01x08 - Old Faithful

[bunniefuu]

- I know you ain't got
- no damn attitude with me.

Previously on "sistas"...

You see how she talks to me?

She makes me feel
like I'm nothing!

Go!
She be talking about how

you are the only one
that didn't use your degree,

she be talking about how
you want to diet,

but you eat everything you see,

- and she be talking about how
- you so ratchet that the other girls

don't be wanting to
take you nowhere.

So, they talk about me.

Who?
Karen and Andi.

No. You should not have come here,
Gary.

Well, you should've
returned my calls.

Gary, this is a bad idea.

Will you come home?

I'll come home when I'm done.

Hey, baby.

Oh...

Who was that?

Who?

The man that dropped you off.

Ok, Gary,
you need to relax, because...

Is that him?

Is that who?

I just feel like
you're seeing someone else.

I can't do this with you
tonight, ok?

Yeah, I-I know, because, um,

you haven't returned any of
my calls all day.

I had to go into your office.
What's going on?

That woman that opened
the front door for you,

she fainted.

I called 911 and she begged me

to ride with her
to the hospital.

That was her grandson.

He just brought me
back home, ok?

My car's still at the office.

I'm sorry.

Are you ok?

Yes.

How is she?

She'll be fine.

It's just when I saw him
hugging you...

He was hugging me because
he was thankful.

I'm sorry.

I should've been more sensitive.

You shouldn't have been
looking out the window at me.

I know.
I'm sorry.

I just been out of my head.

I never should've asked you
to take on

my wife's case to help me.

What the hell was I thinking?

I'm representing her.

You are?

Mm-hmm.

I don't think
you should do that.

Especially not for me.

I'm not doing it for you.

I have no other option.

My boss would have it
no other way.

I'm sorry you're in all this.

Apparently, you are worth
a lot of money,

and she wants half.

I figured that.
Mm.

So, we have a serious issue.

Either I tell your wife...

Ex-wife.

Current wife

that I can't represent her,

and then my boss gets pissed
and I get fired,

or she finds out that I rep you

through her private detective

and I lose my job and my life.

It's done.

So, pardon me

if I didn't get a chance
to talk to you.

I had to clear my head.

Do you, Gary?

I promise I do.

Good.

With him?

Gary, I just told you.

Does he have your

no.

Did you give him yours?

What are you doing?

You're a lawyer.

I know I have to ask
the right questions.

Well, these questions
are pissing me off.

But you didn't
answer the questions.

You got a lot of nerve.

I just want to know.

You've been acting
a bit strange.

I have been acting strange

for good reason,
don't you think?

I'll give you that.

I'm going out
with my girlfriends.

What am I supposed
to do around here?

Is everything about you, Gary?

Wow.
Ok. Um...

I'm gonna go for a drive.

Yes.
Do that.

Blackman: Hey, there.

Your friend's
over there dancing.

Want to?

No.
My feet hurt.

Girl!
Don't be grabbing on me.

Get over here
and sit your a*s down.

Bye, gentlemen, bye.
Thank you.

Girlfriend.
Sabrina.

Sit down.

Oh. Ok.

b*tch got problems today.

Damn, what is going on with you?

That for me?

Here.
I got your vodka.

I know you b*tches
been talking about me.

What are you talking about?

Zac told me everything
that h* said.

Zac?
Yes.

He was smoking, so, he was
telling the truth.

Danni, you're gonna let
a man that's mad at Karen

tell you what we've been saying?

I don't know, girl.
Everything he says

sounds really true.

Stop, girl, just stop.

You need to smoke.

He took my pen.

And he still has it?
Yes.

He took it and he didn't
come out the bathroom.

Whoo, he gonna be toe up.

Yeah.
That's that special blend.

You really need to stop
listening to him

'cause we're your girls.

Oh, I'm still gonna ask him.

Girl, you're gonna
ask him, that's fine,

but you better watch it tonight.

Well, he's a lightweight.

He'll be asleep
before I get home.

Or on a pole.

Now, that I'd like to see.

She needs to sit down somewhere.

♪ Light it up,
light it up... ♪

Let her get her dance on, ok?

And her drink on.

You need... drink up.

You're better drunk.
You happy then.

And be careful about
what you say tonight, ok?

This whole Zac thing?
Don't tell her

that he's living with you.

