"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES..."

I AM GOING TO OPEN UP
A RETAIL STORE.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU
GUYS WOULD LIKE TO BE PARTNERS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK TAMAR'S
GONNA WANNA PUT IN THE STORE?

EVERYTHING SHE PUT IN
THERE IS GONNA BE HOT,

SO IT DON'T
EVEN MATTER.

THERE'S BEEN A CLIQUE
THAT'S BEEN FORMED,

AND I'M NOT
INVOLVED IN IT.

A CLIQUE?

WHAT'S UP?

- DON'T-DON'T TEST ME.
- YOU ALL RIGHT?

- DON'T TEST ME.
- WAIT A MINUTE.

WAIT A MINUTE, TRACI.

THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH
BASHING ONE PERSON CAN TAKE.

IF YOU WANNA MOVE ON,
THIS IS WHAT YOU DO.

"I'M SO SORRY."

THAT'S HOW
YOU MOVE ON!

THE THING THAT MATTERS FOR ME
IS, Y'ALL CAN GET TOGETHER.

I'M TOGETHER.

I'M FINE-- I'M GOOD.

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 LOVE THIS PLACE.

ME, TOO.

CAN'T WAIT TO EAT.

CAN'T WAIT TO EAT.
- MOMMY, SIT HERE-- SIT BY ME.

I'M GONNA PUT MY PURSE
IN THE PURSE CHAIR.

- THAT'S WHAT I DID.
- YOUR BIG SISTER.

- THANKS.
- IT'S SO WEIRDO.

IT'S COLD HERE IN L.A.
- I KNOW.

THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT
MY LITTLE SWEATER.

THAT'S WHY I HAVE
MY FUR SWEATER, AS TONI--

- IT IS KINDA FURRY.
- THIS IS NOT A FUR SWEATER.

THIS IS A SPRING SWEATER--
IT'S A NICE COLOR.

I'M NOT LISTENING
TO TONI BRAXTON.

- IT'S A PRETTY COLOR.
- I KNOW IT'S A NICE COLOR.

TODAY, THE WHOLE FAMILY
IS TOGETHER IN L.A.

BECAUSE MOM AND DAD WANNA
MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL UNITED

AS A FAMILY, AGAIN.

AND THIS TIME,
WE HAVE TRACI,

AND WE HAVE OUR WONDERFUL
BROTHER, MICHAEL JUNIOR,

AND IT'S ALWAYS GREAT
AND A SPECIAL OCCASION

WHEN OUR BROTHER IS
IN TOWN WITH US IN L.A.

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST
TIME WE'VE ALL SAT DOWN.

I KNOW--
ISN'T IT NICE?

EVERY LAST ONE OF
US SAT DOWN AND HAD--

AND-AND SAT DOWN, AND EVELYN
AND MICHAEL, CLAP-CLAP.

YES!

- EVELYN AND MICHAEL...
- YES!

...AS FRIENDS!

LOOK AT GOD WANNA DO IT.
- YES, HE WILL.

- HE DID THAT.
- WELL, YOU KNOW WHY?

THAT'S THE POWER OF
FORGIVENESS, ISN'T IT?

YES.

- WHAT?
- WHAT?

IF MY EX-HUSBAND,
MICHAEL BRAXTON,

AND I CAN MAKE PEACE,
ANYONE CAN MAKE PEACE.

TRUST ME.

I THINK THE MESSAGE,
THE HIDDEN MESSAGE,

IS FOR TRACI
AND TAMAR TODAY.

YOU GOTTA FORGIVE
AND KEEP IT GOING.

IT WOULD MAKE ME
FEEL A LOT BETTER,

IF Y'ALL GOT ALONG
A LOT BETTER.

WHY DOES THINGS
STILL SEEM SO TENSE?

I'M FINE.

- YOU THINK THINGS ARE TENSE?
- IT JUST SEEMED--

- BUT, I-- WHAT'S THE TENSION?
- I JUST FEEL IT.

DON'T YOU FEEL IT-- IS IT--
OKAY, AM I-- I'M PSYCHIC, RIGHT?

DON'T YOU FEEL IT?

IT'S NOT THE USUAL FUN
THAT WE ARE USED TO HAVING.

THERE'S NO LAUGHING--
THERE'S NO GEEKY.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS TENSE,
YOU KNOW, FEELINGS

THAT EVERYBODY
WAS TALKIN' ABOUT,

'CAUSE I REALLY HAVE
PAID IT TO THE DUST

AND CHARGED IT
TO THE GAME.

I JUST THINK THAT
WHEN YOU HAVE FAMILY,

YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK TO THAT,
THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY CARE.

AND WHEN YOU SPEND
TIME TOGETHER,

THERE'S PEOPLE WHO
REALLY KNOW YOU

AND REALLY WANNA SEE
YOU HAPPY IN LIFE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WANT
US TO END THE FAMILY FEUD,

OF THE FEUD OF
TAMAR AND I.

I'M-I'M WILLING
TO DO THAT.

SO, TONI, WHAT DO
YOU SUGGEST WE DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT
WE-WE USED TO DO

WHEN-WHEN WE GOT
TOGETHER LIKE THIS?

NO.

WE USED TO GO AROUND
THE TABLE AND TALK ABOUT

WHAT WE ARE MOST
THANKFUL FOR.

- THAT WAS ON THANKSGIVING.
- ON THANKSGIVING!

- I SAY--
- WE WON'T-WE WON'T BE TOGETHER

ON THANKSGIVING NO MORE.

EVERYBODY'S GOTTA BE
TOGETHER .

LET'S PRETEND--
LET'S PRETEND.

WHY DON'T WE-WHY DON'T
WE DO THAT TONIGHT?

WELL, IT'S NOTHIN'
WRONG WITH DOIN' IT NOW.

OKAY, YOU GO FIRST.

UH, I'M GLAD THAT I
HAVE WONDERFUL SISTERS

AND A MOTHER AND FATHER,
AND I'M GLAD I'M NOT A GIRL.

I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT.

AND HE'LL
DRINK TO THAT.

WELL-WELL, YOU KNOW,
SEE, HE HAD HIS OWN ROOM.

NO, HE-- GIRLS GOT A BUNCH
OF DRAMA AND SHENANIGANS.

- YOUR GIRLS DO HAVE DRAMA.
- IS THAT WHAT IT IS?

AIN'T NOBODY
GOT TIME FOR THAT.

NO, BUT THAT'S PART
OF BEING A GIRL.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES US SO--
- FABULOUS.

FABULOUS-- WHY GUYS
WANNA GET WITH US.

I'M THANKFUL FOR MY BROTHER,
THAT HE NAMED ME "TOWANDA."

SHE HATES HER NAME.

TOWANDA HATES HER NAME.

I HAVE AN EXTREMELY
ETHNIC NAME.

I JUST WISH THAT
MY NAME WAS "TORI."

TORI!

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T
KNOW WHO'S COMIN'.

TOWANDA!

YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO'S COMIN'.

FIRST OF ALL, I'M GONNA
START BY LETTING YOU GUYS KNOW,

I DON'T LIKE
THE NAME "TRINA."

IT'S BETTER THAN "TOWANDA."

I'VE ALWAYS-I HAVE ALWAYS
HATED THAT MY NAME WAS "TRINA."

IT'S BETTER THAN "TOWANDA."

WHAT YOU WANT
YOUR NAME TO BE, TRINA?

- "LATRINA."
- "LATRINE."

"LATRINE" THE TOILET.

I KNOW THAT I'VE
SAID THAT PREVIOUSLY.

SHE WANTED HER NAME TO BE,
LIKE, "TIFFANY" OR "TAYLOR."

WAIT-- WAIT-- HOLD ON--
HOLD ON-- IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

TRINA, WHAT WOULD YOU
LIKE FOR YOUR NAME TO BE?

"TORRANCE."

OKAY, SO YOU WANNA
BE CALLED "TORRANCE."

TORRANCE.

FIRST, SHE STARTED
BEING THIS CANADIAN CHICK.

AND NOW, SHE'S LIKE THIS
SUPER-WHITE, VALLEY GIRL.

YOU KNOW, I--
WH-WHO'S THE REAL TRINA?

CAN YOU PLEASE STAND UP--
LIKE, SERIOUSLY NOW.

HERE'S TO FAMILY.

- FAMILY.
- CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK.

