[piano playing][soft chatter]

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy
Valentine's Day, Bob.

It was so nice of them
to give us free champagne.

Oh, there's nothing
free about it.

It's part of the package.

What do you mean?Well, it's all included:

champagne, dinner,
and you're out the door

for only three times
what it should be.

Isn't this restaurant
already very expensive?

Yeah.

But it's worth it to spend this
special day with my special gal.

That's lovely. Let's eat.

Where are the menus?

Ah, it's right there.
It's a prix fixe menu,

which is French for "you'll
eat what we give you."

So you pay
three times the price

and you cannot choose
what you eat?

Happy Valentine's Day.

Maybe we should leave
and come back tomorrow.

Why?

It will be cheaper then,
and we can choose what we eat.

But it's not Valentine's Day
tomorrow.

Who cares?

Me and all these other idiots.

This is a stupid
and wasteful holiday.

Let's never do this again.

We will not.

Rose for the lady?

Don't be ridiculous.

No, thank you.

So, I guess you
probably don't want

this overpriced piece
of jewelry I got you.

Ah. Well, jewelry
is different.

Is it, now?Yes.

It's very practical.

It's something that can be
passed down through generations.

Yeah, like silverware
or a genetic disease.

Bob, it's beautiful.

Hey, look,

I did something right.

You can never go wrong
with jewelry.

Well, I hope
you understand

that this bracelet

is an expression...

of my love.

Thank you.

My love for you.

Abishola,

I love you.

Yes, I understand.

And that's all you're
gonna say on the subject?

Bob.

Thank you for the bracelet.

[inhales deeply]

[exhales]

Thank you again
for dinner.

Yep.

And this bracelet
is very special.

Do you loveit?

Oh, I like it very much.

Oh, good, so it's not just me.

[sighs]

Well, good night.

Good night!

♪

The inclusions
are very minimal.

At least four karats.

He did very well.

I thought so.

UNCLE TUNDE:
I wish he had spoken
to me first.

I could have got it
for him cheaper.

He does not care
about the price.

Americans.

They believe the more
you pay for something,

the better it is.

And we know
the cheaper you get it,

the better you feel.

[chuckles]

Tunde is
a wonderful negotiator.

He has left
many jewelers in tears.

They are not real tears.

It's like a little show.

Even if Bob was cheated,

this a lovely gift.

I hope you thanked him.

Of course I did.Mm.

No, that is
not enough.

You have to jump up and down.

That's what
Americans do

when they win the his and her
Jet Skis on The Price Is Right.

It is also why you never see
Nigerians on that show.

We know all the prices,

but we are not
big jumpers.

He told me he loved me.

Well,

that's nice.

That is what I said,

but he seemed
unsatisfied.

I think he wanted you
to say it back to him.

People here are always throwing
that word around.

They love rock and roll,

they love New York,

they love Lucy.

It is because they are too free
with their feelings.Mm.

They are like puppies.

Racist, gun-loving puppies.

I told Tunde I loved him once.

Really?Yes.

When we first moved here.

I was trying
to be

more American.

It was very unpleasant.

I asked her
to never do it again.

And I have kept
that promise.

[chuckles softly]

[soft music playing]

DOUGLAS:
Hey.

Oh. Hello, brother.

You realize
it's Valentine's, right?

Shouldn't you be drunk,
crying and screaming

outside your ex-husband's
camper van?

I'm changing it
up this year.

I don't need a man
to have a romantic evening.

I can have one with myself.

Yikes.

I just had a nice dinner,

got some champagne,
chocolates.

Tonight,

I'm falling in love
with a girl named Me.

That's one of the creepiest
things I've ever heard.

It's called
self-partnering.

Call it what you want.

Just lock the door
when you're doing it.

I don't see you out
on a date.

That's because I refuse to be
manipulated by social pressure

and cynical
marketing campaigns.

You still banned
from Tinder?

Six more weeks.

Hey.

Hey.

At least one of us got shot
by Cupid's arrow.

Yeah.

Hit me right in the ass.

What happened?

Didn't Abishola love
the bracelet?

She doesn't love anything.

Might as well be dating a robot.

Oh, it's not
Abishola's fault.

It's her culture.

They're just

not effusive people.If you want,

Christina can teach you
how to self-partner.

Here, come sit down.

You've got all the love
you need right here

with your brother and sister.

Call me crazy, but I think
I deserve more than that.Mm.

You're not crazy.

You're just wrong.

Can the three of us be
any more pathetic?

We could wheel
Mom in here.

I asked.

She doesn't want to hang out.

