Hm, I can't, I-I can't believe her husband

let her out the house looking like that.

Eleanor, you're still on the phone?

I've been trying to reach you for over an hour.

Just a moment. I'm sorry, baby, but this is important business.

So, anyway, mama...

I told that child you cannot wear high heels in white uniform

and black stockings and call yourself a nurse.

Eleanor, who's paying for this call?

Yeah, mama, I gotta go. Okay, bye bye.

How many times have I told you the phone

is not to be used for gossip?

Roc, either I call my mama once a week

or she comes here and spends a week.

Well, then the next time you call her, tell her I said, hi.

Roc, the only reason I called mama was to tell her

that Matty is announcing her recommendation

for that head of nurse position at the end of this week.

I'm a little nervous.

Oh, no need for you to be nervous.

You'll make a great head nurse.

You know, you always prescribe the right medicine for me.

By the way, I've got a little pain right here under my nose.

Let me see.

Yeah, I think, we caught it just in time.

- Heal me, baby. - Yes.

- Heal me. - Hey, hey, family.

- Loves of my life. - Oh, Joey!

How come whenever we get close, you come around?

I know your routine, Roc. Come home from work.

Kiss your wife, eat.

- So, when do we eat? - 'Oh.'

Which reminds me, does anybody know where dad...

...if daddy is eating at home tonight?

No, he is not, but if you make enough for four

I guarantee there'll be no leftovers.

If you make enough for two, I guarantee you, no Joey.

What I meant was pop would probably wanna eat some

when he comes back from his date with Matty.

Daddy's not out with Matty.

Matty told me she hasn't seen daddy in two weeks.

- What? - 'What?'

Well, maybe he's there at the center.

No, pop's been getting too dressed up to go to the center.

Well, I wonder where daddy been going then?

Well, now, Eleanor, the man is 62 years old.

You know, he's probably spending a quiet evening with his friends

you know, playing dominoes.

Let's see now. I gotta go on the rounds.

I gotta make out the new nurses schedule

at the end of the next week.

I gotta check on Mr. Morrison intensive care.

By the time I get this promotion

Me and Mr. Morris are gonna be roommates.

Come on, baby, don't get so worked up over this promotion.

Yes, yes, come on, don't be so hard on yourself, you know.

You know, you gotta learn how to deal with

job related stress like I do.

Joey, what the hell do you know about job related stress?

I've been laying around this house for the last two years

watching you, Roc. That's what I know.

♪ Pa pa ra dee dee dee ♪

- Mornin', daddy. - Hey, pop.

You're in a good mood this morning.

Of course, I am.

I finally learned how to do the vogue.

Strike a pose. Hey.

So, daddy, they must be teaching you all the latest dances

down there at the Senior Center, huh?

Look, I'm glad everybody's here.

There's no sense in me keeping this thing to myself any longer.

What thing, daddy?

Well, if you could all join me in the living room...

- Oh-oh. - What we got here?

Mm-hm.

- Here you are, my love. - Thank you.

Well, everybody. This is Crystal.

- Hey. - Crystal, this is my son, Joey.

'My daughter-in-law, Eleanor. And that's my eldest son, Roc.'

Uh, he can also breath through his nose.

Well, uh, huh...

Um. I-I know we could use, uh, some coffee, um...

I-I-I want some coffee, um. Uh, you want some coffee?

- I already have coffee. - Me too.

Um, uh, yeah. I-I-I'll get some coffee.

You should have seen him when he was addicted to Ovaltine.

It's a real pleasure to meet you, Crystal.

It's nice to meet you. Thank you.

Uh, yeah, uh, Roc's been gone, what a whole ten seconds.

Let me see what's keeping him.

Man, that's like something out of the twilight zone, Roc.

You see it too?

Uh, maybe. What, what do you see?

I mean, this Crystal looks exactly like mom.

Mom. Twenty years ago. It's like...

It's like she just come back.

We gotta talk to pop about this.

- Pop, coffee's ready, can you-- - Joey, wait. Stop, stop.

What-what are we gonna do, huh? Ground him?

Send him to bed without dinner?

Make him cut his own switch?

Alright, alright, alright. Maybe, maybe I'm tripping

about pop dating... mom.

You know when I was a kid, I used to

climb in bed between them.

Guess I won't be able to do that now.

So. So, Crystal, um, how did you come to meet daddy?

- Oh, it's the funniest thing. - Yeah.

