1
00:00:00,934 --> 00:00:03,204
(rock music plays)

2
00:00:05,173 --> 00:00:07,075
MAN: Nothin' blows back
on the Mayans.

3
00:00:08,542 --> 00:00:10,178
(engine revs)

4
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,547
(dance music)

5
00:00:13,581 --> 00:00:16,016
ANNOUNCER: FX presents Pose.

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,855
(Blanca clears throat)

7
00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:25,559
All right, lady,
it looks like you're all set.

8
00:00:25,593 --> 00:00:27,595
(clears throat)

9
00:00:29,930 --> 00:00:32,200
Thank you.

10
00:00:34,535 --> 00:00:36,137
(coughing)

11
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:44,112
(door opens, shuts)

12
00:00:58,226 --> 00:01:01,329
I'm sorry, I don't think I have
you down for an appointment.

13
00:01:04,632 --> 00:01:07,067
I hear you take walk-ins.

14
00:01:14,408 --> 00:01:17,010
I missed you.

15
00:01:18,246 --> 00:01:20,448
I missed you, too.

16
00:01:24,285 --> 00:01:26,320
BLANCA:
Wait, so how long has it been?

17
00:01:26,354 --> 00:01:29,590
Eight and a half months.

18
00:01:29,623 --> 00:01:31,692
Damon's graduation.

19
00:01:34,295 --> 00:01:35,796
Wow.

20
00:01:35,829 --> 00:01:37,298
How's business?

21
00:01:37,331 --> 00:01:38,599
Better than ever.

22
00:01:38,632 --> 00:01:40,901
It may not have
the glamour of a storefront,

23
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:46,440
but it also don't have
the extra rent and in-insurance,

24
00:01:46,474 --> 00:01:49,243
and the hassle of that
wicked witch Frederica Norman.

25
00:01:49,277 --> 00:01:50,878
-(Pray Tell chuckles)
-Besides...

26
00:01:56,617 --> 00:02:00,621
...this house has felt empty
with all the children gone.

27
00:02:00,654 --> 00:02:02,590
Nothing more dangerous
than being left alone

28
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:03,657
with your own thoughts.

29
00:02:03,691 --> 00:02:07,127
No. All of them are doing good.

30
00:02:07,161 --> 00:02:10,198
Damon sent me a postcard
from Paris.

31
00:02:10,231 --> 00:02:12,200
(chuckles)

32
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:15,603
And he's having
the time of his life.

33
00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:17,137
And Angel?

34
00:02:17,171 --> 00:02:20,508
Angel and Papi are like
Lucy and Ricky.

35
00:02:20,541 --> 00:02:22,376
(laughs)

36
00:02:25,346 --> 00:02:26,847
How are you?

37
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,849
You still with that young one?

38
00:02:28,882 --> 00:02:32,353
(scoffs)
Ricky?

39
00:02:32,386 --> 00:02:35,122
(sighs):
Oh, yeah, we're-we're...

40
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:36,390
we're taking it slow.

41
00:02:36,424 --> 00:02:38,826
He moved in yet?

42
00:02:38,859 --> 00:02:42,663
Hell no.
(laughs)

43
00:02:42,696 --> 00:02:44,365
But he does have
his own set of keys,

44
00:02:44,398 --> 00:02:45,666
and he comes and goes
when he pleases,

45
00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:46,700
and that works for us.

46
00:02:46,734 --> 00:02:51,705
I give him wisdom,
I guess, and he...

47
00:02:51,739 --> 00:02:53,741
keeps me young.

48
00:02:53,774 --> 00:02:56,910
Well, is he keeping you moist?

49
00:02:56,944 --> 00:02:59,947
(laughs)
Yes, ma'am.

50
00:03:01,349 --> 00:03:04,452
The sex is fucking fantastic.

51
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:14,428
You know... that just because
your kids aren't here

52
00:03:14,462 --> 00:03:16,096
to walk the balls with you
doesn't mean

53
00:03:16,129 --> 00:03:18,499
you can't come to the balls.

54
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:21,001
The whole point of the balls
is to remind you

55
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:22,069
that you're not alone.

56
00:03:22,102 --> 00:03:24,305
I know.

57
00:03:32,112 --> 00:03:35,816
Just walking without my...
my children, though...

58
00:03:38,586 --> 00:03:40,588
...without my house...

59
00:03:46,294 --> 00:03:50,431
I just think that would be
giving the opposite effect.

60
00:03:53,767 --> 00:03:55,736
(coughing)

61
00:03:57,137 --> 00:03:59,973
Baby, when was the last time
you went to a doctor?

62
00:04:00,007 --> 00:04:02,376
(coughing)

63
00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:05,313
(monitor beeping)

64
00:04:05,346 --> 00:04:07,815
(woman speaking indistinctly
over P.A.)

65
00:04:11,452 --> 00:04:14,788
(groans)

66
00:04:14,822 --> 00:04:17,758
Hey.

67
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:19,827
You get a little sleep?

68
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:21,762
No.

69
00:04:24,465 --> 00:04:26,834
I was just thinking.

70
00:04:26,867 --> 00:04:29,303
About?

71
00:04:29,337 --> 00:04:32,840
I'm just sad
I'm going out this way.

72
00:04:32,873 --> 00:04:37,978
I'm sad for my children...
and my house.

73
00:04:45,853 --> 00:04:49,423
Can you go into my purse?
There's a little notebook.

74
00:04:49,457 --> 00:04:50,624
Yeah.

75
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:57,831
(exhales)

76
00:04:58,866 --> 00:04:59,900
What's this?

77
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:08,442
It's my will.

78
00:05:08,476 --> 00:05:10,210
I need you to make sure

79
00:05:10,243 --> 00:05:15,349
nobody fights over anything
when I'm gone.

80
00:05:15,383 --> 00:05:17,718
Death makes people
kind of crazy, you know?

81
00:05:20,921 --> 00:05:23,156
Can I see?

82
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:31,465
"My jewelry and my clothing
shall go to my daughter Angel.

83
00:05:31,499 --> 00:05:36,370
"My books, tape collection,
and boom box..."

84
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:41,709
"...to my brother Pray Tell.

85
00:05:41,742 --> 00:05:45,513
"My mother's cookbook shall go
to my son Damon.

86
00:05:45,546 --> 00:05:47,515
"That little Shake-N-Go wig
I wore the night we met

87
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:51,685
(laughing):
"shall go to my mother Elektra.

88
00:05:51,719 --> 00:05:55,489
"My salon supplies shall go
to my sister Lulu.

89
00:05:55,523 --> 00:05:57,525
"My furniture shall be donated
to anyone in need

90
00:05:57,558 --> 00:05:59,059
"from the ballroom.

91
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:03,931
And for my dearest Papi,
take care of Tippy."

92
00:06:03,964 --> 00:06:05,599
Tippy?
Who the fuck is Tippy?

93
00:06:05,633 --> 00:06:07,435
(chuckles)

94
00:06:07,468 --> 00:06:10,538
That's the puppy I was planning
on getting this summer.

95
00:06:10,571 --> 00:06:13,541
You better leave him
something real.

96
00:06:21,114 --> 00:06:24,885
To my little Papi,

97
00:06:24,918 --> 00:06:29,389
I leave with you
my life's journals.

98
00:06:29,423 --> 00:06:30,958
(chuckles)

99
00:06:30,991 --> 00:06:34,528
Use your hustling skills to...

100
00:06:34,562 --> 00:06:36,564
to write my life story.

101
00:06:36,597 --> 00:06:39,567
(sobs)

102
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,269
Don't let 'em forget me.

103
00:06:42,302 --> 00:06:44,538
You got to fight, Blanca.

104
00:06:44,572 --> 00:06:47,875
My whole life's been
a fight, Pray.

105
00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:50,377
I need a chance to know peace.

106
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:52,613
You shouldn't have to die
to know what peace feels like.

107
00:06:52,646 --> 00:06:54,582
(sniffles)

108
00:06:58,118 --> 00:06:59,386
What are you doing?

109
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:03,156
I am finding your address book,

110
00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:05,726
and I am gonna call every single
person in our family

111
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,428
to make sure that somebody's
right here by your side

112
00:07:08,462 --> 00:07:10,831
the entire time
that you're here.

113
00:07:13,634 --> 00:07:16,770
I'm fighting for you
this time, baby.

114
00:07:21,041 --> 00:07:23,010
(door opens)

115
00:07:23,043 --> 00:07:25,178
(footfalls approach)

116
00:07:25,212 --> 00:07:27,481
PRAY TELL:
The category is...

117
00:07:27,515 --> 00:07:31,018
Live...

118
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:33,420
Work...

119
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:37,057
Pose!

120
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:01,481
Girl, would you stop fussing
with the lights?

121
00:08:01,515 --> 00:08:03,016
You are not an electrician.

122
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:04,718
This ward is grim enough
as it is

123
00:08:04,752 --> 00:08:08,656
without wasting our beauty away
on bad fluorescent lighting.

124
00:08:08,689 --> 00:08:11,458
Maybe if I check the wattage,
I can get a bulb

125
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,961
that will cast an amber glow.

126
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:16,229
-Girl, you're gonna
get electrocuted.
-(laughter)

127
00:08:16,263 --> 00:08:18,832
I see you're giving me
the Red Door Spa treatment.

128
00:08:18,866 --> 00:08:20,534
Yeah.

129
00:08:20,568 --> 00:08:23,737
Miss Ford got you the cover
of Essence magazine yet?

130
00:08:23,771 --> 00:08:25,806
That would make the girls gag.

131
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,508
I haven't booked anything
for a couple of months now.

132
00:08:28,542 --> 00:08:30,010
Thank God I listened to Papi
and opened up

133
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:31,679
that savings account
a while back.

134
00:08:31,712 --> 00:08:33,681
But we'll be all right.
We staying afloat.

135
00:08:33,714 --> 00:08:36,483
It's the recession, things will
pick up by the summer.

136
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,652
-You'll see.
-PRAY TELL: Hey.

137
00:08:38,686 --> 00:08:40,588
No, no, no, turn back around.

138
00:08:40,621 --> 00:08:41,589
This ain't for you.

139
00:08:41,622 --> 00:08:44,191
I got you some sweet
and sour soup, Ma.

140
00:08:44,224 --> 00:08:45,693
PRAY TELL:
Mwah!

141
00:08:45,726 --> 00:08:48,428
These cheap bodega flowers
attract insects.

142
00:08:48,461 --> 00:08:51,398
Insects carry disease.
Blanca's ill enough.

143
00:08:51,431 --> 00:08:54,501
Will you calm your
bougie ass down, please?

144
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:56,670
You haven't walked a category
in months.

145
00:08:56,704 --> 00:08:57,905
You know what,
as a matter of fact,

146
00:08:57,938 --> 00:09:00,073
I ain't seen none of y'all
at the balls recently.

147
00:09:00,107 --> 00:09:01,675
I have better things to do
than to watch

148
00:09:01,709 --> 00:09:04,612
category after category
of boring butch queens.

149
00:09:04,645 --> 00:09:07,715
You-- The women always
take center stage.

150
00:09:07,748 --> 00:09:10,517
You have Face, you got Runway,
you got Realness.

151
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:12,352
And everybody comes
to see you all.

152
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:14,221
And never forget it.

153
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:17,357
We built ballroom, yet all we
have are three categories

154
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:19,593
and no rightful place
on the council.

155
00:09:19,627 --> 00:09:22,696
It's a boys club now,
run exclusively by you

156
00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:25,098
and the other male emcees.

157
00:09:25,132 --> 00:09:27,735
-That's right.
-That ain't right, Pray.
That ain't right.

158
00:09:27,768 --> 00:09:29,236
You don't know what it's like.

159
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:30,804
-(cheering)
-You put your best foot forward

160
00:09:30,838 --> 00:09:33,073
in your most coveted finery,
only to be met

161
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:34,742
with the glaring eyes of men.

162
00:09:34,775 --> 00:09:38,445
Serving us
Totem Pole Origami Realness.

163
00:09:38,478 --> 00:09:42,082
ELEKTRA:
Sitting on their perch,
squinting and inspecting

164
00:09:42,115 --> 00:09:43,150
and tallying.

165
00:09:43,183 --> 00:09:44,918
PRAY TELL:
Judges, your scores.

166
00:09:44,952 --> 00:09:46,553
Why do they have the right
to pass judgment

167
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:48,588
when they've never
walked a day in our heels?

168
00:09:48,622 --> 00:09:50,457
I didn't join ballroom
for a row of flaming homos

169
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:54,327
with no style
to look down on me.

170
00:09:54,361 --> 00:09:55,462
We're judged enough
by the outside world

171
00:09:55,495 --> 00:09:56,830
to be judged so harshly
by our own.

