Living Single (1993–1998): Season 4, Episode 24 - Never Can Say Goodbye - full transcript
You're absolutely right.
All my baby birds
have left the nest.
Synclaire is your
only baby bird.
May I have my moment, please?
Having successfully covered
the ugly blemish on her face
the maid of honor
returns to the party
where she'll, no doubt
offer some words of wisdom.
If you're looking for Max,
you'll find her in the closet
with a busted up
camcorder next to her.
Maxine, what a
thoughtful wedding gift.
Endless hours of rambling
footage punctuated
by grating commentary.
Watch it or I'll shoot you
from an unflattering angle.
Meaning, I'll work
your face into this shot.
Excuse me, uh,
Madam Videographer
but maybe my baby sister
might wanna say a few
words to the soon‐to‐be‐wed.
‐ Hook her up. ‐ Oh!
Alright, come on, girl,
we're burning tape.
Okay, okay, okay.
Congratulations, Overton.
Even though I know when
mom gets here tomorrow
she'll probably start
in on her chorus of.
"It's you turn now, Olivia.
Time to find a man
before your eggs dry up."
Whoo!
Alrighty, everybody.
It's 24 hours until
the ceremony.
That means, it's time for
you two to say bye‐bye
until you exchange vows.
So, when we see
each other at the alter
it'll be like we're
meeting for the first time
and, and thinkin'
"Man, this is moving fast."
Well, Sweet Pea
time for your last kiss
as a unmarried woman.
Okay.
Oh, when you're 50 years old
and too weak to pucker,
you'll thank me for this.
Come on. Get in there.
Slip her the tongue.
Slip her the tongue.

‐ You want to see? ‐ Sure.
Let me see what you got.
Two kings and a three women.
Hush. That's what
I'm talking about.
I gotta say, Overton,
you're pretty sturdy for a guy
who's about to walk
the plank tomorrow.
Yeah, that's 'cause I
got a life preserver of love
called Synclaire, thanks to you.
You know what, I
sure hope your wedding
turns out better than mine.
See, the bachelor party
was the night before.
Bourbon and
barbecue till sun up.
I must've had too much of both
'cause 30 seconds
after I kissed the bride
I was hugging the commode.
Uh, uh, how about a hot leg?
Uh, no, after that
picture you just painted
I'll have a sip of
water. Thanks.
That's the thing about weddings.
Something always goes wrong.
‐ Always? ‐ Oh, yeah.
My best man lost the ring.
To this day, Lilah
still hasn't forgiven me
for slipping my wayward nephew's
nipple ring around her finger.
Ouch.
Look, I'm gonna go.
See, 'cause the hot tub
at the hotel close at 9:00.
I want to get in a
couple of more hours
of smokin' and soakin'.
I'm gonna take these legs.
‐ Okay? ‐ 'Okay, okay.'
I'm right behind you.
Lilah wants to go sightseeing
which, roughly translated,
means, Bloomingdales.
'Okay. See you tomorrow, dad.'
Well, Kyle..
My last night as a
resident of this here loft.
I'm just glad Synclaire
and I found a little love nest
right here in the
building, though.
You know, Overton,
man, I really envy you.
I mean, you're about to
start a lifelong relationship
with a woman who
really loves you.
Whereas I am stuck
in a twisted relationship
with the devil's half‐sister.
Yeah, but you keep on eating
in hell's kitchen
though, don't you?
You know, I just wish
Max was mature enough
to accept a real
relationship, you know?
I take it she wasn't
phased when you told her
about your job offer
in London, huh?
‐ I didn't tell her. ‐ What?
Well, man, every
time I came close
I just pictured her staring
at me with those bullet eyes
saying, "So, the freak what?"
Hey, as long as you two
have known each other
she's got to develop some
kind of feelings for you.
Hell, even a grizzly bear
can be taught to cuddle.
Yeah, man, maybe you're right.
I'll tell her about
London tonight.
Hell, what have I got to lose?
I already lost my dignity
the first time I slept with her.

Thank you.
