I

I HAVE

I HAVE A

I HAVE A SHOW

I HAVE A SHOW IN

I HAVE A SHOW IN INDIANA.

I HAVE A SHOW IN INDIANA.
- YOU

I HAVE A SHOW IN INDIANA.
- YOU DO?

I WAS WONDERING, TRACI--
CAN YOU HELP ME OUT ON THAT?

YES, I WILL!

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW
TRACI THE CHOREOGRAPHY?

I'LL BE HAPPY TO--
ROCK WITH IT.

BUT DO YOU LOOK LIKE
ME IN THE MIRROR-- NO!

NO, NO!

IF YOU LOOK LIKE YOU
PLAYIN' HOP SCOTCH,

THAT AIN'T THE MOVE!

- MOMMY HAS A NEW BEAU.
- MOMMY WHO?

WELL, ARE YOU BE WILLING
TO DO, LIKE, A DOUBLE DATE

WITH, LIKE, GABE AND I?
- WE CAN DO THAT.

SO, UM, WHAT IS-WHAT IS
YOUR INTENT WITH MY MAMA?

YEAH.

TRAY, YOU DO
HAVE TO BE READY.

YOU DON'T THINK SHE
CAN DO THE WHOLE SHOW?

HELL, NO--
HELL, NO.

MISS TONI BRAXTON
AND COMPANY.

WHERE IS SHE?

♪ WE ARE THE BRAXTONS
AND YOU'LL SEE ♪

♪ THAT WE ARE NOT LIKE
AN ORDINARY FAMILY ♪

♪ TONI TRACI TOWANDA
TRINA TAMAR AND MISS E ♪

♪ WILL TEACH YOU A THING OR TWO
ON BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES ♪

- I AM NOT BOSSY.
- YES, YOU ARE BOSSY.

I'M NOT-- I WAS ON
THE PHONE WITH MOMMY

AND SHE MENTIONED
IN PASSING

THAT SHE WAS GOING
OUT WITH A NEW GUY.

NOTHIN' HAPPENS
IN THIS FAMILY

WITHOUT ME KNOWIN'
ABOUT IT.

SO, TRINA AND I HAVE DECIDED
TO TAKE MOMMY OUT TO LUNCH,

SO THAT WE CAN GET
ALL THE DIRTY DETAILS.

OKAY, TRINA, I JUST HAVE
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING

THAT I JUST FOUND OUT.

YOU KNOW,
I AM AN INVESTIGATOR.

MOMMY HAS A NEW BEAU.
- MOMMY WHO?

YOU-YOU HAVE
ONE MOTHER, TRINA.

- REALLY?
- YEP.

WELL, HOW COME YOU
DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT IT?

I DON'T BELIEVE IN JUST
PUTTIN' MY BUSINESS OUT THERE.

OOH!

THEY WANT TO
KNOW EVERYTHING,

AND THEY CALLED ME
"THE-THE SECRET SQUIRREL,"

BECAUSE I THINK YOU
SHOULD ALWAYS RESERVE

SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF.

WELL, HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN SEEIN' THIS GUY?

MAYBE...

A MONTH AND A HALF.

SHE'S BEEN DATIN' HIM
FOR OVER A MONTH AND A HALF

AND SHE DIDN'T TELL
US ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

SO, TRINA AND I DECIDE

TO PUT MOMMY ON
THE WITNESS STAND,

AND ASK HER A BUNCH OF
QUESTIONS ABOUT HER NEW MAN.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?
- DOC.

- WHAT'S HIS PROFESSION?
- UM, HE IS A DOCTOR.

REALLY?

HE'S AN M.D.

I WOULD LOVE
TO DATE A DOCTOR.

WE WOULD PLAY "DOCTOR"
ALL THE TIME.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

NEXT.
- YOU KISS HIM?

WHAT?!

I THINK THAT'S MY BUSINESS.
- "WHAT?!"

- THAT MEANS "YES."
- THAT'S A "YES."

- YOU LIKE HIM!
- OH, MY GOD!

YOU ARE BLUSHIN'--
YOU'RE A LITTLE GIDDY.

SHE JUST GOT REALLY
BASHFUL AND SHY.

I MEAN, SHE WAS JUST--
WE WAS LIKE,

"OH, MOMMY, YOU'RE
SERIOUS ABOUT THIS ONE."

- DID HE PAY FOR LUNCH?
- .

YOU-YOU FORGOT WHO
YOU'RE TALKIN' TO.

I KNOW, BUT YOU JUST
NEVER KNOW, MOM.

- RIGHT.
- HE PAID FOR IT, YES.

OKAY, WE KNOW HE'S RICH, AND
NOW WE KNOW HE'S NOT CHEAP.

HOW'S HE DRESS?
- SUAVE.

- IS HE TALL?
- HE'S TALL.

IS HE BLACK?

- HE'S NICE AND BROWN.
- IS HE MEDIUM?

IS HE LARGE?

HE'S KIND OF MEDIUM,
NOT LARGE.

'CAUSE HE'S
INTO HEALTH.

HE'S REALLY--
HE'S A VEGETARIAN.

OH.

IT SEEMS A LITTLE ODD THAT
A MAN DOESN'T EAT MEAT.

I LIKE ME
A MANLY MAN!

I LIKE A MAN WHO EAT MEAT
AND FISH AND EVERYTHING.

DOES HE HAVE
ALL HIS TEETH?

TRINA, I DON'T THINK THAT'S
AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION.

I'M JUST TRYIN' TO GET
A MENTAL PICTURE, THAT'S ALL.

I REALLY FEEL LIKE
I'M ON THE HOT SEAT

AND IT'S
GETTING WARM.

OF COURSE, TO FIND OUT
THAT HE'S A FINE BLACK MAN,

THERE'S ONLY ONE
QUESTION TO ASK.

DOES HE WALK
LIKE DENZEL?

- JUST A LITTLE BIT.
- OH, I LOVE IT!

I CAN'T WAIT TO
MEET DENZEL JUNIOR.

ME NEITHER-- I CAN'T WAIT
TO MEET DENZEL JUNIOR.

DENZEL JUNIOR, TOWANDA.

- DENZEL JUNIOR.
- JUST A LITTLE BIT.

SO, WHEN WE GONNA MEET HIM?
- WHEN YOU WANT TO MEET HIM.

YOU WILLING TO DO,
LIKE, A DOUBLE DATE

WITH, LIKE, GABE AND I.

- WE CAN DO THAT.
- YEAH?

I'D LOVE TO MEET HIM--
LET'S GO HAVE A DATE.

I HAVE A
BETTER IDEA.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE
A COOKOUT AT YOUR HOUSE

AND WE ALL
COME OVER.

I GOT A BETTER ONE--
ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I'M NOT GOING TO
SUBJECT THIS MAN

TO ALL OF
MY GIRLS.

POOR BABY, HE WILL
RUN TO THE HILLS.

AND SO, I DECIDED THAT
I WOULD DO ONE ON ONE.

I'LL START
WITH TRINA.

HERE'S TO--
- HERE'S TO YOU.

A NEW RELATIONSHIP.

HERE'S TO ME,
CLINK, CLINK.

CLINK, CLINK, CLINK,
CLINK, CLINK, CLINK.

I KNOW IT'S YOUR
HOUSE AND EVERYTHING,

BUT IF YOU SAY "NO SHOES RULE,"
THAT SHOULD APPLY TO YOU, TOO.

BUT I WANT TO
FEEL TALL TODAY.

BUT I WANNA FEEL COMPLETE,
LIKE MY OUTFIT GOTTA BE RIGHT.

WELL, YOUR SOCKS LOOK
LIKE H.R. PUFFINSTUFF.

I HAVE A GIG IN
INDIANAPOLIS,

AND SINCE TAMAR DOESN'T
WANNA BE A DO-OP-POP CHICK

FOR ME ANYMORE,

I THOUGHT IT'D BE A GREAT
IDEA TO KEEP IN THE FAMILY.

SO, I ASKED TRACI
TO TAKE HER PLACE.

TRACI, OF COURSE,
WAS HAPPY TO DO IT.

SHE'S IN L.A. TO
FRESHEN UP ON THE PARTS

AND LEARN ALL
THE CHOREOGRAPHY.

AND FOR ME, AS A PERFORMER,
MY FANS MEAN THE WORLD TO ME.

SO, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
TRACI REALLY NAILS IT,

AND I HAVE
FAITH IN HER.

I KNOW SHE'S
GONNA DO IT.

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW
TRACI THE CHOREOGRAPHY?

I'LL BE HAPPY TO.

I CAN SHOW HER, BUT IT'S
STILL NOT THE SAME,

UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL
THE COMPONENTS.

YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M SAYIN'?

I AGREE, BUT I THINK YOU
CAN SHOW HER ONE ON ONE

AND THEN PUT IT
WITH THE GIRLS.

YEAH, BUT SHE DON'T KNOW
THE CHOREOGRAPHY WITH THEM.

USUALLY A PERSON
LEARNS IT BY THEMSELF

AND THEN YOU PUT 'EM
WITH THE OTHERS.

BUT TRACI GOTTA BE
RECEPTIVE TO WHAT I TEACH

AND NOT TAKE
IT PERSONAL.

