01x05 - One Day at a Time

[bunniefuu]

He proposed.

What?

Previously on "sistas"...

He needs to give me back my key,

and he needs to get
the hell out of my life.

You will not get it.
I'm sure you got a story

about some dude that stiffed
you on the bill.

I'll call my wife.
She'll bring my credit card.

Your wife?

You are such
a judgmental, little wh*re,

judging that man and not
wanting to go out with him

because you thought he was g*y.

He's straight, and he likes you.

- Hi.
- Wow. You look beautiful.

What the hell are you
doing here?

I left her. I'm moving in.

You gonna say something?

You did what?

I left her.

- Gary, I thought...
- Baby, come on.

Tell me that you're happy.

How can I say that?

I walked out on her
and my family.

Don't you blame that on me.

I'm not blaming it on you.

I'm not blaming anything on you.

I just... I love you so much,

and I just said... it,
and I left.

You don't love me, Gary.

- What are you talking about?
- I don't want you here.

Do you know what I went
through to be here?

And I'm scared as hell,
and you say something

like this to me?

Don't do this.

I didn't ask you to leave her.

- That was your choice.
- I know.

I know. I made it.

You should go back.

Don't you dare play
this sick-a*s game with me.

I'm not playing a game
with you, Gary.

- This is my life.
- And this is my life, Gary!

What the hell is this?
What's going on?

Just... go.

Is there somebody else?

Oh, don't even try that. Heh.

It must be somebody else
because of this behavior.

I am not doing this
with you right now, ok?

You really want me to leave?

Yes.

Don't push me back
into her arms.

Because you did that
once already.

Oh, I did that?

Yes... you did.

I came here with my heart
in my hands,

and you just stomped on it.

Don't you lay that at my door.

I will because you did it.

- You are married!
- I'm divorcing her.

Andi, why else would I have
gotten down on my knees

and begged you with a ring?

That you walked out of here
and put

on her... finger.

How did you know that?

Woman: ♪ don't my girls
hold me down ♪

♪ Let them boys mess around ♪

♪ My love life is a headache ♪

♪ We're going out tonight ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm into the love ♪

How did you know that, Andi?

You need to leave.

How did you know that?

I am not gonna ask you
to leave again.

I gave up everything for you.

And everything I have
is on the line for you.

What the hell does that mean?

You're single.
You don't have kids screaming,

"don't leave."

But I have a job that
I worked my a*s off to get,

and I could lose it all.

What are you talking about?

She came to visit me.

Who?

Gary, you can't say anything,
or I'll be done.

- I'll be disbarred.
- Who came to see you?

Who came to see you?

My wife?

Yes, but, Gary,
you can't tell her

that I'm telling you this.

- I need...
- Wait. What are you

saying to me?

- Promise me.
- She came to you

about a divorce?

Promise me.

You know I won't say anything.

- She did?
- Yes.

What happened?

Gary, I need you to promise me...

Just tell me.

She said that she felt that
you were gonna divorce her,

and she wanted to
beat you to it.

She say why she wanted to leave?

Because you're having an affair.

Does she know it's you?

I don't think so.

She hired a private detective,

who is following you.

He's probably followed you
here many times.

I knew it.
I knew I was being watched.

She also said that
you were too smart

to get caught

and that you were slick
and cunning...

- Right.
- And a*usive.

a*usive?

Yes.

What the hell does that mean?

- Tell me.
- Tell you what?

You know me. You know damn well
I wouldn't be a*usive.

Well, do you want to
tell what she meant?

You tell me!

I was gonna recuse myself,
but my boss

politely suggested that
that would be

a career-changing mistake.

I'm so sorry you're in all this.

I'm a big girl.

I knew you were married.

If she comes to see you,
you can't take the case.

Yeah. I know that.

I'll have one of my friends
rep me in the divorce.

Baby, you can't tell a soul.

I won't.
Baby, is...

Is this why you're
acting like this?

Please don't give up on me now.

I'm here.

I'm here.

This is crazy.

I'm not doing this with you.

Karen, come on. Let's go.

Look. No.

Are you on a date?

