I dare you to ask her.
[DEVANTE] Do you be on OnlyFans?
[SCOFFS]
You are not cute enough
for me to tell you.
[LAUGHS]
Were you respectful?
No.
You need a ride?
I got some work for you.
What Reg got him doing?
Pushing pills.
Fuck.
Don't fuck around and
get yourself killed.
It hasn't happened yet.
You talk all big and
bad, but when I leave you,
you come back crying.
Ain't nobody crying over you.
Get out.
Have you ever dated a client before?
No.
The only reason why I said yes to you
is because you're not my client anymore.
[CHUCKLES] Thank God.
[LAUGHS]
I mean, you went back on
your word, so whoever paid you
is probably gonna come looking for you.
I'll be fine.
Look, just be careful, OK?
I know she risked her
life to get you out.
I got eyes on her house.
[EMMETT] I'm finally ready
to propose to Kiesha again.
[LAUGHS]
It's about time.
[LAUGHTER]
What do you think about
women proposing to men?
Ahh!

A woman proposing to a man is crazy.
No, it's not.

What are you keeping from me?
I made a deal with Toussaint.

[NARRATOR ON TV] Some
are changed forever.
A single lioness and her grown daughter
are the last of a pride
that once ruled here.
By the year 2000,
this paradise would have
been lost in the mist of time,
an afterthought left only
in the tales of the savannas
- where the big cats once ruled.
- Hey.
What you looking at?
- Nothing.
- [MOANING COMING FROM EARBUDS]
- [EMMETT] Give me that.
- Give me my phone!
It's my phone. I paid for it.
This is for adults.
When am I an adult?
When you turn 18.
Damn!
Take your time, man.
You got your whole
life to watch this shit.
[NARRATOR ON TV]
lions roamed into the area.
[SIGHS]
I just caught Devante watching porn.
I'm not surprised.
He's 12!
Kids can watch whatever
they want these days.
We can't monitor everything.
Well, I can take his phone.
For how long?
I don't know.
He ain't gonna let us
hold on to it forever.
Well, it's mine for now.
You had the sex talk with him yet?
I thought I still had time.
I guess you don't.
Yeah.
I'll talk to him, tell him the basics.
I hope you tell him more than just that.
What you mean?
You gotta talk to him about consent,
not having shame around what he desires.
You gotta teach him how
to take care of himself
and his partner post-sex.
And tell him sex isn't
just defined as intercourse.
Mm.
Damn.
Ain't nobody tell me all that.
Exactly.
Nobody told me either.
I had to learn the hard way.
My dad just told me to use condoms.
Clearly, you ain't listen.
I really don't want to talk to my son
about this kind of shit.
Then he'll end up just like you.

Oh, here we go.
It's a rule we have.
If he wants Mondo to
meet someone he's dating,
I have to meet her first

I mean, that's mature.

Kiesha said the same thing.

hurry up and propose to her.

Well, one size doesn't fit
all when it comes to parenting.

his phone for a while,
he might start to feel
isolated from the other boys.
Hmm. I don't want that.

Hey, I told you to clear your browser.

Why not?
'Cause you're still
committed to the streets.
I'm committed to you too.
You can't have both.
Why can't I just move back in

