[yelp] Calvin!

Miranda! Come here.

Hurry up!

This is so exciting.

Thank you so much for finding us a place.

Yeah, Pops, this is great.

Yeah, it's great.

We're-- we're family, and family help each other out.

OK, aren't you going to pull the car out of the garage

so we can go?

Go where?

So we can see the new place?

You're looking at it.

Oh, you cannot possibly think I'm sleeping in the garage.

Of-- of course not, Miranda.

You're sleeping in the car in the garage.

Calvin, get your father.

No, wait-- wait a minute.

Christian got his own room.

I just need to take the flashlight out

of the glove compartment and the other stuff.

Come on, Pops, you said you was going to help us out.

I'm helping you out of my house.

What?

Wait a minute.

Son, you're not giving this garage thing a chance.

Better not say nothing to your momma.

Ms. Ella, can you believe that Mr. Payne wanted

us to sleep in the garage?

It's insulated.

[chuckling] I'm joking.

Curtis, what is she talking about?

Don't do that, Ella.

- What? - Come on, baby.

We just talked about it this morning.

You said you was going to put curtains in there.

Curtis, please.

Man, I've been looking for places everywhere.

I put in, like, 50 applications, and we

keep getting turned down.

Yeah, that foreclosure really messed up our credit.

You will find something, in Jesus's name.

Yeah, I hope so.

I'm going to start over again tomorrow.

And until then, why don't you guys just try the garage?

I mean, you guys need your own space, man.

And I need somebody to keep the possums out the trash.

It's a win-win.

You know, baby, Pops is right.

We do need more space.

Yeah, he is right about that, because I'm tired of sleeping

on your bunk beds.

Oh, and did I tell you?

The back seat folds down.

Look, Pops, I'm sorry for being such a burden on you.

OK. OK.

- I'm used to it. - OK.

OK, sidebar.

Curtis, if they are going to be staying here for a while,

we need to make them feel right at home.

And which one of you am I talking to now?

What's your name?

Curtis.

So kids, we are more than happy to clear

out another room for you.

Right, Curtis? - No.

- Curtis. - We ain't got no more room!

Well, what about your train room?

[spitting]

MIRANDA: Oh!

You don't blaspheme in this house!

You don't blaspheme in this house!

Curtis!

You need to move your trains.

This house is getting smaller and smaller,

and it's making me itch.

Over my dead body.

Oh, well, we'd solve the space problem.

[theme music]

[theme music]

No, that's not quite it.

OK, hold on.

Let's just rewind this one more time.

We're gonna do this one more time.

OK, here, now check this out.

It is--

[music playing]

--cha-cha, cha-cha.

Then turn.

Turn. Kick.

And kick.

And attitude.

Uh.

Yes.

OK?

Did you-- OK, let's just take this back, one

more time from the beginning.

I know.

I love her in this video too.

But we got to get every move perfect.

OK.

All right.

OK, so here we go.

Twist.

Twist.

Kick, uh.

Kick, uh.

Shake.

Shake.

And pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

Jazmine, what are you doing?

Homework.

Call you later.

You look like Beyonce.

Really?

You think so?

I've been working on that number for a long time.

Uh, I mean, uh, how was work?

Now, what we expect you to do is

to pop them books when you get home from school, not Beyonce.

OK, sorry.

But I am interested in what you two do at the office.

Really?

See, Monday is Take Your Child to Work Day,

and you know, I was hoping that maybe I could go with you.

[cheering]

BOTH: Of course!

Baby.

Yeah, I think she was talking to me,

Oh, no, baby.

I know she was talking to me.

No, I think that our daughter wants to know what

it's like to be the big boss.

Well, I know she would like to see a woman in the workplace,

since we're her role models.

Jazzie, tell your mother why you want

to come with us to the office.

Well actually, I would much rather go to the mall,

but this is something that I have to do for class.

I'm kidding!

I'm kidding.

So can I go with y'all?

Yes.

And we will both show you around.

Yeah, get something to drink.