- THE BRAXTON FAMILY.
- CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK.

WE DID THAT.

CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-
CLINK-CLINK-CLINK.

OOH!

HOW YOU GONNA BEAT ME--
REALLY?

- HI!
- HEY, LADIES!

- HEY, TALL MAN.
- WHAT'S CRACK-A-LACKIN'?

LOOK-LOOK AT YOU GUYS--
LOOKIN' ALL BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU.

I THINK HE SAID,
"WHAT'S CRACK-A-LACKIN'?

"LOOK AT YOU GUYS--
LOOKIN' ALL BEAUTIFUL."

I GOT THAT!

WELCOME BACK
TO THE CONGO HOUSE.

THANK YOU.

NO, AIN'T GOING
TO NO CONGO TODAY.

- ARE YOU READY?
- WE'RE BACK AT THE CONGO.

I LIKE THE PINK.

WE DIDN'T DO
THIS ON PURPOSE.

NO, WE DIDN'T.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW THIS HAPPENED.

- WE DON'T.
- IS THAT RIGHT?

FOR REAL--
IT'S A TRUE STORY-- TRUE STORY.

TODAY, I'M WORKING OUT
WITH SERGEANT TCHICAYA.

AND TAMAR CAME ALONG
FOR SOME MORAL SUPPORT.

TRACI, YOU'RE
GONNA BE FIRST.

YOU'RE GONNA LAY DOWN
HERE ON MY BED.

ON YOUR BED-- I DON'T LAY DOWN
ON NO OTHER MAN BED.

I NEED TO BE IN TIP TOP
SHAPE BECAUSE I WAS ASKED

TO PARTICIPATE IN A CHARITY
WALK FOR FOUNDATION

FOR WOMEN'S CANCER.

I'M GONNA STRETCH
YOUR HAMSTRINGS.

ALL RIGHT?
- MMM-HMM.

REMEMBER, STRETCHING
IS ALL ABOUT RELAXATION.

JUST RELAX.

OOH!
- OKAY.

- GIRL, NOT GONNA LIKE THIS.
- JUST BREATHE, BABY.

TEN SECONDS,
NINE, EIGHT...

I'M REALLY TRYING TO SPEND
AS MUCH TIME AS I CAN WITH TRACI

BECAUSE WE ARE REALLY TRYING
TO PATCH UP OUR RELATIONSHIP,

AND THIS IS
A GOOD TIME TO

BECAUSE THIS AFRICAN WORKOUT
DUDE IS A HOT ASS MESS.

THAT'S IT, BABY.

SERGEANT TCHICAYA, IS YOUR
WIFE GIVING YOU SOME HEY-HEY

AND HUH-HUH?

'CAUSE ALL YOUR THINGS,
SO FAR, HAS BEEN SEXUAL.

HERE WE GO!

ALL RIGHT, LADIES-- SHUT
YOUR HOLE, AND LET'S GET NASTY.

LET'S GO-- THIS IS THE BIGGEST
BABY YOU HAVE IN THE HOUSE,

AND I LIKE IT
BLACK AND HOT.

YOU'RE GONNA BE HOLDING IT

YOU KNOW, YOU LIKE ME

AND YOU FALL

ALL RIGHT-- I'M
GONNA SIT DOWN HERE.

GIVE ME YOUR HANDS.

YOUR GOAL WILL BE
TO STAND UP.

AND STAND UP--

OH, YEAH, BABY--

THERE SURE IS A LOT GOING ON
IN THE WAIST AREA, THOUGH.

ONE MORE-- ONE MORE--
ONE MORE FOR .

NOW, ONE MORE
FOR TAMAR.

WHO'S TAMA?

HE SAID, "TAMA."

- THAT'S IT, RIGHT?
- NO, IT'S TAMAR.

ALL RIGHT-- ONE.

- OKAY, DO IT, AGAIN.

WELL, LADIES,
I'M FROM THE CONGO.

WE'RE HERE TO WORK.
- UH, THAT'S WORKING.

DOUBLE DUTCHIN'.
- TAMAR, STOP MESSING AROUND.

TAMAR AND SERGEANT TCHICAYA
HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN

THE BESTEST FRIENDS.

BUT, AT LEAST I'M NOT
FIGHTIN' WITH TAMAR ANYMORE.

FIVE, FOUR, THREE,

TWO, TWO, TWO, TWO.

- ONE!
- AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,

I'M GETTING
THE SERGEANT'S TOTAL FOCUS,

SO I'LL BE READY
FOR THIS WALK.

- YOU DID THAT.
- GOOD JOB.

YOU THINK YOU'RE
GETTIN' READY?

OH, YEAH.

- ALL RIGHT, NOW.
- SO PROUD OF YOU.

- PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
- YEAH.

WELCOME TO THE PINK.

BROOKE JUST HAD
A RECITAL NOT TOO LONG AGO.

SHE'S ALREADY IN
ONE BALLET SCHOOL,

SO I'M GONNA PUT HER IN,
LIKE, TWO MORE.

OH, YEAH.

NOW THAT WE'VE ALL MADE
PEACE WITH EACH OTHER,

I INVITED
MY SISTERS TO LUNCH,

AND I'VE DECIDED TO BRING UP
MY CLOTHING STORE IDEA AGAIN.

TONI COULDN'T JOIN US BECAUSE
SHE HAD TO GO BACK TO WORK

ON HER MOVIE.

BUT REALLY, TAMAR'S
THE MAIN PERSON I'M WORRIED

WILL HAVE ANY ISSUES.

I'M OPENING UP
A STORE IN ATLANTA,

AND I WOULD
REALLY LOVE IT

IF IT COULD BE A "WE" OPENING UP
THE STORE IN ATLANTA.

THAT IS MY GOAL,
FOR EVERYBODY TO BE TOGETHER

AND OPEN UP
THE STORE.

REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT IT BEFORE?

YEAH, BUT WE TALK-- YEAH,
WE DEFINITELY TALKED ABOUT--

YOU WEREN'T-YOU WEREN'T
THERE WHEN WE WERE IN ITALY.

- NO, BUT BEFORE THAT, RIGHT?
- AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE--

YES, WE-- YEAH.

DIDN'T WE HAVE A
CONVERSATION ABOUT IT?

YEAH, WE SURE DID--
WE SURE DID.

YES, TAMAR CAME UP WITH
THE IDEA ABOUT THE SISTERS

OPENING UP THE STORE
THREE YEARS AGO.

BUT, WHY DIDN'T WE OPEN UP
THE STORE THEN, THREE YEARS AGO?

SO, NOW THAT EVERYONE DECIDES,
HEY, WE'RE GONNA BE INVOLVED,

WELL, NOW LET'S
ALL BE INVOLVED.

SO, TRINA, IT'S JUST GONNA BE
ALL FIVE GIRLS AND NOT MOMMY.

I JUST WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR--
EVERYBODY'S HEARING THIS.

YEAH, AND THIS
IS JUST MY IDEA.

AND EVERYBODY, OF COURSE,
INTERJECT, IF YOU WANT TO,

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
I'VE WANTED FOR JUST US GIRLS,

US GIRLS' VENTURE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH MOMMY
BEING INVOLVED, THOUGH?

THERE'S-THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH MOMMY BEING INVOLVED.

BUT, YOU KNOW, MOMMY
DOESN'T LIKE TO BE INUNDATED

WITH MUNDANE THINGS.

YEAH, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S
VERY SMART TO EXCLUDE MOMMY.

MY IDEA WASN'T TO SAY,
"HEY, LET'S JUST DO A STORE

"AND EXCLUDE MOMMY."
- NO, THAT'S-- WAIT A MINUTE.

- THAT WASN'T-THAT WASN'T
- THAT WASN'T MY POINT.

HOLD ON-- HOLD ON--
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

NO-NO, I'M JUST--
NO, YOU'RE ASKING A QUESTION.

I'M JUST ANSWERING IT.
- I DIDN'T ASK NO QUESTION.

I JUST THINK THAT,
IN THE BEGINNING,

THE STORE IS GONNA BE A LITTLE
MORE AGE APPROPRIATE FOR THE--

FOR IT TO BE
THE FIVE OF US.

I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT
MOMMY SHOULD BE A PART

OF OUR SISTER STORE.

I WANT THE STORE
TO BE FUN.

AND SOME OF
THE SHOPS THAT I GO IN,

YOU DON'T SEE
A MOTHER SECTION.

