175
00:07:11,806 --> 00:07:13,391
Steven tells me
that the Thirsty Chef's
176
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:15,393
been scrubbed from every corner
of the internet.
177
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:18,646
Yes, you and your
campaign manager can relax.
178
00:07:18,688 --> 00:07:20,315
I'll be perfect
till Election Day.
179
00:07:20,357 --> 00:07:23,360
Look, I know
we've been hard on you.
180
00:07:23,401 --> 00:07:24,986
But you should know
that we're very proud
181
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:26,654
of how you handled
that situation with Kylo
182
00:07:26,696 --> 00:07:28,198
and got out of that contract.
183
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:29,783
Who knows?
184
00:07:29,824 --> 00:07:31,868
Maybe law school's
still in your future.
185
00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:35,955
Hey, yo, Aunt Viv,
186
00:07:35,997 --> 00:07:37,374
my mom used to tell me stories
187
00:07:37,415 --> 00:07:39,501
about how you used to sing
off-key at church.
188
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:41,336
Is that true?
- No!
189
00:07:41,378 --> 00:07:43,505
Because, unlike Vy,
I can harmonize.
190
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:46,299
Ah!
191
00:07:52,514 --> 00:07:56,726
The Bible warns us
not to have two masters.
192
00:07:58,269 --> 00:08:02,232
Because we cannot divide
our devotion and our ambitions
193
00:08:02,273 --> 00:08:05,985
any more than we can divide
our hearts and our souls.
194
00:08:06,027 --> 00:08:07,404
Mm.
195
00:08:07,445 --> 00:08:10,657
I see a lot of you all
out there trying to serve
196
00:08:10,699 --> 00:08:12,784
three and four
different masters.
197
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:14,244
You want money,
198
00:08:14,285 --> 00:08:17,038
fame, power, and...
come on now.
199
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,415
Preach!
200
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:20,625
Eternal life.
201
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:22,877
- Hmm.
- Now hear me.
202
00:08:22,919 --> 00:08:24,796
Lily of the Valley Church,
203
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:27,257
you better choose the one
who loves you back!
204
00:08:29,801 --> 00:08:31,428
- Preach!
- Mm.
205
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,721
You better choose God.
206
00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:37,350
Now for the real reason
you all come here
207
00:08:37,392 --> 00:08:39,936
and tolerate my words.
208
00:08:39,978 --> 00:08:42,689
This young man hasn't
graced our church
209
00:08:42,731 --> 00:08:44,357
with his voice in a few years.
210
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:46,985
I'm so glad to have
Carlton Banks back here
211
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:49,404
with us today
to share his gift.
212
00:08:49,446 --> 00:08:50,572

for the church choir, please?

you're not telling me about,
right?
239
00:10:32,590 --> 00:10:35,760
No, why would you think
we'd hide anything from you?
240
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:37,595
I don't know,
it just seems like you and Dad
241
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:39,681
like to keep things from me
for my own good.
242
00:10:39,723 --> 00:10:42,017
Listen.
Your brother's fine.
243
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:46,354
So what's up, then?
244
00:10:46,396 --> 00:10:49,524
Yeah, I was
just noticing that
245
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:52,444
you've gone from promoting
climate change
246
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:55,613
to championing LGBTQ causes,
247
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:58,658
and I was just
checking in about that.
248
00:10:58,700 --> 00:10:59,868
Civil rights
and climate change
249
00:10:59,909 --> 00:11:01,786
are both very vital
social issues.
250
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:02,954
I agree.
251
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:04,748
And I haven't traded one
for the other.
252
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:07,375
I'm just advocating
on multiple fronts.
253
00:11:07,417 --> 00:11:09,627
I get that--
in fact, I love it.
254
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:11,546
I was just wondering
if there was a reason why
255
00:11:11,588 --> 00:11:13,923
gay rights has become
more important to you.
256
00:11:13,965 --> 00:11:15,300
Seriously?
257
00:11:15,342 --> 00:11:16,676
I mean, the real question is,
258
00:11:16,718 --> 00:11:18,595
why aren't the human rights
of any social group
259
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:20,138
at the top
of everyone's concerns?
260
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:22,390
Of course, I mean,
that's why your father
261
00:11:22,432 --> 00:11:24,809
and I donated
to marriage equality.
262
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:26,227
Commendable,
263
00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:28,730
although those issues
have advanced beyond that.
264
00:11:28,772 --> 00:11:30,648
Listen,
265
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:33,777
I just want you to know that
you can talk to me
266
00:11:33,818 --> 00:11:36,404
about these issues,
or other issues.
267
00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:39,157
I mean,
whatever's on your mind.
268
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:41,201

Hmm?
269

Okay.
Thanks.

