Jumping the Broom (2011) - full transcript
Two very different families converge on Martha's Vineyard one weekend for a wedding.
[Bobby] Wow!
Where did you come from?
You're beautiful, caring.
And don't get me started
about that sexy body.
You're the type
of woman a man keeps.
And I know
you're working later,
but, baby,
I need to see you tonight.
Well, I wanna
see you tonight, too.
Uh, baby, can I
call you right back?
Yeah. No, I promise.
All right, sexy.
Yeah, I gotta go.
No, I promise, I promise.
All right, beautiful. Bye.
[hangs up] Breakfast?
Oh! I gotta go.
I just remembered
I have a 10:00 photo shoot.
[Sabrina] Oh, God,
I did it again.
I gave up the cookie
for a cute face,
nice body, and some
mediocre conversation.
I don't even think he
can spell "mediocre."
I promise, God, again,
that if you get me
out of this situation
with some dignity...
[laughing]
Okay, just get me out of here.
I promise to only
share my cookies
with my future husband.
No more of this.
And, God, because it's obvious
I don't know how to
spot a human being,
could you please make it clear
who you want me to be with?
I mean, clear clear,
the kind of clear that...
-Hey...
-Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Oh, no!
Are you okay?
Oh, my God!
Sir, are you okay?
I am so sorry!
I didn't see you.
I mean, you came
out of nowhere.
I could've killed you.
Do you know that?
I could've killed you!
Are you okay?
You look okay,
but you could be dying
of internal bleeding,
where people have concussions
and they think they're fine
and then they go to sleep
and then they never wake up.
You could be dying.
Oh, my God, I killed you.
I'm not dead. I'm alive.
Well, listen,
my name is Sabrina Watson.
I have great insurance
and an excellent dry cleaner.
I even have a good enough job
to pay for dinner.
I clearly owe you,
and you could have
whatever you want on the menu.
-Well, except for
the cookie plate.
-Sabrina?
Sabrina Watson?
Breathe.
I'm fine.
[Sabrina] God, did I say
how much I love
your sense of humor?
-[Jason] Verdict?
-[Sabrina] Amazing.
My parents took
me to see Carmen
when I was a little girl.
Back then, you know,
all that mattered to me
was the music
and the costumes.
But now,
I realize it's all
about love and anger
and how they're linked,
but, ultimately...
Incompatible.
Jason Taylor,
you are full of surprises.
Babe, I have you
to thank for it.
I mean, to think that
I grew up in this city
and all this time
I had no idea...
Come on, let's go.
...that all this
was available to us.
-I mean, opera?
-You liked it?
-I loved it.
-Really?
But, babe, you can't
tell the guys about
all the stuff we do.
They're still hazing me
about the picnic we had
in Central Park.
Okay, fine.
You promise?
Pinky swear.
I trust you.
So, I hear
the Peking Opera
is fantastic.
Supposedly, it's like nothing
you've ever seen before.
Peking?
You got the offer.
It's cutting-edge IP
law and a 20% pay raise.
-Wow.
-Couldn't say no.
I understand.
Congrats. Uh...
When would you start?
-Two months.
-Two months?
So soon?
Yeah.
Wow. Two months.
Jason, I know we haven't
been together that long,
and I probably have no
right to ask you this,
but I just feel like...
[sighs] I don't know.
Do you think we could
try to make it work?
Babe, China is
really far away.
-I don't know.
-There's the telephone
-and Internet
and Skype, and...
-Skype.
And I'd be back
every two months
for meetings.
Look, uh...
I just... The long
distance thing, I...
I don't know. I don't...
I don't believe in it.
So, what does that mean?
It means that you have
a really good opportunity
in front of you,
and I'm not gonna
stand in the way of it.
Well, it sounds to me
like you made up your mind.
It was a fun night.
♪ You're such a perfect lover
♪ And, baby,
you could do better than me
♪ But you stuck
by me like a soldier

Look, Sabrina,
ever since I met you,
I've felt like...
Like I can accomplish
anything, anywhere.
New York, China.
It doesn't matter,
as long as we're together.
You've introduced
me to a world
that I can't even
begin to imagine
living without you.
I don't want to.
I want you
in my life forever.
Sabrina, I prayed on it,
and God answered
me with you.
Sabrina Watson,
would you marry me?
[exclaims]
[crying]
You scared me!
Babe, is that a yes?
Yes!
You said yes, right?
Yes.

[Claudine] Mabel?
Let's give each of
the couples an extra bag
of the wasabi peanuts.
Yes, Mrs. Watson.
-I'm sorry.
-Amy. Are you okay?
Yes, I tend to
get a little nervous
before a big event.
You do plan big events
for a living, no?
Yes, I do, ma'am.
And as to yours,
tomorrow is day one.
The, um, workmen will
arrive in the morning
to hoist the tent
for the reception.
Jason and Sabrina will meet
with Reverend James
to discuss the service.
The bulk of the guests
will be arriving on
the midday ferry,
followed by 3:00 pm,
the rehearsal.
And then cocktails
and the rehearsal dinner
in the tent.
Amy, remember,
I just want everything
to be very simple,
-elegant and modern,
you know?
-Mmm-hmm.
And I need to
have a long table
so we can all sit together
like one big, happy family.
That is gonna be so fun to do
at the round tables
I was told to order.
Right. Not to worry
about that.
I'll just make
that go bye-bye.
-Oh, good.
-Continue.
Right. Day two,
the big day, Saturday.
Breakfast on the deck.
Later, the women
will primp and groom
while the men play football.
A Watson family tradition
I wish I could ignore.
Like the round tables,
I can make that go away.
Back to the wedding.
All right,
rental chairs and lanterns
will be arranged
here on the lawn.
The ceremony
begins at 2:00 pm sharp
with dinner and
dancing to follow.
And on Sunday morning,
Jason and I will be
Mr. and Mrs.
Jason Edgar Taylor.
Girl!
Oh...
-Oh, wow. Okay.
-Yeah.
Well, I'm gonna
check on...
What's wrong?
Oh, Mom, come on.
Oh, it's just...
It's just all so rushed.
No time for
an engagement party
or bridal shower.
Really, Sabrina.
It looks as if we
have no home training.
We should've taken
months to plan this.
Really, why the rush?
If you're pregnant,
you can tell me.
For the millionth time,
no, I'm not pregnant.
Okay? Trust me.
Jason and I are in love,
really in love.
We wanna go to China
as husband and wife,
a team.
Jason makes a good impression,
but we haven't
met his family yet.
What are they like?
Oh, Amy! Let's put
some greens in
with the roses, okay?
-For, like, a pop of color.
-Sabrina.
Oh, and Bellinis.
Mom, you love Bellinis.
Let's serve
Bellinis as well, okay?
-Sabrina!
-Yes?
What are they like?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Sabrina, your father
and I have invested
over half a million
dollars in your education.
Communicate.
I haven't met them yet.
I know. I tried,
but it was hard for
Jason to work it out!
Sabrina!
Mrs. Taylor is
a very busy woman.
-Sabrina.
-Mom,
everybody's
gonna love each other
because Jason and I
love each other.
How can you say you love him
when you don't know them?
They could be awful
-or...
-Or great.
Come on.
You worry too much!
No, you don't worry enough.
Well, it's all
under control. Right, Amy?
Okay, Miss O'Neal. Next!
So, when are you leaving?
You know all those people
over at the Vineyard,
they are so loaded,
even their servants are rich.
I can't believe
little Jason is getting
married this weekend,
and I'm not gonna be there.
Well, of course
you're not gonna be there.
You wearing a ankle bracelet
and it's not for fashion.
Next!
What's the girl like?
Miss O'Neal, go on, now.
I gotta go to work. Next!
Come on up here, baby.
Hurry up. I ain't got all day.
[cell phone ringing]
What?
One minute, baby.
[man] Come on,
girl, don't...
-Shonda!
-Pam, I'm busy.
You see this long line
we have out here?
Excuse us, excuse us.
What's the problem, Pam?
I have tried to be
nice to this girl,
but you know by now
she should've come over here
to Brooklyn to meet me.
You will not believe it.
She sent me a text message.
A text message!
Talking 'bout she want
me to bring some
baby pictures of Jason
so she can put 'em in
the wedding program.
She treating me
like I'm her secretary,
not the mother-in-law to be!
She got Jason's nose all open,
talking about she gonna
take him to China.
China! My Jason don't like
nothing sweet and sour.
This girl need to have
a little more respect
for me!
Why are your
panties all in a wad?
Didn't you tell me
that Jason hadn't
met her family, either?
Heifer, whose side you on?
All this stuff going on,
her text messaging me
when she can
pick up a telephone
and call me like
I'm a human being. Mmm-mmm!
I don't play this.
Strike one.
Don't forget about your
anger management classes, Pam.
Calm down.
-Uh...
-Huh!
Honey, you gonna have
to go get back in line.
I'm going to lunch.
[woman] What?
Our guests arrive tomorrow,
so we will need to
prepare every room.
All the linens
need to be changed.
The floors need to sparkle.
-And sparkle they will,
Mrs. Watson.
-Each of the guest rooms
-needs to get
a bouquet of summer flowers.
-Yes, Mrs. Watson.
And we have to
assemble the gift boxes
-for all of our
out-of-town guests.
-[phone ringing]
Yes, Mrs. Watson.
Where in hell are you?
Meeting ran long.
I'm on my way
to the airport now.
Did you forget
that we have 50 people
arriving here tomorrow
for our daughter's wedding?
[stammering]
Your sarcasm is unattractive.
Gregory, I cannot tolerate
one of your disappearing acts.
I am not doing this alone.
Yeah. Calm down.
You're not alone.
Like I said,
I'm on my way to the airport.
[hangs up]
Where were we?
All right. Where were we?
Yeah.
Dissolution of property.
Gregg, I can't
keep up this charade.
I've known Claudine
for a long time,
and I do owe her
a modicum of respect.
You have to tell her,
or I will.
♪ If I gave you my love
♪ I tell you what I'd do
♪ I'd expect a whole
lot of love out of you
♪ You gotta be good to me
[laughs]
♪ I'm gonna be good to you
[gasps]
♪ There's a whole lot of
things you and I could do
♪ Yeah, yeah ♪
[screams] Jason!
-Wifey-to-be,
wifey-to-be. Mmm!
-What are you doing?
God, the stairs weren't
good enough for you, huh?
I'm old school, babe.
I got the horse
double-parked downstairs.
Ain't that how they
do it in the movies?
-What's wrong, babe?
-I'm just really nervous
about meeting your mom.
I need to know
more about her.
-Like what?
-I don't know, just,
you know, details.
Details are
what make a person.
Like what's her taste in art?
Is she more MoMA or Met?
-Does she eat
sushi or soul food?
-Baby...
Does she wanna
play Mahalia Jackson
or Michael Jackson?
-Breathe.
-[exhales]
Okay.
Let's see, my mom.
She's a very sweet...
Yeah?
...gentle,
soft-spoken woman.
-Really?
-Just like you.
-Aw...
-Come here.
-Mmm.
-Mmm.
Oh, God.
I know, I know.
Wait. Oh, my gosh.
Sorry, Jason, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I just...
I know.
I can't do that.
The promise you made
with God, right?
Yes, and you should
respect it.
I respect it, babe,
but it ain't easy.
I mean, look at you.
I mean, come on.
-Can we just
keep that open?
-No, we can't. We can talk.
-Talk?
-Yes.
French.
[both speaking French]
I don't know what to say.
Just say anything.
[speaking French]
I don't know
what you just said,
but it sounded so good.
Did it?
[Claudine] Sabrina!
Reverend James is here!
See? You hear that?
That's God
talking through my mom.
[both sigh]
Oh... Oh, my God.
You couldn't control it?
I'm okay with
this waiting thing,
but he is pissed at my
choice in women right now.
Say you're sorry.
Say you're sorry.
I'm sorry. Kind of.
-It's not working.
-Not really.
-French?
-Get outta here.
-[Claudine] Sabrina!
-I'm coming, Mom!
Maybe we could get
to the last detail
of this wedding, the reading.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I was thinking Jude,
Chapter three.
"The quality of
mercy is not strained.
"It falls like a gentle
rain from the heavens."
That's Shakespeare.
That's not Jude three?
There is no Jude three.
-There's no Jude three?
-No.
I was thinking Corinthians 13.
"Love is patient,
love is kind."
How about John 15?
That's my mother's favorite.
Well, it's our wedding, so...
Well, babe, it would
really make my mother happy,
come on.
Yeah. And when
she gets married again,
they can read it
for her, okay?
Wait a minute, wait a minute,
hold up a minute.
Maybe we should just
look at Genesis 2:24.
It says,
"For this cause shall a man
"leave his
mother and his father
"and take unto him a wife
"and then they shall cleave
and become one flesh."
Mmm.
Now, that...
That feels good.
That is a good one.
That's a good one.
Could we possibly get back
to you on this one, Rev?
Certainly, certainly.
Let's talk about it.
Sabrina, dear,
I understand that
you love each other
and that you're maybe even
meant to be together.
But I should warn you
that sometimes life
will really test you.
Well, we'll pass.
I mean, Reverend James,
Jason was sent to me.
-He's my soul mate.
-Mmm-hmm.
Oh, that's so sweet.
But even a soul mate
can really test you.
[Sabrina] You've known me
since I was just a wee
little thing, and now...
-Pigtails and braces.
-Yes!
-Look at you now. So wonderful.
-That's right.
Can you believe it?
I tell you what,
I'm gonna have to
leave you lovebirds
and get on back to the church
so we can have
this marvelous
wedding of yours.
Oh, thank you! [laughs]
-Be sweet, dear.
-Thank you so much.
-And take care.
-Thanks.
-We'll talk soon.
-All right, Rev.
-All the best.
See you all. Bye-bye.
-All right, see you tomorrow.
-Take care.
-Bye.
[sighs] Oh!
It's almost noon.
I gotta go pick up
my mom, all right?
No, no, no, no!
You're not going anywhere.
-What do you mean, babe?
-Amy sent a car for her.
-Amy sent a car
for my mom?
-Yes.
Oh, babe, this ain't
gonna be good.
What do you mean?
I'm sure it was a nice car.

