[Noah] My name is Noah, and this is my arc.
I moved to LA to become a screenwriter
Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX
and met my three best friends in the whole world.
Alex is the crazy momma bear of our crew.
Warm, fierce, funny...
You let him get your buginas?
[Noah] He and his husband, Trey, are crazy.
Damn, baby!
I told you I'm a lethal weapon!
[Noah] About each other.
-Let's have a baby. -[shrieks]
[Noah] Ricky is the, shall we say,
free-spirited one of the group.
Men are not programmed for monogamy.
[Noah] But one very hot doctor helped him believe in love.
Ricky, I love you.
[Ricky] I love you too, Junito.
[Noah] Chance was always the grounded, rational one,
until Eddie took him by storm.
We can't wait to celebrate your first night in your new home.
[Noah] And turned his life upside down
in all the best ways.
All right, I'll marry you.
[applause]
[Chance] I will never love anybody
as much as I love you.
I don't want a life with anyone but you.
[Noah] I, on the other hand,
had never even had a boyfriend.
But then I met--
Wade, what are you doing here?
Noah? What's up, boy?
Why didn't you tell us about him?
[Group] Oh!
He's straight!?
Definitely not straight guy behavior.
[Noah] Despite my best efforts, I fell for him.
What's the tea, girl?
What if Wade is really the one?
[overlapping voices]
And boys, they are nothing but trouble!
[Noah] And as it turns out...
[Wade] I've never kissed a guy before.
But do you want to?
He fell for me too.
[Noah] Of course, it wasn't all smooth sailing.
If you're embarrassed to be seen with the real me,
then that's on you. Take it or leave it.
[Noah] But we stuck it out.
-I love you, Wade. -I love you too, Noah.
[Noah] And eventually...
Wade and I are getting married this weekend.
To Noah!
Hi, OJ !
How's our little Zulu warrior?
What do you think about kids?
[Noah] I will be your port in the storm
and your shield in the battle.
[Wade] I will take all that trembles inside of you
and place it safely in the palm of my hand forever.
[Noah] Now all of us are about to start a new chapter.
The answer is yes. I would like to have children.
[siren blaring]
[grunts]
[zombies snarling]
[loud bang]
[recording beep]
The reactor has gone critical.
This is most likely my last post.
[blast]
Hopefully the blast will buy us enough time
to figure out a solution.
Even still, I believe in us, I do,
because we are resilient.
And we?
We are adaptable!
And we will endure this.
[sobs]
And cut!
That's a series wrap, everybody!
Yeah!

And I'm so proud of you, Marley.
Thank you.
Cheers!
Oh, shit, Marley, I gotta run.

That's okay. Go, go, go!

Well, you should set a better example

And of course, LaChance Devereaux!

Uh-uh, hold up!
Noah and Wade?
How dare you!
Not only are you two bitches late for my show,
you're also late for your own baby shower!
[cheers and applause]
[whistling]
A few words for the expectant fathers.
Ah, Esther? Set it off, girl.
Okay, okay.
When my boy Noah said that he was lookin' for someone
to carry his baby,
I thought to myself, what desperate spinster
would be willing to put herself through
all that mornin' sickness, swollen feet,
and a busted vajayjay for this boy?
Then I realized that fool was me.
So thank you.
And on your behalf, I thank myself even more.
So to me!
[Group] To Esther!
Esther!
Ricky, you go next, and keep it clean.
[sighs] Personally?
I think you're all insane.
I have absolutely no interest in being a godparent,
even if you begged and pleaded.
Okay, fine, I'll consider it.
But don't ask me to change any crappy diapers.
[laughter]
Real talk? Trey and I didn't know
what joy truly was 'til we had our baby, Olivia.
And now that she's a teenager?
We've never known such pain.
So drink up, 'cause you're gonna need it.
[laughter]
If we can be half the parents that you and Trey have been?
Or offer our kids half the support
that you guys have given us?
As Anne Lamott once said--
-Oh my god! -Okay, here she go!
"There are places in the heart you don't even know exist
until you love a child."
Aww...
Here's to both of you discovering
those magical places.
To Noah and to Wade!
[Group] To Noah and to Wade!
Woo-hoo!
Open the gifts already!
Mine first! I gotta go.
Thank you.
What is it? What is it?
"Money pit"?
"Career killer"?
Ricky...
Thank you.
I love you, bye.
Oh!
[Olivia] All the children's books banned
by the right wing fascists.
Olivia, this is great!
You can read them to the twins when you babysit.
I knew you were my favorite goddaughter for a reason.
I'm your only goddaughter.
And that's the reason.

