00:07:12,662 --> 00:07:14,787
That's right, mr. Grant.
Sears will replace and repair

171
00:07:14,831 --> 00:07:17,582
any covered appliances
for no extra cost.

172
00:07:17,667 --> 00:07:19,500
You changed your hair.

173
00:07:19,586 --> 00:07:21,752
I figured you would,
uh, do something

174
00:07:21,838 --> 00:07:24,589
a little more low key.
- Well, that ain't me.

175
00:07:24,674 --> 00:07:27,133
And it's a phone job.
They don't even see my hair.

176
00:07:27,177 --> 00:07:29,677
I thought you was
on a call anyway.

177
00:07:29,762 --> 00:07:32,388
- I probably talk to about three
actual people per shift.

178
00:07:32,474 --> 00:07:34,932
And at the times helen walks by,
I just make up a name

179
00:07:35,018 --> 00:07:38,478
and pretend that I'm on a call.
- That's smart.

180
00:07:38,563 --> 00:07:40,813
So tell me about the guys.

181
00:07:40,899 --> 00:07:43,149
Who's single? Who ain't?

182
00:07:44,861 --> 00:07:48,821
- Ok. Um... I'll introduce you
through conference.

183
00:07:51,159 --> 00:07:53,576
Ok. So those are
the two chris's.

184
00:07:53,661 --> 00:07:56,412
The light-skinned one,
that's kid.

185
00:07:56,498 --> 00:07:59,123
And the brown-skinned one
is play.

186
00:07:59,209 --> 00:08:03,419
So play is a dog
when it comes to women,

187
00:08:03,505 --> 00:08:05,338
but he's still really cool.
And kid is

188
00:08:05,381 --> 00:08:08,090
just a big sweetheart.
They both wanna be rappers.

189
00:08:08,176 --> 00:08:10,801
(phone ringing)
hello, sears.

190
00:08:10,887 --> 00:08:12,428
- What's up, cheryl?

191
00:08:12,514 --> 00:08:15,806
Girl, you get
finer by the day.

192
00:08:15,892 --> 00:08:18,309
Who do we have here?
- Sandy denton,

193
00:08:18,353 --> 00:08:20,478
meet martin lawrence. Martin,

194
00:08:20,563 --> 00:08:22,980
meet sandy.
- Nice to meet you.

195
00:08:23,066 --> 00:08:25,107
- Welcome to sears, girl.
Pleasure's all mine.

196
00:08:25,193 --> 00:08:28,194
- Girl, he think he gonna be
the next richard pryor.

197
00:08:28,238 --> 00:08:30,196
- Hold up. Who is chocolate

198
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,323
with the dimples
and the thriller jacket?

199
00:08:32,408 --> 00:08:35,785
- He's off-limits.
That's my love bug, hurby.

200
00:08:35,870 --> 00:08:37,995
- Ok.
- He's studying
to be a music producer.

201
00:08:38,081 --> 00:08:40,998
- That's smart.
Keep him close. Work together.

202
00:08:41,084 --> 00:08:43,501
Stay together. Play together.
That's smart.

203
00:08:43,586 --> 00:08:46,837
- It's not even like that.
I've just always been to myself.

204
00:08:46,881 --> 00:08:49,006
- Oh, well I ain't to myself!

205
00:08:49,092 --> 00:08:50,967
- I noticed that.

206
00:08:51,052 --> 00:08:53,344
(phone ringing)

207
00:08:53,429 --> 00:08:55,680
- hello, sears.
- Yo, whatever she told you

208
00:08:55,765 --> 00:08:57,932
about me, don't believe it.
- She said you is

209
00:08:58,017 --> 00:09:00,601
a ladies man and a nice emcee.
(kid laughs)

210
00:09:00,687 --> 00:09:03,521
- I mean, she ain't never lied.
- Well, bust somethin' then.

211
00:09:03,606 --> 00:09:06,148
- A'ight, give me a beat.
(beatboxing)

212
00:09:13,283 --> 00:09:15,241
- yes, mr. Wagner...

213
00:09:15,326 --> 00:09:17,785
Full warranty. Yes.

214
00:09:17,870 --> 00:09:21,539
I signed you up.
Girl, it's so easy.

215
00:09:21,624 --> 00:09:23,833
(cheryl and sandy laughing)

216
00:09:23,918 --> 00:09:25,543
what exactly is this?

217
00:09:25,628 --> 00:09:27,837
Is this like,
a project for school?

218
00:09:27,922 --> 00:09:30,423
- To be honest,
I don't even really know.

219
00:09:30,508 --> 00:09:33,175
He just asked me do I know any
girls that rap and I remembered

220
00:09:33,261 --> 00:09:35,386
you did that beatbox,
so I just thought...

221
00:09:35,471 --> 00:09:38,180
- Yeah, that's cool.
I mean, but don't get me wrong,

222
00:09:38,266 --> 00:09:40,057
I'm not no rapper though.

223
00:09:40,143 --> 00:09:42,268
But... The hell,
I could do it.

224
00:09:42,353 --> 00:09:46,606
Oh.
- Yo. Tuck your chain, yo.

225
00:09:46,649 --> 00:09:49,233
Anyway, what about going
to see them dudes strip?

226
00:09:49,277 --> 00:09:51,360
Yeah!
- Oh, girl, hell no!

227
00:09:51,446 --> 00:09:53,946
I already told you, I'm not down
for that nonsense. No.

228
00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:56,490
- Oh, my god, come on!
It's gonna be fun!

229
00:09:56,576 --> 00:09:59,285
My sister went last week.
She was like, "yo,

230
00:09:59,370 --> 00:10:02,121
I could see everything!"
and when she said everything,

231
00:10:02,165 --> 00:10:04,123
she's talkin' about...

232
00:10:04,167 --> 00:10:05,916
Everything!
- Look, no!

233
00:10:06,002 --> 00:10:08,127
I am a christian.
I was raised in the church.

234
00:10:08,171 --> 00:10:09,962
I'm not tryin' to go
to hell messin' with

235
00:10:10,006 --> 00:10:12,298
your heathen ass.
- You not! Just relax!

236
00:10:12,383 --> 00:10:14,884
Be loose! Have fun!

237
00:10:14,969 --> 00:10:17,637
(upbeat music)
- ooh...

238
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:20,097
Ha ha!
(cheering)

239
00:10:20,183 --> 00:10:22,141
(purring)

240
00:10:26,397 --> 00:10:28,898
- girl, I cannot believe I let
you talk me into coming here!

241
00:10:28,983 --> 00:10:31,776
- Yes, girl! And that's not even
the best one yet. He comin' up.

242
00:10:31,861 --> 00:10:34,320
- (man): Get your dollars up!
All the way from africa,

243
00:10:34,405 --> 00:10:38,407
the one and only elephant man!

244
00:10:38,493 --> 00:10:41,160
- Ooh, we about
to see everything!

245
00:10:41,204 --> 00:10:43,412
(cheering)

246
00:10:44,832 --> 00:10:47,249
- no!
- Would you stop--ooh!

247
00:10:47,335 --> 00:10:50,503
- He's coming for you.
- Ooh, girl, let it happen!

248
00:10:51,631 --> 00:10:53,464
This skirt is short,
and this man messin' around

249
00:10:53,549 --> 00:10:56,384
to get me pregnant. No, no, no.

250
00:10:56,469 --> 00:10:59,261
No...

251
00:11:02,225 --> 00:11:04,850
Oh, my god! Cheryl!

252
00:11:04,936 --> 00:11:07,937
Everyone can see my booty!
Oh, my god!

253
00:11:08,022 --> 00:11:10,189
- Get it, sandy!

254
00:11:11,109 --> 00:11:13,984
(indistinct shouting)

255
00:11:14,070 --> 00:11:15,653
look out!

256
00:11:15,738 --> 00:11:17,530
(laughing)

257
00:11:17,615 --> 00:11:19,865
do your thing, girl!

258
00:11:22,370 --> 00:11:24,537
He gon' get you pregnant, girl!

259
00:11:24,580 --> 00:11:26,831
(cheryl and sandy laughing)

260
00:11:26,916 --> 00:11:29,291
- girl, I'm telling you,
crazy stuff like that

261
00:11:29,377 --> 00:11:32,211
always happen to me.
- I know why:

262
00:11:32,255 --> 00:11:35,297
'cause your ass is
straight buck wild.

263
00:11:35,383 --> 00:11:37,049
And you wanna be a psychiatrist?

264
00:11:37,093 --> 00:11:39,343
- You're damn right!
Believe it or not,

265
00:11:39,429 --> 00:11:41,220
I'm actually
very good at solving

266
00:11:41,305 --> 00:11:43,055
other people's problems.

267
00:11:43,099 --> 00:11:45,433
And I can see into the future.
I've been able to do that

268
00:11:45,518 --> 00:11:47,727
since I was young.
- You mean like psychic?

269
00:11:47,812 --> 00:11:51,355
- Exactly. I just don't know
how to solve my own problems.

270
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:53,691
- Heh! I hear that.
I'm the same way.

271
00:11:53,776 --> 00:11:57,069
- The door open?
- But I ain't trying
to be a psychiatrist.

272
00:11:58,990 --> 00:12:00,990
So I see the hole in your floor
has gotten bigger.

273
00:12:01,075 --> 00:12:03,451
- Girl, so what? That ain't
nothin' but a reverse skylight.

274
00:12:03,536 --> 00:12:05,286
- So you're not
gonna address it?

275
00:12:05,371 --> 00:12:08,622
- No, I'm not!
That's character. I like it.

276
00:12:08,708 --> 00:12:11,167
(hip hop music)

277
00:12:13,087 --> 00:12:14,879
- ♪ get big, come on ♪

278
00:12:14,964 --> 00:12:17,047
- so what you tryin' to do?

279
00:12:17,133 --> 00:12:19,425
- Truthfully,
I don't have no idea.

280
00:12:19,469 --> 00:12:21,218
I mean, the only reason
why I enrolled in college

281
00:12:21,262 --> 00:12:23,179
was to make my parents happy.

282
00:12:23,264 --> 00:12:25,473
Most days, I don't
even go to class.

283
00:12:25,558 --> 00:12:27,516
- See, that would never fly
in my family.

284
00:12:27,602 --> 00:12:29,602
We jamaican. I got one sister

285
00:12:29,687 --> 00:12:32,563
that's a lawyer. I got another
sister that's a geologist.

286
00:12:32,648 --> 00:12:35,399
If you a denton,
you gotta make it happen.

287
00:12:36,652 --> 00:12:38,944
Yo, when I was 17,
my dad passed away.

288
00:12:38,988 --> 00:12:42,364
- Oh, really?
Girl, I'm really sorry.

289
00:12:42,450 --> 00:12:44,575
- I was messed up for a while.

290
00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:48,245
I started cuttin' myself
with a razor blade. It was bad.

291
00:12:48,331 --> 00:12:51,624
When he was alive,
my grades wasn't...

292
00:12:51,667 --> 00:12:55,127
Up to his expectations,
you know what I'm sayin'?

293
00:12:55,213 --> 00:12:56,754
I disappointed him.

294
00:12:56,839 --> 00:12:59,507
And that's why I made a promise
to myself that no matter what,

295
00:12:59,592 --> 00:13:02,551
I'd make something
out of myself.

296
00:13:04,096 --> 00:13:06,430
Anyway, hurby know
where you went tonight?

297
00:13:06,516 --> 00:13:08,557
- Girl, no! And don't you
tell him either!

298
00:13:08,643 --> 00:13:11,352
- I'm not! So he must be like,

299
00:13:11,437 --> 00:13:14,313
the jealous type?
(both laughing)

300
00:13:14,357 --> 00:13:17,900
so what you think? Y'all gonna
get married, have kids?

301
00:13:17,985 --> 00:13:20,277
- I don't know! I mean...

302
00:13:20,363 --> 00:13:22,154
I'd be lying if I said I ain't
thought about it once

303
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,449
or twice.
- Mm-hmm.

304
00:13:25,535 --> 00:13:27,993
- You know, one thing
I really love about him is

305
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:29,703
he believes
that he could do anything.

306
00:13:29,789 --> 00:13:32,248
And he makes me believe
that I can too.

307
00:13:33,751 --> 00:13:36,502
- I mean, it don't hurt
that he's cute.

308
00:13:36,546 --> 00:13:39,672
He corny...
- (both): ...But he cute!

309
00:13:39,757 --> 00:13:42,925
- Yeah, he is.
(both laughing)

310
00:13:43,010 --> 00:13:45,678
- ah!
(loud music from other car)

311
00:13:45,721 --> 00:13:47,429
oh, I know
they ain't tryin' to race.

312
00:13:47,515 --> 00:13:49,223
- Sandy, no. Sandy, no.

313
00:13:49,308 --> 00:13:51,684
- This car go fast. Wait.
- No...

314
00:13:51,769 --> 00:13:54,854
- Oh, you embarrassed now?

315
00:13:54,939 --> 00:13:58,190
(engine revving)
girl, this car go fast!

316
00:14:00,945 --> 00:14:02,486
(both engines revving)

317
00:14:02,572 --> 00:14:04,405
(tires screeching)

318
00:14:04,490 --> 00:14:06,615
woo!

319
00:14:06,701 --> 00:14:10,119
I told you I could drive! Woo!
- (cheryl laughing): Sandy...

320
00:14:10,204 --> 00:14:13,163
- (hurby): Hold onto those
haitian good luck coins

321
00:14:13,249 --> 00:14:16,292
'cause we gonna need 'em.

322
00:14:16,377 --> 00:14:18,252
- Yo, she comin'.
She live all the way

323
00:14:18,337 --> 00:14:20,379
in south jamaica so it take her
a minute to get here.

324
00:14:20,423 --> 00:14:22,882
- Time is money, cher.
I rented all this equipment.

325
00:14:22,967 --> 00:14:25,467
If I don't get it back by 9
a.M., they charging my double.

326
00:14:25,553 --> 00:14:27,386
- I put my money up too,
not just you.

327
00:14:27,471 --> 00:14:31,223
We in this together,
so relax, love bug.

328
00:14:31,267 --> 00:14:33,893
- I know. I know that.

329
00:14:33,936 --> 00:14:36,186
- Mm-hmm.

330
00:14:36,272 --> 00:14:39,023
- (woman): Hurby!
-<i> Oui, maman?</i>

331
00:14:39,108 --> 00:14:41,442
(speaking creole)

332
00:14:41,527 --> 00:14:43,152
- go.

333
00:14:43,237 --> 00:14:45,821
- Hey.

334
00:14:45,907 --> 00:14:48,949
- Yo, sorry I'm late.

335
00:14:49,035 --> 00:14:50,993
- You speak creole?
- Yeah, I'm haitian.

336
00:14:51,078 --> 00:14:53,871
- Jamaican.
- That's what's up. Island vibe.

337
00:14:53,956 --> 00:14:56,457
- You ain't doin' no voodoo
or nothin' down here though?

338
00:14:56,542 --> 00:14:59,585
- No. I only cast
my spells on the tracks.
Yo, ladies, let's get started.

339
00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:01,712
- You got the lyrics I gave you?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

340
00:15:01,756 --> 00:15:05,049
I got everything memorized
on that page, everything.

341
00:15:06,302 --> 00:15:08,802
Yo, you sure you want me to say
everything on this page?

00:15:08,888 --> 00:15:10,554

- That's the exact point!

346
00:15:17,229 --> 00:15:19,605
A diss track is gonna
get us recognized.

347
00:15:19,649 --> 00:15:22,650
Hip hop is all about attitude,
all right? We gotta go in there,

348
00:15:22,735 --> 00:15:24,610
let 'em know we here

00:15:24,695 --> 00:15:27,571
All right? They come in with
the show? We come with

350
00:15:27,657 --> 00:15:29,615
the showstopper.
All right, look.

351
00:15:29,659 --> 00:15:32,034
You know marley marl
from mr. Magic's rap attack?

352
00:15:32,119 --> 00:15:34,703
- Yeah, who don't know him?
- That's my man.

353
00:15:34,789 --> 00:15:36,956
- That's true.
He do know him for real.

354
00:15:37,041 --> 00:15:40,042
- He's so excited
about this song.

355
00:15:40,127 --> 00:15:42,670
- I know. But if it
gets me out of queens,

356
00:15:42,755 --> 00:15:44,630

serious about it too.

357
00:15:44,715 --> 00:15:46,632
- Enough talking, ladies.

(music stops)
what the hell was that, sandra?

365
00:16:04,568 --> 00:16:07,069
You were way off beat! Something
wrong with your headphones?

366
00:16:07,154 --> 00:16:09,780
- Nah, they good!
I can hear. I can hear it.

367
00:16:11,283 --> 00:16:13,117

00:16:14,996 --> 00:16:17,579
- I sounded like
I was on the beat.
- No, you wasn't.

370
00:16:17,665 --> 00:16:19,415
It sounds wack.

371
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:21,834
Yo, I wrote it a certain way
with a certain cadence

372
00:16:21,877 --> 00:16:24,878
so you could ride that beat.
All right? I need you to say it

373
00:16:24,964 --> 00:16:26,672
exactly the way I wrote it.
Can you do that?

