-[somber music playing] -[sirens sounding in distance]
[sirens sounding]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[sobs]
[in Zulu] What have I done?
[in Tswana] What have I done?
[dramatic music playing]
[in English] I knew something bad was gonna happen.
[upbeat song playing]
[Beauty and Sbu grunting and breathing deeply]
[woman] Push it down.
This is all your fault.
[breathing heavily]
Suffering. Suffering is part of the birthing journey.
We must suffer in order to appreciate joy.
I should have never let you rope me into this.
Everything's gonna be fine. Just breathe.
No. You breathe. I'm done with this.
Beauty… [sighs]
Look, I know, my love, you don't want a Capricorn,
but it's a bit too late now.
No, she's talking about the baby shower. Uh, Beauty, please come back into the tub.
All right? We're not done with the simulation.
We have literally done this, like, 100 times.
Mm-hmm. But preparation is key.
Yes, and so is keeping our mothers apart, something you all overrode me on. So…
Beauty, the showering of the new mother is a beautiful, transcendent rite of passage.
It's such a beautiful--
Africa.
This is not a passage. This is a boxing match.
His mother's Cassper Nyovest, and my--
Why's my mother Cassper Nyovest?
Let's breathe. [inhaling and exhaling sharply]
Okay. Beauty, you need to relax, okay? It's just a baby shower.
Afterwards, we get to go away for Christmas.
You know that when it comes to our family, Christmas is always a shitshow.
Yeah, but Tumi's not here this year. What… what… what could go wrong?
[breathing]
Just breathe out. [exhales deeply]
-It's okay. -It's okay.
[upbeat song playing]
[in Tswana] Since Aunt Dineo is a Real Housewife of Joburg now,
surely she could've hired someone for all this labor?
[Grace] Careful, she might hear.
Maybe if you stopped gossiping, we wouldn't be running late.
Maybe if you helped us, we'd be done by now.
And ruin my outfit?
[in English] She's doing too much just for a baby shower.
[in Tswana] I can hear you, and it's a launch.
I'm throwing a baby launch.
You know what?
[in English] You're so out of touch.
[in Tswana] Auntie Grace… [in English] What happened to her?
The spirit of Valencia.
[in Tswana] Keeping up with the Twalas has made her a monster.
Tumi did herself a favor by going on a solocation.
Actually, I wish I was in Rusty Dusty with Moipone instead of being here with Dineo.
Hey, you two, the chicken is not ready!
But I put it on the stove hours ago.
Was that before or after the electricity went off?
-[Bokang in English] Must be the sheds. -[in Tswana] What?
-[in English] Load-shedding. -[in Tswana] It's not Eskom.
Shadrack!
When will you start respecting me by calling me your brother?
I'm busy.
[in English] Shearing. Shearing.
[in Tswana] Not shaving, do you hear me?
That rubbish urn tripped the electricity again.
Fix it. We need to go.
But I haven't even had breakfast.
Shadrack!
Just come and fix it, then you can have breakfast when you are done.
Oh my God. Please give me the strength of Job to deal with my enemies.
This chicken isn't going to cook itself.
-No, Auntie Grace. -Let's go.
-I'm tired. -[Grace] Me too.
Succulent.
[Succulent bleats]
[Shadrack] Let's go before they eat you.
[Dineo] Shadrack!
[grumbles] Dineo, I'm coming!
[menacing percussive music playing]
[music intensifies]
[woman in English] Everything came together quite nicely.
[phone dialing]
Precious.
It's a mess.
Just as I imagined.
The theme was "A royal affair."
[in Zulu] It looks like we're at China Mall.
[in English] Ditch that job.
Or you'll go from Precious the Planner to Precious the Pauper.
[phone disconnects]
Hmm.
I need all hands on deck.
We don't have time.
[woman whispering] Go. Go, go, go.
What the hell is that?
[woman] It's an attraction piece.
Mrs. Sello asked us to hang it up for the guests.
-[Valencia] An attraction piece? -Hmm.
Is that attractive to you?
[grunts softly]
-Get rid of it now. -[whispering] Get rid of it.
[balloon pops]
[balloons popping]
Fuck! [sighs]
[melodic music playing]
[Vusi] Box Office King, Thabang Moleya.
