[bunniefuu]

She dresses like me,

she gets her hair done like me and everything.

Ooh, I should have beat her a*s when she broke

into your house that night.

Wait, what?

[Zac]Previously on Zatima...

This chick is unhinged.

Yeah, she is.

But I got something for her a*s.

I know this b*tch ain't...

[tense music]

I know when someone's lying,

and you're lying about something big.

[suspenseful music]

[Man] Here we go for a break, brother.

Slow down, take your time.

I'm doing good, I'm good.

What's up?

Hey.

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, not today.

Uh-uh, I ain't got time for it today.

Uh-huh. Come on.

Man, we thought you wasn't coming, man.

I had mad babystuff to do, bro.

-Man. -Don't start.

Look, alright, I'm not.

Look, hey, come on, get set in.

Go change, go change.

I don't need to change.

You gonna hit these reps?

I'm gonna hit these reps in this shirt.

-I gotta go. -Okay.

-Okay. -You sure?

-Positive, bro. -I can wait up home, boy.

Come on.

Let's go, let's go. Chop, chop!

-There we go. -Come on.

You gotta watch your head.

There you go.

Ten! Come on, come on, come on!

Ten! Oh, yeah.

That's right.

Whoo!

Stop touching me.

-What is wrong with you? -What?

You've been acting like this since we got here.

Just doing the most, B.

I feel good.

Nobody asked you how you feel.

-Yeah, you acting like a c*ck. -A what?

You know, a male chicken.

A c*ck.

If you don't pause that in this gym right now--

I feel good, okay? I'm like you now.

I finally got the women of my life in check.

I feel like I'm on top of the world.

Can't nobody stop me.

[Zac] Hey, hey, hey!

Man, just chill out, bro.

Hey, if you don't chill out, we leaving.

You don't see all these big-a*s n*gg*s in here?

-Hey, look at me, look at me. -What's up?

-You took something, didn't you? -Oh, yeah.

Got these new testosterone pills.

Oh, yeah.

How many did you take?

It says six every two hours.

Oh, yeah.

You guys want some of those?

n*gga, it says "Two every hours."

Oh.

I read it wrong, I read it wrong.

You--you read it wrong?

How would you read that wrong and just add the two and that?

Gone. You could have died, bro.

You gone, bro.

Oh, shut up, man.

You acting like my mom right now.

Somebody need to go upside your...

Matter of fact, you want me to get old Lori?

-No, I mean, no, please. -Yeah, yeah.

Oh, you was bringing testosterone.

[Zac] Stop touching me!

You see what I'm saying?

We're looking for Zachary Taylor?

[Zac] What are they looking for me for?

I don't know.

Oh, I don't know either.

Who is that?

We know you're here, Zachary Taylor.

Psst. Psst.

Here he is. Right here.

n*gga!

Are you serious right now?

You Zachary Taylor?

I guess.

-You're under arrest. -Oh my God.

-For what? -Do not resist.

I'm not resisting! Wha--

-Hey, call Fatima. -Okay.

This is crazy, I didn't do nothing!

You're being arrested for being a sexy daddy.

-[laughing] -[Woman] Oh!

-[Nathan] Oh, God! -[music playing]

Oh, yeah.

What is--what is going on here?

Oh, no, no, no.

Are you-- Hey, stop filming!

Fatima, I have nothing to do with this.

I have nothing--no.

I'm going to k*ll you.

Okay, okay, okay.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

He's clearly uncomfortable.

Ladies, can y'all remove the cuffs, please?

-[Nathan] Oh. -Thank you.

Look, Zac, I know it's a surprise,

but we didn't know where else to get you without,

I mean, you know.

Yeah, we had to get you away

from the missus for this one, you know?

-[Tony] Yeah. -Bro, this sh*t is crazy.

-It gets crazier. -[laughing]

We're kidnapping you for the whole day.

-What? No. -Mm-hmm.

Fatim--

That's not possible, bro.

Today's the maternity sh**t.

Oh, sh**t! Yo, I forgot about that.

You didn't forget, we didn't know.

On maternity, that technically means

you don't gotta be there.

Stop touching me.

And yes, I have to be there, you idiot.

And you think I want my pregnant wife to see this?

Wait, wait, wait. Pregnant wife?

Uh-uh, see, y'all trying to get this man straight k*lled.

You said that this was "for a zaddy."

Yeah.

A "zaddy", Zac, not a real-a*s pa--

You got them calling me zaddy!

Fatima said I can't be called "Zaddy Zac", bro.

Oh, come on, bro, she turned that down?

