[music]
You want to answer me?
How do you even know that?
Because she's outside,
moving in right now.
-Shit.
-Yeah.
She introduced herself to me.
Okay.
Okay, just let me
explain myself.
Valerie signed her a lease.
Valerie?
Yes, the realtor.
-Zac, she can't do that.
-Yes, she can.
Her and I signed a deal
that she'll be able to
just sign a lease,
as long as I saw
the person in person,
and I signed off on it.
Saw the person in person
and signed off, I got it.
I met her before the party.
And I did not know that
she was a stripper.
Oh.
That wasn't on the application?
No.
Yeah, whatever.
It said she was a nail tech,
I'm not lying!
Zac, you're full of shit.
I'm not, Fatima!
I'm serious.
You know what?
I'm getting my things.
No, no, no! Don't do this!
Don't do this, come on.
You know I wouldn't
do that to you,
I was just upset last night.
I was trying to
blow off some steam,
and my boys were at me.
Okay?
-Your boys?
-Yes.
Nate and Tony,
they was just in my head.
Just sayin' all sorts of shit.
Like what?
It don't even matter.
It don't.
-About me?
-No, no, no, no, no, baby.
No, it wasn't about you.
It wasn't.
It was just about, about me.
It was about the situation.
About us living together.
Got it.
Okay, well, you know what, Zac?
I can make that
real easy for you.
No!
No, no, Fatima
-I can.
-No, don't do it! Come on.
What?
I fucked up, okay?
But you fucked up, too!
If you would have told me
that ol' boy was sick,
I would have understood.
But you didn't even say nothin'!
I asked.
-Would you have?
-Yes, I would've.
Zac, you couldn't even give me
the benefit of the doubt.
You had to assume I was
doin' somethin' wrong?
I would not do you like that.
I know, baby.
I know, I know.
No.
And yet, you would still
do that to me.
I wouldn't.
Really?
You're full of shit.
No, I wouldn't.
And I'm not full of shit.
Zac
Okay.
I messed up, okay?
I did.
My boys was in my head,
and I went to blow off
some steam.
Come on, I was thinkin'
about him,
and thinkin' about you,
and I just wanted to get that
out of my head.
I know, I know.
Okay? I fucked up.
But you fucked up too.
-And you not movin' out.
-Yes, I am.
No, you gonna be
this hardheaded about this?
-I'm not being hardheaded!
-Yes, you are!
I know you.
I know your heart.
-Come on.
-No, Zac.
Come on!
I'll make a deal with you.
You know, I like a good deal.
Okay, what's up?
What's up? Talk to me.
Talk to me.
Whatever.
-Anything I want?
-[Zac] Anything.
-Come on. What's up?
-Okay.
Cancel her lease,
and put her ass out.
-How we get there, though?
-I know her.
You know her, too?!
You know every
I know her type!
And guess what?
One month she not gonna
have the rent.
Guess what she gon' try
to do for it. Fuck you.
And then I'ma have
to kill the bitch.
Fatima
You want me to go to jail?
No.
Then she gotta go.
I can't get rid of her.
She can sue me.
What you mean,
she'll sue you?
For discrimination.
I saw her dance.
If I make her leave, she gon'
say it's because of that.
It's against the law.
I'm serious.
I asked, I called.
First thing this morning.
I tried to get out of it.
Shut up.
How long is the lease?
Six months.
All right.
This will be a good test.
Why everything gotta be
a test, though?
[Fatima] No, I'm telling you.
Watch her ass.
I know her.
-Okay.
-[Fatima] Yup. I do.
-Watch her.
-Where you going?
[Fatima] I'm going to
get ready for work.

You work that shit out quick.
You can't work it out when
you hugged up on another man.
She wasn't hugged up,
she was sayin' goodbye, bro.
[Zac] First of all.
You always put 100 on 10.
It wasn't even that serious.
Okay?
That was her ex, yes.
But he had just found out
he had stage four cancer,
he was tellin' her.
-What?
-[Tony] Damn.
Yes, and that's what y'all saw.
Dude got cancer,
he was lettin' her know, like,
that's why there was emotion.
So she all hugged up
with him on a date,
and she come back
and tell you he got cancer?
That's bullshit!
You not boo boo the fool.
Come on, man!
That's bullshit, because you
know, you can obviously can tell
when people walk around
with cancer, right Nate?
He's a doctor now.
MD!

[Nathan] Ha, ha, ha.
Y'all got jokes.
So you fell for that shit?
Yo, bro, you don't get it, bro.
His shit is real.
[Zac] Bro, that's what happened.
Just let it go, let it go.
-That's what happened, bro.
-That's it.
-I don't believe it.
You're missin' out, man.
Nate, what am I missin' out on?
Like you got life figured out?
Dawg, all I'm sayin' is that
was a perfect opportunity.
She cheated!
That was your out!

