03x18 - 99 Problems and an Ex is One

[bunniefuu]

This'll is the first time I'm-a be
able to see Nikki in the free world.

Ah!
SHE LAUGHS

Nicolle and I are engaged.

I love you.

'There's a few things
that I haven't told Daonte.'

I mean, just trying
to have a little fun.

I have a boyfriend
and he's in prison.

Girl.

He's excited to meet you guys.

Well, I'm not ready to meet him.

Oh, really?
What's up with this person

that they gotta come to prison
to find a mate?

Raymond!

Where's he going?

Are they bringing him back?

Doug is not the first convict
that I've ever been with.

I got four Bs.
- Four Bs.

- He wants boobies.
- Boobies.

Non-alcoholic booze, baloney,

and BLEEP jobs.

'Even though Doug and I
have been married for months,'

we have not been together
in the outside world.

- Hey, baby.
- Ooh!

'It feels good.
I wanna get out of here.'

I wanna get back
to this hotel room

and finish her obligations
for my four Bs.

STAN: I met Lisa
on Seeking Arrangement.

When I saw a picture of Lisa,

I thought,
"That's a really pretty girl."

My approximate worth
is about $2.3 million.

Lisa's from a family of criminals,
actually.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

What's the matter? Come on.
Time to get back to Stan.

Is that somebody?

Is that her?
I can't tell who that is.

Lisa.

Hey, it's Lisa! Babydoll.

What are you doing
with that big old box?

Souvenirs?
- Yeah, hi.

How you doing? You look good.

LAUGHS,
KISSES

Let me get my mask off.
- You get that off.

All right.

Hi.
- Hi.

Yeah, you are.
KISSES

Always this cute, too.
- I am.

HE LAUGHS

- Oh, I missed you.
- Yeah.

Now, we gotta get in the car,
it's freezing.

- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah. Here, let me.

'I'm very, very happy
about the whole situation,'

and I hope she is, too.

Yeah, so I'm definitely excited
to not be around 2,000 women.

Even though I love 'em,
but, you know,

I'm ready to get away from 'em.

I'm very excited
that she's just around me.

HE LAUGHS

You're looking good.
You've worked out, I can tell.

Yeah, but, you know,
being in quarantine,

you still gain some weight.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Well, you look good.
- Well, thanks, baby.

I knew I was gonna get to this day
one day.

Oh, I don't know.
We'll worry about that later.

LAUGHS

STAN: I feel real good right now.

I'm glowing.

'She doesn't look
like she did before.

'Her hair is not blonde right now,
and it's not long.'

Her clothes
really don't fit very well,

but I'm very attracted
to her right now.

I mean, my hair doesn't look bad,
but... Oh, I gotta take a picture

and send it to my brother.
He's gonna BLEEP.

They've never seen me like this.

Oh, my God.

- Come here.
- OK.

I need some love. Mm.
- Yeah.

So do you. You need some loving.

I need some... A Jenny Craig diet.

'I have 15 felonies,'

so every time that
I was released from prison before,

I-I had ill motives, ill intentions,

ready to go get high, ready
to run amok. I had a death wish.

Being with Stan, I mean, that's
what's different for me this time.

I feel like Stan is kind of
like my spiritual soulmate.

He might be 65,
but in spirit, he's not.

He's perfect. He's adorable.

I gotta get my hair done.
I'm a mess.

STAN: Look at this.

Oh, wow.

See, now,
this pin goes in your head.

What the BLEEP do you mean?

You know, you're funny.

I don't know. Put it back there.
- OK.

I wonder what you'd look like
with brown hair, I thought.

Oh, no, I wouldn't wear that.

You wouldn't wear that for me?
- No.

- For sex?
- No, that's ugly.

You can wear it.
HE LAUGHS

I'm as old as nothing.

He's young at heart.
That's what he means.

I'm young at heart
and in good shape,

so, I mean, age is a number, right?

That's all. That's all.
- Yeah.

Big things happen in the bedroom.

HE LAUGHS

I figured you, like,
might like the stud look.

No, I prefer that long hair.

But they kind of liked it in there,
you know that?

