WE WANTED TO COME UP

THAT LIL' WAYNE, RIGHT
THERE, THAT'S IT.

WE'RE GONNA SELL
SOME RECORDS.

HA-HA!

THIS IS DADDY'S BOOK!

IT'S MY BOOK AND MY
FIRST BOOK SIGNING.

I DON'T KNOW IF
I'M GONNA BE HERE.

SERVE ME UP
SLOPPY SECONDS.

I DON'T EVER SL-- WHO
SERVES YOU UP SLOPPY SECONDS?

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE
STUCK WRITING A SONG?

I'M NOT SITTIN' HERE TO
WRITE NO SONG FOR YOU.

YOU CAN WRITE
YOUR OWN SONG.

NO, NOT FOR--
YOU DON'T DO THIS

TO NONE OF YOUR
OTHER ARTISTS!

TONI CALLED THIS FAMILY
MEETIN'-- WHERE WE MEETIN'?

WE ALL KNEW IT
WAS SOMETHIN'.

I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
OF YOUR ANNOUNCEMENTS.

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

TODAY, I'M GOING ON MY FIRST
RECORDING SESSION WITH HARVEY,

AND VINCE IS NOT
TOO HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

SO, I GOT TO KEEP
THAT ON THE D.L.

SO, HE CAN HEAR THE
FINISHED PRODUCT

'CAUSE IT'S GONNA
BE OFF THE CHISEL.

WHAT'S YOUR VIBE--
WHAT IS IT?

LIKE, HAPPY IN LOVE--
MAD AT THE WORLD?

I CAN PULL FROM
BOTH PLACES.

WE GOTTA
MAKE IT REAL.

WE GOTTA MAKE WHATEVER
WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT

SUPER AUTHENTIC.

OKAY, IT'S SO WHACK, THOUGH,
BECAUSE I LIKE THE STUFF

THAT I SAY, BUT I'M AFRAID
TO COME OUT AND SAY IT

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT NOBODY
TO BE LIKE, "THAT'S WHACK."

WHAT-- LYRICALLY?

YEAH, AND IT'S ALL
VINCENT'S FAULT.

HE WRECKED YA?

I HAVE DEVELOPED A
COMPLEX ABOUT, YOU KNOW,

SINGING IN FRONT
OF VINCE AND TONI,

AND SO, THEY KINDA MAKE
ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.

- SING SOMETHIN', RIGHT NOW.
- DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO.

NO, SERIOUSLY,
SING SOMETHIN'.

- WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SING?
- SING SOMETHIN' YOU WROTE.

I HAVEN'T WRITTEN
A SONG IN FOREVER.

THERE YOU GO--
EXACTLY, SO THERE YOU GO.

BUT, WHY HAVE I NOT WRITTEN
A SONG IN FOREVER, THOUGH?

THAT-- BECAUSE
THAT'S YOUR CHOICE.

I'M AFRAID TO
SING IN FRONT OF HIM

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO NOT BE GREAT,

BECAUSE IF I SING
IN FRONT OF HIM,

ESPECIALLY SOMETHING I MAKE
UP, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

LIKE, IF I'M WHACK
IN FRONT OF VINCE,

HE'S GONNA BE LIKE,
"I DON'T LIKE IT."

YOU'RE TOO HARD
ON YOURSELF.

WELL, NO, NOT ONLY
DID I COME IN THE DOOR

WITH LOW
SELF-ESTEEM,

I CAME IN THE DOOR
WITH NO SELF-ESTEEM,

AND THAT IS
THE DIFFERENCE.

WELL, YOU CAME
TO RIGHT PLACE,

'CAUSE WE'LL-WE'LL
GET YOU RIGHT.

IT DOES FEEL GOOD TO
FINALLY GET BACK TO ME.

I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN
LOST FOR A LONG TIME.

I MEAN, I RECORDED A
SOLO ALBUM IN 2000.

I WASN'T EXCITED ABOUT THE
SALES OF MY FIRST RECORD,

BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE "IF
YOU DON'T WANNA LOVE ME"

WAS A
BAD RECORD.

IT WAS A GREAT RECORD, BUT
I'M NOT IN THAT SPACE ANYMORE.

SO, I WANNA
PLAY YOU A TRACK

THAT I THINK COULD
POSSIBLY WORK FOR YOU.

OKAY--
I'M SO EXCITED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH MYSELF.

LIKE, I THINK I'M GONNA
CATCH THE HOLY GHOST

IN FIVE MINUTES.

IF THE TRACK SUCKS,
THEN YOU WON'T, SO--

OH, MY GOD.

I-I'M GONNA TELL
YOU SOMETHIN'.

I AM SO
GRATEFUL.

I DON'T THINK I'M NOT
GONNA LIKE ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT--
WELL, WE'LL HAVE FUN.

SO, LET'S PLAY, UM,
PLAY YOU THIS TRACK.

SO, WORKING WITH A PRODUCER
LIKE HARVEY, HE, LIKE,

PLAYS YOU A TRACK OR A
SONG, AND YOU DECIDE, LIKE,

THE KIND OF SOUND
THAT YOU WANNA GO WITH.

AND THEN, USUALLY,
IF IT'S A SONG,

YOU GET RIGHT
IN AND SING IT.

BUT, IF IT'S A TRACK,
AND YOU'RE A WRITER,

YOU WRITE
THE SONG,

AND THEN YOU GO TO
THE STUDIO AND RECORD.

NEXT, DREW.

THAT'S A LITTLE TOO
"JERSEY SHORE" FOR ME.

LIKE, YEAH--
YEAH!

I CAN'T--
I CAN'T.

I'M IN
A STUDIO.

I'M SO EXCITED
WORKIN' WITH HARVEY.

I'M LIKE WHOO-WHOO--
HARVEY!

THEN, HE PLAYS
THESE TRACKS.

BOOP--
THEY WERE BONK.

BOO!

WHO'S SINGIN' TO THAT?

SHE'S NOT--
NO.

WE'LL PLAY
THE NEXT ONE.

AND THAT WOULD
BE THE ONE!

SO, THEN, HARVEY STARTS
PLAYIN' THE TAMAR TRACKS,

AND TAMAR TRACKS
ARE THE HOT TRACKS.

I'M LISTENING LIKE, UH,
THIS SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT

LIKE LIL' WAYNE.

SHE CAN SING OVER
A LIL' WAYNE TRACK,

AND I'M LIKE
HELL, YEAH.

THIS IS WHAT I'M
TALKIN' ABOUT, WILLIS.

THAT'S IT,
RIGHT THERE.

I DON'T NEED TO
HEAR NOTHING ELSE.

- YOU LIKE THAT ONE?
- SHE'S THE ONE.

I'M TELLING YOU.

LIKE, YOU KNOW, I CAN BE
SO HOOD RAT AND NOT BE.

OKAY.

AND YOU KNOW VINCE
IS GONNA HATE ON IT

BECAUSE IT'S
GONNA BE HOOD RAT,

AND IT'S GONNA
BE HOT, AND HA!

WE'LL MAKE IT
SO HE CAN'T--

HE DOES NOT WANT
ME TO DROP IT,

AND I HAVE TO
DROP IT EVERY TIME.

HE'S GONNA BE HOT
AT YOU AND ME.

WHAT?

I'M GONNA TELL VINCE
THAT YOU MADE ME DO IT.

THAT'S WHAT
I'M GONNA DO.

HE WON'T HOLD
YOU RESPONSIBLE.

OKAY?

TRUST ME.
- WE'LL SEE.

- HERE WE'RE EATIN' TOGETHER.
- MOMMY.

- HEY, GUYS!
- HI.

I GOT A
SURPRISE FOR YOU.

YEAH-- WE LIKE
SURPRISES, HUH, BROOKIE?

CHECK IT OUT-- I'M
GLAD MY FAMILY IS HERE.

I CAN SHARE IT
WITH EVERYBODY.

LET-LET MA-- CAN
MOMMY OPEN IT?

I KNOW TOWANDA WANTS
ME TO GET A REAL JOB,

BUT I THINK I HAVE
SOMETHING THAT TOWANDA

REALLY, REALLY, REALLY IS
GONNA LIKE JUST AS MUCH.

- IT'S A BOOK.
- WOW-- IT IS A BOOK!

THIS IS
DADDY'S BOOK!

IT'S THE
FIRST PRINTING.

ANDRE SAID HE WOULD
WRITE A RELATIONSHIP BOOK,

AND HE DEFINITELY TOOK
MY CRITICISM TO HEART,

AND HE
FINISHED IT.

I HAD MY DOUBTS, BUT
HE DELIVERED FOR ONCE,

BUT LET'S
BE REAL.

HE SELF-PUBLISHED
HIS BOOK,

AND IT'S GONNA TAKE
A LONG TIME FOR HIM

TO BE ABLE TO TAKE
CARE OF ME AND HIS KIDS.

YOU'RE MY BIGGEST
INSPIRATION.

