[upbeat jazzy music playing]

[Angela] Oh my goodness.
This table looks fantastic.

First party at the new house.

I need it to be perfect.

Make sure all the name tags
are like I showed you.

Oh, no. Hold up.

Marcus!

What?

-You left a tie up there for me.
-[Angela] You…

-Marcus, just put on the damn tie.
-It's Roselyn. We've known her years.

Baby, our daughter
is marrying her son. Okay?

-I know.
-We haven't seen her in a while.

So we need to make a good impression.

-Impression?
-Yes.

But it's just Ro… [sighs] Honestly,
we should be paying for this wedding.

-It is our daughter.
-[Angela] Uh-uh.

At least we bought her the dress.

And do you really wanna pay

what they paying
for that wedding in Italy?

Especially after all the money
we spent on this house.

So let them do it.

Yeah, I just wish
she wasn't marrying this kid.

I can't… I just don't like this boy.

I don't like his father either.

What kind of man takes a woman

for half of what she earned
before they met in the divorce?

Roselyn is doing fine.

Her real estate company is doing
even better after the divorce.

And plus,
we haven't seen her in a long time.

I bet she coming in here
like the last diva.

I'm sorry, are you Roselyn Mack?

-Uh, yes, I am.
-[woman] Oh God, I told you it was her.

We are your sorority sisters.

Oh, okay, hi.

You spoke at our convention
on investing in real estate?

-Yes, I remember that. Mm-hmm.
-[woman sighs]

-You were amazing.
-Thank you.

Can we get a picture?

Uh… sure.

Babe, I'm just really sad
that Pat isn't coming.

Yeah, well, she's busy.
She's on her lecture tour.

[Angela] No, I don't think
that's what it is.

After losing Gavin and her baby boy,

I think it would just be
a little too hard for her.

Yeah.

You know he would've been
the same age as Jasmine.

But you know Pat's one of the best
in the therapy game. She'll be all right.

Well, I know I'mma move Mike's ass
away from Troy and Sheila

'cause you know he coming in here
with some preschooler.

You'd think after his ass had cancer,
he would've learned something.

-What?
-[Mike] All right. Come on.

-Why you always taking pictures?
-God, it's for your TikTok, Daddy.

It's gonna look good.

-Hold it up like that.
-Oh, all right. Okay, all right. There.

Yeah!

-[Mike] Whoo!

Sheila and Troy are grown,
so they won't care.

Baby, Troy will care.

Trust me.

He tolerates Mike's ass,
but he can't stand him, just like me.

But I'll tell you one thing, babe.

What Mike did to Sheila and Troy was
the best thing that could've happened,

because Troy and Sheila
are solid as a rock.

-Baby, I don't think I should go.
-No, Mom. You gotta come.

Angela and… and Marcus and Jasmine…

-I think they'll understand.
-[Troy] Hey. Hey, hey, hey, look at me.

Denver's right.
This woman's a professional.

She's got her covered.

All right?

We're all going.

You need this break.

We all need this break.

Would… would you take this picture
for us, please?

Come on, sit down, son.

[Troy] Mm-hmm.

Love you, Mom.

[camera clicks]

[Angela] I'm just so happy
we're all gonna be together

'cause you know we don't get together
like we used to.

-Yeah.
-It'll be nice to see Terry and Dianne.

[Marcus] Yeah, it'll be good
to see them again.

[magical music playing]

[Dianne] It's gorgeous.
It's absolutely stunning.

[Terry] Not as beautiful
as what I'm looking at.

Okay, let's keep your eyes on the…

[Terry] I got this on autopilot.

It's flying itself.
We can get in the back seat.

Ah!

I don't know who you're trying to be.

You have never been that adventurous.
I would never.

I'm not adventurous?
You think you know me?

After 27 years of marriage,
I think I know you. I think I do.

[indistinct chatter]

[Marcus huffs]

Damn.

[chuckles] What? Is something on my dress?

No, it's what's in the dress.
Baby, you look amazing.

-Thank you, baby.
-[door opens]

[indistinct chatter]

Ooh, that's gonna be us
in the next 30 years, Wesley.

-[laughs]
-[Marcus Jr] Ew!

-Mom, Dad, chill, come on.
-All right, come here, baby.

-Mama.
-[chuckles] Hi. Mwah!

-Hey, Daddy.
-[Angela] Marcus Jr.

Come here.
You better give me some love, baby.

-Hey, baby girl. You look beautiful.
-[Angela] Oh, I love you.

-Hi, Kenya. Hi, T.J.
-Hi.

And, Wesley, my future son-in-law.

Hey, Mom.

[Marcus] Hmm. Yeah.

Hi, uh, Mr. Williams.

Yep.

[Marcus Jr] Yo, you don't gotta be
so proper all the time.

Dad, all jokes aside,
you gotta come to the next game.

-Junior.
-[Marcus Jr] Me and Wes killing it.

-He's right on your records for yards ran.
-Come on. Stop.

Junior, shut up.

Ma, like, he's really on…
Look, I'm dead serious. Look. Look.

-Baby, he's telling the truth.
-Stop.

My records have been at that school
since I've been at that school.

-And you ain't touching them.
-It looks like light work to me.

-Uh-uh. No.
-Baby, I'm just telling the truth.

-[Marcus] Light?
-[Wesley] Yes.

Your whole league
is light work these days.

Now, I have the touchdown record
and the yards rushing.

-[Jasmine] Dad.
-So what?

And the old-ass knees to prove it.

-Okay? [laughs]
-There we go.

-[chuckles]
-All right, come on, baby…

Baby, I believe your knees have
more wear and tear on them than mine.

[chuckles]

[Jasmine groans]

♪ La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la ♪

Okay, y'all. Come on. Let's go upstairs
and get ready to get dressed.

-Okay.
-The guests will be here in an hour.

-[Kenya] Sweets, I'mma get you dressed.
-Yes, ma'am. Let's go!

Mom and Dad said they just landed.
They should be here any minute.

-Oh, that's great.
-Great.

[Angela] It's gonna be good
to see Terry and Dianne.

So, as I was saying--

No, no, no, Dad. No, we're good.
No, Dad, seriously. We're good.

Bro, I gotta get you fly, man.
I can't have the girls outdoing us.

Aw, hell.

-Ma, that dress is beautiful.
-[Angela] Thank you, baby.

That was a good one, Uncle Marcus.

No, that was not a good one, T.J.

I know that's my sister and all, man,
but I wouldn't do this.

Huh? You gotta stop that.

[chuckles] T.J.

T.J. Look, how do I say this?

Marriage is for guys like you.

They be throwing that ass this way.
You don't know what that's like.

-Yo, dude, chill. Leave that man alone.
-He don't. His little nerdy ass, bro.

Wes, I'm just saying, bro.

We used to be smashing these girls
with two-mans and all that stuff.

-You sure you wanna do this?
-What?

How are you, the best man, trying to
talk him out of marrying your own sister?

All right, look, I'm not.

But all right, fine.

I'm just saying, I knew how we was moving.

But I'll think about marriage
when I'm old.

Like, I don't know, 39, 40, 41.

You know what I'm saying?
But, look, you go ahead, Wes.

You try to run that same play
for the rest of your life.

I'mma see how it goes for you.

In the meantime,
I'm gonna learn some Italian

so I can smash some Italian shit,
you know what I'm saying?

[chuckles]

Come on, T.J.

-[door closes]
-You know, ever since--

Don't say her name. Please don't.

-He's been very different.
-[Wesley] Don't I know it.

That man's my roommate. [scoffs]

-Don't pay him no mind, man.
-As long as I can.

Baby, look at his stats.
And they say this kid is on my record?

I was the best thing outta that program.

Can you just stop this?
I'm not doing this with you.

-But--
-[Angela] I'm just not. I can't.

-We're not walking in on any arguments.
-[Troy] Hey!

-Not today.
-[Angela] No, no.

-[Marcus] What's up, T?
-We haven't argued in years. I promise.

-Stop lying.
-I promise, Terry.

-[Marcus] No.
-How you doing, baby? You lying.

-Oh my gosh. Sheila!
-[Sheila chuckles] Divas!

-[Marcus] Yeah, but I'm saying--
-[Angela] Hey, Troy.

-For real? For years?
-[Marcus] Hand to God.

I'm serious. Look at this.

This kid
Jasmine's supposed to be marrying,

he's at our alma mater,

and they say
that he's threatening to break my records.

Marcus, he's close, man.
I've been watching him.

But I have held that record since--

1944 B.C.

-[Dianne laughs]
-All right? Hi, diva! Oh, please.

[Dianne] It is so good to see you guys.

This was a great idea, for us to come
a day early and fly together to Italy.

I wish Pat was here. I do.

-Yeah. Me too.
-I know. I know.

-[Denver] Hey, y'all.
-[Dianne] Oh my goodness.

-Look at this one. Good to see you.
-[Marcus] Look at you.

How you doing?

-Denver, my nephew.
-Hey, Auntie.

-Mwah! Look at you.
-Hi!

-Oh, he is so handsome.
-Thank you, Auntie.

The kids are upstairs, okay?
The boys are in the room on the left.

Okay. All right.

[sighs] This is crazy.

It was like yesterday
we were changing his diaper.

-I know.
-And now…

[Terry] Now we got kids
going off to college

and knocking down Marcus's record.

[Angela] Oh, hey…

-Stop.
-Stop it, Terry. He's so jealous.

Hey, hey, hey. I'm not jealous.
I just don't like the boy.

I think our daughter
could do better than him.

[Terry] You know, if I'm not mistaken,

I think that your dad said
the same thing about you.

-[Sheila] Ooh!
-Right.

There's something about this kid
I just don't like.

He said that too.

-That's right.
-[Terry] Sure did. Sure did.

Well, now!

-[Angela] Ah!
-[Sheila] Oh!

[laughing]

-[Terry] Oh, good to see you, baby.
-Hey, how are you? Good to see you.

-Hey, superstar.
-Hello!

-Hey.
-Get your hugs in.

Oh, we all look good.

-My God! Good to see you.
-It is so good to see you.

You look amazing!

-We look good.
-Oh, Ros. Yes!

How you doing?

Oh, can you believe
that our kids are marrying each other?

