Peeples
(Gospel music playing)
Woman:
Yes, sir!(Choir whooping)
Say it now!
Wade:
Woman:
All right, now. Teachit and preach it, brother!
Wade:
There comes a time...
Woman:
Mmm-hmm. Amen.Wade:
... In everyone's life
when you have to
express yourself.
Woman:
Mmm-hmm.Holding feelings inside
makes us do strange things.
Can I get a witness?
Now, Jimmy over there
has shared with the group.
And that's good.
Nothing to be ashamed of here.
Woman:
Yes, sir.That's right.
It can happen to anybody.
No judgment over here.
(Children giggling)
Have I peed on myself before?
Hell, yeah, children!
(Children giggling)
Was it an accident? Yes.
Okay, sometimes I
did it on purpose,
but that's what
we're getting to.
We're learning
you don't have to
pee on something.
You can use your words.
Your words have power.
More power than your pee.
You've got to speak it,
don't leak it.
That's what this
song is telling you.
Speak it, don't leak it.
# Get up and dance!
You totally can
# speak it, don't leak it
# don't keep
your feelings secret
# say it, don't spray it
# that's how
the big kids play it
# don't you repress it now
# express yourself
# so if you're
# there ain't no
curin' in that urine
# speak it, don't leak it
(vocalizing)
(Children cheering)
Ha ha!
Hey!
Grace peeples.
How are you?
Baby, I'm good.
Did you try leak it?
Yeah.
And?
They loved it.
Agh! Honey, you're like
the kid whisperer. Right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Their little
hands were clapping. Mmm.
You're amazing.
Thank you.
They're so lucky to have you.
Mmm.
Do you want a snack?
You're the best, babe.
No. I...
(Groans)
What?
Babe. I had plans
for us this weekend.
I bought a new suit. I was gonna
give you some ebony elegance.
No. We have been through this.
This is a non-negotiable with daddy.
It's Moby dick day.
I have to go.
Okay, you know
how crazy that sounds, right?
Yes. But it's the whole town.
We all get together.
We recite from the novel. We bless
the fishermen. It's a whole thing.
So if it's big dick day, why aren't
I going? Shouldn't I be there?
I didn't say it was big.
So it's little dick day. You're going
all the way out there for little...
Okay. You have to stop.
I'm telling you,
you would not like it.
It's boring,
it's cold, it's...
Grace! It's been a year.
It's time I met your folks.
You get that
little eyebrow thing
when you're mad at me.
It's very cute.
No. No. Stop.
And it makes you
very much delicious.
No. I'm not making sweet
precious love to you
until you share
the chocolate Kennedys.
We are not
the chocolate Kennedys.
I don't like it when
you say that, wade!
This is about your dad.
What about him?
You empower him.
No, I confer.
I confer with him.
He's a federal judge.
(Scoffs) You're a lawyer
with the united nations.
But you need a permission slip
signed by daddy so I can be your man.
(Chuckling) Oh!
Peanuts! Ah!
What?
Peanuts!
No, no, no.
How are you gonna
use the safe word?
I can't come
against the safe word.
You agreed to the safe word.
"Peanuts" means end of discussion. Yes?
But we talked...
De-ba-ta.
Hmph. Fine. Go on. Be with your
peeples. I got peoples, too.
Wade?
What?
I will be back
before you know it.
Mmm-hmm.
And do you know why?
Because I love you.
Wanna take me to the jitney?
Sure.
Doctor, how is Amanda?
Unfortunately, Amanda
suffered quite a lot of damage.
I'm gonna need to keep her
for about a week.
Agh!
I hate this part of my job.
Here's my card.
Call me if you need
anything.
(Sighs)
That's so generous of you.
I know.
Hello. Let's prep
Amanda for surgery. Nurse.
Don't take my baby!
Agh! Son of a...
Fix her!
(Grunts angrily)
Good thing you're
in the hospital.
What are you doing here?
Ah. Just came, you know, hang out,
see what you want to do this weekend.
Hang out? What about grace? Thought
Saturday was the big proposal day.
(Groans) She's away at
sag harbor with her family.
Without you?
Yeah. You know,
no big deal. Whatever.
So what are you supposed
to do this weekend,
just sit there looking stupid with
grandma's ring sitting in your pocket?
How did you know
it was in my pocket?
Because it's been there
for the last three months.
Look, I love grace.
You know I love grace.
But this is some
highly suspect sh*t!
Why is everything
about betrayal with you?
You know what?
You never got over
seeing mom in bed
with Mr. Andy.
Don't talk about Mr. Andy.
Okay? I had to watch my troop
leader doing very unspeakable acts
while wearing my merit
sash. That's not right.
Look, answer me this.
What are you supposed to do?
I don't know, man.
All right.
wedding proposal yet again,
all for the sake
of big dog daddy.
I mean, the power
distribution is way off.
It's like she can't make a
move without daddy, you know?
She puts him on
some kind of pedestal.
On a freaking
pedestal, man.
Look, you are just
as good as him.
Mmm-hmm.
I mean,
maybe not as good,
because he's a federal judge, and
you sing songs about urine to minors,
but people love you.
People do love me.
You're right.
Maybe I should
just go out there.
Go!
Meet the family.
Yeah.
They love me.
I love them.
Black love.
I pick the perfect time to propose
in front of
daddy and everybody.
That's what's up.
Okay? That sets the tone.
Handle your business,
big bro.
That's exactly
what I'm gonna do.
Bro, but wait, man.
Can we talk, man?
You can't just
bring up Mr. Andy
and then walk away.
That's just...
There is no merit badge
for what they were doing.
Driver:
Watch your step, sir.Here you go.
Hey, man! Taxi!
I'm trying to get to judge
peeples' house. Can you take me?
That's a private road. The closest
you're gonna get is on that.
Oh, God.
Oh, God. Oh, God. (Groans)
Oh...
(Belches)
(Dog barks)
Hello?
(World music playing)
(Yelling)
What in God's name...
Don't run or present your
hindquarters to the dog.
You're gonna set off
his instinct to mate.
(Yelps)
Well, now you're
having puppies.
Wade:
Get this dog!Aaah!
Please, somebody, help me!
Help me!
Just relax!
He's getting to know you.
Wade:
This dogis doing it to me!
Banneker, off!
I told you not to run.
Wade:
Man!I was just trying to live.
We usually have him leashed
when we're expecting visitors.
Are you okay?
Well, this isn't exactly
how I planned to meet you two,
but I'm wade.
(Chuckles)
Hey.
Virgil peeples.
Daphne peeples.
Can we help you?
I'm wade.
Wade Walker.
I was hoping to
surprise grace.
You know our Gracie?
Yeah.
(Chuckling) Grace and I have
been... Grace:
(Yelling) Peanuts!Peanuts! Peanuts! Peanuts!
Peanuts! Peanuts!
Hi.
