- Ouch!
Oh my god.
- Hey.
I see you're running
every morning.
I wanted to know,
maybe we can work out
one of these days together.
- No, thank you though,
have a good day.
- You too.
- Amari, baby, you up?
Amari.
Get up.
Right on time.
Good morning, my love.
- Good morning.
- Happy birthday.
How do you feel?
- Old.
Well, you look the same.
- Thanks, Q.
Do I smell bacon?
- Yes.
- Oh.
- And French toast.
- Oh!
- Welcome to the
"Dirty 30 Club."
- Oh, oh my God.
Can I rescind my offer?
- No, silly, you can't.
I know you wanted pancakes
but this is what they had.
The rest of the day
will go as planned.
And that reminds me,
I have a list of some things
I need you to pick up.
Just a few things
but I think it'll be
good for you to do that.
You know, get some air,
take shower, put
on some clothes,
get some exercise in.
- Okay.
- Oh, guess what?
- What?
- A driver is coming to
meet us at 9AM tomorrow.
- To go where?
- It's a surprise.
I planned a whole
weekend getaway for us.
Gonna be blast.
- Great.
- Ah!
sh*t.
Amari, baby,
These damn earrings are
going to be the death of me.
You need to start taking
care of your things.
What if this were expensive
or a family heirloom
or something?
Luckily, they're fake.
- Sorry.
- So here's the deal.
The caterer will arrive at five,
our friends should come
for dinner around seven
for a party of eight,
which will include
Sam...
and...
Glenn,
Tess and Shelly
and Philip and Serenity.
Though they may not
show up because, well...
Philip asked me to be
his divorce lawyer.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Gratefully, they
don't have kids,
which I think is what
this is all about.
Serenity not wanting
them and lying about
not being on birth control
when she really was.
Phillip's a mess.
12, 13 years.
I hope they work it out.
- Do we have to have this party?
- You only turn 30 once.
- I know but there's just
nothing to celebrate.
- Another year of life is.
Another day, another
minute, even.
- I'm just not in the mood.
- Okay.
What's wrong?
Talk to me.
- I just feel like I'm
further from my purpose
than I want to be.
- Purpose, what, what's that?
- I don't know.
That's my point.
- Amari,
my point is, you don't have
to have it all figured out.
Some people search their whole
lifetimes for their purpose.
- Says a guy who's about
to be the youngest partner
at his firm at the age of 35.
Isn't today the big day?
- Mm-hmm, and it hasn't
happened just yet.
But let's discuss you
and your plan after
our getaway, yeah?
- We could use some fun.
- Yes, we could.
- At least tell me
where we're going.
- It's a surprise.
You'll know tomorrow morning
when the driver comes.
- Well, how am I
supposed to pack?
Is there gonna be a beach?
- Yes, it's
a whole island.
- Q, I don't feel like
getting on a plane.
- Amari, there's
no plane involved.
- Just tell me where
we're going, please.
- Baby, you know I hate
keeping secrets from you
but this one is
one that I have to
and that is the plan.
- You and these plans.
At least tell me there's
gonna be bike riding.
- Long bike rides
up down the beach.
All your favorite activities
have been organized
and scheduled.
Ooh.
- Thank you.
Thank you for making this old
man feel good on his birthday,
even though I told you not to.
- Eat babe.
- Hey, Nana.
Oh no, I'm good, I'm good.
I'm just having
breakfast in bed.
Thank you.
Yeah, he's here.
Yeah, he's getting ready
for his big interview.
Yeah, I hope he gets it too.
Nana sends her
prayers or whatever.
Oh, okay.
Here.
- Eat, baby.
Hi, good morning.
How are, uh-huh.
Hey look, I'm sorry
I didn't get a chance
to text you last
night, we had a late...
Oh, nothing, nothing like that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well I'll let you know how
it goes today, all right?
Okay.
I'll talk to you later.
Love you.
Bye.
- Yep.
Oh.
No, nothing yet.
Go back to school, Nana,
I am in way too
much debt already
and I don't even
want to be a doctor.
A dentist?
No, I'll figure it out.
Yes, I know I'm getting older.
Oh.
Oh, maybe this card is from you.
Nana, no, this is way too much.
No, thank you, I appreciate
it but this is far too much.
Yes, I read the card!
