02x20 - Arms Are for Hugging

Post by bunniefuu »

As most of you well know,

February is black history month,

So tonight we would like to salute

One of our forgotten heroes in african-american history.

From the au-oo au-oo resort hotel in hawaii,

Please give it up

For the godfather of black surf music

Mr. Elroy preston.

Let's go, elroy!

He bad. He bad.

Is oahu in the house?

Well, look here, I'd like to say aloha

To all my kamaainas.

......

A toast

To martin and gina on their engagement.

Hear.

Hear, hear, hear.

Here, there. Boom.

Yo, man, I can't believe you did it.

Well, believe it, cole.

Gina, show him the ring.

Come on, baby, now. Show him the ring.

[Sighs]

Keep it up there.

Cole, that ring cost about

Three big-screen tvs.

Damn.

Well, what she giving you, bro?

All the love in my heart

For the rest of his life.

Ha ha!

Ooh, that's so sweet, gina.

All the love-- isn't she sweet?

You got played, bro. Damn.

Uh--uh--uh-- uh--uh, cole?

You don't understand, brother.

You see, when you love a woman,

You do things for her.

That's what love's about.

Come on, now. I know about love, man.

Matter of fact, I'm thinking about

Moving in with big shirley in the spring.

Yeah.

Yeah, her son's going away to college.

Yeah, he going away. Ha ha ha.

Shut up.

O.k., Just shut up! Thank you.

All right, everybody,

I've got some real news.

You guys remember crazy vanessa?

Well, we're getting back together.

She gets out of rehab this weekend.

You know what?

Our love is touching everybody.

I mean, you, me, tommy, cole.

There isn't anyone our love can't reach.

You know that, huh?

What? What are y'all looking at?

Martin, don't even try it.

Like you and gina will really ever get married.

Wait, wait.

What's that supposed to mean, pam?

What I mean is when's the wedding, bro?

Have you set a date,

Or will you keep stringing gina along

Like you've done for the past two years?

You know what? We've set a date, pam.

Reverend barnes is coming over

To talk about the service.

That's great.

Oh, man.

Pam...

I can see the hurt in your eyes.

It's written all over your face.

I want you to know

There is a man out there for you somewhere.

Thank you, martin. Thank you.

One day he'll be paroled.

What are you doing with that winans cd?

I want the rev to know

How much I love the lord.

[Knock on door]

Break out the bible I stole from the motel.

We're not pulling that out, martin.

Gina!

Hi!

Martin.

Huh? Huh?

I was so happy to hear about your engagement.

Thank you, reverend barnes.

There are a few things

We need to talk about.

We'll go right down the checklist.

O.k.

We need to set a date.

August nd.

All right. Morning, afternoon, evening?

Afternoon.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Don't I have something to say in all this?

Gina, I bought the ring.

Please.

Show the rev the ring.

Go on, get the ring up.

Show the rev the ring.

That's beautiful.

That's right.

Cost me about , bibles.

Two weeks of passing the bucket, rev.

I didn't get no change, nothing.

Martin, am I going to have to hear

About how much this ring cost

For the rest of our marriage?

You wouldn't have to if you wore the price tag.

Clear that up and get back to me.

Do you have a best man?

Cole brown.

Cole? Why not tommy?

Because I met cole first.

He's going to lose the ring.

I want tommy.

Gina, I want cole.

Perhaps we'd do better with the maid of honor?

That's easy. Pamela james.

Beady-bead? Hell, no!

Hell, no.

No, no, gina. Why she got to be there?

Because she's my best friend.

That'll change after we get married.

What's that supposed to mean?

Excuse me,

I'm going to jump right in here.

Have you two discussed this marriage at all?

Yeah, we discussed it.

Um, she called me at the radio station

And told me about it.

We wrote our own vows.

Can I see what you've written?

Yeah. This one is mine.

Oh, that's good.

That's marvelous, gina.

That's long, baby.

I got some things

I don't understand about you.

Here, check it out.

Naw, I just had questions.

There will have to be a few changes,

Like this mention

Of your wife's weight requirement.

What? You--

Oh, no. No, rev.

That's not really a requirement.

That's more like a goal.

You put something in there about my weight?

