you hope they don't
pick duds.
3

And when junior
picked olivia,
4

he picked a winner.
5

Okay, so,
this application

is an opportunity for you
to show them who you are.
15
00:00:29,263 --> 00:00:31,063
Right.
So, you want to be
a little more personal --

passionate.

bit of white guilt.
19
00:00:39,273 --> 00:00:40,239

So, why are you only applying
to three schools?
33
00:01:05,433 --> 00:01:07,833
It's a common application.
Why are you limiting yourself?
34
00:01:07,935 --> 00:01:10,719
It's kind of expensive to apply
to all of these schools.
35
00:01:10,838 --> 00:01:12,755
Well, I would like
to pay for it.
36

Really?
Yes, I would.
37
00:01:14,225 --> 00:01:17,676
And so, I think you should apply
to the entire east coast,
38
00:01:17,778 --> 00:01:20,612
and include mcgill
because those are
canadian dollars,
39

for you --
351
00:12:06,793 --> 00:12:08,259
jack don't crack.
352
00:12:08,378 --> 00:12:10,495
Now go put that
in your little ads.
353
00:12:10,597 --> 00:12:13,348
Turned out, my kids were
serious about locking me out.
354
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:15,200
Meanwhile,
bow was having better luck
355
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:16,751
getting olivia to let her in.
356
00:12:16,837 --> 00:12:18,103
[ both laugh ]
357
00:12:18,221 --> 00:12:21,005
well, I really appreciate you
for having me over.
358
00:12:21,124 --> 00:12:23,241
This has been a really
stressful time for me.
359
00:12:23,343 --> 00:12:25,677
Oh, you mean the whole
grad school decision?
360
00:12:25,796 --> 00:12:26,678
Yeah.
361
00:12:26,797 --> 00:12:28,646
Well, listen,
the good news is,
362
00:12:28,765 --> 00:12:30,165
you can't make
a bad choice.
363
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:31,466
Right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
364
00:12:31,551 --> 00:12:33,234
I mean,
usc is a great school,
365
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,320
and I got an incredible
education there.
366
00:12:35,422 --> 00:12:36,638
Right. Right.
367
00:12:36,723 --> 00:12:39,407
I met some of my best friends
and the best part was,
368
00:12:39,493 --> 00:12:41,793
I didn't have to be far away
from the people I loved.
369
00:12:41,895 --> 00:12:43,962
Right, right. And that's why
it was my first choice.
370
00:12:44,064 --> 00:12:44,996
Yeah.
371
00:12:45,114 --> 00:12:47,232
Usc was always
my dream school,
372
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:49,334
but then yale was the school
373
00:12:49,453 --> 00:12:51,302
I wouldn't even let myself
dream about.
374
00:12:51,404 --> 00:12:52,403
I totally get it.
375
00:12:52,522 --> 00:12:54,122
Yeah.
But it's so far away.
376
00:12:54,207 --> 00:12:55,089
Right.
You know what I mean?
377
00:12:55,175 --> 00:12:56,207
It's, like, in connecticut.
So far.
378
00:12:56,309 --> 00:12:57,725
And it's cold there.
Right.
379
00:12:57,828 --> 00:12:59,427
I mean, you can't wear
an open-toe shoe,
380
00:12:59,513 --> 00:13:00,661
I'll tell you that.
381
00:13:00,764 --> 00:13:02,947
And if you get a pedicure,
nobody's gonna see it
382
00:13:03,066 --> 00:13:04,916
for eight months out of the
year, you know what I'm saying?
383
00:13:05,018 --> 00:13:06,351
[ both laugh ]
384
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:10,522
but usc -- I just feel like usc
is such a good fit for you.
385
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,491
