[upbeat music]

Whoo, I just love the slogan
y'all came up with.

"Glo, working for
a brighter future."

That! Thank your brother.

-I taught him well.
-[chuckles]

You know, I think
the neighbors are going

to really appreciate you going
the Michelle Obama route.

The Michelle Obama route?

Yeah, you know, Jazz,
they go low, we go high.

Now, I can't say it was easy.

I really wanted to go
after her ass.

But I'm trusting Malik here.

That's a good thing.

Yeah, you know,
I think people are smart,

and the truth
will tell itself.

She picked
the wrong family to peg

with the bad neighbor tag.

Exactly.

I mean, Dad,
Uncle Curtis, Auntie Ella,

they've been
in this neighborhood forever.

And look at God.

She single-handedly
put you with us,

when that really just
made you look better.

And then after all of this,
Dad became a local hero

for how he handled
that mass shooting.

Yep.

And CJ and your uncle were both
honored as city heroes.

Yep.

All of this backfired
on her ass.

-And I love it.
-Me too.

I see this house is officially
campaign headquarters.

Yes, yes, yes.

Thank you for the use
of your home, Chief Payne.

Or should I say,
award-winning Chief Payne.

[chuckles] CJ will suffice,
but thanks.

So let me know
when you want me

to run this stuff
to the post office.

Okay, it'll probably be
another hour or so.

Yeah, this neighborhood
is gonna be flyered out.

Yeah, but Glo's flyers
are pretty positive.

Ah, that's a relief.

Yeah, when they go low,
we go high.

-Oh, I like that, Jazz.
-[Jazmine] Thank you.

Yeah.

Yeah, you can steal it if
you want, Mommy, I don't mind.

Wow.

I'm gonna go high.

[sighs deeply]

CJ.

Uncle Curtis.

What's happening?

Your man Braxton,
what happened with Braxton?

What about him?

We paid him all that money
to represent me and Floyd.

Eh?

I mean, he redlined
the contract for you.

CJ, we need him to close
the deal.

-You haven't spoken to him?
-Yeah.

We talked to him.

We told him to make whatever
changes need to be changed.

Well, Unc,

there are a lot of changes
that needed to happen.

Well, Braxton is the attorney.

He needs to get the attorney in.

Okay? I mean, we paid him
all that money, man.

Fifteen hundred dollars.

Well,
that's what he's doing, Unc?

Q-Anthony keeps calling me

wondering why we're not
signing, man.

I bet he is calling.

What's that supposed to mean?

I guess you really didn't listen
to Attorney Braxton.

Well, he's kind of hard
to talk to.

Well, let me
make it plain for you.

Please.

[sighs]

He doesn't think
you should sign with Q-Anthony.

He thinks it's a bad deal.

How bad, CJ?

He says it's the worst deal
he's ever seen in his life.

[birds twittering]

[airplane flying
overhead]

[car alarm blaring,
horn honking]

[sirens wailing]

[helicopter blades
whirring]

[funky music]

After all that Attorney Braxton
has said about this cat,

you still consider him doing
business with this guy?

What Floyd said.

Okay, did you two see
the business plan?

No, you didn't.

Have you done your research?

He's successful, Ella.

He don't have to fool with us.

The only reason
he's fooling with us,

Ella, Floyd, is because he sees
the business has potential.

Curtis, he don't care nothing
about you or Floyd.

All he cares about
is the money.

He stood right here,
he told you that himself.

Well, baby,
we got that in common.

Because all I want to do
is make money.

This brother is crooked, Curtis.

Who the hell ain't crooked,
Floyd?

Hell, all them folks who got
millions of dollars are crooked.

Well, Curtis,
the Bible is clear.

Look, Ella, please,
don't start the Bible gibberish.

Okay. Mark 8:36.

You know it.

"For what shall it profit a man

to gain the whole world
and lose his soul?"

And lose his best friend.

That might be a blessing.

You know what?

You can be real hurtful
sometimes, bro.

Okay, look.

I'm not saying Q-Anthony
is a saint.

