, though?
No, I don't wanna
get in your business
or nothing like that, man.
But I'm just saying.
My grand daddy died
from heart shit, so,
hope you taking
that shit serious.
If I listened to what
my doctors told me,
I would have died
of boredom by now.
They don't want me to smoke.
They don't want me to drink.
Boring sex positions,
tasteless foods.
And my best friend
is my cardiologist.
He can revive me from anything.
I'm like the black Dick Cheney.
Aw, babe you know I don't
like it when you say that.
I'm joking, no,
seriously I'm just kidding.
I got this.
I'm good.
My doctor gave me a clean
bill of health and I'm okay.
Cool.
Yes.
- Babe?
- Hm?
Another bottle.
Oh.
Chop-chop!
Imma come, imma come with you.
Babe, I'll be right back.
Come on.
I love that girl.
Ever since I told her
about my heart condition
she went from slutty
Amber Rose to boring.
And the things we used to do.
It was like head in the
bathroom, threesomes,
whatever I named
she would do it.
Now, nothing.
I don't know.
Tell me,
what phase are you guys in?
Phase?
Yeah, phase, you know sex phase.
Honey moon phase where you can't
keep your hands off each other?
Discovery phase,
where you guys just try
to figure out what
each other likes
or autopilot phase where you
just going through the motions?
I don't know, I never
really thought about it
as a lot of phases.
You have no idea, my brother.
All right well look, I'm
gonna be real with you.
I have no interest in talking
about my sex life with you.
I really don't wanna
hear about yours,
so, I ain't doing this.
Really?
Mm-hm.
We are both fucking strippers.
If we can't brag about
that then you know what,
take my nuts now.
I'm gonna get some wine.
You know you
shouldn't let him talk
to you like that, right?
Don't you think I know that?
Well look, I'm sorry to
hear about you and Latavia.
Well you know what,
we're phasing out.
Mm, sorry to hear that.
Yeah, you know.
That's what prenups
are for, man.
That's why God created prenups.
If we get a divorce all
she's getting is the house.
That's it.
I don't get you, man.
'Cause your wife is beautiful
and if she does all
the things for you
that you say she does, why
would you mess with that?
Fuck, I just want this
one night to go as planned.
Cool, you know it's
early, so, it's fine.
November 19th.
What's November 19th?
That's when she turns 29.
What's that gotta
do with anything?
Then she becomes
obsessed with becoming 30.
You see,
when women become obsessed
with becoming 30,
they evaluate their life
on some, I don't know,
gotta get married,
love me, light shit and
I just can't do that.
I can't, I can't do it.
What if you wrong?
What if she's the one.
Is Glenda the one?
But you brought Todd.
Yeah, I brought Todd and
he'll probably embarrass me
by the end of the night.
You know men got dumb
ass in their DNA.
Yeah, maybe we
shouldn't do this tonight.
I don't know.
We still trying to
figure that out.
See, you just like me.
Hm?
It's the same shit, man.
I'm leaving mine because
she's getting old.
You not leaving yours
'cause you too young
and you don't know
where to go after this.
Its the same shit, man.
Just different ends of
the spectrum, that's all.
Me and you are nothing alike.
It's fine.
Yeah, you ready for round,
oh you are ready
for round three?
Girl down it,
take it to the head.
Okay, come on let's do this.
Now, what's the story with
you not telling me about
your friend over there?
Babe, there's no story.
You know I hate reminiscing.
You know that about me.
That's some bullshit.
It was a guy, wasn't it?
- No.
- It was a guy.
It's always a guy.
Help me out, Todd.
Oh I'm, nah, I don't have
nothing to do with that.
I'm gonna need another glass.
Are you sure you can
handle another glass?
That's not the cheap stuff.
Okay, you know what,
I can handle mines
but can you afford
to keep pouring?
Oh.
I like this one.
Where have you been
hiding this one?
Uh-uh, I'm a grown ass woman.
Babe, babe, one more.
No, a little bit, yep.
Todd?
All right.
Todd, Todd?
Are you sure you're gonna
be able to control this one?
I wouldn't dare try.
Yeah, he couldn't
even if he tried.
So you're the alpha
in the relationship?
I mean, we just talking.
I'm not offending you
with this question, am I?
Uh-uh.
No, that's okay.
Brian, he's just playing
the provocateur.
He's just clearly had just a
little bit too much to drink.
No, hold on now.
Have I ever shied away
from a good conversation?
No.
Baby, am I allowed to
answer this question?
Go full alpha if
you need to, babe.
So, you know I hate to answer
a question with a question
but what's wrong with
an alpha female?
I never said there
was anything wrong
with being an alpha female.
I just asked if
you were the alpha
in the relationship.
Yeah, I know what you asked.
But I also know
what you implied.
He didn't mean anything by it.
He's just...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey, Brian.
We're just talking, right?
Yeah.
I'm not offending you
with my question, am I?
No, no, no.
There's nothing wrong
with an alpha female.
I mean, if you like
that kind of thing.
You see, but that, right there,
that's what's wrong with
a black alpha female.
Oh, now we're
getting more specific.
I took you as a realist.
So, I was just keeping it real.
I insist.
Now I'm speaking
generally, right?
Okay.
Black women are single
more than other races.
Oh okay.
All right, so you're
saying I'm good enough
to fuck but I'm not
good enough to marry.
Is that where we're
going with this?
No, you know what?
40% of black women
in your age group
have never been married
as opposed to 14%
of white women in
the same age group.
Black women with
a college degree
are less likely to be married
than white women
without a degree.
Now why is that?
You know what?
I'm sure you're gonna tell me.
I'm not trying
to start anything.
No, I mean it's too late,
brother.
Go ahead, the floor is yours.
Right, exactly.
Now, listen to me.
A lot of us black
people have had
to grow up without
fathers and black women
have had to be so
strong where softness
was a sign of weakness.
So black women never really
learned to trust men.
A man, black, white, red,
yellow, or brown, right?
We don't like to look
across the table
at that hard demeanor.
We like something
soft to come home to.
Women of other races
understand that.
That's all I'm saying.
Hm, all right.
You see, see, I knew
this was a sore subject.
But I'm not talking about us.
We are four beautiful,
black people
that have beat the odds.
Right?
But Todd, help me out.
The sisters can be a bit much.
Man, I ain't helping
you dig your own grave.
Uh-uh, wait a minute.
You can like a Latina,
an asian woman,
a white woman if you want to.
You know what, just
don't group me in that.
I'm very comfortable
with who I am.
Wait a minute, me personally,
I've never dated
outside my race.
All right, whatever.
I love me some y'all.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
You're telling me,
you've never dated
a woman outside your race?
And it hasn't been conscious.
It just happened to
pan out that way.
What, do you have a problem
dating outside your race?
Look, love is love.
You know, the world is
already hard enough as it is.
Who you love shouldn't
make things harder.
I couldn't have said
it better myself.
How about you, Todd?
You ever date a white woman?
Huh?
Todd?
Have you ever dated
outside your race?
Um, um, yeah sure.
What, I mean I've dated
white women before.
Women, as in plural?
I mean yeah, a few.
I mean, it's like she
just said, right?
The world is hard
enough as it is,
so who you love shouldn't
make things harder.
So you were in love
with a white woman?
Come on Brian, you ask
me some shit like that?
Todd, why can't you
answer the question?
I bet you need that glass
of wine now, don't you?
Yeah, you know.
Look, okay, you know what.
I was engaged, once, okay.
It was a long time ago.
I mean, shit was stupid.
How did that not come up?
I didn't know that.
What was her name?
I just said it was
a long time ago.
No, it wasn't that long ago.
You can't remember her name?
Rebecca.
Come on,
get the fuck out of here.
Really, of all names?
Becky?
How long were you together?
I don't wanna talk
about this right now.
I've been with
you for five months
and you've been engaged to
a white woman named Becky.
When was that
supposed to come up?
We can talk about it later.
No, we gonna talk
about it right now.
- Are you serious?
- Yes, right now!
I don't know these people.
You want me to talk about
this shit in front of them?
Do you still love her?
No, I don't still love her.
Do you still love her?
I don't still love
this woman, all right.
Come on, you know I
don't like talking about
my shit in front of people,
you know that!
- Do you hear me?
- Yes.
Okay.
Nah, let me look.
Know what she is on Instagram.
Damn, it's all white girls.
It's white women.
Really, Todd?
Am I the first black
woman you've ever dated?
I've dated one black
girl before, okay.
