I ain't have no money, yo.
I was broke.

And she was giving me hell.
Like hell.

That situation, got it.

-[Zac] Yeah.
-Mm.

Sista circle was talking sh*t.

"I don't know why you with him.

I don't know why he can't pay
the light bills.

That n*gga broke. He a scrub."

[imitating whiny mumbling]

Every day.

That was mad stressful.

Well, I'm sure she wishes
she would've stayed now.

So her loss.

My gain.

Why do y'all do that?

Do what?

Like, listen to y'all girls
about sh*t like that.

I don't do that.

Angela [fake coughing]

I had a cough.
I wasn't saying Angela.

No, seriously, it's like,
if a dude tell you he trying,

why not just let him try, like
give him time?

Zac, I'm with you
whether you broke or not.

I know, but you prefer
the 'or not.'

I mean, any woman would, right?

-[Zac] Right.
-Right.

Look, baby, it's more than just
about paying the light bill.

Okay?

I get it.

I got money. I got a little bit
more confidence.

Confidence, exactly.

-I get it. I get it.
-Exactly.

Yeah.

Yeah. Speaking of money, so, um,
when are you gonna tell Bryce?

Huh?

You said huh, you can hear.

I'm not telling him yet.

Zac.

Listen, listen. He gotta learn.

There are consequences
for your actions.

You gotta learn, right?

Babe, I get that...

Yeah, all right, don't "but."

-I see the "but." It's a lot.
-It's a lot.

I know it's a lot
for me too stressed out.

So I'll tell him
when I tell him,

and I ain't talking about it

No judgement. And I get that.

Okay.

But if you make him
wait and suffer,

Come on, man, just tell me.

You ain't gonna tell me?

My truck is not average, okay?

Mm, it's a little average.

And you got on
them rundown cowboy boots.

I like these boots.

And the same jeans.

This is just the second day.

These are 10-day jeans.

What the hell is a 10-day jean?

This is real high-quality denim.

That means they don't need
to be washed for 10 days.

This that real denim.

[Zac] Is that sh*t waterproof?

It must be funk-proof.

You wrangle cows in them jeans?

Listen. Okay, listen.

You've heard of
never judge a book by its cover?

Yeah.

[Preston] I'm that book.

These boots
and these 10-day jeans

are that cover.

Well, I guess you can cover
your cow-wrangling a*s

and whatever you want when you
make money like this.

[laughing bombastically]

Who got some money?

Heh-heh-hell, no!

What are you doing here?

Well, you know,

Well, you seen what's going on.

You know what my lawyer said,
I actually have a good case

against Fatima.

You still pursuing that?

Oh, all the way, baby.

Then I ain't got nothing
to say to you.

Are you really

I'm saying bye as well.

Oh, okay.

I thought you were a leader,

-What? What?

You think Danni was messy, bro?

I mean...

She is 10 times worse

And she will take all your money

and your cows and your horses.

You think I'm dumb.

No.

Thank you, I think.

You're welcome.

Okay, I don't think
you're dumb, I'm being honest.

But I know you ain't ever
been freaked before.

What does that even mean?

Preston, if you was
getting freaked,

you wouldn't be wearing


Well, maybe I need
to be freaked then.

Maybe I need some one-day jeans.

Maybe that's what I need.

I tell you right now,
if you let her freak you,

you won't have no jeans.

You be walking out here,

-What's up?
-No, you know what? I got it.

I'll ask the shop.

So if your gossiping-a*s woman

to tell your boy something,

would you do it?

That's a tough one, man.

Just depends on what it is.

See? See? Thank you.

No, hey, that's that bullshit,

so he can defend his girl.

No, I wanted to tell him,
Tyrone.

He didn't wanna tell him.

Woah, woah, why wouldn't
you wanna tell him?

See, what Nate failed to mention

is that our friend has a record.

And if he does something stupid,
he could go to jail for life.

Oh, sh*t, you might not want
to say nothing about that.

[Tony] Yeah, see, it's a little
more complicated than that.

[indistinct]

You know what? Never mind.

Forget I even asked, man.

Look here, if a man hit my girl,

How you know?

You don't watch the news.

Man, I watch the news,

-Oh, come on.
-You can trust me on that.

Okay, I can't with you, yo.

Forget it, bro. Never mind.

No, go on. You know what?

You wanted the opinion
of the shop.

Y'all need to tell her.

No, no, no, I didn't wanna know
the shop's opinion.

You know what? Never mind.

We did the right thing
by not telling him. Okay?

Look, all I'm gonna say is this.

Once he finds out,
