Previously on "All American"...

Spencer James?

Billy Baker, Varsity Coach,

Beverly High. I need you
to come play for me.

Hey, cheers, baby!

Bro, you almost missed the
whole celebration here.

I hope your dad is enjoying
his well-earned vacation.

I had an affair with Grace James.

This is the last time I'm
coming to get you like this.

- I miss them, Gracie.
- Well, then boss up.

Are you ready to finally
tell me the truth?

What are you talking about?

One minute you're destroying your house

and the next, you're all
Football Barbie on crack.

I promise you, I don't need saving.

Why are you wasting your time?
'Cause I'm pretty sure

you could be giving Drake
a run for his money.

I don't want you hanging around
that Patience girl anymore.

Mom, I am gay.

So you're quitting on the team?

I'm prioritizing.

Naw, man, you're punishing yourself.

Look at the old man.

Man, thanks for convincing moms
to let me come stay with you.

Morning.

Hiya, Spencer. Good morning.

What can I get you? Eggs? Pancakes?

I'm good, Mrs. Baker.
Thank you, though.

Well, at least let me...

Treat you guys to some lunch.

Got to get ready for work.

You two have a really
good day at school.

How long you think she's
gonna keep that up?

What, buying us lunch?

Yeah, her whole fairy godmother act.

Ever since my dad moved out,
it's like she's been trying

way too hard to make
our lives seem normal.

Ain't nothing normal about this.

_

You OK?

That's my way of saying,
"I know you're not OK."

Yeah, just some stuff
going on with my pops.

Well, I know that much by the way

you've been giving his
calls the Heisman.

He wants me to come play for him
at South Crenshaw next season.

Wow. That's really big.

I mean, you... you know that.

Are you going to?

I don't know yet.

Well, I'm not gonna lie.
That would suck.

But I guess it wouldn't suck for
South Crenshaw or your dad.

Just talk to him. I mean, avoiding
him isn't gonna make it any easier.

Yeah, maybe.

Listen, don't say nothing
to Chris, all right?

Not till I've got this figured out.

I don't want him getting his hopes up.

Yeah, I don't think not telling
Chris is gonna be a problem.

Why? What's going on?

Chris and I kinda broke up.

Well, correction. He broke up with me.

It's not a big deal. Don't
really want to talk about it,

so back to your dad.

- Olivia...
- Spencer, it's OK,

really. Um...

He needs to focus on physical rehab

with no distractions and
apparently that's what I am.

Spence, Liv, this is, uh, Channel.

Chanel. Nice to meet you.

Right. OK, look, I'm
gonna take her home,

so I'll see you guys at school?

Cool. Let's do it.

- Does she look like...
- Your mom? Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, sorry I slept through the gym.

Hey, Julie and I snuck out last night,

had our own workout with
some college chicks.

Yo, come on, man.

Ever since we won state,
you and Jordan have been

partying out and half-assing practices.

"Half-assing" is a
little aggressive, bro.

Whatever, man. Just bring
it at practice today.

Oh, Coach Davis said
today is, uh, optional.

Our first scrimmage is tomorrow.

When'd you stop caring
about football, man?

Oh, chill. I mean, even Coach
Baker's still on vacation.

What's up?

Y'all seen Layla?

Uh, maybe... maybe she slept in.

You know, people do that occasionally.

No, man, not Layla. She's never late.

- Synced and corrected by martythecrazy -
- www.addic7ed.com -

Man, Layla still ain't hit me back.
I hope she a'ight.

Heh! She looks fine to me.

- I'ma holla at you.
- All right, man.

Later.

Oh, I'll see you later.

- OK, bye.
- Hey.

Where you been? Didn't get my text?

Sorry.

I was at breakfast with my dad.

- So you skipped class?
- Well, breakfast with my dad

doesn't happen very often,
and class does every day.

OK. I was just worried.

Don't be.

I'm good. I'm better than good.

I get to see my man take
the field tomorrow.

