"Previously on "Claws"..." "Des, they found blood on the lanai." " Whose blood?" " Roller's." "You okay?" "You sound a little... stressed or something." "All is well." "Your dream salon sent in a spy to check out your zhuzh." "Hey, could I settle up?" "Just a second." "Glint Nails is off the menu." "We found him... what was left of him." "He was my little brother." "I was supposed to protect him." "Only thing I need coming out of that mouth of yours is, "I don't know shit," and, "I didn't see shit."" "HHelp me." "What happened?" "They got me." "The night Roller was killed, I heard a shot." "I went out to go look, and... somebody was dragging Roller's body out to the dock." "Good lord." "II didn't even know there was somebody else in the house." "He jumped me and put a hood over my head." "They took me out to the swamp." "You're probably just confused." "Did you see any of these people?" "They kept the hood over my head." "What happened, baby girl?" "They put peanut butter all over my feet." "Then I heard pig growls." "You mean oinking?" "Yeah." "Oinking." "They found some kind of swamp pig out there." "It started licking my feet... oinking like crazy, biting my toes." "Then..." "Then I heard a rooster, a ram, and a bull..." " and I..." " Okay." "When you're dehydrated, you have a tendency to hallucinate." "That's when I realized that... they had one of those toys with... with the barnyard sounds." "There was never any pig." "It was them... biting my toes." "I thought you said you couldn't see anything." "I could see a little bit through the hood." "You know that material that's kind of like seethrough?" "I think she's talking about burlap." "Yeah." "Burlap." "How'd you get out?" "There was a screw sticking out the back of the toilet." "I used it to cut through my ties." "Then I walked on the interstate for miles and miles until someone stopped." "Did you hear any names, anything?" ""Titus." I think that's who called them." ""Titus"?" "Yeah, Titus." "Let me take her home." "She's been through it." "How'd you find out about the funeral?" "Instagram." "You had your phone?" "I called my roommate from a pay phone." "She came and got me, said she saw a post." "Kenneth, don't you think she needs to rest?" "She needs to rest." "Come on." "We need to go talk to Chip." "What happened to the plan?" "I came up with a new plan." "Without bothering to discuss it with me first?" "This is my life on the line, too, you idiot." "Don't call me an idiot." "Just stop talking." "I got enough on my plate, China doll." "Now I got to dodge your Dr. Dolittle bullshit?" ""AAAnd the turkey goes, 'Bkaw, bkaw, ' and the duck goes, 'Quack, quack'"?" "Did somebody drop you on your head when you were a baby?" "I created a distraction." "And that is the problem." "You had to run your mouth, talking some madeup bullshit, and somebody has got to now check this out." "My God." "You did this to yourself." "You more than just a little off, aren't you?" "I look like a hero." "No, you look like a dumb-ass who's gonna get us killed." "When they find out your story don't add up, they gonna come for you." "And then they gonna come for me." "And who's gonna take care of my brother when I'm gone?" "No one." "Since your little ass is a flight risk, you coming home with me." " Wait, what?" " Shut up." "Christ." "Jesus." "They had her tied to a toilet for two days?" "And they drugged this poor, little girl." "How 'bout that?" "I'm gonna tell you something..." "These the same people who killed my boy." "They are soulless animals." "Was your boy beefing with someone?" "Good Lord." "You got mayo on your face there, Chip." "Least I hope that's mayo." "Does the name "Titus" mean anything to you?" "Titus?" "Yeah." "Titus." ""Tit" with an "us" at the end." "Does it mean anything?" "Doesn't ring a bell." "Hey, I'll look into it." "Well, you do that, and then you bring me these lowlifes, you hear me, 'cause I'm gonna castrate 'em." "And then I'm gonna hang 'em up by their intestines." "Then I'm gonna eat their stillbeating heart, 'cause they gonna pay." "They gonna pay dearly for what they done." "AAnd they kept you on a toilet?" "Out in the swamp." "I used to get locked in the refrigerator." "You're