And selfishly,
it's so nice for me
386
00:13:13,610 --> 00:13:16,344
to have, like,
a young, black, smart woman
387
00:13:16,429 --> 00:13:18,679
just following
in my footsteps!
388
00:13:18,782 --> 00:13:20,147
What?! Okay?
389
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:22,000
Okay, well, thanks for
supporting me, dr. Johnson.
390
00:13:22,118 --> 00:13:23,551
Oh, my god.
It's my pleasure.
391
00:13:23,637 --> 00:13:25,703
What you say to me,
it really means a lot.
392
00:13:25,806 --> 00:13:26,671
Oh, ba--
393
00:13:26,773 --> 00:13:28,556
no, even more
than my parents.
394
00:13:28,658 --> 00:13:29,824
Oh.
395
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:30,925
It's nothing.
396
00:13:31,011 --> 00:13:32,277
No, it's -- it's huge.
397
00:13:32,379 --> 00:13:33,261
Oh.
398
00:13:33,363 --> 00:13:34,779
The fact that someone
that I trust
399
00:13:34,881 --> 00:13:36,881
has been through
all of this before...
400
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:39,050
Yeah.
...Makes all
of the difference.
401
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:42,237
I don't know if you realize
how important your advice
402
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:44,322
and mentorship
have been to me.
403
00:13:44,424 --> 00:13:49,093
So, if you think that usc
is the right choice...
404
00:13:49,212 --> 00:13:51,062
Then that's the choice
I'm gonna make.
405
00:13:51,181 --> 00:13:52,547
Ahhh.
406
00:13:52,649 --> 00:13:53,898
Go to yale.
407
00:13:54,017 --> 00:13:55,016
Excuse me?
408
00:13:55,101 --> 00:13:57,268
Go to yale,
and don't look back, okay?
409
00:13:57,387 --> 00:14:00,188
I will use my miles
to pay for your ticket.
410
00:14:00,273 --> 00:14:02,657
You need to
get...To...Yale.
411
00:14:02,742 --> 00:14:04,526
Go to yale!
But...
412
00:14:06,196 --> 00:14:07,078
Oh!
413
00:14:07,197 --> 00:14:09,163
Jah--unior!
414
00:14:10,367 --> 00:14:12,333
Why would you do this
to your little man?
415
00:14:17,172 --> 00:14:18,590
I-I just don't understand.
416
00:14:18,692 --> 00:14:19,840
You were supposed to
convince her to stay!
417
00:14:19,943 --> 00:14:21,526
But instead, you told her
to leave me?
418
00:14:21,645 --> 00:14:23,628
No, I-I did not tell her
to leave.
419
00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:26,614
She said that you said to go
to yale and don't look back.
420
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:27,649
Wh...
421
00:14:27,734 --> 00:14:29,617
I was really excited
for her.
422
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:31,652
It's a really great school,
junior.
423
00:14:31,755 --> 00:14:34,339
Look, I know you're upset,
but I had to tell her the truth.
424
00:14:34,441 --> 00:14:36,624
And I can't hold her back,
and I know that, deep down,
425
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:38,042
you don't want to
hold her back, either.
426
00:14:38,144 --> 00:14:40,211
Oh, no.
I-I absolutely do.
427
00:14:40,330 --> 00:14:41,179
Junior!
428
00:14:41,281 --> 00:14:42,363
What?
You know what?
429
00:14:42,465 --> 00:14:44,148
I will compensate by boosting
three other women.
430
00:14:44,267 --> 00:14:46,167
I just --
I cannot lose olivia!
431
00:14:46,253 --> 00:14:47,802
It'll ruin me!
432
00:14:47,888 --> 00:14:49,487
I'll probably
take up smoking.
433
00:14:49,589 --> 00:14:51,155
Do you hear yourself?
434
00:14:51,258 --> 00:14:53,441
Please tell me that you
