Original subtitles

Are you ready to go?

Uh, just about.

Maybe I was talking to Joaquin.

Just like a very cute face.

Whoa, wait a minute. I'm not cute?

Baby, no one over 21 is cute.

You just then.

You told me you were 21.

And I will always be.

Come on, man.

Let's get out of here. Brianna's in the car. We got to go. We don't want to be

late. Oh, wow.

Whoa, whoa. Look at you, Cor. What you trying to do? Get a raise?

What is it?

Is it too tight?

Does it make me look fat?

You know what? As a man, I only have one thing to say.

What? What is that?

Ask Sasha.

Cor, you look gorgeous.

Thank you. Thank you. OK, now let me see that walk. Oh, bam, bam, bam.

Enough to need a new wardrobe.

Oh, I know what you up to. What? You trying to impress that cute new

Girl, Gordon and I are just friends.

Friends with benefits?

Benefits? Yeah, I'm sure he has a good insurance policy. He is the principal.

Girl, how about those benefits?

Girl, I'm talking about the Bam Bam benefits, baby.

Bam Bam?

Oh, no Bam Bam benefits, honey.

School policy.

Apparently, Stace, the principal can't date the teacher.

Okay. With that cute little short skirt you're wearing, I would kind of go

against that.

I just said I can't work. Bam, bam, bam, bam.

Cora, what the what?

What the ham sandwich is going around?

Dad, I knew this day would come.

They don't pay that much at that school, and you done got on that pole. Stay off

that pole. I told my dad, don't take this back. Maybe let us see you doing

kind of stuff, because they'll mimic what you do. Don't the kids do that?

She used to be on that pole like this, and she'd be spinning that telephone

pole. She'd be swaying on that joker like that.

Now, you done started stripping styles to pole, Corbin. No.

That is not. What are you talking about?

Corbin, look at you.

Yeah, look. Don't I look nice?

No, you don't.

You look like that. You got that from the make it rain shop in the low self

-esteem department. Look at you.

I do not. I would shop.

Corbin. This ain't how we agreed to spend your school money.

Mr. Brown, what are you talking about? Look, you look cheap. Look at this. You

look like Santa Claus. I just feel like I need some toys or something.

I'm going to get the door. That's probably Gordon. We're sharing a ride to

school. That better be the only thing y 'all sharing.

You better not be sharing no love.

Mr. Brown, you know what? I want you to stop faking nasty.

Remember, baby, you get it from your mama, okay? Right. So what you gonna do

when you answer that door? I'm gonna put the bam -bam on it. Bam!

Bam! Bam!

Bam! Bam!

Bam! Bam! Hurry, you better stop walking nasty before you tear up that

furniture. Hurry!

Hurry, knock it on my table. Pick it up!

Oh, I've been here an hour and I'm already exhausted.

I got two nurses out.

The ER is full, and I almost stuck myself with a needle.

Listen, I'ma feel sorry for you as soon as I get back from my break.

Ooh, Dr.

McChocolate. Uh, that's Dr.

Brown. Okay, Dr. Brown Chocolate.

Hey, hey, hey, Renee.

Mm -hmm?

Thought you were supposed to be taking a break.

I am.

Be back in 15.

Nurse Brown, there's a man in 306 that needs assistance.

Certainly, Dr. Brown.

Wait.

There is no man in 306.

There will be when I get there.

Oh, seriously, you're just dirty.

That's just nasty.

You know, I'm getting paid, sweetie. Sorry.

Brain check?

Oh, definitely. And, uh...

You can cash it any time you want.

That's nasty, too.

Hey, you know what? Can you just hand me the chart, please?

Sure.

About... 13 minutes.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You know what? I think she's taking her break.

Good looking out, Sasha.

Break over.

Hey, Dr. Crane.

Can I help you?

Or better yet, can you help me?

No. This wallet belongs to the stab victim they just brought in.

Well, let's see if he has credit.

He won't know that I'm shopping.

And he is cute.

No, for real. If he survives, I'm giving him my phone number.

Dr. Crane, you paged me.

Yes, I need you to handle the stab victim.

I'm tied up with other surgeries.

Uh, sure. No problem.

Eddie Walker.

Oh, yeah, you're gonna have to take care of him. Because my poor kids could use

a good stepdaddy. And he got credit.

Okay, wait a minute. Did you say Eddie Walker?

Yeah, why? You know him?

Yeah.

This is the lowlife that tried to molest our son.

It means he's single.

Hey, Cora.

Oh, hey, Gordon.

What do you do when your best friend's wife hits on you?

You slap her.

No, I'm just kidding, just kidding.

Well, you tell him.

Yeah, but he was sitting right there.

Oh, well, they need to go straight to church.

Cora, we were in church.

new friends, and a new church.

All right, Keisha.

You keep on cutting glass.

You'll be graduating with your kids.

Hey, Gordon.