not like other boys, are you?" "MMy IQ is 145." "D..." "II'm smart." "MMorning, Des." "Good morning." "I'm taking you with me to the salon today." "Wait, what?" "Those girls hate me." "Well, they can just get in line." "I need to talk to you about something." "Virginia, go wash yourself or something." "N..." "She can stay." "Um, Roller got killed." "Virginia almost got her legs eaten off by a giant pig." "These are perilous times." "I've decided my time has come for me to pursue a career in professional body building, using the... the lifestyle and career choices of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a kind of a North Star or guiding principle to become not only a better man," "but also a stronger American man who can protect those who can't protect themselves." "FFor the reasons II've stated here," "II would like to start working with a professional trainer as soon as possible." "First, I like your picture." "And second, you don't need to protect me, Dean." "I'm..." "I'm fine." "BBut somebody has to." "Since Roller died, yyou've been having nightmares." "And..." "And..." "And..." "And you're stressed out." "II saw the Funyun bags everywhere in your room." "It's all over." "You know what, Dean?" "You might be right." "Yeah." "Okay." "'Cause it's everywhere..." "I can't..." "It's so messy." "I made you a nutritious breakfast." "Of course you did." "Good morning, my little booboos." "Hi." "What time'd you get in?" "I didn't even hear you." "3:00." "Brienne, stop picking your nose." "Where were ya?" "I was, talking to the police with Uncle Daddy." "Till 3:00 a.m., though?" "Come on, Bryce." "Don't get sucked in." "I'm just trying to be there for him any way I can right now." "He was crying like a little girl by the end of the night." "Never seen him like this." "I know you just lost your brother, but, remember, you don't owe that man shit." "Okay." "Say what you're thinking right now." "Go ahead." "Girls." "If I hadn't gone to rehab," "Uncle Daddy would never have given the clinic to Roller." "Things might have turned out differently." "And we all would have lived happily ever after on a big rock candy mountain if it weren't for you." "Roller's death was not your fault." "I could have done something, Jenn." "This is not on you." "He was into drugs, guns." "You live by the sword, die by the sword." "Uncle Daddy wants to talk to me." "Okay, but if he brings up the clinic, you tell him that you're scared that what happened to Roller will happen to you." "'Cause you are scared of that, right?" "Hey." "Hon, how you doing?" "Been okay." "Well, hey, sugar angel." "I couldn't sleep a wink thinking about you." "Careful of my feet." "Of course." "Did you notice what color your poo was this morning?" "You nasty." "You got to check every morning to make sure it's not black." "That could be a sign of internal bleeding." "Pol!" "What?" "It is." "Hey, Des, something's wrong with this shelf back here." "You want to come check it out?" "Yes, I will." "I think I'll come back, too." "What?" "What is honey darlin' doing here?" "She didn't have any place else to go." "She narc'd me out and boned your man." "Somebody tried to kill this girl, and whoever did it is still out there." "So you brought her here?" "Desna, you're getting a little soft." "She doesn't have anybody." "Des, you don't always got to be everybody's mama bear." "I can be whatever I want to be, and I'm the boss, so I say she stays." "Got it?" "Do you guys do anal bleaching?" " Damn." " Do we?" "Yep, we can help you with that." "Hi, Desna." "Yeah, this is Mandy." "Hey, Mandy." "So, I begged and pleaded with Mrs. Kim, but she was adamant." "She doesn't want your kind running the salon." ""My kind"?" "She said..." "My..." "My kind." "WW..." "See, that is the problem with Koreans." "They all stereotype." "Yes, I know, and I'm so sorry that it didn't work out." "Look, I wish you every success, but I don't think that..." "Mwah!" "That you and I are a good fit." "Okay, but, Mandy, there has to be something we can do." "Sorry." "Hello?" "What happened?" "I'll be damned." "Mandy dropped me as a client." "Well, then, get somebody else." "Mandy was the best." "Buck up, girlfriend." "Things