[Panting] He came into my saloon and confessed to me that he killed that Metcalf fellow. I told him he should make his confession to God and turn himself in to the police. That's a strong sense of conscience you have, sir. He left the saloon in a state. I had a bad feeling seeing him come this way. And wh I got here, he had his hands all over her. He assaulted you, did he? Try to choke you or strangle you? May I? It's just like the others. The others? This is good enough for me. Imagine my luck. The man who killed Metcalf also suspected for two murders in Boston. I'll probably get a promotion, maybe a raise. Hmm. Good piece of work for you then. There was an accomplice with the bodies in Boston harbor. Killed a policeman. Boston sounds like a dangerous place I'd not want to visit. Good on you then. Well, thank you for the ride, Collis. Not at all. I'm heading east to inspect the Union Pacific's bridges, see which ones I'll have to replace when I take over. Well, that's-- that's still in Mr. Bohannon's hands for now. Bravo, Mr. Bohannon! [Grunts] I understand your brother confessed to the murder of Metcalf, and then you were compelled to shoot him in the church.
Yes. And the Boston policeman has left. - He has. - Hmm. What is it that you want, McGinnes? You do understand what this means. It means that, had I gone to jail for any reason, your prospects in Cheyenne would have dimmed considerably. Do you understand? I am but a simple Irishman seeking his fortune in the new world, Mr. Durant. When and if I choose my hand to fall on you, it will reach through the veil of your incomprehension and smite you not in some dark alley or a cowardly corner, but in full daylight. You're threatening me? Ah. Well, with a little bit o' luck, you had the advantage on me. But I have been pushed aside, falsely accused, robbed, wounded, and insulted enough. Now, you will wean yourself from these delusions, and you may still have a future here. Otherwise, not. Good day, sir. What happened in Boston, Mickey? Sean. Two young girls, a few months apart. A shopkeeper's daughter... and a schoolteacher. Much like Ruth. Sean was Sean. [Exhales] They came to bad ends, they did. Sean did what he did. What about you? Sean was my brother. [Sighs]

The plan? You know the plan. We're going to, er, have a roast, then go for a walk then... you were going to come and stay at my place.
Great. You don't want to do that, do ya? What makes you say that? You're not really dressed for meeting children, Mia. No? No, not really. Yeah, well, um... I don't really have that much experience with kids. And actually, I think it's a bit messed up you want me to come and play house in the first place. It was your idea. Well, I didn't exactly expect you to agree. What? Why not? Why, why wouldn't...? Because this is like like a dance. It's a what? A dance? A dance? Do you know what, sorry, I forgot. I forgot we were dancing, it's... No, I'm sorry, you're right, I've got it. I've got it. So, what are we doing then? What are we going to do? Erm... Tell you what, why don't we have a walk to the park, I can bang you up against a tree? No, actually, no, I've got pills, we'll neck them, we'll go clubbing?
- There's no need. - You'd love that, yeah? A bit of clubbing. And what are you doing now? What's it look like? Come on just sit down. What do you want, Mia? Eh? - All I said... - Just don't. - All I... all I said... - Please, don't do that. All I said... Mia! Just tell me what you want? Look at me. Look at me. What do you want? David... I've had enough of this shit. Hello. This is David Burroughs. It's you. It's me. Hello. Hi. Come on, mate. Who's this? Mia, this is my son, Frankie. Yeah, and what's he doing here?
This is a pub. Yeah, I told you we're just meeting my friend while we wait for Mum to come and pick you up. What's she wearing? I'm just going to have a nice chat with Mia, why don't you just finish that podcast? OK. It's my weekend. It's almost over, I called his mum, and she's picking him up from the station. - It's just one hour, OK? - You have to be fucking kidding me. Come on, you've got to love the confidence of a man who'll bring an 11-year-old - to a booty call. - Yeah. I realise it isn't protocol, but not much about our thing has been by the book, has it? Well, I think this might be a bit too maverick even for me. No, no. You don't do that. You don't stand me up and four days later call me at a minute's notice and then fuck off when I arrive, that doesn't happen. Believe me, I'm going to make it worth your while. You owe me. OK. - S-s-sorry? - OK! So, we'll just play nicely - and then... - Play rough? Exactly. So, who's the mother? You know when you meet someone you have a total, instant connection to? Spiritually, sexually, everything.
Maybe. Well, she was like that. Then it all went... horribly wrong. I don't know. Well, she can't be all bad. No? No. So, you gonna tell me what happened the other night? Ah. No. That's not part of the deal. - No? - Mmm. I didn't call you here to explain myself. You must know that's not why you're here Fair enough... possibly a little bit insulting, but OK, I'll go with it. It finished. And that's that, so I rang you. I'm bowled over... really. Well, you should be. So, what are we doing now? Er, now? Talking. OK. What about? Um, w-what were you listening to? A story? In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg. Right, nice.
So, do you want to be a doctor, when you grow up? Like your dad? Er, no. He's just a general surgeon. I want to be a neurologist. But it's a lot of extra work and I'm starting to regret it now. You don't have to be a doctor, you can be anything you want. It's nothing to do with you. That's it? I'm sure you've played this game before, haven't you? Go on, Frankie, show us what you've got. Go on. Live a little. Oh! Easy, tiger. It's gonna go. Easy, easy. - It's not over. - Nice! Your turn. Fortune favours the brave. It's all under control. It's distracting. Dad, you're such an idiot. So who won? He lost, but who won? Well, no-one... won. So, you just... build a tower, and make it fall down? Yeah. It's fun.
It's fun, but stupid. Come on, let's play again and then in... 20 minutes we'll go meet Mum at the station. But maybe she wants a go? What? - Hi, darling. - Hi, Mum. Jess. My meeting finished early so I thought I'd pop over. That OK? Yeah. Yeah. This is Mia, Daddy's friend. Hi, Mia. Hi. Hello. Do you need to pop to the loo before we go? Can I have some wine? Just a drop So how did you find us? Why? Were you hiding? No. He's got an app on his phone. Lets me know where he is. Jesus, no wonder he's so wound up. He can't really enjoy a simple game, for God's sake. Oh yeah, I'm a monster, fucking him up. No, I'm not the one who's living with him everyday. God knows what you're telling him, he thinks I'm an arsehole. If you believe that, then you're even more stupid than I thought.
I like your hair. Thanks. They're always beautiful, Steve, I'll give you that. Sorry, this must be a bit much. It is a bit, yeah. Fair enough. You just want to have a nice time and then all this emotional nonsense comes and sits on your lap. OK, do you want to say goodbye to Dad? Bye, Frankie. Good luck with him. Thanks. I'd like to give you some advice but I don't have any. - Take care. - You too. See you, mate. Oh, wow! - Fuck my life! - Who's this then, eh? Is that the plumber? - Eh? - Mia? Where are you going, Mia? I thought we'd finish off our date properly. - Make yourselves at home. - Hey! Where are you going? Hey. I'm sorry. Who are you? I'm David.
- Look, what...? - Mia! What happened to your hand? I tripped. - Right. - Who are you? You fucking her? Eh? - Do we have to talk about this? - Yeah, we do. Who the fuck are you? I'm a doctor. Let me see it. Fucking... She was just getting out of hand, this shit. Yeah. Yeah. She... That needs some attention. Mia, I need to look at David's hand. Where's the bathroom? It's in here. So, I'm guessing... that you punched a mirror. Yeah, something like that. Right, this is going to feel... a bit interesting. Ow! Shit! I'm a bit pissed. So what happened?
I lost it, didn't I? Oh, she's so stupid. Oh, we both know that's not true. She tell you I wanted her to meet my kids and she fucked it up. So, you know, I just... I fucked off... and I suppose she phoned you. Yep. So, are you OK with that? I'm thinking about it. Just hold that. Yeah. What? Nothing. It's just, er it's just funny how life works out. Yeah. Right, that'll do for now. Thanks. What do we do now? You really need to get yourself a first aid kit. I need to get myself a better social life. I love London. It's all... It's just... It's all there, laid out for you. You can just... mess about, do whatever you want. So you don't... you don't really know where you're going or what you're doing. You have all these stories in... n your head, and excuses or reasons as to why you can't stop passing the time. And eventually you think "I'm a fuck-up." Just two big, fat fuck-ups.
That won't do... any more will it? It was nice knowing you. - Get that hand seen to properly. - Yeah, see you. Yeah, bye. I'm not ready to meet your kids. Who said I wanted you to? You. You want a lot of things. Yeah. Yeah, I do. What are you going to do about that, Mia? It's been 18 days since we've known each other. I mean, what do you expect? You need to grow up, Mia. That's rich, coming from a man with a sanitary towel taped to his hand. Yeah, I suppose. You see, you say you're looking for love. What are you going to do about it? - It's been 18 days. - Fuck that. Fuck it! Who cares? Oh, fuck's sake. There's probably a couple of things that you should know about me. I'm not that bothered about any of this... I used to have sex for money sometimes. Right. Dunno. I always kind of liked doing the wrong thing, and, as a kid, I used to steal make-up from Woolworths then I stole from my business partner and...
I suppose I break people's hearts, because that's wrong too... and one time I wrote "Sarah sucks cock" on Sarah's mirror with Sarah's lipstick. Is that it? It's pretty poor, if you ask me. And what do you care? Yeah, well, here's the thing. I do care. I care a lot. That's just the way I am. I can't help it. Now you either deal with that or you tell me to fuck off now and I'll go home. Can I think about it? Hello? Hi, Dad. How are you doing? It's past my bedtime. Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. I-I was just wondering if... you fancied going to the... to the Science Museum next week. Erm, no, thanks. It's very poorly laid out. Right. OK. No problem. Do you want to speak to Mum? Um... You always ring me when you want to speak to Mum. Do I? Mum! Mum!
- You're such a twat. - I know. So, how was your date? It was all right. I need you Thursday, four o'clock. It shouldn't be a problem. I don't do promises. OK? OK, OK. No promises. We should just have more fun. All right. OK. I'm going to bed. Previously on Childrens Hospital Doctor, I need you to help me out. Blake: Well, certainly. Which way did you come in? [ Breathes deeply ] What do I do for a headache? Sy: Take this hammer, hit yourself in the head, then you'll have a headache. Ga-zing. Chief: Ma'am, calm down. You're hysterical. No, it's my son.