You sure you're not gonna skip it?

I couldn't even if I wanted to.

Student council is having
a raffle to raise money

for the team, so you
better come to play.

- You know I always do.
- Good, because

if not, I just might skip it.

Oh. Ouch. OK.

Baby, this is so good.
This is really good.

Heh! You like it for real, or
you lying 'cause you my girl?

No, I like it for real. I
mean, you knew I would.

- Just wanted to hear you say it.
- Such a diva.

- You already know.
- Mm-hmm.

Well, I can't wait to hear the rest.

Neither can I. I mean, so every time

I sit down and I try to
write, I end up staring

at that blank-ass page
and nothing comes out.

OK, well, maybe I could come over

so I can give you some inspiration.

- I'm liking the sound of that.
- Heh!

But, you know, you live way closer,

so we might as well just head
over there after school.

I don't get it.

- What?
- Like, how do you go from

facing down a whole,
entire gang one day

and then being afraid of
your mom the next? Like...

- What does that even mean?
- You haven't invited me over

since you moved back home,

so what, did you move back
into the closet, too?

Come on, girl, you trippin'.
My mom knows I'm gay.

Mm-hmm. I mean, as long as
she doesn't see it, right?

No, it's not even like that.

Yeah.

Patience!

Hey, Don Juan.

What the hell was that girl doing
in our house this morning?

Well, first off, she's in
college, so she's a woman,

and I think you know what
she was doing there,

but if you need me to break
it down for you, I will.

Are you insane? What if mom caught you?

Well, based on the way
she's been acting lately,

she'd probably pretend
to be cool with it.

Look, why don't you just
try to do the same?

OK, she's only pretending

because she feels guilty
about dad leaving,

which, by the way, isn't her fault,

so why are you being a jackass?

Why are you being annoying, Liv?

We have free rein. We might
as well have some fun,

and if you don't want to, that's fine.

Just at least stop ruining mine.

Yo, what's up, Chris?

Look, I know you're out in A.T.L.
getting yoked

for the next season, but I
just thought you'd appreciate

seeing what's waiting for
you when you get back.

Your team misses you, dawg,
so do what you got to do

and hurry up and get
your ass back, a'ight?

Yo, Bill Belichick,

get your spying ass off our field.

Yo, chill, man. I'm recording a
video for Chris while I wait

for my pops to finish up, a'ight?

Oh, well, in that case,
hey, Chris Jackson,

get your black ass back on our field.

- See? even Cam misses you, dawg.
- Naw, naw.

I'm just saying you better
not be gone too long

'cause your new backup's
got a Cannon, bro.

What are you doing, man? He
ain't gotta see all that.

Look, I'm just trying to
light a fire under his ass.

If Chris don't come back on his
"A" game, he's getting replaced.

This new kid Coach Corey brought
in from Nevada ain't no joke.

You say from Nevada?

Mm-hmm.

What, your pops didn't
tell you about him?

They super close, too.

Maybe Chris ain't the only
one about to be replaced.

Patience, I'm sorry, OK?

Everybody already hates me in school

for snitching on Tyrone.

Please don't tell me
you joined the list.

I don't hate you, Tamia.

"Tamia"?

Not "babe"?

You do hate me.

A'ight, but do you hate my new lyrics?

Check it.

♪ My name is Coop and I'm here to say ♪

♪ that I'm a fool, but I love my baby ♪

Stop, stop.

Yes, those I hate.

God, you're so annoying.

You're so annoying. Don't...
don't even hug me.

You're so annoying. Ugh.

- Spence, what's up?
- What's up?

Move back already?

Hey, my lips are sealed, OK?

Nah, I was just checking out
that Crenshaw practice.

Y'all know anything about that new QB?

Come on, man.

We stopped watching that game
when our star receiver bounced.

Yeah, we'll watch when
you come back, so...

Loyalty. I like... I like that. Ha ha.

Smells like snitch.

Y'all fellas got something to say?

