Who knows who George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower is?

Oh, silence, silence now.

Everybody lookin' at each other.

Okay.

Jaleel, what's up?

-: He was an African American music composer

born in Poland 1778.

-: Ooh, okay.

-: No, because there's no black people born in Poland.

-: Wasn't no black people born in Poland.

(laughing) Actually, you're wrong.

You're wrong, Rashid.

Jaleel, you're right.

George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower

was in fact, a composer, and he was born in Poland,

and he was a black man.

-: He a nerd, man, that's all that is.

(class laughing)

Watch me turn it more constructively.

Thanks for the help.

You dig what I'm saying right...

This is for the bonus.

This is serious, okay?

Did you know that Beethoven was a black man?

Ah!

(classical music)

-: What proof do you have of that?

-: Uh, that would be Wikipedia circa 2015.

I look up everything on the internet just like y'all do.

(gentle music)

-: Hey, baby.

-: Hey, you makin' me late.

No, no, uh uh, uh uh, you are goin' to the club with me tonight.

-: Baby, I'm really, really beat.

-: You are goin' to the club with me tonight,

'cause you need to support your man.

-: How was class?

-: Oh class, class was awesome, but you're not

gonna change the subject.

You goin' to the club tonight. Let go.

-: Baby, I wanna go, I truly do.

I really, really do,

but I been in the air, on my feet for four straight days.

My big toe is killin' me.

-: Okay, I tell you what.

I'm gonna massage the big toe

and the whole entire foot later tonight, but right now,

I will give you a piggyback to the club, okay?

That's a deal.

-: Okay, okay, I'll go.

But let me take a quick shower first.

-: Quick.

Quick.

-: Ugh.

I'm so mad at you right now.

-: You're bein' dramatic. Come on, let's go.

-: Only if you do me a favor.

Will you lotion my lower back after my shower?

-: Stop it.

I know this is a trap.

-: No, it's no trap.

-: There's no trap? Another button, please.

Oh.

-: I'm much more relaxed.

You should listen to me more often

-: I think I should.

From the first time I laid eyes on you

I knew you were the one the way it felt so true

My heart and my hand don't know

-: You know, I have a surprise for you tonight.

-: A surprise?

-: Um hmm.

-: Really?

-: At the club.

Your brother was in on it and everything.

-: You got Dylan in on it?

-: Yeah.

-: Don't let Dylan lead you astray now.

So where's my surprise?

-: You know I've proposed to you 10 times over the last 12 years?

-: Oh, boy.

-: No, no, oh boy, no oh boy, no oh boy.

My family thinks that I'm crazy, especially my mother.

But I love you.

You don't think you deserve to be more than a girlfriend, baby?

-: I don't mind bein' just your girlfriend.

You're my best friend, and that means more to me than some

ring or title that neither one of us is ready to live up to.

-: It's 12 years, I'm ready.

I've been ready.

I just want to give you more.

You deserve more.

Let me give you more.

-: Okay.

-: Okay?

-: Okay.

-: Look, Nina, you can say yes, you can say no,

but I can't do this no more.

Will you marry me?

Round two?

I can't control the way you feel

Gotta let you know this love is real

(upbeat jazz music)

-: Check out the love birds!

Ha ha ha, ain't this about a something,

my big sis and my new brother-in-law.

Man, I'm really excited for you guys.

Now, sis, you know you're in good hands here, right?

-: You think?

-: Yeah, I do, and if I didn't, I would have bin nipped this a long time ago.

Seriously, I'm really happy for you guys.

She's a great dude for you.

All right, I gotta break out though.

I love you.

-: Hey, take care of my sister, man.

-: I got you, clean, boy.

He's a good guy.

-: No regrets.

-: No regrets.

(upbeat music)

-: Oh, see yeah, that diamond is all that, yay!

Ooh, see that is why I love me some Roman.

Oh, I think I have a tear.

Oh, Tammy,

Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, my sweet pathetic friend.

Anyway, there is no such thing as a perfect marriage,

but you can strive for perfection and honesty and everything...

-: Okay, okay, stop, stop with all the peace and harmony.

Girl, look, where you about to go, I've already been, okay?

Some advice, you wanna get married,

go on and jump the broom with your bad ass.

Go on, jump, jump, do it.

You can do it, but make sure you got some

escape routes, that's right,

'cause when he messes up, and he will mess up, bam, take the route.

-: Bitter, bitter and mo' bitter.

-: She's always bitter, okay?

But listen, Nina, you are the last one of us

to do this, okay, and we are examples of what to do

and what not to do.

-: Uh huh, okay, whatever.

You must've accepted his proposal 'cause you bored, huh?

-: I don't know.

-: You don't know?

What do you mean you don't know?

-: To be honest, I don't know.

The thought of marriage actually depresses me.

-: Oh, honey, depressing is not even the word, okay?

I was married to my knucklehead husband faithful and forever,

and he walks away from my family 'cause he wants to experience life.

Well, Negro, this is your life.

How about that?

But you know what?

I'll take a 38 and put it to his head

and pull the trigger end your life, no joke.

Shit.

Nina, listen to me, honey, okay?

Marriage is an abomination.

Don't do it!

Abort. Run as fast as you can.

Moonwalk, hop the fence, skip to the loo,

call Uber, whatever you got to do.

Don't do it.

Marriage drains every ounce of your soul

and your body, but you know, I love Roman.

I do. I think he's a good guy.

And if you're gonna do it, then just make it a open marriage.

-: What?

No, I'm not sharing Roman.

I'd be devastated if he wanted me to share him with someone else.

-: Okay, Nina Thomas, correct me if I'm wrong, dear,

but (throat clearing) isn't Roman your first, your last and your only?

-: Yeah, and I'm proud of that.

-: Okay, Houston, we got a major problem.

You mean to tell me you about to marry the only

penis you've ever had?