374
00:16:26,757 --> 00:16:29,591
- A'ight.
- Let's run it again.

375
00:16:29,677 --> 00:16:32,177

376
00:16:32,221 --> 00:16:34,346

What are you doin'?
- I, uh, I was tryin'

384
00:16:55,745 --> 00:16:58,037
to read ahead.
I just got... My fault.

385
00:16:58,122 --> 00:17:00,372
- Here, let me explain
something to you.

386
00:17:00,416 --> 00:17:03,083
Every time I stop the tape,
that's wasted tape.

387
00:17:03,169 --> 00:17:05,085
That's wasted time.
That's wasted money.

388
00:17:05,171 --> 00:17:07,796
You understand?
Don't look ahead.

389
00:17:07,882 --> 00:17:10,674
Just say the words that I wrote.
And can you please,

390
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,177
please stay on beat?

391
00:17:13,262 --> 00:17:16,346
I mean, cheryl can do it.
Why can't you?

392
00:17:16,432 --> 00:17:18,015
- I ain't cheryl.

393
00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:20,893
And I already told you
that I wasn't no rapper.

394
00:17:20,936 --> 00:17:23,062
We ain't even getting
paid to do this, yo.

395
00:17:23,147 --> 00:17:25,481
(sandy sighs)

396
00:17:26,984 --> 00:17:29,234
yo, a negro take
one little music class

397
00:17:29,278 --> 00:17:31,904
and he think he barry gordy.
- Excuse me, what was that?

398
00:17:31,947 --> 00:17:33,197
- What?

399
00:17:33,282 --> 00:17:35,032
- Hey, guys, can we
just chill out for a second?

400
00:17:35,117 --> 00:17:37,451
We got a lot of work
ahead of us.

401
00:17:37,536 --> 00:17:39,995
- Yeah, you better
talk to your man.

402
00:17:40,081 --> 00:17:43,248
- Ugh. Hold on.

403
00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:47,836
Can you please be
a little patient with her?

404
00:17:49,465 --> 00:17:51,215
- I don't know
if this gonna work out.

405
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:53,550
- This is new to all of us.

406
00:17:53,636 --> 00:17:56,261
- Ahem!

407
00:17:56,347 --> 00:17:59,098
- See what I'm saying?

408
00:18:01,018 --> 00:18:03,602
(exhales sharply)
(people laughing)

409
00:18:03,687 --> 00:18:05,771
- I'm so damn sick
of not having money,

410
00:18:05,856 --> 00:18:07,689
I don't even know what to do!

411
00:18:07,775 --> 00:18:09,608
'cause see,
when a man got money,

412
00:18:09,693 --> 00:18:11,860
he can do things
that a broke man can't do.

413
00:18:11,946 --> 00:18:13,695
(indistinct murmuring)
for example,

414
00:18:13,781 --> 00:18:17,407
when a man got money, he could
tell his lady something like...

415
00:18:17,451 --> 00:18:19,535
Shut the hell up!
(laughing)

416
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:22,412
and she'll shut up, won't she?
So, what do y'all think?

417
00:18:22,498 --> 00:18:25,415
Is it good?
- Martin, you hilarious! Ha ha!

418
00:18:25,501 --> 00:18:28,001
What you think? He funny, right?
- I'd keep working on it.

419
00:18:28,087 --> 00:18:30,796
- Helen, helen, helen.
- 5-0, yo!

420
00:18:30,881 --> 00:18:33,882
(indistinct murmuring)

421
00:18:36,971 --> 00:18:39,805
- so, is it the refrigerator
or the stove?

422
00:18:39,849 --> 00:18:43,392
Just... You can let me know
if you're interested or not.

423
00:18:43,477 --> 00:18:45,727
- Ladies, would you
come with me, please?

424
00:18:45,813 --> 00:18:48,063
I'd like to see you
in my office.

425
00:18:49,608 --> 00:18:51,567
(phones ringing)

426
00:18:51,652 --> 00:18:53,735
(indistinct chattering)

427
00:18:58,075 --> 00:19:01,660
- (man): Mm, mm, mm...

428
00:19:02,454 --> 00:19:03,787
- Mm.

429
00:19:03,873 --> 00:19:06,415
- Ooh! Y'all in trouble!
- Shut up.

430
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:08,917
- (man): Damn!

431
00:19:10,546 --> 00:19:13,005
- I've been going over
your sales records,

432
00:19:13,090 --> 00:19:15,090
and I have to say you're both

433
00:19:15,176 --> 00:19:17,009
doing exceptional work.

434
00:19:17,094 --> 00:19:20,804
- Um... Thanks.
- You're welcome.

435
00:19:20,890 --> 00:19:23,682
- And since we like
to reward hard workers,

436
00:19:23,726 --> 00:19:25,767
I'm giving you each a raise.
Two dollars an hour.

437
00:19:25,853 --> 00:19:27,686
How does that sound?
- Hold up. Wait. So we gettin'

438
00:19:27,771 --> 00:19:29,104
a raise?
- Yeah.

439
00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:30,647
Congratulations.
You've earned it.

440
00:19:30,691 --> 00:19:33,317
(both laughing and shrieking)

441
00:19:33,402 --> 00:19:37,362
- (sandy): We ain't fired!
- (cheryl): We got a raise!

442
00:19:37,406 --> 00:19:39,114
- Hell, no!
- Look at this!

443
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,033
- Can I get a loan?
- (sandy): No!

444
00:19:41,076 --> 00:19:43,243
- You can afford it!
- Man, they can afford it.

445
00:19:43,329 --> 00:19:44,870
- Ha!

446
00:19:44,914 --> 00:19:47,080
- (sandy): I thought you said
hurby knew people.

447
00:19:47,166 --> 00:19:50,792
- He do! He sent "showstopper"
to all kinds of record people.

448
00:19:50,878 --> 00:19:54,046
It takes time.
- All right.

449
00:19:54,089 --> 00:19:57,216
Girl, let's go out tonight.
- That'd be fresh,

450
00:19:57,259 --> 00:20:00,177
but... I can't hang out tonight,
I'm supposed to be at--

451
00:20:00,262 --> 00:20:02,554
- oh, let me guess,
'cause it's always hurby.

452
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,514
Hurby this, hurby that. Pfft.

453
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:05,557
- That's not true.

454
00:20:06,936 --> 00:20:08,685
Ok. Well, so what if it is?

455
00:20:08,771 --> 00:20:10,562
But what do you want from me?
That's my man.

456
00:20:10,648 --> 00:20:13,565
- I ain't say nothin'.

457
00:20:13,651 --> 00:20:15,734
Hold up. Hold up.
("showstopper" plays)

458
00:20:15,778 --> 00:20:17,736

459
00:20:19,907 --> 00:20:22,074

So hurry up.

484
00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:29,433
why we performing
at a high school.

485
00:21:29,518 --> 00:21:32,269
Ain't gettin' paid.
I don't understand.

486
00:21:32,354 --> 00:21:34,187
- Sandra, I don't
have time to explain

487
00:21:34,273 --> 00:21:36,481
every little thing to you.
Just trust me.

488
00:21:36,567 --> 00:21:38,817
- You been memorizing
the lyrics I wrote?

489
00:21:38,902 --> 00:21:40,527
- Yeah.
- Good.

490
00:21:40,612 --> 00:21:43,488
Make sure you're on beat.
- But... Hurby,

491
00:21:43,532 --> 00:21:45,240
do we gotta perform
at doug e. Fresh's

492
00:21:45,326 --> 00:21:47,409

- Yup. Goin' into the belly

493
00:21:47,494 --> 00:21:49,161
of the beast,
see if we got what it takes.

494
00:21:49,204 --> 00:21:51,621
- But we ain't even
ready like that yet.

495
00:21:51,665 --> 00:21:53,790
- Yo, sandra, chill.

653
00:28:39,531 --> 00:28:41,072

654

You know what? I'm sweet tooth.
Got a taste for talent.

655
00:28:43,618 --> 00:28:45,618
Y'all headed straight
to the top. Get in close.

656
00:28:45,704 --> 00:28:47,662
I wanna take a picture before
you forget the little people.

657
00:28:47,748 --> 00:28:50,081
Come on, close, man!
She gon' be a problem.

658
00:28:50,125 --> 00:28:52,083
Ol' salty right here.

659
00:28:52,127 --> 00:28:54,836
Say cheddar for me.

660
00:28:54,921 --> 00:28:57,088
Cheddar!

661
00:28:57,174 --> 00:28:59,382
I'll make sure you get a copy.

663
00:29:02,137 --> 00:29:04,429
♪♪

664
00:29:04,473 --> 00:29:06,765
(indistinct chatter)

665
00:29:06,850 --> 00:29:09,809
- (man): Over here! Over here!

666
00:29:09,895 --> 00:29:11,311
- (rasping): Cheryl, you could
not pay me to leave

667
00:29:11,396 --> 00:29:14,439
this party tonight.
- Bro, do you hear your voice?

668
00:29:14,483 --> 00:29:16,357
You need to be home in bed
or we're never gonna be ready

669
00:29:16,443 --> 00:29:19,194
for these shows.
- Uh-uh. Every rapper I ever

670
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:21,905
wanted to meet is
in here tonight.

671
00:29:21,948 --> 00:29:24,657
Especially that one.
- He was

672
00:29:24,743 --> 00:29:27,368
barely in the movie.
How old is he, like 17?

673
00:29:27,454 --> 00:29:29,245
- Bro, do not mess this up
for me tonight!

674
00:29:29,289 --> 00:29:32,040
I asked around,
and I know his name.

675
00:29:32,125 --> 00:29:33,374
It's ll cool j.

676
00:29:33,460 --> 00:29:36,211
And I'm takin' his young ass
home with me tonight.

677
00:29:36,296 --> 00:29:38,338
- All right, well, go talk
to him. See if he like girls

678
00:29:38,423 --> 00:29:41,174
that sound like that.
- What I wanna do is just put

679
00:29:41,259 --> 00:29:44,260
my vibe out there,
and he gonna come over to me.

680
00:29:44,304 --> 00:29:46,387
- All right.
Let's see the vibe, then.

681
00:29:46,473 --> 00:29:49,140
Work it, sandy!

682
00:29:49,226 --> 00:29:51,142
Boom! Yeah.

683
00:29:51,228 --> 00:29:53,144
I'm gonna need some more
champagne and I'm gonna go find

684
00:29:53,188 --> 00:29:55,647
my man. Good luck with the vibe.
- You don't like the vibe

685
00:29:55,732 --> 00:29:58,149
that I'm throwin' out?
- Dj, dj!

686
00:29:58,193 --> 00:30:00,485
- Uh-huh, uh-huh!
- What's up? Yo, play
that new track for me.

687
00:30:00,529 --> 00:30:03,154
- I got you. I got you, man.
- Yeah! Sick. That's sick.

688
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,990
(upbeat hip hop music playing)

689
00:30:11,081 --> 00:30:13,498
- hey, mr. Love bug!

690
00:30:13,583 --> 00:30:15,834
- You ok, sweetheart?

691
00:30:15,919 --> 00:30:18,920
- Yeah, I'm fine. I just...
Got a little cold.

692
00:30:19,005 --> 00:30:20,839
- Stay away from me then.

693
00:30:20,882 --> 00:30:24,259
(man chuckles)
how you doin', love? I'm markie.

694
00:30:24,344 --> 00:30:26,261
- I know who you are.
I love the fat boys.

695
00:30:26,346 --> 00:30:29,264
I'm sandy.
- So what'd you
think of the movie?

696
00:30:29,349 --> 00:30:31,140
- I thought you did good.

697
00:30:31,226 --> 00:30:33,893
How was it seeing yourself
on the big screen?

698
00:30:33,979 --> 00:30:37,021
- Pretty crazy to be honest.
Had to pinch myself a few times.

699
00:30:37,065 --> 00:30:39,691
I sure never thought rappin'
would get me here. Keep doin'

700
00:30:39,734 --> 00:30:41,526
what you're doin'.
You'll get there too one day.

701
00:30:41,570 --> 00:30:45,071
- How you know who I am?
- I asked around. And...

702
00:30:45,156 --> 00:30:47,657
Your name is on the back of
your jacket. It's kind of hard

703
00:30:47,742 --> 00:30:50,368
to miss. I want
you to get better

704
00:30:50,453 --> 00:30:52,662
'cause when you do,
I wanna take you out.

705
00:30:52,747 --> 00:30:55,039
- That's sweet.
- So is that a yes?

706
00:30:55,125 --> 00:30:56,708
(cheering)

707
00:30:56,751 --> 00:31:00,003
- why your girl always movin'
around like a groupie?

708
00:31:00,088 --> 00:31:02,547
Lookin' cheap.
- Hurby! That's markie

709
00:31:02,632 --> 00:31:05,383
of the fat boys.
Yo, she's just talkin'.

710
00:31:05,427 --> 00:31:07,218
Ok? Relax.

711
00:31:07,262 --> 00:31:09,888
Let's enjoy this, please?
- All right. All right.

712
00:31:15,103 --> 00:31:17,854
(fast-paced hip hop music)
(elevator bell dings)

713
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:21,316
ok.

714
00:31:21,401 --> 00:31:23,443
I asked all around.
No one's interested in signin'

715
00:31:23,528 --> 00:31:26,821
a girls' rap group.
This guy might be our shot.

716
00:31:26,907 --> 00:31:29,616
(phone ringing)

717
00:31:29,701 --> 00:31:31,701
(hurby sighs)

718
00:31:31,786 --> 00:31:33,912
hurby azor, here to meet
eddie o'loughlin.

719
00:31:33,955 --> 00:31:36,581
<i> Thanks for meeting with us,</i>
<i> mr. O'loughlin.</i>

720
00:31:36,666 --> 00:31:39,584
- Just call me eddie o.
So your song's

721
00:31:39,669 --> 00:31:43,421
gettin' a little bit of play.
Since bls broke it...

722
00:31:43,506 --> 00:31:45,715
It's gettin' added.
Philly, d.C.,

723
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:47,592
cleveland. You know,
I've been thinking

724
00:31:47,677 --> 00:31:51,387
of maybe taking a chance
on a female rap act but...

725
00:31:51,431 --> 00:31:53,890
I don't know.
- Well, if you liked

726
00:31:53,934 --> 00:31:56,351
"showstopper," I can deliver
a full album that's even hotter.

727
00:31:56,436 --> 00:31:58,144
Speaking of d.C.,
they got a style of music

728
00:31:58,229 --> 00:32:01,356
down there called go-go that I
think would sound so funky

729
00:32:01,441 --> 00:32:04,025
under a rap song. I got
100 ideas. That's just one.

730
00:32:04,110 --> 00:32:06,611
- That's great to hear but,
you know, as you can see,

731
00:32:06,655 --> 00:32:09,614
we're a small label and I don't
really have a big budget.

732
00:32:09,699 --> 00:32:12,784
- Fine with me.
I work fast and cheap.

733
00:32:12,827 --> 00:32:14,494
- Ahem.

734
00:32:14,579 --> 00:32:17,664
- I couldn't do this without
cheryl. She's my inspiration.

735
00:32:17,749 --> 00:32:19,749
(distant phone ringing)
(distant honking)

736
00:32:21,378 --> 00:32:23,628
- tell you what. I'll give you

737
00:32:23,672 --> 00:32:26,506
five grand for another single.
If it comes out well,

738
00:32:26,591 --> 00:32:28,508
I'll give you nine grand more

739
00:32:28,593 --> 00:32:30,760
for a full lp.

740
00:32:30,804 --> 00:32:33,638
Deal?

741
00:32:35,141 --> 00:32:37,141
- Ho ho ho!
(laughing)

742
00:32:37,227 --> 00:32:39,560
donations for
the children's hospital!

743
00:32:39,646 --> 00:32:42,355
- Ah! $14 000!

744
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,316
Are you kiddin' me? I'm gonna
make five albums with that!

745
00:32:45,402 --> 00:32:47,735
- I am buggin'!
This don't even seem real!

746
00:32:47,821 --> 00:32:50,446
I need to find a pay phone
and call sandy right now!

747
00:32:50,532 --> 00:32:52,824
- Whoa! Whoa! Slow down, baby.
Slow down. Slow down. Slow down.

748
00:32:52,867 --> 00:32:55,660
- What?
- There's something
we need to talk about.

749
00:32:55,704 --> 00:32:57,453
There's a reason
why I didn't invite her

750
00:32:57,539 --> 00:32:59,497
to this meeting.
- Ok.

751
00:32:59,582 --> 00:33:01,582
- The two of us...

752
00:33:01,668 --> 00:33:03,334
We're the group.

753
00:33:03,420 --> 00:33:05,336
We're the creative team.

754
00:33:05,380 --> 00:33:07,547
The way I look at it,
sandra's just a supporting role

755
00:33:07,632 --> 00:33:09,924
in all this.
- Supporting how? What does

756
00:33:10,010 --> 00:33:13,011
that even mean?
- What I'm saying. I mean,

757
00:33:13,054 --> 00:33:15,013
I'm doin' all the writing
and the producing.

758
00:33:15,056 --> 00:33:17,473
You do most of the rappin'.

