And normally I don't mix

business with pleasure.

What the hell?

No disrespect, I've been

♪ Well ever left her 'lone

They don't pay me enough

to run around here fast like,

that's why I walk slow.

I have to pee anyway.

Speaking of peeing did you

all know that eating asparagus

turns your pee green,

and eating beets

turns your pee red, you

gotta eat a lot of 'em.

So I'm eating healthy, and

I'm saving a lot of money

on food coloring

around Christmas time.

Now that's just foul man.

Let's talk about my kid.

Just had a kid a little while

ago, I love him, he's great.

We had to get rid

of a cat though.

That's a big thing.

What's he doing here?

Everybody thinks

that they love their kid.

I don't know, but I know

Xena don't allow nobody

passing out flyers in the club.

So we had to get rid of

the cat, and it's fine by me.

There she go right there,

Xena 'bout to shut that down.

I hate cats.

You can watch the show now.

I'm a dog, any cat

people here, cat lovers? No.

Yep.

Almost, almost but no.

Looks like you got

that one right, as usual.

Something fishy going on here.

I can feel it, I can smell it.

I'm gonna be nosy and

see what's going on.

Here this cat goes.

Feel like

cats are kind of sneaky.

You know what I mean?

You're like halfway

down a cat's back

any cat anywhere yes,

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

yes, all the way to the tip

of the turn of your back.

What's going on,

what's happening here?

We get to pass out

flyers in the club now?

What's up, Xena?

Oh, I see how it is,

when I was coming in

with my little fruit on

the side wouldn't nobody

let me pass out no flyers.

I had that big box, you

remember that big box of flyers

when I had them fruits

in the little bag.

Everybody was hating on me and

my little entrepreneurship.

But nah, you get

to walk in here.

What you got going

on here anyway.

My bad, that was real

disrespectful, can I see your flyer?

Thank you, sir.

Two can be prejudiced

birds, if my son comes home

smelling like a bird he's

out, we don't play that,

we don't do that.

That boy crazy.

What's up, how Bobby doing?

So far so good.

But what I wanna know is,

why did you bring that

and fetch this nasty bathroom

towel back to the table man?

This?

Yeah, that's nasty.

'Cause I'm not touching

the doorknob, dude,

after I come out the bathroom.

I know who wash their hands

around here and who don't.

Having pee dribble

I'm not touching that.

True, but you just brought

back those infectious diseases

back to the table

When, when daddy?

When I was on my honeymoon

wondering why you

missed my wedding?

Or when I had to walk

myself down the aisle?

When?

Look, I'm working on this okay?

I was not gonna

miss your wedding.

Juice, he over there on

that juice, don't believe

what he say, okay?

Juice didn't tell me.

But what I'm wondering

is why you didn't?

It's been me and

you since forever.

Since when do we hold

secrets this big?

We don't.

I can't tell.

Look,

I'm not doing the show.

Dad, come on.

I mean I already told

Xena I'm not gonna do it.

You can't, I can't let you

do that, you gotta do it.

It's done.

No, it's not done, dad.

Yes it is.

I told Xena already,

so she's probably trying

to find somebody else.

Do the show dad,

just do the show,

come to the reception.

I told Xena already.

What everybody looking

so miserable for, huh?

We had a great show,

and that no minimum

thing really worked.

Kiki what did we gross?

Girl, I don't know,

I'm still over here

counting all this money, mm.

Ha ha!

God is good.

All the time.

Hey Xena, I know Teejay

not doing the show no more

you got anybody else in mind?

You know, that's hilariously

handsome, or Capricorn?

Maybe a little bit of Juice?

Is she ignoring me?

Yeah, as she should ignore you.

Well, well, well,

Mr. Secretive.

See, that's what you get.

Kiki, can I get a shot

of something please?

KB can you pour

Teejay a shot please?

I'm still over here

counting all this money.

Hey, Twinkle, yeah,

yeah, this is Xena Marie,

how you doing?

So where the.

Oh no you didn't boo-boo kitty.

She really think she Taraji.

Xena, just listen.

