All American (2018) s03e15 Episode Script

1 Okay, so how do y'all think that practice went? Why don't you ask Spence? Mean, as far as I can tell, the rest of us are just out there to make the wannabe all American look good.
Yeah, well, the way you've been playin', you make my mama look good, - and she ain't ever played football before! - Okay, okay.
Y'all, look, I thought we got over this nonsense.
Yeah, I thought so, too, but Frausto keeps running his mouth.
- I keep runnin' my mouth? You the one that - Yeah, runnin' his mouth! Hey, both of you, shut up, please.
Come on, now.
We are this close to State.
I'm done talkin' to him.
Well, there's gonna be a lot more talkin' because I got a homework assignment for y'all: Tonight, y'all are gonna have a boys' night out.
Look, I can't tonight.
I got work.
Oh, you got work? I don't care.
You got to figure it out or you don't play.
Do I make myself clear? Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Ooh.
Cheese puffs Hey, no! Those aren't for you, okay? Layla's coming over tonight, so make yourself scarce.
Okay.
Don't worry.
Cool kids actually like going out on Friday nights.
Oh, my god.
Get over yourself.
You're literally married and live at home.
Stop, okay? Just let me be excited about this.
Layla and I are still trying to figure out our way back to being best friends, so tonight is important.
Well, I don't think I'm the one you should be worrying about crashing your party.
- Ahem.
- So, mom, you, uh, got any big plans for tonight? Just sitting here.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to put my legal services to work in low-income communities, but it's harder than I thought.
Hmm.
Or I could, uh, stay here and hang out with you and Layla, take a night off, we could have a girls' night.
That sounds like a great idea, mom.
You deserve the night off, mom.
Have you talked to Mrs.
James? Isn't she still working at the courthouse in Inglewood? I wouldn't want to bother her.
I I'll figure it out.
Well, yeah, or, you know, you could you could talk to someone who has both personal and legal connections in a community that you're tryin' to help.
Wow.
She really wants you out of the house, huh? If I give you a cheese puff, will you leave? Two puffs.
Come on.
Puff, puff, give.
Ow! No offense, sweetie, but I think asking Grace for help would be kinda weird.
Not even for the greater good? I mean, come on, mom.
What harm would it do to just get a drink with her? Wow you really want me out.
Cheese puff? I got the strangest message from Laura.
- She wants to talk to me about work.
- Mrs.
Baker, Laura? She wants to talk about it over a drink.
That's a little weird, right Considerin' our history? I mean, if she's cool leavin' all that in the past, then you should be, too, but I get it.
Coach is makin' me hang out with Frausto tonight.
- Your favorite person.
- And who's been in my face ever since I got back to Crenshaw, and now I'm just supposed to play nice? Oh, keep an open mind.
Maybe you won't have to "play" nice.
Yeah, okay.
Remember that when you're having drinks with Mrs.
Baker tonight.
Wakin' up one - Layla - Hey! And, uh, you.
I I'm sorry.
- I don't think we've met.
- Carrie.
- Heh! Hi.
- Sorry.
Her plans changed for the night.
I hope you don't mind.
Layla has told me so much about you.
- Heh heh! - Oh.
Carrie and I met, uh, um Running Springs, the mental health treatment center.
It's actually kind of a funny story.
We were in group therapy together and now we're roomies.
Heh! Wow.
Okay.
It's not that funny.
Good, good life You workin' late tonight? Yeah, every night, every night.
What about you? You're usually in your car before the bell stops ringin'.
I just had an extremely long phone call with an extremely concerned Mrs.
Regenstroff.
She's tough.
She's givin' me hell because I just cut her son.
That's what the phone call was about.
Her kid's barely 5' and slow, and they can't all be Rudy.
You look like you could use a drink.
Since when are teachers allowed to keep booze in their desks? I'm a coach.
It comes with the desk.
Wait.
This is probably too much for If you bring me somethin' sweeter, I can make you a chocolate choo-choo.
- Give me this.
- I'm just sayin'.
"Chocolate choo-choo".
It's not exactly Blue Label, but you did donate your salary, so I guess I can't complain.
Here.
I'm not tryin' to hear you whine when I drink your ass under the table anyway.
Oh, bup-bup-bup-bup-bup.
That sounds like a challenge to me.
Ranch on a hot dog? You're outta your mind, dude.
Oh Hey, what happened to the Eagles discount? That leave Beverly with you? Actually, JJ's night of a thousand wings ended that.
