- Did you see

the scary lookin' guy
with the beard?

Girl, every guy in Philly

True.
Well, I used to fuck Rich Green

and I don't want Rasun to know.

Rasun and Quadir are friends.

That's why you gave him my shit.

Now, I told him your name.
I can't help he texted Quadir.

- SAHIRAH: Mm-hm.

QUADIR: Well, you should, uh,

My chef makes a...

Oh, we already in there.

- English literature.

- You tryin' to be a writer?
- I am a writer.

- Let me read some of your work.
- I'm sorry,

I don't let strangers
read my work.

You do know
that when you sit down

and break bread with somebody,

technically you're not
a stranger anymore?

Listen, Quadir, you seem
like a really nice guy.

I appreciate dinner.
You taking us home

is really nice,
but I know what you do.

- Oh, do you?
- Yes,

- and I've been there before.
- Mm.

And I know most girls
would just take the money.

So, you think...
you think... you think

that I care more about what's
in between your legs than...

Come on, we both know
you're not interested

in reading my work.
All you wanna do

is hit and that's good for you.
But, that's not who I am.

Okay?

Thank you for keeping it 100.
I appreciate that.

I don't hide what I do.
It was a conscious decision.

I'm a young, black,
successful criminal.

Yeah, that's what I do.

That's not who I am.

I love reading.
I love music.

I love art, anything that'll...

stimulate my intellect.
So, I... I... apologize.

I assumed you being a writer...

possibly written something
that could do that.

So, when we were younger

and so we've been callin' her
that ever since.

I can wait, make sure

That was sweet, but I'm okay.

- Smoked black pepper, huh?
- Yup.

- Did you get some?
- No,

Oh,

'cause I saw you strugglin'

to stay awake when Rev
was preaching his sermon.

Figured that was
punishment enough.

Now, don't let it happen
no more, you understand me?

- Yes, ma'am.
- 'Cause the only place

that's open after midnight...

[BOTH] A man wants to go
is between a woman's legs.

Don't y'all ever forget it.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

GENA: Well, Hello.

Oh, child what is that smell?

Hey, y'all!

- Hey, Sahirah.
- Hey, baby.

SAHIRAH: Girl.

Mm-hm.

So, how'd it go with Quadir?

It was cool.
He dropped me off.

- That's it?
- Girl,

Gah-Git know
I was out last night.

Oh, shit, my bad.

It was worth it, though, G.
Quadir is paid.

Not only is he makin'
money in the streets,

but he's got a bunch
of businesses.

- He's a millionaire.
- Girl,

I had my share
of drug deal millionaires.

Please! Jamal
wasn't nobody's millionaire.

Anyway.

So, Quadir is supposed
to be seeing some girl

named Cherelle
who lives up in Germantown.

Well, Good for her.
She can have him.

I feel you.

Besides, you gon' be
a boss ass bitch

with your writin' and shit.
[LAUGHS]

That's why I got you this.

- Aww, really?
- Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

Let me see what this is.

I love you.

Look, G, on the real, none of us
had it easy comin' up.

I mean, between your momma
and my daddy,

you still got your dreams, G,

and that's more
than most of us got.

But, trust and believe
you always got me.

And don't be spending
your money on me either.

I got a couple coin from Rasun

and I couldn't help
but buy it for you.

Rasun know he contributed
to this?

Not unless he saw me
go through his wallet

- while he was sleep. [LAUGHS]
- Girl, you are a mess.

GAH-GIT: Gena.

Baby, it's dinner time.

Why don't you set
a place for Sahirah.

Thank you, Gah-Git.
I appreciate you.

Sugar, you show up
every Sunday for dinner.

Why would this Sunday
be any different?

I just wish you
would show up early

so you can go
to the services with us.

You know, I'm workin' on that?

- Hmm, yeah.
- I promise, I am.

I'm not trying to act all joe

but everybody knows

and I wanna work with big time.

You've got the connects
to quality,

so that makes you big time.

