make things happen forever now.

You can't even keep a job.

I want a real man...

a man with ambition, goals, real dreams.

I got dreams.

What you think my page-a-cab

luxury cab service is?

You ain't even got a driver's license.

Like your dreams are just wired

for sound...

and ready to roll, right?

Owning a hair salon.

That's you and Mickey's problem.

You need to get a grip on life.

I ain't never heard somebody

owning a restaurant...

with a hair salon in back.

What kind of bullshit is that?

Oh... all right.

Well, that's gonna happen.

You'll see.

Nisi, Nisi, Nisi...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Come on, baby.

They're playing our song.

Used to be our song.

Nisi, do you think you overdid it

with our hair?

Mm-mmm. Nope.

I sure don't because

we're going to Beverly Hills.

Now, if I'm going to do good

at that audition...

we've got to look like stars.

Nisi!

- Nisi! - What, girl?

Can't you see I'm trying to read up

on our manners?

I know, but we're going to need

more than manners...

because right here it says...

that the rich and famous people

hang out at the Polo Lounge.

So?

- So?! Oh, sh*t.

We don't know nothin' about playing

no damn polo.

Then look up in the book...

and see if you can find

a basketball lounge.

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Our in-flight movie is about to begin.

Please lower your shade

if you're sitting next to a window.

Thank you.

- Where my thing at?

- Hey, I can't see.

Miss?

What's going on?

What's blocking the screen?

- I paid money to see this.

- I can't see!

Please, can I have another seat?

I'll pay you any amount of money.

I'm sorry. The flight is all booked up.

Aw, f***!

Hello?

Ladies, would you mind

lowering your hair?

No problem.

It's beautiful.

Maybe you overdid it just a little bit.

Maybe I did, huh?

Can I get my money back

for these headphones?

Oh, there, there. That's much better.

The white zone is for

the immediate loading and unloading...

Oh, sh*t, lady, look!

Nis, look!

- LL! LL! - LL! LL!

Damn! Lady love in the flesh!

Ain't nothing like a brother

who practices what he preaches.

Remember we read in

right on magazine...

he done married his baby's mama!

- Sure did!

- You're a good man, too.

I know that hoochie's been

throwing that ass at you, too.

I know! Remember when tit-tit said

she slept with him?

Precious, too!

She said he got it goin' on!

She sure did!

Ladies, ladies, ladies, it's nice to

meet y'all, but I got to go to the studio.

OK. LL!

I'm gonna be in the Heavy D video!

I'm about to blow up!

Boo yeah! She is!

Well, check it out.

I don't mean to be rude or anything...

but, unfortunately, I gotta go.

I'm running late, OK?

OK, uncle L. OK.

- OK, baby.

- Keep licking them lips!

Oh, and I know you're with

your baby's mama...

but if the sh*t don't work out

you know you can come...

Girl! Let's go get our luggage! Go!

Girl, you said good things come in 3s.

That's sure what my mama said.

Ow! If I see LL 2 more times, it's on!

Come on! We just saw LL!

Ring my bell!

We're the first ones here.

For real? You're about to get his job, girl!

You're gonna get this!

Will number 865 please step up?

Will number 865

please join the group over there?

Oh, girl, I'm gonna blow this audition up!

You got to, 'cause we only have

enough money...

for one night in a motel room.

I'm gonna get this. Get this.

Oh, look at her trying to show out.

Come on. Mm-hmm.

She thinks she got it going on.

You the bomb.

- Oh, yeah. - I got this.

No problem.

Eww, she wrong for that.

Uh, uh, that was good...

but you might want to go on home now

'cause I'm here.

No, stay, 'cause we're going to need

a few extras in the video.

Excuse me.

That's my girl! That's my girl!

Yeah. Yeah!

Baby, we got this!

Girl, can you believe he gonna accuse

me of hitting everybody with my hair?

I didn't hit nobody with my hair.

I did hit a few of them, though...

because I was rooting for you.

I wanted you to win.

I ain't like that song no way.

Come on, let's just find a hotel

so we can get out of here in the morning.

Where are we going to find a taxi

around here anyway?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

I couldn't help to notice you earlier.

You are a very good dancer.

Uh-huh. Well, they ain't think so.

My boss is doing a music video.

I thought you'd be perfect for it.

Hold up. How many C-notes

we talking here?

Uh, C-notes?

Cash money?

Room and board

in his Beverly Hills mansion...

and $10,000.

- A mansion? - $10,000?

Where he at?

Follow me.

Come on, girl.

We got to take care of business.

Wait, wait, wait! Don't!

Don't ring the doorbell yet.

It say right here in my etiquette notes...

that if they say, '"How are you? '" We say...

Livin' large and takin' charge, big boy!

I don't want you doing that kind of stuff.

We're in Beverly Hills...

so when they say, '"How are you,'"

We smile sweetly...

And said, '"Very well, thank you.

And yourself? '"

You cool?

Ring the doorbell.

How did you get past security

at the gate?

Begging is not permitted in Beverly Hills.

Oh, well, that's cool,

because where we come from.

Crackheads be beggin' all the time.

Snap! We can't even

walk down the street...

Oh, no, see, it's on!

- It's on now in Beverly Hills!

- Mick, we're not doin' no fighting...

Ladies, welcome.

I'm Isaac Blakemore, and you are?

I'm Denise, and this is my friend Tamika.

You can just call me Nisi and her Mickey.

Uh, sorry. Please, come on in.

I'm sorry. How very rude of me.

I just have to finish up

a phone conversation.

You know, just looking at you...

I can tell you're exactly

what I've been looking for.

So, I got the job?

Well, yeah. It certainly seems that way,

doesn't it?

Well, Manley here will be happy

to show you up to your room.

You can just relax, you know,

freshen up a little bit.

Just make yourself at home,

then we'll meet again shortly...

to go over the terms of your contract.

Thank you.

Oh, good. Good, good, good.

I'll see you in a bit.

Thank you. Thank you.

Follow me.

Mickey, look!

Ooh, he got a little one!

Ooh, look! Check this out!

It's a real famous piece.

They done pay crazy cash for this.

For that?

Some ugly woman he tried to hook up?

If she was ugly,

he should have left her ugly.

She look like Loquisha Jenkins

with a bad hair weave.

You need some throat lozenges

or something?

Lead the way, Alfred.

The name is Mr. Manley.

Manley will do very nicely, thank you.

Who is Alfred?

You know. Batman's homeboy.

Oh, you right, girl.

I see what you're saying.

You would be so good in the sequel!

- Oh, he'd be phat! - He would!

And you'd have to do is say,

'"Batman to the cave! '"

And everybody would

lose their job that day.

And you'd get that job!

To the batcave!

Ask him to say it, Mick.

You do it. I already called the man Alfred.

Oh, come on.

No, I just want to know

where we're sleeping tonight.

Hi.

Wait in there.

What kind of welcome is that?
