Good, you hear? You can settle this.

Brianna thinks that... No, no, no. Let me talk.

Arnett called, and my dad took the message, but he forgot to give it to me,

we both know what that really means.

Yeah, it means I was shocked the boy could remember seven digits.

Oh, hi, guys. Come on in. Oh, I'm fine, thanks. Nice to see you, too.

I'm sorry, baby. Hugs and kisses.

We need your advice. Can you fix her?

I'm not your therapist anymore, Flex. Don't you remember? That's why you fired

me, so we could... Get busy? Yeah, that's right. You can say it.

I was going to say have a meaningful relationship.

Oh. Yeah, Brianna, grow up.

You're still going to get busy later, right?

Listen, she's not going to help us. I just want you to understand that Arnaz's

phone calls are important to me.

Not right now, Arnaz. I'm busy.

Now, I'm meeting Spirit at the mall so we can shop for grad night. So, bye.

I'm so glad we worked this out.

You know, I have to admit, as excited as I am for our first date tonight, I'm in

therapy. Really?

No, because anybody can see you once a week.

I want to see you once you neg it.

I wanted to remind you about our meeting with the accountant tonight.

Payroll taxes are tonight?

I thought that was next week.

You can't blow this off.

I mean, they put people away for not paying their taxes. And we both know

I'm not pretty enough to survive in jail like you.

All right, I'll be there, but he better not take too long. I have a date tonight

with Danielle at the planetarium. See, I rented it out after hours for a private

show.

Not a planetarium, huh?

Man, who wants to look at fish at night?

No, D, it's a place where you go to look at the galaxies and the constellations.

Yeah, you're right. She's a really big fan of fish.

But the point is, it's an important date.

See, I've never had a woman come into my life and just make everything better.

Yeah, man.

It's kind of like me and candy.

Which is why tonight, I'm popping the big question.

Are you going to ask her to stop wearing heels?

No, man. The other big question.

I'm officially proposing.

Finally. I mean, congratulations.

Yeah, then after that, I'm going to talk to you about the heels thing. Yeah,

yeah. I mean, a woman's a treat. Oh, yeah.

Although I don't mind climbing.

Candy,

you have to help me.

This is my first date since my ex -husband.

God, I'm so nervous.

You know, I might just be in my bra and panties when Flex comes to pick me up.

Well, that would take care of the small talk.

Nah. You know, I must admit, I never really got the whole Flex thing.

No. Even when we were kids, all the girls liked him. And all I saw was the

skinny kid who collected farts into a tennis ball can.

He plays tennis, too?

Oh, my God. I love him.

Well, obviously love is blind and has no sense of smell.

Oh, sit down, girl.

Where's he taking you? I don't know. It's a surprise. All he said was be

at nine.

Hmm. That's strange.

Dwayne has a surprise for me, too.

Wait, you've been dating Dwayne for a while. I figured you'd be used to

Girl, don't knock it. That little mechanic knows his way around this

Man, I cannot believe this.

Five luxury buses with TVs and reclining seats, and we get stuck on a short bus

because of spirit.

We're late because of A -Train. Isn't that her fault her boyfriend's a flake?

Oh, and don't worry. We won't tell anyone this isn't your first time on the

short list.

Thanks, baby.

Hey, Greg.

Look, no helmet.

Thanks a lot for going to my grad night, A -Train. It's not like I haven't been

looking forward to this for months.

I don't see how this night could get much worse.

Yeah. Thanks for showing me.

All right, listen up.

Hands where I can see them.

And lips.

Thank you.

Now, I'm going to be on the other bus because, well, because I can be.

Brad, as class president, I know I can count on you to keep this bus in line.

That's right, Miss Laurel. I brought flashcards and juice boxes.

Greg here is going to be my eyes and ears, so behave.

She's gone.

Let's get this party cracking.

Ain't no party.

Like a short bus party.

Don't stop.

Booyah! Who's up for a juice box, baby?

I can't believe reception with a bunch of nerds. This is supposed to be one of

our last great nights before we graduate, before we end up going our

ways. Why wait?

There's an empty seat back there.

Spirit, don't go.

I'll send you guys to Busch Gardens.

Your spirit, right?

Cheer up, girl. You're on the party bus.

There's no room for depression.

That's what my 30s are for.

I must be growing old prematurely. You look young and hot to me.

Hey.

Here.

What the heck is that?

It's just a little bourbon and mango madness.

A little something I like to call the McKinley.

Feel good.

Well, good is something I need to feel right now. Thanks to my so -called

boyfriend.

Here's to my crappy life.

To Spirit's crappy life.

Gee whiz, that accountant, man. I'm going to be late for my date with

Now he's got ten minutes and then I got to go.

