Previously
onBob Hearts Abishola...

Excuse me.

Just gonna...get the bread there.

Show him.

Baked by your sister

and left on
Kofo's scooter.

Did you tell heryou're not interested?

I did not.

You said you said rara.

Did you not say rara?

I met someone new.

His name is Randy,

and you guys
are going to love him.

This is Douglas Wheeler.
Who's this?

Randy.

No, I do not know Kofo,

and I do not know
why he's there.

Bob.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Chamomile with honey.

Thank you.

How come you're not wearingyour engagement ring?

Please tell me you're notholding out for a better deal.

What are you talking about?

Eh, the ring tells guysthat you're taken.

You know, keeps themfrom sniffing around.

That's disgusting.

Nobody sniffs around me.

I do not wear
the ring to work

because I cannot fit a surgicalglove over a large diamond.

Oh. Yeah, that makes sense.

And I'm gladyou think it's large.Mm.

And what do you wear
so women don't sniff you?

I don't haveto wear anything.

This ratty mustachekeeps 'em away.

[laughs]

So, uh, I'm thinkingwe could, uh, go out for dinner

and celebrate our engagement.

Oh, that's nice. But why
don't I just cook something?

Well, I guess you could,

but wouldn't you rather getall dolled up

and go somewhere fancy?

Dolled up?Yeah. You know,

wear something sexy.

Ah. So you wantmen
to sniff around me.

I want them to want to.

Then they'll see the ringand be crushed.

[chuckles]

You are a crazy person.

And you are the whackjobthat's marrying me.

Uh-uh.

I said I wanted ice cream.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Mummy ate the last
of your Chunky Monkey.

But my name was on it.

I brought grapes.

They are very sweet.

Try one.

My name was on it.

Just try one.

Okay.

Feed me.

Mmm.

Not bad.

Grape.

Kemi, I have to
tell you something.

You don't have to thank me.

We are consenting adults.

Grape.

This weekend is my
mother's 70th birthday.

70? Is that whatshe's telling you?

And it has been a lifelong
dream of hers to go to Paris.

Yes, and also mine.

I know. But I have made
plans to take Mummy.

And not me?

Not this time.

Grape?

You are going to Pariswithout me?

I know I should
have told you sooner,

but I was afraid
you might be angry.

So you made plans to takeyour mother behind my back.

I'm telling you now.

But you waitedtill after we had delicious sex.

My timing is unfortunate.

No, it's fine.

I'm happy for you.

I'm happy that youand your mummy will be strolling

down the Champs-Elysées whileI am riding a bus in Detroit.

Grape!

[hisses]

["Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing]

I do not see whyyou are upset, though.

I thinkit is very nice.Yeah.

I hope my son
takes me to Paris one day.

Then you are as
ridiculous as they are.

Paris is for lovers,

not mothers.

That's true.

It'd be a nice place
for a honeymoon.

Does Bob speak French?

[scoffs]
He barely speaks English.

Kemi, Chukwuemeka is doing avery nice thing for his mother.

Would you rather bewith a man

who did not careabout the woman who raised him?

Yes! I thought
I was very clear about that.

Shame on you.

GLORIA:Yeah,

I got to go with
the Bride of Sock Man.

Shame.

So neither of you
are on my side?

What, you
want us to lie?

Fine.

You should go to Parisinstead of his mom,

Chukwuemekadoesn't deserve you,

and out of all your wigs,

that one's my favorite.

Is there something wrong
with my wig?

Lie.

No.

[knocking]

Sounds so real.

Douglas.

Oh. Hey.

What's up?

I got to ask you a favor.

Now?

I'm kind of swamped.

Tonight, I'm taking
Abishola out to celebrate.

That new place at
the riverfront called

and they said they
have a table open.

So what's the favor?

Do you mind watching Mom?

[groans]
Can't Christina do it?

Christina's got therapy tonight,

and I don'twant her
skipping that.

All right. No problem.

Okay, you got to
drive Mom home,

get her some dinner,
take her to the bathroom.

and put her to bed.

Oh, in that order?

Don't push your luck.

Sorry.

Now, we'll have to switch cars,
'cause her wheelchair

won't fit in yours.

So you'll be driving my 'Vette?

Yeah, and you'll be driving
my Cadillac.

[scoffs] Your Cadillac
is a beanbag with wheels.

My Corvette

is a rocket ship.

With wheels.

You got to know
how to drive it.

Don't worry.
I'll be gentle.

See? Right there,

first instinct is wrong.

You gotto drive it hard,

like you're mad at it.

Just focus on
keeping Mom alive.

She'll be fine.
Worst-case scenario,

I got 911 on speed dial.

OPERATOR:
911. What's your emergency?Uh...

Sorry. No emergency.

Cancel the SWAT team.

Nobody's been taken hostage.

I said "nobody."

No, there are no hostages.

You got a nice voice.
What's your name?

Hello.

[quietly]:
Hello.

Yogurt?

[sighs]

What's the point?

