- Who strategizes "never have I ever" ? - A winner, bitch.
Ashley, your turn.
Never have I ever stolen a boyfriend from my cousin, Quinta.
- Wait, me cousin Quinta ? - I told you that in confidence.
- Sorry, Quinta.
It was Dre.
- He had a Flintstone dick.
It's OK.
- What's a Flintstone dick ? - You use your feet to make it work.
Gabrielle, you go ! Never have I ever done a walk of shame.
- You've never done a walk of shame.
- I wasn't ashamed, okay.
Quinta.
Never have I ever sent love poetry to Cornel West and gotten a cease and desist in return.
This game is stupid.
Let's just watch something on TV.
We've got "Beale Street," "Aladdin.
" "Blank Panther" and other niggas.
"Baby Boy.
" I haven't seen this in ages.
- We cancelled that movie.
Misogyny.
- It's got Tyrese in it.
I still fap to that Coca-Cola commercial.
Breathe, Roy.
This isn't the opening of Clementine's Rib Shack and Show Repair, it's the Aphrodite Theater ! And we gettin' paid in real money.
A man can only eat so many ribs.
Speak for yourself, Josephus.
Bring it in, fellas.
Let's hit it and get it.
Put your hands together for Claude and The Boppers, singing the hit that's taken America's sweet tooth by storm, "Ice Cream Shop" ! Also, I'm about to flip it and dip it.

One.
Two.
One.
Two.
One, two, three, four.
Holding hands in the ice cream shop, Of all the flavors, you're the cream of the crop.
Holding hands in the ice cream shop.
A girl like you should never be alone.
Come taste the flavor of my ice cream cone.
Your two scoops leave me at a loss.
I'll cover them in my chocolate sauce.
Chocolate sauce goes on dessert.
Not on the Milk Duds under your shirt.
We're just here to ask you out.
That's what the song used to be about.
She'll satisfy any scratch I need itchin'.
And once a week, I'll let her out of the kitchen.
Every night she'll make my supper.
After the dishes, she'll do me and my brother.
If she wants to, that's one option.
In the myriad of the things she could do.
For instance, my wife is a teacher.
I love you, Sheila ! This wasn't my idea ! Girl, you're a stone cold fox.
Capable of drivin' a truck.
Or giving birth to our babies.
Or not.
Your uterus is yours to do with as you will.
Fuckin' you in the ice cream shop.
Juggle my balls in the ice cream shop.
That's it ! Come on, Claude.
I'm fuckin' you.
I'm fuckin' you.
The Boppers never performed again.
The next day, Claude died in a tragic ball-juggling accident in an ice cream shop.
But his legacy lives on through the music of his grandson Chris Brown.
- Now stop ! Let's go.
- We My job is not to supply the conspiracy theory, it's to be patient enough to let the conspiracy theory supply me.
MEET YOUR NEW INSTRUCTOR Our black family unit is under threat.
Our men are unfocused and unproductive, doin' frivolous things like gettin' therapy and smilin'.
Women are supposed to be the keepers of the home, but sisters are trying to exist outside the role of wife and mother.
But if you're a wife or a mother, you don't belong outside.
Take your shoes off.
WORLD RENOWNED PHILOSOPHIZER White people will have you believe our original sin is our existence.
Their sin is puttin' raisins in food where it doesn't belong.
Jesus only ate mac and cheese and so do I.
DR.
HADDASSAH OLAYINKA ALI-YOUNGMAN Pre-PhD They'll tell you a black man invented the traffic light, but he also invented the color yellow, red, and green.
But I'll tell you in my new self-published book, "I Hate My Green Eyes and Ham.
" LEARN TO CONSPIRACIZE Ignore the empirical evidence that contradicts your beliefs ! Empirical ! Empire.
Free Jessie.
Free your mind.
Free En Vogue.
DR.
HADDASSAH OLAYINKA ALI-YOUNGMAN Pre-PhD BAD BITCH SUPPORT GROUP I wake up an hour early to put on my Fenty Highlighter before my man wakes up.
I'm exhausted, but I can't let Bae see me with my bare face.
I've never been bare faced in front of a man.
What would men do with a woman who takes her cheekbones off every night.
Do they even appreciate that you put them on in the first place ? Is a partner who doesn't appreciate the cheek work deserving of the cheek twerk ? Sydney, just sleep in.
