            Look at you.

00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:36,788
    [Hattie]   You like my uniform?

00:00:36,829 --> 00:00:38,039
      I'm a working woman now.      

4
00:00:38,081 --> 00:00:39,916
            If you want,            
   you can join my writers group.   

5
00:00:39,957 --> 00:00:42,460
       Text me the information      
       when you get a chance.       

6
00:00:42,502 --> 00:00:43,878
           Do you not want          
         to be seen with me?        

7
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,505
          Of course, I do.          
             I love you.            

8
00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:48,966
    Well, you've just been acting   
      really weird on socials.      

9
00:00:49,008 --> 00:00:50,802
         This could totally         
         blow up in my face.        

10
00:00:50,843 --> 00:00:52,887
          -It really could.         
      -But what if it doesn't?      

11
00:00:52,929 --> 00:00:55,807
    This is Chance. He was forced   
     to live with me in college.    

12
00:00:55,848 --> 00:00:57,934
    [Chance]   You should be honest   
              with Marie.            

13
00:00:57,975 --> 00:00:59,393
        [Chuck]   That's scary.       

14
00:00:59,435 --> 00:01:00,853
            [Chance]   Why?           

15
00:01:00,895 --> 00:01:02,980
     [Chuck]   'Cause I don't want    
              to lose her.

        Babe, at some point,        
       we need to pick a date.      

19
00:01:19,539 --> 00:01:21,124
           -Why the rush?           
       -Because we have to do       

20
00:01:21,165 --> 00:01:22,834
         at least six months        
      of premarital counseling.     

21
00:01:22,875 --> 00:01:24,836
            -Six months?            
               -Yeah.               

22
00:01:24,877 --> 00:01:26,254
    Marriage is not for the weak.   

23
00:01:26,295 --> 00:01:28,172
     That's what I keep hearing.    

24
00:01:28,214 --> 00:01:29,590
           We'll be fine.           

25
00:01:31,509 --> 00:01:35,012
         Why did you come in        
         so late last night?        

26
00:01:35,054 --> 00:01:36,973
            Me and Chance           
       were just catching up.       

27
00:01:37,014 --> 00:01:39,308
       It was good to see him.      

28
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:41,477
                Yeah.               

29
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:44,397
         It's been a minute.        

30
00:01:44,438 --> 00:01:47,525
         He won't let you go       

31
00:01:47,567 --> 00:01:49,944
            And I know why         

32
00:01:49,986 --> 00:01:52,822
           He wouldn't show        

33
00:01:52,864 --> 00:01:54,824
        So I'ma make you mine      

34
00:01:54,866 --> 00:01:56,617
             I don't mind

      but I just got verified!

         [giggles excitedly]

00:02:58,054 --> 00:02:59,222
      I hope that doesn't mean      

52
00:02:59,263 --> 00:03:00,598
         you're gonna start         
          charging us more.         

53
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,476
     -Do people really do that?     
         -Oh, all the time.         

54
00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:06,604
                Okay.               
    Well, I will be a good person   

55
00:03:06,646 --> 00:03:08,940
    and keep my prices the same.    

56
00:03:08,981 --> 00:03:11,192
            all: Namaste.           

57
00:03:11,234 --> 00:03:15,947
     But also, as a Black woman,    
   I do need you to know my worth. 

58
00:03:15,988 --> 00:03:18,699
      And my time and my gifts      
         are very valuable.         

59
00:03:18,741 --> 00:03:20,993
      So if my prices do go up,     

60
00:03:21,035 --> 00:03:23,579
   don't talk shit in my comments. 

61

            Let us begin.           

62
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:35,967
            I am so sorry           
      to keep you all waiting.      

63
00:03:36,008 --> 00:03:38,844
       I'm Reverend Ty Harmon.      

64
00:03:38,886 --> 00:03:40,721
          All right, um...          

65
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:45,268
        I am so sorry to hear       
   of the passing of your mother.   

66
00:03:45,309 --> 00:03:48,354
     But she lived a long life,     
        she loved the Lord--        

67
00:03:48,396 --> 00:03:49,730
         Uh, that's not us.         

68
00:03:49,772 --> 00:03:51,983
      Yeah, both of our mothers     
        are very much alive.        

69
00:03:52,024 --> 00:03:53,025
             Oh, um--oh!            

70
00:03:53,067 --> 00:03:54,986
      Right, you're the couple      
        who can only have sex       

71
00:03:55,027 --> 00:03:55,987
      while listening to K-pop.     

