Insecure (2016) s03e07 Episode Script
Obsessed-Like
1 ISSA DEE: I'm about to throw a block party.
You need a form for each act.
Some of the acts are TBD.
But I am on my way to "D'ing" 'em.
[LAUGHS.]
Which one is Andrew? Is he the black one or the Asian one? - MOLLY CARTER: The Asian one.
- Just try it out! Sometimes people can surprise you.
Like Nathan.
- How do you know when it's real? - It feels - pretty real to me.
- Yeah, it does.
I should probably go say hi to Lawrence.
- Uh, it's good to see again.
- Yeah, you too.
How was Lawrence? I think I'm finally over him.
Wow.
- What's wrong with you? - Nathan hasn't been picking up.
He hasn't hit me back in a minute.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
[SHARP GASP.]
ISSA: These dreams are so weird.
Why am I always losing my teeth? I need to look up what that means.
What time is it? Ooh.
I forgot to eat these.
I'm hungry.
What day is it? Really, Nathan? A whole-ass week? Fuck that.
Stop thinking about him, and start thinking about this block party.
OK.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Nathan? Ooh! Taye Diggs followed me? That's what's up.
Damn, that nigga follows everyone.
I wonder if he follows Nathan.
Don't be pressed, don't be pressed.
You're not pressed.
I don't care, I don't give a fuck I'm not pressed, I don't give a fuck - I'm so good, I should - [PHONE BUZZING.]
Ooh, you wanna hit me while I'm showering? You nasty! [LAUGHS.]
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace " Give it up, Mom! Don't nobody care about the Spirit's fruit.
- [SPLASH.]
- No! Been a long time Clean white sheets MOLLY: Oh, shit, you're from Gardena? What you know about Gardena? I know they got Cup-A-Noodles there.
- OK.
- I'm from Hyde Park.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
'Cause I was gettin' Ladera Heights vibes from you.
Ladera? Boy, I'm from Florence and Crenshaw.
Don't play me.
How can I play somebody who orders crawfish tail and collard greens like this isn't a date? - Hmph! Oh, this a date? - Mm-hmm.
Maybe I'm too sober to notice.
Well, I can fix that, Molly Squared.
You want a Thug's Passion? Are we still talkin' about the drink, or ? I am now.
[LAUGHS.]
So why'd you dodge me for so long? Honestly I was embarrassed by Coachella.
I was doin' the most, and you didn't need to see all that.
Well, maybe that's a good thing.
We don't have to pretend with each other.
- True.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, since we're not pretending, I do gotta get back to work.
On a Saturday? OK.
No, for real! I got a lot of work to do, and I'm trying to redeem myself with this presentation.
But I mean, if you're free tomorrow, maybe we can hang out.
Well, you bring the passion, I'll bring the thug.
- [LAUGHS.]
You were doing so well.
- Come on.
Say it.
Say it out loud.
Say it.
- No.
[LAUGHS.]
- Come on.
It's good! You said Florence and Crenshaw.
I gotta bring a little thug.
- Leave that to me.
- OK.
Bro, you got baby hair.
There's nothing thug about you.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
LAWRENCE: You're trippin', bruh.
I am not trippin'.
That big muthafucka got way too physical.
Yo, you called a foul before he even touched you.
He was coming straight for my face, bruh.
This my whole shit right here.
What? We still goin' to the club tonight? La Cita? Mad bitches at La Cita.
Nah.
I'm not tryin' to be all like that right now.
Plus, I gotta be up early tomorrow.
Why, what you got goin' on? I'm hittin' up church.
- You a T.
D.
Jakes nigga now? - No, man, I just I don't know, I just I feel like I should be goin' now.
You in a crisis, my nigga? Ain't shit wrong with you.
You got your big-ass TV, your hairline lookin' strong, like Safaree after Nicki.
I just wanna go.
A'ight? We could kick it some other time.
A'ight, a'ight.
I'll come.
OK? There's mad bitches at church.
[GASPS.]
ISSA: They're rotting out of my mouth! Stupid-ass dreams.
Oh.
Mm.
You cute.
Nathan must've forgot.
I'ma remind him.
- [CAMERA CLICKING.]
- Show a little titty.
Click bait, click bait, turn the cameras on - No, no, don't do that.

Also, you thirsty.
- [PHONE BUZZING.]
- ISSA: Yes! I knew that nigga couldn't resist.
- Are you sure this is the right - Yep, yep, yep! Bye.
FRIEDA: Oh my god! I have the same top.
ISSA: Girl, he buys you one taco, and you bust it wide open on a Ferris wheel.
Simple.
That's why he's not fuckin' with you.
Nah.
It's probably 'cause you got butt-ass naked in your childhood pool, sharing your family issues and shit.
Niggas don't do that.
Honestly, I think he ghosted on you for saying you rap to yourself in the mirror.
That is psycho.
Or what about when you told Nathan all those weird facts about camels? Damn, I forgot about that.
