All language subtitles for Bob Hearts Abishola s04e13 Happy People Are Lazy.eng

Abishola needs
fuel for the day,

not diabetes.

She's taking the MCAT,

so I'm making her
a cat face pancake.

It looks like an elephant.

That's not a trunk,
that's his tongue.

You want one?

Sugar reduces production

of the brain-derived
neurotrophic factor.

So, no?

You do not care about my
daughter's neurotrophic factor?

I'm just having a little fun.

I see now that was a mistake.

Good morning.

There she is.
EBUNOLUWA: Good morning.

Mwah.

Have a seat, future doctor.

We made you breakfast.

It's more like dessert.
Hey.

Sorry.

You did not have to do this.

How you feeling? Nervous?

Ah, it should be
nothing for Abishola.

Every half-witted physician
has passed that test.

But we will love you
no matter what happens.

I do not share that sentiment.

I'm not taking the test today.

Oh, no, honey, it's today.

I put it in my calendar.
"Abi MCAT.

"Make pancakes.

Keep mouth shut.
Keep Ebun's mouth shut."

Eh-eh.
Sorry.

I postponed my test.
What?

Are you dying?
No.

Is Bob dying?

No.
Dele,

are you dying?
I don't think so.

There, no one is dying.

But if you do not take
the test, it will kill me.

It is not the right time.

The right time
was 15 years ago.

It would be better if we wait

until Bob's factory
is fully operational.

The factory's
gonna be fine.

And if not,
we need you to be a doctor.

Can we talk about this later?

Well, at least eat something.

Sugar reduces the production
of the...

You know what?

("Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing)

Hello, Christina.

Oh, hey, Kofo.

What are you doing?

Oh, I'm done dusting,

so I thought I'd start doodling.

You doodled
a marketing campaign?

It's a plan to get more
children into our socks.

We hook them when they're young

and then they become
lifelong customers.

Like a cigarette company.

Goodwin will love it.
Oh.

I hope so. I never updated
my LinkedIn to janitor

and I'm starting
to feel like a liar.

Have faith. Things
worked out for me.

Oh, it was awesome to watch
you get promoted over Goodwin.

I will admit,
it was a baller move.

It's too bad he got promoted
over you again.

Yes, it is unfortunate.

You know, sometimes I
sit in Goodwin's chair

and pretend that
I became president. Hm.

I bet you'd make
a wonderful boss.

No, even in my fantasies
I'm a pushover.

Morning, everyone.

Good morning.
Good morning, boss.

Let's get to it. Douglas,
what is on the agenda?

Marketing ideas.

Oh, well, then I guess
you'll need the board.

Thank you, Christina.

Douglas, please
erase those doodles.

On it.

Wh...
I'll give you a tip.

If you want to impress Goodwin,
he loves a clean board.

A little help?

(low, indistinct conversations)

What?

You know what.

You should be on the second hour

of the MCAT with a cramped
hand and a full bladder.

It is not a good time.

Well, I cannot wait much longer.

I already have family members
counting on your prescriptions.

Why would you make
these promises?

Because I had no idea
you'd become a lazy failure.

I am doing what is best
for my family.

I have known you 20 years.

How long have you known Bob?

He's practically a stranger.

Honey, you have a chance
I never got.

Don't waste it.

We need more women doctors.

Hell, we need more
Black doctors.

And look at you,
you can be both.

I do not need you telling me
what to do.

This is my life

and my decision.

She's not even storming off.

Just like I said. Lazy.

Well, maybe it's good.

Now that she's not
studying all the time,

she can do more
things she likes.

What is it she likes to do?

Study.

It is obvious
what is happening here.

What?

I've seen it many times
over the years.

Seen what?

Especially with Nigerian women.

Tell me what it is.

Abishola has given up
her life's dream

to help you achieve yours.

There's no way she's giving up
prescribing compression socks

to watch me make them.

My mother stayed home so
my father could be a doctor.

My auntie did the
same thing with my uncle.

She even supported him
when he gave up his law practice

to become a magician.

He calls himself
the Amazing Chinedu.

He is anything but.

Well, I'm not
the Great Bob-dini,

but Abishola's dreams
are just as important as mine.

Well, that must be why
we are in a factory

that she did not want.

I did this for the both of us.

That is what my uncle
tells my aunt

every night
before she climbs in a box

and he cuts her in half.

Christina, come in.

Uh, before you say anything,

the humane ant traps
are working

and I plan on releasing
the colony into the wild.

I do not care.

Sit, I want your opinion
on a marketing strategy.

Oh, my God, you do see me.