Nana, now you know that I
cannot believe in anything
that I cannot touch or see.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna let you go,
I'm trying to finish breakfast
and I want to get him
nice and full, you know?
Ew, no, not like that.
Okay, all right, I love you
too, I'll talk to you later.
All right.
Bye.
- Bye, Nana.
- Ugh, she needs to stop
worrying about our sex life
and focus more on hers.
- At least she has one.
- Gross.
Is that what y'all text about?
- Not entirely.
- Ew, ew.
- If you must know, Nana
has some gentlemen suitors.
- Oh, I don't even wanna
think about Nana getting some
or whatever "some"
is at her age.
- The truth is the truth.
- Mmm.
Maybe I should become
Dr. Amari Lewis.
- I mean,
it does sound pretty good.
You know what
sounds even better?
Dr. Amari Nichols
and Q Nichols, Esquire,
partner at Bedford and Brockton.
- I can see Nana now.
"Look at my boys, the
lawyer and the dentist."
You know,
I am...
just like,
I only got like a year
left of dental school.
Maybe I could reapply.
But it is super competitive.
- It's simple.
Decide who you're going
to be, then be it.
Do it and then you'll have it.
Q,
partner,
that's who I want to be.
- Hmm.
- So,
are we having this party or not?
- I mean, you went through
all this trouble planning it.
I don't wanna
disappoint anybody.
- I mean, I could let the
people know you, you know,
had diarrhea or something.
Maybe that'll convince
them not to show up.
- It's very hard to
say no to you, Q.
- Good.
So don't.
I have another surprise for you.
- Surprise, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
I said I didn't want any
gifts, any more surprises,
I don't deserve it.
- It's as much for
me as it is for you.
I said I wanted to
be partner by 35
and partner by 35...
and husband and father by 40.
I want to spend the rest
of my life with you.
Will you do me the honor
of letting me call
you my husband?
- We said we wouldn't
pop the question
on birthdays or holidays.
- I know.
I bought the ring a while ago.
Mexico, really,
but then that thing
happened and it just
never seemed like to
be the right time.
I was going to do it later
on tonight during karaoke
and Nana even thought it
was a good idea but...
- I just need some time.
Can I take the day
to figure it out?
- What is there to figure out
unless you don't want
to be my husband?
- Well, how can
I be your husband
if I don't have
anything to offer you?
I have no plan,
no job,
no purpose.
- Amari, a job doesn't
define your purpose.
- That's easy for you to say.
I'm sure you have
your whole future
and funeral detailed
and designed.
- I don't have it
planned that far.
- I don't even have
any responsibilities.
- You don't
take responsibility.
- I don't have to pay any bills.
I don't even...
Ugh.
- I can take care of us,
I like taking care of us.
And if you must know,
I have an emergency
stash just in case
you want to go back to school,
dentist.
- I haven't even
had my teeth cleaned
in the last year, I don't
even have dental insurance.
- Well, if you said "yes",
I can put you on my plan.
- I don't wanna say
"yes" out of convenience.
- Say "yes" out of love.
There will always be...
pits...
and peaks...
and...
I know that I want to
go through those pits
and those peaks with you.
And all I'm asking
is that you think about
going on those pits
and peaks with me.
sh*t!
I'm late.
We'll talk about
it when I get back.
Is that a plan?
- Yeah.
- Good.
How do I look?
- b*mb.
I've always loved you in pink.
- Mmm.
Take the day.
We'll talk about
this when I get back.
Oh!
Before I forget.
These are the few
things I need you
to pick up from this store.
- You said a few items, this
is a whole list of stuff.
- Responsibility.
- Okay.
- Now, come on, get up.
Let me show you
this living room.
So,
I might have gone all out.
I laid out everything.
The caterer's gonna set up
a table of eight over here,
kind of on a diagonal,
and then we move the coffee
table into the bedroom
and then we move this table
over when it's time for games,
a little karaoke and
opening up your presents.
Sounds fun, right?
Let me know how you're feeling.
Use your words, babe.
- It's...
It's a bit much.
- Okay?
Well, I'll scale it back when
I get home a little later.
You like the colors
at least, yeah?
- Yes, yes, I like the
colors a whole lot.
I appreciate everything
you're doing for me.
- You're welcome.
You deserve it.
Uh-uh.
- Well, you better get going.
- You're right.
