Russell sent you flowers again?

Yes, he sent these yesterday.

Cora, he must work at a funeral home.

He does not work at a funeral home. That's the only way you can get flowers

every day. He stole them off old man Jenkins' casket. I know that. I've seen

them flowers at his funeral. That is not true. He sends me something after every

date. Well, what you giving him on these dates?

Listen, you got to be doing something. You kissing?

There's nothing wrong with kissing.

Cora, next thing you know, pregnant.

You went on a date yesterday. What did he get you today?

Get the door.

I'm coming. Stop ringing that doorbell like that.

Chloe's a rat. Get the trap.

Oh, my dear. I want you near.

Please say you'll be my boo.

I think you're neat. I think you're sweet. I'm really nuts for you.

Love, Russell.

Chloe. Why Russell want me to be his boo?

Because he on the down low. I knew it was up to him. He on the down low. Yes,

is. I think the squirrel is for me, Mr. Brown.

Are you Cora Simmons?

Yes, I am.

Well, I can't sing the song again. I'm all out of nuts.

Well, that's okay. Thank you so much.

If you a boy squirrel and you ain't got no nuts, I need peanuts.

Hey, it's customary to tip the squirrel.

Oh, yes. No, no, no, Cora. I got it.

You want a tip?

Okay, I got a tip for you. Next time you come, bring more of these nuts.

Raccoons.

Carl, you idiot. You look like a raccoon.

Oh, Russell.

He's so original.

He just keeps doing things to surprise me.

Oh. Carl.

Carl.

Carl! Yeah!

Stop dream dead.

Daydreaming. Daydreaming, whatever. It's the same.

You don't know him like that. Cora, you so glull of a... Ooh, I just... Ooh, you

slow. Come here.

Cora, I got to teach you about the birds and the bees. Did I ever tell you? Yes,

I know about the birds and the bees. No, that was the snake and the other stuff.

This... Cora, you gonna teach... Back up and on my lap. Go slow, Cora. Wait,

don't... Whoa. Whoa.

Back up slow.

Go, Cora.

You can't just bounce like that, girl.

Look, look.

You done made my leg, Miss Carver.

It's okay.

Carver, you got to watch him.

What? Watch who?

Because he'll try to take your money. Who?

Russell. Mr. Brown, I don't have any money.

What? Girl, look around, Carver.

All of this.

Have you ever seen one of these?

No. This is an antique. This is vintage.

Vintage. Vintage? Yes.

And when I die, you're going to inherit all of this.

Didn't somebody tell you that it's bad luck to walk around the house with a

ladder?

I think that's walking under a ladder, Mr. Brown.

I've got to go to the front yard. Apparently the neighbor's dog chased a

squirrel up our tree.

Be careful, he ain't got no nuts.

call Russell and thank him? No.

There is a two -day waiting period.

Cary Grant is still waiting for my call.

You listen to this. Grant is still waiting for your call.

I don't care about that. What's in his basket?

Miss Edna, we've only been on a few dates. What are you waiting for? I check

what's in a man's basket in the first few hours.

Russell is not that kind of guy.

He's dating me the old -fashioned way. He's taking it slow.

You see, that's why I don't date old guys with old names like Walter and

Give me a Hakeem or a Deontay with some Tims on.

Snow can be sweet.

I remember taking a canoe ride with Marlon.

That was sweet.

But he kept calling me Stella.

Last time somebody called me Stella, I was there getting my groove back.

Nothing, just women talk.

You're a tough guy.

When I walk in the room and four ladies laughing, there's something wrong.

Something is up. We should be used to it.

Mr. Brown, we're just talking about Cora's new boyfriend.

Yes. Russell.

Oh, that's Russell. I get to do it? No, no, no. No, you will not act desperate.

Brown.

Yes, you do.

Russell,

I'm glad you're here because it's too much testosterone in here.

You're glad I'm here?

Yeah, yeah.

Hi, Russell.

Hello, ladies.

Hello, Russell.

Looking good there, Miss Betty.

Thank you for the squirrel gram. You are very welcome.

But next time, I'm going to get in the suit and come and deliver it myself.

I love a freak.

Would you like to get a bite to eat? No, ain't nobody biting nothing.

Yes, I will.

Let me get my purse. Honey, you won't be needing that.

Oh, okay.

Bye, Russell.

Bye.

Bye, Russell.

Thank you, Miss Edna.

Excuse us.

Did you see him look at me?

No.

Don't hate.

You know what? I'm glad he at least a nice young man. Yeah, well, you better

used to it because she's going to be gone out that door in a while.

