1
00:00:35,203 --> 00:00:37,705
         Why did you come in        
         so late last night?        

2
00:00:37,747 --> 00:00:39,540
            Me and Chance           
       were just catching up.       

3
00:00:39,582 --> 00:00:41,542
           Please tell me           
    you read everybody's script.    

4
00:00:41,584 --> 00:00:43,086
      [Hattie] Look, I'm sorry.     
          Things got crazy.         

5
00:00:43,127 --> 00:00:45,546
             I promise,             
       next week, I got y'all.      

6
00:00:45,588 --> 00:00:47,048
    [pastor] It's a questionnaire   
          that requires you         

7
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:49,884
       to look at your partner      
       and your relationship.       

8
00:00:49,926 --> 00:00:51,552
       Enjoying your new life       
           as an actress?           

9
00:00:51,594 --> 00:00:53,763
       Ah, well, I still have       
      to teach yoga part-time.      

10
00:00:53,805 --> 00:00:55,848
       You wanna grab a drink       
              sometime?             

11
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:57,558
              [Ida B.]              
      I feel like every time I try   

12
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,976
        to do something nice,       
         you have an issue.         

13
00:00:59,018 --> 00:01:03,022
         We're experiencing         
   two very different Hollywoods.   

14
00:01:03,064 --> 00:01:04,565
            I'm bisexual.           

15
00:01:11,155 --> 00:01:13,241
         [Idina] All right.         
   I think we should get started.   

16
00:01:13,282 --> 00:01:14,200
         Hattie, you're up.         

17
00:01:14,242 --> 00:01:16,327
    -So y'all ready for my notes?   
          -[Idina] Mm-hmm.          

18
00:01:16,369 --> 00:01:17,912
              [Hattie]              
       Okay, I wrote 'em down.      

19
00:01:17,954 --> 00:01:20,248
         -[Idina] All right.        
               -Okay.               

20
00:01:20,289 --> 00:01:24,127
   Jackson, I thought your script   
       was a really cool idea,      

21
00:01:24,168 --> 00:01:28,172
          but that last act         
         needs so much work.        

22
00:01:29,715 --> 00:01:30,842
             I'm aware.             

23
00:01:30,883 --> 00:01:33,219
          And all the women         
       are sounding the same.       

24
00:01:33,261 --> 00:01:35,888
      I mean, you gotta give me     
         some variety, bro.         

25
00:01:35,930 --> 00:01:38,432
    And why did you have the dad    
      kill his boss like that?      

26
00:01:38,474 --> 00:01:41,102
   I mean, he could have gave him   
    a warning or something first.   

27
00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:45,273
    It just came out of nowhere,    
   and honestly, I didn't buy it.   

28
00:01:45,314 --> 00:01:48,359
     Tisha. Tisha, Tisha, Tisha.    

29
00:01:48,401 --> 00:01:51,654
       -You got skills, okay?       
                -Hey!               

30
00:01:51,696 --> 00:01:54,365
        But I could not stand       
       your damn protagonist.       

31
00:01:54,407 --> 00:01:55,616
    She reminded me of this girl    

32
00:01:55,658 --> 00:01:56,826
         that I used to date        
           back in the day          

33
00:01:56,868 --> 00:02:00,121
       that was always sucking      
      her teeth for no reason.      

34
00:02:00,163 --> 00:02:02,832
   And it also seemed like she was 
     always mad about something     

35
00:02:02,874 --> 00:02:04,625
    and I just didn't know what,    
              you know?             

36
00:02:04,667 --> 00:02:08,379
     Damn, can you just be nice     
            for a second?           

37
00:02:08,421 --> 00:02:13,342
     And, I don't know, it feels    
       very angry Black woman.      

38
00:02:13,384 --> 00:02:16,721
        And I know we trying        
    to get away from that trope.    

39
00:02:16,762 --> 00:02:19,432
            -Let that go.           
              -Uh-huh.              

40
00:02:19,473 --> 00:02:22,393
           Idina, my girl,          

41
00:02:22,435 --> 00:02:24,937
    your script was so relatable.   

