Look, how bad was tommy's accident, cole?

Big earl had told me

That peaches and kool-aid told him

That the car was totaled.

Damn the car. How's tommy?

I don't know. Big earl's a mechanic, not a doctor.

They said they rushed him to the hospital.

Which hospital, cole?

What? There's more than one hospital in detroit?

Cole, you's about--

Martin, martin, martin, look.

I'm just going to call a bunch of hospitals.

You mean to tell me

You don't know what hospital he in?

How you just going to lose tommy?

I know. Relax, man. It's going to be all right.

Don't try to calm me down, cole.

It's all my fault, man.

Tommy laying up in some hospital 'cause of me, man.

'Cause of me, man.

'Cause of old marty-mart, man.

All right, martin. Martin, just relax.

Breathe. Come on.

Let it out. Exhale.

Two times.

[Moans]

You can't go blaming yourself for that, martin.

Why not?

Why not? We in the movie theater

Fighting over arm wrestling, man.

If he hadn't left the theater mad,

He wouldn't have ended up in no wreck.

The boy car flipped over four or five times.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He don't deserve that.

You made him mad. I guess it is your fault.

You wasn't supposed to agree with me, cole, man.

Honey, boo, what hospital is he in?

None of the hospitals I called

Had a tommy strong.

None of the hospitals you--

None of them.

Maybe when they brought him in, he was unconscious.

Did you describe him?

Yeah.

Did you say he's a tall black man?

Head look like a milk dud.

Yes, balding.

Did y'all hear tommy had a car accident?

We heard, but we don't know where he is.

Ray-ray told cornpop who told junie

Who works in emergency

That he's in county general.

k*ller county?

k*ller county.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. k*ller county is terrible.

[Gina] terrible.

They left my uncle in the hallway

Stuck with an i.v. In his arm.

What's so bad about that?

That's normal, martin.

He was just there to see my aunt, pam.

Now he don't know who he is.

He think people following him.

Mama calling me, "can you do something about him?"

Look, you all. Let's go to county general,

See if we can find where tommy is.

Does anybody know the quickest way there?

Yeah, on pam's back.

But we all can't fit, so, uh,

Y'all can ride with me. Come on.

No way he going to yell at me.

Aah!

Martin, stop.

Martin, come on, now, baby.

Let me see.

[Moans]

Baby, come on.

O.k.

Uh, excuse me, but we're looking for tommy strong.

Is he o.k.?

What room is he in?

I hope you don't have him in a gown,

All assed out.

What's wrong with y'all,

Running in here like it's some kind of emergency?

This is the emergency room, isn't it?

Yeah, but you ain't got to be all up in my face.

Bring it down. Bring it down.

Hold off. Hold off.

Please. Please.

Chill out.

Uh, excuse me, miss nurse.

Our friend's been in a terrible accident.

We need your help.

Ooh, you right.

Honey, when did your head swell up like that?

We better get you to the operating room

Before it pops.

There is nothing wrong with my head.

Martin, there is nothing wrong with my head.

No, baby. There is nothing wrong with your head.

Now, look, o.k.? What room is tommy strong in?

I can't tell you unless you're family.

I'm his cousin.

We're all his cousins, all of us.

I didn't know we was related to tommy.

Shut up! I don't believe him.

Just like I thought.

Y'all have to come back tomorrow

During visiting hours.

Uh, yeah, yeah. Miss lady's right.

Look, she's right. Let's be out.

Look, come back. Look, stick with the plan.

The lady's right.

Martin, what are you doing?

Look, I got a plan. Bam.

O.k.? Now, check it out.

You and pam wait for me in the elevator.

Cole, you sweet-talk her

While I peek at the clipboard.

Love that boy.

I'll find out what room he is.

All right. You cool, but smooth.

Smooth. O.k.?

Did you forget something?

Bam! I sure did.

I forgot to tell you, miss, how fine you are.

Bam! I forgot to tell you

To get the hell out of my face.

How you doin'?

How you doin'?

Look here, baby.

I like a woman who's thin in the waist

And thick in the ankles.

You'll have a thick knot on your head

If you don't back off.

Baby, I'm into that. I got the gear at home.

Come on with it.

Cole, cole. I got it.

I got it, man. Let's go.

Relax. We're going, all right?

Hurry up. Get in here.

O.k., Look, look, nurse,

It's not like I'm not enjoying the ride--

Believe me, I am--

But, you see, I don't need a wheelchair.

I only sprained my wrist.

I'm sorry, but that's hospital policy.

O.k., I'll tell you what.

I'll let you roll me now if...

You roll to dinner with me a little later.

What you say about that, nurse--

What's your nametag say?

I'm nurse gottabody.

You ain't lying.

You know, you're very lucky to make it out that crash

With just an injured wrist.

Yeah, I know.

Good thing I had my company car.

Your chart says you ain't got no job, man.

