01x04 - New Stories

[bunniefuu]

- I'm not into guys.

- Then why am I here?
- Previously on "sistas"...

I was hoping that
you could help me

with your girl Sabrina.
Fine.

You better be lucky you're cute.

The man I saw was not
getting a divorce.

I know he's getting a divorce.

All I'm saying is don't
get your hopes up, ok?

I am fine.

Will you marry me?

Take that ring...

And leave.

I'm not gonna go
through with the divorce.

That man loves me.

He also gave me this new ring.

Heh heh heh.

That's beautiful.

Thank you.
That's what I thought, too.

Heh heh heh.

Uh, it's crazy that I thought
that he checked out.

Mmm.

Heh. I'm sorry to have
wasted your time.

No, you didn't waste my time.

Well, that's kind of
you to say that.

I meant it.

I'm sure the bill
will say otherwise.

Sorry.
No, no.

This is a good day. Ohh.

I know this is disappointing
for you.

No. No, not at all.

I'm happy for you.

Are you married?

No.

Well, when you get
married, and I'm sure you will,

you'll see that once you have
invested

in building a life with a man,

you'll take so much sh*t

to try and hold onto
what you built.

I understand.

Thank you.

I hope I never have to
see you again, no offense.

I get it.

Yeah.

You have a great day.

You do the same.

Thanks.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

Hey.

Andi?

Karen.
Girl, you at work?

Yeah.

Ok, look, I'm gonna
finish up this client,

then I'm coming right over, ok?

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 ♪

Andi.

My office.

Yes, sir.

Close the door.

So what happened?

She said she didn't want
to go through

with the divorce.

And you're sure you didn't
have anything to do with that?

No, sir.

You sure?

Sir, I did not persuade
her one way or the other.

Well, you should have.

I'm sorry, am I missing
something?

No. You know what
this place is.

Yes, but I didn't think

we were in the business
of ending marriages.

We're in the business
of making money,

so keep that at the front
of your mind.

Yes, sir.

You know, I've been
thinking about your conflict.

I think that you should take
the rest of the day off.

Are you firing me, sir?

Andi, I'm protecting you.

You've obviously been crying.

I'm fine.
No, you're not.

I have a lot riding on you,
and I don't want you to ruin it

'cause of your personal matters.

But, sir, I can still do...

You don't get it.
You're being watched here daily.

I feel that.

Go home.
I'll tell the partners

you're in a meeting with
potential clients.

Yes, sir.

Karen's hair mastery.

Hey, may I speak to Karen?

This is she.
It's Aaron.

Aaron who?
Aaron.

Your ice cream buddy.

Oh, hey.

Did I catch you at a bad time?

I mean, I'm at work.

Sorry. I wanted to take a
chance and call you.

Ok, well?
You haven't called me.

It hasn't even been 24 hours.

I know, but I really want
to take you out to dinner

and apologize for my actions.

Well, look, I, um...

Come on, don't say no.
Just...

Look, I know this really
great place that just opened up.

It's called ransom.

Oh, I've actually been
wanting to check that place out.

Well.
Look, Aaron, you know,

I just really don't think it's...

I think you should say yes.

Tonight. 8:00.

Ok.
Awesome.

What's your address?
I'll pick you up.

No, I'll meet you over there.

Ok. See you at 8:00.

See you at 8:00.

And wear some comfortable shoes.

I hear there's dancing.

Ok.
Great.

See you tonight.

See you tonight.

And that is the left,
and when you put that line in,

you have to raise that one
and highlight it in yellow.

But when you put the
passenger's...

Zac. Zac.
Cart coming through.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Thank you so much.

Cart coming through,
cart coming through.

Hey, I'll be right back, ok?

Man: Thanks.
Mm-hmm.

Hi.

Hi.
How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

You are so chipper.

I try to be.
Can I help you with something?

You can give me
some of what you on.

Heh. Excuse me?

Nothing. You're just
always this sunny?

I am so blessed.

Hmm. Mm-hmm.
Can I ask you a question?

Sure.
Yeah.

What you give him?
Excuse me?

What'd you give him?

That's none of your concern.

Girl, you better be glad
I'm at work. Heh heh heh.

