Previously on Love It.

I love you.

I love you too.

So I'm gonna cut the bullshit and get on
with living this life together.

Thank you for coming out this weekend.
Well, it turns out that black women are

our biggest audience and they want more
of Wendy.

Which is why you guys are here. Because
I know sometimes you get drowned out in

the room.

Hey, Nuri. It's Keith.

I wanted to connect about our ski
weekend.

Everyone meet Nuri.

Hi, Nuri!

Listen, stop.

You know that guy that you saw me with?
So you're going scared.

Have a good time, Nuri.

He's someone that I like a lot.

So, while I appreciate the invitation, I
can't have sex with you.

Nuri, I'm gay.

You went on a skeet trip.

What do you want from me, Atheer? What
do I want from you? Yeah. You should

told that guy, hell no, right then and
there and came after me.

I need you to help me track your seer
down.

If I don't talk to him tonight, I know
it's over.

Nuri, the other night you asked me, was
I using you?

Yes, I am.

I'm using you to make me a better
person.

Nuri, you're my fresh start.

Be careful.

That turkey meat came with the house,
and I haven't been to the market in...

You made all this with expired ketchup
and baking soda?

I've been making something out of
nothing all my life.

A week full of orgasms and sex?

Hate yourself.

I'm already in love.

Yes, I broke my no sex under my own roof
till I'm married. Rule for you, dear.

But look, who am I kidding?

I really wanted to jump his bones the
night we fell in love.

He just made me feel safe in the
decision that I had made, and he just

eliminated any regrets or doubts that I
had.

Being all wrapped up into each other,
and I was in his arms and wrapped around

his legs, it just, for me, confirmed
that what we were feeling was true.

I mean, I couldn't believe it.

It only took me two weeks. I couldn't
believe it.

Baby, if I come one more time, I might
dehydrate.

You ain't never had it like this before,
huh?

I've been with guys and bragging about
their pee -pees.

Man, this ain't no pee -pee.

How many guys you been with?

I don't think I can tell.

I'm not asking about a kiss.

Come on.

Tell me, I might like it.

What's your number?

What year did you graduate high school?

89. Give or take.

Not yet!

Come on.

Tell me. I won't judge.

I want us to be open with each other.

Let's leave no stone unturned on this
journey.

Hold on.

You'll put your lips on my lips, but you
won't put your lips on my glass?

You ain't tell me how many men you've
been with.

I gotta protect myself.

Okay, geez, I'll tell you.

0 .00008 % of the world's population.

That's like 59 people.

So if you won't tell me how many guys
you've been

with, then tell me how many girls you've
been with.

You and all these questions.

You're even more beautiful when you're
not trying.

Just wear that to work.

Um, excuse me.

I'm 26.

I can dress like that.

Do it for me.

Why?

Because I have your son on it?

Guilty.

Fine.

No bra.

I want them niggas at work to know what
they're missing out on.

You see her?

These are my pajamas.

It's basically a dress.

Only it's not.

You're asking me to wear lingerie to
work.

Okay, fine.

Try a t -shirt underneath.

That's weird.

Okay, you don't have to do it.

I just thought you looked beautiful in
that song.

Fine.

I'll do it.

We were playing house for real. Yes, we
were. It was nice to have someone to

wake up next to every morning.

When Yathir came into my life, he
inserted himself into my daily routine,

much so that I allowed him to dress me
for work. Now, look, a grown woman, been

dressing herself for years, allowed this
man to... How about enjoyed a man

desiring you?

And one to show the world how beautiful
you are.

The way that I see you.

Yeah, that.

That's why I did it.

What shoes are you going to wear?

These. And what are those?

My wedges.

You need to wedge those in the bottom of
your trash can.

You know what.

You don't have no tennis shoes, white
ones.

Yeah.

But they're a little dirty.

That's not dirt. That's character.

Put them on.

You see what I'm saying?

Your beauty is effortless.

