I'm sorry.
[Paul] No, I, uh...
To be honest, I kinda saw this coming.
What?
You mad at him, aren't you?
Yeah, I am.
[Paul]I get it.
And?
I mean, I know what this is.
I've been through therapy.
Yeah, me too.
-What, you have? -[Fatima] Yeah.
For years in my late s.
What for?
A lot of anger and frustration.
Uh, same.
It really helps, you know?
Yeah. I know it does.
Especially in situations like this, you know,
it helps you think clear.
Yeah, it really does.
[Paul] Yeah.
So being that we're both, you know, well-versed
and thinking clearly,
we can just let go and...
Paul, just hold on.
Look, you are, you are a beautiful man.
I mean, your face, your smile,
[exhaling] your body.
But I would be using you.
Okay, so use me.
No, I ca...
I'm serious.
-[Fatima] Stop it. -I don't give a damn.
You call me his name if you want to.
Will you stop?
I'm serious. Use me up.
No, I can't because...
[Paul sighing] Because I'm not him.
No, you're not.
No.
And you know I'm never gonna be him.
Yeah.
I'm glad you know that.
Look, this is just all too soon.
Okay, so, um...
You want me to leave?
No, I don't,
but I don't wanna do this.
All right, so what you wanna do?
You wanna sit around and talk about him?
I don't wanna do that either.
Okay, good, because, you know, I'm cool
up until a certain point, and then, you know...
[Paul chuckling] Paul.
No, I'm just... It just sucks
'cause, you know, we have so much in common.
I feel like we're so good for each other, you know?
We like the same music.
And what about you and him?
I mean, it's different.
[Paul] Yeah. It's different, you see?
You and I, we love theater. He hates it.
Yeah, he doesn't like that at all.
Even stuff like self-help books, you know,
church sermons on Sundays,
hate it when people chew with their mouth open,
[Paul chuckling]
don't do drugs,
I mean, a little bit of weed, but, you know...
How do you even know all those things?
I picked them up at dinner.
Wow, you even listen.
I like that.
You can't be right for somebody if you don't listen to them
when they trying to tell you something.
Damn.
[Paul] What?
Why do y'all always come around when there's a situation?
Look, this is all just, it's moving too fast.
We just broke up.
Okay, so was it the first one?
First what?
Your first breakup.
You know, there's normally at least three
before it's official.
Unless he did something, of course.
Well, I, um, I do have my deal breakers.
[Paul] Mm.
And he slept with someone.
Oh, sh*t.
[Fatima] Yeah.
And when my trust is gone,
there's no getting that back.
I get it.
And I am a bit drunk.
A lot angry.
Horny and...
And thinking of him.
Will you stop taking the words out of my mouth?
I'm just trying to show you
that there is actually something here.
And that's why you need to go.
All right, I get it.
It's cool.
Sorry.
No, it's fine, really. I mean it.
[door opening] [Angela]Fatima.
Hey.
[Fatima] Hey.
You not answering your phone.
-[Fatima] Oh, um. No. -[Angela] Is it here?
Look, Paul, you got to go.
-[Paul] Yeah. -[Angela] Mm-hmm.
[Paul] I was on my way out.
Um, Angela, what's going on?
Sam, I'll call you, okay?
But both of y'all need to go, right now.
-Right? -[Fatima]Angela.
-[Fatima] What is going on? -Zac is on his way.
Paul, you don't have to leave.
[Angela]Uh, yes, he does.
This is my sh*t and I'm not trying to get it broke,
so y'all need to go.
Wait, wait, if he's gonna be that mad,
maybe we should stay.
Yeah, I don't mind staying, so...
No, no. Y'all got to go. Come on.
But I'm gonna help you 'cause you moving a little slow
Let's go. You put your shirt on in the car.
Ooh, he's strong.
[Fatima] Really?
[Angela] Let's go.
Okay.
It was nice meeting you, Sam.
Yes, okay.
-Girl. -Angela.
You living dangerous. Not in my house.
How do you even know Zac is coming here?
I got a feeling.
[Fatima] Girl, you...
What were y'all in here doing?
Girl, I gotta tell you about it.
Okay.
Any of these m*therf*ckers...
-He's... This is... -Oh, sh*t.
Oh, no.
-Calm down, calm down. She brought him here?
[Zac] Calm down, calm down.
'Sup, bruh?
All right, all right, all right.
Zac, can I talk to you for a minute?
I ain't got sh*t to say to you.
He ain't got sh*t to say to you.
Okay, all right, all right.
Hey, hey.
All right, well, you should know
you ain't got nothing to be mad about, man.
She wants to be with you.
You're a lucky man.
-I know that. -He know that.
Hm? What y'all b*tch-a*s n*gg*s wanna do?
What's up?
[Tony wincing in pain] "b*tch-a*s n*gg*s"?
