Double the love, double the fun. Good news is we can completely redo that

staircase within your budget.

That's great.

What's the bad news?

Have you looked at this place?

Oh, you got jokes.

You got everything at Home Depot.

Damn.

This place is a bottomless pit.

Yeah, but it's about to be a pretty pit, baby.

What are you doing?

Planting some patients.

Why? Because I figured you needed something pretty around here so you

a bit of your dream while you're in the midst of a nightmare.

Nightmare? You got that right.

Oh, what's that?

Little Home Depot flower?

Oh, you want me to tell him what?

Oh, okay.

Baby, you need to turn your frown upside down. That's what the flower said. This

one right here.

You're crazy.

Yeah, you don't know the half of it.

Yeah, I do.

Still the best thing that ever happened to me. God, I love it when you say that.

Why are you still looking at me like that?

I don't know.

Just thinking.

Thinking about what?

How much I love you.

about how I can see us married and living in this house.

Excuse me for trying to bring another special life into this world.

Jabari, get your ass up. You ain't special.

Maya, I can't get in the shower with your granny panties hanging all on the

Those aren't mine.

Don't look at me.

None granny but my panties.

Others are my undies.

Well, technically they're Jones, but, you know, I wore them.

Lynn, what are you even doing here?

I didn't want to miss out on all the fun.

making breakfast. I feel like wheat -free, dairy -free, organic banana

Oh, my God.

Oh, thank you.

Jabari, come on, man. Get up.

I'm going to count to three.

Three.

Let's go. You can change in our bedroom while your mama's in there throwing up.

Hey.

Every time I walk in here, it still shocks me.

Try living in it. I do live in it. Hello?

I need some air. I see you at work, Joan. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's

going to make my special order pancakes?

Hey, Lynn, listen.

I will while you make my Nana pancakes.

Hey,

where's Monica?

Hey. Oh, she went to work. Listen.

Oh, good.

This girl makes me sick acting like she owns this place.

Lynn, will you please not rifle it through my refrigerator?

Okay, it is my refrigerator.

No, it's not. Where's my refrigerator?

In the garage. I was next to your old -ass microwave. Okay, you guys, listen.

Aaron proposed.

Oh, my God!

Wait, wait, wait, I think.

I don't know. I mean, I'm not sure. Okay, he said, I love you, and I can see

married and living in this house.

That wasn't a proposal, was it?

Was there a ring involved? Because that's usually a good indication.

No. Oh, God, I went there again, huh?

Yeah. Maya.

What? Yeah.

Okay, softer side of Maya.

Listen, girl, maybe he's just testing the waters. That's how men do.

Yeah, he probably just wanted to see how you'd react.

Yeah, but I didn't react.

Because you guys told me not to go there again the way I did with Brock.

Yeah, that is true. We do say a lot of things.

Well, so did I mess it up by not giving him a sign?

You know what? Just be patient. If a man has marriage on his mind, he'll bring

it up again.

Oh, God. Speaking of coming up again.

Oh. Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Joe!

Joe!

Joe! Oh!

I'm sorry, babe. I was in the standing zone.

I'm sorry. Look, I have a proposal.

The answer is yes.

Maybe you don't even know the question. Yes, I do.

And the answer is... There's nothing I want more.

It's all right, then. Pete, say this.

Did you see the kitchen?

The only kitchen I see is yours.

You might want to hit that with some heat.

Since I got pregnant, I had to cut back on chemicals.

Since when is a brush a chemical?

You know, what kind of fool puts a sign up for sell by owner and inquire within,

and he ain't within?

That'd be a fool who had to go to the grocery store.

Uh, is this your house?

Yeah. So I suggest you stop peeping in my windows.

How much you asking?

$6 .25.

For that bad plumbing and those little closets?

You can see all that from the window.

Once I opened it and crawled in. I'm sorry, I'm pregnant. I need to use the

bathroom.

Now, now.

You think you're slick.

What is it now, Kenny?

Well, word is on the streets is that you've been offered a high -paying

and a new garage off the 110.

Well, the word on the street is a little slow.

This is my last day.

Well, you have not tendered an official resignation through the proper channels.

So what you going to do? Can you fire me?