Your face got this.
The baddest I feel is when my man worships at the temple of my natural flat face.
I wish I could have a flat face all the time.
Tina, let Mya finish.
What's going on under that lace front of yours ? Sometimes I wish I was not a Bad Bitch all the time.
Sometimes I wish I was just an Okay Bitch.
We don't use that type of language up in here, bitch.
I wanna wear normal house slippers.
- Not three inch heel house shoes.
- Aye, stop whining.
Being a Bad Bitch is an honor.
This life chose us.
I want to sit down for five minutes without wearing a waist trainer ! - Tryin' to take deep breaths ? - Breathe when you die, honey.
Bitches, please ! Mya, where is this incredibly fucked up feeling coming from ? I saw this lady walkin' down the street without lashes on.
And she didn't seem burdened by the pressures of havin' bald eyes.
- She seemed fine bein' an Okay Bitch.
- How you know that ? She could have been a Bad Bitch with alopecia.
I've seen those.
No, she was an Okay Bitch.
I could tell by her wedges.
There's nothing wrong with being an Okay Bitch.
- This bitch done lost her mind.
- If you're not a basic bitch.
Okay, she found it.
How am I supposed to feel safe in the presence of an aspiring Okay Bitch.
Her attendance undermines the whole notion of the Bad Bitch support group.
You're supposed to be here to support me, and I don't feel supported.
What is happening with Subject 4 ? She seems to have built up an immunity to the Foxycodone.
Double her dosage.
If women start rejecting impossible beauty standards, we'll go out of business.
It isn't safe.
She's already at All-Star weekend levels ! I said double ! What is that ? Is everything okay in there ? Yes.
Keep going.
Must be some Kickball Bitches next door.
Oh, they must have on flat shoes.
7:12 PM: 11 hours and 22 minutes after The Event.
Let me get this straight.
MJ, R.
Kelly, Cosby, cancelled.
I need clarity on the particulars.
Mel Gibson is a racist asshole, but I can still watch "Lethal Weapon" for Danny Glover.
It's like a school group project.
If one person fucks up, everyone gets cancelled.
What about "Mike Tyson Mysteries" ? If he did the time, the cartoon is fine.
The cartoon is not fine.
What if I'm tryin' to get into an empty house, "Naked Gun" is on TV, but it's the scene with OJ ? The burglary is iffy, but OJ on TV ? Turn around and walk right out.
Wait a minute ! Ashley has R.
Kelly on her phone.
"I Believe I Can Fly".
Do you now, Ashley ? I believe you a lie.
Delete ! - It was the Jessica Simpson cover.
- You should've said it was R.
Kelly.
Robin, where's your phone ? You think I'm dumb enough not to hide it ? Quinta's dumb enough.
Is this a GIF of John Travolta looking confused in "Pulp Fiction" ? Weinstein produced that movie.
Delete.
Oh, she broke it.
Bitch.
You gonna die.
I'm going to kill you.
I'm going to kill her ! This is of the utmost importance to national security.
Are you sure you can handle it ? I'm not I work in IT.
I'm not a spy.
It's me.
I'm the agent.
I'm Trinity.
So, yeah.
Trinity is incredible.
Her regular lookin' face makes her nearly invisible in the field.
But she's a real legend.
It's Trinity's birthday.
Can you sign her card ? I'm sitting right here.
You can sign it too.
Just drop it by my desk when you're done.
Make sure not to tell Trinity.
Tell me about the mission.
The syndicate's cover business is a record label called We Do International Crimes Records.
It's pronounced Pew Pew Pew.
We'll need you to gain access to the building.
Their security is tighter than Jada Pinkett's mom's abs.
Last week, a top level agent just walked right in a place like that.
- It was Agent - Trinity.
We need you to obtain a hard drive from Reynaldo Artiste's office.
You may know him as Larceny-o-Hall.
He invented going "skrrt" on records.
He also runs the International Crime Ring.
He has a private security guard who's so off the grid the CIA has not been able to ascertain anything about him.
We've given him a codename.
"Invisible Man.
" The only thing we do know, he's deadly.
He'll never even know I was there.
I know where I know you from.
You're my son's kindergarten teacher.
You know me from meeting me a minute ago.
