1
00:00:12,250 --> 00:00:13,947
Hey, Dave. What's going on?
2
00:00:13,991 --> 00:00:16,037
Oh, hey, Calvin. Just picking upmy new lawn signs
3
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:17,603
for the campaign.
4
00:00:17,647 --> 00:00:19,953
[grunts]
What do you think?
5
00:00:21,390 --> 00:00:23,174
I think you're gonna look greatwith a blacked out tooth
6
00:00:23,218 --> 00:00:25,002
and the word "dork"
across your forehead.
7
00:00:27,222 --> 00:00:29,702
Yeah, I didn't think about
the kids vandalizing my signs.
8
00:00:29,746 --> 00:00:31,878
Who said anything about kids?
9
00:00:31,922 --> 00:00:33,184
[chuckles]
10
00:00:33,228 --> 00:00:35,056
So you're really gonna
go through with this?
11
00:00:35,099 --> 00:00:38,102
Hell, yeah. Look, we need
stronger schools, safer parks,
12
00:00:38,146 --> 00:00:39,756
and when it comes
to our city government,
13
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:42,454
we need to have
an open dialogue.Well, great.
14
00:00:42,498 --> 00:00:44,587
You open that one,and I'll close this one.
15
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:46,719
I'm serious, Calvin.
16
00:00:46,763 --> 00:00:48,373
We need strong representation,
17
00:00:48,417 --> 00:00:50,636
and we haven't been getting
it from Isaiah Evans.
18
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,292
Look, Isaiah has beenour councilman for a long time.
19
00:00:54,336 --> 00:00:55,554
People love him.
20
00:00:55,598 --> 00:00:57,208
He led the march on Washington.
21
00:00:57,252 --> 00:00:59,210
You mean with
Martin Luther King?
22
00:00:59,254 --> 00:01:02,605
No. The marchon Washington Boulevard.
23
00:01:04,172 --> 00:01:07,218
We wanted that Chipotle,and he got it for us.
24
00:01:07,262 --> 00:01:09,525
Okay, but that was
a long time ago,
25
00:01:09,568 --> 00:01:11,266
and he hasn't done
anything since.
26
00:01:11,309 --> 00:01:13,790
Calvin, don't you want someone
who's gonna roll up his sleeves
27
00:01:13,833 --> 00:01:15,487
and make an impact
on this community?
28
00:01:15,531 --> 00:01:18,447
Nope. I don't like governmenttelling me what to do.
29
00:01:18,490 --> 00:01:20,275
I got Tina for that.
30
00:01:21,972 --> 00:01:23,887
♪ Welcome to the block,
welcome to the neighborhood ♪
31
00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:25,106
♪ Welcome to the hood.
32
00:01:33,157 --> 00:01:35,028
Hi, this is Dave Johnson.
33
00:01:35,072 --> 00:01:36,291
I'm running for city council,
34
00:01:36,334 --> 00:01:38,075
and I'm calling
to ask for your support.
35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,731
Yeah, I'm the white guy.
36
00:01:42,732 --> 00:01:44,821
Well, yes, Dave is the one
37
00:01:44,864 --> 00:01:47,040
who got the speed bumpput in on Evergreen.
38
00:01:47,084 --> 00:01:48,694
[chuckles]
39
00:01:48,738 --> 00:01:51,044
Oh, you hit it too hardand messed up your alignment?
40
00:01:51,088 --> 00:01:52,655
[chuckles]
41
00:01:52,698 --> 00:01:54,744
Well, take it on down
to Calvin's Pit Stop
42
00:01:54,787 --> 00:01:55,919
and vote for Dave Johnson.
43
00:02:04,232 --> 00:02:07,017
Grover, you are
licking too slow.
44
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:09,802
You are dabbing when
you should be sliding.
45
00:02:09,846 --> 00:02:11,326
Here, let me show you.
[clears throat]
46
00:02:11,369 --> 00:02:14,503
Ah... Aah! Paper cut!
47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,508
Now you're bleedingwhen you should be dabbing.
48
00:02:22,163 --> 00:02:24,991
So, I was thinking of invitingthe women from the neighborhood
49
00:02:25,035 --> 00:02:27,429
for an elegant
ladies' afternoon.