72
00:03:56,028 --> 00:03:57,571
                -No.                
     -No, that's not us either.     

73
00:03:57,613 --> 00:03:59,740
               -Um...               
        -Big BTS fans though.       

74
00:03:59,782 --> 00:04:01,742
            Here you are.           
          Chuck and Marie?          

75
00:04:01,784 --> 00:04:02,827
                -Yes.               
               -Okay.               

76
00:04:02,868 --> 00:04:04,412
             All right,             
     so what are your pronouns?     

77
00:04:04,453 --> 00:04:06,038
              -She/her.             
              -He/him.              

78
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,707
             Okay, cool.            
         Mine are they/them.        

79
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:11,877
     All right, so, no date set     
        for the ceremony yet?       

80
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:13,879
              Not yet,              
    but we're narrowing it down.    

81
00:04:13,921 --> 00:04:16,590
    No rush. You'll have the rest   
       of your lives together.      

82
00:04:16,632 --> 00:04:19,468
     And that means we have more    
   time to get to know each other. 

83
00:04:19,510 --> 00:04:20,845
         First things first,        

84
00:04:20,886 --> 00:04:23,431
           I need you two           
         to finish this form        

85
00:04:23,472 --> 00:04:24,598
      before our next session.      

86
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,767
            Here you go.            

87
00:04:26,809 --> 00:04:28,185
       No need to be alarmed.       

88
00:04:28,227 --> 00:04:30,021
         There are no right         
          or wrong answers.         

89
00:04:30,062 --> 00:04:31,272
        It's a questionnaire        

90
00:04:31,314 --> 00:04:35,151
    that requires you all to look   
    very honestly at yourselves,    

91
00:04:35,192 --> 00:04:38,821
          at your partner,          
       and your relationship.       

92
00:04:38,863 --> 00:04:40,072
         Now, it's important        

93
00:04:40,114 --> 00:04:42,283
       that you all have some       
      private time to do this.      

94
00:04:42,325 --> 00:04:47,121
       Do not share or discuss      
    your answers with each other.   

95
00:04:47,163 --> 00:04:50,499
     This is going to help us to    
    determine where the strengths   

96
00:04:50,541 --> 00:04:55,212
     and, dare I say, weaknesses    
      are in your relationship      

97
00:04:55,254 --> 00:04:57,465
          so we know where          
     to start our conversations     

98
00:04:57,506 --> 00:04:58,674
        in the weeks to come.       

99
00:04:58,716 --> 00:05:00,051
        It sounds stressful.        

100
00:05:00,092 --> 00:05:02,178
    Not as stressful as divorce.    

101
00:05:03,846 --> 00:05:05,973
          Have a great day.         

102
00:05:06,015 --> 00:05:08,517
    [Idina] So, thank you all for   
   letting Hattie read your work,   

103
00:05:08,559 --> 00:05:10,436
   and thank you for reading hers. 

104
00:05:10,478 --> 00:05:11,645
    Hattie, we'll start with you.   

105
00:05:11,687 --> 00:05:13,647
         What did you think         
        of Jackson's script?        

106
00:05:13,689 --> 00:05:15,816
          [Hattie] Jackson?         

107
00:05:15,858 --> 00:05:18,110
        Uh, come back to me.        

108
00:05:18,152 --> 00:05:20,529
            I want to see           
       how y'all do it first.       

109
00:05:22,865 --> 00:05:25,868
           Please tell me           
    you read everybody's script.    

110
00:05:25,910 --> 00:05:28,996
          I did--I didn't.          
         I--look, I'm sorry.        

111
00:05:29,038 --> 00:05:31,082
          Things got crazy.         
   I'm trying to get this new job. 

112
00:05:31,123 --> 00:05:32,375
          Nia been getting          
         on my last nerve--         

113
00:05:32,416 --> 00:05:35,836
        We also don't believe       
      in excuses in this group.     

114
00:05:37,922 --> 00:05:39,090
               My bad.              

115
00:05:39,131 --> 00:05:42,551
         Look, I--I promise,        
       next week, I got y'all.      

116
00:05:44,011 --> 00:05:48,140
      If everybody's cool with      
   giving Hattie a second chance,   

117
00:05:48,182 --> 00:05:50,601
             I'm willing            
     to let her slide this time.    

118
00:05:56,065 --> 00:05:57,942
                Fine.               

119
00:05:57,983 --> 00:05:59,693
          All right, look,          
       it won't happen again.       

120
00:05:59,735 --> 00:06:02,238
             All right?             
             I promise.             

