00:16:30,707 --> 00:16:33,841
then carry it over
and add the remainder?
343
00:16:35,645 --> 00:16:37,261
There, I got it!
344
00:16:37,313 --> 00:16:40,481
Okay. Look at einstein!
345
00:16:40,517 --> 00:16:42,517
Guess my work here is done.
346
00:16:42,552 --> 00:16:44,218
-You got this.
-Don't go.
347
00:16:44,237 --> 00:16:48,856
You can stay
and be my moral support.
348
00:16:48,891 --> 00:16:50,842
Your moral support?
349
00:16:50,877 --> 00:16:52,694
-[scoffs] whatever.
-[ralph] good morning.
350
00:16:52,729 --> 00:16:53,661
Good morning.
351
00:16:53,697 --> 00:16:54,562
Good morning, pops.
352
00:16:54,581 --> 00:16:55,530
Morning, blue.
353
00:16:56,899 --> 00:16:59,033
Thought you had that
staff meeting online today?
354
00:16:59,068 --> 00:17:02,704
I do, but I wanted to help him
with his math packet first
355
00:17:02,739 --> 00:17:06,007
before getting online
and the internet's
acting up again.
356
00:17:06,042 --> 00:17:08,342
We're having
"technical difficulties."
357
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:14,182
we should probably figure out
that meeting. Them work hours
are important.
358
00:17:14,217 --> 00:17:16,801
I know, but, uh...
359
00:17:16,853 --> 00:17:18,352
I don't want him
to get more behind
than he already is.
360
00:17:19,756 --> 00:17:22,390
It's just one lesson.
I'm sure it'll be fine.
361
00:17:23,893 --> 00:17:26,394
Right. I don't know. I just...
362
00:17:28,281 --> 00:17:29,930
I can't seem to think
clearly these days.
363
00:17:29,949 --> 00:17:31,399
-Come on, blue.
-Hmm?
364
00:17:31,434 --> 00:17:32,700
Just let your mommy
use the computer.
365
00:17:32,736 --> 00:17:34,268
Mmm-hmm. See you later, mom.
366
00:17:34,287 --> 00:17:35,903
-Bye.
-Bye.
367
00:17:37,123 --> 00:17:38,239
Come on, einstein.
368
00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:41,042
I guess it's just you and me.
369
00:17:42,629 --> 00:17:44,111
What are we working on today?
370
00:17:44,130 --> 00:17:46,781
Trying not to go stir-crazy.
371
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,716
[chuckling]
sounds like a plan.
372
00:17:53,256 --> 00:17:54,756
And vi's been working
so hard at the diner,
373
00:17:54,791 --> 00:17:56,924
I figured this would be
a good surprise for her.
374
00:17:56,959 --> 00:18:01,295
Now, do I put this bourbon
on the chicken skin
or in the sauce?
375
00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:03,114
Hollingsworth,
what are you doing?
376
00:18:03,149 --> 00:18:05,049
Are you trying
to get everybody drunk?
377
00:18:05,085 --> 00:18:08,519
You do not soak the chicken
in those spirits.
378
00:18:08,571 --> 00:18:10,471
-Okay.
-You put it in the sauce.
379
00:18:10,490 --> 00:18:11,656
I hear you, mama.
380
00:18:12,942 --> 00:18:14,475
What you doing after
dinner tonight?
381
00:18:14,494 --> 00:18:16,694
I'm supposed to be
playing bridge
382
00:18:16,729 --> 00:18:19,313
with my ladies
on the computer.
383
00:18:19,332 --> 00:18:20,948
Let's see how that goes.
384
00:18:20,983 --> 00:18:23,818
Oh, sounds like fun.
Y'all gonna have a good time.
385
00:18:23,837 --> 00:18:27,605
No, no. You have to keep
your eye on miss christine.
386
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,326
You know, she likes to cheat
even when we get together
playing in person.
387
00:18:32,345 --> 00:18:35,413
So I don't know
what kind of stuff
she might try to pull
388
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:38,883
-while we all virtual.
-Yeah, she do be cheating.
389
00:18:38,918 --> 00:18:41,135
[coughing]
390
00:18:44,006 --> 00:18:45,339
that don't sound good.
391
00:18:45,358 --> 00:18:46,974
[continues coughing]
392
00:18:47,009 --> 00:18:49,160
