To go out.

Live here.

If you didn't live here, what

You gonna do with the kids when

You want to go out?

Nicole wanted to know if I --

Curtis: no, you're not

Allowed.

No way. No más. No, sir.

He said "No."

Oh, that sounds like a good

Idea.

Curtis: what did he just say?

Ella: he said, "Auntie, can

You just talk to unc?

I just want to spend some time

With nicole. Man!"

C.J., he is not your problem.

You need to find a balance

Between your social life and

Fatherhood.

C.J.: it's just not fair.

Jazmine: hey, daddy, I was

Picked for hall monitor today.

C.J.: oh, I'm so proud of

You, baby.

That's great.

Malik: no, it's not.

She wrote me up.

Jazmine: hey, it is not my

Fault.

It does not take 10 minutes to

Use the bathroom.

I mean, next time, you'll just

Have to handle your business a

Little bit faster.

Ella: jazmine.

Malik: dad, since it's

Friday, can kevin spend the

Weekend?

C.J.: yep, 'cause I love you,

You're my son, and I takes care

Of my kids.

Curtis: no, we take care of

Your kids.

Things that we can do.

Jazmine: dad, who are you

Gonna go see shortly?

C.J.: I don't have to answer

To you.

Jazmine: we were supposed to

Be having father-daughter night.

So, let me ask you that question

One more time.

Who are you gonna go see?

C.J.: jazmine, come here.

Now, I forgot that I invited

Miss jameson to come over before

I told you we'd have

Father-daughter night.

Jazmine: but, dad, you're

Still seeing her?

Doesn't she have, like, some

Papers to grade or -- or

Somebody to suspend?

C.J.: we can have

Father-daughter night tomorrow,

Okay?

Malik: man, I told you I

Can't be beaten.

Kevin: man, please.

Malik: kevin, are you really

Gonna let her play for you?

Kevin: yeah.

Malik: man, I'm really about

To beat you now.

Kevin: well, let's see.

You're gonna press both of them

For the combo, all right?

Jazmine: you know who's hot.

Kevin: you sure you never

Played this?

You're good!

Jazmine: thanks, kevin.

You're so nice, unlike your

Bighead friend.

Kevin: who's beating who now?

C.J.: um...

Nicole wanted to still go out,

So I was wondering if it's okay

If we still went out.

Both: no.

Ella: c.J., we've already had

This talk.

As much as we love malik and

Jazmine...

Curtis: speak for yourself.

Ella: curtis.

...They are your children, not

Ours.

So, you need to work this out...

Today.

Sorry, nicole.

Nicole: no, it's okay.

I understand.

Curtis: you heard that way

Over there?

Nicole: well, you talk kind

Of loud.

Curtis: I tell her all the

Time.

C.J.: I'm sorry, nicole.

Nicole: no.

C.J.: I guess you're not used

To dating a guy with kids.

Nicole: it's okay -- really.

I don't mind staying in.

But you can't blame a girl for

Trying.

C.J.: I ain't gonna blame you

For nothing, girl, 'cause you

Look...

Nicole: [ chuckles ]

C.J.: mmm.

Nicole: mmm.

Malik: oh, well.

Canceling our father-daughter

Day yesterday.

But like I promised, it's me and

You today, all right?

Look, I got the cookie dough all

Set up for us to bake cookies.

Jazmine: oh, and after we

Make cookies, I have a lot of

Other fun things that we can do.

Night.

C.J.: did I say today?

Nicole: yeah, today.

C.J.: oh. Listen, nicole, I

Already told jazi that I'd spend

The day with her, and my aunt

And uncle took malik and kevin

Out to the movies, so I don't

Have a sitter.

Nicole: oh. Okay.

Uh...Well, I guess we can just

Do this again some other time.

C.J.: no, no.

Hey, I got an idea.

Why don't you help me and

Jazmine bake cookies?

Nicole: oh. That sounds fine.

Jazmine: no, it doesn't.

C.J.: we can play a game.

Nicole: that could be fun.

Jazmine: uh, no, it wouldn't.

C.J.: we'll watch a movie.

Nicole: I can always watch

Another movie.

Jazmine: no, you do not want

To watch another movie!

C.J.: jazmine, why don't you

Tell me what you want to do?

Jazmine: I want to have

Father-daughter day, not

Father-daughter-assistant

Principal day.

If I wanted to see miss jameson,

I would just get in trouble at

School.

C.J.: young lady, you're

About to get in trouble right

Now.

Nicole: c.J., I can

Totally --

C.J.: no, I can do this.

