Lawrence, it's me.

I know you hate me right now.

I hate me, too.

But three days?

Can we just talk?

I'll do whatever it takes. Just come home.

I'm sorry.

I miss you.

Please call me back.

I love you.

Yeah, Craig. So, if you could get that started, that would be great.

After that, Lawrence, start getting the project team looking at the public API documentation.

Yeah, actually, that's what I'm gonna show you by the end of the day.

You know, I was thinking we could replicate some of the things...

Excuse me. Lawrence, there's a delivery for you.

Uh, excuse me, guys.

So, what Lawrence was saying, at the verification three-step process, I was thinking that we could access the multiple accounts with a single...

Hey!

What are you doing here?

I thought you might need some things while you're staying at Chad's.

Uh, I brought you some toothpaste, some shaving cream, some panties.

I'm just kidding. I didn't get you panties.

I was in a meeting, Issa.

I'm sorry.

I just needed to see you.

I... I made a mistake.

Yeah, you f*cking did.

I... I still want us to work.

Lawrence, just... just give me a chance to fix this and I will...

I'm in this.

I... I love you.

I gotta go.

And stop f*cking calling me.

I'm done.

Frieda: I called the company, like, four times and we still haven't gotten our deposit back on our chairs.

I'm starting to think we shouldn't have let people sit down.

Mm-hmm.

I just finished up my donor thank-you calls.

How about you?

Almost.

Well, don't forget to call yourself and say thank you.

I know I will.

[dial tone]

[touch tones beeping]

[line ringing]


[phone buzzing]

Can't wait for you to get off.

Hello?

Bitch, you still mad?

Hello? Can you... can you hear me?

Yes, I heard you. What do you want?

Oh, I was just calling to say hi and to thank you for your donation.

Um, and I'm supposed to let you know that your gift is tax deductible.

I know. I donated last year.

Is that all?

Um, you still going to Malibu this weekend?

Of course. I was always going.

I was on the fence, but, you know, it is Kelli's birthday trip.

You wanna go half on a birthday gift this year?

I already got her a gift.

Okay, well, I guess I'll just get her a gift card from Macaroni Grill.

You know she love to color on the placemats.

Just hella excited.

Do whatever you want, Issa. You always do.

Okay. I guess I'll just...

What was that?

Yep! Gotta go. All right, I gotta go. Bye.

Okay.

I don't.

Have fun!

Thank you.

Tiffany: Okay, ladies.

I'm gonna take the room upstairs because I want the view, so...

I want y'all on your worst behavior 'cause this weekend I'm bringing back "We did say!"

Oh, no. Not "we did say."

We are too old for that.

Oh, no.

You know the rules... no saying no.

I'm not spending another night in county.

Mm.

It wasn't that bad!

That's how Molly figured out she wanted to be a lawyer.

We did say.

Yo, I'm down.

Okay, as long as it's marriage-friendly, I'm down, too.

Okay, it's my birthday, Tiffany.

f*ck your marriage!

And, Issa, get off your phone!

Molly: Right?

Get off Shade Room.

Uh-uh. What's going on between y'all?

Nothing. I'm ready to have fun with my girls.

Yeah, me, too. I am down for whatever.

Okay, Molly.

I want you to touch that waiter's ass.

We did say.

Coming right up.

[Kelli gasps]

Oh, I'm sorry.

Molly, did you just touch his d*ck?

Oh, she said be on your worst behavior. I'm on mine.

Ah! I love it!

Turn my birthday into a lifestyle.

Okay, Issa, your turn.

Well, I didn't get you a gift, so I guess I'm down.

We did say.

Yo, you know what's crazy?

Issa and I just looked at rings, too.

But you a different type of dude than me.

In what way?

My heart pumps cold.

So, you and Molly really went in last night, huh?

Yeah, but my ass ended up facedown on my bed alone, drawers still on.

I mean, I bought that little boy hella drinks last night.