Hey. Morning.

Hey,

Anthony.

Hey, Angela.

I knew Victoria had a secret. I just
didn't think she'd want everyone at work

know it.

Can you see my nipples?

It looks like you smuggled a pepperoni
pizza onto your shirt. Who dressed you,

Will Caesar?

Monsieur.

Controlling much?

He was just making suggestions.

Maybe I can grab a jacket from wardrobe.

Norman asked us to meet him at nine and
it's already ten till.

If you see him before I get back, pay
me.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Not today, Nuri.
Thanks, girl.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Okay. Really? Okay. Thank you. Okay,
guys. Sorry. I gotta get through. Thank

you. Thank you.

Hey, excuse me. Stop.

On your right.

Thanks.

Oh.

Hi. Hi, Nuri.

I'm so sorry for barging in.

You look cute.

You really think so?

Yes, girl.

That's hot.

Or cold.

That's why I'm here. I need some help
with my headlight. If you have the time.

I'm an extra harassment case waiting to
happen.

So what made you think that was a good
idea?

Not what.

Who? It's cute.

Shoot, I like it. Be bold.

I try.

Cool if I rock this?

Oh, that's Leroy's. He wore that trench
with his son in those fake watches.

Right? Yeah.

You've gone legit now.

Thank you.

Okay.

I'm telling you, Ang, this business is
cutthroat.

Window just keeps getting smaller and
smaller for a brother.

Like an awning window?

What the hell is that?

You know, the small window that sits
above or below a stationary window.

Like, it helps the air flow.

No, I don't get it.

Draw it for me.

I guess.

Padawan. Hi.

You're wearing pajamas?

I know you're sleeping on the job, but
damn, I told you to be here at nine.

I'm sorry.

I was here on time. I just had to go
grab a coat. But you weren't here when I

was here.

So, Martine.

Yeah. Mark a tardy. Oh, that's four
tardies for Nuri.

Yep. Six more tardies equals your five.

What are you standing there for? Sit
down.

Oh.

Yeah, I still don't get it.

So. The network finally got back to me
about the Wendy's show think tank.

Did they love the pitch?

Good news, bad news.

The good news is they want to test the
episode and see if Wendy's really a

Wow.

Bad news is I miscalculated the number
of guaranteed episodes I have versus how

many I actually have to give.

So what does that mean? That means that
the script I wanted to give to Padawan

actually belongs to you.

She has two guaranteed in her contract.

So with that being said, since you both
came up with Saturday, we'll leave it to

Ange to decide if she wants to co -write
the episode with you.

Oh, my God. Yeah, I know. I'm the best.

I'm also running late. So you guys
discuss it amongst yourselves and

get me an answer by noon.

I am so excited.

The only two women in the writer's room
get to work together.

Try something that's going to give a
voice to the everyday black woman.

We might even win an Emmy.

Angela?

Wait, Angela!

I've got a story arc that is going to
change the game.

You see how they do us?

Norman, it's so foul for that.

Foul for what?

Putting me in a position to tell you no.

But why would you tell me no?

Girl, he threw us in a box because we're
the only women.

And we would kill this script.

I get that you're eager to show Norman
what you can do.

Hell, we all are.

But don't get ahead of yourself. Just
follow the bouncing ball.

Please help me understand what's
happening right now.

We're girls, right?

Neri, you're my girl.

But you're not my writing partner.

But he wanted to give me a script.

And my contract says I get two.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

But this is business.

It's not what you want. It's what you
negotiate.

Our agents should have this talk, not
us.

Black women.

Working together.

Look at that. Y 'all remind me of Debbie
and Felicia.

Look at you. Go on, sisters. Do it for
yourselves.

There's something different about you.

Can't quite put my finger on it. Don't
put your finger anywhere near me.

No, seriously, there's a certain je ne
sais quoi.

Negro, spell it.

I'm trying to Mac, man. I don't
understand how your wife fell for you.

six, so it's like extremely
understandable.