- WELL, THANKS, ANDRE.
- I LOVE YA.

UH, I GOT MY FIRST BOOK
SIGNING COMING UP.

GOOD.

AND I WANNA INVITE
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

OKAY.

SO, HOPEFULLY, EVERYBODY'LL
BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.

- WHEN IS IT?
- NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

OH.

WHY ARE YOU
LOOKING LIKE THAT?

'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M GONNA BE HERE.

AS USUAL-- OKAY.

WHAT DO YOU
MEAN, "AS USUAL?"

OKAY, WELL--

THAT'S NOT FAIR TO
SAY, "AS USUAL."

YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE
GONNA BE THERE FOR ME,

BUT YOU'LL BE THERE
FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.

IS THAT--
- NO.

NO-- I'M NOT
SAYING THAT.

I'M SAYING THE-THE-THE THING
THAT I HAVE TO DO IS,

YOU KNOW, IT'S ALREADY
BEEN SET A LONG TIME AGO.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE
GONNA DO THIS, THIS FAST.

OKAY, JUST-JUST SERVE--
WHO KNEW THIS?

JUST SERVE ME UP
SLOPPY SECONDS.

I DON'T EVER SL-- WHO SERVES
YOU UP SLOPPY SECONDS?

WELL, UH--

I'M NOT GONNA BE IN TOWN
BECAUSE TONI HAS CALLED

A VERY IMPORTANT
FAMILY MEETIN'.

I MEAN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
SHE HAS TO TELL MY SISTERS,

AND I'VE BEEN
SWORN TO SECRECY.

I CAN'T EVEN
TELL ANDRE.

SO, I KINDA FEEL
LIKE I'M THE BAD GUY.

- ALL RIGHT.
- THIS-- THAT'S-THAT.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS GET SO
UPSET WHEN I TALK ABOUT

STUFF THAT
I HAVE TO DO.

BECAUSE I KNOW IT HAS
TO DO WITH YOUR FAMILY.

HOW MANY FAMILIES
DO YOU HAVE?

TWO.

WHICH ONE COMES
FIRST IN YOUR LIFE?

MY KIDS.

AND THEN, WHERE
AM I IN THAT?

AM I-- DO I FIT SECOND,
THIRD, FOURTH, OR FIFTH?

UH-HUH-- YOU'RE
IN THE TOP FIVE.

OH-- WELL,
THANK YOU SO--

BUT, YOU SAID-BUT,
YOU SAID,

"FIRST, SECOND, THIRD,
FOURTH, OR FIFTH,"

SO, I JUST SAID YOU
WERE IN THE TOP FIVE.

OKAY-- SO, WE GOT
GOLD, SILVER, AND BRONZE,

AND I'M BRONZE,
RIGHT NOW.

IS THAT WHAT
YOU'RE SAYIN'?

AND NOBODY REMEMBERS
BRONZE-- JUST REMEMBER THAT.

THEY DO
REMEMBER BRONZE.

NOBODY REMEMBERS
BRONZE AND SILVER.

BUT, MY KIDS
SHOULD BE GOLD.

UH, YEAH, THEY SHOULD BE,
AND I AGREE WIT' YOU.

AND THEY ARE.

BUT, I THINK YOUR
FAMILY IS GOLD.

NO, THAT'S
NOT TRUE.

AND THEN, YOUR
KIDS ARE SILVER.

- THAT'S NOT TRUE.
- OKAY, THAT'S FINE.

- THAT'S NOT TRUE.
- OKAY.

WHEN YOUR FAMILY CALLS YOU,
ALL RIGHT, TOWANDA IS BOOM.

"I GOTTA GO."

BOOM-- "I GOTTA GO."

ANDRE HAS GOT
SOMETHING COMING UP.

UH, "I GOTTA
THINK ABOUT IT."

AND THIS IS THE BIGGEST
THING, RIGHT NOW,

FOR ME GOING IS MY BOOK
AND MY FIRST BOOK SIGNING,

SO TO HAVE YOU THERE WOULD
BE REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL.

DON'T YOU THINK
THAT WOULD BE

REALLY, REALLY
SPECIAL FOR ME?

- FOR YOU, YEAH.
- YES.

OH, "FOR YOU,"
BUT NOT FOR YOU.

UH, YOU JUST
SAID, "FOR YOU."

- OKAY, WELL--
- I-I DON'T--

OKAY-- I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU WANT ME TO DO, ANDRE.

YOU JUST SAID YOU WERE
A PART OF IT, RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU WANT ME TO DO.

OKAY, I'LL JUST
LET YOU TALK.

TONI IS IN A REALLY
STRESSFUL SITUATION,

RIGHT NOW, AND SHE NEEDS
ME, AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT,

ANDRE IS GIVING ME
THIS GUILT TRIP.

I JUST CAN'T
CATCH A BREAK.

GO AHEAD.
- THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I'M FINISHED--
LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
- WHAT YOU MEAN, "LET'S GO?"

WHERE YOU GOIN'?
- I'M GOING UPSTAIRS.

WATCH TV... WORK
ON SOME OTHER STUFF.

I'M REALLY PISSED
WITH TOWANDA,

AND I NEED TO
SHOW TOWANDA

THAT I'M TRYING TO DO
SOMETHING WITH MY CRAFT.

I'M NOT JUST AT HOME,
SITTING AROUND, DREAMING.

I'M ACTUALLY
OUT HERE DOING.

SHE DOESN'T
BELIEVE ME,

BUT I KNOW I CAN
SELL SOME BOOKS.

- OH, MAN, HEY.
- HELLO.

HOW YA DOIN'?

SO, AFTER HARVEY GOT
FINISHED PLAYIN' THEM LITTLE

"JERSEY SHORE" TRACKS, YOU
KNOW, HE PLAYED A TRACK

THAT I REALLY,
REALLY LIKED.

AND THEN, AFTER
I HEARD THE TRACK

THAT I WANTED TO WRITE TO,
HIS PARTNER, DAMON, CAME IN,

AND WE REALLY GOT
INTO THE MUSIC.

SO, WE WERE JUST GOING
THROUGH, UH, MUSIC FOR HER.

I WAS PLAYING HER KINDA
SOME DIFFERENT TRACK IDEAS.

BUT, NOW
YOU'RE HERE.

WE CAN SIT DOWN AND
WRITE IT WITH TAMAR.

OKAY, LET'S
DO THAT.

I THINK ONE THING THAT
WE'VE KINDA CONCENTRATED ON

IS JUST WRITING
GOOD SONGS.

THIS-THIS THING THAT
YOU PLAY ON THE PIANO

MIGHT INSPIRE YOU
TO WRITE SOMETHIN'.

IF YOU WANNA DO IT HERE,
YOU CAN WRITE IT HERE

AND MESS AROUND
WITH IT BY YOURSELF,

OR YOU CAN
TAKE IT HOME.

UM, I WON'T BE ABLE TO
WRITE IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS.

I'M DEFINITELY SHY TO WORK
ON MY MUSIC AROUND HARVEY

AND DAMON BECAUSE I'M
SENSITIVE ABOUT MY STUFF.

I'M SENSITIVE ABOUT
MY VOICE AND ABOUT MY WRITING.

AND, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS
WANTED TO COME OUT HOT,

YOU KNOW, AND I'M JUST,
LIKE, SO NERVOUS.

I HOPE I DO A GREAT JOB.

LIKE, "IF YOU DON'T WANNA
LOVE ME," GREAT SONG--

THANK GOD FOR IT, WHATEVER.
- RIGHT.

BUT, I DON'T WANNA
SING SONGS LIKE THAT.

I DIDN'T WANNA SING
SONGS LIKE THAT THEN.

NO, I HEAR-- I KNOW
WHAT YOU WANNA DO.

YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN?

YOU HAVE TO GO WIT'
YOUR PERSONALITY.

BEAT'S GOTTA BE BANGIN'.
- YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?

AND-AND THEN, THE REST
OF IT HAS GOTTA BE HOT.

YES-- THIS IS DEFINITELY

ALL THAT OLD SCHOOL BALLAD
STUFF THAT I WAS DOIN',

THE BRAXTONS AND BACK
IN THE DAY, UH-UH.

THAT AIN'T THE ONE.

THIS RIGHT HERE,
THAT IS TAMAR.

TAMAR IS BEING TAMAR--
SHE'S BEING HER.

BUT, YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO
DO A BALLAD ON YOUR RECORD.

YOU CAN SING.
- I CAN DO A, UH--

YOU CAN SING.

BUT-BUT, I'M NOT
THERE, YOU KNOW?

AND I DON'T WANNA
TAKE MY MIND THERE.

WHEN I THINK OF A
PROJECT, I THINK OF--

- THE WHOLE--
- THING.

OKAY,
I GET IT.

I-I-I MIGHT WRITE-- BE
WRITING FOR THE NEXT WEEK,

AND NO TELLING WHAT
I'M GONNA COME UP WITH,

AND I DON'T WANNA
BE LIKE, OH, WELL,

SHE DON'T WANNA
DO THAT ONE.