LITTLE GIRL: I want this toy! Mommy, I want this toy! Mommy, I want this ISSA: You ain't got nothin' to say, huh? - [GIRL SCREAMING.]
- He's actually really ugly when you look at him.
That weak-ass fade! Barber where? Oh, so now you like L.
A.
? I knew it! Who this bitch, Nathan?! Oh, it's your mom.
She looks young for 50.
Boy, bring that dick here - I know you see me on IG - True - I know you see me on Snapchat - True But you still don't pay me no attention ISSA: Who changed the password on our stalker account? KELLI: My bad.
I got paranoid.
Here you go: "slapaho64.
" CITY GIRLS: DM, what you gon' do? ISSA: What happens when a fake bitch slides into your DMs? Not tryin' to push a rush on you ISSA: Shit! Not Mokessa! Delete! Delete! Delete! See, Jesus gave us freedom, but we have to use that freedom to serve a much higher purpose.
If all we do is gratify our own desires and wants, then we're no longer truly free.
Bad bitch over there, fine bitch right here.
This bitch mediocre, but I'd still hit the drawers.
- You know what I'm sayin'? - Come on, man.
I'm tryin' to hear what he's sayin'.
the yoke of bondage.
That is the message of this verse.
Bondage can come in so many ways, y'all.
Envyin's, emulations, lasciviousness, and and that's just on Instagram.
[LAUGHTER.]
Come on, now, forget about who is "likin'" you, and worry about who's loving you.
- And that is Jesus.
- ALL: Amen.
Slide out the DM, slide on into one of these pews up in here, hallelujah! ALL: Hallelujah! - Hallelujah! - ALL: Hallelujah! 'Cause Jesus is the plug.
Hey! [LAUGHTER.]
You know, I logged onto Twitter last night.
You wanna know the first thing it asked me? Hmm? "What's happenin'?" So I'm here to ask you the same thing about your soul.
Now, you know I need a few more of these amens.
ALL: Amen! Now you may have strayed away from God, or succumbed to temptation, but if you believe that Jesus is speakin' to you today, and you want to recommit your life to the Lord stand up, beg Jesus to take you back.
Hey, should we get out [CRYING.]
I've strayed, man.
I've strayed so far.
[SOBBING.]
[BAND PLAYING UPBEAT MUSIC.]
[BAND ENDS SONG.]
[CONGREGATION APPLAUDING.]
[PHONE CHIMING.]
Mmm.
Taurean, hey.
Wait till you see what I got to close this thing out with.
That's what I'm callin' about.
I just heard I got an expedited hearing tomorrow.
Judge Green demanded I be present in chambers for 10:30.
Oh, dang.
Will you still be back in time for our presentation? Not sure.
I need to postpone it.
Postpone it? [STAMMERS.]
I just found the perfect precedent for the case.
That's great, but I want to look at it first.
Sure.
No problem.
[SIGHS.]
All right, my niggas, see you next Sunday? Bludso's after service.
Amen.
Oh, this was great! Yeah, yeah, it was, man.
Music was good.
But that sermon was just Right? I mean, it just spoke to me, bruh.
I don't know, man.
My yoke just had hella bondage.
- All right, love you, man.
- Yeah.
Wade in the water God's gonna trouble the water You didn't want to get saved? Ha.
Uh, it was my first time, and I feel like you gotta work your way up to that.
I get it.
I had to warm up to the pop metaphors.
So you been comin' here for a while? Yeah.
It's a great service.
I've met some good folk.
I really get my spirit fed.
I've gotten a lot out of it.
Yeah.
That's what I'm hopin' for, too.
Plus, the after-service snacks are bomb.
You know I got a cruller in my pocket, right? [LAUGHS.]
Thanks for comin' early.
Hey.
- Mwah.
- Ordered you a rosé.
- You're buying, right? - [MOLLY LAUGHS.]
You got jokes.
How's the presentation coming along? It's supposed to be tomorrow, but my partner, he keeps micromanaging me.
- Ooh.
Just beat him up.
- What? Molly Squared told me she had a bully phase.
She did, huh? She talk too much.
I don't know.
She's a lot of fun.
Said a lot of things.
Nnnn.
What, you don't remember? No, I don't.
Well, good, 'cause I told you stuff, too.
- Oh, right, you did.
- Mm-hmm.
Like how you told me you auditioned for B2K? Oh, look who got her memory back.
[LAUGHS.]
- Mm-hmm.
- It's inconvenient.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
So, uh, how's the food here? Oh, it's real good.
Mm-hmm.
Makes me wanna go "bump, bump, bump.
" OK, listen, I woulda been in, I was in.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
But you know what else I remember? You telling me how you kissed your boy's girlfriend.
- OK.
- Grimy.
Oh, says the girl who hooked up with her married friend? Mm-hmm.
Grime recognize grime.
I'm not grimy, and you don't know the situation.
OK.
Tell me the situation.
Um he led me to believe it was something it wasn't.
A married man led you on? Wow.