Y'all don't see nothing wrong with this?

I see somethin' very wrong with this.

You gotta get out there and ho at least one time.

Air that shit out!

-: Ah no, you make it sound like ho'ing is something normal.

-: It is somethin' normal. Ask Rebecca?

-: What!

Don't try me.

-: Hey, before you were married.

Anyway, I'm sayin', it's the same for men and women.

-: Rebecca? It's as easy as ordering a latte.

Girl, dip with some random guy and take it to your grave.

-: Yeah, don't do it, no.

-: Okay, y'all, she at least gotta even the scales.

I mean, come on.

-: Even the scale?

Roman is the, I've, I'm the, Roman.

Even what scale?

-: Hello.

- You finished packin'? - Nope.

-: Nope.

Nope?

-: Can you stop? I'm trying to pack.

-: I'm makin' Roman's favorite eggplant tonight.

Don't you got a appetite for Roman's favorite eggplant?

-: I'm tryin' to tell you I don't have an appetite for Roman.

-: What's wrong, hmm?

What's wrong, tell me what's wrong.

I see you got a little attitude.

What?

What did I do?

- What you.

Why you keep buyin' this stuff?

You know I don't like oatmeal.

- Okay, it's good for you, and I love it, so.

Baby, you ain't gotta eat it.

- I don't like it, just like I don't like that you slept with Tabitha Johnson.

You know, the ho that slept with the entire football team?

-: Who told you that, though?

You know, baby, everybody was sleepin' with her.

-: Yeah, everybody like the basketball team, the soccer team...

-: And the football team. I played football all four years.

- : Oh, really? - : Run through.

- Oh, you gonna keep on goin'? - I was a running back.

-: You gonna keep going? You know that cast iron skillet?

It is on the stove in the kitchen.

-: You gonna put some eggplant in it, though, right?

-: You need to wipe that smirk off your face.

-: So you're serious?

1,000 years ago, something from college, you're bringing that back?

Come on, what's goin' on?

You got a little cold feet?

-: Why can't things stay the way they are?

-: Where you goin'?

-: Don't follow me.

-: I'm followin' you.

What?

-: I thought I was your only one.

You were my first.

-: Baby, I'm not about no foolishness.

I'm the man who put that ring on your finger. Look at your finger.

That's me.

(slow piano music)

-: Can I get you anything, sweetie?

-: How about you, sexy?

She's hot.

(dangerous music)

-: Thank you.

Thank you.

-: Enjoy your stay.

-: Thank you, guys.

Nina: Enjoy your stay.

Yeah, uh

Friday nights look pretty, pretty

Beverly Hills extra stay since

I love life and I'm living

It's goin' down and I'm gettin' it

It's my time and I'm winnin'

With the underdog at the track dog

-: Oh, come on.

You gotta be kidding me.

- Oh, my God! - Of course I want to hear about your dolls.

- : Oh my God, um. - : Give me a second, Em.

- 42.

841.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

-: Still here, baby.

-: Hi, boo boo, I miss you!

-: Who is this?

-: Nina?

-: Dude, do I sound like a Nina?

-: Yo, who is this?

-: Who is this?

You're calling my house!

-: No, no, who is this?

I'm calling my fiancee. This is her phone. Who is this?

-: Fiancee?

My dude, are you just playin' dumb or workin' off being stupid?

Who gets married in 2016?

Just rent the chicks and get the lovin' for free.

You're a lame, so stop callin' me, lame.

-: Hey, hey, who?

-: Lame ass dude.

Jesus Christ, I told her extra ham!

-: You gotta be kiddin' me.

(phone ringing)

-: Where's my phone?

(phone ringing)

-: What?

-: I'm gonna track you down, and I'm gonna find you,

and when I do, I'm gonna beat the living crap outta you!

-: Pretty waitress in the air, hold on a sec.

(phone button beeps)

This is the waitress from the plane.

I knew she dug me.

I want extra, extra, extra, extra ham.

(phone button beeps)

I'm back.

-: Okay, since you like to steal,

I am going to slowly take your left hand

and cut each and every one of your fingers off!

-: That's a pretty violent act.

I admit to taking your dull cell phone to see if you had any interesting nudies.

Zilch!

Your phone is boring, and this conversation is over.

It's over!

(gentle music)

-: Culver City Mall, please.

-: Uh, I'm sorry, ma'am, you must be in the wrong car.

- : Uh, Culver City Mall... - : What's up, D?

-: Oh no, I beat him to it. It's mine now, so leave.

I got a lotta stuff to do. Leave.

-: You gotta use the app. Uber don't work like that.

Oh, okay, chivalry is dead, gone, never existed.

Where you tryin' to go?

(hip hop music)

-: Quincy.

-: My father taught me never to talk to strangers.

-: But you can gangsta rides from one? (laughing)

-: Nina, and stop smiling so much.

-: Nina.

Well, it's obvious who you were named after.

-: "You'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen

"'cause when she's by his side

"such a change from old routine."

Nina Simone.

Buh ha, the other woman

-: What you know about that?

-: Ow.

- : Are you? - : Yeah, no.

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. Man, what are you?

-: Really, a flat tire?

A huge flat tire?

My day can't get any worse.

-: Are you just pretending to be this uptight?

-: I'm not an angry black woman.

-: No, I said uptight.

-: Before yesterday, I was a really, really nice person.

You shoulda met me then.

-: My loss.

-: Nina?

-: Hey.

-: Are you okay?

-: Oh, well, it was nice meeting you.

-: Are you gonna be okay?

-: Yeah, yeah, go on, take that ride.

He's gonna be a while.

-: All righty then, captain.

Thank you.

-: Well, thank you, for the company.

(gentle music)

-: Did you at least get the number?

-: I didn't ask her for her number, man.

-: Come on, Q. It's been 14 months, man.