JANINE: OK. Um--

JAZMINE: [sigh] - --what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Study books.

Thank you.

Oh, and baby, you were missing a couple of moves.

You started right.

It was-- it was cha-cha, cha-cha.

Then you dip with the swivel.

OK?

Are you watching?

So it's kick, kick, then--

mm.

And then you attitude.

Got to hide the hand with the head, OK?

Uh, Mom?

You don't know me.

Uh, wow.

[theme music]

Pick up after yourself.

Sh, sh, sh sh, sh, sh.

It's OK, baby.

That's OK.

You're going to be fine.

It's only going to be for little while, huh?

Aw, Curtis, that is so sweet.

- Look at you. - Thank you, baby.

Look at you.

Thank you for making this sacrifice.

Oh, baby, it's what I do.

You know, it's all about family.

Give me my grandbaby.

Give me a grandbaby.

Right.

Hey, Cary.

[shouting]

[shouting]

Look what you did!

Train abuser!

Has anybody seen Christian's blanket?

And why is he laying--

thank you-- under the classified section?

Oh, I put that there so he could sleep and look

for a job at the same time.

Hell, he'll probably be working before his daddy will.

[laughing] Listen, as soon as Curtis gets all of his

trains out of the back room, the kids

can just slide right on in.

OK, well we have made most of the adjustments,

so you will hardly know that we are here.

CURTIS: Can't believe you!

Get out the way!

Calvin, Calvin, Calvin.

Baby, what are you doing with my hat boxes?

- I'm taking them to the garage. - Wait!

Why? Why?

Because that's where I put the rest of them.

Wait, Calvin!

Listen.

We never talked about that.

But why do you have 15 hat boxes anyway?

Because I have 15 hats.

But then we won't have anywhere to put

Christian's stuffed animals.

You put them in the garage.

Put my hats back.

CURTIS: No.

No, no, no, no, no.

Put them things in the garage.

If I gotta put my babies in the garage,

you can put them hats in the garage.

And why do you got 15 hats anyway, baby?

You only got one head.

Put them things in the garage.

Come on.

It's insulated.

[phone ringing]

Put my hats back.

Hello.

Put my hats--

Sh.

Yeah, yeah.

We applied, but I already know you're going to deny us.

Wait.

Calvin?

Calvin Payne?

P-A-Y-N-E?

Are you sure?

Positive?

Ha-ha.

OK.

OK.

All right.

Ha-ha. - What?

What?

I got us a place, baby.

Oh, baby, I knew it.

We got a place?

We got a place?

We got a place?

We got a place?

Time to put it back in his room.

You get your room back, baby.

You heard?

[laughing] Baby, you was right.

All these years, you was right, Ella.

That Calvin is a go getter.

No, that prayer works.

Yeah.[cheering]

CALVIN: [chuckling]

This is the best news that we have gotten in a long time.

I am so happy, baby.

Ha!

Bet you're not as happy as me.

Ha.

I bet you I am.

I'm so proud of you.

I knew you could do it.

And we can move in immediately.

Apparently, the couple that was going to move in backed out.

Mm.

OK, Calvin, I'm glad you found a place,

but I think the two of you should

just wait and save your money.

Before you move out, don't do it that quick like that.

You don't want to just--

What the hell is wrong with you?

Curtis.

What is you talking about, baby?

Come on.

They're going to be fine.

OK, will you just stop, baby?

What?

I just don't want you all to just move out and start

struggling all over again and then

have to move everybody back in.

They don't want that, Curtis.

Please, they're going to be fine, OK?

That's my son.

And I promise you, he ain't going to do it.

Thank you, Pops.

And that's why I'm changing the locks.

MIRANDA: You know what?

I knew you could do it.

I am so proud of you.

After all we been through, it's good to get

some good news for a change.

OK, well, let me be honest.

I really am going to miss having you all around.

Ha-ha, I'm not.

[theme music]

And that is how you fix a paper jam.

Ah!

[laughing] All right, now I'm going

to show you our filing system.