50
00:02:27,472 --> 00:02:29,431
You know,
put out the good china,
51
00:02:29,474 --> 00:02:31,955
serve some tea and scones.
52
00:02:31,998 --> 00:02:34,610
Tea and scones?Is Dave going to be a councilman
53
00:02:34,653 --> 00:02:35,872
or a Disney princess?
54
00:02:35,915 --> 00:02:37,395
[chuckles]
55
00:02:38,875 --> 00:02:40,355
I'm just trying to help him.
56
00:02:40,398 --> 00:02:42,008
Most of the neighborhood
just knows him
57
00:02:42,052 --> 00:02:44,881
as the jogger in short shorts
who's terrified of squirrels.
58
00:02:47,666 --> 00:02:48,798
Hey, hey.
59
00:02:48,841 --> 00:02:50,321
Ooh, well, well, well.
60
00:02:50,365 --> 00:02:52,497
Look who showed up to volunteer.
61
00:02:52,541 --> 00:02:56,545
So, Calvin, you finally ready
to ride the Dave wave?
62
00:02:57,894 --> 00:02:59,287
[chuckles]:
No.
63
00:02:59,330 --> 00:03:01,202
Tina told me
there was a deli tray.
64
00:03:01,245 --> 00:03:02,507
Forget the Dave wave.
65
00:03:02,551 --> 00:03:04,422
I'm ready
to jump on the ham tram.
66
00:03:07,251 --> 00:03:09,253
You know, I don't get it.Why won't you support me?
67
00:03:09,297 --> 00:03:10,907
I supported youwhen Old Miss Kim accused you
68
00:03:10,950 --> 00:03:12,213
of stealingher garden gnome.
69
00:03:12,256 --> 00:03:14,040
That's because I didn't do it.
70
00:03:14,084 --> 00:03:15,477
I was just the lookout.
71
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:19,089
I'm serious, Calvin.
72
00:03:19,132 --> 00:03:21,918
You know, people around herereally look up to you,
73
00:03:21,961 --> 00:03:24,790
and your endorsementcould help my campaign.
74
00:03:24,834 --> 00:03:28,011
And I'd give it to you, Dave,
except for one small problem.
75
00:03:28,054 --> 00:03:29,839
This deli tray has
76
00:03:29,882 --> 00:03:31,536
a better chance of winning
than you do.
77
00:03:32,624 --> 00:03:35,497
Ooh, spicy mustard.
78
00:03:36,541 --> 00:03:39,152
I wouldn't underestimatemy husband.
79
00:03:39,196 --> 00:03:41,372
Back in Kalamazoo,he got them to shut down
80
00:03:41,416 --> 00:03:42,895
the strip clubnext to the school.
81
00:03:42,939 --> 00:03:44,288
Oh, good for him.
82
00:03:44,332 --> 00:03:45,855
Yeah, I was so proud.
83
00:03:45,898 --> 00:03:48,466
Even though it put
half my cousins out of work.
84
00:03:51,252 --> 00:03:52,601
This isn't Kalamazoo.
85
00:03:52,644 --> 00:03:54,385
This neighborhood is 80% black,
86
00:03:54,429 --> 00:03:56,822
and Dave is 100% white.
87
00:03:57,997 --> 00:04:00,217
110% when he wears his Crocs.
88
00:04:01,262 --> 00:04:03,742
You know, so what if I'm white?
89
00:04:03,786 --> 00:04:05,614
This community will vote
for the best person
90
00:04:05,657 --> 00:04:07,137
for the job.That's what I believe.
91
00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:10,009
And I believe I'm gonna
take my sandwich to go.
92
00:04:10,053 --> 00:04:12,316
All aboard
the ham tram!
93
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,579
Toot, toot!
94
00:04:19,323 --> 00:04:22,283
Well, I hope
you're happy.
95
00:04:22,326 --> 00:04:25,024
Oh, I am. You know,
I had my doubts at first,
96
00:04:25,068 --> 00:04:27,636
but spicy mustard
was the way to go.
97
00:04:29,986 --> 00:04:31,379
I'm talking about Dave.
98
00:04:31,422 --> 00:04:33,294
We're all over there
supporting him.
