Now look, I already know
where this is going.
And normally I don't mix
business with pleasure.
What the hell?
No disrespect, I've been

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

True, but you just brought

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.