271
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:51,211

God, I felt so bad
for Carlton up there.
274

Yo, he was killing it too.
- I know.
275
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:09,771
He can really sing.
276
00:12:09,813 --> 00:12:11,856

stage fright like that

all of a sudden.
278
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:14,859

it's just nerves?

Yeah, what else would it be?
280
00:12:19,614 --> 00:12:21,741
What do you know, cuz?
- I don't know nothin'.

No, I'm talking about
the hard stuff.

I've seen it get scary.

Wait, you really
don't know about this?
289
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:40,885
No.
290
00:12:40,927 --> 00:12:43,013
I guess
I just wasn't paying attention.
291
00:12:43,054 --> 00:12:44,681
Okay, this is bad.
292
00:12:46,891 --> 00:12:48,476
Okay, Will,
you need to go talk to him
293
00:12:48,518 --> 00:12:49,894
and figure out
what the deal is.
294
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:51,354
I don't know if
he wants to talk to me.
295
00:12:51,396 --> 00:12:53,857
Look, sometimes, family means
checking in with people,
296
00:12:53,898 --> 00:12:55,942
whether they want that or not.
297
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:57,736
You think I want my parents
all up in my business
298
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:59,571
all the time?
- Why don't you go talk to him?
299
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:00,864
Well, I haven't seen
what you've seen,
300
00:13:00,905 --> 00:13:03,074
so it'd be different
coming from me.
301
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:05,410
Besides, you two are really
getting along now, right?
302
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:08,038
Yeah, we are actually.
303
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:10,331
Okay, I'll talk to him.

00:13:10,373 --> 00:13:12,876
Thank you.

Oh, you mean,
like, right now?
306
00:13:19,174 --> 00:13:21,676
Yeah, I'll keep
your plate warm for you.
307
00:13:24,346 --> 00:13:25,472
Just one sec...

00:13:25,513 --> 00:13:27,098

Hey.
Are you free right now?

- Come in.
- C, you all right?

00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:51,289
I'm fine.
313
00:13:51,331 --> 00:13:52,374
Are you sure?
314
00:13:52,415 --> 00:13:53,792
What do you want, Will?
315
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:55,377
I honestly just want
to know how you're doing
316
00:13:55,418 --> 00:13:57,671
and what happened up there.
317
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:01,675
I didn't eat
anything this morning,
318
00:14:01,716 --> 00:14:04,052
the church was hot as hell,
and I felt dizzy.
319
00:14:04,094 --> 00:14:06,054
And I didn't want
anyone to see me fall out.
320
00:14:06,096 --> 00:14:07,514
Happy?
321
00:14:07,555 --> 00:14:09,766
Okay...
322
00:14:09,808 --> 00:14:13,061
Don't give me "Okay."
What are you getting at, Will?
323
00:14:13,103 --> 00:14:16,272
Listen,
last time you got stage fright,
324
00:14:16,314 --> 00:14:17,982
you were supposed to do
that poem with Lisa,
325
00:14:18,024 --> 00:14:19,818
but instead, you were
doing coke in your closet.
326
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:21,319
And today I could tell
you were nervous, so--
327
00:14:21,361 --> 00:14:22,737
I wasn't nervous.
328
00:14:22,779 --> 00:14:25,156
You don't know shit, Will.
329
00:14:25,198 --> 00:14:27,659
I suffer from anxiety.
330
00:14:27,701 --> 00:14:29,119
And the sad part is,
I have anxiety
331
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,704
about telling people
I have anxiety,
332
00:14:30,745 --> 00:14:32,163
and so then
it just builds on itself,
333
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:35,041
and it just keeps going,
and it gets louder and louder,
334
00:14:35,083 --> 00:14:36,543
and, you know,
335
00:14:36,584 --> 00:14:40,088
I use the drugs to--
to cope with it.
336
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:52,058
You know, it's funny 'cause
I didn't even use them today.
337
00:14:56,312 --> 00:14:57,897
I probably should have.
338
00:15:00,734 --> 00:15:03,361
I knew I was gonna struggle.
339
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:05,030
I saw all the red flags,
340
00:15:05,071 --> 00:15:08,742
but my dad was just
so excited to have me sing.
341
00:15:08,783 --> 00:15:11,369
I just want
to make my dad proud of me.
342
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:13,413
The grades, the sports...
343
00:15:13,455 --> 00:15:15,957
Carlton...
344
00:15:15,999 --> 00:15:18,209
your dad thinks
the world of you.
345
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:21,463
And if you need me, I'm there
for you whenever, wherever.
346
00:15:21,504 --> 00:15:24,549
You're struggling?
Let me know.
347
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:27,177
If you think
you need them drugs?
348
00:15:27,218 --> 00:15:29,471
Look at me.
349
00:15:29,512 --> 00:15:31,389
Let me know.

