Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:13,207 --> 00:01:15,407
Oh. I'm sorry.
2
00:01:15,476 --> 00:01:17,576
- Next time. Bye.
- Don.
3
00:01:22,283 --> 00:01:24,450
- You shitting me?
- No, national syndication.
4
00:01:24,518 --> 00:01:27,286
14 cities.
All we need is a top ten act.
5
00:01:27,354 --> 00:01:28,865
Now, they want us
by fourth quarter.
6
00:01:28,889 --> 00:01:30,400
Yeah, which means
we're behind schedule.
7
00:01:30,424 --> 00:01:32,235
Well, I could expedite
production, uh,
8
00:01:32,259 --> 00:01:35,527
buy a bigger piece of the show,
if that helps.
9
00:01:35,596 --> 00:01:37,496
- What, 50% isn't enough?
10
00:01:37,565 --> 00:01:40,699
I'll have my share, George,
don't you worry.
11
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:43,235
Hey, what about the act?
I mean, Eddie's cool,
12
00:01:43,304 --> 00:01:44,781
but Eddie Kendricks
without The Temptations
13
00:01:44,805 --> 00:01:46,505
is just Eddie Kendricks.
14
00:01:46,574 --> 00:01:48,618
Yeah, well, Thursday I'm in L.A.
to meet the dance coordinator.
15
00:01:48,642 --> 00:01:51,944
Thursday night, I sit down
with the godfather himself.
16
00:01:52,012 --> 00:01:53,445
Oh, James Brown?
17
00:01:53,514 --> 00:01:55,674
- Now who's shitting who?
- Five, four, three...
18
00:01:56,884 --> 00:01:59,718
All right, Chi-Town, it's that
time we go from fast to slow.
19
00:01:59,787 --> 00:02:01,731
Let's give
a warm Soul Train welcome
20
00:02:01,755 --> 00:02:05,691
to one of my favorite groups,
Chicago's very own...
21
00:02:07,795 --> 00:02:09,728
...the Chi-Lites.
22
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:49,535
What's that, Dad?
23
00:03:58,772 --> 00:04:00,417
What's so important
that you'd call in a favor
24
00:04:00,441 --> 00:04:02,174
to attend our humble rehearsal?
25
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:04,576
I need dancers. Good ones.
26
00:04:05,980 --> 00:04:08,146
Start with Franklin and Kasey.
27
00:04:08,215 --> 00:04:09,514
Simone is a gift.
28
00:04:11,852 --> 00:04:13,218
Almost as good as you were.
29
00:04:15,889 --> 00:04:20,626
Careful. She might actually
believe the dreams you sell.
30
00:04:35,309 --> 00:04:37,075
Hey, baby.
31
00:04:37,144 --> 00:04:40,746
Hey. You did great.
32
00:04:40,814 --> 00:04:42,014
Thank you.
33
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:44,850
Eh, somebody might see.
34
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:46,551
And you jailbait.
35
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:48,787
Well, I won't tell if you won't.
36
00:04:48,856 --> 00:04:51,223
You seem to forget
your daddy carry a gun.
37
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:52,411
He a big old teddy bear.
38
00:04:52,459 --> 00:04:54,393
- Yeah. With a gun.
39
00:04:54,461 --> 00:04:57,095
Don't forget
the audition tomorrow.
40
00:04:57,164 --> 00:04:58,375
I'm-a try to get off work early.
41
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:00,365
Don't try, okay? Be there.
42
00:05:02,603 --> 00:05:04,536
Heavy monsoon weather covered
43
00:05:04,605 --> 00:05:05,715
much of South Vietnam today,
44
00:05:05,739 --> 00:05:07,673
reducing U.S. air strikes
45
00:05:07,741 --> 00:05:09,508
- over the south...
46
00:05:09,576 --> 00:05:11,576
How many cities?
47
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:13,812
- 14.
- 14!
48
00:05:13,881 --> 00:05:15,659
- Baby!
- 14 cities, national syndication.
49
00:05:15,683 --> 00:05:18,316
- Yes!
- We did it, baby.
50
00:05:18,385 --> 00:05:21,153
All we need is a top ten act
to make it official.
51
00:05:21,221 --> 00:05:24,089
And George needs his share
of the seed money by Monday.
52
00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:25,757
But now, look, Don,
53
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:28,238
look, we both agreed that the
emergency fund was off-limits.
54
00:05:28,262 --> 00:05:30,874
-Baby, baby, look.
This, this is the dream, right?
-N-No...
55
00:05:30,898 --> 00:05:32,542
This is it. We did it, baby.
This is the dream.
56
00:05:32,566 --> 00:05:34,866
But Don, we're barely
making ends meet now.
57
00:05:34,935 --> 00:05:36,101
Mmm.
58
00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:38,303
This is the worst-kept secret
of all time.
59
00:05:38,372 --> 00:05:40,116
- Go away, Kendall.
- I'd love to,
60
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:41,573
but Mom wants you home.
61
00:05:41,642 --> 00:05:44,176
Your turn to cook.
62
00:05:44,244 --> 00:05:47,112
- Call me later.
- Yeah.
63
00:05:47,181 --> 00:05:50,682
Aww, come here, nephew.
64
00:05:50,751 --> 00:05:52,851
I will buy you a mansion.
65
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,589
All right? I'll buy you a
mansion in every single state.
66
00:05:57,658 --> 00:06:00,726
All right.
67
00:06:00,794 --> 00:06:02,672
I won't touch
the emergency fund.
68
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:04,463
...Now you talking.
69
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:06,398
Mwah.
70
00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:09,145
-Mm.
-All right, look now,
w-where are the boys?
71
00:06:09,169 --> 00:06:12,771
Well, you know, they at Mama's.
72
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:18,577
- Mm-hmm. Mm.
- Mm-hmm.
73
00:06:18,645 --> 00:06:20,812
Can you get me that
Stevenson file, please?
74
00:06:20,881 --> 00:06:25,016
Ah. I assume your visit
is because you got your notice
75
00:06:25,085 --> 00:06:26,651
from the draft?
76
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,020
My physical is Friday.
I report in two months.
77
00:06:29,089 --> 00:06:31,556
Kendall, I reached out
to everybody I know,
78
00:06:31,625 --> 00:06:33,925
and the best I could do
was $15,000.
79
00:06:33,994 --> 00:06:37,062
For a medical exemption?
I don't have that kind of money.
80
00:06:37,131 --> 00:06:39,865
Maybe it's time
to tell your parents.
81
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:42,100
I can't do that.
82
00:06:43,937 --> 00:06:46,838
I don't want to die, Ms. Jacobs.