172
00:09:56,864 --> 00:09:58,398
LULU:
The balls are tired, anyways.

173
00:09:58,431 --> 00:10:00,467
You know, I used to roll
my eyes at Candy

174
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:02,402
when she went on and on
about how the girls

175
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:03,671
been pushed to the side.

176
00:10:03,704 --> 00:10:06,306
But as soon as "Vogue" hit,
who became stars, Pray?

177
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:07,808
The boys.

178
00:10:07,841 --> 00:10:11,745
Who learned how to dance on
ballroom floors that we built.

179
00:10:11,779 --> 00:10:14,114
(sighs)
Okay.

180
00:10:14,147 --> 00:10:15,816
Well, I think I have some stuff

181
00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:17,350
to talk to the council about.

182
00:10:17,384 --> 00:10:19,720
Damn skippy.

183
00:10:22,555 --> 00:10:24,958
MANHATTAN:
The children are finally
paying their dues on time.

184
00:10:24,992 --> 00:10:27,427
We have $5K in our savings.

185
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:29,296
We are officially
out of the red.

186
00:10:29,329 --> 00:10:30,798
-(laughs)
-Awesome.

187
00:10:30,831 --> 00:10:33,433
Let's hope it stays that way.
Anything else to report?

188
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:35,669
-No.
-I actually have
something to share.

189
00:10:35,703 --> 00:10:39,139
-Your hemorrhoids are back.
-(laughter)

190
00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:41,942
Funny, bitch,
but I'm being serious.

191
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:43,643
So, it's come to my attention

192
00:10:43,677 --> 00:10:46,780
that the women of the ballroom
are feeling judged.

193
00:10:46,814 --> 00:10:48,716
Oh, please, if you don't want
to be judged, don't walk.

194
00:10:48,749 --> 00:10:50,617
-Yeah.
-I hear you.

195
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,219
But we got to be honest.

196
00:10:52,252 --> 00:10:56,156
All of the emcees are men,
and recently it's mostly men

197
00:10:56,189 --> 00:10:57,691
that are walking the categories.

198
00:10:57,725 --> 00:10:59,893
-Well, that's not our fault.
-But it's our responsibility.

199
00:10:59,927 --> 00:11:01,729
Well, every year we announce
Mother of the Year.

200
00:11:01,762 --> 00:11:02,896
What else would a bitch want?

201
00:11:02,930 --> 00:11:04,732
You know that's not enough.

202
00:11:04,765 --> 00:11:06,867
I know what it feels like
to be judged.

203
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:08,969
I went from being called
a sissy

204
00:11:09,002 --> 00:11:10,971
to a girl to a fag.

205
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,840
So what do you suggest
that we do?

206
00:11:12,873 --> 00:11:14,574
We have to show our support
and solidarity.

207
00:11:14,607 --> 00:11:15,709
Well, any ideas on how?

208
00:11:15,743 --> 00:11:17,845
(clicks tongue)

209
00:11:17,878 --> 00:11:19,212
We got to figure that out.

210
00:11:19,246 --> 00:11:21,648
Mm-hmm.

211
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:23,917
(gasps)
I got it.

212
00:11:23,951 --> 00:11:26,053
We pull a stunt, y'all.

213
00:11:26,086 --> 00:11:27,054
We pull a stunt.

214
00:11:27,087 --> 00:11:30,824
We, the council, we should walk

215
00:11:30,858 --> 00:11:34,027
Butch Queen First Time
Up in Drags.

216
00:11:34,061 --> 00:11:37,230
-Ooh, yes!
-Oh, girl, no.
No, I'm not shaving my legs.

217
00:11:37,264 --> 00:11:40,868
Listen, Sasquatch, you need
to invest in some Nair

218
00:11:40,901 --> 00:11:44,071
and prep your meaty tuck,
because you're walking.

219
00:11:44,104 --> 00:11:45,238
It's mighty meaty.

220
00:11:45,272 --> 00:11:46,573
-Ew!
-Yuck!

221
00:11:46,606 --> 00:11:48,441
(laughter)

222
00:11:48,475 --> 00:11:50,844
Ew!

223
00:11:50,878 --> 00:11:53,046
-So nasty.
-Nasty.

224
00:11:54,815 --> 00:11:56,183
You're quiet.

225
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:57,785
What you think?

226
00:11:57,818 --> 00:12:00,754
Aren't we just gonna look
like a bunch of men in wigs?

227
00:12:00,788 --> 00:12:03,523
I don't want to trivialize
what these women go through,

228
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:05,959
how they live, who they are.

229
00:12:05,993 --> 00:12:09,629
It will humble us
and create empathy.

230
00:12:09,662 --> 00:12:13,600
This will help men realize
the pressures we put on women.

231
00:12:13,633 --> 00:12:14,902
It's about sisterhood.

232
00:12:14,935 --> 00:12:16,436
It's about solidarity,

233
00:12:16,469 --> 00:12:17,771
and if I can shave,
you can wear a wig.

234
00:12:17,805 --> 00:12:19,106
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.

235
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:20,808
-So get over yourself, bitch.
-Mm-hmm.

236
00:12:20,841 --> 00:12:23,811
-* And pass the motion, bitch *
-Oh.

237
00:12:23,844 --> 00:12:26,814
-* Pass the motion, bitch *
-Ah.

238
00:12:26,847 --> 00:12:28,816
-* Pass the motion, bitch *
-* Break it down, uh *

239
00:12:28,849 --> 00:12:31,318
-* Pass the motion, bitch *
-* Pass it, pass it *

240
00:12:31,351 --> 00:12:34,988
-* Pass the motion, bitch. *
-(laughter)

241
00:12:35,022 --> 00:12:36,957
-Motion passed!
-(cheering, applause)

242
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:39,960
Yes. That was the beat.

243
00:12:41,494 --> 00:12:43,496
(elevator bell dings)

244
00:12:45,298 --> 00:12:46,834
(mouths)

245
00:12:46,867 --> 00:12:49,837
DANNY:
Oh, shit.

246
00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:52,840
-Hi. Is Miss Ford in here?
-Uh, yeah, she's just,

247
00:12:52,873 --> 00:12:55,242
-um, let me, let me just, uh...
-Great. Sorry...

248
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:56,743
(indistinct chatter)

249
00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:58,745
-Sorry.
-MISS FORD: Danny.

250
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:00,080
Will you escort Carol and Joanna

251
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:01,849
to the conference room
for some tea?

252
00:13:01,882 --> 00:13:03,884
I'll join you shortly.

253
00:13:06,486 --> 00:13:08,889
(quietly):
I'm sorry.

254
00:13:11,324 --> 00:13:14,995
Miss Ford, you haven't called me
in-in-in, in weeks.

255
00:13:15,028 --> 00:13:18,498
I didn't want to call
till I had all the information.

256
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:19,933
Well, what information?

257
00:13:19,967 --> 00:13:25,038
Someone has taken it upon
themselves to tell your story.

258
00:13:25,072 --> 00:13:28,876
Angel, the vibe
is very Sophia Loren.

259
00:13:28,909 --> 00:13:31,778
Sultry, mysterious.

260
00:13:31,811 --> 00:13:34,281
It's just a pantyhose campaign.
Don't overthink it.

261
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:35,983
(chuckles softly)

262
00:13:36,016 --> 00:13:39,386
-I am a huge fan.
-Thank you.

263
00:13:39,419 --> 00:13:41,989
When you used to walk realness,

264
00:13:42,022 --> 00:13:45,292
oh, the children gagged.

265
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,327
I knew you was going someplace.

266
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,362
Now look at you.

267
00:14:04,444 --> 00:14:06,413
(whispering indistinctly)

268
00:14:06,446 --> 00:14:08,215
MISS FORD:
I got a call from set.

269
00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:10,050
The creative director
accused me

270
00:14:10,083 --> 00:14:12,585
of pulling a publicity stunt
on her dime.

271
00:14:12,619 --> 00:14:14,387
I didn't know
what she was talking about.

272
00:14:14,421 --> 00:14:19,326
She said, "I asked for a girl,
not a drag queen."

273
00:14:19,359 --> 00:14:22,996
I swore to her these were lies
meant to tarnish the Ford Agency

274
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:26,033
and diminish your stardom.

275
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:36,876
But word has spread.

276
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,784
-Everyone has pulled
your contracts.
-(crying): No.

277
00:14:44,817 --> 00:14:49,389
They're claiming
misrepresentation, fraud.

278
00:14:49,422 --> 00:14:52,960
I'm not a fraud.
You think I'm a fraud?

279
00:14:52,993 --> 00:14:54,361
No.

280
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:57,197
Look at me. Angel.

281
00:14:57,230 --> 00:15:00,033
You came to me as you are.

282
00:15:00,067 --> 00:15:01,868
But the world isn't ready yet.

283
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:05,605
No. No.

284
00:15:05,638 --> 00:15:07,674
(moans, crying)

285
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:17,650
(keys jangle)

286
00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:29,096
Uh-oh. I see you got happy hour
going on without your man.

287
00:15:29,129 --> 00:15:31,131
I'm-a join you.

288
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:35,535
(cap clatters)

289
00:15:39,706 --> 00:15:41,441
What's going on?

290
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:43,143
(Angel sniffles)

291
00:15:45,145 --> 00:15:47,114
-I saw Miss Ford today.
-Yeah?

292
00:15:47,147 --> 00:15:49,182
-Mm-hmm.
-She got some work for you?

293
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:56,156
Ain't gonna be
no more work, Papi.

294
00:15:56,189 --> 00:15:57,757
-What you mean?
-They found out.

295
00:15:57,790 --> 00:16:01,161
(sniffling)

296
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:03,263
Everybody knows my T.

297
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,298
Mm.

298
00:16:09,002 --> 00:16:11,304
There was some boy
from ballroom that...

299
00:16:11,338 --> 00:16:13,940
that worked on one of my shoots
and he ran his mouth.

300
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,275
And now the whole
fashion industry...

301
00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:18,545
(sniffles)
thinks I'm a fake.

302
00:16:22,582 --> 00:16:25,052
They pulled my contracts.

303
00:16:25,085 --> 00:16:27,554
-I'm done, Papi.
-Nah, baby girl.
You just got in the game.

304
00:16:27,587 --> 00:16:29,956
You're 24, you got at least ten
more years left in the industry.

305
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:31,991
Papi.

306
00:16:35,395 --> 00:16:38,031
I'm a transsexual.

307
00:16:38,065 --> 00:16:39,999
I wasn't supposed
to last one day,

308
00:16:40,033 --> 00:16:43,170
let-let alone one whole year,
working as a model.

309
00:16:43,203 --> 00:16:46,039
The whole world thinks
we ain't nothing but freaks.

310
00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:51,711
We're supposed to be lurking
in the shadows somewhere.

311
00:16:51,744 --> 00:16:54,147
And if anybody's looking at us,
they laughing.

312
00:16:54,181 --> 00:16:57,184
-They don't want to see us.
-Hey.

313
00:16:57,217 --> 00:16:59,752
I do.

314
00:16:59,786 --> 00:17:01,521
You're a star.

315
00:17:02,789 --> 00:17:04,824
Ain't-- I don't, I don't care

316
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:07,160
what other people think
or say about you, Angel.

317
00:17:07,194 --> 00:17:10,730
You supposed to be seen
by this world.

318
00:17:10,763 --> 00:17:12,232
It ain't over, trust me.

319
00:17:12,265 --> 00:17:15,302
-Yes, it is, Pap...
-Baby.

320
00:17:16,803 --> 00:17:19,038
Come here. Come here.

321
00:17:19,072 --> 00:17:21,774
Come here. Come here. Come here.

322
00:17:21,808 --> 00:17:24,043
It's okay. It's okay.

323
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:29,282
It ain't over.

324
00:17:29,316 --> 00:17:32,952
Trust me, I got you.

325
00:17:32,985 --> 00:17:35,155
I got you.

326
00:17:43,463 --> 00:17:45,432
(inhaling, exhaling)

327
00:17:48,601 --> 00:17:50,103
(inhales deeply)

328
00:17:50,137 --> 00:17:52,139
(wheezing exhale)

329
00:17:55,175 --> 00:17:57,377
You hear that? No cough.

330
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:59,146
You may not be coughing,

331
00:17:59,179 --> 00:18:00,813
but there's still
an infection in there.

332
00:18:00,847 --> 00:18:04,151
How long until this thing
clears up and I can go home?

333
00:18:04,184 --> 00:18:05,918
(sighs)

334
00:18:07,187 --> 00:18:10,457
Well, maybe a...
at least another week.

335
00:18:11,491 --> 00:18:15,495
Judy... be real with me.

336
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:20,099
How much time you think
I really got left?

337
00:18:23,503 --> 00:18:27,006
(sighs)
There's no way of knowing.

