00:00:33,993 --> 00:00:35,578
    [Chuck]   How was the festival?   

2
00:00:35,620 --> 00:00:37,080
          [Marie]   It was...         

3
00:00:37,121 --> 00:00:38,247
           it was amazing.          

4
00:00:38,289 --> 00:00:39,999
       She's a little nervous.      

5
00:00:40,041 --> 00:00:42,585
   She's waiting to hear back from 
    her manager about her script.   

6
00:00:42,627 --> 00:00:44,378
         Drew's a great guy,        
         but his client list        

7
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:45,671
   could use more women of color.   

8
00:00:45,713 --> 00:00:46,839
        What she's saying is,       

9
00:00:46,881 --> 00:00:48,257
        he is only interested       
            in signing me           

10
00:00:48,299 --> 00:00:50,593
        because folks are hiring     
           Black writers now.        

11
00:00:50,635 --> 00:00:52,804
     I like you. I'd be willing     
        to take you on board.       

12
00:00:52,845 --> 00:00:55,264
        Don't we need to have       
           a conversation?          

13
00:00:55,306 --> 00:00:58,267
      I think Valentina has run     
       her course on the show.      

14
00:00:58,309 --> 00:00:59,560
      Did I do something wrong?     

15
00:00:59,602 --> 00:01:01,938
        So, how are you two?        

16
00:01:01,979 --> 00:01:04,440
          Uh...we're great.         

17
00:01:11,489 --> 00:01:14,450
       Maybe if I close my eyes    

18
00:01:14,492 --> 00:01:16,577
            In the morning         

19
00:01:16,619 --> 00:01:20,790
        This won't be reality      

20
00:01:20,832 --> 00:01:24,293
          Mm, 'cause it's like      
         the moon last night        

21
00:01:24,335 --> 00:01:26,462
            Oh, my gosh.            

22
00:01:26,504 --> 00:01:28,965
             Is this it?            

23
00:01:29,006 --> 00:01:30,133
             I think so.            

24
00:01:30,174 --> 00:01:32,885
       Well, now it can't be.       
           It's bad luck.           

25
00:01:32,927 --> 00:01:34,470
           I don't believe          
          in superstitions.         

26
00:01:34,512 --> 00:01:36,013
             It's real.             

27
00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:39,183
              It's not.             

28
00:01:48,484 --> 00:01:50,653
                So...               

29
00:01:50,695 --> 00:01:54,574
        did you explore while       
      I was away at Moondance?      

30
00:01:56,701 --> 00:01:57,910
              Did you?              

31
00:02:07,503 --> 00:02:10,715
     What do you want me to do?     

32
00:02:10,756 --> 00:02:12,049
       Go and sleep with a guy      

33
00:02:12,091 --> 00:02:15,011
       just so I can tell you       
        how much I hated it?        

34
00:02:15,052 --> 00:02:17,680
    I just want you to be honest    
           with yourself.           

35
00:02:19,557 --> 00:02:22,226
       I just wanna be happy.       

36
00:02:23,936 --> 00:02:28,107
    Does the idea of marrying me    
           make you happy?          

37
00:02:30,693 --> 00:02:32,195
            I don't know.           

38
00:02:36,908 --> 00:02:38,576
       Does it make you happy?      

39
00:02:46,167 --> 00:02:47,919
        It makes me nervous.        

40
00:02:50,004 --> 00:02:51,214
               Me too.              

41
00:02:53,549 --> 00:02:56,677
       Then what are we doing?      

42
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:58,095
            I don't know.           

43
00:03:06,896 --> 00:03:10,358
    I just know that I love you.    

44
00:03:10,399 --> 00:03:13,236
           I love you too.          

45
00:03:13,277 --> 00:03:17,907
        Instead of doing what       
   we think we're supposed to do,   

46
00:03:17,949 --> 00:03:20,868
              for once,             

47
00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:24,747
    let's do what we want to do.    

48
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:28,709
          And what is that?         

49
00:03:28,751 --> 00:03:30,711
          Not get married.          

