Dinner. With a random man and the prime suspect.
Demetrius: Wait, dinner? Wait, who are you?
Michael: I'm Diamond's father, Michael. Michael Richards, but you can call me Mike. And you two are?
Demetrius: I'm Demetrius, Demetrius Anderson.
He reluctantly shook the man's hand.
Andy: Andy. Andy Stevenson!
He gave Michael a bit more of a powerful handshake.
Michael: So, Demetrius, my daughter has been thinking of you a lot.
Demetrius: What?
Diamond: Dad!
Andy: That's funny, because my man Demetrius here has also been thinking of your daughter a lot too! Like, all the time.
Diamond: Oh...!
Demetrius: Andy!
Andy: So, dinner you say?
Michael: Yeah. Me and my wife were thinking of having a family dinner, and my daughter was, you know, interested in having you for company. Well, Demetrius, but hey Andy, you can come too.
Demetrius: Oh, why thank you...Diamond.
Diamond: Oh, don't mention it. It was either you or Bryant, but Bryant seems a little too desperate for me.
Demetrius: Right...
Andy: Well, do we go right now?
Michael: Of course!
And with that, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up with a woman inside who could only be Diamond's mother.
Michael: Get on in, kids!
Michael got in the passenger seat, and Andy took the right side, leaving Diamond to get in the middle and Demetrius to take the left side.
Demetrius: (Thinking) Bad idea. Very bad idea, yet again.
Those vigilante skills would come in handy if this went left.
Lakisha: Hi! Nice to meet you two! My name is Lakisha, I'm Diamond's mother.
Andy: Hey, I'm Andy!
Lakisha: Aww, look at you! Like a little nerd!
Andy: Wait, what...
Demetrius: Well, I'm Demetrius.
Lakisha: Aww, you're the one my daughter was swooning over!
Demetrius: Oh...my....
Diamond: Mother, I. Wasn't. Swooning. It was either him or that football captain. Ugh, that simp has gotten old.
Lakisha: Yeah, sure honey.
Andy: So, where are we going?
Michael: A place Diamond loves to go!
Demetrius: Yay....
Andy: Sounds fun to me!
They pulled up to a shop called Kochi.
Demetrius: (To himself) I don't even eat this food....
Michael and Lakisha both got out the car, and Andy did as well.
Diamond: Well...seems we should...you know...go....
Demetrius: Yeah...
After they got out, when Diamond and her parents walked inside, Demetrius pulled Andy aside.
