Claws (2017) s04e01 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Claws" DESNA: I'm part owner of the casino now.
I love you.
I love you.
You're gonna have to choose.
The woman you pays bills with or the woman you kills with.
Then I guess this means goodbye.
You got a lot of sins, my son.
I'm no good at being good.
[SILENCED GUNSHOT.]
- You're under arrest.
- For what? For the murder of Clint Monroe.
[GUNSHOT.]
Hurry! - I love you, D.
- [WHIMPERS.]
- Let's get married.
- Yes! We're pregnant! [GASPS.]
- Ann, let me explain.
- Don't bother! I don't trust anything that you say.
You saw a chance to to own the casino, and the power went straight to your head! DESNA: So you destroyed it all? No.
You did.
Hope it was worth it.
DESNA: You betrayed me! Stings, doesn't it? I sure as shit ain't going down with you.
You would shoot a pregnant woman? [SCOFFS.]
I don't know why I'm surprised.
Never doubt this queen.
- Or this one.
- [GUNSHOT.]
[GRUNTS.]
Desna! [WATER SPLASHES.]
Say hi to Arlene for me.
Bitch.
Now we goin' tribal it's down to survival hey he-e-e-e-y - [BELL JINGLES.]
- hey, y'all.
- Ooh! - Hey.
Hello, braids.
Look, I spoke to uncle daddy.
And? We gettin' off like OJ! [CHEERING.]
Ooh, I thought I was getting me a prison wife.
For real.
Wait, so what happened? Well, you know Clay is always up to some slick shit? - Yes.
- So he bribed the lead investigator.
So we are golden on the roller break.
- Oh, my god.
- So now what? Well, everything is good with our game.
We got, you know, laundering Clay's money.
We got my pill clinic license.
Not to mention the cash that we make here doing nails.
Now all we gotta do is hustle up our IG presence, miss thing.
- [BELL JINGLES.]
- and then we are set.
- Hey! - Hey, Bambi! Hey, ladies! I was driving down Bradenton, and some naked deaf guy was throwing these uglies at cars.
- Aw, I think they're cute.
- Mnh! I'm gonna grill 'em on the engine of my Hyundai for dinner.
I got enough to share.
Oh, no, thank you, sugar.
I'm on somewhat of a depression fast since my man decided to leave me for his beige cardigan wife.
Got me on a man cleanse, too, y'all.
I went full-on Marie Kondo before I moved in with Polly.
All I got now are my Hello Kitty thongs and the complete set of "love and hip hop: Atlanta.
" Girl, that's all you need.
Oh, my gosh, I forgot to tell y'all, speaking of shellfish.
I walked in on Brienne last night playing with her clam.
- Ain't she like 5?! - I know! There is nothing wrong with her wanting to, you know, experiment with her body.
On the arm of the couch, though? - Mm! - Yes.
[LAUGHS.]
Where's Ann? - Psst.
- Ah.
Ix-nay on the Ann-yay.
Uh-oh.
Did y'all have a falling out? If you can call Kaepernick and the NFL a falling out.
[DRAWER SLAMS.]
Which one am I in the metaphor? - Uh, Kaepernick.
- Totally.
All the way.
Better be.
BAMBI: Damn! Ann was good people.
That bitch went full "burning bed" on our bag and our future.
She's dead to us.
I can wear what I want to it's my life you can stare if you want to w-welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to my very first live stream, "on the spectrum with Dean.
" I-it's a question-and-answer program, and since I don't have any viewers yet, I'll ask myself the first question.
Um, "as an ambitious person with many goals for the future, how do you manifest your dreams into reality?" Thank you, Dean from Palmetto, for that very interesting question.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
To achieve your dreams, you first have to be clear about what you want.
I want to be an independent man, stand on my own two feet, not rely on anyone, and feel secure in my life.
[BLOOP.]
[MAN COUGHS.]
[INDISTINCT TALKING.]
[MUFFLED SHOUTING.]
