[Littia] Hi, girl,
[Ashley] Joy, how are you feeling?
I'm good,
-Yeah, -Are you s-sure?

Why wouldn't I be?
Because that mother--
[whispering] Because he stole your designs,
He didn't steal my designs,

-When is she not? -Mm,
Have you seen Colton?
-Mm, He's over there, -[groans]
[Littia] Are y'all dating or not?
'Cause that don't look like y'all are dating,

[Littia] Ah, hell,
He just got out of a relationship, and I just had, like,
-a bad-- -[Ashley] A bad breakup,
Remember?
[Littia] He just don't seem to be into you,
-[Ashley] Damn, -[Littia] I'm sorry,
-Do you have to be so blunt? -Yes,
[Joy] Okay, are we keeping this up?
[Littia] I'm just tired of you letting people walk all over you,
Joy, we are not in college anymore, girl,
This is the real world,
And you holding onto this dream that Pat-Treek is gonna one day
give you your own line because you work for him?
Look at him,
That man is all about hisself,
[Joy] One day you will see,
My name will be up there, Joy Lynne Designs,
This will be my party,
Just have to be patient,

So I saw you was over there with the models,
Yeah, yeah, I know the brunette, She's from Jackson,
-Oh, really? Mm-hmm, -Oh,
-[Colton] Yeah, -And you think that's appropriate?
What do you mean?
I mean, you and Joy are dating,
-Stop, Littia, -[Colton chuckles]
What?
Come on, Joy knows how special she is to me,
She'll always be my best woman,
-Mmm, -[Littia scoffs]
What the hell does that even mean, "best woman"?
Well, you know how people have a best man, right?
When we first met, we got along great,
We watch sports together, she gives me great advice,
-Sports, -[Colton] She's just,,,
she's like one of the guys,
[chuckles] In a,,, a beautiful package,
[Colton and Joy chuckle]
[Ashley laughs] Aw,,,
As a matter of fact, I-I think it's time we take this to the next level,
[Ashley] Ah, see? See? Told you,
Next level,
Well, well, don't you got to start at level one first?
Um,,,
I want you to come to Colorado with me for the holidays,
-Really? -Yeah, Yeah, look,
I know you don't have family here, all right,
so come with me,
I want you to meet my family,
I'd love to go,
Wait, Wait, wait, wait, wait,
Do your mama be making tea?
Sure, yeah,
[hushed] Oh, she is going to a sunken place,
-Stop, -[Ashley] Littia,
[Littia] I'm just,,,
[whispering] Girl, don't go,
And, um, when we get there, I have a surprise for you,
I just want my family to be present when I ask you,
[Ashley] Ask her,,,?
-Ask her what? -Yeah,
Oh, you know what, I got to get going,
I'm supposed to meet my friend James in DC tonight,
Yeah, his dad's plane leaves in the morning,
So, um, I'll get you a ticket for a flight,
-[Ashley] Mm, -[Littia] So, she-she can't get on
this dad's plane?
I have to wrap this up, so it's-it's fine,
-All right, -What?
Ladies, you have a wonderful evening,
-[Ashley] Bye, -Get home safe, okay?
[Ashley] Oh, he wants to ask you something,
What do you think he wants to ask you? Like, marriage?
No, he-he likes to go in steps, so maybe to be his girl, I don't know,
[Littia] I don't trust him,
You don't trust anyone,
Not anyone white, for sure,
Look, I told you, don't give up on Black men,
Can we just dance, please?
-Please, -Yes, Mm-hmm,
I need another drink,
-Sure, -Cheers,

