Answer call.

Jay!

What's up bro?

- Man how many times I gotta tell you?

You can't be calling me bro!

- Trevor calls you bro.

- Trevor is black, dude!

- See, you just called me dude!

That's not a very black thing to say.

- When white guys say bro,

it just sounds like they're trying to be cool.

It just doesn't sound right!

- So I can't say bro!

Okay what do you want me to say, man or player?

- Alright stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

First of all, it's brah, not bro.

And it's playa, not player!

- Look!

Jay!

- Yeah, just stick to that.

- Jay, I gotta go!

I have a date!

- And don't even think about calling me my full name!

- What, you don't like Jayquain?

- Man I know we've been friends since college,

but you still white Nick.

It's Jaquan!

- Okay, whatever your name is, I gotta get going brah!

- Okay!

That was pretty good!

With Sarah again?

- Yeah.

- Ooh, I shoulda known.

You been kinda ghost since you been datin' her.

- Well, I think she's the one.

So I gotta go.

- Okay, I suppose we can get a drink another time?

- Yeah.

Next week fo' sho', a'ight?

You look good.

Okay.

- Good evening, sir.

- Good evening.

- Would you like to start with any drinks,

or appetizers while you wait?

- Well, she is later than usual.

Ah yeah, I'll have that rose right there.

- Great choice.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you, sir.

- There are three of us, so our vote counts more!

There is nothing worse than those boring romance movies.

I know, right?

The Notepad, boring.

So it's settled, we'll go see Magic Marcus, and if Lauren doesn't want to go see it,

she can go watch Legends of the Autumn by herself.

I gotta go mommas, I have a dinner date.

Oh, we're in...

- Beverly Hills.

- I have no idea where, I'll call you later.

Hi!

- Hey, Sarah.

You gotta show up on time, every once in a while.

You know?

- I'm sorry Babe.

I was at a party, and I couldn't leave in the middle of the Stanky Leg contest.

Then I had to clean up and...

- I'm sorry, a what contest?

- Stanky Leg.

- Stanky?

- You know!

- The Stanky Leg.

- Okay.

- And the Nay Nay.

- [Nick] Okay, Sarah.

- And then you break your legs, woo!

- Okay, stop.

I get it, it's a dance.

- So serious, geez.

Lighten up.

- Sorry.

[sighs]

So, I chose this nice place,

because I thought it would be a good place

for us to discuss where we are, in this.

- Where we are?

- Well yeah, like where do we go from here?

You know.

- Oh!

Nick.

I'm only 23, I'm not ready to settle down.

- But you said.

- Yeah, that was in bed.

People say all kinds of things

when they're having mad, passionate sex!

- Well, the sex is pretty damn hot.

- Doesn't mean we have to get married.

- I'm not saying get married.

Okay, I'm just saying, we can...

- No, no, no, no, now it's all ruined.

No, the sex is gonna be way too serious now.

- What?

- We should end this.

Before it gets even more sappy.

I'm sorry, Nick.

- Sarah.

Are you?

- [Sarah] Hey yeah, sorry, I'm done.

- I love our Sundays!

Hangin' with my girls, having cocktails.

Pria, thank you so much for always being such a great host!

- Though it does feel a little sacrilegious

to be drinking alcohol right after church.

- I don't see you turning down the drinks!

- Well who could resist your specialty cocktails?

- Ah, temptation!

- I guess we're a bad influence.

- Yeah, I think it's because of the two of you

that I'm going straight to hell.

[laughing] - No she didn't!

- Gosh, how do you do it, Pria?

- Do what?

- This.

Balance.

I mean, you're married, with kids,

and yet you still have time for two divorcees like us.

- Well, thank God for grandparents and golf.

- Your kids are so lucky

to have such incredible grandparents.

- And it gives me more time to spend with you guys.

- Oh my god, you know I don't know what I'd do

without the two of you.

I guess it'd just be me and my dog Duke.

[clears throat]

- Yes, speaking of that.

I know that Duke is a fantastic cuddler and all,

you've got to get out there and start dating again.

- Yeah, that dog Duke should not be

the only man in your household.

- Duke keeps me going.

Getting up and taking him to the dog park every day,

that's what helped me get out of bed

when Terrence and I divorced.

- Well, now you got your dog park crew

that you tell us about.

- They are so much fun, you guys have to meet them!

Maybe I'll like plan a gathering, like Game Night!

- Yeah!

- If I can ever find the time to do it.

Until then, maybe the two of you

can actually go with me to the dog park.

- Oh! - No, no, no, no!

I don't trust everybody's dog.

I mean I know Duke, so we cool.

But a sister's not trying to get bit.

- Yeah this white girl don't wanna get bit either.

- There you go.

- Yep, wicked.

[laughing]

- You guys!

Cheers to my college friends, gotta love ya.

- Oh cheers!

- [Sandy] Cheers!

- Speaking of which, do you remember this one

when she got drunk, we had to fish her out of the dumpster?

Jay, what are you doing here?

- It's Sunday football, man!

What did you, forget?

- Yep.

