- Ah, all right.

It's a new day,

another chance to make a difference.

Just be the man that you are and what will be, will be.

- What you in here doing, boy?

Sounded like Angela Bassett in "What's Love Got to do With It."

[chanting]

- You know what, I'm gonna quit

leaving that key underneath that mat.

Man, I asked you to yell or let me know or something

when you was coming in here.

Scared the mess outta me.

- Now you know you are too big to be acting like that.

- What 'cause I'm big I can't be startled?

- Yeah, man, you got all that muscle

and you in here shaking at the littlest thing.

What's wrong with you?

- Whatever, man.

- Anyway what you doing home, man?

Ain't you gonna be late for work?

- My first client canceled.

Wait a minute, why am I explaining myself to you?

- Dog, I got no idea. - Yeah.

- Well, anyway... [clears throat]

my reason for coming over today is,

I need to borrow a couple dollars, couple dollars, okay?

Things have gotten kind of tight since I retired, you know.

- Retired? - Yeah.

- Troy, you're 27.

News flash, you're not retired, you're unemployed.

- You know what, Reggie, I don't like that, man.

Don't be rude, man.

It's not attractive, not at all, okay?

And that's where you're wrong, all right?

I've been a comedian since I was 17 years old.

I'm almost 28 and I chose to get out of the game.

All right, I've had my time.

I wanna let the young comedians get out there

and do they thing.

- Okay, whatever you say, man.

How much you need?

- Man, it's nothing for you, man.

It's light work for a baller, it's nothing.

- Okay, how much?

- 700. - $700?

You know what, pause.

I think you should step outside, knock, come back in

and start over.

- Man, come on, Reggie, you know I'm good for it.

- Good for it?

Man, I'm pretty sure you still owe me money from prom night.

- Prom, really? - Yeah.

Yeah, need I remind you?

- Uh, yeah, please remind me

'cause I don't recall that at all.

- Okay, here we go, let's go back down memory lane.

- Let's go back. - Um, it was prom night.

Right after prom, we went to the Pancake House.

It was you and Piper, as always,

and it was me and, um, some girl.

- Oh, oh, you went to prom with Keisha.

She had the Michael Strahan gap,

and when she pronounced her name, it was Keitha.

"I'm Keitha."

- Really? - I really, yeah.

- Why you, eh, whatever. - She did.

- Anyway, I'm not with her now. [laughing]

Look, anyway, so, you followed me to the bathroom.

- Okay.

- And you said you was about to do a dine and dash

'cause you didn't have any more money,

and I said you are not about to embarrass me like that,

and I gave you 50 bucks to hold you over

for the rest of the night.

Ring a bell?

- Absolutely not, okay? Come on, man.

Pancake House?

Man, you know I'm allergic to gluten.

It's highly unlikely that I would even eat at some place...

- Look, just stop.

Yo, I don't have it.

- Come on, Reggie. You got it, man, come on.

You save money like a old grandmother.

- You should try it some time.

- I have a wife, okay?

A wife that likes clothes, shoes, vacations.

It's virtually impossible for me to save anything.

- How long it's gonna take you to get the money back to me?

- Two months tops, okay?

I just don't wanna hear Piper say I told you so.

- Piper's gonna say I told you so regardless.

Okay, whether you're right or wrong.

But chances are, you gonna be wrong as usual.

- Hey, hey, you know what?

Don't ever say that out loud, okay?

I'm serious because she usually is right,

and that scares me.

- You are so dramatic, man. [chuckles]

- Man, let me get one of them little protein shakes

you be drinking on, man.

Get me some extra vitamins and minerals

so I can get my old body back.

- It's gonna take a lot more than that shake.

I've been trying to get you to join a gym

for the last seven years.

- Well, the problem is that I like steak

and sweets too much, you know what I mean?

But Piper loves me for me,

and as long as I don't get too sloppy, I should be fine.

- Okay, well, cheers to, uh, less steak

and even less sweets.

- I really can't cheers to that,

but okay, whatever, healthy guy.

[audience laughing]

Not to switch the subject, but, you know,

I know what today is. [clears throat]

- Yeah, you and 300 million other Americans.

I don't think 9/11 gets by anybody.

- Mm, well how you doing?

You know, with it being the anniversary and all.

- I'm all right, man.

It, uh, I think it gets a little easier with time.

I know it's been more than 10 years.

- Wow, 10 years. - Yeah.

- I was just making sure, you know.

Hey, bro, I loved your parents. - Yeah.

- They loved me, too. [laughs]

I was like a second son to them.

- Well, yeah, the good thing is that we know where they are.

- Yeah. - And they're together.

And as far as I'm concerned, I'm good, you know.

Got a good job, you know, I'm blessed.

I've got a nice little place, and I'm grateful.

- Yeah, man, you are blessed.

You really are, man.

You know, the Lord blesses people so that they can

bless others, you know.