He swallowed a roll of film. Chief: Well, let's hope nothing develops. When I press my leg, it hurts. When I press my chest, it hurts. When I press my stomach, it hurts. What's wrong with me? Sy: So straightforward. You've got a sore finger. Wah-wah-wahh. Doctor, my nose runs and my feet smell. Blake: Well, I'm afraid you may have been built upside down. Haaaaaaaaaa-haa! [ Mid-tempo music plays ] Sal: Attention, staff. The base commander talks without using his mouth for some reason. You'll see what I mean. Glenn: [ Sighs ] Another boring day. Chief: [ Yawns ] Yeah. Aah! Clown! Blake: [ Scoffs ] See that? [ Chuckles ] That never happens to me.
People love me all the time. [ Chuckles ] Must be something really, really scary behind me. Aah! It's Sy and another guy! Run! Commander Tandy: [ Sighs ] I do so hate seeing young children cry. Sy: Yeah, I'm pretty okay with it. Commander Tandy: You know, Sy, having your medical team here has been really great for the kids. I... I just wish there was something more we could do for them. Sy: We could have a theme day. We did that a lot at childrens. We had outside day, Thursday Doris day, day pride day, and Daniel day-Lewis day. Commander Tandy: Ugh. You know, please shush, shush, shush, shush. Cool it with the themes, Sy. Call me old-fashioned, but in my day, all you ever needed was one example of anything. Sy: I think you just solved it. Olde fashioned day. We could do everything the way they used to back then. Commander Tandy: Yes.
That's a great idea, Sy. I'll start getting all the paperwork ready for cent-comm. Sy: Paperwork? That sounds like a lot of red tape. Blake: I hate Sy's theme days. Glenn: [ Grunts ] I miss my boxer briefs. These long jonathans are itching my bell end. Blake: Yeah. Olde fashioned day's stupid. Look, mom. He's funny. [ Laughs ] Blake: What do you mean I'm funny? It's just... You know. Blake: No, I don't know. You said it, okay? How am I funny? Like... like, I amuse you? Chief: [ Elderly voice ] Blake, you've got it all wrong. Blake: No, no, no, no, olde fashioned chief. He knows what he said.
He's a big boy. What did you say? Huh? How am I funny? I'm just trying to understand this, 'cause, I don't know. Maybe I'm a little [bleep] up, you know? How am I funny? Like, I'm a clown? Oh! Oh! You like clowns! [ Laughs ] Blake: Wow. Hey, thank you. No, thank you. Blake: Clowns were like rock stars back then. Oh, olde fashioned day is great. Sy: We will be seeing you all at the banquet and vespers concert? Glenn: Hey, uh, are Jews allowed? Sy: That's a very good question. Glenn: Oh. Sy: You know what we're serving? We're serving barbecued shoat and sugar cane.
Chief: [ Normal voice ] Oh, my God! I love shoat! Blake: I'm gonna go purge. Commander Tandy: Everyone's really embraced your idea, Sy. Sy: I'm so proud. Commander Tandy: The base has never been so...alive. Sy: Should we carry on? Commander Tandy: In a second. [ Grunts ] Okay, let's go. Sy: Okay. Well done, chief. Chief: [ Panting ] Blake: Hah. What? Hah! [ Children laugh ] Chief: Put him in there forever and ever and ever. You're never gonna grow up. Good luck, mister. He's just a kid.
Glenn: Did you know that people used alcohol to stop coughs and to numb the pain of arranged marriages? [ Indistinct talking ] Aah! Blake: [ Laughing ] [ Laughter ] Yeah? Yeah? Sal: Hear ye, hear ye, staff. Reminder... no smoking in your olde fashioned day costumes. They are rentals, and it's really hard to get that smell out. Return to your normal habits tomorrow. That's tomorrow, when everything goes back to normal. Beth: Okay, all right. I'm going in town to get supplies. Glenn: Oh, yeah? What are you gonna buy? Beth: I can't tell you that, Glenn. Glenn: Why not? Beth: Because I don't want to ruin the supplies. Glenn: Still doing the olde fashioned thing, huh? Chief: Sy, this kid's tissue is necrotic.
We need antibiotics and a thermal wrap. Sy: I know, but all the modern medical equipment is still under lock and key. Until we get it, we can use a hank of pig intestines. Chief: What? ! Sy: We'll suck the infection out. Glenn: Guys, guys, what's going on? I thought olde fashioned day was over. Sy: Well, it is, but, you know, the red tape is a little harder to undo. Blake: So we have to make do with what we have, which means maggot therapy or amputation. - I'll go heat up an axe. - That's crazy. Glenn: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Nobody's amputating anything. Blake: Do you quarrel with me, sir? Glenn: What? Dori: Blake had a really good day yesterday. So it's gone a little bit to his head. Blake: Whoa!
Whoa! You will regret that, Hebrew. Sy: Glenn, please do me a favor. Just go put on your Fiddler costume, all right? Glenn: No. Sy: I'm gonna go and check on the bureaucracy and keep moving it along. Glenn: Great. You do that. Chief: What am I supposed to do with this? Glenn: Shove it up your ass. Blake: You just can't move any part of your face. Commander Tandy: It's more like I don't choose to move any part of my face. Blake: Oh, oh, okay. Glenn: There's commander Tandy. He'll figure this out. Blake: There he is. As laid down by olde fashioned day directive, an employee shall not wear modern dress on olde fashioned day. Commander Tandy: I'm sorry.
I had no choice. Arrest this man! Glenn: Why? What are you... what? ! What? Commander Tandy: Well, rules are rules, my friend. I had no choice but to invoke martial law. Blake: Anyone else care to challenge me? You know, because there's, uh, still room left in the menstrual hut. [ Sniffs ] Dori: You have to come quick. Chief: Oh. Dori: The kid with the rotten arm is in shock. Glenn: Hey! Sy: Oh, my goodness, the order hasn't gone through yet. Blake: This kid's still alive? Sy: Yeah. Blake:
Dori, go get me a turnkey, a candle, some cheesecloth, and a touch of cocaine. Let's start chopping. Chief: Blake, Blake, Blake. Wait, wait, wait. Listen to me. Getting attention can be a very powerful thing, especially when you don't get it that often. It can make you feel great joy, and it can make you do crazy things like get a co-worker thrown into the stocks for no reason or chop off the arm of a small child with an axe that you pulled out of no...where did you hide that axe, by the way? Blake: Uh, a holster in my bodkin. Chief: Oh, my God. That's pretty good. [ Laughs ] Blake: [ Sighs ] You're right, chief. [ Sighs ] You know what? I, uh... I went a little bit too far with this. Sy: Absolutely not. Chief: Nah. Blake: A little bit. A little bit too far. Really. I did things that you guys don't even know about, but you'll find out later what they are, and you might get hurt.
They're really bad, bad, far-out things. They're... they're traps that I've set, and I can't unset them. So... I apologize ahead of time. Beth: Back with the supplies. Chief: Thank God. Modern medical equipment. Pork buns? What? Nurse Beth, where is the medical equipment we sent you out to get? Beth: Supplies! Blake: Okay. Chief: Okay, that is pretty funny, but, damn it, what are we gonna do now? Sy: Hmm. Chief: I wish Glenn were here. Glenn: I don't know. I was more of a...bookworm more than anything, you know? I didn't like the sports or anything like that. I would just kind of, you know, escape in a book. Chief: The old-fashioned way failed us, and the modern way is pork buns. Sy:
I have an idea. There's only one thing to do... The future way. I'm going to write this letter to a doctor in the future, and I'm gonna tell him to come back here to today and bring with him medical supplies from the future to today in order to cure this kid. Chief: [ Laughs ] Sounds like a plan. Blake: It's so simple. Sy: All right, nurse Beth, bury that in the ground. And now... We wait. Dr. Greenberg: Hello. Sy: Dr. Greenberg? Sy: Wow. That was fast. Dr. Greenberg: This is our patient? Sy: Yes, it is. Dr. Greenberg: All right, just a moment. Sy: Please take a look. [ Device whirs ] Dr. Greenberg: And let's have a look. Get out of here.
Chief: Oh, my gosh! Thank you, future doctor. Dr. Greenberg: Oh, well, I should thank you. You know, the note you wrote is considered an important medical text and is on display at our museum of medicine and science. It's an honor to meet the authors in person. Sy: I wrote it. Dr. Greenberg: Oh, well, very well done. Yes. Now, uh, the only problem is that you did set off a chain of events that created a dystopian apocalyptic future. So some people have mixed feelings about you. Chief: Understandable. Dr. Greenberg: I really should go now, uh, before they find me. Sy: Thanks for coming. Chief: Oh, wait, wait, wait. One more thing. Um, who's gonna be our next president? Dr. Greenberg: Joe Biden. Anything else? Or are we good? Sy: Yes.
Oh, I'd like to know, what's the weather tomorrow? Dr. Greenberg: Uh, partly sunny. Rain along the coast in the early-morning hours. All good? Beth: I have a question. I'm renting, so is it really necessary for me to own a lawn mower, or is that just... Dr. Greenberg: Well, it depends how long your lease is and how often you mow. Blake: What does that have to do with the future? You have one question to ask. Like, you could know anything you want in the world. I could've told you that, that having a lawn mower... I would say no. Beth: And then it's month-to-month after that. Dr. Greenberg: Okay. Chief: Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I got another one. [ Chuckles ] Um, are we ever gonna let Glenn out of the stockades? Dr. Greenberg: No. Chief: No! [ Laughs ]
Sy: Oh, I have one more. Who is the next person asking you a question? Dr. Greenberg: Uh, the crippled lady asked me if I'm single. Chief: Are you single? Dr. Greenberg: See? Chief: I'm serious. [ Mid-tempo music plays ] No laughing. No dancing with patient. Romancing. No parties caressing. I find it distressing. Collecting devices. They're paying the prices of overconsumption with mental construction. Sal: Attention, staff. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but in my day, we didn't have iPads. We got by just fine with iPhones and laptops. Earth. Fire. Air. Water. Only the Avatar can master all four elements and bring balance to the world. After fusing with Vaatu, Unalaq became a dark Avatar and ripped Korra and Raava apart.