See, I would tell you, but, uh,
your narc friend would rat us out.

Maybe she ain't the one you
got to be worried about.

Look, come on. It's all good.

It ain't all good. How come
you ain't say nothin'?

What you want me to say?
They're not worth my time.

Hold up. Since when does Coop
not stand up for herself?

Ooh, yeah, she's been
real quiet lately.

At here, at home.

Whatever. Um, look, I got to go, so
I will catch you guys later, OK?

What's that all about?

She is trippin', bro,

and it's probably 'cause I
ain't had her over in a while.

- All right, so invite her over.
- Come on.

My moms is a work in progress.

I can't just put them
two together in a room.

Look, Patience is your
girl, and she fell in love

with the Coop who speaks
her mind, no matter what,

the Coop I've known my whole life.

Nothing changed, man. I'm
still the same person.

Not from what I just saw.

To the State Champs and
the ladies who love them.

- Yeah.
- Drink to that.

Let's take a selfie, guys.

Let's do it. Your phone?

I've taken so many of these...

# statechamplife. Hmm.

Is it wrong that I kinda
wish they lost that game?

Yes, Liv, you're an Eagle.
They're just having fun.

Yeah, I don't see fun. I
see a sign around his neck

that says "help me" written
in that girl's lipstick.

You see that sign around everyone's
neck, maybe minus the lipstick.

- OK, that's not true.
- No?

How many times have you asked me
about my dad since he's been back?

One...

Mmm...

- Hundred?
- Closer, yeah.

I'm sorry. I'm just really happy

that you two are doing so well.

It's like we're playing
musical fathers.

Mine leaves, yours comes back.

Don't forget about Spencer's dad.

How could I? I mean, I
can't believe he wants

Spencer to move back to Crenshaw.

And I have the biggest
mouth in the world.

I am so sorry. He didn't
want to tell me, OK?

I pried it out of him this morning,

and I just assumed that he told you.

Liv, it's fine. Sure he was
planning on telling me.

He just hasn't gotten the chance yet.

- Here you go.
- There it is.

- No? OK.
- Ha ha ha!

Hey. So this is why you
guys missed practice?

- Practice?
- Ha ha!

I mean, we're talking about practice?

Yeah, it was optional.

And... game tomorrow isn't.

Look, I guarantee you guys
that Encino's been practicing.

Yeah, of course they have been, OK?

They're about to face
the State Champs, Ash.

Hey, you're our quarterback, Jordan.

We should be running
our plays right now.

We already know the plays. You...
you need to relax, seriously.

JJ, tell him your joke, please.

Oh, uh, knock knock.

- OK, who's there?
- Ha ha!

State Champs, baby!

Whoo! Ha ha!

Ha ha! OK.

- Thank you.
- Oh, you're welcome.

So, listen, I, uh, I just
dropped by to thank you

for the much-needed kick in the
behind you gave me last week.

Well, that is definitely
an improvement.

The miracles of a razor and a shower.

Yeah.

How's, uh... How's Spencer?

He's still not sure what school
he's gonna play for next year.

He's afraid he's gonna
make the wrong decision...

Which, I hear, has been going around.

Spencer told me you're resigning.

I think you're making a huge mistake.

You know, I just want to do what's
right for my family right now,

and I think leaving the team
will give Jordan some space.

Boys don't need space.
They need their fathers.

Isn't that why you moved back home,

to make things right with your dad?

Yeah, and look how that turned out.

I booked him a flight back from
Florida, and he didn't get on it.

Well, Willy may not be in L.A.,

but there is another Baker man who is.

That's who you should be talking to.

Space isn't gonna fix you and Jordan.

Why this thing got you so upset?

Ain't no kid gonna come in South
Crenshaw and take Chris' spot.

Why not? That's how it went
down when I rolled to Beverly.

Yeah, but this kid ain't Spencer James.

I don't know who he is.

So why didn't you ask your pops
when you was just at the practice?

'Cause he was too busy with his
new recruits, so I bounced.

