Hey, y 'all. Hey.

Do you guys remember the Howard McDonald scholarship I applied for?

Yeah, and if you get it, can you hook us up with some free hamburgers?

Kit, it's a scholarship to the college of your choice.

I'd rather have a Big Mac.

Anyway, I made it past the first cut.

Now they want to get to know me better, so a representative is coming Friday to

talk to me.

Oh, so basically they want to get up in your business.

Yeah. And in case I want to talk to you guys, I've written a few things down for

you to say.

Note cards?

Nikki, isn't that a little rehearsed and unfair?

Not to mention very, very smart.

Mom said you'd take me in as your foster child.

Well, aren't you at my house every day?

Oh, so now you're keeping track.

Okay.

Mama, what am I going to say? Where's my card?

Uh, baby, I know how you hate to read.

change for a dollar?

Uh, yeah, I think so.

Ooh, you got enough to get me a Snickers bar.

Damn!

She's too old for you. No, she's too young for you. No, there's no such

Now watch a player.

Old school style.

Uh,

excuse me. Um, you look lost. Maybe I could help you. Uh, I'm a Professor

I'm looking for the single parent support group.

Oh, I know exactly where that's at. I'm headed that way myself.

But to tell you the truth, I'm kind of nervous about going.

It's been a while since I've been social, but I think I'm ready now to be

people who can relate to me.

I know exactly how you feel.

Oh. Are you a single parent, too?

A single parent?

Why, yes, yes.

I'm a single parent.

Do you have a son or a daughter?

I have a daughter.

So do I.

Is this destiny or what?

By the way, I'm Stanley Ogilvie. I'm Della Fitzgerald. Nice to meet you,

Stanley. Nice to meet you.

Well, we better get going. We don't want to be late.

For what?

Our meeting.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking of my daughter.

at your place while my house is being fumigated?

Oh, well, I think you would have been enough.

You didn't have to cook dinner for me. I didn't. This is for me.

Can you say holiday in?

Oh, girl, I was just pulling in. Oh, before I forget, Gertie called to remind

that the Big Whiz party is here this Wednesday night. Okay, cool. So,

remember I told you about that scholarship representative meeting me on

How can I forget? That's all you've been talking about.

Well, should I ask the professor to come here to meet the rep?

Or should we go to my boo's apartment?

Uh, I wouldn't do either. Some things you need to keep private.

Okay, maybe you're right.

Besides, me and my boo are only engaged.

You may not want to mention that either.

Hey, what's up, professor?

How'd it go yesterday?

Oh, do you even need to ask?

We're going on a date tonight.

Wait, did you tell her yet? Yeah, well, I will.

Oh, no. a honeymoon in central Maine.

Wait, wait. How'd you avoid talking about the kids? Well, I simply told her

we needed to learn more about each other first.

Separate from the kids.

Good.

Hey, boo!

Oh, no!

Let go of me!

Cocoa puff?

Sorry I haven't been around.

Yeah, well, that explains why the migraines have disappeared.

It's just that I've been busy trying to get this McDonald's scholarship.

Isn't that the one where they'll send you to the college of your choice? Yeah.

You know there are some excellent colleges in outer Mongolia.

I don't know. I'd be too far from you.

I'll get started on your recommendation immediately.

Hey, y 'all.

Hey. Hey, guys. You got to clear out. We have to set up for our bit -wit party.

But we're studying.

At least they are.

Foster Child ring a bell?

Just go to Cam's room.

Hey, boy, boy, boy.

Let the games begin.

Hey, loser. What's up, girl?

So you and Andell ready to get beat and bit with tonight?

Not unless someone else is coming here to play.

Yeah, where's the shrimp you were supposed to bring?

Shrimp? I thought I was supposed to bring the Remy Red. No, I was supposed

bring the Remy Red.

Great. So we have all this liquor.

And no food.

Hey, Gertie, I don't want to see you cheating this time. Well, then you need

look the other way.

And there.

I hear that's spraying your house around here.

It's termites.

That's all right, girl.

Everybody's got them.

I said it's termites.

Okay, they just look like roaches.

and some quality time with my daughter.

In a minute, Kaylee.

Daddy's on the phone.

You know, I'm going to be in your neighborhood with my daughter. How about

drop by? That way our daughters can meet.

Well,

my place is a mess.

Are you forgetting I have a child, too?

Well... Look, I don't want to be pushy. I just really want to see you.

But if you don't want to see me, it's not... No, no, no, no, no. Of course I

want to see you. Good.

We'll be there in an hour.

I'm dead.

Hi. Hi, Miss Carter.

I hate to bother you, but I was wondering if little Ashley could come

house for a little play date.

I didn't know you had kids.

Well, I don't.

You have some of your nieces and nephews over?

Actually, no, again.