83
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:50,408
Kendall, you're not gonna die.
84
00:06:50,477 --> 00:06:54,246
Look, I have a friend who helps
kids like you escape to Canada.
85
00:06:54,314 --> 00:06:57,883
I could make the call.
86
00:06:57,951 --> 00:07:02,053
- My dad is in Vietnam right now.
87
00:07:02,122 --> 00:07:05,757
I won't ruin his name
by running away.
88
00:07:05,826 --> 00:07:08,059
There is another option.
89
00:07:08,128 --> 00:07:10,529
If you were head of a household,
you'd be exempt.
90
00:07:10,597 --> 00:07:12,030
Kendall, you have a son.
91
00:07:12,099 --> 00:07:15,300
If you and Victoria were
married, all this goes away.
92
00:07:23,844 --> 00:07:25,655
For the love of God, Don,
light a candle.
93
00:07:25,679 --> 00:07:27,257
Honey, you can walk out
if you want.
94
00:07:27,281 --> 00:07:28,847
Well, we only have one bathroom.
95
00:07:28,916 --> 00:07:31,383
- So what time's your flight?
- 12:30.
96
00:07:31,451 --> 00:07:33,685
- Mm.
- Still time to make it.
97
00:07:33,754 --> 00:07:36,021
Uh, now there's
a romantic offer.
98
00:07:36,089 --> 00:07:38,249
No, come on, Red.
We can make a weekend of it.
99
00:07:38,292 --> 00:07:40,103
Well, you know, someone's got
to hold down the fort
100
00:07:40,127 --> 00:07:42,594
while you go out
and take over the world.
101
00:07:42,663 --> 00:07:44,763
- I'm really proud of you.
102
00:07:44,832 --> 00:07:46,952
Okay, geez, Don, seriously.
That's a problem.
103
00:07:48,035 --> 00:07:49,334
Well, you walked into it.
104
00:07:49,403 --> 00:07:51,002
And I'm walking out of it.
105
00:07:56,176 --> 00:07:57,554
So, who you bringing
to the cookout?
106
00:07:57,578 --> 00:07:59,911
The missus or the mistress?
107
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:03,081
Heads it's Nancy, tails Laura.
108
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:04,683
Ha. Shit. It's the wife.
109
00:08:08,222 --> 00:08:10,555
- Looks like we got one.
110
00:08:18,298 --> 00:08:21,132
- All right, let's get him.
- Yeah.
111
00:08:26,373 --> 00:08:28,173
Afternoon, Officer.
112
00:08:28,242 --> 00:08:29,641
Everything okay?
113
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:32,711
Ran a stop sign, son.
Need your license.
114
00:08:34,214 --> 00:08:36,214
Thought I stopped.
115
00:08:36,283 --> 00:08:39,050
Still getting my bearings.
116
00:08:39,119 --> 00:08:41,920
- Only been here a few hours.
- Hands on the wheel.
117
00:08:43,223 --> 00:08:46,925
So you're a cop, Don?
118
00:08:46,994 --> 00:08:48,293
Was.
119
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:50,662
Two years, Chicago PD.
120
00:08:50,731 --> 00:08:52,041
Real cop would know
it's illegal to try
121
00:08:52,065 --> 00:08:53,565
to influence an officer, Don.
122
00:08:53,634 --> 00:08:58,036
- You a basketball player?
- I produce a dance show, for TV.
123
00:08:58,105 --> 00:09:01,273
Like Bandstand.
So you sing, Don?
124
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,708
I'm just the host.
125
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:05,310
Tell you what.
126
00:09:05,379 --> 00:09:10,949
Heads, I run your black ass in
for trying to bribe an officer.
127
00:09:11,018 --> 00:09:15,153
Tails, you sing for me.
128
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:16,554
It's tails.
129
00:09:16,623 --> 00:09:21,192
Hey, Marty!
He's gonna sing for us.
130
00:09:21,261 --> 00:09:23,995
How about a little,
um, Al Green?
131
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:28,733
You boys like Al Green,
don't you, Don?
132
00:09:28,802 --> 00:09:31,336
I'm not gonna
ask you again, Don.
133
00:09:31,405 --> 00:09:32,704
Sing for me.
134
00:09:40,047 --> 00:09:43,248
2-11 in progress, multiple
shots. We're on our way.
135
00:09:43,317 --> 00:09:45,850
Looks like it's your lucky day,
136
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:49,321
Officer Cornelius.
137
00:10:05,789 --> 00:10:09,257
12, seven, 22, come forward.
138
00:10:09,326 --> 00:10:11,326
Keep going. Hey.
139
00:10:11,395 --> 00:10:14,763
Yes. There we go.
140
00:10:14,831 --> 00:10:17,599
Oh, I didn't know
you were coming.
141
00:10:17,668 --> 00:10:18,945
- Is this the first group?
- Third.
142
00:10:18,969 --> 00:10:20,580
Did we book
the construction crew?
143
00:10:20,604 --> 00:10:22,415
- Scheduled to start Monday.
- Director interviews?
144
00:10:22,439 --> 00:10:25,373
First thing in the morning.
Mr. Cornelius, number...
145
00:10:25,442 --> 00:10:26,875
Mr. Cornelius.
146
00:10:26,943 --> 00:10:29,044
...All right, listen up.
147
00:10:29,112 --> 00:10:31,746
Tessa and I appreciate
your time,
148
00:10:31,815 --> 00:10:34,816
but that'll be all for today.
Thank you.
149
00:10:34,885 --> 00:10:36,151
What they talking about? I...
150
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:39,365
- going over every...
- I need you to do better.
151
00:10:39,389 --> 00:10:42,190
- I don't know what that means.
- It means I didn't hire you
152
00:10:42,259 --> 00:10:44,137
to get dancers that I can get
at a house party.
153
00:10:44,161 --> 00:10:45,905
You hired me because
I am good at what I do.
154
00:10:45,929 --> 00:10:47,962
No, I hired you
because you are cheap.
155
00:10:48,031 --> 00:10:50,965
Mr. Cornelius,
these kids are great.
156
00:10:51,034 --> 00:10:52,779
They're nailing
all the latest steps.
157
00:10:52,803 --> 00:10:54,069
Maybe you don't understand.
158
00:10:54,137 --> 00:10:55,648
I don't need dancers
nailing the latest moves.
159
00:10:55,672 --> 00:10:58,573
I need stars creating
the next dance craze. Do better,
160
00:10:58,642 --> 00:11:00,875
or I'll find someone who will.
161
00:11:03,146 --> 00:11:06,081
Look, there he is, right there.