By destroying Raava, Unalaq and Vaatu transformed into the most powerful dark spirit that's ever lived. Tenzin managed to free Jinora from the fog of lost souls, but her spiritual quest isn't over yet. Can anyone save the world from eternal darkness? Ooh. Pretty. General Iroh, are your ships in position? Yes, Mr. president, but I need to know what kind of enemy we're dealing with. It's time to take back the physical world. Fire! Monster attack! They're over here! Please, wake up. They're going to be all right, but I need to get them into some spirit water right away. Thank goodness you're all okay. Did you find Jinora? I was able to rescue her soul, but she wasn't ready to return to her body yet. She sense the world was in grave danger. She was right. Were you able to stop Unalaq and Vaatu? No, they fused, then Vaatu ripped Raava right out of me and destroyed her. Vaatu won. No! I'm too young to live through 10,000 years of darkness. Korra, can't you talk to one of your past lives or something? When Vaatu destroyed Raava, he destroyed my connection to the past Avatars too. If that's true, then... the cycle is over. I'm the last Avatar. I'm so sorry, Tenzin. She needs you now, more than ever.
It's going to destroy the entire city. We're going down. It's pandemonium in the streets. Giant vines are destroying everything. This is Shiro Shinobi signing off... Zhu Li, commence operation "winged freedom!" Do the thing! The other Avatars may not be able to help you anymore, but perhaps I can. No one can help me now. I know I haven't been the best mentor to you, but I realized it was because I had a lot of spiritual growth to do myself. There may still be a way for you to stop Vaatu. How? Let go of your attachment to who you think you are, and connect with your inner spirit. Haven't you heard anything I said? Raava is gone. I'm not connected to a spirit anymore. I'm not talking about Raava. Raava is not who you are. Come with me. I need to show you something. Why are you showing me Vaatu's prison? Because this tree had a history long before it held Vaatu. This is the tree of time. And the legends say that its roots bind the spirit and physical worlds together. And you think this tree can help me somehow? Yes, I have read that long ago, the ancients would meditate beneath this tree and connect with the great cosmic energy of the universe. These are my memories. The tree of time remembers all. Korra, the most powerful thing about you is not the spirit of Raava, but your own inner spirit.
You have always been strong, unyielding, and fearless. Avatar Wan. Before he fused with Raava, wan was just a regular person. But he was brave and smart and always wanted to defend the helpless. That's right. He became a legend because of who he was, not what he was. He wasn't defined by Raava any more than you are. Everyone in Republic City is in danger. - You have to help them, Korra. - How? They're halfway around the world. Do as the ancients once did. Connect to the cosmic energy of the universe. Don't bend the elements, but the energy within yourself. You really think I can do this? I have no doubt. Thank you for not giving up on me. I'm proud of you. If you and Vaatu have the same fight every 10,000 years, why hasn't one of you destroyed the other? He cannot destroy light any more than I can destroy darkness. One cannot exist without the other. Find the light in the dark. Uh... What did you say to her, exactly? Korra's back. And she's a blue giant. You are looking for something that is gone. Raava has been destroyed. And soon you will be too! They're coming for Korra.
Leave my Bolin alone! I am so done with spirits. Eska! I love you! Mwah! Let's face the end of the world together! You're so romantic. With you out of the way, I will be the one true Avatar. Mommy, it's Jinora. She's... Beautiful. What? Let me see. Be careful, sweetie! No! Raava. Go in peace. Harmonic convergence is nearly over. We must return to the spirit world so we can fuse once again. I'll see you soon, dad. Gran-gran, I missed you. What about Korra and the others? Don't worry. They're all right. Korra saved the world. Her Avatar spirit has returned. It's over. Mwah. I don't even know what to say.
You were amazing. And the way you turned all gigantic like that, wow! I just wish Varrick had been here to film it. It would have been the greatest mover ever. After the Nuktuk chronicles, of course. I'm sorry about your father, but he was already fused with Vaatu. I couldn't save him. It seems cousin Korra is under the impression we are saddened by our father's demise. But I will not miss him at all. In the end, he became a deplorable man. Agreed. But how will we explain this to mother? So I was thinking, I'm not really a fan of the long-distance relationship thing. So how about you move to Republic City with me? I do not think that will be possible. Okay, Desna can come too. I will not be joining you, Bolin. Desna and I must return home. - But you said... - Eternal darkness was upon us. I became caught up in the moment. Yeah. I guess I did too. But... You will always hold a special place in the organ that pumps my blood. I will remember you fondly, my turtle-duck. Bum-Ju, you're okay. I missed you, little buddy. Now that you're bonded with Raava once again, are you also reconnected to your past lives? No.
I think that link is gone forever. I see. Why don't you close the portals and we'll go home. Maybe I shouldn't. What do you mean? What if Unalaq was right when he said the Avatar shouldn't be a bridge between the two worlds? What if Avatar wan made a mistake when he closed the portals? What if humans and spirits weren't meant to live apart? Well, what do you think I should do? I think you should trust your instincts. There is nothing else I can teach you. You are the Avatar. Whatever your decision, I support you. - Hey, can we talk? - Of course. There's something I've been wanting to tell you about that fight we had. I know I said it wasn't that bad, but that's not exactly true. I, um... I broke up with you. I remember. But I thought you said you lost part of your memory? I did, but being inside the tree of time brought it back. I'm sorry for blowing up at you. That's okay. I think we both said some things that we regret. Why didn't you just tell me the truth in the first place? I know I should have, but I didn't wanna hurt you all over again. I guess part of me wanted to forget about the breakup too. I think we both know that this... Us...
Doesn't work. You're right. It's over. For real this time. I'll always love you, Korra. And I'll always love you. You want a hug? Hmmm. The war of the water tribes is over. Unalaq has been defeated and the northern fleet is returning home. The water tribes will always be allies, but the Southern tribe is now independent. And the Southern council of elders has appointed my father, Tonraq, to be your new chief. I've realized that even though we should learn from those who came before us, we must also forge our own path. So that is why I've decided to keep the portals open. Humans can now physically enter the spirit world and spirits will be free to roam our world. I will no longer be the bridge. Humans and spirits must learn to live together. My mission will always be to use Raava's light spirit to guide the world toward peace and balance. Harmonic convergence has caused a shift in the planet's energy. I can feel it. Things will never be the same again. We are entering a new age. Three, two... One, lunchtime! - Yeah! - All righty. All right! Who's ready to hit up that new food truck again? No, no, no.
That's not a food truck. That's a guy selling bunless hot dogs out of the back of a van. Are you guys talking about van dogs? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah? - You in or you out, girl? Um, I would love to, but Brody and I are going to lunch. Oh, where has he been? I haven't seen that guy in weeks. Yeah. You know, you're right, Derrick. It has been amazing. Harvard, he's just been really busy lately. But he's still the sweetest, most thoughtful guy... Oh! That son of a bitch canceled on me again. Now that it's finally over, I feel like I can tell you I never really cared for him. Oh, my God, you guys! He made me a video. ♪ When I see your face ♪ There's not a thing that I would change ♪ ♪ 'Cause you're amazing ♪ Just the way you are How sweet! Oh... Oh, big deal. I could sing like that, too, if I had a good voice. - Why is he on the toilet?
Is he pooping? - No! The bathroom's the only place he can sneak away. Yeah, that's cool. If I sung like that, I would poop all day. He is not pooping, okay? His childhood dream was to be a singer, and he even had a music teacher that told him he was good enough. So? I had a teacher who told me I could be a model. He even took pictures of me in my underwear to prove it. Can you forward me that video, please? - Yeah, me, too. I really love that song. - No, you guys, that's private. Guys, guys, guys. Why would a typing teacher need pictures of me in my underwear? So van dogs. - Van dogs! - We eating'! - Jenny, you forgot... - Your phone. Brody, say hello to YouTube. You were supposed to forward me those numbers! I can't forward you those numbers until Kyle forwards them to me. - Kyle! - I can't take this anymore, guys! Oh, this might be it. - Oh, this is good. - Are those the numbers? Mnh-mnh.
It's something called "Potty Pavarotti." No, you might wanna check this out. ♪ When I see your face ♪ There's not a thing that... Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Do not forward that, please. No, no, no. I would never... Again. ♪ When I see your face Okay, let's go. Let's hand it over. Very, very funny. We're all laughing. ♪ When I see your face Oh, every... everyone's a comedian now.

I don't think you'll like it, sir. I wanna be tickled. Who wants to tickle me? Mr. Wen? Mr. McCormick? Potty Pavarotti? - How did you... - You've gone viral, son. And, Mr. Moyer, you have the voice of an angel. Get me those numbers. ♪ When I see your face... Season 1, Episode 5 "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" Jenny? Well, well, well, well, well. If it isn't Depeche Commode. New Kid on the Pot. I suppose you're wondering who came up with the diabolical plan to spread this virus of humiliation around the world. It was obviously you. That was a dramatic pause. 'Twas I. Nobody cares, man. Well, why don't you tell that to the 42,345 people who have witnessed you at your lowest moment, turd eye blind? Listen to this scathing comment. - "Not bad." - Hmm. - "Cute." - Huh. "Where can I buy this?" Damn it! - Hey, babe.
- Hey. I am so, so sorry about that video. 'Twas Harvard. - How was work? - Oh, my God. It was insane. By 7:30, the deal was dead, so Mansfield gets on the phone to Singapore. I get on the phone to Frankfurt. I took a Bissell German in college. Anyway, long story long, by the time Threepeat talked Kyle off Mansfield's balcony, the deal was saved, and here I am. I love my job! I love it so much! Okay. Let's put that coffee down. And it's empty, which would explain why you're vibrating. Which might actually be a lot of fun for me if we were spending any time together. Okay. Look, I-I know that I've been busy lately, but the deal has to close by Sunday night, and Monday's a holiday, so I will be all yours. And I know exactly what I'm gonna do with you. - Oh, I think I do, too. - Mm-hmm. - Baseball game. - Sex-a-thon... Baseball game. My Diamondbacks versus your Giants... Just you, me, and the greatest team in the National League. Plus the Diamondbacks will be there. Your team is so getting spanked. Oh, sorry. Crap.