Yes, I can believe it.
I just got the bill. [laughs]

Anyway, are they here?

Yes, they're upstairs getting ready.

And didn't you come ready
for the dinner party?

Girl, this travel clothes.
I need to change.

I'm… I'm late, but I'll be quick.

-I could've stayed in a hotel.
-[Angela] No, honey. We're family now.

[Roselyn] I love this house!

[indistinct chatter and laughter]

-[Terry] Wow.
-[Troy] Yeah. You can say that again.

Marcus, this place is amazing, bro.

If you get another one
of those investment opportunities,

you gotta let me know.

I was gonna let you know about this one,
but this came from Mike, so…

Right. We talked about it though.
We didn't want to tell you.

Had I known there was
this kind of cash in the conversation,

I might've put my feelings
about him on hold

in order to give Sheila and Denver this.

-But come on. You're doing okay, right?
-We're doing great.

I mean, the business
is finally getting its footing.

I'm out in the field,

but it's actually Sheila
handling the day-to-day.

-[Marcus] Man, that's good.
-We're proud of you, brother.

-Thank you. I'm proud of us.
-Yeah.

-Who knew it would be like this, right?
-[Terry] Hmm.

And that Angela would be
the only woman for me.

-Damn.
-I was worried about your marriage.

-I was worried about my marriage too.
-I was worried about your marriage three.

[all chuckle]

Especially after that last episode.
I… [sighs]

But anyway, how's yours going?

Again, me and Sheila are doing great, man.

All right.

But there is, you know, a little something
that's been a little stressful.

[Marcus] What?

What's going on? Wanna talk about it?

Yeah, but I think it's better
to hear it from Sheila.

Um… Just life be lifeing, you know?

Yeah, I get that.

Dianne and I had a rough patch,
but we're the best we've ever been.

Like you ever had to say
anything about that.

I mean, y'all are always good.

You're like the same all the time.
Just even.

Yeah, but I could use a little adventure
every now and then.

-You?
-[Terry] Yes.

Come on, man. You don't take
no chances. You just like your son.

-I think that was a compliment.
-[Terry] Marcus.

-Ter… Terry, you okay?
-What?

Twelve o'clock.

-My tw… my twelve. Twelve o'clock.
-What?

-Twelve o'clock. My twelve.
-Fellas! Ooh, fellas!

[Terry] What is on his head?
How did chemo give him hair?

[Marcus] I don't… Yeah.

Oh.

-Um… Who… Who invited her here?
-Who is that? Who is that?

The girl who broke M.J.'s heart.

-She's with Uncle Mike?
-Oh.

How y'all doing?

-What's happening, Mike?
-[Mike laughing]

What up, Mike? Hey. Hey.

Troy. Look at that.
I wouldn't miss this for the world.

My little niece is getting married? Huh?

-Were you invited? I don't think we…
-[Mike laughs] Look at that.

-Angela's gonna feel weird--
-I can care less about Angela.

I know she's your wife,
but she's a wicked witch, okay?

All right? In a good way. In a good way.

My point to you is, I'm never gonna miss
my little niece getting married.

Seems like yesterday she was just a baby.

Speaking of a baby, uh…

Oh. Oh, yeah. Sexy, right?

Um, um, Regina, come over here.

Uh…

-Hi.
-Fellas, this is my girlfriend.

-Regina, this is the fellas.
-Hi.

-[Mike] But, uh… Terry.
-Hi. How are you?

This is Marcus, the one I hooked up
with that investment in the company

that got us both paid.

-Terry, you slipping. [laughs]
-[Regina] Yeah. That's crazy.

-My daddy be making them racks.
-That's right.

She said "daddy." Her daddy, yeah.

Don't be jelly.

This is, um… Troy.

He's the one that, uh, married my ex.

-He don't look nothing like you said.
-What?

No, he's cute.

All right, you need to…
Look, he's, uh, in the grass business.

Oh. [laughs]
Is that what you guys call weed?

-"Business."
-No. He cuts grass.

Can you just stay
right over here for a second, please?

Um… [smacks lips]

Anyway, hoo… Okay, um…

[indistinct chatter]

What you keep looking at?

Man, this, well…

-I think it's the hair.
-[Terry] Yeah.

Nah… What you talking about?
I just grew it out.

I don't remember it being
that, uh, thick in, uh, college.

And I don't remember it being that black.

Um…

First of all, why y'all trying to play me
in front of my girl like that?

You know… look, you know
I've always been able to grow my hair.

-Hey, Denver, look at this. [chuckles]
-Yo, what…

-[T.J.] Oh.
-[Wesley] The f…

-[T.J.] Hey, buddy.
-Yo, yo, yo.

It's not a big deal.
Don't do it. Don't do it.

I just went bald,
you know, like Jordan, that's all.

-[Terry] And it just grew back.
-I mean, not in my… Just in my--

Hey, M.J., what's up, nephew?

This is my favorite right here.
Look, this is my girlfriend, Regina.

This is my favorite nephew, M.J.

Oh, and my other nephews right here.
No offense, guys.

Hi.

[clears throat]

Move, T.J.

[Mike laughs]

I love that little boy.
[laughs] He just like your ass, all right?

He came over here,
thought he could get it.

And then when he realized…

[laughs]

Man, you would've did the same thing.
Don't judge him.

[laughs]

-She's really with him.
-Just chill.

-Gold-digging-ass ho.
-Bro…

-Bro, calm down.
-Cheap-ass dress.

What you mean, "calm down"?
Hell no. That's my uncle.

Technically,
he's not your biological uncle.

Yeah? "Technically, he's not…"
Shut up. It don't matter, all right?

Game on.

All right, what are you gonna do?

-[Sheila] My goodness.
-[Roselyn] I know, it's nice.

Beautiful.

-Ooh.
-Ooh.

I'll be back for that.

Uh-oh.

[clears throat]

Sheila.

[sighs]

Roselyn.

Hi.

Now, you're still not mad at me

because I was on Harvey's side
during the divorce, are you?

[Roselyn] No, not at all.

Look, it's a happy occasion,
and let's celebrate.

Exactly, let's celebrate.

You look good. You look good.

Um, so, yeah.
So, uh, is… is Harvey coming?

He's your friend, didn't you call?

No, he wasn't invited,
but he'll be at the wedding.

-[camera clicks]
-That's great. That's great.

Can't wait to see him.

-Ooh, look at this, girl.
-Gorgeous. I know.

Hi. Oh my God.

Hey, hand me the mic, babe.

Thank you.

Okay, everybody. Hey, find your seats.

Oh, y'all look so good.

-Y'all look good.
-[Mike] Who let her have a mic?

-Y'all looking good.
-[Mike] Why?

-[microphone whines]
-Calm down.

[indistinct chatter]

[laughs raucously]

[laughter echoes loudly over speakers]

[microphone whines]

Oh my God, did you all see this?
I mean, come on.

Oh no! Wait. Wait. No.

Hold up.

One second. Um…

Okay. First question.

Can you turn the smile off?

-[group snort and chuckle]
-[Angela laughs heartily]

[Mike mimics laughter jeeringly]

-I mean, come on!
-[Mike] Whoo!

-Yeah.
-What's happening?

Baby, this is Angela. All right?

Not only does she laugh like a witch, um,

she looks like the Joker.

You… Did you just say "baby"?

Because "baby" is right.
I thought she was your nurse.

[chuckles] No, I don't need a nurse
no more, okay?

-[Angela] Mm-hmm.
-I've been cancer-free for years.

-That's wonderful.
-Yeah, we are so happy to hear that.

-Thank you.
-[Angela] Uh, some of us.

And when'd you get so Zen?

Therapy, it works. I'm not letting nobody
disturb my peace.

Well, I am so sorry.
I don't have any kiddie tables.

[Dianne] Okay. Angela.

-[Angela] No. Come on.
-[Dianne] That's enough.

Y'all don't see us coming in here
with someone half our age.

Because a man half your age
wouldn't want your dumb ass.

-No.
-Okay. Our kids are watching.

So can we just sit down, babe?
I think that's a good idea.

-Yes.
-[Dianne] You're right, let's sit down.

Find our seats. We're over here somewhere.

-Where do you think they met?
-On TikTok.

Oh, that's that clock app?
I heard about that.

Remind me to show you the page later.

Well, as long as he's happy.

-Happy?
-Happy? Until the money runs out.

I mean, look at his old ass, y'all,
coming up in here with this young girl.

He looks so stupid.

Bro, chill. Please, stay away from her.
Do not ruin this for me and your sister.

-Ruin it?
-Yes, ruin it.

Wes, you and my sister getting married
is already ruining everything.

You know the truth.
You and your moms don't even get along.

[Sheila] Well, I love my old man,

with his weak knees
and his farting in his sleep.

And the sleep apnea.

Oh, Terry too?

Oh, yeah, and he hates that machine.
He hates it.

You should hear Marcus. [snoring]

-Oh, I'm hungry. I'mma go.
-[Angela] Okay.

-I'm hungry too.
-Y'all, help me with this damn fool.

'Cause I'm telling you,
I might have to stab him.

-You know the truth--
-We're talking about the truth?

You got your heart played with
one little time?

It ain't… All right. Whatever, bro.

Wesley. I came up to say hi to you.

Oh, I was busy.

You're not gonna say hi to me, son?

Hi, Ma.

[poignant music playing]

-Oh, I am so happy.
-[cheering]

Thank you all.
Thank you so much for coming.

I wanted to take a moment for our friends

that were unable to travel with us
tomorrow to Italy for the wedding.

I also thought that it would be great
to have our longest best friends here.

Terry and Dianne,

Troy and Sheila, Roselyn,
Marcus and I have all been friends--

Whoa. You not gonna mention my name?

-Hilarious.
-You too, Mike.

-[Terry] You too, Mike. Stop.
-Okay.

We've been fortunate enough
to be able to raise our children together.

[chuckles] I just want you all to know
that we are so proud of you.

And the fact that the first
of our kids getting married!

-Yeah.
-[guests applaud and cheer]

To our friend Roselyn's son.

I'm my dad's son too, don't forget.

Oh, yeah,

and your, uh, father's son too, of course.

And this is all just…
It's… it's so beautiful.

