How to Ruin Love (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

[airplane engine rumbling]
[Zoleka] All this was for me?
Yeah, I planned
the surprise proposal with my family.
This was a rehearsal for the real thing
because I wanted everything to be perfect.
That's why I desperately wanted to meet
your dad so I could ask for his blessing.
But you know what? You're right, Zoleka.
It's a good thing that didn't happen.
[Langa] But we can sort it out
Hey, man. Can we just try
Kagiso, can we just
Hey, you. Come here. Come here. Makgotso!
[Godfrey] No, no, no.
No way, no way, no way!
[Zoleka] Friend? Amahle, my friend.
Please, please let me help you.
[Amahle] Just leave it.
After everything I did to make this day
perfect for you.
Friend, come on.
I can at least help you with your wig.
Leave me alone!
I'm really sorry, my friend. Okay?
Nothing was making any sense.
Huh? First, it was the decor lady,
and then the condom thing
- What is this condom thing?
- It doesn't matter.
And when I called you and Kagiso,
neither of you answered your phones.
Then all of the sudden,
Kagiso is in Durban
when he was supposed to leave much later.
- I was spiraling.
- Oh.
[scoffs] Spiraling? You were spiraling!
And that's why KG tried
to move it up from Valentine's Day.
The guy was freaking out
because you were suspicious.
And you were starting fights.
But why didn't you just tell me?
Do you not get the concept of
a surprise Valentine's proposal?
And just by the way,
we were gonna have a family flash mob.
- [gasps]
- Choreography and all.
But now, look.
I can't believe I did all of this,
only for you to to think
I'm sleeping with your boyfriend.
In all fairness, you do sleep
with other people's partners all the time.
- [Langa] You know she's right? That's
- And what's it to you?
Other people's boyfriends.
But not my best friend's.
Maybe that's what it is.
Maybe we weren't actually best friends.
No, Amahle, don't be like that.
- Friend, you don't mean that.
- [Langa] She's your best friend.
- My friend. Amahle.
- [Langa] Amahle.
- Amahle, my friend.
- Ama Geez, Amahle is dramatic, yeah?
- Hey, what's your problem?
- What do you mean?
Why did you let me come here
in the first place?
[stammers] What do you mean?
- Amahle, my friend!
- I was helping.
- [Ntando] Excuse me, sir.
- [Zoleka] Wait!
- I can see you're busy.
- [Zoleka] Please.
- [stammers] Tell me, who's for paying us?
- I don't know anything about money.
- You can't say that. What about my money?
- Bye-bye.
Don't you run away from me.
You have to pay me!
- Hello. Who's gonna paying me now?
- Yeah!
[Godfrey] She said it.
Zoleka said herself you're a bad writer.
She said I have ideas.
Family, you were all there with me.
I'm sure you all heard her say it, right?
Huh? That I'm a better writer.
- There's a new idea that I want to share
- [all] No! No.
Have something to drink, huh?
[clicks tongue] Old man.
What is everyone's problem? Huh?
I told you this was not the way
to do things.
I said we should put our heads together
- and write a letter to Zoleka's dad.
- [Doreen] Hey.
So you've been waking up every day
and pretending to go to school.
Mom, please.
It wasn't my choice to leave, I failed.
- You failed with my money?
- No! No.
And then you two. Why? I leave my child
with you and next thing, she fails.
Oh, Auntie. Relax, she'll be all right.
Look at how Kagiso turned out.
- I wasn't talking to the return soldier.
- Return to what?
Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm
- Go. Go away, man.
- Okay.
Why on earth didn't you tell us
you were getting divorced?
The same way
you didn't tell us we were in debt.
[stammers] What? I can't hear you.
It's the smell, you see.
All I can smell is cigarettes.
At least I'm better than an old man
who still owes on his house. Imagine!
Papi, why did you gamble away our home?
Hey! You keep your mouth shut.
This house, it is mine.
- Our parents left this house to me.
- To you? Never.
Okay, okay, elders.
I feel like we should
be focusing more on KG.
I mean, he's about to make 33 million!
So, we can buy a new house. [chuckles]
- [grumbles]
- Oh, yeah.
[Omphile] Ouch, Mom.
You are sweating on him.
- [all clamoring]
- Here you go. Have a drink, my boy.
- Let me cool you down.
- Give my son some space.
No. Someone's knocking.
There's someone at the door.
Doreen, stop poking
my son with your nails.
- Come on.
- Give my son some space.
[clears throat] Warning.
Incoming, incoming.
- [all] What's incoming?
- [clears throat]
Huh?
[clears throat]
Hmm.
Um Hello, everyone.
[Doreen] Hmm. [clicks tongue]
I'm so sorry.
Please forgive me.
[stammers] I made a big mistake today.
