00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,070
[music]

2
00:00:04,537 --> 00:00:05,538
Baby.

3
00:00:05,538 --> 00:00:09,909
Ooh, Curtis, pshew,
not now, baby.

4
00:00:09,909 --> 00:00:11,044
I need some lemonade
or something

5
00:00:11,044 --> 00:00:12,212
to take this aspirin.

6
00:00:12,212 --> 00:00:14,114
What's wrong, baby?
You got a headache?

7
00:00:15,648 --> 00:00:16,716
Yes.

8
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:20,387
Squinting at that doggone
little TV in there.

9
00:00:20,387 --> 00:00:21,621
That thing is so small,

10
00:00:21,621 --> 00:00:23,890
feeling like I'm watching ants
play football.

11
00:00:23,890 --> 00:00:26,292
Curtis, that TV is not that bad.

12
00:00:26,593 --> 00:00:28,928
Tell that
to my throbbing eyeballs.

13
00:00:29,195 --> 00:00:31,664
[Ella exhaling loudly]

14
00:00:32,432 --> 00:00:34,367
Look here, when are those
crispy crowns

15
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:36,469
gonna get out
of my living room, Ella?

16
00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:39,706
The Incomparable Crows,
Curtis, please?

17
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:42,809
Don't talk about the ladies
of my social club like that.

18
00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:46,045
What, "ladies"?
More like cluckling hens.

19
00:00:46,045 --> 00:00:47,313
Cluck, cluck, cluck.

20
00:00:47,614 --> 00:00:49,349
You know, with this heat,
Curtis,

21
00:00:49,349 --> 00:00:52,118
I would say
more like fried hens.

22
00:00:52,118 --> 00:00:53,720
That's a good one.

23
00:00:54,287 --> 00:00:57,791
So, please, the next time
you get it in your mind

24
00:00:58,224 --> 00:01:00,360
to "fix" the thermostat,

25
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,829
please do me a favor and don't.

26
00:01:03,696 --> 00:01:05,632
Why you act
like it was my fault?

27
00:01:05,632 --> 00:01:07,634
Mm, well, let's see.

28
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:09,169
You touched it

29
00:01:09,169 --> 00:01:11,671
and it became
an ice box in here.

30
00:01:11,671 --> 00:01:13,773
You touched it again

31
00:01:13,773 --> 00:01:16,009
and it became a sauna.

32
00:01:16,543 --> 00:01:18,344
Baby, didn't you say you always
wanted one of those?

33
00:01:20,213 --> 00:01:22,348
No, no, no. Curtis.

34
00:01:22,348 --> 00:01:25,285
Okay, look, I'll go look
at the little thermostat again.

35
00:01:25,285 --> 00:01:27,687
No, no, no, you will do
no such thing.

36
00:01:27,687 --> 00:01:29,155
A repairman is coming.

37
00:01:29,155 --> 00:01:30,323
A repairman?

38
00:01:30,323 --> 00:01:32,058
What a repairman have
that I don't have?

39
00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:35,128
Expertise, Curtis. Okay?

40
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:37,397
Now, if you wanna help,

41
00:01:37,397 --> 00:01:39,466
go in there, baby,
and undo that door.

42
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:41,968
-Door stuck again?
-[Ella]<i> Yes, it's stuck again.</i>

43
00:01:41,968 --> 00:01:43,336
I'll get it.

44
00:01:45,271 --> 00:01:49,976
Ella, if I had known this was
gonna be a luau,

45
00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:51,611
I'd worn a swimsuit.

46
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:55,048
Uh, you will not be
freeing willy in my house.

47
00:01:55,048 --> 00:01:57,450
Curtis. Bye-bye.

48
00:01:57,450 --> 00:01:58,618
Ooh, God.

49
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:01,588
How are the ladies,
how are the ladies doing?

50
00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:02,889
[scoffs]

51
00:02:02,889 --> 00:02:06,159
They said their hot flashes
are having hot flashes.

52
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:10,563
Child, Sister Baker has removed
both her crown and her wig.

53
00:02:10,563 --> 00:02:11,865
No!

54
00:02:11,865 --> 00:02:13,666
They're doing fine, Ella.

55
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:15,034
Just thirsty.

56
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:17,370
Oh, Lord, I think I may take
a page

57
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:18,838
out of Sister Baker's book.

58
00:02:18,838 --> 00:02:20,507
Yeah, maybe I need to too.

59
00:02:20,507 --> 00:02:21,941
Just for a little moment.

60
00:02:22,242 --> 00:02:23,610
Oh, my goodness.

61
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:25,378
Ooh, Lord. Ooh.

62
00:02:25,378 --> 00:02:26,746
I'm doing all right.

63
00:02:26,746 --> 00:02:28,047
Remember, I'm from Miami

64
00:02:28,047 --> 00:02:30,016
where heat is a constant.

65
00:02:30,016 --> 00:02:31,618
-Oh, okay.
-[Ella]<i> Is that right?</i>

66
00:02:31,618 --> 00:02:34,721
Okay, baby, I got it.
Got the door unstuck.