Oh, I see.

I see.

So along with the new job, you also got some clever returns.

You know what? I also got most of your customers.

See, normally I would weave a little tail and I would save a little face.

Okay? But under these circumstances, Kenny Phelan does not stand a chance.

So, uh...

Let me offer you this prop, brother. That's short for proposition.

So, this place is worth a solid eight.

I'll sell it to you for six -five at the gate.

As long as you promise to finance through Kenny Phelan's finance slash

de emigración.

Hello, Monica?

William, you're better than no one.

The chef wants to introduce these empanadas. I can't decide.

Try one. Tell me what you think.

I take that as a yes on the empanadas.

I certainly hit the spot.

You're gone.

Come on, come on.

Let's not make a big deal out of this.

Okay, we're both grown up, and it's perfectly natural for two separated

to seek each other out when nibbling empanadas.

Exactly.

Uh, doesn't mean a thing.

No. If anything, in a few years, we'll look back on this as a fond farewell.

A last hurrah.

No time like the last time.

Now that we've got that out of our systems, we can move on.

Now we can move on.

Now we can really move on.

Good news, Joan.

Pretty soon you won't have to put your name all over your food. I don't put my

name on my food. You do.

Girl, none of it is on free.

Besides, I can't be spending money all willy -nilly, especially when I'm saving

to buy my dream house, which I found today.

That's fantastic. Does Darnell like it?

Oh, he hasn't seen it yet. But, you know, he'll live anywhere as long as I'm

there.

But here's the best part.

It's three blocks from Aaron's house.

We're going to be neighbors!

Oh, my God. That's so great.

I know.

Well, you might be Aaron's neighbor. I don't know if I'm going to be in the

picture. He still hasn't asked you.

No. And I've given him every opportunity on Earth.

Maybe we need to move on. middle earth i'm sorry i've been watching lord of

rings marathon as you were i mean i'm not getting desperate but i am and aaron

knows it i mean he knows what my account is down to he knows i want to get

married i just i don't know what he's waiting on well he could be saving up to

buy a ring or you could be looking for the ring that was forged in the fires of

mount doom i don't care about the ring

It's the commitment that I'm looking for.

Girl, please, you put that ring on your credit card if he asks you.

That's crazy.

I take out a second mortgage on my house.

Aaron, Home Depot did such an amazing job on these windows. They must have

inspired by my porch.

What? What?

Joan.

Joan.

Oh, baby, I need you.

I'm right here, baby.

My leg cramped up. Can you help me out?

Oh, sure, yeah. Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Just had to stretch it out a little bit.

I'm good.

You better?

Yeah, I'm good.

No, no, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Aaron, I love you.

And I love you.

That's nice, but let me finish, okay?

I love you.

And I feel like when I'm with you, I'm finally the person that I'm meant to be.

And I know this isn't the way I practiced it my whole life, but what the

I'm ready to start living.

And I want to live it with you.

So, Aaron Frederick Douglas Waters, will you marry me?

Joan? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, my God. I'm such an idiot. I

believe I just did that.

Joan. That is exactly where I didn't want to go.

It's okay.

No, it's not.

No, I... No, look.

I am not going to put another man in this position, and I really just need to

take a giant step back. Okay, I'm sorry. I have to go.

Joan!

What, uh, what, uh, Joan?

What are you guys doing?

Um, taking inventory of the pantry.

Yes, and it is a good thing that we did, too. I know, because I was about to

order way too much picante sauce.

You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go and see how those chips are

holding up.

Yeah, and I got to get on that.

Guacamole cup.

Joan, you okay?

Yeah.

No.

I broke up with Aaron.

What happened?

I just couldn't leave it alone.

I don't know why I can't stay in the moment.

I had to force it. Monica, I... I popped the question.

You asked him to marry you?

Yeah.

And that heaping plate of cheese -covered carbs tells me he said no.

He didn't say anything.

Well, maybe that means... No.

No.

I just shouldn't have asked him.

But then again, maybe it's a good thing that I did and that he didn't say yes.

Because if he did say yes, I would have always thought it was because I'd forced

it on him, not because he really chose me.

Oh, Joan, that's crazy.