I AM SURE I CAN TEACH TRACI
BRAXTON SOME BASIC MOVES,

BUT THERE AIN'T NO WAY I CAN
TEACH SOMEBODY HOW TO POP, POP

AND DROP, DROP AND
ROLL, ROLL, ROLL,

AND BOOM, BOOM
LIKE I DO,

BECAUSE IT'S EITHER YOU
GOT IT OR YOU DO NOT!

AND I GOT IT.

BUT TAMAR, SOMETIMES
WHEN YOU TEACH...

- I WANT HER TO GET THE STEPS.
- YOU'RE NOT TEACHING.

YOU'RE-YOU'RE LECTURING--
TEACH.

NO, TAMAR CAN
SOMETIMES BE A DICTATOR.

YOU GOTTA BE
MORE PATIENT.

JUST SHOW HER
THE CHOREOGRAPHY.

IF I'M GONNA SHOW
YOU THE CHOREOGRAPHY,

YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST DO AN
HOUR OF CARDIO EVERYDAY--

ONLY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T
BE ON STAGE DOING...

"OOH, GEEZ, I
CAN'T DO IT."

YEAH, YEAH.

YOUR HEART AND YOUR BREATH
GOTTA BE, YOU KNOW, ON POINT.

SO, IT'S LIKE--
- TRACI KNOWS THAT.

SHE USED
TO DANCE.

NO, I'M JUST SAYIN'--
I'M JUST SAYIN', BUT--

TRY NOT TO GET
SENSITIVE ABOUT IT,

'CAUSE IT'S GONNA BE MUSCLES
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO EXERCISE

THAT YOU
NEVER USE.

I'M PREPARING YOU NOW--
BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF.

JUST SHOW HER THE CHOREOGRAPHY--
SHE'LL BE OKAY.

- I WILL SHOW YOU.
- YOU-YOU KNOW THE SONGS, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW THE SONGS, SO
NOW JUST CHOREOGRAPHY.

ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW ALL
THE SONGS OF TONI BRAXTON,

BUT THEY DON'T
NEED TO KNOW THAT.

I'M GONNA GET THE CD OUT
AND-AND START LEARNIN'.

YOU KNOW, KNOW,
KNOW, KNOW THE SONGS?

YOU KNOW THE SONGS,
RIGHT?

- I KNOW THE SONGS.
- OKAY, THEN IT'S FINE.

WE'RE GOOD.
- OKAY.

- DON'T HOLD MY HAND NOW.
- STOP!

IT'S FINALLY TIME TO
MEET THIS MYSTERIOUS GUY

MOMMY'S BEEN DATING.

SO, WE SET UP
A DINNER DATE,

BUT THEY WANNA
EAT AT FOUR.

WHO EATS AT 4 P.M.?

YOU MUST BE DOC.
- HEY, YOU.

I JUST RECENTLY HEARD
SO MUCH ABOUT YOU.

- MMM.
- YEAH.

- ALL GOOD?
- OH, OF COURSE.

LET'S START FROM THE
BEGINNING-- WHERE'D Y'ALL MEET?

UH, WHAT'S THE NAME
OF THAT PLACE?

I DON'T KNOW
THE NAME OF IT.

I DON'T EVEN
REMEMBER THE NAME.

WE-WE-WE DON'T
REMEMBER THE NAME.

IT-IT WAS SUCH
A GOOD EVENING

THAT WE DIDN'T
REMEMBER THE NAME.

OOH!

DAMN, THIS DOC'S
A PLAYER.

HE'S THE LOVE DOCTOR.

WHERE'D YOU
GO TO SCHOOL?

UH, ANTIGUA,
WEST INDIES.

REALLY!

- REALLY?
- YES.

HOW DID
THAT HAPPEN?

- OH, THAT'S A LONG STORY.
- I HAVE TIME.

OH, I DON'T KNOW IF
WE HAVE TIME FOR THAT.

- I DON'T HAVE TIME.
- YEAH.

- NO OFFENSE.
- YEAH.

- NO OFFENSE TO YOU.
- NO, NONE TAKEN.

DOC HAVE A WAY OF GOIN'
ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BARN

AND THEN INTO THE DOOR
AND IT COULD TAKE,

LIKE, THREE OR
FOUR HOURS.

I REALLY FEEL LIKE DOC
AND MOMMY DID NOT WANT ME

TO KNOW
THE STORY

ABOUT HIM GETTING
HIS DEGREE IN ANTIGUA.

CAN I CHANGE
THE CONVERSATION?

YOU KNOW, WE BEEN THINKIN'
ABOUT WHERE ANDRE AND TOWANDA

AND THERE FAMILY'S
GONNA GO NEXT...

UH-HUH?

...AND...

JUST TRYIN'
TO SEE...

I MEAN, YOU HAVE A LOT OF
ROOMS IN YOUR HOUSE...

SO...

GABE BROUGHT UP SOME
THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW,

IT JUST WAS
NOT THE TIME.

THEY WERE JUST MEETING
HIM, FOR GOD'S SAKES.

YOU HAVE ALL
THOSE BEDROOMS.

I MEAN, I FIGURED THEY COULD
KINDA TRANSITION OVER

INTO THAT...
YOUR HOUSE.

WE'RE JUST MEETING
HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME,

AND I THINK YOU'RE WONDERFUL.
- THANK YOU.

YOU'RE SO KIND.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU-- I THINK
YOU'RE WONDERFUL, TOO.

HOWEVER, THOSE FAMILIAL ISSUES
NEED TO STAY WITH THE FAMILY,

AND THEY DON'T
NEED TO BE, YOU KNOW,

DIVULGED RIGHT NOW IN
FRONT OF THE COMPANY.

GABE IS JUST
A FUN SNATCHER.

DO YOU HAVE TO
GO THERE, GABE?

NO!

NOT IN FRONT OF
THE COMPANY, HONEY!

SO, UM, WHAT-WHAT IS YOUR
INTENT WITH MY MAMA?

THAT'S A VERY
GOOD QUESTION.

WE'RE TAKIN'
IT VERY SLOW.

UM, I WOULD LOVE FOR
HER TO BE WITH ME

FOR THE REST OF
MY TIME HERE.

IS THAT A PROPOSAL
FOR MARRIAGE?

HE SAID...

MOMMY...

HE SAID HE WOULD VERY MUCH
LIKE TO SPEND HIS TIME

WITH YOU FOR THE REST...

OF MY TIME.

...OF HIS TIME...

HERE.
- CLINK, CLINK.

SO, YOU GUYS REALLY SEEM
TO BE IN LIKE WITH EACH OTHER.

YEAH, I LIKE HIM.

AND I LIKE HER A LOT.

I'M SORRY--

OOH, THERE'S
A LITTLE IMBALANCE THERE.

"I LIKE."

"I LIKE A LOT."
- A LOT.

- THAT'S NOT BALANCED?
- NO, THAT'S NOT BALANCED.

Y'ALL NEED TO
BE EVENLY YOKED.

MMM-HMM.

I THINK, A FEW WEEKS, YOU
CAN'T-YOU REALLY CAN'T TELL.

BUT IT'S BEEN MORE
THAN A FEW WEEKS.

IT'S BEEN ALMOST MONTHS.

OKAY, SEVERAL WEEKS, YOU
CAN'T-YOU REALLY CAN'T TELL.

I JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN.

I DON'T WANNA
GET MARRIED AGAIN.

OKAY, THIS WHAT
WE'RE THINKIN'.

THIS IS WHAT
WE'RE THINKIN'.

WOULD YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH ANDRE AND TOWANDA

AND THEIR FAMILY STAYIN'--
- ARE WE BACK ON THIS?

I THINK THAT GABE NEED
TO BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD.

OKAY, GO AHEAD, MOMMY.

YOU HAVE MY-YOU HAVE
MY PERMISSION TO STAB HIM

IN THE NECK WITH A FORK.

IN THE NECK.
- YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

THIS IS TAMAR BRAXTON!

I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR NO PRIMA DONNAS.

WELL, THEN YOU
BETTER LEAVE!

I CAME HERE TO
TEACH MY SISTER

HOW TO DO
MY SISTER'S SHOW,

AND I GETS NO RESPECT.

HOW'S

HOW'S THE

HOW'S THE BABIES

HOW'S THE BABIES DOIN'?

GETTIN' BIG AND CRAZY.

TRINA, TRACI,
AND I FLEW TO L.A.

TO HELP TONI WITH
HER UPCOMING CONCERT,

AND I FIGURED
WHILE WE'RE OUT HERE,

I SHOULD DISCUSS
MY ACTING CAREER.

OKAY, I GOTTA TELL
YOU GUYS A SECRET.

TRINA!

ARE YOU PINCHIN'
MY WOBBLY BITS?

TOWANDA, LET GO-- LET GO.
- YES, SHE IS.

WELL, WHAT?

NO, I'M GONNA TELL
YOU GUYS WHAT HAPPENED.

I SAW HILL HARPER
ON THE PLANE.

HILL HARPER IS AN
EXTREMELY TALENTED ACTOR

IN FILM AND TELEVISION.

HE'S ALSO A
SUCCESSFUL WRITER

AND HE'S VERY HANDSOME.

I WALKED UP TO HIM
AND I TALKED TO HIM,

AND I SAID, "MY SISTER
JUST LOVES YOU."

- WHAT DID HE SAY?
- WHICH WE-- TOWANDA.

SO, WE CALLED
HER ON THE PHONE.

OH, THAT'S--

WE CALLED HER ON THE PHONE,
AND TOWANDA WAS SPEECHLESS.

NOT TOWANDA!