[audience laughing]

And I could really use that $700 blessing right now.

- Yep, that's my cue.

- Being that you doing so well. - Come on.

- And, you know, the Lord says give if you have it.

Oh, really? You Kicking me out?

Yes. - Oh, wow.

Hey, man, hang up the phone, first of all.

- Oh, bye.

about my boy, Stanley, the job.

- Oh, thank you for reminding me.

He's coming by at eleven, right?

- Yeah, yeah, eleven.

Now, check it out, he's a really cool guy.

I think you'll like him.

- Oh, cool, I'll hit you later and let you know how it goes.

- All right, cool, so you got my boy.

- Got him. - He's straight with the job.

- Yep.

- My $700, you know what I'm saying.

If you wanna put a extra $300 on top of that.

- Mm, that'll be $1,000 that I'm not gonna give you.

- Are you serious, man?

- Yes, man, I can't wait not to give you any money.

- Oh, wow, really? - Go with God.

- Is that right?

- I gotta pick my friends better.

- Yeah, we don't see any reason to wait.

[sneezes] - Trap.

- What was that? [Troy clears throat]

- Bless you, bless you, allergy season.

Let's talk about that barter more.

- Okay.

Okay, well I figure

if you could help me get into tip top tone and tight shape

for my wedding and my baby,

I promise I'll get you down an aisle.

- Deal.

- Deal? - Deal.

But, almost, but you gotta do what I say in the gym.

No whining and no complaining.

- Okay, got it, same here, though, all right?

You might be the fitness guru, with your strong hands,

but I am the love guru, so you listen to what I say.

- Okay. - All right.

- This is good, I like this. [laughs]

- So, anything new with you two? Well, with you?

One, you don't work. - What?

- Booking any new jobs, new roles, anything?

- Well, actually, things are going pretty good

since I switched agents.

I told the last one no more roles that involve

neck rolling, finger snapping, so cliche, you know?

- Yeah, very cliche, I mean, not every black woman's

cut from the came cloth, so good for you.

- Exactly. - Good for you.

- Babe, why don't you tell her about the Sanaa Lathan movie.

- Oh, okay, so this is so... - Oh, I'm sorry to cut you off

sis, oh I'm so sorry to cut you off,

I forgot to tell you that Kimora Lee Simmons,

she wants yours truly to help her find a man,

so you're in good hands.

I'm good at match-making. - Girl, wait, hold up,

all right, I've had enough, time out, okay?

Piper was talking.

My wife was talking.

- Babe, it's okay.

- Okay, sorry. [scoffs]

Calm down.

- No, no, I'm not gonna calm down.

You always do this. - Do what?

- You've been doing this ever since I've known you.

It's all about Paula.

All right, now I think Piper is too nice

to tell you the truth, but I'm not, okay?

Let me tell you something.

You ain't nothing but a gold-digging prima donna

who wants everybody to bow down and kiss your cankles.

- Okay, first of all, I do not have cankles.

- You do have cankles, that's why

you need to train with him. - I don't have cankles.

- That's why you need to train with him.

- Troy, Troy, Troy. - You take that back.

- Do me a favor and stop for a second.

Paula, you please sit down.

- No, no, no, I'm tired of pretending, man, okay?

Look, Paula, I don't really like you.

You're not a cool person. - Oh, oh, oh, feeling's mutual.

- You need to fix yourself, all right?

- You need to get a job.

- Oh, oh, I'm gonna get a job.

And let me tell you something, before I sit up here

and let you disrespect my wife in my home,

I'm just gonna leave, okay?

Because I know if I ask you to leave,

it's gonna get me in trouble with her,

we gonna have some issues, so I'm gonna take my plate,

I'm gonna sit in the kitchen, I'm a be at peace, all right?

And maybe you could work something out with him

where you can get your cankles done, okay?

How about that?

The unemployed man speaks.

- No one listens, though.

So when are you gonna apologize?

I'm not desperate, Paula.

- No, Reggie, I'm just saying it's normal for someone

who's been single for as long as you have to just wanna stop

We wanna make sure Lucky's it, okay?

- I feel like you're giving me judgment, Reggie.

Let me set the record straight for you, okay?

Piper and I, we grew up broke, I'm talking real broke.

Sleeping in the same bed, roaches, rats, everything.

And I promised myself I'd never live like that again.

Ever, no matter what happened.

And just so you know,

things have been working out fine since,

thank you very much.

- You know, you can bring it down.

You at a 12, I need you at about a eight, calm down.

- Well, you're the one that wanted to throw the topic

of discussion on the table, so deal with it.

And just so you know,

I'm not ashamed for marrying a white guy.

- Where is all this coming from?

- Black men, that's where it's coming from.

I dated plenty of black guys, and I'll let you know

that Paula always foots the bill,

but John takes care of me like a man's supposed to,

he's a provider, okay?