42
00:02:24,979 --> 00:02:26,898
        Like, I could really        
        see myself in Robbie.       

43
00:02:26,939 --> 00:02:29,609
     I mean, she was hilarious,     
        a bit of a hot mess,        

44
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:30,610
          but I liked her.          

45
00:02:30,651 --> 00:02:32,445
           The only thing           
         I didn't understand        

46
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:34,822
          was why Isabelle          
      was so into her, though.      

47
00:02:34,864 --> 00:02:37,116
    Like, Izzy had a great life.    

48
00:02:37,158 --> 00:02:40,620
      She's got the fly store.      
      She's got the cool whip.      

49
00:02:40,661 --> 00:02:43,039
    She's obviously a great cook.   

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,750
        Why is she following        
     behind this dusty-ass girl?    

51
00:02:45,791 --> 00:02:48,377
            I don't know,           
      I guess I'm just not here     

52
00:02:48,419 --> 00:02:52,924
         for the unrequited         
    lesbian love story right now.   

53
00:02:52,965 --> 00:02:56,510
   Maybe 'cause I've been through   
      that shit too many times.     

54
00:02:56,552 --> 00:02:58,262
          And the truth is,         

55
00:02:58,304 --> 00:03:01,140
      these characters are just     
     a little too happy for me.     

56
00:03:01,182 --> 00:03:02,850
          I mean, I've been         
         through that shit.         

57
00:03:02,892 --> 00:03:05,561
    Ain't nothing happy about it.   

58
00:03:05,603 --> 00:03:08,856
      And to be real with you,      

59
00:03:08,898 --> 00:03:11,400
     at one point, I just wished    
       they would just move on      

60
00:03:11,442 --> 00:03:15,279
   and go their separate ways, but 
   then you wouldn't have a show,   

61
00:03:15,321 --> 00:03:17,365
           so never mind.           

62
00:03:17,406 --> 00:03:21,953
    All right, thank you, Hattie,   
     for being overly prepared.     

63
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:23,871
        Oh, yeah, I told you        
   I was gon' come prepared today. 

64
00:03:23,913 --> 00:03:27,333
            -[Idina] Mm.            
    -Yeah, I ain't come to play.    

65
00:03:27,375 --> 00:03:29,919
          So how did I do?          

66
00:03:29,961 --> 00:03:32,213
             [stammers]             
         Uh, you did great.         

67
00:03:32,255 --> 00:03:34,757
           Just next time,          
    you don't have to go so hard.   

68
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:35,800
      When we say first brush,      

69
00:03:35,841 --> 00:03:37,760
            we just want            
       your general thoughts,       

70
00:03:37,802 --> 00:03:39,720
           not everything           
         you hated about it.        

71
00:03:39,762 --> 00:03:42,014
             Oh, my bad.            

72
00:03:42,056 --> 00:03:44,517
          See, I ain't used         
       to being around people.      

73
00:03:44,558 --> 00:03:45,685
   Well, if you wanna get staffed, 

74
00:03:45,726 --> 00:03:47,645
          you're gonna have         
         to get used to it.         

75
00:03:47,687 --> 00:03:48,854
             You right.             

76
00:03:48,896 --> 00:03:51,816
        But honestly, I think       
     you'll be great in a room.     

77
00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:53,067
           I'm pretty sure          
         you're gonna get on        

78
00:03:53,109 --> 00:03:54,610
   most of the people's nerves...   

79
00:03:54,652 --> 00:03:56,237
             [laughter]             

80
00:03:56,279 --> 00:03:58,781
           But you'll keep          
          everybody awake.          

81
00:03:58,823 --> 00:04:00,574
        Well, I'll take that.       

82
00:04:02,618 --> 00:04:06,706
            So you really           
     didn't like my script, huh?    

83
00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:07,915
          Nah, I liked it,          

84
00:04:07,957 --> 00:04:10,042
       and it was really nice       
   to read somebody else's script   

85
00:04:10,084 --> 00:04:12,545
           instead of just          
     staring at my own all day.     

86
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:14,422
     -Yeah, I feel the same way.    
              -Mm-hmm.              