Where's Willie Earl?
No, he could be
anywhere.
I see you been
around the world.
You got a few stamps
in your passport.
[scoffs] It's none
of your business.
Just trying to have
a polite conversation.
I'm sure whatever
distant land you come from
that line about stamps
may work as
a natural aphrodisiac.
To me, however,
it's just country.
Ain't nothing wrong
with a little
biscuit and gravy.
Oh, please.
Don't walk away
from your future.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Please get me out of here.
See, that's what
I'm talking about.
[Pam] Be careful with that.
He know what he doing.
Shonda, I am
trying to be nice,
but who are they
trying to impress, huh?
A car? A driver?
Why couldn't
they send somebody
from the family
down here to pick us up?
And where the hell is Jason?
What you looking at?
Girl, what you
think I'm looking at?
It's August in the Vineyard.
I'm looking for
Barack and Michelle.
Oh, God.
[sighs]
Have you seen Sabrina?
Thank you.
No, but, Mrs. Watson,
the calligrapher broke her arm
and she can't
finish the guest cards.
So, I was...
Okay.
And that's not your problem.
That's my problem. Moving on.
The bedrooms are all ready.
Thank you, Mabel.
Have you seen Sabrina?
I'm right here, Mom.
Where's Sebastian?
He missed the ferry,
but he'll be here
for the cocktail party.
-You all are
working my last nerve.
-Relax.
-Hey! Sweetie!
-Hi, Dad.
So good to see you!
All right, they'll
be here any minute.
Go change.
That sounded a little
bit like, "Go fetch."
Ah, ah.
Dad, Mom is right.
You need to make
a good impression
on my future
mother-in-law, okay?
Absolutely, sweetie.
Thanks, Dad.
-[car honks]
-Oh! That's them!
They're here!
Mom, how do I look?
-Do I have
anything in my teeth?
-Sabrina.
What about my nose?
-Sabrina, that is vile.
-[doorbell rings]
Now, remember who you are.
[speaks French]
Hello.
Claudine.
Geneva.
Auntie!
You made it!
Look at you.
You're beautiful.
-[speaks French]
-Ah...
Why didn't you respond
to the wedding invitation?
The mail on the island
is so unpredictable.
Are there no
phones on the island?
-Oh, Claudie.
-Mom.
[both laughing]
Where are you staying?
-In Grand-Mere's
old room, of course.
-[stutters]
-See? Room for me.
-Come on.
I have so much to tell you!
[Geneva] I can't wait
to show you what I bought you.
It's see-through.
-[Sabrina] So, it's really
a gift for Jason.
-And where is he?
I need to see
the man who stole
my little girl's heart.
Auntie, you are
going to love him.
First of all...
Just bring 'em in
here and drop 'em.
Drop 'em right here. Put it...
She sure can pack
for a two-day wedding.
You know,
if you don't mind me asking,
Mrs. Watson, she's like a...
She's like a couple
shades lighter than you.
Is that...
Is that the normal kind...
Fair question.
She's like a mocha.
You're like a...
I don't know,
like a milk chocolate.
Got it.
-Ooh! It's pretty nasty.
What is this, Auntie?
-[laughing]
Now, now, this is not
for your honeymoon night.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, this is for
when you guys fight
or you want
something expensive.
You put this on and you
cook him some dinner.
-[Sabrina] Ah, got it.
-[Geneva] I might not know
anything about marriage,
but I do know
how to help you
guys stay married.
Auntie, I think you
got the perfect one.
-I love it!
It's the best.
-Good!
I love you, cherie.
[Sabrina] I love you so much.
[Malcolm] Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Do everybody out here
got their own boat?
[Willie Earl] I don't wanna
get on no boats around here.
Make you feel
like they're taking
you back to Africa.
This place is amazing.
This is so beautiful.
Look at these houses!
You know, I was
thinking I could
represent Jason's father,
say a few kind words
over dinner about love
and marriage.
Okay, so now
you a pro at marriage?
-Could be.
-[Shonda] All right.
So, how many marriages
have you had, Willie Earl?
-Three.
-Who?
Four, four, four,
four times.
But I married
one of them twice.
And don't forget
about that fiasco
in Mexico last year,
remember that?
No, Willie Earl, she was fine.
I would've went
to Mexico for that.
What a brother
will do for the taco.
And a burrito
and rice and beans.
[Malcolm] You probably
left a baby down there,
Willie Earl.
[Shonda] Come on, Pam.
Come on, Pammy Pam.
So what they
didn't come meet us
at the dock,
and you haven't met the girl?
But we're here now.
Can we please
have a good time?
I don't care what
y'all talking about.
This is nice.
Get picked up
like this every day.
[Willie Earl] They got
their own lake or something?
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Are you serious?
You guys, look at that!
Oh, my God!
-[Malcolm] This is nice.
-[Shonda] You guys, it's like
the Kennedy Compound!
[Malcolm] That's gotta be
an apartment complex.
They got workers
and everything.
-[Shonda] Look at 'em.
They got white people working.
-Ooh!
I bet they got,
like, five bathrooms.
Doing good for theyself.
Come on, y'all.
Calm down.
-We done seen
houses bigger than this.
-[Shonda scoffs]
-Where?
-No, we haven't!
[Malcolm] Black folks
own this? No.
[Malcolm] They're dressing
'em different now.
You look rich.
[Shonda] Well, does money
make you more beautiful?
[Willie Earl] If you fat
and unattractive,
money certainly will help.
-Willie Earl.
-Hey, whassup, Jay?
How you doing, man?
Good to see you.
My love to you, boy.
Long time no see.
Welcome to the Vineyard, Mom.
You sent a car
to get your mother?
Only the best for you.
Well, the best would've been
for you to pick me up.
I love you, too, Mom.
Mom, this is Sabrina.
Hello.
Hi! Mrs. Taylor!
It is so nice to
finally meet you!
[Jason] Isn't she great, Mom?
I'm sorry. I just...
I didn't think a handshake
expressed the moment,
you know?
No.
I'm a hugger. I like to hug.
I can see that.
Sorry.
I'm Claudine Watson.
Oh. Pam Taylor.
Well, may I say
that you've certainly
raised a wonderful man.
Thank you.
He is wonderful.
I wish I could say
the same about you
and your daughter.
Oh!
I said that the wrong way.
I mean, I wish I had
met her earlier,
before now,
and then I could say...
This is my family.
Shonda. She is
my mom's best friend.
-How you doing?
-Hello.
[Jason] Uncle Willie Earl.
Rich and fine.
Fine as a glass of wine.
And my cousin, Malcolm.
I invited the two
of them to stay here.
I hope that's okay.
Mom.
Oh, yes, yes.
I mean, we certainly
have enough room.
Why don't we go
into the house,
make you more comfortable.
[Sabrina] You guys have
to be so thirsty, huh?
We have Bellinis.
I hope you like Bellinis.
-Bellinis.
What the hell is that?
-Yes, yes.
[Jason] It is so good.
[Pam] I put some
Coca-Cola in and I...
Come on in, everyone.
Thank you.
Bellini for you, Mom.
-No, no, no, no.
-No? You sure?
Everyone, come on
into the living room.
William Earl, Michael?
-Malcolm.
-Oh, Malcolm.
Pardon me, Malcolm.
Please, have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
-Welcome, welcome.
-Is this...
[exhales]
I made Jason
a sweet potato pie.
It's his favorite.
Oh, well, what a lovely gift.
Yeah, no,
she's famous all over
Brooklyn for her pies.
Really? We'll have
to serve it tonight
at the rehearsal dinner.
Oh, no, no, no. This is
for Jason and his friends.
It's just that my
buddies always fight
over her pies.
She's a really,
really good cook.
Oh, well, Mrs. Taylor,
you really need to share
your recipes with me, huh?
Hear a way to a man's heart
is through his stomach.
It's a family secret.
Oh, well...
It's a good thing
we're all gonna be family
after tomorrow, huh?
Where can I put this?
You can shove it...
In the kitchen.
Thank you, Mabel.
Hello! Hello.
-Ah, Dad!
-Gregg Watson.
You must be Jason's sister.
[laughs]
No. I'm his mother.
-[speaks French]
-[exclaims]
Jason, why have you
kept this jewel hidden
from us?
-[Jason] My apologies.
-Oh, thank you.
We are so sorry
you couldn't make it
to lunch with us last month.
You all went to
lunch together?
-Where?
-Oh. 21.
-21.
-[Claudine] It was phenomenal.
Well, Jason told us
that you were busy.
Busy?
It was really
last-minute, Mom.
Oh.
Well, Mrs. Taylor,
allow me to show you
and Shondra to
your living quarters.
This way, please.
It's Shonda.
21? Strike two.
Oh, here we go.
"It's a family secret"?
What was that?
If I can't have your cookies,
you can't have my pies.
Hello! Maid of honor
in the house!
Blythe! Oh, my goodness!
Look at you, you look so good.
You are just in time
to counsel the bride
with a mother-in-law
situation.
Well, as long as
you pay me in Moet.
-Done. Come on.
-Let's do it.
Excuse me.
How you doing?
I'm Malcolm. And you are?
-Blythe.
-Blythe, Blythe, Blythe.
So, I hear you
the maid of honor.
Well, I'm the best man,
so there's gotta be
some kind of ritual
we can do
to get to know
each other better.
There is. There is.
It's called stop touching me.
-Okay.
-Oh, Bellini, lovely.
[Amy] Bellini?
Now, that's that
boomerang game, brother.
-She gonna come back.
-Okay.
No, I mean,
I feel so fresh.
You didn't use
that thing, did you?
You know I did.
And you know
what I realize?
That rich people are not happy
because of the money.
They're happy
because of the bidets.
The bidets make
you wanna go out
and make more money
-so you could buy
some more bidets.
-Listen,
they have those bidets
because they're full of it.
What, you brought a broom?
Oh, honey, this isn't
just any broom.
This is the broom
that Mike and I jumped
when we got married.
You know, I don't know
why I feel like
a bald-headed stepchild
at my own son's wedding.
And all that talk
about they didn't have time
for her to come
across the bridge
and meet me is just a lie.
Then they gonna go
to 21 without me.
Yeah, Jason,
he should've told you.
There's no reason
why they should've had
that party without you or me.
It wasn't Jason.
He'd never do that to me.
It was that little ugly girl
in that teeny tiny dress.
-[exclaims] Oh, my God!
-What is it?
Rich folks got good
taste in property,
but bad taste in snacks.
[Sabrina] Knock, knock!
[shudders]
-Hi.
-Hi.
I hope everything's
okay with the room.
Mmm.
So, I just...
I wanted to make
sure we're all set
for the fitting
tomorrow morning.
-Fitting?
-Yeah, Jason,
didn't tell you?
-Uh-uh.
-[sighs] He's such a man.
I bought you two
dresses to choose from.
-For?
-The wedding.
[laughs] Honey, no.
I dress myself. Thank you.
I know, but, you see,
I wanted everyone
to wear the same
shade of buff tomorrow,
for the optics.
Optics?
The photographs.
You mean pictures?
Well, then just say pictures.
Say pictures.
-Pictures.
-Well, if you had
mentioned a dress
in that lovely text message
you sent yesterday,
then I would not have gone out
and bought this one.
I mean, this got buff.
Buff, that's white, right?
White is buff?
-See? Lot of white in this.
-Yeah, kind of, but...
It's just...
Would you mind
wearing one of the dresses?
I'll have my
father reimburse you.
You don't mind, do you?
It's just, it's my wedding,
and I was hoping that...
Okay, okay,
I'll wear your dress.
Really?
[exclaims] Thank you!
I was...
Sorry. Just...
Okay. Well, um...
I hope you enjoy the box.
My mom made it special.
-I'll see you at
the rehearsal dinner.
-Mmm.
And I really think
you're gonna love
either one of the dresses.
Buff usually looks
good on everyone.
Just as a general
rule of thumb, so...
Okay.
Girl, I'm really
proud of you.
I mean, really,
that anger management class
must've really paid off.
That is strike three.
Who shows up with
extra weekend guests?
It's just so...
Ghetto?
I was gonna say simple.
Mere Claudine would
have put them back
on the ferry
faster than they could
say "sweet potato pie."
She nearly banned
Gregory's parents
from our wedding.
They never acted up again.
I wish I could say
the same for their son.
There's nothing
wrong with Gregory.
He invited his mistress
to the wedding.
You don't know
that to be true.
Mabel, I'm not a fool.
The signs have been
there for a while.
Well, that Mrs. Taylor
may be backwards,
but she sure can make a pie.
Mrs. Watson?
Oh, there you are.
Hey. Hi, Mabel.
-Oh, Lord.
-So, I told Chef
about our extra guests,
and he said,
"There's no more chicken."
So, I suggested
he serve salmon.
Well, he said
they seem like
chicken people to him.
And I thought that sounded
a little bit offensive,
but given the history
of our country,
I didn't think I was the one
who should point that out.
I really need him on my side
to pull this whole thing off.
So, anyway, bottom line,
he refuses to make
any new chicken
because he's already seasoned
the RSVP'd chicken,
so, you know, help.
Thanks.
Hoods are good for
a roll in the hay,
but you don't marry them.
I do agree with you,
but Jason has
become a bootstrapper.
Hoods, bootstrappers,
same thing.
-I know, right?
-[both laughing]
Then the ushers take
the mother of the bride
and mother of the groom
to their seats
on opposite
sides of the aisle.
Dude, they're
looking at me, ain't they?
Yeah, they're looking.
I ain't marrying nothing.
Talkin' about
some China. Right.
I bet you good money
that girl pregnant.
That's the only reason
Jason would be
getting married
this quick, bro.
No, I don't
believe she's pregnant.
And I don't think
Jason would appreciate you
spreading that rumor.
I ain't spreading a rumor,
I'm talking to you.
Okay, well,
maybe you should
be talking to Jason.
What is that,
that's your role here,
the rumor police?
No, I am a colleague.
Goldman Sachs,
maybe you heard of it?
No.
[Amy] And the best man
takes his place right here.
Ricky, please.
-Wait, wait.
-Right this way.
-You the best man?
-Yeah.
Ricky, if I could
get you up here.
Hey, your cousin's
hilarious.
What's he up to now?
I don't know, he seems
really interested in, um,
you and Sabrina's
love life.
Well, that makes two of us.
But in 23 more hours,
guess what?
-I will be good to go.
-Okay.
How long have
they been dating,
like, six months, right?
I guess they think
it's romantic.
Well, I don't know.
He might be getting
it from somewhere else
'cause the only guy
I know wait six months
to have sex
is either on
the low-down
or the down-low.
Hmm. True.
I want you to be
honest with me.
I'm gonna ask you something.
I wanna know right now.
-God, here we go.
-'Cause I know you,
all right?
How are you doing this?
Let's see.
Lot of baby oil,
medicated Vaseline.
-They have this new stuff...
-Okay, pause.
You asked.
Let's just say I've been
handling the situation.
Yeah, apparently,
for six months.
Yeah, six months.
And guess what?
For Sabrina,
I'd go another six months.
Just don't tell her
I said that,
'cause I don't wanna
give her any ideas.
I mean, seriously,
like, what kind of man
waits that long to have sex?
-The kind of man
I'm about to marry tomorrow.
-Oh!
And stop talking about me
and worry about
your own sad situation.
Where'd this come from?
The married one,
or the investment
banker or the footballer?
-I can't keep up
with you, Blythe.
-All of them.
Well, excuse me, Miss
"I-made-a-deal-with-God."
Just remember
that I knew you when.
Yes, and you are going
to be quiet about that.
I am not talking
about that this weekend.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-You do you
and I'll do me.
-Fine.
On that note, I'm gonna go
get another glass of
champagne. This one.
-Blythe!
-Darling, your secrets
are safe with me.
I don't understand
this obsession with chicken.
[Chef] Come on, people,
put some pep in your step.
Let's go, people.
They're getting
hungry outside.
And if these
are not going out,
put 'em on ice, please.
Getting hot out there.
Pardon me.
-Excuse me.
-Excuse me.
-Excuse me.
-Watch the stove. It's hot.
Uh, Blythe.
Chef.
Excuse me.
We need to talk.
Could you pick a worse time?
You've always been great
at recognizing a moment.
Our guests are
about to arrive.
Sarcasm is something
your family always used
to keep from actually
talking to each other.
I'm getting
pretty tired of it.
You shouldn't be out here
cleaning in this hot sun.
Don't you worry, Miss.
I'm okay.
Is sunscreen
something you would use?
-No.
-No.
So, is that
Jason's crew?
Hmm.
Slim pickings, right?
Ricky's kind of cute,
but what's up
with the pressed
khakis and Top-Siders?
Analysis.
He bought those clothes
to impress and look the part,
hoping that he would
rub elbows and maybe
come up like Jason.
[gasps] Don't talk
about my boo like that.
You know, if you'd stop dating
from that crazy list of yours,
you might actually
find a decent man.
I don't have a list.
You don't have a list?
[Blythe] I don't!
Okay, let's see.
Ivy League,
not by scholarship.
Seven-figure salary.
Black Card,
seasoned at least one year.
Laughs at all your jokes
and loves your mama.
Hmm? Need I say more?
But what are you guys saying,
that I should
lower my standards?
-Yeah.
-Yes!
-What?
-Because it's based
in fantasy.
You gotta look
through different eyes.
Open your mind to
other possibilities.
Ladies, hey.
Sorry for
ear-hustling over there,
but I agree with her.
You should open your eyes
to different possibilities.
See? No Ivy League. Uh-uh.
Seven figures? Not at all.
Close to five some
years when I'm working.
But I get you, Blythe.
We should hook up.
You and me.
I'm a hermaphrodite.
I don't care
what your religion is.
-It's more about us.
-Wow!
[Malcolm] It's nature.
Listen, baby,
this is the perfect weekend,
right? There's...
-[Chef] Ladies?
-[Sabrina] Thank you.
Caviar is very fresh.
You should try it.
Blythe, right?
Yeah.
I have something
I want you to try.
Why don't you come with me?
Oh. Okay.
Excuse me.
What, what...
What just happened?
Thanks for rescuing me.
My pleasure.
Thank you, sir.
I'm sorry.
I'm Sebastian.
Oh. I'm Shonda.
So, I'm guessing
you're a friend of the groom?
Um...
I'm his mama's
best friend.
I'm the bride's cousin.
How old are you?
I'll be a senior
next year at Yale.
[laughs] Cheers.
Okay, take care.
Try this.
[scoffs]
No.
-You feel that tingle
of champagne on your lips?
-Mmm-hmm.
And the smooth
and gentle texture
of the body
between your teeth?
Mmm-hmm.
And, finally,
the explosive finish
on your tongue?
Mmm-hmm.
[exhales]
You know,
the shrimp are cold.
They're supposed
to be that way, Mom.
I'm not having any
of this food. I'm hungry.
Who in our family
eats oysters?
And when did you
start eating oysters?
God, I mean,
you love my cooking.
Why didn't you just
run the menu by me?
Because all I did was
write the check, Mom.
These folk have all
the money in the world
and they got you
paying for this?
Mom, look at this.
No, you look at this.
Now, this is not you.
I know you.
You love greens.
You will not eat
a meal without greens...
-Mom? Mom.
-...and I don't see
a green anywhere.
I'll have the chef make us
our own pot of greens.
With neck bones.
Oh, that stanky chef
don't know nothing...
-Turkey neck bones,
just like you make 'em.
-...about no neck bones.
Well. Yes, okay.
Now, this pool is nothing.
I have a friend who's
got a big, big pool.
-It goes way up...
-Oh, Mom, come on.
It's true.
[all chattering]
[tapping fork on glass]
Hey, everybody,
if I could just get
your attention for a second.
I wanted to take a moment
to welcome you all to our home
and to thank you
for sharing this
special occasion with us.
Good friends and family,
we appreciate how hard
it was to come here
without much notice.
-For that,
you can thank Sabrina.
-[all chuckling]
-Oh, yes.
-[Gregory] Baby girl,
she is impulsive
and spontaneous.
She's got a good mind
and a huge heart.
And I love her.
Thank you, Dad.
And now Jason's uncle,
Willie Earl, will be
giving the blessing.
[Jason] Willie Earl.
Willie Earl.
-Uh-uh.
-What's happening, Pam?
[Sabrina] Okay.
[Pam] Heavenly Father,
dear Lord, thank you
for these gifts.
And thank you
for being merciful,
even to those who do not
appreciate your generosity.
Dear Lord,
they're sitting in
their expensive cars,
Lord, and they wear
their fancy clothes,
and they think
that they alone
are responsible
for everything they have.
-But, Lord, we know
the truth, don't we?
-This is not a blessing.
-Hey, baby, just breathe.
-We know that the meek...
[laughs]
The meek shall
inherit the Earth.
Thank you, Jesus.
Hallelujah! Amen!
Bon appetit.
What was that?
What was that?
Just breathe.
Your mother said
that I could
give the blessing.
Well, if that was a blessing,
you going to hell.
That was
completely inappropriate.
I'm inappropriate?
Where are my people?
Where is my family?
Well, aren't we all
gonna be family
after tomorrow?
That's right.
After tomorrow, it's on.
We're already all
one big family, right?
-Baby, let it go.
-Yes, and this food is
really hitting the spot.
I'll have to
work it off tomorrow
with the Electric Slide.
Let's have fun.
To the left, to the left,
to the right, to the right.
Actually, Jason
and I told the DJ
not to encourage
the slide, you know,
so I don't want you
to look forward to that.
Y'all don't do
the Electric Slide?
What y'all do,
the Riverdance or something?
No, Willie Earl. It's
just so cliche, you know.
They do it at the end
of every black wedding,
and we just...
Well, it figures
that your kind
would think that way.
-Mom.
-Here we go.
"Your kind?"
I'm sorry,
I didn't realize that
the Electric Slide was
a cultural necessity.
Well, the Electric Slide
at a black wedding
is just like
jumping the broom.
-Yeah, right.
-You're gonna
jump the broom?
No.
-What?
-Namaste.
Remember anger management,
okay? Just calm down.
Jason, enough is enough.
You've got to jump the broom.
-Mom, we just...
-Mrs. Taylor,
Jason and I decided
we wanted everything
to be simple, elegant.
Ow!
Modern.
Would a Jewish couple
get married without
breaking the glass?
We're not Jewish.
I didn't say
you were Jewish.
The slaves were
not allowed to marry.
Jumping the broom
was the only way
that they could
show their union.
Now, we have done that
in this family for years.
It is a tradition.
It's gone on for generations.
And, as you say,
it is a cultural necessity.
Look, Harriet Tubman,
Kunta Kinte ain't
sitting at the table,
and, you know,
this ain't a black history
moment, Pam.
Well, why should they
have to jump over a broom?
My family weren't slaves.
Are you so sure of that?
Yes. As a matter of fact,
they owned slaves.
-Ooh!
-What?
-Mom, don't say that.
-[all murmuring]
And you're proud of that?
No, no, I'm neither
proud nor ashamed.
It's just an immutable fact.
You know something,
you're crazier than
I thought you were.
Here's another fact, honey.
You need to get
off your high horse
and come on
back down to Earth,
'cause, baby, you black.
-That's right.
-Okay? You're black.
-Oh! You black.
-No, you don't come
into my house
and tell me what
I'm supposed to do.
[both speaking French]
No, they're not trying
to voulez-vous
coucher avec moi ce soir us.
I don't care what
they saying in French.
I know she talking about me.
Hey, come on, Pam.
Mrs. Taylor,
it's just that... Ow!
Did you just kick me
under the table twice?
Not in a row, baby.
Just relax.
Listen, everybody, calm down.
Calm down, calm down,
all right?
Now, listen,
if it is important
to Jason's family
to jump the broom,
would it be so difficult
to actually consider
jumping the broom?
-There.
-Thank you.
[both speaking French]
She said she gonna
hit you in the head
with a computer, I heard that.
[Geneva greets in French]
Good evening, good evening,
good evening. Ooh!
You look awesome this evening.
Oh, my baby, hi!
Can I... Yes.
Like we rehearsed.
[clears throat]
That's a short dress.
I'd like to sing a song
for Sabrina
and Jason's big day.
[exhales]
I heard it's been a long,
long six months. [laughs]
I don't know
how you two do it.
Wow. I know I couldn't do it.
[clears throat]
♪ Get up, get up,
get up, get up
♪ Wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up
This is gonna
be interesting.
♪ Oh, baby,
let's get down tonight
♪ Ooh, baby