I'm gonna tell her
when she sits down.

Not tonight.

Girl, the things he says
sound really true.

Can you please stop?

Yeah, who's this
dude she's seeing?

Mm-mm.
The first time I heard of it.

She never mentioned it
to me, but

I don't think it's nothing.

See?
That's what I'm talking about.

Her and Andi.
Holding out on me.

They're not holding out on you.

Girl, you know
they have their own

little clique within our group.

I don't like that...

They're not talking about you.

You're very paranoid.
And by the way,

you made that little clique
happen, remember?

How did I make it happen?

Because you talk
too much, danni.

What?

You do.

Ok, I don't talk
about the big things.

I talk about stuff
that don't matter.

Ok.

. Girl, hush.
I'ma talk to them

about holding out on US.
Where's Andi?

She had to help
somebody at work.

Got sick or something.

She'll be here in a minute.

Watch... she won't even show up.

Yes, she will.

No, no, no.
When I invite someone,

they never show up.

Just like that time at maxie's.

Girl, somebody gets
k*lled there every weekend.

So? That didn't stop US
when we were at spelman.

That was when
we were in college.

We were young and foolish then.

We know better now.

If you say so.

Why do you keep looking
at your watch?

You know, when I get home...

Yeah, with a man.

You know I like to be
at home in the bed.

With a man.

I just gotta be up early

for work in the morning.

No, ma'am. Mm-mm.

Girl, stop the lying.
That's what I'm talking about.

Holding out on me.

Ok, all right, all right.

He is coming by.

Girl, you gonna play
with them lace panties?

Girl, every time I tell
you something about a man,

I end up regretting it.

Yeah, when you like him.

No, I'm just
getting to know him.

That's what we all say

when we're planning our wedding.

Whatever.

Oh, ok, I need another drink.

Are you having fun?
Oh, you gonna need

a whole lot of drinks
when I get finished

telling you what I have
to say to you.

No, no, no, no. No.

What is it?

No. Mm-mm.
I'm pissed.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.

How was the dancing?

Mm. Saw you getting
your move on.

What you gotta tell me, danni?

Mm. Uh, you b*tches
are talking about me

behind my back and... like,

uh, I need to go on a diet

and I eat everything, like,

everything? Really?

Yeah.
I said that.

But we all said it
to your face, so,

what are you talking about?

It's hard for me...

It's hard for all of US.

Oh, and why am I
the last to know

that you're seeing some dude?

I'm not holding out on you, ok?

I just met him.

Then tell me.

Ok, um...

I met him at the supermarket.

We've been talking
for a few days.

He just filed for divorce.

Well, that's...
That's good, right?

Yup.
He lying.

I would say the same thing,

but I sent him to Andi
my damn self.

For real?
Yes.

So... it's real.

Get this... he showed up
at my house

and pissed me off.

What was he doing at your house?

Exactly.

He said he wanted to apologize.

So, he pulled me
real close to him

and out of nowhere he kissed me.

What?

Wow.
Yeah.

But Zac was standing
right there.

Wow.
That's really awkward.

Wait.
You... ain't surprised.

Uh...
Who told you?

I just...

Who told you?

Wait. Are y'all
talking to Zac?

No.

Well, then it must be you.

Whoo, girl, them shoes!

Those shoes look so good!

So good.

Danni.

He's living with me.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
No.

It's not like that. It's
not like that. Tell her.

Tell her the whole story, danni.

I found out
he wasn't with that girl.

He was living in a shelter.

I told him he could
come live with me

and I needed help
paying the rent.

And then that's when he told me

all the sh*t you were saying
behind my back.

Oh. Ohh, is she quiet now?

Said stuff about... people were
saying behind my back.

That's good.
That's real good.

Look, she's...

She's only helping him out.

Nothing is going on
between them.

He needed a place to stay.

You know, I just...
I think it's funny.

How he can pay half of your rent

but he couldn't pay mine.

He's a hustler.
But it's ok.

You are, too, so, you know that.

That's why you ain't never
got no money.

Mm.
Oh, we going low, b*tch?

That's what you do!

I'm not accepting your sh*t.

That boy loved you,
but you made him feel like

he couldn't do nothing right.

You... that up, and now

you mad at the world.

No.
I'm leaving.

I'm leaving.
I'm gonna go.