I'm considering a
new sock promotion:

"Find A Foot."

People send in
pictures of feet

for a free pair of socks.

Whose feet?

Any foot will do.

A foot on the beach.
A foot in a taxi.

A foot in the spa.

This seems less like
a marketing campaign

and more like a pending lawsuit.

Very well.

I will tell Kofo that his
perverted idea is terrible.

Oh, uh, yeah, I-I didn't
realize it was Kofo's idea.

You know, it might work.

Even perverts need to buy socks.

I have been unsatisfied
with Kofo's performance.

Come up with an
alternative campaign,

and I will consider
promoting you.

Wow, thank you.

I-I won't let you down.

So, if-if I move up,
what-what happens to Kofo?

Do not worry.
He will be taken care of.

You don't mean "taken care
of" in a good way, do you?

No. I didn't think so.

Dottie, I'm looking
for private nursing work.

Do you know anyone
who may need help?

Oh, let me check
my Facebook.

You want bedridden
or wanders out of the house

in their underwear?

Who's in their underwear?

Your mother's friends.

She's helping me find
at-home patients.

Mom, keep your dying friends
to yourself.

You sure?

Right off the bat,
I got two broken hips

and a botched face-lift.

I'm not losing you
to the Stepford Grannies.

We're signing you up
for the MCAT.

I do not need you to do that.

You can't be a doctor
without taking the test.

Eh, here's one
in a couple of weeks.

Three spaces left.
Bob, stop.

I can't live with myself knowing

you gave up your dreams
for mine.

That is not what I am doing.

Good to know.

So, what are you doing?

Nothing.

Come on, this isn't like you.

I'm not dropping this,
level with me.

I'm not sure if I want
to be a doctor anymore.

Okay, I hear your words, but
they're not making any sense.

I know.

So, what's changed?
I don't know.

Come here.

(quietly):
It's okay.

Agnes Snyder. Osteoporosis.

She's got bones
like a cooked chicken.

Have you seen my work ID?

You're going to work?
(scoffs)

It's Monday.
What else would I be doing?

You made a pretty big
declaration last night.

I think you should
take the day off.

And I think you should stop
talking nonsense

and help me find my ID.
Come on.

Don't you guys get
mental health days?

Yes, and I laugh at the people
who take them.

Where is it?

Bob, can you please keep
your shoes in the closet?

Those are actually slippers.
They're meant to look like...

I do not care what they are.

Okay.

I had it yesterday.

Did you touch it?

Oh, yeah. I like to set up

little morning
scavenger hunts for you.

This is not the time
for your silly jokes.

Abishola.

No more talking
until we find my ID.

Abishola.
Shh.

I know it is close.

Abishola!
What?

Oh.

Now get my phone.
Yeah.

(ringing)

Cardiology,
how can I help you?

Hey, Abishola.

Uh-huh.

Oh, so it's like
a mental health day.

Okay, I didn't mean
any offense by it.

We'll see you tomorrow.

A mental health day.

My God.

I will alert
her loved ones.

Where's Abishola?

I don't know.

What kind of
useless husband

does not keep track
of his wife?

One that knows when
his wife needs space.

What kind of useless
husband gives his wife space?

I'm worried about my daughter.

Me, too.

It is not like her
to give up on something

she has worked so hard on
for so long.

I know.

I tried to talk to her,
I'm not sure what else to do.

Sometimes a child
just needs her mother.

I want to be
there for her.

To hold her hand,
pull her close

and tell her
she is being an idiot!

Wow. You almost had me.

E kaale.
Oh, my poor, sweet grandson.

Do you know where
we can find your mother?

Dele, it's a trap.
Go to your room.

(machines whirring)

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Hey, Abishola.
Are you free right now?

I don' think
I've ever truly been free.

Okay, great.
So, I have an opportunity.

I can climb the corporate
ladder, but to do it,

I have to step on Kofo's
cute little fingers.

Who cares?

So, I should just
keep climbing up

and ignore his screams?

What do I know?

I'm taking a mental health day.

(laughing)

Yeah, right.

Can you imagine?

Oh, God,
you'd want to die. (laughs)

Oh. I see what you're doing.

Do you?

Please, tell me.

You aren't gonna provide me
with the answers

'cause it's time I start
providing them for myself.

Thanks, girlie.

I'm gonna let you
get back to work.

Oh, well, sorry.

"Mental health day."

(whirring)

(cheering and applause
over video game)

Wait, is that goalie's name
Bob Wheeler?

I name the players in my soccer
game after my family members.

Ah, they just
scored on me. Yes.

You're quite slow.