did not react this way
435
00:14:53,526 --> 00:14:54,726
when she told you.
436
00:14:54,828 --> 00:14:58,930
And that's why I think
I want to go to yale.
437
00:15:00,901 --> 00:15:01,900
Oh.
438
00:15:03,203 --> 00:15:04,235
I see.
439
00:15:15,815 --> 00:15:17,665
I, um...
440
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:21,052
I reacted in a way that
I think I can be proud of.
441
00:15:21,154 --> 00:15:22,287
Okay.
442
00:15:25,675 --> 00:15:28,626
Alright, sweetheart,
I know that you love her,
443
00:15:28,745 --> 00:15:30,978
but if you're gonna be
in a relationship
444
00:15:31,081 --> 00:15:32,931
that is gonna last
the long haul,
445
00:15:33,049 --> 00:15:35,116
or if you're gonna be
the kind of couple
446
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:38,369
that can survive
all of the things
447
00:15:38,471 --> 00:15:40,955
that life is gonna
throw at you, then...
448
00:15:41,041 --> 00:15:44,042
You got to lift her up...
449
00:15:44,144 --> 00:15:45,843
Not hold her back.
450
00:15:47,964 --> 00:15:49,614
I guess I'm so scared
to lose olivia
451
00:15:49,733 --> 00:15:52,383
I didn't really think about
what she'd be losing
452
00:15:52,502 --> 00:15:53,785
by not going to yale.
453
00:15:59,942 --> 00:16:01,392
I'm being selfish,
aren't I?
454
00:16:03,697 --> 00:16:05,229
Oh, my angel.
455
00:16:06,766 --> 00:16:08,866
Love can turn us
into monsters.
456
00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:13,905
One time,
I threw a bag of nair
457
00:16:14,007 --> 00:16:15,606
at one of dre's
ex-girlfriends.
458
00:16:15,709 --> 00:16:17,075
[ chuckles ]
what?
459
00:16:17,177 --> 00:16:19,277
But, um, what I'm saying
is that...
460
00:16:22,031 --> 00:16:24,615
...Sometimes, you just got to
make really hard choices
461
00:16:24,718 --> 00:16:26,968
when you're in love,
okay?
462
00:16:27,887 --> 00:16:29,420
I believe in you.
463
00:16:30,991 --> 00:16:32,490
Thanks, mom.
464
00:16:32,592 --> 00:16:34,275
Okay.
465
00:16:34,361 --> 00:16:38,262
While junior had
some serious thinking to do,
466
00:16:38,365 --> 00:16:40,915
I realized the well
had run dry.
467
00:16:41,001 --> 00:16:41,933
I was getting desperate.
468
00:16:42,035 --> 00:16:43,250
You got to tell me
something.
469
00:16:43,353 --> 00:16:44,902
Anything!
470
00:16:45,021 --> 00:16:45,970
Who pinched who?
471
00:16:46,072 --> 00:16:48,272
Hmm?
Who pooped their pants?
472
00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:49,691
I don't know.
473
00:16:49,776 --> 00:16:50,858
[ sighs ]
474
00:16:50,944 --> 00:16:53,160
what kind of kindergarten
am I paying for?
475
00:16:53,263 --> 00:16:55,947
I need something relatable
to sell cars.
476
00:16:56,065 --> 00:16:58,216
Had to take another hit
off that pipe, huh?
477
00:16:58,334 --> 00:17:00,485
Couldn't get enough
of our sweet, sweet brain ideas,
478
00:17:00,587 --> 00:17:01,502
could you, pookie?
479
00:17:01,588 --> 00:17:02,754
Pathetic.
480
00:17:03,556 --> 00:17:05,023
Okay.
481
00:17:05,125 --> 00:17:06,257
Look, you guys were right.
482
00:17:06,376 --> 00:17:07,625
I got nothing.
483
00:17:07,727 --> 00:17:11,145
Maybe I am relying on you
too much.
484
00:17:11,247 --> 00:17:15,233
But you guys are where I get
my inspiration from.
485
00:17:15,351 --> 00:17:17,035
You know, when it's time
for me to tell stories
486
00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:18,369
and get people