759
00:33:17,559 --> 00:33:19,809
She's just there
to complete the picture.

760
00:33:19,853 --> 00:33:21,519
- I can't believe
you're saying this!

761
00:33:21,604 --> 00:33:23,187
Sandy's my girl.
I always figured we would

762
00:33:23,231 --> 00:33:26,232
split it three ways.
- What are you saying, cher?

763
00:33:26,317 --> 00:33:27,984
Why would we do that?

764
00:33:28,028 --> 00:33:31,195
It was my vision
that got us here.

765
00:33:31,239 --> 00:33:33,031
You know what I'm saying?
I'm creating

766
00:33:33,116 --> 00:33:36,284
most of the record.
I'm doin' all of the work.

767
00:33:36,369 --> 00:33:38,536
Why... Why wouldn't I get
a bigger share?

768
00:33:38,580 --> 00:33:40,580
- I mean yeah, I get it.
That makes sense.

769
00:33:40,665 --> 00:33:43,791
- Yeah! And since you're doing
most of the rapping...

770
00:33:43,877 --> 00:33:46,002
Why should she get paid
as much as you do?

771
00:33:46,087 --> 00:33:48,421
(honking)
(indistinct chatter)

772
00:33:48,506 --> 00:33:52,091
cher, baby...

773
00:33:52,177 --> 00:33:54,844
I'm not telling you
what to do with your money.

774
00:33:54,929 --> 00:33:57,221
And I know this is
your girl and all.

775
00:33:57,307 --> 00:33:59,932
If you wanna split it
down the middle with her,

776
00:34:00,018 --> 00:34:01,809
that's on you.

777
00:34:01,895 --> 00:34:04,395
- It just wouldn't even feel
right taking more than her.

778
00:34:04,481 --> 00:34:06,814
Your voice didn't work
with mine, remember?

779
00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:08,733
She make this group work.

780
00:34:10,737 --> 00:34:12,570
- Like I said,
it's on you, baby.

781
00:34:18,828 --> 00:34:21,204
- What are you doin'?

782
00:34:21,247 --> 00:34:22,580
- What's it look like I'm doin'?

783
00:34:22,624 --> 00:34:24,415
I'm hailin' a cab!

784
00:34:24,501 --> 00:34:26,709
We make too much money
to ride the subway now!

785
00:34:26,795 --> 00:34:29,295
(sandy laughs)
let's go!

786
00:34:29,380 --> 00:34:31,589
(hip hop-style christmas music)

787
00:34:38,389 --> 00:34:40,848
- yeah.
- (markie): [and?]

788
00:34:40,934 --> 00:34:43,017
- I mean, I don't know.
That's a big step.

789
00:34:43,103 --> 00:34:45,770
I only been talking to you
for like a month.

790
00:34:45,814 --> 00:34:48,106
(doorbell rings)
baby, hold on one second, ok?

791
00:34:53,655 --> 00:34:56,239
- Girl, I got some news!
- I'm on the phone! What's up?!

792
00:34:56,324 --> 00:34:59,700
- Hang up! This is important!
- Ah! Hey, baby. Yes.

793
00:34:59,786 --> 00:35:02,620
I'm gonna call you
back tonight. Ok? Yeah.

794
00:35:02,664 --> 00:35:05,164
All right. Bye.

795
00:35:05,250 --> 00:35:08,543
- Sandy, you not gonna believe
what's going on, girl!

796
00:35:08,628 --> 00:35:10,128
(sucks teeth)

797
00:35:10,171 --> 00:35:12,755
- anyway, she on my nerves.
- Well, all that's

798
00:35:12,841 --> 00:35:15,800
about to change.
We got a record deal!

799
00:35:15,885 --> 00:35:18,719
- You lyin'.
- I'm serious.

800
00:35:18,805 --> 00:35:21,264
- You serious?

801
00:35:21,349 --> 00:35:23,474
So what do we do next?!

802
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,352
What we gotta sign? How
much money we gettin'?
Are we gonna move?!

803
00:35:26,437 --> 00:35:28,980
- Sandy, listen!
I don't know all that yet.

804
00:35:29,065 --> 00:35:31,065
But what I do know is, yo,
we gotta take this seriously

805
00:35:31,151 --> 00:35:34,152
and give it 100 percent.
Like, this is our life now.

806
00:35:34,195 --> 00:35:36,821
- Yeah. Yeah.
- I'm droppin' out of school.

807
00:35:36,865 --> 00:35:39,365
- Word?
- Yeah, and you should too.

808
00:35:39,450 --> 00:35:42,743
- Nah. The one thing
I promised my dad is that I was

809
00:35:42,829 --> 00:35:45,037
going to get my education
and I gotta get it, yo.

810
00:35:45,123 --> 00:35:47,999
I can't quit school...

811
00:35:49,377 --> 00:35:51,127
...But I can take
a semester off.

812
00:35:51,212 --> 00:35:53,713
But I can't drop out!
But we definitely

813
00:35:53,798 --> 00:35:55,798
quittin' sears!
- Yeah!

814
00:35:55,884 --> 00:35:57,675
- What's everybody

815
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,678

00:36:00,763 --> 00:36:02,847

(laughing)

817
00:36:02,891 --> 00:36:05,099

818
00:36:05,185 --> 00:36:08,352
Come love me up.

819
00:36:08,438 --> 00:36:10,479
Oh, I hope you know
what you're doing.

820
00:36:10,565 --> 00:36:12,857
- Yeah, mommy.
It's fine! It's not like

821
00:36:12,901 --> 00:36:15,943
I'm doin' it by myself.
I got her back. She got mine.

822
00:36:16,029 --> 00:36:18,112
We'll be fine.

823
00:36:18,198 --> 00:36:19,989
- Ok...

824
00:36:20,074 --> 00:36:22,658

827
00:36:33,588 --> 00:36:35,922
- (sandy): Yeah, that's my cue!
- (cheryl): Here we are!

828
00:36:36,007 --> 00:36:38,049
(indistinct chatter)

829
00:36:39,886 --> 00:36:42,345
- my man. We're salt-n-pepa.
We go on at 11.

830
00:36:42,430 --> 00:36:44,096
Can you let 'em know we here?
- Who do I look like,

831
00:36:44,182 --> 00:36:47,558
boo boo the fool?
This ain't salt-n-pepa.

832
00:36:47,644 --> 00:36:49,727
Salt-n-pepa are already here.
They got here an hour ago.

833
00:36:49,771 --> 00:36:52,563
- The hell you talkin' about,
man? This is the group!

834
00:36:52,607 --> 00:36:54,273
Yo, you must be confused.
Talk to your people.

835
00:36:54,359 --> 00:36:57,693
- Did I stutter, my man?
I said the group's already here.

836
00:36:57,779 --> 00:37:00,655
So you, laverne
and shirley here can go

837
00:37:00,740 --> 00:37:02,823
kick rocks.
- No. Look, negro.

838
00:37:02,909 --> 00:37:04,700
We are salt-n-pepa.
So what you talkin' 'bout

839
00:37:04,744 --> 00:37:07,370
we already here
when we just got here?

840
00:37:07,455 --> 00:37:10,248
(ominous music)

841
00:37:10,291 --> 00:37:13,459
- (echoing): I'll make sure
you get a copy.

842
00:37:13,544 --> 00:37:15,253
- (man): All right, fellas.

843
00:37:15,296 --> 00:37:17,880
- What's goin' on?

844
00:37:17,924 --> 00:37:19,799
- Yo, it's sweet tooth
and lamont.

845
00:37:19,884 --> 00:37:21,926
It's these two dudes
I talked to about comin' on

846
00:37:22,011 --> 00:37:24,053
as managers, but they asked
for too much money

847
00:37:24,138 --> 00:37:27,139
so I told 'em to step.
- What?!

848
00:37:27,225 --> 00:37:30,059
- I think they brought in fake
salt-n-pepas to steal our gig!

849
00:37:30,144 --> 00:37:33,020
- What? Fake salt-n-pepa?

850
00:37:33,106 --> 00:37:35,439
- Yo, I'm gonna handle this,
all right? I'll be back.

851
00:37:35,525 --> 00:37:37,608
- Where you goin'?!
- Stay here! I'll be back!

852
00:37:37,694 --> 00:37:39,568
- Yo, how we goin'
to get paid tonight?

853
00:37:39,654 --> 00:37:41,654
(sandy sighs)
I'm gonna call my sisters.

854
00:37:41,739 --> 00:37:43,489
I'm not havin' them
come down here.

See, me and my peoples?

884
00:39:33,476 --> 00:39:35,726
We from the slap a ho tribe.

885
00:39:35,812 --> 00:39:37,937

(hurby grunts)

886
00:39:38,022 --> 00:39:40,356
thought you was trying
to hex me with some voodoo!

887
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,275
(coughing)
go on, lick him up again.

888
00:39:43,361 --> 00:39:45,861
(thudding)
(hurby grunting and coughing)

889
00:39:45,947 --> 00:39:48,072
- (man): You like that?
- Woo!

890
00:39:48,116 --> 00:39:50,908
How that taste, hurby? Whoa!

891
00:39:50,993 --> 00:39:53,285
- Yo! Get the hell up
off my man!

892
00:39:53,371 --> 00:39:55,538
- You better back up 'cause I
been waiting to shake your salt.

893
00:39:55,623 --> 00:39:58,416
- Yeah, right.
I'm from brooklyn.
I'll beat both your asses.

894
00:39:58,459 --> 00:40:01,585
- Hey! Muzzle this mutt.
- Ah!

895
00:40:01,629 --> 00:40:05,172
(high-pitched tone ringing)
- you asked for this, hurby!

896
00:40:05,258 --> 00:40:07,425
(tense music)

897
00:40:12,723 --> 00:40:15,933
- listen, what happened was
completely foul.

898
00:40:16,018 --> 00:40:18,811
I shouldn't have been dealing
with those ghetto hustlers.

899
00:40:18,896 --> 00:40:20,479
I apologize.
- Yeah, that's what happens

900
00:40:20,565 --> 00:40:23,441
when you deal with pimps.
They gon' treat you like a ho.

901
00:40:25,695 --> 00:40:27,903
- Yo, we been
too focused on the show.

902
00:40:27,947 --> 00:40:29,738
We need to be
about this business.

903
00:40:29,824 --> 00:40:32,116
That's why I brought in
my man j.P.

904
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,493
He's gonna be handlin'
all of the logistics,

905
00:40:34,579 --> 00:40:36,203
the promotion,
bookin' the shows,

906
00:40:36,289 --> 00:40:38,622
so forth and so on.
Tell 'em like you told me, j.

907
00:40:38,666 --> 00:40:40,624
- One of the reasons why those
dudes were able to pull off

908
00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:43,794
that scam is because there's
no publicity photos of you two.

909
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,213
See, fans, they know about
the songs, but they don't know

910
00:40:46,299 --> 00:40:48,841
what you look like.
That changes starting now.

911
00:40:48,926 --> 00:40:51,302
- Yeah, and I also
trademarked our names,

912
00:40:51,387 --> 00:40:53,929
so anybody thinking
they gonna get over on us,

913
00:40:53,973 --> 00:40:55,681
we takin' their ass to court
and we suin'.

914
00:40:55,766 --> 00:40:58,893
You have a question, sandra?
- Yes, I do.

915
00:40:58,978 --> 00:41:00,895
Why were you dealin'
with them thugs anyway?

916
00:41:00,980 --> 00:41:02,980
- Look, I apologized.
I ain't mike tyson.

917
00:41:03,024 --> 00:41:06,150
- I know 'cause you was
runnin' like carl lewis

918
00:41:06,235 --> 00:41:08,110
I heard.
- You heard?

919
00:41:08,196 --> 00:41:10,404
Whatever. We're only
workin' with people

920
00:41:10,490 --> 00:41:12,990
we know, keepin' it in house.
That's why I brought in

921
00:41:13,075 --> 00:41:14,617
my brother, steve.
He's my right hand.

922
00:41:14,702 --> 00:41:16,660
It's only right
he handle the choreography.

923
00:41:16,704 --> 00:41:19,371
- I got y'all. I'm gonna have
y'all lookin' fresh.

924
00:41:19,457 --> 00:41:21,332
- Quick question.
Latonya, is it?

925
00:41:21,417 --> 00:41:24,293
- Latoya.
- Ok. That's cute. Uh, you do

926
00:41:24,337 --> 00:41:26,128
business with j.P. As well?
- No.

927
00:41:26,214 --> 00:41:29,340
I dj.
- Yeah, I was gettin' to that.

928
00:41:29,383 --> 00:41:31,133
I'm bringin' latoya
into the group.

929
00:41:31,177 --> 00:41:34,178
- Meet your new dj, spinderella.

930
00:41:34,222 --> 00:41:37,014
(hip hop music)

931
00:41:43,397 --> 00:41:45,439
(door shuts)
- yo. It's so hot.

932
00:41:45,525 --> 00:41:48,651
Gordon, you got anything
to drink? I'm dyin' in here!

933
00:41:48,736 --> 00:41:50,653
- Yeah, yeah, I think I got a
soda in the fridge or something.

934
00:41:50,738 --> 00:41:52,821
- No! No soda. No soda.
Have some water.

935
00:41:52,865 --> 00:41:54,615
- I don't want no water!
(synth track plays)

936
00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:57,409
- that's you?
- You already know how I do.

937
00:41:57,495 --> 00:41:59,453
(indistinct murmuring)

938
00:41:59,539 --> 00:42:01,664
- sandra, we're here to work.
I need your vocals loose.

939
00:42:01,707 --> 00:42:03,999
- I can't get a sip?
- No, you can't!

940
00:42:04,085 --> 00:42:06,460
- But I thought you said
the album was basically done.

941
00:42:06,546 --> 00:42:08,879
- It is, cher. It is.
All we need is a b-side

942
00:42:08,965 --> 00:42:12,258
for<i> tramp,</i> all right?
Gordy won't leave brooklyn

943
00:42:12,343 --> 00:42:15,511
and I need his keyboard sound,
so... We here.

944
00:42:15,596 --> 00:42:18,973
All right? Any other questions?

945
00:42:19,058 --> 00:42:20,849
Yo, gordy, play that synth sound
for me again. Come on.

946
00:42:20,935 --> 00:42:23,227
- Wait, you actually liked that?
I was just messing around, man.

947
00:42:23,312 --> 00:42:25,396
That's supposed to be a joke--
- come on, man. Just play it so

948
00:42:25,439 --> 00:42:28,566
we can finish and
get out of here.
- Ok, damn.

949
00:42:30,361 --> 00:42:33,320
(synth music)

950
00:42:33,406 --> 00:42:35,948
- mm!

951
00:42:36,033 --> 00:42:37,658
Mm!
- Mm-hmm.

952
00:42:37,743 --> 00:42:39,410

953
00:42:39,495 --> 00:42:42,746

- yeah!

954
00:42:48,963 --> 00:42:50,838
Say that for me.

955
00:42:50,923 --> 00:42:53,716
- Oh, baby--
- ooh, baby, baby!

956
00:42:53,801 --> 00:42:57,720
- Ooh, ba--oh!
- Ooh, baby, baby!

957
00:42:57,763 --> 00:43:00,764
Ooh, baby, baby...
It's not funny, man!

958
00:43:00,808 --> 00:43:02,933
Come on, get on it!

959
00:43:03,019 --> 00:43:05,853
- This is wack! I mean...
- Stop playing, come on.

960
00:43:05,938 --> 00:43:07,563
Get on this, baby.
- Hurby, can we just take

961
00:43:07,648 --> 00:43:09,440
a break, clear our minds
for a second?

962
00:43:09,525 --> 00:43:11,984
- No! I need y'all
to get in the booth,

963
00:43:12,069 --> 00:43:13,861
put these vocals down. Come on.

964
00:43:13,946 --> 00:43:17,448
Here we go. Let's go.
- Yo, that's your boyfriend.

965
00:43:17,533 --> 00:43:19,617
- Yo, fresh! Give me that!
- A'ight.

966
00:43:19,660 --> 00:43:21,785
- He don't even know.
(laughing)

967
00:43:24,206 --> 00:43:26,123
thank you.

968
00:43:29,629 --> 00:43:31,503

00:43:46,687 --> 00:43:49,772
Slide... And back.
(record scratches)

977
00:43:49,815 --> 00:43:51,398
- ah!
- I'm sorry.

978
00:43:51,484 --> 00:43:53,692
- It's all good. It's all good.
We done for the day.

979
00:43:53,778 --> 00:43:56,654
I know you guys are tired.
All right? Cher! Cher!

980
00:43:56,697 --> 00:43:58,822
Leave those chips alone.
They're startin' to show on you.

981
00:43:58,866 --> 00:44:01,158
- And your crazy is startin'
to show on you,

982
00:44:01,243 --> 00:44:03,452
hurby the love bug.
And don't worry about what

983
00:44:03,537 --> 00:44:06,163
I'm eatin'. I thought you said
that you liked me curvy.

984
00:44:06,248 --> 00:44:08,832
- I do! But america likes thin.
You know that. So that's what

985
00:44:08,918 --> 00:44:11,502
we gotta give them. And besides,
baby, you short. You can't

986
00:44:11,587 --> 00:44:13,629
carry all that extra weight
like sandra.

