>> WE'RE GOING TO VEGAS.
>> VEGAS?
[bleep] WE GOING TO VEGAS FOR?
>> WE'RE GOING TO THE BIGGEST
TATTOO SHOW ON EARTH.
>> OOH.
>> I LIKE CEASE

BUT MORE THAN THAT,
I DON'T KNOW.
>> TEDDY, WE'RE INVOLVED.
>> EH, THAT'S A STRONG WORD.
YO, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
>> TED IS ACTING
[bleep] [bleep].
LIKE...
>> I'M NOT GONNA CHASE YOU.
COME HERE.
>> WHAT THE [bleep] IS UP
WITH ALEX?
>> I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK YOU
WHERE SHE WAS.
>> I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HER.
>> IT'S LIKE SHE THINKS
SHE BETTER THAN ME AND SASSY.
LIKE, WE ALL ON THE SAME LEVEL,
BABY.
>> WHY ARE YOU--YOU GETTIN'
DRESSED?
YOU COMING--YOU COMING TO--
>> I CAME TO SUPPORT,
SHOW YOU GUYS SOME LOVE.
I'LL BE WATCHING,
TAKING PICTURES.
>> I NEED SOMEBODY WHO--TATTOOS
IS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.
HONESTLY, THIS [bleep] IS NOT
GONNA WORK OUT FOR RIGHT NOW.
>> GIVE ME ANOTHER PINKIE
PROMISE, LULU.
>> GIVE DADDY PINKIE PROMISE.
>> PINKIE PROMISE.
BYE, BABY.
I LOVE YOU.
TAKE CARE OF MOMMY FOR ME, OKAY?
>> RIGHT NOW, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY TO O'[bleep].
LIKE, HIS LIFE IS FALLING APART.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO A PERSON
THAT'S LOSING EVERYTHING?
>> WHAT'S THE RIGHT THING HERE?
>> LET ME BACK TO WORK.
>> HOW DOES THAT MAKE ME LOOK?
>> IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE
A PERSON WHO'S HELPING OUT
THEIR FRIEND.

[door buzzes]
>> YO, IS O'[bleep] HERE?
>> HE NO LONGER WORKS HERE.
>> DAMN, A'IGHT.
THANK YOU.
>> SEE WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> OF COURSE IT WAS HARD
FIRING [bleep], BUT HE WASN'T
DOING WHAT I NEEDED HIM TO DO.
CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE WALKING ALL
OVER ME.
I'M THE BOSS.
>> WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE,
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT
SITUATION?
>> WHAT SITUATION?
>> I DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS IT
IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.
IT'S RUDE.
>> NO, IT'S OKAY.
WHAT SITUATION?
AT LEAST TELL ME THE TOPIC
OF THE SITUATION.
MAYBE I MIGHT NOT WANT TO
DISCUSS IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
WE MIGHT BE HITTING THE TOPIC
OF, I DON'T KNOW,
BIRTH CONTROL,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> NO, I WANTED TO TALK YOU
ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS ON THE
O'[bleep] SITUATION.
>> WHO?
>> [bleep].
>> WHO THAT?
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
YOU GONNA WORK ON THAT FOR ME?
>> YES, SIR.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> MY MAN STILL GOT PEOPLE
COMING IN ASKING FOR HIM.
THAT'S ALL I'M JUST SAYING,
JUST THROWING IT IN THE AIR,
JUST THROWING IT IN THE AIR.
IN CEASER'S BRAIN, HE THINKS
THAT HE CAN RUN BLACK INK
WITHOUT O'[bleep],
BUT HE DOESN'T REALIZE THAT
O'[bleep] MADE A NAME FOR
HIMSELF, TOO, HERE.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE BEEN
DEALIN' WITH O'[bleep],
SO CEASER HAS TO COME WITH
THE THOUGHT OF LETTING
THAT HAPPEN.
>> WHAT THE [bleep]
IS YOUR PROBLEM?
>> YOU BEING THE OWNER
OF THE SPOT, YOU SHOULD WANT
TO THINK ABOUT YOUR MONEY
COMING IN.
HE'S STILL GOT CLIENTELE
COMING IN.
I'M JUST SAYING.
CEASER IS AN ASS[bleep].
THAT'S HOW HE IS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
LIKE, [bleep]'S FAMILY
REGARDLESS.
WE CAME UP IN THIS BUSINESS
TOGETHER, SO YOU CAN'T FORGET
WHERE YOU CAME FROM.
>> EVERYBODY ELSE HEAR ME?
WHAT I SAY?
[bleep] O'[bleep].
[dramatic hip-hop music]
[buzzing]

