1
00:00:03,102 --> 00:00:05,914
From an early age,
we are led to believe that
2
00:00:05,976 --> 00:00:09,410
a degree from a prestigious
university will set us apart
3
00:00:09,442 --> 00:00:11,346
from the next man.
4
00:00:13,487 --> 00:00:16,932
That the promise of higher
education is to get a leg up
5
00:00:16,994 --> 00:00:19,762
and bring us closer to our aspirations.
6
00:00:22,763 --> 00:00:25,798
But for some people,
that higher education
7
00:00:25,823 --> 00:00:29,373
only creates more space
between them and their goals.
8
00:00:29,398 --> 00:00:33,942
And let's be honest, those
"some people" are Black people.
9
00:00:47,508 --> 00:00:49,925
Yo, you got to relax, bro.
10
00:00:49,958 --> 00:00:51,093
You got this.
11
00:00:51,127 --> 00:00:52,328
I know, I know.
I just... I just feel like
12
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,096
I don't want to reek of desperation.
13
00:00:54,129 --> 00:00:56,231
Okay? But to be clear,
I am very desperate.
14
00:00:56,265 --> 00:00:57,777
Yo, you... you... Don't be.
15
00:00:57,802 --> 00:00:59,601
You got six months
til you graduate, bro.
16
00:00:59,634 --> 00:01:01,670
Six months. You're gonna get a job.
17
00:01:01,703 --> 00:01:02,771
I don't have six months.
18
00:01:02,804 --> 00:01:04,706
I owe 100K in student loans now, Doug.
19
00:01:04,739 --> 00:01:05,941
Right now.
20
00:01:05,974 --> 00:01:07,744
Come on, the line's over there.
21
00:01:07,777 --> 00:01:10,013
Bro, you're looking
at this the wrong way.
22
00:01:10,045 --> 00:01:13,082
You're a diversity hire
with mad community service hours
23
00:01:13,116 --> 00:01:14,551
- and a high-ass GPA.
- Okay.
24
00:01:14,584 --> 00:01:16,119
All these dudes at these
companies are gonna be
25
00:01:16,152 --> 00:01:18,454
begging for you to be
their one non-threatening
26
00:01:18,488 --> 00:01:19,515
Black work friend.
27
00:01:19,540 --> 00:01:20,590
- Wait, wait...
- Watch.
28
00:01:20,623 --> 00:01:21,925
I can be threatening.
29
00:01:21,957 --> 00:01:23,593
You're wearing a vest, bro.
30
00:01:23,626 --> 00:01:25,028
Tupac wore a vest.
31
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:27,196
Not to a career fair, he didn't.
32
00:01:27,230 --> 00:01:29,032
Bro, look, you just gotta go in there
33
00:01:29,064 --> 00:01:31,200
with your signature
Aaron Jackson charisma...
34
00:01:31,233 --> 00:01:32,935
...and you'll be good.
35
00:01:32,968 --> 00:01:34,938
You're right, you're right. You're right.
I'm gonna go in here.
36
00:01:34,971 --> 00:01:36,106
- Yes.
- I'm gonna get a job
37
00:01:36,138 --> 00:01:37,370
with good benefits.
38
00:01:37,395 --> 00:01:39,109
I'm talking about student loan
forgiveness program...
39
00:01:39,141 --> 00:01:40,709
- Right.
- ...a six-figure starting salary...
40
00:01:40,742 --> 00:01:42,545
- Uh-huh.
- ...maybe a little Maxima.
41
00:01:42,578 --> 00:01:43,713
I love those cars.
42
00:01:43,745 --> 00:01:45,280
See you later, bro.
You're gonna kill it.
43
00:01:45,313 --> 00:01:47,116
- Yep.
- Excuse me.
44
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:51,954
This is as far as it's gonna go.
45
00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:53,456

Although Aaron was facing one corporate
58
00:02:30,569 --> 00:02:33,105
Caucasian complication after another,
59
00:02:33,137 --> 00:02:36,342
he was determined
to keep pushing forward.
60
00:02:36,374 --> 00:02:38,776
This all looks really good,
but typically,
61
00:02:38,809 --> 00:02:40,678
our candidates are accounting majors.
62
00:02:40,712 --> 00:02:41,914
So, you'd say you have
63
00:02:41,946 --> 00:02:44,582
a wealth of project management
experience, then?
64
00:02:44,616 --> 00:02:46,851
I'm just struggling to see
how your "experience"
65
00:02:46,885 --> 00:02:48,786
translates to this particular skill set.
66
00:02:48,819 --> 00:02:50,722
Well, we appreciate you
submitting your résumé,
67
00:02:50,755 --> 00:02:52,624
and we'll certainly be in touch
if you're a good fit.
68
00:02:52,658 --> 00:02:55,127
Right, I appreciate you
looking out, brotha.
69
00:02:58,397 --> 00:03:01,133
Yeah, hey, uh, look, Joey,
I'm just stepping into class
70
00:03:01,165 --> 00:03:03,101
right now, but I promise
as soon as I'm out,
71
00:03:03,135 --> 00:03:05,204
I'm gonna e-mail you those looks, okay?
