1
00:00:00,102 --> 00:00:01,268
Previously on "The Breaks"...
2
00:00:01,336 --> 00:00:02,818
Fouray manufactures receipts
when he's on tour,
3
00:00:02,843 --> 00:00:04,241
and he pockets the cash
when he's reimbursed.
4
00:00:04,266 --> 00:00:06,006
You're gonna trust
this ho over your boy?
5
00:00:06,031 --> 00:00:07,584
What the fuck you talking about?
6
00:00:07,609 --> 00:00:10,053
I have this fantasy that
we would cut the album,
7
00:00:10,078 --> 00:00:12,240
and it saves hip hop from going pop.
8
00:00:12,319 --> 00:00:15,186
Our audience is not interested
in the noise you call hip-hop.
9
00:00:15,255 --> 00:00:17,279
Hey, Bernard, this the kid
I was telling you about.
10
00:00:17,365 --> 00:00:19,991
Played that PE at WPPS.
11
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:22,342
Let me know if you're ever
really ready to talk.
12
00:00:22,407 --> 00:00:23,444
Otherwise...
13
00:00:25,152 --> 00:00:26,631
Hands against the car.
14
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:27,832
- Wait...
- What'd I do?
15
00:00:27,901 --> 00:00:29,334
You can't arrest him! Deevee!
16
00:00:29,402 --> 00:00:31,102
Mr. Van Putten is my client.
17
00:00:31,171 --> 00:00:34,606
You call fucking Juggy to get
our friend out of jail.
18
00:00:34,674 --> 00:00:35,874
I'm supposed to just
let him sit in a cell
19
00:00:35,942 --> 00:00:37,609
because you got daddy issues?
20
00:00:37,677 --> 00:00:38,977
So you the middle-man?
21
00:00:39,045 --> 00:00:40,545
No, I negotiate
22
00:00:40,614 --> 00:00:42,647
with the label on behalf of the artist.
23
00:00:42,716 --> 00:00:44,082
Thanks for your time, huh?
24
00:00:44,151 --> 00:00:46,317
Gonna start my own label.
25
00:00:46,386 --> 00:00:47,619
Better come on, boy.
26
00:00:49,656 --> 00:00:51,789
He might be snitching, kid's gotta go.
27
00:01:22,088 --> 00:01:23,922
How long am I supposed to be in here?
28
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:26,691
You got somewhere to be?
29
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,526
Nah, I...
30
00:01:28,595 --> 00:01:31,162
I mean, yeah, I'd like to go home,
31
00:01:31,231 --> 00:01:33,531
take a shower and whatnot.
32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,067
They got a shower at the precinct.
33
00:01:37,537 --> 00:01:39,637
Didn't you shower over there?
34
00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:44,842
Look, I... I mean, nah...
35
00:01:44,911 --> 00:01:48,346
nah, um, I... they didn't let me.
36
00:01:48,415 --> 00:01:50,931
- What they let you do?
- Nothing.
37
00:01:51,084 --> 00:01:53,392
- What'd you tell 'em?
- Nothing.
38
00:01:53,553 --> 00:01:54,786
You sure?
39
00:01:54,855 --> 00:01:57,622
Yes, I'm... I'm positive.
40
00:02:05,866 --> 00:02:08,133
So we gonna work together.
41
00:02:10,137 --> 00:02:11,836
Most definitely.
42
00:02:11,905 --> 00:02:13,471
A'ight.
43
00:02:14,774 --> 00:02:16,264
Let's work.

00:02:21,367 --> 00:02:25,332

45
00:02:37,414 --> 00:02:40,615
We should fight more often.
46
00:02:40,684 --> 00:02:43,351
Mm-hmm.
47
00:02:43,420 --> 00:02:45,954
Oh... what about in, like, ten minutes?
48
00:02:46,023 --> 00:02:48,456
Stop being so stupid.
49
00:03:02,906 --> 00:03:05,206
Hey, should we try Deevee again?
50
00:03:05,275 --> 00:03:07,675
Where? He's not at his dad's.
51
00:03:07,744 --> 00:03:11,079
Oh, you don't think he went
back to Juggy's, do you?
52
00:03:11,148 --> 00:03:13,515
Last thing I need is my best friend
53
00:03:13,583 --> 00:03:16,584
and my girlfriend hanging out
with Juggy all the time.
54
00:03:16,653 --> 00:03:17,986
David, it was an emergency.
55
00:03:18,055 --> 00:03:20,288
I got it, I got it,
I'm... look, I'm glad
56
00:03:20,357 --> 00:03:21,790
that Deevee is not in jail,
57
00:03:21,858 --> 00:03:24,692
and I am glad that Juggy was at home.
58
00:03:24,761 --> 00:03:26,227
- Me, too.
- Good.
59
00:03:26,313 --> 00:03:28,596
Can you come back to bed now?
60
00:03:28,665 --> 00:03:30,999
Stop, I gotta go.
61
00:03:31,068 --> 00:03:33,068
You know if I'm on the ground floor
62
00:03:33,136 --> 00:03:35,370
of Barry's new label,
then I'm part of the foundation.
63
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:37,972
Yeah, but didn't you start,
like, yesterday?
64
00:03:38,041 --> 00:03:42,077
Let him feel you out and... just, like,
bring you along at his own pace.
65
00:03:42,145 --> 00:03:46,314
If I'd've done that, I'd've never
gotten the job in the first place.