87
00:04:14,463 --> 00:04:16,757
       And it also reminds me       
    I'm not the only one out here   

88
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:18,926
       struggling to get words      
            on the page.            

89
00:04:18,968 --> 00:04:20,386
                Yeah.               

90
00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:22,013
          Thank you, Idina.         

91
00:04:22,054 --> 00:04:24,515
     Being a part of this group     
        has been really nice.       

92
00:04:24,557 --> 00:04:27,101
        It's been really nice       
             having you.            

93
00:04:31,105 --> 00:04:35,359
        Hey, would you wanna        
       go catch a movie, or--       

94
00:04:35,401 --> 00:04:37,111
              Oh, shit.             

95
00:04:37,153 --> 00:04:38,779
         Is everything okay?        

96
00:04:38,821 --> 00:04:40,948
           Marie's calling          
        an emergency meeting.       

97
00:04:40,990 --> 00:04:42,283
        What's the emergency?       

98
00:04:42,325 --> 00:04:44,827
    I don't know, but it must be    
          something serious         

99
00:04:44,869 --> 00:04:47,204
       'cause she ain't called      
      one of these in a minute.     

100
00:04:47,246 --> 00:04:49,290
      Look, I'ma go figure out      
          what's going on.          

101
00:04:49,332 --> 00:04:52,376
       -I'll catch you later?       
        -[Idina] Okay, cool.        

102
00:04:52,418 --> 00:04:54,503
    And you need to bring snacks    
             next time.             

103
00:04:54,545 --> 00:04:55,421
              [Hattie]              
             I got you.             

104
00:04:55,463 --> 00:04:57,923
      I'ma bring some barbeque      
        pork rinds next time.       

105
00:04:57,965 --> 00:05:00,801
               [Idina]              
    What? Don't nobody eat those.   

106
00:05:00,843 --> 00:05:04,597
          upbeat piano music       

107
00:05:04,638 --> 00:05:09,560
                                  

108
00:05:09,602 --> 00:05:11,228
            Chuck is bi?!           

109
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:14,190
       You know, technically,       
    this ain't a real emergency,    

110
00:05:14,231 --> 00:05:15,316
           right, because           
        I already knew that.        

111
00:05:15,358 --> 00:05:18,569
          But I'm just glad         
     that he's owning his truth.    

112
00:05:18,611 --> 00:05:19,904
       I need to process this.      

113
00:05:19,945 --> 00:05:21,906
      -Have you processed this?     
            -Yes, I have.           

114
00:05:21,947 --> 00:05:23,491
           Probably 'cause          
      you already knew, right?      

115
00:05:23,532 --> 00:05:26,744
    Hattie, if he didn't come out   
    to you, you're just assuming.   

116
00:05:26,786 --> 00:05:28,746
       Girl, I know my people.      

117
00:05:28,788 --> 00:05:30,164
         Then why didn't you        
          tell me about it?         

118
00:05:30,206 --> 00:05:32,666
     Because I couldn't tell you    
    that I think your man is gay.   

119
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:33,876
           Well, he's not.          

120
00:05:33,918 --> 00:05:36,379
         You right. He's bi.        

121
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,255
        So what are we doing        
             about this?            

122
00:05:38,297 --> 00:05:41,509
      We're not doing anything.     
   We're still gonna be together.   

123
00:05:41,550 --> 00:05:43,094
      And that's not abnormal.      

124
00:05:43,135 --> 00:05:46,055
   I know a lot of straight dudes   
         that date bi girls         

125
00:05:46,097 --> 00:05:48,057
        and a lot of bi dudes       
      that date straight girls.     

126
00:05:48,099 --> 00:05:50,267
           And, you know,           
      that's just how it goes.      

127
00:05:50,309 --> 00:05:52,061
             It's okay.             

128
00:05:52,103 --> 00:05:53,813
        So you guys are okay?       

129
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:55,314
          Yeah, we're fine.         

130
00:05:55,356 --> 00:05:57,858
       And he's cool with you       
      telling us that he's bi?      

131
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:00,111
     I asked for his permission     
             last night.            

