I present to you Zanele.
Ambitious. No nonsense.
A modern woman and all-round boss.
And this is Andile.
Warm, adventurous,
and undeniably charming.
The full package.
Zanele and Andile are like
peanut butter and jam.
Samp and beans.
Scotch and ice.
Aromat on egg.
I'm talking Romeo and Juliet.
A timeless classic combination.
And when you see them together, you know,
I guess it makes sense.
People always say that, really,
before you make any moves,
just make sure that the two of you
are best friends.
I mean, look how good they are together.
- I dare you.
- That one.
Coming through.
Oh, look. There she is.
Oh, yeah, baby!
Yeah!
Come on out now, Sky!
I'll buy you all the ice-cream you want.
- Sky! Sky! Sky!
- Sky! Sky! Sky!
Whoo!
Yeah!
- I did it!
- Oh.
- Of course, you did.
- Got a surprise for you.
- Hold on.
- Yeah! Come, let's wrap you up.
- I did it, Chelsea.
- That's so good!
Uh, okay, okay.
Guess what I have?
- Um.
- Huh? Hmm.
Ice-cream!
- Come here. I wanna be with you.
- Let me help you.
No!
How are you gonna eat it then?
You said, "You can have as much ice-cream
as you want."
- Look now.
- Oh, okay, my bad for sure.
Mom!
- Mom.
- Hi.
Sky did the Kamikaze slide.
It was scary but fun
at the same time.
My gosh. You brave, brave girl.
- Hi, babe.
- Hey, babe.
So, guess what we got you?
- What?
- Mmm.
Aw.
Oh, wow.
Aw, that's beautiful. Thank you.
- Hey, Zee.
- Oh, Mama Jess.
You know when people tell
me that they wouldn't be happy
with their husbands having
a female best friend,
I tell them it's because they don't know
about the free child-care
they're missing out on.
Oh, wow.
Well, whatever I can do to help.
And how was your alone time?
I know you've been busy
organizing the party and everything else.
Yep, it's good. Thank you.
But I'm glad you're home.
Ah, guys. I've gotta be out of here.
- I'll see you soon.
- Bye, Auntie Zanele.
- Bye. Thank you.
- Bye, Auntie Nele.
- Be safe!
- Hey, dude, um... See you tomorrow, right?
- Yeah, of course. Wouldn't miss it.
- Cool.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Cheers, Zee. Thanks again.
- Cheers. No problem.
- Crazy day.
- Okay.
You know you don't have to
impress anyone, right?
Imp... Are you... I'm sorry.
- Are you not impressed?
- I mean, I a...
Whoo! I'm also impressed, girl.
Can I get an "amen", fam?
- Hey, Zee. What do you think? Huh?
- You look amazing.
Oh, you know my Jess. Always rises to
the occasion. That's for sure, right?
True that.
And? Where are my children?
Chelsea, Sky!
- Coming!
- It's time to go.
- Ooh.
- Aw, girls, you're... Oh. Hold on.
- Hello, angels. Hello, baby.
- Hello, Aunt Zanele.
- How do you like my outfit?
- I love it, honey. You look so good.
- Thank you.
- Come, let's go.
Let's go get your bags.
- Okay.
- I'll see you in the car.
- All right, baby.
- Okay.
- Bags, water, okay. Let's go.
- Yeah, hey.
Are you sure your dad will like this?
Yeah, of course he'll like it.
Surprise!
- Happy birthday, Grandpa.
- Happy 70th, Mkhulu.
Thank you. Thank you.
Happy birthday, Papa.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
- Didn't I say he'll love it.
- Mmm. You're fooling yourself.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Mkhulu
Happy birthday to you
Hip hip, hooray
- Here you are.
- Oh.
Thank you, my daughter,
you're such an angel.
Oh, I've been dying for tea.
Oh, sisi!
My brother's one and only bride.
Mmm, look at your wife. Doing her duties
and working hard, Brother.
My sister, get me a refill, won't you?
Hey, hey, hey. And? Don't you have hands
to get your own refill?
- Why must my wife do it now?
- Oh, relax, my brother.
She doesn't mind. It's her duty anyway.
Bro, we're all present here today
because my beautiful wife here
is the one that put all of this together.
It won't hurt you to put down that thing
and look for your own refill, you know?
Off you go now, Brother.
It's okay, big bro.
Maybe I'll also get married one day
and not have these problems anymore.
Oh, wow, my man.
Hey.
- Thanks, babe.
- Of course.
I mean, thank you.
Everything is perfect here.
Aw.
- Yeah?
- Mmm.
Eh.
Uh-huh.
Happy birthday, Papa.
May you grow old, never weary.
I'm grateful. I'm grateful.
Dad, I'd like to tell you this. We're here
today because she organized this all.
She thought it would be good for us
to celebrate you
and to get the whole family together.
- Oh.
- Uh-huh.
Well then, Jessica,
would you fetch the home-brewed beer
for me, and put it over there?
Uh-huh.
Sorry.
Mm-hmm.
- Uncle.
- Oh.
Uncle, happy birthday.
Wow, daughter.
Now, what's this?
- A spear for you.
- Wow, wow, wow.
Hey, look here!
We had a spear that strangely
disappeared from our house, you know?
We haven't had one since, daughter.
This will replace the old spear of ours
that went missing.
Thank you, my daughter.
Cheers. To you, Uncle.
Why does he call her "my daughter"?
Jess...
You know the old man.
Just don't pay any attention to him.
- I'll be right back.
- Mmm.
Oh, oh, oh.
Now...
Oh, well, thank you, Jessica.
Yes.
Your daughter-in-law is beautiful.
Well...
Oh.
- I know him so well.
- I know him well.
Greetings,
greetings, greetings, everyone.
Um, sorry to disturb you,
but may I please have your attention
for just a while.
Uh, so, Dad,
we are gathered here together as a family,
and so we thought we'd do something nice
and buy a gift for you.
We all know that my father
is a... a hardworking man.