Well, luckily, you're not in there.

'A couple of months before I went
to prison this last time,

when I met him, our first meeting
was... It was kind of wild.

I'd never encountered
anybody like him.

Let's just say he's...

He's wild when it comes
to his sexual desires.

I bet you did.

Ooh, baby.

Yep, I'm sure you still have
that stored away, right?

Yep.
LAUGHS

When we get home, I'm hoping...

..for some private time,
if you know what I mean,

alone time, intimate time.

Just her and me.

See what you do to me?
- What?

Oh, brother.
LAUGHS

STAN: Oh, sister.

LISA: Oh, my God.

HE LAUGHS

Oh! I don't know what they...
I don't know what he's doing.

What are they doing?

I'm anxious to see Ray
for the first time out of prison.

'Why are you putting him back
on this prison van?'

What is going on?

Now you're saying what?

They're taking him back
to the facility

because we're not supposed
to be here to pick him up.

He's supposed to be riding a bus.
MAN: OK.

This is where he supposed
to be leaving from.

This is the leaving spot.
All these technicalities, huh?

So I'm asking her,
could we go to the facility?

Yeah.
- And pick him up.

She don't know.

Mm, mm, mm.

I really wanna follow the bus
if we can.

We gotta follow him back
to the other place?

I'm just trying to not panic,
break down.

There's not time to fall out,
cry, or do anything.

How easy it is to get you locked up
and how hard before they let you go.

Mm-hm. We're not gonna follow
the wrong way.

Girl, you wanna get to that man.

Ooh!
- I do!

I'm so nervous.

Yeah, yes.
- We're trying to.

That might be him.

Yep, that's him.

Is he getting out for real?

Ah!

- There he is.
- Ray!

Ray.

I was scared.

No, we just stay in the car.

INDISTINCT SPEECH

Missed you.

It feel real good to touch her
without a guard

or something saying,
"Hey, no touching."

SHE GIGGLES

I'm speechless, really.

BRITNEY: Hm!

RAY: You know what I'm saying,
to be free, have my woman with me,

my family with me, it's a good day.

INDISTINCT CONVERSATION

I'm good. I'm glad to be out.

What you doing?

Trying to get you out of here, man.

I'm ready.
LAUGHS

I did three years,
ten months in federal prison.

Before prison,
I took my freedom for granted.

I took everything for granted.

My parents were separated
since I was two years old.

I grew up with my mother.

I was the first child.

Then when I was 11,
my mom was k*lled,

she was shot five times
in the chest

and left inside of a van
for dead, so...

that leaves you, like,

full of rage and anger.

To this day,
I still don't know who shot her,

why she was k*lled,
or nothing like that.

I could have handled it
in a different way.

Maybe if I knew why, you know,
then I'd be kinda in peace.

It brought out another side of me.

I ain't have no care in the world
for nothing, nobody.

I got sent to prison because
of burglaries to a pharmacy.

We would break in, steal pills,
and we would sell them.

And the other stuff
that didn't sell,

I would take, feeling like
they would help cope with the pain.

So yeah, I did.
And I got addicted real bad.

MAN: Sit him in the middle.

You can sit up here, baby.

BRITNEY: Just gotta go.
- Let's just go.

BRITNEY: We gotta go
to the halfway house.

Right now, I haven't even told
my family that Ray is out.

I feel that he shouldn't be judged
right away.

He should have time
to get on his feet and adjust.

And I also feel that
it does give me time as well.

It works best for me.

He gotta be there by 11:00?

It's 9:41.

BELL DINGS
Seatbelt.

You got all these damn rules.

Yeah, it's... it's called the law.

- Mm-hm.
- Mm-hm.

No return policy on me now, baby.

Try me.

Mm-hm.

It feels amazing to be with my wife
in the free world, it's surreal.

'I'm definitely looking forward
to being intimate with Rachel.

'I had sex the night
before I got locked up,'

and that was August 2015.

DOUG: We're about to go have sex.

Baby.

RACHEL: It feels amazing to be
with my husband in the free world.

It's just something
I've been waiting for

for the past year and a half,

and the only thing I can think
about is sex

and finishing the other Bs
and maybe making a B of our own,

I'm not really sure.