00:04:03,467 --> 00:04:06,868
I hear congratulations are in order.
69
00:04:08,505 --> 00:04:10,738
You shouldn't have.
70
00:04:10,807 --> 00:04:13,007
Little Mattie Taylor.
71
00:04:13,076 --> 00:04:15,543
Head of black music.
72
00:04:15,612 --> 00:04:18,947
From promo assistant
to big office with a view.
73
00:04:19,015 --> 00:04:21,364
Not that I was ever
invited to the last one, but...
74
00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:23,351
Well, clearly you don't
wait for an invitation.
75
00:04:23,420 --> 00:04:25,630
Well, I guess that's
the thing about foresight.
76
00:04:25,708 --> 00:04:28,189
Where would we be if we
waited for what we wanted?
77
00:04:28,258 --> 00:04:30,391
So, black music.
78
00:04:30,460 --> 00:04:33,061
That's not where I left it,
that's for sure.
79
00:04:33,130 --> 00:04:35,163
But you got a solid roster here, right?
80
00:04:35,232 --> 00:04:37,432
You got Keith Sweat, Tay Six.
81
00:04:37,501 --> 00:04:39,601
Don't forget Al B...
with that face and that voice,
82
00:04:39,669 --> 00:04:42,570
women all over this country are
gonna be wet with anticipation.
83
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:45,206
Well, not every woman.
84
00:04:45,275 --> 00:04:47,509
What brings you by, Juggy?
85
00:04:47,577 --> 00:04:49,344
I heard you might be
86
00:04:49,412 --> 00:04:51,446
adding the hip hop to your repertoire.
87
00:04:51,515 --> 00:04:54,949
My chairman says there's gold
in them-there hills.
88
00:04:55,018 --> 00:04:56,684
But he said that about disco too, so.
89
00:04:56,753 --> 00:04:58,019
This might be different.
90
00:04:58,088 --> 00:05:00,388
My son David, he's crazy about it.
91
00:05:00,457 --> 00:05:02,490
He thinks radio's gonna
catch on eventually.
92
00:05:02,559 --> 00:05:05,894
What do you say you and me,
we get out in front of this?
93
00:05:05,962 --> 00:05:07,195
Huh?
94
00:05:10,133 --> 00:05:13,234
Kids, what do they know, right?
95
00:05:13,303 --> 00:05:15,236
I don't know.
96
00:05:15,305 --> 00:05:19,207
You want me to work
some records for you?
97
00:05:19,276 --> 00:05:20,675
Be just like the old days,
98
00:05:20,744 --> 00:05:23,344
you know, but this time,
you call all the shots.
99
00:05:23,413 --> 00:05:25,513
That's really gracious of you, Juggy.
100
00:05:25,582 --> 00:05:27,782
- Hmm.
- Are you also going to allow me to choose
101
00:05:27,853 --> 00:05:29,626
which markets I wanna push my acts in,
102
00:05:29,704 --> 00:05:33,188
or do you still owe
Cap Reynolds a favor for Tulsa?
103
00:05:33,256 --> 00:05:36,357
Oh, my, Mattie.
104
00:05:36,426 --> 00:05:38,560
No one's supposed to know about that.
105
00:05:38,628 --> 00:05:40,628
Nobody does.
106
00:05:40,697 --> 00:05:42,163
About Cap...
107
00:05:42,232 --> 00:05:43,798
Never in a million years.
108
00:05:45,068 --> 00:05:46,301
You don't wanna hear me out?
109
00:05:46,369 --> 00:05:47,969
Juggy, it was nice to see you.
110
00:05:55,378 --> 00:05:58,179
♪ I remember when I first
heard Rakim spit ♪
111
00:05:58,248 --> 00:05:59,948
You heard the man, he likes this.
112
00:06:00,016 --> 00:06:01,496
He's not even giving him another song.
113
00:06:01,551 --> 00:06:04,018
Well, Tommy Boy is going to drop him
114
00:06:04,087 --> 00:06:05,327
if he doesn't deliver the song,
115
00:06:05,388 --> 00:06:06,554
which means that he won't be able
116
00:06:06,623 --> 00:06:08,183
to finish the new album, which means...
117
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,291
Okay, that means that
we take a different approach.
118
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,427
- With D Rome?
- With everybody, with everything.
119
00:06:12,495 --> 00:06:14,195
We let Tommy Boy drop D Rome.
120
00:06:14,264 --> 00:06:15,330
What?
121
00:06:15,398 --> 00:06:16,848
We're gonna let Tommy Boy drop D Rome.
122
00:06:16,919 --> 00:06:19,000
- and we're gonna sign him.
- To what?
123
00:06:19,069 --> 00:06:20,235
Fouray Records.
124
00:06:20,303 --> 00:06:22,670
Barry, we don't have
the money for a label...
125
00:06:22,739 --> 00:06:24,639
I didn't have the money
when I started this company.
126
00:06:24,708 --> 00:06:26,574
- You ever had a check that bounced?
- Actually...
127
00:06:26,643 --> 00:06:30,478
I just need a way to show him
that we're all about D Rome.
128
00:06:30,547 --> 00:06:33,248
You know, some way to show him
that he should believe in us.
129
00:06:33,316 --> 00:06:35,283
Something that Tommy Boy won't do,
130
00:06:35,352 --> 00:06:36,851
something that Gordy can't do,
131
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,821
so that motherfucker stop
putting shit in D Rome head.
132
00:06:39,889 --> 00:06:41,856
The Ride concert.
133
00:06:41,925 --> 00:06:44,392
It's tonight. Keith
Sweat is the headliner.
134
00:06:44,461 --> 00:06:47,228
Maybe we can get Keith to let D Rome
spit his verses on that song.
135
00:06:47,297 --> 00:06:50,064
Live, in front of
thousands of screaming fans.
136
00:06:50,133 --> 00:06:51,866
- That's insane.
- That's a great idea, yeah.
137
00:06:51,935 --> 00:06:54,335
That's insane, that's exactly
why we need to do it.
138
00:06:54,404 --> 00:06:56,304
That's perfect, that's a perfect idea.
139
00:06:56,373 --> 00:06:58,172
I love it, I love it,
I love it, Ms. Unreasonable.
140
00:06:58,241 --> 00:06:59,474
That's great, very...
141
00:06:59,542 --> 00:07:01,442
Ahh-ahh-ahh, where you going?
No, no-no-no.
142
00:07:01,511 --> 00:07:03,344
I need you to chill out here
and work on that business plan
143
00:07:03,413 --> 00:07:04,879
for the record label,
we need it perfect.
144
00:07:04,948 --> 00:07:07,348
- Come on, Barry...
- Stop, I don't even wanna hear it.
145
00:07:09,119 --> 00:07:10,891
Come on, come on.
146
00:07:18,395 --> 00:07:20,962
- Hey, what's up, D?
- What's happening, man?
147
00:07:21,031 --> 00:07:22,497
King!
148
00:07:22,565 --> 00:07:23,765
What up, man, you making love
149
00:07:23,833 --> 00:07:25,867
to some lucky woman
on-stage tonight? Huh?
150
00:07:25,935 --> 00:07:28,436
Ha-ha, Fouray. What's up, baby?
151
00:07:28,505 --> 00:07:29,745
I know you ain't here for a cut.
152
00:07:29,773 --> 00:07:32,206
Ah, man, no-no-no-no, come on, come on.
153
00:07:32,275 --> 00:07:34,809
- Stop, please, I mean...
- He's good.
154
00:07:34,878 --> 00:07:36,711
Recognize me, man.
155
00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:38,279
I ain't the one with sharp objects.
156
00:07:38,348 --> 00:07:41,149
Keith, I need to holler
at you for one second
157
00:07:41,217 --> 00:07:42,650
about D Rome, though,
you got a hot second?
158
00:07:42,719 --> 00:07:44,786
Your boy is hot. He killed the remix.
159
00:07:44,854 --> 00:07:47,755
That's what I'm saying,
so let's see if we can, like,
160
00:07:47,824 --> 00:07:50,291
work it out he perform
with you tonight on the stage?
161
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,694
Hey, that's not
the blade you used last time.
162
00:07:52,762 --> 00:07:55,229
Remember how you sculpted
right above my ear?
163
00:07:55,298 --> 00:07:56,931
Do that again, baby, come on now.
164
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,633
So, what's up? What you think?
165
00:07:58,702 --> 00:08:01,602
I mean, I guess so.
Is it cool with Bernard?
166
00:08:01,671 --> 00:08:03,671
Bernard? I don't need
to talk to Bernard,
167
00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:05,573
bring up the past, for what?
168
00:08:05,642 --> 00:08:07,642
He only really care that
you headlining his show
169
00:08:07,711 --> 00:08:09,277
and not Sampson's show, like, for what?
170
00:08:09,346 --> 00:08:11,179
Listen, you take
Anita Baker on the stage,
171
00:08:11,247 --> 00:08:13,114
Y'all do "Make It Last Forever."
172
00:08:13,183 --> 00:08:14,749
Do you need Bernard's permission?
173
00:08:16,486 --> 00:08:18,252
All right, baby, you got it.
174
00:08:18,321 --> 00:08:20,488
Hey, bring your man side of stage.
175
00:08:20,557 --> 00:08:22,190
I'll pass him the mic before I'm done.
176
00:08:22,258 --> 00:08:23,991
Aah! That's what's up.
177
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:25,326
We're out of credentials.
178
00:08:25,395 --> 00:08:27,762
Man, my name is my pass.
179
00:08:31,735 --> 00:08:33,868
All right, hey, I'll see you later, man.
180
00:08:35,805 --> 00:08:37,939
I'mma go get D Rome, you go get Josie
181
00:08:38,007 --> 00:08:39,173
and meet me backstage.
182
00:08:39,242 --> 00:08:40,675
Look, make sure that he look right
183
00:08:40,744 --> 00:08:42,510
and y'all are on time, you got that?
184
00:08:42,579 --> 00:08:44,112
- I got it, Barry.
- Good.
185
00:08:44,180 --> 00:08:47,148
That'll give me some time
to... to work Mattie Taylor.
186
00:08:47,217 --> 00:08:50,184
Listen, Nikki, good idea.
187
00:08:50,253 --> 00:08:52,553
Very, very good idea, I like that.
188
00:09:00,585 --> 00:09:02,764
Oh shit, Barry!
189
00:09:03,666 --> 00:09:05,066

