Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Grand Crew"...

Do you want to be my girlfriend?

Yes.

- Nice.
- But...

- Oh, no.
- My visa just expired.

So I have to go back
to Montreal next week.

Who does your partner
secretly want to smash?

- Ooh, Anthony.
- What?

- BOTH: What?
- Z-what?

No, no, no.

Did you sleep with my brother?
And don't you lie to me.

Yes, like, three times last night.

Didn't need to know how
many rounds you went.

- Just wanted a yes or no.
- Crushes come and go.

The important thing is
that we can stay friends

because he never found
out about my feelings.


[HIP-HOP b*at]

This is gonna sound crazy,

but I realized that I
can stay in the country

and... and we could stay together if...

we got married.

Noah, will you marry me?

Simone...

I...

I know pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Come on, y'all.

I know your parents were truly in love

You know, their love story only happened

to keep her in the country.

What a fantastic leap of faith.

Wait a second.

Are you Noah "Sax Daddy"

- That's me.

And it's all thanks to my dead parents.

- You're marrying Simone?
- Mm-hmm.

I know what you guys are thinking,
but this situation's different.

- [ALL AGREE SKEPTICALLY]
- If you say so.

Seriously, I've given
this a ton of thought.

I promise I'm not just getting caught up

- in all the excitement of all this.
- [PHONE VIBRATES]

[SCREAMS, LAUGHS]

It's my fiancée. Be right back.

Hey, fiancée.

He ain't changed, and
this will end badly.

Boy is backsliding like a busted BBL.

We're not actually gonna let him

- go through with this, are we?
- I mean, what can we do?

My bro is a big old ho for monogamy.

He'll probably get cold feet.

I got cold feet real
bad before I got married.

Why did you go through with it?

Everybody was already sitting down.

I mean, you can't
reason with Noah's heart.

That's what makes him so sweet

and stupid and sad.

Regardless, someone
needs to talk to Noah.

- Why me?
- You're the married guy.

You're right.

I'll go and talk some sense into him.

All right, all right, see you soon.

- Bye.
- Hey, hey, hey, Noah.

Oh, Wyatt, just the
man I was looking for.

- Hmm?
- I want to ask you something.

We are getting Noah married, y'all,

- and I'm gonna be his best man.
- What?

- And it's in two hours.
- Z-what?

It's the only appointment we can get.

If we don't get married today,

then Simone has to leave the country.

The only problem is it's
all the way in Santa Monica,

and I don't have my car.

Same, but that's not a problem.

Sherm, you just started
your own car service, right?

That's right... Jones &
Sons is fully operational

but much too new and too expensive

to be giving out friends
and family discounts.

I'll pay you double.

Well, let's get you married, my guy.

Noah, you know what would also be fun?

Is if we had, like, a little reception

for when you got back.

Nicky, Fay, could y'all
put something together?

I'm sure Noah doesn't want any fuss.

I love fuss. I'm
trying to get fussed up.

Perfect. This is your wedding day.

Okay, everybody, let's go!

[CLAPS HANDS] Let's go, come on!

Sherm, I need to talk
to you about music.

You were supposed to
stop the wedding, Wyatt.

Okay, while I don't necessarily believe

that he should be getting married,

I've never been a best man before,

and that is a responsibility
I don't take lightly.

Don't worry, Nicky. I'll
go and change his mind.

And when we get back,

we can celebrate him
avoiding a disaster.

Please, go stop my brother's
dreams from coming true!

[HIP-HOP b*at]

Now, this is a nice car.

Oh, you are taking
this business seriously.

Yeah, it's time for me
to figure out a career.

I love people, and I love driving.

So I leased this here
Caddy, which I cannot afford,

and started Jones Sons
Premium Luxury Car Service.

"Established in "?
Cars didn't even exist then.

Yeah, nothing on this card is true.

It's true if people believe it.

That's the world we live in now.

So I created a whole persona.
I call him Sherman the Driver.

Either way, thank you so much

for helping me get to my wedding.

- You're a good friend.
- Yeah, Sherm.

It's almost surprising how
supportive you're being.