Our plan is to get
Rachel's clothes off of her,

get inside of her
as soon as possible,

because my parole agent said

that I gotta be home by 5:00.

Oh!
SHE LAUGHS

Mm.

'Doug is six-foot-five,
I am four-ten-and-a-half.'

I've never been or had sex
with anyone that's as tall as Doug.

However, I don't think
that we will let that be a barrier.

LAUGHS

I was BLEEP off

hours before I was going home
to have the stamina to keep up.

It's time for you guys to go.

SHE LAUGHS

What if you get here
and he doesn't show up this time?

There's been two times
that he hasn't shown up.

So what makes you think
he's gonna show up this time?

'It's a little nerve-racking'

meeting the parent of
the woman you love.

I don't know if she told you
we're engaged.

We're not BLEEP engaged.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

OK, so we see a pretty dress,
what kind are you looking for?

Something all... flowy and...

This is the last step,
be that little hottie for...

At least for a little while, huh?

Exactly!

So you don't have sexy in mind?

My first wedding dress
was like that.

Remember John from Taco Bell?

It fit everywhere,
and it was like...

I've pretty much been a cougar
my whole entire life.

I was married for ten years.
I was 29 and he was 19.

My ex-husband
was a kind, good man,

but mostly, he was young and hot.

He bought me
a $9,000 engagement ring.

- Dang, girl.
- Yep.

So we're going from $9,000 ring...

Yeah. To a broke, broke, broke boy.

And you remember
what you just said there - "boy".

Because he might be 40 years old,
he's still a little kid.

'My ex-husband was a sweet guy,'

but eventually
I got bored with that.

I usually go for somebody

that has
a little bit more edge to them.

So I went on a penpal website

and I came across this gorgeous man.

- He went in for drugs, right?
- Right.

And then he got out
and he went back in for g*ns.

Yep.

You just gotta give him a chance.
- I'll give him a chance.

But, you know,
I'm not gonna be quiet.

LAUGHS

I wrote Jeff a letter 11 years ago
on Valentine's Day

and we just had so much in common,
it was kind of unreal.

He was so handsome,
he was so cut up,

and covered in tattoos.

- Hello.
- Hi, how are you?

He is my dream guy.

First of all, you have to tell me,
how did you guys get engaged?

He is in prison...

Oh!

..and he asked me over the phone.

- OK, fine, fine, fine, fine, OK.
- Yeah.

I've waited 11 years
to marry Jeff...

So you just let me know when you're
ready to be zipped and clipped.

..and I wanna get married
pretty soon after he gets released.

HUM A FANFARE

- Oh, wow, that looks pretty.
- That one's gorgeous.

So what do you think, Anissa?

I like the V-neck. I don't like
the material of this one.

I do wish I had met Jeff
under different circumstances.

I wish that we would have met
when we were young

and could have lived
a whole life together, you know?

I mean, we've known each other


That's a lifetime. That's more
than most people stay married.

Oh, my gosh, that is gorgeous.

That's the one.

You think he'll like it?

Oh, yeah.

- He better, right?
- He better.

So have you told Jeff
that we're shopping?

I haven't got to talk to him.

So what if you get here
and he doesn't show up this time?

Wait, is he not...

Were you guys going to get married
before and he didn't show up...

Like, what's the situation?
- Yeah, yeah.

There's been two times
that he hasn't shown up.

So what makes you think
he's gonna show up this time?

Good question there, Miss Haley.

He's gonna show up.

So she's very trusting
and way too sweet.

'The first two times
Jeff was released,

'he told me he would
come to the house'

and he just never arrived.

'He just... broke my heart.'

But I know that he regrets it now.

That just blows my mind.

That I have that much faith
in him?

- That you have that much...
- Yeah.

That's crazy.

Like, I'm not calling you crazy.
- Yeah.

- I'm just saying that's crazy.
- It's OK.

Maybe a little bit you're crazy,
too. It's OK.

So I think you have one other
that you pulled.

- OK.
- Do you wanna even try it on

or do you feel like this is just...
- This is the dress.