- Why do you look hungover?

- Because I am.

- I've never seen you hungover.

- Sarah left me at the restaurant last night.

So I drank the bottle of champagne I ordered for us.

Then she sent me a text,

confirming that she is indeed breaking up with me,

so I drank another bottle.

And then a few shots of the ole whiskey, and...

- Man why are you crying over this girl!

So what, the sex was good?

She was 23 years old, it's supposed to be good, that's it!

Period, nothing else.

[sighs]

[barking]

- What was that?

- The neighbors maybe, I don't know.

[dog whining]

- Your neighbors look a lot like Sarah's dog.

She asked me to take care of him

while she's out of town for a few weeks.

- Let me get this straight.

She left you at the restaurant by yourself,

then confirmed the breakup with a text,

and you agreed to take care of her dog?

While she's probably away with another man

or will end up getting with another man?

- It sounds bad when you say it like that.

What are you doing with my wallet?

- Taking your player card, cus it's officially revoked.

Look man, you are a smart, successful guy, okay?

She's not the only chick in the world,

so when you find the Nick that I know,

you gimme a call cus ain't no coochie in the world

worth all this.

- Look, Jay.

I'm in a room with a bunch of computer nerds all day okay,

I don't get out much.

- You used to be one of them, man.

And now you design some of the best apps in the world!

I mean who could design apps for this tiny thing!

And they're good too, man!

Look, know your value!

Now go out there, and find a girl

that doesn't know anything about you.

Start from scratch.

And don't pull out the baller one

until she loves you for you.

- I don't want anyone else, I wanted Sarah.

- Look man, stop buying African art!

- [Nick] I like it.

- You're not African.

Wings or something!

He's special.

- I know I've never seen a bulldog run like him.

- Listen I don't know you but,

I have a feeling that your heartbreak comes

from only going after poodles and ignoring other breeds,

- Sarah's got a special kind of dog.

We only come here in the morning or at night,

or else he overheats.

Also he can only eat wild game because of his allergies.

My god, is that food expensive.

- You're paying for his food?

What's his name?

- What, oh, Maxx.

- It's adorable.

- Yeah.

He's not my dog, though, he's my ex's.

- Oh, I see.

So sharing custody of the dog you guys adopted together?

That's so sweet.

- Oh no, no he's just her dog.

Yeah she had him before we got together.

He's not adopted, you wouldn't imagine how expensive he was.

Good luck.

What!

- Bro!

You have absolutely no game!

No one wants to hear about your sob breakup stories, man!

Okay, look.

From now on, he's your dog, and you adopted him.

- But... - No!

Women like men who adopt dogs,

it makes them look caring and compassionate.

- Jay, purchasing a dog

doesn't make anyone seem less caring.

- You're missing the point, Nick.

- Yeah, I am.

- See, if I was single,

I wouldn't leave here without a number or two.

But a brother can look.

- Yeah well you most certainly are not single.

In fact she's probably watching you right now.

- Where!

- It's possible, but I was kidding.

- Don't play with me like that, it's not funny.

- Okay, here we are.

- Thank you.

- Oh!

Such a pretty color.

- Alright thank you. - Thank you!

- You all enjoy your drinks.

- You too.

- So how old is he?

Shelter thinks he's about four.

Oh what a wonderful dog daddy you are!

- Yeah.

- I know, totally.

- I'm Kelly.

- Oh.

Nick, nice to meet you Kelly.

- Nice to meet you.

Call me sometime.

- I will.

[exhales]

Man, that really does work.

Thank you, Jay.

Come on, buddy.

- How are you feeling today, young man?

- Oh, hello.

I'm feeling a lot better, thanks for asking.

- You have a good heart,

looking after your ex-girlfriend's dog

even though she dumped you.

Takes a lot of forgiveness to do that.

Most people don't know how to forgive,

they just walk around with bitterness in their heart.

- Did I tell you that my ex-girlfriend dumped me last time?

- She comes here every day with her little one.

She and those ladies over there have a dog park friendship.

It's so entertaining to see people come together.

Sometimes out of loneliness,

and sometimes simply because they share something in common,

like a dog.

- I never see you here with a dog.

- Oh I don't have one.

- Then why do you come here?

- Dog spelled backwards is God.

I come here to experience God.

Looks like you'd like to mingle.

Do you just come here, collect numbers, and then go home?

- Oh, did you see that?

- I see everything.

- Well I haven't called any of them back.

Oh I don't know, I still can't seem

to get my ex off my mind.

- It's easy to confuse pride with sorrow.

It's not easy to be dumped.

It's a big blow to the ego.

But I think deep down you knew she wasn't truly the one.

When I first saw the two of you here,

he was playing with other dogs.

Now this beautiful soul stays right by your side,

to be sure you're okay.

She has a beautiful smile, doesn't she?

- [Nick] She does.

- There's a reason the rear view mirror

is smaller than the windshield.

When we look forward, the world opens up.

And when we look back, it gets smaller.

- You're right about that.

All these kind words, I never even got your name.

- Mary.

I'm Mary.

