[ indistinct conversations ]

Okay, okay, that's it.

Everyone has had their last free

Meal of the week.

The restaurant is closed.

Everybody go home.

And take your ribs with you.

Baby, we didn't have ribs.

I'm not talking about those

Ribs.

I'm talking about those ribs.

You don't read the bible?

What -- how -- you never read

The bible.

Curtis, baby, please, don't

Do that.

We are having coffee.

I made you decaf.

How do you take it?

Ella, please, she will take

It to go, because she's leaving.

Come on, baby.

We gotta go anyway.

The game is about to start.

Okay, real quick, c.J.

Help me finish up this grocery

List.

I know we need formula.

What else?

You know what babies love?

What?

Hot sauce.

They love hot sauce.

Just go crazy with it.

Put it on their tongue. Come on.

Uncle -- uncle curtis, okay,

Bye.

[ thunder crashes ]

Whoa! Whoa.

It looks like a storm's coming.

Oh, that ain't nothing.

Uncle curtis, we can't

Go out in that.

Yeah, of course you can. Run!

Miss the rain!

Miss the rain, cornbread.

Curtis.

Hurry up before you get wet!

Too late. Here, take that.

Put some holes in it, make a

Poncho, and bob and weave.

[ laughs ]

You guys, we do need to get

Going, so...

Good. Thank you. Finally.

Thank you.

Yeah, you know the game

That's coming on?

I have a little action on it.

Ooh? Action?

Oh, that's cute.

You placed a little bet?

I mean, come on, baby.

It's my alma mater.

Just a little one.

Hey, look at miranda.

Hold on, hold on.

Let me holla at you.

So, do you think you can put a

Little something down for me?

Curtis, I will not stand here

And watch you place a bet.

Then sit down.

Curtis, come on.

Gambling leads to the love of

Money, and it's just sinful.

Baby, we don't have money for

This.

What is -- what ain't sinful,

Ella?

Put 20 on the game for me.

Okay.

All right. Ha!

Goodbye!

Love is sinful.

That love is sinful.

Oh, god...

If loving gambling is sinful,

Give me a sign.

[ thunder crashes ]

Bet you won't do it again.

[ thunder crashes ]

That don't count. Two out of 3.

[ thunder crashes ]

[ thunder crashes ]

Whew. Oh, boy.

Oh, hi, baby. Thank you.

Hey, hey.

Wait, where's the receipt?

Oh.

Oh, man, it's cold out there.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Baby, $150?

There's nothing on the list that

We needed in here.

No, no, we needed all of

This.

Yeah.

We needed the cheese puffs.

We need these cheese puffs.

This orange soda.

Look, check this out.

Check this out.

You see what this is, baby?

What?

This is bacon wrapped in

Shrimp wrapped in bacon.

Know what they call it?

Nasty.

Shbacon.

Keep your mouth shut.

[ scoffs ]

$29?

Have you seen the commercial?

It's made by mermaids.

That's it.

We're starting a budget.

No, baby, look, I can't do

That right now.

The game is coming on, and I got

To heat up my shbacon.

No, you need to grab a sh-pad

And a sh-pen and come over here

And help me with this budget.

Look at me. Look at me.

Do you see me?

I run into burning buildings

Every day.

I stare death down.

And when I come home, the only

Thing I want to do is watch the

Game, eat my cheese puffs, drink

And have my shbacon.

C.J., please, can I --

Listen, listen, we have a new

We have four children, more

Bills, and we just bought all of

This furniture.

C.J., the last thing I need is

For my husband to walk around

Like another child with some

Shbacon.

Look, look, look, you're not

Going to talk to me like that,

Okay?

I'm a grown man.

Shbacon.

Uh, uh, shbacon. Yeah.

[ grunting ]

Curtis.

[ grunting ]

Curtis.

You need more fiber, baby.

Curtis, would you just help

Me rearrange this furniture,

Please?

I can't take it.

Baby, not now.

Come on, come on.

The southeast classic is on.

It's the biggest black-college

Football game of the year.

Come on.

Curtis, last week you said it

Was the bayou classic.

And then before that, you said

It was the magic city classic.

Which one is it?