[CHUCKLES] Let's make one thing clear...

when I'm behind the wheel,
I'm not Sherm, the friend.

I am Sherman the Driver.

And at Jones Sons, our motto
is "We gon' get you there.

"No matter where you're going
or why you're going to it,

it don't matter, baby, we got you!"

That's a long-ass motto.

Right, so as the best man,

I have one main responsibility...

bachelor-party time!

- BOTH: Hey!
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

- No drinking in the car.
- Wait, why?

Because Sherman the Driver is a deacon

and does not partake in
such secular activities.

- Oh.
- [GOSPEL MUSIC PLAYING]



[HIP-HOP b*at]

What's up?

Hey, Michael. It's been a while.

Yeah, it has been a while.

What are you doing here, Michael?

Oh, well, Kristen's out of town,

so Wyatt asked me to bring
some stuff by for the party.

Interesting... Wyatt gets to take

a luxury car ride, and we
get to do all the chores.

It be like that sometimes.

I'm happy to help. Got
more boxes in the car.

- So I'll be right back.
- Thanks so much.

I'm actually gonna go grab more glasses.

[SARCASTICALLY] Yeah, he's so helpful.

[LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY]

Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael.

[CHUCKLES] Um, what are you doing here?

And that is a good question.
What are any of us doing here?

I mean, we're born, we live, we die,

and for what?

I'm trying to figure it out, honestly.

Stop it. You know what I mean.

All right, don't worry. It's cool.

Nobody's gonna find out
that I'm your boyfriend.

- Shh!
- Don't shush your boyfriend.

- That's not cool.
- You are causing a scene.

I'm not making a scene.
You're making a scene.

[BOTH SHUSHING]

Hey, you guys need an extra hand?

- No, we cool.
- No.

- We're good.
- No, we got this.

- You good?
- I'm great.

- [LAUGHS]
- Great.

Yeah, fantastic.

[HIP-HOP b*at]

Hey, you look as beautiful
as the day I met you...

- three weeks ago.
- Oh, thank you.


And you look so handsome.

Okay, so I'm already here,

because my friend Courtney
lives in El Segundo


and gave me a ride.

- How far out are you?
- Oh, we should get there

with time to spare...
about, like, minutes.

Wonderful. See you soon, fiancé!

- [SCREAMS]
- See you soon, fiancée!

- [CHUCKLES]
- [PHONE BEEPS]

- Ah, that was my fiancée.
- I gathered as much.

So, Noah, as an accountant,

I just want to make
sure that you've thought

about the financial implications

of getting married... it
can be a real challenge.

But doesn't it also come with
a bunch of tax advantages?

- Uh, yeah, but, you know...
- Listen, Noah's right.

Kristen and I have
benefitted tremendously...

lower tax bracket, better deductions...

Shut up!

Sherm, you agree, right?

Sorry, brother... Sherman the Driver

only engages in harmless small talk.

Ooh, a TGI Fridays. Have
y'all ever been there?

My son just loves their onion rings.

- But you don't have a son.
- But Sherman the Driver does.

And he's going to the NBA.

Hey, yo, what's going
on with all this traffic?

They're calling it the "Car-pocalypse."

- What?
- [HORNS HONKING]

No, w-we have to get to Santa Monica

- in under an hour and a half.
- Maybe it's not meant to be.

Not a problem. I know
all the best shortcuts.

Just gonna turn off right here.

Don't worry. I got you.

[TIRES SQUEAL, CRASH]

- ALL: Oh!
- [STEAM HISSES]

Oh, damn.

I don't got you.

[GROANS]

I didn't see him.

He just came out of
nowhere like a maniac.

Sherm, I am very sorry about your car,

but please resolve this quickly.

- We don't have a lot of time.
- Don't worry, sir.

I can be calm and reasonable.

Uh-huh. Shouldn't be no issue, baby.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Oh, my neck! [GROANS]

Hold up.

- Ron Ron?
- Sherm?

Man, what the hell are you doing here?

This is my shortcut, man!

I'm the one that put you
onto this shortcut, man!