It's time to get back out there, man.

-: Maybe you're right.

-: I know I'm right, and she was fine, wasn't she?

(laughing)

- : Yeah, man. - : Yes, she was.

-: Yes, man, she was fine.

-: Yes, she was.

Stop smiling. - : What?

-: 'Cause you coulda helped me, man.

Yeah, it just got real.

-: Uh huh, I got ya.

My bad.

- Thanks for your help, brother.

(light music)

Is that her wallet?

-: I'll find out.

Yes, it is.

- That's her.

(gentle music)

(phone ringing)

Automated Voice: The person you have dialed can't take your call now.

At the tone, please record your message.

When you have finished recording, simply hang up

or press the pound key for further options.

(hip hop music)

You hold it down girl, you already know

Don't mess around, no time for games

Yeah you know it

You don't care what haters say, girl, you know

-: You ladies finding everything okay?

-: Yes, thank you.

-: Let me know if you need anything. -: Thank you.

Hey, I like this.

Wait a minute.

- Bam. - That's cute.

That's totally you. You have to get that.

I love it.

You ready to buy?

-: Oh, oh my God.

- What? - Oh my God!

- : What? - : Oh my God,

I left my wallet inside the cab.

-: Oh God.

-: What if that guy has it?

-: That's a problem.

That's a Roman problem. (laughing)

-: It's not funny.

Why are you laughing?

I can't find my phone, I misplace my wallet,

and you're laughing.

Oh, the worst.

Ain't no wrong baby girl dream

You hold it down, girl, you already know.

Don't mess around, no time for games

Yeah, you know it.

Yeah, you know it

You don't care what haters say, girl, you know

Girl, you know

You just focused on your grind

Yeah, you know

You better go girl

-: See, Nina, you should always listen to me,

because my great-great-grandmother was a prophetess,

and every now and then, I got the gift too.

And honey, you should sleep with him and take it to your grave.

Wait. Hold on, hold on, mm, yes.

The spirit is tellin' me Roman will never know.

-: Don't you let that girl ruin your soul

and have your sparkling cookie lookin' like rrp!

-: Her cookie's already like rrp.

-: What are you talkin' about?

No, it's not. No, it's not, Nina.

Her great-great-grandmother wasn't even some prophetess, okay.

She was a slave.

And so you need to stop it.

At the end of the day, you do not have any

signs of any kind, but you do be having those hormonic tendencies though.

Nina, keep your legs closed, and do not give away your cookie.

-: Girl, we're just talkin' about sex.

-: No, no, it's not just sex.

- Oh my God. - Okay, Nina, um hmm, hold on.

We gotta focus.

Look at me.

You must pay attention to the signs.

You finding out that you're not the only woman Roman's been with, sign.

You get to LA and run into a hot guy, and there's a connection, sign.

Your cell phone is stolen, sign, sign, sign.

Roman can't get in touch with you. Hello, sign!

Okay, bam, I'm on a roll.

Hot guy gets in the car with you, sign!

Okay, look, I don't know what you bitches see,

but I can see the signs clearly.

So Nina, the question becomes,

are you gonna sit up here and wait for miracles and floods

and the locusts to fly out your ass or

are you going to pay attention to the signs and honey, get you some ass.

Sleep with that man.

- Don't do it!

-: No.

I can't.

-: Shit.

- Thank you, your husband is causing you to lose your moral mind.

-: Um hmm, and I'm all right with that.

It's about damn time, 'cause you know what,

I've been a good girl for far too long.

Now, I'm about to be a bad bitch.

-: If you listen to our beloved friend,

you're gonna end up like our beloved friend,

lonely, miserable, headed for divorce.

You know, misery loves company, girl.

-: People aren't meant to be pure.

-: We weren't meant to be hos either, girl,

but you are killing the game. (chuckling)

Your husband is gone, really, you need to stop.

-: Uh, no, I hate his guts,

and I hope an entire block of skyscrapers falls and kills him to death.

-: Wow, damn.

-: So Nina, go, honey.

Go and get you some ass.

-: Don't do it!

(gentle music)

(hand knocking)

(upbeat music)

-: Hey, your wallet.

- I promise I'm not looking at your muscles.

Um, something tells me that I'm not touching

my wallet, so can you please place my wallet

in the palm of my hand?

- On one condition.

Come downstairs with me, have a glass of wine.

-: Let me freshen up.

-: See you in a few minutes.

'Cause we grown

No one can take away whatever it is that we own

Forbidden fruit you are

I can't believe my eyes

You're gonna steal

-: Is everything on the menu GMO free?

- Yes, it is.

I'll be right back with your appetizer, okay?

-: Groovy.

So what is your relationship with Los Angeles?

-: Uh, my daughter and wife.

We used to live in San Diego, but my wife

decided to move back to LA to be closer to her mother.

I decided to stay in San Diego, and I try to get up here as often as I can.

-: Oh, so a long-distance marriage?

-: Oh no, no, we're divorced.

-: Well, how long were you married?

- 15 years.

-15 years.

That's a lotta years that you guys put in.

This looks delicious.

-: So I'm guessing you're engaged.

-: Well, what's so funny?

-: Oh, what does your fiancee do for a living?

-: He's a music teacher, and he's in a band.

-: Nice.

Nice, you must be very proud.

-: I'm very proud, very much so,

and I love him very much, I might add.

What?

- Okay, check it out.

If he were to call you right now,

would you answer the phone or ignore it?

-: My phone got stolen.

-: Answer the question.

-: What was the question?

-: If he were to call right now, while we're having dinner.

-: Brunch.

-: All right, while we're having brunch,

would you answer the call or ignore it?

(gentle music)

-: Ignore it.

-: Why?

-: Because I wouldn't want to lie to him.

(phone ringing)

-: Saved by the bell.

Hello.

What?