So much so that I'm sure
when he's on his pillow,
he dreams of his farm,
driving his tractor, and of his livestock.
- I want to say thank you Papa--
- Wait, wait, wait!
Stop right now!
You pretend to care about this family.
Like you care about my legacy and name.
But you finished up your studies
in high school,
and then right away,
you chose a white woman.
You turned your back against this family.
All three of my children...
There's no one
who cares about this family.
You're trashing my legacy and name.
But you bring goats to me here.
Huh? You here!
You'd rather be sitting at the tavern
boozing and partying
and being laughed at by the whole nation.
You! Huh?
And you!
Hey?
You're here now saying that, "Hey, Baba!
Hey, Baba! We got this for you!" Hey?
You know what, my children,
in my heart of hearts
you've all disappointed me.
Hey?
You know I really thought that
between the two of you,
at least one
would be able to give me a grandson,
who would look after this family.
But neither of you could!
You're useless, man!
And so you know exactly where I stand now.
You know how I feel about this in my soul.
The rest of you standing about here
with your mouths open, get out.
- Get out.
- Oh, no, my love.
Hey, you too. Shut up, wife. Be quiet.
I said get out.
Or should I use my spear?
Get out! Leave!
You know he has
two beautiful granddaughters.
I don't know what this obsession
with a boy child is.
I mean you're so right. Why does it matter
having a boy or grandson anyway?
Guys, Sky and Chelsea will marry
and take on a different name.
He just wants a continuation
of the Dlamini bloodline.
And only a boy child can do that.
- What, do you agree with him?
- No, of course not.
I'm just explaining
where he is coming from.
Yeah, well,
I don't know what else I can do.
The event was amazing. Okay? Thank you.
Just, my father's issues
with my siblings and I...
And... I guess you kind of got caught
in the cross fire.
Yeah, and I think you deserve a medal for
all the hard work you put into that party.
Thanks, Zee.
Mommy, are you and Daddy
gonna make a baby brother now?
Why don't you get some shut-eye,
my baby, okay?
I'll wake you up when we get home.
Get some rest.
Hey, Clement! My man.
- Friend, you look so hot. Just like me!
- Aw, thank you.
- Whoa, is that Chillies there?
- Listen, you weren't ready.
Gee whiz.
- He's still got it.
- You're right.
But his situation is bad. Shame.
If only he'd gone international,
doing his choreography. You know?
- Yeah, shame.
- Life's tricky, hey?
It just doesn't serve you
what you want to order at all.
Mmm. Things didn't work out
for you either.
You and Andile. You were supposed to be
our Romeo and Bassie, you know.
- With a lot of children.
- No, I'm gonna slap you.
Uh, I mean, life served me
with the best of best friends.
- Yeah, so...
- Mmm?
- Hey, man, now with that said...
- Ooh.
...let's show them how
we've grown younger with time, yo.
You remember that song that went
"Make the circle bigger"?
- Hey, baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah?
- Hey, baby. Who's Clement?
Everyone keeps calling me Clement.
He used to go to school with us,
but he's a serial k*ller now.
- A serial k*ller?
- Yes.
- What?
- Relax, my love. You're not like him.
What do you mean I should relax, baby?
- Wait. Let's go see Zanele and Andile.
- Hello! Let's go, let's go!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's go! Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, guys. Okay.
Let's all relax. Everyone, relax.
So, this is the moment that
you guys have all been waiting for.
The duet!
With Zanele and Andile. Also known as...
- Zandile!
- Zandile!
- Yeah!
- Okay, okay, let's do it.
Cue the music.
Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey, hey.
Yes. Yes.
Step, step, step, step.
- It's my wife. I have to take it.
- Hey, hold on. Wait.
Go there.
Yes, that's it, babe.
Go, Clement!
- Okay, let's do this thing, Lucky.
- Ha! Zanele!
No ways, guys. Listen,
I've never in my life. I just couldn't.
When people talk about being loyal,
it's me they're talking about.
Also, how would I do it?
Because I'm always with my man.
- Wow, how could I cheat on you, babe?
- Wow, you. My word.
You're very fortunate, Clement.
You're extremely lucky.
But how many times have I said
that Clement is not me. Me, I'm Lucky.
Yeah, what did I just say to you?
I said you're lucky.
Wait, wait. Zanele, come back.
Come back. Chill, chill, chill.
Let's play a game now. Truth or Dare.
- Oh, okay. I'm up.
- There you go.
- Truth. I'm not afraid of the truth.
- She says she's not afraid of the truth.
That's it, that's it, that's it.
Tell us, has anything happened
between you and Andile?
That one!
Have you ever kissed or had sex
with each other, Zanele?
- There's a question.
- That's cold.
That's very suspicious.
Tell us the truth.
- Truth! Truth! Truth!
- Truth! Truth! Truth!
A little kiss.
That's the only thing that's ever
happened between me and Andile.
20 years.
Listen here, my man. Listen right now.
You can't end the night
without kissing her.
- Kiss her!
- Yeah, kiss. You've always wanted to.
No, no, no. No, guys.
Whoa! Hey, wait, wait.
No, guys. You didn't even ask him
truth or dare 'cause it's not his turn.
Is this high school, man?
Admit that you're afraid to kiss Andile.
- Afraid? Me?
- You're afraid of him.
You two need to stop playing games.
We want to see action.
- We want to see the kiss.
- You're too scared? Kiss him now.
- Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
- Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Hold him. Hold him, girl.
- Yes.
sh*t.
f*ck! No, no, no, no.
No.
f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.
sh*t!
Ah. Good God.
Okay.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Why are you calling
with your wife's phone?
Because yesterday you were...
You threw my phone in the toilet
when we were...
I wanted to check how you're doing, dude.
Uh...
There's a call coming in
and I need to take it. Okay, yeah?
Yeah, sure, uh...
Andile! Have you seen my phone?
How's my day looking?
I moved your meeting
with Mr. Sishi to tomorrow morning.
And then at 3:00, you have a meeting
with architects
from the airport extension project.