That's Mansfield. Something's going on with the deal. What's going on with the deal? What's the deal? Oh, my God! I love my job so much! All right, team. Bring it in. Let's take a knee. Oh, sir, this is a new Prada suit, so... Now I just got off the phone with Singapore, and it looks like this deal is going to close. This is a place of business. I'll tell you when you can cheer. And you cheer! Now we have a lot of hard work in front of us, but when we do close, you will be rewarded. Won't somebody cheer? Because Remington Trust is the best damn team in this business. Give me a cheer. Because I'm gonna take you to see the best damn baseball team in the business... The San Francisco Giants... From the best damn luxury suite money can buy, and this is all gonna happen Monday. Monday! Or Tuesday works better for some people. Monday it is! Okay, everybody has off Monday for the holiday, but I do need two volunteers to help keep the building open. Oh, yeah, that's a "Hell, no" from me, okay? I've watched too many horror movies, and the lone black guy in the empty office building... He's gonna die. Hey, Tori, can you work Monday? - Yeah.
What the hell. - I'll do it, too. Hey, you. Oh, hey, babe. So bad news. The Giants game's sold out on Monday. Oh, no! But I went online and got us tickets! Oh, awesome. I'm so psyched. Now are they the best seats? No. - But are they the worst seats? - Yes. Oh. Wow. You wanna hear something funny? - Yeah. - You're gonna laugh. I love to laugh, so... - So to reward us for our hard work... - Mm-hmm? Mansfield bought the luxury suite for Monday's game. It's the same game we're supposed to go to. So are you telling me that you're gonna bail on me on your one day off of work to spend more time with your boss? Not now, I'm not. Sir, can I talk to you for a second? Brody, what in the hell are you doing? I'm sorry. Your assistant told me that you were in here, so...
You're violating steam room etiquette. You understand? You enter a steam room the exact same way you enter the world... naked. Gotcha. So... I wanted to talk to you about the baseballs... Uh, the baseball game on Monday. Oh, it's gonna be a good one, isn't it? You are a, uh, fellow Giants fan, I trust. - The biggest. - Oh. Now about that, I... I just gave $250,000 to the Giants' charity. Okay, well, I have a Willie Mays bubblehead doll, so... You know, I've been blessed with two very lovely daughters, neither of which has the slightest bit of interest in baseball, so it's always been a dream of mine to have a son who might like to go to a couple games with me. Yeah... So funny story. You wanna laugh? - No. - Oh, excellent. So, um... Turns out that Jenny already bought us tickets to the same game. That's a crime. I hope you let her down easy. Well, I tried, but... You know how girls get hurt when you tell them you can't do something with them? Are you saying you... You don't wanna go to the game with me? No, no, of c... of course not. It's just that...
'Cause I'll be darned, it sounded like you said you don't wanna go to the game with me. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying, I haven't really spent a lot of time with Jenny recently, so... How in God's name could you bail on your team like this? - Come on. Don't be like that. - Don't tell me how to be. Mr. Moyer, look. Do you know why we work so very hard to close these deals? - The money...? - Of course it's the money. After the money, there's the camaraderie. Just like when the pack gets themselves an antelope, and afterwards, everyone celebrates. I mean, everyone but the antelope, of course. Just need to get a signature on these invoices. - Why the hell are you naked? - Uh, steam room etiquette...? - Bend over. Nice and deep. - All right. What are you looking at? Just something that I'll see for the rest of my life every time I close my eyes. Quit making this weird. Sir, I could probably talk to Jenny again. Oh, no, you made your choice. There will be no antelope for you. We're gonna have fun without you. Young man, how would you like a free ticket to the company luxury suite for a Giants baseball game? Is this some sort of Machiavellian ploy to punish Brody?
You're damn right it is. Are you in or out? In. Of course I'm in. This is gonna be awesome. Some quality time to bond with Mansfield. Oh, Kyle, real talk? I don't think Mansfield knows your name. Who's ready for baseball? Everybody gets a glove. Mr. McCormick. Mr. Wen. Sport. Attention, capitalist pigs. I am here ironically. I have no interest in indulging in your bourgeois idea of luxury. Is that your own private carvery? It's ridiculous. What do you expect us to pay for this orgy of indulgence? It's free, man. I will take two of all the things you have here. Kill another cow. I don't care. You know, this seat's not taken. Why don't you sit here? Uh... it's just that Brody normally sits next to you. Brody's not here, is he? Come on. Scooch over. Okay.
You a, uh, you a Giants fan? Oh. Yeah. The biggest. Getting killed today, though. Game hasn't started yet. Oh, good. We're still in it, then. - Okay. I'm gonna... - I'm right here. And you're two rows up, unless you wanna switch. No, no, I'll be fine. I'll send up a flare when I get there. Get ready to have a fun day, just you and me. Mwah. Oh, I've already forgotten about work. How about a big Giants welcome for our special guests today? Remington Trust. The road to a better life begins at Remington. It's pretty good up here, too. What do we have here? So... Hey, looks like I got that middle seat there, just between you guys. No, you know what? Uh... There we go. Sorry. Real quick. Hey, we're on the same team.
And I'm in. Great. And now please rise for our National Anthem. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yeah! Check me out. I'm Hawaiian Wolverine. Huh? No. So jaded. God. You guys are in a wonderland. We've all been given a golden ticket to Wonka's Factory. The only thing missing is... Is that a fountain of chocolate? ! All right. Hey, how'd you get that guy to switch seats? Oh, I asked him nicely. - And then I took him on a little trip... - To Cleave-land. Oh, Cleave-land is so beautiful this time of year. Are you watching the game on your phone? No, it's just Threepeat's Instagram. He keeps posting pictures of what's going on in the luxury suite. Who cares what's going on in the luxury suite? Oh, I certainly don't. I'm just happy that Threepeat's finally getting some quality time with Mansfield. In the seat that I usually sit in.
Close enough, Threepeat? Why don't you hop in his lap? Ha ha ha. I'm laughing at it, though. Babe, come on. You're here with me. It's a beautiful day. - We're just outside of Cleave-land. - You're right. You're right, you're right, you're right. That's gotta be crab legs, right? They couldn't have flown in lobster. Ah, who cares? You know, the truth is, I never really got into baseball because it's more of a father/son game. You know, my dad was more into individual sports like tennis and golf and withholding affection. Oh, I think every boy should learn about baseball. It encompasses everything I love... High salaries, statistical analysis, and those tiny batting helmets that they say are just for kids under 12, but of course, I say that's bullshit. Well... you know, sir, I've always wanted to learn how to throw a curvy ball. Curveball's a very meager commodity. It's all about the grip. Take a hold of that and get your finger across the lace and... when you release it, pull the trigger. You pull the trigger. How does that feel? - That feels like a family. - Attaboy. - Maybe we should have a catch sometime. - Oh, I want that so bad. Oh, God. Oh.
Young man, is that chocolate that you're drinking? Yeah, yeah, and there's a whole fountain of it right back there. It's making me a little sick, but I'm powering right through it. Score some points! But now I am 100% totally yours. - After I go to the bathroom. - Didn't you just go? Yeah, but you keep making me chug my beer every time the Diamondbacks score a run. - Speaking of that... - Damn it! Guys, word of warning... Do not dip the turkey leg in chocolate. It is disgusting and... Highly addictive. Look who's here. Brody, Brody, Brody! Mr. Moyer. What are you doing here? I just came down to say hi and just pop back up. Well, you've said hi. You've come down. Now you can pop up. Oh, well, well, well. How does it feel to be on the outside? Pressing your face against the glass, watching us eat our Turkey and chocolate... Knowing that you will never be the center of attention ever again? - Oh! - I got it! I got it! Brody just caught that ball with his bare hands!
- Yeah! - Brody! Brody! Oh, my God! Oh, my God. Son, tell it again, won't ya? Okay. So I heard the crack of the bat. I saw the ball out of the corner of my eye, and then boom! Pure reflex. And fun fact... I'm right-handed, but I caught the ball with my left. I love this game! I love this game so much! Uh, but you know what? I actually do have to get back to... - Jenny. - Exactly. Oh. Jenny. I caught you a ball. Oh, my gosh, Brody. Thank you so much! Oh, it hit the guy I threw up on. Well, I'm sorry to interrupt, everyone. - Enjoy the rest of the game. - Wait, Jenny, Jenny. You know what? Look, if you're gonna sneak around on me, at least have the decency to do it with a really hot chick, not a 50-year-old guy. Okay.
Look, I was not sneaking around. I just came down here for a minute to celebrate with my team, but I was gonna come right back up to you, and then I caught the ball with my weak hand. Look, Brody, I know that work comes first. I get it. But on your one day off, I, uh... I wish that I at least made, like, the top five. Hey, you do. You're more than that. I... just look, why don't we go up to our seats right now? Oh. Oh, no. 'Cause they're not our seats. They're my seats. So I'm gonna go back to my seat and cheer for my team... After I take a turkey leg. Shouldn't have come down here. I shouldn't have lied to Jenny. I honestly shouldn't have caught the ball with one hand. Damn my natural athleticism. What you shouldn't have done is hurt that little girl's feelings. What the hell were you thinking? Well, you did say that it was more important to be a part of the team. Naked men in steam rooms say a lot of things that they do not mean. Gosh, I can't believe that she threw your foul ball back. That's real rage. Bless her heart. You're gonna have to do something about it. Yeah. I'm gonna have to do something big. No, you're gonna have to do something giant. Lucky for you, I have Giant friends who owe me giant favors because these are the San Francisco Giants.