I'ma keep it 1,000

I do not like when people
try to impress me.

A lot of people talk that talk,

but me and my crew,
we're showin' you

that we're the hottest thing
in these streets.

I don't work in the streets.
Does this look like the streets?

You think we can't move
how you move?

I don't know, you famous.
Like your man said, you famous.

You wanna be a star?
I don't wanna be a star.

Huh?

That move your man Rich pulled
at the club the other night?

Noisy.

I don't do noisy.

Nah, man, Rich is young.

- We respect you.
- It's not a no...

but it's not a yes.

Let's give it a couple months,
let things smooth out.

I see you, Jerrell.

We'll work somethin' out.

- That's fair.
- Fair is fair.

- And you're the boss, I get it.
- You're tryin' to be a boss.

I get it.

And we have been
introduced before.

GENA: I stare in your eyes
and the world disappears.

Leaving us together,
so no one can see.

Your body moves closer
so you're next to me.

Your fingers unbutton

Your hands moving all over

Without delay,
you start to play.

As-Salaam-Alaikum.

- You just don't quit do you?
- Man, what would the fun

- be in that?
- Oh. So, what? You just thought

you would send a car,
I'd skip class

get in, and, what, we'd go...

- to Atlantic City?
- I did.

Spend some money, have some fun,
and I'd throw my panties

- in the air in gratitude?
- I actually like

- the panties in the air part.
- I bet you do.

I bet you could write
a book on it.

- I've had my experiences.
- I'm sorry to disappoint,

but I'm not interested
in being your experiment.

I don't know,
I know it's loud in here,

- but I said, experiences.
- I know what you said.

You don't have to talk to me
like I'm a child.

Take it easy.

Relax, I'm not talking
to you like you're a child.

I just like you and I think
you like me, too.

How you know I like you?

Well, you haven't slapped me
in the face,

got up and left,
or asked me to leave.

- I like you.
- Okay.

- But this isn't gonna happen.
- Why?

- I have been with guys like you.
- You have been with boys.

You have never been with a man.

I would never put my hands
on you.

Oh, you did a credit check
on me?

- Of course I did.
- I'm doing everything

in my power
to get out of this life.

- I don't trust myself with you.
- I don't trust myself with me.

Welcome to the club.

- You gotta meet my family.
- Of course.

- They're everything to me.
- Family is everything.

Okay, so dinner.

- Dinner, at my restaurant.
- No, no, no.

- Lobster.

Come here.

Go hook the boy up

Over here.

The real power is knowin'
when to leave

a little somethin' on the table.

I thought the real power
ran the table.

Quadir is strong,
but we're stronger.

There's nothin'
that he has that we can't take.

Man, clean this shit up
and get these

corny motherfuckers
up outta here.

RICH: Y'all heard my man,
get the fuck out.

LITA: I went
to three different outlets

to find the chairs
that I wanted.

All of them had pictures
on their websites,

but none of them had them
in their warehouses.

Then, when you get there,
they try to pawn

something else off on you.

I hate when people play
with my time like that.

I wanted to beat the shit
out of them with a hammer.

No, I feel you though,
because the right chairs

are important if you openin' up
a hair salon.

Out of all the...
I wouldn't think chairs.

Why are chairs important?

Have you ever sat
in the same spot for six hours

while someone puts
a weave in your scalp?

- No, I haven't.
- Trust me, chairs are important.

Yeah, because of my charm,
she got the chairs

she wanted and she didn't have
to kneecap a motherfucker.

[ALL LAUGHS]

That's because the clerk
was a woman.

Aww,
how long y'all been together?

TYRIK: Six years.

QUADIR: Yeah.

All the girls were chasin'
after Tyrik,

including this one singer.

She even had
a recording contract.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Who is she?

Doesn't matter,
'cause I'm the one who got him.

- Yes, you did, baby.
- Sweet Lord, Jesus.

I'm so happy everybody
is enjoyin' themselves.