Yo, uh, can we stick around and play some pool after you close, or did JJ ruin that one, too? No, JJ didn't.
Your pops did.
He's forcing me to hang out with Frausto tonight.
Ah, yes, my family does love forcing people to hang out with people they don't want to.
Not you.
- You ready? - Yeah.
I just need a few minutes.
I gotta close up.
- Tip's not included, by the way.
- Oh, I'm not tipping you.
Play pool, Frausto? Wedding food! - Ha ha ha! - What's wedding food? Oh, um, when Liv and I were kids, we used to think that the food they served at weddings was so fancy.
Right, and when we'd have sleepovers, we would just make 'em, then act - all snooty, right, lovey? - Quite right, dear.
And would you like some wedding food? Oh! You mean canapés.
Oh, no.
No, thanks.
I'm on a really strict diet, and it does not include frozen foods.
Hmm.
Okay.
Oh, I was thinking, um, we could watch "Us" tonight.
Oh, perfect.
Yeah, um, Liv and I missed it in theaters.
Oh, well, trust me.
You did not miss much.
How 'bout we watch something more fun, like a movie where the main character isn't the villain? Heh! Are you serious? We avoided spoilers for years, and you just ruined it in, like, 10 seconds.
Oh, my god.
I'm so sorry.
I okay, well, just, honestly, pick pick whatever movie you want, and, um, I will go return these to the freezer where they came from.
Sorry.
Just one second.
Hey, can you go easy on her? What, me? She's ruining the night.
First she hates the food oh, sorry, the "canoppays".
- Canapés.
- And then she spoiled the movie.
Liv, please.
She is going through a rough time.
You and I both know what that's like.
Okay.
Fine.
I'll be nice.
I can introduce you to Kate Edwards.
She's the head of the community outreach program.
Oh, yeah.
That would be great.
I'd appreciate that.
- Yeah.
- Here I go again I didn't know Slauson Café had an adult-only singles night.
It's usually a coffee shop.
Well, I'll take wine over coffee any day.
Oh, dear God.
Please don't let her see me.
Who? Denise Patterson Rivers.
I went to high school with her.
Oh, "thirsty Denise"? I've heard a lot about her.
Apparently, she's been chasing Billy her whole life.
Not just Billy, pretty much anything with an "x" chromosome.
Looks like she caught another one.
This should be interesting.
Too bad we don't have some popcorn.
Ha! Even better.
- We got wine.
- Go again Okay.
Stuff not too bad, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
I was, uh, I was saving it for a special occasion, but, uh, well, I guess I guess you'll have to do.
Well, given where we started this year, who would have thought we'd end up here, huh, sharin' liquor out of a desk? I don't know.
Sometimes you still be lookin' at me like you want to punch me in my face.
Sometimes I do.
Why don't you? You serious? You want me to hit you? Why not? Probably make you feel better, even the score.
You should let me have it.
Boy, I wou Man, I wouldn't even want to hurt you.
I I am not the same kid I was in high school.
- I know my way around a gym now.
- Oh, do you, now? Heh heh! Well, look who's all grown up.
How much can you bench-press? - 215.
- You cannot bench 215 pounds.
There's only one way to find out, then, huh? Okay.
You got one more.
Push it.
You got it.
Oh, hey.
Look at you! - Yeah! - Now what? You ain't lied! I ain't think you had it in you! And that's without stretchin'.
And without stretching.
- Shoot! - Yeah.
That's not so bad.
That's not so bad for a regular dude.
"Regular"? Wait, wait.
Well, hold on.
What you what you mean, regular? What the hell's that supposed to mean? Oh, no, I'm just sayin', like, you Oh, come on, man.
I'm a I'm a professional athlete.
You can't think that we're on different Listen, you did good, man.
You you should be proud of yourself.
This was I'm a I I was in the NFL? The national Okay let's see what you got, then.
You oh, you serious.
- Yeah, I'm serious.
- Okay.
Tsk.
Nice shot.
- I know.
- Yeah, Ash, he knows.
You know, you all really ain't gotta talk to me.
- Like, we can just shoot pool.
- Hey, I'm on your side, man.
Anyone who gives Spence a tough time is good with me.
- Yo, what is up with that? - I'm kidding.
Relax.
Hey, it's about time.
Get this over with, man.
So why don't we just take a selfie, tell coach we played pool all night? - Yeah.