‐ Alright. Alright! ‐ Thank you.
I'm gonna miss this room.
All the laughter
that was laughed.
All the dreams that were dreamt.
The toe‐curling sex with Obie.
I just can't believe
that Synclaire
is the first one to get married.
I always thought
it would be Regine.
Me, too.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the tears of a spinster.
I have done everything
to make myself eligible.
I've‐I've read every book.
I've‐I've‐I've kept
myself looking..
Look at me.
‐ Oh, my. ‐ Oh!
‐ Hey, watch it. ‐ Oh, oh!
‐ Hey, now. ‐ Alright, okay.
What am I doing wrong?
What about Russell?
Well, he certainly has
a love Jones for you.
Be true.
Russell... is not
marriage material.
Unless I wanted my first son
to come out
hittin' on the nurse.
I can't think of a more
appropriate time to share this.
Marriage is for fools.
'A wise person once said'
"Men are good for two things.
Sperm and support."
Well, you can go
to a bank for sperm
and strap on a
bra for support, so..
Max, that is a bunch of crap.
Now, if you met the right man,
why wouldn't you make that move?
I don't see you jumpin' to
tie the knot with Charles.
Well, Charles and I are over.
Considering his schedule
the only way we'd ever
spend time together
is if I went in for
another operation.
Khadijah, he is a doctor.
If, if it means
getting you engaged
a little elective surgery
ain't such a bad thing.
Goodnight.
I'm happy for you, girl.
Ooh, I gotta go to the
corner for some beer.
Oh, Regine, I thought you left.
Oh!
Wait a minute.
There's plenty of beer
in the fridge, missy.
Not the kind I like.
I know what you're thirsty for.
A deep brown locker
with a full body
and a smokin' jacket.
Barker beer.
‐ You know about
this, too? ‐ Oh, please.
We all know about it. Please!
‐ Everybody except Regine. ‐ Mm.
Isn't that ironic?
Don't you think?
Admit it, Max.
You can't get the man
out of your system.
And don't tell me
it's just the sex.
You can call it
whatever you like.
It's not gonna end up at
the altar. You can freak that.
You can just freak it.
I'm going to get some air.

Come on, baby. Let's go.
Look, Max, let me
tell you somethin'.
No, come on, sing, sing.
‐ Max, Max.. ‐ You never sing..
‐ Max, Max, Max.
‐ Let's go sing.
There's something
I gotta tell you.
Look, um, my firm is
opening up offices in London
and they have asked
me to head 'em up.
‐ London? ‐ Yeah.
As in the land of
fish and chips, huh?
Yeah.
Um, I haven't given
them the answer yet.
I was kinda wondering
what you thought about it.
As a matter of fact, uh
an old law school
buddy from Philly
has asked me to be
a partner in her firm.
Max, is this another one of
your little petty mind games?
Get over yourself. You're not
the only hotshot on the block.
W‐wait, wait. C‐can we just
cut the charade for a minute, huh?
Damn, I mean,
I‐is our relationship
nothing but sex?
Well, granted, it's good sex
but, damn, nothin' but sex?
No.
We occasionally punctuate it
with boring
exchanges like this one.
So, that's all you
got to say, huh?
Good luck on your new job.
You, too.
I'm headed back to the church.
I got just enough time
to get a quick prayer in.
You're gonna say a prayer
for Synclaire and Obie?
Please, I got
bigger fish to fry.
I've realized with all of my
husband‐hunting this year..
Thanks.
I've overlooked my
strongest resource.
The almighty.
Yeah, God should be your
full‐time love connection.
Bump world peace and famine.
Hey, don't forget to put
some lotion on them legs.
Ah, hello, Maxine.
Cheerio, mate.
‐ What's that supposed
to mean? ‐ Nothin'.
Tally‐ho and all that rot.
Well, I'll be damned.
The maverick is
wounded by the news
of my departure to London.
The Brits are going to love you.
They're big on pomposity.
I'm gonna let you
have that last dig
as a goin'‐away present.
You give my regards to the
city of brotherly love, yeah?
Oh, I will.
