02x02 - Guilt Trip

[bunniefuu]

[Zac] What's wrong with the sex?

[Fatima] It's just too much.

Previously onZatima...

First of all, I don't have
a problem.

Okay, well, have any of
the other women you dealt with

ever said
that you wanted too much?

If that's his sexual appetite,

it's no wonder one woman
cannot please him.

Mama been asking about you, man.

I just don't know
what you been telling her.

Like, after all this time,
she want to see me.

She just wants you to come by
and come see her.

- Can I help you ladies out?
- [Angela] Yes, you can.

I can get it done.
I'm very good at what I do.

I think I thought of something
that would help both of us out.

Zac, I want you
to have a side chick.

Did you hear me?

Yeah, I heard you.

Look, baby, I don't know
what else to do, I just...

Fatima, are you kidding me
right now?

No, I'm not.

You cappin'.

No, Zac, I'm dead serious.

No, you not.
You not serious right now.

I'm serious, Zac.
I don't know

how much more
I can take of this.

It's a lot.

I know what this is.

- I know what this is.
- [Fatima] What?

You wanna see other people.

- No.
- That's what it is.

- You want to see other people.
- No.

And you want
me to agree to it first.

- So that's what you wanna do.
- No.

I know how this goes.
Come on, that's what you want.

- Zac, that is not...
- Who is he? Who is he?

What are you talking about?

I know you, Fatima.

You not with this
whole open relationship thing.

"Open relation..."
No, no, no, see,

who ever said anything
about an open relationship?

I said a side chick.

That's what a side chick is,
isn't it?

Zac, I don't know
what else to do.

Do you have any other solutions?

Who are you and what did you do
with the real Fatima?

Like, I'm lost.

Baby, I'm right here.

I'm serious. This is a lot.

Six times on Saturday.

Three to four times other days.

I'm a man,
what you want me to do?

Schedule my erections?
Like, I can't help that.

No, babe, I want you
to pace yourself.

Can you do that?

Pace myself how?

You know what?

I picked one out for you.

Wait, no, no, no. Stop, stop.

- Do you want her or not?
- Stop.

Fatima, you dead serious?
You not playing no games?

- [Fatima] I'm not playing...
- You not setting me up?

I'm not setting you up.
Do you want her or not?

Not gonna say no.

What you mean
you not gonna say no?

See, see?

Look at how fast you changed.

You was all "I got you,"
and then the minute I...

All right, look,

I already picked her out.
Do you want to see or not?

What is happening right now?
I don't...

You stay right here.
I'm gonna go get her.

And I'll let you decide.
All right?

Just stay right here.

- You serious?
- [Fatima] Dead serious.

[unintelligible]

She better look dirty, too.

- [Fatima] Mm-hm.

I went to the sex store today
and I got you this gift.

I think she's perfect.

"Discreetly designed,

and comes with
its very own travel case."

Keep reading it.

"Add warm water,

Why... Why would I f*ck this

'Cause you f*cking this up.

- Seriously?
- Yes.

Which part?

- What?
- The top or the bottom?

- Stop it.
- I'm just, I'm being honest.

What am...

Zac, what you gonna do
is go take a cold shower,

okay, and then run you
some warm water.

Put it in here.

And use it, right?
Try your girl out.

- Wow.
- Mm-hmm.

Before I proposed to you...

Don't even say it.

You used to be thotting it up.

On the table,
under the table, car,

sink, under the sink,

in the closet,
on top of the closet.

We even did it in the back.

- Yeah.
- On top of the awning.

All that, and now you bring me
a Side p*ssy?

This ain't gonna work for me,
like, I'm sorry.

Look how hard this is.

How am I supposed to without...

- Zac.
- Come on. Come on. No.

Look, Zac, I'm gonna have dinner
tonight, all right,

and I'm going to bed.

Are you serious?

[Fatima] I'm dead serious.
I need a break.

Wow.

Well, what are we eating?

Oh, I got takeout.

So you brought home takeout
and a p*ssy?

Yeah. Two. Two pussies.

But that one right there,
you can use anytime you want.

Just wear it out.
[laughs]

This is all funny to you, huh?

