Hey, everybody.

Hey, Black people.

- Dwayne. - Hey!

She's having my baby.

- All right, Dwayne! - Hey, thank you.

Congratulations.

Velma will start knitting the baby a wardrobe tonight.

Okay.

And don't let her get started with that bedazzler gizmo.

Your baby will wear more rhinestones than Lola Falana.

Just think, man, five years ago, you were a scrawny little sophomore

running away from responsibility.

Now look at you, man!

You're married and about to have a baby.

Congratulations.

- Still scrawny. - Not for long.

I'mma gain as much weight as my wife, pound for pound.

- Oh, no. Don't make that promise. - Don't do it.

By the end, Velma's feet were so swollen,

I had to buy her a pair of clown shoes.

No, no. And they was tight.

- She's having my baby. - We know!

Yes, but what you don't know

is that this beautiful woman has agreed to be my wife.

Kimmie!

Dwayne, we're flying back from Japan for this.

- Yes. - You promise. Don't go cheap on me.

Yes, I promise.

- Japan? - Yes, Kineshewa offered me a job.

- Eighty grand. - Eighty grand?

Well, bye, Dwayne.

Japan? That's so far away.

I know, Kimmie.

But we can talk on the phone for three minutes,

for nine million dollars.

- Or I'll write you. - And visit.

We'll come to Japan and y'all can come to Jamaica.

Now, listen Shabba Ranks.

Now, you're getting a gem.

A precious gem.

You better treat her right.

- Amen. - You tell him.

Did you tell your parents?

Our mothers are coming to help us pack in a few days, and�

- We haven't told them about the baby. - They'll want to deliver it.

When are you gonna tell them?

When the baby turns 18.

Hi, honey.

Ron.

Ron.

Ron!

- Hi, baby. - Hi.

I'm glad you're here.

I need your advice.

You can start by giving Super Fly his furniture back.

- That's not funny. - I'm sorry.

- Mm. - Hi, baby.

- Baby, my day was a mess. - Really?

I met the faculty member of the Law Journal Board. Guess what?

The man loves Clarence Thomas. He thinks he's a genius.

And your problem would be?

My sample article, baby.

"Clarence Thomas, he's just no Thurgood." It's a suicide mission.

Then write about something else.

If I change my topic, it's unprincipled, don't you think?

Not if you get what you want.

Sweetie, I'm suing Dwayne Wayne.

Don't be so silly, little baby.

I fail to see the humor in this.

What is this about?

That Grammar Boy idea

that's gonna rock the sentence structure to its foundations?

No, it's not the Grammar Boy idea. It was my idea.

It was my idea!

It was mine! Mine!

Mine! Mine!

You have gone crazy.

You're talking about suing your best friend.

He's my ex-best friend.

This is about principle, something you're supposed to be big on.

I am when it's a principle that counts.

You're fighting out of greed.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't you run back to your pinhead law school friends

and you guys can have a good time arguing over contracts and tarts�

Torts! The word is torts!

You should go back to dating tarts. At least they don't talk back.

You know, now I know why I like kissing you so much.

Because it's the only time that you shut up!

Now I know why I was dating you.

I was doing research on the Stone Age.

You little homo habilis.

Oh, no. Don't question my sexuality, baby.

? Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah Someone's in the kitchen� ?

Chipmunk!

Or should I call you Richmunk?

It's my favorite son-in-law.

What a difference a dime makes, Mama.

Oh, darling, don't be so mean.

We're just all so excited about this new opportunity.

Will there be anything else, Mrs. Gilbert?

No, Antonio, thank you so much.

Just wait in the car, please.

Hm. You better wear that uniform, sugar.

Or don't.

We came all dressed to start packing.

No. But before we start packing,

- let's do a toast to the kids. - All right.

- Bring out the bubbly, Marion. - Indeed.

- I can't have alcohol. - What do you mean?

- I have something to tell you. - What's wrong? You born again?

No, but you're warm.

- She's expecting. - Expecting what?

You mean, you're having a baby?

Miss Thing is about to have an itty-bitty little thing? Aw!

Honey. Oh, gosh!

- Oh, my God. - A baby!

Oh, my! Good gracious!

I mean, so soon?

- They've been married for a year. - I don't mean soon for them.

Soon for me. Am I ready to become a grandma?

Get out the mirror and get on the bus. You're about to be a nana.

You two are gonna be the sexiest grandmothers ever.

That is so true.

But my darling little girl.

- You're gonna be a mommy. - That's right.

Mommy, you have to sit down. You need all the rest you can get.

Ah-ah-ah. That attitude is the express train to a flabby bottom.

- You want her to have flat feet? - Listen.

Louise Sojay's daughter gained 90 pounds during her pregnancy.

It took two Polaroids to get one snapshot of that child.

So get up off this chair.

Okay, I'm gonna have to call Reverend Newton

and tell him there's a new member of the congregation.

Why, is he coming to Tokyo?

You're not going to delay the trip?

- Or cancel that sucker? - No.

Wait a minute. I am not about to have my first grandbaby

- born in a room with rice-paper walls. - Ma!

Japan is one of the most scientifically advanced countries.