'Scuse me, can I get another drink, please?
You can get anything you want.
[Eddie] So the hot waiter at the club tried to get it,
and you said no?
Huh!
Like you ever be cool with me saying yes.
Maybe you don't know me as well as you think.
[Chance] Oh, okay.
Say we did bring in a, a third.
What kind of guy?
A top.
Oh.
So you wanna bottom?
I want to watch.
[sexy music]
Oh!
Aww!
Can you believe we're actually doin' this?
I know.
One of the things that scared me the most about being gay
was the idea of missin' out on being a dad.
Well?
You'll always be my daddy.
[laughs] Very...funny...
-Oh yeah? -Mm-hmm.
-That's how you feel? -Mm-hmm!

Two years of having your wicked way with me
and you're just gonna walk away?
Well, you could just hop in my suitcase.
And relocate all the way to Toronto?
No thanks.
[tense music]
Well, I guess that's it, then.
Is there something else you wanted to say?
Have a safe flight.
[laid-back music]
[music turns mischievous]
Olivia, where do you think you're goin' dressed like that?
Uh, where do you think?
Girl, back to your room to untie that shirt,
roll down that skirt,
and wipe that makeup off, Miss Spears.
Who?
Honey, hurry up. We don't wanna be late.
You just want me to look ugly.
I want you to look like a young lady.
This is what young ladies look like under the age of 60.
In your room or the phone gets it.
That's not fair! Gimme back my phone!
I have rights!
Not in my house, you don't!
This is a dictatorship!
Olivia Jade Kirby Iverson,
if you break that, so help me--
Oh, so you tryin' me?
I'm too old to be chasing you around this block like this!
Thank god you're here!
He's being completely unreasonable!
He won't give me back my phone
all because I don't wanna be told how to dress
by a frumpy old drag queen!
[Trey] Olivia, calm down!
Go wait in the truck. I'll be there in a minute.
You always take his side.
Go wait in the truck!
Mm-hmm.
And you better make sure them clothes are straight
before you get to school!
When did our sweet little girl
become such a screaming demon?
She's just at that age.
The age to get choked out? That age?
Trey, if you give her back this phone,
you are undercutting my authority.
She's gotta have a phone, Alex!
What are we gonna do if she goes missing?

[Wade] Watch your step.
Keep 'em close, keep 'em close, keep 'em close.
Wade, what is this?
What did you do?
Just a little somethin' to commemorate your new role
as a stay-at-home mom.
Oh...wow...
[laughing] Yeah.
We need something safe and reliable for the twins.
And all reports said this is one of the safest.
[Noah] Thanks.
I love you, baby.
I love you too.
Ah! Almost forgot.

