- Okay, so then listen.

After the vow renewal, right, we are gonna release 40 doves,

one for every year you have been married.

- [laughter]

- Aw!

Sounds beautiful.

- Yes! - Sounds expensive.

- I mean, you only have one 40th anniversary.

- Curtis, aren't you excited about us renewing

our wedding vows?

- Yes, baby, I am.

You know, it's like they say, why buy the cow

when you getting the milk for free?

- Maybe you just want steaks.

- You as dumb as a box of hair.

- Curtis. - Not today, Mr. Payne.

- She the one interrupting, baby.

I'm trying to make a point.

Okay, and my point is, it's just a lotta money, okay?

Especially considering the fact that we are already married.

Okay, you guys are asking me to buy a cow 40 years later

for more money. What kinda sense does that make?

- Okay, Curtis, do you really wanna start your day off

by comparing your wife to a cow?

- To her face.

- Baby, I understand how that can sound a

certain kind of way. - [Ella laughs]

- You know I don't mean it like that.

- Hm.

- Okay, I'm just saying, an ice sculpture of me and you

holding hands is wasteful.

Okay, and don't the Bible say stuff about being wasteful?

What the Bible say about that?

Huh? 'Cause I know I read some

one day in Proverbs [laughs] uh, 21:20.

A wise man saveth and a foolish man spendith it up.

- Miranda, grab your coat.

Hell must be freezing over. Curtis Payne is

half quoting scripture.

- I know I read something like that.

- Curtis, when? When, baby?

- Think about it, Ella.

You really gonna release doves?

- It sounds beautiful. Yes.

- Ella, it sounds cruel.

Who the hell kidnapped the birds in the first place, huh?

And when you release 'em, how you gonna,

where they going? Huh?

How they even know how to get home?

The poor birds don't even know how to get home.

- They do. They do go home. They fly home.

- What, they got GPS, Miranda? Break it down for me.

- Look, look, look. Right here, mm-hmm,

I have the paperwork. It says that once the birds

are released that they fly back home.

- Oh, okay. I guess they're smart birds.

- Would you like to find anything else wrong

with our special day?

- No, sweetheart. Of course not.

Matter of fact, I can't wait to marry you a third time.

- Aw. - On our 50th anniversary.

- Aw.

- Aw, baby. Thank you.

- Spare no expense on our wedding remix.

- Really? - Thank you.

Thank you for coming around, Curtis,

Thank you for coming around.

- Bam. So listen.

So since I have some more budget, I was thinking we

should do butterflies. I saw this...what?

Thank yo...

- You budget's $500.

- But you just said. - Don't worry about what I said.

Miranda, listen to what I'm saying.

- But...what...$500? $500 won't even pay

for one dove. - But...ta.. ta...

- The doves. - Yes, the doves. Oh!

Beautiful.

- So, how do the birds know how to find their way home?

- I don't know. They just do.

That is the least important part of this whole thing.

You know, why is everyone so concerned about these birds?

- My apologies. And, um, when do I sing?

- Excuse me? - Excuse me?

- My song, dear. When do I sing?

- When was there a song?

- Since I decided to bless the lovely couple

with my vocal talents. It's my gift to them.

- Oh, Glo, that's not necessary.

- No, I insist. - It's not.

- No, really. I'll sing a spiritual.

This is a joyous and wondrous occasion

And I can also do a little dance number.

- So now there's dancing?

- Of course. Who plans to renew their vows

and not have a dance floor?

- I did. Me. There's no dancing.

This is a small, a quaint ceremony, right?

- Yes.

- There is nothing small about being in love for 40 years.

What does it take to impress you young people?

For Ella to create a Tocky Tik dance video?

- Woo, Uncle Curtis, you got those steaks smelling good!

- Mm-hmm!

- How much longer before we eat?

- Well, I don't know about we, but I been taste testing

ever since this morning, if you heard me.

- You know, it is so romantic watching you and mom

renew your vows. - Mm-hmm.

- It kinda reminds me of when me and Miranda got married.

She was so beautiful.

She kept messing up her makeup 'cause she couldn't stop crying.

- And now you get to do it all over again with Laura.

- Who?

- Laura. Your fiance.

- Oh, yeah, right, right. I'm sure our wedding

will be way better.

- You talking about Laurell?

Hey, babe.

- Oh, and...and by the way, Laura is so upset

she couldn't be here. She had to leave town for work.

- Aw, that's okay.

Baby, listen.

You have got this neighborhood

smelling good. - It's stankin' ain't it?

- Curtis, you know it's not stankin'.

- It's stankin' good, girl! - It smells good!

Oh!

- Hey, you know that was a good idea since you said

we could save money by doing our own catering.

- See?

- So I took advantage of it. We gonna have barbecue tonight,

and all the food for tomorrow is almost done.

- Yes, yes, yes. Oh, Calvin, did you get my cake?

- Yeah, I got it earlier today.

- And my receipt and change?

- Well, I don't' get a tip for running the errand?

