I never thought I'd meet
someone that's perfect

Hmm

I never thought that...

...Someone could make my mind
go round in circles

Hmmm

I never thought there was...

A beach with
jet-black sand in Jersey

Ooh, hmm

Like my legs

I can't walk around without
you

Like my heart

The rhythm's
bound to change without you

The way it beats

Tappin' on my mind



When I think about you girl

Holdin' on,
I can't let go of you

Oh, yeah

Said I heard

That it never really
rains in Arizona

That's what I heard,
and it came

From the mouth of the one
that I'm all in love with

Girl

Like the words of a preacher
to the ears of a deacon

Your eyes don't see
the same when you're sleepin'

I'm so in love, in love

Guess I'm goin' to Arizona

Just be obedient

- Hey, Ma.

You home?

- [water running]
- [dishes clanking]

- MOM: Kevin?

- KEVIN: [chuckles]
- Oh!

[laughing]

Oh, I didn't expect to see you
for another two weeks!

Boy, you can't just
pop in here like that,

how do you know I haven't
found a man?

- Who? Jesus? Ain't nobody
in here but Jesus.

- Oh, boy, stop! Come here,
let me get a good look at you,

collard greens, cornbread
and yams.

let me see.

You all skinny.

I need to fatten you up.

We going shopping tonight,
we gon' get you some pork ribs,

collard greens corn bread

It's all that fast-paced life
you living.

And that no-good ex.

Thank God, ex!
- Ah, Mama, don't start.

- You right, don't get me
started. She was a hot mess.

Gold digger. And I'm glad
you got rid of her.

- Are you done? Are you done?

- Matter of fact, I am.

Now, I wasn't expecting you
for two weeks,

what brings you home now?

- Terry in rehab, I wanna make
sure I'm on top of that.

- Is everything alright?

- Yeah,
I'm gonna keep it that way.

Especially with this draft
coming up soon.

- Do you think
he really has a shot?

- Well, if he's 100%
healthy, yeah.

- Well, then it's good
you came home, then, baby.

God got you.
- [chuckles]

- Now, since this
is a surprise,

I really didn't have no time
to prepare anything,

except some cookies
I picked up earlier,

and I got some tea over there
on the stove.

- Mama, don't worry about
nothing, I ate on the way.

- You know, everybody is really,
really happy

and very thankful
for you believing in Terry.

Lord knows he could use
that right now,

little dude ain't know
my son really ain't got

nothing better to do.

Well, am I lying?

- [scoffs] What the--?
- MOM: [laughing]

You hate coaching.

You ain't really been happy

since you
stopped playing football

in Canada.

- Ma, why are you throwing
these little blows at me today?

I just got here.
- MOM: Boy, you know I love you.

And I wanna see you happy.

That's what moms are for.

- Yeah. Yeah. [slurps]
That's what moms are for.

- MOM: I know this is new
territory for you,

but you're the best person
for this job,

and you're the only one
who still believes in him

after that girl's bullshit
accu--excuse me, Lord,

you know I slip sometimes.
- [chuckles]

- After this girl's accusations.

You know, she didn't show up
until he became an NBA prospect,

and just like that, all
the people who believed in him

went the other way,
except you. Now.

He sort of reminds me of you
when you were in high school,

remember? After all that
went down with little Jasmine?

When she left...
you were pretty messed up.

You even quit playing football
after that,

didn't even play
your senior year.

Luckily,
someone believed in you.

- Yeah. Well, you know what?
I got a good lawyer on him.

I just wanna do right, Ma.

You know this--all this is
new to me.

There's a difference between
playing Canadian football

and now I'm--I'm a agent,
and I have a client

that's playing a totally
different sport.

- You're gonna do great, baby.

I believe in you.
We all believe in you.

- [birds chirping]

- Yeah, so we have Monday
available at 2:00. Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, see you then--

Oh, sorry,
we have Monday at 1:30.

Okay, we'll send a text
confirmation. See you then.

- What are they talking about?
- What they saying?

- They saying your vertical
is not that good,

of course we know that,
you got your ankle messed up.

- Come on, man.
- That's stupid.

- Hey, guys, has my, uh,
1:30 arrived yet?

- Uh, let me check.

- TERRY: What else they saying?

- Jasmine?