So, what do you prefer? Shall I stand, or should I sit?
I don't know. What is more presidential?
You know what I'm thinking? Maybe we should go to the indoor pool.
Our new home is full of gems with good lighting.
No, no, like we said before, sitting right there is fine, Mr. Twala.
Ah. So formal.
Call me Minister. [chuckles]
Okay, Minister, so with all the issues that are plaguing our country,
what message do you think it sends to our people
for you to be buying a luxury game lodge?
I mean, should they be searching your furniture
for loose change? [chuckles]
Hmm.
You see, um… [clears throat] I'm creating jobs here.
And, um, a lot of people stand to benefit from this.
Like the steel industry.
[chuckles] "Steel…"
Learning can happen, you know, day and night.
Ah, Sibusiso!
Come. Come here and tell the nation that you, the fruit of my loins,
are the real brains behind KwaTwalasberg.
Dad, you do know it's not actually called that, right?
Yeah, it's semantics, son.
As long as they know that it's my lodge, it's fine.
Also, technically not all yours--
All right, cut, man!
"Cut"? You can't say that. That's my job.
Yeah, then do your job. You can see he's derailing the interview.
-[director] Mr. Twala… -Minister.
-Minister… -[Vusi] Yes.
Um, I think your son would be a valuable contribution.
No. [chuckles] Yes, I'd love to, right?
But I'm just not really for the whole cameras thing.
Besides, Dad, you know we have to go to the baby shower.
It won't take long.
[telephone buzzing]
Oh. Oh. My phone… ringing.
Oh. I gotta I take this.
[director chuckles]
I think we should cut him. He doesn't have my charisma. [chuckles]
Themba.
[whispering in Zulu] Brother, what time does your thing start again?
[in English] Why are we whispering?
[whispering in Zulu] I always speak like this.
You're running away from Shaka, aren't you?
I'm this close to getting in the car and fetching the nanny from the Maseru,
because I can't handle this.
-[footsteps pattering] -[Themba breathing shakily]
[suspenseful music playing]
-[Sbu on phone] Themba? -[Shaka giggling]
[Sbu] Hey, what's going on? [in English] Are you still there?
[Themba in Zulu] I think he found me.
[in English] Sbu, sorry.
If you could give us just one or two questions and we can wrap this up?
Wh-wh-whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's that?
It's Dad's interview.
They need a son's perspective.
But I'm a son.
[in Zulu] Listen, T, I have to go. Please don't be late.
Whoa. Brother, what time does this thing of yours start again?
[phone disconnects]
[sighs in frustration]
[suspenseful comedic music playing]
[Shaka babbles]
[toy gun sounding]
-Fuck. -[Shaka] Fuck!
[Shaka giggles]
Great.
[in Zulu] Now he'll be repeating that the whole day today.
-We need to go home right now. -Right now?
[in English] Is the shower there now? Did I read the invitation wrong?
-Oh, fuck. -[Shaka] Fuck!
-Hey! -[Shaka babbles]
No, there's a father-and-son interview happening at home,
and I'm not even there.
Sbu got your parents out of their financial hole?
So? Baby…
[in Zulu] …how hard is it to balance some books,
get an investor, and buy a lodge?
Okay, Themba, where's your lodge, then?
Come on, can't you see what's happening?
What?
Ever since Sbu came back from London, they don't care about us.
-[sighs] -You don't see it. No, you don't see it.
[Lydia in English] This is all in your head, okay?
[in Zulu] This lodge is for the entire Twala family.
Now please, Themba…
[in English] Can we get ready? Because we are always late.
[objects clattering]
[Shaka] Fuck.
[both] Fuck!
["No! No! Señor" by Brenda and the Big Dudes playing]

[sighs] You're welcome, Dineo.
You know, Precious was not available.
[in Zulu] So I decided to put this together myself.
[in English] What do you think?
Yo, yo, yo!
Now this is giving.
What's giving?
[in Tswana] People had their own duties to fulfill.
[in English] Décor was not your portion, Valencia!
I paid a lot of money for this,
and I was not going to let you ruin it with your--
This is my daughter's baby launch.
[in Tswana] You're lucky you're even a part of the planning.
I may be a Christian, but I'm not afraid to--
[Beauty in English] What's going on?
