Dre: It may sound shocking
because of how young I look,

but I've been
at Stevens & Lido

for almost two decades.

When I started here,

there was no such thing
as Facebook.

Tom Brady had never
won a Super Bowl.

Eddie Griffin was a movie star.

Yep.

This place has been my home

for my entire
advertising career.

I was comfortable.

But sometimes,
it's hard to avoid the feeling

you're stuck in a rut.

[ Button clicking ]

What?

[ Button clicking ]

I don't think
you're pushing hard enough.

What?

[ Button clicking ]

Maybe you've already gone
as high as you can go here.

What do you mean?

You heard me.

[ Echoing ]
You can't go any higher here.

I gotta get the hell
up out of here.

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Laughter ]

♪

[ Laughter continues ]

♪

I can't do this anymore!

I quit!

Aaaaah!

[ Both scream ]

What's happening?

[ Sighing ] Oh.

I just had the craziest dream
that I quit my job.

Oh, it's okay.

It's okay, sweetheart.
It's a nightmare.

It was.

[ Sighing ]
Oh, my God.

But also...

I quit my job.

What?

So, how did I end up
an unemployed Black man

with five kids
and an angry baby mama?

Josh:
Check this out.

I've been bingeing
Black Twitter.

I-I'm not caught up,
but something called AKA --

very excited about
Kamala Harris.

Oh, "B Twit" is where
I get all my news,

from dragging
racist fashion magazines

to bringing down
-racist food magazines. -Mm-hmm.

And did you know
Dionne Warwick had jokes?

What?
Oh, yeah.

I love me
some Black Twitter.

[ Chuckles ]
The language is so colorful.

Hey, guys, new client --

SoFi.

I'm finna
hear some pitches.

Hey-o.
[ Laughs ]

-What do you got, Charlie?
-So, what about this?

"SoFi -- the only app
with a stadium in Inglewood."

Okay, SoFi is way more
than just an app.

Dre, come on.
What do you got, hmm?

You got something?

Well...
SoFi members can

save, spend, earn,
borrow, and invest

in an easy-to-use

financial app.

So, what we're
really selling here

is the ability
to do everything with your money

in one place.
Mm. Mm.

So, here's my pitch.

A man is walking
in the world,

his money
buzzing around him.

He's not in control.

But luckily for him,
-he has the SoFi app. -Mm-hmm.

He opens it,
and then his money

flies into his phone neatly,
right?

Giving him instant access
to all of it. Mm. Mm.

He know continues
to walk through the world,

confident that
he is in control now.

And then,
all of a sudden,

you hear
the reassuring voice

of Harrison Ford say,

"SoFi.
Get Your Money Right."

-Mm.
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Swap out J.B. Smoove
for Harrison Ford,

and I'm all in.

-What?
-Josh: Agreed. Yeah, Dre.

He doesn't really
say "Urban."

He's Indiana Jones, man.

He's Han Solo.
It doesn't get any bigger.

Come on, guys.
Think outside of the box.

Or we could think
inside of the box,

because we know
that works. Yeah.

We get a handsome
chocolate brother

to jump out of a Cadillac... Mm-hmm.

...and then the chorus
to "Motownphilly" drops in,

and we sell a gang
of toilet paper.

-[ Chuckling ] Oh, love it.
-But aren't you tired of doing the same old thing?

I said chocolate.

We should be expanding

what Urban is.

[ Clears throat ]

We should try
to get into business

with Radiohead
or the Foo Fighters

or any one of those

other White groups
that come on the radio

whenever I let Junior
drive my car. [ Chuckles ]

It doesn't always
have to be Boyz II Men.

[ Clears throat ]
Hello?

Hey. Uh, I'm sorry, boys --
or men -- however you identify.

Uh, you shouldn't
have heard that,

but, uh, you are a half-hour
early for your pitch.

And why is Nate
on a screen?

Somebody didn't want
to cut their vacation short.

The flight had
stupid change fees.

I told you,
our credit card comes

with travel insurance,
bro.

