1
00:00:05,773 --> 00:00:07,439
I'm okay. I'm all right.

2
00:00:07,475 --> 00:00:09,842
Babe, let me get back to you.

3
00:00:09,877 --> 00:00:12,011
I think our firstborn
done broke his neck.

4
00:00:13,114 --> 00:00:15,047
Look dad, I'm good, all right.

5
00:00:15,082 --> 00:00:16,915
I'm too smooth
to be embarrassed.

6
00:00:17,218 --> 00:00:18,884
What are you looking at
that's got you so focused?

7
00:00:19,286 --> 00:00:21,653
I'm looking at plans for Jazzy
and I when she comes home.

8
00:00:21,689 --> 00:00:24,289
I'm gonna try this new bar
downtown tonight.

9
00:00:24,325 --> 00:00:25,524
-It's a good one.
-A bar?

10
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:27,292
Yeah, it's a daiquiri bar.

11
00:00:27,328 --> 00:00:30,462
Man, what happened to ice cream
shops and the aquarium?

12
00:00:30,498 --> 00:00:32,264
I mean, those are great places.

13
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:33,732
Yeah, for children.

14
00:00:33,768 --> 00:00:35,000
We are in our twenties.

15
00:00:35,036 --> 00:00:36,668
We're not babies anymore, Dad.

16
00:00:36,704 --> 00:00:39,772
Look, man, I don't either one of
y'all drinking and driving.

17
00:00:39,807 --> 00:00:41,840
Look, Dad, I'm not stupid, okay,

18
00:00:41,876 --> 00:00:44,343
even though Uncle Curtis
likes to imply that.

19
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:46,345
-[C.J.]<i> No, he doesn't.</i>
-Yes, he does.

20
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:47,780
Uncle Curtis said
I was so stupid

21
00:00:47,815 --> 00:00:49,748
that I'd sell the car
for gas money.

22
00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:54,353
That's funny.
Yeah, I gotta remember that one.

23
00:00:56,524 --> 00:00:57,756
It's really not that funny, Dad.

24
00:00:57,792 --> 00:01:00,426
No, okay, all right.
I'm done, I'm done.

25
00:01:00,461 --> 00:01:01,727
But in all seriousness,

26
00:01:01,762 --> 00:01:03,328
I know you want to spend time
with you sister,

27
00:01:03,364 --> 00:01:05,731
but make sure you check
your plans with her.

28
00:01:05,766 --> 00:01:07,733
What? I know Jazzy, all right.

29
00:01:07,768 --> 00:01:09,334
She will clear
her whole schedule

30
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:10,702
just to spend time with me.

31
00:01:10,738 --> 00:01:11,837
[laughing]

32
00:01:11,872 --> 00:01:13,539
Girl, please, you'd get an A too

33
00:01:13,574 --> 00:01:16,108
if you would stop watching
<i> Housewives</i> marathons in class.

34
00:01:17,645 --> 00:01:21,113
You know NeNe ain't got
nothing to do with anthropology.

35
00:01:21,148 --> 00:01:22,514
You stupid.
Listen, I just got home.

36
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:23,949
I'll hit you later.

37
00:01:23,984 --> 00:01:27,553
Girlfriend, can I get a hug,
a greeting, something?

38
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,988
I'm sorry, Dad. What's up?

39
00:01:30,024 --> 00:01:32,091
-How you doing?
-Hey, baby.

40
00:01:32,126 --> 00:01:33,992
What's up, Malik?

41
00:01:34,028 --> 00:01:36,295
All right, look,
I got a whole day planned out.

42
00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:38,130
We can go see
that new Kevin Hart movie.

43
00:01:38,165 --> 00:01:39,398
-Then we...
-I actually saw that

44
00:01:39,433 --> 00:01:40,699
last night with some friends.

45
00:01:40,734 --> 00:01:42,835
It's funny too.
You and Dad should go.

46
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:44,369
-Oh.
-Yeah, that would be nice.

47
00:01:44,405 --> 00:01:45,637
Yeah, we ain't done nothing
in a while.

48
00:01:45,673 --> 00:01:48,107
Yeah, that's for a reason.

49
00:01:49,376 --> 00:01:51,176
How about we go

50
00:01:51,212 --> 00:01:53,345
down to
the new daiquiri spot tonight?

51
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:55,247
Ooh, that sounds fun,

52
00:01:55,282 --> 00:01:58,117
but I actually have McKinley's
birthday party tonight.

53
00:01:58,152 --> 00:02:00,385
She only turns 22 once,
you know.

54
00:02:01,155 --> 00:02:04,323
How important of a milestone
it is to turn 22, huh?

55
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:07,693
We can go tomorrow though.
I'm pretty open.