- Yeah.
- And then,
Taco Tuesday with Andile
and the family at 5:00.
Cancel Taco Tuesday.
What? B-But you never miss
Taco Tuesday. Hey!
- Then you go.
- Oh...
- There we go. For Aunt Zanele.
- Pick up.
- One for you.
- Okay.
- Wow, look what you made.
- Thank you.
- Looks delicious.
- I'm so proud of you.
That one's for Aunt Zanele.
I know how much she loves fish tacos.
- You're right.
- Well, I don't think
Auntie Zanele's going
to be joining us tonight.
Ha.
Unlike her to miss taco night.
I know. She's probably stuck
in a meeting or something.
- For you. Mmm.
- Thank you.
But I mean I could try call again, right?
No. Leave it, give her some space, babe.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. You know,
the four of us can enjoy taco night.
- Yes!
- Yeah.
As a family.
- Yeah. Yes!
- Right.
- Dad.
- Hmm?
- Why do you seem so disappointed?
- Yeah?
- Me?
- Yeah.
- Disappointed?
- Yes.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Does that look disappointed to you?
- Nope.
I'm just happy to have you guys
all to myself.
- Okay.
- All right. Well, dig in.
Yes. Can you please pass me a taco there?
No.
I said there's no phase two
going to happen until we--
- Oh, you--
- Oh, my gosh!
- You--
- Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.
Oh, my gosh. Geez.
Uh, it's not a problem at all, ma'am.
You obviously thought the color of
this shirt was too lackluster.
Mmm.
Uh-huh?
I said leave all of the work
- until all milestone payments are made.
- Um...
For the shirt mishap.
I'm so sorry once again.
- 200? 200. Wait.
- Wait a second!
Oh, you're opposing?
You're opposing me now?
Whoa.
Geez.
We'll probably start with the second item.
Oh, okay. He's not here yet.
Ooh, I hate being late.
How's it going?
Hello, I'm really sorry for being...
late.
I had a... a little hit-and-run
in the lobby.
Great. Everyone, meet Mr. Sbu Sishi.
Owner of world-renowned
Sbu's Lifestyle Village.
Oh, yes. Um, gentlemen, ladies.
- Miss.
- Yeah.
Hmm.
- Right. Shall we start?
- Yeah.
Of course I'm grateful to you, but...
I think you can do better than this.
Oh... I can buy you a new one.
You know, I'd prefer a date with you.
I'm sorry but I don't mix business
with pleasure.
You can keep the money though.
Go well then, Mr. Sishi.
Uh, nice to meet you, ma'am.
Won't you look at that.
Just when you think all is lost
then life goes, "Bam. Ha! Here's a bone."
How's this lady now? Can she not see
the man in front of her?
And why doesn't she just flow
with the tide?
But you...
You're disappointing us.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- How was work?
- Thanks, babe. Please put it on the table.
- You know, same old, same old.
- Ah.
So is Zanele taking the kids
to the bookstore today?
No, actually, um...
She's not.
Andile.
- What happened?
- What happened with what?
With Zanele.
- Jess, what are you talking about?
- What am I...
Well, she basically disappeared
after the night of
your high school reunion.
She was hardly out of this house
but I haven't seen her since.
She's always busy when I call her.
She's not replying to my texts, and you
have been weird lately.
Wei... When you say "weird,"
you mean weird how?
Distant.
You barely look at me
and we haven't had sex.
That has nothing to do with the reunion.
Look, I've just been stressed by work.
Andile, I am not a child and I won't be
made a f*cking fool in my own house.
What the hell is going on?
What happened that night?
Nothing. Nothing happened.
We went out had fun, good clean fun.
There were lots of drinks and that's it.
- But Zanele--
- But Zanele took on another project.
A stressful project.
She's out of town for half the time.
Also this thing with Papa.
He called me useless in front of everyone.
So that's what's been bothering you?
I just don't know why he can't see
all the good things in front of him.
His granddaughters. You.
It's just been weighing so heavy on me.
Hey, I...
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey. I, um...
All this time, I...
I've been thinking the worst and...
Do you remember what you told me?
What we said when we got married?
Yeah.
That it's just me and you.
Just me and you.
And we know what you have
and that's all that matters.
- You know?
- Yeah.
Now, I know that we agreed
the baby factory is closed.
But, um...
- "But, um..."
- But, um...
How about we...
- ...put in some practice anyway.
- Ah, I see.
- Hmm?
- Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Okay.
- The kids, the kids. Let's go to the room.
- Oh, sh*t. Okay. Okay.
Oh.
Hey.
Hey.
I love you.
Oh, babe. I love you.
No.
Ew.
Hello.
Mm-hmm.
No kids.
Bonus.
Keep it professional.
Otherwise? How's things been
with you lately, Sis?
Well, Brother, let's just say my things
are so much better than yours.
- Oh, coffee.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you so much. Andile.
- Here.
- Sister.
- Yeah, my bro.
Yeah, no, I really f*cked up, you know.
Yeah, but what did you expect?
We're speaking about Zanele now, Bro.
You know?
We're not just talking about Zanele here,
we're talking about my best friend.
- Don't you get it?
- Best friend?
Do you know why a cat
and a rat can't be friendly?
Because the cat will always go ahead
and eat the rat, you know?
You can't have a best friend who's female.
I've been saying this for years.
Listen, Brother, listen.
I remember you bringing Zanele home the
first time and how happy our parents were.
Everyone could see that
you're suited for each other just so well.
You know? Made for each other.
And not to mention
what Dad thought about her.
He loves her so much,
he even calls her daughter.
Even now, he still calls her daughter.
- You know why he does that though?
- Yeah?
He just wants to be on my case, perhaps.
No way, my bro.
Don't get me wrong, Brother.
Jessica's our sister-in-law,
we love her, but, eh.
You can surely tell
she doesn't fit in well at our home.
- You know?
- Mmm.
Wait, my brother, don't tell me
you've never thought about
how it would be if Zanele...
