Hey, Martin, my man. Cliff, how you doing? Doing good.

Good to see you.

Got your files for you.

Created a pivot table as well so you can get to those call centers a little

easier. Wow, man, Martin. Man, this saved me a ton of work.

Man, I owe you big time for this. I've got a workout day later on, so I'll see

you tomorrow.

Sure thing.

Enjoy your night. You too.

Hello, this is Martin.

Hey, Brother Martin, this is Pastor Jones.

Just wondering if you would be able to help us out.

The church van broke down. If you could pick up the Sunday school supplies,

that'd be great.

I got a couple prior engagements, but I can make something happen. Just send me

the address.

I'm sending it right now.

Okay. All right, man. All right.

Appreciate you for the money.

I appreciate you. Blessed are those who look out for other people

and share what they have, and it's important that you share with your

and you always do. I appreciate that, Brother Martin. Oh, yeah, you know that.

My pleasure.

Martin, this is a good game.

No, no. We got to let Martin go.

He's not working today at the church. He has prior engagements. Let him get an

opportunity to serve the rest of the community.

All right. Yeah, I got to get up out of here. Chess, you get some grapes up

there? Yeah, I got all these.

Yeah, I got three HDBs. All right. We're going to be back Friday. Check on

everybody.

For sure, Coach. That'll be where we need to be at.

For sure. Let me say that one more time. Y 'all go long.

Friday. Y 'all catch this. Y 'all got a pizza party. I'm open.

I got y 'all. Y 'all done broke my pockets already. Y 'all high.

Relate, as usual.

I know the community center had issues.

On your day off, Martin? Yes.

Listen, I love the kids, but you don't have to kill yourself on your day off.

I know.

They have the other people there like you.

You know, then they wouldn't need me. Then I'd be able to see you more often.

I'm so down. You're always leaving me.

Don't get so pretty, though.

She's like, oh, my God.

Good, y 'all.

Glad y 'all could make it.

Your hair is so cool.

Well, thank you.

Bend it, my.

I'm glad someone noticed.

Oh, yeah, it's fine.

We can't notice everything, Lisa.

Thank you.

Tell me honestly like that one time.

Just two weeks ago. Maybe three. I don't know. You did something with your hair.

I can't remember.

What did you do? Girl, I went from black to jet black.

It wasn't that easy.

Yeah, anyway.

But listen, listen, listen.

Before y 'all sat down, we were over here watching Lisa's newscast.

Now understand this I don't care how much money you have But you will not

upon these little girls with your little smug attitudes and think you're gonna

walk out of here with no consequences

Y 'all better stop playing and go ahead and have these super babies already. I'm

with her on that one. Some little bommas and some Oprah Winfrey type babies. You

know what I'm saying?

What is wrong with you?

Where is she at?

No,

forget all that. Bro, I get enough pressure from her at the crib about

mirrors and kids. I don't need you bringing that up right now, dog. I don't

it.

Just go ahead and do it.

She's a good woman.

Go get married. Go have some kids.

Now, girl, you need to stop playing and go ahead and poke a hole in his condom.

You know that's how I got three kids, right?

No, see, girl, listen. If we're going to be together, it's going to have to be

done the right way, okay?

You know what? Let's face it.

Let her poke a hole in your condom. That way it ain't on you.

I guess.

You know what I mean? No, I don't know what you mean, boy.

Everything all good? I'm good, baby.

Well, y 'all should have been here earlier.

Brandon gave me the sweetest card.

Oh, I love cards.

What did it say?

Yeah, I guess it wasn't that special, huh? It was special, first off. It said

something. It's a thought that counts. Yes,

it is a thought that counts. Thank you.

Yeah, it's a thought that counts, babe.

That is so cute.

I don't know what's wrong with your friend, babe.

He really hates PDA nothing wrong with it

Good talk. We parked over here.

No pressure or anything.

Yeah, good night. We up. Bye, guys. Good night, Martin. Good night.

We always have a good time with him, don't we?

You know, I have about a year left before my fertility window shuts down.

Man, is that deadline even really real? Yes, Martin, I told you. I've got a

genetic disorder.

That I can't have a pregnancy beyond 35.

That my mother died delivering me at 39, remember?

Yeah, but I thought I had a one or two year leeway.

No, no, no, no, no.

You're on the clock, buddy.

Hey.

I got some organic foods for you, everything you should be eating.

Boy, I told you, you gonna bring something over here. It need to be a

Oh, there you go.

What? I told you I need a baby in both hands when I'm on the go.

What you looking at me for?

I'm too young.

I bet you Lisa's pregnant.

Mm -hmm. That's why she ain't been over here. Yep. But that's good.

She waiting on that first trimester. That's about right.

That's about right.

I'm thinking up.

But that's not going to jinx my grandbaby. I knew she was pregnant by

she sounded on the phone last time I talked to her.

I can't wait to tell everybody.

Is it a boy or a mom? Start calling.

Trina, who's side are you on?

And would you please put the phone down? You're doing too much.

Yeah.

You over there shooting blanks.

Oh, Lord Jesus, my son got an empty gun. We haven't even started yet.

Well, what the hell you waiting on?

She pushing 35, and you ain't no spring chicken. I mean, you do look good for

your age, but you get that from your mama.

Sooner than later, okay?

That's what I like to hear.

Now, you do know there are certain positions.

Oh, boy.

She'll have to get on that.

Literally. Ma.

Matthew. And it ain't happening today either.

Well, I'm going to send him an email on the next step to get pregnant. No.

No. No. I thought you was on my side. I mean, yeah, but I love to torture my

brother, but this is too much.