Next time you see me,
maybe I'll be a partner
and your partner.
Bye.
- Have a good day, love you.
- Love you too.
Did you just hear that?
- Yeah, what was that?
- "Stay inside.
"There's been an unknown
expl*si*n in the area."
- expl*si*n, what
kind of expl*si*n?
I don't know but I
need to call Nana.
- I need to call the office.
My phone isn't working.
- Mine neither.
- Oh, I'm scared.
- Mmm.
Me too.
- If you're
tuning into this broadcast,
God bless you and
God bless America.
I come to you with tragic
news in New York City.
An unidentified blast has
devastated Time Square.
Authorities have yet to
confirm the extent of damage
or the parties responsible
for the att*ck.
Mayor Watts has issued
a mandatory lockdown
for at least the next 24 hours.
We recommend locating
your emergency...
- What just happened?
- I think we lost power.
- Oh God.
Is this 9-11 all over again?
No internet, no food,
no power,
no phones.
And today of all days.
How are we supposed to survive?
- Do you have a plan?
- Who plans for emergencies?
At least not this...
- Do we have an emergency kit?
- No.
No, we don't.
Should we hide in the closet?
- Um.
- Maybe we should
hide in the closet.
She said "att*ck", right?
Was it a b*mb, is the air safe?
I told you to clean this
closet out months ago!
I think only one of us can fit.
- I think I have, like, a
radio or something in here.
- Too bad there's so
much stuff in there.
- Jackpot.
- What about our
friends downtown?
If it was in the other
cities, I don't know.
Chicago.
Nana!
- You know, maybe we should
just focus on us right now.
Perhaps you should just...
pray or meditate or whatever
woo-woo thing you do
to keep yourself calm.
- Okay, you're right,
you're right, you're right.
You're right.
Breathe.
Be grateful.
- We need batteries.
Maybe in the kitchen?
- Yeah.
What kind of
batteries do we need?
- Double A.
- How many?
- Four.
- Found one.
- Me too.
- The TV remote uses
double A, right?
- Yeah, good thinking.
- See?
We make a good team.
Come on.
Father,
we come before You as
Your humble servants, God.
We pray for strength,
we pray for courage.
We pray for our family and
our friends, our colleagues,
the first responders, God.
We pray that these
batteries work, Jesus.
Please, Lord.
- Yes.
- Amen.
Woo.
- Get a signal.
- Who would do such a thing?
Who would hurt so many people?
Woo.
- Like Nana always says,
"Man plans,
"God laughs."
- This is not an act of God.
It's an act of terror.
- Okay, all right, let's
not jump to conclusions.
Let's just focus on
finding a working station.
- Luckily I was running late.
I would've been stuck down there
and underground with
the rats in the dark.
Away from you--
- We cannot take
any moment for granted.
- On your birthday.
- It can
all be gone in a second.
Let us take a moment of
silence to honor the fallen.
And we can now confirm that
there have not been reports
of similar activities
in other cities
around the world.
- Oh!
Thank you, God.
- Emergency workers
are on the scene.
They are examining--
- Hey, can you cut
that out a bit?
- What?
- All that God stuff.
It's annoying.
- When did you
become an atheist?
- I just wanna deal
with what's real!
- God is real.
The Creator, whatever
you call "it",
it's very real.
- Q, I get that you have
this need to ground yourself
in this idea of hope
but it isn't helping us.
We don't even know what's
going on outside the door.
There's other things
to worry about
like food, water, supplies.
I can't deal with this.
- You never wanna
deal with anything.
You always jump ship when
it's time to do something,
to finish something.
Say something!
- But like you said,
if I need to be something,
I need to do something.
- So be it then.
- What I won't be
is this version of me you
have inside of your head.
I am exhausted to living up
to your impossible standards.
- What the f*ck are
you talking about?
- It always has to go your way.
- Really?
- The way that you planned.
- Okay.
Wow.
- It's suffocating.
- Really?
So why haven't you said
anything all these years?
- You aren't the most open
to other people's opinions.
Always so quick to
criticize, especially me,
if I'm not in alignment
with your plan!
- Baby,
we're on the same team.
I only want what's best for you.
- What's best for me is you not
down my throat all the time.
- I thought you needed that.
- We're in the
middle of a crisis.
- Don't just walk away!
- Can I have some space, please?
- Here's your space.