"UH, UH, UH, UH,
MR. GOODNIGHT."

- "GOODNIGHT."
- YES.

I THINK YOU LIKE EMBARRASSING
ME BY TELLING THAT STORY.

NO, IT'S NOT
EMBARRASSING.

BECAUSE I'M GONNA
TELL YOU WHY.

WHY ARE YOU EMBARRASSED--
BECAUSE YOU LIKE HIM.

NO, I'M GONNA TELL YOU,
BECAUSE THAT'S THE FIRST TIME

IN HISTORY THAT I DIDN'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY.

I WAS LIKE, "UH-HUH."
- THAT'S BECAUSE YOU LIKE HIM.

TOWANDA, IT IS NOTHING
WRONG WITH HAVIN' A CRUSH

ON A SUCCESSFUL--
TOWANDA AND HILL HARPER

SITTIN' IN A TREE
K-I-S-S-I-N-G

I HAVE TO ADMIT
I DO HAVE

JUST A LITTLE CRUSH
ON HILL HARPER.

I DO--
YES, I DO.

YEAH-- AND I CAN'T SAY
THAT WITHOUT BLUSHING.

TOWANDA, WHAT YOU GONNA DO
TO GET CLOSER TO HILL HARPER?

HE CAN HELP YOU
WITH YOUR ACTING.

THAT'S WHAT
I'M SAYING.

NO, SHE CAN HELP
HER WITH HER ACTING.

THAT WAY SHE CAN MEET HIM.
- THANK YOU, TAMAR.

WHY YOU ACTIN'--

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN
ACTRESS TO MEET HILL HARPER.

I'M JUST SAYIN',
THAT'S-THAT'S A WAY

TO KINDA,
YOU KNOW, HOLLER.

CAN YOU GO ON "C.S.I." NOW--
ARE YOU READY?

A GUEST SPOT,
AS A LOVE INTEREST.

- YEAH.
- ALL FIVE EPISODES.

THANK YOU, TRINA.

WELL, HOW YOU, LIKE, YOU
HAVE AN AGENT-- YOU HAVE A--

I AM ALWAYS READY-- THAT'S
WHAT I NEED TO WORK ON.

I NEED AN AGENT
TO WORK FOR ME.

SHE NEEDS
AN AGENT.

TO-TO SEND ME OUT ON THINGS,
'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN AGENT

TO SEND ME
ON ANYTHING.

I GOT NOTHIN'.

OKAY, BUT WHAT DO YOU HAVE,
LIKE, TO MEET AN AGENT?

DO YOU HAVE YOUR HEAD-SHOT?
- I HAVE EVERYTHING.

I REALLY NEED
A GOOD AGENT.

I NEED AN AGENT WHO
WILL BELIEVE IN ME

AND WHO WILL GIVE
ME SOME GOOD WORK.

THIS IS WHAT
WE SHOULD DO.

WE SHOULD ALL GET TOGETHER,
CALL OUR AGENTS,

CALL OUR PEOPLE, AND GET
TOWANDA A READING FOR "C.S.I."

WAIT, WAIT.

SO SHE CAN
HILL HARPER.

WELL, HOW MANY AUDITIONS HAVE
YOU BEEN ON SINCE YOU'VE HAD--

- IT DOESN'T MATTER--
- NO, BECAUSE LISTEN.

I'M-I'M INTO DOIN'
THAT, RIGHT,

BUT WE WANNA KNOW
THAT TOWANDA, SHE READY.

SHE ON HER FEET--
SHE GOT IT, YOU KNOW, POPPIN'.

WANNA HOOK UP, YOU KNOW,
YOUR HOOK UPS, AND YOU KNOW,

LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING-- RIGHT.

NO, NO, NO-- LET ME HELP
YOU UNDERSTAND SOMETHING.

HAS ANYBODY EVER SEEN
TOWANDA'S HEAD-SHOTS?

NO--
YOU WANNA KNOW WHY?

'CAUSE SHE AIN'T GOT NONE--
BOOM!

I'LL HAVE TO BE HONEST.

TOWANDA HAS CHILDREN, AND
WE'RE FILMING THIS SHOW.

IT'S CHALLENGING.

AND IT'S GONNA BE--
HER COMMITMENT LEVEL

WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO BE THERE.

I CONCUR.

WHEREAS, IF SHE DOES TELEVISION,
SHE'S GONNA GET A SCRIPT,

SHE DOES HER HOURS,
SHE COME BACK HOME.

AND SHE'S
IN ONE PLACE.

BUT TOWANDA, IT'S NOTHIN'
WRONG WITH HAVIN' A CRUSH

ON A SUCCESSFUL,
CUTE, BLACK GUY!

- .
- WHO YOUR CRUSH THEN?

- I-- I'M WITH MY CRUSH.
- OKAY, WHO'S YOUR GIRL CRUSH?

- WHAT?
- EVERYBODY HAS A GIRL CRUSH.

I DON'T HAVE ONE.

THAT'S WHAT THEY
SAID IN "GLAMOUR."

EVERYONE HAS A GIRL CRUSH.
- TONI, NOW YOU--

THAT'S A LIE--
UH-UH.

OKAY, WELL, WHO'S
YOUR GIRL CRUSH?

IF I HAD TO HAVE
A GIRL CRUSH, ELLEN...

DEGENERES.

ELLEN HAS SWAGGER--
I'M SORRY.

- ELLEN HAS CRAZY SWAGGER.
- YES, SHE DOES.

SHE HAS SWAGGER.
- WAIT A MINUTE!

ANDROGYNOUS-- I LOVE HER!

- Y'ALL LIKE GIRLS?!
- NO, WE DON'T LIKE GIRLS.

BUT-BUT IF BARBARA WALTER'S
INTERVIEWED YOU AND SAID,

"TAMAR, FUN STUFF--
FUN STUFF."

FUN STUFF-- FUN-- GO AHEAD.
"- WHO'S YOUR GIRL CRUSH?"

TAMAR , BOOM!

UGH-- I THINK WE SHOULD SET
TOWANDA UP WITH MR. HILL HARPER.

NO-- I CAN ATTEST
THAT HILL HARPER

AIN'T COMIN' TO TOWANDA'S
HOUSE WITH HER BABY DADDY,

GOT BROOKE IN ONE ARM
AND BRAXTON RIGHT HERE,

TALKIN' ABOUT, "ALL RIGHT,
HAVE A GOOD TIME!"

FIRST AND FOREMOST, NO ONE
IS EVER COMING TO THE HOUSE

FOR THE FIRST DATE.

EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT
INTERESTED IN DATING

RIGHT NOW, I MEAN...

IF HE ASKED ME TO HAVE HIS BABY,
I WOULD THINK ABOUT IT.

DO YOU
WANT A BABY?

I WANT A BABY IN MY LIFE,
BUT NOT RIGHT NOW.

I SAY THAT TAMAR IS TOO
VAIN TO CARRY A BABY.

AIN'T THAT
STANK, TONI?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST
HAVE A SURROGATE?

THAT'S WHAT-THAT'S WHAT--
AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS

LEADING UP TO.

BUT SOMEBODY STILL GOTTA WATCH
IT-- WHO'S GONNA WATCH IT?

I GOT THINGS TO DO--
I'M BUSY!

NANNIES--
THERE ARE NANNIES.

BUT THAT'S WHY I
DON'T HAVE ONE.

JUST 'CAUSE MY SISTERS WAS HOT
IN THE ASS WHEN THEY WAS YOUNGER

AND DECIDED
TO HAVE KIDS,

THAT DON'T MEAN THAT'S WHAT
I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE.

THE BUSIEST PEOPLE IN
THE WORLD HAVE BABIES.

- AND THEY HAVE A NANNY.
- THEY DO!

OKAY.

YEAH, BUT-- NO, IT'S
NOTHIN' WRONG WITH THAT.

I-I JUST HAVE THINGS
I WANNA DO RIGHT NOW.

YOU CAN STILL
DO IT WITH A KID.

HOW MANY KIDS DOES
ANGELINA AND BRAD HAVE?

THAT'S THEM.

BUT THEY-BUT THEY-THEY
BRING THEIR KIDS

ON THE FIELD TRIP
WITH THEM.

BUT THEY BRINGIN'
THEIR BABIES.

I DON'T WANT
TO BE THE DUCK

WITH THE KIDS
WALKIN' BEHIND ME.

"THE DUCK"?

YEAH, YOU KNOW HOW
THE-THE DUCK HAVE A BABY

AND ALL THE DOGGONE
CHICKADEES AND ALL THAT.

I DON'T WANT THAT--
THAT AIN'T HOT.

SO, BASICALLY, YOU
WANNA ENJOY YOUR TIME

AT THE AMUSEMENT PARK,

INSTEAD OF HAVIN' A BIG
OLD BEAR WITH YA.

YEAH.

NO, I GOT
THE BIG BEAR WITH ME.

- I'M TALKIN' ABOUT THE BABIES.
- THE BEAR IS THERE.

YOU KNOW, WITH
THE-THE PRIZE--

THE PRIZE BEAR--
YOU GOTTA CARRY IT AROUND.

RIGHT, YOU GOTTA CARRY
IT AROUND ALL THE TIME.

AND YOU CAN'T RIDE
ON NO MORE RIDES.

I UNDERSTOOD
THAT ONE.

AND I NEVER
UNDERSTAND TRACI,

BUT I UNDERSTOOD THAT ONE.
- SO, BOOM, THERE YOU GO.