67
00:02:34,721 --> 00:02:35,889
Thank you.

68
00:02:35,889 --> 00:02:37,390
And thank God

69
00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:39,792
'cause your old lady friends
have started taking off layers

70
00:02:39,792 --> 00:02:42,862
and smells like a mothball
convention in there.

71
00:02:43,863 --> 00:02:45,965
[ladies grumbling]

72
00:02:45,965 --> 00:02:47,267
Curtis.

73
00:02:47,267 --> 00:02:48,468
I'll go get the other one.

74
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:49,936
No, don't go back in there.

75
00:02:51,997 --> 00:02:58,137
[music]

76
00:03:16,255 --> 00:03:17,723
[Janine] Okay, I get it.

77
00:03:17,723 --> 00:03:19,892
I have looked everywhere and I
just can't find the matches,

78
00:03:19,892 --> 00:03:23,228
so since they wear mismatch
socks on purpose anyway,

79
00:03:23,228 --> 00:03:25,264
we're just gonna save them
a little bit of time.

80
00:03:26,632 --> 00:03:27,900
[Reporter]<i> The mayor has
responded</i>

81
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:30,102
<i>to falling standards
in the school district</i>

82
00:03:30,102 --> 00:03:32,204
<i>and he's calling
for more oversight.</i>

83
00:03:32,204 --> 00:03:33,906
<i>Here's a list
of the schools cited.</i>

84
00:03:34,273 --> 00:03:36,775
Hey, you know, the twins' school
is on that list.

85
00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:39,244
Wait, what the heck?

86
00:03:39,678 --> 00:03:41,980
Their school is at
the top of the charts.

87
00:03:41,980 --> 00:03:43,148
What happened?

88
00:03:43,148 --> 00:03:44,483
Oh, you know, there was
that big mix-up

89
00:03:44,483 --> 00:03:45,751
with the administration.

90
00:03:46,151 --> 00:03:48,253
Yeah, the principal
doing their thing

91
00:03:48,253 --> 00:03:50,689
with the head lunch lady
and the school mascot.

92
00:03:50,689 --> 00:03:53,692
It's a damn shame
what she did to that dog.

93
00:03:54,626 --> 00:03:56,695
That fight was on the top
of the Internet

94
00:03:56,695 --> 00:03:58,330
-for, what, six, six weeks.
-Six weeks.

95
00:03:58,330 --> 00:03:59,665
-Yeah.
-Yeah.

96
00:04:00,432 --> 00:04:01,667
So the twins
haven't mentioned anything

97
00:04:01,667 --> 00:04:02,935
about anything going on
in the school?

98
00:04:02,935 --> 00:04:04,837
No, you know, getting them
to talk about school

99
00:04:04,837 --> 00:04:05,904
is pulling teeth.

100
00:04:05,904 --> 00:04:08,574
Okay. All right.

101
00:04:09,475 --> 00:04:12,678
Hayden, Jayden, come down here.

102
00:04:17,916 --> 00:04:19,384
Have a seat, you two.

103
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,023
So how are things
going on at school?

104
00:04:25,023 --> 00:04:25,991
-Fine.
-Fine.

105
00:04:26,725 --> 00:04:29,361
So, uh,
you haven't heard anything?

106
00:04:29,361 --> 00:04:31,063
No changes? Everything is...

107
00:04:31,063 --> 00:04:32,397
-Fine.
-Fine.

108
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:34,666
Can you two say
anything other than fine?

109
00:04:34,967 --> 00:04:36,368
-Fine.
-Fine.

110
00:04:37,136 --> 00:04:41,039
Okay, so, uh,
we have heard otherwise.

111
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:42,074
Yes.

112
00:04:42,074 --> 00:04:44,409
[overlapping jabbering]

113
00:04:44,409 --> 00:04:46,178
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

114
00:04:46,178 --> 00:04:48,447
Whoa, we just saw a news report

115
00:04:48,447 --> 00:04:51,216
that said that your school
was performing poorly.

116
00:04:51,216 --> 00:04:53,218
And we wanted to know
what you've noticed.

117
00:04:53,786 --> 00:04:57,089
Oh, well, I mean,
school is pretty boring.

118
00:04:57,456 --> 00:04:58,590
It's boring?

119
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:01,093
Yeah, I agree.
We keep having to go over

120
00:05:01,093 --> 00:05:02,294
the same stuff

121
00:05:02,294 --> 00:05:04,329
because the teachers
keep having to stop

122
00:05:04,329 --> 00:05:06,565
and deal with the other kids
acting a fool.

123
00:05:06,999 --> 00:05:08,167
It's not you, right?

124
00:05:08,167 --> 00:05:09,468
Of course not me.

125
00:05:09,468 --> 00:05:11,203
-It's not you.
-No, no, it's not him.

126
00:05:11,203 --> 00:05:12,237
-No.
-Okay.