Sophia, just tell her to come down from the tree.

Okay, yeah, okay, I'm on my way.

Um hmm, okay.

- Everything okay?

-: My daughter climbed up into her treehouse

and refuses to take her medication until I get there.

-: Uh, okay, well, no worries.

I can just get a ride back to the hotel.

-: No, no, come with me.

-: Come with you?

What?

-: Yeah, I insist.

-: You insist?

You want me to go with you to your ex-wife's house?

Are you fucking crazy?

-: Maybe a little bit.

Please, come.

-: Are you sure?

-: Yeah, it'll be quick, I promise, in and out.

-: I don't know.

-: You can wait in the car.

I'd really like to spend some more time with you.

-: Really?

-: Really.

- Uh..

Okay, well, how much I owe you for dinner?

-: No, no, no, brunch is on me.

I'm feeling chivalrous.

10, 15 minutes tops.

Daddy's here.

-: Oh, good.

Em!

-: What happened to your face?

-: Huh?

-: What's that?

-: Ow.

Don't ask.

You changed your hair. It looks good.

-: Oh, thanks.

-: All right, Em, Daddy's coming.

-: Be careful.

-: Sophia, if our seven year old can climb this tree, I should be just fine.

-: Okay, okay, I'm just concerned, because...

-: You don't need to be...

Can you give me a little space, please?

Daddy Q is coming, Em.

-: Hi, Daddy.

-: Hi, baby.

-: I'm glad you're here.

-: Oh, okay.

But then I need you to come downstairs and take your medication, young lady, okay?

-: Drink your tea, Daddy.

-: Okay.

-: Daddy! Tea is meant to be sipped.

I need to make you another cup, and take your time and sip it.

-: Okay, but then you're gonna come downstairs and take your medication, okay?

- : Okay. - : Okay.

-: Daddy?

Thank you for coming a little early.

I really wanted to see you.

-: Hey, peanut, anything for you.

How you feeling?

-: I feel amazing.

Also, we're gonna take a cup for mommy.

-: Okay, all right.

Sipping, sipping.

I'll take Mommy's cup.

-: Let's go.

I'm now ready to take my medication.

-: And um,

some instructions on how you get out of your treehouse.

I'll bring the cups, right?

- : Yeah. - : Okay.

-: Mommy, Daddy has something for you.

-: Special delivery, here you go.

-: You see, Daddy, you see how Mommy sips the tea?

You have to sip.

So since we're all here, and it's a few hours before dinner,

well, maybe Daddy can stay?

I'd like to hear your thoughts, Mommy.

-: Oh, no.

Baby, I can't.

-: Daddy, you taught me never to use the word can't.

You have to pick me up in a few hours anyway.

Instead, we could all have dinner together.

-: See that right there, that's your half of the child.

-: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she is.

Um, look, sweetie.

Daddy has a friend waiting for him outside, so.

-: Invite them. Grandma's also coming over. It will be fun.

-: Baby, I really can't.

-: There's that word can't again.

Mom, what do you say?

-: Sure, yeah, invite your friend.

Your friend can come back for dinner.

As a matter of fact, you and your friend can take Emily to the park and then

I can prepare dinner, and just be back at five.

-: Sophia.

-: Oh, it's a female.

I mean, that's cool, you know.

Yeah, just be back at five.

Get her jacket.

- Somebody wants to go to the park. - Yes!

-: All right.

Let's get your jacket.

(hip hop music)

- Seat belt.

-: Now, who's this sweet little person?

-: Emily, pleased to meet you.

-: Well, pleased to meet you, Emily.

Now, that's a sweet name.

-: Thank you, and your name is Nina?

That's also a pretty name.

-: Thank you.

Sweet child.

-: That side of me is from my mom, but most times,

my dad is also pretty awesome.

Oh, by the way, Nina, you're going to have dinner with us.

I think my dad is kind of afraid to tell you.

-: Dinner?

-: So what's up, Q? Where to?

-: Right down on the right, two blocks.

(electric guitar music)

-: Yeah, I like that.

- : You feel it? - : Yeah, I like that.

-: Then I go like this, I go.

This ain't like her, bro.

It ain't, bro.

No, it ain't like her.

I usually call her two, three times a day. She always...

-: Yo, this is dope.

I like this.

-: You hear me, man?

Do you hear me?

-: Just check this out, man.

Stop assuming things, okay?

Maybe she just misplaced her phone.

Look, don't go brewin' up some crazy scenario

in your head like there's some other dude in the picture.

-: No, I'm not sayin' that, but what I am sayin'

is like some kid picked up the phone,

and now her phone goin' directly to voicemail.

-: So what?

-: Look, I just wanna know if she okay, man.

And then she was actin' all weird when she left, I'm..

-: Dude, just chill, all right.

Chill out.

-: You're sayin' that 'cause that's you sister, bro.

-: No, I'm saying chill because that's what you need to do, man, chill.

-: I thought that women liked, you know,

weddings, all that, you know?

Like, why is she afraid to get married?

I'm startin' to feel like the chick.

-: Did you call her hotel room?

-: Like a billion times!

-: Yeah, that's chick-like. (laughing)

-: Yo, stop playin' with me.

You think that's funny?

You laughin'?

-: Yeah, I'm laughing, man.

Look, let me give her a call before you

have a panic attack. - : Yeah, call her, call her,

call her. - : All right, and in

the meantime -: You're right, your're right.

-: get to playin', man, come on.

-: No, you right, you call, I'll play.

Go ahead.

-: The person you have dialed -: Is she pickin' up?

-: can't take your call now -: Is she pickin' up?

-: Voicemail.

-: See!

Yo, I'm flyin' out there.

- : Flyin' out... - : I'm gonna fly out there.

-: Whatever, man.

-: You ain't worried about your sister? -: You trippin'.

-: Anything could be happenin' to your sister.

