00:01.
00:05Dad?
00:08What's up, Junior?
00:10What are you doing out here?
00:12I must have fell asleep on the couch.
00:14What's up?
00:15You said you would draw me off at school today.
00:18OK, I'm up.
00:19Just let me brush my teeth.
00:20I'll take you.
00:21Morning, Junior.
00:22Morning, Calvin.
00:23You good?
00:24You slept on a sofa, babe.
00:26Yeah, I'm good.
00:29OK, how are you doing today, Junior?
00:33I'm tired.
00:34Why are you tired?
00:36I'm always tired in the morning.
00:38It might be because of those video games you play at night.
00:41I don't get on until after my homework.
00:45What do you want for lunch?
00:47Donuts.
00:48No, you cannot have donuts for lunch.
00:54But you can have some water.
00:59Some vegetables.
01:00How about that?
01:01Oh, and I have this tuna cracker kit for you.
01:06Some fruit?
01:07Yeah.
01:09Why are you going to ask me what I want if you're just going to give me what you want
01:12to give me?
01:15That's because that's what mamas do.
01:18Here, put this in your bag.
01:20All right.
01:22All right, I'm ready.
01:23You ready?
01:23I'm waiting for you.
01:24All right.
01:25Don't forget your lunch.
01:27Bye, babe.
01:28I get a good pair of kiss.
01:30Of course.
01:32Calvin, can we talk later today?
01:35OK, let me think about it.
01:37You need to think about us talking, Calvin.
01:39Yeah, Laura, I just want to make sure I'm ready.
01:41OK, Calvin, well, if you're ready or not, I have some things that I need to unload, so...
01:46Got it.
01:46Now think about it.
01:47Let's go, Junior.
01:48OK.
01:48Bye, Mama Laura.
01:51Mama Laura.
01:57I like that.
02:02Oh.
02:03Now what did y'all forget?
02:07Miss Ella.
02:08Hey, Laura.
02:34You just missed Calvin.
02:36I didn't come here to see Calvin.
02:39Oh, no?
02:39No.
02:40Can I come in?
02:42Oh, of course.
02:43Come in.
02:43Yes.
02:44Absolutely.
02:45Laura.
02:47We need to talk.
02:49Yes.
02:50OK.
02:51May I sit down?
02:52Please.
02:53Have a seat.
02:53I can get you something.
02:55No, I'm fine.
02:55To drink or eat.
02:56I'm fine, fine, fine.
02:59OK, so how can I help you, Miss Ella?
03:02Laura.
03:03I just came by to say I want to apologize to you for anything that I have done to put
03:13us in this place.
03:15This place?
03:17Yes.
03:17This place of underlying anger and disdain for one another.
03:24Um, Miss Ella, I don't have any underlying disdain for you, but I do feel like you and your family
03:29have a disdain for me.
03:30And I apologize for that, Laura.
03:34So, can you tell me how we make you feel that way?
03:38Miss Ella, can we have a real discussion?
03:40Please.
03:40That's the only way I know how to discuss things.
03:43OK.
03:44Good.
03:46Well, I don't know.
03:47I guess I just don't understand how you don't know how we got here when you stood right there plain
03:52to stay in your living room in front of your whole family and told me to take my narrow ass
03:55home.
03:56I did not say ass.
03:58OK.
03:59Tail.
04:00Same thing.
04:01But you told me to take my narrow tail on somewhere.
04:04You don't remember that?
04:05Of course I remember that.
04:07OK.
04:07So then, how are you saying, like, you don't know how we got here?
04:11Like, that's how we got here, Miss Ella?
04:13You kicked me out of your home and told me to never come back?
04:15OK, that day I did tell you to leave until a time where we could talk reasonably.
04:23At that moment, our emotions were all flared up and we were all over the place.
04:28And I just thought it best for us to just step back and breathe.
04:34It was never my intent for you never to feel welcomed in my home again.
04:42I'm sorry, Miss Ella, but that incident made me feel unwelcome.
04:47OK, Laura, I apologize.
04:51I really do.
04:53You are about to be married to my son.
04:56Mm-hmm.
04:57And I just think we should work on repairing this relationship.
05:04Miss Ella, I don't think we ever had a relationship.
05:07Oh, oh.
05:09Well, I thought we were doing fine.
05:13Miss Ella, I can remember always asking you to go shopping with me.
05:17And you would always cancel on me.
05:19I even invited you to come do wedding appointments with me.