...if Zanele was our sister-in-law?
Just seeing her
hang around with us at home.
Huh? Haven't you thought about that?
Please be honest.
The name of my kids' mom is Jessica.
What I'm saying here is that,
hey, maybe we should accept the fact that
you went and married the wrong person.
You see this young man here?
His name is, uh,
is Danny.
Do you know how to read?
- Slow down.
- "D".
- Oh.
- Chelsea, Sky, slow down.
Chelsea, Sky. Still, a bit slower.
Aunt Zanele.
Hi. Oh, my God.
- My babies.
- Aunt Zanele.
Aw, I missed you both so very much.
Hey, it's been a while.
I thought we might find you here.
- We made fish tacos for you, but--
- Uh-uh.
Sorry, Sky.
My English runs out when I'm speaking to
the both of you. You remember, right?
- We made...
- ...fish tacos for you.
Really? Oh, my gosh,
I regret it so much now.
You both know
how much I really love fish tacos.
- We'll make them again next Tuesday.
- Aw.
Okay, look, girls.
Uncle Mzwi at the corner,
is reading a story for children.
- Oh. Okay.
- Do you wanna check it out?
Bye-bye, my angels.
- Bye, Aunt Zanele.
- Later, babies.
These kids
can disappoint you for sure.
One Tuesday, just one,
without seeing Aunt Zanele...
Now they don't know how to speak isiZulu.
They speak something I don't know.
Andile, you also need to teach them.
- They won't listen to me, you know?
- Yeah.
That's because you spoil them.
Like all fathers with their daughters.
The thing is, um, little girls are
meant to be carried like eggs.
Look, dude, I've noticed that, um,
you're avoiding me since the reunion.
And what happened between the two--
Andile,
let us just forget about everything
that happened between us that day.
Okay.
I mean, why don't we just forget about
that night and go back to being besties?
- I mean...
- Dude.
- Come on.
- Oh, man.
Wow, my friend.
Yoh, the way I missed you.
No way, dude. I missed you more.
It's crazy.
Back to "besties". [scoffs] Well, okay.
Good one.
I've missed you.
One, two, three, four, yes, five...
- Hey.
- Oh, my goodness.
- Hey, babe. Hi.
- Hey.
- How are you?
- Good.
How was it?
It was great.
But I think we're gonna need room
for one more guest.
Ah, for who?
- Here she is.
- Hi, Jess.
Zanele. Hi, how are you?
- I'm good, how are you?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
You know, for a moment there,
I thought you divorced us.
- Ah!
- Who's getting divorced?
- No, no one. I'm kidding. It's a joke.
- Oh.
I know I never make jokes but, you know.
There we go.
- Well, sit down. I've actually got a...
- Of course.
...extra plate, Chelsea over there.
Sky, you here.
- Here we go.
- Thank you.
- Right.
- Yay.
What a lovely surprise.
Um, Zee, I think you should say grace.
Mmm. [chuckles] Only fitting.
- All right. Hands.
- Okay.
- Hands.
- Chelsea!
Eyes closed.
Okay.
Um.
Dear Lord and Father, we are grateful
for all of this food on the table.
And we thank you for this family here.
Please be with them
to help them stay united.
And continue loving each other.
Now and forever. Amen.
Amen.
I've been waiting for lunch all day.
Well, come on, dig in.
- This is just like the good old days, yes?
- Um--
Yeah. Can I have the salad, please?
- Okay.
- Looks good.
- The green one.
- There you go, Sky.
I can't believe I let these bizarre
thoughts creep into my head again.
After all this time, but...
...he was acting weird after the reunion.
You disappeared, and I thought...
I know. I know I got over this years ago.
And I know you mean nothing
but the best for us.
- Mmm.
- For this family.
So,
thanks for putting up
with all my silly insecurities.
Sure.
You know what, actually, I just remembered
that I have a date today.
I'm so sorry to leave you like this.
- A date?
- Yeah.
No, no worries.
But, good luck with that.
Thank you.
I really hope
you find yourself a man.
It's not a good sight seeing
such a gorgeous lady single for so long.
Mmm. [chuckles] Yeah.
See you later, Mama J.
Daddy!
Okay. This is the last of them.
Ha.
Thanks.
What happened to Zanele?
Oh, um, well, she has a date.
I really hope she gets lucky.
You know,
I'm starting to feel sorry for her.
- Yeah. I mean I hope she gets lucky too.
- Mmm.
Come help me with the dishes, please.
- Um, please take care of table four.
- Yes.
Oh.
Ah, madam.
I can see that
your date is keeping you waiting.
So now you see fit to stalk me?
Ah, I could say the same thing.
But you see...
Oh, this is your place.
I think, maybe you should
leave those dating apps.
And, perhaps,
give me a chance to take you out, ma'am.
And how do you know
that I'm on a dating app?
I saw your profile
and I swiped to the right.
Wow.
I have waited for so long to find someone
who has all the qualities
I need in a partner.
Maybe, Miss Cebekhulu,
you need to give me a chance, and
then I can show you
what I'm talking about.
I promise I won't disappoint you.
If you disappoint me?
You'll pay me for wasting my time.
Oh. Paying, for me, uh, will be easy.
- Ah, whoa. Nah.
- I can pay you in advance.
Put away your advance.
Your small change, sir.
Wow.
If I'm not satisfied with our date,
I want all your construction contracts
for the next five years.
Deal?
I saw talk is cheap with you.
Another one, please?
Um...
Deal.
Wait, what?
If you're disappointed,
then you'll get all of my construction
contracts for the next five years.
Uh, I'll send a car to pick you up, ma'am.
Don't worry, I have a car.
Let's not rob each other.
Nah, maybe give your car a break for once
and allow me to impress you just a little.
The future of my business depends on it.
Anyway, see you then?
Uh, my brother?
It's on me.
Enjoy yourself.
Okay.
Mmm...
And then? Brother, can I help you?
I'm here to pick you up, ma'am.
To pick me up?
I didn't call a taxi.