- See, people their age, call each other boo.

- Oh!

You're right.

Let's go.

- My boo takes care of his baby.

- You know it.

- Oh, whoa.

What the heck?

This place looks expensive!

- We'll just buy drinks.

- Yes!

- I love that he checks in, it makes our job much easier.

- I know!

I guess that's his new boo.

- That's okay, because soon we bout to.

- [Both] Wreck a boo!

- Almost blew our cover.

- So you guys met at the dog park, eh?

- Yes, and I was so impressed by how he adopted his dog!

- His dog!

- Jasmine, about that.

[clears throat]

- Adopted?

- And then he's drop dead gorgeous on top of it.

- He's gonna drop dead alright.

[laughing]

I think we got all the info we need.

- I think you're right!

- Dish and dash!

- Yeah we got the dish and now we gotta dash!

- And without even having to pay for those designer drinks!

- Nice work!

- Likewise, partner!

- Hey thanks for letting me stop by, by the way.

- Shhhh!

My wife's sleeping!

- Oh.

- She's not the nicest when she has her cramps.

- Gotcha, sorry.

- This is married life, man.

- Solid.

- Look Jay, I gotta tell Jas that Maxx is not my dog.

- Ooh, you calling her Jas now?

Okay!

- Oh, can I cut her name short

without asking if that's okay?

- It's cool man, chicks love that stuff!

[sighs]

- Yeah but just like you said they'd love the fact

that I adopted a dog?

- It worked, didn't it?

- Yes.

But, I don't know I had no idea that she and I

would go this far, okay?

What am I gonna when Sarah gets back in town?

- You got a point, man.

- That's it?

That's all you have to say for yourself?

- Homie, how was I supposed to know the rebound

was going to turn into the replacement?

- I'm gonna tell her today.

God I hope she doesn't hate me for it.

- You really like this girl, don't you?

- Yeah.

- I see you starting to fall for this dog, too.

- Yeah.

- Here's your player card back, man.

- I forgot you even had this!

Did you use it?

- Consulting fees.

- Fair.

- You didn't expect me to show up, did you?

- Wait, Ken you're upstaging her.

Okay let's do it again and this time, hit your mark please.

Alright let's reset.

In fact, let's take 10.

- For my directress.

- [Jasmine] Wow, a man who brings me flowers, I like!

- Yeah well, I'm a keeper.

[laughing]

Sorry, am I interrupting by the way?

I thought rehearsal would be over by now.

- Oh well it probably should be.

I think we're running this into the ground.

You know what, that's a wrap for today,

let's pick back up tomorrow.

- Look Jas, I have a bit of a confession to make.

- Oh.

I think we may have the place to ourselves.

- You, you know my dog, Maxx, my bulldog?

Well, so I haven't totally been... - Is he okay?

- Yeah, no he's fine.

- Oh then, maybe it can wait?

- Well.

- Theater seats aren't that comfortable but

I know a better place.

- Oh you naughty woman!

[laughing]

- This is supposed to be an abandoned hotel lobby.

- Well, let's make it real.

♫ Slow down ♫ Baby relax

♫ You and me have a chemistry I know you feel that

♫ But I know I'm way too strong let me chill back

♫ You knew me way too long now it's on

♫ Undo my heel strap ♫ Do like do I do

♫ All on my own too

- You sure do have a lot of friends.

- Yeah well it must be a bit nerve wracking

meeting them all at once.

- Just a little.

- Oh Rhonda, come here for a second.

- Thank you so much for hosting Game Night!

- Oh yeah, it was a great idea!

So, thank you!

[laughing]

- We finally get to meet Nick!

- Yes, finally!

- Uh-oh!

Time for Spades!

- My baby is my partner.

- So I guess it's Jas and Nick?

- Alright.

- Not with all that chemistry.

- Yeah and we standing back too, so y'all better not renig!

- And the deuces are high.

- And we're going blind six, right?

- Yep, blind six is the minimum.

- Okay.

- Why don't I let someone else play, because I...

- Do you not want to play with your girl!

- Well I would, but I have absolutely no idea

how to play this game.

- Oh that's right.

We've been hanging for so long and now Jas is your girl.

I totally forgot! - What?

- Forgot what?

- That he ain't black!

- Oh! Babe!

- Okay.

A couple of weeks ago, you were making fun of me

on the phone saying I'm trying too hard

by calling you bro.

- Yeah, I can see that.

- Well, why don't we let Sandy play?

- Man you must have been a teacher's pet?

- Why do you say that?

- Because how else would you have graduated high school,

man what do you and Sandy have in common?

- I don't know.

Height?

- Okay Nick, I'm going to need you to look at

everyone else here at the Spades table.

Anything similar?

Anything distinct?

- Come on, come on, leave him alone!

- Don't!

No, no, we need to figure this out.

- Okay.

Is that really?

- Okay we need a black person at the Spades table!

- Okay, no.

- Please!

- No, it's good, it's fine.

Don't worry about it, go on.

- Why did you do that!

- He can take it, he been taking it for years.

- Alright I guess you my partner.