121
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,449
    All right. So I guess I will    
    start with Jackson's script.

          Man, I was dying.         
      You had me rolling, man.      

125
00:06:11,455 --> 00:06:12,915
            What made you           
         come up with this?         

126
00:06:12,957 --> 00:06:14,917
      [Jackson] Listen, I have      
     some crazy family members,     

127
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:17,628
      and when I can tell you,      
       I can write for days...      

128
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:21,006
           [singer whistling]        

129
00:06:21,048 --> 00:06:23,676
          Well, she's fallen       

130
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:27,680
           Looks sweet, yeah,       
         she is one of a kind       

131
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:31,100
          Yo, sorry, again,         
            about today.            

132
00:06:31,142 --> 00:06:34,311
    You just had to embarrass me,   
             didn't you?            

133
00:06:34,353 --> 00:06:37,106
             Yo, my bad.            
        Yo, Jackson was mad.        

134
00:06:37,148 --> 00:06:39,233
            -Yes, he was.           
             -[laughter]            

135
00:06:39,275 --> 00:06:41,444
     But that's the whole point     
    of being in a group, though.    

136
00:06:41,485 --> 00:06:43,946
     You got folks that's going     
      to hold you accountable.      

137
00:06:43,988 --> 00:06:47,241
         Yeah, I definitely         
      need more accountability,     

138
00:06:47,283 --> 00:06:50,453
      in all areas of my life.      

139
00:06:50,494 --> 00:06:53,330
     Normally, I would give you     
      one of my good Ted Talks,     

140
00:06:53,372 --> 00:06:56,041
         but I can't be late        
            for work, so.           

141
00:06:56,083 --> 00:06:58,210
           It's all good.           

142
00:06:58,252 --> 00:07:01,172
            Well, I guess           
      I'll catch you next time?     

143
00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:12,475
          Yo, thanks again          
          for inviting me.          

144
00:07:12,516 --> 00:07:14,685
         This is--it's dope.        

145
00:07:15,603 --> 00:07:17,021
             Of course.             

146
00:07:17,062 --> 00:07:19,523
    Just come prepared next time.   

147
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:21,817
             I got you.             

148
00:07:37,625 --> 00:07:40,169
           [phone ringing]          

149
00:07:40,211 --> 00:07:41,337
               -Hello?              
              -Hattie?              

150
00:07:41,378 --> 00:07:43,506
          I got good news,          
         and I got bad news.        

151
00:07:43,547 --> 00:07:45,382
             Hit me with            
        the good news first.        

152
00:07:45,424 --> 00:07:47,259
    Your job training is complete   

153
00:07:47,301 --> 00:07:50,846
       and you're now eligible      
    to earn money at the company.   

154
00:07:50,888 --> 00:07:53,140
              Amazing!              
        What's the bad news?        

155
00:07:53,182 --> 00:07:55,184
      -I'm not gonna hire you.      
              -Why not?             

156
00:07:55,226 --> 00:07:56,727
       You can't do this job.       

157
00:07:56,769 --> 00:07:59,522
           You don't have           
      any upper body strength.      

158
00:07:59,563 --> 00:08:01,315
           You talk too much.        

159
00:08:01,357 --> 00:08:02,983
          And you're always         
           on your phone.           

160
00:08:03,025 --> 00:08:04,777
              -Maurice?             
       -[notification chimes]       

161
00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:06,403
              Hold on.              
   Can I call you back real quick? 

162
00:08:06,445 --> 00:08:08,239
            No, you can't           
      call me back real quick.      

163
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,492
        The second I hang up,       
          I'm blocking you.         

164
00:08:11,534 --> 00:08:13,661
                Damn!               

165
00:08:49,363 --> 00:08:52,908
             All right.             
     Let's see what we got here.    

166
00:08:52,950 --> 00:08:54,118
                Okay.               

167
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,370
             Okay. Wow!             

168
00:08:56,412 --> 00:08:57,538
         Well, first of all,        

169
00:08:57,580 --> 00:09:00,708
    you two are highly compatible   
          in several areas.         

170
00:09:00,749 --> 00:09:05,296
     For example, you both rate     
     family as "very important."    

171
00:09:05,337 --> 00:09:06,672
          -Yes, definitely.         
         -It's so important.        

172
00:09:06,714 --> 00:09:08,716
      And also, you all are one     
    of the only couples I've seen   

173
00:09:08,757 --> 00:09:12,136
        to score so highly in       
    communication about finances.   