132
00:06:00,152 --> 00:06:02,029
    How forward-thinking of you.    

133
00:06:02,071 --> 00:06:04,448
   I just wanted you both to know. 

134
00:06:04,490 --> 00:06:07,118
        I'm still digesting.        

135
00:06:07,159 --> 00:06:08,953
           I've digested.           

136
00:06:08,994 --> 00:06:11,372
         Me and Ben hung out        
          the other night.          

137
00:06:11,414 --> 00:06:12,081
                Why?                

138
00:06:12,123 --> 00:06:14,208
             He asked me            
      to have drinks with him.      

139
00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:16,460
               -Mm-mm.              
         -He's not that bad.        

140
00:06:16,502 --> 00:06:19,171
        Well, he's definitely       
       ready to leave Lauren.       

141
00:06:19,213 --> 00:06:21,048
    He just wants a Black trophy    
             on his arm.            

142
00:06:21,090 --> 00:06:23,717
    Do not fall for his bullshit.   

143
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,303
            [phone rings]           
    Oh, shit. I gotta take this.    

144
00:06:26,345 --> 00:06:27,972
       Don't tell anyone else       
            about Chuck.            

145
00:06:28,013 --> 00:06:31,308
            -We got you.            
                -Duh.               

146
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:32,768
                -Bye.               
            -[Marie] Bye.           

147
00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:34,061
               Hello?               

148
00:06:34,103 --> 00:06:36,897
   I'm still in shock, by the way. 

149
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:38,858
          I don't know why.         

150
00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:42,486
    When are you gonna tell Marie   
         about you and Ida?         

151
00:06:42,528 --> 00:06:43,404
            I don't know.           

152
00:06:43,446 --> 00:06:46,449
           Whenever I know          
        what the hell we are.       

153
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:47,908
             upbeat music          

154
00:06:47,950 --> 00:06:49,910
               [Marie]              
      I emailed you the proposal.    

155
00:06:49,952 --> 00:06:50,995
           Did you get it?          

156
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:53,747
          I did, and I got          
       some questions for you.      

157
00:06:53,789 --> 00:06:55,749
                Okay.               

158
00:06:55,791 --> 00:06:57,001
      Why do we need Monument?      

159
00:06:57,042 --> 00:06:58,961
           Why do we need           
      any of these white folks?     

160
00:06:59,003 --> 00:07:01,422
      Because historical dramas     
             cost money.            

161
00:07:01,464 --> 00:07:04,383
            -I got money.           
    -Not enough to pay for this.    

162
00:07:04,425 --> 00:07:06,677
            I know people           
      with more money than me.      

163
00:07:06,719 --> 00:07:07,887
   It isn't just about the money.   

164
00:07:07,928 --> 00:07:10,764
      You need infrastructure,      
            distribution,           

165
00:07:10,806 --> 00:07:12,892
        someone to take care        
        of all the paperwork.       

166
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:14,894
          We can get people         
         to do all of that.         

167
00:07:14,935 --> 00:07:17,396
      Look, I've been hustling      
           my whole life.           

168
00:07:17,438 --> 00:07:21,066
        If I get to the pros,       
      I can make a damn movie.      

169
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:23,444
            Those are two           
       very different things.       

170
00:07:23,486 --> 00:07:24,361
              I get it.             

171
00:07:24,403 --> 00:07:27,865
       You're not here for it       
     right now, and that's okay.    

172
00:07:27,907 --> 00:07:29,658
      I'ma keep working on you.     

173
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:31,327
       Then we gon' get there.      

174
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:34,413
    Okay, well, in the meantime,    
       can we talk directors?       

175
00:07:34,455 --> 00:07:35,915
             [Quintrell]            
    We can talk Black directors.    

176
00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:37,958
          Perfect, because          
    that's all I have to present.   

177
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,419
             Wonderful.             
    That's all I wanted to hear.    

178
00:07:40,461 --> 00:07:42,963
             [chuckles]             

179
00:07:45,925 --> 00:07:48,302
        Why are you so happy?       

