No, it's fine.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Let's Let's just get it over with.
I mean, since he's already here.
Okay.
Oh, hey, uh But like, if, you know, you decide that you want to change your mind, just say so.
Okay.
You know, we got a lot going on, and renovations are so much work.
Yeah.
They are.
I don't know what we were even thinking.
Cookies! Let me that sonogram again.
This is definitely a boy.
Look at his penis.
That boy is packin' heat! - Dre! - What? That's his face! Oh.
Well, he's adorable.
Like his momma.
Yeah, we do make some pretty cute babies.
- Mm-hmm.
- Perhaps too many of them? You guys have a lot of children.
Yeah.
I mean, where's this one even gonna fit? Listen, if we're gonna renovate anything in this house, we are starting with the kitchen.
We've been talking about it forever.
And look.
See? Look at this drawer.
- I can't even get it out.
- Okay, baby.
Or we could just fix the drawer.
Or we could just get a new kitchen.
Finally! Whoo! The blue was a definite design misstep.
- What? - And I mean, come on.
- Granite countertops? - Yea Pfft.
Okay.
Guys, the kitchen is the heart of the home.
Get your bars up.
Get your bars up, Dre.
- Okay.
- What does that even mean? I am not mad at a new kitchen.
Oooh.
Oooh Oh, oh, oh! Hm? We could design it together.
You mean converge our flawless independent styles into perfect-balanced dopeness? Could be fun.
- Mm! - Could be fun.
Could be very fun Well, somewhere in all of this is our new kitchen.
Yeah, well how do we find it? Just pick what we like.
Can't be that hard.
Mm.
If anyone can knock this out, it's us.
Well, yeah, they're both cool, but if you're asking my opinion, the marble one is doper.
Food and wine stain marble really easily, though.
Yeah? Well, then you're just gonna have to stay on top of the dishes for a change.
Well, I was just thinking we would take, like a like a big swing, you know? Mm.
- You didn't like copper? - Eh, maybe.
But, you know, I just thought we would go with something a little bit more contemporary, you know, - like like a farmhouse style.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, with one big, giant sink bowl.
Yeah, but, you know, with two sink bowls, you can put the dirty dishes on one side and then move them to the other side when you're scrubbing the food off.
Yeah.
But you don't do dishes, - so why should you care.
- Okay.
You know, look, let's just, uh back away from the sinks for now.
Good idea.
Let's just focus on the overall decor, and the right sink is just gonna - It'll find us.
- Exactly.
You know I'll guess what I think you want your dream kitchen to look like.
Okay.
And then I'll do you.
- Okay.
- That'll be fun.
All right, look at this right here.
Start with that here.
Yeah, I think you'll like that.
Yeah, it's nice.
If you If you like that.

It's a little bohemian for my taste.

Boom.
Green is your favorite color.

I can order you another one.
Junior, it took two hours for this to get here.
Just forget it.
I just want my kitchen back.
Why is the refrigerator in the family room? See, this why they say don't stay at home during renovations.
This is why I said I wanted to stay in a hotel.
I cannot live like this.
- Baby? - Hey, baby.
- I'm hungry.
- Oooh.
Should we go pick up the kids from your mom's and then grab dinner? Don't trip, my little white-chocolate chip.
All right? Big Daddy got you dinner.

Unh-unh.

It is so bad for you.
Ramen, milady? Ahhhh! I love it so much! I'ma get noodle music.
You get noodle music.
Noodle music.
Oh, look at that.
I'm like a DJ, huh? - Come on, get up on the counter.