56
00:02:07,728 --> 00:02:08,760
Well, unless I go to

57
00:02:08,796 --> 00:02:10,729
that High Museum
with some classmates.

58
00:02:10,764 --> 00:02:13,532
Wait. Wait a minute. A museum?

59
00:02:13,567 --> 00:02:14,833
On a Saturday with the people

60
00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:16,735
you're supposed to be
on break from? What...

61
00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:19,338
Our new professor is taking us
to his friend's art gala.

62
00:02:19,974 --> 00:02:22,708
Y'all know he's a photographer
for International Geographic.

63
00:02:22,910 --> 00:02:24,710
That's not that impressive.

64
00:02:24,745 --> 00:02:26,378
I mean, anybody could be
a photographer

65
00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:27,479
with a smartphone.

66
00:02:27,515 --> 00:02:29,314
It's just a couple clicks.

67
00:02:30,117 --> 00:02:31,383
Why you hating, bro?

68
00:02:31,418 --> 00:02:32,751
Because he misses you.

69
00:02:32,786 --> 00:02:35,554
Yeah, like a dog misses fleas.

70
00:02:37,258 --> 00:02:39,458
-I miss you too, Brodie.
-Yeah.

71
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:40,859
See, Professor Louis says

72
00:02:40,895 --> 00:02:43,562
we need to be open and honest
in our communication.

73
00:02:43,597 --> 00:02:45,297
-Mm-hmm. Yeah.
-Never assume, you know.

74
00:02:45,332 --> 00:02:48,167
Professor Louis got
a lot to say, I hear.

75
00:02:49,937 --> 00:02:52,237
Listen, we'll hang out
tomorrow night, okay?

76
00:02:52,273 --> 00:02:54,072
Let's go go-kart racing.

77
00:02:54,975 --> 00:02:56,475
-The loser buys dinner.
-Bet.

78
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,310
Which means you gon' buy dinner.

79
00:02:58,345 --> 00:02:59,945
No, that's gonna be you.

80
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:01,980
That's... All right, I'm about
to buy the tickets right now.

81
00:03:02,016 --> 00:03:03,248
All right.

82
00:03:03,284 --> 00:03:05,350
I know you
a broke college student and all

83
00:03:05,386 --> 00:03:06,919
so I got you, sis.

84
00:03:29,443 --> 00:03:32,110
And the warrior
is beating Harley.

85
00:03:32,146 --> 00:03:33,812
This match could be over soon.

86
00:03:34,215 --> 00:03:36,114
What's this?
We have a change of events.

87
00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:39,184
Harley's climbing the ropes
and he's gonna jump.

88
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:41,954
Boom! The crowd goes wild!

89
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:46,825
-Hey, Miranda.
-Hey.

90
00:03:47,294 --> 00:03:49,328
-Hi, Mom.
-Hi, baby.

91
00:03:49,363 --> 00:03:52,464
It's so good to see you.

92
00:03:52,499 --> 00:03:53,799
You having fun?

93
00:03:53,834 --> 00:03:54,900
Well, I mean, it sounded

94
00:03:54,935 --> 00:03:56,101
like a whole wrestling match
in here,

95
00:03:56,136 --> 00:03:57,469
so I figured
I'd join in the fun.

96
00:03:57,504 --> 00:03:59,471
You know Christian.
He's playing with his toys.

97
00:03:59,506 --> 00:04:00,906
You know how they are
at this age.

98
00:04:00,941 --> 00:04:04,176
Oh, I guess Christian was
calling the matches too then?

99
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:07,779
Who won, huh?
Was it Harley? Was it Warrior?

100
00:04:07,815 --> 00:04:09,314
Okay, see, you don't
have to buy a ticket

101
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:10,549
to figure out
the answer to that.

102
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:11,783
-[Miranda]<i> Mm-hmm.</i>
-But, wait,

103
00:04:11,819 --> 00:04:14,052
I wasn't expecting you
for another two hours.

104
00:04:14,088 --> 00:04:15,587
I know, okay.

105
00:04:15,623 --> 00:04:16,955
Hey, baby, listen.

106
00:04:16,991 --> 00:04:18,790
I need to talk to Daddy
for a second, okay?

107
00:04:18,826 --> 00:04:21,026
Can you go in the room
and put your things together?

108
00:04:21,061 --> 00:04:22,494
-Okay.
-Okay, go ahead.

109
00:04:24,365 --> 00:04:26,298
-So what's up?
-Okay, Calvin,

110
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:28,634
I just got
some life-changing news.

111
00:04:28,669 --> 00:04:30,235
Oh, let me guess.

112
00:04:30,271 --> 00:04:31,903
You realized all the pain
and suffering

113
00:04:31,939 --> 00:04:33,205
you put me through,

114
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,773
and now you would like
to pay me alimony?

