Okay, Butler family, groom in the middle. Okay, which one?

I'm sorry? We have two grooms. They're both getting married.

Oh, nobody told me.

Well, we didn't want you to charge us double.

Now I'm going to.

Smile.

The Johnsons are here. Why don't you all get in the picture?

I thought these were family photos.

Here we go.

Mr. Johnson said that they were moving to Michigan. You have been in a foul

mood. They are family.

Do I look like Timo?

Is there no free as a family play?

Calvin, look, this is a day of love. We are in a room filled with love.

Why can't you just admit how you feel?

Oh, I would admit how I feel, but we're in a church. All right. All right.

Listen, okay.

Dave, why don't you go stand on that? Okay.

Here we go.

Let's get married, baby!

Mommy!

It is bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony.

What's up, y 'all?

the corner until you get the all clear.

Thank you.

All right, butlers, we're getting close.

Oh, this is so exciting.

Let's take our seats, guys. Come on.

What are we supposed to do now?

I don't know. I'm afraid to move.

Welcome to the block. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Welcome to the... Ladies

and

gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce to you all...

contractually obligated to keep my name, it's on a line of shampoo.

I said what I said. The butlers, everybody!

I'm starving.

Is this what being pregnant is like?

Pretty much.

Yo, meatball man. Yes, thank you.

I can't believe I'm going to miss the babies being born.

It's okay, Gemma. You'll come back and see him? Of course.

And you'll all come to Michigan, right?

Right. Barely Michigan. Yeah, I mean, like... Uh, why the face?

What's with the caviar?

I don't need a lot of tiny little eggs on a big egg.

Calvin, this is a classy affair.

It's not a yard cue.

No, I know it's not a yard cue.

Because if it was a yard cue... Nobody would be putting pre -ground pepper on

lamb chops.

I'm just glad my father's not alive to see this.

First thing, you made my boy the happiest man in the world.

Hey, uh, could I get you two to sign a copy of your book?

Yeah, of course.

Although, Malcolm wrote it. I just put my name... Hold on. How did you get

Yeah, uh... The book isn't even out yet, Trey.

Oh, I just grabbed a few out of the box that was in your living room when I was

house -sitting for you.

No, I did not ask you to house -sit.

Come on, man. You don't have to. We've been friends for 30 years.

Grover?

What's with the bags?

Mr. Calvin, I come to you now in my hour of need.

to move to Michigan.

And I'd like to claim a thylum in your house.

Uh, that's not happening.

Would you let someone force you to move to Michigan?

When I was 15?

Yes.

Come on.

Help a brother out.

Okay. I see you pulling out all the tricks.

Nice try.

But go on now.

Mr. Calvin, usually I would go on now.

But this time the stakes are too high.

Oh.

Hey, I've never had anybody not go on now.

No, but I'm gone.

We'll have girls trips, right?

Oh, definitely.

We'll meet somewhere in the middle. What's halfway between L .A. and

Nebraska.

Was three -quarters of the way.

Let's just say Vegas.

Vegas!

More.

More. Come on, more, more. More, more, more, more, more, more, more. Sir, sir.

That is enough pepper.

Of course.

You know better than I do.

But you don't.

Sorry about Grover camping out at your house.

Camping? He's basically asked me to adopt him.

But this whole moving thing is really making him act out.

Well, you're tearing him away from his home. It's selfish.

His words.

Well, I'm sorry he feels that way, but it's not his choice.

Exactly. Because you and Dave are making the decision for him. And he feels

betrayed. Be your own people.

His words.

Oh, come on. Calvin.

Grover said, it be your own people?

Yes.

And I told him it was cultural appropriation.

But he used it right.

I'll take that. No, no, no, no.

Ground pepper. Go on, get on with it.

I love how chill you guys are about the parental controls.

I'm parental controlled.

I'll be in my room.

You don't have a room.

Curious. Hey, Dad, while we have you alone, we got you something.

What's this?

Well, it's a token of appreciation from me and Malcolm.

Wow.

What?

It's beautiful.

Read the engraving.

For the man who taught us to be men.

Wow, guys, I don't even know what to say.