- Or you guys - could actually play pool.
- Not a bad idea.
That way, you wouldn't have to lie to my dad.
What do you guys say, huh? Beverly versus Crenshaw? We could do 50 bucks a game? I'm down.
Badda bing, badda boom.
Rack 'em up.
All right.
15 reps at 235.
Impressive.
Well, I coulda done more if I'd, uh, stretched.
- Showoff.
- Oh Well, this is this is the NFL strength, baby.
You want to touch it? Touch this.
Feel it.
All right.
Heh heh! It's all good, man.
I spent half half my life in the gym.
Yeah, well, I came here once in high school, and I couldn't even lift the bar.
For real? Damn.
I remember you being small, but not that small.
Well, I was, and for some reason, my mom insisted that I dress like Urkel, but the cool one.
There was a cool Urkel? Yeah! Stefan Urquelle? He wore the white blazer, sometimes a vest? What? - You're being serious? - Yeah.
Oh, well, I I gotta see this.
Look, there's gotta be there's a yearbook in there somewhere.
Hey, girl, I'm in love with your body and I can't get I don't think she's let him get a word in all night.
- Think that he need rescuin'? - Oh, I think he just rescued himself.
Oh, boy.
- Oh, let's go.
- Where? - I don't want her to see us.
- Oh.
Okay.
No, thank you.
Hey! Grace! Give me a minute.
I'm comin'.
Are you sure I can't get you anything? Oh, no, thanks.
Water's fine.
I don't want to be a burden.
You're not a burden.
So, Carrie, how long are you staying with Layla? Until she kicks me out.
Ha ha! Kidding.
I'm, um, I'm still figuring things out.
And your your parents are cool with that? Um, Carrie's parents are kind of like my dad, M.
I.
A.
-ish.
That's how we first connected.
I know that a treatment center isn't the best place for a meet/cute, but if it wasn't for Layla, I never would have gotten through it.
I feel the same way about you.
Um, well, it's it's great that you guys had each other.
I mean, I know how hard recovery can be from personal experience.
That's right.
Layla told me about it.
Congrats on your recovery.
Well, Liv is one of the strongest people I know.
I love how you two are still there for each other, despite everything, you know? Stolen boyfriends and drunken outbursts be damned.
That is real sisterhood.
Carrie.
I told you that in confidence.
I'm sorry.
I was I was trying to pay her a compliment, and it it just came out totally wrong.
I'll I'll go apologize.
This round's on me - Hey.
- Actually, I'm not a shots person.
Well, I didn't think you were a singles-night kinda person, either, yet here you are.
Heh! And with Laura Baker, no less, so what is this, battle of Billy's exes? Rrowrr! Heh! Actually, a shot sounds good right about now.
- Okay.
- Uh, we we were just talking business.
We were about to go.
And waste this good liquor? Oh, hell no.
Look, I love my kids, but the baby-sitter is paid until midnight, and she gonna earn every penny of it.
We drinkin'.
Scooch.
Guess I I I guess we could I can stay a little.
My daughter kinda just kicked me out of the house anyway.
Heh! Yeah, Spencer pushed me out, too.
Sometimes I think him and Dillon are plottin' against me.
Well, I am so glad you two called me over! Always whisperin' to each other.
I know they up to somethin'.
You know, I don't normally do singles nights, but my psychic said tonight I'd find the connection I've been searching for.
Too bad he turned out to be a total loser, but, hey, you know, sometimes you just gotta take a chance and go for it, even if it doesn't work out.
I can't be wastin' all of this.
Heh! Besides, it beats sittin' at home, feelin' sorry for myself.
You know what? The night's still young.
We have time to find you a man, right, Grace? - We gonna need more drinks.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
It has all come down to this, Jordan.
Could not have said it better myself, Ash.
Here we go.
Now, will Spencer James become the hometown hero for the kids, or will he live his life in shame? If he ever quit chalkin' his cue, maybe we'd find out.
Mmm.
Man, take the damn shot already.
Take it when I'm ready.
- Ahem.
- Here we go, - as he lines up the shot.
- Uh-huh.
- Ooh! - How the hell you miss that?! Same way you missed the last one and the one before that.
Nah, nah, you didn't just miss.
Your ass lost the damn game! Well, maybe I needed more chalk! Ahem.
Hmm.
Don't mind me, just enjoyin' the show.
Fellas.