-Nothing. -Nothing.
[Grace] Your mothers here are discussing the running of the day.
Good.
'Cause I don't want any surprises.
No posting on social media, no drama, and absolutely no--
Fighting. [in Tswana] Even when the devil herself walks among us--
-Ma. -[sighs]
My goodness, Ma. Did you do all of this?
[in English] This is stunning.
This time I must tell you, you outdid yourself.
No?
Why don't the two of you go finish up getting ready?
We have everything. Right?
-Beauty. -[tense music playing]
Beauty.
[Valencia giggles]
I've missed this.
The point is, this new lodge that we, as the Twalas, have acquired,
is certainly going to put us on the map.
It's probably the same size as Cyril's.
I wouldn't say that.
Yeah, you're quite right. It's probably bigger. [laughs]
But who's measuring anyway, right? [laughs]
[horn honking]
[upbeat song playing]
-[in Zulu] Oh my goodness! -[camera clicking]
Um…
[in English] Cut!
That's my job.
-[in Zulu] What are you doing here? -Vusimuzi.
[Vusi in English] Did you just call me by my full name?
[in Zulu] Things are bad, brother,
ever since mom passed away.
I've even tried to communicate with her.
Nothing's working.
Things are bad. They even stole my car. It's gone.
[in English] Excuse me.
-Siya… -[Siya in Zulu] It's important.
It's not Mom's fault that they stole your car.
[in English] It's the karma for all the ste… um...
The stealthy ways that you have, ahem, acquired your assets in the past, you see.
[in Zulu] I'm glad you could make it.
Just in time for us to leave. [in English] We have to go.
[Siya in Zulu] It's important that we connect with Mom.
She is very angry at me.
Who knows what she'll do next?
[in English] Minister Twala,
I didn't realize you were a traditional man.
Oh yeah, I am a traditional man through and through.
[in Zulu] You know, bones, ancestors, traditional healers…
[in English] …and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. [clicks tongue] I love it. Yeah.
[in Zulu] So we'll do it?
[in English] Look, as much as I'd love to…
[clears throat] When we are done with the shower,
we are going to go as a family to my lodge for a family retreat.
So your brother will be joining you for your family holiday?
Of course he's going with us. Yeah.
So that we can connect properly with our mother on our ancestral land.
Yes. [laughs]
It's not our ancestral land. Um, it's not--
Again, semantics.
Hold on.
Are you getting this?
-[horn honks] -[in Zulu] My goodness.
[in English] Okay, I'm here! I'm here! I'm here!
[in Zulu] Right on time.
Now I can be part of the footage.
[in English] You can get your footage from all the Twala--
[in Zulu] Uncle, are you okay?
Please, can we stop? We need to go. [in English] The baby shower. Dad, please.
[in Zulu] What about my segment?
Um, listen.
[in English] It's Sbu's day, so whatever he says goes.
[in Zulu] Brother…
[in English] …please, just make sure you send me the BTS.
[in Zulu] I want to outshine Tito and his Lucky Star posts.
-[both laugh] -[Vusi in English] Bye.
Okay. Um…
[director] No, sorry. We got everything we need.
Thank you. Okay, let's go.
[Beauty groans] Shit. Motherfucking shit!
[cries]
[Thando] Beauty.
-Ah… -I didn't want this.
-[in Sotho] You do want this. -I don't.
[in English] Relax. [in Tswana] Do you see what the stress is doing to you?
-[in English] Friend! -I'm just trying to help you.
[in Tswana] Babes, let's do this. Ha-ha!
Ah. And you?
[in English] A heads-up on the wedding dress code vibes would've been nice.
[in Tswana] Just look at me. I'm so underdressed. Look at me. I'm here.
Zama, what are you doing here?
[in English] What? Is the baby shower cancelled?
Sorry, ma'am, this is a private family function.
Oh, then consider me family.
[in Tswana] My sister.
-[Thando in English] Zama? -Eh?
I thought I told you that I was meeting you later.
Oh.
[in Tswana] I know, but after you told me how uptight Beauty is about this shower…
[in English] …I thought I'd come in and spread some December vibes.
[in Tswana] Right?
[humming]
[in English] I… I promise you I didn't say that. I swear to God.
[in Tswana] You did say that.
