Raquel Lancaster.
As much as I would love the sexy diversion from all the troubles in my life, this is just gonna get me in more trouble.
Take that to business affairs.
They're on the second floor, and while you're down there, talk to them about your deal.
Eve just broke up with me.
She's pulling her investment in Indulgence.
My client and I are here to contest the last will and testament of Mr.
Malcolm Franks, Sr.

That is great.
How cool is it that you know the club owner? Co-owner.
Carter's a private investor.
We met in business school.
Ah, a kindred spirit.
No wonder you guys get along so well.
Oh, my God.
I love this song.
- Let's go dance.
- Oh, two seconds.
- Let's say hi to Carter first.
- Okay.
Hey, Raquel.
I knew my ears were burning.
I wanted to introduce you to my dearest April Goldberg, of course.
I read all about your new gig online.
Felicia Price, huh? Should I congratulate you or offer condolences? A little bit of both, I guess.
[All laugh softly.]
Are you going to join us for a drink? Oh, no, no, no.
You guys go catch up.
I can entertain myself.
In fact, I think Keisha's coming in a sec.
Drinks are on me.
Enjoy.
Sweet.
Thank you.
Hey, can I get a dirty Martini, two olives? Thank you.
I only got two words.
"Spec-tacular.
" That's only one word.
"Breath-taking.
" Still only one.
Smoking hot.
Dude, come on.
It's the dress.
Oh, I was referring to me.
I mean, but you look cute too.
David Berenger.
Does that normally work for you? I'll tell you in a minute.
Let me get that.
No, no, that's okay.
It's already comped.
"Fan-tastic.
" Sir, can I get another? Now, how long do I have to stand here before you give me your name? Three years this trick has worked for Frank Jewels, and you didn't know about it.
I probably met her in passing, T.
It's a big company.
And you're the president of it, Malcolm.
Look, all we know right now is that this Naomi Cox is some kind of a low-level marketing coordinator, all right? And she's claiming she had some kind of a relationship with pops.
That bitch can claim whatever she wants.
That doesn't mean that she was married to him.
Of course not, T.
But you know and I know that pops was a womanizer.
Plus this Naomi is claiming that they got married somewhere down in the Caribbean, which already sounds suspect, but you have got to calm down.
There is a lot to look into here, and the lawyers are looking into it, and they are working on this.
Tell them to work faster.
Am I gonna have to stay here and get my switch? No, no, we're fine, Keisha.
Go be with your friends.
I will as soon as I figure out which suitcase I left my earrings in.
What? You mean these earrings? Pow.
Okay.
I guess I'm going.
But don't make me have to come back here, hmm? - Hmm.
- Mm.
[Cell phone vibrating.]
Yeah.
What? Man, you got to be kidding me.
Malcolm, what happened? What? That was pop's lawyer.
He said that Naomi's challenge to the will is going forward.
What does that mean? Were she and your father actually married? They don't know, Keisha.
They just don't know.
The deposition is tomorrow.
Until then, everything stays in limbo.
Put your hands on my waist You were the best study partner ever.
Until you ditched me for What was his name? Rich Sorenson.
Mm, that man was everything.
He took the best notes in advanced marketing, and he had an ass that deserved its own soundtrack.
[Laughs.]
You should be proud of yourself.
You've done a great job of building Indulgence in the short time you've owned it.
Thank you.
Why do I feel like there's a big "but" coming? Not a big one.
The market's in recovery, but you know how it is.
Investors want a sure thing.
Commodities, tech start-ups And Indulgence does well, but fashion is a higher risk.
I get it.
Well, let me do some digging.
Maybe I can find a name or two.
I know if anyone can Okay, okay, yeah, wait, wait, wait.
So you're from Cobb County? - Yeah.
- I'm from Cobb County.
- Really? - Sure.
I used to live right next to the thing, you know? Near the barn, across the street from the Freezie Cream.
Are you playing me? Me? You? No, never.
Good, 'cause don't joke about my Freezie Cream.
I take my mint oreo swirlies very seriously.
Let me guess.
You used to work there sophomore, junior year of high school, and you hated it.
Junior, senior year, and I loved it.
Which I'm guessing is more than I can say for your job.
Oh, so now you can read me.
I think I already have.
Okay, well then hit me.
Okay, shoe salesman.
Sketchers.
Assistant manager.
No, no, wait.
- Manager by senior year.
- Wrong by a mile.
It was foot locker.
[Both laugh.]
I was close.
Hey, what do you say we get up out of here? No, I can't.
I can't.
I'm waiting for a friend.
[Cell phone ringing.]
"Have fun"? It looks as though this friend here Read my mind.
Oh oh my body is your party Oh, God.
- I've never done this.
- What? Make out with a guy? Me neither.
Oh, God.
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
I got to go.
I got to go.
I'm starting a new job tomorrow.
Congratulations.
Let me inside so I can give you a present.
No.
No, no.
This is important.
I got to go.
- I got to get up early.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- I got to go.
- Okay.
For what it's worth, you strike me as an individual that can use A little celebration.
Okay.
Deal.
All I needed was 5.
Let's get started Oh-oh-oh So how'd it go? - Did you totally own it? - Always.
But raising my line of credit is going to be a little tricky right now.
You know what they say.
Every "no" is one step closer to a "yes.
" So where did you disappear to last night? Oh, yeah, sorry.
Keisha couldn't make it, and you know, I just figured I'd let you and Carter talk.
But you know what? Hey, give me your take on this.
Sure, what's up? So it's my first day at price management in, like, half an hour.
Look at all the invitations they sent out.
Whoa.
All of these in a month? Girl, in one week.
Like, I barely got this job.
If I snub the wrong person, it'll be over before it even started.
Okay.
What are we dealing with? Okay, so I have Usher's birthday party.
I have the B.
B.
A.
reception tonight at 9:00.
- I have the freestyle competition.
- Whoa, hold up.
What was that last one? - The freestyle competition? - No.
The B.
B.
A.
As in "Business For a Better Atlanta"? Yeah, why? You think I should go? Huh.
What is it? Hold on.
I'm just checking something.
Okay, but We're still on me, right? [Smooth hip-hop music.]
Malcolm Sr.
and I met at Franks Jewels.
I was working in marketing.
He would drop by from time to time, ostensibly to check in on the company.
He would always make time to check on me.
He was so cute.
Miss Cox, let's stay on point.
We dated for over two years.
Mac that's what I called him he wanted to go public with our relationship, but I was building my career.
I was worried about the backlash.
I knew people would doubt us.
Tell them what happened in Martinique.
Uh Mac flew me out to the Caribbean on a whim.
Before I knew it, we were standing in front of the justice of the peace, and he slipped this on my finger.
