- Good morning, good morning.
Good morning.
- Morning.
- Brown, you here again man?
You around here more than my hemorrhoids
and I liked them better.
- Ain't nobody here to see you.
I'm here to see Philip.
- Great timing, I'm almost finished.
- He is fixing my VCR.
- Excuse me?
- You pooted or something?
- No, why do you still have a VCR?
- He's so old because he knew the Dead Sea
when it only had a fever.
- [laughter]
- I have you to know I still got a VCR
because I like to watch my old church tapes.
- Ah, okay, I hear you, Mr. Brown.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Must be cool to be able to watch
your favorite sermons again.
- Man, he don't give a damn about them sermons.
He only watch them tapes because that's when he had hair.
- Yeah, I miss, ooh, my Jheri curl was way down here.
It was sharp too. It was long.
- Alrighty, here's your VCR as good as new.
- Well, God bless you.
God bless y'all.
Some of y'all, not all of y'all.
- You know what, Son?
You fix a lot of things around here.
Maybe you should think about starting
a little business or something.
- Really? - Yeah, think about it.
That way, I ain't gotta give you no allowance.
- Philip dear, I need you to drive me
to my hair appointment and step on it.
- You want me to step on your hair appointment?
- Oh, I am quite a hurry.
I forgot it was today and I'm already late.
- Oh yeah, sure I can take you.
- I miss the days when I had my own personal hair stylist.
You know, Rudy was his name.
No, Rudy was my personal chef's name.
I remember that because Rudy rhymes with patootie
and his jiggled as much as his jello molds.
But why can't I remember my personal hairstylist's name?
- Look, your memory's fine.
It was just a long, long, long, long--
- I get it Philip.
- Time ago.
- I'm not worried about my memory.
Aren't we supposed to be having breakfast?
- So, we don't have to go to your hair appointment?
Oh, oh, oh, yes.
My plate, yes.
What are you waiting for?
- ♪ No matter what you do ♪
♪ I love you ♪
♪ No matter where you go ♪
♪ I'm behind you for sure ♪
♪ Always remember ♪
♪ Blood ain't never water ♪
♪ We'll make it if we stay together ♪
♪ Blood ain't never water ♪ - Oh, there he go, Mr. Fix It, hisself.
- Hey, Mr. Brown.
Uh, how's the VCR?
- Oh, it's working good as gravy.
Hey, uh, you think you're gonna have time
to fix some more of my broken stuff?
Um, sure, yeah, just bring it by whenever.
- Oh, okay.
There you go. All my stuff.
All this just broke at one time.
It was working and next thing you know,
all of it just clocked out and broke at the same time.
- All, all at the same time?
- All at the same time.
- Your hair dryer conked out on you?
- Yeah, yeah, it just went out.
- Your hair dryer?
- Like most men, I like to blow dry
my chest hairs when I get out the shower.
- Ew, what, why?
- Because I don't want my chest hairs
looking like soggy ground meat
when I get out the shower.
- Why you have a baby bottle warmer?
- You, you don't have one?
- I mean, I don't have a baby, so.
- Well, when young people stressing old people out,
they take a little sip of warm milk
to take the edge off before they go to bed.
- Okay.
- Okay, so--
- No, no, don't even tell me.
- Okay, I'll tell you what.
I'll give you 20 bucks if you fix all of this stuff.
But you got to have it fixed by Tuesday.
- Sure, yeah, I, I can have it done by Tuesday.
- Okay, good. God bless you.
Oh, you're good. You're on your way.
You're gonna be the next you if you let you.
Hang in there.
- [door bell]
- A spray tan machine for that bronze glow?
- Up, one, two.
A six letter word for breakfast that starts with a C.
- Cereal.
- Oh good thinking.
I was gonna put caviar.
Down, one, two.
- What are you up to, Ms. Anastasia?
- Oh, I'm getting my workout in.
- While doing a crossword puzzle?
- I like to multitask. It keeps the mind healthy.
- Didn't Cora come and, and do an exercise
with you all this morning?
- She sure did.
- Vincent, if you want to ogle me while I do leg lifts
you don't need an excuse to come in.
Just pull up a chair and enjoy the show.
- I'm gonna go get some popcorn, girl.
- Oh.
