I don't know what the hell is going on.
This is a bad-ass idea.
Yeah.
I agree.
We need to go in there and let her know that we got concerns
about this competition.
RITTANY: It's so much animosity with the Purple Diamonds
and the Dancing Dolls 'cause we both carry a big fan base.
Jackson isn't that big, so half belongs to the Purple Diamonds,
and half belongs to the Dancing Dolls.
Any time we link up, it's always going to be a problem.
We could stand together and tell her we do not want
to battle the Purple Diamonds. - I see that.
We can do that.
RITTANY: When we think about the Purple Diamonds,
the first thing coming to our mind is drama.
You don't want nobody to call you on the phone
and say, well, your child is hurt.
That's the worst phone call you ever want to get.
And when you put the Dancing Dolls and the Purple Diamonds
in the same room, you can get those phone calls like that.
DIANNA: What y'all want?
We got questions, a lot of them.
What is it with the Purple Diamonds?
I thought we didn't have to deal with that anymore.
If you don't like it, don't let
them come to practice tomorrow.
Here we go-- same speech.
Oh, god.
And it's going to be the same tomorrow and the next day--
Why does it got to go down to that?
--and the next day and the next day.
Why does it got to go down to this?
Because y'all shouldn't be questioning whether
or not I know what I'm doing, the decisions
that I make for the team.
There is no way in hell I would ever
put the girls in harm's way. And as much--
You may feel like that, but you can't--
DIANNA: --I have an attitude or an issue with them--
--predict what's going to happen.
TINA: I'm very passionate about the fact
that I do not feel like the Purple Diamonds
competition needs to be done.
What I know from the last couple of years with this team,
[bleep] gonna happen.
So it is what it is.
I had a bad taste.
And sometimes when you have a bad taste, you know,
I don't care if the restaurant is under new management,
I don't like to eat there.
Yeah, I don't feel the same confidence you got about this.
I'm very nervous.
What do you know?
The mommas always got something to say.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.
I'm sick of that [bleep]!
Shut up!
I just want to take their lips and put a clothespin on them,
like Donald Duck.
[murmuring]
See, it works!
You don't hear [bleep], do you?
[murmurs]
Not a damn thing.
You know what?
Ugh!
- You know what? - What?
God.
I'm not fixing to deal with this.
You try battling by yourself.
I'm not fixing to deal with this.
I'm not backing down about this Purple Diamond stuff.
It's not going to be good.
She knows it.
I know it.
So it doesn't matter.
Long as it's for the record, we should
not be competing this weekend.
This is what's going to happen.
They're going to go to the competition.
They're going to battle.
I'm not going to be bullied.
I'm not going to be punked.
Tina's demanding answers.
She wants to know why the girls have to battle PD.
Mm, because I said so.
If you don't like the decisions that I'm making for the team,
holla.
Bye-bye.
You're not going to raise your voice at me
and I'm not going to raise mine.
Back buck up, get bucked back on.
That's what it's going to be. - But we ain't bucking it out.
We ain't bucking it out!
DIANNA: It doesn't matter!
But you do teach our kids!
And we do have an opinion!
It don't matter!
And I'm going to address my opinion--
It does not matter!
--regardless of how you feel about that [bleep]!!
Get mad or not--
DIANNA: It's my team. - --I'mma tell you how I feel!
DIANNA: It's my team.
RITTANY: When you took on this responsibility--
If you don't like it--
--dealing with somebody else's children, you had to get used
to hearing their momma's mouth!
I don't need to listen to y'all!
[interposing voices]
I ain't got to listen to y'all!
Maybe you need another job!
RITTANY: Baby, you're in the wrong profession.
You shouldn't work with nobody's kids
if you don't want to hear what people have to say.
Because when you sign on to deal with another person,
especially a minor, there ain't nothing but questions.
You need to check yourself.
Bye, goodnight.
Leaving ain't solving nothing.
DIANNA: Bye. It's solving it.
I got to go.
Leaving ain't fixing nothing.
I got to go.
Don't walk away Miss D!
DIANNA: I really am.
I'm putting your ass out my [bleep]..
RITTANY: Even though the argument didn't solve anything
or we didn't get anywhere with Dianna,
I'm glad that she sees that this year is going to be
a different competition season.
We're not going to let her get away with all the normal--
we're not going to sit back and take it.
We're not going to go home and wipe our girls' eyes
and tell them, well, maybe this is why Dianna did this.
We're going stand up, and we're going to address you.
Same script, same Dianna here.