No, no, it's ok.
I got this...

No, I'm not gonna stay here

and deal with this sh*t.

She mad as hell now.

Mm! The truth hurts.

You know what?

I know that if he's
staying with you,

it's only a matter of time
before you're... him.

He's gonna be getting your
little check, too, soon.

Watch. Watch.

Keep it up.

You're just confirming
everything he said.

I have a date
with that red panty guy. Mm-hmm!

Y'all should've seen my face
when I saw them.

You know, I opened his pants
and I dropped down

and I was just like, "whoo!"

Dicktorious got a secret."

Right? Right?

I wonder where Andi is.

That was great.
That was great.

Mm-mm.

I love you so much.

Don't tell me you doubt it.

I don't doubt that
you love me at all.

You sure?

Ha! I know
that you love me.

And you love me?

You know that.
You really do.

I have to go, though.

What?

I told the girls I'll meet
with them, so...

What do I gotta do
to get you to stay? Hmm?

I told them I would.
Come on.

I need you so much right now.

Ok.

This is really hard
for me, but, um...

What is hard for you?

It's just hard
for a man like me to say.

Say it.

I'm scared.

I'm scared as hell,
you know, and I'm...

I just really need you
to stay the night with me.

I know that's selfish.

sh*t, it is selfish.

I've been that way
for our entire relationship.

It's ok.

It really is.
I get it.

I do.

I just love you so much.

Your being here...

The only thing
that gives me comfort.

I was going crazy all day.

Are you sure
that private detective

didn't follow you here
or to my office?

That's what you're
thinking about?

I had to ask.
I don't...

I'm pouring my heart out to you

and that's what you're
thinking about?

This is just
a lot for me, Gary. I...

I know.
Baby, I know, but

don't worry.

I'm watching my back.

And he is, too.

Do we know who he is?

Yeah.
I, uh, I have his number

but I haven't spoken to him yet.

Why would you?

Gary, please don't ask me
any questions.

Ok, ok.

I won't ask you anything else
about it.

Ok.
But...

But?
I just want you

to stay here with me

and hold you for
a little while longer.

Just a little while?
Please. Please.

Maybe.

If you beg a little harder,

I may call the girls

and tell them I'm not coming.

Text them.

That's rude!

Oh, my...
It is!

Just text them.
No. I gotta go.

I gotta go.

Where is she? Something
came up. She ain't told me.

See what I'm telling you?
Stop it.

Wait. What does
danni mean by that?

I don't care.
It don't matter.

Are you still talking about me?

No.
I'm going home.

What is going on, Karen?

I'll tell you about it
in the car, ok?

Yeah, you do that.
You tell her.

I'll talk to you later.

I don't like this.

Bye.

Oh, no, no, no.

I don't want you holding

Will you stop it?

You know that's your girl.
You love her.

It's probably Andi.

I'm really not answering it.

Danni. Da...

Girl!
Where are you?

Hey!
Girl, what's happening?

Girl, they are mad.

About what?

Well, how much time you got?

Girl, give me the tea.

Well...

Oh.

Oh, ok, this is Karen.

I'll call you back, ok?

All right.
Call me back.

Bye.

Karen.
Tell me what's going on.

Danni's being a real...

What is it?

She let Zac move in with her.

What?

She said that he was
staying at a shelter.

A shelter?

Yes, ok?

She said that he was there,
and so,

she let him move in he could
help her with the rent.

Can you believe that?

Well, uh...

Well, what?

Hold on.
I'm not the enemy.

And you know that danni's
been struggling.

I know that.
And you kicked Zac out.

So, this is my fault?

Hold on.
I didn't say that.

Yeah, well, you kinda did.

Listen, listen to me, ok?

Just sometimes you're
a little harsh.

Like when?
Um, Karen?

No.
Tell me when I was harsh, Andi.

Karen, let's not
do this tonight, ok?

So, because I don't
take his sh*t, I'm the b*tch?

I can't talk to you
when you're this upset,

so, can you calm down?

Ok, well, then, I'll listen.

I'll listen. Talk.

Ok. Um,

let's talk about it
in the morning.

Karen?

I forgot Gary's there.

Uhh. Do I need
to come over there?

No, just go
take care of that, please.

Ok.
I'll call you in the morning.

Love you.

I'll be right back, ok?

Where are you going?