You said she was whining and annoying.
Don't look at me like that. [in English] I've got the receipts.
Please excuse us.
-You. Come. -[in Sotho] Me? Friend.
[Zama] Hey!
[in Tswana] Some tequila?
[Thando in English] Friend…
[Zama grunts]
[Thando] Friend, I promise you, I did not… I did not ever say that.
I didn't even invite her. I promise you.
"Annoying."
"Whining."
[Beauty urinating]
You know what? You must just never listen to, you know, Zama because she day drinks.
You know what? Maybe you and your new best friend
should go and drink elsewhere.
That way you don't have to deal with my uptight ass.
-Excuse me, Beauty. -[toilet flushes]
Ever since you got pregnant,
and Refiloe's all boo'd up wherever she is,
who do you expect me to pop bottles with?
I mean, she slipped in my DMs. [in Tswana] It was fun.
[in English] Great, let's be friends. She's a nice person.
[in Sotho] But you know that… [in English] You're my day one. I got you.
[inhales sharply] Look, friend, maybe you should give her a chance.
She's really--
Thando, she pitched up uninvited with a bottle of tequila to a baby shower.
Did somebody say tequila? Ha-ha!
[under breath] What the fuck?
Oh. Uh…
So…
what are we having? [babbles]
-I see. -[Thando clears throat]
We don't want to know the gender.
[in Tswana] Huh. So there's no gender reveal?
-[in English] Nope. -So this is just a lunch, then?
[in Tswana] Friend… [laughs]
[in English] I think we should just get going
to, you know, the baby shower.
[in Tswana] Wait, hold on.
I know you're frustrated.
Your feet even look like fat cakes.
And I'm sure you're not sure if you're glowing due to the pregnancy or it's just sweat.
But it's fine. I'm here to celebrate with you.
[in English] I'll prove it. I'll help you get ready.
[in Tswana] I'll even do your makeup.
[in English] My makeup's done.
It is.
It is. [exhales]
-So great! -[Thando laughing]
[in Tswana] Friend…
[in English] Yes, let's… [whispering] Get out of here.
[in Tswana] When is lunch?
I've lost weight with all this manual labor.
Let me tell you something, brother.
[in English] Next year at this time, I'll be far.
[in Tswana] This is no way to spend every December. I can't.
Dineo is worse.
"Grace!"
"Shadrack!"
Hey.
I wish Moipone was here to pray for her.
Maybe Moipone can pray for my horniness.
It's dry.
My brother, it's dry.
-No, man. -Dry!
Dry! There's no potential.
Oh.
Is that the reason you're dressed like this?
Like what?
[Siya sighs]
[in Zulu] I hate Christmas.
[in Tswana] Last year's Christmas wasn't too bad.
Hm-mmm.
[in Zulu] The same Christmas when my mom died?
[in English] Oh, yeah.
[in Tswana] By the way…
[upbeat music playing]
[Siya whimpering]
[cries, sniffles]
[upbeat music playing]
[camera shutter clicking]
-[Shaka giggling] -[in Zulu] Come back here.
[Themba shouts playfully]
Mmm.
[in English] Okay, what is with this no-phones policy?
[sighs] Beauty wants a low-profile pregnancy
after what happened last year.
I cannot wait
until our Sun City baecation tomorrow.
[both chuckle, kiss]
Feed me a strawberry.
[Bokang] Isn't that Zamalicious?
[Terrance] That's Zamalicious, baby.
-These huns… -I love her.
-…better keep their husbands in check. -[laughs]
All right, could everybody please settle down,
so that we could start all the proceedings?
Thank you.
[brass band playing]
[people cheering and applauding]
[Thando] Welcome to Beauty and Sbu's baby shower.
Right?
[in Tswana] Let's give them a round of applause.
-[crowd applauding] -[laughs] Whoo!
[in English] This friend…
Oh guys, can I please tell you?
My friend, we've been friends for so long.
We did everything together.
-Everything -Everything. [laughs]
Except for getting married.
And having kids.
But anyway, uh… [laughs]
Can we please welcome Mam'Sello so she can do an opening prayer for us?
[in Tswana] Please give her a round of applause.
[guests applaud and cheer]
[woman] Sister!
She wants you to sing.
Oh.
