Post by bunniefuu »

[Zac and Fatima]
Previously on Zatima...

-Jeremiah...
-Mama been askin' about you.

Just wants you to come by.

Let me hold some money.
I need some groceries.

Zac?
It's me, Connie.

-Who you lookin' for?
-My mom.

She left me again.
Damn!

-Fatima, you love me?
-Yes.

Hey!
This is Paul.

-What's up, man?
-You tell me.

You sure?

I'm Zac.
Oh, sh*t!

I think you need to talk to
somebody.

Dr. Reid is a therapist that
helps a lot of Black men.

-What are you doin' here?
-It's your mother.

What happened?

She overdosed on Fentanyl.

If I had known givin' you this
money was gonna do this...

I just wanted you to love me.

I know Zac already payed for
the first night, so...

-The check did not clear.
-I'm sorry, what?

All of our assets and accounts
are frozen.

Did you move forward on
that property?

It was a great investment.

That we couldn't afford!

-It's Gary.
-Gary?!

Gary was supposed to deposit
the money!

Don't worry about it, okay, Zac?
I'm gonna fix it.

I'm gonna get the money from
my father.

You think I'm a piece of sh*t?

I think you are a Black man who
did the best you could

with what you were given.

My mom went into
cardiac arrest.

I love you, Gladys.
Travel well with the angels, Ma.

She left some things for you
at the house.

-[Fatima] What is it?
-It's a VHS.

Mama, why are you crying?

[Gladys] 'Cause y'all deserve
better than me.

I had so much judgement,
I realize now

she was just tryin' her best.

I just hope one day I could be
the type of father

that can fix all the things
that she did.

You will, more than you know.

[Zac] What are you saying?

[Fatima] I'm pregnant.

Are you serious?

[Fatima] Yes! [giggling]

Oh my God...

[upbeat R&B music]

I know you not tryin' to sneak
outta here.

Yeah, yeah.

-No, I was...
-Uh-huh, uh-huh.

I was just debatin' if
I should wake you up.

You should always wake me up.
You know I wanna see you out.

Mm-hm.
How you feelin'?

[calm music]

I don't know.

That's fair.

Shouldn't I know how I feel,
though?

I mean, Zac, she just died.
It's a lot.

I know.

Hey, how 'bout this?

How 'bout you call Dr. Reid
and talk to him?

I thought about it.

Well, I'm sure he can help you
more than I can.

Mm, I don't know about that.

Um... [chuckling]

I'll call him after the funeral.

I think that's a good idea.

Yeah, I just don't know
the first thing

about plannin' a funeral, so...

I mean, we can plan together.

Knowin' your family,

you probably do know a lot
about funerals.

I see you got jokes.

A little bit.

But we can do it together, okay?

Yes, because we...

[Fatima] Ride together.

And we die together.

[Zac chuckling]

No, I don't like that.

-Yeah.
-[Fatima] Yeah.

-We got so much to live for now.
-We do.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

So, how about we live and rise
together?

Oh, we definitely rise together.

You know I can rise.

-Ain't nobody gotta tell ya.
-Hell yeah,

that's what got us in
this situation.

Yes, it is.
It is.

And you need to cover up
the girls now, man.

You a mom.

-First of all...
-You a mom.

Momma gotta have a life, too.

Ain't about to change
everything.

I got you, I'm playin' with you.

Mm, I don't wanna leave you.

It's fine, I'll be alright.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'll just...

Go to the office I guess,
see what Bryce got goin' on.

Hm, good ol' Bryce.

And Gary.

And Gary.
Yeah.

Well, at least Bryce got
the money from his dad,

that's good.

I don't know, babe.

I checked my accounts,
they still in the red, so...

You know what?
Don't even worry about it.

I'll wire you the money,
it's fine.

Mm-mm.

-Mm-mm, mm-mm.
-[Fatima] Zac...

-No, we not doin' that.
-[Fatima] What?

Not doin' that.

Alright, cool, just let your
account sit in the red, then.

Okay, so...

If it go under the red...

-[Fatima] Mm.
-Like, like burgundy,

then how about I'll call you
then?

-Yeah.
-[Zac] Yeah?