[Amo chuckles]
Have you noticed that
every time Babalwa apologizes to someone,
the next episode [chuckles]
the person dies.
They're dead. Over.
[Doreen] You know,
your first girlfriend Mapula,
was the real deal, huh?
This one? [scoffs] I'm not so sure.
- Absolutely. That's true.
- Doreen, don't try me.
Since you are here, see,
I've got this new idea.
A woman infiltrates a beauty business
to avenge the wrongs
the owners did to her as a child, and
- That's Savage Beauty.
- That's Savage Beauty, my uncle.
Don't talk nonsense. You're lying.
Don't speak when your elders are speaking.
- My show is called Beauty is Savage.
- Please, just go.
- Mmm. Yes, Zoleka.
- Yes, go.
Since you want to break my nose.
[all clamoring]
You broke my nose.
- You all need to leave. All of you.
- Stop making a big deal out of
- [Papi] Mmm?
- All of you.
Please leave.
[Amo] Oh, I I understand.
I actually understand him
because he's my friend.
Can we please give him some space?
- Hey. the poor guy needs to breathe.
- Poor guy.
- [door opens]
- [Papi sighs]
Son. It's okay.
Let's go, Amo.
[whispers] Everyone.
- Thanks for going.
- [door closes]
[laughs]
My buddy, my pal.
Ah, thirty-three million!
My brother, we're rich now.
Things are coming together.
Moving, shaking.
Where should we start now, huh?
Huh? Things are on.
- You need to leave.
- [laughs]
You're joking, right?
Oh. Me too?
I thought you meant them.
[sighs]
It's bad.
If I were you, I'd go sleep, Babalwa.
Our father was a gambler.
He ended up taking loans
against the house.
[sighs] So I inherited his debt.
And then after, I lost my job.
I had to refinance the house
to keep helping everybody
who is a Phatudi,
including your daughter.
Tell me,
how much trouble are we really in?
Well, they want to repossess the house.
[stammers] Okay. Fine.
I can pay off the debt.
But just know,
when I've paid off the house,
half the house is mine.
Over my dead body.
You're not going to do that.
So, you'd rather lose the house, Papi?
Khutso. You know this woman has no heart.
Just wait and see. Doreen is going to
kick everyone out of the house.
[Doreen] Well, what do you expect, Papi?
That I'm going to allow
you people to keep mooching off me?
Never.
You have a problem.
You can't manage your money.
That's why you're always broke.
I don't need your money. I'll fix it.
That's my house, Doreen!
Hmm.
Hmm.
- [Khutso sucks teeth]
- [Papi] Katlego.
Did Kagiso mention
when that 33 million is coming through?
[sighs]
- [Zoleka] You've cheated on me with her?
- Zoleka, maybe if you just
- You're full of shit, you hear?
- Zoleka, stop!
- Oh, Zoleka! Hey!
- [Makgotso] No!
- You're full of shit, you hear?
- Zoleka, stop!
- Oh, Zoleka! Hey!
- [Makgotso] No!
[Omphile] Hey, girl.
[sighs, clears throat]
- [inhales sharply] Please can I have some?
- No, Omphile.
Ah, but, Makgotso, please?
- [scoffs]
- Makgotso, I am traumatized.
Do you know what's happening?
My mom and dad are fighting,
we might be losing our house,
and don't forget,
my mom took away my vape.
Please?
Only one sip, Omphile.
Just one.
- [Makgotso sighs]
- [giggles]
You know, I was rooting for KG and Zoleka.
She really did break my brother's heart.
And I hope she sees flames for that.
Mmm. Maybe she will.
- [phone chimes]
- [Omphile] And on the bright side,
the nice thing with this app deal
is that I can get a MacBook,
you know what I'm saying?
- Hey! Omphile.
- [exclaims]
If your mom finds you drinking,
you'll see what trauma really is.
- But, Makgotso
- Come on.
She's not here.
["Searching" plays]
- [phone buzzes, chimes]
- [snoring]
- [sighs] Zoleka.
- [phone buzzes]
- Zoleka, if you don't answer your phone
- Mmm.
I'm gonna throw it in the ocean.
This is why I don't share rooms
with people, I swear.
- Your phone. [scoffs]
- [scoffs]
[phone chimes, buzzes]
- Hey, wake up!
- [grunts]
- It's online.
- Hmm?
It's online, the whole thing. It's online.
What am I going to do? [sighs]
Now I'm really going to lose my job.
- No, you're not.
- I'm really going to lose my job.
Look.
Do what any self-respecting
Xhosa woman would do right now.
You lie.
Sbu, I am fucked!
The investors saw the video.
- I could lose everything.
- [Sbu] Okay, we can spin this.
But first, get your cousin
to take that video down.