Guys, um, we got a bunch
more work to do here,

and -- and frankly,
I should hear the rest

of Dre's very [Chuckling]
valid critique,

but do you mind giving us
some of those

"Cooleyhighharmonies"
instead, huh? What?

I do not.

What?

I'm gonna do this
whole falsetto thing,

so you guys just try
to keep up, alright?

Dre: While Stevens
and the rest of the team

were content
with the way things were,

I had a growing feeling
that I needed more.

-Rainbow?
-Rainbow: Uh-huh?

Uh... I found a random pill
on the floor,

and I may have taken it.

-Why would you do that?
-I don't know.

I'm retired.
[ Sighs ] Earl.

You try filling
a whole day.

Well, what color was it?

Uh, red, blue, uh --
I can't remember.

Well, um,
in the next 30 minutes,

you will either have an erection
or a heart attack.

Well, either way,
I'll be there for you, baby.

Thank you, baby.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Door closes ]
Ah.

Well, I think my job
is going to kill me.

Did Stevens claim to be

the Blackest person
in the office

because he went to jail?

No.

[ Sighing ] I gotta get
out of that place.

You know what, baby?

It's time
for a good slip and fall.

-Thank you, Mama.
-Mm-hmm.

But I think I'm just gonna get
a different job.

You know, I have an interview
with Summit Wave Creative

to be their new
Senior Vice President

in their
General Market division.

Ooh.
Pops: General Market?

I thought you make
the Black people ads?

You know, like

the Louis Gossett Jr.
burger commercial

after "Queen Sugar"?

I do.

But I'm not just
-a Black adman, Pops. -Mm.

I'm an adman.
Oh.

Mm. You know,
I get pigeonholed

all the time
at the hospital. Mm.

They see me either
as a Black doctor

or a female doctor
or a gorgeous doctor,

but the truth is,
I'm all three.

Well, I'm proud of you
for trying, son,

but you're never going to
make as much money as she does,

and so, I'm gonna always
be a little disappointed.

I know I shouldn't be,
but I'm a man of my time.

And you just have
to unders--

Uh...say.

Mm.

The pill is working.

Oh.

We have movement.
Movement!

[ Chuckling ]
Come on, baby!

Come on.
-You want to go upstairs? -Come on.

Yeah!
Mm!

While Pops and Mama were about
to get their freak on,

Junior and Olivia were enjoying
a quiet night in.

I don't know
what Grandma's talking about.

This doesn't
look sinful.

[ Door closes ]
What are you guys doing here?

Oh, we thought
we'd swing by and see

how our big brother
was living without us.

Well, I told her to text first,
but, you know,

Diane prefers situations where
she can catch people off guard.

Okay. Um...

Guys, Junior and I were just
about to sit down for dinner --

Oh, we already ate
before we got here.

Yeah.
We didn't want to be rude.

Mm-hmm.
Mm.

Okay.
Cool.

Hey, guys, uh,
just give us a sec.

[ Chuckles ]
Ah. Okay.

Hey,
I'm sorry about all this.

The other day, I told them
to feel free to pop in...

whenever.

Well, they're here,

and I guess there's nothing
we can do about it now.

See?

-We're having fun already.
-Mm.

Alright.
You two can stay.

Ah, that's what
I'm talking about.

Oh, oh,
we're actually...

[chuckles] a shoes-off
kind of household.

Oh.
Okay.

I mean, it is day three
in these socks,

but your rules.

[ Clears throat ]

Alright.

With 20 years in the game,

I'd hustled from the bottom
to the top.

Now I was ready
for thetop top.

It was an open and shut case.

The verdict?

The job was mine.

And with your client roster
and my expertise,

the ad industry
won't know what hit them.

Yeah.

Dre, you've got
an incredibly impressive résumé.

Thank you.

In Urban Marketing.

But you may need
a little more experience

for our General team.

I don't think
you're the right fit.

Not enough experience?