Listen. You don't have
the right to

ask me any questions, ok,
not anymore.

Karen, can we...

No. Y'all need to figure
this out, ok?

No. There's nothing
to figure out.

It don't look that way to me.

Can... can we just...

I said no.

He tell you what I did?

Honey, whatever you did
is your business, ok?

Excuse me.

I slept with his friend.

What?

He's so angry with me...

Ok. Look. I don't care.
I don't. No.

He's really good
at punishing you

when you do something wrong.

Why the...
Did you say that?

- Ok.
- Karen.

- I'm out.
- No, no, no, no.

- No, no.
- Kar... Karen, just.

No. Bye.
Can you just...

Don't touch me.

That may have been the best
dinner that I've ever had.

- Really?
- Really.

It wasn't too overcooked?

No. It was perfect.

- Oh, ok.
- No, no, no, no, no.

- No.
- I got this.

- I got it.
- No. You cooked.

- Sabrina...
- Calvin.

Do you want me to leave?

- No.
- All right.

Let me wash these dishes then.

Go ahead.

You know what?
Hmm?

On second thought,
you can rinse.

Ha ha! Of course.

- Tell me the truth.
- Ok.

Why are you single?

I'm single because I always
get prejudged.

Prejudged?

Yeah. Kind of like
how you did.

- I'm sorry I did that.
- Look. I get it, you know?

You know, I had a girlfriend
in high school?

Yeah. I really liked her,
but, uh, her parents

wouldn't let her go
to prom with me

because I had two dads.

- What?
- Yeah.

Times were different then,
but... so.

No, no. That's...
That's not fine.

Ok.

Oh, no. I didn't know.
Come on.

Yeah. Ok. All right.

Look. I am really sorry.

Well, you still have some
making up to do, young lady.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

How am I supposed to do that?

Um, I could think
of some places to start.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Sorry.

Are we talking
about sex right now?

I'm talking about whatever
you want to do.

Yeah. Well, we're not
gonna do any of that.

Oh. I get it.
You're one of those.

One of what?

One of those women who
want to hold out

but really want to give in.

No. I am my own woman,
and I'm not gonna get roped in

by the likes of you.

I'm not trying to rope you
into doing anything.

Ha! It's time
for you to go home.

Ah, yeah, because it is
getting hot in here.

- Uh-huh.
- Yeah.

So, um, when can I
see you again?

When do you want to
see me again?

In the morning.

That's really soon.

I know.
I want to stay.

You're not staying here.

- Oh, no?
- No, Calvin.

Calv...

Ha ha! Calvin.

Ohh! Calvin,
what are you doing?

Ahh! You can stay!
You can stay!

Aah! Ohh!

Ahh.

What's wrong?

What?

Uh, can we just...

Do what we were doing before?

Say no more.

Aah!

Ahh.

Man: ♪ ah, cut the,
we gonna cut the ♪

♪ Act stupid in the slot,
cause a ruckus ♪

Hey, Zac.

Yeah?

Need some help catching
your back?

With what?

You need some help?!

With what?

Putting on that lotion.

How do you know what I'm doing?

I know the sound of lotion
on a man's body, Zac.

I know the sound very well.

Danni, why don't you
go to sleep?

I'm trying, but you in there

smelling all good and stuff.

Danni, how you know
what I smell like?

My nose has an imagination.

Yo, yo. Is this gonna
be a problem?

I don't know what you're
talking about.

What do you mean?

Me staying here.

Not bothering me.

You sure?

Boy, you are not that damn fine,

but... ooh. Damn.

You must really work
your a*s, huh?

What?!

Just, you know, it's
sitting up there

like a...

Yo, danni. How are you
watching me?

Hot daaam... I'm not!

Yo, danni!

Daddy, daddy.

Yo. That's creepy as hell!

It's not!

Come on!

Yo. I want my money back, man.

Please come get it.

Ok. I'm kidding.

Yo. I want my money back.

- Come get it.
- Danni, that's not funny!

Ok, ok.

This is why I didn't
want to stay here!

This is better than a shelter,

sleeping next
to a bunch of other ...!

Give it!

You better stay in there.