Have you ever tried to do,
like, a... like, a hook?
207
00:09:55,174 --> 00:09:56,039
What?
208
00:09:56,108 --> 00:09:57,608
You know, like, a hook,
209
00:09:57,676 --> 00:09:59,276
like something that goes
in between everything
210
00:09:59,345 --> 00:10:01,278
so it doesn't sound like you just...
211
00:10:01,347 --> 00:10:03,614
going on and on and on?
212
00:10:05,017 --> 00:10:08,452
I mean, people like to sing along.
213
00:10:08,521 --> 00:10:09,987
I ain't singing.
214
00:10:10,055 --> 00:10:12,456
I know you're not singing, but just...
215
00:10:12,525 --> 00:10:13,891
You think my shit 's whack?
216
00:10:13,959 --> 00:10:16,560
No, no, no, man, not at all.
217
00:10:16,629 --> 00:10:19,997
Then what the fuck is it?
You just a fucking producer?
218
00:10:20,065 --> 00:10:23,000
You don't know what the fuck
you're doing, huh?
219
00:10:23,068 --> 00:10:25,769
- I know what I'm doing.
- What?
220
00:10:25,838 --> 00:10:27,437
I can't hear you.
221
00:10:27,506 --> 00:10:29,239
I... I... I just said
222
00:10:29,308 --> 00:10:31,475
I know what I'm...
I know what I'm doing.
223
00:10:31,544 --> 00:10:33,911
So you can make it work
without the hook.
224
00:10:36,415 --> 00:10:38,081
Then make it work.
225
00:10:48,260 --> 00:10:49,893
95.5, the Ride.
226
00:10:49,962 --> 00:10:51,702
Show some New York City pride.
227
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:54,428
Name this Brooklyn band
and this old-school jam and win
228
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:56,833
two tickets to the Keith Sweat's
concert tonight.
229
00:10:56,902 --> 00:10:59,102
- Man, Sampson'll hate that.
- Will he?
230
00:10:59,171 --> 00:11:01,305
Yeah, he thinks he owns that account.
231
00:11:03,175 --> 00:11:05,909
Boy, I wish I could've been there
when you played that record.
232
00:11:05,978 --> 00:11:08,312
Let me ask you something.
233
00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:11,148
You knew he'd can you, why'd you do it?
234
00:11:11,216 --> 00:11:13,617
Because I showed him
research that proved
235
00:11:13,686 --> 00:11:15,686
he could beat you by playing hip hop,
236
00:11:15,754 --> 00:11:17,554
and he told me to stick
to getting his coffee.
237
00:11:21,627 --> 00:11:23,694
Yes?
238
00:11:32,938 --> 00:11:34,605
I need your help.
239
00:11:34,673 --> 00:11:36,440
What's wrong? Is Deevee okay?
240
00:11:36,508 --> 00:11:37,708
No, it's nothing like that.
241
00:11:37,776 --> 00:11:39,776
Barry got Keith Sweat
to let D Rome perform
242
00:11:39,845 --> 00:11:41,778
his verse on the remix tonight, and...
243
00:11:41,847 --> 00:11:44,185
but they don't have any credentials,
and I need to get in.
244
00:11:44,210 --> 00:11:45,275
What?
245
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:47,184
- Barry got Keith Sweat...
- No-no-no, I got that,
246
00:11:47,252 --> 00:11:49,553
but I'm confused why you're here.
247
00:11:49,622 --> 00:11:50,954
- I need a credential.
- Nikki...
248
00:11:51,023 --> 00:11:54,124
artists who are scheduled to perform
can't even get passes, so...
249
00:11:54,193 --> 00:11:56,326
You don't understand,
David, I need to get in.
250
00:11:56,395 --> 00:11:59,696
You don't understand, I can't
give out any more passes.
251
00:11:59,765 --> 00:12:01,765
Okay, so just turn
your head away for a sec
252
00:12:01,834 --> 00:12:03,033
and get us an order.
253
00:12:03,102 --> 00:12:04,635
I can't do that, Nikki.
254
00:12:04,703 --> 00:12:06,470
David, it's me.
255
00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:08,905
I'm sorry.
256
00:12:11,143 --> 00:12:13,110
You know, you're too good.
257
00:12:14,313 --> 00:12:16,580
You say that like it's a bad thing.
258
00:12:16,649 --> 00:12:19,082
It's not, it's sweet.
259
00:12:21,387 --> 00:12:23,487
- Nikki, I...
- No-no, it's okay, it's cool.
260
00:12:24,347 --> 00:12:26,180

You're just not breathing.