[all cheering]
I got her sexual
healing right here.
Hell, she gonna be the next
ex-Miss Willie Taylor.
[exclaiming]
I thought you would
at least look after me
once I got here.
How could you let those people
treat me like that?
Mom, there is blame
to be had on both sides.
Now, will you please
just give these people
a break?
-Give these people a break?
-Yes.
-Her family had slaves
and she's proud of it?
-That's not what she said.
Oh, now there's something
wrong with my hearing.
I know what she said.
And you know what,
you're gonna end up
being her slave for life.
[laughs]
So, now I'm a slave?
Boy, don't you get
dramatic with me.
Mom, I have a bachelor party
to go to, all right?
Go.
Hey, Willie Earl.
You on one tonight,
ain't you, sis?
That was wrong.
And what'd you
say that speech for?
It's "why did you
give that speech."
You're out here with
all these bougie folk.
You better not be
using that Ebonics.
No, I'm serious, Pam.
That was wrong
and it was foul
for going in there
and starting that fight
at their dinner
table like that.
If Jason don't
wanna jump the broom,
he don't have to
jump the broom.
Willie Earl, the only reason
I brought you up
here was to support me.
I told my brother
I was gonna
help raise his son.
I'm here to support Jason.
Well, it really
ain't your business.
It isn't none of my business.
Remember that? Bougie?
Let me tell you
something, Pam.
If you keep
fighting progress,
you gonna find yourself
on the wrong side of history.
-Whatever.
-And that's real talk.
Yeah, it's gonna
be whatever.
God don't like ugly, Pam.
He ain't too fond of cute.
I just think the best
gift you can give anyone
on their wedding
day is the truth.
-Have you completely
lost your mind?
-What?
You think of
no one but yourself.
And who are you thinking
about, Claudine, huh?
Are you thinking
about Sabrina?
Are you thinking
about what people will say
behind closed doors?
No, I could care less
what people think of me.
Oh, please!
I am always
thinking of Sabrina.
That's clear.
I was thinking of Sabrina
when she went to kindergarten
and when she went to college.
I could write you a whole list
if you need me to, Geneva.
You want me to
throw you a parade, huh?
Petition you for sainthood?
You didn't do me any favors.
You did Mother a favor.
I didn't give you Sabrina.
Mother took her from me!
Well, what would you have done
with her, Geneva?
Pack her in a suitcase
every time you felt
like flying off
to a new adventure?
What, get pregnant again?
Well, at least
I could get pregnant.
[exclaims]
If you come
anywhere near my daughter
this weekend with any
of your foolishness,
you will regret it
for the rest of your life.
Yes, Malcolm, it was
nice to meet you, too.
Hold it, hold on.
Okay, don't be too hasty.
I usually don't talk
to dark-skinned girls,
but I'm making
an exception for you.
So, how about we...
You don't like handcuffs?
[Sabrina] That is not
the same thing, Jason.
-Rude, ghetto, same thing.
-No, it's not.
Look, look,
at the end of the day,
I honestly don't care
if we jump the broom
or not, Sabrina.
You don't care
and I don't want to,
so why do it?
-Because it would
make her happy.
-[exhales]
Look, this woman sacrificed
everything for me.
And, quite frankly,
if it wasn't for my mother,
I wouldn't be
the man you wanna marry.
If it wasn't
for your mother,
I wouldn't be
questioning if you're
the man I wanna marry.
So, you're
questioning marrying me now
because of my mother?
She's disrespecting my family
and she's treating
you like a child.
You're letting her talk
to me any kind of way.
A husband is supposed
to defend his wife, remember?
Leave to cleave?
-Look, Sabrina, she's
always gonna be my mother.
-I know.
But you are not my wife yet.
You're right. I'm not.
Which makes it so much easier
to walk away from you, Jason.
Look, I didn't...
What are you saying?
I'm saying
you're a mama's boy.
Does she know you're
out right now, huh?
Do you need to text her?
Do you need to check in?
Do you have a curfew?
Are you allowed to be
out past 12:00?
This is ridiculous.
Whoo. I need a drink.
And not one that's
thrown on me, either.
It's a $200 jacket, man.
Can I holler
at you for a minute?
Do I have a choice, Malcolm?
Look, I've known
you your entire life,
all right?
You messing up.
Your mama mad at you.
From the look of things,
your girl pretty mad at you.
You rushing in,
marrying this girl.
You don't know her.
I get it, she's rich,
her family's rich.
It's the come-up.
But do you wanna be
one of those guys?
What kind of guys
are you talking about?
One of them guys.
The kind of guy
that'll do any and everything
to get where they wanna be.
It's all falling apart
right before your eyes.
You know why?
You going about it
for the wrong reasons.
[laughs]
That's what this is
all about, isn't it?
What?
You're just mad because
Ricky and not you is
my best man, right?
-Nope.
-Tell the truth.
You know what?
Yeah, I'm upset. I am.
I'm your cousin and
I'm your best friend,
but I ain't good enough
to be your best man, huh?
That's what you
basically telling me.
You'd be the best man
at my wedding. Whassup?
Okay. You wanna talk,
let's talk.
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's talk.
You are my cousin,
but the whole
best friend thing?
Come on, Malcolm.
Who are you fooling?
We haven't been best friends
for, what, two, three years?
Right around
the time I bought my house.
I have a housewarming,
you don't show up.
I got promoted
to vice president.
The entire block shows up.
Eddie, Casual Mike,
even Dave comes.
Did you come? No.
Because you don't like
hanging around white people?
Hey, man.
Whenever I'm
around white people,
-you know I get arrested.
-This isn't funny, Malcolm.
The only time you don't
have something negative
to say about my success
is when you're on the phone
asking me for money.
Exactly.
So, the answer to this
big question you have
in your head, no.
Money did not change me.
It changed you.
Thanks for the advice,
but, frankly, I don't need it.
You're welcome.
The hell money changed me.
I ain't got none.
Explain that.
[playing slowly]
I've been looking
all over for you.
Here I am.
Thought you said
you were coming to bed.
Things change. Don't they?
Yeah.
Yeah, they do.
-Claudine?
-Mmm.
You don't have to say it.
The late nights,
the incessant phone calls.
The way you looked
at that tramp of yours
all night long.
You think I'm
having an affair?
Please. Let's not do this.
I'm not having an affair,
Claudine.
We're broke.
Broke?
Yes, broke.
This is not
the moment for a joke.
Claude, I am not joking.
Oh, my God, Gregg.
How is that even possible?
With the credit freeze,
we didn't have
enough cash up-front,
so we had to sell off
assets at a loss.
It's complicated.
Basically, I think we were
a little too aggressive.
We?
We were too aggressive?
All right,
I was too aggressive.
You didn't seem to
complain all those years
you lived off my
aggressive investments.
Do not confuse your love
for the finer things
in life with my values.
Unlike you,
I could afford them.
Unlike you, I worked for them!
What exactly is broke?
Most of our retirement fund's
been wiped out.
We can barely
afford this wedding,
let alone
the kids' honeymoon.
All we have left
is this house.
Honestly, Gregory,
an affair might have
been easier to swallow.
And just so I'm clear,
are you saying
that all my family's
money is gone?
That's what I'm saying.
Well, if the sofa
hasn't been repossessed,
please find
yourself on it tonight.
[snorts]
No, absolutely not.
I am not doing this again.
Claude, I'm not
playing this game with you.
I'm gonna have some
leftover vichyssoise
and I am gonna
pour myself a Scotch.
Then I'm gonna go
up to our bedroom,
get into our bed,
go to sleep, and snore.
Whether you're there or not.
Hey, girl!
This water feels
so good. Whoo!
I haven't been
swimming in so long.
Mmm.
[shrieks]
You crazy.
Get out of that water, girl.
You know,
I knew something wasn't right
about this family.
All the money
and the big houses
and them weird accents.
Yeah, but you know what, Pam?
That ain't got
nothing to do with it
'cause, you know,
you didn't wanna
like 'em from the get.
Honey, that's because
I can tell a fake a mile away.
And I'll tell you this.
Now that I know
what's going on,
-I don't want Jason
mixed up in this mess.
-Okay.
Talking about
sending him to China.
Do they even let
black folk in China?
You know what, Pam,
I've known Jason
his whole life,
and the boy has
never been happier,
so leave him alone!
That's exactly my point.
He can stay in the US
of A and stay happy.
Uh-uh. No. I'll break this
wedding up if I have to,
-I tell you that.
-You know what,
just stop that.
What?
Just 'cause you got
that young boy rubbing
on your old ashy legs,
you ain't gotta act out.
Yeah, well, that's
one way to go.
And if you had somebody
rubbing up your
little ashy leg,
maybe you would stop
getting into
everybody else's business
because you'd have
some of your own.
I tell you this,
you about two days
from being a pedophile.
[both laugh]
-He is young, ain't he?
But he fine.
-Girl.
-Let's brush you.
-How old is
that boy anyway?
-Twenty.
-Cougar, cougar,
cougar, cougar.
You so crazy.
-Ooh, girl, you ought to be
ashamed of yourself.
-Hush up.
Don't be mad
'cause you keep trying
to get your man
So, this is what happens
at a bachelor party?
No, this is what
happens at a funeral.
At a bachelor party,
there's a lot of alcohol,
and we drunk by now,
with some lady
named Cinnamon Bun
dancing on our lap,
like strippers,
like they're bouncing.
Yeah, that's what happens
at a traditional
bachelor party.
I don't know
what happened here.
Ready?
So, you're not
angry anymore?
I wanna go
and they don't.
I'm not really
ready to leave either.
But I wanna go home.
We have a big day tomorrow.
Babe, I'm in the middle
of a conversation right now.
For you to ask me to
just walk out on it,
it's kind of rude.
-Rude?
-I didn't say ghetto.
Hey, hey, hey, guys.
It's not that serious.
Jay, we can just call it, man.
I can't believe
you're doing this
in front of everybody.
Look, babe, I called my mom,
and she said I can
stay out as late
as I want tonight,
so, don't be a brat.
A brat?
Fine. Have fun
with your friends.
Hey! "Brat"? Come on,
man, you from Brooklyn.
"Brat" is the only B word
you could think of right now?
Jay, you don't wanna do this.
You know you're gonna
get in some trouble.
Shut up.
Look at your shirt.
Look, you did
the right thing, Jay.
You're supposed to
put your foot down
when women act like that.
Put 'em in their place, man.
And you are giving
the wrong idea to this
young buck right here.
Whoa, whoa. Malcolm.
What do you know
about a woman?
-Whoo.
-Now, let's be real.
You know, I don't understand
why y'all are
chasing these young girls.
You know, me, myself,
I prefer a more
seasoned woman.
Someone with
a little experience, mature.
You know, you gotta
grow up and leave
the childish games behind you.
Yeah, you're 12,
so I don't wanna hear
nothing you got to say.
Okay, first of all,
neither one of
you guys understand.
All right, this man's
about to get married.
"You don't...
Neither one of you guys..."
Jason, forget all this.
You need to go get Sabrina
and squash all this.
I'm serious.
Jason, don't listen to nobody
that say words like "squash,"
all right?
"Squash all this."
We don't talk like that.
We from the hood, man.
You don't even know Sabrina.
I know Sabrina.
And I know Jason.
Jason, go get your girl, man.
Jason, get your manhood.
-Another round.
-[whoops]
And that's how you do it.
Yes! This is turning
into a bachelor party.
Now you gonna have some fun.
Ladies, please! Ladies!
Not... Not you.
I'd hate to be you in a hour.
Sebastian, I got this
all under control.
Sabrina!
Sabri...
[softly] Sabrina!
God, you taste good.
So do you.
-You wanna taste
something good?
-Mmm-hmm.
It's sweet,
but there's a little
spice in it as well.
Sort of like you.
-Mmm.
-It's good, right?
Mmm-hmm.
Burning.
-Burning.
-Mmm-hmm.
Burning, yeah.
-No, no, no,
it's burning, it's burning.
-Oh!
[smoke detector blaring]
My sauce.
-Oh, my God!
-[both gasp]
What the...
Is everybody okay?
I was just making some sauce.
My helper.
Listen, everything's
under control.
The alarm should
go off in a minute.
This in no way impedes
my ability to do my job.
I want you to know that.
So, as you were.
Babe.
Sabrina. Sabrina.
I mean,
I know you ain't got
your private parts out
around all this
good food, do you?
And second of all,
do you have any
kind of relationship
with some Vaseline
lotion or anything?
Your knees look
like you been praying
in some chicken flour.
Sabrina, please,
just let me... Whoa!
Sabrina, let me in.
Come on, open up, Sabrina.
I just wanna talk to you.
Okay, fine, I'll wait
all night, if I have to.
I love you, too.
Jason? Are we
getting married too fast?
You're not having
second thoughts,
are you, babe?
No, I'm just... I'm asking.
Did we rush into this
because of China?
Baby, open the door.
I wanna look at you.
I can't. You're not
supposed to see the bride
before the wedding.
Right.
No, babe, we're not
rushing into anything.
I knew from
the first day we went out
that I'd spend
the rest of my life with you.
You're my heart, Sabrina.
You're my heart, too.
-Jason, let's not
do this again, okay?
-All right.
Let's not let
other people get
in between the two of us.
Pinky swear?
Pinky swear.