127
00:05:12,237 --> 00:05:13,772
Yeah, I heard one
of the teachers

128
00:05:13,772 --> 00:05:16,375
say that the new principal
wasn't doing enough

129
00:05:16,375 --> 00:05:17,676
to support the teachers.

130
00:05:17,676 --> 00:05:19,411
A lot of kids
have actually left.

131
00:05:19,411 --> 00:05:20,746
They've left?

132
00:05:20,746 --> 00:05:23,515
Yeah, their parents put them
in a new charter school.

133
00:05:23,515 --> 00:05:25,551
Elite something or other.

134
00:05:25,551 --> 00:05:28,053
Well, babies, why didn't you
say something?

135
00:05:30,422 --> 00:05:32,624
Elite Minds Charter School?

136
00:05:32,624 --> 00:05:34,259
Yeah, they killing the game.

137
00:05:34,259 --> 00:05:36,328
Look, their scores
are off the chart.

138
00:05:36,328 --> 00:05:37,830
Even Oprah tweeted about it.

139
00:05:38,163 --> 00:05:39,998
Dad, our school
has its problems,

140
00:05:39,998 --> 00:05:41,166
but we still love it.

141
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:42,901
We've been going there
since pre-k.

142
00:05:43,402 --> 00:05:45,904
Yeah, that place
is like our second home.

143
00:05:45,904 --> 00:05:47,139
Graffiti and all.

144
00:05:47,506 --> 00:05:49,174
Not anymore.

145
00:05:49,174 --> 00:05:50,242
-Huh?
-Huh?

146
00:05:50,242 --> 00:05:53,078
Yeah, I just put them
on the list

147
00:05:54,413 --> 00:05:55,948
for the lottery

148
00:05:56,582 --> 00:05:58,417
of the Elite Minds School.

149
00:05:58,417 --> 00:05:59,985
Oh, no, no, wait, um...

150
00:06:00,252 --> 00:06:01,386
I like that.

151
00:06:01,386 --> 00:06:02,788
Yeah, no, no. You two stay here.

152
00:06:04,623 --> 00:06:06,458
Thank you all for coming.

153
00:06:06,458 --> 00:06:08,861
Thank you so much. Enjoyed it.

154
00:06:09,328 --> 00:06:12,030
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ladies.

155
00:06:12,831 --> 00:06:15,434
I just finished
all those dishes.

156
00:06:15,434 --> 00:06:18,871
And I think it's time for us
to have a drink.

157
00:06:18,871 --> 00:06:22,307
I'll go get the wine.
[cackling mischievously]

158
00:06:22,307 --> 00:06:24,576
That was not
what I was talking about.

159
00:06:24,576 --> 00:06:26,011
Have a seat, please.

160
00:06:26,612 --> 00:06:28,113
The bible says

161
00:06:28,113 --> 00:06:29,681
do not get drunk on wine

162
00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:31,550
which leads to debauchery.

163
00:06:31,550 --> 00:06:35,053
Instead, be filled
with the spirit.

164
00:06:35,354 --> 00:06:37,389
Spirit? Okay.

165
00:06:37,389 --> 00:06:40,826
Well, I've got vodka, rum,
and tequila too.

166
00:06:41,927 --> 00:06:43,662
I don't think that's what
the bible meant

167
00:06:43,662 --> 00:06:45,731
when it refers to the spirit.

168
00:06:46,331 --> 00:06:47,833
Right.

169
00:06:47,833 --> 00:06:49,401
Fine!

170
00:06:49,401 --> 00:06:51,770
I guess lemonade
will have to do.

171
00:06:52,404 --> 00:06:55,407
Ella, that lemonade is so good.

172
00:06:55,407 --> 00:06:56,675
You have to give me the recipe.

173
00:06:56,675 --> 00:06:58,243
What's that I taste?

174
00:06:58,243 --> 00:06:59,945
Uh, that's my secret ingredient.

175
00:07:00,312 --> 00:07:01,647
Honey, honey.

176
00:07:01,647 --> 00:07:03,081
-Ah.
-[Ella]<i> Yes.</i>

177
00:07:03,081 --> 00:07:05,284
I have to make that
for Bobby sometime.

178
00:07:05,851 --> 00:07:08,553
I will not get used to you
calling him Bobby

179
00:07:08,553 --> 00:07:11,723
because we refer to him
as Deacon Thornton.

180
00:07:12,491 --> 00:07:15,327
Or as I call him,
Deacon Tall, Dark and Handsome.

181
00:07:15,327 --> 00:07:17,696
Gloria. That's her husband.

182
00:07:17,696 --> 00:07:19,731
She know he tall,
dark, and handsome.

183
00:07:19,731 --> 00:07:24,169
Regina, you have to tell Glo
how you all met.

184
00:07:24,169 --> 00:07:25,637
It is so romantic.

185
00:07:25,637 --> 00:07:27,372
Yeah, it was... Is.

186
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,776
Oh, well, now, I like
a good romance, come on with it.

187
00:07:30,776 --> 00:07:32,844
Well, Bobby was in Miami
for the wedding

188
00:07:32,844 --> 00:07:34,613
of his cousin
and my best friend.

