Goodbye. Thank you!

Have a nice day!

Bye, white! Bye, black!

That man's name is

Leroy williams, not "Black."

Ella, please.

Leroy is cursive for "Black."

Everybody know that.

Everybody know that.

Well, this is it.

In a couple of months, baby, we

Will be saying goodbye to all

The memories in our house.

No, no. I'm right with you.

No. I know, memories.

Curtis, don't play.

Baby, memories light the

Corners of your mind.

Memories.

Ha ha!

Ha ha!

Don't do that baby, please?

Curtis, what about all of --

Baby, go ahead.

What about your -- we'll just --

Oh.

Oh, I ain't getting...Right.

There it is!

What are you doing?

What does it look like I'm

Doing?

I'm packing.

Baby, before you know it, time

Goes by...

Just like that.

Just like that.

Okay, curtis...

Can't snap.

Okay, baby, wait a minute.

Curtis, what about all of the

Memories that are in this house,

Baby?

Remember this?

Oh...

Ha ha!

Look at it.

I remember that picture, huh?

See how big that smile is you

Got on there.

* da da da da

Let's see. Let me see.

Curtis!

Ha ha! Okay, where we at?

Where we at?

You playing too much.

I know, baby.

Baby, where's the box I had?

Didn't I have a box right here?

Oh, I got it.

I got it! I got it!

Wait, wait, wait!

Don't get up! Don't get up.

I got it.

Curtis, I really think we

Need to rethink this, baby.

I think we just need to look at

This whole thing again, please?

Can we just look at it again?

I think you need to look at

This check again.

Can you do that again, please?

"Fire and desire."

Uh! Baby, rick james,

Teena marie, come on.

I know.

This is the song I played for

Us on our first date.

You don't remember that?

Curtis, that song wasn't even

Out on our first date.

That wasn't you?

Oh. The blonde. Ha.

Boy, that had to end, too.

Curtis! You play too much.

Look.

Curtis, look.

Okay, curtis.

Jazmine scraped her knee on this

Table.

Yeah, and jazmine's mama

Stole a vase off this table.

Calvin took his first steps

Right here.

And I've been regretting it

Ever since.

Ah! Calvin! Curtis!

Yeah, he's in jail.

And miranda!

She's at the hospital, baby.

It's a sign. We can't sell.

We've got to hurry up. Come on.

What that -- how that become

A sign we can't sell?

Curtis, I do not want calvin

To miss the birth of his first

Child.

Technically he already missed

It!

Technically this his second

Child!

That we know of.

Technically.

So, let me get this right.

Your baby daddy's in jail.

Yes.

And you are raising a child

From the other baby mama.

Yes.

Oh, everything is perfect.

You should be happy.

You should jump off a cliff.

I would, but then I would

Miss the end of the family

Drama.

Ooh...

[ knock on door ]

Miranda!

Oh, miss ella.

Hi, dr. Jawfy.

Hello.

Baby, where's janine?

I thought she would be here.

Hi.

Hi. Is janine gonna take this

Baby out of me?

No.

Then who cares where janine

Is? Ooh!

Can I get you something?

Oh, a needle. I need a shot.

The pain!

Finally you make some sense.

Which would you like, the make

Me feel less pain or make me

Feel like I'm flying?

I don't want to hurt the

Baby.

Baby won't feel a thing.

You, on the other hand, will

Feel like jaws of life have

Come --

Dr. Jawfy! Thank you.

Can we just get her something

That will settle her down?

And if that does not work, then

We'll try something stronger.

You got it.

This won't hurt me one bit.

Whoa! Wait! Wait!

Listen, I can do this.

I'm gonna do this natural,

Miss ella, okay?

Can you please pray with me?

We're gonna pray, yes.

Okay, let's pray.

Okay.

Okay.

Ah, heavenly father --

Aah!

Ha ha! Wait, wait!

Oh, it hurts!

Give me the needle!

Give me the drug!