Here you go, babe.

[sighing] Save me, Daddy.

What's wrong?

Mom's job is boring.

No.

No, it's not.

We have done tons of interesting stuff.

We-- what all did we do?

We-- we, ha-- we proofread press releases, huh?

We did a spreadsheet.

I taught you how to change the toner in a printer.

What does a person have to do to get fired around here?

[chuckling]

Babe.

Sorry, Janine.

Fine.

I guess that just means you will not learn

how to organize these files.

Really?

Yeah.

[chuckling] Good.

[chuckling] Oh, listen, Jazmine.

Your mom's job is not boring.

Thank you.

It's just not as interesting as mine.

Love you.

JANINE: Mhm.

Dad, you are the big boss.

Yeah, this is where all the really important stuff happens.

Oh, well.

Oh.

Right here.

So what are you doing?

Uh, I was, uh, checking emails.

And?

And uh-- you know, my phone is always ringing.

Ring.

Ring.

Hello.

Yeah, this is Commissioner Payne.

Dad, that was obviously you.

Just hang up.

I would've had much more fun at the mall.

Oh I know--

I'm about to review some new fire training procedures.

Ooh, now that sounds interesting.

It is-- very.

I love this stuff.

Chapter 1.

What is fire training?

The mere definition of it conjures up different--

[theme music]

Chapter 7, "Ladder Control."

[knocking]

I'm about to order copy paper.

Great.

What's wrong?

You told me to let you know.

Yeah, so I could find an excuse not to be around.

Oh--

Work is so boring.

If this is what I have to look forward to,

I'm going to barber school.

I'm not going to college at all.

Oh, you're going to college.

And our work is not boring.

Oh, really?

Really.

What are you doing?

OK, so let's see.

Should I put the spreadsheet in the green folder

or the blue folder?

Hark!

Did I hear a paper jam?

Wait, wait, wait.

Hey, hey, hey.

I do not sound like that.

I don't.

[chuckling]

And Dad-- well--

[grunting] well, since my phone never rings,

I'll just sit here and read this manual all day long.

Blah, blah, blah, training.

Blah, blah, blah, ladder.

Blah, blah, blah.

Well, no-- I did not fall asleep.

Yes, but I did.

She got you-- feet up, no phone ringing, do it--

ooh, she got you.

You think that's funny?

Yes, I think that's hilarious.

Hark, I think I hear your face crack and hit the ground.

JAZMINE: Oh!

- Oh, nothing. - Oh, look.

Dad, your phone's finally ringing.

Finally, huh?

Hey.

A gas explosion?

Which elementary school?

Get everybody in here.

OK.

How many kids are trapped?

Get Zone 5 on the scene.

They've been trained in the new evacuation procedure.

OK, I will start fielding the media calls.

Denise, I need you to go back to my office.

I need you to get the communications plan.

It's in the blue folder.

All right, we need to get the parents informed.

Excuse me, Jaz, I got to get that through here.

OK.

Um--

Somebody get me a map of that block.

We got to get those kids out of there.

Thank you.

Ooh, I am so happy that Calvin found us a place.

No more bunk beds.

No more soapy toothbrushes.

And the boys get to have their own playroom.

Yup, and me and Curtis get to--

well, never mind.

Ooh--

ELLA: Now--

--Miss Ella.

OK, now this one is ready and has all the kid stuff in it.

OK, well, I want to do this one first, because this

has Calvin's video games in it.

I'm trying to hide them from him, so sh.

ELLA: OK.

Cannot wait to move into my new place

so I can set up my video games.

Tape?

Thank you.

Ta-da!

Look what I got.

Found them at the discount store.

They were on sale.

I was going to get just one, but I figured, what the heck?

His-and-her matching set.

Pink, Pops?

Yeah, I mean the color stands out so I could see you leaving,

really.

Well, I know it's been crazy, but I

sure hate to see you guys go.

BOTH: Oh.

No, you don't.

What are you talking about?

You be back and forth, baby.

Be one person.

