1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:02,103
Previously, on "Being Mary Jane"...

2
00:00:06,214 --> 00:00:08,158
You're at Southern
Regional Hospital.

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,508
You've been in a car accident.

4
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:10,750
I should be thanking you.

5
00:00:10,752 --> 00:00:13,515
There's no telling how long
they would have left me in that hallway,

6
00:00:13,517 --> 00:00:14,869
if you hadn't said something.

7
00:00:14,871 --> 00:00:16,884
It's my fault you're
here in the first place.

8
00:00:16,886 --> 00:00:19,650
You had alcohol in your system.
You need to call your lawyer.

9
00:00:19,652 --> 00:00:22,720
Tracy's in county lock-up.
Bail's set at $3,000.

10
00:00:22,722 --> 00:00:25,724
- We're gonna have some fun
till mommy comes home.
- When is she coming home?

11
00:00:25,726 --> 00:00:27,241
This should help
ease your pain.

12
00:00:27,243 --> 00:00:30,061
It isn't a lot considering
it's hush money.

13
00:00:30,063 --> 00:00:32,987
$100,000 and you sign today.

14
00:00:32,989 --> 00:00:35,466
Why'd they even bring up your
alcohol level in the first place?

15
00:00:35,481 --> 00:00:37,869
They're trying to get rid of me.

16
00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:43,573
Listen, we provided her with the best
plastic surgeon in the country,

17
00:00:43,575 --> 00:00:46,129
a cost that we didn't
put on her tab, so...

18
00:00:46,254 --> 00:00:47,996
I'd say we're pretty supportive

19
00:00:47,998 --> 00:00:50,082
and we look forward
to her return when she's ready.

20
00:00:58,138 --> 00:01:01,140
Mary Jane's doctor says she'll
be good to go in three weeks.

21
00:01:01,142 --> 00:01:03,093
Let's see how she heals first,

22
00:01:03,095 --> 00:01:04,954
before we commit to a timetable...

23
00:01:06,078 --> 00:01:08,230
or at least until
we complete our investigation.

24
00:01:08,732 --> 00:01:11,120
It's a standard practice in
situations like these

25
00:01:11,122 --> 00:01:12,952
where alcohol is proven
to be involved.

26
00:01:12,954 --> 00:01:15,427
Even when the alcohol
was provided by SNC?

27
00:01:15,429 --> 00:01:18,078
SNC ain't feelin' me?
That's cool.

28
00:01:18,775 --> 00:01:21,513
I've given them the
best journalism.

29
00:01:21,515 --> 00:01:23,224
After years,

30
00:01:23,226 --> 00:01:26,951
SNC should be kissing my ass
begging me to come back!

31
00:01:26,953 --> 00:01:28,998
We're talking about your
client possibly having

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,170
a drinking problem.
- Easy there, Sy.

33
00:01:31,472 --> 00:01:33,638
We're walking into
slanderous territory now.

34
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,314
Not when it's true.

35
00:01:35,316 --> 00:01:37,475
I need to talk to Roy

36
00:01:37,515 --> 00:01:39,534
and make sure he doesn't
cave to that... oh!

37
00:01:39,536 --> 00:01:41,347
You're the ones that sent
her the champagne.

38
00:01:41,349 --> 00:01:44,183
Congratulations, Mary Jane.
Remember?

39
00:01:44,485 --> 00:01:46,434
But it's not just champagne.

40
00:01:46,436 --> 00:01:49,704
Mary Jane Paul keeps
a bottle of tequila in her desk

41
00:01:49,706 --> 00:01:53,367
and she likes to knock back a few drinks
before she leaves the office.

42
00:01:53,953 --> 00:01:55,569
SNC cameras recorded everything.

43
00:01:55,570 --> 00:01:57,450
Um... oh, uh, rice, rice!

44
00:01:57,452 --> 00:01:58,820
We need... we need rice!
Yeah, we need rice.

45
00:01:58,822 --> 00:02:01,616
Mary Jane helped build
this network's reputation, okay?

46
00:02:01,618 --> 00:02:04,002
She works harder
than anybody here.

47
00:02:04,255 --> 00:02:07,301
Now you're really gonna
put your star anchor

48
00:02:07,303 --> 00:02:08,880
through an internal investigation?

49
00:02:08,882 --> 00:02:11,711
I mean, she is the new
face of this network.

50
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:13,750
Right, and being

51
00:02:13,914 --> 00:02:17,415
the face of the network
comes with responsibilities.

52
00:02:17,417 --> 00:02:19,033
Page 28 of her contract

53
00:02:19,035 --> 00:02:21,135
specifies that any instances

54
00:02:21,137 --> 00:02:24,161
of moral turpitude which can
harm the network's reputation

55
00:02:24,163 --> 00:02:26,014
are grounds for termination.

56
00:02:26,022 --> 00:02:28,053
But we're sure you
reminded her of that.

57
00:02:28,057 --> 00:02:30,885
Okay, let's all just take
a step back here for a second.

58
00:02:30,887 --> 00:02:32,871
There's no need to throw
the "t" word around.

59
00:02:32,873 --> 00:02:34,495
It's not necessary, okay?

60
00:02:37,954 --> 00:02:40,829
Listen... I know you're
fighting for your client

61
00:02:40,831 --> 00:02:44,695
and that's admirable,
but if you wanna fight hard for someone,

62
00:02:44,804 --> 00:02:47,980
you don't the middle-aged
Black woman with an attitude

63
00:02:47,982 --> 00:02:50,232
and a drinking problem, okay?

64
00:02:51,084 --> 00:02:53,076
They're not worth the risk.

65
00:02:53,837 --> 00:02:57,756
What is she worth to you, Sy?

66
00:03:01,095 --> 00:03:02,134
We wait.

67
00:03:02,330 --> 00:03:06,051
The lady on YouTube said we have to
soak the phone in the ricefor 24 hours.

68
00:03:06,850 --> 00:03:08,796
So, we just wait.

69
00:03:22,012 --> 00:03:23,500
Good morning, Miss Paul.

70
00:03:23,502 --> 00:03:26,488
I know it's improper to stop
by unannounced and for that

71
00:03:26,490 --> 00:03:29,771
I'm really sorry, but, uh,
I had to speak to you.

72
00:03:29,773 --> 00:03:32,683
- How did you get my address, um...
- Cece.

73
00:03:32,685 --> 00:03:35,837
Cece. Cece, oh... Wow,

74
00:03:35,839 --> 00:03:37,946
I must have been really
dizzy after the accident.

75
00:03:37,948 --> 00:03:39,610
I don't usually use checks

76
00:03:39,612 --> 00:03:43,203
from my personal account.
- Well, it happens.

77
00:03:43,205 --> 00:03:44,595
Uhhuh.

78
00:03:44,597 --> 00:03:47,048
- You're lookin' well, though.
- Thank you.

79
00:03:47,090 --> 00:03:49,064
It's what a girl with holes
in her face loves to hear.

80
00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:50,925
So, what brings you by?

81
00:03:51,324 --> 00:03:55,454
Well, a few days ago, I was at SNC
discussing my settlement...

82
00:03:55,456 --> 00:03:57,492
Why were you even talking
to them?

83
00:03:58,110 --> 00:04:02,133
I have, uh, your lab reports
after the accident.

84
00:04:03,959 --> 00:04:05,740
How did you get those?

85
00:04:05,742 --> 00:04:06,913
Well,

86
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:10,224
I know a nurse badly
in need of a Celine purse,

87
00:04:10,245 --> 00:04:13,081
so I just made a contribution
to her endeavor.

88
00:04:13,083 --> 00:04:16,475
Listen, um...

89
00:04:16,477 --> 00:04:18,787
Ooh.

90
00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:21,523
It's, um, kinda warm out here. Can...

91
00:04:22,351 --> 00:04:24,874
can I come inside and we talk?

92
00:04:25,962 --> 00:04:28,847
Yeah, come in. You can
go out to the patio.

93
00:04:28,849 --> 00:04:32,675
- It's cooler out there.
- Oh. All right then.

94
00:04:33,805 --> 00:04:36,072
Oooh.

95
00:04:41,643 --> 00:04:44,463
- Vilma? Vilma?
- Si. Si.
- Where's... where's Louie?

