You know what you're going

to get from me?

Me, you and him are gonna have

a little sit down, a little chit-chat

about what's really f***ing going on.

Who the f*** is him?

I got eight dates a day!

Just tell me...

Merry Christmas.

You didn't have to do this.

Yes, I did.

What's that?

My performance.

It's going to be at 7:00.

All of my favorite people

are going to be there.

Miss Sin-Dee. And Miss Dani...

Wait. Wait. Sin-Dee? Which Sin-Dee?

Sin-Dee Rella.

Looks like someone has a crush.

Sin-Dee's back on the block?

Oh, yeah. She's back.

She's back and she's going hard.

- Come here!

- F*** you!

See you later on tonight.

I have to go.

- Bye.

- OK. Take care.

Say you're not gonna run away

on me again!

Not gonna run away.

All right. We're in agreement.

Bring your f***ing ass.

She's getting skinnier and skinnier.

Everyone comes to America

and gets fat.

Even I gained weight.

But this girl gets skinnier.

I don't gain or lose.

You always weigh the same.

Mom, I'm sorry.

I spilled a little bit.

Where are the fruits? Fruits.

Coming right up.

She loves that dog.

She loves that dog very much.

I don't like dogs.

Maybe I'll get used to it.

Everything requires getting used to.

You'll get used to

a lot more than that.

Again you want to smoke?

Eat something.

Please help yourself.

How are you, Razmik?

Good. How are you?

Good. Thank God.

How is Ashot?

Good. He's growing old... With me.

Any business out there today?

Let her grow up a little

and then Yeva can start working also.

Well, I came here to help

with the child so they can work.

That's the right thing to do.

That's what grandmothers are for.

So they can help take care

of my sweetie pie.

Ashken, she looks like you.

No, she looks more like Razmik.

Especially her smile.

Come here, sweetie.

Come and sit with Daddy.

Come on!

Shut the f*** up!

What are you crying for?

Shut the f*** up!

Get your f***ing ass in here!

Hello! Where is he at?

Where's your f***ing friend?

Is this the person you

were talking about?

You need to help me!

Call Chester!

You gotta call Chester!

What have you done to her?

Yeah, Chester! Where's Chester?

Chester's not gonna be cool

with this sh*t!

You know Chester?

Yes, I know Chester!

Why me? What did I do?

You gotta get her

the f*** out of here!

Shut the f*** up! Where's Chester?

I'm not leaving unless

you tell me where he is...

Calm down!

He's at Donut Time!

At Donut Time! Great!

Hold on, hold on, hold on!

Alright. When you see him,

could you kinda not tell him

that I'm the one

that kinda told you

that he was there?

Time to make the donuts, b*tch.

F*** up!

You know what?

I want to see Chester right now!

I can't wait to see

that motherf***er!

He doesn't like you.

You aren't special.

I know I ain't special,

but I'm his bottom b*tch

for the last two weeks, b*tch!

And when he finds out what the hell

you been doing to me,

I swear to God, he's going to rip

that cheap ass wig off your head

and shove it up your

f***ing gaping a**hole!

You might be his bottom b*tch,

but I'm his girlfriend,

you f***ing whore!

Oh, my f***ing God!

You're Chester's girlfriend?

Is that what you f***ing think?

Chester's got a lot

of motherfucking girlfriends

and you are definitely not

one of them!

What the f*** do I look like?

Like y'all niggas are going

to Red Lobster and sh*t!

Oh, this my boyfriend!

You are so mad pathetic right now!

You're like home like waiting

for him to call and sh*t.

That's sad.

That's f***ing sad.

I'm getting dragged around

this f***ing city is not as sad

as you sitting home thinking your

Chester's motherfucking girlfriend!

I'mma perform. Don't worry.

It's gonna blow your f***ing mind.

Getting my f***ing hair thing.

Is that OK with you?

Girlfriend.

Sh*t. F***ing pathetic.

Girlfriend.

What time is it?

What f***ing time is it?

What time is it?

F***!

F***, f***, f***, f***,

f***, f***, f***.

I'm gonna put Kool-Aid on.

That's gonna be it.

She goes on forever.

You know she goes on forever.

We're at Donut Time, f***ing retard!

We've got something else to do first.

- They'll be here.

- Your fans are not here.

Alright, Miss Crawford?

You're going with me.

You've got no f***ing choice, OK?

Is it a double date with Chester?

'Cause I would really

f***ing love that.

Come on, we're buddies now.

We're buddies. We suck the same cock.

How much you cost?

How much can I buy you for, huh?

How much you take me out for

out there?

Look at your nasty clothes.

You couldn't afford it.

My nasty clothes?

What's this? Tricks 'R Us?

Listen, sweetheart, I'm bumping you.

Next year, OK?

Come on. Move your ass.

Ali, girl! Alexandra, girl!

I'm here, girl!

I'm tired, let's go! I didn't think

I was gonna make it here on time!

What the f*** is this?

Girl, how late am I? I'm thinking

I'm five minutes late, right?

What did you do to her?

Don't worry about her.

You gotta go on stage. Come on!

OK.

Look. My friends are here.

Come on. Just come on.

How you doing?

This one has one shoe!

She's from the hills. She hillbilly.

Come on, girl!

Merry Christmas.

Good to see you.

Come here, baby.

Has she eaten?

She doesn't eat this kind of food.

I will feed her later.

Let's toast to the head

of this household.

All the best to you and your family.

Thank you. Wishing you the same.

To your health.

Ashken, you have a great son-in-law.

He's great

but he gets tired too much.

I don't know what the f***

I'm gonna do with this hair.

It's super straight

like those f***ing Asian hos.

Is that how you like it?

Yeah. Sometimes.

But not all the time.

It don't have to always be like that.

Let me do this.

Yeah. Fix your face. Fix that mug.

That's what everybody is looking at.

- I need to get these eyebrows done.

- Yes, you do.

You know...

Why did you bring her here?

F*** her.

We ain't worried about her.

She ain't nobody.

Today's about you.

Why you so up on her anyways?

With that f***ed up face of yours.

Look at her!

You didn't have to Chris Brown

the b*tch!

I told you what I had to do

today. You act like I was playing.

You know when I say sh*t,

I mean it, girl.

You wanna go onstage

looking like this?

What, exactly, are you implying?

I imply that you use some of my eye.

And let me do what I need to do.

Do you want my help or not?

Your highlight's

all f***ed off, girl.

You need to learn how to blend.

Your chestnuts are roasting on

the bottom of your chinny-chin-chin.

What exactly

are you doing to my face?

Trying to make you look

better than what you looked like before.

You tried it.

Yo.

- I'm just... I'm so over it.

- Yo!

I don't even know what to do.

- Yo!

- B*tch, what the f*** you want?

Finish your own make-up.

You know how I taught you:

Highlight, highlight, highlight,

contour.

Blush, blemish, bomb, bam!

Just stay over there.

I don't want to smell that sh*t!

I'm trying to enjoy it in peace,

please.

I had a stressful day today.