I'd better start planning the wedding shower.

I'll be the bachelorette party planner. I still got some stripper numbers.

And I can hire the wedding planner.

Ain't nobody hired nothing, because Carla ain't getting married. They just

and y 'all trying to get her married.

Oh.

Colonel, you okay?

What's wrong?

Take this away from me.

What's the matter?

I don't drink no more. I don't drink either, Colonel.

I just saw a giant rat in a tree outside my window.

I can't see Russell.

They're on the bench, but shouldn't they be closer together?

She's playing hard to get, just like Jack Lemmon in Some Like It Hot.

This is so boring.

They're just talking.

Why is everybody... and looking out the window? They're watching Cora and

Russell sparking on the porch. Watch them peeping, Tomasinos.

Oh, you ought to be shaming us. Move out of the window. Move, move, move.

Watch them peep. Y 'all... Let me see.

Why y 'all let that man touch my daughter? Cora!

They're only holding hands.

Well, ten bucks says he kisses her.

Oh...

That's a player move, Colonel.

First you put the hand on the neck, and then you move it down around to... Edna!

Ew.

Sorry, I just went to heaven for a little while.

All right, nobody kissing nothing on Coral Coral, just resting her head on

shoulder. Oh, wake up and smell the coffee, Brown, before you know it, those

will be flying up Acapulco, and you'll be left here to rot like the rest of us.

Have a nice night.

You won? Oh, you lose.

I'm hungry anyway.

Come on, loser.

Come on.

Fix you guys something to eat. Are you kidding? You couldn't even fix his bike

yesterday.

Hey, everyone.

Wow.

That's a nice dress.

It was terrible.

Good. You want to go on a better one?

Maybe.

Oh, anyway, guys, I came at some great news.

Do you two remember Mr. and Mrs. Turner?

They had that dog named... King.

Yeah, they were the best foster parents we've ever had.

What? No.

Well, they've just moved into a huge new house with a pool, a game room, a big

backyard.

And the best part is, they want to adopt you.

Wow.

This is so awesome. Our last name's going to be Turner.

Come on, let's go tell everybody.

Isn't it great news?

Wow, yeah, the kids are really excited. And we are too, right?

Yeah, no, it's too sudden.

But, Pasha, you knew it would only be temporary.

Oh, maybe I wanted it to be permanent.

Hey, man, what are you talking about? Are you serious?

See, I'm going to let you two talk, okay? Okay.

I'll be back tomorrow. Okay, bye -bye. All right, yeah.

Hey, what are you talking about? I thought you didn't want to adopt.

Okay, well, I didn't until I got to know them.

Well, it was starting to feel like we were a real family.

Well, sweetheart, they have a family, the Turner.

I mean, look how excited they were, but I don't think there's anything we can

do. So what, that's it?

You just want to let them leave?

I don't think we have any choice.

Well, honey, I think we do.

Look, I am not ready to let them go.

So what do you want to do?

I don't know.

Whatever it takes.

I think you just took me to that movie so I could just hold on to you. Yeah,

it worked, didn't it?

Hey.

Boo.

Now come hold on to me.

Hey!

I thought I seen you two out here.

What is it? I can't believe you got my daughter out here in this coat.

It's not cold. Put this on, Cora. It's not cold.

It is cold. It is not cold. Yes, it is.

It is not.

Well, maybe Russell cold. Here.

No, I was fine, Mr. Brown.

Oh.

What y 'all talking about?

Nothing. Just talking.

Well, go on if you ain't talking about nothing.

We don't have to talk. We can... You can... What?

What was you about to do before I walked up?

Because your mouth was open like a fish.

And you were standing here looking at her. What y 'all about to do? Well, we

were just talking.

Well, how you gonna talk with your mouth open and ain't nothing happening? Well,

it was about to come out.

It was about to come out.

So where y 'all going?

To the movie.

What y 'all see?

Uh, Bride in Love. Yes, Bride in Love.

Bride in Love. What y 'all eat at the movie?

I had popcorn. I had two hot dogs. How many hot dogs you had, Cora? I didn't

none.

You a liar.

Just a lie, because Cora always eating hot dogs, so I know you were lying.

Don't worry about that.

You like her?

Yes, she's nice. You like him?

Yeah.

Cora, go in the house and get me something to drink. I need to talk to

Russell, would you like something to drink?

Yes, baby. Thank you. All right, change your baby.

Cora, full grown if you can't see. I can see that.

Now, you.

What's your intentions for my daughter?

I don't know.

You've been a liar.

I don't know, sir. We just met.