I was volunteering at the Senior Center and I saw Andrew.

There he was in that thoughtful pose of his

huddled over the Parcheesi board.

Yeah. Crystal walked over and asked

if anybody needed a back rub. And what can I say.

She found out that great MacDaddy was in the house.

I mean, come on Roc. T-the man's my father, y'know, I mean...

It's j-just don't seem right for my father to be dating mom.

Yeah, yeah, alright, you know, Joey. Are you upset, Joey?

Because pop's dating this young, beautiful woman and you're not.

Don't talk about my mama like that.

Well, let's hear it.

You two stormed out of there like a couple of second graders.

And I know it's because I'm dating a younger woman.

Well, look, pop, you know, y-you know...

Well, you seem to be happy, so, um...

- You know I'm happy for you. - Oh, thank you, Roc.

- Joey. - Look, pop...

I don't like the idea of you dating mom.

- What are you talking about? - Come on, pop.

Now, y-you know, the only reason why you're dating that girl

Crystal 'cause she looks like mom.

What?

Son, as they say down at the club

"You must be tripping."

- Oh, it's true. - Really?

Daddy, Crystal and I were just getting acquainted.

Eleanor didn't know you were such a big fan of Sir Mix-a-lot.

Yeah, daddy, I-I didn't know

you were such a big fan of hip hop music.

Oh, come on, Eleanor. You seen my record collection.

Daddy, they don't make records no more.

Did I ask you for the history of recorded music?

Guess I better go get me some coffee.

Your family sure drinks a lot of coffee.

Well, I better be going.

- Um... Crystal. - Hm.

- Am I gonna see you later? - Uh, definitely.

Hip hop hurray.

♪ Da da bum ba dah ♪

Ooh. Gotta get to work. Gotta get to work.

Roc! Joey!

Please come down here right now, please.

Hey, alright, alright, alright, what's the problem, sis?

What's going on?

I wanna know who up in here

put their red shirt in the washer with the white clothes?

Well, let's take a look here.

Muhammad Ali T-shirt, X-extra Large.

Hm, who could it be? Watson?

This is just great. They're gonna decide on who gets

the promotion this week and I show up to work

looking like a candy stripe on.

Alright. Alright, sis, look.

There's a hospital supply store on your way to work, okay.

Why don't you just go ahead and spend the money.

Yeah, yeah, that's good, Joey. Thanks. Spend the money.

You know, all them years I've been married to Roc.

He has never put those three words together.

"Spend the money."

- Oh, hi, Matty. - Hi, Eleanor. Is Andrew home?

Hi, Joey.

- Matty. - Hi, Andrew.

Oh, I wasn't expecting you.

Well, I haven't seen you in a while.

So I thought I just stopped by and see how you were.

Oh, I'm fine.

Uh, listen, Matty, I've been meaning to call you

but I've been real busy.

Well, I've got a little time to kill and we haven't, uh

taken a walk in the park in a while.

That's sounds real nice, but now is a bad time.

I was on my way out.

- I could come back tonight-- - I already have plans.

I'll call you.

Oh. Okay. Well, uh, I guess I better not hold you up.

There's, uh, building full of sick people waiting for me.

Matty, they're in good hands and, and I'll see you soon.

I, uh, gotta do a little shopping before I come to work.

Daddy, I cannot believe the way

in which you just behaved towards Matty.

Well, I already have plans, Eleanor.

What was I to say?

You were supposed to say, Matty, stop me before I make a fool

of myself with this woman that looks like Joey's mother.

Daddy, that's no way to treat somebody that's been close

to you, and who obviously cares about you.

No, sis. You're missing the whole point.

Listen, pop. I absolutely forbid you to date mom.

Alright, but I think it's a bad idea.

Sis, what we gonna do about him?

Joey, listen.

All this partying and music and hip hoppin'

that's not daddy. I know daddy.

At some point, daddy's gonna try to turn Crystal into Loretta.

And when that doesn't work...

Well, sis, I think you need to

cut back on watching them soap operas.

"Roc Live" will be right back.

Go, Andy! Go, Andy! Go, Andy! Go, Andy! Go, Andy! Go, Andy!

Go, Andy! Go, Andy! Go, Andy! Go, Andy! Go, Andy! Go, Andy!

- You alright? - Oh, me?

Oh, yeah. I just don't wanna show up the regulars.

Oh, you know, Andrew

I have such a good time when I'm out with you.