Uh, like, you're not...
269
00:13:05,431 --> 00:13:07,798

Or if you don't wanna do that,
then we can just, you know,

Punch? What you talking about?
275
00:13:19,845 --> 00:13:20,977
Punch in.
276
00:13:21,046 --> 00:13:23,113
"Punch in" means, like, to record,
277
00:13:23,182 --> 00:13:26,616
like, line right after
another line, like...
278
00:13:36,028 --> 00:13:37,628
Yo, we need to talk.
279
00:13:39,331 --> 00:13:41,098
Yo, get the fuck out the hallway.
280
00:13:42,768 --> 00:13:44,568
Bounce!
281
00:13:46,739 --> 00:13:48,305
- What happened?
- Yo, Geronimo's crew
282
00:13:48,373 --> 00:13:51,274
called Bug over there about
Kennedy's men on some wild shit.
283
00:13:51,343 --> 00:13:53,472
- What you mean?
- They chopped the nigga up, man,
284
00:13:53,550 --> 00:13:56,012
on some Freddy Krueger shit, dog.
285
00:13:56,081 --> 00:13:57,748
What happened to you?
286
00:13:57,816 --> 00:13:59,176
Had to get his body off the street.
287
00:13:59,218 --> 00:14:00,751
I ain't no fucking see him that way.
288
00:14:00,819 --> 00:14:02,385
- Go clean up.
- All right.
289
00:14:02,454 --> 00:14:05,288
Hey, you heard me, man?
Nigga, move right now.
290
00:14:05,357 --> 00:14:07,991
That's exactly what Bruce
expecting us to do.
291
00:14:08,052 --> 00:14:11,820
Push now, we gonna have
half of Brooklyn on our ass.
292
00:14:11,897 --> 00:14:13,939
We gotta square it with Bug's people.
293
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:19,598
No doubt.
294
00:14:19,838 --> 00:14:21,084
Prep School.
295
00:14:22,207 --> 00:14:24,307
Not gonna work out.
296
00:14:24,376 --> 00:14:25,742
Call Scooter.
297
00:14:25,811 --> 00:14:27,310
Word.
298
00:14:36,127 --> 00:14:37,419
Thanks so much for this again.
299
00:14:37,479 --> 00:14:39,012
Hey, no problem, we'll get you in.
300
00:14:39,081 --> 00:14:41,481
Hey... put this on.
301
00:14:41,550 --> 00:14:43,450
Oh, yeah, take... Yeah.
302
00:14:46,288 --> 00:14:47,754
Hey, Nikki.
303
00:14:47,823 --> 00:14:49,890
Power up, dab some on.
304
00:14:53,262 --> 00:14:54,795
Yeah, you're good.
305
00:14:54,863 --> 00:14:56,463
Follow my lead.
306
00:15:06,909 --> 00:15:09,309
Hey, there, Josie Cho,
shooting the concert
307
00:15:09,378 --> 00:15:11,611
for Ebony Magazine. This is my editor...
308
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,014
actually, the editor of Ebony Magazine.
309
00:15:14,083 --> 00:15:15,749
Ms. Monica Cole.
310
00:15:15,818 --> 00:15:18,385
Look, her flight got delayed,
and her luggage got lost.
311
00:15:18,454 --> 00:15:20,354
The luggage containing her credentials.
312
00:15:20,422 --> 00:15:22,522
Look, I don't care if you're
the Margaret Thatcher,
313
00:15:22,591 --> 00:15:24,658
you ain't getting in here
without a pass.
314
00:15:27,229 --> 00:15:30,230
Wilkinson... what's your first name?
315
00:15:30,299 --> 00:15:32,875
- George.
- Nice to meet you, George Wilkinson.
316
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:35,056
Can you direct me to the
nearest pay phone?
317
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,234
Why?
318
00:15:36,259 --> 00:15:39,172
Oh, Bernard Masters is my
neighbor and personal friend.
319
00:15:39,241 --> 00:15:42,275
I just wanted to let him know
what a fine job his security was doing.
320
00:15:44,947 --> 00:15:46,480
Right this way, Miss.
321
00:15:52,054 --> 00:15:53,420
- He's here.
- That was great.
322
00:15:53,489 --> 00:15:56,456
Reminds me of sneaking
in to CBGB's when I was 13.
323
00:15:56,525 --> 00:15:59,359
13? Damn, girl, you didn't
look a little young?
324
00:15:59,428 --> 00:16:01,928
Power ahead, worked then, works now.
325
00:16:01,997 --> 00:16:03,630
What're you doing here?
326
00:16:03,699 --> 00:16:05,465
I told you I was coming.
327
00:16:05,534 --> 00:16:07,234
Barry got you a pass.
328
00:16:07,302 --> 00:16:09,636
Mm-mm, David, meet Josie, my new friend.
329
00:16:09,705 --> 00:16:11,438
Josie, meet David, he's my boyfriend.
330
00:16:11,507 --> 00:16:12,839
Oh, nice to meet you.
331
00:16:12,908 --> 00:16:14,341
Nikki, I'll see you
in the dressing room?
332
00:16:14,410 --> 00:16:15,909
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, thanks.
333
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,080
So your girl got you a pass.
334
00:16:20,149 --> 00:16:21,849
- No.
- Then who?
335
00:16:21,935 --> 00:16:23,383
Inquiring minds want to know.
336
00:16:23,452 --> 00:16:27,120
Yeah, we do, it's usually pretty hard
to get into a Ride concert.
337
00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:29,656
But, hey, you are a hustler.
338
00:16:29,725 --> 00:16:32,125
You say that like it's a bad thing.
339
00:16:32,194 --> 00:16:35,695
It's not, it's, uh, sweet.
340
00:16:36,698 --> 00:16:38,331
Look,
341
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,499
I'll find out how you got in later,
342
00:16:39,568 --> 00:16:41,008
but I gotta get this stuff upstairs.
343
00:16:48,243 --> 00:16:49,743
I'm feeling good about tonight, baby.
344
00:16:49,812 --> 00:16:51,845
I... we making a deal,
and I know... I know
345
00:16:51,914 --> 00:16:53,947
Mattie Taylor's around here
somewhere, I can smell it.
346
00:16:54,016 --> 00:16:56,950
Really? And what're you gonna tell
Mattie Taylor when you find her?
347
00:16:57,019 --> 00:16:59,152
I'm gonna tell her the time is
now to get with Fouray Records.
348
00:16:59,221 --> 00:17:00,607
- We about to blow up.
- Prematurely.
349
00:17:00,632 --> 00:17:02,834
Dude, you are like the fucking Grinch.
350
00:17:02,859 --> 00:17:04,224