SO, WHY WOULD WE HAVE
A MOTHER SECTION?

THIS ISN'T THE CHURCH.

I DON'T THINK IT'S
SMART AT ALL TO EXCLUDE

ANY TYPE OF CUSTOMER.

THAT'S SILLY-- DUH!

YOU KNOW, OLDER PEOPLE DO
SPEND LOTS OF MONEY ON CLOTHES.

THEY CALL THEM
OUTFITS, THOUGH.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY Y'ALL
WANNA EXCLUDE HER SO BAD.

SOMETIMES, WE
WANNA DO THINGS--

IT'S NOT ABOUT EXCLUDING
SOMEBODY .

BE-BE DOING
THINGS AS SISTERS.

WE DO A LOT OF
THINGS BY OURSELVES.

IT'S SILLY NOT TO HAVE
THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT ANY--

NAME ONE STORE YOU CAN GO
TO FROM AGES 21 TO 55.

WHAT STORE IS THAT--
BOUTIQUE?

WHAT STORE?

WELL, I'M-I'M JUST
SAYING THAT A LOT OF THINGS

WE DO IN
BRAXTON FAMILY,

WE DON'T ALL
DO TOGETHER.

YEAH, WE DON'T DO
NOTHIN' TOGETHER.

THAT'S THE REAL-
THE REAL ISSUE.

WELL, TAMAR, THE REALNESS
IS THAT, UH, THAT-- IS IT

BECAUSE, UH, YOU WANNA
EXCLUDE OTHER PEOPLE?

NO-- IT'S BECAUSE
SOMETIMES EVERYTHING IS NOT

FOR THE CONGLOMERACY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
TAMAR IS SO HUNG UP

ON HAVING MOMMY INVOLVED.

IT'S ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO
GET ALL FIVE OF US SISTERS

TO AGREE ON THINGS.

ADDING ANOTHER BRAXTON WOMAN
TO THE MIX IS GONNA BE,

AS TAMAR LIKES TO SAY,
TEAM TOO MUCH.

WE ARE GOING TO MAKE
THE REALITY HAPPEN

OF OWNING OUR
OWN RETAIL STORE.

WELL, TO-- HERE'S
TO SISTERS UNITING.

TRACI, NOT THE CANDLE.

- CANDLE, REALLY?
- YOU TRIED IT.

YOU CAN'T-YOU CAN'T
DO THAT WITH A CANDLE.

- YOU TRIED IT.
- I REALLY DID.

PICK UP A CALAMARI--
DON'T USE THE CANDLE.

OR THE LEMON
AND SUCK ON IT.

- YOU SUCK ON THE LEMON.
- GO SUCK A LEMON.

- I LIKE LEMONS.
- YOU'D LOVE ITALY.

CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-
CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK.

WE WON.

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

THERE IS A TONGUE TWISTER
HERE FOR YOU, RIGHT?

- GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGIST.
- GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGIST.

GEOCOLONIC ONCOLOGIST.

YOU CAN'T SAY
THAT THREE TIMES.

HOW IS THIS GONNA WORK,
IF NOBODY WANTS TO SIT DOWN

AND MEET ABOUT IT?

IT'S NEVER GONNA WORK--
EVERYBODY'S TOO BUSY TO BE BUSY.

MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS,
BUT MY HUSBAND, KEVIN,

IS A MEMBER OF A
BADASS BIKER CLUB

CALLED THE SONS
OF SOLOMON,

AND I AM A MEMBER OF
THE QUEENS OF SHEBA.

AND I AM KINDA
EMBARRASSED,

'CAUSE I'M ALWAYS ON MY
HUSBAND'S BIKE AS A BACKPACK.

AND LORD KNOWS, I'M JUST DYING
TO GET MY OWN LICENSE AND BIKE.

OKAY, GIRLS.

EVEN THOUGH WE'RE A SOCIAL
CLUB AND EVERYTHING,

BUT I'M GONNA GET MY LITTLE
FAT ASS UP ON THE MOTORCYCLE.

ON THE BIKE.

- DON'T HURT YOURSELF.
- OH, I'M GONNA TRY NOT TO.

YOU NEED TO FIGURE OUT
WHICH KIND YOU WANNA GET.

I KNOW-- I WANT SOMETHIN'
THAT'S BIG AND POWERFUL.

YOU WANT
ONE OF THOSE?

WE SHOULD GO OVER TO THE
MOTORCYCLE CLUB AND ASK THEM.

ASK.

UH, LITTLE BIT AND H.T.,
I KNOW Y'ALL GOT YOUR BIKES

WIT Y'ALL AND
EVERYTHING.

I NEED TO-I NEED TO SEE.
- RIGHT THERE.

OOH, I LIKE
THAT BLACK ONE.

OOH, SO MUCH TO
RIDE AND EVERYTHING!

SEE, I CAN'T EVEN DO THIS ONE,
'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT, Y'ALL?

I HAVE A BIG BUTT.

LOOK AT THAT--
I LOOK LIKE .

SO, IF I DO THIS,
WHAT'S THAT?

UH-UH.

THAT AIN'T
GONNA LOOK CUTE.

YOU GOTTA GET --
LOOK-- LOOK!

LOOK-- LOOK--
WAIT A MINUTE-- WAIT A MINUTE.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT,
RIGHT HERE.

- SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU GOT.
- AH!

YOU GOT .

WHAT'S UP, LADIES?

- UH-OH.
- HEY, HONEY!

LOOK HOW IT
ELONGATES MY LEGS.

SO, YOU LOOK REAL GOOD
ON THIS BIKE, TOO.

I DO, DON'T I?

FIRST THINGS FIRST.

YOU GOTTA TAKE THE CLASS, BABY.
- YOU'RE JUST A FUN SNATCHER.

I KNOW-- I KNOW--
I KNOW-- I KNOW.

THAT'S-THAT'S MY JOB-- I-I
JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE THE CLASS.

REALLY--
I CAN'T PICTURE EVERYTHING?

I-I CAN'T
FANTASIZE MY BIKE?

I CAN'T FANTASIZE THE POWER--
REALLY?

I STEPPED ON
A ROACH .

MAN--
HEY, DO THAT, AGAIN.

DO THAT, AGAIN--
DO THAT, AGAIN.

LET ME GO ON THE OTHER SIDE.
- NO, I AIN'T DOIN' IT, AGAIN.

LET ME-
LET ME GET ON THE SIDE.

- 'CAUSE YOU'RE A FUN SNATCHER!
- LET ME DO IT.

- YOU'RE A FUN SNATCHER!
- YES, HE IS.

ALL I WANNA SAY, IS SAFETY--
BE SAFE-- BE SAFE.

SAFETY FIRST.

HI-- WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR MY DAD.

YEAH.

LOOKS LIKE THIS IS ONE OF
THE NEWEST CLUBS THAT CAME OUT.

HELPS EVERYBODY HIT
A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

SCORE A LITTLE
BIT BETTER.

- WHAT DOES A DRIVER MEAN?
- HOW MUCH IS THAT, THOUGH?

THIS ONE'S ACTUALLY
GONNA BE $399.

THREE HUNDRED AND
NINETY-NINE DOLLARS?

- FOR ONE THING?
- YES, MA'AM.

- IT'S LIKE SHOES, HUH?
- IT'S THE BEST ONE.

A SHOE--
PAIR OF SHOES ON SALE.

TODAY, TAMAR AND I WENT
SHOPPING FOR A GIFT FOR MY DAD.

IT'S HIS 65th BIRTHDAY,
AND HE'S HAVING A PARTY.

AND MY DAD IS KIND OF
IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOP FOR.

LIKE, WHAT
DOES HE WANT?

I THINK WE SHOULD
GET HIM CUFF LINKS.

FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS!

I WONDER IF PEOPLE BE ON
A GOLF COURSE, FLOSSIN',

AND FLEXIN', AND STUFF.
- THEY DO.

THAT'S-- THEY PROBABLY GOT
REAL ONES, LIKE-LIKE $700,

$800, $1,100, $1,200 THINGS.
- YEAH.

THAT'S THE ONES I
WOULD WANT, THOUGH.

GOLFING IS EXPENSIVE.

I GET IT, NOW--
I NEVER GOT WHY GUYS GOLF.

LIKE, THAT'S-- YOU'RE JUST
HITTIN' A LITTLE BALL.