Hee hee! Yo, you love making
things tough for yourself.

Yeah, look who's talking.

You ain't exactly keeping it real

with your moms, either;
otherwise you'd be

kicking it with Patience right now.

Hey.

- That's him?
- Yeah.

Heh! Don't look like much to me.

You know, you left before
I could introduce you

to coach's favorite new QB1.

Hey, I don't know
nothing about football,

but ain't that Chris' spot?

Nah, not what I've been told.

Somebody lied to you.

And you? Chris is your boy. You
really gonna do him like this?

Long as I get my targets, man.

I just got to look out for myself,

like you did when you went to Beverly.

Come on, bro.

Ha ha!

Sir, you really can't
be drinking in here.

Look, man, we're not... we're
not bothering anybody, OK?

Actually, you are. People are
complaining that you're being too loud.

Too... Heh! look, I think
they're being too quiet.

Maybe it's best if you
and your friends leave.

Rea... you're kicking us out?

Oh, OK. Look, big guy,

how often do you get
State Champs in here?

Spencer James works here.

OK, whatever. Look,

if anybody has a problem
with the way I am acting,

they can say it to my face, instead
of whining to this kid right here.

We all have a problem with the way

your spoiled bitch-ass is acting.

You're being a dick.

Oh, yeah?

Well, then your girl must not think so,

considering she's already DM'd me

while you were boring
her for the last hour.

Hey, sweetheart, you
want to dump this loser?

There's room at our table.

Keep your mouth shut...

Thank you for not pressing charges,

and I'm really sorry.

They're normally really good kids.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

No problem.

I don't even know what
to say to you right now.

I should have let that police
officer take you two to jail.

How? she was on a bicycle.

You think this is funny, JJ?

- No, ma'am.
- 'Cause you two are gonna pay

for the damages out
of your own pockets,

and I am not even close
to through with you.

- Hey.
- What are you doing here?

A better question is why
didn't you call me?

I shouldn't have to find out
because my son's idiot friend

livestreamed the arrest.

I didn't call you because
I didn't need you,

because I've got it handled.

OK, sure about that?

Great.

You know what, Billy? Just...
Go back to your dad's.

All right.

It's so good to see you
getting back into your music.

You used to love to sing me
songs when you were little.

- Did I?
- Mm-hmm.

Your favorite one was
"another Saturday night,"

only you thought he was singing
about having "no body,"

like he was just a head
floatin' out there.

That ain't changed.

I still can't find the right words.

Girl, don't be so hard on yourself.

The words don't really matter.

People only care about the music
and how it makes them feel.

You know, Patience is
really dope with lyrics,

and she offered to help me.

- Well, that's very sweet of her.
- Yeah.

She, uh, said she was gonna
come over tomorrow night.

Well, tomorrow night's not any good

'cause, uh, I'm hosting
my church group.

That's cool. I mean, we
ain't gonna bother you.

We're just gonna be
in my room, workin'.

Well, I don't think that's a good idea.

I mean, you know how
judgmental they can be.

Mom... they know I'm gay, OK?
I ain't been hidin' it.

But we don't need to go flaunting
it in their faces, do we?

I'm just trying to protect you
and Patience, that's all.

Layla?

What's going on?

You out here by yourself?

What, no suitcases?

No moving Van to take your
stuff back to Crenshaw?

- Layla, look...
- How could you not tell me?

I was going to, a'ight? I just...

You just thought it would sound
better coming from Olivia?

No, I wasn't planning
on telling anyone,

not until I knew what I was gonna do.

Wow. So now I'm just anyone.

Baby, come on.

You know I love you.

Look, you've been so happy
with your dad being back,

I didn't want to ruin
that by bringing this up,

especially when nothing's been decided.

So you want me to believe that
you lied to me for my own good?

- I didn't lie.
- No, it's all good.

You know, I don't know
why I bother to care

so much about other people's feelings

when no one seems to care about mine,

so from now on, I'm just
gonna worry about myself.