- Alright!

- Y'all about to get set, just for that.

- So I like Operation: Wreck-a-Boo!

Now let's get it done.

But first, my new bae gave me my own credit card

with my own name and everything.

We're going shopping in the morning, girls!

- You're here!

♫ And I'll be ready to roll ♫ Ooh you feel me

♫ What's up what's up in the head

♫ It's time to get it and go - Welcome back.

♫ I-I-I just want to go crazy

- Hey chicka, you found you a good one!

[laughing]

- And here I am trying to find one at church!

Between amen and alleluia,

I'm checking hands for wedding bands!

[laughing]

- Hallelujah!

- Here Jas finds her true love at the dog park.

- Yeah but that's the thing, I didn't find anything.

I wasn't even looking.

- I was, on finder.com, sugarpoppa.com,

plentyofmen.com, and catch.com.

And wait, all the .coms you can think of.

And oh, none of them look even remotely like their picture.

- We met here too.

- Yeah, the dog park, better than any online dating!

- Oh!

- Well at least I met you guys here.

- You friends are nice to have.

- I agree, I met my husband at the supermarket.

- Does that really happen?

- I thought that only happened on TV.

[laughing]

- Well Jas we are all so happy for you.

You are just glowing lately!

That ex-husband of yours was just greedy.

- It's kind of like a cliche,

you know the handsome, rich guy who cheats on his wife.

Only I thought that if anyone would defy that stereotype

it would have been Terrence.

You know what I did,

I actually surprised my ex-husband at work

with nothing but a negligee underneath a trench coat.

And, then I found out that

the secretary beat me to the punch.

[murmuring]

So, you know I just, I dove into work.

And I just focused,

and I almost even came over to your side.

It turns out that God just didn't give me the gay gene, so.

[laughing]

- Well actually that doesn't really matter.

Cus everybody cheats.

It doesn't matter the gender or sexuality.

- It's true, we both dealt with that

in our past relationships.

But, it looks like you found yourself a keeper this time!

- [Rita] Here comes Nick now!

- Well, he's right on time!

As usual.

Doggy Daddy!

- Hey ladies.

- [All] Hi!

- Good to see you.

Sorry, don't meant to take her away from you here.

- We just want to see her happy.

- [Woman] Yeah you take care of her now, you hear?

- Just because I'm in a relationship, doesn't mean I'm going anywhere.

- Yeah.

- You know how someone disappears once they've boo'ed up.

- Aw, how cute even his dog loves her!

- I know!

And the feeling is mutual!

Who could not love that face?

[laughing]

- You guys look like one, big, happy family!

- It pretty much is, I mean with these dogs,

it's like having kids.

- Yeah we have a blended family.

[laughing]

- They jump on us and all sorts of things.

- Honey!

Honey?

I'm back, Babe.

- [Rita] What is that?

- Sarah. - Hi!

- What are you doing?

[gasps]

- There's my little angel, Maxx!

Did you miss your mommy?

- Nick, who's this?

- I'm Sarah, who are you?

- Sarah, I thought Sarah was your ex?

- Is that what he told you?

- I leave to go take care of my sick grandma,

and I come back to this!

- What are you doing!

- I don't know what's going on,

just give me my dob and I'm going home!

Give me his leash!

- Take it.

[scoffs]

- Come on, Maxxy baby, it's okay!

Mommy's gonna take care of you!

- She's taking Maxx, what!

- [Nick] Okay.

- Wait, wait, who's she?

- Okay, Maxx is her dog, but she's my ex.

Okay she's not my girlfriend.

- Oh my god!

- She's crazy!

Jas, Jas!

- Oh no, no, no!

I don't know who you are!

I don't know who you are, Nick!

- Jasmine!

- Nick, I think you better leave.

- [Nick] Ladies, just...

- The dog park is for people with dogs!

- Ladies, Jas.

- Oh no, no, no, no.

It's best you leave now.

- Just let me talk to her, okay!

Jasmine?

- Just go!

- Jasmine, I'm gonna call you, okay?

It's, it's not what it looks like!

- Bye!

- Ba-bye! - Bye!

- I'm gonna call you, okay?

I finally opened up again.

- I know.

And you may have to try again and again, and again.

But the answer is not to give up.

Well how the hell is anyone supposed to do that?

How do you do it?

- Of course not, it would be no fun now.

I didn't want to leave you guys hanging,

plus I need to get out of the house so, here I am.

- Oh, Babe get him a glass of wine.

What happened, Sweetie?

- Well, she figured out that Maxx isn't my dog,

amongst other things.

- Well why on earth would you lie to her about that anyway?

- Well, I had this friend who thought

that it'd be a good idea to tell her that Maxx was my dog,

and that I adopted him from the shelter.

- Who would give you that kind of crazy advice?

Who in the hell!

Oh hell no.

Jaquan Tyrell Davis!

- Okay, okay.

I was just trying to help Nick with his game.

- Game.

How does somebody with no game

teach someone how to run game?

- Well you see that's the thing,

my game is that I have no game.

That's how I got you, right Babe?