We are not ready to meet with Mattie.
351
00:17:04,293 --> 00:17:05,559
She know I got my ear to the streets.
352
00:17:05,627 --> 00:17:07,127
She might not admit it,
353
00:17:07,196 --> 00:17:08,646
but she know I'm what she missing.
354
00:17:08,671 --> 00:17:10,764
- We talking about the same Mattie Taylor?
- Yes!
355
00:17:10,833 --> 00:17:12,732
Yeah, the one and only Mattie Taylor.
356
00:17:12,801 --> 00:17:14,576
That's who we're talking about, Grinch.
357
00:17:14,646 --> 00:17:15,969
Look, let's just talk to her
358
00:17:16,038 --> 00:17:18,428
once we've got some talent locked down.
359
00:17:18,513 --> 00:17:19,940
- I hear you...
- And some production money.
360
00:17:20,008 --> 00:17:21,424
Please, this is the only shot
we get business with her.
361
00:17:21,518 --> 00:17:23,410
Okay, I'm gonna make
the shot count, I promise.
362
00:17:23,478 --> 00:17:25,078
It's gonna count.
363
00:17:28,295 --> 00:17:29,895
Hey, no doubt.
364
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,833
Not even a wristband.
365
00:17:39,061 --> 00:17:40,594
Okay.
366
00:17:40,662 --> 00:17:43,930
Mr. Keith goes on exactly 9:15,
and we're closing with "Make You Sweat."
367
00:17:43,999 --> 00:17:45,765
Have you go out there at 9:55,
can you do that?
368
00:17:45,834 --> 00:17:47,667
- Yes.
- Let me guess.
369
00:17:47,736 --> 00:17:50,370
- The boss loaned his lanyard.
- Nope.
370
00:17:50,439 --> 00:17:52,739
Yeah, well, you need an ID.
371
00:17:52,808 --> 00:17:54,140
So you couldn't get in
on the guest list.
372
00:17:54,209 --> 00:17:56,543
And you are not the type
to flirt your way in.
373
00:17:58,780 --> 00:18:00,714
You posing as somebody.
374
00:18:00,782 --> 00:18:02,015
Left some poor guard shook.
375
00:18:02,084 --> 00:18:04,117
You could've just
given me the credential.
376
00:18:04,186 --> 00:18:06,753
Yeah, but where's the fun in that?
377
00:18:07,689 --> 00:18:09,189
You clearly don't need one.
378
00:18:12,027 --> 00:18:13,927
See you later.
379
00:18:17,399 --> 00:18:19,199
Damn it!
380
00:18:26,008 --> 00:18:27,848
- Hello?
- It's me, I got your page, what's up?
381
00:18:27,876 --> 00:18:31,244
Nikki, oh, it's you,
I gotta talk to you.
382
00:18:31,313 --> 00:18:34,114
- Yeah, what's up, what?
- Yes, no, in person, okay?
383
00:18:34,182 --> 00:18:36,149
Um, where are you at?
384
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,420
You hear this kid? I'm telling you,
385
00:18:40,489 --> 00:18:42,989
this kid is the next Michael Jackson.
386
00:18:43,058 --> 00:18:44,891
Orson, you remember
when you used to tell me
387
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,459
that Little Foster Silvers
388
00:18:46,528 --> 00:18:48,061
was gonna be the next Michael Jackson?
389
00:18:49,431 --> 00:18:51,398
I remember when he said Jermaine Jackson
390
00:18:51,466 --> 00:18:53,667
would be the next Michael Jackson.
391
00:18:54,936 --> 00:18:56,576
You know what,
now that we're on the topic
392
00:18:56,638 --> 00:18:58,238
of great '70s music, Orson,
393
00:18:58,307 --> 00:19:01,941
you really oughta license
my Bob James masters.
394
00:19:02,010 --> 00:19:04,844
You got his late '70s albums, right?
I got all the early ones.
395
00:19:04,913 --> 00:19:06,746
We could put out a greatest hits CD.
396
00:19:06,815 --> 00:19:09,015
A million flat.
397
00:19:10,719 --> 00:19:13,053
Exactly what're you
doing these days, Juggy?
398
00:19:13,121 --> 00:19:14,921
Little of this, little of that.
399
00:19:16,825 --> 00:19:18,525
I'm working records for Mattie Taylor,
400
00:19:18,593 --> 00:19:19,726
that's what I'm doing these days.
401
00:19:19,795 --> 00:19:22,195
I'm gonna call your bet.
402
00:19:22,264 --> 00:19:27,334
And I'm gonna raise you a G.
403
00:19:30,072 --> 00:19:32,472
Mattie hiring you, what for?
404
00:19:32,541 --> 00:19:34,841
She's got a national staff now.
405
00:19:37,012 --> 00:19:39,579
She likes my personality.
406
00:19:39,648 --> 00:19:41,247
I knew you were bluffing.
407
00:19:41,316 --> 00:19:45,251
You cleaned me out here,
I gotta get back in the game.
408
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,954
750K for the masters.
409
00:19:48,023 --> 00:19:52,192
You didn't pay more than
500 grand for those masters.
410
00:19:53,662 --> 00:19:56,363
Okay, 600,000.
411
00:19:56,431 --> 00:19:58,631
That's a tidy sum for a day's work.
412
00:20:00,569 --> 00:20:01,901
What else you wanna get rid of?
413
00:20:01,970 --> 00:20:03,269
Nothing.
414
00:20:03,338 --> 00:20:04,871
I thought you were cashing out.
415
00:20:05,907 --> 00:20:07,907
Why would you think that?
416
00:20:09,244 --> 00:20:10,677
No reason.
417
00:20:16,151 --> 00:20:18,318
You got me looking like I'm
going to church or something.
418
00:20:18,387 --> 00:20:19,853
I'd love to got to that church.
419
00:20:19,921 --> 00:20:21,421
Chill out, man, you dope.
420
00:20:21,490 --> 00:20:23,690
The ladies gonna go crazy
when you step on the stage.
421
00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:25,592
Word up... fresh, man.
422
00:20:25,660 --> 00:20:27,794
Yeah, you could definitely catch it.
423
00:20:27,863 --> 00:20:29,896
- For real?
- Yeah...
424
00:20:36,304 --> 00:20:38,505
I don't know, babe, got me feeling like
425
00:20:38,573 --> 00:20:39,873
I gotta sing or something.
426
00:20:39,941 --> 00:20:41,608
I'm looking like a real herb right now.
427
00:20:41,676 --> 00:20:44,677
You right about that.
428
00:20:44,746 --> 00:20:46,179
Come on, kid, car's outside.
429
00:20:46,248 --> 00:20:49,582
