being away from you.

Who is this man and what did you do with Mike?

Previously onBruh...

Thank you for dropping our boy off.

No, no, no, Pam's staying. My boys ain't cool with that,

then I guess it was nice seeing you.

At one point, I was so sure

I would be Mrs. Michael Alexander.

Now that picture isn't so crystal clear.

You act like you want something

and then when it's time for you to put in the effort,

you don't.

You sure that's not your husband?

I'm way too careful for that.

-Fuck. -I'm pregnant.

That was...

Really nice.

I was gonna say "electric."

"Electric" is good.

I was thinking like "dynamic."

"Dynamic" is... That's good.

Look, I, um, I think I should go.

Hold on. Where you going?

I... What was that, Greg?

It was a kiss and I liked it.

Didn't you?

Yeah, but why did you do that?

I mean, we agreed that we would just be friends, right?

Right. Yeah.

So, I mean, friends don't kiss like that.

Well, exactly how do friends kiss?

They don't usually.

Listen, I have to be honest with you.

I'm no interested in just casually engaging with you.

-You're not? -No.

Look, I've been down this road before.

What road is that?

Being hurt, let down, and, ultimately, heartbroken.

Which terrifies me.

-Darla, listen. -Listen.

Just let me talk.

I wanna be chased, courted, wooed.

I want romance.

And most of all, I need to be respected.

I'm for real and so are my feelings.

And if you can't do that, then we can't do this.

I'll talk to you later.

Hey, go, go, go.

Coach Hebron, how do you intend

on disrupting Cascade's powerful defense tomorrow?

Well, we gonna have to be patient,

move the ball around, and play up-tempo.

You're coming off a four-game losing streak

following the injury of your lead scorer.

How do you plan on snapping that streak

against Cascade State tomorrow?

Thankfully, we have some shooters on our squad.

Now, our big man is down,

but he will return in a few weeks.

Until then, everyone's doing their part

and, hopefully, we will break that streak tomorrow night.

-Thanks, Coach. -Yeah, you got it.

-All right. -Good luck.

Thank you.

What you need to do is be more aggressive

and press their offense.

That might force some steals

and, you know, maybe turn this season around,

and maybe you won't lose your job.

Is that who I think it is?

The great Coach Hebron in the building.

Frazier!

I haven't seen you in years!

How you doing?

You know, I've been around.

Look at you.

Still look like you can get down in the paint.

I mean, you know, I still got it, so...

Yeah, well, soon enough,

those knees of yours, they gonna have a mind of their own.

They already do.

Well, you know, they've gotten better over the years, for sure.

Right.

So what brings you out?

Um, I mean, you know. Got a big game in town tomorrow.

I mean, you know, I ain't seen you in a while.

So I figured...

And you want some tickets, right?

I mean, that's not what I came here for,

but if you got a couple laying around,

I'm happy to take them off your hands.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you what I told my wife,

her friends, and my daughter's husband.

I ain't got no more.

Look, I ain't asking for eight, Coach, all right?

I don't need eight. I just need two.

I see.

You know what? For you,

I can get you in the cheap seats.

But don't tell anybody.

I ain't gonna tell nobody.

That's cold. That's cold, man.

But I take it that's not why you came down here,

so what's on your mind?

No, can I take you to, like, lunch

or dinner or something?

I got a lot on my mind

and I just wanted to run something by you.

Of course you can. You know that.

Well... well, I know a place,

you know, where all these reporters won't bother you.

Good 'cause I'm tired of talking to them.

Look, give me a few minutes.

I'm gonna go talk to these boys

and I'll be right back.

-All right. See you, man. -All right.

-All right, man. -All right.

Coach loves you guys.

Stick around for a little bit.

-Ah, thank you. -Thanks.

Morning.

Dr. Brooks, my smartest physician.

How goes it?

Oh, not bad. Just had a little time

in between rounds,

so had to skip breakfast, figured I'd eat something.

I remember when I had time to eat during my shift.

I look forward to doing that again.

Really? Why?

Because I wanted to let you know

that my time here is coming to an end.

Really? How come?

Because I'm old.

Sir, you're not old.

I'm 74.

Sir, that's not old.

I've overstayed my welcome.

The pace here has been too much for me.

Fortunately, I was able to keep up

but not anymore.

Well, you'll certainly be missed, sir.

You ran a tight ship.

Thank you, Dr. Brooks.

But now I feel the position to be passed

to someone who can pick up where I left off,

someone a lot younger.

You already have someone in mind?

You.

Me?

Yeah. I have been watching and taking notes.