-And sad.
-No.

Uh, Marcus, it's sad
because you guys just grew up so fast.

You know that? Y'all grew up so fast.

And I want you all to know

how much we love you
and how special you are.

-Let's say cheers and drink.
-Cheers!

Everybody drink.

[cheering]

-Thank goodness. What?
-[Jasmine] Wait. Wait.

We have something we want to say.

-We do?
-Marcus, shut up.

So, Mom, Dad,
you all have been amazing parents.

And you all don't know this,
but when we were younger,

we all made a pact

that if we couldn't find relationships
like you guys, we wouldn't get married.

Hold up. Who's she talking about?

-Marcus and Angela? [laughs]
-Mike, you need to stop it right there.

[Denver] The example you showed us,

how to be there for each other,

how to trust each other,
and how to love each other.

What… Who are they talking about?

[Denver] And I pray
for a woman like my mom.

And we all want to marry
men like our dads.

-[guests chuckle] Aw!
-Marry people like you, Marcus, and Troy?

-Will you shut…
-[chuckles] Good luck!

-Mike, will you shut the hell up?
-Oh… Sorry. Sorry.

[T.J.] Yeah, I feel the same way,
Mom and Dad.

[Mike laughs]

-[Dianne] Oh, babe, thank you.
-[Denver] We love you all so much.

To our moms and dads.

[cell phone vibrates]

-Cheers.
-[Angela] Hey!

[Wesley] Wait, hold up. Excuse me.
One second. Excuse me.

-[Mike] Cheers.
-[Wesley] Excuse me.

I, um… I wanna say something about my dad.

Although he's not here,

he's been the best example of a father
anyone could ever ask for.

I mean, I'm the man I am today
because of him.

And only him.

Let's go.

[woman 1] Okay.

Cheers.

[woman 1] Um, ch… cheers.

-[woman 2] Cheers.
-Damn.

Take us home, D.

Uh… uh, yeah. Um, to the best example
kids could ever have.

-Cheers.
-Yeah.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-This is gonna be fun.
-Stop.

This is gonna be really fun.

-[guests] Cheers.
-[applause]

-[rhythmic R&B music plays]
-[indistinct chatter]

Yeah. Look at Mike. What is…

-Oh, no. That is…
-Yeah.

[Dianne] You notice
they're not very affectionate?

-Yeah, I did notice that.
-[Dianne] Hmm.

-Did Kenya say anything to you?
-No.

-[Terry] Did T.J.?
-[Dianne] Mm-mm.

-I was about to ask you the same thing.
-[Terry] No.

[Dianne] Hmm.

I don't know.

[R&B music continues]

[laughter]

Sheila, you are taking a lot of pictures.

I… I never knew you were
the resident photographer. [laughs]

Yeah, I've been taking a lot of photos

'cause… Mommy has Alzheimer's.

[poignant music plays]

Not Miss Jean?

-[Sheila] I wanted to tell you in person.
-[Dianne sighs]

I've adapted to it, I guess.

But it's so hard

watching her not remember me.

-[Roselyn] Mm-mm.
-And so…

I take a lot of pictures…
[chuckles tearfully]

…so that I will… remember.

[Roselyn] Hmm.

Is that something you're worried about?

Kinda.

I mean…

you never know what could happen.

Hey.

You know, aging makes you think
about everything, right? Just like…

-Taking care of our parents.
-Yeah.

-Life insurance. Wills.
-[Sheila] Yeah.

-Kids. Shit, fiber.
-[laughs]

And you know I'm thinking about fiber.

[Roselyn] Mmm.

-I mean, this is a challenge.
-[Roselyn] Mmm.

Sheila, we've always taken care
of each other.

I know.

-You hear me?
-[Sheila] Yeah.

And we are here for you.

-Right.
-[Angela] You know that, right?

-[Sheila] I do.
-Okay.

I really do.

-We have to make a pact.
-Yes.

-Yeah?
-Yep.

That we will lean towards joy.

Absolutely.

[Dianne laughs] I love it.

[girl moaning]

-Oh, Marcus Jr!
-The door was locked!

[Angela] Are you out of your damn mind?

If you don't get some damn clothes
on your nasty ass…

-I don't give a damn! Get your ass out!
-[Regina] Sorry.

[Angela] I'm gonna kick your ass.

-Ma, why'd you come in?
-You gonna make me crash out.

-We was talking, you know?
-You wasn't talking. "You know?"

That's a damn lie, Marcus Jr.

I can't believe your little nasty ass
up in my house with that ho.

You're just like your damn daddy.

[door slams shut]

-Why didn't you have a bachelor party?
-Because, Uncle Mike, we decided not to.

Uh, did you decide?

-Or did you decide not to?
-[Terry] Mike.

[Mike chuckles] You just like your mama.

I tell you,
she didn't want you to have one either.

No. We both decided
to just go out tonight as one.

-[Mike] As one?
-As one.

-I don't even know what that means.
-Of course you don't.

-Where you been?
-Just on the phone.

-What's that smell?
-[Kenya] Okay!

Come on, let's hit this club
for the dual night out

before the wedding celebration.

Hey! Oh, a club. I wanna go. Daddy?

-Yeah? What?
-Yeah?

-What? No.
-What? We thought it was our kid.

-We got kids her age.
-Yeah, she said "daddy."

We hear "daddy," we think our daughters.

Mm-mm. Me. I'm Daddy. Okay?

Just… She talking to me.

All right. What are you saying?

I don't wanna sit around here by the fire
like I'm, like, 50 or something.

-Wow.
-[Regina] Can I get your credit card?

-Mine's over the limit.
-What did I tell you about oversharing?

-[Regina] All right.
-[Kenya] We'll see you guys later.

-Early flight in the morning.
-We know.

-And wear a light sweater, okay?
-[Kenya] Will do. Thanks, Mom.

-All right, let's go.
-Oh, you going?

You sound disappointed.

Why don't you let these young people
go out and have a good time?

Yeah, we got an early flight
in the morning.

Look. Hey, hey, hey, hey, now.

I don't need to take a nap
before we go out at 9 a.m., okay?

So y'all sitting around
like good old 50-year-olds, okay?

But me, I'm gonna get my groove on.
I'm young at heart.

Yeah, and that heart gonna need
a defibrillator.

[mocking] "My heart's gonna need…"
Let's go.

All right, be careful.
Who's the designated driver?

Oh, Uncle Mike.

Shit.

-I wanna drive.
-T.J. got it.

-T.J.
-T.J.

-Let's go change.
-[Terry] Have fun.

-Be careful.
-I know. I know.

-All right. Bye, Mom.
-Bye, baby.

[Troy] Be smart.

-Sure you don't wanna come, boy?
-No.

-We have some time.
-No.

[Mike] All right.

-Okay.
-Can y'all believe that fool is going?

-Yes. We can.
-Yes, we can.

What is that look for?

What… what happened?

Your son is just like you.

What did he do now?

Besides having sex with that girl
that Mike's ass brought here?

-[Dianne gasps]
-[intrigued] What?

-Uh!
-[sternly] What?

-[Dianne] Angela.
-[Angela] No, seriously, I promise you.

If it wasn't for my daughter's wedding,
I'd be telling Mike right now.

[Terry] Yeah, I'm glad
you have some restraint.

You should not tell him. Because he will
destroy your daughter's wedding.

You don't want that.
Ros doesn't. We're not gonna do that.

Yeah, but I'll tell you one thing.

Y'all better tell him
to get her ass out of here right now.

We got it. We got it. We… we will.

[sighs] Yeah.

I'm going to bed.

Don't… don't.

[Angela] Marcus!

[Marcus] I'm gonna hear about this
all night.

-Damn.
-[Terry] Wow.

-Ugh.
-[laughs]

[hip-hop music playing]

[cheering]

We popping bottles! Yeah!

-[Regina hollers indistinctly]
-[Mike] Whoo!

Yeah!

All right, look, look, look, look.

This right here,
this is gonna be to Uncle Mike.

His new haircut.

If you can keep up.

What you talking about?
Who you talking to?

I taught your daddy how to drink
and your mama to shut up.

-Uncle Mike.
-Okay. Uncle Mike…

-[Mike] Y'all know she loud. Stop.
-Uncle Michael, I think you had enough.

[Mike] What? Oh, what?

It's not good if you've had cancer
to drink so much alcohol.

T.J., I love you, all right?

But, please, you got a bitch-ass drink
like your bitch-ass daddy.

-[Jasmine] Uncle Mike!
-Hey!

I'm telling him… I'm telling him because
I think he has non-bitchal potential.

-Okay, all right. All right.
-Look at all these women.

I meant that in a good way.
I meant that in a good way.

Look, I'm trying to help you out, nephew.
Get out there, baby. Have some fun.

-To Uncle Mike?
-[Mike] Have fun!

Okay, cheers. Cheers. Let's do this.

-Hey!
-To my wedding! To my wedding!

-[cheering]
-[Mike] That's right.

[clock ticking]

He is just like you, Marcus.

And I went through
the same damn thing with you

over and over again in this house.

Look, baby. He didn't cheat on anybody.
I can't say the same for Regina.

And I never did anything in this house.

I'm not talking about in this house, okay?

I'm talking about him.

[Marcus sighs]

All of this shit is coming back to me.

You said you forgave me,
but it seems like the gun is still loaded.

[Angela] I forgave you.

I did not forget.

You put me through a lot of shit, Marcus.

Yeah, you put me
through a lot of shit too.

I'm just gonna sit here,
and I'm just gonna listen. Right.

He can't ruin Jasmine's wedding. He can't.

And thank God Wesley wasn't stupid enough
to have a damn bachelor party.

Do you remember what you did
at your bachelor party, Marcus?

Or should I say, "who you did"?

You mean, like, 28 years ago?

No, 29 years, five months and three days.
Do you want the hours too?

You see that? That don't sound
like forgiveness right there.

Do you remember Keisha, huh?
You remember Keisha, Marcus?

It is in his DNA, Marcus.

[women laughing]

-Hey, what's wrong with you?
-What is going on?

She's evil, but I love her.

-Where are the guys?
-[Dianne] The pool.

-Pool.
-Go, let it out.