Well, he about that fit life.

I'm about that baby life.

Boy here.

Oh I have to go to the bathroom.

Oh lady take each other to the bathroom Someone might get me

nobody

Oh, babe, hold on. What, you trying to get anything right now?

No.

Wait, what? Let's do it in the library chair.

Hey!

Happy birthday, buddy!

How you doing?

Give her a drink.

Here, girl.

Man, it's your birthday, bro. Yeah.

Of course it's a week early. My smart big brother would have figured it out by

then. Yeah.

But dang, Martin, you attacked her the moment y 'all got in here.

All right, all right. Too much information, bro.

Anyway, everybody, put your glasses up.

Go ahead. I want to give a toast to my main man, Martin.

You know you're the most humble dude in this room right now.

You was willing to help me move out of state when I was, uh, when you had the

opportunity to take on the pleasantries of a beautiful young lady. So for that,

I want to say thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, man. How about you have

kid so you can pass some virtues on?

Right? Huh?

Huh?

Yeah, all right, man. Well, anyway, to you, bro. Happy birthday and cheers.

Happy birthday, Martin.

And we have a little video for you. It's just something of the people who

couldn't be here tonight.

Happy birthday, Martin. You need to come back to the hood so I can put you up on

game.

I got money. I got females.

Everything's on deck ready for you.

Happy birthday to my favorite cousin, Martin.

Dog, I love you to life, man. I still remember that time we had to split a

dog. You know, we came a long way from that, baby. It's all life from here. All

up. Happy birthday, Mo Life.

I love you, boy. When I get back in town, it's all on me.

Happy birthday to my old college teammate.

I know you always represent me in your Fit Like t -shirt, but today you not.

So I am. Check it. That program has got me these fire abs.

These deltoids, the trap. Let me just take my shirt off.

Oh, my God. Don't nobody want to see that puny little body boy. Oh, you like

Barely.

Anyway, happy birthday, Martin.

Martin, when you going to marry Lisa?

What are you shaking your head for?

Oh, no, no, no, no. It's that female over there checking me out. She's trying

get someone else. I'm like, no, you can't have none of this. I'm a happily

married man.

You better know it. Baby.

You better know it.

Anyway.

Martin, today's your day. Happy birthday.

All that, all that, all that. But tomorrow, I'm letting you know, you

notice. You are on notice.

Oh, boy.

Hey, this is just a video I'm sending out to my future son -in -law.

Wishing you a happy birthday.

You know, first, I didn't like you that much, man.

But now I feel like, hey.

You make a great husband to my little girl.

Happy birthday.

Have a great day, man.

You don't look 32.

Not quite. I got about another week anyway.

You know what I mean.

You look about 25.

So what is it? Are you using an age -defying cream?

No, I get it from my mom, so.

Must be nice.

Martin.

Lisa. Uh, this is Marina.

Hey, Marina.

Lisa. Lisa Sims, badass assistant DA? I guess so.

Nah, sis.

You that bitch.

In a good way.

I'm gonna go.

I'm not feeling well.

Did you want me to come with you? No, no. It's your birthday. You should stay.

You sure?

I'm sure.

I'll be okay.

Yeah, you'll be fine.

Nobody's going to mess with you.

Will they, Martin?

You all have a good night.

I'll be back.

Okay.

I'll be here.

Slow down. Slow down.

Would you slow down? Let me walk you to your car or something. Martin, I'm okay.

Just go back to your party. I don't want to ruin your birthday. Okay, you're

talking about you're okay, but you're running out of here talking about you're

sick and crying and all that. What is going on?

said Angela.

Or the way you just looked at her. What's her name?

That's the person who's bad with names.

Wow. There you go. Okay.

So this is what we're taking?

No. As someone who knows you and loves you, she's the one for you.

No.

I can't even say that.

For real.

I'm letting you off the hook, Martin.

You're free to go.

This is crazy.

You deserve to be with someone who makes you happy.

Man, this is crazy. Did somebody put something in your drink or something?

It's not good when you leave.

Leave.

Yeah. Of course, Martin is a good guy.

But if you feel confident in your decisions and you've thought about it

then I support you 100%. Thank you. And, I mean, I already kind of knew that. I

just wanted to just talk to someone just to make sure.

Absolutely. You know my door is always open. But you hear Brother Vic calling

me, Sister Debbie needs me, and you know I've got to go running.

I understand.

You've been a big help.

My door is always open.

If you don't need me right now, I'll be there for you.

Absolutely, Pastor.

You won't be having one of those anytime soon.

You never know.

You let Lisa walk right out the door, and now you gotta start over with

new. Yeah, but Lisa decided for the both of us.

Man. your indecision, and you believing that there's something out there better

for you is what caused your breakup.

What are you talking about?

Oh, you think the grass is greener until you venture out and realize that what

you had was best for you.

You're still a little kid, all right? Just talk to me after you had your first

prom.

Tell my mom I'll talk to her later, all right? I'll see you later.

All right.

About to go to my third prime. What's he talking about?

What,

what, what, what, what? Too much PDA with my lady?

No, do y 'all.

Wasn't it you, Martin, that said that you hated public display of affection?

Look, everybody got their breaking point.

She done broke me down.

Really? Is that right?

At some point, y 'all might want to pay attention to the other people in the

tape. Because we're right here.

We're right here.

How long have we been here?

About an hour.

Sure, you know it's real love when you get about everybody around you.

You know, we already got a little couple names. What is it?

Brangelina? Brenifer?

Sure, you can just call us.

M &M.

See, look, it's a metaphor, right?

Like, imagine that you can see every opportunity that you ever wanted in one

moment.