You were naively ambitious when you first started,

but your excellence has been proven

time and time again,

which is why I think

you will be awesome as the chief physician

of Walker Lee Medical Center.

Wow. Well... Thank you, sir. I...

What about my run-in with Dr. Jarvis?

Because you wanted to go above and beyond

to help a patient?

No, you listened to her.

Again, that's why I think you're perfect

for this position.

Maybe you can influence the board

to invest in better technology.

Those are actually better for communication in the hospital.

It's a frequency thing.

What? You see? Time and time again.

We'll talk.

Yes, sir.

...to exceed our gold membership to be a platinum associate.

You can change your life, your family's life,

by investing in your future today.

Hey, Ma.

-Oh, good. You finally here. -What?

Now I can take a break.

Ma, we just opened up a few hours ago.

What do you mean taking a break?

'Cause I been running around like crazy

for them folks over there.

What is all this?

It's a group meeting or something.

That lady getting on my nerves.

Can I have a sandwich without the edges on the bread?

Do you have pumpernickel?

Does it look like we got a damn pumpernickel?

No, we ain't got that.

No, uh-uh. She ended up getting a sandwich

with the lettuce on the outside instead of the inside.

I mean, she's watching her figure.

That shit ain't that tight.

My shit tighter than that!

Don't worry about it. I got it.

She is tight, though.

Real tight.

Here we have some... Oh!

Oh, let me get that for you.

I got it, I got it. Oh!

I got you.

Don' worry about it.

Everything all right. Everybody all right?

-All right. -You see this?

This is initiative.

I'm initiative?

He didn't wait for me to tell him there was a problem

that needed to be solved.

He knew what had to be done.

I did.

You are truly an example of a blessing.

Let's take five.

-I'm a blessing, huh? -Yes.

My momma don't ever call me that. It's crazy.

She all like, "You a curse from hell!"

-Oh, no. -It's really nice to know.

-It's all good, though. -No.

Not at all. I'm sorry. I'm such a klutz.

That's no problem at all.

I got you. It's all good.

Where are my manners? Hi. Hi.

-I'm Rayne. Nice to meet you. -Rayne, pleasure to meet you.

I'm John.

Is it like, "I can't stop the rain," Rain,

or a different Rain?

Cute. No. More like, "Hey, I be makin' it rain."

Okay, I like that too.

I'm trying to get my money on. You heard me?

I can't take credit. My parents were tying to be creative.

That's a nice name, though.

-Nice. -Yeah.

So, Rayne, um, what you got going on over here?

Well, I'm a brand ambassador

for Daily Blessings Incorporated.

Oh, yeah, you don't want me to touch it.

I got you. It's product. Respect.

Um, now what's the name?

Daily Blessings Incorporated.

Okay, nice, and what's that?

We essentially change lives, one product at a time.

This is a multi-vitamin

that comes in pill, powder, or liquid form.

It treats any kind of condition, improves eyesight,

and has been known to boost your libido.

I'm sorry. Well, I'm good on the libido.

My libido is limpy.

Amen to that, sister.

Okay, so how do I get started?

And does it help with weight-loss too?

'Cause I'm trying to smooth out my curves.

Certainly. In fact, I have a photo

of what I looked like when I first started.

Damn! I'm so sorry.

I had something in my throat.

You still look very beautiful.

I like the outfit you got on. That's cute.

Thank you. Well, I'm happy

to assist you with the onboarding process.

All right, bet. So how I get started?

We just need a $1,500 investment to get started.

-Damn! -Damn!

-I'm good. -$1,500?

Ain't that expensive?

Yes, for those who don't have the vision, it is.

But I do believe you have the vision, John.

I do?

Yes. I think you would make a great asset to our team.

For real? A asset?

An asset.

I like assets.

You can even sell some of the products here in the shop.

Wait, this is your establishment, right?

Oh, yeah, this is all me right here,

um, like senior level management,

you know, like, slash owner.

Yeah, I do this, though. Yeah,

I got assets too. You know what I mean?

No.

-Yeah. -Yeah, but, no,

that makes sense.

I knew you were the perfect guy for this.

-You did? -Yes.

You have gumption.

I got gumption?

You're confident.

I am confident.

You're a leader.

I am a leader.

You are a man of excellence.

I love excellence.

You have the business acumen

that you can make thousands of dollars a week.

I have the business... What's the word again?

-Acumen. -Acumen.

I got the business acu-punct... Acupuncture.

Acumen.

And you said I can make how much?

Thousands in a week.

-How much? In a week? -Thousands.