Sbu asked me to fetch you. So, come.
Or I'll be forced
to take you to the taxi rank.
Oh, Sbu.
Where are we going, my man?
Hey, bro, I have some cold beers here.
My bro's here.
- Today's the day, my brother.
- Uh-huh.
So, bro, tell me. Which team
are you putting your money on?
It's so obvious, man.
I mean, when last did Motaung win?
You know,
I'm also wanting to know where Zanele is
because we need Zanele around now.
Zanele?
Zanele.
Ah, she's going out with someone, so...
- She has?
- Mmm.
Ah, Ntombi told me that the two of you
had a very hot time together. Very steamy.
Oh. Can't she keep a secret? How could
she tell you something so private?
I'm her brother.
Why would she keep stuff from me?
The meat is burning.
- Let me pour some.
- Stop it.
- Do you want to get us kicked out?
- I won't be told--
- Ah, my brother.
- Hi, there.
- Good trip with the lady?
- Yes, very good.
- Uh-huh.
- Great.
Oh.
You don't look very happy at all today.
Didn't the taxi ride bring back memories?
Riding at the back of a taxi that's full?
Daydreaming about a better life
and all that can happen.
Like being able to buy your first car.
Or your first house?
A lot of dreams start inside a taxi.
- Okay, you've got me there.
- Ah!
You wanted to bite my head off.
You know... [sighs] Yeah.
Riding in the taxi
took me back to when I had nothing.
Mmm.
Yeah. It gave me a wake-up call
to appreciate more...
Well, everything I have.
Oh, I like that.
Ah, all right.
Let me say goodbye to my friend,
then we can both go inside.
- Okay.
- Hey, Brother.
- Goodbye, bro.
- Thanks again.
Um, so this is where I live.
Uh-huh.
Was the driver nice to you?
- Yeah, not terrible.
- That's good.
If I were to give you the history
of all these pictures,
we'd be here all day.
Hmm.
I don't think I particularly
want to be here the whole day.
What's the story behind this?
So who are they?
Oh, yeah.
Uh, well, this is my family
back in eMbumbulu.
eMbumbulu?
Uh-huh.
Uh, that's where I grew up
and I moved up here
so I can go to university.
- Oh, wow. I also come from eMbumbulu.
- Oh?
Well, my family's still there
but I don't get to see them very often.
Ah.
I go back to visit them
almost every weekend.
Nothing is more important than family.
Do you have children?
Children?
No, I don't have children.
Mmm.
And your dating profile
says that you don't want any children.
Uh...
You did see my profile,
can you believe it?
But I guess you didn't swipe right.
You have a wife back home?
Oh? No.
Mm-hmm.
- No, there's no wife.
- Oh.
Ah, you never know these days.
Well, not anymore.
You can ask me anything, I don't mind.
- Uh...
- Show me your grandmother over there.
- Uh-huh.
- So are you the chubby one?
What I want to know is
when are we getting our real bride?
Yes, the real one.
Hey, Ntombi.
Talk to this fool, please. Please, Sis.
How many times do I have to tell you
that this is not a joke? Come on, man.
Why are you getting angry
if it's not true?
We are just saying what you already know.
And you both can't keep a secret.
I brought this up so many times, sorry.
Do what you want to do,
Brother, and we'll support you.
- We'll support you--
- Hey!
- Whoa, Brother, whoa.
- What now, Andile?
If you're happy, we're happy.
If you want to change your mind,
hey, bro, we'll change with you.
It seems like I've won with you.
Zanele,
you don't look disappointed anymore.
- Oh.
- Huh?
Don't get too excited yet,
the sun isn't down yet.
Ooh. Okay.
Hey, I understand. I get it.
- Zanele.
- Hmm?
The department just emailed you
about those unpaid invoices.
- Okay, I'm on it.
- Okay.
Oh, wait, Slie.
Uh, have you received any calls
on the landline?
Mm-mmm, Thandi would have
transferred the call.
Ah. Yes, that's right.
- Um, thank you.
- Okay.
Zanele Cebekhulu, speaking.
Who am I speaking to?
Hey, I've always
thought of myself as unforgettable.
This goes to show,
I'm not memorable at all.
Ah. Whatever.
I'm in the office, unable to work,
because I'm thinking about you.
Well, I've also been thinking about you.
You've been driving me crazy.
And I never want you
to leave my mind, Zanele.
I want you to stay there
and be comfortable. It's your home now.
Oh, really?
So how did she say it's going?
Barely spoke.
She's been blowing me off for weeks now.
Oh, he must be keeping her busy.
I think it's work that's keeping her busy.
Well, she's never brought a guy around
before, so it must be serious.
- Here we go.
- I don't know.
Is that even a thing?
These two barely even know each other.
They've been dating
for a month and a half at least, no?
Don't be dramatic.
It's only been five weeks.
Well, it's the same thing.
Mmm. I know.
Personally, I just think
it's a bit too fast, you know?
What if this guy's some kind of
Tinder Swindler after her money?
Oh, my gosh, Andile.
- Hey.
- What?
Don't be so pessimistic.
I'm sure he's great.
Zanele has
- lovely taste.
- Mm-hmm?
Oh, that must be them.
Let me get this.
We'll get it.
Well, come on.
You're the best, Sky.
Oh, wow. Lovely.
I've never eaten a taco before.
And I was nervous.
Nervous about tacos?
I told Uncle Sbu that there's actually
nothing to be nervous about.
Well, perhaps you'll consider
- putting tacos on your menu.
- Hmm.
- Could be a hit, right?
- Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Only if they make them like Sky.
Then they will really sell.
I just don't think tacos are tavern food.
Mmm. I mean, that's what you do, right?
You have a spot where people drink?
Uh, a lifestyle lounge.
And what do you do? What's your game?
So, generally,
how it usually works is that
it's the new boyfriend at the table
who answers all the questions.
Okay, girls.
Bath time it is. Come on. Let's go.
- Excuse yourselves, say good night.
- Good night.
Aw, thank you so much, Sky.
