Girl, go ahead and leave him. He is not gonna jump.

Oh, dang.

He must have really loved you.

You see, are you still here?

Dang, girl, don't you and your mama have to cook Thanksgiving dinner for, like,

27 relatives?

It's 24.

Peanut and the twins don't speak to us anymore.

But whatever, you better get home and start snapping beans, gal. Uh -uh, girl,

I'm getting mine to go this year.

Shoot, I'm sick of sitting at the kiddie table.

I'm just waiting on you to get up out of here so I can have the whole suite to

myself for four whole days.

Uh -huh. Uh -huh.

Nancy, you know Q is coming tonight.

We need to spend some private time together.

But, Mo, I need some peace and quiet.

Girl, Q and I are engaged, and we have not seen each other for three months.

It's not hardly going to be quiet up around here.

All right,

I'll see you in the morning.

Oh, I love you too, Daddy.

Got the guest room cleaned up. What guest room?

The room that used to be yours.

This is what I love to come home to.

What? Your wife in the kitchen heating up your dinner?

My wife in the kitchen instead of in Jamaica.

I better, yeah.

My wife in my arms looking good enough to eat.

Hey, get a room.

Why? Every room in the house is ours.

And now when Dee's father gets here... Dorian, you want me to go over that

with you?

Oh, this might be over your head, Auntie. See, I've been working on some

to show Q when he gets here.

Oh, wait just a minute.

Dorian, I was hoping that you'd be working on your college applications

weekend. College?

Please.

I'm going to get a record deal and hit the road right out of high school like Q

did. Checking the season for me.

So,

are you ready to eat? Not anymore.

As soon as Dorian mentioned that boy's name, I lost my appetite.

Frank, honey, come on.

It's not as if you are the first father in history to disapprove of his son -in

-law. Shoot, my father wasn't particularly pleased when I told him I

marrying you.

Arthur didn't like me?

Why? Well, something about you being a tightwad with two spoiled children, a

measly job selling cheap cars, and no prospects for the future.

Was that all?

Uh -uh.

but I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

Yeah, but he feels a lot better about me now, right?

Actually, we don't talk about you much.

Niecy.

Dang, love.

What are you waiting for, a cue or Puff Daddy?

The question is, what are you waiting for? Girl, you said you'd be gone by

Yeah, well, my brother promised to pick me up, but his car won't start.

Well, won't your feet start?

Cute!

my crazy roommate, Niecy. How you doing?

I just came past to drop off kids.

Now I gotta find my own hotel.

Oh, it's on the way to my house. Niecy, the man didn't even say which hotel he's

staying in. It doesn't matter, Q. They all on the way to my house.

Bye.

Nice place you got here.

Thank you.

Where's your room?

I will show you around later. First, let's talk about Thanksgiving dinner.

Snow knee, turkey, football, nap. I know the drill.

I'm actually talking about you and my dad.

Can you wear a suit to dinner?

I wish I would. You just relax.

Me and your pops are cool.

Right. Anyway, there's nothing he can say to keep me from marrying you.

That's Miles. Ah, look at you, growing like a weed.

Pretty soon you'll be as tall as your dad.

Sweetheart, would you go outside and get my dad's bag and bring it upstairs?

Oh, sure.

You, Dorian? Yes.

I've heard a lot about you.

Oh, well, don't believe the hype.

If I did, I would have brought my own security.

So,

Arthur, you're sure looking good.

What, are you surprised?

Deidre, I'm starving.

Have you got anything in this kitchen to feed an old hungry mind?

No, but I can make breakfast for my darling daddy.

Ah, you lovely girl.

So, Arthur, I happen to have bought your favorite drink.

Ginger beer? Not my brand.

Don't they all taste the same? Maybe to a Yankee.

Don't be so grumpy. Frank was just looking out for you.

Ah, I see.

Doran, go on down to the store and get some more ginger beer. What kind? All of

them.

So, Arthur.

Hey.

Oh, we got a lot of good football games on this weekend. We could just park

ourselves on the couch and not get up till Monday.

That brutish display of barbarism is not my idea of sport.

Cricket. Now, there's our game, Monk.

at home, you were golfing twice a week.

Yes, well, it is nice to tee off first thing in the morning and walk across the

cool grass and watch the sunrise.

Oh, well, I'll just make sure we get an early tee time for tomorrow.

Play golf in this California smog? Are you crazy?

Yes, if you don't mind, I'll just spend time with me lovely daughter.

Oh.

Why?

