Post by bunniefuu »

- I said, I wanna make love to you.

- WOMAN: Previously on "Sistas"--

- Who are you talking to? - Why do you wanna know that?

- I cannot let my heart get all tied up in you.

- Why not? - It's still in love with Karen.

- What was he doing here?

- Well, he opened an account and he wanted to buy some stock.

- How much money? - $,.

- Him?

- Girl, you gotta see him.

- How quickly we forget about Zac.

- I was told you were tough.

- We are going to have to let you go.

- Then because I won't sleep with you, you go and do this?

Sexual harassment!

- What that b*tch say?

- You heard him, Maurice.

He said that I fired him because I wanted him.

- sh*t.

- [heavy breathing]

What?

- Girl--

- What? You know him, Maurice. You know that's bullshit!

- I know but--

- Maurice, but what?

- You're a manager.

You cannot be sleeping with a subordinate.

- I know that.

But I didn't do anything to him.

- Doesn't matter.

All they have to do is hint at it

and they're winning lawsuits. - Oh God.

I can't believe this is happening.

- I know, I know, me neither.

- Maurice, you know that I-- - MAURICE: I know, I know.

Maybe he'll calm down and he'll be better about it.

- I don't-- I didn't do nothing--

You he came onto me. He came to my apartment--

- And then he -- of you, didn't he?

- SABRINA: Maurice, this is not--

- He shot the club up.

- This is not the time.

- I would get even with the b*tch.

- Even?

How would you even do that?

- Why don't you say that, uh... "He r*ped me."

Oh yes, honey. - Maurice, that's low.

- Oh yes, and what he did to you wasn't?

- I know. I know, I know. But I can't, I can't.

- Honey, I would march down

to the police station and say, "Oh my God,

I forgot his name but I was violated."

- Maurice, too many women are seriously getting hurt.

I could never do that.

- Honey, when people play dirty, you gotta get dirtier.

When they go low, we dig a tunnel.

- Maurice, you know how I feel about the dark.

No, no, no, no.

- Sabrina, sometimes you got to fight

fire with fire. And set that b*tch off.

- Okay, maybe that's something you would do but I can't.

- Okay. Well let him try to ruin your life

and compromise your job again.

- You think he could do that?

- That b*tch is what you call, um, stupid.

What else is she gonna do?

- sh*t. - MAURICE: Mm-hmm.

- This is -- up.

- Get his a*s back.

- I'm never gonna do that, Maurice.

- Well, did he send you any d*ck pics?

- No.

- Damn, we could have posted them.

- And then we would go to j--I gotta--

- Revenge porn, revenge porn. - SABRINA: No.

Go to work.

- Revenge porn is catered to this situation.

Revenge.

- It's not generalization. It's a scientific fact.

- Science? - ZAC: Science!

- You're science-- Okay.

The girls and I were supposed to have lunch,

it got canceled.

I said, "You know, Zac's a weirdo,

"nobody talks to him really.

I'll come eat lunch with him 'cause I'm his friend."

But you wanna be a little d*ck, you wanna be an a*s.

So I'm gonna let you deal with it by yourself, okay?

fourth grader in time out. You're scaring people.

that I heard about and the stock tanked.

I lost everything.

I just told you I lost everything

and your answer to me is, "Alright, well"?

That's what you came over here for?!

- Zac. - ZAC: God.

- Lower your voice.

you know, but didn't you say they do houses all the time?

Talking about some, "Oh hey, Zac,

"we're gonna have to let you go

You know, my grandma used to say to me--

- Yo! Please, please, don't-- I don't wanna hear

about your grandmother, yo. She was senile.

- DANNI: Just listen. - This can't be my life.

This can't be my life.

and I see it,

I get that.

And when you're trying, you're gonna win some

and you gonna lose some.

And you lost this one.

Abysmally, I might add.

I mean, I can only imagine getting that amount of money

and it just comes into your hands--

- Is this supposed to be helping me, really?

- And it just slips through like water.

- This is supposed to be helping me?

- While you're homeless, no less.

Didn't you just get stabbed?

Listen, this is a lot for you, and I get that.

But what I like about you is that you don't give up,

you know?

You try again.

- Thank you. - I love that.

- Thank you. - DANNI: You take chances.

- Thank you, I appreciate it, thank you.

- Albeit, those chances are ill informed.

- Can you stop, please, just, please, just stop.

- I'm just saying-- - Don't just say!

Don't just say! Just stop, please!

It hurts enough.

I don't need you and your grandmother's sayings.

I've been through so much with him.

Before we started dating I knew he was married.

And I said to myself, "I am not gonna fall for this man."

We would just be friends.

But before I knew it, he had my heart in his hands.

Which is what I think is going on with you and Zac.