- Kevin?

- KEVIN: Wow.

Wow.

- Long time.

- [laughing] Who are you
telling? Too long.

- What's it been?
Like, high school?

- Uh, something like
17 years now?

- It's a very long time.
- Yeah, yeah.

Too long, I must say.

- So, are you injured?
What are you doing here?

- Me? Oh. I'm so sorry, my--
my client, um, my client,

Terry Matthews, yeah,
he has a appointment here

to see the doctor.
- That would be me.

Yeah, Dr. Smith is out
with a family matter,

so I'm covering
his appointments.

- You're a doctor?!
- JASMINE: Yes, I am.

Physical therapist.
- KEVIN: Wow.

- In fact,
I head up the clinic.

- KEVIN: Head of the clinic.
- Yes, head of the clinic.

- Wow, this is...honestly
good news all the way around,

it's like a big sigh of relief
because, uh, I actually know

that Terry's gonna be
in good hands.

- Terry.
Hello, Dr. Washington.

Let's get you in the back
and see how you're progressing.

- Okay.
- Right this way.

- [phone ringing]

- JASMINE: How does this feel?
- Ah, ah, it hurts right there.

- It's okay, it's okay, alright.
What about this direction?

- Not so much right there.
- Not so bad? Alright. Alright.

Still a bit tender,
but you're healing nicely.

Alright, so here's how
we're gonna keep you on track.

Don't apply too much pressure,

keep your same four-days-a-week
sessions with Dr. Smith,

and within another four to six
months, you'll be good as new.

- I'll be fine, right, Doc?
- Like it never happened.

- Alright.
- JASMINE: [chuckles]

Ah. Alright.
Easy, easy, easy.

Alright? That's your
money-maker, baby, so...

- I got it, I got it.
- [laughs]

- Um, I like everything
you said, but...why not you?

- Because I have
a full schedule.

- Okay.

- It was great seeing you,
Kevin.

- Okay. You too, Jasmine.

- YOUNG JASMINE: I feel bad you
didn't go celebrate

with your team.

We could've went,
I don't mind.

To you. After another
great game and for being

so highly recruited as a junior.

I'm really happy for you.
- Thank you.

- I colored it and everything
for you.

- [chuckles] I see that.

I actually might keep this one.
- You better!

- BOTH: [laughing]

- Ah, thank you, though,
I like it.

What's up with these records,
though?

- Yeah, I love collecting.
- TLC.

- Mm-hmm.
- How d'you know about them?

- They're my favorite.
- Yeah. That's what's up.

No hip-hop, though.
- Nope. No hip-hop.

One day, I'm gonna meet
each of them

and have them personally
autographed.

- Mm, I mean, if you ask me
personally,

I think you're doper than
all these artists. I'm serious.

And one day...when you go
big and famous,

I want front-row seats
to every one.

- Thanks.
- Yeah, you're welcome.

- And you got my word. [laughs]
- Alright then. [chuckles]

I'm curious, though, why do you
go to school so far away?

I mean, you're the only person
I know that lives in Inglewood

but goes to school all the way
in Santa Monica.

- Well, you can thank
my parents for that.

They just...never really
liked this area very much.

The only reason I live here is
because they're away on duty

and my Auntie Addis lives here.
- Addis.

- They feel Santa Monica
Catholic Prep gives me

a better opportunity,
especially for singing.

- I mean, it does make sense.
- Can I ask you something?

- What's up?

- Out of all the girls
at your school, why me?

- You're unique.

And...

Nobody else had
a voice like yours.

- But...

Am I pretty?
- Are you pretty? Really?

Really?!
- [laughs]

- Come here, give me some.

Yeah, you're pretty.

- JASMINE: [exhales]
It was nice.

Oh, before I forget,
Sonya and Briana both said

to tell you hello.

And Sonya invited us over
to the house for dinner.

- I'll keep that in mind.

- Robert, come on.
Honey, hanging out with them

tonight reminded me that I need
to get out more.

We need to get out more.

Honey, all we ever do is work
and we barely see each other.

- Then go out with your girls,
babe, nobody's stopping you.

- I will.

So what about you?

Just another
long day at the office?

- It wasn't bad.

- JASMINE:
Huh, that's interesting.