Here, at the CIA.
I'm in.
You ain't slick ! I see you, Trinity.
Invisible Man is a woman ? A black woman ? Do we know each other ? I've been watching you for a very long time.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Set off any of the sensors and the room will fill with nerve gas.
You'll be dead in 30 seconds.
Good luck, sis.
- You're my evil twin or something ? - Don't flatter yourself.
I actually have a face shape that can carry off this haircut.
- I'm gonna have to kill you now.
- Not if I kill you first.
Wow, you're good.
I haven't had to fight like this in years.
The last time I fought an assassin, he saw some chick - And he just - Wandered away.
Yeah.
Stop fighting.
Do you like working for Reynaldo ? We grew up together, I really care about him.
No matter how good you get at this, he's not gonna notice you.
I know I'm just here for a hard drive.
Give it to me.
Reynaldo goes down alone, and the CIA never hears about you.
I'll give you a 5 minute head start to do what you do best.
Disappear.
Top left drawer.
Damn, she's good.
We're living in the Matrix.
Truth tellers have got to be fearless.
We have to be brave enough to stand up and say we all descended from the Asiatic Black Woman.
Her name was Ermaline.
LEARN TO MATHEMATICIZE AND SCIENCIZE I reject geometry.
It's the Ancient White Man's way of shaping our world.
A triangle's just the white body upside down.
It's top heavy.
LEARN TO DECOLONIZE YOUR THOUGHTS If a white woman stands accused of a crime, she did it.
But if a black woman stands accused, she didn't do that shit.
I saw a sister holding a bloody knife over a dead body yellin', "I murked this nigga !" But as far as I'm concerned, on that day, not nary a nigga was murked.
I'm Dr.
Haddassah Olayinka Ali-Youngman, Pre-PhD.
And this is my Masterclass.
Although I reject the term "master" because I will never be enslaved mentally, physically, nor spiritually, metaphysically, biologically, specifically, pacifically, Michael E.
Lee, Robert E.
Lee, none of the Lees.
She's here ? She shows her face like she didn't break up with me via the comment section of a VenMo transaction.
She act like she can't see me.
Drea, help me get on this table.
Please, don't do this.
I got eight exes in this corner alone and you don't see me causing a scene.
Ooh, this is my shit.
Is she gonna act like we're not gonna get back together 12 times before we break up for good ? The audacity.
The gall.
The temerity.
She gonna do me dirty, I'm gonna take her to the car wash.
Is this nigga copyin' me ? - Are you listenin' ? I'm in crisis.
- Shut up.
This bitch is bitin'.
If I wanted to see drama, I would just watch a Tyler Perry comedy.
I did not watch "Hotline Bling" 42 times to be disrespected like this.
MEANWHILE - I'm sorry, babe.
- Okay, babe.
Let me just get down.
Rollin' the dice ? That's Drea's shit.
Drea ? Drea ? Wake up ! You not even out to your Grams yet, how am I gonna explain you died at a lesbian party, girl ? Wake up ! 2 MINUTES LATER - You sure you're okay ? - Man, I'm Gucci.
I'm not leaving the turn up just because I passed out under mysterious circumstances.
Oh, this is my jam.
Yay ! - Why are you dancin' like that ? - Like what ? Like you not cuttin' a rug, like the rug is cuttin' you.
What's wrong with us ? That bitch literally stole our dance moves ! I told you to get fuel.
We're about to die and you're still worried about your ex ? Bitch, worry about saving the planet.
I'm trying to impress Ggysndi.
Now help me get on this table.
7:15 PM: 11 hours and 25 minutes after The Event.
Delete ! Again ! Oh, she broke it.
Bitch.
You gonna die.
I'm going to kill you.
I'm going to kill you ! When I get free, Gabrielle, you are mad dead ! - Calm down.
It's just a phone.
- It's not the end of the world.
All right.
It is.
My bad.
That's on me.
If you diet on swine, you'll live to only be nine.
Everybody knows it.
If he don't see that cheek work, he can't get that cheek twerk.
Go, boyfriend.
Go, best friend.
I know fish is delicious, but so is family.
Said the Donner Party.
What ? Now I'm making cannibal jokes.
You may know him as Larcenioooo This class is not free, but I do accept EBT.
I have more Shit.
