Hey, Sherm. You see
that girl back there?
The girl at the jukebox?
- Oh, yeah, she's cute.
- All right.
So I'm coming back from the bathroom.
I hear her going on and
on and on about boxing.
I figure you go over there,
talk to her about boxing,
you probably have a shot.
Ooh, that's what I'm
talking 'bout, Nicky.
Thanks for looking out.
Now y'all prepare to watch a master
at work.
[LAUGHTER]
Get it. Get it.
I made all of that up. This is a prank.
She wasn't talking about boxing.
- Amazing.
- Oh.
This is gonna be a
disaster, and I love it.
Oh, it's starting.
Oh, there he goes.
This is even better than
I thought it would be.
He's actually pretending to box.
I don't understand.
Did he tell her that he's a boxer?
- Wow, wow, wow, wow.
- What is he doing?
Good little combo.
- Oh, he got hit.
- He took a shot?
- Kind of a stick and move.
- Okay.
He's doing "The Matrix" now.
- Oh, she don't like it?
- Oh, she stopped him.
- She's telling him something.
- She told him to leave.
She's saying, "I don't like violence."
Oh, no.
Oh, we got him good.
That could not have gone better.
We're headed back to her place.
- Thank you, Nicky.
- Yeah.
- I

Hey, you know what I just realized?
Everyone here is in a relationship.
Excuse you. I ain't in no relationship.
But you do say you're
married to the game.
That's true.
I am in a long-term
relationship with these streets.
Well, Kristen and I are hosting
a little potluck next week.
Plus-ones are welcome,
and if you guys are in,
just text me what you're bringing.
Oh, I don't think Michael is gonna
make it to the potluck.
He's in San Diego for Uncle Phil Con.
Uncle Phil Con? Is that where
People who look like Uncle Phil
all hang out together
in a conference room?
Yeah, uh-huh.
He's always trying to get me to go,
and I don't know why.
So how are things going
with my brother, Nicky?
It's great.
I only have to pay for half the things,
like hotels, meals,
a box full of old "Jet" magazines
we stumbled upon at a yard sale.
Ooh, nice, eight-year-old Sherm
used to live for page 42.
[CHUCKLES] Naughty.
That's facts.
Must be nice,
dating someone who is not married.
Oh, no, are things not working out
between you and your
girlfriend's husband?
Okay, let me just say that I respect
Courtney and Simone being best friends.
He did us a huge favor
by agreeing to marry her.
So obviously, you know, I'm
very, very appreciative
CliffsNotes, my guy. What happened?
Okay, I don't like him,
he's mean, and he sucks.
This is such great weather for a walk.
Yeah, the sun is really shining.
Yeah. That's what the sun does.
- And then I was like, "Jenga!"
- Oh, my God.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
- That's the end of the story?
That's cool.
[FORCED LAUGHTER]
I'm just, ugh, so tired of him
being involved in our relationship.
And now, with this immigration stuff,
I have to deal with him for months.
Ooh, Kristen and I are friends
with this great immigration lawyer.
They can expedite the whole process,
get it done in a couple weeks.
- Yes, please, thank you.
- Good.
Don't let your girlfriend's
husband block your blessings.
Mm-hmm.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
♪
- Aye.
- Aye.
- Brush it.
- Brush it.
Now freeze.
Who's brushing tonight? ♪
BOTH: Who's brushing tonight? ♪
Now spit.
[PHONE BUZZES]
That dresser drawer
I cleared out for you
is really coming in handy, I see.
It is.
I can't believe you gave me the top one.
Oh, welcome to the good life, baby.
It's almost like we're
moving in together.
Yep, true.
Uh-oh, I didn't mean to
make you uncomfortable.
No, you didn't make me uncomfortable.
[LAUGHS] Babe, come on.
You have the worst poker face ever.
You've been like this as
long as I've known you.
Like you know me.
Okay, so what do you think
about my friend Tonya?
- She's cool.
- Anthony.
I just don't think she's
as young as she says she is.
Why does she drink so much Ovaltine?
