Mm-hmm...

All right, step forward.

Ooh, damn!

Fine and vivacious and beautiful.

Y'all look gooda-than-a-mug!

That's what he's trying to say.

Thank you.

Nisi, ain't you thirsty?

Yeah, let me get 4 hurricanes, bro.

Ooh, now, y'all look good

not like these hootchy girls.

Y'all got class.

Like waitresses or something.

That'll be $16 even.

Hell, no. Let's go. I ain't thirsty.

Come on, let's go to the bathroom.

Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute.

Hold it... hold it, girl.

Now, look, it was ladies night, right?

Y'all didn't have to pay to get in.

Y'all could have bought our drinks.

Uh, not in this life.

Now, hold on.

I ain't finished talking to you.

You ain't her damn daddy.

Shut your ass up, you playa-hatin' heifer.

Get off me.

Hey, what you... what did I do?

Oh, what you gonna do,

Oh, no, it's on now, brother.

Get on up!

I'll knock your ass back down again.

Come on, here.

I swallowed my gold tooth!

Coming through here.

Ladies, ladies, ladies.

Hey, my man...

Oh, he good for it. They good for it.

Oh, hell, no! Come on, Mick.

Come on, it's ladies night!

Nisi!

What's your problem?

Why you treating me like some stepchild?

Because I deserve better than this, Ali.

Don't you think I know that, baby?

I'm a businessman.

I'm trying to make things happen.

You've been trying to

make things happen forever now.

You can't even keep a job.

I want a real man...

a man with ambition, goals, real dreams.

I got dreams.

What you think my page-a-cab

luxury cab service is?

You ain't even got a driver's license.

Like your dreams are just wired

for sound...

and ready to roll, right?

Owning a hair salon.

That's you and Mickey's problem.

You need to get a grip on life.

I ain't never heard somebody

owning a restaurant...

with a hair salon in back.

What kind of bullshit is that?

Oh... all right.

Well, that's gonna happen.

You'll see.

Nisi, Nisi, Nisi...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Come on, baby.

They're playing our song.

Used to be our song.

Nisi, do you think you overdid it

with our hair?

Mm-mmm. Nope.

I sure don't because

we're going to Beverly Hills.

Now, if I'm going to do good

at that audition...

we've got to look like stars.

Nisi!

- Nisi! - What, girl?

Can't you see I'm trying to read up

on our manners?

I know, but we're going to need

more than manners...

because right here it says...

that the rich and famous people
