All language subtitles for Girlfriends s03e14 Single Mama Drama

Thanks for the ride to work, Liam.

Coffee machine is in the back. Oh,
great, thanks.

You know, since starting Denton
Associates, I've become quite the staple

Staples. Whatever.

If you get busted, I don't know you.

Good morning, girlfriend.

It's birthday time again.

Today we're tipping in for Chapman.

Whatever. Working in an office full of
birthday people is making me go broke.

Now, now, Lynn.

What goes around comes around.

When it was my birthday, I got over $1
,000.

Oh, hey.

How much do you think I'll get on my
birthday?

This Friday.

Oh, my God! You're on this Friday?

We're working late.

Girl, honey, you sound bad.

You should go home. Honey, trust that
dirt. We'll be here in the morning.

Yeah, but my job won't. Then my kids
won't have money to go to Disneyland

their class, and I'll be labeled as a
bad mother. Oh, you have kids?

Yeah. Two boys, two jobs, and too much
on my shoulders.

One kid, one job, and wondering how I'm
going to make it by myself.

Amaya. Tasha.

I think you're sick.

divorce you, die on you, or never marry?

Divorce. You know, and we're still going
through it. Well, it's been three years

for me.

Oh, yeah? What happened between you two?

He cheated on me.

What happened with your husband?

Oh, girl, you know, something like that.

Girl, ain't none of them no good?

I mean, come on, let's be real. When we
were married, we were single mothers

anyway. I mean, come on. All they did
was dirty up the tub and fart and be.

Lucky I got here early so I could cover
for you.

What the hell are you doing here? I had
a little work I needed to finish, so I

wanted to get an early start.

William, you don't work here.

Nobody at the staff meeting seemed to
care.

We were all too busy ragging on you
because you were late.

You know, this is just a little weird.

Well, come on, you got the empty cubicle
here.

I miss the camaraderie of the office,
the water cooler banter, the hum of the

fluorescents. Besides, if I leave now...

The softball team is going to be short
of pitcher.

Yeah, and if you get caught, I could get
in trouble.

Oh, instead of worrying about me getting
caught, you need to worry about you

getting caught and your little birthday
scam.

William, I have no idea what you're
talking about. I'm being caught.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Taking advantage of these nice people.
You told them your birthday was on

Friday, and it's not.

That's a lie.

Yeah, well, you told them that you work
here, and you don't, and that's a lie.

Happy birthday.

Watch Jabari. Girl, just make the boys
some snacks. Lock up and let's go.

Tony, you don't leave nine -year -olds
by themselves.

Jamiroquai is nine now?

Did Auntie Tony miss her birthday?

Maya, I know a woman down the street
that says she has a really good

Joan, I'm not leaving my child with
someone you don't even know.

Well, I know someone, and she's a dog
sitter.

She did a really good job at Bosco.

Think about it. It's kind of the same
thing. Jabari likes to take walks.

likes snacks.

by his real name, Jumanji. Oh, yeah.

No, no, you guys go ahead. Go ahead and
make jokes, laughs. Great. Real funny,

huh? Huh? You know? But when y 'all want
to go out, you just go.

Not Maya.

No, no, no.

Before Maya can make plans, Maya has to
find a sitter. Uh -huh. Find a way to

pay for the sitter and hope that I have
enough money left to go out with y 'all.

You know, not everybody has a lotty
-zotty. We like to party like y 'all.

But you know what?

Y 'all are going to see one day when you
have kids.

You can watch whatever you want, boxing,
barbershop.

Now, if you have any problem with the
box, don't call the cable company. Call

me. I'll tell you how to move in.

So this is Joan's house.

Joan's not a single mom. She don't know.

We've got it hard.

And I don't see our precious government
trying to help us out. So I consider

this a subsidy.

Instead of government cheese, we get
free cable.

I have to admit, it hasn't been easy
since Darnell and I split.

Have you worked out the details of your
divorce?

Like who gets what, visitation rights,
child support payments?

Yeah, you know, we've worked out a basic
agreement.

A basic agreement means you basically
get screwed.

You are the victim here.

Girl, you better wake up and call a
lawyer.

Okay, okay, stop it. You know what, you
guys, somebody better get somebody.

Don't even look at me. Just go to the
back.

Oh, my God.

Joan is going to trip.

Don't you? I mean, she got this from
Ghana.

Oh, it's a Ghana now.

Oh, when the cat's away.

Hello.

Hi, Joan.

Tony, this is my friend Tasha.