05:22And you would always cancel because you were too busy.
05:24Yet, when I come over to the house, you'd be standing in the kitchen cooking with Miranda.
05:28I just, I didn't know what to do.
05:30I even went to my mother and I was like,
05:32Mommy, I want a relationship with Miss Ella.
05:34What should I do?
05:35And she said, you know what?
05:36Why don't you go meet her at church?
05:38So I did that.
05:39But you didn't even show up to church that day.
05:41So I've just, I've given up.
05:44I just, I mean, it's obvious you don't want a relationship with me, Miss Ella.
05:49I can see, Laura, how it could look like that.
05:52Yes, it looks like that because that's the way it is.
06:05More flyers.
06:07Oh, you got to be kidding me.
06:09Nope.
06:09Miss Wellington has been busy.
06:12Wait, let me see though.
06:14Oh.
06:15Dad, this woman is trying to trash our reputation with all the neighbors.
06:20Yeah, this HOA election thing is getting nasty.
06:23Yeah.
06:23But, you know, that's how campaigns are these days.
06:26Glow better get a response out soon.
06:28Yeah, I told her that I would help her out with her campaign.
06:31Okay, but what is the plan to combat all of this?
06:34Oh, just let people know that the kind of people that we are.
06:37You know, we've always been pillars in the community.
06:40I know that's right, Dad.
06:41Uncle Curtis says this whole thing is going to backfire on her anyway.
06:44Well, this lady's declared war.
06:45This makes me want to help glow with her campaign.
06:48So what's on your agenda today?
06:50Um, the councilman's having a food drive down at First Christian.
06:53Well, that's nice, you know.
06:54Yeah, I actually have to give a report to the board about the amount of money
06:59spent in the calls towards the unhoused in the county.
07:02You know, the councilman talks about that all the time.
07:05I mean, we expend so many resources for the needs of the unhoused.
07:10I mean, we might as well spend the money to house them.
07:12Oh, every city is dealing with this.
07:15Yeah.
07:16Hey, uh, what time is the meeting today?
07:181 p.m.
07:18You know what?
07:19I'm going to try to make it down there and listen in.
07:22No, that's good, son. Let me know if you decide to come.
07:24What about you, babe?
07:25Hmm.
07:26I'm training two new PR associates down at the fire department.
07:29So, if things get any worse and you need my help, just let me know.
07:33What you got, Jess?
07:34My day's going to be challenging.
07:36Challenging?
07:37Mm-hmm.
07:38Why? Because of math class?
07:40No, my journalism class.
07:42So what makes that so challenging?
07:43I have to meet with my media group.
07:45What's tough about that?
07:46I don't like one of the members.
07:47Good damn.
07:48Who?
07:51No, please, don't get up like me.
07:53Ooh.
07:55That better not be Ms. Wellington.
08:00Hello, Mrs. Payne.
08:01Is Jasmine here?
08:08Come on, have a seat.
08:10Laura, let me say this to you.
08:15That is absolutely not how it is.
08:21Now, do you remember?
08:24On that afternoon, you bust into my home all riled up.
08:31Ms. Ella.
08:31Oh, you were.
08:32You were now.
08:33You were upset.
08:35It was all in you.
08:38You came into a wonderful afternoon.
08:43An afternoon you could have joined.
08:46And before we could get our hellos out good, you snipped at Miranda.
08:51Well, I wasn't talking to Miranda, so...
08:53Okay, Miranda is a part of my family.
08:55And she was a guest in my home.
08:58So when you barged in and did what you did, how did you think that was gonna go?
09:06Well, I'm sorry, Ms. Ella.
09:08Okay.
09:08What was I supposed to do?
09:10I saw you come in and disrespect a guest in my home, in front of my face.
09:18Would you allow someone to come in your home and disrespect your guests?
09:22In front of your face?
09:24Would you?
09:25No, Ms. Ella, I wouldn't.
09:27Okay.
09:28So then why should I stand for it in my home?
09:34I'm sorry, Ms. Ella, if that's how it came off.
09:37I apologize.
09:39Like you said, Laura, it came off that way because that's the way it was.
09:48Hey, Mom.
09:49Hello, Calvin.
09:50What's going on?
09:51Uh, I came by just to talk to Laura so that we could clear the air, baby.
09:56Okay.
09:57Everything okay?
09:59No, Calvin, everything is not okay.
10:02Okay.
10:05What can I do?