987
00:44:13,673 --> 00:44:16,590
- Girl, come on. Let's go. Let's
go before he change his mind

988
00:44:16,676 --> 00:44:18,676
'cause I gotta get to my hair
appointment anyway.

989
00:44:18,761 --> 00:44:20,511
- You notice how he don't
ever criticize miss thing?

990
00:44:20,596 --> 00:44:23,305
She can't mix, she can't
scratch, so why do we need her?

991
00:44:23,391 --> 00:44:24,973
Girl, I forgot my jacket.
- Hit me later.

992
00:44:25,059 --> 00:44:26,850
I gotta get my hair done.
- All right.

993
00:44:26,936 --> 00:44:28,769
(electronic music plays)

994
00:44:28,854 --> 00:44:32,022
(latoya and hurby laughing)
- there you go. You got it now.

995
00:44:33,734 --> 00:44:35,734
Just like that, yeah. Push.

996
00:44:35,820 --> 00:44:38,696
(hurby grunts)

997
00:44:38,739 --> 00:44:41,824
- jean, come on! It's tingling.
- You're fine, sandy.

998
00:44:41,909 --> 00:44:43,534
It's supposed
to feel a little hot.

999
00:44:43,619 --> 00:44:45,536
- It's not supposed to feel
this hot. I knew I should've

1000
00:44:45,621 --> 00:44:47,996
went to my own hairdresser!
(breathes heavily)

1001
00:44:48,082 --> 00:44:49,873
- there's nothing she can do
that I can't!

1002
00:44:49,917 --> 00:44:51,583
Ok? So stop it.
- Ooh, jean, just--no!

1003
00:44:51,669 --> 00:44:53,836
You just wash it out!
- But the book says that--

1004
00:44:53,921 --> 00:44:56,171
- I don't give a damn
what the book say!

1005
00:44:56,257 --> 00:44:58,298
Wash it out!
- Ok, ok!

1006
00:44:58,384 --> 00:45:00,300
- Turn the water on!
- But it's not gonna look right!

1007
00:45:00,386 --> 00:45:02,136
- I don't care! Hoo!

1008
00:45:02,221 --> 00:45:04,054
Hoo! Oh!

1009
00:45:04,098 --> 00:45:06,598
Turn it on, jean! Turn it on!

1010
00:45:06,684 --> 00:45:09,893
Jean, put the water in it!

1011
00:45:09,979 --> 00:45:12,896
- Uh-oh...
- Uh-oh?

1012
00:45:12,982 --> 00:45:15,441
What you mean, uh-oh?!
- Nothin'! It's just...

1013
00:45:15,526 --> 00:45:18,819
I think I made a little mistake.

1014
00:45:18,904 --> 00:45:22,364
- Jean! Jean!

1015
00:45:22,450 --> 00:45:24,742
(sandy screams)

1016
00:45:24,827 --> 00:45:28,370
- ooh, yeah, that's
burnt all right.
- Ow! Ow!

1017
00:45:28,414 --> 00:45:30,414
- It's not funny, cheryl! What
the hell I'm supposed to do?

1018
00:45:30,499 --> 00:45:32,916
We got a photo shoot on Friday
and I'm gonna be over there

1019
00:45:33,002 --> 00:45:34,877
lookin' like a idiot!
- I mean, we could always

1020
00:45:34,962 --> 00:45:36,670
wear hats?
- I ain't wearin' no damn hat!

1021
00:45:36,756 --> 00:45:38,547
I don't even know if my hair
can grow back right here!

1022
00:45:38,632 --> 00:45:40,591
- Come on, it's not that bad--
- no! What, I'm gonna be walkin'

1023
00:45:40,676 --> 00:45:43,177
around lookin' like mr. T
for the rest of my life?

1024
00:45:43,262 --> 00:45:45,721
- Ooh! I got it. Ok. So this is
what we do. First, you dye it.

1025
00:45:45,765 --> 00:45:47,473
Do it like
a real bright honey blonde,

1026
00:45:47,558 --> 00:45:49,433
and then we'll fade it
and shape it up. Jean, you got

1027
00:45:49,477 --> 00:45:51,435
some clippers? And you
know what? We'll even cut

1028
00:45:51,479 --> 00:45:53,812
some lines in it on the side
like the guys do in brooklyn.

1029
00:45:53,898 --> 00:45:56,023
Go real punk rock glam.

1030
00:45:56,108 --> 00:45:58,275
You know, believe it or not,

1031
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,736
I think it could
be actually dope.

1032
00:46:00,821 --> 00:46:03,655
- Girl, I'm so desperate,
I'll try anything right now.

1033
00:46:03,741 --> 00:46:06,116
- Tell you what.
I'll cut your hair--

1034
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,701
- no!
- You'll cut mine.

1035
00:46:07,787 --> 00:46:11,288
We'll have the same style.
- You'd do that for me?

1036
00:46:11,373 --> 00:46:13,415
- Yeah. We in this
together, right?

1037
00:46:13,501 --> 00:46:15,501
- Yeah.

1038
00:46:15,586 --> 00:46:17,795
- I'll be on this side.
This side shaved.

1039
00:46:17,838 --> 00:46:21,173
So we workin' it. We workin' it.
Work the camera.

1040
00:46:21,258 --> 00:46:24,593
- Jean, why is you workin'--
get out of here!

1041
00:46:24,678 --> 00:46:26,929
She's on my nerves!
- Ok. Focus.

1042
00:46:27,014 --> 00:46:30,057
- Just like that. Yeah. Yeah.
Get a little closer together.

1043
00:46:30,142 --> 00:46:32,518
Nice. Everybody got their
hair done! They lookin' good!

1044
00:46:32,603 --> 00:46:36,230
Come on. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah,
just like that. Spin, get in!

1045
00:46:36,315 --> 00:46:39,233
Hey, yo, get in there.
Nice! Yeah! Just like that.

1046
00:46:39,318 --> 00:46:41,819
- (photographer): Yeah!
Keep smilin'! More laughter!

1047
00:46:41,862 --> 00:46:44,988
- (hurby): Yeah! Just like that!
We stars in this joint!

1048
00:46:45,074 --> 00:46:46,990
(indistinct chatter)

1049
00:46:47,076 --> 00:46:50,327
- ♪ come on! ♪
- yo, hurby, she already late.

1050
00:46:50,412 --> 00:46:52,079
How much longer we gonna wait?

1051
00:46:52,164 --> 00:46:54,164
- Yeah, I know.
Let's give her another 10.

1052
00:46:54,250 --> 00:46:56,166
If she's not here, we move on.

1053
00:46:56,252 --> 00:46:58,544
- Once again,
miss thing is late.

1054
00:46:58,629 --> 00:47:01,797
Yo, that's mad disrespectful.
- I'm aware of that, cheryl.

1055
00:47:01,882 --> 00:47:04,132
- Are you?
'cause when pepa's late,

1056
00:47:04,176 --> 00:47:05,843
you never let her
hear the end of it.

1057
00:47:05,928 --> 00:47:07,511
- Never.
- Why is there one set of rules

1058
00:47:07,596 --> 00:47:09,680
for this one and another for us?
- I mean, what you want me

1059
00:47:09,723 --> 00:47:12,641
to do? You want
me to fire the girl?
- I ain't say all that.

1060
00:47:12,726 --> 00:47:16,144
- But you know what? You right.
You're right. She's slackin'.

1061
00:47:16,230 --> 00:47:19,314
It's mad disrespectful,
unprofessional.

1062
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,608
I'm gonna give her a call.
- Call her up.

1063
00:47:21,694 --> 00:47:23,569
(sandy scoffs)

1064
00:47:23,654 --> 00:47:25,696
(picks up phone)

1065
00:47:25,781 --> 00:47:29,032
(line trilling)
- yeah. Where you at?

1066
00:47:29,076 --> 00:47:32,369
You're an hour late.

1067
00:47:32,454 --> 00:47:34,663
Well, we don't work like that.

1068
00:47:34,748 --> 00:47:37,040
Well, stay where you are.

1069
00:47:37,084 --> 00:47:38,834
We don't need you anymore.
- Ooh!

1070
00:47:38,878 --> 00:47:40,961
Damn, you cut her
just like that?

1071
00:47:41,046 --> 00:47:43,839
- That's it. We're movin' on.
Latoya's out.

1072
00:47:43,924 --> 00:47:45,674
- (cheryl and sandy):
You fired her?

1073
00:47:45,759 --> 00:47:48,093
- Not exactly.
Apparently, she don't

1074
00:47:48,178 --> 00:47:51,346
wanna do this no more, so.
- Well damn, ok.

1075
00:47:51,432 --> 00:47:53,307
- Nah! What are we
gonna tell people?

1076
00:47:53,392 --> 00:47:55,392
I mean, she is
on the album cover.

1077
00:47:55,436 --> 00:47:57,311
- So? Group members switch up
all the time.

1078
00:47:57,396 --> 00:47:59,313
Van halen switched
they lead singer.

1079
00:47:59,398 --> 00:48:01,857
As long as the music's hot,
nobody cares.

1080
00:48:01,901 --> 00:48:05,110
- Ok, hurby.
- Hey, hey, hey.

1081
00:48:05,195 --> 00:48:07,529
Nobody's opinion matters more
to me than yours, baby.

1082
00:48:07,615 --> 00:48:09,323
- Mm-hmm.

1083
00:48:09,408 --> 00:48:12,075
- Huh? You said what you said
and I heard it.

1084
00:48:12,161 --> 00:48:14,578
A'ight? Now what's done is done.

1085
00:48:16,457 --> 00:48:19,625
But you did make a good point.

1086
00:48:19,710 --> 00:48:22,586
- So we don't need a dj?
- Right?

1087
00:48:22,671 --> 00:48:25,422
- I ain't say all of that.
- (both): So what you sayin'?

1088
00:48:25,507 --> 00:48:27,507
- Cheryl and sandra, meet dee.

1089
00:48:27,593 --> 00:48:31,136
Dee, meet cheryl and sandra.

You two have
no fears dissing men.

1201
00:53:39,363 --> 00:53:43,240
And the thing is most rappers--
well, most artists period,

1202
00:53:43,325 --> 00:53:46,201
they struggle for years
trying to get radio play

1203
00:53:46,286 --> 00:53:50,247
or a song on the charts, and you
ladies have come out of nowhere.

1204
00:53:50,290 --> 00:53:52,874
- The rap game just kind of
came to us, right?

1205
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,834
- Mm-hmm.
- And I notice you don't rap

1206
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,045
about the street life like
a lot of male rappers do.

1207
00:53:57,130 --> 00:53:59,089
- No. We just like
being ourselves,

1208
00:53:59,174 --> 00:54:01,299
havin' fun and not being grimy.
- Right.

1209
00:54:01,385 --> 00:54:04,219
- You could see that
out your window.
- Mm, I heard that.

1210
00:54:04,263 --> 00:54:05,971
- You guys are like
the rap cindy lauper,

00:54:06,056 --> 00:54:09,224
"girls just wanna have fun?"
- well, we definitely wanna sell

1212
00:54:09,268 --> 00:54:11,768
as many records as she does.
- Yes.

1213
00:54:11,853 --> 00:54:13,687
- I can tell
just from being around you

1214
00:54:13,772 --> 00:54:16,731
that you are very close,
almost like sisters.

1215
00:54:16,817 --> 00:54:18,942

- You know you can't have

1216
00:54:18,986 --> 00:54:21,569
the salt without the pepa.
- I mean...

1217
00:54:21,655 --> 00:54:23,488
- Or the spin!
- (both): Or the spin!

1218
00:54:23,573 --> 00:54:25,615

- All right.

1220
00:54:28,287 --> 00:54:30,662
<i> Give it up for salt-n-pepa!</i>

1221
00:54:30,747 --> 00:54:33,164
- Girl, we've made it.

1222
00:54:33,250 --> 00:54:35,292

00:54:56,857 --> 00:54:59,524

- Absolutely.

1238
00:55:14,374 --> 00:55:16,166
Think of it as your homework.

1239
00:55:16,209 --> 00:55:19,544
Two hours of mixing
after every show every night.

1240
00:55:19,629 --> 00:55:22,672
You can look good
for the turntables though.

1241
00:55:22,758 --> 00:55:25,925

Was that your meeting?

1254
00:56:12,099 --> 00:56:14,265
- You know, people ask me
why I picked you for this group

1255
00:56:14,351 --> 00:56:16,309
all the time.

1256
00:56:16,395 --> 00:56:19,104
They say you ain't got
no class, you ghetto.

1257
00:56:19,189 --> 00:56:21,564
Now, kid and play?

1258
00:56:21,650 --> 00:56:23,566
Salt-n-pepa?

1259
00:56:23,652 --> 00:56:26,069
Not ghetto.

1260
00:56:26,113 --> 00:56:27,404
I don't do ghetto.

1261
00:56:27,447 --> 00:56:31,199
I let those other rappers be
gangster and nasty.

1262
00:56:31,284 --> 00:56:33,159
'cause what I found out is

1263
00:56:33,245 --> 00:56:38,415
the music you make reflects
the life you live.

1264
00:56:38,458 --> 00:56:41,000
Understand me?

1265
00:56:41,086 --> 00:56:43,837
If you say anything
about tonight,

1266
00:56:43,922 --> 00:56:46,005
I'll drop you quicker
than a teenage father.

1267
00:56:46,091 --> 00:56:48,425
- That's the best you got?

1268
00:56:50,053 --> 00:56:52,262
You have fun tonight.

1269
00:56:54,516 --> 00:56:56,391
There's nothing
I could tell cheryl

1270
00:56:56,476 --> 00:56:59,936
that she don't already know.

1271
00:57:00,021 --> 00:57:01,938

1274
00:57:08,947 --> 00:57:11,698
20 times exactly like you.
- No, you didn't.

1275
00:57:11,783 --> 00:57:14,826
The word is introduction.
You keep saying inner-duction.

1276
00:57:14,911 --> 00:57:17,787
You soundin' all ghetto. Cheryl
did it. Now it's your turn.

1277
00:57:17,831 --> 00:57:21,583
- So?! It's a rap song!
It's supposed to sound ghetto.

1278
00:57:21,668 --> 00:57:23,793
And I keep tellin' you,
stop comparin' me to cheryl.

1279
00:57:25,505 --> 00:57:27,130
- You wanna be on the record?
Do it again.

1280
00:57:27,215 --> 00:57:28,965
- I'll just go in there
and help her.

1281
00:57:29,009 --> 00:57:31,843
- Mm-mm! She a big girl.
You wanted to share your cheque

1282
00:57:31,928 --> 00:57:34,095
with her, right?
Let her earn it.

1283
00:57:34,181 --> 00:57:35,972
- Excuse me?!
Are the two lovebirds

1284
00:57:36,016 --> 00:57:38,850
talkin' about me again?
- No, I was just sayin' I can

1285
00:57:38,935 --> 00:57:40,477
come in there and help you.
- I don't need you to help.

1286
00:57:40,562 --> 00:57:42,854
Press record!
(phone ringing)

1287
00:57:42,939 --> 00:57:44,647
(track plays)
- I'll get it.

1288
00:57:44,733 --> 00:57:47,692

1289
00:57:47,777 --> 00:57:50,153

1290
00:57:51,448 --> 00:57:53,490

1294

[we are going to sharkey's.
And I got a guy for you.]

1456
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,499
- (cheryl): [ok,
and what about hurby?]

1457
01:06:23,584 --> 01:06:25,668
- [I ain't say you gotta
marry him! Just meet him.]

1458
01:06:25,712 --> 01:06:28,337
[his name is gavin. He's cute.
He's real. And he ain't no
industry dude.]

1459
01:06:28,423 --> 01:06:30,965
- ooh!
- So cheryl and I decided

1460
01:06:31,050 --> 01:06:32,925
we gonna throw our own parties.
- Ok.

1461
01:06:33,011 --> 01:06:34,844
- Right here at sharkey's.
- That's right.

1462
01:06:34,929 --> 01:06:37,680
Every Tuesday night.
- Ok, but hold on. How y'all

1463
01:06:37,724 --> 01:06:39,557
gonna get the liquor licence?
I mean, y'all know

1464
01:06:39,642 --> 01:06:41,183
that ain't easy, right?
- Mm-hmm.

1465
01:06:41,227 --> 01:06:43,853
- Two bad bitches like us?
We'll figure something out.

1466
01:06:43,938 --> 01:06:45,855
If they can make
money off of us...

1467
01:06:45,898 --> 01:06:48,566
- (cheryl and sandy): ...We can
make money off of us.

1468
01:06:48,651 --> 01:06:52,278
(cheering)
- gavin, it's beautiful here.

1469
01:06:52,363 --> 01:06:54,613
- So what's your situation?

1470
01:06:54,699 --> 01:06:56,490
I mean, you and this hurby guy,
what, you guys

1471
01:06:56,576 --> 01:06:58,409
together-together?
- Yup.

1472
01:06:58,494 --> 01:07:02,163
For almost five years now.
- Wow.

