All language subtitles for Bob Hearts Abishola s03e09 Im Not Edsel.eng

Yeah, don't worry, Tunde,
she doesn't suspect a thing.

Yeah, I know it's 6:30.

I'll get her there
as soon as I can.

Well, if you're hungry,
have a snack.

I don't know, cheese.

She's coming. Bye.

What happened? Why are you
wearing your pajamas?

I don't feel like going
to Auntie and Uncle's tonight.

Well, we can't always do
what we feel. Let's go.

I'm tired.
I'll call and reschedule.

No. I forbid it.

-[laughs] Very funny, Bob.
- Come on.

You can't cancel.
They're elders.

I thought you had to
follow their commands

like little
Nigerian robots.

Well, this robot is sleepy.

I'm sorry. The last thing
Tunde said to me was,

[imitating Uncle Tunde]: "I
order Abishola to be at dinner."

Fine.

But do not ever
do that voice again.

[normal voice]:
Deal. Go, go, go.

Why are they having us over
on their bingo night?

It got cancelled.

- Why?
- Because...

there was a fire.

Fire?

Everyone's fine,

just all the little
bingo balls melted.

Can't they just get new balls?

Factory's closed.

The factory is closed?

Yeah, another fire.

You now, they haven't said,
but I think they're connected.

What is going on?

Nothing. I'm just excited
to get to Olu and Tunde's

as soon as possible.

Welcome to dinner,
and only dinner.

She knows something's up.

What could be worth going
through all this nonsense for?

E kasaan, Mum.

- Dele?
- Surprise!

Oh, Dele, my baby boy.

I've missed you so much.

I've missed you, too.

I don't understand.
How did you get here?

Abishola, I see you have gained
weight since the wedding.

Surprise.

["Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing]

How is the stew?

So hot it could strip paint.

My sister will still say
it is bland. Add more pepper.

Don't worry, Auntie,

everything is going
- to be delicious. - It better be.

Otherwise, she will blame me,
and I will blame you.

[chuckles] I've missed you.

I missed you, too. [chuckles]

Okay, enough.
Put this love in the food.

I still cannot believe
you're here in Detroit.

It was nice
to finally be invited.

You're always
invited, Mummy.

Well, this invite included
a first-class ticket.

Thank you, Bob.

You're very welcome.

Although, it would have been
nice to know you were coming

ahead of time.

That would've ruined
the surprise.

Yes, it would have.

Mummy, would you like

to visit the hospital
and see where I work?

- Are you a doctor yet?
- No.

I will visit
when you are a doctor.

[mouths]

But I would love to see
Bob's sock empire.

Well, I wouldn't call it an
empire. It's more of a kingdom.

Happy to have you visit.

Tunde,

that was your second trip
to the bathroom.

Ah, too much ginger ale.

Or it could be your prostate.

Nonsense, Ebun.

My prostate is strong.
My stream is mighty.

She knows about
my prostate problem.

How?

She sniffs out our weaknesses
like a bloodhound.

She is all-knowing,

and all-judging.

The worst part is,

I have to pee again.

Welcome, Ebun.

Thank you, Dottie.
I've brought you a gift.

Dele.

Yes, Granny?

You are the gift.
Hug your grandmother.

Aw. Come here, Dele.

- Nice to see you again.
- Do I get to keep him?

No.

Mummy, I'm sorry the
house is such a mess.

No need to apologize.
Just clean it.

Bob, help her.

The cleaning lady
was here this morning.

Are you talking back
to your mother?

I was, but I'll stop.

Oh, this is gonna be fun.
Can I get you a drink?

Please, allow me.

Abishola,
get us drinks.

- DOTTIE:
- Bring them out to the hot tub.

Ebun and I are gonna
soak our tootsies.

I hope you are enjoying
your surprise.

You better make this
- a hell of a visit, kid. - Yeah.

And we put your desk
by the window.

I hope you like it.

It's great.

Um, what are these?

Oh, whenever I read
an article

that made me think of you,

I saved it so you could
read it, too.

Oh, there's so many.

I thought about you a lot.

This one is about
a dance troupe in Ghana.

And this one is about

how terrible
the Detroit Pistons are.

Did you know they were so bad?

Yeah, I knew.

You should think about
following a team that wins.

I think about it every season.

I'm so glad
you are here.

Even if it is just
for a little while.

- Me too.
- And remember,

no matter how far you go
or how long you are gone,

this is your home,

and it alwayswill be.

All right, Dele, scram.
Granny wants our room,

so we're sleeping
in here tonight.

Enjoy the couch.

You can visit
your room tomorrow.

Welcome home, bud.

Everyone, we have
a special guest today.