My wife is a six, what is Angela? I'm a
nine, because that's what I got in my

purse if you want to keep talking.

Okay,

so really, I mean, maybe it's your
perfume?

I got a man, okay?

That's the difference.

Damn, another one?

Will!

Don't go away, man.

Come here, Will.

So you're just a playhead, huh, Nuri?
Whatever.

Why you gotta do my dude like that?
Wait, wait, wait. Will, I thought you

looking up with Keith.

Man, Keith isn't her man. Keith is her
job security.

I am not with Keith, okay?

My man's name's Yasir.

You share too much.

Yasir? Wait, I think I bought a bean pie
from that brother of Sloth's.

She got her a Muslim mother.

Oh, okay, so that's why you dress like
you in a harem.

I feel you.

Flying carpet ass.

With a Ali Baba ass.

Oh, shit.

Y 'all laughing like there's some award
-winning writers up in here.

Come on, let's hear it.

A hush falls over the door.

Scared money don't make none.

Who's writing the next script?

I am.

Y 'all cool?

Mm -hmm. I'm fine.

Uh -uh, uh -uh. I thought you told me
that when a woman says, I'm fine, she's

not fine.

I'm fine, really.

I added the really, so it counts.

Just when I think I figured y 'all out.
You add an addendum, paragraph, section

B to I'm fine.

You're a chariot of weight.

Can you put that out, please?

I could have driven up to your building
so you didn't have to walk so far.

It's fine.

I need an exercise.

You tried.

I appreciate it.

Tried? I wore my underwear to work for
you, and they made fun of me.

They're jealous.

I see I need to give you a minute.

Can we just go?

I get it.

You're embarrassed. That's why you
didn't want me to drive up. I announced

relationship to the entire room.

Everybody knows, so no, that's not it.

I just don't want everybody up in our
business, that's all.

Then why'd you announce it?

I don't have no problem taking the bus
tomorrow.

You don't want that officer right.

No, I want you to use my Jeep.

I don't want them to think of you as
just another guy I'm dating.

You're my man.

What would you do if your friend had the
option

to co -write her script with you?

And she declined?

Sounds like I need to say something that
you want to hear.

If I don't get a script this season, my
career is screwed.

You're overreacting.

That's because this is the entertainment
business.

I should be overreacting.

There's a million people in line for my
job, including you.

And if I drop the ball, who's to say I'm
going to get another shot?

They haven't even given you a ball to
drop yet. Maybe they think you're not

ready. If Angela was my friend, she
would let me co -write her script with

to help me show them that I'm ready.

You two sound like beaches.

Excuse me?

You know, beaches.

Bette Midler, Barbara Hershey.

It's a movie about two girlfriends.

One is jealous because her friend is a
famous singer, but she's still a

successful lawyer.

It was Oscar nominated for set
decoration, but still.

I can't believe you haven't seen it.

You know what always makes me feel
better?

There's a trip to the movies I like that

Here you go, bud.

Hey,

can I get a line? You got it.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Is he taking?

No, it's all you.

You can tell a lot about someone about
what they drink.

Currently, this exact conversation is
happening at every bar across America.

Barry. Denis, my mom named me after a
dead parakeet when she was 16.

Keith, my mom named me after my
grandfather when she was 27.

Well, look who's an original now.

Touche.

So what does my drink say about me?

Oh, I'm sorry?

I said, what does my drink say about me?

Oh, it only really works for alcohol.

Oh, don't be shy now. Come on.

Fine.

You're not here to drink and unwind.

You're here to fit in.

How so?

Well, you ordered a lime and didn't use
it.

It should make your carbonated water
look like a vodka soda.

Maybe I'm sober.

Maybe. Except that he gave you a free
water before everybody else got their

expensive drinks.

Definitely was regular.

Maybe I'm working my way up to something
stronger.

Or maybe you're just trying to keep a
clear head.

