l hate y'all, man.

Man, l'm telling you,

we'll roll up in this car...

...everybody's head's gonna be turning.

-So, baby, really, it was just publicity?

-Yeah, girl.

Hey, hold on, okay? Hold on.

He's got me on hold.

Feel like popping a cork, sugar?

-Who's that?

-Who's who?

The limo driver popped a tire. l gotta go.

Oh, no, you don't. Then say my name.

-Better say it.

-Say my name!

You better say my name.

He didn't say it.

What do you mean, he didn't say it?

-He didn't say my name!

-Look out!

Oh, she done messed the ride!

-Yo, l got an uncle that could fix that, baby!

-Better get Maaco!

OnStar emergency.

l'll stand anywhere, baby.

-Is there an emergency in your vehicle?

-Do you know how much that will cost?

-$3000?

-And about two weeks in terms of labor.

l'm a little backed up.

Can we figure out some kind of

payment schedule?

Yeah, sure. Here's what we can do.

You give me 300 now...

...and come back two weeks

from Monday with 2700.

And that's cash on delivery,

not check on delivery.

That doesn't make sense.

l just said, my mom's gonna be back

on Monday!

-ln two weeks, l'll be dead!

-Don't worry about it, honey.

Kids crash cars all the time.

That's why people get insurance.

You're not on your mom's insurance,

are you?

l'm dead.

Hey, Alvin! lt's in.

You gotta check this out.

lt's amazing how light this is.

lt's hard to believe it's a camshaft.

You know her?

-That's Paris Morgan.

-Will you explain to her...

...that two weeks and 3 grand

is the best she can hope for?

Too bad her mama's

coming home on Monday.

Out of that 3 grand...

-...how much is in parts?

-l don't know. About 1500. Why?

l'll be right back.

Paris?

-Alan?

-Alvin.

You do our pool, right?

Yeah. You know...

...Ben's quoting you a really fair price.

That's what l figured.

l'm dead.

Not necessarily.

-What?

-l can have it done by Monday.

-You can do it?

-The parts are only $ 1500.

-l can have the labor done by this weekend.

-But l don't have $ 1500.

l do.

Let's back up here.

Now, you're saying you're willing

to fix this car...

-...this weekend and pay for the parts?

-Yeah.

That's what I'm saying. Exactly.

And what exactly do you want in return?

-What, you think l'm some cheap ho?

-Wait. This has nothing to do with sex.

You don't have to do anything.

Just pretend.

Pretend to be my girlfriend

for a couple of months.

So you think that you can

buy me for $ 1500?

No, no, no. Not buy you, just rent you.

Did l mention this has nothing

to do with sex?

Why would you want people

to think that l'm your girl?

lt would make me popular.

All right. One week.

l'm your girl for one week.

It has to be...

...a month.