99
00:04:33,337 --> 00:04:35,948
Why won't you?Because
100
00:04:35,992 --> 00:04:37,428
I don't want him to look like
101
00:04:37,472 --> 00:04:39,517
the white guy
who thinks he knows better,
102
00:04:39,561 --> 00:04:42,781
swooping in to fix
all the black folks' problems.
103
00:04:42,825 --> 00:04:44,392
If I wanted a white savior,
104
00:04:44,435 --> 00:04:47,003
I'd watch Sandra Bullock
in The Blind Side.
105
00:04:50,441 --> 00:04:52,443
Calvin, you love that movie.
106
00:04:52,487 --> 00:04:53,923
I don't love that movie.
107
00:04:53,966 --> 00:04:55,751
I just said,
"Don't change the channel."
108
00:04:56,795 --> 00:04:59,320
Okay, you're right.
109
00:04:59,363 --> 00:05:01,626
Some people may think
Dave is that way.
110
00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:03,889
But that's not who he is,
and you know that.
111
00:05:03,933 --> 00:05:06,936
That's because
I'm an evolved man, Tina.
112
00:05:08,503 --> 00:05:10,243
You can't expect
the rest of the neighborhood
113
00:05:10,287 --> 00:05:12,333
to be as open-minded as me.
114
00:05:14,422 --> 00:05:16,337
Open-minded?
Seriously?
115
00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:17,860
You refuse to
watch a movie
116
00:05:17,903 --> 00:05:19,514
if it has subtitles.
117
00:05:19,557 --> 00:05:23,039
If I wanted to read,
I'd get an audiobook.
118
00:05:25,041 --> 00:05:28,653
All I know is Dave cares
about this community.
119
00:05:28,697 --> 00:05:30,176
Councilman Evans
120
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:31,830
has been coasting for years.
121
00:05:31,874 --> 00:05:33,223
All he ever does is brag
122
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:35,007
about the time
he met Eddie Murphy.
123
00:05:35,051 --> 00:05:37,009
Tina, but you got to admit,
124
00:05:37,053 --> 00:05:39,055
that's a great storyright there.
125
00:05:39,098 --> 00:05:40,361
I mean,
126
00:05:40,404 --> 00:05:42,667
the same car washon the same day?
127
00:05:42,711 --> 00:05:44,713
That's destiny.
128
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,065
Okay, fine. Do what you want,
but I'm supporting our friend.
129
00:05:49,108 --> 00:05:51,763
So am I. I'm protecting him.
130
00:05:51,807 --> 00:05:54,853
I don't want to see anybody
attack or ridicule him.
131
00:05:54,897 --> 00:05:57,378
You ridicule himall the time.
132
00:05:57,421 --> 00:05:59,554
But I do it
from a place of love.
133
00:05:59,597 --> 00:06:01,294
What?
134
00:06:01,338 --> 00:06:02,513
I love doing it.
135
00:06:02,557 --> 00:06:03,906
[laughs]
136
00:06:06,648 --> 00:06:08,258
Calvin, I can't tell you
137
00:06:08,301 --> 00:06:10,086
how much it means to
have your endorsement.
138
00:06:10,129 --> 00:06:11,957
Oh, I'm notendorsing you.
139
00:06:12,001 --> 00:06:14,177
I just brought youto the barbershop to show you
140
00:06:14,220 --> 00:06:16,309
what the people around herethink about you running.
141
00:06:16,353 --> 00:06:18,224
[chuckles]:Plus, I can't wait
142
00:06:18,268 --> 00:06:21,663
till the fellas hear howyou shut down the strip club.
143
00:06:23,708 --> 00:06:26,189
Well, you'll see. I'm gonna
get plenty of support.
144
00:06:26,232 --> 00:06:29,105
After all, you know, I'm
down with Que and the guys.
145
00:06:29,148 --> 00:06:30,498
I just brought a
squash casserole
146
00:06:30,541 --> 00:06:31,934
over to the shop last week.
147
00:06:31,977 --> 00:06:33,718
Dave,
148
00:06:33,762 --> 00:06:37,461
there's nothing downabout a squash casserole.
149
00:06:37,505 --> 00:06:41,160
There will be once they get
their cholesterol checked.
150
00:06:44,729 --> 00:06:46,470
Hey, shop.
