Red Flagz (2022) Movie Script

(film roll rattling)
(smooth jazz beat plays)
I wanna build us a compound
Place for us to start our legacy, legacy
I need to know I have your loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Say you would never play me
Say you ain't just waitin' on
Something better to come along
Tell me I can trust you with my dark secrets
Tell me I ain't just another nigga
You can call when you need
When you want
When it's all bad and you just want to get away
Tell me all you need to say to get your way
Tell me you won't disappear
Quicker than a blink if I lost it all
Instead of crawl with me
Grab on another nigga's arm
Say you wouldn't, say you wouldn't ever
Say you better than the others of the past
Say you love me
Say you never stab me in my back
Right when I'm convinced that you the one
I've been waiting on my whole life
Finally get a love that's real
Tell me everything gonna be all right
Tell me it ain't what it's looking like
And my feelings wrong
Even though they strong
Tell me I'm just paranoid
And my mind playing tricks on me
'Cause you'd never switch on me, switch on me
It aint what you say
It's what you do
'Cause if you talk too much
That's how I know it ain't true
You gotta watch what you tell me
I gotta watch what they tell me
I already got the way baby

'Scuse me, 'scuse me y'all.
Tre, where the restroom at man?

(bell dings)
(bedsheets rustle)
(Stephanie whimpers)
- Tremaine!
Bae?
(whining) I'm horny.
(sighs)
(drawer rattles)
(vibrator buzzes)
(moaning loudly)
- Aye yo, T.
- [Tremaine] What's up?
- How did that meet the parent's dinner go the other night?
It ain't like you not to call me and give me the run down,

- I guess everything went good.
Besides all the mess that transpired.
- (laughing) Oh ho, this the tea right here baby.
I wanna hear the tea. (chuckles)
- Randy. - What?
- Shut the fuck up. And get back to work.
- (clicks tongue) Man.
- Y'all always playin' man. What happened for real for real?
- (scoffs) So Stephanie ass literally
wait's 'til the last second to tell me
basically,
her mama is gay and married to a woman.
- Ah hell nah.
- [Jarell] Red flag number one.
(Tremaine chuckles)
- That ain't it.
- It don't get no worse than that.
- [Randy] Right.
- That is not it.
Then, her tough ass brother come bargin' in outta no where.
Mind you, I ain't even know she had a brother
and I definitely ain't know his ass was comin' to my house.
- Mm mm, mm mm that's red flag number two, bro.
I been countin'.
- And then had the audacity
to invite his friend without even askin' me.
- Ah hell no. - Exactly.
- Did he know Kiba was comin'?
You think he was tryna be spiteful?
- Then, Trell bein' the asshole he is,
shows up at my doorstep without a date!
After I told him ten times bring a date.
- [Randy] That's what he do. That's Trell.
- (smacks lips) Dude listen, hold up man.
Hold up.
Only for Kiba to be there with her fiance
after Trell just tried to get on her at my crib bro.
- [Randy] That's bad news.
- No no no no. No. Wait for the finale.
(drum roll plays)
Trell fucked Kiba in my bathroom.
(door dings)
(bells jingle)
(washers whirring)
(coins jangle)
- Aye.
You Stephanie homeboy ain't you?
You remember me from the other day
when we was helpin' 'em move in the new crib?
- Yeah, I remember you.
If my memory serves me correctly,
you the one had all that messiness
goin' on tryna holla at my homegirl Kiba.
- Well speakin' of Kiba,
that's what I wanted to ask you.
Aye, can you call her and give her my number?
I need to holler at her.
- Uh, no? I'm not gettin' in that.
Kiba damn near married.
Besides, didn't you just see her
at Stephanie house for dinner?
So I heard.
You coulda just got it for yourself then.
- Oh you heard, huh?
Well, I actually did get what I wanted,
but fuck all that.
I need that number.
I gotta tell her somethin' important.
- Can't do it!
- Whatever. I'll get it myself.
- The fuck is wrong with this young man?
- And to top it all off,
I go to the bathroom the other morning to take a leak?
Man I look in the toilet,
there's a bloody ass tampon in there man!
- Man, hell nah.
- Man I almost threw. (gags)
- Yeah it sounds like you went

(bell dings)
(upbeat music plays)
(phone keyboard clacking)
(phone blips)
- [Woman 1] Girl, messy ass Minnie's