[LAUGHS.]
- Come on.
- That's not funny.
Sorry, I I was just playin'.
I didn't know it was still a sore subject.
I don't give a fuck.
People out here lookin' out for themselves, so I'm lookin' out for me.
OK.
You know, you can, uh you can beat me up, if you want to.
- No, I just wanna leave.
- For real? Molly.
What? Molly.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hey.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
ISSA: What's that sound? My teeth fallin' out? - [PHONE BUZZING.]
- Is that Nathan? Please be Nathan.
[BUZZING.]
- Hello? - Hey, it's Roger.
- ISSA: Who Roger? - I own the building.
Yes, Roger.
Of course, Roger.
Hi Roger.
The plumber's been waiting outside for 20 minutes.
You were supposed to meet him at 8:30.
Yep.
Here I come.
ISSA: How did you oversleep, idiot girl? Hold up.
It's not your fault.
It's Nathan's fault.
Fuckin' up my livelihood, keepin' me up wonderin' where he is.
Stop fuckin' with my heart! Nigga, you was my dream, fool ISSA: "Thanks for the cut"? So you alive and cuttin' hair and shit, but you can't text nobody back? You can't take the time to text or call me?! Fuckin' grown-ass man on some childish-ass shit! Shoes.
Stop fuckin' with my heart! Hey, Molly, any word on when Taurean will be back? Oh, I haven't heard from him today.
- OK, well - But I'm excited for you guys to hear what we've put together.
- Yeah? - I found some new research on the proper accommodations for employees with substance abuse.
You're gonna be, like, "Whoa!" Sounds good.
Well, let us know when Taurean gets back.
He's always got clever ways to keep defendants on the ropes.
Keep me posted.
Or, um I can pinch-hit and do the presentation now.
- Oh.
- I mean, if you want.
I know the partners are extremely busy and on a tight schedule, but I'm sure you also want to get the ball rolling on this.
Sure.
I'll gather up the team.
- [ALARM CHIRPS.]
- Whatcha doin'? I just killed a fuckin' presentation.
- What's up? - I need a favor.
You know this is crazy, right? Girl, what is so crazy about buying fake desserts to bring to Andrew so I can see if Nathan's home? [LAUGHS.]
It's, like, lowkey, it's weird that you think it's weird.
You don't know what you saying.
ISSA: You don't know.
You out here looking crazy in pajamas.
You got me lookin' thirsty as fuck.
I told you, Andrew's canceled.
It was a bad date.
That happens.
- It's nobody's fault.
- It was his fault.
There is a thin line between being honest and being a dick, and he crossed it.
Well, I promise this won't take long.
No-it-sure-the-fuck-won't.
Look, I just want to know what's goin' on.
I wanna know why this nigga ghosted on me.
It's like, OK, sometimes my kisses are weird, but my tongue likes to do its own thing.
You ain't gotta Casper on me.
[SIGHS.]
You ready? Andrew, hey! Hey We were just, um, at Porto's Which is in Burbank, just like your house is, also, in Burbank.
Right, and I said we should bring you some desserts as a peace offering.
I hope we didn't wake you guys up.
At 6:00 p.
m.
? No.
And I'm the only one here.
ISSA: This Asian nigga lyin'.
Well, in that case I have to use the bathroom.
Could I use your bathroom? Uh sure.
Uh, there's a bathroom - just down here - Yeah, I see it.
Thank you! - Uh - MOLLY: So! Porto's? ISSA: What if he's not in there? Oh god, what if he is in there? Just go in! He'll be happy to see you.
Nuh-uh, bitch.
What if he's with someone else? He fuckin' better not be with someone else.
What if we just take a peek? Just a peeky-peek? Unless he is with someone else.
Then we gonna murder him in the dick.
[MICROWAVE BEEPING.]
Ohh.
You have got to get in on this.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm! It's so good! OK, what are you really doing here? 'Cause you didn't come all the way to Burbank for a cheese roll.
Um you're right.
Yeah, I came by to to talk.
OK.
You know, things got really weird last night.
You said some things, I said some things, and, um, I forgive you.
Yeah.
Me making a bad joke is pretty much the same thing as you leaving me alone in a bar.
Listen, you came at me like we knew each other.
You don't know me well enough to say some of the shit you did.
Look, at Coachella I meet one Molly, back here I meet another.
I don't know who the real Molly is, but are they all this fucked up? ISSA: Nathan messy.
But, like, is he recently messy? [SNIFFING.]
Yep.
That's you.
[SETS BOTTLE DOWN.]
Mm.
I wouldn't ever open any drawers, but So it did mean something to you.
[CLOSES DRAWER.]
Nah, girl, we are not about to go through his trash.
[SHORT LAUGH.]
Nah.
Nope.
Nope! Mnh-mnh.
But, like, what if I could guess his password? That'd be a sign.
H-O-U-S-T-O-N.
- [REJECTION BEEP.]
- Maybe that's a sign.