Nice to meet you.
- Very nice to meet you.
- Good night, my baby.
Mm-hmm.
That's better. Help yourself, please.
- Eat. Enjoy.
- Thank you. Thank you kindly. Yeah.
Mmm. Uh...
I thought we were
just having a friendly conversation,
but this man is out of line now.
My love,
Andile works for the government.
Zanele,
I can answer for myself. Relax.
Ah, working for the government is nice.
Do you enjoy it?
Yeah, quite nice.
Um, how about this?
I don't carry cases of booze all day long.
I don't mop and sweep up vomit
from all the drunkards either, you see.
Okay, Andile. Whoa.
Ah, but I don't pick up the cases.
I own a lifestyle lounge.
Hmm.
Okay, I...
I think it is time we get going.
Don't you agree, my love, no?
- Yeah, all right. Let's go.
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, but, no. We still have dessert.
Jessica made your fave.
Okay, please will you go
and start the car, Sbu?
I want to say goodbye
to the girls quickly.
- Oh, okay. Say goodbye for me too.
- Okay.
Ah, right, then.
Please also thank your wife
for me for the delicious dinner?
Sure.
I'm going to start the car then, babe.
Okay.
- Dude.
- What the hell?
- What is wrong with you, Andile?
- What do you mean?
Oh?
Have you forgotten
the mess you started here, hmm?
- And what's your problem with Sbu?
- I don't like him at all--
- You don't even know him one little bit.
- And do you know him, huh?
Do you know much about him, Zanele?
Andile, what is up with you?
I'm in love with you, okay?
Okay, none of that is true.
I'm serious.
Serious about what?
What happened between us, Zanele.
It was supposed to happen.
Andile.
For years, many times,
I have been the third wheel
in your marriage with Jess, hmm?
But now I have someone
who makes me so happy, cares about me.
Oh, and he is mine.
But now you love me?
Dude...
what happened between us
at the reunion, it was not a mistake.
If anything else, it was a sign.
It was a sign because all of my life,
I've been stuck.
The more I think about it,
the clearer it is that
you're the only person that completes me.
I love you.
Andile...
Okay.
You're just feeling threatened.
And you've been humiliated.
My feelings for you
have nothing to do with that guy.
Time's up.
Where are you going?
To him?
- Dude, who the f*ck is that guy anyway?
- What?
Who the f*ck are you?
Your wife is in the bedroom just next
to us, bathing your children right now!
Hmm? Stop trying to destroy your family.
And don't try to destroy
the friendship we have.
All for what?
A mistake we made when we were drunk,
Andile, and your bruised ego?
Uh...
No, man.
What about the children, Zanele?
How dare you?
Does Sbu know that
you can't give him children?
He wants no children, Andile.
Just stop it.
Zanele.
Come on. Zanele.
Zanele, look.
You must be an incredibly good boss
if your foreman has invited you
to an event like this.
- His daughter's wedding.
- Oh?
Of course I am.
I mean, can't you tell that I am?
Plus, it helps that
my friend is the wedding planner.
- Supreme organizer.
- Oh, yeah?
Mmm.
- It's beautiful. She's done a great job.
- You know?
- Great job indeed.
- Wow.
- Uh-huh.
- Indeed.
- You're also very beautiful, my love.
- Oh, really?
And these aren't even my type of things.
Well, hello there.
Uh, hello there.
You look so good together.
- Oh.
- If I say so myself.
I'll give you a smack.
Sbu Sishi.
This is Lethu. One of my oldest friends.
- Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
- The pleasure's all mine.
Well then, enjoy yourselves.
I really hope that soon, sometime,
you two will be my next clients.
Uh...
See you inside.
Okay.
Her new clients.
I also can't wait to make you Mrs. Sishi,
you know?
- You know, babe?
- Oh.
Yes.
Stop it.
And have a soccer team of kids
playing in the yard.
I can picture it
so clearly.
Ah. But, Sbu,
you said you didn't want children.
It's on your profile. On the dating app.
Say what?
"Not trying to have kids.
You can miss me on that"?
Oh, you mean...
Zanele, the profile is old, my love.
At that time, actually,
I was focused on building my business
and really trying to make it, you know?
I mean...
Yeah. But it's not like
we need children right now.
But, eventually, we'll build a family.
- Okay, um, I just can't do this.
- Huh?
You lied to me, Sbu.
Y-You said you don't want kids.
And now you want them?
What else
are you lying to me about?
Uh, Zanele?
A FAIRY TALE!
And bring it down.
You know, guys, you see,
nothing hurts a person like heartbreak
that you brought upon yourself.
You did to yourself.
Even if at the time it looked as though
it was the right thing to do,
but in the end, it still hurts really bad,
because it's a terrible kind of pain.
Oh.
Jess, I'm sorry.
Can we please talk about this?
Look, Zanele is my oldest friend.
I love her but I'm not in love--
Don't bullshit me!
I'm not.
I swear.
I trusted you.
You told me you were just friends
and I believed you.
We are. I mean...
We were.
Look. What happened had nothing to do
with you or the kids.
I was... I wasn't happy with who I was.
I...
thought I wasn't doing enough.
That I wasn't enough.
When I went back to high school,
I got drunk and high
on the idea of being someone else.
I let my family get into my head, okay?
I messed up.
It was a mistake. It was a silly mistake.
Jessica, you are everything to me.
You and those kids
are my world.
Jessica.
Is everything okay?
You can drop the act now, Zanele. I know.
You know? W-What happened?
You f*cked my husband.
That's what happened.
Honestly, it didn't mean--
I don't care, Zanele!
I'm not here for your apology
or for your side of the story.
I just want...
I just want to know one thing.
Anything.
Do you love him?
What?
Do you love him, Zanele?
Do you want to be with him?
No.
It-It was a mistake. Uh...
It didn't mean anything.
Destroying my family
didn't mean anything to you?
I love Andile.
But I'm not going to compete with you.
And I'm not going to do the hard work
of repairing what you broke,
just for you to come back
and destroy it again.