Yeah, do that.
Okay.

I love you.

Baby, look, I'm just gonna stay
home.

-I don't wanna leave you.
-No, no, no, no.

You heard me say that I'm broke,
I'm in the red, right?

Somebody gotta work.

-Somebody gotta work. [laughing]
-You right, you right, okay.

[Zac] I'm good, I'm good.
Trust me, I'm good.

I love you.

-I love you, too.
-Yeah. Alright.

I can't believe we got
a little Zac comin'.

-Not so fast.
-[Zac] It's not Zac yet?

[Fatima] What if it's a girl?

You know?

-Then...
-Feels like it could be a girl.

Then she'd be called Zatima.

Hmm...

You don't like it?
Zatima?

-Mm...
-What about Zakeisha?

Definitely not that.

-"Zakeisha, no, stop!"
-No, no!

"Zakeisha, stop!"
That's what you'll do.

She's gonna get bullied for
sure, we not doin' that.

No, no, no, no, no.
I love you.

I love you too.

Okay, get ready for work.

I'll call and check on you.

-Of course, I'll be fine.
-Yeah.

I got it, what you doin'?!

You don't bend over to get
no shoes,

I got the shoes, man.

You don't bend over for
the next nine months.

Ooh, thank you.

-Next nine months?
-Next nine--

-You did a little bendin' over.
-No bendin' over?

Alright, yes!

-I love you.
-[Fatima] I love you, too.

I'll meet you downstairs.

Actually, I'm, I'm good.
I can manage.

You go ahead and meet that
toothbrush

in the bathroom, though.

Okay?

It's that bad?

Mm-hm, yeah, it's...

[Fatima laughing]

[Fatima] It hit you back.
Yeah, you caught that?

You used to love
my morning breath.

I just wasn't bein' honest.

-Yeah.
-Wow.

[Fatima] But I'm comfortable
now.

-Wow.
-So, I tell you the truth

-because I love you.
-Be your own keeper.

-Yeah.
-You lucky you pregnant.

I'm tellin' you, I could have
you out here

with stank breath, babe.

You could, you could.
You held me down.

-[Fatima] I'm just sayin'.
-I love you.

-[Fatima] I love you, too.
-Your fine self.

* Love ain't perfect

[Deja] Hello!

Good morning.

Damn, you fine.

Thank you.

I like them boots, too.

Damn, you got it goin' on.
Okay!

-Thank you, again.
-[Deja] I see you!

What you doin' out here?

-[Preston] You know, I was...
-Hold up.

You the police?

No.

Oh sh*t, I was gon' say,
"Arrest me, Officer!"

No, I'm not the police.
I'm a friend of Zac's.

-Oh, okay, okay.
-[Preston] Yeah.

Well, you know his mama just
died.

I heard.

Oh, you want me to knock on
the door for you?

No, no, no, no, no.
I'll wait.

For what?

Well, I know it's still kinda
early, so I'll just wait on them

-to get out.
-Trust me, they up, okay?

Just go ahead and knock.

I promise you,
he ain't gon' mind.

I'm sorry, who are you?

Oh, um, I, I'm sorry.
I'm Deja, I, I live next door.

-Okay, Deja.
-[Deja] And...

You are?

Oh, I'm Preston.

Preston.

Preston all pressed up
with Deja.

Excuse me?

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just,
I'm just bein' me.

By all means, that's somethin'
we've all gotta do.

Yeah, well, it is.

Well, listen, why don't you just
go ahead and knock?

No, I'm good.
I'll wait.

God, I love me a patient man.

Tall man.
A fine man.

A man who wear boots.
A man with a beard.

You know, just a sexy man...
Oh, hell.

Yeah, take your a*s back to
where you came from.

Okay, well, Preston,
call me, boo.

[Fatima] Deja...

Girl, can I get my...?!
Oh my God.

Can't even flirt.

So...

Preston.

Yeah.

Danni's Preston, wow.

Not anymore, just Preston.

-Just Preston, got it.
-[Preston] Yeah, yeah.

Um, she didn't give you her
number, did she?

No.
No, she didn't.

Okay.

Look, I'm gonna say, burn it
before it burn you.