AND DO YOU NOTICE,
WHEN GUYS GOLF, THEY--

USUALLY, THE GUYS THAT GOLF,
THEY HAVE A COIN,

A GOOD COIN, A SHINY, PRETTY--
- WHAT'S A COIN MEAN?

GOT A LITTLE,
YOU KNOW, GOT A COIN.

OH, YOU MEAN GOT MONEY.

I GOT TO GO ON
THE GOLF COURSE.

YOU GOTTA GO ON THE GOLF
COURSE AND FIND YOU A--

YEAH!
- I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT GUYS
WITH A COIN HANG OUT

AT THE GOLF COURSE, OR
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET A COIN.

THEY'RE PROBABLY REAL
ESTABLISHED IN THEIR CAREER,

AND GOT A LITTLE
CUTENESS TO 'EM,

AND GOT A LITTLE
SHINY COIN.

AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT
EVERY GIRL DREAMS OF, RIGHT?

I MEAN--

SO, TELL ME WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH THE STORE.

I DON'T KNOW, TONI.

I-I DON'T REALLY WANNA TALK
ABOUT IT, 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW,

I'M GONNA SOUND--
- WHY?

I DON'T WANNA SOUND SHADY,
NOT UNLESS YOU PULL MY LEG

TO TALK ABOUT IT.

WELL, TELL ME--
OKAY, I'M GONNA PULL YOUR LEG.

OKAY, LISTEN--
I TOLD TRINA.

BUT, I WAS LIKE, "EVERYBODY
SHOULD HAVE A SECTION

"IN THE STORE WHERE,
YOU KNOW, I GUESS THE PERSON

"WHO'S SHOPPING CAN
IDENTIFY WITH THE GIRL."

RIGHT?
- RIGHT.

AND THEN, WHY WOULD
YOU LEAVE MOMMY OUT?

BECAUSE THAT'S DUMB.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT
BEING JUST THE GIRLS?

- I JUST DON'T-- I DON'T KNOW.
- I THINK WE SHOULD DEFINITELY--

- THERE'S NOTHIN' WRONG WITH IT.
- I JUST THINK THIS IS SISTERS.

THIS IS OUR FIRST VENUE
THAT WE'LL BE DOING JUST US,

EXCLUSIVELY US GIRLS.

EVERYTHING ELSE
IS EVERYBODY.

I JUST DON'T THINK
MOMMY SH-SHOULD HAVE--

I JUST DON'T WANT HER TO--
- WELL, WHAT IF--

WELL, WE HAVE FIGHTS--
THEN, MOMMY GOTTA GET INVOLVED.

OKAY, LISTEN.

- SHE JUST SHOULDN'T.
- BUT, NOT THAT.

WHEN YOU PUT IT LIKE THAT,
IT MAKES SENSE.

YEAH.

BUT, I JUST FEEL LIKE,
IF WE'RE GONNA DO SOMETHIN',

THEN WE SHOULD DO IT.

IT SHOULDN'T TAKE 13-14
MONTHS TO HAVE A MEETING.

I AGREE WITH THAT.

HOW IS THIS GONNA WORK,
IF NOBODY WANTS TO SIT DOWN

AND MEET ABOUT IT?

IT'S NEVER GONNA WORK.

EVERYBODY'S TOO
BUSY TO BE BUSY.

I MEAN, LIKE ANYTHING ELSE
THAT MY SISTERS AND I

ARE SUPPOSED TO DO TOGETHER,
WHEN IT'S TIME TO HAVE A MEETING

OR WHEN IT'S TIME
TO, YOU KNOW,

GET DOWN TO THE BUSINESS PART,
MY SISTERS ARE ALWAYS M.I.A.

AND, YOU KNOW, UH, ISN'T THAT
WHAT THEY WAS TALKIN' TO ME

ABOUT DURING
MY TAMAR-VENTION?

HELLO?

OKAY, JUST SAYIN'.

HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK
ALL OF THESE COST?

ONE, TWO--
- WELL, THEY'RE $99 APIECE.

I DON'T THINK DADDY
SHOULD GET THIS.

I THINK WE SHOULD DO
SOMETHIN' DIFFERENT.

I TOLD THE GIRLS
WE SHOULD SEND HIM

ON A FIRST CLASS CRUISE,

ANYWHERE HE WANTS TO.
- I LOVE THE CRUISE IDEA.

AND THAT'S WHAT THEY
DO ANYWAY, EVERY YEAR.

YEAH.

AND EVERYBODY
JUST PUT IN FOR IT.

- I AGREE.
- AND REALLY DO IT.

- I AGREE.
- AND GO.

- I LIKE THE CRUISE IDEA.
- I LIKE THE CRUISE IDEA.

- I LIKE THAT-- THAT, I DO LIKE.
- I THINK MY DAD ON A CRUISE

WOULD BE COMPLETELY
OUT OF ORDER,

CRACKING INAPPROPRIATE JOKES,

AND HAVING A GOOD
DRUNKEN GAMBLING TIME.

I AIN'T NEVER
BEEN ON A CRUISE.

I'M A YACHT GIRL MYSELF.

YEAH, WE'RE GONNA
TAKE HIM ON A CRUISE.

I LIKE THE CRUISE
IDEA BETTER.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
THIS STUFF.

I'M HERE IN D.C. TODAY
TO WALK WITH THE FOUNDATION

FOR WOMEN'S CANCER.

BUT, BEFORE I DO THAT,

I HAVE TO DO A PSA,
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
VERY EASY FOR YOU.

DO SHE KNOW WHAT
SHE TALKIN' ABOUT?

IS THAT REALLY A WORD?

GEOCOLOGIC ONCOLOGIST--
GET YOUR LIFE.

OKAY, AND ACTION.

I'M TRACI BRAXTON.

REPRODUCTIVE--

BLACK WOMEN DIE
IN GREATER NUMBER

FROM THESE BELOW THE BELT.

REALLY?

I'M TRACI BRAXTON.

REPRODUCTIVE CANCERS STRIKE--

STILL ROLLING.

BLACK WOMEN DIE
IN GREATER NUMBERS

FROM THESE BELOW
THE BELT CANCERS.

YOU WANT
A SIP OF WATER?

NO-- WANT ME TO
DO ONE MORE, AGAIN?

ONE MORE, YES--
YEAH, ONE MORE.

- ONE MORE, AGAIN?
- SURE, WE CAN DO ONE MORE TIME.

NO, THAT'S EBONICS-- I'M
SPEAKING EBONICS, RIGHT NOW.

SAY IT
ONE MORE TIME.

- ONE MORE, AGAIN.
- ONE MORE, AGAIN.

- YEAH.
- ALL RIGHT, ONE MORE, AGAIN.

SOUND LIKE JEFF FOXWORTHY--
ALL RIGHT.

"LET'S DO IT, AGAIN"
IS "ONE MORE, AGAIN."

IT'S NOT REDNECK,
IT'S EBONICS.

EVERYBODY KNOW THAT--
THAT'S IN THE BLACK DICTIONARY.

ONE MORE, AGAIN.

THE FOUNDATION FOR
WOMEN CANCERS WANT US

TO LEARN THE SYMPTOMS.

LISTEN TO OUR BODIES
AND ACT BY SEEKING CARE

FROM YOUR GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGIST
FOR THE BEST OUTCOME.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT!

foundationforwomenscancer.org.

VERY GOOD--
THAT'S AWESOME.

GOOD JOB, TRACI.

- YAY!
- WHOO!

I BET YOU DON'T EVEN
NEED CUE CARDS, NOW.

YES, I DO.

FINALLY GOT THIS PSA DONE,
AND I FEEL SO RELIEVED.

BUT NOW, I HAVE
TO GIVE A SPEECH,

AND I'M, LIKE, EVEN
MORE NERVOUS FOR THAT.

YOU DON'T GET A WHOLE BUNCH
OF TIMES TO DO DO-OVERS

AND RETAKES IN
PUBLIC SPEAKING.

- YOU GO, GIRL.
- YOU KNOW-- WORK IT.

GO, GIRL.
- GO, GIRL-- WORK IT, GIRL.

WORK IT.

WORK WHAT YOUR
FATHER GAVE YOU.

WORK WHAT YOUR
FATHER GAVE YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT--
THE MAN IS CRAZY.

