Previously on Bob Hearts Abishola...
So-so you're divorced?
- No. - But you're not together anymore?
No, we are not.
Well, what if you meet someone?
Isn't that a problem?
It is not a problem yet.
I wasn't completely honest with you yesterday.
Really?
Yes.
When we first met at the hospital,
I did like you a little bit.
I knew it.
I know you and I don't make any sense.
We're like ice cream for breakfast.
Doesn't seem like a good idea.
But if it makes you happy, why not?
Here, I brought your breakfast.
Ice cream.
Enjoy. I'm going to check on your mother.
Were you followed?
Don't be ridiculous. Of course not.
Well, what did you tell Abishola?
That I was meeting an old friend from college.
If she asks, his name is Barry Lewis
and he lives in Toledo with his wife and two kids.
Billy's eight and Sarah's five and, boy, are they a handful.
Why do you tell such elaborate lies?
- Well, what did you tell Olu? - Nothing.
I went into the bathroom with a newspaper,
then climbed down the fire escape.
We have 45 minutes before she gets suspicious.
It's weird, I've done this before but I'm still nervous.
Don't be. You have a secret weapon.
What's that?
Me, Tunde.
Don't worry, I will get you the best engagement ring
at a price that will make the jeweler weep.
I'm not really too worried about price.
If you're going to say stupid things,
go wait in the van.
Good afternoon.
I'm David. How can I help you?
I see your store is empty of customers.
So perhaps we'll be helping you, David.
Okay.
I'm looking for an engagement ring
and it doesn't have to be too ornate, you know?
Simple, classy, beautiful-- just like the woman I hope to marry.
Well, congratulations, sir.
Well, thanks, but let's wait until she says yes.
Are we done with the chitchat?
I have to walk out of the bathroom in 22 minutes.
How about that one right there?
Good choice.
This one is a beauty.
1.5 carat, princess cut,
VVS1 clarity diamond
on an 18-carat band.
It's really nice.
I mean, it's okay.
And let those be the last words you speak.
How much?
$11,995.
Did you hear that?
Store with no customers?
We'll give you eight.
I-I couldn't possibly do that.
I mean, I wish I could but...
Then what is your best number?
I guess...
I could knock it down to 11-five.
Nice meeting you, David.
- Let's go, Bob. - ?Thanks.
Hang on.
Yes?
How much were you looking to spend?
$8,000 for the ring you are holding.
Give me a minute.
I'll have to call the owner.
He's not calling anyone.
This is just a part of the game.
This isn't my first rodeo, Tunde.
Then act like it, cowboy.
'Cause you are about to get thrown from the bull.
Okay, I can get you down to nine-five.
Ah, David, I really wanted you to make this sale
so you could afford to move from your parents' home.
How did you know that?
Because I have eyes, David.
I have eyes.
- Come on. - W-Wait.
Yes?
What you got there, Bobby Socks?
Nothing.
Come on.
What did you put in your pocket?
Was that a cookie?
No, it's not a cookie.
Remember when you were a kid
and I used to find cookie crumbs in your pocket?
I don't do that anymore.
All right then. If it's a flask,
give Mama a hit.
It's the middle of the day.
That's why you use a flask.
You want to see?
Fine. Here.
Oh, my-- Oh.
That's beautiful.
I did good?
You did really good.
Figure I better make it official before she wises up.
Good thinking.
- I was joking. - What do you want me to say, sweetie?
She's out of your league, you know this.
I do.
Still, I'm so happy for you.
Thanks.
It'll be fun-- all of us under one roof.
"Us"?
Well, you know how the Nigerians are with family.
We'll have Olu, Tunde,
Dele... probably a couple of cousins
they stashed away somewhere.
You just got to make it clear to them I'm keeping the downstairs bedroom.
Y-You're not going back to your house?
