00:14:51,357 --> 00:14:53,025
- You know what?
352
00:14:53,092 --> 00:14:55,527
Why don't you go, and then
I'll meet you at the bar?
353
00:14:55,594 --> 00:14:58,464
Just get me, like,
a Vodka soda.
354
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:00,399
Please. Don't look back.
355
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:05,137
- Actually managed to make
my name sound like an insult.
356
00:15:05,237 --> 00:15:07,072
- You know what?
That's just Jazz, though.
357
00:15:07,139 --> 00:15:08,607
Just, like, always
with the drama.
358
00:15:08,707 --> 00:15:09,742
[laughs]
359
00:15:11,210 --> 00:15:12,912
It is so funny
running into you here.
360
00:15:12,978 --> 00:15:15,314
- Yeah, I know, yeah.
361
00:15:18,984 --> 00:15:21,654
Look, I'm, uh--I'm--I'm sorry,
362
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:23,656
uh, about the last time
that we hung out.
363
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:27,459
- Oh, yeah, don't even--
don't worry about it.
364
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:29,161
- All right.
365
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:33,465
- I see you upgraded
your busted-ass bike.
366
00:15:33,565 --> 00:15:36,302
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- [laughs]
367
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:38,404
- Um...
368
00:15:38,470 --> 00:15:41,340
uh, this is--this is my
girlfriend's car, actually.
369
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,176
- Oh.
- Yeah, she just moved in.
370
00:15:44,276 --> 00:15:47,012
- Wow, congrats.
- Oh, thanks, thanks.
371
00:15:47,112 --> 00:15:51,283
She's a super talented
playwright,
372
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:54,687
Ola Adebayo.
373
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:56,655
- That's cool.
She sounds Black.
374
00:15:56,755 --> 00:15:58,357
- Yeah, she is.
[laughs]
375
00:15:58,457 --> 00:16:01,694
It's still--it's super new,
but yeah.
376
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:03,195
- You guys are already
living together?
377
00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:05,130
- Yeah, that's a whole story.
- I bet.
378
00:16:05,197 --> 00:16:06,532
With you it always is,
isn't it?
379
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:09,668
- Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
380
00:16:09,768 --> 00:16:10,936
Oh, wait.
381
00:16:11,003 --> 00:16:12,972
How--how is--how's your dude?
382
00:16:13,038 --> 00:16:15,474
- Oh, we broke up a while ago.
Just...
383
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:17,543
- Oh.
384
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:20,479
- Anyway, I should go catch up
with her, but...
385
00:16:20,546 --> 00:16:22,214
- All right.
- Good luck with Ola.
386
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:24,116
- Thanks.
- Playwright, congrats.
387
00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:25,517
And it was nice seeing you.
388
00:16:25,617 --> 00:16:29,054
- Yeah, it was good
to see you too.
389
00:16:32,691 --> 00:16:34,226
- Bye.
- Bye.
390
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:41,233
[sighs]
391
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:46,872
- Okay, listen, listen, listen,
I know it seems silly to some,
392
00:16:46,972 --> 00:16:49,074
but I really do believe
in the power of crystals.
393
00:16:49,174 --> 00:16:52,478
- Yeah, she's talking about me.
I'm "some."
394
00:16:52,544 --> 00:16:54,213
[laughter]
- But listen.
395
00:16:54,313 --> 00:16:55,581
Rose quartz manifests
396
00:16:55,681 --> 00:16:58,017
love and relationships,
and...boom.
397
00:16:58,083 --> 00:17:00,319
- See, that's
that next-level sorcery.
398
00:17:00,386 --> 00:17:01,553
I don't know.
399
00:17:01,653 --> 00:17:03,088
That might be
how Tina trapped me.
400
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:05,257
- Um, which crystals
get rid of a man?
401
00:17:05,357 --> 00:17:06,925
'Cause I been tryna--
[laughter]
402
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:08,327
- Well, anyway,
403
00:17:08,394 --> 00:17:10,562
I'm just glad I get
to finally meet you, Ola.
404
00:17:10,662 --> 00:17:12,431
- Nice to meet you.
- Exactly.
405
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:14,933
You been MIA on us, bro,
full Enrique.
406
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:16,235
- Oh. Enrique?
407
00:17:16,335 --> 00:17:17,436
- So you know
when Enrique Iglesias
408
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:18,737
was dating Anna Kournikova?