♪
Thank you all for meeting me here today.
I wanted to gather my richest friends,
and Wyatt, to see if
they'd be interested
in getting in one the ground
floor of my newest venture.
I need 90% equity and
complete creative control.
I'm not interested unless
I get naming rights.
- I'm sorry, I'm out.
- I ain't even pitched it yet.
Damn!
I've been dabbling in
a little winemaking,
and I finally finished my first batch.
So I'd like to present to
you Jones & Sons Peach Wine,
established 1776.
I thought that the driving
business was your thing.
Oh, I'm still doing that,
but a mogul understands diversification.
I don't know.
The wine and spirits
market is really crowded.
Even T.D. Jakes has a wine now.
Can you just try it, please?
Please, please, please?
- BOTH: Okay.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, yes.
- All right.
- For you, Nicky.
- Thank you.
- Wyatt.
- Oh.
Kristen.
- All right, all right.
- Hmm
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
Wow.
This is amazing.
It really is.
Sherm, when you came out today,
I was expecting the worst,
but you've impressed me.
- Same.
- Us too.
[CHUCKLES] Great!
Let's start the bidding at $10 million.
- ¿Escúchame?
- Boy, what's wrong with you?
I don't know how much money y'all got.
I was taking a shot.
♪
So this is Wyatt's guy?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
He would've been way too expensive.
But this guy seems legit.
- Saw him on a bus bench.
- Hmm.
Dang, did we have to do this so early?
- It's 3:00 p.m.
- Oh, for real?
That's late. Why didn't
we do this earlier?
Well, this was the only appointment
we could get at such short notice.
- [TOILET FLUSHING]
- [DOOR CLICKS]
Greetings.
I'm Carl Kurm of Kurm & Associates.
Little bit about me:
I used to live in New
York, and I worked as a DA.
Then a couple of months ago,
I looked in the mirror,
and I said to myself,
I need to switch some
things up before I turn 30.
You're under 30?
Yeah, I'm 27.
Right, so me and my husband were hoping
to get me citizenship
sooner rather than later.
Mm.
How do you fit into this situation?
Oh, I'm her best friend.
That checks out.
Anyway, I have a buddy
who works for immigration.
- Let me make a phone call.
- Okay.
Really? Wow, okay.
Well, thanks a lot, buddy.
All right, bye.
That did not go well.
Turns out, he and I are not friends
and you guys have been
added to the USCIS watchlist.
- That's my bad.
- Wait, what does that mean?
That means that ICE may show
up at your home at any moment
to check that your
marriage is legitimate.
And what happens if we're not
living together when ICE shows up?
Well, I believe the legal
term is "instant deportation."
Cool, so you two will
be living together.
That's excellent.
You're a very supportive friend.
Well, the lawyer plan backfired.
Simone and Courtney
are on a watchlist now,
so they have to move in
together indefinitely.
That doesn't sound like something
my lawyer friend would do.
Yeah, your lawyer
friend was too expensive.
I went with a bus ad attorney.
Everyone knows you can't trust a bus ad.
Unless it's real estate, right?
My ads. They look good, right?
Right?
[BLEEP] all y'all!
So, uh, check this.
Talia and I were hanging
out the other night,
and she sort of kind of mentioned
the idea of us moving in together.
- That's exciting.
- Yeah, it's dope.
- Oh.
- Mm-mm.
- Oh, wow.
- What?
I said it's dope.
Oh, honey, we heard what you said.
We just know you're lying.
You have no poker face.
Wait, so everybody knows this about me?
You've been like this since forever.
Like the time Sherm came to visit
and I introduced you guys at UCLA.
Hey, man, it was real
nice to meet you, bro.
Uh, yeah. Cool.
It was nice to meet you too.
What the hell? You didn't like me?
I liked you. I always liked you.
- You're doing it right now.
- Damn.
My stupid face always snitching on me.
Wait, how did you leave
that discussion with Talia?