338
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:29,776
AIDS is so unpredictable.

339
00:18:29,809 --> 00:18:31,978
Depends how well
you take care of yourself,

340
00:18:32,011 --> 00:18:33,446
and your surroundings.

341
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,114
Do you think the chemicals
from my salon

342
00:18:35,148 --> 00:18:37,016
had something to do
with me getting pneumonia?

343
00:18:37,049 --> 00:18:38,985
They sure didn't help.

344
00:18:39,018 --> 00:18:44,291
You might want to reconsider
your trade, maybe even retiring.

345
00:18:44,324 --> 00:18:47,260
With your low T cell count,
you'll qualify for a disability.

346
00:18:47,294 --> 00:18:48,795
Disability?

347
00:18:48,828 --> 00:18:50,830
(exhales)

348
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:55,302
Sweetheart,
your body's the boss now,

349
00:18:55,335 --> 00:18:57,604
and you have to do
what it tells you,

350
00:18:57,637 --> 00:18:59,872
not necessarily
what you want to do.

351
00:18:59,906 --> 00:19:03,176
I'm only 30 years old.

352
00:19:03,210 --> 00:19:06,179
What kind of life is that?

353
00:19:09,182 --> 00:19:11,218
Sweetie, I know this isn't easy.

354
00:19:11,251 --> 00:19:13,720
It ain't never been easy
for a girl like me.

355
00:19:13,753 --> 00:19:15,655
I don't know why I fooled myself
into thinking

356
00:19:15,688 --> 00:19:17,624
that if I fought hard

357
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:23,129
and stayed... positive
and did right by people,

358
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:25,432
I would be the one
whose life was spared.

359
00:19:27,367 --> 00:19:32,672
Maybe my body is telling me
I should just stop.

360
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:42,249
(over TV):
I'm so proud
of my little one and only.

361
00:19:42,282 --> 00:19:44,984
She came up with our prom theme
all by herself.

362
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:46,319
You go ahead and tell him,
honey.

LIL PAPI:
Yoo-hoo! Hey.

365
00:19:50,357 --> 00:19:51,424
-Baby.
-That's great.

366
00:19:51,458 --> 00:19:53,092
It's very hot right now.

367
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:55,895
-Yeah...
-Uh, yo! Wha-- can you relax?

368
00:19:55,928 --> 00:19:58,431
Can you take it down
a few million notches?

369
00:19:58,465 --> 00:20:00,333
-Nah, I'm gonna take it up
a few levels.
-Oh, my God.

370
00:20:00,367 --> 00:20:01,868
Look at this.

371
00:20:01,901 --> 00:20:04,704
"Esteban Martinez,

372
00:20:04,737 --> 00:20:08,908
"Talent Manager Extraordinaire.

373
00:20:08,941 --> 00:20:12,879
Models, actresses,
singers, dancers."

374
00:20:12,912 --> 00:20:14,281
Hmm.

375
00:20:14,314 --> 00:20:16,583
-Hmm.
-So you're trying
to be a manager now?

376
00:20:16,616 --> 00:20:18,518
You know how good
I look after you.

377
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:21,788
Y-Yeah, I know, but what jobs
have you booked me?

378
00:20:24,324 --> 00:20:27,294
First of all, managing ain't
just about booking jobs.

379
00:20:27,327 --> 00:20:30,297
-So then, what is it about?
-Second of all,

380
00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:32,699
I got a Rolodex full of
modern photographer assistants

381
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:35,702
-and junior people
from every job you ever been on.
-What?

382
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:38,371
They're moving up, and we're
gonna be right there with 'em.

383
00:20:38,405 --> 00:20:41,474
But so much of-of-of managing
is making sure

384
00:20:41,508 --> 00:20:44,110
your talent feels
taken care of, confident,

385
00:20:44,143 --> 00:20:45,778
and picking them up
when they need it.

386
00:20:45,812 --> 00:20:47,547
-That's my specialty.
-I know it is,

387
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:49,215
but ain't none of these models

388
00:20:49,248 --> 00:20:51,217
gonna want to work
with a Dominican from the hood.

389
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:54,421
I don't want to work with them.

390
00:20:54,454 --> 00:20:57,156
I want to work with girls
like you, girls from the scene.

391
00:20:57,189 --> 00:21:00,226
All the neglected but beautiful
members of society.

392
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:03,630
I don't want anyone
to get hurt the way you did.

393
00:21:03,663 --> 00:21:05,732
Aw.

394
00:21:05,765 --> 00:21:07,500
Babe.

395
00:21:07,534 --> 00:21:10,637
You're too sweet for this world.

396
00:21:10,670 --> 00:21:12,439
But you know
what happened to me.

397
00:21:12,472 --> 00:21:14,173
I'm telling you, don't bother.

398
00:21:14,206 --> 00:21:16,643
Don't nobody want us,
don't nobody want to see us,

399
00:21:16,676 --> 00:21:19,045
don't nobody want nothing
to do with us.

400
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:21,848
All right.

401
00:21:23,383 --> 00:21:25,518
-Just watch me.
-Mm.

402
00:21:25,552 --> 00:21:28,355
Yeah, so that is the story.
Look, I'm-I'm starting an agency

403
00:21:28,388 --> 00:21:31,190
-and I'm looking for girls.
-GIRL: I already got a pimp.

404
00:21:31,223 --> 00:21:32,825
And if he sees you trying
to steal me away,

405
00:21:32,859 --> 00:21:34,093
he'll beat your ass.

406
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:36,429
Well, good news, I'm not a pimp.

407
00:21:36,463 --> 00:21:38,465
I'm a talent manager.

408
00:21:38,498 --> 00:21:39,966
My goal is to have
my own company

409
00:21:39,999 --> 00:21:41,434
with managers working for me,

410
00:21:41,468 --> 00:21:43,470
like my hero John Casablancas.

411
00:21:43,503 --> 00:21:45,472
I could get you real,
legit jobs.

412
00:21:45,505 --> 00:21:47,807
I did some modeling
for a porno mag once.

413

00:21:52,812 --> 00:21:55,482
-I can see it.
-Me, too. That's what
I'm talking about.

416
00:21:55,515 --> 00:21:58,284
Elektra, I just need
one girl to say yeah.

417
00:21:58,317 --> 00:22:00,319
Help me show these girls
I'm for real.

418
00:22:00,353 --> 00:22:02,021
JAZMINE:
Don't you represent Angel?

419
00:22:02,054 --> 00:22:05,224
-Mm-hmm.
-How are you gonna do right
by both of us?

420
00:22:05,257 --> 00:22:06,826
What's she gonna say
when I start

421
00:22:06,859 --> 00:22:08,327
booking more jobs than her?

422
00:22:08,361 --> 00:22:09,862
You're a charming boy,
and you've got a silver tongue

423
00:22:09,896 --> 00:22:11,631
with plenty of ambition.

424
00:22:11,664 --> 00:22:13,800
But look no further than your
recently-clocked girlfriend

425
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:15,301
to know that you may as well
be looking to

426
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:16,703
train the girls
to be astronauts.

427
00:22:16,736 --> 00:22:19,506
-You know I'm better looking.
-Well...

428
00:22:19,539 --> 00:22:22,008
I-I wouldn't say that.
Y'all just different types.

429
00:22:22,041 --> 00:22:24,010
You want to be my manager
and you think another girl

430
00:22:24,043 --> 00:22:25,678
is prettier than me?

431
00:22:25,712 --> 00:22:27,580
(chuckles softly)

432
00:22:27,614 --> 00:22:28,915

-Right. Cool.

-(scoffs)
-Child...

435
00:22:31,451 --> 00:22:33,085
You ain't got to throw 'em.

ELEKTRA:
Try selling something
that people actually want,

437
00:22:35,688 --> 00:22:38,257

cook their meals,

We are not supposed

if I have anything
to feel bad about at all,

472
00:24:19,191 --> 00:24:21,828
is that I ended
another woman's dreams.

For that,
I will proudly serve time.

474

But I will not be penalized
for having a dream of my own

-None of your business.

00:26:58,685 --> 00:27:00,820
(sighs) My darling Lemar.

522
00:27:00,853 --> 00:27:02,121
* Boogie with you... *

523
00:27:02,154 --> 00:27:04,156
You always make Mother proud.

524
00:27:04,190 --> 00:27:05,692
I have no notes.

525
00:27:05,725 --> 00:27:08,761
* My-my-my-my-my
boogie shoes... *

526
00:27:08,795 --> 00:27:11,698
Cubby, your walk is impeccable.

527
00:27:12,999 --> 00:27:15,868
Now fix your face.
You shouldn't look constipated.

528
00:27:15,902 --> 00:27:17,336
Good, Ricky.

529
00:27:17,369 --> 00:27:19,305
Push your shoulders back.

530
00:27:19,338 --> 00:27:21,007
Yes.

531
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,976
Now lengthen your neck.

532
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:28,715
* I want to do it
till the sun comes up *

533
00:27:28,748 --> 00:27:32,018
* Oh, yeah, uh-huh *

534
00:27:32,051 --> 00:27:36,355
* I want to do it till
I can't get enough... *

535
00:27:36,388 --> 00:27:38,725
Oh, Pray Tell.
Do you not carry

536
00:27:38,758 --> 00:27:41,694
a single graceful bone
in your body?

537
00:27:41,728 --> 00:27:43,029
Lean back a little.

538
00:27:43,062 --> 00:27:44,731
These heels are too fucking high

539
00:27:44,764 --> 00:27:47,366
for me to be concerned
about posture.

540
00:27:47,399 --> 00:27:48,835
I am in six-inch heels.

541
00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:50,536
You're in the sort of heel
I wear when I'm asleep

542
00:27:50,569 --> 00:27:52,038
or suffering
from food poisoning.

543
00:27:52,071 --> 00:27:53,906
Take tinier steps.

544
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:57,143
I can't. Maybe...
maybe if the heel was wider

545
00:27:57,176 --> 00:27:59,178
or-or shorter, something
to hold my weight better.

546
00:27:59,211 --> 00:28:01,748
Mother, just chop her already.

547
00:28:01,781 --> 00:28:03,750
You know what?
Shut your skinny ass up.

548
00:28:03,783 --> 00:28:06,385
Pray Tell, if your heels
were any wider,

549
00:28:06,418 --> 00:28:09,388
you would be in clogs.
Aren't you the one always

550
00:28:09,421 --> 00:28:12,491
reading the girls for wearing
anything less than four inches?

551
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:15,061
She does have a point.

552
00:28:15,094 --> 00:28:16,195
You want to try mine, babe?

553
00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:18,765
ELEKTRA:
No. Pray needs to try harder.

554
00:28:18,798 --> 00:28:22,735
I am not the one that came up
with this idea, you did.

555
00:28:22,769 --> 00:28:25,037
You wanted to know
how it feels to be us,

556
00:28:25,071 --> 00:28:27,406
to see what we go through.

557
00:28:27,439 --> 00:28:31,043
Now take the damn critique
and try harder next time.

558
00:28:32,078 --> 00:28:34,113
You know...

559
00:28:35,214 --> 00:28:37,083
I don't have time for this shit.

560
00:28:37,116 --> 00:28:38,851
Come on, Pray. Just do it.

561
00:28:38,885 --> 00:28:39,886
Wh-Where you going?

562
00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:42,454
-I am not a woman.
-Obviously.

563
00:28:44,623 --> 00:28:46,725
For someone who ain't a woman,

564
00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:49,028
she sure acting
like she's on the rag.

565
00:28:49,061 --> 00:28:51,097
-(laughs)
-You know, boy,
you always got...

566
00:28:51,130 --> 00:28:52,531
ELEKTRA:
Enough cackling.

567
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:54,100
Back to your ones, hyenas.

568
00:28:56,435 --> 00:28:57,837
* Hey, you. *

569
00:29:03,910 --> 00:29:05,444
Hey.

570
00:29:05,477 --> 00:29:07,446
If you're coming out here
to have a heart-to-heart,

571
00:29:07,479 --> 00:29:09,782
you can just take your ass
right back inside.

572
00:29:09,816 --> 00:29:11,918
Baby...

573
00:29:11,951 --> 00:29:14,253
I'll lay it on thick, then.

574
00:29:14,286 --> 00:29:16,222
You need to practice
what you preach.

575
00:29:16,255 --> 00:29:18,124
-Who are you talking to?
-You.

576
00:29:18,157 --> 00:29:20,226
Aren't you the one who told me
I needed to...

577
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:22,128
walk with my head held high,

578
00:29:22,161 --> 00:29:24,931
that I shouldn't have any shame
about being positive?

579
00:29:24,964 --> 00:29:26,765
I don't have any shame

580
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:28,767
-about my status.
-Yeah, but you are ashamed

581
00:29:28,801 --> 00:29:30,903
of expressing your femininity.