Give it to me! Give it to me!

Give it to me!

I've heard that before. Huh.

Okay, wait, wait.

Wait a minute.

Listen, I can do this natural.

Well, oh --

How about I take the shot and

Come back in, oh, say, a few

Centimeters?

Then we can all party.

[ cellphone ringing ]

Get the phone. Oh!

Thank you.

Ah, who is it?

Oh. Hey, hey, baby.

Hey, baby, hey!

Guess who down here locked up.

You know who locked up, don't

You?

Of course. Calvin.

And your cousin d-mac.

I'm talking to ella. Look.

Look at ella.

Ha ha! The death of me!

Curtis, did you bail him out?

Why would I do that?

D-mac owes me $20.

I mean calvin.

Why would I do that?

Calvin owes me $20,000.

Curtis --

Miss ella, can I please have

The phone?

Okay.

Mr. Payne, please put him on

The phone.

How you know d-mac?

No. Calvin!

If you do not put my husband on

Right now, I will jump through

This phone.

Why you sound so stressed?

Mr. Payne.

Here. Want to talk to you.

Miranda?

Oh, baby.

Baby, I need you here with me.

Baby, I'm trying.

Just hold on.

We'll be there as soon as we

Post bail.

Calvin, I can't do this

Without you.

Miranda, I will not miss the

Birth of my first child.

Uh, let me see it.

Miranda, yeah, baby, technically

He already missed the birth of

The first one.

Technically, this is the second

One.

I don't want to talk.

Ohh.

Jazi! Lunch is ready!

[ telephone rings ]

Hello. Hey. Yeah.

Okay, hold on.

Whew! Thank goodness because

I am starving.

Yeah. Well, eat up.

Ha ha.

Uh, daddy, are you feeling

Okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Why do you say that?

Well, because you made me a

Mustard and mayonnaise sandwich.

Oh. I'm sorry, babe.

You're gonna need some turkey to

Go with that.

Oh, yeah, and how about some

Cookies?

Cookies.

I'll give you some cookies.

All right, there we go.

You got your cookies.

You got your turkey.

Ah, there you go.

Now I want you to take that and

This.

I want you to take it all.

I want you to eat it upstairs.

How about that?

Take it in your room.

Eat your sandwich.

Have a great lunch.

Wait a minute.

Seriously, I can eat in my room?

Yes.

Yes!

Wait a minute.

This is a setup, isn't it?

No. Go ahead and enjoy your

Lunch.

Aah! Okay.

I hope I don't regret this

Later!

Sorry about that.

Yeah, hey, monica.

Listen, um, I've been thinking

About that, too, and, you know,

And things got carried away.

I'm a married man, and you're

Janine's friend, and, you know,

I should have more self-control.

Yeah.

No, of course, janine does not

Know, and I plan to keep it that

Way.

So I can't even talk about this

No more, okay?

All right. Okay.

Janine doesn't know what?

Can a man have a little

Privacy?

Listen, I'm glad you're here.

The cable guy's gonna be here in

30 minutes.

The kids are upstairs.

Jazmine's having her lunch.

I got to go meet aunt ella.

I just stopped to make a

Sandwich.

I'm on my way to the hospital to

Help aunt ella with miranda

Right now.

You just don't even want to

Be here anymore, huh?

What are you talking about,

C.J.?

I'm talking about...I just

Seen you for 30 seconds, and

That's the longest I've seen you

In the last two weeks.

What happened?

What's going on?

Why are you so upset?

What's going on is that you

Spend all hours of the night

Working with a man that is

Clearly attracted to you!

For the umpteenth time, he is

My boss, okay?

My boss, not my lover.

Not your lover?

Not my lover.

That's why you got his

Cologne all over you?

I smell his cologne on you!

Why is he so close to you that

You got to --

Will you please keep your --

You know what?

I'll get something to eat at the

Hospital.

No, no, no!

We're gonna talk about this

Right now!

We're gonna talk about this now!