No, look, babe,

I thought long and hard about
where we can meet in the middle.

And this is the middle.

I be thinking long and hard
about meeting in the middle too.

See, you're already hard
just thinking about it.

Have you seen yourself?

Zac, okay, you know what?

I'm about to get dinner ready.
You get ready, okay?

You about to get dinner ready?

- What, you gonna warm it up?
- Yeah.

My n*gg*s don't get engaged,
bet.

I already got this, so we good.

[mocking laughter]

[Fatima] Shut up.

You quiet.

Dinner, fail.

p*ssy, fail.

It's a plastic fork.

- It's been a long day.
- It's... takeout.

Well, did you see Bryce today?

Another fail. Yeah.

[Fatima] How did that go?

Awkward as sh*t.

Well, you know you gotta talk
to him at some point, right?

I know.

Oh, I forgot to tell you,

coming out of work today,
I had a flat.

So why didn't you call me?

Well, I was fixing it,

and then this guy
on the construction crew came,

and he said he'd fix it for me,
so...

Yeah.

You know, you gotta call me
for stuff like that.

Why didn't you just call me?

Babe, wasn't that serious.

[Zac] Yeah, but I would've cae
and fixed it.

It's fine, babe.

I'm never too busy
to just be there for you.

Like, why you won't let me
do stuff?

I don't know. I'm sorry.

Just like that?

Just like what?

You're upset.

No, I'm not.

Well, you barely ate.

You ain't give me nothing
I want to eat.

Stop it.

- I'm serious.
- Zac, don't do that.

How long you want me to wait?

Babe, this isn't about time.

So then what is it about?

It's about pacing yourself.

Look, I'm not a machine.

I'm not either.

That thing is.

Fatima, let me ask you
a serious question.

- Zac...
- No, seriously.

Do you like it?

[Fatima] Babe, I love it.

So am I doing something wrong?

No.

So then why don't you want it?

Babe, look, when you about
to get yours,

and you look me in my eyes,

ooh, yeah, don't do that.

That sh*t is so sexy.

Yeah, not that.

You looking a little
c*ck-eyed right now, but...

I'm just playing. Come on.
Come on, Fatima.

Babe, I love it. I do.
I really do.

But babe, you want it so much.

I've never had a man
want it this much.

Your testosterone
is through the roof.

And I just need a break.

Okay. So what am I
supposed to do?

Like, I'm just...
I don't understand.

- What?
- What am I supposed to do

when we don't have
all this time?

Like, you about to go
to law school, right?

Yes, babe, and with that
and work,

I'm not gonna have time
to have all this sex, so...

That's what I'm saying.

I'm trying to make up
for the time we gonna lose.

Like, what do you want me to do?

I want you to use that time
to get used to her.

You know what?

I hate to say it,

but it's like,
now that you got me,

you seem like you changing.

Zac, I'm not changing.

- You are.
- No, it's been a lot.

It was a lot then.

So why didn't you say anything?

I was just waiting to see
how far it would go

and hoping that you wouldn't
want me so much.

Are you serious?

That's not fair.

That's not fair.

It's just a lot.

So you want me to want you,

but you want me to want you
when you want me to want you?

And in the times
that I want you,

I'm supposed to do what,
use this thing?

Yes.
[cellphone vibrating]

Who is it?

It's my brother.

And what does he want?

I told him I'd go see
my mother tonight.

[whispering] I don't know
why I did that.

- Your mother?
- Yeah.

You don't really talk
about your mother much.

'Cause she's a f*cked-up person.

She let a lot of bad sh*t
happen to me,

and now that I got money,
she want to come around.

She ain't give a sh*t
about me before.

You should go see her.

Why? It's gonna be
the same bullshit.

Zac, she has a problem.

So? She not gonna change.

Look, all I'm saying is

you don't want something
to happen to her

and you didn't get to say
your piece.

Fatima, I'm not doing that.

I'm not doing that.

You want me to go with you?

You and my mother?

[Fatima] Yeah.

That'll be all bad.
I'm not doing that.

- You sure?
- I'm positive.

Speaking of which, when am I
gonna meet your mother

and your father?

Hm?