- So what would that mean for me and you?

- What do you mean?

- As friends, it's gonna be awkward for you.

- Well, you just let me worry about it, okay?

- Okay.

- Girl, I am not giving that -- that.

- You don't think he can tell from all that damn shaking?

- Or you can just keep lying to yourself.

you're not going to tell Gary? - I am positive.

%, absolute, matter fact.

- Alright, thank you so much.

- Yeah, you're welcome.

FATIMA: Alright, I'll see you later.

- I will see you then.

- I'mma see you mother -- .

- Now, don't you feel better?

- No.

- Oh, well you haven't had enough, to drink.

Bartender!

- Yes. - Get this girl another drink.

- Sure. - Thank you.

And get me one too. Make it a double entendre.

- Okay.

You know, I heard what you did.

- What? - Here you go.

Oh, Que.

- What about him?

- He, uh, he told me that you were really nice to him.

That's great. - Girl, -- Que!

- Oh. [laughs]

- Wait, what is it?

- Oh, it's this guy Que.

He, um--he gets people to like him

and then he just steals from you.

- So you just open your mouth and say anything,

don't you? - Yes, I do.

- Go on. - Right, 'cause she does.

- I do not.

- Anyway, Maurice could have had him arrested for stealing

Calvin's checks, but he didn't.

He decided to be nice to him.

- Maurice?

- I did not decide to be nice to him.

I told him he needed help. - Well, he really--

[chuckles]-- He really appreciated it.

- Well good. - And now he really wants to--

- Girl, don't you have customers?!

- Okay. - Ooh.

Talk too much for me.

- Maurice.

- What?

- I mean, that was nice of you.

- He's had a hard life.

- Okay, but he still stole.

- I know, but I just get it.

- What do you mean you get it?

- When I was , my mother put me out,

and I had to figure sh*t out and fast.

I don't know what I would have done

if it wasn't for my drag mother at the house of It-Is-Us.

They really helped me out.

- Never really hear you talk about your mother.

- She's nothing to talk about. She hates me.

Her and her bible-thumping sisters.

- I'm sorry. - Hmm-mm.

It is what it is, girl. Don't be sorry.

- I know but it's still hard.

- Child, life is hard.

It is what it is, mama.

- Come on, you don't always have to make a joke about it.

It's okay to-- - What do you want me to do?

- Talk about it, just talk about it.

You know?

- Would you like me to cry my mascara off?

Would that make you happy?

- If you talk about it you can get past things, that's all.

- Girl, I don't need to talk about things

and get past nothing that I'm already over.

Plus, I'm years old now and I'm in my prime.

I want my youth to be my youth.

- [chuckles] Maurice, you're ?

- And a half. I moisturize.

- I can't with you. Okay.

- Look, let me live my life. - Did you say anything?

- MAURICE: As a toddler.

- [chuckles] You're so silly.

- I need to go dance.

Talk to this girl, her hair stink.

- [laughs]

Okay, Extravaganza.

How do you deal with him?

- It's a lot.

- BOTH: [laughing]

- A lot of meditation. Yeah. - Yeah.

- KAREN: Alright and you are all set.

We can go ahead and pay Pam at the front.

And I will see you next week. - Okay.

- Pam, I don't have the time to go home

and get changed, okay?

- Come on, girl, at least go freshen up.

- Okay, thank you. - Don't trip with me.

I just don't want you out there looking like that.

Alright, can you go now?

- You want me to leave you in here?

- Yes. - Girl, you might get robbed.

- I wish a -- would. I really do.

- Oh yeah, that's right. [laughs]

I'm leaving on that note. - Okay, goodnight, Pam.

- PAM: Goodnight. I'll see you in the morning.

- Mm-hmm.

- PAM: Uh, Karen.

We closed. Not open.

- Girl, don't take that sh*t. - Who the hell is that?

Who was that? - I don't know.

- What the hell is this? - Um, don't open that sh*t.

- No. - Then what is it?

- Why are you still here?

- 'Cause that strange man scared me.

- Just go, Pam.

- Unh-uh, he might be out there waiting for me

in the bushes?

- Oh, okay, well then you'll be happy

'cause you love some strays. - You know you--

I'm really mad that you know that sh*t.

- Yes, I do. Now go.

- Okay girl. Fine.

- Pam-- - Yes?

- Don't you be bringing no more strays in here, okay?

Especially after hours. - Okay, I won't.

- I'll be damned, Andi. sh*t.

[sighs]

- Mmm, damn.

- Hmm?

- I've never seen you look like this before.

- You know, I don't know if that's a compliment or a diss.

- What?

- You see me all the time... naked, clothed.

- And you look great naked and clothed.

And you know, that I know you're beautiful.

But I'm telling you that you look really great.
