00:09:42that first step
00:09:47let's discuss their end and so the divorce was granted and would be finalized in 30 days

00:16:01Ah, this is going to be your most beautiful Christmas yet.
00:16:04Now, you say that every year.
00:16:05Well, it's true.
00:16:06Oh, hey, JJ.

00:16:11Hi.
00:16:12Mmm.
00:16:14Welcome.
00:16:15It looks like I'm going to be spending the holidays here at the Chesterton.
00:16:18Yes, we've been expecting you.
00:16:22This lobby, every year, just lifts my spirits.
00:16:28Ready, Kev?
00:16:29Ready.
00:16:30Okay, good.
00:16:31Here, take these and take them all around.
00:16:34Oh, and we, and we, yes.
00:16:36Do you remember your run here?
00:16:38Sold out every night.
00:16:41Glorious voice.
00:16:42You know I left that behind years ago.
00:16:44Well, spot's still open for you.
00:16:47And you better...
00:16:48Anywhere?
00:16:48No, no, no, not just yet.
00:16:51But I'm not getting any younger.
00:16:52Well, it's not the Chesterton without JJ James.
00:16:55Hmm.
00:16:56Hmm.
00:16:58Always a charmer.
00:16:59Now, you make sure we grab a drink before I leave, all right?
00:17:02Oh, dude.
00:17:03Whoa!
00:17:04Ah!
00:17:06What's that?
00:17:07Oh!
00:17:09I am so sorry.
00:17:11Are you okay?
00:17:12And just like that, it's Christmas.
00:17:17Yes.
00:17:18Yes.
00:17:22Oh, God.
00:17:29Would you like to go ahead?
00:17:36Doesn't this place just give you life?
00:17:38I like it.
00:17:39It needs to get a life.
00:17:42Oh, Christmas.
00:17:43I love Christmas.
00:17:44I thought I was over it this year.
00:17:46Bad breakup.
00:17:47But this place just always...
00:17:48Let me just stop you right there.
00:17:50Listen, I don't do small talk with strangers.
00:17:53I don't do close proximity chit-chat.
00:17:55And I definitely don't do Christmas.
00:18:00I don't do bitches.
00:18:05So you chilling with your homegirl for the holidays?
00:18:08Y'all been there once since day one.
00:18:09Something like that.
00:18:10We were roommates in college.
00:18:12Huh?
00:18:12Money's not fludged, but it got growth potential.
00:18:15Money's not everything, Thomas.
00:18:17What?
00:18:18God, that's something only a rich person would say.
00:18:21I never heard that in my hood.
00:18:23Unless it's somebody poor,
00:18:25trying to convince somebody else poor,
00:18:26not to be sad about being poor.
00:18:30I started this job last week,
00:18:32and I know Miss McDonald.
00:18:34She got cake.
00:18:35Look, you know somebody cats in now,
00:18:38but they don't got to dry nowhere.
00:18:39All she got to do is just raise her hand and wave it,
00:18:42and then pow!
00:18:43A black limo puff's out of nowhere.
00:18:44I don't know her.
00:18:51You can just put the bags over there, Thomas.
00:18:53Whoa!
00:18:55This is my first time ever being in here.
00:18:57I think I want to die in here.
00:18:59This is nice.
00:19:01What does she do?
00:19:02Did she create black Twitter?
00:19:04Actually, your dad invented rocker-bottom shoes.
00:19:06No way.
00:19:07Those shoes are mad dope.
00:19:08I got to meet them.
00:19:09Well, he passed.
00:19:11Trish runs everything now.
00:19:12Oh.
00:19:16Man.
00:19:18I bet she'd give it all up to have her dad back again.
00:19:23Well, I bet she would, too, Thomas.
00:19:25My dad's still breathing.
00:19:27When he kicks, he ain't leaving me nothing.
00:19:29Maybe some of his debt and a couple of his kids to feed.
00:19:33All righty, then.
00:19:34Uh, well, it was nice to meet you, and I will, too.
00:19:37Oh, wait.
00:19:40Thomas.
00:19:45Thomas?
00:19:46Oh, hey, uh, you must be Regina.
00:19:50I am.
00:19:51You are?
00:19:53Uh, it's a, um, it's a pleasure to...
00:19:57Pleasure to meet you.
00:19:58I meant your name.
00:20:00Oh, of course, of course you did.
00:20:02Um, my apologies.
00:20:06For, for kissing your hand.
00:20:09Uh.
00:20:10Although it was, uh, it was magical in my hand.
00:20:14You are charming.
00:20:16Um, Ulysses.
00:20:18Um, but she failed to mention how beautiful you are.
00:20:23Well, that's very sweet, Ulysses.
00:20:25I needed to hear that today.
00:20:27Uh, well, look, um, I, I live a doorway.
00:20:34Actually, seven and a half steps in the door away.
00:20:38Okay.
00:20:39So, if you ever need anything, um, don't, don't hesitate.
00:20:43Matter of fact, let me give you one of these.
00:20:46It's a little bank, but, um, it'll be my, my pleasure to come when you call.
00:20:55Okay.
00:20:58You can, you can text to...
00:21:13Back soon.
00:21:15Make yourself at home.
00:21:16Don't smash my stuff.
00:21:17Hid the hammer, smooch.
00:21:18Trish.
00:21:20Trish.
00:21:32All righty, G.
00:21:34What is all this?
00:21:36Oh, just a little pick-me-up and pick-you-up that I picked up while I was out.
00:21:40Okay.
00:21:41Christmas...
00:21:42Twice.
00:21:43No, you don't.
00:21:45Christmas is here for everyone, Thomas.
00:21:47Especially you.
00:21:48No way.
00:21:49Ten and a half, right?
00:21:50How did you know?
00:21:51It's my business.
00:21:53Oh, my gosh.
00:21:54Thank you so much, Ms. McDonald.