[knocking on door]
[Claudine] Sabrina, get up!
I'm awake.
Morning.
Morning.
I wanted to give you this
before everything gets
hectic today.
What's this?
Oh, this was Grand-Mere's.
And her Grand-Mere's.
Something old.
It's lovely, Mom. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you for everything.
Sweetheart, we love Jason.
But are you sure about this?
How can you ask me that?
Are you trying to
ruin my wedding day?
No.
I've never stood in
the way of your dreams,
but what kind of mother would
I be if I didn't ask?
Sabrina, marriage is serious.
It's for life. Are you ready?
Yes.
Are you and Dad
getting a divorce?
Now, why would you
ask me that?
[speaking French]
[sighs]
I was wrong.
Your father's not
having an affair.
Mom, I see the way
you guys treat each other.
You don't look at
each other anymore
when you talk.
-You don't even
touch each other.
-We're not getting a divorce.
The vows say for
better or for worse,
and even though
we're pretty close,
we're not at our worse.
No matter what,
I'm still committed
to your father
and I still love him.
-No matter what happens?
-No matter what.
I want that with Jason, Mom.
I want that for you, too.
I'll tell you
something that Mabel told me
the day I got married.
Life is like a disco.
No matter how
the music changes,
you just keep dancing.
That sounds like Mabel.
[sighs] Mom.
I can't lie to you.
I'm nervous.
Oh, sweetheart.
-This is gonna be
a great day, right?
-Mmm-hmm.
It is.
-Jason, you know I love you
and I want the best for you.
-I know, Mama, I know.
Well, what is done
in the dark must
come to light.
Mama, Mama, listen.
What's wrong?
You should be happy.
You're one step closer
to getting those grandkids
you've been wanting.
Jason, I need to tell
you something and I feel
that now is the...
Good morning, Pam.
Jason, you ready?
I'm ready, I'm ready.
Mama, smile. Okay?
Smile. Hold that thought!
Jason, I need
to talk to you!
Yes, yes, yes,
I want some of that, that.
Excuse me.
Wait, why do you
keep leaving?
'Cause I'm not
trying to go to prison.
I see you got jokes.
Boy, do you know I could snap
your little butt in two
with all these curves?
You promise?
Okay, so now
you got jokes.
Look, I may have
the body of a 20-year-old,
but I have the heart,
the mind, and the soul
of a grown man.
That doesn't change the date
on your birth certificate.
Well, I'm sorry
you feel that way.
Oh, help me, Jesus.
That boy is fine.
If there is any
Geneva drama today,
I will unleash
a world of hurt.
[speaks French]
What a surprise.
You speak French?
[speaks Spanish]
That's Spanish.
[speaks French]
I'm not a fool.
And I'm not a scientist.
But I do know some things.
[speaks French]
What are you doing
way over there?
Hey.
Don't you look
sweet enough to eat.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
I thought you wanted this.
I did. I did.
Well, I thought I did.
I don't know.
Maybe it's
because my best friend
-is getting married today,
and I'm not.
-Oh.
You know, it's...
You're not the kind
of guy I'm used to.
What are you
still doing here?
I don't know.
But I need to know.
What do you think of me?
What do I think of you?
You're like a pomegranate.
Like a piece of fruit?
You have this hard,
protective shell.
You know,
the jewelry, the clothes.
The sharp tongue.
But underneath that shell,
you're real sweet.
A real beauty inside.
You see all that?
Yes, I do.
I'd love to
tell you more.
But first, I have
a date with some chicken.
-Yeah.
-See you later?
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
So, you went crawling
back like a little girl, huh?
Is that what you did?
You had to go back
for that money?
Mr. Watson with the ball,
quarterbacking.
He's got a half-gray,
half-black Jheri curl.
A-one.
Maybe you should get
two wedding dresses made.
Two girls getting married.
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
[Willie Earl] Throw
the ball, baby!
[Jason] What the...
-Hey, man!
-What the hell was that?
It's touch football,
pretty boy.
-You call that touch?
-Yeah, I touched you,
didn't I?
Come on, Malcolm,
take off that halter top
so we can see your belly ring!
Looking like
America's Next Top Model!
Roses right this way.
Thank you again for doing this
at the 11th hour,
Reverend James.
It means the world to us.
Yes. See you then.
Thank you.
Anything I can do?
Mrs. Watson, we have
a problem in the kitchen.
Yes. Stay out of my way.
Really.
It looks beautiful.
Thank you so much
for wearing the dress.
Here, this is for the wedding.
I hope you like gardenias.
[chuckles nervously]
Of course,
you don't have to wear it
if you don't want to.
Listen, Mrs. Taylor,
I really want to
apologize about last night.
Nobody meant any harm and...
Well, it's your wedding.
It's stressful
and I understand.
Thank you.
And I know you want
us to jump the broom,
but Jason and I wanna
start our own traditions,
so we're probably
not gonna do it.
I'm out of pins.
I'll be right back.
Do not move.
Thank you, Mabel.
Looks lovely.
So nice to finally
meet you and your family.
Thank you.
Well, I'm gonna go get
ready for the big day.
Your Aunt Geneva,
I really enjoyed her singing.
She's something else, huh?
Well, that's my auntie.
Yeah, and your mother,
she was pretty upset
about her doing that, huh?
What do you mean?
Well, I saw them later,
last night, arguing.
Oh, it was pretty heated.
Well, I'm sure
it was no big deal.
I mean, every family
has their issues, so...
You're right.
Every family has their issues.
And secrets.
Sabrina! Sabrina,
come quick. Jason's hurt.
Jason? Wait, don't go!
Jason? Jason, are you okay?
-Oh, my goodness!
-I'm fine, babe.
Who hurt my baby?
-What happened?
-Just...
[panting]
Who hurt my baby?
He all right.
My fault, Auntie P.
He was running.
You know, he ain't
been working out lately.
[scoffs]
Oh, Jason.
Honey, I'm gonna
have to take you home.
Home? Where, to Brooklyn?
Yes, to Brooklyn!
I can call your
pediatrician, Dr. Hunter.
Pediatrician,
are you serious?
Pam, this grown man
don't need no pediatric...
Ain't nobody
said pediatrician!
Mom, I'm fine.
-Yeah, you going overboard.
-Willie Earl, ain't
nobody asked you nothing.
-[Ricky] Okay?
-[Pam] Come on,
let me help you.
[Jason] Thanks, babe.
Jason, what time
is the ferry?
He's gonna be fine.
We're just gonna get
him some ice, okay?
Now, you wait just one minute,
Miss Johnny-come-lately.
You haven't known
my son over six,
what, seven months?
And who the hell
you think you are
to know what's best
for him over his mother?
You know what?
I spent the last two days
listening to you
disrespect Jason,
me, my family...
Your family? [scoffs]
You think your family
is so perfect?
Honey, you don't even know
who your parents are.
[laughs] What are you
talking about?
Ask your daddy who
your real father is.
Mrs. Taylor!
You are way out of line.
Dad, I mean, she's crazy.
Dad?
-What...
-Honey, it's complicated.
No, it's not complicated.
Either you are
or aren't my father.
We should talk
to your mother.
Fine, let's go.
Sabrina.
Yeah, go talk
to your mama!
Really, Mom?
Keep chopping.
I need that whole bowl.
We are going to have to
polish every one
of these glasses, Mabel.
Look at this!
Sabrina's getting
married in three hours,
and look at me!
[laughs]
Sorry. Look at you.
Great.
-What's wrong?
-Is there something
you need to tell me?
[Claudine] Tell you?
Tell you what?
-Why are you so upset?
-We should discuss
this in private.
No, Dad, there's
no more private here.
Somebody's gonna
tell me the truth.
Mom?
Mom, tell me that
this lady's crazy
and that she's making this up.
Tell me the truth.
Are you two my parents?
Sabrina, honey,
listen. Um...
I was 16.
Honey, your parents were...
Honey, they were
already married, you know?
It just made sense
for them to take you.
Sweetheart.
From the moment I saw you,
you were mine.
And every moment
that we spent together,
you became a part of me.
I didn't wanna lose you.
No, don't...
Happy now?
-The wedding's off.
-What?
You let this happen.
Sabrina...
[Sabrina slams door]
Sabrina, hold on!
Sabrina, wait,
let's talk about this!
Sabrina, wait!
I'm gonna take care of this!
Come on, baby, please! Talk...
Sabrina! Sabrina!
-What was that?
-It was the truth.
I prayed on it.
Somebody had to tell her.
You prayed on it.
And God told you
to do this?
To destroy a family
and ruin Sabrina's life?
I was protecting you!
Protecting me
from what, Mom? I'm not
a 10-year-old boy anymore!
-That's still
your mama, now...
-I got this!
No, no, no, no,
you watch your tone.
You realize who
you're talking to.
Mom, what is it
that you want from me?
You want love?
I'll give it to you.
-You want respect?
I give you that, too.
-Respect?
Well, you haven't
given me very much of that
this weekend.
How? Because
the shrimp was cold
or your pies didn't
make it on the menu?
Or because Sabrina
just doesn't wanna
jump the broom?
It's her wedding,
not yours.
Listen, you and
that little girl
have been dating
for six months.
She thinks she's too good
to come across the bridge,
-say hello to me?
-No, she doesn't.
No, she doesn't.
I wouldn't let her.
-You?
-Yes.
Can you understand
why now?
Look at what you've done.
Mom, every single woman
that I've let in my life,
you've driven 'em away
with your manipulations.
And I actually thought
Sabrina would be
a little different.
But, no. You win.
-Jason...
-No, Mom, no.
You treat me like
I'm either a little boy
or your husband.
And I'm neither.
I am a man
and I am your son.
And I promised you
that I will always
be here for you.
And that hasn't changed.
That hasn't.
But you have got to change.
You've got to change, Mom.
Excuse me.
Show's over.
Go about your business.
What was that?
-I didn't mean to say it.
-Yes, you did.
-I did not!
It just slipped out!
-It slipped out?
You know you've been trying
to break up this marriage
ever since the beginning,
you know that?
-I feel terrible about this!
-You ought to feel
terrible about this, Pam!
You know, it's real
funny how people like
to apologize after
they do something bad.
It's real funny.
I see you sitting
there with your Bible.
You praying.
Trying to make up with God?
If you wanna pray
on something, Pam,
you better pray that
Jason get that girl back.
Pray on that.
And fix your wig
on your head.
Sabrina, it's me.
Please tell us where you are.
We got your back, girl.
Just call, tell us what to do.
Sabrina.
Ricky,
I'm gonna go to the cliffs,
if you could go to the swings.
-And, Sebastian,
you check State Beach.
-Got it.
Jason, where should we look?
Thank you, Shonda.
She could come with me.
Sebastian, didn't I
tell you that I wasn't
trying to go to prison?
Look, woman, this isn't
about you and me.
This is about
Jason and Sabrina,
so get in the car and
help me find Sabrina.
Well, all right.
Look here.
You chasing now?
Sell out your whole family
for this uppity chick?
This is not
the time for this.
What's the rush?
Ain't nobody the best man now.
Ooh!
The guests will be
arriving in an hour.
Should we start
making the calls?
No. Not yet.
You know, when Daddy died,
I felt alone.
Like anything that went wrong,
it was up to me to fix.
Well, I can't fix this.
I need you.
I need your help, God.
All I ask is that you
bring her back to me.
That's all I ask.
Sabrina?
Thank you for calling me.
Don't thank me just yet.
I know you just think
we're just all horrible.
And this may sound crazy,
but, cherie,
we didn't tell you
because we love you.
It does sound crazy.
How could you lie to me?
What kind of woman
just leaves her child
for someone else to raise?
I wasn't a woman.
I was a child.
Your Grand-Mere knew that.
But look at you, Sabrina.
You are beautiful.
God, you're smart.
You're everything
I would've ever
wanted you to be.
But I wouldn't have
been able to give you
what Claudine gave you.
And I gave her
hell about it, too.
[stammering]
And what about my father?
I, um, took this
summer trip to France
and I met this gorgeous man.
We spent two weeks together
and we fell
deliriously in love.
I mean, we planned
to travel the world.
And then he told me
about his wife and kids.
I returned to the States
unmarried and pregnant.
So, they just cleaned
up your mess, huh?
Mom and Dad,
they just took me.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes.
Yes.
Sabrina, having you
was the greatest
achievement of my life.
And not caring
for you every day
was my greatest failure.
Don't let all this keep you
from your blessing.
You have a good man
who's looking for you.
You okay, baby?
I am so sorry.
You were right.
And I promise you
this will never happen again.
I spoke to my mom.
And if you just, please,
just give me another chance,
I promise...
Jason, no. I can't.
We can't.
Your mother
ruined our wedding.
You're not the man
I thought you were.
-Baby.
-And you didn't protect me,
-you didn't defend me.
-Sabrina...
Everything has changed.
My life has changed!
Sabrina?
Breathe.
Just breathe, baby.
Jason,
it's too messy now.
I don't know who I am.
How can I marry you?
Sabrina, you remember
when you told me
that details are
what make the person?
Well, here are some details.
Sabrina, you're an optimist.
Whenever anyone's
having a bad day,
all you have to do is smile
and you bring
them right back up.
And you taught me the value
of protecting our love.
And I know it was
hard for you,
but you kept
your vow to God.
Baby, that's who
I fell in love with.
That's who you are.
That's who I love.
And, yeah, I know it's a mess,
but you know what, baby?
It's our mess.
Ours.
You left out one
important detail.
What, babe?
I love you.
♪ I belong to you
♪ There's nothing I can do
but love you
I love you, too.
Okay.
Will you please never
take this off again?
Pinky swear.
I hope our honeymoon's
better than this.
Oh, I promise you.

[Pam] Dear Sabrina, I'm sorry.
I feel sick about how
I behaved this weekend.
I was afraid of being alone.
I want you to have this broom
because it means more to me
than almost
anything else in the world,
and I pray you and Jason
have a long and
happy life together.
Pam.
Lord, give me strength.
Sabrina?
She's on the run again!
-What now? Please.
-Sabrina!
Sabrina!
Wait, wait!
-Where is she going?
-Wait!
Mrs. Taylor!
Sabrina?
Don't go, don't go!
-My goodness!
-Got your note.
Jason and I need
you to be here, okay?
Oh, honey.
All right? Come on.
Don't be silly now.
-Look at you!
You look beautiful.
-Yeah?
-I wanna be here, too.
-Good.
-Here, let me
get your gown.
-Oh, thank you.
Sir, bring my bags!
Bring my bags!
Come on.
[playing classical music]
-Love you, sweetie.
-I love you, too.
Jason.
Please be seated.
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
[all] We do.
Sabrina,
you've given me the clarity,
the strength,
and the wisdom
to be a better man.
Jason, you make me happier
than anyone ever has.
I don't wanna live
life unless you're in it.
You're my man.
-I love you.
-I love you.
Sabrina, Jason,
by the powers invested in me,
I pronounce you
husband and wife.
You may salute your bride.
Come on.
Oh...
I taught him how to kiss,
you know what I'm saying.
Ladies and gentlemen...
Ladies and gentlemen,
brothers and sisters,
may I present to you...
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
Amy, come here.
There.
Oh!
[mouthing] Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
brothers and sisters,
I present to you
Mr. and Mrs.
Jason Edgar Taylor.
[all cheering]
So, are you on Facebook?
No.
-Twitter?
-Nope.
Can I at least text you?
Sebastian,
you're such a great guy,
but we're just in
two different places
in our lives, and...
Did Sebastian just...
Not your business,
not your business.
[sighs]
You know, not a lot of men
would've raised
someone else's daughter.
Not a lot of men
were lucky enough
to marry you.
You still feel lucky?
You know I feel lucky.
-This feels like
the last hurrah.
-Mmm.
So, we'll go
to China on miles.
I am gonna miss
the Four Seasons.
Well, I do have
a rainy-day fund
for special occasions.
You kept it hidden from me?
Not all secrets are bad.
You
are smart.
And beautiful.
-So, how much?
-Ah...
Wouldn't you like to know?
Yeah, I would.
Maybe I'll invest it.
[Willie Earl] Excuse me!
Hear ye, hear ye!
I'd like
everybody's attention.
Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'd like to say one thing.
I'd like to send
a congratulations out
to the bride and groom,
the beautiful Miss Sabrina.
And, Jason,
I'm proud of you, nephew.
-And I know your father
would be, too, man.
-Thanks, Willie Earl.
You deserve this happiness.
This time right here
is a beautiful time
for alls of us
to come together
and be a family in one.
That's right, and you know
what a family does
when we get together.
We party.
Now, I know,
Sabrina, you didn't want me
to do the Electric Slide.
But I can do
the Cupid Shuffle.
Y'all wanna help me
do the Cupid Shuffle?
Come on, Sabrina, please,
can we do the Cupid Shuffle?
Come on, I know
how to do the Cupid Shuffle.
Come on, let's do it!
-Come on! Hannah Montana! Akon!
-[dance music playing]
All you ladies with
them tight shoes on,
come on up out of them shoes.
We seen 'em already.
Come on, baby girl!
Get you a white girl!
Get you a black man!
Come on and dance with me.
["Cupid Shuffle" playing]
One, two, three, four!
What is this dance?
Oh, it's the Cupid Shuffle.
What's that?
It's like the Hokey Pokey
for black people.
I get that.
-Do you wanna do it?
-Do it?
-The dance?
-Oh, the... Yeah.
-With me?
-Sure.
Amy.
Malcolm.
Thanks.