Unless I-S-S-A? MOLLY: Girl! What is you doin'? - Uh - Uh I knew I was done, baby, done, baby, done, baby Done, baby, baby Thought I loved you so, so So my heart said no-o-o And I woulda buss a 9 for you I woulda held your heart Iss, what's goin' on? For real.
ISSA: Don't say too much.
She might try to stop you from sneakin' back in.
I know your ass not thinkin' about sneakin' back in there.
No.
Then you need to let this go.
Issa, you up there hackin' a nigga's laptop? Fuck Nathan.
These niggas don't care about nobody.
They'll have you acting all outside of yourself if you let them.
I don't know, I just keep thinkin' it's my fault.
It's not your fault.
How is this your fault? 'Cause I let him in.
Maybe I shouldn't have been so honest.
Maybe it scared him.
If he gets scared off because you were too real, then why you want him, girl? Girl, what is it about him? Was the dick that bomb? ISSA: Yes.
It wasn't about that.
I mean he made me feel like more than a fuck-up.
You're not a fuck-up.
Stop.
I just don't know if anybody's ever gonna make me feel like that again.
[SIGHS.]
This place is cute.
I'm glad to see some color.
Yeah, I like the whole neo-soul vibe he got goin'.
He kinda look like Maxwell daddy.
Yeah, if you squint like this [BOTH LAUGH.]
Oh, so, tell me for real.
What'd you think of the service? I liked what the pastor said about having a higher purpose.
I must have missed that.
The metaphors took me out of it.
That's just how he connects with young people.
Oh.
I must not be young enough.
He a little corny, but at the heart there's always a real message.
You can rewatch it on his YouTube channel.
- OK.
- When I first started, I was just going through the motions, but once I got involved, I felt more connected.
And how long did that take? Obviously it's different for everybody.
I started with Bible study after my second week, then I joined the Life Runners, and I just started volunteering with the youth ministry a few weeks ago.
So wow, it's been like a year.
ISSA: Ugh.
Did I even sleep? I'm so fuckin' tired, my head hurts.
Was I crying? I hate everything.
You know what would make you better.
Knowing where Nathan is.
You could just drive by a couple more times.
If Molly hadn't stopped me, I probably could have gotten into his computer.
I could go back and try.
Andrew leaves around 8:00.
I think there was a window open.
He found somebody better.
He probably found somebody better than you.
Am I crazy? Stop being crazy.
You can stop.
Move on.
[SIGHS.]
I can't wait for it And I'ma need space for this I won't leave it Till I found my way Ah, this moment never been so important Can't find all the words that I wanted - - So I gotta sit - - [PHONE BUZZING.]
And wait for it all to come MOLLY: Hey, girl, just checkin' on you.
I know you had that deadline.
Let me know you're good.
LION BABE: Let it rain all alone No one's lover I'ma live in this - Yeah, yeah, yeah - [PHONE BUZZING.]
In control - - Like I've never Known it Just me, oh yeah In control - - Had to let it all go Oh, just me, oh yeah I can't wait for it, throw it all away MAN: Thanks to everybody for coming out today.
As a reminder to those of you who have completed your pitch decks already, at the end of this workshop, I will be judging them.
[STUDENTS LAUGH.]
- Who - Who you are MOLLY: Oh, hey.
when it's dark [SIGHS.]
- Hey.
- Hey! I wasn't tryin' to interrupt.
I didn't know you had a meeting.
No, it's all good.
Well, I just wanted to thank you for telling me about the workshop.
Yeah, was it helpful? Oh, yeah.
I mean, I was listening to someone tell me what to do with my deck while trying to finish my deck, but it was great.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
So, what time are you off? That was actually my last meeting.
You have time for coffee? Iced green tea for me, a long espresso for you.
- You remember.
- I still don't know what it is.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Oh! Guess who I drove in my Lyft the other day.
- Who? - I'll give you a hint.
He said I need a new "barbeurator.
" - Thug Yoda? For real? - [LAUGHS.]
Mm-hmm.
He caught me up on all the drama at The Dunes.
This white bitch tried to move in with her parakeet, Ms.
Trudy killed her.
- The white bitch? - [LAUGHS.]
No! The parakeet.
- Oh, Ms.
Trudy don't play.
She like it quiet.
- She does.
Lowkey, I miss that place.
Yeah, me, too.
So, um, how's Lyft? - The money good? - Oh, it's great.
Honestly, it's really fuckin' hard.
You know, after I moved out the apartment, I was stayin' on people's couches, and it was rough.
Yeah.
I get that.
But at a certain point, I was like you can't keep letting other people prop you up.
Sometimes you gotta do shit for yourself.
That's real.
You doin' the block party by yourself? I mean, basically.
I don't know if it's gonna work, 'cause 'Cause you still gettin' in your own head? - I'm trying to change that.
- Yeah.
I am.
Nah, I know what you mean.
I'm trying to make some changes, too.
I went to church the other day.
What?! You went to church? That's different.
Yeah, it was a lot.
