174
00:06:27,614 --> 00:06:29,441
This is her home,
and she is the head
175
00:06:29,444 --> 00:06:30,996
of the selection committee,
176
00:06:31,067 --> 00:06:32,377
so you'll want
to be nice to her.
177
00:06:32,517 --> 00:06:33,965
Oh, I'm nice
to everybody.
178
00:06:34,035 --> 00:06:35,415
-Hmph.
-Don't you start.
179
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,037
So you ready to go over
to meet Dorothy?
180
00:06:37,107 --> 00:06:38,142
Um...
181
00:06:38,213 --> 00:06:39,833
ADULT DEAN: I didn't understand
why at the time,
182
00:06:39,903 --> 00:06:41,455
but Mama looked nervous.
183
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,319
Dad noticed too, but him
being a man in the 1960s,
184
00:06:44,391 --> 00:06:46,493
he didn't know
exactly what to say either,
185
00:06:46,496 --> 00:06:48,255
so he went
with his old standby.
186
00:06:48,326 --> 00:06:50,464
Uh, you look very pretty,
sweetie.
187
00:06:50,570 --> 00:06:52,605
[Chuckles softly]
Thank you, Bill.
188
00:06:52,676 --> 00:06:54,641
Oh, my.
189
00:06:54,712 --> 00:06:57,126
This is like sorority rush
all over again.
190
00:06:57,198 --> 00:06:58,440
[Inhales deeply]
191
00:06:58,578 --> 00:07:01,303
Okay, let's go.
192
00:07:01,962 --> 00:07:04,238
Dorothy! [Chuckles]
193
00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:05,619
I would like to
introduce you
194
00:07:05,690 --> 00:07:07,759
to my dear friend
Lillian Williams.
195
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:09,795
Oh, hello.
196
00:07:09,866 --> 00:07:12,177
And these are her children,
Dean and Kim.
197
00:07:12,249 --> 00:07:15,076
Such a pleasure to
meet you, Mrs. Payton.
198
00:07:15,148 --> 00:07:18,079
ADULT DEAN:
Kim was gonna be on her best behavior like Mama asked,
199
00:07:18,151 --> 00:07:20,841
but she was still gonna do it
in a way that embarrassed her.
200
00:07:20,913 --> 00:07:22,532
Thank you, Kim.
Please get up.
201
00:07:22,534 --> 00:07:24,190
[laughter]
202
00:07:24,261 --> 00:07:25,950
I am so surprised
203
00:07:26,021 --> 00:07:27,849
that our paths
haven't crossed before now.
204
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,368
You know, Vivian and I know
a lot of the same people.
205
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,819
Would I have seen you
206
00:07:31,889 --> 00:07:34,269
at one of the fundraising
luncheons for the NAACP?
207
00:07:34,341 --> 00:07:36,203
No, I don't think so.
208
00:07:36,274 --> 00:07:37,653
Oh, well,
do you do anything
209
00:07:37,724 --> 00:07:40,172
with the women's auxiliary group
at the Boys & Girls Club?
210
00:07:40,243 --> 00:07:42,967
Wait, I know.
211
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:44,039
Bridge Club.
212
00:07:44,109 --> 00:07:45,213
[both chuckle]
213
00:07:45,284 --> 00:07:46,353
I'm afraid not.
214
00:07:46,423 --> 00:07:48,043
I-I work during the day,
215
00:07:48,114 --> 00:07:51,494
so I don't get to attend many
luncheons and club meetings.
216
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,221
[chuckles]
217
00:07:53,292 --> 00:07:56,774
I'm an accountant at the state's
department of treasury.
218
00:07:56,847 --> 00:07:58,537
Interesting!
219
00:07:58,642 --> 00:08:01,504
Lillian here went to grad school
for her M.S.
220
00:08:01,508 --> 00:08:04,301
Now, I just stopped
at my M-R-S.
221
00:08:04,373 --> 00:08:05,959
-[laughs]
-Didn't we all?
222
00:08:06,029 --> 00:08:08,374
-Oh!
-[laughter]
223
00:08:08,446 --> 00:08:10,721
Now, tell me
about that recipe.
224
00:08:10,793 --> 00:08:12,828
♪♪
225
00:08:12,899 --> 00:08:15,451
ADULT DEAN:
Thankfully, I saw Cory.
226
00:08:15,591 --> 00:08:16,867
I'd just do whatever he did,
227
00:08:16,937 --> 00:08:18,834
like I do in school
when I didn't fit in.
228
00:08:18,905 --> 00:08:20,457
And on the baseball team.
229
00:08:20,596 --> 00:08:21,838
And in church...
230
00:08:21,908 --> 00:08:23,011
[chuckling]
Man, pretty soon,
231
00:08:23,082 --> 00:08:24,634
I'm gonna have to pay Cory
a retainer.
232
00:08:24,704 --> 00:08:27,083
I am so happy
to see you, man.