189
00:07:34,613 --> 00:07:35,647
We met there.

190
00:07:35,647 --> 00:07:37,115
They were on the dance floor

191
00:07:37,115 --> 00:07:40,185
and their eyes met
across the dance floor.

192
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:42,888
He was so handsome and funny!

193
00:07:42,888 --> 00:07:45,891
He had me laugh
all evening long.

194
00:07:46,625 --> 00:07:49,194
We kept in touch
when he went back to Atlanta.

195
00:07:49,194 --> 00:07:51,763
And he would send me
flowers and chocolates,

196
00:07:51,763 --> 00:07:55,033
and surprise me
with candle-light dinners.

197
00:07:55,033 --> 00:07:56,969
Ooh, yes, Lord!

198
00:07:58,370 --> 00:07:59,671
One day, when he came to visit

199
00:07:59,671 --> 00:08:01,106
and was getting ready
to head back,

200
00:08:01,106 --> 00:08:03,475
he told me that he despised

201
00:08:03,475 --> 00:08:06,912
all the tomorrows
that didn't have me in them.

202
00:08:06,912 --> 00:08:10,749
He said, "Regina, I wanna
have you for my todays,

203
00:08:10,749 --> 00:08:13,452
my tomorrows, my forever."

204
00:08:13,452 --> 00:08:15,454
Yeeh! Yes, yes, yes.

205
00:08:15,454 --> 00:08:18,023
That is a romantic story.

206
00:08:18,023 --> 00:08:20,092
[overlapping chatter]

207
00:08:20,092 --> 00:08:21,560
Wait, hold it. Regina.

208
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,728
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

209
00:08:22,728 --> 00:08:23,895
-You okay?
-I don't know.

210
00:08:23,895 --> 00:08:26,031
Sit back, just sit back,
sit back. Curtis!

211
00:08:26,665 --> 00:08:28,734
Sit back. Curtis!

212
00:08:29,034 --> 00:08:30,669
Just fan her, Glo.

213
00:08:30,669 --> 00:08:33,005
Baby, I don't know,
she's fainting.

214
00:08:33,005 --> 00:08:34,272
What's going on?

215
00:08:34,506 --> 00:08:35,741
What, she caught the Holy Ghost?

216
00:08:36,174 --> 00:08:38,543
Curtis, no, she didn't catch
the Holy Ghost.

217
00:08:38,543 --> 00:08:40,045
No, I think she's overheated.

218
00:08:40,045 --> 00:08:41,613
-[Curtis] What, she need the...
-No, no, no.

219
00:08:41,613 --> 00:08:44,116
-Don't, don't, don't...
-[Curtis] Oh, Gina. Damn.

220
00:08:46,651 --> 00:08:49,488
Are you sure you're okay?

221
00:08:49,488 --> 00:08:51,556
Of course she's not okay, Ella.

222
00:08:52,057 --> 00:08:53,925
Which one of y'all clocked her
in the head?

223
00:08:54,192 --> 00:08:55,794
-Us?
-Uh, Glo, please,

224
00:08:55,794 --> 00:08:57,662
don't pay him any mind.

225
00:08:59,464 --> 00:09:03,068
I just got a bit warm,
but I'm okay now.

226
00:09:04,636 --> 00:09:06,438
This was just a hot flash?

227
00:09:06,872 --> 00:09:10,342
Curtis. Thank you.
You can go back now.

228
00:09:10,342 --> 00:09:11,443
<i>Thank you so much.</i>

229
00:09:11,443 --> 00:09:13,745
Oh, you done with me now?
I can go?

230
00:09:14,613 --> 00:09:16,214
I know there better be some more
lemonade left.

231
00:09:16,214 --> 00:09:18,216
-It's some, baby.
-[Curtis]<i> Thank you, baby.</i>

232
00:09:18,817 --> 00:09:22,020
Oh, this is so embarrassing.

233
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:23,622
-Oh, no, honey.
-[Ella] Hm-hmm. Hm-hmm.

234
00:09:23,622 --> 00:09:25,357
Honey, we're just concerned.

235
00:09:25,357 --> 00:09:27,159
Oh, [scoffs] that?

236
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:29,661
I'm such a klutz. Really.

237
00:09:29,661 --> 00:09:32,197
I was bending over to get
something out of the cabinet

238
00:09:32,197 --> 00:09:33,799
and banged my head. [laughs]

239
00:09:34,166 --> 00:09:36,034
[Gloria and Ella chuckling
sheepishly]

240
00:09:36,034 --> 00:09:37,636
Of course you did.

241
00:09:37,636 --> 00:09:39,671
Right, right, mm-hmm.

242
00:09:39,671 --> 00:09:42,441
Are you sure everything is okay?

243
00:09:42,441 --> 00:09:43,642
Yes.

244
00:09:43,642 --> 00:09:45,977
The lemonade
and the fan really helped.

245
00:09:47,779 --> 00:09:50,248
She means at home, love.