And John takes better care of me

than all the black men I've ever dated put together.

You have been informed.

in a couple minutes?

Everything's fine, I just need a few minutes.

I'll call you back in a few.

Okay, bye.

- Of course it is.

'Cause everybody's lucky in love except Paula.

I mean really talk?

- Yeah.

- You can't marry John.

- No, why, Reggie? Huh, there's plenty of

loveless marriages out there, okay?

Why should ours be any different?

- Because you want real love, I know you do.

- I used to.

I mean, everybody wants real love.

- Then wait. - Wait?

- Wait for it.

- I don't know if you've noticed, Reggie,

but the clock's a'ticking over here.

I highly doubt that there's someone better than John

just waiting to take care of me and love me.

- Look, whether you know it or not,

you're not the only person that's lonely.

You're not the only person that's starving

for affection and love.

Get over yourself, please.

- Well, it shouldn't be that hard, Reggie.

I mean, look at me, I am beautiful.

- And modest, too, apparently, and that's part of the problem.

- Ugh, I feel like I'm in therapy.

- Paula, as long as I've known you,

you have pranced around here

like the world owes you something.

Ah, it doesn't, okay?

Just because you're blessed in the looks department

does not mean you're entitled to love,

or anything else, for that matter.

You gotta look for it just like the rest of us.

Am I surprised you're marrying for money?

Not at all.

But the sad part is, a few years from now,

after you and John have a couple beautiful, little kids,

he's gonna replace you

with a woman that actually loves him for him,

and you're gonna sit around the rest of your life

collecting child support checks, miserable and alone.

- No, because, but...

- There are no buts, and I'm not done.

If this is the road that you wanna go down,

I'll support you, I'll help you pack.

I'll even go to the wedding.

I got a brand new suit in the back I've been dying to wear.

Okay, but do not expect me to pat you on the back

for deceiving this man so you can take his money,

have a little bit of financial security,

and live happily ever after.

That sad part is, I actually thought you were cut

from a different cloth.

Like, I really felt sorry for you the other night

when Troy was talking about you like that.

But Troy was right. You're selfish.

And when you get down to it, you're cut from the same exact

gold-digging cloth as most of the women in this city.

- Thanks for the talk, Reggie.

- I'm just trying to be a good friend and be honest, Paula.

- You're late. - I'm here.

- My time is valuable.

- I'm sorry I'm late, okay?

- Apology accepted. - Good.

- We gonna start with crunches.

- But we usually end with crunches.

- Well, today we're gonna start with crunches.

Here we go, have a ball. [audience laughing]

[Paula sighs]

[audience laughing]

That is not a crunch.

What is your problem?

Oh, you're ignoring me?

- Hmm, I wonder what could be my problem.

What is my problem?

Oh, oh, I wonder

if it has anything to do with the fact

that you called me a trifling,

shallow gold digger.

- Hey, hey. - Do you remember that, Reggie?

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, excuse me.

- That was rude, it was completely despicable.

- Do you need me to escort her up out of here?

- No, she's just blowing off a little steam,

workout got a little heated.

- Okay, but she can't be scaring off the customers.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get loud.

- Yes, yes, see, that was very ghetto, okay?

And we run an upscale establishment, here.

If you can't keep it under control,

you might wanna get a membership at the Y.

- It's cool, thanks, Stanley.

- All right, I'm just saying, you know.

- For your information, I'm calling off my engagement.

- Yeah, right. - I am.

- You're right, I'm a gold digger.

I've been one my whole life.

But I figure it's time that I, you know,

settle for an average Joe, you know, like you.

Guy that lives paycheck to paycheck,

but can still afford to take me to dinner

at a chain restaurant, or something.

I don't know any,

but I know there's a lot of chain restaurants,

and buy me some cheap chocolates for my birthday, ew.

Okay, I can't wait, I look forward to that.

- Average Joe?

- Average Joe, like you, just perfectly average.

- You have no idea.

- Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt.

Paula, hi! - Hey, how you doing?

- Good to see you. - Good to see you.

- Um, is this a bad time?

- No, I think I had enough workout for today, anyway.

- Yeah. - You guys have a good one.

- Hey. - Hi.

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, I just,

I know you said we weren't gonna play games,

and I wanted to see you.

- You don't have to apologize, I'm glad you came.

- Hmm, I had a great time last night.

- I did, too, a very, very good time.

- Very, very. - Yeah, when you say it twice,

that means you serious.

- Oh, okay, well thank you, thank you.

- Yeah, so now, what was your favorite part?

- Oh, well, um, all of it. - Mine, too.

- I have a question. - Mm-hmm.

- Would you mind not going to soup and salad tonight?

I was thinking I could come over, cook you dinner?

- I would love that. - Yay.

- Love it. - Okay, 6:30.

- Okay. - I'll bring everything.

- Please do, I'll be smiling when you...

get there.