180
00:07:48,344 --> 00:07:51,347
       'Cause I finally found       
        my writer community,        

181
00:07:51,388 --> 00:07:54,725
       and 'cause I'm finally       
         not scared of you.         

182
00:07:54,767 --> 00:07:56,018
             [laughter]             

183
00:07:56,060 --> 00:07:57,895
              [Ida B.]              
       Am I really that scary?      

184
00:07:57,937 --> 00:07:58,979
                Yes.                

185
00:07:59,021 --> 00:08:00,439
           I'm just blunt.          

186
00:08:00,481 --> 00:08:03,317
       [Hattie] And you can be      
         a little cold too.         

187
00:08:03,359 --> 00:08:04,443
             [executive]            
               Ida B.!              

188
00:08:04,485 --> 00:08:06,403
           -[Ida B.] Hey.           
      -So glad to run into you.     

189
00:08:06,445 --> 00:08:08,906
         Uh, what a surprise        
          to see you here.          

190
00:08:08,948 --> 00:08:10,115
     I am loving the new season     

191
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:11,575
        of "Cocoa's Butter,"        
             by the way.            

192
00:08:11,617 --> 00:08:13,327
           Oh, thank you.           

193
00:08:15,704 --> 00:08:17,790
         Oh, this is Hattie.        

194
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:21,168
   She is an amazing young writer. 

195
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:22,461
             [executive]            
            Look at you,            

196
00:08:22,503 --> 00:08:24,380
          always mentoring          
        the next generation.        

197
00:08:24,421 --> 00:08:26,173
   Yeah, that's Ida B., all right, 

198
00:08:26,215 --> 00:08:29,552
     always reaching back while     
   climbing the corporate ladder.   

199
00:08:29,593 --> 00:08:31,220
             [executive]            
    Hattie, pay close attention.    

200
00:08:31,262 --> 00:08:33,347
      You've got a lot to learn     
        from this smart lady.       

201
00:08:33,389 --> 00:08:35,057
        Oh, I'm taking notes.       

202
00:08:35,099 --> 00:08:37,851
    -[executive] She's adorable.    
            -Yes, she is.           

203
00:08:43,983 --> 00:08:45,734
         Do you ladies need         
           anything else?           

204
00:08:45,776 --> 00:08:47,361
          -Just the check.          
              -Hattie.              

205
00:08:47,403 --> 00:08:49,238
        I'll pay for my shit.       
       You can pay for yours.       

206
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,366
              -Hattie--             
      -I'll come back in a bit.     

207
00:08:52,408 --> 00:08:55,411
     You know, man, I don't know    
   why I keep giving you chances.   

208
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:57,997
     What was I supposed to do?     
   Introduce you as my girlfriend? 

209
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:00,791
       You could have at least      
    introduced me as your friend.   

210
00:09:00,833 --> 00:09:02,793
      I would have taken that.      

211
00:09:02,835 --> 00:09:05,254
   I thought you were taking care   
      of your half of the bill.     

212
00:09:05,296 --> 00:09:07,047
         I'll Cash App you.         

213
00:09:16,932 --> 00:09:20,269
      [camera shutter clicking]     

214
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:26,400
                -Hey.               
                -Hey.               

215
00:09:28,402 --> 00:09:31,030
          Don't be scared.          
          Take your moment.         

216
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:32,197
            I don't know.           

217
00:09:32,239 --> 00:09:33,949
           It feels weird           
      to walk down a red carpet     

218
00:09:33,991 --> 00:09:35,492
      if nobody knows who I am.     

219
00:09:35,534 --> 00:09:37,578
   Random people walk red carpets   
            all the time.           

220
00:09:37,620 --> 00:09:39,997
      I know; I don't wanna be      
        one of those people.        

221
00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:41,498
       If you keep killing it       
          on social media,          

222
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:43,125
              you'll be             
    the most famous person here.    

223
00:09:43,167 --> 00:09:44,918
            You just need           
    to keep building your brand.    

224
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,462
         Yeah, but if I keep        
         building my brand,         

225
00:09:46,503 --> 00:09:49,089
        I won't have any time       
        to focus on my craft.       