You did not put me onto this shortcut.

I put you onto this shortcut.

Oh, you gonna pay for this.

Oh, I'm done paying you, man.

Oh, then I'ma sue your broke ass.

Sue these knuckle balls, fool.

Oh, so you want to boogie-bop?

Yeah. So let's bop the boogie, then.

- Oh, oh, oh.
- Stop this, okay?

Just call Triple-A.
It'll be a quick fix.

Ooh, yeah. This is gonna take forever.

I'm gonna have to tow
'em both to the shop.

- No!
- Oh, man!

[PANTING] Time is running
out... we got to move.

Are you sure you can't reschedule?

No, if we don't get
the certificate stamped

with today's date, Simone
is gonna get deported.

First the heavy traffic,
then the accident.

Seems like the universe
is sending you a sign.

Oh, stop putting words
in the universe's mouth.

The universe just told
me that you are wrong.

There's a train stop!

Everybody, come on, let's
go. We're taking the Metro.

Wait! Where do you think you're going?

I need your insurance information.

I'm going to the chapel.
The homey's getting married!

So you think you can just dip
without paying for my damages?

We all going to the chapel.

Nah, that's not "chappening."
You're not invited.

You're invited to this beatdown.

Everybody is invited if we just move!

[HIP-HOP b*at]

Wyatt texted that Noah likes a red blend

with notes of leather and cherries.

- Mm.
- Mm.

Not tasting leather.
I'm getting more velvet.

Interesting, 'cause I'm
getting hints of denim.

- Mm.
- Khakis.

- Mm?
- I mean, I'm just...

I don't really know... I don't know.

Is wine supposed to taste like pants?

This isn't the one. I'm
gonna go get more bottles.

So how long are you staying here?

I don't know... I guess
until I want to go home,

play video games, smoke weed.

Michael, I'm not ready
to tell my friends

- that you are my...
- Boyfriend?

Keep your voice down.

I thought you liked
it when I made noise.

Oh, don't make this conversation sexy.

Oh, that's gonna be hard
to do with your sexy voice.

- You're so annoying.
- Oh, and you're so beautiful.

- I hate you.
- You want to get out of here?

- Yes.
- Let's do it.

Okay. Oh, boy...

- I got some leather wine...
- [DOOR CLOSES]

[HIP-HOP b*at]



Okay, how's this? [CLEARS THROAT]

I do.

- No, that's, like...
- A little serious, yeah.

I do? Nah, I'm questioning it.

- You can't ask a question.
- Can't be a question, yeah.

- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- I do.

- I do.
- I can't believe you're not helping me.

- Do you honestly believe Noah when he says
- I do. I do.

he's thought this through?

- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- Obviously not.


I think he's making a
mistake, but I'm his best man.


- I do.
- If you were really his best man,

you'd say something.

What... what are y'all so
busy doing on your phones?

Oh, just Kristen and marriage stuff.

Anyway, let's keep your
bachelor party going.

- Really?
- Really?

Excuse me, everyone. My
friend is getting married.

And we want to celebrate
his last few moments

as a single man, so who's down to party?

I love this!

I don't think these strangers
are in the mood to party

- with a bunch of strangers...
- I got a boom box.

- I got peppermints.
- I've got a ton of cocaine.

Whoa, uh, I think we're good on that,

but thank you for your enthusiasm.

Bachelor party!

Bachelor party! Yeah!

[ECHOING] Turn me up, YC!



Nicky, Michael, this is
Amir, the owner of the bar.

- Oh, hey, what's up, man?
- Oh, hi, nice to meet you.

So I heard you're throwing a party.

Let me show you our private event space.

- Oh, yeah. Cool.
- Yeah, sure. Okay.

Cool.

Okay, what's this?

Okay!

Oh, this is like some Scooby-Doo stuff.

Ruh-oh!

[BOTH LAUGH]

- Oh! This is nice.
- Yeah, okay.

I didn't know this was back here.

Yeah, we don't really advertise it.

Ah, why would anyone keep
such a good thing a secret?

Maybe he's keeping the bar
a secret because it's special

and Amir's just being protective of it.