are gonna be just fine." "You and, Roller used to come out here a lot, right?" "Yeah." "Boy was a hell of a shot." "Just a hell of a shot." "Yeah, aalways wwas a little jealous that this was y'all's thing." "Well... we got to find our thing." "You know, I..." "I'm spending all my resources trying to find who... who done this thing, you know?" "I got some boys coming up from South Carolina, got Chip working day and night on this thing." "I ju..." "I need you." "I need you to... to help out with the clinic." "Bryce, you..." "You're a Husser, boy." "You're family." "I don't want what happened to Roller to happen to me." "Thank you, Uncle Daddy, but I just..." "This just isn't my plan for my life." "God damn it, Bryce!" "Do me a favor." "Help out at the clinic for a week while I find these bastards, okay?" "Just help me out for a week." "Hell, I'll even..." "I'll even pay you what I... what I... what I..." "what I paid Roller." "No, Uncle Daddy, you don't have to pay me, okay?" "It's 10k for the week." "The worst part was their breath." "It was so bad." "I..." "I could smell it through my hood." "I don't think I could ever eat peanut butter ever again." "I mean, maybe almond butter, but..." "Did they make you give 'em blowjays?" " Polly!" " Did they?" "No, but I would have for some food." "Speaking of, could somebody get me a Squirt with, extra lime?" "NNNNot diet, but, um, with chipped ice, please?" "Did they break your legs, too?" "I'll go." "I was fixin' to go out anyway." "Can you add a shrimp salad sandwich on a hamburger bun with slaw?" "I'm hungry." "In the mornings it was so cold." "I mean, I thought my feet were gonna fall off for real, you guys." "It was 95 degrees all week." "Mnhmnh." "Not in the shade." "Well, it can get chilly in the swamp, and stress can lower your body temperature." "But also talking about it can bring on PTSD, so why don't you hush so you can heal yourself?" "Come on." "Relax in my office." "Hey, there." "I'm looking for a young lady named Virginia Loc." "Well, the young part's accurate." "Can I help you?" "I'm Detective Chip Lauderdale, Palmetto P.D." "I'm investigating Roller Husser's murder." "I would love to ask you a few questions." "That's fine, Detective." "Come on, right in my office." "Just Virginia." "II, I don't..." "She's a little fragile right now, so I should probably be there." "I'll be gentle." "Saigon, Saigon." "So, when you got out of wherever those Titus guys had you, what road were you on?" "Well, eventually I got to the 301, but I wandered around a lot before that." "Where to, exactly?" "By Lake Manatee, then I followed the river forever and ever." "I kept thinking that I heard cars, but I could never find the road." "It was like a mirage or something." "You know when, like, you're so thirsty in the desert and you see an oasis?" "I know what a mirage is, honey." "So, you called your roommate from a pay phone." "Where was that?" "At the corner store on Old Tampa Road." "There's a Beef 'O' Brady's over there." "I love Beef 'O' Brady's." "My God!" "Me too!" "Rare meat makes me gag." "That goes away." "Hey, 'scuse me." "I just need to..." "Just got to get something out of this drawer..." "Damn it." "It's stuck." "Can it wait?" "No, I got to get change for $100 and my lockbox is in here." "I got enough for now anyway." "Glad to be of help." "Do you have detail diarrhea?" "You just told him 1,000 things that he can check out and find out that they're not true." "Beef 'O' Brady's?" "Come on!" "There is a Beef 'O' Brady's over there." "Let's go." "WWhere we going?" "Where you think?" "We got to get to that corner store before he does, Saigon." "Tell Mandy that I called." "I sure will, but she's really swamped getting ready for an event tonight for a handful of goldstar clients, female entrepreneurs, that kind of thing." "So we'll probably get back to you next week." "Tell Mandy I'll see her there." "What?" "Hey, Jeff." "Did, you work here yesterday?" " I work every day." " Good." "Then you probably remember seeing this young lady." "She came in, she was bleeding." "I had an orange dreamsicle." "I would remember that." "Especially 'cause we don't sell those." "There you go with the damn