[bunniefuu]

Self-care Sunday! Self-care Sunday!

Ever since I got my place in order, it's like my life followed too.

It's a whole new world, I'm Jasmine.

Well come through, Princess Flex.

♪ I know you like it When I do that ♪ This picture's gonna be great. We just need to lock in these sponsors, and then you'll have everything you need for the block party.

Did these come from a client?

Yeah, from the new boo account.

I actually met him at Tiff's baby shower.

His name is Lawrence.

Andrew said that he was dating other people.

Should I trip, or nah?

Well he's here with you, so what's the problem?

My name is Issa Dee, and I'm organizing the block party. I love my neighborhood.

But it devastates me to see our communities changing without our input. And so I want to change that.

It's weird that you're still working with Condola when she's dating Lawrence.

You know your life don't have to be this messy, right?

♪ Skip, skip, skip class, f*ck school, yeah ♪

♪ Hop scotch, hop scotch, hop scotch, yeah ♪ Andrew: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

So the baby's not even his?

Nope, my brother's trying to sign himself up to raise another man's child.

I mean, what if the baby don't have no bones?

Uh, well, at least they won't break any.

Shut up.

Oh, what now? God.

It's okay, you can take it.

Thanks. Sorry, it's work.

Yeah. No, that's supposed to be Tuesday.

What? No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait.

Wow, really?

Okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Everything okay?

Uh, it will be.

Uh-oh.

What happened?

I just lost a big... it's fine.

You sure? You wanna talk about it?

I'd rather talk about that cake I'm gonna have later.

Oh, but wait.

I'm not sharing.

Are you sure?

Oh, take the cake, take the cake!

Take all of it!

♪ Before I make his mouth work ♪

♪ I'ma make his pockets hurt, hurt ♪

♪ Talking to the p*ssy, I ain't even hear a word ♪

♪ Sex game cold, he gon' buy another fur ♪

♪ Got me sitting on his face, I'ma need another turn ♪ So I was thinking the stage could be right over there and the food right over there.

And my interns, thanks to you, can check in vendors over there.

This is great. This space is so great.

Right? It's way better than my dingy-ass courtyard.

You know somebody d*ed there three years ago?

So disgusting.

Oh, and I was thinking maybe the dance floor can happen, like, over there.

That's great. I also will be steering very clear of that area.

I really can't dance.

Oh, my God, me either.

I mostly do this thing with my shoulder that looks like a seizure but don't call nobody.

So, I think this is the spot.

I don't know why I'm clapping. This is incredible.

Thanks to you. This weekend, I'm taking you out for drinks.

Oh, that's sweet, I wish I could but I'm going out of town.

Oh, nice. For work or for fun?

Fun. Ojai Valley.

Oh, that's romantic. Oh, that's romantic.

Yep, got it.

I'm so sorry. I don't want it to be awkward whenever Lawrence's name comes up.

Me neither. It's really new.

Yeah, and we work so well together.

I know. And I just want us to be cool

'cause I only have room for good energy.

I agree. No bad energy.

No weirdness. None.

I'm not about to let someone who puts mayonnaise on his french fries make things weird.

Oh, my God, he does do that.

I'm like, what, this ain't Amsterdam!

Yeah, exactly.

Oh, my God, I'm so glad I got that out.

But mustard though.

b*mb. The best.

Like, a brown mustard. A brown mustard.

A spicy mustard. A spicy...

Like a Dijon is super classy.

♪ And I'm killin' it ♪

♪ I feel alive... ♪ Okay, so, I'm thinking two per bag and don't forget a toothbrush.

So they can fashion it into a shiv and s*ab you with it?

Now with broccoli extract.

Girl. No.

Okay, this is gonna be tough.

I'ma need one of y'all to wipe me.

Happy Halloween.

Oh, Issa, my client said they can sell you the wine wholesale.

So start thinking of a thank you gift.

Oh, my God. Thank you, Tiffany.

I got a warm case of water in my trunk.

You'll have to do better.

Okay, well, this is amazing, guys.

I don't have a headliner yet but I have a date.

Hey! Issa: I have half my vendors and my swag bags are swaggy.

I'm killin' it. Hey!

Okay, Issa. I'll get more of this.

Let me see one of them toothbrushes.

That's what the kids gonna do.

Girl, you've got hella work done with this block party.

Sorry, work's been keeping me all out the loop.

Oh, girl, I get it. You busy.

I miss you. I know.

But we'll catch up over dinner this weekend.

Oh, for sure. And what's the latest on Asian bae by the way? Y'all still good?

Asian bae with the samurai d*ck.

Uh, samurai are Japanese, r*cist.

Mm, prove it.

Whatever, I already heard this story.

Y'all talk.

Okay, I didn't think this through and, you know, the hair is f*ckin' with my balance.

Wait, wait, what's happening? What story?

Y'all f*cked already? What that d*ck do?

Or do it don't do? Oh, no, it do.

It definitely do. But it's been almost a month and I'm just not feeling close to him.