You are loco.. You are locomotion on that dance floor.

Yeah, I'm all that.

You know, honey, I've been thinking, next weekend

instead of coming here, why don't we take a nice romantic

train ride up to New York.

Andrew, that is so sweet.

- You know what's even better? - What?

There's a party train that goes to Miami, the first weekend

of every month. Think of it, two days of non-stop party.

Uh, I was thinking more along the line to just you and me.

Now, you have to admit, New York is a lot more

romantic than Miami.

Oh. It sure is. The city that never sleeps.

And neither will we.

And maybe, when we get there, we can take a nice afternoon

stroll to Central Park.

Or we could rent some rollerblades.

- Ah, no. Crystal, see-- - Crystal. Andy.

- What's up, Rob? - What's hap.. You got it.

You guys were throwin' down out on the dance floor.

You mean, Andy was throwing down.

It was so special about him. He just loves to party.

Cool, then maybe you're interested in this new

after hours party happening over in Utah.

Hey, they gonna be partying all night.

- Is that cool. You down? - Sounds great.

I tell you what. Here's the address.

- Thanks. - See you there. Come on, baby.

Who's this? Looks like me.

Uh, just someone I knew a long time ago.

She's nothing at all like you.

You wait till he gets home, right?

He got a whole lot of nerve keeping his kids up like this.

A whole bunch of nerds.

It's about time too... Shh, shh.

Oh. Now, I know why they call it hip hop.

You need crutches when you're through.

Oh.

Sure wish, we had a ramp.

Oh, God.

Aah.

Loretta.

Loretta, I always knew you were looking over my shoulder.

How long have you been looking over my shoulder?

Now if you've come all the way down here

to tell me what a fool I've been with Crystal

well, you wasted a trip.

'I already know.'

There's no replacing you.

Guess which one of your boys picked up that piece of junk.

'You can take that with you if you want to.'

'Loretta.'

Am I ever gonna find anybody who enjoys

train rides and walks in the park, the way you did?

Hey, pop, you up, huh? Fell asleep on the couch, ha ha.

Was there somebody else just in here?

Like who?

Nah! If I told you, you'd pad my room.

There. Good as new.

I hope she kept the receipt for that uniform she just bought.

Eh, so where's Crystal? I thought you'd be with her.

Oh, I sent Crystal on a party with her friends.

Why didn't you go with her?

Roc, do you remember that electric train we bought you?

- Yeah, ha ha, sure. Why? - You loved that train.

Yeah, I sure did.

And whenever I played with it

always imagined Joey was tied to the tracks.

Do you remember when it broke we got you a new one?

It looked exactly like the old one.

But somehow, it just wasn't the same.

Oh, pop, are you talking about this thing with Crystal and mom?

Roc, there comes a time in a man's life

when he needs to let go of the past and move on.

If he doesn't, he's gonna get lost in that past

and miss out on all the good things in his future.

- So, Roc... - Hm.

Son, quit being so cheap

and let your wife keep that new uniform.

There's nothing wrong with this uniform.

I put the stain in it, I can take it out!

She can wear this down... It's just a new design.

'Dr. Burroughs, please call 125-West, Dr. Burroughs.'

Excuse me, miss.

Why does this hospital smell like fresh baked peach cobbler?

Because there's a man standing in front of me

who clearly plans to choke down some crow.

And I imagine the peach cobbler

is to aid in the digestive process.

It's from Noel's.

Well, my favorite restaurant. How thoughtful.

Matty, I lied to you.

You mean the night you brushed me aside

to go hip hopping along with your posse?

Matty, I've been lying to you ever since I've known you.

You thought you had all of me but a part of me

was still in the past.

You're talking about Loretta, aren't you?

From now on, I'm only talking about us.

I want to make our relationship work.

I miss our walks in the park and our quiet evenings at home.

So do I, Andrew.

But now I need to get back to work.

I don't want to get fired before I retire.

'Dr. Graham, admitting desk, please. Dr. Graham.'

Okay. I'll call ya.

No, um, I'll call you.

Don't you dare go away, there's more "Roc Live"

after these messages.

Hey, Roc, Roc, Roc, hear the good news?

- What? - Pop dumped, uh, mom.

Now I can finally get some sleep at night.

Well, great. No you can stop sleeping in the daytime

and get back to work.

Uh, well, let's not go crazy, alright?

- What? - I got the promotion.

You got, you got the promotion?