- I'll be smiling the rest of the day.

- I must be living right.

- Mm, must be. [laughs]

♪♪

- Oh yeah, I forgot to ask you, so did you decide what charity

you're going to donate the money to?

Because if you're looking for a good charity,

your boy right here, I need it. - Whatever.

Yes, I decided,

that old Boys and Girls Club we used to go to.

- Oh man, that's still open? - Just barely.

That's my point, man, they need some help bad,

keeping that program going.

- Mm, that's pretty cool, man.

How much you thinking about donating?

- A million dollars.

- A million dollars? - What's wrong with that?

- Man are you crazy?

You can't give them that kind of money.

- Why not?

- I don't know why not, it's just a lot of money,

and you can't. Look, dude, trust me,

next thing you know, you're just gonna have

people coming up to you asking you for money,

trying to get loans.

You don't want that. - Like you?

- Oh, but, brother, I'm your friend,

I'm your family. I'm talking about strangers.

- Oh, you don't want me to have no strange moochers?

- Right, see I'm a familiar moocher.

That's something different.

- Have you ever heard of an anonymous donation?

They don't exactly have to know who gave them the money.

- Wait a minute, so you mean to tell me

you're gonna donate a million dollars,

and you don't want them to know where it came from?

- Exactly, now you got my point.

- Well, you a better man than me

because if the shoe was on the other foot,

I'd be broadcasting that all over the place.

- See, and that's your problem, man,

you can't keep your mouth shut.

[audience laughing] [knocking at door]

- Oh, I got it, I got it, chill.

[Troy humming]

- Hey, how you doing? - Good.

- Troy Drummond. - Lucky James.

- Pleasure to meet you.

Come on in. - Hi.

Thank you. - Let me get that bag.

[laughs] - Look at you.

So nice... see, you brought groceries,

and you about to get to cooking and all that.

Well, I'll tell you what, I'll give you guys some privacy.

But just a note to yourself, I come over here a lot,

you know, to eat, you know, leftovers, things like that,

so keep this in mind when you're cooking,

just take it easy on the salt today, okay?

Because of my blood pressure.

I got high blood pressure, a little bit.

- He's a comedian, don't pay him any mind, I don't.

[Lucky laughs] - Hey, uh, I wasn't joking.

- No, you were leaving.

- I was serious. - Bye, Troy, yes.

- Oh, oh, I get it. - It was nice to meet you.

- It was nice to meet you, too. All right, now.

- All right now, get the... man if you don't.

- Oh, and I'm allergic to mushrooms.

[audience laughing]

- Is he insane? - Yes, very.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Kitchen, yes, I see it.

- And I see it. Get over here.

Mm, you know, this is almost too good to be true.

- Mm, almost, but not quite.

I think we just need to take it once step at a time.

- Mm-hmm.

- First step would be putting me down, though, you know,

'cause I can't cook my dinner from up there.

- That makes sense. - Mm-hmm.

- Oh, you know what, I don't know if I told you,

I love cooking, I'm a decent cook, but I love cooking.

I do love eating, though, I'm better at it.

- Yeah, well I've been cooking my whole life.

Actually, no, before I became a nutritionist,

I was cooking a lot of pastries, homemade cakes,

and cookies, oh, I made homemade donuts

that would blow your mind.

- Mm, and I love sweets, I wish I knew you back then.

- I think that you will enjoy this, too.

We're gonna do a little Italian, is that okay?

- Mm-hmm. - Maybe spaghetti?

- Okay.

- And I got a treat for you tonight.

The James family marinara,

homemade, sun-dried tomato pesto.

It's a secret, really.

- That sounds good, too, I can't wait.

- Well, you're gonna have to, and not in here.

'Cause there's only one chef in the kitchen when I'm cooking,

and that's me.

- Okay.

- Out. - All right, you waving that.

- Get out. - Those are dangerous.

- It is, you're gonna get hurt. - I can help with anything.

- No, I'm a lady, I got this.

I know how to take care of a man.

- Okay.

- Mm.

- All right, I'll be over here watching the game.

- Okay, I do have one question.

- Mm-hmm? - Pots.

- In that cabinet right next to you, to you left.

- Ah, thank you.

- All right.

A meal fit for a king. - And you deserve it.

- Thank you. - Now bow your head.

- A little bossy, okay.

- Lord, thank you for the food and the fellowship,

and thank you for new beginnings.

- In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

- Amen.

Dig in.

- Yes. - Yes, yes, I'm hungry.

- Question. - Mm-hmm.

- How did you get into nutrition?

- I used to be very overweight. - Really?

- Mm-hmm.

- I would have never guessed, you look great.

- Thank you, thanks. No, it took a lot of hard work.

Long hours in the gym, and just restricting my diet a lot.

No more donuts.

- Aw, shame. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- That's one of my favorite parts of being a trainer,

training women. - Oh, oh I bet.