You ain't performing
with no Keith Sweat, fuck that.
430
00:20:49,651 --> 00:20:51,217
All right, next band is gonna have you
431
00:20:51,286 --> 00:20:54,554
in some phony rayon shirt,
polka-dot pants like you Kwamé.
432
00:20:54,623 --> 00:20:55,855
Uh-uh, hells no, let's go.
433
00:20:55,924 --> 00:20:58,458
No, we ain't going nowhere
but on that stage.
434
00:21:02,130 --> 00:21:05,465
Our headliner was born
right here in Harlem, U.S.A.
435
00:21:05,534 --> 00:21:08,668
Although he's been known on
the nightclub circuit for years,
436
00:21:08,737 --> 00:21:11,538
he made his living on Wall Street.
437
00:21:11,606 --> 00:21:13,806
How's that sound?
438
00:21:14,743 --> 00:21:16,276
You wanna do it again?
439
00:21:17,913 --> 00:21:20,713
Yo, you had that security guard shook
like that white girl in Rita's.
440
00:21:20,782 --> 00:21:23,683
Whatever, man, where have you been?
441
00:21:23,752 --> 00:21:25,718
One of Ahm's guys
picks me up last night.
442
00:21:25,787 --> 00:21:26,986
I've been holed up with him.
443
00:21:27,055 --> 00:21:28,521
He picked you up to do what?
444
00:21:28,590 --> 00:21:29,489
Make music.
445
00:21:31,393 --> 00:21:33,193
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
446
00:21:33,261 --> 00:21:36,062
Bernard Masters from The Ride, New York.
447
00:21:36,131 --> 00:21:38,531
As the voice of the people
448
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,235
of New York City...
449
00:21:42,304 --> 00:21:45,872
I take great pride when
one of our own takes the stage.
450
00:21:50,245 --> 00:21:51,644
I love you!
451
00:21:51,713 --> 00:21:53,680
Whoo, I love you, too.
452
00:21:55,250 --> 00:21:57,484
I'd've been happy
to watch from the wings,
453
00:21:57,552 --> 00:21:59,586
but when my brother
called me personally,
454
00:21:59,654 --> 00:22:00,987
and he said, "Sampson,
455
00:22:01,056 --> 00:22:03,189
"the beautiful ladies in the house
456
00:22:03,258 --> 00:22:06,659
"need your special type of smooth
457
00:22:06,728 --> 00:22:09,395
to introduce my groove,"
458
00:22:09,464 --> 00:22:12,031
I had to come out.
459
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:15,268
Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored
460
00:22:15,337 --> 00:22:19,272
to give you the crooner, the lover,
461
00:22:19,341 --> 00:22:23,676
the one that makes you
feel like no other.
462
00:22:23,745 --> 00:22:27,413
Give it up for Mr. Keith Sweat.
463
00:22:47,335 --> 00:22:50,270
- I thought Sampson worked with PPS.
- He does.
464
00:22:50,338 --> 00:22:52,705
That research you did for Sampson,
465
00:22:52,774 --> 00:22:54,107
you still got it?
466
00:22:54,175 --> 00:22:55,708
Yeah.
467
00:22:55,777 --> 00:22:59,145
Meet me in my office,
first thing tomorrow morning.
468
00:22:59,214 --> 00:23:00,747
You're leaving?
469
00:23:00,815 --> 00:23:02,916
If I don't leave right now,
470
00:23:02,984 --> 00:23:05,051
I'll kill him.
471
00:23:09,691 --> 00:23:11,190
You ain't learned shit
472
00:23:11,259 --> 00:23:13,660
from the last time you tried
to pimp this man out
473
00:23:13,728 --> 00:23:15,852
for some New York swing bullshit, man.
474
00:23:15,938 --> 00:23:18,431
- Strategies...
- Yo, yo, hold on, I found my man, D...
475
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:21,067
- You ain't find...
- You're trying to ruin this man's image...
476
00:23:21,136 --> 00:23:22,936
- You found him?
- That's right, I found D.
477
00:23:23,004 --> 00:23:24,304
You couldn't find your own ass
478
00:23:24,372 --> 00:23:26,172
if you was wearing it on your damn face.
479
00:23:26,241 --> 00:23:28,107
What've you done for your man, D?
480
00:23:28,176 --> 00:23:30,376
The same shit I did for your
black ass back in the day...
481
00:23:30,445 --> 00:23:32,645
Oh, you steal his money?
You stole his money?
482
00:23:32,670 --> 00:23:34,876
I ain't steal no fucking money.
What, you got some proof?
483
00:23:34,957 --> 00:23:37,094
- You're a thief!
- Damita?
484
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,920
- Yo, what's up?
- You tell me.
485
00:23:40,989 --> 00:23:42,655
What is going on with Barry and Gordy?
486
00:23:42,724 --> 00:23:46,326
Girl, nothing, they're just business
partners. You know, they're passionate...
487
00:23:46,394 --> 00:23:49,228
Yeah, I do, cut the bullshit, Nikki.
488
00:23:49,297 --> 00:23:50,763
You know I know you.
489
00:23:50,832 --> 00:23:52,832
Okay, okay, but it's off-record.
490
00:23:52,901 --> 00:23:54,367
The hell it is, if Barry Fouray
491
00:23:54,436 --> 00:23:56,836
and Gordy Charlton are fighting,
that's a story.
492
00:23:56,905 --> 00:23:59,372
What if I can give you
an even bigger story?
493
00:23:59,441 --> 00:24:02,775
- I'm listening.
- Fouray is about to be a label.
494
00:24:02,844 --> 00:24:04,944
I could hook you up with
an interview with Barry.
495
00:24:05,013 --> 00:24:07,146
- That's it?
- That's a big deal.
496
00:24:07,215 --> 00:24:08,514
He won't meet with just anyone.
497
00:24:08,583 --> 00:24:10,683
All-access, behind the scenes.
498
00:24:10,752 --> 00:24:13,286
I'll do the best I can.
499
00:24:13,355 --> 00:24:14,988
Okay.
500
00:24:15,056 --> 00:24:17,890
But... you gotta sing the song.
501
00:24:17,959 --> 00:24:20,493
What? Are... you're kidding.
502
00:24:20,562 --> 00:24:22,128
- Come on.
- Guess I have a story
503
00:24:22,197 --> 00:24:24,030
about Barry Fouray and Gordy Charlton.
504
00:24:24,099 --> 00:24:26,599
Wait... wait, wait, wait.
505
00:24:28,903 --> 00:24:30,436
I can't believe I'm doing this.