Hey. You OK?

Yeah.

Yeah, I was actually
looking for Jordan.

He's gone M.I.A. and he's
not answering his phone

and my mom's on a warpath,

so I figured it was safer for
him if I found him first.

Yeah... I heard about the fight.

The track coach said he
might be back here. Is he?

No, I'm sorry. Just me.

OK. Um, thanks.

Yeah.

Wait. why are you still here?

Isn't football practice way over?

I've just been getting in extra time

in the weight room and on the field.

Guys are all riding high
on the championship,

but my ranking took a
major hit last season.

Best thing I got going for me
right now is junior college,

and that's... That's not good enough.

7-on-7s might be my best chance to
get back on a D1 school's radar.

What?

I'm just proud of you.

Well, I will let you get back to it.

Yeah.

You a hard man to reach.

Yeah, that's my bad. I been kinda busy.

Come on in, sit down.

Look, pops, this new kid from Nevada...

Why he think he taking Chris' spot?

I mean, how you just writing Chris off

without giving him a chance to
bounce back? That's not fa...

Whoa, easy, son. First of all,

the kid from Nevada, he's got a name.

It's Darnell.

He's why I've been trying
to get a hold of you.

Darnell.

Yep, I'm coming.

Oh...

Hey, man.

Look, my bad about earlier.

I never would have gone down like
that if I'd known who you were.

It was nice meeting you, though.

What is this?

Darnell is my ex-girlfriend's son.

He lived with us in, uh, Nevada,

but now he's gonna live with me
out here for a little while.

Y'all lived together in Nevada?

Yeah.

I should have known.

Hey, Spencer?

No, that's my bad.

I broke up y'all little family reunion.

Spencer, wait.

Dude, my mom was

so pissed about yesterday.

Luckily, she believed me when
I said it was all your fault.

- Ah, OK.
- Ha ha!

What'd your mom do to you?

I've been dodging her, but my guess is

she'll do nothing, as usual.

Nice of you to show up, man.

Hey, don't start with me, boy, a'ight?
Not today.

Layla, can you call me back?

Look, I'm sorry about yesterday.

I just need to talk to you, a'ight?

Hey!

What the hell is up, guys? Who died?

I'll tell you who's about to die.

The Encino Panthers, that's who.

Let me hear it! Whose house?

Our house.

What, that's all we've got?

Hey!

We're the damn Beverly Eagles!

Wait, I... I said that wrong.

We're the State Champion
Beverly Eagles.

- Right. yeah.
- Right?

Let's make it so loud, Coach
Baker hears us in Hawaii!

Whose house?

- Our house!
- Screw Coach Baker!

He isn't lounging on
some Hawaiian beach.

Now's not the time, man.

He's passed out on my grandpa's couch.

My dad quit

on all of us, but who cares?

We don't need him or anyone else
who decides to quit on this team.

Let's get this over with.

I talked to my mom.

And by the look on your face,

I'm guessing I'm not
coming over anytime soon.

She's not the easiest person to
talk to, but at least I tried.

Really?

Well, did you tell her that you
need to live your own life

and that accepting you means
accepting who you want to be with?

I think it's a miracle
she let her gay daughter

back in the house in the first place.

So that's a no.

I mean, why can't you just be honest?

- Who says I'm not?
- That's just like

you're not saying anything.

Look, ever since people came at you

for being a snitch, it's like...

It's like you're afraid
to speak your mind.

Damn right I am.

Every time I open my
mouth, somebody get hurt.

My mom, Preach, Shawn.

I'm not tryin' to hurt you, too.

Yeah, well, you are hurting
me by staying quiet.

Well, baby... Heh! You're making
this way too big of a deal.

My mom is not saying
we can't be together.

That's exactly what she's saying

every time she makes
you hide who you are.

And if you allow her, then
you're saying that, too.

We ain't all got parents
as cool as yours.

Your moms accepted you,
straight out of the gate.