96
00:04:44,465 --> 00:04:45,847
I put in the hall closet.

97
00:04:45,849 --> 00:04:47,564
Why would you put
it in the closet?

98
00:04:47,566 --> 00:04:48,941
Because you said clean.
I clean.

99
00:04:48,943 --> 00:04:51,212
Yeah, clean, but
don't move Louie.

100
00:05:04,110 --> 00:05:07,454
Hey, I get it.

101
00:05:07,456 --> 00:05:11,383
Single lady, livin' all
alone, can't take a chance.

102
00:05:11,823 --> 00:05:16,151
Well, I want you to know I'm a
classy lady of the highest order.

103
00:05:16,517 --> 00:05:18,150
No need for the
Louisville Slugger.

104
00:05:18,152 --> 00:05:19,881
I still may need this
Louisville Slugger.

105
00:05:19,883 --> 00:05:23,711
- What do you want?
- To help you out of
your dilemma, Miss Paul.

106
00:05:23,828 --> 00:05:27,400
- May I...
- No. No. Only guests sit.

107
00:05:28,242 --> 00:05:29,257
What dilemma?

108
00:05:29,259 --> 00:05:31,196
Well, we need to help each other

109
00:05:31,962 --> 00:05:34,395
'cause with this
lab report and this check,

110
00:05:34,654 --> 00:05:37,201
you're startin' to look like you're
responsible for that accident.

111
00:05:37,202 --> 00:05:38,374
I wasn't drunk.

112
00:05:38,376 --> 00:05:40,320
You were the one who
jumped the light and made the left.

113
00:05:40,322 --> 00:05:42,423
That's not what
your check says.

114
00:05:42,823 --> 00:05:46,484
Now you wrote in the
memo line: I'm sorry.

115
00:05:47,210 --> 00:05:49,786
I think any court would conclude

116
00:05:49,788 --> 00:05:51,644
that you're sorry for runnin' into me...

117
00:05:52,412 --> 00:05:54,264
and that's an admission of guilt.

118
00:05:56,219 --> 00:05:58,349
How much to get you out of my house

119
00:05:58,351 --> 00:06:00,326
and back to the bowling alley, hm?

120
00:06:01,656 --> 00:06:04,259
- Just $25,000.
- Twenty-five thousand?

121
00:06:04,261 --> 00:06:06,427
Are you... for a piece of paper?

122
00:06:06,429 --> 00:06:09,557
Oh, baby, you need to use your
Obamacare and get your head checked.

123
00:06:11,017 --> 00:06:13,256
You signed the
non-disclosure, right?

124
00:06:13,904 --> 00:06:18,857
You can't sue, okay? So,
thank you for stopping by

125
00:06:18,859 --> 00:06:22,143
and take your happy
ass outta my house.

126
00:06:22,145 --> 00:06:24,579
You're absolutely correct.

127
00:06:24,581 --> 00:06:26,865
By signing the non-disclosure,

128
00:06:26,867 --> 00:06:28,917
it forestalled me from pursuing

129
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:31,786
any legal action against SNC.

130
00:06:31,788 --> 00:06:35,823
But now you, Miss Paul,
that's a different story.

131
00:06:35,825 --> 00:06:37,491
See, I read the entire document

132
00:06:37,493 --> 00:06:41,796
and, um, there was
no mention of you.

133
00:06:41,798 --> 00:06:45,530
The non-disclosure... it doesn't
protect you, it protects them.

134
00:06:46,102 --> 00:06:48,095
Now let's just say some... some

135
00:06:48,097 --> 00:06:49,977
evidence were to pop up...

136
00:06:52,809 --> 00:06:56,477
Maybe the results of
your lab reports.

137
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:00,897
That leaves you vulnerable
to a civil lawsuit.

138
00:07:01,851 --> 00:07:03,299
Let me show you this document.

139
00:07:03,987 --> 00:07:06,503
- Check out page four...
- Yeah, I can read. Thank you.

140
00:07:08,357 --> 00:07:13,651
♪

141
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,043
White folks are something
else, ain't they?

142
00:07:25,508 --> 00:07:27,937
But there's always a blessing

143
00:07:28,109 --> 00:07:30,006
in any situation...

144
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,514
...and you are mine.

145
00:07:33,516 --> 00:07:35,130
Oh, I'm your blessing.

146
00:07:35,867 --> 00:07:38,418
Okay, I am so curious.
Please continue.

147
00:07:41,005 --> 00:07:43,255
I was at a trying time in
my life, you know?

148
00:07:43,257 --> 00:07:44,612
I was in a place

149
00:07:45,213 --> 00:07:46,683
of despair

150
00:07:47,447 --> 00:07:49,023
and bewilderment.

151
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,263
Just when I thought

152
00:07:52,625 --> 00:07:55,047
God had forsaken me,

153
00:07:56,305 --> 00:07:58,371
you crashed into my car.

154
00:07:58,508 --> 00:08:00,723
I didn't think anything
of it at first.

155
00:08:00,725 --> 00:08:03,962
In fact, it wasn't until SNC

156
00:08:03,964 --> 00:08:06,485
made me an offer to make me go away

157
00:08:06,487 --> 00:08:08,545
that I even realized

158
00:08:10,053 --> 00:08:12,627
this accident is my blessing.

159
00:08:13,890 --> 00:08:17,213
You, Miss Mary Jane Paul,
you're my blessing.

160
00:08:18,874 --> 00:08:21,233
And I am very grateful.

161
00:08:22,866 --> 00:08:24,656
Okay, um,

162
00:08:25,679 --> 00:08:26,990
it's obvious

163
00:08:26,992 --> 00:08:28,403
that you have completely

164
00:08:28,405 --> 00:08:30,862
lost your natural-born mind,

165
00:08:31,159 --> 00:08:33,564
so, if you just leave now,

166
00:08:33,764 --> 00:08:37,412
I will give you a head start
before I call the police.

167
00:08:37,414 --> 00:08:39,234
You call the cops...

168
00:08:40,166 --> 00:08:42,993
and there will be consequences.

169
00:08:45,055 --> 00:08:47,868
- What consequences?
- They're gonna ask me

170
00:08:47,870 --> 00:08:50,675
questions as to why I'm still
interested in you

171
00:08:50,677 --> 00:08:52,259
after the accident,

172
00:08:52,290 --> 00:08:54,311
and being a woman of moral fiber,

173
00:08:54,313 --> 00:08:57,682
I will dispose the truth
of our relationship...

174
00:08:57,684 --> 00:09:01,185
that you, Miss Mary Jane Paul,

175
00:09:01,187 --> 00:09:04,585
news anchor, had alcohol in
your system

176
00:09:04,587 --> 00:09:06,612
when you crashed into my car,

177
00:09:07,433 --> 00:09:11,478
and when this information
hits the media world,

178
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,894
and it will, woo,

179
00:09:12,896 --> 00:09:15,750
it's gonna be a pretty
hard mess to clean up.

180
00:09:15,752 --> 00:09:17,285
And judging by how hard you

181
00:09:17,287 --> 00:09:18,419
got that maid of yours in

182
00:09:18,421 --> 00:09:22,656
there working, I can see
you don't like to clean.

183
00:09:22,658 --> 00:09:26,461
Now I have information that

184
00:09:26,463 --> 00:09:29,047
can help SNC or it can help you.

185
00:09:29,049 --> 00:09:37,638
I'd rather keep our dollar
in the Black community.

186
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:43,010
I know you feel me.
I know you do.

205
00:10:35,216 --> 00:10:38,299
I think I have a way to
perk Ted up and get that
vacant look out of his eye.

206
00:10:38,301 --> 00:10:40,340
I do, too. We're replacing him.

207
00:10:40,342 --> 00:10:43,087
What? I was half joking.
He's not that bad.

208
00:10:43,089 --> 00:10:44,870
The brass doesn't
want not that bad.

209
00:10:44,872 --> 00:10:46,770
They want the next
best thing to Mary Jane,

210
00:10:46,771 --> 00:10:48,854
an African-American
female... to be exact.

211
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:51,393
The overnight ratings came in
and we dipped sharply.

