Original subtitles

Last time on One on One. My first lead role.

My first step towards Broadway.

I wouldn't miss something this important to you.

Saturday is opening night.

And closing night, too.

Big South shut down about a week ago.

I'm out of a job.

Well, I thought I was moving in with somebody that I cared about and that I

trusted. Not a liar.

Can we do this another time? I really have to get to my daughter's plane.

I'm on a plane tonight. I'd like to take care of this right now. You can't just

throw it all away now, bud.

Let's go next.

Let me call my daughter.

If you want to keep me and myself in the world, I'll stop.

Do you know that my dad didn't even show up? Why don't you come to New York with

me? Dear Daddy, I'm catching a train to New York to follow my dream.

I love you.

Right about now, you should feel swell in the presence of a goddess. Gotta pull

it out and make you feel more modest. Brace yourself, not for the main event.

That line played out, but it's ready. Your praises are part of me.

Take it in, ladies. A city that never sleeps.

Who makes you sleep when you're in the city of your dreams?

Yeah, but lack of sleep makes the natives cranky.

Cranky? No, they're not. Cranky, everybody's in a hurry. Everybody has a

to go.

Don't you feel it? The excitement, the energy.

Ooh, did a rat just run over my foot? I don't know.

It looks like the circus is coming to town.

This? Coming from a girl dressed like a motorcycle mama's son?

For all of your Gotham City needs.

Glinda, Silas, and Fairy Godmother to the stars.

You even need a wish granted.

You know who to call.

Who?

I see which one you are.

Squirrel's the newborn Dutch.

No one wears hugs in the summer. This isn't LA.

And here's a flashlight.

So you don't have to dress in the dark anymore.

Hey, where'd she go?

She disappeared.

That's the magic of New York.

I can feel it in the air.

Our names are going to be in light.

You hear that, New York?

We're here!

Thank you and good night!

always hop on your broom and meet us there.

Candy used to love to speed.

She had a heavy foot.

But then, what would you expect from a woman who has a size 15 shoe?

Dwayne, you came with me to get your guy daughter and to get your mind off of

Candy. Now stop talking about Bigfoot.

I still can't believe that my spirit lied to me talking about she and Arnaz

going on an incense run. I should have known she was lying when she didn't take

her bulletproof poncho.

Arnaz is with him?

Oh.

Okay, Flex, Flex, I don't want to die without you knowing this is all your

fault. My fault? Yes, yes. If you had gone to your daughter's play instead of

chasing down some hoochie, we wouldn't be stuck in this car with you -know

I love you.

I love you.

Where else in New York can you get pizza after midnight for a buck?

Eat up, ladies.

With the 300 bucks Spear gave me, we can eat pizza for the next...

Are you braindead? There's three of us. Ooh, times three?

900 days!

Arnette, sweetie, were you just dumb in Baltimore?

Yes, that's why I came along.

He's dumb and you're sheltered. You guys don't have the heart for this.

And you do?

Has either of you ever been to the South Bronx to pick up Trinidadian patchouli?

It's my mom.

It's my dad.

Now my dad cares.

Sorry, Daddy, now I'm busy.

Hey, guys, let's make a pact. No talking to our parents or our DeWaynes.

Agree?

Agree.

Scissors.

No answer.

Me neither.

I'm leaving a message.

Hey, Arnaz, have you talked to Candy? If you have, give me a call. All right,

bye.

And those ungrateful kids.

Oh, wait till I get my hands on spirits. She will wish that she was never water

birthed.

Wait till I get my hands on candy.

I'm gonna... Arnaz, will you keep up? We have to stay together. We're not in

Baltimore anymore.

That's right. We're on Broadway.

I'm tired. Where are we gonna sleep, Arnaz?

Well, I figure we'll stay with my boy Butter.

Remember him? He used to mousse his hair with butter.

I'd rather stay at a youth hostel.

A hostel?

Why would you want to stay someplace that's violent?

God, you're getting dumber by the second. What if I ever see him?

And I'm back in. All right.

Flex, I have to go to the bathroom.

Can't we at least stop once?

No. We're not even in Philly yet, man. We can't afford to lose time.

Candy would have let me go to the bathroom.