I'm sorry.
What is that supposed to mean?

Just, you know, what
did you give him?

I don't have to tell
you that information.

Hmm. Mm-hmm.
Just tell me,

are you sleeping with him?

Oh, my goodness.

That's a yes or no question.

I'm just looking out for
you, ok,

because he gave me herpes.

What?
Yeah, girl.

I'm just, you know, trying to
have your back.

You know, I
don't need to do anything

because I'm not sleeping
with him.

Ok. All right.

I'm just warning you, looking
out for you, man.

I'm not doing
anything with him, ok,

because he knows my uncle.

Your uncle?

Yes.
My uncle is a pastor,

and he runs a homeless
shelter for men,

and he goes there at night.

A shelter?

Yes. And I volunteer
there on the weeknights.

And I recognized him from here.

And I told him he has nothing to
be ashamed of.

So I gave him dinner.
That is all.

I'm really sorry about your
situation.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So he's really just staying
at a shelter?

Yeah.
And don't tell anybody.

I'm sorry.

Listen, can I pray for you?

A prayer?

Yeah. I know it's not
something

that you see at work often,

but I would really like
to pray for you.

Yeah. Don't be spitting
on me. I'm good.

If you say so.

So you're going to
avoid me all day, huh?

I have a customer.
Sir, sir, have a nice day, sir!

Come on. Are you mad that
I went out to coffee with him?

I'm happy if he's into you.

Are you really?
Mm-hmm.

You're so full of sh*t.

I am.

Ok. Then ask me
how the date went.

Well...

See?
You can't even ask me.

If it was any other man,
you would ask.

Ok. Go ahead.
How was it?

Well, we went for coffee.

Mm-hmm.

And he was sitting
there looking all good

and smelling all good.

And I was sitting there,
looking all good

and smelling all good.

And I sat perched with my legs
crossed ever so perfect.

Toes pointed down one leg,

extravaganza in full effect.

Heh. You... you listening to me?

Yeah. Go on, go on.

Then look at me.

Go on.

Then he wrecked me, girl.

Baby, I sat up there just
flirting, batting my eyelashes,

and all he could say was,
"can you hook me up with your friend?"

What?

What friend?

You, b*tch!

Me?

Girl, the whole coffee

and conversation was about you.

What?
Yeah.

You are such a judgmental
little wh*re.

How can you say that?

Judging that man and
not wanting to go out with him

because you thought he was g*y.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Well, then, why is he
so comfortable around g*y people?

Oh, Sabrina.
That is so h*m*.

Oh, b*tch, please.
You started it.

Well, how did I start it?

You're the one that
told me he couldn't be straight

if he was that friendly.

Yeah.
Mm-hmm.

Ok, I was wrong.

Exactly.
Thank you.

We're both wrong, actually.

All right.
All right. We are.

Well, he has two g*y fathers,

and he's been around
g*y people all his life.

Really?

Yes. He's straight,

and he likes you, and I like
him for you.

He's a good man,
Savannah... Sabrina,

whatever your damn name is,
a good man.

Really?
Yes.

You didn't blow it, but if you
don't call him soon...

Ok. Ok.
I'll call him.

Now.
No.

Now.
Now?

Yes.

What if I just text him?

You better do something, h*.

Woman: ♪ I'm not gonna
be this lost forever... ♪

Gonna see you in two weeks.

Keep it wrapped in
a satin bonny.

Hey, girl.
I was just on my way over.

No need.
You took off?

I was forced off.

What happened?

Ok. Ok.

Come on.

Ok.

What happened?

My boss told me to leave.

Did he find out?

He already knows.
I mean, kind of.

I told you that.

Mm-hmm.

I was upset,

and he didn't want the partners
to see me.

I like the way he's
looking out for you.

They're only thinking
about the money.

He don't give a damn about me.

What exactly happened, Andi?

She came to visit me.

Andi.

She said that they had
a great night

and that she doesn't want to get
a divorce anymore.

No.

She said he went to the gym.

You know what that means?

That means he was with you?

Exactly.

And when he was with me,
I was so pissed.

I went off.

And then he cried,

and then he took out this ring.

What?