- I enjoyed Cora's workout so much
I decided to do it again.
- Miss Anastasia, you have come a long way.
Remember when you first got here
and you tried to get us to sign that silly contract
before you would even exercise?
- To hold you liable if your workout
made me break a nail or sweat my hair out.
Just goes to show you how quickly things change.
You know my cocktail of choice used to be Sex on a Bar.
- Oh, you mean Sex on the Beach.
- No, Sex on a Bar.
I assure you, it's so much better.
It was invented by this bartender
in Casablanca one steamy night shortly after he and I--
- Oh, uh, that is, it is too early
for the origin of that story.
Thanks, though.
- Anyhoo, look at me now drinking broccoli,
kale and prune juice.
[burps]
I haven't decided if it tastes more like dirt in a glass
or if a lifetime of bitter disappointment was a beverage.
- Everything you are doing exercise, brain games
and antioxidant smoothies are great ways
to keep the mind healthy.
And I know why you're taking these next steps
to improve your memory all of a sudden.
- You do?
- Because you finally started listening to me
after my health fair and started exercising
and eating right with my constant encouragement.
- I did. I mean, yes, I did.
All of your advice finally sunk in all on their own.
- It feels so good to know all my hard work is paying off.
I'm so proud of you, Anastasia.
It is never too early to start healthy habits.
- Yes, my mind is perfectly healthy.
Just a little preventive maintenance.
- You can afford to sweeten up your smoothie.
I'll text you some recipes.
- Okay, thanks. - Mm hmm.
- Where's my, where's my phone?
Oh, there you are.
- I am so impressed by how talented Philip is.
- Yeah, I'm impressed too.
But you know, I can't say I'm surprised.
You know his daddy got a little bit of talent too.
It's kind of a no brainer that my son will be the same thing.
Oh, uh, wind took that.
- I'm so proud of him.
We should encourage his talent to fix things
as much as we encourage excellence in chemistry.
- Aw nah, for sure, for sure.
I actually just told him he should start his own business.
- Hey Dad, um, can I ask you something?
- JEREMY: Yeah, what's up?
- It's Mr Brown. He, he did something weird.
- Did he challenge Grandpa Vinny to a dance battle again?
- No, um, he asked me to fix some more of his things,
but I don't think it's his stuff.
In fact, I'm positive.
- You know somebody and then they surprise you.
You know, your aunt Carol, quiet Aunt Carol
has an electric guitar?
- Well, uh, Mr. Brown has a spray tanning machine
and a baby bottle warmer.
- Ah, nah.
- Mr. Brown is definitely up to something.
- Yeah, I'm about to call him.
- Wait, wait, wait Dad, Dad, uh, let me handle it.
I, I just wanted you guys's opinion that's all.
- You know what? You're right.
This is your thing and you are perfectly capable
of handling this on your own.
Imma butt out this time.
- Thanks, Dad. - Mm hmm.
So, how you wanna handle this?
- Um, I think I should see what he's up to first
before I make any accusations.
- Yeah. You know what?
You probably can just go over his house
and look in the window.
- Stop it. You said you was gonna leave it alone
- Or I can just
look it up online. Yeah.
Oh, wow.
- What?
Oh my god.
Why is Mr Brown dancing around in gold Hammer pants
with a tool belt on doing the running man
talking about it's Hammer time?
- It looks like he filmed a video to advertise
his latest business venture, Hammer Time Repair Shop.
- Wait he's charging people $50 each
and only paying me 20 total?
- Uh-uh, see.
See, he's trying to treat you as his own personal sweatshop.
No, uh-uh, I'm definitely calling him now.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Dad,
Dad you said you would let me handle it.
So let me handle it.
- You sure?
- Yes, I got it.
- Alright, Son, we're here if you need us.
- Now Dad, when Mr. Brown gets here, please remember.
- I know.
Let you handle it. Don't butt in.
I got you. I promise. Alright?
- [door bell]
- I'll believe it when I see it.
- Brown, Philip got to tell you something right now.
Come on.
- Okay what is it? Is it something wrong?
Go ahead, tell him, Son.
- One, one second.
Please stop. - What?
- Dad, Dad, let me handle it.
- Alright, well, handle it. You're going slow.
- Okay, can you relax? Just relax.
I've got it handled already.