Like, I don't know if all of that is for me.
This is just like you and Safeway sushi, when you swore that all sushi was trash.
I was 27, and nobody told me that I was eating beginner-nigga sushi.
[LAUGHS.]
My point is, there are other churches.
So just try another one.
A'ight, cool.
I'm gonna find me a church with some grown-up sushi.
Or just try one that's for you.
'Cause that's what I'm tryin' to do with this block party shit, just something for us, by us.
So, FUBU? No, I realized that soon as I said it.
Shut up.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
You gonna have L.
L.
as your spokesman? - Think he would do it? - No.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
How is it that you Keep on forgiving When I don't deserve it? When I was down You picked me up And now I'm flyin' high You told me I had Purpose on this earth When I ain't wanna stay here I waited patiently And you gave me Everything I ever needed My lifeline Oh my sunshine You're my everything You're the highest No one above you That's why I
You need a form for each act.
Some of the acts are TBD.
But I am on my way to "D'ing" 'em.
[LAUGHS.]
Which one is Andrew? Is he the black one or the Asian one? - MOLLY CARTER: The Asian one.
- Just try it out! Sometimes people can surprise you.
Like Nathan.
- How do you know when it's real? - It feels - pretty real to me.
- Yeah, it does.
I should probably go say hi to Lawrence.
- Uh, it's good to see again.
- Yeah, you too.
How was Lawrence? I think I'm finally over him.
Wow.
- What's wrong with you? - Nathan hasn't been picking up.
He hasn't hit me back in a minute.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
[SHARP GASP.]
ISSA: These dreams are so weird.
Why am I always losing my teeth? I need to look up what that means.
What time is it? Ooh.
I forgot to eat these.
I'm hungry.
What day is it? Really, Nathan? A whole-ass week? Fuck that.
Stop thinking about him, and start thinking about this block party.
OK.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Nathan? Ooh! Taye Diggs followed me? That's what's up.
Damn, that nigga follows everyone.
I wonder if he follows Nathan.
Don't be pressed, don't be pressed.
You're not pressed.
I don't care, I don't give a fuck I'm not pressed, I don't give a fuck - I'm so good, I should - [PHONE BUZZING.]
Ooh, you wanna hit me while I'm showering? You nasty! [LAUGHS.]
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace " Give it up, Mom! Don't nobody care about the Spirit's fruit.
- [SPLASH.]
- No! Been a long time Clean white sheets MOLLY: Oh, shit, you're from Gardena? What you know about Gardena? I know they got Cup-A-Noodles there.
- OK.
- I'm from Hyde Park.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
'Cause I was gettin' Ladera Heights vibes from you.
Ladera? Boy, I'm from Florence and Crenshaw.
Don't play me.
How can I play somebody who orders crawfish tail and collard greens like this isn't a date? - Hmph! Oh, this a date? - Mm-hmm.
Maybe I'm too sober to notice.
Well, I can fix that, Molly Squared.
You want a Thug's Passion? Are we still talkin' about the drink, or ? I am now.
[LAUGHS.]
So why'd you dodge me for so long? Honestly I was embarrassed by Coachella.
I was doin' the most, and you didn't need to see all that.
Well, maybe that's a good thing.
We don't have to pretend with each other.
- True.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, since we're not pretending, I do gotta get back to work.
On a Saturday? OK.

It's good! You said Florence and Crenshaw.
I gotta bring a little thug.

Bro, you got baby hair.
There's nothing thug about you.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
LAWRENCE: You're trippin', bruh.

Also, you thirsty.
- [PHONE BUZZING.]
- ISSA: Yes! I knew that nigga couldn't resist.
- Are you sure this is the right - Yep, yep, yep! Bye.
FRIEDA: Oh my god! I have the same top.
ISSA: Girl, he buys you one taco, and you bust it wide open on a Ferris wheel.
Simple.
That's why he's not fuckin' with you.
Nah.
It's probably 'cause you got butt-ass naked in your childhood pool, sharing your family issues and shit.
Niggas don't do that.
Honestly, I think he ghosted on you for saying you rap to yourself in the mirror.
That is psycho.
Or what about when you told Nathan all those weird facts about camels? Damn, I forgot about that.
LITTLE GIRL: I want this toy! Mommy, I want this toy! Mommy, I want this ISSA: You ain't got nothin' to say, huh? - [GIRL SCREAMING.]

That weak-ass fade! Barber where? Oh, so now you like L.
A.

She looks young for 50.
Boy, bring that dick here - I know you see me on IG - True - I know you see me on Snapchat - True But you still don't pay me no attention ISSA: Who changed the password on our stalker account? KELLI: My bad.
I got paranoid.
Here you go: "slapaho64.
" CITY GIRLS: DM, what you gon' do? ISSA: What happens when a fake bitch slides into your DMs? Not tryin' to push a rush on you ISSA: Shit! Not Mokessa! Delete! Delete! Delete! See, Jesus gave us freedom, but we have to use that freedom to serve a much higher purpose.