Boom babba do ba dabba, boom babba do ba dabba boom babba do ba dabba, boom babba do ba dabba boom babba do ba dabba, boom babba do ba dabba boom babba do ba dabba, boom babba do ba dabba boom babba do ba dabba, boom babba do ba dabba boom babba do ba dabba, boom babba do ba dabba aah! [CROWD CHEERING.]
God damn, it's good to be back! [CHEERING.]
There you are, mate.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, sweetie.
Alright, alright.
Uh-huh! Hope y'all made some money.
Usual.
Uncle daddy, what is this place? My home now.
Roller and Toby gone.
I-I got to get back to the gutter life after killing that priest.
That's just fine.
I thought we weren't gonna talk about that.
I ain't ashamed of it.
I'm proud of my work.
Besides, power in the truth.
Yeah, truth is, uncle daddy, you need a shower.
Sit your naggin' ass down, boy.
Hey, girl.
You gonna play with the big dogs, you gonna go back to that little family of yours? No, no, I'm I'm I'm with you, uncle daddy.
Good.
I ain't missin' out on this shit no more.
We back, and we bad.
Oh, yeah give me another.
I like this space.
I think it's charming and Authentic.
You're sweet, Jenn.
This is where god shits.
Okay, alright.
It's no use pretending, honey.
You can't have the nubbin here.
Alright? This is worse than an ice detention center.
I'm good.
Okay.
Does Desna know you're here? No.
Just 'cause y'all are on the outs doesn't mean we are.
And I brought some of Baylor and Brienne's old baby clothes.
- Look! - Look! Ohh! Can you believe? Look at this one.
- "Hi.
" - aw! They used to be such squishy little love bugs.
And now they're just, you know, snarky, ungrateful pains in the ass keeping me and Bryce prisoner with their endless needs.
But motherhood is great.
You're gonna love it.
For real.
Thank you.
Hey.
This means a lot.
Girl, well, there's more where that came from.
Why are you still so tiny at 4 1/2 months? You know, starvation.
[CHUCKLES.]
I'm kidding.
Bitch, you know I got snacks! Shit! Bryce made jerky.
Out of what? That's a good question.
Listen, just 'cause you and Desna aren't talking doesn't mean you can't patch it up.
Bobby Brown went back on tour with Bell Biv Devoe, didn't he? I don't want anything to do with Desna.
You know that.
She destroyed my life and my only chance at a real family.
We're your family.
It's not the same.
You know, anything I can do to help I got you.
No.
I can get a job.
I went to Yale.
Also to jail.
Well, you did.
[LAUGHS.]
- D-dessie? - Hey, baby.
Hey.
I-I stayed up all night creating a dignified website, uh, to market nail artisans.
Let me see.
- Aw, shit! - Yeah.
You even got a crossword puzzle on here?! Seven across That's "acetone.
" This is so sweet! Dean, this is really gonna help my business glow up.
Thank you, baby.
I needed this.
I mean, after losing roller and all the shit that went down with Ann, I could use a little tlc from my baby bro.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Yeah? - Look at me.
- Yeah.
Family is everything, okay? Yeah, I-I-I-I'm really glad you're open to my help.
Of course I am! O-our new adult sibling relationship contract is doing wonders for how we communicate with each other.
Oh, also, I've decided to become a social-media influencer, - just like Virginia.
- Okay.
It's the perfect job for me in this gig economy.
I'll be an independent man in no time.
This is bullshit! Oh, o-okay, D-Dessie? The new Plaza owners are tripling my rent! - This is bullshit! - Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I can't afford this.
Operator.
Operator! Operator! No, no, no! Please don't send me back to the main menu! Damn it! Oh, lord, what's going on? Girl, they are charging three times the rent.
- No! - Yes! She's about to reach through the phone and snatch a bitch.
I want billing! Y'all keep your trap shut.
I saw Ann.
[GASPS.]
what? She finally told you where she's living? Yeah, in a raggedy-ass trailer park.
- Oh, no.
- I'm afraid a gator's gonna get her, like that little boy in bayside Marina.
That's not the point.