And I am so sorry, Lethabo.
I promise you. Nothing is more important
to me than the show.
[Sbu] Hello?
- [Lethabo] Hello?
- Something more important just came up.
[Lethabo] Excuse me?
[Sbu] Hello? Kagiso?
- Dude, are you there?
- [Kagiso] Listen, schedule the meeting.
I'm coming back to Joburg.
[Zoleka] Kagiso, can we please
Can we just
["Nomakanjani" plays]
[Kagiso] Uh, guys. Gents, gents.
You know leaks happen all the time
in the tech industry. All the time.
And sometimes it's just part
of the the marketing
- Uh Strategy. You know?
- Strategy.
To get the people talking
about the new product, guys.
Apple does it. Microsoft does it.
Google does it. Everybody does it.
- Everybody does it. Everybody.
- [Sbu] Everyone.
And And you know what else?
There's nothing more
that South Africans love
- than a celeb scandal.
- Mmm.
Right now, everyone wants
to know who I sold the app to.
- That's marketing. You know?
- Yeah, good point.
I mean I mean, the Joost and Amor video.
That went viral.
- I still have that video.
- Yeah. Hey, listen, Karabo.
- We
- [Sbu exclaims] Kagiso.
- Excuse me. Sorry, sorry, Kagiso.
- No disrespect.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- No disrespect, bra.
- It's fine.
- In the words of Siya Kolisi,
"We need to be stronger together
right now." Okay?
We're not upset. We're just saying
we're a little bit disappointed
because this wasn't part
of the rollout plan.
Yeah, well, neither was me
losing out on 33 million.
[investor] Nah, that's small change, man.
What Kagiso means is that
the exposing of the deal doesn't really
impact your bottom line, guys.
- But it impacts the fuck out of mine.
- [investor] Okay.
- Okay. We need to
- It does, though.
Feel free to jump in, Johan.
- Feel free to jump in.
- Okay, okay.
I think we should just put the deal on ice
just until further notice.
- [Sbu] No. No. Do you know
- [Johan] I agree.
Do you know what needs more ice, guys?
Some drinks, right?
Let's just have some shots.
- Let's have fun, right? Huh?
- Hey, this guy. [chuckles]
No, no. Hello, hi. No, no, guys.
You leave me with no choice
but to go shop this app somewhere else.
[exclaims] Mmm.
Ooh, this is awkward.
You need to read the contract, bro.
- Didn't you send him the contract?
- I sent you the contract on WhatsApp.
- He sent it on WhatsApp.
- Didn't you see it?
There's like a cool-off period.
So, you actually can't sell
the app to anyone for six months.
Yikes.
Okay, shots.
Have a shot.
- Yes, let's have shots, guys.
- [Kagiso exclaims]
Sbu. Can I get a drink?
- Just give me the whole thing.
- Hey, you want a samosa?
I don't want a samosa. Just
- Have fun.
- Give me the whole damn thing.
- Valentine's Day from hell this year.
- [Sbu] Okay, guys.
Ah, come on. Let's think about this
for a second.
["I Need Some Money" plays]
[Katlego] Sicelo,
I'm letting you know it's done.
I told the family about the divorce.
So please, just know it's happening.
[door opens, closes]
- [Khutso] Katlego. Katlego, wait.
- Uh, Mom.
Katlego, just wait a bit.
I wanted us to talk
about your situation with Sicelo.
[Katlego] Oh, no, no.
There's nothing to talk about.
But we waited ten long years
for you to get married.
Now, after one year of marriage,
you want to throw it all away.
And you took vows, Katlego.
Yeah. And vows should never be broken.
- Wow.
- [Khutso] Wow.
Mr. Uber. You want a rating?
Yeah Sorry, sorry, sorry.
[scoffs] Mom, Sicelo and I agreed
to not have kids.
Now, all of a sudden,
he's changed his mind and wants a kid.
- Katlego! You don't want kids?
- Uh-uh.
- Children are a blessing.
- Oh, really?
How? [scoffs]
And when did you start smoking?
Before or after kids?
[Khutso] Okay, I get it.
You guys do stress me out,
but you're the best thing
that has ever happened to me in my life.
This is why I didn't wanna
tell you and Dad.
I knew you'd try to convince me to stay.
Uh-uh.
Okay, tell me this. Do you still love him?
Of course, I do.
But why should women be the ones
to compromise all the time?
Huh? We put men first all the time.
It's men, it's men, it's men.
When will we be first?
Look at you, Mom.
You almost lost your house.
- Because of what? Because of a man. Dad.
- [sighs]
I'm sorry. I I have to go.
- [Uber driver exclaims]
- [stutters]
Madam. Smoking at your old age?
- Rate him one star. Give him one star.