-[Roselyn] So…
-[Sheila laughs]

See, they still fussing.

-[Dianne] She says they're doing better.
-What? Better? Oh my God.

She told me…

Girl, are y'all still arguing like that?

No, we're not arguing.
But just sometimes he just gets on my…

[Roselyn] I get it.

[Sheila] Uh…

It's… I know. We saved you some wine.

-[Roselyn] Mm-hmm.
-Girl, please, I need a bottle.

-[women laugh]
-Okay? Men.

-Don't get me started.
-No. Stop.

-Terry's a good man.
-Yes, he is.

No, he is. He is a good man,
and so is Troy.

Yeah. Yeah, but they're still men.

-So we're always gonna have issues.
-That's a fact.

Oh, and not to mention
raising a man-child, Lord.

-Yeah.
-[Dianne] Hmm.

You okay?

Oh, you talking about that dig
my son took at me at the table?

Yeah, we're so sorry.

Child, nobody thinking about Wesley.

He just idolizes his father.
You know, he can do no wrong in his eyes.

And, of course, I'm the villain
for divorcing his raggedy ass.

I just take it.

Girl, all the shit he did?

You're a saint, Ros.

What's the point in me ruining his image
that he has of his father, hmm?

So, y'all's kids know
everything y'all went through?

No. That's why they was giving
that silly little toast.

Look, I don't mind being
the… the… the villain in my son's story,

as long as he's protected.

I love my kid that much.

Plus, I met somebody new.

-[Dianne gasps]
-That's right. And we have…

I've moved on, and we are happy,
and things are good.

Really?

-Whoa.
-Well, I gotta hear about this.

Mmm. He is wise. He is so sure of himself.

If Michael's ass could come in here
with a damn toddler,

then guess what, honey?

We should all be happy
with a grown-ass man, right?

Remember, Ros, what you used to say
about the unhealed child?

Yeah, I don't have time to be dealing
with nobody's unhealed child.

I need a grown man.

Yeah. Honestly, I mean,
everyone should want somebody grown.

You are right
to take your slow-as-molasses time

'cause after you had your heart broken,

you could fall prey
to one of those monsters.

Hmm?

Yeah. O… okay, all right.

[chuckles]

-What?
-It's Mike.

He's in trouble,
needs us to come get him. Let's go.

But the kids are okay, though?

Yeah, they're fine. They're fine.
It's just Mike. Come on, man.

-I ain't even surprised.
-[Terry] You coming, Troy?

-You know I ain't going.
-[Terry] I didn't think so. Shit.

[door closes]

[knock on door]

Come in.

Hey, is, uh… is Terry here?

No, he's still with the guys. What's up?
Are you okay?

[door closes]

No, no, I've been holding on to something,
and I just c…

I really don't wanna hold onto it anymore.

Can we just… Can we take a ride?
Can we go somewhere?

Okay, you're scaring me.

I'm okay. I am.

Well, do you want me
to get Angela and Roselyn?

No. No, don't do that.
And you can't tell anybody.

Sheila.

Come on.

-Okay. Let me go get dressed.
-Come on.

[dance music playing]

-Damn.
-Remember these days?

-Man, I don't miss them at all.
-Huh.

This is loud.

Yeah.

Oh. Look at that.

-What?
-Him.

[Terry] You think he knows
how bad this looks?

I don't think he cares.

-[Dianne] Why are we here? I…
-What?

I was in that car for 20 minutes,
not saying anything. What is going on?

Why are we here?

Dianne, Jasmine, she called me,

and Wesley was screaming
at the top of his lungs at her.

What are you saying to me?
Is he abusing her?

That's the first thing I asked her,
and… and she said no, but…

[Dianne] Okay, what…

We… we have to tell Angela.

Uh… [hesitates]

Do you remember how it was
when Marcus and Angela were engaged?

-This is different.
-[Sheila] How's it different?

The reason she came to me is because
she knows that Angela would lose it.

I gotta keep her confidence, Dianne.

All right, well,
let's… let's, uh… let's find them, okay?

[dance music playing]

-[Marcus] Mike.
-[Terry] Mike.

-What? Hey!
-[Terry] Get up!

-Come on. Get up.
-I'm glad to see y'all.

Hey. Come on, now.

What are you doing, man?
What you doing in here?

Hey. What? Look, I'm free.

Getting married and having kids
makes your ass old.

Come on, I wasn't gonna spend
my weekends in… in Costcos and Home Depot

after my cancer battle, man.

We like Costco and Home Depot.
That's what you do at our age.

Whatever. I'm gonna live my life. Okay?

All right. All right. Can we go?
Let's get out of here.

Come on. One foot in front of the other.

[man] This nigga ain't going nowhere
till we get paid.

Cash or credit?

Oh, that… Well, this…
Boy, he got me, man. He got me.

-What? You want me to pay it?
-Yeah, baby. I'm not gonna be…

What's this bill, man?

$47,000?! What the hell?

What did you drink, man?
Did Jesus make the wine?

No, you know I got you.

My card was over the limit. It's all good.

Yeah, in more ways than one.
I'll get it on the way out. Let's go.

-All right. Yeah.
-[Terry] Let's get out of here. Come on.

-Move your legs.
-Let's go. Come on, man.

-Kenya.
-We gotta go. Mom, what you doing here?

-Where is she?
-It's fine. She's okay.

Everything's not fine. Where's Jasmine?
Take us to her right now.

-Okay, she's back there.
-[Dianne] Okay.

[Kenya sighs]

-Just please don't freak out, okay?
-[Sheila] Freak out? For what?

-[Kenya] It's not that big a deal.
-[Wesley] I'm doing my best.

-Wesley, I'm serious!
-This is what you do? I'm giving my best!

What the hell is going on?

Auntie Sheila!
You weren't supposed to tell anyone.

What do you want me to do?
Did you hit her?

What? No.
You got them thinking I did that?

I promise it's not like that.

-Damn, Jasmine.
-Let me explain something to you.

-Auntie Sheila, please just stop.
-We love this girl.

But if her daddy finds out

that you've been abusive to her
in any way,

your body will be in a river somewhere.
Do you get that?

-I didn't--
-[Sheila] I'm trying to save your life!

[Wesley] I didn't do anything to her.

I promise you.

Auntie Sheila, please just let him go.

All right, Sheila.

[Jasmine] Just let him go.

Let him go.

Wesley.

I'm sorry.

-Are you afraid of him?
-No.

Really, it's not like that.
Look, he's not abusive. Kenya, please.

I know. No, like, Mom,
she is telling the truth.

I know everything, okay?
He's not abusing her.

Listen, there are so many ways
to be abusive.

It's levels to this shit. You understand?

Just please, don't tell my parents.

Jasmine, you're putting us
in a horrible position. Do you understand?

[Dianne sighs]

I'm sorry.

[Kenya] Hon, come on, let's go. Okay.

[Jasmine] Sorry.

-Hey. Be careful.
-[Kenya] We will.

All right, hey. Hey, hey. Just breathe.

[Sheila sighs]

Breathe, okay?

I cannot believe
I just grabbed him like that.

I just… I was thinking about Mike.

Dianne, I was thinking about Mike.

I know. I know.

Ugh!

What are we supposed to do?

Are we supposed to just get on a plane
and go to Italy

and let them get married
and not tell her parents?

-Is that what we're supposed to do?
-[Dianne] Okay, listen.

We didn't see anything.

And she says nothing happened,
that he didn't do it.

So this is all an assumption, all right?

And the worst part is,
I don't know what to do.

Come on, let's go.

-Oh God.
-It's okay.

-I'm so embarrassed.
-[Dianne] No, don't be embarrassed.

-All right. Yeah, I got you.
-Don't step on me.

Why are we leaving?

-Come on. You gotta… Yep.
-Hold on, man. Hold on.

-Give me the key.
-Hey.

Hey. What are you…
what are you doing here?

Just making sure
the kids don't drive home drunk.

-They good?
-Where are they?

-[Dianne] They good. In there.
-Yup, they're… they're good.

[Marcus] Hmm.

-Okay.
-Uh-huh.

[Terry] Yeah, let's, uh…
let's get him home. Hey.

-Come on.
-Come on, you.

Hey, Sheila. All right.
All right, all right, I'm coming.

-Tell me what's going on. Excuse me.
-Watch out.

[Terry] Excuse me.
Old man coming through, old-ass man.

-Come on, now.
-Sorry.

["A Universe" by Jill Scott playing]

-[sighs]
-[Troy] She looks great.

Yeah.

[Troy] So, um…

what was going on earlier
at the club with you and everybody?

Actually,

it was about… time.

I don't want those kids
to waste their time.

It goes by so fast. It's so precious.

I know I don't want
to waste another moment.

Oh. We won't.

[sighs]

We're, um, collecting moments
all the time, right?

Yeah.

-[music ends]
-Dianne, is this boy hitting her?

She swears he's not. But what do we do?

All right. H… here's what I'll do.

I'm going to talk to this kid
in the morning.

If I don't like his answers,
I'm going straight to Marcus

and telling him everything.

I know you think that's a bad idea.
But let me tell you why it's not.

If it were one of us, we would wanna know.

And if they find out and know
that you know and Sheila knows--

I know, but you're sensible.
You're reasonable.

You know, I could set time by you.

Marcus? [scoffs] Marcus would explode.

[water running]

So, what's with these digs
about me being predictable?

-[water stops]
-It's not a dig.

You're just like a clock I can count on.

[water running]

[knocking]

Yeah?

You all packed?

Well, yeah. Come in.

Have you all spoken to my mom or dad?

No. But this feels awful. Do you realize
the position you put us in?

You know your mother will be furious

if she finds out
we knew something that she didn't know.

You know, I'm more like my mom
than you know.

I wouldn't let him hit or abuse me.

Just trust me.

I love him.

And he loves me.

Look, I know we're not you guys,

but we're working on getting there.

[Sheila] Oh, Jazzy,
I don't like this, honey.

You gotta promise me,

if anything changes,
I'll be the first person you call.

Call me, okay?

I promise.

We love you.

-Hmm.
-I love you too.

-I love you.
-[Sheila] I know. I know.

Love you.

-[Dianne] Have your dad come get these.
-[Kenya] Okay. Yeah.