You gonna grasp it or just let it slip away?

Yeah.

His palms are sweaty. Knees weak. Arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater

already. Mom's spaghetti.

Wow. Okay. So y 'all both have bars.

Mm -hmm.

Y 'all should hear his breakdown.

Nope. That's all right. Y 'all can save that for the cypher. I'm with that.

Yeah, I'm so good on that. Wow.

Look, we even have matching chains. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You see?

A little song.

Somebody's breath is really killing my vibe right now.

Look. That was a nice.

I know, right? People should really not bring their bad kids out. Like, leave

them at home.

Well,

Marina, do you like kids?

They're okay for a minute. I mean, I wouldn't want to be around them for an

extended period of time.

Really? Okay. And Martin, did you know that? Because I thought you loved kids.

Yeah, Martin.

Yeah, we talked about it. We talked about it. Remember, we're going to have

little baby M &Ms around the road. You know, like little one -size candy.

I thought we were freestyling.

You know a big head kid will mess up this box.

No, I never say that.

Look, not all kids are bad. I mean, as long as you can leave them with the

parents. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to them.

Okay, Marina.

You know what? That was excellent.

That was so good.

Sorry, sorry.

You know what, Martin? Want to run with me right quick?

No, I don't want my ice cream to melt.

What are you talking about? You like your ice cream soup?

Remember?

Babe, you okay?

That this fool done kicked me, man.

Brandon. I know, my bad. It was a mistake. But, uh, come on. Walk it up.

on.

I know, right?

What are you doing with her?

Boy, she is the coldest woman I ever dated. She is awful.

You need to hit that and keep it moving.

Oh, she might be the one. The one what? The one.

Oh, you lost your mind.

She don't even want to have your kids.

She going to change her mind.

She's never going to change her mind, man.

All right, look, do me a favor, all right?

Where, Con?

Just every time.

Okay.

Every time.

Where? You know who you're talking to.

You got to relax.

Oh. I got this. I got it a lot.

So this is my girl, Lisa.

She's my literal shero.

I love this girl. The time for men taking advantage of women in Wayne

over.

I plan to fight for every man, woman, and child.

She's always doing something.

You really watching the video on my eggs?

Oh, yeah.

Y 'all was taking way too long.

That's why my girl is trending.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you remember your girl, Lisa?

Okay, how's your ice cream?

It's great.

Let me see.

I cannot believe you told Martin to go ahead and go with that awful woman. I

cannot see her.

I saw the way he looked at her. You know, it was just, I'm depressed.

Like, no one else in the world existed.

You know, you would have told me to go, you would have told me to go a date or

two.

I don't know about that. I don't think so.

You know, I waited for that.

I am enough look from him for over, what, four years?

Yeah.

I hope they make it.

Make it? Girl, bye. I hope they both crash and burn.

Both of them.

But look, so did you make a decision?

I did.

Okay, so what we doing?

Okay, so I'm going to need you, my best friend, to come with me

to the fertility clinic.

Yes, girl.

You know I'm there. Oh, I'm so happy for you.

Thank you, thank you.

Looks like my deadline is fast approaching, and baby, just to be honest

you, I've swiped left so many times to cancel my subscription.

Girl, I understand that, because, you know, it's hard out here nowadays.

Fact.

Sheesh.

Now, look, I gotta go pick up my girl.

So glad that we had this.

Oh, thanks for coming by, Connie.

Of course.

This is an old house, probably one of the first neighborhoods to be built in

Detroit.

Some would say this house is magical.

It's a historic neighborhood. I think Barry Gordy had a house on the street.

See, I like the suburban lifestyle. The mystic and nostalgia of living in

Detroit is just lost to me.

The crime in the ghettos, yeah, no thank you.

Well, Detroit has had some struggles, but it's always been good to me.

So you choose to live here on purpose?

What?

Um, I think what she mean is people just choose to live where they're

comfortable.

Yeah,

my mother had the same carpet and drapes, but nicer.

Martin, come take a look at my refrigerator.

What, is that enough already? You just got it. I'm not going to call the

manufacturer.

Yes Now you know

I ain't never called up non -mechanical ass over here to fix nothing You're

right what would you call me over here for then?

Yo daddy probably turned over in his grave you bringing that heffa in my

Oh really?

She just figured her mind that's my baby

For how long?

She might pop out your grandkids. Wait, wait, hold on now. Wait a minute, wait a

minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Y 'all got to date a little while. You know, take your time.

You wait a couple years, then you date some more, then you wait a couple years,

then you get engaged, then you wait a couple more years, and if you still want

to get married, wait a couple more years, and then dump her.

You think you'll be too old to enjoy your perfect? Use protection.

Do you need some condoms?

Now you know.

When I was with Lisa, you went in my room and took them out of my sash.

Don't you go on about me, boy.

You go on about your day.

Nah, if it was some kind of mission, that was the heavens trying to bless

Oh, Lord.

You're hilarious.

Listen, give me time.

I'm ready to go grow on you. And, uh, you'll be all right.

I'm about to fly, though.

Like a deadly fungus.

Okay, page 53 and 83.

I think I like 83.

Yeah, you're right. He's got the education, the athletic ability, the

height.

I mean, between the two of you, y 'all can make a cute little baby boy.

Or girl.

At least, hopefully she'll have some of your love more than his. But he's good.

I like him.

Lisa, Sam.

Okay. All right, go get it, girl.

Got it. You should be mama.

My boy, you got to relax. You cannot be out here doing all this fighting.

You chose me. What did you want me to do?

I get it. I'm from the street.

I for sure had to whoop me a few back in my day. But it takes a grown man to

know who's your woman. Go away.