Oh, and Gah-Git,
this wine is so good.

I can see that, baby.
You need to slow your roll.

I appreciate you, uh,

allowing me and my brother
into your home.

- It means a lot.
- GAH-GIT: It's my pleasure.

Gena spoke so highly of you,
I couldn't resist meeting you.

Yeah, me... same here.

Being our guest,
would you bless the food?

Uh, with all due respect, uh,
in my religion,

we don't... we just stay silent
before we eat.

- What kind of religion is that?
- Muslim.

Don't y'all pray,
like, five times a day?

- Yeah.
- GAH-GIT: Well, that's nice,

but in this house
we say our blessings

- out loud before we eat.
- I am a guest in your home.

Thank you. Bria?

BRIA: Heavenly Father,
we thank you for the gifts

of your bounty
which we enjoy at this table.

As you have provided
for us in the past,

may you sustain us
throughout our lives.

We also thank you
for blessing us with the friends

and family that have gathered
to take part in your gifts.

May we never forget the needy
and those in want.

Jesus's name we pray, amen.

ALL: Amen.

- SAHIRAH: Let's eat.
- Ready.

Strange.

WINSTON: I know you've
never been with a big man

like me. Tell you the truth,
you want lies,

I'm not here for your lies.

All night, all night long.

I promise you. Come right now

and I'll show you.
Dick stay hard like Rottweiler,

Yes, I'm foreign, I'm blunt.

I's a grown man and I will

Come on, spontaneous, that's me.

Hey, yo!

Oh, that's mine, man.

Hey yo, brother,

- Give me a minute.
- WINSTON: You wanna come, right,

RICH: This nigga gon'

Huh? You know him?

Huh? Oh, piss and tell girl.

My nigga, that's who I am.

A'ight, fuck it.
I'll get straight to the chase.

See, I'm startin'
a little self-help organization

of the strongest brothers
in Philly.

You know, just tryin'
to bring a little wealth

and dignity back
to our own communities.

You do it for the youth, then?

I want you to get down with us,
Winston.

A brother like you on the team,
man, I know we can win.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- Nah, man,

that's not for me, man.

You must find someone
else, man, not me.

- That wasn't really a request.
- RICH: Got it!

I'll call you
when I wanna meet with you.

Just make yourself available,
man.

Oh, get yourself
a new piece of pussy.

We don't want niggas confusin'
us in these streets out here.

RICH: Let's head up north
real quick.

Baby, I put my foot in it,
didn't I?

- GENA: Mm-hm.
- I like Quadir.

He don't say much,
but I like him.

I think he says a lot.

You like him, Gena, don't you?

- I do.
- Why, because he has money?

GENA: Honestly?

Because he got on my bus.

Guys will give you money,

but they won't give you
their time.

- GAH-GIT: That's true.
- He gave me his time.

Man that gives you his time,
that's somethin'.

And he asked me... he asked me
to go with him to L.A.

BRIA: L.A.!
Girl you goin', right?

Now, he got on a bus,

and now he wants
to put you on a plane?

I mean, if it's okay with you.

Spring break,
you're a grown woman.

You have to decide
what you wanna do.

Plus, if you don't go,
I'm goin'.

And he does seem
like a nice guy, too.

Yes.

He does seem
like a very nice young man.

You'd never know
he was a drug dealer.

Bria, what's wrong?

Gah-Git, what's the matter?

Baby, I didn't wanna call
or text you this,

but Sahirah got caught up
in a shootout last night.

Sahirah what?

Is she... is she okay?

I'll just call her.

Gena.

She didn't make it, baby.

Enough.
That's not funny, Gah-Git.

I'm sorry, I know how hard
this must be for you.

I know it's hard for you,
precious.

- [GENA CRYING]
- Come on, come on.

SAHIRAH: I'm not available
to take your call right now.

[GENA SOBBING]

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

- What happened?
- [TYRIK SIGHS]

- What the fuck happened?
- They hit Winston first.

