Glen and Bryce, too.
Bryce. He good peoples.
Bryce?
Kept me out of jail.
Mm-mm I'm just trying to figure
out how me and Bryce
even in the same sentence,
on the same level.
Y'all not on the same.
Trust me, y'all can't be.
All that ass in that dress?
Man, Bryce ain't got no ass.
Like--
- Okay.
- Pause.
Uh, so, how about--
I gotta tell you
what he asked me.
What?
He gonna ask me if I'm bisexual.
Why would he ask you that?
He gonna say because
the other night, I made a joke,
and I was just like, oh,
he and I should just be married.
I'm sorry, what?
It was a joke,
and I said pause,
and I was just trying to make
a statement of, like,
how he and I get along so well,
you know what I'm saying?
I did say put his brain
in your body.
Like, I said that, you know?
- And he got that from that?
- I don't know.
I mean, he also said it too
because I got undressed
in front of him when
I was drunk, like?
But we do that all the time.
Guys help each other
all the time,
and he play, ball, so.
Yeah, I do that
with my girls, too.
Right, so I don't get it.
Like What? What?
Like, you just,
I see you thinking.
Like, what was up?
Yeah, it's just
all suspect as hell.
I know. Shit.
[music]
What, what you think?
Do you think he wants you?
Bryce? No!
He never came across like that.
That's why it shocked me.
I--
Mm-mm, not at all.
This don't make sense.
No, it don't.
You know what?
You just gonna let it go.
It's gonna reveal itself.
It always does.
I hope not.
Neither do I,
'cause I'll kill a man, too.
Shit.
[music]
[Fatima muttering]
[Deja grumbling]
Hi!

- Oh my gosh.
Zac, I am so happy you're home.
Baby, just relax.
- Just relax.
- I'm relaxed.

- Can you--
Zac, can you just--
Oh, my goodness.
Oh my gosh,
I am so happy you're home.
This is a disaster!
- Yeah, it's just--
- Oh my gosh.

- What's up, Deja? What's up?
I gotta make it to a gig,
and my car won't start!
Baby, her car won't start.
Okay, well, call a rideshare.
Oh, girl, I can't do that.
I get off work way too late,
and I need my car.
Yeah, and they run all day long,
so you'll be fine.
Come on.
Can you just take a look at it?
- Um, excuse me?
- Uh, um--
Do you see the suit
that he has on?
No, I--
Well, I'll just wait for him
to change, then, that's fine.
- I mean, I'll be here.
- I don't wanna change.
I don't even know
much about cars.
- Wait for who to change.
- Oh, I'm sure it's simple.
Here, just--
Look, just look right here.
It's gotta be something.
I'm--
[Zac stammering]
You know what? Go change, Zac.
- Huh?
- Go change.
- You sure?
- Mm-hmm.
All right, Deja,
we gonna change.
No, no, I'm fine right here.
- Mm-hmm.
- Baby, you
Go inside.
And it's hot, too.
Honey, just let me,
give me your purse.
De, oh, Jesus.
- Go inside.
- [Zac] I'm going!
Thank you so much!
Is he really about
to go change, girl?
- Oh, my goodness.
- What's wrong with it.
Well, I'm happy you are
already dressed down.
- Excuse me?
- Okay, so, listen,
I don't know what's going on
with this car.
It just won't start.
Let me take a look at it.
You know about cars?
- A little?
- [Deja laughing]
Okay!
You know
I see the problem.
What is it?
Your dumb ass
unhooked the cable.
Excuse me?
Bitch, don't play
these games with me.
I am not the one.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
I want you to listen to me
and hear me clearly.
Leave him the fuck alone.
I know you signed
your little lease and all,
but if you know
what's good for you,
you'll stay real clear.
I hear you.
Rent is due
on the first at nine.
If I don't have
that shit by 9:01,
- I'm putting your ass out.
- Oh, girl, I wasn't even--
No, no, no, no, no.
Listen to me.
I'm not that chick.
Promise you I'm not, okay?
You know, it's mighty funny
you got the tool in your hand
- to fix it.
- Isn't that a coincidence?
Tighten that shit up
and get the fuck outta here.
Why you still standing here?
Oh, and Deja?
Don't try me again.
[Deja sighing]
[Deja grumbling]
[music]
Promise you,
this will not take long.
Where the hell you going
looking like that?
What?
This a tankop and shorts.
Like, I'm going
to fix her car.
She's gone.
Fatima, what you do
to that girl? Did you shoot her?
I know I should've
took your purse!
She's still breathing.
Calm down.
You need to choose
your words better, then.
When you said gone,
I thought gone,
'cause you be wilin'.
But she lied.
- Yeah.
- Oh, she gone gone?
Yeah, she unhooked the battery.
For real?
Why would she unhook
her own battery?
Now, see, Zac,