He proposed.

He did it this morning.

But he's already married.

That's what I said.

I don't get it.
I don't understand.

He got down on one knee,
and he cried and he begged.

And I was so mad.

I forced him into her arms.

Andi, what are
you talking about?

She said that when he
got back home from the gym,

he was crying,

and he gave her a ring,

the very ring I said no to.

Did you... did you ask
him about the airport?

No.

I just wanted him to get
the hell out of my life.

I am so mad at that son of a...

I know you have to be.

No.

Andi...
No, I don't need this,

and I don't need him. No.

I know, I know.
No. No.

Andi, calm down, stop.

Please.

I'm sorry.

What is wrong with me?

What am I doing?

Andi.

Come on, please, calm down.

You're upsetting me now.

Come on. Girl.

I'm gonna go to his job.

I want to scream.

No.
Yeah.

Andi, we're not gonna do that.

Yeah.
We're not gonna do that.

No, I wanted him to just...

He needs to give me back my key,

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

Ok. Come on. Sit down.

No.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Ok. Look.

Look at me.
I know, I know.

I'm shaking.

Look.

One day, we're gonna figure all
this sh*t out

and have a good laugh.

But until then...

Go ahead, block him.

Karen, no.

Block him.
I did it with Zac.

You did?

Yes.
When?

This morning.

No.
Mm-hmm.

Come on, move on with me.

Let's do it. Do it.
Get your phone.

Block him.

Ok.
Mm-hmm.

You did?

Go ahead, girl.

Girl? Girl, what you doing?

I'm deleting the contact.

What?

What's the point of blocking

if you don't delete
the contact? You didn't?

No.

Oh, then you will.
Do it.

No.
Do it.

Andi.

Do it. If we're gonna do
it, we gotta do this.

Let's delete the contact on 3.

On 3.

You ready?
No.



What now?

Let's smoke this...

Yeah, you take the first
hit, baby girl.

You hit it. I got you.

Thank you.

Oh. You still pretty.

Damn.

Where'd you get this from?

Girl, you out of practice.

And that's the problem.

Danni gave me that...
Oh, hell no. No.

What?
No!

I am not trying to be that high.

I'm gonna have to find
another job soon.

True. Ooh.

Right.
Ooh!

What? Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Like, a $40 meal?
Ok. Free drink ticket.

Danni.
Ok?

Danni.

Hey. What?
What the hell?

What?

You telling people
I gave you a std?

Man, I was joking.

That... ain't funny.

I know.
I don't have no stds.

Hey, neither do I.

So stop telling people that lie.

Look, I was just trying to...

No, you're just trying to
make sure none of the women

in this airport talk to me,
right?

No, that's not what
I was doing. I was...

Danni.

Ok. That was part of it.

God.

Listen, get your things

and you can come to my place,
ok?

Get out of here, I'm not...

I'm not flirting with you.

Since when?

Since you started
dating my friend.

I'm good.

Zac, I know you've been
staying in a shelter, ok?

You can stay on my couch until I
get you and Karen back together.

First of all, I don't
need no handouts.

You in a shelter.
And I'll make it.

I don't need you doing nothing
for me.

I'm not doing nothing for you.

I need help with half the rent.

First things first,

me and Karen are done. Ok?

Ok. Come on. It's
not... it's not over.

It is, danni.
She made it clear.

She told me she wanted
me to leave,

so that's what I did.

She did not mean that.

I'm not going through this
with you again.

She said, "leave."
So I leaved. God.

Actually, it's "left."

Right.

Left.

I was saying right for left.

Will you please
come to my house?

I'm not sleeping at
your house, danni.

Why not?

Because you like to come
in the room

when dudes asleep and
give them...

Well, if I see it up,
it's my job to bring it down.

It's a service.

Danni, some dudes
just gotta pee.

And that's all right.

Wow. Wow.

Look, I'm not gonna touch you.

Unless you have to pee.

Danni.

I'm joking, Zac.
I don't know.

I really need help with
half the rent. Really.

Come on. Come on.

I'll think about it.

Again, you in a shelter.

Bye, danni.

All right. You know my
address. I'll be waiting.

Stop talking.