Thank you.

-Oh my God.
-[Dianne sighs]

Do you remember how much
you and Angela talked to me about Mike

and me getting away from him?

You know, she's not gonna change anything
until she's ready.

At least she has Kenya.

Like I had you three.

Well, let's get ready for this wedding.

Italy or bust.

-[Dianne chuckles]
-[Sheila sighs]

[dreamy Italian music playing]

[indistinct chattering]

Ah!

-Oh my gosh. You look…
-[Denver] Mama! Where you at?

[Jasmine chuckles]

[Marcus Jr] I don't know nothing.
It's all good.

Uh, good morning.

Do me a favor.
When you see my dad, be nice to him.

-I'm always nice to your father.
-[Wesley] Yeah, sounds good.

You know you don't need to come.
I can send you pictures.

I'm only gonna take
so much disrespect from you, Wesley.

-Dad took a lot more from you.
-Boy… [scoffs]

-Hey, Mom. Ma.
-[Angela] Right. It was…

-[record scratches]
-[music stops]

Good morning.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Yeah, we could just… we could talk later.

-[music resumes]
-[camera clicks]

All right. I'll just… Excuse me.

-I promise you.
-[Dianne] Just get in there.

Morning.

-Morning.
-Morning.

-[Angela] You see Marcus Jr?
-[Dianne] Yeah.

Trying to say hi like that.

Hey, uh, when we get a moment,
I wanna talk to you.

-Absolutely.
-Yeah.

Is everything okay, Dad?

Yeah, it's fine.

[Italian music continues]

-[stewardess] Champagne?
-Oh… Thank you.

[stewardess] Enjoy.

[Mike] Hey, you know something?
Can I get another one?

-'Cause we're about to turn Italy out!
-Hell yeah!

Can you just shut up?

I know Loudness
is not telling somebody to shut up.

-Oh my…
-My gosh.

Hey. Sheila. Sheila, Sheila, Sheila.

[chuckles]

Ah, yeah, this is bringing back
some sweet memories.

Us on the plane.

Aw, damn. I made you drive, didn't I?

Hmm.

But, hey, it… [chuckles]
…turned out for the best, right?

Hmm?

I mean, and you looking good, girl.
All right? Considering--

[Sheila] You know what?

-No. What? Oh, come on.
-Come here. Here, sweetheart.

Bye, Sheila. Boo-hoo.

Take my seat. Here, babe.

-Okay. Daddy, stop it. Sit down.
-What? I'm just--

-We just wanna have a good time.
-I said she look nice. What am I gonna do?

Yeah, you wanna have a good time, huh?
Riding planes and mans and boys.

-Oh. Okay, come on.
-I'm…

-Angela.
-Dianne.

I know.

-If you ruin my wedding…
-[Marcus Jr] I didn't do anything.

You and Wes aren't getting along.
So why y'all getting married, huh?

-How'd I get stuck with you as a brother?
-Wait, I'm sorry. He slept with Regina?

-[Denver] Sh!
-Sh!

Don't say that too loud.
Uncle Mike is right there.

[camera shutter clicks]

-Oh my God.
-What are you doing?

-Shit.
-[T.J.] Ew.

You kidding me? You taking dick pics?
Oh, wait till I tell Daddy.

Twenty-five times zoom?

Look, shut up. All right? Go to hell.

Matter of fact, impress me
by approaching a girl. Can you do that?

-Leave my brother alone.
-[Marcus Jr] Oh, I'm sorry, Kenya.

And where's your man?
Oh, that's right. Kyle dumped you.

-So did Asher. So did--
-[Jasmine] Marcus!

Marcus, stop!

Ain't none of y'all here
got room to judge me, all right?

Only God can judge me.

Yo, isn't that a lyric to a rap song?

No, I wrote it.

Marcus, the bathroom is that way.

Why is he going to first class?

[phone dings]

[Marcus sniffles]

Where you going?

-To the bathroom.
-[Angela] Mmm.

Babe, what are you doing?

-It's that way.
-The first-class bathroom is right there.

Yeah, well, you a second-class ho,
so it's back there.

Get your ass to the back.
And I suggest you move quick.

-Yes, ma'am.
-[Angela] I got your "ma'am."

Babe?

[Marcus Jr] Ah! Come… Ma!

[Angela] I'mma kick your ass, Marcus Jr.
You wanna be sexy, huh?

You want to sit your little ass
up in this bathroom

with your little zipper unzipped, right?

I will take that zipper,
I will zip up them little-ass balls,

and you won't have a little-ass Marcus.

[romantic guitar music playing]

[Sheila] There we go! Coming!

-Wow.
-[women squeal]

Oh. [chuckles]

-[Sheila] Oh.
-[Terry] Yes, yes!

[indistinct chatter]

[Dianne] Look at that view.
That clean lake.

Oh, this is gorgeous, Ros.
You did it like this?

Absolutely.

Look, for my only son
and your only daughter,

I had to do it big.

-This is one of my favorite places.
-I love it. [chuckles]

-Oh, wait. I gotta get my jewelry bag.
-Okay.

-[Kenya] I'm so excited.
-[Angela chuckles]

-Welcome to Villa Pizzo.
-Thank you.

We have all of your rooms ready
with lake views.

-You're gonna love it.
-[Marcus Jr] Lake views.

I would say so.

Buongiorno.

Uh, wait, let me guess.

You must be Angela and Marcus.

Terry, Dianne.

Troy and Sheila.

I've heard so much about you all.

[chuckles] You heard so much about us?
From… from who, baby?

-Are you friends of our kids?
-[Sheila] Yeah.

-[T.J.] I don't know him. Nope.
-Don't know him, never saw him.

I'm here to surprise my girlfriend.
Oh, there she is.

What?

I don't know him.

[curious music playing]

-[man] Hey, baby.
-Hi.

Uh, what are you doing here?

My classes finished early,
so I wanted to surprise you.

I know how important your friends are.
I finally wanted to meet them in person.

Thank you.

Well, uh, hi. I'm Angela, and, uh…
Oh, you already know that.

-[man] Uh, yeah.
-Okay.

-Uh, I'm Nick.
-Oh. Hi, Nick.

-[Mike] Nick.
-Nick.

Oh. [chuckles] I'm Mike.

Whoa.

Oh, I'm not even gonna pretend
to know what that means.

I'm just… I'm sorry, Nick. Did…
You said "class." What… How old are you?

-Well, yeah, I'm… I'm 27.
-[Roselyn] Oh God.

[Mike laughs] You…

That's the same age as my girl here.

Hey, ladies, would you like to tell
our young friend Nick here

what you were saying about older men
being with younger women

and how we should act our age, and…

I think he would love to hear this.

I was wondering why you were so quiet.
'Cause you got a young buck here.

Speaking of quieter,
how about we go inside?

-Yeah, let's just head inside.
-[Mike] We should have a conversation.

-No, this way. You go this way.
-[Mike] I think you missed a button, Nick.

-[Terry] We're going in.
-[Mike] Looking good, Nick.

-[Terry] Thank you.
-[Angela] Marcus Jr., get your ass in…

-[Mike] I'm the cradle robber, right?
-[Terry] No, no, no. See… Just stop it.

-Just stop it.
-Look, all I'm saying is, come on.

-Come on. Monsieur, Champagne.
-This is even more beautiful.

-Look at this.
-[Terry] Italy speaks Italian.

-I'll get your keys?
-[Terry] Yes.

-[Angela chuckles]
-Very nice.

-You okay, baby?
-Yeah.

I love your denim.

-Thank you. [chuckles]
-[Nick] It's cute.

Hey, Wesley.

I know damn well
you didn't invite him here.

I don't want you here.

Yep. See, I bet my dad won't come now.
I bet he won't.

-Can we not do this right here?
-Oh, okay.

-Wesley.
-What?

-Relax.
-[Wesley] Okay.

You know what?
Y'all know who this is, right?

No. Who is it? Why don't you tell us?

Son, maybe we can
talk about this in private

and not in the lobby of a hotel,
you think?

Thank you, Terry.

[Mike] No, let the young man speak.

You done?

This was my damn tutor.

From middle school.

-[laughs] Damn.
-[Wesley] From middle school, Ma!

-[Dianne] Wesley, you're yelling.
-He's barely older than me!

[Mike laughing]

[Terry] Mike.

We just talked about, "I'mma be nice.
I'mma respect Pops." This how you do us?

You know what? Where's my damn room at?

["I'm Still Here" by The Notations plays]

♪ I'm still here… ♪

Yo. Our room… We'd like to…
Can you show us our rooms, please?

-Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
-♪ After telling you ♪

-♪ "So long"♪
-[door opens]

[Roselyn] Thanks.

♪ I'm still here, baby ♪

♪ After saying… ♪

[sighs]

-[Nick] Baby?
-[music fades out]

Baby.

I'm sorry, babe. I know you're mad.

Did I make a mistake by coming here?

You told me you talked to him about us,
so I figured it would be okay.

I just told him, Nick.
I just told him right before we left.

He… I didn't say
that he was happy about it.

[Nick] Shit.

I didn't say anything. [sighs]

-[Nick] Okay.
-[Roselyn sighs]

I really did miss you.

I didn't want you here alone,
especially with his father being here--

He's not coming, Nick.

-Well, I… I didn't know that.
-Yeah.

-I'm sorry.
-I know. There's a lot you don't know.

It's… Look, it's fine.

I don't know, babe.
Baby, I don't think it is.

I can tell you're upset.

Your friends are upset.

[Roselyn] Mm-hmm.

Did you tell them about us?

I didn't get a chance to, Nick.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.

I see.

So we're back to that.

Look, Nick, okay, your timing
is not the best right now. Okay?

I just… I have a lot going on,

and it's… it's like you're adding to it.

Yeah. Is one of them
you being embarrassed by me?

No. You… you make more
of this age thing than I do.

Yeah, that's 'cause I want you
to understand that I don't care.

I love you.

Now is just not a good time, Nick.

It's never the right time
when we're talking about you, Ros.

Okay.

All right. I feel like you think
you're not being heard.

So I'm… I'm gonna sit here.

-Don't do that.
-I'm not gonna cut you off.