I'd like to meet her.

I'd like that, too.
519
00:25:10,311 --> 00:25:12,345
- Ten minutes.
- Mm-hmm.
520
00:25:14,249 --> 00:25:16,182
Damn.
521
00:25:16,251 --> 00:25:17,517

00:26:04,432 --> 00:26:05,932
What's up?
523
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,667

and three years to 18.
527
00:26:13,641 --> 00:26:15,041
The way I think,
528
00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:17,543
Smoke started doing 19
after they knifed Disco.

at G-Dub, so, you know.
556
00:28:02,335 --> 00:28:04,101
Maybe you didn't try hard enough.
557
00:28:08,541 --> 00:28:10,608
So I guess I missed my shot, huh?
558
00:28:10,676 --> 00:28:13,244
You said it, I didn't.

Yeah, yeah, wait till I tell
Bernard about your little plan.

00:28:22,889 --> 00:28:25,289
Oh, should've known
you'd brought your ho.

to make me look wrong, huh?

00:28:32,331 --> 00:28:34,198
- Whatever.
- You a sucka.
565
00:28:34,267 --> 00:28:35,947
I didn't even know
you was that kind of sucka...
566
00:28:37,703 --> 00:28:39,370

all you have to do is call.

Well, here I am. Ringing in your ear.
610
00:30:50,369 --> 00:30:53,237
How about the Tonys, Labor Day Weekend?

How about the Garden?

00:30:55,107 --> 00:30:56,874
Barry's personal assistant.
613
00:30:56,942 --> 00:30:59,143
Haha, hey now, don't worry.
614
00:30:59,211 --> 00:31:00,544

616
00:31:02,915 --> 00:31:04,733
- with a Judas... Security!
- Hey, stop.
617
00:31:04,795 --> 00:31:06,561
Hey! She don't even have credentials.
618
00:31:06,639 --> 00:31:07,985
- Get her up outta here.
- Time to go, let's go, come on.
619
00:31:08,054 --> 00:31:09,887
Hey!
620
00:31:11,157 --> 00:31:12,157
She's with me.
621
00:31:12,191 --> 00:31:14,158
With you, Ms. Taylor?
622
00:31:25,971 --> 00:31:27,905
D Rome.
623
00:31:27,973 --> 00:31:29,573
That was a nice touch.
624
00:31:31,377 --> 00:31:33,644
- What's your name?
- Nikki Jones.
625
00:31:33,713 --> 00:31:35,512
Mattie Taylor.
626
00:31:35,581 --> 00:31:37,781
Would you like to join me
for a cocktail?
627
00:31:40,586 --> 00:31:42,753
So, what is it that you wanna do, Nikki?
628
00:31:42,822 --> 00:31:44,021
I wanna be in A&R.
629
00:31:44,090 --> 00:31:45,689
Oh, really, that's surprising.
630
00:31:45,758 --> 00:31:46,890
Mattie Taylor,
631
00:31:46,959 --> 00:31:48,492
it's very nice to see you here.
632
00:31:48,561 --> 00:31:50,094
And I see that you met my slave.
633
00:31:50,162 --> 00:31:51,829
Good to see you too, Barry.
634
00:31:51,897 --> 00:31:53,537
Listen, I wonder
if me and you could build
635
00:31:53,566 --> 00:31:55,232
on distribution for my new label.
636
00:31:55,301 --> 00:31:57,267
Oh, right, hip hop.
637
00:31:57,336 --> 00:31:59,436
Yeah, of course, what else?
638
00:31:59,505 --> 00:32:01,705
- What you got?
- I got what you need
639
00:32:01,774 --> 00:32:03,607
to get on board for distribution.
640
00:32:03,676 --> 00:32:07,211
All right, call my office on Monday,
we'll schedule something.
641
00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:10,381
That's great, I'll set it up, let's go.
642
00:32:10,449 --> 00:32:11,949
- Come on, come on.
- Barry.
643
00:32:12,017 --> 00:32:14,759
I need to use the ladies' room,
can I just meet you downstairs?
644
00:32:14,787 --> 00:32:16,954
Uh, no... no-no, meet us at Rita's.
645
00:32:17,022 --> 00:32:18,655
- We out of here.
- Got it.
646
00:32:20,126 --> 00:32:21,225
Ms. Taylor.
647
00:32:21,293 --> 00:32:22,760
It's Mattie.
648
00:32:22,828 --> 00:32:24,261
Mattie.
649
00:32:24,330 --> 00:32:26,630
About A&R, what was
so surprising about that?
650
00:32:26,699 --> 00:32:28,899
I don't know, just something about you.
651
00:32:28,968 --> 00:32:30,300
I don't get the sense
that you're the type
652
00:32:30,369 --> 00:32:32,002
to aim for the middle.
653
00:32:32,071 --> 00:32:33,337
Oh, I'm not.
654
00:32:33,406 --> 00:32:35,305
Hip hop is gonna take over
the music business.
655
00:32:35,374 --> 00:32:37,841
Fouray Records is gonna be a force.
656
00:32:37,910 --> 00:32:39,176
Loyal, aren't you?
657
00:32:39,245 --> 00:32:40,711
I try to be.
658
00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:42,179
That's good.
659
00:32:42,248 --> 00:32:43,647
It'll carry you far.
660
00:32:43,716 --> 00:32:45,649
As long as you have the right partners.
661
00:32:47,019 --> 00:32:50,788
Donald, meet Nikki Jones.
662
00:32:50,856 --> 00:32:52,990
It's nice to meet you.
663
00:33:13,807 --> 00:33:16,107

681
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:55,358
You know, we used to be
up on Marcy Av, blazing.
682
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:57,427
They had a little hole in the wall,
683
00:34:57,496 --> 00:34:59,062
right under the train.
684
00:34:59,131 --> 00:35:01,598
All the fine women, mm.
685
00:35:01,667 --> 00:35:03,400
That sounds dope.
686
00:35:03,468 --> 00:35:06,603
Yeah, it was that same club,
matter of fact,
687
00:35:06,672 --> 00:35:09,639
when I was dancing with
this fine, young lady.
688
00:35:09,708 --> 00:35:11,074
What was her name?
689
00:35:11,143 --> 00:35:12,676
Eh, don't make me lie.
690
00:35:14,046 --> 00:35:16,713

