Sh... Shelby, wow.

How was your flight?

I mean...

Bitch, how did you find us?

I'm resourceful.

I told her not to come.

You know you're doing the most,
even for you.

And I am here for it.

Good. Get your popcorn ready.

Ooh.



[indistinct].

Oh, Harp, you got to get
her the fuck up out of here.

- Oh, Q, she's a handful.
I've been trying.

- Yeah, who are you telling?
- Here she comes.

Here she comes. Here she comes.

Quentin, why are there no rooms

available in this entire resort?

Mr. Quentin,
I told her we are booked solid,

but I'd be happy to find
her accommodations elsewhere.

Yeah, on another island.

Q, don't be like that.

She's come all this way.

Ah, thank you. Wow.

Xiomara Amani,
so nice to meet you.



No, the pleasure's
all mine, Shelly.

- It's Shelby.
- Oh, right.

Honey, I'm gonna go up to bed,

but you stay and get
reacquainted with everyone,

and when you're ready
you come see me.

Mm-hmm.

And when you come in, come in.

Okay.

Bye. Bye, Shel.

Oh, yeah, bitch.

It is on.

Okay, so, Shelby,
I wanted to talk to you...

Oh, yes, we do need to talk,

because there'll be no blessing
on that little movie of yours

without my lawyers doing
an ironclad contract.

Well, I could easily
write your character out.

[chuckles]

You want it to be good,
don't you?

Look, you know what?

I've got half a mind
to have your ass

arrested for trespassing.

Ooh, does the other half
involve choking?

Stay the fuck away from me.

- Oh, Quentin, she's a peacock.
You're a peacock.

Someone's got
to play the background.

There is no Q in Xio.

Yeah, well, there's been
a lot of Q up in Xio.

You can't possibly
have enough to satisfy

her high-maintenance ass.

Yeah,
I had enough to satisfy you.

Oh, well, my memory escapes me.

I don't remember
being satisfied.

Then why the fuck
you down here now?

Oh, you're so full of yourself!

- You are fiending right now.
- I don't want you!

- You want to be...
- I hate you.

I don't even like you.
- Why are you here?

- Fuck you.
- I don't...

- You came here...
- Fuck you!