[Olivia] I used the emergency key.
[Noah] Okay.
My dads are emotionally abusive assholes
who do not respect my boundaries.
Can I stay with you and Uncle Wade?
[Alex] Noah, I wanna know what the hell is goin' on!
Alex, Trey, Olivia doesn't want to be
in an emotionally unsafe space
at this point in her developmental journey.
Oh, I'll show her emotionally unsafe!
Olivia, I know you're behind and you're listenin' to me!
Why don't you give her a few days to cool off?
You know how kids are.
Yeah, we do!
Unlike you, Miss Johnny Come Lately to parenthood!
Alex, Olivia also feels that...
[music]
...your drag queen lifestyle...
is detrimental to her psychological
and emotional progress as a young trans woman.
[angry, muffled speech]
'Cause you know what?
I will choke her 'til her ass go out of style!
[Trey] Olivia, uh, we'll pick this up later.
[hang-up beeping]
Maybe we're lookin' at this the wrong way.
You've been sayin' we need a break.
I said I wanna break Olivia's neck!
But hear me out.
Hear me out.
Olivia at Noah and Wade's means no rude-ass teenager
turnin' her nose up at your food.
You can be loud as you want.
As I recall, you're the loud one.
You are--when I hit that spot.
[slaps butt] [squeals]
[Wade] The boy's really talented.
But I don't think he can keep his head in the game long enough
to finish an album. He's been in jail twice.
He's on probation now for grand theft auto.
-[Noah] Ugh! -[Wade] And he's barely 19.
Of course, the head of the label
can't wait to market him to the white kids
as "authentically hood."
Uncle Noah, can I be excused?
You barely touched your plate.
I can't eat this chicken.
-It's free range. -But it's not organic.
We'll go to the farmer's market tomorrow after school
and I'll show you how to shop responsibly.
[jazz music]
She need her ass whooped.
[laughs]
I'm just sayin'.
Hope our kids aren't that weird when they hit that age.
Our goddaughter's not weird.
She's just...principled.
[doorbell rings]
[Noah] Wade...
another gift. You shouldn't have!
[Wade] I didn't.
[enchanted music]
[music]
This has got to be a hoax.
No, it's the real deal. I talked to my manager.
-Wow, bitch. -This is amazing!
She wants you to tell her uncle's story?
It's not an offer.
She wants me to develop a pitch.
Bitch, how do you know the queen?
More importantly, how does the queen know you?
She's a fan of the show.
She watches We Are the Dead ?
[Noah] Yes, she's one of our many fans.
Girl, you done made it! Everybody know the uncle story.
When she talked about him in that acceptance speech,
it wasn't a dry eye in the house.
[Chance] And in telling his story,
you get to highlight the generation of Black gay men
we lost to the AIDS epidemic.
But you're not gonna do it.
What?
I can't do it!
-Ugh. -I can't!
I have two babies on the way,
and I promised Wade.
Even just writing the pitch would be a ton of work!
Never mind the actual show.
I wish, I wish this was the right time, but it's not!
I have to tell her...no.
Say no to Queen Bey!

-Make you keep the babies? -[Esther] Oh hell, nah.
Don't even play with me like that.
You gonna do what every hardworkin' parent does

Parents must grasp the need to be tough.
And I hope you're not one of those timeout type of parents,

Wow.
Kids, they're born with everything they need, you know?

One question that I ask all my prospective clients.
Why do you want children at this particular at time?
I mean, is it ever a good time for anyone?
We are at a point where, you know,
it's all about new challenges!
Noah?
We got a lot to offer a kid.
-Kids. -Kids.
Kids.
[Wade] We're having twin boys.
Them being boys, does that matter to you?
No!
I mean, no.
No, no, but, but, but,
as Black men, we understand the perils
facing Black boys.
The challenges-- and joys, of course.
We'd have been every bit as happy with girls.
And you will both be working full time?
With some flexibility.
We want to be home as much as possible.
And what will you do when the babies
wake up at 2 o'clock in the morning?
Make my way to the top of the stairs
and scream for the governess?
[chuckles]
You know, uh, Blanche?
Golden Girls ?
Yes. [chuckles]
And your surrogate,
is she a friend of the family?
Yes, Esther.
But we purchased the eggs from an anonymous donor.
Our embryos, her womb.
Our cookies, her oven.
[chuckles] We're very, very lucky to have her.
Esther is amazing.
[shrieks] Where the hell were y'all?
Speak of the devil.
I can't believe y'all forgot about me again!
Esther, this is Nana LaDonya.
In Lamaze class, everybody looking at pitiful ol' me
'cause my two oh-so-handsome babyfathers
decided to not show up--again!
And I keep askin' myself, do y'all give a damn about me,
or am I just some unpaid incubator?
And I can't even enjoy a self-medicating glass of wine!?
[glass shatters]
[Esther] Oh.
Oh, shit...
I'm...
I'm sorry, I'm just tired and hot.
-I'll clean this up, y'all. -No, no, no!
Don't touch anything. I got it.
Well, I think I have everything I need.
Thank you, gentlemen, so much for your time.
Are you sure?
Nana, you must have other questions, right?
There's...gotta be more you wanted to, uh, uh, talk to us...
-about? -Bye!
Oops!

