That's good.

Okay, get ready to get out of here.

Hey, good morning, Mr. Brown. Good morning, Carl.

Mr. Brown, have you seen the pie I made?

Mr.

Brown.

What is all of that?

What is what, Carl?

Mr. Brown, how could you?

Good. I needed another one. Can you make another one? How could you be so

selfish?

Selfish? Do you know if them needed people taste that pie, they're going to

realize what they're missing.

And I can't be that cruel. I'm not going to be cruel to people.

Mr. Brown, when I put that out the oven, I told you one thing. Do you remember

what I said? Do you?

He said, for me, don't eat.

Don't eat that pie. And what did you do?

I ate it. What? I can't hear you.

gonna do? Calm down.

I can't calm down. I don't have a pot of tape. Oh, stop whining like a little

girl. You can make another one.

What's gonna keep you from eating that one?

You know what? You got a point. You have got a point.

Maybe you should make two.

Oh, that's not funny, Mr. Brown. Don't be funny right now. I'm not joking.

You have no respect for other people's property. What if I took this little

hat, just bowed it all up and threw it in the trash?

I don't care. That's Will's hat.

You play too much, Mr. Brown.

He's got a change around here. I can't deal with this no more. No more, Mr.

Brown. Well, you know what? I can't deal with you no more neither. You know,

three days you done made sweet potato pie and apple is my favorite. I like

potato pie. Well, I like apple. Make more apple pie.

I want some apple.

professional?

No. It's called Say It, Don't Do It.

It's about couples that use physical contact in place of real intimacy.

Girl, please. Will and I don't do that. Yeah, that's because y 'all are always

too busy getting busy.

I don't do it. You want to take the test and see?

Okay.

So, when you argue, how do you make up?

Oh, that's easy.

With a hug and a kiss.

That's physical.

Yes.

Number two.

Do you ever entice him to get your own way?

Hmm. Only when I really want something.

Another yes.

Prickly.

Uh, how often do you cuddle? Oh.

You know what? Don't say that in public.

Because Will doesn't like me to use the C word.

I got a little time to burn. You want to go somewhere and, uh, talk?

Yeah, and, uh, after you finish talking, y 'all want to cuddle?

Watch your mouth.

No, baby, not right now, okay?

Oh, I get it, I get it.

You'd rather we talked at home.

No, no, I don't, because Renee...

seems to think our marriage is based on talking.

It is not.

It's also based on great sex.

Well, what would you do if we never talked again?

That'd be great.

Okay, I'm confused.

And you went to medical school?

Don't be.

I'm starting to think that Renee is right.

About what? That's just stupid.

It's not stupid.

It's right here in the magazine.

Magazines don't lie.

But y 'all can't even last a week.

No, we can't. So what?

See?

Baby, look, we can do this, okay? She is challenging us, and I know you and I,

yes, we can.

Come on, baby.

Okay, so what? Are y 'all up for the magazine's 30 -day challenge?

30 days?

Okay, we can do this. Right? Let's put our minds to it, and let's focus, and

let's bring it home, okay?

Man up. That's right. We're Browns, baby. Browns. And do it for me.

For you? For me.

Well, isn't it for me?

Okay. It's cool. For us. For us. That's my checkpoint.

What? Yeah.

Fine.

All right, now hold up.

Today doesn't count.

Because I know why y 'all was late.

Well, hey.

If the day don't count, leave me in 306, girl. I'm going to beat you there,

baby.

Freaking late.

Ooh, a five -letter word for moron. B -R -O -W -N.

Right. Hey, Curry.

Hey, Curry. You still not talking to me?

I said I was sorry.

Got your attitude from your mama.

I get it, Colonel. Don't move.

I have an attitude.

Hey, Brown.

Hey. Hey, Cora.

Cora not speaking to nobody.

Hi, Colonel. How are you?

She's not speaking to you.

What'd you do, Brown?

I ain't did nothing. Cora made those delicious desserts, and I enjoyed it.

she trying to have a little attitude.

He ate the pie I asked him not to eat that I made for the mission.

You a mission accomplished.

See, here's what I mean. He don't respect nobody's property.

Carl, where did you make the pies?

Where did you bake them? You used my oven, you baked them with my heat, and

that's my kitchen. Those were my pies.

What about all my blood, sweat, and tears?

What kind of pie was that, Carl?

See what I mean, Carl?

I'm a grown woman. He treats me like a child.

Carl, you are a child. You're my child, and you need to stay in a child's place.

I am not no child, Carl.

First of the soldiers I counsel down at the VA.

Well, maybe if you help him, you can help him.

There are two sides to every argument.

Yes, that's right. Two sides to every argument.

Your side is wrong, both of them. See what I mean, Carl?

Stubborn. You know, if you two are willing to try, I can take you through

of those communication exercises we do down at the VA.