212
00:10:51,395 --> 00:10:53,947
- The network wants to
stay in front of this.
- Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.

213
00:10:53,949 --> 00:10:56,748
You don't think we're overreacting
just a little to the numbers?

214
00:10:56,750 --> 00:10:58,343
I mean, you know how fickle
the audience can be.

215
00:10:58,345 --> 00:11:00,147
Kara, I have my orders.

216
00:11:00,148 --> 00:11:02,257
Ted is out. Find a replacement.

217
00:11:05,461 --> 00:11:06,576
Hello? Hey, Roy?

218
00:11:06,578 --> 00:11:07,945
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm here, Mary Jane.

219
00:11:07,947 --> 00:11:09,947
I have to put you on speaker.
I'm having some phone issues.

220
00:11:09,949 --> 00:11:12,198
Yeah, no problem. Listen,
I've got Arthur here with me.

221
00:11:12,347 --> 00:11:13,605
Uh, how are you holding up?

222
00:11:13,607 --> 00:11:15,716
Well, that depends
on what SNC says.

223
00:11:15,935 --> 00:11:18,802
Mary Jane, they wanna hold out
a little longer than we'd like.

224
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:20,717
Uh, they feel terrible, but...

225
00:11:20,844 --> 00:11:22,060
How long?

226
00:11:22,062 --> 00:11:23,952
- They won't commit to a time.
- They won't commit?

227
00:11:23,954 --> 00:11:25,430
Why won't they commit?

228
00:11:25,432 --> 00:11:27,002
Look, what does that even mean?

229
00:11:27,096 --> 00:11:28,733
The doctor said I'll be
ready in three weeks.

230
00:11:28,735 --> 00:11:30,862
- I'm healing. I'm gonna be ready.
- Okay, Mary Jane, Arthur.

231
00:11:30,864 --> 00:11:32,336
This may actually
be a good thing.

232
00:11:32,338 --> 00:11:35,089
How, Arthur? Without a firm date,

233
00:11:35,359 --> 00:11:36,626
we lose momentum.

234
00:11:36,628 --> 00:11:38,829
Or you're creating
more of a buzz.

235
00:11:39,079 --> 00:11:40,905
Ever since your
"Ugly Black Woman" commentary

236
00:11:40,907 --> 00:11:42,378
created a feeding frenzy,

237
00:11:42,380 --> 00:11:44,487
right, your TVQ ratings
shot up ten points

238
00:11:44,489 --> 00:11:46,573
and that's before
the "Prime Time" job was offered.

239
00:11:46,824 --> 00:11:49,800
Look, the fans want
you back on air ASAP, but...

240
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:51,800
but the longer you
make them wait,

241
00:11:51,855 --> 00:11:53,657
the greater their appetite
is gonna be for you.

242
00:11:53,659 --> 00:11:57,013
Well, is it still gonna say
"Prime Time with Mary Jane Paul"
behind my fill-in?

243
00:11:57,256 --> 00:12:00,136
Uh, no,
it'll just say "Prime Time,"
but don't worry, okay?

244
00:12:01,468 --> 00:12:03,952
Oh, I guess I could use this time to...

245
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:07,569
relax and catch up
on some reading.

246
00:12:08,272 --> 00:12:11,108
That is great, Mary Jane.
Listen, we will call as soon
as we hear anything.

247
00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:14,584
Oh, Arthur, wait, um,
I have a question about my accident.

248
00:12:14,586 --> 00:12:15,897
Sure, what's up?

249
00:12:15,899 --> 00:12:17,781
Is there any way,
you know, like...

250
00:12:18,227 --> 00:12:20,266
down the line,
in the future, that I...

251
00:12:20,344 --> 00:12:21,719
might be...

252
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,038
financially responsible
for the accident?

253
00:12:25,139 --> 00:12:27,574
Mary Jane, that's all
been taken care of, okay?

254
00:12:27,576 --> 00:12:29,256
The lady signed the
non-disclosure,

255
00:12:29,258 --> 00:12:32,196
she took her check.
It's over, okay? Relax.

256
00:12:32,362 --> 00:12:36,254
Well, uh, what if my
blood results got leaked?

257
00:12:37,170 --> 00:12:39,271
You have a signed
non-disclosure,

258
00:12:39,273 --> 00:12:42,069
okay, and even if you didn't,
without admission of guilt,
you're fine.

259
00:12:42,077 --> 00:12:44,994
So, do me a favor... stop digging
in the bottom of the "what if" barrel

260
00:12:45,069 --> 00:12:46,788
and get some rest, okay?
I've gotta go.

261
00:12:47,327 --> 00:12:50,436
Thanks, Arthur.
Mary Jane?

262
00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:52,190
Mary Jane?

263
00:12:52,192 --> 00:12:54,685
She hung up.

264
00:12:54,887 --> 00:12:58,074
It's been 13 years since the historic
Memorandum of Understanding

265
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,517
was signed between
the multi-ethnic media coalition

266
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:02,693
and the top television
broadcast networks.

267
00:13:02,695 --> 00:13:05,090
All right, okay. What organization
are you with again?

268
00:13:05,364 --> 00:13:07,248
National Council of La Raza.

269
00:13:07,644 --> 00:13:09,698
Oh, yeah, you're the organization

270
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:11,971
that grades the networks
with color charts like
we're in kindergarten.

271
00:13:12,903 --> 00:13:14,994
We just wanna make sure
everyone, no matter race,

272
00:13:14,996 --> 00:13:17,908
gender, or sexual orientation

273
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:19,610
has a seat at the table.

274
00:13:19,612 --> 00:13:22,993
And by everyone, you
mean Latin people.

275
00:13:24,617 --> 00:13:26,928
The Latino population has
grown considerably

276
00:13:27,296 --> 00:13:28,756
and our organization
wants to make sure

277
00:13:28,758 --> 00:13:31,296
that someone within the network
represents our interests.

278
00:13:31,358 --> 00:13:34,847
Well, we have representation here...
Kara Lynch, and she's Latino.

279
00:13:37,969 --> 00:13:39,501
Something amuses you, Mr.
Casales?

280
00:13:39,503 --> 00:13:42,338
That you tout your one
and only Latin as progress.

281
00:13:42,526 --> 00:13:45,057
The truth is, SNC lags behind
its competitors

282
00:13:45,127 --> 00:13:47,156
in terms of both
Latino on-air staff

283
00:13:47,158 --> 00:13:49,190
and adequate
coverage of Latino issues.

284
00:13:49,192 --> 00:13:53,160
Now we're two weeks away
from submitting our diversity
report for the quarter

285
00:13:53,293 --> 00:13:56,322
and we'd hate to see SNC get an "F."

286
00:13:59,093 --> 00:14:00,365
Great.

287
00:14:03,555 --> 00:14:05,921
Let's go. Pass! Pass!
Get that ball passed quicker!

288
00:14:05,921 --> 00:14:08,725
Move it along, move it along.
I need a snap pass, let's go.

289
00:14:09,038 --> 00:14:11,473
Come on, get the ball
out there quick, let's go.

290
00:14:11,475 --> 00:14:13,053
Get down here. Get down.

291
00:14:13,055 --> 00:14:15,185
All right, D'Asia, today,
you gotta remember, baby.
You gotta remember.

292
00:14:15,187 --> 00:14:18,690
Right hand, left foot. There you go.
Oh, beautiful. Beautiful. Perfect.

293
00:14:18,692 --> 00:14:21,172
Just like your daddy, unh!
Good.

294
00:14:21,250 --> 00:14:23,099
You wish.

295
00:14:23,101 --> 00:14:25,081
Hey, doll. Hey, you
made it on time.

296
00:14:25,944 --> 00:14:28,124
- Mommy!
- Hi, baby!

297
00:14:28,126 --> 00:14:30,444
I told you, Daddy, she wasn't
gonna miss my practice.

298
00:14:30,446 --> 00:14:31,833
You did.

299
00:14:31,835 --> 00:14:33,835
You know, baby, I
used to play basketball.

300
00:14:33,837 --> 00:14:36,254
A two-time state champ
in high school.

301
00:14:38,107 --> 00:14:39,524
It's all about the follow through.