- No one ever said It would be this hard Mm! Oh, take me back to the start - You got it? - Yeah.
All right, one last time.
- Bam.
- It's cold.
It's sexy.
- N - You know what? Just tell me what sink you want.
I told you what I want.
You're not listening.
It's just like the flowers all over again.
What about flowers? I told you I like flowers, but you don't listen to what I want.
You want to know why I don't bring flowers? Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Keep your eyes closed! They're closed! Open them! Check it out! Prepare to be swept off your feet.
- I'm ready.
- Voilà ! - That is hilarious.
- Mm-hmm.
That is hilarious! Oh, my God! You went through all these Post-its - Uh-huh.
- so I could get to one little rose! I know, huh? Oh, my God, we have the same sense of humor! - That is so funny.
It was like - Wasn't a joke.
It was like all this buildup.
All this buildup, and I was like, "Oh, my God, this Post-it!" I obviously didn't mean to embarrass you.
I thought we were joking.
I-I I I'm sorry.
I appreciate your apology.
You could've gotten it a long time ago.
If you hadn't held it in this whole time, just carrying around your anger like you do.
- Oh, here we go.
- What? Bow, I do not always carry around anger! Okay, Dre.
Okay.
You just did.
Like Like when I picked that movie.
What? Dre, a couple of months ago, you got so angry when I picked that movie that you didn't like, and you haven't let me pick a movie ever since.
You said it was supposed to be good.
I said I heard the movie was good.
No, you said, and I quote, "Jennifer Lawrence? Oscar bait.
" Whatever! It was one bad movie.
That you dragged me to on my only free Saturday in months.
I dragged you to it? Really, Dre? So now us spending time together is me dragging you places? Look, all you had to do was admit that you knew nothing about the movie, and we could've seen something else.
But no, you can never admit to not knowing anything because you have to know everything.
Just like a few years ago.
Oh, you're bringing up old arguments? - Yes.
I am.
- Okay.
- Is that a problem? - Yes, it's a problem, Dre! 'Cause I have no idea what we're fighting about! I literally have no idea what you want from me right now! I don't want anything from you! I was just trying to buy a sink! Oh, my God.
And you go all in about flowers.
Oh, so now this argument's my fault? - Yes.
- This is my fault? Yes, it's your fault.
And it's all good, because according to you, everything else is my fault.
I always admit when I don't know something.
- When you're being a know-it-all? - All the time.
- Did you just call me arrogant? - You are.
Me?! Arrogant?! Oh, my God.
Okay? What about it?! Oh, my God.
It's Jack's footprint.
Yeah.
I almost forgot about that.
He stepped in finger paint.
You can pick the sink.
Do what you want in the kitchen.
I don't care anymore.
Mama? What's wrong, baby? Wh-Why you sleeping out here? Oh, I You and Pops had a fight, huh? Oh, sweetie, we just hit a bit of a rough patch.
That's all.
You come on over here and sit down.
Sometimes it's hard for adults to share a life.
Why? Well, me and your daddy got married so young.
It's not easy.
You make this insane choice to love someone for who they are before you've even figured out who you are yourself, let alone who either of you are gonna grow up to become, you know? Who did you and Pops grow up to become? Different.
Y-Yeah, but in in a good way.
Sometimes.
Sometimes not.
But we're choosing to see the good.
Marriage is about choices.
You got to keep choosing each other.
Even when you're not sure it's the right choice.
Do you and Pops love each other? Oh, yes.
But the trick is to keep falling in love with each other.
Falling in love seems rough.
It's the best thing you'll ever do.
You just got to be careful that the person you fall in love with is worth it to you.
Okay? Okay.
Hey, Junior.
What time are you picking us today? I don't know.
Whenever you're gonna be ready.
Well, I got to stay late.
So probably around 3:00 pm.
Whoa, Dad.
You're up early again.
Yes, I am.
Who wants Pop-Tarts? I love a Tart as much as the next man, but five mornings in a row? Morning, guys.
- Morning.
- Good morning.
I'm Dre.
Rainbow.
Thank God.
- Oh, thank God.
- Bam! Oh thank God.
Kiss your bride! I love what I have with you.
Works for me.
We're pregnant.
My God.
Oh! Uh-huh, if you could just, uh take your jeans off right now.
Okay, give me some.
Give me some.
- I can see him! - He's here, babe! - He's here! - Oh, it's Devante! Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
I got a midnight snack for the both of us.
Ramen, milady? Oh.
No thanks.
That stuff is terrible for you.
It's filled with sodium.
I can't eat those.
My bad.
W Dre What? We can't keep doing this.
I think, um we need space.
I think you're right.
Well, that's the first thing we've managed to agree on in a while.
When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want - But not what you need - So, uh You when you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse - Lights will guide you home - How the hell did we get here? - I don't know.
- And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you I'm the oldest! I get the biggest room! No fair, Zoey! Oh, babe, I can't believe all of this is ours.
Me either.
This is crazy.
Crazy.
How the hell did we get here? I don't know.
- What's going on with us? - I don't know.
It's like we're not connecting.
Maybe we should go back to couple's therapy.
Remember you're on the same team.

- And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you I'm the oldest! I get the biggest room! No fair, Zoey! Oh, babe, I can't believe all of this is ours.
Me either.
This is crazy.
Crazy.
How the hell did we get here? I don't know.