Anyway, she ain't even got no job.
Well, she did Literally burn that bridge.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Shh! I'm on the phone! - You need to be serious.
- I'm sorry.
She's not doing good.
She's not eating.
Her Booty is half the size.
- Mm! No.
- I know.
DESNA: No! No español! Do I look like I speak Spanish? - No way.
No, you don't, really.
- Mnh-mnh.
You gonna tell Des you saw her? - Uh, you want me to poke an actual bear? - Right? Okay, you know what? Get your shit.
We going down there to talk to these corporate assholes face-to-face.
- But I'm not dressed corporate.
- Come on! Well, maybe Did you try texting? Virginia, shut up! They just leave me on the phone for 20 minutes.
I couldn't get a live person to say boo.
And you are not riding shotgun, either! Shotgun! God! [BELL DINGS.]
It's really simple, I just hustle like a lady Oh, hey, I forgot to tell you earlier that, uh, got a new landlord.
Jackin' up the rent.
Huh.
[CHUCKLES.]
Some come-gomerate bought the Plaza, huh? Well, that's alright.
I've been meaning to talk to you anyway about cutting rock bottom loose.
I mean, come on.
Rehab? "We healin' folk.
" [CHUCKLES.]
What was I thinking, right? Soon as I get rid of that place, the better.
Yeah, well, raising the rent on the pill clinic, too.
- We gonna get rid of that? - Oh, hell, no! This is harvest season.
It's my favorite part of the year, when them pillbillies start streaming down from West Virginia lookin' for their next fix.
Yeah, well, the pill clinic's all stocked up.
Oh, see that? You can handle this.
- I see that.
- You know, I'm I'm ready to step up now that roller is gone.
[CRYING.]
why you got to say his name, boy? Oh.
I mean, I'm doing all this hard work, repressing and compartmentalizing.
I didn't mean to set you back, uncle daddy.
I ain't thought about him in days, and now you breakin' my neck.
You know what? Hey, hey, hey.
[WHISTLES.]
Lookit, hey.
Chin up.
Look at me.
Look, hey, hey.
If you need to talk to me, I got an ear for you.
And when you get it get it, you got it.
Stop.
Stop.
Just stop.
And once you got it, you got to let me Stop it! Will ya?! None of this goddamn, you know, soft bullshit, alright? Gotta focus on business.
We need this caravan more than ever now.
We need that that oxy gonna be flyin' out that pill clinic.
You hear me? Fixin' to pay our rent tenfold.
What the hell? I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto.
Oh, my god, ain't that the old blockbuster video? VIRGINIA: It looks like a vegan spa now.
Okay, look, they are turning our old karaoke spot into a dog spa.
- No! - Oh, my god.
Miss me with this lululemon millennial yuppie nightmare.
God, white people have lost their minds.
Wait, how do you know they're white? 'Cause only white people come into the hood and ruin it but swear they're making it better.
Look at you, woke Jenn.
Sis, I been up for hours.
- Can I help you? - That part.
I need to talk to somebody in charge.
Ninth floor.
This is referring to This got delivered to my place of business, and I know it's bullshit.
Uh, what she means is, is there must be some mistake.
Yeah.
I mean, y'all just bought Palmetto Plaza, so you don't recognize that all the people over there can't pay this high-ass rent.
I hear you, but unfortunately, there's nobody available to speak to you.
Well, that's not gonna cut it.
So I suggest you get on that little Janet Jackson headset you got on and call somebody to come down here, or it's gonna be a problem.
Like I said, I'd like to help you, but there's nothing I can do.
JENNIFER: Honey, is this really the way you want to play that? Yeah, 'cause we got time today, girl.
I appreciate the situation that you're in, - but I need - [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
- Ohh! - Hey! Wait! - Wait! Hold it.
Excuse me! - You go, girl! - You go tell them who's the boss! - [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
[SIGHS.]
The hell? Shit! I just can't believe it's you.
How long ago was it we were tas together? Seems like forever.
- You look great.
- Thank you.
What have you been doing all this time? I didn't do that much time.
