What are you doing, Raven?

l thought you were still

in prison for armed robbery.

Yeah, well, l was until

l broke out this morning.

-Ahh! Ahh! Hey!

-Listen.

l need you to get me money.

Enough to buy me

a Mexican vacation.

l don't have any money, Raven.

l know that, loser.

l got a plan,

and l need your help.

Well, whatever your plan is,

l don't want any part of it.

Shut up. You're gonna do

exactly what l tell you to do.

You been hearing about this

little boy who got kidnapped?

-Yeah.

-Well, that's the plan.

You're gonna help me

kidnap some--

No, no,

l'm not kidnapping anybody.

Then you better figure out a way

to turn no dollars into $10,000.

l--$10,000?

There's no way l can do that.

Look, if l get caught again,

you're going down with me...

and we both know you won't last

one second in prison.

Raven...

Ten grand, Corey.

l'll be in touch.

Give me Malcolm.

Hold on.

The b*tch is on line one.

Damn it! OK.

You want me to stop?

Oh, no, baby, keep going.

Uh, Renee, what's up?

What do you want?

Miss Gladys?

Miss Gladys,

there is nobody on line one!

l think l accidentally

hung up on her.

Mmm! Oh, get back to work, baby.

Mmm! Hot damn! Whoo!

Malcolm King's office.

You hung up on me,

you old witch.

Call me that again,

and l will snatch...

every bit of fake hair

out of your nappy head.

Just do your job

and get Malcolm.

Gold-digger. Hold on!

Oh!

She's on line one.

What do you want, Renee?

Ah, there you are.

Must you cancel

all of my credit cards?

What am l supposed

to do for money?

Hell if l care.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

That sounds embarrassing.

Where were you

when they canceled...

all of your credit cards?

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha.

Laugh all you want to now...

but we'll see who's laughing

after the divorce...

because my lawyer assured me

that l will be getting...

a very lucrative

divorce settlement--

very lucrative.

At least half, maybe more.

And just like sex with you

after two minutes...

this conversation is over.

Ah!

Uh-oh.

l know he's gonna

try something slick...

to get out of paying me.

Don't you have some work to do?

l'm...

finished with the pool.

l wasn't talking about...

the pool.

You must think that l have

very poor eyesight, Counselor.

Your list of marital assets

has several glaring omissions...

most notably,

King Enterprises.

And its holdings.

For the one hundredth time,

Anita...

King Enterprises Limited...

is the sole ownership

of Malcolm King...

and l will not--

we will not stand by...

and watch it be broken up

out of spite.

-Your food's here.

-Oh, thank you.

Oh, let me guess--

kung pao chicken

without vegetables...

not too spicy,

all white meat...