-: Play, come on, play.

-: There's terrorists out here.

She a flight attendant, man.

(gentle guitar music)

Slow down!

-: How did I end up at dinner with your ex-wife?

Are you nuts?

-: I promise, it wasn't my idea.

-: Look, I don't want to complicate things.

I can come up with an excuse.

I'm feeling whooping cough.

(laughing)

The measles?

Mumps?

-: Chicken pox? You know they're contagious.

-: Oh yeah, she's too smart.

That little girl is not from this world. I see.

What's she taking medication for?

-: Um, we agree never again to speak, diabetes on her,

'cause our little girl is kickin' its ass big time, and she is winning.

So we started feeding her more fruits and vegetables,

more beans, like navy and lentil.

When you know better, you can do better.

By the way, I was really impressed you're so GMO conscious.

-: Hey, man, I'm just tryin' to eat to live.

What are you,

what are you tryin' to do?

-: Just thinkin'.

Your man, he's a lucky guy.

-: Really?

So then why am I sitting here eating ice cream with you?

-: Enjoying the moment.

(gentle music)

-: Taking it to my grave.

- : Hmm? - : Hmm?

-: You said something?

-: No.

I see you're hiding there

I can see through every lie that you try

I can look at you and tell through your eyes

That you're hiding

And you're fighting my love

Quit hiding your love

(bass music)

-: Is that an engagement ring

that you just tucked under the table?

-: Mama.

-: I'm just askin' a question.

And I'm not starting anything that they

didn't start when they came through my door

and sit down for dinner.

Now, is that an engagement ring?

-: Yes, ma'am.

-: Well, Quincy, that's awesome news.

The ink isn't even dry yet.

-: Hmm?

No, wait, wait a minute.

The two of us, Ms. Carey, are not engaged.

-: No, no, no, no, my fiance is in Chicago.

Quincy and I just met today.

-: Well, I guess I can sense a one-night stand

comin' on in one, two, maybe three, four hours?

-: Why are you startin' stuff?

-: I am not starting stuff,

and Sophie, you are quite understanding.

If this was happening to me,

there would be Al Green grits, Chris Brown's teeth prints

and OJ Simpson's butcher knife all over this house.

-: Stop it.

-: Baby, I can't.

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is absolutely weak.

Pass me those string beans.

Grandma definitely know how to finish it.

I'm gonna finish it, ain't I, baby?

(laughing)

Let me try to be nice.

Baby, what did you say your name was?

-: Nina.

-: Nina, as in Nina Simone?

-: Yes, ma'am.

-: Oh, well, sweetpea, your parents named you after the wrong person.

They should've named you after one of them Kardashians.

-: Mama!

-: Even Paris Hilton would've fit.

-: Wow, uh, excuse her.

-: Excuse me?

Did you just say excuse me?

-: No.

-: You know somethin', Sophie, you need to stop

bein' such a softie and try to teach yourself

the art of the smack, because a pimp smack

would be perfect right about now!

Listen, baby, I know you are a Christian,

but when the word says Jesus

turned water into wine, what he really did, what it meant,

was he took the palm of his hand.

He turned it into a dangerous machine,

and he started whackin', whackin', whackin' people.

-: Smack, smack, smack, smack.

-: That's right, baby.

- : Smack, smack, smack. - : Please, Ms. Carey, please

don't be a bad example.

-: Bad example, you callin' me a bad example?

Oh, well, I guess you must be the pope,

and your girlfriend here must be Mother Teresa,

sittin' up in here havin' dinner with your ex-wife and your daughter.

Ugh, I feel so happy that I am invited to the last supper!

I just don't know what to do.

I guess Virgin Mary over here, that's Sophie.

Emily, you Luke. (laughing)

One, two, three, four, five,

yeah, we missin' about seven disciples.

I must be Jesus because I can smell some straight-up

unholiness goin' on around here!

-: You are making this so uncomfortable.

-: So, baby, am I makin' you uncomfortable?

-: Oh no, everything's fine.

Everything's okay.

-: Well, damn, I'm not doin' my job.

I'm sorry, baby, grandma cussin'.

-: Hey, um, our ride is here,

and I just wanted to peek in and say thank you for dinner.

Quincy's upstairs with Emily, so um,

I'm gonna go sit in the car.

-: Nina!

So you're engaged.

You know, it's been 14 months since our long, stressful divorce.

It's not really a place I've enjoyed being in.

-: I understand.

-: But, you know, if I were gonna say anything to you, it is

to beware of the blame game.

It's a nasty game.

You know, something goes wrong, and then you

place the blame on others, and that gives you some

false sense of security like you're guilt-free.

It's really silly, stupid arguments that,

looking back now, I know could have been prevented.

But, you know, I think Quincy,

I think he also understands that we both were just determined

to save only ourselves, you know, by sacrificing the other.

That's what killed our 15-year marriage.

-: I'm sorry to hear that.

-: Well, how long have you been engaged?

-: 12 years.

-: 12 years?

Well, marriage is never for the weak.

-: Hey, our ride's here.

-: Hey, um, I'm gonna mosey on out of here and give you two some space.

Take care.

(gentle piano music)

-: I like her.

She's nice.

-: We okay?

-: Yeah, I'm fine.

You know, Emily can stay here tonight,

and you can just pick her up in the morning.

That works.

Quincy.

You okay?

-: You know,

I just don't know sometimes.

Thank you.

I'll see you in the morning.

-: Okay.

Ever since that day

That you came my way

-: What was that for?

(throat clearing)

-: Where to Q?

-: Back to the hotel.

-: Sophie, baby, what is wrong with you?

-: What, what do you mean?

-: At some point, you are gonna have to learn that you just need to pipe down!

Now, listen, I have been observing you two.

The way you look at each other.

The fire is not out, even Emily can see it.