I dated one black
girl when I was kid,
but okay, I guess I'm guilty.
I'm on trial now, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, you got me, all right.
I, most women I've been
with are from other races.
So what am I?
Like, some exotic plaything
'til you get back to Becky?
Wow, I am so glad you
convinced me to do this.
You know what,
I've dated one black girl
when I was a kid.
And you know what, she
was a damn good one, too.
Oh, oh, oh, really?
Fuck this shit, I ain't gotta.
One, one, one?
You see this, man, see this.
I think your
boyfriend is leaving.
Uh, wait, wait.
You ain't leaving
with my car, though.
Todd, Todd!
Oh my god, I gotta go get her.
No, no, no.
You're gonna go get
another bottle of wine
and stay out of the
grown folks business.
They're fine.
Come on.
Babe.
What?
You're hurting me.
Just because I put up with
your friend's disrespect
does not mean I'm going
to put up with yours.
I'm sorry.
Now go get another
bottle of wine.
She left her purse
in the living room.
That means she's coming back.
Please.
That way.
You know, you keep
acting like a little bitch.
Hey, you ain't got too many more
times to talk to me like that.
You know what, I say what I
wanna say when I wanna say it.
Okay, that was the last time.
No, okay, where you going?
Anywhere away from you.
You're kidding me.
You're gonna walk down
this neighborhood?
They're gonna call the
cops on your black ass.
I'm done with this shit man,
for real.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Just please wait a minute,
all right.
I shouldn't have talked
to you like that
in front of them, okay.
You can't talk to
me like that period.
Well, I was embarrassed
and defensive.
Why does my past
even matter, huh?
I don't ask you about yours.
Are you serious?
We don't talk about shit.
All we do is fuck.
This is like even
the first time we've
even been out as as a...
As a what?
Yeah, nothing.
As a couple?
Yeah, yeah, as a couple.
- I thought you ain't get into that shit.
- Oh god.
No, no,
I thought you was the type
that couldn't be tied down, right?
I mean, that's what you said.
- Man, I know what I said!
- I don't think you do.
You said, keep shit casual.
Those are your words.
You're gonna hold
me to some shit
that I said when we
first got together?
When we first hooked up? Really?
Because is that when you did
when you first met Becky?
Did she come to you and
say, oh you know what,
I like, want a serious,
monogamous relationship
and matching bank accounts.
Are you fucking
kidding me right now?
So we back to the white
girl thing now, huh?
That is not what matters.
Do you know how it makes me feel
when you hold out
on a whole fiance
and I can't even get
an Instagram live post.
You know what,
it's because I dance, huh?
What?
- Yeah.
- No.
Yeah.
No, it's not about that.
It's nothing to
do with your job.
You know what,
it's because I dance.
Because we never go anywhere.
Are you ashamed of me?
Because you weren't
ashamed last night
when you were between
my thighs rubbing
on this big black ass.
You were real comfortable then.
Do you hear yourself right now?
Yes, I hear myself.
No man puts his girl
on an Instagram page.
Glenda, I don't give
a fuck about your job.
It's not about that.
Okay, yeah.
Well.
Okay, okay, maybe a little bit.
I don't know.
Who wants their woman's ass
in another man's
face every night?
I knew it, I knew it,
I knew it, I knew it.
Why can't you just be
fucking honest all the time?
I mean,
do you tell people about me?
Do they know about that?
Look, that's different, okay.
That was something
you couldn't control.
You were provoked
and you were 17.
All right, there was three
white kids attacking you.
What were you supposed to do?
Well that judge didn't
give a fuck, all right.
He didn't care that I
was defending somebody
from them racist assholes.
He charged me as an adult!
17 years old, I got four
years assault felony
and I still gotta
live with that shit.
Well, it's not my
business to tell, right.
And honestly,
I think it's bull shit
because I don't think I have
to explain myself to anyone.
So why can't that be my reason?
Because I know how you think.
Oh, you have no
idea how I think.
No idea.
What I thought I knew
was that we were
on the same page with this shit.
You said, keep it casual.
Those are your words, Glenda.
God, I know what I said.
That was like at the beginning.
Obviously,
things between us have changed.
We just need to be able to
have an open dialogue, right?
Thought we didn't do that.
Thought we was just
out here fucking.
Oh my god, Todd why do
you keep twisting my words.
I'm a 33 year old woman.
They're taking so long outside.
Someone's gonna call the police.
This is Harper Oaks, babe.
Exclusion is part of the
price of staying here.
Look, I'm over here
trying to keep my composure
while you inside
playing mind fuck games
with mother fucking
"Nip/Tuck" in there.
Whatever.
No, not whatever.
I ain't stupid, all right.
Don't think I don't know what
you're really doing here.
Man, you don't know shit.
I know I can't do this no more.
I don't know what you
want anymore, Glenda.
I'm not a mind reader.
Well do you have ears?
Do you have ears?
Because I said I'm not
fucking anyone else.
Okay.
And let's go back inside.
Looks like she's coming back.
You should move away
from the window.
Oh my gosh.
Are you okay?
Girl, I'm fine.
You, no you can't
smoke in this house.
Where can I smoke?
Babe, I'm gonna take her in
the back just too cool off.
All right, babe?
Mm-hm, that's okay.
Mwah.
Take your time.
All right.
Come on.
Alpha females.
She made him walk.
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to bring
all of this into your house.
It was not a part of the plan,
I'm sure.
Its okay.
What?
I've been doing this
shit since high school.
Doing what?
Really?
Falling in love.
Falling out of love.
Somewhere in between.
This boy is like 28.
28 and a few months, okay.
I gave him his down
payment on his shop.
Literally everything I had.
Honestly,
I don't even know why I did it.
What are you talking about?
What are you doing to yourself?
Glenda?
You want me to be honest?
Yes.
You want honesty?
Glenda.
I'm jealous.
I'm a jealous bitch.
- No.
- I am.
You're a drunk bitch.
You're the most
selfless person I know.
Girl, please.
Selfless is the jealous person's
work uniform, all right.
You know what,
I know you hate me
for recruiting you
into the game.
Oh, no, no, no.
I don't hate you.
Yeah, well, I manipulated
you and you should.
When you walked in the club
I knew you weren't a lifer.
Glenda you're not a lifer.
Girl, I've been
dancing since I was 18.
I'm like five years away from
the club framing my thong.
But look at you.
I know you, you're
different, look at this.
All right, we were chasing
ball players and rappers.
You fucking stalked a doctor.
A fucking doctor.
You bright little bitch.
Okay, so when you
start fixing your tits
you got away from all of this
and you never looked back.
It's not even like that.
Mm-mm.
I'm not like that anymore.
You've always been
10 steps ahead.
So when you hit me up,
I knew you
had something planned
up your sleeve.
Look, it's me.
I know you have
something planned.
You gonna let me in on it?
There, there's nothing
to let you in on.
I don't have anything planned.
I just wanted to see my girl.
Okay.
When'd you start smoking?
Babe, I think we should start
winding things down, sweetie.
And I can I get you a car?
Obviously you're in no
condition to drive.
Babe, we're just talking
for a little bit longer.
You know what, I'm kinda tired.
I think I'm gonna go take a nap.
You join me?
Yeah? Okay.
And can you spruce things
up before you come?
Can you do it now?
Thank you.
Come on, we gotta go back in.
Can I help?
No, I got it.
No, this is already
embarrassing enough.
I need the address
for the Lyft driver.
Did you know I was there
the night you met Latavia?
No, she never told me that.
Okay, so you don't
remember me from the night?
No.
Okay.
All right, it was like, I
guess the playoff games.
Every baller was in the room.
Every bad dancer was there
and you don't remember
anything else from that night?
No, I remember that night
but I don't remember
you from that night.
Okay, so you remember
everything else.
But you don't remember me.
Nope.
- From any other night?
- Nope.
I mean, how could you.
So many baddies in the room,
you know what I'm saying.
And I'm just kinda curious, why?
You know, I wish someone
would've chosen me.
But what was it about Latavia?
What was it?
Yeah.
What was it about Latavia
that caught your eye?
I mean yeah,
she's one our baddies,
but damn, I gotta know.
You got her looking like
a fucking super model.
Living in this house.
You think I'm superficial,
don't you?
Of course I do.
I mean, you think I'm basic.
Oh, pretty much.
Oh so.
So.
All right,
so what was it about Lala?
I, you know,
she was looking for an out.
And looking in her
eyes you could tell
that she would do
anything to get out
of the situation she was in.