AND THEN- AND
THEN-THEN I GIVE--

AND THEN
I GIVE THE NEXT,

"UNBREAK MY HEART"
TO, YOU KNOW, WHOEVER.

- RIGHT.
- AND THEN, YOU'RE LIKE,

"WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE
ME THAT RECORD?"

"WELL, YOU JUST SAID YOU DIDN'T
WANT NO RECORD LIKE THAT."

OKAY--
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

DAMON DEFINITELY
DOES HAVE A POINT.

I SHOULD NOT
CLOSE MYSELF OFF

TO OTHER MUSICAL
POSSIBILITIES.

I CAN PLAY THE PIANO,
AND YOU'RE GORGEOUS.

DAMN IT-- WE'RE GONNA
SELL SOME RECORDS.

HA-HA!

AT THE END OF THIS,
I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE

THEY WROTE SONGS
SPECIFICALLY FOR ME.

- AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT.
- THAT'S WHERE I'M AT.

THIS IS THE
GREATEST NEWS EVER.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FACT
THAT DAMON IS GONNA SIT

AT THE KEYBOARD AND
CREATE A SONG JUST FOR ME.

THIS IS THE SITUATION I HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR FOREVER,

BUT WHY, VINCENT HERBERT,
DID YOU NOT DO THAT FOR ME?

SHE HAD TO GO
GET IT HERSELF.

BUT THEY GOTTA BE LIKE,
"Y'ALL SMELL ANYTHING?"

YEAH, WE--

IT GOT TO BE
STANK LIKE THAT.

YEAH-- LIKE,
"OH, MY GOD!

"IT'S JUST STUNKY--
LIKE, WHAT IS THAT?

"OH-- WHO
NEEDS DEODORANT?

"MY RECORD DOES."

THAT'S WHAT I WANT.
- STUPID.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,
LIKE, STANKNESS?

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON
FAMILY VALUES"...

TRINA, YOU NEED A
BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-

BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM--
AND IT WAS GOOD.

THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED.

WHEW-- GONNA
HAVE A CIGARETTE.

- HEY, DADDY-O.
- CHICO!

- YOU'RE FREE!
- I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU.

SO, DADDY'S HERE,
AND MY MOTHER'S HERE.

OKAY-- NOW, I'M FOR
REAL-FOR REAL WORRIED.

I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
OF YOUR ANNOUNCEMENTS.

TOWANDA

TOWANDA AND

TOWANDA AND I

TOWANDA AND I JUST

TOWANDA AND I JUST FLEW

TOWANDA AND I JUST FLEW IN

TOWANDA AND I JUST FLEW IN
ON

TOWANDA AND I JUST FLEW IN
ON THE

TOWANDA AND I JUST FLEW IN
ON THE RED-EYE

TOWANDA AND I JUST FLEW IN
ON THE RED-EYE FROM

TOWANDA AND I JUST FLEW IN
ON THE RED-EYE FROM ATLANTA

'CAUSE TONI CALLED
THIS FAMILY MEETING

AND INSISTED THAT
EVERYBODY COMES.

OOH.

ME, TOWANDA, TAMAR
DECIDE TO HAVE LUNCH TODAY

BEFORE THE MEETING WITH TONI,
AND I'M SUPER EXHAUSTED.

TRINA, WHAT IS
WRONG WIT' YOU?

- I DON'T LIKE IT HERE.
- TRINA, IT'S DELICIOUS.

IT'S LIKE REAL, REAL ITALIAN
FOOD, NOT CHEF-BOY-R-DEE.

THIS PLACE HERE, YOU
SAY, "MOZZARELLA,"

THEY SAY, "NO,
WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

"WE HAVE MOZZARELLA."
- IS THAT WHAT HAPPENS?

"WE DON'T HAVE THE
BUFFALO MOZZARELLA."

I SAID, "FINE, JUST
GIVE ME WHATEVER."

I'M GONNA HAVE
SEVERAL SEATS.

- HOW'S YOUR ALBUM COMING?
- SHE'S COMING ALONG.

WHAT KIND OF DIRECTION
ARE YOU TRYING TO GO INTO?

IT'S NOT BRITNEY POP,
WHAT YOU DOIN'.

YEAH, WHICH IS FABULOUS.

IT'S MORE LIKE,
YOU KNOW, HOOD-RAP HOP.

GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE
OF HOOD-RAP HOP.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK.

LIKE THAT.

WHO ARE YOU
WORKING WITH?

I'M STILL WORKING
WITH HARVEY, RIGHT NOW.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN I GO IN
WITH THEM, MY MUSIC IS SO--

I-I-I BELIEVE IS ON POINT,
BUT IT'S SO HOOD RAP FOR VINCE.

HE'S LIKE, "AND NO."
- MMM-HMM.

VINCENT IS
VINCENT THE HERBERT,

AND HE'S ALSO
MY HUSBAND.

SO, I DON'T WANT TO, LIKE,
OFFEND HIM IN ANY WAY

AND BE LIKE,
"YOU DON'T KNOW

"WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'
WHEN IT COMES TO ME."

BUT, YOU KNOW, AT THE
SAME TIME, OH, MY GOD,

IF VINCE HEARD A RECORD
THAT HARVEY AND I DID,

AND HE ABSOLUTELY
LOVED IT, LIKE,

I-I WOULD BE THE
HAPPIEST LITTLE PRINCESS

IN THE POND.

SO, I JUST FEEL LIKE EVERY
TIME I GO TO A PRODUCER'S,

I LOVE THEM TO PIECES, BUT
THEY'RE GONNA WANNA DO RECORDS

THAT VINCE WANTS ME TO DO
BECAUSE THEY'RE HIS FRIENDS.

ANYBODY THAT YOU WORK WITH
ARE FRIENDS WITH VINCE.

IT'S FINE THAT TAMAR
IS DOING HER ALBUM,

BUT TO BE TRUTHFUL AND
HONEST, I'M JET-LAGGED.

I'M TIRED.

I JUST WANNA KNOW THE REASON
THAT EVERYONE IS HERE

AND DROPPED EVERYTHING,
AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE

IT'S JUST SOME
KIND OF BIG SECRET.

TOWANDA, WHY DID TONI
CALL US ALL OUT HERE?

YOU HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL SHE TELLS YOU.

- WELL, THAT'S BOGUS.
- IT'S NOT BOGUS.

TOWANDA, BUT WHY ARE YOU
ALWAYS PRIVY TO INFORMATION,

AND THEN YOU DON'T EVEN
GIVE US A HEADS UP.

- LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN'.
- JUST GIVE US A BALLPARK.

- YES.
- OKAY.

YOU REALLY WANT ME TO
GIVE YOU A BALLPARK?

- YES.
- YES.

- CAMDEN YARDS.
- SUCH A LIFE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY
STARTING TO WORK ON MY NERVES

THAT TONI IS TELLING
TOWANDA EVERYTHING.

I JUST DON'T APPRECIATE
HEARING THINGS

AT THE SAME TIME
AS EVERYBODY ELSE.

SO, YOU'RE NOT
GONNA SAY NOTHIN'?

BUT, IT'S TOMORROW.

WHAT ABOUT-- FOR REAL,
JUST A HINT, TOWANDA?

IS SHE PREGNANT?

IS WHO--
IS TONI PREGNANT?

Y'ALL HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL SHE TELLS YOU.

I THINK SHE MIGHT
HAVE A LOVE ON TOP--

ONE OF HER RENDEZVOUS
WITH HER BABY DADDY.

YOU KNOW THAT
CAN HAPPEN.

TOWANDA IS NOT
GOING TO BUDGE.

SHE'S NOT
GONNA POP.

SHE'S NOT GONNA
TELL THE SECRET.

TOWANDA KNOWS EVERYTHING
ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE'S LIFE.

AND LET ME TELL
YA, RIGHT NOW,

TOWANDA IS
NOT THE PERSON

THAT YOU WANNA
DOUBLE-CROSS

BECAUSE SHE KNOWS TOO
MUCH ABOUT EVERYBODY.

SO, YOU'RE REALLY
NOT GONNA TELL US?

YOU REALLY GONNA
KEEP ASKIN'?

YES.

CAN YOU JUST GIVE US
A, YOU KNOW, A CATEGORY

OR SOMETHING.
- OKAY.

SHE DID NOT
WIN THE LOTTERY.

I'D LIKE TO
WIN THE LOTTERY.

MY NAME IS THE SECRET
SQUIRREL OF THE FAMILY,

AND IT'S BECAUSE
EVERYBODY CAN COME TO ME

AND CONFIDE IN ME
AND TELL ME THINGS

'CAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S NOT
GONNA COME BACK TO THEM.

AND, TAMAR,
IT'S UNFAIR.

AND, TRINA, IT'S UNFAIR
FOR YOU TO ASK ME QUESTIONS

WHEN YOU KNOW I'M
NOT GONNA TELL.