- No, see, here you go, it's nothing like that at all.

It's more challenging, you know?

And women, I find, you guys are much more gracious

when you finally get the results that you wanted

from working out, you know.

You guys are also your biggest critics.

- Yeah, I guess.

You know, I think I've gotten better with that

the older I've gotten, but, no, no,

I'm definitely still my worst critic.

- See? - Yeah, mm.

- So what's next for you?

- I think I'm just gonna go home.

I have a couple of client meetings tomorrow.

[audience laughing]

- Not tonight, I mean in life.

You know, Paula told me all about you,

and I'm loving the things I'm learning,

but what do you want?

- Um, wow, I am looking for a relationship that...

Uh, could potentially lead to something more long-term.

- You can actually say the M word.

I promise I won't put you out. You wanna be married.

- Yes, yes, I do, I wanna be married.

I don't know, men just have such a problem

with that word, you know?

- Boys have a problem with the word marriage.

Men, we're fine with it.

I wanna be married, too.

- Okay, I wanna travel.

I wanna see, like, the whole world.

- Okay, top dream destinations, go.

- Wow, oh, go, um, okay.

Australia, Ecuador, Greece, Thailand, Italy, Egypt,

oh, Sweden, Alaska, Hawaii, um.

- That's a good list right there, so far.

You got a couple of my favorites in there, actually.

Gotta add Germany, Russia, even if it's really cold,

Tibet, and then London.

- Ah, interesting, I like it.

I'd love to travel with you.

- Same here. We should go.

- Oh, yes, yes, let's go, mm-hmm.

- No, like, let's go.

Pick a place.

- Oh, okay, we're daydreaming.

Um, you know what, let's go to Greece first.

- You're kidding, right?

- Not even a little.

- Okay, 'cause I can make it happen,

so if you're not serious right now,

don't play with me, that is not nice.

- Lucky, I am very serious.

Look, I can get off whenever you can get off.

We can go, okay?

I'm trying to get a couple of these cities

knocked off of my list before I have kids.

I say something wrong?

- I'm not having kids.

- You don't want children.

- No.

I mean, it was in my profile, I told Paula that

in the interview, I told her that.

- Well, she must have misunderstood

because I specifically requested a woman

looking to eventually get married

and start a family, I want some kids.

- Oh my god.

This is terrible.

I don't know what to say.

- Um, I mean, I would consider adoption.

Is it that you can't have kids?

- No, I just don't want kids. I don't...

I've never wanted kids.

I just always saw it as my husband and I

and it just being the two of us.

Oh, wow, is this a deal-breaker for you?

- I'm sorry, yeah, it is.

♪♪

- You should have told me I'm such an awful person.

- Paula, you're not an awful person,

you're just a little teeny bit self-absorbed.

- Just a little bit? - Just a teeny bit.

- Stop it.

I just can't believe it took Reggie to make me realize

I just haven't been living genuinely, you know?

I mean, I've been lying to myself,

I've been lying to all the men in my life,

for just way too long.

- Well, you know it's never too late to change, sis.

- You know, you're right.

I broke off my engagement with John.

- What? - Yeah.

- Are you sure about that? - I am so positive.

Piper, I just, John, he didn't deserve that, you know?

I mean, I can't believe how heartless I've been.

I mean, you know how Mom and Dad struggled.

- Mm-hmm. - Their whole life, I just...

I didn't want to have to struggle.

- I get it, I understand.

You know, me and Troy aren't where we wanna be financially

right now, but we're determined to make it together,

and when we do, that's when we're gonna start our family.

- That's good.

I'm so scared, Piper. [sighs]

I'm, like, all alone now, you know?

I don't even know what true love looks like.

- Oh, Paula, I'm proud of you.

And there's nothing wrong with being alone for a little bit

while you figure out what you truly want.

- That's what Reggie said.

He said just wait.

You know what, he's kind of like the perfect guy.

- What? - Huh?

- What are you talking about? - What are you talking about?

- What you talking about? - What you talking about?

[laughing]

- What? - I like Reggie.

I always have, actually, I just, I guess I didn't realize

until things got too close with him and Lucky.

You always want what you can't have.

- I mean, I knew you had a crush on him,

but I didn't know it was like that.

- Yep, I mean, I didn't tell you because, uh,

who's with Mr. Bigmouth Troy?

You, and he would have told Reggie.

Gosh, that dud has a big mouth. - All right, that's a good call.

I know, that one can't hold water for nothing.

Nothing. [laughing]

- Nothing. That's your man.

I just wish that Reggie had more money.

- Paula. - What?

- You have got to stop focusing on that, seriously.

- No, Pipe, not in like a gold digger way.

I'm just saying, you know, all the things I want,

you know, a house and a family,

I just don't see how he can support me with his income,

you know, his salary. - Mm.

- But it doesn't matter, I guess.

I'm day dreaming.