If all we do is gratify our own desires and wants, then we're no longer truly free.
Bad bitch over there, fine bitch right here.
This bitch mediocre, but I'd still hit the drawers.
- You know what I'm sayin'? - Come on, man.
I'm tryin' to hear what he's sayin'.
the yoke of bondage.
That is the message of this verse.
Bondage can come in so many ways, y'all.
Envyin's, emulations, lasciviousness, and and that's just on Instagram.
[LAUGHTER.]
Come on, now, forget about who is "likin'" you, and worry about who's loving you.
- And that is Jesus.
- ALL: Amen.
Slide out the DM, slide on into one of these pews up in here, hallelujah! ALL: Hallelujah! - Hallelujah! - ALL: Hallelujah! 'Cause Jesus is the plug.
Hey! [LAUGHTER.]
You know, I logged onto Twitter last night.
You wanna know the first thing it asked me? Hmm? "What's happenin'?" So I'm here to ask you the same thing about your soul.
Now, you know I need a few more of these amens.
ALL: Amen! Now you may have strayed away from God, or succumbed to temptation, but if you believe that Jesus is speakin' to you today, and you want to recommit your life to the Lord stand up, beg Jesus to take you back.
Hey, should we get out [CRYING.]
I've strayed, man.
I've strayed so far.
[SOBBING.]
[BAND PLAYING UPBEAT MUSIC.]
[BAND ENDS SONG.]
[CONGREGATION APPLAUDING.]
[PHONE CHIMING.]
Mmm.
Taurean, hey.
Wait till you see what I got to close this thing out with.
That's what I'm callin' about.
I just heard I got an expedited hearing tomorrow.
Judge Green demanded I be present in chambers for 10:30.
Oh, dang.
Will you still be back in time for our presentation? Not sure.
I need to postpone it.
Postpone it? [STAMMERS.]
I just found the perfect precedent for the case.
That's great, but I want to look at it first.
Sure.
No problem.
[SIGHS.]
All right, my niggas, see you next Sunday? Bludso's after service.
Amen.
Oh, this was great! Yeah, yeah, it was, man.
Music was good.
But that sermon was just Right? I mean, it just spoke to me, bruh.

My yoke just had hella bondage.
- All right, love you, man.
- Yeah.
Wade in the water God's gonna trouble the water You didn't want to get saved? Ha.
Uh, it was my first time, and I feel like you gotta work your way up to that.
I get it.
I had to warm up to the pop metaphors.
So you been comin' here for a while? Yeah.
It's a great service.
I've met some good folk.
I really get my spirit fed.
I've gotten a lot out of it.
Yeah.
That's what I'm hopin' for, too.
Plus, the after-service snacks are bomb.
You know I got a cruller in my pocket, right? [LAUGHS.]
Thanks for comin' early.
Hey.
- Mwah.
- Ordered you a rosé.
- You're buying, right? - [MOLLY LAUGHS.]
You got jokes.
How's the presentation coming along? It's supposed to be tomorrow, but my partner, he keeps micromanaging me.
- Ooh.
Just beat him up.
- What? Molly Squared told me she had a bully phase.
She did, huh? She talk too much.
I don't know.
She's a lot of fun.
Said a lot of things.
Nnnn.
What, you don't remember? No, I don't.
Well, good, 'cause I told you stuff, too.
- Oh, right, you did.
- Mm-hmm.
Like how you told me you auditioned for B2K? Oh, look who got her memory back.
[LAUGHS.]
- Mm-hmm.
- It's inconvenient.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
So, uh, how's the food here? Oh, it's real good.
Mm-hmm.
Makes me wanna go "bump, bump, bump.
" OK, listen, I woulda been in, I was in.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
But you know what else I remember? You telling me how you kissed your boy's girlfriend.
- OK.
- Grimy.
Oh, says the girl who hooked up with her married friend? Mm-hmm.
Grime recognize grime.
I'm not grimy, and you don't know the situation.
OK.
Tell me the situation.
Um he led me to believe it was something it wasn't.
A married man led you on? Wow.
[LAUGHS.]
- Come on.
- That's not funny.
Sorry, I I was just playin'.
I didn't know it was still a sore subject.
I don't give a fuck.
People out here lookin' out for themselves, so I'm lookin' out for me.
OK.
You know, you can, uh you can beat me up, if you want to.
- No, I just wanna leave.
- For real? Molly.
What? Molly.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hey.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
ISSA: What's that sound? My teeth fallin' out? - [PHONE BUZZING.]
- Is that Nathan? Please be Nathan.
[BUZZING.]
- Hello? - Hey, it's Roger.
- ISSA: Who Roger? - I own the building.
Yes, Roger.
Of course, Roger.
Hi Roger.
The plumber's been waiting outside for 20 minutes.
You were supposed to meet him at 8:30.
Yep.
Here I come.
ISSA: How did you oversleep, idiot girl? Hold up.
It's not your fault.