It's weird. It's all good sex and witty banter, but...

Hold up, hold up, hold up. He dicks you down, makes you laugh, and he don't work at the airport?

What's the problem? Because I don't hear it.

He's just not opening up.

And meanwhile, I'm telling him everything.

I even told him how I had to wear a helmet to bed till I was 11.

Are you sure you're not lookin' for somethin'?

Don't pick up nothin' that don't serve you, girl.

I'm not. I promise you, I'm not.

So it's just you talking the whole time?

Basically. And then we f*ck.

And I'm not mad at that part but I just don't want it to turn into f*ckin' is all we do.

I've been there before and I want more.

Yeah. Kelli: I'm with Issa.

Who wants to sit around and listen to a grown man talking about his feelings. You know what I want?

I want me a mime with a big d*ck.

I'll be happy as hell.

I gotta find a circus.

But if she has real feelings, then she needs to let those skeletons out the closet now.

Tiff might be right.

Andrew and I need to have some real-ass conversations.

Tiff: Mm-hmm. I think I'ma have to slow it down.

Mm. You gonna put that p*ssy on pause?

Yes, I am.

Okay, girl. Mute that monkey.

The kids are here. Derek!

Derek, put on your cape!

Kelli: Don't help her, she gotta learn.

Uh-uh, she gotta learn. She gonna have to learn.

That's the first step of motherhood.

She's pregnant with a baby, I'm pregnant with ideas, but y'all ain't help me up.

Your ideas are trash, Kelli.

It's uncomfortable but it's, like, good uncomfortable.

Calvin: Oh, yeah? Oh.

Ooh, this is different.

Uh-huh. Oh.

Yeah, ain't I? Oh, I'm about to come.

Calvin: Oh, sh*t.

Wow.

Uh-oh. What?

The condom was on. Now it ain't.

♪ Girl, why am I always on my knees ♪ Huh, middle of the day call.

Can't stop thinking about me, huh?

Are you done? I just had a minute and wanted to see what you were doing on Friday.

Ooh, Summer Walker's gonna be at The Novo.

We should go. No, I was hoping we could do something a little bit more low-key.

We can't really talk there.

We could. We could be those people.

I hate those people.

Why don't you come over and we can just have a night in?

Okay, I'll bring the wine.

Cool, now get back to work and stop sweatin' me, damn.

Oh, hey, Taurean, Malcolm wanted us to get familiar with the NewCo discovery. You staying late?

Uh, it's gonna have to wait. I'm going out of town.

Oh, where to? Cabo.

Oh, my God, I was just there last year.

You should go to this place that had k*ller...

My hotel's all inclusive, thanks.

Oh, all-in-one. That's what's up.

Mm-hmm. I mean, it's like family friendly and what not.

Drinks, food. Yeah, I get it.

Lawrence: Have you been watching Looking for Latoya?

These white cops aren't even looking for her.

I know, right?

You think she's still alive? Mm-mm.

I think that the boyfriend did it.

How you gonna be kinda together for five years?

Yeah, never trust a dude with two dead teeth.

Hey, excuse me, can I get some mayo?

What?

You still laughing about Looking for Latoya?

No, I just...

Issa and I were literally just laughing about this the other day.

Your whole mayo with fries thing.

Oh. Wait, what?

Y'all were talkin' about me?

So, so, so, so, so what else did y'all say?

Nothing. I mean, we talked about you but it wasn't anything bad.

Like, I didn't know that you ran track in college.

Yeah, for like, a year.

So how did that come up?

Is this uncomfortable?

I made this uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable. What, no.

I'm good, I'm just k*lling this branzino, bro.

It's just, mmm.

Well, I promise that we weren't really talking about you like that.

It's just that things have been weird between Issa and me and joking about it somehow made it better.

Oh, for sure, for sure, for sure.

Are you okay?

Hell the f*ck no I'm not okay.

I don't like this. Condola talking to old girl about you.

They gonna start a podcast about your d*ck.

The f*ck outta here, man. Shut it down.

You didn't get the cauliflower crust?

Mm-mm. Come on, man.

I don't know, I would just let it slide.

If you make a big deal out of it, it'll just get worse.

They'll end up bonding over you being all sensitive.

That's a smart n*gga. I used to be that fast.

Then I got swole.

You startin' to look like a box.

Thanks, bro.

All right, Derek, so would you be cool with this sh*t?

f*ck no. Exactly.

But this sh*t wouldn't happen to me because I keep my sh*t tight.

Every time I break up with a girl, I move.

I miss Dallas.

'Rence, 'Rence, 'Rence. I tried to tell you.

Tell me what, n*gga?

About peeing in the pool you swim in.

If you gonna pick up a chick at a baby shower, make sure she's a caterer.

Grab your ass a canape, the digits, and dip.

All right, well, what if I just texted Issa and ask her to chill?

Eh, might come across kind of harsh in a text.

All right, how about a bitmoji of me saying keep my name out your mouth?

