[Vinny] Because see, sometimes

when I'm getting freaky,

my freak sessions will seep into the hallway.

Nobody wanna hear all that, Mr. Vinny.

Vinny, stop being nasty.

-That's just nasty. -Yes, you know what?

I'm praying for you and your lost Christian.

Hopefully she can find her way.

Oh, you ain't got to pray for me.

You need to pray for Brown.

He the one that ain't got nobody to play with him.

[Brown] Oh, you a lie.

I got a lot of people who wanna play with me.

Like who?

[Brown] Like, what's the sister at church? She-

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, big fella, whoa.

That's too much information.

She talking about... [machine whirs]

She wanted to... [machine whirs]

What?

They was talking about... [machine whirs]

-Who was they? -Them.

Yeah, who? What's her name?

Yes.

[machine whirs] You.

-[Cora] What? -Yourself.

You better stop screwing around.

[Vinny] He's for himself.

Man, please, Brown,

don't make me throw up this breakfast, man.

-This is stupid. -Hello, everyone.

Hey, young fella, what's up?

Hey, Brian, did you knock?

It's Brandon.

Oh, B-Brandon, Brandon. Yeah, yeah.

-Good to see you. -Good to see you, Mr. Green.

It's Mr. Brown.

Oh, Mr. Brown.

And don't be disrespectin'.

-No sir, no sir. -Don't say it.

Mr. Brown, Ms. Cora, Vinny, how you doing?

-Hey, what's going on? -Hey, how you doing, Brandon?

-You here to see your dad? -Yeah, he kept calling me.

I told him I would stop by before I left.

Oh, oh, you... You about to leave?

[Brandon] Yes, ma'am. Tomorrow morning.

Oh, my goodness.

The judge is really gonna miss y'all.

Yeah, yeah. You all he been talking about

since y'all surprised him for his birthday.

That's right.

Boy, that thing set in my heart and got me emotional.

That's 'cause you soft, Brown!

Like toilet paper.

-Hey, Judge. -[Brown] Say it to my face!

Step over here across this line and see what happens.

-[Cora] Mr. Brown! -He called me soft again.

-Soft. -You come say it to my face.

Tell him I said he's soft.

I could drop kick you in your ear.

-Bring it on down here, Brown. -I'll yank your eardrum.

Please. I need it.

Would you two please stop?

-No, I want it. -Stop calling him soft.

[Brandon] These two do this all the time?

I mean every day, all day, baby.

It's ridiculous.

That's because you take everything so seriously.

It's not ridiculous. It's fun.

Well, try listening to it all day, every day.

Well, that's the blessings that comes

from living with people.

Blessing? It's more like a curse.

No, it's a blessing.

Look, I'm glad you stopped by.

I was hoping to see you yesterday.

Oh, well, you know,

Lisa and I took Troy to see that new Pixar movie.

Oh, I would have loved to have done that.

-You cut that out. -What?

Since when did you become a family man?

What... Excuse me?

[theme music]

? No matter what you do ?

? I love you ?

? No matter where you go ?

? I'm behind you for sure ?

? Always remember ?

? Love will never walk ?

? We'll make it if we stay together ?

Look, look.

I know I haven't been the perfect father.

Hey, Dad,

we don't have to do this.

I'm not here to make you feel any type of way.

Okay, this week was about moving past all that.

Well, it sounds like you're still holding a grudge.

No, no grudge.

Well, it feels like it to me.

Just... It's just my opinion.

Look, if that were the case,

then I would have never shown up

to help you celebrate your birthday.

I've come to peace with my past,

and I've forgiven you.

Whoa. [chuckles]

You've... You've forgiven me?

For what have you forgiven me?

For feeding you?

For providing for you?

For always keeping a roof over your head?

For sending you to private schools

and college?

And that, you've forgiven me for that?

[Cora] Uh, Judge, I...

Judge, I think...

[Reginald] No, no, no, no, no, Cora.

I would love to hear my son explain

what he's forgiven me for.

Look, I'm not doing this with you, Dad.

All right?

We're leaving tomorrow, and I told you I would come

by to let you know before we left.

Well, tomorrow, I...

I thought you were gonna come to my banquet dinner.

The DA's office is honoring me.

And I thought I told you that we couldn't make it.

Well, you did, but I was-

-I was hoping that you- -[Brandon] Dad!

We're not available.

Not available?

Or you just choose not to come?

I mean, Lisa said you were available.

-You were free. -Wow, not the guilt trip.

I don't think you've ever come to any of my baseball games,

band concerts, or awards ceremonies.

-So stop it. -Is that what this is about?

[Brandon] Look, Dad, just...

Just give me a hug, please.

-It was good catching up. -Wait.

Wait. I'm...