You're beautiful, caring.
And don't get me started
about that sexy body.
You're the type
of woman a man keeps.
And I know
you're working later,
but, baby,
I need to see you tonight.
Well, I wanna
see you tonight, too.
Uh, baby, can I
call you right back?
Yeah. No, I promise.
All right, sexy.
Yeah, I gotta go.
No, I promise, I promise.
All right, beautiful. Bye.
[hangs up] Breakfast?
Oh! I gotta go.
I just remembered
I have a 10:00 photo shoot.
[Sabrina] Oh, God,
I did it again.
I gave up the cookie
for a cute face,
nice body, and some
mediocre conversation.
I don't even think he
can spell "mediocre."
I promise, God, again,
that if you get me
out of this situation
with some dignity...
[laughing]
Okay, just get me out of here.
I promise to only
share my cookies
with my future husband.
No more of this.
And, God, because it's obvious
I don't know how to
spot a human being,
could you please make it clear
who you want me to be with?
I mean, clear clear,
the kind of clear that...
-Hey...
-Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Oh, no!
Are you okay?
Oh, my God!
Sir, are you okay?
I am so sorry!
I didn't see you.
I mean, you came
out of nowhere.
I could've killed you.
Do you know that?
I could've killed you!
Are you okay?
You look okay,
but you could be dying
of internal bleeding,
where people have concussions
and they think they're fine
and then they go to sleep
and then they never wake up.
You could be dying.
Oh, my God, I killed you.
I'm not dead. I'm alive.
Well, listen,
my name is Sabrina Watson.
I have great insurance
and an excellent dry cleaner.
I even have a good enough job
to pay for dinner.
I clearly owe you,
and you could have
whatever you want on the menu.
-Well, except for
the cookie plate.
-Sabrina?
Sabrina Watson?
Breathe.
I'm fine.
[Sabrina] God, did I say
how much I love
your sense of humor?
-[Jason] Verdict?
-[Sabrina] Amazing.
My parents took
me to see Carmen
when I was a little girl.
Back then, you know,
all that mattered to me
was the music
and the costumes.
But now,
I realize it's all
about love and anger
and how they're linked,
but, ultimately...
Incompatible.
Jason Taylor,
you are full of surprises.
Babe, I have you
to thank for it.
I mean, to think that
I grew up in this city
and all this time
I had no idea...
Come on, let's go.
...that all this
was available to us.
-I mean, opera?
-You liked it?
-I loved it.
-Really?
But, babe, you can't
tell the guys about
all the stuff we do.
They're still hazing me
about the picnic we had
in Central Park.
Okay, fine.
You promise?
Pinky swear.
I trust you.
So, I hear
the Peking Opera
is fantastic.
Supposedly, it's like nothing
you've ever seen before.
Peking?
You got the offer.
It's cutting-edge IP
law and a 20% pay raise.
-Wow.
-Couldn't say no.
I understand.
Congrats. Uh...
When would you start?
-Two months.
-Two months?
So soon?
Yeah.
Wow. Two months.
Jason, I know we haven't
been together that long,
and I probably have no
right to ask you this,
but I just feel like...
[sighs] I don't know.
Do you think we could
try to make it work?
Babe, China is
really far away.
-I don't know.
-There's the telephone
-and Internet
and Skype, and...
-Skype.
And I'd be back
every two months
for meetings.
Look, uh...
I just... The long
distance thing, I...
I don't know. I don't...
I don't believe in it.
So, what does that mean?
It means that you have
a really good opportunity
in front of you,
and I'm not gonna
stand in the way of it.
Well, it sounds to me
like you made up your mind.
It was a fun night.

It doesn't matter,
as long as we're together.
You've introduced
me to a world
that I can't even
begin to imagine
living without you.
I don't want to.
I want you
in my life forever.
Sabrina, I prayed on it,
and God answered
me with you.
Sabrina Watson,
would you marry me?

[Claudine] Mabel?
Let's give each of
the couples an extra bag
of the wasabi peanuts.
Yes, Mrs. Watson.
-I'm sorry.
-Amy. Are you okay?
Yes, I tend to
get a little nervous
before a big event.
You do plan big events
for a living, no?
Yes, I do, ma'am.
And as to yours,
tomorrow is day one.
The, um, workmen will
arrive in the morning
to hoist the tent
for the reception.
Jason and Sabrina will meet
with Reverend James
to discuss the service.
The bulk of the guests
will be arriving on
the midday ferry,
followed by 3:00 pm,
the rehearsal.
And then cocktails
and the rehearsal dinner
in the tent.
Amy, remember,
I just want everything
to be very simple,
-elegant and modern,
you know?
-Mmm-hmm.
And I need to
have a long table
so we can all sit together
like one big, happy family.
That is gonna be so fun to do
at the round tables
I was told to order.
Right. Not to worry
about that.
I'll just make
that go bye-bye.
-Oh, good.
-Continue.
Right. Day two,
the big day, Saturday.
Breakfast on the deck.
Later, the women
will primp and groom
while the men play football.
A Watson family tradition
I wish I could ignore.
Like the round tables,
I can make that go away.
Back to the wedding.
All right,
rental chairs and lanterns
will be arranged
here on the lawn.
The ceremony
begins at 2:00 pm sharp
with dinner and
dancing to follow.
And on Sunday morning,
Jason and I will be
Mr. and Mrs.
Jason Edgar Taylor.
Girl!
Oh...
-Oh, wow. Okay.
-Yeah.
Well, I'm gonna
check on...
What's wrong?
Oh, Mom, come on.
Oh, it's just...
It's just all so rushed.
No time for
an engagement party
or bridal shower.
Really, Sabrina.
It looks as if we
have no home training.
We should've taken
months to plan this.
Really, why the rush?
If you're pregnant,
you can tell me.
For the millionth time,
no, I'm not pregnant.
Okay? Trust me.
Jason and I are in love,
really in love.
We wanna go to China
as husband and wife,
a team.
Jason makes a good impression,
but we haven't
met his family yet.
What are they like?
Oh, Amy! Let's put
some greens in
with the roses, okay?
-For, like, a pop of color.
-Sabrina.
Oh, and Bellinis.
Mom, you love Bellinis.
Let's serve
Bellinis as well, okay?
-Sabrina!
-Yes?
What are they like?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Sabrina, your father
and I have invested
over half a million
dollars in your education.
Communicate.
I haven't met them yet.
I know. I tried,
but it was hard for
Jason to work it out!
Sabrina!
Mrs. Taylor is
a very busy woman.
-Sabrina.
-Mom,
everybody's
gonna love each other
because Jason and I
love each other.
How can you say you love him
when you don't know them?
They could be awful
-or...
-Or great.
Come on.
You worry too much!
No, you don't worry enough.
Well, it's all
under control. Right, Amy?
Okay, Miss O'Neal. Next!
So, when are you leaving?
You know all those people
over at the Vineyard,
they are so loaded,
even their servants are rich.
I can't believe
little Jason is getting
married this weekend,
and I'm not gonna be there.
Well, of course
you're not gonna be there.
You wearing a ankle bracelet
and it's not for fashion.
Next!
What's the girl like?
Miss O'Neal, go on, now.
I gotta go to work. Next!
Come on up here, baby.
Hurry up. I ain't got all day.
[cell phone ringing]
What?
One minute, baby.
[man] Come on,
girl, don't...
-Shonda!
-Pam, I'm busy.
You see this long line
we have out here?
Excuse us, excuse us.
What's the problem, Pam?
I have tried to be
nice to this girl,
but you know by now
she should've come over here
to Brooklyn to meet me.
You will not believe it.
She sent me a text message.
A text message!
Talking 'bout she want
me to bring some
baby pictures of Jason
so she can put 'em in
the wedding program.
She treating me
like I'm her secretary,
not the mother-in-law to be!
She got Jason's nose all open,
talking about she gonna
take him to China.
China! My Jason don't like
nothing sweet and sour.
This girl need to have
a little more respect
for me!
Why are your
panties all in a wad?
Didn't you tell me
that Jason hadn't
met her family, either?
Heifer, whose side you on?
All this stuff going on,
her text messaging me
when she can
pick up a telephone
and call me like
I'm a human being. Mmm-mmm!
I don't play this.
Strike one.
Don't forget about your
anger management classes, Pam.
Calm down.
-Uh...
-Huh!
Honey, you gonna have
to go get back in line.
I'm going to lunch.
[woman] What?
Our guests arrive tomorrow,
so we will need to
prepare every room.
All the linens
need to be changed.
The floors need to sparkle.
-And sparkle they will,
Mrs. Watson.
-Each of the guest rooms
-needs to get
a bouquet of summer flowers.
-Yes, Mrs. Watson.
And we have to
assemble the gift boxes
-for all of our
out-of-town guests.
-[phone ringing]
Yes, Mrs. Watson.
Where in hell are you?
Meeting ran long.
I'm on my way
to the airport now.
Did you forget
that we have 50 people
arriving here tomorrow
for our daughter's wedding?
[stammering]
Your sarcasm is unattractive.
Gregory, I cannot tolerate
one of your disappearing acts.
I am not doing this alone.
Yeah. Calm down.
You're not alone.
Like I said,
I'm on my way to the airport.
[hangs up]
Where were we?
All right. Where were we?
Yeah.
Dissolution of property.
Gregg, I can't
keep up this charade.
I've known Claudine
for a long time,
and I do owe her
a modicum of respect.
You have to tell her,
or I will.

-Wifey-to-be,
wifey-to-be. Mmm!
-What are you doing?
God, the stairs weren't
good enough for you, huh?
I'm old school, babe.
I got the horse
double-parked downstairs.
Ain't that how they
do it in the movies?
-What's wrong, babe?
-I'm just really nervous
about meeting your mom.
I need to know
more about her.
-Like what?
-I don't know, just,
you know, details.
Details are
what make a person.
Like what's her taste in art?
Is she more MoMA or Met?
-Does she eat
sushi or soul food?
-Baby...
Does she wanna
play Mahalia Jackson
or Michael Jackson?
-Breathe.
-[exhales]
Okay.
Let's see, my mom.
She's a very sweet...
Yeah?
...gentle,
soft-spoken woman.
-Really?
-Just like you.
-Aw...
-Come here.
-Mmm.
-Mmm.
Oh, God.
I know, I know.
Wait. Oh, my gosh.
Sorry, Jason, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I just...
I know.
I can't do that.
The promise you made
with God, right?
Yes, and you should
respect it.
I respect it, babe,
but it ain't easy.
I mean, look at you.
I mean, come on.
-Can we just
keep that open?
-No, we can't. We can talk.
-Talk?
-Yes.
French.
[both speaking French]
I don't know what to say.
Just say anything.
[speaking French]
I don't know
what you just said,
but it sounded so good.
Did it?
[Claudine] Sabrina!
Reverend James is here!
See? You hear that?
That's God
talking through my mom.
[both sigh]
Oh... Oh, my God.
You couldn't control it?
I'm okay with
this waiting thing,
but he is pissed at my
choice in women right now.
Say you're sorry.
Say you're sorry.
I'm sorry. Kind of.
-It's not working.
-Not really.
-French?
-Get outta here.
-[Claudine] Sabrina!
-I'm coming, Mom!
Maybe we could get
to the last detail
of this wedding, the reading.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I was thinking Jude,
Chapter three.
"The quality of
mercy is not strained.
"It falls like a gentle
rain from the heavens."
That's Shakespeare.
That's not Jude three?
There is no Jude three.
-There's no Jude three?
-No.
I was thinking Corinthians 13.
"Love is patient,
love is kind."
How about John 15?
That's my mother's favorite.
Well, it's our wedding, so...
Well, babe, it would
really make my mother happy,
come on.
Yeah. And when
she gets married again,
they can read it
for her, okay?
Wait a minute, wait a minute,
hold up a minute.
Maybe we should just
look at Genesis 2:24.
It says,
"For this cause shall a man
"leave his
mother and his father
"and take unto him a wife
"and then they shall cleave
and become one flesh."
Mmm.
Now, that...
That feels good.
That is a good one.
That's a good one.
Could we possibly get back
to you on this one, Rev?
Certainly, certainly.
Let's talk about it.
Sabrina, dear,
I understand that
you love each other
and that you're maybe even
meant to be together.
But I should warn you
that sometimes life
will really test you.
Well, we'll pass.
I mean, Reverend James,
Jason was sent to me.
-He's my soul mate.
-Mmm-hmm.
Oh, that's so sweet.
But even a soul mate
can really test you.
[Sabrina] You've known me
since I was just a wee
little thing, and now...
-Pigtails and braces.
-Yes!
-Look at you now. So wonderful.
-That's right.
Can you believe it?
I tell you what,
I'm gonna have to
leave you lovebirds
and get on back to the church
so we can have
this marvelous
wedding of yours.
Oh, thank you! [laughs]
-Be sweet, dear.
-Thank you so much.
-And take care.
-Thanks.
-We'll talk soon.
-All right, Rev.
-All the best.
See you all. Bye-bye.
-All right, see you tomorrow.
-Take care.
-Bye.
[sighs] Oh!
It's almost noon.
I gotta go pick up
my mom, all right?
No, no, no, no!
You're not going anywhere.
-What do you mean, babe?
-Amy sent a car for her.
-Amy sent a car
for my mom?
-Yes.
Oh, babe, this ain't
gonna be good.
What do you mean?