1473
01:07:02,248 --> 01:07:04,248
So you got no time
for no one else, huh?

1474
01:07:04,333 --> 01:07:06,167
(laughs)

1475
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,548
oh! Yo, I love these.
I'll buy you a hotdog?

1476
01:07:12,633 --> 01:07:16,802
- Uh, no, it's ok.
I'm tryin' to watch my figure.

1477
01:07:16,888 --> 01:07:18,721
- You look fine to me.
- Can I get anything for you?

1478
01:07:18,765 --> 01:07:21,182
- My man, let me get a...
Hot dog with the relish,

1479
01:07:21,225 --> 01:07:23,184
with mustard and relish on that.

1480
01:07:23,269 --> 01:07:24,977
- All right.
- Thank you.

1481
01:07:25,063 --> 01:07:28,147
- You know what, gavin?
I'm ok here.

1482
01:07:28,232 --> 01:07:30,775
- You sure?
- Yeah.

1483
01:07:30,860 --> 01:07:33,360
- All right.
Well, uh, get home safe.

1484
01:07:33,446 --> 01:07:35,362
All right?
- Yeah. You too.

1485
01:07:43,456 --> 01:07:45,748
Hey, gavin?

1486
01:07:45,833 --> 01:07:48,167
I'll see you around, I'm sure.

1487
01:07:49,670 --> 01:07:52,046

01:09:07,039 --> 01:09:09,373
let me call you back later.

1518
01:09:09,458 --> 01:09:11,417
Ooh! How you doin', baby?

1519
01:09:11,502 --> 01:09:14,336
- Hi.
- Ah! Ah! Ah!

1520
01:09:14,380 --> 01:09:16,964
Y'all done yet?
- Not yet. But, um...

1521
01:09:17,049 --> 01:09:18,966
I wanted to talk
to you about somethin'.

1522
01:09:19,051 --> 01:09:20,926
- Ok. Ok. What's up?
- I was tryin' to wait,

1523
01:09:21,012 --> 01:09:24,346
but I can't wait anymore.
I just wanna... Tell you.

1524
01:09:24,432 --> 01:09:26,557
- Ok. Yeah, what's up?

1525
01:09:26,642 --> 01:09:29,018
- I'm pregnant.

1526
01:09:34,567 --> 01:09:36,942
You don't have nothin' to say?

1527
01:09:37,028 --> 01:09:38,652
- What am I supposed to say?
- I don't know. Somethin' like,

1528
01:09:38,738 --> 01:09:40,905
baby, I'm so happy.
I can't wait to get married.

1529
01:09:40,990 --> 01:09:43,407
I can't wait to move in.
Something like that.

1530
01:09:43,492 --> 01:09:45,075
- You know, I figured
you were on the pill.

1531
01:09:45,161 --> 01:09:48,704
- I'm not. And I'm sorry
to disappoint you,

1532
01:09:48,789 --> 01:09:52,124
but newsflash: I'm gonna

1533
01:09:52,210 --> 01:09:55,211
have your baby. Period.

1534
01:09:55,254 --> 01:09:57,129
(soft music)

1535
01:10:03,262 --> 01:10:04,929
- (cheryl): Oof.

1536
01:10:05,014 --> 01:10:06,764
(men speaking indistinctly)

1537
01:10:06,849 --> 01:10:09,558
- are you ok?
- No, I'm not.

1538
01:10:09,602 --> 01:10:11,227
I hate doin' stuff like this.

1539
01:10:11,312 --> 01:10:13,562
Girl...
- Cheryl, you gotta have my back

1540
01:10:13,606 --> 01:10:16,232
up there because if they think
--hold up--if they think

1541
01:10:16,317 --> 01:10:17,733
we're not together,
it's not gonna work.

1542
01:10:17,777 --> 01:10:20,069
- I'm with you, girl.
I'm just a little nervous

1543
01:10:20,154 --> 01:10:22,404
is all. You sure
you remember what to say?

1544
01:10:22,448 --> 01:10:24,198
- I got everything memorized.
- Ok.

1545
01:10:24,283 --> 01:10:25,950
- We got this!
- Ok.

1546
01:10:26,035 --> 01:10:27,701
- Just chill. We got it.

1547
01:10:27,787 --> 01:10:30,162
- So where's this
all coming from?

1548
01:10:30,248 --> 01:10:32,915
Since when do you ladies wanna
renegotiate your deals?

1549
01:10:32,959 --> 01:10:34,750
- Well, we've actually been

1550
01:10:34,835 --> 01:10:36,377
thinking about it for a while.

1551
01:10:36,420 --> 01:10:39,255
We think that now is
the right time.

1552
01:10:39,340 --> 01:10:41,590
- Hmm. For a while, huh?

1553
01:10:43,261 --> 01:10:45,219
- (woman): Girls, I realize
that I'm new to the team,

1554
01:10:45,263 --> 01:10:47,596
but I gotta tell you
this is, uh...

1555
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,431
Gonna be difficult.

1556
01:10:49,517 --> 01:10:51,767
- We'll see.

1557
01:10:53,437 --> 01:10:55,980
(hurby sighs)
- (hurby): Cher...

1558
01:10:56,065 --> 01:10:57,731
Talk to me.

1559
01:10:57,817 --> 01:11:00,109
What's this really about?

1560
01:11:06,534 --> 01:11:09,159
- It's... Like you once told us.

1561
01:11:09,245 --> 01:11:11,287
We were so focused on the show

1562
01:11:11,372 --> 01:11:13,956
when we needed to be
about the business.

1563
01:11:14,041 --> 01:11:16,792
- Like cheryl said,
the bottom line is

1564
01:11:16,836 --> 01:11:18,460
we're taking a meeting
with eddie o.

1565
01:11:18,546 --> 01:11:20,838
And we're gonna
tell him what we want.

1566
01:11:20,923 --> 01:11:23,757
Now, if y'all wanna stand
with us, that's great.

1567
01:11:23,843 --> 01:11:27,136
And if you don't, we might have
to seek some other options.

1568
01:11:27,221 --> 01:11:30,806
Different management.
- (hurby): Hmm.

1569
01:11:30,850 --> 01:11:34,101
- Better management.

1570
01:11:35,229 --> 01:11:37,896
- Is this what you want?

1571
01:11:37,982 --> 01:11:40,482
- Yes. And it's

1572
01:11:40,568 --> 01:11:42,484
what we're gonna get.

1573
01:11:44,488 --> 01:11:47,614
- Ok.

1574
01:11:47,700 --> 01:11:49,450
I guess there's
nothin' more to talk about.

1575
01:11:51,078 --> 01:11:53,120
Let's call eddie o.

1576
01:11:53,205 --> 01:11:54,788
(picks up phone)
(beep)

1577
01:11:54,874 --> 01:11:57,833
- (woman): Can you put me
through to eddie o, please?

1578
01:12:00,796 --> 01:12:03,213
(both screaming)

1579
01:12:03,299 --> 01:12:04,965
- ooh! Ooh!
- Ooh! I'm pregnant!

1580
01:12:05,051 --> 01:12:08,260
- Ok!
- Girl, did you see his face?

1581
01:12:08,346 --> 01:12:11,513
(birds chirping)

1582
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,852
- you are so precious, you!

1583
01:12:16,896 --> 01:12:18,479
Look at those little cheeks!

1584
01:12:18,564 --> 01:12:21,940
Oh, my goodness!
Look at those cheeks!

1585
01:12:22,026 --> 01:12:24,693
You're so sweet, you know?
- We was just droppin' by.

1586
01:12:24,737 --> 01:12:27,696
I didn't realize
you were, um, workin'.

1587
01:12:27,740 --> 01:12:30,616
- What's his name?
- Damon.

1588
01:12:30,701 --> 01:12:33,660
- Little baby damon,
you are the cutest thing

1589
01:12:33,746 --> 01:12:35,537
I've ever seen!

1590
01:12:37,792 --> 01:12:39,625
- Steve!
- Tell her!

1591
01:12:39,710 --> 01:12:42,461
(speaking creole)

1592
01:12:42,546 --> 01:12:43,921
- mm, mm, mm!

1593
01:12:44,006 --> 01:12:45,714
- Um, trina...

1594
01:12:45,758 --> 01:12:49,051
Can you excuse us, please?
I need to talk to cheryl alone.

1595
01:13:01,649 --> 01:13:04,316
- What the hell was that about?

1596
01:13:04,402 --> 01:13:07,653
And don't lie.
- Cher...

1597
01:13:07,738 --> 01:13:09,738
Damon's my son.

1598
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:14,827
- You know,
I knew you wasn't shit,

1599
01:13:14,912 --> 01:13:16,745
but I never thought
that you was this low.

1600
01:13:16,831 --> 01:13:18,539
- Hey, that happened
on our break. A'ight?

1601
01:13:18,624 --> 01:13:21,375
- What break?! I ain't never
took no break from you!

1602
01:13:21,460 --> 01:13:23,419
So what, that girl,
you with her now?

1603
01:13:23,504 --> 01:13:25,462
- No! No! I'm just handlin'
my responsibilities! I mean,

1604
01:13:25,548 --> 01:13:27,631
what else you want me to do?
- No, don't!

1605
01:13:27,716 --> 01:13:31,260
- Cher, we can do this!
- Don't touch me!

1606
01:13:31,345 --> 01:13:34,096
You and I are done.

1607
01:13:34,181 --> 01:13:35,806
This is finished.
- You don't mean that.

1608
01:13:35,891 --> 01:13:38,475
- We can still work together
only because we have a contract,

1609
01:13:38,561 --> 01:13:41,395
but as far as you and I?

1610
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,105
That's a wrap.
Don't call my house

1611
01:13:43,190 --> 01:13:44,773
unless it's pertaining to
salt-n-pepa, do you hear that?

1612
01:13:44,859 --> 01:13:46,900
- You're not gonna throw away
everything we built over this

1613
01:13:46,986 --> 01:13:48,902
little mistake?
- A little mistake?!

1614
01:13:48,988 --> 01:13:51,947
Hurby, you kidding me?
That's a wrap.

1615
01:13:53,826 --> 01:13:55,659
(sobs)
- cher, come on...

1616
01:13:55,744 --> 01:13:59,455
(sniffling)

1617
01:13:59,498 --> 01:14:00,789

1621

Meet me at the hospital!]

1622
01:14:18,517 --> 01:14:20,976

B! Right here! Yo!

1625
01:14:25,149 --> 01:14:27,858

1626
01:14:27,943 --> 01:14:30,027
Have you seen
my friend, cheryl? Cheryl!

1627
01:14:30,112 --> 01:14:32,488
- Girl, I'm right here!
I made it! And guess what?

1628
01:14:32,531 --> 01:14:34,239
- No, no, no! Let me

1629
01:14:34,325 --> 01:14:36,074
He promised me he was goin'
to come up here!

1630
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:37,993
He did not even come up here!
- Well, listen--

1631
01:14:38,078 --> 01:14:39,786
- why he don't love me?
- I don't know, sandy,

1632
01:14:39,872 --> 01:14:42,039
but guess what?
I am here, and I got you, girl.

1633
01:14:42,124 --> 01:14:43,582
I got you, ok? I'm here.
- Yes.

1634
01:14:43,667 --> 01:14:45,834
Miss nurse, you said
I could have more drugs.

1635
01:14:45,878 --> 01:14:49,296
Miss nurse, can I
have them, please? Ooh! Ah!

1636
01:14:49,381 --> 01:14:52,216

01:14:52,301 --> 01:14:54,176
(sandy groans)
oh...

1638
01:14:54,261 --> 01:14:57,679
Thank you.
- It's ok. Careful. Careful.

1639
01:14:57,723 --> 01:15:00,349
- What was you
tryin' to tell me?
- Girl, I did it.

1640
01:15:00,392 --> 01:15:02,017
Girl, I finally left his ass.

1641
01:15:02,102 --> 01:15:04,478
- Hurby?
- Yes! And listen, I know

1642
01:15:04,563 --> 01:15:06,271
I could've left his ass
a long time ago,

1643
01:15:06,357 --> 01:15:09,024
but he taught me everything.
I know how to do this now.

1644
01:15:09,068 --> 01:15:12,027
- I'm so proud of you.
'cause you know he been jealous

1645
01:15:12,071 --> 01:15:15,405
of us from the start. And it's
gonna be different now.

1646
01:15:15,491 --> 01:15:19,076

- Preach it, girl.

1647
01:15:19,161 --> 01:15:21,703
And I want you to do my hair
like you did last time. Please?

1648
01:15:21,789 --> 01:15:24,498
- Yeah, you want me
to do your hair, pep?

1649
01:15:24,583 --> 01:15:26,250
Tell me how you want me
to do your hair.

I just put him down

He ran right over here.

cool dude, man, you got here!

Don't even sweat that. Cool.

Me and my--my group

Yo, y'all somethin' dope.
- Thank you.

1699
01:17:38,717 --> 01:17:42,594
You know, that's salt and spin.
- Yeah, I feel you.

1700
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:44,346
- You're from jersey, right?

1701
01:17:44,390 --> 01:17:47,766
- Yeah, born and raised.
You ever been to east orange?

1702

- No.
- You're from queens, right?

1704
01:17:51,522 --> 01:17:53,855
- Yeah. Originally,
I'm from jamaica, though.

1705
01:17:53,941 --> 01:17:55,649
But I grew up in queens.

1706
01:17:55,693 --> 01:17:57,693
I still got a condo there.
- Yeah?

1707
01:17:57,736 --> 01:17:59,695
- Yeah.
- That's what I'm talkin' about.

Yo, y'all's show was dope too.

1710
01:18:05,077 --> 01:18:06,868
You got some nice bars.
- Word?

1711
01:18:06,912 --> 01:18:09,579
- Yeah! "call me a crook,
a robber, a thief,

1712
01:18:09,665 --> 01:18:11,873
but I'll be your butcher
if you've got beef."

1713
01:18:11,959 --> 01:18:15,001
- that's--
- yo! Yeah, you go hard, yo.

1714
01:18:15,045 --> 01:18:17,379
- Thank you. I appreciate that
comin' from you.

1715
01:18:17,464 --> 01:18:19,381
- Yeah? Hmm.

1716
01:18:19,425 --> 01:18:22,759
What's... Whoa!

1717
01:18:22,845 --> 01:18:24,553
- You scared of heights?

1718
01:18:24,638 --> 01:18:26,430
- Hell yeah!

1719
01:18:26,515 --> 01:18:29,224
- You tough. Come on. Come on!
- Hell no!

1720
01:18:31,019 --> 01:18:33,437
Oh, you crazy as hell!
- Can you

1721
01:18:33,522 --> 01:18:35,939
handle all this crazy?

1722
01:18:36,024 --> 01:18:39,735
(soft music)

1723
01:18:55,919 --> 01:18:57,711

<i> for salt-n-pepa, everybody!</i>

01:18:57,796 --> 01:19:00,756
(cheering and whooping)

1725
01:19:02,217 --> 01:19:04,426
<i> that was hot, girls.</i>
<i> That was hot.</i>

1726
01:19:04,470 --> 01:19:07,763
That song you just performed,
"let's talk about sex." did you

1727
01:19:07,806 --> 01:19:10,015
have any idea it'd be so big?
- I mean,

1728
01:19:10,100 --> 01:19:12,893
we thought it could be
'cause we had caught

1729
01:19:12,978 --> 01:19:14,728
so much flak for "push it,"
you know what I'm sayin'?

1730
01:19:14,813 --> 01:19:17,063
- Exactly. So this was
our challenge

1731
01:19:17,149 --> 01:19:19,274
to the radio stations.
Like, oh, you thought we took it

1732
01:19:19,318 --> 01:19:21,610
there before? Let's see
how you handle this.

1733
01:19:21,653 --> 01:19:24,070
- Yeah. Like, everybody think
about sex, and they so...

1734
01:19:24,114 --> 01:19:25,906
Hush-hush. That's what I think

1735
01:19:25,991 --> 01:19:27,949
actually contributes
to the aids problem in america.

1736
01:19:27,993 --> 01:19:30,118
- Yeah.
- That's the perfect transition.

1737
01:19:30,204 --> 01:19:32,245
Because of some of the backlash
you got with this song,

1738
01:19:32,331 --> 01:19:34,456
you actually had people reach
out for you in order to change

1739
01:19:34,500 --> 01:19:36,583
the words to help aids.
Can you speak to that?

1740
01:19:36,627 --> 01:19:39,461
- Oh, yeah. Peter jennings,
he reached out to salt-n-pepa

1741
01:19:39,546 --> 01:19:42,088
<i> for us to change</i>
<i> from "let's talk about sex"</i>

1742
01:19:42,174 --> 01:19:46,259
<i> to "let's talk about aids"</i>
<i> 'cause his daughter is</i>
<i> a fan of ours,</i>

1743
01:19:46,345 --> 01:19:50,138
and, um, we did that.
And we think more rappers need

1744
01:19:50,182 --> 01:19:53,475
to use they voice to really
address the aids epidemic.

1745
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,645
- Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, this thing
has gone international.

1746
01:19:56,688 --> 01:19:59,481
You're the first rap group
to go number one in germany,

1747
01:19:59,566 --> 01:20:01,608
australia, and it just
keeps climbing.