115
00:04:34,808 --> 00:04:35,974
Hell no.

116
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:39,945
Would you even take alimony
from you ex-wife.

117
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:41,880
Hell yeah.

118
00:04:41,915 --> 00:04:43,815
Green is a gender-neutral color

119
00:04:43,851 --> 00:04:46,084
and this is a generation
of equality,

120
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,352
but, anyway...

121
00:04:47,388 --> 00:04:49,788
-So what's the good news?
-Okay.

122
00:04:50,858 --> 00:04:52,524
Drum roll, please.

123
00:04:54,228 --> 00:04:55,794
I am being considered

124
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:58,897
to be the next vice president
of marketing

125
00:04:58,932 --> 00:05:01,066
for the Allen Commercial
Real Estate Group.

126
00:05:01,101 --> 00:05:02,467
-Me.
-Oh, my God.

127
00:05:02,503 --> 00:05:04,936
Miranda, that's great.
Congratulations.

128
00:05:05,739 --> 00:05:08,040
But you know what?
You deserve it.

129
00:05:08,075 --> 00:05:11,677
Can I just say thank you
for always supporting me.

130
00:05:11,712 --> 00:05:14,479
You know, this has been
a dream of mine for so long

131
00:05:14,515 --> 00:05:16,515
and it's so close
to being a reality.

132
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:18,417
Hey, it will be a reality.

133
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:20,852
So, anyway, where in Atlanta
is this?

134
00:05:20,888 --> 00:05:22,854
Uh, Buckhead, Cumberland?

135
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:24,256
Little further.

136
00:05:24,291 --> 00:05:27,926
-Marietta, Kennesaw?
-Further.

137
00:05:27,961 --> 00:05:30,462
Damn, they got you
in the outskirts.

138
00:05:30,497 --> 00:05:32,197
That's gonna be a lot
of gas money and I'm not...

139
00:05:32,232 --> 00:05:33,732
Near Houston.

140
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:35,867
Houston's?
Oh, man, that ain't far.

141
00:05:35,903 --> 00:05:37,969
That's right there on Peachtree.
I love that restaurant.

142
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:41,873
No. This job, this promotion,

143
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:45,177
would require me
to move to Houston, Texas.

144
00:05:46,647 --> 00:05:49,548
I'm ready, Mom. Bye, Dad.

145
00:05:49,583 --> 00:05:50,816
Hey.

146
00:05:53,721 --> 00:05:54,920
I know.

147
00:05:54,955 --> 00:05:56,822
He's probably the best professor
I've had so far.

148
00:05:57,291 --> 00:05:58,390
He treats us like adults

149
00:05:58,425 --> 00:06:00,492
and challenges us
on so many levels.

150
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:02,060
Jazzy, grab you a plate.

151
00:06:02,096 --> 00:06:05,731
I cooked some eggs,
and some corn-beef hash,

152
00:06:05,766 --> 00:06:07,966
and some bacon, some toast.

153
00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:09,634
-[Jazmine]<i> Uh-huh.</i>
-Get you some nourishment.

154
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:11,970
Okay, I'ma call you back later.

155
00:06:12,005 --> 00:06:13,338
All right.

156
00:06:13,374 --> 00:06:16,274
Dad, I don't eat swine.
It's unclean meat.

157
00:06:18,078 --> 00:06:19,611
"Swine"?

158
00:06:19,646 --> 00:06:21,813
When did you stop eating pork?

159
00:06:22,082 --> 00:06:23,949
Jazzy, you know you love bacon.

160
00:06:23,984 --> 00:06:26,118
-Are you feeling all right?
-I'm fine.

161
00:06:26,153 --> 00:06:27,652
It's just Professor Louis said

162
00:06:27,688 --> 00:06:29,955
our bodies weren't designed
to be eating unclean animals

163
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:32,357
such as pigs,
and I tend to agree with him.

164
00:06:32,393 --> 00:06:35,293
I mean, it's so high in sodium,
it's probably one of the reasons

165
00:06:35,329 --> 00:06:37,095
why African-Americans
have high blood pressure.

166
00:06:37,131 --> 00:06:39,898
We gotta start breaking
these generational curses.

167
00:06:42,803 --> 00:06:45,871
-You do have a point there.
-Look at you,

168
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:47,806
sitting there,
smacking on that bacon.

169
00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:50,208
You have no idea
what it's doing to your body.

170
00:06:50,644 --> 00:06:52,310
Destroying you
from the inside out.

171
00:06:52,346 --> 00:06:54,546
It's okay. Just ignorant.

172
00:06:56,183 --> 00:06:57,616
I'm ignorant?

173
00:06:57,651 --> 00:06:59,184
Just a little bit.

