- [J-Lo] I can't believe mom has to work tonight.

Okay, you can't let my boss see you.

- [Daughter] Okay.

- See you in.

Hi, sorry, I know I'm late.

Had to bring my little sister, don't tell.

It's gonna be okay.

- You should get back to work.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- All right, I'll check on you in a minute, okay?

- [J-Lo's colleague] Okay, all right.

- Yeah, no, I just got here.

I dunno about two o'clock.

I'm at the gay club.

I'll call you when I'm done.

All right.

Okay. Bye.

Every single time, every time we come to a club

it's always the same thing.

Gets on my nerves.

- Yeah, he's an idiot.

- So sick of him. - Me too.

- Wanna listen? - Yeah.
