- CSI or something?

- I don't watch much television.

No, of course not.

I'm afraid, for me, it is not

a nourishing form of entertainment.

Maybe you should consider

curtailing the amount of hours

Eloise watches television.

OK. Got it. Good tip.

Let's get off at this exit here.

Right here.

Don't wait for answers

Just take your chances

Don't ask me why

Mm, you can say the human heart

is only make-believe

I am only fighting fire with fire

But you are still a victim

of the accidents you leave

As sure as

I'm a victim of desire

Right up here by this tree.

- Margaret.

- Elliott.

What's up, Elliott, man?

Give me some love, man.

I'm sorry again about Carol.

Thanks, thanks. Where's your aunt?

She in the garage.

Who's this?

Uh... This is Duvan. He's, uh...

- He's my bodyguard.

- No sh*t.

- You got you a bodyguard?

- Wow.

Is it just me or has the whole world

gotten real gullible?

Hey, Uncle Victor.

- Hey there, Elliott. How's it going?

- Good.

I would get up,

but this back's been killing me.

No worries. I know the feeling.

- Look who's here.

- Hey, Elliott.

- Hey, Elliott.

- Hey, come here. Give me some love.

- Come here. How are you?

- I'm real good, thanks.

- All right.

- This is, uh... Duv... Duv-something.

Um... Elliott got him a bodyguard.

Ooh! Really? You're a bodyguard?

No, that is just some humor

that Elliott had implied earlier.

Come here. Give me some love anyway,

Mr. Bodyguard. Come here.

Oh, wow, I feel safer already.

You OK, Mr. Bodyguard?

Oh, hey, uh... when we come back in,

maybe you can speak to them as a group

about watching too much television.

Well, well, look who came to visit.

This is quite a setup, Rowena.

Quite a setup.

Always impressive.

We aim to impress.

Do our best.

You're welcome to have one.

I just bought out the men's department

of a Sears going down.

Got some beautiful suits

for some lucky men in the neighborhood.

Can only help, right?

- Who do we have here?

- Oh, this is Duvan, our math tutor.

That's good. Math is good.

Math is my middle name, babe.

Rowena, you're not gonna really

take me to court, are you?

Eloise is happy where she is.

Eloise needs more love than just

what her grandfather can give her.

Now Carol... God rest her soul...

...Carol was a mom.

She and I, we had us a bond.

Therefore, I had no reason

to worry about my grandbaby.

And now you do?

Well, there are certain things a man

can do, certain things a woman can do.

I don't wanna have to be the one

to spell that out to you, Elliott.

Especially a man your age.

I already told her that

you're all welcome to come visit.

I'm thinking with things

the way they are,

life dealing us all the hands
