Boy, what a great place
to sh**t a video.
There's tables, chairs...
Aluminum palm trees.
I can't wait to meet
Whitney Houston.
[IMITATING MC]
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.
Hey, back, you animals.
All right, for my first number,
I'd like to do
an eight!
Dad, Whitney could be here
any minute. Come on.
[NORMALLY]
Whitney won't mind.
She's a friend of Kate's.
Edward, get off the stage.
[IMITATES MC]
No, no, you're too generous.
Where is she? Did I miss her?
Am I early? Is she late?
Oh, really, Alfonso,
must you carry on so?
Yeah! How often do you meet
the Whitney Houston?
Sorry. I don't share
your adolescent enthusiasm
with show biz folk.
[SCOFFS]
Whitney's one of
the nicest people I know.
Now that her career's
taking off,
she's gonna need
a business manager.
Then where is she?
You just got here, Dexter.
On time.
Listen, I've dealt with
some of these people.
They're disorganized flakes,
irresponsible renegades, and--
Hi.
Incredible goddesses.
KATE:
Whitney!
Oh, give me a hug.
Yep, that's her, all right.
You look terrific.
So do you.
Marriage must agree with you.
Well, yes.
I'd like you to meet
my husband, Edward.
I agree with her.
[CHUCKLES]
And my stepson, Rick.
Hi.
Hi.
And our friends,
Dexter Stuffins,
And his nephew Alfonso.
Hi, hi.
Dex?
Dex, you okay?
[MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY]
You must be the man who is
going to help me with my money.
[MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY]
That's accountant talk
for "yes."
Dexter is one of
accounting's grand masters.
Yeah. He does
H&R Block's taxes.
Aren't you too busy to help
show biz folk like Whitney?
[MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY]
Well, why don't you
give Whitney your card?
No, no.
Not your car, your card.
Business card.
Thank you.
[COUGHS]
Alfonso, get dressed.
My dad will be here
any minute.
Good morning.
Hi, Rick.
Listen, I can't decide. Which
one of these do you like better?
Well, they look
about the same to me.
Well, they're not.
This is dark blue.
And this is midnight blue.
Oh, no wonder
you can't decide.
What's the matter, Dexter?
You seem nervous.
I'm not nervous. Who's nervous?
Why would I be nervous?
Just, you're acting
like you're nervous.
Because you keep asking me
if I'm nervous.
Why are you wearing a tie,
anyway? It's Saturday.
Richard,
proper business etiquette
does not end on weekends.
Plus, Whitney Houston's
stopping by,
and I wanted
to dress appropriately
for a business meeting.
You like her, don't you?
Oh, Lord, yes!
A thousand times, yes.
I've never been smitten
like this in my entire life.
How does it feel
to be "smitten?"
Ooh, it's wonderful.
[GIGGLES]
It's terrible. It's joyous.
It's maddening.
I can't eat, I can't sleep,
yet I don't seem to care.
Maybe I'm in love.
[GIGGLES]
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, let's hope it's love.
[GROANS]
It's hopeless.
She lives in a world
of champagne and I'm tap water.
Why don't you ask her out?
The worst she can say is no.
Getting rejected by Whitney
would be worse than
failing an IRS audit.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I got it!
Please, promise me
you won't breathe
a word of this to anyone, okay?
Okay, your secret's safe.
Morning, guys.
Hey, Dex. What's new?
I love Whitney Houston.
Does Whitney know this?
Aw, she won't be interested
in a man like me.
I've seen her in MTV.
You watch MTV?
You must be in love.
I saw her in this
music award show
with a bunch of trendy men.
Men with names
like "Sean" and "Chuck."
Hey, don't sell yourself short.
You can do it. Go after her.
You can be
as trendy as anyone.
I don't think
you've ever noticed,
but I tend to be
more traditional, reserved.
Oh, come on.
Remember when I asked you
if I could stay up after ,
and you went like this:
That was cool!
That midnight blue tie
is pretty outrageous, dude.
It's dark blue.
Well, there's lot of things
you can do, Dex.
Sure there is. I'll bet
under that stuffy Dexter,
there's a cool Dexter.
Way under!
Sure there is.
[CHUCKLES]
First thing you've gotta do
is lose the jacket.
Yeah, and the vest too.
And the shirt.
