Oh, good.

Did you make pancakes?

Ah-hah, no.

I made brochures.

Is that French for "pancakes?"

No, I'm showing a house to a client today.

Look, look, look, look, look.

So you're saying there really is no pancakes?

Oh, these are really nice.

This is great.

Aren't they?

Yeah.

And the commission I can make from the sale

will get us out of your hair for good.

Really?

That would be so great!

I could finally get--

oh, I'll miss you.

Well, you are so organized!

We should have hired you instead of cousin-- hey, Calvin!

I heard that.

Good morning.

Just kidding.

We ought to be getting out of here, baby.

You tired?

Yes.

Did you hear all that noise last night?

Yeah, I'm tired.

It wasn't us.

Bye, guys.

Talking about tadada.

Did you make breakfast?

No No, but look.

I made brochures.

Well, I can't put syrup on that.

How about coffee?

Got it.

Wow, baby, these are really nice.

You got 'em all color coded and everything.

Thank you, thank you.

I wanna make sure that my client has

all the information he needs.

Well, I know a little bit about this.

We need to make some green to get out the red.

I really wish we would have gotten a loan.

That would have took care of all our problems.

Yeah, well, at least the loan officer was nice enough to give

us a lead on this client.

So what time you heading out of here?

Well, I actually have to meet him in 30 minutes.

You know the commission that I could potentially

make on this sale will be more than enough to do

the repairs to the condo.

Good, because the court only gave us 30

days to get this stuff fixed.

I could lose my weekends with junior.

Well, listen, Mr. Travis Harris is ready to buy,

and I am ready to sell.

Well, I'm ready to get out of CJ and Janine's house.

Yes, because the walls are thin.

I never hear CJ and Janine.

I was talking about them hearing you talk about tadada.

Bye, baby.

Bye, baby.

[theme music]

Please come in, have a seat.

This is a nice place you got.

Oh, this isn't our home.

Me and my husband actually live at the first property

that I showed you.

The condo.

We are on the fifth floor.

OK.

Yeah.

Oh, no, please, come in, have a seat.

I'm sure that I can find you another property.

You know, great places get scooped up fast on the market.

OK, but I really like the one by the lake.

OK, well, they have some other properties

in that neighborhood, and I won't stop until I

find you exactly what you need.

Hm, very determined.

I like that.

Yeah, OK.

Listen, so let me know how you feel about this one.

How am I supposed to see that?

Well, if you slide down the couch to that side.

You're funny.

Mhm.

Look it.

This one has a great sky view, trees, vaulted ceilings,

and a fireplace.

All that's missing is a good woman.

Yeah, I'm sure that you have no problem

with the-- with the ladies.

So what do you think about the next one?

It's not as big as the other one.

OK, well, just click the button and go

down to the-- to the next one.

How do I do that?

You just, um, click.

Which button?

Just this one.

What do you think about--

OK, listen, would you like some juice?

Some water?

Some water's fine.

OK.

Oh, no, no, no.

You sit.

Stay there.

You know--

Didn't I tell his ass to sit down?

I like that circular driveway.

I mean, it's nice and round.

Yes, the driveway was nice, and it's

actually a very good price house for the neighborhood.

Money ain't a thing.

I just wanna see my Lambo parked in that driveway.

I'm glad you found something you liked.

I found a lot of things I liked today.

And it's not just about the houses either.

I pride myself on doing a good job.

So what's the next step?

Well, the next step would be setting up

an appointment for you to view the property

as soon as possible.

So you wanna set up an appointment

to view the property?

I very much would like to see that property.

Mhm.

All right, look, well, here's my card.

Thank you.

Please feel--

Oh, oh, oh, that's--

Oh, oh, it's time to go.

OK.

It's been a wonderful day.

Thank you.

Use this card any time you like.

Mhm.

All right, and that's day--

Oh, oh, really.

--Or in the night.

Mostly nights.

[awkward laugh]

Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!

Such a creep.

I just need to wash it off!

Go, go, go!

Agh!

Man, now this ruins my day, man.

I bet money on this game.

Me too, man.

I bet a bunch of money on this game, Floyd.

Hey, DeShawn, you wanna watch the game?

Yes.

So do I, so shut up.

Hey, what's up, Unc?

- Hey, what's happening? - What's up, CJ?

- I need a favor. - Yeah?

I'm busy. No!

Come on, man!

Oh, he almost got that one.

That fool ain't gonna never score.

I guess you'd know a lot about that, huh?

You're so crazy, Mr. C. Woo!

What are you laughing about?

Heh.

Do your homework!

So yeah, Unc, the board wants to honor

Richard Williams this year.

Richard Williams?

Oh, Richard, that old-- the old fire chief over at station 15.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, you trained him, so they thought

that you should be the one to present him with the city's

local medal of honor.

Wow.

That's nice, scissor.

He's getting the city's local medal of honor?

Yeah.