50
00:03:34,090 --> 00:03:37,134
               -Deal.               
       -[both sigh in relief]       

51

       [romantic music playing      
           through phone]           

52
00:03:51,232 --> 00:03:53,276
              Our song.             

53
00:03:53,317 --> 00:03:55,569
      I was gonna surprise you      
    with our song at the wedding,   

54
00:03:55,611 --> 00:03:58,364
               but...               

55
00:03:58,406 --> 00:04:01,075
     since that's not happening,    

56
00:04:01,117 --> 00:04:04,120
     I figured we could have our    
   first and last dance right now. 

57
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:06,956
              Constantly           

58
00:04:06,998 --> 00:04:11,961
                                    

59
00:04:12,003 --> 00:04:16,173
           I think about you        
             all the time           

60
00:04:16,215 --> 00:04:20,344
               Constantly           
          you're on my mind         

61
00:04:20,386 --> 00:04:23,139
          How do you think          
      people are gonna take it?     

62
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:26,642
             -Take what?            
          -Us breaking up.          

63
00:04:26,684 --> 00:04:29,687
              Mm-mm-mm.             

64
00:04:29,729 --> 00:04:31,564
          They'll be fine.          

65
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:32,898
              [sobbing]             

66
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:35,943
        First I lose my job,        
            and now this?           

67
00:04:35,985 --> 00:04:39,155
           When is Mercury          
      gonna stop retrograding?

70
00:04:45,536 --> 00:04:47,163
              -Thanks.              
              -Mm-hmm.              

71
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:54,128
        I still can't believe       
         you told Nia first.        

72
00:04:54,170 --> 00:04:55,671
    I'm feeling some kind of way.   

73
00:04:55,713 --> 00:04:57,340
    We were on her vision board.    

74
00:04:57,381 --> 00:04:58,674
              You knew?             

75
00:04:58,716 --> 00:05:01,177
        Girl, everybody knew.       
                Yeah.               

76
00:05:01,218 --> 00:05:03,804
         Marie, how are you         
             so relaxed?            

77
00:05:03,846 --> 00:05:05,264
           I'm devastated.          

78
00:05:05,306 --> 00:05:07,516
       Probably 'cause she got      
           other options.           

79
00:05:07,558 --> 00:05:09,018
            I love Chuck.           
            I really do.            

80
00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:11,020
     -I will always love Chuck.     
         -Come on, Whitney.         

81
00:05:11,062 --> 00:05:12,480
          But after we had          
         that conversation,         

82
00:05:12,521 --> 00:05:13,647
         I just felt happy.         

83
00:05:13,689 --> 00:05:15,149
            Mm. Come on.            
              For real.             

84
00:05:15,191 --> 00:05:16,692
             I felt like            
        I had a new attitude.       

85
00:05:16,734 --> 00:05:18,027
             Yes, Patti!            

86
00:05:18,069 --> 00:05:19,528
           [Marie] I'm sad          
          to see Chuck go,          

87
00:05:19,570 --> 00:05:21,697
     but I'm also really excited    
    to get back out there again.    

88
00:05:21,739 --> 00:05:23,866
     There's nothing out there.     

89
00:05:23,908 --> 00:05:25,534
      Don't you have two dudes      
       knocking down your door      

90
00:05:25,576 --> 00:05:26,702
             -right now?            
               -Right.              

91
00:05:26,744 --> 00:05:28,537
      Yeah. One of them is Ben.     

92
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:29,914
               -Sorry.              
               -Yeah.               

93
00:05:29,955 --> 00:05:31,082
    And the other one is Tristan,   

94
00:05:31,123 --> 00:05:33,000
            who is still            
         all over the place.        

95
00:05:33,042 --> 00:05:35,086
     I can't welcome new energy     
            into my house           

96
00:05:35,127 --> 00:05:36,712
           until I settle           
         this shit with Ida         

97
00:05:36,754 --> 00:05:38,172
          and get my sister         
         off my damn couch.         