Don't do that, okay?
That's not gonna work for me today.

I came here because I thought
I was doing a good thing.

I wanted to be here for you.

[Nick sighs]

[sighs]

[somber music playing]

[door closes]

[groans]

So, I'm gonna go get this workout in.

[sighs] Come on, Angela,
we're in such a good place.

Why we gotta go through
all this old stuff?

Come on, baby. You know I'm a changed man.

Marcus, your son

was in the bathroom on the plane
waiting for that whore.

Now, who does that remind you of, Marcus?

Have you even talked to your son?

No, you haven't.

Better question.
What are you gonna say to him, Marcus?

No, seriously,
what are you gonna say to him?

Make this make sense.

The math ain't mathing, Marcus.

Make the math math, Marcus.

Say it. Tell me, what are you gonna say

when he keeps doing the same shit

that you've been doing
our entire marriage?

[Marcus sighs]

You know what? I'm just gonna go
get Terry to talk to him.

-[scoffs] Terry? Are you serious?
-[Angela] Yes. Yeah.

-What?
-Look at T.J.

-What? Look at T.J.
-[Angela] Look at him.

He's scared of his own shadow.
Is that what you want?

Look. Baby, listen.

I will talk to him, okay?

-I wanna know what you're gonna say.
-[groans]

Pop, she was at him all night at the club.
I told him not to do it.

And this is M.J. and Regina
we're talking about?

Yeah.

Okay. All right, y'all go work out.

Me and you are talking to your mother
after this workout about, you know…

-All right.
-[Marcus] All right?

-Yeah.
-You got it?

-All right.
-All right, let's go.

Yeah.

Angela's mad.

Yeah, Angela's always mad, man.
Shit. [chuckles]

Get this. She said
that she wanted you to talk to M.J.

You know, said that you could
tell him better than I could.

Like, what the hell?
You, of all people? [chuckles]

What the hell that supposed to mean?

Well, come on, T, you know…

I've had more sex than any man should.

And M.J., you know, he's… he's like me.

You know? Maybe he did
something a little stupid,

but, hey, just let him be a man.

Marcus, being a man
is not being in his daddy's house,

having sex with our friend's "girlfriend,"
or whatever that is.

That's not being a man.

He didn't force her.
Clearly Mike ain't putting it down right.

And, T, how about

you not making your son
so scared of sex that he never had it?

Do you know how many Black boys
get caught up in college for some lies?

I didn't want my son like that,
or your son.

I don't want anybody's son
being caught up in that.

And we don't even need to mention STIs.
Or do we?

Do you and I need to talk about STIs
and the shot that you had to get?

-What's up, ninjas?
-[Marcus] We gotta go there?

Ah, looks like I got here
right in time for the good stuff.

I couldn't help but overhear.

Terry, Marcus is telling you the truth.

[Terry] Oh, yeah.

Let me ask you something.
Where are your kids?

Oh, right. You don't have one,
so you're dating one.

Oh my goodness. Uh…

[laughs]

Looks like I hit a nerve.

Like Grandmama said,
a hit dog will holler.

[howls quietly]

The only dog that got hit
is the one that's on your head.

Terry, you need a hug or something, man?
What is up? Why are you jealous of me?

[Terry] Jealous? Did he say "jealous"?

-Jealous?
-[Marcus] I think he did.

I get it. I get it.
You're all the same age…

We all the same age, man.

By number only. Just… Mm.

So, I went to the doctor,
got my blood work done.

Biologically,

I'm 34.

34?

-[Mike] That's right, 34.
-Uh…

-Yo, man.
-[Marcus] Okay.

I can't do this shit.

Good, because nobody talking to you.
Go cut a tree or something.

This nigga. Look, hey.

I can hook you up with my guy.
He'll put you on some supplements.

Man, I'm telling you, I've been taking
these things, reversing my age.

Come on, man.
That's why my hair grew back.

-[laughs] I can't even do this right now.
-[Mike] Look.

-[Terry] What grew back?
-Terry?

-[Marcus] Oh my goodness.
-Come on, y'all hear this?

He said that's
why his hair grew back. [laughs]

-[Mike] Look, what is the issue? Terry--
-What?

Hey. What, you ain't getting none,
like your son?

Say one more word about my son.

-Testy, testy.
-One more.

My goodness.

Hey.

-[Mike] Baby, let's get this workout in.
-Okay.

[Mike] What y'all lifting?

[mellow mandolin music playing]

[Angela] Hey.

Uh, we're… we're having lunch.

Okay, we'll… we'll go for a walk.

Okay.

All right, bye.

What'd she say?

Said she's on a business call. She's mad.

We don't know that. We don't know that.

All that shit I've been saying about Mike,
and she's with him. [chuckles]

I mean, if men can do it,
she can do it too.

I just…
I should've kept my damn mouth shut.

-[Shelia laughs]
-You have never been able to do that.

Never. [laughs]

-He's coming over.
-[Angela] What?

Hi.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Can I sit for a second?

Sure.

[Nick] Thank you.

-[sighs] I have a question.
-[Angela and Dianne] Mmm.

Has Roselyn told you all about us?

Why do you ask?

You all seemed surprised to see me,
so I figured she hadn't.

Look, I heard what Mike said,

and I can't speak to that,

but I can tell you that

I love Roselyn.

Truly.

[all] Mmm.

And as amazing as she is,

she's not so sure when it comes to me.

I think it's because I'm younger.

[all] Mmm.

[chuckles] She's always telling me
to find someone my own age.

So it's made it pretty difficult
for me to, uh,

have her understand
that I truly do love her.

Any advice?

[all] Mm-mm.

Well, I do want you all to know that
I do truly love her with all my heart.

[all] Mmm.

And you all are very tight-lipped.

Really good friends. I can tell.

So, I'm gonna get out of your hair,
and I guess I'll see you all later?

Ciao.

Well, honey, he got swag.

And big D energy too.

Damn, y'all put
all that weight on there like that?

-What weight?
-[Wesley] Uh-huh.

-[Marcus Jr] Uncle Mike.
-That weight?

Come lift with us.

No. You do not want to lift with him.
He be blowing dudes away at the gym.

-Is that so?
-[Regina] Mm-hmm.

-Well, I gotta do what I gotta do.
-[Marcus Jr] Yeah, come on, Unc.

Yeah, don't sweat too much.

But all right, I might do
a little something-something.

Does he know
they're playing him for a fool?

[Terry] You can't tell him nothing.
You know that. Shit.

I'm rather enjoying it myself.

I'm gonna teach
these young bucks something.

[Troy] Yeah, that's right. Show them.

-[Regina] Come on, baby.
-[Marcus Jr] Go, Unc.

-[Troy] Show them.
-[Regina] Go on!

-No, leave him alone. Leave him alone.
-[Mike sighs]

[grunts]

-[Marcus Jr] You got it, Unc!
-Come on, baby!

This what you want?
This what you want, right?

Yeah, he's strong.

-[Denver] Oh shit.
-[screams]

[Marcus Jr] No, leave him.

-Unc, get it. Push!
-[Regina] Come on, baby.

[squeals]

-[Marcus Jr] Come on, Unc.
-[Mike] Get it!

[squeals]

Oh, get it. Get it!

[Marcus Jr] No, you got it. You got it.

-Come on.
-Shit.

-Shit! Help!
-Come on, Unc.

-Let them play. Leave them alone.
-[Denver] Come on. We got you.

[Regina] Damn.

Damn, I really thought
he could do it. My bad.

[grunts]

-You good, Unc?
-Oh!

[Wesley] Damn, boy.

-[laughter]
-Guys, don't laugh. That's not funny.

-[Wesley] The hell?
-[Mike] Regina, give me a fan.

God, hold on. What the hell going on?

-[Regina] I got you. I got you.
-[Marcus Jr] Hey, Regina.

-[boys laugh]
-[T.J.] He looks like my left nut.

You don't need a fan. You need a bucket.

[boys laughing]

Mike, I don't think the back of your head
knew it was supposed to grow back.

-I need to go lay down or something.
-All right. Come on.

[Mike] Oh my goodness. Whoo.

Can you pull it back a little bit?

[Marcus] Hey, why are you laughing,
young lady? That's not funny.

Trying to tell these oldheads
to stay in their place.

-He knew he couldn't lift this weight.
-Oh, so you're saying it's my set now?

Okay. Two more plates, both sides.

-Yeah.
-Let's go.

-Cool.
-[Marcus] My set.

-All you, Mr. Williams.
-My set.

All right, come on.

[Terry] Stupid.

-He got it.
-This is stupid.

He can do it.

[Marcus clears throat]

That's right.

[Denver] Oh.

Hey.

-[Denver] Oh.
-Damn.

[grunts]

Your set.

-My set, huh?
-[Marcus] Mm-hmm.

Nothing. Light work to me.

-Go ahead.
-[Terry] Do it.

Let's go, baby.

You know how much that is?
You know how much weight that is?

[Denver] Boss, you got it.

-And…
-Let's go. Let's go.

-Come on, Wesley. Come on.
-[grunts]

Hold on, I got it. I got it.

[grunts]

The oldheads ain't gonna help you.

-[Marcus Jr] Shit, boy, you scared me.
-[Marcus] What happened?

Hmm?

-Next time, show some respect.
-You heard him.

-Pulled your arm out of the socket?
-Yeah, I need you to pop it back in.

I ain't doing shit.

[Sheila] She's good.

-[door opens]
-Thank you so much.

[door closes]

Um… I'll call you later, okay?

What's up, babe?

I know these folks are my friends now too,
and I love them.

-But if I gotta keep dealing with Mike…
-Oh God, what did he do now?

-Just keeps saying stupid shit.
-[Sheila] Okay, look.

Honey,

I know that you put up with him
for Jasmine's wedding.

Can you just hang in there
a few more days? Please?

You know I can't resist you
when you give me that look.

[Sheila laughs]

[Roselyn] Isn't it amazing in life how

there can be so much drama
and beauty at the same time?

[Dianne] Mmm.

What you talking about, Nick?

No, I'll get to Nick.

Look, y'all, I wasn't on a business call.
Okay? I was dealing with Wesley's father.

[chuckles]

Do you know he blew through
all that money I paid him in the divorce?