- Sorry, sorry, madam.
- You should know your place.
- [Katlego] Bye, Mom.
A grown man like you,
eavesdropping like this?
- [Uber driver] I was joking, madam.
- [Katlego] Bye-bye, Mom.
- [Uber driver] Lighten up, madam.
- [Katlego] Oh, she will.
Channel is pissed.
- Yeah.
- Mmm.
We were on a Zoom call for hours.
- Well, a real one this time.
- [groans]
So, are you still killing me off?
We weren't going to kill Babalwa.
Okay, your boyfriend asked us
to give you some time off
so that you can go get proposed to
and have a romantic getaway.
- [whispers] Oh, shit.
- That's why you didn't get any scripts
for the first block of Season 2.
So, I'm still on the show?
Yeah, but you ruined the entire thing.
Now everyone knows
somebody "killed" Babalwa.
Do you know how long
it took us to come up with that ending?
An afternoon.
Exactly. An entire afternoon.
What if
What if we use this?
I mean, I could go on my Twitter
and start a poll.
And then people could come in and
vote for who they think killed Babalwa.
Look, your social media is popping,
but we need something bigger.
What about a full campaign?
Uh, promos with the prime suspects.
- [Lethabo] Hmm.
- [Thabo] Hmm.
- Yeah?
- [Thabo] #WhoKilledBabalwa.
- [Lethabo] Hmm.
- [Thabo] I can see it.
- I like it.
- Yeah.
Yeah, let's get on that right away.
Great. So, I still have my job?
Mmm.
- Oh! Okay! Yay!
- What's happening?
We still have a show!
We still have a show!
- Bring it in!
- [exclaiming]
Hey, uh-uh. Thabiso does not do touching.
Right. Sorry. Yeah.
I I I got too excited there.
[chuckles]
Sorry. [clears throat]
[Lethabo] Okay. Um, I think we need
to move on this ASAP.
You know, strike
while it's still trending.
Look, I think we could probably,
like what, shoot in about three days?
Uh, three days?
That That's Valentine's Day.
Aren't you Aren't you single?
Valentine's Day is just
a normal day to you.
I'm not single.
[laughing]
[Lethabo] Oh, honey.
- We all saw the video.
- [laughing]
Yeah, your relationship is dead.
[laughing]
- "I'm not single."
- [laughing]
[laughing continues]
Surprise.
So?
What do you think?
Kagiso. I I know I went crazy.
But you threw me off
when you suddenly told me
that you don't wanna get married.
I was trying to throw you off
the surprise I planned.
Okay, well you're a terrible liar.
Like, really, really bad.
You broke my heart, Kagiso.
I'm sorry.
You see how it's written here?
"I'm sorry."
I'm also sorry.
"Please forgive me."
Please forgive me.
Beauty started speaking about marriage
and I panicked.
Yeah. Me too.
Especially when I found that damn condom.
- Condom? What condom?
- [sighing]
You know what? It doesn't matter.
The point is Whoa! Whoa!
[laughs]
- It's this damn dress.
- Yeah.
- Mmm? You like what you see?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
[Kagiso exhales sharply]
Have you been drinking?
Yes.
Yes. Yeah, yes. Azul.
Do you know it?
It has a bell.
- Okay.
- Mmm.
That's fine. You know what?
I just want us to start afresh.
Hmm?
Let's just forget the past few days.
- Let's just forget the past few days?
- Start afresh.
- And Oh, start afresh.
- Yeah.
Okay, so I must forget
I lost my app deal because of you?
- Are you serious?
- Yes, I'm serious.
- [Kagiso exclaims]
- Okay, okay.
Okay, my love, we can We can fix this.
No.
I'm tired of your plans.
I'm tired of you trying to fix everything.
It's just You
No.
You can't fix this one.
Kagiso.
- Well, this is all for you.
- Oh, and one more thing.
You really canceled our dinner date
with your father because of one fight?
Because you said
you didn't want to get married.
And what about
the three years before that?
I mean, why why did it take you so long
for you to introduce me to him?
Thought so.
- I mean, if you want to change your mind
- Bye!
Okay.
[door unlocks]
Uncle, look. Just look.
See how many views I have.
120,000, Uncle.
- Yeah. Nice, nice.
- Look.
Hey. Baby girl, if you keep this up,
I can make serious money.
I can already see myself
in a Mercedes-Benz.
Serious money, my sister,
you know you could never make enough
- to save you from your mom.
- No, Omphile.
- [Doreen] Baby!
- Huh?
It's like the dinosaur
knew we were talking about her.
Makgotso. Up, up, up, up, up.
Hey. My girl, pack your things.
Pack everything because you and I
are gonna get in the car
and we'll do this, just like this,
we'll do this on the N1 to Pretoria.