[whoosh]
So where you goin'?
Gonna hang with your friends?
Y'all gonna talk about me?

[second baby crying]
"Baby's head needs to be held up just like a real infant!
"The baby's computer keeps track of all the times

Does it say how to stop the crying?
"The baby cries when it needs attention,
and it has several different cries."
I don't care how many cries it has.
I just want to stop it.
Hey, Siri, how do I stop a baby crying?
[Siri] A baby can sometimes be calmed by rocking gently.
I've done that.
[Siri] By offering a pacifier or soother.
I've done that.
[Siri] By singing, talking softly,
or taking a walk with a stroller.
I've done all that.

[Eddie] Hey, baby, you should be in the air by now.
I'm already missing you terribly.
You realize we haven't been apart longer than a day
since we met?
I don't know how I'm gonna get through these two weeks,
but if you have to go away for work again,
I'm comin' with you.
I love you, Chance. [door cam app ringing]
[in unison] Somebody ordered a slumber party?
[cheering]
Open the door, bitch!
Every time those damn dolls cry,
I wanna throw them in the trunk
and roll the car into a ravine!
Trust me, that won't change.
We've had them six days!
And if they were alive, I would've killed them
seven times already!
Wade treats them like they're human.
Isn't that the whole point of the exercise?
He's even given them names!
LeBron and Kobe.
[laughter]
Give me an entire break!
Oh my goodness...
I'm sorry, Chance.
Here I am bitchin' and moanin' about my husband
and the pregnancy and my career, and you just...
What? You can say it.
You just laid the headstone on Eddie's grave.
It's fine.
Eddie's dead.
I'm not.
I like hearin' about your domestic drama.
It is very reassuring to be reminded
that nobody's life is perfect.
Even Beyoncé deal with negative shit.
I heard that!
Ricky, have you heard from Junito?
Nothin' worth talking about.
Is that why you're trolling on that hookup app?
Swank is an exclusive dating app.
Mm-hmm.
And I'm not trolling.
You are.
[laughter]
"Buff professor."
[laughter]
You downloaded this app on my phone?
With my real age!
That's my real age.
"Buff professor with a high IQ and an even higher--"
[Both] "--stallion booty!"
Stallion booty? That is not funny!
That's not funny! I don't have a stallion booty.
Oh, bitch, relax, it's a compliment.
Ugh! Over half the guys on this app
are in a relationship.
When did polygamy become the norm?
Polyamory.
-What did I say? -Polygamy.
Oh, girl, hakuna matata, chill.
To-may-to, to-mah-to.

Ooh!
This one is hot!
-Lil Nas Yeah! -Yes!
How old is that zygote?
Twenty-nine.
Oh, when did almost 30 start lookin' so young?
The millennials love a daddy!
So do I!
In that case...
Oh, damn!
Is that Bill Cosby?
[laughter]
Wait.
He's younger than me.
Oh, this is depressing!
Ricky, why did you put this mess on my phone?
It's been a year.
You can start dating now.
Oh! This I approve of.
Send him a message.
Do people still say hi
or just send dick pics and butthole shots?
Just ask him out.
-On an actual date? -Mm-hmm.
To where?
Bootnanny's.
So you can watch.
So we can rescue you if it's a dud!

so you can dance!

It's practically oozing out of your pores.
Olivia, let's go!
Have a good day at school!
Bye, Uncle Noah!
Chance is fine, by the way. Thanks for asking.

You don't know how bad I needed this break

And I really appreciate your help with the babies.
But I am way behind on my pitch,

Okay, I got you.
Noah?
Meet Two-Tone Celo.
Celo...
meet Noah, my husband.

This is a nonsmoking house?

Hey, thanks for letting me crash here.