Whichever one's on tv.

Good.

[ chuckles ]

None of them are on tv, curtis,

Okay?

Would you just help me?

Baby, I like it where it is!

Look, I need stability in my

Life, okay?

It's just all these changes.

Come on, baby.

So many changes.

Goodness.

Look, I just need to know this

Couch is gonna be here, okay?

I want to know this remote's

Gonna be in my hand.

Is that okay?

Too much to ask for?

All I need is a beer.

I mean, I want to know that I

Can have another beer when my

Beer goes down.

I wanna just know I have a beer,

You know?

Another one.

Well, I'll get it.

I'll get that for you.

I'll get that.

Thank you. Thank you, girl.

And the award for best

Performance from a forcibly

Retired husband...

Curtis payne!

[ thunder crashes ]

[ thunder crashes ]

Oh, look at my baby.

Loyal to her team, bettin' on

The underdogs.

Yeah.

Don't they look good in those

New blue uniforms?

Oh, they can't lose wearing

Those.

You picked them because of

The color of their uniforms?

Oh, I bet you they're gonna

Beat that team in the little

Nasty orange and green.

Okay.

Well, how about we place a bet?

Okay.

20 bucks.

That's what we call a little

Side action.

Oh, a little side action?

Well, okay.

How about we make it interesting

And make it $100?

Oh, you are so cute.

Okay, fine.

Oh.

That's just more money

Towards my new tv for the

Bedroom.

[ chuckles ]

And I need some new shoes.

Okay. You got a bet.

Bet.

[ chuckles ]

No turning back now.

Uh, baby?

For the future, never bet on a

Team because of the color of

Their uniform.

[ chuckles ]

[ laughs ]

Oh, baby, that's not the only

Reason I picked them.

Your quarterback is a

Third-string redshirt with a

Pass rating of 54.6.

Oh, yeah, and they closed the

Spread by 23%, so I was figuring

That, you know, the handicappers

Had an inside line.

So, who'd you say, over and

Under about 35?

Does that work for you?

Or we can parlay it with the

Clemson game.

You know, it's totally up to

You.

[ sighs ]

Babe.

What?

My head hurts.

Did you buy any?

No.

Why don't you rub some

Shbacon on it?

That's what the mermaids would

Do.

Ah, very funny.

Can I tell you why my head is

Hurting, what's going on with

Me?

Yes.

Aww. Thank you, baby.

See, it started off this morning

With --

Just as soon as the game is

Over.

Drive it down their throat!

Yes.

Curtis, I'm worried about

You.

We need to talk about --

About your future, baby.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby, yeah.

Future is good.

What is going on?

We need to talk, curtis.

Yes!

Curtis!

Oh! Yes!

That's what I'm talking about!

Get some!

Rrr!

Run it down their throat!

How do you like that?

Yeah, you are kind of sexy

When you're betting.

[ laughs ]

We should go in the back and

Play a little fantasy football.

Okay, baby, after the game.

[ thunder crashes ]

What--what the--

What the--

What the hell?!

What?

It smells like burning

Strawberries in here.

Baby.

Maybe this is just the lord's

Way of giving us some time to

Talk.

Ella, what kind of cruel and

Vengeful god do you worship?

Curtis.

Okay, just kidding.

[ grunts ]

All right, let's talk.

Okay, that was a nice talk.

We should do it again sometimes.

Curtis.

Baby, just give it some time,

Okay?

There's no tv, no computer.

No radio. Just --

Aah! That's it. That's it.

My transistor radio. I should --

I can listen to the game.

C.J. Had it last. C.J. Had it.

Curtis, why do you care

So much about this game?

Ugh!

Not working.

Curtis.

I know you did not bet on this

Game.

I know you did not bet on it.

C.J.

Come on, baby, seriously.

Talk to me.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

What?

I gotta get this.

[ cellphone rings ]

You have to get this?

Hello?

C.J.

Is it an emergency?

No.

Yes.

Uncle curtis.

Hey, are your lights out?

I'm gonna knock your lights

Out.

Look, I want my radio back.

I don't have it.

Then where is it, smart guy?

Because it sure isn't here.

Is it here, ella?