YES-- I MEAN,
LIKE FOR ONCE,

TRACI'S MAKING
A LOT OF SENSE.

I DON'T WANNA BE LUGGIN'
NO KIDS AROUND WITH ME.

I MEAN, I GOT TOO
MANY THINGS TO DO.

I THINK I HAVE
A MOTHER INSTINCT NOW,

AND MY MOTHERLY INSTINCT SAYS,
"DON'T YOU HAVE ONE, BOO,

"BECAUSE YOU
AIN'T READY."

THAT MAKES SENSE.

- WHAT'S GOIN' ON, ANDA?
- I WAS THINKIN', TONI.

I AM REALLY SERIOUS
ABOUT ACTING.

GOOD!

YOU KNOW, SOME
OF MY SISTERS

MAY NOT TAKE MY ACTING
VERY SERIOUSLY,

BUT I HOPE
TONI WILL.

I JUST NEED A REALLY,
REALLY, REALLY GOOD AGENT.

I WOULD SAY

YES, I WAS THINKIN'
THE SAME THING.

SOMEONE WHO CAN
PUT THE TIME IN.

YES, I DON'T
WANNA GET LOST.

AND SOMETIMES THE BIGGER
AGENCIES, YOU GET LOST.

I AGREE WITH THAT.
- QUICK QUESTION.

YOUR FIRST ROLE, HOW DID
YOU HANDLE THIS ROLE?

MY VERY, VERY FIRST
ROLE WAS "KINGDOM COME,"

WITH JADA PINKETT SMITH,
LL COOL J, AND WHOOPI GOLDBERG,

MY FAVORITE FEMALE ACTRESS,
SHE AND MERYL STREEP.

RIGHT.

AND THEY WERE REALLY NICE
TO ME, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING,

LET IT BE KNOWN,
THAT SHE IS A SINGER

TRYIN' TO BE AN ACTRESS
AND SHE IS NOT.

BUT WHOOPI GOLDBERG
WAS GREAT.

SHE WAS LIKE, "DO YOU--
BE WHO YOU ARE."

YOU KNOW, I'M ASKING TONI
FOR HER ADVICE ABOUT ACTING

BECAUSE SHE'S
DONE IT.

SHE'S BEEN
IN MOVIES.

SO, I-I REALLY RESPECT
HER OPINION ABOUT THAT.

WHAT TYPE OF ROLES
DO YOU WANNA DO?

ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR YOU
THINK YOUR STRENGTHS ARE?

I'M KINDA VERSATILE--
I'M MORE LIKE A CHAMELEON.

LIKE, "I'M AN ACTRESS,
DAMN IT-- I'M AN ACTRESS."

- I AM.
- I'M AN ACTRESS.

I CAN DO ALL
OF IT, REALLY.

I CAN PLAY THE SISTER
OF A SUPERSTAR,

THE SISTER OF A DIVA,
THE SISTER OF A HOOD RAT,

"WHAT, WHAT," AND
THE SISTER OF A DRUNK.

I THINK I CAN GET THOSE ROLES--
I THINK I'D BE GOOD.

YEAH-- MMM-HMM-- YOU KNOW WHAT,
I GET UPSET SOMETIMES

WHEN I WATCH
THE SOAP OPERAS,

BECAUSE YOU KNOW
I'M STILL ADDICTED

TO "THE YOUNG AND
THE RESTLESS."

I WOULD LOVE TO
SEE YOU ON A SOAP.

- WOULDN'T THAT BE GREAT!
- YES!

MEG RYAN CAME FROM THE SOAPS.
- MEG RYAN.

DEMI MOORE CAME FROM THE SOAPS.
- HILL HARPER.

TONI.

I DON'T WANNA
DISCOURAGE TOWANDA,

AND I WOULD NEVER TELL
HER THIS TO HER FACE,

BUT ACTING IS ONE OF
THE TOUGHEST BUSINESSES

TO BREAK INTO, AND I DON'T
THINK IT'S A REALISTIC CHOICE

FOR HER RIGHT NOW.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU THINKIN'
NEXT STEPS WOULD BE,

SO YOU CAN GO IN
THAT DIRECTION?

WELL, FOR SOAPS, I WOULD
JUST HAVE TO COME OUT HERE.

YOU'D BE GLAD TO
HEAR THAT, HUH?

YES.

'CAUSE JUST ADMIT IT, I'M
YOUR BEST FRIEND SISTER NOW.

IT'S OKAY.
- THIS IS TRUE.

HEY, WHO'S-- DON'T
TOOT THE HORN AT ME.

STAY IN YOUR LANE--
I'M SORRY!

HE HAD ROAD RAGE--
I DON'T HAVE ROAD RAGE.

HE TOOTED THE HORN AT ME.
- CLEARLY, YOU DON'T.

- HE TOOTED THE HORN AT ME.
- YES, HE DID.

NO, ONE TIME-- I'M GONNA
TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED.

ONE TIME-- THIS
IS A TRUE STORY.

I'M DRIVIN' IN
SANTA MONICA,

AND I GUESS I WASN'T
GOIN' FAST ENOUGH,

BUT I WAS INDECISIVE IN
WHAT I WAS GONNA DO.

AND THIS CAR TOOTED
ITS HORN AT ME,

AND I TOOTED MY HORN
BACK AT HIM.

I'M LIKE,
"WHAT-- WHAT!"

IT WAS SMOKEY ROBINSON.

AND I WOUND
MY WINDOW DOWN.

I WAS LIKE,
"SMOKEY ROBINSON,

"WHY WOULDN'T YOU
LET ME OVER?"

I WOULD HAVE SAID,
"TONI BRAXTON--"

I SAID, IT'S TONI BRAXTON--"
"I KNOW WHO YOU ARE."

EXACTLY.

- OKAY, LET'S EAT.
- NO, I'M NOT GONNA EAT.

YOU CAN'T HAVE
BREAD TODAY, HUH?

NO BREAD TODAY.

I'M THINKIN' ABOUT THAT
PANCAKE THIS MORNING

I SAW YOU HAVE.
- I DID HAVE ONE PANCAKE,

SO THAT'S WHY I'M NOT
EATING THE BREAD,

'CAUSE I'M GOING TO MY ZUMBA.
- OH, YOU'RE GOING TO ZUMBA.

I LOVE ZUMBA.

- YOU MOVE YOUR BOTTOM.
- DON'T SAY "BOTTOM."

BODY, SAY "BODY."

- OKAY, BODY AND BOTTOM.
- MMM-MMM.

- JUST SAY "BODY," MOM.
- BUT YOU DO MOVE IT ALL.

SAY "BOOTY"
OR "BODY."

- OKAY, YOU MOVE YOUR BOOTY.
- OKAY, THAT'S BETTER.

"BOTTOM" MAKES ME
THINK THE OTHER ONE.

WHAT BOTTOM?

WHAT OTHER ONE?

- YOUR FRONT.
- OH, YOU DO MOVE THAT!

YES, YOU DO.

IT WORKS EVERYTHING.

- YOU'RE MOVIN' YOUR VAGINA?
- STOMACH, EVERYBODY.

TOO MUCH
INFORMATION, MOMMY.

EW, I THINK IT'S TIME
TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

UGH-- WHAT'S NEXT?

ANYTHING GOIN' ON?

WHAT'S THIS I HEAR YOU'RE
THINKIN' ABOUT MOVING?

WELL, YEAH, I AM
THINKIN' ABOUT MOVING.

I WOULD LIKE TO
MOVE CLOSER IN.

- THAT MAKES SENSE.
- LIKE BUCKHEAD.

YOU KNOW, I'M SO FAR OUT,
AND THERE'S NO ONE THERE.

MMM-HMM.

I LIVE ON THE OUTSIDE
OF ATLANTA,

AND SO I'M TRYING TO
HAVE A MORE SOCIAL LIFE,

AND SO I NEED TO MOVE JUST
A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE CITY.

I DO WANT YOU TO MOVE--
GET A NICE PLACE.

I AM.

WHAT DOES DOC THINK
ABOUT YOU MOVIN'?

WELL, DOC IS-DOC
IS ALL FOR IT.

WHY DON'T Y'ALL JUST MOVE
IN TOGETHER-- IT'S 2011.

UH, NO-- NO--
UH, NO.

IT CAN BE YOUR PLACE
AND HE MOVE IN.

SO, IF IT DON'T WORK OUT,
YOU CAN TELL HIM "GET OUT."

IF IT'S HIS PLACE, HE
TELL YOU "GET OUT."

NO, HE WOULD NEVER
TELL ME TO "GET OUT,"

'CAUSE I WOULD-- NO,
I DON'T THINK SO.

I DON'T FEEL
COMFORTABLE DOIN' THAT.

I MEAN, WHY
BUY THE COW

WHEN YOU'RE GETTIN'
ALL THE MILK FREE.

I'M NOT A-- I'M NOT--

BUT AIN'T Y'ALL
DATING EXCLUSIVELY?

- WELL--
- I DON'T KNOW THE SITUATION.

I'M TRYIN' TO BE NOSY--
I'M SORRY.

PHEW.

SEE--
- I'M SORRY.

UGH!

PEOPLE LIVE WITH PEOPLE
NOW BEFORE THEY GET MARRIED,

BEFORE THEY--
- WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

PEOPLE MAY DO THAT--
I DON'T DO THAT.