Too bad there's not much of it
because you don't
wanna let go of sh*t.
How do you expect
to invite new things
if you keep on holding
on all of this stuff?
Do you need this?
Or this?
Or...
This?
- You're
being outrageous.
- I'm passionate
about this, about us!
- All right, you can
have the living room.
I'ma take the bedroom.
- There's an att*ck happening
outside and you want space?
That doesn't make sense.
Am I enough for you, Amari?
- Q, I just don't
wanna fight right now.
- Do you wanna be with me?
- I don't want to
fight right now, Q.
- Fight for something.
- All I'm asking for
is to go into that room
and have a moment
to catch my breath.
That's all I'm asking for.
Begging for.
- Whatever.
I'll make it easy.
- Nothing is ever
easy with you, Q.
- If I die out here, know
that I loved you to death.
f*ck!
I can't remember the last time
we did anything adventures.
- Um...
Mexico.
But we both know
what happened next.
- That's why I planned this
whole evening, this weekend.
Now it's ruined by t*rrorists.
- I haven't been
completely honest with you.
- About what?
- I've been feeling lonely.
- Oh, well,
me too.
But I'm here.
I've been here.
- This just hasn't been
the best year for me,
for us.
I know it's my fault
we're in this pit.
- No, it's not.
I mean...
It's no one's fault.
- Yes it is.
I haven't been feeling like
doing much of anything.
- Part of me feels the same way.
- What's wrong?
- I'm frustrated.
- About?
- About us.
Something changed in Mexico.
We haven't been the same since.
- Yeah, I know.
We've been stuck
in this routine.
- Are you happy?
- I have my moments.
- No.
Are you happy with me?
- Q,
I love you
and nothing's ever
gonna change that.
- Answer
the question.
- Yes.
I'm happy with you.
Are you happy with me?
- Besides my friends,
you are all that I have.
But I'm not happy in
this pit that we're in.
- We will climb out of this pit.
Together.
Why don't we have some fun?
Maybe play a game?
- Do you think now is
the best time the games?
- What else are we gonna do?
- I mean, it is your birthday.
Probably won't be having
this party after all.
- Good.
It's just what I wished for,
to spend this moment with
the person I love the most.
So you and I are
gonna play "Memories".
- Memories?
- Mm-hmm.
So there are two photos
of specific moments
of our time together.
- Mm-hmm.
- Gonna shuffle them up
and then spread
them out, face down,
and the first person to get
the most matching pairs wins.
What do I get when I win?
- If you win.
Get whatever you want.
Winner's choice.
- I like that.
To raise the stakes,
when we locate a memory,
we have to recall the
peak of that memory.
- Oh, the highs.
What about the lows?
- We just focus on the good.
- Okay then.
Let's play.
Oh, bop, bop, bop, bop!
Rock, paper, scissors.
- Best out of three?
- Russian Roulette.
- I love your style.
- So why now?
Why me?
- I love you.
- It's gotta be another
reason than love
that would make
you wanna marry me.
- Amari, look at you.
You're gorgeous.
I mean, I love other things too.
- Like what?
- When you're like
this, fun, playful.
I asked you now
because I want you to know
that I'm here for you,
in the highs and the lows.
- I just feel that
you're so attached
to this vision of
being married by 40.
- That's not true.
And I know what I want.
- Ooh!
I remember this one.
This is when we went hiking
upstate and we got lost
but we worked together
to retrace our footsteps
to get back to camp.
- A bear chased us
through the forest.
- That was Alvin, a chipmunk.
- I remember Smokey the bear.
Now you can remember what
you want to, and that's fine,
I still have nightmares
about that damn trip
out in the wild.
Definitely a pit.
- Oh, whatever,
there was no bear.
- Ooh.
- Okay.
- Aw.
- Ooh.
- I remember this trip.
- You picked
me up and we drove
to Atlantic City
for my birthday.
- Mm-hmm, lucky number 33.
- Won a thousand dollars.
- And gave it back
to the casino.
- You know I love gambling.
I remember we ate
real good that night.
- I don't remember
what we had for dinner.
I just remember that
we shared plates
and we had those chocolate
chip cookies for dessert.
- Oh yes.
With the sea salt
sprinkled on top.
Ooh.
- Mmm.
- sh*t, I'm hungry now.
- There's oatmeal.