oh, that ain't nothing.
393
00:18:49,195 --> 00:18:51,846
Everything ain't the rona.
394
00:18:51,865 --> 00:18:55,850
I'm fine. It's just
a little dry in here
this time of day,
395
00:18:55,869 --> 00:18:58,786
I just need to turn that
humidifier on, that's all.
396
00:18:58,822 --> 00:18:59,987
You sure about that?
397
00:19:00,022 --> 00:19:02,790
-I'm fine, son.
-'cause, you know, I would go
398
00:19:02,826 --> 00:19:06,026
straight up to baton rouge
with the quickness.
399
00:19:06,045 --> 00:19:09,497
You better stay at your house
and mind your business.
400
00:19:09,532 --> 00:19:12,116
I'm fine. Okay?
401
00:19:12,152 --> 00:19:13,534
I'm good. I'm great.
402
00:19:13,553 --> 00:19:16,504
I told you, just fine,
all right?
403
00:19:17,473 --> 00:19:18,923
Now...
404
00:19:18,975 --> 00:19:22,093
What are you making
for dessert?
405
00:19:22,145 --> 00:19:25,146
Cut up some fruit
or something, that'd go nice
with that chicken.
406
00:19:26,149 --> 00:19:27,148
All right.
407
00:19:28,067 --> 00:19:30,034
No, I'm not rocking
with it, man.
408
00:19:30,069 --> 00:19:31,669
It couldn't be me.
409
00:19:31,704 --> 00:19:33,821
It couldn't-- anybody
who gets a back-tat
410
00:19:33,857 --> 00:19:36,691
is going to regret it
when they're like,
[chuckling] 45.
411
00:19:38,194 --> 00:19:39,861
I'm so--
412
00:19:40,496 --> 00:19:41,863
mom, I'm just--
413
00:19:41,898 --> 00:19:43,831
I'm just talking to my boys,
I'm gonna--
414
00:19:43,867 --> 00:19:46,868
I'mma hit y'all back.
All right.
415
00:19:49,238 --> 00:19:50,922
-Hey.
-[charley] welcome home.
416
00:19:51,674 --> 00:19:52,557
Thank you.
417
00:19:53,326 --> 00:19:55,676
I'm gonna, um,
clean all this up.
418
00:19:55,712 --> 00:19:58,679
I was just zooming
for a philosophy final
I got coming up
419
00:19:58,715 --> 00:20:03,417
I thought I'd come in here
and relax for a second.
420
00:20:03,436 --> 00:20:04,852
[charley] yeah, it's fine.
421
00:20:04,888 --> 00:20:06,337
Really.
422
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:08,222
Actually wonderful
to have you home.
423
00:20:08,892 --> 00:20:10,391
Safe and sound.
424
00:20:11,761 --> 00:20:14,261
A couple days
we'll get you a test so...
425
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,898
We can be together
and not have to wear
these masks.
426
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,282
I understand.
427
00:20:19,702 --> 00:20:23,321
And just so you know,
I'm an adult.
428
00:20:23,373 --> 00:20:26,624
You are an adult,
so it's all good.
429
00:20:27,961 --> 00:20:29,276
It's all good?
430
00:20:29,295 --> 00:20:30,294
Yeah.
431
00:20:31,798 --> 00:20:33,297
It's all good.
432
00:20:34,116 --> 00:20:36,133
Okay, mom. Thank you.
433
00:20:37,220 --> 00:20:38,786
So, what do you want
for dinner?
434
00:20:38,805 --> 00:20:41,589
Oh, I was actually
gonna go for a drive.
435
00:20:42,375 --> 00:20:44,108
You know, just clear my head.
436
00:20:44,143 --> 00:20:46,210
Maybe stop by a friend's
place really quick.
437
00:20:46,246 --> 00:20:47,595
Wait.
438
00:20:47,630 --> 00:20:50,431
We talked about this
before you came home.
439
00:20:50,466 --> 00:20:53,451
-I know. I was just--
-you agreed not to visit
friends, frat brothers,
440
00:20:53,486 --> 00:20:56,570
keke, anyone, until
the stay-at-home order's
lifted.
441
00:20:57,323 --> 00:20:58,856
I won't.
442
00:20:58,891 --> 00:21:01,075
At least the keke part
will be easy.
443
00:21:01,110 --> 00:21:02,743
Oh, no, what happened?
444
00:21:04,981 --> 00:21:06,831
[chuckles] she broke up
with me
445
00:21:07,650 --> 00:21:09,200
for some other guy.
446
00:21:09,252 --> 00:21:11,085
Yeah. She had
a whole new boyfriend.
447
00:21:12,922 --> 00:21:15,122
Oh. I mean...