10:06There's nothing you can do, Calvin.
10:08Calvin, Laura and I need to just talk this thing through.
10:14Well, I don't know.
10:16There's much talking that can be done, but...
10:21But we have no choice but to talk it through.
10:23We have to.
10:24I mean, that's what I was trying to get you to understand yesterday when Miranda came up.
10:28Calvin, you want me to do all this talking.
10:29But when I asked you to talk this morning, you said you weren't ready.
10:33Isn't that what you told me?
10:35Well, yeah.
10:35Something like that.
10:36Okay, then.
10:37Why I gotta do all the talking?
10:38You get to sleep on the couch and just put me off.
10:41Look, can we not do this in front of my mom?
10:43That's our business.
10:46You're right.
10:50Ms. Ella, I apologize.
10:53I am sorry for disrespecting you and your family.
11:01Laura, wait.
11:02No, Calvin.
11:05Ms. Ella, I'm sorry.
11:06I'm really sorry.
11:10What do I do?
11:11Am I supposed to go after her?
11:12Calvin.
11:14I don't know.
11:24Speak of the devil.
11:27Jasmine, looks like you have a guest.
11:30Jazzy, don't be rude.
11:31Come speak with your guest.
11:31Please come in.
11:33Girl, are you deaf?
11:34All right.
11:39Well, we all have to get to work, so we are going to leave you two to talk.
11:46Jasmine, be nice like I taught you.
11:49Okay.
11:52What you want, dude?
11:53Hey, that's not it.
11:55Hey, can y'all let me handle this my way, please?
11:56Yes, babe.
11:57I love y'all.
11:58Have fun at work.
12:06What is it?
12:07Look, I know you told me to never talk to you again.
12:10Oh, so you're not just a cheater.
12:12You're also deaf.
12:13No, I'm not trying to not listen to you.
12:16I'm not.
12:18I respect your decision to never speak to me again, but I at least had to come and say sorry.
12:24Okay.
12:25My grandpa taught me that sometimes in life a man makes a mistake.
12:29He said, in those moments you have to acknowledge it and apologize.
12:34I just wanted to at least come and say that.
12:37You tried to help me and by being lazy and trying to rush to a baseball game, I took the
12:42easy way out and copied your paper.
12:45I don't know if I could ever make it up to you, but I did want you to know that
12:49I feel terrible about it.
12:51And if you ever did forgive me, nothing like that will ever happen again.
12:58Okay.
12:59Well, that was it.
13:02I'll go.
13:03I hope you have a good rest of your day.
13:07I'm perfectly fine with working alone, so I'll respect you and not show up to group.
13:12Okay, cool.
13:17Hey.
13:20I don't care if you come to group.
13:23You sure?
13:25I don't trust working with you, but if everybody else is cool with it, then I'll go along with it
13:32too.
13:33I really appreciate it.
13:35Well, um, see you.
13:54Oh, hey, Mr. Payne.
13:56Ella's not here.
13:58How do you know I came to see Miss Ella?
14:01Who else?
14:03Well, maybe I came to see you and to check on you and see how you're doing.
14:08Fair chance.
14:09All right, guilty as charged.
14:11Where's Miss Ella?
14:12I don't know.
14:13Maybe down at the church.
14:15You don't know where your wife is?
14:17Miranda.
14:18Huh?
14:18Yeah.
14:18I got all kinds of places you go to.
14:20I can't keep up with her.
14:21I need one of them, one of them things.
14:24GPS?
14:24Yes.
14:25Or a tracker or something.
14:27Okay.
14:27Um, well, when you see her, can you please...
14:31Oh, speak of the angel.
14:33Hey there.
14:34Hey, babe.
14:35Miss Ella, are you okay?
14:38Okay.
14:38I've been better.
14:41I've been better, baby.
14:42Somebody down at the church, babe?
14:44I...
14:44I don't know, Curtis.
14:45I didn't go to the church.
14:46I went to talk to Laura.
14:48Oh!
14:48I'm gonna sit down for this one.
14:51You went to talk to Laura?
14:52Yes.
14:52I told you that, Curtis.
14:55Maybe, you know, I...
14:56I don't remember.
14:58Mr. Payne, you are the worst.
15:00I asked you.
15:02Okay.
15:02So, Miss Ella, what happened?
15:06I went over there to bury the hatchet
15:08because we just don't have that kind of drama in this family.
15:11Yeah.
15:12It's not what we do.
15:13And she's mad.