-Yeah, just...
-[Fatima] I'm warning you.

-She's, uh, she's a lot.
-A lot.

-[Preston] Yeah.
-Yes, yes, she is, yeah.

Um, what brings you by this way?

Well, I was just waitin' around.

Do you, do you live over here?

No, I...

I, um...

I heard about Zac's mom.

Yeah.

I know this is, um, it's
gotta be a lot for both of you.

It really is, yeah.

How's he, um...
How's he doin'?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

-[Preston] You sure?
-Yeah.

I'm sure he would love to see
you.

Absolutely, I appreciate it.

Yeah, come on.

[calm music]

Come on in.

-Thank you.
-[Fatima] You welcome.

[calm music]

Zac!

[Zac] Yeah!

Hey, um, Preston's here!

[Zac] Alright, I'm comin' down!

Alright, I'm headed to work!

-[Zac] Alright!
-Alright, love you!

-[Zac] Love you more!
-Bye, Preston.

See ya.

-Yo!
-[Preston] Hey.

-What's good, boy?
-What's goin' on?

What you doin' here?

Heard about your mom.

[somber music]

Who told you about my mom?

Well, I saw that Danni had
posted somethin' about it.

She would post about it.

Well, she was just askin' for
prayers for you.

She was just asking for
attention.

Okay, well, you're probably
right,

but whatever it was, it worked.

-Alright, well...
-How you holdin' up?

I don't know.

I'll be fine after the funeral,
I guess.

When is that?

That's what Fatima and I tryin'
to figure out now, like...

What you got goin' on today?

You ask mad questions!

-You like the cops! What's up?
-I was just asking.

I don't, I don't know.
I might go to the office.

So, you still goin' to work?

Yes, what you want me to do?
Stay here?

No, no, no, I'm just askin'
'cause I figured

I'd hang with you.

You don't have a job?

Yes, I have a job.

So, what you wanna hang with me
for?

Look I'm just tryin' to be here
for you.

You sure?

Yes, Zac.
I'm sure.

'Cause the last n*gga that tried
to be here for me

got punched in the face.

Okay, why would you do that to
someone

who's tryin' to be there for
you?

[bass guitar plucking]

I'm tryin' to figure out how to
say this...

To be politically correct.

He was trying to be there,
there for me.

I'm not pickin' up the emphasis,
what you mean, "there, there"?

He...

Man, dude tried to kiss me, bro.

Oh, whoa, see?

That, that's
a c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Excuse me?

That's what we call a man who's
into other men.

A c*ck who will do...

Okay, yes, alright!
I get it now!

-Alright, never mind.
-Why you gotta be so vulgar?

Can we just not, we ain't gotta
talk about this no more.

-Well...
-Look, can we just...?

-I can promise you...
-[Zac] Uh-huh.

-Before God and all his angels.
-[Zac] Yes.

I will never try to kiss you.

Okay, yeah, I'd say we ain't
gotta talk about it, right?

So, why are we still here?

So, so we can hang.

You gon' have to choose
another word.

I can't say 'hang'?

You hang, I hang,
what's wrong with that?

Man, can you pause that?

We will never hang together.

That's just, that won't happen.

Then we can roll.

We won't roll together, neither.

You gotta, if we gon' do this,

you gon' have to figure out
your vernacular.

We can chill.
No, we can't chill, neither.

Just come with me.

-Whoa...
-Let me pause you.

-Okay.
-'Cause I'm not gonna

come with you, anyway.

You don't gotta keep repeatin'
it.

We just, how, how about this?

We can both relocate ourselves
to my office.

Okay, now see, that works.

Collectively as...

-[Preston] Men, yeah.
-Human mens, humans,

-as friends.
-[Preston] Okay.

Okay, yeah, alright.
Bet, bet, bet.

What?

-[Preston] What's wrong?
-When you start sayin' 'bet'?

What's wrong with me sayin'
'bet'?

I can't say 'bet'?

That's my word, like,
you don't say...

Like, you can't just say what
I say,

'cause you say 'bet,

then you slip up and
you say 'n*gga'.

Then I gotta punch you in
the face.

