[yawn]

Morning, sexy.

Hey, baby.

I didn't hear you get up.

I know you didn't.

You was Calvinized.

[laugh]

Whatever.

Who fell asleep first?

BOTH: You.

Oh, you look like you worked yourself up quite an appetite,

huh?

[laugh]

I love you, baby.

I'm so happy that with all we've been through,

we can still laugh about it.

[smooch]

I love you too.

We're gonna be all right.

Look at CJ and Janine, they've been through the fire,

and they're all right.

[phone ringing]

Oh.

Ooh.

BOTH: The bank.

Yeah.

You know, this is crazy.

They should have some kind of law against harassing people

this early in the morning.

Well, we've gotta be behind on our mortgage payments, baby.

We're gonna have to do something soon.

I know, baby, but when you got shot, you getting better

was the priority.

I haven't even talked to them.

[cell phone ringing]

Can you believe they're calling my cell phone now?

Baby, how much time do you think we have?

Not a lot.

Can we ask your parents?

I've already asked them, baby, and they're short on money too.

I did not know it was this serious.

Oh, hey, baby, listen, what we'll do

is I'll give them a call later today.

But when we talk to them, we need to have a game plan.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

MIRANDA: OK?

Maybe we could work out some new payment plan or something.

But until then, let's have pancakes.

Pancakes.

Baby.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.

You want some pancakes too, because last night,

you were Mirandized.

No.

This letter is from the bank.

They've taken our condo, baby.

We've been foreclosed on.

Oh, boy.

[theme music]

Baby.

The light in the bathroom is out.

Oh, baby, I'm trying to save money, so I unscrewed the bulb.

Well, Curtis, are you going to unplug the TV

when you're not watching it?

[chuckle]

Baby, be serious.

Curtis, I'm going to the health center, baby.

Hey, baby, if you walk down there,

it will save money on gas.

[mocking chuckle]

Baby, be serious.

Hello.

Why are you just standing outside?

Well, Curtis told me to wait until you got ready to leave,

so that way, you wouldn't lose too

much heat with all the door opening

and closing and everything.

Shh.

You hear that?

Hear what?

Some money staying in my pocket.

Cha-ching!

You know what?

You two deserve each other.

You are really letting my heat out though.

I need you to shut that door. - All right, I love you, baby.

Shut that door.

Make no sense.

Now the heat's all out.

I've gotta warm up again.

What up, Fliz-ziz-zoid?

The crime rate.

You ain't hear about the Johnson's last night, did you?

They got cleaned out.

That's a mess.

You telling me.

But I tell you what, I got the answer

to your prayers, brother.

- That's not possible. - Why?

'Cause if my prayers were answered,

you wouldn't be sitting here.

Look here, my cousin hooked me up with a home security system.

Man, please, I can't afford no security system.

What?

You can't afford not to have one.

[chuckle]

That was in the commercial.

Yeah, whatever.

Look, even if I could afford one,

I can't pay for the installation.

Don't worry about it.

My cousin showed me how to hook it up.

You know what, You probably won't

have to pay anything at all.

Hardly.

And what the hell do you mean by "hardly"?

Look, for four easy payments of $25 each,

this system can be yours.

Wait a minute.

Don't you owe me $100?

Well, I won't after this.

So what do you say?

I say I need to get that security system quick because

I'm getting robbed as we speak.

[laugh]

I'll be back.

Hurry up.

And you're letting our heat out.

[sigh]

Calvin, I really don't feel like making

small talk when our home is about to be foreclosed.

We should've rescheduled dinner.

Baby, I feel you.

But then Janine's gonna wanna know why,

and she's gonna ask a million questions.

Now we agreed not to mention.

OK. OK.

Now you gotta have faith in me.

I'll handle it.

OK.

[knock on door]

JANINE: Coming.

[WHISPERING] Hey.

He's sleeping.

Hi.

[smooch]

CJ's in the kitchen.

Hey.

How you doing?

Let's go upstairs with the babies.

Hey, Cal.

What's up, baby?

Hey, how you feeling, CJ?

You OK?

You had a rough day?

Yeah, something like that.

Hey, well, hopefully, my baked chicken will cheer you up.

Nobody bakes a chicken like you.

That's what I'm talking about, man.