"He slipped this on my" How much longer do we have to sit here - and listen to this bull? - Terrence, enough, all right? Listen, even if she did marry my pops, which, of course, I highly doubt, but let's just say she did.
It was only for two weeks.
Two weeks.
That doesn't entitle you to anything.
Unless your father intended to leave my client part of his estate.
Is that what she's saying? [Laughs.]
He wrote it down on a piece of the hotel stationary.
He told me to put it in the safe at his house along with our marriage certificate.
You expect anyone to believe that? It doesn't matter, Keisha, because she isn't getting anywhere near that safe.
Actually, that's not your call.
He's right, Malcolm.
It's my job to make sure your father's interests are protected.
I'm having the estate put under security.
Whoa, whoa.
You're doing what? No one goes anywhere near that safe until we can all reconvene and see what's in it.
Now how's 8:00 tomorrow night work for everyone? - Works fine.
- Yep.
Fine.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
Sean.
Know this: I am gonna bury you.
I'll be out in a sec, okay? Sean, why are you doing this? Hey, look, she came to me with a legitimate claim.
I'm just doing my job.
Now, the opportunity to take your Mr.
Big down a notch, well, that was an added bonus.
Is that what this is about? You're jealous.
Of Malcolm? Hardly.
Look, Keisha, the man is the most corrupt, - shady - Shady? You mean like the time you cheated on me and fathered a child with another woman type shady? I thought we were past all that.
We were.
And that's where you should have stayed, in the past.
Excuse me.
- Wait.
- You need to pick out a suit.
What's happening? Are we back on caffeine? The B.
B.
A.
annual reception and fundraiser is tonight, and we're both going.
The B.
B.
what now? Business For a Better Atlanta.
A bunch of old money CEO's get together to share ideas and talk about new opportunities.
No thanks.
I don't do aged meat.
Omar, I need you for this.
It's more than just a networking opportunity.
It's a total game changer and a chance to take Indulgence to the next level.
Which still begs the question, why me? Because, networking events are lech-y, and if I'm gonna have any success at finding an investor, I don't want to worry about guys trying to hit on me.
I need you to be my wingman.
You want me to be your beard.
So you'll do it? [Sighs.]
Fine.
Maybe I'll get adopted like Daddy Warbucks.
Great.
Are you sure you're all right? Yeah, it's just Keisha, my pops never would have gave that woman a dime.
He wouldn't do that to me and Terrence.
Speak of the devil.
What's up, Keisha? - Hey.
- So what are we doing about this? "We"? We aren't gonna do anything about this, T.
You're gonna let me handle it.
Look, even if that Naomi chick is telling the truth, you and I still own most of the company.
We stick together, that broad ain't got nothing.
- Terrence, I swear to - Malcolm, maybe you should hear him out.
Babe, this ain't open for discussion.
Oh, it's open.
We partners now.
You can't just shut me out.
Watch me.
Sorry.
Yeah-yeah yeah yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah yeah-yeah, yeah - yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah - Uh, hi.
Good morning.
Hello.
I'm April.
Can you just direct me? No? Uh Oh, Felicia.
Hi.
Deliveries are on the second floor.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
It's April Goldberg, remember? It's my first day.
Oh, right.
But, darling, no one eats gluten anymore.
[Gasps.]
You.
You.
W what are you doing here? I mean, I was gonna call you.
Ooh, cupcakes.
My favorite.
Now, I know I was pretty good last night, but really, you shouldn't have.
What are you doing here? Uh, I work here.
And can I have that back? No, you can't have it back.
This is for the staff.
It's not for you.
You're the new manager? I'm a manager here too.
Uh, seriously? Yeah, six years now.
Isn't this great? No, no.
It's awful.
Why? Is this because we had sex? Shh.
Shh.
Will you please lower your voice? What? Look.
The whole sex thing doesn't have to be an issue.
I mean, granted, it was spectacular.
Oh, damn.
Earth-moving.
I was amazing, which upped your performance.
But I mean, look, if you want to keep this strictly professional, I'm totally fine with that.
I absolutely do.
So good.
Fine.
Fine.
Done.
Done.
Finitos.
Now stand your little lime green self up, and I'll escort you to your new office.
I have an office? Yes, you do, because around here, we believe in generosity as the key.
Hey, Ricky, you owe me $5.
Don't make me look for you.
I'll steal that damn vest.
So what do you think? Uh, I love it.
So what's next? Staff meeting tomorrow.
Felicia's looking for pitches for new talent.
She's looking to sign the next big thing, so if you want to run any ideas, I'm right across the hall.
Okay, thanks, but I'm fine.
All right.
Suit yourself.
But consider me a source.
Felicia and her minions love to devour new flesh.
Kind of like how I did you last night.
No one's supposed to know.
David? Maybe throwing around some ideas would be good, so sure.
All right, well, great.
How about tonight? Your office? Okay, but strictly business.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
[Dramatic hip-hop music.]
Got your message.
Want to tell me what we doing here, why I shouldn't drown your ass in this lake? Have a seat, Terrence.
I'll stand.
Come on, what do you want? I want you to know that, sooner or later, the truth is going to come out.
When it does, you don't want to be on the wrong side of this.
Is that a threat? It's an opportunity.
I know your father would never leave me a majority share of Franks Jewels, but my shares combined with yours That could be enough to take control of the company.
We could run this place.
[Chuckles.]
We? [Laughs.]
Bitch, please.
I also know that Malcolm has never taken you seriously.
I'm offering you what your brother never would: Trust, respect, and a controlling interest in Franks Jewels.
In exchange for what? My undying loyalty.
Just, uh, promise me that you'll think about it.
[Energetic dance music.]
Is that what you're wearing to the B.
B.
A.
reception? Some papi chulo plays his cards right, he could wake up with all of this.
Oh, what? Like a one night stand? Ugh.
I don't get those.
Hang on, judge-y.
I know what you did last mayor.
[Laughs.]
Oh.
Okay, we get it.
My past is a mess.
Whatever.
I'm just saying, when you hook up with someone that you just met, it can be weird in ways you never imagined.
Random hook-ups aren't really my thing either.
See.
Well, except that one time.
You ever meet someone so good, they make you realize you've been doing it wrong your whole life? Mmm, mmm.
- Esteban - Been there.
No, I feel like that hardly ever happens, right? Well, that's the beauty of the one-nighter.
Screw them and shoo them.
Pump them and dump them.
Ride them and Shoot, I thought I had something.
Keish, you are in a committed relationship.
Isn't that the best sex ever? It's true.
It's nothing like knowing I can get my Saturday love, but back in the day, we had a name for girls who were always out being ratchet.
Amateurs.
Mm-hmm.
But, honey, I must admit, I've had me some amateur hours.
Not to mention professional.
