or unrealistic, but...

I know he's out there.

And I don't want to

wait any longer.

And you think you can

find him in 30 days?

Of course not!

Maybe?

Hey Sam.

- It actually worked.

- What worked?

Our plan.

He's flying from Los Angeles

to New York, connecting in Houston.

- Who?

- One of your exes.

Damon Diesel.

One second!

You've got to be kidding me.

Damon Diesel

could barely take care of himself,

much less a family.

Google him. He's produced three

number-one singles

in the last year.

And he's Essence?

"Bachelor of the Month".

He is looking for Mrs. Diesel.

Hey! I'm on the toilet!

Sam? I love you,

- but I'm not getting on that flight. Okay?

- Montana!

Oh, God, my mother

came over uninvited again.

I will jack you up!

I will jack you up hard!

I got to go.

Montana.

Honey, Mama's having a rough day.

All this planning for

your sister's wedding...

it's making me feel

like such a failure.

Mom, five marriages

doesn't make you a failure.

I wasn't talking about me.

I started thinking...

my youngest

daughter is marrying a wonderful...

handsome, athletic young man.

Yes, she is.

And I might not even be alive to

see my oldest do the same.

Anyway, we have to discuss your

sister's rehearsal dinner...

seeing you are a

maid of honor again.

I would love to talk about this,

but I have a flight to catch.

Why didn't you tell me

you had a flight to catch?

If you had called, I

would have told you.

Make sure you call me when you land.

I will call you whenever

I get to wherever I'm going.

- I love you.

- Yeah, I love you.

Sam? What's the flight number?

I fell in love again

and it happened in a minute

My eyes shot out like a fish out

of water and I'm jumpin' in it

Oh, don't get scared for me

Just be prepared for me

'Cause I'm in love with love in love

Taxi!

Taxi! Taxi!

William! William!

Sorry!

I have to get to the airport

fast... it's an emergency.

- Somebody's looking good.

- Yeah?

I almost didn't recognize you.

Some of us like to update our

image every decade or so.

This was the truck my father bought

before he started his business.

It's vintage.

I wasn't talking about the truck.

You want to get to the airport?

So what's the occasion?

Oh,

I'm meeting a friend in Houston,

then we're flying to New York.

Why fly all the way to Houston

to meet a friend

when New York is just an hour away?

He doesn't exactly know I'm meeting him.

It's a surprise.

Would this have anything to

do with Sheree's wedding?

It has nothing to do with it.

Okay, maybe it does. A little.

My parents were together

almost 40 years...

before my dad passed away.

He kept the same job.

Drove the same truck.

And stayed in love

with the same woman.

Every night at six, there was an

oven-cooked meal waiting for him.

The same one?

Poor woman.

You know, Mo...

the magic isn't

in getting married.

It's in the staying married.

Yeah.

William, I can't thank you enough.

Bye.

Wish me luck, okay?

I got my bag.

I know, I know.

- Your phone.

- I'm sorry. Bye.

Hey! Hey!

- Your earpiece.

- I'm sorry. You know me.

Okay, see you later!

- Thank you!

- Mo!

Mo! Your lipstick!

She's always forgetting something.

Cedric!

Nobody move! Back up! Nobody move!

Sorry. Excuse me, it's an emergency.

I have no life! Which gives

me all day to ruin yours!

Welcome aboard

TransAlliance flight 143.

Sam, I'm on the plane in a dress

I can barely breathe in.

But he's not here.

- Who?

- Damon Diesel. He's not on the flight.

He is.

No, he's not.

This is ridiculous.

I don't know how

you convinced me to do this,

but I'm leaving. I love you, bye.

I'd love to be the

stitches in that skirt.

Montana Moore.

Damon Diesel.

- Wassup?

- Wow. Not much.

You look great.

You're in first class?

That's the only way to ride.

Okay, I'll be sitting down.

Usually, I don't really

write about jewelry

It's foolery, But something

about the way you look on my arm

An arm on my neck

like you're my charm

So, so fresh when we

step out at midnight

Up to the spat we

chill and sit tight

How long are you in town?

Two or three days.

I have meetings and family to see.

How long are you in town?

Long enough.

Long enough for what?

Long enough for us to spend some

quality time, if I'm allowed.

You're allowed.

Great. Let's go.

Let's go.

After you.

I can't believe we

ran into each other. It's crazy.

I'm busy.

Damon Diesel.

What's up, baby?

Can I get you something to drink?

The usual.

A bottle of Chateau Margaux

'66, coming right up.

You should think way

larger than that.

- London, Dubai.

- Your check.

Thank you.

See you next time.

Damon, I should

probably get back to my hotel.

I have an early morning, and...

a girl does need

her beauty rest.

Real talk?

You could stay awake the rest of

your life and still be beautiful.

Thank you, Damon.

Being with you tonight...

you got a brother on

some till-death-do-we-part sh*t.

Don't laugh. Why are you laughing?

Damon. I've been

trying to reach you.

Janine, Montana. Montana, Janine.

Hi.

Janine and her

husband work with me at the label.

Can you call me when

you get a moment?

I want to wrap up a few things.

Have a good evening.

It was really nice

to meet you, Janine.

You, too.

Where were we?

To us.

So this is it.

Work hard, play hard, baby.

Clearly.

I want to show you something.

Check this out.

A little different

than the last time you saw me.

You think?

Hope you like it. Come on.

Okay, coming.

It's sexy, right?

Yeah. Wow.

Damon, you're doing big things.

I'm impressed.

I'm not getting in the hot tub.

You know you want to.

Maybe, but I'm not getting in.

Okay.

Will you stop acting silly?

Is that meant to be inviting?

Damon?

Damon! Damon, I know you hear me!

Who is that?

You said you weren't

seeing anybody.

That's Janine.

From the restaurant?

Damon!

Damon, you better open up!

It's your house.

Tell her you're busy.

- I can't.

- Why not?

This ain't my house.

It's hers. I can't afford this sh*t.

Damon, open this damn door!

- You can afford a Range Rover.

- Uh-uh.

You have a titanium

American Express card.

That's hers, too.

You said she's married.

She is. Sometimes she not.

I know you got that ho

from the restaurant there!

Who's she calling a ho?

Shh!

- I'm not shushing!

- You better shush.

She crazy.

I'll shoot you and that b*tch,

'cause you know I'm crazy!

I told you. She crazy.

Crazy! She crazy.

Why are you doing this to me?

Open, open, open, open, open.

Open, open, open!

When she come through the door...

when she break the door

down, you don't want to be here.

Well, where should I be?

I am not getting on

that fire escape.

Damon, open this damn door!

Damon, I got something for you!

- Where is this b*tch?

- Nobody's here.

Is Sam's

dumb-ass idea working?

Did he pop the question?

I'm on a fire escape!

I'll assume that's a no.

Anyway, bachelor number two...

is on the flight