Yo, yo...
That sh*t is stretched.
They ain't coming back here.
Go home!
You think I can get this stretched out?
Punk-a*s m*therf*cker.
sh*t.
Tell him I went to bed.
Okay.
Look, I told you guys, no one's here.
Stop playing. I heard her.
You didn't hear nothing.
Fatima.
She's not here, Zac.
Fatima, I just wanna talk.
Just go talk to that b*tch you was f*cking.
I wasn't f*cking no b*tch.
-Angela, mind your business. -Zac, just go home.
Fatima!
Fatima, I just wanna talk.
[Angela] Zac.
Yo, yo, come on, bruh.
She don't want to talk to you, bruh.
Please, Fatima, please!
Zac, look, there's always tomorrow...
Fine! Fatima, I love you.
Fatima! Please?
[Angela] If she wanted to talk to you, she would.
All right, come on, bruh.
Hey.
What's up?
Did you get a chance to look at the information?
No, I didn't.
Okay, well, it's an incredible deal, Zac.
[Zac]I know.
So you did look at it?
Yeah, I did. No. Yeah.
Okay, you're in a mood. I'll come back.
I'm not in a mood, Bryce, relax.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah. What's up?
What'd you think about that doctor?
Um. Well, I looked him up.
He's legit.
I think he was right on.
You think I need therapy?
Um.
Well, um, I think that the question is
is, do you think you need therapy?
I don't know.
Everybody said I got issues.
But I think I'm fine.
Well, then maybe everybody else is wrong.
You joking right now?
Zac, I think that you have things
that you could work on,
but a lot of people do,
so, you know, I don't know, man.
I don't wanna get into it.
All right.
Hey, man, laser focus. Okay?
I have one of the best contractors in the city.
He's willing to meet us down at the site.
He's gonna go over the entire property with us,
the lofts. The view is incredible.
I really think that you need to come and see it.
All right. I'm coming.
Thank you, man, thank you.
You're gonna really like it, okay?
I'll text you when he tells me
what time we should meet there, okay?
-Copy. -Okay.
Cool, man.
[cellphone ringing]
-Hello? -[Dr. Reid]Fatima.
Hey, Dr. Reid, what's going on?
[Dr. Reid]I was calling to check on you.
I'm good.
[Dr. Reid]You sure?
[Fatima] Yeah, yeah.
[Dr. Reid]I have a slot open at noon.
You think you can come in and see me?
-I'm sorry, at noon? -[Dr. Reid]Yeah.
Um, what is this about?
[Dr. Reid]I just wanna check on you.
Look, doc, I have done therapy for years.
I'm good, but thank you.
[Dr. Reid]I know that, but I wanna
share some things with you about Zac.
Dr. Reid, I don't wanna know.
[Dr. Reid]Just come. I'll tell you all about it.
Okay, all right, all right.
I'll be there at noon.
[Dr. Reid]Okay, thanks. I'll see you then.
Yeah.
Girl, you look stressed. Who was that?
Dr. Reid.
He wants to tell me something about Zac.
Why?
I don't know, but I did reach out to him first,
so I guess I should at least go.
Are you okay with not talking to him right now?
Yes. It's just gonna take time.
[Angela]Okay.
But he was so pitiful last night.
Look, Angela, as women,
when we set rules for men and they break them,
we gotta make sure they feel that sh*t.
Or they gonna keep doing it over and over and over again.
Trust me, I know.
Okay.
I can deal with a lot, baby mamma drama, all that.
I do it, clearly.
But a man lying to me and cheating on me,
I can't do that.
So f*ck Zac and all his begging. I'm done.
Okay.
I mean, I wish I could stick to my rules like you.
Look, if we keep letting them get away with it,
when will they ever change, huh?
So you want him to change?
For some other woman 'cause I'm done.
Fatima.
Look, I'm going out with Paul again tonight.
You... Do you even like him?
I do.
Fatima.
He's not Zac. sh*t.
But he listens.
He hears me. He sees me.
They all do that sh*t when you first meet them.
But Zac sees you.
But he doesn't hear me.
Well...
Why are you, all of a sudden, on Zac's side?
He was just looking so sad last night.
Sad? Okay. Well, um,
you go call Bryce and I'll call Zac.
That's completely different.
Zac don't want no d*ck.
-Yeah. Yeah. -You got a point.
[Fatima]You got a point there, but, look,
when you allow a man to run over you,
he's gonna think he can keep doing the sh*t
if you don't check it.
I'm not doing this.
But Zac, he's trying.
Look, I... Can we just... I got...
I got a lot to do.
Okay, got it.
All right, let's just get back to work.
Okay, honey.
[Fatima] Thanks.

All right. Go ahead, you got it. You go ahead and do you.
So you don't care that I'm hitting Belinda?

Better head on to the clinic.