98
00:05:38,214 --> 00:05:40,132
        I still can't believe       
         that she fired you.        

99
00:05:40,174 --> 00:05:41,926
           Neither can I.           

100
00:05:41,967 --> 00:05:43,969
     You know what, I hear that     
      she gets jealous of women     

101
00:05:44,011 --> 00:05:45,805
         that she thinks are        
         prettier than her.         

102
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:47,681
      I don't think that's it.      

103
00:05:47,723 --> 00:05:49,225
           Do you, Hattie?          

104
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:51,352
            I think that            
         you should look at         

105
00:05:51,394 --> 00:05:54,021
         being away from her        
     toxic energy as a blessing.    

106
00:05:54,063 --> 00:05:56,315
   Getting cast in something else   
        would be a blessing.        

107
00:05:56,357 --> 00:05:57,691
             -It would.             
               -Yeah.               

108
00:05:57,733 --> 00:05:59,568
        Aren't you gonna talk       
     to your new boo about that?    

109
00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:01,362
       Ben is not my new boo.       

110
00:06:01,404 --> 00:06:03,823
     And all he has is an idea.     
   It's not even a real thing yet. 

111
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:05,157
            You shouldn't           
         get your hopes up,         

112
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:06,992
           'cause I doubt           
     it'll ever be a real thing.    

113
00:06:07,034 --> 00:06:09,078
           Negative Nancy           
     has entered the group chat.    

114
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,914
        -Don't call me that.        
      -Stop being so negative.      

115
00:06:11,956 --> 00:06:13,582
               A'ight.              
       I'm late for a meeting.      

116
00:06:13,624 --> 00:06:15,543
           Gotta go. Bye.           

117
00:06:15,584 --> 00:06:16,919
             -Okay, bye.            
           -Love you too.

120
00:06:22,842 --> 00:06:24,301
        Do you think this is        
         a good photo for me        

121
00:06:24,343 --> 00:06:25,970
      to tell the world I'll no     
    longer be on   Cocoa's Butter   ?   

122
00:06:26,011 --> 00:06:27,471
     Yeah, you look real pitiful    
            in this one.            

123
00:06:27,513 --> 00:06:28,806
               [sighs]              

124
00:06:28,848 --> 00:06:30,724
            My emo posts            
     always get the most likes.     

125
00:06:30,766 --> 00:06:33,269
           Mm, I gotta go.          
        I got a meeting too.        

126
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:35,146
             Okay, bye.             

127
00:06:35,187 --> 00:06:37,690
          Hey, look at us,          
       with meetings and shit.      

128
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:40,317
               -Right?              
               -Right?              

129
00:06:40,359 --> 00:06:41,527
                Ooh.                

130
00:06:41,569 --> 00:06:46,866
                                    

131
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:49,285
       It's basically a movie       
        about a happy family        

132
00:06:49,326 --> 00:06:52,746
            on a mission            
     to find eternal happiness.     

133
00:06:52,788 --> 00:06:54,790
       -Do you have a writer?       
           -Making a list.          

134
00:06:54,832 --> 00:06:56,459
     Send it over by end of day.    

135
00:06:58,127 --> 00:06:59,044
               Marie?               

136
00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:00,379
      Quintrell and I sat down      

137
00:07:00,421 --> 00:07:02,256
    with a writer we really liked   
           the other day.           

138
00:07:02,298 --> 00:07:04,800
    She's already read the book,    
          and she loves it.         

139
00:07:04,842 --> 00:07:05,968
         Does she have time         
            to adapt it?            

140
00:07:06,010 --> 00:07:07,303
         We're still trying         
          to find that out.         

141
00:07:07,344 --> 00:07:09,263
        And he's totally over       
           this whole idea          

142
00:07:09,305 --> 00:07:11,223
      -of financing it himself?     
            -[Marie] Yes.           

143
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:13,142
     Now, he does still want to     
    put in some of his own money,   

144
00:07:13,184 --> 00:07:14,977
     but he's down to let us pay    
        for everything else.        