I mean, you did just roll
up in here at 2:00AM,

you still got on your work
clothes,

you're just getting home, so,
you know... [chuckles]

- Uh, me and a couple of guys
from the job

stopped and grabbed
drinks afterwards.

- Oh. Really. What guys?

- Uh...you know, John,
and...

- JASMINE: Oh, yes, John.

The guy with the mail-order
bride from Russia?

- Yes, that John.
- JASMINE: Oh, wow.

How could I forget John?
Who else?

- ROBERT: Um...

just some random people,
nobody important.

- Oh, it must've been kinda
important for you to just be

getting home at 2:00AM.

- Damn, Jasmine, what is
with all these questions?

- JASMINE:
Okay, calm down, please.

Alright? I was just asking
'cause I was thinking that...

[stumbles] since you were out
anyway, that maybe

you could've joined us.
- ROBERT: Maybe next time.

- [scoffs]
- [water running]

- [phone vibrates]

- Ha.

- [sighs] Look,
tell your friends

that we have bigger goals
and bigger dreams,

and that's why we have to work
like we do.

Okay? Alright?

[sighs] [kisses]

What's wrong?

- Just not in the mood.
Goodnight.

- Three, yeah, come on, come on.
Oh, yeah.

Two, there you go, come on.

One more, one more,
one more, one more.

- [groans]

- One more for the hood, boy.
- One more for the hood.

One more for the hood.
[groans]

- Yeah, man.
Not bad for a weakling.

- Okay, who you calling
weak, little limpy boy?

You better watch it.
- Whoa.

- You still got it,
even though

you got the little limpy leg.
- TERRY: [grunts]

- Let's see what
you about to do, huh?

- TERRY: Finn'a go about
15 to 20--

Wally. Wally!

- WALLY: [snoring]

- Man, can you please spot him
while I take this call?

- TERRY: I don't need a spot,
I got this.

- [phone continues ringing]

- Why you calling me?
- GABRIELLE: I miss you.

A lot.
- [scoffs]

Now you realize that, huh?
- GABRIELLE: If you give me

a minute to explain--
- Can we talk about this later,

please?
- GABRIELLE: I miss you, baby.

- Okay.
- GABRIELLE: I love you.

- TERRY: Wally. Wally! Wally!
- Hey, man!

I thought you said
you had it, man!

- [door creaks]

- Sorry to keep you waiting.
- Hi.

- Hello.

So.

Everything looks fine.

There's nothing in here
that suggests that you can't

get pregnant naturally.

It could be that you're
taking on a lot of stress

and sometimes that prevents.

My suggestion to you
is to remain patient

and right now, I don't
recommend an IVF,

especially at this stage.
- Okay.

- I know that you guys have
been trying for some time,

but keep trying,
and try to limit your stress.

Go out, have some fun.
- [exhales]

- It will happen
when it's supposed to.

- Wow. [chuckles]

Not exactly what we wanted
to hear, but, uh...

we all know how much he--
we want this, and...

I guess we'll just keep
on trying.

- Yes, we will keep...trying.

- Okay.

Luke, Chapter 15,
points at a love

that never gets cold.

- Yes.
- PREACER: The pensman today

wants us to see
not a son who leaves home

and indulge in riotous living.

The writer wants us not to see
a son who trusts friends

who work only with him
because of what he had.

Instead,
my brothers and sisters,

the text is tailored
to teach us about the love

that the father has in spite
of the son.

- [agreeing]

- PREACHER:
This lesson teaches us that...

- [phone ringing]
- Yes, ma'am?

- NURSE: Hey, Jas.

Your 12:30 just called
and cancelled.

You can go ahead and leave
for the day if you like

and I'll lock up.

- Uh...I think I'm gonna stay

and play
a little bit of catch-up.

- NURSE: Okay, do you mind
if I go ahead and leave?

- Hmm.

It is Sunday, isn't it?

Enjoy your weekend.

- NURSE: Okay,
then, see you later.

- PREACHER: "Father, father--"
- Night.

- "--I don't deserve to be
your son, I've done wrong,

I've been out in the bottom
of life."

Father looks around and tells
the servant,

"Bring me a robe
and bring me a ring,

"I must remind my son
of who he is

and who he belongs to."