- Okay. Alright, well, you got 30 seconds.
- No, I have as long as need.
- Alright, go ahead. You got it.
- What I was gonna say is, uh, I fixed your things.
- Yeah! What?
You did what?
- And that it took me a while, but I was able to get it done.
- See, I knew I could count on you.
I knew I can count on you. You good.
- Pleasure doing business with you.
- Yes, it is. It is your pleasure.
Yes it is.
- What the, what, what? What about the--?
- Oh, oh, oh, hey, I forgot about, uh, here you go, bam.
20 dollars.
- 20 dollars? - Whoa, whoa.
- 20 dollars, 20 dollars?
- Is that too much? - 20 dollars?
- That's too much?
- Hey, you're real tense right now.
You're really tense. Just breathe.
- MR. BROWN: Huh, huh. He's so good.
- I'm good. I'm good. I'm good.
- Ain't bad for a teenage hobby, is it?
- Right, once again, pleasure's all mine.
- It is all yours.
You know, I got a confession to make.
- Finally, thank you.
- It's something I just want to tell you.
I just, I can't hold it no more.
- Yeah, go ahead, tell him. - Okay.
What I'm gonna tell you is, you know, I knew one day
you'd make a fantastic entremanure.
- Entrepreneur. But thank you.
Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Brown.
- Yes, thank you. Thank you.
- That's it? Nothing else?
Nothing else you want to tell him?
- You know what?
Yes, I got to tell you this.
You should consider walking in your daddy's footsteps
and starting your own business.
- Mm, really? - You smart. Yes.
- Thank you. - Oh my God.
Are you kidding me?
- No, I'm not kidding you.
This boy's smart.
You ain't seen it.
That's because you ain't been looking.
With them eyes you should be able to see anything.
This boy is a genius.
Uh, where the rest of my stuff?
I got to get out of here.
- Dad. Dad. - Son, what are you doing?
- Dad, Dad! Dad, I've got it handled.
Okay?
I'm gonna get the rest of your stuff right now.
- Yeah. Get your daddy something.
He seem a little intense like he mad.
You mad or something?
You just, you mad.
Are you okay?
You know, you shouldn't do your face like that.
It's, going down.
- Leah, thank you for coming on such short notice.
The others will be here shortly.
- Miss Anastasia.
Your activities playing pin the tail
on that horseshoe-looking thing with big ears.
What the hell?
- It's pin the tail on the donkey.
Thank you, Vincent.
- Okay, I'll see what I can find.
- Miss Anastasia, you invited everybody to a going away party.
Are you leaving the facility?
- Heavens no.
- Oh okay, thank goodness.
- Not physically, anyway.
- What do you mean?
- Miss Anastasia, you've got one song on the playlist?
"Remember the Time"?
- That's quite alright, Vinny.
By the time it plays again, I will think I already heard it.
- Miss Anastasia, what's going on?
- You may have noticed of late my forgetfulness.
So I decided that I would address the elephant in the room
and have a little lighthearted fun.
- Mhm.
I see what's going on here.
You are throwing a going away party for your mind.
- Yes dear.
And I hope you sincerely enjoy it.
Not that I would remember either way.
So the pressure's off.
A hidden perk of one who's losing their marbles I suppose.
- Miss Anastasia you just made a joke of cognitive decline.
That's not funny.
- Not even the forget me nots?
Okay, fine.
It was in poor taste.
But it's what I'm used to doing.
You know, I didn't have the best of childhoods.
So I learned to use humor to mask the pain.
- Tears of a clown.
- Precisely.
I think I became an actress so that could pretend
to be someone else.
So that I didn't have to face the hurt
that came along with being myself.
- So you're scared of getting dementia
and all of this is your way of getting over that fear.
I can understand that.
- I love all the friends and the memories
that I've made over the years.
The glorious triumphs that I've been blessed to accomplish.
- Miss Anastasia, you've done so much in your life, so much.
- And to think that all those memories are gonna fade one day.
Who is Anastasia Devereaux without her memories?
Without her mind?
Leah...
I'm not scared.
I'm flat out terrified.
- Miss Anastasia, your recent wellness checkup
was great and I haven't seen any abnormal signs
of memory loss since.
But decline can happen fast and clearly you are worried.
So later this week, I'll make you a doctor's appointment.