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

IT'S ESPECIALLY MEANINGFUL
FOR ME TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS

WITH AFRICAN AMERICAN

AND ALSO TO ALL
MY ALBINO SISTERS.

I DON'T THINK I WANNA DO
ANY MORE RECORDS, FOR REAL.

I DON'T FEEL THAT
THING FOR IT ANYMORE.

WHAT YOU--
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HI, LADIES!

HI-- HOW YA DOIN'?

YES!

HOW YA DOIN'--
ARE WE READY FOR THIS?

I KNOW I'M READY.

AS HARD AS I TRAINED
WITH SERGEANT TCHICAYA,

I AM NOT FEELING IN TIP TOP
SHAPE FOR THIS BEACH.

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO SEE
ALL THESE EXCITED WOMEN,

WHO ARE GOING TO
WALK WITH ME TODAY.

BUT NOW, I'M REALLY
FEELING THE PRESSURE

TO DELIVER THIS SPEECH.

THANK GOD DADDY'S
HERE TO HELP ME TODAY.

NOT ONLY IT AFFECTS AFRICAN
AMERICAN BLACK WOMEN,

ALSO MY ALBINO SISTERS,

MY BLACK-- MY WHITE SISTERS,
MY CAUCASIAN SISTERS.

MY WHITE SISTERS,
MY CAUCASIAN SISTERS.

OKAY.

OKAY, ALL WOMEN OF COLOR.

WELL-- WELL, GOD--
WELL, JESUS SAID,

"RED, AND YELLOW,
BLACK, AND WHITE,

"THEY'RE ALL PRECIOUS
IN HIS SIGHT."

SO, I CANNOT SAY, "RED, AND
YELLOW, BLACK, AND WHITE?"

BEFORE THE WALK, I DON'T THINK
I'M READY TO GIVE ANYBODY

ANY KINDA SPEECH,
BECAUSE I'M--

FOR REAL,
I'M NERVOUS AS HELL.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE
HELP ME WELCOME TRACI BRAXTON.

HELLO.

THANK YOU,
MISS ALLISON.

AND THANK YOU, EVERYONE,
FOR HAVING ME HERE.

I AM SO TOUCHED AND
HONORED TO BE HERE.

Y'ALL DIDN'T TELL ME
IT WAS GONNA BE COLDER

THAN A POLAR BEAR'S
BOOTY TODAY.

BUT, GOOD GOD!

BUT, WE ARE HERE FOR THIS
FOUNDATION FOR WOMEN'S CANCER

AND THIS INCREDIBLE MOVEMENT.

AND I AM SO PLEASED
AND HONORED TO BE HERE

TO HELP RAISE
THE AWARENESS

OF WOMEN'S,
UH, CANCER,

YOU KNOW, BELOW THE BELT,
WITH AFRICAN AMERICAN

AND ALSO TO ALL
MY ALBINO SISTERS.

THE CAUCASIAN SISTERS.

I THANK YOU SO MUCH.

TO ALL MY ALBINO
SISTERS OUT THERE,

I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS
NOT BEING UPSET WITH ME

FOR CALLING YOU
GUYS ALBINO SISTERS.

UH, MY GRANDMA'S WHITE.

HOW ABOUT THAT-- BOOM.

AFTER I PRACTICED AND PRACTICED
THE SPEECH AND EVERYTHING,

EVERYTHING JUST
WENT BLANK.

SO, YOU KNOW,
I JUST HAD TO WING IT

AND SAY WHAT'S
WITHIN MY HEART.

I HAVE A STORY MYSELF.

UM, WHEN I WAS M-MUCH YOUNGER,
AFTER I HAD MY SON,

I HAD A SCARE.

AND A LOT OF US
WOMEN HAVE SCARES,

AND-AND NOT CHECKING
ON OUR BODIES,

AND NOT MAKING SURE
THAT WE ARE OKAY.

A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER
I HAD MY SON, THEY FOUND,

UM, CANCER CELLS ON MY CERVIX,
BUT I DID NOT HAVE CANCER.

SO, YOU KNOW, I'M VERY GLAD
AND HAPPY THAT I AM STILL HERE

AMONGST MY FAMILY
AND FRIENDS.

UM, MY GRANDMOTHER AND MY
AUNT HAD THIS DISEASE, ALSO.

AND GOD BLESS THEIR SOULS,
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.

FOR ALL YOU LADIES OUT HERE,
I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE STRONG,

AND Y-YOU GUYS
ARE MY HERO.

AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS
CONTINUE TO TELL EVERYONE

TO BE AWARE FOR
YOUR BODIES AND THINGS.

SO, I THANK YOU
GUYS FOR INVITING ME,

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU, TRACI.

SEEING TRACI OUT THERE,
I WAS PROUD OF HER.

BEAUTIFUL DAY,
A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER,

AND A HANDSOME FATHER.

OKAY, EVERYBODY--
YOU READY TO RACE?

ALL RIGHT--
THAT'S IT, POP!

I'LL LOOK FOR HER.

- GET IT, GIRL!
- I'M TRYING, GIRL.

I JUST STARTED
TWO SECONDS AGO.

I RAN MOST
OF THE WAY.

ACTUALLY, WELL, WHEN I SAW
THE CAMERAMAN, I-I RAN.

HAVE YOU HEARD THAT
TRACI BRAXTON'S HERE?

HAVE YOU SAID
HELLO TO TRACI?

YES!

LET'S GO!

LET'S GO!

L-E-T-S-G-O!

LET'S GO--
LET'S GO!

L-E-T-S-G-O!

LET'S GO!
- OH.

IT'S COLD OUT HERE,
AND I CAN'T HARDLY BREATHE.

BUT, THERE'S NO WAY IN
GOD'S GREEN EARTH WILL I BE

THE LAST ONE TO CROSS
THE FINISH LINE.

AND HOW I'M GONNA
GIVE A SPEECH,

AND I FINISH LAST?

WHOO!

GIRL, I WAS RUNNIN'
THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME!

WHOO!

YES!

GO, TRACI!

RUN!
- OH, NO, MY HIP!

WAIT, MY HIP--
WAIT!

IT'S THE HIP.

I REALLY RAN,
AT THE FINISH LINE.

WHEN I SAW THE FINISH LINE,
I WAS LIKE, OKAY,

I'M GONNA TAKE
THIS BULL BY THE HORNS,

AND I'M GOING
TO SPRINT.

WHOO!

YOU DID IT!

IT FELT GREAT TO CROSS
THE FINISH LINE.

IT FELT LIKE I
ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING.

AND IT WAS
LIKE, OKAY,

IF I COULD RUN
TEN MORE MILES--

NO, I'M LYING.

IF I WAS RUNNING, LIKE,
TEN MORE FEET, THEN, YOU KNOW--

WHEW!

IT'D BE GREAT--
MY LEGS ARE TINGLING.

IT WAS A FRESH
OF BREATH AIR.

WHEW!

HEY, TONE.

- HEY, HON.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

I AM TRYING TO GET ONLINE
FOR THE SPANISH CLASS.

HA-HA!

ARE YOU--
CAN YOU SPEAK IT?

SOMETHIN'?
- UM, DONDE ESTAN LOS NINOS?

WHERE ARE THE BOYS--
WHERE ARE THE KIDS?

- OH.
- AH.

WHY DON'T YOU ASK
GABE TO HELP YOU?

- GABE DOESN'T SPEAK SPANISH.
- HE SURE DOESN'T.

HE'S A MEXI-CAN'T.

HOW CAN HE BE A MEXICAN,
AND HE DOESN'T SPEAK SPANISH?

HE'S A MEXI-CAN'T--
HE CAN'T SPEAK SPANISH.

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

SO, LET ME ASK
YOU A QUESTION.

YOU SAID ON AN INTERVIEW,
OR TWO, OR THREE,

THAT YOU WERE GIVING UP
THE MUSIC CAREER.

YEP.

- I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD.
- I DON'T THINK I CAN DO IT.

I C--
IT'S NOT FUN ANYMORE.

- TONI.
- IT'S TOO MUCH STRESS.

I CAN'T EVEN WORK
LIKE I USED TO WORK.

BUT, YOU CAN DO
STUDIO STUFF.

YOU GOTTA PROMOTE
STUDIO STUFF.

I'M UPSET ABOUT IT, TOO.
- REALLY?

YOU'RE UPSET, TOO?

I'M-- NO, I'M UPSET
AT MYSELF THAT--

OH.