582
00:29:30,937 --> 00:29:33,339
You don't know
what you're talking about.

583
00:29:33,372 --> 00:29:35,374
Actually, I do.

584
00:29:36,876 --> 00:29:39,778
You know, the first time
I danced Vogue femme,

585
00:29:39,812 --> 00:29:43,449
it was scary because
I was so used to being praised

586
00:29:43,482 --> 00:29:45,952
for my masculinity.

587
00:29:45,985 --> 00:29:48,687
You know, I was afraid of...

588
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,957
showing a different side.

589
00:29:50,990 --> 00:29:54,160
But shit, sometimes I want
to queen out, too.

590
00:29:54,193 --> 00:29:56,963
Then I realized
I could be butch...

591
00:29:58,965 --> 00:30:01,200
...and femme at the same time.

592
00:30:04,203 --> 00:30:07,874
My father, he...
(clears throat)

593
00:30:07,907 --> 00:30:09,175
He used to tell everybody,

594
00:30:09,208 --> 00:30:11,878
my mom and my aunts
and everybody,

595
00:30:11,911 --> 00:30:14,146
"That boy's too soft."

596
00:30:16,182 --> 00:30:19,151
He hated my sissy ass.

597
00:30:20,152 --> 00:30:22,955
He would just walk past me

598
00:30:22,989 --> 00:30:25,657
and push me to the ground.

599
00:30:26,725 --> 00:30:28,861
And then the pushes
became slaps,

600
00:30:28,895 --> 00:30:31,697
and the slaps became punches.

601
00:30:31,730 --> 00:30:33,832
He was determined

602
00:30:33,866 --> 00:30:36,402
he was just gonna beat the man
into me.

603
00:30:36,435 --> 00:30:39,438
His son
wasn't gonna be no faggot.

604
00:30:43,442 --> 00:30:45,444
(exhales)

605
00:30:58,057 --> 00:31:01,060
I'm sorry that happened to you.

606
00:31:05,064 --> 00:31:07,066
But you got to let that go.

607
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:13,872
It's time for you
to embrace all of you.

608
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:19,078
(sniffles)
Yeah.

609
00:31:27,386 --> 00:31:29,888
Well, looks like Daddy's
not the only one

610
00:31:29,922 --> 00:31:33,625
-serving wisdom
these days, is she?
-(chuckles)

611
00:31:33,659 --> 00:31:36,428
-No, she's not, honey.
-(laughing)

612
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:46,072
Well, it's funny you ask,

613
00:31:46,105 --> 00:31:49,208
'cause I was actually gonna call
my company Fidelity.

614
00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:51,944
There used to be this drag queen
named Fidelity Free.

615
00:31:51,978 --> 00:31:55,647
(chuckles): And, uh, I asked her
what fidelity meant.

616
00:31:55,681 --> 00:31:58,150
She said loyalty
and faithfulness.

617
00:31:58,184 --> 00:32:01,420
And those are the things I think
make me special as a manager.

618
00:32:02,454 --> 00:32:05,124
And th-there was the bank,

619
00:32:05,157 --> 00:32:07,126
you know, or the...
or which business was it?

620
00:32:07,159 --> 00:32:09,795
-Yeah.
-That had the same, you know,
the same name, so...

621
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:12,464
Yeah, I-I don't want to deal
with those copyright issues.

622
00:32:12,498 --> 00:32:14,633
But the name still stands,
just on the inside.

623
00:32:14,666 --> 00:32:17,436
Look, I-I signed two girls
from the balls besides Angel,

624
00:32:17,469 --> 00:32:19,238
and I would kill or die
for them.

625
00:32:19,271 --> 00:32:21,073
If they wanted a job,
I got no shame.

626
00:32:21,107 --> 00:32:23,109
I'll go knock on somebody's door
while they're eating dinner

627
00:32:23,142 --> 00:32:24,676
just to tell them,
"Hire one of my girls."

628
00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:27,213
Well, I would not recommend
that strategy.

629
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,916
You have a wonderful style,

630
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:32,251
but you're living in a fantasy.

631
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:34,253
You saw what happened to Angel.

632
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:37,089
The world is still prejudiced.

633
00:32:37,123 --> 00:32:40,759
There are fashion designers
and editors in the closet

634
00:32:40,792 --> 00:32:44,163
-for fear of being ostracized.
-That's cool, though.

635
00:32:44,196 --> 00:32:45,631
All my models are straight.

636
00:32:45,664 --> 00:32:46,932
What about Tula?

637
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,467
She got clocked
by that reporter, what,

638
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:49,535
about ten years ago?

639
00:32:49,568 --> 00:32:50,836
There was all kinds of stories
about her

640
00:32:50,869 --> 00:32:52,104
but she was still in Playboy.

641
00:32:52,138 --> 00:32:55,041
And she was booking all kinds of
liquor campaigns and everything.

642
00:32:55,074 --> 00:32:56,642
Yeah, remember,
we saw her on Arsenio.

643
00:32:56,675 --> 00:32:59,045
-Exactly.
-That's one example.

644
00:32:59,078 --> 00:33:00,346
In the UK.

645
00:33:00,379 --> 00:33:03,115
Yeah, but Tula's
changing the game, Miss Ford.

646
00:33:03,149 --> 00:33:05,151
I don't understand
what you want me to do.

647
00:33:05,184 --> 00:33:07,153
Take me under your wing.

648
00:33:08,587 --> 00:33:11,523
Let me be a business
inside your business.

649
00:33:11,557 --> 00:33:13,892
'Cause when I come calling...

650
00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:19,298
...and I say you got my back,

651
00:33:19,331 --> 00:33:22,301
I'm not no asshole
off the street no more.

652
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:24,570
I'm with Miss Ford.

653
00:33:24,603 --> 00:33:26,272
I'm real.

654
00:33:28,907 --> 00:33:31,377
The world don't change.

655
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:33,612
People change it.

656
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:40,252
This business is brimming

657
00:33:40,286 --> 00:33:43,089
with beautiful girls
and ambitious men,

658
00:33:43,122 --> 00:33:46,358
but it's lacking in fidelity.

659
00:33:50,762 --> 00:33:52,731
Okay.

660
00:33:52,764 --> 00:33:55,501
I'll give you a cubicle,
a phone line

661
00:33:55,534 --> 00:33:57,769
and my watchful eye. That's it.

662
00:33:57,803 --> 00:34:00,372
But if you book a job
in the next two weeks,

663
00:34:00,406 --> 00:34:04,510
I will consider an arrangement
between the Ford Agency

664
00:34:04,543 --> 00:34:07,946
and Esteban Martinez Talent.

665
00:34:07,979 --> 00:34:11,117
-Deal?
-Deal.

666
00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:14,220
But no knocking
on people's doors

667
00:34:14,253 --> 00:34:15,854
-when they're having dinner.
-Who, me?

668
00:34:15,887 --> 00:34:17,256
Nah, girl,
I would never do that.

669
00:34:17,289 --> 00:34:21,059
-I would never do that!
-Come on. Yes!

670
00:34:29,468 --> 00:34:30,769
I'm sending you home
with a wheelchair,

671
00:34:30,802 --> 00:34:32,104
but I want you
to get up and walk

672
00:34:32,138 --> 00:34:33,939
whenever you have the energy.
You got it?

673
00:34:33,972 --> 00:34:36,041
I'll try.

674
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:38,110
You know,
your presence on this ward

675
00:34:38,144 --> 00:34:41,247
has touched so many, Blanca.

676
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,582
The people coming to visit you

677
00:34:43,615 --> 00:34:46,618
have really inspired
a lot of people.

678
00:34:48,354 --> 00:34:50,989
Given a lot of people hope.

679
00:34:51,022 --> 00:34:54,260
I didn't realize
I had that much love.

680
00:34:54,293 --> 00:34:58,330
I'm grateful to be alive
and to be loved.

681
00:35:12,378 --> 00:35:14,146
(chuckles)
Damon.

682
00:35:14,180 --> 00:35:16,248
Baby, what are you doing here?

683
00:35:16,282 --> 00:35:17,683
Oh, Angel told me what happened.

684
00:35:17,716 --> 00:35:19,485
I'm so sorry
I couldn't get here sooner.

685
00:35:19,518 --> 00:35:21,153
You came just in time.

686
00:35:21,187 --> 00:35:23,021
I'm being discharged
this afternoon.

687
00:35:23,054 --> 00:35:24,590
Okay.

688
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,692
-Come on, help your mother pack.
-Okay.

689
00:35:26,725 --> 00:35:29,195
Hey, sweetheart.

690
00:35:29,228 --> 00:35:31,230
Now take it easy.

691
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:34,600
I leave you here
for two seconds...

692
00:35:34,633 --> 00:35:36,435
BLANCA:
Oh, I was in the hospital.

693
00:35:36,468 --> 00:35:39,137
I'm so happy you're here, baby.

694
00:35:39,171 --> 00:35:41,507
I'm sorry you had to fly out
all that way.

695
00:35:41,540 --> 00:35:45,110
Don't ever apologize.
You're my mother. Okay?

696
00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:46,945
Well, as a mother,
I need to know

697
00:35:46,978 --> 00:35:48,814
if you got tested over there.

698
00:35:48,847 --> 00:35:51,016
Don't worry. I'm negative.

699
00:35:51,049 --> 00:35:52,484
I found out in Paris.

700
00:35:52,518 --> 00:35:54,686
(whispers):
Thank God.

701
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:56,955
Now tell me everything.

702
00:35:56,988 --> 00:35:59,525
How was
the Malcolm McLaren tour?

703
00:35:59,558 --> 00:36:01,327
Was it everything
you dreamed of?

704
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,461
More, actually.

705
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:04,496
He wants me...

706
00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:06,298
to choreograph
his next music video!

707
00:36:06,332 --> 00:36:07,866
-What?
-Yes.

708
00:36:07,899 --> 00:36:10,068
-Damon,
you are living the dream.
-(chuckles) Yeah.

709
00:36:10,101 --> 00:36:11,337
I am.

710
00:36:11,370 --> 00:36:13,339
Traveling the world
for the both of us,

711
00:36:13,372 --> 00:36:15,106
like you said I would.

712
00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:19,378
And I have news.

713
00:36:20,379 --> 00:36:23,215
Mm-hmm. Here you go.

714
00:36:24,216 --> 00:36:26,352
I took...

715
00:36:26,385 --> 00:36:28,854
-Evangelista over
to Paris. (chuckles)
-What?

716
00:36:28,887 --> 00:36:30,922
I'm a house father now

717
00:36:30,956 --> 00:36:33,259
with kids of my own
that won't listen to me.

718
00:36:33,292 --> 00:36:34,926
-Uh-huh.
Karma's a bitch, ain't she?
-Mm-hmm.

719
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,929
Yes, she sure is.
(chuckles)

720
00:36:40,966 --> 00:36:45,371
You know, you taught me
everything that I know.

721
00:36:46,405 --> 00:36:48,173
And I'm paying it forward.

722
00:36:48,206 --> 00:36:51,277
You know, taking a little bit
of you overseas with me,

723
00:36:51,310 --> 00:36:54,212
passing all the lessons
that you taught me to my kids.

724
00:36:55,714 --> 00:36:57,683
I mean,
I'm doing my part over there,

725
00:36:57,716 --> 00:36:59,751
and you need to do
your part here.

726
00:36:59,785 --> 00:37:03,054
-What are you talking about?
-I heard you closed Evangelista.

727
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:06,358
But you're a mother.

728
00:37:06,392 --> 00:37:08,360
(voice breaking):
Without you,

729
00:37:08,394 --> 00:37:11,397
where would I be?

730
00:37:12,431 --> 00:37:14,400
There are so many more Damons

731
00:37:14,433 --> 00:37:16,702
in the world that need saving.

732
00:37:16,735 --> 00:37:19,738
Your work isn't done yet.

733
00:37:22,408 --> 00:37:24,343
Mm-hmm.

734
00:37:25,411 --> 00:37:28,380
-How long I got you here for?
-(chuckles)

735
00:37:28,414 --> 00:37:30,449
Long enough

736
00:37:30,482 --> 00:37:33,118
to be your date
at the Mother's Day ball.

737
00:37:33,151 --> 00:37:34,620
-Mm.
-Mm-hmm.

738
00:37:34,653 --> 00:37:36,154
Well, let's get
the hell up out of here.

739
00:37:36,187 --> 00:37:37,423
Yes, please.

740
00:37:37,456 --> 00:37:40,426
Come on, sneakers.

741
00:37:40,459 --> 00:37:42,328
Oh. Oh, here they are.

742
00:37:42,361 --> 00:37:45,731
I want my sneakers.