226
00:09:49,131 --> 00:09:50,841
    There are a lot of big stars    
         who haven't worked         

227
00:09:50,883 --> 00:09:52,217
      on their craft in years.      

228
00:09:52,259 --> 00:09:55,012
        -I know; I can tell.        
              -[laughs]             

229
00:09:55,054 --> 00:09:56,805
      Trust me. You're a star.

            Yeah, a big bang        
            when you swing          

232
00:10:06,023 --> 00:10:07,191
      That's too much to handle

             Here we go.

      Ooh, let's take a selfie.     

236

          -[Ben] All right.         
               -Okay.               

237
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,828
                -Me.                
      -[camera shutter clicks]      

238
00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:22,039
             [chuckles]             
                Okay.               

239
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:27,044
        [notifications chime]       

240
00:10:27,086 --> 00:10:28,504
           They love you.           

241
00:10:30,714 --> 00:10:31,840
                Hmm?                

242
00:10:33,258 --> 00:10:37,596
          So it's basically         
         a movie about joy.         

243
00:10:37,638 --> 00:10:38,847
                [Nia]               
        That sounds amazing.        

244
00:10:38,889 --> 00:10:43,060
     Yeah, it'll feature people     
       doing positive things.       

245
00:10:43,102 --> 00:10:45,813
            -[Nia] Nice!            
       -Like falling in love.

     and laughing for no reason.    

248

             At the end,            
       everyone goes to space,      

249
00:10:52,111 --> 00:10:54,029
     and they fight evil aliens.    

250
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:58,575
   Wow! That sounds...interesting. 

251
00:10:58,617 --> 00:11:00,285
                [Ben]               
    Well, it's still early days,    

252
00:11:00,327 --> 00:11:02,454
 -but my bosses love the concept. 
            -[Nia] Okay.            

253
00:11:02,496 --> 00:11:03,789
                Yeah.               
     Marie hates it, of course.     

254
00:11:03,831 --> 00:11:06,041
      Yeah, she hates anything      
         that's not serious.        

255
00:11:06,083 --> 00:11:07,459
      [Ben] I keep telling her      
           to lighten up.           

256
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:10,546
    You've been telling her that    
             for years.             

257
00:11:10,587 --> 00:11:14,049
    My mission is to make a movie   
        that everyone likes.        

258
00:11:14,091 --> 00:11:16,510
         -That's impossible.        
       -Nothing is impossible.      

259
00:11:16,552 --> 00:11:19,012
       Hi, we can sit you now,      
   if you wanna follow me, please? 

260
00:11:19,054 --> 00:11:20,013
               [both]               
                Okay.               

261
00:11:20,055 --> 00:11:23,183

         Can't get on the road,     
       'cause I ain't done yet      

265
00:11:35,404 --> 00:11:36,822
       Time is causing conflict    

266
00:11:36,864 --> 00:11:39,658
       Yeah, wonder where I'm at,   
     probably somewhere different  

267
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:42,411
       Been dull, I guess there's   
       somethin' I'm missing...     

268
00:11:47,124 --> 00:11:49,835
     -[Idina] It hurt, don't it?    
           -[Hattie] What?          

269
00:11:49,877 --> 00:11:52,629
      [Idina] Getting rejected      
        by somebody you like.       

270
00:11:54,965 --> 00:11:58,343
              [Hattie]              
     Look, I apologized to you.     

271
00:11:58,385 --> 00:12:00,637
           We had a whole           
     "coming to Jesus" about it.    

272
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,390
    Please don't throw that back    
        in my face right now.       

273
00:12:03,432 --> 00:12:04,433
           I'm distraught.          

274
00:12:04,475 --> 00:12:06,643
          Please, you know          
           she ain't shit,          

275
00:12:06,685 --> 00:12:08,979
            but you still           
         keep crawling back.        

276
00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:12,608
          Yeah, man, she...         

277
00:12:12,649 --> 00:12:16,236
           she rented out           
     a whole restaurant for us.     

278
00:12:16,278 --> 00:12:19,072
   She gave me notes on my script. 

279
00:12:19,114 --> 00:12:21,283
    She lets me drink after her.    