I DON'T FEEL THAT
THING FOR IT ANYMORE.

I CAN'T EVEN WATCH--
I DIDN'T EVEN WATCH THE GRAMMYS

OR NONE OF
THE AWARD SHOWS.

I CAN'T EVEN
WATCH 'EM ANYMORE.

IT'S FOR REAL-- IT'S JUST
DIFFERENT FOR ME, NOW.

I DON'T EVEN
LOVE IT ANYMORE.

THAT'S BECAUSE--

AND THEN,
THE STRESS ALL THE TIME.

BUT, TONI, YOU HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND ALL THE THINGS

THAT YOU'VE GONE THROUGH
IN THESE PAST FEW YEARS--

EXACTLY.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO BE STRESSED.

NO, ALL THE THINGS I'M GOING
THROUGH-- MY DIVORCE IS FINAL.

I GOTTA WORRY
ABOUT MUSIC.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT TO TALK ABOUT

OR TO SING
ABOUT ANYMORE.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
PUT ALL THAT ON PAPER?

WHY DON'T YOU SING
AND WRITE ABOUT IT?

OH, THAT'S AN EPIPHANY.

- NO, I'M SERIOUS.
- NO, I DON'T--

WHY DON'T YOU SING AND WRITE
ABOUT THAT STUFF?

I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE
LIVING IT, RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
EVER GONNA DO IT AGAIN.

WHAT ABOUT NEXT WEEK?

MUSIC USED TO
MAKE ME SO HAPPY.

WHEN YOU GAVE ME THAT MIC, AND
I SUNG, NO MATTER WHERE I WAS,

I FELT POWERFUL.

BUT NOW, I CAN'T EVEN
WATCH AWARD SHOWS.

I DON'T WANNA SEE WHAT
ANYONE ELSE IS DOING.

I CAN'T LISTEN TO THE RADIO,
WHICH IS REALLY BAD,

'CAUSE I HAVE KIDS,
AND THEY LOVE MUSIC,

AND I FEEL LIKE I'M
SUPPRESSING THEIR DESIRE

AND THEIR LOVE FOR MUSIC.

THAT'S NOT GOOD.

BUT, YOU SOUND SO
GOOD WHEN YOU SING.

LET ME TELL
YOU SOMETHING.

BUT, I DON'T FEEL
SO GOOD WHEN I SING.

I'M NOT JUST-- I'M-I'M NOT
JUST A TONI BRAXTON SISTER.

I'M A TONI BRAXTON FAN.
- BUT, I HAVE TO FEEL GOOD.

I THINK, IF I DON'T FEEL IT,
AND I SING IT,

PEOPLE WILL KNOW IT--
OKAY, THAT AIN'T REAL.

SHE AIN'T TRYING
TO DO THAT.

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

I KNOW IT'S NOT
WHAT YOU ENVISIONED.

I FEEL LIKE I'M
IN FERN GULLY.

WHAT?

UH-UH.

I THINK THAT YOU
SHOULD TALK TO BABYFACE.

- HEY.
- HOW ARE YOU?

I'M READY TO RIDE, HONEY.

TODAY IS MY FIRST
MOTORCYCLE LESSON,

AND I AM SO
FREAKING EXCITED.

I JUST REALLY HOPE
I DON'T FALL ON MY ASS

AND END UP WITH
A BROKEN LEG.

THE FIRST THING WE'RE GONNA
HAVE YOU DO IS JUST MOUNT IT,

SO YOU CAN FEEL THE WEIGHT
OF THE MOTORCYCLE.

PRETTY STRONG LADY?

LET'S SEE YOUR GUNS.
- YEAH.

- LET'S SEE YOUR GUNS.
- OOH, WHAT?

- OH!
- I WORK OUT-- I WORK OUT.

I'M FEELING SCARED AS HELL
ON THE INSIDE PARTS.

TURN YOUR HEAD--
TURN YOUR HEAD.

LOOK FOR ME.

BUT, I'M TRYING TO
HIDE IT FROM VANESSA

'CAUSE I DON'T WANT HER
TO THINK THAT I'M A PUNK.

WHEN YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE,
PICK YOUR FEET UP,

AND PUT 'EM
ON THE PEGS.

RELAX-- RELAX!

PICK UP YOUR FEET
AND DO NOTHIN' MORE.

RELAX-- RELAX!

HEY, LOOK!

HEY-- HEY!

TRACI, TURN 'ER RIGHT!

TURN 'ER RIGHT!

TRACI!

WATCH THE REST OF THE STORY
AND SEE MORE OF ME AT wetv.com.

YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE
GIVING UP THE MUSIC CAREER.

YEP.

BUT, YOU SOUND SO
GOOD WHEN YOU SING.

I THINK PEOPLE FORGET
THAT MUSIC IS LIKE AN ART.

IT'S LIKE AN ARTIST.
- IT IS.

- WE GET--
- YOU GET INTO THE MOMENT.

- YEAH.
- YEAH.

AND I'M NOT FEELING ANY
MOMENTS-- I'M IN A DARK PHASE.

I'M NOT SURE WHY
I FEEL THIS WAY.

UH, MAYBE IT'S
JUST TOO MUCH.

I'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS
ALMOST 20 YEARS.

THIS IS MY 20th
YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO FIX IT.

HOW DO YOU FIX SOMETHING THAT--
IT'S LIKE BEING IN LOVE,

BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP,

AND YOU'RE FINDING OUT
THAT IT'S A FARCE.

I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD
TALK TO KENNY, BABYFACE.

I THINK YOU SHOULD.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY TO HIM.

WHAT YOU--
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I JUST--
WE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE,

ABOUT DOING
SOMETHIN' TOGETHER,

BUT I DON'T THINK I WANNA DO
ANY MORE RECORDS, FOR REAL.

- I THINK THAT YOU--
- THAT'S FOR REAL.

BUT, TALK
TO HIM ABOUT IT.

LIKE, SERIOUSLY
TALK ABOUT IT.

DON'T JUST MENTION IT.
- MAYBE.

TOWANDA WANTS ME TO
MEET WITH BABYFACE.

I CALL HIM KENNY.

UM, HE IS LIKE MY BIG BROTHER
IN THE BUSINESS.

I'M HIS MUSE.

HIS GREAT MUSIC I-IS
WHAT MOLDED MY CAREER,

GREAT SONGS LIKE
"ANOTHER SAD LOVE SONG,"

"YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME,"
"BREATHE AGAIN."

I MEAN, COUNTLESS SONGS,

AND WE'VE ALWAYS
BEEN ABLE TO TALK.

WHENEVER I WAS
FEELING ANYTHING,

KENNY'S ALWAYS
BEEN THERE FOR ME.

AND I HAVEN'T TALKED
TO HIM IN A WHILE,

AND HIS OPINION
MATTERS TO ME.

JUST TRY TO TALK TO HIM--
JUST PROMISE ME YOU WILL.

I'LL-- OKAY,
I'LL SAY HI MAYBE.

NO, IT'S NOT JUST HI.

YOU CAN'T-YOU CAN'T
JUST HAVE A CONVERSATION

JUST BY SAYING HI.

I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A
DEEP CONVERSATION WITH HIM.

MAYBE YEAH, SO HE MIGHT
KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT.

YES.

AND THEN, HE'LL GIVE ME
INSIGHT OF HOW TO GET OUT OF IT.

SEE?

NO, HOW TO GET OUT
OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS.

OH, OKAY.

WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE
GONNA TALK TO HIM.

I GOTTA GET ANOTHER JOB--
I GOTTA GET ANOTHER JOB.

THAT'S WHY I THINK
YOU SHOULD TALK TO HIM.

I GOTTA GET
ANOTHER JOB.

I REALLY THINK YOU
SHOULD TALK TO HIM.

- MAYBE.
- 'CAUSE HE KNOWS YOU VERY WELL.

HE'S-- YOU'RE LIKE
HIS LITTLE SISTER.

MAYBE.

SO, HE'S GONNA BE HONEST
WITH YOU ABOUT STUFF.

MY ONLY HESITATION
ABOUT CALLING BABYFACE IS,

HE'S LIKE MY BIG BROTHER,

AND YA KINDA DON'T WANT
YOUR BIG BROTHER TO KNOW

WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN
OR WHEN SOMETHING'S GOING ON.

