Wait,

I know she is here.

Carter! Mr. Brown, it's too early for all that noise. Y 'all seen Carter?

We haven't seen her yet this morning.

Well, she usually here by now.

Well, she must be running late this morning.

Oh, Carter don't never be running late. Carter's always on time. Even Carter's

entitled to a late day. I'm sure she'll be along soon.

Well, anything we can do for you?

You and her?

Y 'all can't do nothing for me.

Well, good morning to you, too.

This is actually early for you and Cora to be here, isn't it? I thought you guys

were going for a walk each morning.

Yeah, that morning workout. How's that going?

Well, Cora done ditched me for the last couple days.

Well, that was Saturday and Sunday. Maybe she decided to take those days

Well, today is Monday. What's her excuse now?

Getting up early to work out takes a lot of commitment. Well, good morning,

lady. And gentlemen. Oh, yeah, and you too, Brown, king of the billy goats.

What, you trying to say I'm not a lady or a gentleman?

Brown, I'm going to let you work on that yourself, okay?

Is Jeremy down at the hearing with those guys who took his car? Yeah, they're

down there now.

I hope they can put that matter behind them as soon as possible.

You never know, the courts, the way they're backed up, those cases may take

minute to get them resolved. Yeah, with everything going on, I'll be worried

about Cora.

What's wrong with Miss Cora?

Well, I've been looking for her, and she usually here at work by now.

Well, you know, she probably overslept from her hot date last night.

I didn't know she had a hot date. Good for her.

Good for her nothing.

That's a... What the what?

Just what I said. Cora had a hot date last night.

Well, why she didn't tell me nothing about no hot date?

She probably just didn't tell you, that's all. No, no, no. She would have

me. No, she probably didn't want you to know, that's what.

Cora's grown, Mr. Brown.

She doesn't have to check in with you. Not at all. The devil is a liar and you

is too. I'm her daddy. She got to tell me everything.

Who was the hot date with, Vinnie? Do you know? Do I know? Hell, I set it up.

What?

What?

What? You started my daughter with a date. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh,

my God.

No, he's going to be all right.

Look, Brian, look. Keep tricking my daughter.

You know, look, Brian. I can't take it. I'm gone. That's the prayer house. I'm

dead. Look, Brian, you see, you're going to die. Don't be fooling me now. Don't

get my hopes up now, okay? I need you to go.

No matter what you do, I love you. No matter where you go, I'm behind you for

sure.

Wait a minute.

What you mean you set up my daughter with a date?

Just what I said.

I set Ms. Carr up with a hot date.

Well, you're overreacting, Brown. Ain't nobody overreacting. Carr is in trouble.

She is in trouble, and I'm not going to call her.

Brown, what the hell are you doing? I'm calling 911 because she is in trouble.

911.

Good morning, good morning.

There she is right now.

Stop calling 911, Brown.

Good morning, Cora. You look amazing.

Well, thank you. Thank you so much. And I feel good. You do have a certain glow

about you, lady.

Thank you. I'm feeling good this morning. Cora, I thought I taught you to

woman of Virgo.

You mean virtue, Mr. Lamb? Carver, don't you be trying. You don't try to correct

me. Because I'm up to here with you. I'm just as full of shame as way up here,

Carver. Shame.

I am shame, shame, shame.

Look,

you ain't got to tell your daddy nothing about what you did with Deacon Lenny

last night.

What you did?

What you did, Carla?

What you did with Deacon Lenny? What you did?

What I did?

You ain't got the answer to that.

Deacon Lenny. You can't tell anything like his name, Mr. Brown. Stop being

ridiculous. You tell Carla to stop being ridiculous. Mr. Brown, just calm down.

Me and Deacon Lenny, all we did is we went to dinner.

And y 'all went to dinner. Yes. And what kind of deacon goes on a suspicious

date with somebody anyway? Suspicious. The word is salacious. And I used to try

to make all my dates salacious.

Well, my date with Deacon Lenny wasn't salacious.

We just had a nice time.

Did you have a nice time or a great time?

Well, we had a great time.

Barbara,

you got me so devastated. I'm just devastated in my heart.

Perplexed. Mr.

Bray, you don't have to be devastated.

Deacon Lenny was the perfect gentleman.

Until the sun went down.

That's great, Cora. Do you think you'll go out with him again? Yes, I would love

to go out with him again. We went on a walk this morning.

Oh, it was so nice.

You won't ditch me to go out on a date with some dirty man named Lenny. Dirty

Lenny is what they call him.

Look,

Deacon Lenny was not dirty.

He was clean as you can get.

Cora Jean!

You stop all that dirty lady talk.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Well, Mr.

Brown, look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know I've been busy the past few

Dick and Lenny been wanting to go on these nice walks, and it's been so nice,

Mr. Brown. Oh, so you ditched your daddy thrice?

What the hell?

Mr. Brown, you know the word thrice? Of course. I know the word thrice. It means

three times. Cara ditched me thrice. And I can't take this. I can't take this

pressure no more.

I can't take my daughter being out there in the streets.

I'm going to turn you into a...

Don't worry about it. Look, we

want to hear about this thrice.

All I can tell you is it was nice.

Well, did they at least look sorry?

Nope.

Unsaved. You know, like they were used to being in court.