162
00:11:09,853 --> 00:11:11,953
Come on, man. Come on.
163
00:11:55,132 --> 00:11:57,399
It's gonna be
a stone gas, honey.
164
00:12:14,451 --> 00:12:16,284
Okay, okay, that's enough.
165
00:12:16,353 --> 00:12:18,787
Next.
166
00:12:18,855 --> 00:12:21,055
That's you, let's go.
167
00:12:24,261 --> 00:12:26,005
Come on, come on,
come on, who's next?
168
00:12:26,029 --> 00:12:29,898
Uh, hi, I'm Kendall.
My sister, Simone.
169
00:12:29,966 --> 00:12:32,767
That's JT, and we are Encore.
170
00:12:37,974 --> 00:12:41,509
One, two, three, four.
171
00:14:48,705 --> 00:14:50,104
Gig's yours if you want it.
172
00:14:50,173 --> 00:14:52,574
- Yeah.
- Yes, yes, we want it.
173
00:14:52,642 --> 00:14:55,176
Pays $150 a set, weekend's $200.
174
00:14:55,245 --> 00:14:56,989
Break a thousand heads,
you get a dollar a head.
175
00:14:57,013 --> 00:15:00,415
-How many songs you got?
-Uh, six originals,
but we can cover any...
176
00:15:00,483 --> 00:15:01,861
- How many you need?
- More than you got.
177
00:15:01,885 --> 00:15:05,086
Boss, you got to hear
these cats, House Band.
178
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:06,754
How old are you?
179
00:15:06,823 --> 00:15:08,222
18.
180
00:15:08,291 --> 00:15:10,858
So if I check your ID,
it'll tell me the same lie?
181
00:15:10,927 --> 00:15:13,161
I'll be 17 in a few months.
182
00:15:13,229 --> 00:15:15,797
You fly, but you ain't worth
my liquor license.
183
00:15:15,865 --> 00:15:18,066
Get rid of 'em.
184
00:15:18,134 --> 00:15:19,267
Boss, I just hired 'em.
185
00:15:19,336 --> 00:15:20,735
And I just fired 'em.
186
00:15:23,607 --> 00:15:26,040
Look, I know we didn't get
the gig, but he liked us.
187
00:15:26,109 --> 00:15:27,308
That means something.
188
00:15:27,377 --> 00:15:29,322
Ain't no small
moral victories, Simone.
189
00:15:29,346 --> 00:15:31,613
We're close.
All we need is a break.
190
00:15:31,681 --> 00:15:33,448
I'm running out of time.
191
00:15:33,516 --> 00:15:36,150
Well, maybe we're
doing this wrong.
192
00:15:36,219 --> 00:15:38,386
Our dream is to sing
and become famous.
193
00:15:38,455 --> 00:15:41,556
Well, what if we
were famous first?
194
00:15:41,625 --> 00:15:45,360
- What's a Soul Train?
- It's a dance show.
195
00:15:45,428 --> 00:15:46,894
So Cindy has a cousin in Chicago
196
00:15:46,963 --> 00:15:49,697
and she says the dancers there
are stars around town.
197
00:15:49,766 --> 00:15:52,767
And that's just the local show.
This is national.
198
00:15:52,836 --> 00:15:54,747
Now, I don't know
if we can get on,
199
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,971
but maybe we can use it
to build our name.
200
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,641
- But do they pay?
- I don't think so.
201
00:15:59,709 --> 00:16:01,909
Bussing tables by day,
chasing dreams at night.
202
00:16:01,978 --> 00:16:03,378
It's not enough.
203
00:16:03,446 --> 00:16:05,880
Well, this ain't just about you.
204
00:16:05,949 --> 00:16:07,348
All right, either we a group,
205
00:16:07,417 --> 00:16:08,761
- or we not.
- Kendall, stop.
206
00:16:08,785 --> 00:16:11,185
Nah, 'cause see, he barely
coming to practice now.
207
00:16:11,254 --> 00:16:13,621
Something always more important.
208
00:16:13,690 --> 00:16:15,801
Either Encore means something
to you, or it don't.
209
00:16:15,825 --> 00:16:16,958
Ain't no in-between.
210
00:16:17,027 --> 00:16:18,604
Who died and made you
Berry Gordy?
211
00:16:18,628 --> 00:16:20,806
- Your junkie-ass mama, bitch.
- Oh, my God, Kendall.
212
00:16:20,830 --> 00:16:22,908
No, I say we cut our losses.
All right, he ain't got
213
00:16:22,932 --> 00:16:25,177
- what it take to make it anyway.
- Would you shut up?
214
00:16:25,201 --> 00:16:27,769
E-Everybody just shut up.
Okay, we are in this together.
215
00:16:27,837 --> 00:16:32,373
We started this group together,
and we're really good.
216
00:16:32,442 --> 00:16:34,142
That doesn't just happen.
217
00:16:34,210 --> 00:16:37,912
Now, we all want the same thing.
We all want this to work, right?
218
00:16:37,981 --> 00:16:39,280
Right.
219
00:16:41,885 --> 00:16:45,186
You want this too, right, baby?
220
00:16:45,255 --> 00:16:47,955
Yeah, I do.
221
00:16:48,024 --> 00:16:50,925
But I'm not about to be dancing
on no teenybop TV show.
222
00:16:50,994 --> 00:16:54,762
I don't have time. And some
of us work for a living.
223
00:16:57,167 --> 00:16:58,711
Why would you talk
about his mama?
224
00:16:58,735 --> 00:17:02,837
You better than this, Simone.
He needs to go.
225
00:17:05,458 --> 00:17:06,691
...Don Cornelius
226
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,227
to see James Brown.
227
00:17:09,295 --> 00:17:11,763
I was told to ask
for Charles Bobbitt.
228
00:17:16,853 --> 00:17:20,221
So you're the dance show guy.
Thought you'd be taller.
229
00:17:20,290 --> 00:17:21,622
And you're the manager.
230
00:17:21,691 --> 00:17:22,702
Thought you'd be blacker.
231
00:17:22,726 --> 00:17:25,159
...I get no complaints.
232
00:17:25,228 --> 00:17:26,906
Well, come to Chicago
and that'll change.
233
00:17:26,930 --> 00:17:28,496
James over here?
234
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:34,168
...James.
235
00:17:42,612 --> 00:17:46,514
Quote is 25 grand.
Two songs, half up front.
236
00:17:46,583 --> 00:17:49,283
That's not how it works.
Mr. Bobbitt, it's TV.
237
00:17:49,352 --> 00:17:50,730
We pay a set fee
in exchange for exposure.