Look, if you and Carter get married, you're going to carry her over the

threshold?

Yeah. You can carry Carter over the threshold. Are you that strong?

If you carry me, you can carry Carter.

You can't carry me over the threshold.

How do you figure you're going to carry Carter?

What are you trying to do with my daughter?

We're going to figure out something.

Are you trying to get my daughter pregnant?

You plotting on me? Mr. Brown? You better not be trying to get her pregnant

because Cora is practicing absence.

Absence?

You got a problem with the way I talk? No, sir. I didn't know what you meant by

absence.

You think you know everything, don't you?

You think you got a lawyer brain where you can just come in and try to tell

everybody what they're trying to talk. You try to tell me what I'm talking

about. I'm not a lawyer.

You think you know everything. You got the answer for everything, don't you?

Listen, see if you know this.

If Craig... Meg and Nim had ten apples, and he gave Susan May five apples, and

Craig stopped by Jerome's house with Greg.

Don't ask me no questions.

Hold up. Don't call, Corbett. You scared? Can you fight?

Because you want to fight. We're going to jump you in.

I'm calling Medea, Corbett's mama, and I'm going to make her jump you in.

going to get jumped into this family. You don't just get married. You get

in. Medea is Corbett's mother. You heard of Medea?

Yeah. Medea whooped everybody on my block.

And we stayed on the toughest block.

Cora, come here and tell them about your mama.

What's going on out here? I hear all this shouting. What's going on? Cora, he

hit your daddy.

He hit me.

Look, he just hit me again.

You hit my soul. Baby, I didn't. I didn't. Cora, my arms. Look, he didn't.

Mr. Burns. Cora, he didn't hurt your daddy. Cora, are you all right?

Cora, he didn't hurt your daddy. Okay, calm down. Just calm down.

Now, what's going on? Here.

Thank you, baby.

Here you go. Here. Now tell me, what is it? Carver, I'll tell you what's going

on. You're going to marry him. You're going to move to Alabama. Y 'all going

have a whole bunch of kids. Y 'all going to move to the double Y. And y 'all

going to call it a condominium.

Whoa, whoa. I'm not talking to you.

I said I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to you, Carver.

You's different.

Mr. Brown, please.

What?

Tell me, what's going on?

This right here is not the man for you.

Cora, please.

What is this about?

Cora, you ain't going to come back to see your daddy.

Is this what this is all about? You think you're going to lose me?

Mr. Brown.

Yeah? You're my dad. I love you. And I'll always be here for you.

We'll always be your daddy.

Yes.

You'll always be my dad, okay?

But I think you owe Russell an apology, okay?

Okay, Cora. Cora, you're going to have to.

along so well.

I just talked to him about getting you an engagement ring.

There you go. Goodbye.

You always mess up everything.

Ah, Carver, stop crying. I'll bake you something.

I heard the Turners are wonderful, but I'm really going to miss you guys.

I'm going to miss you, too.

Well, hey, Ms. Martinez said you guys can come and visit.

Anytime you want.

But it's not the same.

Oh, that's Ms. Martinez.

Okay, I'll get the door.

Y 'all take your time.

What's going on, you guys? I don't understand. You seemed so much more

yesterday.

We don't want to go.

Okay, well, what changed your mind?

We're tired of people telling us where to live. We want to stay with you. Yeah.

Why can't you guys be our parents?

Well, uh, that's a complicated process.

Well, we thought you wanted to stay with the Turners.

We did, but we like it here better.

Yeah. Let's go tell Miss Martinez we don't want to go.

Okay, well, I don't think it's that simple, but we can try.

Okay, guys.

Time to go?

Miss Martinez? Quiet, son. There's something we must do before you go.

Brianne?

Jacquin? Front center.

My name's Joaquin.

I want to give you something to remember me by.

This is a picture of a great American soldier.

Hey!

Um, Brianna, I want you to be comfortable with your new family, so I'm

No. Bam.

Titty.

Okay.

So, if you guys ever get in a jam and you need some money, just use this.

There's no place like home.

There's no place like home.

The Wicked Witch is coming! The Wicked Witch is coming!

Hey, little man.

Learn how to work with your hand.

And always be strong.

There you go.

Give that shoe to your sister.

Miss Martinez, we don't want to go.

Oh, sweetheart, we have to go. The Turners are waiting for you.

Do we have a say in this?

The Turners are waiting, Brianna.

Hey, um, hey, kids.

It's going to be okay, all right? Come on.

Go ahead with Miss Martinez, all right?

Okay. You going to be good?

Huh?