409
00:17:18,837 --> 00:17:20,272
He disappeared
for, like, 14 years,
410
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,408
and when he came back,
he didn't have his mole.
411
00:17:22,508 --> 00:17:24,243
You lose your mole,
you lose your soul.
412
00:17:24,343 --> 00:17:25,778
- What?
- She stole his mole.
413
00:17:25,878 --> 00:17:27,379
- Okay, but you know what?
414
00:17:27,446 --> 00:17:29,014
That's just what happens
when you're really in it.
415
00:17:29,081 --> 00:17:31,083
- Exactly, and we got
a good thing going.
416
00:17:31,183 --> 00:17:34,553
- So do Enrique and Anna.
I just heard they had twins.
417
00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:36,455
- Whoa, hang on, kids?
418
00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:38,123
Wait, who's talking about kids?
419
00:17:38,223 --> 00:17:40,359
- Yeah, maybe somewhere
way down the line,
420
00:17:40,426 --> 00:17:42,227
but right now I'm really
focused on my career.
421
00:17:42,294 --> 00:17:44,463
But, uh, the clock
is ticking now.
422
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:45,864
- Uh-oh.
- You heard that?
423
00:17:45,931 --> 00:17:48,133
- Keep your mole, brother!
[laughter]
424
00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:49,568
- Oh, I gotta take this.
425
00:17:49,635 --> 00:17:51,136
- Oh.
- Excuse me.
426
00:17:51,236 --> 00:17:53,038
[phone buzzing]
427
00:17:53,105 --> 00:17:55,274
- Get 'em, baby.
- Thank you.
428
00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:57,443
- What the fuck do you have on?
429
00:17:57,543 --> 00:17:59,311
- What?
What are you talking about?
430
00:17:59,411 --> 00:18:01,480
- What do you mean, "What?"
That belt.
431
00:18:01,580 --> 00:18:04,083
- What? Ola got me this belt
in Vermont.
432
00:18:04,149 --> 00:18:06,418
- Yeah, no shit,
ol' Ben-and-Jerry's-ass belt.
433
00:18:06,485 --> 00:18:08,387
What, you making ice cream now?
[laughs]
434
00:18:08,454 --> 00:18:09,888
That's not your swag, G.
435
00:18:09,955 --> 00:18:11,723
- Wait--oh, man,
y'all don't like her?
436
00:18:11,790 --> 00:18:14,460
- I mean, yeah, she cool.
- Yeah, it's just fast.
437
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,895
We don't really know her.
- Neither does Marcus.
438
00:18:16,962 --> 00:18:20,165
- Well, I'm getting to know
her, and I really like her.
439
00:18:20,265 --> 00:18:23,235
- Well, I hope so.
Y'all fucking live together.
440
00:18:23,302 --> 00:18:24,803
- Oh, hey, baby.
441
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,608
What's wrong?
442
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:31,076
- Uh, it's official.
443
00:18:31,143 --> 00:18:32,511
The last producer just passed.
444
00:18:32,611 --> 00:18:35,114
- Oh, shit, I'm so sorry.
445
00:18:35,180 --> 00:18:37,182
- Yeah, they said
it feels too small.
446
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:40,119
Apparently, Lin-Manuel Miranda
really changed the game
447
00:18:40,185 --> 00:18:42,521
for what audiences want
from diverse playwrights.
448
00:18:42,621 --> 00:18:45,257
Fucking Hamilton.
- Oh, baby, I am so sorry.
449
00:18:45,324 --> 00:18:46,692
If it makes you feel
any better,
450
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:50,529
I thought Hamilton
was overrated.
451
00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:52,598
- It's not.
It's really good.
452
00:18:53,532 --> 00:18:54,800
- Yeah, I mean, you're right.
453
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:57,369
It is really good.
- It's real good.
454
00:18:57,469 --> 00:18:58,704
- It's so good.
455
00:18:58,804 --> 00:18:59,938
I had a good-ass
hot dog outside too.
456
00:19:00,005 --> 00:19:01,340
Soon as we left there,
457
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,708
my man was out there,
had the bacon on--
458
00:19:02,808 --> 00:19:04,343
- That was a good day.
- Man, what?
459
00:19:04,443 --> 00:19:06,044
- You know, it was really nice
to meet you guys,
460
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:08,714
um, and if it's okay, babe,
I just wanna go home.