Yeah, no, I get the reference. Good. Save your voice. You're gonna need it. And now please welcome, to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," Remington Trust's own Potty Pavarotti! This is for Jenny. I'll always be on your team. No way. ♪ Take me out to the ballgame ♪ ♪ Take me out to the crowd ♪ Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks ♪ ♪ I don't care if I ever get back ♪ ♪ 'Cause it's root, root, root for the... ♪ - ♪ D-backs - ♪ Giants ♪ If they don't win, it's a shame ♪ ♪ 'Cause it's one, two ♪ Three strikes, you're out at the old ♪ Ballgame Go, D-backs! That is my boyfriend! That's my boy. Okay, please just tell me the story one more time. All right, fine, but this is the last time, okay? So I finished singing the song, I yelled, "Go, D-backs," and then 40,000 people start booing me. Uh, 40,000 people minus one. - Yes, I heard you cheering. - Thank you. And then I run off the field in a blind panic and I'm pulled by the Diamondbacks manager.
- Kirk Gibson. - Kirk Gibson, yes. Who brings me into the Diamondbacks dugout, where I am high-fived by the entire team. Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. Okay, now tell me my favorite part. I'm throwing out the first pitch at the Diamondbacks home opener next year. I love this game. I love it so much. Woman drivers get on my nerves, man. Try to own the road... you shouldn't be in charge of 2,000 pounds of steel anyway. That's a job for a man and a man only. What kind of man jumps into the backseat and screams like a baby for no reason? What... For no reason? For no reason? You almost ran three cars off the road and when I asked you to turn for Starbucks coffee you almost spun a 360. Man, look, you are not a stunt driver, Sheila. I shouldn't have had to call your mama to talk you out of that backseat, Jarvis... that just ain't right. What... this ain't right. No, hey, you know what? I thought you were going to keep that between us. Well, I didn't say that you had to make her sing to you to calm you down. You know what, I've reached my point. I've reached my boiling point. My whole life flashed before my eyes. It must have been a long flash - 'cause you older than dirt.
- Oh, oh, I'm older than dirt. I'm young where it counts. Hey, Charles... shh! I'm glad you could get a few seconds to get away. Oh, yes, yes! I love the purse. It arrived yesterday. Oh, you know it. Yeah, I know... Oh, no, no, no. No, I won't call you on this line any more. But you call me when you can, okay. Okay, mwah, I miss... I miss... Disconnect, huh, dial tone, huh? You are never gonna learn, you know that? One of these days, one of these wives of these married men you've been running around with will make a story out of you on the 6:00 news. I can see it right now. "Famous jump-off gets knocked off. " Back to you, Jim. Just shut up. You just jealous 'cause your woman got you wrapped around her little finger. When she say jump, you jump! At least I'm jumping in my own house. When these married men jump off of you they jump right back to their wives 'cause you're like the famous trampoline of Chicago. Yeah, I said it. Hello, that's right. Look, I'm just out here trying to get all the nice things that I deserve, okay? Rather than be unhappy like you. - At least I don't pretend.
- You don't pretend? Every day you pretend. You walk around here all uppity, your nose so far in the air, your feet don't touch the ground. This a old-fashioned home wrecker, all right? You know, my grandmother, she had a word for it. It's a photograph word, they called it a "Jezebel" spirit. You're just mad 'cause I wouldn't be caught dead with a junior attorney like you. Yeah, I'll be a junior, and you can be a Jezebel. How 'bout that for the time being? Man: Good morning, everybody. Isn't it a glorious morning, I must say. Are we getting a raise? You know, since you're always pretending to be working I'm going to pretend you didn't ask me that. - Amen, Brother. - Praise the Lord. We need to make sure our files are in order for the Simon and Stevens presentation. You know... that's exactly why I love having you as a part of this firm. You always do the things that are important. You know, with this merger Simon and Stevens... it's gonna do a lot for this firm. Yes, it is. You know, um... my daddy started this firm with a thousand-dollar loan from our great-great grandfather, who was a slave hand in Mississippi. He built this firm from nothing. And just to think, pretty soon, we're gonna merge with one of the biggest firms in the state. And you know what? I'm gonna need a VP of Operations. I'm thinking corner office.
- Mmm. - A bonus... - Mm-hmm. ...and a company car. You know what I mean? Yes, sir, I know exactly what you mean. Fool, you ain't going nowhere. You gonna be right here with me in the cheap seats. You know, I am very fortunate. I don't mean to brag or boast but I have a beautiful home, a wonderful job, and a fantastic wife. Fantastic. - Did... did I say fantastic? - You did. 'Cause I mean fantastic. I mean, oh so fantastic! Oh, that's good 'cause you ain't no spring chicken. - Sheila! - What? What's wrong with saying the truth around here? Goodness. Well, boss, I am here for whatever you need. You know what? I'm finally looking forward to meeting that lucky lady of yours. - Fantastic. - Yeah. Listen, she's on her way and when she gets here, will you tell her that I'll be in my office, working on those merger papers? - We are on our way, son. - We're on our way, boss. Ooh!
Did I hear him say VP maybe? - Uh, yes, you did. - No way. Pretty soon, I'm about to be ballin', out of control. Yeah! Yeah, man, you could use that, man. After the year you just had. I mean, with the nasty breakup and your mother passing away. That was pretty hard on everybody, you know? - Yeah... - You deserve it. You know, she broke up with me a week after they told me my mother had cancer. Who would do something like that? Whoo, man, that's cold-blooded. But she did have some nice legs. - I'm just saying. - Come on, man. I've been so down and depressed, man, I could use some good news. You know what, you... you deserve some good news. I gave that woman everything I had. Just out of curiosity, just tell me, how much did you have? Huh, wouldn't you like to know? Yeah, you know what, I'm glad to see you finally out of the house, man. For a minute, I was kind of worried about you for a second. You know, to think that, uh... through all the pain, all the hard work and dedication, - finally gonna pay off. - Mmm, that's right. Studying all those long law hours, drawing up contracts and licenses, getting Randall's laundry.
Well, actually you had me getting his laundry... And to think, just ten years ago, I was scraping up money to buy noodles. We... we were scraping up money to buy noodles... And now... I'm in a position to be VP of the biggest firm in the state. I'm about to be the man! You about to be the man, we about to be... We about to blow up! Woman: Hello, everyone. I'm Vanessa, Vanessa Young. My friends call my Vanny, but you guys can call me... Vanessa. Oh, Vanessa. Well, how you doing, Vanessa? I'm Jarvis, nice to meet you, it's a pleasure. That's funny. Randall has never mentioned you before. That's because he's just a junior attorney. Hi, I'm Sheila, I do all the secretarial work around here. Sheila, yeah, your reputation precedes you. I'm watching you. Oh... And you must be Elston. Randall rants and raves about you. How intelligent and dedicated you are. Are you dedicated to my husband, Elston? Absolutely. Oh, my goodness, there's my little love bug.
- How you doing? - Good. It's good to see you. Uh, everybody you met my wife, Vanny. - Yes. - I guess. I can't believe you never mentioned my name once. - Not once. - Whatever, whatever. I don't mean to brag, but I just want you all to know she is the ultimate love of my life. Oh, you don't need to pour it on... You have transformed me into everything I am right now. And you've made me whole again. You already got me, Randall. - Stop it. - Yeah, he got you... right out of the cradle. So are you working late tonight? Um, Vanny, I wanted to, um... I wanted to talk to you about that. Um, you know with this big deal next week I'm gonna be burning the midnight oil, so... I mean, is there something you wanted that we can talk about? No, just ever since you came close to making this deal, I've just been restless. I've been at home, lonely. We used to have more fun than this. I know, I know, but as soon as this merger goes through, I'll have a lot of time on my hands and we can pick up right where we left off. Yeah, you picked up right from the school playground. Sheila, would you... Vanny, listen, why don't you take the credit card and go down to that little boutique that you like and do a little shopping, buy whatever you want.
Whatever? Mm-hmm, if you need my administrative skills while you're down there, I'm available. Hey... I love you. It was nice meeting everyone. And I'm watching you. That is one gorgeous woman. You know, I can't believe he didn't mention my name not once. Don't I do a lot around here? Not even a little bit of, you know, "Hey, Jarvis, I like the way you made the coffee, man. " Prepping my sugar... nothing. I get no respect. Sheila, I'm telling you right now. See. I see how you watch TV. You flip the channel every second. Oh, come on, man, you know I'm just a junior attorney. You know, ain't got this kind of cable at my house, can't afford it, so I got to watch every station I can. - Yeah, speaking of your house. - Uh-huh. When you going home? Go home? Oh, come on, man. You know you miss your boy. Come on, we just hanging. I been at work with you all day, man, why you getting weird? What... weird? Of course not, I'm not getting weird.

Now she looking for me, I'm scared. Man, come on, dude, you gotta help me, dog. Call the police... no, better yet, call my mom. Why don't you put your foot down, man? - Put my foot... - Raven will respect you more once you take up for yourself. - Really, put my foot down? - Yes. Last time I put my foot down, she put that foot in my mouth and wrapped my own leg around my neck. I'm telling you, this woman is a serial killer. I'm not talking Cocoa Puffs. I got the solution, perfect solution. Can I live with you? Oh no, oh no, you ain't bringing that foolishness in my house. - No, sir. - Come on, man. Look, you think I could suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome? 'Cause, like, I be sitting at my desk, I be, like, twitching. I be, like, scared, my bowels ain't moving in weeks. It's weird, dude, I'm... something's wrong, dude. I'm having nightmares, nightmares.

You need to chill, okay. - "Woosah," breathe. - Just breathe? Breathe it out, bro, you're gonna be fine. I read that somewhere, just breathe. - Yes. - Okay, yeah. You know, who used to really help me breathe? - Who? - Yvette. Yeah, Yvette, I'll tell ya, she really knew how to calm me down - when I used to feel like this. - Come on, man. Don't go there. You broke up with her three years ago so stop it, all right? Look, I mean, three years, it's been a long time, man. - Stop it, man, stop it. - She was the love of my life, dude. You just mad at me now because I'm, you know... I used to date your sister. You said it was cool, E. No, you told me I had to go through with it, okay? These situations are kind of awkward.