Cart coming through.

So he's living in a shelter?

Yeah. And Karen thinks
he's living with some girl.

Damn. She really must
be done with him

if he's living in a shelter.

Yeah, but I don't
want them to be. So I...

He cheated on her.

I know, but they love
each other, Sabrina.

Well, I think that you
should mind your business on this one.

I don't know.

Girl, I'm serious.
Karen is mad as hell.

Yeah. Well, might've
invited him to live with me.

Danni.

Huh? This is the...

Girl, you know he is too fine...

Girl, I...

For you to be living with him.

I need help with the rent, ok?

If you need help with the rent,

stop spending money, danni.

You ever think of that?

Well, weed is a very
expensive medicine.

Why do you keep putting
stuff in my basket?

I need you to buy it for me.

Danni, why don't you
ever have any money?

Weed, ok? Weed.

At least you're honest.

Well, you know it did
went up. It's inflation.

Girl.

What?

What... why are you
buying all this,

uh, wine and candles, huh?

Who you cooking for?
Cooking for me?

Well, I wasn't gonna tell you.

Ok, we both know
that's not true, so...

Huh?
Huh?

What do you mean?

Ok. You keep... you tell
me everything.

You don't keep anything from me?
Oh, lamb chops.

I'm going to be
cooking for Calvin.

Wow.

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. You're just gonna
roll like that, huh?

Roll like what?

Just be with the
g*y man, you know?

He's not g*y.

So he went on a...

Didn't he ask Maurice out
on a date?

It wasn't a date, ok?

They just got together because...
Also known as a date.

Calvin was actually
talking about me.

He was trying to find out
information about me.

And plus, he's cool
with g*y people

because he has two fathers.

What?
Yes.

He was adopted
and raised by a g*y couple.

Hmm. Now that is, ugh,
just rich.

That is so rich, like, truffles.

Hand me some eggs, danni.

They're over there.

Ok. Excuse me.

I'm just cooking for him, ok?

Well, that's fine because,

you know, he is hot,
so I'll allow it.

It's just dinner.
Good for you.

I'm just saying I know that this
one must be special.

I just met him, so.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jerome!

Where you been?

Hi, Danni.

Where you been?

You know we're not
dating, right, danni?

Oh, that's funny,
because I just remember you

coming by my house for
Booty calls.

That was months ago.

Yeah. Bet you still
think about it, don't you?

Nice spank bank material.

Good for you, spank bank
material.

Woman: Baby, who's this?
Who are you?

Woman: Oh, I know who you are.

That's funny because I
don't know who you are.

Woman: I'll be in the car, ok?

No, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.

You that tuscaloosa ..., is
that correct?

Danni.
Tuscaloser? Tuscaloose?

Woman: Excuse me?

Huh? What'd I tell
you, Jerome? Hmm?

Woman: What's going on?

You know, I was the
before the 'gram.

Mm-hmm.
Yeah.

But now I can get these little
floozies and flew 'em out.

Danni.
Yeah. Yeah.

Chill.

Ok. How can you even
afford to fly her out?

You sling bags. You don't even
get the tips.

Danni.
How?

You know, if you're
using my work discount

for this tuscaloose-coochie...

Danni.
Woman: Excuse me.

Chill.
You just wait.

I whoop your a*s, Jerome.
Danni, calm down.

I will whoop your a*s, huh?

I wanna see the whole thing!
Danni, danni!

Let me see the ...'S...!

Danni! Danni!

Yeah! Come on!

You're early.

Yeah.

You're drinking?

Just one.

Trying to take the edge off?

No edge.
It's just a long day.

I see. What is it?

Martini.

Ok.

Can I have another for her?

And I'll just have an iced tea.

Thank you.

Hard stuff.

Not really a drinker.

Ok.

How are you?

Good.
I mean, like I said,

it's just been a long day.

On your feet all day?

Yep.

Ok. Give 'em here.

What?

Put your feet here on the chair.

I don't know you like that.

You don't want
me to see them feet?

I have very nice
feet, thank you.

Ok. So put them here.

Are you serious?

Yeah. I love giving
a good foot massage.

No. No.

Sorry. I can be very,
uh, direct and dedicated.