743
00:37:45,764 --> 00:37:47,232
I love you.

744
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:49,535
I love you, too.

745
00:37:52,538 --> 00:37:54,840
PRAY TELL:
Happy Mother's Day,

746
00:37:54,873 --> 00:37:56,575
-bitches!
-(cheering)

747
00:37:56,608 --> 00:37:58,510
Now, in honor of the matriarchs

748
00:37:58,544 --> 00:38:00,245
in our lives,

749
00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:02,814
it's time for the best
and the brightest

750
00:38:02,848 --> 00:38:05,250
to show up and show out!

751
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:06,485
It is time

752
00:38:06,518 --> 00:38:10,622
for a house versus house
showdown

753
00:38:10,656 --> 00:38:14,292
featuring Ferocity
versus Pendavis

754
00:38:14,326 --> 00:38:17,162
versus Wintour.

755
00:38:17,195 --> 00:38:20,198
The category is...

756
00:38:20,231 --> 00:38:22,200
Runway!

757
00:38:22,233 --> 00:38:24,202
(cheering)

758
00:38:24,235 --> 00:38:26,204
Oh!

759
00:38:26,237 --> 00:38:28,474
Come on, now!

760
00:38:28,507 --> 00:38:30,442
Mm-mm. Y'all know
I'm strictly dickly.

761
00:38:30,476 --> 00:38:34,646
If I had to define
my sexual orientation,

762
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,115
it would come in the form

763
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:39,651
of a leggy beauty
in a ball gown.

764
00:38:39,685 --> 00:38:41,052
* Mighty real... *

765
00:38:41,086 --> 00:38:42,354
Yes, I see you, Jazmine.

766
00:38:42,388 --> 00:38:44,390
Looking gorgeous and fabulous.

767
00:38:44,423 --> 00:38:45,457
All right. Ooh!

768
00:38:45,491 --> 00:38:48,494
Ooh! Miss Kiki's baby "B,"

769
00:38:48,527 --> 00:38:50,396
the crown jewel

770
00:38:50,429 --> 00:38:52,698
of the Pendavis family.

771
00:38:52,731 --> 00:38:57,035
The baby with all her legs
all the way out.

772
00:38:57,068 --> 00:38:59,805
She ain't no baby no more,
goddamn it, I know that.

773
00:38:59,838 --> 00:39:01,640
Oh! Oh!

774
00:39:01,673 --> 00:39:04,410
(singsongy):
Aphrodite!

775
00:39:04,443 --> 00:39:08,480
The living embodiment
of her namesake.

776
00:39:08,514 --> 00:39:11,583
Serving us love,
beauty and passion,

777
00:39:11,617 --> 00:39:15,320
all wrapped up in gold lamé.

778
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,355
Judges, your scores

779
00:39:17,389 --> 00:39:20,726
Ten, nine, nine, ten, nine.

780
00:39:20,759 --> 00:39:24,496
For Baby B,
nine, ten, eight, nine, ten.

781
00:39:24,530 --> 00:39:27,433
Work it out.
And your scores for Jazmine.

782
00:39:27,466 --> 00:39:30,836
Ten, ten, nine, ten, ten.
Grand prize.

783
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:32,571
Jazmine Wintour.

784
00:39:32,604 --> 00:39:34,906
Come on up here
and get this trophy, baby.

785
00:39:34,940 --> 00:39:38,510
Come on up here.
Thank you, thank you very much.

786
00:39:38,544 --> 00:39:40,345
All right, now.

787
00:39:40,378 --> 00:39:43,949
The category is... Realness.

788
00:39:43,982 --> 00:39:45,884
All right,
here we got Lulu Ferocity,

789
00:39:45,917 --> 00:39:47,886
mother of The House of Ferocity.

790
00:39:47,919 --> 00:39:50,388
Roses are red, baby.

791
00:39:50,422 --> 00:39:52,524
Oh, come on, Kiki Pendavis.

792
00:39:52,558 --> 00:39:55,060
Come on, now.
Kiki has stepped on out.

793
00:39:55,093 --> 00:39:58,263
She's giving us sequin realness.

794
00:39:58,296 --> 00:40:00,098
Come on up here.

795
00:40:00,131 --> 00:40:03,635
* I feel real, I feel real... *

796
00:40:03,669 --> 00:40:09,074
And emerging from the shadows,
Miss Elektra Wintour.

797
00:40:09,107 --> 00:40:12,310
Come on, come on, girl. Come on.

798
00:40:12,343 --> 00:40:15,346
-(cheering, applause)
-Yeah.

799
00:40:18,249 --> 00:40:23,388
Each and every one
of these women is stunning.

800
00:40:23,421 --> 00:40:25,390
We all know that.

801
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:29,094
But will they pass
our panel's arduous inspection?

802
00:40:29,127 --> 00:40:31,597
How supple is her skin?

803
00:40:31,630 --> 00:40:33,965
Is she taking her biotin,
my darlings?

804
00:40:33,999 --> 00:40:35,801
What's the wattage
of that smile?

805
00:40:35,834 --> 00:40:38,436
Is it Colgate-worthy?

806
00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:40,005
All y'all know
what I'm talking about.

807
00:40:40,038 --> 00:40:44,409
Judges, your scores

808
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:47,112

is the realest of them all.

813
00:40:56,522 --> 00:40:58,824
Uh-uh! They fucking bricks!

814
00:40:58,857 --> 00:41:00,692
Okay. Thank you.

815
00:41:00,726 --> 00:41:04,596
Um, and for Elektra Wintour.

816
00:41:04,630 --> 00:41:06,798
Ten, ten, ten, ten, ten.

817
00:41:06,832 --> 00:41:09,167
Tens across the board.

818
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,704
Grand prize, Elektra Wintour.

819
00:41:12,738 --> 00:41:16,642
We see you. We see you, Wintour.

820
00:41:16,675 --> 00:41:19,477
Wintour hath come.

821
00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:24,349
Y'all done snatched

822
00:41:24,382 --> 00:41:25,617
house versus house trophies.

823
00:41:25,651 --> 00:41:28,520
Let's see if it's gonna be
a clean sweep.

824
00:41:28,554 --> 00:41:31,356
I'm not certain, but we gonna
find out right now,

825
00:41:31,389 --> 00:41:34,192
because it's time for Vogue!

826
00:41:34,225 --> 00:41:37,963
(cheering, applause)

827
00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:41,299
Uh, uh, yeah!

828
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:44,169
Without a shadow
of a motherfucking doubt,

829
00:41:44,202 --> 00:41:48,574
Elektra's chocolate drop
brings it every time.

830
00:41:48,607 --> 00:41:50,041
Why are you gabbing?

831
00:41:50,075 --> 00:41:52,978
Why are you gabbing?
This bitch brings it every time.

832
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:55,881
But don't discount
Miss Florida Ferocity, honey.

833
00:41:55,914 --> 00:41:58,650
She's giving me all
of the things that I need.

834
00:41:58,684 --> 00:42:01,820
Bitch, stop playing with me.
Stop playing with me now!

835
00:42:01,853 --> 00:42:03,655
I can't stand y'all.
Oh, she's lolling,

836
00:42:03,689 --> 00:42:06,558
lolling, my goodness,
lolli-lolling her head.

837
00:42:06,592 --> 00:42:10,428
Oh! Whip it, whip it, whip it,

838
00:42:10,461 --> 00:42:12,598
Child, y'all gonna
break my ass tonight.

839
00:42:12,631 --> 00:42:14,766
Oh, shit.
And here comes Demetrius,

840
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,037
serving up angles
with precision.

841
00:42:19,070 --> 00:42:20,672
Skill, darling.

842
00:42:20,706 --> 00:42:22,273
Y'all better learn it. Oh, oh!

843
00:42:22,307 --> 00:42:23,909
Ah, schwing!

844
00:42:23,942 --> 00:42:26,077

Shablam!

845
00:42:26,111 --> 00:42:27,913
Yes, keep going.

846
00:42:27,946 --> 00:42:29,881

847
00:42:29,915 --> 00:42:32,117
(laughs)
All right, stop.

848
00:42:32,150 --> 00:42:34,119
(laughs)

849
00:42:34,152 --> 00:42:35,921
Baby, what's it gonna be?

850
00:42:35,954 --> 00:42:38,023
Judges, y'all got
your work cut out for you.

851
00:42:38,056 --> 00:42:39,591
Let me see you deliberate.

852
00:42:39,625 --> 00:42:43,128
Just one moment,
the judges are deliberating.

853
00:42:43,161 --> 00:42:44,796
(crowd chanting)

854
00:42:44,830 --> 00:42:47,633
Okay. All right.
All right. All right!

855
00:42:47,666 --> 00:42:49,567
We have a winner.

856
00:42:49,601 --> 00:42:52,270
The grand prize goes to...

857
00:42:52,303 --> 00:42:56,107
-Miss Florida Ferocity.
-(cheering, applause)

858
00:42:56,141 --> 00:42:59,277
Come on, girl. Congratulations.

859
00:42:59,310 --> 00:43:00,646
Yes, baby.

860
00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:02,781
This is for my mother, Candy.

861
00:43:02,814 --> 00:43:05,884
Honey, we miss Miss Candy, too.
Mwah. Mwah. Mwah.

862
00:43:05,917 --> 00:43:10,756
-* What are we gonna
do with it? *
-(chanting)

863
00:43:18,596 --> 00:43:21,800

Come on, let us welcome

867
00:43:28,539 --> 00:43:30,742
Come on, mothers.
You're looking gorgeous.

00:43:30,776 --> 00:43:33,144
You're looking beautiful,
as always.

869
00:43:33,178 --> 00:43:36,748
You know, this year was arguably
our hardest, so I have to say,

870
00:43:36,782 --> 00:43:40,151
mothers, you should
all be very, very proud.

871
00:43:40,185 --> 00:43:43,822
To be a mother worthy
of the title Mother of the Year

872
00:43:43,855 --> 00:43:46,858
is to encourage your children
to live their best life,

873
00:43:46,892 --> 00:43:50,796
to soldier on through
the good and the bad with grace,

874
00:43:50,829 --> 00:43:53,665
courage and poise.

875
00:43:53,699 --> 00:43:58,670
So, the nominees
for Mother of the Year are:

876
00:43:58,704 --> 00:44:03,208
from The House of Pendavis,
Kiki Pendavis.

877
00:44:03,241 --> 00:44:06,344
A vision in lilac,
looking at you. Look at you.

878
00:44:06,377 --> 00:44:10,816
From The House of Ferocity,
Lulu Ferocity.

879
00:44:10,849 --> 00:44:13,785
Come on, baby.
Looking good tonight.

880
00:44:13,819 --> 00:44:16,688
Keeping that roses theme going.
Yes, honey.

881
00:44:16,722 --> 00:44:21,626
And from The House of Wintour,
Elektra Wintour.

882
00:44:21,659 --> 00:44:23,394
Come on, bitch.

883
00:44:23,428 --> 00:44:25,663
* Outstanding... *

884
00:44:25,697 --> 00:44:28,734
Come on, mothers.
Okay, so listen.

885
00:44:28,767 --> 00:44:30,702
This award always comes with
a little bit of controversy.

886
00:44:30,736 --> 00:44:34,005
'Cause no matter who wins it,
somebody's always like,

887
00:44:34,039 --> 00:44:35,874
"Well, how did she win that?

888
00:44:35,907 --> 00:44:37,375
-(laughter)
-"My mama should've won that.

889
00:44:37,408 --> 00:44:39,410
Nyah, nyah, g--"
We ain't doing that tonight.

890
00:44:39,444 --> 00:44:40,979
'Cause I'm gonna let y'all know,

891
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,214
that this year,
the votes were unanimous.

892
00:44:43,248 --> 00:44:47,919
This glamazon built her house
out of thin air

893
00:44:47,953 --> 00:44:49,721
and stormed this stage

894
00:44:49,755 --> 00:44:54,059
like an impeccable
couture collection,

895
00:44:54,092 --> 00:44:58,396
leaving us awed,
and our mouths agape

896
00:44:58,429 --> 00:45:01,166
any time one of her children
hit the floor.

897
00:45:01,199 --> 00:45:06,271
The 1991
Mother of the Year award

898
00:45:06,304 --> 00:45:08,073
goes to...

899
00:45:08,106 --> 00:45:10,375
Miss Elektra Wintour!

900
00:45:10,408 --> 00:45:12,610
(cheering, applause)

901
00:45:12,643 --> 00:45:14,012
There you have it.

902
00:45:14,045 --> 00:45:16,514
* You're so outstanding, yeah *

903
00:45:16,547 --> 00:45:19,217
* Girl, you knock me out... *

904
00:45:19,250 --> 00:45:21,519
(Pray Tell
grunting rhythmically)

905
00:45:21,552 --> 00:45:22,788
(whoops)

906
00:45:22,821 --> 00:45:24,222
CROWD (chanting):
Wintour!