448
00:21:17,493 --> 00:21:18,793
I'm shocked.
449
00:21:19,679 --> 00:21:21,512
-I'm sorry.
-Yeah.
450
00:21:22,665 --> 00:21:23,965
Uh, yeah, it's for the better.
451
00:21:25,167 --> 00:21:27,468
You know, we ran our course.
452
00:21:29,105 --> 00:21:31,973
Just different...
453
00:21:33,810 --> 00:21:34,809
Paths.
454
00:21:36,946 --> 00:21:39,063
Uh...
455
00:21:39,115 --> 00:21:42,400
But dinner,
I will eat whatever you make.
456
00:21:42,452 --> 00:21:43,484
I'm starving.
457
00:21:44,954 --> 00:21:48,956
Very hungry. So hungry.
Thank you.
458
00:22:04,457 --> 00:22:06,640
That's one way to cut down
on the grocery bill.
459
00:22:07,810 --> 00:22:09,677
Just grow it yourself.
460
00:22:09,712 --> 00:22:13,514
Well, I'll have a lot more
time to spend on getting
this growing.
461
00:22:16,719 --> 00:22:17,902
I've been officially laid off.
462
00:22:18,905 --> 00:22:20,237
You said "laid off"?
463
00:22:21,407 --> 00:22:23,074
What do you mean laid off?
What happened?
464
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,194
[sighs] apparently
there was an outbreak
465
00:22:27,229 --> 00:22:29,530
among the staff that was
still working on-site.
466
00:22:31,701 --> 00:22:34,401
Seven people came up positive.
467
00:22:34,420 --> 00:22:37,088
To be safe, they're shutting
everything down until
further notice.
468
00:22:41,410 --> 00:22:44,345
So what's gonna happen
to all them people
and their insurance claims?
469
00:22:45,548 --> 00:22:47,098
They'll get backlogged.
470
00:22:53,556 --> 00:22:56,524
-They paying you still?
-For two weeks.
471
00:22:58,194 --> 00:23:01,278
And then I get furloughed.
472
00:23:02,098 --> 00:23:03,197
What's that mean?
473
00:23:04,534 --> 00:23:09,070
It means that we're still
technically employees
474
00:23:10,089 --> 00:23:11,956
and we still get benefits,
475
00:23:13,693 --> 00:23:14,909
but no checks.
476
00:23:18,881 --> 00:23:20,631
[sighs]
477
00:23:28,374 --> 00:23:30,307
[farmer] she looks
in good condition.
478
00:23:31,411 --> 00:23:32,910
Kept her up well.
479
00:23:34,497 --> 00:23:35,746
[ralph] she run well, too.
480
00:23:36,866 --> 00:23:39,033
Brand-new clutch, new tires.
481
00:23:40,253 --> 00:23:42,203
Just got the hydraulics
replaced last year.
482
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:47,458
-So what you think?
-What are you asking for it?
483
00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:49,593
-8,500.
-8,500?
484
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,130
[farmer]
it's a little steep, ain't it?
485
00:23:53,182 --> 00:23:56,550
[ralph] look, man,
four-wheel drive, three-speed
diesel with 60-inch hitch.
486
00:23:58,104 --> 00:23:59,220
I don't think so.
487
00:24:02,608 --> 00:24:04,225
[farmer]
I'll give you 5,500 for it.
488
00:24:05,445 --> 00:24:06,894
[ralph]
shit, I ain't giving it away.
489
00:24:08,097 --> 00:24:10,264
Look, man, times is hard,
but not that hard.
490
00:24:10,283 --> 00:24:13,451
Hey, I appreciate
you stopping by.
You have a good one.
491
00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:16,370
[farmer] 6,000.
492
00:24:16,405 --> 00:24:19,206
[farmer] 6,500 cash
and that's as high as it gets.
493
00:24:20,243 --> 00:24:21,408
[ralph] 7,500.
494
00:24:23,579 --> 00:24:24,712
[farmer] I'll meet you
at 7,000.
495
00:24:26,749 --> 00:24:28,299
I'm not trying to
get over on you.
496
00:24:28,784 --> 00:24:29,767
It's all I got.
497
00:24:35,475 --> 00:24:36,474
[ralph] I hear you.
498
00:24:38,744 --> 00:24:40,077
We got a deal if you got cash.
499
00:24:41,764 --> 00:24:42,930
[farmer] okay.
500
00:24:44,584 --> 00:24:46,083
[ralph] I'll start
the paperwork.
501
00:24:49,805 --> 00:24:51,822
[melancholy song playing]