Yeah, so you were
being like some savior
or some shit, right?
Pretty much, yeah.
I like a project.
I can tell.
So, fix me.
Excuse me?
I mean, hypothetically
if I was on your
operating room table,
what would you do to fix me?
Carve me up.
Honestly?
Honestly.
How would you improve me?
May I?
Yes, you may.
I think that I would.
What the?
Tavia, okay, it doesn't look.
It's not what it
looks like, okay.
What, he was just.
Girl, I'm sorry, okay.
It's not what it looked like.
No, it's okay.
It's his job.
If he didn't touch your breasts
it would have been
a strange night.
Why don't you go in the
closet and pick something out
- that you like.
- What?
Let me get this stain
out, give me your clothes.
Damn.
Anything?
Are you sure?
'Cause you know, I drank a lot
and I may have come
off way too flirty.
No, it didn't seem like that.
Kinda scary how un-mad
you are right now.
He's a plastic surgeon.
That's what he does.
It's no big deal.
Well look, I just really wanted
to have one nice
conversation with him
before he kicked me out.
Now things just
seem really weird.
Just take something,
whatever you want.
Pick out something and
give me your clothes
and I'll wash 'em, okay?
Yep, I really thought it
was time for me to leave.
You know, I used to
love to watch you dance.
You taught me how
to become a woman.
Wait did you just, I
taught you how to be a woman?
I don't know if
that's a compliment
because I have done a lot
of things I'm not proud of.
I always wanted your
natural shape but
I wanted the plastic surgery
but I didn't want all this.
I wanted to look more like you.
I always liked how you look.
Yeah, you know,
take whatever you want.
Oof.
Babe.
I know.
I only smoked a little
bit of it, look.
The doctor said I was fine.
Put the cigar out.
Is it okay if my friend?
No, no.
She stays the night?
No, no, no.
She wants to stay
over 'cause she's drunk.
Babe, come here.
What?
Let me kiss you.
You finish that bottle of wine
with me and fuck me all night
and maybe she can stay.
Two weeks, what does that, oh.
Two weeks.
Two weeks?
Wow, you were right.
I do like that dress.
You know, if you wore that, hm,
things might be a little
different around here.
Come on,
you can stay in the guest room.
Mm, mm, mm, mm.
Girl this home.
Come on.
This is the guest room,
come on, get in.
Uh-uh, come on.
No, no, goodnight, Glennie.
Oh my god,
I keep striking out with you.
You really have changed, huh?
Mm-hm.
I really hate how
things ended between us.
You know that right?
Well, it's not over yet.
Just get some rest and I'll
see you in the morning, okay?
But I just put this dress on.
Oh well,
you don't have to take it off
right away, just keep it on.
Hey, you know,
I'm happy for you girl.
I am glad you called.
Me too.
Babe.
Babe!
I need some water, I forgot.
I forgot to take my medicine.
Could you?
Mm.
Oh, shit.
What the hell do I
keep you around for?
You going somewhere?
Hey.
I didn't know anyone was awake.
I was just gonna head out.
At this hour?
Yeah, I have a lot to do.
What you got to do?
Why don't you just stay?
I'll take you home.
Are you sure?
Yeah, no big deal.
Am I sure, of course I'm sure.
You ain't in no
condition to drive.
Come on,
it's the least I can do.
All right, thank you.
Can I ask you a question?
Can I stop you?
What happened between
you and my wife?
Oh, there are not
enough hours in the day.
Was it you and a man?
Really,
why do you guys always think
all our problems
revolve around you?
So what happened?
Well, she found out
the truth about me
and she could never
look at me the same.
So what's the truth about you?
The truth is
that I'm a user and I destroy
everything I care about.
And what do you care about?
Uh-uh, nope, no more questions.
All right?
I remember.
I knew who you were the second
you walked in the house.
I just didn't know what to say
because I didn't know
if it was a setup.
A setup?
Yeah, a setup.
Yeah you see, we've been
going through some issues.
My heart condition didn't make
anything any easier, you know.
I started going
through her phone,
checking her emails, seeing
if she was up to something.
But I didn't find nothing.
You see I need,
I need excitement
or else I'll die.
And it seemed like
she knew the boredom
would kill me,
but she just didn't care.
Mm, so you need
excitement 24 hours a day?
Yeah, 24 hours a day.
I married a stripper,
what do you expect?
Latavia, she loves you, okay.
So, why are you
even so paranoid?
I've been through a divorce.
I know the signs.
Okay, so can I ask
you one last question?
No, I'm not answering
any questions.
No please,
just one more question.
Okay.
What was it that
you remember about me
when I walked through
that front door?
I just wanted you to
keep your mouth shut.
About what?
What you mean about what?
You know what we did that night.
- Mm.
- Mm-hm.
I'm good at keeping
my mouth shut.
You must really,
really care about Tavia.
'Cause this is
gonna destroy her.
Mm-mm,
it's not about destroying her.
It's about getting what's mine.

Oh my God!
Oh my God!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Shut the fuck up.
I need to think.
Okay.
Should we call the police?
Should we just call 911?
Shut the fuck up!
Look in my bathroom there
are two pill bottles.
There's one red and
there's one blue.
Just go get 'em.
Okay!
You are so fucking predictable.
So fucking predictable.
I knew this was gonna happen.
Been waiting to kill you.
You gotta help me.
You gotta.
You gotta help me.
You gotta help me.
I am helping you.
I'm helping to kill you.
You deserve to die.
You stupid bitch.
No matter what I did,
you just wouldn't die.
You just kept getting
worse as a human being.
So I had to put you behind me.
I had to put you behind me,
so I had to go find
some shit from my past
to keep you from
coming into my future.
You won't get, get a dime.
I got a prenup.
Yeah, well I have a life
insurance policy on your ass.
You so arrogant.
You assumed that our marriage
would be over
before you expired.
You stupid ass fuck.
Is he dead?
Get out of my house!
Wait, please I just
need to explain.
You slept with my
husband and now he's dead.
I think I get it.
You know what,
you haven't changed.
You always wanted that flashy,
shiny coin.
You couldn't resist.
You always wanted what was mine.
- What does that mean?
- What I had!
You were in this,
you were jealous.
I even saw it tonight.
You couldn't stop talking.
I saw you, always had
to have the last say.
You always.
I saw you at the dinner
table with Todd and Brian.
What, did you put?
You planned this.
You planned this, didn't you?
I can't believe it.
You fucking bitch.
You fucking bitch!
God damn it!
Hello?
Yeah, 911, yeah.
I found my husband
he's unresponsive.
I need an ambulance here.
Yeah, hurry.
He's unresponsive, hurry.
Hey, baby.
Aw, let me see this.
Thought she would never die.
Yeah.
I didn't think she'd
go inside a coma.
Car crashes can
be unpredictable.
You think the police are
gonna ask us anymore questions?
How?
Nobody knew we dated.
Her blood alcohol level was
.37 at the time of the crash.
No one suspected I
manipulated the brakes.
Hey, got this in the mail.
Oo.
Yeah.
Oh good.
- Money, girl.
- Yes.
Mm, mm.
You look as beautiful
as the first night we met.
You've always protected me.
I'm gonna always have your back.
- You are?
- Mm-hm.
Well, thank you.
Mm.
You know, I just realized
I never made love
to a millionaire.
Well, I'll fix that
when I get back, okay?
All right.
Mm, you know you're
the baddest thing
I done seen in this club, right?
What's your name?
Candy.
Mm, Candy, okay.
So, that means I
haven't tipped enough
to get the real name.
Oh, honey.
No.
Okay, all right, all right.
Well, how much is VIP?
250 a half hour.
Well, I just got paid, so.
Mm, let's go.
Uh-uh.
Oh, okay.
So I haven't paid
enough to touch yet.
No.
All right well,
why don't we just talk?
Talk, okay, okay.
We can do that.
I mean, you know the clock
is still ticking though.
I know, I get it, I get it.
This might help.
Yeah, thank you.
So what's your name?
Todd.
Mm-hm.
What's your name?
Your real name this time.
Glenda.
Nice to meet you, Glenda.
Mm.
Damn, your body is crazy.
Well, thank you.
You know,
I do work out four times a week
so it better be.
And you know,
these nightly workouts.
Right, right,
I get it, I get it.
This place could
definitely be a workout.
So, I'm trying to
figure something out.
What makes a girl like
you get into this life?
I'm just curious.
You sure do ask a
lot of questions.