I DON'T CARE HOW
MUCH YOU NAG, TAMAR.

I'M NOT TELLING.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW
ANY GOSSIP ON TRACI?

YES, YOU DO--
DAMN!

TOWANDA, YOU CAN PUT OUT
YOUR OWN JUICY MAGAZINE,

"TOWANDA'S JUICE."

I THINK THAT WOULD NOT
BE AN APPROPRIATE NAME.

TRINA, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE
ALWAYS THINKING SEXUAL

DOES NOT MEAN EVERYBODY--
- I AM NOT.

NO, I AM NOT.
- I SAID, "TOWANDA'S JUICE."

JUICE MEANS GOSSIP,
ONLY YOU'RE THINKIN'...

PUDDIN' JUICE.

- RIGHT.
- PUDDING JUICE?

- I'M-I'M THINKING GOSSIP.
- PUDDING JUICE?

WOW.

TRINA, YOU NEED A
BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-

BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM,
AND IT WAS GOOD.

THAT'S WHAT
YOU NEED.

WHEW-- GONNA
HAVE A CIGARETTE.

- HI!
- TRAY!

I MISS YOU SO MUCH!
- I MISSED YOU, TOO.

- YOU LOOK GOOD.
- YOU LOOK GOOD, TOO.

THANK YOU.

WELL, TONI CALLED
THIS FAMILY MEETING

AND INSISTED
THAT WE ALL COME.

NOW, I'M VERY, VERY
HAPPY TO SEE MY SISTERS.

HOWEVER, EVERY TIME
TONI CALLS A MEETING,

SHE DROPS A BOMB ON US.

LAST TIME, SHE
WAS MOVING TO L.A.

WHAT'S UP THIS
TIME, TONI?

- LADIES, WE HAVE TAMAR.
- HEY.

HEY, TAMY-TAMY--
HEY, VINCE.

YES!

THIS BETTER BE GOOD
BECAUSE I TOOK TIME

OUT OF MY BUSY RECORDING
SCHEDULE TO COME HERE.

WHAT SHE GOT TO SAY?

INTRODUCING THE OTHER
CHROMOSOME WHO MADE US, DADDY!

- OH, THE OTHER HALF OF DNA!
- DADDY IN THE HOUSE.

- HEY, DADDY-O.
- CHICO.

YOU'RE FREE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU
IN SUCH A LONG TIME.

SO, DADDY'S HERE,
AND MY MOTHER IS HERE.

OKAY-- NOW, I'M FOR
REAL-FOR REAL WORRIED.

THE LAST TIME MY MAMA
AND DADDY GOT TOGETHER,

IT WAS A
COMPLETE EPIC FAIL.

- YOU'RE A LIAR!
- AND YOU'RE A DIRTY LIAR!

THIS IS ABOUT TO
GET REAL DEEP.

TONI CALLED THIS FAMILY--
WHERE WE MEETIN'?

- WHERE IS SHE?
- SHE'S COMING.

SHE WENT TO THE
RESTROOM-- SHE'S COMING.

IT'S GOOD THAT EVERYBODY
IS HERE, BUT IT'S A LITTLE

NERVE-WRACKING BECAUSE
I HAVE TO BE ALL COOL

UNTIL SHE BREAKS THE
NEWS TO EVERYONE.

MOMMY, WHAT'S
GOING ON?

YOU GOT A LOOK
ON YOUR FACE.

WELL, I'M JUST
STANDING HERE.

CHEESE KNIVES, TOWANDA,
ALL THE CHEESE KNIVES.

JUST PUT 'EM
ON THE SIDE.

HERE YOU GO.

YES, I DID CALL THIS FAMILY
MEETING, AND I HAVE BIG NEWS.

I'VE BEEN DEALING
WITH IT FOR, YOU KNOW,

A LITTLE WHILE NOW, AND ONLY
TOWANDA AND MY MOMMY KNOW,

SO I DIDN'T WANT EVERYONE
ELSE TO KNOW ABOUT IT

BECAUSE THEY WORRY--
WE DON'T WANT THAT.

BUT, IT'S TIME
EVERYONE FOUND OUT,

AND THEY DESERVE TO
FIND OUT IN PERSON.

OKAY, WHO WANTS WINE--
WHO WANTS WINE?

CANDLES.

THE WINE AND CHEESES OF
THE WORLD BY CANDLELIGHT.

SO, TONI BRINGS OUT
THE CHEESE, THE FRUIT,

THE CHAMPAGNE.

WE ALL KNEW IT
WAS SOMETHIN'.

SHE MADE US FLY ALL THE WAY
OUT HERE, WITH ALL THIS DRAMA.

THIS CHILD GONNA MAKE MY
NERVES SHOT TO SHINGLES.

SOMETHIN' IN THE
MILK AIN'T CLEAR.

I DON'T LIKE THE LOOK MY
MAMA GOT ON HER FACE.

LORD, I CAN'T HELP THE
LOOK THAT'S ON MY FACE.

MY EX-HUSBAND IS SITTING
ON ONE SIDE OF ME.

TONI IS GOING THROUGH HER
TRIALS AND HER TRIBULATIONS.

YES, I CAN KEEP A SECRET,
BUT I WANT HER TO HURRY UP

AND ANNOUNCE WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH HER.

SO, T., WHY DID YOU BRING
EVERYBODY HERE TODAY?

WHAT'S GOING ON--
WHY?

WITH THE CHEESE, AND THE
WINE, AND THE FRUIT?

BECAUSE CHEESE AND WINE IS--
IT'S SOOTHING TO THE SPIRIT,

AND THE BLOOD
LOVES RED WINE.

- WELL, I GOT--
- RIGHT?

WELL, I WAS BRINGING
EVERYONE TOGETHER

BECAUSE I HAVE
SURGERY TOMORROW.

COMING UP, ON
"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

EVERY TIME YOU HAVE AN
ANNOUNCEMENT, IT'S SOMETHIN'.

I TOLD YOU I
HAD A PROCEDURE.

REMEMBER, I SAID, TRINA,
"I HAVE A PROCEDURE."

IT'S HER STORY--
SHE HAS TO TELL IT, TRINA.

A PROCEDURE IS A PAP SMEAR--
PROCEDURE IS A BOOB JOB.

JUST SEEING MY POOR TONI
GO THROUGH EVERYTHING

THAT'S TOUGH, YOU KNOW.

WELL,

WELL, I

WELL, I WAS

WELL, I WAS BRINGING

WELL, I WAS BRINGING
EVERYONE

WELL, I WAS BRINGING
EVERYONE TOGETHER

BECAUSE I HAVE
SURGERY TOMORROW.

SO, I INVITED MY SISTERS
TO COME OVER TO TELL THEM

ABOUT MY
UPCOMING SURGERY,

AND THEY SEEM A LITTLE
MORE SCARED THAN I AM.

SO, I HAVE TO A
MYOMECTOMY TOMORROW--

- WHAT SURGERY?
- AND A PARTIAL HYSTERECTOMY.

A MYOMECTOMY IS ACTUALLY
A VERY COMMON PROCEDURE

FOR WOMEN OF ANY AGE.

IT'S A PROCEDURE WHERE THEY
REMOVE BENIGN TUMOR GROWTHS

FROM YOUR UTERUS, BUT BECAUSE
OF MY PRIOR LUPUS HISTORY,

IT MAY BE MORE EXTENSIVE,
A-A POSSIBLE HYSTERECTOMY.

DON'T BE SCARED, 'CAUSE
I DON'T WANNA BE SCARED.

- IT'S OKAY.
- I MEAN-- IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL.

RIGHT.

HAPPENS TO A LOT
OF WOMEN MY AGE.

THE LUPUS JUST
AGGRAVATES IS.

SO, THIS WHY DADDY HERE, AND
MOMMY AND DADDY ARE SKIPPIN'

AND JUMPIN' LIKE THEY'RE
COOL AND EVERYTHING?

SO, TONI DROPS A
BOMB, LIKE, YOU KNOW,

"I GOTTA HAVE
SURGERY TOMORROW,"

NOT IN A WEEK,
BUT TOMORROW.

MY HEART JUST SUNK INTO
THE BOTTOM OF MY LOUBOUTINS

'CAUSE I WAS LIKE, "OH,
MY GOODNESS, NOT AGAIN.

"I CAN'T GO THROUGH
THIS, AGAIN."

I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
OF YOUR ANNOUNCEMENTS.

EVERY TIME YOU HAVE
AN ANNOUNCEMENT,

IT'S SOMETHIN'.

I MEAN, I'M TOTALLY
SYMPATHETIC,

BUT TONI CONTINUES
TO DO THIS TO US.

I MEAN, LAST YEAR, SHE
DROPPED THE LUPUS BOMB ON US,

AND WE WERE
ALL SHOCKED.

HEY, YOU GUYS, I HAVE AN
ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE.

THE TRUTH IS THAT
I HAVE LUPUS.

I THINK SHE'S DOING THIS
TO GET A RISE OUT OF US.