You should be proud, Unc.

Remember who he is?

He's the guy that saved all the kids off of the bus?

Yeah, I know what he did.

I remember that.

It was on the news, man.

The local medal of honor?

I mean, well, Curtis never got anything that-- that high,

you know?

His was like more like down here, you know.

I mean, that's a major deal.

I mean, it's an award-- CURTIS: Floyd!

It's a little baseball man.

Floyd!

I know what the award is.

Thank you.

But I didn't become a firefighter for awards.

Good, because none of yours are even close to that one.

I mean, like I was saying, you know how the little baseball--

good thing you didn't have a bigger

award like that other guy's.

This would have really hurt.

That's what I'm talking about, Mr. C. True, I know you won't

let him talk to you like that.

Yeah, represent!

DeShawn, did you hear that?

Somebody is talking to you in the kitchen.

The suds in the sink.

Go bust 'em!

I already did the dishes!

Well, then go do 'em again!

Well, then I'll go do 'em again!

[inaudible]

Y'all be crazy.

So Unc, what's up?

You gonna go work on your speech?

Yeah, yeah.

I'll work on the speech.

He don't seem all that excited.

Your uncle?

Your long winded uncle making a speech?

Oh, that's right up his alley.

I know I'm not supposed to be in grown folks' business,

but did you guys see what just happened?

What?

You came in here talking about some other guy

getting an award, and it clearly hurt Mr. C's feelings.

Hurt Curtis' feeling?

Curtis don't have no feelings.

Right, that's not true.

We had something big for Uncle Curtis when he retired.

Wait a minute.

We just roasted him.

We didn't really have nothing good to say about him.

We just ragged on him the whole time.

So we should do something for him.

I know what.

We could have another roast.

I know what.

We could not.

So what do you have in mind, little fella?

Well, if they can give an award to that guy,

why can't we give one to Uncle Curtis?

You'll never guess what happened.

The first house that we saw, the buyer fell through,

and the seller is anxious to sell.

So if we get these documents done in a hurry,

we can have a contract on the house before close of business

today.

That's a lot of paperwork.

Let's say we go through it over drinks.

Actually, my husband is on his way home,

and I have to start dinner. So I can't.

That's right.

You're married.

Yeah.

But are you faithful or playful?

Oh, OK.

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, Mr. Harris.

I'm trying to be your agent here, OK?

But I need you to keep it professional.

Shall we?

My bad.

You know, I'm just the kind of man, I see what I want

and I get it.

Why don't we see about getting this house?

OK, you, um, haven't signed any of the paperwork.

Do you have a question?

Just one.

Uh-huh.

What do I have to do to get to know you better?

Um, google me.

That's not what I had in mind.

OK, listen, you need to back up, OK?

I have had enough of this right now, and-- and I'm done, OK?

I'm-- I'm done.

I am done.

You need to leave and find a new agent.

Who the hell you think you talking to, bitch?

Who are you calling a bitch?

Enough.

Get out.

Get out, now!

You need a new agent, 'cause I'm not it.

Oh, really?

Oh, so you're not gonna leave?

Put that phone down.

Put the phone down now.

Calvin, baby, baby!

Put that phone--

[screaming]

ELLA: Janine, look at the cake.

All right, The party starts soon.

Shh!

Uncle Curtis is still here.

The cake is gone.

The cake is gone.

What do you mean the cake is gone?

I mean, the cake is gone.

DeShawn.

Man, this is so good.

Floyd!

What's up?

Floyd, you are eating the-- the cake!

The cake?

Curtis had some too!

Yeah, I did.

What's the big deal?

Oh, this is the cake for the--

Homeless people.

Yes.

JANINE: The homeless people, right?

- Homeless people. - The homeless people?

That's crazy.

Why would they want cake?

They ain't even got no milk to wash it down with.

That's not nice.

Floyd, what are you doing, eating

the cake for the celebration?

I'm just eating the cake, Ella Mae.

Down!

Floyd, you need to go and get a cake.

Man, might as well get some more refreshments too.

Think you can handle that?

Well, I tell you what, that's a good idea.

Because you know, as a matter of fact, the--

- Ahem! - Bible study.

Baby, the milk is spoiled.

Spoiled?

All Why is there spoiled milk in the refrigerator.

Curtis, now, you know I don't usually have spoiled milk

in my refrigerator.

Did you check the date, baby?

No, I ain't checked the date, baby.

That's what you supposed to do. - You know what?

Go on, go on. I'll check that date.

I'll check that date.

There's just buttermilk left.

Look, at the Shop Until You Drop,

they got sardines on sale, 10 cans for $1.

As a matter of fact, crackers--

Listen, I will get the cake, and I will get the food.

Janine and I got a special guest.

Yes.

OK, DeShawn, what are you doing?

I'll do the decorations!

Yeah.

Shh!

I need some cold water.

I need something cold with that for me.

Listen, baby, water is good.