72
00:03:05,236 --> 00:03:07,606
All right. Hit you later. Bye.
73
00:03:11,610 --> 00:03:14,779
Of course the only seat open
is beside the girl
74
00:03:14,813 --> 00:03:17,449
I found out was sleeping with my ex.
75
00:03:25,690 --> 00:03:26,791
Hey, girl! How you doing?
76
00:03:26,825 --> 00:03:29,228
Good, good. How are you?
77
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:30,895
Oh, me? I've been really good.
78
00:03:30,928 --> 00:03:33,231
I've been... I've been so good.
79
00:03:33,265 --> 00:03:36,568
I've been the truest definition
of G-double-O-D good.
80
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,569
- You know?
- Good.
81
00:03:38,603 --> 00:03:40,505
Good. So, that's me.
82
00:03:40,539 --> 00:03:44,276
Uh, look, I just wanted to
apologize for the other night.
83
00:03:44,308 --> 00:03:46,344
I didn't know you and Luca
had a history.
84
00:03:46,378 --> 00:03:49,348
Pssh...
85
00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:51,182
Ancient history.
86
00:03:51,216 --> 00:03:54,253
It's just like...
prehistoric at this point.
87
00:03:54,285 --> 00:03:55,320
It's so old.
88
00:03:55,354 --> 00:03:57,956
So old, like a young Morgan Freeman old.
89
00:03:57,988 --> 00:03:59,491
- That's old.
- Uh-huh.
90
00:03:59,523 --> 00:04:01,860
Well, look, we should grab
a drink or something.
91
00:04:01,892 --> 00:04:03,494
Oh, I... Wow.
92
00:04:03,528 --> 00:04:05,664
Uh, yeah, no, I would love that.
93
00:04:05,696 --> 00:04:09,267
Drinks shall be grabbed.
94
00:04:12,637 --> 00:04:14,839
Okay, so here's a little bit about me.
95
00:04:14,873 --> 00:04:16,541
Uh, I am hardworking, dedicated,
96
00:04:16,575 --> 00:04:18,142
a natural-born leader.
97
00:04:18,176 --> 00:04:20,178
I just think I could
seamlessly fit into the culture
98
00:04:20,212 --> 00:04:21,447
at your company.
99
00:04:21,479 --> 00:04:23,681
In fact, one of your
senior VPs, Andre Johnson,
100
00:04:23,714 --> 00:04:25,017
is my friend's dad, so...
101
00:04:25,074 --> 00:04:26,351
- Oh, cool, cool.
- Yeah.
102
00:04:26,385 --> 00:04:28,887
My dad owns the company.
103
00:04:28,919 --> 00:04:30,388
Yeah, and my dad has been banned from
104
00:04:30,421 --> 00:04:32,123
the Staples Center
for the next five years.
105
00:04:32,157 --> 00:04:33,859
It's nothing weird.
106
00:04:33,892 --> 00:04:35,527
He just likes to have sex with strangers
107
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,862
in the nosebleed section.
108
00:04:36,895 --> 00:04:38,229
You know, he tried having
sex with people
109
00:04:38,262 --> 00:04:41,099
he already knows, but he just
doesn't like it as much.
110
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,168
Great, well, you guys seem...
you guys seem great,
111
00:04:44,202 --> 00:04:45,803
and I would love
the opportunity to apply.
112
00:04:45,837 --> 00:04:47,973
And the fact that you guys help pay back
113
00:04:48,005 --> 00:04:49,541
your employees'
student loans... amazing.
114
00:04:49,573 --> 00:04:50,675
It'd really help me out a lot.
115
00:04:50,709 --> 00:04:51,844
- What?
- What?
116
00:04:51,876 --> 00:04:53,478
- Oh, that doesn't sound right.
- We don't do that.
117
00:04:53,512 --> 00:04:54,980
- I don't think that's...
- Oh, look at that!
118
00:04:55,012 --> 00:04:56,181
- Wow.
- There it is.
119
00:04:56,214 --> 00:04:57,315
- I'll be damned.
- Crazy.
120
00:04:57,349 --> 00:04:58,439
Well, listen, we have been looking
121
00:04:58,464 --> 00:05:00,184
to bolster our urban division.
122
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:02,053
One of our execs has just been
so checked out lately.
123
00:05:02,087 --> 00:05:03,354
- Oh.
- Charlie.
124
00:05:03,387 --> 00:05:05,190
Yeah, absolutely.
I haven't seen him in a while.
125
00:05:05,222 --> 00:05:07,525
It's been two days at least.
126
00:05:07,558 --> 00:05:09,061
Anyway, thank you for your résumé.
127
00:05:09,094 --> 00:05:11,597
We're gonna have interviews
on Friday from 2:00 to 5:00,
128
00:05:11,630 --> 00:05:13,098
and then those candidates
that are selected
129
00:05:13,130 --> 00:05:14,366
will be notified via e-mail.
