Morning, babe.

Morning, baby.

Oh!

Breakfast is just about ready.

How'd you sleep?

Well, other than you snoring and waking

me up every 20 minutes, great.

Hey, I don't snore.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

That was you.

You sounded like a broke truck.

[grunting]

Yeah, well, I must have been really tired.

Nothing says good morning like--

Eggs.

The hell?

There you go.

Are these egg nuggets?

Ha ha.

OK, yeah, they're a little over cooked,

but I just hope they're OK.

Well, I mean, you know, as a husband, I say pretty cool.

But as fire commissioner, we're going

to have to write you a ticket.

I've been a little bit stressed, OK?

There's a new temp coming into the office today

and the last two have been terrible.

Yeah, I know.

But I think you're going like next one.

You said that about the last one.

She wasn't that bad.

Baby, she was stealing office supplies.

Well, you still don't know that.

I caught her dragging our copy machine down Piedmont.

Well, I think you're gonna like this next one,

because I hand picked her myself.

So are the twins still asleep?

Like they worked the night shift at Waffle Shack.

You want me to wake them up?

No, no, no. I got it, I got it.

Sit and eat your breakfast.

I got the kids. - OK.

Fire commissioner, you.

JANINE: The twins are still asleep.

OK, that's good.

Whew!

Stuff.

Oh, man.

Wow, you must have really been hungry.

See, they weren't that bad.

Man, I ate those too fast.

I've got a little indigestion.

Yeah, OK, so you can get the kids to the sitter?

Yeah, I can do that.

Uh, See you at the office.

Uh-huh.

Now I can stop and get me something to eat.

Babe, really?

I cook, I clean.

Really?

I see these eggs you tossed in the trash.

[CJ] -I tossed them with love.

[music playing]

Hey, Summer, where are you?

Look, we have to sign the apartment lease later today,

so please give me a call back, all right?

It's your husband, Malik.

I still can't believe you're married and moving

in with Summer.

Yeah, well, we all have to grow up some time, right?

Well, at least some us do.

Yeah, look, look.

There go the girl I was telling you about.

Oh, the one you claim likes you?

Don't be hatin' 'cause she want all of this.

Yeah, OK.

Look, when she walk by again, I'm gonna make my move.

Oh, there you are.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

I was meditating in the student garden.

Wait, I didn't know there was a student garden.

Yeah, it's right next to the library.

There's a library?

Remind me to get a new friend.

So look, we move into our apartment later today.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Yeah, I'm excited to have our first dinner in our own place.

Yep, nothing says love like eating two frozen dinners off

of a card table, watching the one tiny channel that

Malik has on his 13-inch TV.

Isn't there an exam somewhere you should be failing?

Maybe Milo's right.

Look, I don't understand.

I feel like maybe we should keep looking for a better place

or wait until something better comes along.

I thought you were excited about us moving in together.

What's going on?

You know what, nothing.

Nothing.

I was just thinking that maybe it

wouldn't hurt to wait and look for a better place, but--

But I thought, we--

Look, actually, I can't talk about this right now.

I really need to get to class.

OK, well, I'll see you later?

Yeah, I'll call you.

Wow, I'll call you.

That was kind of hard to watch.

What are you talking about?

Look, all right, obviously, Summer

is having second thoughts.

We're fine, all right?

All right, all right.

I just-- I don't want to have to say I told you so.

Look, look, I know women, all right?

I know what women want.

Look, here come old girl with her friends.

Watch how I handle this.

Uh--

Hello, ladies.

Hello to you.

[girls laughing]

Yeah, I know what women want too, and it ain't you.

She's warming up to me, that's all.

[music playing]

[phone ringing]

Yes, yes, please.

OK, sir, can you please hold?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hello, fire commissioner's office, may I help you?

[phone ringing]

Sir, that is a police matter.

Who set your wife's car on fire?

Your girlfr-- your girlfriend.

OK, sir, you don't need us, you need an alibi.

Just stop, just for a second.

I just need a moment of peace.

Ah, just peace.

Mm-hmm.

Sir, good morning.

Good morning. - Mrs. Payne--

Hi.

Your temp has arrived, and one time, I might add.

Perfect timing!

The phones have been ringing off the hook.

I've still got somebody on hold.

Oh, well, Mrs. Payne, may I present Mrs. Payne.

Miranda!

You're my temp?

I really hope it's OK.

No, it's fine.

I just didn't know you were even an option.

Well, I figured since her and Calvin, you know,

were trying to get back on their feet

that this would help them put some money in their pocket.

CJ, you have no idea.

Thank you both so much for giving me this opportunity.

And I just want to help, that's all I want to do.

Oh.

Well, why don't you help by going and grabbing

a cup of coffee while I get the files

we're going to get started on.

Well actually, I got here earlier

and I already have a pot brewing.