Oh, and what about the morning after when you can't find your thong? Or his.
And you've got pop rocks all in your [laughter.]
Why would you have pop rocks up oh, you heifers are nasty.
All right, y'all, you know what? This is still a place of business.
Thank you.
Ooh, sex at work is hot.
Nothing like a messy break room nooner to out a little pep in your step.
Which reminds me, we're out of paper towels.
Ugh.
Well, it all sounds like a bad idea to me.
Break room sex.
One night stands.
Seriously, people get hurt, lives get ruined.
It's just who have you been screwing? Nobody.
Oh, hell, no.
What are you doing here? Hello.
Keisha, is it? I had no idea you worked here.
Could you get me these in a size six? Okay, now look, you may have tricked Sean into becoming your own personal lap dog, but if you think you can just walk in here and play me sweetie.
I did just walk in here.
When I do play, I play for keeps.
Ooh.
I see who you are.
I see all you're ever going to be and that's a gold-digging ho.
[Chuckles.]
Wow.
I guess I've underestimated you.
What with your thousand-dollar heels and the way you have Malcolm wrapped around your little finger, hardly anyone would guess, you're just a jewelry-snatching, Booty-popping, video ViXen.
You've done such a nice job of hiding it, but you can't hide it from me.
Ew.
Who was that? Holy Christian Louboutin.
There's two of you.
[Upbeat rock music.]
You know I'm bad at communication it's the hardest thing for me to do and it's said it's the most important part that relationships will go through ready? Ready? I was born ready.
You remember the plan, right? Omar? Omar? [Mellow hip-hop music.]
Work it, ladies.
Nice job.
Mike? Mike Hammond? Omar? Omar Kearse.
I thought I saw you walk in.
Man, I haven't seen you since since you threw that interception to lose the state championship.
The way I remember it, you missed the catch.
I wouldn't have missed it had you thrown it anywhere near me.
Yeah, it's good to see you.
You too.
So who's that beautiful lady I saw you walk in with? Can I take this to mean you're no longer gay? Please, after all that crap you took for me in high school, how could I go straight? Yeah, and without you, I'd never have gotten Jess to go out with me.
Yeah, without me, you'd still be wearing Jenko's and a Caesar cut.
How is Jess? She's good.
You should drop by sometime.
She'd love to see you.
Better yet, you should come out tomorrow and play ball with us.
Us? Me and a couple of guys.
Regular game at Piedmont Park.
Come on, it'll be just like old times, what do you say? Hello, hello, hello - whoa, oh, whoa - [hip-hop music.]
Hello, hello, hello Okay, so here's the thing.
You all have wives, girlfriends.
Some of you have both.
I guarantee you when they see what Indulgence has to offer, when they try on they try on those new Balenciagas, that little backless dress When they want to express their gratitude for that French lingerie, you'll truly understand the value of what I'm offering.
Yeah, hey.
So what's your capital reserve situation looking like? Hmm? I'm right here.
Sorry, in the back, yes.
Well, clearly we'd like the company to grow, so I'd never say no to a motivated investor.
But why would an investor be motivated if we don't know your sales metrics.
Just curious.
Well, this isn't exactly the time or the place to discuss that, but, I'd be happy to set up a meeting, and we discuss details.
What's wrong with right now? I mean, you don't think these guys have any interest in your boutique, do you? Yeah, actually, I do.
Which ones? 'Cause Scott here is a no-go.
I mean, he is just a one-way ticket to bankruptcy.
Okay, just show of hands, which of you guys are here just to ogle the pretty girl? Gentlemen, gentlemen.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Wait, ignore him.
If you just give me a minute to get your contact information, I could it looks like you lost them.
I lost them.
I lost them? Well, that's what I said.
What's your problem? I'm hungry and these people are dull.
Do you want to go to dinner with me? You can't just come in here and ambush me.
Who do you think you are? You coming or what? No, I'm not coming.
Why not? Because.
Because? Because I'm having dinner Yeah.
With my boyfriend.
Cool, where is he? Hmm? Where is he? He can come.
Well, he's just right over here.
We almost done here? I met a cute waiter who gets off in 15.
This is your boyfriend? Okay, fine.
I don't have a boyfriend.
Then why did you just tell me that Why do you think? Yes, we, we're done.
Shall we? He's almost cute.
He was a jerk.
Excuse me.
Was that Artie Wyatt you were talking to? Could you introduce me? Trust me, don't bother.
Are you kidding? His software company is about to go public.
He's basically the next Mark Zuckerberg.
So blowing him off, not the best plan, huh? [Sighs.]
Perfect.
You own me money for this Chinese food.
Okay, okay, okay, business.
All right.
So I'm thinking of going with Shilah.
She's raw and soulful.
She has a a Nina Simone vibe.
Ooh.
Sounds a little too niche.
You got something bigger? How about Mark Larue? You know, Larue is definitely cool.
Really? Yeah, my only problem is, he might be a little too cool, you know, for a mass audience.
You got something else? Uh, there is this one act.
He's definitely mainstream, but he's not great.
Whoa! You never start a pitch off with "not great.
" Felicia will chew your head off.
Okay, okay.
He's actually a hip-hop artist from Columbus.
His name is G-Force, and he thinks he's hard, but he's soft, but he's cute.
I think he's cute.
That's your guy.
Really? Hear what I'm saying.
Felicia likes guys that are cute and can sell a ton of downloads.
And if you pitch this guy, she's going to love you.
She'll let you sign whoever you want.
Okay.
Now, can I have my half of this Chinese food? [Dark hip-hop music.]
Hey, get off me.
Malcolm? What are you doing here? Just making sure you don't do something stupid, you know, like try to break into dad's house.
Now, you need to get out of here before somebody hears us.
Look, I know you're angry, T.
Okay? About Naomi, but she's lying.
She's lying, and it's just a matter of time before the truth comes out.
I'm not sure she is lying.
What are you talking about? Look, she stepped to me tonight.
And the way that she was talking, I'm not sure if she is lying.
I think she's telling the truth.
Terrence.
She's playing you, okay? She's playing you, man.
How can you not see that? What if she's playing both of us? We need to go in there and pop that safe before someone else does so we know what we're dealing with, Malcolm.
Come on, man.
Trust me on this.
Trust you? Man, you are risking my reputation and the reputation of this company.
I'm trying to help us.
By committing a felony.
Now you tell me when, T, when did that become your solution to everything? The day I went to prison for your ass.
Damn it.
[Sighs.]
Terrence, you do this, and I'm calling the police myself.
You would call the police on your own brother? You make me dial this phone, and we're done.
We're done being brothers.
[Dramatic hip-hop music.]
New signings are only up 2% this quarter.
That's 2% more than the zero's you have all become.