302
00:14:39,662 --> 00:14:42,464
Your mama was money
from 20 feet out.

303
00:14:43,396 --> 00:14:45,480
What's that?

304
00:14:49,518 --> 00:14:53,023
- Oh...
- Hey, hey, we got
a little straggler here..

305
00:14:53,025 --> 00:14:55,239
Young lady...
we're still practicing.

306
00:14:56,192 --> 00:14:58,403
Come on, D'Asia, girl,
remember to follow through
with your jump shot.

307
00:14:58,405 --> 00:15:00,231
D'Asia, good. Opposite hand,
opposite foot.

308
00:15:00,829 --> 00:15:03,046
She's getting so big so fast.

309
00:15:03,048 --> 00:15:04,360
Yeah and with an appetite to match.

310
00:15:08,288 --> 00:15:10,288
I was worried I wasn't
gonna make it on time.

311
00:15:10,290 --> 00:15:12,290
I had to take three
buses to get here.

312
00:15:12,292 --> 00:15:14,408
Oh, what time's your curfew?

313
00:15:14,410 --> 00:15:16,577
I have to be in by
7:00, not a second late.

314
00:15:16,579 --> 00:15:18,796
Oh, well, that doesn't
give you a lot of time.

315
00:15:18,798 --> 00:15:21,966
Not like it's right
up the highway.

316
00:15:21,968 --> 00:15:24,835
I also have to take a
drug counselling class.

317
00:15:24,837 --> 00:15:27,297
But without a car, I'm
not so mobile now.

318
00:15:30,042 --> 00:15:32,977
I don't know if I'm even
gonna make her first game.

319
00:15:32,979 --> 00:15:35,450
Oh, you can't miss that.

320
00:15:36,432 --> 00:15:40,068
Um, maybe, uh, I can pick you up
so you can be here on time.

321
00:15:42,086 --> 00:15:43,848
Yeah.

322
00:15:46,006 --> 00:15:48,690
Oh, D'Asia, all right, remember...
remember, follow through.

323
00:15:48,693 --> 00:15:50,487
Yeah, exactly like your
father said.

324
00:15:59,694 --> 00:16:01,564
That's good, baby, good.

325
00:16:02,558 --> 00:16:04,208
What about my money
market account?

326
00:16:04,210 --> 00:16:06,858
It would take
at least two days to get
the funds released,

327
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:09,064
plus, you would have to pay
the penalty for early withdrawal.

328
00:16:09,066 --> 00:16:10,978
Of course, there's a penalty
for early withdrawal.

329
00:16:10,980 --> 00:16:12,517
Okay, um...

330
00:16:12,902 --> 00:16:15,191
Let me tell you what...
so, why don't you just
give me five grand.

331
00:16:15,365 --> 00:16:17,498
Please tell me it's not shoes.

332
00:16:17,985 --> 00:16:19,941
Not shoes.

333
00:16:19,943 --> 00:16:23,169
Jerry, I've gotta take this call,
but how soon can you message me
the money tomorrow?

334
00:16:23,375 --> 00:16:26,197
- It'll be there before sundown.
- Thanks.

335
00:16:26,199 --> 00:16:29,233
Kara, what's shakin'?

336
00:16:29,969 --> 00:16:32,592
Ted is out and they
want me to find a replacement.

337
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,372
It doesn't make any sense.

338
00:16:35,144 --> 00:16:37,311
You just need a warm body
in the chair until I get back.

339
00:16:37,313 --> 00:16:38,869
What's the emergency?

340
00:16:39,230 --> 00:16:41,486
Apparently, we dipped
a bit in the overnights

341
00:16:41,488 --> 00:16:43,728
and now it's DEFCON 5
all of a sudden.

342
00:16:45,268 --> 00:16:46,483
Who do they want?

343
00:16:46,485 --> 00:16:48,078
The next best thing to you...

344
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,757
or at least someone
that looks like you.

345
00:16:51,426 --> 00:16:53,168
Oh, God, they're trying
to get rid of me, aren't they?

346
00:16:53,170 --> 00:16:55,029
Stop, okay, don't... don't panic.

347
00:16:55,031 --> 00:16:57,531
- Oh, my God.
- Sit tight. Sit tight.

348
00:16:57,563 --> 00:16:58,595
Oh, my God.

349
00:16:58,597 --> 00:17:01,042
Have you eaten, 'cause
I can stop by the soul food place

350
00:17:01,044 --> 00:17:02,790
and pick you up a little something.

351
00:17:03,269 --> 00:17:04,568
Fried chicken,

352
00:17:04,570 --> 00:17:07,335
yeah, and pancakes from that
spot across the street.

353
00:17:07,751 --> 00:17:09,954
Oh, and red beans and rice
and sausage from, um,

354
00:17:09,956 --> 00:17:12,265
Fred's on Peachtree, okay?

355
00:17:13,005 --> 00:17:15,721
And pizza, yeah, pizza.

356
00:17:16,356 --> 00:17:18,582
And a 7-Up
cake from Jimmy's.

357
00:17:18,584 --> 00:17:21,785
What?
They'll know
what I'm talking about.

358
00:17:21,787 --> 00:17:25,105
So, I'm just supposed to act like

359
00:17:25,107 --> 00:17:26,790
I don't know what's going on.

360
00:17:26,792 --> 00:17:29,633
I'm just supposed to stay home
and relax

361
00:17:29,635 --> 00:17:31,809
while they try to replace me with

362
00:17:31,811 --> 00:17:33,026
random Black women.

363
00:17:33,708 --> 00:17:36,057
It's like...
like what I do

364
00:17:36,106 --> 00:17:38,249
doesn't require a skill,
like we're just...

365
00:17:38,813 --> 00:17:39,881
interchangeable.

366
00:17:39,883 --> 00:17:42,562
We're all just freakin'
interchangeable,

367
00:17:42,585 --> 00:17:43,708
you know,
like... like

368
00:17:43,710 --> 00:17:47,444
"insert Negro girl here,
add water and stir."

369
00:17:47,499 --> 00:17:48,812
Interchangeable!

370
00:17:48,814 --> 00:17:52,524
And, Greg, that balding
sow, never did like me.

371
00:17:52,526 --> 00:17:54,672
He never did. And I swear
to God,

372
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:56,382
if I wasn't afraid of prison,

373
00:17:56,384 --> 00:17:58,873
I would go
down there and I would just

374
00:17:58,875 --> 00:18:01,227
bash his frickin' face in!
- Okay.

375
00:18:02,261 --> 00:18:03,322
Okay.

376
00:18:03,324 --> 00:18:06,079
I don't know if it's the pain pills

377
00:18:06,081 --> 00:18:08,665
or... the food or...

378
00:18:08,667 --> 00:18:10,901
the pain pills I took
with the food, um,

379
00:18:11,026 --> 00:18:12,169
I just...

380
00:18:12,413 --> 00:18:14,694
I just feel like I'm losing
right now,

381
00:18:15,199 --> 00:18:16,237
you know?

382
00:18:16,441 --> 00:18:18,378
Why is this happening to me, Kara?

383
00:18:18,380 --> 00:18:21,395
Why? Why?
I did everything right.

384
00:18:21,774 --> 00:18:23,524
I don't know about that.

385
00:18:23,526 --> 00:18:26,694
I have started to do
everything right, I mean.

386
00:18:26,696 --> 00:18:29,980
God, I've cut people
out of my life, right?

387
00:18:29,982 --> 00:18:33,617
- Yes.
- I focused on my career.

388
00:18:33,619 --> 00:18:38,255
God, I was happy. I was
really happy, you know?

389
00:18:38,257 --> 00:18:42,159
After the whole David
thing, I... I just...

390
00:18:42,161 --> 00:18:44,635
It felt so good to be wanted

391
00:18:44,637 --> 00:18:46,965
and appreciated

392
00:18:47,176 --> 00:18:48,283
by SNC.

393
00:18:48,285 --> 00:18:50,542
You know, I'm not gonna lie.
Not gonna front.

394
00:18:50,544 --> 00:18:52,970
I needed that
validation, you know?

395
00:18:52,972 --> 00:18:54,800
I really did and then, bam,

396
00:18:54,802 --> 00:18:57,040
the whole Lisa/David

397
00:18:57,688 --> 00:18:59,293
bullshit.