You are here for school,
- but you're not going to school.
- [gasps]
Hey, Doreen, let the child be.
She's happy here, man.
Khutso. What's going on?
Katlego was right.
I can't live with a man
who keeps things from me.
But my love, I've fixed that problem.
And Kagiso is going
to help us with this new money.
What more do you want?
You know what the worse thing is, Papi?
You don't understand why I'm hurt.
If I can forgive you for smoking,
why can't you forgive me?
- Papi, man, what
- [grunts]
What are you doing?
You're crazy for doing this.
You are crazy if you think you can
just leave me after all of these years.
O-Okay. Khutso. Khutso.
Please.
If you no longer love me, it's fine.
I have enough love.
We'll use it to sustain this marriage.
Look, look, look. Look, baby.
I will hot spot you.
Stay in your house, Papi.
This is your house, remember?
So you can stay here without me.
[sighs, pants]
Listen to how you're breathing.
- See, the dangers of smoking.
- [Khutso sucks teeth]
[Khutso clicks tongue]
- Mom, and now?
- You'll understand one day.
Sister.
Sister!
- [Doreen snickering]
- No, Mom.
- Wow.
- Whoa.
Now I have to kick balloons around.
This is why I don't like romance.
Who is supposed to clean this?
No, man.
Move, move, move.
Hey, you know. Let me tell you.
Dad? Dad is in the shit.
They're losing the house.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Hey. It's trouble.
- More trouble I didn't need.
It's like there's always something.
[scoffs]
The app deal was going
to change our lives forever.
- Yeah.
- Geez.
Shame, man. I really wish
that I could help you, you know,
but my money is still tied up with Sicelo.
You know we're married
in community of property.
It really has me by the neck.
I also had some money saved up
with Zoleka to buy some land,
but I guess I won't need that now.
So the land can go. It's all gone.
[Katlego] Hmm.
Just let me have a sip of that.
My brother, whatever you do,
just make sure you don't take
that girl back ever again.
And then after taking her back,
you have mind-blowing sex on the couch,
and you end up
forgetting all your problems.
And then you just wanna
get back together
Hey, Katlego.
The condom Zoleka found was yours, huh?
- Condom?
- The condom was yours!
You're the reason she thought
I was cheating.
- Uh-uh.
- Don't deny it.
Your relationship ended a long time ago.
I didn't do anything.
Hey, hey. Stop saying no. You're busy
having sex everywhere on my couch.
Okay, okay, fine. [groans]
[exhales sharply] I just love him. Okay?
But I don't understand
why I always have to compromise
on everything that I want in life.
- And for what? For love?
- Love is compromise. Don't you understand?
- [knock on door]
- You and your romance.
Listen, listen, listen.
If it's Zoleka If it's Zoleka,
tell her I don't want to see her.
- That makes two of us.
- Yeah.
[Katlego] Coming!
- Gosh, Katlego.
- Mother?
What took you so long to open the door?
What's going on with you?
And this?
- What's happening?
- [Kagiso] It's a long story.
Listen here. I've left your father.
So, I am going to live with you.
Understood?
Mmm. Thank you.
[Katlego] Wow. Did you see that?
If love can show flames to those
who survived apartheid,
what hope is there for us?
[Zoleka] He was so angry.
He didn't even want to listen.
- Hey. I ruined everything.
- [exclaims]
What you need is a little pause.
And you know you have the tendency
of doing the first thing
that comes to your mind, you know?
- I get that, but what should I do?
- Mm-hmm.
I've run out of time now.
I'm going to have to bring out
the big guns.
- Zoleka.
- I'll ask for Dad's help
What the hell is this?
Huh?
- Simphiwe sent me this.
- Of course, he did.
Apparently, it's on
the advocates group chat.
Advocates that sit before me.
They're laughing on there.
Laughing at my child.
Laughing at me.
Tell me, my child.
If your mother was still alive,
would she be proud of you?
- [Auntie] Brother.
- [Dad] Hmm?
Please go talk to your child, Brother.
Please.
[Dad] My child. Wait, Zo.
Zoleka.
- I'm sorry, my child. I'm sorry.
- No, no, no. I-I get it.
- I shouldn't have said that.
- I get it.
You're right, maybe if Mom was
still alive, she wouldn't have been proud.
I'm embarrassed too.
Would you have said yes to a man
that I've never even laid eyes on?
He wanted to meet you, Dad.
He wanted to come here
and get your blessing,
but I messed up.
Oh, my child.
Which is why I need your help.
If you could just speak to them.
[scoffs] No ways, my child.
I should go speak to that family?
- [clicks tongue]
- [Dad] One that embarrassed you in public?
- No way. That's not happening. Forget it.