- Eh you got a point. [laughing]

But you done messed up his love life with your foolery.

- After Empire.

Food's in there on the stove.

- But we DVR it!

- Can we eat without you?

I'm hungry, okay?

I didn't eat before I came here.

It's a dinner party.

- Are you sure this is the right dog park?

- Yeah, this is it.

I remember all them dogs right there.

I don't see them yet though, I don't know where they at.

[dogs barking]

Baby, you think we should get a dog?

- I already have one.

[growls]

- Last time I was here, Jasmine and her friends were sitting over there.

- Well let's go see if they know her.

- [Jay] So Baby, you think I'm a big dog or a little dog?

[barks]

- You're a little dog, with a big bite though.

[woofs]

You're still in the doghouse though.

You're still in the doghouse.

- Baby I'm making things better.

- No, no, no, no.

- Can you wait for me please?

- Well hurry up!

- Geez!

- It's getting pretty late, do you think they're coming?

- I don't know.

I hope they do, though.

Is that them?

- Is that them, you tell me.

You've been at the park before I was!

- I think that might be them.

- Are you sure?

- I think so, let's go see.

- Hi ladies.

- Hey.

- We were wondering, if you all knew someone

by the name of Jasmine?

She's a beautiful young lady with a little dog.

- Yes, is she okay?

- Probably not.

That's because my husband did something stupid.

- Yeah, I convinced Nick, the guy she's been dating,

to do something I think might have really hurt her.

- And who are you?

- I'm his best friend.

- Listen, whatever you did, I doubt any of us

will want to help you, or him.

- I'm sorry, what's your name?

- Rita.

- Rita, I'm Jaquan... - Listen Jayquain...

- Jay, Jaquan.

- You know, whatever you convinced him to do,

shame on you!

And shame on him for doing it!

- Please!

Please!

It took a lot for him to come down here

and ask for your help so, please.

Just listen to what the man has to say.

And you can call him Jay.

Go on.

- So my boy was struggling,

and he was trying to pick up girls,

and I told him to lie and say the dog was his.

- [Man] You didn't expect me to show up, did you?

- No, I did.

Wait, wait, wait, I don't think

my character should say it like that.

- Then how do you think he would say it?

- Like this.

Next time you try to sneak up on me... - Jasmine.

- Terrence?

Listen, tomorrow is opening night,

and you bring this to me now?

Just say it however you want.

It's a wrap for tonight, I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Great job.

What are doing here, Terrence?

- Your celebrity actor still changing your script?

- Why are you here?

- Well I used to be part owner of this,

and I figured I'd just... - And I bought you out.

- Okay.

I thought enough time may have passed, for the anger to

subside but, first I want to apologize, for everything.

- So why do you think that "everything"

is this magic word without taking responsibility

for anything specific?

- I understand, you're angry.

But I don't want us to be enemies.

You were my best friend.

As well as my wife, why do we have to hate each other?

You busy now?

Can I show you something?

[sighs]

- Alright, I guess I'm not doing anything, okay.

Oh my god.

- I added this to the house a few months ago.

I remember how much you love the planets and stars,

galaxies.

- It's beautiful.

- Take a look.

- [Jasmine] Oh, Jupiter is crystal clear tonight.

- I got a peek at Europa the other night.

- Europa?

What do you know about Europa?

- When I built this, a part of me hoped

one day we would reconcile.

And, the other part thought it'd be cool

to have an observation deck.

But when I come out here, I relax

and I just look through the scope

or look up at the sky on a dark night.

I can see why you were always

so fascinated with the heavens.

It's humbling.

You know?

Let's me know that there is something

so much bigger than me.

Look, Precious.

- It's Jasmine.

Terrence, you no longer have the right to call me nicknames.

- Okay.

Jasmine, I was an arrogant fool.

I prayed for success, lots of money,

a beautiful wife, and when the universe gave it all to me,

I took it, without giving anything back.

- Yeah, well why are you telling me this?

- Because I want you back.

- Yeah.

- Are you sleeping with him?

- Girl no!

I'm just barely getting over Nick!

- Yeah, that would be a very good reason

to start sleeping with your ex-husband.

- Yeah I can't say I'm above sleeping with my ex-husband.

Even if he is married.

- Okay, we'll get back to you later.

What's going on with you and Terrence?

- He just showed up at the theater, out of the blue.

- After all this time?

- That's like deja vu.

- I know, that's what I'm saying, why now?

- It's like they can sense when you're moving on.

- Yeah, it's like I've been feeling stuck

for the past three years and then

now that there was someone else in the picture,

here comes Terrence!

- Maybe he saw you online?

- Girl no, Terrence does not have time

to be a social media stalker.

- You never know.

- So you think he just showed up with no reason.

- I think he showed up for the wrong reason.

- Girl would you stop it, I seriously doubt that Terrence...

- Did you post any pics of you and Nick?

- Well, yeah.

- Okay so when did you post and when did he show up?

- Okay look, I posted around,

oh see that picture, that was the first one and then I,

and then he showed up around.

No way.