398
00:19:00,846 --> 00:19:02,814
It's like everything I have
fought for

399
00:19:02,816 --> 00:19:05,745
and sacrificed for is just

400
00:19:06,261 --> 00:19:08,986
evaporating right in
front of my eyes.

401
00:19:08,988 --> 00:19:10,167
- No.
- And... and why?

402
00:19:10,169 --> 00:19:13,324
Because I have a stupid
freakin' scar on my face.

403
00:19:13,326 --> 00:19:15,245
It's not... it's not fair,

404
00:19:15,245 --> 00:19:16,792
Kara. It's not fair.

405
00:19:16,794 --> 00:19:20,051
I...I earned the right to
be anchor of "Prime Time."

406
00:19:20,053 --> 00:19:21,582
I freakin' earned that.

407
00:19:21,584 --> 00:19:24,199
I lost my... my best friend.
I lost my man.

408
00:19:24,201 --> 00:19:28,005
- I cannot lose my job, Kara.
- Stop. Stop.

409
00:19:28,007 --> 00:19:30,817
That's not gonna happen, okay?
Please.

410
00:19:31,710 --> 00:19:34,387
I do admit that ushering
in direct competition

411
00:19:34,389 --> 00:19:36,468
at your network, not a good look.

412
00:19:36,910 --> 00:19:39,257
- You think?
- Now, this Marc Lamont,

413
00:19:39,259 --> 00:19:40,684
he's getting a lot of attention.

414
00:19:40,826 --> 00:19:43,294
How about I pitch him
filling in for you?

415
00:19:43,793 --> 00:19:44,925
No.

416
00:19:45,513 --> 00:19:46,622
Why not?

417
00:19:47,013 --> 00:19:49,153
- I'm not gonna do it.
- What?
- I'm not gonna do it.

418
00:19:49,155 --> 00:19:52,857
We are gonna give them
what they want.

419
00:19:53,756 --> 00:19:55,065
Hire a Black woman.

420
00:19:55,380 --> 00:19:56,675
Not a cute Black woman.

421
00:19:56,677 --> 00:19:59,837
We're going to find an actual

422
00:20:00,243 --> 00:20:04,030
ugly Black woman, like a
really ugly Black woman.

423
00:20:05,244 --> 00:20:08,278
- Are you high?
- No, I'm serious.

424
00:20:09,632 --> 00:20:12,544
Okay, MJ, what exactly
are you talking about here?

425
00:20:12,546 --> 00:20:14,251
Oh, God, don't
make me spell it out.

426
00:20:14,253 --> 00:20:16,493
No, you're gonna have to
spell this out because,

427
00:20:16,495 --> 00:20:18,755
first of all, it starts out with racist

428
00:20:18,757 --> 00:20:20,757
and it ends with
highly offensive.

429
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:22,509
It's how they see us anyway...

430
00:20:22,511 --> 00:20:25,095
ugly, worthless, replaceable.

431
00:20:25,097 --> 00:20:27,786
I say give the people
what they want.

432
00:20:27,841 --> 00:20:29,482
- MJ, just...
- No, no, trust me.

433
00:20:29,484 --> 00:20:32,319
This is a great idea, right?
It's perfect.

434
00:20:32,321 --> 00:20:35,239
Since the job is already
temporary, you sell it as

435
00:20:35,241 --> 00:20:38,242
an amazing opportunity for
the facially-challenged

436
00:20:38,244 --> 00:20:40,015
to get a shot at broadcast,

437
00:20:40,603 --> 00:20:41,712
right?

438
00:20:41,714 --> 00:20:43,360
That gesture is then seen

439
00:20:43,362 --> 00:20:46,508
as SNC not being about image,
but about substance.

440
00:20:46,510 --> 00:20:49,103
Boom, the network
gets amazing press,

441
00:20:49,205 --> 00:20:51,695
huge publicity for breaking
the "pretty" barrier,

442
00:20:51,947 --> 00:20:52,986
right?

443
00:20:53,017 --> 00:20:57,270
That generates more awareness
for the show just in time

444
00:20:58,589 --> 00:21:00,923
for a fresh-faced
Mary Jane to reappear

445
00:21:00,925 --> 00:21:02,596
and claim her rightful place

446
00:21:02,651 --> 00:21:05,533
as anchor of "Prime Time,"

447
00:21:05,947 --> 00:21:07,688
right, huh, huh?

448
00:21:07,690 --> 00:21:10,024
You keep the... the
new hire around.

449
00:21:10,026 --> 00:21:12,109
You let her fill
in every so often.

450
00:21:12,111 --> 00:21:14,311
Two Black women have jobs

451
00:21:14,313 --> 00:21:17,604
and all is right with the world.

452
00:21:19,068 --> 00:21:21,017
Okay, this, right here,

453
00:21:21,019 --> 00:21:23,070
is even crazy for your ass.

454
00:21:23,072 --> 00:21:25,219
Honey, you have hitched
your wagon to me,

455
00:21:25,665 --> 00:21:28,609
so if I'm out of "Prime Time,"

456
00:21:28,790 --> 00:21:32,362
oh, baby, we are out of "Prime
Time." Bye-bye big check.

457
00:21:32,364 --> 00:21:35,956
Hello, regional news. So...

458
00:21:37,536 --> 00:21:40,193
- How ugly do you want her?
- Fugly.

459
00:21:42,108 --> 00:21:44,007
Get it! Get it!

460
00:21:44,009 --> 00:21:46,086
Don't shoot it past.

461
00:21:48,147 --> 00:21:50,731
I wish you would have told me
to wear something orange.

462
00:21:50,733 --> 00:21:53,342
Well, don't worry about
that, okay? It's fine.

463
00:21:53,344 --> 00:21:56,258
Yeah, but I wish I was wearing
the team colors like everyone else.

464
00:21:57,022 --> 00:21:59,456
- Hey.
- Hey, Dad. Hey, Mama.

465
00:21:59,458 --> 00:22:01,186
- Hey, baby.
- Hey, sweetie.

466
00:22:01,188 --> 00:22:04,828
Patrick. Does
Tracy's probation officer

467
00:22:04,830 --> 00:22:07,030
know where she is?
- Mama, play nice now.

468
00:22:07,032 --> 00:22:09,083
I'm just asking a question.

469
00:22:09,085 --> 00:22:11,474
Yes, they know where I am,
Mrs. Patterson.

470
00:22:11,476 --> 00:22:13,521
I have to get approval
to come here.

471
00:22:13,810 --> 00:22:16,373
Well, as long as the authorities
know where you are.

472
00:22:16,375 --> 00:22:19,876
We don't want any drama,
you know, that upsets

473
00:22:19,878 --> 00:22:22,866
the family or... or D'Asia.
- Mama.

474
00:22:29,161 --> 00:22:31,449
- You got it, baby.
- Go, go, go!

475
00:22:34,493 --> 00:22:36,694
That's great, baby, yeah.

476
00:22:42,053 --> 00:22:43,426
- Great job with D'Asia.
- Oh.

477
00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:45,808
- Looks like the practicing paid off.
- I know, right.

478
00:22:45,810 --> 00:22:48,186
- We know where she
gets the talent from.
- Oh, thank you ladies.

479
00:22:48,188 --> 00:22:51,043
Actually, I'm the one that won
two championships playing basketball.

480
00:22:51,045 --> 00:22:54,748
- Hi, I'm Tracy, D'Asia's mom.
- Oh, nice to meet you.

481
00:22:56,162 --> 00:22:57,560
Girl, relax.
People didn't know.

482
00:22:57,562 --> 00:22:59,786
Well, maybe had you
introduced me.

483
00:23:01,054 --> 00:23:03,231
I just want everyone to know
where she gets her talent from

484
00:23:03,233 --> 00:23:06,456
because it's not you
or your family.

485
00:23:07,226 --> 00:23:09,393
- That gift came from me.
- Okay, fine.

486
00:23:09,395 --> 00:23:10,566
Stop making a scene.

487
00:23:16,435 --> 00:23:19,936
- Foul, number 31.
- There we go. All right.