Karen's going through
some things, so...

Babe.

It's just a lot right now, ok?

I'll be back.

Oh, can I use your car?

Yeah.
The keys are in my pocket.

Oh, you know what?
Um, wait.

That's a bad idea.

What?

If the private detective
is following you,

that's a bad idea.

I should take an uber.

No, no, no, no.
Just take the car, babe.

It's late.
You know,

nobody's watching me this late.

What if he is?

Where's she getting
the money to pay him

and I not know it?

I don't know.
She doesn't have her own money?

Wait, has she moved some money?

I don't know.

Are you telling me
she's moving my money?

I'm not telling you anything.

'Cause if she is,
that will affect US.

You know what?
I don't like this at all.

So, I'm gonna go.

Babe.

No.

You just apologized

for bringing me into this.

So, no!

I'm sorry.

Andi, I'm sorry.

That's very funny.
I'm on my way home.

Well, I'm fine.
Go have a good time.

Enjoy yourself.

Where's Zac?

In my bed.

Danni!

I walked in and I saw him

passed out naked.

Why is he in your bed, danni?

Girl, he is high.

Girl, please, please,
please, please,

do not sleep with that boy.

Good night. Danni,
are you listening?

I'm serious.

I'm not.

Oh, my god, danni, please.

You better listen to me.
Don't do that.

You hear me?

All right. Bye.

No-o-o, no-no-no.

Danni, are you here...
I'm gonna call you tomorrow.

Go in there
and play with panty boy.

That's not funny.

I'm gonna talk to you tomorrow.

Bye.

And we're gonna call Karen, too.

Girl, don't make me
hang up on you.

Too soon?

Yes.

All right.
I'm sorry.

Bye.
Bye. Tomorrow!

You look cute and comfortable.

Thank you.

Honestly, I was
getting ready to leave.

Thought you were standing me up.

I'm sorry.

Same thing happened last time.

Um...
What's up?

It's nothing.
It's nothing.

No. Come on, now. Come on.

Huh? Remember, use your words.

Don't talk to me
like a kid, Calvin.

I'm sorry.
That wasn't my intention.

But come on.
Tell me what's up.

It's just those.

What?
They're just underwear.

But they're so feminine.

You think?

Kinda.

Huh.
Never really thought about it.

Really?

Yeah.

Look, my parents just raised me

to be very open-minded.

Uh-huh. Ok.

Do you have a problem with this?

I'm just getting to know you.

I see.

You see what?

I see you're gonna keep
judging me all the time.

I just... Mm.

Sabrina.

I don't like them.

I don't like them.
I don't like them.

I like my man in boxers

and... with dirty fingernails

and... and even your feet
look better than mine.

Is... is that clear
toenail Polish?

Ok, first of all,
they are buffed.

Ok.

Yeah.
But I get it.

You don't want me.

Um... oh, come on.
I didn't say that, Calvin.

No, no.
You want me,

but you want me to be
who you want me to be.

This... this... this is new for me.

I just need a minute
to adjust, you know?

I'm just trying to see
how and what you think.

What is there to understand?

I'm just me.

I can't be nobody else but me.

So, what are you saying?

I'm saying maybe
we should hold back

on the intimacy part, you know?

Just get to know each other.

Ok.

Sabrina, I'm not saying
I want to stop this.

All right?
That's not what I'm saying.

But until you see me
the way I see you,

I mean, hell, I don't
talk about the things

that bother me about you.

Wait.
Something bothers you about me?

Ah, hell.
Nope. Nope, nope, nope...

Oh, no...
You ain't doing this.

Ok, wait, wait, wait.
Will you just tell me

what bothers you about me?

I think I'ma say good night.

Are you sure?
You don't have to leave.

Yeah.
I'ma go.

Did I hurt your feelings?

No.
Not at all.

I just know I'm not
what you're looking for.

I never said that.

Look, just think
about it, all right?

Are you really leaving?
It's late.

Yeah.

Are you sure?
I'm really sorry.

There's nothing to be sorry for.

I'm just me.

Look, I'll call you
tomorrow, all right?

Ok.

Good night.

Damn!

Hey.

Damn.
You look good.

Thank you.
Come in.

Brought some wine.

Ok.
Open it.

Of course.

That's a good bottle.

Thanks.

You know... I'm surprised
you called me.