I TOLD YOU I HAD
A PROCEDURE.

REMEMBER, I SAID, TRINA,
"I HAVE A PROCEDURE."

IT'S HER STORY--
SHE HAS TO TELL IT, TRINA.

A PROCEDURE IS A PAP SMEAR--
A PROCEDURE IS A BOOB JOB.

TONI GAVE US TWO WHAMMIES
IN LESS THAN A YEAR.

I MEAN, WHO--
WHERE THEY DO THAT AT?

TOWANDA, HOW COME
YOU KNOW SO MUCH?

I'VE SEEN TOWANDA EVERY DAY,
AND SHE DIDN'T SAY A WORD.

WOULD YOU BE MAD IF
I TOLD YOUR BUSINESS?

YES.

WOULD YOU BE MAD IF
I TOLD YOUR BUSINESS?

- YEAH.
- OKAY.

YOU KNOW THAT, IF YOU TELL
ME SOMETHIN' AND TELL ME

NOT TO SAY ANYTHING,
I'M NOT GONNA SAY IT,

AND THAT'S HOW
IT SHOULD BE TO ME.

I AM RELIEVED THAT I NO LONGER
HAVE TO KEEP THAT SECRET.

SO, I CAN NOW JUST CONCENTRATE
ON KEEPING TONI HEALTHY.

I THINK SHE'S A LITTLE MORE
SCARED THAN SHE LETS ON.

SO, HOW LONG-HOW
LONG ARE YOU OUT FOR?

ANYWHERE FROM
SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS.

SO, HOW DOES THIS
AFFECT YOU PERFORMING?

I WON'T BE ABLE TO
PERFORM FOR A SECOND.

- AGAIN.
- WOW!

- THIS IS-IS REALLY SERIOUS.
- YEAH, LIKE, UH, WAIT.

OKAY-- DON'T CRY.

DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY,
DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY.

IT WAS A TOUGH TIME THE FIRST
TIME TONI WAS IN THE HOSPITAL

FOR 11 DAYS, AND NOBODY
KNEW WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN,

AND, YOU KNOW,
I WAS STRESSED OUT.

I GOT ABOUT
FIVE GRAY HAIRS.

WELL, WHY EVERYTHING
ALWAYS GOTTA HAPPEN TO YOU?

IT'S JUST WHAT
THEY GOTTA DO.

I JUST WISH SOMETIMES
I CAN HAVE, LIKE,

SOMETHIN' FOR YOU.

JUST SEEING MY POOR TONI
GOING THROUGH EVERYTHING

THAT'S TOUGH,
YOU KNOW.

TAMAR, WHAT GOD HAS
FOR YOU, IS FOR YOU.

WHAT GOD HAS FOR
TONI, IS FOR HER.

THAT'S LIFE.

SO, ONLY THING THAT WE
CAN DO IS TO BE THERE

AND BE SUPPORTIVE, YOU
KNOW, AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH?

COME ON, TAMAR--
I'M GONNA BE FINE, REALLY.

I JUST WANT MY BABY
OLDER SISTER TO BE OKAY.

I'M GONNA BE FINE--
I'M-I'M GONNA BE GOOD.

AND WHEN YOU WAKE
UP FROM THE SURGERY,

WE'LL ALL BE THERE.

WE'LL ALL BE RIGHT THERE.

IT'S TIMES LIKE THIS THAT
I REALIZE HOW LUCKY I AM

TO HAVE MY
FAMILY AROUND.

IT'S A GREAT FEELING--
I FEEL SO BLESSED.

I'M JUST EAGER TO
GET THE SURGERY OVER

AND OUT OF THE WAY,

SO I CAN GET BACK TO
BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS.

CAN WE START BY SAYING
SOMETHING VERY POSITIVE

AND INSPIRATIONAL?
- I'M-I'M HAVING SURGERY.

I'LL BE HOME IN
A COUPLE DAYS.

DON'T SCARE ME.
- SHE WANTS TO SAY,

"WELL, LET'S SAY GOOD
THINGS ABOUT TONI."

WHAT?

MY NERVES ARE SHOT--
WHO DOES THAT?

AND THEY'RE MAKING ME NERVOUS
BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTING LIKE,

YOU KNOW, WELL, SUPPOSE
THIS HAPPENS, SUPPOSE THAT.

NO, LET'S JUST BE POSITIVE
AND SAY, "YOU-YOU'LL BE GREAT.

"YOU'LL BE FINE."

MY MOM AND DAD ARE
REALLY GOOD AT THAT.

DEAR LORD, WE BOW OUR HEADS
IN SUBMISSION TO YOU.

WE THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING US TOGETHER.

WE ASK YOUR BLESSINGS
TO BE UPON TONI

AS SHE GO
INTO SURGERY.

MOST OF ALL, GOD, WE PRAY FOR
THE TIME SHE'S CONVALESCING.

THROUGH ALL TIMES, WE
PRAY IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.
- AMEN!

NO, DADDY, WAIT.

I THOUGHT HE SAID
CONGA-- CONGA LESSONS.

I THOUGHT HE SAID,
"WE JUST WANNA THANK YOU

"FOR THE CONGA LESSONS."

I SAID, "WHAT?"

- CONVALESCING!
- SHE'S SAYING--

I'M GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO
LAUGH TOGETHER AS A FAMILY

BECAUSE TO BE
HONEST WITH YA,

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS
ABOUT TOMORROW.

SO, IT'S 4 O'CLOCK IN
THE MORNING, SURGERY DAY.

DADDY'S HERE--
MOMMY'S HERE.

MY ASSISTANT, ZO, IS HERE,
AND TOWANDA IS HERE.

SHE ALWAYS KNOWS WHEN
I TRULY NEED HER.

I NEED TO BE IN A CALM STATE
BEFORE I GO IN MY SURGERY.

JUST ME AND
KERI SHOULD GO.

OKAY.

I JUST WANNA BE
IN A CALM STATE.

AND MY EX-HUSBAND, KERI,
IS HERE TO SUPPORT ME.

HE IS STILL AND ALWAYS
WILL BE MY BEST FRIEND.

HE'S ALWAYS
THERE FOR ME.

IT'S REALLY TERRIFYING
GOING TO THE HOSPITAL,

BUT I'M SO BLESSED
TO HAVE KERI HERE

TO HOLD MY HAND AND
TOWANDA TO DRIVE.

THEY BOTH TAKE SUCH
GOOD CARE OF ME.

SEE YOU LATER.
- SEE YOU INSIDE.

SHE'S IN
THE BACK.

HOW DO
YOU FEEL?

A LITTLE ANXIOUS.

A LITTLE
BIT DIZZY.

GOTTA FIX
MY HAIR.

IMAGE IS EVERYTHING.

I THINK WHENEVER YOU HAVE
SURGERY, IT MAKES YOU THINK,

AND YOU DON'T WANNA
THINK THE WORST.

YOU WANNA THINK POSITIVE,
BUT SOMETIMES THOSE THOUGHTS

KINDA CREEP UP.

SO, WHENEVER I GO THERE, I
HAVE A LITTLE BIT ANXIETY.

YOU'RE NOT
NERVOUS, ARE YOU?

A LITTLE BIT...
A LITTLE NERVOUS.

YOU'RE
GONNA BE FINE.

SO, TONI'S SURGERY WAS
A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED,

BUT EVERYTHING'S FINE,
AND SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO

STAY IN THE HOSPITAL
JUST FOR A FEW MORE DAYS

JUST FOR OBSERVATION.

I'M SO HAPPY THAT TONI CAME
THROUGH HER SURGERY OKAY,

BUT I WON'T REST
UNTIL SHE COMES HOME,

AND I KNOW SHE'S SAFE.

COMING UP, ON
"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

MY PARENTS ARE GETTING
ALONG, BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE,

THEY CAN'T STAND
EACH OTHER.

WANT ME TO BRING
EVELYN TO YOUR HOUSE?

NO PROBLEM.

SHE AIN'T COMING
TO YOUR HOUSE.

YOU CAN'T BRING YOUR BABY
MAMA TO YOUR WIFE'S HOUSE!

WHAT

WHAT IS

WHAT IS THAT?

I'LL BE HAVING SOME
OF THAT FOR MY DRINK.

- WHAT?
- THE ABSINTH.

- LIQUID LSD, TRINA?
- THAT IS NOT LIQUID LSD.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
- LET ME SMELL IT, DAD.

- SMELL LIKE LICORICE.
- IT SMELLS LIKE POISON.

SO, I'M GONNA MAKE THE
DRINKS FOR YOU GIRLS.

YOU'RE SPILLING--
IT'S GREEN!

IT'S ALMOST LIKE FREON.
- AMMONIA OR SOMETHIN'.

HAVE YOU
HAD IT BEFORE?

I HAVE HAD IT IN A DRINK
BEFORE, AND IT'S GREAT--

WELL, SOMEBODY SAID YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO COOK IT LIKE DOPE.