238
00:17:50,754 --> 00:17:53,154
It's the same deal
as American Bandstand.
239
00:17:53,223 --> 00:17:54,989
You ain't American Bandstand.
240
00:17:55,058 --> 00:17:57,892
Come back when you
learn the game.
241
00:17:57,961 --> 00:18:00,962
Mr. Bobbitt.
242
00:18:01,030 --> 00:18:02,530
I was promised a sit-down
243
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:07,168
with James Brown and that
is exactly what I expect.
244
00:18:07,237 --> 00:18:10,204
What? You boys supposed
to scare me?
245
00:18:10,273 --> 00:18:11,584
You look like you're
new at this,
246
00:18:11,608 --> 00:18:13,486
so let me give you a piece
of advice. You walk away.
247
00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:15,488
- Walk away now.
- All right, okay, fellas.
248
00:18:15,512 --> 00:18:17,223
Come on, not tonight.
Not in my club.
249
00:18:17,247 --> 00:18:19,191
Charlie, come on now,
call off the dogs.
250
00:18:19,215 --> 00:18:20,960
Brothers, next round's
on the house, huh?
251
00:18:20,984 --> 00:18:24,986
See? That's how you do business.
252
00:18:25,054 --> 00:18:27,021
Come on, guys.
253
00:18:27,090 --> 00:18:29,791
Uh-uh, uh-uh. So you just gonna
254
00:18:29,859 --> 00:18:32,293
take on the whole damn crew?
15 brothers, guns and all?
255
00:18:32,362 --> 00:18:34,495
- If I have to.
- Look at you, man.
256
00:18:34,564 --> 00:18:36,564
All right, look.
No crew. No piece.
257
00:18:36,633 --> 00:18:38,911
Brother, half the people in here
can make you disappear
258
00:18:38,935 --> 00:18:40,334
and the cops wouldn't blink.
259
00:18:40,403 --> 00:18:42,370
And you don't give a damn?
260
00:18:43,807 --> 00:18:45,606
Where'd you serve?
261
00:18:45,675 --> 00:18:48,509
Korea. Army. 751st.
262
00:18:48,578 --> 00:18:52,547
Korea. Navy. USS Missouri.
Gerald Aims.
263
00:18:54,484 --> 00:18:57,018
- Don Cornelius.
- All right, Don.
264
00:18:57,086 --> 00:19:01,155
Let me buy you a drink. Keep you
from getting your ass killed.
265
00:19:01,224 --> 00:19:02,657
You're late.
266
00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:05,526
Sorry, Ma Mable.
I'll close tonight.
267
00:19:05,595 --> 00:19:07,022
You bet your sweet backside
you will.
268
00:19:07,046 --> 00:19:08,412
I can close up
269
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:11,666
Boy, you can't even handle
the hours I'm giving you.
270
00:19:11,734 --> 00:19:14,068
I can now. I need this.
271
00:19:14,137 --> 00:19:16,081
What you need to do
is bus them tables.
272
00:19:16,105 --> 00:19:17,872
And we'll talk hours later.
273
00:19:17,941 --> 00:19:20,174
So let me get this straight.
274
00:19:20,243 --> 00:19:22,276
You losing
the human perm over there
275
00:19:22,345 --> 00:19:23,744
means you lose your Music Train?
276
00:19:23,813 --> 00:19:25,224
- Soul Train.
- Whatever.
277
00:19:25,248 --> 00:19:28,082
- Soul Train.
- All right, Soul Train.
278
00:19:28,151 --> 00:19:32,119
He's my top ten act.
I lose him, I lose syndication.
279
00:19:32,188 --> 00:19:33,454
Whole lot of money.
280
00:19:34,557 --> 00:19:37,959
Bullshit.
281
00:19:38,027 --> 00:19:39,160
Look.
282
00:19:40,897 --> 00:19:43,965
That glass...
283
00:19:44,033 --> 00:19:46,133
is it half empty or half drunk?
284
00:19:46,202 --> 00:19:48,269
You mean half full?
285
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,472
Ah!
286
00:19:51,541 --> 00:19:54,575
How about this one?
Half drunk or half full?
287
00:19:54,644 --> 00:19:58,012
Half empty.
288
00:20:00,617 --> 00:20:01,949
Ah! Oh, it's neither.
289
00:20:02,018 --> 00:20:04,652
...Or it's both. Get it?
290
00:20:04,721 --> 00:20:06,120
See, it don't matter
291
00:20:06,189 --> 00:20:09,757
'cause it's all
about perspective.
292
00:20:09,826 --> 00:20:14,929
Now see, you think Soul Man
is all you've got.
293
00:20:14,998 --> 00:20:17,565
But if he's a top-ten act,
294
00:20:17,634 --> 00:20:21,702
then I say, isn't there nine
other top-ten acts?
295
00:20:21,771 --> 00:20:23,671
Perspective.
296
00:20:26,242 --> 00:20:28,576
Oh! It's like
that white man's mantra,
297
00:20:28,645 --> 00:20:31,145
when they...
...refused to let women vote,
298
00:20:31,214 --> 00:20:32,780
they shoved Jim Crow law on us,
299
00:20:32,849 --> 00:20:35,127
hell, they gave the Indians
smallpox to take their land...
300
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:36,784
Put yourself first.
301
00:20:36,853 --> 00:20:38,386
Man-Is-First Destiny, baby.
302
00:20:38,454 --> 00:20:40,466
-White folks did it.
We can do it, too.
-Manifest.
303
00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:42,189
- What?
- The belief that the U.S.
304
00:20:42,258 --> 00:20:44,859
was ordained by God
to rule North America.
305
00:20:44,928 --> 00:20:46,594
It's called Manifest Destiny,
306
00:20:46,663 --> 00:20:48,574
- not Man-Is-First Destiny.
- Oh, hell.
307
00:20:48,598 --> 00:20:50,509
First, fest, whatever... look,
I ain't that good with words,
308
00:20:50,533 --> 00:20:51,777
but I know
what I'm talking about.
309
00:20:51,801 --> 00:20:52,967
And I'm gonna help you out.
310
00:20:53,036 --> 00:20:55,937
Now, will Gladys Knight
work for you?
311
00:20:56,005 --> 00:20:57,605
You know Gladys Knight?
312
00:20:57,674 --> 00:20:59,418
Just booked 'em
in the club last year.
313
00:20:59,442 --> 00:21:02,109
And... they got a show tomorrow
in Gary.
314
00:21:02,178 --> 00:21:05,012
And for a small finder's fee,
I'll set ya up.
315
00:21:06,282 --> 00:21:07,815
- No.