174
00:06:59,219 --> 00:07:01,453
Ignorance is greasy sometimes.

175
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:03,889
Anyway, he teaches anthropology,
Dad,

176
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:07,159
he's so intelligent,
and he cares about the students.

177
00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:09,327
He's pretty wise.

178
00:07:10,063 --> 00:07:11,263
I love you guys.

179
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:15,500
Uh, love, love you too.

180
00:07:17,571 --> 00:07:19,871
-Malik. How is Jazmine?
-Uh-huh.

181
00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:22,774
I haven't seen her
since she's been home.

182
00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:25,844
Yeah, I live with her
and I still don't even see her.

183
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:27,345
She's always just hanging out
with her friends.

184
00:07:27,381 --> 00:07:29,347
I mean, she might as well
just go back to college.

185
00:07:29,383 --> 00:07:32,017
Look, Jazmine is grown-up now.

186
00:07:32,052 --> 00:07:33,552
She got better things to do

187
00:07:33,587 --> 00:07:35,720
than waste her time sitting
around the house with y'all.

188
00:07:35,756 --> 00:07:38,924
Ella, especially you,
at your age.

189
00:07:40,093 --> 00:07:41,860
At my age?

190
00:07:42,162 --> 00:07:44,930
You are not
a spring chicken yourself.

191
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:47,065
No, give or take a couple years

192
00:07:47,568 --> 00:07:49,201
and carry the one.

193
00:07:50,871 --> 00:07:53,238
Carry the one?

194
00:07:53,273 --> 00:07:55,607
Simple math, baby. Simple math.

195
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:56,675
Yes, Curtis.

196
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:58,510
-Ella.
-Yes, Curtis.

197
00:07:58,545 --> 00:08:00,879
Baby, come on now.
You didn't toast my bread.

198
00:08:01,415 --> 00:08:03,882
Snap, snap. Do this.

199
00:08:03,917 --> 00:08:05,984
-Okay. All right.
-Can you toast mine too?

200
00:08:06,019 --> 00:08:07,619
-I sure can.
-Thank you.

201
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:09,521
'Cause I'm the king.

202
00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:12,524
Hey, y'all seen Jazzy?
I'm checking up on her.

203
00:08:13,427 --> 00:08:15,060
Would you leave that girl alone?

204
00:08:15,095 --> 00:08:16,561
What wrong with y'all?

205
00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:18,864
Leave her alone. She don't need
you checking up on her.

206
00:08:18,899 --> 00:08:21,099
She'll call you
if she needs you.

207
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:22,667
Good Lord.

208
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:24,536
Aunty,

209
00:08:24,571 --> 00:08:27,072
can I get a sandwich too,
but can you toast my bread?

210
00:08:28,475 --> 00:08:30,308
Pah, pah, pah. I sure can.

211
00:08:31,245 --> 00:08:33,512
I sure can toast your bread.

212
00:08:33,547 --> 00:08:35,413
That bread
better not come toasted.

213
00:08:36,783 --> 00:08:39,584
-I sure can toast it...
-I hope that bread...

214
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:41,353
Next time.

215
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:45,223
Toasted yours
like she toasted ours.

216
00:08:45,893 --> 00:08:48,894
You know what? Jazzy's probably
with that professor.

217
00:08:48,929 --> 00:08:50,328
What professor?

218
00:08:50,364 --> 00:08:52,831
Some young, cool professor

219
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,833
she's just
going on and on about.

220
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:57,102
Got Dad all jealous and stuff.

221
00:08:57,137 --> 00:08:58,603
I am not jealous.

222
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:00,906
I'm just trying to see
who this professor is

223
00:09:00,941 --> 00:09:03,441
that has all this influence
over my daughter.

224
00:09:03,477 --> 00:09:05,377
You know,
she don't eat bacon no more.

225
00:09:08,815 --> 00:09:10,649
-The shame.
-You know, Uncle Curtis,

226
00:09:10,684 --> 00:09:12,183
when did you become
so understanding?

227
00:09:12,219 --> 00:09:14,252
Back in the day,
you would've had my back.

228
00:09:14,288 --> 00:09:16,721
Yeah, I've been praying
about that thing.

229
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:20,759
Curtis, when is the last time
you prayed?

230
00:09:21,662 --> 00:09:24,062
I prayed this morning, Ella.

231
00:09:24,831 --> 00:09:25,931
I prayed and asked the Good Lord

232
00:09:25,966 --> 00:09:28,033
for the winning
Lottery ticket numbers,

233
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:29,935
and he gave them to me.

234
00:09:31,004 --> 00:09:34,072
Which reminds me,
you gotta play to win.

235
00:09:34,741 --> 00:09:36,207
So I'll be back.

236
00:09:37,077 --> 00:09:39,244
-Scooch, scooch, scooch.
-C.J.