But look here, I don't need him
to be my spiritual leader, okay?

I just need him to help us take
this business to the next level.

We partner with him,
we make it big,

and we can move along
our merry way.

Wait, Curtis,
once you make it big,

moving along your merry way
may not be an option.

That part.

Hence the contract
the size of a book.

[sighs] You two
are stressing me out.

Well, you know
what's stressing me out.

What, the deacon down at the
church that's been acting up?

-Foolishness with Laura.
-Ella, please.

Curtis is all my conscience,
baby, okay?

Let it go, baby.

You ain't got nothing
to do with that.

Wait, wait,
what's going on with Laura?

-Her and Calvin broke up.
-What?

No, I mean, I thought
they were such a cute couple.

No, they weren't.

Well, they broke up, Floyd,

because of an argument
she had with this family.

Ella, we did not break them up.

Curtis, okay,
but I still should call her.

And say what?

I don't know,
I don't know.

But I'm a Christian,
a Christian woman, Curtis,

and we're supposed to operate

in the spirit of love
and forgiveness.

Ella, you can
forgive her from afar.

-I just feel so...
-Do not call her.

I do, I feel so terrible.

But, well, then go down
to the church to pray.

Just sing one of your songs,
do all that.

Do not call her, Ella.

Okay, the girl is lulu.

She'll twist the whole
conversation around

and just make it
all worse.

Okay.

Okay, Curtis,
I won't call her.

Thank you.

[mellow music]

Okay boys,
what's the verdict?

Does your dad make
a good burger?

"Good",
may be pushing it.

It was a little dry, Dad.

I felt like I had to drink
a gallon of water after that.

But hey,
we do appreciate the effort.

Look, you guys are
a rough crowd.

[knocking on door]

Oh, that must be your mother.

Christian, get the door for me.

-Hey, Mom.
-Hey, baby.

Hmm! So, how was lunch?

Dad made burgers.

How were they?

-I'll tell you in the car.
-[chuckles] Okay.

He said they were dry.

Yeah, that's because
you take the spatula

and you mush them down
like this.

I thought that's what
you're supposed to do.

If you want a dry burger.

Oh, y'all never heard
of no smash burger.

Noted. Boys,
go grab your bags.

[sighs]

So, Mr. Payne...
how are you doing?

-I'm fine.
-Fine?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Okay, well, let me know

if there's anything
that I can do to help.

Oh, well,
you're already doing it.

I am?

Yeah, you're taking these boys
off my hands for the day.

Gives me some time to think.

Well, I need you to do a little
bit more than just thinking.

-Okay?
-Yeah, well, what should I do?

Well, I mean,
I don't know.

Women, you know,
we go to the spa or, you know,

get together and have brunch
with each other.

You know, you guys
are a little weird.

Brunch and a spa day,
that's not me.

Okay, well, listen.

What exactly is it
that you enjoy?

-Do that.
-Okay.

Brown liquor,
football games, and a nap.

You are right.

You are right.

That is what you enjoy,
I forgot.

It is.

Well, do that, but I also need
you to get out the house.

-We'll see.
-[Miranda] Okay.

Hey, guys,
are you ready to go?

What are we going to do,
Mama Miranda?

We are going
to the museum.

-Yay!
-Museum?

Yeah,
you don't like the museum?

Nope, no way.

Okay, wait, have you ever
been to the museum?

Nope.

Well, then how do you know,
Junior?

-They're fun, big bro.
-Yeah, for nerds.

-Uh, excuse you?
-Junior, open your mind.

Why are you people
so obsessed about me

learning new stuff
all the time?

Okay, wait.

First of all,
who are these "you people"

that you're referring to?

And second,
you can learn something

and have fun
at the same time.

That part. I'm going
to just pray for the boy.

Don't worry,
he is fine.

-Bye, Dad.
-[Calvin] Have fun, kids.

[tense music]

Yes!

Woo-hoo-hoo!

That girl is bad!

She slammed!
That is amazing.

-Bruh, you didn't see that?
-Yeah.