Your marriage is far from dead,

and if you want to save it, all you need

is a little gratitude, appreciation and an apology

and know when to just shut up, listen and watch.

Now, baby, when your father passed, I was done.

I was just so upset with him that he

had left me in this world all alone.

-: Mama, you're not alone.

-: I know that!

I'm just trying to tell you that Quincy loves you,

and I want you to have somebody that you really love,

like I loved your father.

That young girl he brought here,

she don't mean nothin' to him,

and she damn sure don't want him.

They're like two kids just spinnin' around until they are dizzy.

They will snap out of it.

-: Okay, well, the divorce is final, mama, what do you expect me to do?

-: Child, those papers don't mean nothin'!

They sure don't define real love.

Listen, you think love died, but real love, it never dies, baby, it's eternal.

Now, I know you are emotionally drained,

but listen, sweetie, you have a lotta strength

in reserve, because you are my daughter.

You're divine, and baby, that gives you a tremendous amount of power.

See, just when you think that you cannot fight

one more fight, when you cannot confront one more difficulty,

real love, oh real love is powerful.

It will give you the energy to take on one more challenge.

Your marriage, your family, they're worth one more try.

All you have to do is just listen

to what Quincy is not saying.

Oh, daughter, I love you. Come here.

That's your husband.

What you wanna do now

Don't be shy now

You'd have made it to the room

What you wanna do now

-: Nina?

Long day?

Look, I know it's none of my business,

but I do consider you my friend.

And that engagement ring on your finger

is a promise you made to yourself to Roman

to get married, and you're entitled to change your opinion.

That's your right, but at least tell Roman

that's what you want.

I mean, this dude, he's a fantasy.

But what you and Roman have, that's real.

-: Okay, you're right.

I'll tell Roman exactly how I feel

and what I want when I get back home.

And dude is fine as hell.

And I also consider you a friend as well, so thank you.

-: You're welcome.

Just be smart.

Once you go there, you can't go back.

-: Tammy said take it to my grave.

-: Girl.

(giggling)

- I'll see ya. - Okay.

(sexy music)

We're alone up in this place

Staring face to face

No experience sayin' the words

-: I'm so scared right now.

But I've never heard it said

That I can feel you without even touching you

-: Can I kiss you?

-: Yes.

Without a single word from you

And I know you want to take it there

-: Do you want me to kiss you?

-: I do.

We both know what we wanna do

But we shouldn't do, it's gettin' real

We gotta get up outta bed

We're both sittin' in this room

You're lookin' at me, and I'm lookin' at you

We both know what we wanna do

-: Do you want me to take your clothes off?

-: Oh, do it slowly so that I can think.

We're both sitting in this room

You're lookin' at me, and I'm lookin' at you

We both know what we wanna do

But we shouldn't do, it's gettin' real

We gotta get up outta bed

Oh we both sitting in this room

You're lookin' at me, and I'm lookin' at you

(phone ringing)

We both know what we wanna do

But we shouldn't do

-: The phone.

-: Yeah, I got this, I got this. Here ya go.

Stop it, cell phone.

That's Sophia.

Hello.

(dramatic music)

What?

She,

okay, I'll be there in 15, 10.

(Quincy sighs) - : Is everything okay?

-: Emily's blood sugar went up.

They're taking her to the hospital.

- Come with me. - What?

-: Please.

-: Okay, okay.

-: Thank you.

Here.

- : Hey, Daddy. - : Baby.

What did the doctor say?

-: They said I'm amazing.

-: Mmm hmm, yeah well, this little girl

snuck some cake and ate too much.

-: What do you mean too much?

Soph, you've got to do a better job monitoring her.

You already know this girl's the trip and the journey.

-: What do you mean do a better job monitor, I do what I can.

- : You are. - : Guys, please don't.

I'm faint.

-: Thank you for calling me.

-: Well, I mean, I know how much she means to you.

She definitely needs you right now.

-: Well, I need her.

Thank you.

-: You guys know what?

-: What's that, baby?

-: I like how you guys look at each other.

It's kinda cute.

-: You stinker.

-: You know what, you have got to stop scaring us.

What, what's wrong?

-: I ate so much of the cake to make myself sick,

because I knew it would bring you two together after our dinner.

Dinner was fun.

I'm sorry.

-: Oh, baby, look at me.

You know how much we love you, right?

-: Yeah, but, why do you guys dislike each other?

-: Dislike each other?

We don't dislike each other.

I love your father.

- I love your Mommy too.

-: Hey, no se, what did he say?

-: Hey, that's our secret.

-: He said he loves you too.

No secrets.

- How's my Emily?

-: Fantastical!

Good, I need to get your blood pressure now, okay?

It's gonna be a little tight.

(upbeat music)

Smoke and mirrors can't see the picture

Clouding up your heart

You burned all your bridges

Running with scissors out there in the dark

(slow music)

-: Is Emily doin' fine?

-: Oh, she's doing fine.

-: I'm waiting on my driver.

-: Great idea.

-: I really admire your relationship with Sophia.

I hope she understands how truly blessed she is to have a mother like you.

I didn't have that.

My mom left when I was eight.

You know what, I just realized

that's why I believe I've been running away from marriage.

I declined his proposal for 12 years.

-: And he stuck around after all of that?

-: Yeah.

-: 12 years!

Honey, your cookies must be laced with the Holy Ghost.

(laughing)

-: I guess he really does love me,

and everything I've been doing, it's to sabotage that.

I don't want that.

I feel stupid.

-: Oh no, you're not.

Do you know anything about your mother?

-: Oh, I know exactly where she lives.

She's off in Brentwood.

-: Honey, that's just 10 minutes away.

Go talk to her.

I mean, even if she rejects you, at least you will have closure.

You know, you owe it to your husband

to give him the wife he deserves.

Tell her how you feel,

and get this thing outta your mind and clear once and for all.