All the way
from Lagos, Nigeria,

my beautiful mother-in-law,
Ebunoluwa Odegbami.

Give her a big
MaxDot welcome.

What the hell's
a MaxDot welcome?

Clap and bow.
Clap and bow.

Clap and bow![applause]

The workers are very obedient.

I like it.

Yeah, we got a good group.
Award-winning.

We got Detroit's
Top Garment Manufacturer

five out of the last six years.

What happened in 2018?

You know, that's
the same thing Abishola said

when she first came here.

Mummy, Bob also got
Businessman of the Year.

Only one?

Oh, I'm sure it'll be
the first of many.

Good.

Thanks, kid.

Now, if you'll all wait here,

I've got something
special for Mama Ebun.

He is a good man, Abishola.

Thank you.

Also, you should
know my bed

was very uncomfortable
last night.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Would you like some
- different pillows? - No.

I just wanted you to know
your bed was a failure.

BOB:
Special delivery.

Mama, you remember
my brother Douglas?

I do not.

I was the other white guy
at the wedding.

Oh, yes.

The drunk one.

I think it was
the altitude.

And, to be clear, I was high.

And-and Kofo here just got
moved up to head of marketing.

Ah, I see you are smart enough
to have promoted a Nigerian man.

I thought you'd
like that.

I think you're gonna
like this even more.

A bouquet for you.

Notice that each sock flower
is a women's medium.

[chuckles] Thank you, Bob.

My family back home
will be jealous.

Well, that's who those
other boxes are for.

If I give them socks,

how would they
be jealous of mine?

- You're right. They're all yours.
- EBUNOLUWA: Wonderful.

Thank you for such
a lovely greeting.

Should I expect more surprises
at your other factories?

What's that?

Mummy, this is MaxDot.

Yes, I know
this is the original building.

Surely, after 25 years,

Bob has expanded
to other factories.

Well, I haven't
really needed to.

Wh-What Mr. Wheeler
is saying is

we do not have enough business
to justify other warehouses.

Thanks for helping, Kofo.

[indistinct chatter]

This is nice.

I like being a tourist
in our own town.

Did you hear all that stuff
she was saying about MaxDot?

- She likes your company.
- You mean,

my teeny, tiny company?

Bob, look.

Now, here is a businessman.

As if cars were not enough,
Henry Ford also

built airplanes
to help his country.

He also hated unions
and was an anti-Semite.

Is that on there?

- Bob.
- Just asking.

EBUNOLUWA:
Well, do not worry.

In ten years,
with an improved mindset,

you could be
the Henry Ford of socks.

[chuckles]

In ten years, I'm gonna
be on a boat, on a lake.

You are planning to retire?

Oh, yeah.

So, you are satisfied
with what you have accomplished?

I am.

Interesting.

I assumed you were
a more ambitious man.

I'm plenty ambitious.

I met your daughter
because I worked myself

- into a heart attack.
- And it was nearly fatal.

Thank you.

Mr. Ford had several

heart attacks and a stroke.

Mummy,
Bob is a very hard worker.

He kept a small business alive

in Detroit when so many
others went bankrupt.

That's right.

Of course he could work harder,

and his business could
be more successful,

- but he's fine with it.
- Wait, what?

You thought you were
marrying Henry Ford,

instead you get Edsel.

- Who is Edsel?
- Henry Ford's son.

He inherited the business and
didn't really do much with it.

I'm not Edsel.

Says here he loved boats, too.

See? Edsel.

I'm not Edsel!

It's only two weeks.

We can survive
two weeks.

This is who I am.

- What?
- William Clay Ford.

Clay took over when Ford
was on the ropes

and kept it afloat,
just like me and MaxDot.

Bob, do not listen
to my mother.

Well, what about you--
do you think

I could have done more
with the company?

Bob.

Do not listen
to my mother.

Got it.
Edsel hears you loud and clear.

You are not Edsel.

You are Bob Wheeler,
my husband.

A brilliant
and talented man

who can accomplish
anything he puts his mind to.

You have made your choices,
and I'm happy with it,

as long as you are.

That was very nice. Thank you.

But the headline is
I could've done more!

Ah, good morning,
everyone.

ALL:
Good morning.

You're all up early.

Well, when you
sleep on the couch,

you get to wake up
when everyone else does

and make them breakfast.

I'm still adjusting
to the time change.

And I had a cup of coffee
four days ago,

so I'll never sleep again.

Don't get old, kid.

You are not old.

Oh, what a sweetie.

Go get five dollars
out of my purse.

Where's Bob?
Still in bed.

Hmm. I'm surprised
a company president

can sleep in on a weekday.

Because Bob trains
his employees well,

and they can take care
of anything that comes up.