151
00:06:46,514 --> 00:06:47,863
What's up, man?Hey, Calvin.
152
00:06:47,906 --> 00:06:49,255
Hey, Calvin.Hey, Dave.
153
00:06:49,299 --> 00:06:51,257
What's up, Dave?Yo, Dave.
154
00:06:51,301 --> 00:06:54,826
Did you get that thank you noteI sent you for the casserole?
155
00:06:56,045 --> 00:06:57,394
You hear that, Calvin?
156
00:06:57,438 --> 00:06:59,875
He loved it.
157
00:06:59,918 --> 00:07:02,181
And the serving dish it
came in was great, too.
158
00:07:02,225 --> 00:07:04,096
I sold it for ten bucks.
159
00:07:05,141 --> 00:07:06,969
Cool. Cool.
160
00:07:07,012 --> 00:07:08,405
Got that in Peru.
161
00:07:08,449 --> 00:07:11,234
Uh, so, you guys might've heard
162
00:07:11,277 --> 00:07:12,757
that I'm running
for city council.
163
00:07:12,801 --> 00:07:14,803
Yeah, we heard.
[laughing][laughing]
164
00:07:16,457 --> 00:07:19,155
I saw one of your signs.I thought it was hilarious.
165
00:07:19,198 --> 00:07:20,939
They drew eye patch, horns,
166
00:07:20,983 --> 00:07:22,767
and I don't want to saywhat you had in your mouth.
167
00:07:22,811 --> 00:07:24,465
[laughter]
168
00:07:26,771 --> 00:07:28,512
Why are youlooking at me?
169
00:07:28,556 --> 00:07:31,341
I just did the eye patchand the horns.
170
00:07:32,342 --> 00:07:33,778
O-Okay.
171
00:07:33,822 --> 00:07:35,301
[chuckles]:
I-I'm starting to get the vibe
172
00:07:35,345 --> 00:07:37,652
that, uh, some of you
might be skeptical.
173
00:07:37,695 --> 00:07:39,305
But, you know, I've got
some really great ideas
174
00:07:39,349 --> 00:07:41,177
about the neighborhood that I
think might change your minds.
175
00:07:41,220 --> 00:07:42,308
Uh, I got a question.
176
00:07:42,352 --> 00:07:44,920
Great. Fire away.
177
00:07:44,963 --> 00:07:46,965
Was that an Old Bay seasoning
you used in that casserole,
178
00:07:47,009 --> 00:07:48,227
or was it Lawry's?
179
00:07:50,316 --> 00:07:51,927
Any other questions?
180
00:07:51,970 --> 00:07:53,276
Oh, yeah.
181
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:54,799
That are notabout the casserole.
182
00:07:54,843 --> 00:07:57,106
Oh.
183
00:07:57,149 --> 00:07:58,977
Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen.
184
00:07:59,021 --> 00:08:00,979
Oh, oh, oh!ALL:
Hey.
185
00:08:01,023 --> 00:08:03,025
Councilman.Hey.
186
00:08:03,068 --> 00:08:05,027
I just wanted to drop in
and say hi
187
00:08:05,070 --> 00:08:07,377
to some
of my finest constituents.
188
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:08,552
And Trey.
189
00:08:08,596 --> 00:08:09,858
[laughs]
190
00:08:09,901 --> 00:08:11,729
You always got jokes,Councilman. [laughs]
191
00:08:11,773 --> 00:08:13,731
Yeah, and you always got
a court date.
192
00:08:13,775 --> 00:08:15,559
[laughter]You got him.
193
00:08:15,603 --> 00:08:17,605
Come on.
194
00:08:17,648 --> 00:08:19,694
Wow, so that's
Councilman Evans, huh?
195
00:08:19,737 --> 00:08:21,260
He's really charming.
196
00:08:21,304 --> 00:08:23,088
Yeah, and waittill you feel his handshake.
197
00:08:23,132 --> 00:08:26,527
It's smoother than margarinemelting on a hot roll.
198
00:08:26,570 --> 00:08:28,703
Calvin Butler.
199
00:08:28,746 --> 00:08:31,227
Yeah.Hey. How'sthat beautiful Tina?