These breakups where it's my best friend and my sister, you know? Nobody could treat me like Yvette. I mean, she was... I mean, she was cool, I mean... I loved nobody like her. That's right. You know, she just need her space, that's all, you know. You know what, speaking of space, - I need my space, okay? - Yeah. Now I'm not saying you gotta go home, bro, but it's about that time. I need to unwind a little bit, you know, kind of just... air out, so... - What, just like that? - I'll see you at work tomorrow. Just 'cause I started talking about your sister and everything, reminiscing, now you gotta kick me out like that, - that's how we go? - Nothing personal... That's how we do it? - We brothers? - Let me have mine. All right, okay, see, now my face leaking. You see this, you see this? Now... now... now all my stuff is coming loose. I'm gonna go grab some tissue. You be good, all right? You're a hot mess, you're a hot mess. I'm gonna get some tissue, man. Oh, whoo, these emotions. Whoo, all right, I gotta... get it together, man, get it together, get it tog... Look... what do we have here?
Antidepressants? Oh, come on, Elston, you can't go out like that. Where he at? ! Well, hello, Raven. I know that fool up in here. I ain't worried about you, boy. Where the hell is he at? Elston: I don't know if I wanna tell you. You know what, I told that fool to be home when I get home. You know, if I step in that door and he's not there, well, let's just say, he's humping for a thumping. Itching for a whipping. Jarvis, my candy jar! Where the hell you at? Lord, Lord, Father... please, please save me from this crazy, crazy, crazy woman. Please, I know you created her but she is... Don't make me miss "Housewives. " Baby, sweetheart, dumpling, honey pie, sugarfoot. Um, funny thing had happened. I stayed late at the cantina because I had a bad burrito and I was stuck in the bathroom. Yeah, stuck in the bathroom. So, uh, you don't have to be mad, okay, don't harm me. Un-uh. I eat them burritos all the time. They ain't never did nothing to me. Well, there was that one time, but... It was too many damn people on that bus anyway. You cleaned out the entire bus station, Raven, come on. Boy, shut your mouth.
Look here. I am going to the store for a few things. You better be outside when I get back. And I mean at attention. Jarvis, I ain't got all night. - Can you pick me up something... - Hell no. You can come out now, bro. You sure? Yeah, it's safe, come out. - You sure she gone? - Man, put the vase down. Man, I'm telling you, man, I can't deal with this messy violent stuff. I'm telling you, man, I'm a man, dude. - You're pathetic. - I'm pathetic? - Yeah. - Whatever, dude... shoot. That woman don't know nothing about no boundaries, man. I don't know why you put up with that, bro. A healthy relationship has proper boundaries. Yeah, I know, boundaries. Last time I tried to get some boundaries with her she tried to bind my hands and my feet and held me hostage for four hours. It was crazy. Man, y'all are crazy. Yeah, yeah, we crazy. I guess I'm crazy too. You know what, though, I ain't gonna lie. We used to have something special. We used to have something...
it was something. - Something. - I just... Ever since I messed up that one time, - she never forgave me for it. - Yeah, she never forgave you. That's for sure. You know what, women don't... women are like elephants. They never forget. They act like they forget, but they don't forget. They be telling you they forget. They just want to make you feel like you forgot but they ain't forgot nothing. - What were we talking about? - Feel me on this. If you can cheat on your woman... Uh-huh. ...how can you say you love her? Maybe you don't love her if you can cheat on her, huh? - Boy, you know... - I'm just... I'm just... I - I-I-I never thought of that. - You know what? - What? Give me a minute, I'm gonna pray about this. You do that, go ahead, talk to Him, go ahead. Jesus... if I don't... if I cheat on her... Oh, sh...
Go, I ain't here, I'm invisible. This is it, man, you got a problem. Hold on. Look at you. - Surprise. - Yvette. - Hey, sis. - Hey. I wasn't expecting you 'til next week. It's Yvette, how you doing? Yeah, well, I thought I'd surprise you. You know, I had to fly in to cover the game last minute with the flu bug going around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good to see you. You don't mind if I crash, do you? Come on, stop it, of course, I'll get your room ready. Let me get you something to drink first. - Okay. - What you want? Um, some water. - Water it is. - Yes. I must say, sis, I'm pretty proud of you. Got the new job at the network, huh? Oh, thank you. My sister's a sportscaster. I've been watching all your stuff online. I saw that piece you did on concussions in the NFL. Really? It was pretty stellar, kind of stellar. I've been, uh...
I've been following you too. Wow. - Jarvis. - Yeah. I didn't expect to see you here. Well, I should have known you two are joined at the hip. Yeah, you know, I was trying to tell him about boundaries and stuff, you know what I'm saying? A healthy friendship has good boundaries and stuff. But he don't listen. - See a real relationship... - Okay, you know what, um let me get your bag and, um you guys can talk. - How's the weather? - So... - Eat your... - How's... Sorry. All right, um, I guess it's been a while. Yeah, it's been a minute. Yeah, yeah. Look, I'm... I know I didn't call and everything but, I mean the last time we spoke, - things kind of ended... - Yeah, I know, I understand. It's okay. I mean, I flew a thousand miles away and you didn't find it good to call me and check on me. No, "Yvette, how you doing?" Or maybe, "I'm sorry. " After all this time, you still can't apologize. You know, maybe I should just go. No, no, no, no, no, no.
You stay, I'll go. Yvette I'm sorry. Thank you. How hard was that? L... I gotta go, 'cause, you know... Well, give me a hug. - For real? - Yes. Give me a hug, stop playing. - For real? - Stop it. - See? - Yeah. See, we can at least be friends. We... Friends? I think friends is a good idea. I think, yeah, this... Oh, that feels friendly, that's friendly. Oh, yeah, ooh, yeah, that's... That's... Oh, whoo! Hey, hi, girl! Hey, hey, um, have fun! How you doing, baby? You got the nerve to cheat on me with a cute girl? Hello, I'm Yvette, Elston's sister. - Uh-huh. - She cute.
You know what, I should kill you right where you stand. After all I done for you. Wait, it's not like that, we're just old friends. Yeah, yeah, just listen to her. Just old friends. Listen here, baby girl, old friends don't embrace like that. - That's right. - You know, my mama was right. You can't trust a man as far as you can throw him. You ain't nothing but some two-timing no-good fool. Look, we were just... we just friends... I'm just visiting... I'm just visiting with her. - Just visiting? - Yes! Hey, hey, hey, what's all the commotion in here? It's just Raven, you know, acting out again. I'm gonna show you acting out. - You know what... - Take that out of my house. - I will see y'all, good night. - It was lovely seeing... And you know what? You stay away from my man. We're happy. Okay, thank you. - Good night. - Close the door behind you. Boy, I tell you.
Should we be calling the police? No, that's them two all the time. Lucky there weren't no blood. He'll be all right in the morning. Am I safe here? What you mean, are you safe here? Big bro got your back, of course. Yeah, just like old times, huh? - Of course. - Um-hm. Mom did always say for you to look out for me no matter what. Yeah, she was always talking about keeping family first, huh? Yeah. I miss her. Yeah, not a minute goes by I don't... think about her, you know? Yeah. Only God knows why he needed her up there. Amen, sister. - I missed you. - It's good to see you. - Are you hungry? - Starving. Okay, we need to go out, sis. - I have no food here. - Clearly. - Somebody knocking. Yvette: Yeah. Hey, uh... Oh, sorry, Elston, good to see you.
Come on in here, baby. - You know my wife. - Of course. Good to see you. Listen, um, don't mean to barge in on you. We were on our way to a jazz club and there's a big accident on the Kennedy Expressway so decided to take your exit. - Got a bottle of the bubbly. - Okay. Thought I'd share it with you. We're so sorry to intrude. - This was not my idea. - That's nonsense. You guys are welcome. Make yourself at home. And who is this lovely young lady? This is my sister Yvette. You met her last year at the Christmas party. Yes, I remember. You still look smashing. Well, thank you. Yes, you're very cute. Thank you. Oh, my... What's wrong? I was just caught off guard by the size of your feet. Damn. Please, don't take offense. L... It just startled me. Me a little bit too.
Um, we better pop the cork on that bottle. I'll do the honors. Oh, look, allow me, I got it. Ah, Elston. Bathroom? You know, this thing got a mind of its own. Hello, yes. Excuse me. Yes, I can follow the team to Dallas. Yes, yes... Young man, would you mind helping a damsel in distress? No problem. Thank you. So, you know, some things require a strong young man's touch. Whoo, ah-ha-ha. I'm getting a raise. What are you doing here, Sheila? Hello-ho-ho. The question is, what are you doing here? I was just helping her, okay, relax. Yeah, look like you was helping yourself. Bag, please. Mr. Randall asked me come by and drop off these files after I came back home from my card game. Oh-ho-ho, I went blind seven. I'm set, baby. I won 50 bucks. Amen and amen. Whoo. Elston, uh... I hope I didn't tear it up too badly, man.
Baby... I cannot eat any more of those burritos from that cantina. It just tore my stomach apart. Yeah, maybe we should get a move on it. Looks to me like somebody else has got a move on while you were gone. What does she mean by that? Oh, no, no, no, my tongue, it just gets loose, you know, when I get to sipping at those card games. Don't pay me no mind. You know, my tongue gets even looser when my pocketbook is lighter. Thank you very much. Your generosity is "muchly" appreciated. It's gonna go to a good cause. Here are you files. Oh, thank you. I didn't see nothing. Goodbye, Sheila. What's that all about? I think... you need to cut her hours. She got a couple screws loose. Don't we all. Listen, baby, why don't we have a little champagne? We just got here. Sit back and relax. Yeah, but, you know, maybe we should go. I'm feeling a little flushed. Just... a little flushed. Okay. Yeah, um... Maybe you guys should take a rain check, you know.