Now, who can tell me how to fix this before I drive this pencil through your heart? Where is my phone? August, how about you? Right, so I was thinking of going with this new hip-hop artist named G-Force.
That dreadful bubble gum act from Columbus? Well, I thought he had mainstream appeal.
And I was under the impression that you had taste, but I guess we're both wrong, right? Who can show our neophyte and her hair how it's done? David, do you have anything you want to add? One word: Shilah.
She's an R&B singer in Athens.
Her last single got over She reminds me of a young Nina Simone, but if that's too niche, I was thinking of maybe Mark Larue.
He's a local boy, and if we play our cards right, we can probably snag him before he blows right up.
Now, that is the type of outside-of-the-box thinking I expect from all of you! Get out! Get get out! And don't come back until you guys can live up to David's example.
My God.
August, that goes double for you.
Hey! What the hell was that? You just stole my best ideas.
I know.
Fun, right? [Laughs.]
Fun? Oh, come on.
Ideas get poached all the time.
That's the nature of the business.
Take it as lesson number one.
Never trust anyone.
You you're the devil.
No, I'm a professional, and this is a cutthroat business.
Remember, you came on my turf.
I got a career to protect.
Now, now, now.
You didn't think you was gonna get a pass just because we slept together? Oh! No, I didn't think I was gonna get a pass.
And you know what, David, I don't need one.
Good.
Good.
I guess it's game on then.
It is so on.
I'm scared.
Hey, see you in the ring, gladiator, and don't forget the cupcakes.
[Laughs.]
This is fun.
[Energetic dance music.]
Bring it on ring the alarm don't stop now just be the champion work it hard like it's your profession [Sighs.]
Raquel, you know I love you, but do I really need to be here? Yeah.
We're here to support Omar.
That's what friends do, Keisha.
Which applies to Omar how? Yeah.
[Sighs.]
What's that? Some magic potion to make me give a damn? [Whistle blasts.]
Hold on.
Here he comes.
[Yells indistinctly.]
Hut! Go Omar! Whoo! Yay.
[Groans.]
Oh, that didn't hurt, did it? [Whistle blasts.]
You okay? Sure, why wouldn't I be? Let's go pitch right, 324 slot motion.
Toss on one.
Ready? All: Break! Go, Omar! Whoo! Hut! [Gasps.]
Aw, what's the matter? You can't take a hit? Omar, are you okay? Raquel? Keisha? What the hell are y'all doing here? We came to be sure you were still breathing.
I'm fine.
I just got the wind knocked out of me.
Hey! Hey! I'm talking to you.
Was that necessary? Hmm? Really? Raquel.
What are you doing? You are embarrassing yourself and me.
I'm trying to help you.
I don't need your help.
I can fight my own battles.
Then what are you waiting for, hmm? [Whistle blasts.]
[Laughs.]
Set white 190.
Aw, where'd your mama go? She's not gonna kiss your little boo-boo? White 190, 54.
Say hut! Ah! Whoo! Whoo! Okay.
[Laughs.]
[Cheering.]
[Groans.]
You okay, boo-boo? You want me to call your mommy? Hello, everyone.
Hey, how you doing today? What up, brother? Okay, I'm gonna need everyone to step back a little bit please.
Thank you.
What is it? What's wrong? It's empty.
Of course it is.
- Man, this is a bunch - So what happens now? If there aren't any further challenges, this should settle the matter.
I'll be filing the will in probate court this week.
And I'll be filing a new motion to stay the proceedings tomorrow.
What? Just because the evidence isn't in here doesn't mean that these two don't know where it is.
Come on, Keisha.
So you're just going to keep fooling yourself about this guy? You're better than that, Keisha.
You know what? Malcolm, don't.
He's not worth it.
Let's go.
You need to get out of my father's house.
Yeah, dog, while you still can walk.
You both think you can get away with anything.
Do whatever you want no matter who it hurts.
Last time we met, you were under federal investigation, and here we are again, but now you're in my world, and you should know, I don't back down, and I don't lose.
Excuse me.
Let's go.
Oh, babe, I forgot my purse.
[Laughs.]
[Smooth music.]
Hey, babe, how you feeling? Like I got jumped at a rest stop, and not in a good way.
You beat up a man who's a walking brick wall.
What made you think you could do that? I spent a lot of time around a fighter, or at least I thought I did.
Fine, I get it.
You're not gonna let up on this whole Wyatt thing, are you? Depends.
Are you gonna call him? [Knock at door.]
Ooh, what's he doing here? Wait, you're not actually gonna let him in? I took him out once.
I can do it again.
I'm sorry.
We're closed.
But there's a store for tall, dark, and dickish right around the corner.
Yeah, I guess I kind of deserved that.
Can I come in? Don't worry.
I'm just here to apologize.
Listen, I know I can get a little competitive out there.
You call this "a little competitive"? I'm a personal trainer.
Occupational hazard.
I just want you to know I'm working on it, and I am sorry.
Apology accepted.
Have a nice life.
Also, I wanted to tell you how impressed I was with you out on the field.
You showed a lot of character out there, and I hope I didn't turn you off to the league.
Oh, no.
I'll be back out there If you think you can handle it.
In the meantime, I was wondering if you'd like to go out for a drink? Well, like, on a date? Well, it doesn't have to be a big deal or anything.
I was just thinking that it, you know, might be fun.
[Bright electronic music.]
[Line trilling.]
Speak.
Oh, Wyatt? It's Raquel.
Raquel Lancaster.
Okay.
Listen, about the other night I was just trying to do some business, and I didn't want any distractions.
Yeah, you were pissed because I was getting in your way.
You were a bit much.
Yeah, I guess I was.
But you were direct.
That's required sometimes.
I get that.
Well, you would be one of the few.
I was thinking if the invitation still stood that maybe we should get together and talk shop.
You want to go out with me.
I want to take a meeting if you're open to it.
Yeah.
I'll have my secretary call and set it up.
Great.
Well, I look forward to hearing from [dial tone droning.]
Really? Announcer: Next on Single Ladies Naomi, is that you? So we're bonding now? I found this stuck in between some books by your father's safe.
There's a bonus for the first snake who can bite Kiki.
Sharpen your fangs.
I am so much better at this than you are.
If he fights dirty, you fight smart and maybe a little dirty.
Sean says that you can't fire me.
I can put your treacherous ass on administrative leave.
I just got engaged.
Whoo! She's lost her damn mind.
There is more to you than meets the eye.
Oh.
Are you just now figuring that out? He made my want to keep my mind, my body
Don't come out here talking about you know what I'm going through.
You're right.
I don't.
I'm done with traveling for a while, Keish.
Let's just stay in this suite.
Alec Hanson at your service.
Raquel Lancaster.
As much as I would love the sexy diversion from all the troubles in my life, this is just gonna get me in more trouble.