I don't think he really likes me, anyway, you know.

Him and Lucky are hitting it off so great,

they're halfway down the alter somewhere,

and I can thank myself for that one.

Way to go, Paula. - Okay, look,

I have to tell you something about Reggie.

- What? - He just...

- Up, guilty and guilty.

- Stop, hey babe. - Y'all look so guilty,

it's a shame. What's up?

[phone ringing] - Oh my gosh, I know this

is gonna be John. - Did you make coffee?

- Mm-hmm. - Oh, I'm gonna go get it, okay.

[phone ringing] - Yep, he keeps calling.

- Paula, you have to give him the time.

- Ugh, I don't want to think about anything.

I can't take this today.

- Listen, it's all going to work out fine.

I'm so proud of you. - Thank you.

- Please be gentle with John. - I will.

- Be nice. - I will, I'm a big girl, now.

I'm trying to be. - Hey, now. [laughing]

- I will be gentle.

- Be gentle. - Gentle.

- I love you. - I love you, too.

See you guys.

- All right, bye.

What's going on with her?

Why you telling her to be gentle and all that whatever?

- She's turning over a new leaf.

She broke off her engagement with John.

- What, why?

- She admitted that it was about the money

and that she didn't love him. - What a minute,

so the gold digger is turning in her tools?

Oh, that's amazing, I never thought I'd live to see the day.

- Shut up, fool.

Can you escort me to the bedroom, please?

I need help moving some furniture.

- What?

- I need a big, tall, handsome man like you.

- Oh, well let's go, I will definitely help you

move some furniture in this bedroom.

[Piper laughing]

- What's up?

Hey, man, what's going on with you and Paula, man?

- Nothing's going on with me and Paula,

and why in the world are you dressed like this?

- Man, she broke off our engagement yesterday.

She says it's not me, that it's her.

But is it a coincidence that all this started happening

since she's been doing her personal training thing with you?

- There is nothing going on with us.

- Yeah, right, look,

I knew that my white boy swag bothers her,

but I can't change that, that's who I am.

- Yo, excuse me, um, so you the same white boy

from the other night, Paula's fiance?

- Ex-fiance, yeah that's me.

- Okay, cool, guess them Timbs give you bass

in your voice, then, huh? - John?

What are you doing here?

And why are you dressed like Vanilla Ice?

- Is this what you want?

Because I could change the way I dress.

- No.

- Look, don't leave us, all right?

D-Don't leave me.

- Okay, John, you're embarrassing yourself.

You're embarrassing me.

This has nothing to do with the way you're dressed.

Come on, just...

- Excuse me, excuse me. - What's up?

- Who is Reggie Brooks? - Hey, oh, right, over there.

He did it, come on! - Stanley, snitch!

Why you snitching?

- Mr. Brooks, Channel Five News, hello.

We are doing a series of stories on giving back to the community.

Is it true that you donated a million dollars

to the Boys and Girls Club in town?

- A million dollars? - What?

- A million dollars?

That's fed time, I'm outta here, yo.

Yeah, I knew this equipment was stolen.

- S-Stanley, what are you talking about?

Listen, everybody calm down for a second, first of all.

And secondly, how did you even hear about that?

- Well, people just don't donate a million dollars

every day, Mr. Brooks.

- Ma'am, look, okay, this is a place of business,

so is it possible you guys can come back another time,

or something, please? - So is it true?

Did you in fact donate the money, Mr. Brooks?

- Yes, I did.

And I will give you a story if you

and your rather large camera man

walk out front with me so the rest of these people

can work out in peace, now.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

[audience laughing]

- You're wearing Timbs in the gym?

- Yo, he just admitted it on national TV.

- Hey, what's going on?

- Oh, I'll call you back. Oh, nothing, nothing.

Your boy Reggie's involved in some Mafia mess, yeah.

Yeah, he stole a million dollars

then had the nerve to donate it to the Boys and Girls club.

[speaking foreign language]

- Girl, do me a favor, stop.

What did I tell you about talking Spanish?

It do stuff to me, don't do that.

[speaking foreign language] No, stop it.

- No, just go, John. I'm sorry, but just go.

- You still feel like working out, Paula?

- Excuse me, Reggie, mi amor.

You expect us to go back to work without demanding answers?

- Yeah, what's up?

- All right, um, recently I came into

a large amount of money.

I didn't want to tell anybody, you know.

I shouldn't have to.

I just kinda wanted to keep everything under the radar.

- Shoot, if that'd been me, I'd have told everybody.

It's me!

- Um, are you gonna keep working here?

- Um, yeah, at least for now.

I mean, I like what I do, nothing's changed.

- Oh, everything's changed.

- Yeah, hey look, man, sorry for your loss.

How much did you get?

- You know what, that's not something you ask.

- I was just... - It's not.

Can we please get back to work? - Oh, okay.

- Terrible, how you sleep at night?