Water is good for you.

And listen, it will run that spoiled milk right out of you.

It'll make you pee.

Yes.

What are y'all doing?

Y'all are acting real strange right now.

I just don't know why that milk was spoiled.

Boy, I got a weird family.

Quiet down, everybody.

Quiet down.

Listen, I guess we'll have to begin without Calvin

and Miranda, huh?

Yeah.

-

OK, Curtis will be here soon everybody.

Miss Ella, they're coming. Here they come now.

They're coming now.

Shh.

--wait be on fire.

Surprise!

What is this?

Hi, baby.

It's for you.

Unc, we just wanted to thank you

for your hard work and caring for our family and community.

Is this a joke?

Mr. C, we wanted to say thank you for being a good man.

And a brilliant firefighter.

A wonderful husband and provider.

A dedicated father.

Oh, and a good best friend.

Mr.C, I've never seen you fight a fire,

but I've seen you fight for me.

Thanks.

I've worked with Unc as a firefighter.

And he made it a family business and brought us all into it.

I've actually watched him saved many lives, including mine.

So Unc, I just wanna say "thank you."

My turn.

For over 30 years, I have seen this man

walk out that front door, and not one day was I ever afraid.

Because I knew for as long as you were

out there taking care of the community,

my God would take care of you.

I love you, Curtis Payne.

I love you, Ella Payne.

Oh.

Unc, we have a surprise guest.

When I was 10 years old, my family's house caught on fire.

I remember being so scared and hiding in my closet.

A beam fell across the doorway, blocking it.

Next thing I knew, this man, Curtis Payne,

appeared in the closet doorway.

He refused to leave me, even though it looked impossible.

He lifted me out of there, and I am here today because of him.

Thank you so much, Mr. Payne.

[applause]

Good to see you, Jeremy.

Um, wow.

I don't know what to say.

Well, we've got one more surprise, Unc.

It's right this way.

For outstanding service to your family

and in the community--

We present you with this.

Get out of here!

This likeness will be hung in the Curtis

Payne Fireman's Museum, in the Hall of Fame section.

And may it stand for others to strive

to live the way you have.

It's gonna be hung in the what?

Curtis Payne Fireman's Museum.

Baby, is this real?

Yes, baby.

This is overwhelming.

I always said I didn't become a fireman for awards.

But I have to say, standing here, being recognized

for my work feels real good, especially coming

from people I care about.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you.

[applause]

Here he is.

You deserve it, baby.

I'm not finished.

First, I wanna give honor to God, who is--

how do I pray?

Had his hand on my life.

My mind goes back to when I first started

on my firefighting journey.

I had no shoes on my feet.

I had to walk 10 miles to every fire.

Refreshments are--

People think we had trucks.

We didn't have trucks when I started this fireman's journey.

I had to walk to the firetruck, blow

off the tires with my mouth, and then

push the truck to the fire.

Then I had to hold the water in my mouth,

because I was too little to carry the hose.

I was six years old.

And I put it my--

And put it on the fire.

And I just wanna say right now, if it

had not been for the goodness, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Is that chicken?

Please, just wait.

Wait, wait, please don't.

Don't do that, OK?

Just don't do that, OK?

Please.

OK, I understand that, you know, you're saying what

it is that-- ow, that you want.

Please, can you just listen?

Shh.

Do you know who I am?

- Uh-uh. - Huh?

No.

You know how much my family pulls in every day?

You're worried about this damn commission.

I could buy you.

OK.

All right.

Just-- if I could just, for one moment, just--

OK, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm gonna sit here for a second.

But I just-- I just need you to just--

Miranda.

Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,

I'm so glad that you're home!

I told him to leave, and he wouldn't leave,

and he kept trying to touch on me!

And then-- and then--

OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK!

He didn't wanna buy the house. He wanted to buy me.

OK, Miranda, calm down.

Calm down.

All right?

Give me-- give me a minute. - OK, baby.

- Just calm down. - Well, wait, baby.

Why are you putting me out, baby?

I don't under--

You put hands on my wife?

Just a little business transaction.

What you gonna do?

MIRANDA: Baby!

[screaming]

Hey!

Hey, let me in!

Hey, baby, are you OK?

Let me in!

Are you OK?

Oh, CJ, please, please, please come!

What's going on?

It's hairy in there, and the guy,

and he's trying to get Calvin!

What?

[screaming]

Baby!

What the hell?

Baby, get back, get back, get back.

Get out of my house.

Baby!

Open the door, CJ, get the door.

It's OK.

What the is going on?

You all right?

I'm good, I'm good.

Baby, how's your hand?

Better than his face.

I'm so happy you got here when you did.

Who was that guy?

I don't know.

He's a client named Travis Harris.

Black syndicate family Travis Harris?

Oh my goodness.

The doughboys that's doing all the crime in the city?

Yes, his family is crazy.

And they're everywhere.

Oh boy.
