[ Hillary]

I can't believe I got a lap dance.

[Women Laughing ]

You loved it.

Jan, I can't picture you in a strip club.

What did you do there?

Well, I still feel dirty.

Okay, so let's talk about our fund-raiser.

Did you talk to your guy?

Yes, and he is very interested.

And he thinks he can build

our enchanted forest?

Yes. Yeah. He-He-He says he can pound well...

and he's got lots of wood,

and he can erect it.

He said that to you?

Yeah.

And you didn't pick up on that?

That's called irting, Hillary.

[Women Laughing ]

Convince him.

Seal the deal and get our forest.

Okay, girls, I have great news.

I just hung up with my friend...

who owns a sound and lighting company.

Says that he thinks

he can get some sponsors...

- to help pay for your enchanted forest idea.

- [ Hillary] Ooh.

He?

- [ May] Why are you guys looking at

me like that? - Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm. He?

His name is TK. He's just a friend.

We've been out a couple times for coffee.

He's really nice.

He's divorced. He's got two boys.

But look, I'm just taking it slow.

Speaking of which,

Mrs. Lytia has a man-friend...

who is in love with her,

and she's so mean to him.

She won't give him a chance.

Girl, please.

[ Scoffs ]

That's not nice. You should at least

go out with a guy one time.

Do you know how hard it is

to just meet a nice guy?

No! How dare you put my business

on Front Street.

Especially when you've got a man

that's crazy about you...

but you too busy

lettin' your husband take care of you.

Okay, first of all, he left me.

And he rubs that enough in my face

for the both of us, okay?

- So thank you.

- Don't ever lose your power.

- How?

- I'm just saying. Take him to court.

Don't mention court to me.

I can't take

my daughter's father to court.

If you don't actually take him to court...

at least threaten to take him to court...

and I bet you that that child support check

will show up on time.

I've never thought about it that way.

He probably tries to make you feel

like he's doing you a favor.

Just remember that

that is his daughter, too...

and he's just as responsible as you are.

You know what? I actually just wrote

an article for the newspaper about it.

I'm gonna send you the link.

You should read it.

This is what the Single Moms Club

is really all about.

Mm-hmm.

So, May-

You take your ex to court?

Are you kidding me?

For what? He didn't have a pot to piss in.

And barely any teeth. No, I'm kidding.

[ A

EJJJ:

That's a joke. I'm joking. He used to be hot.

Turned out to be Pookie.

Don't judge me. He used to be hot.

Well, our little Hillary

has a hot next-door neighbor who's single.

I've seen him, and he's fine.

[Jan ]

And she won't turn up the heat...

even though her divorce is almost final

and her ex was a jerk.

Jan, really? You're gonna talk about me?

What's up with you?

What do you mean?

She means we've never seen

you look at a man.

Do you like men?

Yes.

Okay.

Pay me. Lytia, pay UP-

Pay up for what?

Who cares?

Just tell her. We had a bet.

She thought you were a lesbian.

Really?

Okay, I did, but it's just that-

Jan, you never look at a dude. Ever.

There's nothing wrong with being gay.

It's not a big deal.

I know it's okay to be gay. But I'm not.

She's not. I know.

My career has taken me off the market...

and I have been celibate for 1O years.

Know what? I've been celibate too.

- Really?

- Mmm.

I knew I liked you, May.

All right. All that to say, yes, I like men.

I just don't know how to do that right now.

- Let us hook you up.

- No.

Oh, come on. What kind of men do you like?

Can we just get back to

planning our enchanted forest?

You know what?

We are hooking you up tonight.

We're going to the movies. Get your forest

and your un-enchantment together...

and let's go to the movies.

I have the perfect guy for you.

- This is crazy.

- Will you just relax?

It's gonna be fine.

- Hey.

- [ May] Hey. You made it.

- Everyone, this is my friend, TK.

- Hi.

[All ]

Hi. How are you?

Damn, TK. You fine. You got any brothers?

[ Branson Clears Throat]

Excuse me?

Oh, no, see, honey, Esperanza invited

you here, okay? So chill out.

Hi. I'm Branson.

Hey, man. TK.

What's up, man? I'm Manny.

Manny, how are you? Good to meet you.

I'm gonna get some popcorn.

You want popcorn, drinks?

- A Coke for me.

- Coke, okay.

Yeah, okay, you do that.

You do that.

Oh! Thank you!

You just gonna hold out on us?

For real though? You see that?

He's just my friend. He's just my friend.

Oh! There's your date.

Brrt!

You know you're wrong.

Are you serious?

Not him. Behind him.

There he is.

[ L-yiia 1

Girl, he is cute for you.

Gonna have an asthma attack.

Hey, Tony!

Hey.

Jan, Tony works at the paper.

He's divorced, no children.

[Laughs]

I'm Jan.

Tony. Nice meeting you.

Okay!

Okay, love connection!

- Go and get some popcorn.

- Bye.

All right, all right, okay.

Yay. All right.

Yeah, we're a little tensed up.

But it's okay, boo boo.

Let's go. Come on, Tony.

- She's bossy.

- I guessed.

[Women Laughing ]

[ Clinking ]

What are you doing?

I saw the light on.

I didn't want to wake your kids.

What is it?

I had some ideas about your enchanted forest.

Come talk to me.

I'm babysitting tonight.

Come on.

You'll be right here on your front porch.

[Sighs]

Uh-

Okay. I'll be right down.

I called the school

and I got the dimensions of the room...

and this is what I came up with.

My friend owns a tree farm...

so we can get all the old trees

and paint 'em gold...

and then go with a white theme

or something like that.

You know, white lights everywhere.

What do you think?

- It's amazing.

- Yeah?

- Can I show it to the ladies?

- Yeah, of course.

- You like it?

- I love it.

Good. I was kind of worried.

Wow. Thank you. I didn't even know you could

come up with something like this.

- It's great.

- You know what? I'm glad you asked me.