Oh, me too, but I can't wait that long.

Man, there's something wrong with this sandwich.

It's mortadella.

It's mortadella.

I'll be in my other office.

Oh, finally.

And you're late. We gotta hurry up and have another appointment.

Believe you me, I'm gonna make this as quick as I can.

I see we take casual Fridays very seriously.

I take this very seriously, too. Hey!

False alarm.

Hey, man, weren't you in here last week looking for a job?

Did I tell you? You're hired.

Hey, you got the job. Yeah, welcome.

Is it through bunny ears, through the rabbit hole, or is it the rabbit hole,

through the bunny ears?

Come on, man, look. The night deposit is on the desk in an envelope. Just take

it and go.

I got a big date tonight.

Oh, a big date. I guess it's easy when you got money, a car, and a job.

Don't forget good looks.

We can change that. Oh, oh, oh.

Hey, look, if you want me to hook you up with somebody, I can do that. But

you're going to have to go home and change your clothes first.

Because you never hooked me up with anybody.

Because you never held a gun to my head. Oh, now you're telling me. You don't

even know what happened. Man, the two of you, shut up. I ain't just selling them

for the night deposit.

This place is high end. You got M .A .T. Wells, Asante, Bold Sound System,

Alpine, and you deal a lot in cash.

So I know you got a safe. Oh, do you now? Huh? But do you know that the safe

behind a leather shine display? Do you know that?

Change of subject.

Welcome to D's, Devs, and Selves. How may I help you?

I will survive.

As long as I know how to love, I know I stand alive.

There it is, Kevin. Way too good a time. What do you think's going on?

I can tell you what's not going on. Us.

This is our grad night.

You should be thinking about me, because I'm thinking about you.

Never mind, you don't want to know what I'm thinking about.

I'm sorry, baby, you're right. Tonight is about us and the end of our high

school life.

That was some musical interlude, everyone.

Wait, I'm just going to go over my spirit of how important tonight is.

Except with you.

Ew!

Well, how many of these have you had?

McKinley feels good.

Let's just say, I feels McKinley great.

Well, you better call it before the driver tells Miss Laurel that you're

It's not a problem. I'm helping Greg get his GED.

Long as the word, right, Greg?

You know drinking is not going to solve anything.

for you to say your boyfriend's always here do you know how many times i've

watched you guys make out it's like cinemax not that i don't love you

because i do i love you so much and you are so drunk

is this how you want to remember your grad night do

you want to know The real reason A -Train didn't come

tonight?

I wouldn't put out!

The trash!

You wouldn't put it out. Girl, how many boyfriends have you lost because of

this? Spirit.

I put out.

Oh, fine. You know, I'll give your number to A -Train. He's looking for a

girl.

angry I am.

And how hot I look.

Oh, man, are you lucky you were this close to never seeing me naked?

Girl, I saw you naked at the spa.

And you're all right.

Candy, what are you doing here? Why aren't you with Dwayne? Because he's not

home. He told me to meet him at his place at 9. And I got there right on

.15. Now it's 9 .30 and I haven't seen or heard from him. I haven't heard from

him either.

You know, Dwayne told me that they had a meeting with their accountant after

work. Wait, what kind of accountant meets after regular business hours? The

who deducts a night at Hooters as a business expense?

Why would they do that when they have dates with us?

They're men, and they think they can have it all. Oh, they'll get all worked

over tight tank tops and hot wings, then come back up in here without even a

phone card, damn doggy bag.

Them suck.

Mm -hmm. And you know what goes good with men, Hayden?

Wine. How can they be so mean and inconsiderate?

No, not that kind of wine.

Talk about the kind you drink. Red or white.

Whichever box is open.

We're here.

Chug them if you got them.

Come on, Spirit, get up. But I can't.

My up is down.

All right, everybody off.

Are you all right, Spirit?

Uh, yeah, it's just a little motion sickness. I'm going to stay with her.

All right, well, I'll check on you later.

Check on him later.

There's no reason for her to ruin both our nights, is there?

But Arnaz, Spirit needs us.

What? No one told her to get drunk. Just prop her up.

Greg will watch her.

I am so drunk.

Good times!

I'll call Danielle, please, man. This is our first date.

Man, you can call her when the safe is open. Okay, okay.

18, 25.

I'm too nervous to remember.

Does this help, punk?

You know what? I want to open up this thing as much as you do. I have a

engagement ring in there.

Are you going to want that, too?

Stop messing around and open.

All right, all right, all right, man. That's not helping. All right?

All right, I know it's 18 to the left because that's how old I was when I left

my virginity.

to the right, because that's how old I was the next time I had sex, and that's

just not right.

Man, you weren't 18, you were 22.

I remember because I paid.

Has he always been this dumb?