00:24:57,580 --> 00:25:04,585
♪ while you were sleeping... ♪
503
00:25:04,620 --> 00:25:06,320

504
00:25:06,339 --> 00:25:07,788
come on.
505
00:25:19,635 --> 00:25:21,101
I'm sorry if I disturbed you.
506
00:25:23,139 --> 00:25:24,138
You're not.
507
00:25:26,342 --> 00:25:27,808
Who are you praying for?
508
00:25:28,861 --> 00:25:30,311
Prosper.
509
00:25:32,365 --> 00:25:33,814
Clearing his energy,
510
00:25:35,351 --> 00:25:38,285
removing some
of the loneliness,
511
00:25:38,321 --> 00:25:40,321
the despair I believe
he's starting to feel.
512
00:25:43,543 --> 00:25:45,109
That visit really got to you.
513
00:25:46,312 --> 00:25:48,162
We thought we'd be home
for two weeks.
514
00:25:50,333 --> 00:25:51,665
It's been six,
515
00:25:53,219 --> 00:25:55,502
and he's been
locked in alone all that time.
516
00:25:57,139 --> 00:25:59,640
And I walk in and he's
watching what's happening
in new york.
517
00:26:00,810 --> 00:26:02,676
Overflowing morgues,
518
00:26:02,711 --> 00:26:05,479
essential workers exposing
themselves and their families
519
00:26:05,514 --> 00:26:07,348
because there's not enough
damn protective gear.
520
00:26:07,383 --> 00:26:08,515
I mean, really?
521
00:26:10,552 --> 00:26:12,386
They're literally asking
people to stay at home
522
00:26:12,405 --> 00:26:14,822
until they can't
breathe anymore.
523
00:26:16,409 --> 00:26:18,392
What is that?
524
00:26:18,411 --> 00:26:20,995
How's he supposed to
process that sitting
in the house alone?
525
00:26:23,032 --> 00:26:24,498
I'm worried about him, too.
526
00:26:24,533 --> 00:26:27,534
Yeah, I'm worried
for everyone, frankly.
527
00:26:29,071 --> 00:26:33,007
People our age,
young people, children.
528
00:26:33,042 --> 00:26:36,677
And everyone is having
a whole different set of
issues around this.
529
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:39,213
Yeah.
530
00:26:40,383 --> 00:26:42,016
My kids are
having a rough time.
531
00:26:43,436 --> 00:26:46,236
-They are?
-Yeah, they're restless.
532
00:26:49,075 --> 00:26:50,724
No interaction
with other kids.
533
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:52,192
Having to learn online.
534
00:26:53,062 --> 00:26:55,145
This whole thing
is just not easy.
535
00:26:55,197 --> 00:26:57,731
They keep telling me
they want things to go back
the way they were.
536
00:26:59,402 --> 00:27:00,567
Don't we all?
537
00:27:02,071 --> 00:27:03,070
Don't we all?
538
00:27:30,099 --> 00:27:32,099
-[line ringing]