237
00:09:40,314 --> 00:09:42,681
Why don't you
just invite him to dinner?

238
00:09:42,716 --> 00:09:43,982
I can cook

239
00:09:44,017 --> 00:09:46,217
and what way, you can get
a chance to meet him.

240
00:09:46,253 --> 00:09:47,819
That's a good idea.

241
00:09:47,854 --> 00:09:49,354
I'll talk to Jazmine

242
00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:51,456
so if we can see if we can
invite him over tomorrow night.

243
00:09:55,562 --> 00:09:58,563
-[knocking on door]
-Come in.

244
00:10:00,167 --> 00:10:02,300
-Hey.
-Hey.

245
00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:07,072
Calvin, I know,
last time I was here,

246
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:08,773
I dropped a bombshell on you.

247
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:11,109
And I'm sorry for that.

248
00:10:11,144 --> 00:10:14,646
But I'm not sorry
for considering this position.

249
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:17,382
Why can't you support me?

250
00:10:18,018 --> 00:10:21,152
Miranda, I do support you. I do.

251
00:10:21,188 --> 00:10:23,521
But what I don't support
is you taking Christian

252
00:10:23,557 --> 00:10:25,023
800 miles from me.

253
00:10:25,058 --> 00:10:26,658
Calvin.

254
00:10:29,496 --> 00:10:33,898
If we were still married,
things would be different,

255
00:10:33,934 --> 00:10:35,867
but we're not.

256
00:10:35,902 --> 00:10:40,238
You have Laura
and your whole life is here.

257
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:45,577
Calvin, can't you see
that I need a new beginning?

258
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,781
We're gonna have to work
together on this.

259
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,449
We have to

260
00:10:51,485 --> 00:10:56,955
because I'm doing what's best
for my career and our son.

261
00:10:58,125 --> 00:11:00,759
What's best for our son
is him being near his father.

262
00:11:01,028 --> 00:11:02,894
Calvin.

263
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:05,797
I hear you.

264
00:11:05,832 --> 00:11:07,932
I promise you, I do.

265
00:11:08,502 --> 00:11:10,702
And, and, and trust me.

266
00:11:10,737 --> 00:11:13,838
I am not doing this to hurt you.

267
00:11:13,874 --> 00:11:15,206
I promise.

268
00:11:15,242 --> 00:11:17,108
But you have to understand

269
00:11:17,144 --> 00:11:22,447
that people co-parent
from a distance all the time.

270
00:11:22,482 --> 00:11:24,115
It's not abnormal.

271
00:11:24,317 --> 00:11:25,950
He's seven.

272
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,721
I'm not trying to raise him
through the phone.

273
00:11:31,058 --> 00:11:32,724
Miranda, I'm begging you.

274
00:11:33,293 --> 00:11:35,627
Don't take my son from me.

275
00:11:41,601 --> 00:11:43,835
-Okay.
-Too much fat.

276
00:11:45,338 --> 00:11:47,405
Too much sodium.

277
00:11:48,308 --> 00:11:50,275
Mm, too greasy.

278
00:11:50,544 --> 00:11:52,343
Jazmine.

279
00:11:52,379 --> 00:11:55,013
Baby, wouldn't you rather go do

280
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:57,849
whatever it is
that people your age do?

281
00:11:57,884 --> 00:12:01,453
Go make one
of them tic-tac videos, baby.

282
00:12:02,022 --> 00:12:03,521
Aunty, we just gotta be
more cognizant

283
00:12:03,557 --> 00:12:05,090
of what we're putting
in our bodies.

284
00:12:05,125 --> 00:12:07,192
-Okay?
-Yes, ma'am.

285
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:09,360
[Ella] We will be more cognizant

286
00:12:09,396 --> 00:12:12,197
of what we put in our bodies.

287
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:13,832
No, Aunty.

288
00:12:14,601 --> 00:12:17,102
-Are those ribs?
-Yes, they are ribs.

289
00:12:17,137 --> 00:12:18,203
-Okay.
-This cut is...

290
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:19,537
You can put those right on back.

291
00:12:19,573 --> 00:12:22,107
We don't eat pork.
We don't do that.

292
00:12:22,142 --> 00:12:23,942
Do you have salmon?

293
00:12:23,977 --> 00:12:26,878
-Uh, yes.
-Okay.

294
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:29,114
-Close that back.
-All righty then.

295
00:12:29,883 --> 00:12:34,385
So are there any other
dietary restrictions

296
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:36,621
I should know about?

297
00:12:37,758 --> 00:12:39,190
Well, since you asked,

298
00:12:40,393 --> 00:12:41,826
please don't make

299
00:12:41,862 --> 00:12:45,463
any of that diabolical
diabetic tea you always make.