- What?
316
00:21:07,884 --> 00:21:11,018
No. If word gets out
that I'm paying for acts...
317
00:21:11,087 --> 00:21:13,365
-Oh...
-Soul Train'll never be legit.
Can't do it.
318
00:21:13,389 --> 00:21:15,690
"Soul Train'll never be legit."
319
00:21:15,758 --> 00:21:17,124
I'm gonna help you anyway.
320
00:21:17,193 --> 00:21:19,860
- Why?
- You know what, cat? I like you.
321
00:21:19,929 --> 00:21:21,362
Yeah, we see the world the same.
322
00:21:21,431 --> 00:21:25,333
Besides, if you gonna have
top talent rolling in
323
00:21:25,401 --> 00:21:27,212
on a weekly basis,
I'll be able to book 'em here.
324
00:21:27,236 --> 00:21:30,404
When I want, on discount.
325
00:21:42,852 --> 00:21:44,585
Perspective.
326
00:21:48,658 --> 00:21:50,091
Let's get drunk.
327
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:03,821
Come on, man.
328
00:22:03,890 --> 00:22:06,424
Man, you sure like to party.
329
00:22:06,492 --> 00:22:08,570
- And we just gettin' started.
- Hey, what time is it?
330
00:22:08,594 --> 00:22:11,595
Time for you to get your ass up
if you gonna make that plane.
331
00:22:11,664 --> 00:22:13,064
Oh, shit.
332
00:22:13,132 --> 00:22:16,100
Yeah, can I use your phone?
333
00:22:23,843 --> 00:22:26,610
- You miss me yet?
- Of course. We all do.
334
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:29,447
But, uh, sounds like you're
having a great time out there.
335
00:22:29,515 --> 00:22:31,527
James Brown is out,
but I'm meeting Gladys Knight
336
00:22:31,551 --> 00:22:34,051
in Gary at 8:00,
and I want the prettiest woman
337
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:36,080
in Brownsville
by my side when I do.
338
00:22:36,122 --> 00:22:37,521
Wait, Gladys Knight?!
339
00:22:37,590 --> 00:22:39,334
- Gladys Knight, baby.
- Baby, I would love to,
340
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:41,459
but Mama's gone
and we don't have a sitter.
341
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:42,871
- And what about Millie?
- Well, you know what,
342
00:22:42,895 --> 00:22:45,996
she's working, but, um,
let me try Joyce, okay?
343
00:22:46,065 --> 00:22:47,576
Look, my plane lands at 6:00,
and I'm gonna
344
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,900
head there
straight from the airport.
345
00:22:49,969 --> 00:22:52,047
I'll be the happiest brother
Ifthis side of Africa.
346
00:22:52,071 --> 00:22:53,704
Negro, you done lost your mind.
347
00:22:53,773 --> 00:22:56,073
Well, it's at the Showcase
Supper Club at 8:00.
348
00:22:56,142 --> 00:22:57,575
Don't leave me hanging.
349
00:22:59,112 --> 00:23:00,945
Gladys Knight!
350
00:23:23,803 --> 00:23:25,781
-You're late.
-Yeah, well,
you don't seem lonely.
351
00:23:25,805 --> 00:23:27,649
All right,
first rule of business is,
352
00:23:27,673 --> 00:23:31,308
know what your client wants
and give it to him.
353
00:23:31,377 --> 00:23:33,444
And what does she want?
354
00:23:36,249 --> 00:23:37,548
You answer that...
355
00:23:37,617 --> 00:23:40,017
...you'll be bigger
than all of us.
356
00:24:11,184 --> 00:24:14,852
Guys, this is
Don Cornelius and George Johnson
357
00:24:14,921 --> 00:24:16,220
of Johnson Hair Care fame.
358
00:24:16,289 --> 00:24:18,055
Love that afro sheen shit, man.
359
00:24:18,124 --> 00:24:20,057
Thanks a lot, man.
360
00:24:20,126 --> 00:24:22,092
And who are these lovely ladies?
361
00:24:22,161 --> 00:24:25,062
These are...
some friends of ours.
362
00:24:25,131 --> 00:24:26,730
Mm-hmm.
363
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:29,633
Ladies, would you like
to join us for a drink?
364
00:24:29,702 --> 00:24:30,702
Yes.
365
00:24:30,770 --> 00:24:33,103
George, why don't you
join us, too.
366
00:24:33,172 --> 00:24:34,939
Of course.
367
00:24:43,583 --> 00:24:45,394
I'm surprised the guys
don't want to join.
368
00:24:45,418 --> 00:24:47,785
Oh, well, we've
already made our decision.
369
00:24:47,854 --> 00:24:50,332
-The answer's no.
-You haven't even
heard me out yet.
370
00:24:50,356 --> 00:24:52,289
You're a salesman,
Mr. Cornelius.
371
00:24:52,358 --> 00:24:54,269
I don't like salesmen,
and I don't like
372
00:24:54,293 --> 00:24:55,838
- being sloppy seconds.
- Well,
373
00:24:55,862 --> 00:24:58,729
better being sloppy seconds
than funky fourths.
374
00:24:58,798 --> 00:25:00,676
I told Gerald
I'd take the meeting.
375
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:03,367
I took the meeting.
This isn't gonna work.
376
00:25:03,436 --> 00:25:05,236
Miss Knight, please.
377
00:25:05,304 --> 00:25:06,871
Look around.
378
00:25:06,939 --> 00:25:08,706
Tell me what you see.
379
00:25:08,774 --> 00:25:12,009
I don't have time to play games,
Mr. Cornelius. I'm tired.
380
00:25:12,078 --> 00:25:14,144
I've had six jobs in five years.
381
00:25:14,213 --> 00:25:16,747
I got a wife and two kids,
and if I can't convince you
382
00:25:16,816 --> 00:25:18,415
to work with me, then I lose...
383
00:25:18,484 --> 00:25:19,750
everything.
384
00:25:19,819 --> 00:25:22,987
So I assure you,
this is no game.
385
00:25:23,055 --> 00:25:25,022
Tell me what you see.
386
00:25:26,092 --> 00:25:28,993
I see men and women.
387
00:25:29,061 --> 00:25:30,527
Black and beautiful.
388
00:25:30,596 --> 00:25:33,597
Dressed to the nines and...
389
00:25:33,666 --> 00:25:35,699
eating, drinking,
enjoying themselves.
390
00:25:35,768 --> 00:25:37,902
- I see happiness.
- Hmm.
391
00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:40,337
I see freedom.
392
00:25:40,406 --> 00:25:42,573
I see economic power.
