We are just trying to pass the time, not kill each other.
- Next round, no fancy rules.
- A perfectly reasonable compromise.
- That I refuse to participate in.
- Overreacting in a calm demeanor.
Get your Uno out ass back in the game.
Is "trips and dubs" really the hill you want to die on ? - That's racist.
- Not racist.
Not racist alert.
"The hill you want to die on" comes from soldiers who Let me open your eyes to the history of Baldwin Hills.
Also known as the Black Beverly Hills.
The neighborhood was built as the first Olympic Village to house black and white athletes together.
White people saw it as forced integration and were determined to punish the affluent black residents who settled there after the Olympics.
So white engineers built the Baldwin Hills Dam on an active fault line.
So it was no surprise then when a massive crack formed in the dam, flooding the area with 250 million gallons of water.
Killing five people.
The local news broadcast the whole disaster from helicopters.
They wanted to make sure the world saw black people die on those hills.
- Is that true ? That can't be true.
- That's so fucked up.
- Uno ! - Bitch, cheating ass.

So shall we not part because stans are triflin'.
'Less you denounce your fandom, our family won't work.
For whom, dear Rome, would our children twerk ? In truth, my love, we can never kick it.

- I know.
Every time I get dumped, here comes Patti LaBelle with all her octaves.

"New Attitude" is my leg day song.
You are a legend, Patti.
An annoying legend.
Patti, get out ! Don't you talk to Miss Patti like that ! Denise, you know what you have to do to get me to leave.

She magicked here.
- Secondly, she's ruining my life ! - Where are my backup singers ? Yup.
And then she did that.
But it once was so easy.
- Hey, Denise.
- Girl, I like your haircut.
I believed in love Now here I stand.
If Patti LaBelle showed up every time I got dumped, I'd try to get dumped.
One time I got dumped in a fancy restaurant.
- She gave a whole fucking concert.
- And it was excellent.
Leave me alone, Patti LaBelle ! Excuse me.
That was a good one.
I like him better than the last guy.

Find some real love, sugar.
Don't you have, like, gigs ? Like a legends ball to attend ? Miss Patti, please respect my privacy and leave ! I didn't even love him.
God damn it, your voice is amazing.
Obviously it's very special that we have this connection.
But I don't need this.
I'm fine.
I've got to learn to be strong again.
I guess it's sad, but it was time for this to end.
I have faith that I will shine again.

I'll see you soon.
She never leaves until I break down and sing with her.

Going to sleep.
TASKMASTER INSECURITY TURN - A man on our stoop.
- We're gonna get catcalled.
We don't want to be one of those black women who assumes the worst of black men.
The only thing I'm assuming is that we bad and that niggas wanna get at us 'cause of who we are.
Hopefully, he won't even notice us.
What if he doesn't notice us ? Nigga's just out here not noticing bad bitches with all this ass ? Are we bad or slightly disobedient ? There is nothing in the schedule about a dude.
We go home, microwave one and a half Hot Pockets, and watch "Marriage Boot Camp.
" You can't DVR a fine nigga's attention.
Let's twerk for him.
The only thing worse than being catcalled is an unnoticed twerk.
What happens to a twerk unnoticed ? Does it dry up like a raisin ? We're moving "find a therapist" to the top of the to-do list.
- I just moved up "twerk for a stranger.
" - What if we just moved ? - We don't like our apartment.
- We are not moving, nor twerking ! - Now we have to pee.
We need to go ! - Fuck it.

He called us "ma.
" Do we look matronly ? Look him dead in his eyes and say this We can read any magazine and be told no one wants us.
You got us to clench-twerk-walking by you.
We don't want to get catcalled, also, to not get catcalled.
We can't win ! Ma, your skirt caught in your drawers.
You don't feel that ? She's really like, your breath is strong What do I do if my wife calls the hotel ? Don't answer.