- My ex did the same thing.

- Told you.

- But Terrence isn't like, wow.

Let me just double check this.

"I miss you, Nick."

Oh god. [sighs]

- Delivery came for you.

- Oh, who's it from?

"Good luck on the opening of your show tonight, Terrence."

Oh, wow.

So nice.

Thanks for coming.

Good to see you, hey!

Thank you for coming out!

Group hug, congratulations!

Alright.

- Congratulations on a great show.

- Thank you.

- You got plans now?

Can we talk?

- Sure.

- Yeah?

It was a great show.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- I'm glad you came.

- Beautiful show tonight.

Your writing and directing have grown so much.

- Well thank you but it's been three years,

and you haven't come to one of my shows.

- Yeah, I didn't want to come too soon, I don't know.

- You know Terrence, if this were three years ago,

things may have been different.

I mean, I may have even forgiven you,

because you were my husband.

Not some random boyfriend,

and sometimes marriages are worth fighting for.

- Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do, I just.

- You know, I gave you the floor, now please.

Let me speak because.

There's this window,

and it's a brief period of time

that you have to redeem yourself.

And with time, that window gets smaller and smaller.

I'm not saying that I would have taken you back for sure,

but there was a time that I missed you so much

that even infidelity may have been something

we could have worked through with a therapist.

But where were you, Terrence?

When I was hoping and praying that you would apologize,

or give me a call, or do half the things you're doing now?

- I didn't feel worthy.

I just, I couldn't face you then.

Alright?

But I'm here, now.

- Now, you always did have swag!

You groomed me well then and you are attempting to do it now

and if I were in the same place that I was three years ago,

it may have worked again.

I mean, the observation deck and rare coins?

You know, with all your good looks,

and your game, and your swag,

I can see that you are a changed man.

But,

I have to admit that when I went

on my morning jog this morning and I looked

at my application on my watch,

I realized that it's designed by the man that I do love.

- So you're in love with someone?

- Yeah, but.

It's over between he and I, so I.

- So did he miss the window too?

- Well, technically he's still in the window.

- I can,

respect that.

10 years ago, I would have stormed out of here

with a deflated ego.

I would have tried to punish you in some way

for having the gall to turn me down.

But I learned how to truly love,

and because I love you,

I want you to be happy.

Don't let what I did ruin it for the next person.

Oh, by the way.

I make a great friend.

- Wow.

- I'm sorry I missed the window.

So hopefully you're here to adopt your forever friend.

- Thank you for meeting me unannounced.

I wanted to get to you before the others.

- Others?

- I saw a few of the other networks at your premier,

last night, and I'm quite sure

that you'll be getting other offers.

- Wait, what offers?

I wanted to offer you the opportunity

to develop your stage play into a TV show.

And you don't have to give up your theater.

You may have to hire someone

to run it from time to time, but.

- Wait a minute, you had me at TV show.

I've been pitching my show ideas to networks for years.

Why now?

- Well when you do something that gets our attention,

and that has the buzz that you did last night,

we come to you.

- Buzz?

There's buzz?

What?

- Look, you don't have to do anything.

Your story idea was amazing.

And I just wanted to come down and see how it was executed.

- You should know that it's just me,

I don't have some big team around me,

I do it all around here.

- We'll build your team.

You're a great writer/director.

And if you give me first dibs,

I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.

- Wow.

I don't know what to say.

- Well, think about it.

- Okay.

- Give me a call.

- Okay, thanks.

- So I been with you to the dog pound, the dog park,

and now we doin' doggie play time.

With a bunch of tiny dogs.

Are we ever gonna watch a football game again in our lives?

- Well, we DVR them.

- It's not the same as watching them live!

- Well, the shelter said that socialization is good for her

so she stays used to being around other dogs.

I can't go to the other dog park, that's for sure.

Just, had to be on football Sunday.

- Doesn't anyone here watch football!

Hey.

It's Wifey, I'll be back.

So, how's it going?

You're looking a little sullen.

- It's funny Mary, I only seem to run into you

when I'm going through a breakup.

- Do you love her?

Yes, I can see it, it's all over you.

It shines through, even when you're down.

It doesn't come often.

- Well I've never felt like this before.

- So why don't you try to get her back?

- She won't even talk to me.

- The kind of love you feel for her doesn't only go one way.

Trust me, she feels the same.

You're a genuine young man,

I guess there's nothing you could have done

that can't be fixed, so fix it.

♪ (thoughtful music) ♪

It's time to start my rounds.

Enjoy your afternoon, young man.

- Alright, okay.

Yo, you ready?

Rhonda needs me to pick up some things from the store.

- Yeah. [clears throat]

- You alright?

- Yeah, it's that, she always says

the most profound things to me.

- Who?

- Mary.

That woman I was just sitting with.

- The sun must be getting to you man,

cus you're seeing things.

I saw you sitting here by yourself.

- What do you mean?

Wait, you just walked by her?

- Okay, well let's get you home, upsie daisy.

- No, seriously.

[phone buzzes]

- Hello.

- Hi.

- [Jasmine] Hi.