- CONGREGATION: [agreeing]
- [applause]

-

- Jasmine, I need you
to pick up that note.

You're sounding a tad flat,
girl.

And stand up, ladies,
this ain't aerobic class.

- Okay.

- MILTON: [clears throat]

-

- Have your way,
Holy Spirit, have your way

[laughs]

Ooh, it looks good.
- Ooh. Looking good.

No, ah-uh! Not ready yet.

Little too hot.

There we go. You got it, girl.

That's what I'm talking about.

- [laughs]

- A broken arm doesn't mean
a broken spirit.

You keep that head held high,
okay?

- [phone ringing]

- Yes, Daddy,
for the 100th time, I'm excited.

[sniffles]

- [phone ringing]

- Hey.
- YOUNG JASMINE: I need you.

- Hey, you okay?

- YOUNG JASMINE:
Can you get to church?

- I'm on my way, alright?

What's wrong?

- Come on, Kev,
what's taking so long? Let's go!

Hey, yo, dude,
we're hungry, let's go.

Hey, yo, plus $10 for gas.

Man, tell us we didn't
come all this way for this lame.

You gotta be kidding me, Kev.

Come on, bro, this is a dog.

You better than this, Kev.
Hey, yeah.

Hey, Kevin just lost
the player card for this one.

- [laughing]
- GUY: Come on, man.

You're better than this,
tell me this ain't for real.

- No, man,
you know me better than that.

It's just some girl
from church, bro.

- GUY: If you're this desperate,
I got this girl in Home Ec,

whoa, she's a dime piece, bro.

Better than this duck, look it,
high socks, ashy knees.

What? Oh, okay, bye. Bye!

do you love me?

'Cause if you love me...
then you should tell her,

but if you love her,
why are you always here with me?

- Look, come on now,

When did you start
smoking cigarettes?

- Don't judge, Kev.
- [chuckles] I'm not, I'm not.

Uh, may I?

Um...just to give you
a little update on the boy.

He's doing real good.
Big progress, and, uh,

they want to apply
pressure on it now.

- Yeah, he's a good kid.
- Yeah?

- Told you a thousand
times he would be fine.

- You did. You did say that.
[laughs]

[clears throat]

Jasmine, back in the day--
- No, no.

Absolutely not,
don't even try to go there.

- I'm going inside
to check on the boy.

I just wanted to tell you
I was sorry.

- Sorry? Sorry?!

After all these years that's
all you got to say is sorry?!

What I wanna know
is how the hell

you could just stand there.

At the time that I needed you
most,

you couldn't even defend me?!

Kev, I thought you had my back.

- Jasmine,
for the past 17 years

I've had to live with that.

It's been haunting me
ever since.

I would do anything
to take that day back.

- There are some things in life
we can't take back.

-

- [no audible speech]

-

- Ms. Addis.

Where's she going?

- Haven't you done enough?

She don't need your kind
of trouble right now.

- Look, I never meant to hurt
her, I was just being a jerk,

and I'm sorry, like,
when is she coming back?

- Just leave her be.

Just leave her be.
- Please! I need to talk to her!

- She needed to speak
to you too, boy, where were you?

- I know, I'm s--
- ADDIS: Is she a dog to you?

Huh?! Somebody to come
when you call? Huh?!

- No, I'm gonna make it up
to her, I promise,

I just need to know
when she's coming back.

- She's not coming back!

There's been a accident.
Her mother died, boy.

She needed you, and you missed
the chance to be there for her.

Go on and go home!
Get on out of here!

- Look, I was a stupid
little kid.

- Dude, I don't wanna--
- I said I am sorry, okay?

I'm sorry.

-

- [yelling]

Come on, come on, boy!

-

- Yeah, come on!
Just like old times, baby!

Keep it going, come on!
Come on!

[unintelligible]

Come on! No, we not.
No we not--

Come on, Mister "I'm accountable
to do all this,

"what you gon' do today?

Whatever we gon' do,
I'm gonna work out," come on!

- I thought we were gonna,
like, do a couple of...

brisk walks around the gym.

- No, we was never doing
no brisk walks or nothing,

we was coming here to work out,
that's what we was doing, okay?

- Some of us didn't play
football after college,

you know?
The only running I'm doing

is for cheeseburgers
and donuts.