461
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:10,482
- Yeah, yeah, uh,
we'll just wait for the food,
462
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:12,718
and then we'll take it to go.
463
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:17,122
Hey, uh, y'all, I think
we're gonna head out.
464
00:19:17,189 --> 00:19:19,057
- Okay.
- Okay, cool.
465
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:20,659
- Hey, it was great
meeting you.
466
00:19:20,726 --> 00:19:22,294
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
467
00:19:22,361 --> 00:19:23,996
- All right.
- I'm so sorry about your play.
468
00:19:24,062 --> 00:19:26,331
- All right, brother.
- All right.
469
00:19:26,398 --> 00:19:29,535
♪ ♪
470
00:19:33,906 --> 00:19:35,707
- What the hell am I doing?
471
00:19:35,807 --> 00:19:39,244
I'm an over-the-hill
aspiring playwright.
472
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:43,682
Actually, not even aspiring,
just failed.
473
00:19:43,749 --> 00:19:45,350
I failed.
474
00:19:45,417 --> 00:19:49,054
Probably can't even get a job
as a goddamn waitress.
475
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:01,867
- Hey, look at me.
476
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:07,072
Those producers
don't know shit,
477
00:20:07,172 --> 00:20:10,075
and they can't stop you
from doing what you love.
478
00:20:10,175 --> 00:20:12,678
Now, listen, I work
with writers for a living,
479
00:20:12,744 --> 00:20:16,949
and you are smarter,
more talented,
480
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:20,752
and have more to say
than 99% of them.
481
00:20:20,852 --> 00:20:23,956
So here's what you're gonna do.
482
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:30,963
You're gonna take the L
for now,
483
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:34,299
but tomorrow,
484
00:20:34,399 --> 00:20:38,437
you are not dropping off
your résumé to no diner.
485
00:20:38,537 --> 00:20:42,474
You are going to get
on your laptop
486
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:45,777
and write
your goddamn masterpiece,
487
00:20:45,877 --> 00:20:47,813
something so undeniable
488
00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:51,083
they will be begging you
to produce it.
489
00:20:51,950 --> 00:20:55,654
And in the meantime, I got you.
490
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:03,729
- Babe, can I ask you
a question?
491
00:21:03,795 --> 00:21:05,397
- What?
492
00:21:05,464 --> 00:21:08,000
- How'd I get so lucky?
493
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:09,801
- Oh, I don't know.
494
00:21:09,901 --> 00:21:12,070
- It's rhetorical.
495
00:21:13,005 --> 00:21:16,408
What I'm looking at right now,
496
00:21:16,475 --> 00:21:19,177
Black love,
497
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:25,017
supportive, strong,
beautiful Black love.
498
00:21:30,355 --> 00:21:32,357
Your mom's calling.
499
00:21:32,457 --> 00:21:33,859
- Oh.
500
00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:35,761
- Should--should I answer?
501
00:21:35,827 --> 00:21:39,831
- I mean, uh, sure.
502
00:21:43,335 --> 00:21:45,304
Hi, Mom, Dad.
503
00:21:45,370 --> 00:21:47,973
- Ah, what a nice surprise.
504
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,543
- Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Watkins.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
505
00:21:51,643 --> 00:21:53,211
- Donna and Kirby.
506
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:56,381
- So, Ola, Marcus tells usyou're from Nigeria.
507
00:21:56,481 --> 00:21:57,783
- Mm-hmm,
I was born there, yes,
508
00:21:57,849 --> 00:21:59,384
but moved here when I was six.
509
00:21:59,484 --> 00:22:01,053
- Did Marcus tell youI spent some time there
510
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:02,220
teaching at UNILAG?
511
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:04,289
- Um, no, he didn't.
512
00:22:04,356 --> 00:22:05,991
- You know, Donna and Ipractically lived
513
00:22:06,058 --> 00:22:07,359
off of suya kebabs.
514
00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:09,561
- Oh man, oh, my goodness,
that smell,
515
00:22:09,661 --> 00:22:11,630
that red pepper smell,
that's what I miss most.
516
00:22:11,697 --> 00:22:14,566
Um, when we moved here,
I used to always ask my mom,
517
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,635
"Why does America smell
like nothing?"
518
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:18,403
- [laughs]She's funny.
519
00:22:18,503 --> 00:22:20,739
You know, when Kirby got back,
520
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:23,875
we founda traditional Yoruba chair