488
00:23:19,938 --> 00:23:21,408
All right, baby, you got it.
You got this.

489
00:23:21,410 --> 00:23:23,064
Follow through. Follow through.

490
00:23:24,994 --> 00:23:27,259
- Go. Get it, sweetie.
- Come on, D'Asia.

491
00:23:27,343 --> 00:23:29,459
You go, girl, D'Asia!

492
00:23:30,101 --> 00:23:31,875
You can do it.

493
00:23:35,767 --> 00:23:37,033
Yes!

494
00:23:40,926 --> 00:23:42,926
Get it, girl. Get in there.

495
00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:47,104
Damn it, Patrick,
it's 4:20... I have to go.

496
00:23:47,106 --> 00:23:48,814
Why don't you just take my car,

497
00:23:48,816 --> 00:23:51,275
then you can stay an extra ten
minutes before leaving, okay?

498
00:23:51,851 --> 00:23:52,969
I...

499
00:23:52,971 --> 00:23:55,856
I can't. My license
was suspended.

500
00:23:55,858 --> 00:23:58,636
I like to see my grandbaby play.

501
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,526
You gonna be all right?

502
00:24:04,933 --> 00:24:07,736
Hey, Patrick, those chili Fritos
are not agreein' with my stomach.

503
00:24:07,738 --> 00:24:09,097
You gotta take
over for a second.

504
00:24:09,099 --> 00:24:10,537
Okay. All right, coach.

505
00:24:10,539 --> 00:24:12,957
She's wonderful, isn't she?

506
00:24:14,658 --> 00:24:16,645
All right, team,
let's go, let's go!

507
00:24:18,163 --> 00:24:20,298
Look, there has to be a coach.

508
00:24:21,300 --> 00:24:24,840
I mean, I guess somebody
has to be the responsible adult, right?

509
00:24:24,970 --> 00:24:26,595
What are you doing?
Don't you have somewhere to go?

510
00:24:26,597 --> 00:24:28,743
I'm just a junky thief, right?

511
00:24:28,745 --> 00:24:32,338
I smoked all that
crack by myself, huh?

512
00:24:33,134 --> 00:24:34,707
Come on, baby, get
back on offense.

513
00:24:34,709 --> 00:24:36,613
Why don't you just knock it off
and get outta here?

514
00:24:36,615 --> 00:24:38,399
Patrick, I blew people

515
00:24:38,401 --> 00:24:42,290
to make money to support us
and now I don't belong?

516
00:24:45,323 --> 00:24:47,533
Ignore me if you want,

517
00:24:47,535 --> 00:24:49,589
but whatever you think of me,
you're the same.

518
00:24:49,831 --> 00:24:51,860
And no matter how much
money your family has,

519
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:53,425
you're still an addict.

520
00:25:07,127 --> 00:25:08,903
Yeah.

521
00:25:09,285 --> 00:25:10,767
I did everything you told me to do.

522
00:25:10,769 --> 00:25:14,096
I explained how we can use the
ugly Black woman momentum

523
00:25:14,098 --> 00:25:15,559
while you're sidelined

524
00:25:15,567 --> 00:25:18,477
to bolster some talented,
non-threatening candidate

525
00:25:18,479 --> 00:25:20,023
and Greg does what
he always does.

526
00:25:20,025 --> 00:25:21,851
He just frickin'
switched it up on me.

527
00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:22,889
I just don't get it.

528
00:25:22,891 --> 00:25:25,433
It's like they don't care that
they're alienating the viewers.

529
00:25:25,517 --> 00:25:26,883
I'm... I'm concerned.

530
00:25:26,885 --> 00:25:28,689
Can you please put
that bat down?

531
00:25:28,691 --> 00:25:30,166
- My gosh.
- Who'd they get?

532
00:25:30,893 --> 00:25:33,194
They got her.

533
00:25:34,863 --> 00:25:36,946
- A Latina?
- Mm-hm.

534
00:25:36,948 --> 00:25:38,907
They wanna put JLo Junior in my chair?

535
00:25:38,909 --> 00:25:41,221
Oh, baby, I'm not
worried at all.

536
00:25:41,346 --> 00:25:42,533
Really?
You are not worried

537
00:25:42,535 --> 00:25:44,355
because have you frickin'
looked at this girl?

538
00:25:44,357 --> 00:25:45,958
I mean, she's hot.

539
00:25:46,263 --> 00:25:47,808
I mean, if I had a "lick her" license,

540
00:25:47,810 --> 00:25:50,329
I would totally be into that.

541
00:25:50,331 --> 00:25:52,594
If you chiseled off all that
Maybelline off her face,

542
00:25:52,596 --> 00:25:54,215
you couldn't even tell
which race she is.

543
00:25:54,217 --> 00:25:57,306
She's all make-up
and no substance.

544
00:25:57,308 --> 00:26:00,672
Why, because she's beautiful
and young, she's not qualified?

545
00:26:00,697 --> 00:26:01,879
Okay.

546
00:26:03,476 --> 00:26:06,477
Oh, she's done news four
years and has anchored twice.

547
00:26:06,479 --> 00:26:08,246
All make-up, no substance.

548
00:26:08,248 --> 00:26:10,532
Well, you've gotta
start somewhere, chickie.

549
00:26:10,534 --> 00:26:11,742
Baby, she is the dress

550
00:26:11,744 --> 00:26:14,152
that you... you buy and wear once

551
00:26:14,154 --> 00:26:16,871
and then take back to
the store the next day.

552
00:26:16,873 --> 00:26:18,342
She's a return item.

553
00:26:20,358 --> 00:26:21,714
Hopefully.

554
00:26:31,885 --> 00:26:34,232
- Hey.
- Hey.

555
00:26:34,234 --> 00:26:36,071
Who's this?

556
00:26:36,766 --> 00:26:38,898
She is here to
pick up my iPhone.

557
00:26:39,181 --> 00:26:40,976
Yeah, she works for one
of those you break it,

558
00:26:40,977 --> 00:26:43,056
we fix it mobile services.
- Oh.

559
00:26:43,058 --> 00:26:44,324
And since my car is trashed,

560
00:26:44,325 --> 00:26:46,465
she is here.
- That's unique.

561
00:26:46,467 --> 00:26:48,760
Yeah, I can fix anything.

562
00:26:48,762 --> 00:26:51,207
- Yeah.
- Oh. Do you have a business card?

563
00:26:51,209 --> 00:26:52,877
Well, yeah, you know, she has a card

564
00:26:52,879 --> 00:26:55,120
and a "lick her" license.
- Oh.

565
00:26:55,135 --> 00:26:58,580
- Yeah. Mm-hm.
- Oh.
- I'm outta cards, but I'm sure

566
00:26:58,582 --> 00:27:00,582
Miss Paul can give
you my information.

567
00:27:00,584 --> 00:27:02,932
- Okay. - Mm-hm.
- That'd be great.

568
00:27:03,159 --> 00:27:04,282
Well, out you go.

569
00:27:04,284 --> 00:27:07,299
- Got a show to produce.
- I absolutely do.
It was nice meeting you.

570
00:27:07,354 --> 00:27:09,491
- Oh, nice meeting you.
- Good luck.

571
00:27:09,493 --> 00:27:11,678
- Thank you.
- You, too.

572
00:27:13,946 --> 00:27:16,196
- "Lick her" license?
- Hm...

573
00:27:18,914 --> 00:27:20,335
Where's my money?

574
00:27:21,354 --> 00:27:23,285
Okay, so here's the deal.

575
00:27:23,287 --> 00:27:25,020
I have a messenger en route

576
00:27:25,022 --> 00:27:27,590
with $5,000 in cash

577
00:27:27,592 --> 00:27:30,105
and if you're cool with that amount,
then we've got a deal.

578
00:27:30,952 --> 00:27:32,358
That's not the number we discussed.

579
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:34,038
Well, that's all I can afford, so...

580
00:27:37,370 --> 00:27:39,278
This is your house, right?

581
00:27:41,374 --> 00:27:44,131
Yes, okay, I have
expensive taste, Cece,

582
00:27:44,133 --> 00:27:46,662
but I also have to
take care of my...