[mellow music playing]
-[knocking] -Hey,
Girl, I hope you're all packed,
I have to get the car back to my aunt, so,,,
let's hurry this up 'cause you know she can get tricky,
-Almost done, -Hurry up,
Morning, Littia,
What's with the glasses?
[Ashley] Hungover and high,
But I feel like reading,
It says here that "the hottest part of Pat-Treek's line
was his use of color in the three dresses,
It's as if he had a fresh new eye,"
That would be your two eyes,
This is in Fashion Fashion,
They own his designs,
The guy who wrote this article, Claiborne,
he needs to know that these are yours,
She still talking?
'Cause I'm packing, okay?
Joy, how are you so calm about this?
I know you hate that job,
And that man,
You don't understand this world,
Okay, so Pat-Treek paid his dues under Claiborne,
and I'm paying my dues under him,
There you go,
You come in here crying and screaming every night about this job,
And then you run off and bury your face in these romance novels for escape,
And ice cream,
Okay, I got to go 'cause y'all are ruining my zen,
And now you running off to Colton like you in one of those novels
so that you don't have to face this job and this man stabbing you in the back,
[sighs] You think he'll like this?
I do, But you know it's gonna be cold there, right?
Yeah, I looked up the weather, but I need to be sexy,
Oh, and frostbitten,
Ooh, I'm so excited,
[Littia] Hello,
Okay, ignore Littia,
but don't get your hopes up too high,
[groans]
Look, I already know that you don't like this, Littia,
But it's not even like that,
Look, we y--
What is that?
The sun, It's called light,
[sighs] We your friends, okay?
When you meet a guy, you get lost in this whole fantasy in your head,
Like in them books you be reading,
This type of shit don't happen in real life for us, okay?
-Are you calling me delusional? -[Ashley] No,
No, That's-that's not what she's saying at all,
-Right, -She's just a little concerned about you,
[Littia] That's all,
For example, when Antonio broke your heart,,,
-[Ashley] Mm-mm, -,,,you went into this whole
downward spiral,
-Littia, -[Littia] You was tripping,
And then you met that little hobbit Taylor from Nebraska,
and now you meet a dude from Colorado?
Why you can't just meet a nice nigga from the Bronx?
You know, big, swole,
[Joy] Oh, like you have?
All I'm saying is, all of a sudden, he wants you to meet his family?
You better watch your organs, girl,
'cause they just might try to take them,
And wait, hold up, should I bring up Mark?
-[Ashley] Ooh, damn, She sniped you, -[Joy] Who was married
and had all them Instagram hoes,
-Don't get me started, -[Ashley] Okay, she got you, sis,
Sorry,
Oh, Oh, okay,
Well, how about I talk about Donald?
-No, Okay, see, no, -[Joy] Oh,
-[Littia] Mm-hmm, Mm-hmm, -[Ashley] Don't bring me into this,
-because Donald,,, -Whatever,
-,,,had good credit, -Don't, don't come for me,
[Joy] All that to say we have had our share, so Colton's fine,
I've put pressure on men before, and it didn't work,
so I'm trying something different,
And, you know, when you let men be who they are
and you don't,,, you don't expect anything, it-it takes the drama out of it,
[stammering] It's a, um,,,
-It's a-- -Uh, a cop-out?
Relationships are not supposed to be hard,
When they're hard, you're forcing it,
But you got to at least be in one to--
Okay, so I-I see that you're not happy for me,
so, and I don't want to argue with you, so I'm not gonna do this with you,
Okay, let's not argue,
Let's just go to the airport, Yeah?

[Colton] Hey there,
-Hi, Hi, -Hi,
So glad to see you,
[chuckles]
-Hi, You must be-- -[Colton] Oh, this is my dad, David,
-[Joy] Hi, -Nice to meet you,
Is that your only bag?
Yeah,
[Colton] I was telling my dad how much you were into fashion,
He swore you would've had a lot of bags,
Well, normally, women from the big city, they--
[Colton] What did I tell you, Dad?
She's not like normal women, She's,,, like one of the guys,
Son, that dress is not one of the guys,
[chuckles] You must be cold,
Let's get you into the car, Come on,
-I'll take that for you, -Okay,
Can't wait for you to meet my mom and everyone else,
[Joy chuckling]