THEY MAKE
FIREBALLS WITH IT.

YOU PUT IT ON A SPOON
AND DRINK IT LIKE DOPE.

YOU DON'T COOK IT
LIKE DOPE, TAMAR.

SOMEBODY
HAD TOLD ME.

NOW, YOU KNOW HOW
YOU COOK DOPE?

- SHUT UP, TAMAR.
- SHUT UP, TOWANDA.

STICK YOUR FINGER IN
THERE AND TASTE THIS.

NUH-UH--
THE DEVIL'S ALIVE.

TRACI--
LISTEN, TRACI.

YOU HAVE TO DO IT LIKE THIS.
- THERE'S NO PEER PRESSURE.

- TRACI, DO IT LIKE THIS.
- WE'RE THE BRAXTONS!

WE DON'T DRINK OUT
OF PLASTIC CUPS!

IT TASTES
GOOD, DON'T IT?

I DON'T FEEL
TOO VERY GOOD.

MY TONGUE PALETTE
IS DISTURBED.

- I BEG YOUR PARDON.
- I GOT HAIR ON MY CHEST, NOW.

- RIGHT.
- LET ME HAVE AN OUNCE.

- OH, MY GOD.
- IT'S TERRIBLE?

- I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
- I NEED TO WAX MY CHEST, NOW.

HI,

HI, OLIVIA.

- HI, OLIVIA.
- HI!

HOW ARE YOU?

BUT, I SAW
THE RED VELVET CAKE.

THAT LOOKED SO GOOD.
- MOM, CAN'T YOU MAKE THAT?

YEAH.

SO, WHEN TONI TOOK
A NAP AT THE HOSPITAL,

WE ALL DECIDED WE
WAS GONNA GO TO LUNCH.

AND, UH, WE NOTICED THAT MY
PARENTS WERE GETTING ALONG

LIKE THEY WERE
STILL MARRIED.

MICHAEL AND EVELYN, YOU GUYS
ARE REALLY GETTING ALONG GREAT.

THAT'S HOW WE'RE
LOOKING AT IT.

AND TOWANDA SAID
Y'ALL WERE MISSING.

Y'ALL SHOULD'VE
BEEN THERE.

Y'ALL WAS LIKE
HANSEL AND GRETEL.

BUT, THEY WERE
LIKE MOMMY SAID,

"WHO'S GOING DOWNSTAIRS
TO THE CAFETERIA WITH ME?"

DADDY, "I'LL
GO DOWNSTAIRS

"TO THE CAFETERIA
WITH YOU, EVELYN."

MISS E. SAID SHE WANTED
TO GO TO THE CAFETERIA,

AND I SAID, "HEY, I'LL JOIN
YOU DOWN IN THE CAFETERIA."

AND THE GIRLS THOUGHT WE WENT
OUT ON A DATE OR SOMETHIN'!

DID Y'ALL FEEL
WEIRD OR ANYTHING

BECAUSE YOUR MOTHER
AND I WERE TOGETHER?

- NOT WEIRD.
- I-I MEAN, WAS--

WHAT WAS
Y'ALL AFRAID OF?

WAS Y'ALL AFRAID OF ANYTHING?
- WE WAS AFRAID OF FIREWORKS.

MY FATHER CHEATED
ON MY MOTHER

WHILE HE WAS A
PASTOR IN A CHURCH.

SO, THEREFORE, MY MOM-- MY
PARENTS DIVORCE WAS REALLY HARD

ON HER BECAUSE SHE WAS
SO ANGRY WITH MY DAD.

YOU LAY IT LOW AND
SPREAD IT WIDE!

YOU DON'T
CARE WHO IT IS!

OKAY, I WANT IT
TO BE PEACEFUL.

AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE
INVITED YOU TO THE LUNCHEON

IN MARYLAND, THAT'S-- WE
WANTED THIS, SERENITY.

LAST YEAR, WHEN WE TRIED TO
GET MY MOTHER AND FATHER

TOGETHER FOR A
NICE FAMILY LUNCH,

MY FATHER DID
NOT SHOW UP.

WHAT DO YOU
THINK, DADDY?

SORRY--
HE'S NOT HERE.

WE CHARTERED A
PLANE AND FLEW HERE.

AND I DIDN'T COME ALL THIS
WAY NOT TO SEE MY DADDY.

THAT WAS COMPLETELY
DEVASTATING.

DADDY, WHY YOU THINK
WE WAS COMING TO TOWN?

TO SEE WHO?

YOU DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE I LIVED.

OKAY.

'CAUSE IF YOU REALLY
WANTED TO SEE ME--

WANT ME TO BRING
EVELYN TO YOUR HOUSE?

'CAUSE SHE WAS WITH US.
- I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT.

SHE AIN'T COMING
TO YOUR HOUSE.

YOU CAN'T BRING YOUR BABY
MAMA TO YOUR WIFE'S HOUSE!

WE AIN'T ALL THE
WAY THERE YET.

I MEAN, WE'RE GETTIN' CLOSER,
BUT WE AIN'T THERE YET.

MOMMY WOULD NEVER
GO TO MY DAD'S HOUSE

TO SEE MY DAD'S WIFE.

NO-- UH-UH.

NOT AN OPTION.

DADDY, WHAT ARE
YOU THINKIN'?

WELL, I CAN'T-CAN'T CHANGE
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST,

BUT I CERTAINLY CAN LOOK AT
MY PAST AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO

TO IMPROVE-TO
IMPROVE MY FUTURE.

ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK TAMAR WANTS OUR
WHOLE FAMILY UNIT BACK,

AND AS LONG AS MOMMY AND
DADDY ARE NOT MARRIED ANYMORE,

AND DADDY'S MARRIED TO SOMEBODY
ELSE, AND LET'S NOT FORGET

THE FACT THAT MOMMY NO
LONGER WANTS DADDY,

IT'LL NEVER, EVER, EVER COME
TO FRUITION, EVER AGAIN.

THE RELATIONSHIP
YOU AND YOUR DAD--

Y'ALL AND YOUR DAD IS BETWEEN
YOU GUYS AND YOUR DAD.

SIMPLE AS THAT.

I MAY NEVER SEE
YOUR DADDY, AGAIN, OKAY?

DON'T GET ALL EXCITED
BECAUSE YOUR DADDY AND I

COMMUNICATED TODAY.

MY SISTERS, THEY'RE,
LIKE, OVERLY EXCITED

BECAUSE MY PARENTS
ARE GETTING ALONG.

WON'T HAPPEN, CAPTAIN.

THEY CAN ACT ALL THEY WANT,
BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE

IN THEIR INSIDE PARTS, THEY
CAN'T STAND EACH OTHER.

IT IS JUST GOOD TO
HAVE A NICE FAMILY UNIT

AND TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR FATHER,

WHO ARE ALIVE IN THIS WORLD
TODAY, JUST TO BE THERE.

THAT'S ALL
WE'RE SAYING.

WANT ME TO SIT HERE?

OH.
- NOW, DON'T--

I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT
BOTH EVELYN AND I HAVE GROWN.

WHEN SOMETHING CHALLENGING
COMES UP IN THE FAMILY,

WE GOTTA PUT OUR DIFFERENCES
ASIDE JUST TO LET

OUR CHILDREN KNOW THAT
WE'RE SUPPORTERS OF THEM.

IT GIVES THEM STRENGTH.
- AND GO HOME.

- HERE'S TO TONI.
- HERE'S TO TONI.

- HERE'S TO TONI.
- TO SUCCESS.

AND HERE'S SUCCESS AND
HEALING ALL THE WAY AROUND.

AND THANKS FOR
ALL THE GOOD STUFF.

- ALL THE WAY.
- A DOUBLE SHOT OF HEALING.

- A DOUBLE SHOT.
- DOUBLE SHOT.

- CHEERS.
- HEAR-HEAR.

CHEERS.

TONI'S SURGERY
WAS A SUCCESS,

AND MY FAMILY
IS SO RELIEVED.

SO, ZO AND I ARE GOING
BACK TO THE HOUSE

TO GET EVERYTHING IN ORDER,
AND HE'S REALLY BEEN HELPFUL,

WHICH IS LESS STRESS FOR ME
BECAUSE LET ME TELL YOU--

BETWEEN TONI'S SURGERY
AND ME NOT BEING ABLE

TO SEE MY KIDS,
MY NERVES ARE SHOT.

DID YOU GET ALL
THE FLOWERS?

I JUST GOT A TEXT
FROM ANDRE STATING

THAT HE HAS A
BOOK SIGNING.

BUT, I'M HERE IN L.A. TO
SUPPORT TONI AND HER SURGERY,

SO I DON'T KNOW
IF I CAN GO.

HI, PRETTY GIRL.

HI.

HI, PRETTY.

THE SURGERY WENT
REALLY WELL.