Thanks, son.

We got him. We did.

Yeah, we did good. Yeah, we did.

And one more thing. One more thing.

Brown sugar knife.

This is your book.

Yep, first copy.

You got him one more thing?

Read the acknowledgments.

To my father, Calvin Butler, who never lost faith in me.

Blindsided here.

Of course I never lose faith in you, son. Well, I almost did.

You know, Papa, it wasn't that long ago I felt like I was going nowhere, living

back home.

But you believed in me.

Now I'm a novelist. I'm married. I'm about to have a kid.

Well, you got two kids from me.

Well, thank you for this, son.

And you got me a watch.

Well, we got you the watch.

Oh, hey, Mama, perfect.

We got something for you. One thing, White Malcolm.

Oh, you don't have to get me anything.

Yes, we did.

I know you did because I raised you right.

Oh, my goodness. It's so beautiful.

I love it.

I picked it out for you, Mommy. And Daddy's too.

Thank you, David. As for being the best mama ever.

Aw. Hey, babe. Yeah, baby. Check it out.

Ooh, nice. And I'm on the first page of Malcolm's book. Aw.

That's a whole lot of skin.

Yeah. We're going to have to read this together.

No, I don't want to.

We can do more to read.

Are you happy now, Malcolm?

Yeah, no, look.

Look what you did.

No, no, wait a minute. Look at what you did, Malcolm.

Baby,

before we go back out there, can you please just fix this mess with Dave?

There's nothing to fix.

Dave's moving.

We'll get new neighbors.

Baby, it's just weird to me. Everything is changing.

We're about to start a whole new chapter in our lives. The boys are married now.

They're going to have their hands full with their new family soon.

Honestly, it's just scary.

It's going to be okay when it's just the two of us, right?

Is that what you're worried about?

Babe, you're looking at this all wrong.

We're not losing our kids.

We're gaining more of each other.

I guess that's true.

It is true.

We can do whatever we want to. Yeah. We can travel, take a cruise. Yeah. We can

visit all the countries where they drive on the wrong side of the road.

Well, we can do whatever.

Because we are Calvin and Tina Butler.

Yes, we are.

Hey,

Tina. Sorry about all this. The last thing you need today is Grover squatting

your house.

Grover's in our house?

Long story, babe.

But the upshot here is he is not very happy about this Michigan thing.

Yep, neither am I.

You think we are? Do you know that moving is one of life's top five

right next to death of a spell?

Really? Does no one read my sub stack?

When we moved here, oh, my God, that was so stressful. I remember the first time

I tried to get on the freeway, there were so many cars, and nobody would let

in, and I had to pull over onto the shoulder.

Yeah, and you called me, and I had to come get you. Yeah, and you brought me a

smoothie and a Xanax.

You know, I remember when you first took me to the barbershop.

Yeah, I still don't know what I was thinking there.

I learned so much. Who knew that you could buy shrimp at a barbershop?

Where am I going to buy shrimp in Michigan?

Well, at a store.

But I hear you.

Oh, you're still here.

The bartender is out of Butterbeer, which is interesting because someone

that Butterbeer was silly.

Turns out it's super popular, Gemma, Mama.

Well, that's because you invited so many nerds.

Also... Uh, Courtney's grandmama, Willie Anne, she lost her dentures. So, uh,

has anybody seen a set of bottom teeth?

Oh, that reminds me. Remember that time you were watching Grover and he lost a

baby tooth and you gave him a $10 bill?

That's when I knew I needed glasses.

Because I thought it was a one.

Yeah, I remember that. And we got so mad because we used to only get a quarter.

Yeah, it took me four teeth to get one can of soda.

You know, that's what's going to make this so hard.

We've had so many great memories in this house.

I mean, the amount of times that I've heard, get out, Dave.

And you never got out.

Until now.

Until now.

We have company?

You don't live here.

We're just reminiscing, honey.

Talking about how hard this move is going to be.

Yeah, Malcolm and Marty have been like my big brothers.

Yes, we have.

Hey, uh, you remember when we taught you how to play poker? Oh, yes.

And he gave you my first beer.