200
00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:32,663
Well, she's married to me,
201
00:08:32,707 --> 00:08:34,230
so she's blessed.[laughs]
202
00:08:34,273 --> 00:08:35,579
Yeah.
203
00:08:35,623 --> 00:08:38,103
Uh, Councilman.
I'm Dave Johnson.
204
00:08:38,147 --> 00:08:40,584
Dave Johnson.The competition.
205
00:08:40,628 --> 00:08:41,629
[chuckles]
206
00:08:41,672 --> 00:08:44,762
It is greatto finally meet you.
207
00:08:44,806 --> 00:08:47,243
It is good to meet you, too.
208
00:08:47,286 --> 00:08:49,201
Oh, my God,it's like a buttery hug.
209
00:08:50,986 --> 00:08:52,944
I've been doingmy homework on you,
210
00:08:52,988 --> 00:08:56,121
and it looks like youare ready to run a good race.
211
00:08:56,905 --> 00:08:58,559
Probably in short shorts.
212
00:08:58,602 --> 00:09:01,039
[laughter]
213
00:09:01,083 --> 00:09:03,955
Well, you know, Councilman,
now that you're here, uh,
214
00:09:03,999 --> 00:09:06,392
I have a question
for you.Go right ahead.
215
00:09:06,436 --> 00:09:08,438
Well, I'm just curious on how
216
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:10,396
you plan on approaching the
shortage of schoolteachers
217
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,356
that our district
is currently facing.
218
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:14,662
Hmm.
219
00:09:14,705 --> 00:09:16,489
Mmm.
220
00:09:16,533 --> 00:09:19,057
Mm-hmm.
221
00:09:19,101 --> 00:09:20,668
Dave, that is
222
00:09:20,711 --> 00:09:23,061
a very important issue,and I'm glad
223
00:09:23,105 --> 00:09:25,063
you brought that up.
224
00:09:25,107 --> 00:09:26,978
Our teacher shortage
225
00:09:27,022 --> 00:09:29,415
is a real challenge.Yeah. Right on.Yes, sir.
226
00:09:29,459 --> 00:09:32,897
It is a challenge
that we shall meet together
227
00:09:32,941 --> 00:09:35,030
as a community.All right. All right.
228
00:09:35,073 --> 00:09:36,597
And speaking of meeting,
229
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,382
did y'all hear my storyabout how I met Eddie Murphy?
230
00:09:39,425 --> 00:09:41,427
[excited chatter]
231
00:09:42,472 --> 00:09:43,691
Let Dave in here.
232
00:09:43,734 --> 00:09:45,649
He ain't heard
it yet. Come on.
233
00:09:45,693 --> 00:09:47,520
I was getting my car washed.Okay.
234
00:09:47,564 --> 00:09:49,348
He was getting his car washed.No!
235
00:09:49,392 --> 00:09:52,395
I look over at him.
He looks back at me.What?
236
00:09:52,438 --> 00:09:53,918
He said...[imitates Eddie Murphy laughing]
237
00:09:53,962 --> 00:09:55,616
[indistinct shouting]For real!
238
00:09:55,659 --> 00:09:57,618
He... Just like in the movies!
239
00:09:57,661 --> 00:10:00,098
He laughs like in the movies!
240
00:10:00,142 --> 00:10:01,752
I can't believe it.
241
00:10:01,796 --> 00:10:04,625
Councilman Evanstotally dodged my question.
242
00:10:04,668 --> 00:10:06,844
[chuckles]But can you believe
243
00:10:06,888 --> 00:10:10,108
that him and Eddie Murphyboth use cinnamon air freshener?
244
00:10:10,152 --> 00:10:13,024
Wow.
245
00:10:13,068 --> 00:10:15,113
No. Not wow.
246
00:10:15,157 --> 00:10:18,290
If anything deserves a "wow,"
it's my five-point plan.
247
00:10:18,334 --> 00:10:20,118
Each point has five
points of its own.
248
00:10:20,162 --> 00:10:21,467
It's a 25-point plan.
249
00:10:21,511 --> 00:10:24,688
That's 25 wows.
250
00:10:24,732 --> 00:10:26,951
[sighs]Look, Dave, the bottom line is
251
00:10:26,995 --> 00:10:28,431
to half of the people,
252
00:10:28,474 --> 00:10:30,128
you're the white guywho's new in town.