You friends, brothers.
Come on.
We're happy to give you a chance to win your money back.
What do you say, Spence, Frausto double or nothin'? Rack 'em.
All right, where are we at here? - Oh - Ah, ha ha! - Oh, my God.
- Look at his teeth! - Ha ha ha! - Oh, boy! You were not lyin'.
- I told you.
- Ooh.
Ha ha ha! Man, lookin' at that picture makes me want to kick my own ass.
Ha ha ha! But, look, my mom coulda chose Fresh Prince, - Martin, hell, even Dwayne Wayne.
- Nope.
No, no, she had to go with Urkel.
Ha ha ha ha! Oh.
I got lucky; My mom had a sense of style.
She had me wear a tie on test days.
She believed in, um, dressing for success.
You know she used to work here, right? Yeah, yeah, I know.
I spent a lot of time with her.
Easy.
I'm I'm serious.
Mrs.
Baker was my favorite teacher.
Billy, you you probably can't tell by lookin' at that picture, but I didn't have a lot of friends, so heh! she let me hang out with her at lunchtime.
For real? She's one of the reasons why I got into education.
Huh.
I did not know that.
And I'm not surprised.
That's just that's just who she was, always lookin' out for other people.
To Mrs.
Baker.
To Mrs.
Baker.
- I got that - Hey! Mmm.
- Whew! - Oh.
- Okay.
- Let's find me a man, a fine brother.
And just remember my 6-foot rule.
If I find any deal-breakers, he cannot get within 6 feet of me.
I have no problem swipin' left.
It's a dating-app thing.
It means "hell no".
Okay.
Oh, what about him? - Nice style.
- Bad hair.
If he can't groom himself up there, - who knows what's hidden - Oh.
Eww.
Uh Well, he he's he's handsome.
Too short.
Next! What about him? He's tall, good hair.
Toe walker.
No, thank you.
Uh you wouldn't happen to like the bartender, do you? Oh, girl, only that he serves us drinks, speakin' of which, I got next.
- Can't get any easier than this.
- They haven't stopped all night.
Even I'm startin' to feel bad for 'em.
- Mm-mmm.
- Ahem.
Not a damn word, James.
How 'bout two? You suck.
Oh, my - Whoo! - Geez.
Hey, that's what you get when you grow up with a pool table in your game room.
So y'all hustlin' me.
Nobody hustlin' you, man.
They beat us straight up.
"They", right, like you ain't in on it? Yeah, wait till I leave, then split the money up with your boys? Yeah.
Yeah, we splittin' the 50 bucks you lost and gettin' a private jet.
Private jet.
You know what, Beverly? You keep it.
Y'all see what I'm dealin' with? Does he remind you of anybody else when they first came to Beverly, Ash? Y'all trippin'.
I was never like him.
No Overly competitive, chip on his shoulder, hates to lose, feels like he has somethin' to prove - sound familiar? - And you know what? He probably looks at us the same way you used to.
I mean, entitled rich kids who think we're better than everyone else? I'd think you, more than anyone, would have some empathy for him.
Frausto, Frausto, hold up, man.
Nah, nah, I shoulda been knowin' you Beverly boys was playin' me.
You gotta squash all that Beverly nonsense, man.
I'm Crenshaw all day, period.
Ah, you ain't just Crenshaw no more, and you know it.
Now, look, I'm out 50 bucks, and that may not be a lot to you, but to me, that's money, money to help my moms and my little sis.
- Why'd you bet? - 'Cause I I thought I could beat 'em.
Besides, ain't no way I was gonna give those country-club kids the satisfaction of knowin' that I couldn't afford it.
So what? This this funny to you? No, man.
I'm just realizin' we more alike than I thought, so let's go win our money back.
Come on.
- I I already lost enough tonight.
- Then we won't lose.
They think they got us beat 'cause we've been beefin' all night.
We can't go out like that.
My skill, your chalk Can't lose.
That's what I'm talkin' about.
Let's do it.
Ooh.
Oh Wow.
What is it now? - Small hands, big nose? - Flat ass? Wedding ring.
Oh.
Oh.
Gosh, I'm sorry I'm bein' so difficult tonight.
I didn't used to be this picky.
I My priorities have just changed, you know? I got to start thinkin' about my kids now.
It was hard enough tryin' to find someone when it was just my daughter, but After my sister passed, I took in her girls, too.
I had no idea.
Oh, girl, yeah.