Hey, Mo, would you come back here for a minute? Baby, no, that's not going to

work again. I need to take a shower so we can eat.

Need somebody to help you wash your back?

No, not if we're trying to get out of here.

No, dear.

Yes, Mo?

not you. That's right. What's up? What's up?

You gonna go propose to my girl and ask me what's up?

Look, I'm sorry if you got hurt, but she's a grown woman.

She made her choice.

We're in love. If you're so in love, man, then why has she been hiding it?

Well, if she hid it from you, it's because she figured you couldn't handle

Handle what?

Oh, the fact that she got mad at me and you swooped her up on the rebound?

Call it what you want. Call it what it is, homeboy.

This is the best day ever.

Rolling in the flower district, strolling down Merrill, eating lunch in

Chinatown. I felt like I was on my honeymoon.

So where are we going for the room? Girl, anywhere you want.

Like I told you, I'm producing this new group, right?

And they are hot. And when that CD drops, they're going to blow up.

You producing now?

Go ahead, baby.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Okay. Sit down.

I spent all my money in studio time.

Putting them up in hotels, feeding them.

These guys need so much, their last name should be Klump.

Anyway, I'm broke now.

The studios, they won't release the masses until I pay them what I owe them.

Cute. I wish there was something I could do.

I know there is.

I was thinking maybe you could let me hold your engagement ring for a minute.

Hold it?

Hold it how?

I'm talking about selling it to pay up the studio.

Yeah, but when my group blows up, I get you one twice as big.

Baby, I don't think so. This ring is a symbol of our love and commitment.

And giving it up won't change how we feel about each other.

Can't you ask your father for some money?

Try that.

I just don't have enough.

That ring is the most expensive thing we own.

We?

I'm sure you know what I mean.

What are we going to do?

So, I was thinking after dinner tomorrow, we could go to this new club.

And then on Friday, oh yeah, we can go to the beach and the Wayans Brothers has

this new movie coming out. Hold on, hold on.

It's really nice of you to show me around and everything, but I do have my

things to take care of.

You do?

Of course.

Like what?

be so insensitive.

What happened, Mom?

Q wants my ring back so he can finance some new group.

But that ring is an everlasting symbol of your eternal love.

Yeah, that's right, girl.

Don't give him that ring back.

Shoot.

See, Q is trying to invest in the future.

Our future.

And if I keep the ring, it'll just look like I'm being selfish.

Yeah, plus if the group blows up, you're gonna feel real moated.

Thank you, Missy. Look, I might have a way I can help you out.

For real?

Of course. Just tell Q I'll lend him the money.

You will?

Yeah, I'll do that. Thank you, Khalid. You're welcome. Thank you, thank you,

thank you. Wait, wait, Ramon. Not so fast, okay? Now, Q is too proud to take

loan. Look, if it's a problem, I'll just give him the money as an investment,

you know? I've heard his group.

They're tight.

You know, I'll just take a percentage of the group, and we'll be partners.

That is the perfect solution. Thank you, Khalid.

All right.

Can you come to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow?

That way when I tell Q, you can be there to work out all the details.

Cool. Okay.

Okay, but after that, we're still going clubbing, right, Pookie?

Dang, I thought I had you.

It's the first time you played.

You'll get better.

I guess these old school games are kind of fun.

Is Street Fighter an old school game?

You play video games?

Do the Williams sisters play tennis?

Then it's on.

It's not on until you help Dee finish setting that table.

Ah, saved by the bell.

All right.

Fine son you got there, Frank.

You want it?

But seriously, Arthur, I'm really glad that you're getting along so well with

the family.

You know, Dee told me you had some reservations before we got married.

Not just before.

It took me a while to get used to the situation.

And to you.

Well, now I know how you feel.

Moesha's fiancée is coming to dinner tonight.

Ah, the shoe is tighter when it's on the other foot, eh?

Well, if they do end up getting married, I just hope that I can come to accept

him the way you've come to accept me.

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

All right, I know where you're going with this, Arthur.

I should have supported Demore when she first got the job offer, but trust me,

we're working through this. I hope so.

I never understand why you let your wife leave her home.

What? I mean, no self -respecting man would allow his wife to take a job so

away. Look at you. You bring home the bacon and the groceries.

Now, listen, Arthur, I'm beginning to wonder in this family,

Who wears the pants and who wears the panties.

I'm not believing this.

I'm supporting your daughter while she pursues a very important career.

She had a career here.

My daughter is a very strong woman, Frank. She needs a strong man to remind

of her responsibilities.

