Woo! Had a good time tonight, didn't we, baby?

Come on, come on.

Woo!

People are trying to sleep.

Shh. Don't shush me, boy.

Your daddy shushed me once.

What?

just keeping up all this noise, sounding like a pack of wild hyenas.

Oh, it's just you, one wild hyena.

Dear, to what do I owe this unwelcome visit?

Don't start with me, Brown. Don't start with me. I'll go ape on you tonight.

Looking at you, you ain't got far to go.

If Animal Control sees you, they gonna shoot you on the spot. Look at you.

Uncle Brown, me and Marge is down there having some fun.

Doing what?

Ah, we were celebrating.

Okay. I got one question.

What you two got to celebrate?

You unemployed, no job, and you ain't drew a sober breath since the 70s.

Y 'all don't start with me tonight.

I keep going.

All Will can do is wait for the medical board's decision.

And I came to lift this spirit.

Oh, Vera, don't put your arms around me. You smell like spirits under your arm.

It's a 13 -step program.

It's a 12 -step program.

Don't talk.

Just keep your lips like this. I'm getting a buzz. I'm drunk. You know

sick of you.

I am. You're a drunk. You're an alcoholic.

Wait, wait, wait. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm going to chow my app with you.

Would you two cut it out?

She started it.

You're siblings.

You're supposed to love each other. You know, like Venus and Serena.

Like Cain and Abel. Get off of me.

Y 'all took a note.

I got a rock in this person that's got your name written all over it, Brown.

Uncle Brown's head is probably hotter than that rock.

Wait a minute. You're talking about me, ain't you?

Yes. I would have said his daddy, but neither one of us know who he is. Oh, uh

-uh. He took a note, and I told you.

You trying to drown me?

Yes.

Yes, I'm positive you don't have uterine cancer, sir.

Mr. Williams at it again, huh?

Yes, and yesterday he kept asking me to give him a shot of insulin, and when I

refused, he just kept pouting and pouting until he just passed out.

He's a diabetic, Renee.

What's up, ladies?

Well, my blood pressure's down.

Would you like to check it?

Don't you have some work to do?

I am working it.

Could you please just go make your rounds?

We'll pick this up later.

I'm going to go check and make sure the medical assistants aren't recycling the

Band -Aids.

Wow, they do hip replacement surgery on the fourth floor.

She is such a mess.

Now that's the Sasha I miss. Oh, gosh, what do you mean?

I mean you haven't been yourself lately.

What's up with that?

Well, after we'll, um... You know what? Never mind. I'm fine.

Well, if you don't want to talk about it, I understand.

Okay, look.

Ever since Will's suspension, let's just say that things haven't been easy.

And now that his gin -soaked mother is here, they both lie around like

furniture.

Mother -in -laws can be difficult. You married, Dr. Gray? Nope. I was married,

separated, and divorced.

That was the wildest weekend of my life.

Vegas.

Yeah,

I've been there, done that.

Hey, I know you have a break soon.

Want to go grab some coffee?

You know what? I wish I could, but I've got lots of work to finish.

Maybe some other time?

I'm going to hold you to that.

Oh, I see you'd like to make me run off and leave my kids.

Oh, gosh, Mark, you...

Please make that baby stop crying. I can't hear myself think. Look, I'm doing

everything I can. The baby just won't stop.

I'm just taking this to show that you don't know anything about babies. Give

this thing.

What are you doing?

Don't take that.

That's how you shut a baby up.

You know, I'm not going to carry you for this entire class project.

Look, next week, the teacher says we are to work together as a team because

we're getting graded as a team. Okay? Okay.

teammates. How about you burp little Kiki?

It's Kenya.

Whatever, cat.

Hey, what are y 'all doing with that baby?

The baby's not real, Mr. Brown.

Tell me something, because, you know, I got child protective service on speed

dial.

You know what? Breon and I are great parents.

Now, wait a minute, Jamal. What are you doing walking around here with a baby?

Show them like that.

Mr. Brown, this baby's for a class project.

Project? I'm telling you, two teenagers raising a baby, that ain't no project.

That's the projects to me.