But--
No, "buts."
We've gotta lose some of these
accountant layers.
[GROANS]
Hello.
What's this, now?
Look at this shirt!
I gave it to him
for Christmas.
No, keep that on.
And you wear this jacket.
Oh, no, I couldn't.
Yes, you could.
Think of Whitney.
[WHINES]
All right. Roll up the sleeves.
Pull up the sleeves, yeah.
All right.
He still needs something.
I've got it.
Ohh.
Come on.
Not bad.
Look out!
Where?
It's just an expression!
Try to loosen up a little bit.
Okay.
[SIGHS]
How's that?
That was great. It was so cool
you couldn't even see it.
Yeah, I think it's time
for some noticeable cool.
First, the walk.
Now, watch me.
Follow me,
do what I do. Ready?
Uh-huh.
Come on. You can do it.
Just do exactly what I do.
Now, do it the same way I do.
Uh-huh. There you go.
This may be the first time
in history
a white man has ever taught
a Black man how to walk.
A little more strut.
Yeah.
Mm-hm, yeah.
I'm starting to feel different,
like I want to "get up!"
[STAMMERS]
That's "get down."
At least you had
the "get" part right.
Dressing up like this,
trying to act cool--
It makes me think.
What's that?
I must be
really desperate.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Oh, no.
No, we'll leave
you here.
You and Whitney
can discuss business.
No, no, no, no,
don't leave.
Listen, you'll do fine, okay?
You'll knock her dead.
Remember, cool is a feeling.
Good. It's a feeling.
I feel like a ninny.
How you doing, fellows?
We were just leaving.
For breakfast.
Love those flapjacks!
Dexter?
For sure.
Dexter Stuffins?
You can call me Dex.
Oh, my. Dex,
you look different.
Well, Monday through Friday
is one thing,
but on weekends,
I like to...
[SNAPS FINGERS]
...get down!
Well, how many weekends
you been doing this?
[SNAPS FINGERS]
One.
Does this have
anything to do with me?
Everything.
Do you think it's wise
to mix business with pleasure?
Oh, business, schmizness.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Take five, guys.
Thanks, Mark.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Can you believe it?
We did it.
Miracles do happen.
Ahem. Ahem.
Hi, guys.
Oh, hi.
Oh, my wardrobe is here.
I'll be back in a second.
Okay.
Isn't she marvelous?
Yeah!
We thought we'd drop by
and watch Whitney rehearse.
You know, I owe you two
major thanks.
You've helped give me guts
to open my mind,
update my threads.
Aw, it was nothing.
Yeah, we do it all the time.
As you probably know
from the past weekend,
Whitney's become
my main squeeze.
And in a couple of weeks, she'll
be going back to Los Angeles.
Now, the old Dex
would've watched her go.
But the new Dex is gonna be
making a scene
out there with her.
What are you
talking about?
We are moving to L.A.
next week, Alfonso.
You are?
It's gonna be great.
Surf's up.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Come in.
Hey, Rick.
What are you doing?
Fishing.
Great. My life's falling apart,
and you're making jokes.
I was just trying
to cheer you up.
Who knew Dexter
would go berserk?
Ever since he met Whitney,
he hasn't told me once
to go to my room and study.
And you're upset about that?
It's hard to believe,
but I miss it.
At least he paid
attention to me.
I don't want to go
to California.
Well, listen, I don't
want you to go either.
I don't belong there.
Nobody belongs in California.
They just go.
Besides, it might not
be that bad.
Oh, yeah? What am I
gonna do all day long?
Give people their space?
Well you could...
[IMITATING SURFER]
...like, sit by the freeway,
mon, and eat some smog. Ha, ha.
I'm tired of moving.
First, my mom went to Kenya
to dig old bones.
Now, my uncle's going to
California to dig young bones.
I wish you could
stay here.
That's it.
That's what I'll do!
Maybe we should ask
my parents first.
Do we have to?
It's a big house.
What do you want me to do,
sneak you food after dinner?
I like my steak medium.
Listen, I think you should talk
to Dexter about this.
Why bother? He'll be in L.A.
three weeks and say:
"What a mind bend. Where
did that little dude go?"
[EDWARD GRUNTING]
DEVICE:
You have completed
your first set.
Heart rate, .
Calories burned, six.
Six?