to feel something,
487
00:17:18,471 --> 00:17:22,557
I go to the place
where I feel something -- home.
488
00:17:24,194 --> 00:17:25,710
Well...
489
00:17:25,812 --> 00:17:28,346
I guess I could explain why
I smell like street tacos.
490
00:17:28,448 --> 00:17:29,447
Wait.
491
00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:32,316
Before we tell
our stories,
492
00:17:32,435 --> 00:17:34,218
from now on, we need to be
fairly compensated.
493
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,269
Mm.
494
00:17:35,355 --> 00:17:36,938
A hundred a pitch...
495
00:17:37,023 --> 00:17:38,423
A thousand if the ad
gets made.
496
00:17:40,827 --> 00:17:41,626
Deal.
497
00:17:41,728 --> 00:17:43,561
Okay, so,
it was around 11:15
498
00:17:43,663 --> 00:17:45,530
when we drove past
this taco truck
499
00:17:45,632 --> 00:17:47,414
with a giant chicken
on top.
500
00:17:47,517 --> 00:17:48,883
Now, it wasn't
a normal chicken.
501
00:17:48,968 --> 00:17:50,485
He was wearing
overalls.
502
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:52,303
Uh, what color overalls?
503
00:17:52,422 --> 00:17:56,074
Turns out, my kids have always
held me up.
504
00:17:56,192 --> 00:17:59,010
I was proud of
who they'd become.
505
00:18:00,263 --> 00:18:01,446
Hey.
506
00:18:01,564 --> 00:18:02,880
Hey.
507
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:04,232
Got you something.
508
00:18:04,317 --> 00:18:05,283
Aww.
509
00:18:11,057 --> 00:18:12,290
Aww.
510
00:18:12,408 --> 00:18:13,908
It's an extra large
511
00:18:13,993 --> 00:18:15,810
so you can still wear
a bunch of sweaters underneath.
512
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:16,811
Mm.
513
00:18:16,896 --> 00:18:18,279
You're gonna
want to layer.
514
00:18:22,886 --> 00:18:25,203
Look, when you
got into yale,
515
00:18:25,321 --> 00:18:26,921
all I could think about
was what it meant to me,
516
00:18:27,006 --> 00:18:28,473
because I'm scared
to lose you.
517
00:18:28,575 --> 00:18:30,908
Well, you're not
gonna lose me.
518
00:18:31,027 --> 00:18:32,510
Look, I know
it'll be hard,
519
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:35,429
but we can make this work
long-distance.
520
00:18:35,532 --> 00:18:37,782
I'll facetime you
three times a day.
521
00:18:37,884 --> 00:18:39,984
We'll use our air miles
to visit each other.
522
00:18:40,103 --> 00:18:42,603
I'll even schedule my classes
so that we can watch
523
00:18:42,705 --> 00:18:44,172
"90 day fiancé"
together.
524
00:18:44,257 --> 00:18:46,641
But it'll be on
at like 11:00 your time.
525
00:18:46,726 --> 00:18:49,127
I'll drink coffee.
I don't care.
526
00:18:49,245 --> 00:18:52,363
We're gonna make
this work, okay?
527
00:18:52,465 --> 00:18:53,948
We have to.
528
00:18:55,068 --> 00:18:56,534
Hell, I'm best friends
with your mama.
529
00:18:56,653 --> 00:18:57,935
I don't know
if we have a choice.
530
00:18:58,037 --> 00:18:59,370
[ both laugh ]
531
00:18:59,489 --> 00:19:02,356
it's not always easy
to do the right thing --
532
00:19:02,458 --> 00:19:06,160
especially when the right thing
costs you the most.
533
00:19:06,246 --> 00:19:09,463
Here's a toast to future
yale grad olivia lockhart.
534
00:19:09,549 --> 00:19:10,665
Whoo!
535
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:13,134
Oh, olivia, you're gonna love it
at white howard.
536
00:19:13,219 --> 00:19:14,802
You know, we actually
worked out the math,
537
00:19:14,888 --> 00:19:17,839