233
00:08:27,155 --> 00:08:28,914
I don't know what to say
to these cats.
234
00:08:28,985 --> 00:08:31,330
They're --
They're different.
235
00:08:31,401 --> 00:08:32,745
NELSON: Uh, no.
236
00:08:32,816 --> 00:08:34,437
They're gonna have to scrap
the Apollo 7
237
00:08:34,508 --> 00:08:35,956
with all the problems
with the Apollo 6.
238
00:08:36,026 --> 00:08:38,302
That's not what "Time" magazine
said, Nelson.
239
00:08:38,374 --> 00:08:39,512
ADULT DEAN:
A bunch of Black kids
240
00:08:39,651 --> 00:08:41,272
talking about space missions?
241
00:08:41,343 --> 00:08:44,205
This felt unfamiliar
yet familiar.
242
00:08:44,277 --> 00:08:46,620
Could I be...
in my element?
243
00:08:46,623 --> 00:08:50,244
You know, my man Dean knows
everything about science.
244
00:08:50,317 --> 00:08:52,386
Tell them about
your new chemistry set.
245
00:08:52,458 --> 00:08:55,562
Yeah, well, I did get the
new Skilcraft Chem-master set
246
00:08:55,668 --> 00:08:56,944
-for my birthday.
-What?
247
00:08:57,014 --> 00:08:58,876
I thought that was for kids
16 and over.
248
00:08:58,947 --> 00:09:00,705
The government makes them
put it on the box.
249
00:09:00,776 --> 00:09:02,742
Yeah, it does have
some serious chemicals,
250
00:09:02,814 --> 00:09:04,159
but, uh...
251
00:09:04,229 --> 00:09:05,884
I can make
a stink bomb.
252
00:09:05,955 --> 00:09:08,541
Stink bombs are so cool.
How do you make one?
253
00:09:10,649 --> 00:09:12,098
ADULT DEAN: I found my tribe!
254
00:09:12,168 --> 00:09:14,340
I had a feeling
I'd never had before...
255
00:09:14,412 --> 00:09:15,447
confidence!
256
00:09:15,517 --> 00:09:16,930
And so I said,
257
00:09:17,001 --> 00:09:18,553
"Then, do you pee outside?"
258
00:09:18,657 --> 00:09:19,899
[laughter]
259
00:09:19,970 --> 00:09:22,280
You were right, Dean.
260
00:09:22,351 --> 00:09:24,075
It was a thinker.
261
00:09:24,146 --> 00:09:26,422
Hey, Dean, are you coming to the
planetarium with us next week?
262
00:09:26,494 --> 00:09:29,046
Uh, I hope so. I mean,
I love the planetarium.
263
00:09:29,117 --> 00:09:31,393
Dean can name
all eight planets.
264
00:09:31,465 --> 00:09:33,154
ADULT DEAN:
Cory was wrong then,
265
00:09:33,225 --> 00:09:34,570
but he turned out to be right
266
00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:36,502
thanks to
an absolutely fascinating
267
00:09:36,573 --> 00:09:38,504
string of discoveries.
268
00:09:38,575 --> 00:09:41,575
Yeah, still a nerd.
269
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,510
ADULT DEAN:
Now that I was all in with these Lads and Ladies kids,
270
00:09:45,583 --> 00:09:47,273
I didn't want Kim's
funky attitude
271
00:09:47,344 --> 00:09:49,516
to mess it all up for me.
272
00:09:49,587 --> 00:09:51,794
-What?
-Okay, I need a favor.
273
00:09:51,865 --> 00:09:53,106
I'll do all your chores
for a week
274
00:09:53,177 --> 00:09:54,281
if you tell Mom
you want to come
275
00:09:54,351 --> 00:09:55,694
to every
Lads and Ladies event.
276
00:09:55,696 --> 00:09:57,834
Okay.
277
00:09:57,906 --> 00:10:00,079
ADULT DEAN: Man, that was easy!
278
00:10:00,150 --> 00:10:01,633
Too easy.
279
00:10:01,738 --> 00:10:03,979
It is so cool
that Howard has a major
280
00:10:04,050 --> 00:10:05,292
in Afro-American studies.
281
00:10:05,363 --> 00:10:06,776
It's not just a major
anymore.
282
00:10:06,846 --> 00:10:08,364
They started
a whole new department.
283
00:10:08,435 --> 00:10:10,744
There was a bit of
a student takeover, if you will.
284
00:10:10,747 --> 00:10:12,195
If I do decide
to go to college,
285
00:10:12,266 --> 00:10:13,232
I got to go someplace
286
00:10:13,302 --> 00:10:15,853
with a progressive
curriculum, you dig?
287
00:10:15,925 --> 00:10:17,236
[chuckles]
Right on, sister!
288
00:10:17,306 --> 00:10:18,478
You know, you should
really come to
289
00:10:18,549 --> 00:10:20,204
our college information
meeting.
290
00:10:20,274 --> 00:10:21,378
You'd definitely
dig that.