Take that to business affairs.
They're on the second floor, and while you're down there, talk to them about your deal.
Eve just broke up with me.
She's pulling her investment in Indulgence.
My client and I are here to contest the last will and testament of Mr.
Malcolm Franks, Sr.
Who the hell are you? His wife.
Single yeah and you say love city ladies crazy what I want, up to me I can follow, I can lead lose control you can't get my love I know you want it oh, yeah want it single - ladies - where my single ladies at? When the clock strikes 12:00 I'm a set it off just like I wanna baby, when the clock strikes 12:00 we gonna turn it up Wow.
That is great.
How cool is it that you know the club owner? Co-owner.
Carter's a private investor.
We met in business school.
Ah, a kindred spirit.
No wonder you guys get along so well.
Oh, my God.
I love this song.
- Let's go dance.
- Oh, two seconds.
- Let's say hi to Carter first.
- Okay.
Hey, Raquel.
I knew my ears were burning.
I wanted to introduce you to my dearest April Goldberg, of course.
I read all about your new gig online.
Felicia Price, huh? Should I congratulate you or offer condolences? A little bit of both, I guess.
[All laugh softly.]
Are you going to join us for a drink? Oh, no, no, no.
You guys go catch up.
I can entertain myself.
In fact, I think Keisha's coming in a sec.
Drinks are on me.
Enjoy.
Sweet.
Thank you.
Hey, can I get a dirty Martini, two olives? Thank you.
I only got two words.
"Spec-tacular.
" That's only one word.
"Breath-taking.
" Still only one.
Smoking hot.
Dude, come on.
It's the dress.
Oh, I was referring to me.
I mean, but you look cute too.
David Berenger.
Does that normally work for you? I'll tell you in a minute.
Let me get that.
No, no, that's okay.
It's already comped.
"Fan-tastic.
" Sir, can I get another? Now, how long do I have to stand here before you give me your name? Three years this trick has worked for Frank Jewels, and you didn't know about it.
I probably met her in passing, T.
It's a big company.
And you're the president of it, Malcolm.
Look, all we know right now is that this Naomi Cox is some kind of a low-level marketing coordinator, all right? And she's claiming she had some kind of a relationship with pops.
That bitch can claim whatever she wants.
That doesn't mean that she was married to him.
Of course not, T.
But you know and I know that pops was a womanizer.
Plus this Naomi is claiming that they got married somewhere down in the Caribbean, which already sounds suspect, but you have got to calm down.
There is a lot to look into here, and the lawyers are looking into it, and they are working on this.
Tell them to work faster.
Am I gonna have to stay here and get my switch? No, no, we're fine, Keisha.
Go be with your friends.
I will as soon as I figure out which suitcase I left my earrings in.
What? You mean these earrings? Pow.
Okay.
I guess I'm going.
But don't make me have to come back here, hmm? - Hmm.
- Mm.
[Cell phone vibrating.]
Yeah.
What? Man, you got to be kidding me.
Malcolm, what happened? What? That was pop's lawyer.
He said that Naomi's challenge to the will is going forward.
What does that mean? Were she and your father actually married? They don't know, Keisha.
They just don't know.
The deposition is tomorrow.
Until then, everything stays in limbo.
Put your hands on my waist You were the best study partner ever.
Until you ditched me for What was his name? Rich Sorenson.
Mm, that man was everything.
He took the best notes in advanced marketing, and he had an ass that deserved its own soundtrack.
[Laughs.]
You should be proud of yourself.
You've done a great job of building Indulgence in the short time you've owned it.
Thank you.
Why do I feel like there's a big "but" coming? Not a big one.
The market's in recovery, but you know how it is.
Investors want a sure thing.
Commodities, tech start-ups And Indulgence does well, but fashion is a higher risk.
I get it.
Well, let me do some digging.
Maybe I can find a name or two.
I know if anyone can Okay, okay, yeah, wait, wait, wait.
So you're from Cobb County? - Yeah.
- I'm from Cobb County.
- Really? - Sure.
I used to live right next to the thing, you know? Near the barn, across the street from the Freezie Cream.
Are you playing me? Me? You? No, never.
Good, 'cause don't joke about my Freezie Cream.
I take my mint oreo swirlies very seriously.
Let me guess.
You used to work there sophomore, junior year of high school, and you hated it.
Junior, senior year, and I loved it.
Which I'm guessing is more than I can say for your job.
Oh, so now you can read me.
I think I already have.
Okay, well then hit me.
Okay, shoe salesman.
Sketchers.
Assistant manager.
No, no, wait.
- Manager by senior year.
- Wrong by a mile.
It was foot locker.
[Both laugh.]
I was close.
Hey, what do you say we get up out of here? No, I can't.
I can't.
I'm waiting for a friend.
[Cell phone ringing.]
"Have fun"? It looks as though this friend here Read my mind.
Oh oh my body is your party Oh, God.
- I've never done this.
- What? Make out with a guy? Me neither.
Oh, God.
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
I got to go.
I got to go.
I'm starting a new job tomorrow.
Congratulations.
Let me inside so I can give you a present.
No.
No, no.
This is important.
I got to go.
- I got to get up early.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- I got to go.
- Okay.
For what it's worth, you strike me as an individual that can use A little celebration.
Okay.
Deal.
All I needed was 5.
Let's get started Oh-oh-oh So how'd it go? - Did you totally own it? - Always.
But raising my line of credit is going to be a little tricky right now.
You know what they say.
Every "no" is one step closer to a "yes.
" So where did you disappear to last night? Oh, yeah, sorry.
Keisha couldn't make it, and you know, I just figured I'd let you and Carter talk.
But you know what? Hey, give me your take on this.
Sure, what's up? So it's my first day at price management in, like, half an hour.
Look at all the invitations they sent out.
Whoa.
All of these in a month? Girl, in one week.
Like, I barely got this job.
If I snub the wrong person, it'll be over before it even started.
Okay.
What are we dealing with? Okay, so I have Usher's birthday party.
I have the B.
B.
A.
reception tonight at 9:00.
- I have the freestyle competition.
- Whoa, hold up.
What was that last one? - The freestyle competition? - No.
The B.
B.
A.
As in "Business For a Better Atlanta"? Yeah, why? You think I should go? Huh.
What is it? Hold on.
I'm just checking something.
Okay, but We're still on me, right? [Smooth hip-hop music.]
Malcolm Sr.
and I met at Franks Jewels.
I was working in marketing.
He would drop by from time to time, ostensibly to check in on the company.
He would always make time to check on me.
He was so cute.
Miss Cox, let's stay on point.
We dated for over two years.
Mac that's what I called him he wanted to go public with our relationship, but I was building my career.
I was worried about the backlash.