-On drugs and whores.
-That was a lot.

-Yeah.
-That's a lot of whores.

Right.

And he was trying to guilt me
into flying him here for the wedding.

-Are you kidding me?
-Girl, I wish I was.

You are not gonna fly him here.

Hell, no, I'm not gonna fly him here.

But Wesley's going to be upset,

and he's gonna find a way
to blame me for his father's shortcomings.

Wesley already seems
like he's disappointed.

I know we haven't seen each other
in a long time.

That, and you may have picked up by now
that my son has some anger issues.

We've been dealing with them for a while.

Well, I have.

Well, has, uh… has… has he had therapy?

Mm-mm. No.

Maybe he should.

You think I haven't tried
to put my son in therapy,

as much therapy as I've had?

Wesley is a good kid, okay? He just…

I just think he just wants
to make me suffer.

He just doesn't wanna see me happy.

Oh, and for the record,

I had no idea
that he was Wesley's middle school tutor.

You know how long ago that was?

Harvey was on drop-off duty.
I was working my ass off.

I told Wesley about Nick
right before we came here.

He didn't take it too well.

[Sheila scoffs]

As far as him being young…
he's a grown-ass man.

So I don't care.

But what's up, though?
I mean, you having fun?

Are you happy?

[poignant music playing]

Well, I'll say I was in a funk
for a long time.

You know, 'cause I expected
my marriage to last.

[Sheila] Mmm.

And all the shit I did…
to put that man in rehab

so that my son could have a father,
trying to keep the family together.

What was wrong with me?

Why did I choose
to ignore all the red flags

and everything inside of me?

I mean, was I that desperate
to have someone?

Girl, we were young.

We all have been that desperate, trust me.

You just have to

give your younger self some grace.

Because believe me, I get it.

[Roselyn chuckles]

In a perfect world, I would let go.

I would let myself go,
and I would fall head over heels for Nick.

But it's not a perfect world, right?

I just… I finally found
that woman that I ignored.

And I'm just so scared
to hold on to something

that is not gonna make me stronger.

You know, I found myself.

I found freedom.

And peace.

And there's power in that, you know?

But then Nick comes along, you know?

With his fine ass. [chuckles]

-He's fine.
-I ain't gonna lie.

I mean, I just said, "What the hell?"
You know?

I don't know. Sometimes I'm like,
"Where did you come from?"

And the things that he says sometimes
are so perfect.

I'm like, "How do you know all this
at this young age?" [chuckles]

And then I'm left wondering like,
"God, did you send me this man?"

Or is this Satan's good old work?

You know, testing me to see
if I learned my lesson from the last time.

We… I know we just… we just met this guy,

but he doesn't seem
anything like Harvey's ass.

Well, Harvey wasn't Harvey
when I first met him.

The man had dreams, ambitions, and hopes,
but he lost them.

Yeah.

People change.

I'm not worried about who Nick is now.
I like him now.

-But who will he be in a few years?
-Yeah.

We can't ignore that age gap.
That is real, okay?

-These are the best years of my life.
-Come on.

And…

I'm not willing to risk my peace
for anyone, not even Nick.

-But you wanna be happy, right?
-Yes. I do. I do, but--

So that means you're gonna have to
deal with some bullshit sometimes.

And it could all work out.

Give it a chance. He seems great.

People are complicated.

Relationships are complicated.

Rozzy, think about all the heartbreaks
you've been through

and made it through.

All of us.

We have to… trust

our ability to heal.

-[Sheila laughs]
-[Roselyn] I missed y'all. I missed y'all.

You see, son,
you gotta have more respect for yourself.

Now, some people
would call that self-respect.

Uh…

See, you… you can't be sleeping
with all these dime pieces, you know?

-I know it's tempting.
-True.

-But you gotta--
-[Angela] Marcus!

Yeah… What? Yeah.
Right. Right. Right. Look, it's…

It's wrong.

It's… it's wrong, and just don't do it.

-Okay? You know what I'm saying.
-Yeah.

-I know.
-You understand. Right? Now bring it in.

-All right.
-All right.

-I'm gonna see y'all at the rehearsal.
-Yeah.

-[Marcus Jr] Ma, I like the dress.
-[Marcus] All right.

[sighs]

How was that?

You didn't say shit.
All you said was, "Don't do it."

Now, what's gonna make him stop, Marcus?

The right woman.

Just like you made me stop.

Old age made you stop, nigga, so stop.

No. My love for you made me stop.
I could still pull--

-Oh, what? What?
-What?

-You could still what? What?
-Nothing.

Look, baby, we gotta let Marcus Jr.
make his own mistakes

and find his own way.

He'll find a you.

-Your sweet-talking ain't working.
-[Marcus] Hmm.

Well, I'm not trying to gas you up.
I'm just telling you the truth.

[whispers] It's working.

[Dianne sighs]

Babe, can you zip me up?

Terry? What's wrong?

Oh, um…

Um…

-There you go.
-Okay.

[Terry] Babe…

[sighs]

Mike and Marcus said some things
that really bothered me

about how we raised T.J.

What? Oh, I know they're not
talking about us when Marcus Jr. is--

I… I get it,

but sometimes I think I went too far
in just teaching him to be careful.

-He's awkward with women--
-Stop it. What? Stop.

We did a great job raising our kids, okay?

And I know that Marcus and Mike
can't stand in judgment on that.

Especially Mike.

I get it. I get it.
You're right. You're right.

-Okay, let's go downstairs.
-Okay.

-Get that out of your head.
-All right.

-That's ridiculous.
-All right.

I'm gonna head back.
I got a flight that I can get at 11:00.

Okay, um, I'll just tell them
that you had to leave

because something came up.

Just like that?

Nick, I gotta get downstairs.
It's my son's wedding rehearsal.

A son that doesn't want you here.

[Roselyn sighs]

I came here for you.

I found the money to get a ticket
so that I could show up for you

because I know what
that bastard of a husband did to you

and how your son treats you.

So I wanted to show up
for the woman I love,

let her know what support feels like.

But damn, Ros,

if you don't wanna love me back,
then fine,

but this shit right here
is gonna get you your wish.

You ain't got nothing to say?

I don't get it.

One day, you're all over me. I'm your man.

And then the next day, you're cold as ice.
Your son's yelling at me.

Your friends don't even know
who the hell I am.

I'm out here looking crazy for you.

[Roselyn sighs]

[Nick] Now, if I made a mistake
by coming here,

I need you to look at me in my eyes
right now and tell me.

Tell me that I made a mistake coming
and that you want me to leave.

I just wanna hear you say it, Ros.

-Say it!
-Okay…

Say I made a mistake
and you want me to leave.

Okay, you made a mistake.

This… Coming here wasn't a good decision,

and I need you to leave.

Okay.

I'll see you, then.

Yeah. [sighs]

[poignant music playing]

[shower running]

[phone dings]

[Mike sighs]

[curious music playing]

[phone dings, buzzes]

[shower stops]

[sighs]

And the bride will stand here,
and the groom will be here.

And you will come down the stairs,
and that will end reception.

And the cake will be on top.
It's going to be spectacular.

-Now, when the music starts, the pair--
-Yeah, yeah. We all get it, honey.

All right, prego. Prego. Prego.

All right. No, no, no, I got a toast.
I got a toast.

-Get up there.
-[Terry] What the hell is he doing?

-Somebody get the mic.
-[Terry] Just hold on, Angela.

Just make the toast and get out the way.
You been drinking--

Okay, me and my sweet,
loyal girlfriend here,

we were having a heart-to-heart…

Why don't you stop being an asshole,
get your girl, and get outta here?

-Quiet. Just be happy with my leftovers.
-[Roselyn] Really?

-What are you doing?
-You're wasting my money.

[Mike] Hey, hey, hey.

And, Jasmine and M.J.,

you are just like your parents.

You think they're perfect,
but they're not.

My girl says the other night when you guys
were over there at the nightclub…

-Uncle Mike?
-…with me, spending my money… Whoa.

…she saw Wesley manhandling Jasmine.

-What?
-[Roselyn] He wouldn't! Did you?

-Wait, what are you…
-[Marcus] Oh, hey. Hey!

Hey! Hey! Everybody, stop! Wait. Wait.

What is he talking about?

Yeah, uh, Sheila, Dianne,
what am I talking about?

Y'all know about this?

-Angela, if we could just explain.
-[Jasmine] Dad.

Did you manhandle my daughter?

You better answer me.

-[Roselyn] He better not touch him.
-[Denver] Oh!

I told you not to touch my son!

-[Dianne] Stop.
-[Terry] No! Wait.

-He's a kid.
-I can handle him.

-Dad, stop it.
-Baby, wait. I didn't do--

-Wait! Stop! No! Stop!
-[Angela] Did he do something to you?

-Do you hear me?
-Okay. Okay.

Look…

Before Wesley asked me to marry him,
he cheated on me.

-And… Dad.
-[Troy] Chill.

And I just wanted to get even,
so I cheated.

Look, we were working things out,

but then I got a STD.

I got a shot to cure it.
I just didn't tell him right away.

[Mike] Tell this woman how Terry had to
give you a shot because you had VD.

Oh, so you got VD?

[Marcus] Angela,
let's discuss this in private.

[Angela] How long have you had it?

A week.

Was it Keisha?

No, you didn't get it from her.
You got it from Walter.

I slept with him.

I got a shot. I was just waiting
for you to say something. Boom.

[Jasmine] When I finally told him,

I was holding him,
and he just pushed me away from him.

-That's it.
-[laughs] This is…

Why's she just like you?
He's like him, and she's like you.

This is… Come on, man.
You can't make this type of stuff up.

Talking about this wash, rinse, repeat.
I mean, my goodness.

-Let me kick his ass.
-Whoa. Hey.

Man, calm down, man. Terry, I can't wait
to see what happens with your kid.

-[Marcus Jr] Damn!
-[Kenya] Dad!

Damn.

Everybody calm down.

[poignant music playing]

[Dianne sighs]

I've been looking for you.

Well… I was not expecting that.

Was that spontaneous enough for you?

Indeed. [chuckles]

Is he hurt?

Just his ego.

[Terry] I know. I know, Sheila. I know.

