‐ Come on, come on. ‐ Okay.

[laughing]

Oh, not in your apartment.

Oh, we actually
got away with it.

Yeah, pretty amazing,
considering half the night

you were screaming
like a banshee.

Hah!

So? You were the one
cooing like a pigeon.

‐ Oh. ‐ Even after
you fell asleep.

Yeah, well, you know.

You are the only woman
who has ever elicited

coos from a Barker.

‐ Ooh. ‐ Rrr.

‐ Oh! ‐ Woo.

Oh, wait, wait, wait. Max, Max.

Max, Max, Max, Max.

It's okay. It's just Overton.

What do you mean,
it's just Overton?

Well, he knows.

He knows what?

I know you'll need to
oil that box spring.

Freaka‐fregade‐fregade
‐fradgady‐freak.

First, Khadijah. Now, Overton.

Wait, wait, wait.
Khadijah knows?

She knows if she
tells, I'll kill her.

And the same goes for you, Mr.
Handy Boy.

Oh, my lip's are sealed.

Unlike yours, Miss
Pigeon Noises.

‐ That was Kyle. ‐ Oh, yeah.

Yeah, right. Like that
was you doing that.

Ah, she's right man. You
know, she hit that spot‐‐.

Oh, no. No, you went

[cooing]

Stop it.

[laughing]

What's so funny?

‐ Ah, nothing. ‐ Ah, nothing.

Overton Wakefield Jones.

Your eyelid twitches that way

when you're holding something
back or telling a lie.

What's going on?

Oh, woman, can't a man
moisten his cornea

without you getting suspicious?

I'm telling you,
n‐nothing's going on.

Alright, tell me you like

my cottage cheese
key lime cobbler.

It's a taste sensation.

Okay, dad.

Well, I don't have mommy's
number in front of me right now.

So why don't you just
give me your number?

And the, I'll have her call you.

Alright, let me get a pen.

Yeah, go ahead.

Uh‐huh.

Okay, alright. Got it. Bye.

So is your dad coming
to the wedding?

Unfortunately,
he's in town early

and he wants to
take me and my mom

to brunch for Mother's Day.

I love brunch.

It's like breakfast and lunch
all rolled up into one.

Oh, oh, that's it.

Breakfast and lunch to..

I just got that, girl.

I don't know why you even
invited him in the first place.

The man just went through
his third divorce.

Think he'd be sick
of weddings by now.

Oh, now, let's put a Band‐Aid
on that emotional boo‐boo.

You know, your
father's kinda cool.

He taught us how
to play basketball

and he taught us that
really neat card game.

Ah, what was it, uh,
three‐card Monte?

Claire, the man spent more
time in Atlantic City

than he did with us.

Maybe he liked the ocean.

Maybe he liked any place
that wasn't home.

Alright, Khadijah.

I know that your father was
not the perfect father.

But‐but maybe my wedding
is the perfect opportunity

for you two to get together
and chit and chat.

‐ Chit and chat? ‐ 'Yeah.'

Well, what we going to
chit and chat about?

Why I only see him once a year?

Or how are your other kids?

Where is that dirt
bike you promised me

for my tenth birthday?

Huh, where is it?

Where is the bike?

‐ I never got the bike.
‐ I know.

‐ The bike never came.
‐ Ding‐ding‐ding.

‐ Ding‐ding‐ding. ‐ I
really wanted that bike.

Ding‐ding‐ding.

Alright, I tried. You win.

Happy cousin, zero. Stank
attitude cousin, one.

Here, have a refreshing drink.
I'm sorry.

Hey, sweetie, um..

The baker is having a problem

with your wedding cake.

Now, he say's that he can make
it in the shape of a daisy

but it's too heavy to balance
on a liquorice stem.

El chorro.

Hey, wait a minute.

Is this one your trick's to keep

my, my‐my reception from
being "an atrocity?"

You know, I get the
feeling you think

this event is all about
you and Overton.

Other people have
reputations at stake here.

Yeah, you're right, Regine.
We're bad people.

[gasps] Just throw this out.

Did it ever occur to you
that Overton doesn't want

a wedding cake shaped like
a big old funky daisy?

Wait, now. Maybe that's what he
and Kyle are keeping from me.

Overton keeping
secret's from you?

Please girl, that's
like Snap and Crackle

keeping secrets from Pop.