Well, I am a paying customer.
Except the clock is
still ticking, so,
a brother can't ask
a few questions?
Oh, take a wild guess.
But see that's obvious,
that's the obvious answer.
I get it, money.
See, I'm thinking
deeper than that.
I think.
No, no, let me figure this out.
Heart break?
Oh God, man I'm supposed
to be the therapist,
not you okay.
I'm not a therapist
but I am a mechanic.
So that means I like
to get under the hood
and see what makes things tick.
So you like to get
under the hood, you say.
Mm-hm.
I mean, is it on the table?
Or I didn't pay enough yet?
Well, take a wild guess.
Mm.
So, am I right?
Is it heart break?
Well, uh, one heart break
wouldn't have me here.
Let's try many.
You know if you were
with me, I don't think
you woulda had that problem.
Oh, that's a new one.
Like I haven't heard
that 20 times a day.
Maybe 21 is the charm.
Well, all we have is
the here and now, right?
Mm-hm.
So let's enjoy it.
I can do that.
Mm?
Yeah.
And you never know.
You might get to see what's
under the hood one day.
Shit, I hope so.
'Cause I would love to get
to know you outside the club.
Yeah, maybe.
Oh, heaven.
Hey.
Hey.
Okay.
Mm-hm.
Ah.
Mm-hm.
Happy?
I'm happy.
Okay, now remind me
again why we're doing this
'cause it was very last minute.
Oh, because it's
important to me, babe.
Remember, it's important.
It's important to you?
Yes.
Okay, well that thing
that's important to you
will be here soon,
so you go get dressed.
I got this.
Then, well.
I got this.
It's all done.
No, almost.
I still have to take the
chicken out of the oven.
I could take it out and
put it in the warmer
but potatoes need, they
need a half hour more.
Babe, I got this.
I'm a doctor.
Go get dressed,
this is not surgery.
Go on.
Okay.
Go get dressed.
Oh, I'm gonna take a hot shower.
I'll only be in the hot shower
about, another half hour.
Really? A shower?
Yeah, a shower.
Mm kay.
A hot shower.
Oh, see now you playing.
Oh, and then maybe I can put on
that little red dress
that you like so much.
Mm-hm, hurry back.
Hey, don't touch
the dessert, okay?
It's for the guests.
Hurry back.
Can't promise about
that ass, though.
Babe, why are you drinking?
And you took the medication.
Um, it's a special occasion.
We're celebrating something
that's important to you, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, can't I have a cheat day?
Oh you been cheating all month.
Because I'm invincible.
Babe, please.
Okay, fine, after tonight
I'll eat whatever you cook.
No questions.
I love you, silly.
'Cause you're perfect.
Am I? You like this?
I don't know,
you think we should wear
the hair up tonight?
I mean, you're so pretty.
You got that good hair,
you know.
Can't even believe
you're your nappy headed
momma's child sometimes.
Is that them?
Yeah.
I think that's them.
What, what,
I gotta answer the door.
Baby!
- I'm coming.
- Come on!
I'm coming, I'm coming.
Gotta ahead of me.
God, you're so beautiful.
I'm Brian.
Nice to meet you man,
Todd, Todd Allen.
This must be the husband.
Oh yeah, the love of my life.
Yes, my lovely wife
has forgot her manners.
Excuse me sweetie.
Brian.
I'm Glenda,
the long lost best friend.
Yeah.
To the rescue.
The husband.
Right.
Oo.
- Oh.
- Yes.
Here, I brought this.
I can put this on ice.
Yes, girl, let's.
Okay, come on.
- We're gonna go this way.
- Okay.
We'll talk to you guys.
Remember, we gotta drink.
This bottle.
All right, so you know what?
What?
Your husband, he's cute.
Yeah, and you brought Todd?
Okay, so that was last minute.
I actually didn't
think he'd say yes.
Mm, well I think it's okay.
I mean, I didn't
clear it with Brian
but he seems fine with it.
I don't think he's upset.
You know, actually, he
seems like an asshole.
Who isn't an asshole to you?
Girl is that a
rhetorical question?
Like, I actually cannot believe
what I'm seeing right now.
What?
- Girl what?
- Yeah.
What do you mean what?
All of this, this,
what I'm seeing, you.
Like, I don't even know the
bitch I'm looking at right now.
You don't even look the same.
Okay, stop.
You're sounding weird.
But girl, is this even real?
Like blink two times
if you're in trouble.
It's a nice place
you got here, man.
Yeah, it's modest.
We call it home.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ah, don't tell the
wife about this.
She's been on me about
my drinking lately.
Nah, you good bro.
I ain't no snitch.
Yeah, thank you man.
I like you.
You like me?
Yeah, I know your type,
I like you.
Man, no offense but we just met.
You don't know
anything about me.
Why are you so beautiful?
You're saying that
like you're not.
Oh god, girl, you're like,
I don't know, paid Instagram,
sponsorship model
beautiful and I'm just some
disgusting grab ass
motherfucker beautiful.
Okay, there is a difference.
No, there's no difference.
Beauty is beauty.
No, you're exotic
beauty got you living up
in the hills and my black beauty
got my light bill
paid a time or two.
All right, I'm so
way past this thinking.
Stop it.
Think about what
that thinking got you.
I didn't create the rules.
Are you past that too?
Because it looks like you
aren't past benefiting from it.
What are you talking about?
See, that's the thing.
They want us to fight and
put us against each other.
If we do this then we're
no better than they are.
Easy to say when
you're considered better.
You're the one just saying that.
Girl, are you serious right now?
I have eyes.
Look around, look at this place.
So, I'm supposed to feel guilty
because I made good
choices in life.
And what, I should?
Well, it's starting
to sound that way.
Look at us.
It's all because somebody
hyper sexualized our images
and we're made to feel
responsible for it.
I refuse to.
What?
See, it's that.
It's that right there.
What?
I know you, bitch.
I know that this isn't you.
This Vanna White,
Betty Crocker bullshit
that you're doing right now.
I know how you get down.
Girl, those aren't
even your teeth.
What?
Girl, let's be real, it's me.
Be real with me, you
don't have to be fake.
Oh, so now I'm fake because
I decided to get braces?
No, you're fake because
you didn't invite me
to the wedding,
or the house warming,
or the college graduation,
and then all of a sudden
you just call me.
You know, I'm a really
good judge of character.
If you say so.
I say so.
Okay fine, I'll bite.
What's my type?
I'll be honest with you,
all right?
My wife, Glenda, hardly talks
about her past before me.
I didn't know who
the fuck Glenda was
up until a week ago.
You know, and then when
she said she wanted
one of her work friends
to come over, man,
I couldn't believe it.
Where you going with all this?
Relax, I'm just, you know.
I'm gonna lay something on you.
I'm qualifying what I'm
gonna lay on you, right?
Mm-hm.
So you don't think I'm some
kind of magician or something.
Okay, all right.
So, we established that.
Right, I don't know
nothing about you.
You don't know nothing about us.
Now, go ahead and tell me,
what's my type?
Okay, what are you?
You a 27, 28?
I'm 28, yeah.
And what's Glenda she's 33?
Am I right?
Yeah.
You're a survivor.
You both are.
But you're tired
of women your age
and the games they
play and are attracted
to a more seasoned type
woman, like Glenda.
Right, she doesn't smother you.
She allows you to be a
man and you like that.
You need that.
Glenda,
she's an upgrade for you.
But you'll never admit it
but you'll prove it with
your pitbull type loyalty.
This here, my house,
is a first for you.
But you're too cool to get
excited and admit that.
You know what, you work
with your hands, right?
Whatever you do,
you're good at it.
Damn good, actually.
And you been through
a lot of shit
but you're never gonna
go through it again.
Especially not with a good
girl like Glenda by your side.
And you know all that
just by looking at me?
Uh, yeah, all that and more.
Just by looking at ya.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
All of a sudden
you wanna call me
because you're putting
some fish in the oven
and want some company.
Um, I.
You know, your rich ass probably
didn't even season
that fucking fish.
Did you?
Girl, I made chicken
tonight, okay.
Look, okay you know
what I got the hot sauce.
'Cause I know Brian did not
marry you for your cooking.
I eloped.
Wait, what?
Brian didn't want a big wedding
because he was already
married before
so he didn't want to
make a big deal about it.
Wow.
Oh, and that chicken recipe
I got off the internet.
Girl, I just wanted
you here, okay.
All of this talking
back and forth,
I just wanted to see my girl.