We made shirts and everything.

Why--why she can run everything?

You know what? She's not even your wife yet.

Oh, okay, Nate.

Now's not the time for semantics.

Zac, Zac, look, we're sorry.

-Don't touch me. -[Tony] We're sorry.

Don't touch me.

Number one, she don't run everything.

Okay, second of all, Nate, this is just crazy.

Why y'all getting strippers for a father-to-be?

-That's weird. -It's not weird.

Strippers are for every occasion.

[Zac] Okay, okay, okay.

First of all, hey, young ladies,

can y'all just come back a little bit, please?

You know that pregnant wife we're talking about?

Yeah, she's hormonal, and she carry.

She might just walk by, start busting at everybody.

And you can't shake t*tties if they got holes in them, right?

Okay, so y'all might want to back away from me.

I'm dangerous, all right?

Thank you.

Why y'all really doing this?

Come on, Zac.

You know once the baby gets here,

you're not gonna have time to hang out with us.

It's already happening, man.

Yeah, I mean, you so caught up

in being a great husband, great father.

I mean, you don't have time for us, Z.

Hey, we're proud of you, man.

-Like, for real. -Yeah.

We're happy for you.

But, you know, we just wanted to have

one last big bang before you, you know, disappear.

I'm not gonna disappear on y'all, bro.

Yeah, you are. It's okay.

Y'all really feel that neglected?

Okay, wait, this is pathetic.

Y'all some grown-a*s men.

[Nathan] Hey, ma'am.

-Men have feelings, too. -Yeah.

-Oh. -[Zac] Hey, hey.

This is the last time I'm gonna tell you, miss.

-She carrying. -You have to back up.

[Zac] She be popping up.

She--[imitates g*nshots] everybody in here.

She not sh**ting me, that's you.

That's you.

Thank you.

How about this?

We X the strippers,

and y'all come to the maternity sh**t.

Oh, my...

Hold up. So, you for real?

I'm--listen, I think it's important

that the godfathers be at the maternity sh**t.

We?

-You making us both godfathers? -Oh.

-Yes. -I'm a godfather.

I'm a godfather!

I made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

-Okay. -I should've just made you...

That would have made more sense.

[Nathan] You want some? I'll get you a whack.

-[indistinct] -Nathan, stop.

-No more testosterone. -Oh, sh*t.

Um, is stripping in public ill*gal?

-Should be. -Hell, yeah.

Oh, sh*t.

Come on, ladies! Come on, take your t*tties!

Grab the t*tties! Let's go, let's go.

[Zac] I'm not with them.

I'm not with them!

[music]

-Hey, girl. -Hey.

You are working like crazy.

Did you even stop for lunch?

Oh, my gosh. I forgot.

I'm sorry, I've been so slow at work.

-You ready? -Fatima, I just got back.

Oh, okay. Good.

-Girl. -What?

-Where are you going? -I gotta go meet Sayge.

Fatima... what about the photo sh**t?

Girl, I know.

I just... [sighs]

You are doing too much.

I know, I know.

But I can do both, I can.

[Angela] Fatima, you doing too much.

-And you need to eat. -I know, girl.

But Sayge's case is getting more and more complicated.

I got so much to do.

And then I want this photo sh**t to be perfect.

And Zac is messing up the baby shower.

Okay. Fatima, Fatima.

Girl, breathe. Breathe.

You need to calm down, okay?

-You doing too much. -I have to.

No, you don't.

We're all here to help you.

Stop stressing yourself out.

[sighs] You're right.

-You're right. -[sighs]

Look, you go meet Sayge,

and I'll bring you something to the sh**t.

You can do that?

Oh, my God. That'd be perfect.

You can just pick me up a sandwich and some chips.

I'm gonna get you a salad and some salmon.

That baby needs some omega-.

Okay.

Why is everybody trying to tell me what to do?

Uh, all right, Fatima.

Who you yelling at?

No, it's you, Zac, my mom and dad.

Everyone's trying to tell me what to do.

I mean, Zac, I can barely even walk with him.

Damn, girl. I'm sorry.

[sighs] Look, it's not--

I'm not handicapped, I'm just pregnant.

[Angela] I know.

Look, I know there's things I can't and shouldn't do,

but at least I can order my own lunch.

You right.

I'm sorry, I overstepped.

Thank you.

[Angela] But...

You know we just doing it out of love.

Yeah, well, I need a little less love, okay?

-Fatima. -No, I'm serious.

Look, I just want to know that my opinions matter,

that I can make my own choices.