PENNY: There is definitely something
fishy about this relationship.

I'm not even convinced he's real.

He still might be nervous
about all this wedding thing.

- I know.
- Once again,

if he does not show up.

He's going to show up.

'I can't imagine what my life
would be like without him.'

I've spent all this time
and money.

He will come home to me this time.

- How much longer, Mom?
- How blonde do you want it to be?

- Barbie blonde.
- Of course.

You seriously weren't kidding
about wanting to do this ASAP,

little girl.

Um, you gotta look good
to feel good, Mom.

You look good, I made you good.

SIGHS

We haven't gotten to talk very much
since you were so tired yesterday.

How are you feeling?

I feel good, like,
no anxiety at all.

I mean, a little bit, but...
Oh, gosh.

How are you feeling
with me and Jill being married?

When I got locked up,
my mom was married to a man.

Now, since I've been locked up,

she done got divorced
and married to a woman.

I don't know, like,
that was your best friend,

so, she was like an aunt to me
and now she's, like, my mom, so...

But I'm happy for you.
If you're happy, then I'm happy.

Well, I mean, sometimes marrying
your best friend is a good idea.

So, er, dropped Nicolle off
at her mom's house yesterday.

I was hoping, you know,
she would spend some time

with her mom a little bit,
then she would come over

and I could show her
what I did for her.

Didn't quite work out that way,

but she agreed to, you know,
come by today,

so I'm on my way right now
to go pick her up

and, you know, hopefully,

we can, you know,
spend our first night together.

How are you feeling about Daonte?

Um...

I don't know, like,

I feel very comfortable around him,

but I just can't help
but think about,

like, other people,
like my exes and stuff,

so... it's not a good sign.
- Anyone in particular?

Um...

my ex Zach that I was with
before I got locked up,

I was texting him last night.

The way that things ended
between Zach and I

were, like, beyond our control.

Neither of us wanted
to end the relationship.

It was basically, like, we had to

because I had four BLEEP years
to do.

And honestly, I feel like
we have some unfinished business

to take care of.

I understand that you're not sure,

but I feel like you should
probably be a little more honest.

Don't be taking advantage of him.
- Like, I'm trying, you know?

- I get it. I'm just saying...
- I do love him.

..honesty is always the best option.

I don't know a whole lot
about Daonte,

but I think Nicolle's
very much about things

and not about relationships.

Um... And I think that is
where the problem began.

What's your plan going forward?

Like, where's your life going?
- I mean, I don't know.

I'm just gonna let Daonte
take care of me for a little bit.

CHRISTA: I hope
that Nicolle stays out of prison.

But I also hold on to the reality

that it doesn't take much for her
to slide back to where she was.

DAONTE: Kinda scary, man.

- I'm just...
- Hello?

Oh, hey, come in.

- OK.
- This is Daonte.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- How are you, sir?
- I'm fine. How are you?

- Fine. You look a little scared.
- Er, yeah.

I am nervous as all hell.

- Have a seat.
- We can get to know each other.

Oh, God!

What are you "oh, God"-ing
about over there, little girl?

- Nothing.
- I haven't done anything!

He's the one that's terrified.

She's got that mom/teacher stare

where she stares into your eyes

and she's got her glasses down
and she's glancing at you

and you just...
You don't wanna embarrass yourself.

I'm not trying to be rude,
but I have to rinse this out

before my hair falls out,
so y'all have fun.

Don't talk about me.

Well, first off,
I know it's kind of weird

how I... how I met Nicolle.

Who goes online and looks
for prisoners for love, right?

I just wanna make sure that
she's just not, like,

your little arm candy, and,
you know, you're walking around

cos you got a hot a*s girl.

It's nothing like that, honestly.

I love Nicolle, and I don't know
if she told you, but...

we're... we're engaged.

Oh, God, she didn't tell you.

Y'all are engaged?

Yeah.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

So my son told me blatantly
that he needed his mom right now.

That's a big deal.
- Get rid of him.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

You're gonna tell me
that y'all are engaged?

Yeah. Don't k*ll me.

I kind of proposed to her
and she said yes, so we're engaged.