Because when you drink, your thoughts
turn into words that you can't say.

And what does your drink say about you?

Nothing. I just like the taste.

Okay, sure.

That's a two -year -old Cabernet.

You want a taste?

Oh, come on now.

Don't be shy.

Tate!

Edward?

Your friend could have my feet.

I was just on my way to work themselves.

Beer packs are no rose.

So hard to find a damn seat in this
place.

Saved by the suit.

I have never seen you here before.

I'm hardly on this side of town.

They're having a silent film festival at
the plaza.

Oh, I didn't take you for a fine arts
tour.

Why? Because I write for Marvin.

Look, you said it, not me.

I love my job.

But damn, the hardest topic we've
tackled was that time Leroy thought he

fickle.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I
am fighting the same losing battle on

my end.

You mean the black exec hired to oversee
the black show doesn't have any say?

Hey, this business forces us all into
situations we must tolerate.

Do you have any idea how hard it is
wearing this damn tie every day?

I don't, but I know what it's like to
feel suffocated.

If I hear, damn, Leroy, one more.

The viewers love taglines.

You know what the sad part is?

I pitched that stupid shit.

And now it haunts me every time I close
an act break.

If I had my way, I'd take a year off and
focus on a drama pilot for staffing

season.

I need the money.

My parents are too proud and broke for
me to quit my job. Hey, I heard that.

I worked so hard to be who I want to be.

I can't even be who I want to be.

She'll be like,

she'll be like, she'll be like, did your
father eat? And when we think now she's

like.

I told you there'd be some black people
in here.

Where?

Down there.

You sure you don't want to go see that?
Shh.

Gosh, when you said we were going to the
movies, I thought we were going to go

see Love Jones.

It's a packed theater full of black
people talking at the screen.

No thanks.

We'll go see it two months from now, on
a Wednesday morning.

Besides, there's a lot you can learn
from a solid film.

Like what?

How to be quiet.

Never met a writer that could read.

The old serpents used the incident to
influence the minds of Catholics against

the Protestants.

What?

I'm an audible learner.

I can't enjoy it if I don't hear it. And
I can't enjoy it if I hear you.

Sorry.

Remember, gentlemen.

The Mesialads had nimes when hundreds of
our faithful parents... Oh, my God.

Really, though?

Angela?

Keith? Do you mind?

I told you I saw some black people in
here.

I wonder, though, because I didn't know.

Nury! Angela!

And Keith.

Hey.

I don't think you got my name last time.

Let me see it.

Angela, this is busy.

None of that.

You get a hug, sis.

It's so nice to finally meet you.

Nuri won't shut up about you at work.

You're beautiful.

Thank you.

Hey, you got a girl.

We're going the same way, right? Yeah.

You know this film was D .W. Griffith's
response to the criticism he faced for

Birth of a Nation.

I guess that makes it our reparations.

A three -hour film about racism that you
have to read is not reparation.

Well, I thought Intolerance was well
-written.

We heard.

You must kill it in the writer's room.

Oh, she does.

Go into the restroom.

Ooh, girl, I'm right behind you.

Why do women always go to the bathroom
together?

You know they're going to talk about
you.

Or you.

Nah.

You the one that dated both of them.

I

know

what it looks like.

What? You want to date with my ex?

No, not at all.

Shoot, girl.

I'm trying to go skiing too.

Yeah, well, Keith isn't a very good
skier anyway.

In fact, he doesn't even like skiing.

You got any lotion?

My hands are dry.

Here.

The snow is a lot colder when you're in
the friend zone.

I can't blame you for trying.

She's a special girl.

That she is.

Oh, well, plenty of fish.

You serious, Cole?

I see why he was worth that.

Damn, I guess I better go hide him, too.

You serious?

I can't tell if you're joking.

I'm fine, really.

This whole situation is hilarious.

Are we cool or not?

What do you think, Angela?

Look, I already told you, it's not what
it looks like.

