Thanks for coming with me.

Really needed the emotional support.

Yeah, I just find it ironic that the white guy is going to see his dad in

while the black guy is kind of free to be here.

What do you mean?

Just an observation.

It's got to be hard seeing your dad in prison.

It is, but, you know, I owe him.

Thanks to him, Grover's education is paid for and...

He did take the rap for us. Okay, would you stop saying that?

It was his rap. He took his own damn rap.

Well, you know, I've done everything I can to prepare for this. I've been to

every episode of Oz, Orange is the New Black, and the new Martha Stewart

documentary.

Shoot. I forgot to bring Lucy's for currency.

Where does one even obtain a Lucy?

They're just loose cigarettes. You buy a pack and you dump them out.

Would you look around?

Your dad is not in Sing Sing.

Okay, well, what if someone tries to make me his bitch?

I am a good -looking man.

Hey, well, if there's guys playing, who am I to get in the way of that?

Next.

I'll just get this over with, I guess.

What are you doing?

I'm preparing for the cavity search.

Did you say Sing Sing?

I tried to tell him that. Okay, well, I'm just trying to follow protocol, you

know. Look, I don't want to get thrown in the hole.

You don't have a hole.

Go to the metal detector, man.

Wow.

This is a prison?

This place is nicer than my junior high school.

Plus, I'm getting free Wi -Fi.

Hey, son.

Son?

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you was here to see the czar.

Lamar the czar?

I'm taking it you came up with that?

It was a collaborative effort.

Have a seat, gents.

Table.

Wow.

Looks like the Tsar's got some juice up in here.

Dad.

Are you running this joint?

You know what they say.

To be great at something, you have got to put in your 10 ,000 hours. Oh, yeah,

of course.

Okay. Well, I brought everything you asked for.

Old photos, compression socks, tropical medley tic -tacs.

Found it.

This is probably the last photo of me and your mother together.

You know, before the trial separation.

Separation? Dad, you walked out on us. To attend my trial.

You know, one of my biggest regrets while being on the outside was I never

managed to make amends with your mom.

I tried.

She never responded.

Yeah. It's got to be rough.

It's so easy to take your family for granted.

You always think they'll be a part of your life.

You know what, Dad? I'm going to talk to Mom.

I mean, look, I know it sounds silly, but since the divorce, I've always

about us being under the same roof again.

Well, it would...

Have to be this roof.

Calvin, a roof is a roof.

Welcome to the block. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Welcome to the... Oh,

boy. Your father's got that old 70s box down.

I should have known. He's been humming cool in the gang all day.

Hearing Lamar talk about his family got me thinking about my dad.

Yeah, I know it's in here somewhere.

Ah,

here it is.

Boy,

look at us right there.

I miss that hairline.

All the way down to my eyebrows.

All the way there.

Dad, who's that between Grandpa?

Oh, that's Jasper, owner of the Yippity Dip.

It's the best sandwich shop in San Bernardino.

Whenever I would get good grades or score a touchdown, my dad would take me

there for a celebratory Poe Willie.

Ooh, a Poe Willie?

I hope that's a sandwich, Pop.

Oh, son, it's more than a sandwich.

It's an experience.

I mean, fighting down into that crackly bread, the juice. I'll just run it all

down your chin, man.

Uh -huh. It's still open.

Ooh, you know what? We should go.

I'll bring the dibs.

That's a good idea, babe. You know, when was the last time the four of us just

did something together?

Yeah, this Saturday.

Family trip to the Yippity Dib. Oh.

This Saturday? This Saturday is going to be tricky. I'm not going to be able to

make it.

Hey,

hey, hey.

Don't make me make y 'all go.

All right, Daddy, we'll go.

Hey, we wouldn't miss it.

I mean...

Only if you wanted to.

Hi, Paula.

Welcome.

Oh,

it's so good to be back.

Since I haven't seen you all for over a year.

Mom, I saw you on Thanksgiving.

Yeah, that was last year.

That was five months ago.

Oh, I guess I'm just thinking about how you never call me.

And how long are you staying?