Where's Willie Earl?
No, he could be
anywhere.
I see you been
around the world.
You got a few stamps
in your passport.
[scoffs] It's none
of your business.
Just trying to have
a polite conversation.
I'm sure whatever
distant land you come from
that line about stamps
may work as
a natural aphrodisiac.
To me, however,
it's just country.
Ain't nothing wrong
with a little
biscuit and gravy.
Oh, please.
Don't walk away
from your future.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Please get me out of here.
See, that's what
I'm talking about.
[Pam] Be careful with that.
He know what he doing.
Shonda, I am
trying to be nice,
but who are they
trying to impress, huh?
A car? A driver?
Why couldn't
they send somebody
from the family
down here to pick us up?
And where the hell is Jason?
What you looking at?
Girl, what you
think I'm looking at?
It's August in the Vineyard.
I'm looking for
Barack and Michelle.
Oh, God.
[sighs]
Have you seen Sabrina?
Thank you.
No, but, Mrs. Watson,
the calligrapher broke her arm
and she can't
finish the guest cards.
So, I was...
Okay.
And that's not your problem.
That's my problem. Moving on.
The bedrooms are all ready.
Thank you, Mabel.
Have you seen Sabrina?
I'm right here, Mom.
Where's Sebastian?
He missed the ferry,
but he'll be here
for the cocktail party.
-You all are
working my last nerve.
-Relax.
-Hey! Sweetie!
-Hi, Dad.
So good to see you!
All right, they'll
be here any minute.
Go change.
That sounded a little
bit like, "Go fetch."
Ah, ah.
Dad, Mom is right.
You need to make
a good impression
on my future
mother-in-law, okay?
Absolutely, sweetie.
Thanks, Dad.
-[car honks]
-Oh! That's them!
They're here!
Mom, how do I look?
-Do I have
anything in my teeth?
-Sabrina.
What about my nose?
-Sabrina, that is vile.
-[doorbell rings]
Now, remember who you are.
[speaks French]
Hello.
Claudine.
Geneva.
Auntie!
You made it!
Look at you.
You're beautiful.
-[speaks French]
-Ah...
Why didn't you respond
to the wedding invitation?
The mail on the island
is so unpredictable.
Are there no
phones on the island?
-Oh, Claudie.
-Mom.
[both laughing]
Where are you staying?
-In Grand-Mere's
old room, of course.
-[stutters]
-See? Room for me.
-Come on.
I have so much to tell you!
[Geneva] I can't wait
to show you what I bought you.
It's see-through.
-[Sabrina] So, it's really
a gift for Jason.
-And where is he?
I need to see
the man who stole
my little girl's heart.
Auntie, you are
going to love him.
First of all...
Just bring 'em in
here and drop 'em.
Drop 'em right here. Put it...
She sure can pack
for a two-day wedding.
You know,
if you don't mind me asking,
Mrs. Watson, she's like a...
She's like a couple
shades lighter than you.
Is that...
Is that the normal kind...
Fair question.
She's like a mocha.
You're like a...
I don't know,
like a milk chocolate.
Got it.
-Ooh! It's pretty nasty.
What is this, Auntie?
-[laughing]
Now, now, this is not
for your honeymoon night.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, this is for
when you guys fight
or you want
something expensive.
You put this on and you
cook him some dinner.
-[Sabrina] Ah, got it.
-[Geneva] I might not know
anything about marriage,
but I do know
how to help you
guys stay married.
Auntie, I think you
got the perfect one.
-I love it!
It's the best.
-Good!
I love you, cherie.
[Sabrina] I love you so much.
[Malcolm] Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Do everybody out here
got their own boat?
[Willie Earl] I don't wanna
get on no boats around here.
Make you feel
like they're taking
you back to Africa.
This place is amazing.
This is so beautiful.
Look at these houses!
You know, I was
thinking I could
represent Jason's father,
say a few kind words
over dinner about love
and marriage.
Okay, so now
you a pro at marriage?
-Could be.
-[Shonda] All right.
So, how many marriages
have you had, Willie Earl?
-Three.
-Who?
Four, four, four,
four times.
But I married
one of them twice.
And don't forget
about that fiasco
in Mexico last year,
remember that?
No, Willie Earl, she was fine.
I would've went
to Mexico for that.
What a brother
will do for the taco.
And a burrito
and rice and beans.
[Malcolm] You probably
left a baby down there,
Willie Earl.
[Shonda] Come on, Pam.
Come on, Pammy Pam.
So what they
didn't come meet us
at the dock,
and you haven't met the girl?
But we're here now.
Can we please
have a good time?
I don't care what
y'all talking about.
This is nice.
Get picked up
like this every day.
[Willie Earl] They got
their own lake or something?
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Are you serious?
You guys, look at that!
Oh, my God!
-[Malcolm] This is nice.
-[Shonda] You guys, it's like
the Kennedy Compound!
[Malcolm] That's gotta be
an apartment complex.
They got workers
and everything.
-[Shonda] Look at 'em.
They got white people working.
-Ooh!
I bet they got,
like, five bathrooms.
Doing good for theyself.
Come on, y'all.
Calm down.
-We done seen
houses bigger than this.
-[Shonda scoffs]
-Where?
-No, we haven't!
[Malcolm] Black folks
own this? No.
[Malcolm] They're dressing
'em different now.
You look rich.
[Shonda] Well, does money
make you more beautiful?
[Willie Earl] If you fat
and unattractive,
money certainly will help.
-Willie Earl.
-Hey, whassup, Jay?
How you doing, man?
Good to see you.
My love to you, boy.
Long time no see.
Welcome to the Vineyard, Mom.
You sent a car
to get your mother?
Only the best for you.
Well, the best would've been
for you to pick me up.
I love you, too, Mom.
Mom, this is Sabrina.
Hello.
Hi! Mrs. Taylor!
It is so nice to
finally meet you!
[Jason] Isn't she great, Mom?
I'm sorry. I just...
I didn't think a handshake
expressed the moment,
you know?
No.
I'm a hugger. I like to hug.
I can see that.
Sorry.
I'm Claudine Watson.
Oh. Pam Taylor.
Well, may I say
that you've certainly
raised a wonderful man.
Thank you.
He is wonderful.
I wish I could say
the same about you
and your daughter.
Oh!
I said that the wrong way.
I mean, I wish I had
met her earlier,
before now,
and then I could say...
This is my family.
Shonda. She is
my mom's best friend.
-How you doing?
-Hello.
[Jason] Uncle Willie Earl.
Rich and fine.
Fine as a glass of wine.
And my cousin, Malcolm.
I invited the two
of them to stay here.
I hope that's okay.
Mom.
Oh, yes, yes.
I mean, we certainly
have enough room.
Why don't we go
into the house,
make you more comfortable.
[Sabrina] You guys have
to be so thirsty, huh?
We have Bellinis.
I hope you like Bellinis.
-Bellinis.
What the hell is that?
-Yes, yes.
[Jason] It is so good.
[Pam] I put some
Coca-Cola in and I...
Come on in, everyone.
Thank you.
Bellini for you, Mom.
-No, no, no, no.
-No? You sure?
Everyone, come on
into the living room.
William Earl, Michael?
-Malcolm.
-Oh, Malcolm.
Pardon me, Malcolm.
Please, have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
-Welcome, welcome.
-Is this...
[exhales]
I made Jason
a sweet potato pie.
It's his favorite.
Oh, well, what a lovely gift.
Yeah, no,
she's famous all over
Brooklyn for her pies.
Really? We'll have
to serve it tonight
at the rehearsal dinner.
Oh, no, no, no. This is
for Jason and his friends.
It's just that my
buddies always fight
over her pies.
She's a really,
really good cook.
Oh, well, Mrs. Taylor,
you really need to share
your recipes with me, huh?
Hear a way to a man's heart
is through his stomach.
It's a family secret.
Oh, well...
It's a good thing
we're all gonna be family
after tomorrow, huh?
Where can I put this?
You can shove it...
In the kitchen.
Thank you, Mabel.
Hello! Hello.
-Ah, Dad!
-Gregg Watson.
You must be Jason's sister.
[laughs]
No. I'm his mother.
-[speaks French]
-[exclaims]
Jason, why have you
kept this jewel hidden
from us?
-[Jason] My apologies.
-Oh, thank you.
We are so sorry
you couldn't make it
to lunch with us last month.
You all went to
lunch together?
-Where?
-Oh. 21.
-21.
-[Claudine] It was phenomenal.
Well, Jason told us
that you were busy.
Busy?
It was really
last-minute, Mom.
Oh.
Well, Mrs. Taylor,
allow me to show you
and Shondra to
your living quarters.
This way, please.
It's Shonda.
21? Strike two.
Oh, here we go.
"It's a family secret"?
What was that?
If I can't have your cookies,
you can't have my pies.
Hello! Maid of honor
in the house!
Blythe! Oh, my goodness!
Look at you, you look so good.
You are just in time
to counsel the bride
with a mother-in-law
situation.
Well, as long as
you pay me in Moet.
-Done. Come on.
-Let's do it.
Excuse me.
How you doing?
I'm Malcolm. And you are?
-Blythe.
-Blythe, Blythe, Blythe.
So, I hear you
the maid of honor.
Well, I'm the best man,
so there's gotta be
some kind of ritual
we can do
to get to know
each other better.
There is. There is.
It's called stop touching me.
-Okay.
-Oh, Bellini, lovely.
[Amy] Bellini?
Now, that's that
boomerang game, brother.
-She gonna come back.
-Okay.
No, I mean,
I feel so fresh.
You didn't use
that thing, did you?
You know I did.
And you know
what I realize?
That rich people are not happy
because of the money.
They're happy
because of the bidets.
The bidets make
you wanna go out
and make more money
-so you could buy
some more bidets.
-Listen,
they have those bidets
because they're full of it.
What, you brought a broom?
Oh, honey, this isn't
just any broom.
This is the broom
that Mike and I jumped
when we got married.
You know, I don't know
why I feel like
a bald-headed stepchild
at my own son's wedding.
And all that talk
about they didn't have time
for her to come
across the bridge
and meet me is just a lie.
Then they gonna go
to 21 without me.
Yeah, Jason,
he should've told you.
There's no reason
why they should've had
that party without you or me.
It wasn't Jason.
He'd never do that to me.
It was that little ugly girl
in that teeny tiny dress.
-[exclaims] Oh, my God!
-What is it?
Rich folks got good
taste in property,
but bad taste in snacks.
[Sabrina] Knock, knock!
[shudders]
-Hi.
-Hi.
I hope everything's
okay with the room.
Mmm.
So, I just...
I wanted to make
sure we're all set
for the fitting
tomorrow morning.
-Fitting?
-Yeah, Jason,
didn't tell you?
-Uh-uh.
-[sighs] He's such a man.
I bought you two
dresses to choose from.
-For?
-The wedding.
[laughs] Honey, no.
I dress myself. Thank you.
I know, but, you see,
I wanted everyone
to wear the same
shade of buff tomorrow,
for the optics.
Optics?
The photographs.
You mean pictures?
Well, then just say pictures.
Say pictures.
-Pictures.
-Well, if you had
mentioned a dress
in that lovely text message
you sent yesterday,
then I would not have gone out
and bought this one.
I mean, this got buff.
Buff, that's white, right?
White is buff?
-See? Lot of white in this.
-Yeah, kind of, but...
It's just...
Would you mind
wearing one of the dresses?
I'll have my
father reimburse you.
You don't mind, do you?
It's just, it's my wedding,
and I was hoping that...
Okay, okay,
I'll wear your dress.
Really?
[exclaims] Thank you!
I was...
Sorry. Just...
Okay. Well, um...
I hope you enjoy the box.
My mom made it special.
-I'll see you at
the rehearsal dinner.
-Mmm.
And I really think
you're gonna love
either one of the dresses.
Buff usually looks
good on everyone.
Just as a general
rule of thumb, so...
Okay.
Girl, I'm really
proud of you.
I mean, really,
that anger management class
must've really paid off.
That is strike three.
Who shows up with
extra weekend guests?
It's just so...
Ghetto?
I was gonna say simple.
Mere Claudine would
have put them back
on the ferry
faster than they could
say "sweet potato pie."
She nearly banned
Gregory's parents
from our wedding.
They never acted up again.
I wish I could say
the same for their son.
There's nothing
wrong with Gregory.
He invited his mistress
to the wedding.
You don't know
that to be true.
Mabel, I'm not a fool.
The signs have been
there for a while.
Well, that Mrs. Taylor
may be backwards,
but she sure can make a pie.
Mrs. Watson?
Oh, there you are.
Hey. Hi, Mabel.
-Oh, Lord.
-So, I told Chef
about our extra guests,
and he said,
"There's no more chicken."
So, I suggested
he serve salmon.
Well, he said
they seem like
chicken people to him.
And I thought that sounded
a little bit offensive,
but given the history
of our country,
I didn't think I was the one
who should point that out.
I really need him on my side
to pull this whole thing off.
So, anyway, bottom line,
he refuses to make
any new chicken
because he's already seasoned
the RSVP'd chicken,
so, you know, help.
Thanks.
Hoods are good for
a roll in the hay,
but you don't marry them.
I do agree with you,
but Jason has
become a bootstrapper.
Hoods, bootstrappers,
same thing.
-I know, right?
-[both laughing]
Then the ushers take
the mother of the bride
and mother of the groom
to their seats
on opposite
sides of the aisle.
Dude, they're
looking at me, ain't they?
Yeah, they're looking.
I ain't marrying nothing.
Talkin' about
some China. Right.
I bet you good money
that girl pregnant.
That's the only reason
Jason would be
getting married
this quick, bro.
No, I don't
believe she's pregnant.
And I don't think
Jason would appreciate you
spreading that rumor.
I ain't spreading a rumor,
I'm talking to you.
Okay, well,
maybe you should
be talking to Jason.
What is that,
that's your role here,
the rumor police?
No, I am a colleague.
Goldman Sachs,
maybe you heard of it?
No.
[Amy] And the best man
takes his place right here.
Ricky, please.
-Wait, wait.
-Right this way.
-You the best man?
-Yeah.
Ricky, if I could
get you up here.
Hey, your cousin's
hilarious.
What's he up to now?
I don't know, he seems
really interested in, um,
you and Sabrina's
love life.
Well, that makes two of us.
But in 23 more hours,
guess what?
-I will be good to go.
-Okay.
How long have
they been dating,
like, six months, right?
I guess they think
it's romantic.
Well, I don't know.
He might be getting
it from somewhere else
'cause the only guy
I know wait six months
to have sex
is either on
the low-down
or the down-low.
Hmm. True.
I want you to be
honest with me.
I'm gonna ask you something.
I wanna know right now.
-God, here we go.
-'Cause I know you,
all right?
How are you doing this?
Let's see.
Lot of baby oil,
medicated Vaseline.
-They have this new stuff...
-Okay, pause.
You asked.
Let's just say I've been
handling the situation.
Yeah, apparently,
for six months.
Yeah, six months.
And guess what?
For Sabrina,
I'd go another six months.
Just don't tell her
I said that,
'cause I don't wanna
give her any ideas.
I mean, seriously,
like, what kind of man
waits that long to have sex?
-The kind of man
I'm about to marry tomorrow.
-Oh!
And stop talking about me
and worry about
your own sad situation.
Where'd this come from?
The married one,
or the investment
banker or the footballer?
-I can't keep up
with you, Blythe.
-All of them.
Well, excuse me, Miss
"I-made-a-deal-with-God."
Just remember
that I knew you when.
Yes, and you are going
to be quiet about that.
I am not talking
about that this weekend.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-You do you
and I'll do me.
-Fine.
On that note, I'm gonna go
get another glass of
champagne. This one.
-Blythe!
-Darling, your secrets
are safe with me.
I don't understand
this obsession with chicken.
[Chef] Come on, people,
put some pep in your step.
Let's go, people.
They're getting
hungry outside.
And if these
are not going out,
put 'em on ice, please.
Getting hot out there.
Pardon me.
-Excuse me.
-Excuse me.
-Excuse me.
-Watch the stove. It's hot.
Uh, Blythe.
Chef.
Excuse me.
We need to talk.
Could you pick a worse time?
You've always been great
at recognizing a moment.
Our guests are
about to arrive.
Sarcasm is something
your family always used
to keep from actually
talking to each other.
I'm getting
pretty tired of it.
You shouldn't be out here
cleaning in this hot sun.
Don't you worry, Miss.
I'm okay.
Is sunscreen
something you would use?
-No.
-No.
So, is that
Jason's crew?
Hmm.
Slim pickings, right?
Ricky's kind of cute,
but what's up
with the pressed
khakis and Top-Siders?
Analysis.
He bought those clothes
to impress and look the part,
hoping that he would
rub elbows and maybe
come up like Jason.
[gasps] Don't talk
about my boo like that.
You know, if you'd stop dating
from that crazy list of yours,
you might actually
find a decent man.
I don't have a list.
You don't have a list?
[Blythe] I don't!
Okay, let's see.
Ivy League,
not by scholarship.
Seven-figure salary.
Black Card,
seasoned at least one year.
Laughs at all your jokes
and loves your mama.
Hmm? Need I say more?
But what are you guys saying,
that I should
lower my standards?
-Yeah.
-Yes!
-What?
-Because it's based
in fantasy.
You gotta look
through different eyes.
Open your mind to
other possibilities.
Ladies, hey.
Sorry for
ear-hustling over there,
but I agree with her.
You should open your eyes
to different possibilities.
See? No Ivy League. Uh-uh.
Seven figures? Not at all.
Close to five some
years when I'm working.
But I get you, Blythe.
We should hook up.
You and me.
I'm a hermaphrodite.
I don't care
what your religion is.
-It's more about us.
-Wow!
[Malcolm] It's nature.
Listen, baby,
this is the perfect weekend,
right? There's...
-[Chef] Ladies?
-[Sabrina] Thank you.
Caviar is very fresh.
You should try it.
Blythe, right?
Yeah.
I have something
I want you to try.
Why don't you come with me?
Oh. Okay.
Excuse me.
What, what...
What just happened?
Thanks for rescuing me.
My pleasure.
Thank you, sir.
I'm sorry.
I'm Sebastian.
Oh. I'm Shonda.
So, I'm guessing
you're a friend of the groom?
Um...
I'm his mama's
best friend.
I'm the bride's cousin.
How old are you?
I'll be a senior
next year at Yale.
[laughs] Cheers.
Okay, take care.
Try this.
[scoffs]
No.
-You feel that tingle
of champagne on your lips?
-Mmm-hmm.
And the smooth
and gentle texture
of the body
between your teeth?
Mmm-hmm.
And, finally,
the explosive finish
on your tongue?
Mmm-hmm.
[exhales]
You know,
the shrimp are cold.
They're supposed
to be that way, Mom.
I'm not having any
of this food. I'm hungry.
Who in our family
eats oysters?
And when did you
start eating oysters?
God, I mean,
you love my cooking.
Why didn't you just
run the menu by me?
Because all I did was
write the check, Mom.
These folk have all
the money in the world
and they got you
paying for this?
Mom, look at this.
No, you look at this.
Now, this is not you.
I know you.
You love greens.
You will not eat
a meal without greens...
-Mom? Mom.
-...and I don't see
a green anywhere.
I'll have the chef make us
our own pot of greens.
With neck bones.
Oh, that stanky chef
don't know nothing...
-Turkey neck bones,
just like you make 'em.
-...about no neck bones.
Well. Yes, okay.
Now, this pool is nothing.
I have a friend who's
got a big, big pool.
-It goes way up...
-Oh, Mom, come on.
It's true.
[all chattering]
[tapping fork on glass]
Hey, everybody,
if I could just get
your attention for a second.
I wanted to take a moment
to welcome you all to our home
and to thank you
for sharing this
special occasion with us.
Good friends and family,
we appreciate how hard
it was to come here
without much notice.
-For that,
you can thank Sabrina.
-[all chuckling]
-Oh, yes.
-[Gregory] Baby girl,
she is impulsive
and spontaneous.
She's got a good mind
and a huge heart.
And I love her.
Thank you, Dad.
And now Jason's uncle,
Willie Earl, will be
giving the blessing.
[Jason] Willie Earl.
Willie Earl.
-Uh-uh.
-What's happening, Pam?
[Sabrina] Okay.
[Pam] Heavenly Father,
dear Lord, thank you
for these gifts.
And thank you
for being merciful,
even to those who do not
appreciate your generosity.
Dear Lord,
they're sitting in
their expensive cars,
Lord, and they wear
their fancy clothes,
and they think
that they alone
are responsible
for everything they have.
-But, Lord, we know
the truth, don't we?
-This is not a blessing.
-Hey, baby, just breathe.
-We know that the meek...
[laughs]
The meek shall
inherit the Earth.
Thank you, Jesus.
Hallelujah! Amen!
Bon appetit.
What was that?
What was that?
Just breathe.
Your mother said
that I could
give the blessing.
Well, if that was a blessing,
you going to hell.
That was
completely inappropriate.
I'm inappropriate?
Where are my people?
Where is my family?
Well, aren't we all
gonna be family
after tomorrow?
That's right.
After tomorrow, it's on.
We're already all
one big family, right?
-Baby, let it go.
-Yes, and this food is
really hitting the spot.
I'll have to
work it off tomorrow
with the Electric Slide.
Let's have fun.
To the left, to the left,
to the right, to the right.
Actually, Jason
and I told the DJ
not to encourage
the slide, you know,
so I don't want you
to look forward to that.
Y'all don't do
the Electric Slide?
What y'all do,
the Riverdance or something?
No, Willie Earl. It's
just so cliche, you know.
They do it at the end
of every black wedding,
and we just...
Well, it figures
that your kind
would think that way.
-Mom.
-Here we go.
"Your kind?"
I'm sorry,
I didn't realize that
the Electric Slide was
a cultural necessity.
Well, the Electric Slide
at a black wedding
is just like
jumping the broom.
-Yeah, right.
-You're gonna
jump the broom?
No.
-What?
-Namaste.
Remember anger management,
okay? Just calm down.
Jason, enough is enough.
You've got to jump the broom.
-Mom, we just...
-Mrs. Taylor,
Jason and I decided
we wanted everything
to be simple, elegant.
Ow!
Modern.
Would a Jewish couple
get married without
breaking the glass?
We're not Jewish.
I didn't say
you were Jewish.
The slaves were
not allowed to marry.
Jumping the broom
was the only way
that they could
show their union.
Now, we have done that
in this family for years.
It is a tradition.
It's gone on for generations.
And, as you say,
it is a cultural necessity.
Look, Harriet Tubman,
Kunta Kinte ain't
sitting at the table,
and, you know,
this ain't a black history
moment, Pam.
Well, why should they
have to jump over a broom?
My family weren't slaves.
Are you so sure of that?
Yes. As a matter of fact,
they owned slaves.
-Ooh!
-What?
-Mom, don't say that.
-[all murmuring]
And you're proud of that?
No, no, I'm neither
proud nor ashamed.
It's just an immutable fact.
You know something,
you're crazier than
I thought you were.
Here's another fact, honey.
You need to get
off your high horse
and come on
back down to Earth,
'cause, baby, you black.
-That's right.
-Okay? You're black.
-Oh! You black.
-No, you don't come
into my house
and tell me what
I'm supposed to do.
[both speaking French]
No, they're not trying
to voulez-vous
coucher avec moi ce soir us.
I don't care what
they saying in French.
I know she talking about me.
Hey, come on, Pam.
Mrs. Taylor,
it's just that... Ow!
Did you just kick me
under the table twice?
Not in a row, baby.
Just relax.
Listen, everybody, calm down.
Calm down, calm down,
all right?
Now, listen,
if it is important
to Jason's family
to jump the broom,
would it be so difficult
to actually consider
jumping the broom?
-There.
-Thank you.
[both speaking French]
She said she gonna
hit you in the head
with a computer, I heard that.
[Geneva greets in French]
Good evening, good evening,
good evening. Ooh!
You look awesome this evening.
Oh, my baby, hi!
Can I... Yes.
Like we rehearsed.
[clears throat]
That's a short dress.
I'd like to sing a song
for Sabrina
and Jason's big day.
[exhales]
I heard it's been a long,
long six months. [laughs]
I don't know
how you two do it.
Wow. I know I couldn't do it.
[clears throat]