300
00:12:45,499 --> 00:12:48,967
Okay, we will be drinking
alkaline water tonight.

301
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:55,039
This teacher
must be something special.

302
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:56,808
-No, don't do that, Aunty.

303
00:12:56,843 --> 00:12:58,276
-Uh-huh, uh-huh.
-It's not a big deal, okay?

304
00:12:58,311 --> 00:13:00,845
He's just open-minded.
That's it.

305
00:13:00,881 --> 00:13:03,381
And I didn't realize
how close-minded I was.

306
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:04,682
He's a renaissance man.

307
00:13:04,718 --> 00:13:06,985
Well, Curtis
is a renaissance man.

308
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:09,154
Well, he was a renaissance man,

309
00:13:09,189 --> 00:13:12,557
but now he's just Curtis.

310
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,225
Speaking of Uncle Curtis,

311
00:13:14,261 --> 00:13:16,928
please tell him
not to crack jokes tonight.

312
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:18,596
You know he likes couth, Aunty,

313
00:13:18,632 --> 00:13:20,431
and I do not want
to be embarrassed.

314
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:22,433
Well, Jazmine, now you know
your uncle.

315
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:26,571
He has a mind
and a mouth of his own.

316
00:13:26,606 --> 00:13:28,973
He does not have a filter.

317
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:30,308
That's true.

318
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:31,776
Why don't you take him
that rack of ribs

319
00:13:31,812 --> 00:13:33,678
and tell him to stay at home?

320
00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:40,685
You know what, Jazmine?
It is okay to change.

321
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,353
It is. It's okay.

322
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:43,855
You in your twenties.

323
00:13:44,391 --> 00:13:46,858
And your twenties are all about

324
00:13:46,893 --> 00:13:48,793
discovering who you are,

325
00:13:48,829 --> 00:13:51,396
your likes and your dislikes.

326
00:13:52,299 --> 00:13:54,199
But, baby, just make sure

327
00:13:54,234 --> 00:13:57,468
that your choices
are based on you

328
00:13:57,504 --> 00:14:02,307
and not somebody else's
influence on you.

329
00:14:03,610 --> 00:14:04,776
Mm-hmm?

330
00:14:04,811 --> 00:14:07,178
Professor Louis told me
the same thing.

331
00:14:07,647 --> 00:14:09,480
-Jazmine.
-[chuckling]

332
00:14:09,783 --> 00:14:11,950
-I hear you, Aunty.
-[chuckling]

333
00:14:13,253 --> 00:14:15,053
I hope you do.

334
00:14:17,691 --> 00:14:20,592
[doorbell ringing]

335
00:14:20,627 --> 00:14:23,094
Daddy, Daddy, I got it.
It's all good, I got it.

336
00:14:23,129 --> 00:14:24,362
I got it.

337
00:14:24,798 --> 00:14:27,432
-Jazmine. Hey. Good evening.
-What's good, Louis?

338
00:14:27,467 --> 00:14:29,968
You must be Professor Louis.

339
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:31,569
Thanks for coming.

340
00:14:31,605 --> 00:14:34,205
Nice to meet you, sir.
I'm C.J., Jazmine's father.

341
00:14:34,241 --> 00:14:35,506
Thank you so much
for the invitation.

342
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:37,308
And, please, just call me Louis.

343
00:14:37,344 --> 00:14:40,111
Oh, "Louis"? I thought
that was your last name.

344
00:14:40,146 --> 00:14:43,114
I prefer my students call me
by my first name.

345
00:14:43,817 --> 00:14:45,617
Well, that's kind of personal.
I mean...

346
00:14:45,652 --> 00:14:47,318
-Daddy. Daddy, Daddy.
-When I was at school...

347
00:14:47,354 --> 00:14:48,953
You know, you had respect
for the teachers.

348
00:14:48,989 --> 00:14:52,190
Come on now. Leave him alone.
It's all good.

349
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:53,691
This is my Uncle Curtis.

350
00:14:53,727 --> 00:14:55,326
What's up?

351
00:14:56,897 --> 00:14:59,030
-Give me your jacket.
-Okay.

352
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:02,200
Thank you so much, Uncle Curtis.

353
00:15:05,372 --> 00:15:08,339
-Anything sharp in your pockets?
-Uncle Curtis.

354
00:15:08,375 --> 00:15:10,708
What you doing? Uncle Curtis.
Uncle Curtis, stop!

355
00:15:10,744 --> 00:15:12,343
What?

356
00:15:12,379 --> 00:15:14,245
Ain't nobody know this man.

357
00:15:14,281 --> 00:15:16,214
Okay, I trust and verify.

358
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:17,849
I watch<i> 36 Hours</i> .

359
00:15:18,718 --> 00:15:19,817
He good, C.J.