- Hey. Dad, Dad, Dad, I'm begging you.
It doesn't have to be something big.
It can be just like a
A small casual lunch between two families.
So, the Dzanas should go to the Phatudis
instead of the Phatudis
coming to the Dzanas
to state their intentions about you?
Since when have you ever been
this traditional?
I respect tradition, my child,
even if I don't have a kraal.
Okay. I hear you.
But what if we use your golf estate? Hmm?
You'll have home ground advantage.
- No.
- Dad, I'm begging you.
[sighs] I want to fix things.
And you know how
I've always wanted the same love
and happiness that you experienced
with Mom.
I mean, don't you want that for me?
Okay.
- Really?
- Fine.
- [exclaims] Okay, okay.
- Don't get carried away now, my child.
Sorry. [sighs]
We can organize a lunch
but how will you get them to agree?
I heard what you said
about that family in the video.
Okay, so the plan is to get
the Phatudis to see just how sorry I am.
But you can't tell your family
that they're meeting up with my family,
otherwise, they won't come.
I just need you to convince them
to show up. Can you do that?
Like, why would I help you, Zoleka,
when you are the drama?
Do you know that my mom moved out
because of you?
No. I I didn't know that.
But But this meeting is going
to force them to come together.
And then when they see me fighting
for Kagiso,
it'll remind them to fight for their love.
And then your mom can come back home.
[scoffs]
Okay, fine, I'll get you a MacBook.
- I'm not sure, Omphile, my child.
- Mama, you left me.
And I've always known that you love
your firstborns more than me.
I didn't leave you, my baby.
I left your father.
But, Mama, I'm here too.
Me too.
Okay, um
You could maybe come
spend a few days with us.
- Come for a visit.
- Uh-uh. No, no, no, no.
No, Mommy.
Please. I just want
to spend time with you. Please.
Look. Let's have lunch tomorrow, huh?
Like a mother and daughter date.
Please?
Okay. [sighs] What time, my child?
This idea of tricking Mom
into meeting Dad.
- Trick?
- Yes, it's a trick.
- No, it's not.
- Then what is it?
How am I supposed to sleep
with her snoring all night?
I bet you couldn't do it.
All I hear is [snores]
Uh-uh, I can't.
I need my privacy. Gosh.
Privacy in whose house? Privacy where?
- You know nothing about privacy.
- And you?
Don't worry, I'll bring Mom.
Let's leave him out of it.
[Omphile] No, no, no, no.
All five of us have to be there.
Why, Omphile? Tell me why.
This is for Mom and Dad.
What do we have to do with it?
[cries] Kagiso.
Kagiso, but why? Why?
Why do I feel like I'm the only one
that cares about this family, huh?
You and Katlego grew up with both parents.
But what about me? Hey, guys?
Now you never give me, Kagiso. [whimpers]
You never give me, Kagiso.
You never give me.
- [sighs]
- Okay, fine. Gosh.
What time then, you annoying whiner?
[Omphile] Dad.
- I've got news. Please move over.
- [grunts]
- You've got what?
- I've got news.
So, Mama decided to have a family meeting.
She said she just She really
wants you guys to mend your differences.
- Khutso said that?
- Yes!
I mean, the lunch was even her idea.
- You serious?
- Everything starts tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.
- I knew it.
- [laughs]
I knew that woman couldn't live
without me.
Right. Even I can't live without you.
- Oh, Dad. My dad.
- Oh, my baby. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
["Mpitse" plays]
[song continues]
[tires screech]
[song stops]
- [Papi] There we go.
- [Omphile] All right?
- [Papi] Yes.
- What the hell?
- That's it. Hey, Khutso.
- And now?
- [Godfrey] My sister.
- What are you doing here?
Oh. Uh
Omphile told me
that you want us to get back together.
No, I never spoke that nonsense.
- No, no, Dad.
- When did I say that?
Mom, please listen to what Dad has to say.
- Let's go.
- Mom, look.
The purpose of this family lunch
is so that you and Dad can talk.
- So you can fix things.
- There we go. Thank you, my child.
Don't worry.
I'm here
and I will be your trusted mediator.
So, you lied to me
about the mother and daughter lunch?
- Ouch, Mama!
- Mama!
But I wouldn't have to lie if
you guys spoke to each other like adults.
Please take me home now.
I don't want to be here.
But just Khutso, Khutso, Khutso.
Please, I'm begging you, my love.
- Don't be like that. Please.
- Yeah.
Good. Good.
Now the communication lines are open.
- Please take me home.
- No, you can't go!
Because Zoleka and her family
will be here any second.
- What?
- [all] What?
- [Omphile] Surprise!
- You and Zoleka planned this whole thing
to bring us here together?
What's wrong with you?
- She promised me a MacBook.