"Hm?"

Um, soon.

"Soon."
Why you say it like that?

Um...

I may or may not have told them
about you yet.

Wow. Wow.

Wow.

But I'm gonna see them
this weekend, babe.

- Just...
- Wow.

I just want to tell them
in person.

So we've been engaged,
and you haven't told them

about me yet?

Baby, it just all happened
so fast.

Look, I told you
how they are, all right?

They like things done
a specific way,

especially my mom.

I mean, if she knew
I was living here,

it'd be hell to pay.

And so? You grown.

You know what? Let's not talk
about my parents.

There you go.

- Just go see your mama.
- There you go.

Fine, I'm gonna go see her
just because you said.

- Thank you. I love you.
- [Zac] Don't be thanking me.

I love you too,
but don't be thanking me.

Unless you want to thank me.

You're pushing it.

But I do love you. Okay.

Trying to push it.

You want to take your girl
with you?

Stop playing with me, Fatima.

- Give her a little spin.
- Stop. Stop.

That's not even funny.
I'm not touching that thing.

You know what? I'm gonna put
some warm water in it for you.

Fatima, don't put no water
in that... Fatim...

[Fatima] I just want you
to try it.

- You dead seriou...
- [Fatima] Yes.

Ooh, baby,

What could she possibly squirt?

[Fatima] Water.

Girl, you have to talk to him
at some point.

[Angela] Well, hopefully,
I get a flat tomorrow.

What?

Yeah, so I can have that
fine-a*s man come fix it.

Angela.

[Angela] What? Girl, you know

[Fatima] Okay!

[Angela] Look, don't act

[Angela] Girl, please, you know
he was looking at you.

Well, I think he had enough
on him.

You know he was.

I know, Angela.

Look, let's just hope
he fixes it, all right?

Look, Zac was definitely upset
that I didn't call him.

Just like you said.

[Angela] Yeah. Exactly.

I know.

I gotta do better about that

and let him do his thing.

Did you have that sex talk
with him?

Yeah, we did,
and it did not go well.

[Angela] sh*t.

Hey, um, let me...
Let me call you back.

[Angela] What is it?

- [Angela] Okay, bye.
- Bye, girl.

[Fatima] Hey.

Hey.

What's... What's going on?

[Zac] I'll be inside in a minute

Babe, what happened?

No, I don't want to
talk about it.

[Fatima] Zac.

Babe, what is it?

Fatima, you love me?

Yes.

You sure?

[Fatima] Baby, yes, I love you.

I just... I think
you need to talk to somebody.

I'm not doing that sh*t, man.

Zac.

The things that your mother
did to you are awful.

And, honestly, babe,

I don't know how to change
or combat that.

When your own mother
don't give a sh*t about you,

man, that's just...

Zac, I'm not her. I'm not.

Babe. And I am not
the things that she did to you.

Look, I know.

Look.

We are going to find
somebody to talk to, okay?

I don't like
seeing you like this.

It's okay.

Zac.

We're talking about
starting a family together

and being together forever.

Okay, and in order
to enter that,

we need all the tools
that we need to be okay.

- All right. I'll find somebody.
- [Fatima] Okay.

Come on.

Let's go in the house.

Yeah, I'm just gonna
stay in here for a little bit.

Okay. You can do that.

[Zac] You gotta be up
in the morning, you go inside.

Zac, I will sit here with you
as long as it takes.

I'm not leaving you.

Okay?

She left me.

Say what?

When I was six.

[Fatima] Zac.

I was at the gas station.

In the front.

I couldn't find her.
I was frantic.

I was just screaming,
"Ma! Ma!"

I was lost.

I stumbled in the back.

I saw her.

She was with a trucker.

She was giving him head.

I saw it.

I was saying, "Ma, Ma."

She ain't even stopped
when she heard me.

[Fatima] Zac, I don't...

And today, she left me again.

I took her to the store.

I gave her $100.

She snuck out the back door.

f*ck.

[Fatima] Come here, baby.
I got you, Zac. I got you.

I got you.

I got you, baby. I got you.
It's okay.

I got you.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.
I got you, baby, it's okay.

I got you, Zac.