1748
01:20:01,693 --> 01:20:03,485
Can we talk a little
about your image?

1749
01:20:03,529 --> 01:20:05,278
'cause you ladies,
you know, are role models

1750
01:20:05,322 --> 01:20:07,989
for a lot of women out there.
- Thank you for saying that.

1751
01:20:08,075 --> 01:20:11,326
- It's the truth. Am I lyin'?
(cheering and applause)

1752
01:20:11,411 --> 01:20:13,453
(whooping)

1753
01:20:14,581 --> 01:20:16,498
- we recorded
songs on this album

1754
01:20:16,542 --> 01:20:18,333
like "independent"
and "expression"

1755
01:20:18,377 --> 01:20:20,293
so that young girls know
that they can be themselves

1756
01:20:20,379 --> 01:20:22,963
and let their voices be heard.
And also too that they can do

1757
01:20:23,006 --> 01:20:25,131
anything that a man does.
(cheering)

1758
01:20:25,217 --> 01:20:27,300
you know, we like to say
that we bring fun,

1759
01:20:27,344 --> 01:20:30,011
fashion and femininity
to hip hop.

1760
01:20:30,055 --> 01:20:32,514
- Yeah. And sandy, you recently
became a mom, correct?

1761
01:20:32,558 --> 01:20:35,559
- Yeah, I have a son, tyran.

1762
01:20:35,644 --> 01:20:37,394
I had him last July.
(audience "awws")

1763
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:39,229
- and cheryl,
you're expecting as well?

1764
01:20:39,314 --> 01:20:41,606
- I am. I figure
pepa had a baby,

1765
01:20:41,692 --> 01:20:44,109
so I figured it was time
for me to catch up.

1766
01:20:44,194 --> 01:20:46,695
- Yeah, that's right, I forgot.
You and your producer hurby

1767
01:20:46,738 --> 01:20:49,656
have been together for a while.
I mean, with all this goin' on,

1768
01:20:49,700 --> 01:20:51,658
you three are still
out on the road,

1769
01:20:51,743 --> 01:20:54,411
tourin', doin' videos,
recordin' more songs.

1770
01:20:54,496 --> 01:20:56,204
I mean, do rappers not get
maternity leave?

1771
01:20:56,290 --> 01:20:59,749
- I mean, what can we say?
A woman's work is never done.

1772
01:20:59,835 --> 01:21:02,168
(cheering and applause)

1773
01:21:02,254 --> 01:21:04,087
(whooping)
-<i> I don't understand</i>

1774
01:21:04,172 --> 01:21:06,882
what you so upset about. What
did I say that was so wrong?

1775
01:21:06,967 --> 01:21:09,092
- It's not what you said! It's
what you didn't say, cheryl!

1776
01:21:09,177 --> 01:21:11,678
Everybody's gonna think hurby's
the father and you didn't
even acknowledge me!

1777
01:21:11,722 --> 01:21:14,055
- Arsenio caught me off guard
and it wasn't a good time
to mention--

1778
01:21:14,141 --> 01:21:16,474
- it wasn't a good time
to mention what?

1779
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,311
That the father of the baby in
your stomach is a nobody? Hmm?

1780
01:21:19,396 --> 01:21:21,771
(tense music)

1781
01:21:21,857 --> 01:21:24,232
- gavin...
- What?

1782
01:21:24,318 --> 01:21:27,903
- You knew I wasn't over hurby
but you pursued me anyways.

1783
01:21:29,615 --> 01:21:30,572
Why?

1784
01:21:30,616 --> 01:21:32,866
- I guess we'll never know.

1785
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,412
(receding footsteps)
(door opens)

1786
01:21:37,456 --> 01:21:38,955
(melancholy music)

1787
01:21:39,041 --> 01:21:40,916
(door shuts)

1788
01:21:45,756 --> 01:21:47,714
(exhales sharply)

1789
01:21:49,426 --> 01:21:52,052
(siren blaring)

1790
01:21:52,137 --> 01:21:55,055
- come on, now.
Come on. Give me a big push.

1791
01:21:55,140 --> 01:21:59,100
- Yeah, cheryl. You
gotta push it good!
- Don't say that!

1792
01:21:59,144 --> 01:22:00,977
(screaming)

1793
01:22:01,063 --> 01:22:04,230
hi!
- Nah. Nah, I don't like it.

1794
01:22:04,316 --> 01:22:05,941
- You don't like
none of our ideas.

1795
01:22:05,984 --> 01:22:09,194
- Because it's not salt-n-pepa.
Why fix what ain't broken?

1796
01:22:09,279 --> 01:22:12,030
- 'cause we need to
stay current. We need to come up

1797
01:22:12,115 --> 01:22:13,615
with a track that's
gonna knock in the jeeps,

1798
01:22:13,659 --> 01:22:15,784
somethin' gritty.
- Yeah. I wanna make a hit.

1799
01:22:15,869 --> 01:22:18,119
- What, like that
"none of your business" song?

1800
01:22:18,205 --> 01:22:20,914
- Exactly. That's a hit.
- It's some b.S. Is what it is.

1801
01:22:20,999 --> 01:22:22,624
Talkin' 'bout
"if she wanna be

1802
01:22:22,709 --> 01:22:25,085
a freak and sell it
on the weekend?"

1803
01:22:25,128 --> 01:22:28,254
hurby, we are mothers. What kind
of example is that setting?

1804
01:22:28,340 --> 01:22:30,423
- Look, this is my group.

1805
01:22:30,509 --> 01:22:33,635
We gonna stick to the formula.
- Oh, it's your group?

1806
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,638
'cause the last time I checked,
it was salt-n-pepa.
- Exactly.

1807
01:22:36,682 --> 01:22:39,474
It wasn't salt, pepa 'n hurby.
Don't you forget that part.

1808
01:22:39,518 --> 01:22:41,643
- Oh! So y'all think y'all can
do this better than me?

1809
01:22:41,687 --> 01:22:43,979
- I have a suggestion.
Album's supposed to be

1810
01:22:44,064 --> 01:22:46,314
12 tracks, right? So why don't

1811
01:22:46,358 --> 01:22:48,984
they do one half,
you do the other half

1812
01:22:49,069 --> 01:22:50,944
and only the best songs
make the cut?

1813
01:22:51,029 --> 01:22:54,114
- Hmm. I like that.
- I could live with it.

1814
01:22:54,157 --> 01:22:56,574
- Yeah, me too. Thank you, al.

1815
01:22:56,660 --> 01:22:59,911
Finally, a man that gets us.
(hurby scoffs)

1816
01:22:59,997 --> 01:23:02,872
- come on, tyran. Let's go.
(tyran laughing)

1817
01:23:02,958 --> 01:23:05,000
- so y'all not gonna
clean up this mess?

1818
01:23:05,043 --> 01:23:07,585
- (cheryl and sandra): It's none
of your business.

1819
01:23:07,671 --> 01:23:09,504
(al chuckles)

1820
01:23:09,589 --> 01:23:12,173
- there's nothin' wrong with
a little friendly competition,

1821
01:23:12,217 --> 01:23:15,010
right?
- Nah. Not at all.

1822
01:23:15,095 --> 01:23:17,095
(indistinct chatter)

1823
01:23:17,180 --> 01:23:19,014
(hip hop music playing)

1824
01:23:19,057 --> 01:23:22,308
- (man): Yeah, you lookin'
fine though.

1825
01:23:22,352 --> 01:23:24,185
- (sandy): Y'all havin' fun?
Good.

1826
01:23:24,229 --> 01:23:25,979
Hey, girl!
- (woman): Hey, girl!

1827
01:23:26,064 --> 01:23:27,981
- (sandy): Oh, this your man?
He's cute!

1828
01:23:28,066 --> 01:23:29,858
- (man): Nice to meet you.

1829
01:23:29,901 --> 01:23:31,317
(people laughing)

1830
01:23:31,403 --> 01:23:34,571
- yeah.

1831
01:23:34,656 --> 01:23:36,364
(sandy laughs)

1832
01:23:36,450 --> 01:23:39,034
hey! I ain't see you in forever!

1833
01:23:39,119 --> 01:23:40,702
Oh, my god!

1834
01:23:40,746 --> 01:23:43,872
Who you talkin' to? Hello?

1835
01:23:43,957 --> 01:23:46,374
Why you not here?
(sandy laughs)

1836
01:23:46,460 --> 01:23:50,462
(indistinct chatter)

1837
01:23:50,547 --> 01:23:53,631
- (woman): You trippin'!
I did not look at your man!

1838
01:23:53,717 --> 01:23:57,385
- (man): Come on, man! Let's go.
- (woman): Ok, you trippin' now.

1839
01:23:57,429 --> 01:23:59,137
I did not look at your man.

1840
01:23:59,222 --> 01:24:01,139
You crazy, girl!

1841
01:24:01,224 --> 01:24:03,224
(choir singing)

1842
01:24:03,268 --> 01:24:05,852
- good evening, mrs. Williams.
Good to see you.

1843
01:24:05,937 --> 01:24:08,271
- Hello?
- Hey, girl. I got a song.

1844
01:24:08,356 --> 01:24:11,316
We gotta get in the studio.
- Girl, this is not

1845
01:24:11,401 --> 01:24:13,401
a good time. I'm gettin' ready
to walk into church.

1846
01:24:13,445 --> 01:24:15,612
- Man, forget church
just for a second!

1847
01:24:15,697 --> 01:24:19,074
[I got a bomb ass idea.]

1848
01:24:19,117 --> 01:24:21,367
- sandy, I don't give
a damn about...

1849
01:24:21,411 --> 01:24:23,745
- Good evening, miss james.
- Hi.

1850
01:24:23,789 --> 01:24:25,914
Sandy, you are
workin' my nerves.

1851
01:24:25,957 --> 01:24:28,583
[tell me your idea and quick.]
- ok. Bust it.

1852
01:24:28,668 --> 01:24:30,543
So listen, I was just writin',

1853
01:24:30,587 --> 01:24:32,378
it was just flowin' out
of my pen.

1854
01:24:32,464 --> 01:24:36,216
You know what I'm gonna call it?
"shoop." what you think?

1855
01:24:36,301 --> 01:24:38,635
- What is "shoop?"
- [what it means!]

1856
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:40,595
like, let's say you see
a cute guy and you tryin'

1857
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,639
to talk to him.
You don't have to wait for him

1858
01:24:42,724 --> 01:24:45,809
to try and talk to you.
You can just talk to him!

1859
01:24:45,894 --> 01:24:49,229
We don't have to wait for men.
We can do what we want to do.

1860
01:24:49,272 --> 01:24:51,189
Shoop!
- [yeah, that's...]

1861
01:24:51,274 --> 01:24:54,609
that's dope. I'll work
on my verse when I get home.

1862
01:24:54,694 --> 01:24:57,278
Now goodbye, sandy.
- [bye.]

1863
01:25:00,242 --> 01:25:03,118
woo! Baby, you scared me.
What's up?

1864
01:25:03,161 --> 01:25:04,953
- Uh-huh. Bet I did.

1865
01:25:04,996 --> 01:25:06,621
Who you sneak off and talk to?

1866
01:25:06,706 --> 01:25:08,581
- I didn't sneak off
to talk to anybody.

1867
01:25:08,667 --> 01:25:11,543
It was loud out here. I came
in here to talk to cheryl.

1868
01:25:11,628 --> 01:25:13,878
I was inspired by...

1869
01:25:13,964 --> 01:25:15,922
- You was inspired?
- Yeah, I was inspired

1870
01:25:16,007 --> 01:25:17,757
to do a new song.
- Inspired?

1871
01:25:17,843 --> 01:25:19,759
- Yeah.
- Who the hell are you?

1872
01:25:19,845 --> 01:25:22,971
Beethoven or something?
- Why you actin' like that?

1873

what is this on tv?

1980
01:30:23,356 --> 01:30:25,273
Girl, I'm so tired.

1981
01:30:25,358 --> 01:30:27,775
Can't even change
this tired russian show.

01:30:27,819 --> 01:30:29,986
(both laughing)

1983
01:30:30,071 --> 01:30:31,737

1984
01:30:31,823 --> 01:30:33,948
and I seen this baby
with her grandma.

1985
01:30:33,992 --> 01:30:35,700
I asked if I could hold her.

1986
01:30:35,785 --> 01:30:38,035
Girl, I almost

1987
01:30:38,121 --> 01:30:39,662
broke down cryin'.

1988
01:30:39,747 --> 01:30:42,290
Then the mother comes back,
sees some black chick holdin'

1989
01:30:42,375 --> 01:30:44,584
her little russian baby, and she
gave me this look like...

1990
01:30:44,669 --> 01:30:46,627
- Of course she did.
(both laughing)

1991
01:30:48,298 --> 01:30:51,090
- yo, I didn't even care.
It just felt

1992
01:30:51,134 --> 01:30:53,509
so good to hold her
for a minute,

1993
01:30:53,595 --> 01:30:55,720
pretended she was coco.

1994
01:30:55,805 --> 01:30:58,973
- I know, but we're gonna be
done soon. I'm tired too.

1995
01:30:59,017 --> 01:31:01,434
Can't wait to get back
to see both of my babies,

1996
01:31:01,519 --> 01:31:04,812
ty and treach.
- Ahem.

1997
01:31:04,898 --> 01:31:06,814
- What you clear
your throat like that for?

1998
01:31:06,858 --> 01:31:09,358
- You already know how I feel.
Treach is fine and all,

1999
01:31:09,444 --> 01:31:11,986
but he need to get
his anger issues under control.

2000
01:31:12,071 --> 01:31:14,655
- He don't be like that
all the time.

2001
01:31:14,699 --> 01:31:17,158
He just don't like when I be
gettin' smart with him.

2002
01:31:17,243 --> 01:31:20,745
But he's very good.
He takes tyran when I'm tired

2003
01:31:20,830 --> 01:31:23,498
to preschool.
And he wanna put him in soccer.

2004
01:31:23,583 --> 01:31:24,832
Treach is a good man.

2005
01:31:24,876 --> 01:31:27,001
And speakin' of that,
when you gonna give gavin

2006
01:31:27,086 --> 01:31:29,837

- I'm not thinking
about gavin. Sit back.

2007
01:31:29,923 --> 01:31:32,048
- Alright. Let me guess,

2008
01:31:32,133 --> 01:31:34,300
you just gonna be a lesbian.
- Listen,

2009
01:31:34,385 --> 01:31:37,512
between work and corin,
I'm not in the mental space

2010
01:31:37,597 --> 01:31:39,722
to be considering<i> any</i> man.

2011
01:31:39,807 --> 01:31:43,684
- But you're considering that
vibrator in your luggage.
I seen it.

2012
01:31:43,770 --> 01:31:47,647
- Listen, trick, what's
in my suitcase is none
of your business.

2013
01:31:47,690 --> 01:31:52,318
- I seen it!
- I will spray you.
- Oh, it's like that.

2014
01:31:52,403 --> 01:31:54,487
- Stay on your side of the room.
- I just wanna see it!

2015
01:31:54,572 --> 01:31:57,198
- For what?
- 'cause I'm looking to--

2016
01:31:57,242 --> 01:32:01,077
let me see it!
- What you need to see
my suitcase for?

2017
01:32:01,162 --> 01:32:03,663
- Aight.
- Thank you.

2018
01:32:03,706 --> 01:32:06,666
- Thought we was friends.
(laughing)

2019
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:13,214
- no, for real, like,
you ever think, like,
what's the point of this?

2020
01:32:13,299 --> 01:32:16,342
- What, being in russia?
I know, 'cause it's cold.

2021
01:32:16,386 --> 01:32:19,720
- Nah, pep, like,
all of it. Like,

2022
01:32:19,806 --> 01:32:22,598
we do a album, shoot videos
for it, on the road,

2023
01:32:22,684 --> 01:32:25,268
do press, shoot more videos,
get like a month off,

2024
01:32:25,353 --> 01:32:28,479
then it's time to record another
album, shoot more videos,

2025
01:32:28,565 --> 01:32:30,940
and do it all over again.

2026
01:32:31,025 --> 01:32:34,443
Like, I don't even know who I am
outside of the image
that we've created.

2027
01:32:34,529 --> 01:32:38,239
- Don't you remember what
you told me when we got signed?

2028
01:32:38,324 --> 01:32:41,242
This is the life
that we chose?

2029
01:32:41,327 --> 01:32:44,203
And I like this life,
I don't know about you.

2030
01:32:44,289 --> 01:32:49,292
- Yeah, but did we really?
I was 19, and you were 20.

2031
01:32:49,377 --> 01:32:52,878
Like, did we know what we was
doing? Now our kids are
growing up without us

2032
01:32:52,964 --> 01:32:56,591
and we're in russia
doing<i> yo! Mtv raps.</i>
- So?

2033
01:32:56,634 --> 01:33:01,095
Why don't you stop complaining?
Don't this beat working
at sears?

2034
01:33:01,139 --> 01:33:04,098
Yo, why don't you take some time
and just relax?

2035
01:33:04,142 --> 01:33:07,602
Just enjoy our life.
Maybe if you stopped being

2036
01:33:07,687 --> 01:33:10,146
so stressed out, you would stop
stressing me out.