- Ugh, I hate oatmeal.
- I know.
I'm just playing.
- That would suck.
My last meal.
Oatmeal.
- Beggars can't be choosers.
- I'd rather eat you.
- Oh.
I don't think I could
curve your appetite.
- Think you could
curve something else.
- Ew, stop.
- Give it to me.
- You were trying
to distract me.
Quit.
- Call it what you want.
- Mmmm.
Only one pair left.
- How many do you have?
- Six.
- I have six too
and it's my turn.
This one's for the win.
- Mmm.
I remember this one.
- I'd rather not.
- Oh, it's all right.
It was Cancun and
I was sick
for three
out of four days on this trip.
I was sh1tting and
throwing up left and right.
- Yeah.
- What's wrong?
Ugh.
What's wrong?
Come on.
- I cheated.
- Oh baby, the game is over.
Come on.
- In Mexico.
I cheated.
- It was the guy at the
front desk, wasn't it?
Ugh.
- It was a mistake.
A lapse in judgment.
- I was wondering why he
was being so friendly to you
when I was being wheeled out
the front door by the bellman.
You said you was gonna
propose me on that trip.
- I know, I should've
told you sooner.
- What stopped you?
- You've been in
such a bad mood.
- We went to Mexico
over a year ago.
- And you've been disconnected
from me ever since.
- And now I know why.
Damn.
- There's something else.
- sh*t, the b*mb's
already dropped.
If you got anything else to say,
you might as well
let it out now.
- I'm positive.
- Am I at risk?
- We always use protection
and we haven't been doing
much of that anyways lately.
And I wouldn't have sex with you
until I knew that
I was undetectable.
- And that makes it okay?
I can't even look
at you right now.
What else you been
keeping secret from me, Q?
- I should be asking you
the same damn question!
- Oh, so no I'm on the stand?
- You haven't been Mr. Perfect.
- I haven't tried to be
and I also didn't break
any of the boundaries
that we set!
- I peeped your DMs.
- Oh, Q, please,
you sound so stupid.
- Oh yeah?
I have receipts.
- So let me get this
straight, defendant.
You cheated on me over a
year ago and then you decide
to pull out this bullshit ass
evidence as a way to do what?
Make up for what a
f*cking mess you are?
- "You're so cute.
"Oh, we should
hang out sometime.
"Maybe you should
ask your boyfriend."
- Q,
you are reaching.
We agreed to break up with
each other before cheating.
- It just happened,
I didn't plan it.
- That's a f*cking surprise,
you plan everything else.
Oh, wait.
It must have been an emergency.
- I need space.
- If we weren't on lock down,
my ass would be out that door.
- And where would you go?
- Anywhere but here.
- See how far that
$300 takes you.
- f*ck you.
- Amar.
Amari, open up, please?
Please, baby.
Don't shut me out.
Amar, baby.
Baby, please.
- What do you want me to say?
- Say anything.
- There's nothing more to say.
- Is that it?
- What did you expect?
A whole year?
- This is too much.
And cheating was
always a deal breaker.
- Fight for us.
For me.
Please.
- Ding, ding, ding.
That's a K.O, Q.
- Give me a chance,
I'm gonna make it right.
Baby.
- How are you going to do that?
- I don't know, I don't
know but I'll try.
- You should
journal about it.
- Okay.
We've been drinking,
we've been smoking.
- I am very clear.
- So that's it?
Are you really
throwing in the towel?
- Come on, baby, we
gotta lose these extra pounds
we put on in Cancun.
- You left five
of them in Mexico.
- That's okay.
I am here for moral support.
- I'm tired.
- Come on, we're
almost to our spot.
- Babe.
Oh, geez.
f*ck.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- My clumsy boyfriend.
Do I need to call
the paramedics?
- Maybe.
Kiss it.
Make it better.
- There's nothing
wrong with you.
You should have been a
performer instead of a lawyer.
- Oh, my entire
job is performing.
- So do you want your
Oscar now or later
for being a divorce lawyer?
- Now.
Tomorrow's not promised.
- Ooh, let's take a picture.
- Hey, we do you need to talk
about something.
- One second, babe.
This is the perfect moment.
Yes.
Oh.
Hold on, this is work.
Hey.
Hey, Tim, how's it going?
Yeah, I'm back.
Well, Q had more fun than I did.