253
00:10:30,172 --> 00:10:32,522
To the other half,you're the new guy who's white.
254
00:10:33,958 --> 00:10:35,960
Hey. Yo, Dave,
255
00:10:36,004 --> 00:10:38,136
you got some explaining
to do, man.
256
00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:39,224
What are you
talking about?
257
00:10:39,268 --> 00:10:40,835
Isaiah posteda picture of you online,
258
00:10:40,878 --> 00:10:42,706
standing nextto a Confederate flag.
259
00:10:42,750 --> 00:10:44,360
What?Well, that's crazy.
260
00:10:44,403 --> 00:10:45,361
I would never--
261
00:10:45,404 --> 00:10:46,797
Oh. Yeah, that's me.
262
00:10:52,847 --> 00:10:55,066
You better start explaining
why you're in a picture
263
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:58,287
posing next to a cake
with a Confederate flag on it.
264
00:10:58,330 --> 00:11:00,115
Calvin, you don't understand.
265
00:11:00,158 --> 00:11:03,466
Look, that picture was
from my tenth birthday party.
266
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:05,076
Well, what'd you do
when you turned 11,
267
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,295
go to a Klan rally?
268
00:11:08,776 --> 00:11:10,734
Isaiah cropped the picture.
269
00:11:10,778 --> 00:11:13,041
Look, the theme of the party
was The Dukes of Hazzard.
270
00:11:13,084 --> 00:11:15,173
That flag is on their car.
271
00:11:15,217 --> 00:11:17,088
I had no idea what it meant.
272
00:11:17,132 --> 00:11:18,742
I'll tell you what it means now.
273
00:11:18,786 --> 00:11:21,005
You can forgetabout being on the city council.
274
00:11:21,049 --> 00:11:23,878
In fact, I wouldn't even get
on a city bus.
275
00:11:25,401 --> 00:11:26,619
This is a disaster.
276
00:11:26,663 --> 00:11:27,882
I'm gonna go talk to Gemma.
277
00:11:27,925 --> 00:11:30,362
Why didn't I havean A-Teamparty?
278
00:11:30,406 --> 00:11:32,756
Everybody loves Mr. T.
279
00:11:34,149 --> 00:11:36,368
Aw, man, I can't
believe this.
280
00:11:36,412 --> 00:11:37,369
I called it.
281
00:11:37,413 --> 00:11:38,762
I knew this would happen.
282
00:11:38,806 --> 00:11:41,025
What? You knew
283
00:11:41,069 --> 00:11:43,636
Isaiah would finda 25-year-old picture
284
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:46,901
of Dave blowing out the candleson a Confederate flag cake?
285
00:11:46,944 --> 00:11:49,338
Yeah. I just didn't say it
out loud.
286
00:11:50,948 --> 00:11:52,907
Well, we got to help
him clear his name.
287
00:11:52,950 --> 00:11:55,605
How? His name is on the cake.
288
00:11:57,346 --> 00:11:58,913
Dad, Dave is your friend.
289
00:11:58,956 --> 00:12:00,262
You know he's not racist.
290
00:12:00,305 --> 00:12:01,393
I know that.
291
00:12:01,437 --> 00:12:03,091
But what am I supposed to do?
292
00:12:03,134 --> 00:12:06,877
Everyone who's seen that picturealready thinks he is.
293
00:12:06,921 --> 00:12:09,271
Which is exactly why we need
to help him.
294
00:12:09,314 --> 00:12:11,534
Because nobody knows better
than black people
295
00:12:11,577 --> 00:12:14,102
how painful it is to be labeledas something that you're not.
296
00:12:14,145 --> 00:12:16,844
Right, Pop?
297
00:12:16,887 --> 00:12:18,541
Damn it, Malcolm.
298
00:12:20,543 --> 00:12:22,327
Now I got to do the right thing.
299
00:12:22,371 --> 00:12:23,807
And that's on you.
300
00:12:27,115 --> 00:12:29,770
I can't believeIsaiah would do this.
301
00:12:29,813 --> 00:12:31,815
His handshakeisn't like a buttery hug.
302
00:12:31,859 --> 00:12:33,251
It's like a...
303
00:12:33,295 --> 00:12:35,688
Damn it! It islike a buttery hug!