I just... I say what's on my mind.

And my feet are on your mind?

Ok. I'll let it go.

But the first time I
do it for you,

you're gonna wish you
didn't let this moment pass.

Smart girl.

Yeah.
Just keep telling me yes.

Oh, my god.

I told you.

What are you doing?

I know a little bit about this.

And where did you learn?

Thailand.

Thailand?

Yeah, I was stationed
there for a bit.

Stationed?

Marine corps.

Oh, typical.

Oh, my god.
That feels so good.

Hope nobody sees.

No, I think we're good.

So what did you mean by typical?

Oh, come on.
Look at you.

I don't get it.

You're built like a Greek god.

Well, thank you.

Do you want me to stop?

No, no, please just go.

Ok. Then you order.

Ok. Do you like steak?

Yeah, that's fine.

Ok.
Thank you.

Can we have two steaks,
please? Thank you.

Hi.

Heh. Wow.

What?

You look beautiful.

Thank you.
Come on in.

Thank you.
I brought wine.

Oh.
This is my favorite.

I know.

Maurice?

Yep.

How much did he
tell you about me?

A lot, actually.

Oh, I'm gonna k*ll him.

Oh, don't do that

because I wouldn't be here
without him.

I'm sorry I judged you.

That's cool.
I get it.

Well, I really like
how open-minded you are.

Thank you.

I don't think my fathers would
have it any other way.

Mm-hmm. So what was
that like,

growing up with two dads?

Hmm, pretty normal, actually.

It was only an issue for
the people with small minds.

I'm sure.

Yeah. Um, you
got an opener?

Oh, yeah. Here.

Cool. Cool.

Uhh.

Shall I pour?

Oh, yes.

Damn girl, something
smell good. What you cooking?

Italian.

Oh, my god.
You read my mind. Oh.

Do you want to taste?
Please.

Mmm.

Is it good, really?

So good.

Ok. Oh!
Sorry, it's hot.

It's cool, um, yeah.

Dinner's gonna be ready
in a minute.

If you want to,
you can have a seat.

Ok. I'll just
pour it for you.

Mm-hmm. Thanks.

No problem.

Oh, snap.

Don't tell me you like the
classics. Albums, really?

Uh, yes, I like
a little vintage.

Oh, snap. Hey, you
mind if I play something?

Go ahead.
Ok.

Just make it good.
I'm judging you.

Oh, ok. I got you.

Oh, I love this album. Oh.

Tch tch tch tch.

Oh, I love jazz. Mm-hmm.

Ok. Are you hungry?

Heh. Starving.

What do you do for a living?

Several things.

Ok. Well, the last guy
that told me that

was a drug dealer, so.

You really have had some
issues with men, huh?

Hmm. I got stories.

All bad?

All not great.

Ok. Well, here's to
creating

some new stories and great ones.

Ok. But, uh, what
about you and women stories?

Well, I told a friend of
mine that I met you

and he went nuts.

Why?

Well, he knows how I am.

I hate dating. I'm just more
of a commitment guy.

Well, you're married,
so that makes sense.

Well, I'm actually looking for

a really great attorney to file
this divorce.

I've heard that before.

No, I'm serious. Like,
do you know anybody?

I do know a great attorney.

She's a good friend of mine.

Yeah?
Mm-hmm.

Well, please, can
I have her number?

Yeah, I'll give it to you.

Thank you.
I'll text it to you.

Yes, please, please
do that. I want that.

So, um, she cheated?

Yeah.

How many times?

What? One.

And you're going to divorce her?

Like, one time is
a deal breaker.

Listen, I'm an honest man.

I would not allow anyone
to do that, ever.

Wow.

What?

How many years were
you married again?



And just like that?

"Just like that" what?

I mean, no love for her?

I will always love her.

I just love me as well,
and I just won't allow that.

And, like, she knew that was a
real deal breaker for me.

Wow.

I mean, I wish I could just
turn it off like that.

Well, it isn't easy.

I just... I know what I have to do
for me.

What's best for you.

And to do what's best for you.

Me night.

It really was.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for inviting me.

It's my pleasure.

Oh, ok.

I mean, the food was great.