C.J., I need your attention.

It's not my problem.

This isn't your problem?

I'm not talking to you.

Oh, so now you're not talking

To me.

Cute.

Y-yeah. Wait. No.

Give me a minute.

I know you're not talking to

Me like that.

Uncle curtis, why don't you

Ask calvin about your stupid

Radio?

My radio is not stupid.

You don't call my radio stupid.

Okay? You still a suspect.

You stay on the line.

I'm gonna call him.

Call my radio stupid.

It wasn't stupid.

When you borrowed it, it wasn't

Stupid.

[ cellphone rings ]

Crazy talk.

Hello?

You the one that's stupid.

Who you calling stupid?

Look -- calvin.

I want my radio back.

Pa, right now is not the

Time.

You should've thought about

That before you stole my radio.

What radio?

The radio. That's right.

Hey.

See? I told you.

I don't have it.

C.J.?

Calvin.

C.J.!

Janine.

Calvin!

Curtis!

Baby. Baby, no, no.

What?

Don't call me "Baby."

C.J., we have to talk!

Are you sure neither one of

You got my radio?

No!

Fine!

No, baby, wait.

I was talking to uncle curtis.

Look, I gotta go, man.

Wh-wh-why do you need this

Radio so bad?

No reason, baby. No reason.

It's tradition.

Baby, baby, let's go back to

The bedroom.

Baby, baby, baby, baby, hold

On, hold on, hold on.

What's happening?

Did you find it?

Pop, I don't have your radio.

I found the radio!

Shh!

Did you just shush me?

Look, do I hear a radio?

No, no. See, that's miranda

Talking in her sleep. Bye.

I think that's a radio.

I heard that radio. I heard it.

I heard a radio.

I heard a radio.

He hung up on me.

There's a conspiracy to keep me

From my radio.

Okay, you can't watch the

Game.

You're finally off the phone.

The kids are asleep.

Can I please, please have some

Of your time now?

Oh, baby.

Yeah.

You can have all the time you

Need.

Thank you. Okay.

So, I took the time, and I came

Up with this budget, right?

Oh, no, unh-unh.

I ain't got no time for that.

Come on, c.J.

We really need to go over these

Figures, babe.

Baby, I want to go over your

Figures.

[ chuckles ]

Hell. No.

This is serious, c.J., for real.

Janine, man, give it a rest.

No, no.

No, c.J., how many times do I

Have to tell you?

We need to get our house in

Order.

I made the grocery list, and

Then you went out and bought

All this furniture without

Telling me anything.

I need for you to become more

Responsible, c.J.

Responsible?

You talking to me about

Responsibility?

You're the only other person

In the room.

I mean, c.J., lately you've

Been --

I've been what? Huh?

I've been going to work every

Day.

I've been taking care of my

Family.

And you want to jump on me

Because I'm not sticking to some

Grocery list?

C.J., it's not just about the

Grocery list, okay?

I'm just saying I don't feel

Like you're really trying.

I'm not trying?

No, you're not trying.

All I do is try.

Right?

I'm trying to feed my kids.

I'm trying to make sure that the

Kids get off to school.

I'm trying to forget that for a

Long while, I had to do this all

By myself!

Oh, baby.

Do you remember our first

Blackout?

Yup. We were newlyweds.

Ha. In that tiny little

Apartment.

Our first apartment.

Oh, god, it was so tiny in

There, baby.

The stove was over the bathtub.

Remember?

Yep. You made me breakfast in

Bath.

I was so glad to finally get

A house.

I always wanted a home.

Yeah. Well, I always had a

Home, because you were in it.

Curtis...

Oh, baby.

Look, baby...I know I don't

Help around the house like you

Want me to.

And you need to.

How you gonna do that?

You just killed my moment like

That, baby.

It's all nice and sweet, and I'm

Doing the moment, and it's

Sweet, and I'm about to go

Over -- but I forgot what I was

Saying.

You always had a home because

I was in it.

Forget it.

I don't even want to say it.

Curtis!

Okay. I'll do it.

But it's not gonna be the same.

You want me to do it?

Yes.

Baby, you know my house --

I gotta say our house -- is

Really important to me.