Yeah, I was sick for
most of the trip.
I am better now,
thank you for asking.
Oh, okay.
Really?
What about the promotion?
Okay.
No, I understand.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Okay, yeah.
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Everything okay?
- They cut my position
and they're letting me go.
- Babe, I'm so sorry.
They were just promoting
you to director.
- "This is a hard
time for the company."
- You okay?
I'll be fine.
This isn't the first job I lost.
- You didn't like
it there anyway.
- I like the money.
- There are other
jobs out there.
We'll figure something out.
Until such times,
let daddy take care of you.
- Oh, Daddy.
Not gonna worry about it today.
- Okay.
- Today is fun.
- Okay.
- I'll worry about
the rest tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Was there something
you wanted to tell me?
- I was gonna ask you, had
you considered photography?
- Eh.
I take pictures for fun.
- Uh-uh.
You really have a great eye.
Can't nobody capture
a moment like you.
- Mmm.
Memories and moments.
- Wanna hit this?
- I didn't say come in.
- I know, I'm sorry.
I got oatmeal.
The gas is back on, good news.
So I was able to
boil some water.
There's some rice and beans
in there, if you'd like that.
- I'm not hungry.
- I heard your
stomach from out there.
- What kind is it?
- Peaches and cream.
- Thanks.
- Can we maybe
pretend to be friends?
- I don't wanna play this game.
- Would you play something else?
- Like what?
- "The Vulnerable Truth".
- Sounds boring.
- I thought of
different questions.
Some we may know the answer to,
some we may not.
But I figured we'd pull them
in hopes of getting
to an honest answer.
- I think we've had
enough honesty for one day.
- Okay.
- This was
not an act of terror
but a group of transformers
that exploded in the subway
causing a chain reaction
and massive blast.
It's going to be some
time before authorities
are able to remedy the situation
and restore power
across the city.
Cell service for some
carriers had been restored.
Police are confirming--
- Of criminal
activities across the city.
The lockdown is still in effect.
Stay inside and stay alive.
- I finally did it.
I had oatmeal.
- It was gooey but good.
- Told you oatmeal's the b*mb.
- I know,
I should have listened, I know.
- I'll play your
stupid game with you...
after I shower.
- Thanks for trying.
- Don't say anything.
- Hi, Amari.
Long time no see.
- Hush.
- I'm serious.
You look so...
handsome.
- Thanks.
All right, so how do
we play this game?
- You just have to pull some
questions out of the candle.
- "What are you most afraid of?"
- Losing you.
- Honestly, I don't
think that part
of our relationship
can be saved.
- Can we try counseling?
Would you be open to it?
- We're
playing your game,
questions only from the candle.
- "If you can change one thing
about me, what would it be?"
- Your breath be stank.
- I talk a lot.
- That is no excuse.
Have a mint handy,
some gum, something.
Don't no one want hot
air in their face.
- Why didn't you tell me before?
- I just noticed it.
And I didn't wanna
hurt your feelings.
- I'm not fragile.
- Mmm.
Okay, well then maybe you
should go get that checked out.
Hope it's not halitosis
- Gross.
I hope not.
- These are dumb questions.
"What's your favorite
thing about me?"
- Well,
I love how you're able to
see things in pictures.
How you're able to capture
the perfect moment.
- Memories are moments.
Thanks.
- Speaking of,
may I present you with a gift?
- Uh-uh.
No.
- It's from Nana and I.
- I see what you're
trying to do.
- We thought you could
use some inspiration.
Get the creative juices flowing.
- Oh,
Oh.
Everybody's a
photographer these days.
- People can snap a
picture for the gram
but not everyone can
capture a moment, a memory,
that lasts a lifetime.
- Wow, this...
This is really awesome.
Take it for a spin.
- Oh.
There's so many buttons.
Ah, oh, I don't even know what
I'm doing with this thing.
- You'll figure it out.
Practice makes progress.
- Mmm.
This is too much.
- Don't worry about it.
- Nana is on disability, Q.
She shouldn't even
be sending me money.
- It's a gift.
Accept it.
May I at least model for you?
- Go stand over there.
Go.
Now,
look away from me.
Mmm.
Yes.
Okay, now turn towards me
and just touch your...
You know what?
Hmm?
Oh.
Yeah
Look up at me.
Yes.