130
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:15,666
Okay, awesome.
131
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:17,503
Hey, well, I look forward
to hearing from you.
132
00:05:17,536 --> 00:05:19,371
And you. Hell, even your dad.
133
00:05:19,404 --> 00:05:21,574
Oh. Daddy would love you.
134
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:26,469
- I'm gonna go now. Thank you.
- Yep.
135
00:05:26,477 --> 00:05:28,795
- I like your ponytail.
- Mm.
136
00:05:30,217 --> 00:05:32,050
Hi.
137
00:05:36,287 --> 00:05:37,355
Ohh!
138
00:05:37,388 --> 00:05:39,223
Love this song!
139
00:05:39,257 --> 00:05:40,726
You love Beethoven?
140
00:05:40,758 --> 00:05:42,628
Yeah, yeah. Great movie.
141
00:05:42,661 --> 00:05:46,231
Hey, yo, Sky, good luck being
a traitor to your race.
142
00:05:46,263 --> 00:05:48,065
What the [bleep] did you just say?
143
00:05:48,099 --> 00:05:50,536
Because I'm dating a White guy,
I'm a traitor to my race?
144
00:05:50,568 --> 00:05:52,371
Y'all mess with White girls
all the time.
145
00:05:52,404 --> 00:05:54,238
You're the real traitor to your race.
146
00:05:54,272 --> 00:05:55,606
And your mama.
147
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,741
What?
148
00:05:56,774 --> 00:05:57,810
Why you bringing my mama into this?
149
00:05:57,842 --> 00:06:00,111
I said good luck training for your race.
150
00:06:00,145 --> 00:06:01,447
Oh.
151
00:06:01,479 --> 00:06:03,147
Oh.
152
00:06:03,181 --> 00:06:05,584
Well...
153
00:06:05,616 --> 00:06:06,984
Thank you.
154
00:06:07,017 --> 00:06:10,022
Go, Titans.
155
00:06:11,356 --> 00:06:12,623
Um...
156
00:06:12,657 --> 00:06:14,493
What... What was that?
157
00:06:14,525 --> 00:06:16,627
I'm sorry.
158
00:06:16,661 --> 00:06:19,231
Look, I've got to be honest with you.
159
00:06:19,263 --> 00:06:25,837
I've never dated, like,
a... a White guy before.
160
00:06:25,871 --> 00:06:27,673
So...
161
00:06:27,705 --> 00:06:29,307
is this gonna be a problem?
162
00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:31,008
No. N-No.
163
00:06:31,041 --> 00:06:33,344
I mean, I... I don't think it is.
164
00:06:35,546 --> 00:06:36,515
Cool.
165
00:06:36,548 --> 00:06:38,149
Um...
166
00:06:38,183 --> 00:06:40,085
How about you get at me
when you figure it out?
167
00:06:40,118 --> 00:06:41,719
Here are your Cheetos.
168
00:06:45,156 --> 00:06:47,092
Yo, you want in on this Postmates, bro?
169
00:06:47,125 --> 00:06:49,293
No, man! I told you, I am on a strict
170
00:06:49,327 --> 00:06:52,764
bologna and Cup-o-Noodle
diet for the next...
171
00:06:52,796 --> 00:06:54,198
rest of my life.
172
00:06:54,231 --> 00:06:55,868
Are you back on this loan mess?
173
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:58,770
Yes! I am looking at 750 bucks
a month in student loans.
174
00:06:58,803 --> 00:07:00,539
Even if I get a great job,
175
00:07:00,572 --> 00:07:02,341
it'll take me at least
30 years to pay this off.
176
00:07:02,373 --> 00:07:04,041
How am I supposed to
affect change at 50?
177
00:07:04,075 --> 00:07:07,846
I mean, John Lewis still be
leading marches at 80.
178
00:07:07,878 --> 00:07:10,214
I mean, it's more like...
like a hobble now,
179
00:07:10,248 --> 00:07:12,017
but it's a hobble for us.
180
00:07:12,043 --> 00:07:13,050
I don't want to hobble.
181
00:07:14,553 --> 00:07:16,288
Oh, shit.
182
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,488
It's from Stevens & Lido.
183
00:07:17,522 --> 00:07:19,676
Look at Jesus. Won't He do it.
184
00:07:19,701 --> 00:07:20,926
- Hallelujah.
- "Dear Aaron...
185
00:07:20,951 --> 00:07:22,861
Thank you for your..."
186
00:07:24,094 --> 00:07:26,330
I didn't get the interview.
187
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:28,685
Oh, He didn't do it this time.
188
00:07:36,777 --> 00:07:39,344
Uh, yeah, one second!
189
00:07:39,376 --> 00:07:41,079
Coming, coming.
190
00:07:43,548 --> 00:07:44,649
- Hey, dude.
- Hey.
191
00:07:44,683 --> 00:07:45,918
You here looking for Vivek?