And if my day job don't pan out, maybe I can become a chef,

you know?

Sorry about the late dinner, man.

I got some macaroni and cheese in the oven.

And, you know, it was a rough day for me too.

Tell me about it.

Hey, do me a favor--

grab some glasses and put on the table.

Oh, gotcha.

Cal.

What?

The dishes.

Oh, I'm trippin'.

You said "glasses." - Right.

- OK. - Miranda.

MIRANDA: Yeah?

What did you do to your husband?

Oh, the kids are upstairs.

What are you talking about?

Oh, CJ, I'm so sorry.

What did you ask me?

What's up with you two spacing out on me?

You know what?

[clap]

Everybody just sit.

OK.

OK, wait, wait.

Can we just stop for a second?

I can't do this.

I'm sorry, Miranda. - Janine, no.

I'm not trying to step on toes,

but listen, they got their home foreclosed on today.

What?

I told you not to say anything.

Why can't you keep a secret?

Baby, I know, but we need help.

Yeah, thanks for having faith in me.

Baby, it's not-- I have faith in you.

Weren't We weren't supposed to say anything, Miranda.

Hold, hold, hey, man, wait a minute.

This is no time to argue.

We're all family.

All right?

We shouldn't be keeping secrets anyway.

How much do you owe?

Thousands.

[sigh]

Well, what are you planning to do?

Well, I called the bank today.

They're supposed to get back to us tomorrow.

We'll figure it out.

But we do not have enough money to cover what we owe.

Miranda.

I am afraid we are gonna lose our home!

Listen, it'll be OK.

All right?

Uh, CJ, I hate to ask you again, but in the meantime,

can you--

Well, let me just stop you, because we--

Listen, the truth of it is, with everything

we've got going on and Malik being in college, we just--

I mean, honestly, we don't have it.

Well, did you ask Aunt Ella?

No, no way, no way, and I'm not going to.

They've already done so much for us, CJ,

and they'll be disappointed in me.

That's not true.

These things happen, man.

And we're all family, so--

look, man, if there's anything else we can do,

you know, just ask.

But for now, let's just go in this kitchen

and have a great meal.

Hey.

All right, Floyd.

I brought the ladder out like you asked.

Right, cool, cool, cool.

Now look, we need to find the right place that we

can put this camera, all right?

OK.

All right, now look, this camera, it

feeds right into the closed caption on your TV, all right?

All right.

So go in there and turn to channel 99, all right?

And then I'm gonna holler, and you let me know when

you get a picture, all right? - OK, all right.

This ain't gonna take but a minute.

- 99? - 99.

OK.

FLOYD: Hey, Curtis, you got the picture yet?

No.

I ain't got the remote yet.

What channel I'm gonna put it on?

FLOYD: 99.

OK, no, I don't see that yet.

FLOYD: OK, what about now?

Can you see me waving?

No, I don't see-- oh, yeah, there you go.

You wave like a girl.

It went out again.

It went out again, Floyd.

FLOYD: All right.

Wait.

I know what to do.

Hold on.

[hammering]

[scream]

[thud]

I'm OK.

I'm all right.

Oh, there it is.

There it is.

Whatever you did, that's it.

Picture's perfect.

[cough]

Just like that.

Whoo.

Picture nice, ain't it. - Ain't that nice?

Mm.

Look, you can see the whole neighborhood, Floyd.

FLOYD: Clear too.

Yeah, that's the HD.

That is good. - What?

Wait, wait, wait.

What is going on, Curtis?

Look at that, baby.

Floyd just hooked up the security system

with the camera.

And now, you can see the whole neighborhood.

I can see trouble coming from a mile away.

Is that the Johnsons' house?

Yep.

Yep.

That's it.

Oh, and there's Mrs. Johnson, in her robe.

Curtis, Curtis, is that Mr. Johnson?

That's funny.

I didn't know Mr. Johnson was the mailman.

ALL: That is not Mr. Johnson.

Oh. Oh.

Cur--

And there goes the robe.

Curtis!

And there goes your security system.

Turn that off.

Turn it off, baby.

I'm gonna cut it out.

Yo, adjust this thing. You need to adjust--

Adjust it towards the church.

On my way.

Put it down. Put it down.

Turn that off.