Proceed to bench press.
All right. All right.
[EDWARD PANTS, GRUNTS]
One...
Two...
Eighteen...
Nineteen...
Twenty.
Wow. You're up
to reps.
Ha.
No sweat.
You have completed
five reps.
Wow. You worked so hard
you broke the machine.
Thank you.
You shoulda chowed down
with us, man. It was bad.
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that.
No, "bad" is good, Eddie.
Ah, you've been hanging out
with Whitney's musicians again.
They took us to that new punk
restaurant, the Stapled Fish.
It's the first time
I ever had lobster
that was slam-danced
to death.
I thought you were
up to your neck
in new plant site
negotiations?
I forgot to tell you,
The deal fell through.
What? We worked for months
on those negotiations.
Eddie, Eddie. You got to go
with the flow.
You've already flowed to L.A.
What happened with the deal?
It's bad karma, man.
This from a man who
just gave up suspenders.
Who said I gave them up?
I've got to get back
to the hotel. I must pack.
Oh, I'll drive you.
No, it's okay.
It's only fair.
I drive you places,
you drive me crazy.
I'll send you
that song I'm writing.
I didn't know
you wrote a song.
Yeah. It's called,
"Love Is a Mystery to Me."
You're not kidding.
See you, doll.
So good seeing you.
Have a good flight.
I will. Edward, it was
nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Whitney.
Next time
you see me,
I'll be a strapping hunk.
Bye, Kate.
Bye, hon.
See you later.
You can let
your breath out now.
It's hard to be upset
at Dexter when he's so happy.
I know.
Whitney's pretty happy too.
Upset is more like it.
That's not even
close to happy.
You're dogging it.
I'm busy, do you mind?
What's the matter?
Well, Dexter's decision
to move to California
caught her by surprise.
I thought she liked him.
Well, she does, in New York.
Whitney never
intended for him
to give up his whole life
for her.
Don't you think
she should tell him about this?
Well, she did.
Oh. Then why
is he so happy?
Love is deaf.
If you're finished,
you've completed the preschool
and elderly infirm workout.
Dad, we need to talk
about Dexter.
Yeah, there seems to be
a lot of that going around.

[DOORBELL RINGS]
Dexter.
Yo, babe.
What's going down?
Uh...
We have to talk, in English.
Well, lay it on me, bro.
Don't you think you're acting
a little impulsively?
Absolutely.
And I used to think
wearing a paisley tie
was a walk
on the wild side.
Well, it's your life,
and I respect that.
But I'm your friend,
and I'm concerned
that you're making a major
decision like this so quickly.
For years, you were
telling me, "Loosen up, Dex."
Yeah, but not all at once.
You don't have
any experience in this.
You're way past loose.
You're practically liquid.
Yeah.
This is Dexter, unchained.
[SNAPS FINGERS]
Ha, ha.
[SIGHS]
All I'm asking
you to do is...
Take a look at things
before you
turn your life inside-out.
You have no idea
what's happening to me.
Well, sure I do.
I know about
whirlwind romances.
The minute I saw
Rick's mom,
I knew we were meant
for each other.
That's exactly how I feel.
So I dropped
everything for her.
That's exactly
what I'm doing.
Our marriage lasted
seven days.
You did it wrong.
That won't happen with us.
Are you sure?
Well, Whitney's a little
like I used to be,
you know, into her career.
But I'm betting
I can turn her around.
You're betting an awful lot.
Your business.
Friends.
Your wardrobe.
Rick and Alfonso
are outside.
They have something
they want to ask you.
No sweat.
Uncle Dexter, can I
sleep over at Rick's?
For sure.
For the rest of my life?
Aw, I know
what's happening here.
You're bummed about the move,
that's cool.
It's not cool.
Look, in a week's time
you're gonna be
cruising down Sunset Boulevard
in a convertible,
digging the vibes.
Maybe he digs
the vibes here.
We've got plenty of room,
right, Dad?
Alfonso asked
to stay with us.
But that's a decision
you'll have to make, Dex.
Do you wanna stay here?
Yeah. I don't wanna get
in the way of you and Whitney,
but I can't handle
moving again.
I know how he feels.
I've been bounced around
a lot.
It's no fun
always being the new kid,
always having
to prove yourself.
I finally found a place
where I belong.