Nah, you don't wanna start texting.

Old girl take your sh*t out of context and send you some titties.

All of a sudden, you got a paper trail.

It'll blow up your whole sh*t with Condola.

Condola come to me because she all sad.

I gotta put it on her. Now Leah mad.

Man, shut the f*ck up.

All right, so I can't seem sensitive to Condola, and I can't seem petty to Issa.

f*ck am I supposed to do?

Whatever you do, I think you gotta be up front about it.

Look at all this gluten. It's oil.

It's gluten. Just eat it.

I'm not paying for it.

You really do look like a box.

That's why I'm carb loading. I carb load during the daytime, and then I go for a run at night.

Then I can carb load again in the daytime.

Condola: I listened to that playlist you sent and ScHoolboy Q is gonna be an amazing headliner.

Now I can't wait for the concert tomorrow.

Me neither.

And I'm gonna try to get there early tomorrow so I can talk to his people.

And I'ma wear my business Chucks.

Your business Chucks.

I have to. They always make an impression.

Condola: I'm sure they do.

If ScHoolboy Q says yes, he gonna be my ScHoolboy Boo.

Hey!

What's happening? That was great.

Is this some kind of work date? Oh, we're just finished.

Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna run now.

I need to get something to eat. I'm starving.

Oh, yeah. Is this your purse?

Oh, thank you. Yeah.

Girl, why don't you just stay here and eat with us?

Have you had the salmon droptop? It makes me want to drop my top.

But I won't.

I don't wanna impose on your plans.

Impose on what?

We just gonna be talking the same old sh*t.

Just add your sh*t to our sh*t.

You sure?

Oh, yeah.

Cool, fun.

Yay, fun. Okay.

Thank you, um, I'm just gonna run to the restroom.

I'll be right back. Cool.

Perfect. Hey, I thought it was just gonna be the two of us.

Oh, well, she said she was hungry and I didn't wanna be rude.

Yeah, but I really wanted to talk to you and I don't know Condola like that.

Well, this is the perfect opportunity to get to know her.

Look at God.

You want me to tell her to leave?

No, no, of course not. It's, it's cool.

Then how about we talk at our next Self Care Sunday?

Ooh, we could get ice cream after our hike.

That totally undoes the hike.

But yes.

Have you seen the dessert menu? Yay, beignets.

Are you a mind-reader?

I was literally talking about dessert.

Yes, beignets. I'm excited.

Ooh, Nutella. That's Italian.

Choco-waffle, though.

Can I... Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure.

Oh, I know what I'm getting.

Oh, thank you.

But... maybe I don't have to come up in you guys' conversation.

Oh.

Right, we, we... I mean, we talked about you, but we didn't like, talk about you, I promise.

We just kind of needed to call it out to let it go.

Yeah, cool, cool.

'Cause, you know, I just want her to get to know me through me and I like her and, you know, I want it to work out.

Um, I feel like you're... you don't wanna talk to me about your work stuff or your family.

I-I just feel like you don't really wanna let me in.

Based on this one conversation?

I just feel like it's just all jokes and sh*t talking with us.

Okay, is this because we haven't... put a label on this or anything?

No, it's because I want to date a guy who doesn't avoid being real.

Taurean, where are we on the FoodTime case?

Our biggest hurdle is classifying whether drivers for FoodTime are actual employees or whether or not they're independent contractors.

Cynthia: What about looking at the contractual relationship with its drivers?

Meaning did they have the right to control the manner in which the meals are delivered.

Well, gig economy is tricky.

At first, I thought because our plaintiff's only job was delivering for FoodTime, and because he was paid hourly rather than per delivery that it could present a problem.

But then, I realized that the Sampson decision provides precedent in our favor.

Molly, did you have something to add?

No, no, no, no, no. I, I agree with Taurean.

No, I just thought I saw a window washer.

That is a dangerous job.

Okay, great, moving on to the Marshall case.

What's the latest?

You busy? Oh, no, of course not.

Come in.

Oh. We closing doors now.

So I mentioned the Sampson decision in the meeting and I saw that they were an MJ&S client.

Are you familiar with them?

Yeah, they were there when I was there.

So why didn't you say anything?

There was nothing to say.

You know, I've pulled employee data instead of going through the court docket which could save you some time, but you know, there's no wrong way.

It's up to you.

So you were just gonna let me waste my time?

No, I didn't want to be negative.

Molly, agreeing with me, complimenting me, trying to be my travel agent.

I don't need you to do all those things.

If you've got something to say, just say it.

Okay.

Look, I'm not proud of the way I handled the Metra case with you.

I wasn't being a team player and I apologize.

I'd like for us to get along, but...

I know it'll probably take some time.

That night, I was thinking I don't want to bore you with it but honestly...

it's just hard for me to let someone in like that.

But you called me on it, and it just might take some time.

I got time.

Cool.

Issa: Get away! Um...

Stop!

Yeah, I gotta get back to Issa.

She's in a fight with a gnat right now.