[line ringing]
542
00:27:50,486 --> 00:27:53,487
hello. Hello. Miss florence.
543
00:27:53,506 --> 00:27:56,373
Hey, hey, this is hollywood.
This is willa mae's son. Yeah.
544
00:27:56,425 --> 00:27:59,460
Um, have you talked
to my mother lately?
545
00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:02,880
Yeah. I...
546
00:28:02,932 --> 00:28:04,631
Haven't been able to get
ahold of her all day.
547
00:28:06,802 --> 00:28:08,335
Oh, thank you.
548
00:28:08,354 --> 00:28:10,304
If you could stop by
that would be perfect.
549
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:13,223
Yeah.
550
00:28:13,275 --> 00:28:15,142
Yeah, thank you so much.
Thank you.
551
00:28:16,011 --> 00:28:17,677
All right.
552
00:28:17,697 --> 00:28:20,130
All right. All right, you have
a good one now. Okay.
553
00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:22,166
-All right, bye-bye.
-[hangs up]
554
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,165
you've been spending
a lot of time out here.
555
00:28:41,804 --> 00:28:43,721
Sold one of my tractors today.
556
00:28:45,674 --> 00:28:47,808
Thought it would put a dent
in some of these bills,
557
00:28:47,843 --> 00:28:51,011
but it just ain't
gonna cut it.
558
00:28:54,333 --> 00:28:55,399
Truth is...
559
00:28:58,003 --> 00:28:59,670
I can't bring in harvest
this year.
560
00:29:01,824 --> 00:29:05,325
Just a fact. Got to accept it.
561
00:29:05,828 --> 00:29:07,778
[scoffs]
562
00:29:07,830 --> 00:29:09,830
guess it come
with the territory, huh?
563
00:29:11,167 --> 00:29:12,499
My daddy struggled.
564
00:29:14,670 --> 00:29:16,003
I ain't no different.
565
00:29:18,707 --> 00:29:20,624
Shit. The last thing
I'm gonna do is let my pride
566
00:29:20,676 --> 00:29:22,960
get in the way of me
supporting my family.
567
00:29:23,012 --> 00:29:24,911
I don't want you selling off
pieces of your life
568
00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:26,096
just to support us.
569
00:29:27,416 --> 00:29:28,715
I don't feel good about that.
570
00:29:30,336 --> 00:29:31,552
[sighs]
571
00:29:33,088 --> 00:29:34,555
I'm gonna get another job.
572
00:29:40,396 --> 00:29:41,528
Well, I am, too.
573
00:29:43,232 --> 00:29:45,232
-What?
-That's right.
574
00:29:46,452 --> 00:29:49,069
I'm gonna let this
harvest return itself
back to the land
575
00:29:50,439 --> 00:29:52,122
and go ahead
and get me a regular job.
576
00:29:52,941 --> 00:29:54,408
Can't control things, darla.
577
00:29:55,544 --> 00:29:57,544
Only control how
you feel about it.
578
00:30:00,449 --> 00:30:02,249
That's what mawmaw
always used to say.
579
00:30:06,305 --> 00:30:07,421
A wise woman.
580
00:30:09,058 --> 00:30:11,091
Very wise. [chuckles]
581
00:30:12,812 --> 00:30:14,595
real question is,
who's hiring?
582
00:30:16,048 --> 00:30:17,764
Got about 20 million
people out of work
583
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:19,600
right now with
this covid thing.
584
00:30:19,635 --> 00:30:21,101
That's true.
585
00:30:22,638 --> 00:30:23,970
[darla sighs]
586
00:30:23,989 --> 00:30:25,455
what about, um...
587
00:30:26,358 --> 00:30:28,475
Alcent nursing homes?
588
00:30:29,812 --> 00:30:31,478
I read they're short on staff.
589
00:30:32,698 --> 00:30:34,198
It might be risky.
590
00:30:36,368 --> 00:30:38,485
Nothing ain't risky
in 2020, baby.
591
00:30:58,073 --> 00:30:59,206
[cell phone ringing]
592
00:31:03,078 --> 00:31:04,077
hello.
593
00:31:05,414 --> 00:31:06,580
Yeah. This him.
594
00:31:07,633 --> 00:31:10,250