280
00:12:21,325 --> 00:12:23,994
      And we had a connection,      
             all right?             

281
00:12:24,036 --> 00:12:26,413
       Then why are you here?       

282
00:12:26,455 --> 00:12:28,540
       Because I needed to be       
       with a friend tonight.       

283
00:12:28,582 --> 00:12:30,501
    But you got two best friends.   

284
00:12:30,542 --> 00:12:31,710
     Okay, and they're straight,    

285
00:12:31,752 --> 00:12:34,129
           and sometimes,           
     they don't understand, so--    

286
00:12:34,171 --> 00:12:36,673
       So I'm your gay friend?      

287
00:12:36,715 --> 00:12:39,968
         No, you're somebody        
            who gets me.            

288
00:12:41,637 --> 00:12:43,680
        Yeah, but I can't be        
       your shoulder to cry on      

289
00:12:43,722 --> 00:12:46,391
             every time             
       she breaks your heart.       

290
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:48,477
               I know,              
   and I'm not trying to use you.   

291
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,980
       I just like hanging out      
              with you.             

292
00:12:54,775 --> 00:12:57,986
       And I like hanging out       
            with you too.           

293
00:12:58,028 --> 00:13:00,489
       You've changed my life.      

294
00:13:00,531 --> 00:13:03,158
              -Really?              
               -Yeah.               

295
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,203
         I mean, you let me         
      into your writers' group.     

296
00:13:06,245 --> 00:13:09,790
          You don't let me          
         get away with shit.        

297
00:13:11,667 --> 00:13:15,379
           And, you know,           
     I can always count on you.     

298
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:18,257
     That means something to me.    

299
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:21,009
           [phone buzzes]           

300
00:13:21,051 --> 00:13:22,803
        I wonder who that is.       

301
00:13:26,682 --> 00:13:30,227
      If you keep running back,     
        she'll never change.        

302
00:13:30,269 --> 00:13:32,563
               I know.              

303
00:13:32,604 --> 00:13:34,648
      She wants me to meet her      
            at her house.           

304
00:13:34,690 --> 00:13:36,650
        Of course, she does.        

305
00:13:39,528 --> 00:13:41,321
   I think I'm gonna break it off. 

306
00:13:41,363 --> 00:13:43,574
        -[Idina] Yeah, right.       
            -I'm serious.           

307
00:13:43,615 --> 00:13:47,369
            Like, I can't           
         take this no more.         

308
00:13:47,411 --> 00:13:50,289
       Wow. I'm proud of you.       

309
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:52,249
            Pray for me.            

310
00:13:52,291 --> 00:13:54,668
           -[Idina] Okay.           
           -No, I mean it.          

311
00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:56,086
          When I ask people         
           to pray for me,          

312
00:13:56,128 --> 00:13:58,422
        I really want you to.       

313
00:13:58,463 --> 00:14:00,757
     I'm not really a believer.     

314
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:05,804
    But my father is a preacher,    
            so I got you.           

315
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:08,307
            I didn't know           
     your father was a preacher.    

316
00:14:08,348 --> 00:14:10,851
                -Yep.               
    -How come you never told me?    

317
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:12,227
          You never asked.          

318
00:14:14,229 --> 00:14:15,355
           Mine's a comic.          

319
00:14:15,397 --> 00:14:17,274
      Ha! That explains a lot.      

320
00:14:17,316 --> 00:14:20,527
             [chuckles]             
      Why? 'Cause I'm so funny?     

321
00:14:20,569 --> 00:14:22,070
   No, 'cause you're always broke. 

322
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:23,906
             [laughter]             

323
00:14:23,947 --> 00:14:25,824
    Damn, you ain't had to do me    
         like that, though.         

324
00:14:25,866 --> 00:14:30,287
          I'm just saying,          
        the life of a comic.        

325
00:14:30,329 --> 00:14:32,372
             That's it.             
       I'ma go, on that note.       

326
00:14:32,414 --> 00:14:34,750
   I think it's time for me to go. 

327
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:36,919
              -A'ight.              
             -All right.            