-: Thank you.

-: Oh, it look like your car is here.

To save you now

To save you is gonna take a miracle

To save you

The truth is too hard to deny

If I had to lose

-: Would you like some tea?

-: No, ma'am.

-: How's Dylan?

-: Oh Dylan, he's fine.

He's got a band, a jazz band, and a club,

and he's very successful.

-: He always loved music.

I could remember when he would just bang on my pots and pans.

-: He's really good.

I think you'd like his music.

I've driven past a million times,

tears streaming down my face as you

run your errands,

wondering why.

I just couldn't muster up enough courage to approach you.

Um.

So this is what you abandoned us for?

-: Look, I can't explain why I did what I did,

and there's no excuse for it, but I do understand why you hate me.

-: Oh no, no, no, no, no.

I don't hate you.

-: I'm not a cold person.

I just don't know what to say.

-: Just call me stupid for coming here.

-: No, I don't call you stupid. It wasn't stupid.

You know, I'm glad that you're here.

-: See, I got this great guy back in Chicago, and he loves me.

He loves me very much, and I love him.

We're engaged to get married.

-: Oh, congratulations.

-: But I can't seem to give him my all.

I keep running from him,

and I think it has to do with our relationship, the abandonment.

I often think about that morning.

You made us oatmeal,

and that was the last time we saw you.

I hate oatmeal.

But see, Roman, Roman loves oatmeal.

That's his name, Roman.

And one day, I'd like to be able to share a bowl of oatmeal with him.

-: I'm sorry!

-: Mom, my car is down again.

Where's your keys? I need to make a run.

Oh, sorry, I didn't know we had company.

Hi.

-: I gotta go.

-: No, no, don't go.

Let me finish what I have to say.

-: I can't do this.

I better go.

Thank you.

-: Nina, Nina,

please, come back in.

-: I gotta go.

-: No, just come back in, all right?

Give her a chance to explain.

-: You know who I am?

-: I've seen you around a few times.

I didn't know you were following us.

None of that matters right now, just come back in,

for you and for her.

Please.

(gentle music)

-: All right, go right with you Chi-town.

-: Chi-town.

Time is lost whenever,

we're not together

As roses pass away

Time is not forever

You were there when I was lonely

Somewhere to be found

Where do we go from here

Seems like time has gone away

As the tears roll down my face

Your love reminds me

-: Why'd you leave?

-: I had something to do.

I'm glad Emily's feeling better.

-: She's home.

-: You have a beautiful family.

-: So what's next for you?

-: Going back to Chicago to be a wife.

-: Well, I think you're gonna be a very good one.

-: You think so?

-: I really do.

-: Thank you.

Quincy, today was very special.

-: Yes, it was.

Well, I should go.

But I will be back out towards Chicago in about three weeks.

Maybe I can meet this lucky guy.

-: Go back to your family.

Until then, good night.

-: Good night.

(hand knocking)

-: Service for the woman I miss.

Really?

-: Roman.

I am not afraid

I don't need you, need you anyway

Desire

I am not afraid 'cause I don't need you

I don't need you anyway

-: Roman,

can we talk?

You moved all your things out of the loft

before I even had a chance to explain.

It's not what you think.

I was confused, and I needed to straighten a few things out.

No more games from me.

You don't understand.

Roman, you are all that I have.

Don't make me any more confused than I already am.

-: I loved you.

You wasted 12 years of my life.

(sad music)

Lying here so all alone

You never wanted it anyway.

I love so much

And the pain just eats my heart away

Feel cold alone no where to go

Love is the same, tell me does it ever stay

Does it ever stay

'Cause being here in your arms is all I've ever wanted

Being here in your arms is all I've ever dreamed

-: You know, I think it's the disrespect

of women that have us in this condition that we in today, man.

-: Nah.

-: And to be humbly honest,

I think us men have to do a better job in understanding these women.

And you know what?

I think she took that ring off and left the ball in your court for a reason.

-: Now, you already know I'm psychic,

and I can see into the future you're gonna get back together.

We should go shopping for wedding dresses

and red thongs and get you a Brazilian wax.

-: Brazilian?

Brazilian?

Wait a minute, is it just me, or is she glowing?

-: What?

-: You know what, um hmm.

I have noticed you got a little glow, glow, glow about you or something.

Um hmm.

-: Are you hating?

-: No, I'm just saying, I see the pearls and the glow.

I want some pearls. I want a glow.

-: So what's up?

-: Okay, it's not about her. It's about me!

This moment is about me.

We're in my house, this is me time,

we're focusing on me, not him, but me.

I called my girls over...

-: I'm pregnant.

What, bitch, what?

Oh, get the hell outta here!

-: Congratulations.

-: I found out this morning.

I'm so excited. - : Are you for real?

-: Okay, well this moment is clearly about you.

No, but I talk a lot of mess, but I do love my girls.

- : Oh, we love you. - : We love you too.

-: Rebecca, you mean to tell me your high siditty ass been having sex?

-: Yes, we do.

-: Then let me find out.

But seriously girl, ooh, mm, this is beautiful,

'cause I know you all been trying.

Ooh, hold on, hold on.

Mm, um hmm.

The spirits are tellin' me it's a boy.

Ooh, ooh, I'm gettin' chills.

The children, they are our base.

They are our future.

Our future.

That I believe the children are our future

Tammy, put the glass down.

-: Yes, please.

Let's go find you a wedding dress.

-: Well, first I have to get the ring back

and the man before I can go get a wedding dress.

-: Girl, if you wax that swamp, the man'll come back.

(gentle music)

-: All right, sis, here you go.

You good?

-: Your big sister is depressed.

-: You know Roman has that same disease.

- : Does he? - : Um hmm.

-: Nothin' happened in LA.

-: Okay, why do you feel you have to tell me that?

What's really going on, sis?