192
00:07:45,950 --> 00:07:48,587
Uh, no. Actually,
I came here to see you.
193
00:07:48,620 --> 00:07:49,887
I need a favor.
194
00:07:49,921 --> 00:07:51,823
I applied for a gig at your dad's job.
195
00:07:51,856 --> 00:07:53,692
- Stevens & Lido?
- Yeah.
196
00:07:53,724 --> 00:07:55,092
Um, and you know I hate to ask favors,
197
00:07:55,125 --> 00:07:57,529
but this is a huge
opportunity, you know?
198
00:07:57,561 --> 00:07:59,163
- Mm-hmm.
- There's a solid chance
199
00:07:59,197 --> 00:08:02,067
it could turn into a full-time
job after I graduate, so...
200
00:08:02,099 --> 00:08:03,335
Ohh.
201
00:08:03,368 --> 00:08:05,036
They're holding interviews
tomorrow, so I would just...
202
00:08:05,070 --> 00:08:06,605
I'd really appreciate it
if you would just get me
203
00:08:06,637 --> 00:08:07,839
in front of your dad, you know?
204
00:08:07,871 --> 00:08:10,508
Yeah, I got you.
Don't even stress about it.
205
00:08:10,541 --> 00:08:12,010
Really? You...
206
00:08:12,043 --> 00:08:13,078
You can get me in?
207
00:08:13,111 --> 00:08:14,378
Of course I can.
208
00:08:14,411 --> 00:08:16,448
I'm Zoey Johnson.
I'm my father's favorite child.
209
00:08:16,481 --> 00:08:18,116
He would do anything for me.
210
00:08:18,149 --> 00:08:20,052
Oh, and you know what?
211
00:08:20,085 --> 00:08:21,753
You should wear this.
212
00:08:21,786 --> 00:08:24,790
It's supposed to be for Joey,
but I really think
213
00:08:24,823 --> 00:08:26,558
you should take it for your interview.
214
00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:29,093
It would look amazing on you.
215
00:08:34,265 --> 00:08:35,601
Uh, one second.
216
00:08:35,634 --> 00:08:36,768
- Oh.
- Thank you.
217
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,588
Goodness. That's Joey.
I should take this.
218
00:08:39,613 --> 00:08:41,039
Yeah, no, do your thing.
219
00:08:41,072 --> 00:08:42,207
- Yeah.
- But thanks again, really.
220
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,743
- Mm-hmm.
- Appreciate it.
221
00:08:44,775 --> 00:08:46,077
Hey, Joey.
222
00:08:46,111 --> 00:08:47,612
Yeah.
223
00:08:58,323 --> 00:08:59,491
Hello. Excuse me.
224
00:08:59,524 --> 00:09:02,193
I'm Aaron Jackson.
I'm here for an interview.
225
00:09:05,196 --> 00:09:07,533
Just want me to sit down? Cool.
226
00:09:09,867 --> 00:09:11,569
Exciting.
227
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,609
Okay!
228
00:09:17,641 --> 00:09:19,343
Hi.
229
00:09:25,884 --> 00:09:27,284
That's cool, all right.
230
00:09:27,318 --> 00:09:28,486
Okay, yeah, go. What you got?
231
00:09:36,294 --> 00:09:37,496
Hey, excuse me, Miss.
232
00:09:37,529 --> 00:09:39,364
Uh, I'm sorry, I just...
I've been here, like,
233
00:09:39,396 --> 00:09:40,931
sitting there for a couple hours.
234
00:09:40,965 --> 00:09:43,535
So, just wondering,
you know, when I'm up.
235
00:09:43,568 --> 00:09:45,270
Um...
236
00:09:45,303 --> 00:09:48,373
Sorry, it looks like we've
completed all our interviews.
237
00:09:48,405 --> 00:09:49,540
What was your name again?
238
00:09:49,573 --> 00:09:50,708
Uh, Aaron Jackson.
239
00:09:50,741 --> 00:09:52,176
I'm sure it's in there.
240
00:09:52,209 --> 00:09:54,545
No, sorry. You're not on my list.
241
00:09:56,047 --> 00:09:57,983
All right. Hey, Rachel,
I'm done for the day.
242
00:09:58,015 --> 00:09:59,317
Mr. Johnson! Hey!
243
00:09:59,350 --> 00:10:00,452
- Hey.
- Just the man I want to see.
244
00:10:00,485 --> 00:10:01,520
- How you been?
- I'm all right.
245
00:10:01,553 --> 00:10:03,621
- Do I know you?
- Yeah, it's me, Aaron Jackson.
246
00:10:03,654 --> 00:10:04,856
Uh, Zoey's friend from school.
247
00:10:04,889 --> 00:10:05,979
We met a couple years back.
248
00:10:06,004 --> 00:10:07,659
I stayed the weekend at your place.
249
00:10:07,692 --> 00:10:09,695
Oh! Yeah, yeah.
250
00:10:09,727 --> 00:10:10,996
Aaron.
