00:06Hey, y'all niggas gonna report to me now.

00:21Zay made the call.
00:22I know you killed my son.
00:24No, no, no, no, no.
00:28So you're holding the grudge?
00:30Because I fucked your girl while you was in jail.
00:31You fucked my girl while I was doing a bid for you.
00:34So what you want to do?
00:35Make my life hell because you got caught and I didn't?
00:37You owe me, nigger.
00:39Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
00:43Amen.
00:44We often look to our leaders as if they're supposed to be perfect.
00:48Only God is perfect.
00:51Amen.

06:52That's why I'm here.
06:53Huh?
06:54What are your plans for the summer?
06:56Just being outside.
07:00Feets ain't no friend to people like you.
07:02What do you mean?
07:07It just seems like every time somebody starts to change their life or starts thinking about
07:12things differently, they wind up dead.
07:16I don't want to see that happen to you.
07:18You won't.
07:19Trust me.
07:23I want to watch you grow old, man.
07:26Come fast.
07:27Ain't nothing or nobody won't take me out.
07:30All right?
07:32It's not always someone else that does it.
07:37You all right?
07:41Just remind me of someone, that's all.
07:44Who?
07:48I got papers to grade.
07:50I'll see you at the game tonight.
07:53See you at the game tonight.
07:54I'll see you at the game tonight.
07:56Please unload and get that out of here as soon as possible.
08:02Could everybody make sure that the cheese is at room temperature and the dessert is nice
08:07and cool?
08:07Are you sure you're up for all this?
08:23Well, being sad and all alone in the house won't bring Rob back.
08:26And mothers who've lost children need to be celebrated, too.
08:30I agree.
08:32I don't want these women to be alone.
08:36Well, I have something for you.
08:38Oh, let me guess.
08:39You got me flowers.
08:41Not just any kind of flowers.
08:42These will never die.
08:50I appreciate you.
09:11And I love you.
09:13Sister Nikki, Happy Mother's Day.
09:36You look beautiful.
09:37I was just checking in.
09:41I just wanted to wish you a happy Mother's Day.
09:43Will y'all shut the fuck up?
09:45Man or God is at the door.
09:49Oh, my.
09:50If I would have known you were coming over, I would have put my face on.
09:53Oh, no.
09:54You don't need any makeup.
09:55God has done all the work.
09:58How you doing, Mrs. Sutton?
10:01It's Miss Smith now.
10:02Oh, did your husband transition?
10:04He transitioned to another house with another woman.
10:08And you could call me Leah.
10:10Okay, Leah.
10:11These kids are driving me crazy.
10:13Oh, no need to apologize.
10:14Is there anything I can do to help?
10:16Take these kids somewhere.
10:18Well, the church is building a free arcade for this very reason, so...
10:22Well, let me know when this happened to mine is.
10:24I'll make sure to send them right over.
10:26Okay.
10:26Yeah.
10:27We'll do that.
10:28Okay.
10:29Just, um, give me your number, and I will.
10:35How's your Mother's Day going?
10:37Pretty quiet.
10:38My kids are grown and my husband's retired, so not too much of a celebration over here.
10:42Oh, no.
10:42If I was your husband, I'd celebrate you every day.
10:45Do you want to be my new husband?
10:48Uh, I just wanted to wish you a happy Mother's Day.
10:51Oh, thank you.
10:53Yeah.
10:54My ex has the kids today.
10:57Oh, okay.
10:58Um, so you have the house to yourself?
10:59Yeah, I do.
11:01Uh, any-any prayer requests?
11:05Uh, just pray my husband don't get caught slipping again.
11:08Okay, well, if he does, you give me a call.
11:13I think I will.
11:14Okay.
11:17I'll see you.
11:17All right.
11:19Now, didn't I tell y'all to shut the fuck up?
11:21Are you in need of prayer?
11:24I'm always in need of prayer.
11:26You may I lay hands on you?
11:28Yes, you may.
11:29Okay.
11:30Okay.
11:38Nigga, what-what you need?
11:41Uh, yeah, I came to pray for Tracy.
11:45You come on in.
11:46I need a prayer, too.
11:49It's so nice to have you both here at the same time.
11:54Yeah, I-I didn't know you were involved with someone.
11:57Oh, no, no, no.
11:58We're just getting to know one another.
12:02Oh, well, I've been visiting mothers all day.
12:05I'm spreading love and praise.