details." "Okay, would this jog your memory, though, particularly if a cop came in asking?" "Sure would not." "How you like me now, Jeff?" "Not much better." "What if we add a hummer?" " Who is "we"?" " I got this." "Watch the front counter." "Hurry up." "Cop could get here any minute." "Now am I a hero?" "Malala's got nothing on you, boo." "I hope you're not judging me." "I most certainly am not." "But is that how you gonna solve your problems all your life?" "Worked so far." "You should think about building some other skills." "Seriously." "You don't have to do that anymore." "Make sure you feel that strain in your booty." "Okay." "Ready?" "Get lower." "Lower." "Aah!" "Lit goes a lot better if y... if you tell me before you're gonna touch me." " My bad." " It's..." "It's from my childhood," " my problems." " Mine too." "DDo you know anything about weightlifting regulations aand methodologies?" "I know how to get prison cut using a slab of concrete." "OOWait." "You went to prison." "Did you kill somebody?" "What serendipity." "Who's your friend?" "II'm Dean." "Please don't touch me." "I have called you 27 times." "I sent you flowers for your tongue surgery." "I sent you a vaginal selfie every morning." "You don't even have the courtesy to give me a twoword text." ""Stop it" is two words." "So... you said you wanted to talk." "Talk." "I got a favor to ask you." "It's a big one." "Lord." "Like the time you asked me to take a picture of your hemorrhoids when we was in Cancún?" "First of all, how you dare you?" "No, how dare you?" "That itch and burn was so fierce!" "'Cause you ain't right!" "I tried to get my own phone back there to take a picture." "Well..." "Don't act like you don't like it." "No, I did not." "Look at this!" "That's a perfectly... good shrimp." "So, come on." "Shoot." "What's up?" "I want you to train Bryce to run the clinic." "In the words of my very dear friend, "No, ma'am, ma'am."" " Des." " No." " Please." " No." "I'm not training your husband on how to be Roller." "Well, Uncle Daddy's got him by the short hairs, and that clinic's gonna eat him up." "You know it." "I know it." "Well, let Uncle Daddy train him." " It's his damn clinic." " Uncle Daddy don't know shit except how to spend money." "I'm trying to get out of this mess, not further in." "Well, I'ma beg you." "Please don't." " Please." " No." " Ma'am." " No." "It's only temporary anyway until they find the guys who got Roller." "No." "I'm not gonna do it." "Who snuck you into New Edition concert?" "New Edition concert?" "Are you serious?" "Why do you always bring that up?" "Because that was the best night of your life, and I facilitated that." " Okay." " Yeah?" "It was the best night of my life." "Yes!" "Yes!" "You're the best!" "I would kiss you, but I know you don't like it!" "Please don't." "No, I don't." "Get off." "Get off." "Des, I feel like I'm gonna be able to sleep at night knowing you got your eyes on him." "I got it." "Hey, Clay." "Meet me at She She's." "It's urgent." "Here we go." "Well, looky there... woman of the year." "I spoke to Jenn, and you don't have to sell me on it." "I'm in." "That's what I'm talking about." "Thanks, Des." "Uncle Daddy," "I got to make something perfectly clear." "All right, now, this..." "this is just temporary, right?" "I'm out as soon as we achieve some closure on what happened to Roller." "Me too, Clay." "I agreed to help Roller for a time." "Out of respect for his memory," "I'll train your other son on how to work the clinic, but I didn't sign up for this life." "If that's what it's got to be, then..." "Yeah." "Hey, Chip." "What's the word?" "Well, we found the store that Saigon made that call from." "Looks like her story checks out." "And I got somebody looking into that Titus thing, too." "It worked." "The corner store?" "I told you." "Easy." "We're quite a team, aren't we?" "We'll see about that, Titus." "Dean!" "Dean!" "You don't want to finish training?" "YYYou weren't focused." "II wanted a real trainer who's gonna make me look like Arnold, but my sister hired you instead, just like when she didn't get me the house I wanted." "Now we're still living with mold." "You have no idea how much your sister does for you." "SShe