That's what I'm talking about!

That's why I kissed monica!

What?

Oh, now you want to talk.

I didn't mean for it to happen,

But that's why I need to talk to

You so we can figure out why it

Happened.

You did not...Just tell me

You kissed monica.

What the hell's going on, c.J.,

Huh?

Things that bad that you had to

Stoop that low?

You had to go and kiss my

Friend?

It just happened.

You're not here.

You're not kissing me.

You're not --

I got needs!

You got needs?

You also have vows.

You have vows.

Vows? Are you serious?

With you in the office all of

The time?

In the office working, not up

In the house kissing.

And I'm by myself.

By yourself for a moment.

Just because I'm not here at

Your beck and call, you think

That justifies what you did?

She was my friend, c.J.

She was my friend.

I opened up my house to her, and

You took it as an opportunity.

Opportunity to do what?

To have your little needs met

Apparently.

Look, are you serious?

You're the one to go out of

Here, going to work dressed like

You're going to the club with

This guy, all hours of the

Night.

This has nothing to do with

Me.

This has everything to do with

The fact that you kissed monica

In my house.

Our house.

My house.

And for the record...

I should have taken the

Opportunity when I had it, too.

Opportunity?

Opportunity for what?

To kiss roland.

A couple of them.

That's what I suspected in

The first place!

That's what I knew was going on!

Opportunity!

What are you talking about?

[ door slams ]

I have bad news.

What?

You're pregnant.

I kill me.

I absolutely kill me.

No, I'm gonna kill you,

Dr. Jawfy.

Don't play with me like that.

You're not the father.

What are you doing here?

He's on his way.

The men always say that.

Let's see.

You have dilated exactly

3 centimeters since being

Admitted.

Slacker.

I don't know how much more of

This I can take.

Miranda, you're going to be

Okay.

You're gonna be okay.

Your blood pressure is...

Uh-oh.

Is everything okay?

I don't want to frighten you,

But your blood pressure is very

High.

Is something wrong with the

Baby?

No, no, no, no, no.

You may be having some sort of

Reaction to the pain medication.

Okay, well, can we just give

Her something to lower her

Pressure?

It's not that simple.

She's only dilated 3

Centimeters, and she's been here

Overnight, so at this point we'd

Be taking a lot of risks.

Okay, well, what happens in

The best-case scenario?

Yeah.

Best-case scenario?

Everything works out fine.

In a couple of days, she goes

Home with a healthy baby.

Okay.

Worst-case scenario --

There is no worst-case

Scenario.

Actually, there is worst-case

Scenario.

Excuse me?

But let's hope for the best.

Please tell me that you're

Going to do everything you can

To help her.

I am going to do everything I

Can to help her.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Dad, I need to talk to you.

Not right now, son.

I got a lot on my mind.

Don't walk away from me when

I'm talking to you.

Who do you think you're

Talking to?

I'm talking to the man who

Disrespected my mom.

Yeah, jazmine told me

Everything.

This is grown-folks'

Business.

Oh, so, when I'm grown,

That's what I should do, just

Get with any woman I want to!

Look, malik...

When you get older, maybe you'll

Understand, but for right now,

You need to mind your own

Business.

No.

You betraying my mom is my

Business.

All right?

You don't deserve her.

Okay, now, you need to stop

Right there before you say

Something that you're gonna

Regret.

How could you do this to her?

How could you do this to us?

Son, if I've disappointed you

In...Any way, I'm sorry.

No.

You don't have to say it to me.

You need to go find my mom and

Apologize.

Son, I'm gonna say two things

To you.

First thing is, don't forget who

It was that raised you through

All the things that this family

Has had to deal with.

Number two, I'm your father, and

As long as you are breathing the

Breath that I gave you, don't

You ever disrespect me like this

Again.

Don't disrespect y--

Ah, ah, ah!

See, I like what you're doing.

I like all of that.

