Come on, Kenya.

Well, you showed me the light.

Didn't you?

Well, looks like you two

have been having fun.

And plus, I can't even

reach Kenya.

She used to pick up on the

first ring. So, do share.

Well, I've been...

- I have a big account right now. So...

Yeah.

Kenya.

Admit it, girl. You're

having fun. I can tell.

Oh, wait. And before I forget,

I got this on our last trip.

And now that you're into colors, I

thought you might be able to use it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's beautiful.

It's beautiful.

That's my song. Come

on, let's dance. Okay.

Come on, y'all.

Shake a tail feather now.

So, I hear you into gardening.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Like that jungle variety.

The jungle what?

The jungle variety.

Look, man, do you do this

with all your clients?

Do you bring them out?

No, not usually. Why?

Because that woman,

you see that woman?

I love that woman.

And Kenya love that woman.

She's like a sister to Kenya, so she's

kind of like a sister-in-law to me.

See what I'm saying?

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

So we got her back.

She's kind of like family.

You got that?

Yeah, I got it.

Good.

Got what?

You got what?

Got milk.

What was that about?

It was just about you.

Here you go, Sommore.

I'll be up at the bar.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, baby. How are you

doing? You did a good job.

Thank you.

I'm glad y'all came.

This is my girl, Cheryl.

Hi, how are you doing? Hi.

Hi, nice to meet you.

That's Kenya.

Hi, how are you? Hi.

I'm Brian.

Hi.

I see y'all brought

your night light with you.

Girl, either you getting your swirl on or

you got your probation officer with you.

Well, I don't blame you.

I know all about

these undisclosed liabilities.

And you're not concerned?

Well, yeah, but did you see the

receivables? They're right here.

Yes, I've looked them over.

Jack-

Look, I really need this

IPO to happen.

I know you do, but the

deal has to make sense.

Look,

did you see this, Bill?

Of course,

Bill saw it.

He prepared the document

before I did the analysis.

Jack, I know you're anxious about

this deal but I'm only protecting you.

Jack.

Oh, Edwin.

You still owe me a

round of golf. I sure do.

Listen, why don't you take

a minute and sit with us?

I'd love to,

but I have a meeting.

You're in good hands.

Kenya knows what she's doing.

Well, after your meeting, why don't

you stop back here and look at this?

Sure. Kenya, do you mind?

Not at all. Jack values your

feedback, and he should have it.

We're all here

to serve the client.

I believe that.

Watch this.

Oh, my God!

Wow!

Brian...

this is just incredible.

It's...

everything I ever wanted...

and more.

Thank you.

Hard day?

Annoying.

This client is a trip.

I have to go back into

the office tomorrow...

and he's second guessing

everything I do.

I have to double-check

my work just in case.

That old black tax again.

Black tax?

Yeah, you have to work twice as

hard just to prove yourself equal.

You sure you're not

being paranoid?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay. Then I'll work

Saturday, too.

Hey.

Don't walk up on me like that,

you don't know me.

Well, I thought you could

use some help.

Oh, man, you trying to steal

my secrets over here.

That's what you trying to do.

You got me.

You got me. I admit it.

Well, you know what? You ought

to feel real, real blessed...

that you're even invited

to this negro spiritual.

I am, Walter.

You know what I'm saying?

Hey, Boo-boo.

Talk to you later.

Oh, hey.

You look gorgeous.

Hi.

Oh, there's Leah.

Leah! Paul!

Hey, Paul.

Hi.

Hi, look at you guys.

I am so psyched.

Well, I'm so psyched

for you guys.

Wedding in a few weeks.

Yeah.

Hey, the place looks great. Thank you.

I want to show you

the fountain.

I've been telling her about

the fountain. Yeah, yeah. Great.

Yeah, I really like what you did

here. Oh, thanks. Thanks a lot.

It's a good space to work

with. Can I get you a drink?

Yes, sure. We'll just have

a couple of sodas.

Two sodas. Coming right up.

That white guy's

really nice.

Girl, honey,

you let go all right.

Working your natural hair,

sporting your little boy-toy.

He's a doll, baby.

He's a gardener.

He's a good one, girl. Look

at your flowers and blooms.

Tony's cute.

Divorced.

Well, not technically,

but the separation is legal.

Suzzette.

I know, you guys, please.

He came into my office

cradling that feverish child.

Those muscular arms.

He said,

"Doctor, we need help."

What was I supposed to do?

Let go, let flow. Cheers!

The reality of it is

a brother can't get no slack.

Now see, if a white boy

had done that-

Oh, please. He would

have got a promotion.

What I'm saying.

Give me some of that.

Are you guys talking

about the black tax?

Ahem.

Drinks?

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wait

a minute, wait a minute.

My man! He's a spy.

He tried to con me out of a

barbecue technique earlier today.

I guess he gonna try to open up his

own restaurant or something like that.

No. I'll be...

Excuse me, yeah...

What is that police pat that you

give me on the back all the time?

Kenya!

This looks like

a bordello in Bangkok.

Hi.

Hi, sweetie.

I didn't think you'd

make it. Dr. McQueen.

Dad!

Hello.

I'm Brian.

Oh, the landscaper.

Actually, Brian is my friend, Mother.

Brian, good to meet you.

Good to meet you too, sir.

Oh, why did you cut your hair?

It was your shining glory.

It was a weave, Mother.

Well, it suited you.

Come on, take me in the house

so I can freshen up.

So, you did all this? Yeah,

let me show you around.

Kenya, look at this place.

You have gone all bohemian, my dear.

What on earth has gotten into you?

Do not answer that.

I'm gonna tell Mama.

Hi, Nelson.

Hi.

Oh, my bad. Luna, this is my

sister Kenya. Kenya, this is Luna.

Hi.

Hi.

Listen to me.

I think I found the one.

Well, that's great.

Congratulations.

Oh, no, no, no. No, for you.

I found your future husband.

Yeah, my mentor in law school

just moved into town.

Nelson, why don't you just

stay out of my business?

Can you just do me a favor,

and just check him out first?

I promise you, you are gonna

thank me. You're gonna thank me.

And also I told him

to come here tonight.

What? Yeah, I called

him like, yesterday.

Nelson,

I'm gonna strangle you.

You know what? It's too

late, 'cause he's here.

This is for allowing me

to crash your party.

I'm Mark Harper.

What's up, baby boy?

How are you, sir?

Mark gave me

my first job as an intern.

Thanks. Nice to meet

you. Same here. Finally.

Nelson's been telling me

about you for years now.

I've talked about you for years. Yeah.

So, you just bought

this place? Yeah, yeah.

It's nice.

I just relocated from Phoenix,

myself. I'm looking for a place.

So, maybe you can help me

out. Show me some things.

I mean, I'm thinking you're probably

an expert in the area by now.

Oh, well,

I know a thing or two...

but I wouldn't call myself

an authority or anything.

Oh.

What?

Look, my sister is just playing