174
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:13,345
            Well, we know           
         that money troubles        

175
00:09:13,387 --> 00:09:14,555
   are a leading cause of divorce. 

176
00:09:14,597 --> 00:09:17,266
    Right. Communication is key.    
          It's everything.          

177
00:09:18,976 --> 00:09:22,271
         Wow. Well, this is         
          very impressive.          

178
00:09:22,313 --> 00:09:26,358
      All right, so let's talk      
        about the weaknesses.       

179
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,486
   Okay, in the section about sex, 

180
00:09:29,528 --> 00:09:33,991
        Marie, I noticed that       
     you marked sexual intimacy     

181
00:09:34,033 --> 00:09:36,118
         as "low importance"        
         in a relationship,         

182
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,455
      and, Chuck, you marked it     
       as "highly important."       

183
00:09:45,669 --> 00:09:48,922
      I'll remind you all that      
        this is a safe space.       

184
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:52,968
        I don't dislike sex.        

185
00:09:53,010 --> 00:09:54,678
       I just don't think that      

186
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,264
    it's the most important thing   
         in a relationship.         

187
00:09:57,306 --> 00:10:00,142
      And, just for the record,     
         I'm no sex maniac.         

188
00:10:00,184 --> 00:10:01,393
        And it would be fine        
            if you were,            

189
00:10:01,435 --> 00:10:03,604
        as long as everybody        
      you're getting wild with      

190
00:10:03,646 --> 00:10:05,606
        and wilding out with        
       is a consenting adult.       

191
00:10:05,648 --> 00:10:09,193
    Well, I only want to wild out   
             with Marie.            

192
00:10:09,234 --> 00:10:10,486
         [chuckles politely]        

193
00:10:10,527 --> 00:10:14,448
      And I also noticed that,      
     on the following question,     

194
00:10:14,490 --> 00:10:16,200
        you marked one thing,       

195
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:18,369
       and then you erased it       
   and you marked something else.   

196
00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:20,162
        -You don't have to--        
          -The question is,         

197
00:10:20,204 --> 00:10:22,039
          "How comfortable          
        are you communicating       

198
00:10:22,081 --> 00:10:24,333
         your sexual desires        
          to your partner?"         

199
00:10:24,375 --> 00:10:26,877
        Originally, you wrote       
         "very comfortable."        

200
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:27,920
   But then, you scratched it out   

201
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:30,798
            and you wrote           
        "fairly comfortable."       

202
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:34,802
    And, Marie, it looks like you   
   left that one blank altogether. 

203
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:40,265
          I don't remember          
            the question.           

204
00:10:40,307 --> 00:10:42,309
       Do you feel comfortable      

205
00:10:42,351 --> 00:10:45,646
            communicating           
    your sexual desires to Chuck?   

206
00:10:49,024 --> 00:10:52,986
         Sexual pleasure is         
          a gift from God.          

207
00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:55,364
           There's nothing          
          to be ashamed of.         

208
00:10:55,406 --> 00:10:58,283
          And a marriage is         
          the perfect union         

209
00:10:58,325 --> 00:11:00,536
     for you to explore, enjoy,     
             and embrace            

210
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:03,664
     all of your sexual desires     
         with your partner.         

211
00:11:08,627 --> 00:11:11,714
            Marie, maybe            
      we shouldn't get married.     

212
00:11:15,926 --> 00:11:17,594
              Why not?              

213
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:23,726
        Because I'm bisexual.       

214
00:11:28,981 --> 00:11:30,524
               I know.              

215
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:36,739
               You do?              

216
00:11:39,408 --> 00:11:42,911
                I...                

217
00:11:42,953 --> 00:11:45,539
     I always thought you were.     

218
00:11:45,581 --> 00:11:47,958
   I just didn't know what to say. 

219
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:53,088
    Just because you're bisexual    

220
00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:55,591
            doesn't mean            
       you can't get married.       

221
00:11:56,717 --> 00:11:58,594
      I've spent my whole life      
       trying to be straight.       

222
00:11:58,635 --> 00:12:00,804
            I don't know            
      how to be any other way.      

223
00:12:02,681 --> 00:12:05,225
     This is all very new to me.    

224
00:12:05,267 --> 00:12:08,312
         Sexuality is rarely        
        ever black and white.       

225
00:12:08,353 --> 00:12:10,439
            And it's okay           

226
00:12:10,481 --> 00:12:13,942
         that you are still         
           on the journey.          

227
00:12:13,984 --> 00:12:15,152
               It is?               