Okay, you know I'm here.
And I've never asked you
anything about it, right.
When you called I came.
I'll always be here for you.
Always.
I actually thought I'd never
hear from you again, you know.
About that night.
Oh, I refuse to talk about
that night and litigate it.
That's back in the past.
I don't focus on it now, okay.
Okay, all right.
So on a scale of one to 10.
Okay, 10 being the highest.
How black can my ass be tonight
because your uppity
ass mighta changed
but I have not.
I'm thinking on it.
Mm-hm.
You're being so silly, bitch.
Let me pour you a drink.
Ugh, we good!
Your suit, it's nice.
Exactly, exactly, exactly.
It's nice, but guess what?
It's not tailored.
And I bet you Glenda
made you wear it
but you left the tie out
because you're just not
ready to conform, right?
You like that new
style billionaire.
Those Jay-Z types.
Those woke billionaires
with one foot
in the street and the other
foot in the gluttony of luxury.
How am I doing?
- Can I be honest?
- Yeah.
You full of shit.
You full of shit,
that's what I think.
You know what,
that's why I like you.
Cheers, man.
What you guys talking about?
Oh just.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, guys we gotta
check on our dog
because the neighbor's
dog sitting
and you know it's like
a miscommunication.
You know, something simple.
Is there someplace we can talk?
Patio.
Is the dog okay?
You know, it's fine.
We'll be right back.
Be right back, yeah.
Do you believe that
thing about the dog?
Or is he just in the dog house?
I don't know.
I guess, I hope the dog's okay.
Oh yes.
What's up?
Okay, change of plans.
Something is not right.
Oh, if you're trying
to get outta here
right now you ain't
gotta convince me.
This dude is fucking crazy.
Okay, look, not yet, all right.
I just need to get down
to the bottom of it.
I need to get him
alone or something.
You know what I mean,
just, I need a moment.
Did you turn into a detective
or some shit behind my back?
Nah, I'm just saying,
like, you ain't seen
this girl in about what,
three years?
So all of a sudden the
second you show up,
she gotta be saved.
Look babe, can you
just trust me on this?
All right, she's
definitely hiding something
and I know he's
hiding something too.
What does that even mean?
Okay, look, nothing, all right.
Can you just follow my
lead and help me transition
the conversation so I can
get a moment with him.
All right,
I mean whatever you need
but you're gonna
have to tell me why.
Okay, it's just my instincts.
If this was your homeboy,
what would you do?
Look.
Okay, we need to
get back in there.
Okay, but you told me.
We agreed if we had a bad
feeling about this thing
we could just go,
that's what you said.
So are you sure you still
wanna go through with this?
Baby I have to.
That's my girl.
I gotta make sure she's okay.
Can we just go get
my purse, please?
Mm.
What's gotten into you?
This is already
your second bottle.
Oh, I know.
I'm gonna have to cut you off.
You know what,
I promise I'll slow down
after this evening.
I just, I don't know.
I think I'm getting a
little cabin fever.
I've been cooped up in
the house too long.
Oh, is that why allowed me
to have all my friends over
because you're so bored?
I don't know, maybe.
Not only that but
I'm proud of you.
Heh.
I am, because when you
have fun, everyone does.
You know what babe, that
sounds a little self serving.
Maybe but.
Mm-hm?
Okay, look hold this.
All right.
Babe.
Whatever you need.
You got a lot of hair back here.
- Hold this for me, okay?
- All right.
Yeah, okay.
What's up, y'all?
Mm, hey!
That's my joint, girl.
You already know what's up.
No.
Yeah, come on y'all,
stop playing.
No, I'm good.
Just like riding a bike.
Come on, come on girl.
You know what's up.
Okay, I think we've had enough.
Oh come on.
Girl, come on.
Come on.
You know we need to talk.
You, come with me.
What, what was that?
Girl, a blast from the past.
Acting like you didn't like it.
I just didn't need it.
Okay, but you looked like
you were having fun to me.
Having fun with you
was never the hard part.
Mm-hm.
Well, you know what,
what am I doing here?
I just, I need you.
I need you to move forward.
And I need that part
of my life to die.
Mm, you can't kill
the past, girl.
It's a part of you.
No, not for me, not anymore.
Then what am I doing here?
I need you.
I just wanna move forward.
I mean, what else can I say?
Mm.
Wait, wait, stop.
I can't do that.
Okay, wha, well you do know
this is your husband's
idea, right?
He sent me emails
that were from.
Come on.
So, your husband
sent me an email
and he said it came from you.
Yeah, I forgot.
He was supposed to
send you the address.
Oh, okay.
Is that it?
Well yeah,
you aren't mad, right?
No, I'm not mad.
I'm not mad at all.
Oh, okay.
Um.
What, is there something
else I need to know?
All right, all right, all right.
Okay, so here's the truth.
I remember him from
the club and you know
the moment I came in
I recognized his face.
He used to come in all the time.
Oh, I already know that.
Okay, did you know he was
there before you started,
like, all the time?
Men go to strip clubs.
Okay, all right.
I just didn't want
it to be weird.
Weird, it's not weird.
No, correction,
can it get any weirder?
Well, no, but you know.
I just wanted to be
honest with you.
Okay, was there something
else I should know?
No.
Girl, we're good.
I'm just glad you're here.
We're good, all right?
Actually I gotta pee, so.
I think this liquor, oh.
Bathroom's right.
- Where?
- Here, girl.
Okay, come on, come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
You know Glenda, she's
big into the art stuff, man.
Like especially that
thing you got in there.
Where would I get
something like that?
Like that there?
Yeah, exactly like that.
No offense, Todd,
but that conversation
is just a little bit
above your tax bracket.
Yeah, it definitely is
but what can I say,
she's interested.
So maybe you could
talk to her, or.
Come on, Todd.
She put you up to this?
I don't get it, what?
We're two grown ass
men married to strippers
and you want me to talk to
your girlfriend about art.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see where you're coming from.
Yeah, you're a little late, bro.
She already laid
down the marker.
All right look, I'm
gonna be real with you.
She said she needed to talk
to you about something.
You know her from somewhere?
Maybe the club,
some shit like that?
Do you normally remember
strippers you meet at clubs?
Not necessarily.
Exactly.
You know what.
They think that thing
between their legs is power
but it's not, Todd.
No offense,
it's not power, money is.
And I'm not mesmerized
by that shit.
I'm not.
Noted.
Just because a woman
catches my attention
doesn't mean she warrants
space in my brain.
So you gonna talk
to Glennie or not?
Nothing rattles you.
Absolutely nothing rattles you,
does it?
Not about this
conversation it doesn't.
I knew I liked you, boy.
I knew I liked you.
I'm glad, man.
Just trying to be me.
Gentlemen, dinner's ready.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
This must be
organic fruit, girl.
Oh my God.
Babe, you ain't had no chicken.
Look at this chicken.
This chicken look like Ralph's.
And you know you love
that Ralph's chicken.
I need to get you some chicken.
Well, chill.
I say we should toast.
No, no.
Babe, that's not necessary.
Yes, of course it is!
Hold on.
I know I give you a lot of
shit about this magazine ad.
But I'm proud of you.
Yay, my girl's
boosting sales and shit.
I am so proud of you.
'Cause when I got you this job,
I never thought it would
turn out this well.
What?
Latavia didn't tell you?
I didn't.
You didn't tell 'em?
No. Okay.
Tell 'em the story, baby.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
So, Brian has this friend
and this friend happened
to be a photographer.
And he gave him my picture
without my permission,
I might add.
And this friend,
he's photographer,
and one thing led to another
and that's why we're here.
She's being modest.
She's the face of
Jet Talent Agency.
Not only is she gonna be on
the cover of this magazine
but her face is
gonna be on bus ads
and internet ads.
What? What photo?
I mean, it's gotta be
an amazing photo, right?
If it caught a
photographer's eye.
My life's blushing.
I wanna see the photo.
Nah, it's just a stupid picture.
It can't be stupid, I
mean we're all here for it
to celebrate you.
I wanna see the photo.
Um, it's not the kind
of photo you pass around
at a dinner table if you
catch what I'm throwing.
Okay, babe we talked about
it, we laughed about it,
now it's over.
I'm not laughing.
I mean, baby, are you laughing?
I'm good, I'm chilling.
No, I wouldn't laugh.
Let me see the photo.
It was a nude picture.
I showed him a nude picture.
But its not what you think.
You don't know what I think.
I know I don't, but
it was just a picture
of my work.