I DON'T FEEL
COMFORTABLE DOING THAT.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M SAYIN'.

- I HAVE TO RESPECT THAT.
- I CAN'T DO THAT.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF
YOU'RE COMFORTABLE

IF YOU NEVER TRIED IT?
- OH, OH, I DON'T WANNA TRY IT.

I KNOW I'M NOT
COMFORTABLE.

JUST THE THOUGHT OF IT,
UH, WORKS ON MY NERVES.

I THINK YOU SHOULD BE MARRIED
AND LIVING, YOU KNOW,

WITH-WITH A MAN
AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

AND BESIDES, WHAT DOES
THAT SAY ABOUT ME

WHEN IT COMES TO MY
GRANDCHILDREN AND MY CHILDREN.

I JUST DON'T
BELIEVE IN THAT.

WHAT IF Y'ALL WERE ENGAGED,
WOULD YOU LIVE TOGETHER?

NO.

IF Y'ALL WAS
MARRIED, WOULD YOU?

THAT'S DIFFERENT.

I THOUGHT I'D ASK.

YOU KNOW WHAT, SOMETIMES
I DON'T LIKE YOU!

HE'LL HAVE HIS PLACE,
AND YOU'LL HAVE YOUR SPACE.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT,
THAT'S A GOOD THING,

'CAUSE, UM, SOMETIMES YOU DON'T
FEEL LIKE BEIN' BOTHERED.

YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE COMPANY--
YOU DON'T WANNA BE COMPANY.

- OKAY, THAT'S TRUE.
- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

YOU WANT YOUR OWN
LITTLE SPACE.

GO OVER IN YOUR
OWN LITTLE CORNER.

YOU KNOW?

I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT
MY MOM IS SO OLD FASHIONED.

I, ON THE OTHER HAND,
THE HOE IN ME,

"LET'S MOVE TOGETHER.

"I GOTTA MAKE SURE
THIS IS GONNA WORK."

I'VE BEEN MARRIED BEFORE--
I'D LIKE TO TEST IT OUT.

SORRY.

I LIKE TO EAT THAT WHOLE COW
TO KNOW I'M EATING BEEF.

THAT'S GONNA WORK FOR ME.

LET'S DO A TOAST.
- TO YOUR SUCCESS.

HERE'S JUST TO YOU!

I JUST MET DOC, WHAT,
THREE MONTHS AGO?

DOES HE TRY TO KISS
YOU IN YOUR MOUTH?

DOES HE USE THE TONGUE?

FRENCH KISS?

DOES HE TRY TO
USE THE TONGUE?

DO YOU KISS HIM
WITH YOUR MOUTH?

WHAT ELSE AM
I GONNA KISS HIM WITH?

TONI

TONI ASKED

TONI ASKED ME

TONI ASKED ME TO

TONI ASKED ME TO WHIP

TONI ASKED ME TO WHIP UP

TONI ASKED ME TO WHIP UP
THE

TONI ASKED ME TO WHIP UP
THE GIRLS

TONI ASKED ME TO WHIP UP
THE GIRLS FOR

TONI ASKED ME TO WHIP UP
THE GIRLS FOR HER

TONI ASKED ME TO WHIP UP
THE GIRLS FOR HER SHOW

IN INDIANAPOLIS THAT'S
COMIN' UP IN FOUR DAYS,

AND I USED TO SING BACKGROUND
WITH TONI, AND I WAS HOT.

THEY NOT.

THIS IS TAMAR BRAXTON.

YOU WANNA
BE FAMOUS?

YOU WANNA SING?

WELL, IT STARTS
RIGHT NOW!

TOWANDA!

- WHAT?!
- THIS IS WHERE YOU GONNA SWEAT.

I DON'T SWEAT.

THE MORE
YOU WANT IT,

THE MORE
YOU'LL SWEAT.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

WELL, YOU SAID
YOU DON'T SWEAT.

WELL, I SWEAT LIKE
A SLAUGHTERING PIG,

SO I MUST WANT
IT ALL THE TIME.

I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR NO PRIMA DONNAS.

WELL, THEN YOU
BETTER LEAVE.

WHY IS TAMAR ACTING LIKE
SUCH A BAD IMPRESSION

OF DEBBIE ALLEN
ON "FAME"?

SHE'S-- TAMAR
CAN'T DANCE.

THIS IS GONNA
BE A LONG DAY.

EVERYTHING
IS A PICTURE.

SNAP--
SEE, WATCH ME.

AND SNAP, SNAP, SNAP,
SNAP, SNAP, AND SNAP.

CLICK--
I JUST DID A PHOTO SHOOT.

TRACI'S A RUSTY DANCER.

TAMAR'S A TERRIBLE TEACHER.

WHAT COULD
POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

AND FIVE, SIX,
SEVEN, EIGHT, AND NO!

NO, NO!

GO BACK!

I'M TRYIN' TO PRACTICE,
TRYIN' TO GET THE...

THE CHOREOGRAPHY,

AND I JUST FELT THAT TAMAR
KEPT BROW BEATING ME.

TAMAR, I MEAN--

TRACI, IF-IF YOU LOOK LIKE
YOU PLAYIN' HOP SCOTCH,

THAT AIN'T
THE MOVE!

TRACI-- HOW DO I
PUT THIS NICELY?

OR LET ME
JUST PUT IT.

TRACI NEEDS
LOTS OF HELP.

SHE'S VERY RUSTY.

YOU HAVE TO THROW A LITTLE
BIT MORE STANK JUICE ON IT.

ALL RIGHT, AND FIVE,
SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, AND.

YOU GOTTA BE--
SO I KNOW MY MARKS.

BUT YOU DOIN' A LOT OF
HOP SCO-- YOU DOIN'--

I'M DOIN' THE SAME
THING YOU DOIN'.

YOU KNOW, I JUST THINK
THAT TAMAR WANTS EVERYBODY

JUST TO BE HER.

BUT EVERYBODY
CAN'T BE TAMAR.

EVERYBODY DON'T
WANNA DO--

NO, EVERYBODY DON'T
WANNA DO THAT.

I KNOW I DON'T.

ROCK WITH IT-- FIVE--
ROCK WITH IT.

BUT DO YOU LOOK LIKE
ME IN THE MIRROR?

IF YOU THE CHOREOGRAPHER,
YOU HAVE TO BE IN FRONT

OF ME TO
SHOW ME.

TRACI, DON'T.

I'M TELLIN' YOU
THE TRUTH-- I MEAN--

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN!

YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT
TOO-- WHAT'S THE WORD?

OKAY, I DON'T
HAVE A WAISTLINE.

I GOTTA MAKE
EVERYTHING LOOK BIGGER.

THAT'S NOT MY FAULT EITHER--
BUT I'M JUST SAYIN'.

TAMAR-- OOH, I NEVER
ASKED YOU THAT, TAMAR!

I NEVER ASK YOU THAT!
- BUT YOU JUST SAID IT!

I SAID I HAVE TO
MAKE SOMETHING--

I MAKE IT LOOK BIGGER.
- YEAH, BUT THAT'S NOT MY FAULT.

TAMAR, KEEP GOIN'--
KEEP GOIN'.

- OKAY, FIVE--
- KEEP GOIN'-- KEEP GOIN'!

I AM-- YOU KNOW, FOR SOME
REASON, WHEN I GIVE ADVICE

OR, YOU KNOW, LESSONS,
IT'S TAKEN, YOU KNOW,

LIKE I'M TRYIN' TO
TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.

ALTHOUGH I'M TRYIN' TO
TELL YOU WHAT TO DO,

IT'S FOR YOUR
OWN GOOD.

I CAME HERE TO
TEACH MY SISTER

HOW TO DO MY
SISTER'S SHOW,

AND I GETS
NO RESPECT.

- YOU'RE NOT TEACHING RIGHT.
- TAMAR'S DOING A FAVOR.

YOU'RE NOT
TEACHING RIGHT.

YOU MAD AT ME
'CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT THE
YOU'RE DOIN'!

THAT'S NOT MY FAULT!
- YOU GOT THE-- WAIT, WAIT!

EXCUSE ME-- I'M SORRY--
I'M-- JUST FOR A MINUTE.

GET ALL THE FEELINGS
OUT OF THE EQUATION

AND LET'S THINK
ABOUT TONI'S SHOW.

THIS IS FOR TONI.
- RIGHT.

YES, BUT SHE DIDN'T ASK
ME TO COME HELP HER

IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT.

TAMAR, JUST SHOW
TRACI THE MOVE.

WELL, Y'ALL
DON'T NEED ME.

TAMAR, SHE HAS TO
LEARN IT SLOWLY.

SHE CAN-SHE CAN
LEARN IT FROM Y'ALL,

'CAUSE SHE DOESN'T
WANNA LEARN FROM ME.

YOU HAVE
A GREAT DAY.

ALL RIGHT-- BYE!

TONI WANTED AN UPDATE ON HOW
TRACI WAS DOING IN REHEARSAL.

SO, TAMAR AND I
DROP BY HER HOUSE,

BUT WE DIDN'T WANNA
SCARE HER WITH HOW MUCH

OF A DISASTER
IT WAS.

HOW WAS REHEARSAL?

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE TONI
NEED TO KNOW ALL THE LOGISTICS

BECAUSE SHE HAS TO
CONCENTRATE ON HER SHOW.

YEAH, THAT'S TRUE, BECAUSE
IT MAKES HER MORE NERVOUS-- YES.