-Whoa, you know...
-[Zac] You know what I'm sayin'?

I would never use-- Have you
ever heard me say that word?

No, but I also never expected
somebody to randomly kiss me,

it happens.

-So, things happen.
-Okay, well,

I'm not gonna do either one of
those things, okay?

-I appreciate it.
-I'm not gonna say...

-That.
-[Zac] Uh-huh.

And I'm definitely not tryin' to
kiss you.

-So...
-Appreciate you.

-[Preston] We can just...
-I'mma go...

You go, I'll go,

and then together,
we'll, we'll go...

All that.

-I'ma be outside.
-[Zac] Go ahead.

That's...

This is all Danni's fault,
this is all Danni's fault.

[somber music]

[indistinct]

Yo...

Damn.

-Aw, damn.
-[Connie] Uh-huh.

-[Nathan] Man, sh*t.
-That's Ms. Barbara's son.

We told that fool to chill out,
man.

Never listened, man.

So, what's up, Connie?

You said you wanted to talk to
us?

Yeah, um...

It's about Zac.

Oh, come on, Connie.
Not this...

Oh, see, I told you she was
still tryin' to get with him.

I told you that.

[Tony] Connie, what's up?

No, I am not!

I'm actually real happy for
him and Fatima.

-I don't believe it.
-[Tony] Are you serious?

-Yeah!
-Uh-uh, I don't believe it.

Mm-mm.

Anyway, Ms. Gladys had some
insurance,

and she, like, left me in
the middle of it.

Huh?
You got a policy on her?

No, she, like, like I'm in
charge of it.

Oh, um, an executor.

Yup, yup.

Oh, aight.
So, what's the problem?

Hold on, wait, wait.

She left you some money,
and not her son?

No!

I'm, I'm the person, like,
I gotta give it to them.

I gotta distribute it.

Yeah, that's why it's called
an executor.

Aw, sh*t...

Right.

I see the problem.
Jeremiah.

-[Connie] Right.
-Yeah.

I mean...

You can't tell him that.

I think the insurance company
already sent them a letter,

and probably already know.

Yeah, he check that mailbox
like ten times a day,

lookin' for a check.

Exactly.

[Tony] That's crazy.

You know, maybe he won't read
it.

Jeremiah?
Yeah, okay.

You know, maybe he won't.
You're right.

Nah, nah, okay, you right.

Addicts, they see anything
with money,

they gon' read it.

Addicts can smell money,
[indistinct].

So...

I mean, what you gon' do?

I don't know, that's why I'm
askin' y'all to help me,

'cause I don't know what to do.

Huh, damn.
That's, uh...

That's a tough one, um...

I don't know.

I mean, um...

I got an idea, but, um...

You might not like it.

And you, you definitely
ain't gonna like it.

What?

I say you talk to Fatima.

Mm-mm.
Nah, nah.

Relax, I was thinkin' that.

[Tony] I'm tellin' you,
she's reasonable.

Whoa, wait.

This is family business,
alright?

And we don't really know her
like that.

For all we know, she might try
and steal the money.

Nah, Nate, that's somethin'
your a*s would do.

[Tony] Yeah, 100%.

Y'all think y'all know me?

Yeah, we do know you.
That's why we said it.

Come on, bruh.

You know what?

Actually, on second thought,
it's a good idea.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Let's tell Fatima
and see what she does.

This will be a good test for
her.

Yeah, I like this.

What you mean, test?
You still on this girl, bruh?

Didn't you just apologize to her
the other day?

And I'm still sorry!
I, yes, I meant that apology.

But this is
a different situation.

So, this will be
a good opportunity for her

to show us
what she's really about.

Aight, man, you sound
like you connivin'

or tryin' to catch with
somethin', bro.

Listen, I'm just tryin' to,
like, talk to her,

but not around Zac.

-What?
-Well, look, I mean...

Do you have her number?

Yeah, but I just,
I'd rather do it in person.

I'll get you her address to
her job.

Yeah, let's just have his ex
pop up at her job and say,

"I got a problem, Fatima,
help me solve it."

Yeah, that's gonna be
a good idea.

This is not gonna end good.

Hey, Ms. Barbara!
They got your son!