I've been making ads
since "I'm Lovin' It"

was just a twinkle
in Justin Timberlake's eye.

Hey, Dre.

Boyz II Men are gonna teach us
-how to sing harmony. -Yeah.

We just asked
where the bathroom is.

Now you're
showing off!

Okay, we get it --
y'all can sing.

You know how hard it is to
sing harmony on a video chat?

K-Ci & JoJo
can't do that.

So, this is my life
for the rest of time.

Putting R&B singers
in ads.

Reaching for nothing bigger
than that.

It's hard for us to reach with
so many Grammys in our arms. Right.

Hey-o.
[ Laughs ]

Dre.
Mm-hmm. Hm?

You are embarrassing us
in front of Boyz II Men.

Yeah, what's, uh --
what's gotten into you, Dre?

What's gotten into me
is that...

I'm much bigger
than all of this. Ah.

This place doesn't allow me
to show what I'm capable of.

Man, I-I could win awards.

I could change the game.

Alright?
I could be the GOAT.

But I will never be
any of those things

if I stay here in Urban.

I get it, Dre.
I hear what you're saying.

You're cranky
'cause you're hungry.

Can someone get him
a granola bar, please?

I'm not hungry!

Alright?
I'm just done.

I'm done.
I can't do this anymore.

I deserve better.

[ Cup thumps lightly ]

I quit.

[ Clears throat ]

Mm.

[ Telephones ringing
in distance ]

Well...
Hm?

I call dibs
on Dre's office.

You do not.
I get that office!

That was offered to me!

[ Door closes ]

Hey.

Haven't heard from you all day.
How'd it go?

How was I going to tell Bow

that I didn't just
fail the interview,

but I also quit my job

and blew up my career?

The answer was...

I wasn't.

Great.
Oh, good.

Mm-hmm.

When you're lying about
something important

to someone you love,

you have to make
absolutely sure

you're
not going to get caught.

Alright, babe.
I'm heading to work.

I'll see you later.

Okay, yeah.

Work!

Yeah, that's exactly
where I'm going

as soon as you leave,
babe.

[ Door opens ]
Hey, you look beautiful!

Thank you!

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ]

Oh, my God.

[ Gasps ]

You lost your job.

What?

Why would you say that?

Come on, Dre.

I pretended to be employed
throughout the '70s.

I know what it looks like when
you ain't got nowhere to be.

Did they fire you,
or did you quit?

Or did they fire you,

and you gonna tell everybody
you quit?

I quit.

Yeah,
but Bow can't find out, Pops.

Okay.
Alright?

Yeah,
I know it sounds crazy, but...

I had to do this.

You know
who Josh Gibson is?

The Negro League
ballplayer

or my buddy up in Oakland
with the missing thumb?

The ballplayer.

He was the only man

to hit a home run out
of Yankee Stadium.

And still, they called him
the "Black Babe Ruth"...

Mnh-mnh-mnh.

...because he never
got a chance

to play in the majors
to show the people

that Babe Ruth was actually
the "White Josh Gibson."

Summit Wave didn't think
I had the experience

to get the big jobs, Pops,

and staying at
Stevens & Lido...

I'll never get
that experience.

So... I had to step out
on my own.

When you put it
like that,

it almost makes your lying
sound noble, son.

Oh, Pops,
it's not lying.

It's just delaying
telling Bow

the exciting next chapter
in my life,

the chapter where
I start my own ad agency,

and I get
the SoFi account...[ Breathes deeply ]

...so she knows
that I can do this.

That is classic Day One
pretending-to-have-a-job

-confidence talking, son.
-What?

You come find me
when you run out of cash

and you're hiding
in the crawlspace

with the newspaper.

I knew that wasn't
going to happen.

I was starting my own agency,

and it was going to work.

Hey, Olivia.

I'm home.[ Video game beeping]

[ Imitates static crackling ]
This is hanky to panky.

Come in, panky. Over.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Imitates static crackling ]
Your cutesy talk is nauseating.

[ Imitates static crackling ]
Over.

Oh.