Look, all I'm saying is that you
just need to figure out a way

to make her listen,
because if you don't,

then... she's just gonna end
up hurting you all over again.

Maybe it's you who need to listen.

I tried talking to her. It didn't work.

She told me words don't matter,

so it doesn't matter what I say
or how many times I say it.

She is not going to hear me.

Hey, fellas,

welcome to the home
of the State Champs.

Yo.

Wide 62. Hike!

Didn't practice that one, huh?

OK, whatever, man. Just play the game.

About time you got here.

Try again.

I was just worried.

- Mmm.
- Spencer was, too.

It's not like our Stu-co
president to be a no-show.

- Well, I'm here now.
- Yeah, just in time

to not help.

I had to set everything up myself.

By "everything," do
you mean that table?

Congratulations on that herculean task.

Crisis averted.

Um, I hope you'll be OK
to take it down, too,

'cause I'm not really staying long.

Is, uh, is everything OK, Layla?

Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

It's a beautiful day, the sun is out,

the Eagles are playing,
the table's set up.

I heard you missed class yesterday
and showed up late today.

That isn't like you.

What is like me?

I just mean, up until yesterday,
you had a perfect record.

Well, I'm not perfect.

Layla.

Look... if there's something going on,

I hope you know you can always talk
to me or any of our counselors.

There is nothing going on.

I just have bad days,

like everyone else.

Wide 52!

OK? There. Are you happy?

Are we, like, done here?

- No, Layla, we're not done...
- Well, I am,

so if you want to talk to someone,

you can call my dad, and good
luck getting him to answer.

Set, go!

Whoo!

Spencer! Head in the game!

Aah!

Well done, guys.

Hey, JJ,

knock knock.

Why you coming at me? Man,
Jordan threw 3 interceptions.

Look, two of them
weren't even my fault.

You and Spencer weren't exactly
on fire today, either.

Yeah, that's my bad. My
head wasn't in it today.

That's why we should
have practiced, guys.

Encino didn't get better,

we got worse.

Asher's right.

I don't blame him for being upset,

but I don't understand

why y'all aren't more pissed off.

Coming from the coach
who walked out on us.

That was a mistake.

That was my mistake and, uh,

and I'm sorry I wasn't
there for you all.

I was going through some
personal issues, and I...

I guess I lost my way.

I'm not gonna act like it's not a
big deal because I know it is,

but that's still no excuse for
how y'all played out there.

Y'all think y'all are big
shots because you won State?

So did most of the teams
you're gonna play.

This 7-on-7 league

is the best of the best, y'all.

ALL EYES ON US:

Boosters, scouts.

You don't know who's gonna show up.

You don't know.

So... two-a-days.

Practices, two a day,

and I want to see hustle
in every step you take.

If I see you walk slow
by me in the hall,

best believe I'm gonna make
you drop and give me 20.

Heh heh heh!

I hope y'all got losin' out your system

'cause practice starts tomorrow...

And it ain't optional.

Welcome back, Coach.

Ahem.

Son, can I talk to you?

Save your speeches for the team.

All right, the raffle
was a huge success,

despite a few key absences.

OK, uh, moving on to other issues,

we need new paint for the lockers.

And more vegan options
in the cafeteria.

The water fountains? They're too warm.
We should get...

Layla?

Layla?

What?

What do you think?

I... I don't care.

Uh, um, you... you
don't care about what?

Any of it, all of it.

It's all superficial B.S.
and I don't care.

So enjoy your stupid
tofu and wash it down

with whatever unfiltered crap
comes out of the fountain.

Where are you going?

Wasn't it obvious?

Congratulations, Emma. You're
the new STU-CO President.

I quit.

Hey, Liv, have you seen
my phone and keys?

I haven't seen 'em.
Maybe Channel took 'em.

Sorry. Chanel.

What's this?

That's your new phone
until I say otherwise.

As for your car keys,
they're in my purse,

where they will stay for the next
month... you can take the bus...