I'mma help bail him out!

I got him.

Damn.

I'll make some calls.

-Hey, Ms. Barbara!
-Love you.

That n*gga ain't gettin' out.

[bass-heavy music]

Whoa, hey!

How you doin'?

I'm good, I love this!

-You look good.
-You too, honey.

You know I gotta be bringin'
the fashion.

Yes, you do.
You look good.

How was last night?

I mean, he slept.

[Angela] He did?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Well, that's good, right?

Yeah, no, it is, it is, yeah.

And you two, you're doin' good?

You know what?

Yeah, considering everything,
we're doin' really good.

Well, see, that's all that
matters, right?

Yep, that is all that matters.

Did Bryce get the money
from his daddy?

sh*t, I hope so.

Angie, you hope so?

Look, that's not my man.
Remember?

For his sake, he better get that
money.

Yeah, I know Zac is probably two
seconds off that a*s.

Angela, mm-mm.

Now, you know I didn't mean it
like that.

Girl, it's too soon.
Come on.

[laidback music]

Yeah, but it's all good.

We'll clock in, then we can go
downstairs and have some coffee.

Yeah, that works, yeah.

Wait...

What is she doin' here?

What the hell, Connie?
What are you doin'?

Hey, 'Tima.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to talk to you.

So, you just show up to my job
like you know me?

No, I don't know you,

but I still need to ask you
somethin'.

What is it, Connie?

It has to do with Zac's mom
and Jeremiah.

What about them?

Fatima, you know the type of
chick I am.

I don't know nothin' about
the law,

and I need your help.

[tense music]

Come on into my office.

[Connie] Thank you.

Angela, I'll call you.

You sure?

-Yeah.
-[Angela] Damn.

Oh, [indistinct]

I'm comin'.

Hey, don't do that.
Just be quiet.

[funky music]

This is very elite.

Girl, what?

Sorry!

Ooh!
Okay!

Yes.

Official.

This is elite.

You a paralegal?

You went to law school.

Alright, tough room!

Connie, what is it?

Well, the problem that I'm
having involves Zac.

Okay, well, that I can talk to
you about.

Not for nothin',
the first time I saw you,

I was not feelin'
your whole style.

You had a very stank attitude,
and I knew you was judgin' me.

And I was like, "Why she lookin'
over here at me?"

Connie...

What's up?
Get to it.

Alright.

But you know what?
This is the thing.

Oh my God.

[Connie] When Zac look at you,

he never looked at anybody like
that before,

and Ms. Gladys told me

he ain't never look at Karen
like that, either.

Right, right, I know all that.

So, we just, like,
never gonna be cool?

Ever?

Cool?

[Connie] Yeah.

Why would we be cool?

Because we both care and love
Zac,

and we want what's best for him,
right?

Yeah, we do.

And I'm what's best for Zac,
so that's that.

Heard you.

Alright, let me get to it.

-[Fatima] Please.
-This is why I'm here.

Go ahead, open it.

[contemplative music]

-Wait...
-[Connie] Mm-hm.

Ms. Gladys had
an insurance policy?

$25,000.

So, she wants me...

Well, she wanted me to divide
the money between

Zac and Jeremiah.

But I don't really wanna do all
that,

so that's why I'm here.

For what?

I wanna sign it over to you so
that you can divvy up the money.

'Cause you know she don't want
Jeremiah to get

all the money at once,

'cause you know Jeremiah will be
in the street actin' crazy.

Yeah, he would definitely
overdose with this.

Right.

And with all the Fentanyl and
all the crazy stuff out there,

you just don't know what's gonna
happen.

So, can I just sign that over to
you and you figure it out?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
Connie, what?

No!

[Connie] Why?

'Cause I don't know what I'm
doin'.

Connie, listen, um...

Zac is payin' for this funeral,

and it's gonna cost a lotta
money.

I don't even know there's
gonna be any money left.

Well, I mean, how much is it
gonna cost?

Funerals are expensive.

Well, like, 15 hundred dollars?

No.

Like, $20,000.

-Ooh...
-[Fatima] And more, yes.

That's why you
the perfect lady to handle this.

You got a office, you fancy,
all of that.