- Okay, your work?
- Yeah.
Yes, he's a plastic surgeon.
Oh, now that explains so much.
I appreciate it but
I can talk for myself.
Latavia is my masterpiece.
I fixed that nose.
I lifted that butt
and those breasts.
I am the best plastic
surgeon in this region
and you may not know me,
but you know my work.
If I was unethical I
could tell you stories.
Okay, so showing nudes
of your wife is ethical?
She was a stripper.
You still are.
I showed a potential
client my portfolio.
I do not see the big deal.
It got her the gig.
That was the point of the story.
I'm a mechanic.
Are you serious right now?
What, nah,
you know what I'm saying?
'Cause it's like, we know
that they dancers, okay
and we know that he's a surgeon
so I just want everybody to
know what I do for a living.
We shake asses, he shapes them.
Your job does not compare, baby.
That's a tough cough
you got there, man.
You all right?
Its okay,
I have a heart problem.
My doctors say I
should take it easy.
I'm sorry to hear that.
No, it's all right.
And before you judge me, I've
always had a heart problem.
I got this.
Should you be drinking
like that, though?
No, I don't wanna
get in your business
or nothing like that, man.
But I'm just saying.
My grand daddy died
from heart shit, so,
hope you taking
that shit serious.
If I listened to what
my doctors told me,
I would have died
of boredom by now.
They don't want me to smoke.
They don't want me to drink.
Boring sex positions,
tasteless foods.
And my best friend
is my cardiologist.
He can revive me from anything.
I'm like the black Dick Cheney.
Aw, babe you know I don't
like it when you say that.
I'm joking, no,
seriously I'm just kidding.
I got this.
I'm good.
My doctor gave me a clean
bill of health and I'm okay.
Cool.
Yes.
- Babe?
- Hm?
Another bottle.
Oh.
Chop-chop!
Imma come, imma come with you.
Babe, I'll be right back.
Come on.
I love that girl.
Ever since I told her
about my heart condition
she went from slutty
Amber Rose to boring.
And the things we used to do.
It was like head in the
bathroom, threesomes,
whatever I named
she would do it.
Now, nothing.
I don't know.
Tell me,
what phase are you guys in?
Phase?
Yeah, phase, you know sex phase.
Honey moon phase where you can't
keep your hands off each other?
Discovery phase,
where you guys just try
to figure out what
each other likes
or autopilot phase where you
just going through the motions?
I don't know, I never
really thought about it
as a lot of phases.
You have no idea, my brother.
All right well look, I'm
gonna be real with you.
I have no interest in talking
about my sex life with you.
I really don't wanna
hear about yours,
so, I ain't doing this.
Really?
Mm-hm.
We are both fucking strippers.
If we can't brag about
that then you know what,
take my nuts now.
I'm gonna get some wine.
You know you
shouldn't let him talk
to you like that, right?
Don't you think I know that?
Well look, I'm sorry to
hear about you and Latavia.
Well you know what,
we're phasing out.
Mm, sorry to hear that.
Yeah, you know.
That's what prenups
are for, man.
That's why God created prenups.
If we get a divorce all
she's getting is the house.
That's it.
I don't get you, man.
'Cause your wife is beautiful
and if she does all
the things for you
that you say she does, why
would you mess with that?
Fuck, I just want this
one night to go as planned.
Cool, you know it's
early, so, it's fine.
November 19th.
What's November 19th?
That's when she turns 29.
What's that gotta
do with anything?
Then she becomes
obsessed with becoming 30.
You see,
when women become obsessed
with becoming 30,
they evaluate their life
on some, I don't know,
gotta get married,
love me, light shit and
I just can't do that.
I can't, I can't do it.
What if you wrong?
What if she's the one.
Is Glenda the one?
But you brought Todd.
Yeah, I brought Todd and
he'll probably embarrass me
by the end of the night.
You know men got dumb
ass in their DNA.
Yeah, maybe we
shouldn't do this tonight.
I don't know.
We still trying to
figure that out.
See, you just like me.
Hm?
It's the same shit, man.
I'm leaving mine because
she's getting old.
You not leaving yours
'cause you too young
and you don't know
where to go after this.
Its the same shit, man.
Just different ends of
the spectrum, that's all.
Me and you are nothing alike.
It's fine.
Yeah, you ready for round,
oh you are ready
for round three?
Girl down it,
take it to the head.
Okay, come on let's do this.
Now, what's the story with
you not telling me about
your friend over there?
Babe, there's no story.
You know I hate reminiscing.
You know that about me.
That's some bullshit.
It was a guy, wasn't it?
- No.
- It was a guy.
It's always a guy.
Help me out, Todd.
Oh I'm, nah, I don't have
nothing to do with that.
I'm gonna need another glass.
Are you sure you can
handle another glass?
That's not the cheap stuff.
Okay, you know what,
I can handle mines
but can you afford
to keep pouring?
Oh.
I like this one.
Where have you been
hiding this one?
Uh-uh, I'm a grown ass woman.
Babe, babe, one more.
No, a little bit, yep.
Todd?
All right.
Todd, Todd?
Are you sure you're gonna
be able to control this one?
I wouldn't dare try.
Yeah, he couldn't
even if he tried.
So you're the alpha
in the relationship?
I mean, we just talking.
I'm not offending you
with this question, am I?
Uh-uh.
No, that's okay.
Brian, he's just playing
the provocateur.
He's just clearly had just a
little bit too much to drink.
No, hold on now.
Have I ever shied away
from a good conversation?
No.
Baby, am I allowed to
answer this question?
Go full alpha if
you need to, babe.
So, you know I hate to answer
a question with a question
but what's wrong with
an alpha female?
I never said there
was anything wrong
with being an alpha female.
I just asked if
you were the alpha
in the relationship.
Yeah, I know what you asked.
But I also know
what you implied.
He didn't mean anything by it.
He's just...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey, Brian.
We're just talking, right?
Yeah.
I'm not offending you
with my question, am I?
No, no, no.
There's nothing wrong
with an alpha female.
I mean, if you like
that kind of thing.
You see, but that, right there,
that's what's wrong with
a black alpha female.
Oh, now we're
getting more specific.
I took you as a realist.
So, I was just keeping it real.
I insist.
Now I'm speaking
generally, right?
Okay.
Black women are single
more than other races.
Oh okay.
All right, so you're
saying I'm good enough
to fuck but I'm not
good enough to marry.
Is that where we're
going with this?
No, you know what?
40% of black women
in your age group
have never been married
as opposed to 14%
of white women in
the same age group.
Black women with
a college degree
are less likely to be married
than white women
without a degree.
Now why is that?
You know what?
I'm sure you're gonna tell me.
I'm not trying
to start anything.
No, I mean it's too late,
brother.
Go ahead, the floor is yours.
Right, exactly.
Now, listen to me.
A lot of us black
people have had
to grow up without
fathers and black women
have had to be so
strong where softness
was a sign of weakness.
So black women never really
learned to trust men.
A man, black, white, red,
yellow, or brown, right?
We don't like to look
across the table
at that hard demeanor.
We like something
soft to come home to.
Women of other races
understand that.
That's all I'm saying.
Hm, all right.
You see, see, I knew
this was a sore subject.
But I'm not talking about us.
We are four beautiful,
black people
that have beat the odds.
Right?
But Todd, help me out.
The sisters can be a bit much.
Man, I ain't helping
you dig your own grave.
Uh-uh, wait a minute.
You can like a Latina,
an asian woman,
a white woman if you want to.
You know what, just
don't group me in that.
I'm very comfortable
with who I am.
Wait a minute, me personally,
I've never dated
outside my race.
All right, whatever.
I love me some y'all.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
You're telling me,
you've never dated
a woman outside your race?
And it hasn't been conscious.
It just happened to
pan out that way.
What, do you have a problem
dating outside your race?
Look, love is love.
You know, the world is
already hard enough as it is.
Who you love shouldn't
make things harder.
I couldn't have said
it better myself.
How about you, Todd?
You ever date a white woman?
Huh?
Todd?
Have you ever dated
outside your race?
Um, um, yeah sure.
What, I mean I've dated
white women before.
Women, as in plural?
I mean yeah, a few.
I mean, it's like she
just said, right?
The world is hard
enough as it is,
so who you love shouldn't
make things harder.
So you were in love
with a white woman?
Come on Brian, you ask
me some shit like that?
Todd, why can't you
answer the question?
I bet you need that glass
of wine now, don't you?