Okay? - Okay.
We'll get a cognitive assessment and a physical.
- Okay.
Can we go to the cute Dr. Raul?
- You think Dr. Raul is cute?
- You know, Son, the way you handled things
with Mr. Brown, still fixing his stuff
after you knew he was pulling the okie doke,
that ain't how I would have handled that, Son.
- I know, Dad, but--
- But I know, you're not me.
You handled things the way you wanted to
and I respect that. - [doorbell rings]
- Thanks Dad, I appreciate that, but that's--
- Philip, what's the big deal?
- Uh, big deals of today?
Um, the, the invention of the wheel.
The invention of the internet.
Uh, but I'm not gonna lie.
The invention of the cheese in the pizza crust was major.
- No, I'm talking about none of this junk is working.
- Of course it works, I fixed it.
- Okay, okay.
Technically, it works, but it ain't working right.
- Oh, what you talking about?
- Look, this blow dryer is not blowing forward.
It's sucking backwards.
And the clock in here I gave you to fix
is not going clockwise, it's going counterclockwise.
And the spray tan machine turned the white lady whiter.
- I mean, turning me white.
I was trying to cover up some tanning lines.
- Well, um, I'm just a teenager with a hobby, remember?
It's not like I own a repair shop
and charge $50 a repair or anything.
- Wait a minute. A repair shop?
So, you did this on purpose?
- Now why would I do that?
- Because you found out I secretly had my own repair shop
and I was using you for child labor?
- BOTH: [gasps]
- Mr. Brown, you did that?
- Okay, Philip, I'm sorry, I did you dirty.
But I seen all that money I could make from that
and, and, and I just couldn't tell right from wrong
with all that money on the table.
And now my people going online, giving people a bad report.
Talking about how big my head is.
Talking about they gonna sue me.
Lord, if you get me out of this,
I'm not gonna do no more okie doke, I'm not.
- Well, why don't you just give them a refund?
- Well, I spent all the money to buy
a state of the art DVD/VCR combo.
Yeah, I'm gonna turn all my tapes into DVDs
so I can watch my old church.
Truth be told.
I, I want to look at so I can see where my hair was long.
I had woo, my curls was down to here.
- Or you can borrow the money and give them all a refund.
- If Jeremy will remember all the blessings that I done
done for his family, giving him all the money
to open up this place, maybe he'll open up his wallet
and help me pay it off in full?
- Not gonna happen.
- Well, it don't matter.
Because they're all threatening to sue me
because they say I didn't give them proper service,
I, I repaired it, but somebody didn't repair it right,
So, they gonna sue me.
- Well look, I'll make a deal.
Okay, I'll repair everything correctly.
Two conditions. - What?
- Okay, one, $20 per repair.
- 20 dollars?
Okay.
- And two you make my dad do
the Hammer Time Repair Shop dance with you.
- Please, no way. - Yes way.
- Well, Dad, admit it.
You didn't have faith in me.
So you owe me this one.
- Mhm.
Alright, I'll admit, Son, you handled things
a lot different than I would have.
100 times better and I'm proud of you, Son.
You're a great businessman.
Hit it, Brown. - Come on.
Fix it, fix it, fix it, fix it.
Oh whoa, fix it, fix it, fix it.
You gotta break it down like this.
- Break it down. - Break it down.
- Miss Anastasia.
- Excuse me, do I know you miss?
- Very funny.
- I have the results from your cognitive assessment.
- Oh, please don't keep me in suspense.
- There is no sign of cognitive impairment.
You scored perfectly normal for a woman your age.
I just recommend that you continue
with Cora's exercise program and diet program
and your crossword puzzles.
- But why was I being so forgetful?
That doesn't seem normal.
- Hey, Mom. Hey, Miss Anastasia.
- Hey. - [clears throat]
Aren't you forgetting something?
- Oh sorry, it's trash day.
- Mmm.
You were saying?
- Ugh, did he really forget?
Or did he just not want to take out the garbage.
- Ah, I forgot my snack.
- Philip, dear, you may want to get a head start
on working on your brain.
- What is this? - You need it.
Bottoms up.
- Mm mm mm mm.
Ugh, that's horrible.
- [laughs]
- Why did you do my baby like that?
- [laughing]
