All right, Mazzi, sit up straight, shoulders back,

and focus.

On the piano.

It's easier to play that way.

Oh, you are so funny, Miss Karen.

Thank you.

Now... on my count.

That was incredible, Mazzi.

It... It's like the music took over

and you were transported someplace else.

What inspired that performance?

You, Miss Karen.

You inspire me.

Then that means I'm doing my job.

Don't tell anyone,

but I'm pretty sure you're my favorite student.

And you're my favorite music teacher!

I thought I was your only music teacher.

Unless you're seeing another music teacher behind my back?

Never... I'm a one-teacher man.

Good to know.

Your lesson is over.

I'd like you to look at the concerto for next time.

Jade, get off your phone and finish your homework.

I am doing my homework.

On your phone?

Yes.

You kids and your technology.

Hey, I gotta go.

- Hey, honey. - Hey.

Are you gonna work out again?

Yeah, I'm getting ready for my tryout with the Falcons.

Well, are you sure your body can handle a grueling football season?

Uh... This body can handle anything.

Except dairy.

- We know. - We know.

Mm-hmm.

- You think I'm ready for Tchaikovsky? - I know you are.

I won't let you down, Miss Karen.

You are such a little gentleman.

Oh, I'm little now, but...

I'm drinking milk.

How'd he do, Karen?

Perfect, as usual.

Sometimes, I think I'm the student and he's the teacher.

Oh, Miss Karen.

You are crazy.

See you next week.

- Bye. - Bye.

He is so crushing on Miss Karen.

Yeah. I wish she was his math teacher.

You know, speaking of math, why do I even have to take trigonometry?

I am never gonna use it in the real world.

Look, honey, I know it's tough,

but as your parent,

it is my job to make sure that you have a good education

so that you can get a good job and, eventually, your own place.

Yeah, somebody's gotta break the cycle.

Hey, family.

- Hey. - Hey, Maybelle.

Amelia, what are you doing on Thursday?

- It depends. - On what?

On what you want.

Look, I got two tickets to a bingo tournament at Faithful Hope,

and Francine canceled on me.

Maybelle, you know I swore off bingo

ever since Dot cheated me out of my winnings.

Besides...

gambling isn't Christian.

Well...

the winner of the tournament gets $5,000.

Did you say $5,000?

Girl, with $5,000, I could buy me some forgiveness.

Oh!

I'll pick you up, girl.

I got it!

- Hey, Miss Karen. - Hey, Mazzi.

- Sorry I'm a little late. - Oh, you're not late.

- You're right on time. - You're right on time.

I'm Karen, Mazzi's music teacher.

I'm Daniel,

uh, but you can call me whatever and whenever you like.

How about I call you a Lyft?

Wow, Mazzi.

I have a lot of students,

and that performance was so...

Cheesy?

I come bearing cheesy delights in case anyone's hungry.

We're good.

Aw! That was sweet of you.

Eat all you like.

It's gouda for you.

That's not funny.

- What are you looking for, Uncle Daniel? - My bad.

I'm looking for my Bible.

I must have left it in here when I hosted Bible study last night.

Youth Bible study.

Because Uncle Daniel loves the kids.

Oh. So you stay prayed up, huh?

Well, in the immortal words of Brother Fat Joe, "All the way up."

The Bible is over there.

Thank you, Brother Mazzi.

My bad.

I'm back.

Good.

- Hey. - Hey.

- How was your tryout? - Well, your man showed up and showed out.

Oh, so you made the team?

Well, I won't know until the coaches talk, but I'm feeling pretty good about it.

Wha...

Moz...

are you hurt?

Oh, it's no big deal. You know my knee acts up sometimes.

But don't worry. I called Dr. Park. He'll stop by tomorrow.

Okay, good. Well, let's get you upstairs and out of those clothes.

Uh, you want me to get in the tub and soak?

Eventually.

I'm both excited and a little terrified.

You should be.

Oh. Oh. Oh.

All right, saints.

Welcome to Brother Davis' Bingo Bonanza,

where the winning is in the cards.

And don't forget to patronize our newest vendor,

Lisa's Plus Size Hats.

You got a big head, she's got a big hat. You should check her out.

Brother Davis is always putting people on blast.

Well, if the hat fits.

I can't believe you got me up in here playing bingo at Faithful Hope.

I heard this place is so nasty, the baptizing pool got a ring around it.

B-14.

As in, "Brother Barry's Buick

better not be in my parking spot."

Fourteen.

I got it! I got it!

I don't.

Why do you play with two cards when you can only handle one?

I am doubling my chances of winning.

There's nothing wrong with trying your luck.

Well, I don't believe in luck.

I believe in prayer, the word,

and Alex Trebek.

G-53.

As in, "Bill,

I'll pay you back when I get it,

so stop sweatin' me!"

G-53! I got it!