I knew people would doubt us.
Tell them what happened in Martinique.
Uh Mac flew me out to the Caribbean on a whim.
Before I knew it, we were standing in front of the justice of the peace, and he slipped this on my finger.
"He slipped this on my" How much longer do we have to sit here - and listen to this bull? - Terrence, enough, all right? Listen, even if she did marry my pops, which, of course, I highly doubt, but let's just say she did.
It was only for two weeks.
Two weeks.
That doesn't entitle you to anything.
Unless your father intended to leave my client part of his estate.
Is that what she's saying? [Laughs.]
He wrote it down on a piece of the hotel stationary.
He told me to put it in the safe at his house along with our marriage certificate.
You expect anyone to believe that? It doesn't matter, Keisha, because she isn't getting anywhere near that safe.
Actually, that's not your call.
He's right, Malcolm.
It's my job to make sure your father's interests are protected.
I'm having the estate put under security.
Whoa, whoa.
You're doing what? No one goes anywhere near that safe until we can all reconvene and see what's in it.
Now how's 8:00 tomorrow night work for everyone? - Works fine.
- Yep.
Fine.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
Sean.
Know this: I am gonna bury you.
I'll be out in a sec, okay? Sean, why are you doing this? Hey, look, she came to me with a legitimate claim.
I'm just doing my job.
Now, the opportunity to take your Mr.
Big down a notch, well, that was an added bonus.
Is that what this is about? You're jealous.
Of Malcolm? Hardly.
Look, Keisha, the man is the most corrupt, - shady - Shady? You mean like the time you cheated on me and fathered a child with another woman type shady? I thought we were past all that.
We were.
And that's where you should have stayed, in the past.
Excuse me.
- Wait.
- You need to pick out a suit.
What's happening? Are we back on caffeine? The B.
B.
A.
annual reception and fundraiser is tonight, and we're both going.
The B.
B.
what now? Business For a Better Atlanta.
A bunch of old money CEO's get together to share ideas and talk about new opportunities.
No thanks.
I don't do aged meat.
Omar, I need you for this.
It's more than just a networking opportunity.
It's a total game changer and a chance to take Indulgence to the next level.
Which still begs the question, why me? Because, networking events are lech-y, and if I'm gonna have any success at finding an investor, I don't want to worry about guys trying to hit on me.
I need you to be my wingman.
You want me to be your beard.
So you'll do it? [Sighs.]
Fine.
Maybe I'll get adopted like Daddy Warbucks.
Great.
Are you sure you're all right? Yeah, it's just Keisha, my pops never would have gave that woman a dime.
He wouldn't do that to me and Terrence.
Speak of the devil.
What's up, Keisha? - Hey.
- So what are we doing about this? "We"? We aren't gonna do anything about this, T.
You're gonna let me handle it.
Look, even if that Naomi chick is telling the truth, you and I still own most of the company.
We stick together, that broad ain't got nothing.
- Terrence, I swear to - Malcolm, maybe you should hear him out.
Babe, this ain't open for discussion.
Oh, it's open.
We partners now.
You can't just shut me out.
Watch me.
Sorry.
Yeah-yeah yeah yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah yeah-yeah, yeah - yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah - Uh, hi.
Good morning.
Hello.
I'm April.
Can you just direct me? No? Uh Oh, Felicia.
Hi.
Deliveries are on the second floor.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
It's April Goldberg, remember? It's my first day.
Oh, right.
But, darling, no one eats gluten anymore.
[Gasps.]
You.
You.
W what are you doing here? I mean, I was gonna call you.
Ooh, cupcakes.
My favorite.
Now, I know I was pretty good last night, but really, you shouldn't have.
What are you doing here? Uh, I work here.
And can I have that back? No, you can't have it back.
This is for the staff.
It's not for you.
You're the new manager? I'm a manager here too.
Uh, seriously? Yeah, six years now.
Isn't this great? No, no.
It's awful.
Why? Is this because we had sex? Shh.
Shh.
Will you please lower your voice? What? Look.
The whole sex thing doesn't have to be an issue.
I mean, granted, it was spectacular.
Oh, damn.
Earth-moving.
I was amazing, which upped your performance.
But I mean, look, if you want to keep this strictly professional, I'm totally fine with that.
I absolutely do.
So good.
Fine.
Fine.
Done.
Done.
Finitos.
Now stand your little lime green self up, and I'll escort you to your new office.
I have an office? Yes, you do, because around here, we believe in generosity as the key.
Hey, Ricky, you owe me $5.
Don't make me look for you.
I'll steal that damn vest.
So what do you think? Uh, I love it.
So what's next? Staff meeting tomorrow.
Felicia's looking for pitches for new talent.
She's looking to sign the next big thing, so if you want to run any ideas, I'm right across the hall.
Okay, thanks, but I'm fine.
All right.
Suit yourself.
But consider me a source.
Felicia and her minions love to devour new flesh.
Kind of like how I did you last night.
No one's supposed to know.
David? Maybe throwing around some ideas would be good, so sure.
All right, well, great.
How about tonight? Your office? Okay, but strictly business.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
[Dramatic hip-hop music.]
Got your message.
Want to tell me what we doing here, why I shouldn't drown your ass in this lake? Have a seat, Terrence.
I'll stand.
Come on, what do you want? I want you to know that, sooner or later, the truth is going to come out.
When it does, you don't want to be on the wrong side of this.
Is that a threat? It's an opportunity.
I know your father would never leave me a majority share of Franks Jewels, but my shares combined with yours That could be enough to take control of the company.
We could run this place.
[Chuckles.]
We? [Laughs.]
Bitch, please.
I also know that Malcolm has never taken you seriously.
I'm offering you what your brother never would: Trust, respect, and a controlling interest in Franks Jewels.
In exchange for what? My undying loyalty.
Just, uh, promise me that you'll think about it.
[Energetic dance music.]
Is that what you're wearing to the B.
B.
A.
reception? Some papi chulo plays his cards right, he could wake up with all of this.
Oh, what? Like a one night stand? Ugh.
I don't get those.
Hang on, judge-y.
I know what you did last mayor.
[Laughs.]
Oh.
Okay, we get it.
My past is a mess.
Whatever.
I'm just saying, when you hook up with someone that you just met, it can be weird in ways you never imagined.
Random hook-ups aren't really my thing either.
See.
Well, except that one time.
You ever meet someone so good, they make you realize you've been doing it wrong your whole life? Mmm, mmm.
- Esteban - Been there.
No, I feel like that hardly ever happens, right? Well, that's the beauty of the one-nighter.
Screw them and shoo them.
Pump them and dump them.
Ride them and Shoot, I thought I had something.
Keish, you are in a committed relationship.
Isn't that the best sex ever? It's true.