12:07Oh, that's nice.
12:09Is that all you're spreading?
12:11Yeah, that's all.
12:13I do need prayer, especially today.
12:16Yeah, she lost her son a few years back.
12:20Oh, I'm so sorry.
12:22Yeah, I didn't know.
12:23I know.
12:26You say you came here to pray.
12:28Let's go, Pastor.
12:29Lord, we ask that you live, Tracy, not just today, but every day.
12:41She needs your strength, Father.
12:43Please be with her as she's flooded with the memories of the child you blessed her with.
12:48Give her comfort and peace as she's reminded of what she lost today.
12:52Please, Father, remind her of the happy times and the gifts you continue to bestow on her life.
12:59We ask that you cover her in this house, Lord.
13:06In Jesus' name, amen.
13:09Amen.
13:11Thanks for coming by, Tross.
13:12Anytime.
13:21Anytime.
13:30I'm getting tired of busting airwaves.
13:32You got next?
13:33You got next?
13:35You can't play.
13:36Who can't play?
13:37I taught your ass how to play.
13:38You didn't teach me shit.
13:39Bro, your ass, you gotta get better, bro.
13:41You didn't your ass want to play.
13:41That's it.
13:44You got to order food?
13:45No.
13:47Then who that?
13:49It's my surprise.
13:50Bro, I can't take no more surprises.
13:52You gonna like this.
13:54Shit, let's do it, bro.
13:57Hey, baby.
14:04Ma?
14:05Ma.
14:11What are you doing here?
14:12Nigga, show some respect.
14:13Shut up.
14:15Bridge wanted me to see him.
14:17He was always your favorite.
14:18That's not true.
14:19You ain't got to lie, mama.
14:20I love all of you the same.
14:23Then why you keep leaving her?
14:26Because she's sick.
14:28But I'm trying to get better every day.
14:31You clean now?
14:32Does it matter?
14:32It does, especially if she's going to be around Jake.
14:36You hungry?
14:38Yeah.
14:39I can make my famous mac and cheese.
14:41Put paprika on top if it don't make it famous.
14:44I want some.
14:45You know I want some.
14:46Whatever.
14:46Just let me know whatever you need.
14:48I'm going to go to the store and crack.
14:49I'm out.
14:49Bro, get off that.
14:52Let's just spend a day together.
14:54We ain't kids no more, bro.
14:55Vic, just stay.
14:57Fine.
15:04But I'm not trying to be here all day.
15:05It ain't nothing like a mother's love
15:09And that touch feels like grace from up above
15:12I feel it warmth every time we hug
15:14Like everything gonna be alright just because
15:16When trouble's on my mind I leave it all behind
15:18I can't even remember what it was
15:20Even though daddy was a bone stone and left you all alone
15:22You still made the house feel like home
15:24And it wasn't that it pains for you to have to raise a man
15:27Oh, sorry.
15:31What's wrong with you?
15:32Nothing.
15:33I'm good.
15:34Boy, you lying.
15:36Y'all know how to play spades?
15:38Why would you ask me a disrespectful-ass question like that?
15:42Of course we know how to play.
15:43Why?
15:44I got invited to a spades game.
15:46And you said yes?
15:48Yep.
15:49Even though you ain't know how to play?
15:51Yep.
15:52Wait.
15:53Hold on.
15:54You mean tell me I got a son walking around this world
15:56that don't know how to play spades?
15:58Yep.
15:59Why would you say yes?
16:00I just figured I could probably learn how to do it on the fly.
16:03Nah.
16:03Nah.
16:04I don't know.
16:05I can't have you out in these streets embarrassing me like this.
16:08Oh, shit.
16:09When is the game?
16:11Tonight.
16:12Oh, shit.
16:13What?
16:14Amy, we gotta move fast.
16:15What you need, Pop?
16:15Uh, give me one of them whiteboards and some markers.
16:18Oh, shit.
16:20Wait.
16:20What is happening?
16:21We are preserving the family name, boy.
16:23Yeah, this is an emergency.
16:25Shit.
16:27Hey.
16:28You entered this house a boy?
16:30You gonna leave a man?
16:31Pop, where you need the board?
16:32You want it right here?
16:33Yeah, they did.
16:35Let's sit up out there.
16:37Okay.
16:38All right.
16:38Oh, boy.
16:40Go on, sit out there.
16:40Okay, sit right here.
16:43Happy Mother's Day, Ma.