>> WHAT'S UP?
>> WHAT UP, BRO?
>> I'M DOING [bleep].
>> I'M DRAWING.
>> DRAWING WHAT?
SO WHAT'S UP, MAN?
WHAT'S UP WITH THIS VEGAS
[bleep], MAN?
HOW YOU DOING THAT?
GOT BILLS TO PAY, AND YOU'RE
TAKING EIGHT PEOPLE TO VEGAS?
>> YEAH.
>> HIT THE LOTTO OR SOMETHING
ELSE YOU AIN'T TELLING ME ABOUT?
CEASER PLANS TO TAKE EVERYBODY
TO VEGAS, ONE OF THE BIGGEST
TATTOO CONVENTIONS IN THE WORLD.
I DON'T THINK CEASER'S BEING
REALISTIC ABOUT HOW MUCH
THIS VEGAS TRIP COULD COST HIM.
>> IT'S CALLED CLEARING
YOUR [bleep] SAVINGS OUT.
>> AND THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU?
>> YEAH, PERFECT SENSE
AS AN INVESTMENT IN
OUR BUSINESS.
I THINK IF ALL GOES WELL
IN THE TATTOO CONVENTION,
THE BUSINESS WILL START BOOMING.
WE HAVE TO GO TO VEGAS.
THERE'S NOT TOO MANY
BLACK PEOPLE IN ANY
TATTOO CONVENTION OR THE
TATTOO INDUSTRY, PERIOD.
WE'RE LIKE A SPOT IN A BOWL
OF MILK.
>> WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
IN THE MEANTIME TO GET SOME
MONEY UP BEFORE WE GO?
>> I'MA WORK NIGHT AND DAY.
>> I WAS THINKING ABOUT
SOMETHING.
>> WHAT YOU'S THINKING?
>> WE GONNA HIRE [bleep] BACK,
YO.
>> WHAT? WHAT?
>> SO MANY PEOPLE COME HERE
AND ASK FOR THAT KID.
HE COULD BRING SOME MONEY
INTO THE SHOP.
AS A BUSINESSMAN,
JUST THINK ABOUT
THAT MONEY THAT COULD BRING IN.
>> TED'S RIGHT.
O'[bleep] DOES HAVE SOME
LOYAL CLIENTELE, BUT
YOU HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE,
AND YOU GOT TO DO IT
THE RIGHT WAY.
[dramatic percussive music]
*
>> SINCE CEASER FIRED ME,
I GET EVICTED,
AND ON TOP OF ALL THINGS,
MY DAUGHTER MOVES BACK TO TEXAS
TO BE WITH HER MOM.
I'M AT MY LOWEST POINT
RIGHT NOW.
I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A CHANCE
FOR REDEMPTION, BUT
AT THIS POINT, I DON'T REALLY
KNOW HOW CEASER FEELS ABOUT
LETTING ME BACK INTO THE SHOP.
>> SO AFTER TALKING TO TED,
I'MA SIT DOWN WITH [bleep].
BUT I'M GONNA LET THAT [bleep]
KNOW: IF I HIRE HIM BACK,
THAT'S GONNA BE ON MY TERMS.
YOU'RE GONNA BE ON PROBATION.
YOU'RE GONNA WORK A COUPLE DAYS,
ONLY WHEN I'M HERE.
IF YOU [bleep] UP, IT'S OVER.
DON'T COME BACK.
DON'T TALK TO ME.
DON'T SAY [bleep] TO ME.
WE SEE EACH OTHER IN THE STREET,
JUST KEEP ON MOVING.
>> THAT YOU DON'T GOT
TO WORRY ABOUT.
LIKE, I'M ON POINT RIGHT NOW.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN I'M AT
THE BOTTOM, ALL YOU CAN DO IS
JUST CLIMB UP.
>> UM, YEAH, AND ANOTHER THING:
NO MORE GETTING INTOXICATED.
IF YOU'RE NOT SOBER IN HERE,
YOU'RE GOING HOME.
IF YOU COME IN HERE LOOKING LIKE
YOU HAVE A HANGOVER,
YOU'RE GOING HOME.
>> REALLY, CEASER, YOU'RE GONNA
TELL ME THAT I CAN'T DRINK?
THIS TATTOO SHOP IS LIKE A BAR
HALF THE TIME.
LIKE, EVERYBODY'S ALWAYS DRUNK,
BUT I GET IT.
I DO THE TATTOOS.
EVERYBODY ELSE WORKS
BEHIND THE COUNTER.
>> IF YOU'RE LATE,
YOU'RE GOING HOME.
>> WAIT, HOW LATE?
>> LET'S DO IT LIKE
A REGULAR JOB.
YOU'RE 15 MINUTES LATE,
YOU GO HOME.
>> ALL RIGHT, HALF AN HOUR
JUST TO COMPROMISE?
>> NO, HALF HOUR IF YOU CALL ME
OR TEXT ME.
>> ALL RIGHT, THAT WORKS.
I CAN TAKE THAT.
>> OKAY.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> SO...
SO...
>> WHEN CAN I START BACK?
>> CHECK WITH WALTER.
HE'LL PUT YOU ON THE SCHEDULE.
>> A'IGHT, WILL DO.
GOOD GUY, YO.
AT THIS POINT,
MY DAUGHTER'S GONE,
I'M BROKE AS A JOKE,
AND I REALLY GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT I DO MY BEST BECAUSE
THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE
TO GET THINGS RIGHT.
YO, CEASE.
>> LATER.
>> EVEN THOUGH I'M A JERK,
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU
IN A BIND.
I MAY HAVE SOME BAD QUALITIES
ABOUT ME, BUT ONE THING I KNOW
THAT I'M A GOOD FRIEND.
[hip-hop music]

GONNA TURN IT UP?
>> MAN...
>> NO, NO, NO, NO.

Y'ALL DON'T EVEN KNOW.
I'M ABOUT TO GO GET A WHOLE--
I'M GONNA GO TRANSFORM.
>> GONNA GET SOME [bleep]?
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW MAD MIXXXY

THEY WANT TO JUST BE WHEREVER
THE COOL THING IS HAPPENING,
AND THERE'S ALWAYS COOL [bleep]
GOING DOWN AT BLACK INK.
[door buzzes]

LIKE, I'M A BIRD-WATCHER NOW.
>> CEASER, DUTCHESS COMING.
DUTCHESS COMING.

CEASER AND DUTCHESS'
RELATIONSHIP REMINDS ME
OF THE THIRD GRADE RELATIONSHIP.
HITTING THE GIRL.
THEN HER HITTING HIM BACK.
"I DON'T LIKE YOU."
"NO, I DON'T LIKE YOU."
BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DON'T KNOW WITH THEM TWO.