246
00:09:50,515 --> 00:09:51,750
What?

247
00:09:54,219 --> 00:09:55,620
That, egh...

248
00:09:56,288 --> 00:09:57,956
Yes, of course.

249
00:09:57,956 --> 00:10:00,058
Bobby was fussing over me too.

250
00:10:00,058 --> 00:10:01,726
Of course he was.

251
00:10:02,094 --> 00:10:03,261
Yes, he was.

252
00:10:03,261 --> 00:10:07,099
So, just so you know,

253
00:10:07,699 --> 00:10:11,603
Regina, you really can
always tell me

254
00:10:12,437 --> 00:10:13,905
anything.

255
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,075
Thank you, Ella.

256
00:10:17,709 --> 00:10:19,144
And you too, Glo.

257
00:10:19,144 --> 00:10:21,346
It has been really nice
meeting you.

258
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,684
Okay, you sure you're ready
to drive home now?

259
00:10:25,684 --> 00:10:28,386
Yes, there's really no rush.

260
00:10:28,386 --> 00:10:31,823
I'm fine.
I need to be headed home.

261
00:10:32,958 --> 00:10:34,726
Okay. Um.

262
00:10:36,194 --> 00:10:38,063
<i>Your hat. [chuckles]</i>

263
00:10:41,066 --> 00:10:42,501
I'd appreciate it

264
00:10:43,168 --> 00:10:45,437
if you two would keep
this silly bruise business

265
00:10:45,437 --> 00:10:47,139
between yourselves.

266
00:10:49,374 --> 00:10:50,909
-[Gloria] [mumbles].
-Thanks.

267
00:10:53,712 --> 00:10:55,080
See you next time.

268
00:10:57,682 --> 00:10:58,917
I'll call you.

269
00:10:59,718 --> 00:11:01,186
[Gloria]<i> Get home safe.</i>

270
00:11:04,289 --> 00:11:05,657
Are you...

271
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,895
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

272
00:11:10,529 --> 00:11:13,165
That the cabinet
is actually Bobby?

273
00:11:18,670 --> 00:11:21,273
C.J., this is just moving fast.

274
00:11:21,273 --> 00:11:23,208
Yeah, I mean, but it's just
an interview.

275
00:11:23,208 --> 00:11:24,376
They don't have to go.

276
00:11:24,376 --> 00:11:26,044
-We don't?
-Thank goodness.

277
00:11:26,044 --> 00:11:28,747
Hey, hey, hey,
I was talking to your mother.

278
00:11:28,747 --> 00:11:30,315
Why don't you two
give us a moment?

279
00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:31,349
Go sit in the living room.

280
00:11:31,349 --> 00:11:32,851
I'll let you know
when dinner's ready.

281
00:11:33,485 --> 00:11:34,853
Yeah.

282
00:11:36,855 --> 00:11:38,790
I mean, I'm, I'm, my bad.
I'm sorry

283
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:41,059
'cause, uh, I didn't mean
to jump the gun.

284
00:11:41,059 --> 00:11:43,161
I just was trying
to give us options.

285
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:44,396
[Janine] Mm-hmm.

286
00:11:45,664 --> 00:11:47,599
Did you read
the thing I sent you?

287
00:11:47,599 --> 00:11:48,867
I did, and it is a shame

288
00:11:48,867 --> 00:11:50,202
that all the resources
and funding

289
00:11:50,202 --> 00:11:51,736
are going to the schools
in the north

290
00:11:51,736 --> 00:11:53,205
and the south
just gets the scraps.

291
00:11:53,505 --> 00:11:54,706
Exactly.

292
00:11:54,706 --> 00:11:56,174
Yeah, but I don't know, C.J.
Maybe the school

293
00:11:56,174 --> 00:11:58,376
is what the community
and the people of the community

294
00:11:58,376 --> 00:11:59,511
make of it.

295
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:01,079
Maybe we need to get
more involved, you know.

296
00:12:01,079 --> 00:12:03,882
What... Can we really complain
about the state of their school?

297
00:12:04,516 --> 00:12:05,817
Uh-huh.

298
00:12:06,851 --> 00:12:08,887
When was the last time
you went to a PTA meeting?

299
00:12:09,588 --> 00:12:12,224
Look, between work and family...

300
00:12:12,224 --> 00:12:14,125
See. Uh-uh. Exactly.

301
00:12:14,125 --> 00:12:17,229
So it's gonna take
more than us, anyway, you know.

302
00:12:17,229 --> 00:12:19,130
Even if we do go, right,

303
00:12:19,130 --> 00:12:21,933
what, it's, what, 20, 20 parents

304
00:12:21,933 --> 00:12:23,735
out of 500 students?

305
00:12:23,735 --> 00:12:25,837
Something like that, yeah,
you're right.

306
00:12:25,837 --> 00:12:28,139
Yeah. At the charter school,

307
00:12:28,139 --> 00:12:30,809
it's more like-minded parents
there,

308
00:12:30,809 --> 00:12:33,144
give us an opportunity,
you know?