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
595
00:31:10,285 --> 00:31:12,386
No, that's perfect.
596
00:31:12,421 --> 00:31:13,554
4:00 p.M.?
597
00:31:14,456 --> 00:31:16,890
Yeah, yeah, will do.
598
00:31:18,394 --> 00:31:19,593
All right.
599
00:31:22,648 --> 00:31:23,647
[exhales deeply]
600
00:31:26,235 --> 00:31:28,352
I agree with you.
I never thought of it
that way.
601
00:31:28,404 --> 00:31:29,853
You feel me, like?
602
00:31:29,905 --> 00:31:31,238
I guess I saw it both ways,
603
00:31:31,273 --> 00:31:32,739
-but that makes more sense.
-[knock on door]
604
00:31:32,775 --> 00:31:33,774
come in.
605
00:31:34,994 --> 00:31:36,577
-Hey, I'm heading out.
-Hey.
606
00:31:36,612 --> 00:31:37,778
-You need anything?
-I'm good.
607
00:31:37,813 --> 00:31:40,080
I'm just on the phone
with my friend.
608
00:31:40,115 --> 00:31:41,865
[woman on phone] oh, my god.
Is that your mom?
609
00:31:41,917 --> 00:31:44,101
I love her so much.
Ooh, can I say hi?
610
00:31:44,136 --> 00:31:45,652
[chuckling] you're on speaker.
611
00:31:45,671 --> 00:31:47,454
-She can hear you.
-For real?
612
00:31:48,457 --> 00:31:49,790
Oh, my goodness!
613
00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:53,043
[stammers] uh, hello, charley.
I mean, miss bordelon west.
614
00:31:53,095 --> 00:31:55,796
-Who is that?
-Hold on. It's this girl
I go to school with.
615
00:31:55,831 --> 00:31:58,331
She look like sza.
And she is obsessed with you.
616
00:31:58,350 --> 00:32:00,851
Please say hi. Make her day.
617
00:32:03,656 --> 00:32:05,639
-[phone beeps]
-hey.
618
00:32:05,674 --> 00:32:08,525
Hello. It's charley bordelon.
619
00:32:09,111 --> 00:32:10,394
How are you?
620
00:32:10,446 --> 00:32:12,396
Oh, my gosh. It's your voice!
621
00:32:12,448 --> 00:32:15,816
Yeah, it's my voice all right.
622
00:32:15,851 --> 00:32:18,852
-Nice to meet you.
Okay, bye-bye.
-Bye!
623
00:32:18,871 --> 00:32:22,522
Oh, my gosh.
She's so nice! [laughs]
624
00:32:22,541 --> 00:32:25,659
in all the magazines
and stuff. And on
the sidelines at the game.
625
00:32:25,694 --> 00:32:28,695
She always looks so damn good.
626
00:32:28,714 --> 00:32:30,697
You always look so damn good.
627
00:32:30,716 --> 00:32:32,198
-[chuckles]
-I'm serious.
628
00:32:32,217 --> 00:32:34,084
There you go.
629
00:32:34,136 --> 00:32:37,370
I'm looking forward to
spending some time with you.
630
00:32:37,389 --> 00:32:40,140
You know, after this is
all over, some real time.
631
00:32:40,175 --> 00:32:42,092
Yeah, I want that, too.
632
00:32:42,144 --> 00:32:44,094
-A lot.
-Oh, yeah?
633
00:32:44,146 --> 00:32:45,312
Yeah.
634
00:32:46,381 --> 00:32:47,731
Yeah, I bet you do.
635
00:32:59,695 --> 00:33:02,362
[woman] mr. Bordelon,
come on back.
636
00:33:03,666 --> 00:33:05,032
[clears throat]
637
00:33:10,506 --> 00:33:13,290
and then, pending a negative
covid-19 test,
638
00:33:13,325 --> 00:33:17,828
you'll be required to finish
our mandatory protocols
and procedures workshop.
639
00:33:17,863 --> 00:33:19,680
That's if you're hired.
640
00:33:20,933 --> 00:33:24,384
-Any questions so far?
-No, ma'am.
641
00:33:26,105 --> 00:33:28,188
Mr. Bordelon,
642
00:33:28,223 --> 00:33:31,391
you're clear that this is
a custodial position, right?
643
00:33:32,695 --> 00:33:34,711
Yes, ma'am, I'm clear.
644
00:33:34,747 --> 00:33:37,531
And I very much
appreciate the opportunity.
645
00:33:37,566 --> 00:33:41,985
Do you... I mean,
you're a farmer by trade.
646
00:33:42,037 --> 00:33:45,122
Used to being your own boss.
