So, next week I'm back at the firm, turning the big ones into the little

the big legal rock pile.

Now, what would you all do if you had one week to make all your dreams come

before going back to reality?

Ugh! I'd get to the damn point because I'm bored.

All right, here's my list.

Hmm, give me that.

Bike to San Francisco.

Ooh, this won't have a pen I need to add by a bike.

Hold on a minute.

You want to be a soul train dancer?

I hope you can't find some rhythm on this list.

Yes, it's number 12.

Okay, wait, wait.

Oh, uh -uh.

Hell no.

Meet Thelma from Good Time.

She's a TV character. She's not a real person.

I know that.

Not like I'm some sort of deranged fan.

So, as we got that straight, I'll hook you up. Because you all know Bernadette

Stan is my cousin.

She knows Thelma?

Hey y 'all, I'm so sorry I'm late.

I had to do all this stuff. Yeah, we know, we know. Drop off jalopy, get to

point.

Anyway, you guys, you know that I've had a rough week, okay? And I just needed a

girl's night out, so I was thinking... I hope you were thinking we all have

date.

See how y 'all do? See this? Now that y 'all have boyfriends... Oh, excuse me, I

have a fiancé.

I'm on a path somewhere, not like these two heifers.

So you guys are just going to leave Maya alone again on another weekend, huh?

Whatever happened to where your friend...

Girl, we're going to be there for you.

Single life is fun.

Single life is fun because we get to go on dates, girl. Bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

No, it's fine. Go, go, go on your dates.

You know, it's all good.

I'll just go to my little cell of an apartment, you know, go to bed early,

myself to sleep.

Maya, we'll just go for one drink at the Blue Bar. Thank you, girl. I'm going to

just hit these armpits real quick.

I'm just saying, I'm classy.

I am. And I know that I have a lot to offer. But, you know, the brother's

of Wilshire. They're not checking for me.

Shoot, and truth be told, I'm not checking for them either. I think, as

told, the brothers around here are extra corny.

Well, truth be told, you better finish that drink so we can go. Okay, I'm

myself, all right? Y 'all know I'm a little bitty thing. Can't guzzle my

like you big bone lunches.

I'm just saying, since we've been here, has anyone tried to step to me? No. In

fact, in all the times we've been coming here, has anyone ever tried to step to

me? No. Hell, I don't even get the obligatory black people nod.

What's up, girl? Nothing.

Maybe you need to hit those armpits again.

I'm sorry. I am sorry, Maya. But, you know, Ellis is waiting.

I don't know. I just feel so disconnected from who I am. From my old

neighborhood. You know, my old friends.

Not friends, but I feel like I'm becoming y 'all.

You feel like that because you spend too much time with us.

Like tonight.

Tony, don't be rude.

Maya's really going through something here.

And she needs to talk this out.

How's Wednesday for everybody?

Fine, y 'all, go.

Go on your dates.

Okay,

Maya, clearly you really need us tonight.

But you know what? It's fine. I'll just cancel my plans with Ellis, and I will

stay with you.

I'll stay, too.

But you can scratch Wednesday.

All right.

Hell, damn, I was lying anyway, so I was not even in town. I just wanted to

watch television.

I can't believe I'm sitting here with Thelma Evans.

Well, that's very sweet.

But for the last time, my name is Bernadette Stannis. You have no idea

moment means to me. I've dreamt of this my whole life.

You know, I'm very flat.

And all this time, you're just one degree of separation from me.

Thelma Evans is Maya's cousin.

No, no.

Bernadette Stannis is Maya's cousin.

So, how's Booker?

His name is Bookman.

Look, look.

name is Johnny Brown.

He's an actor, like me.

The reason why I asked is because I heard they were going to tear down

Green, and I was worried that he might be out of a job.

Hey, speaking of jobs, do you still work at Bologna's Boutique?

For the last time, Good Times was a TV show.

It wasn't real.

Thelma was a character.

I'm Bernadette, I'm a real person, and this is real life, okay? Okay.

