She's Gotta Have It

First Icee of the summer!

Ready?

One dollar. One dollar. One dollar.

Hey. Thank you.

Appreciate you.

One-handed.

Oh.

Look at that!

I'm beating you!

Woo!

Now you throw it back. Now you throw it back. Throw it back.

Good job. High five, mama.

- Morning, students. - Good morning, Ms. Moss.

- You're... You're done. - Yeah.

It feels like your whole, like, toe is like...

That was you...

- ¡Carajo! - Don't look at me, man!

"Ships at a distance have every man's wish onboard.

For some, they come in with the tide.

For others, they sail forever on the horizon.

Never out of sight,

never landing until the watcher turns his eyes away in resignation,

his dreams mocked to death by time.

That is the life of men.

Now, women... forget everything they don't wanna remember

and remember everything they don't wanna forget.

The dream is the truth.

Then they act and do things accordingly."

That is the opening paragraph to my favorite novel of all time.

Hold up, I said "my," not anyone else's.

Their Eyes Were Watching God,

by the saint, Zora Neale Hurston.

Why is that?

Do yourself a flavor and read it.

You will thank me.

If I'm lyin', I'm flyin'.

And Nola Darling hasn't spread wings...

yet.

Ah.

Don't waste a drop.

- Keep tilting it for me. - Okay.

Cheers.

- To us. - To us.

I love you.

Oh, God. I love you.

I love you.

Mm, I love you.

Nola Darling...

You have just been Opal Gilstrapped.

Room service.

Do not disturb.

Oh, sorry. We'll just leave this here in the hallway.

What does your daughter think about you guys in public?

I mean, not the making out, but, like, holding hands in the street?

Um... Our daughter Skylar loves it.

Our daughter?

Um...

I mean, she's definitely curious about it.

She's way too grown for her age,

but I kinda feel like she could flip at any minute and just be over it.

No fucking way!

Ladies, me and Sky are thick as thieves, okay?

We're like sisters, it's great.

How are the two of you like sisters

when you and I are trying to raise her as a...

I'm gonna have to remember that move.

What's the story, Morning Glory?

After My Name Isn't,

I feel inspired to increase my use of video and photography

as a part of my artistic game.

So that's what we're calling it now.

I don't wanna just do one thing well, okay?

I don't wanna just be known as a painter. I wanna be multi-disciplinary.

Like who?

Magic and MJ.

Scorsese.

Prince.

Angelou.

Simone.

Sinatra.

Carrie Mae Weems.

Alexandria Smith.

Do you need more names? Do you know who they are?

I...

am a man of the arts and letters,

and I will thank you to not forget that.

Can we get my camera now?

Merci!

Can we get some help? Thanks.

- How may I help you? - Hey, man.

The lady here is looking for a model D-LUX 109

if you have 'em in stock.

Yes, we do.

- Fantastic. - The lady here definitely has a mouth.

Hi. I'm Nola Darling. What's your name?

- Gifford. - Nice to meet you, Gifford.

Yes, can we take a look at that Leica model D-LUX, please?

- Of course. - Thank you.

- Does this model take video? - Yes, it does.

Amazing.

And what is the damage?

I'll...

take it.

Ms. Darling, be right back.

- What? - It's definitely my entire rent check.

Décisions, décisions...

- Decision made. - Yeah?

Yeah. Oh! Don't hurt me now.

What is that, your shy guy?

- I don't know. - He don't know?

Thank you.

Um... May I...

uh, spread it out over three cards? Is that possible?

Anything for you, Ms. Darling.

I didn't wanna say anything, blow up your spot,

but I loved your My Name Isn't manifesto.

That was dope.

Thank you very much.

Do I get a "that was dope" discount?

And that's a no. Thank you. All right.

Laughing in my face. Cool, cool, cool.

Same shit, different day.

- Mm-hmm. Could've gone boarding. - Oh, totally.

This motherfucker.

What's up?

Joey Chainz is closed.

- Closed? - Yeah, for good.

Yeah. As usual, your late ass is late,

and for those of us who are on time all the time,

when we got here, shit was closed down, locked up.

No notice, no nothin'.

- Not even a courtesy email. - Nuh-uh. Nada.

How can they do some shit like that?

Easy. They probably got priced out, raised the rent mad crazy.

Where does that leave us?

- Ass out. - Unemployed.

So, what are we supposed to do?

Look for work!

Yo, this is some straight up shenanigans.

I'm going back to bed, y'all.

Fuck this shit.

That's some bullshit!

Let your sacred water wash over me,

cleanse me, nurture me, embrace me.

YemayáMi Madre, sustain me.

I ask you, Iyáto, fill me with your healing energy

and shine your light into me.

IyáMi Modupe,

allow your presence to be known in this Ilé,

your sacred space.

O Mio Yemayá. Ase O.

- What up, sis? - Hey, what's up?

- Huh? - Yeah.

Buenos dias to my favorite sister.

You only have una sister.

The one and only sister.

All right. Cut the bullshit. What do you want?

- Bullshit or caca? - Both.

- Alright. Let's chase to the cut. - Oh, my God, yo.

I was born this way. Act like you know.

What do you want?

Since you put it that way,

I gots the good news

and I gots the bad news. Which one you want me to hit you with first?

The good news.

Lulu,

I love you.

I love you more than any brother could love a sister

without it being freaky and shit.

I love you so much,