360
00:15:19,853 --> 00:15:22,353
We good. Okay, everybody,
let's eat.

361
00:15:24,658 --> 00:15:27,926
You must be the professor.

362
00:15:27,961 --> 00:15:30,361
Jazmine speaks so highly of you.

363
00:15:30,397 --> 00:15:31,696
I'm Mrs. Ella.

364
00:15:31,731 --> 00:15:35,099
And you are too young
to be a professor.

365
00:15:35,135 --> 00:15:37,435
Yes, nice to meet you. I'm 32.

366
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:40,371
And you are far more beautiful
than Jazmine had described.

367
00:15:40,407 --> 00:15:43,808
-"Far more"?
-And this food, mm, smells good.

368
00:15:43,843 --> 00:15:46,577
-Come on, come on.
-Yeah, my baby can throw down.

369
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:48,980
She fixed me one meal
and I never left.

370
00:15:49,015 --> 00:15:51,916
Come on, come on, everyone,
sit down, have a seat.

371
00:15:51,952 --> 00:15:54,085
Got you on this side of Jazmine.

372
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,287
Baby, you know where you...
C.J., you okay?

373
00:15:56,323 --> 00:15:58,289
-Mm, yes. Yes, ma'am.
-C.J.

374
00:15:58,325 --> 00:16:00,024
You okay?

375
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:05,430
-Hey. This is my brother, Malik.
-Hey, Malik.

376
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,901
Boy, where's your manners.
You see we have guests.

377
00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:11,102
Hello, guest.

378
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:16,708
-You are such a disease.
-I know.

379
00:16:16,743 --> 00:16:19,811
Okay, right,
and you have salmon.

380
00:16:19,846 --> 00:16:22,613
-Thank you, Aunty.
-That's great, that's great.

381
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:26,017
And, baby, here, you have
a rack of ribs.

382
00:16:26,052 --> 00:16:28,286
-Thank you, baby.
-You're welcome.

383
00:16:29,222 --> 00:16:31,155
Okay, all right, now, let's see.

384
00:16:31,191 --> 00:16:33,958
-This is this and this is this.
-Looks good.

385
00:16:33,994 --> 00:16:36,761
So how long you been teaching?

386
00:16:36,796 --> 00:16:38,863
For about five years now.

387
00:16:38,898 --> 00:16:43,501
Okay, I'm sorry. I don't mean
to be rude, but, yes, I do.

388
00:16:43,536 --> 00:16:45,636
Can we please say grace
so I can eat,

389
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:48,940
'cause my blood sugar
is low, Ella?

390
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:52,443
-You so simple. You so simple.
-It's low, Ella!

391
00:16:52,479 --> 00:16:54,879
All right, please,
everyone, bow your heads

392
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:56,647
for grace.

393
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:58,649
I want to take a hiatus
from college.

394
00:16:58,685 --> 00:17:00,151
What?

395
00:17:01,321 --> 00:17:02,954
Go ahead, Aunty.

396
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:05,623
-You wanna do what?
-[Jazmine]<i> Dad,</i>

397
00:17:05,658 --> 00:17:07,558
I really want
to travel the world

398
00:17:07,594 --> 00:17:09,694
and figure out what I wanna do.

399
00:17:09,729 --> 00:17:11,662
Jazmine, you are
not dropping out.

400
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:13,631
You gonna finish
what you started

401
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:15,233
and this feeling will pass.

402
00:17:15,268 --> 00:17:16,834
Professor, you gonna have to
excuse my daughter.

403
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:19,370
-She's tripping.
-Oh, no, no, it's okay.

404
00:17:19,406 --> 00:17:20,805
I actually agree with Jazmine.

405
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,541
Wait, you agree?

406
00:17:23,576 --> 00:17:26,344
You are supposed to be
encouraging her

407
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:29,047
to stay the course.

408
00:17:29,082 --> 00:17:30,515
Malik, can you toss me
a roll, please?

409
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:33,751
Look, I encourage my students
to follow their intuition.

410
00:17:34,087 --> 00:17:36,587
Life is about self-discovery.

411
00:17:36,623 --> 00:17:38,523
If she feels
she needs to step away

412
00:17:38,558 --> 00:17:40,658
and find out
what she really wants,

413
00:17:40,693 --> 00:17:42,026
I support it.

414
00:17:42,062 --> 00:17:44,128
College isn't
a guaranteed success.

415
00:17:44,631 --> 00:17:48,032
As her father, I'm telling her
that college is necessary.

416
00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:50,568
And I don't appreciate
her professor

417
00:17:50,603 --> 00:17:52,236
encouraging her to drop out.

418
00:17:52,272 --> 00:17:54,939
Look, success is relative, okay?

