Mr.

Brown, I thought you were going for a walk. I did, Cora. I already went for a

walk. For exercise?

Yeah, I walked in the kitchen and walked back here after I fixed my sandwich.

That's walking, Cora. But you're not even sweating.

Cora, you just walked down the stairs. Did you sweat?

I wasn't doing the exercise.

You were. Hey, guys.

Hey. What's up, pretty lady?

Isn't it me, or do you get goofier and goofier every time you come over here?

Captain America.

Sasha, come here, come here, come here. Do me a favor. Stand right there by

Reggie.

Y 'all look like the number 10.

This is brought to you by the letter L for loser.

Why are you always picking on Reggie? Barbara, look at him. Have you looked at

this boy?

Now, Cora, you know they say you only hurt the ones you love.

Is this true, Mr. Brown?

Do you love me like a son -in -law?

You know what? Come to think of it, I do.

Corbin, I love him just like Miss Jones down the street loved her son -in -law.

Ain't that right, Corbin? You know Miss Jones and her son -in -law? Yes, I

remember her. Isn't that the lady who went to jail for running him over with

car? Yep, that's the one.

Hey, son -in -law.

I'd run him back up.

Sasha,

you and Will have big plans? Big anniversary plans?

Oh, girl, we sure do.

My baby said he was taking me out for dinner and dancing.

Whoa. Why did I take you out for dinner when we got all that leftover food in

there?

Cora, hasn't it been about three months?

Yeah. Shouldn't the two of you be celebrating an anniversary?

Oh, slow down, Slimmy.

Cora and I don't go into all that kind of stuff.

How long has it been, Cora? Oh, three months, six days, 12 hours, and 36

minutes. No, 37 minutes.

Cora!

You put the pit in pitiful. You just pitiful.

What? Me?

Yes, you. You don't let no man see you doing all that. Oh, Reggie, don't worry

about it.

I'm not high maintenance. We don't have to celebrate our three -month

anniversary unless you want to.

And I want to. Do you?

Yeah. Yeah.

Let's go grab some of them leftovers.

Y 'all can't go nowhere because he ain't got no car.

Where's your taller half at?

You know, Mr. Brown, my baby said he had a surprise for me. Now, I don't know

what it is, but I so hope it's something I can wear.

Really? What do you want? Good evening, Brown family.

I have arrived.

You know what? If we shoot her, I'm sure she'll make a nice moose skin coat.

That's right.

I've arrived. Keep the applause down.

I'm trying to keep my food.

Don't you try to keep your weight down, Thicky Ricardo.

Well, can I talk to you?

I certainly hope that she is not my surprise.

She's not your surprise.

She just came down to see some old friends.

Who, Johnny Walker and his boy Red?

Stop whittling. Why you got to put your hands up? You know you got that stuff.

Excuse us. You excuse.

Can you tell me she was coming?

Because I didn't know until last night. Okay, well, you could have told me then.

Well, we were busy last night.

What? Only took you a few minutes.

Well, you could have told me afterwards.

Yeah, but, you know, I was asleep.

Listen, don't worry, okay? My mom's just going to be in and out. Her friends are

coming to pick her up later, and then you and I can begin our romantic

Okay? Are you sure you have another surprise for me? Oh, I got a whole night

full of surprises lined up for you.

I guess we do have an anniversary coming up.

Anniversaries? They're just a way for the greeting card companies to make

If you want a poem, baby, I got you.

You know I really like you, Cora.

Because you're the one that I adore.

I'll keep that in mind, busted, right?

Boom. Okay.

Hello? Oh, hey, Gordon.

What am I doing? Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Oh, yes, yes. Six o 'clock is fine.

No, I won't be late.

Okay. All right, bye -bye.

So what was that all about?

Nothing. Gordon was just asking me was I coming to the book signing tonight.

Huh. Why didn't you tell him I was here?

You never invited me to the book signing.

Now, don't go there. Yes, I have. And you said, I quote, I'd rather bathe than

bathe rat.

Yeah. But you can't go out with other men when you're dating me.

What? Me and Gordon have been friends for years.

Good. Then he's had his time.

I'm your friend now.

You're overreacting.

No, I'm not.

And I just don't know what to say about you and Gordon's little friendship.

Why don't you go whip up one of those little nifty rhymes?

Hoover.

Hoover? That's Hover. J .D. calls himself Hover because he's the best at

And I call you Hoover because you suck at it.

Vera, the only reason I'm letting you drink in there is because you can't do

without it. You start shaking and stuff.

Ron, I ain't judging you. When are you going to get a new TV?

I don't need no TV. That TV is perfect.

Well, why is the picture so fuzzy?

It's hard to see through bloodshot eyes, ain't it? You know what?

I'm going to be an only child.