Hey. Hey.
What's going on?

I am sorry, Mr. Wheeler.

I am trying to save his life.

No. He's messing
with my mojo.

He went out

and bought
a dangerous motorcycle

even after I forbade it.

It's not
a motorcycle.

It's a scooter.

150cc.

Very zippy.

You talking about that little
red thing in the parking lot?

Not red.
Rosso Passione.

Big difference.

Kofo, you are my cousin.

I promised your parents
I'd look out for you.

I even made space
for you in my home.

Above the garage.

If I have to live
like Fonzie,

I will drive like him.

You guys know Fonzie?

Aaayyh.Aaayyh.

He says
he looks after me,

but I sleep
on a futon

next to all his stored cans
of house paint.

I can't throw them away.

They are for touch-ups.

Try telling that
to a girl

you are attempting
to have intercourse with.

Hey, did you guys get
Laverne & Shirley,too?

You know...

♪ Schlemiel,
Schlimazel ♪

♪ Hasenpfeffer Incorporated.

We should get
back to work.

Yes.

Look at this.

The day after Valentine's Day,

and Chukwuemeka is still sending
me gifts at work.

It's so embarrassing.

You could have left it
in the locker room.

I could have.

But I didn't.

Here,

read the note he wrote me.

"Kemi, my love..."

"My heart is open to you
24 hours a day

"like most, but not all,

CVS Pharmacies."

"Check your local branch
for holiday hours."

He worships two things:

providing low-cost,
generic drug alternatives

and me.

How is it that a Nigerian man
engages in this...

lovey-dovey American rubbish?

What can I say?

My milkshake has brought the boy
to the yard.

And you like this?

I didn't at first.

But then he started
to shower me with gifts.

You know,
the other day,

he gave me a heating pad
anda humidifier,

just because.

So you go along with something
you're not comfortable with

just for the gifts?

Oh, I give him gifts, too.

I have done things
with Chukwuemeka

I have never done
with any other man.

Kemi,

you have to respect yourself.

I was talking
about going on a picnic.

Whatever you
were thinking of...

[quietly]:
I havedone with other men.

Oh.

Hey, guys.

Hello,
Mr. Wheeler's brother.

Hi.

I mean, I'm also
Mr. Wheeler,

but whatever.

So, what's up?

We have an HR issue.

Okay.

And you are head of HR.

Oh, yeah.

Company policy

requires me to take notes.

[chuckles]

[grunts]

Hang on a second.

I got it.
[grunts]

Wrapping.
[chuckles]

[grunts]

Oh, a pen would help.

[chuckles]

Mm-hmm.

Here we go.
Mightier than the sword.

So, what's the issue?

And I have to warn you,
if this is sexual in nature,

I am a giggler.

Okay, shoot,

This man has stolen
my Vespa helmet.

He is crazy.
Why would I want such a thing?

Because it represents freedom,

the open road, a general
devil-may-care attitude.

It represents stupidity.

Okay, let me stop you
right there.

This is a safe space,

so, going forward, no one is
stupid and no one is crazy.

Thank you.

Now, can you describe
the stolen item?

It is a shiny purple helmet
that I polished this morning.

[laughs]

I bet you did.

I did.

He admitted it.

All right, safe space.
That one is on me.

What will I tell your mother if
you get rear-ended by a truck?

[laughs]
"Rear-ended."

Sorry.

Fellas...

[grunts]
let me tell you

what I see from over here
in the HR chair.

This isn't actually
about a helmet.

Yes, it is.
For my Vespa.

Look a little deeper. What's
going on here is about control.

It is?Oh, yeah.

Bob tries to pull this kind
of crap with me all the time.

Thinks he knows
what's best for me.

But if I want to take
six months off

and follow a jam band
through Spain,

that should be my choice.

Do you feel this way?

About the jam band?

About me controlling
your life.

Yes.

Uh, too bad.

I will not have you
racing around

on a scooter
and go down on it.

[giggles]
"Go down on it."

I am so sorry.

Hello, Bob.

Hi.

Um...

May I speak with you
for a moment?

Sure. What's up?

I don't think I expressed to you

how much the other night
meant to me.

Okay.

What was that?

I was expressing my enthusiasm.

Abishola, that's not
what this is about.

I wanted to know how you felt

when I told you I loved you.

Okay, good talk.

This should help
with the pain, Mr. Holloway.

I'm scared.

Of course you are scared.

You are beginning a journey
into the unknown.

But at the end of it,
you will find peace.

In heaven?

Well, that depends
on your line of work.

Abishola.