Boy, I don't know
who you think you are,

but you are not that damn sexy.

You heard me.

I like that turtleneck, though.

- Come on, danni!
- Sorry!

It's a joke.

And you're smoking.
Yeah.

They don't touch for that
at the airport?

I have a prescription
for cataracts.

Damn. I wish...

- Here.
- No, I can't.

No. Here. Come on.
You can smoke.

And if I lose my job, then what?

Uh, it wouldn't be
the first time.

Just smoke it.

"Wouldn't be the first time."

Oh, my god.
Just let me know

if davie tries to stop you.

He know I got hella...
On him.

Here.

You sure you got me?

Do you know how many
hoes he's sleeping with, huh?

I got you.
You're welcome.

Oh, sh*t. What is this?

That's that hybrid.

Go ahead. Drink it in.

You ain't getting this back.

- We'll see.
- Stay in there!

Just pull it down real quick.

Let me see it again
live in living color.

Did you wear them
like that in jail?

Danni!

So what do we do?

What do you mean?

If you want me to leave, I will.

I think that maybe we should...

Look, baby, please think

about what you're
about to say to me.

Gary, I have done nothing
but think

for the last few days.

Is that him?

I'm sure it is.

Girl, this wife came
to the restaurant.

The whole restaurant.
The whole...

Oh, sh*t.
Um, hi.

Hi.

I'm clearly
interrupting something.

I can just come back later.
No, no, no, no.

I'll let you two talk.

Andi?

Yeah, you should.

Shall I take my things with me?

Shall I take my things with me?

Andi.

Gary, can you just go for a walk

for a little bit
and let us talk?

No. No. I'd like to hear
that from her.

Well, I've known her
for a long time,

so can you?

Ok.

Girl, what the hell?

He brought all his stuff
over here?

Girl, he said he moved out,
and when I walked in,

he was here with all his things.

- Oh. So he left her?
- Yes.

In here crying like a baby.

Well, that's one good thing.

- How?
- He's here.

He just made up with that woman.

Wait. I don't... you
missing the point.

He's here for you.
He left her, so...

You know what I'm mad about?

I'm mad he gave her that ring.

I know it sounds crazy.

Look. He's here.

It matters how he got here.

He wasn't happy.

Yeah, but she was.

She was so happy with him.

She loved him.
I... I saw it in her eyes.

I saw it in her body.

She loves him,
and I feel like...

What did you think
would happen, Andi?

Not this!

You can't have it
all your way, ok?

He's here.
He left her, ok?

You just got to stick
with the here and now.

I don't know what to tell you.

You got to deal with this.

When I found out he was married,

I should have stopped.

But you didn't,
so let's just deal

with the here and now, ok?

- Karen, you don't understand.
- Look, honey.

It's over. He's here.
Just start from here.

Just one day at a time.

Girl, one day at a time.
Come on.

- Yeah.
- Good.

Hey.

Hmm.

Hey.
Hey.

What time is it?

Hmm. Oh, it's 1:00.

Oh...

I'm sorry. I got to go.

Ahh. I didn't plan
to stay this late.

Ok.

Am I gonna see you again?

Yeah. Call you tomorrow?

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry.

Stop apologizing.

All right.
Good night.

Good night.

Ooh!

What are you doing up?

I knew you got your a*s done.

- What?
- Your a*s looks good.

You got the side dimples
filled in.

No. That's Calvin!

Ha ha ha!

That's why I hate
calling your a*s

because I know it's on mute,
and I know you're laughing.

I'm sorry.
You are a dirty b*tch.

- Girl, bye!
- No. Wait, wait.

So that's his a*s?

Yes. That's what I've
been trying to tell you.

His a*s is pretty.

I know.

Prettier than yours.

- Really, danni?
- Ok, ok, ok.

So you slept...
You slept with him?

Girl, he came on so strong.

I was weak.

Uh, well, what's with the sex?

Like, is it big?

Mmm. I don't know.

Wait. What do you mean?

He didn't come up.
What?!

Girl, I saw those panties,

and I just let him do me
all night.

I... I couldn't.

Can I get his number?