309
00:12:34,246 --> 00:12:35,447
It did look really nice.

310
00:12:35,447 --> 00:12:37,849
-It looked amazing, you know?
-[Janine] Yeah.

311
00:12:37,849 --> 00:12:39,251
How about we get the kids

312
00:12:39,251 --> 00:12:41,386
prepped and ready
for their interview?

313
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,054
Okay.

314
00:12:43,521 --> 00:12:44,689
Fine.

315
00:12:45,056 --> 00:12:47,492
I don't wanna switch schools.
Do you?

316
00:12:47,492 --> 00:12:49,427
And leave all my friends behind?

317
00:12:50,395 --> 00:12:51,863
Okay, my two friends,

318
00:12:51,863 --> 00:12:54,032
but, no, I don't wanna
switch schools.

319
00:12:54,899 --> 00:12:57,335
What do you say we don't put
our best foot forward

320
00:12:57,335 --> 00:12:58,570
into this interview?

321
00:12:58,570 --> 00:13:00,438
I like the way you think, sis.

322
00:13:01,906 --> 00:13:05,677
So at the last
Incomparable Crowns meeting,

323
00:13:05,677 --> 00:13:08,613
we decided to have
a charity event

324
00:13:08,613 --> 00:13:09,814
for the homeless.

325
00:13:09,814 --> 00:13:13,018
And our part
is creating care bags.

326
00:13:14,286 --> 00:13:16,788
Uh, so we have socks,

327
00:13:16,788 --> 00:13:19,624
personal hygiene kits, ponchos,

328
00:13:20,158 --> 00:13:22,927
lotions, everything, all kinds
of different things.

329
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:23,995
What a great idea.

330
00:13:23,995 --> 00:13:25,563
Most people just give food.

331
00:13:25,563 --> 00:13:27,032
I know.

332
00:13:27,299 --> 00:13:28,500
But now you do know

333
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:31,236
that I work at the help center
for the church?

334
00:13:32,337 --> 00:13:33,405
I make it a point

335
00:13:33,405 --> 00:13:36,341
to always meet people
where they are.

336
00:13:36,775 --> 00:13:39,177
So whenever a person's in need,

337
00:13:39,544 --> 00:13:41,313
I always listen.

338
00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:44,382
And I'm always there for them

339
00:13:44,382 --> 00:13:46,551
no matter what they need.

340
00:13:47,285 --> 00:13:49,254
Maybe I'll come
volunteer down there.

341
00:13:49,254 --> 00:13:51,790
You know what?
You would always be welcome.

342
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:53,491
[chuckles]

343
00:13:54,259 --> 00:13:56,895
I'm very grateful to you, Ella.

344
00:13:57,796 --> 00:14:00,298
You know, I left
most my family and friends

345
00:14:00,565 --> 00:14:01,966
behind in Miami

346
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:08,006
and Bobby gets
pretty possessive of me.

347
00:14:08,907 --> 00:14:10,809
<i>Worries they're a bad influence,</i>

348
00:14:10,809 --> 00:14:14,846
so no visits, no calls.

349
00:14:16,881 --> 00:14:18,883
-Really?
-Yeah.

350
00:14:20,018 --> 00:14:22,787
It's gotten to be pretty lonely
without my family.

351
00:14:26,191 --> 00:14:27,425
I bet it is.

352
00:14:29,060 --> 00:14:30,762
And I know it's not the same,

353
00:14:30,762 --> 00:14:34,632
but you do have
a church family here.

354
00:14:34,632 --> 00:14:36,134
Yeah.

355
00:14:36,801 --> 00:14:38,770
I know you
and everybody at the church

356
00:14:38,770 --> 00:14:40,805
just adores Bobby.

357
00:14:41,906 --> 00:14:43,508
Yeah. [chuckles]

358
00:14:44,809 --> 00:14:46,978
But I'm not blind, Regina.

359
00:14:47,612 --> 00:14:48,913
What do you mean?

360
00:14:51,716 --> 00:14:53,118
Tell me,

361
00:14:53,551 --> 00:14:56,321
tell me what is going on.

362
00:15:01,393 --> 00:15:04,162
[cries]
It's been a nightmare, Ella.

363
00:15:05,930 --> 00:15:08,333
Once he got
this ring on my finger,

364
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:10,735
Bobby changed.

365
00:15:11,236 --> 00:15:14,105
He went from being
this loving romantic

366
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,308
to being a bully.

367
00:15:18,643 --> 00:15:20,111
I'm sorry.

368
00:15:20,712 --> 00:15:22,580
I am so sorry.

369
00:15:23,748 --> 00:15:26,951
So is he responsible

370
00:15:26,951 --> 00:15:29,354
for this knot on your head?

371
00:15:30,288 --> 00:15:31,389
Yeah.

372
00:15:32,457 --> 00:15:35,126
We got into it
about visiting my mama.

373
00:15:35,994 --> 00:15:38,163
He always says, "Wives,

374
00:15:38,163 --> 00:15:40,532
be subject to your husbands

375
00:15:40,532 --> 00:15:42,467
as to the Lord."