I don't know.
I don't like you
living here by yourself.
Papa lives here.
What the fuck you think Papa gonna do?
Don't talk about him like that.
Fine.
[SIGHS]
I also need a place to stay.
I'll think about it.
All right.
Just don't wait too long.
[EMMETT] What do you know about sex?
I know if a man sticks
his thing in a woman,
she'll have a baby six months later.
It's nine months.
OK.
You do know sex isn't
just about having babies?
What is it for?
It's about having a physical connection
with someone you love.
Do you have to love someone
before you have sex with them?
You don't have to, but
more often than not,
you should.
Why?
Because if you have sex
with someone you don't love,
things can get really confusing
if you don't talk about it first.
So I have to talk to somebody
before I have sex with them?
[EMMETT] Yes.
There should be a lot of
talk before you have sex.
They don't talk that
much in the videos I saw.
[SCOFFS]
Because that's not real.
In real life, you need
to get to know somebody
before you fucki
Uh uh
having sex,
'cause then you can have a kid
with someone you barely know.
And now you're stuck with that person
for the rest of your life.
Like how you got stuck with my mom?
I didn't get stuck.
I just don't want you to
make the same mistakes I did.
So I'm a mistake?
[TENSE MUSIC]
Of course not.
No.
♪
I love you, man.
All right.
You and your siblings are miracles.
But the reason I didn't
get along with your mother
or your brothers' mothers is because
we didn't talk enough about our emotions
and what we wanted before
things got physical.
How old were you when you first had sex?
I was too young.
How young?
I was 14.
Damn.
- That's old.
- Boy, that's young.
So when is it cool to
nut on a girl's face?
Oh, um
only if you have her consent.
What's consent?
It's another way of saying permission.
So I have to ask permission
before I do anything with a girl?
Yes.
You should always ask for permission,
even during sex.
That sounds awkward.
I don't care.
It's better to ask than to not know.
So if she says no, what do I do?
You stop and ask if she's OK.
And then keep going once she is?
Only if she feels comfortable.
And what if she doesn't?
You have to find something else to do.
But what if I'm hard?
You'll be all right.
You can always excuse
yourself if you need to.
Excuse myself to do what?
To practice some self-love.
What's self-love?
It's another way of saying
it's OK for you to masturbate.
Isn't it better to have
sex with another person?
Sure, but sex with someone
else and sex with yourself
are equally important.
Isn't that kind of lame
to have sex with yourself?
No, no. It's necessary.
It helps you last
longer with the ladies.
What you mean?
It means you won't finish as fast.
Isn't it good to hurry up and finish?
You want to make sure
your partner is having
a good time too.
Why do I have to worry about that?
Well, if your partner's
not having a good time,
then you're not doing your job.
How do I know what they like?
You have to ask and take
turns exploring each other.
How come you keep saying partner?
'Cause I don't want to
assume that you like girls.
I do.
OK.
And if you didn't, that's also OK.
I'm not gay.
OK.
I just don't want you to think sex is
always between men and women.
It's not?
No, there are lots of ways
for people to have sex.
Sometimes penetration
isn't even involved.
Damn.
There's a lot I didn't know about sex.
There's a lot I didn't
know at your age either.
And there's still a lot to learn.
So we gotta have this talk again?
We'll keep having this
talk as long as you need to.
Sex is complicated.
It's not a one and done.
So what if I have more questions?
[EMMETT] You can always come to me.
And there's no such
thing as a stupid question
or an embarrassing one.
And if you don't feel
comfortable coming to me,
you can go to your mom or Kiesha
or your granddad.
OK.
How are you feeling?
Enlightened.
That's a good word.
Kiesha taught me that word today.
Any more questions?
No. I'm good for now.
I'm always here if you need me.
When can I start mas
I mean, practicing self-love?
[LAUGHS]
We'll talk about that another day.

[VOCALIZING]

[LAUGHS]
So I hear you popping the question.
Y'all niggas can't hold water.
What, you don't want me to know?
I don't want Kiesha to find out.
[SHAAD] I'm good with keeping secrets.
So is your girl.
What you mean?
Patience has a son.
Oh, ain't nothing wrong
with a blended family.
Yeah, but he got to speak
to the kid's daddy first.
[EMMETT] I like that shit, though.
[LAUGHS]
Kids love you.
Yeah, you'll be all right.
I hope so.
Just make sure the daddy
have the sex talk with him,
so you don't have to.
Is it that time?
Yeah.
I had the talk with Devante earlier
about the birds and the bees.
Oof. How'd that go?
I'm feeling good about it.
- [SHAAD] Yeah?
- [EMMETT] Yeah.
I wish somebody would have
had the sex talk with me
when I was younger.
Maybe I wouldn't have spent so much time
trying to hide who I was.
I had to keep it real with him.
Yeah, I'm glad you did what I ain't do.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Cheers, y'all.
♪
I don't care that he's
on the phone all the time.
I was on the phone all the
time when I was his age.
Yeah, but it was different with us.
Did you have a rotary phone?
Girl, you're not that
much younger than me.
- The phones are different now.
- [EMMETT] Yeah.
I mean, they got the whole
world at their fingertips.
And they're doing a lot
of exploring right now.
We want to take Devante's
phone until he's 17.
Damn.
That may sound like a long time,
but it's really just a split second
when you think about their whole lives
- being ahead of them.
- [AMAYA] I know.
But what he gonna do without his phone?
- Go outside.
- Outside ain't safe neither.
We need to be connecting with them.
They need to be
connecting with each other.
We think if we all do it,
it'll make the decision a little easier.
I'm game.
Ain't nothing gonna be easy about this.
As long as we all stay committed
and lean on each other, we can do it.

So you trying to be my new stepdad?

I FaceTime my friends?
No.