That's why I had to send homeboy packin' earlier.
He freaked out when he found out I had 3 kids at home.
I need someone who's gonna stick around, someone who loves the idea of the whole package, of me and my girls.
You know what? You're right.
None of these guys are good enough for you.
Especially the toe Walker.
Especially him.
No more wastin' time on mediocre men.
Tonight, we celebrate exceptional women.
- Aw.
Yay.
- Cheers to that.
- Cheers.
Ha ha ha! - Mmm.
Hold up You dated Grace James? Yup.
'Course you did.
I remember bein' at your games.
I always wondered what it felt like to be so popular, everyone losin' their minds when you ran out on the field.
And when you got the ball, the cheers were deafening.
Yeah, well, so were the boos at away games.
Least you got in the game; Only way I got on the field was at halftime when the band played.
From what I remember, South Crenshaw band was legit, so you must have been pretty pretty good back then.
Still am.
Oh is that so? Sorry if I upset you.
I know things are still a little off with you and Lay.
Believe it or not, I thought I was helping by pointing out the sisterhood and everything you guys have overcome.
Right.
Well, um, me and "Lay" don't need your help.
Seriously? Heh! - Mm-hmm.
- I mean, if I'm being honest, your friendship is borderline toxic.
Well, you know nothing about us.
I know plenty.
Heh! I mean, when I met Layla at the hospital, she was broken and alone, and now she's back here with the same friends that let it all happen.
Okay, well, um, not that I really need to explain any of this to you, um, but I didn't "let" anything happen.
It was quite the opposite, actually, because I got her help.
She got herself help.
Layla is my best friend.
I love her, and she loves me.
Our friendship isn't perfect, but it's real.
And things wouldn't still be a little "off" between us if we had just had a chance to spend some time together alone, which is what tonight was supposed to be.
You want me to leave? No, it's fine.
We don't have to like each other, but maybe we should just Play nice and, um, just get through the evening, for Layla's sake.
Okay for Layla.
- Okay.
- Go.
Ha ha ha ha! What you laughin' at? They're just stairs, man.
Heh! - Feelin' the alcohol already.
- Ha ha ha ha! Ah.
Do you want me to get up here? - Uh, no, no.
Please don't.
- I can do it.
Okay.
All right.
Um, ladies and gentlemen D'Angelo Carter.
Thanks.
You sure you don't need to stretch out? - I got it, all right? - Okay.
- Okay.
- Still got it.
- All right.
- Hmm.
Uh, ahem.
I know you want to leave me But I refuse to let you go If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me - Ain't too proud to beg - Whoo! Yeah! Sweet darlin' - Please don't leave me, girl - Ha ha ha! - Swipe to the right! - Don't raise that thumb! - Ha ha ha ha! - Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby Please don't leave me, girl - Let's do it.
- Yes.
Now I heard a cryin' man - Is half a man - Oh, my God.
With no sense of pride But if I have to cry to keep you - I don't mind weepin' - Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo.
- Not careful enough.
- If it'll keep you By my side, ain't too proud to beg - that's what I'm talkin' about.
- Sweet darlin' - Oh, no.
- Please don't leave me, girl Spencer, you miss this shot right here, and I'm gonna run the table.
Well, he ain't gonna miss, so you're just gonna have to stick to runnin' your mouth.
Yeah, that's that Crenshaw confidence right there, and he's right.
I ain't gonna miss.
If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day Just to keep you from walkin' away Let your friends laugh That's what I'm talkin' about.
I think that's game.
You want to get paid? - I want to get paid.
- Yeah, let's get that back.
Come on.
- Ha ha ha ha! - Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin' Please don't leave me, girl Don't you go Ain't too proud to please Baby, baby Please don't leave me, girl, don't you know? Ah, ah, ah All right! All right.
Thank you.
Thank you! Thank you very much! Who knew? We should go on the road oh! Whoo! You were right.
I do feel better.
Okay.
That hurt.
Hey, um, I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have told her that stuff.
I just I kinda got into over sharing at the center.
If anyone should be apologizing, it's me, okay? We'll work through this, Layla.
We always do.
Hey, I'm gonna take off.
I'm not feeling too well all of a sudden.
Oh, um, I'll take you.
Let me just grab my keys.
It's fine.
I already called an Uber.
Tonight was supposed to just be the two of you anyway.
It was nice to finally meet you.
Thanks for putting up with me tonight.