Reggie.

Hey, Cora.

Oh, hello.

Oh, should I say the only reason why I come to work in the morning?

Aren't you sweet?

Well, that and to pick up my check.

Here's your new football schedule, Gordon.

Well, now, Coach, you know we're looking forward to a winning season this year.

Well, then you might want to go watch our rivals play.

No matter what, we're all winners here.

No, we're not. Our team sucks.

You can't talk about the kids like that. What is it that our team is missing?

The ball, usually.

The problem is the GPA.

GPA. Is it too low? No, it's too high.

Everybody knows that kids who can catch can't spell.

There are some kids who can do both. Yeah, problem is, they don't go to this

school.

Oh, Reggie, you are a mess.

Yes, I am.

Cora, Cora, Cora.

I've been seeing you around school, and I've been wanting to say something to

you, but I stutter around beautiful women.

Oh, you do now.

I, I, I sure do.

That was original. Yeah, back in the 80s.

Anyway, you look real nice today, Cora.

What? Thank you. Thank you for noticing.

Then again, you always look nice. Oh, just a little too close.

Thank you. Thank you, too.

Hey, I know this might be a little last -minute thing, but we're not getting any

younger. You need to speak for yourself.

Look, I know this really nice tiny restaurant.

You want to go out?

Well, I may need to check my calendar.

Oh, okay.

But this two -for -one coupon expires tonight.

Well, my calendar is free.

Okay, and then maybe afterwards we can take you to the movie?

Maybe. Sounds good.

I can come pick you up at 6.

That sounds good.

Hey, Coach Reggie.

Not that I care anything about you.

But I think I might want to warn you that Miss Cora, she lives with her

Who asked you to do that?

That's fine by me.

During these harsh economic times, plenty of mature people are cohabitating

their parents.

You live with your mama, don't you? Yes, ma 'am, I do.

And my daddy.

Last I checked, he was still in surgery.

He's been in there for hours.

Speaking of hours, the construction workers should be getting off the ledge

now.

Aren't you annoying with all those catcalls?

I don't get that loud.

Long day, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, I just hope Will's okay.

Must be hard to save the guy who tried to hurt your son.

Yeah, but Will's a pro. He can handle it.

I don't know if I could do it.

Eddie Walker was supposed to be in jail.

Well, you know how the system works.

Hey, Will, how'd it go?

I did what I had to do.

Okay, well, is he gonna make it?

I don't know.

I know one thing, though. If he doesn't...

The world would be better off without him.

Good job, Dr. Brown.

You should be proud of yourself.

For what? For saving a child molester?

Yeah, right. I should get a medal.

Excuse me. This is ICU.

Will. Will.

You don't need to be saying things like that. Baby, it's the way I feel.

Now, you know more than anybody else that I take pride in my job, but...

For the first time in my life, I didn't care if I lost the patient.

You can't say that.

Dr. Brown, there were some complications.

Eddie Walker didn't make it.

Sorry, Will.

So, what do you think happened?

I don't know. We'll wait to check.

Well, I heard he said the world would be better off without Eddie.

He didn't mean that.

How do you know?

Because I know my husband.

Look, I got four kids, and I would do anything to protect them.

Well, except for that last one.

He could come on there to his trifling just like his daddy.

Honey, what are you getting at?

Maybe this was Will's way of getting even.

You are way out of line.

Am I?

Bathroom break.

What happened?

You said that Eddie was stable.

He was.

Okay, well, what was his heart rate?

It wasn't abnormal under the circumstances.

Were there any other signs that he could have... Wait, wait, wait. Wait a

minute. Are you questioning me?

Well, I'm not questioning you. I'm concerned.

Sasha, I know what I'm doing.

Why are you so concerned about Eddie?

I'm not concerned about Eddie. I'm concerned about you.

Well, don't be.

I'm fine.

Oh, my goodness.

But I heard it was a good movie.

That movie was so bad, the bootleggers walked out. Oh, well, you didn't have to

boo the whole movie.

Everyone else was booing. For a minute, I thought it was Hamilton Night at the

Apollo.

Boo!

But I did.

I had a good time. Yeah, me too.

Oh, hey, Carter. Oh, hey, Mr. Brown.

Where you come from?

Well, you know what they say.

A mama's baby, papa's maybe.

What kind of moron say some dumb stuff like that?

I bet you got a fifth of Thunderbird in your back pocket, don't you?

Where y 'all go?

Where y 'all go to eat somewhere? Yes, we want to have chicken. I'll tell you.

can tell you where you go. Blow in my face. I'm going to show you how good I

That's Moo Moo Caca chicken, Chinese food.

Yeah, blow again. I'm going to tell you what you had.

and a lot of shrimp fried rice.

Blah, blah, blah again, Cory.

What the devil? You ought to have diet soda for, Cory. You had 50 million

calories. You're going to say, give me a diet soda, please.