- I know.
- And I'm makin' my rounds in that bitch,
I couldn't find your ass,
but I did get this one nigga number

I been meaning to ask you.
So, why wasn't you at dinner at Stephanie's the other night?
- Kiba, why would you bring that up?
- I wanna know.
- Messy.
(Kiba snorts)
- I wasn't invited, remember?
- Oh yeah...
- Eat my ass from the back. Send!
- You know what,
it seems like ever since my nigga got killed last year,
it's been like a little distant between us.
Shit kinda weird to me.
- Or! She coulda found out about that little sneaky link.
(group laughs)
- Uh uh, shut up. That's it.
- [Woman 1] That is so fuckin' irritatin'-
- I don't think she know- - Shh shh shh shh.
- He's gonna text me- - What?
- that he's tryna have sex with his freaky ass.
- Girl, all them Joyroll niggas is freaks.
I grew up with him and Tremaine when we was younger.
Tremaine used to always try to suck on my titties.
He's definitely a boob man.
- Tremaine? (whispering) Tremaine, tremaine.
(in normal voice) Oh you talkin' 'bout
that chef nigga from the cities.
- [Woman 2] Yes. - [Woman 1] Mhm.
My homegirl used to kick it with him
on and off for a couple years?
But she told me that that nigga is a big ass liar
and she don't really fuck with him like that no more,
but I heard that mouth piece?
Something special, okay?
- Damn. - Mhm.
Freaky.
- Bow!
- Girl? Bye. (cackles) Yes.
- I'm 'bout to spread all on y'all asses.
- [Ms. Tinsley] Ooo, yes! - Okay?
- Hop up on this table and spread all that ass!
- Uh uh, Mama! - Don't do that.
Don't do that. - Oh my god.
- You grown. - (whines) No.
- You know what it is.
And don't be playin' with me,
ain't no tellin' what y'all done did up on this table.
- Yeah so, if you don't mind me asking.
How is the sex?
I know y'all been gettin' it in.
- I mean, (sighs) kinda,
but it's still one thing that's kinda bothering me and...
He hasn't gone down on me yet.
(Ms. Tinsley exclaiming)
- He hasn't gone down on you?
(Ms. Tinsley grunts)
- No.
And like the other day I left my phone at home,
so when I came back to get it,
I open the door and I hear moaning upstairs.
So of course I'm like.
Right?
Tell me why I catch him jacking off?
(Ms. Tinsley snickers)
See that's why I don't tell you shit.
- That's two red flags in one.
- Definitely.
- [Tremaine] Ms. T, Tavia, how y'all doin'?
(water rushing)
(water stops)
- Uh, where you been? You got off work hours ago.
- (laughs) What?
You serious?
C'mon baby, cut it out now.
I'm gettin' ready to go up here and take a shower.
Ms. T, Tavia, it was good to see y'all.
I'll holler at y'all.
- I must ain't taught you shit.
You know if that was your daddy I'd a beat his ass!
That nigga got cheatin' written all over him.
I smell it.
(sniffs) You smell that?
- I got this.
(door clicks)
Tremaine?
- What's up baby?
- Is everything okay with us?
- Yeah what's up? Why you say that?
- I mean we ain't have sex in a few days
and then I come in here and you jacking off,
and now you runnin' straight to the shower?
Like you barely even spoke to my mama.
- Baby. First of all,
(glasses click)
you trippin'.
'Cause we just got it in the other night.
And far as that shit you think you saw?
That wasn't even that.
And far as me comin' in and goin' straight to the shower?
That's because I just got off of work,
I went to get a haircut,
and I went to the bowlin' alley with the fellas.
So yeah, a shower sound about right to me.
I mean you do want me to scrub these balls, don't you?
(door clicks shut)
- You know what, fuck all that. Lemme smell your dick.
- (laughing) Baby, you trippin'.
You playin' right?
Stop it.
I mean ain't it that time of the month anyway?
- Do I look like I'm playin' with you? Drop 'em.
- Baby, you don't.
- Drop. Them.
Do you need help?
- I can't even believe you on no shit like this.
This so fuckin' stupid.
(pants thud)

(bell chimes)