Only five years in the pen.
But I used that time to my advantage.
I know all the evidence against Chomsky's theory of language learning, and I am ready to jump right back into linguistics.
But to be clear, you did commit a felony? Yes.
There were extenuating circumstances which forced me to Stab my ex-husband's mistress with a broken beer bottle.
Well, that explains the lapse in your résumé.
Sure does.
[LAUGHS.]
Right.
[SIGHS.]
look, I knew this was a long shot.
But you know I am really good at this, and obviously I have the credentials.
And I'm not ashamed to say I'm pregnant now, and I really need this job.
I-I just want to start all over And be a good mom.
And I'm sure you will be.
This don't make no damn sense.
So some some faceless corporation can just Jack your rent up however much they want to, and and hardworking, honest people can't even pay they bills, let alone save some damn money! Preach, girl! Well, technically, we're not the most honest people.
I mean, we do launder money, rub elbows with known felons, and kill governors.
Some of us only do two of those three things.
Okay, the point is, if we want to live the American dream, we got to get our white-male privilege on and swing our big dicks around! - Amen! - Period! This what we gonna do.
We got the clinic license.
Clay Husser needs it.
We gonna pass this rent hike on to him.
And I'm gonna do exactly what he taught me how to do Extort his ass.
- Yes! - Boom! Swing that dick! Make 'em all lick! - Ohh! - Ha, ha! ALL: Swing that dick! Make 'em all lick! - Hey! - Swing that dick make 'em all lick swing that dick make 'em all lick What can I do for you, miss Desna? The hell is this place? Mm.
What the hell ain't it? It's a little bit of heaven.
Just having me a little amuse-bouche.
Listen, did, um, you hear about the rent increase at the Plaza? Yep.
Come here, little fishy, fishy, fishy, fishy, fishy.
- Clay.
- Oh.
I ain't sweatin' no rent increase.
I got me a bunch of pillbillies.
I'mma be fine.
Good.
I'm glad you're making bank.
'Cause I'm upping my license fee.
Baby girl, who you playing with? I ain't playing, Clay.
Can't extort me.
Clay Husser don't get extorted.
It's not extortion.
It's simple economics.
Oh, it's simple, alright.
Look, I appreciate the You trying to, you know, "boss up" and all.
I get it.
But I got no fear of you, miss Desna, and I ain't paying you a nickel more for that license.
Besides, I figure I got the The law on my side.
I mean, we signed a contract.
I got two more years with that license, unless you want to get the authorities involved.
We could do that.
You listen to me, you skinny-dick hillbilly.
You owe me.
You been cheating me since day one.
Your boy Toby shot at me.
I lost my man on account of you.
Don't you step to me with that bullshit! I lost two people I loved that day.
And roller's my damn son.
I loved him, too.
Oh, I see.
You think because we love the same boy that we family? Well, we ain't family.
What you and I got is a business relationship.
I sell the drugs.
You do my washin'.
It's nothing personal, darlin'.
It's just in this world, it's every man for hisself.
You goddamn right.
So you can find somewhere else to launder your money.
[GLASS THUDS.]
How about that? Hmm.
V-v-Virginia? I-I know the door is open.
I just want to respect your personal space.
Boy, my space is your space.
Get in here.
Uh, okay.
Just because we're not together anymore doesn't mean we can't be homies.
I'm I'm so glad you feel that way because I've embarked on a social-media venture, and and I could really use your help.
Hmm! Okay, what's up? You need me to throw you some followers? Well, throwing people sounds dangerous, but I have launched a scintillating new Instagram show "on the spectrum with Dean.
" And fans from across the globe are invited to ask me anything on a wide array of subjects, and I, in turn, promise to answer them using my savant-like prowess.
Cute! So you already have fans.
Well, actually, when I say "fans," I actually mean just one fan.
And even that guy departed rather abruptly.
Um, I-I-I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Hmm.
Let me see what you got.
Yeah.
Yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Play.
- Jumping rope, or rope skipping, originated in the Netherlands and made its way across the Atlantic in the 17th century.