be interesting.

let's get down tonight

[all cheering]
I got her sexual
healing right here.
Hell, she gonna be the next
ex-Miss Willie Taylor.
[exclaiming]
I thought you would
at least look after me
once I got here.
How could you let those people
treat me like that?
Mom, there is blame
to be had on both sides.
Now, will you please
just give these people
a break?
-Give these people a break?
-Yes.
-Her family had slaves
and she's proud of it?
-That's not what she said.
Oh, now there's something
wrong with my hearing.
I know what she said.
And you know what,
you're gonna end up
being her slave for life.
[laughs]
So, now I'm a slave?
Boy, don't you get
dramatic with me.
Mom, I have a bachelor party
to go to, all right?
Go.
Hey, Willie Earl.
You on one tonight,
ain't you, sis?
That was wrong.
And what'd you
say that speech for?
It's "why did you
give that speech."
You're out here with
all these bougie folk.
You better not be
using that Ebonics.
No, I'm serious, Pam.
That was wrong
and it was foul
for going in there
and starting that fight
at their dinner
table like that.
If Jason don't
wanna jump the broom,
he don't have to
jump the broom.
Willie Earl, the only reason
I brought you up
here was to support me.
I told my brother
I was gonna
help raise his son.
I'm here to support Jason.
Well, it really
ain't your business.
It isn't none of my business.
Remember that? Bougie?
Let me tell you
something, Pam.
If you keep
fighting progress,
you gonna find yourself
on the wrong side of history.
-Whatever.
-And that's real talk.
Yeah, it's gonna
be whatever.
God don't like ugly, Pam.
He ain't too fond of cute.
I just think the best
gift you can give anyone
on their wedding
day is the truth.
-Have you completely
lost your mind?
-What?
You think of
no one but yourself.
And who are you thinking
about, Claudine, huh?
Are you thinking
about Sabrina?
Are you thinking
about what people will say
behind closed doors?
No, I could care less
what people think of me.
Oh, please!
I am always
thinking of Sabrina.
That's clear.
I was thinking of Sabrina
when she went to kindergarten
and when she went to college.
I could write you a whole list
if you need me to, Geneva.
You want me to
throw you a parade, huh?
Petition you for sainthood?
You didn't do me any favors.
You did Mother a favor.
I didn't give you Sabrina.
Mother took her from me!
Well, what would you have done
with her, Geneva?
Pack her in a suitcase
every time you felt
like flying off
to a new adventure?
What, get pregnant again?
Well, at least
I could get pregnant.
[exclaims]
If you come
anywhere near my daughter
this weekend with any
of your foolishness,
you will regret it
for the rest of your life.
Yes, Malcolm, it was
nice to meet you, too.
Hold it, hold on.
Okay, don't be too hasty.
I usually don't talk
to dark-skinned girls,
but I'm making
an exception for you.
So, how about we...
You don't like handcuffs?
[Sabrina] That is not
the same thing, Jason.
-Rude, ghetto, same thing.
-No, it's not.
Look, look,
at the end of the day,
I honestly don't care
if we jump the broom
or not, Sabrina.
You don't care
and I don't want to,
so why do it?
-Because it would
make her happy.
-[exhales]
Look, this woman sacrificed
everything for me.
And, quite frankly,
if it wasn't for my mother,
I wouldn't be
the man you wanna marry.
If it wasn't
for your mother,
I wouldn't be
questioning if you're
the man I wanna marry.
So, you're
questioning marrying me now
because of my mother?
She's disrespecting my family
and she's treating
you like a child.
You're letting her talk
to me any kind of way.
A husband is supposed
to defend his wife, remember?
Leave to cleave?
-Look, Sabrina, she's
always gonna be my mother.
-I know.
But you are not my wife yet.
You're right. I'm not.
Which makes it so much easier
to walk away from you, Jason.
Look, I didn't...
What are you saying?
I'm saying
you're a mama's boy.
Does she know you're
out right now, huh?
Do you need to text her?
Do you need to check in?
Do you have a curfew?
Are you allowed to be
out past 12:00?
This is ridiculous.
Whoo. I need a drink.
And not one that's
thrown on me, either.
It's a $200 jacket, man.
Can I holler
at you for a minute?
Do I have a choice, Malcolm?
Look, I've known
you your entire life,
all right?
You messing up.
Your mama mad at you.
From the look of things,
your girl pretty mad at you.
You rushing in,
marrying this girl.
You don't know her.
I get it, she's rich,
her family's rich.
It's the come-up.
But do you wanna be
one of those guys?
What kind of guys
are you talking about?
One of them guys.
The kind of guy
that'll do any and everything
to get where they wanna be.
It's all falling apart
right before your eyes.
You know why?
You going about it
for the wrong reasons.
[laughs]
That's what this is
all about, isn't it?
What?
You're just mad because
Ricky and not you is
my best man, right?
-Nope.
-Tell the truth.
You know what?
Yeah, I'm upset. I am.
I'm your cousin and
I'm your best friend,
but I ain't good enough
to be your best man, huh?
That's what you
basically telling me.
You'd be the best man
at my wedding. Whassup?
Okay. You wanna talk,
let's talk.
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's talk.
You are my cousin,
but the whole
best friend thing?
Come on, Malcolm.
Who are you fooling?
We haven't been best friends
for, what, two, three years?
Right around
the time I bought my house.
I have a housewarming,
you don't show up.
I got promoted
to vice president.
The entire block shows up.
Eddie, Casual Mike,
even Dave comes.
Did you come? No.
Because you don't like
hanging around white people?
Hey, man.
Whenever I'm
around white people,
-you know I get arrested.
-This isn't funny, Malcolm.
The only time you don't
have something negative
to say about my success
is when you're on the phone
asking me for money.
Exactly.
So, the answer to this
big question you have
in your head, no.
Money did not change me.
It changed you.
Thanks for the advice,
but, frankly, I don't need it.
You're welcome.
The hell money changed me.
I ain't got none.
Explain that.
[playing slowly]
I've been looking
all over for you.
Here I am.
Thought you said
you were coming to bed.
Things change. Don't they?
Yeah.
Yeah, they do.
-Claudine?
-Mmm.
You don't have to say it.
The late nights,
the incessant phone calls.
The way you looked
at that tramp of yours
all night long.
You think I'm
having an affair?
Please. Let's not do this.
I'm not having an affair,
Claudine.
We're broke.
Broke?
Yes, broke.
This is not
the moment for a joke.
Claude, I am not joking.
Oh, my God, Gregg.
How is that even possible?
With the credit freeze,
we didn't have
enough cash up-front,
so we had to sell off
assets at a loss.
It's complicated.
Basically, I think we were
a little too aggressive.
We?
We were too aggressive?
All right,
I was too aggressive.
You didn't seem to
complain all those years
you lived off my
aggressive investments.
Do not confuse your love
for the finer things
in life with my values.
Unlike you,
I could afford them.
Unlike you, I worked for them!
What exactly is broke?
Most of our retirement fund's
been wiped out.
We can barely
afford this wedding,
let alone
the kids' honeymoon.
All we have left
is this house.
Honestly, Gregory,
an affair might have
been easier to swallow.
And just so I'm clear,
are you saying
that all my family's
money is gone?
That's what I'm saying.
Well, if the sofa
hasn't been repossessed,
please find
yourself on it tonight.
[snorts]
No, absolutely not.
I am not doing this again.
Claude, I'm not
playing this game with you.
I'm gonna have some
leftover vichyssoise
and I am gonna
pour myself a Scotch.
Then I'm gonna go
up to our bedroom,
get into our bed,
go to sleep, and snore.
Whether you're there or not.
Hey, girl!
This water feels
so good. Whoo!
I haven't been
swimming in so long.
Mmm.
[shrieks]
You crazy.
Get out of that water, girl.
You know,
I knew something wasn't right
about this family.
All the money
and the big houses
and them weird accents.
Yeah, but you know what, Pam?
That ain't got
nothing to do with it
'cause, you know,
you didn't wanna
like 'em from the get.
Honey, that's because
I can tell a fake a mile away.
And I'll tell you this.
Now that I know
what's going on,
-I don't want Jason
mixed up in this mess.
-Okay.
Talking about
sending him to China.
Do they even let
black folk in China?
You know what, Pam,
I've known Jason
his whole life,
and the boy has
never been happier,
so leave him alone!
That's exactly my point.
He can stay in the US
of A and stay happy.
Uh-uh. No. I'll break this
wedding up if I have to,
-I tell you that.
-You know what,
just stop that.
What?
Just 'cause you got
that young boy rubbing
on your old ashy legs,
you ain't gotta act out.
Yeah, well, that's
one way to go.
And if you had somebody
rubbing up your
little ashy leg,
maybe you would stop
getting into
everybody else's business
because you'd have
some of your own.
I tell you this,
you about two days
from being a pedophile.
[both laugh]
-He is young, ain't he?
But he fine.
-Girl.
-Let's brush you.
-How old is
that boy anyway?
-Twenty.
-Cougar, cougar,
cougar, cougar.
You so crazy.
-Ooh, girl, you ought to be
ashamed of yourself.
-Hush up.
Don't be mad
'cause you keep trying
to get your man
So, this is what happens
at a bachelor party?
No, this is what
happens at a funeral.
At a bachelor party,
there's a lot of alcohol,
and we drunk by now,
with some lady
named Cinnamon Bun
dancing on our lap,
like strippers,
like they're bouncing.
Yeah, that's what happens
at a traditional
bachelor party.
I don't know
what happened here.
Ready?
So, you're not
angry anymore?
I wanna go
and they don't.
I'm not really
ready to leave either.
But I wanna go home.
We have a big day tomorrow.
Babe, I'm in the middle
of a conversation right now.
For you to ask me to
just walk out on it,
it's kind of rude.
-Rude?
-I didn't say ghetto.
Hey, hey, hey, guys.
It's not that serious.
Jay, we can just call it, man.
I can't believe
you're doing this
in front of everybody.
Look, babe, I called my mom,
and she said I can
stay out as late
as I want tonight,
so, don't be a brat.
A brat?
Fine. Have fun
with your friends.
Hey! "Brat"? Come on,
man, you from Brooklyn.
"Brat" is the only B word
you could think of right now?
Jay, you don't wanna do this.
You know you're gonna
get in some trouble.
Shut up.
Look at your shirt.
Look, you did
the right thing, Jay.
You're supposed to
put your foot down
when women act like that.
Put 'em in their place, man.
And you are giving
the wrong idea to this
young buck right here.
Whoa, whoa. Malcolm.
What do you know
about a woman?
-Whoo.
-Now, let's be real.
You know, I don't understand
why y'all are
chasing these young girls.
You know, me, myself,
I prefer a more
seasoned woman.
Someone with
a little experience, mature.
You know, you gotta
grow up and leave
the childish games behind you.
Yeah, you're 12,
so I don't wanna hear
nothing you got to say.
Okay, first of all,
neither one of
you guys understand.
All right, this man's
about to get married.
"You don't...
Neither one of you guys..."
Jason, forget all this.
You need to go get Sabrina
and squash all this.
I'm serious.
Jason, don't listen to nobody
that say words like "squash,"
all right?
"Squash all this."
We don't talk like that.
We from the hood, man.
You don't even know Sabrina.
I know Sabrina.
And I know Jason.
Jason, go get your girl, man.
Jason, get your manhood.
-Another round.
-[whoops]
And that's how you do it.
Yes! This is turning
into a bachelor party.
Now you gonna have some fun.
Ladies, please! Ladies!
Not... Not you.
I'd hate to be you in a hour.
Sebastian, I got this
all under control.
Sabrina!
Sabri...
[softly] Sabrina!
God, you taste good.
So do you.
-You wanna taste
something good?
-Mmm-hmm.
It's sweet,
but there's a little
spice in it as well.
Sort of like you.
-Mmm.
-It's good, right?
Mmm-hmm.
Burning.
-Burning.
-Mmm-hmm.
Burning, yeah.
-No, no, no,
it's burning, it's burning.
-Oh!
[smoke detector blaring]
My sauce.
-Oh, my God!
-[both gasp]
What the...
Is everybody okay?
I was just making some sauce.
My helper.
Listen, everything's
under control.
The alarm should
go off in a minute.
This in no way impedes
my ability to do my job.
I want you to know that.
So, as you were.
Babe.
Sabrina. Sabrina.
I mean,
I know you ain't got
your private parts out
around all this
good food, do you?
And second of all,
do you have any
kind of relationship
with some Vaseline
lotion or anything?
Your knees look
like you been praying
in some chicken flour.
Sabrina, please,
just let me... Whoa!
Sabrina, let me in.
Come on, open up, Sabrina.
I just wanna talk to you.
Okay, fine, I'll wait
all night, if I have to.
I love you, too.
Jason? Are we
getting married too fast?
You're not having
second thoughts,
are you, babe?
No, I'm just... I'm asking.
Did we rush into this
because of China?
Baby, open the door.
I wanna look at you.
I can't. You're not
supposed to see the bride
before the wedding.
Right.
No, babe, we're not
rushing into anything.
I knew from
the first day we went out
that I'd spend
the rest of my life with you.
You're my heart, Sabrina.
You're my heart, too.
-Jason, let's not
do this again, okay?
-All right.
Let's not let
other people get
in between the two of us.
Pinky swear?
Pinky swear.

