Hey, Evan.

I got them, man.

I'm on my way right now.

I'ma hit you tomorrow though,

because I can't kick it tonight.

I'ma hit you after church.

Boy, you ain't going to church, man.

Get outta here.

No, no! No, I got it.

All right.

I got it.

Happy holidays.

Okay.

Twigs!

Who's Twigs?

My nickname in high school.

Rachel, Rachel, Rachel.

What's up?

Hey!

You must be Niya.

We haven't been properly

introduced. I'm Malachi.

Nice to meet you.

Let me grab these bags.

I got it.

Don't bother. Let me

help you with your bags.

Why? Because I'm a woman,

I can't help myself?

No. Because I'm a grown man,

and that's what grown men do.

Munchie?

Munchie, don't forget to get the

Eskimo Pies from the store, baby.

Okay, Mama.

And would you get

me the vinegar potato chips, baby?

All right, and a mud pie.

Okay, Mama.

Hey, Rachel!

You know he's single.

Ha.

Rach!

Auntie!

Hey!

Hi, baby!

Hey, Malachi!

Cameron! Dee!

So, where's your husband?

Ex-husband.

Yeah?

Oh. Oh.

Since I'm here visiting my mom for

the week, maybe we can grab a...

I'm okay.

You sure you don't want a hand?

No, thanks.

No, no. No, I got it. Thank you.

You sure?

It's not a problem.

No. I got it.

Those bags look heavy.

I got it.

Clearly,

it's a different technique.

See? I had it.

Had it the whole time.

I do Pilates. So...

This girl.

Somebody come

help me with these bags!

I was in the kitchen.

I was helping Aunt May.

Hi!

What's... It still

doesn't even seem real.

I know. I know.

How was your trip?

Good. Good.

How's school?

Good. I may have

to sit out next semester...

What? What are you

talking about?

No. It's expensive.

Who's that making

all that noise out here?

Part-time job. I'll be okay.

Okay.

Hey, Daddy!

How are you?

God!

A lot better now that

my little baby girl's here.

How are you really?

Um...

It's Christmas.

I miss you.

Somebody else is here.

Guess who? Hi! Daddy!

Hey! Look at you!

Look at you!

God!

Sonya!

Cheryl, I missed you.

You look amazing!

Politics agrees with you.

Thank you!

Hey!

Rachel!

Hi, Cheryl.

Wait. Who is that?

Lonnie!

Hey, Lonnie.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Good to be here!

Uh-oh. I got a little

something for you.

How about an early

Christmas gift for everybody.

Lonnie, nobody

wants that right now.

Everybody wants it. Come on.

Here you go. One for you.

You get one, and you're going

to appreciate that one.

What is this?

One for you.

You have hair!

Of course I had hair in '93.

Hey, that's going to be

very valuable one day.

I'm telling you, if something happens

to me, something happens to you!

In a good way,

if you know what I mean.

So, hold on to it.

Walter, I'm so hungry. I've been traveling.