907
00:45:24,255 --> 00:45:26,224
Wintour! Wintour!

908
00:45:26,257 --> 00:45:29,694
* It makes me want to shout... *

909
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:32,931
Wintour! Wintour!

910
00:45:35,433 --> 00:45:37,936
I miss walking these balls.

911
00:45:37,969 --> 00:45:40,738
Girl, everybody would be okay if
you decide to sit this one out.

912
00:45:40,772 --> 00:45:42,808
I am not sitting this one out
tonight. Sorry, Damon.

913
00:45:42,841 --> 00:45:45,243
How the hell you gonna walk
a ball if you can't even get out

914
00:45:45,276 --> 00:45:46,744
of this chair without losing
your breath, huh?

915
00:45:46,778 --> 00:45:48,279
I got a plan. Watch me.

916
00:45:50,281 --> 00:45:51,482
(strains)

917
00:45:51,516 --> 00:45:52,784
-Gir... Easy.
-Okay, then, you got to help.

918
00:45:52,818 --> 00:45:54,786
-Don't overdo it. Relax.
-Ooh.

919
00:45:54,820 --> 00:45:56,988
-Okay?
-Yeah, um, step on it, please.

920
00:45:57,022 --> 00:46:00,691
-All right. Here we go.
-(whooping, laughter)

921
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:05,630
LEMAR:
The models always look good
when they be smoking.

922
00:46:05,663 --> 00:46:06,832
ANGEL:
But that's why the models
looking real old real young.

923
00:46:06,865 --> 00:46:08,099
CUBBY:
It's messing with their skin.

924
00:46:08,133 --> 00:46:10,668
-LEMAR: Look it, Nancy.
-Oh...

925
00:46:10,701 --> 00:46:13,571
Oh, my God. Did you get these?
They're so beautiful.

926
00:46:13,604 --> 00:46:15,773
(chuckles) Two glasses of
your finest champagne, please.

927
00:46:15,807 --> 00:46:18,243
Bitch, where do you think
this is, the Plaza Hotel?

928
00:46:18,276 --> 00:46:20,912
-(chuckles)
-Two of anything with bubbles.
Damn.

929
00:46:20,946 --> 00:46:23,148
-We celebrating.
-What we celebrating?

930
00:46:23,181 --> 00:46:24,916
Esteban Martinez Management
just booked

931
00:46:24,950 --> 00:46:26,684
its first job for a client.

932
00:46:26,717 --> 00:46:27,953
-You're shitting me.
-Yeah, girl.

933
00:46:27,986 --> 00:46:28,954
-Who?
-You.

934
00:46:28,987 --> 00:46:30,488
-What?
-Yeah.

935
00:46:30,521 --> 00:46:32,257
I asked Miss Ford to send me
a list of all the projects

936
00:46:32,290 --> 00:46:34,292
she thought the agency
was too good for.

937
00:46:34,325 --> 00:46:36,594
Angel, there's pages and pages
of, like, infomercials

938
00:46:36,627 --> 00:46:37,996
and car shows
and foreign companies.

939
00:46:38,029 --> 00:46:39,130
All that kind of stuff.

940
00:46:39,164 --> 00:46:40,665
-Oh, my God.
-Mm-hmm.

941
00:46:40,698 --> 00:46:43,134
-So, what is it, babe?
-Well...

942
00:46:43,168 --> 00:46:44,702
-Let's-let's go over there.
-Damn.

943
00:46:44,735 --> 00:46:46,271
-Nosy asses.
-Oh, my God.

944
00:46:46,304 --> 00:46:48,373
-Wait, so which one is it?
-It's Blachen Cola.

945
00:46:48,406 --> 00:46:50,942
-It's a new soda out in Berlin.
-What?

946
00:46:50,976 --> 00:46:52,944
Yeah, they was, they was looking
for a girl with color

947
00:46:52,978 --> 00:46:55,780
and personality to be
in a German commercial.

948
00:46:55,813 --> 00:46:58,016
I sent them your photos
and they flipped out, baby girl.

949
00:46:58,049 --> 00:47:00,485
-What?
-Angel, we're going to Berlin
tomorrow, first class.

950
00:47:00,518 --> 00:47:03,321
-Tomorrow? Oh, my God.
-Tomorrow. On one of them 747s

951
00:47:03,354 --> 00:47:05,123
with the, um,
with the stairways,

952
00:47:05,156 --> 00:47:07,025
-with the piano and bar
and shit.
-Wait.

953
00:47:07,058 --> 00:47:08,894
-Oh, my goodness.
-Yeah.

954
00:47:08,927 --> 00:47:10,896
Tomorrow.

955
00:47:10,929 --> 00:47:15,000
* I wasn't trying to lead you on
like a friend... *

956
00:47:15,033 --> 00:47:16,801
But babe...

957
00:47:16,834 --> 00:47:18,703
* I didn't mean
to turn you on... *

958
00:47:18,736 --> 00:47:20,805
But what if when we get there,
they find out?

959
00:47:20,838 --> 00:47:23,141
-Did you tell them everything?
-They already know.

960
00:47:23,174 --> 00:47:25,743
-What?
-Yeah. Fidelity, remember?

961
00:47:25,776 --> 00:47:28,013
I tell the truth
and let the chips fall.

962
00:47:28,046 --> 00:47:29,981
They kind of liked it,
thought it made you edgy.

963
00:47:30,015 --> 00:47:31,582
I don't got to hide no more?

964
00:47:31,616 --> 00:47:33,351
-Mm-mm.
-Oh, my God.

965
00:47:33,384 --> 00:47:37,022
I thought it was the end.
I almost gave up.

966
00:47:38,689 --> 00:47:39,891
Babe, I lost all faith.

967
00:47:39,925 --> 00:47:43,028
That'll happen when you get hit
so many times like that.

968
00:47:43,061 --> 00:47:45,763
It can knock a person down.

969
00:47:45,796 --> 00:47:49,600
You know the first thing
I noticed about you?

970
00:47:49,634 --> 00:47:52,237
Your feet don't really touch
the ground when they walk.

971
00:47:52,270 --> 00:47:57,075
You be floating up,
high above, baby girl.

972
00:47:58,944 --> 00:48:01,112
(voice breaking):
You know you're my angel, right?

973
00:48:02,948 --> 00:48:05,250
You always been.

974
00:48:05,283 --> 00:48:08,453
And when I'm with you,

975
00:48:08,486 --> 00:48:12,623
I get to be up there
for a little while. (chuckles)

976
00:48:12,657 --> 00:48:15,060
I'm always gonna
stay close to the ground,

977
00:48:15,093 --> 00:48:16,627
waiting to catch you,
just in case

978
00:48:16,661 --> 00:48:19,164
life knocks you down again,
you know that?

979
00:48:21,732 --> 00:48:23,701
-I love you.
-I love you, too.

980
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:26,737
-I love you, too.
-Mm.

981
00:48:29,941 --> 00:48:33,644
I learned very early on not
to show nobody who I really am.

982
00:48:33,678 --> 00:48:37,648
-Hmm.
-Because nobody...

983
00:48:37,682 --> 00:48:40,318
nobody would see me and love me.

984
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,090
But then I met you.

985
00:48:45,123 --> 00:48:48,159
Papi, your heart is so pure,

986
00:48:48,193 --> 00:48:51,963
and your belief in me
never shakes. (sniffles)

987
00:48:51,997 --> 00:48:54,799
You-you taught me
how to feel safe.

988
00:48:54,832 --> 00:48:57,102
You know, in the world,
where tomorrow's not guaranteed

989
00:48:57,135 --> 00:49:00,471
-for us girls,
safety is everything.
-Mm.

990
00:49:02,107 --> 00:49:05,876
You've shown me
how to feel love.

991
00:49:07,845 --> 00:49:10,848
I don't ever want to be
without that feeling.

992
00:49:22,060 --> 00:49:24,329
Like I'm gonna stop.

993
00:49:31,369 --> 00:49:34,505
I don't ever want to be
without you.

994
00:49:37,475 --> 00:49:39,110
Will you...

995
00:49:39,144 --> 00:49:41,879
Fuck yeah. Mm.
(sniffles)

996
00:49:41,912 --> 00:49:43,681
-I'm not finished yet.
-I don't care.

997
00:49:43,714 --> 00:49:45,550
-I want to say it, too.
-(chuckles)

998
00:49:45,583 --> 00:49:48,153
-On three?
-On three.

999
00:49:50,388 --> 00:49:53,458
BOTH:
One, two, three.

1000
00:49:53,491 --> 00:49:54,692
Will you marry me?

1001
00:49:54,725 --> 00:49:56,061
-Duh.
-Yes.

1002
00:49:56,094 --> 00:49:58,096
(cheering, applause)

1003
00:50:04,202 --> 00:50:06,771
Oh, my God, we're gonna go
to our first wedding!

1004
00:50:08,173 --> 00:50:10,141
(indistinct chatter)

1005
00:50:10,175 --> 00:50:12,177
Hey, superstar.

1006
00:50:12,210 --> 00:50:15,046
-Bitch, don't act brand-new.
-(both chuckle)

1007
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,815
Oh...

1008
00:50:17,848 --> 00:50:20,885
Ah, I hear you out there
hustling overseas.

1009
00:50:20,918 --> 00:50:23,321
Teaching classes every town
you stop in.

1010
00:50:23,354 --> 00:50:28,593
Mm, not every town, but just,
um, Paris and Amsterdam.

1011
00:50:28,626 --> 00:50:30,528
I mean, London's been calling,
as well.

1012
00:50:30,561 --> 00:50:34,199
Uh, just Paris,
Amsterdam and London?

1013
00:50:34,232 --> 00:50:37,368
Come on, man, that's incredible.

1014
00:50:37,402 --> 00:50:40,338
I guess I'm not doing that bad,
but enough about me.

1015
00:50:40,371 --> 00:50:42,039
What about you?
I heard you're still dancing.

1016
00:50:42,073 --> 00:50:45,176
I, um, I just booked
the new Paula Abdul tour.

1017
00:50:45,210 --> 00:50:48,246
-I haven't heard the music yet,
but it should be pretty dope.
-Paula?

1018
00:50:48,279 --> 00:50:51,716
-Yeah. (chuckles)
-Wow! That's incredible.

1019
00:50:51,749 --> 00:50:53,984
Look at us.

1020
00:50:55,253 --> 00:50:57,955
Uh, how you doing?

1021
00:50:57,988 --> 00:51:00,325
You know...

1022
00:51:02,293 --> 00:51:03,761
...health-wise?

1023
00:51:03,794 --> 00:51:05,763
I'm negative.

1024
00:51:05,796 --> 00:51:07,398
I tested back in Paris.

1025
00:51:07,432 --> 00:51:09,400
Thank God.
(exhales)

1026
00:51:09,434 --> 00:51:11,202
I've been so worried,

1027
00:51:11,236 --> 00:51:13,238
but I didn't have a number
to call you at.

1028
00:51:15,273 --> 00:51:18,943
I'm-I'm so sorry, Damon.

1029
00:51:18,976 --> 00:51:21,312
You are forgiven.

1030
00:51:21,346 --> 00:51:23,814
And to be completely honest,
it woke me up,

1031
00:51:23,848 --> 00:51:25,750
made me more responsible,
or as Blanca would say,

1032
00:51:25,783 --> 00:51:27,452
-more adult, so...
-Hmm.

1033
00:51:27,485 --> 00:51:28,753
we're good.

1034
00:51:28,786 --> 00:51:31,756
I feel that.

1035
00:51:31,789 --> 00:51:34,992
You know, being with Pray has
helped me to grow up a lot, too.

1036
00:51:35,025 --> 00:51:37,295
Mm-hmm.

1037
00:51:37,328 --> 00:51:39,430
Being with that old queen,
you'll end up turning into one.

1038
00:51:39,464 --> 00:51:41,466
-(both laugh)
-Hey.

1039
00:51:41,499 --> 00:51:45,002
You know, he's got me
wearing eye cream now.

1040
00:51:45,035 --> 00:51:49,574
-(laughs)
-Bitch, no.

1041
00:51:49,607 --> 00:51:53,344
But for real, I'm-I'm just happy
to know you're doing okay.

1042
00:51:53,378 --> 00:51:56,181
-Shit, better than okay.
-(both laugh)

1043
00:51:56,214 --> 00:51:59,417
PRAY TELL:
Last call for submissions
for Candy's Sweet Refrain!

1044
00:51:59,450 --> 00:52:01,419
Oh, I'm so sorry,
but I got to go, Ricky. Okay?

1045
00:52:01,452 --> 00:52:03,454
It's good seeing you.