THAT'S NOT REALLY FAIR--
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY

ABOUT WHAT'S GOIN'
ON BEHIND YOU--

- BECAUSE IT'S ALL REFLECTIVE.
- IT IS.

BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
THE FACT OF IT IS,

IS THAT IF I ASKED
HER TO DO IT,

I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT SHE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RUN IN

AND JUMP IN
AND DO IT,

BUT SHE WILL SEE AND
FEEL IT FOR HERSELF.

TRACI'S VERY FRAGILE,
AND I KNOW SHE'S WANTED

TO DO THE BACKGROUND SINGING
THING FOR A LONG TIME.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, IF
TAMAR'S GONNA TEACH HER,

SHE HAS TO UNDERSTAND
PATIENCE IS THE KEY.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO
BEAT HER UP SO MUCH.

I WANT YOU TO
BE PATIENT.

WHY EVERYBODY THINK
THAT'S WHAT I DO?

'CAUSE IT IS.

I'M SORRY, I'M THE ONE-- CAN
I JUST BE REAL, REAL QUICK?

I'M THE ONE WHO FEEL
LIKE THE PERSON

WHO GETS BEAT UP ALL THE TIME.
- YOU SHOULDN'T.

I GET CHECKED
EVERY FIVE MINUTES.

"YOU NEED TO TAKE-- TAMAR,
IF YOU DON'T NOBODY TALKIN'

"TO YOU LIKE THIS, THAT,
AND THE OTHER, YOU NEED

"TO DA, DA,
DA, DA, DA."

I GET BEAT UP
ALL THE TIME.

AND THE MINUTE I SAY
SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY--

YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT
THAT'S YOUR MOUTH.

THEY TOLD YOU THAT SINCE YOU
WERE 16 YEARS OLD, YOUR MOUTH.

THAT'S INDIGENOUS--
THAT'S WHO YOU ARE.

BUT I CAN TAKE THAT AS
ME GETTING BEAT UP.

EVERY FIVE MINUTES, SOMEBODY
TELLIN' ME ABOUT MY MOUTH.

WELL, THEN STOP USIN'
YOUR MOUTH LIKE THAT.

I MEAN, WHY IS EVERYBODY
BABYING TRACI?

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.

YOU HAVE TO LEARN
DICTATORSHIP

AND DIRECTION
FROM SOMEBODY.

AND NOW EVERYBODY
JUMPIN' DOWN MY THROAT

FOR TRYIN'
TO HELP HER?

MMM-MMM-- I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN
KNOW WHAT'S UP WITH THAT.

YOU KNOW HOW TRACI BE
FEELIN' LIKE I ATTACK HER?

I FEEL LIKE WHEN I'M TRYIN'
TO HELP HER AND TEACH HER,

I FEEL ATTACKED.

IT'S YOUR DELIVERY--
ALL DAY.

WELL, IT'S NOT EVEN JUST MY
DELIVERY, BUT-BUT, YOU KNOW,

I CAN'T GET MAD AT
THE CHOREOGRAPHER

BECAUSE THEY TELL ME
I DO A STEP WRONG.

'CAUSE IF YOU TELLIN'
SOMEBODY, "NO, THAT'S WRONG.

"NO, THAT'S WRONG-- NO, THAT'S
WRONG. NO, THAT'S WRONG.

"NO, THAT'S WRONG--
NO, THAT'S WRONG."

BUT IT BE WRONG.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS, YES,
THAT MIGHT BE TRUE,

TO A CERTAIN DEGREE, BUT
ENCOURAGEMENT HELPS SOMEBODY

FEEL LIKE, "YES,
I CAN DO THIS."

BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE
CONSTANTLY HEARING,

"THAT'S NOT RIGHT-- THAT'S NOT
RIGHT-- THAT'S NOT RIGHT."

DANG, WELL, AND THEY
YOU GET FRUSTRATED,

AND THEN NOTHING WILL
EVER BE ACCOMPLISHED.

BUT YEAH, SHE'S SENSITIVE--
BUT TRINA'S RIGHT.

SHE NEEDS TO BE RECEPTIVE
TO WHAT SHE'S BEING TAUGHT, TOO,

BUT TRACI IS STILL STUCK IN
HER MOMENT 20 YEARS AGO.

I FEEL THIS'LL ALL
WORK ITSELF OUT.

I DO.

HOWEVER, I DO THINK TAMAR'S
THE WORST TEACHER IN LIFE.

SHE HAS HORRIBLE
PEOPLE SKILLS.

TRACI'S GONNA HAVE TO FIGURE
THIS OUT FOR HERSELF.

SHE'S GONNA RISE
TO THE OCCASION,

OR SHE'S GONNA BE
FORCED TO DROP OUT.

EITHER WAY, IT'S
HER DECISION.

SHE HAS TO REALIZE
THIS FOR HERSELF.

WHEN SHE GETS OUT THERE AND
SHE SEES DURING THE SHOW,

SHE WILL SAY, "WOW,
I'M NOT PREPARED."

"WOW, WERE THEY
NOT PICKIN' ON ME."

- YEAH, SHE'LL GET IT.
- I UNDERSTAND.

SO LET HER FIG--
SHE'LL SEE IT.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE
THE OLDEST SISTER.

THAT'S WHY I'M
THE SMARTEST SISTER.

- YOU'RE THE SMARTEST?
- NO.

I THINK SHE WAS
TALKIN' ABOUT YOU.

I'M OUTTA HERE.

OKAY.

- I GOTTA DO MY HAIR.
- YES.

- YOU'RE SHOWIN' ME YOUR CRACK.
- HA, HA, HA.

CRACK KILLS.

I THINK TRACI
CAN DO IT.

- ALL RIGHT, PEOPLE.
- DO THE WHOLE SHOW?

YOU DON'T THINK SHE
CAN DO THE WHOLE SHOW?

HELL, NO--
HELL, NO!

I

I GET

I GET IT

I GET IT FROM

I GET IT FROM MY

I GET IT FROM MY MAMA.

I GET IT--
- NO, FROM DAD.

DADDY HAS THAT.

NO, YOU GET THE DUMP
FROM YOUR FATHER.

- YES, WE DO.
- YES.

WHO'S FATHER DID WHAT?

TRACI GOT HER BIG
BUTT FROM HER DAD.

- GAVE TRACI HER DUMP.
- SHE DID.

- YEP.
- YOU DO HAVE A DADDY BOOTY.

TRACI GOT THE SUPER BAD.

I THINK WE ALL GOT
A LITTLE BABY LITTLE BOOTY.

- NO, I AIN'T GOT NO--
- NO, EXCEPT FOR TAMAR.

WAIT A MINUTE.

- WHAT!
- WHAT YOU MEAN?

BUT YOU JUST AGREED.

HOW YOU GONNA GET MAD?

TAMAR, HOW YOU GONNA
GET MAD AFTER YOU AGREE?

TRINA, YOUR SOCKS HAVE
COCKTAILS ON THEM!

YES, THEY DO!

SHE HAS TO TAKE A COCKTAIL
EVERYWHERE SHE GOES.

IT'S GOT MARTINIS AND...

MART-- TRINA,
THAT IS TOO CUTE!

RIGHT?
- LOOK, IT'S GOT A BLOODY MARY.

NOW-NOW YOU GOT ME IN
THE MOOD FOR A COCKTAIL.

WHY DON'T YOU WHIP
US UP SOMETHING?

I DON'T FEEL LIKE
MAKIN' A COCKTAIL--

- ME, TOO.
- WELL, ACTUALLY, NO, I'M NOT.

WATCH

WATCH YOUR

- THIS IS A NICE PLACE.
- IT'S CUTE.

- YEAH.
- IT'S KINDA CUTE.

IT'S VERY, LIKE,
DISNEYLAND RESTAURANT.

- YEAH, A LITTLE.
- YEAH!

- IT REALLY IS.
- , RIGHT?

MOM CAME OUT TO L.A.
TO WATCH THE KIDS

BEFORE I LEFT TO GO TO
THE CONCERT IN INDIANAPOLIS.

SO, WE FIGURED,
HEY, WE'RE ALL HERE.

WE SHOULD GO OUT AND GET
SOMETHING TO EAT REALLY QUICK.

MOMMY, HAS DOC BEEN
TO MARYLAND YET?

UH...

NO.

WELL, DID YOU
JUST MEET HIM,

OR DID YOU MEET HIM
A LONG TIME AGO?

I JUST MET DOC, WHAT,
THREE MONTHS AGO?

OKAY, THAT'S WHY
I WAS CONFUSED.

OH, WELL.

I-I DECIDED TO GIVE HIM
A LITTLE BREAK, ANYWAY.

YOU AND DOC BROKE UP--
YOU JUST STARTED DATING.

NO, NO, NO, I DIDN'T
BREAK-BREAK UP.

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

I JUST DECIDED--
WE JUST DECIDED

TO GIVE EACH OTHER
A BREAK FOR A MINUTE.

I THINK DOC IS A TERRIFIC
MAN, A WONDERFUL MAN,

BUT IT'S CLEAR
TO ME THAT, UM,

HE WANT TO BECOME SERIOUS,
VERY SERIOUS,

AND I'M NOT READY
FOR THAT RIGHT NOW.