When that baby comes,

I'm gonna lose my whole identity.

-No, you won't, Fatima. -Yes, I am, Angela.

-That's what happens. -[Angela] No, it's not.

Okay?

And it's Zac's job to make sure that you don't.

-You gonna make sure of that? -Mm-hmm, exactly.

So what you tripping for?

I don't know.

It's--It's just a lot.

Honey, you should enjoy

everybody bending over backwards for you.

Hell, this whole thing got me wanting to get knocked up.

I'm sure Bryce would love that.

Girl, ain't nobody say nothing about no damn Bryce.

-Shawn? -Slow down.

Can we get through our first date first?

Okay.

Yeah.

I owe Zac an apology.

What did you do?

Girl, I yelled at him this morning.

Yesterday morning.

sh*t, and the morning before that.

-Fatima! -[sighs]

I know. He was just getting on my nerves.

But now I know he was just trying to help.

Well, then you better go apologize.

I will.

And look...

Don't worry about the photo sh**t.

Belinda gonna come through.

Yeah, I hope so. We gonna see.

And don't worry about that baby shower either,

because I got you.

Yeah, I'm still gonna talk to him about that.

No. We got--

He--He got this.

You just mind your damn business, okay?

Like what? Okay.

Not my business.

But, look, I'm gonna let you get back to work,

and I'll have your sandwich and chips waiting.

You can get a sandwich and a salad, I guess.

Oh, okay. Good girl.

All right. See you later, girl.

-Thank you. -I got you.

[Fatima sighs]

[soft music]

So, well, this is the space.

It's not big, but...

-It's perfect. -[Fatima] Yeah.

The owner said that they can shut the place down,

and he's not even charging as much as I thought he would.

He probably just wants me to post it on my page.

[Fatima laughs]

Probably, but you're not legally obligated to, so...

I don't mind.

I'll post something the night of.

-No problem. -Okay, that's cool.

That's cool.

Oh, my sound engineer is also gonna be my sound guy.

So he should meet with the manager to make sure

they have everything they need for the show.

Okay. Yeah, well, I mean, they have everything you need

for an amazing live performance, but be sure to double-check.

All you need to do is bring yourself and your entourage.

-[chuckles] -Bet.

Make sure all your people here, too.

Girl, I haven't even told them yet.

They're gonna flip out.

They're gonna go crazy.

Oh, oh.

So they have everything.

I did bring my own mic.

Girl, I wouldn't expect less.

It's platinum.

-Damn, okay. -What?

-I am Sayge. -You are, you are.

You know, if I was to sing,

I probably would have a solid gold diamond-studded microphone.

-You sing? -Maybe.

What you mean, "maybe"?

[laughs] Okay, I do.

But?

But I chose something a bit more stable.

-A dream deferred. -Yeah.

I mean, it's a dream, but...

[sighs]

-But what? -I don't know.

I guess I just did what I was supposed to do.

What was expected of you.

Yeah.

I can relate.

Let me guess.

Graduatesumma c*m laude, head of your Psi Alpha Dappa

something sorority,

hung all your degrees up on the wall,

and got the J-O-V that made the folks proud

of their little angel.

Mmm.

-You been spying on me? -Girl, no.

If my mama wasn't a singer,

I probably would have went down the same path.

-Want to know something crazy? -What?

Sometimes... I wish I did go down that path.

Have a life I could depend on?

Not this crazy industry madness.

I mean, but... you are an international superstar.

Who didn't realize that her father basically owned her.

-Yeah, that's true. -Yeah, yeah...

There's good and bad in it all, I guess.

Yeah.

I guess we all want what we don't have.

Ain't that the truth.

Okay, let's look at the boring documents.

Okay, so why it gotta be boring at the gate?

-Come on. -Okay, okay, okay.

Let's peruse the important paperwork.

Now that's more like it.

[chuckles]

All right, let's look at Article A.

You should understand all this.

[soft music]

There you are.

Girl, this traffic.

It's Atlanta, you already know.

Where's Belinda?

Uh...

Well, she's gonna be here any minute. Okay?

Angela, you know this is the last thing I need.

It's fine, she said she's on her way, okay?

-[sighs] -She's gonna be here.

-Okay. -Don't stress.

I'm not stressed, I'm just mad as hell.

It's always something.

Yeah, I mean, and we gonna find that girl

who stole your deposit and beat her a*s.

It's fine. It's just annoying.

Yeah, you know these Atlanta hairstylists.

They always...

Somebody called for a superhero hairstylist?

-You made it. -Of course, hoe.