Then they're going to try to test me afterwards.

I get that.

There's some thugs out there without a lick of sense in their head. But, again,

you got to be the grown man to know to walk away.

Yeah, that's going to be hard for me.

Okay.

Is it harder for you to get a scholarship being suspended or walking

Being suspended.

What about a game winning bucket? Is it harder to get that being suspended or

walking away?

Of course, being suspended.

By God.

So, I'm going to need you to take control of your life.

Point blank period.

You're going to have to rise above the nonsense so you can see another sunrise.

Sunrise, see another sunrise.

Exactly.

Hey,

somebody help!

He's waking up.

What happened?

What happened?

We don't know, man.

I think you had a seizure, but they're in the back running some tests now.

Okay.

Oh, are you okay?

I just want to make sure you're okay.

I'm so sorry how things ended between us, man.

Man, you scared us.

Yeah. What, off that season, man? You know that ain't gonna take you. I'm too

tough for that, man.

Really? Yes, man. All right, big dog.

Well, we, uh, about to go get something to eat, all right?

I wish we could have been a couple.

Time for that right now. I mean, people just, they end up with who they're

supposed to, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Looks like I was right about that girl at your birthday party being the one for

you And it appears that your mother really loves your new

girlfriend

Of course. You are the great Lisa Sam.

I don't know about that.

Keep the humility, huh?

Well, um, it looks like you're in good hands, so I'm just gonna go.

All right. Well, um, thank you for stopping by.

So, all of this happened right when you were about to get a promotion?

Mmm, the promotion.

About that, I'm not even going to take it.

What? No.

See, this is why I hate hospitals, because it messes with your mind.

I can't take it. I'll see you when you get out.

What's up?

Excuse me?

I am Dr.

T. This is Dr. Ross.

How you doing, Mr. Bell?

I'm cool.

Be better when you tell me what happened to me.

Um, I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Do you want me to wait for your mom, or do you want to know now?

No, we couldn't even tell. Hey, um, this is my future fiance here.

What is it?

You have a rare form of brain cancer.

What?

Wait, uh... You think brain cancer?

Something that he knows for sure, right?

I'm afraid not, sir.

Your prognosis is grave.

And how grave are we talking?

It's terminal.

Mr. Belks, I'm sorry, but you have a life expectancy of 12 months.

However, sir, there are some medications that you can take that might give you

some extra months.

Mr. Belks, there's no bright side.

But once the medication takes effect, you should remain in relatively good

health, giving you time to take care of your personal affairs, and enjoy the

time you have left.

I'm about to keep looking through this.

I'll talk to you all later.

Sure thing, Mr. L.

Don't even worry about it.

Everything's going to be fine.

I know you're in, like, hospitals.

So, um, you could just... What you doing?

Look, you are the nicest person that I've ever met. You gave me an easy out.

for that, I will always love you and keep you in my heart.

Wait, what?

I'll pray for you.

Oh, goodbye, Martin.

Look, I'm blessed to have, you know, more time with y 'all in a couple weeks,

few months, you know.

But I do not need a pity party, so please stop with all the crying.

Okay?

Thank you.

We have to be brave for my son, y 'all.

Especially you, ma 'am.

Look, I'm going to try to uphold your wishes.

But until then, I need to see you as much as possible.

I'm going to go to work, though, but I'm going to put in my two weeks.

What?

Man, to hell with that job, bro. See, me personally, I would have hit the lotto

and quit on Spado.

I did hit the lotto, though. I really did.

I get to spend more time with y 'all.

Ah, man. To help out the people. You know how to help the people.

Well,

praise the Lord.

You coming to touch with me on Sunday?

Piss on me.

You're a better man than me, bro.

Because if I was in your situation, I'd probably be out of Brazil with all them

beautiful women going on.

And that's what you're going to be doing?

What? I ain't going anywhere without you. That's not even close to a good

Will, I'm glad you're finally getting out of here, man.

But don't kill Lisa.

I'm going to tell her.

If she hears the news from me, she might not be so sad.

Well, we'll see again.

It might.

All right, I'm about to get dressed so we can leave this place.

All right, get out.

Praise the Lord. I like you better, Martin.

We talk about love like it's something that we don't understand.

It's something we can't achieve.

But that's wrong.

Indeed, love is difficult.

Yes, it is.

1 John 3 .11 For this, is the message you have heard

from the beginning.

From the beginning.

We should love one another.

I said that a little right, but I wanted y 'all to hear it. So I'm going to say

it a little bit, and I want y 'all to hear the conviction that I have.

Y 'all hear me?

For this is the message you have heard from the beginning.

We should love one another.

For some reason, unfortunately,

we do what we think or what we deem important.

work, providing for the homeless or the poor, protecting the rights of others,

protesting the wrongs and injustices of anybody.

But y 'all forgetting one thing, the love.

You have to make providing that love a priority.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, what can we do for each

When was the last time you asked yourself, what can I do for the person

next to you?

When was the last time you took that time in your day, in your life, to show

somebody else the love that you feel in your heart?

It hurts my heart.

We waste time.

Trying to find things that ain't here.

You need to get started today.

You're not going to be guaranteed that check next week.

You're not guaranteed another job.

You're not guaranteed anything.

But you are guaranteed the love of Jesus.

That love should be in your heart right now.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

I want to finish by telling you all, seriously, from my heart to yours, make

love a priority.

Amen. Amen.

Amen, Pastor.

Finding love is difficult.

I said it once and I'll say it again.

Finding love is difficult.

But it surrounds you all the time. You are embraced by Jesus right now.

