-Is that my daughter? -Dad?
Do you got time to see your daddy?
I guess so.
Well, let me know where you at,
and I'm gonna pull up on you.
I just quit.
I'm tired of working for the man.
Stop saying that.
I'm serious--I'm starting my own production company.
Tell me the truth.
Winston and I have been having some issues.
Are you having trouble getting pregnant?
Yes.
Instead of doing what we think we're supposed to do,
for once, let's do what we want to do.
-And what is that? -Not get married.
upbeat music
Idina, do you take Hattie to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Who's gonna save us?
When we decide to jump?
I do.
Hattie, do you take Idina to be your lawfully wedded wife
forever and ever...
upbeat music
That girl is poison
Never trust a big butt and smile
That girl is poison
Poison!
Do you?
Hattie, don't play with me.
I would never play with you. That's right.
-I love you. -Mm-hmm.
You're the first relationship I've ever had,
and you're the first person that loved me back.
I love you, Hattie.
You do?
Is someone getting married here today?
-Yes. -Who?
Which one you wanna marry?
She does not get to decide that.
Even if this wasn't her dream,
I would still have a choice in the matter.
And for the record, I didn't propose.
I just asked a question.
See, there you go manipulating me again.
It's not my fault you like being manipulated.
I'm leaving!
Idina! Idina, no!
Idina!
Idina, come back!
No!
Please, come back!
Sometimes these girls be the bad girls
Bad girls
Idina!
No!
Come back!
Babe, it's okay.
You were just having a bad dream.
I'm right here.
-Damn, that was crazy. -What happened?
We were, uh--
What were we doing?
We were just hanging out, smoking weed, reading books,
and burning incense and stuff, you know?
That sounds like a calm dream.
Yeah, you know, I always jolt
out of those when I'm asleep.
-It's weird. -Hmm.
Dang, babe.
Ugh.
Come here.
Oh, my gosh.
soft dramatic music
-Thank you. -Mm-hmm.
Let's go back to sleep.
Don't nobody know what I'm going through
They don't know the kind of pain I'm in
They don't know what it feels like
They don't know about these tits
soft dramatic music
It's a Monday, and I'm...
Are you gonna keep me company or be on your phone all day?
I can do two things at the same time.
You can text Idina later.
How you feeling?
Weird.
Yeah, it is the end of an era.
I just never thought I'd be single again.
Good luck.
Is it really that bad out there?
Yes. Ain't shit out here.
So do you want to move back in?
Is that a good idea?
I mean, if you wanna keep sleeping
on Lauren's couch, be my guest.
Yeah, I definitely got to get out of there.
All right.
I'll move my stuff back in this weekend.
I'm looking forward to having you back.
Did you miss me?
Don't start.
-So who was that? -It was just my mom.
Oh.
Yeah, I'll hit her back later.
Everything's okay?
Yeah, she's just mad 'cause my dad's trying
to drop back into my life.
He invited me to his comedy show tonight.
You haven't spoken to that man in years.
Yeah.
He just dropped back in for a little bit, so.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
I'ma go break the bad news to Lauren that I'm moving out.
She'll probably throw me a sad going away party.
Yes. That's definitely happening.
All right, I'll be back.
Okay, bye.
upbeat music
Hello?
Did you know that Hattie's dad is in town?
-He is? -Yeah.
And she's going to his comedy show tonight.
I think we should go.
-Why do we have to go? -Nobody invited you.
I think we should all go. For moral support.
I really think she's freaking out.
Okay, I got to go. Text me the info.
Ida. What are you doing here?
I owe you an apology.
Thank you for saying that, but you didn't need
to come all this way.
Well, I came to do more than just apologize.
May I come in?
Of course.
Oh. Hello. I'm Ida.
Hi, I'm Vanessa, Nia's younger sister.
She's my older sister.
Nia, I wrote something a while back
and I think I'm finally ready to put it into the world.
-And you thought about me? -Of course.
-What's it about? -It's about a lot of things.
That sounds vague.
You have so much more to offer
than quippy one liners on "Cocoa's Butter."
-Oh, is that why you fired me? -Don't be disrespectful.
I'm just asking her a question.
I fired you because your character
had nowhere else to go.
You fired me 'cause you got mad at Hattie.
You were looking for a reason to get back at her
-and I was an easy target. -That's not true.
I'm an empath. And I'm not a pawn.
