All language subtitles for Bob.Hearts.Abishola.S02E15.1080p.WEBRip.x265-RARBG

Thank you for letting me
take my practice test here.

Of course.

It's the MCAT. You
need peace and quiet.

Plus, we get a little
bonus time together.

Bob, I'm here to study.

That was it. Bonus time's over.

Did you have fun?

I did.

-Can I please take my test now?
-Sure thing.

Now, good luck,

and break a tibia,
which is a...

Leg bone.

There she is.
She's ready, folks.

-Bob, please.
-Right. You do that,

and I'll keep myself
busy for the next...

Three and a half hours.

Really? I can't even sit
through a movie that long.

Bobby!

Give me your credit card.

That shady online poker site
won't accept mine.

No, I told you
to stay in your room. Vamoose.

I'm not going anywhere.
You can't just lock me away

like some goofy Kennedy cousin.

-Here. Go play your poker.
See?

Now, was that so hard?

♪ Luck, be a lady tonight.

God, she's so annoying.

How's it going so far?

Sorry.

Now what?

Oh, the dishwasher's
been acting up.

You want me to stop it?

I'll stop it.

Whoa!

-That's new.
-Do you need my help?

Nope. Stay there,
put your feet up.

Seriously, put
your feet up.

The water's headed your way.

Somebody up there

doesn't want you to be a doctor.

I-I'm assuming
you're giving me a look.

I'll go grab some candles.

What the hell
happened to the Wi-Fi?

We got a situation out here.

Oh, got one here, too.
You just lost 600 bucks.

How?
The game locked up.

You lost $600?

I had a good hand!

You're why I drink,
you know that?

Well, right back at you!

Here we go. There's more
than one way to skin an MCAT.

Hello?

Abishola?

Abishola? Whoa!

Name all the bones
in the human hand.

Scaphoid.

-Mm-hmm.
-Triquetrum.

Lunate.

Um...

-"Um" is not a bone!
-Ow! Kemi.

The pain will condition you
to be better.

Ask anyone.

Horse trainers, Catholic nuns,

my kitchen staff.

When you study

with Bob,
have him use a wooden spoon.

Bob will not hit me.

He doesn't have to.
The flinch will jog your memory.

I hope so. This is the section
I scored the lowest on.

"She looks too pretty,
try to catch her."

Thank you, Gloria.
It's a new smock.

But please
do not distract us.

It's a mnemonic device to
help you remember the bones.

"She looks too pretty,
try to catch her."

Scaphoid, lunate,

triquetrum, pisiform,

trapezium, trapezoid,
capitate, hamate.

Americans have such cute phrases
for everything.

"Click it or ticket."

"Never shake a baby."

How do you know this,
Gloria?

I made up
all kind of tricks like that

when I was studying for my MCAT.

You applied to medical school?

Applied, got in and went.

Then why are you
not a doctor?

Long story.

Oh, I understand.

Medical school can be difficult
-for some people.
Mm-hmm.

-What do you mean, "some people"?
Well, not everyone

can withstand the workload
Nigerians can.

Here we go

with the "Nigerians are better
than everybody else" crap.

Only when it comes to working
hard and applying themselves.

You have no idea
what you're talking about.

I'm talking
about becoming a doctor,

an accomplishment I will achieve
and some people cannot.

You are unbelievable.

Thank you.

Ow!

Which bone did I hit?
Tell me. Tell me!

Hey.

Rumor has it, you have
a problematic dishwasher.

-How'd you know?
-Abishola assumed
that you could not

repair it, so she asked me
to come and help.

I hope this does not
make you feel inadequate.

-No, why would it?
-You see?

I mean, you didn't
have to come by.

I was just gonna call a guy.

Bob, I am the guy.

I have been called.

Oh, my.

Yeah, it took a while, but I got
the situation under control.

With towels.

I didn't say I fixed it.

This is the
pre-call-a-guy solution.

Don't worry.
Uncle Tunde is here.

Dele, set out the tools.

-Sorry you got roped into this.
-It is a rope

of guidance.
He will not grow up to be a man

who, when something breaks,
calls another man.

Again,

really doesn't bother me.

You see?

You really need
to start watching

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

It will help you
with your studies.

-Ah, that's a TV show.
-Yes, but it is
very realistic.

It will teach you
how to set a leg

in a moving chuck wagon.