This is ridiculous.

Would you pull over? Pull over!

Don't you pull on this steering wheel.

This isn't a teacup ride at Rasta World.

I'm not going out there.

It's dark.

You better get out of this car!

Now I gotta do two things.

We're losing time.

We got two hours to go.

Now where did I go wrong?

My baby's a runaway. She's in New York.

She could be sold into white slavery right now.

Or even worse.

She could be dancing in a Twisted video.

That's my boy.

We'll go way back.

Hey, butter!

Do I know you?

Yeah, man, it's me, Arnaz.

Fifth period band with Kenley High.

You stuck drumsticks down my pants?

Oh, Nazi pants!

What's up?

Hey, everybody meet my homie, Nazi Pants!

Hey!

These are my friends, Brianna and Spirit.

We're all here to follow our dreams, just like you did.

Well, you came to the right place.

We got plenty of room, y 'all. Here, welcome and stay.

Thanks.

Welcome to paradise.

Where we don't judge, we just experience.

Join us.

Wow, look at this place.

It's just how I imagined it would be.

Artists bonding in the name of art.

It's like rent.

It's like Labo M.

It's like... friends, except with some black people.

Sorry,

Daddy. I'm never coming back. I found my home.

If you see, see, see, see, see!

Won't you free, free, free, free, free!

Be my girl.

Yeah. Again, come on. Free, free, free, free, free!

If you see, see, see, see, see!

Won't you free, free, free, free, free!

Be my girl.

Yeah. I love New York, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Why is it so hot in here?

Man, because the air conditioner stopped working. That's why I'm in line for the

tub. I want to get in and cool off. Well, I can still see the bottom.

Why don't these people just go home and take baths? Girl, look around. They are

home.

Your shoes are hot.

Hey, butter.

We could sell these shoes for food.

Give me those shoes.

Stop it!

Ernest! Ernest, we've got to wake up. Our bohemian paradise has turned into a

bad reality show.

This is reality, Brianna.

We're artists.

We have to suffer for our art.

That's why I slept on this fork.

Ernest, snap out of it.

I came here to live out my dreams.

You guys just got here.

Chill.

You remind me of Sarah.

She moved in with us right out of Juilliard, expecting to go right to

And I got there.

You did?

Yeah. The McDonald's on Broadway and 56th.

I'm the understudy for the fry guy.

Look, the point is, you don't happen in New York. New York happens to you.

So, what do you guys do in the meantime? Just hang out here?

Sometimes I hang here, sometimes I gig at the Canal Street Station on the

platform next to the tap dancer with one foot.

And who knows, maybe one day I'll get discovered.

Well, one day's not good enough for me.

I did not come all the way to New York to sling fries and hang out with my left

foot.

Come on, guys, we gotta get out of here.

Come on.

Uh -uh. Girl, before I lose my place in line, what is your plan?

Gigi.

Linda, is that you?

Oh, sorry.

I also repair air conditioners.

You need to go see P. Diddy.

Why P. Diddy? If you want to make it as an actress, and you want to make it as a

musician, and you want to make it in fashion, then there's only one man who

help you.

That's it.

P. Diddy.

We're off to see P. Diddy. Come on.

Just one more thing. How do we see P. Diddy, and why isn't anybody else

Different godmother.

Technically, you arrived in the West Village.

Those kids are from the East Village, and they don't my problem.

Now, come on, girl. We've got to ease on down to Broadway.

Flex, why are we stopping in the village?

Look, Leilani, I just have to air out my truck.

Your natural deodorant is stretching my limit.

You know what? I'm going to try to find a signal.

Uh, Candy used to love to read Tina.

She used to call me her little womp, womp, womp, womp, womp, womp. Candy,

Candy, I'm sick of hearing about Candy. You need to move on, brother. I can't

help it. I mean, I feel her presence all around me.

I see Candy.

I keep getting her voicemail.

That's it. We got to go to the police.

There's a cop right there towing your car.

Now I got to go save both my babies. And I paid 75 grand for that one.

I can't take it, dog.

It's hot.

Our kids are missing. And I got visions of candy dancing in my head.

We ain't going to find nobody.

Our hope is dried up like a raisin in the sun.

Raisin in the sun.

