So?

I'm not ready to forgive you

for what you did.

I gave you everything that I had

and you really hurt me.

Why didn't you just tell me

you had kids and a girl from the jump?

Um, I thought

you would leave if I did.

That doesn't give you

the right to take that choice from me.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I guess I wasn't thinking.

You said that everything

isn't what it appears.

So explain.

My kids mean everything to me.

And I'll do whatever it takes

in order to be with them.

So you're basically saying

that you're only with Kennedy

so that she doesn't take

your kids from you.

- Yeah.

- Hmm.

Her family's from Louisiana

and she would take them there.

- I know she would.

- So where does that leave me?

Skylar.

Look, yo, I care for you.

I really do.

- Please believe--

- Is this seat taken?

Uh, Kennedy.

Thanks for the call, Skylar.

Why don't you scoot over?

- (Prime sighs)

- I'm gonna let you guys talk.

No no no, please stay.

You have just as much

a right to be here as I do.

(laughs)

You're looking all scared.

What, you don't have

anything to say?

No lies, no excuses?

We're all here now.

Talk.

(scoffs)

So you're the girl

from the website, huh?

She's a bit younger than Autumn.

How's your grandmother?

Excuse me?

(chuckles)

Oh.

Oh, you thought I didn't know about you

until you called this morning?

Come on, I know everything

that Prime does.

Everything--

from the helicopter rides

to the shopping sprees

to the condo

on East Lake Drive.

Everything.

I know what you're thinking.

If I know this, why don't I leave?

Because I love him.

He's the father of my children.

And I love his ass.

(chuckles, sighs)

What you need to know,

Miss Thing,

is before you get

romantically involved with a man,

make sure you know everything

there is to know about him.

You see, arrogant, selfish,

rich individuals like my fianc,

they prey upon sweet

innocent women...

like you.

I know he hurt you.

Otherwise,

you wouldn't have called.

And I'm sorry for that.

But trust me,

he won't hurt you again.

Now if you'll excuse us,

my fianc and I have

a few things to discuss.

(huffs)

What did I tell you the last time?

I told you if you do this

to me again, it's over.

I can't put up with this.

I won't.

I've been here with you

through everything, Prime.

Everything.

(Kennedy laughs)

I'm the mother of your children.

Does that mean nothing to you?

I've dealt with this before

and I'm not dealing with it again.

I can't sit around

until you figure out

if you want to be

what you should be.

Look. Look, baby.

(sighs)

I'm sorry.

Kennedy, I-- I don't--

No, just stop it.

I'm done.

I'm done.

(chuckles)

I am so done.

You know, you want to be

the $100-million playboy?

So be it.

Me and the kids are leaving.

I'm going back to Louisiana.

- You're just--

- Baby.

(chuckles)

Oh yeah.

(ring clinks)

Ice cream?

You wanna go get ice cream?

- All girls like ice cream.

- Well, that's true.

Umm, Prime. Pri-- excu--

Pri-- excuse me.

Prime, you can't go back there!

- My f***ing life, you stupid-ass b*tch!

- (screaming)

I should kill your f***ing ass!

I should kill your ass!

Prime, no!

Get-- Que!

- Oh my God!

- Prime! Prime! Let's go, man.

- I'm calling the police!

- (grunts)

Yes, it's an emergency.

- Prime Alexander attacked my cousin.

- (Autumn coughing)

- Come on, man. Calm down.

- Get off me!

Camelback and 24th.

It's a boutique,

Autumn de Brise.

Please-- please hurry.

Please. Autumn?

(crying)

I just know there's

so much stupid drama.

(Autumn sighs)

I can't believe this sh*t.

(sniffling)

F***ing a**hole.

- (Dylan mutters)

- Autumn:
Oh my God.

Dylan:

Take a breath. Outside, come on.

We need to deal with it.

- (sniffling)

- Okay?

- Hey, thank you, guys, for coming.

- You okay?

- What happened?

- He attacked me.

- Did you press charges?

- Are all of you happy now?

- We're not gonna talk about--

- You got what you wanted?

- Let's go.

- You wanted to humiliate me?

You know what?

F*** you, Prime!

F*** you! You got exactly

what you deserve!

And you need to be glad

that I didn't press charges.

I can't believe how far

y'all took this sh*t!

Uploading pictures on the Internet,

calling my baby mama!

And to torture me?

I ain't done nothing to none of y'all!

It don't make any difference.

I mean, even with all this,

me and my boys,

we gonna still do us.

Mm-hmm, you and your boys?

You'll still do you, right?

'Cause you're so close, right?

Best friends?

- Let's go.

- No no. 'Cause you're so close?

Hmm, let me think.

Did Dallas tell you

that I've been f***ing him

for the last two months?

- Oh sh*t.

- Hey.

- Are you kidding?

- What?

You've been having sex

with Dallas this entire time!

- Wow.

- Are you serious?

Dylan:

This isn't about that, all right?

So you eating off

my sloppy seconds, I see, huh?

That's how she found

the f***ing sex tapes.

You know, all this proves

is how much of a ho you are,

just like you were cheating on me

with Jeff Trepagnier.

Seriously? She wasn't

cheating on you with Jeff.

She was cheating on Jeff

with you, you arrogant--

- Let's go. You don't need this.

- Yeah, that's right.

Do the math.

Do the math, Prime.

I was with him when I met you.

Autumn, what the f***

is wrong with you?

You just gonna roll down

the assembly line?

Is that what you gonna do?

Hmm?

- What about Kalif?

- Yeah, where my slice at?

Yeah, you know what?

Maybe I should.

Then maybe I'll be

just like Prime,

especially since

he f***ed Katalina.

- What?

- Yeah, you thought I didn't know.

- Really?

- What is wrong with you?

- What is wrong with--

- Yeah, why are you starting sh*t?

Prime and Katalina?

Prime and Katalina never hooked up.

Really?

Prime?

Hey. Um, look, man,

that was a long

long time ago, man.

Don't get worked up

over that. This--

Don't get worked--

(grunts)

Kalif:

The f***'s he doing, man! Chill out!

- Hey, Lonzo! Hey!

- Chill!

- Dallas:
Relax!

- Man, I would've told you

a f***ing long time ago!

It was before you even knew her!

- 1080 for life, huh?

- Chill out, man?

- Lonzo:
Really?

- Look. Baby, listen.

- Don't "baby" me.

- It was a long-- I tried to tell you!

This whole thing was part

of your plan, wasn't it?

- This whole thing, right?

- This had nothing to do with us.

- Carnegie:
Nothing to do with us.

- It's all your sick little revenge.

- Autumn:
You know-- shut up!

- F*** you, Autumn!

- I bet you wish you could!

- Hey! Stop! Stop!

That's enough!

It's enough!

(crying) You know what?

I don't even need this sh*t.

(piano music playing)

(Autumn sobbing)

Autumn, wait.

I have been taken before

You're not the first to rob me

Of my peace

And my sanity

You've taken all my peace

And my sanity

You must've been kidding

With that whole

Romantic love spell

Or maybe I just didn't

hear you right

You run over my heart

And then ask for it back

You must think that

that's all right