376
00:15:44,202 --> 00:15:47,338
And I try
to be a good wife, Ella,

377
00:15:47,338 --> 00:15:50,008
<i>to be a good Christian woman.</i>

378
00:15:50,008 --> 00:15:52,343
But all he does is punish me

379
00:15:52,343 --> 00:15:54,712
for all the ways I fall short,

380
00:15:54,712 --> 00:15:57,382
all the ways I'm wicked.

381
00:15:57,382 --> 00:15:59,517
Okay, okay, okay,
listen, listen.

382
00:16:01,986 --> 00:16:04,456
The Lord, in no way,

383
00:16:05,223 --> 00:16:08,326
condones this type of behavior.

384
00:16:09,127 --> 00:16:13,598
And abusers will use
whatever tool

385
00:16:13,598 --> 00:16:16,301
they have in their box

386
00:16:16,968 --> 00:16:20,238
to justify their bad decisions.

387
00:16:23,174 --> 00:16:24,609
What am I gonna do?

388
00:16:25,176 --> 00:16:27,378
All my family and friends
told me

389
00:16:27,378 --> 00:16:31,616
I was stupid to marry a man
I barely knew.

390
00:16:32,050 --> 00:16:33,518
How can I face them?

391
00:16:33,518 --> 00:16:35,086
Oh, I tell you what.

392
00:16:36,087 --> 00:16:37,388
However you face them,

393
00:16:37,388 --> 00:16:40,124
you won't face them alone.
I can promise you that.

394
00:16:40,892 --> 00:16:42,126
You got me.

395
00:16:42,427 --> 00:16:44,662
And you got
a whole church family

396
00:16:44,662 --> 00:16:46,264
supporting you.

397
00:16:48,333 --> 00:16:50,935
Nobody's gonna be on my side.

398
00:16:50,935 --> 00:16:53,304
Bobby is a saint at the church.

399
00:16:53,304 --> 00:16:56,040
Regina, right is right.

400
00:16:58,109 --> 00:17:01,145
And wrong is wrong.

401
00:17:03,381 --> 00:17:05,450
You just gonna have
to trust us, baby.

402
00:17:06,251 --> 00:17:08,019
You have to trust us.

403
00:17:08,887 --> 00:17:10,221
All right?

404
00:17:10,722 --> 00:17:12,123
Trust us.

405
00:17:14,592 --> 00:17:15,894
Okay, what is the plan?

406
00:17:15,894 --> 00:17:18,696
I don't, I don't have one.

407
00:17:18,696 --> 00:17:20,198
-Okay.
-This was your idea.

408
00:17:20,198 --> 00:17:21,566
No, but listen.

409
00:17:21,566 --> 00:17:23,234
Would really appreciate for you
to do this part too.

410
00:17:23,234 --> 00:17:24,802
No, we got it, we got.

411
00:17:24,802 --> 00:17:26,004
[Janine]<i> We got it now.</i>

412
00:17:26,004 --> 00:17:29,240
Okay, so here,
you know we gotta be united.

413
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,242
We gotta do this
on a united front.

414
00:17:32,844 --> 00:17:34,979
All right, kids, y'all go ahead

415
00:17:34,979 --> 00:17:36,548
and have a seat in the kitchen.

416
00:17:37,849 --> 00:17:38,983
You know these kids are crafty.

417
00:17:38,983 --> 00:17:40,652
Yes, I do.
Yes, yes, they are cut

418
00:17:40,652 --> 00:17:42,220
from a whole different cloth
than the other two.

419
00:17:42,220 --> 00:17:43,788
-[C.J.]<i> Right.
</i>-So what do you wanna do?

420
00:17:43,788 --> 00:17:45,123
-What's the game plan?
-Listen.

421
00:17:45,123 --> 00:17:47,025
Uh, do we go
with the old-fashioned

422
00:17:47,025 --> 00:17:48,426
shock-awe in discipline

423
00:17:48,426 --> 00:17:51,329
or do we do the new talk it out?

424
00:17:51,329 --> 00:17:53,531
[children] We have no regrets.

425
00:17:54,832 --> 00:17:56,301
[Parents] Shock and awe.

426
00:17:58,102 --> 00:17:59,904
Wait a minute, Mom and Dad.

427
00:18:00,238 --> 00:18:03,308
Don't you wanna know why
we did what we did?

428
00:18:03,308 --> 00:18:05,343
Oh, [both laughing
sarcastically]

429
00:18:05,343 --> 00:18:07,045
we know why you did
what you did.

430
00:18:07,045 --> 00:18:08,813
-Uh-huh.
-You don't wanna switch schools.

431
00:18:09,213 --> 00:18:12,717
But what exactly did we do, Dad?

432
00:18:12,717 --> 00:18:14,352
<i>Other than be honest.</i>

433
00:18:14,886 --> 00:18:16,588
Abort. No,
let's abort this mission.

434
00:18:16,588 --> 00:18:18,456
-No, no...
-We gotta regroup over here.