00:21:55I'm gonna actually wear these home.
00:21:57Wait, reverse it.
00:21:58I'm gonna wait till I get home because a boy can get jacked for some rocker bottoms.
00:22:02On that prop.
00:22:04Well, just in case...
00:22:08The blue ones, too.
00:22:09Thank you so much.
00:22:11You're welcome, sweetheart.
00:22:12Gosh.
00:22:15Girl, I cannot believe you are still giving out sneakers as tips.
00:22:19Oh, no, no, no.
00:22:19Those retail at $150.
00:22:22It's called advertisement.
00:22:24Okay, so happy you're here.
00:22:25Thank you for rescuing me.
00:22:27Aw.
00:22:30Now, you do know I could have sold tickets to that show, though, right?
00:22:33I know.
00:22:34I was acting crazy.
00:22:35I probably would have done the same thing.
00:22:37Hold on.
00:22:37What?
00:22:37Sell tickets?
00:22:38No.
00:22:39Oh, no, no, no.
00:22:40If I go full-on hip-hop wives, then you can.
00:22:43Just make sure that you give half of it to my Ugandan charity.
00:22:46That way, when you spill the tea, it could be in the name of insanity and philanthropy.
00:22:51Mm-hmm.
00:22:52And, uh, sweetie, just so you know, you're not the only person with man problems.
00:22:56No.
00:22:58Today, oh, my God, they were throwing themselves at me.
00:23:00Couldn't decide.
00:23:01I didn't know.
00:23:03Valentino, Versace.
00:23:04Oh, Trish, those are...
00:23:06Party.
00:23:06No.
00:23:07Oh, I'm not ready.
00:23:08Well, why?
00:23:09Girl, I'm not asking you to dive all the way in.
00:23:11Just, you know, stick your toe in.
00:23:15Stick your toe.
00:23:16Exactly.
00:23:24Damn, I look good.
00:23:26Oh, everyone looks good at couture, baby.
00:23:27Everyone.
00:23:30I don't think I can do this.
00:23:31What?
00:23:32Come on, G.
00:23:33Christmas time in the city are made for drunken mistakes.
00:23:36But I'm not all the way single.
00:23:38Oh, swerve.
00:23:38Don't waste that.
00:23:39Hold up.
00:23:40Let me check it out.
00:23:41Checking.
00:23:42Mm-hmm.
00:23:43Hit it.
00:23:44Uh-huh.
00:23:45Uh-huh.
00:23:48Wait.
00:23:49Do not go Scrooge on me, please.
00:23:51We need some Christmas cheer.
00:23:52At least some holiday.
00:23:54Some, some.
00:23:54Please.
00:23:55You are so nasty.
00:23:56Franklin and...
00:23:57Oh!
00:23:58Don't say that.
00:23:58Come here.
00:24:02Sit.
00:24:04Now, sweetheart, do you think that Franklin is at home sulking over you?
00:24:09Hmm?
00:24:10Let me think.
00:24:11No, I don't.
00:24:12Actually, I highly doubt it.
00:24:14Well, I'm just not feeling tonight.
00:24:15I'll probably be a drag anyway.
00:24:17Nobody wants to see me face down at the bar snotting and crying into my tequila shop.
00:24:22Well, sweetheart, that's where you're wrong, because tequila and tears go hand in hand.
00:24:28Yes, they do.
00:24:29Big shot.
00:24:30Big shot.
00:24:30It's okay.
00:24:31You can do it.
00:24:33Oh, case in point about the tequila, do you remember Mexico?
00:24:37Yeah, you bought out the bar.
00:24:38Ah!
00:24:39I swear to God, that was the most fun we have ever had in our whole lives.
00:24:43I mean, who knew that those twins did Cirque du Soleil, though?
00:24:47It was the most fun you've ever had in your life.
00:24:49While you were acrobatting, I was at the bar down in shots trying to get over the fact that I
00:24:53had just broken off my engagement with Chris.
00:24:56Who knew that I could have been like that?
00:25:00My ears rang for two days.
00:25:02My luggage got stolen.
00:25:03I spent seven hours in immigration.
00:25:05Not as much fun for me.
00:25:07Idea.
00:25:07How about we book the Mayakopa for spring break?
00:25:10You just don't quit.
00:25:12Anything.
00:25:13At least do another shot with me?
00:25:14Okay.
00:25:16Getting drunk to stay home.
00:25:17Cheers.
00:25:18Well, we're supposed to be going out.
00:25:20Exactly.
00:25:24While you sit here and be a bore, you can order room service and the chef will be here to
00:25:29make you breakfast in the morning.
00:25:33You order something?
00:25:35Come in!
00:25:40Ooh, thank you.
00:25:46There you go.
00:25:47There you go.
00:25:48Mm-hmm.
00:25:49Sit me out.
00:25:50Is she good?
00:25:52Yeah.
00:25:52All right, give me switches.
00:25:53Love you.
00:26:08Oh, hey.
00:26:09I was just coming to see you.
00:26:10Regina.
00:26:12You look stunning.
00:26:15Oh.
00:26:16I mean, blinding, actually.
00:26:19The light refracted from your sequins.
00:26:22It's, it's, wow.
00:26:23Oh, I, thank you.
00:26:27We just, we were, you know, thank you.
00:26:30It's nothing.
00:26:31Look, you know what?
00:26:32I'm, I'm wondering why nobody's snatched you up.
00:26:36It's not exactly what a, the snatched, it was.
00:26:39It's totally fine.
00:26:41Just could have stopped it.
00:26:42Okay.
00:26:43Snatched you up.
00:26:43Oh, you, you're welcome.
00:26:44You're welcome.
00:26:45I, I look forward to getting to know my new neighbor.
00:26:48Oh, on that note, do you have a room service menu?
00:26:50Because I am starved.