I'm free for dinner tonight,

if you all have time.

I'll see what Lisa says.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, everyone.

Bye-bye.

Oh, good. Miss Anastasia.

-I was looking for you. -I'm right here.

They're still running the Dyna Woman marathon.

Oh, that little superhero woman?

Not little.

She's major, darling.

You really like the show?

-You should watch it. -Uh, no.

I tried that.

It's too old and corny.

No shade.

Sounded like shade.

How can I help you?

So, there's this guy.

-A guy? -[both giggling]

Now, this is right up my alley.

-Step into my office, darling. -Okay.

So, he's a teacher's assistant in my wellness class.

Oh, love that.

He's smart, in college,

and already shows leadership skills.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All of that.

But first and foremost,

he is fine.

Fine like in kind of cute and grows on you,

or take your breath away fine?

Like he makes you sweat

the moment he enters a room fine?

That's the one.

When his eyes gaze and capture your eyes,

it takes everything in you not to faint or scream.

Yes, that kind.

Well, child, this is the one you gotta catch.

See, you got me.

I knew I came to the right person.

Okay. This will take work.

We better get started. Tell me everything.

Everything like what?

Where he lives, his hobbies,

if he's on a sports team.

Okay. Well, I keep seeing a lacrosse bag and sweatshirt.

Okay. That's a start.

So, first thing, girlfriend,

you always gotta start

with doing your homework.

A woman has to learn to be an expert detective.

You gotta know his moves

so you can conveniently show up at places,

have things to provoke conversations.

Isn't that a little stalkerish?

[Anastasia] Oh, girl,

every woman has to have a little stalker in them.

That's how we'll know

the kind of bait we're going to catch.

[both laughing]

This is so good, Miss Anastasia.

-Ooh, what's so good? -Shh.

I got you, girl...

Oh, nothing, Mom.

Okay, nothing.

I mean, you two were in here talking about something

that sounded good.

Oh, no, we weren't talking about anything.

Anyways, I'm off to class.

Okay, bye.

Love you. Bye.

Love you, too.

Aw.

Everything cool with my girl, Miss Anastasia?

Things are good.

Why do you ask?

I mean, you two were obviously in here

talking about something, girl.

Oh, yes.

She just wanted some advice.

Oh!

Advice about what?

Uh, I promised I would keep her confidence.

Oh.

But it was nothing.

She needed advice on a guy.

But don't tell her I said anything.

Advice about a guy?

I mean, what guy?

I wonder why she didn't come and talk to me.

Not all young people feel comfortable talking

to their parents.

Oh, please.

You know Sandra knows she can come

and talk to me about anything.

Oh, well, that's all for the Dyna Woman marathon.

I'm off to the nail shop. Ta-ta.

Ta-ta.

[soft dramatic music]

Judge Junie, you okay?

I've been better.

Well, you don't look better right now.

Mr... Would you stop?

Cora, he look like he ran through a blender or something.

Well, you know, that's not helping.

No, but I'm trying to help you tell people the truth.

That's what help you. The truth is gonna set you free.

-He free now. -[Reginald] Mm.

You spend your whole life trying to provide for your kids.

You sacrifice to give them things that you never had.

I know. I'm with you when you're right.

-Mm. -Shoes, I sacrificed for Cora.

I sacrificed because that Cora could eat.

Boy, she'd turn a bag of chips up.

She was just eating them.

And the little juices, she loved them.

You know, juices put weight on you.

I had to get a second job just to get them juices for her.

Then you understand my frustration.

I do. I understand.

I did everything I could for that kid.

And then have him mad at me for the last ten years.

Not speaking to me make me feel

like a terrible parent.

Oh, well, that sounds very hurtful.

I am hurt.

Well, sometimes the ones closest to you hurt you the most.

It's more than being hurt.

You know, I'm mad as hell. I...

You know,

to hell with him!

I'm tired of trying.

[tense music]

Judge Junie, you didn't mean that.

Oh, Cora, I think he meant that.

The way he said it with his face and his heart.

To hell with him!

Mr. Brown, you're not helping.

Oh, I'm trying to help him.

Look, Judge Junie,

you spent 10 years not speaking to your son.

I know you don't wanna go another 10 years.

[Brown] No, you may not have another 10 years.

But I'm just saying,

he need to make up with his son like right now.

Next thing you know, you could be up in the upper room.

You are such a Neanderthal.

Your mama is the a Neanderthal.

I'm trying to be sympathized with you.

Mr. Brown!

I'm trying to help him, Cora.

-You sounded like Vinny. -Oh, Cora, you're right.

The other day, I felt like lying,

cussing, smoking, and drinking.

I had a cigarette taste in my mouth.

I said, where did this cigarette taste come from?

-No! -Cora, I wanted to fornicate.