And the pay here...
647
00:33:46,408 --> 00:33:48,592
Well, I guess what
I'm getting at is that
648
00:33:48,627 --> 00:33:51,611
this is a caregiving business.
649
00:33:51,630 --> 00:33:54,498
Our number-one priority
is the safety and wellbeing
650
00:33:54,550 --> 00:33:57,334
-of our elderly.
-I understand.
651
00:33:57,369 --> 00:34:00,237
This isn't a job you take
just because your money's
gotten funny.
652
00:34:00,272 --> 00:34:02,089
It's unglamorous work,
653
00:34:02,124 --> 00:34:04,841
and we hold our residents
most sacred.
654
00:34:04,877 --> 00:34:07,427
I'm not looking for
just a clock-puncher.
655
00:34:07,462 --> 00:34:12,015
I want someone that wants
to be of service
to our residents.
656
00:34:12,067 --> 00:34:14,985
I found that those
are our team members
that work out the best.
657
00:34:15,754 --> 00:34:17,104
Miss thompson.
658
00:34:18,824 --> 00:34:20,757
My father's ernest bordelon.
659
00:34:21,326 --> 00:34:22,459
He was a farmer.
660
00:34:23,328 --> 00:34:25,311
He also pushed
a broom for a living.
661
00:34:25,330 --> 00:34:28,248
Waxed floors,
scrubbed toilets,
662
00:34:28,283 --> 00:34:29,950
did what he had to do
for his family.
663
00:34:31,086 --> 00:34:32,436
But he did it
with his head up.
664
00:34:33,772 --> 00:34:35,672
You know, growing up,
he taught me to do the same.
665
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:39,376
Checked his ego at the door.
666
00:34:39,411 --> 00:34:41,945
So I take pride in making sure
folk live in dignity.
667
00:34:43,966 --> 00:34:47,267
I admit,
my money is kind of funny.
668
00:34:47,302 --> 00:34:48,468
In fact, it's hilarious.
669
00:34:49,337 --> 00:34:51,772
But being here is a choice.
670
00:34:51,807 --> 00:34:55,025
And I know what it takes.
And I understand what this is.
671
00:34:56,145 --> 00:34:58,361
As you also said, I am a boss,
672
00:34:59,264 --> 00:35:01,331
so I know what
a good employee look like.
673
00:35:03,685 --> 00:35:05,619
I'm here to solve
your problems, miss thompson.
674
00:35:08,874 --> 00:35:10,157
Can you start on Monday?
675
00:35:11,794 --> 00:35:12,976
Yes, I can.
676
00:35:13,011 --> 00:35:15,212
[line ringing]
677
00:35:17,549 --> 00:35:18,949
[sighs]
678
00:35:28,227 --> 00:35:30,594
chamomile, honey,
679
00:35:30,629 --> 00:35:34,347
a little bit of lemon,
stirred with a cinnamon stick.
680
00:35:38,070 --> 00:35:39,653
So how's prosper?
681
00:35:39,688 --> 00:35:41,321
I couldn't get ahold
of him just now.
682
00:35:42,207 --> 00:35:43,690
Thank you for this.
683
00:35:45,577 --> 00:35:47,777
I know your mama's
on your mind.
684
00:35:47,830 --> 00:35:49,045
Yeah.
685
00:35:49,081 --> 00:35:53,667
Her neighbor says
she stopped by,
checked on her.
686
00:35:53,702 --> 00:35:56,653
Yeah, she was doing okay,
just a bit lethargic.
687
00:35:57,389 --> 00:35:58,872
I looked up that symptom.
688
00:35:59,925 --> 00:36:01,057
It wasn't good.
689
00:36:02,711 --> 00:36:05,212
Every time I talk to mama,
she says she's okay.
690
00:36:06,231 --> 00:36:08,131
But I don't like it.
691
00:36:08,167 --> 00:36:10,600
Maybe you should run on up
there and see about her.
692
00:36:12,204 --> 00:36:14,838
You won't put
your mind at peace
693
00:36:14,873 --> 00:36:16,573
till you lay eyes on her.
694
00:36:16,608 --> 00:36:18,024
Hey, what about
your deliveries?
695
00:36:18,060 --> 00:36:20,360
Oh, your mama's
more important.
696
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:24,014
Maybe I'll...
697
00:36:25,350 --> 00:36:26,783
Head out first light.