That love is surrounding you right now.

But it's up to you to recognize when you find it. Amen.

As the scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 13 .3.

Oh man, I'm sorry y 'all. I get a little emotional when I come to love.

I love y 'all so much.

I just feel it coming through right now.

And I want to be here for y 'all like I want y 'all to be there for each other.

As the scripture reminds us, if I donate all my goods and

give all my body in order to boast.

But I don't have love.

Again, I've sacrificed everything. I'm trying to give it all to you right now.

But I feel that love in my heart.

And if you did not have that love, do you know what you gain from all that

sacrifice?

Nothing. And that's not what you're here for.

Jesus wants to show you his mercy today.

He wants to show you his mercy every day.

He wants to cleanse your loveless heart right now in every moment of your life.

He's going to fill it with his loving Holy Spirit.

You have to allow Jesus to teach you and

show you how to love.

Follow his example and do To others as he has loved you.

That's right, that's right.

So did you enjoy yourself?

Yeah, I had a good time.

So are you going to come back next week?

We'll see.

Just like I told everybody.

Get the tears out now.

It's just not fair.

You know, life isn't fair, but we deal with it and move on.

Where's your cat?

Mart 9 is probably just sleeping.

Mart 9.

You know, I didn't even know you named that cat after me until Brandon told me.

How could you not know?

Come on, you're Martin, the perfect 10.

And my cat's got nine lives, and he's a nine.

Martin.

Okay, well, you know,

you know, I was not good to you.

Not that I think about it for real.

Actually, Martin, we had some really great times.

I look back on the relationship quite fondly.

Well, I'm glad you can look on the bright side of things, you know.

Well, I mean, I love that from you.

Where's that cat at? I do want to say goodbye before I get up out of here.

Here, Mark Nye, where you at?

Where you at? Where you at?

Where you at?

Are you home?

My biggest regret You

know what let me do you just want the paper right here,

you know I'm backed up right now.

I got like a month's worth of grade A sperm.

So we can go ahead and get it in real quick.

So I've already had the procedure done a few weeks ago, Mark. Oh.

I forgot all about that.

Never mind, I didn't even mention it. I'm about to get up out of here. I got

go to the clinic. No, wait, Mark. No, you need to slow down.

I'm small. I'm small. There's no rest for the weary.

Just give me a hug.

Check out.

Yeah, that's nice, that's nice. That's nice, all right, bro.

What you mean, it's nice, bro?

I like it, bro.

But if I snatch it, it's nice.

Bro, you ain't snatching nothing, dog.

You try it, it's going to be another story. I ain't doing that on nothing.

I love being here.

Bro, it ain't got to be like that, bro.

It's just a game, dog.

Dog, you got it right.

You got to keep it, bro. Let's keep it, bro.

Follow me.

What up?

What up, man? Why are you here?

That's the only thing I know, man.

That's anymore, though.

Get it together.

I'm not pregnant.

What we shooting for? My mama said position You

know,

I'll make some videos for Junior.

That's a great idea.

Yeah.

Why couldn't I?

If it done right years ago, like, we would have really been happy.

I mean, things just work out the way that they're supposed to.

Yeah.

Guess I had to bump it to my wrist or two to realize that you were the one.

And how did you pick that up with her anyways?

Shoot, she broke up with me.

Soon as the doctor gave me the bad news.

What?

Yeah.

I mean, maybe he was in misunderstanding.

Explain.

Well, you know, she got that hospital phobia stuff, so I kind of told her that

she wasn't obligated to have to stop by and see about me, and before I could

even finish my sentence, she dipped.

Quick.

Whew, that girl.

Yeah.

I was relieved, though, to be honest.

Oh, yeah? Why?

Yeah, because the day when y 'all two were at the hospital, before you left,

turned around with this look of concern.

Yeah,

I mean, that's because I thought I'd never see you again. And in my mind, I

thought that you and Marissa were a couple.

I mean, we did have a power couple name and all of that.

What was it?

Eminem. It was them and them we used to recite eight mile and all of that So he

was even gonna name my little kids him and oh my okay.

See that's lame.

That is lame.

Oh Let's shoot.

We should get a power couple night.

We are not doing that You know, she was my lust but uh, you were

my must So you're definitely trying to go for round two, aren't you?

What?

Too much PDA?

They hating it, huh? No, no, just... I thought you hated it, to be honest.

Look.

Martin and Marina Kitson, I promise you, is the worst porno ever.

These two, Lisa and Martin, they're so cute. They're putting on my heart shoes,

baby.

Nothing.

Y 'all do as much as y 'all like.

Look,

I'm just saying, I love seeing the two of you together.

It's my favorite.

I'm going to get the coffee.

Alright, how we looking, doc?

Well, Martin, there's been a little progression.

But the way you diet and exercise, the prognosis, that's basically the same.

So what I'm going to do, I'm going to up your dosage.

I hope we ain't talking about my medication, because I ain't been taking

What?

Yeah, I'm trying to get my girl pregnant.

How long you been off?

We're looking about three weeks.

Couldn't you...

Adopt? Yes.

Or can your girlfriend go to the fertility clinic?

No, that's off the table. It's not an option.

I took a step back in life, all right? I done thought about falling in love,

finding love, helping these kids reach their full potential.

Ain't nothing left to do but make some keys.

Martin, you start to go downhill real fast if you don't get back on your meds

soon. Your life expectancy will go from... One year to three months.

Is that what you want?

No, but I will give my life in order to create one.

Like that. So I can't change your mind?

No.

You know what, Martin?

Having my own kids means the world to me.

So I'll tell you what.

Let's give it three weeks.