251
00:10:11,029 --> 00:10:12,664
Hey, man, my mama's still
talking about you.
252
00:10:12,697 --> 00:10:14,332
Uh, so what brings you here?
253
00:10:14,365 --> 00:10:15,567
Oh, my God, is Zozo with child?
254
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,069
Please, God, don't tell me
my baby's pregnant!
255
00:10:17,101 --> 00:10:18,169
No, no, no, no, Zoey's not pregnant.
256
00:10:18,202 --> 00:10:19,837
At least I don't think.
Certainly not by me.
257
00:10:19,871 --> 00:10:21,039
I'm just here about an interview, man.
258
00:10:21,072 --> 00:10:22,541
She told me she was gonna call you today
259
00:10:22,573 --> 00:10:23,909
about getting me in.
260
00:10:23,942 --> 00:10:25,976
I'm in, I'm here, and I'm ready, so...
261
00:10:26,010 --> 00:10:28,212
Well... she didn't.
262
00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:31,515
In fact, we haven't
talked in a few weeks.
263
00:10:31,549 --> 00:10:33,018
Tell her to get at me, though.
264
00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:34,585
No, I did, about a job.
265
00:10:34,619 --> 00:10:36,221
That's why I'm here, sir.
266
00:10:37,922 --> 00:10:39,356
Hey, man, are you following me?
267
00:10:39,390 --> 00:10:40,524
I wouldn't call it following.
268
00:10:40,558 --> 00:10:42,561
It's just more of like
a trailing behind.
269
00:10:42,593 --> 00:10:45,362
Look, if you would just take
a look at my résumé here...
270
00:10:45,395 --> 00:10:47,998
I'm sorry. Um, now, I know you won't see
271
00:10:48,031 --> 00:10:50,568
a lot of marketing experience,
but I promise you
272
00:10:50,601 --> 00:10:53,071
I am... I am a hustler, I'm motivated,
273
00:10:53,103 --> 00:10:55,906
and, um, to be honest,
I kind of remind myself
274
00:10:55,939 --> 00:10:57,241
a lot of a young you.
275
00:10:57,274 --> 00:10:59,010
Obviously I'm... I'm a little
taller, but, still...
276
00:10:59,043 --> 00:11:02,047
Son, I would never wear a vest.
277
00:11:03,615 --> 00:11:06,351
Hey, look, man, this résumé
looks like it's pretty strong,
278
00:11:06,384 --> 00:11:10,422
but I've already filled the position.
279
00:11:10,454 --> 00:11:12,857
Okay, cool. Uh, thanks.
280
00:11:12,890 --> 00:11:14,726
Keep your head up, man.
281
00:11:25,970 --> 00:11:28,039
"Good looking out, homie."
282
00:11:28,072 --> 00:11:29,274
What the hell does that mean...
283
00:11:29,307 --> 00:11:31,076
Oh, my God!
284
00:11:31,108 --> 00:11:32,810
The interview!
285
00:11:41,013 --> 00:11:44,722
On a scale from 1 to 10,
how mad is Aaron?
286
00:11:44,755 --> 00:11:46,824
Oh, you could add a zero to that 10,
287
00:11:46,857 --> 00:11:48,092
and you'd be in the ballpark.
288
00:11:48,125 --> 00:11:50,461
- Great.
- What, could you blame him?
289
00:11:50,495 --> 00:11:52,563
You flaked on a simple favor.
290
00:11:52,597 --> 00:11:53,731
Okay, yeah, I know.
291
00:11:53,765 --> 00:11:55,232
But it was an honest mistake.
292
00:11:55,265 --> 00:11:56,901
I get that it doesn't
make it any better,
293
00:11:56,934 --> 00:11:58,969
but... but I've been swamped at work.
294
00:11:59,002 --> 00:12:02,406
I literally haven't slept
in the past 48 hours.
295
00:12:02,439 --> 00:12:04,342
Okay, well your
"honest mistake" cost him
296
00:12:04,375 --> 00:12:05,744
a real opportunity.
297
00:12:05,776 --> 00:12:07,077
He's going through it.
298
00:12:07,111 --> 00:12:09,681
Because I didn't get him
an interview at Stevens & Lido?
299
00:12:09,713 --> 00:12:13,517
No, because his student loans
are, like, six figures.
300
00:12:13,550 --> 00:12:15,319
And your dad's company
could've helped him
301
00:12:15,352 --> 00:12:18,455
with their loan forgiveness
program if you hooked him up.
302
00:12:18,489 --> 00:12:21,660
Right. I feel awful.
303
00:12:21,693 --> 00:12:22,827
You should.
304
00:12:22,861 --> 00:12:25,697
Okay, wait a minute.
Granted, we all know
305
00:12:25,730 --> 00:12:28,166
that Zoey tends to be
a little wrapped up in Zoey,
306
00:12:28,198 --> 00:12:31,135
but we can't put Aaron's
entire financial crisis on her.
307
00:12:31,169 --> 00:12:32,370
She didn't make him take that money.