16:45I know you like roses, but the people ran through them
16:48while I know they had left was these damn sunflowers.
16:50Watch your language.
16:52But Pastor Zeke says damn sometimes.
16:54She thought of the day I heard him say shit.
16:56He's not your father.
16:58I know that.
17:04What's wrong with you?
17:07Nothing.
17:08You know I don't believe you.
17:10Your father handled most of the finances,
17:14and now I'm left to make sense of everything.
17:19Can I help?
17:20You're too young to worry about this.
17:23But I'm the man of the house now.
17:26You gotta lean on me.
17:30We have some debt,
17:31and lately the church
17:33has been more of a burden than a blessing.
17:37Well, I'm making real money now,
17:39and, and, oh, and Pastor Zeke...
17:40I don't want his money.
17:43He's not a bad man.
17:46I don't trust him.
17:49I do.
17:55The Lord will provide.
17:57He always does.
17:58Some people say there's no greater pain
18:06than that of burying a child.
18:10But those people haven't buried one.
18:13Yeah.
18:14Your heart never heals.
18:15It just learns to beat with a hole in it.
18:18Thank you for doing this, Alicia.
18:22We really needed it.
18:25I'm happy to bring us all together.
18:28But I refuse to have us gather
18:31and just sit here crying
18:32and feeling hopeless all the time.
18:34We have to do something.
18:37I've been trying to do something for years.
18:39Rock is a good start,
18:41but it's not enough.
18:42I don't want another mother
18:45to go through what we're going through right now.
18:46Yeah, we all want change.
18:48It's not enough to want change.
18:50We have to do something.
18:51Like what?
18:53We have to kill the killers.
18:55You'd be surprised
18:56how many killers you're surrounded by.
18:58It's the only way.
18:59Killers have mothers, too.
19:01Okay, so what do you suggest?
19:02That we just sit around doing nothing
19:04and allow this brunch to get so packed
19:06that there's not space enough
19:08to hold us all?
19:09Well, I don't want us
19:10to add to the death toll.
19:13We just have to take out the bad ones.
19:15And how can we tell the difference?
19:17By asking around.
19:18Alicia, grief can't be cured with revenge.
19:22And I know that firsthand.
19:26When my son died,
19:29there was no one to blame.
19:32What do you mean?
19:34My son, Christian,
19:37took his own life.
19:40I am so sorry.
19:42I blamed myself
19:44for years.
19:47So did my husband.
19:49The grief is something
19:50we live with every day.
19:51Now, space is easy.
20:10All you got to remember is...
20:12Don't overbid.
20:15Don't underbid.
20:16Don't renege.
20:17Hell no.
20:18Don't talk across the board.
20:21Talk to me.
20:21Oh, and for the love of God,
20:23don't ever, ever, ever, ever,
20:25ever, ever, ever, ever get sick.
20:29Don't worry, son.
20:30It all makes sense real soon.
20:32I mean, playing cards is in your DNA.
20:34I mean, cards ain't shit but numbers.
20:36And you're good with numbers.
20:37So you're good at cards.
20:39You're good.
20:39You just don't know it yet.
20:40Right.
20:40And spade is always trumped, bro.
20:42Remember that.
20:42The only thing that can beat a spade
20:44is a higher spade.
20:44Say the first card played in the hand
20:46is a club.
20:48And everybody play a club,
20:49and the highest club win.
20:50That's me.
20:51Simple.
20:52Right?
20:52Take that.
20:52Same go with hearts and diamonds.
20:55Now, if you don't have a card
20:57or the suit that was played first,
20:59then you can either play off,
21:00which means you play a card
21:01of a different suit,
21:02basically forfeiting your turn,
21:03or you can play a spade
21:06or win the book.
21:07Now, that's called cutting.
21:09Now, cutting is a very aggressive move
21:10and just happens to be my specialty.
21:13You know how I like it.
21:14Yeah, you can, you can.
21:16Now, people love spades
21:17because it's a team game.
21:18And the easiest way to play
21:20is four players.
21:21Two teams,
21:22first team to 500 win.
21:24To score, you have to bid.
21:26That's when you and your partner
21:26each guess to make
21:27how many books you'll get.
21:28You look at your cards
21:29and you say,
21:30okay, that's how many hands we'll win.
21:32You add that together,
21:33that's what you bid.
21:34So, if I look at my hand,
21:36I say I'm gonna get three books.