00:26:52Just in your pocket.
00:26:55Okay.
00:26:56Let's, let's get you some eats.
00:26:58Can't keep a hungry woman wanting, right?
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:03I, I do magic.
00:27:04That's fine.
00:27:05Come on in.
00:27:05Yeah.
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:06You should see what I can do with quarters.
00:27:08You know what?
00:27:08That, that didn't come out right either.
00:27:10All right, never mind.
00:27:13So, so your Algebra's dead.
00:27:15I'm scared of you.
00:27:15Uh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:27:17So, and that my alter ego, Ursula, yes, Ursula from the Little Mermaid, told me that I wouldn't
00:27:26make it in mathematical economics.
00:27:28So, my counselor signed me up for Psyche now.
00:27:33Yes, yes, as ridiculous as it may sound, you'd be surprised what 10 one-hour sessions
00:27:39will do for you.
00:27:41No way.
00:27:42Yes way.
00:27:43My therapist was determined to get to the bottom of my gender issues.
00:27:47Okay.
00:27:47So, what did you end up doing?
00:27:48Well, uh, a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
00:27:51Then, I began to focus on engineering and computer architecture.
00:27:55I found a way to increase the speed in multi-core processors.
00:28:00Computers faster.
00:28:01Oh.
00:28:02Oh.
00:28:04Wow.
00:28:05That's nice of you.
00:28:06Well, my accountant tends to think so as well.
00:28:09Do you get girls with that tech talk?
00:28:11All the time.
00:28:14No.
00:28:14No.
00:28:15Not one.
00:28:16Not at all.
00:28:16I have, uh, no game.
00:28:18I have, uh, Pop Warner game.
00:28:22But, it's who I am.
00:28:24Like, being a unique and amazing woman is who you are.
00:28:31I thought you said you had no game.
00:28:33That was pretty good.
00:28:34And you just met me.
00:28:35And I'm crushing it.
00:28:37Now that's power.
00:28:39Mmm, it's Cabernet.
00:28:41Touche.
00:28:46You gonna get that?
00:28:48Regina.
00:28:50Uh, no.
00:28:51No, no.
00:28:51I, yes to the Cabernet.
00:28:54All right.
00:28:55To, uh, Ursula.
00:29:01Regina, it's me.
00:29:03I have some papers for you to sign.
00:29:05You know, I swung by the house, but you weren't there.
00:29:09Where are you?
00:29:12You know, just, um, just call me.
00:29:26No, don't put more whipped cream on it.
00:29:28Yes, yes, yes.
00:29:30You better be happy it's Christmas.
00:29:33All right.
00:29:35Mmm.
00:29:37I'm glad I love Christmas.
00:29:40It's gonna be different this year, though.
00:29:44I guess it's gonna be different every year after.
00:29:51You're very cute when you chill.
00:29:53Franklin used to always...
00:29:56Sorry.
00:29:58You don't have to be sorry.
00:30:00Um, Franklin.
00:30:03He was your husband?
00:30:04Is.
00:30:06I'm sorry.
00:30:07This is all new to me, and so far it sucks.
00:30:10Well, I could teach you a thing or two about that.
00:30:13Oh, really?
00:30:14No.
00:30:15No, no, no, no, no.
00:30:15No, that's not, it's not, um, it's not what I was talking about.
00:30:19It was dessert preference.
00:30:22It's, it's a great way to determine compatibility.
00:30:24You know what?
00:30:25It's okay, Ulysses.
00:30:26It's getting late, and I thought...
00:30:26Listen, apple pie.
00:30:27No.
00:30:28Lemon meringue.
00:30:30Yes.
00:30:31Cheesecake.
00:30:31Just a crust.
00:30:32Chocolate cake.
00:30:33Oh, murder for it.
00:30:35There it is.
00:30:35Total magic.
00:30:40My parents used to share dessert.
00:30:42I always thought it was so romantic.
00:30:45I knew even from a little kid that they loved each other very Christmas day there.
00:30:50And this year?
00:30:51Oh, I don't know what Christmas is gonna be like.
00:30:54Looks like a loan.
00:30:56Who says it had to be?
00:31:03I'm back, bitches!
00:31:05Turn up!
00:31:06Whoa!
00:31:06What are you...
00:31:07Turn up!
00:31:07Ms. McDonald ordered pizza, liquor, and some props.
00:31:10We about to get lit!
00:31:12Trish.
00:31:13Litter?
00:31:14Trish!
00:31:15Well, girl, you don't want to come to the party, so...
00:31:17I brought the party to you?
00:31:19You could have texted.
00:31:20I'm sorry.
00:31:21Oh.
00:31:22Am I interrupting something?
00:31:24No.
00:31:25No, of course not.
00:31:26We're just having, you know, a talk with ice cream.
00:31:29Just live!
00:31:30This party about to be lit!
00:31:32Okay!
00:31:32How many people did you invite?
00:31:35The whole damn club!
00:31:36Girl, we're going OT.
00:31:38Overtime.
00:31:38Overtime.
00:31:39Overtime.
00:31:40Okay.
00:31:41I need some air.
00:31:43We can go to my place to have a bath.
00:31:45All right.
00:31:46Swap.
00:31:46No, you don't.
00:31:47Where you going?
00:31:48Ticket.
00:31:48Mm-mm.
00:31:49Give me that.
00:31:50One day.
00:31:51Back it up.
00:31:52One time.
00:31:52You know she's not gonna quit, right?
00:31:54You can't beat them.
00:31:55Join them.
00:31:56Come on.
00:32:06Hold on, man.
00:32:07What's the fast word?
00:32:11All right.
00:32:38I saw you check in for me.
00:32:41Uh, who are you?
00:32:43I'm for you.
00:32:45I floss every day, but I ain't gonna have a dead test.
00:32:49Okay, listen.
00:32:51Don Trella.