TO BE THE PIONEER FOR THE NEXT
GENERATION OF BLACK TATTOO
ARTISTS.
I NEVER REALLY WANTED
A BATMAN AND ROBIN THING.
I DON'T BELIEVE [bleep] IS
A SIDEKICK.
I BELIEVE [bleep] CAN STAND
ON HIS OWN.
OH, I LIKE THIS PICTURE.
I MIGHT HAVE TO GET THIS [bleep]

[upbeat electronic music]
*
>> WHOO!
[indistinct chatter]
>> HOLA!
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY,
AND MY BIRTHDAY PARTY
AT BLACK INK IS TURNT UP
RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S LADIES EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S HENNESSY EVERYWHERE.
EVERYBODY'S HAVING A GOOD TIME.
>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
>> THANK YOU!
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> YOU CAN'T DRINK HENNY?
>> NO.
>> YOU SUPPOSED TO SIP.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DRINK.
WHERE I'M FROM IN THE BRONX,
THERE'S A BLOCK CALLED
HENNESSY PLACE.
YEAH, THERE'S A LIQUOR STORE
RIGHT ON HENNY.
DRINK HENNY ON HENNY.
>> HI, LADIES.
>> HI.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
CAN I GET A HUG?
>> HI.
>> THE GIRLS HAVE THEIR PANTIES
IN A BUNCH ABOUT THE WHOLE
FASHION SHOW, SO I'M TRYING
TO MAKE AN EFFORT,
TRYING TO DO SOMETHING NICE.
>> AW!
>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
I KNOW THAT ME AND YOU
ARE NOT THAT CLOSE,
BUT I'M HOPING THAT THIS CAN BE
SOMETHING WHERE ME AND YOU CAN,
LIKE...
>> AW.
>> AND BECAUSE WE'RE GIRLS,
I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE YOU OUT
OF IT EITHER.
>> AW!
>> WE ALL DESERVE ROSES,
EVEN THOUGH THE GUYS ARE NOT
GONNA GET US NONE.
>> OH, MY GOD.
WE'RE ABOUT TO WALK UP THE
STREET RIGHT NOW AND GO BUY YOU
A FLOWER.
US AND ALEX,
WE'RE LIKE FRENEMIES.
WE PLAY NICE TOGETHER,
BUT I KNOW THAT I CANNOT
TRUST HER 100%.
I HEARD THAT MISSY HAD
A PHOTO SHOOT.
HOW DID THAT GO?
>> WHEN I GOT THERE,
HOMEGIRL'S LIKE,
"OH, WE'RE NOT DOING YOUR HAIR.
WE'RE PUTTING A WIG ON YOU."
AND I'M HERE LIKE,
"I WISH I HAD DUTCHESS
AND SASSY NEXT TO ME."
>> WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?
>> WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US
TO COME?
SO ALEX'S SNEAKY ASS WENT
AND HAD A PHOTO SHOOT SET UP
FOR HERSELF WITHOUT DUTCHESS
AND I KNOWING,
AND SHE KNEW ABOUT IT
THE WHOLE TIME THAT WE WERE
DEALING WITH THE FASHION SHOW,
AND SHE DIDN'T SAY [bleep].
WHAT IF YOU'RE PRESENTED
WITH AN OPPORTUNITY?
>> WOULD YOU THINK
TO INCLUDE US?
>> YES, I WOULD DEFINITELY
INCLUDE YOU GUYS.
>> THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S GOOD.
>> I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHY
I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO COME.
'CAUSE SASSY WHAT YOU HAVE
TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT I CANNOT
BE IN A ROOM WITH YOU TWO ALONE
AND NOT HAVE MY DIRECTOR BEING
LIKE, "WHO'S THAT?
WHO'S THAT?
CAN WE GET THEM ALL TOGETHER?"
>> I FEEL LIKE WHAT YOU JUST
SAID IS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE
THINGS WHERE IT'S JUST LIKE,
"I DON'T WANT YOU TO
OVER-SHINE ME."
>> NO, SASSY, IF THAT WAS THE
CASE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOT YOU
A ROSE, AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER
GOT YOU A ROSE.
>> I'M NOT ASKING TO BE
IN YOUR PHOTO.
I'M JUST ASKING TO BE THERE,
BITCH, FOR YOU.
>> IF YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS
WITH SOMEBODY, YOU DON'T TREAT
THEM LIKE THEY'RE YOUR
COMPETITION.
THAT'S MESSED UP.
>> IT'S ABOUT YOU HAVING
SUPPORT.
>> IT'S AN OPEN DOOR NOW.
SO IF YOU WANT US THERE,
TELL US.
WE CAN'T READ YOUR MIND.
I'M TRYING TO GIVE ALEX
THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
EVERYONE HAS WARNED ME,
YOU KNOW, DON'T TRUST HER,
BUT THE SOUTHERN BELLE IN ME--
I JUST--I'M GONNA BE COOL
WITH YOU UNTIL YOU SHOW ME
THAT I SHOULDN'T ME.
>> HI, WALTER.
>> YEAH, I INTERRUPTED, Y'ALL.
THEY SPILLED HENNY ON ME.
THEY BEEN SPILLING HENNY ON MY
DAMN SHOES ALL NIGHT.
THEY'RE ALL DISRESPECTFUL.
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT
THEY [bleep] ON MY FLOOR,
SPILLING HENNY ON ME ALL NIGHT.
>> LISTEN, WE DON'T GET GIRL
TIME TOO MUCH, OKAY?
>> WALTER, GET THE [bleep] OUT!
>> I'M OUT! I'M OUT! I'M OUT!
>> GET THE [bleep] OUT!
>> I'M LEAVING. I'M SORRY.
>> WE LOVE WALT, BUT WE GOT TO
GET TO THE BOTTOM OF ALEX AND
TED'S BULL[bleep], 'CAUSE ALEX
IS REALLY ACTING REAL STUPID
OVER THIS DUDE.
>> I JUST WANT TO KNOW.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH
TEDDY RUX?
TEDDY RUX IS LIKE,
"OH, I WANTED THAT CUTE-ASS
SPANISH [bleep].
I GOT THAT CUTE-ASS SPANISH
[bleep]."
ALEX IS LIKE,
"OH, I WANTED TEDDY RUX.
TEDDY RUX HAD ME.
AND NOW WE'RE GONNA BE TOGETHER
FOREVER."
>> YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND
WHEN A HUMAN BEING DON'T
UNDERSTAND OR COMPREHEND
WHAT IS IN FRONT OF THEM,
FEAR BUILDS UP.
SO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
WITH FEAR?
YOU BUILD A WALL UP.
SO WHEN YOU BUILD THAT WALL UP,
YOU'RE JUST COLD.
>> LISTEN TO ME.
THIS IS BLACK INK.
YOU OF ALL PEOPLE KNOW
WHAT IT IS IN THE SHOP.
AND [bleep] WANT TO TELL YOU
WHATEVER HE WANT TO TELL YOU
IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE,
BUT THE SECOND THAT YOU WALK
OUT THAT DOOR, THAT [bleep]
GONNA BE [bleep].
AND YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
>> I KNOW THIS BITCH
CANNOT BE THAT DELUSIONAL
TO THINK THAT
HE'S REALLY, LIKE,
WIFED HER UP.
>> ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
THAT [bleep]?
ALEX.
THOSE DIMPLES?
THAT [bleep]?
COME ON.
>> THIS DRESS.
>> WHAT? THAT DRESS.
[bleep].
>> YOU GOT FLOWERS?
THE [bleep] ARE MINE AT?
YOU GUYS CRYING?
>> OH, BECAUSE YOU GUYS GOT
THEM, RIGHT?
>> CAN I GET A FLOWER?
>> GET OFF OF ME.
>> BIRTHDAY FLOWER?
>> WE GOT TO GO.
NOW IT'S PARTY TIME.
>> WHOO!
>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
[cheering]
[upbeat dance music]
*
>> I LOVE YOU.
>> OOH, THAT WAS HOT.
OH, MY GOD.
THEY'RE MAKING OUT.
THEY'RE TOTALLY MAKING OUT
RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US.
OH, MY GOD.
THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
IN FRONT OF ME.
THAT HAS TO BE THE GREATEST
THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN AMERICA
OUTSIDE OF SEEING MY DAUGHTER
BEING BORN.
A LESBIAN ACTION.
>> A LESBIAN ACTION?
OH!
OH, OH, OH!
THIS PARTY RIGHT HERE IS CRAZY.
LIKE, IT'S TOTALLY, LIKE,
STARTED OFF THE RIGHT WAY.
>> [laughs]
WHOO!
>> I LOVE Y'ALL.
TED LOVES ALL THE [bleep].
AND ALL THE [bleep] LOVE TED.
WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?
[indistinct chatter]
>> THAT'S WHY I SAID THAT
SHE COME HERE.
>> YO, NO, NO, NO.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
>> CAN'T SAY THAT I'M SURPRISED
TO SEE TED AND A MIXXXY
GOING INTO AN EMPTY ROOM.
I TOLD YOU, ALEX.
>> WHERE'S ALEX?
>> BUT I NEED TO SHOW THIS GIRL,
SO SHE CAN SEE FOR HERSELF
WHAT KIND OF GUY SHE'S MESSING
AROUND WITH.
[soft chatter]
>> SOMEBODY IN THERE.
>> IF SOMEBODY IN THERE
[bleep], I'M GONNA OPEN THIS
[bleep] DOOR.
>> JUST OPEN THE DOOR.
>> I'M RIGHT HERE!
I'M NOT GOING NOWHERE.
YES.
>> WHAT THE [bleep]
ARE THEY DOING?
>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABE!
>> THANK YOU, BABY.
>> [laughs] HEY.
>> MIXXXIES ARE LIKE THE
ICE CREAM TRUCK FOR TEDDY RUX.
HE LITERALLY SAMPLES AND GETS
WHATEVER FLAVOR THAT HE WANTS.
>> IT'S LIKE HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN.
I'M NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL.
YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER PUT
YOUR [bleep] IN MY [bleep]
IF YOU KNEW YOU WERE GONNA
GO DO THAT.
STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN.
THERE'S NO EXCUSE AROUND IT.
YOU'RE A GROWN-ASS MAN.
MAN THE [...] UP.
THAT HURTS.
THAT REALLY HURTS.
[dramatic hip-hop music]

