No strings. That's what we said.

You knew what you were getting into.

No, you knew what I was getting into.

It's so easy to say "no strings"

when you're already attached

to someone else.

I wasn't attached.

So I'm your rebound guy.

Is that what I am to you?

Men can bounce around

from woman to woman...

but if I do it, I'm a bad person.

That's not fair.

What's not fair is the fact

that I'm standing here...

looking like an a**hole...

in love with a girl that I can't have.

We have a connection...

but what we did isn't love, it's fun.

This is love.

Why not give us a chance?

Lust is easy, Charlie.

Love is complicated.

It's not that complicated.

I know how I feel when I look at you.

I'm getting married, Charlie,

and that's not gonna change.

Then why are you even here?

Because I wanted to check on you.

I don't need you to check on me!

Uber got my back. I'm fine.

Adios, Eva.

Where the hell is he?

Hey, Kareem.

- Yes, sir?

- We're waiting, like, 20 minutes.

Does Charlie know the meeting time?

Uh, yes, sir, he does.

Let me check his work cell again.

You know what? Let me check on him.

Good idea.

- Where are we?

- Well...

We're on time, and growing impatient.

You guys could have started without me.

No, we actually couldn't.

Look, Charlie...

I know you have

some reservations about this deal...

but we need you to get behind this.

We need to lock in the tour dates.

- We need you...

- Look, I'm on board.

- What? Really?

- Give me the paperwork.

I'll have him sign it.

Good talk.

Surprise!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Congratulations. Mission accomplished.

Okay.

I going to lay down...

and I'd be pleasantly surprised

if y'all got the f*** out.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You need to chill, man.

What is your problem?

Look, I had a long day at work, okay?

I'm tired, I'm good.

Thank you, all right?

Look, we went through

a lot of trouble for you, bro.

Yo, we're not 10 years old, bro.

Look, why don't you go through

this much trouble at work...

so you don't feel like a b*tch...

'cause your girl make more money than you.

Wow.

You need to check yourself.

I need to check myself?

Yeah, you need to check yourself.

I need to check myself, Rick?

Well, why don't you start

by checking yourself, huh?

Why don't you start with your girl?

Why don't you tell her

how you really feel?

We all know that having a family

is a deal breaker for you.

You want to have kids.

Your girl can't get pregnant.

Dude, what the f*** are you...

Yeah, seriously.

It's okay. No.

What the f*** is your problem?

What the f*** is my...

You're just miserable.

What the f*** is my problem, Press?

My f***ing problem is...

everybody acts

like their life is so perfect.

Everybody's f***ing perfect...

but me, but Charlie.

Kareem, get the hell out of here.

Get the f*** out! Why are you even here?

Yo, are you serious right now?

Am I serious?

Am I serious?

Guys, listen, man.

We don't have to do this, man.

Why don't you take your ass, go home...

and let me be alone, okay?

Why you gotta be such an a**hole, man?

No, no, he's not being an a**hole.

He just wants to be alone.

You know what?

It's so crazy because you

do that so well, Charlie.

What's that?

Be alone.

Let us know how that works out for you.

- Thank you, Ginger.

- You need to grow up.

Okay.

- Sad.

- Sad?

Victor, you got shoes on in my crib, man.

You got shoes on, motherf***er.

You guys know my rules!

I got rules!

I thought I'd find you here.

What the hell happened last night?

You know what happened last night.

I'm sure they told you,

so you can go back...

and tell them I'm fine, all right?

Yeah, you don't seem fine.

I'm fine.

I'm not letting you off that easy.

What is this, therapy?

I'm here because I love you.

Talk to me. What happened?

I called some people out on their sh*t.

That's what happened.

What? Why?

Why should you be calling anyone

out on their sh*t...

unless you're willing to look at yourself?

Sounds to me like you were lashing out.

Come on, you had your heart broken.

It's okay.

You're gonna go through some pain.

She used me.

She f***in' used me, Sherry.

I'm never doing that again.

How many women have you used?

Don't do that.

Karma's a b*tch, isn't it?

Look, I'm gonna keep it real with you.

You set yourself up for this.

Did you learn this on your first

or your second marriage, Sherry?

Or any of your failed relationships, huh?

You're such a great therapist...

but how come you can't figure it out?

I learned this when our mom and dad died.

What the f***...

- What do they have to do with this?

- Everything.

- No.

- Yes.

You don't think Mom and Dad's death...

has anything to do with the fact...

that you're afraid of losing your friends

to their relationships?

That you're scared of committing

to one of your own?

You've never dealt

with Mom and Dad's death.

You will never go with me

to visit their grave.

Why?

You're gonna really push me away?

I guess you're gonna have

to figure this one out on your own.

I guess so.

Well, I'll be sending you love and light.

From afar.

Very far.

To French Montana and this deal.

Ah, yes.

I am pigs-in-sh*t excited...

about having you being a part...

of the P.E.A. family.

- A new member.

- Yeah!

And I would be remiss

if I didn't thank the agent...

that brokered this deal,

my personal Pit Bull...

Charlie Motherfuckin' Mac.

Not only do you have the vision

to make it in our business...

you have the cojones to last.

French, you ain't gotta worry

about nothin'.

Let's celebrate, Julius.

Let's celebrate.

French, don't sign that, man.

What? Why not?

What a kidder.

It's not the right deal for you.

Charlie, shut up.

Hey, you wanna be a big star, right?

Of course.

Then, don't listen to him

and sign the deal.

Man, what the f*** is going on, man?

You been kissing his ass all day...

all this sappy sh*t about how

he's the man, praisin' him.

Now all of the sudden you're telling me

don't sign the contact.

What the f*** is going on, man?

No, no, no. I wasn't kissing his ass.

I was blowing smoke. There's a difference.

What'd you think about this sh*t, Julius?

Look, French, even Julius

can tell this is not right.

Look, you won't make nearly

as much money on this tour...

as you would on the one

we didn't tell you about.

Drake's people called.

They wanted to go

out on the road with you.

- What?

- I should have told you, man.

Charlie, what are you, illin', yo?

Let's keep it 100%.

I mean, this is youth

and inexperience talking here.

He's all about the money right now.

I'm talking about a legacy.

You can't put a price tag

on the exposure that you'll get...

headlining your own tour.

Marty, shut up!

Stop it. Stop lying.

French, the only reason

we're trying to push you into this deal...

is because it benefits Premiere Edge.

- Don't sign.

- All right, that's it.

You know, shut up.

Security!

You're fired.

That was the whole point.