00:32:53Okay, Don.
00:32:54I mean, you are...
00:32:54I will cuff like this, babe.
00:32:58You want to make a Snapchat or no?
00:33:01I'm gonna say no.
00:33:03I'm fine.
00:33:05Um, we'll have all this.
00:33:17All I need is ten minutes, because I am really feeling this.
00:33:23Okay, you know what?
00:33:24I might need to rethink that Snapchat, but just, I need you to stand right here and be still.
00:33:28Oh.
00:33:30Well, hi, Franklin.
00:33:32I didn't realize you were invited.
00:33:34Well, it's the holidays.
00:33:41Well, I guess it won't be our usual Christmas countdown, but...
00:33:47Yeah.
00:33:48Mm-hmm.
00:33:49Mm-hmm.
00:33:50Don't, Franklin.
00:33:52What?
00:33:52That look.
00:33:53What is that?
00:33:55You know what?
00:33:56It's not gonna work.
00:33:57Wait.
00:33:58She back?
00:34:01It might be Christmas, but it's not Christmas for you and me.
00:34:05Because this is...
00:34:08Uh...
00:34:09Ulysses!
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:10He and I are spending Christmas together.
00:34:14Well, pleasure to meet you, man.
00:34:16No, it's not a pleasure to meet you.
00:34:17Okay, it's not.
00:34:18Don.
00:34:19What, really?
00:34:20Trella, just don't.
00:34:23Don't you touch her hand.
00:34:24She reached out to me.
00:34:26Mighty.
00:34:26You're right.
00:34:28Great to meet you.
00:34:29That is a lovely name.
00:34:30Thanks.
00:34:31Uh, I actually had to change my name because my family's church people and they don't approve
00:34:34of my career.
00:34:37Imagine that.
00:34:38Exactly what is your line of work, Don Trella?
00:34:40Okay, you know what, she actually is...
00:34:41You know what, okay?
00:34:41She can answer for herself because it's Don Trella's line of work.
00:34:45Oh!
00:34:45I like you.
00:34:47I like you.
00:34:47And I like you too.
00:34:49Uh, I'm a dancer.
00:34:51I just did Slim Sham's new music video saying it's got a booty.
00:34:54Have you seen it?
00:34:55No, I haven't.
00:34:56It's funny because I love Christmas music, so I can't wait.
00:34:59Hey, hey.
00:35:00We're not gonna take a sleigh.
00:35:01He don't need a rinder.
00:35:02That was classy.
00:35:05Yeah.
00:35:08Wow.
00:35:09I think it was just much easier for her to change her name than for her entire family
00:35:13to change theirs.
00:35:15Okay, well, you know what, what does Mr. Ulysses do?
00:35:18Ulysses, he is, he is, he is a person who made the thingy that makes the computers go
00:35:26faster.
00:35:26Well, my technology is called, uh, well, listen, my invention paved the way for dual
00:35:32cores, quad cores, second cores, and octocore processors, fielding programmable Gatorades
00:35:37with thousands of effective independent core processors.
00:35:40Okay, bro, you're smart.
00:35:42Next to the dumbed-down version of Nicki Minaj.
00:35:47Yeah, I think that's a compliment.
00:35:50You sure can't pick them, Franklin.
00:35:52Virginia, if you spent half the time that you spent in my business managing your own
00:35:57affairs to get up in my business, you know what, I wouldn't have-
00:35:59You know what, I don't have affairs.
00:36:00That's your road to hoe, Franklin, and you hoe it well.
00:36:04Gimme that.
00:36:11Let's go, Ulysses.
00:36:12We out.
00:36:16Selfie!
00:36:19Oh, wait, um, I'm more poppin' from this angle.
00:36:23What's up?
00:36:25You sure you're still over here?
00:36:27Absolutely, you saw the way I treated him.
00:36:30Yeah, my mom used to say, still fighting, still loving.
00:36:45Can you please stop cleaning?
00:36:47Can you please stop drinking?
00:36:49The housekeeper's gonna be here in less than an hour, and she expects a mess.
00:36:52But don't disappoint her.
00:36:54You know, I was starting to finally have a great time, and then he had to go and ruin
00:36:58it by bringing his hoe date.
00:37:01Calm down, that was not even his date.
00:37:03What are you talking about?
00:37:05That girl's a dancer.
00:37:06Shove Ulysses all in his face.
00:37:09You wanna mack'em job.
00:37:19What is this?
00:37:21I don't know, never seen her.
00:37:28It's the papers for the house.
00:37:31Franklin must have left it.
00:37:33Am I playing?
00:37:35It's the appraisal.
00:37:37We're supposed to get it done before we put the house up for sale.
00:37:44Damn.
00:37:46It really is over.
00:37:48Good thing.
00:37:50Besides, being single does have its perks.
00:37:55Hey, baby.
00:37:56The toothbrushes are to the right of the sink in the drawer right there.
00:38:00Thanks.
00:38:01And there's coffee in the kitchen.
00:38:06Hey.
00:38:08Mouthwash?
00:38:08Next to the toothbrush.
00:38:15What?
00:38:16It was a busy night.
00:38:17Okay.
00:38:18I've been out of the game too long.
00:38:25The sharks are gonna eat me alive.
00:38:28Oh, there, there.
00:38:30And then push-up bras and vodka.
00:38:32That could be your chum.
00:38:34It's a joke, G.
00:38:35I'm joking.
00:38:37Look, you do not have to be like me.
00:38:41All these years we've been friends, we're completely different.
00:38:45All you need to do is what's best for you.
00:38:49You know what?
00:38:50You're right.
00:38:52And I've always known that Franklin is best for me.
00:38:57If I speak to him, maybe we can squash this before it goes too far.
00:39:02Yeah, well, you know what?
00:39:03Tick-tock.
00:39:05Christmas is right around the corner.
