- Where's Dianne?

- She's upstairs sleeping.

- Oh, no, no, no.

Can't have that.

I'll get her up.

How you been, man?

She sleeping, or she working.

Sleeping and working, man.

You know what she's doing.

You look good, man.

Thank you, thank you.

Glad we beat the weather.

They were delaying

flights like crazy.

Yeah, I think Mike

and Shelia got delayed.

They were supposed

to beat us here.

Mm.

So, who got that

contract for the city

you guys were working on

with the casino?

Me.

Myself and I.

- By yourself?

- Mm-hmm.

Congratulations, man.

That's great.

Thank you, thank you,

thank you.

I was praying that

you would get it, man.

Thank you much.

Look at all of us, man.

When we were in college,

did you think

that we'd be doing what we said

we'd be doing?

I mean, look at me. Pediatrician,

doing well, private practice.

Dianne's a top litigator

at her firm,

you, top architect, right?

Patricia's a best-selling author.

Man, I'm proud of us.

I think we did all right.

But if my memory

serves me correctly,

you should have about,

what, 4 kids by now?

You got to talk

to her about that.

And you supposed to

have at least two...

Oh, man.

I'm sorry about that.

Naw, that's OK.

It's OK.

Who's the wine for?

Was for Dianne.

You may as well.

Wake up.

Oh.

You are still the same

pain in the butt

that you were

when we were roommates.

Exactly, and that's

why I'm not leaving

until you get up.

Come on, Dee, get up.

Wake up.

I'm up.

Give me a hug.

- Hey, girl.

- How are you?

Well, I just dozed off

for a second.

Oh, goodness.

I can see why.

Yeah. Well, I'm defending

a 16-year-old on trial for capital murder.

- Jeez.

- Mm-hmm.

Which is why I needed

this break, which, nice spot.

- Yes. Yes, it is.

- It's very peaceful here.

Ah, Angela and Marcus, yes?

- Uh, yeah.

- Oh, God. Here we go.

- Yeah. There goes the peace.

- Right.

Can you close the door? Huh?

You're closer to the door.

What... with your hand, can you...

the same way you close the door

can you write a check?

Huh? Can you do that?

Can you write a check?

What does that

have to do with anything?

No, you know it has...

I breathed in and out again.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I swear, one of these days...

What? What you gonna do? Huh?

I wish you would.

You know I got 5 brothers...

Hello, hello.

- Like I'm scared of them.

- You say that now.

- I'm so scared of them.

- Hi!

- Hi!

- Hello, hello.

Hey, Terry.

Hey, Pat.

Good to see you.

Oh, he gets on my nerves.

Hey, Di.

Oh, yeah, yeah. OK.

Hey, Gavin. Mwah!

Hi.

Y'all all right?

Hell, yeah.

We're fine.

Oh, man. We good.

Know what I'm saying?

I need a drink.

It's the middle of the day.
