[music]
Wooo! [clapping]
No, no. I knew I shouldn't have gone out with you two.
-What? -Yeah.
What? It was my bachelor party, Calvin!
Plus, you was up in there makin' it rain.
We had to go out. You're my A one from day one.
Man, you can't even lie, man. It was pretty epic, man.
Yeah, come on. Tell me it ain't feel like old times.
It did.
Tell me it ain't feel like old times, you know.
We know you know how to do that thing like,
a few times a week, man.
Got me feelin' reenergized, yeah.
[Calvin] No, mm-mm.
Hold on, hold on. Time out, P. Time out.
The thing is we finsta to get married, okay?
So all this, our partying with the thicky, thicky thighs
to the late, late night to the breaka, breaka dawn.
Those days is um--
Those days are about over for me and Calvin.
Whoa, whoa, not almost over. They are over.
Man, come on. Y'all trippin'. For real like...
Wait a minute.
Is this your password taped to your keyboard?
Yeah.
What? Flag on the play. Technical foul.
Roughin' a player. Calvin, you tryin' to tell me,
your girl can come over here and chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka
get on your computer?
Hey brah, passwords, they supposed to be private.
That's why they called passwords.
Look, I do not mind if Laura has my password.
The true measure of any relationship is faith and trust.
I have nothing to hide.
And why are you on my computer anyway?
I'ma tell you why 'cause if you notice, Peanut ain't
get on nothin' all night. He didn't hook up with not a--
He didn't get not a nary number, so what he likes to do,
he like to come back, get on these websites.
You know that website for the young chicks called "Tinkle"?
They got an old one for the old chicks called "Wrinkle".
That ain't what I'm on.
Nah, nah.
You gotta get up early to get them, they sleep.
But this one he's on right now, the "Gathering Fish"
hookup site.
Oh yeah, man. The night's still young, man.
I'ma make somethin' happen.
Damn!
All right, Calvin. Look, look, look.
No, no, no. I gotta-- I gotta charge my phone.
Laura's probably goin' crazy by now.
Hey man, Laura gotta chill, man. She gotta learn to relax.
She too high strung.
-Hey, hey, hey, hey. -That stacks. She is up here.
No, no, no. She's--she's about to be my wife, all right?
Man, I can't believe both y'all are married.
Y'all done let women trick you into gettin' married?
You done forgot all about the code.
Brah, it's supposed to be bros before hos.
Peanut!
[knocking on door]
Come in! It's open!
-Hey Miranda. -Yep. Come on in.
Close the door.
Junior, what are you doing here?
So Tracey has been trying to call you,
but your phone has been off.
Oh, I went out with Pookie and Peanut.
-Oh Lord. -Hey.
-That means you're drunk. -No, I am not drunk.
I took it easy.
-What's up, little man? -What up, Junior?
Remember the handshake Uncle Pook taught you?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, oh!
-Yep, time for you guys to go. -What? He likes guns!
Why are you always kickin' us out, Calvin?
You know we can't go yet. Me and little man, we gotta get
on this game. I gotta whoop up on him right quick, man.
You're still trying to beat my score, Peanut?
Why you ain't even beat me by that much.
That ain't happenin'!
-Please let me whoop his a-- -Peanut!
-[Calvin] Hey, hey, hey!
-It's one time. One game! -Bye-bye!
Be gone.
Next time, bro, I got you. You're lucky.
You lucky! You lucky I gotta date with Destiny.
That's what you lucky about, boy. Yeah.
Are you being philosophical with him?
No, man. Ecstasy With Destiny. That's the girl I met online.
Okay. All right, then.
This is who you--
She got a friend? She got a friend I can--
-You're getting married! -No, I just wanna smell her!
I'm not gonna touch her!
That's even more weird.
Look, my phone died. I had to charge it.
Is everything okay?
Junior and Tracey got into it.
You know, I really just think she needs a break, Calvin.
And when she couldn't reach you, she called me.
Junior, what did you and your mom get into it about?
-I don't know. -Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, you don't know, Junior? Really?
Tell your father what happened. Go ahead.
Momma asked for her keys. I tossed them to her and
I guess she said I hit her.
Tracey said that Junior threw the keys at her
and hit her in the face.
What?
[music]
[birds chirping]
[airplane lands]
[car horn]
[fireworks]
[traffic]
[ambulance siren]
You threw keys at your mother?
Junior, you got two seconds to answer me!
Yes, but I didn't mean to.
Come on.
Okay, wait, Calvin. Just calm down.
Miranda, I got this. Junior, bring your butt here!
-What's wrong with you? -Just, just--
I was playing a game and she kept on bugging me.
-And I got mad. -You know what? That's it.
You're on punishment. I'm takin' those games
and I'm throwin' them away. You're on 'em too much as it is.
I told your mother that! Go to your room!
[Junior mumbles]
-What? -Nothin'.
-Boy-- -Okay, Calvin! Cal--
Please, please. Just, just calm down.
-What the hell? -I know. I know. I know.
-Calvin! -Hey.
I've been calling you all night.
I know. My phone, it's, it's a--
I can't... I can't.
Oh Lord.