308
00:12:32,403 --> 00:12:34,472
No, the banks who preyed on Aaron did.
309
00:12:34,505 --> 00:12:36,274
What, preyed on him? How?
310
00:12:36,307 --> 00:12:38,310
Sometimes I really forget
311
00:12:38,342 --> 00:12:40,212
how Sherman Oaks you are, Sherman Oaks.
312
00:12:40,245 --> 00:12:42,113
The way they prey on all Black kids
313
00:12:42,145 --> 00:12:44,181
who want to go to college
but can't afford it.
314
00:12:44,215 --> 00:12:47,552
Yeah. They know that there's
no other option for us,
315
00:12:47,584 --> 00:12:49,653
so they give us this easy money,
316
00:12:49,687 --> 00:12:51,690
wrap it in a free T-shirt, right?
317
00:12:51,722 --> 00:12:53,657
And then you go off
to college, and then it's,
318
00:12:53,691 --> 00:12:56,027
"Whoo, I'm in school,"
just for you to realize
319
00:12:56,059 --> 00:12:58,996
when you get out, that you
owe them twice the money
320
00:12:59,029 --> 00:13:01,466
that they gave you,
plus the shirt off your back.
321
00:13:01,499 --> 00:13:03,668
Um. Hello. Hi.
322
00:13:03,701 --> 00:13:05,837
Fellow person of color here.
323
00:13:05,870 --> 00:13:08,340
And as someone riddled
with student loans,
324
00:13:08,372 --> 00:13:10,342
I still think there's
something to be said
325
00:13:10,375 --> 00:13:13,010
for more minorities going
to college than ever before.
326
00:13:13,044 --> 00:13:15,313
Yeah, and that's great
and all, but the cost
327
00:13:15,346 --> 00:13:18,350
and the benefit of
that education aren't equal.
328
00:13:18,382 --> 00:13:20,484
The reality is if we all graduated with
329
00:13:20,518 --> 00:13:22,687
the same degree,
all had the same experience,
330
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,689
and all slayed the same interview,
331
00:13:24,722 --> 00:13:26,223
the offer would go to Nomi first,
332
00:13:26,256 --> 00:13:28,193
and then to you,
and then to Doug and Aaron,
333
00:13:28,226 --> 00:13:31,029
and then Zoey, Sky, and I
would come dead last.
334
00:13:31,062 --> 00:13:32,529
Yep.
335
00:13:32,563 --> 00:13:34,566
You... You should probably pick
that up right there.
336
00:13:34,598 --> 00:13:35,699
Pick what up?
337
00:13:35,732 --> 00:13:38,270
Oh, that... that knowledge
my baby just dropped.
338
00:13:38,303 --> 00:13:40,438
She did.
339
00:13:40,471 --> 00:13:41,505
- You did.
- I did.
340
00:13:41,539 --> 00:13:43,674
Mm-hmm. Like a Congresswoman.
341
00:13:57,054 --> 00:13:58,022
Hi.
342
00:13:58,055 --> 00:13:59,523
What's up?
343
00:13:59,557 --> 00:14:01,192
Aaron, I had no clue about everything
344
00:14:01,225 --> 00:14:03,228
that was happening with
the loans and all that,
345
00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:06,897
and... and believe me
when I say I am so, so sorry.
346
00:14:06,930 --> 00:14:08,799
I promise I'm gonna make it up to you.
347
00:14:08,832 --> 00:14:09,867
I... I swear.
348
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:11,303
Yeah. All good.
349
00:14:11,336 --> 00:14:12,637
Look, um, hey.
350
00:14:12,669 --> 00:14:14,371
No, um...
351
00:14:14,404 --> 00:14:16,140
Dude, can you give me a second, please?
352
00:14:16,174 --> 00:14:17,708
Okay. Here's your second.
353
00:14:17,741 --> 00:14:19,310
What's up?
354
00:14:19,343 --> 00:14:22,313
Well, I put a call in to my dad,
and he can't...
355
00:14:22,347 --> 00:14:23,715
Great, because it seemed
like he had been waiting
356
00:14:23,747 --> 00:14:25,149
to hear from you.
357
00:14:25,183 --> 00:14:27,986
Weeks, actually.
358
00:14:28,019 --> 00:14:30,789
Look, Aaron, I messed up.
359
00:14:30,822 --> 00:14:32,957
Look, Zoey, I'm...
360
00:14:32,991 --> 00:14:34,259
I'm trying my hardest
not to say anything
361
00:14:34,292 --> 00:14:36,827
disrespectful to you,
so I'm politely asking you
362
00:14:36,861 --> 00:14:38,663
to please give me some space.
363
00:14:38,696 --> 00:14:39,731
All right?
364
00:14:39,764 --> 00:14:41,499
No, because I want to fix this.
365
00:14:41,531 --> 00:14:43,067
- You can't fix it.
- You're not letting me.
366
00:14:43,101 --> 00:14:45,971
Because you're too late, Zoey!
367
00:14:46,004 --> 00:14:48,273
The one time that
I needed you... the one time...