- What?
- We gotta ease into this!

- Man, nobody easing
into nothing, alright?

You over here running around,
right?

Feeling like you pregnant,
and you look pregnant,

and then--man, what is that?
You're eating the wrong food,

that's your main problem!
- It's just a snack.

- Ain't no snack.
- Listen.

The girls in the 'Wood like
men with a little meat

on their bones, not like
those Santa Monica types.

What's her name? Jomanda?
- Man, Jasmine.

- [laughing]
- [laughs]

- WALLY: How's that going?
- Not good.

- Well, give it up,
she's out of your league.

She's probably in one of those
big houses in the Palisades,

dating one of them rich actors.

You're broke.

Until Terry hits the NBA,

you ain't got nothing
going for ya.

Move on!
- Yeah, appreciate that, Wally.

Making me feel a whole
lot worse.

- WALLY: That's what
I'm here for, man.

- KEVIN: Yeah, you asshole.
- [laughing] Listen, seriously.

What you guys did to her
back then...

even if she never
speaks to you again,

at least you got to say
your piece,

and now you can move on.

- Thanks, man. Yeah, thanks.
Like, I feel a lot better, man.

- Me too.
- KEVIN: Yeah.

- This is my kids' lunch.
Let's get a burger.

- Wooh, definitely, 'cause
I am definitely starving.

Let's go, you're gonna drive.
[laughs]

- [groans]
- KEVIN: I know that.

I know that,
we're not doing that.

I'm not doing that.
- [groaning] Spasms.

- I'm not doing that, Wally.
- Oh, it's moving!

It's going down the leg!
Oh, God, help me up.

Help me up, help me up.
- Come on, man.

You're too lazy, dude.
- [grunts]

- Come on, I can't--
- [groans]

- Come on, Wally, get up!
- [groaning]

-

- Did I ever tell you that
when I was a kid,

all I wanted to do was sing?

- I didn't know that.
Learn something new every day.

- And one day, I just stopped.

Didn't love it anymore.

But for some reason,
I was thinking about it

the other day and realized
that...

it's not because I didn't
love singing, but...

that I associated it with
all these horrible things

that were happening
at the same time.

- Or, it's called
accepting reality, growing up.

I mean, what's the chances you
would've made it anyway?

Gotta stop living in the past.

Gotta go.

- [door opens, shuts]

- Heck is wrong with this
dang thing?

Alright, here we go--

Hey.
- Hey.

- Yeah, I was, uh,
no use inside.

- Hmm.

- While he was getting
his ankle rehabbed,

came out here.

- Guess that could get
kind of weird.

- I know, right?

- I told you you don't have
to come to all of his sessions,

he's in good hands, I promise.

- Well, I'm very hands-on.

Especially with my first client.

- Well, it's a beautiful day
and I'm going out for a walk.

Care to join me?

- [exhales] Okay.

- Hmm. This way. [chuckles]

- It's just weird how we
ran into each other.

- Weird?
- Yeah.

- Dude, I was in shock.
- Hmm.

So, how--how long have you
been here?

- Hmm, about a year and a half.

I came back but briefly
about four years ago

when Aunt Addis passed.

♪

- Sorry to hear that.
- I know. She was so sweet.

- I remember her.
- Yeah, she'd been sick

for a long time, so.
- Huh.

- After that I didn't
have a reason to come back

until my husband got
an executive position

with Bank of America and...
we chose to come here.

- Husband?
- Hmm. Five years.

Then one of his high-profile
clients needed

a physical therapist
for his office and...

I got the gig, ha-ha.
Thank you very much.

- Congratulations.
- Appreciate that. Mm-hmm.

So, what's up with you,
you married?

- Was engaged but it didn't
work out.

- Sorry to hear that.
- No big deal.

- So I've been trying
to figure this out,

are you a sports agent
for basketball, football,

baseball, soccer,
what you doing? [laughs]

- I actually wouldn't say
all that, you know,

I kinda got thrown into
my situation.

- Ah. Got it.
- Yeah, um, got my first client.

- Ooh, bravo to you.
- After college, I...

played Canadian football
for five years,

and then I started coaching
and...

- Wow. [laughs]
- Here I am. [chuckles]

- Okay, that's some
journey, Kev.