In a week.

You... You bullshitting.

Here's a check of what you can make.

Damn! In a week?

A slow week.

-That's a slow week? -A slow week.

That's a slow fast-ass week right there.

That is a blessing.

Yes, it is.

So let me be your blessing.

Bless me.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking me to lunch today.

You're welcome. Now what's--what's going on?

Why'd you sound so stressed out on the phone?

That obvious, huh?

Girl, what has you all bothered?

Mike. What else?

I think I'm finally done.

Oh. So we're finally there.

Absolutely.

I mean, I love him.

A part of me will always love him,

but I have to start putting me first again.

Okay. Well, what finally pushed you over the edge?

Last night. I lied to him.

I told him I was too tired to have sex.

But the truth is, Regina, I'm, honestly,

I'm so emotionally drained.

I don't wanna breathe any more life into that relationship.

So it's over-over, like, officially?

Uh-huh.

I think so.

My heart can't take that kind of drama.

I just need to protect it.

Oh, no, it sounds like you're trying to convince yourself.

You think so?

Pamela, it's gonna take a lot of time, okay?

Like, your heart was wrapped up with that man.

You just have to be honest with yourself, either way.

Damn, you're right.

I'm sorry.

I've been talking about Mike and my problems, and...

How are you?

How are you and Bill doing?

Girl, good old Bill

had the nerve to have another woman

in our apartment!

-What? -Mm-hmm. Yeah!

Yeah.

-Did you know her? -No, I didn't know her.

Never seen her in my life.

She's cute, I will say that.

-He has good taste. -Okay, Regina...

And she's married! She's married.

You know, he's messing up somebody else's marriage?

-Regina... -And then on top of that...

Regina.

Yo, what's going on?

Regina.

Regina.

I'm pregnant.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Regina.

Well, you won't be needing this.

Cheers.

-I hate you. -I'm sorry.

That was insensitive, but...

So you been out all night

'cause your wife came home and caught you in the bed.

-Yeah. -You let her in?

Uh, I'm...

Nah, she kind of forced her way in.

Right.

Finds your little side piece who is also married?

Yeah.

Did I miss anything?

She says she's pregnant.

Your side piece?

Nah, my wife.

Billy.

What's wrong with you?

You on drugs?

No, I don't know, Coach. I just...

Shit.

Ever since we got married, we just been clashing

and bumping heads all the time.

Okay. Let's back up for a minute, okay?

Maybe I missed something, but explain to me

how you just got married and now you already cheating.

Things just happened fast,

so we went down to the courthouse and...

Wait, the courthouse?

So no wedding, no electric slide,

no cake and all that good stuff?

-I mean, none of that? -None of that.

-None. -Why not?

Well, she was about to marry this other guy

and I kind of intervened.

"Kind of intervened"?

You... You broke up her wedding?

Yeah. And there was a big fight and everything,

and after that, I just pursued her like crazy.

Until she married you.

Man, your life is like a Ron Isley record.

I love her. I couldn't lose her.

I'm disappointed.

No, you wouldn't understand, Coach.

I wouldn't understand?

I'm a man.

I've been a man longer than you.

And you acting like a spoiled child.

Nah, relax, Coach, just...

No. You are.

There will always be beautiful women out here.

You ain't got to stick your dick in every one of them.

So what should I do, man?

You gotta stand up and be a man.

Manhood is a dimension you gotta walk in.

All right? You playing a dangerous game.

Dangerous? How you figure that?

Oh, I don't know. Uh, STIs?

Ex-husbands?

Scorned, vindictive women?

All of that is dangerous.

Yeah, you right.

Now, you see, all this drama and chaos,

it can only lead to dark places.

You remember when your free-throw percentage

was sub-30%?

Man...

Go somewhere with that, Coach. Thirty percent?

-It was. -That was worse than Shaq.

-No, it wasn't that bad. -It was.

And I had you stay in that gym after practice,

had you shooting free throws hundreds of times

until you got better.

Yeah, I think my percentage jumped up

to, like, 83% then.

'Cause you disciplined yourself

and you focused on what was in front of you.

Go home.

Step up to your marriage.

And focus on only what's important,

your wife and your child.

Ain't nothing out here in these streets.

Yeah. Thanks, Coach.

Now buy me another drink.

Can we get a couple more, bartender?

-Yeah. -Couple shots, man.

I wasn't 30, though.

I wasn't. Nah, Coach. No.

I was being generous.

Cancel that drink.

Oh, it's like that, huh?

All right, thank you. I appreciate that.