No, you're not. And I believe in you.
I actually think you can be a star.
-So do I. -But at the rate you're going,
you're going to be 40 before you get there.
-I agree. -Don't take her side.
I am offering you...
the lead.
Do you promise to never lie to me again?
Okay. Fine.
I'll promise you that I will always be honest with you.
Okay.
-Ahh! Congratulations!
Ahh!
Nia.
What's up?
Please give Hattie my best.
soft suggestive music
I can't believe we about to start prep
for this movie in a couple weeks.
I can't believe we about to have a baby.
Really? That's how we doing this?
Yeah, really. What happened to your vow?
What happened to yours?
That's a low blow.
You took the first swing.
Listen. Sorry about your engagement.
Are you?
I've had my heart broken a few times.
It's no fun.
I'll survive.
I'm sure you will.
But I am here if you need anybody to talk to.
I have friends.
I'm not like your other friends.
No. You're not.
I'm here if you need me.
I know.
light jazzy music
Uh, thanks for the going-away party,
but you really didn't have to do this.
Of course I did.
It's been such a blessing
having you here as I heal from my breakup with Ben.
This is the saddest party I've ever been to.
Oh, shit.
What?
Nothing.
What's going on?
I just got this thing with my dad later
at the Comedy Chateau.
It's kind of stressing me out.
Why?
'Cause I've seen his ass once in the last ten years.
I'm just scared it's going to be weird.
Do you want me to come with you?
I have daddy issues too.
I don't know how that's gonna help me, so no.
Don't need that.
I would offer to come, but I hate standup comedy.
Who the hell hates standup comedy?
I mean, most comedians aren't good.
I don't know. My dad's pretty good.
I actually think you'd like him.
I highly doubt that.
Well, why don't you just pull up and see?
I'm good.
Hattie.
If you don't let me come, I'm just gonna be sitting here
waiting for the alley cat to come hang out with me.
Is that, like, an expression or something where you from?
No.
Okay. Well, yes. Yes, you can come.
Yes! Ready?
Smile.
-Like you're having fun.
Standup comics are so fascinating.
How so?
It's literally their job to make people laugh.
That don't sound that hard to me.
It's extremely hard.
Would you want to get up on a stage in a room
full of strangers and try to make them laugh?
-I guess not. -Of course you wouldn't.
It's crazy.
And these people do it all the time.
No wonder my dad's such a hot mess.
I doubt they have a good merlot,
but if they have anything close, I'll take it.
Vanessa, this is not the Four Seasons.
-Obviously. -Okay.
I need to know how long are we doing the roommate thing?
I told you, I need a little bit more time.
You can't run away from your life forever.
I don't intend to.
But I think Winston and I need to go to couples counseling.
-Then call and tell him that. -He says he can't right now.
He does not have the bandwidth.
Then you shouldn't have the bandwidth to be his wife.
You're too young to understand.
I'm not that much younger than you.
You should be with someone that's willing
to put in the work.
We all deserve that.
Here you go.
-You come here often? -Oh, my God!
Tristan, what are you doing here?
-I came to see you. -How'd you know I was here?
-You posted it. -Oh, yeah, I did.
Yeah, you said, "I'm going to the Comedy Chateau.
Pull up if you're in need of a good laugh."
-Are you? -I'm here, ain't I?
- What if I were on a date? - Oh. Is that dude Ben here?
No, no, he's starting his own business,
he doesn't have time until after.
No time till after? There's always time for that.
I'm glad you pulled up.
Me, too.
heartfelt music
I miss you.
Then you should come around more often.
Yeah?
Thank you.
For what?
For giving me another chance.
All I gave you was a kiss.
You're gonna have to do a lot more work
if you want me to give you another chance.
-Mm. -Yeah.
I got you.
Everybody make some noise!
So coming to the stage right now,
we have a legend in the comedy game.
I mean, that's just my way of saying the man's old as shit.
I'm just gonna be real with you, he's old as shit.
But he's also funny as shit.
So I'm honored to welcome to the stage,
ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Dwayne Mitchell!
-Come on!
-Psych!
I guess I don't have to ask y'all how y'all doing
because y'all look stressed.
Y'all look like y'all here waiting, just waiting to see
if your Hollywood dreams will come true.
Well, sorry to tell you, most of them not.
That's real--all y'all out here trying to be super stars,
trying to be movie stars.
Well, you should be out here looking for a job.