- Yeah, well, the best part
of the journey is,

what can I say?
Being on the West Coast.

- Ah.
- 'Cause...

the East Coast weather...
- I hate snow.

- Yeah.
- I like to hibernate

in the wintertime.
- You can love it sometimes,

it all depends.
- [chuckles]

Yeah, everything depends.
- [laughs]

- It's beautiful.
- Yeah.

[clicks tongue]

- [laughs] Wow.

- It's nice.
- It's very nice.

- [laughing]
- I mean, it was nice,

but it was kind of weird,

'cause it was like
being in high school again.

- [humming]
- Aw, that's sweet.

- Very sweet.
- Okay.

- Very sweet.
- He's a sports agent.

- He's a sports agent, yes.
- Is he single?

- He's off the market, Briana.
- Oh, bummer.

- [giggling]
- Here you go, ladies.

- Oh, my.
My, my, my, my.

Hmm. I'm next. [clears throat]
Thank you, darling.

- And the cookies will be
done in ten.

- SONYA: Thank you, baby.
- Anything for you.

- JASMINE: Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm!
What you been doing, Sonya?!

- Where did you find him?!
- My gosh, I was sittin' here

thinking the same thing,
what's up?

- You know, he is a keeper,
isn't he?

- JASMINE: Girl.
- A girl at work introduced us,

and get this.
- JASMINE: Mm-hmm.

- He's studying to become
a pastor.

- Okay, okay, so he wanna
be a pastor.

- SONYA: Mm-hmm.

- Have you been
to the mountaintop?!

[screams, laughs]
- [laughing]

- Have you been?
- SONYA: [laughing]

- Okay, yeah, uh,
how are things working

in the sex department?
- Um, you know what?

We're working on that.

You know,
I'm still breaking him in.

- Breaking him in or breaking
him also?

- BRIANA: [laughs]
- [teasing laugh]

- Hey! [laughing]
Okay, okay, well,

how long have you known him?

And why haven't you told us
about him?

You tell us about
every other guy.

- 'Cause I didn't wanna
jinx it,

and you know you talk too much.

- Hmm, you do talk
too much, Bri.

- We've been taking it slow,
he's a keeper,

we only just now started
discussing, like,

being exclusive.
- Okay, I respect that.

- It's only been nine months.
- [coughs] And no sex?!

Oh, no!
- Is that all you think about?

- Uh, yes!
- Sonya. Girl--

- Stop it. He wants
to do things God's way, okay?

He wants to develop a more
emotional,

spiritual connection first.

- Mm-mm, he gotta go.

- Girl, you better make
some contact.

Connection, contact.
- Yeah, test it out.

- And you know what?
That's why you're single.

- But I'm relaxed.
- Single.

- Mm. This is so good.
- Ah. So.

Tell me about your husband.
- BOTH: [laughing]

- Besides the obvious
successful businessman.

- Well, there isn't much to say.

Not good anyway. [laughs]
- Wow.

- Are we really gonna do this?
- Yes. Really are.

- Well, after my mom died,

on the same day that what
happened between us happened,

I was...very messed up.

I knew there was no way
that I could survive

that kind of pain again,
so I closed myself off

to pretty much everyone,
buried myself in work,

and did my damndest
to succeed at everything I could

to make Daddy happy again.

But in the process,
I lost myself.

Could never quite reconnect
with that positive dreamer

I used to be.

Kevin, do you remember how much
I loved music and singing?

- I sure do. [chuckles]

- Well, I just found out
the other day that my husband

had no idea.
- What?

- Yeah, he had no idea
and he also didn't care.

- What? Like, where did
this come from?

- I don't know, but come on,
I knew the man I was marrying.

You know, Robert is the kind
of guy who loves a challenge.

And for years I think he saw me
as some sort of mystery.

I don't know, figure out
how to crack the code

and get beneath the surface,
and I never let him in.

He gave up and now we're more
like...roommates

than husband and wife.
- Mm-mm-mm.

Roommates?
- Mm-hmm.

- [laughs]
- Yeah, if I'm gonna compare it

to something, I would say
were're roommates, and--

- That's funny.
- That's very pathetic.

- You good with me. You good.
That's... [laughs]

Wow. [laughs]

- Oh, my gosh!
Okay, enough of my drama.

