a problem with the bank.

- I--

- Gimme that.

- Vidal:
I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

Katalina:
What are you laughing at?

You looking at me like I'm crazy.

No, come on. I'm delirious,

- I'm so hungry right now.

- Clearly.

- How's the food?

- Is that good?

- Mm-hmm.

- Kalif:
Oh my God!

- Oh sh*t!

- Oh my God. Babe!

- Sh*t!

- (laughs)

- Was that Kalif?

- That ass-- was that your boy Kalif?

- He was naked.

- Yo.

Please call that man.

What is he doing? Why--

He's on something.

Yo, that--

did that really just happen?

- Am I bugging?

- Hey! Dawg, I swear to God

we just saw some dude that looked

just like you run down the street

- with his balls flapping, bro.

- No bueno.

We're at the restaurant

we always hang at.

(birds chirping)

- Good look in the clothes, man.

- Dawg.

Can't believe that sh*t happened.

(Lonzo claps)

Yo!

What up, brothers?

The f*** wrong with y'all?

Hey, did I see you running

down the street naked?

Oh sh*t, man! What?

You saw me and you didn't

even try to help me?!

- That was you?

- We supposed to be boys, man!

(laughs)

Dude, I tried calling you. What the hell?

Tried calling me? Did it look like

I had my f***ing phone on?

Look! I need to know right now--

did one of y'all let out my game tapes?

- Lonzo:
What?

- Somebody uploaded on the Internet,

emailed to everyone

in my company's directory.

Ah. My mom--

f***, she's gonna kill me.

- (sighs)

- Prime:
Something ain't right.

How the hell all of us gonna have

a bad day all at the same time?

Flames been hounding me all week!

And now this sh*t?

What the f*** happened to you?

- All my cards were canceled.

- Lonzo:
What?

$100-million man

and I ain't got no money.

What kind of sh*t is that?

All this can't be

a coincidence, can it?

All right, look, I don't know

what the f*** is going on right now,

but we've got this gala

in a few hours, right?

Dude, we've gotta get

our minds right for that.

- (crowd chattering)

- Woman:
Mr. Alexander!

Mr. Alexander,

over here, please.

Prime! Over here, please, sir.

A really quick interview.

Thank you so much, sir.

Mr. Alexander.

- Hi, how are you doing tonight?

- Great.

- Wow, you look really great.

- Thank you.

So this is the 5th Annual

Rico Terrell Benefit Gala

for sickle-cell anemia.

What makes this such

an important cause for you?

Well, when I was a rookie,

I volunteered

at the children's hospital

and I met so many amazing children

who suffer from this disease.

And I vowed right then

that I was gonna do

all that I could

to help fund research

to find a cure one day.

And I kept my word.

That is awesome.

How much have you raised

this year so far?

Well, at this point with this event,

we've raised $3.5 million.

Congrats. That's truly

a great accomplishment.

Oh, and next year

we'll do $5 million.

Wow. Thank you

so much for your time.

- Enjoy the rest of your evening.

- Thank you.

(hip-hop music playing)

(silent)

So what's up, baby?

Yo, deal me out.

- Kalif. Surprise.

- (grunts)

Baby?

- Yeah.

- What are you doing here?

Mmm, Prime set all this up.

He wanted to surprise you.

- Oh my gosh, this place is beautiful.

- Tell me about it.

You know he always got

a trick up his sleeve.

No, I mean, he didn't really set it up.

His publicist did.

But anything for my baby.

You know I was gonna be here.

Well, baby, I'm glad you here.

Look, I gotta work the room,

so why don't you go to our table? I'll be

there in about 10 minutes, all right?

All right, sweetie.

Go do your thing.

- Hey, baby.

- What?

- I love you.

- I love you too.

(mutters)

Oh sh*t.

- Yo, Prime, what's up, man?

- What's up, bro?

- Your publicist invited Shanita?

- No, why the hell would she do that?

Sh*t, I don't know.

I'm trying to figure that out myself.

Man, she right over there.

Oh sh*t.

I need a drink, man.

Somebody give me a drink.

Please. Quick.

Make it fast.

Yo

Come on.

Just chill, man.

It's good.

Just chill out, man.

Oh sh*t!

Man, the party's over.

I knew your ass was

behind all this sh*t.

- Gentlemen.

- It's pretty f***ed up, Autumn.

Prime:
So all of you are

behind all this sh*t, huh?

I'm sorry. I don't know

exactly what you're talking about.

My credit cards, Dallas's video.

Calling my baby mama.

- Sh*t is real cute.

- Okay, you know what?

We're just here to have a good time,

just like everybody else.

- Okay.

- Okay. All right. Have fun.

Can I speak to you

for a second?

(whispers)

Okay.

What do you want, Prime?

Look, I just wanna...

explain myself.

Explain what?

That you have a wife and kids?

(scoffs)

Hey, but, Sky--

I've been waiting

a lifetime for you

I would do anything

just to keep you

But you don't seem to care

about this thing called love

The fellas think that I'm crazy...

(guys whispering)

- Prime Alexander?

- Yeah, what's up, man?

- You got a black Lamborghini?

- Yeah.

Your car being

towed outside, playboy.

- Prime:
Say what?

- Man:
Your car's being towed.

Kalif:

Man, come on.

I'll be right back.

I'm gonna--

Dallas Lauderdale?

- Yes.

- I'm Officer Suggs.

We've received some complaints

that you've been spreading

sexually-transmitted diseases.

I'm gonna need you to come with me

- and answer a few questions.

- Kalif:
What?

- Dallas:
Are you kidding me?

- Sit down.

I'm not going with you.

- Ah! Hey hey hey hey!

- Sit down!

- Come on, man.

- (handcuffs clicking)

- Hey hey!

- Lonzo:
What did he do?

Kalif:
I'm telling you, man.

It's them b*tches.

- Lonzo:
It's okay. I'll get my lawyer.

- Hey. Ah! Yo, hey.

Hey, Lonzo, Lonzo,

just call my mother.

- I got it.

- Aww. Bye, Dallas.

Kalif:

Shut the f*** up, Autumn.

(crickets chirping)

(knocks on door)

(sighs)

(man vocalizing)

Everything she give to me

But I can't deny it

Can anybody save me?