Tina. Yeah?

You have not changed a bit. Oh, why, thank you, Paula.

You people really don't crack.

I'm just going to issue a blanket apology now for everything she's going

Oh, and Calvin, congratulations.

On the way into town, Dave pointed out your new black -owned business.

Well, it's just a business.

Oh, you don't own it.

But no, yes, yes, I own it.

What am I missing?

So, so much.

Well, you know what?

I know you guys got a little drive ahead of you, so we're going to let you go.

All right, good. Wait, a drive?

Sorry.

Calvin, that was supposed to be a surprise.

Ooh, a surprise.

Where?

Uh, well... Mom, I was afraid that you wouldn't want to go with me.

To where?

To... prison, Mom.

Where Dad is.

Surprise!

This is so exciting. I feel like I'm in one of my true crime shows.

Wow. I'm in a room with a murderer.

Janet Sweet, they don't put murderers here.

That guy's got a teardrop tattoo.

That's just a mole.

He should have that looked at. That could be bad.

Oh, m 'lady.

Oh, my God, it's happening.

I've got things I've been waiting 30 years to tell you, and I finally have

someplace where you're not going to run away.

So I don't suppose these are... I wonder how many Lucys the chocolates

cost him.

Did you know that Lucys are just loose cigarettes?

This place hasn't changed one bit.

Hey, Pop, is that good?

That smell is character Actually, I think it's these menthol lights

She

looked like

that 40 years ago y 'all take a seat anywhere Not

there

Jasper, it's me. I'm back.

Great to see you.

Who are you?

Percy Butler's boy.

I'll be damned.

Calvin Butler.

You know, your name is still scrawled on the wall next to the payphone. I never

painted over it.

This place has been painted?

Mr. Jasper, why do you have a C rating in the window?

That's nothing.

The health department snuck up on me.

I've been meaning to take it down.

Okay, but what about the C?

Well, if I'd have known it was coming, I would have put the chicken in the

refrigerator.

Okay,

well, where was the chicken?

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm not falling for that one. Do I look like I was born yesterday?

Definitely not. Hell no.

Everyone in town knew that you'd gone to prison.

I mean, it was years before anyone would even give me a job.

And it was bad enough that the boy grew up without a father.

But then puberty hit?

And you had to deal with that?

The two -hour showers, my Glamour magazine pages stuck together, tissues

everywhere.

Mom, I feel like we're losing focus here.

I'm the one. I'm the one who had to do it. Do you know how hard it is to

confidence in a pigeon -toed kid with bad skin and a weight problem?

Oh, baby, you're so handsome now.

And do you know the worst part?

The worst part of this whole thing?

We haven't heard it yet?

When David decided to be cool, I'm the one who had to take him to Limp Bizkit.

Limp Bizkit!

No one talks to the Tsar like that. You know who this woman is?

No.

She is the Tsar's queen.

And nobody talks to her that way, Randy.

I'm sorry.

What was that?

I'm sorry.

Bizarre, huh?

Kind of a big deal.

Notice I've been working out?

Yeah. No.

Oh, my God, Gemma, I might have parents again. Let's give him some privacy. Oh,

yeah, I'm going to go scope some things out.

Please don't scope anything out.

What's up? Randy, is it?

So what's your deal?

Aggravated assault?

Drug kingpin?

Am I getting warmer?

Manslaughter?

Actually, I may counterfeit Ugg booths.

Lame. God, they'll just put anyone in prison.

not covered this in the Martha Stewart documentary.

Do you think somebody got shivved or shanked? A lot of people think those

are interchangeable, but there's a subtle distinction.

Please remain calm.

We just conducted a head count.

We're missing an inmate.

Dave, where's your dad?

Oh, damn.

you isn't very informative.

Well, it's food, Marty, not a Wikipedia.

When I was younger, if our parents gave us a meal, we ate it.

Back then, we weren't allergic to food. We was allergic to being hungry.

Yeah, but Pop, all these sandwiches are just people's names, man. The Poe

Willie, the Hot Henry.

Hey, Jasper, what exactly is the Little Jimmy?