Like I said, things are working already.

Well, I've got a meeting to get to,

so I'm going to let you girls go ahead and do what you do.

Bye.

I am so excited.

Oh, my gosh!

This should be so much fun working together.

I know, the last few times were terrible,

so this can't do anything but get better.

Oh, OK, professional.

Let me show you how to enter the data into our program.

OK.

OK, forewarning, our program runs very slow,

so you have to enter everything line by line.

I'm familiar with this program.

We had this at the real estate office.

You can actually do multiple entries.

May I?

Please, please, enlighten me.

All you have to do is go right there

and you click to multiple, right like that.

Then you're going to widen this margin right here.

And voila, multiple lines.

You have five lines at a time.

That was good.

That was good.

Thank you.

I think I can do this.

Enter.

Oh, you're just going to keep going, cool.

Well, I guess I will go an get a cup of coffee

while you finish that.

And finish this phone call, please.

Oh, OK, wait.

Can you get me a cup of coffee too, please?

Sure, sure.

Oh, wait.

Can you put that-- you know how you do

that little sweet syrupy stuff.

It's so good.

Can I have some of that too?

My-- so my stuff.

Yeah, I'll share my stuff with you.

Oh, oh, and a cheesy Danish.

Could we share that?

I don't do dairy.

Oh, no worries.

I'll just eat the whole thing.

It's OK.

[music playing]

Man, where have you been?

I've been looking for you since lunch.

I've been looking for Summer.

Did she ever come into the cafeteria?

No, not while I was there.

Did you check her door?

Yeah, I did and she wasn't there.

Something's up.

Oh, hey.

Where have you been?

You missed lunch.

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry.

I was meditating in the student garden.

There's a student--

Don't say a word.

I'll be uh, over there, pretending

like I ain't trying to listen.

So, what's going on, Summer?

You missed the apartment signing,

and then you don't even show up for lunch?

Look, I'm not sure I can do this.

Do what?

Look, I said that I would find another place.

But don't--

I mean this, us.

What are you talking about, Summer?

Sorry.

I want a divorce.

[audience moans]

[music playing]

She said she wanted a divorce.

Are you serious?

Does it look like I'm joking to you?

Look, Malik, I'm sorry.

Are you, or are you just saying that?

What are you talking about?

You said that this was coming.

Did you say something to her?

Whoa, bro. All right, look.

Calm down.

I just [inhales and exhales].

You're right.

Look, I just-- I just don't understand.

One minute we're moving in together

and now she says she wants a divorce.

Look, maybe this is a blessing in disguise, all right?

How is me losing my wife a blessing?

Look, Malik, I like Summer, OK?

I think she's a cool girl.

But we are freshman in college, all right?

Look, we should be out living it up, not tied down to one woman.

I've never met a woman like that before.

How would you know?

OK, how many times have you been in love?

All I know is I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

Do you know how long the rest of your life is?

My parents have been together ever since I can remember.

And they're happy.

I just want what they have.

And when the time is right, you will.

You know what, maybe she just needs a little time and space,

and she'll-- she'll turn around.

And if that's what you really want, I hope you're right.

Yeah.

You know, Summer loves me and I love her.

We'll be OK. - Right.

But you know, in the meantime you

can't listen to music, right?

Why?

Because every song will remind you of her.

The ice cream truck will destroy you.

Look, if you hear Mr. Softy's music, run, all right?

Come on, let's go to class.

Whoa, She must have upset me too.

I can't believe I said that.

[music playing]

Did you look in the shredder?

Why would I put that file in the shredder?

Same reason you tried to put a bagel in the fax machine.

I was distracted, OK?

I don't get it. where could it be?

Where could it be?

This is insane.

Hey.

Hi.

Oh, what are you guys looking for?

Janine-- we misplaced the city inspection file.

Oh, no.

I put it in the pending inspection folder.

We normally keep it under the city folder.

Well, yeah.

I figured since it was still pending that it made more

sense to create its own file.

So here you go.

That's a great idea.

Thank you.

Good, because I was hoping that you didn't think I

was overstepping my bounds.

Well, actually, you know--

Well, actually no, because our filing system

needed some updating anyway.

Whoo, you can say that again.

I did our filing system.

And it is a good one.

Oh, um, excuse me.

I have that zone one report.

Oh, you finished that already?

Yep.

And when I was reviewing some of the numbers,

I did find some discrepancies.

So it looks like we saved $4,200 instead of $2,200.

Now, I'm impressed.

That is great.

MIRANDA: Thank you.

Um, I was actually about to grab some lunch.

You guys want anything?

No thanks, we got our own lunch, thanks.

OK.

Oh, but wait, wait, wait, wait.

I just have to say thank you so much for giving me this job.

You're welcome.

And you know what, go ahead to lunch.

Really?