21:37You look in your hand,
21:38you say you're gonna get four books,
21:40then we're gonna bid what?
21:41Seven.
21:41Seven.
21:42There you go.
21:42Okay.
21:43If we get to seven,
21:45then we get 10 points per book.
21:47So, that's 70.
21:49Right?
21:49Now, if we get eight books,
21:50that means we underbid
21:51and we only get 71.
21:53That's why underbidding is bad.
21:54Yeah.
21:55We just left nine sweet points
21:57out there on the board.
21:58Now, if we get six,
22:00that means we got set.
22:01And when you get set,
22:02you lose points.
22:03But I don't want to get too deep
22:04into all that
22:05because no son of mine
22:06is ever gonna make a habit
22:07of getting set.
22:08And when it comes to getting set,
22:09what you got to remember is
22:1113.
22:12That's the magic number.
22:1413.
22:14That's how many books
22:15are at the start of every hand.
22:16Right.
22:16So, say you and me,
22:17we did eight books.
22:18The other team,
22:19they did seven books.
22:20And what that mean?
22:23That somebody fucked up.
22:25You're damn right, son.
22:26You're goddamn right.
22:26Somebody fucked up.
22:28But that ain't gonna be you, son.
22:30Because you got the Michael Jordan
22:31of Spades as your teacher.
22:33All you got to remember is
22:35that you can count
22:36and you can play cards.
22:52EJ, get over there.
22:55What did I tell you
22:55about all that running?
22:57Huh?
22:59Come in, EJ.
22:59It's okay, baby.
23:03We all make mistakes.
23:05EJ,
23:07go on to Live and Rome
23:09and play with your brothers.
23:14You didn't have to do all that.
23:16Don't tell me
23:16how to raise my son.
23:18I raised you.
23:19Yeah, and if I did what he did,
23:21you would've slapped
23:21the shit out of me.
23:24That was me then.
23:25This was me now.
23:27Why are you so much nicer
23:28to my kid
23:29than you want to me?
23:30So what?
23:31You want me to whoop him?
23:32No.
23:32Then what are you trying to say?
23:33I don't know.
23:34Look,
23:35I'm trying to be better.
23:39Since when?
23:40Since recently.
23:44You never talk about whoopings.
23:46Them hormones
23:46are whooping your ass right now.
23:55My mom needs some help.
23:56What kind of help?
23:59Financial.
24:02You know,
24:02I'm always happy to advise.
24:05Respectfully,
24:05Pastor Zeke.
24:06My mom don't want your advice.
24:11What do you need?
24:13A loan.
24:14You're going to pay it back?
24:22Yeah.
24:24You don't sound too sure.
24:25I just got to pick up
24:27some extra shifts
24:28at the church.
24:32Think of it
24:33as a gift.
24:35Nah,
24:36it's a loan.
24:38I'm going to pay you back.
24:39I see you.
24:42I just don't want
24:43to owe nobody nothing.
24:45You owe God.
24:48I pay my tithes.
24:50And that is why
24:51that money is coming back
24:52to you
24:53tenfold.
24:54Let me do it.
25:03Zeke,
25:03come on.
25:05Come on, man.
25:06Get in here,
25:07bro.
25:08Tell the gang.
25:09Tell the gang.
25:10Say cheese.
25:11Bro,
25:11we're really about to sit up here
25:12and act like everything's fine?
25:14Like she didn't fuck up
25:15our whole childhood?
25:16Ain't that what
25:17black families do?
25:17The past is the past,
25:22Trey.
25:22You can't keep blaming me
25:23for everything.
25:24You had kids
25:25with no intention
25:26of raising them.
25:27That's why you got
25:27three boys here
25:28pretending to be men.
25:29I ain't pretending shit.
25:30Boy,
25:31I know who the fuck I am.
25:32Look,
25:32I did the best I could.
25:34Mm-hmm.
25:35Ain't we all still standing?
25:37Right.
25:37Plus,
25:38you ain't perfect either.
25:39Bro,
25:39I had to raise myself
25:40and you
25:41because she was too sick
25:42to do it.
25:43It's no wonder
25:43I got a savior complex.
25:45A what?
25:46Nothing.
25:46She wasn't the perfect
25:47mom.
25:48Boy,
25:48it's time to get
25:49over that shit.
25:49Don't tell me
25:50how to grieve.
25:51What you grieving?
25:53The life I could have had!
