out of my dressing room

- so we can see you.

- (curtain slides)

- You look fantastic.

- (softly) Beautiful.

Come come.

You did it.

(laughs)

Absolutely beautiful.

Vidal, you did this.

- Yes, I did.

- Oh my God, it's so beautiful.

Oh, wait wait wait,

don't forget about the purse.

- Oh, I don't have a purse.

- Of course you do.

- That is so beautiful.

- Isn't it?

- You know, you guys are so--

- No no no no, yeah yeah yeah yeah.

- Both:
We know.

- Get going.

- Thank you.

- Put in a good word for us.

(crickets chirping)

- (whispers, gasps)

- You're welcome.

(laughs)

Oh.

I have had the most

amazing day of my life.

Well, you deserve it.

I mean, I know

taking care of your grandmother

can't be that easy.

Wow. Now come on.

The night has only begun.

(mouths)

- (chattering)

- (whispers) Oh sh*t.

She's coming back,

she's coming back.

I can't believe all this sh*t.

So how do you know

our mutual friend Dallas?

- Excuse me?

- Carnegie:
Well, let's see.

You're having drinks

at his favorite place to be seen,

so you must be new.

He took me here

on our second date.

We snuggled

in a booth over drinks.

Has he brought you pastries yet?

Oh, I'm sure he's asked you

all about your

favorite things by now, huh?

Mmm!

I love that bracelet.

Let me guess, let me guess. He said

it reminded you of him when he got it,

because it's dainty,

just like your wrist.

Mine's gold. He gave it to me

before we walked in here last time.

Hey, yo, you balling like that, man?

But don't worry.

He's not gonna try anything tonight,

because the sex won't be

good enough until you're hooked.

He likes sweet kisses

that he feels are escaped--

well, that's what

he told me at least.

But from the look of it, you got

about 10 more days of access to him

and then he'll f*** you

like he f***ed me last night.

- (Kalif laughs)

- And then there's no more phone calls

just to hear your voice. He's gonna

make it seem like you did something,

and he's gonna act like you're a psycho

if he runs into you in public,

make everybody think you're some

stalker girl he just can't break.

Well, he told me that

about the girl before me.

I'm sure he told you

the same thing about me, right?

Carnegie, what are

you trying to prove here?

Just trying to get it

off my chest, Dallas.

I'm just trying to get

all the facts straight.

You know what I mean?

Because you're f***ing good.

You're really good.

You should be an actor like Lonzo.

You would win an Academy Award,

hands down.

Hands down.

Ooh! I'll take one of these.

The least you can do

is buy me a drink.

Mmm mmm!

That's good.

Real smooth.

Real-- mmm.

Mmm, but then it leaves

this bitter taste in your mouth.

Mira:

Ooh! That was awesome!

- You go, girl.

- Dylan:
Oh my gosh, it was.

Yo, hey, let me help you, bro.

(laughing)

Hey, you know--

Oh, I ain't never gonna

let you hear the end of this.

Very classy, Carnegie.

Thank you!

(R&B music playing)

(silent)

Baby, you're perfect

I love your style

I must admit, girl

It drives me wild

The way that you walk

The way that you dress

I haven't met one girl

That compares to you yet

You treat me so good

You've captured my heart

Ain't nothing in this world

That could pull us apart

You say that you love me

And I hope that it's true

'Cause I must admit, girl

That I love you too

She says that

she's in love with me

I hope that it's true, girl

'Cause I love you too, girl

She says that

she's in love with me

I hope that it's true, girl

'Cause I love you too, girl

I want this forever

How can I lie?

And all of your love, girl

It gets me high

You take me to places

That I've never been

I don't want this feeling

To ever end

You're sexy, you know it

And you let it be seen

And you look like the girls

In the magazines

You say that you love me

And I hope that it's true

'Cause I must admit, girl

That I love you too

She says that

she's in love with me

I hope that it's true, girl.

- Carnegie:
Try to keep your lips--

- Katalina:
Mm-hmm, exactly.

- Those earrings are really cute.

- Really?

- I wanna steal them from you.

- My mom bought them at your store.

- She did?

- Yes, those are our spring line.

- Learn your line.

- Vidal:
Wait wait wait wait.

First of all, that's not my job.

Thank you.

Vidal:
Please.

Sweetie, you need to come to my place

and I'll hook you up

with a nice dress to go along with 'em.

- Katalina:
Thank you.

- You know what?

Huh-uh. Do not try to steal

my clients, all right?

- Please.

- Thank you.

Now how's your mom doing?

I haven't seen her in a while.

She's doing so good.

Her and my dad actually just got back.

- They were away for three weeks.

- Really?

- Shopping. Shopping.

- Yeah, shopping.

Paris Fashion Week.

That's when my family suddenly

- needs to get international as well.

- Exactly.

- Vidal:
OMG. Excuse me!

- Katalina:
Big shot with all her--

- Miss Hathaway!

- Who are you yelling at?

- Vidal:
Miss Hathaway!

- Katalina:
Who is that?

- Vidal:
You just wait and see.

- Who's that?

- Who is it? I don't know.

- Skylar:
Oh my God, Vidal,

- I was gonna call you...

- Prime's new girlfriend.

...tomorrow and say

thank you for everything.

- How are you, sweetie?

- I'm good.

Wait, what are you doing here?

Aren't you supposed to be

having breakfast in bed?

No, I'm here to pick up a to-go order

for my grandmother.

Where are my manners?

Ladies, this is Skylar.

- Skylar, this is Katalina...

- Hi.

- Carnegie...

- Hi.

What was your name again, baby?

- Mira.

- Yeah, mirror-- get one.

(scoffs)

I could break you in two, man.

- Hello.

- Hi.

This is Dylan and that's Autumn

over there in the corner.

Hi. I remember you

from the other night.

- Hi.

- Nice to see you again.

Wait a second.

How do you two know each other?

We ran into each other

the other night at Prime's party.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Grab a seat, sweetie.

Your food isn't ready.

- Oh, thanks.

- Vidal:
Grab a seat.

Well, how did it go?

Tell me all about it.

- Oh, ladies.

- What?

I had the pleasure

of dressing Miss Skylar

for the fabulous evening

with Mr. Prime Alexander.

- (soft chuckle)

- Okay.

- Wow.

- That's really--

A date, huh?

- Mm-hmm.

- You have a good time?

Oh yeah, it was really nice.

I mean, we just went and had dinner,

walked in the park.

Vidal:
Please,

don't try to downplay it.

She got the works--

hair, makeup, everything.

And then he sent her to my place

to pick out a fabulous outfit.

- Mira:
Wow.

- Vidal:
Mm-hmm.

- Wow.

- Sounds quite familiar.

Reminds me of Dallas.

I hate him.

Dylan:

You had a nice time, huh?

Yeah, I did. He's absolutely

the sweetest guy I've ever met.

- He's just really nice.

- (guffaws)

(Carnegie laughs)

Wow.

The biggest sweetheart ever?

- Autumn:
Dylan.

- No, I mean, wow.

Well, you know

that Autumn dated Prime

and he wasn't the biggest sweetheart

to her near the end.

So... it's weird.

Huh? No, I mean