They are.

They are. They both got rap sheets super long.

What, at 13 and 14?

That's what I said. That's crazy, right?

Yeah. Ridiculous.

Well, I'm glad I got good kids.

Well, you at least have one. I mean, the verdict's still out on Phillip.

You're going to start talking about my son like that. He is trying to find his

way, Sandra.

Yeah, well, he better hurry up and find his way or this size swell is going to

keep kicking his ass.

Hi, there.

Hey.

Sandra, Leah, Jeremy, have you all seen Leroy?

No, but we've been out all morning.

Okay, well, he called me to come over. He seems so upset.

Really? Everything okay?

I think so.

Something just upset him.

Okay, well, let us know if there's anything we can do. I will. Yes.

You two must be so proud.

Oh.

Phillip?

Proud sometimes.

Worried all the time.

Well, this must be one of the proud times.

Okay, why? Did something happen?

You don't know that Phillip is being honored at the awards assembly this

No, we don't know that.

No, Phillip didn't mention it. Well, he made the honor roll, and he's getting

the school district award for best improved.

It's called the Diamond in the Rough Award. It's a pretty big deal.

Oh, wow.

Way to go, Phillip.

I'm so happy for him.

Jimmy, can you believe it?

Yeah, I can believe it. The boy's smart. Yeah?

I mean, why wouldn't he have told us?

You know, I have seen this before.

Sometimes kids get so used to getting into trouble that when they finally do

something to receive praise, they don't think anyone will care.

I mean, we're only hard on him because we care.

We'll make sure he knows that.

There you go, my gumdrop.

Leroy, what happened, Hansel? It was terrible.

Oh, you come and tell me all about it. Oh, I'm here now. Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

Oh, no.

Gumdrop, we have to make a big deal out of it. Praise the Lord.

Okay, you guys don't start till.

Come on, guys. All right, but no, seriously, though, we need to make a big

out of Philip's award. I don't know why he didn't tell us.

Well, guys, he's always in trouble, so I guess he's trying to stay out of the

spotlight. Yeah.

We should make this really special.

Yes.

You have any ideas?

Sounds like they're in a great movie. Yes, I am. Because you know why? Because

I'm highly favored and truly blessed. And you all know the rest. Well, all

right. Sounds like he's rhyming everything.

Anyway, what y 'all doing?

Saying cards?

Boom. I'm just a bunch of heathens.

Isn't it time for you to be headed home?

No. Me and Carter are going to the movies tonight.

We're going to see a new faith -based film called On Solid Rock.

They got all the gospel artists in it. Oh, I heard about that film. I wish

get in. We're going to take off. Yeah.

Hey, everybody.

Hey. Hey, Carmen. There you are.

You ready?

Ready for what, Mr. Brown? We're going to the movies.

Oh, we're going to have to go another time, Mr. Brown. Hey, everybody.

I want you all to meet Deacon Lenny.

Oh, yes.

For anybody trying to date my daughter.

Cora told me you were a bundle of laughs.

It's nice to finally meet you, Mr. Brown.

You ain't going to think it's so funny. Cora, you did not tell me Mr. Brown was

so young. I think you guys were the same age.

Shut up.

Shut up.

No. Oh, okay. Things change.

Hey, you had recess in high school?

Bravo! That's Dick Ron for our very own diamond!

Hey, what's up?

Let's go, let's go.

You ready, Mr. Brown?

Ready for what?

To go out on a taco Tuesday.

Oh, you want to go out to Taco Tuesday with me?

Yes, I want to go out with you, Mr. Brown. Well, Corby, you had done

all the other times, so I didn't think you was going to want to go this time.

Mr. Brown, now why wouldn't I want to go out with you, Mr. Brown?

Because you did. Now, I know I've been busy. I've been busy this past week, I

know. I know you know, because, Corby, you hurt me.

You hurt me deep.

You stabbed me like with a knife. Mr. Brown, I'm sorry. Look at this car.

I'm sorry,

Mr. Brown. I didn't mean to hurt you. But look, I'm grown, too. I want to go

out. Well, Cora, I know you grown, and I know you want to go out. I just didn't

want you to forget about your daddy.

I could never forget about you. You did.

Well, I didn't mean to, Mr. Vernon. But you did.

Okay, I didn't mean to. Not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times. Oh,

come on, Mr. Vernon.

Now, next time what I'll do is I'll communicate my plans better, okay?

Okay. All right.

All right. So, you know, but one thing I can do is I can let you know next time

I'm getting ready to go out so you can call Miss Kimberly and y 'all can spend

some time together. I'm sure she'll appreciate that. Yeah, she'll appreciate

that. You know, she love your deity. Oh, she like us and me. The way she look at

me in my house. She's lucky to have you. You make me tingly, Cora.

Well, I don't want to know all that. No,

I don't.

Cora, you like that old Lenny dude?

It's too like it, Mr. Brown. I'm lying.

I know it's a little early, but we had a nice time together.

Don't y 'all be having too nice of a time.

You ain't too old to be pregnant.

Mr. Brown, don't start all that now. You ain't too old. Now, come on. Let's just

go eat tacos.

Come on now. Why do you look like an old blues singer?

Because you look like it. You look like y 'all to be David Ruffin's brother or

something.