This baby is supposed to teach us the responsibilities of parenthood. Yes,

Breonna and I, for the next two weeks, are to take care of the baby.

Yeah, two weeks too long. I have a life.

At least Jamal's good with the baby. Yeah, he a little too good with the

How many babies you got? You got babies running around here we don't know about.

How many kids you got? Nothing, Mr. Brown. I helped my mother raise my

brothers and sisters.

Him raising his brothers and sisters is very admirable.

That boy was admirable in the army?

I'll be for real. See, there's something about that. I was just saying, Jamal is

really responsible for his age. And I have to say, I like it.

That's such a fast tale, man.

That's what's wrong with you kids. You better stop all that winking and

and kissing and stuff. Next thing you know, come out pregnant.

see that you're going out.

Again? Yeah.

Me and Mom going over to Stevie's. She wants to do karaoke.

Oh, that's so great.

Well, you know what? At least over there it's acceptable for her to be drunk and

sing off -key.

As opposed to? Church.

Why'd you make me say it out loud, man?

Where is Vera anyway?

She went to go get her nails done, but she'll be back any minute.

You know what?

Probably her right now.

Hey. Hey, Will. I got a surprise for you.

You're leaving tonight?

Uh, Sasha, you feel that?

Feel what?

Me smacking you in my mind.

Come on. What's the surprise?

I guess who I invited to go with us tonight.

Who? Tomiko.

Tomiko? Who's ready to sing?

Tomiko?

What are you doing here?

Oh, you know I'm a hairdresser. I'm in time for the big hair show.

Sasha, maybe Tameko can tighten up whatever that is you got going on in

head.

Mom, be nice.

Oh, I'm just trying to help her. Come on, Tameko.

Wow.

Tameko.

Wow.

I haven't seen you since... Since you broke off our engagement.

Ain't that a shame, girl?

Till Monday.

Ah, that gives us a couple of days to catch up. Now, who wants a drink?

So what's your story, huh?

You're married, kids, untreatable FDD.

None of the above.

Very single, on the market, trying to replace a man that's been irreplaceable.

Irreplaceable man.

Uh, Tomiko, I'm sure a beautiful woman like you doesn't need help finding a

Shut up, Will.

Yeah, shut up, Will.

Hey, everybody.

Let's have a toast to old friends, Will and Tomiko.

May your friendship continue to blossom.

Mom, where are the glasses?

You're not going to drink out of the bottle again, are you?

Oh, no. No, honey.

I'm a lady.

You know what, Will? Can I see you for a minute, please?

Can I see you for a minute? Hey, hey, hey. Y 'all want a sip?

What about you, babe? Oh, you know I do, girl.

Well, hold on a second. All right, now.

All right.

What's up, babe?

Oh, don't you babe me.

What do you think you're doing?

What?

And what's with the little ghetto girl stance you got going on right now?

I'm just going out with my mom.

Yeah, and Tomiko.

Son?

Look, that doesn't have anything to do with me. I didn't know she was coming.

You still don't trust me.

Well, of course I trust you.

It's your mama and that respectfully dress hoded I don't trust.

Look, you don't have anything to worry about, okay?

Okay? It's just karaoke.

Well, I don't like it, and you're not going.

Excuse me?

I'm a grown man. I can do what I want to do.

Well, go on, grown man, and see how this plays out.

I will.

Sue each other for child support and ruin each other's credit.

Hello?

Hey, you got him?

All right, cool. I'll see you in an hour.

Okay, bye.

What's going on in an hour?

Tammy and Nikki are meeting us at the basketball game. Let's go.

We have to watch the baby.

Watch the baby do what? I mean, it can't do anything without the batteries. No,

no, no, no, no. I'm not taking out the batteries. We have to treat this baby

like our folks treated us. That fake baby will need real rehab. Do you know

girl's mama?

How about we take the baby to the game with us?

Do you know how sensitive a baby's ears are at this age? Jamal, it's not real.

I know that, but the teacher's going to give us a real F if he finds out we went

to the game.

Isn't another Mr. Brown in the room?

Okay, you know what?

