Single Ladies

Val, listen, he's beautiful.

Babe, will you give him a chance?

He is so sweet, and I am telling you, you are gonna regret not meeting him.

After all the aesthetically challenged guys my mother's been

setting me up with, I think I'll pass.

Okay, when your mom says guys are sweet, that is code for fat,

bald, and living check to check.

When I say they're sweet, that means that his body is banging.

Maybe I'm missing out, but right now, I would like to find someone on my own.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'll leave it alone.

Ooh, sorry I'm late.

I had to flirt my way out of a ticket.

Did it work?

I'm gonna pretend you didn't ask me that.

So, what was this secret meeting you had to run off to?

I've decided that I'm going to get my real estate license.

Oh, so are you saying your gambling days are over?

Not at all, but I just seriously started to look at my future, and I need some stability.

So, what made you choose real estate?

Because all real estate agents do is walk through houses

doing their best vanna white impression and take home 6%.

So, I've done the math.

If I focus on high-end clients, I can bring home a hefty

commission and still have a lot of free time.

Getting your real estate license is not that easy.

Hmm.

It's no small commitment, and we know how you feel about commitments.

Then why do you have to ruin a perfectly good conversation by

bringing up that word?

You guys, Darryl just agreed to go to marriage counseling with me.

Oh!

That's the first step, right?

Honey, that is great.

That means he's at least willing to get on the road to forgiveness.

Let me keep it real.

You've been spending a lot of energy trying to get Darryl to

go to counseling, but are you ready?

Am I ready?

Yes, Keisha, I'm ready.

I want my husband back.

I know, but it's gonna get deep.

He's gonna get mad all over again.

Keisha, don't talk her out of it.

She's doing the right thing.

I'm on April's side.

I just want her to be prepared.

Well, thank you, Keisha.

I would do the same for you.

I know, but I wouldn't have gotten caught, so you wouldn't have to.

Stupid.

Hello, ladies.

Keisha, can I talk to you for a minute?

I don't have a minute.

Please?

Your minute has already started.

Okay.

I was gonna call you today and then you just walked in.

It's funny, right?

I'm not laughing, but I'm happy I could save you the trouble.

What exactly were you gonna say?

Wait a minute.

What's up with all this attitude?

Are you mad at me?

Are you joking?

Two weeks ago, I was at your house, in your bed, doing things

that would make half the people in this restaurant blush.

Then you stop returning my phone calls and you have the audacity

to ask me why I have an attitude?

You are a piece of work.

Okay, for one, I've been busy.

I was traveling, Keisha, and just--just doing my thing.

So we've been out of touch for a few days.

Big deal.

Why are you trippin'?

I was gonna call you.

You're right, I'm trippin'.

Do me a favor.

Lose my number, because I'm damn sure gonna lose yours.

Are you okay?

Mm-hmm.

And who's that chick?

Who cares?

We're done.

I'm fine.

How can you be fine with that, Keisha?

You like him.

Why couldn't he have just called?

It drives me crazy with guys.

Communicate.

You guys are too sensitive.

You let your emotions rule you.

I'm a big girl.

I knew what I got myself into when I slept with Malcolm.

We made no promises.

Mmm, this crab cake is good.

Val, have you seen this?

Gretchen Dayton and the plastic surgeon settled their divorce.

Finally!

She can pay her tab.

She owes me more than 10 gs.

I never understood the concept of a tab.

If you take the merchandise, you should have to pay for the merchandise.

It's a courtesy I extend to my wealthy clients to keep them coming back.

Plus, I felt sorry for her.

Her assets were frozen.

Then she should stop shopping until they thaw out.

Oh, they've thawed.

Ooh-whoo!

It pays to live unhappily ever after.

Omar, why do you keep staring at me?

I've just never seen you with a book.

Okay, Keisha's getting her real estate license and we

should support her endeavor.

I do support her.

I just didn't know she could read.

I'm impressed.

Actually, Omar, you were my inspiration.

I looked at your life and decided I can't possibly get

stuck where you are, so thank you.

Whoa.

Oh. Hi.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm here for the internship.

I came over from the art institute.

Yeah, but I just called an hour ago.

The interviews don't start until tomorrow.

Right.

I took your call.

I figured why wait when I already know I'd be a great asset to you?

Really?

How so?

Not only am I a fashion stylist, I do nails and hair.

I could hook your mannequins up, dress them, minx the nails, do

some hair art like animals and baskets or car emblems.

I'm really gonna have to think about that.

Thank you so much for coming in.

Oh.

Stop it.

Car emblems.

Move.

Please hire her.

For me.

Hi, I'm looking for val.

You're hired.

She's that way.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Hi. Val?

Yeah?

I'm Blake.

Your friend April sent me.

I'm in town for the next few days and she told me I should

stop by and meet you.

You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?

It's very nice to meet you, Blake, and I hope you're not too

attached to April because I'm gonna kill her.

It's my fault.

I've been having bad luck with women and she said that she had

a beautiful friend that was in the same boat with men, so it

was my bright idea to have her hook us up.

Well, I'm flattered, but I've kind of been put on the spot now, so...

Well, she may have been wrong to send me here but, uh, go easy on April.

She meant well.

And oh, by the way, this store is amazing.

I love all the windows.

It almost brings the outside inside, like it's one big space.

Pretty cool.

That's exactly why I bought it.

Are you into architecture?

No.

I just have an affinity for elegant things.

So, what brings you to Atlanta anyway?

I'm interviewing at bacchanalia.

I'm a chef.

That's one of my favorite restaurants.

Nice.

Wait a second.

You don't just interview when you're a chef.

You have to do a tasting.

So, what's on the menu?

How about I cook it for you tomorrow night?

You can be my critic.

Careful what you ask for.

Hey, Marion Jones over there, slow up, slow up.

Hold on one second.

All that running you're doing is definitely working.

Mind if I holler at you for a second?

All right, so check it out.

When's the last time you heard some music that changed your life?

Just now when I was listening to Pharrell.

I like Pharrell.

You know, he's real cool but, uh, you know, he ain't got