[ Door opens ]
You guys are here, huh?

Oh.
Hey, you're home.

Yes, I am.
And sorry about them.

Oh.
I can tell they're bothering you.

I can ask them to leave.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
We're -- We're good. We're good.

I pretended to cry

so that Jack would
let me be Yoshi.

And I've been dominating him
ever since.

[ Chuckles ]
He's so gullible.

Alright. O-Olivia,
are you -- are you sure?

-I-I bought us some steaks.
-Oh.

Yeah, I figured
I'd do something nice

since you've been so cool

about my family being over here
all the time.

Aww, that's so sweet.[ Both chuckle ]

Guys,
Junior bought steaks.

-Ooh, I like mine medium.
-And I like mine so rare

it's inside a cow
that's still alive.

[ Chuckles ]
Still vegan.

Hey, hey, babe,
are -- are you sure?

I mean, they've kind of
overstayed their welcome.

I mean...

I guess they have been
over here a lot,

but one more night
won't kill us.

Come on. Loosen up.
Alright?

Okay, um...

I guess I'll...

start on dinner, then.

Is that a spider?

Unh-unh.
I don't blame them games, girl.

[ Laughs ]

With 20 years

of advertising experience,

I knew I just put
the final touches

on a killer pitch for SoFi.

Land that account,
and I'll be set.

Bow will be
none the wiser.

[ Sighs ]

[ Breathes deeply ]

Aaaaah!

Oh, my gosh.

I just had the craziest dream
that I quit my job.

That's 'cause you didn't
tell your wife

you quit your job.

Aaaaah!

[ Screaming ]
Rainbow: [ Screaming ]

What the --
Is everything okay?

I just had
the craziest dream.

What?
That I quit my job.

Oh.

That's okay,
sweetheart.

It's just --
It's just a nightmare.

Oh, my God.

-Oh, it was.
-It was just a nightmare.

Oh.

But also...
What?

[ Breathing heavily ]

...I quit my job.

What the [bleep]?!

Dre, you ruined "Set It Off"
for me five minutes in,

and somehow, you hid the fact
that you quit your job?

I'm sorry.
I messed up.

I -- We don't make decisions
like that

without talking
to each other. Look, I know.

I don't know why
I didn't tell you I quit.

[ Sighs ]

Or why I didn't tell you

I haven't gone into
Stevens & Lido all week

because I've started
my own agency.

Wh--

You started
your own agency?

Yeah.

Okay.

What did you call it?

The Dregency.

Oh, Dre.

I know.

I thought I had it figured out,
but I didn't.

Mm.

And I'm scared.

I have the biggest pitch
of my life tomorrow,

and if I don't
nail it...

I've ruined both
of our lives.

Listen to me, Dre.

Tomorrow, you are gonna walk
into that pitch,

and they are gonna buy
whatever you're selling.

Mm.

Because you are the best adman
in the business,

and those clients
are going to be begging --

begging to work with you... Mm-hmm.

...by the time
you walk out that door.

Well...

it's a video conference,
but... Oh.

...I like what
you're saying.

Before you push "end."Yeah.

They're back in.[ Chuckles ]

Okay, babe.
You know what?

And I'm sorry

for not letting you know
about it.

It's okay.
Alright.

Okay.

[ Clears throat ]
You know, now when, uh...

when I quit my job,

I won't have to
tell you first.

What?
[ Laughs ]

Alright,
don't play, Bow,

because the house
is in your name.

Oh, we know.
Okay. That means it's your debt.

Yeah,
'cause it's all my money!

What does it
say about me

that all my Instagram ads
are in Russian?[ Door closes ]

Well, well, well.

Looks like the gang
is all here again.

You seem tense.
What's up, buddy?

What's up?

My brother and sister

are constantly invading
my space.

But you know what?

If you want
to hang out here,

I am gonna set
some ground rules.

Rule number one --
text before you come over.

Number two --
Wi-Fi is now $5 a week, each.