I'll do it for you, too. I'll do it for you, baby girl. For $20 an hour.

But, Mr. Brown, we're family.

You know what? You're right.

$25 an hour.

$25 an hour?

They can't afford that on our budget.

Well, you can't go on your budget.

Are you sure?

Yeah, right, Mr. Brown? I mean, I can.

We can have it. We can just stay here and take care of little Kenya. You just

and... Give me

my pork brine.

Come on.

I see you.

Spicy flavor.

I can't believe him.

What? Will still hasn't called you?

Mm -hmm. Him and his ex. They're out there singing Reunited.

And you know what you should see?

I'm going to bust the windows at your car.

That's what I would say. If he was out there with you too, bust the windows at

your car.

I know where you park too, Renee.

See, that's not funny.

Why would you play around? You know I don't have the insurance.

Hey,

Sasha, you working a double tonight?

No, actually, I was just finishing up.

Okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, Troy, wait.

Um, you still up for that cup of coffee?

Sure.

I'll drive if you buy it.

Deal.

What took you so long?

Tammy and Nikki didn't want to leave the game. I had to catch two buses.

What's up?

I can't find the baby.

You lost Kwanzaa?

It's Kenya and yes.

Do you think we're going to lose points because we lost the baby?

I'm pretty sure losing the baby is a guaranteed F.

So, how can you lose the baby in the house?

This wouldn't happen if you weren't out running the streets.

But just because I have a baby doesn't mean that I can't have a life.

You are not ready to be a mother. You're not ready to be a father.

You know, I don't know why they gave this stupid assignment anyway.

Yeah, all we've realized is that we're not ready to be parents.

Maybe that's the point.

Hello.

Mr. Brown, what you doing with baby Keisha?

It's Kenya.

I've been calling this thing Curtis the whole day.

That's probably why he didn't... answer me okay now first of all you ain't finna

baby napper this baby was under that coffee table and y 'all this baby could

have been into anything y 'all so irredecible where'd you go oh i

went down to run a couple errands and i took little koala here with me it's

kenya

Oh,

man.

I can't believe you sang a country western song.

You sang Barry Manilow.

That's between us?

Yeah, and the lady with the blue hair that gave you her phone number?

Yeah.

I still got it.

I'm glad you sent your mother home early in a cab.

Oh, I mean, once she started singing Tina Turner and then acting out the fist

fight between her and I, it was time for her to go.

You know what, Tomiko?

I had a really nice time tonight.

But, you know, it's good catching up.

Wait, wait. Why are you rushing me out?

Where's Sasha?

Oh, she's at work. She'll be back in a little while.

Good. So we have a little time.

That's not how I remember it.

Now, Will, I can't believe you're a doctor.

That's such a great accomplishment.

Yeah. Thanks.

And a turn -on.

Come on, Will.

Don't you miss us?

The way we used to laugh?

So, Nico, you got to go. I'm a happily married man.

Then I guess your mother was wrong.

What does my mother have to do with it?

She told me that your marriage was on the rocks. Okay, the only thing on the

rocks is my mother's vodka tonics.

Listen, it's been great catching up.

You're as beautiful as I remember you, but what we had was in the past.

I'm a married man now.

Take care.

Why aren't you in the bed?

What? I thought this was the bed.

Why are you yelling? Where's Tomiko?

Ma, I said I'm home.

Why'd you set me up like that?

Oh, baby, I just wanted to see you happy.

Ma.

I am happy.

No, you're not.

You're a hot mess.

Moping around here.

walking around with your lip poked out, mad at me, when it was your wife who was

the reason you were suspended in the first place.

No, see, Mom, I know that's what I told you, but I was wrong.

Sasha was just doing her job.

Now, listen, Mom, Sasha's my wife, and you have got to respect her.

If you can't, then you can't stay here anymore.

You understand?

Yeah.

I understand.

Where you going?

Go apologize to my wife for the way I've been acting.

Yeah, well, I'm going back to bed. Go on.

Love you. I love you, too.

Hey, Renee.

Oh, hey.

We're speeches.

Where's Sasha?

Oh, yeah. She left a long time ago.

You're late.