00:39:12No, no, no, no, this is not what it looks like, okay?
00:39:14She lost the contact lens, all right?
00:39:16You crotch!
00:39:24I found it.
00:39:35We have to really stop meeting like this.
00:39:43You know what?
00:39:44I owe you an apology.
00:39:45No, no, no.
00:39:46No, you've been nothing but kind to me, and I was completely rude to you last night.
00:39:51It was wrong of me to use you to make my husband.
00:39:54Are you always so agreeable?
00:39:57Oh, I'll try to be.
00:40:00God, it's been a long day.
00:40:02I could use a hot bath and a cold Chardonnay.
00:40:05That sounds fun.
00:40:07I mean, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
00:40:10It does sound fun, fun, fun for you, not like I was just...
00:40:15It's fine.
00:40:16You know what?
00:40:17These are for you.
00:40:20I love poinsettias.
00:40:24Can I ask you a question?
00:40:25Why do you live in a hotel?
00:40:28Okay.
00:40:29Well, you need roots to settle down, and I have yet to find those roots.
00:40:37Hey.
00:40:39Check these out.
00:40:40You have handcuffs in your pocket.
00:40:43These are Houdini handcuffs.
00:40:45That's better.
00:40:46You want to see how they work?
00:40:47No, I'm good.
00:40:48Yes, you do.
00:40:49I'm not.
00:40:50Yes, you do.
00:40:50Yes, you do.
00:40:51We got time before the elevator comes.
00:40:53Here we go.
00:40:54Look.
00:40:56Oh, my God.
00:40:57Oh, my God.
00:40:57All right.
00:40:57Oh, my God.
00:41:00That is so rapey.
00:41:02Oh, okay.
00:41:04All right.
00:41:05You ready?
00:41:07All right.
00:41:08Here we go.
00:41:09One, two.
00:41:11Ha!
00:41:14Wow.
00:41:16That was actually impressive.
00:41:18I could show you if you like to see magic.
00:41:23If you like.
00:41:24Nah, it's okay.
00:41:25I'm cool.
00:41:26Go in next time.
00:41:27Next time.
00:41:27Next time.
00:41:27You know what?
00:41:28Don't forget these.
00:41:30So sweet.
00:41:32Ladies first.
00:41:45Baby, I'm in the lobby.
00:41:48Look, we need to talk, all right?
00:41:50What we have, we can't lose this.
00:41:51I mean, I'm never going to stop it.
00:41:54Wow.
00:41:56Doesn't this place just give you life?
00:42:00If you're happy with your message, press one.
00:42:02To record a new message, press two.
00:42:08Regina, you need to call me.
00:42:10This is Franklin.
00:42:13The herald angels sing
00:42:17Glory to the newborn king
00:42:22Peace on earth and mercy mild
00:42:27God and sinners reconciled
00:42:32Joy for all ye nations rise
00:42:37Joy for all ye nations rise
00:42:38Join the triumph of the skies
00:42:41Is born in Bethlehem
00:42:45Hark the herald angels sing
00:42:50Glory to the newborn king
00:42:55Oh, thank you for dinner
00:42:56Oh, you're welcome
00:43:01Good night, sweetie
00:43:03Good night
00:43:15Thank you
00:43:16You're welcome
00:43:19You're welcome
00:43:21Yeah
00:43:22Yes
00:43:28Hey, Trish
00:43:30Shh, that's a loud girl
00:43:32He just fell asleep
00:43:33He just went blah, blah, blah
00:43:34Tell me, for real
00:43:36How was your, uh, date with the rebound guy
00:43:40He's not a rebound guy
00:43:43Yes, he was
00:43:44I mean, you're bouncing on him
00:43:46To make the other one bounce around in jealousy
00:43:49A rebound
00:43:50It's not like that
00:43:51Elise is different
00:43:53He's
00:43:55Nice
00:43:56Nice
00:43:57Girl, by it
00:43:57Nice is the kiss of death
00:43:58Okay
00:43:59You see him
00:44:02He ain't nice
00:44:03He's fine
00:44:04He ain't nice
00:44:06Well, I'm just saying
00:44:07Watch out for the nerd, girl
00:44:08Because he's falling
00:44:10Hard
00:44:11It's not that serious
00:44:12It can't be
00:44:14Can it?
00:44:17Right?
00:44:19No
00:44:21Right?
00:44:53Wow.
00:44:55I don't have any breath left.
00:44:59You like this?
00:45:03I'm in awe.
00:45:06Well, you look very handsome.
00:45:10Champagne.
00:45:15This, um, this Christmas, I didn't...
00:45:19I really didn't think it was, uh...
00:45:23I'm gonna be this special.
00:45:25The way you listen, you have made my stay at the Chesterton Worth every minute.
00:45:32It's, um...
00:45:33It's cool to date someone that, uh...
00:45:37Knows I'm a nerd and could care less.
00:45:40See, but you're more than that.
00:45:42You're smart, stable, dependable.
00:45:48None of that is sexy.
00:45:50It is to me.
00:45:59A rose by any other name.
00:46:02Ah.
00:46:04Shakespeare.
00:46:07May I?
00:46:11My love's coral is by far more red than her lips.
00:46:21If snow be white, why then her breasts be done?
00:46:28If hair is wired, black wires grow from her head.
00:46:34Okay, yeah, I don't really know where this is going, but...
00:46:38Hold up.
00:46:41My love, when she walks, treads the ground.
00:46:47And yet, by heaven, I think...
00:46:53And yet, by heaven, I think...
00:46:55False compare.
00:46:59And there it is.
00:47:01And there it is.
00:47:11Okay, then.
00:47:21Where was my life?
00:47:25Well, look, there...
00:47:27There's more.
00:47:30Um...
00:47:30Look, I just have to get it all out.
00:47:33Um...
00:47:34I had a grandma, I told her...