Yeah, you know.
Look, okay, you know what.
I was engaged, once, okay.
It was a long time ago.
I mean, shit was stupid.
How did that not come up?
I didn't know that.
What was her name?
I just said it was
a long time ago.
No, it wasn't that long ago.
You can't remember her name?
Rebecca.
Come on,
get the fuck out of here.
Really, of all names?
Becky?
How long were you together?
I don't wanna talk
about this right now.
I've been with
you for five months
and you've been engaged to
a white woman named Becky.
When was that
supposed to come up?
We can talk about it later.
No, we gonna talk
about it right now.
- Are you serious?
- Yes, right now!
I don't know these people.
You want me to talk about
this shit in front of them?
Do you still love her?
No, I don't still love her.
Do you still love her?
I don't still love
this woman, all right.
Come on, you know I
don't like talking about
my shit in front of people,
you know that!
- Do you hear me?
- Yes.
Okay.
Nah, let me look.
Know what she is on Instagram.
Damn, it's all white girls.
It's white women.
Really, Todd?
Am I the first black
woman you've ever dated?
I've dated one black
girl before, okay.
I dated one black
girl when I was kid,
but okay, I guess I'm guilty.
I'm on trial now, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, you got me, all right.
I, most women I've been
with are from other races.
So what am I?
Like, some exotic plaything
'til you get back to Becky?
Wow, I am so glad you
convinced me to do this.
You know what,
I've dated one black girl
when I was a kid.
And you know what, she
was a damn good one, too.
Oh, oh, oh, really?
Fuck this shit, I ain't gotta.
One, one, one?
You see this, man, see this.
I think your
boyfriend is leaving.
Uh, wait, wait.
You ain't leaving
with my car, though.
Todd, Todd!
Oh my god, I gotta go get her.
No, no, no.
You're gonna go get
another bottle of wine
and stay out of the
grown folks business.
They're fine.
Come on.
Babe.
What?
You're hurting me.
Just because I put up with
your friend's disrespect
does not mean I'm going
to put up with yours.
I'm sorry.
Now go get another
bottle of wine.
She left her purse
in the living room.
That means she's coming back.
Please.
That way.
You know, you keep
acting like a little bitch.
Hey, you ain't got too many more
times to talk to me like that.
You know what, I say what I
wanna say when I wanna say it.
Okay, that was the last time.
No, okay, where you going?
Anywhere away from you.
You're kidding me.
You're gonna walk down
this neighborhood?
They're gonna call the
cops on your black ass.
I'm done with this shit man,
for real.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Just please wait a minute,
all right.
I shouldn't have talked
to you like that
in front of them, okay.
You can't talk to
me like that period.
Well, I was embarrassed
and defensive.
Why does my past
even matter, huh?
I don't ask you about yours.
Are you serious?
We don't talk about shit.
All we do is fuck.
This is like even
the first time we've
even been out as as a...
As a what?
Yeah, nothing.
As a couple?
Yeah, yeah, as a couple.
- I thought you ain't get into that shit.
- Oh god.
No, no,
I thought you was the type
that couldn't be tied down, right?
I mean, that's what you said.
- Man, I know what I said!
- I don't think you do.
You said, keep shit casual.
Those are your words.
You're gonna hold
me to some shit
that I said when we
first got together?
When we first hooked up? Really?
Because is that when you did
when you first met Becky?
Did she come to you and
say, oh you know what,
I like, want a serious,
monogamous relationship
and matching bank accounts.
Are you fucking
kidding me right now?
So we back to the white
girl thing now, huh?
That is not what matters.
Do you know how it makes me feel
when you hold out
on a whole fiance
and I can't even get
an Instagram live post.
You know what,
it's because I dance, huh?
What?
- Yeah.
- No.
Yeah.
No, it's not about that.
It's nothing to
do with your job.
You know what,
it's because I dance.
Because we never go anywhere.
Are you ashamed of me?
Because you weren't
ashamed last night
when you were between
my thighs rubbing
on this big black ass.
You were real comfortable then.
Do you hear yourself right now?
Yes, I hear myself.
No man puts his girl
on an Instagram page.
Glenda, I don't give
a fuck about your job.
It's not about that.
Okay, yeah.
Well.
Okay, okay, maybe a little bit.
I don't know.
Who wants their woman's ass
in another man's
face every night?
I knew it, I knew it,
I knew it, I knew it.
Why can't you just be
fucking honest all the time?
I mean,
do you tell people about me?
Do they know about that?
Look, that's different, okay.
That was something
you couldn't control.
You were provoked
and you were 17.
All right, there was three
white kids attacking you.
What were you supposed to do?
Well that judge didn't
give a fuck, all right.
He didn't care that I
was defending somebody
from them racist assholes.
He charged me as an adult!
17 years old, I got four
years assault felony
and I still gotta
live with that shit.
Well, it's not my
business to tell, right.
And honestly,
I think it's bull shit
because I don't think I have
to explain myself to anyone.
So why can't that be my reason?
Because I know how you think.
Oh, you have no
idea how I think.
No idea.
What I thought I knew
was that we were
on the same page with this shit.
You said, keep it casual.
Those are your words, Glenda.
God, I know what I said.
That was like at the beginning.
Obviously,
things between us have changed.
We just need to be able to
have an open dialogue, right?
Thought we didn't do that.
Thought we was just
out here fucking.
Oh my god, Todd why do
you keep twisting my words.
I'm a 33 year old woman.
They're taking so long outside.
Someone's gonna call the police.
This is Harper Oaks, babe.
Exclusion is part of the
price of staying here.
Look, I'm over here
trying to keep my composure
while you inside
playing mind fuck games
with mother fucking
"Nip/Tuck" in there.
Whatever.
No, not whatever.
I ain't stupid, all right.
Don't think I don't know what
you're really doing here.
Man, you don't know shit.
I know I can't do this no more.
I don't know what you
want anymore, Glenda.
I'm not a mind reader.
Well do you have ears?
Do you have ears?
Because I said I'm not
fucking anyone else.
Okay.
And let's go back inside.
Looks like she's coming back.
You should move away
from the window.
Oh my gosh.
Are you okay?
Girl, I'm fine.
You, no you can't
smoke in this house.
Where can I smoke?
Babe, I'm gonna take her in
the back just too cool off.
All right, babe?
Mm-hm, that's okay.
Mwah.
Take your time.
All right.
Come on.
Alpha females.
She made him walk.
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to bring
all of this into your house.
It was not a part of the plan,
I'm sure.
Its okay.
What?
I've been doing this
shit since high school.
Doing what?
Really?
Falling in love.
Falling out of love.
Somewhere in between.
This boy is like 28.
28 and a few months, okay.
I gave him his down
payment on his shop.
Literally everything I had.
Honestly,
I don't even know why I did it.
What are you talking about?
What are you doing to yourself?
Glenda?
You want me to be honest?
Yes.
You want honesty?
Glenda.
I'm jealous.
I'm a jealous bitch.
- No.
- I am.
You're a drunk bitch.
You're the most
selfless person I know.
Girl, please.
Selfless is the jealous person's
work uniform, all right.
You know what,
I know you hate me
for recruiting you
into the game.
Oh, no, no, no.
I don't hate you.
Yeah, well, I manipulated
you and you should.
When you walked in the club
I knew you weren't a lifer.
Glenda you're not a lifer.
Girl, I've been
dancing since I was 18.
I'm like five years away from
the club framing my thong.
But look at you.
I know you, you're
different, look at this.
All right, we were chasing
ball players and rappers.
You fucking stalked a doctor.
A fucking doctor.
You bright little bitch.
Okay, so when you
start fixing your tits
you got away from all of this
and you never looked back.
It's not even like that.
Mm-mm.
I'm not like that anymore.
You've always been
10 steps ahead.
So when you hit me up,
I knew you
had something planned
up your sleeve.
Look, it's me.
I know you have
something planned.
You gonna let me in on it?
There, there's nothing
to let you in on.
I don't have anything planned.
I just wanted to see my girl.
Okay.
When'd you start smoking?
Babe, I think we should start
winding things down, sweetie.
And I can I get you a car?
Obviously you're in no
condition to drive.
Babe, we're just talking
for a little bit longer.
You know what, I'm kinda tired.
I think I'm gonna go take a nap.
You join me?
Yeah? Okay.
And can you spruce things
up before you come?
Can you do it now?
Thank you.
Come on, we gotta go back in.
Can I help?
No, I got it.
No, this is already
embarrassing enough.