He didn't move her in with him.
He leased the place
next door to her.
Bitch.
What the fuck?
Well, he said that she
filled out the application
before he knew she was
a stripper.
Girl, for real?
Look at her.
She looked like a stripper.
Well, that's what he said.
You know that's bullshit.
I don't know that.
All right, fine.
But girl
What?
Relationships shouldn't be
all of this drama, girl.
I know that.
I mean, you and Ian didn't even
have all of this drama.
There was none of this.
It was easy.
Yeah
Until we did.
-Yeah, but, you know.
-Yeah, I know what you mean.
It was easy,
but the nigga was lying
the whole time.
His mama called me today.
-Wait, Ms. Margaret?
-Yes.
I'm so mad at him right now.
I told him not to
give her my number.
She wants us to have dinner.
-Oh, no, no, no, no. No.
-[Fatima] Right.
You can't do that.
Did you tell Zac yet?
No, I haven't told him,
but I will.
Okay, good, 'cause y'all don't
need no more drama.
All right.
We need to get back
to work here.
Yeah, come on.

Last night I was drunk as shit,
and we're, we're grown ass men.

you could marry me.
First of all,
I said pause,
and I was joking.
-Oh, okay.
-Okay?
Remember?
Your brain in Fatima's body?
I remember sayin' that.
[stammering]
You remember that part, right?
But, but you hug and
you touch me a lot.
Wow.
Okay, okay, Bryce.
Somewhere in here,

I love you, too.
You know that, right?

We gotta talk to each other.
I thought that's what
we were doing.
Well, we were.
Until I didn't tell you
about Ian.
Right.
Zac, you
You didn't give me a chance.
Fatima, that's not fair.
I asked you plenty of times.
But you weren't ready to
talk about it, so I get it.
Fatima, I was hurt.
Just like you.
Now we have an understanding?
Yeah.
And we're just gonna be
honest with each other?
Yes.
Okay, so
What was your boys
saying about me?
Fatima
Come on, tell me.
They weren't talkin' about you.
They were talkin' about me.
What they say?
If I tell you that,
you ain't gonna like 'em.
Just tell me.
We're bein' honest, right?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
If we're bein' honest,
what were your girls
sayin' about me?
Well
Angela likes you.
Okay, so
We about even.
'Cause Belinda hates me.
-[Fatima] Mm-hm.
-Tony likes you.
And Nathan is
Is indifferent.
So what did he say?
He was just saying that
I just came up,
and I'm getting some money,
and he was asking me if I'm sure
that I want to be tied down.
Well, are you?
I thought about it.
Okay?
Just havin' money for
the first time in my life.
Havin' my own place.
Bein' single,
havin' options
All right,
is that what you want?
-No.
-[Fatima] 'Cause
-[Zac] That's not
-If it is, then
[Zac] Fatima, stop.
Stop.
I'm just saying
Who are you texting?
Zac
You're right.
We're just getting started.
And this would be the right time
to pull out if you wanted to.
You know you don't like
when I pull out.
Okay, all right,
bad timing.
I just
It's bad timing, okay?
But anytime I try
to get honest with you,
you pull back from me.
I don't know how
this honesty stuff
is going to work.
You're kidding, right?
Who are you texting?
Look, Zac.
I just honestly
Fatima, I don't want to be
with anybody else but you.
But
There's no buts!
Wait, I think I know what it is.
You think I'm the right girl
at the wrong time.
Is that what it is?
I know you're the right one.
You know?
I just
Wanna make sure that we
take the necessary steps.
To do everything that we can do.
-Hey.
-[Ian] Hi.
-Zac, I
-Wait. What the fuck?!
I asked him to come.
He lives
Above the restaurant.
Okay, what is going on?
Zac just said to me that
Basically I'm the right girl
but at the wrong time.
Oh man, come on.
Am I suppose
What, what is this?
What is going on?
I said that to her.
I don't care what you said
there, bro.
Okay.
But I still love her.
Okay.
But she's in love with you.
And only you.
I screwed up and she never
let me back in.
I was just like you.
I just started doing well
when I said to her
She's the right girl
at the wrong time.
If I could take that back,
I would.
There's nobody out there
better than her.
And if I could do it again,
I would give you
a run for your money.
Nigga, you could never give me
a run for my money.
Are you done?
Yeah, I'm done.
All right.
She is fucking incredible,
though.
That might be
the last thing you say.
You might wanna go.
Bounce, nigga.
[crowd murmuring]
Really?
-I didn't need him to prove it.
-But you texted him.
Zac, I just want you
to know how this goes.
When I'm in, I'm all in.
But when I'm out,
there's no getting me back.
So you need to be sure
this is what you want.
You are all I want.
Are you sure about that?
See what I mean? You're just
gonna walk outta here?
That's fine.
You know what, nigga?
I can leave, too.
Zac, what the hell
are you doin'?
[purse clattering]
Is it sure enough?