- Now that you answered, I don't even know what to say.

Look, I screwed up in a major way by not telling you

the truth about Maxx.

But Sarah is not my girlfriend.

Okay, she's my ex.

- Well then why are there pictures of you

all over the internet?

- What?

No, Jasmine those are old.

Those aren't anything.

- Nick, how would I eve know if you're telling the truth?

- You're right, you wouldn't.

But before you, I was wasting time

with that person you're seeing on the screen.

Okay, since I met you, all the alarms went off.

I woke up, and I realized that what I had with her

wasn't even real.

Can you imagine if I'd gone my whole life,

thinking that was love?

- Not telling the truth?

That isn't love.

- You're right, it was wrong.

Okay, but I'm so sorry.

- [Jasmine] I appreciate you calling Nick,

but I just can't trust you.

- Jas?

[game playing on TV]

You must be hungry.

- I can't believe I'm actually watching the game, live!

I don't know when this will happen again,

so my friend I am getting it in.

- Yeah well Sunshine here doesn't have to go the park

at special hours.

- That's good.

So every time I come here, it seems like you on the couch,

don't you have a bedroom man?

- Eh I prefer the couch when I'm single.

- Looks like you been there a while!

- Sine Jas left, it's been that way.

- Well, why don't we change that?

Why don't you download a dating app?

- [Nick] What!

- Yeah.

- No way!

My colleagues will see me on that.

- If your colleagues see you on there,

that means they're on there too.

- You do make good points.

- You never know man, that's how Rhonda and I met.

- What, we didn't have dating apps in college.

- She answered my personal ad.

- Like in the newspaper?

- Yeah.

- Who puts personal ads in the newspaper

when they're in college?

- I'm more of a teddy bear than you think, my friend!

Anyway, don't I look sensitive?

- Well, you learn something new every day.

- It wasn't cool to say that kind of stuff till recently.

- Wait, I told a whole story about you and Rhonda

meeting in Atlanta at Freaknik,

when I was making the toast at your wedding.

- Yeah, we like that story better.

It was funny, right?

- It was hilarious, and I believed it.

I was lying to your whole family.

- It's alright man, who actually believes

that anyone marries anyone they meet at Freaknik?

- Me, apparently.

- I mean that's why they call it Freaknik.

It's a freaky picnic, Freaknik.

- Well I thought you and Rhonda met in a freaky picnic.

For years now.

- It's okay friend, you're gonna be okay.

- What!

- Yeah boy!

- These refs are garbage.

- They are skilled, they're the best at their crafts.

- Here's to our new show!

It's going to be great.

We have the best show writer in the business.

- We love your pilot.

- Thank you.

- We've been getting a lot of thin scripts lately,

but your script is just amazing.

There's a lot of unexpected twists and turns.

- I have a good feeling about this, it'll be a hit.

- I mean your characters are so developed, so unique.

Hugs all around?

- Alright!

- Another round.

- Oh, I haven't finished this one yet. [laughing]

- So why did you pick me?

- Well, swiped right and 'sup.

- Have you ever dated like this before?

- Yeah well.

- Wait don't tell me you're one of those

serial internet daters.

- Well, we actually met on an app, remember?

You just said internet, we actually met via application.

Do you know the, no?

Think so, so pretty much thinks that

apps and internet are the same thing.

Wrong, not the same thing, and you know people actually think that apps are going to

take over for the internet one day, which that's like a dream come true for my team.

- Wait.

Am I on Candid Camera?

- Candid?

- Where are the cameras?

- I can't believe you even know about that show.

- This is so cool!

I knew it!

I'm going to be on TV!

- That show hasn't been on the air for years.

Am I being Punk'd?

- Are you crazy?

That show has not been on TV in like forever.

- There's no cameras.

So, I don't know what here.

- Sandy your dress is so pretty.

- Oh thank you!

I was trying to match my eyes a little bit.

- Yeah it really worked, Jas what do you, you okay hon?

- Yeah, yeah I'm getting better.

Listen, I am so sorry that I haven't

made time for you ladies.

With the new play that I was doing and...

- There's no explanation necessary.

You had an award-winning show!

- Woo!

- I mean cheers to that, first of all!

You needed to focus.

- Yeah focused so much that I forget about my girls!

It was all about and my new man.

- Yeah, a man we didn't meet

until you were knee deep in love, by the way.

- Oh you know I don't introduce my new man

to friends that soon!

I feel it, it could jinx the relationship.

- Well you posted it online.

- No I didn't post it, he posted it and tagged me!

I move slower than that, you know.

- Well we knew we'd meet him when and if you were ready.

- Do you think it was fear?

- You know I'm not afraid of much.

- No, no, I think you have a point.

She may not have trusted it was gonna go anywhere.

- Those trust issues may have kicked in again.

- Again?

I haven't dated seriously in like three years so...

- My point exactly!

- You didn't even have to pay a therapist for that!

You're welcome.

Now what'd you make us today?

- Oh girl, I just put it all in. [laughing]

- Oh yeah!