00:47:36Mom.
00:47:42Ulysses.
00:47:44You are an amazing woman.
00:47:48Look, I can't think...
00:47:51Of another woman...
00:47:53That I want to spend my days and nights with.
00:47:57Since you...
00:47:58Stepped into my life.
00:48:01Everything has become brighter.
00:48:04It just feels better.
00:48:06Since the day I met you...
00:48:09I know you're special.
00:48:13But now I know...
00:48:17That I love you.
00:48:18So, Regina...
00:48:20Will you marry me?
00:48:25I...
00:48:27Regina.
00:48:35Yes.
00:48:38Yes?
00:48:39Yes.
00:48:40I'll marry you.
00:48:55And so that was funny, because it was my birthday...
00:48:57And, oh, wait.
00:48:58When's your birthday?
00:48:59April 12th.
00:49:01Um...
00:49:01I'm sorry.
00:49:02Your story.
00:49:02Continue.
00:49:03Okay.
00:49:03So, anyway.
00:49:04Yeah.
00:49:04My brother...
00:49:05Okay, wait.
00:49:06Wait.
00:49:06You have a brother?
00:49:07I have two.
00:49:09Um...
00:49:09Terrence and James.
00:49:10Oh.
00:49:11Um...
00:49:12Well, I'm the only child.
00:49:14Oh.
00:49:17Well, I'm sorry.
00:49:18Continue your story.
00:49:20Okay.
00:49:21Um...
00:49:21So then my brother, Terrence, he says,
00:49:24You gotta get out more, Louis.
00:49:25And then we...
00:49:26Wait, wait.
00:49:26Who's...
00:49:27Who's Louis?
00:49:28That's me.
00:49:29Regina Louise.
00:49:30Please.
00:49:34Okay.
00:49:35Um...
00:49:36Well, the food is here.
00:49:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:49:41I...
00:49:42Your crawfish boil at my grandma's house in New Orleans.
00:49:44Well, get it out of here, please.
00:49:47Look.
00:49:48I'm sorry.
00:49:50Um...
00:49:51But we have the rest of our lives to learn.
00:49:54You know what?
00:49:54Excuse me.
00:49:54I gotta go.
00:49:56Well, no.
00:49:57But please.
00:49:57No, my allergies are starting, and I gotta get my medicine.
00:50:00Let me walk you through.
00:50:01No, Ulysses.
00:50:02I...
00:50:03I'm good.
00:50:05I, uh...
00:50:06Thank you for everything.
00:50:24Sweet Jesus.
00:50:25What are you doing?
00:50:26Is this...
00:50:28Is this a cell phone tower?
00:50:30Because I wasn't really getting reception up in the apartment, so I came down to see if...
00:50:34Yeah, because it looks like you're spying on your ex-husband while you're supposed to be having to...
00:50:39Whoa.
00:50:40Your future husband?
00:50:42Good eye.
00:50:43That about sums it up.
00:50:45Oh, my God.
00:50:47That's a really nice ring.
00:50:48Thanks.
00:50:50Okay, I'm so confused, G. Stop.
00:50:53I thought this wasn't supposed to be serious.
00:50:55Oh, shut up.
00:50:57Nice dress, by the way.
00:50:59It's yours.
00:51:00No, I know it's mine, but I'm gonna let that slide.
00:51:02It's not every day your best friend gets engaged to a millionaire while she's spying on her ex-husband.
00:51:06It's 24 more hours.
00:51:08Okay, what about Ulysses, huh?
00:51:09Your big ticket item?
00:51:11His money is the least interesting thing about him.
00:51:15You got it right.
00:51:15You know what?
00:51:16It's something that, I don't know, it's weird.
00:51:18It's like a sexy weird.
00:51:22Am I doing the right thing, Trish?
00:51:25Well, he's got his tongue down someone's throat.
00:51:28And your papers are already signed and filed, G.
00:51:31So, you know, I don't really think there's turning back now.
00:51:38I've never met anyone like Ulysses.
00:51:40Yeah, well, definitely got that ring special ordered.
00:51:44Let me see.
00:51:44Damn, that's some bling.
00:51:46I'm just so messed up.
00:51:47I don't feel like I deserve it.
00:51:48I'm just so messed up.
00:51:49I just left Ulysses flapping in the wind at dinner because I'm a stupid head.
00:51:52Listen, stop.
00:51:53Enough, enough.
00:51:53Gee, do you have any idea how long I have waited for some guy or girl to get down on
00:52:01one knee
00:52:01and profess their love for me, do you?
00:52:04Because in the time I've known you, you've had two.
00:52:07Actually, it's three because it was Chris.
00:52:09Bitch, that is my point.
00:52:11Look at you.
00:52:12You are so lucky.
00:52:15Look, it doesn't matter what you decide to do, okay?
00:52:19Just do what makes you happy.
00:52:28I love you.
00:52:30Drink now.
00:52:31That's my girl.
00:52:33What you thinking, Cosmos?
00:52:35Mm-mm, shots.
00:52:37Okay, let's go.
00:52:42Just tell me that there's a chance that one day you and I will be together.
00:52:46I'll wait as long as you need me to.
00:52:49Okay, we gotta go, all right?
00:52:51We're already late.
00:52:53Come on!
00:52:57Alex, I'm always gonna love Regina.
00:53:00Even if things don't work out between us.
00:53:02But look, I think maybe that's why I honestly, I can't see you and I happening.
00:53:09Now, I know that's not the answer that you want to hear.
00:53:12That's the answer that I need to hear.
00:53:15I'll see you at rehearsal.
00:53:17I don't want to keep the band waiting.
00:53:32I know you're still down at the bar, but could you open the door, please?
00:53:47Hey, Miss Young.
00:53:49You okay?
00:53:50Oh, sweet Jesus.
00:53:52Thomas, I'm roadkill.