368
00:14:48,305 --> 00:14:51,508
where were you at?
369
00:14:51,542 --> 00:14:53,345
- I...
- Right.
370
00:14:53,377 --> 00:14:55,512
But if you need something,
you expect me to drop everything
371
00:14:55,545 --> 00:14:58,116
and be there, no questions asked.
372
00:14:58,149 --> 00:14:59,517
Because that's how this
relationship works.
373
00:14:59,549 --> 00:15:01,452
You... You... You... You...
You need some advice
374
00:15:01,486 --> 00:15:02,821
about something, I give it to you.
375
00:15:02,853 --> 00:15:05,856
You need some support during
a crisis, you got it.
376
00:15:05,890 --> 00:15:07,424
You need somebody to kiss
to get over your ex?
377
00:15:07,457 --> 00:15:08,993
I'm your man, right?
378
00:15:09,026 --> 00:15:10,694
Right?
379
00:15:10,727 --> 00:15:14,498
You said it yourself.
I'm always there for you.
380
00:15:14,531 --> 00:15:18,435
I know, and I'm... I'm sorry.
381
00:15:18,468 --> 00:15:20,871
Man, don't be. Please don't be.
382
00:15:20,904 --> 00:15:24,541
I'm actually... I'm honestly
not even mad at you.
383
00:15:24,574 --> 00:15:26,510
I'm mad at myself
384
00:15:26,544 --> 00:15:29,814
to think that you would
actually come through for me.
385
00:15:31,913 --> 00:15:34,694
How'd it take me this long
to realize how selfish you are?
386
00:15:36,411 --> 00:15:38,414
It's crazy.
387
00:15:47,664 --> 00:15:48,832
You good?
388
00:15:48,866 --> 00:15:50,750
Oh, yeah.
389
00:15:50,775 --> 00:15:55,247
No, I'm good. I'm G-double-O-D good.
390
00:15:55,272 --> 00:15:56,640
You wanna talk?
391
00:15:56,674 --> 00:15:58,976
No.
392
00:15:59,010 --> 00:16:02,333
But how about that drink?
393
00:16:02,358 --> 00:16:03,515
You got it.
394
00:16:03,548 --> 00:16:05,183
Right.
395
00:16:15,358 --> 00:16:16,760
What's up?
396
00:16:16,794 --> 00:16:18,096
Hey.
397
00:16:20,594 --> 00:16:23,864
So, you wanted to talk?
398
00:16:25,465 --> 00:16:26,466
Yeah.
399
00:16:26,499 --> 00:16:28,101
So...
400
00:16:28,135 --> 00:16:30,071
I was... I was out
401
00:16:30,103 --> 00:16:32,672
with my sister
and her boyfriend tonight,
402
00:16:32,705 --> 00:16:35,276
and I think I figured out
403
00:16:35,309 --> 00:16:38,478
what's been bothering me.
404
00:16:38,512 --> 00:16:40,680
It's their connection.
405
00:16:40,714 --> 00:16:42,949
What does their connection
have to do with us?
406
00:16:42,983 --> 00:16:47,755
Theirs is rooted in
a shared cultural experience
407
00:16:47,787 --> 00:16:50,924
because both of them are Black.
408
00:16:50,958 --> 00:16:52,760
We'll never have that.
409
00:16:52,792 --> 00:16:57,263
And no matter how hard I try, I just...
410
00:16:57,296 --> 00:17:00,634
I can't seem to get past it.
411
00:17:00,666 --> 00:17:02,602
Wow.
412
00:17:02,636 --> 00:17:06,440
Well, I guess you figured it out, then.
413
00:17:06,473 --> 00:17:09,377
But the other thing that
I can't seem to get past
414
00:17:09,409 --> 00:17:11,778
is how much I like you
415
00:17:11,811 --> 00:17:15,715
and how much I can't stop
thinking about you.
416
00:17:20,587 --> 00:17:23,124
So, which side outweighs the other?
417
00:17:34,233 --> 00:17:37,004
Is it okay if I still call you Rod'Nae?
418
00:17:38,938 --> 00:17:41,141
No.
419
00:17:52,218 --> 00:17:53,520
Excuse me, Dean Telphy.
420
00:17:53,553 --> 00:17:54,721
Excuse me, sir.
421
00:17:54,754 --> 00:17:56,322
Hold on a second.
422
00:18:02,029 --> 00:18:03,164
Okay.
423
00:18:03,196 --> 00:18:05,398
How can I help you?
424
00:18:05,432 --> 00:18:07,835
I don't know, man!
You called me in here.
425
00:18:07,868 --> 00:18:11,338
Uh... Oh, right.
426
00:18:11,370 --> 00:18:13,406
See, that's my problem.
427
00:18:13,439 --> 00:18:16,443
This is why I need
an administrative assistant.
428
00:18:16,476 --> 00:18:18,878
And when I got a call from
my good friend and confidant,
429
00:18:18,912 --> 00:18:21,682
Andre Johnson, he told me that
you might be looking for a job,
430
00:18:21,714 --> 00:18:23,783
I immediately summoned you.