'cause you know damn well
what she was out there doing.
I'm just trying
to get through these six months
and keep her alive,
and you out of jail.

Oh, okay.
Oh, look, I know Zac is,

- You smoke?
Uh, um, yeah, I smoke.
Look, uh, like I said,
I know he's like your landlord,
so I don't wanna, you know,
jam you up
or anything like that.
We're not doing anything wrong.
Why do you let him
talk to you like that?
I mean, you know
That's my boy, you know, we
We get into it and all,
but it's cool.
I caught his girlfriend
out with her ex, so,
got into it about that.
- It's all good.
- Interesting.
He still been trying
to get at you?
I mean, no, but, he will,
when he sees I'm with you.
Okay.
I mean, well
I mean, I'm trying
to get at you, so what's up?
Deja chuckling
I can't tell.
- Hey, that looks good, man.
- It looks good, right?
Yeah, wow.
I can't believe it.
- Yeah.
- Can you believe it?
- Yeah.
- Rise.
Nice, yeah?
Um--
Oh, man.
Hey, uh, I wanna talk to you.
Are we good?
Yeah, we good.
Why wouldn't we be good?
Because, um, you know,
I asked if you were bisexual.
Oh, yeah.
I ain't gonna lie.
Like, that confused
the shit out of me.
I don't know how we got there.
Well, the thing is, okay,
so I know a lot of guys
who are, you know,
they're solid, and--
They're solid?
Yeah, you know,
they're solid, they're solid.
So now there's two guys
who are solid?
No, they're sol--
They're solid, man.
-[Zac] Fucking me up.
- They're solid.
They're not gay, okay?
They're not gay.
But they fuck around,
and they still got girls,
and I just didn't know.
Okay, that's not
me at all, Bryce.
- Okay.
- Okay, that's not me.
It's not me at all.
- Okay, got it.
- Okay?
And we back here again.
I don't know why
we back here again. I just--
- I'm sorry.
- No, you don't gotta be sorry.
I just don't understand, like,
how we keep coming back here.
I just don't-- I don't get it,
and you're gonna
have to explain it to me
why you would--
I know, other than the joke
that I made,
what made you think
that that was me?
No, no, let's just--
Let's just drop it.
No, we can't just drop it now.
You brought it back up, like--
No, I got it, okay?
You don't have to get mad.
- It's all good.
- I'm not mad. Why you even--
I'm not mad.
It would be immature for me
to be mad because
someone thinks I'm gay.
I just wanna know
how we got here.
Okay, look, I get it,
and I'm sorry, okay?
Okay, that's it?
We not talking about it no more?
Yeah, we're good, I'm sorry,
and, uh, let's just
look at the properties.
- Oh, we gonna let it go?
- [Bryce] Yeah we'll let it go.
Here it go right here.
We gonna let it go?
- Yeah, that's right, got it.
- No, no, no, look at it.
You got it.
It's gone. We let it go.
- Last time, right?
- Got it, yeah.
- Cool.
- No, I got it, I got it.
Shoo, it's gone.
You wanna come
in the office and--
We gonna do it right here.
- Okay, yeah, yeah.
- Right here, a'ight?
I got you.
This name just kind of seem
it don't have
the same meaning anymore.
Girl, I really like this car.
- You do?
- Yes.
And look at this steering wheel.
- You see it?
- Fatima!
He asked me last night.
Damn.
It's fine.
And you said yes?
Uh, I did.
- You see it?
- Yeah.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I mean,
I can always say no
if it gets to that.
Okay.
What?
Girl, are you sure?
Yes, it's fine.
Okay, okay. Okay.
Angela.
-What is it?
-Look
I just want you
to take your time, that's all.
I am.
And I want you to do the same.
What you mean?
I want you to
take your time with Bryce.
Girl, I am.
Okay, good.
What do you think about
bisexual men?
Girl!
Damn, it was a hell
of a segue.
Yeah, I know,
I was just wondering.
Okay, well, um,
I think bisexual men are fine.
Okay.
But would you date one?
I mean, it's not for me, but
It's cool if that's what