691
00:35:16,782 --> 00:35:18,427
- Reggie.
- Reggie?
692
00:35:18,451 --> 00:35:20,417
Reggie.
693
00:35:20,485 --> 00:35:22,552
Yeah, man, that was...
694
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:24,621
that was the first time
I ever saw a gun.
695
00:35:25,724 --> 00:35:28,758
And it was pointed right at my face.
696
00:35:28,827 --> 00:35:32,362
- What... What happened?
- Huh?
697
00:35:32,431 --> 00:35:34,497
- What happened?
- Oh, I got shot at.
698
00:35:34,566 --> 00:35:37,267
- What?!
- Yeah.
699
00:35:37,336 --> 00:35:39,502
Bullet missed me by less than an inch.
700
00:35:39,571 --> 00:35:41,805
Hit the wall behind me.
701
00:35:41,873 --> 00:35:44,808
And all I could think about was you.
702
00:35:46,378 --> 00:35:48,111
Me?
703
00:35:48,180 --> 00:35:49,412
When was this?
704
00:35:49,481 --> 00:35:50,814
A couple of months after you were born.
705
00:35:50,882 --> 00:35:53,049
Your mother was already gone.
706
00:35:53,118 --> 00:35:55,318
You could barely lift
that big-ass head of yours.
707
00:35:58,123 --> 00:35:59,723
And you...
708
00:35:59,791 --> 00:36:02,058
were gonna need your daddy.
709
00:36:04,296 --> 00:36:07,631
Look, son, I get it.
710
00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:09,633
You wanna be young,
do the music and all that.
711
00:36:09,701 --> 00:36:11,735
But you can't do nothing if you're dead.
712
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:17,040
Junior... go down south.
713
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:20,343
Got to your Aunt Adona's house.
714
00:36:33,859 --> 00:36:36,226
Couldn't find you after the show.
715
00:36:36,294 --> 00:36:38,128
Did you get my page?
716
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:39,629
You know, you shouldn't
take the train back
717
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:41,331
this late at night by yourself.
718
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,299
I took a car.
719
00:36:43,368 --> 00:36:44,868
Okay.
720
00:36:46,304 --> 00:36:48,672
Why are the lights off?
721
00:36:48,740 --> 00:36:51,041
I need to talk to you.
722
00:36:51,109 --> 00:36:52,642
With the lights off?
723
00:36:52,711 --> 00:36:56,179
I wanted to see what it felt like.
724
00:36:56,248 --> 00:36:57,614
To sit in the dark?
725
00:36:57,683 --> 00:36:58,782
To be you.
726
00:36:58,850 --> 00:37:00,450
Sitting here alone,
727
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:03,019
waiting for me to come home
so you could ask me about
728
00:37:03,088 --> 00:37:05,455
something or something I did or said
729
00:37:05,524 --> 00:37:07,257
that you don't think is right.
730
00:37:10,962 --> 00:37:13,263
What're we talking about, Nikki?
731
00:37:19,538 --> 00:37:21,771
Juggy wasn't home yesterday.
732
00:37:30,115 --> 00:37:31,614
I know.
733
00:37:31,683 --> 00:37:33,149
You know?
734
00:37:35,020 --> 00:37:40,290
Which means you called him
at his office phone.
735
00:37:40,358 --> 00:37:42,325
Which begs the question,
736
00:37:42,394 --> 00:37:44,327
how did you get his office number?
737
00:37:47,466 --> 00:37:48,631
And you're not gonna ask?
738
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:50,900
No.
739
00:37:50,969 --> 00:37:54,037
If I ask, you're gonna think
that I didn't believe you
740
00:37:54,106 --> 00:37:56,372
when you assured me
that you hadn't told Juggy
741
00:37:56,441 --> 00:37:57,841
that Sampson fired me.
742
00:37:57,909 --> 00:37:59,943
You're also probably gonna think that
743
00:38:00,011 --> 00:38:02,979
I concocted some theory
that you actually had
744
00:38:03,048 --> 00:38:05,181
talked to Juggy, that you actually had
745
00:38:05,250 --> 00:38:08,115
told him Sampson fired me,
and that he then gave you
746
00:38:08,216 --> 00:38:11,488
his number so you guys could talk
without me finding out about it.
747
00:38:14,426 --> 00:38:16,359
Some theory.
748
00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:22,365
The truth is, he's listed.
749
00:38:22,434 --> 00:38:23,833
You probably just...
750
00:38:23,902 --> 00:38:25,902
looked him up in the phone book.
751
00:38:29,708 --> 00:38:34,677
Look, I know that we're different.
752
00:38:36,047 --> 00:38:38,047
You bend the rules a little.
753
00:38:38,116 --> 00:38:39,649
I write 'em.
754
00:38:39,718 --> 00:38:41,317
I hate my father.
755
00:38:41,386 --> 00:38:44,220
You admire him.
756
00:38:44,289 --> 00:38:46,289
And yeah, there is
a part of me that is worried
757
00:38:46,358 --> 00:38:48,992
that there is a part of you
that is like him.
758
00:38:49,060 --> 00:38:52,395
But you're not, I know you're not.
759
00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:56,166
You would've told me if you were.
760
00:38:59,037 --> 00:39:01,838
I might be more like him
than you realize.
761
00:39:03,809 --> 00:39:06,876
So, then... you are.
762
00:39:11,082 --> 00:39:14,284
I'm not judging you anymore,
Nikki, I love you.
763
00:39:15,487 --> 00:39:17,520
I can't change that.
764
00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:19,722
I love you, too.
765
00:39:25,630 --> 00:39:27,463
Now, when you're ready,
766
00:39:27,532 --> 00:39:30,546
I am prepared to pretend
we had the loudest,
767
00:39:30,631 --> 00:39:33,590
longest, nastiest fight
we have ever had.
768
00:39:35,340 --> 00:39:37,040
Okay?
769
00:39:38,543 --> 00:39:40,510
But before then,
770
00:39:40,579 --> 00:39:42,045
I need to take a shower.
771
00:39:42,113 --> 00:39:44,781
I am so funky, I swear...
772
00:39:44,850 --> 00:39:46,807
staff at Ride has taken
773
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:48,706
some kind of revenge on my white ass...
774
00:39:48,784 --> 00:39:50,653
they're working me like a dog.
775
00:39:50,722 --> 00:39:52,822
Wait.
776
00:39:59,397 --> 00:40:01,164
I'm sorry, David.
777
00:40:01,233 --> 00:40:03,933
But I need you to put
your shirt back on.
778
00:40:14,457 --> 00:40:19,457
