- OK. - Hit the little red thing.
Hit the board or the bull's eye?
- Oh, I'm sorry. - What the fuck?
- Sorry. - Watch yourself, girl!
All right, you need to piss off.
Calm down. - You got a problem, bredren?
No one--no one has a problem.
Look, that was my bad. I'm sorry.
Hey. We're having a good time.
Hmm. Yeah.
Having a great time. - Yeah, so ready to watch me...
- Oh, I'm watching. - Show you how to play darts?
I'm watching you. [chuckles]
I think we going to bounce.
Yeah, that's cool. Got that.
All right, bro. Be safe.
Well, uh...
this was fun.
[sighs]
Well, that game was something. [door closes]
Learning you and Lisa used to smash was definitely revealing.
- Just stop. - Karaoke.
We should do karaoke. I'm with it!
Lisa, you down?
Hey, no Taylor Swift, Carlton.
Do you always change the subject
when things get uncomfortable?
What are you talking about?
It just seems like you avoid conflict.
And it seems like you love it.
No, I just call things like they are.
You love straddling the fence.
Or maybe I can appreciate both sides of an issue,
because things aren't so black and white.
- But sometimes they are, Will. - Hey, yo, Amira, babe.
- No, baby, I'm... - This--
Talking.
[sighs]
Look, I'm just saying, if everybody gets along,
then you never have to pick a side.
Look at the way that you treat Lisa and Jackie.
OK, Amira, it's fine.
Yo, Carlton, get your girl, bro.
- Will, please. - Get your girl.
No, if I'm wrong, I'll shut up.
Yes, please. That's the best idea you had all night,
'cause nobody's feeling what you're saying.
- You sure about that? - Carlton!
I mean...
she's not entirely wrong.
[clicks tongue, scoffs]
It's all good. I get it. You would say that.
You're still trying to get some.
Lisa, how about you?
I mean, I did smooth things over
with Jackie earlier so that you didn't have to be the bad guy.
What?
Sometimes I stuff down how I'm feeling
so we can focus on what you're going through.
You don't even know what's going on with her.
You know what?
Fuck this shit, man.
Oh, yeah, walk away. That's what you do, huh?

Mm.