- Don't worry. - Yeah, but it's so far away.

And we will miss the baby's first steps.

- And his first birthday. - And her christening.

And who's gonna babysit?

Ma, they have babysitters in Japan.

I don't trust them. They might steal the baby

- or feed it seaweed or something. - Ma!

What sense will my baby granddaughter, Tiffany, have

of her African American roots?

Hello. I love that name, T'Niqua.

- Tiffany. - T'Niqua!

Hold it, ladies!

It's not gonna be T'Niqua or Tiffany or none of that.

It'll be chosen by me and my wife.

- Right, baby? - Right, Pookie.

The ladies do have a point, though.

We were so hasty--

We went over this. We're going.

- Let her speak. You're not going. - You are not going.

- Don't tell us what to do. - Don't tell me what not to say.

I am the mother of the mother.

I am the mother of all mothers.

You are not going to Japan to have this baby.

First of all, you're not my mom.

I'm your mother-in-law!

I am her mother.

I am the mother of all mothers.

Wait a minute.

Do you see what you did?

Was it something we said?

Whit, I want to tell you,

I think that's gonna be one beautiful baby.

Whitley, choose its name carefully.

They named my cousin Glodean, and she wanted to work in a neon shop.

Yo, Miss Wayne.

What's up with this move to Japan?

How can Mr. Wayne dis the school and the community like that?

Look here, buster.

It's Kineshewa's idea to go to Japan, not mine.

Nobody cares what I think.

I'll have the baby, nurse it, feed it, burp it, educate it,

love it for the rest of its life.

Another thing, Mr. Man, Mr. Freshman,

I'll get as thin as Twiggy if I want to

or take that express train to a flabby bottom if I want to.

It's nobody's business but my own!

Don't walk away from me. I'm not through talking.

- Take it easy. - So disrespectful.

Calm down, baby.

I'm sick and tired of everybody, "Blah, blah, blah!"

I hear you. I hear you.

Take it easy.

Gosh.

I don't have a job.

I'm leaving everything and everyone I know.

And I'm sitting here sharing my most intimate problems with you.

It's not the first time, Whitley.

You and I used to talk, occasionally.

Yeah.

Remember when you took me to that caveman club?

Oh!

Yeah.

This should be the happiest time of your life. You're having a baby.

It's so overwhelming, Ron.

It's incredible, though.

If you think about it, right now, sitting right here with us,

there's a little life in there.

I don't know who it is, but I love this person.

I just wish I was sure about other things in my life.

Whitley, you two are gonna be okay.

You have each other.

Dwayne is your best friend.

He's your best friend, too.

And he hasn't said this to me, but I know he misses you, Ron.

Whit, uh, can I get you something to eat?

Don't you change the subject on me, boy,

but I'd like a short stack, hush puppies,

extra-butter grits and biscuits, and a diet cola.

All right.

I'll have somebody bring your food, Whitley.

That's your best friend.

Please stay out of it.

- That's between me and him. - Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm not supposed to talk about this either.

- Forgive me, O husband of mine. - Whitley, I'm--

- O king, master of the household. - Okay.

I'm sorry about earlier. Everything's getting to me.

You have to bear with me, Dwayne, okay,

'cause I'm scared.

- I don't know any Japanese. - Okay, sweetie.

I'm scared, too, okay?

But my father always told me,

when things get too comfortable, it's time to move on.

He wasn't trained to be a bus driver. He was a musician.

When I came along, he gave that up to be there for me and Mom.

He never complained.

He said� he said he had a safe job.

This isn't about 80 grand a year. It's about going one step further.

You just remember that

Ron's idea helped you make that step, Dwayne.

Hey, ho!

Hey, ho!

Give me some.

Come in!

Woodson!

Hello, Marion.

- Look at you. - You finally made it.

Woodson!

Have you ladies been drinking?

Define "drinking."

Stand up, woman.

Adele, where are the kids?

Woodson, did you see the view from the dining room?

It's so special a view. Go look at it.

Adele, what the hell is going on?

See, that's what I mean.

Always accentuate the negative.

Where's the trust in this relationship?

- Huh? - Maybe it's at the bottom of this bottle.

Give me some more.

- Hey, Dad! - Hey!

- Father Wayne. - Whitley.

Oh! Father Wayne, will you hear my confession, please?

What is going on around here?

Dad, um�

We wanted to tell you face-to-face.

Whitley's gonna have a baby.

I'm gonna be a grandfather?

That's what I said.

- Did you hear that, Adele? - Uh-huh.

This is the proudest day of my life.

This is indeed a very auspicious occasion.

Very� very suspicious.

Surprise!

Yeah!

The ladies organized this long-distance with Mr. Gaines

four days ago� when they were sober.

Yeah, I composed this little ditty,

and it's about the princess and four-eyes.

And it goes a little something like this.

? It was four years ago at Hillman ?

? A skinny boy fell in love With a upscale gal ?

? When your heart's on fire ?

? And there ain't no water 'round� ?

Hey.

Hey. Careful.

I might club you and drag you down the stairs.

I made the law journal today.

- Really? - Yes.

- Congratulations. That's fantastic. - Thank you.