Do you know who

you just hung up on?

Girl, that was Twinkle, Twinkle

is big time, and my friend.

- I need to talk to you.

- Have you lost your mind?

What, did you go crazy?

What the kids say, crazy cray?

Cray cray.

What?

My niece taught me that,

she cut my hair too.

Xena, just listen to me.

Look, now the show

is one week from now.

Yes, I know your wedding

is one week from now

but girl, this is business,

and I need to let these people

know the real deal.

Now give me back my phone.

Xena, just hear me out.

- Give me back my phone.

- Just hear me out.

No, don't listen to her, boss.

Shut up, dad.

What the hell is going on?

No, call them back

and tell them wrong

number or something,

he will be doing the show with

no exceptions and no excuses.

What the hell?

No excuses.

Now that's love right there.

Some cold blooded ish.

Kiki give us all a round

of drinks, my nerves is bad.

Hey.

Juice too?

Yeah, even him too.

Yeah, Juice too, yeah.

Yeah, I understand what

you're saying but I mean

look at my point here,

you know what I mean?

Well, Ms. Xena,

you obviously don't.

I sent a comedian

here the other day

and she said you didn't

even acknowledge her.

What, who?

See, that's my point.

Women go out in groups tend

to support other women.

Sponsors like that.

Now, you being such

a powerful woman,

now see you should

know that.

Okay, now wait a minute now.

Look, now first I

understand that you're here

to help us out, but you

need to put that thing

back in your pants, and

stop trying to screw me.

Now I let the Ms.

Xena thing slide too.

But no, don't do that.

And please don't tell

me what I should know

because I'm a woman.

You men have no idea, not

even a piece of an idea

of how hard it is to be a

woman in an all man's business.

Hell, to work in any

business for that matter.

Yeah, so please

don't tell me that.

Well okay, I'm listening.

What do you suggest?

Well, Mr. Clive,

we have made several changes

at this establishment, several,

and many more are in the works.

Okay, I'm not denying

the changes you've made

since you've taken

over the spot.

I mean it's like night and day.

But in order to give

you sponsorship funds

I need to see certain

changes tonight.

Come on, you acting

like you don't know me.

That has nothing to do with

it, look, I have bosses too

and we have to have these

proposals done by Monday.

I mean we have a desk

stacked full of proposals

that need to be done.

Now Xena, come on now, really?

All right, okay, tonight.

All right, okay,

so don't let me down.

So, I'm gonna be inviting

a few friends myself

and the boss said

he may come with.

If that's it I'll

see you tonight.

Come give me a hug, come here.

Okay now, do you usually

hug men after meetings?

No.

Okay.

But question, are you still

with that boyfriend of yours?

Now see if I was a man, again,

would you ask that question

and after a business meeting?

I'm just saying.

Actually I would, because

I kinda thought he was cute.

What the hell?

Did you get your shoes yet?

Yep, after I get my

dress I'll be all good.

Well, except for my mani,

pedi, hair, make-up, wax.

Ugh, like I really hate men.

Ha, bruh.

One second, hello, oh, hey boss.

I'm not here.

Nothing, just

picking up my dress.

Tonight?

All women?

Boss.

No, that's just gonna

be really hard to do.

I'm ripping and

running getting stuff

for the wedding tomorrow.

Did you call Mark?

Yes, yes I know, I did say

I wanted to help promote.

You know what?

I may just have somebody.

Yep, okay, bye.

Hey.

What are you doing tonight?

Nope, not working, mm-mm.

You work like three

or four times a month.

I need to ask you for a favor.

A favor?

Look baby I'm from New

Orleans, you already know

what that mean, that

could mean anything.

I'm a need you to be

more pacific than that.

Okay, well before you

say no I just want...

What girl?

I need you to perform tonight?

Perform what?

I done already went from

plus a pipe broke

last Wednesday.

Anyways, so, it all worked out.

So, are you ready?

Are you ready to walk

me down the aisle?

All right Teejay, come

on, clock is ticking.

Love you baby.

This is absolutely the

best day of my life.

Mine too.

Let's do this.