Look at you.

Look at him.

Now I'm waiting to see what they gonna--

I'm gonna change it. I'm gonna adjust it now.

What is that?

I'm gonna put it on my favorites.

You want some cookies?

Cookies and milk?

Whoa.

What is our door doing open?

What is this?

What?

Eviction notice.

Wait.

The bank took possession of our condo.

But they didn't even call us back.

Come here. - Hey, who in the hell are you?

MIRANDA: Come here, it's OK.

Officer, I'm Calvin Payne.

I live here.

What's happening?

Come on, man, don't evict us.

Oh my goodness.

Get in.

Go.

Ow, I can't--

I cannot get this zipper.

Baby, let me help you with that.

I cannot believe that we are getting evicted.

Well, at least I got the Sheriff to sit outside while we

collected some of our stuff.

Baby, what are we gonna do?

We have children. - Miranda.

We don't have a home anymore.

Miranda, I told you.

We're gonna rent a truck.

We're gonna stay in a motel until we

get this thing figured out.

I have never been homeless before.

Ever!

We're not homeless!

Look babe, we're gonna figure this out, all right?

We're gonna have a roof over our head.

We're gonna have hot water, food to eat.

Look, we'll be back here soon.

I don't know if I can do this.

I don't know that I can do this, Calvin.

I do not want to leave here!

Calm down, calm down, OK?

Look, right now, we don't have a choice, babe.

We just gotta stick together.

OK?

I'm gonna work this out.

Now you go get the kids, and the sooner we can get our stuff

outta here, the better.

OK?

OK, OK.

[sigh]

What the heck is wrong with this thing?

[musical knock on door]

[grumble]

Where you been?

What?

Now get in here.

I've been trying to call you.

Well, my phone's turned off.

But it'll be back on tomorrow, though, for real.

That's the amazing thing about this carrier,

the minute you pay your bill, they turn

your phone on just like that.

[snap] Look it, I got something to tell you.

No, I got something to tell you, please.

The little security system ain't even working.

- Really? - It's all right.

I called the security people.

They sending somebody over.

[scream]

They what?

What's wrong with you?

What'd you do that for?

What do you mean "what'd I do that for"?

[door rattling] Watch out.

That's them right there. [knock on door]

No, no, no!

You cannot open this door.

You cannot open this door.

Floyd, what the hell is wrong with you?

He can't fix it, because the security system,

it isn't from his company.

Then who is it from?

Mm, not a legal company.

Wait a minute, are you telling me that having this system

and this camera is illegal?

Not Not "having" it is illegal, but using it is.

This is great.

This is just great.

Get the hell outta my way.

Um, hey.

[chuckle] Hey, uh, yeah, yeah.

This is Curtis Payne, yeah, I called.

But guess what?

I called the wrong company.

[chuckle] Yeah, and so, uh-- we not gonna need you.

So thank you.

I know you got other calls to make, so go on.

You good.

OK, bye bye.

You think they onto us, man?

ELLA: Curtis.

That security guy sound just like Ella.

Get that thing off the roof.

ELLA: Curtis, open this door.

OK, baby.

I'm fixing the lock.

Something-- something wrong with it.

You just had the door open.

I did.

When it closed, it just--

I don't know what is wrong with this thing.

Curtis, what is going on in here?

Oh, man.

So how was your day?

Everything good?

What is really going on, Curtis?

Baby, you know that security system that Floyd sold you?

Um, it turns out it's hotter than CJ's chili.

[chuckle]

Curtis, that security system is illegal?

Uh, apparently so.

You could say that, I guess you could say it like that.

But I'm getting him to take it down.

I told him to take it down right now.

[hammering]

Curtis, I just spoke with Calvin.

The kids are on their way over here.

I have these caps to give them, and he thought it would be

a better idea for them to come over here,

and I don't want that noise to scare these babies.

[SHOUTING] She said the babies are on their way,

and she got capped.

Look, I gotta go get some more tools.

The camera's stuck on roof, all right?

I'll be right back.

Go help him, Curtis.

You are the one who wanted this high tech security system.

OK.

Come on, bro. 'Cause, you know, stolen security cameras,

that'll get you 20 years.

Come on.

[slam]

Out!

[drilling]

Curtis Payne, baby, when will you all be finished?