If she's not pregnant by then, you'll have to start taking your medication

again.

And do we have a deal?

Three weeks. Three weeks? Three weeks. We got a deal.

Three weeks.

All right.

See you back in three weeks.

See you, Mark.

Hey, what's up, right?

Hey, bet.

I'm just cleaning.

Hey, you know what ran across my mind? Um, I'm always here.

And, uh, you're not too far from the center.

You know, there really ain't no point in me still paying rent in my spot, right?

Okay, I, uh, probably won't get a cop to breathe in.

Um...

Stop it, okay?

It's not that.

Martin, have you been taking your medications?

Open up your bag, and there were several unused prescriptions in there. Look, I

cannot get you pregnant.

He gave us a month window. We good. We can get it in there. He's going to put

back on the prescriptions at the end of the month. We good. It's too risky.

Look, look, look.

It's not risky at all.

We're going to get it in.

Don't be strict.

Let's go.

So, when

are we getting married?

What?

Don't play.

I heard the proposal.

Yeah, but I ain't finished it.

Okay, how about this? We go down to the Justice of Peace, then up the street to

MGM for the honeymoon.

Okay, okay.

But the honeymoon is here. There is no way I'm giving MGM $500 of my money,

okay? That's my child's money.

Let's do it now.

No.

No.

We don't have any time to waste. And plus, I don't want my child being

as a bastard.

That's not even a thing. It is so a thing.

Whatever. I'm down with it, though.

Yeah? Yeah.

Let's shoot down to the city -county building now.

Yeah. Okay.

Wait,

wait, wait.

We can't drive together, though. That's such bad luck.

All right.

My phone will get over.

Look, we close in two minutes.

Well, keep coming. Just give five minutes, please.

Ladies, do you know how much they pay me around here? I leave at five o 'clock.

Come here.

It took you so long. We need a witness.

Do you mind witnessing?

I'm late for an appointment.

All marriages end at divorce. Look, we don't have time.

Let's just get to it.

Okay. Do you take Martin to be your lawfully wedded husband?

I do.

Do you take Lisa to be your lawfully wedded wife? Yes, I do.

Rings. I got a ring.

Here, my brother.

I thank you. Thank you. Okay.

Does anyone object?

Nope.

By the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.

You may now kiss the... Oh, Lord, you're already kissing the bride.

Uh, good luck.

My cousin does the work.

Well, it's quitting time for government employees, so I guess he went home.

Hey, give me that back real quick.

I can sit there right back.

Because, you know, rings don't mean a bunch of nothing anyway.

Wait, what?

You know, Brandon and Angela ain't got a ring.

Oh, but you're going to get me a ring.

Off to the belt suite?

You know, I've been thinking, if I were to get pregnant today, you would

be able to meet our child.

Hey, you know, I didn't want to get your hopes up, but I've been counting down

the days on the calendar myself, for sure.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Hey, what's wrong? Everything all right?

I got my period.

Well, you know I got a little bit more time left before I gotta go back on my

meds, right?

You know, I've already been tested. Maybe you should be tested to make sure

little swimmers are swimming.

Um, yeah, I'm going to go to the doctor and make sure that I'm firing a loaded

gun.

Girl, now you know you wrong for not calling me for this wedding.

Not you two.

Girl, you and my dad both.

Now, my dad is 800 miles away in a retirement village living his best life.

And what you don't know is it was just like, it was spur of the moment. We just

had sex and decided to get married.

So you're telling me you don't have no time between all that.

I barely had time to take a quick hold back. Oh, my God.

You know you're wrong for that one.

Barely.

Hey, Mama Simone.

Hi, Lisa.

Yeah, I'm calling to talk to you about Martin.

Oh, is he all right?

Well, his doctor called and said that he stopped taking his treatments two weeks

prior to the recommendation.

No, that can't be. Martin told me last week the doctors gave him four weeks.

I don't want to risk his well -being.

Well, can you talk to him?

Yeah, I sure will.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Girl, what is going on?

Martin lied to me.

About what?

He wants to get me pregnant so bad he's willing to shorten his own life?

I mean, Martin is one of those types who's going to die trying, so.

The worst part about all of this is that I only have two weeks left in my cycle

to have a child of my own.

Damn, that's right.

So what are you going to do?

I'm going to that clinic.

What's up, man? Where you going, dog?

About to go hoop. Go hoop, man? You're supposed to be working, man. What's up

with that, man? Man, come on, man. Let's go.

Bring him over here to me.

Let's play with you, man.

Come on, man.

Come on, man.

Come on.

Let's play with you, man.

What do you think he is?

I think he's growing a little hair on his chest.

Know me.

a copy right now. Oh, whoa, whoa. Back up, back up, back up. What's going on?

Now, who you supposed to be?

I run the community center. What is going on?

What?

Well, I'm the mayor of the community.

And Chase here, he work for me.

Nah, I quit.

It ain't no quitting.

This right here is blood in and out.

All right, yo.

Everybody relax. Y 'all do know that it's cops that work down at the center

can really mess y 'all lives up. Man, I can get two shits about some crooked

-ass cops.

All right, well, we gone. What? What's going on? Hold on, hold on, hold on.

All right, y 'all going to have to shoot me in the back. Chase, move.

Move. Move.

Boy, they got guns. How you know they're not going to shoot us? Look, if they

shoot me, you run like hell, OK? Let him go.

Let him go.

You risked your life on me?

Well, isn't your life worth saving?

Is it?

It is.

It is what?

My life.

It's worth it.

You're out here.

Chippin? Yeah,

man. I'm trying to lower my handicap.

It's been my weakness on the course.