583
00:27:46,664 --> 00:27:48,419
my drug addict brother,
my sick mother,

584
00:27:48,421 --> 00:27:50,147
my... my niece, her two kids.

585
00:27:51,023 --> 00:27:52,717
Cece, you're just gonna have to
get in line because I don't have

586
00:27:52,719 --> 00:27:55,118
$25,000 to give you, okay?

587
00:27:55,283 --> 00:27:57,588
I have $5,000, so...

588
00:27:58,591 --> 00:28:01,325
deal with it.
- Okay. All right.

589
00:28:02,595 --> 00:28:05,068
$25,000 is my blessing.

590
00:28:06,366 --> 00:28:07,982
So here's what's gonna happen.

591
00:28:07,984 --> 00:28:10,768
I know you get paid
every two weeks, so...

592
00:28:10,770 --> 00:28:13,057
you are gonna pay me,
every two weeks,

593
00:28:13,059 --> 00:28:15,637
$5,000 in cash

594
00:28:15,777 --> 00:28:17,658
until I get back to my blessing.

595
00:28:18,411 --> 00:28:21,536
I just told you everything
I have to deal with and you
still wanna extort me?

596
00:28:21,832 --> 00:28:23,316
It's the best I can do.

597
00:28:24,617 --> 00:28:27,385
So, now you deal with it.

598
00:28:35,909 --> 00:28:38,456
- Thank you.
- The messenger's stuck in traffic.

599
00:28:38,458 --> 00:28:41,547
Oh. I see you're readin'
WEB Du Bois.

600
00:28:41,822 --> 00:28:44,150
What do you know about Du Bois?

601
00:28:44,152 --> 00:28:45,284
What do I know?

602
00:28:45,331 --> 00:28:47,386
- A hell of a lot more than you do.
- Hm...

603
00:28:47,425 --> 00:28:48,643
I promise you that.

604
00:28:48,645 --> 00:28:49,613
I bet you don't even know

605
00:28:49,615 --> 00:28:51,860
what the "W", the "E"
or the "B" stand for.

606
00:28:51,862 --> 00:28:54,618
William Edward Burghardt.
Don't try me.

607
00:28:54,620 --> 00:28:56,347
You're not gonna extort me
and insult my intelligence.

608
00:28:56,349 --> 00:28:58,399
I'm not trying to
insult your intelligence.

609
00:28:58,553 --> 00:29:01,653
I'm just questioning your choice
of reading material.

610
00:29:01,655 --> 00:29:03,115
Are you gonna go there
with me?

611
00:29:03,117 --> 00:29:05,545
Bring it.

612
00:29:06,243 --> 00:29:08,633
Oh, it's already been broughten.

613
00:29:10,861 --> 00:29:11,976
GREG's VOICE: Look, Kara,

614
00:29:11,978 --> 00:29:13,814
I know you're in Mary Jane's corner,

615
00:29:13,884 --> 00:29:16,715
but you need to make sure
Marisol is ready to go.

616
00:29:16,717 --> 00:29:19,050
KARA's VOICE: Greg, of course.

617
00:29:19,052 --> 00:29:21,763
I am a professional, okay?
All good.

618
00:29:21,765 --> 00:29:23,653
Great. I just wanna make sure

619
00:29:23,655 --> 00:29:26,174
we're all on the same page.
- KARA's VOICE: We are.

620
00:29:26,418 --> 00:29:29,758
See, we are dealing with
the push-button generation.

621
00:29:30,467 --> 00:29:33,114
Instant gratification is
America's newest export.

622
00:29:33,412 --> 00:29:34,949
All right, these kids these days,

623
00:29:34,951 --> 00:29:36,405
the only thing they're
bringing to the table is

624
00:29:36,407 --> 00:29:38,222
expectations and entitlement,

625
00:29:38,224 --> 00:29:41,443
that's it, and that's a direct
result of the culture.

626
00:29:41,445 --> 00:29:45,163
Well, that'd sound
great in a term paper.

627
00:29:46,132 --> 00:29:47,919
But the truth is

628
00:29:47,921 --> 00:29:51,538
centuries of slavery
followed by systematic

629
00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:55,522
terrorism, discrimination,
segregation and so on,

630
00:29:55,645 --> 00:29:58,754
now that's what
impedes the Black man

631
00:29:58,756 --> 00:30:00,521
from his success.

632
00:30:00,623 --> 00:30:01,662
Excuses.

633
00:30:01,982 --> 00:30:03,792
Excuses!
That's all it is.

634
00:30:04,129 --> 00:30:06,840
Okay, yes, I will be
the first to admit that

635
00:30:06,842 --> 00:30:09,517
there are countless atrocities
in our past...

636
00:30:09,519 --> 00:30:11,071
- Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
- ...that have prevented us

637
00:30:11,073 --> 00:30:13,157
from competing, truly competing on

638
00:30:13,159 --> 00:30:15,529
a level playing field.
I will give you that.

639
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:18,610
However, can we both
be honest here?

640
00:30:18,612 --> 00:30:22,030
Some of us are just... lazy.

641
00:30:22,032 --> 00:30:25,566
Okay, there, I said it.
Some of us are just lazy.

642
00:30:25,568 --> 00:30:27,136
That was actually quite freeing.

643
00:30:27,138 --> 00:30:29,153
You should say it with me.

644
00:30:29,155 --> 00:30:30,560
Oh, yeah,

645
00:30:30,874 --> 00:30:33,607
lazy Negro,

646
00:30:34,415 --> 00:30:36,427
lazy Negro.

647
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,801
It's easy to criticize
when you've made it.

648
00:30:42,803 --> 00:30:44,886
Unh-unh, you're not
gonna put that on me.

649
00:30:44,888 --> 00:30:46,155
No, sir.

650
00:30:47,664 --> 00:30:49,643
Cece, that's you.

651
00:30:49,645 --> 00:30:52,591
That's all you. Yeah.

652
00:30:52,979 --> 00:30:55,647
Because instead of figuring out
how to make your own money,

653
00:30:55,649 --> 00:30:57,350
oh, it's just easier to take mine...

654
00:30:57,352 --> 00:30:59,399
'cause you're lazy.

655
00:30:59,903 --> 00:31:03,238
You's a lazy-ass Negro, okay?

656
00:31:03,474 --> 00:31:06,107
And... and... and you, like
every other warped person,

657
00:31:06,109 --> 00:31:09,106
uses religion to lead the
charge of their crimes.

658
00:31:09,579 --> 00:31:10,755
Lazy Negro.

659
00:31:12,067 --> 00:31:14,282
Look, this popcorn is salty.

660
00:31:14,526 --> 00:31:17,518
- Can I have, uh,
another glass of water.
- No.

661
00:31:20,526 --> 00:31:23,175
Good evening,
I'm Marisol Esparza.

662
00:31:23,221 --> 00:31:24,647
Welcome to "Prime Time."

663
00:31:25,216 --> 00:31:28,286
Mary Jane Paul is still at home
recovering and I promise to

664
00:31:28,288 --> 00:31:31,382
do my very best to hold down
the fort until she returns.

665
00:31:31,384 --> 00:31:33,217
Get well soon, Mary Jane.

666
00:31:33,241 --> 00:31:34,764
Ooh, she's cute.

667
00:31:36,018 --> 00:31:39,151
- You can wait in the car.
- Don't be mad at me because

668
00:31:39,153 --> 00:31:40,125
my eyes work.

669
00:31:40,127 --> 00:31:43,876
...there'll be effective actions
on immigration in a speech
tomorrow night.

670
00:31:44,902 --> 00:31:46,230
Look at that outfit.

671
00:31:46,232 --> 00:31:48,132
Try and get me to wear
that tacky-ass jacket.

672
00:31:48,134 --> 00:31:50,917
Hm, that jacket is even cute.

673
00:31:52,567 --> 00:31:55,323
- Fetching.
- Did you just say "fetching"?

674
00:31:55,407 --> 00:31:58,912
Yes, as in alluring,
attractive,

675
00:31:58,914 --> 00:32:00,687
fetching, as in...

676
00:32:00,882 --> 00:32:02,849
her jacket is fetching.

677
00:32:02,851 --> 00:32:05,634
Hmph.