Curtis, Curtis, Curtis.

Come on.

Curtis, Curtis, Curtis.

Ugh, that is so annoying.

Why are you yelling?

I'm right here.

Curtis.

What?

What's taking y'all so long?

Well, baby, we're almost finished.

It's just I had to come down.

You know I'm afraid of heights.

Curtis, you climbed 30-foot ladders for 32 years.

Huh?

Yeah, but I didn't have Floyd clinging onto my shirt,

yelling, don't let me down before I see "Wicked."

Knock knock.

Who-dee-who.

Hell, no, knock knock, that's not knocking.

Can you tell him saying "knock knock" is not knocking?

Aww, here come the big boys.

There's my babies.

Come on, baby. CURTIS: There's the big man.

Where you at? What you doing?

ELLA: Come on, come on.

CURTIS: What you doing?

- He's a big man. - Come here.

- He's a big man. - Come here.

No, I want him.

Hey, Ms. Ella.

Well, let me put them down for a nap, and we'll be right back.

Say hi. - What up, cutie?

Hey, Grandpa.

[smooch]

OK. - Hurry back.

Hurry back.

Here come Big Ma.

Let's go.

See you in a minute, baby.

Come on.

Choo pssh!

Hey, baby.

Look, Ma, we can't stay long.

We gotta get back to the house.

Oh, I like the sound of that.

Look, Calvin, I was hoping that you

guys would stay for dinner.

Well, since you insist.

We insist.

No, we didn't.

Yes, we did.

- No, we didn't. - Pssh.

Have you seen Calvin?

We're so glad you're here.

We were worried about you.

Worried about him?

For what?

Well, when we stopped by his place

and saw the foreclosure sign--

Foreclosure?

Who-- who has a foreclosure?

So I guess you didn't tell them.

No, CJ.

OK, what is going on?

We lost our house to the bank.

I didn't want to tell you guys.

I got it.

I'm working on it myself.

Oh, Calvin, please, please.

We know you working on it, but you're not

gonna work on it from a motel.

You just work on it from right here up under this roof.

No, Ma, y'all done too much for us already.

Calvin.

No, Dad!

Listen, I'm working on it myself.

You listen, listen.

You listen.

Ain't no son of mine gonna be staying

in no motel with his family.

Without at least a couple of dollars for some snacks.

Baby, you got a couple dollars?

Where your purse?

Curtis.

Baby.

Come on, baby.

I know.

Look, these are hard times, we know that.

Right.

And this is when you lean on your family, son.

It just seems like I can't get it together.

It's always something.

It's OK.

We're gonna pull together our resources,

and we're gonna make this work, right?

And that's it.

End of discussion.

Over.

I mean, with both of us working,

we're gonna get back on our feet in no time.

Of course you will.

And you got the babies.

The babies, they can sell candy or something,

lemonade, something.

[pat] So y'all put your stuff in storage

and just come live here.

Are you sure, Pop?

No.

Yes.

Of course I'm sure.

You just keep your head up.

Don't put your head down.

Don't feel bad.

'Cause when me and your mama get old, we coming

to live in y'all's house.

Yeah, I'm leaving all the lights on,

and I'm eating up all your food.

And I'm gonna put the air on, and I'll open up

all the windows and the doors.

OK, OK, we got it.

And then-- and I'm soaking the dishes.

If it's in the sink, soaking, leave it alone.

If I drink water, it's soaking.

Hey, Cizzo.

And I don't care if it's a glass of water, it's soaking.

Leave it in the sink.

OK, OK.

Got the camera off the roof.

[yelp]

Look like you got more roof than camera, Flizzoid.

Floyd, did you just tear up our roof?

No, I didn't.

The camera mount did.

It tore, like, a seven-inch hole in one of your tiles.

Cha-ching.

Camera's on me.

[sighing]

OK, if we double our credit card payments

and work out a deal with the bank, we'll be out of debt

in a couple months.

Plus, Mom said we can stay here rent-free.

OK, well, looks like we can afford daycare for the kids,

so that'll free me up to get some more clients.

I think we're gonna be OK.

I know it, baby.

[sigh]

So I guess this will be home for a while.

Wherever you and the kids are, that's home for me.

Oh, baby.