145
00:07:15,019 --> 00:07:16,479
       He wants us to provide       
         the infrastructure         

146
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,272
        and make sure nothing       
      slips through the cracks.     

147
00:07:18,314 --> 00:07:20,816
     -Great. Thank you for that.    
             -Of course.            

148
00:07:20,858 --> 00:07:24,153
    Oh, and I already have talent   
      attached to   Happy People.     

149
00:07:24,195 --> 00:07:26,947
    Oh, that's the actual title?    

150
00:07:26,989 --> 00:07:28,491
           Working title.           

151
00:07:28,532 --> 00:07:29,825
          I should hope so.         

152
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:32,244
      Who do you have attached?     

153
00:07:32,286 --> 00:07:34,371
            Nia Baptiste.           

154
00:07:34,413 --> 00:07:36,749
         -Nia is not a name.        
         -But she should be.        

155
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:38,292
            You're right,           
      but she's not right now,      

156
00:07:38,334 --> 00:07:40,252
        so she can't help you       
        get your movie made.        

157
00:07:40,294 --> 00:07:42,379
      Yeah, it would take a lot     
      to get Ben's movie made.      

158
00:07:42,421 --> 00:07:44,340
      What? I thought you said      
        it was a sure thing.        

159
00:07:44,381 --> 00:07:46,050
               [Marie]              
    You don't even have a script.   

160
00:07:46,091 --> 00:07:48,511
         [Zach] Ben, I'm all        
        for uplifting movies,       

161
00:07:48,552 --> 00:07:52,431
           but right now,           
     your idea is a little thin.    

162
00:07:52,473 --> 00:07:55,309
    White people make thin movies   
   all the time, so why can't we?   

163
00:07:55,351 --> 00:07:57,186
           [Zach] Come on.          
    Don't make this a race thing.

00:08:01,065 --> 00:08:03,526
         Since when did you         
           become so woke?          

166
00:08:03,567 --> 00:08:06,529
        Don't use that word.        

167
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:10,783
        Look, I need you both       
   to bring me some better ideas.   

168
00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:14,495
      Here's one: if you don't      
    make my movie, I'm quitting.    

169
00:08:14,537 --> 00:08:16,830
           [scoffs] Yeah.           
         What are you, five?        

170
00:08:16,872 --> 00:08:18,123
       [Ben] No. I'm serious.       

171
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:20,376
      -You're being ridiculous.     
              -Try me.              

172
00:08:23,254 --> 00:08:24,463
            Oh, come on.            

173
00:08:24,505 --> 00:08:25,923
                -Ben.               
             -[Ben] Nah.            

174
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:30,177
                -Wow.               
         -[exhales sharply]         

175
00:08:30,219 --> 00:08:33,681
        Do you actually think       
             he'll quit?            

176
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:36,892
      I don't know. We'll cross     
   that bridge when we get to it.   

177
00:08:44,817 --> 00:08:46,402
                What?               

178
00:08:49,154 --> 00:08:51,073
        Chuck and I broke up.       

179
00:08:53,242 --> 00:08:54,910
             [Zach] Why?            

180
00:08:54,952 --> 00:08:57,538
          What do you mean?         

181
00:08:57,580 --> 00:08:59,123
              I just--              

182
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:03,252
        What, you think that        
    I broke up with him for you?    

183
00:09:03,294 --> 00:09:06,839
               I mean,              
     I don't know what to think.    

184
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,342
            He and I both           
          realized that...          

185
00:09:10,384 --> 00:09:13,679
   we have a lot of growing to do. 

186
00:09:13,721 --> 00:09:15,347
         [Zach] I get that.         

187
00:09:17,933 --> 00:09:19,476
            I'm so sorry.           

188
00:09:22,771 --> 00:09:25,065
             Is that it?            

189
00:09:25,107 --> 00:09:29,236
               I mean,              
    do you want there to be more?   

190
00:09:29,278 --> 00:09:30,362
       I guess I just thought       

191
00:09:30,404 --> 00:09:33,616
       you'd have more to say       
             than that.             

