working with your producers.

I'd be happy, too.

me to the bottle.

Oh, I got next. All we used to
do is slap bones in the joint.

and you thought ambushing me with a Lyon
840
00:41:47,366 --> 00:41:49,285
would get my attention.
841
00:41:49,612 --> 00:41:51,663
I don't like being ambushed.
842
00:41:51,783 --> 00:41:53,728
(CHUCKLES) Why you being
shady? Come on, Ya-Ya.
843
00:41:53,848 --> 00:41:56,347
Shut up, Jamal.
844
00:41:57,337 --> 00:42:00,740
Well, my girls have been working
really hard since Atlanta NextFest.
845
00:42:00,860 --> 00:42:02,053
I just want to see...
846
00:42:02,173 --> 00:42:05,204
Set up an appointment with my assistant.
847
00:42:05,895 --> 00:42:07,759
And Carlotta...
848
00:42:07,879 --> 00:42:10,173
don't try to play me again.
849
00:42:10,632 --> 00:42:12,463
(CARLOTTA SCOFFS)
850
00:42:12,583 --> 00:42:14,198
- I'm sorry.