- A Mac? Wow.
And you wouldn't get it for me.
We wouldn't be here, and she
[all clamoring]
Phatudis! Hey, Phatudis!
- What is it, Godfrey?
- Zoleka's family is here.
[Papi] Oh.
[Zoleka] Good afternoon. [chuckles]
We're launching.
- Did she say we're launching?
- Mm-mmm.
I'm just glad you're all here.
Hey, Mr. Dzana. Sir, uh
Judge. Your worship. Lord.
Advocate on the stool of the highest
chair in court and members of parliament.
- I
- Chill. Chill.
Shh. Um,
I want you to know I'm a big fan.
I've read all your judgments, sir.
Um, I think we can all appreciate what
the kids, you know, are trying to do here.
Bringing the family together.
Despite the fact that they weren't
supposed to do it this way.
But anyway, we're here now.
It would be disrespectful if we just left.
Hello, everyone.
Sicelo, what are you doing here?
- Katlego and her man again.
- Why am I here? I'm here for you.
For what?
Because I got the message on
the siblings' WhatsApp group, baby.
I'm going to remove you from WhatsApp.
You're in every group.
- Yes, because I'm family, right?
- Oh, it's okay.
The more, the merrier.
- Uh-huh. The more, the merrier.
- Let's go in.
We're not going with them.
Tell me what you want here.
- No, babe. Let's go.
- Mm-mmm, baby.
- What do you want?
- What do I want?
- Come on. Where are we going?
- Let's go talk.
- Over there. Let's go over there.
- What's over there?
Mm-mmm. Come.
[Sicelo] I can't stop thinking
about the other night.
The other night?
The other night was a mistake.
- I'm a mistake?
- No, no, no, not you. The
You know You know how I get
after some wine.
- [clicks tongue]
- I get frisky somehow.
Uh-uh, no, it wasn't the wine.
It's us.
And you know that.
Look.
I know I said that I want children.
I know I said that, but
[sighs]
We-We-We don't have to.
As long as I have you.
- Sicelo, you're confusing me.
- About what?
What about legacy?
"Expanding your family."
Those were your words. Did you forget?
Yes.
Hey, we're happy. We're happy
without kids right now, right?
- Yes, we're happy.
- Yeah.
But I'm not happy without you, babe.
I need you.
[moaning]
- [Katlego exclaims]
- Let's go in there. Let's go.
- Let's go in. Go in. Go in.
- No. No.
- Go in. Go.
- [shrieking] Sicelo! Wait!
[Auntie] Thank you so much for
indulging our child Zoleka here.
And, uh, thank you all so much
for staying.
Did you all see Oh, my word.
Did you see what happened on Twitter?
Whoa! Look at me calling it Twitter.
Have you seen X?
No one gets canceled forever.
- Okay, Auntie. Auntie.
- Do you remember when they canceled
Thank you. Please sit down. Mmm.
Thank you very much.
[clears throat]
First things first.
I want you to please forgive Omphile.
- It's not her fault, none of this. Please.
- [mouthing words]
Um, I just want our family
to get to know each other.
And for me to get the opportunity to fix
whatever damage that I may have caused.
I lost the man that I love
and the family that I've come to adore.
And I'm really sorry
that you lost your app deal
because of what I said.
- I truly
- What?
- [Papi] Kagiso? Kagiso?
- Oh, no. Not the 33 million. No.
I hadn't told them yet.
[stammers] Wait a minute. So, what now?
[stammers] You mean
we're going to lose the house?
[Godfrey] No ways, no ways, Brother.
No one is going to lose the house.
[stammers] We are going to use
my TV show's ideas to save you.
Zolkie. You are taking them
to Netflix and make money.
You're saying this boy
has no financial security?
- [Zoleka] Dad, stop.
- [Papi] What the hell?
- Are you
- [Khutso] My goodness, this man.
I'll ask our children
to give us some space
so the elders can speak.
[Zoleka] Kagiso.
Wait now, Omphile.
[Zoleka] Kagiso.
Can we talk?
Why would you not speak to me first
before involving my whole family in this?
How could I?
Because you weren't speaking to me.
- And that's why I brought my dad here.
- To do what exactly?
To prove to me
that you think I'm good enough?
To prove how much you mean to me.
To both you and my father.
He doesn't approve of me.
- He will once he gets to know you.
- Mmm.
Hey, hey.
I love you.
Even though I'm not financially secure?
I've been with a woman who didn't think
that was good enough. I can't do it again.
I'm not Mapula, Kagiso.
You and I have been at this
since we had nothing.
Since the days that you and Amo
were making deliveries.
[chuckles]
And you were still waiting
for your big break.
We built our dreams together.
And we can do it again.
If your family forgives me,
can you?