228
00:12:15,194 --> 00:12:17,488
             Of course.             

229
00:12:17,529 --> 00:12:22,785
      It took me so long to be      
     comfortable in my own body.    

230
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:26,914
         Everybody's journey        
            is different.           

231
00:12:26,955 --> 00:12:29,583
     Don't let anybody rush you.    

232
00:12:34,755 --> 00:12:39,343
      If you two don't show up      
          to this marriage          

233
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:42,429
          as your complete          

234
00:12:42,471 --> 00:12:45,098
        and authentic selves,       

235
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:47,100
            it will fail.           

236
00:12:50,521 --> 00:12:55,150
      So, are we still on track     
       to get you two hitched?      

237
00:12:58,904 --> 00:13:01,907
             gentle music          

238
00:13:01,949 --> 00:13:07,120
                                  

239
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:13,293
             -What's up?            
                -Hey.               

240
00:13:13,335 --> 00:13:15,796
            -Need a ride?           
       -No, I hate golf carts.      

241
00:13:15,838 --> 00:13:17,381
          When I was a kid,         
           I fell off one,          

242
00:13:17,422 --> 00:13:19,550
        cracked my head open,       
    and I had to get 24 stitches.   

243
00:13:19,591 --> 00:13:21,677
      -I still have the scars.      
          -Off a golf cart?         

244
00:13:21,718 --> 00:13:23,595
       It was a big golf cart.      

245
00:13:23,637 --> 00:13:26,056
        Okay, then, you mind        
         if I walk with you?        

246
00:13:26,098 --> 00:13:27,558
                Sure.               

247
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:32,437
       [Ben] So, you enjoying       
    your new life as an actress?    

248
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:35,440
    [exhales] Well, I still have    
    to teach yoga part-time, so.    

249
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:37,651
                -Why?               
           -I have bills.           

250
00:13:37,693 --> 00:13:40,404
             [chuckles]             
         Okay, then. Right.         

251
00:13:40,445 --> 00:13:44,533
       Yeah, not everybody has      
     a title and a fancy salary.    

252
00:13:44,575 --> 00:13:47,703
         I apologize for not        
    being aware of my privilege.    

253
00:13:47,744 --> 00:13:50,539
    -I was just messing with you.   
           -Oh, all right.          

254
00:13:50,581 --> 00:13:51,957
          I mean, no wonder         
           Black audiences          

255
00:13:51,999 --> 00:13:53,500
     don't want to see struggle     
           on the screen.           

256
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:55,460
        They see it every day       
           in their lives.          

257
00:13:55,502 --> 00:13:57,546
     Well, not all Black people     
           are struggling.          

258
00:13:57,588 --> 00:13:59,590
       True, but our ancestors      
     had struggles in the past,     

259
00:13:59,631 --> 00:14:01,800
       and it still haunts us       
            every night.            

260
00:14:01,842 --> 00:14:03,677
         What kind of roles         
       are you interested in?       

261
00:14:03,719 --> 00:14:05,762
             All kinds.             
           I want to play           

262
00:14:05,804 --> 00:14:08,432
      many different characters     
      with all kinds of layers.     

263
00:14:08,473 --> 00:14:10,392
       Yeah, but not too many.      

264
00:14:10,434 --> 00:14:12,728
        Yeah, I want to play        
       complicated characters.      

265
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:15,397
        I think simpler ones        
        might go over better.       

266
00:14:15,439 --> 00:14:16,648
      I want to be challenged.      

267
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:18,233
     Yeah. But what if audiences    
    don't want to be challenged?    

268
00:14:18,275 --> 00:14:19,860
      Then I don't get to grow.     

269
00:14:19,902 --> 00:14:23,238
         Oh. I never thought        
         about it like that.        

270
00:14:25,449 --> 00:14:28,785
           I'll chew on it          
       and circle back to you.      

271
00:14:28,827 --> 00:14:32,039
            Hey, you want           
      to grab drinks sometime?      

272
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,166
        What kind of drinks?        

273
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:37,252
    It will be a "getting to know   
     each other" kind of drinks.    

274
00:14:42,507 --> 00:14:44,718
          -Okay, I'm down.          
               -Great.              

275
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,721
       I'll have my assistant       
   get something in books for us.   

276
00:14:47,763 --> 00:14:50,974
               -Okay.               
       -Okay. See you around.       

277
00:14:52,059 --> 00:14:53,268
               Mm-kay.              

278
00:14:59,358 --> 00:15:01,234
   [Chuck] What are you thinking?   