I need the address
for the Lyft driver.
Did you know I was there
the night you met Latavia?
No, she never told me that.
Okay, so you don't
remember me from the night?
No.
Okay.
All right, it was like, I
guess the playoff games.
Every baller was in the room.
Every bad dancer was there
and you don't remember
anything else from that night?
No, I remember that night
but I don't remember
you from that night.
Okay, so you remember
everything else.
But you don't remember me.
Nope.
- From any other night?
- Nope.
I mean, how could you.
So many baddies in the room,
you know what I'm saying.
And I'm just kinda curious, why?
You know, I wish someone
would've chosen me.
But what was it about Latavia?
What was it?
Yeah.
What was it about Latavia
that caught your eye?
I mean yeah,
she's one our baddies,
but damn, I gotta know.
You got her looking like
a fucking super model.
Living in this house.
You think I'm superficial,
don't you?
Of course I do.
I mean, you think I'm basic.
Oh, pretty much.
Oh so.
So.
All right,
so what was it about Lala?
I, you know,
she was looking for an out.
And looking in her
eyes you could tell
that she would do
anything to get out
of the situation she was in.
Yeah, so you were
being like some savior
or some shit, right?
Pretty much, yeah.
I like a project.
I can tell.
So, fix me.
Excuse me?
I mean, hypothetically
if I was on your
operating room table,
what would you do to fix me?
Carve me up.
Honestly?
Honestly.
How would you improve me?
May I?
Yes, you may.
I think that I would.
What the?
Tavia, okay, it doesn't look.
It's not what it
looks like, okay.
What, he was just.
Girl, I'm sorry, okay.
It's not what it looked like.
No, it's okay.
It's his job.
If he didn't touch your breasts
it would have been
a strange night.
Why don't you go in the
closet and pick something out
- that you like.
- What?
Let me get this stain
out, give me your clothes.
Damn.
Anything?
Are you sure?
'Cause you know, I drank a lot
and I may have come
off way too flirty.
No, it didn't seem like that.
Kinda scary how un-mad
you are right now.
He's a plastic surgeon.
That's what he does.
It's no big deal.
Well look, I just really wanted
to have one nice
conversation with him
before he kicked me out.
Now things just
seem really weird.
Just take something,
whatever you want.
Pick out something and
give me your clothes
and I'll wash 'em, okay?
Yep, I really thought it
was time for me to leave.
You know, I used to
love to watch you dance.
You taught me how
to become a woman.
Wait did you just, I
taught you how to be a woman?
I don't know if
that's a compliment
because I have done a lot
of things I'm not proud of.
I always wanted your
natural shape but
I wanted the plastic surgery
but I didn't want all this.
I wanted to look more like you.
I always liked how you look.
Yeah, you know,
take whatever you want.
Oof.
Babe.
I know.
I only smoked a little
bit of it, look.
The doctor said I was fine.
Put the cigar out.
Is it okay if my friend?
No, no.
She stays the night?
No, no, no.
She wants to stay
over 'cause she's drunk.
Babe, come here.
What?
Let me kiss you.
You finish that bottle of wine
with me and fuck me all night
and maybe she can stay.
Two weeks, what does that, oh.
Two weeks.
Two weeks?
Wow, you were right.
I do like that dress.
You know, if you wore that, hm,
things might be a little
different around here.
Come on,
you can stay in the guest room.
Mm, mm, mm, mm.
Girl this home.
Come on.
This is the guest room,
come on, get in.
Uh-uh, come on.
No, no, goodnight, Glennie.
Oh my god,
I keep striking out with you.
You really have changed, huh?
Mm-hm.
I really hate how
things ended between us.
You know that right?
Well, it's not over yet.
Just get some rest and I'll
see you in the morning, okay?
But I just put this dress on.
Oh well,
you don't have to take it off
right away, just keep it on.
Hey, you know,
I'm happy for you girl.
I am glad you called.
Me too.
Babe.
Babe!
I need some water, I forgot.
I forgot to take my medicine.
Could you?
Mm.
Oh, shit.
What the hell do I
keep you around for?
You going somewhere?
Hey.
I didn't know anyone was awake.
I was just gonna head out.
At this hour?
Yeah, I have a lot to do.
What you got to do?
Why don't you just stay?
I'll take you home.
Are you sure?
Yeah, no big deal.
Am I sure, of course I'm sure.
You ain't in no
condition to drive.
Come on,
it's the least I can do.
All right, thank you.
Can I ask you a question?
Can I stop you?
What happened between
you and my wife?
Oh, there are not
enough hours in the day.
Was it you and a man?
Really,
why do you guys always think
all our problems
revolve around you?
So what happened?
Well, she found out
the truth about me
and she could never
look at me the same.
So what's the truth about you?
The truth is
that I'm a user and I destroy
everything I care about.
And what do you care about?
Uh-uh, nope, no more questions.
All right?
I remember.
I knew who you were the second
you walked in the house.
I just didn't know what to say
because I didn't know
if it was a setup.
A setup?
Yeah, a setup.
Yeah you see, we've been
going through some issues.
My heart condition didn't make
anything any easier, you know.
I started going
through her phone,
checking her emails, seeing
if she was up to something.
But I didn't find nothing.
You see I need,
I need excitement
or else I'll die.
And it seemed like
she knew the boredom
would kill me,
but she just didn't care.
Mm, so you need
excitement 24 hours a day?
Yeah, 24 hours a day.
I married a stripper,
what do you expect?
Latavia, she loves you, okay.
So, why are you
even so paranoid?
I've been through a divorce.
I know the signs.
Okay, so can I ask
you one last question?
No, I'm not answering
any questions.
No please,
just one more question.
Okay.
What was it that
you remember about me
when I walked through
that front door?
I just wanted you to
keep your mouth shut.
About what?
What you mean about what?
You know what we did that night.
- Mm.
- Mm-hm.
I'm good at keeping
my mouth shut.
You must really,
really care about Tavia.
'Cause this is
gonna destroy her.
Mm-mm,
it's not about destroying her.
It's about getting what's mine.

I'm sorry.
Shut the fuck up.
I need to think.
Okay.
Should we call the police?
Should we just call 911?
Shut the fuck up!
Look in my bathroom there
are two pill bottles.
There's one red and
there's one blue.
Just go get 'em.
Okay!
You are so fucking predictable.
So fucking predictable.
I knew this was gonna happen.
Been waiting to kill you.
You gotta help me.
You gotta.
You gotta help me.
You gotta help me.
I am helping you.
I'm helping to kill you.
You deserve to die.
You stupid bitch.
No matter what I did,
you just wouldn't die.
You just kept getting
worse as a human being.
So I had to put you behind me.
I had to put you behind me,
so I had to go find
some shit from my past
to keep you from
coming into my future.
You won't get, get a dime.
I got a prenup.
Yeah, well I have a life
insurance policy on your ass.
You so arrogant.
You assumed that our marriage
would be over
before you expired.
You stupid ass fuck.
Is he dead?
Get out of my house!
Wait, please I just
need to explain.
You slept with my
husband and now he's dead.
I think I get it.
You know what,
you haven't changed.
You always wanted that flashy,
shiny coin.
You couldn't resist.
You always wanted what was mine.
- What does that mean?
- What I had!
You were in this,
you were jealous.
I even saw it tonight.
You couldn't stop talking.
I saw you, always had
to have the last say.
You always.
I saw you at the dinner
table with Todd and Brian.
What, did you put?
You planned this.
You planned this, didn't you?
I can't believe it.
You fucking bitch.
You fucking bitch!
God damn it!
Hello?
Yeah, 911, yeah.
I found my husband
he's unresponsive.
I need an ambulance here.
Yeah, hurry.
He's unresponsive, hurry.
Hey, baby.
Aw, let me see this.
Thought she would never die.
Yeah.
I didn't think she'd
go inside a coma.
Car crashes can
be unpredictable.
You think the police are
gonna ask us anymore questions?
How?
Nobody knew we dated.
Her blood alcohol level was
.37 at the time of the crash.
No one suspected I
manipulated the brakes.
Hey, got this in the mail.
Oo.
Yeah.
Oh good.
- Money, girl.
- Yes.
Mm, mm.
You look as beautiful
as the first night we met.
You've always protected me.
I'm gonna always have your back.
- You are?
- Mm-hm.
Well, thank you.
Mm.
You know, I just realized
I never made love
to a millionaire.
Well, I'll fix that
when I get back, okay?
All right.