And a good friend.
I didn't even
think about that.
That's 'cause
you were too busy
thinking about suspenders
and karma.
That's an unfair
accusation.
Is it? Come here. Come on.
Take a look
at yourself.
What do you see?
I'm trendy. I'm a yuppy.
An ' s "me" person, I'm...
Everything you all
encouraged me to be.
We thought it was
a good idea at the time.
Yeah. We were wrong.
Take a look again.
Now, imagine yourself
at a Harvard reunion.
Oh, my Lord.
What have I done
with myself?
You fell in love.
You can plead
temporary insanity.
I've never felt this way before
in my entire life.
Love is pretty
dangerous stuff.
Whitney's a terrific girl.
You've got great taste, right?
I'm sorry, Alfonso.
I didn't think of you
in this equation.
Did you just say "equation?"
Affirmative.
"Affirmative?"
He's back!
The fever's broken! Ha!
[LAUGHING]
Listen, I'm not ready
to give up everything.
We're staying!
Ah, you are!
Where's my vest?
It's right here.
[GRUNTS]
All right. Much better.
[LAUGHING]
Look out!
Go to your room
and study.
I can dig it!
Stop talking like that!
Thanks, guys.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
[CHUCKLES]
Welcome back, buddy.
Rick and I
will get that.
See you later. Bye-bye.
See you.
[SIGHS]
Ooh, you sure get around.
We were just leaving.
For breakfast.
It's : .
It's a late breakfast.
Love those flapjacks.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm on my way to the airport.
Already?
Yeah.
Look, about you moving
to California--
Please. I'll
see you in L.A.
On vacation.
But I don't think
I'm going to be moving there.
It occurs to me
we may be going too fast.
Well, if you think so.
Are you gonna be all right?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
We'll keep seeing each other.
I'd like that.
Well, thanks for
letting me down easy.
No, it's just that--
See, Whit, I sorta lost sight
of who I really am.
When you're around,
all I see is you.
You make me crazy, woman.
Whoo!
Well, thanks for dinner, Dex.
It was delicious.
My pleasure.
Listen, I appreciate
the concern for me
since Whitney returned
to California.
Well, you've only been back
in your wing tips a few days.
I assure you I'm fine now.
Well, I talked to Whitney today.
Oh? Did she say
anything about me?
Mm. Not much.
Just that it was the best
seven days of her life.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah. It's quite
an eventful week.
I love it when he talks
like that.
Well, what do you say
we boogie on home?
[LAUGHING]
Mm-hmm.
Right on, bro.
Mm-hmm.
Bye.
To bed.
Uncle Dexter,
do you still think about
moving to California?
Sometimes.
But I'm glad we stayed.
Me too. Good night.
Come over here.
Good night.
See you.

trying to act cool--
It makes me think.
What's that?
I must be
really desperate.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Oh, no.
No, we'll leave
you here.
You and Whitney
can discuss business.
No, no, no, no,
don't leave.
Listen, you'll do fine, okay?
You'll knock her dead.
Remember, cool is a feeling.
Good. It's a feeling.
I feel like a ninny.
How you doing, fellows?
We were just leaving.
For breakfast.
Love those flapjacks!
Dexter?
For sure.
Dexter Stuffins?
You can call me Dex.
Oh, my. Dex,
you look different.
Well, Monday through Friday
is one thing,
but on weekends,
I like to...
[SNAPS FINGERS]
...get down!
Well, how many weekends
you been doing this?
[SNAPS FINGERS]
One.
Does this have
anything to do with me?
Everything.
Do you think it's wise
to mix business with pleasure?
Oh, business, schmizness.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Take five, guys.
Thanks, Mark.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Can you believe it?
We did it.
Miracles do happen.
Ahem. Ahem.
Hi, guys.
Oh, hi.
Oh, my wardrobe is here.
I'll be back in a second.
Okay.
Isn't she marvelous?
Yeah!
We thought we'd drop by
and watch Whitney rehearse.
You know, I owe you two
major thanks.
You've helped give me guts
to open my mind,
update my threads.
Aw, it was nothing.
Yeah, we do it all the time.
As you probably know
from the past weekend,
Whitney's become
my main squeeze.
And in a couple of weeks, she'll
be going back to Los Angeles.
Now, the old Dex
would've watched her go.