279
00:15:02,486 --> 00:15:05,072
        [Marie] I'm thinking        
          a lot of things.          

280
00:15:06,615 --> 00:15:08,450
         [Chuck] Like what?         

281
00:15:08,492 --> 00:15:11,787
            I think that            
      somewhere along the way,      

282
00:15:11,828 --> 00:15:13,705
         we started treating        
          our relationship          

283
00:15:13,747 --> 00:15:16,667
     like we treat our careers--    

284
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:20,087
        just checking things        
            off the list.           

285
00:15:21,797 --> 00:15:26,301
    Get a college degree. Check.    

286
00:15:26,343 --> 00:15:30,681
      Find an amazing partner.      
               Check.               

287
00:15:31,890 --> 00:15:36,186
         Find a great house         
         to live in. Check.         

288
00:15:38,146 --> 00:15:40,023
            Get engaged.            

289
00:15:44,027 --> 00:15:45,779
               Check.               

290
00:15:52,703 --> 00:15:57,791
   I guess I never really stopped   
   to think about who I was, or... 

291
00:15:57,833 --> 00:16:00,502
         who I wanted to be.        

292
00:16:00,544 --> 00:16:01,670
               Me too.              

293
00:16:01,712 --> 00:16:03,547
     [Chuck] Marie, I want to be    
              with you.             

294
00:16:03,588 --> 00:16:06,258
             I just want            
      to make that very clear.      

295
00:16:06,299 --> 00:16:09,136
     And I want to be with you.     

296
00:16:09,177 --> 00:16:10,804
         But not like this.         

297
00:16:10,846 --> 00:16:15,475
   I want you to have space to be   
   yourself before we get married. 

298
00:16:17,102 --> 00:16:18,895
        What does that mean?        

299
00:16:22,024 --> 00:16:25,152
              It means,             

300
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:27,487
      we should explore a bit.      

301
00:16:29,698 --> 00:16:33,994
     Do you want to explore too?    

302
00:16:34,036 --> 00:16:34,995
               Maybe.               

303
00:16:35,037 --> 00:16:39,249
        I mean, it's not like       
       I have some black book       

304
00:16:39,291 --> 00:16:41,418
   I've been waiting to whip out.   

305
00:16:45,756 --> 00:16:48,925
          If I didn't admit         
         to being bisexual,         

306
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:52,971
         would we be having         
         this conversation?         

307
00:16:53,013 --> 00:16:55,432
            Probably not.           

308
00:16:55,474 --> 00:16:57,976
    But I'm glad we're having it.   

309
00:16:58,018 --> 00:17:02,230
      We have to be honest with     
    each other or we won't last.    

310
00:17:05,358 --> 00:17:07,069
             Okay, fine.            

311
00:17:09,404 --> 00:17:13,909
        If everybody is safe,       
              I'm good.             

312
00:17:22,167 --> 00:17:26,296
       I like us being honest       
           with each other          

313
00:17:26,338 --> 00:17:29,299
    and doing what works for us.    

314
00:17:29,341 --> 00:17:30,801
               Me too.              

315
00:17:30,842 --> 00:17:33,845
            hopeful music          

316
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:39,226
                                  

317
00:17:48,944 --> 00:17:51,863
        Na-na-na-na, na-na-na      

318
00:17:51,905 --> 00:17:54,407
           Gonna let me go         

319
00:17:54,449 --> 00:17:58,161
        Na-na-na-na, na-na-na      

320
00:17:58,203 --> 00:18:00,789
             [laughter]             

321
00:18:00,831 --> 00:18:03,416
         -Well, look at you.        
           -[Nia] I know.           

322
00:18:03,458 --> 00:18:05,585
        I got to take credit        
        for how great I look.       

323
00:18:05,627 --> 00:18:07,504
         Half of this outfit        
           is Valentina's.          

324
00:18:07,546 --> 00:18:09,214
     I came straight from work.     

325
00:18:09,256 --> 00:18:10,132
            That's cool.            

326
00:18:10,173 --> 00:18:13,718
    -Now, what are you drinking?    
         -Green tea on ice.         

327
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,178
           Oh. All right.           

328
00:18:15,220 --> 00:18:17,180
   Can I get a vodka on the rocks   
               for me,              

329
00:18:17,222 --> 00:18:19,724
       and a green tea on ice       
            for the lady?           

330
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:22,018
         -Uh-huh. Of course.        
        -Yes, man, thank you.       

331
00:18:25,730 --> 00:18:30,193
     So, what's really going on     
        with you and Lauren?        