[indistinct chatter]

I GOT LOVE FOR TEDDY,

THAT'S WHAT I WANT Y'ALL

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

>> SHE BETTER GET USED TO IT.
>> YES, YOU HURT ME.
YOU DONE WHAT YOU DID.
KARMA'S A BITCH.
I'M NOT GONNA SIT HERE
AND FEEL BAD.
I'M NERVOUS.
>> I'M SITTING IN MY OFFICE.
I'M CHILLING.
HERE COMES ALEX BY HERSELF.
>> I HAVE NO UNDERWEAR ON.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE A BRA ON
NEITHER.
YOU'RE COMPLETELY NAKED
UNDER THAT DRESS, AIN'T YOU?
YOU AIN'T GOT NO BRA ON.
YOU AIN'T GOT NO PANTIES ON.
FEELS LIKE SHE'S COMING ON
TO ME.
OH, GOD, ALEX,
YOU GOT TO GET OUT.
MY BRAIN IS TELLING ME TO GO,
BUT MY [bleep] IS TELLING ME
TO STAY.
>> LOOK, I CAN EVEN, LIKE--

BITCH.
OPEN THE [bleep] DOOR!
ALEX, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THERE!

[dramatic hip-hop music]
*
>> IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING,
LET ME KNOW.
>> NO, I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
IT JUST AIN'T ME.
IT'S LIKE, "YOU GO FROM TED

LIKE, NAH, I'M MORE SELECTIVE
THAN THAT.
I GOT TO GET THE [bleep]

NOTHING HAPPENED BETWEEN

I'M GONNA LEAVE THIS [bleep]
THE [bleep] ALONE.