makes promises." "Well, some promises take longer than others, Dean." "She's working on it!" "You are not gonna believe this..." "They have dropped their asking price $200,000!" "Yeah!" "They are so motivated to sell." "This is happening." "Mnhmnh!" "Well, this is a surprise." "Mandy, I'm sorry to interrupt your little fancy jimmyjam." "I just need one minute of your time." "You know, I thought my assistant was gonna set something up in a couple weeks." "I can't wait that long, and I know I messed things up with Mrs. Kim, and I'm sorry, but there has to be other salons out there." "You know, I have an acquaintance who specializes in properties that are a little more your speed, so why don't I give you her number?" "Wow, okay." "That's code for ghetto." "I don't want that." "I want the best..." "My." "God." "Look at your fabulous aquarium mani." " Thank you." " My goodness!" "Sarah, Kiki, Kelly, get over here." "Look at these nails." "Look at these." " Yes!" " Don't you just die?" "!" "These are all my bridesmaids for my wedding next month." " Yeah." " My God." "Nice to meet you, and congratulations." " Thank you." " They're so good." "You girls know what?" "This would make a perfect look for a bachelorette party." "Yes!" "Bridesmaids, take note!" "Um, where did you get these done?" "Actually, I did them myself." "I have a salon..." "Nail Artisans of Manatee County." "Where's that?" "Palmetto Plaza." "Is it safe over there?" "Is it safe over there?" "Yes, it's safe over there." "Now, I'm not gonna lie." "It is a little lowrent, but it's temporary until I get my new salon in Sarasota." "Well, I think we have a field trip, ladies!" "Can you see us tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.?" "Because you're friends of Mandy," "I'll see you at 4:00." "All:" "Yay!" "Roller always said the biggest challenge was finding wholesalers who were willing to ship us the quantity of pills." "The bulk of your job will be chasing down his old contacts, maintaining relationships with the reps." "And why was that so difficult?" "Because we move more Oxy than the clinic should." "The D.E.A. keeps an eye on that, so Roller had to piecemeal... and order a little bit from a whole lot of wholesalers. from the same companies?" "II need to take this." "Hey." "Most of them will only deal with Roller, so it's a process, okay?" "You're gonna be wooing and washing money." "I can wash." "I can woo." "Okay, let's just move this along." "I got some important clients coming." "What?" "Kenneth?" "Kenneth." "WWhat'd you do?" "My exwife Shelly's getting remarried." "And you're gonna have to deal with this craycray who loses his shit on the daily." "All right, come on." "Once you get to $30,000, that's when you're gonna want to wash the money." "And that's when I would call you?" "Right, or any of Uncle Daddy's other legitimate businesses..." "She She's, the vending machines..." "But you're close." "But I might not always be here." "As a matter of fact, I'm not gonna be here for the rest of the day." "Wait." "WhWhere you going?" "I'll be right down at the other end of the parking lot." "Ken will be here." "If there's an emergency, call me." "But don't have an emergency." "Where is she?" "Ladies, welcome." "Does anybody want a refreshment or..." "Well, I already gave 'em cucumber water that I made, and there's wine, right, Quiet Ann?" "No, let's just get the nails going." "We have a reservation in a couple hours." "Okay." "Well..." "Okay." "Um, how do you know what to put on someone's nails?" "Well, you know how people say that the eyes are the window to the soul?" "I don't think so." "For me, it's nails." "So, what you want your nails to say, bride?" ""Ice cold panic."" "Do you have that color?" "I can hook it up." "I remember my first wedding." "I was so nervous." "I mean, I was 14 years old." "My parents were in the Symbionese Liberation Army." "With Patty Hearst?" "Yes, ma'am." "We used to bunk together." "Yeah, she was..." "she was like a big sister." "But anyhoo, they made me marry the leader who was 57." "And you did it?" "But his other four wives were real nice." "We all ran away together after he got burned up in a fire." "And then what happened?" "Well, it's kind of a long story." "Okay, now who's ready for Chardonnay?" " Yes!" "Definitely!" " All of us." " Are you in?" " Kiki." " Mandy?" " Just a little bit." " Come on, Mandy!" " Mandy!" "All my girls, all my bridesmaids!" "Ann, hook everybody up." "Okay, kids!