You know how some women get

After you get married.

You get bloated, twizzlers coming out.

I can't believe you put my weight in your vows.

You are going to ruin my wedding.

Martin, gina, peace!

I'm through.

You're done?

You don't want to know anything else about the wedding?

There's going to be no wedding

Because I refuse to marry you.

You people obviously aren't ready to be married.

I ain't going to let him spoil your day.

I know what you're like already.

Huh, rev?

You ain't seen no moola all day.

I got it.

Martin!

Money has nothing to do with it.

I refuse to marry you unless you attend

My couples retreat this weekend.

Oh, no, rev. I'm sorry.

I can't go to no couples retreat

'Cause the pistons are playing the bulls, man,

And I don't know if jordan's coming back.

How am I going to miss jordan in the air?

You can tape it.

We'll be there, reverend.

I ain't got time to go to no retreat.

We will go to another church.

Rev, you got to go.

Martin, don't do it.

No. No.

Lord, I'm sorry,

But your boy's out of line.

Baby, don't.

Rev, could I speak to you for a minute?

When I throw a man out of my house,

I tell him, "get to steppin',"

But you're a rev.

So please, let me say a prayer.

All right.

Please help the rev to get home safe

And do not let the doorknob hit him

Where you sure enough split him.

Amen.

Struck by lightning. Stay away from me.

The lord know I play around.

Hey.

Hey, baby. How's your room?

Terrible.

Terrible, gina.

How come you did not mention

We was going to sleep in separate rooms?

How am I going to get my freak on?

Had me up all night.

It might be fun. Stop.

Gina, please.

Yo, my boys jay and valdez. Whazzup?

How you doing, man?

They work out in the gym with me.

They cool boys, gina.

Welcome, everybody.

Welcome to the east side

Baptist church's couples retreat.

Now, come on. Come on.

This year we're trying something new.

I want everybody to welcome

Our first g*y couple jay and valdez.

All right, we want to try a really fun exercise

Called role reversal.

It allows us to see our partners

As we see ourselves. Martin, go first.

Who, me?

Yes. Just pretend you're gina.

Uh, yeah, I think I got one.

You're going to love this.

Check it out, uh.

No, martin. Don't do this, don't do that.

Don't be happy. No, martin.

Your temper, martin. Change, martin.

Don't, martin.

No, martin.

Don't ever, martin. For me, martin.

No, martin.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

That's you, babe. That's how you be acting.

That's very funny.

Now it's my turn.

Hey, represent me right, girl.

Represent me right.

Whazzup?

I'm stompin' with the big dogs!

Somebody done told you wrong.

Pla-ka-ka-ka-out! What?

Get out!

Get out!

Get to steppin'! Raise up.

Respect my house! I said,

Get to steppin'!

You wrong!

You're going to take that back!

You ain't going to act like that.

Does anybody else see what is wrong here?

Darryl.

Martin has a really bad temper.

Everything he says is angry.

He's an angry, angry man.

Sit your dumb a*s down.

You see that? This is a retreat.

He don't know me.

Martin, you should spend some time

In the angry corner.

Don't play with me. The what?

Five minutes, brother, in the angry corner.

Ha ha. You better go, boy.

Ha ha ha ha!

Go on.

What? What? What's that?

[Muttering]

O.k., Everybody, we did some good work today.

Martin and gina.

You two have problems.

You need to do some thinking

About your relationship.

You see that?

Pshh!

Pshh!

Pshh pshh!

You know, this is whack.

You're not even trying, martin.

Damn trying, gina. I'm here.

I'm missing the game.

Jordan's probably back.

Jordan's probably back.

You heard what everybody said--

You have a bad temper,

And if you don't do something about it,

We'll never make it.

I do not have a temper, gina.

Man, I mean, people...

Make me...

Mad...

All right?

They're the ones with the problem, baby.

Did you ever think about that?

Is that what you think? It's everybody else?

I know.

I know.

O.k., You--oh. You know what?

If you think that--whoo!

Honey, it's going to be a long weekend.

Pshh!

Pshh!

Pshh!

Yeah, it be a long weekend,

Longer than you know.

Pp-pshh!

I throw people

Out my house,

It hurts their feelings.