That's why I'm having a drink now.

I'll have double what he's having.

-Terry!
-Shit.

-[Mike] Terry! Look here.
-What?

First of all, you punch like a girl,
but, hey, I forgive you, all right?

You tell that little nigga M.J.
I'm gonna beat his ass when I find him.

He better help Regina
get her ass home, all right?

I'm outta here, bitches.

About damn time.

[chuckles]

Let him go.

We just should've told them.

It is done now.

Well, where are they?

Can we just… can we just go
to their room and talk to them?

[knocking on door]

[Marcus sighs]

Come in.

You should've told me.

[Sheila] Angela…

I didn't tell you because

Jasmine asked me not to.

I just thought about…

About me not wanting to tell my parents

about all the problems
that Marcus and I were having.

Exactly.

[Angela] I don't like it,

but I know why you did it.

We know. And we're very sorry.

Don't keep secrets from us.

No. Oh, we never will again.

But shit.

Oh my goodness.

God, that's the same…

-Just like us.
-Damn!

-Just like us.
-[Angela] It's the same damn thing.

-The shot?
-Good God. That's ridiculous.

I mean, are all our kids just like us?

Well, there's one way to make them

a better version of us for sure.

Okay, um… first, Marcus, I really believe
you need to apologize to that kid.

[Marcus] Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Why do I feel like shit
for hitting that kid?

Look, I've been thinking about this.
I wasn't gonna tell you.

I just want you to know.

I think that him being on your record
and you having such a problem with that,

that ain't about that record.

I know that's a source of pride for you,

but I think it's about him
replacing you in your daughter's life

and you not wanting your daughter
to marry a version of you.

But this violence thing and hitting him,
man, that… that ain't the answer.

Yeah. But wait… wait a minute.
Didn't you just knock out Mike?

I knocked him the fuck out.

-Yes, you did.
-That's supposed to be my job.

All right. You got him last time.
I just… I just… felt that thing.

-Loved it.
-That was a good hit, Terry.

Come on, let's go get these…
get these kids straight, man.

-Come on.
-Okay. All right.

-I love you. Come on.
-Love you too.

-Thanks, guys.
-Come on.

Where are they, you think?

Keep putting pressure. It's okay.

-T.J., that's clearly what he's doing.
-Don't yell at me.

Come on, just stop. Okay?

Can all of y'all shut up?
And it's all your fault, Marcus.

-I know you're not talking. You the one--
-Hey, stop! Stop! Please!

Are you okay?

-Are you okay?
-Why do you even care, okay?

-Let me check on you.
-[Wesley] Go be with the tutor.

-Go.
-[Jasmine] Wesley, let her check on you.

[Wesley] For what?
She's never been there for me.

It's always me and my dad.
That's why he's not here now.

Your dad's not here
because he has a drug addiction.

-Nick! Nick!
-Just tell him.

It is killing you, baby. Just tell him.

Tell me.

You really wanna know
why I was never around?

Because your father is an addict
with a record.

Okay? He could not get a job.

That's bullshit.

You… you took all his money…

-He lied. He lied.
-…in the divorce.

Addicts lie, okay?

-He told me that!
-Addicts lie!

I put food on the table. I made sure
you had a life, okay? That was me.

And every choice I made

was to protect the image
that you had of your sorry-ass father.

Your father turned you against me.
He tried to break me.

[Nick] Look.

I know you don't like me,
but think about it.

All those times
you would be over the house

and he'd be late to pick you up.
You remember those times?

And that was long
before I met your mother.

And you had to stay at our house.

I know it's hard to hear, Wesley,
but it's true, all right?

Nick helped me…

put the pieces together again.

He made me feel safe.

He treated me better
than your father ever did.

And I don't know why
he showed up younger than me, but…

he makes me feel whole.

No, don't you come near my son.

-[Terry] Just step back, Marcus.
-Look, I…

Just… just give it a minute.

I came to apologize.

Wesley,

I came to tell you I'm sorry.

-No.
-It's okay.

I'm sorry.

I should have told you all,
but I was embarrassed.

Baby girl, it's okay, honey.
You can tell us anything. We love you.

You know that, right?

Dad, it's hard
'cause your marriages are so perfect.

We can't live up to that.

[T.J.] I feel the same way.

Sometimes I'll, like, meet someone

and it's just like,
I can't bring them home.

They won't measure up to you two.

-What?
-Chill.

No, it's exactly that.

I feel the exact same way when I'm dating.
I just find a way to sabotage it.

[Angela] All right, listen, you guys.

I know that this is very hard

because you wanna think
your parents are perfect.

Right?

But I gotta be honest with you.

There are some things
that we will take to our graves.

But not telling your kids the truth

will have us ending up
exactly where we are right now.

Dealing with all this hurt,
this pain, this confusion.

Jazz, I wasn't perfect.

You hear me? And neither was your father.

None of us were.

My parents always told me
they weren't perfect.

Yeah, we just… we didn't tell you
how unperfect we… we really are.

Yeah, I think… I think this is a…

This is a good time
to tell some truths to our adult kids

about these ridiculous expectations

about what you think we are
and what marriage is.

I mean, your dad and I…

[sighs]

…we, you know…
we went through a rough patch.

We definitely, uh, weren't doing so well
at one point, and…

I had an affair.

He found out.
I mean, it almost tore us apart.

-Sorry, what?
-[Dianne sighs]

When was this?

It… Well, it was a long time ago.

[scoffs] Where were we?

[Dianne] You were there.

You know, protected from our pain.

-[T.J.] Dad.
-[Terry] Uh…

This was hard for me
and your mother to get through,

but we made it through it.

We got some counseling.

I had a few one-night stands myself,
started drinking too much, and, um…

Yeah, we're not proud.
We don't want to tell you this.

At all.

But… it's time for us
to start telling the truth,

'cause this stuff will go on
for generations and generations.

You know how people say, "What goes on
in this house stays in this house"?

It's that kind of covering up things

that keep this kind of stuff happening
over and over again.

So no, we weren't perfect…
but we were perfect at hiding it from you.

Well, uh… um…

The… the reason that… that I know

so much about abuse is because

your Uncle Mike was horrible to me.

Verbally. [chuckles]

[sighs]

Emotionally. [chuckles]

And, um…

and physically, sometimes.

Um…

And I… literally felt
like I was dying every day.

And then…

Uncle Mike left me,

and it was the best thing

that he ever did.

But because of our time together…

my self-esteem was really,

really low.

So I had to hunt

and search to find myself

for myself.

And during that journey…

[sighs]

…I met a… a friend.

And I met a friend too.

But we still had a lot to work through…

-…after, uh… [scoffs]
-[chuckles, sniffles]

…her coming to me from that asshole.

[Sheila chuckles]

-And me coming out of a divorce, and…
-[mouths] It's okay.

[Troy] …it was still tough. It was hard.

But I'm here,
and I would not wanna be anywhere else.

I just get so mad
and start doing stupid stuff.

Babe, I'm sorry.

I was wrong. We both were wrong.

Well, sweetie,

that's nothing but me and your mother
when we were your age.

And, son,

I was a womanizer.

I cheated on your mother so many times.

And she would just forgive me

over and over again.

Then I would do it again.

But I got some help,

and I found the root to some of it.

Now, it wasn't the main issue,

but one major factor was
I got my heart broke when I was young.

Oh, it was some tramp named Leslie.
It was before he met me.

-He was a teenager.
-[Marcus] Babe? Babe.

Look, son, I learned

I was trying to do anything but feel
or be hurt like that again.

So I get it.

But what you're doing is just not healthy.

And I started cheating on your dad too.

-Whoa. Ma. Ma.
-The bottom line is we're sorry.

We're not perfect.
We have all made mistakes.

If you all are just trying to believe
that your parents are perfect,

everybody around you is perfect,

all the shit you see online,
their lives are perfect, that's all lies.

Everybody's struggling.
Everybody's going through something.

It's not about how bad it is,
but it's how you move through it.

-Right.
-Hey.

So that's what we've tried to do.
We've tried to move through this

and help you all and show you
the best example that we can.

That's what we've done as parents,
so I'm sorry that this has happened.

I'm sorry you guys have gone through this,
but this is what real love is.

-This is what marriage is.
-Yes.

-[Terry] It's ugly sometimes. It's messy.
-[Angela] Yeah.

But it's beautiful too.

-But it's beautiful.
-And it's fun.

-And it's perfect. And it's worth it.
-[Angela] Yeah.

[Terry] When you stand there
with the person and fight, it's worth it.

And all of that working through it
has made some of them strong,

some of them solid,

and some of us afraid.

But you don't have to worry about that,

because you have tools
that we didn't have.

And you know
I am a big advocate for therapy.

So let's just postpone the wedding
for six or 12 years.

[Jasmine] Dad, no.

We can do this. I promise. I promise.

I… I don't think so.

Y'all just talked about
not being perfect, right?

-Yeah.
-Look, we love each other.

But baby, after that ass-whooping
that you gave him,

trust me, he'll be fine.

[regal trumpet music playing]

[poignant music playing]

[indistinct murmuring]

Oh, she's gorgeous. [chuckles]

[priest clears throat]

Who gives this woman?

I'm sorry?

Me. I do.

But…

I have my own vows that I wrote.

Marcus, honey.

Dad.

No, no, if I'm giving my daughter,

it's the only way.

It's fine.

[Marcus] All right.

First, I need you to know

that this beautiful young woman
in front of you

was my little girl
before she was anything else.

In order for me to hand her over,

I need you to promise me in front of God
and all of these witnesses

that you will never mistreat her.

Right hand to God,
I'll never mistreat her. Never.

And if you ever decide
that you don't want her,

you'll bring her right back to me
just like you found her.

That time will never come.

[Marcus] Promise me.

I promise you.

-And that…
-Uh, Marcus.

-[Marcus] No, no, no.
-Baby.

-Baby, one more thing.
-Dad, make this the last one.

I want you to promise me

that you will love her
just like I love her mother.

And if you ever find yourself
in a hard place,

you will go back to how you feel right now

and ask yourself,

"Why did I get married
in the first place?"

I promise you.

Then… you can have her hand.

[mouths] I love you.

Good job, Marcus.