- Will you stop it?
- All night?

He didn't come up at all.

Girl, I don't know.
I don't know any man

that's not waiting
for his turn, you know?

Jerome don't be down
there 30 seconds

before he like, "do me."

Stop putting things
in my head, ok?

I'm not putting
things in your head,

and he ain't putting his head
in nothing either.

Ohh. See? Why did I
send you that picture?

Ok. Well, I got to get up
in a few hours for work.

That never stopped you
from talking to me before.

I got to go.

You're about to send
that picture

to Karen and Andi, aren't you?

I sent it to them
when you sent it to me

already, girl, ok?

Ugh! Oh, my god! Bye!

Bye!

Red panties.

That's some sh*t right there.

I know you're scared.

I'm scared, too.

Tell me what I'm scared of.

Everything.

The things my wife said to you,

that I'm an ab*ser,
that I'm lying,

if I'll stay,
if this is all real.

To tell you the truth,
there's things

I'm scared about, too.

Like what?

You got to be able
to handle my honesty.

Tell me.

What if I was supposed to
stay in my marriage

and work it out,

you know, figure it out, fix it?

That's fair.

You're not... not mad about that?

No.

Thank you for understanding.

Let's just take it
one day at a time.

I think I may need
one minute at a time.

I get it.

She may come back to see you.

Yeah, I was thinking about that.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna tell her
I can't represent her.

You think that's best?

It's my only option.
What do you mean?

What is it? Tell me.

Baby, I don't have a prenup.

She's gonna take everything.

Oh. Oh, gosh. Um...

Well, you could just get
a really good lawyer.

That was my worry.

That's why I didn't
want to leave her.

But you said it was
because of the children.

I mean, they're my main reason,

but losing half of everything
I worked for is the other...

But, um...

Maybe if you represented her,
you could...

What the hell are you saying?

Nothing. Never mind.

Right. Forget about that.

I just know half
of what she takes from me is

half of what she takes
from our future.

I am going to try and forget
that you said that.

Babe, I'm... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

As hard as that may be.

No. I'm... I'm sorry.
I had a drink,

and there's just... just...

There's just a lot going on,
and I'm sorry.

Can we go to bed now?

I'm not angry.
Come on, babe.

Hey. I just want to
go to sleep.

- Babe, I'm sorry.
- Good night.

It's the bourbon.

Good night.

I love you.

Say it back to me.

I love you.
Good night.

Give me my pen.

Unless you're taking
all of that off,

stop dancing and give me my pen.

You funny.

What's so funny?
I don't...

Ha ha ha!

You funny.

What's so funny?

You are funny.

What are you talking about?

You be like, "yo, yo.
I like you."

"You look so good.
He look so good.

Let me see that..."

Yeah, let me see it
or get off my bed.

You do that
so that no one can tell

that you're lonely.

I'm not lonely.

Oh, yes, you are.

I'm not.

You... you be chasing
after Jerome.

He's chasing after me.

That's because you
give it up to him

whenever he wants.

- Zac!
- I'm just saying.

Look at you.

Pbb! What the hell
you mean?!

- Wait. Wait...
- No. Get your b*tch a*s out!

Ow! Wait, wait!

Get your a*s out of my house!

Wait, wait.

You ever notice
how funny that sounds?

Ok. I'm about to throw
all your sh*t out.

Wait. No wait.
Waaait. Waaait.

- Zac!
- Ok. Wait, wait.

I'm gonna be serious.
I'm gonna be serious.

- Look at you.
- You said that.

Stop. Listen. Listen.

- Look at you.
- Ok.

Ok. Look. Listen.
Look at how beautiful you are.

Just look.
You're just, like, so soft

and chocolatey.

You be chocolate.

What are you doing?

Like a chocolate cloud.

What are you doing?

I don't know.
I don't know.

Ok. You are high as hell
right now,

so you should go.

I... I am,
but wait, wait.

I know how beautiful you are

when I'm high or I'm not,

and it just makes me think,
like, how different

things could have been
if you would have

paid attention to me

rather than making jokes
about my body

and pushing me off
on your friend.

You're an as*h*le.