It has probiotics,which promotes gut health.

What's wrong?

My heart is broken.

It's just a rock.

It's not just a rock.

When Christina's
rugged boyfriend threw me

to the unforgiving
Arizona ground,

I was humiliated.

Luckily,

I hit my head on this beautifulheart-shaped rock.

It was a sign.

I knew right then
there was still hope for us.

Your sign is doo-doo.

What?

[sniffs]

This is a piece of doo-doo.

Probably from a cow.

That's why so many dogs
have been following me.

I am sorry, cousin.

Don't be.

You tried to warn me not
to get involved with her,

but my ears were
closed to the truth.

It isnot your fault.

You were deafenedby forces bigger than you.

What do you mean?

Don't you see?

[quietly]:You have been bewitched.

You think so?

Remember when Christina madethat cake with your face on it?

Yeah.She trapped your spirit

inside those creamychocolate layers.

Oluwa mi o.

We need to defeather magic with our own.

How?

I will seek the counsel

of my great-grandmother,

who still knowsthe old ways.

Or I will finda video on YouTube.

[groans]

[groans loudly]

What?

They haven't even
left the country yet,

and already his mother
is taunting me.

She is just eatinga pastry, now.

A croissant!

Do you not see the symbolism?

I'm sorry, eh.

I have to go.[bell rings]

Like everybody
in my life.

Bonsoir.

Are you goingto be okay?

Oui.

All right.

Abishola?

Hmm?

I don't say it
enough, but...

you are a good friend, and I
am so fortunate to have you.

[keys jangle]If we have time,
I can do your nails.

Uh-uh. What is wrong
with my nails?[sighs]

You are so lucky I'm here.

[shuts off engine][exhales]

If I got in,

I should be able to get out.

[groans]

[grunting]

[straining]

[shouts, grunts]

You okay, buddy?

Do I look okay?

Not really.

Are you gonna help
or you gonna watch?

I think I'm gonna watch.

[groans]

At first, our relationshipwas just physical.

You know, like wrestling

but sweatier.

But somewherealong the way,

I started
to have feelings for him.

Oh, that's a good thing, Kemi.No.

Because now I miss him.

He'll be back.Yes.

Back under
his mother's arthritic thumb.

Other hand.

I have terrible thoughts
about her, Abishola.

Terrible, terrible thoughts.

Well, every woman hasproblems with the mother of....

I want her dead.

Ah.

I know, I know.

[exhales]

She is extremely allergic
to shellfish.

Kemi, what are you saying?Nothing.

Maybe a cocktail shrimp
falls in her coffee.

Blow.

We pray
that God removes this juju

from the head of Kofoworola
Omogoriola Olanipekun.

Amen.And that this woman's

beguilement of this
poor, innocent fool

be banished to whence it came.

Amen?

We pray that
the tentacles

of desire be amputated
and cast into the abyss.

Do I use conditionerafter this?

Shh!

May you quench his libido

and douse the fire
in his loins.

My loins are fine.I said be quiet.

What are you doing?Hang on.

Okay.

This next part gets weird.

This is nice. Just
me and my mom.

I'm driving Miss Dottie.

Did you see that movie?

What movie?

You know, Bob was concerned

I might not be able to take
care of you. [chuckles]

Isn't that funny?

Isn't it?

Douglas,
that was a pointed silence.

Pointed taken.

Hey,

as long as I got you here,

how would you feel
about me getting

a little title bump at work?

What are you now?

VP, Human Resources.

Well, what do you want to be?President, Human Resources?

Emperor?

It's funny.I got it.

Archduke, Human Resources.

Mom, I'm being serious.So am I.

Why can't I just be
vice president

of the whole company?

You know, with a corresponding
increase in salary.

Oh, honey,
you should've took archduke

while it was on the table.

Come on, I've earned this.

You haven'tearned anything.

You were borninto this job.

So were Bob and Christina.

You don't hold it against them.

Of course I do.
They break my heart every day.

This is not fair.

I am not giving youa promotion.

You're overpaid as it is.

Well, if that's how you feel,

maybe I shouldn't be working
at MaxDot at all.

Maybe you shouldn't.Maybe I shouldn't.

Fine!Fine!

So, what elseis going on with you?

Hmm.

This is Douglas's car?Yeah.

Oh. It's very nice.

Glad you like it.
I live in it now.

What does that mean?

Oh, you'll see.

So, tell me about your day.

Mm, I'd rather not.

Is something wrong?No.

I've just been talkingto Kemi nonstop.

I'd like to not talkfor a little while.

Okay. You want to
hear about my day?

If you must.

This is shaping up
to be a great night.

If you don't feel like
it, we don't have to have

a big, fancy
engagement dinner.

It does not matter to me.

I'm just happyto spend time with you.

So you don't care where we go?

No. You pick.

So you're on record,
it's up to me.

Yes, Bob.

Great. No takebacks!