Men these days are hella trifling.

Just be thankful you have Lawrence.

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Something going on with you and Lawrence?

[sighs] You know how I've been super down on Lawrence for a minute, right?

Yeah.

Well, we...

The other day, some sh*t went down...

Girl, did he hit you?

What? No.

Okay, I like Lawrence, but I will go ape on that n*gga, okay?

Does he have a car?

Kelli.

I know he has a car. You know what?

I'm gonna f*ck that up first.

He did not hit me.

Okay? We're... we're just going through this, like, really rough patch...

You're pregnant. I knew it.

I bet Tiffany you would slip up.

And as much as I need that 100, I'm not trying...

I'm not pregnant, okay?

And you know what? I... I'm just... I'm tripping.

It's fine. Don't even trip.

Then why you get me all upset for no... for no reason?

I'm sorry for making this about me.

Yeah, make it about... it's my birthday.

Yeah.

It'll be about you if you get hit or have a baby.

Do you... do you listen to yourself?

All the time. I have a podcast.

Of course these heifers are late.

Ugh, who cares?

They're probably at the crib passed out.

I mean, no shade, but just once, can they not be basic?

Right? Issa always trying to judge somebody for how they live their life, but this bitch is too afraid to live her own.

"You're doing too much." Shut up!

I mean, you know how your ratchet friends are.

Mm.

Look who showed up. Where's Kelli?

She's resting.

She said she'll meet us at the hot tub later.

Next up is our 2013 Zin.

Oh.

Thank you.

I think I taste stone fruit.

Mm.

And a little bit of pepper.

Yes! I tasted it, too!

Look at us.

I taste wine.

Hey, this n*gga stupid, though.

But you know what? I'm telling the truth!

These new black b*tches, man, they be on some bullshit.

Because half of them didn't have no daddy in the house.

They don't know what a real relationship's supposed to look like.

Hey, I tell Candace all the time, "Hey, sometimes marriage sucks. Deal with it."

Mike: You know what it is?

These women today, they wanna be the woman and the man in the relationship.

That's why they ass ain't never satisfied.

They some "never happy" b*tches.

Issa was like that all the f*cking time, man.

It was either some sh*t about work or some sh*t about me.

It was like, f*ck! Just chill.

Brandon: Hey, they don't make black women like they used to.

My grandmama was a rider. She ain't leave 'cause she wasn't happy.

Exactly! My granddad used to cheat on my grandma all the time.

n*gga had a second family and everything.

She stuck with him till the end.

Damn, her p*ssy fat.

All: Yeah.

Mike: I know it don't seem like it right now, but, my n*gga, it's gonna be popping for you in the streets.

What you mean?

sh*t flipped back in n*gg*s' favor now.

All the girls that were in their 20s, used to be all picky and sh*t, they in their 30s and 40s now and thirsty as f*ck.

Man, come on.

Mike, show him the girl you were just f*cking with.

Mm.

Show him the bitch.

Damn!

Mm-hmm.

So, it's like that?

Damn!

Mike: Man, I tell a girl out the gate, "You ain't suck d*ck on the first date, I ain't f*cking with you."

Tiffany: Tomorrow, we can just chill.

So, I was thinking we could leave after, like, a late brunch.

I know this really cute... oh, my God!

Bitch, we did say!

Oh, my God. Why you looking at me like you Stacey Dash and I just told you you black?

[laughs]

God.

None of that.

Marriage has made you boring. Issa, it's your turn next. We did say.

Uh, no, we didn't. I'm good, thanks.

Whatever. I'll take her go.

And can y'all make it good this time?

Challenge a ho.

Okay.

I mean, we can't really top what you did with that guy last night.

[scoffs] Don't be mad 'cause I got game.

[snorts]

You know what? Give her something.

New Molly's got it.

Yes. Yes, she does.

So, we just... we just all gonna sit here and pretend new Molly ain't the same bitch that we've known for forever?