332
00:18:30,944 --> 00:18:32,821
             All right.             
      Well, let me explain. I--     

333
00:18:32,863 --> 00:18:34,447
             Please do.             

334
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:40,036
        I think Lauren and I        
   have gone as far as we can go.   

335
00:18:40,078 --> 00:18:41,788
     We're not growing together     
              anymore.              

336
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:44,124
      It feels like we're just      
     going through the motions.     

337
00:18:44,166 --> 00:18:48,044
            It's...yeah.            

338
00:18:48,086 --> 00:18:49,254
           Are you really           
          interested in me,         

339
00:18:49,296 --> 00:18:51,756
       or are you just trying       
      to get some street cred?      

340
00:18:51,798 --> 00:18:54,551
      Oh, I'm not going to get      
    some street cred dating you.    

341
00:18:54,593 --> 00:18:56,761
               So, no.              

342
00:18:56,803 --> 00:18:59,556
            -That's true.           
               -Yeah.               

343
00:19:01,683 --> 00:19:03,768
                Look.               

344
00:19:03,810 --> 00:19:06,104
          Hey, I like you.          

345
00:19:06,146 --> 00:19:08,398
           I like the way           
     you move through the world.    

346
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,693
           You're...calm.           

347
00:19:11,735 --> 00:19:13,653
        You're always looking       
    at the bright side of things    

348
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:17,407
        and you aren't afraid       
       to follow your dreams.       

349
00:19:19,784 --> 00:19:22,204
            Thanks, Ben.            

350
00:19:22,245 --> 00:19:24,039
           I receive that.          

351
00:19:26,416 --> 00:19:28,210
         -[bartender] Enjoy.        
                -Ah.                

352
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:32,214
     Here's to finding yourself.    

353
00:19:32,255 --> 00:19:34,507
      Even if it takes a while.     

354
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:41,514
            romantic music         

355
00:19:41,556 --> 00:19:44,559
                                  

356
00:19:44,601 --> 00:19:47,604
         Dang, this is nice!        

357
00:19:50,357 --> 00:19:51,733
   We got the place to ourselves?   

358
00:19:51,775 --> 00:19:54,486
          Yeah, and I hope          
          you like seafood.         

359
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:57,405
                 Aw.                
           [clicks tongue]          

360
00:19:57,447 --> 00:19:58,531
       Actually, I'm allergic.      

361
00:19:58,573 --> 00:19:59,866
          Oh, shit. Really?         

362
00:19:59,908 --> 00:20:01,993
        Nah, I'm just messing       
              with you.             

363
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:03,078
         But what if I was?         

364
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,705
            That's true.            
    I'll ask you first next time.   

365
00:20:05,747 --> 00:20:07,540
          Yeah, you should.         

366
00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:11,586
    -This is nice, though. Damn!    
              -Mm-hmm.              

367
00:20:16,258 --> 00:20:18,218
           So we're really          
        the only people here?       

368
00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:20,553
    Yeah, I rented the place out    
           for the night.           

369
00:20:20,595 --> 00:20:22,722
           The owner and I          
          are old friends.          

370
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:28,561
         What? What's wrong?        

371
00:20:31,064 --> 00:20:32,190
     Did you rent this place out    

372
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:33,525
       because you were trying      
           to be romantic,          

373
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:36,653
     or because you didn't want     
    to be seen with me in public?   

374
00:20:38,154 --> 00:20:40,949
       I feel like every time       
     I try to do something nice,    

375
00:20:40,991 --> 00:20:43,118
     you have an issue with me.     

376
00:20:44,869 --> 00:20:45,954
     I'm just asking a question.    

377
00:20:45,996 --> 00:20:48,581
         I like my privacy.         

378
00:20:48,623 --> 00:20:51,001
    No, you like your privilege,    

379
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:54,921
    and this is just another way    
       for you to protect it.       

380
00:20:54,963 --> 00:20:58,300
           You know what?           
     I think I lost my appetite.    

381
00:20:58,717 --> 00:21:00,176
       Every day you walk out       
           of your house,           

382
00:21:00,218 --> 00:21:01,720
            you get to be           
         this light-skinned,        

383
00:21:01,761 --> 00:21:03,263
        straight-presenting,        
         curly-haired woman         

384
00:21:03,305 --> 00:21:05,473
      that doesn't have to deal     
      with half of the bullshit     

385
00:21:05,515 --> 00:21:06,599
       that the rest of us do.      