And I just...
I'm weak for women that I love,

and I love her.

How many women?

- Just Nicolle.
- Oh, you said "women."

Are you talking to anybody else?

No. Actually,

I have something that has
prevented me from wanting to,

you know, venture out, and...
do other things.

I bought myself a toy.

OK.

I kind of named it Nicolle Junior.

That's a little weird.

Like, come on.

Yeah, I guess so.

It's a little nerve-racking meeting
the parent of the woman you love.

I'll be keeping my eye on you,
you just remember.

OK.

But I think she likes me, like,

I was real honest, open with her.

I thought it was good.

You didn't tell me you were engaged.

We're not BLEEP engaged.

HE SIGHS

OK.

When I was in prison,

I asked Daonte to bring me,
like, a little ring,

like, something stupid like this,
like, a little cheap a*s ring,

and, you know,
he snuck that into visitation.

So I'm walking around with a ring
that nobody has, that's cool,

but he definitely took it
the wrong way.

Why the BLEEP did you tell my mom
that we were engaged?

Aren't we engaged?

NICOLLE: I have never spent time
with Daonte in the outside world.

I feel like we need
to get to know each other

before we can just hop into
a BLEEP relationship that heavy.

When I gave you the ring,
my exact words was,

"I guess you might as well
marry me now."

And you said, "Yeah," so...

OK, and then the conversations...

the conversations after that
that we've had,

I told you that I want somebody
to get down on one knee

and propose to me
and come with the best.

I'm not engaged until
I get the ring that I want.

I know now.

BOTH SIGH

Yesterday, she was all sweet,
holding my hand, everything.

And from the time I dropped her off
yesterday to today,

it's like a complete change.

I'm feeling like the love I'm giving
ain't being reciprocated.

But I think it might have
a lot to do with her

feeling a little overwhelmed.

So, hopefully when she come over
and see what I did for her,

hopefully it'll change things.

I can't deal with
no more heartbreak.

But I can't let her go.

WATER RUNNING

TOOTHBRUSH WHIRRING

I'm gonna use my man's deodorant.

I sweat like a man.

Yeah, I smell like b*tch.

How are you supposed to properly
put on cologne?

Walking through it
or is that how girls do it?

- I just put it all over my body.
- Oh.

I got out of prison this morning
and so far it feels like a dream.

I like my clothes, too, baby,
thanks.

'Me and Rachel had a lot of talk'

during my incarceration
of things we would like to do.

Let's go.

And be able to bend her over
that bed

and give her the things that we've
talked about so long, doggy style.

It was... It was great.

Beautiful boobs, good BLEEP job.

- Um...
- I had fun. I enjoyed it.

- I enjoyed it, too.
- Thank you.

Having sex with Doug was everything
that I imagined and more.

It was amazing.
It was long overdue.

Doug is six-foot-five,

but the shoe fits, we're good.

So, we're headed straight home,
we're gonna stop and get gas and...

I mean, we really gotta
get back down state.

Yeah, we can't violate
our first day.

No, we can't. We can't do that.
We're gotta... Listen to you.

You sound like such a team player.
I love it.

'My parole agent, she tells me,
"I need you in at 5:00." '

No weekends.
Can't drive without permission.



but at the end of day,
I mean, it is what it is.

I have it pretty good,
some people can't leave at all.

And then plenty are still in prison.

Oh.
- Seatbelt.

Oh.
BLOWS RASPBERRIES

Whatever you say, you're the boss.

- What's that?
- Whatever you say, you're the boss.

- Little louder.
- Whatever you say, you're the boss.

- I'm the boss?
- For now.

DOUG: Oh, baby, we've got
a long drive ahead of us.

Yeah, you're telling me.

My baby used to come visit me
and make this trip

and sit ten hours
in the visiting room with me.

Mm-hm.

BLEEP, yeah, baby.

Mm, would you do it for me?

Yeah, I'd do anything for you,
but I would probably b*tch about it.

'Before Rachel, I've not had
any serious relationships.'

I juggled a few women at one time,

I could never find
just the one that met my needs.

I don't like that one.

Oh, no, you're gonna be one of them.