I wasn't gonna say anything, but, like, how is new Molly different?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I embrace who I am, okay?

I do what I want and I do not give a f*ck what anybody thinks.

Old boy from the club was cute, so I got with him.

But that's what you always do.

[laughs]

No, no, no.

Now she embraces it.

Oh!

So, new Molly sabotages her life on purpose.

Oh! Okay, okay, okay.

So, new Molly chooses for n*gg*s to walk up out of her life.

Got it. Cool, cool, cool.

Cool.

'Kay, 'kay, 'kay.

Kelli, why are you always coming for somebody?

Why you coming at me?

Because you make everything a joke.

Like, you're 30 and you f*cking act like you're 19.

Mm. [chuckles]

And, bitch, why do you always miss your big-ass mouth?

I don't know!

Kelli, you are a mess.

No, you are, okay?

'Cause you're always telling somebody what to do or reading everybody.

And meanwhile, your codependent ass can't even take a sh*t without asking your man first.

[laughs]

[mouths words]

Well, at least I'm not up here pretending I have a man when I don't.

Yeah, I know that you and Lawrence broke up.

Wait, what?

Why?

Because she cheated on him.

Lawrence found out about you and Daniel?

You f*cked Daniel?

I don't wanna talk about this.

That's who it was?

Derek did not tell me that.

sh*t, what happened?

I said I don't wanna talk about it, okay?

[phone buzzing]

Is that why Lawrence hit you?

Molly: Kelli, shut the f*ck up.

Kelli: I mean...

Oh, sh*t!

Damn.

Why the f*ck would you say something like that?

It's the facts.

[music playing]

[men shouting]

[phone ringing]

Hey.

Hey.

It's so good to hear your voice.

Uh, I'm really glad you called.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You?

No, but...

Um, do you need anything?

I'm good.

Okay.

And Chad's good?

Chad is fine.

Sleeping on his couch isn't, but, yeah.

Well, um, you know, I'm gone till Monday, so if you wanna stay at the apartment, you know, it's quiet.

All right.

Are you okay?

You already asked me that.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

I don't know, maybe... maybe we should talk when you get home.

Yeah.

Okay, let... let's do that.

All right.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

I wanna prank call Derek. Give me your phone.

I wanna be you.

Tiffany: You can never be me.

Kelli: I will try.

Whatever.


Guys, I need to go home.

What, now?

Yeah. Lawrence wants to talk and I need to see him.

It's 1:00 in the morning.

I'm too drunk to do anything.

You know what? It's fine.

I'll figure it out.

[sighs]

I'm not trying to get another DUI.

Tiffany: No, you do not need another one.

And another one and another one.

Both: And another one!

40 minutes?

f*cking Uber.

sh*t.

[sighs]

[knocking]

Come on.

We're almost there.

Yeah.

You know what you're gonna say when you see him?

I don't know.

Practice on me.

I'm so sorry...

f*ck you!

What the f*ck?!

Worst-case scenario, girl.

I'm just trying to keep you woke. All right, try it again.

I'm really sorry for hurting you.

And I can't imagine my life without you.

You're my best friend and... you're my body goals.

You were right about me.

[scoffs] I'm a f*cking mess.

I just... I don't wanna be who y'all think I am.

So, don't be.

How?

You asking me?

But I'ma be here while you figure it out.

So, can we be friends again, or...?

Bitch, I am on the PCH at 2:00 in the morning.

[mouths words]

[phone chiming]

Hello?

Tiffany: Y'all really just took my car?!

Give me the phone! Kelli!


Kelli: FYI, don't speed.

I got edibles under the seat.


This bitch.

Bye-bye.

Issa: I knew she was high the whole trip.

The whole f*cking trip!

Issa: You want an edible, though?

Molly: n*gga!

[chuckles] No?

I seen this bitch at the market.

She is a bad-ass, my n*gga.

I'm tapping on her should...

Yeah.

What's racking, big man?