Oh, Mr. Brown is not going to agree to that because he has a problem with

authority. Don't nobody have no problem with authority. I just don't like people

trying to tell me what to do.

This is worse than I thought.

Well, listen, I'll go and get my materials and we can get started.

Now, these exercises will actually help you learn to communicate better. Now, I

already know how to communicate.

No, you don't.

Carla, go to your room.

Carla, go home. Bye.

See, straight to the point. Boom. Just like that.

Well, go to your room, Carla, because I'll be up there in a minute.

Okay, respect among soldiers is crucial to working as a unit.

And a family is a unit. So, each of you, I want you to say something nice about

the other.

Now, Brown, you start.

Let Cora start. She the fruit of my lines.

Reminds me of that every day. Cora, you just... Are y 'all just telling the

truth? Your mouth is that smart.

You better... Please, please, please.

Okay, Cora, you start. You say something nice about Brown.

Mr. Brown has nice teeth.

That was good. That was good. Now, Brown, you say something nice about

Cora has nice teeth. You can't say the same thing I said. You can't say the

thing I said. What are you talking about? Would you just stop? Would you

yourself? Oh, you stop it. Both of you, stop it.

And sit down.

Come on, get your dad in his middle.

Now, Brown, come up with your own compliment.

Cora is sweet.

Now, that was good.

Sometimes.

I just want to punch you in your face. Okay,

okay, okay. Now that we got that out of the way, let's work on communicating.

Now, communication is based on talking and listening.

Well, he got the talking part down.

That's because I ain't trying to listen to nothing you got to say. Oh, listen.

Listen.

If we're going to make this thing work, we got to work together.

Okay, just let's do it. All right.

Now, Cora's going to talk about an issue that she had with you, Brown, and

you're going to listen, acknowledge, and repeat.

Listen, acknowledge, and repeat.

Repeat.

I ain't just going to do what I'm told.

Okay, go ahead, Cora.

Okay, he don't listen to me. He treats me like a kid and not like an adult.

Mm -hmm.

Okay, Brown, what did you think? She just said she hate my guts, and she

me for all her man problems. That is not what I said! That's exactly what you

meant. I read between the lines. Ain't nobody stupid.

That's what I said!

Oh, shut up!

That's when you stop it!

Woo! Woo yourself!

Okay, now, Cora said you don't treat her like an adult. Now, what do you think

about that? How do you feel about that? I don't treat her like no kid. I let you

go to school by yourself, don't I? I am a teacher.

Well, I let you have a boyfriend.

But you act out every time we go out on a date.

Cora, I wait up late at night for you with my pistol because I care.

You do?

Yes, and I'm not going to cry, I said.

Well, good, good. Now we're making progress.

Okay, now, Brown, you tell Cora what issues you have about her.

Cora, I don't think you give me enough credit sometimes.

Oh, okay. I heard you and...

You think I don't give you enough credit?

Colonel, she heard me. She heard me.

This is good.

This is good. Now, come on. Come on. Let's do a trust exercise.

Exercise? Colonel, I'm not going to be doing no exercise.

That's why I draw the line.

I ain't going to give you no exercise. Colonel Brown is a trust exercise.

Trust me. I got a bad back, and I don't need to do no exercise. You'll be fine.

Okay. Now, you just come right. Stand right here. Face Cora.

Now, Cora, now you stand right here.

Right here, Colonel? Right here. All right.

Now, this is a trust exercise, so.

Just relax.

Okay. And I want you to fall back.

And Brown will catch you.

Are you sure?

I'm sure. Yeah, come on, follow your daddy. It'll be just fine. So, listen.

When you're ready. Okay.

Just feel the trust.

Feel the trust. Feel the trust.

Feel the trust.

Brown!

I already told you.

The platinum package. All the channels. I want them all. Yeah.

No, I don't care how much it costs.

How much?

Damn.

My name... Oh, please hold.

Ma 'am, do you have your insurance card? Let me see it.

Okay, we'll be with you shortly. Sit down.

My name... Laura Griffin.

That was rude.

What's rude is me firing your butt.

That would be rude, too.

What is your problem?

Oh, I don't have a problem.

But what I need is for you to start doing your job around here before I find

someone else who will.

Whoa, whoa, okay. You know what I need?

I need for you and Will to start talking again. That's what I need.

You need to stay out my business.

I am...

only been three days and look at you you are so wound up you're about to blow

okay you know i just came in anywhere on my day off just to help out a little

bit

I just decided, you know, come on in and went for a little run first.

So how far did you run?

Uh, all the way here to work.

That's ten miles.

And I plan on running back.

That was inconsiderate.

What? You could have at least asked me if I wanted to run to work, too, but no.

You know, I've got some energy that I could be working off, too, you know.

I'm sorry.

Did you want to run?

No. Oh.

But it would have been nice if you would have asked.

Look, you too. Hey, stop it.