I hope I don't regret this.

We didn't really have a choice, Fatima.

Okay. Girl, look at you.

You're glowing.

-Hey, Belinda. -Hey.

Glad you got here so fast.

Well, all right.

Let's see what you got going on.

Girl, come on.

-Thank you for coming. -Of course.

You really did save the day.

You know I wasn't gonna let my girls down.

Easy. Okay.

-[sighs] -All right.

Let's see what we got going on here.

[sighs]

-Ooh. -Oh.

Do not start.

Jesus, take the wheel.

-Is that bad? -It just stink.

Girl, you still glowing.

A beacon of light, girl.

Um...so what was you thinking?

Just fix it. I don't know.

I know it's-- it stinks for real?

-Yeah. -[Angela] Yeah.

I smell it from here.

-We can do a wash and reset it? -[Belinda] Yeah.

Let's, um...

We'll do a nice wash and style.

Um...how about we do it, like, you know,

exaggerated a little bit with a side piece

and frame them chubby little cheeks and--

-Chubby cheeks? -Yes.

Little baby fat look good on you.

-Everybody can't do that. -You know what?

Okay. Belinda, maybe less talk and just--just work.

-Okay. -Yeah.

I'm sorry, I've been a little hyped up lately.

Y'all don't wanna know why?

Why, Belinda?

I think I'ma tell Nathan I'm in love with him.

What?

-What? -Belinda.

-What? -[sighs]

He's married.

Girl, they separated.

Yeah, but Belinda, "separated" is still married.

Right.

Okay, but he came to my house.

He been staying with me, booed up with me every night.

No, Belinda.

That just makes him a hobosexual.

-But he's still married. -Mm-hmm.

From what I know,

Zac said he's getting back with Lori, so...

Whatever.

That's what he's saying.

He told me he don't even love her.

-Belinda. -What?

-You know what? -What you doing?

That's why I can't fool with you.

Belinda, you have no respect for anyone's relationship.

Okay, this can't still be about me and Zac.

No.

It's about Zac, his homeboy Nathan,

and Edwin in college.

Who is it? What?

You remember the girl you had to fight

because you f*cked her boyfriend in college?

-[Angela] Yeah. -Yeah.

Girl, you got an OPP problem.

Yeah, and you need to stay the hell away from my PP.

Oh, that didn't come out alright.

-Your PP? -No, no, that works.

Double entendre.

What are we talking about?

Stay the hell away from Zac.

That's what I'm saying.

Fatima, calm down. Okay?

-You're pregnant. -[Belinda] Yes.

[Belinda] Yees. Girl, calm down.

And while you at it,

stay away from all of my men, too,

because women like you suck.

You have no respect for the sister code.

Okay, hold up.

Me and Zac slept together way before you met--

Okay, you know what?

Don't ever bring that sh*t up again.

-I'm serious. -Fatima, you're pregnant, okay?

Yes, girl, you need to calm down.

Ain't nobody worry about Zac's little peanut head a*s.

Okay?

Yeah, girl.

This ain't about Zac.

[sighs] I know, but what if...

What if what?

[sighs] I mean,

what if Zac doesn't like my baby fat?

And then he runs across a girl like you

who doesn't care about marriage.

And then leaves me and the baby for her.

Fatima.

-Belinda. -What?

Fix it.

[sighs] Look, Fatima,

What I did that night with Zac, I...

I was tripping, okay?

You should've seen how Zac was in here

trying to get me off of him, girl!

You would've thought I had the plague!

That man wasn't having it for one second.

He loves Fatima.

Keep it...

All right.

I've been with dudes, Fatima, okay?

Dudes that step out on their women.

And they got a vibe. Zac don't have that.

He's all about you.

I'm not gonna lie to you

and tell you everything gonna be perfect,

because it's not.

You're gonna be tested, and you can't prevent that sh*t.

But what you can do is

walk into this knowing that you got a man, a real man.

And he don't just love you, he respects your a*s.

Okay?

And you got a friend that... loves you.

And that made a mistake.

And she won't ever cross you like that again.

Okay?

-Okay? -So just breathe, Fatima.

[sighs] Okay. Look, I'm sorry.

-It's just... -It's okay.

My hormones are all over the place.

Look, I know you might not be ready to forgive me,

but I'm here to save the day, okay?

It's all about you and this...

this beautiful family that you're making.

[footsteps approaching]

Just...think about that.

Okay.

Somebody say "hormones"?

Hey, baby.

You're here early.

I couldn't stay away from my baby and my baby too long.