Now, you're wrong, Arthur.

Now, I am strong enough to share the responsibilities of this household with

wife. And I'm strong enough to handle a long -distance marriage.

And I'm strong enough to tell my father -in -law that if he can't respect me in

my house, he can leave.

You're throwing me out.

That's up to you.

Well, maybe you do wear the pants in this family.

Pour me a ginger beer and let us watch some of your beloved football.

You're going to have to wait until I put away the groceries.

I've got it on.

Oh, hello, Quentin. Hey, Mr. Mitchell.

Want something to drink?

Indeed. Come on in.

Quentin, this is my father -in -law, Mr. Arthur Loving. Sir?

Fine, sir.

Are these for Mrs. Mitchell?

No. This is for you.

Oh, Quentin, I don't drink.

It's a good thing. You'd be in a lot of trouble if you tried to drink that.

Hot sauce?

Just in case you don't like chocolate.

Oh, well, how thoughtful.

I'll just take this in the kitchen. Why don't you have a seat? Cool.

Arthur. Yeah.

Would you care to join me? All right, yeah, sure.

You're right,

Frank.

He's worse than you.

You have my sympathy.

Hey, Q.

Hey, what's up, man?

Hey, good to finally meet you.

Brother -in -law? Oh, you must be Dorian. Yeah.

What's up?

What's up? Where's Mo?

Upstairs in the mirror.

She'll be down in a couple hours.

Gotta give us a chance to talk.

Sit down.

What's up?

See, I've been working on some tracks, right?

And they tight.

So I need to know how I can get people to listen to them. What labels to go to.

What clubs to hang out in. Who to pay off. Slow down.

I'll tell you everything I can, all right? All right.

When you get your demos, first you gotta make sure you get them to the right

record labels.

Kaleeb, what are you doing here? I ran in the mall. They're writing me over.

What's up, man?

Well, welcome, man.

Hey, your last single was banging.

Thanks, man. For sure.

Hey, look, I'm trying to do what you do. And I could use some advice, man. I

don't have anybody to talk to.

Like, how I could get people to listen to my tracks? What labels to go to? What

club should I hang out in? Who should I pay off? Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Don't be so anxious, man.

It'll happen.

All right.

I got a demo in the back. You want to hear it?

You're not going to leave me alone, are you? Nah.

Come on. Let's do this, man.

Khalid.

Happy Thanksgiving, baby.

You too.

You sure look happier than you did last night. That's because I found a way to

pay off your studio bills and still keep my ring.

You hit Lotto?

No. I was talking to Khalid last night, and I explained to him everything that

was going on with us.

and he offered to lend you the money.

Nisi thought you might not take a loan, so he said you can consider the money as

an investment.

Isn't that great?

What the hell were you thinking?

I was thinking that we had a problem, and I just got us a solution.

Yeah, but how could you invite another man into our business, especially

who's trying to get with you? Baby, you know I don't care about him.

I only care about us. So why'd you bring it up with him? Because I was trying to

help out my future husband. That's why. Well, if you was trying to do that, you

would have gave me the stupid ring yesterday with no resistance.

Q, it's not a stupid ring.

It means something to me.

It's a symbol of our commitment.

Commitment?

That's a symbol of your materialism.

Oh, so I'm materialistic just because I'm not willing to put everything behind

your pipe dream?

I'm dreaming now?

Why are we arguing?

Why are we arguing?

Colleen found a way so we both can get what we want. You can get your loan.

You're in a discussion.

Did you just cut me off? Yeah.

What do you want more, me or the ring?

Why don't I just give you what you want?

Look, I know you're upset right now, but I promise you, this is going to be one

of those things we can just look back on and laugh at.

Bye, Quinn.

My mom made a pie for your dad.

Yeah, I spoke to your fiancé yesterday.

I don't have a fiancé anymore.

What?

What happened, Mom?

He wanted to sell my ring.

to pay off some bills, and so I ranked to borrow the money from one of his

friends.

And you're sure that's the whole story?

What do you mean?

I mean, well, I mean, I know my hard -headed friend, Moesha.

I mean, if she really wanted to marry Q, she'd do it.

Ring or no ring.

So what, do you just think I was just looking for a reason to break up?

I don't know, Moesha.

I mean, maybe he was.

You going to be all right?

All right, well, you go back inside.

When Lizzie and her friends enter the school factathlon.

They have to be completely folk.

Completely folk. They face some stiff competition.

Jackson. Missouri Compromise. Ring -tailed lemur. Uh -oh. Lizzie McGuire.