291
00:10:21,449 --> 00:10:23,656
ADULT DEAN: What?
Kim was having a good time?
292
00:10:23,795 --> 00:10:25,347
Man, I played myself.
293
00:10:25,418 --> 00:10:28,073
I was gonna have to do a week
of Kim's chores for nothing.
294
00:10:28,145 --> 00:10:29,352
Dammit.
295
00:10:29,422 --> 00:10:31,008
Wait, you're talking about
Nat King Cole?
296
00:10:31,079 --> 00:10:33,010
-The Nat King Cole?
-The one and only.
297
00:10:33,081 --> 00:10:34,392
-Ooh.
-[laughter]
298
00:10:34,462 --> 00:10:36,600
Now, I'm not saying Nat's band
was into wild stuff,
299
00:10:36,672 --> 00:10:38,706
but let's just say this cocktail
waitress and her friends --
300
00:10:38,811 --> 00:10:41,018
Hey, Bill. Bill.
301
00:10:41,089 --> 00:10:42,572
Oh. Hey, Dean.
302
00:10:42,678 --> 00:10:43,746
ADULT DEAN: I can't tell you
how many times
303
00:10:43,851 --> 00:10:46,265
I heard my dad
almost finish that story.
304
00:10:46,337 --> 00:10:47,818
Mom says it's time to go.
305
00:10:47,821 --> 00:10:50,511
Hey, it was really good
meeting you, Bill.
306
00:10:50,582 --> 00:10:52,788
And I'll be listening
for your song on the radio.
307
00:10:52,792 --> 00:10:54,999
Hey, give me a call about
the club in Birmingham.
308
00:10:55,070 --> 00:10:57,759
The owner, he's always looking
for a good band.
309
00:10:57,866 --> 00:11:00,142
I definitely will.
I really appreciate it.
310
00:11:00,214 --> 00:11:01,764
Yeah. Hey,
us Lads and Ladies folk,
311
00:11:01,766 --> 00:11:03,353
we take care
of each other.
312
00:11:03,424 --> 00:11:06,596
Dean, tell your mama
I'll be there in a minute.
313
00:11:08,153 --> 00:11:10,532
It was so nice meeting you,
Lillian.
314
00:11:10,604 --> 00:11:12,914
We really look forward
to seeing you and your children
315
00:11:12,985 --> 00:11:15,296
at the rest of our events
for prospective families.
316
00:11:15,368 --> 00:11:17,471
Well, we really look forward to
being involved.
317
00:11:17,542 --> 00:11:19,266
-See you next time.
-All right. Bye, Vivian.
318
00:11:19,337 --> 00:11:21,234
Bye. [giggling]
319
00:11:22,651 --> 00:11:25,582
Did you hear what
she said about "good hair"?
320
00:11:25,655 --> 00:11:27,275
Like anybody's hair
could stay good
321
00:11:27,345 --> 00:11:29,483
out in this type of humidity
for hours.
322
00:11:29,555 --> 00:11:31,969
I did.
It was right after she said,
323
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,730
"We only take a certain type
of family into Lads and Ladies."
324
00:11:35,871 --> 00:11:37,768
I see a whole lot
of milk chocolate out here
325
00:11:37,873 --> 00:11:39,149
and not a lot
of dark chocolate.
326
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:40,840
-Hm.
-[sighs]
327
00:11:40,843 --> 00:11:43,429
Well, there go my boys.
328
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:46,017
[giggles]
See you later, girl.
329
00:11:48,195 --> 00:11:49,918
This wasn't as bad
as I thought.
330
00:11:49,921 --> 00:11:52,300
I actually met some guys who
had excellent taste in music.
331
00:11:52,372 --> 00:11:54,303
[chuckles]
Meaning they heard your record?
332
00:11:54,374 --> 00:11:55,960
Yep. Real good taste.
333
00:11:56,031 --> 00:11:58,307
Yeah, well,
we'll see how it goes.
334
00:11:58,378 --> 00:12:00,240
You don't sound happy.
335
00:12:00,311 --> 00:12:03,242
I'm afraid they might be
living up to their reputation,
336
00:12:03,314 --> 00:12:04,556
if you know what I mean.
337
00:12:04,627 --> 00:12:06,454
Somebody say something?
338
00:12:06,525 --> 00:12:08,284
Well, it's not like they
pulled out a brown paper bag
339
00:12:08,355 --> 00:12:11,734
or anything, but it was
just a lot of comments
340
00:12:11,875 --> 00:12:14,496
about looking for
Lads and Ladies type of people.
341
00:12:14,568 --> 00:12:17,430
Well, you let me know
what you want to do.
342
00:12:17,502 --> 00:12:20,157
As long as it's good
for Dean and Kim,
343
00:12:20,229 --> 00:12:21,781
we'll stick
with the process.
344
00:12:21,886 --> 00:12:23,369
ADULT DEAN:
That was great news because
345
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,819
I'd promised a stink bomb,