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

We won't talk about good times anymore.

We'll just have a good time.

So, do you like sports?

Not really.

Have you seen any good movies lately?

No.

Look,

I am not mad at this mug of rum, but why are we here?

the wall, all right?

The hole's in the wall.

I must have a hole in my head for letting you drag my cute ass down to

Inglewood.

Now, you are beautiful.

Thank you.

I'm Maverick.

Oh, hi, I'm Maya.

Hey. Hey. I guess we M &M.

Oh.

You want to dance? Oh, uh, no, no. You know, I just got my drink and I don't

like to dance.

You don't trip? I could get you another one.

That is okay.

Hey, you know what? I'll finish my drink. I'll dance.

Nah, that's fine.

Okay, Maya, that's the seventh guy you've turned down.

Maya, I thought you came down here to find you a South Central man.

No, I came down here to have a night out with my girl.

Well, we could have done that at the blue bar. But this is my spot, all

And it's just about to start jumping off.

Go get me another mug.

And give me another plate of catfish. And don't forget my white bread.

We've been bamboozled.

What, the same real catfish?

No.

I don't think Maya came down here trying to have a girl's night out or connect

with men from her old neighborhood.

Guys, she came down here trying to hook back up with Darnell.

Okay, girl, you're just taking all kind of leaps.

You grins look good.

Guys, you guys, look, I just remembered.

Maya always used to talk about this place where she and Darnell used to

and eat and get their buzz on for five bucks.

This is their hangout.

I am telling you.

She came down here hoping to bump into Darnell.

So what you're saying is she came down here hoping to bump into Darnell?

No more rump for you.

Look, I'm telling you, if she's not looking for Darnell, she's looking for

somebody because she's been looking over her shoulder every few minutes.

Hell, I've been looking over my shoulder too.

fish -eating wreck.

Maya, did you drag us down here hoping that you'd see Darnell?

What? Come on, Maya. You know that Darnell's in your spot.

Joe, nobody's even thinking about Darnell. And apparently he ain't

about you.

He just walked into your spot with another woman.

Maybe we should go.

Why? Because Darnell rolled up in here with some other girl? Look, you know

what? We're divorced. We're grown folks.

He got his ass back off mine. What exactly do you have, Maya?

She has a rich and satisfying life. That's right. I'm happy.

Yo, yo, yo. Can I get everybody's attention, please?

Round of drinks on me and my road dog, Darnell. We just got a small business

loan.

That's right, y 'all. You heard me.

Two black men doing something with, they say.

And we are finally about to open our auto repair shop.

So I want to see all y 'all there when you hoop these break down.

Seriously, y 'all. Remember that P &D auto repair bought y 'all a drink

All right?

Dang, Maya.

You got a business and a love life?

Is it just me, or does this life sound a whole lot more rich and satisfying than

yours?

Let's just sneak out the back. Hey, I don't want to miss them.

Hold on, hold on.

Mike!

I knew that was you, girl. Oh, hey, what's up, Peanut?

How you doing, bro?

Damn, I guess good dude travels fast. And you came out to celebrate with us.

That's class, girl. That's class.

Yeah, well, you know. You know how I do.

Congratulations, Peanut.

Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I know you're not leaving without saying

to Don M.

Down there!

Hey.

Hey.

Hi, I'm June.

Hi, I'm Lena.

Hi.

Oh, girl, your braids are beautiful.

Where do you go?

Somewhere on Crenshaw.

Damn, look how they bonded, dog.

My ex -wife and my baby mama don't get along at all.

Maya's just cool like that.

So you're Maya?

Yeah.

I just love Jabari.

We all love Jimboree.

We should get going.

Where's Jabari?

Oh, he's out front playing with Armandis from next door. Well, I don't like him

out in the courtyard unsupervised.

Armandis' mother is out there with them.

All right, how about this?

Here's his stuff.

Bye. You know what else?

Why do I have to hear about your business on the street?

What business is that, Maya? Your auto repair business.