393
00:25:42,642 --> 00:25:45,509
Ownership, Miss Knight.
394
00:25:45,578 --> 00:25:47,389
That is the way
that we can truly overcome...
395
00:25:47,413 --> 00:25:48,913
By keeping the power with us.
396
00:25:48,981 --> 00:25:50,993
And we got some of the most
talented singers and dancers
397
00:25:51,017 --> 00:25:53,684
in the world, but any time
we want to showcase our talents,
398
00:25:53,753 --> 00:25:55,697
we either got to go
to Podunk, Tennessee,
399
00:25:55,721 --> 00:25:58,355
- or American Bandstand.
- Oh, now, Flip Wilson
400
00:25:58,424 --> 00:26:01,169
-ain't so bad.
-Yeah, no, no,
I love Flip, I love Flip.
401
00:26:01,193 --> 00:26:03,027
But who owns his show?
402
00:26:03,095 --> 00:26:04,795
And who owns him?
403
00:26:04,864 --> 00:26:07,731
'Cause now I'm talking about
a national television show
404
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,868
written, produced
and owned by black folks.
405
00:26:10,937 --> 00:26:13,871
I'm talking about bringing us,
not whitewashed, not toned down,
406
00:26:13,940 --> 00:26:17,308
but us into millions of homes,
like it or not.
407
00:26:17,376 --> 00:26:20,144
Black folks the way black folks
was meant to be seen:
408
00:26:20,212 --> 00:26:21,578
strong, powerful and beautiful.
409
00:26:21,647 --> 00:26:24,715
There's never been
another show like it.
410
00:26:24,784 --> 00:26:26,617
And it won't just be mine,
411
00:26:26,686 --> 00:26:28,852
it'll be all of ours.
412
00:26:29,956 --> 00:26:32,990
But I can't do it alone.
413
00:26:34,827 --> 00:26:37,995
If my daddy was here,
he'd say...
414
00:26:38,064 --> 00:26:40,831
that you could sell water
to a whale.
415
00:26:43,235 --> 00:26:45,436
But... I choose the songs,
416
00:26:45,504 --> 00:26:47,950
-and nothing
we've already recorded.
-No, no, no, absolutely.
417
00:26:47,974 --> 00:26:50,007
You won't...
you won't regret it.
418
00:26:50,076 --> 00:26:51,842
We'll see about that.
419
00:26:51,911 --> 00:26:53,922
Well, damn, let's have
a drink to celebrate.
420
00:26:53,946 --> 00:26:57,081
Uh, I'll pass.
I'm sure the boys will join you.
421
00:26:57,149 --> 00:26:58,415
They're nonstop.
422
00:26:58,484 --> 00:27:00,217
I can never thank you enough.
423
00:27:00,286 --> 00:27:03,420
Just... do right by our people.
424
00:27:03,489 --> 00:27:05,756
Make the show
everything you promised,
425
00:27:05,825 --> 00:27:09,026
and that'll be thanks enough.
426
00:27:10,463 --> 00:27:12,863
Nice to meet you, Mr. Cornelius.
427
00:27:15,835 --> 00:27:17,935
I hate him!
428
00:27:18,004 --> 00:27:19,748
- Sweetheart, that you?
- I hate his afro,
429
00:27:19,772 --> 00:27:21,805
I hate his voice,
I hate his smell,
430
00:27:21,874 --> 00:27:24,274
that-that-that "I'm on the prowl
for anything in a skirt,"
431
00:27:24,343 --> 00:27:25,576
too-strong cologne smell.
432
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:27,122
I've only known him
for two months,
433
00:27:27,146 --> 00:27:29,057
and I can honestly say
that I hate the man.
434
00:27:29,081 --> 00:27:31,648
I set meetings...
He doesn't even show up.
435
00:27:31,717 --> 00:27:33,250
I'm not his secretary.
436
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:36,053
I am a classically
trained dancer.
437
00:27:36,122 --> 00:27:37,488
I danced at Stuttgart.
438
00:27:37,556 --> 00:27:40,591
I... was a prodigy of Cranko.
439
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:42,526
This man, he is disrespectful,
440
00:27:42,595 --> 00:27:44,595
he is angry...
441
00:27:45,531 --> 00:27:47,831
I think I'm gonna quit.
442
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:50,167
- You should definitely quit.
- You're supposed
443
00:27:50,236 --> 00:27:52,436
to talk me out of it.
444
00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:54,538
There's no way
I'm letting you quit.
445
00:27:54,607 --> 00:27:56,140
I hate you.
446
00:27:58,711 --> 00:28:01,512
- Whew!
- Whew!
447
00:28:01,580 --> 00:28:03,525
Hey, I say we keep
this party going.
448
00:28:03,549 --> 00:28:04,782
I know a club off Gilchrest
449
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:06,595
where we can have
a real good time.
450
00:28:06,619 --> 00:28:08,652
- Let's go.
- All right, all right.
451
00:28:08,721 --> 00:28:10,487
I think I am gonna...
452
00:28:10,556 --> 00:28:13,957
call it a night, Don.
453
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:16,627
But you should go.
454
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:18,362
Celebrate.
455
00:28:20,466 --> 00:28:22,132
I am...
456
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:24,868
a glorified gofer.
457
00:28:26,572 --> 00:28:29,339
It has nothing to do
with real dancing.
458
00:28:29,408 --> 00:28:31,909
What do you want to do?
459
00:28:31,977 --> 00:28:34,044
I don't know.
460
00:28:34,113 --> 00:28:35,846
Okay. Hey.
461
00:28:36,749 --> 00:28:38,949
Just know... okay?...
462
00:28:39,018 --> 00:28:41,618
Whatever it is
that you want to do,
463
00:28:41,687 --> 00:28:43,020
we'll do that.
464
00:28:43,089 --> 00:28:45,189
All right?
You want to work Soul Train,
465
00:28:45,257 --> 00:28:47,291
- let's do Soul Train.
- Mm.
466
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:49,093
Want to open up your own studio?
467
00:28:49,161 --> 00:28:51,361
I'm down like
four flat tires, okay?
468
00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:53,697
If you want
to go back to Frankfurt,
469
00:28:53,766 --> 00:28:56,533
I'll start
learning German again.
470
00:28:56,602 --> 00:28:58,735
Sag mir nur was du willst.
471
00:28:58,804 --> 00:29:00,838
You are so silly.
472
00:29:00,906 --> 00:29:03,440
Yeah. That's what my mama said.
473
00:29:03,509 --> 00:29:05,275
But listen...
474
00:29:05,344 --> 00:29:07,344
I will do whatever...