(Kevin exclaiming)
- Sheesh! Boy, that was a game man.
- That was a dog ass game.
- [Kevin] I'm tryna tell you bro.
- And I still can't believe
you caught Miguel Cabrera home run ball.
Lemme see that thing real quick.
- Got that thing right here man. Ahh...
- Man that's gonna be worth some money.
- I appreciate you inviting me bro.
(Jarell smacks lips)
- C'mon now.
- I know you and Tre were supposed to go originally.
And you still coulda picked Randy or Rudy, but.
Damn man I appreciate you doing that.
- Man you my guy, you my day one man.
Yeah Randy had to work with Tre today,
so he couldn't make it anyway.
And y'know Rudy still got that black eye
from the bowling alley,
so he ain't coming out the house.
- Damn man.
Aye yo that shit blew my mind
to see Tre act like that, bro.
Especially swingin' on his day one 'bout a broad?
- [Jarell] Exactly.
- Bro.
- That shit was really kinda weak to me.
And to be honest with you,
I'm happy I wasn't there.
And what's crazy is, he was at the job the other day,
he was just talkin' down,
talkin' bad on her.
I was really sittin' there like,
man I ain't even tryna hear this shit.
- Shit? Aye, what he say?
- C'mon Kev, you know me well.
I'm not about to sit up in this car
and gossip 'bout my mans.
- All right, all right.
- But!
You my mans too, so I'mma let you know.
But you can't tell nobody.
- [Kevin] Heard you bro.
- Nobody!
- [Kevin] Heard you.
- So basically he was just sittin' there
goin' on and on about how she ain't tell him
that her mom's was a dyke.
'Bout her little brother Ronron actin',
actin' hard as hell but really soft as dog shit.
And about her homegirls.
All of 'em freak hoes.
Whole group.
Oh! And the main thing.
He was talkin' 'bout my nigga Trell.
How he smashed her homegirl in they bathroom
at they new crib.
- [Kevin] No shit.
- At the new crib. The one they just moved in.
- (quietly) Oh shit.
- Matter fact,
'bout to pull up on Trell right now,
get some of this weed.
'Bout to smoke.
And we gotta talk about this one.
- [Kevin] That's a bet.
- Lemme see that game ball again.

But let me ask you a serious question though.
When the fuck y'all niggas

- Fuck is you talkin' 'bout?
- I'm sayin'.
It's 2022.
Niggas ain't even hiding they gayness no more.
You know you still my nigga, G.
- (under his breath) That shit mid.
- [Trell] That's pressure.
- That shit all right, I guess.
- Pressure. (scoffs) How much I owe you for this?
- C'mon man, you know it's 65 for the eighth.
- The fuck wrong with you?
Movin' like you gotta piss or somethin' nigga.
You aight?

Well nah, step out the car real quick,

(dog barking)

- Yeah.
(car door thuds)
- What you want Trell?
- G, my dick burnin' like a motherfucker, bro.
Somethin' ain't right, man.
I think I need some penicillin or somethin'.
You don't know nobody who got nothin' for this shit?
- See that's what the fuck you get.
I told your dumb ass.
Do not stick your dick

But you don't wanna listen to me though.

You gone burn baby burn!
Dumb ass nigga.
- How the fuck you know that?
Man y'all niggas talk too much.

He got all type a stuff over there.

- So go ahead and take your hot ass over there
and get fixed nigga.

(engine turns off)
(door thuds)
(dog barking faintly)
(knocks on door in rhythmic pattern)
(door squeaks open)
- Cartrell, what're you doin' here?
- Ma, I need to see Earl.
- Well get your ass in here.
(door creaks shut)
Cartrell, you never said what you was doin' here.
- Ma, I was in the neighborhood,
I thought about somethin' Earl told me the other day
so I figured I'd come holler at him.
Is he here?

Is somethin' wrong? Are you okay?
- Uhh.