2037
01:33:10,231 --> 01:33:14,609
- Oh, I'm stressing you out?
- Yes, you are. It's getting
on my nerve.

2038
01:33:18,489 --> 01:33:22,283
- Girl, you not hearing me.

2039
01:33:22,368 --> 01:33:26,329
I don't know how much more
of this I can take.

2040
01:33:26,414 --> 01:33:28,956
Like, am I supposed
to be 50 and 60

2041
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,627
talking 'bout some "push it,
push it real good"?

2042
01:33:35,298 --> 01:33:39,592

- Yo! Y'all!

2049
01:34:39,987 --> 01:34:43,489
You gotta take out
<i> none of your business.</i>

2050
01:34:43,574 --> 01:34:45,741
- Whoa, whoa, hold up.
According to who?

2051
01:34:45,827 --> 01:34:49,453
- Susan taylor, the editor-in-
chief of<i> essence?</i> The whole
reason that we here?

2052
01:34:49,539 --> 01:34:52,081
She personally told me that she
don't want us doing that song.

2053
01:34:52,166 --> 01:34:54,583
- If we take it out, it's gonna
mess up the whole set.

2054
01:34:54,669 --> 01:34:58,295
- Plus it's our new single.
We have to do it.
- Look, this is a classy event.

2055
01:34:58,381 --> 01:35:01,966
She don't want us doing that
song, and I gave her my word

01:36:44,403 --> 01:36:47,238
So, I want you
in a skirt,

2087
01:36:47,323 --> 01:36:50,533
but you insist on rocking
these jeans; then obviously
it ain't for me.

2088
01:36:50,618 --> 01:36:52,660
- Oh my god,
is this<i> new york undercover?</i>

2089
01:36:52,745 --> 01:36:54,620
Are you a detective?
Like, what are you--

2090
01:36:54,705 --> 01:36:58,624
- don't talk to me
like I'm stupid! The hell
I tell you 'bout that?

2091
01:36:58,668 --> 01:37:00,960
- I'm sorry! I'm not--

2092
01:37:01,045 --> 01:37:03,504
- if this was your movie
premiere, we'd have been there!
- Ok!

2093
01:37:03,548 --> 01:37:06,423
- Let's go!
- Ok!
- No, hurry up!

2094
01:37:08,219 --> 01:37:12,012
- You can't keep going back
to him, sandy!

2095
01:37:12,098 --> 01:37:15,307
- I know.
- It's not good for you,

2096
01:37:15,393 --> 01:37:19,562
or your son to see. So...
You won't come out now?

2097
01:37:19,647 --> 01:37:23,732
- No.
- Alright, well,
then I'm coming in.

2098
01:37:25,361 --> 01:37:30,447
Girl, listen. My dad was a
raging alcoholic, but that's
what I grew up with.

2099
01:37:30,533 --> 01:37:34,535
And yours died too soon. Neither
one of us knows what a good man

2100
01:37:34,579 --> 01:37:39,832
looks like, and now we stay
in relationships with men even
when they holding us back.

2101
01:37:42,211 --> 01:37:44,628
I got something for this.
Hold on.

2102
01:37:50,928 --> 01:37:53,012
You gon' come out now?

2103
01:38:05,943 --> 01:38:09,528
- You know, I've been thinking
about my dad a lot lately.

2104
01:38:09,614 --> 01:38:13,365
All I wanted to do
was make him proud.

2105
01:38:13,451 --> 01:38:16,577
I don't think he'd be
so proud of me right now.

2106
01:38:16,662 --> 01:38:20,664
- Yes, he would! Pep, you gotta
stop underestimating yourself.

2107
01:38:20,750 --> 01:38:23,125
You are pepa
of salt-n-pepa

2108
01:38:23,210 --> 01:38:25,794
and no one can ever
take that away from you.

2109
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:30,090
(pager beeps)

2110
01:38:32,595 --> 01:38:34,887
- who was that?

2111
01:38:34,972 --> 01:38:37,848
(laughing)
- gavin.

2112
01:38:37,934 --> 01:38:42,436
- Gavin, gavin,
baby daddy gavin.

2113
01:38:42,521 --> 01:38:45,356
(laughing)
ok.
- It's complicated.

2114
01:38:45,441 --> 01:38:49,610
I'm taking him to church.
My pastor is really great.
You should come too.

2115
01:38:49,695 --> 01:38:52,988
Don't give me that look.
- You having sex again?

2116
01:38:53,074 --> 01:38:56,075
- Don't be concerned about me
and gavin having sex.

2117
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:58,410
- Yes!
- Anyway...
- Ok.

2118
01:38:58,496 --> 01:39:02,331
- You know that label, red ant?
It's been dying to sign us.

2119
01:39:02,416 --> 01:39:06,085
Word on the street is they got
a lot of money and they wanna
prove themselves.

2120
01:39:06,128 --> 01:39:08,545
- Listen, I'm down. It's hurby

2121
01:39:08,631 --> 01:39:11,465
that's gonna be the problem.
Best time for us to go.

2122
01:39:11,550 --> 01:39:16,887
Just the two of us.
- This is business, and if hurby
want a little off the top

2123
01:39:16,973 --> 01:39:19,765
from this deal,
fine, he deserves it.

2124
01:39:19,809 --> 01:39:21,809
But if he wanna fight,

2125
01:39:21,852 --> 01:39:25,104
<i> let him take us to court.</i>

2126
01:39:26,857 --> 01:39:29,817
I ain't scared of hurby no more.

2127
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:35,572
- (court clerk): All rise.

2128
01:39:35,658 --> 01:39:38,659
- In the matter of azor

2129
01:39:38,744 --> 01:39:41,954
versus james and denton,

2130
01:39:42,039 --> 01:39:47,501
ruling in favour of the defence,
denton and james. This case
is dismissed.

2131
01:39:47,586 --> 01:39:51,088
(cries of joy)
- dismissed!

2132
01:39:53,009 --> 01:39:57,386
- Y'all don't owe him anything?
- Nothing. And he has to pay
our court fees, so that means

2133
01:39:57,471 --> 01:40:00,431
that now you can work
on your solo album.

2134
01:40:00,516 --> 01:40:03,475
- Good job, baby.
- Good seeing you.

2135
01:40:05,396 --> 01:40:07,604
- I'll see you.
- Bye, gavin. See y'all later.

2136
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:13,527
- Congrats, cher. You finally
got what you wanted, free.

2137
01:40:13,571 --> 01:40:16,321
- It didn't need to be
this way, hurby.

2138
01:40:16,407 --> 01:40:19,616
We tried to get you to settle.
We were gonna give you
everything.

2139
01:40:19,702 --> 01:40:22,494
You let them
persuade you to sue us.

2140
01:40:22,580 --> 01:40:26,206
- Hey... It is what it is.

2141
01:40:26,250 --> 01:40:29,376
I know you hate me.

2142
01:40:29,420 --> 01:40:32,129
But believe it or not,
I'm proud of you.

2143
01:40:32,214 --> 01:40:34,506
Proud of the woman you are,

2144
01:40:34,592 --> 01:40:38,218
proud of what we did.
Remember that?

2145
01:40:40,056 --> 01:40:43,390
Came a long way from
that shy girl at sears,
I'll tell you that.

2146
01:40:43,476 --> 01:40:45,726
- I could never hate you.

2147
01:40:45,770 --> 01:40:48,228
We've been through too much
together for that.

2148
01:40:48,314 --> 01:40:50,314
The issues that
you and I had,

2149
01:40:50,399 --> 01:40:54,818
that's in the past. I'm focused
on the future now.

2150
01:40:58,449 --> 01:41:01,575
- Then I'm gonna head out.

2151
01:41:01,660 --> 01:41:05,412
- Ok. Take care of yourself.

2152
01:41:14,965 --> 01:41:17,841
- Maybe she forgot.

2153
01:41:17,927 --> 01:41:21,887
- So, what do you wanna do?
You wanna call it a day?

2154
01:41:21,931 --> 01:41:24,389
You can still make your meeting.

2155
01:41:24,475 --> 01:41:27,059
- We don't have time to be
running studio sessions
right now.

2156
01:41:27,103 --> 01:41:31,271
We have to deliver an album
by July. She knows that.

2157
01:41:31,315 --> 01:41:33,190
And can you please

2158
01:41:33,275 --> 01:41:37,736
get the junk food
out of my face?

2159
01:41:37,822 --> 01:41:42,032
(sighing)

2160
01:41:42,118 --> 01:41:44,910
- want me to try
and page her again?

2161
01:41:44,995 --> 01:41:47,454
- No. I'll call her.

2162
01:41:52,169 --> 01:41:55,129
Yo, I'm looking for sandy.
Who is this?

2163
01:41:55,172 --> 01:41:59,925
- Who this?
- This is cheryl.
- [oh. Babe!]

2164
01:42:00,010 --> 01:42:02,219
(loud music)
cheryl wanna talk to you.

2165
01:42:02,304 --> 01:42:04,680
- [I'm not home!]
- [you is home.]

2166
01:42:04,765 --> 01:42:08,016
(laughing)
yo, she ain't... She ain't...

2167
01:42:08,102 --> 01:42:10,769
[she was here but she not here,
aight? She not here right now.]

2168
01:42:10,855 --> 01:42:14,690
can I page you back?
- [no.]

2169
01:42:14,775 --> 01:42:17,568
don't bother.

2170
01:42:17,653 --> 01:42:21,655
(loud music and laughter)

2171
01:42:21,699 --> 01:42:24,992
(rap song)

2172
01:42:34,879 --> 01:42:40,424
(muffled rap song)

2173
01:42:42,219 --> 01:42:45,846
(loud music)

2174
01:42:53,147 --> 01:42:56,190
sandy!

2175
01:42:59,820 --> 01:43:02,487
Sandy!

2176
01:43:04,742 --> 01:43:08,619
(loud music)

2177
01:43:16,503 --> 01:43:18,670
sandy!

2178
01:43:18,756 --> 01:43:22,591
- Oh! Hey, girl!
(laughing)

2179
01:43:22,676 --> 01:43:25,302
I'm sorry.
Here come the sheriff.

2180
01:43:25,387 --> 01:43:27,679
- So it's like that? You just
blow me off and then say

2181
01:43:27,765 --> 01:43:31,016
you not here when I call here?
- You know I would invite you,

2182
01:43:31,101 --> 01:43:35,562
but you know you. You don't like
to hang out, so no invite.
- We are supposed

2183
01:43:35,648 --> 01:43:39,858
to be working. I've been
in the studio with al all day.
Let me guess, you forgot?

2184
01:43:39,944 --> 01:43:42,903
- No, I did not forget.
I just was tired today

2185
01:43:42,947 --> 01:43:46,448
and I didn't wanna throw it on
my verse, but tomorrow, boom!
I'm gonna do my verse.

2186
01:43:46,533 --> 01:43:50,744
In fact, you probably should hit
this little blunt so you can
really cool out and be cool.

2187
01:43:50,829 --> 01:43:55,207
That's why I don't mess with
you, 'cause you know...
- You got it.

2188
01:43:55,292 --> 01:43:57,876
- We got time, cheryl.
We ain't gotta trip like this.

2189
01:43:57,962 --> 01:44:01,088
- You got time, but I don't.
Not for all this.

2190
01:44:01,173 --> 01:44:04,091
You don't even know
these people.
- They my friends.

2191
01:44:04,134 --> 01:44:06,760
- Friends.
- They my new friends.
- New friends, ok.

2192
01:44:06,845 --> 01:44:10,722
- That's why you wasn't invited.
- Ok. They ain't gonna be
around long.

2193
01:44:10,808 --> 01:44:13,183
- Ooh! Say how
you really feel, then.

2194
01:44:13,269 --> 01:44:16,770
- And what's that?
- Ok. All the shit you be
talking behind my back,

2195
01:44:16,814 --> 01:44:21,358
how I don't appreciate you, I
don't do nothing in the group,
I'm jealous of you...

2196
01:44:21,443 --> 01:44:25,070
- I never once said that
you was jealous of me.
- You better not say that,

2197
01:44:25,155 --> 01:44:26,530
'cause I ain't.

2198
01:44:26,615 --> 01:44:29,408
I can hold my own any day.
- Did I ever say you didn't?

2199
01:44:29,451 --> 01:44:33,036
- Pff, sometimes.
- Pep, I bend over backwards
to make you happy,

2200
01:44:33,122 --> 01:44:35,956
do everything that I need to do
to make sure that pep is cool,

2201
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:40,210
pep is happy, pep is satisfied,
but it's never enough for you.
What the hell else

2202
01:44:40,296 --> 01:44:42,587
do you want from me?
- Cher, I don't want
nothing from you.

2203
01:44:42,673 --> 01:44:47,134
- Cher! What's up, girl? Hey,
baby girl, looking all...

2204
01:44:47,177 --> 01:44:51,138
Look at you. Look at you.
- Stop acting crazy!

2205
01:44:51,223 --> 01:44:53,974
She go to church now.

2206
01:44:54,059 --> 01:44:57,394
- She going to church now.
- What did I say?
- We did a normal kiss.

2207
01:44:57,479 --> 01:44:59,938
We did a business kiss for you.
(laughing)

2208
01:44:59,982 --> 01:45:03,608
no, cheryl, for real, I'ma see
you tomorrow at the studio.

2209
01:45:03,652 --> 01:45:07,654
I'ma be on that beat.
(vocalising)

2210
01:45:09,533 --> 01:45:11,742
(vomiting)
- mom?

2211
01:45:11,827 --> 01:45:15,537
(knocking)
mom, you ok?
- I'm ok, sweetie, I'm ok.

2212
01:45:15,622 --> 01:45:20,000
I'm ok.

2213
01:45:20,085 --> 01:45:22,794
(dramatic music)

2214
01:45:28,677 --> 01:45:31,511
- ladies, let's be honest.

2215
01:45:31,597 --> 01:45:35,974
The only reason you're here is
'cause your little indie record
label went flip-flop.

2216
01:45:36,060 --> 01:45:39,644
Record sales are down. The only
way to make money is to tour.

2217
01:45:39,730 --> 01:45:43,357
- First of all, before
we agree to anything,

2218
01:45:43,442 --> 01:45:46,193
what are our guarantees?
What are our percentages,

2219
01:45:46,278 --> 01:45:48,862
our accommodations,
transpo...

2220
01:45:48,906 --> 01:45:52,115
- I'm still smoothing all
that out, but it's gonna be
about forty cities.

2221
01:45:52,201 --> 01:45:55,744
- Ok, and what about venues?
So we know how big a show
we could do.

2222
01:45:55,829 --> 01:45:59,998
- It ain't gonna be no arenas.
Mostly clubs. You all wanna...

2223
01:46:00,084 --> 01:46:03,877
Get some dancers, that's on you
two, but I'm just paying
for the two of you

2224
01:46:03,921 --> 01:46:05,796
plus, what is it?
Spin... Spinderella?

2225
01:46:05,881 --> 01:46:08,548
- Nah, that's ok. I'm good.
- Uh, excuse me?

2226
01:46:08,634 --> 01:46:11,176
I don't get to vote? Let me
guess, you just decide

2227
01:46:11,261 --> 01:46:13,428
for the whole group
as you always do.

2228
01:46:13,514 --> 01:46:17,224
- Oh, come on! Five years ago,
we played woodstock.

2229
01:46:17,309 --> 01:46:19,559
Now you wanna settle for these
little clubs with some dude

2230
01:46:19,645 --> 01:46:22,354
who can't even give us
basic information?
- Oh, cheryl,

2231
01:46:22,398 --> 01:46:23,980
some of us have bills.

2232
01:46:24,066 --> 01:46:26,983
- Did I tell you to go out and
buy that big-ass mansion? No.

2233
01:46:27,069 --> 01:46:28,777
- Did you tell me not to?

2234
01:46:28,821 --> 01:46:31,363
'cause I remember I asked
your opinion and you said
"go ahead, sandy!

2235
01:46:31,448 --> 01:46:33,824
We good now!"
did I tell you to produce

2236
01:46:33,909 --> 01:46:36,243
a wack-ass album? No.

2237
01:46:36,286 --> 01:46:38,912
- We were both responsible
for that album, if you remember.

2238
01:46:38,956 --> 01:46:42,707
We had an obligation
and we got it done.

2239
01:46:42,793 --> 01:46:44,918
Besides, that wack-ass album got
you that big-ass advance.

2240
01:46:45,003 --> 01:46:47,379
Now two years later you wanna
talk about bills?

2241
01:46:47,464 --> 01:46:50,715
- Here we go with the two years
and the past and all--

2242
01:46:50,801 --> 01:46:53,552
- ok, ladies, ladies, ladies.

2243
01:46:53,595 --> 01:46:56,012
Let's not do this here.

2244
01:46:56,098 --> 01:46:58,932
- Excuse me? Whose side
are you on anyway?

2245
01:46:59,017 --> 01:47:02,853
Why is it always up to cheryl
to hold everything together?

2246
01:47:11,196 --> 01:47:14,489
Fine. I'll do it.
- That's what's up.