475
00:29:07,413 --> 00:29:09,847
as long as I can do it with you.
476
00:29:10,883 --> 00:29:13,183
- I really hate you.
- Mm-hmm.
477
00:29:15,287 --> 00:29:18,255
Well, I'll go if you go.
478
00:29:38,043 --> 00:29:40,544
As much as I'd like to...
479
00:29:40,613 --> 00:29:42,613
I'm good.
480
00:31:30,489 --> 00:31:31,755
Jeffrey.
481
00:31:31,824 --> 00:31:33,624
Don't you dare waste
482
00:31:33,692 --> 00:31:36,760
all that talent
on bussing tables.
483
00:31:36,829 --> 00:31:40,097
You can close tonight
if you want to.
484
00:31:40,165 --> 00:31:42,499
It ain't many hours, uh,
but it's all I got.
485
00:31:42,568 --> 00:31:45,902
Now get back
to bussing them tables.
486
00:31:49,141 --> 00:31:51,174
I know you're in there, Andrea.
487
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:53,163
I need my money, okay?
All of it.
488
00:31:54,747 --> 00:31:56,713
Don't make me call
the cops, Andrea.
489
00:31:56,782 --> 00:31:58,448
Mr-Mr. Willard, what you doing?
490
00:31:58,517 --> 00:32:00,617
- I need the rent, JT.
- We paid the rent.
491
00:32:00,686 --> 00:32:02,686
No. Check bounced, again.
492
00:32:02,755 --> 00:32:07,991
40 days behind this time, man,
and she changed the locks.
493
00:32:09,061 --> 00:32:11,028
Look, I been good to y'all.
494
00:32:11,096 --> 00:32:13,730
But I can't afford to not get
my money, son.
495
00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:15,232
It's okay. I'm coming.
496
00:32:17,236 --> 00:32:21,004
Got $48. Get you the rest
by the end of the month.
497
00:32:21,073 --> 00:32:23,974
It's the last time, you hear?
498
00:32:24,043 --> 00:32:25,920
She won't keep
making a fool out of me.
499
00:32:25,944 --> 00:32:29,680
Get me a key.
500
00:32:30,849 --> 00:32:33,216
Hey, hey, hey.
501
00:32:33,285 --> 00:32:35,485
Hey, it's okay, it's okay,
it's okay.
502
00:32:35,554 --> 00:32:37,754
It's okay. It's okay.
503
00:32:37,823 --> 00:32:40,290
All right, all right. Shh.
504
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:53,103
Damn.
505
00:32:56,809 --> 00:32:58,942
Mama, I got you.
506
00:33:00,546 --> 00:33:02,479
Thanks, baby.
507
00:33:10,889 --> 00:33:14,324
Hell no. Uh-uh. No.
508
00:33:14,393 --> 00:33:15,870
Almost got my ass busted
last time.
509
00:33:15,894 --> 00:33:17,928
Just 15 minutes. Enjoy that.
510
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:20,030
Fifteen.
511
00:33:26,372 --> 00:33:28,653
Mama, you think you can make it
to one of our shows?
512
00:33:28,707 --> 00:33:30,485
I got too much work to do
to be running around somewhere
513
00:33:30,509 --> 00:33:32,669
trying to hear some music
I know nothing about.
514
00:33:34,747 --> 00:33:36,347
- Hello.
- Thank you.
515
00:33:36,415 --> 00:33:39,216
May I speak to the wife of
the luckiest man in the world?
516
00:33:39,284 --> 00:33:40,951
Joe. I didn't think
you were gonna call.
517
00:33:41,019 --> 00:33:42,430
It's so close
to you coming home.
518
00:33:42,454 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, I haven't missed
a call in 14 months.
519
00:33:44,857 --> 00:33:46,757
I'll never miss a call.
520
00:33:46,825 --> 00:33:49,659
- How you doing, baby?
- As always,
521
00:33:49,728 --> 00:33:51,695
surviving, missing you guys.
522
00:33:51,764 --> 00:33:53,230
Daddy, I finished the song.
523
00:33:53,298 --> 00:33:55,899
Hey, now,
that's the best news I've gotten
524
00:33:55,968 --> 00:33:58,079
- since I've been here.
- Yep, I kept the melody,
525
00:33:58,103 --> 00:34:00,070
changed the lyrics.
It's a duet now.
526
00:34:00,139 --> 00:34:02,139
JT thinks the bridge
still needs work,
527
00:34:02,174 --> 00:34:03,985
-but I feel like
if we just added...
-Oh, wha...
528
00:34:04,009 --> 00:34:06,009
who's JT and how would he know?
529
00:34:06,078 --> 00:34:08,879
You remember JT.
Kendall's friend.
530
00:34:08,947 --> 00:34:10,781
Speaking of Kendall,
where is he?
531
00:34:10,849 --> 00:34:13,183
Uh, he's at the library
with Andy.
532
00:34:13,252 --> 00:34:14,996
They have a big calculus test
tomorrow.
533
00:34:15,020 --> 00:34:16,564
- You got two minutes.
- Someone's in a mood.
534
00:34:16,588 --> 00:34:19,122
If you got the money for
day care, my mood will change.
535
00:34:19,191 --> 00:34:21,992
- Okay, I don't have the money.
536
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:24,428
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
But I got this.
537
00:34:28,467 --> 00:34:30,066
Kendall.
538
00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:41,244
When I wanted to be together,
you ran like un pequeño chico.
539
00:34:41,313 --> 00:34:44,881
-And now that I'm with Marcos,
you want to get married.
-You don't love Marcos.
540
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:47,984
But I trust him.
And he loves me.
541
00:34:50,722 --> 00:34:53,156
You're right.
542
00:34:53,225 --> 00:34:56,860
I want to be a real dad.
543
00:34:56,929 --> 00:34:58,829
To Daniel.
544
00:34:58,897 --> 00:35:01,932
You are Daniel's father.
545
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,303
And you'll always be my first.
546
00:35:06,371 --> 00:35:09,906
Forget that money for day care.
547
00:35:09,975 --> 00:35:11,553
Daddy, can you make Mama
come hear us sing?
548
00:35:11,577 --> 00:35:13,521
Oh, Bri, you better go
hear your daughter sing.
549
00:35:13,545 --> 00:35:15,290
I went to every one
of your shows.
550
00:35:15,314 --> 00:35:16,958
Least you can do
is go to one of hers.
551
00:35:16,982 --> 00:35:18,915
Oh, so you went
to all her shows?
552
00:35:18,984 --> 00:35:20,450
Every single one.
553
00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:22,430
Fell in love with your mother
when I heard her sing
554
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:24,821
"Summertime"
at Tiny's Juke Joint.