-: I talked to her.

You look a lot like her.

-: What was she like?

-: Sad, very sad.

-: Well, did you get the answer you wanted?

-: Do you think you'll ever be able to forgive her?

-: Honestly, Nina, I don't even think about it anymore.

I mean, she moved on with her life. I accepted that for what it is.

-: Did you really?

-: Yeah.

-: Are you able to forgive?

-: I don't know.

Maybe if she asked,

but for me to just forgive when she hasn't even made an effort at all?

It's like a vanity move on my part.

I mean, for me,

I just can't forgive because somebody offended me

or bruised my little ego or my pride, sis.

I mean, come on, she left us.

My forgiveness is valuable, and I'm just not in the business of giving that away.

-: Dylan, that's your mother.

-: Yeah, and she left her children.

Let's just see what happens, all right.

I mean, I'd love to meet her.

Honestly, I want to meet her.

I mean, what was her reason for leaving us, sis?

-: She didn't intend to.

She moved to LA to pursue her dreams.

Mom was a go-getter,

but a few bad decisions, met with hard times,

by the time she managed to get back up on her feet, we were older,

and she said she couldn't face us.

Dylan,

I love you.

-: I love you too, sis.

-: Uh, Regina Carter, violinist,

so that's next week.

Okay, you guys know I love you, and um,

all right, get on outta here.

See you next week.

(sad music)

Hey, guys.

-: Yo, teach, what's going on with you, man?

-: You all right?

-: You look like you're about to cry.

-: I do?

- You good.

-: No, I'm good.

-: You sure?

Yeah.

-: You know, teach, this is the first time

I've come to this class and not learned anything.

We all love your class because every time we come in here,

you teach us something new.

And we don't get that from most of the teachers at this school,

especially at this school.

I just wanted to tell you that.

-: Okay.

Good man.

-: Shake it off.

You can't be in here cryin', man.

-: That's all I'm sayin'.

There's always something to do, you know?

You got emotional stuff on us.

-: Roman, right?

-: You guys are dismissed.

What can I do for you, man?

I'm here with my students.

-: Uh, I came to Chicago for some business.

My wife and my daughter and I, we met with Nina today,

but I really wanted to talk to you.

-: I'm here with my students, man.

-: Listen, brother, I'm sure that there's nothing more that you want to do than

punch me in the face, but

I'm really hoping you'll hear me out before that happens.

Can we talk?

-: Take a sit.

(gentle music)

-: And I hope you don't throw that away.

And last week, I saw something in her eyes, man.

I wish I, are you listening, man?

I can see right through every lie that you try

-: Hey, let's give these two a moment.

-: I spoke to my mother.

-: Really?

Wow, okay.

-: I'm sorry, Roman.

-: How is she?

How was it?

-: I really needed it, for me.

I mean, I really needed it for us.

-: So you got the closure that you need.

-: Definitely.

-: I'm proud of you.

I'm really proud of you.

Quincy, he came by the job,

and I really got to show him some respect for that, I mean.

At first, I thought I was gonna have to put the Chicago hands on him, you know.

-: There is no one else.

If you want me to tell you what happened in LA,

I'm ready to give you every detail,

but trust me, it's not important.

But everything that happened, oh my God, it was necessary.

I don't know how to explain it,

so you're gonna have to listen to everything that I say.

I met Quincy on that day, and we became friends.

I met his wife, and then she became a friend.

And you,

you are absolutely my best friend.

They needed me, and in a huge way, I needed them.

-: Are you good?

-: Oh, I'm better than good.

I'm ready to move on with you.

Did you get a good price for the ring?

-: Oh, I sold that ring.

I got a good price for that too.

Baby, I would never sell anything connected to you.

I love you.

(Nina gasps)

Nina, will you marry me?

-: I'm all you.

-: No regrets.

-: No regrets.

Here I am give your love to me

Take my heart

(guests applauding)

It's my life show me the way to live

'Cause this feels right

I need to know if it's real

(gentle piano music)

-: Look what I've got.

Right here is Roman's special, special oatmeal,

you know, make me strong.

How my father used to make it

with honey and love, and a little bit of raisins.

-: Where are the raisins?

-: A little cinnamon.

-: Where are the raisins?

-: Just eat it.

Go back and forth and in and out of love

But that doesn't change how I feel about us

And girl I know it gets hard at times

But walkin' away just wouldn't be right

So baby let's stay together

Baby let's stay together

Let's stay together

You say some times I drive you crazy

And make you feel like you're losing your mind

But we're just human beings

So you've got your problems

Just like I've got mine

We go back and forth and in and out of love

In and out of love

But that doesn't change how I feel about us

I know walking away just wouldn't be right

So baby let's stay together

Let's stay together

Baby let's stay together

Let's stay together

Baby let's stay together

Doesn't matter what it is

Baby let's stay together

Whatever, we can work it out, baby

As long as your heart's beating

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here

Oh Stay

Baby let's stay together

Let's stay together

Baby let's stay together

If you still believe in love

Then baby let's stay together

Baby let's stay together

Let's stay together

Baby let's stay together

Let's stay together

Baby let's stay together

Let's stay, let's stay, baby

Baby let's stay together

Stay together

Baby let's stay together

Stay together

Let's stay together

(gentle piano music)

One look in his eyes

And the day just ain't the same

He want the love that's changed

Long white trail, wedding bells

Throwing the girl away

I think that I'm insane

'Cause he's so good to me

He makes me so happy

Right where I want to be

Should I say yes

I'm his queen, he's my thing

Oh, I'm so blessed

Should I say yes

When my heart's unsteady he comforts me

But I gotta see what's in me

See, this guy he drives me crazy

Boy, stop

And this unexpected way

And if he were to touch me

Where would it be

I might let him have his way

One look in his eyes and the day just ain't the same

He won't still ever change