15:16She is so mad.
15:20And now I'm mad.
15:22And I'm mad at myself for letting it get to this point.
15:27Mm-mm, Miss Ella, you cannot blame yourself.
15:30This is not your fault.
15:32Miranda, I can.
15:33I can and I must.
15:35Baby.
15:36Curtis, no.
15:37Now, that girl has been trying to get my attention.
15:42And I just brushed her off.
15:46And now...
15:47There is no way I can convince her that I or anybody else in this family
15:52wants a relationship with her.
15:54And on top of that, I threw her out of this house.
15:58Yeah, God, I just want...
16:02I just want bygones to be bygones and it's just not that simple.
16:07Y'all excuse me for just one minute, please.
16:10I'll be right back.
16:11I'm a wrap.
16:20Hey.
16:27You don't want to talk?
16:30Thought you weren't ready to talk.
16:33I'm sorry.
16:35We need to keep the lines of communication open.
16:38I would think so.
16:39Especially between us.
16:41I would argue my family, too.
16:44Touche.
16:47Well, where are you?
16:49Shopping.
16:50I know that credit card's burning.
16:53Oh, yeah, it's on fire.
16:55What?
16:56It's my therapy, Calvin.
16:57Why can't you go to the gym or on a walk or something?
17:00So you calling me fat?
17:02No, babe.
17:03I'm just saying, retail therapy can be dangerous.
17:06Okay, well, it helps me.
17:08Well, what did you want to talk about?
17:16Calvin, I just, I didn't understand how you were so mad about me not wanting Miranda in my home.
17:23I don't know how many women would allow their man's ex-wife to have open access to their home.
17:28Look, I just want us all to get along, Laura.
17:31Okay, and what if we don't?
17:33I want us to.
17:34Okay, well, Calvin, sometimes the things that we want don't always happen.
17:39Well, why can't they happen?
17:41I know you don't like Miranda.
17:42I don't.
17:44But it's Christian's mom.
17:46Yep, she is.
17:48Do you love Christian?
17:50Yes, I love that boy.
17:51Okay, so isn't that enough reason to get along with Miranda?
17:57Yes, you do have a point there, Calvin.
18:00Will you try?
18:03Okay.
18:05Fair enough, I will try.
18:08So you'll talk to Miranda?
18:10Bury the hatchet?
18:12I will work towards moving in that direction, yes.
18:16But you gotta promise me one thing.
18:19Okay, what's that?
18:20You have to be patient with me.
18:22And you have to give me time, Calvin.
18:27Okay.
18:28Okay.
18:29And you can't be sleeping on the couch.
18:32That's not cool with me.
18:34Okay, I'm sorry.
18:36Okay.
18:38Now let's go to bed.
18:39Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
18:42Can I have a kiss?
18:46I guess.
18:48I guess.
18:56Mr. Payne, what are we missing?
18:59Everybody's all emotional.
19:01I mean, I don't think I'm emotional.
19:04Well, sure you are.
19:05You don't like Laura.
19:06And you're mad at her.
19:07And I have good reason to be, don't you think?
19:10Yeah, of course you do.
19:11Everybody's got a right to feel what they feel, Miranda.
19:14But what does it solve?
19:16I mean, it's fine if you're in a situation that you don't have to deal with a person again.
19:21But if you have to have constant interaction with them, then you gotta figure it out.
19:27Yeah.
19:28I'll tell you what, your virtue better kick in.
19:31Cause you gotta drop them emotions and do what's right.
19:37I hear you, Mr. Payne, thank you.
19:41I need to get out of here, but I love you.
19:45Love you too, baby.
19:47I know, I know.
19:49Psych.
19:50Hey, hey, hey, you can't take it back.
19:57Oh, God.
20:00You are the true and the living.
20:03I come to you right now, God, and I thank you.
20:07Thank you for all that we're going through, God.
20:10It is good.
20:13God, I thank you that you will come and take a seat with me and hear my petition.
20:19I need you.
20:20I need your wisdom.
20:23I need your grace.
20:25Oh, God, your mercy.
20:28For we're guilty, God.
20:31How I bless your name.
20:33Challenge us to live your way.
20:36Hey!
20:38God, challenge us to live your way.
20:43I just want to be careful to do your will, God.
20:47Oh, how I love you, Jesus.
20:50Oh, how I love you, Jesus.
21:22Oh, what?
21:22And why are prayers not nitpblood?
21:22Oh, God.