That's right.

The next time you're feeling angry,

Feel like you're about to yell at somebody,

What you need to do

Is give them a hug.

Give 'em a hug?

Gina.

Hmm?

Give me a hug?

Wow.

Yo, rev. Wow.

Yeah.

I feel so much better now.

Ahem.

Um...

Darryl...

Earlier I told you to sit your dumb a*s down.

Um, that wasn't right.

Naw, darryl, that wasn't right.

Um, I'm sorry.

Give me a hug.

Ahh!

Oh.

Ah, darryl.

My boy--uh.

Uh, hugs for everybody

'Cause I feel so much better now.

I really--thank you.

Baby, I'm so happy you're trying,

But don't go overboard.

Oh, reverend.

Winnie.

Sometimes I feel like darryl

Just tunes me out.

He doesn't hear a word I have to say.

[Imitating winnie] I wonder why,

Whiny mandela?

Gina...

That woman's done nothing to you.

Rev...

I would like to report

Some anger in the room.

Martin!

Martin!

Gina over here

Is talking about people.

I don't want to say who

Because I'd hurt winnie's feelings.

Gina, you want to tell the group

What you said about winnie?

Shut up, martin!

All right, gina. All right.

I think somebody should spend some time

In the angry corner.

Yeah. Winnie, I am so sorry.

She's turning around, rev.

Rev, now I know why you say amen.

Amen.

Amen.

All right, break time, everybody.

Break time.

Gina, you can come out now.

Ahh.

Uh. Uh.

Ooh.

Hugs, hugs, hugs.

Martin, we have to talk.

Would you like to go to the sharing chair?

Damn the sharing chair, martin.

Don't holler at me,

Else I'll tell the rev

To put you back in the angry corner.

O.k., O.k., You can stop now, all right?

I see what you're doing.

Stop what, gina?

Gina, this is for real.

I've hurt people.

I've hurt people, gina.

I've thrown them out my house,

My car,

The radio station.

I'm not right.

I'm not right.

I'm not right.

O.k. All right.

I see what time it is.

It's on now. It's on.

All right, everybody,

I want to do an exercise now

Based on trust.

Trust.

I want everybody to tell their partner

Something from the heart.

Martin, you want to tell gina

Something from the heart?

Yeah, I sure do, rev. Thank you.

Gina,

You have transformed me.

I was an angry man,

But with your help,

I've crossed the river of anger

To land on the island of love.

Won't you join me

In my quest?

Gina, you want to tell martin anything at all?

Martin.

Yeah?

I think your radio show sucks.

No--

All right, gina. Angry corner.

No, no, no. It's all right.

I can handle that.

That ain't nothing, rev.

I am a man at peace with myself.

You have any other problems with me,

Gina?

There is your height.

What--

What about my height?

You saying I'm short?

Not exactly.

You got to be an inch taller to be short.

All right.

All right, what are you saying, gina?

Oh, no, let me explain.

See--oh, you remember that shirt

I bought you for christmas?

Got that from baby gap.

You--you told me I was working out,

And you liked the way my clothes fit.

You want to take that back!

No, I'm not taking anything back!

You've been messing with me this whole weekend,

Being nice. I could k*ll you.

I was being nice to prove to you

You like me the way I am.

Quit trying to change me.

I'm only asking for you to watch your temper.

That's just one small, little, itty-bitty change.

Small change?

That's who I am.

I throw people out.

All right, but what about me?

You threw me out of a car once.

Don't do that, all right?

Depends on what you say, how fast I'm going.

All right, girl. You in this, girl.

All right, look. You know what?

I will try, for you, gina,

I'll try to watch my temper.

That is a good start.

Everybody, let's have a hug circle.

Um, rev, we can't make that

Because we got a game to catch.

Come on, baby.

You and me against the world, girl.

Yeah!

Now, see?

That's what honesty in a relationship can do.

That couple is going to make it.

Is there anybody else

Who wants to share something with their partner?

Reverend.

All right, valdez, man.

There's something I've been wanting to tell you

For a while.

See...

I ain't g*y, man.

Well, yo, man,

I ain't g*y neither.

Oh! Yeah.

All right, man.