Mm, that sounds like a fake excuse.

[STAMMERS] Well, I mean,
sometimes I do feel guilty.

Maybe I should be more
public about this spot.

No, Amir, this is a secret bar.

- Secrets can be fun and sexy.
- Mm, that's true, too.

But what about the bar's feelings?

I'm sorry. What?

Maybe the secret bar's feelings

are their own fault and not Amir's.

- Huh?
- Well, maybe Amir is selfish.

Hey.

I think the secret bar's being immature,

and that's why it's a
secret in the first place.

Well, then I guess we're done here.

- Good luck finding a new bar.
- Hmm.

Uh, I-I'm sorry. What just happened?

[GIGGLES] I don't know.

Okay, guys, so we only
have one stop left.

But let me just say that was hands down

the best half-hour bachelor party

on public transit
that anyone's ever had.

Right? And it even got
Sherm and Ron Ron to make up.

See? That's why you my guy.

Nah, that's why you my guy, man!

Attention, passengers...

we are having technical
difficulties on the train.


- This is now the last stop.
- Wait, what?

I said we are having

technical difficulties on the train.

I've had a long-ass day. Just get off.

[HIP-HOP b*at]



I can't believe this.

We don't have time to get there on foot.

What's the universe saying now?

It's saying you need to
chill with all the negativity.

Look, I'm sorry that I'm the
only one keeping it real with you.

What's that mean?

It means you're making a mistake, Noah.

Even your best man agrees. Tell him.

- Hey!
- Wow. Really, Wyatt?

Okay, if you're gonna be mad
at anybody, be mad at Sherm,

because he's the one who
got into the accident.

Hey, I tried to drive you there.

That was Sherman the Driver.

What does Sherm, my friend, think?

And don't lie.

I mean...

he thinks you're nuts.

[SCOFFS] Man.

But, Noah! Noah!

Sherman the Driver
appreciates your business.

Hey, this is Simone's phone.

Leave a message. [LINE BEEPS]

Hey, uh, I tried calling
you a couple times.

I'm not gonna be able to make it.

It's a long story, but I don't know.

Maybe this is just the universe's way

of trying to give us a sign.

I'm sorry.

[DOWNBEAT MUSIC]



Hey, man.

Look, I know you're upset with us,

but we also know how you can get,

and we were just trying to look out.

No.

You just weren't being good friends.

You're supposed to have my back

even when it seems like it's crazy.

Anthony, remember you
wanted to write that play

about Tax Day called
"APRIL TH: The Musical"?

Then I read all pages,

and it was just a whole
bunch of accountants

screaming about how the
numbers didn't add up.

And, Wyatt, remember that photo sh**t

where you had me
completely covered in mud?

I still don't even know what
that photo sh**t was about,

- but I was down.
- Yeah.

And, Sherm, remember you wanted to start

that Black-owned toilet-paper company?

- FUBU Boo Boo.
- That was crazy.

But I supported you.

And, Ron Ron...



I mean, I really don't
know you all that well,

but I'm sure you got, like,

some weird stuff you be getting into.

I definitely do, man.

Look, the crazy thing
about all this is that

I actually thought this through.

None of it even matters now.

- Let's just go back east.
- Nah, that's not happening.

Wow. You're gonna stop
me from going home, too?

- Man, y'all are buggin'.
- No, you were right.

We should've had your back.
So we're gonna get you married.

That's right. We are.

Yeah.

And how are we gonna do that exactly?

Because we do not have
the necessary resources.

I have an idea.

[SIREN WAILING]

[CHUCKLES] Anthony, I had
no idea your aunt was a EMT.

That's right... best
auntie in the world!

[LAUGHS] Ain't that right, Auntie Jane?

That's right.

So maybe you should call more often.

I'm busy.

Not too busy to call your Auntie Deb.

Yeah, she told me y'all talk.

We really appreciate your help!

Of course!

I had to because you were all
injured from your car accident.

- Right?
- ALL: Yes, Auntie Jane.

[SLURPS]

[GRUNTS] I got to tell you something

that's been really hard for me, Fay.