This morning you were just saying

she wears so much perfume that it makes your eyes tear.

Oh, Mr. Payne.

I don't complain about you snoring.

Sometimes I don't know if it's you

or if it's your train sets you play with whistling.

Ugh, I don't snore.

Mhm.

Hey, Pops, think about it.

We don't have to fight over the remote anymore.

It's not a fight.

Touch the remote, you die.

Kids, kids, kids.

Please.

Please, Curtis, let's not go on, and on, and

on about each other's habits.

Miss Ella, can you help me load some of the smaller

boxes in the car, please?

Yes.

Yeah, and make sure you stand downwind, baby.

There's a breeze outside.

You know her perfume is kicking.

Perfume kicking!

Not like you.

CURTIS: [chuckling]

[phone ringing]

Hey, [inaudible].

Hey, Mr. Smith.

Yeah, me and Miranda should be over there in a couple of hours

to finalize the paperwork and pick up our keys.

Hey, ask whether you can do it any sooner.

I can take you over there now.

Sh.

Uh, hate to tell me what?

But-- but we had a agreement.

CURTIS: Wait-- hang up the phone.

- Sh. - Hang it up.

Well-- well, we're ready to move right now.

Do you have another place?

Yeah, OK, fine.

Bye.

[sigh] OK, we need to hurry up and get

out of here before I suffocate your mother with my perfume.

Well, Miranda, that was Mr. Smith on the phone.

Oh, is he waiting for us?

No.

Suddenly, his daughter and her husband

came back from overseas, and they need a place to stay.

So he's given them our apartment.

No.

Baby, what are we going to do?

Well, we have no place to go.

It looks like we're going to have to stay here.

MIRANDA: [sigh]

Well, I'll go get the trains out of the back room.

Look, Pops, you know we appreciate staying here,

and we'll keep looking.

Oh, Calvin, something else will come through for you.

And you are more than welcome to stay right here.

You know that.

Hmm.

So come on.

Help me set up the back room so my grandbabies

got somewhere to play.

Thank you, Curtis.

CURTIS: Mm.

[theme music]

OK, and I have proofed the press release,

so you can go ahead and send it out.

All right?

Thank you.

Hey, Tony-- Tony, make sure you keep

the parents updated, please.

Thanks.

Hey, handsome.

Excuse me.

You OK?

Tired.

Yeah.

Speaking of tired.

Hey, little mama.

Wake up, Jaz.

We're going home.

Dad?

What happened?

Are the kids OK?

Yeah, everyone's fine, thanks to my great team.

Well, your team has a very wonderful leader.

Great work, guys.

Great work.

We should have found a way to get you home.

JANINE: Mhm.

No, I wanted to stay, but I was scared.

Weren't you guys afraid?

We really didn't have time to be.

Sorry I called your jobs boring.

It's OK.

Most days they are.

But, um, it's the boring stuff, those little things we

do, that get us ready for the emergencies we have,

like this one today.

Yeah, to be honest, I'll take a boring day

at the office any day, because it means everybody out

there is safe.

You know, I did learn something today.

I knew she'd catch on how to fix the paper jam--

No.

I learned that I want to have a job one day that actually makes

a difference, where I can help people and keep

them safe like you two do.

That's wonderful, Jaz.

[chuckling] I am very organized,

like Mom, and I think I can be a great leader one day, like you,

Dad.

You could be anything you want to be.

Yeah, that's what I want.

I want to save lives.

[chuckling]

Proud of you, baby girl.

[chuckling] Or be a supermodel.

Sashay.

Shantay.

[chuckling]

I told you she was going to need a role model.

Boo do--

[theme music]

Oh my goodness.

I cannot believe your dad is snoring so loud.

[snoring]

I know.

Sounds like he's gargling marbles.

I can't sleep back there.

What are we going to do?

I don't know, but I need to get some sleep.

[snoring]

BOTH: Garage.

[snoring]

Mm, boy, your momma loud as hell.

I can't even sleep.

[theme music]