Every single brother.
Heh‐heh, you and
Kyle pull an all‐nighter?
Nope, he was puffin'
about some job offer
he got in London,
so I fired back
that I was gonna go
work for my girl in Philly.
Hey, Max, why do
you treat this thing
with you and Kyle like a
game you have to win?
What if he's the one?
There is no one
for me, Khadijah.
That stuff for people like, uh.
Synclaire and Overton.
I, I am more evolved.
Yeah, well, I hope
you don't find yourself
a old woman in a
house full of cats
dialin' 911 for company.
Ooh, last time I'll
touch this bannister
as a single woman.
Last time I'll touch this
wall as a single woman.
Last time I'll see
you stare at me
with that confused
look as a single woman.
Last time I'll touch this
sofa as a single woman.
And now, he is ready
to meet his bride.
Or‐or his maker.
You have not eaten
anything in over 24 hours.
Don't you want a
candy bar or somethin'?
Oh, man, I‐I'll eat
when I get married.
I don't wanna kiss my new bride
with nougat between my teeth.
And about that ring.
I got it, Overton. Man, relax.
‐ I am relaxed. ‐ Mm..
‐ I'm the picture of
relaxation. ‐ Uh‐huh.
Hell, if I was any more relaxed
I'd probably just pass out.
Girl, I don't know
how I'm gonna do it.
Walking down the aisle in heels.
Draggin' that big old train.
Tryin' to see relatives
through all this gauze.
Oh.
Ooh, you're getting married.
Why you leavin' me with Regine?
‐ Oh. ‐ I'll miss you, boo.
Oh, oh, woo‐woo‐woo, boo.
Woo, woo, woo, boo.
I mean, no matter
how much we say
things won't change, they will.
You'll call less and less.
And then the letters will stop.
But, but I'll see you
when I come downstairs
from my apartment, right?
I guess.
Alright.
‐ Oh. ‐ Oh.
Bye, Synclaire James.
You feelin' any better, son?
Yeah, a little bit, rev.
Uh, look, I'm not gonna
get, uh, struck by lightning
and nothin' for scarfing down
these communion wafers, am I?
Don't you worry about that.
Uh, I haven't blessed them yet.
Well, in that case, can
I get a swig of wine?
There'll be plenty of time
for that after you're married.
‐ I'll see you at
the altar. ‐ Alright.
You're not nervous,
Overton, are you, man?
‐ Give me that. ‐
Yeah, I'm nervous, man.
My parents haven't showed up.
I‐I just passed out, and
I still ain't seen that ring.
Here, look. Satisfied?
Man, I hope I'm not this
jittery the day of my wedding.
Yeah, that's 'cause you'd
be too busy arguin' with Max
over who's gonna wear the tux.
‐ Max? ‐ Yeah.
I mean, tragic as it is, shorty
she's your destiny.
What have we here?
A brick house in the
house of the Lord.
Hey, Russell.
Have I ever thanked you for
that lunch we had the other day?
That was six months ago.
And I gave you the
chance to thank me properly
but you kept your clothes on.
Baby, don't run off like
that. I missed you crazy.
Regine, Tanya.
Tanya, Regine.
Charmed.
Ah, come on, Russell.
Let's see how our names
look together in the guest book.
A man can't wait
forever, Regine.
'Hey, girl.'
Aren't you the sorriest‐looking
fireplug on the street, girl?
You look tore up.
What's wrong with you?
Oh, you're pathetic,
you know that.
Phony concern from somebody
who only cries when we
run out of Miracle Whip.
I care.
And to prove it,
here's something
that's sure to cheer you up.
Kyle and I have been
seeing each other for months.
But it's over now
and you missed every
freaky‐sneaky detail.
Oh. And everybody knew, but you.
Alright, ladies, one minute.
‐ Oh, hi, Khadijah. ‐ Hey.
Uh, Max, can I talk
to you for a minute?
Alright..
Uh..
Look, after all
we've been through
it doesn't seem right to
end on such a sour note.
So I just wanted
to tell you that, uh
I really have
enjoyed knowing you.