Uh, why is Gloria
sitting over there?

I don't know.

Our table is sticky
but no more than usual.

Hello, Gloria.

Uh-uh. This one
is stickier.

Why would you sit
at a stickier table?

It is unlikely that
was coincidental.

What's going on?
Did we miss her birthday?

No. She's an Aquarius.

Even though right now
she's acting

like a Pisces.

Do we smell bad?

You smell fine.

And I smell like
baked beans,

which people
find comforting.

Well, clearly she does not
want to sit with us.

Or one of us.

Wait here.

It is you. The problem is you.

You guys want anything?

Chips? Soda? I got everything

but paper towels
and clean plates.

I would like a soda.

-Are you thirsty?
-Yes.

Good.

Use that.

No sodas until we are done.

Boy, you don't mess around,
do you?

No, Bob, I do
not mess around.

I fix things.
Things that other people break.

Often by messing around.

All I did was put in
dirty dishes and press "start."

Did you rinse the dishes?

Well, they say
you don't have to.

Now I know you have to.

When you respect a machine,
it returns the respect.

When the trust is broken...

So is the machine.

Good.

Repairing something

connects us to its
past and its future.

That is a lot of
responsibility.

I understand how that
could make you afraid.

-Well,

there are many other words
for it.

Too busy, disengaged,

lazy.

They all boil down to afraid.

Not the way I boil it.
It's just easier to call a guy.

Why?'Cause it's a pain
in the ass

and a waste of my time.

And you might fail at it.

Yeah. What do I know
about fixing dishwashers?

More than you think.

Come here.

Dele, give him
the screwdriver.

What?

I see it now.

I am not here to
fix a dishwasher.

I am here to fix you.

How's that soda?

Very good.

Just tell me why
you are angry.

The fact that you
don't even know

is a big part of the why.

Is that a riddle?

You know,
you are being childish.

Ooh, first
I don't work hard enough.

Now I'm childish.

I can always count on you
to tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Is that a clue to the riddle?

Here's the clue.

This morning you said

I didn't become a doctor
'cause I was lazy.

Who wants to replace an aorta?!

Status?

Richard Gavins.
Aortic valve replacement.

Normal, no allergies.

It was wrong of me to
boast about my ambitions.

I should have anticipated
that you might get jealous.

Jealous? Of what?

The rich fiancé you found
to pay for your medical school?

-Excuse me?
-You heard what I said.

Bob has nothing to do
-with my decision.
-Really?

I didn't see you
applying last year.

Oh, congratulations
on receiving

the "Sleeping with
the Sock Man" scholarship.

Are you two done?

We are done.

Scalpel.

Careful. It's sharp.

The bolt isn't moving.

It was designed
to stay in place.

It is only doing its job.

Well, it's better
at its job than I'm at mine.

The fight is not over
until one side concedes.

Tunde, I could listen
to you talk forever.

You're like the Nigerian
James Earl Jones.

Thank you. Dottie,

I am your uncle.

Look! Goosebumps!

I wish I had the
patience to fix things.

I'm just gonna say it.

I'm a quitter.
I'm a big, fat quitter.

Most people quit
because they are overwhelmed.

Stop focusing
on the task ahead.

Instead, look at what
you have already accomplished.

Wow. Such wise words while
I'm feeling so vulnerable.

You'd be a great cult leader.

Thank you.

Tunde,

I just got to say, I am
learning more from you today

than I have from any
of my seven life coaches.

Life coach?

Is that a real job?

No.

Here. Take this.

It'll help with your grip.

Tell Uncle you figured it out
on your own.

Thanks. Is he
always like this?

Yes. I'm so glad
you're in the family now.

Oh.

Abishola's calling.

Is she? Or are you just going
to stand in the garage again?

It's real this time.

Hey. How's it going?

Are you going to help me pay

for medical school?

I mean, sure, if you need me to.

You think I need you to?

-Do you?
-No!

Why would you say that?

I didn't say anything!

I will never need
your money, Bob.

The only reason I agreed to
marry you is because I love you.

Nothing else!

Well, I love you, too!

What is going on?

I have to go.

He was struggling so much.

I had to help him.

I know it is hard to watch,

but we must let Bob fail
over and over again

until he learns to be a man.

Sorry, honey. It's still
a little loud in here.