‐ Yeah, it's no big whoop.
‐ Yeah, you're right.

Okay, so this cake.
Now, we've got this‐‐

I bet it's some little
thing wrong with his car.

Something little like that.

Synclaire, why don't
you just ask him?

I don't want to ask him. I
don't want him to think

I don't trust him.

Especially this close
to the wedding.

I mean, I‐it's a bad sign.

You know what's a bad
sign at a wedding?

No cake!

What if it's something huge?

What if he needs a
heart transplant

or‐or liver transplant?

Or chin, a whole new chin?

What will he touch
when he is thinking?

Regine, you've got to help me.

Clearly somebody has to.

Alright, what do
you want me to do?

Well, girl..

You know how you're this
evil little busy body.

Well, why don't you just be
a dear and find out for me?

Alright, but only because
I need a semi‐sane bride.

Consider this a gift here.

So when your actual
wedding day comes

and you get something
modest, you understand.

I still can't believe it.

My mother eating with my father.

I mean, who ever heard
of such a thing?

Bolt the door.

The four horsemen of the
apocalypse are on their way.

Oh, come on, Khadijah.

It will be fun to
see Uncle Eddie.

Remember that neat magic
trick he used to do?

Oh, yeah, the one
where he disappears

whenever you need him.

Before I help you
get through this

why don't you think of
him as just another man?

You know, a puppy with pants.

Look, I'll be fine. I'm just
going to support my moms..

[knock on door]

For her sake, I'mma play
this whole thing on the low.

Just watch me. You're
going to be proud.

Ma.

Mummy, mummy, what
were you thinking?

Hello to you, too.

‐ Aunt Rita, Rita, Rita.
‐ Hello.

Okay, look, ju‐just‐just tell me

why would you have
brunch with daddy?

Well, your father finally
realized that I deserve

to celebrate at least
one Mother's Day.

And I'mma take him up on it.

I can't remember the last
time the man brought me

a stick of gum.

Oh, I get it.

We're going to go
out and juice him.

Break his pockets a
little some‐some.

Ma, your good. Go ahead, ma.
You witty, witty, ma.

[knock on door]

Uncle Eddie. Uncle Eddie,
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

Your pops is fine.

How come I'm getting
older and you aren't?

You are so silly.

[chuckles]

I got a little cheek
he can kiss, too.

'Oh, a big one.'

Look at my little Hoover star.
Still beautiful.

Hey, you still playing ball?

Oh, no, no. I have a job.

Bill's to pay.

Responsibility. You
know how it is.

Oh, no, you don't, do you?

Khadijah. Khadijah!

Well, that's, that's
alright, Rita.

She has got the gift of sarcasm.

It's a James thing.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Oh, Maxine Shaw.

Attorney, alder‐woman.

I've heard everything.
Everything about you.

And if you take me to
dinner, I'll forget it all.

[laughing]

‐ She means it. ‐ 'Yeah.'

Ah, I'm sorry, I just want
this to be with the family.

Speaking of which.

Synclaire, where is this
young man of yours?

I have no idea where he is.

You know how men are.

Always off doing things
nobody knows about.

I don't know where he is.
I don't..

I can't believe I don't
know where he is..

‐ Okay, okay. ‐
Tell me anything.

Just going out having
secret's like he's‐‐.

So, uh, are my two
favorite ladies

ready for a night out on a town?

Well, I don't know about
your two favorite ladies

whoever they maybe,
but the mother

of your first born and the
daughter who you only see

when it's convenient
are ready to eat.

Like I'm Overton's keeper.
Please.

He is trying to
keep stuff from me.

We fitting of getting married?
Oh, ho, ho.

That won't happen, once the
ring is on the finger.

Oh, no. Don't you mess with me.

You tell me, when and where
for art thou, Overton.

Yes, don't mess with me.

[jazz music]

[laughing]

Khadijah, you were so adorable.

Do you remember whenever you
would get an upset stomach?

No.

You would make me sing

the "Get Well Tummy" song

and rub your belly.

And you'd get mad at me because
I didn't sing it right.

That's right. That's right.

I don't remember any of this.

Oh, yeah.

Check this out.

Here I am singing to your belly

when you were five years old.

‐ That's my tootsie roll bank.
‐ 'Yeah.'

I can't believe you carry
this around in your wallet.

‐ I look miserable. ‐ No.
Your stomach hurt.