Yeah.

Hmm. I'm the as*h*le.

I got to go to bed.

Yeah, you should do that.

That pen, that's... that...

Hoo! That pen.

You're soft, though.

Soft and chocolatey.

Soft and chocolatey,

and that pen... that's...

That's the truth teller
right there.

Wait. Wait.

Shut up!

Hi.

Can I talk to you?

No.
Please.

Look. You need to talk
to your husband, ok?

He won't talk to me.

Well, I'm sorry.

Will you please leave him alone?

No. Will you
please leave me alone?

I ain't got nothing
to do with this.

He likes you.

He don't even know me, ok,

and how did you know
where I work?

He liked your pictures
on qwikgram.

I'm getting rid of that sh*t.

Can you just please
leave him alone?

Honey, I'm not messing
with your husband, ok?

He came after me.

What, you turned him down?

Look. You really just
need to talk to him.

I want to talk to you.

I don't want to talk to you.

Please.

What the hell is going on?

I love him so much.

Well, you cheated on him.

I made the stupidest mistake
of my life.

I slept with someone.

It was just sex.
I got weak.

This ain't none of my business.

- It's really not.
- It is, ok,

because he is great.

He is perfect with our children.

He loves me from the bottom
of his heart.

He doesn't cheat on me.

He doesn't even look
at other women.

I can't believe I'm saying
all this to you.

I can't either,
and if, uh, want me

to stay away from him,
you should probably stop

telling me how good he is.

I'm sorry. I've just
never been

in a situation like this before.

Neither have I ever.

Look. I just hope
that...

Look, honey.

Stop hoping, ok?

Go home. Talk to your husband.

I ain't in this. I'm not.

Will you just please
not talk to him anymore?

Ok. Good-bye.

That... that's not a no.

Bye.

Give me 6 months, ok?

Just to try to save
my marriage, 6 months.

If it doesn't work,
I'll walk away.

I'll bring him to you.

Just give me 6 months, please.

Right. Ok.

Come on with it.

With what?

Don't try it, girl.

Did you sleep with him?

- No.
- No, ma'am.

You got that glow.

Look. We just had dinner.

How was the meat?

You know what, Maurice?

If you're gonna be vulgar,

I'm not going to
talk to you about it.

Ok, ok. Guess you just
woke up a virgin.

Will you stop it?

Was it good?

What are you talking about?

Heh. Well, I was talking
about the date.

That's that guilt talking now.

You did it.
I know you did it.

Wait. What did he tell you?

He didn't tell me anything,

but your face has
told me everything. Ha!

Ok. Look. We had dinner.

It was nice.
That was it.

Something turned you off.
What was it?

How do you know this?

Sabrina, we've been sitting
next to each other

for years now.

I know you.

- All right.
- I knew it.

I knew it! I knew you did it!

- No. No, no, no, no.
- Nasty.

No, no. We didn't do it.
He just gave me a little...

- Uh-uh.
- You know?

Was he good?

Yes. Ha! It was really good.
It was amazing,

and he loved it.

- Oh, yeah?
- He was just really committed.

- Oh.
- He wouldn't stop.

Oh, yeah, girl. Go ahead.

And when I tried to pull him up,

I just... I don't know,
he wouldn't come up,

so I couldn't see if he was
hard or anything.

- Hmm.
- What do you think?

Girl, I think you found
the last unicorn.

M-Maurice?

You know how men get.

They be like,
"I'm done. Your turn."

You sound like danni.

Please don't ever say that
to me again.

Do not talk
about my friend that way.

She probably told you
some stupid... like

because he didn't want to
come up that he was g*y.

Dumbass.

She didn't say that.

You need to get that and her
out of your head.

That is a good man.

Hmm.

Ahem. Uh, Maurice,
I was thinking

about buying him something.

Ooh, girl! He must
have been damn good.

You're buying him stuff already?

Be careful with that.
They took all Maurice's money.

Well, can you just tell me

what do you think about these?

Oh, I own those.

Uh-uh. He's not gonna
like that.

That's for easy access.

Hmm. Heh. Ok.

What about that one?

Oh. No... no, ma'am.