(video game crowd cheering)

How come I can't be
the guy that scored?

That was Auntie Olu.
She's amazing.

So, how you doing?

You know,
in the real world.

I'm fine.

You don't have to pretend.

I mean, your mom is going
through something right now

and we're all a little worried.

She'll be fine.

She always
figures it out.

That's why I made her the coach.

It's natural to be freaked out.
Uh-huh.

Especially if you feel like
you're not allowed

to be part of the solution.

Uh-huh?

And you don't want to overstep,
but you want to be supportive.

I'm her husband, she should be
sharing these things with me.

And instead, you're here
sharing them with me.

(crowd cheering)

Oh, look,
I blocked a goal.

That wasn't you.

You got subbed
out for Auntie Kemi.

She's amazing.

Abishola?

Ah. Auntie, Uncle.

How did you find me?

Nothing calms your worried
mind like tumbling linens.

We always knew when
you were struggling because

all the comforters
would be missing.

(sighs)

Kemi told us about
your mental day.

(whispers):
Ah. Lower your voice.

I used to always be thinking
about what was next.

What I had to do,
who I had to be.

But lately, my mind
has been... quiet.

Quiet?

When I am at home with Bob,

I have this strange
and unnatural feeling

that everything is okay.

What is wrong with me?

This will come as a shock,
but I believe you are happy.

Oh. That is ridiculous.

We are as surprised as you are.

I have sabotaged my own career
and I don't even care.

The-the symptoms
sneak up on you.

It happened to me
the day I met Olu.

I was in the library
studying for my chemistry exam

and I heard the giggle
of an angel.

I was the angel.

That sweet sound
led me to my soulmate.

I was the soulmate.

And from that moment on,

I did not care what I got
on that chemistry exam.

I wanted to hear that laugh.

(giggles)

Oh, Tunde.

(giggling)

It never gets old.

So what do I do now?

Enjoy yourself.

But hide it from others.

Most people find
happiness irritating.

(knocking on door)

Hey, Kofo, you busy?

Just deleting pictures of feet
from my laptop.

I'm giving you a heads-up.

Goodwin asked me to present
my own marketing campaign.

Oh.

I didn't want to do it
without telling you.

I want you to know...

your fingers matter to me.

Thank you?

I'm so sorry, Kofo.

Do not be.

You deserve the opportunity.

But you should know,

I will not be giving up
without a fight.

Oh, of course.

May the best
marketing executive win.

I will even wish you
good luck.

That is how confident I am.

I'm not afraid either.

I hope you knock 'em dead.

I am going to,
right in front of you.

Bring it on.

Then you can watch me
hit it out of the park.

Yes, we will both be watching
each other hitting it hard.

I'll hit it harder.

I will also
be hitting it harder.

Hm. Will you now?

Yes, I will.

We'll see.

(whispers):
Won't we?

Oh, my.

If you're gonna be
in here for a while,

I'd turn the lamp off
so your mom doesn't find you.

Hmm. Good to know.

I had a very
nice conversation

with Auntie
and Uncle today.

Ah, they're the best.
Mm-hmm.

They helped me see that
the crisis I'm having

is all your fault.

Well, why do they
get the credit?

I knew it was me yesterday.

The problem is that
you make me happy.

I'm sorry,
that was never my intention.

Happy people are lazy.

They lose their ambition

and lie around eating
salami and cheese

with their husband.

I thought you loved
charcuterie Tuesday.

I do. And the wine pairings.

And the way we snuggle
during movie marathons.

That is the problem.

You have loved me
into complacency.

So you're not a doctor
because I'm a great husband?

Exactly. I will not
let you get in my way.

This is where I'll
be every day after work

until I accomplish my goals.

Okay. (chuckles)

Why are you smiling?

Right, sorry, no happiness.

Now kiss me and get out.

Can I at least
bring you some snacks?

Stop making things nice.
All right.

It's kind of
chilly in here,

but I'm not gonna
turn on the heat.

Thank you.

And I won't bring you a blanket.

Enough flutzing,
I'm trying to study.

All right.

(giggling)

(giggling)

Hello.

Hello.

I am Babatunde
Temitope Olatunji.

But you may call me Tunde.

Hi. I am Olu.

You may call me Olu.

I love your laugh.

I love your hair.

It is my best asset.

(giggles)

Sister.

What are you doing talking
to this ragamuffin?

We are here to study.

Yes, Ebun.

I will meet you by the
periodicals tomorrow.

Yes, I will be there.

So will I.

With bated breath.

I cannot wait.
EBUNOLUWA: Olu!

(gasps) Ooh.