What? This

is

going to be hard on all of us.

Even though some of us won't say it.

Here they are.

Hey, sorry to bother you, but did you want to, I don't know, join your

Oh!

No, no, no, no, no.

You too.

Hey, buddy.

Glad to see you back out here.

Yeah, but don't expect me to be my usual bubbly self, okay?

I won't.

But remember, you were not on board at all when we moved here.

She found your place.

Yeah, and you know what? In Kalamazoo, girl, you're going to be the cool

California kid.

You think that's true?

Absolutely.

You've been to Laker games.

You go to school with an extra from Stranger Things.

You saw Judge Judy in a Whole Foods.

I'll be a god.

Son, we both will. Okay.

Your attention, please.

And now it's that time.

Let's hear it for the father of the grooms, Mr. Calvin Butler.

Well, thanks for coming tonight, everybody. We appreciate you being here.

lovely night. I see so many friends and neighbors here.

This is the greatest neighborhood in the world.

And Tina and I are blessed.

So many ways.

Malcolm,

Marty, you've grown to be great men.

Courtney, Mercedes, welcome to the family.

And soon, you'll be having families of your own.

Well, Marty kind of got a bit of a head start.

Head start right here.

And for the record, we will not be babysitting all three grandbabies at

Yes, we will.

Well, I stayed correct.

And while this night is about celebration, I have to acknowledge that

bittersweet.

While we are welcoming new family members, we're saying goodbye to others.

The Johnsons.

And I'm going to have to keep it real, y 'all. You know, I wasn't feeling Dave

at first.

We were in a little short shorts.

But you know, since I am

keeping it real, I have to say that you turned out to be a great neighbor.

And?

And a good friend.

Yeah, there we go.

And? Hey, whatever, man. My best friend.

And?

I'm going to miss you, man.

I love you, too.

I did not say that.

Yes,

you did.

I speak Calvin.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Don't worry about it. Now, to quote one

of our great poets who spoke of the power of love, of course I'm speaking of

Huey Lewis, I've got some news for you.

Now, the journey is long, but the death...

to take that box of charging cables?

I don't know what they go to. What if I find the thing later? How am I going to

charge it?

Take to L .A.? Did you bring those with you when you moved here?

I don't know what they go to.

Hey, uh, Calvin?

Yeah?

I want you to have this.

Thank you, Dave. I'll... I'll treasure it.

What is it?

It's called scoby.

It's the mother yeast I've used for years to make my famous kombucha.

I can't accept this. No, no, no, no.

Mother is far too delicate to make the trip.

But now you can make your own booch. And a piece of me will always be in your

gut.

We'll throw it away as soon as they leave.

I think I'm going to leave it for the new neighbors.

Oh.

Mr. Calvin.

Yeah? Thank you, Mr. Calvin, for everything.

You've taught me a lot.

I guess this is it.

Oh, wait.

I almost forgot.

Oh.

Is this the key to our house?

You'd only been here a few weeks when you gave it to us.

It meant so much.

Greatest day of my life.

And bear in mind, I married him and gave birth to his child.

You know what? Thank you, but you keep it.

Our door is always open.

This neighborhood will always be your home.

Well, all right.

Oh, come on.

Nice.

Come on, buddy.

Get in there, man. Get in there. I love you, Mr. Lady. Me, too. You take care.

Oh, Dave.

Take care, man.

Oh, me, too.

All right. See you, Belle Grover. See you, Belle. All right, guys. Be good.

Oh, I'm going to miss you.

You'll make sure you'll come back and visit any time.

But call first.

Well, that's that.

This neighborhood will never be the same.

So, you ready to meet our new neighbors?

I'm going to need a minute.

I'm not ready to break in a new Dave.

Welcome to the block.

Welcome to my neck of the woods. Never was perfect, but it's better than good.

Take all my neighbors and do what we can do for them. It's new for some, for

others it's a veteran hood.

The block, not a lot, but it's all we really got.

We just should buy in the areas, they will never stop.

For the next door, gotta stick together and we know that. If you buy time, then

you know I got your back. Welcome to the block. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Welcome to the hood.