That is also for...
He's not gonna like

any of those.

See right there?
That's a flap

for that quick slap.

Well, I have customers.

We ain't even open yet.

Yeah. Whatever.

Hey, girl.

Oh, perfect timing.

Except when it comes to men.

Oh, I meant I got a break, so...

- Oh, yeah.
- You want to go

to the juice bar?

- Yes, please.
- Ok. Let's go.

Jamie, I'll be right back.

Girl, let's get this juice.

- I'm ready.
- So?

- What is it?
- How's it going?

Tell me how last night went.

No. Enough of my sh*t.
You tell me. Come on.

Tell me. I want to know.

I was in the shower
this morning,

and I remember you
telling me that his wife

came to the restaurant.

- Oh, god.
- Uh-huh.

What were you talking about?

It was nothing.

- Hey.
- Hmm?

What is it?

Ok. Fine.

So who is this guy?

Some guy I met
at the supermarket.

Do not date a married man.

Girl, he ain't married.
He's leaving.

Do you not see
what I'm going through?

It's not like that.

It must be like that
if she's meeting you

at the restaurant.

Will you listen, ok?

He forgot his wallet,
called his wife,

she brought it to him.

Oh. They're swingers.

No. They're not, ok?

She cheated on him,
and he's leaving her.

What you gonna get?

That sounds awfully familiar,
don't you think?

Do you want to know
what happened?

- Yes.
- Ok. Ah-ah.

His wife showed up
at my job this morning.

- What?
- Yeah.

She was telling me
how good he is

and just begging me
to leave him alone.

- Did she threaten you?
- No. Girl, no.

She was begging.
I mean, full white tears,

all of it.

- The white tears?
- Yes. White ones.

Mmm. Saying what?

That he's a good man,
just please leave him alone,

give her a chance
to fix her marriage,

give her 6 months.

If it don't work out,
she'll bring him.

- What?!
- Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait.
Is this a black woman?

That's what I thought
because that's crazy.

Exactly.
That's insane.

Wait. So do you think
he's gonna leave her?

Who knows?

Do you like him?

He's all right.

Oh, you like him like him.

Look. I just met him. Stop.
You gonna order?

Go ahead. Order something.

No.
This is more important.

You should go for it.

- No. I'm not gonna do that.
- No?

No. Look. If he gets
a divorce, maybe,

but until then,
I don't want to be

the rebound chick.

Like me?

I didn't mean it like that.

No, it's true.

- Andi.
- No. Look. It's ok. It's ok.

Girl, I'm sorry.
Really, I am, ok?

Something made me feel
so sick last night.

What was it?

Do you know he asked me
to represent her

to help him with his divorce?

- What?!
- Yeah.

He just said it like that?

I mean, he was a bit drunk,
but yeah.

- That is low.
- I know,

but it's so out of character,

and the whole time I'm thinking,

"do I even know this man?"

Andi, you not thinking
about doing it?

No. Not at all,

but I'll tell you something
else that bothers me.

What?

She hasn't called me today.

You want her to call you?

I mean, I'm gonna refer her
to another lawyer,

but... why hasn't she
called me?

Something's up.

I wonder what it is.

I don't know,

but it's not good.

I'm not even hungry anymore.

It's juice, girl.
It's not a meal replacement.

Either way, I'm not hungry.

My appetite is gone.
Is that ok with you?

You can go.

- I'm getting a smoothie.
- Ok. Fine.

Hi. How are you?

Ms. Barns,
Mr. Bellamy would like

to see you
in the conference room,

and he said to bring
your things.

Next on "sistas"...

- What's going on?
- Ms. Borders, go on.

Are you really ok with this?

I'm telling you
he came on to me.

I'm telling you he was high.

Are you saying he can only be
attracted to me if he's high?

Come on.
He could be the one,

but whatever you do,
don't cheat on him.

You know, I had
the greatest time last night.

- Did you?
- You didn't?

You did do all the work.

Because you didn't want to.

As long as you keep
being this girl right here,

we always gonna be friends,

but that girl
that I met that night,

don't ever let her show up,

and we won't have no problems.