J-O-B.
'Cause this industry ain't shit.
Like my daughter, for instance.
She came out here chasing her Hollywood dream
just like her dad.
20 years ago, I got here, I came here,
I had more condoms in my pocket than money.
And I still was able to get a few women pregnant.
Before they found out that I wasn't gonna be shit!
Sometimes, you got to get in there early
before they realize
their potential ain't gonna materialize into anything.
My daughter's a part of the LGBTQIA community.
Uh, glad y'all feel obligated to clap at that.
She's...
Uh, she's out and she's proud.
I tried to get her to tell me how many hoes she's had,
but she won't tell me.
I mean, if she's anything like her dad, she got a lot.
I had a lot.
When she was born, I had a lot of women.
That's why I had to break out. I'm good at juggling women,
but I'm not good at juggling them goddamn diapers,
-I can tell you that.
Uh...
That's not cool, man.
I don't want her to have my genes.
D-list celebrity runs in our family.
But I love her.
It's easier for me to express myself up here.
That way I don't have to deal with my emotions and shit.
I never really been good at that.
Abandonment runs in our blood, baby girl.
I know this is supposed to be funny, but--
I guess--
I guess what I'm trying to say is that
my daughter...
Is a better man than me.
I didn't want y'all to laugh at that; I mean that.
All right, that's my time. Y'all be blessed.
Okay, okay, let's give it up
one more time for Dwayne Mitchell!
You know what I realized tonight?
What's that?
sentimental music
That my dad is-- he isn't just my dad, you know?
He's just this dude out in the world
trying to figure it all out.
I know.
When you're alone at 30...
-Hey. -There she is.
When you feel life, life's passed you by...
So.
-What? -What?
Oh.
-What'd you think about my set? -Oh, it was good.
It was good, yeah. We loved it.
-So you must be Idina. -That's me.
-She cute. -Thank you.
He'll be by your side
We're all looking for a change...
Take care of my baby girl, okay?
-All right? -Yeah.
A'ight.
We're all looking for a change
Shifting our circumstance
We're all looking for a change...
I'll see you around.
Bye, Dad.
In the weather
When you're alone at 30
When you feel life...
There you are. I thought y'all left.
No, not yet.
How are you feeling?
-I'll be a'ight. -Yes, you will.
Nia, you sure I can't give you a ride home?
-No, I'm going to ride with-- -She can ride with you.
I will call myself a car.
Are you ready?
All right. Peace.
-Bye. -Bye, now.
Well, so much for hanging with the girls.
Welcome to the single life.
Is there anything you want to tell me?
I don't know. What you mean?
I don't know, I just--
I just wanna make sure you're good.
Me? Oh, I'm good.
I promise.
Okay. Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Let me know when you get home safe?
I always do.
You sure you don't want to go home with me?
Nah.
I know you got to wake up hella early in the morning,
so I'll be fine.
-Will I see you tomorrow? -Yeah.
You were right. I did like him.
Yeah? What was your favorite joke?
The D-list celebrity thing made me smile.
Well, I'm glad that spoke to you.
Are you okay?
Not really.
I get that.
-You do? -Yeah.
Most of the time I'm not okay, but I just say I am
'cause it feels weird, to be honest.
I know what you mean.
That's why I liked your dad's set.
He told the truth.
Too much truth. And it was hella uncomfortable.
I think it was supposed to be.
That's me.
That's me, so.
-All right.
-I'm--I'ma go this way. -Okay.
-You have a good night. -Thanks.
Goddamn!
You need a ride?
Yeah, I do.
So what do you want to listen to?
What? I get to choose?
Yeah, but choose wisely.
See, now you putting too much pressure on me, I don't know.
Just give me an artist and a song, silly.
Uh...
-2 Chainz, "It's a Vibe." -Ooh, I love that song.
I know, right? I ain't heard it in a minute.
-- Yah
-You smoke, right? -Have you met me?
-What?
Well, I just got some shit in from Jamaica
if you want to swing by my crib real quick.
Let's go.
That's a vibe, she wanna vibe
That's a vibe, yeah, uh
That's a vibe
It's a vibe
That's a vibe, yeah, yeah
That's a vibe
Oh, it's a vibe
And that's a vibe
Yeah
That's a vibe, she wanna vibe
That's a vibe, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, that's a vibe
She wanna vibe
That's a vibe
It's a vibe, yeah, yeah