25:57I didn't have
25:58a great mother either.
26:03I guess none of us
26:04has to be here.
26:07Yeah,
26:07here we are.
26:08Thanks for giving us life.
26:18Thanks for giving me a reason
26:23to keep on living.
26:24I got ladies liking the food.
26:42I need some more ribs.
26:43I know that's right.
26:44Yeah,

26:45Hurry up.
26:46Don't rush me,
26:47woman.

27:10Where you going?
27:11Oh,

27:12Oh,

27:14Well,
27:14we got other family
27:15we need to go see.
27:16Okay.
27:16I know.
27:18Look,
27:19I didn't want to tell you this
27:20on Mother's Day,
27:21but we moving to Pittsburgh.
27:25Wait,
27:26why?
27:27My mom just moved there.
27:28It's cheaper.
27:30You know,
27:30it just makes sense for us.
27:31So when you leaving?
27:32Next month.
27:34Damn,
27:34when was you going to tell me?
27:35Well,
27:35I wanted to make sure I was sure.
27:36Well,
27:37I need to see my son.
27:38He can spend the summers with you.
27:40So you can turn up?
27:41I mean,
27:42what's wrong with that?
27:42Come on,
27:43now,
27:43that's not fair to me.
27:44I'll have him most of the time
27:46like I do now.
27:47I don't care if you have him
27:47most of the time.
27:48He's still my son.
27:49What?
27:50Some bullshit.
27:51What about my rights as a father?
27:52What about me?
27:53Well,
27:53it ain't like you marry me
27:54or nothing.
27:55Is that what this is about?
27:57Please,
27:58just,
27:58I'm just saying,
28:00I got a life too
28:01and you don't get any say over it.
28:04You can't just take my son
28:05away from me.
28:06Yes,
28:06I can.
28:06It's really heavy in here.
28:24With all the losses we've had,
28:26what did you expect?
28:26You know,
28:29Emmett is hosting a Mother's Day thing
28:30in his spot.
28:31You know?
28:32Why would I want to go over there?
28:34We're having a perfectly lovely lunch
28:36right here.
28:38I don't know.
28:39I just think that maybe y'all
28:40could use some good energy.
28:42That's all.
28:42We don't want to be around
28:47a bunch of women
28:48who are being celebrated
28:49by their kids
28:50while we're missing hours.
28:52Look,
28:53I know your son is gone,
28:54but you're not.
28:59You can't just cry for him.
29:02You gotta live for him, too.
29:04Ladies,
29:19how about
29:20a change of scenery?
29:25Come on.
29:27I hope you know
29:28how rare this is.
29:30Shit,
29:30I would've given my left arm
29:32for someone to break
29:32this shit down
29:33for me like this.
29:35Here I am
29:35bending every rule in the book
29:37to teach you this precious game.
29:39To learn it
29:40is a rite of passage,
29:41and you learn it
29:42by watching,
29:44patiently,
29:45waiting your turn,
29:46usually for years.
29:49Then one day,
29:50often a holiday,
29:52somebody,
29:53probably an uncle,
29:54gets too drunk to play.
29:56And a relative,
29:57maybe an auntie
29:58or something like that,
29:59gets so desperate
30:00for a partner
30:01that you get your turn
30:02to the table.
30:03and you got one shot,
30:05and inevitably,
30:07you fuck it up.
30:09And you get cussed out
30:10within an inch
30:11of your natural life.
30:12And in that moment,
30:13you realize
30:14that space isn't just a game.
30:17It's a way of life.
30:19But when you and your partner
30:20are locked in,
30:21oh, son,
30:23it's like heaven on earth.
30:27That's deep.
30:29Yeah, about as deep
30:30as them quotes on Instagram.
30:33Well, thank you, Pops.
30:35It just means a lot to me.
30:36Boy, what you talking about?
30:37You ain't graduated yet.
30:39You gotta play a hand,
30:40see what you got.
30:41Come on.
30:42Rookie's deal.
30:43I'll deal the cards.
30:53Just gather them up.
30:58Shea moving to Pittsburgh
30:59and taking Devontae with him.
31:01Oh, shit.
31:03That's what I said.
31:05That's gonna be
31:05a big adjustment for him.
31:07That's what I said.
31:08Did you say that?
31:09You know,
31:12I was mad.
31:14Because of how
31:14it'll affect you?
31:16Yeah, she
31:17only gonna bring him
31:18back for the summer.