00:53:53Just...
00:53:54He loves you.
00:53:55He does.
00:54:02He loves me.
00:54:04And I should love him too, right?
00:54:07Are you going to marry him?
00:54:11Well, he is sweet and kind.
00:54:16He's funny in his own way.
00:54:18He'd be a good husband.
00:54:21Faithful and caring.
00:54:24And?
00:54:26What is this, popcorn?
00:54:27I don't want to be alone.
00:54:30So you don't love him and you're going to still marry him?
00:54:34You're still going to end up alone if you don't have money.
00:54:37All we had was love.
00:54:38When you're poor, love is pretty much all you can afford.
00:54:42Love is what truly matters.
00:54:43Oh, and food.
00:54:44Food and love.
00:54:45That's what really matters.
00:54:50How old are you?
00:54:51I just turned 20.
00:54:53Oh, your wife's for your age.
00:54:56Yeah.
00:54:56I was raised right.
00:54:59My mom, God bless her soul.
00:55:02She used to always tell me to listen to love.
00:55:05If you believe in love, it's going to guide you to where you want to be.
00:55:10I'll never forget that.
00:55:13It's great advice.
00:55:14She's the same.
00:55:15Could you open this door?
00:55:18Careful.
00:55:19I'm delicate.
00:55:21Got you.
00:55:22Okay.
00:55:23There we go.
00:55:24All right.
00:55:34Thank you, Thomas.
00:55:35Merry Christmas, Miss Young.
00:55:38Merry Christmas, Thomas.
00:55:39Merry Christmas, Miss Young.
00:55:52Okay.
00:55:54I am still hung, and my lungs hate you.
00:55:58Yeah?
00:56:00Leslie!
00:56:01Hey!
00:56:02Oh, the woman that almost killed me.
00:56:04I just want to say that that tree is so beautiful, and that star is the Chesterton tradition.
00:56:11You know, we place the star, and then we light it up on Christmas Eve.
00:56:14You guys should come.
00:56:16Hope to see you.
00:56:19Those kids are crazy, man.
00:56:22Ho, ho, ho.
00:56:24Merry Christmas, Happy Kwasa.
00:56:26It's Ramadan, too, right?
00:56:27No way.
00:56:29Ho, ho, ho.
00:56:31This is too much.
00:56:32See, the real Santa Claus, you got the flu, so I had to come in at the last minute.
00:56:36Yeah?
00:56:37Well, hey, you're young and black, skinny.
00:56:40Say a Santa to me.
00:56:42Do you know who I am?
00:56:43I am the HMFIC up in this fight.
00:56:46I'll run things up in here.
00:56:48You know how, you know what I'm saying?
00:56:49Thomas?
00:56:50Mr. James.
00:56:52How you doing, sir?
00:56:54How goes it?
00:56:55It goes great.
00:56:56The outfit fits amazing, and I feel like I have superpowers.
00:57:01I gotta go deliver some presents, and I gotta Boston impress.
00:57:06Thomas?
00:57:10You're doing a really good job.
00:57:12Keep up the good work.
00:57:14Now, you're off at 7 today, right?
00:57:16Yes, sir, but if you need me for OT, I'll be here OT.
00:57:19No, I want you to go to the Christmas party.
00:57:22Tonight?
00:57:23Miss McDonald's.
00:57:24Thank you, Mr. James.
00:57:27Thomas?
00:57:30Have a good time.
00:57:33Yes, sir.
00:57:36HMFIC, huh?
00:57:38Only sometimes.
00:57:40Merry Christmas, sweetie.
00:57:45All right, so, still going to the party tonight?
00:57:47Yeah.
00:57:48You know Frankie's gonna be there.
00:57:50I know, but I'm not gonna let that stop me from enjoying the festivities.
00:57:54All right, that's the spirit.
00:57:56Get y'all a few leases and that big old balder.
00:57:58Let Franklin know baby.
00:57:59I have moved on.
00:58:01Hey.
00:58:04Hey.
00:58:06Hey.
00:58:07Hey.
00:58:08Hey.
00:58:08Hey.
00:58:15What's up, guys?
00:58:17Thanks.
00:58:19Very nice.
00:58:20Thank you, Miss McDonald.
00:58:22Oh, no, sweetheart.
00:58:23If not Sue, you can call me Trish.
00:58:25Mm.
00:58:26You know what?
00:58:27I think I'm gonna let you give me your dance.
00:58:30Yeah?
00:58:31Yes, man.
00:58:33It teaches you on what's up.
00:58:37Look, I just want to apologize again for last night.
00:58:40No, forget it.
00:58:41It's Christmas Eve.
00:58:44That's what I stand.
00:59:00Ladies and gentlemen,
00:59:02the Chesterton and Apex Records is proud to present Alex Palomino.
00:59:36You really do look amazing.
00:59:39So do you.
00:59:44You with her now?
00:59:48That's complicated.
00:59:49It doesn't look at.
00:59:51Look at your hand.
00:59:56Yeah, I don't know, maybe it's time for me to move on.
01:00:12Hugh.
01:00:12Congrats.
01:00:13You should sing tonight.
01:00:16No, that's all behind me.
01:00:19Like so many other things.
01:00:23I have to go.
01:00:27Ladies and gentlemen,

01:00:32Miss Regina Cartwright-Young.

01:04:18Excuse me.
01:04:21Vodka seven and vodka.
01:04:25Love sucks.
01:04:26Here, here.
01:04:31If it wasn't for the top shelf Christmas at the Chesterton,
01:04:34I would have zero Christmas spirit in my life.
01:04:39That's good to hear.
01:04:42And if my love life was as wondrous as my decor.
01:04:47Honey, you couldn't possibly have me be.
01:04:50Try me.
01:04:53I just got engaged to a millionaire.
01:04:57To make the man I really love...
01:05:02Jealous.