435
00:18:18,456 --> 00:18:20,224
No, no, no, listen.
Stay united. Stay united.

436
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:22,126
-I need to hear this.
-It's not a good idea.

437
00:18:22,126 --> 00:18:23,628
I promise you it's not.

438
00:18:23,628 --> 00:18:25,830
-She got the look.
-[C.J.] No, come on.

439
00:18:26,631 --> 00:18:32,070
So you thought
it was a good idea

440
00:18:33,104 --> 00:18:34,339
to tell everyone

441
00:18:34,339 --> 00:18:37,141
about you and your brother's
discipline record

442
00:18:37,141 --> 00:18:38,710
like it was a rap sheet.

443
00:18:39,077 --> 00:18:40,778
And, Jayden,
you thought you should

444
00:18:40,778 --> 00:18:42,380
tell everyone in sight

445
00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:44,082
about how boring school was,

446
00:18:44,082 --> 00:18:45,516
trying to frame
like it was honesty

447
00:18:45,516 --> 00:18:46,684
when, really, it was sabotage.

448
00:18:46,684 --> 00:18:48,286
I mean, you really
just shouldn't try it.

449
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,888
Well, all those things we said
are true.

450
00:18:51,889 --> 00:18:54,993
Yeah, shouldn't they know
what they're getting?

451
00:18:54,993 --> 00:18:56,327
Isn't that fair?

452
00:18:57,061 --> 00:18:58,696
Told you. Abort mission.

453
00:18:58,696 --> 00:19:01,566
No, no, see, they crafty. These
kids, you gotta watch them.

454
00:19:01,566 --> 00:19:04,202
I told you, abort mission.
I told you we shouldn't do this.

455
00:19:05,203 --> 00:19:07,972
Let's get the plan together.
Right.

456
00:19:08,506 --> 00:19:10,708
So, uh... [cellphone ringing]
Oh, hold on.

457
00:19:11,876 --> 00:19:13,211
It's them.

458
00:19:13,678 --> 00:19:14,946
[chuckles] Oh.

459
00:19:14,946 --> 00:19:17,382
-Yeah.
-So much for charter school.

460
00:19:21,711 --> 00:19:23,079
Hello.

461
00:19:25,148 --> 00:19:27,117
Yes. Okay.

462
00:19:27,384 --> 00:19:29,119
[laughing] All right.

463
00:19:29,386 --> 00:19:30,654
They wanna talk to Hayden.

464
00:19:30,654 --> 00:19:33,190
[chuckling] They're gonna
tell you themselves.

465
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:35,759
Wow, wow, wow,
that is cold-blooded.

466
00:19:36,059 --> 00:19:37,661
<i>That is cold.</i>

467
00:19:38,128 --> 00:19:39,529
Hello.

468
00:19:39,996 --> 00:19:42,165
Yes. He can hear too.

469
00:19:44,434 --> 00:19:45,435
Really?

470
00:19:45,435 --> 00:19:47,270
That actually sounds awesome.

471
00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:49,539
Yeah, the school
was pretty cool.

472
00:19:51,208 --> 00:19:53,577
Okay. Thank you.

473
00:19:59,649 --> 00:20:00,750
Hello.

474
00:20:02,085 --> 00:20:03,687
Yeah.

475
00:20:04,221 --> 00:20:05,555
Uh-huh.

476
00:20:06,756 --> 00:20:08,024
Okay.

477
00:20:08,024 --> 00:20:10,594
Yeah. I'll check the email.
Yeah.

478
00:20:11,127 --> 00:20:12,329
All right.

479
00:20:13,930 --> 00:20:15,265
What was that?

480
00:20:15,665 --> 00:20:16,933
Hayden, Jayden.

481
00:20:17,501 --> 00:20:20,103
They said they were impressed
by our honesty.

482
00:20:20,103 --> 00:20:21,738
And our big hearts.

483
00:20:21,738 --> 00:20:24,074
[Hayden]<i> Yep, they said they
were looking for kids</i>

484
00:20:24,074 --> 00:20:27,878
with integrity
and desire to learn.

485
00:20:28,712 --> 00:20:31,781
They also promised that we'd
never get bored there.

486
00:20:33,083 --> 00:20:34,384
They got in.

487
00:20:35,485 --> 00:20:37,254
And how do you two
feel about that?

488
00:20:37,254 --> 00:20:38,688
-Fine.
-Fine.

489
00:20:38,688 --> 00:20:41,758
Yeah, I guess I could see
all my friends over the weekend.

490
00:20:43,426 --> 00:20:45,462
Fine, my two friends.

491
00:20:47,130 --> 00:20:48,598
You made us lose that round.

492
00:20:48,598 --> 00:20:50,066
-No, no, no.
-Yeah, they finished us.

493
00:20:50,066 --> 00:20:51,801
-No, we...
-Full-on Mortal Kombat.

494
00:20:51,801 --> 00:20:53,603
-We was right in there.
-[Janine] No, we wasn't.