-[Cora] You what? -I want the fornication.

[Cora] Don't do it. Don't do it.

[Brown] Oh, I'm not gon' do it, Cora.

I'ma keep myself celibacy.

-Okay. -Oh, I feel it.

I can't for the life of me

figure out what his problem is.

You know, I think he's holding some...

some resentment from when he was young.

Hmm. I admit that I wasn't around much.

I was busy. I was trying to provide for him.

I also know that I was a strict father.

[Brown] Well, there ain't nothing wrong with being strict.

I was strict on Cora, wasn't I, Cora?

Yes, you were. But I don't think strict is bad.

[Brown] No, sometimes you got to be strict with these kids.

Yes, because when I was a teacher, you know,

you gotta give them discipline.

Yeah, but, but, Cora,

they got to see the flip side of that.

When you discipline, you got to love, too.

Yeah, you can punish them and put them on punishment.

If you spank, that's what you do.

But they also got to see that you love them.

You can be strict, because my mama was strict.

She'd tear my tail up. She'd... with that switch.

But next thing you know,

an hour or so later,

she had me in her lap.

She was loving me.

She was hugging me.

So that's what they got to see,

is they got to see the flip side of that thing.

They need to see love as well as discipline.

Wow.

You know, that was so profound, Mr. Brown.

What, Cora?

You don't think I can be profanity?

Please excuse me.

-[Brown] You all heard that? -[Cora] Profanity?

-Yes, I got knowledge. -Oh.

[sentimental music]

You gonna spend time with me, ain't you, huh?

It's okay, man.

Knock, knock.

Sandra?

Hey, baby girl.

Hey, Mom.

You came by to talk to me.

Oh, no, no. I know you're relaxing.

Oh, I mean, never too busy for you, baby girl.

Yeah.

You wanna, uh, come in?

You can have a seat if you want.

Thanks, Mom.

But I was wondering if you saw my maroon sweater?

Like, you know the one with the big collar?

Oh, yeah.

Uh...

It's, uh...

It's down in the laundry room.

I just wanted to put the lint roller to it for you.

Okay. Thanks.

[Leah] Wait, wait.

Um...

[Sandra] Yeah?

Sandra, I, um, I don't know.

I feel like it's been forever since we've talked.

Mom, we talk every day.

No.

I mean, like, like, talk, talk.

Like, girl talk.

Talk about what?

You.

You know, like, what's going on with you?

Like, school or...

Uh, school's fine.

Everything's copasetic.

Everything's copasetic.

Okay. What about...

What about boys?

Like, I know there's some new hot boys

on campus, girl.

-No, no. -Yes.

I'm just focusing on my studies.

That's all?

Yeah. That's all.

Anyways, I'm off.

I'm gonna go to the movies.

With a boy? With a boy.

-Mom? -Huh?

-Stop. -[quietly] Stop.

Bye. Love you.

[whispering] Bye. I love you.

Hi, Dad.

-Bye, Dad. -Hey, sweetheart.

-Love you. -Love you, too.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Uh, you're not fine.

I know when you're fine. What's going on?

Sandra doesn't wanna talk to me.

[sighs]

I think I just heard y'all talking, right?

Yeah. She wanna talk about her sweater.

I mean, I wanna talk about the good stuff, Jeremy.

About school, about boys,

like cars, like growing up.

-All of that stuff. -Mm-hmm.

You know they don't wanna talk to us

about the good stuff.

Not the old people.

I mean, but she was okay talking

to Miss Anastasia just today about a boy.

-She did? -She did.

And Miss Anastasia ain't nowhere near her age.

So what?

She ain't know anywhere near her age or your age.

She old as hell.

That part, Jeremy.

Well, let me tell you. As soon as I walked in the room,

they shushed each other and got quiet, right?

So clearly she didn't want to talk to me.

But she was okay, confiding in Miss Anastasia Devereaux,

the one who had 17, like, husbands,

or something like that.

Like, Willie Mae Jackson, Anastasia Devereaux.

What is that?

-Uh- -No, no, no. No, no, no.

And then, they swore each other to, like, secrecy and stuff.

What?

Babe, I think you overthinking this.

How can I be overthinking it, Jeremy?

Like, it's literally what happened.

I walked in the room, they said, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Mm-hmm.

But why are you making this about you?

How is it not about me?

Like, she doesn't wanna talk to me.

-It's about me, Jeremy. -See?

See that right there? It...

It doesn't mean that.

Okay.

All right, fine. It doesn't mean that.

Look, I mean it, okay?

All right, stop getting your feelings

about stuff that does not matter.

I've told you a million times.

When kids are young,

they look up to their parents,

and they love them,

they wanna be around them all the time.

It's like we're their superheroes.