Losing a stroke every cold.

You know, I guess.

You know, I was thinking the other day.

I wish I could have been the best man at your wedding, bro.

I wish you could have, too. It was just a spur -of -the -moment type thing,

though? Yeah. You know, with all this extra stuff going on around me.

Everything I do is in the moment. Literally in the moment. Yeah, I hear

Well, I mean, I could be the godfather of your child.

There we go.

Y 'all adopting, right?

Ain't no adoptions happening, my dog.

We getting it in the regular way.

Okay.

To be honest, I feel like I need to father a child. Like, that's my last

on earth. And then there'll be good makeup for how I treated Lisa back in

day. You know, that was crazy.

Yeah, but I mean, y 'all still trying?

Yeah, we're still trying.

Oh, because I overheard Lisa and Angela talking about going down to the

fertility clinic.

When did you hear this, dog?

Maybe like about an hour ago.

I'm going to holler at you. I got to go do something.

All right, man.

I just hope the little swimmer's making it this time.

Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed.

Wait, am I too late? What are you doing here?

Well, I thought... Oh, I think someone's joining us. Yeah, this is my husband.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Bush.

How are you doing?

Well, I'm actually glad you're here.

I have some good news and I have some bad news.

Okay, well, the bad news is I won't be seeing you in this clinic anymore.

Wait, why?

Is it because of my husband?

No, no, not at all. It's because of the good news.

I'll be seeing you guys next door in the hospital.

Wait, how is that good news?

That's what I feel with my pregnant patient.

I'm pregnant.

Wait, we're pregnant? I'm pregnant, yeah. Oh, we're pregnant. Yes, yes,

pregnant. I don't know.

I got to get up out of here.

I got to go. I got to go.

I guess he was so excited he couldn't contain himself.

I guess so.

Somebody help me.

Sir, you okay?

I need Dr. Ross, Dr.

James. Sir, you okay?

Sir, you okay?

Code Blue!

Code Blue, I need help!

I need help!

You gave us quite a scare there, Mark.

Yeah, where am I?

You're in good hands, baby.

I just had a dream I was a father.

Just a dream come true.

Man,

the only thing that's kicking is your medicine.

So, doctor, what's Martin's present outlook?

Well, to be honest, according to these x -rays, the cancer is not

progressing.

Now, once we get Martin stabilized, he's looking at a nine to ten month survival

rate. Provided, Martin, you stay on your medication.

I will.

He is.

Well, it looks like you'll be able to welcome your baby into the world after

all. Yeah, I'll be there to see my baby.

Well,

my money is on Martin.

Martin, I'm going to have the nurse here draw some blood, okay? All right.

Okay, so I'll be back shortly, okay? All right, thank you. Okay.

Nurse, make sure I get those results as soon as they come in. Okay.

Be home.

One thing I did learn at church, though, I should have put off my loved ones

while trying to serve the community.

This ain't right.

Meaning?

Meaning I'm going to be at your every beck and call.

Oh, really?

Word.

So where are you going?

I'm going to watch a game.

The game? Now?

Yeah, you need some?

Word.

So, do you want to know what we're having?

As a matter of fact, yeah.

So I get some videos together for him.

Help him through the terrible tools.

First day of school.

First boyfriend.

Or first girlfriend.

Teach them how to find the right one at the right time and not waste them five

years of their life to do it.

Now that is a good one.

Have you thought of any names?

No, I ain't got that far yet.

What about Junior?

No, I don't think I like Junior.

You know me and my pops really ain't had that good of a relationship.

Should have wanted it all.

I would hate to be a junior.

So, no, I'm not going to do that to my son. But, babe, you are not your father.

Word. That's true.

But, no. What else you got?

Okay, so, I was thinking that if it's a girl, I like Malia.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That hit. I like Malia.

Yeah? Mm -hmm.

All right, we'll just hit the doctor in the morning then. That's all.

Okay.

Congratulations!

So what y 'all think y 'all having?

Well, I've been itching for a girl, but I feel like it's going to be a boy.

Okay. I still stuck on the name Junior, so it's whatever to me.

Big bro, don't worry about being a dad.

Your son will be proud to be a junior.

Look, I'm happy you two finally settled down. This baby is way overdue, okay?

Yeah, I agree with her. See, I want to be honest. I'm proud of y 'all.

Well,

let's go ahead and get this going and reveal.

Let's review.

Hey, Mom, what do you want the baby to be?

I really don't care as long as the baby's healthy, but... Right, right,

Hold on. Let me get this.

What is it? What is it?

It's a boy!

It's a boy! All right, I'm going to be spending less time around here with you

guys and coaching my wife to having this baby. Just letting y 'all know.

I'm having a boy again.

I'm having a boy.

Anything like you, boy ain't never getting no punishment.

The boys will be good, man.

We'll be safe.

Y 'all have made some good strides over the years, but the journey is not

stopping now.

Y 'all make sure y 'all take what y 'all learned, become the best version of y

'all self.

Y 'all need to get to college and finish college.

We good?

I'm going to beat Ohio State University.

Nah, you a traitor, bro. I'm going to miss you.

Yeah, me too.

I'm not caring what school y 'all go to. I just need y 'all to make a promise.

to me your parents and ultimately yourself that y 'all just gonna get it

cool all right we got pizza in the cafeteria y 'all gonna help yourself

don't trip over each other

you good

okay well there's pizza in the cafeteria

I asked you a question.

You're dying?

You got a medical issue?

Yeah, I was walking past the office and they were talking about somebody dying.

It definitely makes sense.

I knew something in my life was going to mess up.

You're going to your dream school, right, with a scholarship, right? Okay.