Oh, oh, okay.
That's that's enough.
I know what your problem is.
You can't just sit there and talk about jump rope.
Spice it up.
Make it poppin'.
But it's already such a fascinating subject.
T-that doesn't matter.
If you want to attract fans, you gotta give them something hot to watch.
Hot to watch.
BOTH: Hot to watch! Okay, okay, okay! Okay, thanks, Virginia.
I-I actually think I can parlay that idea into action.
Thank you.
Uh, hey, Dean? Yes? This is nice, our friendship thing.
You make an accurate observation.
Okay, you want me to paint little piggies on each of your little piggies? What can I say? My foot daddy has a thing for pigs.
Now, one time he took a whole pack of Jimmy Dean little smokies, and he shoved them in between each of my toes and then he sucked them out.
- Ohh! - [LAUGHS.]
He went "wee, wee, wee" all the way home! - Polly! - Oh, my god! What? It beats driving for Uber.
- Okay.
Point taken.
- [BELL JINGLES.]
Mama's got an update.
Oh.
Hold on, baby.
Alright.
Uncle daddy agreed to pay more for the license? Hell no.
But do I look worried? 'cause I'm not.
- What'd you do? - Girl, I clapped back.
We ain't washing his money no more.
Wait, wait, what's the tea now? Des, we are 5k in the hole.
This is no time to be turning down income.
I got a plan.
If uncle daddy can sell oxy, so can we.
- [GASPS.]
- get ready to be a corner boy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
We're gonna be the ones selling drugs? Hell yeah.
Straight-up d-boys.
El Chapo.
Now, hold up.
I don't know if that's a good idea, alright? The pill game is uncle daddy's.
We don't want to go to war with him.
That's his territory.
You got a better idea on how to make this damn rent? I'm just saying, we got to be careful 'cause Bryce said he's gone back to being all the way dark side.
I don't give a shit about Clay.
I can handle his ass.
The real question is, do we want to keep our salon or not? VIRGINIA: Uh, hell, yeah, we do.
Yeah, 'cause sisters are doing it for themselves.
- Okay, and ain't you a sister? - Yeah.
- And ain't you doing it? - For yourself? Let's hook people on some drugs.
That's what I'm talking about! Gimme some.
One teeny, little pregunta.
How are we fixing to sell prescription drugs when we ain't got no doctor, no clinic, and literally no prescription drugs? You want me to order a whole shipment of oxy just for you? We not gonna use the shit, Ken.
We gonna sell it.
We're drug dealers now, Ken.
- Big-time.
- Huge.
You know, I'm suddenly feeling kind of warm.
- Is anyone hot? - No.
No.
It's not the temperature.
- I'm terrified of uncle daddy.
- Shh! You know what he'll do to you if you get caught stealing? He'll deep-fry you in bacon fat and eat you for lunch and crap you out and then eat you again.
Will you stop clutching your damn pearls? We already know you skimming.
No, I'm not.
- Who told you? - It don't matter, okay? We ain't judging.
We just saying if you get the pills for us, we'll give you a bigger percentage than that asshole ever would have.
No, there's not enough time.
I mean, even if I were to put the order in right now, it's not gonna get to you until after your rent is due.
Except for the fact that you got a fully stocked clinic full of pills right over there.
Yeah, double-stocked for the caravans.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, we can't Rob Suncoast.
That would be crazy.
Crazy's where we live, Ken.
Kenneth, if you do this, you'll be able to see a lot more of Polly.
That's right, and she always said she admired a man who could stick his neck out.
- Mm-hmm.
- Take risks, Ken.
DESNA: Will you be that man, Kenneth? I will.
I will be that man.
Good boy.
Okay, good news.
I will be removing one article of clothing every time I get a question.
"Ooh! You kinda sexy.
What kind of whip you drive? What's your credit score?" Oh, I-I-I drive I drive a Schiwnn six-speed.
As far as credit scores go, I'll take this opportunity to talk about a complaint I have with equifax.