[singing "Modimo Rea Ho Boka"]
[guests join in singing]
[song ends]
[guests cheering and applauding]
[in English] Glory!
Hallelujah!
[guests] Amen!
[in Tswana] Our faithful Father. Let's close our eyes, please.
Our faithful Father…
[in English] Our Father who is so loving.
[Shadrack in Tswana] Listen to that English.
[in English] You are our Alpha and Omega.
[woman] Amen!
[in Tswana] Thank you for your mercy
upon our lives and the lives of our children.
[guest 1] You are beautiful, God.
We are grateful for the child that will be born into the Sello family.
[guest 2] Hallelujah!
A child that will be born into a spiritual home.
[guest ] Amen!
I mean…
even if it is from only one side of the family.
-[guests cheering] -[Dineo] Hallelujah!
-Hallelujah. Hallelujah. -[Shadrack] You're making noise.
Your prayer was heartfelt.
[in English] That was a great prayer, right?
[in Tswana] We all heard you, Ma.
[in English] And now, we're going to welcome the Twalas,
so that they can give us an official welcoming onto the ceremony.
-[horns playing] -[guests applauding]
-I thank you. -Sure.
As the, um… Minister of Home Affairs
in the Democratic Republic of South Africa,
I would like to welcome you all by saying, "All protocol--"
[suspenseful music playing]
[in Tswana] Observed, man.
[in English] Observed.
-Vusi. -Um… [clears throat]
From time to time,
as people, we find ourselves, uh… [clears throat]
…in a state of emergency…
Um…
[microphone feedback]
[Vusi coughing]
[Valencia laughs awkwardly] Excuse the minister.
Uh, but as the First Lady of Home Affairs…
[Shadrack] Yes!
[Valencia] …I am very capable
to continue with the proceedings.
It is with great pride that we, the Twala family,
present the gift to baby Twala.
No, sorry, Mama. There's no gifts yet.
-A herd of elephants… -[guests gasping]
[guests applauding]
[Valencia] …and a generous portion of the luxury lodge we acquired.
[in Zulu] Were elephants on the gift registry?
I don't know.
[in English] The baby will have more than a spiritual upbringing.
Thank you.
[guests applauding]
Thank you.
Wow, isn't that just amazing?
Wow, right? A whole lodge.
[in Tswana] Wow, give her a round of--
-[in English] Hallelujah. -[guests] Amen.
[in Tswana] We all know that elephants don't take us to heaven.
-[in English] Hallelujah. -[guests] Amen.
-[Dineo] Hallelujah. -[guests] Amen.
[in Tswana] Uh, now that it is time for the gifts,
please go fetch my gift and bring it here.
[in English] No.
-Please, hurry up. My gift. -[Shadrack] Sorry, Mrs. Speaker.
[sighs heavily]
[in Tswana] Yes, sir?
When are we eating?
[guests murmuring]
[exhales]
[breathing heavily]
Vusi!
[in Zulu] What's going on?
Must I call an ambulance?
-[whimpers] -[Valencia] Huh?
-[in English] She's here. -[in Zulu] Who?
[Dineo, angrily] Valencia!
[gasps, mutters]
[Vusi pants]
[Dineo, angrily] Valencia!
[in English] This baby holds Beauty's history from her childhood.
-[in Tswana] What's wrong with you? -[in English] This thing was ugly.
[in Tswana] And you're beautiful?
[screaming]
-[in English] What? What? What? -[panting]
The baby's coming.
Right now? Wait. We should call the police, right?
No, I just need somewhere quiet to just… breathe.
-[in Tswana] I'm coming with you. -[in English] No!
Not you two.
-Can I come? -Yes! You come!
Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Africa's not answering her phone. But I think my dad can get the Hawks.
-Everything's gonna be fine. -Relax. I'm fine.
I just needed to find a way
to stop our mothers from going all Love & Hip Hop on us.
Wait, you were faking?
Wouldn't be the first time.
With the baby.
[knocking on door]
I'm fine.
Braxton Hicks!
-[sighs heavily] -Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[in Zulu] You scared me.
[in English] I'm carrying the baby.
She's fine! She's fine. She's fine.
But you know you can't do this, right? Remember what Afrika said, baby?
[both] We're fine!