You know that?

Mm-hmm.

So, if rearranging the

Furniture will make you happy,

Something you really wanna do,

You go right on ahead and you do

It.

Right now. Not now, but right

Now.

Curtis, you know the lights

Are out.

Shoot. That's right.

You can't--

Are you sure you can't?

You're full of it.

You're full of it, curtis.

You're full of it.

[ laughs ]

[ chuckles ]

So, baby, what can we do now?

[ chuckles ]

What?

You thinking what I'm

Thinking?

Yup. We need to defrost that

Freezer.

Mm-hmm.

Yes. Let's go do that.

Curtis, come on.

No. Is that code?

That's code.

For * da-da-da-da

Curtis, no. You so bad.

* da-da-da-da-da-da

No.

* da-da-da-da

[ both laugh ]

Oh. Oh.

Come on, come on!

Oh. Oh!

Oh!

That's what I'm talking 'bout.

Get some!

Next year, I'll be watching the

Game on my brand-new tv in my

Bedroom.

Pow! Unh!

Hold on. Shh. Shh.

Do you hear that?

Huh?

Do you hear that?

No. 'cause the fat lady ain't

Sung yet.

The game is not over.

Oh, oh, no. It's over.

It's over.

You better be glad you only bet

$100.

Oh, you wanna double down,

Little girl?

Okay.

200 bucks, and the loser has to

Change the baby diapers for the

First month.

Listen, if you can't run with

The big dogs, toto, go back to

Kansas.

This is the bet.

The loser is gonna have to

Change the baby diapers until

It's potty-trained, and...

The winner gets the cookie-jar

Money.

There's o-- there's over $500

In there.

Aww, is it too steep for you,

Toto?

Arf!

It's on, dorothy.

Hmm, turn the radio up, then.

I will, then.

Something like that to me?

It was stupid. It was stupid.

I'm sorry.

It was worse than stupid.

It was mean. It was hurtful.

And I --

I'm scared.

For the first time in a long

Time, we actually have a house

And we have a chance for

Everything to be back the way it

Was, and I don't want to mess it

Up again.

And don't worry.

I can never forget what I did to

This family.

Okay, okay.

All right.

What's in the past is in the

Past, all right?

Okay.

You -- you are my life.

Okay?

Mm-hmm.

My life, and I love my life,

Right?

So give me some of that.

Mm. Look at those eyes.

Let's get them tears out of

There.

All right?

Mm-hmm.

Because I love you, and I

Love my life.

Even if I have to clip coupons

To be able to afford it.

[ laughs ]

All right?

So we can do the budget?

Yeah. So we gonna get

Together, we gonna figure out

A budget.

All right?

Did you say coupons?

Yeah. You like that? Coupons?

I like coupons. You know, I

Like it when you talk budget.

Let me tell you something.

Thursday is double-coupon day.

What that do for you?

Ooh.

Yeah, that get you heated?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

[ laughs ]

Yeah. Coupons.

Double coupons. Come here.

Double coupons.

[ chuckles ]

Mmm. Hey.

You got anything in here where

I could get half-off?

Ooh.

50%?

You know I like a good

Bargain.

[ laughs ]

[ baby crying ]

Ohh.

I'll get hayden.

I'll get jayden.

But I'm gonna get you first.

[ shrieks ]

Ah-la-la-la. Ah-la-la-la.

How could they lose?

[ laughs ]

I tried to tell you.

You weren't serious about

Really taking my money, right?

Yup.

And I'm gonna take my winnings

And I'm gonna add them to my

Cookie-jar money...

And I'm gonna buy you a new tv

For the bedroom.

You serious?

Mm-hmm.

I figure you need something to

Watch while you're changing all

Those diapers.

No! Let me go!

Stop it.

Let me go!

Wait a minute, baby.

You animal! You animal!

Oh, boy.

[ chuckles ]

Baby, what are you doing?

Turn off the lights.

What? We're gonna sit out

Here in the dark?

Curtis, please.

Nope.

I know. You want to see what

The score of your little game

Is?

I got all the game I need.

What, curtis?

Come on, get in here.

Curtis, let's defrost the

Freezer.