328
00:14:48,472 --> 00:14:50,766
    [Ben] I know "Cocoa's Butter"   
           is a good show,          

329
00:14:50,807 --> 00:14:53,560
         but just be careful        
     you don't get stuck there.     

330
00:14:53,602 --> 00:14:54,519
        I wouldn't mind that.       

331
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:55,771
    I'm sure the people are nice,   

332
00:14:55,812 --> 00:14:58,315
         but at some point,         
    you're gonna have to move on.   

333
00:14:58,357 --> 00:15:01,234
       -[Nia] Move on to what?      
           -[Ben] Movies.           

334
00:15:02,361 --> 00:15:05,864
   Who's gonna put me in a movie?   
                You?                

335
00:15:05,906 --> 00:15:09,284
                [Ben]               
    I have the power to do that.    

336

       You're a leading lady.       

337
00:15:12,371 --> 00:15:14,748
              Can I be              
     a complicated leading lady?    

338
00:15:14,790 --> 00:15:17,209
         I think people want        
        someone effervescent        

339
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:20,379
       and funny and carefree.      

340
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:23,298
    -That sounds a little boring.   
          -[Ben] Trust me.

      restaurant alone, right?      

350
00:15:59,918 --> 00:16:03,880
        No, no, this is just        
       an apology for earlier.      

351
00:16:03,922 --> 00:16:07,259
          Look, I know that         
      I still have work to do.

    acknowledge whatever this is,

        I ain't kissing you,        
        I ain't touching you.

374
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:23,376
     -Is this shit gold-plated?     
            -I think so.            

375
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:28,757

378
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,037
               [Chuck]              
   I think Quintrell has a point.   

379
00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:01,331
      Y'all don't need a studio     
         to make that movie.        

380
00:18:01,373 --> 00:18:02,582
               [Marie]              
             Yes, we do.            

381
00:18:02,624 --> 00:18:03,834
      No, things are changing.      

382
00:18:03,875 --> 00:18:06,461
     Now, I know you were raised    
        by old school execs,        

383
00:18:06,503 --> 00:18:08,004
        but there's a new way       
          of doing things.          

384
00:18:08,046 --> 00:18:09,923
           I think that's           
       just wishful thinking.       

385
00:18:09,965 --> 00:18:12,968
         No, that's you not         
      wanting things to change.     

386
00:18:13,009 --> 00:18:15,512
             Of course,             
      I want things to change.      

387
00:18:15,554 --> 00:18:17,055
    I-I think the industry sucks.   

388
00:18:17,097 --> 00:18:19,975
     [Chuck] Then start working     
           outside of it.           

389
00:18:20,016 --> 00:18:22,853
     I don't wanna bite the hand    
           that feeds me.           

390
00:18:22,894 --> 00:18:24,229
               [Chuck]              
     Oh, you mean the same hand     

391
00:18:24,271 --> 00:18:26,606
       that chose Ben over you      
         for the promotion.         

392
00:18:26,648 --> 00:18:28,775
              Too soon.             

393
00:18:28,817 --> 00:18:30,819
     [Chuck] I'm not telling you    
          to quit your job.         

394
00:18:30,861 --> 00:18:33,822
          I'm just saying,          
      you hear the brother out.     

395
00:18:36,867 --> 00:18:39,744
        If the movie goes up        
     in flames, I'm blaming you.    

396
00:18:39,786 --> 00:18:42,539
   The last time I faced my fear,   

397
00:18:42,581 --> 00:18:44,499
      things didn't go too bad.     

398
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:50,213
             I hear you.            

399
00:18:50,255 --> 00:18:51,506
               [Chuck]              
              Success.

        not gonna stay over?        

404
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:14,571
              [Hattie]              
         Yeah, I'm gonna go.

           Nah, I don't--           
     I don't think that's smart.    

407
00:19:21,995 --> 00:19:24,247
              [Ida B.]              
                Okay.

            I mean, look,

      I've enjoyed it as well.      

411

             From what?

          of being in shit

00:19:46,102 --> 00:19:49,648
      when I don't really know      
             what it is.

       was wrong on the phone.

          about Quintrell.

        what to do about it.