Are you gonna go after her?
Calvin, you have to go after her.
No.
[music]
-Hey sweetheart. -Hey Dad.
So uh...
By the 23rd, what you about to go back to uh, college
in about two weeks, huh?
Oh yeah. They do go back on the 23rd. Yeah, yeah. Two weeks.
They?
Hmm?
You said they.
The University?
Yeah, see, that's what I'm askin'. Um,
how come you're not saying, we go back to school on the 23rd?
Dad, is this your way of asking me if I'm going back to school?
That's exactly what I'm asking.
I'm thinking about it.
What is there to think about?
I don't know what I wanna do yet.
Oh, that damn professor.
Dad, Professor Louis ain't got nothin' to do with this.
No, no. I think he has a lot to with this.
I'm tryin' to figure out what's best for me. Okay? That's it.
You too young to know what's best for you, okay?
That's why you got me and your mom.
And you got your big head brother right there.
Nah, leave me out of this.
No, no. You already in this, sir.
Why am I in it?
Because it involves your younger sister.
Yes, but this is her decision, Dad.
What is there to decide? Going to college is a blessing.
Do you know how many people wish they could go to college?
I know, Dad. I know. I count it as a huge blessing.
Right. So you should wanna make the most of that blessing.
You should turn that into a major opportunity.
Dad, I just don't know yet. Okay?
And I would appreciate it if you didn't pressure me.
Pressure you? Jazzy, whatever you wanna do will be there
waiting for you when you graduate from college.
It depends on what I choose to do.
I mean, she's got a point there, Dad.
I mean, what if she decides to be like a-a rapper
or a trapeze artist?
Who asked you for your opinion?
He's right, Dad. I could decide to be a gymnast.
Or an actress!
You see all those are young people jobs, Dad.
I mean, even you couldn't go out and get some job like that
at your old age.
Whatever. An education will afford you the wisdom and
the credentials to do whatever it is you wanna do in life.
All right, Dad. I hear you.
Where you goin'?
To the Crawford Playhouse. Professor Louis is taking
all of us to see a play, the whole class.
Oh, I went there when I was in school.
You're gonna actually have a good time there.
Thanks Malik. I love y'all.
What's wrong, Dad?
You look like somebody stomped all over your heart.
They did.
Come on. Take it easy, Dad. You know Jazmine's smart.
Not if she drops out of college, she's not.
Look, can I give you some advice?
Are you serious? You're gonna give me some advice?
Yeah 'cause you need it right now.
-Okay Malik. I'll bite. -Look, we all know that Jazmine
is gonna go back to school. But you know how she is.
You have to let her think it's her idea. All you have to do
is act like you support whatever decision she makes.
And then she'll go back and finish school.
-That's good advice. -Exactly. Exactly.
One day you'll really start listening to me.
Yeah. Okay.
[music]
Calvin! Calvin, we need to talk!
Calvin! We need to talk about last night.
Oh.
I am so glad you left your password on your computer.
Mr. I ain't got nothing to hide. Huh, now I'm about to see
what's really going on.
What the--
Ecstasy Is Your Destiny?
Calvin...
I can't believe this.
[music]
-Hey, baby. -Hey, Ma.
-Well, hello there. -Hey, Grandma.
-You okay? -I've felt better.
-Where's Pops? -He's in there.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Not so fast, Junior. Back it up!
Back it all the way up and park it.
Grandma wanna have a word with you.
All right.
Did I hear you huff? I didn't think so.
What is going on with you?
-I got in trouble. -I heard.
And I couldn't believe my ears. I thought your daddy was
telling me some kind of flooky-ooky-ooky tale.
[laughing]
What's so funny?
You look funny, Grandma. Don't do that anymore.
-I'm not laughing, Junior. -I'm sorry.
What has gotten into you?
Fightin' and disrespectin' your mother.
No, no, no. When you do that,
then you're disrespecting me
and this entire family.
Do you understand that?
Yes Ma'am.
Okay, well, what is all of this?
I just be gettin' mad.
Okay. Well, you are gonna have to learn to control that.
And you're gonna learn how to control that today, right now.
'Cause what you don't want is for Grandma to get mad.
Yes Ma'am.
I just feel bad, you know? Uh,
I feel like I haven't been there enough for him.
Tracey, she's doing the best that she can,
but he's got this anger.
I know. I see it. He's definitely angry.
Junior is my responsiblity. You know, I feel like there's
so much I've missed and I feel bad about it.
Yeah, well, you're doing the right thing right now.
You're right. I punished him.
Calvin, I'm not talking about punishing him.
I'm talking about putting the time in with him, son.
Yeah. I promised myself that I would be there
a lot more for him.
Time.
With kids it's all about time. Let him see you.
Let him spend as much time with you as he can.
A young man needs to see a man in order to know how to be one.
And he needs to see you on a regular basis, you heard me.
Yeah, and that way your habits can rub off on him.
Hopefully, only the good ones.
Yeah, I'm just worried that it's too late.
It's not too late, son.
He has the finest father in Atlanta. I'll vouch for that.
-It'll all get better. -Yeah, I hope so.