[sighs] I really don't need a lecture right now.
I told you I didn't want this baby shower.
And now look. I'm stressing and shouting.
All the things the baby doesn't need me to be.
[sentimental music playing]
I just need a minute.
Alone.
[Valencia] Vusi!
[in Zulu] What's going on, Vusi? What's wrong with you? Huh?
-[in English] She's here. -[in Zulu] Who, Vusi?
-Zama. [panting] -Zama?
Zama. Zama! [panting]
-[in English] Are you sure? -[in Zulu] She was staring right at me.
-[in English] I'm really-- -[exclaims]
[in Zulu] You know what, Vusi? You better pray that nobody finds out.
Do you understand me? You better pray nobody finds out, Vusi.
[in English] You know, I'm tired. I'm sick and tired by being embarrassed…
-[in Zulu] …with you and your affairs. -[dryer blows]
[in English] I'm so sick and tired. [in Zulu] I can't handle this.
[sentimental music continues]
[Zama sighs]
[in English] Is that weed?
[sighs] I needed to take the edge off.
Do you see this baby bump?
[in Tswana] Oh! Thando was right about your uptightness.
[in English] I'm just under a lot of stress, okay?
My girl, I just offered you a drag, not a shoulder to cry on.
[Zama sighs]
-What, are you leaving? -[Zama] Yes. I made a mistake coming here.
I need to realign with my chakras.
[car door opens]
[Beauty] That sounds exactly like what I need.
[car door closes]
[Zama sighs]
[Beauty] I can't just leave my own baby shower.
[in Tswana] Fine, then.
[in English] You know, this reminds me of the time
I ran out on my wedding with Tumi.
[engine starts, revs]
[in Tswana] Who is Tumi?
[upbeat music playing]
[Beauty in English] She's my sister, and she's a legend.
Zama could be anywhere, leaking classified information.
[Valencia] Just keep looking.
[Shadrack grunts] Satan!
-[Themba] Dad. Ma. -Yes?
-[in Zulu] What about Shaka's elephants? -Themba, we're busy.
[in English] Themba? Themba, code brown. Code brown.
[in Zulu] Handle it.
[in English] He needs one of us to hold him.
[in Zulu] Remember what happened last time?
We're not done here.
[Valencia] Oh my goodness.
You know what? You know what?
We need to do something big for Mom.
I say we slaughter one of Shaka's elephants.
I'm ready.
[in English] Really, Vusi? [in Zulu] Why did you invite him to our holiday??
[in English] One disaster at a time. Please, Val.
-Valencia, I need an apology from you. -Oh, gosh! [in Zulu] My goodness.
[Dineo in Tswana] Valencia, I'm talking to you.
-Valencia! -[plate breaks]
-[in English] Not now. We're looking for-- -Beauty, have you seen her?
I've been looking all over. I can't find her.
I just saw the mama drive off. I'm not sure what to make of that.
I mean, is the baby shower over?
Do I ask you, or…?
-You? -Why would she drive off?
-I'm not sure who's in charge now. -[Sbu] Why? Where's she going?
["Tanzania" by Uncle Waffles and Tony Duardo playing]
[engine revving]
[in Tswana] Are you okay?
[Beauty in English] I can't believe you brought me to Konka.
[Zama sighs]
Now my chakras are in line.
[singing along to "Tanzania"]
[in Tswana] My friend!
Ha-ha!
[exclaiming]
[singing along to "Tanzania"]
[phone buzzing]
[phone ringing]
-[Beauty in English] Hello? -Beauty, where are you?
-[mouthing] Beauty, come! -["Tanzania" continues]
Uh, I'm at Konka with Zama.
[Sbu] Konka?
You left me, friend!
You see what you did, Valencia?
Uh, Dineo, this thing is ugly.
[Beauty] You know what? I'm done playing referee.
You guys can go and enjoy your baby shower.
-[in Zulu] I'm going to get my wife. -We're coming with you.
-[in English] No. Why? -For support, Sbu.
[in Zulu] Is this the Konka with the sparkling champagne?
[in English] Can't believe they went without me.
They're not going to let you pensioners go in.
So we should all just go.
[in Tswana] Grace, go and fetch the food and gifts.
We're going home!
You and your friend, notify all the guests.