>> WE NEED TO TALK.
>> LET ME SIT DOWN.
LET ME SIT DOWN.
>> ALEX WAS JUST TRYING
TO [bleep] CEASE.
>> YEAH?
>> YEAH.
IF THIS IS SERIOUS,
IT'S ABOUT TO BE A DRAG-OUT
IN THIS BITCH.
YOU ALREADY [bleep] TED.
NOW YOU WANT TO [bleep] CEASE?
WHO DOES THAT [bleep]?
I'M NOT A FAKE-ASS FRIEND

RIGHT [bleep] NOW.
SHE BETTER WALK THE [bleep]
OUT THE SHOP.
BRING YOUR [bleep] ASS OUTSIDE,
ALEX.
>> WHOO!
>> COME ON, COME ON.
'CAUSE ALEX IS GETTING HER ASS
WHUPPED RIGHT NOW.
SHE TRIED TO [bleep] CEASE,
AND THEN CEASE LIED TO ME.
>> WHO LIED TO YOU?
>> YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY
[bleep].

I AIN'T WITH THAT.
>> WHO BE LOOKING FOR--
>> WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU
RIGHT NOW?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU
RIGHT NOW?
I HAVE NEVER SEEN DUTCHESS
ACT LIKE THIS BEFORE.
>> OPEN THIS DOOR.
BRING YOUR ASS OUTSIDE!
BRING YOUR ASS THE [bleep]
OUTSIDE!
>> EVERYBODY STARTED GETTING
A LITTLE CRAZY.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
IT WAS JUST FIGHTS ALL OVER
THE PLACE.
[indistinct shouting]
>> CALL ALEX.
>> YO, WHAT UP?
>> I THINK IT HAS A LOT TO DO
WITH THAT BROWN WATER THAT
THEY WAS ALL SIPPING ON.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
A LOT--LOT OF THEM BE THINKING
THAT THEY CAN HANDLE IT
BUT REALLY CAN'T.
[indistinct arguing]
>> I'LL FIGHT YOU!
MOVE. MOVE, BITCH.
MOVE, MOVE.
[indistinct arguing]
>> THROUGH ALL OF THIS,
CEASER HAS TO KEEP A COOL HEAD.
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> WHAT THE [bleep] IS WRONG
WITH THESE [bleep], YO?
>> I SHOULD HAVE KNEW
SOMETHING.
YOU CAN'T PUT SO MUCH MIXXXIES
TOGETHER.
THEY GONNA CALL THE POLICE, MAN.
[siren wailing]
COPS SHOWING UP.
SO I CLEARED THE [bleep] SPOT
OUT.
[indistinct arguing]
>> Y'ALL AIN'T GOT TO GO HOME,
BUT Y'ALL GOT TO GET THE [bleep]
OUT OF HERE.
>> YO, YOU OUT.
[police siren wailing]
>> LET GO. LET GO.
>> I AIN'T NEVER HAVING ANOTHER
DAMN PARTY.
>> I'M SAYING THAT I DON'T THINK
YOU SHOULD GO BECAUSE I'M
[bleep] CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR
LIFE AND HER NOT [bleep]
PUNCHING YOU IN YOUR--
>> SO LET HER PUNCH ME
IN MY FACE!
>> WHY? WHY?
>> LET HER DO IT. LET HER DO IT.
>> I'M SAYING SHE'S BANNED
FROM THIS SHOP, AND SHE'S DONE.
>> SHE'S BASICALLY FIRING ALEX.
>> RIGHT, AND I AM.
[dramatic electronic music]
*
>> HOLA, MAMI.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
CAN WE HUG?
>> ALEX CALLED ME
AFTER ALL THE DRAMA,
'CAUSE SHE WANTS TO MEET WITH ME
AND TALK.
SO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU.
HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?
>> NOT GOOD.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED?
>> WE HAD TWO DRINKS,
AND I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.
SOMEONE PUT SOMETHING
IN MY DRINK.
>> WHY WOULD ANYBODY PUT--
THAT'S WILD.
NUMBER ONE: NO ONE ROOFIED
HER DRINK.
NUMBER TWO: I BELIEVE
YOU'RE LYING.
I BELIEVE YOU REMEMBER EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED, BUT YOU'RE JUST
SO ASHAMED THAT YOU DON'T WANT
TO DEAL WITH IT.
>> I COULD TELL THAT YOU HAD
HAD MAYBE A DRINK OR TWO,
BUT TO ME YOU DIDN'T SEEM
AT ALL CRAZY.
WE WENT IN THE ROOM.
WE ALL TALKED.
EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
WHATEVER SITUATION THAT HAPPENED
BETWEEN YOU AND CEASE--
I DON'T EVEN KNOW EXACTLY
WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
ALL I HEAR IS DUTCHESS SCREAMING
AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS
THAT SHE'S ABOUT TO BEAT
YOUR [bleep] ASS BECAUSE
YOU TRIED TO [bleep] CEASE.
>> I DO NOT DO [bleep]
LIKE THAT.
ALL I COULD REMEMBER
IS GIVING THEM ROSES.
EVERYTHING ELSE, I DON'T
REMEMBER, 'CAUSE I KNOW SOMEONE
ROOFIED MY DRINK.
I MANAGE THE SHOP.
I COULD HAVE BEEN IN HAVE
IN THAT OFFICE FOR MORE THAN
10 MINUTES FIXING SOME KIND OF
PAPERS, TALKING SOMETHING
WITH CEASER.
I'M NOT THE TYPE TO, LIKE,
FORNICATE WITH PEOPLE THAT
I WORK WITH.
AND TEDDY'S THE FIRST EXAMPLE
OF WHY YOU DON'T HOOK UP
WITH PEOPLE AT WORK.
>> RIGHT, RIGHT.