But once you find the one
that can keep your attention

and you want her as much
as she wants you,

I knew I didn't need nobody else.

Rachel is who I'm going to be
with for the rest of my life.

Dougie's coming home
from my mom's tomorrow.

Are you looking forward
to lots of quality time?

Yeah.

Comes with, you know, just
every day interaction, you know?

'Dougie was about a year...
year and a half old

'when I got locked up.'

I did six years,
got out when Dougie was seven.

Me and Dougie
spent 40 days together.

I got locked up again
and did another five years.

I've missed out
on a lot of his childhood.

LAUGHS

Ain't this just nuts?

- What?
- This neighbourhood.

What are you talking about?

Neighbourhood I come from
ain't nothing like this.

We barely... I don't even think...
We don't have sidewalks.

These guys got sidewalks,

all the houses look the same,
flowers hanging up.

RACHEL: This is home, babe.

CHUCKLES

'Rachel's house is a better house
than I've ever lived in.'

A guy like me, the only reason

I ever had being in a house
like this

is cos I'm here to steal something.

- Home sweet home.
- Yes, we are.

'It's great. It's a great feeling
that, you know, this is yours.'

You know, I'm the man of the house.
This is it.

EXHALES

Which room's ours?

SHE LAUGHS

What, do you got your mattress pad
on here?

- Yeah.
- It's nice and soft.

It is soft. My back... I'm old.

Does it make any noises?

Yeah, I think it does.
I don't know.

When's the last time
you had any action on this?

It's been a minute.

Oh, I don't know, like, last week?

HE LAUGHS

This is not the first time
that someone's paroled to my home.

My ex-husband prior to Doug
paroled to my house.

But this relationship is nowhere
near a repeat of my last marriage.

Granted,
they've got the same credentials.

But as a person, this is different.

What are we gonna watch?
ID? Golden Girls?

Mm-hm!
Little House On The Prairie.

No.

Being with Doug is probably the
happiest relationship I've been in.

I don't think I've ever been...
I know I've never been this happy.

Like, everything just feels
right for once.

It's been a good day.

Hm. Want a baloney sandwich?
I know you've been wanting one.

Hurry back.
You might miss something.

There is no BLEEP about this.

If I BLEEP this up,
I'm a complete moron.

I would never get this back.

Dougie's never lived this good
ever in his life.

And you know where we came from,

you know what we can easily go back
to.

Rachel's tired of my BLEEP,
guess what?

Me and you are out of here
and guess where we're heading?

We're heading back to Kazoo
and we're heading back to

junk picking Saturdays
for gas money Sunday.

I ain't going nowhere.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

All this time
you've been talking to him,

he's never called
when I've been around.

I don't know that he's real.
- He's not imaginary, I promise.

I've gotta show you something, OK?

What is it? Are you crazy?

This is about the damn
dumbest thing you've ever done.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

Some people get the whole full doll,
some people get the blow up doll,

I ain't need all that.

Behold, Nicolle Junior.

Nicolle cannot stand Nicolle Junior.

She thinks that it's crazy
and it's weird,

but if you're gonna name
your sex toy,

name it after your girl.

Want to know how it works?

Simple, take it out of the box.

You lube that mug up,

lotion, whatever you wanna use,
get a little freaky.

Make it make it seem like,
you know, it's your actual girl.

'If a woman can have a vibrator,'

what's wrong with her brother
having a toy?

She don't get tired. She don't say,
"I don't feel like it."

She don't say,
"I'm not in the mood."

Whenever you want it, she's there.

You can have sex with this just like
a regular person if you want to.

So, brothers, fellas,
anybody out there,

you don't wanna cheat on your woman,
get yourself a toy.

Don't knock it till you try it.

KNOCK ON DOOR

- Hey.
- Come in. Hey. What are you doing?

Seeing what you're into.

I was gonna make some cornbread.

How are you feeling?

Oh, I got butterflies
as big as buzzards.

LAUGHS

Jeff gets out of prison tomorrow.

I have waited for this moment 11
years and I just can't believe it.

I can't wait to see him.