You can keep your Wi-Fi.
-I got 5G, playboy. -Mm. Mm.

Number three --
whatever you deplenish,

you must also replenish,

and I'm not just talking
fridge items.

Salt. Pepper.

My peach hand soap
that costs $20 a bottle.

You paid for that?

Man, I assumed Grandma
gave that to you.

Okay.
Let's just go easy on them.

Unh-unh-unh.
There are rules for you, too.

You are a part
-of the problem. -Oh.

Number one --
do not feed them,

clothe them,
or provide them alibis.

Okay.
Okay, okay.

I know that they have
been over here a lot.

[ Scoffs ]
But the thing is,

I really like having
a full house, okay?

I grew up an only child,

and I never even
considered myself

as someone who
would want kids.

But I think by spending time
with the Johnsons,

I'm starting to see myself

as someone who would
want a family.

Really?

Yeah.

Maybe because your family feels
like my family now.

You feel a part
of our family, too.

Oh. [ Chuckles ]

For the record,
I'm not there yet.

Okay.
Yeah. Well, um...

I guess you guys
are welcome here anytime

because I want Olivia to feel
like a part of our family.

Mm.

Also, I'd love
if you called my mom "Mom".

For the record,
I'm not there yet.

Okay.
That's understandable.

Mm-hmm.
It's just...

Bow was just
the hype-man I needed.

I was Jordan
during the flu game.

I was Prince
at the Super Bowl.

I was Black Panther...

uh...

in the movie
"Black Panther."

And that's when you hear

the iconic voice
of Harrison Ford say,

"SoFi.
Get your money right."

♪

-Woman: Impressive.
-Thank you.

Man: Well done.

♪

How'd it go?

Honestly?
Yeah.

I killed it.

Ooh!
So exciting! [ Chuckles ]

-Oh, I knew you would.
-Mm-hmm.

Alright.
So what's next?

Well, they tell me

I should just wait
for a phone call.

[ Cellphone ringing, vibrating ]
Alright.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my God.
Is that them? Is that them?

No.

Why is he calling?

Thank you.

So...
[ Sighs ]

Word on the street is that
the, uh, folks up at SoFi

were incredibly impressed
with your pitch.

Mm-hmm.

It's just
kind of a shame almost

that, uh...

they liked the pitch
from our General Market better.

Well, I was outmanned
and outnumbered... Mm-hmm.

...but I nearly beat out

every other big firm
in the city for SoFi.

This is just
the beginning. Mm-hmm.

Look, Dre,
here's the thing.

I think you could
make life miserable

for Stevens & Lido,

so I have an idea.

What if I bought
your company outright,

and you joined us?

What?

I never liked the idea

of losing you
in the first place.

This way...
we get you back.

I'm out...
of the Urban game.

Oh, I know that, Dre.

You'd be upstairs,
in General Market.

What if I made a handsome offer
for Dregency?

I'd have to really think
about it, but...

Mm.

...it'll cost you.

Well, still be cheaper
than my last divorce.

So...

let's get to negotiating,
Dre.

♪

I'd spent
my entire advertising career

at Stevens & Lido,

and at least
for a little while,

it was going to stay that way.

Good luck, son.

Oh.

If you start thinking you're
better than the rest of us,

we will bring you back down
to earth again.

[ Laughs ]
This I know.

Go get it.
-Go get it, son. -Alright. Wish me luck!

Good luck.
-Alright, baby! -Oh, good luck,

Yeah!
Dre!

[ Laughs ]

What's that about?

I do not know.

Maybe Dad's gonna try
to eat that giant pizza again.

Ah. I'm glad a man his age
still has dreams.

Ah.

So, I'll carry my family
with me on this new journey.

[ Chuckles softly ]

Gotta say, I was excited.

[ Sighs ]

The end of an era.

Ah, the truth is,

I've been lucky to be able
to go on this ride

as long as I have
with you two.

You know, when I'm gone,

I'm gonna miss
every crazy Charlie story

and every one of Josh's
"Chappelle's Show" references.