Hey. Dr. Brooks,

I just wanted to give this to you

and get your thoughts on the proposition.

Yeah, sir, um, I, um...

I'm not sure that it is something I can do.

Why not, man? You've got it all.

I mean, you are a natural leader

amongst all the residents.

And with you all being in close age proximity,

you would be like a Near-peer mentor.

I understand that, I just...

It's such a huge time commitment.

Oh, absolutely.

And more money.

But you would have to put yourself last

in a lot of cases.

It is definitely a sacrifice.

I know.

You have no family, do you?

I mean, you are single, if I'm correct?

Yeah. Yeah, unfortunately.

Oh, that's perfect.

If you were married,

I definitely wouldn't have offered it to you.

Don't tell anyone I said that.

I won't.

But if you have nobody at home

who's worrying about you

and you are not worrying about someone,

you don't have a dog or a cat,

then you will have more time to focus on this position.

Take it from me, I know.

Sir, did you ever get remarried?

I took a swing at it.

I missed, terribly.

My career needed me more.

But now I have more time to see what's out there.

Well, I certainly have nothing or no one

that would keep me from being fully committed.

Excellent.

But I still wanna think about it.

Certainly.

I'm not making any announcement just yet.

Think on it.

Will do, sir.

How much more time does he think he has?

Okay.

-All right. Time to settle up. -Absolutely.

Okay, now, the remaining balance is...

Here you go.

You can keep the change.

Shit, you ain't gotta tell me twice.

So how was everything?

Everything was perfect.

I even had a spill

and that cute guy over there helped me clean it up.

Your shop is wonderful.

Cute guy?

Yeah. John.

Oh, what? If you say so.

But, uh, one of my employees said that

that stuff helps with libido.

It certainly can.

I mean, don't get me wrong

You know what I'm saying? Let me put that out there.

You know, I got them coming and going.

But let's just say I have a slightly seasoned friend

who may need some encouragement. You know what I mean?

I think I do.

Here's a sample.

Oh, shit.

I like your style.

-You come back. -Uh-huh. I got you.

So you gonna join our team or what?

That price, it's tough.

I tell you what, this one's on me.

Say what?

I see great potential in you, John.

I'll waive the fee for you because I believe in you.

-You believe in me? -Yes.

I'll sign you up underneath me,

website, and everything.

You'll sign me underneath you?

Underneath my name.

Underneath you?

My name, mm-hmm.

Hold on, give me a...

Give me a moment. I'm sorry.

It's just, you caught me off guard.

I appreciate that. That's unexpected.

I... Thank you. I don't know how to thank you.

No, thank you

for allowing me to rain down a blessing on you.

Rayne, you can rain down a blessing on me

as much as you want.

Thank you so much.

You welcome. I'll talk to you soon, okay?

-Okay. Bye, Rayne. -Bye.

All right, bye.

That is a blessing.

She blessed and I'm back to being rich!

Ma, you understand?

She done tricked your ass.

No, I'm...shit, okay.

You'll see. I'm about to be rich!

Oh, that's right? Done tricked your ass...

Oh, man!

Don't run up on me like that.

I need help, I need help. He's looking for me.

-Say what? -He's looking for me.

Who's looking for you?

-Oh, shit. Laura! -I'm sorry, I should go.

No, no, no. Go in the back.

Laura, take her in the back.

Claudia!

May I help you?

I know my wife just came in here. Claudia!

Ain't nobody run up in here.

Where is she? I saw her come in here just now!

Look, you gonna have to buy something if you gonna stay.

Stop playing these fucking games in here, Claudia.

-Ma, you okay? -Yeah.

Yes, I am.

This man was just about to leave before I call the police.

Hey, bro, it's time to go, man.

It's time to go.

I'm gonna leave now, Claudia.

Who are you talking to?

That nigga crazy.

I will find you, though, because I'm your husband!

Momma, what the fuck is wrong with him?

I'm sorry. He's scaring the white people.

What was that all about?

He was gonna hurt that girl.

I seen men with that look before.

Where'd she go?

She left out through the back.

Who was she?

I have no idea.

But that bitch better not push me again.

Ma, that girl is obviously going through a lot.

Yeah, but she pushed my ass, though.

-Okay, Ma. -Push his ass like that.

Okay.

Coming in here, raising all kind of hell.

And what you... You weren't doing shit.

What you were gonna do?

What you mean, what I was gonna do?

You come out there, you didn't have shit in your hand.

Man, dude was about to get some hands laid on him.

What do you mean? You don' see these guns?

Nigga, you flunked karate. What the fuck?