555
00:35:24,890 --> 00:35:26,756
You were that good?
556
00:35:26,825 --> 00:35:29,159
- Mama, why'd you stop singing?
- Okay, so this call
557
00:35:29,228 --> 00:35:32,596
has 12 minutes left, and this
is not how I want to spend them.
558
00:35:33,799 --> 00:35:35,398
Bye, Daddy. Love you.
559
00:35:35,467 --> 00:35:36,733
I love you.
560
00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:40,003
Hey, baby.
561
00:35:40,072 --> 00:35:41,638
Ah, I miss you so much.
562
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:49,045
He's short. Two large.
563
00:35:49,114 --> 00:35:52,415
You hear that, Mikey?
You short.
564
00:35:52,484 --> 00:35:54,295
-What am I supposed
to do with this?
-Please, Gerald.
565
00:35:54,319 --> 00:35:56,030
For the love of everything,
don't kill me.
566
00:35:56,054 --> 00:35:57,499
Calm down, Mikey.
I ain't gonna kill you.
567
00:35:57,523 --> 00:35:59,367
- Not if you get my money.
- On my mama grave,
568
00:35:59,391 --> 00:36:01,324
- I swear I will.
- Get him out.
569
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:10,044
Oh, for cryin' out loud,
you shat yourself?
570
00:36:10,068 --> 00:36:11,234
Oh, geez, Gerald.
571
00:36:11,303 --> 00:36:13,837
- It was an accident.
- Okay, stop.
572
00:36:13,906 --> 00:36:15,946
I see you again,
you ain't got my money,
573
00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:19,488
-I'll get it, Gerald.
I promise. I promise. e
I see y-Mm.Mikey.
574
00:36:20,112 --> 00:36:22,579
Clean that shit up.
575
00:36:32,991 --> 00:36:35,225
I did it.
576
00:36:35,294 --> 00:36:38,929
I did it, I did it, I did it.
577
00:36:38,997 --> 00:36:40,730
I got Gladys Knight.
578
00:36:40,799 --> 00:36:43,233
- Mm.
- Mm.
579
00:36:43,302 --> 00:36:46,870
Mm. Every single Pip.
580
00:36:46,939 --> 00:36:48,572
Well, I never doubted you.
581
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,451
Yeah, our life
is about to change, Red.
582
00:36:50,475 --> 00:36:53,209
- And I'm gonna
give you the world.
583
00:36:53,278 --> 00:36:55,412
Yeah, but first...
584
00:36:59,084 --> 00:37:00,650
...Amtrak tickets.
585
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,254
Look, I know you hate to fly,
so I got you Amtrak tickets.
586
00:37:04,323 --> 00:37:05,733
Yeah, I mean it, Red,
this-this is our dream,
587
00:37:05,757 --> 00:37:06,890
and it's coming true.
588
00:37:06,959 --> 00:37:08,570
I want my family
out there with me.
589
00:37:08,594 --> 00:37:13,129
But Don, how we able to afford
this? I mean, the L.A. trip,
590
00:37:13,198 --> 00:37:15,577
-the seed money? Baby,
where did you get it from?
-I only took a couple thousand.
591
00:37:15,601 --> 00:37:18,034
You promised that
you wouldn't touch that, Don.
592
00:37:18,103 --> 00:37:20,570
I bet on me,
I bet on me and I won.
593
00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:22,739
We.
594
00:37:22,808 --> 00:37:24,774
We won, baby.
595
00:37:26,678 --> 00:37:28,878
Do you remember when
you gave me your class ring
596
00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:30,227
right before you went for Korea?
597
00:37:30,282 --> 00:37:33,783
- Uh-huh.
598
00:37:33,852 --> 00:37:36,987
Ooh, I was the happiest girl
at DuSable High.
599
00:37:37,055 --> 00:37:40,357
And I knew that I would, uh,
that I would wait for you
600
00:37:40,425 --> 00:37:44,094
and that we would get married.
601
00:37:44,162 --> 00:37:48,331
That I'll love you
for the rest of my life.
602
00:37:49,735 --> 00:37:53,269
I knew then like I know now,
Don, that, uh,
603
00:37:53,338 --> 00:37:58,842
if you move to Los Angeles,
if you live there,
604
00:37:58,910 --> 00:38:02,245
baby, we won't make it.
605
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:10,053
Baby...
606
00:38:10,122 --> 00:38:12,722
I'm not moving to L.A., Don.
607
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:15,058
I won't put the kids
through that.
608
00:38:15,127 --> 00:38:19,195
So what you saying, um...
609
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,701
-...that you want me
to give up on my dream?
-No.
610
00:38:24,770 --> 00:38:27,437
I want you here with us.
611
00:38:27,506 --> 00:38:30,640
But listen, you know what?
Go to L.A., all right?
612
00:38:30,709 --> 00:38:34,110
Okay? And then do the show
and then come home.
613
00:38:34,179 --> 00:38:36,079
Don, every week, come home.
614
00:38:36,148 --> 00:38:38,588
Look, baby. Baby, you're worried
about me with other women,
615
00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:41,618
but don't be. Don't be, because
I'm not gonna cheat on you.
616
00:38:41,687 --> 00:38:44,032
-Yeah, well, it ain't never
stopped you before, Don.
-Damn it, Delores.
617
00:38:44,056 --> 00:38:46,923
That was a long time ago. Either
you forgive me or you don't.
618
00:38:46,992 --> 00:38:48,792
Baby, I forgave you.
619
00:38:48,860 --> 00:38:51,594
Don, I believe in you.
620
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:55,065
And I believe that you mean
everything that you're saying.
621
00:38:55,133 --> 00:38:57,734
But Don, I know what I know.
622
00:39:06,044 --> 00:39:08,211
Red, look at me.
623
00:39:09,214 --> 00:39:12,482
I love you.
624
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:14,095
I love you, baby,
and those boys,
625
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:15,952
they mean everything to me.
626
00:39:16,021 --> 00:39:18,488
But if I don't do this,
627
00:39:18,557 --> 00:39:21,624
if I don't do everything in my
power to try and make this work,
628
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:24,427
I won't make it.
629
00:39:24,496 --> 00:39:26,441
Now, I've failed at everything
that I've ever done.
630
00:39:26,465 --> 00:39:28,476
I don't even make
enough money to provide
631
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:31,434
for my own damn family.
632
00:39:31,503 --> 00:39:34,671
- I'm suffocating, baby.
- I know you are, baby.
633
00:39:34,740 --> 00:39:37,841
I'm suffocating, and I can't...