01:05:06...that's totally engaged and who can totally get me fired.
01:05:13Call it a time.
01:05:16Yeah.
01:05:21I gotta fix this before it gets worse.
01:05:26I have faith in you.
01:05:28You don't know me.
01:05:32I know you have great taste in Christmas decor.
01:05:35I do.
01:05:38Well, with that being said, I need to head out to the lobby to make sure the star gets lit
01:05:45at the top of the tree.
01:05:46Because remember, that's my line.
01:05:50It's a good line.
01:05:52It's a good line.
01:06:00Merry Christmas.
01:06:02Merry Christmas.
01:06:08Excuse me.
01:06:15Is this seat taken?
01:06:21I know it's the best seat in the house because it's next to you.
01:06:28You are too much for me before I embarrass myself in front of everybody.
01:06:34It was sad.
01:06:36Devastating.
01:06:38But you crushed it.
01:06:40Do you ever say anything negative or critical?
01:06:44Really, I don't see any need for negativity.
01:06:48Ulysses, these last few weeks have been very hard for me emotionally.
01:06:52And you've been there, night and day, holding my hand, reassuring me that everything is going to be okay.
01:07:00Because it will be.
01:07:02Even if I can't marry you?
01:07:11Oh.
01:07:11Oh, what'd that happen?
01:07:14Ulysses, you are one of the kindest men I have ever met.
01:07:18And I've never had someone woo me the way you have.
01:07:24But I can't marry you.
01:07:28You're still in love with Franklin.
01:07:35We just have too much history between us for me to even think about marrying someone else.
01:07:45It was impulsive.
01:07:49Thoughtless.
01:07:50No.
01:07:51Let me own it.
01:07:52With Franklin, but mostly I was angry with me.
01:07:57And I am so sorry.
01:08:04Ulysses, you deserve to be with someone who loves you for you.
01:08:09Not because they're trying to run from loving someone else.
01:08:13True.
01:08:30Goodbye, Ulysses.
01:08:33And thank you for showing me love.
01:08:58Now that's where it belongs.
01:09:01Franklin.
01:09:03Dance with me, Regina.
01:09:05Please, just one dance.
01:09:07It's Christmas Eve.
01:09:27You know there's something I need to get off my chest.
01:09:30What about Alex?
01:09:38I think she'll bounce back.
01:09:42She's in good hands.
01:09:45Look, when we had that big fight, a while back, when I came home at dawn, I was dead ass
01:09:52wrong.
01:09:53And I should have called.
01:09:55Now you're my wife.
01:09:56And I was insensitive.
01:09:58I was crass and really sorry.
01:10:02Franklin, it doesn't even matter at this point.
01:10:06Because we'll never be what we once were.
01:10:09We'll be divorced in what, two hours? Don't you get it?
01:10:12Yeah, I get it.
01:10:14It's just, I don't want to be alone this Christmas.
01:10:20I don't think you do either.
01:10:22I don't think you do either.
01:10:28Hey.
01:10:30May I have this dance?
01:10:33You're kidding, right?
01:10:35Okay, look, you can, but promise me you're not gonna bug out on me.
01:10:39I can do that.
01:10:42Oh, God, it's not her.
01:10:48You know, I could drive you to your parents' house, that way you could be there on Christmas Day.
01:10:55You would do that?
01:10:57And I am still your husband.
01:11:00For another 120 minutes.
01:11:0120 minutes.
01:11:03I don't know, the snow outside's pretty bad.
01:11:06Eugene, I got chains on my truck, remember?
01:11:10Has it really been that long?
01:11:12It feels like almost a lifetime.
01:11:19As we held each other for what seemed to be the last time,
01:11:22I closed my eyes and wished my parents' house.
01:11:25The snow was too heavy.
01:11:27So, we settled for the apartment where we had begun our life together.
01:11:31Who knew the snow wasn't the only Christmas surprise I was in for?
01:11:45You decorated.
01:11:47Yeah.
01:11:49You know, I love Christmas, too.
01:11:54Hasn't been the same without you here, though.
01:11:58The tree is perfect.
01:12:02I don't know about that.
01:12:03It kind of reminds me of the one that...
01:12:05Our first Christmas here.
01:12:07Wasn't fancy, but you know, we made it work.
01:12:12Together.
01:12:15No challenge, great or small.
01:12:18Will stop us.
01:12:20We'll work through them all.
01:12:23And find our way together.
01:12:29And find our way together.
01:12:54I guess you won't be needing that anymore.
01:12:58Mind if I return it to my mother?
01:12:59She's, um...
01:13:01She's been asking about it to family heirloom.
01:13:03Of course.
01:13:11Do what you gotta do.
01:13:14Regina Young is no more.
01:13:21Regina.
01:13:25I think I should go.
01:13:27Please...
01:13:28Look at me.
01:13:39I love you.
01:13:43Regina Cartwright.
01:13:44Only a fool would let you go.
01:13:46Once.
01:13:47I promise you I would never make that same mistake twice.
01:13:53Will you marry me?
01:13:58Again.
01:14:03Baby, I gotta hear you say it.
01:14:07Yes.
01:14:08I won't marry you.
01:14:09Again.
01:14:14We were technically divorced for one minute.
01:14:17Then we started all over again.
01:14:19But that's another story.
01:14:21For another time.
01:14:24That one.
01:14:26That's the story of humanity.
01:14:28Yeah.
01:14:29That's so funny.
01:14:29That's the story.
01:14:29I felt too,
01:14:30and I was there?
01:14:31I wanted to tell.
01:14:31A couple of days.
01:14:33I didn't find out they can get in this.
01:14:36I was there.
01:14:36No, I can't do.
01:14:37I did.
01:14:38I can do good.
01:14:41I can't do good.
01:14:46I can do good.
01:14:47Follow me.
01:14:51And I'm done.