Ah, it's a big bitty butt.

With the Jasper sauce.

Oh.

Okay, now, what is Jasper sauce?

Look, man, are you ordering or not?

You know what, Jasper, my dad used to always get us the Po' Willie. So I want

boys to have that experience. So let's take four of those and we'll share a

in. Okay. Okay.

What's a bone in? Oh, you're going to love it. It's a chicken sandwich, but

one of those fake fillets. Okay. It still has the bone in it.

No, no, no, no. You eat around the bone.

But it's a sandwich.

You know, I would like your tongue.

Officer, my mom is missing, too. We have to find them before they're shivved or

shanked, which apparently are two different things.

Are you serious?

Unbelievable. Gemma.

They're back together.

Yeah, your plan worked so well, it's gross.

It seems that your parents have broke quite a few rules.

I hope those three minutes are worth 90 days.

Oh, they were.

And it was more like six.

Minutes. Still got it.

Dave, thank you.

You made this possible.

Those tropical medley tic -tacs.

You got us the keys to the medic's room.

I'm just happy you guys are back together.

Hey, Officer Hurst, do you mind taking a family photo before you bring my dad

back to the hole?

I told you, no hole.

But sure.

You know, Lamar, I'm not this kind of girl.

You're going to have to buy me dinner.

Absolutely. In three to five years.

Um, Mr. Jasper, we've been waiting for quite a while now.

Yeah, man, it's been like an hour.

I didn't know y 'all was in a hurry.

Next time, don't come here hungry.

Mr. Jasper, man. Ain't that great? No, it's a restaurant.

It's going to melt the meat. The way the meat come off.

There we go. What up, baby?

I'm going to tear this poor Willie up.

All right. Bye -bye, Willie.

Is it supposed to be this wet?

Yeah, that's the Jasper sauce.

Still not clear on what that is.

Okay.

Daddy, are you crying?

You're not crying, man.

Oh, come on, Pop.

I mean, it's... It's just that, you know...

This is the taste of my childhood. That's all, man.

I can just see myself as a nine -year -old boy sitting here with my dad.

So is it good?

No, it's terrible.

And maybe it always was, but that's not what matters.

It's just that feeling of being here, seeing my dad right here.

watching them put a dime in the jukebox, playing cool in the game. You know, I

can see it right there.

Aw.

You know what, baby? That's so sweet.

It almost makes me want to take a bite.

I'm not, but almost.

Hey, Pop, I'm so glad I got to see where you and Grandpa hung out, man.

You know, take your time.

I'm going to eat these sugar packets.

I am done with this sandwich. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Marty.

You got to eat all your food. Otherwise, Jasper will go off.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Go, go, go, go, go, go. Go, go, go, go, go, go. Go, go, go, go, go, go. Jasper!

I'm never going to forget this day.

Well, that's what this was all about, you know, creating new memories.

Yeah. And probably catching salmonella.

Oh, you know what? We should take a picture.

Okay, you know what?

I'll get Mabel to do it. Mabel, you mind taking a picture of us? Yeah, please.

Thank you, Mabel. Thank you. All right.

This a phone.

I got it. I got it. Yeah, don't.

Don't worry about it, baby. We're just going to take a silt, okay? All right.

One, two, three.

Mabel?

Gemma, that sure was a long drive for a sandwich.

Come on, Dave. In Hickory Corners, we lived on bone -in chicken sandwiches.

The little Jimmy does look enticing.

Okay, what'll it be?

Well, what do you recommend?

I recommend you decide on something before you ask me.

I'll have the bone -in chicken sandwich.

Excellent choice.

And do I know you from somewhere?

I don't know. You do look familiar.

Okay, I know what I want. I'd like a... P .O. Willie.

No, no, no.

It's coming to me. It's coming to me.

I'm sorry. I just ordered.

Didn't you used to be a waitress here?

Ah, ah.

Yeah, maybe in another life.

Is he not hearing me? I'm sorry. I tried to order.

How would you make him a P .O. Willie?

For you, beautiful.

Anything.