Oh, that's great.

I didn't have to compromise my principles.

You're the first person I wanted to tell. I don't know why.

Maybe 'cause I'm cute.

Would you stop this silliness and come to Dwayne and Whitley's farewell party?

Rain check, baby.

Ron, they're gonna leave tomorrow.

Freddie�

he's not my friend.

Honey, he just said that stuff to you because he was angry.

What about what you said to me, huh?

You like kissing me 'cause it's the only time I'm quiet?

I mean, you were kidding.

Ron?

Ron! Don't be so mean.

- I can't believe you. - Okay.

Have a good time.

- I don't want to leave you. - Come on, baby.

You just go, you have a good time,

and you tell me all about it when you get back.

That's my girl.

May I have your attention, please?

- Yes. - Thank you.

As a parent, you have lots of hopes for your kids.

You look into that crib, and say, "Hey�"

Hey!

- "Maybe he can be president." - Yeah.

Well, son,

you've gone further than I ever dreamed.

Wherever life's road leads you and Whitley,

I want you to know,

your mother and I are with you in every step.

Every step, Chippy.

Dwayne.

I watched you grow from a boy to a man,

and know that I'm proud of you.

I never expected you to end up with Whitley.

None of us did.

But I'm so glad that you two found each other.

And I can't wait to have your child

in my class in the year�

- 2014! - 2014!

Not bad!

A toast. A toast. A toast.

To my lovely son-in-law.

To my daughter.

If you have a girl,

may she have my looks.

And if you have a boy, may he have my looks.

Whitley, your mama think she Diahann Carroll.

Mr. Wayne.

I've always had female teachers and most of them are white.

But in your classroom was the first time I saw what I could become.

You know what else, Mr. Wayne?

We hope you make it in Japan and come back. A lot of brothers need you.

Not just brothers.

Mr. Wayne, you made Hillman feel like home.

Whitley, you tried, and I appreciate that.

I'd like to say something.

I met Whitley's things before I met her.

My freshman year, I walked into our room,

and I found her Chintz easy chair

and her monogrammed toothbrush.

I knew right then that we would never be friends.

But I've never been so wrong in my life.

You have helped me through a lot.

I really appreciate it.

Not only do you have a princess attitude,

you have a princess heart.

Thank you.

My brother, my sister.

I'm not just talking for myself

because, Dwayne, man, you know what I'm doing,

and don't make me go there.

Sister, it's too much.

I'm not centered.

Very touching. Inarticulate, but very touching.

Six years,

and I feel like I grew up here.

I never knew that one place could mean so much to a person.

You go outside into that cold, ugly world,

and you have a place to come back where people say, "We love you,"

and "You're all right."

Mr. Gaines.

- You fed me� - Yes, I did.

- �and shared your wisdom. - Uh-huh.

Whatever I could understand of it.

Colonel Taylor.

You taught me that,

hey, I can learn anything.

Freddie-la,

you challenged my worldviews

and let me see that I was right all along.

Kimmie,

you taught me about friendship.

Dwayne, you taught me about love.

And I'll never forget any of you.

I'm going with you, baby.

We'll never forget any of you.

Hillman will always be in our hearts.

- Forever. - Bravo.

I think we should, uh, thank our moms

for putting this together.

They may be drunk and crazy,

but their hearts are in the right place.

I'd like to thank my students for teaching me

more than I could ever teach them.

- Well, actually-- - Shut up, Charmaine!

Some friends couldn't make it.

Some people who taught me not to take life so seriously.

Some people who taught me about brotherhood.

People like Ron Johnson.

I came to Hillman as an only child,

and now I'm leaving with a whole lot of brothers and sisters.

And a lot of fathers, too.

Thank you for being my family.

? Although we've come ?

? To the end of the road ?

? Still I can't let go ?

? It's unnatural ?

? You belong to me ?

? I belong to you ?

? No ?

? To the end of the road ?

Sing it, children!

- ? Still I can't let go ? - ? Say ?

- ? It's unnatural ? - ? Ooh ?

? You belong to me ?

? I belong to you ?

You leaving me? No, Chippy, don't go!

All right, y'all. You'll miss your flight.

- I can't take it. - It's time.

- Save some tears for the airport. - Chippy, bye!

Dwayne.

I'll wait for you in the car.

Freddie, um�

Freddie told me about your toast last night.

- I should have been there. - I wish you had, man.

Listen, about this idea, I was tripping.

I saw all that gold, all that money.

It was your idea. You deserve half.

You put the game together and presented it to Kineshewa--

Still. You had that idea. I have to send you half the money.

- It's only fair. - Dwayne�

Put it towards little Ron

or Rhonda's college education fund.

Um�

I made this for the baby.

You didn't make this. You bought this, man.

Just tell Whitley I made it, all right?

You know, it would make me proud�

if you would be the godfather of my child.

- I got your back. - All right.

Dwayne.

Hey, man, y'all better jet.

- Come on. - Yeah.

I guess we better jet.

Take care of yourself, brother.

You take care� brother.

You be a good boy, Ronaldus.

I'll miss you, Whitley.

You ready to go, baby?

Off to a different world.