Yeah, go ahead.

And hey, take an extra half hour.

You're family.

I love you guys.

CJ: She's great.

We love you too.

CJ: She is working hard.

She got to go.

Why?

Why?

[HIGH-PITCHED VOICE] I changed the files.

I saved us money.

That's so unprofessional!

That's unprofessional.

What are you talking about?

She's a good employee.

She comes to work early, she leaves late, she's motivated.

Yeah, that's great if you like that sort of thing.

Pending file.

Are you jealous of Miranda?

Ha, please, OK?

Please.

She is just too much sometimes.

Always nice, always wanting to help.

What the hell is that?

Teamwork?

[phone ringing]

OK this-- this has to be moved back

to where I had it originally.

Miranda's getting on my nerves.

She has got to go.

Yes.

You sent me a text?

Yes, I sure did.

I wasn't sure if she was really leaving,

so I had to make sure you knew exactly

how I felt at that moment.

Oh, it felt good to get that out.

Did you take a good look at this text?

No, why?

Did I misspell some words?

No.

But you also sent it to Miranda.

- No. - Yes, you did.

No, I didn't

Yes, you did.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[music playing]

[gasping] What's up, Malik?

I came as soon as you called, what's up?

Summer called and we're supposed

to be meeting here in a minute.

Man, what, it's been like four days?

What do you think she wants?

Well, she probably wants to get back together.

Man, I hope so, because I can't stand

to watch you weeping to Brian McKnight's

"One Last Cry" another day.

I wasn't crying, all right?

I have allergies.

Yeah, yeah, and I was studying in the library.

Hey, you.

Hi.

All right, I'm gonna let you two talk.

I'ma go ahead and take a shower.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't-- don't act like that.

He's a trip, right?

Yeah, yes he is.

How you doing?

Well, four days ago my wife told me that she wants

a divorce, so not that good.

Yes, about that.

Yeah.

We can't get a divorce.

Exactly, because we're meant to be together.

So I'm glad that you finally came to your senses.

Malik, we can't get a divorce because we haven't

been married long enough.

That's why I filed for an annulment.

You just have to sign here.

Summer why are you do doing this?

Because I love you.

What does that even mean?

That means that you've been willing to do everything

that I've wanted to do--

travel the world, do missionary work, everything.

OK, and what's wrong with that?

It's not what you want to do.

Malik, a marriage isn't built on just one person's dreams.

You have to find your journey, just like I've found mine.

Yeah, and what's your journey?

I'm transferring to a university in England

to complete my education there.

And when did you decide this?

The university you just offered me a job once I

complete my studies, so, yeah.

So you're just going to leave?

Malik, this isn't easy for me.

Yeah, well I can't tell.

OK, don't act like this.

Act like what?

You come here and tell me you're moving to England.

How am I suppose to act?

Look, you are an incredible guy.

And you are going to make some woman very happy.

I'm just not that woman.

So I guess this is goodbye.

I guess so.

Malik.

I'm s--

Yeah, I know.

Me too.

[music playing]

We really feel you are an asset to the--

Here's the file you asked for.

Hey, hey.

How was lunch? - Fine.

Hey, where you going?

Where you going?

Back to my little cubicle.

No, just come here.

Let's chat for a second, OK?

Right here, sit down, please.

So how is everything?

Fine.

Fine, that's good.

Hey, did you get that file?

No, I did not.

But Miranda did.

Miranda did it.

She is amazing.

She's a keeper, CJ.

I know.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Oh.

We've had a couple of bad temps, you know, so you coming in here

and doing all that you've been doing

has been a breath of fresh air.

I cannot even tell you.

I got your text, Janine.

I know.

And I believe it was meant for CJ,

and it said, um, Miranda is getting on my nerves

and she's got to go.

Go get coffee.

I didn't get to finish the text.

Don't try to play it off.

It was right there.

Miranda, I didn't say anything.

I think today is going to be my last day.

No, Miranda, no.

Janine, fix this.

Yeah, um, listen.

Miranda, I'm sorry, OK?

And maybe CJ was right.

About what?

I admit, since you've been working here

I've been a bit envious.

Why?

The filing system, the quick report turnover.

I'm always the one who gets the kudos.

I'm sorry, it was me.

Sometimes I do try too hard.

And I must say that I have been pushing

to make a good impression, so I'm sorry too.

How about this?

I will stop hating, you stop trying so hard, deal?

Deal.

OK.

Whoo, because getting here early and staying late

has been killing me.

I know.

Oh, Lord, these heels.

Good, I'm glad that's settled.

Now, can somebody make some coffee?

Go make it yourself.

What?

Ooh, gonna put my shoes back on.

I just got caught up.

I'm glad, right.

Because I can call the temp agency and get two new temps.

We're good, boss.

You're gonna be in a cubicle with me.