Hi. These are her two boys, Junior and
little Larry.

Hi.

Y 'all say hi to Miss Joan. Hi, Miss
Joan.

Oh, so is Miss Tony invisible?

Hi, Miss Tony.

I'm waiting, did you be?

I think you know what, Tony? This is the
last time, for real.

His name is Jabari.

Look, Auntie Joan, we finally got some
real cable.

Excuse me?

Where did that come from?

My mom's truck.

Oh, you're running boxes?

Girl, I've been looking for somebody
like you. Now, don't go anywhere. I got

pee, but I'll be right back with my
checkbook.

You installed illegal cable in my house?

Okay, boys, it's time to go. Go to the
back and get your things. Come on.

Go on, go to the back and help them.

You know what?

Girls, check the little hookup.
Everybody does it. Not me.

Okay, fine. I'll take it out of here.

And I'm really sorry about this statue.

My statue?

What statue?

What happened to my statue?

You know what,

girl? The kids were running around. They
were playing.

And it broke by accident.

Girl, it's simple.

The next earthquake, just call your
insurance company and report it.

Now you want me to commit insurance
fraud?

Look, my boy broke it, so I'll pay for
it.

I can give you $5 a month.

This thing cost over $1 ,000.

$6 a month?

And it had sentimental value.

Oh, girl, come here.

You know, Tosh, why don't you just go on
and go? I'll give you a call tomorrow,

okay? Okay. Well, I'll get the box from
you tomorrow, and I really am sorry

about your statue.

Come on, boy.

Say bye.

Bye, Joan.

Who is that?

I told you, she's a friend.

I don't want that type of person in my
house.

Oh, excuse me?

What do you mean by that type of person?
Okay, Tasha is a single mother trying

to make it, just like me.

That criminal is nothing like you, Maya.

Joan, she just hooked up a stupid table
boss. What?

Yeah, well, I don't want it or her in my
house.

I'm sorry. Now this is your house? Yes.

That is what you people don't seem to
understand.

This is my house.

Oh, OK. Well, you know what? You don't
have to worry about Tasha or Jabari or

in your house. Because you know what?
I'm moving out.

Whatever. Whatever.

OK.

Where did old girl with the boxers go?

Hey, Tasha.

You know what? I'm trying to move out of
Jones as soon as I can, you know, and I

know that you're still living with your
mom, and my living situation is, well,

girl, you know what that is.

And, well, we're cool, and we kind of
vibe. I mean, we vibe, right?

Yeah, we vibe.

Right, right. So I was thinking, you
know, maybe we could get a place

be roommates.

You watch mine, I watch yours kind of
thing.

It'll be fun.

What do you say?

I say, you better get a lock for your
closet if you don't want me all up in

girl. You got a cute closet.

Did you

eat

one of Jabari's mac and cheeses?

Maya, I haven't eaten any of your damn
food.

Oh, so this 12 -pack just magically
became an 11 -pack. Is that what you're

saying to me?

What are you worried about?

I'm sure your new roommate can hook you
up with some free mac and cheese.

Joan, is it okay if I let my ex and my
son into your house?

Whatever, Maya.

I missed you today.

How was school?

Good. Good.

Guess what? What?

Dad's taking me to a hockey game Friday
night.

Oh.

Yeah, that's why we're a little late,
because I had to pick up the tickets.

Hmm. All right, little man.

See you on Friday.

Friday. All right.

Darnell, I have Jabari on Fridays.

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
we had plans?

Oh, my fault?

Mm -hmm. Yeah, I should have cleared
that with you first.

Sorry. Mm -hmm.

So what are you guys doing? Nothing, but
you didn't know that.

Let me leave, because I feel attitude
bouncing all off of you. You know what,

Darnell, we need to get a little bit
more specific about our divorce

But I thought we already agreed on
everything.

No, no, see, it's easy to agree when
you're not specific.

But what happens when we have to be
specific and we can't agree on the

specifics? Am I supposed to just trust
you?

I'm not the one that can't be trusted
here.

You know, you can always hold that one
indiscretion over my head hard to get

what you want. You know, I have no
recourse, no protection. I'm being

all up and through this. And let me tell
you something, brother, you know what?

It ain't gonna fly.

You're the victim? Yes, I am.

You must be smoking.

If anything, I think I've been pretty
damn fair up until this point.

Who pays all the big bills?

I do.

You said you wanted a good car. I gave
you the good car. And I'm still paying

insurance on both them bad boys.