Sahirah was there
when it happened, so she gone.

- That's what happened.
- Sorry, Ra.

So, we popped their corner boys.

- You did what?
- We did.

What the fuck
did you do that for?

RASUN: Fuck you mean?

You expect us to sit
on our hands all day

while these niggas
just take a shit on us?

I expect you to be
a motherfuckin' professional,

that's what I expect you to do.

- It was professional.
- That was not professional.

- It was emotional and weak.
- Emotional?

I apologize that
that happened to Sahirah,

but you know what it is.
She was a casualty.

We cannot afford
to go to war right now.

Not during this transition.

- Man, so what we gon' do?
- TYRIK: Let Jerrell know

that you can't make money
tradin' bullets.

Go see
the little rich white bitch.

Ashley, Aubrey.

We'll send a message
through her.

And if we fall back,
they fall back, it's over.

BLACK: I'll be back.

- QUADIR: Drop the prices.
- TYRIK: Drop 'em?

Drop 'em.

We hit 'em in the pockets,
hit 'em where it hurts,

make 'em reasonable.

Dropped.

I'm sorry.

[METAL CLATTERING]

[PHONE RINGING]

SAHIRAH: Hi, this is Sahirah.

I'm not available
to take your call right now,

but leave a message at the beep
and I'll get back to you.

Holla.

[PHONE BEEPS]

Oh, baby.

Gah-Git, I just wanna
be by myself.

Oh, come here.

All right.

Quadir stopped by again.

Did you tell him I wasn't here?

Yeah, but you know
he don't believe that.

I don't care what he believes.
He never liked Sahirah.

I'm not sayin' what you're doin'
isn't right, it is.

And you know I don't
want that life for you...

but I also think

there's a right way
to do things.

I don't wanna see him.

I just wanna be left alone.

And you have every right
to feel that way,

but you need to look
that man in his eyes

and tell him it's over.

Now, I done said
what I have to say...

but I'm not gonna be lyin'
for you

if that boy
comes over here again.

Peace be Allah.

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[EXHALES]

[DIAL TONE]

GENA: Hi, this is Gena.
Sorry I'm not available.

Leave a message

[PHONE CLATTERS]

[DOOR KNOCKING]

Gena.

Gena...

are you awake?

I know you're not asleep, Gena.

Damn, Bria.

Fuck you do that for?

Quadir stopped by again.

Do I have to listen to this?

He said he's sorry
about what happened to Sahirah.

Stop.

He never liked Sahirah.

He ran her down
any chance he got.

Look,
I'm not the smartest person

in the world. Shit,

I'm not the smartest person
anywhere, but,

I do know what happened
to her, happened to her.

It don't got nothing' to do
with you or Quadir.

You don't have to tell me
what he said.

I got all his texts
about how much he loves me.

How he wants me to come live
with him, yadda yadda, whatever.

Yeah, well, do you love him?

He sure does act
like he loves you.

Yes, I love him...

but that ain't got
nothing to do with it.

I ain't trying to be
no save-a-ho type of bitch.

Maybe you're not the one
that needs saving, maybe he is.

Oh, she gets tipsy

It's called Linwood.

It's got grapefruit juice,
vodka,

- Whoo!

Make me feel like I'm sittin'

And she also told me
that Quadir...

Well, she said

and Mark Antony
as such a forbidden love.

All the crazy paparazzi,
everybody goin' crazy

about them hookin' up,
but you know, it worked.

That's an interesting point.

Now, people, we have to remember
that Cleopatra

was the last pharaoh

was considered to be
one of the greatest

love affairs of history.

GENA: Viola?

Hope you don't mind
if I come in.

Of course not,
come in, come in.

How are you?

VIOLA: I'm doin' well.

- Movin' forward.
- Yeah?

And you?

You know.

- You look good.
- Thank you,

- so do you.
- It's good to see you.

Thanks for havin' me.

You know, my attorney sent you
several notices in the mail.

You didn't get them?