The perfect reunion would be
he gives me a big hug,

a big kiss, wraps his arms
around me, holds me tight,

and tells me how much he loves me.

Has he called you and told you
how excited he is or...

I haven't talked to him
in a few days,

but the last time I talked to him,
yeah, he was very excited.

He can't wait to get here.

But he's getting out
and he hasn't called you?

Yeah, but I mean,
he's not got access to a phone.

I do love Anissa and care about her,

'but I'm not happy
about this whole situation.

'You know, her bringing him home

'after the heartbreak
he's put her through.

'I mean, the other two times
he was supposed to show up,

'he never showed up.'

Anissa, you know, I mean,
it honestly seems a lot crazy

that all this time
you've been talking to him,

but he's never called
when I've been around.

And I mean, I've been around a lot,
you know.

I don't know he's real, you know.
- I know.

I mean, has anybody
been around when he's called?

I think Penny may have been here
once when he called.

So it's not a make-believe
boyfriend or nothing like that?

No, he's not imaginary, I promise.

I've gotta show you something, OK?

- I'll be right here.
- Just stay calm.

Jeff is not a catfish.
He really is real.

But Jeff was in solitary,

so he's only allowed
a phone call once a week.

So that's the reason

that I don't get to talk to him
as often as I should.

- What the hell is that?
- It's a wedding dress.

- Are you crazy?
- Look at it.

No, I'm not crazy.

Look at, it's beautiful.
- When are you getting married?

It might be beautiful,
but are you crazy?

- No, I'm not crazy.
- When are you getting married?

I wanna marry him right away.

It's not a good idea, Anissa.

You know, she hasn't seen
this guy in ten years or whatever,

and she's got a wedding dress
and this guy's still in prison.

'She's lost her damn mind.'

What makes her think that
this time everything with Jeff

is gonna be different
when he gets out of prison?

I mean, he can act like
somebody then change

the day y'all get married
and then take half...

and then take half of everything...
- You could do that, too,

Kyle, and I've known you forever.

I mean, I've still got
to give him a chance.

Anissa, you know, I mean, we've
always been honest with each other.

This is about the damn dumbest thing
you've ever done.

Kyle, I don't feel dumb doing this.

I feel like
it's the right thing to do.

I love him. I wanna marry him.

I've got Kyle in one corner telling
me that he's not gonna show up.

I've got Penny in the other corner
telling me he's not gonna show up,

but I'm just not gonna believe it.

I'm gonna believe that
he's going to show up this time.

OK, well, all I can tell you
is good luck.

All right.

I really think it's all in her head.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

RAY: I'm on my way
to the halfway house.

If we don't make it
to the halfway house on time,

Ray can automatically
be sent back to prison.

These people are about to
take me back.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

RAY: Hello, I'm on the way
to the halfway house.

I was supposed to be
on the bus at 8:30 this morning,

but the bus did not come.

I'm with my family right now.
We're on our way to Houston.

'Since this morning was messed up,'

and now we racing the clock
trying to get to the halfway house.

INDISTINCT SPEECH

I'm just... I'm glad to be
out of there, you know?

- I know.
- It's crazy.

I was trying to go to sleep

and all I could think about was,
"I'm gonna be out."

I'd get a funny feeling
in my stomach.

Yeah.

Him being close to me
just brings me so much happiness.

If we don't make it
to the halfway house on time,

Ray can automatically have
a violation

and be sent back to Beaumont
to prison.

What did you think when they put
you back in a van,

like, what the...

I was like,
"These people about to take me back

"and tell me I can't go today."

Yes.

I wish I had some alone time
with Britney,

but my family wanted to be there.

I'm here.

Eventually we'll get the time
to spend together by ourself.

SHE LAUGHS

- It's right here.
- It's right here?

Yeah. Right here.

All right, I'll see y'all.

BRITNEY: OK.

- Bye.
- OK, bye.

It's very hard to just,
you know, hug him and say bye.

There's a lot at stake here.

I want us to have children,
at least two back to back,

and just be happily ever after.

Yeah.

RAY: It's hard, we waited so long
for this day, and...

felt like
I'm basically being locked up again.

OK, love you!