Oh, no. That's a typo.

I got a job.

Aw, damn.

He ain't here.

What if we're too late?

I hope he didn't check out

Before we got the chance to say goodbye.

I thought checkout time wasn't until noon.

Get him away from me.

Cole, this is not a motel . This is a hospital.

If this is a hospital, where are all the doctors?

How y'all folks doing?

I'm dr. Skyhook.

You all have to leave. It's after visiting hours.

We're looking for our friend.

He's supposed to be in this room.

The patient who's in this bed is down in surgery.

Look, look, dr. Skyhook...

Um, are you sure he's going to make it?

It was touch and go, but I think he'll pull through.

All right.

But do you happen to know if he's an organ donor?

Nah, but he played the hell out of some drums.

Shut up!

Look, doc. Now, tommy is my best friend, o.k.?

No matter what it cost, I'll pay for everything.

Since you're paying, you can stay.

Is there anything else we could do to help?

Yeah, yeah. Anything else we can do to help,

Like if he needs an organ, a cow heart or something,

We got the whole cow right here.

Pam. Pam...

Lord...

Can you--can you make it so that tommy lives?

If he lives, I promise I'll be the nicest brother

On the face of the earth.

Does that mean you won't crack on me anymore?

Lord...

Can you make it so that tommy lives

And I still get to crack on pam?

Don't make me give up all my options.

You better stop playing.

Y'all--hey, you guys, we are supposed to be

Thinking about tommy right now.

Anybody want some chips?

I really wish me and tommy never would've broke up.

I got to admit,

He was the best boyfriend I ever had.

I just miss the way

He used to take those big chocolate hands and rub me--

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

Slow your roll...

Before all of us need a damn doctor.

I can't help it. I'm just upset.

Why, tommy? I don't understand why--

No, no, no, pam, don't worry about it. Cole--

Cole is here.

I want tommy back the way he is.

Cole--i'm here.

Cole is here, girl. I'm here for you.

Cole is here.

Cole...

Baby, what's up? It's your world.

You know, it's on you. Talk to me.

If you don't get your stubby little hands off me,

You going to have to learn to eat with your feet.

Get away from me.

Y'all, all this worrying is making me hungry.

I wish I had some of nipsey's hot wings right now.

Ooh, tommy used to love nipsey's hot wings.

Yeah, I can hear him now,

"Pass the chicken wings, doll."

Remember how tommy

Used to always lie about his job?

Er, uh, i--i--i got a job, doll.

Girl, please. I worked with him for six months.

I still don't know what he does for a living.

That's wild-- 'cause I already--

I'm starting to miss his laugh.

You know-- awk awk awk awk!

Awk awk!

Wow, martin, I can't believe that.

Snap--you sound just like tommy.

[Pam] just like him.

Damn...

I sure am good, aren't i?

It was more like an impression.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Your friend is out of surgery.

It was touch and go, but looks like he'll pull through.

All right. Can we see him?

Yeah, but I should warn you, he's sedated.

Just out of surgery and already dating.

Ha, that's the man. Yo, tommy's bad.

Excuse me, cole, that means he's out of it,

Like you. Sit down.

Excuse me. Were you in the accident, too?

'Cause your head looks like it's all swollen.

Man, there's nothing wrong with my head.

I think you need a second opinion.

Aw, man.

Martin, you think they got a headologist up in here?

You don't need to see no headologist.

He was just telling me.

There ain't nothing wrong with your head.

Let's go. We need to be there

When tommy wakes up.

He needs to see some friendly faces.

O.k.? I said friendly faces.

O.k.? Not furry faces.

Stay. Stay.

Look, no matter what shape tommy is in,

Just don't react, o.k.?

But what if he looks really bad?

We been looking at you all these years,

It can't get no worse.

O.k. We'll just act like nothing happened.

There it is, o.k.?

Act like nothing happened.

Nothing happened.

Aah.

Awful.

Man, you look terrible.

Oh, tommy.

Oh, god.

All right. Re-remember, y'all,

We got to be strong.

Raise up. We got to be strong.

O.k. Tommy, are you in there?

It's your boy, marty-mart.

[Mumbles]

He said, "what's up, y'all?"

Hi, tommy! It's gina!

It's your boy, cole brown. Remember me?

Hey, tommy, pam's here.

Hi, baby.

Pam, would you back up off him?

Girl, your breath going to put him in a coma.

Shut up. Can't you see I'm grieving here?

All right, look.

Don't worry, tommy. Don't tommy look good, y'all?

Tommy, you look so good.

You look great.

Are we looking at the same brother here?

This brother here is tore up.

Cole, shut up.

Baby, the bandages don't look that bad.

In fact, they look kind of fly.

If king tut can rock it, baby,

You know you can, tom.

What can I do to make you feel more comfortable?