I haven't checked
the mail lately, sorry.

Oh, no worries.

But nonetheless,
I have power of attorney

over Quadir's estate.

- What does that mean?
- That means

that this house is goin' up
for sale.

Now, I can give you
a week to move,

but that's all I can do for you.

Your son hasn't even been dead
two weeks

and you're
already selling his belongings?

Quadir's at peace now, Gena.

The rest of us must move on.

Quadir bought this place
for me and him,

- so we share it. It's mine.
- If you look

at the deed,
you'll see my name is on it.

The same for his cars,
his businesses.

Just because you slept here

doesn't make it your house,
honey.

You haven't stepped foot
in this house

before 30 seconds ago.

Not even one visit to see
how me and Quadir were.

Now you wanna come in here

and try and take it away
from me?

That's not gonna happen.

We'll see about that.

You know what,
you can have all this shit.

I'll be out in a week,
'cause I got something

you'll never have,
Quadir's love.

Bitch.

[DOOR KNOCKING]

Oh, you going to bed
without eating again?

I'm not hungry.

I just wanna go to sleep.

Well, what ya need to do
is go to church

with me and Bria tomorrow.

I'm good.
Tell God I said what's up.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

- Rasun?
- Gena, you okay?

I've been callin' you.

I'm sorry, Rasun.

You know, it's just...
you know, with Qua...

I just needed some time to...

just deal.

I know. I feel you.

I didn't really say anything
when Sahirah got killed but...

it made me feel
some kinda way.

Me, too.

And now Qua's gone.

I haven't felt like
goin' anywhere.

I feel like I'm in a bad dream.

I feel you.

Do you know Quadir's parents
didn't even tell me

- where the funeral was?
- What?

I didn't even get a chance
to say a proper goodbye to him.

Damn.

You talked to Tyrik?

Nah.

Everything's just about business
for him.

Lita died and he's still
on the streets makin' moves.

Yeah, I'm not like him.
I just can't do it anymore.

- You goin' back to school?
- I have enough credits

where I don't have
to go this semester

- and I can still graduate.
- But how you doin' financially?

His mama took everything.
We only had

a few thousand dollars
in our bank account.

But you can't hide
that kind of money in the bank.

Well, he never said anything
to me about it.

This'll hold you
for a little bit.

You don't have to do that.

Look, I'm good.

If you ever need somethin',

all you gotta do
is holla, a'ight?

Thank you.

So, I gotta go.

Thank you for checkin' on me.

You're welcome, Gena.

You think that maybe you wanna
come stay with me?

You should probably go, Rasun.

Okay.

[DOOR OPENING]

I see you ain't moved
since we left here.

How was church?

GAH-GIT: The Lord works
in mysterious ways.

- You tell him I said what's up?
- Yes,

and he told me to tell you
to get yo' shit together.

BRIA: Gena, you are trippin'.

- What is this?
- It came from your old house.

- When did this come?
- I don't know, who's it from?

My college professor.

[BELL RINGS]

That's it, times up, people.
Pens down.

Make sure all your information
is on your sheet,

and I'll see you tomorrow.

GENA: Professor Busby.

Gena, we've been tryin'
to reach you.

I know, I'm sorry.
I've had family issues,

but I just got the letter.

It's not too late is it?

Well, you placed second.

I could probably place
a phone call.

Could you, please?
I would really appreciate it.

Should I?

Listen, Gena...

in light
of your recent disappearances,

your absences,
I wouldn't be comfortable

making that call
unless I was absolutely sure

- that you were serious.
- I am, I'm serious.

You do understand
this is an unpaid internship

and you'd have
to support yourself

in New York for a year?

I understand. I can do it.

Okay.

But you been takin' care of

Why don't you come let me
take care of you for a while.

You worried
about bein' on your own?

I don't know,
I ain't never done it.

Gena, I raised a...

a strong woman.

You gon' be just fine.

You're right.

This is for you, Gah-Git.

Oh, baby. [GASPS]