UM, I
ALREADY, UM,

WAS ON THE LOCKDOWN
FOR 30 YEARS,

AND I REALLY DON'T
WANT THAT RIGHT NOW.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE
BREAK-- HE WAS MOVIN' TOO FAST?

HE WAS TRYIN' TO KISS
YOU IN YOUR MOUTH?

DOES HE USE
THE TONGUE?

THE FRENCH KISS?

DID HE TRY TO
USE THE TONGUE?

DO YOU KISS HIM
WITH YOUR MOUTH?

WHAT-WHAT ELSE AM I
GONNA KISS HIM WITH?

BUT WHAT I'M SAYIN'
IS, IS IT LIKE THIS?

NO-- THERE'S
A DIFFERENCE.

- I MEAN, NO, NO, NO--
- LIKE, PLACE YOUR LIPS.

IS IT LIKE THIS--

WHAT ELSE AM I GOING
TO KISS HIM WITH?

NO, NO, WHAT I'M SAYING IS--
MOMMY, IS IT LIKE THIS?

OR IS IT
LIKE THIS?

EW-- TRINA!

- THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.
- TAMAR.

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE!

BUT MOMMY, HE WAS
SPEAKING IN TONGUES?

- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
- "SPEAKING IN TONGUES"?

I SAID, WAS HE "USING THE
TONGUE, SPEAKING IN TONGUES."

HE'S INTO TONGUES?

- I SAID, "USING THE TONGUE!"
- OOH!

WHAT TRACI
TALKIN' ABOUT?

I JUST SAID
"USING THE TONGUE."

MY GIRLS REALLY
NEED TO GROW UP

AND TAKE THEIR MINDS
OUT OF THE GUTTER.

EVERYTHING IS NOT SEX.

EVERYBODY NEEDS A BREAK.
- THREE MONTHS?

YEAH, EVERYBODY
NEEDS A BREAK.

WELL, YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO TAKE A BREAK.

YOU-YOU HAVE TO SEE--
- NOT THREE MONTHS IN.

A BREAK IS A BREAK UP.
- YEAH.

FROM WHAT?

WELL, YOU-YOU
JUST TAKE A BREAK

TO SEE IF THIS THE DIRECTION
YOU WANT TO GO.

MOMMY, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY
NO IDEA HOW TO DATE, DO YOU?

NONE.

WELL, I HAVE EVERY
IDEA HOW TO DATE.

I'M JUST DOIN' IT WHAT WORKS
FOR ME, HOW 'BOUT THAT?

HERE'S THE THING, I
THINK MOMMY IS AFRAID

BECAUSE SHE LIKES HIM MORE
THAN SHE ANTICIPATED.

THEN WHY YOU
AIN'T WITH HIM?

BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT
I WANNA DO RIGHT NOW!

- EXACTLY.
- HOW 'BOUT THAT?

- ALLS I'M SAYIN'--
- THREE MONTHS IS NOT A BREAK.

THAT'S-THAT'S STILL
THE HONEYMOON STAGE.

LET ME TELL YA LIFE,
SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW.

NOT THAT I AIN'T LIVIN'
IT, BUT GO AHEAD.

YEAH, NO, NO, YOU'RE
NOT-- NOT REALLY.

LET ME TELL YOU
ABOUT LIFE.

FIRST TIME IN
A RELATIONSHIP,

YOU MARRY FOR LOVE,

BECAUSE YOU'RE YOUNG,

YOU'RE INEXPERIENCED.

BUT BY THE TIME
YOU GET MY AGE,

YOU MARRY FOR
OTHER REASONS.

WHICH IS?

YOU JUST, UM, DON'T
WANNA BE BY YOURSELF.

YOU DON'T WANNA GROW
OLD BY YOURSELF.

MMM-HMM.

AND JUST IN CASE
YOU GET SICK,

YOU GOT SOMEBODY
THERE WITH YOU.

IT'S A DIFFERENCE,
THE MINDSET IS TOT--

BUT MOMMY, HE'S A DOCTOR AND
THE MAN, SO WHAT-WHAT PART OF--

WAIT A MINUTE, I DON'T
CARE IF HE A DOCTOR

AND-AND
WHATEVER ELSE.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

IT'S A DIFFERENCE
WITH THE MINDSET

OF A MATURE WOMAN,

AND I AM THAT.

SO, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY--
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

WELL, I'M
SAYIN' THIS...

I'LL JUST TAKE
MY CHANCES,

BECAUSE THIS IS
WHAT I WANT TO DO.

THIS IS WHY, NORMALLY,
I DO NOT ALLOW MY GIRLS

IN MY PERSONAL LIFE.

HOPEFULLY, THEY
WILL GROW UP...

MAYBE.

WELL, SOMEBODY TOLD ME
THAT IF YOU PUT A CONDOM

ON YOUR HEART, THAT IF
SOMEBODY SCREW WITH IT,

YOU'LL BE PROTECTED.

I'M SORRY--
I CAN'T TAKE IT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE JUST LANDED
IN INDIANAPOLIS

FOR TONI'S CONCERT.

THIS IS TRACI'S FIRST
TIME PERFORMING

IN A REALLY
LONG TIME.

SO, WE'RE ALL JUST
A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.

SO, TOWANDA AND TRINA'S
TRYIN' TO HELP ME OUT,

STILL PRACTICING
BEFORE WE GO ON STAGE,

AND I'M NERVOUS
AS HEN PISS.

BUT I'M LIKE, "OKAY,
I'M GONNA GET THIS."

I'M GONNA LOOK REAL CUTE--
RIGHT.

I'M GONNA DO MY HOOD
STUFF UP ON THAT ONE.

LIKE THAT?

BUT THAT FEELS
AW-AWKWARD.

IT'S-IT'S REAL
FAST LIKE THAT.

MMM, MMM, MMM,
MMM, MMM.

I HAVE TO ADMIT, I'M
REALLY, REALLY NERVOUS

ABOUT TRACI PERFORMING.

SO, ME AND TRINA JUST GAVE
THAT LITTLE EYE THING,

LIKE, "LET'S GO OVER
THE MOVES WITH TRACI

"AND MAKE SURE SHE
HAS IT DOWN PAT,"

BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO
BE EMBARRASSED ON STAGE, OKAY?

ESPECIALLY TONI.

OH, I UP.

MOVE OVER.

WHOO-- TRACI READY TO
FIGHT SOMEBODY WITH IT.

GOOD GOD FROM ZION!
- YOU'RE ANGRY!

READY?

SHE MESSES UP A FEW TIMES
AND I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOD!

"TRACI CAN'T
DO THIS."

TRACI, I THINK
SHE'S NERVOUS.

YEAH.

TRACI HASN'T BEEN ON STAGE
IN PROBABLY 15 YEARS,

TWELVE YEARS MAYBE.

I THINK TRACI'S GONNA
BE OKAY, THOUGH, RIGHT?

- YEAH, TRACI'LL BE FINE.
- YEAH, I THINK SO, TOO.

TRACI IS A LITTLE
BEAT UP.

I CAN TELL HER CONFIDENCE
IS IN THE GUTTER.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE BUILD UP HER SELF-ESTEEM

AND MAKE HER FEEL
GREAT ABOUT HERSELF

AND LET HER KNOW THAT
SHE'S GONNA GET OUT THERE

AND SHE'S GONNA
DO A GREAT JOB.

TRAY, YOU DO HAVE
TO BE READY.

SO, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NERVOUS
OR IT'S NOT QUITE RIGHT,

PERSEVERANCE HAS TO
KICK IN A LITTLE BIT.

LET'S SAY WHITNEY HOUSTON SAID,
"OOH, THIS GIRL CAN SING.

"I HEARD YOU COULD SING--
LET ME HEAR YOU SING."

"I'M HOARSE-- UM, I CAN'T--
I'M NERVOUS."

SHE'S GONNA BE
LIKE, "OKAY, NEXT."

PEOPLE SAID I COULDN'T SING--
THEY SAY I SOUND LIKE A DUDE.

I'M ANDROGYNOUS.

I SOUND LIKE
A FEMALE ELVIS.

ALTHOUGH, R KELLY
DID SAY THAT, TOO.

BUT MY POINT
I'M SAYIN' IS,

I TOOK ELVIS AND TOOK
IT ON UP ON THE STAGE

AND DID MY THING AND DIDN'T
CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAID.

THEY SAID I WOULD
NEVER BE A SINGER.

THEY SAID I WILL ALWAYS
BE A BACKGROUND SINGER.

I WOULD NEVER BE
A LEAD SINGER.

SO, YOU CAN'T LET OTHER
PEOPLE'S OPINIONS STOP YOU.

TONI GAVE ME A LOT
OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

I'M GLAD I
DIDN'T LET TAMAR

STOP ME FROM
PERFORMING.

BA, BA,
BA, BA, BA!

HA!

OKAY, THAT
WAS GOOD.

SEE HOW YOU JUST MESSED
UP AND YOU WENT BACK

AND YOU CAME
INTO IT.

THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT-- DON'T
WORRY ABOUT THE BOO-BOOS.

UH-UH, 'CAUSE
THIS YOU.

YOU HERE--
YOU JUST WANNA DO THAT.

THAT'S ALL
YOU GONNA DO.

I THINK SHE'LL
BE GOOD.

YOU'LL BE GOOD.

I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT
TRACI WAS REALLY READY

TO PERFORM
WITH TONI.

I HAD MY FINGERS CROSSED FOR
GOD TO SEND DOWN THE DANCING

AND THE SINGING
SPIRIT INTO TRACI.