What's yours? What's--what's up
with you?

- Oh. Mine?
- Mm-hmm.

- Well. Me and Gabrielle,
we--we met in Toronto

after one of my games and...
everything was great with us.

And me, you know?
Until the injuries started

piling up and then, finally,
after five average seasons,

I was like, "I'm done with this.
I'm done," you know?

And I give her some credit,
you know,

she tried to stick about while
I dibbled and dabbled

into the coaching thing,
but that wasn't her thing, so...

mm, she started sneaking around
with one of my former teammates.

[chuckles]
- What a cunt.

- Yeah.
- [laughs]

- Big one.
- And I'm not sorry I said that.

- Oh, it's all good.
It's all good.

The good thing is...
me and you talking again.

- This is kinda nice, isn't it?

[laughs]

Oh, do you remember
after school,

how we'd meet at the park
and we'd sit on the bench

and you would tell me about
your day

and I would tell you about mine.
- My days was never good.

- [laughing]
- Well, mine sucked

'cause everybody teased me.
- No, it's okay.

We was kids, you know.
- Why are kids so mean?

- No filters.
- [laughing]

- Right?
- Filters?

- No filter, they just go.
Just go with the flow.

- [laughs] Hmm.

- Hey, um...

- Hmm? [chuckles]

- [chuckles]

- I'm sorry about that.

I didn't mean to,
I'm very sorry.

it was amazing! [laughs]

- [squeaks, laughs]

- It was so intense,
but still, he was gentle

- [laughing]

-

- You know, God gave us
ten commandments.

- [agreeing]

- But he broke it down
into two.

He said love God
with your heart, soul and mind.

Second he gave us,
love your neighbor

as you love yourself.

You got to love yourself
before you love your neighbors.

- WOMAN: Mm-mm.
- WOMAN 2: Yeah.

you get to know God.

you did.

Mama you was quiet
the whole trip, what's wrong?

- You don't wanna hear
what I have to say.

- It's about Jasmine.
What is it? Hmm?

- What you're doing is wrong.

- What I'm doing is wrong?

Because we still care
for each other?

- Because she's still
someone else's wife.

Until that changes on paper...

it's wrong, it's a sin.

I raised you better
than this.

- [phone ringing]

- Look, Mama, you--you just
don't understand.

- What are yout talking about,
boy? She's a married woman.

You're not in high school,

this is now

- Mama, she a grown woman,
alright?

And we're just having fun.

- Does she know it's just fun?
- [phone ringing]

- That girl has been through
enough, she's lost.

She need Jesus, not you
having fun at her expense.

Don't break her heart
all over again,

I raised you better than this.

You may be your father's son,
but you're not your father,

and I just want you to know,
God don't reward ugly.

I'm not gonna hurt her, alright?

attention and don't listen.

Wally, I said two hours man!

Why don't you never liste--?

- GABRIELLE: Hey, baby.
- Gabrielle.

- Sorry to drop in
on you like this.

- I thought you was in Seattle.
- And I was,

but we weren't
getting anywhere over the phone

and I wanted to see you
face to face.

[chuckles] Your mom gave me
your home address.

I just can't figure out
for the life of me

why that woman doesn't like me.

- I can tell you a million
reasons why.

Hold on, wha--what--what
you doing here?

- I know that we both messed up,
okay?

But...

I missed you.

- You said "We both."
I didn't cheat!

- Well, I don't know that!

I wasn't with you all those
times you were on the road!

- What are you talkin' about?!
you slept with my teammate!

- Former teammate!
- Same thing, Gabrielle!

- When you say it like that
you make it sound

like I was making my rounds.

- Oh, my God, what did he do?
Throw you to the curb?

And now you wanna
come back to me? Huh?!

- Actually, I kicked him
to the curb.

- KEVIN: [scoffs]
- And he was a loser.

But really, I realized that...

...all I want is you.

- That's nice and sweet of you.

But...when is your flight?
Hmm? When is your flight?

Because...I am a totally
different man now,

I'm doing different things
that I like and I'm managing

this kid and it's like--
it's unbelievable.

- I know. And I love
this new you, baby,

Is there somebody else?

Ah.

Yes.

Not at all.

You sound just like my mom.
Come on, now.