You do it, 'cause I don't want
no parts of it.

Connie, no, no.
I can't, no.

Think about it.

Zac loves you.
Jeremiah like you.

The family love you,
so just handle it.

I don't know what I'm doin'
anyway.

I don't know the law.

Ain't you a paralegal?

Alright, you know what?

I'll talk to Zac, okay?

[Connie] Thank you so much.

Okay, if you don't mind,
my boss is comin'.

I have a meeting to go to, so...

You can go ahead and see your
way out

the way you saw your way in.

I thought you was the boss.

You wouldn't know what a boss
is.

-Okay.
-[Fatima] Bye, Connie.

Bye, friend.

[upbeat music]

[Connie] Hey, girl.

Girl.

Girl...

What was that?

Let's go get some coffee,
I'll tell you about it.

What did she want?

Girl, it's too early.
Let me get coffee, first.

Was it about Zac?
Like, is he okay?

Yeah, he's fine.

[Angela] okay.

That was crazy.

[Fatima] Girl, it's too early
for all that.

She hit me in my mouth
with some hair [indistinct].

[laidback R&B music]

So, this is everything.

See the name at the top?
Zachary Taylor.

Nothin' crazy.

Okay.

Somethin' light.

[Bryce] Hey.

Hey.

How, how, how's, uh,
how's it goin'?

What do you mean,
"How's it goin'"?

I'm sorry, man, I don't know
what to say in times like this.

I'm just...

I, I do.

Oh good, um, maybe you could
help me.

Oh yeah, yeah,
when you can tell me

when your father sent the money.

-Yeah, yeah.
-[Zac] Yeah.

It's supposed to be here today.

What time?

I don't know, I can call him
and find out.

Yeah, you can do that.

Okay.

Um...

Hi.

-No...
-I'm Preston.

Bryce, nice to meet you.

I'm Zac's partner.

Business partner.
He's my business partner.

Yeah, um, business partner.

But I don't know for how long,
though,

'cause there's no money.

Right, so, if there's no money,
there's no business.

Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'll call him,
okay?

Yeah, call him.
Yup, from your office.

Wow.

What?

You weren't really nice to that
guy, were you?

[wacky music]

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Was that the guy?

The guy?

You know, the co--

Who tried to kiss you.

Oh, ah, ha!

Um, wow, that's a choice,
nice, "guy who kissed you".

I told you pause that earlier.

You, you said you wanted to
hang out, right?

We hangin' out, can we not
bring that up?

-Okay, alright, fine, fine.
-[Zac] Like, ever again.

We got over that.
Like, we, we over that.

Alright, you know what?
This is a nice office.

Yes, very nice office.

I, I know it is.

Thinkin' about doin'
my own thing.

How is this whole
real estate thing?

I mean, it was good.

'Til he did some dumb sh*t

and invested our money in

a property we can't afford,
so...

Are you not in a good place?

Between my mother and him,
it's a lot.

Hey, well, look, if you ever
need to borrow some money...

-No, I'm serious.
-Preston...

I'm tryin' to help out.

I got it, I got it.

I've been, I've been meanin' to
ask you, like...

You drive that old, like,
raggedy-lookin' truck,

-and you got...
-Okay.

These rundown cowboy boots,

you expect me to think you got
money?

Zac, I do okay.

What does that mean?

It means exactly what I said.

You milk cows.

You milk, yeah, you milk cows,
and you wrangle horses.

There can't be no money in that.

Look, no, you're right,
there's not a lot.

So, how much?

We are not talkin' about that,
okay?

You, it's not a secret!

Yeah.

Fine, don't come to my office,
though.

We can't talk about you, right?

No, that's fine, that's okay,
fine.

sh**t.

[motivating music]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

What's up?
It's Connie.

Twice in one day.

I just wanted to let you know
that Jeremiah found out.

Okay?

[Connie] The insurance company
notified him,

and now he is definitely on one.

-Okay, well...
-[Connie] And I might've...

You may have what, Connie?

Look, I might've said that you
and Zac was handlin' it,

and that's on that.

That n*gga be actin' crazy.

-[Fatima] Connie, what?!
-What?