Ooh! Me too!

I-16.

As I said...

"I ain't got it, so chill, Bill."

Sixteen?

Did he say, "I-16"?

I got it!

Then say it!

Bingo!

Oh, so, what do I win?

The first round's worth $500.

Five hundred dollars will make you holla!

Woo!

Oh! Oh! No, no, no!

Could you give it to me in ones? 'Cause I wanna roll around in it!

Hey. Does this look sexy?

No.

Girl, you don't know nothing.

You are so far ahead, Mazzi.

That doesn't mean you'll stop coming, does it?

Long time no see.

It's been 20 minutes.

Which happened to be the longest 20 minutes of my life.

You are so funny.

Yeah, funny-looking.

Now, all that playing must have made you hungry.

How about I take you out for dinner so we can help rectify that situation?

There's food here.

Come on, young player.

A real lady needs a real meal, not some Lunchable.

Uh, I can't. I have another student.

Oh, then we'll do a rain check.

According to M'Dear,

those are the only checks he doesn't bounce.

My nephew got jokes.

I gotta go.

Get my number from Mazzi. We'll talk.

Okay. We'll talk.

We'll talk.

So, Mazzi, do you want to text me or AirDrop me...

Get off me, little man!

- Get him off me! - Hey!

- Hey, Mazzi! Get off him! - Get off of me!

Get off! Mazzi, get... No!

When did you get bit by a radioactive spider?

- Mazzi, what is wrong with you? - He knows what's wrong!

Boy, you're lucky I don't hit kids with people looking.

No! Hey, Uncle Daniel, give us a minute.

Okay. But keep that Tasmanian devil away!

- I swear. I swear. I swear. - I'm... I'm trying!

I thought you were a lover, not a fighter.

When it comes to my love, I'll fight to the death.

Mazzi,

you can't be with Miss Karen.

Why not?

She's pretty. She's smart. She's funny. She's talented. She's...

Three times your age.

Two, three... Who's counting?

A judge.

Mazzi, what do you expect?

You think she's gonna wait for you to finish school?

Go to college?

Learn how to drive?

But I love her.

And I'm sure she loves you, too.

As a student.

Mazzi, when you get older,

you are going to meet lots of exceptional women.

And they'll be crazy about you,

because you're gonna be an exceptional man.

You're already an exceptional brother.

And an exceptional nephew.

My bad. Sorry for stepping on your toes.

Sorry for stepping on your face.

I didn't know how deeply you felt for Karen.

I'll break off our date.

- Blood is thicker than water, right? - You don't have to.

Oh, I know I don't, but... I will.

Besides, there are plenty of lucky ladies who would love to get with your uncle.

Tsk.

Let's just agree to disagree.

Who'd have thought when we were at TCU that you'd become the Falcons' doctor?

I mean, you barely went to class, and you were afraid of needles.

I'm afraid of needles sticking into me. I'm fine doing the sticking.

A warning would have been nice.

That cortisone works miracles.

- My knee already feels a lot better. - That's what it does.

Two weeks, you won't feel anything.

When you retired, I never thought we'd be doing this again. What happened?

Are you ear-hustling on Dad?

Of course not.

I was, uh...

thinking about painting the fence.

- What color? - Shh!

What are you, the fence police? Just be quiet so I can hear.

Sounds good.

Thanks for the opportunity. All right.

That was the Falcons' head coach. I made the team.

You don't seem too excited about it.

I'm excited about being able to take care of my family.

Let's set up a schedule for the shots every six weeks during the season.

Moz, you know that the cortisone only masks the pain?

Your knee is still compromised. A direct hit on it could be debilitating.

They can't hit what they can't see.

You're not that fast.

Try to hand me a bill, see what happens.

Don't do it. Don't... Okay.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Stop. Stop it. Stop. My knee! My knee!

Hey!

Hey, you.

- I thought you were gonna call me. - Yeah, uh, about that.

It's probably not a good idea.

Mazzi has a huge crush on you,

and it would break his Cap'n Crunch-eating heart.

So, we're not gonna hang out because you don't wanna hurt his feelings?

Yep.

Oh, and I know what you're thinking. I'm a great uncle.

- What kind of fool do you take me for? - Huh? Say what?

That excuse is really thin. Did somebody tell you I have five kids?

Five?

Well, did... did you google me and find out about my felony?

- Because I can explain. - No, no, no, no.

You don't have to. Look, I... I'm late for work.

Stop lying!

Mazzi told me you didn't have a job, and I did not judge you.

Uh, please, Karen. Look, I... I better go.

Oh, so... so... now I'm not your type?

The problem is you're exactly my type.

That's why I gotta go!

Daniel, I...

Another winner? Pay the man.

And while you're over there, remind him that he owes me $20.

Amelia!

I had to take an Uber over here. How could you go and leave me like that?

