Yes.

Daddy better get ready

for a double wedding.

Chris? What...

My goodness! What are

you doing here? (Chuckles)

He was just leaving.

Call me when you get to the

city, little bro. No, no!

Grace:
Did you forget something? Frat!

Frat? Okay.

Ahh!

Ahh!

(Laughing)

This is my brother, Chris.

Welcome.

Thank you. That was quite a

welcome. But if you'll excuse me,

I just spent the last 26 hours in

the ER, hopped on the first jitney.

I'm gonna have to

get some rest at an inn, so...

Second generation gamma!

I'm not gonna let my frat

brother stay in an inn.

You are staying with us!

(Chuckles)

Ahh!

(Both) Ahh! Ahh!

Fly away.

Come home with us.

Okay.

Come on, grace.

Okay. Welcome.

All right.

See you there.

Grace:
Okay.

Virgil:
Nice surprise.

Gamma doctor in the house.

Where did you

get the sweater?

From my roommate.

Okay, you need to tell him

you are not in his frat.

Oh, hell, no. That would

make me look crazy.

Ahoy! Don't want

to be late for Nana's.

Ahoy!

(Sighs)

This is gonna be so much fun.

A woman that can handle her own

speedboat. That is a new one for me.

Gloria:
I'm a control freak.

Well, like I always say, any

kind of freak is a good one.

(Both laugh)

Very nice.

Yeah.

(Chuckles) Yeah.

Mmm mmm mmm.

(Growls)

(Yelps)

Just joking, man.

Welcome. All right.

All right.

Doctor, huh?

Grace:
Okay, here's the thing about

my granddad. You're gonna love him,

but he's always pressuring me

about marriage.

So just avoid that discussion.

Avoid.

Mmm-hmm.

Hello?

Hi! Granddad, this is my wade.

Wade, granddad.

It's a pleasure

to meet you, sir.

You, too, sir.

This house is

absolutely incredible.

Thank you. I nailed every

board, laid every brick.

You built this by hand?

In life, build everything by

hand and heart. Remember that!

That's my dad's motto.

(Grunts)

When will you ever learn?

You've got to stay ready.

I'm surprised

you even remembered my motto.

Course I do.

Virgil could have been

the first black president,

but he didn't ever

listen growing up.

Virgil:
I think

I did all right.

Of course, of course. Judge

is just the same as president.

Well, minus the honor,

the white house and the power.

I see you, you know. I see you

checking out my granddaughter.

Well, no disrespect,

Nana, but she is fine.

Nana:
I just wouldn't want

you to be disappointed.

Come on, Nana. Don't

you think I'm handsome?

Oh, I think you're charming.

But Gloria is...

Uh, she's...

She's that way.

What way?

The gay way.

No!

Yes.

Nana.

Yes, yes. You can see

that they're in love.

Plus, lesbians are

all over my husband's family.

Always have been. Mmm-hmm.

Chris:
You'll have to

excuse my language, Nana,

but I don't give a damn

if a little girl-on-girl

action does run

in your family.

I've got to try.

She looks too good.

Checkmate.

What?

Nana:
Listen,

I must be honest with you.

I just do not

understand this whole thing.

What whole thing?

This two-women thing. What kind

of pleasure is there in that?

Well, pour me a drink, I'll

tell you how it all goes down.

What?

Gonna need a couple

pairs of scissors.

A couple...

Yeah. And a wet sponge.

So what are your plans?

Uh, um, just...

It's my first time here.

So I'm gonna enjoy sag harbor,

check out Moby dick day...

No, I was talking about your

plans with my granddaughter.

Oh.

I love her

very much, sir.

Any marriage plans?

We... well, no.

Mmm-mmm.

Not right now.

We just...

I love her. She's...

We're happy just kicking it.

What's that,

"kickin' it"?

Oh, it's just an

expression. You know, like...

Not really

kicking anything.

It's just hanging out.

Chilling.

Mmm-hmm.

Well,

I suppose a man has to decide

when he wants to

stand up and be a man.

I'm...

I want... I want to.

You are a man. Yeah.

I'm a man.

Virgil:
I want my daughters to know

what it's like to be with a person

who has the conviction

to plan a future

and not somebody

who just wants to "kick it. "

Actually,

I think this is

the perfect time

to talk about

plans for the future.

Gloria:
Lunch is on, peeples!

Oh! Hey!

Let's get it while it's hot!

(Chuckles)

I say when the wind blows

and the trees bend,

I put my boots on,

and I walk like this.

Virgil:
Yeah, my man!

Right here, daddy! (Laughing)

How does that man

keep finding that cape?

I've hidden it from him

1,000 times. (Chuckles)

I find my brother!

Virgil:
Whoo!

Looks like a ghetto Hogwarts.

Both:
I said we walk like this. I said

we walk like this. I call my brother...

Woo hoo!

And we walk like this!

When the lightning strikes...

Meg:
Go, grandpa!

...and the thunder roars,

I find my brother.

(Whooping)

Whose brother are they gonna

find and walk like that?

I say we walk like this!

I find my brother, woo-hoo,

and we walk like this.

Both:
Oh, sh*t.

Tough night. Look, you've

got to tell him the truth.

I'm not telling.

And we are...

Tell him. Would you

tell him? Tell him!

Why did you smack the shrimp

out of my mouth?

Tell him. Tell him.

Meg:
Yeah!

Grandpa:
Five. Down. Up.

Hah hah!

Step, young man! Step!

Grandpa:
Come on. Let's see

what you've got, young blood.

Don't. All right?

Just don't, please?

Ahh!

(Gloria laughing)

(Grunting rhythmically)

Okay. Here we go.

What?

(Grunting)

Gloria:
Let's go, Chris! Go!

Maybe you should get with

Chris. See if you're straight.

That's a great idea.

He does a mean robot.

Get with Chris. Sprint!

Okay. Well,

I could get on that. I could.

That's that new school.

Eat some shrimp or something.

Something's

wrong with that boy.

Hey, ladies and gentlemen,

we've got a diva in the house.

Miss lady divine peeples, would

you please step to the stage?

What's up?

(Playing guitar)

Wade:
Everybody say "Daphne. "

Go ahead.

All:
Daphne, Daphne, Daphne.

Daughters:
Mom, mom, mom, mom!

It's been too long.

Yes, it has been

way too long.

Well, I hope

I remember the words.

Wade:
Come on.

Okay.

(Singing off-key) # hey,

baby (All exclaim in surprise)

Wade:
That's all right,

that's all right.

Nana:
Try again.

Now, come on.

I'm coming back around for you.

I'm coming back around for you.

# Hey, baby,

wanna jump in my game?

# Odds are you'll

never be the same

# when I lay down

what you been missin'

# no man livin' got

a hope of resistin'

don't like him.

# Don't need your soul

don't want your mind

# just make me feel it

when you bump and grind

you know, I forgot Daphne

could move like that.

# Let me take you

where you never been ooh!

# Don't need your mind

don't want your soul

# just say you feel it

when I rock and roll

all:
Ah! Ah! Whoo!

It seems it just

takes the right man

to pull it out of you.

You know?

Mom!

Well...

# All over your body

# tonight's the night

you're gonna feel my heat, by

# I got the moves to

knock you off your feet

# I'm gonna make

your heart skip that beat

# when I turn you on, oh

# any other lovers

know they can't compete

# when I turn you on