Nobody keeps Milk Nut Head ass but you.

Look, I already told you I'm fine.

Can we drop it?

Please.

It's dropped.

Great.

Wow. So it's only two of y 'all in the
entire company? Yeah, at the executive

level, I mean. And the writers don't
want you around because they see you as

house slave.

House slave.

I was going to say something different.
It's all the same, believe me.

What? You know I would never break our
girl code, right?

Do I?

That is not who I am.

Hey, whatever you do behind closed doors
and your friend's back, that's your

business.

You know what? Forget it.

It's forgot. I tried to let you know
that this crazy situation was just a

coincidence. Sure. But since you want to
act funky, you could do that.

I'm too grown for this shit.

Okay.

But I think everybody cares what people
think about him.

They just pretend them when they don't.
Can we get out of here?

It's good to meet you.

You okay?

Yeah.

What did you do?

I don't think movies were a good idea.

You want to tell me what happened in the
bathroom?

No.

You and Angela cool?

No.

Can your happy Gemini come home?

No.

It's like you're the one that needs a
cigarette.

Make sure to close the door all the way.
I don't want to have it smell in here.

Wait.

You're going to let me smoke without
putting up a fight.

That's no fun.

They're your lungs.

You still upset that your ex moved on to
your best friend?

Chill, okay? I'm not upset. I get it.
He's GQ.

Keith is not my ex. Drives a nice car.

Seriously, stop.

Probably has a 401k that's off the
chart.

We'll see how funny it is when Angela
contracts HIV.

Wait. What?

He's gay.

Keith's gay.

He came out to me on a ski trip.

You're being visceral.

I've read stories on the rise of HIV in
black women due to brothers on the DL.

So you can't generalize a whole
community just because you didn't get a

Sue me. I'm trying to save her life.

About being homophobic?

Oh my God, I'm tripping.

Please don't judge me.

I swear, my favorite professor in
college was gay.

Yeah, well, he wouldn't approve.

So Keith's gay, huh?

Yeah. I don't want Angela falling for a
guy who doesn't really want her.

Ain't nothing to do with the script.

No. I'm way past that.

I should just tell her.

First thing tomorrow.

No, you can't out that man like that.

If you're going to confront anyone about
Keith's sexuality, it should be Keith.

Yeah, but if I don't tell her, I'm going
to feel like a bad friend.

And if you tell her, you're going to be
a bad friend.

It's like you're trying to win
something.

Excuse me?

It sounds like you're trying to hurt
Angela instead of helping her.

Just let it go. You're not getting the
script.

This is not about the script. Nuri, yes
it is.

Just admit it so you can move past it.

You're going to get a script.

Just not this one. This one ain't for
you.

And as far as Angela, what would mean
more to her right now?

If you're sure who Keith is?

Or if you're sure who Nuri is?

How was work?

Fine.

How was work? Fine.

How was work?

Fine.

Hey.

I can go home while you're in this
little funk.

Give you some space.

No, no. I'm sorry.

I'll go.

hate that he saw under my hood so thin.

But when he allowed me to just be a brat
and love me anyway,

well, who doesn't want that?

I marveled at this woman that
accomplished so much so young.

And it was refreshing to me to be
allowed to see the cracks.

To see her pout.

I just wanted to give her a safe place
to land.

That was empowering for me.

She was, after all, a woman who wants
things her way.

By her own efforts.

And by the hand the universe dealt her.

I think I really liked being needed by
her.

I think I really loved.

Being needed by her.

Then, after a few quiet beats of Wendy
on the phone with her mother, Marvin and

Leroy enter the shop.

You know, they're joking around with
her. Damn, Wendy, you're weaving shot.

How'd you get a job doing hair?

And instead of her snapping back, she
tells the guys that she just found out

mother has cancer.

I don't know about that, Mom.

Sounds kind of whack to me. Now, Marvin,
we're trying something new with this

Wendy episode.