So if it meant nothing...
Look at me!
If it meant nothing, as you say,
back the f*ck off.
Don't call.
Don't text.
Don't come by the house.
And don't see my girls.
Just leave my family alone.
Please, Zanele.
Okay.
I mean it.
You have my word.
f*ck you.
f*ck you.
Are you okay?
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Aw, you were amazing.
Run to Mommy.
That was so good.
You did it!
- Come on.
- Thank you, Mom.
- How was that?
- Ah. So good.
- So much fun. Did you brief your sister?
- Yeah.
All right, your sister's coming.
You think you can get her?
- Oh, she's running away from me.
- Sky!
- Let's go, Sky!
- Go, Sky!
Yeah!
- Wow.
- Whoo!
- Mom, can I please have a bubble stick?
- No. No, you're way past that.
And also, you had those little pink ones
with the glitter. Remember those?
- Ice-cream!
- I don't know.
- With the pony head? Bubble sticks?
- Yes, that one.
But then Chelsea lost hers
- and I couldn't get from the shop.
- Hello.
- Hello. Take a look around.
- Oh.
- Do you remember that?
- Mom. Can I get some chocolate ice-cream?
Yes. But only one.
Last time, Aunt Zanele got me
the last blueberry ice-cream.
Honey, why don't you try
something new today?
- Chocolate?
- Yeah, chocolate.
- Two chocolate ice-creams.
- Yeah.
- Do you want some?
- No, I'm actually good, babe.
- Thank you. Thank you, Mom.
- How much?
- Pleasure, my darling. How much is that?
- That'll be 30 rand.
Thirty?
- Here you go.
- Thank you very much.
Pleasure. All right.
- Off we go now.
- Thank you.
Mind your step. Yes, please. Yes, yes.
Uh, everything is going very well.
Mmm. We've worked to plan
and you see we are now on schedule.
I can tell. Everything looks really great.
Zanele, are you all right?
Yeah. Yes, I'm fine. Thank you.
Are you sure you're fine?
Because your next meeting is in 15.
Zanele!
Safety!
I've got good news
and I've also got good news for you.
- Great.
- Yeah.
- I only want good news today, Doctor.
- Yeah.
This ankle of yours is nothing major.
You know?
It's just a sprain, okay.
- It's just temporary.
- Oh.
So, I'm going to ask you sister, please.
No more site visits.
Can you put them on pause?
- Okay.
- All right.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
And the other good news?
You're pregnant?
I'm going to be an auntie?
My friend, I'm three months pregnant.
Okay. That means that
the first trimester is over with.
I didn't know Sbu three months ago.
The hookup with you and Andile?
The child is his.
- Are you keeping it?
- What?
We all know you've never wanted children.
That was really only just because
I thought I couldn't... conceive.
What's the point of wanting something
that you can't have?
Aw. So what are you going to do
about things with Andile?
Andile has a family of his own.
This is my one.
You're not going to tell him?
You're going to raise it on your own?
But I'm still going to be an aunt, yes?
Can I help you?
- Oh, Dlamini.
- Hey, Sbu.
You left a tab of 2,400.
Sbu. Man, come on, eh?
Stop complaining
and just pay the money. That's it.
Oh, listen here.
All these people are my clients.
- Just take care of them, okay?
- Uh, okay.
Hi... Hi, Sbu.
Can I please talk to you?
In private.
Please.
Okay, Sbu, I'll get straight to the point.
For all my life,
doctors have told me that I would never
be able to have children.
And so, I only dated people who said
that they didn't want to have children.
And that is one of the reasons
why I chose you, you see?
But then...
at the wedding, Sbu.
When you told me
that you do want children,
I got scared.
And I-I didn't know what to do.
So I bailed.
So, when you left--
But you see, Sbu. Something has happened.
I am pregnant.
Uh. You're what? You're pregnant?
You... You mean...
- You're pregnant?
- I'm pregnant.
Our baby?
- Our... Our miracle baby.
- You mean...
I'm going to be a father.
I'm gonna be a daddy?
Mm-hmm.
Hey. Guys, listen. I've just found out
I'm gonna be a daddy.
Because we're gonna have a baby.
- I'm having a baby!
- Yes.
I'm so happy.
We're having a baby. Me? Baby.
A miracle.
Relax.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
- Here comes the baby. Just look at that.
- Our child is gonna do that.
What are you doing in there?
No way, baby?
Wow.
You're playing soccer in here.
Hi.
Eh?
Zanele?
Andile.
Hey.
Hey.
It's good to see you. You've been, uh...
Yeah, okay. [chuckles] Hi.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Wow.
- You're pregnant?
- Yeah.
Wow.
I'm so sorry. It's just that, you know,
I never thought you'd have a child.
I know, it's a miracle.
Wow.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
So, uh, how many months are you?
I'm six months.
- Six months. Wow.
- Yeah.
- Mmm.
- Six months, hey?
You know something, Zanele? I would do
just anything to jump back six months.
- Yeah, well, the only constant is change.
- Yeah.
But going back six months, I mean--
That was the reunion for high school,
wasn't it?
Zanele.
A-Are you carrying my child?
Zanele.
Please, Andile, don't even think about
what you're getting at.
What do you mean?
Why did you not speak to me?
You should have told me though.
How? You're the one who spilled the news
about you and me to your wife.
- You ruined our lives.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay, look here.
It's all I'm asking. I now have everything
I've ever wanted in my life.
Zanele, you're pregnant with my child.
And you don't say anything to me.
You have a family, Andile.
And I've found my own.
Just focus on them, please.
- Hi, sweetie.
- Hey.
Finally.
Hi.
- Oh, there you are. How you doing, girl?
- Hey!
Oh, my God. How are you?
Hey.
Go, Chelsea! Go!
- Yes.
- Hey!
- No!
- Hey, babe?
Babe, did you know Zanele was pregnant?
Aunt Zanele is having a baby?
Boy or girl?