But the new Dex is gonna be
making a scene
out there with her.
What are you
talking about?
We are moving to L.A.
next week, Alfonso.
You are?
It's gonna be great.
Surf's up.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Come in.
Hey, Rick.
What are you doing?
Fishing.
Great. My life's falling apart,
and you're making jokes.
I was just trying
to cheer you up.
Who knew Dexter
would go berserk?
Ever since he met Whitney,
he hasn't told me once
to go to my room and study.
And you're upset about that?
It's hard to believe,
but I miss it.
At least he paid
attention to me.
I don't want to go
to California.
Well, listen, I don't
want you to go either.
I don't belong there.
Nobody belongs in California.
They just go.
Besides, it might not
be that bad.
Oh, yeah? What am I
gonna do all day long?
Give people their space?
Well you could...
[IMITATING SURFER]
...like, sit by the freeway,
mon, and eat some smog. Ha, ha.
I'm tired of moving.
First, my mom went to Kenya
to dig old bones.
Now, my uncle's going to
California to dig young bones.
I wish you could
stay here.
That's it.
That's what I'll do!
Maybe we should ask
my parents first.
Do we have to?
It's a big house.
What do you want me to do,
sneak you food after dinner?
I like my steak medium.
Listen, I think you should talk
to Dexter about this.
Why bother? He'll be in L.A.
three weeks and say:
"What a mind bend. Where
did that little dude go?"
[EDWARD GRUNTING]
DEVICE:
You have completed
your first set.
Heart rate, .
Calories burned, six.
Six?
Proceed to bench press.
All right. All right.
[EDWARD PANTS, GRUNTS]
One...
Two...
Eighteen...
Nineteen...
Twenty.
Wow. You're up
to reps.
Ha.
No sweat.
You have completed
five reps.
Wow. You worked so hard
you broke the machine.
Thank you.
You shoulda chowed down
with us, man. It was bad.
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that.
No, "bad" is good, Eddie.
Ah, you've been hanging out
with Whitney's musicians again.
They took us to that new punk
restaurant, the Stapled Fish.
It's the first time
I ever had lobster
that was slam-danced
to death.
I thought you were
up to your neck
in new plant site
negotiations?
I forgot to tell you,
The deal fell through.
What? We worked for months
on those negotiations.
Eddie, Eddie. You got to go
with the flow.
You've already flowed to L.A.
What happened with the deal?
It's bad karma, man.
This from a man who
just gave up suspenders.
Who said I gave them up?
I've got to get back
to the hotel. I must pack.
Oh, I'll drive you.
No, it's okay.
It's only fair.
I drive you places,
you drive me crazy.
I'll send you
that song I'm writing.
I didn't know
you wrote a song.
Yeah. It's called,
"Love Is a Mystery to Me."
You're not kidding.
See you, doll.
So good seeing you.
Have a good flight.
I will. Edward, it was
nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Whitney.
Next time
you see me,
I'll be a strapping hunk.
Bye, Kate.
Bye, hon.
See you later.
You can let
your breath out now.
It's hard to be upset
at Dexter when he's so happy.
I know.
Whitney's pretty happy too.
Upset is more like it.
That's not even
close to happy.
You're dogging it.
I'm busy, do you mind?
What's the matter?
Well, Dexter's decision
to move to California
caught her by surprise.
I thought she liked him.
Well, she does, in New York.
Whitney never
intended for him
to give up his whole life
for her.
Don't you think
she should tell him about this?
Well, she did.
Oh. Then why
is he so happy?
Love is deaf.
If you're finished,
you've completed the preschool
and elderly infirm workout.
Dad, we need to talk
about Dexter.
Yeah, there seems to be
a lot of that going around.

[DOORBELL RINGS]
Dexter.
Yo, babe.
What's going down?
Uh...
We have to talk, in English.
Well, lay it on me, bro.
Don't you think you're acting
a little impulsively?
Absolutely.
And I used to think
wearing a paisley tie
was a walk
on the wild side.
Well, it's your life,
and I respect that.
But I'm your friend,
and I'm concerned
that you're making a major
decision like this so quickly.
For years, you were
telling me, "Loosen up, Dex."
Yeah, but not all at once.
You don't have
any experience in this.
You're way past loose.
You're practically liquid.