Okay, I'll be right back. I'm going to go get my gun.

Pack your bags, Zandelli, because we're moving to...

You in the bed already?

Alone? Too bad.

Did I tell you guys about my date last week?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. You had a date?

Now, I didn't hear anything on the news about a missing person.

This fool had to know to take me to Taco Bell.

Mr. Dudley from the scholarship program.

Hello, Mr. Dudley. I'm Nikki Parker. No, it's Dudley.

Okay. Well, Mr.

Dudley, I wasn't expecting you till Friday. Yes, yes, yes, but we find that

these unexpected visits are always so much more revealing.

May I come in?

Yes, yes.

This is my bridge club.

Bridge club?

Very good.

Yes, yes. And bridge club, this is Mr.

Dudley, the scholarship rep I told you about. Hi.

I dabble in a little bridge myself.

Please continue on.

Okay, okay. Okay, ladies, back to the bridge game.

And, Elle, why don't you start the bidding?

This must be a new kind of bridge.

Yeah, it is.

Excuse me, Mr. Daly, but can I offer you something?

I did miss lunch.

Well, no problem. I will prepare you a sandwich.

Please have a seat. Thank you. You are so welcome.

So, ladies, what are you drinking?

Fruit punch.

You want some?

He doesn't want any of our fruit punch.

Well, actually, I am a little parched.

I'll get you some.

No, we're all out of it.

Uh -uh, there's plenty left.

So, uh, tell me, Mr. Dudley, are you married?

No, no, no, I'm still very single. Oh, really?

That's refreshing.

More punch, please.

You can have as much as you like, and then some.

Oh, she's around.

Where?

Um... Hey, professor, I need to buy... Doc, here she is!

Hey, there.

Hey, Lee.

Give Daddy a big hug.

Are you trying to get freaky? Yeah, just play along. I'll make it worth your

while. So good because you're a doctor.

Mom, she's big.

The way you talked about her, I thought she was much younger.

Yeah, yeah.

Overactive thyroid.

Oh, is that a breast doll? I've been meaning to get one. Can I play with it?

I? Can I? Please?

Um, Lauren, why don't you and Casey go play in her room? Yeah! That's a good

idea.

Okay. Where's my room?

Don't you remember?

Okay. Come on.

Uh, why don't you have a seat?

Uh, would you like some wine? Sure. I'd love some.

I hope you like Beaujolais.

It's my favorite.

Mine, too.

Here you go.

Here's to, uh... Well, here's to single parenthood.

So, how long have you been single?

All my life.

Well, with the exception of that one week, but she's in jail for trying to

So that's Kaylee's mom?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I can't stand Kaylee's mom. I just left with her because I was drunk.

Oh, mama, look at the time.

What's her favorite ice cream?

Her favorite food?

Her favorite book?

Her birthday?

Desperate ones?

Just help.

Come on, sweetie.

Weirdo. I really like this big whip.

It's big whip.

Whatever we win, rise and fly.

Next.

Mickey, it's your turn. You want to play?

No, Endell.

We've been playing long enough.

I want to have my interview.

Hey, young people, I need y 'all to hold it down. Some of us are trying to

study. Dang, it's like some funky old feet up in here.

Surprise! I took off my shoes!

You know, I am feeling like, how do you young people say, jiggy?

Are you related to Professor Ogilvie?

Mr. Dudley, can I please get you some coffee, tea, your shoes?

I would really like to get on with my interview.

Oh, pipe down, Miss Parker.

You take things too seriously.

You need to be more like Gertie over here.

No, I'm Mickey Parker.

Oh, more punch. Please, please.

What the heck is going on in here? T, what are you doing? Hey, I'm taking a

brise. Come on. Well, I might as well.

Can't study with all this music anywhere.

Where did I go wrong?

What about your interview?

Out. Don't worry. Don't worry. We can shake a tail feather in my hotel and

the room when we're done.

Good. Don't forget the punch.

I can kiss that scholarship goodbye.

Yeah, but that party was off the hook.

Hello, Miss Parker. May I talk to you in private?

Uh, sure.

Thank you.

Mr. Dudley, about last night, I can explain.

If you just give me a couple days to think of something.

No need, Miss Parker. I want to apologize for my behavior last night. I

know what got into me.

I do.

Too much punch.

Way too much.

Anyway, I would like the chance to start the interview process over, if you

could forgive my atrocious behavior.

Oh, it's all right, Mr. Dudley. We all have to get buck wild every now and

Thank you.

Okay. Oh, and one more thing.

I told Gertie I left town.

I bet that's your plan.

You're right.

Let me just get my wallet.

Wait a minute. You take the... Oh, I'm sorry.

You guys still in love with me? No.

Were you asking with me? Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, good.

Thank you.

How did you not talk about the line I'm supposed to be saying? Yeah.