You don't need to work at a fancy college, Ann.
Just find a job that's not so bougie.
You know, you're right.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Screw those snotty-ass highfalutin professors.
[CELLPHONES CHIME.]
Desna, I presume? It's alright.
I'm a big girl.
I'm not gonna ask you to pick sides.
Well, that's good to know.
And you're not the only one at war with Des.
She canceled uncle daddy's ass.
She's done laundering his money.
- And we about to Jack his pills.
- Mm-hmm.
Jack them? Why? Girl, errbody got bills to pay.
- You know what I'm saying? - Ooh, that's true.
Listen, I wanna stop by the shop to pick up my stuff.
Is there a time when Desna won't be there? Uh, yeah, um, why don't you come out tomorrow night around 6:00? She's, uh, going to that city council meeting to complain about the gentrification bullshit.
- A'ight.
- Great.
So, um, what else you been up to, besides making the place homey? You burn anything down lately? It's alright.
You can talk about it.
I have no regrets about burning down that casino.
Well, psychologically speaking, I'm glad you're owning it.
Legally, though, that could be a problem, girl.
Well, I didn't do it by myself.
Joe was there with me.
Say what?! That scummy bastard! Ooh, I know that look.
Mm-hmm.
That crazy, guilty, I-still-love-him-even-though- he-ain't-shit look.
Well, why didn't he pick me to burn down the casino with him? I was his partner in crime.
You sound arson-jealous, which is officially crazy.
Girl, you gotta stop messing with that man-ho.
Yeah, move on, Polly-pol.
Hey, how 'bout instead of you telling me what to do, you take care of the mess in your own backyard and make up with Desna? Ooh! Whatever.
I'm sorry.
Hey, listen, I don't want any more bad blood.
There's enough between you and Desna.
Look, we just We just came to say that we're still your friends no matter what, okay? Yeah.
Come here.
- Miss you.
- Miss you.
You too.
[LAUGHS.]
Now, go get a job, you lazy bitch.
Here you go.
I thought the job was for a bartender.
Yep, and that's the uniform.
If it don't fit, uh workin' for a livin' workin' workin' for a livin' livin' and workin' I'm takin' what they givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin' ugh, come on, man.
Oh, darling, I ain't discriminatin'.
I just can't hire a pregnant lady to milk venom outta my snakes on account of the massive liability.
Alright.
Thanks for your time.
I'm sorry.
- [BEEPING.]
- let's move.
We gotta do this before anyone sees.
You won't regret it, Kenneth.
Come on, y'all.
- Hey, Polly.
- Hey.
Good to see you.
Wh-what have you been up to? Oh, hey, Ken, hey.
I'm glad to see you're on board with this.
Uh, well, uh, I'm the sort of man that takes risks for the things and the people I care about.
- Shh! What? - I-I just I-I'm a Are you sure this is the best idea? I mean, if Clay finds out about this, he's literally gonna end my life.
He's gonna kill us all! Will you stop being so damn dramatic? Kenneth, we in it now.
Just be the lookout.
I'm sorry.
I have no spine.
What part don't you understand about that? - Kenneth! - [BEEPING.]
Oh, he's here! He's here! He's here! Clay Husser's gonna kill all you hos.
And you, too, Dr.
Ken.
Drug shit.
He said those exact words? - Yeah.
- [LAUGHS.]
Oh! [BELL JINGLES.]
Uncle daddy.
Ahh.
What can we do for you today, Clay? Oh, I just stopped by for one of them spectacular manicures y'all known for, miss Desna.
That's what I'm doing.
And you ladies lookin' good! You look like a hot, buttery biscuit on a Sunday morning.
I could just eat y'all up.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY.]
Is everything okay? Well, the truth be told, miss Desna, we had something special.
Now, I ain't gonna throw that all away over one little issue.
JENNIFER: Did you know you're bleeding, uncle daddy? Oh, yeah.
Got a little riled up, you know? It's hard to find people you can trust.
You know what I'm saying? People people surprise you.
Hmm.