431
00:18:23,817 --> 00:18:25,252
Wait, are you...
432
00:18:25,284 --> 00:18:26,387
Are you offering me a job?
433
00:18:26,419 --> 00:18:28,102
It all depends. Are you accepting it?
434
00:18:28,127 --> 00:18:29,821
I mean, I can only accept it
if you're offering it to me.
435
00:18:29,846 --> 00:18:30,925
Are you offering it to me?
436
00:18:30,957 --> 00:18:33,927
Hmm, you drive a hard
bargain, young Aaron.
437
00:18:33,961 --> 00:18:36,597
But you got the job.
438
00:18:36,629 --> 00:18:38,064
What job, sir?!
439
00:18:38,098 --> 00:18:39,532
I'm sorry. What job?
440
00:18:39,566 --> 00:18:40,768
I'm sorry, you're just confusing me.
441
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,035
Look, let's start with the basics.
442
00:18:42,069 --> 00:18:43,803
How much does this job pay?
443
00:18:43,837 --> 00:18:45,573
Oh. Minimum wage.
444
00:18:45,606 --> 00:18:46,640
Okay, is there health insurance?
445
00:18:46,673 --> 00:18:49,310
Is there health insurance?
446
00:18:50,610 --> 00:18:52,713
Right. Um...
447
00:18:52,745 --> 00:18:54,915
Is there any type of
loan forgiveness program?
448
00:18:54,947 --> 00:18:57,671
Hmm, does free grad school
for Cal U staff count?
449
00:18:59,485 --> 00:19:00,987
Wait.
450
00:19:01,021 --> 00:19:02,255
Free grad school?
451
00:19:02,289 --> 00:19:05,158
You mean like a Masters degree
for no money?
452
00:19:05,192 --> 00:19:07,761
- There's got to be a catch.
- No. There's no catch.
453
00:19:07,793 --> 00:19:10,497
You just got to show up,
put in 20 hours a week,
454
00:19:10,531 --> 00:19:12,098
and become my personal assistant.
455
00:19:12,131 --> 00:19:14,834
Now, your first order of business...
456
00:19:14,868 --> 00:19:16,770
you need to call this lady
I've been seeing and tell her
457
00:19:16,802 --> 00:19:17,905
I don't want to see her no more.
458
00:19:17,937 --> 00:19:19,439
Her name's Keshia Kirschbaum.
459
00:19:19,473 --> 00:19:22,609
She's, uh... unhinged.
460
00:19:22,643 --> 00:19:24,310
- Good luck.
- This is huge, man.
461
00:19:24,343 --> 00:19:25,612
You don't realize what
it's doing for me.
462
00:19:25,646 --> 00:19:28,415
This... This past week has been...
463
00:19:28,447 --> 00:19:29,749
Oh, it has... it has sucked.
464
00:19:30,716 --> 00:19:32,919
Not as much as my week with Keshia.
465
00:19:32,953 --> 00:19:34,288
You know what?
466
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,755
- Man.
- I'll take the job.
467
00:19:35,789 --> 00:19:36,857
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
468
00:19:36,889 --> 00:19:37,957
Hey.
469
00:19:37,991 --> 00:19:39,425
The reality was that
470
00:19:39,458 --> 00:19:42,629
Aaron couldn't erase the debt
he had already acquired,
471
00:19:42,663 --> 00:19:46,433
but this bizarre job and
the offer of free grad school
472
00:19:46,465 --> 00:19:48,702
would give him a financial head start
473
00:19:48,734 --> 00:19:52,072
to ensure he wouldn't become
just another statistic.
474
00:20:04,585 --> 00:20:07,321
Is the sun always this bright out here?
475
00:20:08,422 --> 00:20:10,258
Yes.
476
00:20:11,224 --> 00:20:13,565
And please just stop yelling.
477
00:20:13,827 --> 00:20:15,628
You know what I could use right now?
478
00:20:15,662 --> 00:20:16,864
Hmm?
479
00:20:16,896 --> 00:20:19,366
- Waffle House.
- Mm.
480
00:20:19,398 --> 00:20:22,259
They come through for
a hangover every time.
481
00:20:23,353 --> 00:20:25,757
We don't have Waffle Houses in L.A.
482
00:20:25,782 --> 00:20:27,579
We have Roscoe's.
483
00:20:27,604 --> 00:20:30,204
They have an Obama special.
484
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:32,704
Always down for anything Obama.
485
00:20:32,906 --> 00:20:34,942
Should we go?
486
00:20:35,249 --> 00:20:37,063
Uh...
487
00:20:37,144 --> 00:20:38,511
Yeah.
488
00:20:40,052 --> 00:20:42,255
In a minute.
489
00:20:42,289 --> 00:20:43,758
Yeah.
490
00:20:47,185 --> 00:20:49,277
Is it okay if I just...
491
00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:51,614