Now give me one with a smile.
- Even though my breath stank?
- Remember when I used
to tell you corny jokes
just to make you laugh?
- I remember.
- What do you call
a pig that does karate?
- A pork chop.
How about, why shouldn't
you write with a broken pen?
- Because...
it's pointless.
- Those are good.
You're a professional.
- Thanks.
- Can we pass?
- Your game, your rules.
- What do you love about me?
- I love...
how dedicated you are.
When you put your mind to
something, you can do anything
to get your mission
accomplished.
I think the reason we
work so well is because
I have great ideas...
and...
you...
are a great executor.
- Is there anything
I can do to fix this?
Tell me.
You know I will do it.
- I know.
But I don't think we're
something that can be fixed.
- I remember the
first time we met.
- I was working at that
boutique hotel in Harlem.
And you were sitting
at the bar on a date
with some other dude.
I should have known then.
- I was not on a date.
We were out having drinks
and he was a lawyer
and not even my type.
- I asked you if you
wanted another round.
- And you brought
me the wrong drink.
- I didn't charge you.
- I wrote my number on
the back of that receipt
and told you to
text me, you did.
And the next night we
went for Cuban food.
We've been chained
together ever since.
- "Chained" is a
good word for it.
- It wasn't all bad.
- I wanna remember
the good stuff.
I'm sorry you went through
all that by yourself.
- I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
I hadn't told anybody.
- It's nothing
to be ashamed of.
- I'm not.
Not anymore.
Final pull?
- "If you could be any place
in the world right now,
"where would you be?"
- I...
I wouldn't be any
place but here...
with you,
my best friend.
- I think we're gonna
have to take some time
before we can be friends.
If we can be friends.
- I understand.
I just want us to be something.
- Me too.
- Is there anything you've been
not completely honest about,
like a secret online
dating profile,
late night bathroom hookups?
- There...
There is something that
I haven't told you.
- You hypocrite.
- It was not sexual but...
I have withheld information.
- Withholding is lying.
- So...
when I went to the doctor to see
if there was anything
wrong with me mentally,
they did a full
of physical and...
found some abnormal cells.
- Abnormal cells, do we need
to get a second opinion?
- It turned to be
nothing, that's...
They're gonna monitor
it over time, I'm fine.
But it could
potentially become...
prostate cancer.
- Amari!
- I didn't say anything
because I didn't want
you to overreact.
Like I said, potentially,
and I'm fine.
So three months ago.
- Is that why you've been
avoiding having sex with me?
- The doctor said that...
a**l sex doesn't
make the cells grow
but...
I can't stop thinking about it.
- I guess we do have to
try something different.
- Are you open?
- Always open for you.
- We could have...
discussed...
your needs to explore.
- I wasn't exploring.
I didn't even wanna
go on that damn trip.
- I thought getting away
was gonna be good for you.
- It wasn't.
It felt like my Nana's
death meant nothing to you.
- That was never my intention.
- I never got to be
completely honest about me.
About us.
- Amari could sound
like a girl's name.
- She stopped asking about you
after I kept on making
up so many excuses
why you could never
make it to Houston.
- She loved you...
regardless.
- Yeah.
Hope so.
Just wanted to make
her proud, you know?
- Q, look at all the things
that you accomplished.
She was very proud of you.
- Have the apartment
for a few months.
I'll go stay with Glenn.
- No.
I'm gonna go back to
Chicago for a little while.
Spend some time with Nana.
- She's too much.
Can't believe she made a comment
that we should be
making home videos
when she realized the
camera sh*t videos.
- Yeah, she's crazy.
But I love her.
- That's what
connected us instantly.
The fact we were both
raised by our grandma.
- Yeah, Nana's Boys.
- What are we supposed
to tell our friends?
- Tell your friends...
whatever you feel
comfortable sharing.
- I let you down.
- Q, that's the thing,
you try so hard to
be liked by everybody
and have everything
go according to plan.
If we learned anything today,
it's that life is lived
through instant moments,
not prolonged plans.
Thank you for the camera.
- You're welcome.
It just...
can't wait...
and expect life to happen
in the snap of a moment.
You do need a plan.
- You're right.
- Trust in something
greater than yourself.
- Okay, you don't
have to preach to me.
- Why are you so resistant
anytime I bring up the Creator?