But somewhere in those teenage years,

we become the uncoolest people on the planet.

All right?

They don't wanna be around us.

They wanna be around everybody but us.

But that doesn't mean they don't love us.

Okay? Now...

Let me see that little smile.

A real one, please?

Come on. Cheese?

What are we binge-watching tonight?

I don't know. You pick.

All right, come on.

Oh, how's that, Cora?

-Oh, that looks nice. -You like that?

Mm-hmm.

-Oh, hey, Brian. -Hey.

Brandon, Mr. Brown.

-Oh, yeah, yeah, Brandon. -Yeah, how you doing, Ms. Cora?

I'm all right, all right.

Good. I see y'all got the new camera set up.

Let me know if you need any help with that.

Ah, yeah. You work with cameras?

My company manufactures those.

Oh, maybe you can give us a discount on something.

-I'll see what I can do. -[Brown] Okay, okay.

-Just let me know. -All right.

Well, thank you so much.

So you're here to see your father?

Actually, I just came by to drop off his glasses.

Can you make sure he gets them, please?

Oh, I can.

You're not going to even say nothing to your daddy

now that you're here?

Oh, I didn't wanna disturb the judge.

Well, he would love to be disturbed by you.

-Is that right? -[Cora] Yeah.

[Brown] Yeah.

You really got a problem with your daddy, don't you?

[Cora] Mr. Brown, that's not our business.

It is our business, Cora.

Reggie's a resident here, and he just like family.

-And Brian is the reason- -[Cora] It's Brandon.

Brandon is the reason that he running around here

moping all the time.

Now somebody got to say something.

-Me? -[Brown] Yes, you.

-You. -You didn't know that?

No, I didn't.

You don't miss him?

Not really.

Wow.

Um, you don't mean that.

Well, you can't miss what you never really had.

Well, you have a daddy.

You got a daddy.

I know, but y'all wouldn't understand.

It's complicated.

And the judge was never really present as a father, so...

But he said that.

And he was out trying to provide for you.

Well, yeah, and that was a copout.

Look, I really gotta go.

Can you make sure he gets these?

-Yeah, I'll give him, but y- -[Brandon] Thank you.

[Cora] Oh.

[sentimental music]

That's such a nasty attitude.

That's deep right there.

[sentimental music]

Okay, Cora, I'm gonna take one of these.

We better keep these away from Vinny.

He could have made a movie or something.

Well, I'm just gonna put this away.

Clean this up and... Hey, Judge.

[Reginald] Hello there.

Yep.

Weren't you about to get some milk and cookies?

-You know it. -[Brown] Oh.

You gonna put these or you gonna put that in Vinny's room?

Yeah. No, I'm not gonna put none of these in Vinny's room.

Well, I mean, we gotta watch him.

We'd have Vinny TV up in this piece.

-He'd be streaming live. -We still gotta put these up.

-We gonna get them put up. -Put one outside his door.

-[Cora] Okay, yes. -I'm gonna see what he doing.

Oh, hey, uh, Judge, your son come by.

-He brought your glasses. -[Cora] Okay.

-Brandon was here? -[Brown] Yeah, he come by.

Yes, sir. He did come by.

Well, why didn't anybody tell me?

Did he not know I was here?

Yes, but he didn't want to disturb you.

He thought you were sleeping, taking a nap.

Cora!

-[Cora] What? -[mouthing] He didn't.

-No, he didn't- -Well, I was awake. Damn.

Well, he didn't...

He thought you was asleep.

So that's why I didn't come and tell you.

I probably should have came in there and checked on you.

-[Brown] You a liar. -But y-you...don't.

I probably should have came and checked, Judge.

I'm sorry.

But we just assumed you were asleep. I'm sorry.

[Brown] Cora, you assumed a lie.

Would you...

I'm sorry, Judge.

You just sit there, and look at his face, and lie.

I didn't sit in his face and lie.

You talking about me hanging with Vinny,

and you gonna sit there and lie?

I didn't sit in his face and lie, Mr. Brown.

I was trying to spare his feelings.

Lord forgive me.

I didn't wanna tell him in his face

that his son didn't wanna see him.

-But you lied. -What?

-Cora, you need to repent. -[Cora] Well, I did.

-I just said, Lord forgive me. -You need to get on your knees.

I'm not gonna get down on my knees right now.

Cora, you get right there. Like you at the altar.

Get right there and do it, Cora.

Just like this.

Now, hold your hands and say, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No, get it into your feelings. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

-Sing it up there. -I'm sorry.

-Yes! -I'm sorry.

Say it 10,000 times.

-If you heard 10,000 times, -I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry. -you couldn't say it enough.

-He heard me. -No, not if you lie.

Because a lie, you gonna tell.