304
00:12:37,473 --> 00:12:39,910
Well, two can play
at this game.
305
00:12:39,954 --> 00:12:42,434
I'm gonna dig up
some dirt on Isaiah
306
00:12:42,478 --> 00:12:44,567
and see how helikes it.What dirt?
307
00:12:44,610 --> 00:12:46,482
Like how he never does anything
308
00:12:46,525 --> 00:12:48,397
or is cheating on his wife
309
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,965
or how he embezzled millions
of dollars from the city.
310
00:12:51,008 --> 00:12:52,749
You found that online?
311
00:12:52,793 --> 00:12:53,924
No, I'm putting it there.
312
00:12:54,969 --> 00:12:56,100
Gemma,
313
00:12:56,144 --> 00:12:58,276
we are not gonna stoop
to his level.
314
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,365
Look, we just have
to face facts.
315
00:13:00,409 --> 00:13:02,280
I'm done.
316
00:13:02,324 --> 00:13:03,934
Don't talk like that.
317
00:13:03,978 --> 00:13:07,372
You have never backed down
from a fight in your life.
318
00:13:07,416 --> 00:13:09,331
Not even when my stripper
cousins jumped you
319
00:13:09,374 --> 00:13:10,636
at Nana's birthday.
320
00:13:11,637 --> 00:13:13,422
Yeah, that was no joke.
321
00:13:13,465 --> 00:13:16,338
Bambi threw glitter
right in my eyes.
322
00:13:16,381 --> 00:13:17,600
[knocking]
323
00:13:17,643 --> 00:13:18,601
Hey, Gemma.
324
00:13:18,644 --> 00:13:19,776
Hey, Dave.
325
00:13:19,820 --> 00:13:21,996
Are you here to say"I told you so"?
326
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:23,127
I wasn't.
327
00:13:23,171 --> 00:13:24,476
But now that you mention it,
328
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,695
it does feel right, doesn't it?
329
00:13:25,738 --> 00:13:28,524
Well,don't bother.
330
00:13:28,567 --> 00:13:30,526
I think it's pretty obvious thatI have to drop out of the race.
331
00:13:30,569 --> 00:13:32,528
Oh, Calvin,please talk some sense into him.
332
00:13:32,571 --> 00:13:33,964
I'll be upstairs.
333
00:13:34,008 --> 00:13:36,445
You're not gonna go post lies
about Isaiah, are you?
334
00:13:36,488 --> 00:13:38,751
Well, not anymore.
335
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,450
So whatdo you want?
336
00:13:41,493 --> 00:13:42,451
[grunts]
337
00:13:42,494 --> 00:13:43,669
Look,
338
00:13:43,713 --> 00:13:45,976
I know I told you
that you shouldn't run,
339
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:48,979
but I don't want to see
you go down like this.
340
00:13:49,023 --> 00:13:51,939
If Isaiah's willing to
stoop this low, then,
341
00:13:51,982 --> 00:13:53,854
clearly, we need some
change around here.
342
00:13:53,897 --> 00:13:55,856
Which is why you have my vote.
343
00:13:55,899 --> 00:13:57,945
Unless that line
is too long.
344
00:13:57,988 --> 00:13:59,990
Yeah.
345
00:14:00,034 --> 00:14:01,122
So you're gonna help me?
346
00:14:01,165 --> 00:14:02,340
Yes.
347
00:14:02,384 --> 00:14:03,994
But, first, we
need to find out
348
00:14:04,038 --> 00:14:06,127
if Isaiah has any
more dirt on you.
349
00:14:06,170 --> 00:14:07,519
Like, for Halloween,
350
00:14:07,563 --> 00:14:10,131
did you ever go as a
pointy-headed ghost?
351
00:14:15,397 --> 00:14:17,007
Hi, I'm calling
on behalf
352
00:14:17,051 --> 00:14:20,228
of the Dave Johnson for
City Council campaign--
353
00:14:20,271 --> 00:14:24,406
Oh, well, let me tell you
something about yomama...
354
00:14:24,449 --> 00:14:26,234
Hello?
355
00:14:26,277 --> 00:14:27,496
[sighs]Okay.
356
00:14:27,539 --> 00:14:29,715