-Bruh, you not into this game?
-No, I'm not.

Come on, brother.
This is the playoffs.

Come on, man.
You love the playoffs.

Mmm!

I love the playoffs
when I don't feel like

I've turned my back
on millions of dollars, Floyd.

-Bruh, it was a bad deal.
-Says who?

Well, says me.

Your wife, C.J.,
and even the doggone attorney.

-What do y'all know?
-What do we know?

So if you can't trust
your best friend,

the love of your life,
your wife, and your nephew,

can you at least
trust the attorney?

Y'all can't even see

the wilderness for
the tree branches,

the tree limbs and stuff.

You got that so wrong.

You said you can't see
the tree for the forest.

Come on, man.

Whatever the saying.

You know what the hell
I mean.

Brother,
if you didn't want to sign,

then you shouldn't
have just called them

and tell them
that it was no deal.

I was tired of you
and Ella yapping, so I gave in.

Uh-uh,
don't put that on me and her,

because here it is.

You are trying to walk away
from this deal,

but don't turn around
and be mad at us, all right?

-Yes, I can be mad at you.
-No, don't be mad at me.

-Y'all pressured me.
-Pressured you?

-Ain't nobody pressured you.
-Yes, you did, Floyd.

-No, we did not.
-Yes, you did.

[knocking on door]
No, we did not.

You sure remember what you
want to remember, don't you?

-We did not.
-You did, too.

Did not.

-Q-Anthony!
-[laughing]

-Curtis, my man.
-My man.

-How you doing?
-I'm good.

-Come on in.
-All right, all right.

-Floyd.
-Oh, wow!

They got Lily Williams
doing the halftime.

-What's up, brother?
-How you doing?

-Good?
-Good.

Oh.

So, gentlemen, I couldn't
believe that my attorney called

and said you didn't want
to do business.

-Well, Q-Anthony...
-Look, Curtis, listen.

I'm prepared to make you
an offer that you can't refuse.

Oh, really?

I'd like to buy your company,

and I'm willing
to pay good money, huh?

-Q-Anthony, you have a seat.
-All right.

-Have a seat.
-Uh-huh, yeah.

Well, uh, Q, we've been
talking to our attorney,

and our attorney has advised us
that we should not--

Floyd, you shut up, please.

-Excuse me.
-Thank you so much.

Look here.

Didn't Ella just tell you
that what a man's profit

tells him at church
will make sure

that his soul is complete?

What verse is it?

You don't even know
the Bible verse.

Shut up.

-Do the money need?
-Bible verse?

Yeah, yeah.

-Don't pay him no mind.
-[chuckles]

Floyd must keep you laughing
all the time.

-Curtis.
-I laugh to keep from crying.

Yeah, that makes two of us.

How long have you
two been friends?

-Well, y'all are hilarious.
-Too long.

-[chuckles]
-Okay.

We was talking about an offer
that we couldn't refuse.

Oh, yes, absolutely.

So, I want to do business
with you guys, huh?

Like I said, best tasting
barbecue I've ever had.

I think you're
on to something.

You've said that.

Man your manners, Floyd.

I lost my manners when we had
that crazy contract.

Crazy?

Well, that was a standard
partnership deal.

That's not what
my attorney said.

[sighs]

So, what's your offer,
Q-Anthony?

Oh, so, I'm aware
that you've invested

a lot of time and money
and energy into this thing.

Yes, sir.

Now, I'm willing
to make you whole

and let you walk away with
a few hundred thousand dollars.

Okay, let me get this right.

So, you're saying you're going
to pay back everything we spent

and we still get to walk away

with a few hundred thousand
to spare?

I am.

When you said
you'd make us an offer

that we couldn't refuse,

I didn't know it would really be
an offer that we can't refuse.

I refuse.

If you don't stop
talking crazy...

No, look.

I'm on half of
this partnership, right?

So then, we can't go further
unless I agree.

-Look, Floyd...
-Hey, hey, hey.

Curtis, Floyd is right.