Could y 'all just give up the challenge, please, and go handle up what y 'all

need to handle on room 306? Because somebody gets hurt.

What are you talking about?

We're fine.

We certainly are.

Baby, how many days we got left? What do you mean?

You can choke by a big old Band -Aid.

I mean, it's a pretty Band -Aid, but it's for your pretty little neck.

Well, at least I have a neck.

Well, you still bitter.

You ain't got to be bitter and angry.

Oh, excuse me. I didn't even see you there. I'm so sorry.

Oh, yeah, I'm okay.

Where's my coffee?

Oh, that was your coffee?

Let me pour you some more, Cora.

I'm going to put you some more in there.

Here, here you go.

Here, Cora.

Sike.

Yes, you want a drink? See, that is so wrong. Good afternoon, Sasha.

What's so good about it? Huh?

You and Will must have had another fight.

Oh, I wish.

At least that way we could make up.

You know what? I know what that making up means. Y 'all better stop being

Who drank up all the coffee? That fat, round, bald -head thing standing right

there.

Well, you could have at least made more for others.

Well, if others wanted more, others could have made their own coffee.

How's your neck for it? Oh, it's doing good. It's fine.

She needs to learn to be a little more careful if you ask me. See, that's why

neck has been the same for me. Hey, hey, hey!

What's wrong with you two? Well, the reason my neck is like this.

Bye, ladies.

Bye, ladies.

What? Girl, you know that cold shower thing really doesn't work?

Cold shower? Girl, that cold shower thing worked for me, baby. I have to

one every other night because I'll be hot.

hours. To prove that we have more in common than physical attraction.

What? Who told you something like that?

That's what Renee said.

The same Renee who said she saw Biggie and Tupac at the mall?

Girl, please.

But what if she's right?

What? Look, I don't want our marriage to be based on physical attraction.

And what do you want it based on?

Love, trust, respect.

Oh, great credit is a plus.

Physical attraction.

Ow! Jake, that's the truth.

Oh!

Do you like that corner? Do you like that? Do you like that corner?

Okay.

I gave you an assignment to write down your favorite memories about each other.

Did you do it? Oh, here's mine.

All right.

Where's yours, Brown?

Oh, my dog ate it.

You don't have a dog.

Well, Edna ate it.

Watch it.

Somebody. Well, you start. Go for it. You read.

Okay.

All right. My favorite memory of Mr. Brown is when I was seven years old. Oh.

And I didn't have a bike to ride with all the other kids.

Mr. Brown had one, so he left it. Gave his to you?

No, he made me buy his.

But he always took care of me. Yes, he did.

That's before I found out he was my daddy.

That's my favorite memory.

Well, that was nice. That was nice, Cora. So, Brown, do you have anything to

say? I think Cora ripped me off on that bike.

Do you have any memories about me?

Well, I started to, Cora.

But when I realized I had so many, I just couldn't narrow it down to one.

But what I will say is this.

The day I found out she was my baby girl was the happiest day of my life.

Not just some crazy man my dear was calling the cops on.

That was great. Well,

Cora. I'm sorry, Mr. Brown.

I love you, Cora. I'm sorry, too.

Cora, you know we're going to be fighting later.

I know we will, but that don't mean we don't love each other. Yeah.

You know, our fights usually don't last this long. I know. What was so different

about this one that made it drag on so long?

You.

Well, at least you two agree on something.

Carter, I'm going to hit him high. And I'm going to hit him low.

Get him, Carter. Get him, Carter.

Great show, huh?

Yeah.

Did you enjoy your nap?

Yes, I did.

I've been so exhausted running around all over the place.

Baby, you know, I think it's so great that we've decided to focus on what

matters in our relationship.

I agree.

And I lost eight pounds.

We built a great life together.

We've adopted two beautiful kids.

And we're the best of friends and we share everything.

Exactly.

And that's... why I think that finishing this exercise is

really important.

Right.

Right.

So that said, I want you to meet me upstairs

in five minutes.

Mm -hmm.

You don't have to tell Renee about this.

Okay, Corey, come on. It's going to be all right this time.

No, Mr. Branson, that's what I'm talking about. You don't listen. No, I got hurt

last time. I just got that brace off my neck. I'm not going to let you foul.

Okay, I'll tell you what. That's what you told me last time you was coming.

You was out of it.

Sure.

This time, ain't nothing distracting me.

You turn this way. You sure?

Yes, this time I'm trying to save you. You ready?

Feel the trust. Feel the trust.

Take a deep breath.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Okay.

Now. You got me? Okay, wait a minute. Hold on. Let me get braced up, Carver.

can't just back up into me.

You're going to hurt something. Hold on.

Carver, don't jump. Don't jump. Just lean into me. Lean back. Feel the trust

three. Lean back.

Rest. One, two. Wait, wait, Carver.