I'm gonna finish this
in the garage.

Ah. There you are.

Which days would you say
you are most fun to talk to?

What?

I'm dividing up
my lunch calendar

between you and Gloria now
that your friendship is dead.

It is not dead.

The only chance of
saving it is if you are

the bigger person
and apologize.

So, which days
do you want?

Maybe Gloria is the one
who should be the bigger person.

That is how it usually works.

You insult her,

she forgives you.

You insult her again,
she forgives you again.

But today

you insulted her,
and for some reason

she decided to insult you back.

So interesting.

Anyway, let's look
at the calendar.

I do not care
when we have lunch together.

Such a Monday attitude.

But we fight,

and our friendship does not end.

Abishola, not everybody has
my rare combination

of grace and patience.

I know you know this,

but you are extremely lucky
to have me as a friend.

Auntie!

Is this where
the party is at?

-Do I smell ogbono?
-You do.

Then this is definitely
where the party's at.

I hear Tunde has
kept you very busy.

Yeah, a handyman would've come
and gone in under an hour,

but where's the
fun in that?

He has been doing
all his own repairs for years.

Yeah, that came up.

It has been very hard on him
to have to step back.

-What do you mean?
-His arthritis is getting worse.

He didn't tell me that.

And you will not tell him
I told you.

-Of course not.
-Mm.

You did a good thing today.

Ah, it was my pleasure.

So sweet of you to
act so helpless.

I mean, any idiot
can fix a dishwasher.

All right, now it's starting
to bother me.

These are for you.

Insoles?

For your shoes.

I notice you take them off
under the desk

because they hurt your feet.

Thank you.

Plus, they have
an odor-eater,

so I will no longer notice
when you take off your shoes.

Boy, you are terrible
at apologizing.

I am.

Well, I didn't mean what I said
about you and the sock man.

Hmm. Don't worry.

Bob will pay for nothing.

The crippling debt
will be mine alone.

I don't want that.

I want you to succeed.

I'm sorry you did not
become a doctor.

I wanted to be a doctor
since I was four years old.

My parents thought
I was crazy.

Nobody in our family had gone
to college,

let alone medical school.

-Hmm.
-But I wasn't gonna
let that stop me.

I graduated at the top
of my class.

You couldn't tell me nothing.

Where did you go
to medical school?

Well, Meharry and Howard were
really the only two places

taking Black folks, but my
family needed me close by.

So you stopped.

Nope. I kicked so much butt
in a post-graduate program,

even the white schools
couldn't ignore me anymore.

My parents started calling me
Dr. Gloria.

I was on my way.

In med school, I was the only
Black woman in my class.

They just assumed I got
in to fill a quota.

Didn't matter I was one of
the smartest people there.

-Huh.
-And what happened?

Well, I wanted to be a surgeon,

but back then they
didn't take too kindly

to Black folks
cutting on people.

Oh.

Oh, so then you stopped?

Nope. I pivoted.

Family medicine.

And I was starting a family
of my own.

I was ready
to be the breadwinner.

All I needed was a place
to do my residency.

I'm guessing
there weren't a lot of places

that took Black residents.

Oh. You're catching on.

But I tried again.
And again.

And in 1987, I matched.

Detroit Memorial Hospital.

That's wonderful.

It would have been.

But people were leaving
Detroit in droves.

And before I could start,
the hospital closed.

Had a family and needed a job.

I became a nurse.

I'm so sorry.

I cannot believe you did
all that work for nothing.

No, it wasn't for nothing.

It cleared the path
so it's easier

for the folks coming behind.

Like I said,

I want you to succeed.

I can't get
the damn thing to start.

Without the forklift,
we're screwed.

-Why didn't you call a guy?
-I did.

You are the guy, Tunde.

I am the guy.

Uh, this is Goodwin and Kofo.

E karo, sir.

E karo, Uncle.

You're not gonna believe this,

but they're almost
as helpless as I was.

I noticed their bows
were very lackluster.

Not a good sign.

Oh, so you can
do it right.

Are you sure it's
not gonna start?

Positive.
We pulled the ignition wire.

What is that in your hand?

A wire?

No. It is an opportunity.

Come.

Sit at my feet.

You heard him.

Well, uh, good luck, you two.

And remember,
no sodas till you're done.

Scoot! Scoot!