Can I see you over here?

[monitor beeping steadily]

"Your line of work"?

Well, he's certainly
not going to heaven

if he was a slumlord
or a money lender.

How about, in the future,
you just say reassuring things

like "I know what
you're going through"?

But I do not know
what he's going through.

He's dying,
and I feel pretty good.

You're just saying it
to make him feel better, Elsa.

Elsa?

The ice queen from Frozen.

It's what all the other nurses
call you.

Well, she's the heroine
of the story.

Everybody likes her,
even the talking snowman.

That...
[sighs]

Never mind.

It's not your fault it doesn't
come naturally to you.

Uh, what is that
supposed to mean?

You told me yourself
how you were raised,

how your mother never showed you
affection or love.

My mother loved me very much.

You told me

she beat you.
Yes.

When I was bad.

And afterward,
she would bring me an aspirin.

If that is not love,
I do not know what is.

You do not know what is.

It does not matter
what I say to the patient.

What matters is that I give
them the best care possible.

Isn't that right, Mr. Holloway?

Mr. Holloway?

Ah, damn. Code blue!

Come back to us, Mr. Holloway.
I promise I'll be nicer to you.

DOTTIE:
You know,

I used to look forward
to eating in bed.

But after four months

of breakfast, lunch and dinner,
it just pisses me off.

Would you like to have lunch
in the chair?

Nah, I'm not wearing any pants.

Look, I-I just want
to give you a heads-up.

Uh, whatever happens
between me and Abishola,

it won't affect your care.

What are you talking about?Well,

she and I hit a little bit
of a rough patch

and I stood up for myself.

Oh, honey, don't do that.

I'm tired of not putting
my needs first.

I'm a grown man.
I don't ask for much.

A kind word, a gesture.

A kind word, a gesture?

Yeah.

Sit down, Sally.

This isn't about Abishola.
It's about your ex.

This has got nothing
to do with Lorraine.

Of course it does.
She hurt you very badly.

That just doesn't go away.

No, I-I moved on.
I did the work.

You ate your feelings.

That's work.

My point is,
you can't blame Abishola

for the affection you never
got from Lorraine.

Or from you.

All right, you can go now.

DOUGLAS:
That took balls,

Kofo, standing up
to Goodwin like that.

A big, swinging bag of them.

They're a lot smaller right now.

It's cold out there
on the Vespa. And scary.

In Nigeria,
there is no black ice.

I thought Nigeria
was full of black guys.

Black ice.

Got it.

I could never stand
up to Bob like that.

It's understandable. You have
been coddled your whole life.

Hey.
It's not your fault.

Oh. Okay.

You have never realized
your full potential

because you have not been
tempered by adversity.

You're right.

My life's been so easy,
it's actually really hard.

It's not too late,
Mr. Wheeler's brother.

You can challenge yourself,

become an independent man

who has earned his place
in the world.

Hmm.

No. I collect watches now,

and that's actually
really important to me.

Oh, hey.
I didn't see you come in.

What's this?

Eat.

Okay.

It's delicious.

It is jollof rice.

My mother taught me
how to make it.

I used to cook a pot of it
for my family

every Sunday growing up.

Listen, I didn't mean
to make you feel...

Eat.

You understand that I did not

enter into
this relationship casually.

This is not some

American fling where
you swipe on the selfies

to chill with the Netflix.

You know what I'm saying.

I do.

Actually, I don't.

I am committed to you...

...and that should be enough.

Thanks. It is.

Are you sure?

You tell me.

[laughs softly]

Just so we understand
each other,

if you die, you still have
to call your mother

and explain what a fool you are.

I appreciate your concern,
but I will be fine.

Please do your best
to avoid black ice.

Black ice.

I hear it now.

I'll see you back at the house?

Actually,

I will be home late.

I'm going to a trendy hot spot

where the women will be aroused
by my dangerous lifestyle.

Kofo.

Yes?

When you return, the paint cans
will be gone from your bedroom.

But the touch-ups.

Go. Live your life.

Have your intercourse.

If that should happen,
I will think of you.

[engine starts]

Black ice! Black ice!

Black ice!
[shouting]

Hey.
Afternoon.

E kassan. E kassan.

Excuse me.

Ah-ah.

When you said bracelet,
I did not realize

it was going to be
the bling-bling.

Damn. Elsa got herself some ice.

I should not have
worn it to work.

I forgot I had it on.

You did not forget.

I did not.

Now, does this mean
that you and the sock man

finally sealed the deal?

[laughs softly]
They have done next to nothing.

Enjoy your humidifier.