386
00:21:06,641 --> 00:21:09,978
           -[Ida B.] Wow.           
            -Yeah, "Wow."           

387
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,648
    Hattie, have you ever broken    
      through a glass ceiling?      

388
00:21:13,690 --> 00:21:14,816
       [Hattie] No, I haven't.      

389
00:21:14,858 --> 00:21:17,652
       You get scarred by it.       

390
00:21:17,694 --> 00:21:21,865
       You accumulate bruises       
      that don't ever go away.      

391
00:21:21,906 --> 00:21:24,075
        My first five years,        

392
00:21:24,117 --> 00:21:26,828
       I cried myself to sleep      
             every night            

393
00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:30,790
        because I didn't have       
     any friends or any support.    

394
00:21:30,832 --> 00:21:32,042
          My family started         
           giving up on me          

395
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,918
        because my dream was        
    taking too long to come true.   

396
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,047
     So I'm sorry that you can't    
       tell that I like women       

397
00:21:37,088 --> 00:21:38,298
          by looking at me,         
         and I'm sorry that         

398
00:21:38,340 --> 00:21:40,133
     I have a white grandfather,    
         but you know what?         

399
00:21:40,175 --> 00:21:41,926
          Those are things          
         that I can't help.         

400
00:21:41,968 --> 00:21:43,053
     But you can acknowledge it.    

401
00:21:43,094 --> 00:21:45,096
     What do you want me to do?     

402
00:21:45,138 --> 00:21:46,890
      You want me to apologize      
         every five minutes?        

403
00:21:46,931 --> 00:21:49,267
     I don't want your apology.     
       I just want you to know      

404
00:21:49,309 --> 00:21:51,186
       that we're not fighting      
           the same fight.          

405
00:21:51,227 --> 00:21:53,521
            -I know that.           
              -Do you?              

406
00:21:54,773 --> 00:21:57,901
         Look, we don't walk        
         through this world         

407
00:21:57,942 --> 00:21:59,694
            the same way.           

408
00:21:59,736 --> 00:22:01,112
     People take one look at me,    
            and they know           

409
00:22:01,154 --> 00:22:02,989
        that I'm gay as hell        
       and I'm Black as hell.       

410
00:22:03,031 --> 00:22:06,326
      And I can't hide from it.     
              You can.              

411
00:22:06,951 --> 00:22:08,453
          I don't want to.          

412
00:22:08,495 --> 00:22:10,497
              [scoffs]              
            I can't tell.           

413
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:14,250
         I have shared a lot        
     of my life with the world,     

414
00:22:14,292 --> 00:22:15,919
          and I was hoping          
       that this was one thing      

415
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,338
    that I could keep to myself.    

416
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:22,509
    There's a way to be discreet    
   without disowning who you are.   

417
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:25,845
         I can work on that.        

418
00:22:29,391 --> 00:22:33,061
       And, look, I--I really       
      appreciate the tough love     

419
00:22:33,103 --> 00:22:37,399
         and all the advice         
     that you've been giving me.    

420
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,984
       It really means a lot.       

421
00:22:40,026 --> 00:22:42,946
     But I also want you to know    

422
00:22:42,987 --> 00:22:44,948
       that we're experiencing      

423
00:22:44,989 --> 00:22:47,617
   two very different Hollywoods.   

424
00:22:47,659 --> 00:22:51,454
   The one that you walked into is 
   not the one that I'm living in. 

425
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,625
             I get that.            

426
00:22:55,667 --> 00:22:58,044
           And, you know,           

427
00:22:58,086 --> 00:23:01,840
         some shit I'ma have        
      to figure out on my own.      

428
00:23:01,881 --> 00:23:03,174
           I guess there's          
        just this part of me        

429
00:23:03,216 --> 00:23:05,260
     that wants to protect you.     

430
00:23:05,677 --> 00:23:09,264
          I want your love,         
        not your protection.        

431
00:23:22,902 --> 00:23:25,447
            -You hungry?            
             -Of course.            

432
00:23:25,488 --> 00:23:27,991
    I figured you were treating,    
         so I skipped lunch.        

433
00:23:28,032 --> 00:23:31,453
    Oh, you just going to eat me    
       out of house and home?       

434
00:23:31,494 --> 00:23:34,164
       See, I could have made       
      a dirty joke right then,      

435
00:23:34,205 --> 00:23:36,249
       but I ain't gon' do it.      

436
00:23:49,179 --> 00:23:52,223
          upbeat jazzy music       

437
00:23:52,265 --> 00:24:22,461