Kind of open-ended?
I know, I know. I
should bring it up again.
But, you know, I'm just not
sure how I feel about it.
You should count your blessings!
Count every single one, you damn fool!
- Whoa.
- Sorry.
I just wish I had what you had.
My girlfriend's moving in with
her fake husband, who I hate.
♪
Yo, Amir, would you ever be interested
in serving a new wine here at the bar?
Sure, man. What you got?
Ooh, Jones & Sons.
Very nice. I like this.
Wait. Did you make this at home?
Oh, yes, sir. Crafted
from the finest grapes.
Found in the produce aisle
at my local Food 4 Less.
Well, that's exciting,
but I can't sell this wine.
- Why not?
- Licensing.
Regulation issues.
Not to mention, the
serious risk of botulism.
Botulism? Botch, please.
[CHUCKLES] What is botulism?
Botulism is an awful bacterial disease.
It can cause symptoms
like difficulty breathing,
paralysis, oftentimes death.
- I've seen it tear people up.
- Whew.
It's actually not a problem
at all if you cleaned the jugs.
[CHUCKLES] Oh, I cleaned the jugs.
Oh, no. I did not clean the jugs.
Hey, for educational purposes,
'cause I love knowledge,
uh, if someone were
to not clean the jugs
and then serve this
to a group of friends,
how long would it be until
I knew they were safe?
Well, symptoms can appear
anytime up to ten days.
Oh, okay, well, it's a good thing
we ain't got to worry about that, right?
Oh, no. I am so worried.
I might have poisoned my friends!
♪
All right. Well, this is my place.
Simone, make yourself at home.
Noah, thank you for grabbing
the smallest bag you could find.
It had heavy stuff in it.
Mm, the stuff was heavy for you.
- I'm taller than you are.
- Bro, that's mostly hair.
- You're, like, 5'7".
- Oh, I'm tall-tall.
I'll shave my head off right now, boy.
Okay, that's enough.
You guys obviously
don't like each other.
That's not true.
I have no issue with
Courtney, except for the fact
that he's the coldest
person I've ever met.
Why are you in my home? I
don't even know you, man.
See?
Okay, well, we're finally communicating.
And you both want me to stay
in the country, don't you?
- BOTH: Yeah.
- See?
That's already one
thing you have in common.
And there's bound to be more.
So I'm thinking
you should spend some
one-on-one time together.
That can't be the best solution.
I hate to agree with this man,
but that's a bad idea.
Come on. Just one hang.
For me?
- [SIGHS]
- Okay, one hang.
How long does the hang have to be?
- Courtney.
- I can do a short hang.
♪
Hey, what's up, Wyatt? You good?
Sherm, this is the
fifth time you've called.
- What's up?
- Yeah, I know.
I feel like we should all check in more.
- We all we got.
- Oh, I love that.
So you good then? No
shortness of breath?
Blurry vision? How them bowels moving?
No, I'm feeling good.
Just getting ready for
this potluck tomorrow.
And what are you bringing?
You gotta let me know.
I don't know. How's Kristen doing?
Oh, man. She has been really sick.
Oh, no!
Yeah, just sick and tired
of this movie deal that
she's trying to close.
It's been really tough
on her and her team.
Why did you phrase it like that?
I gotta go. Bye.
- Hello?
- Hey, Nicky, you good?
[COUGHING]
- Oh, no!
- Whew!
Sorry. I swallowed a bug.
Damn! What is with all the misleads?
Listen, I'm glad that you called
because I really wanted to talk
to you more about your wine.
Talk about what? What have you heard?
It's great.
And I want to support by
getting in on the ground floor,
so
I gotta go. My phone's dying
akakakak!
♪
The Lambrusco here is pretty good.
I don't really drink
wine. They got Henny?
Nope. It's a wine bar.
All right, look, I'm glad
I could help you and Simone.
But we don't have to
force this connection.
Okay. Yeah, I definitely hear you.
So why don't we just get a drink,
so we can at least tell
Simone that we tried?
Yes, yes, let's do that.
- Amir.
- Yeah.
- Two Lambruscos, please.
- Coming right up.

