and let me take you out to dinner?

- Huh.

- Mmm. Man.

- What is this?

- It's a delivery for your cousin.

- On a Saturday?

- Apparently it's a special delivery.

- Okay. Right this way.

- (chuckles)

- (Dylan knocks) Sorry. Delivery.

- (door opens)

- Oh, hey, Que.

- Miss lady. I have a delivery for you.

- Are you serious?

- (chuckles)

- (laughs)

- Umm...

Are you waiting for a tip?

Seriously? You--

- he just asked me out.

- Hey, I gotta save up.

We all know how

you singletary ladies are.

- Bye, Que.

- Wow. Nuh-uh.

Dylan, call me.

You won't regret it.

I-- I don't even know.

What is this? Is this from Milan?

What'd you get?

Did that say it was from Prime?

Maybe it's some new shoes.

Autumn?

These are--

is this your stuff

from Prime's house?

- (strained) It looks that way.

- He cut up your pictures?

Apparently so.

Honey, I'm--

I'm so sorry.

But this is stupid, okay?

This is petty.

- Look-- okay, I'm gonna--

- (sobs)

I'm gonna take care

of this, okay?

Yeah, don't--

don't worry about it.

Umm, I got it.

Okay?

(laptop thuds)

(knocks on door)

(grunts)

Hm-mmm, Grandma.

I got it.

- Mmm.

- Whew.

- Hi, can I help you?

- Miss Hathaway?

- Yes.

- Good afternoon, ma'am.

I'm your driver for today,

compliments of Mr. Prime Alexander.

Your first appointment

is at 1 :
00 p.m.

My first appointment?

Yes, ma'am. I can't

tell you where we're going,

but I do have a schedule here for your

grandmother so she's not worried.

So this is one of those

scavenger hunts or something.

I'm not at liberty

to say, ma'am,

but I do expect your granddaughter

to have a lovely evening.

- Gimme one minute.

- Not a problem, ma'am.

You remember that purse

that I lost last year in Vegas?

Uh-huh, 'cause you forgetful.

Why is that the newer version in purple?

- You want it?

- I do. I love it.

Well, I got a surprise for you waiting

at the house. I think you might like it.

- Shut up. No, you don't.

- I guarantee I do.

- Stop!

- Right next to the new shoes I got you.

Hi, Cash.

- Keep it moving.

- Baby, come on.

Let's go see if they have that bag

you was looking at last week.

Huh-uh, don't try

to change the subject.

How the hell does that ho

gonna come over here,

talking some "hey, Cash,"

like she knows you like that?

- I don't know that girl.

- Where do you know that girl from?

- Like I said, I don't--

- Where do you know that girl from?

Maybe she was at the club

or somewhere with Prime.

- You know he got groupies everywhere.

- Next time

you need to tell your little b*tches

not to come over and talk to you...

- My b*tches?

- ...when they see you with your woman.

I'm glad you recognize that.

Now can we keep it moving?

- No, I'm serious, Kalif.

- You causing as scene for nothing.

Try me if you think I'm playing.

I'm so tired of that simple sh*t.

- I don't care if I'm causing a scene.

- Look, I ain't do sh*t, a'ight?

No, you ain't do sh*t.

You think you slick.

You think I'm stupid.

But I got something for that ass.

You wait and see.

- See, that's your problem right there.

- I gonna find her.

You always trying

to threaten somebody.

I'm not threatening you.

That sh*t was disrespectful.

- Come on. You know what?

- No. No no no, come here.

- Let's go introduce--

- Don't embarrass me in public.

- 'Cause you about to get you--

- See, you're always wiling out.

This is your first appointment

for the day here.

When you need me, I will be

outside here waiting on you.

(R&B music playing)

You shine

Even on your worst day

You're bright

Even in dim company

You may feel like

you don't belong

Here

You march strong

To the rhythm

of your own drum

I bet you

nobody ever told you

Where you came from,

starchild

I know you,

I know you well...

(cellphone vibrating)

Hello.

Hey, sexy.

Is it too late to call?

It's 6:
30.

- I know. I'm just playing.

- (chuckles)

So what's up?

I thought you were going out

with Kalif and Dallas.

Yeah, I was, but I have a really big,

important meeting on Tuesday

and I don't wanna be out

drinking with the guys

and-- I don't know. I just kinda

wanna keep my head right, you know?

Wow. Smart guy.

I think I like you.

Wait, you think you like me?

What's up with that?

- You don't know by now?

- Oh, I know.

So what are you doing?

Well, that's why I was calling.

My family and I are having

a little movie night tonight

and I wanted to see

what you were doing,

see if you wanted

to roll through.

Maybe watch one

of those chick flicks

my mom's been begging me

to watch with her.

Okay, so you're telling me

that you're spending a Saturday

chilling with your mom,

watching chick flicks?

- How cute.

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah yeah yeah.

Mama's my rock.

Wow.

Not a lot of people can say that.

What do you mean?

You're not close to your mom?

Let's just say my mom is married

and she has children,

but "close"

isn't a word I use to describe

her relationship with anyone.

Wow, Katalina. I'm really sorry

to hear that, honey.

So what movies does

your mom have on the lineup?

Oh, we've got

"Love and Other Drugs,"

and "Good Will Hunting,"

of course.

Oh, my vote is definitely

for "Good Will Hunting."

I love me some Matt Damon

and Cole Hauser--

good old Boston bad-asses.

- Mm-hmm.

- So, 20 minutes?

Awesome.

That's perfect.

Okey-dokey. Just so you know,

I look a little crazy.

I definitely was curled up in a ball

reading a book in some sweats.

Oh. Oh, my bad.

I see what you're doing.

Okay. That's right,

you're fishing

for compliments right now.

We can play this game.

No, you know what?

I can't even--

you are-- you are naturally beautiful

from head to toe, so--

Thank you,

very very sweet of you.

All right, well,

drive safe, honey. Okay?

- Okay.

- I'll see you soon.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- (gasps)

- Well?

Oh my-- ooh, that is soft.

I know. I was surprised to find

that your hair's still natural.

You know, you have

so many options when it is.

So I wanted to soften up

your curls a bit.

It's absolutely beautiful.

Thank you.

Oh wow.

So how long have

you been dating Prime?

Oh, I wouldn't call it

dating just yet.

Only we met a few months ago,

so we've hung out a few times.

But I like him.

He's really nice.

- Really?

- Uh-huh.

So all the things you hear

about the great Optimus Prime--

- it isn't true?

- You know, to be honest,

I wouldn't have a clue

as to what they say about him.

I moved out here to take care

of my grandmother,

so she's been my main focus.

All that matters

is that he's nice to me.

So you're not one

of those jersey chasers

running behind him

because he has all those millions?

Definitely not one of those.

(chuckles)

I don't know.

Maybe it's just me, but...

I'm more concerned about how a man

treats me than what's in his wallet.

You know?

I actually had a run-in

with a few of his admirers

the other night at the club.

(chuckles)

Just being in a room with

those women made my skin crawl.