192
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,122
         I have a great deal        
     of respect for you, Marie.     

193
00:09:40,164 --> 00:09:43,042
         Okay? I really do.         

194
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:44,585
   I don't want this to get weird. 

195
00:09:44,627 --> 00:09:47,463
      I just want us to thrive      
        and make good movies.

00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:08,817
             I told you             
         I was gon' get it.         

201
00:10:08,859 --> 00:10:10,569

        before you can walk.

      doing plenty of crawling.     

207

      they said my name again,      

224
00:10:57,533 --> 00:10:59,201
      I forgot to pretend like      
      I didn't know who I was,      

225
00:10:59,243 --> 00:11:00,828

       And I was like, "Huh?"       

227
00:11:02,746 --> 00:11:04,331

       -[Hattie]   I don't know.      

258
00:12:14,443 --> 00:12:16,612
    He said he wanted to see me.    

259
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:19,281
          He ain't seen you         
            in 10 years.            

260
00:12:19,323 --> 00:12:20,783
          What he want now?         

261
00:12:20,824 --> 00:12:21,950
            I don't know.           

262
00:12:21,992 --> 00:12:23,452
    [Esther]   Don't give that fool   
               no money.             

263
00:12:23,494 --> 00:12:25,496
    I ain't got no money to give.   

264
00:12:25,537 --> 00:12:28,791
        When you see his ass,       
      you tell him to call me.      

265
00:12:28,832 --> 00:12:30,000
            [Hattie]   Why?           

266
00:12:30,042 --> 00:12:31,877
           He still owe me          
     for that pack of cigarettes    

267
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:33,128
        I bought him in '92.        

268
00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:35,214
             [laughter]             

269
00:12:35,255 --> 00:12:36,924
              Bye, Ma.              
             I love you.            

270
00:12:36,965 --> 00:12:39,301
     All right, I love you too.     
      Don't give him no money!      

271
00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:40,636
      [canned laughter on TV]       

272
00:12:42,012 --> 00:12:45,641
 Whoo! Don't make no sense. Look   
               at it.               

273
00:12:45,682 --> 00:12:46,975
          So when were you          
            gonna tell me           

274
00:12:47,017 --> 00:12:48,143
           that you agreed          
          to do his movie?          

275
00:12:48,185 --> 00:12:50,270
           I didn't agree           
           to do anything.          

276
00:12:50,312 --> 00:12:51,897
       We just talked about it      
            over drinks.            

277
00:12:51,939 --> 00:12:54,066
        I still can't believe       
      you had drinks with him.      

278
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:55,734
              Come on.              
          I'm not that bad.         

279
00:12:55,776 --> 00:12:58,153
      It's not nice to sneak up     
   on people when they're talking. 

280
00:12:58,195 --> 00:13:00,656
         He does this to me         
            all the time.           

281
00:13:00,697 --> 00:13:02,991
    Well, I'm not gonna be around   
          to do it anymore.         

282
00:13:03,033 --> 00:13:05,452
           -[Marie] What?           
            -I just quit.           

283
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:06,662
        I'm tired of working        
            for the man.            

284
00:13:06,703 --> 00:13:08,664
     -[Marie] Stop saying that.     
            -I'm serious.           

285
00:13:08,705 --> 00:13:10,499
            I'm starting            
     my own production company.     

286
00:13:10,541 --> 00:13:12,334
        Do you know how many        
   production companies there are   

287
00:13:12,376 --> 00:13:14,169
            in this town?           
             A million.             

288
00:13:14,211 --> 00:13:15,838
          Well, now there's         
        gonna be 1,000,0001.        

289
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:19,174
       So, call me when you're      
    settled in your new offices.    

290
00:13:19,216 --> 00:13:21,844
        My office is gonna be       
   in my garage for the next year. 

291
00:13:21,885 --> 00:13:24,346
                 Oh.                

292
00:13:24,388 --> 00:13:26,056
     [Marie] Ben, don't do this.    

293
00:13:26,098 --> 00:13:27,558
         It's already done.         