[Two-Tone] Man, I got so many...
Wade, you can't save every kid.
I don't have a choice.
The label posted bond.
I'm responsible for makin' sure he stays out of trouble
and gets to his court date.
What was he arrested for?
Probation violation.
What kind of violation?
A weapons charge?
You want Bone Thugs and Disharmony
to stay in our house
with our impressionable goddaughter?
-When is she going home? -I don't know!
[Olivia giggling]
[Two-Tone] So I got this one to celebrate me
gettin' outta jail last year.
-So cool! -Olivia!
You can go get started on your homework.
-I don't have any-- -Get some!
-[baby crying] -Ugh!
Okay, while you are here,
you must obey the rules of the house.
Number one, stay away from my goddaughter.
Man, me and shawty was just talking!
Ain't no issue.
The issue is Olivia is a minor
and we don't trust your thuggish ass--
We just need this to work 'til the end of the week.
I don't wanna see you lose your freedom

How did you get so good with babies?
I got a son.
Four years old.
Wade and the label don't know.
Your grandmother raised you, right?
[Two-Tone] 'Till I was 11.
Then she turned me over to central juvie.
I ain't gonna lie-- I was bad as hell.
Eleven years old, stealin' cars and shit
and not comin' home.
She was like, "I don't know what to do with him.
I don't want him to die in the streets."
So...
How long were you in juvie?
In and out about 27 times?
Where were your parents?
My mom died when I was two.
I don't know my dad.
[Noah] How did she die, if you don't mind me asking?
She got killed.
[Noah] What do you know about her?
It's like folks always say the same stuff.

You did! At the baby shower!
Well, it was a stupid thing to say.
I might not even be around anyway.
What are you--
What are you talking about?
I have cancer.
[somber music]
[Ricky] So it's either remove a testicle
or go through radiotherapy.
Radiotherapy should shrink the tumor
and keep the cancer from spreading.
With luck, I shouldn't have to have surgery at all.
What did the doctor advise?
Surgery.
Then shouldn't you do that?
I'm quite fond of my balls. They've served me well.
I'd like to keep both of them.
But if the doctor's saying that surgery's your best option--
I don't want to have surgery, Noah,
so please don't do your usual thing
of trying to convince me to do what you think is best.
I just need you to support my decision,
-and if you can't do that-- -Okay, okay.
I got you.
Then don't tell the others.
But they're your family.
Alex will make it all about him and...
Chance is barely holding it together.

Got a call from the neighbor and...
You know, I ain't supposed to be over there.
Had to go see about him.
-Is he okay? -Yeah.
I called my auntie to come get him.
But I got jammed up.
Why?
Last time we got into it 'cause she left him alone for two days.
She claimed abuse and she got a restraining order.
My whole life, I ain't never had nobody.
I just want my son to know it's at least one person
that's always gonna be there.
[indistinct chatter]
Okay. Let's go.
Hey, what happened to your shirt?
Shut up!
[mischievous music]
I was a little skeptical at first.
I mean, the whole thing seemed silly.
But the more we got into it,
the more real that it felt.
Overall, I would say that it made us
much more prepared for the real thing.
What was the most surprising aspect?
That you really don't get a break.
I mean, babies aren't like pets.
They need attention all the time.
And I knew that, but I didn't know that.
You know?

Hi, I am so sorry I'm late!

Oh, watch the head, watch the head.
The agency will be in touch after evaluating the data
from the Reality Babies
and evaluating our exit interview.
I get it.
We're a mess.
But we are trying to be good at this.
We're not shopping for a super nanny

We're hoping for someone who will teach us
not to need her.
And we're willing to do whatever it takes to convince you.

I remember, growing up, there was no talk about nothin' gay.
They didn't even have the "T" in the LGBT back then.
But I remember them talkin' about this guy named Bootnanny.
He used to prance around in women's heels
and carry a purse and twirl a baton.
And he didn't give two hoots about what anyone thought.
Even if they called him all kind of punks and sissy
and everything but a child of God,
there was always a air of respect
when they spoke his name.
And if anybody came for Bootnanny,
oh baby, he would let them have it.
I never met him.
But just knowin' someone like him existed

inspired me to be myself

Is there something else?
Can you tell Alex?
Tell him...

like some kind of holy ghost-filled church lady.
I really can't take that.
Sure.
I'll tell Alex.

I need to go to the bathroom.
These babies tap-dancin' on my bladder.