Despite our numerous
psychotic episodes.
Knowing you hasn't been
entirely stomach‐turning.
Well, anyway, um, I have
decided to take that job in London.
‐ Onward and upward. ‐ Yeah.
So, um, if you ever feel like
legally driving on the
wrong side of the road
give me a call.
I love you.
Wh‐what?
Huh?
Come on, you guys! Come on.
We got 30 seconds. Let's go.
Hey, try and walk like a lady.
Go.
Max, stop it!
Excuse me. I just
can't stop staring at you.
Would you like to
have dinner sometime?
Desmond Howard?
Yep, I'm Overton's
cousin, Smoke Eye's son.
Oh. Oh, save me a
dance at the reception.
Oh, thank you.
You're good and you're fast.
Whoo. Okay.
Alright, boo, I'm goin' in.
Alright, you warm up
the crowd for me, okay?
Okay. Okay. Y'all watch my back.
Keep me company.
'Okay.'
Now, you make sure
you walk real slow, okay?
I know, you want
to savor the moment.
That, and I'm afraid of slippin'
on all those rose
petals out there.
I love you.
Oh, I love you, too, daddy.
Come on.
This is so beautiful.
Yes, it is.
Now, I gotta get Regine hitched
so she can get some
beans in that oven.
Okay.
Dearly beloved
this is indeed a glorious day.
Come on, shake a leg, Otis.
Our pumpkin's
about to tie the knot.
Odelle, I told you.
Travel by bus is
cost‐effective and timely.
Fine. You take the
bus back. I'm flying.
Two of God's children,
Overton and Synclaire
'are going to be joined as one.'
And now the maid
of honor and best man
will pay tribute to
our blessed couple
with a song written
by Brother Kyle.

Hey, don't forget to put
some lotion on them legs.
Ah, hello, Maxine.
Cheerio, mate.
‐ What's that supposed
to mean? ‐ Nothin'.
Tally‐ho and all that rot.
Well, I'll be damned.
The maverick is
wounded by the news
of my departure to London.
The Brits are going to love you.
They're big on pomposity.
I'm gonna let you
have that last dig
as a goin'‐away present.
You give my regards to the
city of brotherly love, yeah?
Oh, I will.
Every single brother.
Heh‐heh, you and
Kyle pull an all‐nighter?
Nope, he was puffin'
about some job offer
he got in London,
so I fired back
that I was gonna go
work for my girl in Philly.
Hey, Max, why do
you treat this thing
with you and Kyle like a
game you have to win?
What if he's the one?
There is no one
for me, Khadijah.
That stuff for people like, uh.
Synclaire and Overton.
I, I am more evolved.
Yeah, well, I hope
you don't find yourself
a old woman in a
house full of cats
dialin' 911 for company.
Ooh, last time I'll
touch this bannister
as a single woman.
Last time I'll touch this
wall as a single woman.
Last time I'll see
you stare at me
with that confused
look as a single woman.
Last time I'll touch this
sofa as a single woman.
And now, he is ready
to meet his bride.
Or‐or his maker.
You have not eaten
anything in over 24 hours.
Don't you want a
candy bar or somethin'?
Oh, man, I‐I'll eat
when I get married.
I don't wanna kiss my new bride
with nougat between my teeth.
And about that ring.
I got it, Overton. Man, relax.
‐ I am relaxed. ‐ Mm..
‐ I'm the picture of
relaxation. ‐ Uh‐huh.
Hell, if I was any more relaxed
I'd probably just pass out.
Girl, I don't know
how I'm gonna do it.
Walking down the aisle in heels.
Draggin' that big old train.
Tryin' to see relatives
through all this gauze.
Oh.
Ooh, you're getting married.
Why you leavin' me with Regine?
‐ Oh. ‐ I'll miss you, boo.
Oh, oh, woo‐woo‐woo, boo.
Woo, woo, woo, boo.
I mean, no matter
how much we say
things won't change, they will.
You'll call less and less.
And then the letters will stop.