It's Nathan's fault.
Fuckin' up my livelihood, keepin' me up wonderin' where he is.
Stop fuckin' with my heart! Nigga, you was my dream, fool ISSA: "Thanks for the cut"? So you alive and cuttin' hair and shit, but you can't text nobody back? You can't take the time to text or call me?! Fuckin' grown-ass man on some childish-ass shit! Shoes.
Stop fuckin' with my heart! Hey, Molly, any word on when Taurean will be back? Oh, I haven't heard from him today.
- OK, well - But I'm excited for you guys to hear what we've put together.
- Yeah? - I found some new research on the proper accommodations for employees with substance abuse.
You're gonna be, like, "Whoa!" Sounds good.
Well, let us know when Taurean gets back.
He's always got clever ways to keep defendants on the ropes.
Keep me posted.
Or, um I can pinch-hit and do the presentation now.
- Oh.
- I mean, if you want.
I know the partners are extremely busy and on a tight schedule, but I'm sure you also want to get the ball rolling on this.
Sure.
I'll gather up the team.
- [ALARM CHIRPS.]
- Whatcha doin'? I just killed a fuckin' presentation.
- What's up? - I need a favor.
You know this is crazy, right? Girl, what is so crazy about buying fake desserts to bring to Andrew so I can see if Nathan's home? [LAUGHS.]
It's, like, lowkey, it's weird that you think it's weird.
You don't know what you saying.
ISSA: You don't know.
You out here looking crazy in pajamas.
You got me lookin' thirsty as fuck.
I told you, Andrew's canceled.
It was a bad date.
That happens.
- It's nobody's fault.
- It was his fault.
There is a thin line between being honest and being a dick, and he crossed it.
Well, I promise this won't take long.
No-it-sure-the-fuck-won't.
Look, I just want to know what's goin' on.
I wanna know why this nigga ghosted on me.
It's like, OK, sometimes my kisses are weird, but my tongue likes to do its own thing.
You ain't gotta Casper on me.
[SIGHS.]
You ready? Andrew, hey! Hey We were just, um, at Porto's Which is in Burbank, just like your house is, also, in Burbank.
Right, and I said we should bring you some desserts as a peace offering.
I hope we didn't wake you guys up.
At 6:00 p.
m.
? No.
And I'm the only one here.
ISSA: This Asian nigga lyin'.
Well, in that case I have to use the bathroom.
Could I use your bathroom? Uh sure.
Uh, there's a bathroom - just down here - Yeah, I see it.
Thank you! - Uh - MOLLY: So! Porto's? ISSA: What if he's not in there? Oh god, what if he is in there? Just go in! He'll be happy to see you.
Nuh-uh, bitch.
What if he's with someone else? He fuckin' better not be with someone else.
What if we just take a peek? Just a peeky-peek? Unless he is with someone else.
Then we gonna murder him in the dick.
[MICROWAVE BEEPING.]
Ohh.
You have got to get in on this.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm! It's so good! OK, what are you really doing here? 'Cause you didn't come all the way to Burbank for a cheese roll.
Um you're right.
Yeah, I came by to to talk.
OK.
You know, things got really weird last night.
You said some things, I said some things, and, um, I forgive you.
Yeah.
Me making a bad joke is pretty much the same thing as you leaving me alone in a bar.
Listen, you came at me like we knew each other.
You don't know me well enough to say some of the shit you did.
Look, at Coachella I meet one Molly, back here I meet another.
I don't know who the real Molly is, but are they all this fucked up? ISSA: Nathan messy.
But, like, is he recently messy? [SNIFFING.]
Yep.
That's you.
[SETS BOTTLE DOWN.]
Mm.
I wouldn't ever open any drawers, but So it did mean something to you.
[CLOSES DRAWER.]
Nah, girl, we are not about to go through his trash.
[SHORT LAUGH.]
Nah.
Nope.
Nope! Mnh-mnh.
But, like, what if I could guess his password? That'd be a sign.
H-O-U-S-T-O-N.
- [REJECTION BEEP.]
- Maybe that's a sign.
Unless I-S-S-A? MOLLY: Girl! What is you doin'? - Uh - Uh I knew I was done, baby, done, baby, done, baby Done, baby, baby Thought I loved you so, so So my heart said no-o-o And I woulda buss a 9 for you I woulda held your heart Iss, what's goin' on? For real.
ISSA: Don't say too much.
She might try to stop you from sneakin' back in.
I know your ass not thinkin' about sneakin' back in there.
No.
Then you need to let this go.
Issa, you up there hackin' a nigga's laptop? Fuck Nathan.
These niggas don't care about nobody.
They'll have you acting all outside of yourself if you let them.
I don't know, I just keep thinkin' it's my fault.
It's not your fault.
How is this your fault? 'Cause I let him in.
Maybe I shouldn't have been so honest.
Maybe it scared him.
If he gets scared off because you were too real, then why you want him, girl? Girl, what is it about him? Was the dick that bomb? ISSA: Yes.