- Look, if you want a tip, you shoulda been a stripper!

Give your mama her change!

- Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Always hustling.

- And my change and my receipt.

Baby, this...this receipt is for an old bundt cake.

Calvin, what happened to the cake I told you to get?

- Well, Miranda said it wasn't in the budget.

- The budget?

- Well, yeah. She said we only have $500

and we need to spread it the best she could.

- $500. Man, that's cheap.

- Shut up, Malik.

- Well, yeah, that's why we're toasting with juice boxes

instead of champagne.

- Juice boxes? What is this?

- What has gotten into her?

I mean, who could change what I told her to get

when I was asking...

- Would y'all shut up? Just be quiet.

- Curtis!

Curtis.

Curtis, you went behind my back and put our wedding on a budget.

- Well, see,

a wedding renewal is not actually a wedding.

There's a difference.

- That's what I told her. That's what I said.

- The only difference is what Curtis lied about.

- Okay, baby. Let me explain.

- Okay.

- Well, I ain't expect you to let me talk. [laughs]

She don't never let me talk, really.

I didn't plan nothing to say.

- 'Cause there isn't anything to say.

You told me one thing to my face

and then you said a whole 'nother thing behind my back.

The why does not matter.

Hey, all of this is your idea, Curtis.

You in here. You went down on one knee,

I just want you to marry me again.

You couldn't even get up!

All of this, Curtis, is because of you.

And for what?

- Come on, baby. Don't be like that.

- Like what, Curtis? A wife who's married

to a man who hides everything for 40 years?

How should I be?

- Auntie Ella, I really don't think it's fair that you

keep asking Uncle Curtis questions

he clearly doesn't have the answer to.

- Thank you. - Yeah, you know what?

When that preacher gets here tomorrow and asks me

do I take you to be my husband again,

honestly, I don't know what I'm gonna say.

- Oh, baby, come on. Don't be so dramatic

- Oh, there you go. 40 years.

You still telling me how I need to feel. [laughs]

What would I do without you, Curtis?

- I'm sorry, baby.

- I know.

You're always sorry about something.

- I'm...I'm really sorry we couldn't hire that pastor.

- Then who's gonna renew your vows?

- Glo.

She free.

- Auntie Ella's gonna love that one.

- Well, you really outdid yourself with this one, Pops.

- Shut up, Calvin.

- ♪

- Whew, I am so excited, Ella! I just love weddings.

They are so... - Whatever, Glo.

I don't care about this anymore.

- Wait, what do you mean? You have to care.

- If I did, Miranda, I would be the only one.

- Is everything okay?

- It's fine. Like it's always fine.

- That looks like Curtis did something.

For better or worse ain't no joke.

- Who you telling?

- [laughs] I gotta tell y'all this.

I am not feeling any of this.

Done.

Ha! Release the birds!

- You don't think Aunt Ella would say no tomorrow, do you?

- Well, they're already married.

Would it be that big of a deal if she did?

- Well, you're not the one that's gotta stand there

and be rejected. If she says no tomorrow,

I'm, I'ma be crushed.

- And you be a bastard.

- No, that's not how it works.

- Calvin, please. I don't see how

what I did was wrong. Huh?

I'm trying to save us money.

- If you didn't do anything wrong, then why didn't

you just tell Aunt Ella?

- Because lying is easier.

That shouldn't be so hard to understand

- Mr. Payne, what did you do?

- [sighs] Okay, well, if you must know,

Ella got a little salty. - Mm-hmm.

- She found out about the $500 limit.

- Oh, that $500 limit that you gave me behind her back?

- You know what? Miranda, I'm so sick

of your negativity.

If you wanna help, then you help.

But if you gonna be around here just pointing out the obvious,

then go kick rocks.

- Mr. Payne, how can I help?

- Thank you.

Just smooth Ella out a little bit. Okay, she's talking about

saying no at the ceremony tomorrow

- Pops, she's not gonna say no.

- Hm. - I don't think.

- Well, I'm not taking any chances.

- Okay.

So Mr. Payne, if I can guarantee that Ms. Ella

says yes tomorrow, will you stop worrying about the money

and enjoy the wedding?

- I will. Promise, cross my heart,

hope somebody bad dies.

- Another credit card, please?

- Doesn't he make marriage look great?

And you get to do it all over again.

Are you ready for your second big day?

- I guess. I guess.

- Ms. Ella. Now I know that Mr. Payne has

a funny way of showing it, but he loves you.

What I know is that he is utterly and completely

in love with you.

- Miranda, I love him. But he sure does have

a hard time showing it sometimes.

- [laughs] [sighs] Well, Calvin definitely has it, honestly.

- Mm-hmm.

- But I absolutely, I wish that I had your resilience.

I admire that.

You have to say yes to Mr. Payne.

Now, you know if you don't you will kill that man.

- Well, you all should have dressed for a funeral.

Go ahead. I'm ready.

- Ready?

- No, I'm gonna sit and take a breath,

put on my shoes... - MIRANDA: Okay