Or maybe it was your singing.

Ah, now, maybe I can
get the band to play

something to lighten
up the mood.

Golly, ma. You are a
heck of an actress.

You almost got me convinced
you're falling for this garbage.

I'm not falling for anything.

Your father and I get along fine

just as long as
we're not married.

But, ma, this was suppose
to be about payback.

And the look on his
face when we hit him

with that fat check and bounce.

Band didn't even know "The
Get Well Tummy Song."

But it turns out
they know our song.

‐ May I have this
dance with‐‐ ‐ No.

This is Mother's Day,
and I'm the mother.

[jazz music]

Your parents?

They look just great together.

Your a very lucky young lady.

Now, if that were true

this wouldn't be
happening to me.

Including you talking to me.

[music continues]

Now here's the kicker.

You could retrieve any
phone number you want

just by speaking
into this bad boy.

But you got to program it first

so recognize your voice, see..

Attention, this is your mother.

Learn my voice or get
sent back to the store.

‐ That is all. ‐ Oh, how nice.

Two people who don't live here

and one of them is yelling.

Why don't we just kick a hole

in the sofa for the fun of it?

I'm down.

Um, Overton.

Pfft. I don't need to be clever.
This is just you.

Now, I understand that
you and Kyle are keeping

something from Synclaire.

What is it?

I just love that movie "Casino."

Especially that scene where
they stick that guys head

in the vice and tighten it
until his eyes... pop out.

Um, uh, Regine, the‐the
secret is, um..

Synclaire had her heart set

on honeymooning in Australia

and I'm more afraid
of koala bears

than I am of clowns.

Yeah. True that. True that.

I mean, people, people
think they are cute

but they are still bears.

Now you know my shame.

[telephone ringing]

Hello.

Hello, mother.

Ooh, gossip.

What's up, girl?

Girl, I don't know
what happened.

I mean, at first, it
was us against him.

Then it was their song.
Then it was my migraine.

Next thing I know,
they were laughing

and dropping me off.

Good work, mom.

Sookey‐sookey, now.

According to my mother

your mother and your father

are on their way to
Atlantic City in a limo.

Atlantic City?

Aw, well, isn't that romantic?

In a cruel, heartless
sort of way.

Oh, my God.

This is my fault.

I just sat there and let
her get taken in by him.

Well, I'm not letting
her go out like that.

Hmm, no girl. Come on, let's go.

I just got to run upstairs
and get my camera.

Mom wants me to
take some pictures.

Sorry, Regine. This
is a family thing.

What?

Come on, Max. You driving.

'Max?'

Since when is she family?

Well, she ain't been
around with you.

‐ You want that. ‐ She
ain't been around..

Khadijah. Khadijah.
Please, Khadijah.

We have searched every stupid
inch of every damn casino.

Now, if I don't start to
get some freaking food

I may just to get cranky.

Well, you better
wrestle Cleopatra

for a bowl of them pretzels
because I'm not stopping

until I find my parents.

No.

[gasps]

Look. Look at them.

The faces of those people
in the buffeteria.

They know something about
your mother and father.

I say we go question them.

Ooh, hoo, hoo. Ooh,
bad for you heart.

Bad for your heart.

Would you look at that?

Oh, I know.

An all you can eat
Belgium waffle bar.

No.

Well, how could you
do this to me?

Didn't we drop you off
three hours from here?

Khadijah, how's your headache?

It's getting worse.

You know, those waffles
are all you can eat.

Khadijah, you're being
rude and ridiculous.

Ma, can't you see he's
just trying to play you?

Except this time with less hair?

What are you talking about?

He brought you to Atlantic City!

Some high rolling, a few drinks

you wake up in his
complimentary hotel room.

First of all, there
is no hotel room.

Second, your father stopped
gambling seven years ago.

And the only reason we're here

is to see the Smokey
Robinson Show.

Oh!

Oh‐oh. You know this is
not the real crab meat.

This is a fake crab meat.

Not that I care.

Thank you!

After all that's happened, how
can you hang out with him?

Look, baby, nobody
has been as angry

with your father as I have.

But I can either carry that
bitterness to my grave

or sit in the front row with
my ex and wink at Smokey.

I hear you on that, ma.
That's‐that's great.

But it is gonna take Smokey

and a whole lot more
miracles for me to move on.