Um, Sky, why don't you go get
some ice-cream for you and your sister.
- You can have it in your room, okay?
- Okay!
- Yay! Yummy.
- Ice-cream, yummy.
Wow. I mean,
I haven't seen Zanele since...
I don't even know.
Yeah, well, she's pregnant,
and she's live-streaming the baby shower.
Obviously. You know I always thought
she was a bit too showy for my taste.
Hmm. Wow.
- Yeah, hey.
- Do you wanna see?
Nah. I'm... I'm fine. Good.
- Okay.
- I think I'm just gonna...
...take a walk and maybe get some
fresh air, okay?
- Sure.
- All right.
- See you later.
- Bye.
Okay.
We didn't call you all here
just to celebrate the arrival of the baby.
We're also here
to reveal what the gender is.
Well...
Baby, this is for you.
I had it... Uh, upside down.
Okay, one, two, three.
- A boy.
- Yay! It's a boy!
Oh, I can't believe it.
My son.
Ah.
My boy, I promise I will do everything
in my power to raise you well.
Thank you for making me a father.
And thank you, baby.
It's a boy!
Aw.
Ladies. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
- I'll be back now.
- Okay.
- We have to talk, Zanele.
- What, Andile? What do you want here?
Why didn't you tell me
you're carrying a boy.
- What?
- Dude,
you knew for the longest time
that I've always wanted a boy.
- Andile.
- Zanele, you are carrying my child.
And I won't let another man raise him.
Do you hear me?
- Andile. Hey!
- My heir has come.
You out of your mind?
Okay, cool.
I just want my child.
- Don't do this.
- Everything okay here, my love?
Are you all right?
Yeah, she's fine. You can see she's fine.
- Hey, I wasn't talking to y--
- This has got nothing to do with you.
This is about me, Zanele...
and our son, too.
I-I beg your pardon. What? You--
I said this has nothing to do with you.
You cannot come in here and disrespect
my woman and my child.
How dare you?
This is my child.
You idiot. It's mine!
The child is mine, as*h*le.
Stop guys, no.
Andile!
Guys, stop it!
Stop it, both of you. Stop it!
Yes!
- Rematch?
- Mom? Mom, are you okay?
- Mom?
- Huh?
- You okay?
- You okay?
Uh...
Yeah. I'm fine.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Rematch?
- Rematch.
Yeah.
Uh, I'll be... I'll be back.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna get you.
What is wrong with you?
Is it really true what this boy is saying?
Hmm?
Hmm?
Oh, my God.
Is it true or not?
Zanele, this is the time to talk,
not to be silent.
Is it true that this fool...
Is he the father?
- Y--
- Speak, damn it!
Yes, it is true.
Um...
The kids are asleep.
What are you going to tell them tomorrow
when they ask for me? Hmm?
I never meant for any of this
to happen, Jessica. I'm...
I will not...
let you make a fool out of me, Andile.
Not more than you already have.
- But we can still work this out.
- No! How?
Polygamy?
Because I'm not up for that.
I do not love Zanele. I love you.
No, Andile. No, we've done this before.
I'm not doing it again.
Please.
At least she's given you your son.
- Jess, I--.
- Mm-mmm.
You can make arrangements
to pick up the rest of your stuff
one of these days
when the girls are at school.
Hey.
I think if you were
honest about this from the start,
we could have found a way
to deal with it more maturely.
But, hey...
I've never loved anyone
the way I love you.
But also, never been let down
like you've let me down.
My heart is broken.
You sure broke it, ma'am.
Sbu...
Daddy.
- Here's Daddy. Stand here.
- Come let's dry you. Here's a towel.
- Stand there so he can dry you, my boy.
- Okay.
- Let's get dry first.
- You playing soccer in the sand
with grandpa, my boy. Daddy's big boy.
Let's get your shirt then.
He wasn't problematic, Dad?
Nah, he didn't give me any problems.
- I want to swim again. Mmm.
- You want to swim again?
Okay. Granddad will take you there
one more time, okay?
Let's go again, my boy.
You doing okay, my son?
Yeah. Thing's are going well, Dad.
You taught me that
- a man doesn't cry.
- That's right. Absolutely right, Andile.
I'm grateful, my son.
I'm very grateful.
Are they all there?
- Is there another one?
- Knock, knock.
- Oh, hey.
- Mm-hmm.
Look who's at the gate.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- There's another one.
What other one? Huh?
- Wow. You were packing ba*ls.
- We were just packing the ba*ls away.
- How was he?
- Uh, we were fine.
Yeah?
My dad sends regards.
And where are his bags?
They're behind you.
Um, I just packed them for him.
Oh! You tidied up really well, my love.
Ha!
Okay.
Sorry.
Oh, no. Here's another one.
Thank you.
Let's go, baby.
Say bye-bye to Dad.
- And another one. Yes.
- Ah, another one? Put it in.
- Okay, come. Let's put it in. Oh.
- It doesn't fit.
There you go.
- Bye-bye.
- Yes.
- Say bye-bye.
- Bye-bye, my boy. Bye-bye, Dlamini.
Yes. Come. Put the ba*ls in.
Come here, then.
- My boy. We'll see you next month.
- Okay.
- Bye-bye, Daddy's Heir.
- Bye-bye.
Um...
You'll get juice
when we get to the car, okay?
- Oh, yeah.
- Mmm.
Zanele.
What?
All this time...
it was meant to be you.
I was supposed to choose you.
Bye, Andile.
Bye, Zanele.
Ta-da.
- There you go.
- Yay. We're home.
Hey.
We're going upstairs, remember?
Yes, take your elephant.
- Here it is, Mama.
- Well done. Yes.
- Ah!
- Wash, wash.
- Rub it.
- You rubbed it?
Drop it back into the water again.
Whoops!
Guys, as we've seen,
dating is a mess.
Seriously so.
But one thing I like about it after all
is that when you least expect it,
it can provide you with someone precious.
The true love of your life.
Good heavens. Dating!
Aw.
This is really nice, Mommy.