What other business you got, huh? What, you and Peanut about to open up a Krispy

Kreme or something?

Is this about my business, or is this about Lena?

Well, ain't nobody even thinking about that hoochie you're dating, okay?

I'm just saying it would have been nice for you to tell me, the mother of your

child, the woman who helped you scrimp and save to get your dream, now that

damn dream came true.

I know we're divorced, but I think you owe me that.

I don't owe you anything.

But since you were the one who was there from the beginning, me and Peanut got a

small business loan for $150 ,000.

I don't give a damn about your damn business.

I want to know who the bitch is that was hanging on your arm and hanging around

my child.

Lena's only met Jabari once, and he has no idea that she's my girlfriend.

Oh, so she is your girlfriend?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's great, because I'm dating, too.

Good for you. Don't get me.

You know, it kills you.

Whatever.

I'd ask you the same thing. Fair enough.

So, you want to knock them dead at Soul Train?

That's why I bought these duds.

One problem at a time. Now, you can't go wrong with a little routine that you

used to bring down the house at the Fresno Dance Academy for girls. Give me

little bit.

And five, six, five, six, seven, eight.

Kickball change, kickball change.

Shimmy, shimmy, coca pop.

Simmy, Simmy, Cocoa Puff. Pow, pow, something.

Give it to me right here, baby.

Yeah, all right, all right. Let me stretch out first.

Don't want to put a hammy on that Cocoa Puff. I know.

Ooh, ooh, all right, let's go. Let's go, let's go.

And five, six, five, six, seven, eight.

Simmy, Simmy, Cocoa Puff.

The pants. I didn't talc up first. I'm chafing like a mother.

That's a good point. All right.

So we're just going to stick with the upper body because I see that that is

better ventilated.

Follow along now. And five, six, five, six, seven, eight. Cabbage patch.

patch. Roll nine.

Bounce it. Jazz hands. Bounce it. Jazz hands. Oh!

It's really, really hot.

So what are you adding to your list now? What is this? Number 35, fine dance

teacher that can dance.

So what are you guys doing tonight?

Nothing with you, I guess.

No, no, you guys, I'm not asking you to change your plans with your boyfriends,

you know.

I'm just trying to make conversation.

Because y 'all and I got plenty to do. Well, I do.

the catfish run down to the hole in the wall.

Darn, I might be there.

For the last time, really? I don't want to see Darnell.

Yeah, but you didn't want to see him last weekend. I didn't.

Maya, we saw how you looked at him, and we saw how he looked at you.

Don't make a huge mistake by trying to save face.

If you want him, go and get him.

I hope you made a note of who your real friend is.

Who's here with you?

Uh -uh, wait a minute. Where's my fish? One, two, three, four, five, six pieces.

I paid for seven. Tony, you already ate one.

Girl, my bad.

Oh, there's Darnell.

Now go on, go get him.

No.

No, I don't want him.

In fact, do you mind wrapping that up to go?

Maya, I'm not emotionally equipped to handle your denial, okay?

And plus, this catfish stinks up my car. Now go on.

You know, for a minute there, I thought I wanted him back.

But I don't.

I'm not in that place anymore.

It's just that I've been so miserable where I am.

I wanted everyone around me to be miserable.

Especially him.

I need to move on, too.

Oh, uh -uh. One, two, three, four.

Oh.

Never mind. Two of them are stuck together.

He looks different to me.

I mean, he doesn't even look like the same right now.

Of course he doesn't. This one's an entrepreneur. That other loser was a

handler.

Excuse me.

That's right, girl.

and get your chain of auto shops.

Hey.

Hey, Maya.

So what bone do you want to pick tonight?

No. No, I don't want to fight tonight.

I just realized that I didn't wish you good luck.

You know, I'm really happy for you.

I'm proud of you, Darnell. I know how much this means to you.

Thanks.

No, that means a lot.

Looks like they're

playing our song.

You want to dance?

Thank you.

Your girlfriend's here.

Who?

Good night.

Good night.

Number 23.

What's number 23?