678
00:32:05,948 --> 00:32:09,831
Listen to her. She's boring.
She's like human ambiance.

679
00:32:10,206 --> 00:32:12,299
Why are you assaulting
that girl's game?

680
00:32:12,556 --> 00:32:15,158
Assault? What year is this again?

681
00:32:15,378 --> 00:32:17,182
Hm, I didn't know
you spoke "deflection."

682
00:32:17,184 --> 00:32:19,674
I am not deflecting, okay?

683
00:32:20,132 --> 00:32:23,384
Remember, she's keeping my chair
warm, not the other way around.

684
00:32:23,469 --> 00:32:26,455
- I'm not worried.
- Well, you should be worried.

685
00:32:26,845 --> 00:32:29,329
The growth of the
Hispanic population is

686
00:32:29,331 --> 00:32:32,845
changing the face of this
country as we speak...

687
00:32:33,468 --> 00:32:36,434
52 million Americans of Latin

688
00:32:36,436 --> 00:32:38,663
descent in this
country, honey.

689
00:32:38,899 --> 00:32:41,670
In the next 30 years, we're all
gonna be wearing cowboy boots

690
00:32:41,672 --> 00:32:44,924
and eatin' corn on the
cob with mayonnaise.

691
00:32:46,050 --> 00:32:48,693
I'm not worried.
Do you know why?

692
00:32:48,695 --> 00:32:51,818
- Hablo español.
- Please, just because you

693
00:32:51,820 --> 00:32:54,198
speaks Spanish don't
make you one of them.

694
00:32:57,059 --> 00:33:00,252
Woo, she got you, shook up.

695
00:33:00,254 --> 00:33:01,410
No. No.

696
00:33:01,412 --> 00:33:04,268
I knew it. You know,
ain't nothing worse

697
00:33:04,270 --> 00:33:06,028
than underestimating
your opponent.

698
00:33:06,112 --> 00:33:07,895
SNC treated me like that.

699
00:33:07,897 --> 00:33:10,031
Thinkin' they could buy me.

700
00:33:10,033 --> 00:33:11,304
Well, you cashed the check,

701
00:33:11,306 --> 00:33:14,829
so one could conclude
that they did buy you.

702
00:33:14,831 --> 00:33:16,289
Oh, funny.

703
00:33:16,712 --> 00:33:19,126
Yeah, but while you standin' here

704
00:33:19,204 --> 00:33:21,578
crackin' on old Cece,

705
00:33:21,795 --> 00:33:24,430
that pretty Latin honey,

706
00:33:24,570 --> 00:33:28,241
she's probably takin' Instagram
photos in your chair.

707
00:33:32,471 --> 00:33:33,586
Ooh.

708
00:33:33,923 --> 00:33:35,751
Yes, Miss Paul,

709
00:33:35,967 --> 00:33:39,283
that's the
face of the future...

710
00:33:39,979 --> 00:33:41,645
right there.

711
00:33:41,647 --> 00:33:42,923
You know something?

712
00:33:43,426 --> 00:33:45,192
If you want your job back,

713
00:33:45,544 --> 00:33:47,144
you'd better get up and go get it,

714
00:33:48,043 --> 00:33:49,598
'cause in a minute,

715
00:33:50,344 --> 00:33:53,198
you ain't gonna be able to get
her outta your chair.

716
00:33:55,524 --> 00:33:56,727
Okay, it's time
for you to go.

717
00:33:56,729 --> 00:33:58,133

728
00:34:43,717 --> 00:34:46,260
If she doesn't get to bed early,
it'll be a long morning.

729
00:34:46,262 --> 00:34:48,986
Oh, Patrick, I didn't
know you were here.

730
00:34:49,267 --> 00:34:51,743
I just got some ice cream for the kids.
Do you want some?

731
00:34:51,782 --> 00:34:54,141
No, thank you, no.
I'm just here for D'Asia.

732
00:34:54,143 --> 00:34:55,433
Oh, thank you, baby.

733
00:34:55,967 --> 00:34:58,189
Hey, you looked good out
there with those kids.

734
00:34:58,191 --> 00:34:59,386
It looked like you were havin' fun.

735
00:34:59,388 --> 00:35:01,966
Yeah, I like being on the court
coaching, this kinda thing.

736
00:35:02,114 --> 00:35:05,731
I'd like to spend more time
with D'Asia, but this job, Lordy.

737
00:35:05,949 --> 00:35:08,566
They've got me on call for
25 lousy hours a week

738
00:35:08,568 --> 00:35:10,786
and never tell me when I'm working,
so I can't plan my schedule

739
00:35:10,788 --> 00:35:13,352
and it's tough finding
sitters at the last minute.

740
00:35:13,493 --> 00:35:15,547
Oh, here it comes. Now,

741
00:35:16,407 --> 00:35:19,493
Patrick, you know
I love my grandbaby. But...

742
00:35:19,727 --> 00:35:23,375
I'm older now and I just
don't see myself as a nanny.

743
00:35:23,377 --> 00:35:25,485
I'm not asking you to, mama.

744
00:35:28,701 --> 00:35:30,343
Dad...

745
00:35:32,392 --> 00:35:35,688
You've been asking me for years
if I needed help and I've been...

746
00:35:36,596 --> 00:35:38,593
too proud to take it, but...

747
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,450
I'm ready for you to actually
make that call for me.

748
00:35:43,950 --> 00:35:45,561
I need a job.

749
00:35:45,695 --> 00:35:48,148
Something steady so I can be
there for D'Asia and

750
00:35:48,649 --> 00:35:51,611
I don't care, really,
what it is. I just...

751
00:35:52,416 --> 00:35:54,974
Anything you can do,
Dad, would be great.

752
00:35:55,615 --> 00:36:00,548
Oh... Oh... Oh...

753
00:36:03,938 --> 00:36:07,030
Oh... Dad. What?

754
00:36:08,461 --> 00:36:11,076
Are you okay? Are
you okay, Dad?

755
00:36:11,193 --> 00:36:13,421
I think I'll join your dad.

756
00:36:13,953 --> 00:36:17,734
- He's having an emotional moment.
- Oh.

757
00:36:25,435 --> 00:36:28,070
How come you didn't fight
Like this for me and Naima?

758
00:36:30,036 --> 00:36:31,857
Huh, what are you talking about?

759
00:36:31,859 --> 00:36:35,209
You weren't there for me and Naima.

760
00:36:35,538 --> 00:36:37,387
You were always gone.. some club,

761
00:36:37,389 --> 00:36:39,548
some party, some woman.

762
00:36:40,236 --> 00:36:42,666
You never had time for us.

763
00:36:43,096 --> 00:36:45,721
Somebody's gotta make the money, right?
Remember that?

764
00:36:46,066 --> 00:36:47,714
Niecy, come on.

765
00:36:52,405 --> 00:36:54,115
I was going through some problems.
You know that.

766
00:36:54,117 --> 00:36:55,643
Yeah, and I watched you struggle...

767
00:36:58,811 --> 00:37:01,658
trying to do
everything yourself...

768
00:37:02,866 --> 00:37:05,390
not asking anybody for anything

769
00:37:05,869 --> 00:37:08,080
because you wanted
to be independent.

770
00:37:09,756 --> 00:37:11,748
And I remember thinking like, wow,

771
00:37:12,107 --> 00:37:13,966
my dad, he may not be rollin',

772
00:37:14,857 --> 00:37:17,482
but at least he's
trying to make it on his own.

773
00:37:18,602 --> 00:37:20,375
But that turned out to be some BS

774
00:37:20,375 --> 00:37:22,486
because now that you're coaching D'Asia,

775
00:37:23,029 --> 00:37:24,553
you're suddenly super dad.

776
00:37:24,709 --> 00:37:27,553
- No, it's not that.
- And you're gonna ask
Grandpa for a job

777
00:37:28,303 --> 00:37:30,532
so you can be
the perfect father for her.

778
00:37:30,534 --> 00:37:32,828
- No, it's not...
- Me and Naima,

779
00:37:33,548 --> 00:37:35,783
we could have
used the perfect father, too.

780
00:37:37,334 --> 00:37:39,037
It would've been great.

781
00:37:44,479 --> 00:37:45,642