She went to Broadway.

If I know Brianna, that's what she is. Let's go. Come on. Come on.

You'll find it inside for his one night only encore performance of A Raisin in

the Sun. A Raisin in the Sun. I love A Raisin in the Sun.

But one ticket is $200. Arnaz, how much money do we have left?

None. I gave it all to Butter for letting us spend the night.

He didn't want to take it, but I insisted.

You should be the one to go, Brianna. I mean, the theater's your dream.

Yeah, and I don't want to see a play about raisins anyway.

Even if they do dance.

Shall we?

Candy, baby, you finally come back to me.

After we save the children, I'm going to make sweet, sweet love to you.

Ah, not without 12 goats and a better of cheese.

I don't think so.

Hey, listen, you can get your goat on after you take us to the Emerald Palace

right away.

Oh, you're going to see P. Diddy? You know, I saw him. You saw him in the

raising of the sun? No, sister, I saw him sweating in the sun. When he ran

marathon, ah, that bobo can go.

Hey, enough of the chatter, Mother Africa.

Take us to find my daughter.

The first act was so amazing.

If you're crying now, you're going to lose it in the second act. Because Diddy

loses all that money.

Oops.

Did I give it away?

No, it's just that this play is all about family and home.

And I ran away from mine. Why did I do that?

You don't have to be a fairy godmother to know you're going to tell me.

Yeah, I'm going to tell you why I ran away.

I ran away because my daddy doesn't care about me. All he cares about is his

career.

Sounds like a very selfish guy.

You don't know him. My daddy is the best daddy in the whole world.

And he just wanted to make a home for me.

And how do I thank him?

I run away like some ungrateful brat.

I thought you were chasing your dreams.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But after I went to Butters, I realized that I could make the same mistakes they

did.

They all came to New York to follow their dreams.

But they came too soon.

They weren't ready and neither am I.

I want to go home.

Click your heels three times.

Oh, that'll get me home.

No, but it will get that gum off your shoe.

Can't sell things on the street without a permit. Who told you that? Those cops

chasing me. Run!

Get out.

New York City. Just look. Just look at the hoodlums running.

Wait a minute. Those are our hoodlums. Freedom.

Jones. Oh, my God. Get down here.

Hey, the lady has goats and cheese.

Uh -uh.

Okay,

that'll be...

You don't accept Costco, do you?

I missed you so much. Oh, I missed you so much, too.

Wait a minute. Don't be hugging me yet.

I was worried sick about you.

Look, I'm sorry, Daddy.

I'm sorry I ran away. I was just mad at you for missing my play.

And I got tired of you always being too busy for me. Baby, I'm sorry that I

missed your play. And I'm sorry that I was so busy. But everything I've been

doing, I've been doing it for us.

And yes, I've made some mistakes.

Baby, you can't run away every time we have a problem.

We have to talk it out.

Cool?

Cool. Now you can hug me.

Oh, I see you found yours.

Mine's going to cost me a $200 fine for panhandling without a license.

Mom, I'll pay you back.

Oh, I know that's right. What were you thinking, spirit? I am not Mr.

Washington. I pay attention to you.

Mom, I had to come. They needed me.

To be the urban goddess you taught me to be. To show them the way.

Oh, that's my baby, that's right.

Oh, did you get some incense?

You ran away with my daughter, Arnaz.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't choke the life out of you.

Come on, Daddy. You know it's not his fault.

All right. Look, everybody, let's just... Come on, let's go home.

I am home.

Arnaz, what are you saying?

Look, Brianna, it's different for me in Baltimore.

I'm not lucky like you in spirit.

You guys have parents who are there for you, and all I got is me.

Oh, Arnaz, we can't leave you here.

Look, I'm 18. I can take care of myself.

Arnaz, this is a big decision.

You're going to live in this city all alone with just your guitar?

Boy, that's bad.

Look, Mr. Washington, you made a big decision when you were 18.

Everything turned out okay for you.

Here, son.

Just a little something to hold you over for a while.

Now listen, if you need anything, okay, anything at all, you give us a call.

All right?

All right, you heard the boy. He's staying.

Let's break out.

Thank you.

I could not...

Love you too, Netta.