You don't want her feeling weak and then you guys have an accident or something. Yeah, when I feel like this, I tend to be a little reckless. Okay, okay, buttercup. Whatever you want. We'll get you home and get you wrapped up, okay? Thank you. Can't keep my hands off of you. Hey, listen, um... - sorry we're leaving so soon. - No problem. But I left the bottle of champagne for you. And I'll see you in the office tomorrow, son. See you tomorrow, sir. - Let's go, baby. - Okay. - See you in the morning. - Come on, baby. According to this report, this should be a no-brainer. The trucker's blood alcohol level was well above the legal limit when he hit her. I don't know, man, what kind of monetary value can you put on a pinkie toe? Same as any toe. No, no, not necessarily. I mean, I don't know if the jury's gonna see it like that. You see, now, a pinkie toe probably should cost a little considerably less. I mean, no, a big toe, yeah, big toe... bucks, I understand that. But with a pinkie toe? Let bygones be bygones. What kind of open-toe shoes a 70-year-old woman gonna wear anyway? That pinkie toe is long gone. It's dead, forget about it.
Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that head of yours. Look, I just say the things that people are scared to say. You say the things that scare me for you as well as future generations. I... I guess I'm just tripping, man. I've been going through some stuff lately, dude. This woman's crazy, dude, I... She's putting stuff on the stove, heating it up and everything. She's on some medieval stuff right now. I can't handle it, man, I don't know what's going on. Yeah, she got issues. Yeah, she got issues, but what does it say about me? I'm still with her. Why don't you stand up for yourself, man? You weren't like that in college. Yeah, I know. I know, I know, I guess I... Guess I lost my mojo a little bit, man. Yeah, it's like you lost your confidence after you didn't get drafted. You remember what happened, dude? I'm sitting there waiting to get drafted. The agent snatches the chicken wing right out of my mouth. Just like that, you know? In front of my friends, my family members. I had the whole party set up, it was embarrassing, dude. I remember, I had to pay half the bill. That was the most humiliating day of my life. Hands down. It was just... humiliating.
You was a loser, too. Yes, you know what? My grandmother even called me a loser. You're not a loser, man. Look, you're... you're... look, you're a junior lawyer. Come on. I'm a junior lawyer. Yes, and now you probably should leave. You know what? On that note, I'm just gonna get out of here, man. - I got some things to take care of. - All right. - You can finish up yourself. - Shake it off, buddy. Junior lawyer. Uh what are you doing here? - Shh! Look... No, listen, about last night, uh... Shh. I was totally in the wrong. Don't say not another word. It was my fault. Sometimes I just... I just don't think straight. No, it's okay, I know what you mean. Listen, let's just promise each other that it won't happen again. No harm, no foul, right? - Agreed.
- Agreed. Now I think it would be in your best interest to clear the premises 'cause you do not want to let Sheila catch you here. You know how she is. I slipped her a 20 on the way in. She's looking out for me. Ah, the power of money, I love it. See, that's just it, Elston. I thought that money would make me happy. I thought that it would make me love him more but it didn't. I ended up marrying for all the wrong reasons and when I look at you, it just reminds me that, um... Yeah, listen, um... I'm not sure I wanna have this conversation now. He's my boss and he's been really good to me. All right? You think you know that man? You don't. That man, he is greedy and he is low-down. - Okay... - He built this firm on the backs of loyal, hard-working, dedicated people like you. He's just like his father and his grandfather. Okay, listen. He's your husband, all right. Yes, and that's why I have the right to tell the truth. Okay, I'd really rather not have this conversation, all right? All right, maybe you're right. I'm sorry to bother you. It's no problem. He's coming down the hall. If you want me to fake a seizure, it'll be an extra 40 bucks.
- It's not necessary. - You sure? I talked myself out of two speeding tickets that way. Works like a charm. Come on, girl, now you... No, no, no, you are not about to pay my bills if I lose this job. Now come on, get your stuff, get your bags together. Come on, get out of here, get out! Look... everything's gonna come to the light. You're gonna see the truth. Yeah, baby, yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, I just went to the bathroom. That's all I did. I know, I should have called you on my cell phone, but, yeah, it takes a little longer 'cause they didn't have paper towels. And you know I don't like to air dry. I can't go back to my desk soggy. Sweet... No, no, I didn't. Okay, number two. Are you happy? No, I didn't go talk to the Human Resources lady. No, you messed that up for me, yeah, you did. Yeah, you remember, you called in a bomb threat. Yeah, now she's scared to death. Yeah, every time she see me, yeah, she runs in the opposite direction. Imagine Flo Jo on the 47th floor in kitten heels, just going that way. That's what happens. Yeah, un-huh. Yeah, okay, look, baby, I'm gonna call you back, okay? Yeah, in 10.4 minutes.
Yeah, I'll call you back, I promise. I know you're counting. Okay, love you. He dumped me! Who... who, Charles? The married guy. Yeah, he said I should've known that what we had was just temporary. Just for fun. Ohh... I feel so used. Oh, ooh, oh. I mean, ooh, don't cry. Oh, oh, the pain, I can feel the pain from... Don't cry. Come on, ooh, come on, just... I know, even trampolines need love too. I hate to say I told you so, Sheila. - But I told you so. - Gee, thanks. Well, what... Well, what do you want me to say? What do you expect for me to say? When you're wrong, you're wrong, Sheila. You can't be going around wrecking people's homes, wrecking this, wrecking that. In the words of the immortal Ice Cube: # You better check yourself # # Before you wreck yourself # # You better check yourself... ## You can't even understand. You can't.
No. I never had no one to love me, okay? My father left me and my mother when I was eight years old. Do you know what it's like to cry yourself to sleep at night because you miss somebody so much? Do you wonder? You ever wonder why somebody doesn't love you? No, no, you don't. So you just need to shut your mouth! That's enough now. I know what it feels like to hurt. I know what it feels like to have a spicy chicken wing ripped out of your mouth when you don't make the draft. And you know what? I know what it's like to pay the bill at that dinner at that draft. You know how embarrassing that is? You know how hard it is to go back to the block where you ain't got drafted? Now I'm here dealing with you and everything. I know about that pain. I deal with that pain every day. But you know what, I know God's got my back. God don't like ugly. So of course you're gonna have a little harder time than most. You are, I'm just saying. But still, you gotta get down on your knees. You gotta get down on your knees and pray. Hallelujah, Honda Civic, Osama Bama. Yes, you gotta get down on your knees and you got to pray, all right? You know, I just... You know what, I'm gonna get back to work because if I get to preaching around here, I'm gonna get the Holy Ghost. Y'all ain't gonna hear me up in this piece.
You know, I'm gonna go off. Whoo, Lord, Jesus, amen... Sheila. Can you hold all my calls please? Uh, Yeah, Mr. Rand... hey, how you doing? You need some coffee, take your coat, anything? Yeah, I need a coffee with three Splendas. Okay, three Splendas, all right, and so, uh... three Splendas, so Jarvis Brown getting your coffee. Remember Jarvis Brown, 'cause I get the coffee. Go this way, all right now... Can you have Elston meet me in my office? I need to have a very personal conversation with him. Oh, yes, sir. Remember, Jarvis Brown, coffee, anytime. Got ya, I'll be right back. Oh, he knows. He knows, he knows everything. - Did you open your big mouth? - I can't believe it, I can't believe it. - My money supply's gonna dry! - I didn't do anything. - What if I die, what if I die? - I didn't do anything. Take it to the grave, man. Take it to the grave, that's that I always say, man. That's it, I'm telling you right now... You've been so good to me. I can't believe he's gonna kill you. First you're gonna get fired.
Oh, no, I'm gonna miss you so much, Elston. Where's he at? He said for you to meet him in the conference room. All right, conference room it is. Oh, Elston... after you get killed, since I know the combination to your safe can I have that $1,500... please? I'm saving for a beauty procedure. Ooh. Okay, Mom, can you just sing the first part for me? Yeah, I'm stressed out right now. Everybody here is crazy. Yeah, okay, just sing it like you used to. I'll sing with you. Okay, okay. # Twinkle, twinkle # # Little star ## Yeah, uh, yeah, like I was saying, I just punched him in the face. You know, that's what we do, we slap people for fun. Yeah, that's what we do here at the law firm. Yeah, uh-huh, all right, okay, I gotta go. Yo... what's up, man? I'll tell you later. I ain't seen your face long like that since you punched a cheerleader for stealing your dance moves. That was you, not me. Oh, yeah, that's right, yeah, yeah. I would've left him alone too if he didn't take my signature spin move. She's not answering. Listen, tell Yvette I'm not gonna be able to make lunch. I got something I need to handle.
Okay, boss, no problem. Mom, you still there? # Ooh-ooh-ooh... ## Mr. Trace, I need to talk to you. Have a seat. No, sir, I'd rather stand. I'd rather you sit. I'd rather stand, sir. Young man, have a seat. Please. What is it? - Well, sir, I... - Wait, son, let me stop you. I know exactly what you wanna say, okay? Sir... Son, let me stop you. I wanna talk to you about something that's very dear to my heart. I know, that is why I want to talk... Listen. This firm has been the cornerstone of this community for over a decade. And I'm very proud of that. And I don't make any decisions in here that are not in the best interests of this firm, even when it's personal. Right, sir. So I've decided I've decided to, uh... interview for the... Vice President of Operations position. It doesn't mean you're not gonna get the job. It just means I think we may go with somebody a little bit more qualified. More qualified? I put my blood, sweat and tears in this place for a decade. I know you did.
Long hours, no vacations. How can you tell me "more qualified"? ! That's my position. Son, I've been watching you and you've been walking around here with your... your chest poked out, like you're the big gun, like you're the top gun, like you're running things around here. Like I owe you something. Can I ask you a question? Do I owe you something? Now, son, you're not ready. Maybe you'll be ready in a few years. But you're not ready now. So I'll have my decision in a few weeks. I don't have any words right now. Sometimes no words is the best answer. Can I go? I have some work to do. You know, I have to go pick up that Simmons check. You know, she's getting a half a million dollars for a pinkie toe? Do you know how much she could've got for a big toe? You know what? If you threw in a hand and a foot she could clean up. Listen... it's gonna be fine. God... Oh... Charles, can you please stop sending me directly to your voice-mail and call me back? Please? What are you doing here? He just walked out. I was listening at the door.