Check, please.

It was great, atmosphere
was great.

It's beautiful.

Thanks. Damn.

What?

I don't have my wallet.

I'll get it.

Listen, you will not get it, ok?

Because I'm sure you
got a story about some dude

that stiffed you on the bill,
ok?

I will gladly pay the bill.

I won't let you, ok?

I'll... I'll call my wife.

She'll bring my credit card.
Ok?

Your wife?

Yes.
Does that bother you?

I mean, she cheated on you.

Does it... does it bother
you to call her?

Well, Karen, I don't hate
her, right? I'm just done.

Ok. But I can
just pay the bill.

No, look.
We stay around the corner.

I'll just call her. It's fine.

Ok. Well, then, I will
just leave because I'm...

No, no, no, no, no.

Just let me pay the bill, then.

Karen, I want you to know
I'm not full of sh*t, ok?

Just...

I'm at ransom, around
the corner.

Can you bring my wallet, please?

We'll be fine.

I hate those...

Make us all look bad.

Who is it?

It's me.

Boy, the door is open.

You just leave the door open?

Come on in. Well, I knew
you were coming. Welcome.

And you're smoking.

Look, I've got a couple of
questions.

Wait, this... wait, what?

If I'ma stay here,

you're gonna have to answer
a couple questions.

This don't sound right.
Ok.

I don't... what is it?

I got some rules.

Let me get this straight.

You've got rules...
Yes.

For my house, where
I pay the rent?

Yes.

Ok. Boy, bye.

All right.

Oh, my... what is it?

First...
Mm-hmm.

I'll pay half the rent.

Oh, well, give me your bag.

Come on in. You need
some water?

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Hold on. Hold on.
What?

I'll pay half the rent,

but you cannot come in
the bathroom when I'm in there.

Why would I do that?
Danni.

Fine. What else?

If you happen to
have a guy over,

please give me a
significant amount of time

so that I'm not here.

Ok.

Lastly, if I decide
to have a girl over,

you cannot...
Hell no.

Danni.
Hell no.

If I decide...
Hell no.

If I...

No.

If I... If I decide
to have a girl over,

you cannot tell your friends.

Yeah. I can't
make that promise.

You need this money, right?

Because I need a place to stay.

Why do you have a velcro
wallet? You're an adult.

You need this money, right?

Because I... the door is right
there.

Ok. Fine, fine.

Thank you.
Give me the money.

You remember the rules, right?

Shh, give me the money.

Thank you.

See, I said thank you.

You're welcome.
Where can I put my stuff?

Nowhere 'cause where
the rest of the money?

What are you talking about?

First and last month's deposits.

Come on, danni, you got to
be kidding me. Come on.

Ok. Fine.

I'll take it in...

Danni.

What?

All right. All right. All right.
Are you hungry?

No, I'm good.

Dang, well, I am.

That's nice.

So go...
Wake up-

Cook. Me?
Yeah.

No, I'm not cooking.

You're doing the dishes.
Fine.

Here she comes,
I'll be right back.

Honey, did you
bring that for me?

Woman: Yeah.

I appreciate it.

This is crazy-a*s...

Hey.

Hey, girl, listen, I'm sorry.

I know I was supposed
to call you earlier,

but I'm still on this date.

It's ok.
How is it going?

I'll fill you in later.
How are you doing?

I'm ok.

You sure?

Yeah.

Ok. Well, what
did you do today?

Just went to the gym.

Ok. Well, that's a good
way to keep your mind off it.

It didn't, but thank you.

He's coming back, ok?
I'm gonna call you back.

I'm gonna call you tonight when
I get in, ok?

All right, bye. Bye.
Have fun.

What the hell are you
doing here?

I left her.
I'm moving in.

Woman: Next on "sistas"...

I love you so much.
I gave up everything for you.

And everything I have is
on the line for you.

Karen.

No, no, y'all need
to figure this out.

No, there's nothing
to figure out.

It don't look that way to me.

Look at you.

You're just, like, so smooth
and chocolatey.

What are you doing?

You still have
some making up to do.

Are we talking
about sex right now?

I'm talking about
whatever you want to do.

What's wrong?