[in English] I hope you're happy with yourself now.
Ugh. Let's go, Vusi.
[upbeat club music playing]
I'm-- I'm going to Konka.
[in Tswana] What's going on with this lunch?
[upbeat club music continues]
Beauty.
My gosh. [in English] You can't be at a groove and sulking.
[in Tswana] It's December! I mean, really?
[Zama hums]
[in English] Please, you have no idea what I'm going through.
[in Tswana] My friend, we all have our own shit, for goodness sake.
[in English] What could you possibly be going through?
What, not enough followers on the Gram?
Uh, try a sick mother…
[in Tswana] …who passed away a month ago.
-[cork pops] -[crowd cheers]
-[in English] I'm so sorry. I had no idea. -[Zama sighs]
[in Tswana] What do you want me to do? Carry her tombstone and cry about it?
Okay, thank you, girls.
[in English] Thank you, girls. Thank you, Christmas girls. Ho! Ho! Ho!
You know, I know what it feels like.
I lost a baby a year ago.
[in Tswana] And look at you now.
Enjoy life.
[in English] Fuck everybody.
[in Tswana] They're going to disappoint you anyway.
[in English] No. You know what? Actually, that's bullshit.
Because my mothers have been doing this shit for three years straight,
and it has to stop.
-[in Tswana] You're totally right. -[Beauty] Hmm.
You're right.
People can't just throw you out then Johnnie Walker it.
[in English] What?
Fuck it, man. Fuck. [in Tswana] Let's go back to the baby shower.
[in English] It's time to hold some motherfuckers accountable.
Um… I'm mad at them, but don't call my mother a motherfucker.
-[upbeat song playing] -Ooh! Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
I'm sorry, what happened to holding people accountable?
[in Tswana] After this song, please.
[humming]
What a disaster.
Who is that?
[Shadrack humming]
[microwave beeps]
[Shadrack humming]
-[electricity crackling] -[microwave dings]
Oh my goodness.
Must a man die of hunger?
I'm going to fix it.
Auntie, please switch on the gas stove so we can eat warm food.
[in Xhosa] Hmm. With this hat?
[in English] Okay.
[whimsical music playing]
-[switch clicks] -[electricity humming]
Hmm.
[electricity crackling]
[electricity humming]
[electricity crackling]
[in Zulu] This is unbelievable. What are you feeding this child?
[in English] Are you blaming me for the fact your son is always pooping?
[in Zulu] Where is everyone?
[upbeat club music playing]
[Sbu] They're not here.
-Huh? -I can't find them.
But we're here. Let's order.
Stop it.
Stop it, Siya.
[in English] Sorry. I can't find them anywhere. The bathroom, nowhere.
[in Zulu] What about Zama? Did you see her?
[in English] No.
[in Zulu] Let's find the owner of this place,
to show us the CCTV footage.
[in English] You know, that is a brilliant idea,
because then we'll be able to see how long did Zama and Beauty chat for.
[in Zulu] We'll be able to see if Beauty's facial expression changes.
[in English] Then we can read their lips.
Okay, okay, yeah.
[in Zulu] You do that, and I'll do a clean sweep.
I'll look for them on the stage.
-What if she tells Beauty everything? -Tell her what? She won't say anything.
[upbeat club music continues]
[in Xhosa] Minister, you also come to places like this?
[in English] Oh yes. I'm a man of the people.
[phone chimes]
-[in Zulu] She sent a message. -What?
We just missed them. Zama is taking her to the Sellos.
-Sellos? -Yes.
Let's go.
No. I want to go alone.
[in English] Because I really don't want the drama. Please.
[in Zulu] No, let's all go.
I just want to apologize to Beauty's mom.
[in English] Yes, yes, um, she wants to apologize.
That's why we must go there.
[in Zulu] Okay. Okay, no, let's go.
Where is Uncle Siya?
Oh, God, he's over there.
[crowd cheering]
What are these gay guys doing?
[horn honks]
-[in English] Are you back from Konka? -Konka?
To look for Beauty.
Your whole family went there.
How? The coordinator said everybody came back here.
[in Tswana] Bokang! You're busy kissing your boyfriend.
[in English] We have to feed people! [in Tswana] Come and help!
[in Zulu] I need to go to Konka. I'm going to Konka.