I don't know.

We've only been friends since he was five.

Well, here's another dumb thing.

He about to put this Viper on these 22s. They look all right, but 18s will hug

the road better.

Man, you gonna ruin this car just to make a dollar?

Shame on you. Says the man holding the gun.

Oh, just kidding, man.

You didn't tell me you knew this much about cars when you came in looking for

job. You ain't give me a chance.

That's because you came in here dressed like a thug and, oh, what do you know?

You're a thug.

Well, when I came in, you was dressed like an idiot. And, oh, what do you

You're an idiot.

Man, you got one more minute to open that slate.

Uh -oh.

You been pumped.

I'm just going to go outside and get assed. You ain't going to get nobody.

It's fake gun.

I thought you were tied up. Man, you made a slit, not Dwayne.

Man, no wonder my shoes keep falling off.

Man, I wouldn't hurt nobody.

Just trying to get a little money. Well, that's not the way you go about it,

little brother.

Easy for you to say, Mr. Flat -out man.

Oh, snap, you watch my show?

Look, man, it's not like I haven't been trying to do the right thing.

You don't know what kind of pressure I'm under. I got a kid on the way.

You don't know my life. Man, I don't hear none of that. You don't know what I

know, man.

What if we give you a job?

What? Mate, you're offering him a job? Flex, he pulled a gun on us. Mate, what

would you have done if he shot me?

Adopted him?

Come on, little thug. Come here, man.

Look, dude, this kid could have been us if we didn't get the brace that we did.

That was a fake gun.

Now, if we turn him in, what good is that going to do?

Next time, it's going to be a real gun.

I say we give the kid a chance.

I don't know.

Oh, hey.

Hey, where are you going, man?

We're talking about giving you a job and you're trying to sneak off?

Oh, you were serious?

What kind of fool gives somebody a job that was going to rob them?

You obviously don't know what kind of fool you're dealing with.

Hey, come here, man. Come here.

You know what? I'll take another look at your application, all right?

Why don't you come back here tomorrow and we'll talk about it. All right.

All right. Okay.

Get out of here.

And wear a tie.

And what if this doesn't work out?

Guess not.

After all, it's not like I'm here every day. Let's roll.

R -E -S -P -E -T -T Find out what it means to me R -E -S -P -E -T -T Take

care of me, baby I said suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it,

suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it,

suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it,

robbed at fake gunpoint.

Yeah, yeah, but we didn't know it was fake.

Well, Dwayne never does.

Uh, baby, there's a difference between knowing and caring.

What? Give me a break. I know you were at Hooters.

You know, you don't show me any R -E -S -P -C -T.

Tell him, girl.

Daniel, look into my eyes, okay? I would never lie to you. What I told you was

true.

I wish it weren't, because I went through a lot of trouble to give you a

surprise tonight.

Yeah, Candy, and I had a big surprise for you, too.

But I guess we're going to have to wait, because I couldn't get the ring out of

the safe.

Ring? What kind of ring?

Engagement ring.

Candace Taylor, will you be my wife?

killing me.

This is worse than when my weave is too tight.

Look, I know you're upset about A -Train, but if you had slept with him

found out he was a jerk, imagine how much worse you would feel.

But I finally had a boyfriend.

I went into high school a loser.

And I was coming out a winner.

Now I'm just a loser again.

Having a man does not make you a winner.

Having friends makes you a winner.

But all I have is you and Arnaz.

I didn't say how many friends.

Now just sit back and relax your weave.

What are you doing here?

I felt bad about Spirit.

And you have my wallet in your purse.

Mostly I felt bad about Spirit.

Are you still mad at me, Arnaz?

Yeah, I'm not mad. I'm disappointed.

It was Grad and I that were supposed to be the three of us, and you missed it

because you were drunk.

one time, it's not like I have a problem.

That's what my mom used to say.

Oh, your mom.

I'm so sorry, Arnaz. I'm such an idiot.

Yeah, you are.

But you are idiots.

I love you guys.

Goodbye.

Yeah, stay down there. Your breath is kicking like karate.

Well, Dwayne, baby, it is their first date. Maybe they want to be alone.

You remember our first date?

You think they're playing Scattergores with my mama?

After the Scattergores, Dwayne.

Ooh.

You know, we should probably go, huh? I

went in tonight special.

I'm just glad you're all right.

It wasn't completely shot.

If you look off into the distance, right there, you see a little star that the

universe will forever call Danielle

45K97QR1.

Oh, you had a star named after me.

A little flower and chocolate and a string quartet involved, too, but...

This was... The most amazing

first date.

What? Ain't finished.

There's more?

Yes. You've seen the star.

Now I'm going to take you inside and fly you to the moon.

Love you too, Netta.