- Wow, you're a really, really good man, Reggie.

I mean, a million dollars to the Boys and Girls club.

- That's where I came from, I had to give back.

- So when are you gonna tell Lucky?

- I'm not. [clears throat]

- Uh, you have to.

- Lucky and I aren't gonna work out.

- I'm sorry, you said you're not working out?

Oh, my gosh, that is so terrible.

I-I... oh.

I thought you guys were doing great.

- Yeah, we were,

up until I found out that she doesn't want kids.

- But that was in her profile.

- No, it was in her profile that she doesn't want kids.

- Okay, wait a minute, are you sure, Reggie?

Because I don't mess up,

and I'm pretty sure I didn't get that wrong.

- Somehow you got that wrong.

- Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, that's terrible.

Oh, I have to call Lucky and apologize.

How could this happen?

- No, don't bother calling.

Look, it is what it is at this point.

Maybe we're just not meant to be together, okay?

I mean, she's a great girl, you know.

She's gonna make some guy who doesn't want kids,

or already has them, very, very happy.

- I'm sorry.

Nobody wants to be alone.

- Do you mind if we do this training session another day?

- Oh... - I'm not in the mood right now.

he's not white enough, or he's too white,

or one of the two, it's ridiculous, whichever one.

- Wow, that sounds like it was a circus.

I'm glad I wasn't there to see that.

And, well, you gotta look at it like this, too.

The secret is out.

Now everybody knows you're a rich man.

- Eh, people make donations all the time.

I'm sure it will blow over.

How much did you donate? - A million dollars.

- A million dollars?

- Yep. - Yeah.

That's not blowing over any time soon.

- Nope.

- Aw, Reggie, that was so nice.

You're a good guy. - Thank you.

- You deserve a good woman, really.

- I'm starting to think I might not ever find her.

- Oh, no, you were close, man.

It just means that the right woman

is right around the corner.

- Yes, and speaking of the right one,

I have something I need to tell you.

- Okay.

- What, what you need to tell him?

- Shh. - Oh, oh.

- Finish, please. - It's about Paula.

- Okay, thank you.

- I was speaking with her earlier,

and she's going through a lot.

- I know, I've been talking to her a lot lately, too.

- Okay, and you're going through a lot,

she's going through a lot.

Maybe you guys don't have to do it alone.

- You know, no, nah-uh, I'm done with the whole

match-making thing forever.

- I get that. Okay, I get it.

But Paula really, really likes you.

She told me she didn't realize how much

until you and Lucky started to vibe so well together.

- See, I don't know, I don't know about that.

I don't know if that's just another one of Paula's games.

You know she always has to have all the attention.

- That may be true, but for the first time,

she's feeling a way she's never felt before.

You're the only person who's been able to get through

to her, to make her realize that using men for money

isn't really gonna get her anywhere.

[chuckles] - That's real convenient,

after she figured out my boy is loaded, okay?

I mean, people change, I almost proposed to my homeboy.

- Who? - Okay, pause.

- Okay. - But you got money now, so...

- He's saying exactly what I'm thinking.

- Yeah, but she didn't know about the money.

- Yes, she did, she was right next to me

when the news crew ran in the gym interviewing me.

- Okay, but she came and talked to me early this morning.

- Don't look at me.

Look, I will say this, okay?

Although Paula is a gold digger, - Ex.

- Ex-gold digger,

I do think she's...

kinda cool, you know.

It looks like for right now, she's done digging.

She done digging? Yeah?

This is my best friend.

- Hey, I'm happy, very happy

that she's turned over a new leaf, that's beautiful.

I ain't gonna lie, um,

I've always kinda had a thing for Paula,

but out of sight, out of mind, you know,

especially when she came back talking about how she's engaged.

It just... it stopped mattering, okay?

And when I did take a second to wonder

and ask about why we never tried to get together,

you know,

she politely reminded me that I was too broke.

- Well, look, sometimes people grow up,

and they realize what's important in life,

they make decisions.

Paula made a decision to leave John

before she knew you had any type of money.

She really put herself out there

letting me know how she felt about you.

Oh, actually...

she gave me this, for you.

- Well, read it, fool!

Find out what she said.

- She got nice penmanship, I don't get a lot of letters.

- Wow.

- "Dear Reggie,

"this may be hard to believe,

"but for the first time in my life,

"I'm seeing someone for who they are,

"and not what they can do for me.

"I know that you and Lucky are doing great,

"and I don't want to get in the way of that and all,

"but I didn't want to regret not telling you how I feel.

"I'm tired of selling out on love for money.

"Leaving John isn't something I would have even considered,

"had it not been for you.

"It would have been great

"if we both had been single at the same time.

"Who knows where life may have taken us.

"I wish you and Lucky the best life has to offer,

"and I will always be grateful to you

"for helping my find my way back to myself.