AND I ALSO FEEL THAT ALL
THE WORK HE'S DONE FOR ME--

I DON'T WANT HIM TO FEEL LIKE,
"ALL THIS, I'VE HELPED HER,

"AND NOW SHE'S, LIKE,
THROWING IT AWAY."

IT'S KIND OF A LITTLE
BIT OF THAT, TOO.

BUT, I'LL
THINK ABOUT IT.

I WILL AT LEAST THINK
ABOUT TALKING TO KENNY,

'CAUSE HE PROBABLY
UNDERSTANDS WHAT I'M FEELING.

MMM-HMM.

AND HE COULD
PROBABLY HELP ME--

YEAH.

FEEL BETTER
ABOUT NOT DOING IT.

WELL, JUST SAY HE'LL
MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

ABOUT THE SITUATION.

DON'T SAY FEEL BETTER
ABOUT NOT DOING IT.

DON'T JUST SAY-- PUT A STAMP
ON IT, AND SAY, "NO-NO-NO."

JUST YOU HAVE TO GO IN WITH,
UH, YOUR MIND LIKE THIS.

- JUST--
- JUST TRY.

HOW DO YOU SAY,
"JUST TRY," IN SPANISH?

- YOU ASKING ME?
- I'M GONNA LOOK IT UP.

- JUST TRY.
- YO QUIERO NO MUSICA.

NO-NO-NO.

I WANT NO MUSIC.

OUI.

OUI, SENORITA.
- NO.

NO COMPRENDO ABOUT YOU NOT
BEING ABLE TO SING ANYMORE.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

HEY, TRIN.

HEY.

- GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- GOOD.

- THIS IS FRANTINO.
- ALL RIGHT, NICE TO MEET YOU.

HI-- I'M GONNA CALL YOU TINO--
I'M NOT GONNA REMEMBER IT.

- ALL RIGHT-- OKAY-- HEY.
- I'M GABE-- HOW YA DOIN'?

- GABE, NICE TO MEET YOU.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.

TODAY, GABE AND I ARE MEETING
WITH OUR REALTOR, NIKIA,

TO SEE A COUPLE OF
POSSIBLE STORE LOCATIONS.

I AM REALLY HOPING
TO SEE A WOW FACTOR,

SOMETHING THAT
SINGS TO ME.

- THIS IS THE SPACE...
- OKAY.

...I WAS
TELLING YOU ABOUT.

YES, IT'S 1,200 SQUARE FEET.

THEY COMPLETELY
GUTTED IT OUT.

THEY DID--
THEY-THEY REMOVED THE CARPET.

- THEY TOOK THE CARPET.
- YEAH-- YEAH.

- OH, WOW.
- YEAH-- SO, IT'S A BARE SPACE.

YOU CAN DO WHATEVER
YOU WANNA DO WITH IT.

IT'S A BLANK CANVAS.

THIS LOCATION
IS SPACIOUS AND ALL,

BUT NOTHING
ABOUT IT SAYS FABULOUS.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE WE'RE
IN THE RIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD,

TO BE HONEST.

HOW IS-HOW IS THE
TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA?

UM, YOU GET A LOT OF
BUSINESS FROM THE CAR WASH.

THERE'S A TATTOO SHOP,

WITH THE DOMINICAN HAIR SALON
NEXT DOOR, AS WELL.

NOT TO SOUND BOURGIE,
BUT THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE

THE UPSCALE CUSTOMER
I'M LOOKING FOR.

ALTHOUGH, MAYBE I COULD
DO A MAKEOVER SPECIAL.

GET YOUR CAR WASHED,
A TATTOO, A HAIRDO,

AND SOME NEW CLOTHES
IN ONE PLACE.

UH, NO.

THIS IS THE OTHER
SPACE, TRINA.

I KNOW IT'S NOT
WHAT YOU ENVISIONED,

BUT YOU GOTTA THINK AND
JUST ENVISION THE BOUTIQUE.

I FEEL LIKE I'M
IN FERN GULLY.

WHAT?

WHAT WAS THIS?

THIS WAS, LIKE,
A PLANT SHOP,

BUT JUST THINK
OF IT AS THE BOUTIQUE.

I CANNOT THINK OF
THIS AS THE BOUTIQUE.

OH, MY GOD, NO.
- I LIKE THE PLANTS IN HERE.

UH-UH.

WHAT?

GABE, YOU ARE
NOT HELPING.

WE'RE OPENING A CLOTHING STORE,
NOT A PARK.

SERIOUSLY, WHAT'S
WRONG WITH YOU?

I FEEL LIKE I'M
IN JURASSIC PARK.

I FEEL THERE'S A DINOSAUR EGG
HIDING SOMEWHERE IN THE FERNS.

DO YOU THINK THIS-- WHAT DO
YOU THINK THE PRICE IS OF THIS?

THIS ONE WAS LESS
THAN THE OTHER SPACE.

TEN DOLLARS.

THE SIZE IS GREAT.

OKAY-- WELL, I THINK
I'VE SEEN ENOUGH HERE.

THERE'S NOT REALLY
MUCH TO WALK THROUGH.

FOR THE BRAXTONS, DIRT,
AND INSECTS, AND FERTILIZER,

THAT IS SO NOT
GONNA HAPPEN.

SO, BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

THEY'RE NICE FERNS, THOUGH.

- WE'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
- THEY'RE GROWIN' REALLY WELL.

IT'S PROBABLY HELPING THAT
WE'RE IN HERE TALKING, TOO.

YEAH, THEY LIKE THE SOUND
OF PEOPLE'S VOICES.

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

CAN YOU MAKE
TINY FAIRY STEPS?

- MORGAN, I'M SORRY.
- UH, UH-HUH.

- CAN YOU TEACH HER TO BE TALL?
- I THINK YOU'RE A STAGE MOTHER.

IT'D BE A GREAT IDEA TO
HAVE IT AS A FAMILY VENTURE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT THAT, HONESTLY.

YOU'RE SERIOUS?

YOU KNOW, GETTING OUT
OF THIS CAR IS HARD

BECAUSE IT'S SO HIGH.

- WHAT'D YOU SAY ABOUT MY CAR?
- YEAH, IT'S SO HIGH.

TRYING TO GET OUT.
- COME ON, BRAX.

- OKAY, BRAX.
- YOU READY, BROOKIE?

- NO-NO-NO.
- HI.

- HI.
- HI-- HOW ARE YOU?

- GOOD.
- HI-- I'M TOWANDA.

- I'M MORGAN.
- HI, MORGAN.

- AND THIS IS--
- BROOKE.

- HI, BROOKE.
- BROOKE.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU--
ARE YOU READY TO DANCE?

- READY?
- MMM-HMM.

- YEAH?
- SO, BROOKE IS IN BALLET,

AND THE BALLET WORLD
IS MORE COMPETITIVE

THAN ANY OTHER
PROFESSIONAL SPORT,

AND THERE ARE GIRLS
THAT ARE BROOKE'S AGE

OR EVEN YOUNGER THAN BROOKE
WHO PRACTICE FOR HOURS

AND HOURS EVERY DAY,

AND I WILL
NOT BE UNDONE

WITH BROOKE BEING
LEFT BEHIND.

SHE'S A LITTLE SHY.

THAT'S OKAY.

SO, I'M, YOU KNOW, I'M
GETTING HER OUT OF A LITTLE

OF THE SHYNESS.

YEAH-- DO YOU DANCE?

- A LITTLE BIT.
- NO.

HE DOESN'T DANCE,
BUT I DABBLE A LITTLE.

OH, OKAY.

SO, MOM'S A DANCER.

YEAH, I DABBLE.

EVEN THOUGH I'M
A CHAMELEON,

AND I'M THE TYPE OF PERSON
THAT I CAN ADAPT TO EVERYTHING,

I WASN'T A BALLERINA,
UNFORTUNATELY.

BUT, I'M PRETTY
SURE I COULD DO IT.

DO THE OTHER SIDE.

FRONT-- SIDE.
- TOWANDA--

TOWANDA, IT'S HER TURN.

- HOLD YOUR BEACH BALL.
- YOU'RE GONNA MAKE HER NERVOUS.

BRING YOUR FOOT UP TO PASSE.

POINT TO THE SIDE.

CLOSE IT BACK TO FIRST.

BIG ARABESQUE...

AND STEP BACK TO FIRST.
- YOU SEE?

- BUT YOU'RE NOT--
- I CAN TODAY.