294
00:13:27,599 --> 00:13:29,852
           I think you're           
          making a mistake.         

295
00:13:29,893 --> 00:13:31,228
         If I don't do this,        

296
00:13:31,270 --> 00:13:33,689
     I'm always gonna be working    
          for someone else.         

297
00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:36,692
           I want to know           
          what I'm made of.         

298
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:38,193
             Don't you?             

299
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:45,033
          Do I have consent         
         to hug you goodbye?        

300
00:13:45,075 --> 00:13:46,535
             Of course.             

301
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,711
          [exhales heavily]         
     I'm gonna miss this place.     

302
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:56,879
           No, you're not.          

303

              [laughs]              

304
00:13:58,422 --> 00:14:01,466
           Probably right.          

305
00:14:01,508 --> 00:14:03,343
    I am gonna miss you, though.    

306
00:14:03,385 --> 00:14:07,222
              [squeals]             
        Aw, that's so sweet.        

307
00:14:07,264 --> 00:14:11,560
      Nia, hope you'll swing by     
   my garage when it's all set up.

00:14:13,604 --> 00:14:16,064
      And hopefully we can make     
        the movie next year.        

310
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:18,567
         I would love that.         

311
00:14:18,609 --> 00:14:21,236
      It's been cool getting to     
   know you these past few weeks.

              -I won't.

00:14:37,544 --> 00:14:40,380
          -[Marie] You are?         
            -[Nia] Yeah.            

319
00:14:40,422 --> 00:14:42,716
        He's taking his life        
         into his own hands.        

320
00:14:42,758 --> 00:14:44,760
    He's not following the rules.   

321

00:15:15,999 --> 00:15:18,627
        -That's not possible.       
    -Yeah, he just announced it.    

333
00:15:21,296 --> 00:15:23,298
    Why wouldn't he tell me this?   

334
00:15:26,969 --> 00:15:29,346
            Did you think           
     if you and Chuck broke up,     

335
00:15:29,388 --> 00:15:32,265
          you and Quintrell         
         would have a shot?         

336
00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:36,103
    I don't know what I thought.    
              I just--              

337
00:15:36,144 --> 00:15:39,064

339
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:43,986
            I don't think           
       that's in your destiny.      

340
00:15:44,027 --> 00:15:46,697
      I think you should spend

      much better than before.      

348

           -I write jokes.          

384
00:18:13,969 --> 00:18:16,555
         Look, being a comic        
     and being a comedic writer     

385
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:18,056
      are two different things.     

386
00:18:18,098 --> 00:18:20,392
   -[Dwayne] I wrote on a sitcom.   
            -You did not.           

387
00:18:20,433 --> 00:18:22,310
      You were a extra on   Thea.     

388
00:18:22,352 --> 00:18:24,312
          I pitched a joke,         

389
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:25,939
         -and they used it.         
               -Okay.               

390
00:18:25,981 --> 00:18:29,192
        So maybe your manager       
      might want to talk to me.     

391
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:35,824
         Wow. So that's why         
         you wanted to talk?        

392
00:18:35,866 --> 00:18:38,326
            I was joking.           
         I was just joking.         

393
00:18:38,368 --> 00:18:41,705
          That's what I do.         
            I tell jokes.           

394
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:42,831
                Hmm.                

395
00:18:46,334 --> 00:18:49,546
       [stammers, then sighs]       
    Well, it was good seeing you.   

396
00:18:51,214 --> 00:18:54,968
           You've seen me,          
      so I guess I can go now.      

397
00:18:55,010 --> 00:18:58,805
         Look, listen. Look,        
     I got a show in a few days,    

398
00:18:58,847 --> 00:19:01,516
      and I would love for you      
      to come and check me out.     

399
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:06,646
                Man.                
      How much do tickets cost?     

400
00:19:06,688 --> 00:19:08,023
       [Dwayne] It's my show.       
      I'll put you on the list.     

401
00:19:08,064 --> 00:19:10,859
         It's not a problem.        
         I'm the headliner.         