Stop touching me. If I want a drink, I'll drink.

Hey, you two.

Why are you acting like kids? Am I going to have to separate you?

Ain't nobody acting like no kids. She just keep putting her hands on me,

touching me. I ain't touching you. You touch me. I ain't touching you. You hit

me. You hit me. She hit my head. You know what? I ain't got time for this.

I'm going outside having me a cigarette.

Vera, you... You know smoking them cigarettes can kill you.

Why don't you go on and have a whole peck of me?

I got no time for you. You listening to me? Yes, I'm listening.

Bite me.

Hi.

Uh, hi.

Not yet.

How you doing?

I'm fine.

Yes, I know.

Frank, Sasha's father.

Frank, oh, Frank, I didn't recognize you without my contact phone.

Frank, don't step back. You're going to get a contact high.

Frank, where's your better half?

I don't know.

See, Kate and I are separated.

Mm -mm.

That's a shame.

Oh, hey, hey, Frank, how you doing?

All right, bro. Looks like you gained a little weight there.

And I look like you lost a little wife there. Yeah, well, one great lesson. You

make me sick.

So, uh, how are you? I'm fine.

Yes, yes, you certainly are.

Ma, you said that already.

Baby, I picked up a new bikini for our trip.

You gotta see this. It is barely there.

never wet his trash.

Daddy!

Wow, Doc, what are you doing here?

Well, I had a little time to kill, so I decided I would stop by.

But you live ten hours away.

Okay, okay, so I had a lot of time to kill.

So I decided to take the two of you out for dinner.

Oh, that's great, but we've already got plans. We'd love to.

We would love to.

Oh,

God, that'd be great.

Why don't you sit down and tell me, have you talked to Mom?

Well, it's been a few weeks. I don't think your mother wants to talk to me.

Oh, Daddy, maybe you just misread her. What did she say?

She said, Frank, I don't want to talk to you.

Oh, Frank, I wouldn't worry about that.

You know, I lost Will's father to the street. What, Mom?

Is he addicted to drugs?

Mm -mm.

A bow -legged hussy named Wilma Street.

The point I'm making is I have moved on.

Well, that's easier said than done. See, we were together for 30 years.

Well, me and Will's daddy were together for 30 minutes.

But it felt like forever.

What you laughing at?

Um, you know, I made Sasha and I reservations at this great restaurant.

you care to join us? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I wouldn't want to intrude. You

kids go and have fun.

Well, I want to go.

Vera, what about your girls?

Oh, well, they all right. I got my good brawn.

I know you talking about my girlfriend. I can meet them later.

Vera, listen, why don't we let the kids enjoy themselves?

You can keep me company.

Mmm. You ain't said nothing but a word.

Okay, Daddy, are you sure you want to do this? Oh, sure, sure.

We can hang out until you guys get back. I know this little hole in the wall.

Well, I'm glad you know this little hole in the wall.

That sounds good to me. But you're going to have to drive because my license got

suspended. I'll show you right now.

Richard, would you sit down?

I can't believe Cora went to a book signing with Gordon.

She knows.

I don't like this.

And yet she went anyway?

That ought to tell you something, Captain Brainiac.

What about that time when the author said, And you can go anywhere you want.

Between two pages.

Reggie, what are you doing here?

Wayne out is welcome. He done drunk up my juice and ate up my chips.

I was waiting for you.

Really? Reggie, you didn't have to worry, man. I was going to make sure

got home safely.

Yeah.

I know how dangerous a book signing can be.

She could have got a paper cut.

Look, on that note, I'm going to go ahead and get out of here.

Cora?

Good night, Mr. Brown. It's good to see you, Gordon. Yes, sir. Unlike some

people that come to your house and eat up all your groceries, it's good to see

you.

Gordon.

So, you and Gordon finishing each other's sentences now?

Gordon and I only shared a quote.

And no telling what else he wants to share.

How are we going to deal with this, Cora?

Ooh, Corbin, I got mad. Now I know what she finna do next.

Windmill him, Corbin.

Windmill him, Corbin. Stop it.

I'm trying to help you. Good night, Reggie. We gotta deal with this, Corbin.

telling you.

There ain't no way.

I said good night.

Corbin, you're supposed to be on my side. Corbin, you're supposed to be on

side. You done punched me in my chest.

I thought it was my mama making all this noise.

Nah. If it was your mommy, it would have been some lying, smoking, cussing, and

drinking.

Well, they should have been back by now.

I know. I hope they're okay.

I'm going to call my daddy.

Yes, call your daddy. Call your daddy.

What took you two so long?

We ended our dinner early because we were worried about you.

Oh, the bar was full.

Well, from the looks of it, so are the two of you.

It's all good.

No, it ain't all good, player.

What y 'all staring at?