My intention--

once the painting was done.
503
00:22:55,625 --> 00:22:58,003
Because painting
is the easy part.
504
00:22:58,044 --> 00:23:01,172
It's natural.
It's my gift from God.
505
00:23:01,214 --> 00:23:03,133
But once the paint dries,
506
00:23:03,174 --> 00:23:06,052
you have to explain
who you are,
507
00:23:06,094 --> 00:23:09,848
then you have to explain
your work to these men,
508
00:23:09,889 --> 00:23:12,225
and then you have to fight
to get into an exhibit,
509
00:23:12,267 --> 00:23:13,977
fight to be noticed,
510
00:23:14,019 --> 00:23:17,063
and I got tired of trying
to twist whatever I was doing
511
00:23:17,105 --> 00:23:20,734
to fit into whatever
was popular on the scene.
512
00:23:20,775 --> 00:23:22,569
And then
you have to fight even harder
513

to be sold.
514
00:23:23,945 --> 00:23:25,405
It's just too much.
515
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:26,948
Then what brought you back?
516
00:23:30,785 --> 00:23:34,414
My nephew,
he moved in with us.
517
00:23:34,456 --> 00:23:37,250
And he is just...
518
00:23:37,292 --> 00:23:40,587
so free and...
519
00:23:40,628 --> 00:23:43,089
unapologetically himself.
520
00:23:43,131 --> 00:23:46,926
Got this fire
to just take life head on,
521
00:23:46,968 --> 00:23:51,264
and I was like,
"I used to be like that."
522
00:23:51,306 --> 00:23:55,310
And I realized,
I can still be like that.
523
00:23:56,853 --> 00:24:01,441
That realization got me excited
to create again.
524
00:24:01,483 --> 00:24:05,236
And once I got started, I just
wanted to do it more and more,

Well, go ask Will yourself,
if that's what it's gonna take.
632
00:30:02,635 --> 00:30:04,929
But once you know the truth,
that better be

you speak with him.

How did you get
your hands on that?
635
00:30:26,701 --> 00:30:29,162
He gave it to me.
636
00:30:29,204 --> 00:30:31,456
Yeah, apparently,
even Will realizes
637
00:30:31,498 --> 00:30:33,667
he doesn't need Lou
in his life right now.
638
00:30:33,708 --> 00:30:37,212
Or he was too scared
to open it alone.
639
00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:41,675
Maybe, instead of taking
the answer from him,
640
00:30:41,716 --> 00:30:43,843
we should have helped him
to confront the truth.

since our meeting today,

785
00:38:40,987 --> 00:38:45,116
you went over the guidelines

Did you have a question?

No, I...
788

Listen, it's like this.
789
00:38:51,831 --> 00:38:53,583
My husband is
in the middle of a campaign,
790
00:38:53,625 --> 00:38:55,126
running for district attorney,
791
00:38:55,168 --> 00:38:57,796
and I think he has
a real shot of winning.
792
00:38:57,837 --> 00:39:01,591
And then my nephew
just moved in with us,
793
00:39:01,633 --> 00:39:03,802
which has been an adjustment,
to say the least,
794
00:39:03,843 --> 00:39:06,596
then my son, who has had
anxiety issues in the past,
795
00:39:06,638 --> 00:39:08,556
seems like he's starting
to struggle with that again--
796
00:39:08,598 --> 00:39:10,558
oh, and then I have
a daughter walking around
797
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,060
hiding secrets from me
because she thinks
798
00:39:12,102 --> 00:39:14,020
I can't handle it,
and I got another daughter
799
00:39:14,062 --> 00:39:15,980
who's sharin' all her business
on social media,
800
00:39:16,022 --> 00:39:17,941
so when I put
all that together,
801
00:39:17,982 --> 00:39:22,320
in terms of what I should do,
instead of what I can do,
802
00:39:22,362 --> 00:39:24,447
I really just don't think
this is the right time for me--
803
00:39:24,489 --> 00:39:26,533
Vivian,
as I told you,
804
00:39:26,574 --> 00:39:29,619
our policy is to give artists
24 hours
805
00:39:29,661 --> 00:39:32,163
to consider
whether or not to accept.
806
00:39:32,205 --> 00:39:35,166
Now we have good reasons to be
strict about that policy.