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "Okay, listen to me, Verla." "Now what we have to do is always stay true to our intentions." "That is the most powerful thing we have." "Can I see the doctor yet?" "Soon enough." "Dr. Ken, look what Bryce is doing." "Don't let him do that." "II need to take this." "You want to be the hammer, not the nail, okay?" "Head down, bull horns." "So, can you... can you hear me fine, and can you see me?" "Yes." "Who cares if Shelly gets married again?" "Honestly, do you..." "Do you think he's betterlooking than me?" "Nobody's betterlooking than my beautiful boy." "Stop looking at her posts." "I keep telling you..." "These are the perils of social media." "It's like some kind of negative masturbation." "'Cause every day is a new day to hit the reset button." "Dr. Ken said to stop doing that." "I'm just getting to know one of our regulars." "TThis is Verla." "She has a bulging disk in her lower back." "Hey, excus..." "Sir?" "Hey." "Sir, are you okay?" "Are you okay?" "Masturbation leads to procrastination." "Dr. Ken!" "Dr. Ken!" "Hey." "There's some guy having a seizure in there." "Come on, come on!" "Mom, I got to go." "I love you." "Are you meditating?" "Are you kidding me?" "Geez." "Grab his legs." "Get th..." "Grab his feet." "Deep breath." "There's a delivery." "Can you..." "In the back." "It's slippery." "Goddamn ponytail." "Sign for me right here." "And the code." "Right, right." "Sorry, sorry." "Bryce, can you get back here?" "I need your help over here." "Grab his feet." "It's gonna be all right." "Are you sure you're okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "You should probably get yourself to an E.R." "I will." "A little later today." "You saved that guy." "You know, all in a day's work." "Wow." "Who left the stockroom door open?" "I let the delivery guy in." "What?" "I mean, he was the first black country star I ever met, and one ride on that mechanical bull," "he swept me off my feet." "It's just a shame he loved armed robbery as much as he did music." "You know, he was the one that introduced me to Jamal." "I forgot about Jamal!" "Who's Jamal?" "He sounds delicious." "Delicious and nutritious, okay?" "He was the first guy to ever propose." "What happened?" "Well, his wife said our wedding wasn't a good idea, okay?" "Don't act like I'm the only one who ever dated a married man." " Come on, now." " Present." "Amen." "My God." "I was married for six years." "What?" "You..." "You never told us that." "What was she like?" "He." " Ann..." " What?" "He was a linguistics professor at Yale." "And then when he started screwing his T.A., who I also happened to be screwing..." "There it is." "Things went sideways." "You guys have, like, lived." "Shoot!" "You guys, we just lost our reservation at Luques." " Shoot!" " Shoot." "No one cares about the fancy dinner." "I want to party with you girls, okay?" "Where do you guys go to get wild?" "I know just the place." "But that tiara might be tipped by the time we get through." "Okay?" "Um, Desna, I've been wanting to ask you this question all night." "Can I touch your hair?" "No." "Whoo!" "Bachelorettes coming through!" "Shoo, shoo, shoo!" "Yeah!" "I'm talking about ladies!" "I have never seen Audrey so fired up." "I mean, she does get wild in Soul Cycle, but..." "She just made $5." "Okay, that right there, though?" "That surprises me." "Not me." "Quiet Ann looks exactly like her husband." "Okay." "Thank you for this." "You're welcome." "And, you know, Luques would have boring, and then half those women would have thrown it up in the bathroom anyway." "And these..." "Desna, these are incredible." "They are exactly what I'm thinking and feeling." "This is why I want to open my new place." "I want more women to experience that." "Then I want to franchise!" "What?" "!" "Girl!" "Yes!" "Okay, I will talk to Mrs. Kim and see if I can make anything happen." " Thank you." " Okay." "Now