[Papi] Who do you think you are?
You're saying my son is not enough
for your daughter?
You have failed your son as a father.
[Auntie] Martin.
How do you even allow
this proposal to happen?
Even worse, you take part in it.
And what kind of
a self-respecting man does that?
Hey, what kind of a father raises a child
who is classist and disrespectful,
like this thing?
[Auntie] She's not a thing.
Don't be so rude.
Hey, wait a minute.
You're the rude one. Hey!
You know,
your child can't even cook anything.
Something as simple as pap.
- Pap, pap, pap!
- [Godfrey] Just pap!
[exclaims] Our son needs a wife
who will be able to take care of him.
Exactly.
[Martin] My daughter doesn't deserve this.
A boy who can't support her.
[Papi] We're leaving. Brother, let's go.
- Kagiso. Leave this girl alone.
- Please stay.
Let's go, my child.
Look. I'm going to find you a nice girl
who respects you and can cook properly.
Right, my child?
- Leave her alone! Leave her alone.
- So sorry.
You! You! You are lucky.
- I would have taken you on. I will.
- No, Godfrey, man.
- Why do you act like that?
- I wanted to show him
We can't be disrespected like that.
- [exclaims] No, Godfrey.
- Show him who we are!
What happened, Dad? Hmm?
Dad, I'm talking to you.
I asked you to do one little thing.
I asked you to do one little thing
and you couldn't do that for me.
Zoleka.
You should be thanking me, my child,
because I've just protected you
from making the biggest mistake
of your life.
And if you continue
with this relationship,
and somehow convince
this boy to propose to you again,
don't involve me.
And when have you ever
been involved in my life?
Just know that I am done with you.
Do you hear me, Dad?
[sighs]
Brother
No, man, Kagiso. Stop sulking.
You're boring me.
I mean, come on. Let's have fun.
You love this place.
I can't believe I lost the deal
and the woman that I love in two days.
[Katlego] Listen to me.
Everything happens for a reason.
Until we know what that reason is,
let's kick back and have a few drinks.
Hey? And you'll be happy to know
Sicelo and I fixed things between us,
so I'll be moving out.
- Oh. You're growing up.
- Mmm. Yeah, I am. I'm an adult.
Good times. Cheers.
[chuckles]
- [gasp] Kagi! Katlego!
- [Katlego screams]
[screaming]
- [Katlego] Girl of the day.
- [both] Girl of the night!
- [Katlego] Oh, my word, friend. My gosh.
- [friend] It's you.
Uh-uh, Kagiso. Don't be rude, okay?
Stop sulking and say hi to Mapula, huh?
- Hey.
- [Mapula] Hey, Kagi.
- It's been a while.
- [chuckles] I know.
[both] Hey?
- Yeah, it's been a minute.
- [Katlego] Join us.
Oh, no. I can't, friend.
I'm here with my colleagues.
But I'm sure they wouldn't mind
me having a drink.
- Or two!
- Or three.
- Or four.
- Or five.
[both laughing]
So, maybe she's the reason, hey?
Otherwise, mmm
How are things with the actress
Um, what's her name? Anyway,
I don't follow celebrity news, so
- Oh, wow, girl. They broke up.
- No.
- I know. Shame.
- [Mapula] No.
- [Mapula] I'm so sorry.
- [Katlego] Mmm. Yeah.
And what about you and Sicelo?
You're okay?
Uh-uh. Friend, don't ask about me
people who aren't here, okay?
Let's have fun.
You know that whenever I see you, I think
about how we could've been sisters.
- Hey? Sister.
- [Kagiso] Hmm?
Sister-in-law. Sisterbelle.
- [Kagiso] Really?
- Mmm.
Did you think the same thing when Mapula
thought I was wasting time with the app?
Oh, well, you proved me wrong.
- I mean, 33 million is a lot of money.
- [Katlego] Right?
Oh, I thought you didn't
keep up with celeb gossip.
[grunts]
Why are you like this?
- Um, drinks.
- Drinks!
- [Katlego] Shots!
- Shots!
- One tequila?
- Two tequila.
- Three tequila! [exclaims, laughs]
- [Mapula] Four!
Look, Kagi.
I'm really sorry about you and Zoleka.
I mean, if it means anything,
I'm also single, so
Really?
And you were so sure you were
gonna find someone better than me.
Yeah, well, you know what they say.
You don't know what you have
until it's gone.
And you know, sometimes I think about
how things could've been different
if I actually believed in you.
Yeah. Me too.
- [Mapula] Yeah.
- [Kagiso] Mmm.
[exhales sharply]
[sighs]
Okay.
Hey, baby.
Baby!
Babe!
I'm home.
[exhales sharply]
- [Mapula] Zoleka.
- What are you doing here?