[tires squealing]

Yeah, let me get, uh,two Coney Dogs, a Loose Burger,

two chili cheese fries
and two milkshakes.

All right, what do you want?

Ever since we started
seeing each other,

his mother has stood in the way.

She objects to my age,
to my being a widow,

to my hating her.

I cannot win.

And you never will
if you take on Ogechi.

Don't be so certain.

[chuckles] I have known Ogechi
for many, many years.

I've never seen herlose a fight.

She's mean as a snake.

It is true.

Her nickname at church
is Sweetie Pie.

That doesn't sound mean.

We say it ironically.

"Shh. Here comes Sweetie Pie."

Well, she may be a nasty snake,

but I am a clever mongoose.

Oh, really?

Tell me, mongoose,

are you the one in Paris
with Chukwuemeka?

Because it appearsyou are here in Detroit,

crying and whining.

Please, continue.

Your problem is that Chukwuemekaloves his mother

more than life itself,
and that will never change.

Then what can I do?

There is only one thing.

What? Please, guide me.

You must be more Ogechi
than Ogechi.

That sounds unnatural.

If done right, it is.

Okay, you all set here?I think so.

Thanks, honey.You're welcome.

And listen, I'm sorry
about earlier. I overreacted.

You did.Well,

water under the bridge.

Heat of the moment,
things were said.

[chuckles]: Obviously, I don't
want to leave the company.

Obviously.Okay.

Good night.

Douglas?

Yeah?

I really do want to give you
that promotion and raise.

But?

I want you to earn it.

Oh.

Then forget about it.

No, no, no, no.Come over here.

Sit down.

Honey,

you need to prove to yourself
and everyone

that you deserve your place
in the company.

Can't you just
tell them I do?

They'll believe you.

Listen, just because
you were born on third base

doesn't mean you can't learn
how to hit a home run.

So, you're putting
me on first base?

Oh, no, you'renot even in the dugout.

You're in the parking lot,selling churros.

Is that a metaphor,
or is that my new job?

I want you to start working
on the warehouse floor.

Packing, shipping, cleaning.

Sounds hard.

It is.

But after a year or two,
you'll be a different person.

You'll have a new respectfor the company

and a new respectfor yourself.

Yeah, but a year?

Or two.

But won't it be weird, me
making so much more money

than all the other guys
on the warehouse floor?

You're right. From now on,

you'll make minimum wage.

Oh, come on! What did
I do to deserve this?

Nothing, honey.
That's the point.

Trust me,

this'll be great for you.

Okay.

Now give Mommy
a kiss good night.

Okay.

Love you.

Okay.

[chuckles]: We really
should not eat like this.

Hey, you don't vote,you can't complain.

I used to come hereall the time.

One year for Lent,I gave up other restaurants.

I can see why you
had a heart attack.

Hey, that hurt my feelings.

Excuse me while I makethe pain go away.

All better.

[laughs]

You laugh, but this placegot me through some tough times.

After my dad died, I broughtDouglas and Christina here.

The night I found outabout Lorraine's affair,

I drove around for hours

and then ended up hereat 2:00 in the morning.

Doesn't that just make you sad?

Okay. Hold that thought.

Now eat one of those fries

and try to stay sad.

See? It's like the greaseis giving you a hug.

Mmm. There were days

I could have used
a place like this.Oh, yeah? Like when?

Never mind.Hey.

Come on.

We got to be able to talkabout this stuff.

[sighs]
Like when my husband Tayo

said he was leaving us
to go back to Nigeria.

That must have been rough.

He could not find a job, so
he wanted to go back home,

and I wanted to stay
and keep trying.

I was willing to struggle to
give Dele a better future,

but he was not.

He did not come here
for his family.

He came here for himself.

I'm sorryyou went through that.

Don't be. It got me here.

Eating chili dogswith your fiancé.

Yes, we are engaged!

No one sniff around.

Don't show off the ring.

This isn'ta great neighborhood.

Hi, Kofo.

Hello, Christina.

[exhales]
I want to apologize

for what happened in Arizona.

Oh, it-it's okay.I should never have gone there.

I'm glad you did.

Made me realizethat what we have is special.

Oh, no.

We cannot do this.
Goodwin went through six bars

of black soap.Shh.

Oluwa mi o.

[panting]
Oluwa mi o!

[whispers]:

Goodwin.

[whispering]:
What?

I am still bewitched.

I'll get the soap.

Your wife is a deep sleeper.

Shh!

[doorbell rings]

Welcome home, my darling.

Oh, Kemi, I missed
you so much.

I missed you, too.

You look so beautiful.Do I?

Yes.Hmm.

And stylish. Is that new?

This?

It is old. Very old.

What is that smell?It seems familiar.

Elizabeth Taylor's
White Diamonds.

I think that's what Mummy wears.

Oh! What a coincidence.

Would you like to see the giftsI brought you from Paris?

You brought me gifts? Oh.

You are such a good boy.

Anything for my mummy.
I mean, my Kemi.

[both laugh]