EBUNOLUWA:
That's wonderful,

so he can sleep in
and dream of his little boat.

DOTTIE:
Big boat.

He's already got
the name picked out,

Socks to Be You.

[laughs] Get it?

No.

Bob works very hard, Mummy.

Of course he does.
Just not today, apparently.

Mummy, please.

What? Am I telling lies?

Bob does not deserve
to be spoken about this way.

And I do not deserve this tone.

Am I not still your mother?

Yes, you are.

You are also insulting
my husband in our home,

and I will nothave it.

How dare you speak
to me this way?

Dele, pack your bag.
We are going back

- to Nigeria.
- Dele.

Stay right where you are.

Go pack.

Do not move.

How are you not nuts?

[Uncle Tunde sighs]

I think this is
the last one.

Thank you, Tunde.

You have rescued me
from a nightmare.

We are all in the same dream.

I could not

spend another minute
in that house.

I'm sure Abishola is sorry
for what she said.

It is too late for apologies.

I will never speak to her again.

I'm just worried
that Abishola

will not be able to see
how furious you are

if you are staying here.

- She knows.
- Ah, oh, but

wouldn't it be more clear
if you were at Bob's house

parading your anger
in front of her?

Sister,

this is your first time
in America.

Do not spend it fighting with a
daughter you barely get to see.

I do not want to, but she
has given me no choice.

You insulted
her husband.

She was just
- standing up for him. - Eh, eh!

Are you saying
this is my fault?

[stammers]

Tunde, get my things,
I am leaving.

Where will you go?

Uh, perhaps
to a hotel.

You can use my Hilton points.

You are right, Olu.
I will stay here.

[sighs]

But, until everyone apologizes,

I am only speaking to Tunde.

- Fine.
- Fine.

Fine.

And I told her to never speak
about my husband that way.

Did you say that in your head
or out loud?

Out loud. Oluwa mi o.

You spoke up for your
husband, good for you.

Not good for her.

Husbands come and go,

mothers are forever.

And now she's
not speaking to me.

- Have you tried groveling?
- No.

I would start there.

Hold on,

maybe she should see
where this goes.

What are you talking about?

She just created a boundary
with her mother.

That's every
daughter's dream.

How did it feel?

In the moment, exhilarating.

Like jumping out of a plane.

[chuckles]

But you do realize you are now
plummeting towards the earth

with no parachute.

Come on, it's not that serious.

Have you ever talked back
to your mother?

Hell no.

That's why
I want to see

where this thing goes.

Thank you all
for coming.

Happy to be here, Bob.

Wait a minute, I thought
you don't work here anymore.

I don't, but as a stakeholder
in this company,

Bob requested that
I be at this meeting.

Wait, we don't have to work here
to have a stake in the company?

In that case,
I also have an announcement.

I've done this company
a disservice.

All these years
I've been settling

for staying
in business,

instead of pushing us to live up

to our full potential,

and I'm sorry.

You're apologizing
for keeping us afloat?

Apology accepted.

Look, I'm serious.

We had chances
to expand,

open more factories.

I was too scared to take
the risk, but not anymore.

- What are you saying?
- I'm saying

let's make some moves,

push our chips all in,
and see what happens.

[sighs]

That is really bold, Bob.

I'm out.

I haven't even
told you my plan.

Why don't you just
push your chips in,

and if it goes good, then
we get some of your new chips.

Oh, my gosh.
That's a great idea.

Guys.

We can do this.

We could take MaxDot global.

Honey, what's going on?

I just feel like
I could do more.

You've done plenty.
You took over a business

that was barely hanging on,

in a city that had already
let go, and you made it work.

No layoffs for 25 years, and
that was through two recessions.

That's an achievement.

No, that's just the beginning.

I'm not so sure
- about that, Bob. - I don't know.

You're sounding
really strange... Okay, can I just say something?

Please.

Motion to freeze
company assets

and suspend
any new business.

Seconded.

You need three-quarters
of the board to do that.

Oh, my God.

You're the Edsels.

[muttering]:
I don't know what that means.

[sighs]

Tunde, ask my sister

if she wants more stew.

Ebun, would you like more stew?

Tell my sister,
no, thank you.

The stew was inedible.

She said, "No, thank you."

Please

ask my sister

why she devoured two bowls.

She said...

"You seem to like it."

Tell her I did not, but

our parents raised us
to be polite.

She obviously
has forgotten that.

[sighs]

Tell her.
Yes, tell me, Tunde.

I am done with this.

- That is not what she said.
- If you need me,

I am taking a walk

to the Downtown Hilton!

What is wrong with him?

He has been very moody lately.

I think it is his prostate.

I knew it.

More stew, Sister?

Oh, yes, please.