"P.S." [chuckling]

"What you don't have in the bank,

"you make up for in personality, character, and charm.

"Signed, Not-so-Lucky in Love, Paula."

[Troy whimpering]

Really?

- No, no. - Really? Sensitivity?

- I'm sneezing, I was sneezing, it's the allergies, pollen.

- Shame. What am I supposed to say?

I don't know what to say.

- Well, look, man, whatever you gotta say,

just make sure that tell it to Paula, okay?

- Well, whatever I gotta say, I'mma say on a full stomach,

'cause I'm finna eat first.

♪♪

- Hey, hey you. - Hey.

I'm glad you could make it.

- Thanks for inviting me. Hey, Troy.

- Hey, Paula, look at you.

You got like this little glow about you.

- A glow?

Stop playing, Troy. [laughs]

- No, no, seriously, like all jokes aside,

you look very happy. - Well, I am.

First time in a long time.

- That's good, that's good.

Best things are yet to come.

- How do you know?

- I just know. - Mm, you just know?

- Cheers, you guys.

- Oh, wait, I don't have anything to toast with.

- You know what, you can share mine.

- Okay.

- All right, so, um, out with the old.

- In with the new.

- To new beginnings.

- And second chances.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- I was thinking, I want us to go on a vacation together.

- [gasps] Oh, where, when?

[Paula and Piper laughing]

- I know my schedule's open.

- We know. - Sounds like fun.

- I'm kidding, man, look, I was thinking somewhere tropical.

You know, I wanna see the water. - Oh, how about a cruise?

- Oh, no, no, no, no, Reggie's scared of boats.

- Really, man?

Come on, that was on a list of stuff

you weren't supposed to say.

- Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay.

- It's not that I'm scared of cruises,

I just prefer to be on land.

- That's okay, I'll protect you.

- Okay, see what you just did, man?

- Man, will you let it go? Come on, man, relax.

Look, how about this, how about we all go to Vegas?

- Oh, yeah, you know, I've always wanted to go there

and take a picture of an Eiffel tower

and pretend like I was in Paris.

- Paris. [laughing]

- Wait, why pretend? Let's go to Paris.

- Um, because Paris is pretty expensive.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not ready

to spend thousands of dollars on a trip.

- Yeah, we're not really in a place to be

spending that kind of money either, Reggie.

- Yeah.

- My gigs really aren't cutting it like that,

and Troy, he, yeah. - I'm lazy.

[group laughing]

- To a point.

- But no, look, I was thinking, if it's okay with you guys.

That I would cover it.

I mean, I'm not gonna suggest a group trip

and then not take care of everything,

and I think we could celebrate

the recent financial developments in my life,

and it could be a late birthday present for you,

but you won't get another one for a couple years.

- Wow, that's what's up. - What do you think, babe?

- I think we are going to Paris. - Then we going to Paris.

That's what I'm talking about. - Amen.

- Oh, and we'll do separate rooms,

so as not to rush things.

- Really? - Yeah.

- You'd do that? Thank you.

- That is so romantic, Reggie.

How come you never got us separate rooms

before we got married?

- Aw, girl, 'cause you would have been

sneaking up in my room, anyway.

- Oh, stop it. - Why waste the money?

- Stop it! [laughing]

- All right, all right, what's happening,

what's happening, what's happening?

Thank y'all for coming out tonight.

That's right, that's right.

- This is gonna be great.

I wonder if they got french fries in France.

I think that's everything. Um, I got my maps of Paris,

I got my French for Dummies book.

That's everything. [phone ringing]

Oh.

Paula, hey Paula.

- Hey, just makin' sure you're gonna be headed

this way soon so we can avoid traffic.

- Yep, I'm just doing my little last minute double check

to make sure I got everything, and then I'm headed to you.

- Yay, I cannot believe we're going to Paris.

- Well, believe it, baby, I am so, so excited,

and I will be there shortly.

- Okay, see you. - Okay, bye.

- Bye.

- I'm ready. Oh, my passport.

[knocking at door]

- Hi. - Hey.

- I'm sorry to just pop up like this.

I-I was gonna call you,

but I didn't think you'd want to see me.

- I didn't think I'd see you after our last conversation.

- Look, Reggie, can I come in for just a second?

Thank you.

Look, Reggie,

since the last time we talked...

I've been doing some soul-searching,

and I called my grandmother,

told her about our situation,

and she really just had two questions.

- Which were?

- She asked me if I thought I loved you,

and she asked me what I was willing to do for love.

- Look, Lucky, it's not that simple.

- No, it is, it is that simple.

I made a mistake.

I made a mistake and I want a second chance, okay?

Because I am willing to make that ultimate sacrifice

if it means a chance,

just a chance at a future with you.

Oh, I'm interrupting, you're going somewhere.

Are you going on a trip?

- Yeah.

- Oh my god.

I feel so... I feel so stupid, excuse me.