Cory, that's a mess.

Mr. Brown, this is Reggie. He works at the school, too.

Well, you're working awfully late, aren't you?

Ain't no school around here.

Well, Cory and I took in a movie. Shut up! Y 'all went to a movie? Yeah. I hope

it was rated G, because Cory can't watch rated R movies.

It was rated X.

Shut, you done took my daughter to a waitress? Mr. Prince, nothing.

For excellent.

Now, somebody lying, because I was standing in there listening to that

the door. You said, they was booing the movie, boo like that. He a liar.

He a liar.

If you a liar, you're still.

Mr. Prince, you're still. He's a P .E. teacher at the school.

You a liar. Look at him.

He look like he been skipping P .E. Look like he been going to extra lunch.

And you look like you could use a couple extra.

P .E. classes.

How about if I show you my kickboxes?

Oh, hey, hey, hey! Now you better quit before you sweat them polyester pants.

Brown, behave yourself. Reg is my guest.

Guess who I'm about to ask to leave my house? Your guest.

Now, please, never mind him.

He's harmless.

Carver, you a liar. You know I know that kangaroo style.

You know kangaroo?

I'm going to show you.

I started kicking you in the nose. I started kicking you right in the nose.

Would you please just calm yourself?

I'm calm, Carver. You know what?

We're going to see if you think this funny.

Carver is playing you, player. What?

I know, what?

Carver's playing you. What are you talking about?

Carver, you ought to be ashamed of yourself trying to date two men at the

time. I am not dating Gordon. And me and Richard just went to the movies. You

need to make up your mind.

Do you want him or do you want him?

Because, Carver, the Lord may ask you. He didn't make Adam and Eve. He didn't

make Adam and Eve and them. And you need to fight the devil. Just look at this.

You need to sit down before you knock yourself out.

What you eat, the buffet? Boy, you have to tell my face.

Your food must have been burnt.

Puffy.

Carver, I don't like him.

He just played with me. Hey, Puffy.

I mean, when I first met Reggie, he was not my type at all.

I mean, he was loud and opinionated, obnoxious.

I think I like him. I think I like him. Well, you know what they say.

Women tend to be attracted to guys like their fathers.

Oh, now I'm depressed.

Well, that makes two of us.

So how was your date?

Much better than Will.

Eddie Walker came in today.

Eddie? The monster?

He was in jail. No, he was.

He got off on a technicality.

What? I mean, what if he hurts another child?

Yeah, well, that won't happen.

Eddie died, Cora.

What? Mm -hmm. And Will was the one who operated on him.

Oh. Mm -mm -mm. The Bible say you reap what you sow.

Cora, I don't understand it, okay? One minute Eddie was stable, and the next he

was dead.

Well, I'm sure Will did everything he could.

Well, I'm not so sure.

Look, he wasn't too broken up about it, okay? That's what's bothering me.

You're not thinking Will did anything, are you? Cora, it might not be what he

did, but maybe what he didn't do.

Look, I don't have any answers right now, okay? I don't know.

You know your husband?

I think so.

You do.

Will needs to know at a time like this that you support him 100%. Cora, even if

I'm not sure?

What did he say?

He said that he did everything he could.

Well, you believe him and support him.

With a final snap of his goggles, Douglas reached for the

ignition.

Ignition.

Ignition. That's it. That's it. The gathered crowd shared in a long,

deep...

Breath. I know I can.

Will! Hey, buddy.

What you still doing up?

Waiting for you.

Oh.

What's that in your hand? A book? What you reading?

The House of They.

All right.

Sounds cool.

Could I read to you now?

Baby, Will's tired.

No. Maybe tomorrow he can... No, no, no. It's okay.

Why don't you go upstairs and brush your teeth, and I'll be up in a minute.

Okay. All right.

Good night, bud.

Good night, baby.

I was getting kind of worried about you, babe.

The hospital said that you left hours ago.

I should have called.

Not one of your best days, huh?

No, it wasn't.

I was contacted by the review board today.

They're investigating me on the treatment of Eddie.

Baby, look, I'm sure it's just a formality.

You did everything you possibly could to save him, right?

Yeah, but when you lose a patient who you publicly stated you have a disdain

for, it doesn't look good.

But you did your job.

Let's hope the review board thinks so.

Uh...

I'm going to go tuck Joaquin in.

I'll see you upstairs.

You know what, Sasha? I feel bad about the way it happened, but at

least Eddie can't hurt any more kids.

How about after school?

Well, I have to grade papers.

I'm free tomorrow.

Football practice.

What about the death of that?

Detention.

Oh, man.

We could always meet at your house.

No, mom's be tripping.

She's no worse than your daddy. He is overprotective.

Maybe a little.

He's not so bad, though.

Is this thing on? Give it to me. Give it to me. That's the one choice.

Cause it's hot out here!