- Okay.
- Okay, how do I start?

It's... um, it is kind of like...

So...

Okay, when a man and a woman...

Oh, is this about you dating Michael?

You witch. How did you know?

- Because you're my girl.
- [SCOFFS]

And just like you knew
when I liked Anthony.

Mm.

Also, you guys have been
acting so weird all day,

it was pretty obvious.

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

I'm just, like, not used to
being someone's girlfriend.

Hmm.

We broke up, so it doesn't matter.

- Why? You clearly like him.
- I do.

But, like, what if it doesn't work out?

Well, then we just come back here

to get drunk and talk trash.

- That's nice.
- [CHUCKLES]

- Can I have that one?
- You can.

Thank you.

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

All right, this is as
far as I can take you.

Any further, and these
beach-boy EMTs'll be on my ass.

It's three blocks that way.

We got two minutes, y'all. Let's roll!

Oh, hold on! Aren't y'all
forgetting something?

ALL: Thanks, Auntie Jane!

And?

- Mwah!
- That's better.

All right, you go on ahead

and marry your little girlfriend-wife.

I'm sorry, Noah.

I really am.



You know, I'm not even that
bummed about the wedding.

[CHUCKLES] If I'm being
honest, I'm just bummed

that it means this is
the end for Simone and I.

Noah?

- Simone?
- [LAUGHS]

[CHUCKLES] Oh!

- [CHUCKLES]
- Oh, I am so sorry I was late.

Noah, it's okay, it's
okay. I have good news.

I can stay in the country.

Seriously? Wha...

When I got your message,
I didn't know what to do,

but then my friend
Courtney offered to help,

so we got married instead.

Oh, snap. Well, that's great.

Well, where's Courtney?
I can't wait to thank her.

Hey, guys.

Hey. What's up, man?

Excuse us for a second. [CHUCKLES]

Uh, Simone, where's Courtney?

Noah, this is Courtney. [CHUCKLES]

Huh?



- Hey, Michael, can we talk?
- Nah, I'm good.

- Michael, please.
- Nah.

- Michael.
- Nah.

- Michael, come on.
- Nah.

- Michael, please.
- Nah.

I want us to be together.

- Excuse me?
- And I want people to know.

I wasn't ready to own it,
but I'm... I'm ready now.

I want you to go to the
party with me as my boyfriend.

And we can hold hands, share snacks,

tell inside jokes.

I don't know what couples
do, but all of that stuff.

- You being serious?
- Yes.

[SIGHS] Okay, well, that's
all I wanted to hear.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Aw.
- Mm.

Let me get this straight.

Simone gets to stay in the country,

so you guys are still together,
but that's her husband?

Yeah. Courtney's my
girlfriend's husband.

Uh, but only on paper.

- And now we get to stay together.
- Yeah, we do.

- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- Where's Nicky?

Sorry we're late.

"We"?

Why y'all holding hands?

[GIGGLES]

Why y'all kissing?

Nicky, that's my brother!

Why are y'all holding hands and kissing?

Someone help me understand, please!

Yeah.



- Hey.
- Hey.

Looks like everything worked
out with Noah and Simone.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I have absolutely zero doubt

things will sort
themselves out in the end.

Weren't you on a mission
to stop the whole thing?

No, I was on a mission
to be a good friend...

Oh, okay.

Which I failed miserably
at at first, but we're back.

Mm.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES, RINGING]

I'm sorry. This is
Talia. I should take this.

- You should take it.
- BOTH: Yeah.

Um, just gonna...

- Cool.
- Cool.

So this is the first
time we've both been

in a relationship at the same time.

I know. Wild, right?

I'm someone's girlfriend,

and you're someone's wife's boyfriend.

Okay, well, you're our
friend's brother's girlfriend.

Okay, well, mine's
normal, and yours is weird.

- Yeah, I know.
- Mm-hmm.

- But I'm so happy.
- Aw.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Ah! Oh!

He happy, he happy! Ow, ow!

Feelin' good.

Yah.

- Not a doctor.
- Shh.