It's nothing like knowing I can get my Saturday love, but back in the day, we had a name for girls who were always out being ratchet.
Amateurs.
Mm-hmm.
But, honey, I must admit, I've had me some amateur hours.
Not to mention professional.
Oh, and what about the morning after when you can't find your thong? Or his.
And you've got pop rocks all in your [laughter.]
Why would you have pop rocks up oh, you heifers are nasty.
All right, y'all, you know what? This is still a place of business.
Thank you.
Ooh, sex at work is hot.
Nothing like a messy break room nooner to out a little pep in your step.
Which reminds me, we're out of paper towels.
Ugh.
Well, it all sounds like a bad idea to me.
Break room sex.
One night stands.
Seriously, people get hurt, lives get ruined.
It's just who have you been screwing? Nobody.
Oh, hell, no.
What are you doing here? Hello.
Keisha, is it? I had no idea you worked here.
Could you get me these in a size six? Okay, now look, you may have tricked Sean into becoming your own personal lap dog, but if you think you can just walk in here and play me sweetie.
I did just walk in here.
When I do play, I play for keeps.
Ooh.
I see who you are.
I see all you're ever going to be and that's a gold-digging ho.
[Chuckles.]
Wow.
I guess I've underestimated you.
What with your thousand-dollar heels and the way you have Malcolm wrapped around your little finger, hardly anyone would guess, you're just a jewelry-snatching, Booty-popping, video ViXen.
You've done such a nice job of hiding it, but you can't hide it from me.
Ew.
Who was that? Holy Christian Louboutin.
There's two of you.
[Upbeat rock music.]
You know I'm bad at communication it's the hardest thing for me to do and it's said it's the most important part that relationships will go through ready? Ready? I was born ready.
You remember the plan, right? Omar? Omar? [Mellow hip-hop music.]
Work it, ladies.
Nice job.
Mike? Mike Hammond? Omar? Omar Kearse.
I thought I saw you walk in.
Man, I haven't seen you since since you threw that interception to lose the state championship.
The way I remember it, you missed the catch.
I wouldn't have missed it had you thrown it anywhere near me.
Yeah, it's good to see you.
You too.
So who's that beautiful lady I saw you walk in with? Can I take this to mean you're no longer gay? Please, after all that crap you took for me in high school, how could I go straight? Yeah, and without you, I'd never have gotten Jess to go out with me.
Yeah, without me, you'd still be wearing Jenko's and a Caesar cut.
How is Jess? She's good.
You should drop by sometime.
She'd love to see you.
Better yet, you should come out tomorrow and play ball with us.
Us? Me and a couple of guys.
Regular game at Piedmont Park.
Come on, it'll be just like old times, what do you say? Hello, hello, hello - whoa, oh, whoa - [hip-hop music.]
Hello, hello, hello Okay, so here's the thing.
You all have wives, girlfriends.
Some of you have both.
I guarantee you when they see what Indulgence has to offer, when they try on they try on those new Balenciagas, that little backless dress When they want to express their gratitude for that French lingerie, you'll truly understand the value of what I'm offering.
Yeah, hey.
So what's your capital reserve situation looking like? Hmm? I'm right here.
Sorry, in the back, yes.
Well, clearly we'd like the company to grow, so I'd never say no to a motivated investor.
But why would an investor be motivated if we don't know your sales metrics.
Just curious.
Well, this isn't exactly the time or the place to discuss that, but, I'd be happy to set up a meeting, and we discuss details.
What's wrong with right now? I mean, you don't think these guys have any interest in your boutique, do you? Yeah, actually, I do.
Which ones? 'Cause Scott here is a no-go.
I mean, he is just a one-way ticket to bankruptcy.
Okay, just show of hands, which of you guys are here just to ogle the pretty girl? Gentlemen, gentlemen.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Wait, ignore him.
If you just give me a minute to get your contact information, I could it looks like you lost them.
I lost them.
I lost them? Well, that's what I said.
What's your problem? I'm hungry and these people are dull.
Do you want to go to dinner with me? You can't just come in here and ambush me.
Who do you think you are? You coming or what? No, I'm not coming.
Why not? Because.
Because? Because I'm having dinner Yeah.
With my boyfriend.
Cool, where is he? Hmm? Where is he? He can come.
Well, he's just right over here.
We almost done here? I met a cute waiter who gets off in 15.
This is your boyfriend? Okay, fine.
I don't have a boyfriend.
Then why did you just tell me that Why do you think? Yes, we, we're done.
Shall we? He's almost cute.
He was a jerk.
Excuse me.
Was that Artie Wyatt you were talking to? Could you introduce me? Trust me, don't bother.
Are you kidding? His software company is about to go public.
He's basically the next Mark Zuckerberg.
So blowing him off, not the best plan, huh? [Sighs.]
Perfect.
You own me money for this Chinese food.
Okay, okay, okay, business.
All right.
So I'm thinking of going with Shilah.
She's raw and soulful.
She has a a Nina Simone vibe.
Ooh.
Sounds a little too niche.
You got something bigger? How about Mark Larue? You know, Larue is definitely cool.
Really? Yeah, my only problem is, he might be a little too cool, you know, for a mass audience.
You got something else? Uh, there is this one act.
He's definitely mainstream, but he's not great.
Whoa! You never start a pitch off with "not great.
" Felicia will chew your head off.
Okay, okay.
He's actually a hip-hop artist from Columbus.
His name is G-Force, and he thinks he's hard, but he's soft, but he's cute.
I think he's cute.
That's your guy.
Really? Hear what I'm saying.
Felicia likes guys that are cute and can sell a ton of downloads.
And if you pitch this guy, she's going to love you.
She'll let you sign whoever you want.
Okay.
Now, can I have my half of this Chinese food? [Dark hip-hop music.]
Hey, get off me.
Malcolm? What are you doing here? Just making sure you don't do something stupid, you know, like try to break into dad's house.
Now, you need to get out of here before somebody hears us.
Look, I know you're angry, T.
Okay? About Naomi, but she's lying.
She's lying, and it's just a matter of time before the truth comes out.
I'm not sure she is lying.
What are you talking about? Look, she stepped to me tonight.
And the way that she was talking, I'm not sure if she is lying.
I think she's telling the truth.
Terrence.
She's playing you, okay? She's playing you, man.
How can you not see that? What if she's playing both of us? We need to go in there and pop that safe before someone else does so we know what we're dealing with, Malcolm.
Come on, man.
Trust me on this.
Trust you? Man, you are risking my reputation and the reputation of this company.
I'm trying to help us.
By committing a felony.
Now you tell me when, T, when did that become your solution to everything? The day I went to prison for your ass.
Damn it.
[Sighs.]
Terrence, you do this, and I'm calling the police myself.