>> I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THAT.
[laughs]
>> AS OF RIGHT NOW, WHAT ARE YOU
FEELING ABOUT VEGAS?
ARE YOU--YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
SHOULD COME TO VEGAS?
BECAUSE I'M GONNA SAY THIS
TO YOU--THIS IS OUT FRONT,
STRAIGHT UP,
DUTCHESS CAN'T LOOK AT YOU.
SHE'S NOT TRYING TO TALK TO YOU.
SHE'S NOT--NONE OF THAT.
>> GUESS WHAT?
NONE OF YOU GUYS KNOW HOW
TO PUT TOGETHER WHAT YOU GUYS
GOT TO DO IN VEGAS.
YOU GUYS NEED ME.
NEED ME.
>> I'M KIND OF TRYING TO HINT
AT ALEX THAT I REALLY DON'T
THINK THAT SHE SHOULD COME
TO VEGAS, BUT THAT SEEMS
TO LITERALLY JUST BE GOING
IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER.
I'M SAYING THAT I DON'T THINK
YOU SHOULD GO BECAUSE I'M
[bleep] CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR
LIFE AND HER NOT [bleep]
PUNCHING YOU IN YOUR--
>> SO LET HER PUNCH ME
IN MY FACE!
>> WHY? WHY?
>> LET HER DO IT. LET HER DO IT.
SO SHE CAN FEEL STUPID.
>> WHY?
BUT SHE'S NOT GONNA FEEL STUPID.
>> GUESS WHAT?
I'LL PUNCH YOU BACK.
>> THAT SITUATION CAUSED
A WHOLE LOT OF [bleep] DRAMA
AND A WHOLE LOT OF [bleep].
I WOULD LOVE FOR ALL OF US
TO BE ABLE TO GO TO VEGAS
AND HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME.
I WOULD LOVE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.
BUT LOOK AT YOUR FACE.
EXACTLY.
IT'S TOO [bleep] CRAZY
FOR ALL OF US TO BE IN THE
SAME [bleep] HOTEL ROOM
RIGHT NOW.
>> RIGHT.
>> YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT
I'M SAYING?
SO DON'T TAKE IT LIKE
I'M CHOOSING HER SIDE
FOR THAT REASON.
>> NOT AT ALL.
>> I JUST DON'T WANT ANYTHING
TO ESCALATE.
ALEX, IF WE GET TO [bleep]
VEGAS, DUDE, AND SOMETHING
HAPPENS TO YOU--
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
LIKE, THAT'S GONNA MAKE
EVERYBODY FEEL LIKE [bleep].
>> I HAVE PHOTO SHOOTS IN VEGAS
AND I HAVE NIGHT GIGS IN VEGAS.
BOOKINGS ALREADY BEEN BOOKED.
THAT [bleep]'S NOT GONNA ROCK
IF ALEX DOESN'T WALK.
I'M GOING TO VEGAS.
[hip-hop music]
*
>> HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
>> I JUST WENT AND HAD A LITTLE
CHITCHAT WITH MISS ALEX.
>> YO, THAT BITCH IS CRAZY.
>> SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER
THE FIGHT.
>> DOES SHE REMEMBER BEFORE
THE FIGHT?
>> SHE SAID THAT SHE TOOK YOU
IN A ROOM TO TALK TO YOU,
AND THAT'S ALL THAT HAPPENED.
>> YOU GET SOME NOOKY
FROM ALEX?
>> NO.
>> YES, YOU GOT SOME CUTTY.
YES.
>> AH, YES!
>> I DIDN'T DO NOTHING
IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
I DID NOTHING.
SWEAR ON THE BIBLE,
VIRGIN MARY,
BABY JESUS,
EVERYTHING I COULD SWEAR ON.
SHE WAS LIKE,
"AH, YEAH, THIS DRESS."
>> I'M LIKE, "OH, I'M OUT
OF HERE, BITCH."
[laughter]
>> all: YEAH!
[applause]
>> [laughs]
>> WHEN I HEARD THAT ALEX
WAS TRYING TO THROW HERSELF
ON CEASE,
I WAS ABOUT TO KILL THAT BITCH.
AT THE END OF THE DAY,
YOU [bleep] UP.
ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG,
SO WE CAN KEEP IT MOVING.
SHE CAN'T EVEN DO THAT.
>> HOW YOU DOIN', MAMA DUTCHESS?
YOU BETTER NOW?
>> WHAT DID SHE SAY?
>> I TOLD HER I DIDN'T THINK
SHE SHOULD COME TO VEGAS.
>> GOOD ADVICE.
>> SHE SAID THAT SHE'S GOING.
>> BAD IDEA.
CAN'T WAIT.
ALEX, YOU ALREADY [bleep] TED.
THOSE [bleep] IS FAMILY.
IT PUSHED ME TO THE LEVEL
OF DISGUST BECAUSE I COULDN'T
EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW I BEFRIENDED
SOMEBODY WITH SUCH LOW-ASS
MORAL VALUES.
I'MA TELL Y'ALL THIS:
ALEX DOESN'T MAKE THIS BUSINESS'
MONEY.
I DO.
SO SHE'S REALLY IRRELEVANT.
SO WHEN SHE GETS TO THE ROOM
THINKING THAT SHE ABOUT TO BE
WITH FAMILY,
"YOU ARE ADOPTED, BITCH."
I JUST HOPE SHE DON'T GET
JET LAG FROM FLYING ALL THE WAY
OUT THERE, AND THEN FLYING
THE [bleep] RIGHT BACK,
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN.
I'M SAYING SHE'S BANNED
FROM THIS SHOP, AND SHE'S DONE.
>> SHE'S BASICALLY FIRING ALEX.
>> RIGHT, AND I AM.
>> SHE'S FIRING ALEX.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT,
CEASER?
>> WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL
I'M GONNA DO WITH DUTCHESS.
SHE'S TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM
LIKE SHE'S THE BOSS.
I'M NOT GOING FOR THAT [bleep].
ALEX IS A GREAT MANAGER.
NO CUSTOMER HAS EVER COMPLAINED
ABOUT HER.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
WE CAN'T BE GOING AWAY TO THIS
TATTOO CONVENTION LIKE THIS.
>> WE TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS,
AND IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE.
AND IF YOU WANT HER THERE,
THEN I'M NOT GONNA BE THERE,
AND YOU CAN COUNT WHATEVER
I COULD DO THERE AS A LOSS.
'CAUSE SHE CAN'T DO [bleep]
FOR YOU.
IT'S A TATTOO CONVENTION,
NOT A [bleep] CONVENTION, OKAY?
I'M IN A NEW PLACE.
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ME.
AND I DON'T WANT NOBODY EVER
TO THINK THAT YOU CAN CROSS ME
WITHOUT ANY REPERCUSSIONS.
GUESS WHAT?
I'MA BE LIKE THIS,
'CAUSE I [bleep] WAS A GOOD
FRIEND TO THAT BITCH.
I AIN'T NEVER HAD NONE OF MY
FRIENDS DISRESPECT ME LIKE THIS.
DOWN SOUTH, WE DON'T DO [bleep]
LIKE THIS.
LOYALTY IS EVERYTHING
WHERE I'M FROM.
SO WE SHOULD ALL BE AGAINST
THAT [bleep] [bleep].
Y'ALL JUST ENJOY VEGAS.
THAT'S ALL I WANT Y'ALL TO DO.
I'M [bleep] DONE WITH THIS
[bleep].
>> THE [bleep] IS GOING ON
IN HERE, YO?
NAH.
>> YO.
>> YO, MAN, YOU BEEN
TO THE SHOP, YO, THIS MORNING?
>> I WANT TO COME HOME.
PEOPLE UP HERE, THEY DIFFERENT
THAN PEOPLE AT HOME, R.J.
[quirky synthesized music]
*
>> WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, YO?
NAH...
THIS [bleep]...
>> YO.
>> YO, MAN, YOU BEEN
TO THE SHOP, YO, THIS MORNING?
>> YO, I CAME IN THIS MORNING.
I AIN'T BELIEVE THAT [bleep]
[bleep] TRYING TO [bleep]
AROUND, MAN.
>> I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT,
LIKE, WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE
OF THIS?
LIKE, WHAT DID THEY THINK
THEY WAS GONNA ACCOMPLISH
BY JUST TEARING OUT THE NAME
OF THE SHOP?
>> THEY [bleep] HATIN', YO.
>> THIS IS CRAZY RIGHT HERE.
YO, WHAT TIME YOU GONNA BE HERE
AT, MAN?
'CAUSE THIS IS--THIS IS NUTS.
WE GOT TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON, MAN.
I'M AT THE SHOP NOW.
I'M ABOUT TO OPEN UP THE SHOP
NOW.
I'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET HERE,
YO.
THIS IS SOME REAL HATIN' TYPE
[bleep] RIGHT HERE.
LIKE, SOMEBODY REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY, LIKE, GOT THAT MUCH TIME
ON THEY HANDS TO REALLY DO THIS.
LIKE, GET A LIFE.
COME ON, NOW, REALLY?
>> YO, THIS IS SO BEAST, THOUGH.
>> SALTY OVER THE NAME.
>> DAMN!
>> HEY, MAN.
BOLD WITH HOLES, BABY.
>> WHO DID THIS?
>> IT'S, LIKE--NAH, IT'S CRAZY.
IF YOU DID ALL THAT--DONE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
>> HOW DID HE GET TO THIS PART?
>> YEAH, YOU GOT NO LIFE.
>> YOU WAS DEAD OUT HERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
JUST, LIKE--
>> YEAH, OUT THERE CUTTING UP
[bleep].
I FEEL LIKE MAYBE ALEX
PROBABLY JUST GOT REALLY WASTED
AND CAME BACK, VANDALIZED
THE BLACK INK SIGN.
I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU GONNA DO ALL THAT?
YOU AIN'T GOT NO LIFE.
YOU KNOW, THEY HATIN'.
IT'S ALL GOOD.
WE SEE YOU HATERS.
[bleep] LEROY!
HOLY--NAH, LEROY!
AH, AH!
>> NO, LIKE, ALWAYS SOMETHING...
>> AH, HE'S BITING MY BALLS!
>> WAIT, GUYS.
NO, FOR REAL, THOUGH,
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT THIS?
THIS IS THE TYPE OF [bleep] THAT
I FEEL LIKE IT'D BREAK CEASER.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
>> [scoffs]
THIS SOME HATIN' [bleep], YO.
[bleep] MY DAY, MAN, LIKE...
[scoffs]
>> YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS LIKE THIS
RIGHT NOW.
GOT TO GET CHANGED IMMEDIATELY,
BRO.
WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
[grunts]
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THIS
[bleep] GONNA [bleep] COST, YO?
>> I AIN'T EVEN TRYING TO THINK
ABOUT ALL THAT, BRO.
THIS IS CRAZY.
>> YO, THIS [bleep] [bleep].
[groans]
[sighs]
>> I WAS PISSED OFF.
I COME IN, SEE THE [bleep] SIGN
VANDALIZED...
[bleep] DONE WITH THIS [bleep].
THAT IS WILD DISRESPECTFUL.
JUST DESTROYING THE SIGN--
THAT [bleep] COST A COUPLE
DOLLARS.
[bleep] THEY THINKIN'?
>> SOME PEOPLE GONNA WALK BY
THE SHOP AND NOT EVEN KNOW THAT