- YOU'RE NOT THE EXPERT, WANDA.
- I AM-- I'M ALWAYS THE EXPERT.

WE'RE GONNA POINT OUR TOE,
JUST LIKE THIS.

WE'RE GONNA POINT
TO THE FRONT,

AND TO THE SIDE,
AND TO THE BACK.

WAIT A MINUTE--
WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT.

AND THEN,
WE'RE GONNA CLOSE.

BROOKE, YOU HAVE TO PAY
ATTENTION TO WHAT SHE'S DOING.

YOU GOTTA POINT,
AND POINT, AND POINT.

TOWANDA, SHE'S
DOING A GOOD JOB!

OKAY.

- SHE-SHE'S DOING A GOOD JOB.
- LET HER DO IT.

LET HER DO IT.
- SHE'S DOING IT.

AND POINT, TWO, AND THREE.

WAIT A MINUTE-- HER FOOT
WAS DOING SOMETHIN' WEIRD.

- BACK TO FRONT.
- TOWANDA!

MAMA, YOUR FOOT
WAS DOIN' SOMETHIN'.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

DID YOU SEE HER LITTLE FOOT
DOIN' THAT LITTLE WEIRD THING?

WELL, SHE'S-SHE'S WORKING
ON IT-- I MEAN, SHE'S--

OKAY, LET'S TRY IT, AGAIN--
TRY IT STRAIGHT.

THERE YOU GO.

- CAN YOU MAKE TINY FAIRY STEPS?
- MORGAN, I'M SORRY.

UH, UH-HUH--
CAN YOU TEACH HER TO BE TALL?

WE JUST WANT HER TO BE
A LITTLE POLISHED.

WELL, SHE'S STILL
GROWING INTO HER BODY.

SO, SHE'S--
- GONNA TAKE A WHILE, HUH?

IT'S GONNA TAKE
A WHILE FOR HER.

WHAT'S A WHILE?

I THINK YOU'RE
A STAGE MOTHER.

I'M NOT A STAGE-- MOMMY,
YOU WERE A STAGE MOTHER.

- YEAH, BUT LOOK WHERE YOU ARE.
- EXACTLY.

SO, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME
BEING A STAGE MOTHER?

YEAH, BUT SHE KNOW
WHAT SHE'S DOING.

I DO, TOO.

I CAN'T BELIEVE MOMMY'S
CALLING ME A STAGE MOMMY.

REALLY?

I'VE LEARNED
FROM THE BEST.

ARE WE
EMBARRASSING YOU?

YEAH, ONE
MORE TIME, OKAY?

WE'RE NOT EMBARRASSING
YOU, ARE WE?

YOU WANT ME TO DO IT ONE
MORE TIME TO SHOW YOU-- OKAY.

OH, MOM'S
GONNA DO IT.

- YEAH, MOM, I DON'T THINK--
- YOU WANT ME TO DO IT WITH YOU?

TOWANDA, WE DON'T WANNA
BAR-- EMBARRASS HER.

- OKAY.
- TOWANDA'S JUST LIKE HER MOM.

YES, I WAS A TYRANT IN
TEACHING THEM HOW TO SING

BECAUSE THEY HAD TO
DO IT RIGHT, OKAY?

I'M BETTER NOW THAT
I'VE GOTTEN OLDER.

HOLD YOUR PASSE.

POINT AND CLOSE.

BIG ARABESQUE.

STEP AND CLOSE.

- DO IT WITH ME.
- BOURREE.

AND TURN.

GOOD--
HANDS ON YOUR HIPS.

YOU'RE SILLY.

YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY
ENJOYING WATCHING BROOKE,

BUT IT'S MORE ENJOYABLE
STANDING BESIDE HER

TO ENCOURAGE HER THAT SHE'S
DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB.

AND TO SEE HER BROTHER
SUPPORTING HER, TOO,

THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY.

POINT, BIG CURTSEY.

GOOD!

THAT WAS THE
WHOLE FAMILY INVOLVED.

YAY!

- SO, WHAT'S GOING ON?
- WHAT?

WITH YOU?

HOW'S YOUR DAY GOING?

BEFORE WE PUT MONEY DOWN
ON THE CLOTHING LOCATION,

I NEED TO TALK WITH
GABE ABOUT OUR FINANCES

AND THE FACT THAT I'M TRYING
TO SPLIT THE OWNERSHIP FIVE WAYS

WITH MY SISTERS.

I JUST DON'T THINK
GABE UNDERSTANDS

HOW MUCH I WANT MY SISTERS
INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT.

WE'VE DONE
A LOT OF LEGWORK.

YOU KNOW, TALKING TO
THE BANK AND, YOU KNOW,

AND LOOKING
AT LOCATIONS.

AND, YOU KNOW,
THE GIRLS WANNA BE A PART.

HMM.

I THINK IT'S--
IT'D BE A GREAT IDEA

TO HAVE IT AS
A FAMILY VENTURE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT THAT, HONESTLY.

'CAUSE WE'VE DONE--
- WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE'VE
DONE A LOT OF THE WORK.

TO ME, IT WON'T BE WORTH IT
FOR EVERYBODY TO BE PART OF IT

BECAUSE THE INVESTMENT
OF IT ALL

IS GONNA BE DIVIDED
AMONG FIVE PEOPLE,

AND IT REALLY WON'T--
IT WON'T BE WORTH IT FOR US

TO BE DOIN'
ALL THAT WORK,

AND WE'RE ONLY GETTIN' A
LITTLE BIT A PIECE OF THE PIE.

GABE FEELS A LOT OF OWNERSHIP
IN THE CLOTHING STORE

BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST
TOLD HIM ABOUT THE IDEA,

HE IMMEDIATELY STARTED
ON THE GROUNDWORK,

LIKE GETTING
A BUSINESS PLAN TOGETHER,

AND LOOKING
AT LOCATIONS,

AND EVEN APPLYING
FOR A BANK LOAN.

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?
- I DON'T KNOW-- I'M NOT--

THAT WE TAKE 50%
AND GIVE THEM TEN EACH?

I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IN
MIXING FAMILY AND BUSINESS.

PERIOD.
- YOU'RE SERIOUS?

YES, I'M SERIOUS.

I COME FROM A FAMILY-- WE
WORK TOGETHER ALL OF OUR LIVES,

SO THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN
A PART OF OUR FAMILY.

SO, YOU CAN'T SAY
THAT BUSINESS AND--

THAT YOU'D RATHER NOT
DO BUSINESS WITH FAMILY.

I'VE BEEN DOING BUSINESS
WITH MY FAMILY MY WHOLE LIFE.

YOU'RE ALWAYS
THE NICE PERSON.

YOU'RE ALWAYS THE PERSON, "OKAY,
WELL, LET ME LET EVERYBODY

"HAVE A PIECE
OF THE PIE.

"LET ME SHARE THIS WITH
EVERY"-- BUT, EVERYBODY ELSE,

LIKE ALL THE OTHER SISTERS,

NOBODY'S SHARING ANY OF
THEIR PIECES OF PIE, REALLY.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

AND YOU EXPECT PEOPLE, IN
GENERAL, NOT JUST YOUR FAMILY,

TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

BUT, A LOT OF TIMES,
THEY DON'T.

BUT, AT THE END OF THE DAY,
THEY ARE FAMILY.

YES.

- SO, THAT'S WHY YOU--
- YOU CAN JUST DISMISS IT.

- I-I CAN, ACTUALLY.
- YEAH.

GABE HAS A BUSINESS MIND

AND IS THINKING
IN TERMS OF MONEY.

SURPRISE-SURPRISE.

BUT, I ALSO SEE THE STORE AS
SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP ME

AND MY SISTERS COME TOGETHER
AND GET OVER OUR ISSUES.

IF I CAN'T DO
THIS WITH THEM,

THEN I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S
EVEN GONNA BE WORTH IT.

I JUST THINK
IT'S DIFFICULT

BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST
A LOT OF PEOPLE.

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO START TRUSTING.

YOU HAVE TO START-YOU
HAVE TO START TRUSTING.

YOU KNOW, AND I WANT
CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.

YOU CAN'T HAVE
CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.

I'VE BEEN TELLING
YOU THAT FOR YEARS.

YOU'VE BEEN TRYING
TO CONTROL ME,

AND IT'S NOT
WORKED YET.