31:19That's convenient.
31:20Right.
31:21But we can always
31:22go visit him.
31:23Baby,
31:24I ain't got no say in this.
31:25How's that fair?
31:26It's not like
31:27y'all were married.
31:28Why does that keep coming up?
31:29Because if you did,
31:30you'd have legal rights.
31:32So how do you?
31:33I'm on your son's side.
31:35Me too.
31:37And support his mother.

41:19You ain't having my baby.
41:20Yeah, true.
41:22But don't be coming over here trying to break up no happy home.
41:25What?
41:26I ain't even like that no more.
41:27Mm-hmm.
41:28I swear to God, I'm just here to show my appreciation.
41:30That's it.
41:31That's nice.
41:33How you doing?
41:35Depends on the day.
41:38How are you?
41:40Today a little weird for me, but I lost my mom a while ago.
41:45Shit, I'm sorry.
41:46Was she sick?
41:47No, I'm not.
41:50My pav's killed.
41:53Fuck.
41:54Yeah.
42:05Y'all know this one?
42:07Come on, Jada.
42:09Come on, my bitch.
42:10Good shot.
42:11I'm about to head to my business bed.
42:13Make sure you handle me too.
42:15I still can't get this dance right.
42:31Baby, you gotta go ahead.
42:32I can't get it right.
42:33Come on, baby.
42:34Come on.
42:34I still can't get this dance right.
42:35Come on, baby.
42:36Come on.
42:37Yeah.
42:37I just want more.
42:40I still can't get the dance right.
42:46Come on.
42:46I still can't get the dance, baby.
42:48There you go.
42:48I still can't get the dance right.
42:50I still can't get the dance right.
42:52I still can't get the dance right.
42:54I'll just kick you out.
42:55I'll put on a little show to let you give it no.
42:58Then I should be screaming, I control the beat.
43:01Hope you're ready to stay out one time.
43:05Cause nothing's too much, right?
43:10Yeah?
43:11Oh, God always provides.
43:15Yeah.
43:17That's a gift from us.
43:20Uh, is this an advance?
43:23Oh, think of it as a down payment.
43:27When your dad's church.
43:30Come on, you know my dad's church ain't for sale.
43:35Everything has a price.
43:39Let's get in the photo.
44:05You know, fellas, let's just hop in with them, come on.
44:12Y'all look beautiful.
44:13Bring it in a little bit, bring it in a little bit.
44:16Bring it in a little bit.
44:18All right.
44:19On the count of three, Happy Mother's Day.
44:21One, two, three.
44:23Happy Mother's Day!
44:35Oh, boy.
44:38Let's go.
44:39Wait, what's the score?
44:40440 to 340.
44:41Y'all down by a smooth-ass hundred.
44:43Mm-hmm.
44:48Professor?
44:49Mm-hmm?
44:51I think we should go blind eight.
44:52I don't know.
44:55Look, if we go blind, we double our score, right?
44:57Yeah.
44:58That would win us the game.
45:00And, I mean, we lose anyway if they get six books,
45:03so we might as well play to win.
45:09You know what?
45:10You're right, son.
45:12Fuck it.
45:13Fuck it.
45:15Yeah.
45:16All that math sound good, but...
45:19I ain't gonna save y'all from this asshole.
45:25What you smiling about?
45:26Hey, fuck that tabletop.
45:28I'm just asking him a question.
45:31Damn.
45:32I ain't got shit.
45:33For real?
45:34Me neither.
45:35Yeah, I say we bed six anyway.
45:36No, no, no, no.
45:37Try to set him, live to fight another day.
45:39We at least get to five and get the extra on GP.
45:44Hey, dude, you right, man.
45:45I ain't bet.
45:48Nope, you're doing to me.

46:28I can't believe this shit.
46:30I am no mathematician, but I believe if we get this next book, we win the game.
46:35And I'm no spades expert, but I am good with numbers and if my math is correct, y'all
46:42are out of spades.
46:43So this three should walk.
46:46You gotta be fucking kidding me.
46:48Fuck.
46:49What did it do?
46:51What did you do to him?
46:53Why the fuck we lose two niggas with painted fingernails?
46:56You are a little unorthodox, but I like the way you play, sis.
46:59Hey, if you can count, you'll play cards.
47:01Whoo!
47:23How is your day?
47:45What's up with this Charles guy?
47:49He's just being kind.