We trying to figure out why your dress is turned inside out.

What's going on with your dress?

Well, we got attacked by some cross -dressers.

I've never seen a man in high heels run so fast.

Yeah, right. And you know Prince is the only man who can run in high heels, and

I doubt if he is out jacking people.

Now come up with another lie.

Hey, we stupid.

Do you two expect us to believe that?

Well, girl, I don't care what you believe.

Tell me that didn't just happen.

You know what?

I don't even want to think about it.

Thanks for coming over, Gordon.

Oh, that's actually no problem.

I hope everything's okay with you and Reggie. He seemed a little upset the

day. Oh, he's just not comfortable with our friendship.

What? What's so funny?

I used to be just like him.

What? You? Get out of town.

So what made you change?

Well, you remember I told you about my ex -wife.

The fact is, I got a dose of my own medicine, and it was a hard pill to

I can't believe you were jealous.

Oh, girl, men tend to get jealous when we have someone we don't want to lose.

Well, I told him we were just friends.

You know, maybe if you tell him that you don't feel that way, you know, it might

be okay.

All right, well, I'll be honest with you, Cora.

Why would I lie to that man like that?

What the what?

Can I come in?

Sure. Yeah, Reggie, come on in, man. I was getting some sugar.

Come on.

I wouldn't want to interrupt anybody's friendship.

No. No, no. Me and Gordon was just talking about things.

Oh, you.

No hard feelings.

But you know where I stand.

You know what, Reggie? I understand exactly where you stand, bro.

Matter of fact, if Cora was my woman...

I'd do anything I could to keep her.

I understand.

Yeah, well,

I'll go ahead and get on out of here.

Y 'all take it easy. I'll see you later on, Rich. All right, brother. All right,

playboy.

I don't trust him, but he knows what's up.

Yeah, he pretty much told me what was up. Yeah, he told me.

That was easier than I thought.

Um, look, we need to talk about your neighbor, Vicky. You know, the one that

makes those fried pies that you like so much in exchange for handiwork.

Yeah, I love her pies.

Yeah, but she needs to call her own handyman from now on.

Hey, baby girl.

Daddy, how could you?

So much for small talk.

You're my father.

Why are you acting like such a man?

Well, thanks a lot.

Yeah, you know what I mean.

Look, you and Mom might actually still have a chance if you just go to her and

say that you... I don't want things to end?

Say that. You know what, Daddy? That's the one.

I've said that until I am blue in the face. Look, we both have to face the

that it might be over.

I thought I'd say that.

Daddy, look, you and Mom are my role models.

If you two can't make it, then what hope do Will and I have?

Just because your mother and I didn't make it doesn't mean that you won't.

I guess I just needed my dad to say that it would be all right.

It's going to be all right, baby.

Thank you.

And if my little fling with Vera ruined your anniversary.

I'm sorry. I apologize.

Ah.

There you are.

Vera, it seems that our activity kind of spoiled Will and Sasha's anniversary.

I was just apologizing to her. Is there something that you would like to say?

Yeah. Stay out of grown folks' business.

Oh, and whatever he said.

Can I respond to that?

You can do whatever you want to do.

Get out of here. I can talk to your daddy.

Come on.

It's okay.

Okay, but I don't like it.

Kids, get on my damn nerves.

Frank, I came down here to tell you something.

It's over.

What we had was special.

It's sweaty.

But all good things must come to an end.

Oh, it's not me, it's you.

Wait a minute. Don't you mean, it's not you, it's me?

No, I said it right.

Are you going to have a problem with that?

What if I did?

Well, then, we disregard everything I just said and meet at our spot.

Oh, no, no, no, Frank.

Damn it, we have to stop now. Come on.

At least until you figure out what you're going to do with your marriage.

Fair enough.

Come on, stop begging.

Come with me, babe. Come on.

evening huh i know and it's not over yet oh wow what's this

strawberries and champagne uh -huh i kind of had um cora and reggie take

everyone to the movies so that you and i could have replaced ourselves well

that's a great idea

We can watch Reggie's mama do that for free. Mr. Brown, I'm not going to just

let you talk about my mama like that if she ain't here to defend herself.

I didn't know dancing bass could fight. What do you know about dancing bass?

We're trying to celebrate.

Oh, go ahead.

We don't mind.

Mr. Brown, Reggie, we're going to let them celebrate.

Happy anniversary, you two. Happy anniversary.

This makes me sick.

Wait a second.

Yes. Wasn't my daddy with you? Oh, yes.

And wasn't my mom supposed to go too?

Yeah, they left hours ago. They should have been back by now.

I hope they're not a bit too in love.

Frank, I'm going to call the police on you. I know they're not going to deny

Sasha, what are you doing? Come on, aren't you coming?