I can do it.

I will bake cookies with you and

Watch a movie with you.

Everything will be all right.

Trust me.

Jazmine: the dough is

Supposed to be teaspoon-sized,

Not golf-ball-sized.

C.J.: hey, hey, don't play

With it.

Now, like I told you...The

Bigger, the better.

I got to go.

Jazmine: but, dad, where are

You going?

C.J.: my job is done.

Now it's up to the oven.

Nicole: they're going to take

The horse away.

C.J.: the poor horse.

Nicole: [ sniffles ]

C.J.: do you smell smoke?

Nicole: no, I --

C.J.: get the cookies.

Get the cookies.

Jazmine: ohh! Daddy!

The oven was too hot.

You burned them up!

C.J.: it's okay.

It's all right.

Those cookies look good.

I just need milk.

Jazmine: what are you doing?!

C.J.: it's all right.

It's all right.

Daddy-daughter day, right?

Yay! Daddy-daughter day!

The horse is...

How's the horse?

Nicole: it's over now.

You missed the ending.

C.J.: you want to rewind?

Nicole: no. No, that's okay.

Jazmine: daddy, with or

Without milk, these cookies are

Nasty.

Would you like a cookie,

Miss jameson?

Nicole: you know, c.J., this

Isn't gonna work.

Jazmine: yeah, I agree.

Both: spend time with her.

No, I'm talking about you.

No, you!

Just forget it!

C.J.: [ sighs ] Women.

Kevin: no, man, I don't even

Like tracy like that.

She's too prissy.

Malik: man, but she is fine!

And she wears a training bra.

Kevin: yeah, she is a cutie,

But she's too stuck-up for me.

I like lisa.

Malik: lisa?

Isn't she kind of rough?

Kevin: well, that's just the

Way I like 'em.

She likes video games, sports,

Racecars.

Man, she's smart and street at

The same time.

She's a keeper.

Jazmine: hmm.

So, he likes the tomboy type,

Huh?

C.J.: hey, baby.

Jazmine: daddy!

Daddy, don't do that!

C.J.: come here.

Now, I just wanted to apologize

To you for earlier.

I know --

Jazmine: yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dad, do you still have that old

Baseball cap?

C.J.: it's in the closet.

Why?

Jazmine: I have an outfit I

Want to wear with it.

C.J.: okay. I'll go get it

For you.

Jazmine: okay.

C.J.: all right.

Jazmine: thanks, dad.

If you don't have time for me,

Then, daddy, I'll find somebody

Who does.

C.J.: jazmine.

Why you look like you about to

Bust a rhyme?

Kevin: I think she looks fly.

Jazmine: thanks, k-dawg.

C.J.: "K" who?

Kevin: I thought my name was

Kevin.

Malik: jazmine, are you okay?

Jazmine: back up off me,

Homey.

Hey, kevin, did you catch that

Game last night?

Kevin: are you talking about

The hawks game?

Jazmine: yeah. The hawks.

Kevin: you know, that

3-pointer that joe johnson made

Was off the chain.

He hit it right at the buzzer.

Jazmine: yeah! Right. Right.

Right.

Curtis: what the --

Both: don't ask.

Kevin: so, malik, you gonna

Hit the courts?

Malik: yeah.

Kevin: I'm gonna beat you

Like an egg.

Jazmine: [ laughs loudly ]

"Beat you like an egg" -- that's

Hilarious.

Malik: you know, you are

Really scaring me.

Let's go, kevin.

C.J.: malik, be back before

The streetlights come on.

Malik: okay.

C.J.: you don't have a fever.

You been watching "The wire"?

Jazmine: no. They don't keep

It real enough for me.

A'ight, fam, I'm out of here.

Peace.

C.J.: fam? Who is fam?

Curtis: you better turn that

Hat around, little girl.

I am totally convinced janine

Was using drugs way before you

Discovered it.

C.J.: I made those cookies.

Curtis: uh-huh. Uh-huh.

I was wondering if you was gonna

Tell me.

[ doorbell rings ]

C.J.: hey.

Nicole: hey.

C.J.: thanks for coming back

Over.

Nicole: [ sighs ]

C.J.: I'm sorry about

Earlier.

Nicole: me too.

I was a little immature.

I mean, we just started dating,

And I know you have kids, so I

Really should not be demanding

Your attention like that.

C.J.: it's cool.

It's cool, really.

And my aunt was just telling me

That I need to balance

Everything out, so, speaking of

My aunt, she took the kids to

The movies so that we could have

The whole house to ourselves.