[Claudine] Sabrina, get up!
I'm awake.
Morning.
Morning.
I wanted to give you this
before everything gets
hectic today.
What's this?
Oh, this was Grand-Mere's.
And her Grand-Mere's.
Something old.
It's lovely, Mom. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you for everything.
Sweetheart, we love Jason.
But are you sure about this?
How can you ask me that?
Are you trying to
ruin my wedding day?
No.
I've never stood in
the way of your dreams,
but what kind of mother would
I be if I didn't ask?
Sabrina, marriage is serious.
It's for life. Are you ready?
Yes.
Are you and Dad
getting a divorce?
Now, why would you
ask me that?
[speaking French]
[sighs]
I was wrong.
Your father's not
having an affair.
Mom, I see the way
you guys treat each other.
You don't look at
each other anymore
when you talk.
-You don't even
touch each other.
-We're not getting a divorce.
The vows say for
better or for worse,
and even though
we're pretty close,
we're not at our worse.
No matter what,
I'm still committed
to your father
and I still love him.
-No matter what happens?
-No matter what.
I want that with Jason, Mom.
I want that for you, too.
I'll tell you
something that Mabel told me
the day I got married.
Life is like a disco.
No matter how
the music changes,
you just keep dancing.
That sounds like Mabel.
[sighs] Mom.
I can't lie to you.
I'm nervous.
Oh, sweetheart.
-This is gonna be
a great day, right?
-Mmm-hmm.
It is.
-Jason, you know I love you
and I want the best for you.
-I know, Mama, I know.
Well, what is done
in the dark must
come to light.
Mama, Mama, listen.
What's wrong?
You should be happy.
You're one step closer
to getting those grandkids
you've been wanting.
Jason, I need to tell
you something and I feel
that now is the...
Good morning, Pam.
Jason, you ready?
I'm ready, I'm ready.
Mama, smile. Okay?
Smile. Hold that thought!
Jason, I need
to talk to you!
Yes, yes, yes,
I want some of that, that.
Excuse me.
Wait, why do you
keep leaving?
'Cause I'm not
trying to go to prison.
I see you got jokes.
Boy, do you know I could snap
your little butt in two
with all these curves?
You promise?
Okay, so now
you got jokes.
Look, I may have
the body of a 20-year-old,
but I have the heart,
the mind, and the soul
of a grown man.
That doesn't change the date
on your birth certificate.
Well, I'm sorry
you feel that way.
Oh, help me, Jesus.
That boy is fine.
If there is any
Geneva drama today,
I will unleash
a world of hurt.
[speaks French]
What a surprise.
You speak French?
[speaks Spanish]
That's Spanish.
[speaks French]
I'm not a fool.
And I'm not a scientist.
But I do know some things.
[speaks French]
What are you doing
way over there?
Hey.
Don't you look
sweet enough to eat.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
I thought you wanted this.
I did. I did.
Well, I thought I did.
I don't know.
Maybe it's
because my best friend
-is getting married today,
and I'm not.
-Oh.
You know, it's...
You're not the kind
of guy I'm used to.
What are you
still doing here?
I don't know.
But I need to know.
What do you think of me?
What do I think of you?
You're like a pomegranate.
Like a piece of fruit?
You have this hard,
protective shell.
You know,
the jewelry, the clothes.
The sharp tongue.
But underneath that shell,
you're real sweet.
A real beauty inside.
You see all that?
Yes, I do.
I'd love to
tell you more.
But first, I have
a date with some chicken.
-Yeah.
-See you later?
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
So, you went crawling
back like a little girl, huh?
Is that what you did?
You had to go back
for that money?
Mr. Watson with the ball,
quarterbacking.
He's got a half-gray,
half-black Jheri curl.
A-one.
Maybe you should get
two wedding dresses made.
Two girls getting married.
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
[Willie Earl] Throw
the ball, baby!
[Jason] What the...
-Hey, man!
-What the hell was that?
It's touch football,
pretty boy.
-You call that touch?
-Yeah, I touched you,
didn't I?
Come on, Malcolm,
take off that halter top
so we can see your belly ring!
Looking like
America's Next Top Model!
Roses right this way.
Thank you again for doing this
at the 11th hour,
Reverend James.
It means the world to us.
Yes. See you then.
Thank you.
Anything I can do?
Mrs. Watson, we have
a problem in the kitchen.
Yes. Stay out of my way.
Really.
It looks beautiful.
Thank you so much
for wearing the dress.
Here, this is for the wedding.
I hope you like gardenias.
[chuckles nervously]
Of course,
you don't have to wear it
if you don't want to.
Listen, Mrs. Taylor,
I really want to
apologize about last night.
Nobody meant any harm and...
Well, it's your wedding.
It's stressful
and I understand.
Thank you.
And I know you want
us to jump the broom,
but Jason and I wanna
start our own traditions,
so we're probably
not gonna do it.
I'm out of pins.
I'll be right back.
Do not move.
Thank you, Mabel.
Looks lovely.
So nice to finally
meet you and your family.
Thank you.
Well, I'm gonna go get
ready for the big day.
Your Aunt Geneva,
I really enjoyed her singing.
She's something else, huh?
Well, that's my auntie.
Yeah, and your mother,
she was pretty upset
about her doing that, huh?
What do you mean?
Well, I saw them later,
last night, arguing.
Oh, it was pretty heated.
Well, I'm sure
it was no big deal.
I mean, every family
has their issues, so...
You're right.
Every family has their issues.
And secrets.
Sabrina! Sabrina,
come quick. Jason's hurt.
Jason? Wait, don't go!
Jason? Jason, are you okay?
-Oh, my goodness!
-I'm fine, babe.
Who hurt my baby?
-What happened?
-Just...
[panting]
Who hurt my baby?
He all right.
My fault, Auntie P.
He was running.
You know, he ain't
been working out lately.
[scoffs]
Oh, Jason.
Honey, I'm gonna
have to take you home.
Home? Where, to Brooklyn?
Yes, to Brooklyn!
I can call your
pediatrician, Dr. Hunter.
Pediatrician,
are you serious?
Pam, this grown man
don't need no pediatric...
Ain't nobody
said pediatrician!
Mom, I'm fine.
-Yeah, you going overboard.
-Willie Earl, ain't
nobody asked you nothing.
-[Ricky] Okay?
-[Pam] Come on,
let me help you.
[Jason] Thanks, babe.
Jason, what time
is the ferry?
He's gonna be fine.
We're just gonna get
him some ice, okay?
Now, you wait just one minute,
Miss Johnny-come-lately.
You haven't known
my son over six,
what, seven months?
And who the hell
you think you are
to know what's best
for him over his mother?
You know what?
I spent the last two days
listening to you
disrespect Jason,
me, my family...
Your family? [scoffs]
You think your family
is so perfect?
Honey, you don't even know
who your parents are.
[laughs] What are you
talking about?
Ask your daddy who
your real father is.
Mrs. Taylor!
You are way out of line.
Dad, I mean, she's crazy.
Dad?
-What...
-Honey, it's complicated.
No, it's not complicated.
Either you are
or aren't my father.
We should talk
to your mother.
Fine, let's go.
Sabrina.
Yeah, go talk
to your mama!
Really, Mom?
Keep chopping.
I need that whole bowl.
We are going to have to
polish every one
of these glasses, Mabel.
Look at this!
Sabrina's getting
married in three hours,
and look at me!
[laughs]
Sorry. Look at you.
Great.
-What's wrong?
-Is there something
you need to tell me?
[Claudine] Tell you?
Tell you what?
-Why are you so upset?
-We should discuss
this in private.
No, Dad, there's
no more private here.
Somebody's gonna
tell me the truth.
Mom?
Mom, tell me that
this lady's crazy
and that she's making this up.
Tell me the truth.
Are you two my parents?
Sabrina, honey,
listen. Um...
I was 16.
Honey, your parents were...
Honey, they were
already married, you know?
It just made sense
for them to take you.
Sweetheart.
From the moment I saw you,
you were mine.
And every moment
that we spent together,
you became a part of me.
I didn't wanna lose you.
No, don't...
Happy now?
-The wedding's off.
-What?
You let this happen.
Sabrina...
[Sabrina slams door]
Sabrina, hold on!
Sabrina, wait,
let's talk about this!
Sabrina, wait!
I'm gonna take care of this!
Come on, baby, please! Talk...
Sabrina! Sabrina!
-What was that?
-It was the truth.
I prayed on it.
Somebody had to tell her.
You prayed on it.
And God told you
to do this?
To destroy a family
and ruin Sabrina's life?
I was protecting you!
Protecting me
from what, Mom? I'm not
a 10-year-old boy anymore!
-That's still
your mama, now...
-I got this!
No, no, no, no,
you watch your tone.
You realize who
you're talking to.
Mom, what is it
that you want from me?
You want love?
I'll give it to you.
-You want respect?
I give you that, too.
-Respect?
Well, you haven't
given me very much of that
this weekend.
How? Because
the shrimp was cold
or your pies didn't
make it on the menu?
Or because Sabrina
just doesn't wanna
jump the broom?
It's her wedding,
not yours.
Listen, you and
that little girl
have been dating
for six months.
She thinks she's too good
to come across the bridge,
-say hello to me?
-No, she doesn't.
No, she doesn't.
I wouldn't let her.
-You?
-Yes.
Can you understand
why now?
Look at what you've done.
Mom, every single woman
that I've let in my life,
you've driven 'em away
with your manipulations.
And I actually thought
Sabrina would be
a little different.
But, no. You win.
-Jason...
-No, Mom, no.
You treat me like
I'm either a little boy
or your husband.
And I'm neither.
I am a man
and I am your son.
And I promised you
that I will always
be here for you.
And that hasn't changed.
That hasn't.
But you have got to change.
You've got to change, Mom.
Excuse me.
Show's over.
Go about your business.
What was that?
-I didn't mean to say it.
-Yes, you did.
-I did not!
It just slipped out!
-It slipped out?
You know you've been trying
to break up this marriage
ever since the beginning,
you know that?
-I feel terrible about this!
-You ought to feel
terrible about this, Pam!
You know, it's real
funny how people like
to apologize after
they do something bad.
It's real funny.
I see you sitting
there with your Bible.
You praying.
Trying to make up with God?
If you wanna pray
on something, Pam,
you better pray that
Jason get that girl back.
Pray on that.
And fix your wig
on your head.
Sabrina, it's me.
Please tell us where you are.
We got your back, girl.
Just call, tell us what to do.
Sabrina.
Ricky,
I'm gonna go to the cliffs,
if you could go to the swings.
-And, Sebastian,
you check State Beach.
-Got it.
Jason, where should we look?
Thank you, Shonda.
She could come with me.
Sebastian, didn't I
tell you that I wasn't
trying to go to prison?
Look, woman, this isn't
about you and me.
This is about
Jason and Sabrina,
so get in the car and
help me find Sabrina.
Well, all right.
Look here.
You chasing now?
Sell out your whole family
for this uppity chick?
This is not
the time for this.
What's the rush?
Ain't nobody the best man now.
Ooh!
The guests will be
arriving in an hour.
Should we start
making the calls?
No. Not yet.
You know, when Daddy died,
I felt alone.
Like anything that went wrong,
it was up to me to fix.
Well, I can't fix this.
I need you.
I need your help, God.
All I ask is that you
bring her back to me.
That's all I ask.
Sabrina?
Thank you for calling me.
Don't thank me just yet.
I know you just think
we're just all horrible.
And this may sound crazy,
but, cherie,
we didn't tell you
because we love you.
It does sound crazy.
How could you lie to me?
What kind of woman
just leaves her child
for someone else to raise?
I wasn't a woman.
I was a child.
Your Grand-Mere knew that.
But look at you, Sabrina.
You are beautiful.
God, you're smart.
You're everything
I would've ever
wanted you to be.
But I wouldn't have
been able to give you
what Claudine gave you.
And I gave her
hell about it, too.
[stammering]
And what about my father?
I, um, took this
summer trip to France
and I met this gorgeous man.
We spent two weeks together
and we fell
deliriously in love.
I mean, we planned
to travel the world.
And then he told me
about his wife and kids.
I returned to the States
unmarried and pregnant.
So, they just cleaned
up your mess, huh?
Mom and Dad,
they just took me.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes.
Yes.
Sabrina, having you
was the greatest
achievement of my life.
And not caring
for you every day
was my greatest failure.
Don't let all this keep you
from your blessing.
You have a good man
who's looking for you.
You okay, baby?
I am so sorry.
You were right.
And I promise you
this will never happen again.
I spoke to my mom.
And if you just, please,
just give me another chance,
I promise...
Jason, no. I can't.
We can't.
Your mother
ruined our wedding.
You're not the man
I thought you were.
-Baby.
-And you didn't protect me,
-you didn't defend me.
-Sabrina...
Everything has changed.
My life has changed!
Sabrina?
Breathe.
Just breathe, baby.
Jason,
it's too messy now.
I don't know who I am.
How can I marry you?
Sabrina, you remember
when you told me
that details are
what make the person?
Well, here are some details.
Sabrina, you're an optimist.
Whenever anyone's
having a bad day,
all you have to do is smile
and you bring
them right back up.
And you taught me the value
of protecting our love.
And I know it was
hard for you,
but you kept
your vow to God.
Baby, that's who
I fell in love with.
That's who you are.
That's who I love.
And, yeah, I know it's a mess,
but you know what, baby?
It's our mess.
Ours.
You left out one
important detail.
What, babe?
I love you.
♪ I belong to you
♪ There's nothing I can do
but love you
I love you, too.
Okay.
Will you please never
take this off again?
Pinky swear.
I hope our honeymoon's
better than this.
Oh, I promise you.

[Pam] Dear Sabrina, I'm sorry.
I feel sick about how
I behaved this weekend.
I was afraid of being alone.
I want you to have this broom
because it means more to me
than almost
anything else in the world,
and I pray you and Jason
have a long and
happy life together.
Pam.
Lord, give me strength.
Sabrina?
She's on the run again!
-What now? Please.
-Sabrina!
Sabrina!
Wait, wait!
-Where is she going?
-Wait!
Mrs. Taylor!
Sabrina?
Don't go, don't go!
-My goodness!
-Got your note.
Jason and I need
you to be here, okay?
Oh, honey.
All right? Come on.
Don't be silly now.
-Look at you!
You look beautiful.
-Yeah?
-I wanna be here, too.
-Good.
-Here, let me
get your gown.
-Oh, thank you.
Sir, bring my bags!
Bring my bags!
Come on.
[playing classical music]
-Love you, sweetie.
-I love you, too.
Jason.
Please be seated.
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
[all] We do.
Sabrina,
you've given me the clarity,
the strength,
and the wisdom
to be a better man.
Jason, you make me happier
than anyone ever has.
I don't wanna live
life unless you're in it.
You're my man.
-I love you.
-I love you.
Sabrina, Jason,
by the powers invested in me,
I pronounce you
husband and wife.
You may salute your bride.
Come on.
Oh...
I taught him how to kiss,
you know what I'm saying.
Ladies and gentlemen...
Ladies and gentlemen,
brothers and sisters,
may I present to you...
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
Amy, come here.
There.
Oh!
[mouthing] Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
brothers and sisters,
I present to you
Mr. and Mrs.
Jason Edgar Taylor.
[all cheering]
So, are you on Facebook?
No.
-Twitter?
-Nope.
Can I at least text you?
Sebastian,
you're such a great guy,
but we're just in
two different places
in our lives, and...
Did Sebastian just...
Not your business,
not your business.
[sighs]
You know, not a lot of men
would've raised
someone else's daughter.
Not a lot of men
were lucky enough
to marry you.
You still feel lucky?
You know I feel lucky.
-This feels like
the last hurrah.
-Mmm.
So, we'll go
to China on miles.
I am gonna miss
the Four Seasons.
Well, I do have
a rainy-day fund
for special occasions.
You kept it hidden from me?
Not all secrets are bad.
You
are smart.
And beautiful.
-So, how much?
-Ah...
Wouldn't you like to know?
Yeah, I would.
Maybe I'll invest it.
[Willie Earl] Excuse me!
Hear ye, hear ye!
I'd like
everybody's attention.
Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'd like to say one thing.
I'd like to send
a congratulations out
to the bride and groom,
the beautiful Miss Sabrina.
And, Jason,
I'm proud of you, nephew.
-And I know your father
would be, too, man.
-Thanks, Willie Earl.
You deserve this happiness.
This time right here
is a beautiful time
for alls of us
to come together
and be a family in one.
That's right, and you know
what a family does
when we get together.
We party.
Now, I know,
Sabrina, you didn't want me
to do the Electric Slide.
But I can do
the Cupid Shuffle.
Y'all wanna help me
do the Cupid Shuffle?
Come on, Sabrina, please,
can we do the Cupid Shuffle?
Come on, I know
how to do the Cupid Shuffle.
Come on, let's do it!
-Come on! Hannah Montana! Akon!
-[dance music playing]
All you ladies with
them tight shoes on,
come on up out of them shoes.
We seen 'em already.
Come on, baby girl!
Get you a white girl!
Get you a black man!
Come on and dance with me.
["Cupid Shuffle" playing]
One, two, three, four!
What is this dance?
Oh, it's the Cupid Shuffle.
What's that?
It's like the Hokey Pokey
for black people.
I get that.
-Do you wanna do it?
-Do it?
-The dance?
-Oh, the... Yeah.
-With me?
-Sure.
Amy.
Malcolm.
Thanks.
Swerve it like you mean it!
Whoa, oh!