Yeah. I get that, but as long as my name
is on the show, I need it to be funny.

And this ain't funny.

So what if we give her the gout?

She can have the gout. Yeah, Charles can
write the episode because, you know, he

got in his neck.

Can't get gout in your neck.

Gout.

Gout. Yeah, that sounds like something
you get in medieval times or something.

That's funny. That's funny.

Yeah. Let's keep working on that. Let's
build on that. Yeah, I like where you're

going, Lionel. But what would that do to
the story?

I mean, I have her going back to Georgia
to see her mom.

Is the gout serious enough to prompt
that trip?

Shoot, that's her mama. Black folks
ain't never been scared to run back to

mamas, okay?

Mama got Eric.

I know you can't hear me, but I'm
coming, Mama.

Mama slipping full.

Push that life alert button because I'm
coming, Mama.

Mama sneeze.

Pick up your dentures and wipe your ass.
I'm coming, Mama.

Mama got ashy elbows.

I got the cocoa butter. I'm coming,
Mama.

Mama's car broke down. I got a
skateboard. I'm coming, Mama.

Mama Thursday. I got the Kool -Aid. I'm
coming, Mama.

Hey, um, nice try, Ang.

We're going to go with the gout.

Besides, building that Georgia set would
have just cost us time and money. True.

We could always just...

Bring mama down to L .A. and have her
stomping around Marvin's with a swollen

foot. We got the puns in the oven,

y 'all.

Black people love puns.

Padawan, you got something better?

Uh, I like the gout. Gout, damn.

It's gonna be a good show.

But it's a cheap joke.

With cancer, we can take a taboo subject
and turn it on its side.

Sure, it's a scary disease, but it's
relatable.

And that's what comedy is.

A relatable tragedy.

If we base an entire episode around one
joke, where is the story?

Ask yourself, do we want to be profound?

Or do we want to just be another show
not saying anything?

I think we want another tagline like,
I'm coming, mama.

And then Terry, I got the razor. I'm
coming, mama. I got the gillette.

The best the mom cares did.

All right.

You okay?

No.

My script is horrible now.

Well, someone told me once, it may go in
a different direction, but you don't

stop pitching.

Well, you should tell her to shut up
sometime.

I'm trying to get her to let me write
the script with her.

You know what?

I'm just playing.

No, you're not.

Do you want the script?

What?

Seriously, do you want the script?

Because I don't want to put my name on
the shed.

My pastor said if you want new things in
your life, you need to make room for

new blessings.

Don't play with me right now because I'm
pretty raw.

I did a lot of spiritual work to get
through this week. You don't even have

back in there.

But I am spent.

I can't spend on a merry -go -round
today.

I'm serious.

If you think you can do something with
this story...

I'll be happy to tell Norman it's yours.

I can't

take advantage of this moment.

I'm serious.

You're tired.

You're frustrated.

The Angela I know doesn't give up on the
script she negotiated.

Look, as much as I want your script, I
want your friendship more.

So, you're going to keep your script,
and I'm going to have your back.

With jokes, pitches, if you need me to
write some more scenes, whatever.

I got you.

Thank you.

I am tired.

I'm tired of writing these whack -ass
scripts.

It's not going to be whack, I promise.

Whatever. I don't know where they are.
Nerdy, Nerdy, Nerdy, come on. You can

tickle me all you want. Come on, where
are they?

Nerdy, come on. Where'd you put them?

Where'd you put them?

Nerdy, stop playing.

Come on.

Where's my smarts?

If you want them.

I'm going to the store then.

No, you see her.

I'm serious.

I want to help you like you help me.

Sam.

Let's make a deal.

I'll help you stop smoking if you always
promise to stop me from being a brat.

Just give me the cancer.

First off, cancer's not funny.

And second, I'm for real.

Fine.

What brass in these spankings?

You see her? What's my name?

You see her?

You don't have to stop.

Oh, okay.