you want.
Are you sure?
Uh, yeah.
Why you ask that?
I mean
What?
What is it?
Why are you asking me that?
Oh.
Is, um, is Bryce bisexual?
Girl, no!
I was talking about Zac.
Girl, don't--
Don't make me wreck this car.
What are you talking about?
I don't know, sis, I mean
He's just been a little weird.
You know, Bryce has been quiet,
and I'm wondering if maybe
Zac came on to him or something.
And what would
make you think that?
I don't know.
Bryce be talking
about him a lot.
Okay, um, I'm not really sure
what would make you think
he was bisexual.
Shit, it sounds like
it's the other way around to me
- if he talking about Zac.
- It's like, you think--
You think Bryce is bi?
Angela, I don't know,
but I know Zac is straight.
Okay.
Shit.
What?
Okay, look, don't judge.
Girl, it's me.
I'm not gonna judge nothing.
I been meeting a lot of
Bryce's friends,
and they are all gay.
I mean, all of them,
except for--
- Zac.
- All right, if you say so.
Girl, I know my man.
Okay.
So what do you think?
I don't know.
I mean, when we have sex,
he gets so hard.
When he sees me, it's on.
I already knew.
So that's a good thing.
Yeah, but I can't be with
no bisexual man, right?
- Just talk to him.
- Okay.
And y'all leave Zac
out of this.
What do you mean, y'all?
Bryce asked Zac
if he was bisexual.
Shut up.
No, he did.
Why?
Yeah, 'cause the other night
when Zac was drunk,
he said maybe
they should get married
since they get along so well.
Fatima.
He said he wish he could
put Bryce's mind into my body.
And he was drunk
and he got naked
and took his clothes off
and got in the shower,
and they were talking.
Okay, I mean,
we do that, I guess.
Yeah, we do.
Guys do it all the time
at the gym and stuff.
I said the same thing.
Wait.
- Oh, shit.
- What? What?
Was this the night that
Zac was drunk
and Bryce was helping him?
Yeah.
- That night.
- The night that he came home
hard as a rock.
I remember you telling me that.
Yeah, shit. Wow.
Wait.
So you think he was
thinking about Zac?
Ooh, girl, I do not wanna--
I don't wanna think about that.
Shit!
So you telling me
that I finally find
the perfect man,
and he wants some dick too?
Angela, you don't know that.
I mean, he's younger than me,
and I know this generation,
they be into some--
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Damn, girl.
I'm sorry.
I hope that's not what it is.
So, yeah, so, um,
this is 7th Street.
I like 7th Street a lot.
- Looks really good.
- I like it a lot, too.
I'ma call Valerie,
we gonna put the bid in,
we gonna be good,
you know what I'm saying?
- I bet.
- We'll be businessmen.
Actually, I already called her.
- Yeah?
- She's putting it in.
Okay, cool, cool, cool.
Yeah, so, um, okay,
let's just, uh,
let's just take
a look at it then, okay?
All right, let me, um,
bring 'em up.
There you go.

- You like it?
Really good, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
How much you think it's
gonna cost to renovate, though?
Um, I don't know.
Maybe you got connections?
That, I do.
That, I do.
Okay, um.
- Here's the one on 8th.
- 8th looks good.
- Yeah.
- Looks good.
That's old as shit.
Nuh-uh, next.
You know, um,
am I too close to you?
No, you good.
Just take a look at the houses.
Are you sure, Zac?
You don't mind me
being this close?
I'm positive.
We let it go, bro.
Since we let it go,
we let it go.
I'm, it's over there, right?
I don't know what
this one is, either.
This shit terrible.
- Zac?
- What's up?
I don't know,
what does this mean?
Yeah, I don't know
what this is, neither.
Why would she send me this one?
No, I like you.
I like you, too.
- I just don't like this house.
- You like me?
Yeah.
Zac, you're not listening to me.
I am listening.
What the fuck?
Shit, damn, man,
what are you doing?
Bryce groaning
What the hell is going on?