[Fatima] Zac has enough goin'
on.

[Connie] I know he do,

but I don't want him out here
tryin' to hurt me and my kids.

I got other people to think
about.

Wait, you think Jeremiah would
try to hurt you?

No, Jeremiah is a good dude.

I'm just sayin' when he be on
that sh*t,

he actin' wild.

Alright.

Look, Fatima, I'm sorry.

[Fatima] No need to explain
yourself.

It's fine.

[Connie] Okay.

Alright, I gotta go.

It's always somethin'.

So, so...

So, that's how much
the casket costs?

One casket?!

I...
Okay.

She don't need satin on
the inside!

She ain't...
My mother...

Alright, alright, I'mma,
I'll have to call you back.

I'll call you back.

Satin in the...
I don't...

Bryce.

Yeah?

What the f*ck, bro?

What?

Where's the money?

Um, my dad said that
he's working on it.

Okay, okay.

He said that he thought he could
do it, but, but um...

Bryce, what are you sayin' to me
right now?

I'm, I'm sorry, Zac.

You...

I told you not to invest in
that property,

and you did it anyway!

I know, I know, but I thought it
was...

-I know you know!
-It's a great deal, Zac.

It doesn't matter!
It, it...

It doesn't matter if
it's a great deal

if we can't afford it.

Now I can't afford to
bury my mother.

I promise, I'm gonna get it.

Promise.

You promised me your father
had it.

Well, I mean, he said that
he's thinking it over now.

This is...

Zac, I'm sorry.

You think, you're sorry?

What am I supposed to do
with the sorry?

What, what am I supposed to do
with that?

How much do you need?

Preston, this is real money.

Zac, tell me how much you need.

You, you, you don't listen.
You don't.

-Fine, fine, fine.
-[Zac] And you, you?!

We f*ck' done.

This whole thing, all this,
rise, venture,

it's f*ck' done.

Can't nothin' rise from
the sh*t you did.

The only person who can rise
from what you did is Jesus,

and we don't have three days!

Give me my f*ck' money, Bryce!

I'm doing everything I can, Zac!

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
-I'm doing everything I can!

Get out of my face!

-Alright, alright.
-Bryce, you...

You, he's raisin' his voice.

Listen, you know what I'm gonna
do?!

I'm gonna go talk to my dad!
I'm gonna go see him!

I'm gonna fix this!

-Okay, okay.
-I'm sorry, Zac!

It'll be fine, only thing is
I really don't think

you should be sayin' 'Jesus'
and 'f*ck' in the same sentence.

That's just my personal opinion.

I'm, I feel like I'm gettin'
f*cked right now.

Okay?
I do.

I feel like I'm gettin' f*cked
over.

Alright?
Pause, but I'm over it.

-Yeah.
-I'm just, nobody talk to me.

This is where Dr. Reid,
I need to breathe and count.

Three.

Four...

Should I be counting?

Shh, I'm--Mm-mm.
Five...

[somber music]

Fatima.

Damn, did she tell you where
I work?

I heard you say it before.

What do you want, Jeremiah?

I just wanna talk to you.

Alright, well, come to
the house,

and me, you, and Zac,
we can all talk.

No, Zac ain't gonna talk to me
right.

Jeremiah, I'm sorry,

that's the only way
it's gonna happen.

-Okay?
-Oh, Fatima!

Jeremiah, you are high.

Look, I don't like this.
I'm not doin' this.

No, I'm not.
I'm not.

Jeremiah.

[indistinct] nobody.
You got the money?

What money?
No.

The money from the insurance.

No, I do not.

But Connie told me you had
the money,

and you was gonna pay for
my, my mama's funeral!

Well, I don't know why
she told you that.

Well, she did!

-Look there is...
-No, there is money!

And it's mines!

Look, I am sorry,
I cannot help you.

Man, man...

[inaudible]

Jeremiah, no.
I'm not doin' that.

Give me the f*ck' money,
Fatima!

-I'm not doin' it!
-Give me the f*ck' money!

[Fatima] I'm not giving you any
money, no!

[Jeremiah] Don't f*ck with me!
Give me the money!

I told you don't f*ck with me!