I'm gonna go try a little dancing." "Go get it!" "Go, Mandy!" "Go, Mandy!" "These bourgie types can throw down." "The last time I danced with Roller was up on that stage." "I know, baby." "Hello?" "Get your ass to the clinic." "Bring Goldilocks, too." "Shit." "We got to go." "Now." "I struggle to grasp... how something like this could happen." "This guy was having a seizure." "The delivery guy seemed so legit." "Desna, where were you?" "I had a full house at the salon, Clay." "Full house?" "Why don't you tell them what you found there, Juanda?" "We're looking at an $88,000 loss." " Man." " But this is particularly staggering af... after what happened." "Baby." "Go ahead and say it, baby." "What happened to our baby boy..." "What happened to our Roller." "Got murdered." "Meanwhile... that little tiny dancer of his looks like she got shit out a python." "Y'all know hhhow expensive this all gonna be?" "This here..." "This here clinic..." "It was supposed to be the best thing that ever happened to this family." "Y'all gonna have to work this off." "W..." "That's not fair!" "Well, life's not fair." "Mr. Husser, I wasn't even there." "You were on duty, Kenneth." "And Desna here..." "You're supposed to be giving my boy the lay of the land." "And Bryce..." "Bryce." "My boy Bryce..." "You're supposed to be running this goddamn clinic!" "This is disgraceful!" "God damn it!" "Disgraceful, all y'all." "I will have what I am owed." "Hey, what are you looking for?" "Look, I'm stuck, all right?" "$80,000 is stuck." "Only as stuck as you want to be," "Mr. Power of Intentional Choice." "I never should have asked Desna to train you." "I messed up again with Uncle Daddy when he was trying to help me again." "He knew this was temporary, he didn't like it," " now you're indentured for life." " Come on, honey." "TThat's a little reachyreachy, isn't it?" "I wouldn't put it past him." "What are you looking for?" "What is that?" "Honey!" "Sweetie?" "Babe." "No, no, no." "Don't you do it." "H..." "Babe, it's been two years." "Well, this is what this nonsense is doing to me." "Back to the corner, allemande left." "For the ladies, starting on the left." "When you meet your partner, turn to my right." "Back to the corner..." "Hey, party animal." "Thank you for an incredible night." "Honey, we lived." "Girl, I haven't lived like that since the '90s." "So, what's up?" "Desna, I'm in." "You got me." "I'm gonna find you the best salon in town." "Yeah, screw Glint Nails." "I believe in you and your vision." "All right, thanks, Mandy." "You got it." "I'll talk to you later." "What?" "What?" "I got Mandy back!" "Yes, girl!" "I knew you would!" "Where's Jenn?" "I don't know." "Her car's outside, though." "Well, she better get her butt in here..." "'Cause we doing big things." "That's right!" "New salon, new life." "Dosido your partner." "Back to your corner, allemande left." "And right, left grand." "When you reach your partner, swing her and promenade." "Hey!" "Come join the fun, neighbor." "Yeah, not really a black thing." "I'm sorry, Des." "I'm just trying to distract myself from becoming a widow." "Mnhmnh." "Don't say that." "Bryce has a good head on his shoulders." "Baby, Bryce is a drug addict just recovered." "He doesn't have so much as a criminal pinky bone in his whole body." "If the Dixie Mafia don't get him, then all those pills will, and it's gonna take us so long to pay back Uncle Daddy." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I wasn't there to keep an eye on him." "It's not your fault, babe." "You can't be everywhere." "I know you want out from under this mess just as much as I do." "God, I want that." "I want it so bad." "I want to get the salon." "I want to live the dream." "I..." "I want it for all of us." "Do you think we're gonna be stuck in Husserville forever?" "I know we won't." "That family is like quicksand." "The more you struggle, the more they just suck you in." "Come here." "Don't cry." "They're here." "Set it down." "Worked like a charm, didn't it?" "Yes, sir." "I knew it would." "That's for you." "Thank you, sir." "Get you going." "What took you so long?" "I missed you, baby girl." "I missed you, too, baby." "I missed you so much."