- For real? Why? It's 5:30.
- I know.
It's been really busy around here today and.
I'm just stressed and.
I don't know, I just can't get my shit together.
- Ah man.
Now you gotta tell your work boyfriend what's goin' on now?
- I mean.
Okay, it ain't really nothin', it's just.
Y'know, stuff at home and...
tryna settle in with my real man.
I don't know I just thought it would be beautiful and...
I'm having second thoughts already.
- See?
Work boyfriends are the best.
We don't trip on nothin'.
We just enjoy comin' to work and lovin' on y'all.
Mm.
And we don't gossip. (laughs)
- Well I can say that my man is...
I mean,
kinda quiet and laid back so he definitely
don't do no gossipin'.
- You sure 'bout that?
Like you bet your life on it?
- Where'd that come from?
No, like why would you ask me that?
- I'm just sayin'.
Ridin' around doin' specimen pickups all day,
dealin' with so many people.
You hear things.
- Kevin, what the fuck are you talking about?
- Listen baby.
If your man didn't do no gossipin',
then explain to me how I know
it's your time of the month right now?
And as many times as I come to you
to talk to you about my ma,
how come you never told me your mom was gay?
And I was so disappointed to hear that your homegirl
would fuck another dude in your bathroom
while her fiance was at the table waitin' on her.
- What?
(Kevin chuckles quietly)
Look Kevin,
I gotta get back to work.
Um, I don't know what this shit is that you heard.
Here's my number.
You need to call me later
and I need to know everything that you heard.
- [Kevin] Mhm.
- So I'm gonna go get this specimen for you so you can go.
(phone thuds)
(plastic rustling)
Your done, you can go.
- It's like that, huh? Specimen and all that?
- You can go.
Thank you.
- [Earl] Man, I can't believe

Man if you don't hurry up and get your ass outta here.
Man get your hot dick ass outta here before they close.
Pissin' razor blade ass dick.
Hurry up!

Wastin' my mothafuckin' time.
(Kevin mumbling)
- Go.
- All right, all right, all right.
Hold up.
Just let me get a hug before I go?
That cool?
- Stop.
(funky music)
- Aye. What the hell you doin' here?
- This is a doctor's office,
I'm a medical assistant.
This is my job.
- Tre said you was a nurse.
Not no goddamn medical assistant.
But aye, forget all that.
I need to see that doctor, 9-1-1.
I need some help bad.
- Mm, mm, mm.
Don't even sign in,

(playful music)
- Um, full name?
Full name?

- Date of birth?
- 11-16-89.
- So...
Mr. Davis.
When Tre invited you all to our house
for dinner the other night,
did anything happen that I should know about?
Breathe.
(Trell inhales deeply)
(exhales)
Okay, so you don't have to tell me anything
and HIPPA laws even prevent me from saying anything
about you being here,
but I'm gonna give you my homegirl's number
so you can tell her where you've been today.
And what's going on in this...
situation so she can get herself checked out.
And both of y'all better pray
that Kiba ain't been with Dante since y'all decided
to have dinner and dessert at my house.
- (under his breath) It's that nasty bitch.

'Cause the word around town is you been lookin' hoe
And no matter what I give you you always gotta talk slick
But if I ask you if you hungry

Here I am laid out dead in my own kitchen.
All over a woman I was supposed to be in love with.
Just two weeks ago.
I thought it was the beginnin'
of a beautiful lifetime together.
I woulda never thought that this could be the outcome.
It's crazy,
but bein' in love can blind you from all the red flags.
- [Stephanie] Please!
(bell chimes)
So many red flags
So many red flags
So many red flags
So many red flags
So many, so many, so many
Red flags
So many, so many, so many
Red flags

Shoulda left your ass where I met your ass
But I kept your ass (your ass)
Bitch I even helped you up your stash
I'm the reason why you even got a bag
With your bitch ass
I'm the one who showed you how to get cash
You done left me hangin' like a temp tag
I should smoke your ass like a zigzag
Got me stressin' like a red path
When I hit a hoe and turn big loud
Seen your boyfriend he was big mad
Tell his bitch ass I gotta big mag
And I love the beef like a Big Mac
Spin his block 'til I got whiplash
Better step back when I click clack
Bitch you make a nigga wanna get his ex back
So many red flags
So many red flags
So many red flags
So many red flags
So many, so many, so many
Red flags
So many, so many, so many
Red flags
So many red flags shoulda left your ass a long time ago
You a ham
Pussy nigga wasn't ever loyal but he say he real
Goddamn
What it take for a real bitch to get a real nigga
I need a man
Not a nigga who be online
Preppin', frontin', cappin' for the gram
And he got his own car
And he got his own house
Live with his baby mama
Aimin' at bitches for the drama
I got my own bag
Paid for that shit in all cash
New whip with the paper tags
Bet I'mma get the last laugh
So many red flags
So many red flags
So many red flags
So many red flags
So many, so many, so many
Red flags
So many red flags
So many red flags
Red flags