Anytime.
Feel better.
I'll see you at home? Mm-hmm.
Good game, guys.
Hey, Crenshaw brings it when it counts.
Yup.
I think we all know that's not the case.
You know I got the same ring, right? Too bad it says Beverly.
Well, my next one gonna say south Crenshaw.
Yeah, you can bet on that.
Yeah, well, betting doesn't really seem to be your thing tonight, Frausto.
I mean, you spent all night chasin' your own money, and the best you could do was break even.
So how 'bout we fix that in one game for all the money? - Rack 'em up.
- No, no, I ain't talkin' about pool.
I got somethin' else in mind.
What is this William tell crap? Yo, I hit that cup ten times out of ten from here.
Are you sure you don't want me to back up, give these guys a fighting chance? No, no, you're fine where you are.
This game ain't just about skill.
It's about trust, too; Ash has gotta trust that you gonna hit the cup and not his pretty face.
And the kid might be seein' double since his concussion, you know, so I don't know.
Why can't we just hold the cups with our hands, you know, like Yo, Spence, why do you even trust this dude? He's not even a quarterback.
Oh, I ain't gonna miss.
Now, it's my job to make him look good.
Jordan, you want a few practice throws - without me standin' here, just to - Asher, come on, man.
Ten times outta ten.
Trust me.
You better hope so, 'cause that dude's got a Cannon.
You ever seen Donald Driver's hands? His fingers were mangled from catchin' Brett Favre's passes.
Okay, well, Jordan isn't exactly Brett Favre.
Jordan, don't throw the ball too hard.
Just Ash, would you relax? I'm a quarterback.
I know how to throw the football, okay? And if Brett Favre can break Donald Driver's fingers from 30 yards away, imagine what J gonna do to your face from 20 feet away? Whew! Okay.
Asher! That's what I'm talkin' about.
All day, baby, all day! That's what I'm talkin' about.
Ha ha ha! Damn.
What made you finally do it? It's bad enough that you're an NFL star that dated Grace James, okay, but after hearin' you sing? Nah, nah.
That that was just too much.
That's fair.
That's fair.
Is is there anything that you aren't good at? Marriage, apparently.
Really? Yeah.
Marriage was actually the one thing I was good at.
- Hmm.
For real? - Yeah, but, listen, I haven't been on a date since my wife passin'.
Hell, I wouldn't even know where to start.
- For real? - Yeah.
Well, you could start by asking Grace out on a date.
Don't be actin' all surprised.
I see how you flirt with her.
I don't blame you.
She she's a good woman.
- No, she's a great woman.
- A great woman.
But I don't know if she's interested.
Well, only way to find out is to text her.
Yeah.
- So - Now? Yes.
One thing about Grace, she don't play games.
If she likes you, she's gonna let you know.
What you gonna text? Uh it's a poem by Langston Hughes.
- What? - You Yeah.
Oh.
Oh, hell no.
Give me that.
- What are you doing? - A poem by - "Love is a ripe plum".
- Yeah.
Um, do you or do you not want to go on a date with Grace? - Yes.
- Well, let me just handle this part.
My text game is fire.
"Love is a" Woke up feelin' dangerous Ha ha ha ha! - Ah.
- Ha ha ha! - Mm-hmm.
- D'Angelo Carter? - Ooh.
- Well, damn, Grace! Ain't nothin' changed since high school.
How do you always end up with such beautiful brothers? You must have one fine gine.
- Oh, my god! - Ha ha! - He's just saying hi.
- Uh-huh.
No, he said, "Sup?" That ain't just sayin' hi.
- It definitely isn't.
- Well, what am I missin'? Oh, Grace, oh, my gosh.
When a man says, "sup?" It's not like, "what's up?" It's like "Sup?" - Ha ha! - It's true; Billy used to "sup" me all the time when we were dating.
Oh.
His text game is strong.
- Ha ha! - Yeah, what's the deal between the two of you anyway? Like, is it really over? It's complicated.
Translation: You still like him.
Yeah, I mean, I love him.
We were married for years.
I just don't know if that's enough.
- How did we get onto me and Billy? - You know what? - You are right.
You are right.
- Back to Grace gettin' her some of that d - Oh! - Angelo.
Oh, okay.
We are just friends.
Translation: She likes him.
Yeah, of course she does, but, hey, don't take too long to respond - 'cause men are fragile.
- Mm-hmm.