- I THINK TRACI CAN DO IT.
- DO THE WHOLE SHOW?

YOU DON'T THINK SHE
CAN DO THE WHOLE SHOW?

HELL, NO--
HELL, NO!

LISTEN, TONI--
BUT LISTEN--

I WILL TELL THE AUDIENCE
THAT MY SISTER, TRACI,

IS HELPING ME
OUT TODAY, GUYS,

AND SHE'S LEARNING
THE SHOW HERE WITH US.

- OKAY, BUT THIS--
- I THINK THEY'LL BE FORGIVING.

NO?

NO.

TRACI ABSOLUTELY
NEW NOTHING

ABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHY.

WHERE IS SHE?

I LOOKED AROUND AND TRACI
WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

SHE JUST DISAPPEARED.

SO,

SO, TONIGHT

SO, TONIGHT IS

SO, TONIGHT IS TONI'S

SO, TONIGHT IS TONI'S
BIG

SO, TONIGHT IS TONI'S
BIG CONCERT

SO, TONIGHT IS TONI'S
BIG CONCERT IN

SO, TONIGHT IS TONI'S
BIG CONCERT IN INDIANAPOLIS

AND I'M NERVOUS AS HELL.

YOU CAN'T--
YOU WANNA SEE THE CLOTHES?

TONI, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT HER BIG OL' BOOTY.

I THINK, LIKE, ONE
OF THESE DRESSES,

IF YOU CAN SEE,
LIKE THIS.

- OKAY.
- I THINK THAT.

OUR OUTFITS?

I THINK YOU CAN
WEAR THIS ONE TODAY.

OKAY.

I THINK ALL, Y'ALL, YOU
GIRLS, YOU AND TRINA,

SHOULD WEAR THESE,
LIKE, HOLD THEM OUT.

THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY CUTE.
- OKAY.

AND THEY GOT
THE CUTE LITTLE PANTY.

LET ME SHOW YOU
THE PANTIES.

HERE, TRACI, YOU
CAN TAKE THIS PANTY.

FIRST TRY THE--
- TRACI CAN'T FIT THAT

ON HER BIG OLD BUTT!

WHERE AM I GONNA PUT
MY ASS IN KAMBAGABUKABOO?

OKAY, HOLD IT UP.

- WHERE IS IT GOIN'?
- WHERE?

- WHERE!
- WH-WHERE!

WHERE'S IT GOIN'--
TRACI CAN'T FIT THAT.

- OKAY, MAYBE NOT.
- GIRL, STOP!

THAT WASN'T A PRETTY
SIGHT THERE.

I HAVE MUCH BOOTY, BIGGER
BOOTY THAN MY SISTERS.

I THINK THIS
ONE WOULD WORK.

I THINK-- HOLD
THIS-HOLD THIS ONE UP.

TRACI, PULL THEM OVER
YOUR PANTS REAL FAST.

- NO.
- I AIN'T DOIN' THAT.

I'M JUST SAYIN'--

SEE, I THINK THIS--
SEE, HOLD IT UP.

SO, WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR BOOTY,
THAT COMES UP.

- MMM-HMM.
- THAT'S CUTE.

THAT BOOTY HANGIN' OUT,
THAT AIN'T HOT ON STAGE.

SO, TRACI, HOW
THE PANTIES LOOK?

LET ME SEE.

- GIRL!
- GIRL, LOOKS LIKE, YOU KNOW.

GOOD THING I HAVE
BLACK UNDERWEAR.

LET ME SEE THE FRONT.

THAT BIG OLD BUTT
AND THEM BIG OLD LEGS.

IT WAS TIGHT.

I AM A DIFFERENT SIZE THAN
MY SISTERS AND EVERYTHING,

AND I DO EMBRACE MY SIZE,
'CAUSE I DO LOVE MY SIZE.

YOU THINK YOU
GONNA CHOKE UP?

NO.

YOU GONNA FORGET
SOME OF THE MOVES?

NO, I'M TOO EXCITED
TO FORGET 'EM.

BUT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET
EXCITED, YOU FORGET STUFF.

TOWANDA, DON'T
EGG HER ON.

I'M JUST ASKIN', SO
WE CAN GO OVER STUFF.

YOU KNOW, TOWANDA'S
BEING REALLY NEGATIVE,

AND IT IS
NOT HELPING!

NO, THAT'S WRONG.
- AM I DOIN' IT RIGHT?

- NO.
- I'M GIVING YOU ROOM, TOO.

I-I REALLY WANNA GO
IN THE ROOM AND SAY,

"TONI, TRACI JUST NOT DARN
READY-- SHE JUST NOT READY.

"SHE CAN'T
DO IT."

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ON
STAGE IN HOW LONG?

IN A LONG TIME.

I MEAN, I DONE
SOME CHURCH.

TRACI, SHE SAID, SHE SAID,
"I MEAN, I SING IN CHURCH."

THIS AIN'T NO
CHURCH, BABY.

I THINK A LITTLE PRAYER
RIGHT NOW WOULDN'T HURT.

TRACI NEEDS ALL
THE HELP SHE CAN GET.

- WELL, WE ABOUT TO START SOON.
- OOH!

YOU NERVOUS?

YES.

I'VE BEEN HOUNDING
TONI FOR YEARS,

AND IT'S MY TIME TO BE
ON STAGE, AND I'M SCARED.

I'M SHAKING.

I DON'T WANT TO BLOW THIS.
- OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL
DO REAL GOOD.

- WORK IT, BABY.
- ALL RIGHT, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANKS FOR COMIN' OUT.
- ALL RIGHT, HAVE A GOOD SHOW.

LOVE YOU ALL.
- LOVE YOU.

TRACI'S A LITTLE RUSTY--
SHE USED TO BE A DANCER.

I KNOW THAT WAS
A LONG TIME AGO,

BUT I THINK IT'S GONNA KICK
IN, AND SHE'LL BE FINE.

WHY YOU GOTTA LOOK
SO PITIFUL AND UPSET?

PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

FOR THE ONE, THE ONLY,
MISS TONI BRAXTON!

GET UP!

ARE YOU READY TO
HAVE A GOOD TIME?

ARE YOU READY
TO HAVE AN ORGY?

I JUST HAD TO MAKE SURE
YOU WERE LISTENIN'.

WOW, IT WAS,
LIKE, SURREAL.

I'M ABOUT TO BUST
OUT MY LITTLE SKIN.

WELL, GUYS, LET ME
INTRODUCE MY SISTERS.

THESE ARE MY SISTERS,
THE BRAXTON'S .

MY SISTER TRACI IS HELPING
US OUT TONIGHT, GUYS.

THIS IS HER FIRST
NIGHT WITH ME.

TRACI'S HAVING A LITTLE
PROBLEM WITH THE MOVES.

THERE WAS ONE SONG THAT
TRACI ABSOLUTELY KNEW NOTHING

ABOUT WITH
THE CHOREOGRAPHY.

SHE DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW THE SONG.

SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THE WORDS TO THE SONG.

WHERE'S TRACI--
DID SHE LEAVE THE STAGE?

I FELT REALLY BAD I COULDN'T
GET MY MOVE STRAIGHT.

I LOOKED LIKE
ON SHINGLES.

I BELIEVE I LET MY SISTERS
DOWN AND MYSELF DOWN.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
I BLEW MY ONE CHANCE.

TRACI LEFT THE STAGE!

WHERE IS SHE?

I LOOKED AROUND AND TRACI
WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

SHE JUST DISAPPEARED.

BUT I'M NOT GONNA LET
HER GIVE UP LIKE THAT.

I'M NOT GONNA DO IT-- I'M
GONNA CALL HER BACK OUT HERE.

SHE'S GONNA DO IT--
SHE CAN DO IT.

HI, TRACI.

I DID NOT
LEARN THAT SONG.

I WOULDN'T HAVE
GOTTEN BACK ON STAGE,

IF TONI WOULDN'T
HAVE CALLED ME.

I MEAN, SHE HAD SO
MUCH CONFIDENCE IN ME.

AND WHEN I START
PERFORMING AGAIN,

IT JUST CLICKED AND
I WAS ON IT.

GUYS, TRACI
PICKED THAT ONE.

GIVE TRACI A HAND--
SHE DID GOOD!

I THREW HER IN
HERE TODAY!

PERFORMING WITH TONI
AND SEEING THE REACTION

OF THE CROWD,

I WAS PROUD OF HER.

I WAS PROUD OF
MYSELF, TOO.

I HAVE TO TOOT
MY OWN HORN--

TOOT, TOOT,
TOOT, TOOT.

TRACI, YOU'RE NOT
A VIRGIN ANYMORE.

I'M NOT.

AND IT FELT WONDERFUL!

AND I WANNA
DO IT AGAIN!

OKAY, WHERE'S
TRACI AND THEM?

SHOULDN'T THEY COME
IN HERE WITH ME?

SHE GETS TO
RIDE WITH TONI?

WE DIDN'T GET TO
RIDE WITH TONI.

I THINK SOMEBODY'S GETTING
SPECIAL TREATMENT.

- I'LL SEE Y'ALL AT THE HOTEL.
- OKAY.

- SEE YOU AT THE HOTEL.
- OKAY, BYE.

- LET TRACI COME WITH ME.
- OKAY.

IT'S OKAY, THOUGH--
SHE DESERVES IT.

GOOD JOB!