You would call the police on your own brother? You make me dial this phone, and we're done.
We're done being brothers.
[Dramatic hip-hop music.]
New signings are only up 2% this quarter.
That's 2% more than the zero's you have all become.
Now, who can tell me how to fix this before I drive this pencil through your heart? Where is my phone? August, how about you? Right, so I was thinking of going with this new hip-hop artist named G-Force.
That dreadful bubble gum act from Columbus? Well, I thought he had mainstream appeal.
And I was under the impression that you had taste, but I guess we're both wrong, right? Who can show our neophyte and her hair how it's done? David, do you have anything you want to add? One word: Shilah.
She's an R&B singer in Athens.
Her last single got over She reminds me of a young Nina Simone, but if that's too niche, I was thinking of maybe Mark Larue.
He's a local boy, and if we play our cards right, we can probably snag him before he blows right up.
Now, that is the type of outside-of-the-box thinking I expect from all of you! Get out! Get get out! And don't come back until you guys can live up to David's example.
My God.
August, that goes double for you.
Hey! What the hell was that? You just stole my best ideas.
I know.
Fun, right? [Laughs.]
Fun? Oh, come on.
Ideas get poached all the time.
That's the nature of the business.
Take it as lesson number one.
Never trust anyone.
You you're the devil.
No, I'm a professional, and this is a cutthroat business.
Remember, you came on my turf.
I got a career to protect.
Now, now, now.
You didn't think you was gonna get a pass just because we slept together? Oh! No, I didn't think I was gonna get a pass.
And you know what, David, I don't need one.
Good.
Good.
I guess it's game on then.
It is so on.
I'm scared.
Hey, see you in the ring, gladiator, and don't forget the cupcakes.
[Laughs.]
This is fun.
[Energetic dance music.]
Bring it on ring the alarm don't stop now just be the champion work it hard like it's your profession [Sighs.]
Raquel, you know I love you, but do I really need to be here? Yeah.
We're here to support Omar.
That's what friends do, Keisha.
Which applies to Omar how? Yeah.
[Sighs.]
What's that? Some magic potion to make me give a damn? [Whistle blasts.]
Hold on.
Here he comes.
[Yells indistinctly.]
Hut! Go Omar! Whoo! Yay.
[Groans.]
Oh, that didn't hurt, did it? [Whistle blasts.]
You okay? Sure, why wouldn't I be? Let's go pitch right, 324 slot motion.
Toss on one.
Ready? All: Break! Go, Omar! Whoo! Hut! [Gasps.]
Aw, what's the matter? You can't take a hit? Omar, are you okay? Raquel? Keisha? What the hell are y'all doing here? We came to be sure you were still breathing.
I'm fine.
I just got the wind knocked out of me.
Hey! Hey! I'm talking to you.
Was that necessary? Hmm? Really? Raquel.
What are you doing? You are embarrassing yourself and me.
I'm trying to help you.
I don't need your help.
I can fight my own battles.
Then what are you waiting for, hmm? [Whistle blasts.]
[Laughs.]
Set white 190.
Aw, where'd your mama go? She's not gonna kiss your little boo-boo? White 190, 54.
Say hut! Ah! Whoo! Whoo! Okay.
[Laughs.]
[Cheering.]
[Groans.]
You okay, boo-boo? You want me to call your mommy? Hello, everyone.
Hey, how you doing today? What up, brother? Okay, I'm gonna need everyone to step back a little bit please.
Thank you.
What is it? What's wrong? It's empty.
Of course it is.
- Man, this is a bunch - So what happens now? If there aren't any further challenges, this should settle the matter.
I'll be filing the will in probate court this week.
And I'll be filing a new motion to stay the proceedings tomorrow.
What? Just because the evidence isn't in here doesn't mean that these two don't know where it is.
Come on, Keisha.
So you're just going to keep fooling yourself about this guy? You're better than that, Keisha.
You know what? Malcolm, don't.
He's not worth it.
Let's go.
You need to get out of my father's house.
Yeah, dog, while you still can walk.
You both think you can get away with anything.
Do whatever you want no matter who it hurts.
Last time we met, you were under federal investigation, and here we are again, but now you're in my world, and you should know, I don't back down, and I don't lose.
Excuse me.
Let's go.
Oh, babe, I forgot my purse.
[Laughs.]
[Smooth music.]
Hey, babe, how you feeling? Like I got jumped at a rest stop, and not in a good way.
You beat up a man who's a walking brick wall.
What made you think you could do that? I spent a lot of time around a fighter, or at least I thought I did.
Fine, I get it.
You're not gonna let up on this whole Wyatt thing, are you? Depends.
Are you gonna call him? [Knock at door.]
Ooh, what's he doing here? Wait, you're not actually gonna let him in? I took him out once.
I can do it again.
I'm sorry.
We're closed.
But there's a store for tall, dark, and dickish right around the corner.
Yeah, I guess I kind of deserved that.
Can I come in? Don't worry.
I'm just here to apologize.
Listen, I know I can get a little competitive out there.
You call this "a little competitive"? I'm a personal trainer.
Occupational hazard.
I just want you to know I'm working on it, and I am sorry.
Apology accepted.
Have a nice life.
Also, I wanted to tell you how impressed I was with you out on the field.
You showed a lot of character out there, and I hope I didn't turn you off to the league.
Oh, no.
I'll be back out there If you think you can handle it.
In the meantime, I was wondering if you'd like to go out for a drink? Well, like, on a date? Well, it doesn't have to be a big deal or anything.
I was just thinking that it, you know, might be fun.
[Bright electronic music.]
[Line trilling.]
Speak.
Oh, Wyatt? It's Raquel.
Raquel Lancaster.
Okay.
Listen, about the other night I was just trying to do some business, and I didn't want any distractions.
Yeah, you were pissed because I was getting in your way.
You were a bit much.
Yeah, I guess I was.
But you were direct.
That's required sometimes.
I get that.
Well, you would be one of the few.
I was thinking if the invitation still stood that maybe we should get together and talk shop.
You want to go out with me.
I want to take a meeting if you're open to it.
Yeah.
I'll have my secretary call and set it up.
Great.
Well, I look forward to hearing from [dial tone droning.]
Really? Announcer: Next on Single Ladies Naomi, is that you? So we're bonding now? I found this stuck in between some books by your father's safe.
There's a bonus for the first snake who can bite Kiki.
Sharpen your fangs.
I am so much better at this than you are.
If he fights dirty, you fight smart and maybe a little dirty.
Sean says that you can't fire me.
I can put your treacherous ass on administrative leave.
I just got engaged.
Whoo! She's lost her damn mind.
There is more to you than meets the eye.
Oh.
Are you just now figuring that out? He made my want to keep my mind, my body