[in English] Themba! Th-- Hey!
If you leave me here, I'll leave you and give you full custody of your son.
[in Zulu] Hey, hey. Come here, my boy.
Bokang!
[electricity buzzing, crackling]
Beauty…
[in Tswana] Oh, my baby…
I was worried about you.
I'm really sorry.
-That woman brings out the street in me. -Ma.
[Dineo kisses]
I'm sorry. Let's have something to eat.
May I please also have a plate of food?
I'm sick of Mogodu Mondays. [laughs]
[in Afrikaans] Thank you.
Ah.
-[in Tswana] Hello. Is Vusi not back yet? -No.
Amen. Mmm.
[in English] Hey.
-Zama. -Mmm. Hmm?
Now, why the fuck would you take a pregnant woman to Konka?
-[in Tswana] You should've seen her. -[in Zulu] It was so much fun.
The champagne was spitting fire.
-[Sbu in English] Hello, runaway bride. -Hey, baby!
[in Zulu] You scared me.
-[in English] I'm sorry. -I need a favor from you, okay?
Never ever kidnap our baby again.
That's only if you promise no more baby showers.
-Deal. -Deal.
All right.
I missed you.
How does that make any sense?
[in Tswana] Thank you so much, Ma.
What is she doing here?
I'm going to kill her.
Sister, no. Let's go over there.
[in Zulu] Let me talk to her.
Dad…
you left me again?
-Not now, Themba. Give me two minutes. -When are we going to talk, Dad?
-We'll talk-- -When?
Vusi, just hear him out. [in English] Just hear him out.
-[in Zulu] Really? -Yes.
[sucks teeth]
[Themba] I want to start with the issue of the elephants.
Go and eat your food.
[in English] Did I stutter?
Sorry.
[in Zulu] Can we talk? [in English] Somewhere private.
[in Tswana] Actually, I'd rather talk to Vusi.
Oh! [laughs]
[in Zulu] Look at what you did. Let's go. I'll get you another plate.
[Zama grunting]
[in Tswana] Don't grab me like that.
[in Afrikaans] Jesus. [in Tswana] What is wrong with you?
[in Zulu] You have some nerve coming here.
[in English] So you do know about me?
I know everything about my husband's life.
And still you stay with him.
So you're not that bad bitch everybody makes you out to be?
You're one of those… [in Tswana] What do they call them?
"Suffering aunties." Ha!
Are you not embarrassed about your situation?
Ooh! This auntie is trying to test me.
[in Xhosa] Excuse me.
I need to turn on the urn…
[in Tswana] She can't tell me anything.
[in Zulu] It's done.
-[in Xhosa] I want to wash the dishes. -[in Zulu] We'll wash them.
[in Xhosa] You need to make sure the urn and the wires are sitting correctly.
[in Zulu] We'll wash them.
-[in Xhosa] All of them? -[in Zulu] Go.
[in Xhosa] Thank you.
-[electricity crackling] -[in Tswana] Listen here…
I'm here for Vusi.
Tell him to grow some balls and come talk to me…
[in English] And not send his wife. [in Tswana] Do you understand me?
Don't touch me!
[Zama gasps]
Oh gosh.
[exclaims]
Oh, hell no.
[upbeat, whimsical music playing]
[yelps, exclaims]
Who does she think she is?
[in Zulu] Oh, no! Fire!
[electricity crackling, sparking]
[upbeat, whimsical music continues]
[Valencia] Vusi!
-[in Zulu] Dad. -[in English] Just a minute.
[in Xhosa] Fire!
Vusi! Vusi!
Fire!
[in Zulu] Fire!
[in Zulu] There's a fire in the house.
[in Zulu] Fire!
-[dramatic music playing] -[crowd clamoring]
[in Zulu] Fire!
[crowd shouting]
[inaudible dialogue]
-[somber music playing] -[shouting echoes]
Succulent!
[Succulent bleats]
[in Tswana] Oh, thank you, brother. Thank you, brother.
[sobbing]
[in Zulu] What have I done?
[in Tswana] What have I done?
[all gasp]
Mama.
[in Zulu] Is that you?
[in English] I knew something bad was gonna happen.
Tumi or no Tumi.
[somber music continues]