419
00:17:54,974 --> 00:17:57,208
Jazmine is one
of my brightest students.

420
00:17:57,243 --> 00:17:58,709
And I encourage
all of my students

421
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:00,445
to be well-rounded thinkers.

422
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,846
Right, I just don't see
the point

423
00:18:01,881 --> 00:18:03,614
of wasting time and money

424
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:05,049
when I haven't even figured out

425
00:18:05,085 --> 00:18:07,351
what I want to do
with my life yet, you know?

426
00:18:07,387 --> 00:18:09,687
I thought you wanted to be
a psychologist.

427
00:18:09,722 --> 00:18:12,390
Well, I do love helping people
with their problems,

428
00:18:12,425 --> 00:18:13,858
especially when it comes
to mental health,

429
00:18:13,893 --> 00:18:16,861
but I also love photography,
Dad.

430
00:18:16,896 --> 00:18:18,930
-It brings me joy.
-Listen,

431
00:18:18,965 --> 00:18:20,465
I respect it.

432
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:21,666
You're young.

433
00:18:21,701 --> 00:18:23,568
I wanted to be
a district attorney,

434
00:18:23,603 --> 00:18:25,236
give young people
a second chance,

435
00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:26,904
but there was so much red tape

436
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:30,475
that I decided that it was
more beneficial to educate them.

437
00:18:30,510 --> 00:18:33,978
My career path has changed
multiple times.

438
00:18:34,447 --> 00:18:37,248
Well, I don't appreciate you

439
00:18:37,283 --> 00:18:39,250
encouraging her
to drop out of school.

440
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:41,586
Dad, this was my idea.

441
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:43,821
This is what I want, okay?
Give me some credit.

442
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:44,989
You know I can think for myself.

443
00:18:45,024 --> 00:18:46,424
[Louis]<i> Look, I speak my truth,</i>

444
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:49,560
But I will never push
my beliefs off on my students.

445
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:51,929
I'm here to challenge
their thinking

446
00:18:51,965 --> 00:18:53,965
and help them
to discover themselves.

447
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,768
Look, not everyone thinks
the same,

448
00:18:57,804 --> 00:19:00,404
and life is about evolving.

449
00:19:01,541 --> 00:19:04,942
Jazzy, I want to apologize for
how I was acting towards you.

450
00:19:04,978 --> 00:19:08,112
I should've
just communicated better.

451
00:19:09,315 --> 00:19:11,048
I actually support your choice.

452
00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:16,587
"But he knew
that all the gold in the world

453
00:19:16,623 --> 00:19:18,089
would never be enough.

454
00:19:18,124 --> 00:19:19,557
[Calvin]<i> Only love</i>

455
00:19:19,592 --> 00:19:21,225
<i> can make the sun shine</i>
<i> across the forest</i>

456
00:19:21,261 --> 00:19:23,060
<i> and break the evil curse.</i>

457
00:19:23,363 --> 00:19:25,229
The end."

458
00:19:25,265 --> 00:19:29,567
Man, you always fall asleep
before I finish.

459
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:34,305
-Hey.
-Hey.

460
00:19:39,379 --> 00:19:41,712
I decided not to take the job
in Houston.

461
00:19:43,483 --> 00:19:46,651
Miranda, I can't let you
turn down your dream.

462
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:48,686
-I'm willing to...
-Listen,

463
00:19:48,888 --> 00:19:52,857
Christian, he's my dream.

464
00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:56,460
And I was able to negotiate
a promotion

465
00:19:56,496 --> 00:19:57,862
at the midtown office,

466
00:19:57,897 --> 00:20:02,166
but, oof, it's definitely not
that VP money, child.

467
00:20:02,802 --> 00:20:05,369
Wait, what made you
change your mind?

468
00:20:05,672 --> 00:20:06,837
Look, I would've supported you

469
00:20:06,873 --> 00:20:09,340
even if I didn't want you
to move.

470
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:10,875
I know.

471
00:20:12,145 --> 00:20:14,845
And that's what changed
my mind..

472
00:20:15,515 --> 00:20:19,383
Christian, our son,

473
00:20:20,353 --> 00:20:25,890
deserves to be near
his amazing father.

474
00:20:29,429 --> 00:20:32,163
I mean, the truth is
there are so many men out there

475
00:20:32,198 --> 00:20:35,933
who don't acknowledge their kid,
let alone make time for them.

476
00:20:36,769 --> 00:20:38,836
Christian's blessed to have you.

477
00:20:38,871 --> 00:20:41,305
And he's blessed
to have you too.

478
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:43,975
Thank you.

479
00:20:45,812 --> 00:20:47,245
You're welcome.

480
00:20:50,550 --> 00:20:52,316
Look at our big boy.

481
00:20:56,623 --> 00:20:59,957