Damn you, Anthony!

- Oh, I'm fine.
Oh, no. I'm sweating.
Is it the nerves, or is it the botulism?

Does she know my secret?
Maybe she's not looking anymore.
Oh, no, she's still
looking! The jig is up!
Sherm, are you sure you're okay?
Yes, yes, I'm fine.
Can I holla at you over here real quick?
- Yeah, sure.

Ooh, you're sweating hard.
Hey. Well, here's the deal.
That wine I made may be
poisoned with botulism.
Wait, wait. You poisoned me?
Maybe poisoned you. Maybe.
How could you not say anything?
'Cause of reactions like this!
You could have poisoned everybody here!
You maybe poisoned
all these people here.
You brought that wine
here without telling me.
Oh, I was just trying
to be a fun friend.
Well, you were wrong,

I think you may be a little
intoxicated right now.
Yeah, and I've never seen
you that way, Courtney.
So what are you gonna
do, just pick this old
broccoli head-ass boy over me?
Hey.
I think you should leave, Courtney.
How could you not see
that I've always loved you?
I mean, I married you, and it wasn't
to help this old string
bean head-ass boy over here.

Come on. He's not worthy of you.
Yeah, he's tall, but he is goofy.

Bok choy hey, man, stop
comparing me to vegetables.
I wish somebody brought some vegetables.
Look, I'm not about to just stand here

No, not a good got, man. I
taught you better than that.

I asked first.
You tell me what you're gonna do,

just go, just leave.
All right, I'll leave. Come on, Sim-Sim.

Hey, everybody.
We know the evening
took an unexpected turn.
But we're really happy all
of you are here tonight.
There's too much chicken, though.

Thank you all for coming.
Ooh, my stomach hurts.
Oh, no, no, no! It's happening!
It's the botulism!

Nicky, Sherm, stop!
Seth didn't have any wine.
- BOTH: Oh.
- Yeah.
I just had too much chicken.
Of course, 'cause that's all there was!
And you thought you got us sick,
and neither of you said anything?
We didn't want to cause
any unnecessary panic.
And then it turns out
everything is fine.
Yeah, just monitor yourself for symptoms
for, like, four days just to be safe.
- But everything's okay.
- It's fine, it's fine.
Hey. What you up to?
Oh, I'm just catching Fay up
on everything that went down tonight.
Yo, that dude, Courtney, was on one.
[CHUCKLES]
He was.
Um
is something going on with you and Fay?
What? No.
Anthony.
Okay.
Honestly
I think maybe Fay likes me,
or at least she did at some point.
But does that matter?
What if one of my close
guy friends liked me,
and we talked all the time?
You'd be cool with that?
I don't understand why
we're doing hypotheticals.
Okay, so no hypotheticals.
Do you have feelings for Fay?
[SIGHS]
I kind of did,
but that was before you and I.
And honestly, I had no idea she liked me
until after we were together.
Oh, so if you had just known earlier?
I didn't mean it like that.
I just meant that
Fay is a good friend, nothing more.
[SIGHS] I'm sorry, Anthony.
This is just all too messy for me.

Greetings.
I'm Carl Kurm of Kurm & Associates.
Little bit about me:
I used to live in New
York, and I worked as a DA.
Then a couple of months ago,
I looked in the mirror,
and I said to myself,
I need to switch some
things up before I turn 30.
You're under 30?
Yeah, I'm 27.
Right, so me and my husband were hoping
to get me citizenship
sooner rather than later.
Mm.
How do you fit into this situation?
Oh, I'm her best friend.
That checks out.
Anyway, I have a buddy
who works for immigration.
- Let me make a phone call.
- Okay.
Really? Wow, okay.
Well, thanks a lot, buddy.
All right, bye.
That did not go well.
Turns out, he and I are not friends
and you guys have been
added to the USCIS watchlist.
- That's my bad.
- Wait, what does that mean?
That means that ICE may show
up at your home at any moment
to check that your
marriage is legitimate.
And what happens if we're not
living together when ICE shows up?
Well, I believe the legal
term is "instant deportation."
Cool, so you two will
be living together.
That's excellent.
You're a very supportive friend.
Well, the lawyer plan backfired.
Simone and Courtney
are on a watchlist now,
so they have to move in
together indefinitely.
That doesn't sound like something
my lawyer friend would do.
Yeah, your lawyer
friend was too expensive.
I went with a bus ad attorney.
Everyone knows you can't trust a bus ad.
Unless it's real estate, right?
My ads. They look good, right?
Right?

So, uh, check this.
Talia and I were hanging

the idea of us moving in together.

I said it's dope.
Oh, honey, we heard what you said.
We just know you're lying.
You have no poker face.
Wait, so everybody knows this about me?

nice to meet you, bro.