-Thank you.
-Yeah, thank you.

You two should talk.

After all, he's
your business partner.

Listen, just take your time.

When you are ready,
here's my offer.

-Okay.
-[Q-Anthony] Look it over.

-All right?
-All right.

All right, so, call me

when you guys made a decision,
all right?

All right. You got it, Q.

Hey, thank you
for coming by, man.

-No, thank you for having me.
-All right, all right.

All right. Floyd.

[laid-back music]

-Laura.
-Hello.

-Mama Laura!
-Hey, baby.

Hi. How you doing?

So, when are we going
to go out for my birthday?

Yes, about that.

We're going to figure it out,
okay?

-I promise you.
-All right.

Hey, Junior.

Look at you.
I like your swag.

You already know it.

Boys, meet my mama,
Mrs. Elaine.

-Hi, Mrs. Elaine.
-Hello, Mrs. Elaine.

Oh, hello.

It is a pleasure
meeting both of you.

Okay, I think we should
probably get going.

Bye.

-Bye, guys.
-Bye.

-Bye-bye.
-Bye.

Laura. Miss Elaine.

Calvin.

-So, what's up?
-Nothing's up.

Calvin, I just came
to get my things.

Have at it.

Thank you.

I'll be right back.

Thank you.

Hey, babe.
Floyd left?

Oh, yeah, baby. Thank God.

-He left after the game.
-Oh.

-That was some game, huh?
-Hey, CJ.

-Yeah, we got it.
-Hey.

Oh, from the look on your face,

Curtis, your team
must have lost.

No, our team won.

Well, Curtis,
what's wrong, baby?

[sighs deeply]

Q-Anthony came by and offered
to buy the business

since we didn't take him up
on the partnership.

-Really? Did he?
-[Curtis] Yeah.

How much we talking?

-$600K.
-Uh.

Enough to pay back everything
we spent on the investment

and still walk away with
hundreds of thousands to spare.

Wow, well, what are you
going to do, baby?

Wow, well, what are you
going to do, baby?

What do you think
I should do, Ella?

Curtis,
this one's up to you, babe.

What do you want to do?

I want to take the money.

Wow. Well...

What does he get?

Braxton said
he gets everything.

Everything like what?

Like everything.

The truck,
the equipment, the recipe,

the soft, the license, the name.

-[CJ] The name, too?
-[clears throat]

He gets the name?

Do you still get to open
a barbecue business if you want?

Nothing for five years.

But after that,
if I want to start something,

I just can't use
the recipe or the name.

Well, I don't know
about this, Curtis.

[sighs deeply]

Well, baby, it's $600,000.

Come on, we're trying
to build a nest egg.

-I know.
-I ain't getting no younger.

And you definitely
aren't getting no younger.

Curtis...
be careful now.

-Be careful.
-I'm sorry, baby.

Well, it looks like you got
quite a decision to make.

Okay, Curtis,
what does Floyd think about it?

Just, you know, Floyd--
Floyd's like you.

You're all emotional,
you don't want to do it.

Curtis,
I am not emotional, okay?

I'm not emotional.

I just think you need to take
your time and think about it.

I say you shouldn't do it.

-I hear you.
-Okay.

Uh, Ella, while you giving out
all this advice...

-Hmm.
-Did you call Laura?

No, I did not.

No. I listened to
my husband's wise advice,

and I did not call her.

CJ?

What do you think
I should do, Nephew?

I agree with Aunt Ella
and Floyd.

CJ, $600,000, man.

Well, first...

I think your business
is or will be worth

a lot more than that.

Okay. Second?

Second is, the business
has brought you so much joy.

You know,
since you opened the business,

I could see the happiness
in your eyes.

Why would you
even consider selling

something that brought you
so much joy?

[mellow music]

Mama, is that everything?

-This is the last of it, baby.
-Okay.

I'm just putting these books
in this last box.

Goodbye, Calvin.

I wish you well.

Thank you,
I wish you the same.

So this is it?

[sighs deeply]

This is it, Calvin.

Bye.