402
00:19:10,901 --> 00:19:13,361
         -Can my girls come?        
           -Are they cute?          

403
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:16,198
     Okay, your girls can come.     
        Yeah, they can come.        

404
00:19:16,239 --> 00:19:18,450
           Sure. Why not?           

405
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:20,118
               [sighs]              
      I'll try to come through.     

406
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,537
           Wait a minute.           
       What do you mean "try"?      

407
00:19:22,579 --> 00:19:24,706
      I'ma try to come through,     
            like I said.            

408
00:19:24,748 --> 00:19:29,294
      Either you're gonna come,     
      or you're not gonna come.     

409
00:19:29,336 --> 00:19:30,837
             Fine, man.             
             I'll come.             

410
00:19:30,879 --> 00:19:32,839

      Why are you really here?      

414
00:19:55,695 --> 00:19:58,031
         Because I love you         
        and you need my help.       

415

            Okay. Pause.            

416
00:20:07,749 --> 00:20:09,584
       Now tell me the truth.       

417
00:20:18,301 --> 00:20:20,971
            Winston and I           
       are having some issues.      

418

          getting pregnant?

                Yes.                

420
00:20:30,981 --> 00:20:33,566
              Oh, God.

    No, please, I've been keeping   
   everybody's secrets these days.

   won't even entertain that idea. 

426
00:20:48,331 --> 00:20:51,293
               Oh, no.              

427
00:20:51,334 --> 00:20:52,961

         It's been so hard.         

429
00:21:01,344 --> 00:21:03,179
       Why didn't you tell me?      

430
00:21:03,221 --> 00:21:04,848
          'Cause, it's not          
          the kind of thing         

431
00:21:04,889 --> 00:21:06,850
     that I want to talk about.

          on your problems

         but at some point,

          I have to go home         
        and face my own life.

      I'm always here for you.      

438
00:21:24,743 --> 00:21:27,787
               I know.              
           And I love you.

         we're gonna make it

00:21:57,692 --> 00:22:00,362
         Are you mad at me?         

445
00:22:00,403 --> 00:22:02,364
          No, I'm not mad.          

446
00:22:02,405 --> 00:22:05,075
        I just wanted to know       
     what was going on with you.    

447
00:22:12,957 --> 00:22:16,211
        You ready to tell me?       

448
00:22:16,252 --> 00:22:18,088
         I saw my dad today.        

449
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:24,803
             -Your dad?             
              -Mm-hmm.              

450
00:22:24,844 --> 00:22:26,971
       When was the last time       
            you saw him?            

451
00:22:28,765 --> 00:22:32,310
          I was, like, 15.          

452
00:22:32,352 --> 00:22:35,397
             How was it?            

453
00:22:35,438 --> 00:22:38,233
        It was weird, but...        

454
00:22:38,274 --> 00:22:40,193
           What'd he want?          

455
00:22:40,235 --> 00:22:43,738
            He got a show           
       he want me to come to.       

456
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:46,157
             You going?             

457
00:22:46,199 --> 00:22:48,410
      I mean, he didn't give me     
      much of a choice, but...      

458
00:22:48,451 --> 00:22:51,538
      You always have a choice.     

459
00:22:51,579 --> 00:22:55,625
       Yeah, but he's my dad,       
    and, you know, I don't know,    

460
00:22:55,667 --> 00:22:58,253
      I just feel like I should     
      support his ass, I guess.     

461
00:23:02,006 --> 00:23:04,759
     You want to be my plus-one?    

462
00:23:04,801 --> 00:23:06,928
          You ready for me          
          to meet your dad?         

463
00:23:06,970 --> 00:23:09,139
    I already told him about you.   

464
00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:12,267
              -You did?             
           -Mm-hmm. Yeah.           

465
00:23:12,308 --> 00:23:14,269

                -Hey.               
                -Hmm?

      The next time you dealing     
      with some shit, tell me.      

468
00:23:35,165 --> 00:23:36,458
               I will.

                -No.

            up in there.

                Yeah.