Ain't that the truth? I am so glad I ran into you girls tonight.
I needed this.
You know what? I did, too.
You know what? Maybe maybe this, you know - Yeah? - The three of us, was that connection your psychic was tellin' you about.
- Oh.
- Yeah? Yeah, there's yeah, yup.
Uh, okay.
But I still need a man, though.
Oh, we tried to find you a man.
"I'm swipin' to the left!" - Ha ha ha ha! - Swipin' all of L.
A.
! But seriously.
Realized she was being tested by god.
What would you do if you woke up and you saw yourself at the end of your bed, talking like this? "Wake up, Layla.
I want more cheese puffs".
Um, I would I would get me more cheese puffs.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, as long as they're not the frozen ones, right? Hope Carrie's okay.
I'm sure she's fine.
Ahem.
Okay, so how well do you really know her? I mean, are you sure it's a good idea for her to be crashing at your place? Why wouldn't it be? I don't know.
I just get a weird vibe from her.
Does this vibe have anything to do with the fact that she was at a mental rehab center? You know I was there, too, right? Of course not.
I know you're trying to help, but, um, Carrie's just a lonely person who needed a friend, and she came to me.
In fact, I probably shouldn't have let her go home alone, so I think I should just go.
Well, wait.
Layla, I I I'm I'm sorry.
Can we at least just finish the movie? Um, thank you, but I think you were right earlier.
The night is kinda ruined.
- All you had to do was stand still.
- Dude, Spence was getting in my head.
Better me than the football.
- See? He's still doin' it.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, your toss was dead-on.
You keep throwin' darts like that, we definitely gonna - see you in the championship.
- Yeah, I hope so.
Okay, well, on that note, we are outta here.
We're bouncin'.
Spence.
Thanks for not missing.
Hey, you didn't move, not a inch.
I really didn't think you trusted me like that.
I trusted that takin' money from a couple country-club kids meant more to you than knockin' my teeth out.
At least I hoped it did.
I mean, barely.
You know, tonight really wasn't so bad.
Maybe coach Baker was on to something with this.
Yeah, well, we survived it.
It's a start, right? You know, your boys wasn't so bad, either.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
They talk a lotta trash, but, you know, I can respect that.
Y'all seem pretty tight.
Yeah, they family.
Family? So, if it come down to south Crenshaw against Beverly in the championship, what family you gonna stand with? Who'd I stand with tonight? You're gonna have to trust me.
Heh! Yeah, I guess I will.
I'll catch you on the field, James.
All right, man.
Any word from, uh, from Grace? Let's see.
Oh Ahem.
Whew.
I shoulda texted the poem, Billy.
- Aw, man.
- "Aw, man".
- Don't take it personal.
- Don't take it pers but it's easy for you to say.
Feel like I'm back in high school, watchin' from the sidelines.
- Look - Be nice to get in the game for once.
That can only happen look, that can only happen if you take a chance and you put yourself out there, and that is what you did tonight, so you should be proud of yourself.
What? I've never had a pep talk from a coach before.
Well, hey, that's that's how it feels.
Are we good? Are we good, Mayweather? I think so, Usher.
Ha ha! Oh, look, please, can you not can you not tell anybody about that? Tell them Billy Baker's great at yet another thing? I can't have my team bustin' my balls.
- It's not gonna happen.
- All right.
- Trust me.
- Thank you.
All right, look, man.
I got I gotta go.
All right.
The, uh Ooh, is that Grace? Hey! You are in the game, bruh! Hey.

- Yes, sir.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- Yes? - Take it easy, Billy.
- Yes.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Sir! - In the game.
- I'm in the game, coach.

Oh.
Do you know what time it is? Hey, sweetie.
Mom, where have you been? Dillon and I was worried.

Ha ha ha ha! Ma? Damn.
I'm just gonna have my chee What's up, sis? You and Layla have fun tonight? Not really.
Have you met her friend Carrie? - No.
- Huh.
Did you notice I didn't ask if she was hot? Well, it's because I'm a happy, soon-to-be-married-again man.
Anyway, I don't know.
Something is just seriously wrong with her, and Layla either just doesn't see it or doesn't want to.
- You worry too much.
- You always say that.
Yup, and it never gets through.
Nope.
Mom, are you okay? Hi.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to wake you guys up.
I just bumped into the lamp.
Heh! I'm so glad that you suggested I went out with with Grace tonight.