Why?

Because you haven't
returned my texts.

Oh.
You know I got a situation...

Yeah.
I understand that.

Mm.
And he's here all the time.

I know.
But that don't mean

I don't stop thinking about you.

I think about you, too, rico.

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.
Yeah?

You laying up with old boy
thinking about me?

Look, listen,

he can't do what you do,
ok, rico?

Come on.
You know how it is. Ahem.

Look.

Why ain't you ever date me?

Oh, rico, come on.

You know we're
really good friends.

We're really good friends.
Come here, come on.

Look...
Come on.

Wait, wait.
I want to talk.

No, rico, we talk too much.

We never get to talk.
I know, rico.

On purpose.
Come on, rico, come on.

Sit down.
Come here, honey.

You know how I feel about you.

Yeah.

What?
I'm just some dude you call

when you ain't getting
what you need from old boy?

Rico, can we... can we not?

No.
I love you and you know this.

Rico...
No, no, no.

As much as I want
to give you all this,

I know you playing me.

So, now, this,
we not doing this.

I got something better now,
and I came here

to tell you that face to face.

I'm getting married, so,
I need you to lose my number.

And you're gonna miss
this tongue and this...

You just came here
to humiliate me, then?

No.
I came here to free me.

Have a good life, Karen.
Enjoy the wine.

Oh!

What the hell is
going on with me right now?

You tell me.

Girl, you know I had
to come check on you.

I told you I'm fine, ok?
I'm fine.

Uh-huh.
Well, who the hell was that?

Wait. Was that rico?

Andi... you still
messing with him?

You know he's old faithful.

Wow.

I know you not laughing

like you ain't got t-j
on speed dial.

Which I never use.

Since meeting Gary.

Ok, touche.

Anyways.
That's over.

Rico told me
he's getting married.

Wait. What?

Mm-hmm.
Girl, he told me off.

All the way off.

What did he say?

Basically that
he's not a piece of meat.

Oh.
Mm-hmm.

Go, rico.

I know, right?

But his a*s
is a slab of pork. Ahem.

That you love.

He knows what to do.

Uh, then you complain
about how much he sweats, so...

Yeah, but he brought wine.

I was just gonna
deal with it tonight.

Zac and Aaron got under
your skin like that, huh?

And my mama.

And your mama?
Yeah.

She came by earlier.

Oh. You know,
I need to call your mom.

You know she's not gonna
tell you what you want to hear.

But she tells me
what I need to hear

and that's why we all love her.

Ok, well,
you need to call your mama.

So she can die when
she finds out about Gary?

No, thank you.

What's going on with that?

I met somebody tonight.

What?

Girl.

Oh, no, not like that.

But, um, the woman who went

to the hospital at my job...

Mm-hmm.
Her grandson.

His name is Paris
and he brought me home and...

Girl, I don't know.

I just felt like I knew him.

So, get this. Ha!
What?

So, I go upstairs

and Gary is standing
at the window

watching US talk.

Girl, shut the... up.
He was!

Like a... stalker?

Like a stalker.
Oh, my god.

That's not cute.

No.
Well, it's kinda cute.

Andi, um...

Gary left his wife.

I know.

Well, you just

better be sure
that's what you want.

That's a lot, Karen.
Mm.

Ok, and get this.
When I was leaving,

he started grilling me
about her moving his money.

Oh, no, I don't like that.

And I don't, either.
Mm-mm.

And I told him that.

So, what does that mean?

I think I'm gonna
tell him to leave.

Really?
Yeah.

Oh, let me tell you this.

You better be sure
that you want that man

because he left his wife.

And all I'ma tell you is,

those little, pink condoms
say a lot about rico.

Well, I'm not marrying him.

What are you doing?
Please! Zac.

What are you doing?

Zac, what are you doing?

Shut up and kiss me.

Zac.

You're still talking.

Zac.

Next on "sistas"...

Did we...

You?
You're pretty good.

Why would you let this happen?

I've been thinking and

I think you should go with her.

Are you serious right now?

I don't see any other way.

Are we being
a little bit closed-minded,

considering the way
that you were raised?

I don't know, girl.
I think he's low, like down low.

Sweet! And low.

Let's go.
Down. Up. Come on.

What the hell?
I'm outta here.

Karen and no, no, no, no!