Yeah.
This is Dexter, unchained.
[SNAPS FINGERS]
Ha, ha.
[SIGHS]
All I'm asking
you to do is...
Take a look at things
before you
turn your life inside-out.
You have no idea
what's happening to me.
Well, sure I do.
I know about
whirlwind romances.
The minute I saw
Rick's mom,
I knew we were meant
for each other.
That's exactly how I feel.
So I dropped
everything for her.
That's exactly
what I'm doing.
Our marriage lasted
seven days.
You did it wrong.
That won't happen with us.
Are you sure?
Well, Whitney's a little
like I used to be,
you know, into her career.
But I'm betting
I can turn her around.
You're betting an awful lot.
Your business.
Friends.
Your wardrobe.
Rick and Alfonso
are outside.
They have something
they want to ask you.
No sweat.
Uncle Dexter, can I
sleep over at Rick's?
For sure.
For the rest of my life?
Aw, I know
what's happening here.
You're bummed about the move,
that's cool.
It's not cool.
Look, in a week's time
you're gonna be
cruising down Sunset Boulevard
in a convertible,
digging the vibes.
Maybe he digs
the vibes here.
We've got plenty of room,
right, Dad?
Alfonso asked
to stay with us.
But that's a decision
you'll have to make, Dex.
Do you wanna stay here?
Yeah. I don't wanna get
in the way of you and Whitney,
but I can't handle
moving again.
I know how he feels.
I've been bounced around
a lot.
It's no fun
always being the new kid,
always having
to prove yourself.
I finally found a place
where I belong.
And a good friend.
I didn't even
think about that.
That's 'cause
you were too busy
thinking about suspenders
and karma.
That's an unfair
accusation.
Is it? Come here. Come on.
Take a look
at yourself.
What do you see?
I'm trendy. I'm a yuppy.
An ' s "me" person, I'm...
Everything you all
encouraged me to be.
We thought it was
a good idea at the time.
Yeah. We were wrong.
Take a look again.
Now, imagine yourself
at a Harvard reunion.
Oh, my Lord.
What have I done
with myself?
You fell in love.
You can plead
temporary insanity.
I've never felt this way before
in my entire life.
Love is pretty
dangerous stuff.
Whitney's a terrific girl.
You've got great taste, right?
I'm sorry, Alfonso.
I didn't think of you
in this equation.
Did you just say "equation?"
Affirmative.
"Affirmative?"
He's back!
The fever's broken! Ha!
[LAUGHING]
Listen, I'm not ready
to give up everything.
We're staying!
Ah, you are!
Where's my vest?
It's right here.
[GRUNTS]
All right. Much better.
[LAUGHING]
Look out!
Go to your room
and study.
I can dig it!
Stop talking like that!
Thanks, guys.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
[CHUCKLES]
Welcome back, buddy.
Rick and I
will get that.
See you later. Bye-bye.
See you.
[SIGHS]
Ooh, you sure get around.
We were just leaving.
For breakfast.
It's : .
It's a late breakfast.
Love those flapjacks.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm on my way to the airport.
Already?
Yeah.
Look, about you moving
to California--
Please. I'll
see you in L.A.
On vacation.
But I don't think
I'm going to be moving there.
It occurs to me
we may be going too fast.
Well, if you think so.
Are you gonna be all right?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
We'll keep seeing each other.
I'd like that.
Well, thanks for
letting me down easy.
No, it's just that--
See, Whit, I sorta lost sight
of who I really am.
When you're around,
all I see is you.
You make me crazy, woman.
Whoo!
Well, thanks for dinner, Dex.
It was delicious.
My pleasure.
Listen, I appreciate
the concern for me
since Whitney returned
to California.
Well, you've only been back
in your wing tips a few days.
I assure you I'm fine now.
Well, I talked to Whitney today.
Oh? Did she say
anything about me?
Mm. Not much.
Just that it was the best
seven days of her life.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah. It's quite
an eventful week.
I love it when he talks
like that.
Well, what do you say
we boogie on home?
[LAUGHING]
Mm-hmm.
Right on, bro.
Mm-hmm.
Bye.
To bed.
Uncle Dexter,
do you still think about
moving to California?
Sometimes.
But I'm glad we stayed.
Me too. Good night.
Come over here.
Good night.
See you.