Don't I know it? Hmm? You work loyally together with somebody for years, and you ask them for a raise, and they can't pay you what you worth.
Bygones, bygones.
[CHUCKLES.]
Now, I think we can, uh, reconsider our options.
I'm a I'm a reasonable man.
Since when? Well, I'm realizin' when you got something good, well, you wanna keep it.
Now, you wanted to up the ante on your license fee? I get it.
But we can talk about that number and get you back to cleaning my cash.
Ohh.
Oh, I think you missed your chance on that one, Clay.
Oh, I like it.
Playing hardball.
Oh, no.
Not playing hardball.
It's just too little too late.
Now, I thought you'd be more reasonable.
Hmm.
Well, it's not personal, darling.
It's just the way the world works.
Remember that? You know, I thought I'd, uh I'd be a nice gentleman.
[LAUGHS.]
But now I'm gonna get real.
You best reconsider washing my funds for me, that is if you have a-a fondness for breathing.
[CLATTERING.]
[BELL JINGLES.]
JENNIFER: Well, shit, he ain't kidding.
If he's this heated about us washing his money, what's gonna happen when he finds out we stole his pills? Desna, we're not the only ones quaking in our sensible flats, are we? We are gonna be fine.
There is nothing to worry about, okay? Clay just thinks he's big and bad again.
Man ain't nothing but a limp dick.
Yeah, yeah [CHIMING.]
Unfortunately, I can't remove my final piece of clothing because, well, that would get me banned from Instagram.
But I will answer one more question, and in return, I'll give a chair-y pop.
Okay.
Um, staceyabrams2024 asks, "Why do you love kombucha so much? Do you spike it with Henny or something?" First off, I do not dilute kombucha with alcohol.
That would be like Like putting a bumper sticker on a Bentley.
As for why it's so special, I'd say it's a combination of the ingredients Probiotics, n-natural sugars, the fresh attack of Ginger or lemon juice.

Non, rien de rien ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal non, rien de rien non, je ne regrette rien ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal non car ma vie car mes joies aujourd'hui [CLATTERING.]

Pol? Boy, this refrigerator's so c-cold! [SOBBING.]
Hey.
Come have a seat.
Let's talk.
What's going on? I miss Joe.
Polly.
We told you to forget that fool.
Why doesn't he love me? I'm fine.
- You are.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm bipolar.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm a kleptomaniac with a trick pelvis.
Right.
And you are too good for him, Polly-pol.
- I am? - Okay? You are.
Way too good.
You just need to figure out a way to cleanse that playa from your system, okay? Okay.
What exactly are we doing, Polly? I'm getting closure.
Cleansing Joe from my system.
Okay.
Good for you, girl.
I'm done with love.
And if there's anything I learned from Joe, it's that arson is the answer.
W-wait, wait.
We about to torch something? Mm-hmm.
This is that sick lothario's love-mobile.
Now help me out.
Is this because he didn't ask you to burn the casino with him? No, it's because he is a lying, vile, wife-loving asshole, and I want him to pay.
I don't need part-time affection so I've found a new direction I don't need your kind of lovin' anymore here's to closure.
So I'm leavin' right away I wanna even start to say but, baby I don't need you anymore goodbye, baby, I don't need you anymore [INDISTINCT TALKING, LAUGHTER.]
JENNIFER: I did.
Pol! - Whoa.
- Hey.
What's up there? Don't tell me you lettin' uncle daddy get in your head.
That man is cray-cray, y'all.
D-do we really want to be around when he finds out what we did? Listen, ain't nothing ever come easy for us.
And this ain't gonna be no different.
- Yeah.
- Right.
You got to stick with it.
Don't make the same mistake that I did.
I was in a girl group in the '90s.
- They called me "old spice.
" - okay.
And I quit because I didn't think we'd make it.
You cannot give up now, baby girl.
Okay, she crazy.
- I'm not! - But she right.
We got your back.
Like, we are all family.
And it ain't nobody who can stop us.
- [BELL JINGLES.]
- That's right.
