make sure

you made it home safe.

It was really nice

to see you tonight.

Yeah.

Hey, why don't you give me

a call in the morning?

Maybe we can grab

brunch or something.

All right?

Sleep well.

(doorbell chimes)

(knocks)

- (sniffles)

- What are you doing here?

(crying)

(R&B music playing)

Kalif:

Time out. Tell me I didn't throw

a kick-ass party last night, man.

- (hooting)

- Diddy ain't got sh*t on me.

Bad sh*t-- bad sh*t, seriously.

Lonzo:
What I wanna know is

where the f*** were you all night?

I already told you-- rule #1.

What's rule #1 again?

ABC-- Always Be Closing.

Bingo.

Right there, my man.

Those rules don't work, man.

Come on.

Had to close down

the Carnegie chick last night.

- Yo, how'd she do, man?

- She had a Prime Alexander night.

28 points, shot 54 %

from the three-point line.

- Damn, that's pretty good.

- Kalif:
That is a good night.

- (laughter)

- Lonzo:
Are you gonna see her again?

(chuckles) Nah. I'm already working

on my next lottery pick.

Lonzo:

Of course you are.

Hey, hold up.

Seriously, what was up with Autumn?

That's what I wanna know.

Dude, she was tripping all night.

Yo, that's Dallas. I told you

not to let her ass in the party.

She was fine until

she saw you kiss Skylar.

What? Yo, look, she was crazy

from the jump, man.

- Red flag.

- Lonzo:
I told his ass.

- Kalif:
Amen.

- Will you guys relax?

- Damn, man!

- Dallas:
Relax.

It's all good.

Whatever, man.

Yo, anyone else close last night?

Well, I had a trez Nathaniel.

- Lonzo:
A trez what?

- Dallas:
A dude?

A dude? No, man, the two chicks

from the pool last night.

Man! I'm telling you--

strawberries and wine, candles.

(chuckles)

It was quite exquisite.

I'm feeling that.

I'm very happy for you.

- What about you, Zo?

- Oh, I had a good time, man.

Y'all know he was handcuffed

to Katalina all night,

talking about "I love you, baby.

I love you, baby."

- I'll f***ing kill you.

- (laughs)

Yo, what's up with you

and her, anyway?

Man, I don't know.

I like her.

- I like her a lot. Yeah.

- Okay. Okay.

You know, just be

careful with her.

- I will.

- Yeah.

You know what? Actually,

go ahead and let's redesign

- this whole setup over here.

- The scarves?

Yeah, I don't like it.

And let's redress her too.

- Okay.

- Anyway, like I was saying,

his tie and handkerchief

matched my dress,

Prime warned me that I should've

put my sunglasses on

- in the car, but--

- Ooh!

- I know, right?

- At night?

- (door opens)

- Oh!

- Hey!

- Hi! How are you, girls?

- You look so cute.

- You too.

- Hello.

- Hey, Heidi. Hi, honey, how are you?

- Super cute. Have a seat.

- Thanks.

Dylan, do you mind getting us

a couple of glasses of wine?

- Not at all.

- Mm-hmm.

So how are you guys doing?

- Good.

- Good, how are you?

- Fabulous as always.

- Woman:
Of course.

So I guess you know

why we're here.

We need something amazing

to wear to the Rico Terrell gala.

- Oh, okay. Of course.

- And I heard this year

it's an all-black affair.

I wonder who decided to do that.

- Mmm, that's me.

- Heidi:
Oh, okay.

I'll go and get

you guys the book

and I'll show you what

I have coming in next week.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Ladies.

- Both:
Thank you.

You're welcome.

Here you go, sweetie.

- Woman:
So, Autumn...

- Mm-hmm?

...is this the wine

that you purchased

while you were

in San Francisco last week?

I wasn't in San Francisco last week.

Why? What's going on?

- It's probably nothing.

- What's probably nothing?

Okay, spill it.

Jessica said that she saw Prime

in San Francisco last week

with another woman.

And that gossip website said that

you were kicked out of Prime's party.

- Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, you shouldn't believe

everything you read.

Okay, first of all I was not kicked out.

We had a fight.

It wasn't the first

and it won't be the last.

Okay, and what about that girl

that he was kissing at his party?

- You know, the one he was all up on?

- Oh, you mean the peasant

who was rocking last year's

rummage-sale collection?

- I'm not worried about her in the least.

- Ahem!

Maybe we could show them

the new Norell collection.

Mmm! Yes, I am sure

one of these beauties

can pull off such a stunning dress.

(chuckles) You know what?

I have work to do,

so I'm gonna go.

But you ladies shop.

- Okay?

- Thank you.

Okay, um, maybe let's take a look

at a few dresses.

Do you mind?

- Just bring out what you have.

- Yeah.

- I'd be happy to.

- (whispering)

Carnegie, if you don't stop

checking that phone--

do you think it's gonna ring

just because you want it to?

I'm just checking the service.

Sometimes it gets spotty in here.

Uh-huh.

Yet I have the same carrier

and I'm four bars strong.

I know, I know, I know.

Why hasn't he called me?

You just saw him last night.

He's probably working today.

I know, I know.

It's just...

that was the most amazing date.

Well, what did he say

when he dropped you off?

You-- you mean when he left?

- So he came in?

- Oh yeah. Yeah.

- Well...

- It was amazing.

I'm not even kidding.

This is the best date I've ever been on.

- Hands down. Hands down.

- So you slept with him after dinner

and he hasn't called you back.

- It's not like that.

- Not like what?

You're making it seem like

because he slept with me

he doesn't want to be with me.

Well, have you ever

gone on this long

- without him speaking to you?

- I mean...

not-- not since we met.

It's probably nothing.

- You think?

- I know. I'm sure you're right.

Sounds like you guys have

an amazing connection.

Now let's get dressed

and get some drinks at Duke's.

Your phone rings in other places

besides the living room.

- (knocks)

- (door opens)

- Hey.

- Hey, you.

Well, they're gone.

(chuckles)

- (door closes)

- Umm...

how you doing?

Are you doing okay?

(hesitantly)

I'm fine.

You sure?

- Yes, I'm sure.

- (both laugh)

No, I'm just wondering,

'cause having them

catty b*tches in your store--

- you know.

- Who, Heidi and Shannon?

- Yes, Heidi and Shannon.

- Oh, I'm not worried about them at all.

They will never change. But you know,

as long as they continue to shop here,

I really don't care.

Amen.

Umm...

so you looking at that website?

I don't even know what website

they're talking about, so--

- Whobangingwho.com.

- And how do you know that?

Girl, please, do not let

the bougie fool you.

You know I keep up on my gossip.

(chuckles)

My college girlfriend

runs the site.

(sighs)

Umm...

I saw these pictures

this morning--

Prime kissing that girl.

Honey, why didn't you just tell me

that you guys were having trouble?

Because it's no big deal.

- It--

- It's not that serious.

- It's serious.

- (chuckles)

Dylan, I really don't wanna talk

about this right now, so--

- (door opens)

- Man:
Yo yo yo, I got a delivery.

- (bell dings)

- Umm...

(chuckles)

I'll get it.

(door closes)

- Hi, Quenton.

- Hi.

Dylan, when are you gonna stop playing