Okay, so how many people are coming from the hood getting scholarships?

Okay, but if I did it for you and not to disappoint you, then what difference

does it make?

Well, we're talking about you not disappointing yourself now.

How am I going to pay you back? You're already paying me back. How?

You're going to school.

You're about to graduate school.

You're going to find the next Chase, Vic, other hard -headed guy, and you're

just going to help a sunrise see another sunrise.

You feel me? That's some fucking bullshit.

Hey, it may be, but you're not about to bring all this negative energy in here

and just make us down.

All right?

Tell me something.

All right.

I'll keep going. Uh -huh.

I ain't going to let nobody stop me. Here we go.

Yeah, right. You're about to make me cry. I told you we'll. Nah, man.

We'll get off this.

Yeah, I know, man.

But no, seriously.

Life is way too short for all this crying and wallowing over the

you feel? You gonna go eat? We off of this?

Yeah, we are. All right, come on. We up.

Just let me know if I squeeze your hand too tight.

Nah, you can never squeeze my hand too tight.

Don't bring pregnancy.

Oh, then too? Well, I mean, you're going to be the one doing all the work, so

the least I can do is put up with a little hand -squeezage.

No, see, I heard that you get superhuman strength during pregnancy.

Oh, yeah, that.

When you're morphing in with Pink Ranger and Catwoman and Wonder Woman.

Okay, now.

We out

here lamazing.

Put the phone down.

No, we out here lamazing.

Now is not the time.

Enough of that. I think I had a wet green. Oh, shit.

Oh, my water broke.

Oh, okay.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Grab the bag. Grab the bag. What do you got, buddy?

Oh.

What? The show can't go on without me.

Be careful. Be careful. Get dressed.

Are you feeling any pain?

Mm -hmm. My hand?

I'm talking to Lisa.

You're an idiot, Greg, aren't you?

I'm fine. Just get him out of me.

You're doing great.

Just push.

Push, push.

Push. Breathe.

Push. We're almost there.

Uh, excuse me. Excuse me.

You're not believing.

You gotta do something, y 'all. Yo, hold on, hold on.

Where's my baby? The baby's fine.

Baby, right here.

Say hi.

Congratulations.

Oh, Martin, you're beautiful.

Thanks.

I'll give you two some time to enjoy.

Thank you. Thanks.

Doc, Doc, I appreciate y 'all keeping me here long enough to help me see the

birth of my baby boy.

This is definitely a team effort.

along with a little help from the man upstairs.

Amen.

Aw, look at him.

He's so handsome.

I don't know who he looks more like. I would have to say Lisa.

Good choice.

Absolutely. He's my little twin.

So, Dr. Roth, what's the outlook?

Well, the scans indicate that the disease has progressed.

But Martin here has outlived two separate prognosis.

So I would just take one day at a time and enjoy every minute you have

Well, that's good.

Well, Martin, we'll see you back in a month.

Yeah, God willing, I'll be here.

All right.

You know, Martin, it was such a good idea. You had a mother babysit me. Happy

COVID time.

Martin.

So, um, would you please take this long, long overdue reign?

Uh, yes.

Yes!

He's gonna be running his own pretty soon You

expecting

somebody no you

Yeah, I came from the airport I want to show you my

I've been studying all week. You been grading on the curve?

Look, I've been studying all week. Uh -huh. And before I practiced, I barely

time to see the ladies. So, I mean.

Oh, I get it. The ladies.

You use that what I gave you? I got to give you that talk again?

No. Please.

All right, man.

For sure.

Well, I know your mom is going to be proud of you, though.

Yeah, I finna go show her right now. So, I miss her. So, I'm about to go check

on her right now. Word, word.

Appreciate you stopping by. Be safe, man. Thank you, sir.

Keep it up. Lil' Marty.

Yeah, yeah.

My pleasure.

Thanks, Ms. Book. No problem.

Martin. Maybe Martin.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

It's hard for me, y 'all.

Usually, I say things left undone would have to remain that way.

But with Martin Belk Sr., he spent that short amount of time he had on earth

dedicating himself to getting things done.

Amen. Completing tasks.

There's not nothing left for him to do here.

So let us not be sad.

But rejoice in all of his accomplishments.

The things he's done for other people. The lives he's touched.

That's my son you're talking about there.

We all should be inspired to live our lives like Martin Belk Sr.

Got diapers, wipes, wands, tools, whatever you might need. I got you

a little while.

Thank you so much, Mama Simone.

Mm -hmm. I'll give you my grandbaby.

We know everything would have been so much easier had Martin would have made

those videos like he promised.

Yeah, but you're going to be all right as a single mother. I'm going to be

for you every step of the way.

Oh, thank you, Mama Simone.

Mm -hmm.

Now is this laptop I got him for his 25th birthday?

I believe it is.

Well, let's see what's on it.

Martin, I was afraid on my first day of school. No way, what's that? But I made

a lot of friends.

I had too much fun.

I don't know. Yeah, you did. Too much.

All the teachers call in my house.

Martin, you're in high school now.

I know you're going through puberty.

Becoming a man, so you are the man of this house.

Looks like there's one for you.

If you are watching this, that means that I am no longer here with you in

but I am with you in spirit.

And you are going to be an excellent mother.

This here is actually a card that I got for your birthday.

And there are 50 more in the cabinet over there.

Don't start crying now. It's going to be okay.

It is.

Welcome, Julie.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Click on Dear Mama.

What you got to say?

To my loving mother who raised me and made me into the man I am today. You

I think I'm going to go ahead and watch this a little bit later. You sure?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Here, take the baby.