IT'S BLACK INK.
THIS IS WHERE OUR CULTURE IS.
WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT THIS
AVENUE TO LOOK AS BEAUTIFUL
AS IT ALWAYS DOES?
I CAME HERE FROM NORTH CAROLINA
TO GET--YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M SAYING--
THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR,
THE CULTURE, THE HARLEM
RENAISSANCE.
EVERYBODY RIGHT HERE CAN BE
LIKE, "DAMN, THAT [bleep]
DOING HIS [bleep].
I'M SO PROUD OF THAT [bleep].
LOOK AT WHAT--LOOK AT THE
[bleep] THAT THEY BUILT,
AND LOOK AT HOW THEY DOING THIS.
LOOK AT HOW THEY MOVING THAT."
THAT'S THE TYPE OF [bleep]
IT SHOULD BE.
>> RIGHT.
>> WHY WE CAN'T DO THAT
TOGETHER?
WHY WE GOT TO DO IT
INDIVIDUALLY?
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PLACE
WHERE BLACK, WHITE, ANYBODY THAT
COME IN THIS DOOR--LOOK AT
BLACK PEOPLE SUCCESSFULLY
AND BE PROUD TO SEE THAT
[bleep].
>> IT SUCKS THAT THE AWNING
WAS SLASHED, BUT DUTCHESS--
I HAVE NEVER SEEN HER FLIP OUT
LIKE THIS.
>> FOR REAL.
I'M SICK OF THAT [bleep].
>> DOES IT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
WITH ALEX?
>> MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR ME
TO COME HOME.
MAYBE I SHOULD LEAVE NEW YORK
FOR GOOD.
MAYBE I'M NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS.
[percussive hip-hop music]
*
[line trilling]
>> HELLO?
>> WHAT YOU DOING?
>> I WANT TO COME HOME.
PEOPLE UP HERE, THEY DIFFERENT
THAN PEOPLE AT HOME, R.J.
THESE PEOPLE UP HERE--
THEY MAKE YOU BELIEVE THAT,
YOU KNOW, Y'ALL ARE FRIENDS
AND EVERYTHING,
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
THEY'LL DO ANYTHING TO GET OVER.
>> I WAS REALLY UPSET.
THIS SITUATION WITH ALEX...
IT'S NOT GONNA MAKE BUSINESS
BETTER.
SHE KNOW HOW ME AND CEASE--
HOW WE GOT FEELINGS FOR
EACH OTHER.
HOW DARE HER TRY TO STEP
ON MY TOES?
NO, WELL, THERE'S PEOPLE LIKE
THAT EVERYWHERE, BUT I'M JUST
AT THE POINT WHERE I FEEL LIKE
I CAN CHOOSE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE
I WANT TO HAVE AROUND ME.
>> I JUST DIDN'T THINK IT WAS
GONNA BE LIKE THIS.
THERE'S SO MUCH DRAMA BEING IN
THE--BEING IN THIS SHOP.
LIKE, WORKING IS COOL,
BUT THE DRAMA THAT COMES
WITH IT...
IT'S SOME [bleep].
MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR ME
TO COME HOME.
MAYBE I SHOULD LEAVE NEW YORK
FOR GOOD.
MAYBE I'M NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS.
I CARE ABOUT CEASE.
I REALLY DO.
I LOVE CEASE WITH ALL MY HEART,
'CAUSE THAT'S MY, LIKE--
THAT'S, LIKE, MY FRIEND,
FOR REAL.
WHEN I'M GOING THROUGH [bleep],
THAT'S WHO HELP ME.
IF I QUIT TODAY FROM BLACK INK,
I'D HOPE AND PRAY THAT ME AND
CEASE WILL STILL BE FRIENDS.
I DON'T KNOW.
I GOT TO--I GOT TO FIND
SOME PEACE.
[sniffles]
[sighs]
[dramatic hip-hop music]
*
>> EVEN THOUGH WE'RE IN VEGAS
AND THIS IS SIN CITY,
WE HAVE TO STAY FOCUSED.
WE GOT A JOB TO DO.
>> WHAT'S YOUR INTENTIONS
WITH ME?
AS MY FATHER WOULD SAY.
>> I'D BE A FOOL NOT TO EXPLORE
THE POSSIBILITY.
MM.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD
ABOUT YOUR HOMEGIRL ALEX.
>> WHAT HAPPENED?
>> UH, SHE DIDN'T MAKE
HER FLIGHT.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY,
WE ALL FRIENDS HERE.
WHEN IT COMES TO BUSINESS,
IT'S--WE GONNA RUN BUSINESS.
>> I HAD MY ONE TATTOO TO DO.
I'M LIKE, "ALL RIGHT, FINALLY,
I GET THE CHANCE TO SHOWCASE
MY TALENT IN FRONT OF
EVERYBODY."
AND EVERYTHING WAS MISSING.
>> I GO AWAY FOR ONE SECOND
TO GO DO SOMETHING FOR DUTCHESS,
AND EVERYBODY [bleep] VANISHES.
>> AND IT'S SERIOUSLY BEEN,
LIKE, FOUR HOURS WE'VE BEEN
STANDING HERE, WALKING BACK
AND FORTH.
>> I SENT, UM, ONE OF MY
EMPLOYEES TO GO GET YOUR IMAGE,
AND HE NEVER CAME BACK.
THAT'S LOOKS REAL PROFESSIONAL,
HUH, WALTER?
>> COME ON.
LET'S GO.
>> I SHOULD HAVE NEVER BROUGHT
Y'ALL [bleep] OUT HERE.
>> SHOWCASE MY TALENT
IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY.
AND EVERYTHING WAS MISSING.
>> I GO AWAY FOR ONE SECOND
TO GO DO SOMETHING FOR DUTCHESS,
AND EVERYBODY [bleep] VANISHES.
>> AND IT'S SERIOUSLY BEEN,
LIKE, FOUR HOURS WE'VE BEEN
STANDING HERE, WALKING BACK
AND FORTH.