- Because I don't
have the energy
to have faith in the
idea of something.
- Faith is confidence
in yourself
and your abilities,
your intuition.
- And what was your
faith in us in Mexico?
I thought so.
- You gotta believe in
something bigger than you.
Something.
You always get defensive
whenever I question
you about anything.
- Q, if I walked outside that
door right now and got mugged,
is that God?
- No, that's man.
He's attached to chains of lack.
That's why there's systems
of oppression at place.
- Q, you are part of
two of the biggest
systems of oppression that
exist, marriage and laws.
- I like the passion but
tell me more of the argument.
- Q, you can't force your
ideas of this subject on me.
- You know the difference
between religion
and spiritually?
- No, but I got a feeling
you're gonna tell me.
- Would you be
open to meditating?
- I don't even know
where to start.
- I'll show you.
- What you doing?
- Just cleaning out the space,
inviting new possibilities.
- I can't.
This is too woo-woo for me.
- Sit down.
Embrace the fact that
change is the only constant.
It might be scary
or painful but...
we have to...
go through it.
- All right.
So,
be open to whatever
thoughts come up.
Just observe and release
them as they come.
- Okay.
- I wanna start by
sitting in silence.
Five minutes.
I hope my breath don't stink.
- I don't smell anything.
- Good.
All right.
- Breath is the most
important thing.
It's all the
evidence that we need
to know that we matter...
that we're alive.
- This is pretty easy.
Maybe you should be
a woo-woo instructor.
- Maybe.
- Okay, what's next?
- Just...
sit.
The goal is to quiet the
mind so that we can hear our
intuition, connect
to the heart center.
Whenever you're ready,
wiggle your fingers
and your toes.
Bring life back into the body.
Flutter your eyes open.
I've been saving this
for a special occasion.
Red, black or blue?
- Red.
- Write your heart out.
Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
- Oh, can you hand me the
rice and beans, please?
- Yeah.
You know, you really
do make the best rice.
- Nana taught me well.
- I'd hate to lose
her too, you know.
- You know, separating from me
doesn't me you
separate from her.
She has to make
her own decisions.
Don't.
- What?
- What are you doing?
- Gotta learn sometime.
- Trying to
steal my recipes.
- Recipe.
You only have one.
- You wanna know
how to make rice?
- Mm-hmm.
- The trick is,
put the seasons in first
before you add the race.
Go ahead, open that.
I'll get it started.
I really had fun tonight.
You been practicing that song.
- I had big plans for that song.
Oh, look at God!
Oh.
- Oh.
- I'm sorry, babe.
- Well, He did say,
"Let there be light."
Good night.
- Good night.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What time is it?
- 6:30.
- Ooh, it's early.
You don't have to go.
I can sublease a spot
and take care of the bills here
until you get on your feet.
- Luckily, this is not a
divorce you have to settle, Q.
- Keep that for emergencies.
- I don't need it.
- Can I give you one more gift?
- It's not my birthday anymore.
You were born at 5:49 on
the 29th of September,
so technically it
is your birthday,
if we're being technical.
- Thank you, ooh.
Morning breath.
You should work on that.
Now.
- Remember that surprise
getaway I had planned for us?
You should go.
A car has been arranged
to depart from here
to take you to an all-inclusive,
adults only resort
in Martha's Vineyard.
Everything has
already been paid for.
And I would really hate
to lose that money.
Please.
I know it's one of your
dream places to visit.
- It's really hard
to say no to you, Q.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
Can I open this later?
- Yeah, it's cool.
- Thank you.
Seriously.
- This no contact,
no following thing.
How will I know when
it's time to reconnect?
- I'll reach out to you.
- You sure you got
everything you need?
Small bag.
- Got everything I need.
- I never thought it
would end like this.
- Endings just happen,
but they happen so there
can be a new beginning.
Please make this easier on us.
- Keep this.
- I am going to go on this trip
and you are gonna pay for it.
- Well that makes me happy.
- Isn't that what you want?
It's time to let go of me.
This idea of me,
the plan,
all of it.
- Amari?
- Q.
- Rock, paper, scissors?
- Hey, Nana.
I left you a voicemail.
Yes, we're good.
Guess what?
I am going to be home on Monday.
No, I'm coming by myself.
Well, he did but I said no.
Oh, is he?
Interesting.
Well, call me back.
I love you.