And I do all of this not because I have
to, but because our son shouldn't have

to go through some messy divorce.

Now, if you want to go getting all
specific with everything, hey, handle

I am so sick and tired of you playing
that same thing. No, no, no, no. You're

not going to make me the criminal. I am
victimized. You're wrong. I did what I

did.

Jabari is back there.

All right, you know what? I'm going to
be back on Friday to pick up our son.

Emphasis on our.

Maya, what are you doing? I'm taking
care of my business.

Emphasis on my.

Look, it is one thing.

For you to let your friend Tasha drive a
wedge between me and you, but your

relationship with Darnell is much more
important. You have Jabari to think

about, Maya.

Were you thinking about Jabari when you
ate his mac and cheese?

Maya, if you keep this up, your amicable
divorce is going to get nasty and

you're going to hurt a lot of people.

Hurt?

Hurt? What about my hurt, okay? No one
up in here seems to be thinking about

that.

Maya, I have been putting you up in my
house for the last six months with free

room and board, and I am not thinking
about your hurt?

You little ingrate. Uh -uh.

Don't you damn play that, okay? I told
you that I would pay you some rent. And

told you that I didn't want your money
because we are friends.

And as your friend, I am telling you,
you are messing up.

Hey, Chapman, what happened?

I got fired.

Fired? For what?

I lied about my birthday.

Oh, and happy birthday.

Lynn, you know why we're here, don't
you?

Huh?

Your birthday isn't really today.

Now is it? Huh?

You heard me.

Look, guys, I'm really sorry.

I just got caught up in the whole
birthday fever. We take birthdays very

seriously around here. And we don't
appreciate you coming in here trying to

the wool over our eyes.

So what happens now?

Well, what happens now is you take a
deep breath and blow out those candles

because we're still birthday people.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I don't
get it. You guys just fired

Chapman for this. This and for
downloading porn all day.

What, you fired people for this?

Who cares? It's mine.

Fake money?

Fake money for a fake birthday.

Don't cross us again, bitch.

Dang, girl, how much of this stuff are
you planning on returning?

All of it.

Tasha.

What? You lost or something?

I was about to go pick up the boys from
shoes.

And what's wrong with your phone?

I keep calling, I can't get through.

Oh, that's because I have a trifling
Negro's block on the phone.

I'm not trying to talk to you.

I'm trying to see my boys. You're always
trying to do something. Why don't you

try and catch up on some child support?

What are you talking about?

I pay.

You just mad because I won't break you
up a little extra to get your raggedy

nails done. So what's raggedy is the
trifling heaven that you left me and

kids for. Why do you always got to go
there? Because that's where it's at.

I just want to see my boys, Tasha. Take
a picture.

They need a father.

They have me.

I'm more of a father than you could ever
be.

Oh, that's six, huh?

That's six.

Sounds like you really miss those boys.

Tasha, girl, I don't want to overstep my
boundaries. Don't.

So Darnell and I talked, and we're back
on track.

That's good, Maya.

And I owe you an apology.

I know I've been acting a little janky
lately.

A little?

Girl, don't sugarcoat it. You have been
acting totally janky.

I know I've been a little ungrateful.

You know, without you, Joan, I wouldn't
have been able to get through all this.

So can we get you unpacked?

Thank you, but I'm still moving out.

With that cable thief?

No, no. Look in my own place. I cannot
hide from being single forever.

Maya, I'm always here for you if you
need me.

Thank you.

You know what I'm saying?

What? We got some more issues?

Frank can't get a hug?

I can't. Oh, God.

I'm a macaroni thief.

Hey.

Hey.

So you find a place here?

Nah, girl.

I called Six.

He's coming by on Sunday to pick up the
boys.

You did the right thing, Tasha.

Damn right.

Shoot, I need the afternoon off. Mama
time.

Okay.

Maybe we could do something.

Well, you know, I do have the hookup
down at the Magic Johnson Theater.

Who, Monty?

Girl, yes.

Girl, I got the same hookup. Monty's my
cousin.

Tasha, shut up.

I'm cleaning up on the birthday cash.

Why do you get real cash?

Because I'm not a liar. Today really is
my birthday.

Oh, but you are a liar. You don't even
work here.

Hey, birthday people!

This guy doesn't even work here.

Rodney!

Lynn's right. She's absolutely right. I
don't work here.

Anymore. Yesterday, I passed the bar,
and I'm a lawyer now!

I'm out of here!

Everybody, get out your wallets. Roddy's
going to need a new briefcase.