- The whole bar! [laughing]

- You must be Cindy.

Hey, Nick.

- I don't shake hands.

- More of a hugger?

Me too. - I don't touch!

At all.

Until the spirits say it's okay.

I asked you here so that I could read your energy.

You first.

♪ (ethereal music) ♪

Don't touch!

The stone must first speak to you!

- Speak to me?

- Shhh!

Just listen.

Hear anything?

- I heard a crick in the floor.

- Great choice!

- Drusy Chrysocolla.

- [Nick] Druly what?

- Close your fist and feel its energy.

Now, I'll just need your date of birth.

Not just the month, but the month, day, and year.

As well as time of birth.

That's important to know before we have children because...

- Yeah, actually I have to put money in the meter.

So read that and I'll be right back.

Stay right where you are. - But you can't leave!

The stars are aligned!

- So Wilma, have you ever ridden a horse before?

- No I haven't.

I'm a little bit nervous.

- Hi!

- [Stable Hand] Hi.

- She looks like a nice one.

- [Stable Hand] Oh she's a good one, Gracie's for beginners.

- Perfect.

- Look at her eyes.

- I know, aren't they beautiful?

- Why is she staring at me!

- [Stable Hand] Oh she's just saying hello.

- I feel like she can see my soul!

I want to go home!

- Well this was your idea.

Wilma, I asked you to choose something,

and you chose this, you just want to leave?

- That was before she could see inside of me.

I never want to do this again!

- I don't think she's going to have to worry about that one.

- Tasha?

- Nick?

- What are you doing here!

- What are you doing here, I'm riding!

- Oh.

- What, a black girl can't ride horses?

- No.

No, I mean, you can ride horses.

Totally, it's up to you.

I wasn't staying that, it's not weird.

[laughing]

- I got you, I got you!

I'm just teasing, Nick.

- It's funny, I actually I was just recently

dating a girl and she told me she used to ride.

- You?

Date another black woman who rides horses?

- Yeah, that's what she told me.

- And she actually rides?

- Yeah, she got on, you know.

- Well you need to get her in the Guinness Book,

because we don't go anywhere near horses,

swimming pools, skinny dipping, skis,

or anything else cold, for that matter.

And we refuse to mess up our weaves in a convertible.

- Oh no, she didn't have a weave.

No, I mean not that there's anything wrong with, I wouldn't mind if she did have a weave.

I mean you, is that a weave?

I can never tell.

- So you know her like that eh?

- Yeah, I did know her like that.

- Then why are you here with Olive Oil?

- I don't know.

But I should probably get back to it.

I'll see ya later, Tasha.

- Have a good ride, Nick.

- Thank you.

- Well, I must say all dog parks are not created equal.

- [Nick] We can't go to the other one anymore.

- [Jay] Why not, it's a free world?

- Jay, Jasmine will be there,

and she doesn't want anything to do with me.

- This is not even the time of day she goes, man.

- Well, I bet one of her friends will be there.

- Have you ever seen her friends there

at this time of day?

- Come on man, look at your dog!

You need some real doggie friends.

- Okay.

- These dogs are bouzy.

- I get the hint.

Sunshine is miserable.

Alright, let's go. - Come on.

- Go ahead, girl.

Man, there's like no one here today.

- Yeah, but the right people will be there.

- What?

What are you getting into philosophy now?

- [Jay] Nostradamus.

- [Nick] Oh.

So when are we going to get you a dog?

[laughing]

- Rhonda thinks I'm dog enough.

- Get you a nice poodle, even things out.

- Poodle, eh?

I'm more of a big dog kind of dude.

- Where's your dogs?

- Oh I left him at the house today.

- I guess I'm the only one to bring Duke today?

- Yeah, dropping another one.

- Alright Duke, here we go, go for it!

Come on!

- Nice!

- Rhonda, I'm so happy you're going to volunteer

with us for the shelter today!

- I'm excited, I've never done this before.

- That's Nick!

What's he doing here?

- Just trust us.

- Did you guys know about this?

- All of us did.

- What!

Where's Duke, I can't do this right now.

- Jas, Jas, come on.

Listen to what he has to say first.

Come on.

- Jay, did you know about this?

- Come on.

- I can't believe you guys did this.

- Just go talk to her, man.

- Jasmine, you should know that my husband

thinks he's got game and tried rope Nick

in his shenanigans.

- He told you that Maxx was his dog to try to impress you.

Stupid, but forgivable.

- And Sarah is his ex.

She's just being a hater right now.

- Look, what we're basically trying to say is that,

almost all of this is my fault.

And we can't have y'all miserable over a misunderstanding.

- Just, let me talk.

♪ (inspiring piano music) ♪

Look Jasmine, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you

the truth about Maxx.

But, you have to believe me when I tell you that

there's nothing between Sarah and me.

Jas, I know that in your heart, you trust me.

And if you could just follow that, I promise you

that I will make it up to you 1,000 times.

- In my spirit, I know who you are.

It was fear, that prevented me from forgiving you.

So, for that I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry too.

And these two!

- I told you I had your back, man.