No one would make a commitment and actually get married if they didn't want

You think William did?

Maybe one day I will grow up enough.

So that I can actually see when I have something good and not let my insecurity

screw it up.

Yeah, maybe.

By the way, Monica, I think the Board of Health would frown on you and William

having sex in the pantry.

What?

Y 'all kind of loud.

Tell us why we're out here in the middle of the night.

Hey, I wanted to talk on the phone.

You two insisted that we meet.

Hey, secret plan calls for secret location.

Secret. We're at the Grove.

But it's closed, hence secret.

Okay, look.

Because of you two, Joan broke up with me.

What? What did we do?

Well, let's see. When I told you I wanted to propose to her at a nice

restaurant, you said, that's lame, you loser.

Joan wants a story to tell her grandkids.

You have to string her along.

And when she gets into a frenzy, then you surprise her with a dream proposal.

Damn, you remember me like an elephant. Hey, that time was genius. How'd you

screw it up? Joan got tired of the game, so she asked me to marry her.

Oh, hell no.

That bitch done got bald in a whole day.

What'd you say?

I didn't say anything.

Look, her asking me is not the dream proposal I wanted to give her. I knew I

shouldn't have gone along with this stupid...

Stupid plan. First, we ruined William's happiness. Now, we ruined Joan's. Is

there no end to the misery?

Lynn, would you just shut up?

Just shut up, okay?

All right.

Give me a minute, okay? I need to think about this. Let me think.

All right, look.

The bad news is, Joan's crazy.

We agree, right? Okay.

The good news is, crazy's usually predictable.

Until today.

We're like some two -headed sheepies that can only bring...

Whoa.

Okay, so Joan freaked out.

That girl's known to freak. It's completely knee -jerk. All right, she'll

home and sleep on it, wake up regretful, puffy -eyed, resolved to spin her

stupidity into gold. In other words, we've got that girl right where we want

her.

I don't think so.

Me either. Hey, y 'all better know, okay?

Man up and stay the course.

Eileen, stop biting your nails.

Okay, are you sure that we can still work this plan?

Would I be sitting here in an empty parking garage in a trench coat with

security bearing down on me if I wasn't?

Oh, and by the way, if anyone asks, tell them I'll clean it up when I'm done.

Clean what up? Oh, my hair.

Baby, the house sounds perfect. Oh, my God, Darnell. It has almost the same

square footage as our house in Lancaster. You know, minus the kitchen

half bath, and half the house.

Look, this is just one little thing.

Kenny wants to sell me my garage back.

What? All right, so I was thinking, you know, if we could just put the house on

hold for a second.

I don't know. Wait, wait, wait. Before you go off.

I'm not going to go off.

Okay?

I'm just, I'm tired.

I'm tired of squatting in somebody else's house.

All right? I don't have the energy nor the stomach to debate this with you.

If you think it's better for our family to buy the garage, then let's buy the

garage. Just get us out of here.

I need to be settled.

I'm ready to call someplace home, even if it is some crappy, can't park

got somebody else's stink on it apartment.

I don't care whose stink is on it, Dad, as long as I got a door.

William. Yeah.

No!

Negro, why didn't you catch me?

I don't care what I was supposed to.

It's a trust exercise.

I thought you'd catch me. Then we have trust again.

You're supposed to let me know the rules of the game. You just can't come in

here flopping on the ground. You all right? No!

Damn it, fool. I love you.

Well, that's an interesting way to express it.

Obviously, I have a lot of anger and mistrust.

That's why I couldn't get past the wedding thing.

I thought if I fell and you caught me, I had to let it all go.

Monica, now you're starting to sound crazy. You're starting to sound like

So you can obviously see I've hit rock bottom.

The only way I'm ever going to trust you is to just give us a chance.

If you still want me.

I'll never stop.

William. Yes.

Oh, no, Monica, do over.

Do over.

Oh, look, they're strong.

And she's with Aaron.

See? I told you that crazy girl would come to her sister.

Thank God.

I was starting to get really scared for a minute. Girl, please, there's nothing

to be afraid of. Life is good.

She's back with her man, and time is proceeding at pace. Now, act naturally,

okay? Okay.

Because you know that I love you.

I know.