And I changed the Wi-Fi
password, and if you haven't

figured it out yet, you're grounded.

Ooh. #grounded, huh?

Too bad you can't post with that phone.

Enough, Olivia. I've got
a beeper with your name

all over it if you want to join him.

So dad leaves, and I get
punished for it. Nice.

Watch it, Jordan Baker!

OK, that's my cue.

I know you're having a rough time,

but you are not the only one, OK?

And this behavior has got to stop.

So from now on, your life
consists of going to school,

football practice, and
coming home and that's it.

Have I made myself clear?

Yes, ma'am.

Ha! My house!

♪ Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh ♪

What's wrong, baby?

It was just one game,

and you always bounce back.

Ain't about that.

What, then?

Did you know dad was living
with somebody in Nevada?

A girlfriend...

Raising her son?

What?

He about my age,

and Corey just brought him
out here to live with him.

I wish I could tell you what
your father was thinking.

Yeah, well, whatever he's thinking,
he ain't thinking about us.

At least he consistent about that.

What do you want, Corey?

Look, I know what you both
must be thinking, but...

Now, wait. Hold on. You don't
just walk into my house.

- Please just let me explain.
- Explain what,

how you had a whole
'nother family in Nevada?

Look, Darnell may be
family, but you my son.

- That ain't changed.
- Oh, that's right.

He's not your actual son, he's
just a kid you raised as your son

while your own was left
fatherless just hours away.

Spencer, it wasn't like that.

How long?

How long did you live with him?

7 years.

I always wondered why
you never came home,

why you ain't missed your family,

but now I know.

You didn't miss us

'cause you replaced us.

- Man...
- Corey,

I think it's time for you
to do what you do best.

Leave.

OK.

It's OK.

It's OK.

Sorry about yesterday, babe.

Look, the last thing I want
to do is fight with you, OK?

I love you, and that's why I just...

I can't let nobody just make you live

a don't-ask-don't-tell kinda life.

I know that's not your style.

I know that's not your style.

I know that's not your style.

Thanks for coming.

You didn't make it
sound like a request.

Last time we were in this office
together, you did all the talking.

Today I need you to listen.

I remember, when I was younger,

I thought that my
parents were perfect...

And it was heartbreaking when
I realized that they weren't.

Yeah, I never thought you were perfect.

I need you to listen with your
ears and not with your mouth.

My father made a lot of mistakes...

And so have I.

But you are not one of them... So,

you can push me away
as much as you want,

but I ain't going nowhere.

You're stuck with me.

You're fine, you're fine...

I guess the words really do matter.

Oh, I can't promise you this
is gonna be easy, but...

I promise you I will try harder.

The messed-up part is I know
this is hurting my moms,

no matter how strong she trying to be.

I don't even know what we're
supposed to tell Dillon.

Layla.

Baby, hey, you a'ight?

Sorry. Um, I'm listening.

So, uh, what are you
gonna do about Darnell?

I don't know.

Well, Crenshaw ain't big enough

for both of us, that's for damn sure.

And, look, I really am sorry.

I should have told you about my
pops wanting me to play for him.

I didn't want to hurt you, but
not telling you was worse.

After all of this with Darnell
and Corey, I get it now.

It's fine. We're good, really.

Just like that?

I overreacted.

You know, I get why you
didn't want to tell me.

It just wasn't something you
felt like talking about.

We can talk about it now.

Mmm, I have a better idea.

Doesn't involve talking.

What time you got to be back?

Whenever I want. I'm at
the hotel by myself.

Where's your pops?

Uh, I'm not sure.

Like, Japan or Singapore.
Somewhere in Asia.

But you said you had breakfast
with him the other day.

I lied.

He never came home.

You lied?

What's going on? How
come you didn't tell me?

It just wasn't something I
felt like talking about.

All this talk about my dad
has kinda killed the mood,

so I'm gonna go, but I'll
see you at school tomorrow.

Layla?