[Mumbles]

Baby, not with all these bandages on,

But when you get better, I promise we'll talk about it.

[Mumbles]

He wants me, y'all.

Pam, the man is sick, not desperate.

You know what we need?

We need some tunes. Let me turn this radio on.

Cole.

Stop it.

Cole. Cole.

You stop it.

Cole.

I got it. I got it. I got it. It's o.k.

What you-- that was a jam.

Cole, you're so dumb.

That wasn't a radio. That was a heart monitor.

'M I bad!

Dumb.

Hey. Yo, yo, yo...

I think that's tommy's wallet.

It might have a business card or something.

Sorry, tommy. I just got to know.

Gina, what does it say on it?

Uh, nothing. It's clear. Nothing on it.

That's 'cause he ain't got no job.

Don't worry, tommy.

Until you're back on your feet,

I'll pay all your bills, man.

Don't worry about it.

Martin, are you sure we can afford that?

I don't care. Tommy's my boy.

Hey, look, whatever you need, brother,

You just call on me. You hear me?

Whatever you need.

♪ Just call on me, brother ♪

♪ When you need a hand ♪

♪ We all need somebody to lean on ♪

You just might.

♪ Lean on me when you're not strong ♪

♪ And I'll be your friend ♪

[Cole] I'll help you.

♪ I'll help you carry on ♪

♪ For it won't be long ♪

♪ And I'm gonna need ♪

♪ Somebody to lean-- ♪♪

I wanted to give you a business card.

It's o.k. Um...

Here's my phone number.

Ohh...

Thank you.

Remember when we was kids? It was wild

'Cause like tommy was the only bald head third grader

I had ever seen.

I didn't know tommy was bald in third grade.

Yeah. He was the first member of the hair club for boys.

Look here, tommy, man.

Um, you my boy, man. You my best friend.

You like the brother I never had, man.

What I'm saying is,

I ain't got nothing but love for you, tommy.

I ain't got nothing but love for you, too, martin.

Wha--did y'all hear that?

Yeah.

It's a miracle.

Say something else, tommy.

I'm over here.

Tommy.

Tommy.

What the hell...

Man, I thought you was in an accident.

I was, man. I sprained my wrist, you see?

Wait a minute.

You had us worrying all damn night

Over a damned sprained wrist?

Man, you could've called a brother...

Let--let me know what was happening.

I didn't call you because you weren't speaking to me.

I think this'd be a good time for us to leave.

We'll wait in the waiting room

While you work this out.

Look, bro, I'm sorry that you guys

Worried about me.

I didn't think you cared.

Tommy, I know we wasn't speaking, man.

I ain't trying to see you get hurt--

Be in no accident, man, especially when it's my fault.

Nah, man. It had nothing to do with you.

I swerved to avoid hitting a dog.

A dog?

You know what, man?

We been friends for far too long

To be fighting over nothing.

I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry this whole thing

Just got blown out of control.

You--you cool, man. You all right, man.

Now let's go. Let's be out of here.

h*, martin. Is that all you got to say,

"I'm all that, and let's be out"?

Damn right, tommy.

Costing me $. An hour

To park up in here.

You can't say it, can you, bro?

You just can't say I'm sorry.

You can't say you're sorry.

What do you want?

Is that all you wanted, an apology?

Why didn't you just say so?

You know, that's easy, you know?

I'm up.

I'm s--

I'm so--

I'm sorry you ever...

I'm sorry you ever gave us

That fake a*s luggage in the first place.

That's what I'm sorry about.

I'm truly sorry about that.

Apology accepted.

On the real.

On the real, brother.

All right, on the the real.

Aww.

Who in the hell is that?

I don't know,

But I offered to pay his hospital bill.

Let's be out.

Don't want to leave without this.

Don't worry, brother. You going to be all right.

It's been a long night.

Yeah. You never know how much your friends mean to you

Till something happens.

Drop dead science, baby.

Drop dead science.

Martin...

Yeah.

Speaking of friends,

My friend didn't come visit me this month.

What you talking about?

Pam comes by here damn near every day,

Barking and scratching at the door.

What you talking about?

No, martin. Myotherfriend.

Gina, I thought I met all your friends.

O.k., O.k. Martin.

Whoo.

You know how I been nauseous and tired

And eating everything in sight?

Gina, you trying to tell me...

Baby, I'm not sure yet, but...

Maybe...

Are you trying to tell me

I might-- I might be a daddy?

Yeah, baby.

Whoo whoo whoo!

Whoo whoo whoo!

Martin, where you going?

I'm going to tell somebody that knows somebody

That knows somebody to tell somebody.

Hey, detroit,

Did y'all hear that?

Old marty-mart might be a daddy!

Whoo whoo whoo!

Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo!

Oh, baby.

Baby, are you happy?

Ohh.

Dance it, baby. Dance it!

Work it, daddy! Work it, daddy!