JENNIFER: This pep talk has been brought to you by the greater Mannington - You set me up? - No, ma'am, ma'am.
I did not.
I had no idea that - She a lie.
- Virginia! JENNIFER: I'm sure she meant well.
Okay, look, y'all, you're just trippin', okay? You need to sit down, have a conversation, - and call it a ding-dang day.
- That's right.
Unless she came here to beg for forgiveness, I don't have shit to say.
You want me to beg forgiveness? You got things so twisted, you must be insane.
- I'm insane?! - Yeah.
Bitch, you burned down an entire casino, but I'm insane?! It was a goddamn building.
Who gives a shit? We could have been inside it when you burned it down! And one of us could have died! But nobody did! This is not about a fire.
It's about you and me and how you've taking advantage of me for years! - Then you should've talked to me! - I did! But you're a controlling, narcissistic - Sociopath! - Oh, my god! - Take it down to 9.
- Let's just call it a mulligan.
You needed control! Your life was a mess before I ever met you.
And I'm the only one that helped you when you got out.
And this is how you thank me?! Now look at you.
You ain't nothing but an old, crusty lesbian - Oh! Hey! - Trying to be somebody mama inside of a goddamn trailer! I wouldn't even be in this position if you weren't some wigger-lovin', dusty old hag with your tired-ass weave.
- Hey! - Okay.
This is my hair, bitch! - Stop it! - Okay! - You wish! - Stop it! JENNIFER: Stop! - You know what? - What? I'm done with you.
I want you to get your triflin', backstabbin' ass out of my salon! Filthy, betraying bitch.
Get the hell out! Now! Sure.
With pleasure.
Bye, girls.
Bitch.
And take your shit! [BAT CLATTERS.]
Don't cry now.
You are all traitors.
Des, hold on.
I'm not holding on to shit! Y'all been sleepin' with the enemy? You been talking to this bitch behind my back? - Des, we never said we don't love you.
- Yo know we do.
Either you're on her team or you on mine.
- Her team - Choose! We've how much have we done to We're selling drugs with you right now.
Ain't that enough? Ain't nobody forcin' none of y'all to do shit.
Exactly.
'Cause we're all adults here.
And you can't force us to do anything.
[SCOFFS.]
Bitch.
[CLATTERING.]
[CRYING.]
no, no, no, no, no! - [DOOR SLAMS.]
- Baby, shh, shh.
Shh, shh shh, shh! It's okay.
Oh-oh ALL: What about your friends? Will they stand their ground? Will they let you down? Yeah Oh, what about your friends? What about your friends? - Are they gonna be lowdown? - lowdown will they ever be around? Be around or will they turn their backs on you? Will they stand their ground? Slow whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down, pal.
Shit, I told you I don't speak no oriental.
You need to speak to me in the king's language 'merican.
Damn Korean son of a bitch.
I'm trying to talk business here.
I can't under understand a word the son of a bitch saying.
- He on? - Yeah.
Give it to me.
[SPEAKING KOREAN.]
What? [LAUGHS.]
Okay.
What's so damn funny, Kim-young Ann? So you mean to tell me you want this poor guy who doesn't even speak a word of English to launder your money through his tiny, little grocery store? I got duolingo.
Besides, these are desperate times, alright? Ever since Desna walked out on me, I got no one to wash my ducats.
I'll wash your money for you.
[LAUGHS.]
Are you trying to punk me? No.
I need a job.
Why should I give you a job? What do I look like, an unemployment agency? Because besides the fact that I can wash your shit for you, I know who stole your pills.
What? My pills ain't gone.
Yeah, they are.
And I'll talk once you give me equity in the pill game.
40% to wash your money.
You dreamin'.
You don't know what I know.
[CLICKS TONGUE.]
Come on.
Trust me.
You know you can.
[LAUGHS.]
Now spill it.
Desna stole your pills.
O, fortuna I'm gonna kill that bitch.
Oh, hell, no.
Velut Luna Run up on me, asshole! I dare you! Statu variabilis [GROWLS.]