THE DOCTOR IT'S AN
EXTREMELY COMMON PROCEDURE,

AND HE TOLD ME THAT ONE
IN THREE WOMEN HAVE IT

IN THEIR LIFETIME,

SO IT'S LIKELY THAT
ONE OF MY SISTERS

COULD POSSIBLY GO
THROUGH THE SAME THING.

I AM SO GLAD
TO BE HOME.

I FEEL REALLY, REALLY
GRATEFUL THAT I HAVE THE LOVE

AND SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY
TO GET ME THROUGH THIS.

- WHERE ARE THE KIDS AT?
- THEY'RE COMING.

- OKAY.
- ONE SECOND.

NOW, THIS IS
THE HARD PART.

THE KIDS WILL BE HERE ANY
MINUTE, AND I HAVE TO GO

AND BE BRAVE AND STRONG
AND ACT LIKE MOMMY'S NOT

IN ANY PAIN, SO THEY'LL KNOW
EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

- HEY, DENIM.
- HI, MOMMY.

COME--
COME-- LOOK AT ME.

COME HERE-COME HERE--
GIVE ME A HUGGY.

I MISSED YA.

WHERE'S THE DOG--
WHERE'S BENTLEY?

- BENTLEY IS DOWNSTAIRS.
- GO GET D.Z. FOR MOMMY.

I MISSED YOU GUYS--
GO GET HIM FOR ME.

- DIEZEL!
- HI, D.Z.

WHAT'S UP-- WATCH
OUT FOR MOMMY TUMMY.

OKAY.

I MISSED YOU.

- I MISSED YOU, TOO.
- WHAT'D YOU DO THE WEEKEND?

AH.

MOMMY TUMMY--
MOMMY TUMMY.

MMM.

MOMMY HAS TO GET HEALED, AND
I NEED YOU TO BE MY DOCTOR

THIS WEEKEND--
YOU WANNA TAKE CARE OF ME?

YEAH.

GONNA TAKE CARE OF
MOMMY THIS WEEKEND.

DENIM, YOU WANNA BE MY DOCTOR
AND TAKE CARE OF MOMMY TUMMY?

YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL--
DON'T LAY ON MY TUMMY.

AND DON'T LET MOMMY
LIFT ANYTHING, OKAY?

OKAY.

DIEZEL, WILL YOU
DO ME A FAVOR?

WILL YOU GO GET
ME SOME WATER?

- I'LL DO IT.
- DENIM'S GONNA DO IT?

OKAY-- AND, DIEZEL, WILL
YOU GO GET MY SLIPPERS?

AND LET'S SEE...
WHAT ELSE DOES MOMMY NEED?

A POP-SICLE!

THANK YOU, DR. DIEZEL.

IT WAS REALLY GREAT BEING
IN MY BED, SEEING MY KIDS.

IT WAS REALLY GOOD--
I MISS MY KIDS A LOT.

I HATE BEING AWAY FROM THEM
FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.

POP-SICLE?

POP-SICLE.

IS THIS MY FAVORITE
OR YOUR FAVORITE?

- IT'S NOT MY FAVORITE.
- IT'S NOT YOUR FAVORITE?

OKAY--
IT'S MY FAVORITE.

IS YOUR FINGERS CLEAN?
- YES.

- YES, THEY ARE.
- THERE YOU GO.

THANKS, DENIM.

PUT IT RIGHT THERE FOR
MOMMY, AND THE WATER.

DENIM, DID YOU
WASH YOUR HANDS?

- YES.
- LET ME SMELL 'EM.

COME HERE.

THEY SMELL LIKE BENTLEY--
THEY SMELL LIKE THE DOG.

GO WASH YOUR HANDS.
- AGAIN?

WASH YOUR HANDS-- YOU
DIDN'T WASH 'EM AT ALL.

I CAN SMELL
BENTLEY-- EW!

AND HURRY BACK!

OH, IT'S GOOD.

TONI IS IN A REALLY GOOD
MOOD, AND THE KIDS ARE BEING

SO SWEET AND HELPFUL,
AND KERI IS JUST TAKING

SUCH GOOD CARE OF HER.

THINGS ARE REALLY GOING
SMOOTH... ALMOST TOO WELL.

TOWANDA!

THE DOCTORS TOLD ME THAT
I NEED TO TAKE IT EASY

AND GET PLENTY
OF BED REST,

SO I'M JUST GONNA
LAY IN THE BED,

WATCH MOVIES
WITH MY KIDS.

I WANT EVERYTHING TO
BE CALM AND PEACEFUL.

SO, I'M GONNA TELL
MY EXTENDED FAMILY

TO GO HOME FOR A BIT.

I KNOW TOWANDA FEELS
RESPONSIBLE FOR ME,

BUT SHE'S NOT MY
ASSISTANT ANYMORE.

SHE'S MY SISTER, AND
SHE HAS HER OWN FAMILY.

I JUST WANNA GO
GET SOME SLEEP.

COMING UP, ON
"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE
STUCK WRITING A SONG?

I'M NOT SITTING HERE TO
WRITE NO SONG FOR YOU.

YOU CAN WRITE YOUR OWN SONG.
- NO, NOT FOR--

YOU DON'T DO THIS TO NONE
OF YOUR OTHER ARTISTS!

WELL, MAYBE THAT'S NOT
THE SONG FOR YOU THEN.

THANKS,

THANKS, GUYS,

THANKS, GUYS, FOR

THANKS, GUYS, FOR COMING.

YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
ABOUT THE WHOLE WALK OUT

OF THE STREET THING.

I TOLD YOU.

ANDRE HAS TAKEN THE INITIATIVE
AND GOT HIMSELF INVITED

TO A BIG MEDIA FAIR
TO PROMOTE HIS BOOK.

I AIN'T GONNA LIE.

HE TOOK IT UP A NOTCH, AND
I'M-I'M-I'M A LITTLE IMPRESSED.

WHAT'S YOUR BOOK HERE?

"69 WAYS"-- LET'S
TALK ABOUT "69 WAYS."

YEAH-- BASICALLY,
IT'S A RELATIONSHIP BOOK.

THE MIXER THAT I ATTENDED
IN, UH, IN ATLANTA

WAS FOR A GROUP CALLED
THE "A-T-L-C-E-O MIXER GROUP."

UM, IT REALLY WAS MORE OF A
ENTERTAINMENT MIXER TYPE THING.

YOU CAN MAKE
SOME GREAT CONTACTS.

MY WIFE TOLD ME, "LOOK,
THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

"TO MAKE THIS
RELATIONSHIP BETTER."

BASICALLY, IT'S TALKING
ABOUT 69 DIFFERENT THINGS

THAT WILL HELP
YOUR RELATIONSHIP

DEVELOP MORE HEALTHY, MORE
EMOTIONALLY GRATIFYING.

THAT'S ALL.

WALKING IN, SEEING THE
WHOLE CITY SUPPORTING ANDRE,

I MEAN, I WAS
PROUD OF HIM.

I WAS REALLY
PROUD OF HIM

BECAUSE HE'S REALLY
PUSHING HIS ENVELOPE.

- HEY!
- HEY!

HEY, BRO--
HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING?

THE FACT THAT TOWANDA AND
TRINA ARE HERE TO SUPPORT ME

AT THIS BOOK SIGNING, SEEING
THAT THEY JUST FLEW IN

FROM L.A., IS REALLY,
REALLY INCREDIBLE,

AND I REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY LOVE THAT SUPPORT

FROM THE BRAXTON FAMILY.

WE FEEL HONORED THAT YOU
HAVE ANDRE, MY HUSBAND, HERE.

YEAH.

SHOWCASING HIS BOOK,
AT THIS TIME.

SO, WE ARE REALLY, REALLY
HONORED TO BE HERE.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

ANDRE CARTER-- ANDRE.

HEY, NICE TO MEET YOU--
ANDRE CARTER.

HI--
NICE TO MEET YOU.

ANDRE'S TAKING PICTURE
AND SHAKING HANDS.

HE'S A CELEBRITY, NOW,
HONEY-- YOU HEAR ME?

"69 WAYS TO BECOME A
CELEBRITY" SHOULD BE THE NAME

OF YOUR BOOK, BOOM-BOOM.

IT IS MY PLEASURE
TO INTRODUCE,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
MR. ANDRE CARTER.

- WOW!
- IT'S CALLED "69 WAYS."

NOW, PEOPLE SAY, "WELL,
HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH

"THESE 69 TOPICS?"

WELL, YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON IN THE SHOW

WITH ME AND MY WIFE.

YES, WE ARE SEPARATED.

BUT, I BEGGED HER
AND BEGGED HER.

I SAID, "LOOK, TOWANDA.

"CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I NEED
TO DO TO BETTER MYSELF?"

AND WHAT SHE
DID WAS SAID,

"OKAY, YOU NEED TO DO
THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS."

SHE DAMN NEAR
CAME UP WITH 69.

SHE CAME UP TO 33.

I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT
THE DYNAMICS OF RELATIONSHIPS

FROM BEING MARRIED
TO TOWANDA,

FROM WATCHING HER SISTERS
AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS.