1046
00:52:03,488 --> 00:52:05,190
-Good to see you, too.
-Really.

1047
00:52:07,292 --> 00:52:09,026
-(sighs)
-PRAY TELL: All right.

1048
00:52:09,059 --> 00:52:12,263
All right, so tonight
marks the first time

1049
00:52:12,297 --> 00:52:16,267
that we are offering a cash
prize for Candy's Sweet Refrain.

1050
00:52:16,301 --> 00:52:19,804
I believe that this
will very soon be a...

1051
00:52:19,837 --> 00:52:21,839
a ballroom tradition.

1052
00:52:24,342 --> 00:52:28,145
Okay, um...
it has come to my attention

1053
00:52:28,179 --> 00:52:32,149
that we have a very special
performer in our midst.

1054
00:52:32,183 --> 00:52:33,718
She hasn't been feeling
very well lately,

1055
00:52:33,751 --> 00:52:37,255
so we're gonna move her
to the front of the line.

1056
00:52:41,158 --> 00:52:42,393
(chuckles softly)

1057
00:52:42,427 --> 00:52:45,363
So, back from a brief
leave of absence,

1058
00:52:45,396 --> 00:52:50,235
please give it up
for our very first contestant...

1059
00:52:50,268 --> 00:52:54,872
("The Star Spangled Banner"
by Whitney Houston playing)

1060
00:52:54,905 --> 00:53:00,845
-* O say can you see *
-(applause, cheering)

1061
00:53:00,878 --> 00:53:06,251
* By the dawn's early light *

1062
00:53:06,284 --> 00:53:11,689
* What so proudly we hailed *

1063
00:53:11,722 --> 00:53:17,995
* At the twilight's
last gleaming *

1064
00:53:18,028 --> 00:53:24,535
* Whose broad stripes
and bright stars *

1065
00:53:24,569 --> 00:53:30,875
* Through the perilous fight *

1066
00:53:30,908 --> 00:53:37,515
* O'er the ramparts we watched *

1067
00:53:37,548 --> 00:53:43,187
* Were so gallantly streaming? *

1068
00:53:43,220 --> 00:53:48,359
* And the rockets' red glare *

1069
00:53:48,393 --> 00:53:50,227
(loud cheering)

1070
00:53:50,261 --> 00:53:56,801
* The bombs bursting in air *

1071
00:53:56,834 --> 00:54:03,408
* Gave proof
through the night *

1072
00:54:03,441 --> 00:54:10,247
* That our flag
was still there *

1073
00:54:10,281 --> 00:54:14,719
* O say does that *

1074
00:54:14,752 --> 00:54:20,625
* Star-spangled banner *

1075
00:54:20,658 --> 00:54:26,163
* Yet wave *

1076
00:54:26,196 --> 00:54:29,434
* O'er the land *

1077
00:54:29,467 --> 00:54:34,439
* Of the free *

1078
00:54:34,472 --> 00:54:37,608
* And the home *

1079
00:54:37,642 --> 00:54:39,844
* Of the *

1080
00:54:39,877 --> 00:54:44,349
* Brave? *

1081
00:54:44,382 --> 00:54:47,284
(holding final note)

1082
00:54:51,389 --> 00:54:53,424
(song ends)

1083
00:54:53,458 --> 00:54:54,625
(loud cheering)

1084
00:54:54,659 --> 00:54:56,327
PRAY TELL:
I'm calling it.

1085
00:54:56,361 --> 00:54:58,329
I'm calling it right now.

1086
00:54:58,363 --> 00:55:02,867
I'm calling it. Grand prize--
Blanca Evangelista.

1087
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:06,203
The rest of you hos can go home
and come on back next week.

1088
00:55:06,236 --> 00:55:08,906
God bless you,
and God bless America.

1089
00:55:13,043 --> 00:55:15,245
(indistinct chatter)

1090
00:55:26,256 --> 00:55:27,692
(microphone feedback)

1091
00:55:27,725 --> 00:55:30,395
For tonight's
closing festivities,

1092
00:55:30,428 --> 00:55:33,230
we've set a challenge for
the beloved men of our scene.

1093
00:55:33,263 --> 00:55:36,200
One that requires them
to find out what it's like,

1094
00:55:36,233 --> 00:55:39,404
just for one night,
to walk in our heels.

1095
00:55:39,437 --> 00:55:42,540
-(applause, cheering)
-For a category so special,

1096
00:55:42,573 --> 00:55:45,342
we have a panel of judges
who intimately understand

1097
00:55:45,376 --> 00:55:49,013
what it feels like
to be judged day in and day out.

1098
00:55:49,046 --> 00:55:53,418
This panel is made up
of our legendary women.

1099
00:55:53,451 --> 00:55:55,420
Come judge for me.

1100
00:55:55,453 --> 00:55:58,322
Angel Evangelista.

1101
00:55:58,355 --> 00:55:59,857
(applause, cheering)

1102
00:55:59,890 --> 00:56:02,393
Come judge for me.
Come judge for me.

1103
00:56:02,427 --> 00:56:06,363
Yeah, come judge for me.
Come judge for me.

1104
00:56:06,397 --> 00:56:11,436
Lulu Ferocity,
come judge for me.

1105
00:56:11,469 --> 00:56:13,270
Come judge for me.

1106
00:56:13,303 --> 00:56:16,173
Uh-huh, come judge for me.

1107
00:56:16,206 --> 00:56:18,943
* Sinia-ia-ia-ia Ebony. *

1108
00:56:18,976 --> 00:56:22,547
Come judge for me.
Uh-huh, come judge for me.

1109
00:56:22,580 --> 00:56:24,181
Yeah, come judge for me.

1110
00:56:24,214 --> 00:56:27,084
Uh-huh, come judge for me.

1111
00:56:27,117 --> 00:56:32,457
The legendary... Kiki Pendavis!

1112
00:56:32,490 --> 00:56:35,893
Come judge for me.
Oh, yes, come judge for me.

1113
00:56:35,926 --> 00:56:38,529
Uh-huh, come judge for me.

1114
00:56:38,563 --> 00:56:41,298
And our final judge
for the evening is the woman

1115
00:56:41,331 --> 00:56:44,101
who I believe is the rightful
winner of Mother of the Year.

1116
00:56:44,134 --> 00:56:46,270
In the midst
of starting her own business,

1117
00:56:46,303 --> 00:56:48,205
she battled a demon silently,

1118
00:56:48,238 --> 00:56:50,441
struggling to stay alive
to be here

1119
00:56:50,475 --> 00:56:54,078
for her children, for us all.

1120
00:56:54,111 --> 00:56:57,482
This woman pushed her daughter
to great heights in fashion.

1121
00:56:57,515 --> 00:57:00,150
She inspired her son
to become a businessman.

1122
00:57:00,184 --> 00:57:01,786
She supported her baby boy,

1123
00:57:01,819 --> 00:57:05,122
who is now a world-renowned
dancer and choreographer.

1124
00:57:05,155 --> 00:57:07,458
(applause, cheering)

1125
00:57:07,492 --> 00:57:09,494
I don't know a better person.

1126
00:57:09,527 --> 00:57:12,329
I am proud
to have her in my life,

1127
00:57:12,362 --> 00:57:14,965
and to call her my daughter.

1128
00:57:14,999 --> 00:57:18,569
Our final judge is my heroine,

1129
00:57:18,603 --> 00:57:20,605
my heart,

1130
00:57:20,638 --> 00:57:23,808
Blanca Evangelista!

1131
00:57:23,841 --> 00:57:26,477
(applause, cheering)

1132
00:57:29,179 --> 00:57:32,817
Come judge for me.
Come judge for me.

1133
00:57:32,850 --> 00:57:35,152
Yes, come judge for me,
daughter.

1134
00:57:35,185 --> 00:57:36,754
We love you, Blanca!

1135
00:57:36,787 --> 00:57:39,423
Okay.

1136
00:57:39,456 --> 00:57:41,425
Enough with the emotions.

1137
00:57:41,458 --> 00:57:44,028
It's time
to judge some bitches.

1138
00:57:44,061 --> 00:57:46,330
("I'm Every Woman"
by Whitney Houston playing)

1139
00:57:46,363 --> 00:57:48,165
Don't get it twisted.

1140
00:57:48,198 --> 00:57:51,035
These men are not trying
to be women.

1141
00:57:51,068 --> 00:57:53,804
These linebackers are tapping
into their inner femininity,

1142
00:57:53,838 --> 00:57:56,641
and letting that inner queen
come out to play.

1143
00:57:56,674 --> 00:57:59,176
The category is:

1144
00:57:59,209 --> 00:58:02,947
Butch Queen Up in Drags
First Time at a Ball.

1145
00:58:02,980 --> 00:58:05,349
-(applause, cheering)
-Yes, bitch!

1146
00:58:05,382 --> 00:58:08,285
Yes! Look who it is.

1147
00:58:08,318 --> 00:58:12,657
Ricky Wintour, serving us
fierce pop diva Janet Jackson.

1148
00:58:12,690 --> 00:58:14,659
Ah, he's in control.

1149
00:58:14,692 --> 00:58:17,662
The pleasure
and the principle. Uh-huh.

1150
00:58:17,695 --> 00:58:19,564
What have you done
for him lately?

1151
00:58:19,597 --> 00:58:21,866
Now, watch him get nasty.

1152
00:58:21,899 --> 00:58:24,569
(cheering continues)

1153
00:58:24,602 --> 00:58:27,371
Unlike Pray Tell,
I will not play favorites.

1154
00:58:27,404 --> 00:58:30,541
But I will say that beauty
does indeed run in my family.

1155
00:58:30,575 --> 00:58:33,010
Judges, your scores.

1156
00:58:33,043 --> 00:58:36,413
Eight, nine, ten, nine, nine.

1157
00:58:36,446 --> 00:58:37,815
Well done!

1158
00:58:37,848 --> 00:58:39,850
Ah.

1159
00:58:39,884 --> 00:58:42,687
And look who we have here!

1160
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:47,091
The Dreams have decided to grace
us with their stunning presence.

1161
00:58:47,124 --> 00:58:48,693
Come through, Castle.

1162
00:58:48,726 --> 00:58:52,429
A crab in heels
would have better poise.

1163
00:58:52,462 --> 00:58:56,000
But she's going places,
and she's on a mission.

1164
00:58:56,033 --> 00:58:58,669
Full of confidence.
Your scores.

1165
00:58:58,703 --> 00:59:02,673
Eight, seven, eight, seven, six.

1166
00:59:02,707 --> 00:59:04,609
All right, all right.

1167
00:59:04,642 --> 00:59:07,111
Is she the Loretta
of the group?

1168
00:59:07,144 --> 00:59:09,914
I can't tell because she keeps
looking at the damn floor.

1169
00:59:09,947 --> 00:59:12,349
She's walking
like the old deaconess.

1170
00:59:12,382 --> 00:59:15,052
Pass up the offering, baby.
Pass it up. Pass it up.

1171
00:59:15,085 --> 00:59:16,887
* I can sense your needs... *

1172
00:59:16,921 --> 00:59:18,455
Oh, my God.

1173
00:59:18,488 --> 00:59:20,625
She seems to have found
what she's looking for.

1174
00:59:20,658 --> 00:59:22,860
Her confidence!

1175
00:59:22,893 --> 00:59:24,762
Judges.

1176
00:59:24,795 --> 00:59:27,932
Six, eight, eight, six, six.

1177
00:59:27,965 --> 00:59:30,868
-(laughs)
-Ooh righty!

1178
00:59:30,901 --> 00:59:33,704
If there's any question who's
the Effie White of the group,

1179
00:59:33,738 --> 00:59:35,740
she sure is blind.

1180
00:59:35,773 --> 00:59:37,441
Oh, Jackie O.

1181
00:59:37,474 --> 00:59:40,110
The dragon has returned.

1182
00:59:40,144 --> 00:59:43,147
I know you have two faces,
but three chins is remarkable.

1183
00:59:43,180 --> 00:59:45,716
Chins up, old gal.

1184
00:59:45,750 --> 00:59:48,753
She is full-figured,
fierce and ready to fight.

1185
00:59:48,786 --> 00:59:51,722
Uh-huh,
give Jack your scores, ladies.

1186
00:59:51,756 --> 00:59:55,660
Nine, eight, ten, nine, nine.

1187
00:59:55,693 --> 00:59:57,728
(applause, cheering)

1188
00:59:57,762 --> 01:00:00,397
All right. Whoo-wee!

1189
01:00:00,430 --> 01:00:05,736
Uh-huh. Ms. Cubby Wintour is
serving us realness, darling.

1190
01:00:05,770 --> 01:00:08,172
Realness.

1191
01:00:08,205 --> 01:00:10,775
The prettiest, fairest
and most stunning of them all.

