Post by bunniefuu »

[MERCEDES] Last week
onP-Valley, y'all...

Don't leave here tonight
without confirming your transfers, now.

You sho' you flipt me all my scrilla?

I need you to book me on a tour.

- What would be the draw?
- Keyshawn.

So, you wanna go on tour
in the middle of a f*ckin' pandemic?

'Memba Murda Night, tho?

[KEYSHAWN] Get off him!

Can you imagine if you woulda
k*lled Derrick that night?

Keyshawn, get the f*ck outta here

and go back to yo' redneck babydaddy.

Who woulda thunk Lil' Wayne

would someday
become the mayor of Chucalissa?

Me and Pastor Woodbine's
little cassinah referendum

that could is gone be
right under yo' name.

[WAYNE] That's something
that Mayor Ruffin wanted,

and I'm committed
to honoring his legacy.

The Governor of Mississippi
has just announced

that lockdown will end next week.

I'm auditioning for some new girls.

Nobody said nuthin' 'bout
getting some new girls.

More girls in the rotation'll
give your shoulder a chance to heal.

- It's fine.
- [ANDRE] What is this?

Promise Land still gone need
them that waterfront property.

Clifford Sayles ain't selling.

But the new owner might.

Why you even still in town?

I was named executor of Ruffin's estate.

I'll be here for a Mississippi minute.

Seems like you will, too,

since you ain't interested in selling.

Well...

I'm waiting on that big-d*ck offer.

You gonna give it?

[LAUGHS]

Corbin's offer is double
the trouble you put me in

when you saved The Pynk

for a quarter mil at that auction.

But we both know what Promised Land

is willing to offer
for their need and desire.

And what does your partner
think about that?

It's just a building.

It's not like it's somebody's home.

So, seems like that big-d*ck
offer come through...

you ready-roll.

First woman took me in told me,

"Don't ever hang your clothes
up in the closet.

Keep it all in the bag."

I stay ready to roll.

Hmm.

I'm surprised you came back.

I had to pay my respect.

[BREATHES DEEPLY, SHAKILY]

Wow, uh...

Sorry. Uh...

Thank you for making me go
to his funeral.