I like that you're taking

All the air in and you're doing

Your pushups and your

Testosterone is flowing, and you

Want to protect your mother's

Honor, but don't get your ass

Beat.

'cause I can treat you like my

Son or I can treat you like a

Grown man.

You gonna tell me about how

To be a man?

I'm more of a man than you

Ever --

Don't disrespect me, malik!

And don't tell me what to do!

Is that right?

Dad! Dad!

Look, get out of my house!

You want to be grown?

And don't come back until you

Learn some respect!

Everybody in this damn house

Done went crazy.

Daddy, I'm sorry!

Ow!

Hi.

Let me in!

Miranda, how you doing?

Ooh. Ha ha.

Hi, janine.

How's she doing?

She's doing very well.

She's dilated 4 more

Centimeters.

Oh, she's so very close.

Oh, that's great.

I see they gave her the good

Stuff.

Mm-hmm.

She has had one heck of a

Time, though.

Santa is here? He's coming?

Just calm down, baby.

Don't even think about that.

That's right.

We're right here.

Everything is gonna be just

Fine.

We're here to hold your hand the

Entire -- hey, hey!

Whoa! Oh, god.

How about this -- get her

Some soda and some ice chips?

I can do that.

My hand is used to it.

Miranda.

Ooh, hi, baby. Oh.

Oh, santa's here.

Oh, my god, I didn't think

I was gonna make it.

Ha ha! You made it.

I didn't either.

County takes forever releasing

Criminals.

Pops, I'm not a criminal, and

I would have been here sooner if

You didn't have to stop at

Chickin' smacks.

Don't be mad nobody wants

Your bologna sandwich.

What the -- hey!

Thank you. Thank you.

No, this if for --

I don't care. I'm thirsty!

I'm thirsty! I'm so thirsty!

Curtis.

Ooh! Another one! The pain!

Ooh, I need some more drugs.

No, no, no.

No, baby, breathe.

Hee-hee, hoo.

That doesn't work!

That crap does not work!

I need some drugs.

Please, miss ella, somebody --

Paging dr. Janine.

Need drugs.

Not funny right now.

Ooh.

Wow, miranda.

How long you been in labor?

Man, this baby's taking so

Long to get here, we're gonna

Name him f.E.M.A.

She's exhausted.

Janine was the same way when

Malik was born.

Malik was natural.

Jazi was the epidural.

No. Jazi was natural.

Malik was the epidural.

Jazi...Was the epidural.

Malik was natural.

I know what I'm talking about.

You was out of it!

I'm standing right there --

I was the one pushing the

Baby out!

Hello!

Life-changing moment happening

Here.

Is everything okay?

Perfect.

Never better.

I can feel the love.

You know, calvin, seeing your

Child being born is one of the

Greatest feelings in life.

That's the point where a family

Is supposed to take on a whole

New meaning.

Oh, is that when it happens?

Yeah.

You sure you want to do this

Right now?

I'd really rather do it at

The house, but that's where you

Went and kissed monica, so...

You don't even know the whole

Story.

You don't stick around long

Enough to hear --

I don't need to hear the

Whole story.

I know enough to know that you

Were intimate with another woman

In my house.

That's sacred, okay?

That's where we raise our

Children, c.J.

Don't tell me about where we

Raise our children!

I've been raising them by myself

All alone lately!

I want a divorce.

Uh, baby, I think this is a

Good time to have a contraction.

Aah!

Well, you did it.

You have a healthy baby boy.

You mean "We" have a healthy

Baby boy.

You still have time for a

Blood test.

99% accurate.

Thanks for all your help,

Dr. Jawfy.

He's so beautiful.

[ cellphone rings ]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

He's -- he's beautiful.

That's my boss.

I've got to go to work.

I'll talk to you later.

You just -- what you --

You're just gonna walk out of

Here in the middle -- this is a

Family moment.

How you gonna just walk out of

Here like that?

You gonna walk out of here!

Janine!

What is wrong with them?

It's a long story, ma.