Thank you, baby.

You was crying?

Um, no.

Uh, Belinda and I were... just in the middle of making up.

Wait, what?

What?

Yeah.

Girl, now you about to make me cry.

I'm gonna cry too!

[chuckles]

I guess I'll cry too.

Get your a*s-- Come on!

I'm just... I'm...

[indistinct]

Okay.

-Are you okay? -Yeah, I am.

I forgive you.

Thank you.

But I will never forget.

-And I respect you, too. Okay? -All right.

Now, enough of this little huggy sh*t, all this crying.

Let's get you done up, girl.

We got to have this baby shower sh**t.

What it is? What they call it?

-Maternity? -Maternity.

Maternity.

You ain't going to never worry

about no sh*t like that from me again, okay?

Oh, I know I won't, because you won't be breathing.

-Okay. -[Fatima sighs]

-You look good. -Thank you.

[Tony] How you feeling? You excited?

-Absolutely. -[Tony] Yeah.

[people laughing]

[chuckling]

The two of you look great.

When are you getting the pictures back?

Um...

They're doing retouches now, so...

should only take a minute.

Ain't too much to retouch on my baby.

And my baby.

Aww!

I just cannot believe that

my girl is about to be somebody's mom.

No, girl. Wow.

Yeah, I'm still pinching myself.

You know this could be you, too, if you want it.

Uh, baby steps.

Let me get past this date with Sean first, okay?

-All right. -All right.

-[laughs] -[Fatima] Zach.

-Mm? -Go pick that up.

-[stutters] -[indistinct]

Go pick it up.

Oh, Fatima.

Um, am I going to do your hair for the baby shower, too?

-You know you are. -Okay.

-'Cause you look good. -Thank you.

-[indistinct] -It was bad.

What are you-- what you sweating over here for?

-I'm not sweating. -Yeah, you are.

Why is Belinda here?

Oh, she and Fatima made up, so.

But why is she here?

I just told you.

-She and Fatima made up. -Yeah.

I mean, she did Fatima's hair for the sh**t.

-Yeah. -And Fatima looks beautiful.

But why is Belinda here right now?

I'm not understanding this riddle that you're doing, Nate.

Zac, I made a huge mistake.

Lori is on her way here right now.

What?

Why--why would Lori be on her way here?

[sighs] She said she wanted to fix our marriage.

So I was like, "Yeah, let's--let's--

we can go to Zac's house and we can talk there."

-n*gga, what?! -Yo, seriously, Nate.

Why would you do something like that?

I don't know.

[knocking on door] Oh, sh*t.

[chatter]

-You expecting something? -Oh, I'll get it.

-Okay, thank you. -It's probably a package.

He been ordering all that stuff for the baby.

[clears throat]

You gotta f*cking pray.

You better pray.

[frantic chatter]

Get Fatima's g*n. Get Fatima's g*n.

Are you kidding me?

Oh, hello.

Hey, uh, is Nathan here?

Yeah, he's right over there.

Oh.

Um... hm.

[in unison] Hey, Lori!

Hey.

What's going on?

Girl, you know who that is?

I thought you said it was just gonna be me, you,

Zac, and Fatima.

I thought so.

[sighs]

Look, I'm glad you're here.

I invited Lori here because, um,

we have a lot of knives in our house and,

you know, baseball bats,

and she knows that the dirt in the backyard is soft.

I know we have a basement that's unifinished--

Because we have acrimony,

experts say we should meet on mutual ground.

But I ain't know y'all was having a party.

I didn't either, baby.

Lori, um, hey, it's not a party.

Zac and I just had our maternity sh**t,

and we just had everybody over.

Congratulations. You look beautiful, Fatima.

-Um... -Thank you.

-So do you. -[sighs] Thanks.

So this your wife, Nathan?

-Mm-mm. -Mm-mm.

And you are?

Oh, Nathan, you didn't tell her?

Huh?

I didn't even know you was still here, Belinda.

Shut up. Boy, tell her.

-Belinda. -Tell me what?

[no audible dialogue]

[Lori] Tell me what, Nathan?

[Belinda] He ain't gonna tell you.

But I will.

While y'all been going through y'all little separation thing,

he been on my couch and in my bed.

-Oh, oh! -Oh!

-What up, b*tch? -Oh, oh, oh.

[knocking on door]

[knocking on door]

Yo, y'all be quiet back there.

Stop running around.

Read a book.

[sighs]

[knocking on door]

I'm coming. Hold on.

[suspenseful music]

[door closing]

[suspenseful music]

Who are you?
