Bob Hearts Abishola

Previously on Bob Hearts Abishola...

Ooh, steamy, huh?

It is Africa, Bob.

So, what's the plan? Settle in, shower,

get Dele, take another shower?

We're going straight to Dele.

Just trying to do you a favor, but okay.

Where's my son? He's in his room.

Dele? DELE: You'll never take me alive!

Dele!

Mom?

Dele is thriving in Lagos.

Here he will attend

the best school

and be around people who share his culture.

But he won't have you.

I've always done what's best for him.

I cannot let this be the one time I do not.

Tunde! Hey! How long has it been!

Come in! Too long!

Come inside!

Eh-eh. "Eh-eh" what?

We have not had a formal introduction between you and my family.

Until then, you cannot step foot in this house.

Mmm. This is delicious.

What do they call it?

Guinness.

They have everything over here.

Domino's Pizza, KFC, cars.

What, did you think we ate bugs and rode buffaloes?

Hey, Black Pantherjust came out-- I'm still learning.

Look at Abishola's hot cousin.

You think he needs a green card?

He owns three pharmacies in Atlanta.

But does he need a green card?

Mom, you're drinking?

Lighten up, honey. It's a wedding.

This isn't the wedding.

Then what the hell am I doing here?

I told you, it's the introduction ceremony.

As the elder of our family,

it's your job to give a speech on my behalf.

Well, that's fine.

Beer makes me chatty.

If everyone could please take their seats?

Mr. Bob Wheeler,

what brings you before the members of my family today?

Uh, as is custom, I am here to have my family

meet yours. You have brought

an elder with you.

Please have them introduce you

and explain why our families should be joined together.

FYI, she's fresh off a stroke.

I'm just lowering the bar.

Help me.

E kasan,

Mr. and Mrs. Odegbami.

I am Dorothy Wheeler,

and I am proud to say that I'm Bob's mother.

He is a kind

and caring man,

and he has always taken care of his family.

And I know he'll move

heaven and earth to take care of your daughter.

Obafemi,

Ebunoluwa, we are honored

to be guests in your home.

Bow me!

Thanks, Ma.

And next,

we will hear from Mr. Bob Wheeler.

Good luck following that.

We have so many blessings to be thankful for.

My beautiful daughter.

She has made me so proud

by giving me a grandson

and also by becoming a world-class heart surgeon.

She doesn't know you're a nurse?

Oh, she knows.

And now she is marrying Bob,

millionaire businessman,

with a sock company bigger than Nike and Adidas combined.

Isn't that right, Bob?

It feels like just yesterday

when I introduced Bob to Abishola.

Which was

after I looked into his prospects

and investigated his business dealings.

It is amazing you did all that from here

while I was the one in America.

Yes, it is amazing.

Iam amazing.

E kaasan, Uncle.

E kaasan, Uncle.

Oh.

Speak.

Mr. Odegbami, it's an honor to meet you.

I promise to provide your daughter with a wonderful life.

One where each moment

is filled with joy, love and fun.

But not too much fun.

I mean, we'll work a lot.

We'll barely see each other, really.

One bag of salt, one bottle of pure honey,

41 kilos of yam, one kilogram kola nuts...

Is this a grocery list?

Bride price.

Cheaper than my first wife.

Bow and go!

Bowango.

Bow and go.

Oh.

Granny and Auntie are arguing

about which one of them named me.

I named you.

That's what I said, but they said I wasn't born yet,

what do I know?

Nigeria will be good for you.

I do feel different here. I don't know what it is.

You are happy.

I will miss you.

You have the best of both worlds.

Six months with your father and six months with me.

And you can always come home.

Always.

Unless you take drugs.

Or fail a test.

Look who just wowed an older gentleman

and got the bride price list.Ah.

Such an antiquated and sexist tradition.

So I shouldn't do it?

Of course you should.

It's tradition.

It will be an honor.

I'm just worried

I won't have time to write my vows.

Nigerian weddings do not have vows.

Well, that makes sense. I mean, why bother telling

the whole world how much I love you

when the yams and nuts speak for themselves?

Yeah, one kilogram of your best kola nuts, please.

Of course, sir.Ah.

I got this.

You don't have to do that. You're my big brother,

my best friend-- the least I could do

is help you purchase your wife from her father.

Thanks, pal.

These taste like ass.

Well, keep chewing. Maybe it gets better.

No, still ass.

Hello, Mr. Wheeler.

E kasanfrom Lagos.

E kasan. How is everything going?

It's going great. We wish you were here.

We wish we were invited.

It feels so strange that you are there and we are here

running your sock business.

You once said you could not get married without us,

and yet you are.

As if socks are more important than friendship.

Totally!

Hey, listen, have you guys ever heard of eja osan?

Oh, it is a very delicious and expensive fish.

We're in Balogun Market. Do they have it here?

You are in Balogun?

I used to go there with my grandmother.

Oh, she's sick now.

It would have been nice to see her one last time.

We're by the suitcases.

Is it by the suitcases?

You look beautiful, Mummy.

It's great, Auntie Ebunoluwa.

Thank you. I told Bimpe

I wanted enough crystals to blind my enemies.

I will bring

the rest of the dresses.

I'll be able to cha-cha down the aisle

by the time she gets back.

For each of you, I had Bimpe make an iroand buba,

a wrap skirt with a matching blouse

adorned with jewels, just like mine.

Mm-hmm. It's the traditional Yoruba attire that we wear

for weddings and funerals.

And if done right, you will look so good,

even the dead person will be jealous.

How does it look?

Ah. Absolutely stunning, Auntie Olu.

Gorgeous.

It's just like Auntie Ebun's.

But better.

Yes, you do look beautiful in that dress.

Thank you, sister.

I will wear it.

What?

I am the mother of the bride.

It is only right that I have the best dress.

Other than the bride,

of course.

No!

Take off your dress and give it to me.