Now, hold up there, Khadijah!
Hold up there!

Give me five minutes to load up.

They just took the
skin off the gravy.

Just five minutes!

Just taking few things.

Few things for the road.

For the road!

Time for my midnight snack.

Girl, I'm getting into
that wedding dress

if I got to drink diet
shakes all night long.

Well, I didn't get
any decent dirt

but I saved your marriage and
I guess that's something.

Really? You‐you know what
Overton's keeping from me?

Hmm.

Okay, well, tell me! No, don't.

Well, come on. Tell me!

No, don't, don't, don't.

Okay, I know.

I'll go into the living room

you pretend like you're
telling someone else.

And I'll just overhear.
Okay. Go!

Okay, before you drive us
both completely insane.

Overton doesn't want a
vacation in Australia

because he's afraid
of koala bears.

That's absurd!

When Overton was three he
fell into the koala habitat

at the Cleveland Zoo.

The mama koala scooped him up
to safety and he was fine.

Girl, the whole thing was
on "Those Amazing Animals."

I've been duped by
Overton Wakefield Jones?

Apparently!

Hey, ladies. Uh..

Got any more of
those diet shakes?

Found out that's a great way
to wash down cheese cake.

You liar!

Well, don't knock till you try.

Overton, there's something I'd
like to discuss with you.

Something of a personal
and private nature.

Ah, well, you be that
way, then, you hear.

I'll just go over to Kyle's

and see if homeboy able to
drive me to Atlantic City.

It is time to stop the insanity.

You and Kyle are keeping
something from me

and I want you to
tell me what it is.

I, I can't do that, baby.

What? I'm about to be your wife!

Look, Kyle is my best friend

and I promised not to
divulge the information.

Alright.

What about I promised
to the same secrecy

plus I give you a yummy
marshmallow massage?

Kyle and Max are doing the
wild thing again. Let's go.

Wait, wait, wait.
That's your secret?

Oh, I knew that!

The‐the, his room is
right above mine.

I hear, heard them through
the vent one night.

Oh, please.

Guess what?

Max coos like a pigeon.

Child, that's Kyle.

‐ No! ‐ Yeah.

Coo, coo!

[coins jingling]

[laughing] Did I ever tell you

how my father used to
take us fly fishing?

In Montana. Every summer.

Every sum.. Every summer!
Every damn summer!

Large mouth bass.

Woo‐hoo.

Well, at least your
father was there.

I had a drive‐by daddy.

Every now and then, he'd roll up

throw a few empty
promises my way

and keep on moving.

Oh, I get it.

Mm‐hmm. Forget him.

Oh, look who's driving
up on you now.

Alright. I guess I'll go watch

Moses free his
people from Egypt.

They got a show in 15 minutes.

Who is your messiah now?

It's better if you
use the lever.

A‐and when you pull it

yank it like you mean it.

I can handle it! Thank you!

You never did listen to me.

Well, I've kind of a
short attention span.

Especially since I
only hear from you

every six months.

You know, the only reason you're
here is for Synclaire's wedding!

No, I'm here because I
wanted to be with my family.

Khadijah, when your
mother and I had you

we were younger
than you are now!

I wasn't ready to be a father

and I made a lot of mistakes!

A whole lot of mistakes, daddy.

Mad goo gobs of mistakes.

Why you wait until
now to say it?

Another mistake.

But I'm still your father.

Maybe you feel like
you don't need me

but I need you.

Why?

'Cause you are one of the
few things in my life

I didn't mess up!

Khadijah, you became

a strong, intelligent..

Beautiful young woman.

I just wish I could say I
had more to do with it.

So do I.

I'm sorry, I..

I don't know how I
can pay you back

for all the times
I wasn't there.

Give me a dollar.

Okay.

Come on!

A‐almost. Just pull down faster.

Let it go and snap!

Uh.. Uh..

‐ Damn! ‐ Damn!

Come on, give me more!
Give me more!

Khadijah, I'm not trying
to buy your affections.

For three dollars?

Look, I‐I I'm gonna
go find your mother

and tell her where we are.

I'll be back, I promise.

Alright.

Hey!

[slot machines clanging]

Come on. Come..

Oh!

[coins jingling]

Big money! Daddy!

Dad! Oh, my God! Ha, ha!

'Whoo!'

I won!

Me, with my father's money!

I did it!