1192
01:00:10,808 --> 01:00:13,778
I didn't know grilled tilapia
was on the menu tonight.

1193
01:00:13,811 --> 01:00:15,612
Come on, vanilla wafer.

1194
01:00:15,646 --> 01:00:17,748
Mother might have
to start mourning you soon.

1195
01:00:17,782 --> 01:00:20,651
Mmm. Okay, feast your eyes.

1196
01:00:20,685 --> 01:00:26,323
Judges. Nine, ten,
ten, nine, ten.

1197
01:00:26,356 --> 01:00:29,493
Looks like Vanity decided to
join us for a solo performance.

1198
01:00:29,526 --> 01:00:30,995
(applause, cheering)

1199
01:00:31,028 --> 01:00:33,330
A once-in-a-lifetime engagement.

1200
01:00:33,363 --> 01:00:34,932
Ah, my sassy daughter.

1201
01:00:34,965 --> 01:00:36,834
Pump for Mother, darling.

1202
01:00:36,867 --> 01:00:39,704
Yeah. Looks like
she was born in those boots.

1203
01:00:39,737 --> 01:00:42,973
Yes. Brava, Lemar Wintour!

1204
01:00:43,007 --> 01:00:45,442
Making Mother proud!

1205
01:00:45,475 --> 01:00:47,111
I don't know
if we need to see scores,

1206
01:00:47,144 --> 01:00:48,813
but, judges,
give me what you got.

1207
01:00:48,846 --> 01:00:52,883
Ten, ten, ten, ten, ten.

1208
01:00:52,917 --> 01:00:55,152
Across the board.

1209
01:00:55,185 --> 01:01:00,891
And here we have
the one and only Pray Tell.

1210
01:01:00,925 --> 01:01:04,161
Oh, she's shy now--
Ms. Timid Tell.

1211
01:01:04,194 --> 01:01:05,696
(forced laughter)

1212
01:01:05,730 --> 01:01:07,197
There's a woman in there.

1213
01:01:07,231 --> 01:01:10,000
Let her out. Let her out.
Show it, girl.

1214
01:01:10,034 --> 01:01:12,469
-* I'm every woman... *
-Feel it!

1215
01:01:12,502 --> 01:01:14,571
If you girls squint hard enough,

1216
01:01:14,604 --> 01:01:16,473
you'll feel the presence
of Diana Ross,

1217
01:01:16,506 --> 01:01:18,809
The Boss, Ms. Mahogany.

1218
01:01:18,843 --> 01:01:21,345
Yes, bitch!

1219
01:01:21,378 --> 01:01:23,413
That's my man!

1220
01:01:23,447 --> 01:01:26,683
* I'm every woman *

1221
01:01:26,717 --> 01:01:30,420
* I'm every
woman *

1222
01:01:30,454 --> 01:01:34,258
* I'm every woman... *

1223
01:01:34,291 --> 01:01:37,427
It takes guts to do
what these men are doing.

1224
01:01:37,461 --> 01:01:39,696
Stepping out
of their comfort zone,

1225
01:01:39,730 --> 01:01:41,832
and into the shoes of another.

1226
01:01:41,866 --> 01:01:43,934
We should all do this more.

1227
01:01:43,968 --> 01:01:47,772
If we did,
we would make a better world.

1228
01:01:47,805 --> 01:01:49,874
-(applause, cheering)
-Judges, your scores for Pray.

1229
01:01:49,907 --> 01:01:55,579
Ten, ten, ten, ten, nine.

1230
01:01:55,612 --> 01:01:58,182
Come on, Kiki!
You see these?

1231
01:01:58,215 --> 01:02:00,017
Payback's a bitch, Pray,
isn't it?

1232
01:02:00,050 --> 01:02:01,285
PRAY TELL:
That's all right.

1233
01:02:01,318 --> 01:02:02,953
I know my pump is high enough

1234
01:02:02,987 --> 01:02:04,755
to be in the competition.

1235
01:02:04,789 --> 01:02:06,290
Getting heel revenge, bitch.

1236
01:02:06,323 --> 01:02:07,792
PRAY TELL:
It is getting heel revenge.

1237
01:02:09,726 --> 01:02:11,028
ELEKTRA:
Okay.

1238
01:02:11,061 --> 01:02:16,200
Grand prize goes to my baby,
Lemar Wintour!

1239
01:02:16,233 --> 01:02:17,802
(applause, cheering)

1240
01:02:17,835 --> 01:02:20,971
* I'm every woman *

1241
01:02:21,005 --> 01:02:25,442
* I'm every
woman *

1242
01:02:25,475 --> 01:02:30,414
* I'm every woman *

1243
01:02:30,447 --> 01:02:33,918
* I'm every
woman *

1244
01:02:33,951 --> 01:02:38,422
* I'm every woman *

1245
01:02:38,455 --> 01:02:42,659
* I'm every woman... *

1246
01:02:42,692 --> 01:02:44,261
BLANCA:
Ooh, fiancé.

1247
01:02:44,294 --> 01:02:46,330
Ooh, I like the way that sounds.

1248
01:02:46,363 --> 01:02:48,632
So, where are my two fiancés
going to celebrate?

1249
01:02:48,665 --> 01:02:49,934
IHOP.

1250
01:02:49,967 --> 01:02:51,568
Then I'm taking this one
straight home,

1251
01:02:51,601 --> 01:02:52,837
so that we could pack
for the trip tomorrow.

1252
01:02:52,870 --> 01:02:54,338
I'm so proud of y'all.

1253
01:02:54,371 --> 01:02:56,440
You know how good it feels
to know

1254
01:02:56,473 --> 01:02:58,675
your children have each other
till death do them part?

1255
01:02:58,708 --> 01:03:00,010
LIL PAPI:
Hey, don't do it, Ma.

1256
01:03:00,044 --> 01:03:01,678
I don't want to start crying.

1257
01:03:01,711 --> 01:03:03,113
Ah, you're such a drama queen.

1258
01:03:03,147 --> 01:03:04,581
I got feelings.

1259
01:03:04,614 --> 01:03:05,950
ANGEL:
So, you coming with us

1260
01:03:05,983 --> 01:03:08,252
-to get pancakes?
-Nah. Your mother is worn out,

1261
01:03:08,285 --> 01:03:10,120
and Pray Tell is in there,
washing his face

1262
01:03:10,154 --> 01:03:11,989
and putting on
some sensible shoes to wear.

1263
01:03:12,022 --> 01:03:13,790
And then he's taking me home.

1264
01:03:13,824 --> 01:03:17,327
Well, madame, we'll be having
a Tooty Fruity Fresh 'N Fruity

1265
01:03:17,361 --> 01:03:18,762
-in your honor.
-(laughs)

1266
01:03:18,795 --> 01:03:20,664
Oh.

1267
01:03:20,697 --> 01:03:23,300
-Love you.
-I love you, too.

1268
01:03:25,302 --> 01:03:27,271
-I love you.
-I love you, too.

1269
01:03:27,304 --> 01:03:28,873
Y'all get home safe.

1270
01:03:28,906 --> 01:03:30,941
-We will.
-Okay.

1271
01:03:30,975 --> 01:03:32,977
Pray, hurry up!

1272
01:03:33,010 --> 01:03:34,845
-Tell him I said bye.
-I will, and hey,

1273
01:03:34,879 --> 01:03:37,547
make sure y'all don't forget to
send me a postcard from Germany!

1274
01:03:37,581 --> 01:03:39,917
Yup.

1275
01:03:43,921 --> 01:03:45,389
Hey.

1276
01:03:47,591 --> 01:03:49,994
Come over here.

1277
01:03:54,331 --> 01:03:55,966
What are y'all names?

1278
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,736
I'm Quincy, and this is Chris,
but she goes by Chilly.

1279
01:03:59,769 --> 01:04:02,206
-Well, does she have a voice?
-Yeah.

1280
01:04:02,239 --> 01:04:05,642
Then use it. You want
to get ahead in this world,

1281
01:04:05,675 --> 01:04:07,978
you're gonna have to learn
to speak up for yourself.

1282
01:04:08,012 --> 01:04:09,813
How old are you two?

1283
01:04:09,846 --> 01:04:11,081
14.

1284
01:04:11,115 --> 01:04:12,582
Um, 14.

1285
01:04:12,616 --> 01:04:13,884
We just got here a month ago.

1286
01:04:13,918 --> 01:04:15,585
I'm from Denver.

1287
01:04:15,619 --> 01:04:17,988
CHILLY:
We both got kicked out
of our houses.

1288
01:04:18,022 --> 01:04:19,223
We met out on the piers.

1289
01:04:19,256 --> 01:04:20,724
The piers?

1290
01:04:20,757 --> 01:04:22,426
Is that where y'all sleeping?

1291
01:04:22,459 --> 01:04:25,662
What about food?

1292
01:04:25,695 --> 01:04:27,597
Y'all stealing?

1293
01:04:27,631 --> 01:04:31,535
Come on, talk to me.
There's no shame in surviving.

1294
01:04:31,568 --> 01:04:33,203
Sometimes.

1295
01:04:33,237 --> 01:04:36,073
Or dumpster-dive
or find ways to get money.

1296
01:04:38,075 --> 01:04:39,209
You like this?

1297
01:04:40,477 --> 01:04:41,845
You want one of your own?

1298
01:04:41,878 --> 01:04:43,647
Yeah.

1299
01:04:45,382 --> 01:04:47,184
You sang real good tonight.

1300
01:04:47,217 --> 01:04:49,086
I mean, I know
it wasn't really you singing.

1301
01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:51,221
Okay, well, listen, the only way

1302
01:04:51,255 --> 01:04:54,925
to win a trophy is
if you work really hard.

1303
01:04:54,959 --> 01:04:57,427
Now, I got some tricks
up my sleeve.

1304
01:04:57,461 --> 01:04:59,930
I can teach you if you want.

1305
01:05:02,099 --> 01:05:03,633
Y'all hungry?

1306
01:05:03,667 --> 01:05:05,102
Yeah.

1307
01:05:05,135 --> 01:05:07,104
Good, 'cause I know
a good place we can eat.

1308
01:05:08,138 --> 01:05:09,974
Oh.

1309
01:05:10,007 --> 01:05:12,442
Who do we have here?

1310
01:05:12,476 --> 01:05:14,478
-Well, this is Quincy.
-Hi.

1311
01:05:14,511 --> 01:05:16,613
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you, too.

1312
01:05:16,646 --> 01:05:18,983
-And I'm Chilly.
-Hi. I'm Pray Tell.

1313
01:05:19,016 --> 01:05:20,817
Nice to meet you, too.

1314
01:05:22,019 --> 01:05:25,289
-Y'all coming with us?
-Yeah.

1315
01:05:25,322 --> 01:05:27,324
Let's go home.

1316
01:05:29,526 --> 01:05:30,627
PRAY TELL:
You hungry?

1317
01:05:30,660 --> 01:05:32,096
Mm-hmm.

1318
01:05:32,129 --> 01:05:33,397
Well, let's get you
something to eat.

1319
01:05:33,430 --> 01:05:35,732
-Yeah.
-What you want to eat?

1320
01:05:35,765 --> 01:05:36,800
QUINCY:
I don't know. Anything.

1321
01:05:36,833 --> 01:05:38,102
PRAY TELL:
What you got a taste for?

1322
01:05:38,135 --> 01:05:39,103
CHILLY:
Anything.

1323
01:05:39,136 --> 01:05:40,637
PRAY TELL:
You got to be specific.

1324
01:05:40,670 --> 01:05:42,072
-QUINCY: A burger.
-PRAY TELL: A burger?

1325
01:05:42,106 --> 01:05:44,108
-QUINCY: Some fries.
-A burger and some fries.

1326
01:05:44,141 --> 01:05:46,076
-Yeah.
-Well, we got to get you
some vegetables, too.

1327
01:05:46,110 --> 01:05:48,278
-BLANCA: Right.
-You can't just have the...

1328
01:05:48,312 --> 01:05:50,114
you know, fattening stuff.

1329
01:05:50,147 --> 01:05:52,082
You have to have the stuff
that's good for you, too.

1330
01:05:52,116 --> 01:05:53,517
-QUINCY: Nobody having
no vegetables.
-(Pray Tell laughs)

1331
01:05:53,550 --> 01:05:55,852

Oh, you got
to eat your vegetables.

01:07:26,310 --> 01:07:30,714
I will bring you all down,

a different game now.

01:07:38,288 --> 01:07:40,590

-There's nothing to talk about.

-What we did was personal.

1339

You can't make people
like you,

1343
01:08:00,344 --> 01:08:02,746
but if people
don't respect you,

1344
01:08:02,779 --> 01:08:04,248
you can make 'em fear you.