Yeah. It won't happen over night.
Raising kids is not a sprint, son.
It's a long distance race.
And I keep runnin' for my Lord.
Runnin' and runnin'.
Uh, come on young 'un, you see that? You're not ready for this.
This is too much fire power for you, boi!
Ugh, in your face! Did you see that?
You got no offense, Peanut!
Okay, okay. Watch this next play. Watch this.
Ha! See, you don't want this smoke!
You cheatin'.
Peanut, what are you doing here?
Oh, I just came by to see Calvin and then, you know,
little man started talkin' trash, so I had to run
and pick the game up, so I could whoop his little ass.
Junior, you know you're not supposed to be on this game.
What did your dad say?
That was a couple of days ago.
And I am sure that it is still in effect.
Peanut, get your game and get out
-before you get this boy killed! -Dang. All right, Miranda.
You know how to kill all the fun.
-Peanut, now! Out! -I'm out. I'm out.
Boy, you lucky.
Did you see the score?
We ain't even finished the game.
Peanut, what are you doing here?
Oh, nothin'. I was just gettin' ready to leave.
Junior, where'd you get that game?
Oh, it's-it's mine.
You didn't tell him you were on punishment?
Hey, that's my bad, Calvin. I ain't know. You know.
Boy, you're really trying to play me right now.
-What? -What?
I didn't do nothin'.
Why are you on the game when I told you not to be?
That was the other day.
You know what? Go to your room right now!
I didn't even do nothin'. I don't know.
Not you.
-You get out, Peanut. -Nah, you just--it just sounded.
I know you didn't.
Just breathe, Calvin.
Look, he knows he's not supposed to be on that game.
He's trying me.
Well, you have made your point crystal clear, okay?
Look, I'm just tryin' to get out of here before I cause any more
issues with your fiancee. I just came to get uh, Christian's suit
and then I'm going. Okay?
Yeah, well, there's no more issues to cause.
She's not talking to me.
What do you mean?
Because I brought your son over here?
Apparently.
Now, that's ridiculous.
It's just she gets riled up every time you guys cross paths.
But I have to be here, Calvin. We have a son together.
I know. It's just how often you guys run into each other.
[sighs] All right. Listen.
Calvin, what can I do to help? Because I promise,
I am not trying to cause issues between you and Laura.
Well, maybe you should just drop the boys off at my house
from now on instead.
That's out of the way. I'm on your way home from work.
I know. I know, but... Look, I can't keep causing
these issues in your soon-to-be marriage. I--
I just can't have that on my conscience.
Listen, I'm gonna get Christian's suit
and I'm about to go, okay?
[music]
-Hey, Malik. -What's up?
What's up, baby? Hey, how are you?
-Hey, how was the play? -Malik, it was so good.
-Really? -It was amazing. It like--
-It took my breath away. -Wow. Well, what was it about?
Uh, it was about this woman who had a really hard life.
You know, she was searching for comfort in all the wrong places.
Got addicted to heroin. She almost died.
But there were all these angels in her life
that helped her fight her way back.
It reminded me of mom. Yeah, it was inspiring.
-Hey. -Hey.
-How was the play? -[sighs] It was life changing.
Wow, that's great.
Uh, I wanna talk to you for a second.
Um, I want to uh...
Really just talk to you about me trying to pressure you
into going to college and everything.
Uh, I support you in anything you wanna do.
Really?
Really.
Well, actually, after seeing that play,
I think I wanna do something to help people.
You can't go wrong there.
After everything mom went through I wanna work with
women who have been abused. Or who are fighting addiction.
You know, people write those women off,
but they can make it through
if there's somebody there to love 'em.
Yeah. Listen, that uh-- That warms my heart.
And uh, just makes me proud. Just proud every time I see you.
Dad. Thank you.
So uh, I guess you're gonna be looking for a job in uh--
-In that area, huh? -Uh, one day.
-One day? -Mm-hmm, but for now
I'm going back to school next week to declare my major.
Oh! Okay. Okay.
So what you gonna declare?
I wanna study sociology.
I can't really impact the human condition
if I don't understand it, you know?
Goodnight, y'all. Goodnight, baby.
-What's up? -What you gloatin' about?
I'm just waitin' on my thank you.
-Thank you, son. -You're welcome.
Yeah. You're smarter than you look.
I try.
A lot of other things would be fixed around here
if y'all would listen to me.
[music]
[phone dings]
Letter's at the door?
Weird.
What the hell?
[Laura] Dear Calvin, it hurts my heart to write this to you.
I have been at this place before.
You are not ready for someone like me.
I am calling off our impending marriage.
You need to figure out if you want Miranda, Destiny
or whoever you've been hiding.
Please allow me some time.
Please allow me to go and find my happiness.
What is happening?
What are you doing?
I called Mama. I'm going home.
Boy, I know you better put that bag down and have a seat.
You're staying with me for the rest of the weekend.
No. I'm going home.
Not today you're not.
I don't have to listen to you.
Look, are you serious?
I know you don't wanna do this with me today.
-Whatever, man. -Man? Look...
Junior, I know you better get your butt back here!
[music]
Junior!