2247
01:47:14,575 --> 01:47:19,035
- Oh, and I'm pregnant, so just
keep that in mind and spring
for a luxury bus.

2248
01:47:19,121 --> 01:47:23,081
- Ooh, thank you so much
for saving me.

2249
01:47:23,125 --> 01:47:26,126

- who is it?

2284
01:49:24,955 --> 01:49:29,499
(knocking)
what? Who is it??
- Girl,

2285
01:49:29,585 --> 01:49:33,086
I had a premonition of death.
Somebody's gonna die.

2286
01:49:37,426 --> 01:49:40,927
- Baby's doing ok.
Everything's fine.

2287
01:49:41,013 --> 01:49:45,390
But, cheryl, you have
to stop working.
- I know,

2288
01:49:45,475 --> 01:49:49,060
but we're almost done
with the tour--
- forget the tour.

2289
01:49:49,146 --> 01:49:54,357
I'm telling you as your doctor,
you have to stop. The amount
of pressure you're under

2290
01:49:54,443 --> 01:49:58,612
can and will hurt the baby.
(dramatic music)

2291
01:50:06,663 --> 01:50:08,955
o puts hot sauce on eggs?
- Well, I do, for one.

2292
01:50:08,999 --> 01:50:12,292
It's aight, you just ain't
ready for all that yet.

2293
01:50:12,377 --> 01:50:14,628
Eat all that up
and you'll see

2294
01:50:14,713 --> 01:50:16,588
at your basketball
game later.

2295
01:50:16,673 --> 01:50:21,384
- I can dribble.
- Yeah, that's what they all say
until they on a basketball court

2296
01:50:21,470 --> 01:50:24,095
with me. Look at your mom!

2297
01:50:24,181 --> 01:50:27,432
Ha! Yeah!

2298
01:50:27,517 --> 01:50:30,185
Yeah, she might know

2299
01:50:30,270 --> 01:50:33,229
what she doing.
She's good, she's good!

2300
01:50:33,315 --> 01:50:36,107
- They sound good.
Don't they sound sweet?

2301
01:50:36,193 --> 01:50:40,320
Yes. I heard on the radio
the other day

2302
01:50:40,364 --> 01:50:43,281
that a lot of us are
coming down with diabetes,

2303
01:50:43,367 --> 01:50:48,453
high blood pressure, and why?
'cause we don't correct

2304
01:50:48,538 --> 01:50:51,498
our relationship with food.
(audience approves)

2305
01:50:51,583 --> 01:50:55,085
case in point, exhibit a:
I love... I love french fries.

2306
01:50:55,170 --> 01:50:58,380
But you know what I found out?
French fries don't love me back.

2307
01:50:58,465 --> 01:51:01,800
(audience laughs)
I do like a glass of red wine
now and then.

2308
01:51:01,843 --> 01:51:06,012
But if you're an alcoholic,
you might go from one wine
to five to ten...

2309
01:51:06,098 --> 01:51:10,016
You can't control it.
You can't find that balance
if you're an alcoholic.

2310
01:51:10,102 --> 01:51:12,686
If you're an alcoholic, wine
ain't gonna love you back.

2311
01:51:12,729 --> 01:51:18,316
And when you drink too much,
what happens? You throw up, you
purge, because your body knows

2312
01:51:18,402 --> 01:51:22,278
it's not good for you.
You come to understand in life

2313
01:51:22,364 --> 01:51:24,948
there are things we do enjoy,

2314
01:51:25,033 --> 01:51:29,369
some things that we do love,
but they are not good for us.

2315
01:51:29,454 --> 01:51:33,331
<i> But they don't love us back.</i>
<i> And you know what?</i>

2316
01:51:33,417 --> 01:51:36,710
It is the same thing

2317
01:51:36,753 --> 01:51:38,795
with people.

2318
01:51:42,050 --> 01:51:44,718
- Baby, I'm tired.

2319
01:51:49,433 --> 01:51:52,517
(soft music)

2320
01:51:54,438 --> 01:51:56,813
baby, stop.

2321
01:51:59,234 --> 01:52:02,068
- You supposed to be
my ride or die.

2322
01:52:02,112 --> 01:52:04,404
You gon' make me beg for it?

2323
01:52:04,489 --> 01:52:08,241
Is we married or not?
- Yes, we are married,
of course.

2324
01:52:08,285 --> 01:52:12,746
But does that mean every time
you wanna do it, I do? No.

2325
01:52:12,831 --> 01:52:15,540
- Hell's wrong with you?

2326
01:52:15,625 --> 01:52:18,001
<i>- What do we love about people?</i>

2327
01:52:18,086 --> 01:52:21,755
Two things. We love
who they are,

2328
01:52:21,798 --> 01:52:25,842
<i> but we also have</i>
<i> to love who we are</i>

2329
01:52:25,927 --> 01:52:29,971
with them. For example,
you may be a woman

2330
01:52:30,056 --> 01:52:34,559
and you might love a guy.
He's a good dude in many ways,
but he's got some anger issues,

2331
01:52:34,644 --> 01:52:38,480
you see what I'm saying? He
keeps putting his hands on you.
Well, you know what?

2332
01:52:38,565 --> 01:52:41,232
He's not gonna stop
until he's good and ready.

2333
01:52:41,318 --> 01:52:43,610
- You don't control me.
You don't tell me what to do.

2334
01:52:43,695 --> 01:52:46,237
- Oh, you telling me
how it's gonna go?
- I am.

2335
01:52:46,323 --> 01:52:49,365
- Nah, I'm telling you
how it's gonna go, bitch!
I wanna divorce!

2336
01:52:49,451 --> 01:52:53,953
How that's gonna go?
- That's fine. Whatever.
That's how it's gonna go.

2337
01:52:53,997 --> 01:52:57,540
(arguing)

2338
01:52:57,626 --> 01:52:59,626
- you may have
a girlfriend,

2339
01:52:59,669 --> 01:53:02,796
<i> a best friend. You like</i>
<i> hanging out with her,</i>
<i> but something happens</i>

2340
01:53:02,839 --> 01:53:08,468
<i>when y'all together. You bring</i>
<i>out the negativity in her, and</i>
<i> vice-versa. The combination,</i>

2341
01:53:08,553 --> 01:53:11,387
the balance, is wrong.

2342
01:53:11,473 --> 01:53:13,890
Crazy's not just being crazy.

2343
01:53:13,975 --> 01:53:17,644
<i>Crazy is doing the same thing</i>
<i> again and again and again</i>

2344
01:53:17,729 --> 01:53:20,730
and expecting what?
A different result.

2345
01:53:20,816 --> 01:53:23,316
<i> That doesn't mean that this</i>
<i> person's a good person</i>
<i> or a bad person.</i>

2346
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:28,404
There's no judgment in this.
Don't expect them to change.
You have the power

2347
01:53:28,490 --> 01:53:33,368
to make that change. And you
know what? You have to control
your own well-being.

2348
01:53:33,453 --> 01:53:35,578
Can I get a amen?

2349
01:53:35,664 --> 01:53:38,414
(cheers and applause)

2350
01:53:38,500 --> 01:53:42,085
(phone ringing)

2351
01:53:42,170 --> 01:53:43,795
- [hey, sandy.]

2352
01:53:43,880 --> 01:53:47,674
- girl, you'll be so proud
of me. I finally got--
- [no.]

2353
01:53:47,759 --> 01:53:50,844
[this time, I'm going first.]

2354
01:53:50,887 --> 01:53:53,346
- ok. Alright.
- [I just...]

2355
01:53:53,431 --> 01:53:58,393
wanna let you know that I don't
wanna be joined at your hip
anymore.

2356
01:53:58,478 --> 01:54:01,938
- What you mean? I don't
understand what you saying.

2357
01:54:02,023 --> 01:54:05,942
(cheryl sobs.)
- [I can't do this anymore.]

2358
01:54:06,027 --> 01:54:09,612
I don't want to do this anymore.

2359
01:54:09,698 --> 01:54:11,990
I just need you to understand,

2360
01:54:12,075 --> 01:54:16,119
I feel like I can't breathe.
- You can't breathe?

2361
01:54:16,204 --> 01:54:18,663
What's the problem?
What's going on?

2362
01:54:18,748 --> 01:54:22,333
- [it's... It's everything.
It's you, it's me,]

2363
01:54:22,419 --> 01:54:26,212
it's me not wanting to be salt
for the rest of my life.

2364
01:54:26,256 --> 01:54:29,215
I wanna turn my life
over to christ,

2365
01:54:29,259 --> 01:54:33,720
and I've tried to make this
work, you know that I have.

2366
01:54:35,932 --> 01:54:38,641
I don't even know who I am.

2367
01:54:38,727 --> 01:54:42,896
I'm in pain all the time.

2368
01:54:42,939 --> 01:54:47,317
I've given everything
I have to salt-n-pepa.
- [you've given everything]

2369
01:54:47,402 --> 01:54:50,904
to this group. Like I haven't?

2370
01:54:50,989 --> 01:54:53,406
[we both got kids.]

2371
01:54:53,450 --> 01:54:57,410
I haven't given anything
to this group?

2372
01:54:57,495 --> 01:54:59,913
It's been the two of us,

2373
01:54:59,956 --> 01:55:03,750
so anything you went through,
I was right there.
- [I know!]

2374
01:55:03,835 --> 01:55:06,169
but that's the point.

2375
01:55:06,254 --> 01:55:09,631
I need to carve out a space
that has nothing to do with you.

2376
01:55:09,716 --> 01:55:13,384
[to figure out what I want
from my life.]

2377
01:55:13,470 --> 01:55:16,012
- word.

2378
01:55:16,097 --> 01:55:20,391
Treach leave, you leave,
my father leave-- that's fine.

2379
01:55:20,477 --> 01:55:24,270
[you're quitting
just like them.]

2380
01:55:26,107 --> 01:55:28,775
I don't need you.

2381
01:55:28,818 --> 01:55:31,235
(sniffling)

2382
01:55:31,279 --> 01:55:34,864
I don't even need you.

2383
01:55:40,205 --> 01:55:43,039
You know that premonition I had?

2384
01:55:43,124 --> 01:55:45,875
It was of us.

2385
01:55:45,961 --> 01:55:48,586
We died.

2386
01:55:48,672 --> 01:55:52,298
Yo, this friendship is dead.

2387
01:55:56,262 --> 01:55:59,806
(sorrowful music)

2388
01:56:14,572 --> 01:56:16,030
(man): Here's wendy williams.

2389
01:56:16,074 --> 01:56:18,574
- (wendy):<i> I've got some</i>
<i> sad news to pass along to you.</i>

2390
01:56:18,660 --> 01:56:22,787
<i> A couple of hip-hop icons</i>
<i> decided to hang up their stuff</i>

2391

<i> and go their separate ways</i>

2392

01:56:56,906 --> 01:57:00,158
- well?

2401
01:57:03,663 --> 01:57:06,039
- Nah. It's not ready yet.

2402
01:57:06,082 --> 01:57:08,875
- Cheryl, you said that
about every mix.

2403
01:57:08,918 --> 01:57:13,296
I mean, we spent a ton of money
on this. We got all the guest
collabs you wanted,

2404
01:57:13,381 --> 01:57:17,800
the hottest producers you asked
for... You telling me you still
don't like it?

2405
01:57:17,886 --> 01:57:20,803
- It just doesn't sound right
without sandy to me.

2406
01:57:20,889 --> 01:57:22,847
There, I said it.

2407
01:57:22,891 --> 01:57:25,516
Sandy pulled me out of my box,

2408
01:57:25,602 --> 01:57:29,062
but I kept her
from going over the edge.

2409
01:57:31,441 --> 01:57:33,941
- I can't tell you
how much of a fan I am.

2410
01:57:34,027 --> 01:57:36,527
- Oh, thank you.
- I grew up on salt-n-pepa.

2411
01:57:36,613 --> 01:57:38,529
So please don't take this
as disrespect, but...

2412
01:57:38,573 --> 01:57:41,741
I didn't realise that,
when I called you, you guys
weren't together anymore.

2413
01:57:41,826 --> 01:57:45,244
Look, without salt, I just...
(phone ringing)

2414
01:57:45,330 --> 01:57:48,331
I just don't think
it's gonna work.
- But we can--

2415
01:57:48,416 --> 01:57:51,417
- yeah, go ahead? Uh-huh.

2416
01:57:51,503 --> 01:57:55,505

2417
01:57:57,425 --> 01:58:00,051

01:58:02,847 --> 01:58:05,890

2420
01:58:07,477 --> 01:58:11,437
- Nah, I'm telling you
how it's gonna go, bitch!
I wanna divorce!

01:58:19,614 --> 01:58:23,741

2423
01:58:23,785 --> 01:58:27,203
- Ok, I'll be right out!

2424
01:58:30,792 --> 01:58:35,044
- Right, right.

2425
01:58:35,130 --> 01:58:37,922
Nah, I hear you. Mm-hmm.

2426
01:58:38,007 --> 01:58:40,800
Yeah, definitely,
I'll let her know.

2427
01:58:40,885 --> 01:58:43,511
Ok. Yeah.

2428
01:58:43,596 --> 01:58:46,305
Alright, you'll hear
from us. Bye.

2429
01:58:46,349 --> 01:58:49,183
- Who was that?
- Uh...

2430
01:58:49,269 --> 01:58:52,311
Vh1.

2431
01:58:52,397 --> 01:58:54,939
Producers. They wanna
honour you guys

2432
01:58:55,024 --> 01:58:57,275
on some, like, hip-hop
hall of fame kinda thing.

2433
01:58:57,360 --> 01:59:00,319
It's in September.

2434
01:59:03,032 --> 01:59:06,993
I kinda figured you wouldn't
wanna do it, that's why I didn't
give you the phone.

2435
01:59:07,036 --> 01:59:10,913
- I have to do it. Vh1 wants
to honour salt-n-pepa,

2436
01:59:10,999 --> 01:59:14,750
and salt says no?
I can't do that.

2437
01:59:16,504 --> 01:59:19,589
They don't want us
to perform, do they?

2438
01:59:35,732 --> 01:59:39,317
- How you feeling, sandy?
You nervous?

2439
01:59:39,402 --> 01:59:41,944
Excited? Pissed off?

2440
01:59:42,030 --> 01:59:43,446
- Yes.

2441
01:59:43,531 --> 01:59:47,033
(fans cheering)

2442
01:59:53,875 --> 01:59:57,210
(audience cheering)
- give it up

2443
01:59:57,295 --> 02:00:00,963
for queen latifah!
(cheers and applause)

2444
02:00:01,049 --> 02:00:04,717
- in the early days of hip-hop,
it was basically a boys' club.

2445
02:00:04,802 --> 02:00:07,178
All the biggest rappers
and djs were men.

2446
02:00:07,263 --> 02:00:11,057
And while a few pioneering
sisters did manage to make
some noise--

2447
02:00:11,100 --> 02:00:14,060
shout-out to roxanne shante,
sha-rock,

2448
02:00:14,103 --> 02:00:16,145
and the ladies of sequence--

2449
02:00:16,231 --> 02:00:19,106
it wasn't until our next
honorees burst onto the scene

2450
02:00:19,192 --> 02:00:24,153
that female rappers were finally
able to shatter hip-hop's
glass ceiling.

2451
02:00:24,239 --> 02:00:26,197
The duo of cheryl "salt" james

2452
02:00:26,282 --> 02:00:30,826
and sandy "pepa" denton started
ricking the mic in 1985
and never looked back.

2453
02:00:30,912 --> 02:00:33,663
Later joined by their dj,
dee dee "spinderella" roper,

2454
02:00:33,748 --> 02:00:36,415
they were the first female
rap group to go platinum.

2455
02:00:36,459 --> 02:00:39,794
They've sold over 15 million
albums worldwide, making them
one of the best-selling

2456
02:00:39,879 --> 02:00:43,756
hip-hop acts of all time, male
or female. They won a grammy,

2457
02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:47,843
they've inspired women and girls
across the globe for the past
two decades,

2458
02:00:47,929 --> 02:00:51,889
and they showed us the true
power of sisterhood.
(cheers and applause)

2459
02:00:57,105 --> 02:01:00,690
I want you all to put your hands
together and make some noise
for my girls,

2460
02:01:00,775 --> 02:01:05,403
the first ladies of hip-hop,
the one and only salt-n-pepa!

2461
02:01:05,446 --> 02:01:09,031
(cheers and applause)

2462
02:01:11,828 --> 02:01:15,621
- we've been doing this
a long time, haven't we?

2463
02:01:15,707 --> 02:01:17,999
When you do it
for as long as we have,

2464
02:01:18,084 --> 02:01:20,293
you gon' have
some battle scars.

2465
02:01:20,378 --> 02:01:23,504
But we still standing.
- And when we wasn't
at our best,

2466
02:01:23,589 --> 02:01:27,717
our fans helped us
to wanna be better.
- We don't just stand for us,

2467
02:01:27,802 --> 02:01:30,428
we stand for all our ladies.
Y'all make us stronger.

2468
02:01:30,513 --> 02:01:35,975
- Wait, hold up, hold up.
But what about the fellas?
- What about the fellas?

2469