I guess you were right, I... I tried to warn you. I have to admit it, I... I just don't think you understand what I did for that man. Win all those cases. Long hours. I haven't had a vacation in five years. Three days after my mother passed I was back at work. I deserve that promotion. Elston, you're an attorney. You know you don't get in life what you deserve. You get what you negotiate. When he needed you, you should've just talked to him. Now that you need him, you don't have a leg to stand on. It's your husband, though, what do I do, like... Let me just talk to him. You know, pillow talk does wonders. You would do that? Yeah. I appreciate it. Come here, I can make you feel better. No, it's... No... Look, don't say no. That's your problem. You're always looking out for somebody else and how they feel. You need to focus on yourself. Elston, I know you want to. Everybody needs somebody. Come here.
- Let me make you feel better. - Vanessa... Shh. Oh! I'm sorry to intrude. I guess I should have knocked. Well, yeah. I almost forgot you was here. The last time that Elston had a woman at his house the Bulls were winning the championship. I know you was doing the cabbage patch and everything... Okay, okay, I forgive you. So what you watching? A special on the greatest NFL defenses of all time. Hmm, okay. Okay, who would you pick: The '86 Bears or the '76 Steelers? Uh, okay, that's a good question. Well, you know, everybody knows that I'm a hardcore Bears fan... but I'm gonna have to discreetly go with the Steel Curtain on this one. You know, you can't beat that total dominance on the field. Right, right. Okay, as usual, I agree with you. You are the expert, so, you know. Please, you're a walking sports encyclopedia. Well, it is kind of impressive up there sometimes. You know what I'm saying, but you know. - I just use it for sports, you know. - Stop it. You know everything. You know, that's one of the things that I love about you. - Really?
- Yeah. You're such a smart man. - Smart man. - Mm-hmm. Uh... I should go call my mama. Jarvis, stop. Ooh, I mean... You know what, see, that right there. That right... that's what I like. Me and you, we can talk. You know, we just... it's easy. It's not complicated, it's like... And you don't try to change me. Didn't. I didn't try to change you. Didn't try to change me. Yeah, just like you... didn't have to break up with me. You didn't. I mean, you had me crying in the shower. I was singing Freddie Jackson songs. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I mean, it was... Okay, let's not dwell on the past, okay? I mean, sometimes people come into your life for a season. Yeah. Only God knows why. You know, my pastor, he preached a great word on the season of change in life last week. - Yeah? - Mm-hmm. Well, maybe you could help me with this.
What do you do when someone you thought you loved turns out that you don't actually love them at all. Pray about it. I mean, the best thing I can tell you is to be honest with yourself. Be honest with her. But... you know my relationship with God. You know how I feel about it. I mean, with her... she doesn't see eye-to-eye about that. I mean, she hates organized religion. Well, pray for her and let the Holy Spirit deal with that. I mean, look... you... you should just love her and lead by example. You should let her see what He has done in your life. Wow. You see... this is why I dream about you so often. - Okay, stop... - No, I do. I mean, I be dreaming... I'll be asleep... - Dream about you. - Stop it. I mean, because you always have the right answers. Everything you say is just... it's magical. I mean, to be honest with you, lately I've been having these nightmares and, like, really scary... - Nightmares? - Nightmares! For real, like in the daytime, at my desk, just nightmares, and you're never in them. You're always in the good dreams. Okay, please. Spare me the details. All right, whatever, whatever.
All right, well... Elston said he can't make it for lunch so, uh, how's about a hug? Uh, behave yourself. Come on, get your bigfoot over here and give me a hug now. Give me a hug. Fine. Oh, you crushed my toe. Just please stop it. All right. Keep talking about my feet. Hey, I'm not, you know, it is what it is, you know, hey. - You know I love you, right? - Mm-hm. But, uh, seriously, um thanks for the advice. Anytime. Bye. Bye. Woman: Ooh, child. I heard you in here just-a crying and a-sniffling. It can't be that bad, can it? No, I'm sorry. Can I help you? Oh, I'm Mrs. Simmons. - You know, pinkie toe. - Oh... oh. I'm sorry for your loss. Oh, don't be silly. I'm here for my check. God done took that toe back, child.
Ain't nothing I can do about that. Well, Mr. Randall, he went to pick it up. He insisted that he do it in person and deliver it to you. See, that's why I called this firm right away as soon as I had that accident. The personal service. His grandfather was like that too, you know. Well, it's the least we can do, considering... Honey, don't feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for yourself but that man better hurry up and come on because I'm late for my tango class. - Shoot. - Tango? What part of "tango" don't you understand? The "tang" or the "go"? See, that's what's wrong with you young people. You're running around here upset because your life ain't going the way you want. That's because you're not grounded in the word. You don't know how God operates. Honey, life is like a parade. You standing on the street watching but God is way up top looking down. He's in the beginning of the parade and the end of the parade. But you came. That's why we have to have faith, sister. Well, is that... Is that why He makes us feel pain? The Bible says: "Weeping endures for a night "but joy... joy cometh in the morning" Hallelujah! Try Him. Ask Him.
Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Ask Him to give you the strength so that you can endure. And you'll see. All things come together for good for those who love the Lord. That's why God let me lose this toe so I could be a blessing to somebody. See, I'm leaving most of this money for some college scholarships. Oh. Oh, yes, God had a plan, honey. Whoa, that is so generous of you. Oh, that ain't nothing, I didn't do nothing. God did it all. And this ain't nothing. My parents were junkies. Left me on a housekeeper's doorstep when I was ten. Hurt like hell. But then one day I picked up that Bible and I learned that I could not dwell in the past. My future was up to me. I couldn't let somebody else's stupid decisions impact my thoughts. I couldn't let all that anger and hurt control my life. 'Cause I knew I was somebody. - And you know why? - Why? 'Cause my Heavenly Father said so. He loves me just the way I am. I just had to learn to see myself the way God sees me and someone He loved enough to give His life for. Thank you for your kind words. Well, I'm gonna run out of kind words if that man don't hurry up and get here soon. You gonna see the soft side come right on up out of me, child. I'm going to my tango lesson. Hey, look, I know that she's your sister and everything and you're probably the last person
I need to be talking to about this but, look, man, I haven't felt this way in a long time. She's woken up something inside of me. I'm so confused. It must be going around. You know, I can feel it deep down in my heart. I can feel that little love and I just... You know what, I should confess. No, I can't confess, that would be a nightmare. You know, usually I always got somebody to talk to about this but, you know, my mama, she got that samba dance-off tonight so that's a no-go. - I gotta get out of here. - What? Cover for me. - Hey, uh, okay. - Cover for me. Some friend you are. Oh. Lord, Lord! Lord, I know it's been a while. It's been a long, long while but I can't do this no more. I'm empty. I'm gonna put my trust in you. I'm... give it all to you and see what you have in store for my life. I'm through with married men. I'm not dating no more of them and I'm through with all of that nonsense. And I'm gonna stop trying to cover up the pain with material things and improper relationships I know ain't going nowhere. I'm just trusting you and I'm gonna give it to you, Lord. I'm gonna give it all to you. Amen. Amen.
You're moving up in the corporate world. No more of this mom-and-pop nonsense. Yeah, you're right. You gotta be the lion in the jungle that roars. Look, I say you let him work for you another year or two... then maybe you'll reconsider after the merger. Maybe a promotion, maybe not. Now remember what we talked about. I don't... I don't want to tell any of the other senior lawyers that I'm going to put $500,000 bonus aside for them, okay? - Mm-hmm, you're the boss. - All right, until after the merger. And I've already put Elston's money aside, okay? How do you know he won't take this money and start his own firm and take a couple of your clients or two? I say reconsider. That's why I love you 'cause you're so cunning and you're so shrewd. Love you too. Give me a kiss. You better go. I'll talk to you later. I need to talk to you, Jarvis. Do I have a choice? Not really. Okay, I'll just do what I do best. I'll get talked at. You see... that right there is exactly my point. I have done everything, everything to try to get over what you did to us. To help us stay together. But I have so much anger and pain towards you and I don't know how to let it go.
Look, I've been through therapy. I've been down to the church. I've cried in front of the whole congregation. Just, I had... I'm crying like Jimmy Swaggart in front of a whole church for you. To show you that I'm sorry. But... it's not enough. I've asked God for forgiveness. But that doesn't matter. I really need your forgiveness. You had no right... You had no right... to hurt me like that, Jarvis. What do you want? What do you want, hmm? You think I'm supposed to take this punishment day in after day, huh? Do you want blood? Raven, do you want blood? Well, here, here. - I'll take blood. - No, I don't want blood, Jarvis. Take it, you want blood. Obviously you do. - Obviously you do because you... - No. You know what? Look, I know that you're not in love with me anymore. And you know how I know? That's not true. 'Cause you used to have a light in your eyes every time you looked at me. And that light has gone out, Jarvis.
Why? Why? Because you've taken that light and you've chewed it out of me. You know, do you even know who I am anymore? Look, I... I'm a social butterfly. I like to get out, I like to socialize with people. I like to see and get to know the world. I tried to take you to church. You didn't want to do that. I tried to pray with you, you don't want to do that. What am I gonna do now? I can't... I can't go on like this. - I'm sorry... - No, you're not sorry. Because I know when that light went. I saw it when you looked at her. Do you even love me anymore? Come on with this... Do you even love me? What kind of question... what kind of question... - Just answer the question, Jarvis. - I... - I... - Don't. Just... just don't. I'll have my sister pack my things. - It doesn't have to end like this.
- Don't! Don't. You should've thought about that when you slept with her. I'm sorry we didn't get to spend much time together. I mean, you've been working so much. I know. I feel so terrible. It's okay. I mean, I needed the quiet time. And plus, your couch is so comfortable. I could really move in. Well, you know, my couch is your couch. Listen, you need anything? You need some money or something or... Your baby sis is all grown up now. I can take care of myself. You make me feel so old. I cannot process how fast you're growing up. Well, we'll have plenty of time to talk about it - at the Super Bowl. - Yes, we will. 'Cause what man in his right mind would turn down free Super Bowl tickets, huh? Come here, give me a hug. Give me a hug. - I'm glad you came. - Yeah, me too. Um... I know I don't say this, but... - I've always looked up to you. - Aw.