Nicole: huh.

Well, that sounds nice.

C.J.: mm-hmm.

Nicole: mmm.

Curtis: oh, I can't believe

That.

Stand in that line all that

Time, get up to the window, they

Talking about it's sold out.

Ella: curtis, we could have

Seen another movie.

Curtis: I told you, ella, I

Ain't paying no money to watch

No cartoon.

Together: it wasn't a

Cartoon!

Malik: it was claymation!

Curtis: that's even worse.

Nobody want to pay no money to

Watch clay talk.

C.J.: hello.

Ella: ahh.

Sorry, c.J.

We promised c.J. That we would

Let him have his privacy.

Curtis: he can have privacy

When he get a private home.

Ella: curtis.

Come on, kids -- to your rooms.

Hurry, guys.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Curtis!

Curtis: what?

Ella: come on.

Sorry, c.J.

[ chuckles ]

Curtis: [ laughs ]

C.J.: that's my uncle --

He's crazy.

Nicole: he's different.

C.J.: mm-hmm.

Nicole: [ chuckles ]

Mmm.

Malik: uh, ew. Stop.

Okay, um, miss jameson, um, can

You pass my game controller?

I think it's behind that pillow

Over there.

Oh, what do you know?

It's right here.

Well, thank you.

You two kids have fun.

C.J.: [ chuckles ]

Curtis: what?!

Five women at the same -- man,

How you dating five women at the

Same time?

You cut that mess out.

Cut that mess out.

You're too old for that.

[ laughs ]

You heard me.

One day you're gonna get burnt

And the doctor ain't gonna be

Able to put the fire out.

Okay. You watch what I tell you.

C.J.: [ clears throat ]

Curtis: all right.

I'll call you later on, then.

C.J.: [ clears throat ]

Curtis: oh, okay, dad.

C.J.: [ clears throat ]

Curtis: your grandpa reuben

Said hey.

C.J.: grandpa reuben got

Burned?

Curtis: a couple of times.

[ laughs ]

His grandpa's a player.

Nicole: I have no words.

Curtis: but you're a

Principal.

I know you got a few of them.

[ laughs ]

Nicole: you got jokes.

Ella: curtis!

Curtis: what?!

C.J.: go see.

Curtis: what --

Doggone chair is jacked up.

Hold on. I'll be back.

C.J.: oh, you're coming back?

Curtis: yeah, I'll be back.

Nicole: of course.

Nicole: hey, why don't we go

And get some ice cream?

C.J.: oh, that's a good idea.

Let me go ask my aunt and make

Sure she can watch the kids.

Nicole: okay.

C.J.: all right.

Malik: get out!

You're so annoying!

Jazmine: [ crying ]

Nicole: jazmine.

C.J.: she said yeah, so we

Can go.

Nicole: that -- that's great.

But, um, jazmine just ran to her

Room crying.

C.J.: really?

Nicole: yeah.

Look, why don't you go back

There and talk to her and I will

Go and get us some ice cream and

Bring it back?

C.J.: what did I do to

Deserve you?

Nicole: the question is...

What are you going to do to

Deserve me?

C.J.: that is the question.

[ chuckles ]

Jazmine!

What's wrong?

Jazmine: why do you care?

C.J.: what do you mean?

Jazmine: nobody cares about

Me.

You blew off father-daughter

Night just to see miss jameson,

And malik said I was annoying.

C.J.: malik said --

Malik!

Malik: yes?

C.J.: you said jazmine was

Annoying?

Malik: well, she is.

Kevin: jazmine, don't listen

To malik.

You're cool with me.

Jazmine: so, you like me?

Kevin: yeah, like a sister --

The coolest sister in the world.

Jazmine: thanks, kevin.

It's nice to know somebody likes

Me being around.

C.J.: why don't you guys give

Us a minute?

Kevin: all right.

C.J.: jazmine...

I love you, baby.

And I'm sorry that I ruined

Father-daughter night, okay?

But this is not the way to get

Attention, and I don't want you

Growing up to be that kind of

Girl.

Jazmine: what kind of girl?

C.J.: the kind of girl that

Does bad things and dates guys

That treat her bad because she

Didn't spend enough time with

Her daddy.

Jazmine: it just seems like

You never have time for me

Anymore.

C.J.: well, you just taught

Me a valuable lesson.

So, we're gonna be spending a

Lot more time together.

Jazmine: love you, daddy.

C.J.: I love you, too, baby.

So, what we gonna do?

I just sent miss jameson out for

Some ice cream.