- I love you.
- Bye-bye.

- I gotta drop 30 pounds.
- Oh, you do not.

No, I am.

Well, I can't tell how you look
with all the fat clothes on,

big clothes.

Wait till you see the muscle
I've got.

- What? Whatever.
- Oh, you wait and see.

THEY LAUGH

STAN: Well, I'm sure glad
to see you.

Are you warm enough, hun?
- Yeah.

BLEEP so damn cold out there.

Well, you know what
I'll get you for Christmas?

- What?
- A heating blanket.

Yeah, that's not bad.

Just get out of prison, obviously,

Stan and I over the phone,

we have an emotional connection,
not so much yet in the free world.

When are you gonna
let me drive the car?

- Soon as you give me a hug, maybe.
- OK. I can't...

Well, you know, I have...
- Your hug sucks.

We'll make up for it later.
- Yeah.

'Before I went to prison,
I met him two or three times.'

We had a good time.

Do you just have
that one straitjacket?

I thought you told me
you had a white one, too.

No.

You'll never find one
any colour but black.

I don't know, I thought I put
your a*s in a pink one.

No!

One time I went over to his house
and he proceeded to take me down

in the basement
where he's got, you know,

this little room set up.

And I mean, so, yeah, when I walked
in, this is what I found.

A straitjacket
hanging from the rafters.

It's been a while since
you've been in there, huh?

It has been.

One thing that I find sexy
about Stan,

he has an open mind and pretty much
lets me do what I wanna do.

So this is real hair, huh?

Yeah, I think the hair is beautiful.

Yeah.

You're gonna learn
how to put one of these on.

You gonna let me dress you up.
- You really like that.

You know I like women.

Well, you better like one man.

'I'm attracted to women.'

I probably wouldn't be with
another man if it wasn't for Stan.

I was married at a young age,


who beat me all the time.

And then I left him
and he took a bottle of pills

and k*lled himself.

I got remarried about a year later.
I'm still married to him.

I thought I was divorced, I'm not.

The third guy that I was married to,

it's all bad, so
I'm not gonna comment on it.

Do I see myself marrying Stan?

I... At this point,

I have to get divorced from
the two guys that I'm married to.

Other than that,
anything's possible.

Yeah, babe.

That's the Lisa I remember.

RINGING

Here's my kid.

Hello?

What's wrong?

I know you're upset right now,
you're crying, so tell me why.

You're not alone.

I'm not going anywhere, so I know
that I was gone for a long time,

so I'm out now,

so when you're feeling
like that, so, you know,

you just gotta call me.

'I have three kids.
My oldest son, he's 22,'

and my relationship with him
is not good.

I wasn't there in a lot of ways,
and he blames me for the anger

that he carries,
for everything in his life.

It is my fault.

Listen, so I need to talk to you
in person about this,

so this is not a phone conversation
for this phone.

We'll figure it out.

All right. Love you, too.

All right, bye.

You all right?

He told me that he's in a bad place

and he doesn't feel like
that he has anybody

and nobody cares about him.

Yeah.

You're just getting into
the best part of your life now

if you just can break away
from all those problems.

What do you mean by break away?
I don't know what you mean.

Salve 'em, cure 'em,
and get rid of 'em.

OK, well, you're totally clueless.

What exactly am I missing anyway?

So my son, my 22-year-old son,

told me blatantly that
he needed his mom right now.

That's a big deal.
- Of course it's a big deal.

I'm not talking about him.

'With all the anticipation'

and anxiety of meeting
and getting back together,

Lisa has to deal with this now,
and now she's more focused,

it appears,
on her family situation.

When you walk out of here,
it's not all peaches and cream

and everything's just great.

If you had no kids and no relatives,
it would be great.

DOUG: What's up, son?

I get a hug,
I don't get a punch.

BRITNEY: I'm gonna go over there
and find out what's going on.

Why is she here when I'm supposed
to be the one to pick you up?

How long has it been
since you had sex?

About a week ago.
GASPS

- Give me a kiss.
- What?

Lisa's not as affectionate
as I'd hoped she'd be.

I'm annoyed. BLEEP this.