and we'll be able to see each
other at least once a month.
538
00:19:17,924 --> 00:19:20,708
All I have to do is hop on
a direct flight to hartford.
539
00:19:20,810 --> 00:19:22,727
Then, it is a one-hour
train ride --
540
00:19:22,846 --> 00:19:25,513
plus a short cab ride --
to see my lady.
541
00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:28,382
Wait till she tries to find
good barbecue in new haven.
542
00:19:28,484 --> 00:19:30,067
Well...
Hey, mazel tov!
543
00:19:30,186 --> 00:19:31,769
Mazel tov!
Mazel.
544
00:19:31,888 --> 00:19:33,738
Olivia: You know, I just really
want to thank you all.
545
00:19:33,857 --> 00:19:35,356
You've become, like,
my second family.
546
00:19:35,441 --> 00:19:36,440
Aww.
547
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:38,109
Olivia, we will always
have your back.
548
00:19:38,227 --> 00:19:40,444
[ chuckles ]
and mine.
549
00:19:40,563 --> 00:19:42,864
I hope this is the right time
to bring this up,
550
00:19:42,949 --> 00:19:46,167
but with rent being
the way that it is,
551
00:19:46,252 --> 00:19:48,202
I will, um...
552
00:19:48,288 --> 00:19:50,688
Probably have to
move back in.
553
00:19:50,790 --> 00:19:51,956
Party's over!
554
00:19:52,074 --> 00:19:54,208
Party is over. Come on.
Give it up. Give it up.
555
00:19:54,294 --> 00:19:56,210
Olivia, you getting into yale
is the worst thing
556
00:19:56,296 --> 00:19:57,461
that's ever happened
to this family.
557
00:19:57,580 --> 00:19:58,429
Thank you.
558
00:19:58,548 --> 00:19:59,630
Thank you, son.
Goodbye.
559
00:20:03,569 --> 00:20:05,603
Alright, I'm headed
to the grocery store,
560
00:20:05,688 --> 00:20:06,988
so let me know if you guys
need anything special.
561
00:20:07,106 --> 00:20:08,940
You know,
we've been thinking about
562
00:20:09,025 --> 00:20:11,359
your long-distance
situation,
563
00:20:11,477 --> 00:20:14,195
and we've got some experience
in that area.
564
00:20:14,313 --> 00:20:17,147
Back in the '70s, I used to work
on this offshore rig
565
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:19,867
out in the gulf of mexico,
and every week,
566
00:20:19,969 --> 00:20:22,920
I would get an erotic drawing
from your grandmother.
567
00:20:23,006 --> 00:20:25,957
[ laughs ]
I tried to send pictures,
568
00:20:26,042 --> 00:20:27,758
but the boys
at the fotomat
569
00:20:27,844 --> 00:20:29,677
kept stealing 'em,
you know.
Mmm.
570
00:20:29,796 --> 00:20:31,045
Oh, god!
571
00:20:31,163 --> 00:20:34,048
And then there was the time
I was traveling the country
572
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:37,835
defending my welterweight
foxy-boxing title.
573
00:20:37,937 --> 00:20:39,387
Ding ding!
574
00:20:39,505 --> 00:20:41,472
Earl would send me
tapes of him
575
00:20:41,557 --> 00:20:43,841
reading the barry white
lyrics.
576
00:20:43,943 --> 00:20:45,643
And lots of
"penthouse" letters.
577
00:20:45,728 --> 00:20:46,677
Okay, you know what?
578
00:20:46,779 --> 00:20:48,012
I think I'm just --
I'm gonna go.
579
00:20:48,114 --> 00:20:49,013
Yeah, you know...
580
00:20:49,115 --> 00:20:51,181
That barry white stuff
was real good.
581
00:20:51,284 --> 00:20:54,518
I wouldn't mind another one
of them exotic drawings --
582
00:20:54,621 --> 00:20:58,039
you know, something like
in your foxy-boxing outfit.
583
00:20:58,157 --> 00:21:00,374
Ruby's boobies
just everywhere.
584
00:21:00,493 --> 00:21:06,547
Oh, well...