Because you were taking too long. I had to get here and get my lucky seat.

- Oh, so now you got a lucky seat. - Mm-hmm.

- What are you wearing? - Oh!

It's fly, ain't it?

I made it. I would have made you one, but you couldn't pull this off.

Oh, you right about that.

You know, you got your cards all over my space.

Ah! Keep your hands to yourself.

Here we go! G-47.

G-47.

You cannot possibly play all these cards at one time.

- Watch me. - O-63.

O, but you didn't hear me, though. Sixty-three.

O-63!

Woo! Oh, baby!

I got it, and I got it again!

All right, holy folks. This is the speed round.

Blessings go quick. You gotta be fast.

'Cause you know God don't like cheaters,

even if you are related to the pastor.

I-18.

G-53.

- Hold on. Hold on. You're going too fast. - Keep up!

Mess around and get left behind like the people who didn't listen to Noah.

N-35.

Did you say a "N" or an "M"?

Girl, there's no "M" in "bingo."

There's no talking, either.

Wait, wait! Time-out! Time-out!

Did somebody call time-out?

Don't look at me. It was the talking bingo card.

Only the MC can call time-out.

Got it.

My bad. Carry on.

O-72.

I-19.

B-4.

- What? - G-50.

W... W... Wait! Hold on!

Did you say "B-4" or "before"?

Because I was just thinking, if you said "before," before what?

What I'm saying is it's... it's... it's too confusing.

Please... Shh!

Who are you shushing?

My daddy never even shushed me.

Yes, he did.

But he ain't my dad.

And if I was, you would have some manners.

Oh, Lord.

"Oh, Lord" is right.

Young man, you'd better watch your mouth and respect your elders,

'cause I'm almost old enough to be your big sister.

I'm on to your stalling tactics.

I am not stalling. I'm ready!

One more interruption and you will be disqualified.

Oh! He got such an attitude.

G-47.

Bingo!

I got it! I won!

The game is over! Bingo! Give me my scrilla!

- Amelia. - Huh?

He said "47," not "57."

What?

Oh...

My bad.

That's it. You are out of order.

I am not out of order. You are out of order!

And we all know that that is not grape juice in that cup!

Preach!

I got one more letter for you... Sister McKellan.

"B" gone.

I am confused. "B" gone?

Oh, no, you didn't, see, 'cause I'm gonna have to lay hands on you!

Moz!

You have a visitor.

What's up, babe? Whoa!

If it isn't NFL legend, Willie "Fastest Man in the World" Gault!

Hey, man.

- It's been a while. - Yeah.

Last time I was in Columbus, cops stopped me for speeding.

Were you pushing that Porsche?

No, I was running, flying.

Good to see you. What brings you to town?

Well, Cocoa tells me you're going back in, and I wanna know why.

Well, it's simple. We need the money.

I had a fortune, but she had four kids, so...

Hey, hey!

Don't make me embarrass you in front of your little friend.

Okay. I'm just playing.

All right. Well, I'm gonna let you two Georgia boys talk.

Thanks, babe.

So, either you're here because you miss me,

or Cocoa asked you to talk me outta playing again.

Well, I don't miss you.

You don't think I should get back on the field?

Ah, sure. I think you'll make a heck of a cheerleader.

You have any regrets?

Pfft.

Boy, I wish I had walked away sooner.

Uh, where's your bathroom?

Uh... Past the kitchen, make a left.

Could you pass me that, please?

Uh...

- Thank you. - Are you okay? I mean, what happened?

Playing the game we love happened.

Look, Moz, I had a glorious time playing football.

I mean, I loved the fans and all it afforded my family and I.

The constant pounding, it comes with a price.

My knee has been giving me some trouble.

Look, you gotta ask yourself,

when your beautiful girls get married, do you wanna walk them down the aisle,

or do you wanna wheel yourself?

Aw!

Mazzi looks so peaceful.

Yeah.

Hard to believe he almost killed Daniel.

Mm.

I can't believe Willie Gault flew here to talk to me.

He's a fan.

I hate to see him struggling like that.

Well, I hate to see you struggling like that.

Yeah.

Cocoa, I decided to turn down the Falcons' offer.

Good.

Honey, we're gonna be okay, all right?

- As long as I got you, I know we will. - You wanna put Mazzi in his bed?

Yep. After we raid the fridge.

- Oh, yes! - Mm-hmm.

Hey, sleepyhead. You have another dream about Miss Karen?

It was a nightmare!

Uncle Daniel told me she had a bunch of kids,

and I dreamt she wanted me to be their daddy.

Yeah.

Taking care of a bunch of kids is a nightmare.

- You're telling me. The worst. - Oh, yeah.

Right.

Hey, wait a minute. That was a joke, right?

Mom?

Dad?

I'm not a nightmare. I'm your dream come true, right?