But, but I'll see you
when I come downstairs
from my apartment, right?
I guess.
Alright.
‐ Oh. ‐ Oh.
Bye, Synclaire James.
You feelin' any better, son?
Yeah, a little bit, rev.
Uh, look, I'm not gonna
get, uh, struck by lightning
and nothin' for scarfing down
these communion wafers, am I?
Don't you worry about that.
Uh, I haven't blessed them yet.
Well, in that case, can
I get a swig of wine?
There'll be plenty of time
for that after you're married.
‐ I'll see you at
the altar. ‐ Alright.
You're not nervous,
Overton, are you, man?
‐ Give me that. ‐
Yeah, I'm nervous, man.
My parents haven't showed up.
I‐I just passed out, and
I still ain't seen that ring.
Here, look. Satisfied?
Man, I hope I'm not this
jittery the day of my wedding.
Yeah, that's 'cause you'd
be too busy arguin' with Max
over who's gonna wear the tux.
‐ Max? ‐ Yeah.
I mean, tragic as it is, shorty
she's your destiny.
What have we here?
A brick house in the
house of the Lord.
Hey, Russell.
Have I ever thanked you for
that lunch we had the other day?
That was six months ago.
And I gave you the
chance to thank me properly
but you kept your clothes on.
Baby, don't run off like
that. I missed you crazy.
Regine, Tanya.
Tanya, Regine.
Charmed.
Ah, come on, Russell.
Let's see how our names
look together in the guest book.
A man can't wait
forever, Regine.
'Hey, girl.'
Aren't you the sorriest‐looking
fireplug on the street, girl?
You look tore up.
What's wrong with you?
Oh, you're pathetic,
you know that.
Phony concern from somebody
who only cries when we
run out of Miracle Whip.
I care.
And to prove it,
here's something
that's sure to cheer you up.
Kyle and I have been
seeing each other for months.
But it's over now
and you missed every
freaky‐sneaky detail.
Oh. And everybody knew, but you.
Alright, ladies, one minute.
‐ Oh, hi, Khadijah. ‐ Hey.
Uh, Max, can I talk
to you for a minute?
Alright..
Uh..
Look, after all
we've been through
it doesn't seem right to
end on such a sour note.
So I just wanted
to tell you that, uh
I really have
enjoyed knowing you.
Despite our numerous
psychotic episodes.
Knowing you hasn't been
entirely stomach‐turning.
Well, anyway, um, I have
decided to take that job in London.
‐ Onward and upward. ‐ Yeah.
So, um, if you ever feel like
legally driving on the
wrong side of the road
give me a call.
I love you.
Wh‐what?
Huh?
Come on, you guys! Come on.
We got 30 seconds. Let's go.
Hey, try and walk like a lady.
Go.
Max, stop it!
Excuse me. I just
can't stop staring at you.
Would you like to
have dinner sometime?
Desmond Howard?
Yep, I'm Overton's
cousin, Smoke Eye's son.
Oh. Oh, save me a
dance at the reception.
Oh, thank you.
You're good and you're fast.
Whoo. Okay.
Alright, boo, I'm goin' in.
Alright, you warm up
the crowd for me, okay?
Okay. Okay. Y'all watch my back.
Keep me company.
'Okay.'
Now, you make sure
you walk real slow, okay?
I know, you want
to savor the moment.
That, and I'm afraid of slippin'
on all those rose
petals out there.
I love you.
Oh, I love you, too, daddy.
Come on.
This is so beautiful.
Yes, it is.
Now, I gotta get Regine hitched
so she can get some
beans in that oven.
Okay.
Dearly beloved
this is indeed a glorious day.
Come on, shake a leg, Otis.
Our pumpkin's
about to tie the knot.
Odelle, I told you.
Travel by bus is
cost‐effective and timely.
Fine. You take the
bus back. I'm flying.
Two of God's children,
Overton and Synclaire
'are going to be joined as one.'
And now the maid
of honor and best man
will pay tribute to
our blessed couple
with a song written
by Brother Kyle.

Whoo‐hoo!