IT'S MADE ME
100 TIMES WISER.

NOW, ALL I WANNA
DO, IS MAKE SURE

THAT I BRING THIS
ACROSS IN MY BOOK.

I SAID, "HONEY, TELL
ME WHAT I NEED TO DO

"TO MAKE THIS
RELATIONSHIP BETTER."

THIS "69 WAYS"
BOOK, I ENJOYED IT.

THERE WERE CERTAIN
PASSAGES THAT I ASKED HIM,

WHAT DID HE
THINK WAS ABOUT ME?

AND IT WAS, LIKE,
FORGIVENESS

AND BEING RECEPTIVE
TO PEOPLE'S FORGIVENESS,

AND I WAS LIKE, "OH."

I JUST WANNA TELL YOU
THAT I'M VERY, VERY,

VERY PROUD OF YOU--
GIVE ME A KISS.

THANK YOU.

IS ANDRE SHOWING
INITIATIVE?

YES.

WILL ANDRE BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY

AND TAKE CARE OF HIS
KIDS AND PAY BILLS?

NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.

HI, BOO-- STILL ON
YOUR CONFERENCE CALL?

- NO.
- GOOD.

THAT MEANS I CAN TALK TO
YOU, AND YOU CAN HELP ME.

TONI'S OUT OF THE HOSPITAL,
AND I JUST FEEL LIKE

I NEED TO GET BACK INTO
THE SWING OF THINGS.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO WORK ON MY RECORD

AND, YOU KNOW, I NEED
SOME TYPE OF ADVICE.

LIKE, I NEED SOME
HELP FOR REAL.

WHAT'S UP?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN
YOU'RE STUCK WRITING A SONG?

LIKE, I KNOW YOU'RE,
LIKE, VINCENT THE HERBERT,

NOW, BUT YOU USED
TO BE VINCENT HERBERT

THE SONGWRITER AND PRODUCER--
I'M JUST SAYING.

YOU JUST GO AWAY FROM
IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE,

AND THEN YOU
COME BACK TO IT.

YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT IF YOU
REALLY NEED TO FINISH IT?

YOU'RE GONNA KEEP
BLOCKING YOURSELF.

YOU SHOULD GO BACK IN THE
STUDIO AND TRY TO WORK ON IT

A LITTLE MORE THEN, BUT
DON'T EVER GET STUCK

ON A SONG WHERE
YOU'RE JUST, LIKE,

CONSTANTLY
FORCING YOURSELF,

OR IT'S GONNA BE
THE SAME OUTCOME.

IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.

YOU GOTTA TAKE YOUR
TIME AND GET IT RIGHT.

- THAT DIDN'T HELP.
- I'M JUST SAYING--

'CAUSE I NEED TO SING
THE SONG, LIKE, TOMORROW

AND, LIKE, IT
HAS TO BE DONE.

YOU ASKED ME FOR YOUR
ADVICE-- I TOLD YOU, BABE.

I KNOW, BUT, YOU KNOW, I HATE
BEING, LIKE, NOT PREPARED.

LIKE, THAT'S NOT
THE BUSINESS.

TAKE YOUR TIME
AND GET IT RIGHT.

YOU'RE NOT IN A RUSH
TO DO-- MESS UP.

BUT, THAT'S WHAT I'M
TRYING TO TELL YOU, BOO.

I DID THAT.

WELL, MAYBE THAT'S NOT
THE SONG FOR YOU THEN.

VINCE IS ACTING LIKE THIS
IS NOT EVEN IMPORTANT.

I MEAN, I WANTED TO
WRITE MY OWN SONGS.

I MEAN, I HAVE TO BE ME,
AND ANYTHING LESS THAN,

YOU KNOW, WHO I AM AND
MY ENERGY AND WHO I--

MY-- NOBODY WANTS
TO HEAR THAT.

I DON'T EVEN
WANNA HEAR THAT.

I AIN'T DOING IT.

I THINK IT NEEDS
TO BE MORE ME

BECAUSE THE SONG
IS ABOUT YOU,

AND I'M TALKING ABOUT, YOU
KNOW, HOW YOU BE KISSING ME

ON THE MOUTH WHEN
NOBODY'S AROUND?

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
- OH, OKAY.

YOU KNOW, I WANNA
SOUND LIKE, YOU KNOW,

I'M HEAD OVER HEELS
IN HIGH SCHOOL,

BUT I DON'T WANT
IT TO SOUND LIKE

IT'S COMING FROM
A 17-YEAR-OLD.

I WANT IT TO COME FROM, LIKE,
YOU KNOW, A GROWN PERSON,

BUT YOU HAVE
THOSE FEELINGS.

I JUST TOLD YOU
WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.

YOU JUST GOTTA WAIT
TILL IT'S RIGHT.

YOU PUTTING THE
SONG OUT TOMORROW?

- COULD BE-- MAYBE.
- OKAY, WELL--

YOU NEVER KNOW HOW
THE LORD IS GONNA BLESS.

- WELL, IF THAT'S--
- I DON'T THINK--

I AM NOT BLOCKING
MY OPPORTUNITIES.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S
YOUR FIRST SINGLE.

WHY?

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
THE LORD IS GONNA BLESS.

COULD BE SOMETHIN' ELSE.

DON'T WANNA BLOCK
YOUR OPPORTUNITIES.

DRRR.
- OPPORTUN-A-TIE.

SO, YOU WANNA GET
STUCK ON A SONG?

THAT'S NOT THE ANSWER.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES,
I NEED ENCOURAGEMENT.

LIKE, "YEAH, THAT'S HOT.

HOWEVER, YOU CAN, YOU
KNOW, YOU CAN COME UP WITH

SOMETHIN' BETTER
THAN THAT, BOO."

DO-DO-DO-DO.

LIKE, WE-- LIKE I DO HIM
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST--

I DON'T GET IT.

YOU GOT WRITER'S
BLOCK, MAYBE.

- I THINK I DO.
- OKAY.

SOMETIMES, I GET
WRITER'S BLOCK, TOO.

IT JUST HAPPENS
TO PEOPLE.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT, IF I
SING THE PART THAT I HAVE,

AND THEN YOU FILL
IN THE BLANK.

THAT'S A LITTLE GAME WE USED
TO PLAY WITH MY SISTERS.

I DON'T WANNA DO
THAT NO MORE, BABE.

GO IN THE STUDIO, AND
YOU'LL PROBABLY FEEL IT,

AND YOU'LL GET IT RIGHT--
YOU'LL KNOCK IT OUT.

SO, THAT'S WHAT YOU
TELL YOUR ARTISTS?

- YEAH.
- NO, YOU DON'T.

YES, I DO.

I'M NOT SITTIN' HERE TO
WRITE NO SONG FOR YOU.

YOU CAN WRITE YOUR OWN SONG.
- NO, NOT FOR ME.

I JUST WANNA KNOW--
- WELL, WHAT--

SO, WHAT YOU-
WHAT YOU WANT?

- I JUST WANNA KNOW WHERE--
- SING THE PART.

SING IT, TAMAR.

THE NEXT PART, WHERE
SHOULD I GO WITH IT?

SING-SING-SING IT THEN--
SING IT.

FOR REAL--
OKAY.

AHEM.

I'M GIVING UP
MY LITTLE BLACK BOOKLET

YOU GOT THE KEYS TO
MY HEART SO LOCK IT

I'M TIRED OF PLAYING GAMES
AND BABY I'M A-CHANGING

I JUST WANNA BE THE
RIGHT GIRL FOR YOU

- THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
- WELL, WHAT COMES--

I HAVE NO IDEA,
BUT I LOVE IT.

IT SOUNDS GREAT--
IT'S A GOOD JOB.

THAT IS NOT
WHAT I ASKED.

SEE, I-I-I GAVE
YOU MY-MY ADVICE,

AND NOW I'M
GOING INSIDE.

WELL, YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES,

SOMEBODY JUST NEED
A PAT ON THE BACK.

SO, IF I GO TO VINCE ABOUT,
UH, WELL, YOU KNOW,

"I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW
TO APPROACH THIS SONG,"

DA-DA-DA-DA-DA,

AND HE'S LIKE, "YOU NEED TO
FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF,"

LIKE, YOU KNOW,
A PARENT OR SOMETHIN'.

"YOU NEED TO-- I CAN'T
GIVE YOU THE ANSWERS.

"YOU GOT TO
KNOW YOURSELF."

YOU COMING IN, OR ARE
YOU GONNA SIT OUTSIDE

AND JUST LOOK
AT THE MOON?

I'M GONNA SIT OUTSIDE
AND LOOK AT THE MOON

AND GET INSPIRED.
- OKAY, COOL.

MAYBE IF I ASK
THE MOON SOMETHIN',

THE MOON'LL SAY
SOMETHIN' BACK TO ME.

YOU DON'T DO THIS TO NONE
OF YOUR OTHER ARTISTS!