Fifteen years after

due to the coronavirus

This trend also includes

Just this week, police said
teens attacked a 51-year-old

How are you feeling, prosper?

And don't say fine.

I really wanna know
how you doing over there.

00:38:19,982 --> 00:38:21,147
I'm a little worried
about you.

Yeah. Uh...
736
00:38:24,202 --> 00:38:25,302
Uh, I'm sorry,

I was rude when you came by.
That, that ain't me.

You weren't rude.
739

And there's no need
to apologize.

But also everyone's different,
you know?

Going through it

Yeah, I suppose.

I'm working on for tru papers?
748
00:38:54,933 --> 00:38:57,417
It's about the new movement
to help get the homeless
off the street

and into these empty hotels
that are closed due
to the virus.

I'd love to get a quote
from you from this article.

Get your opinion.

00:39:05,344 --> 00:39:07,360
Oh, uh, sure.

Hmm.
756
00:39:19,458 --> 00:39:21,274
Somebody cleans up well.

Well, you must have forgot,
I make everything look good,
baby.

And here I go
thinking you was my friend.

I am your friend.
I'm just saying.
764
00:39:35,290 --> 00:39:38,091
I'm just saying, seeing that
a brother can't get
to a barber.

00:39:39,261 --> 00:39:41,928

fine job lining myself up.

-[both laugh]
-you did.
I'm just kidding.

You look fine.
768
00:39:46,468 --> 00:39:47,517
You look good.
769
00:39:47,569 --> 00:39:48,601
Thank you, I guess.

How you feeling
about your first day?
771
00:39:53,325 --> 00:39:54,657
Better than I thought.

Glad to have a check
coming in.

my blessings.

Mmm-hmm.

00:40:01,950 --> 00:40:03,816
But tell me, what you got
going on over here?
776
00:40:03,835 --> 00:40:06,002
Don't you worry about
what I got going on over here.
777
00:40:06,671 --> 00:40:08,671
This is going to be awesome.
778
00:40:10,425 --> 00:40:12,041
-I'll let you tell it.
-Mmm-hmm.
779
00:40:12,094 --> 00:40:13,259
I'm proud of you.
780
00:40:16,014 --> 00:40:17,130
I know.
781
00:40:17,966 --> 00:40:19,432
-I'm gonna see you later.
-Mmm-hmm.
782
00:40:20,435 --> 00:40:21,718
Keep it up.
783
00:40:21,770 --> 00:40:22,969
I put your lunch
in the cooler.
784
00:40:24,773 --> 00:40:26,339
-Thank you, baby.
-Mmm-hmm.