It wasn't about that.
I mean he made me feel like more than a fuck-up.
You're not a fuck-up.
Stop.
I just don't know if anybody's ever gonna make me feel like that again.
[SIGHS.]
This place is cute.
I'm glad to see some color.
Yeah, I like the whole neo-soul vibe he got goin'.
He kinda look like Maxwell daddy.
Yeah, if you squint like this [BOTH LAUGH.]
Oh, so, tell me for real.
What'd you think of the service? I liked what the pastor said about having a higher purpose.
I must have missed that.
The metaphors took me out of it.
That's just how he connects with young people.
Oh.
I must not be young enough.
He a little corny, but at the heart there's always a real message.
You can rewatch it on his YouTube channel.
- OK.
- When I first started, I was just going through the motions, but once I got involved, I felt more connected.
And how long did that take? Obviously it's different for everybody.
I started with Bible study after my second week, then I joined the Life Runners, and I just started volunteering with the youth ministry a few weeks ago.
So wow, it's been like a year.
ISSA: Ugh.
Did I even sleep? I'm so fuckin' tired, my head hurts.
Was I crying? I hate everything.
You know what would make you better.
Knowing where Nathan is.
You could just drive by a couple more times.
If Molly hadn't stopped me, I probably could have gotten into his computer.
I could go back and try.
Andrew leaves around 8:00.
I think there was a window open.
He found somebody better.
He probably found somebody better than you.
Am I crazy? Stop being crazy.
You can stop.
Move on.
[SIGHS.]
I can't wait for it And I'ma need space for this I won't leave it Till I found my way Ah, this moment never been so important Can't find all the words that I wanted - - So I gotta sit - - [PHONE BUZZING.]
And wait for it all to come MOLLY: Hey, girl, just checkin' on you.
I know you had that deadline.
Let me know you're good.
LION BABE: Let it rain all alone No one's lover I'ma live in this - Yeah, yeah, yeah - [PHONE BUZZING.]
In control - - Like I've never Known it Just me, oh yeah In control - - Had to let it all go Oh, just me, oh yeah I can't wait for it, throw it all away MAN: Thanks to everybody for coming out today.
As a reminder to those of you who have completed your pitch decks already, at the end of this workshop, I will be judging them.
[STUDENTS LAUGH.]
- Who - Who you are MOLLY: Oh, hey.
when it's dark [SIGHS.]
- Hey.
- Hey! I wasn't tryin' to interrupt.
I didn't know you had a meeting.
No, it's all good.
Well, I just wanted to thank you for telling me about the workshop.
Yeah, was it helpful? Oh, yeah.
I mean, I was listening to someone tell me what to do with my deck while trying to finish my deck, but it was great.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
So, what time are you off? That was actually my last meeting.
You have time for coffee? Iced green tea for me, a long espresso for you.
- You remember.
- I still don't know what it is.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Oh! Guess who I drove in my Lyft the other day.
- Who? - I'll give you a hint.
He said I need a new "barbeurator.
" - Thug Yoda? For real? - [LAUGHS.]
Mm-hmm.
He caught me up on all the drama at The Dunes.
This white bitch tried to move in with her parakeet, Ms.
Trudy killed her.
- The white bitch? - [LAUGHS.]
No! The parakeet.
- Oh, Ms.
Trudy don't play.
She like it quiet.
- She does.
Lowkey, I miss that place.
Yeah, me, too.
So, um, how's Lyft? - The money good? - Oh, it's great.
Honestly, it's really fuckin' hard.
You know, after I moved out the apartment, I was stayin' on people's couches, and it was rough.
Yeah.
I get that.
But at a certain point, I was like you can't keep letting other people prop you up.
Sometimes you gotta do shit for yourself.
That's real.
You doin' the block party by yourself? I mean, basically.
I don't know if it's gonna work, 'cause 'Cause you still gettin' in your own head? - I'm trying to change that.
- Yeah.
I am.
Nah, I know what you mean.
I'm trying to make some changes, too.
I went to church the other day.
What?! You went to church? That's different.
Yeah, it was a lot.
Like, I don't know if all of that is for me.
This is just like you and Safeway sushi, when you swore that all sushi was trash.
I was 27, and nobody told me that I was eating beginner-nigga sushi.
[LAUGHS.]
My point is, there are other churches.
So just try another one.
A'ight, cool.
I'm gonna find me a church with some grown-up sushi.
Or just try one that's for you.
'Cause that's what I'm tryin' to do with this block party shit, just something for us, by us.
So, FUBU? No, I realized that soon as I said it.
Shut up.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
You gonna have L.
L.
as your spokesman? - Think he would do it? - No.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
How is it that you Keep on forgiving When I don't deserve it? When I was down You picked me up And now I'm flyin' high You told me I had Purpose on this earth When I ain't wanna stay here I waited patiently And you gave me Everything I ever needed My lifeline Oh my sunshine You're my everything You're the highest No one above you That's why I
