-Huh.
173
00:07:10,338 --> 00:07:13,723
-You already know.
-All right.
I'll talk to you later. Okay.
174
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:19,396
Uh, all right, the, uh, girls,
told me to tell you, "Hello."
175
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,565
Oh, the girls, huh?
176
00:07:21,567 --> 00:07:23,400
-Uh, Brie.
-[Sunday] Mm-hmm.
177
00:07:23,819 --> 00:07:25,527
Ellis, Toi, Toi, Ellis.
178
00:07:26,822 --> 00:07:30,532
Toi used to manage/run
my restaurant,
179
00:07:30,534 --> 00:07:33,118
until they became
a big time publicist,
180
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,661
-and a damn good one.
-[chuckles]
181
00:07:34,663 --> 00:07:36,163
I'd like to manage/run
her life,
182
00:07:36,165 --> 00:07:38,540
so I can take her brand
to the next level.
183
00:07:38,617 --> 00:07:40,041
But she won't stay put,
184
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:42,502
always running off
to New Orleans.
185
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:44,546
It's nice to meet you, Toi.
186
00:07:44,623 --> 00:07:47,424
Pleasure. I'll be with you
in a moment.
187
00:07:47,468 --> 00:07:50,427
-Uh, you have to be
at the photo shoot at 12:30.
-Okay.
188
00:07:50,471 --> 00:07:52,137
I have them move at the VFC,
189
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:55,140
thought it'd be nice
to see you glammed up,
in your element.
190
00:07:55,142 --> 00:07:57,601
Interview to follow
and I told them you have
a hard out at 4:00.
191
00:07:57,644 --> 00:07:59,227
-[Sunday] Oh, thank you.
-Interview?
192
00:07:59,605 --> 00:08:00,720
Essence.
193
00:08:01,773 --> 00:08:03,565
That's amazing!
You didn't tell me.
194
00:08:03,642 --> 00:08:06,651
Oh, I thought
I'd mentioned it.
It's just digital.
195
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:08,695
-Still, that's a big deal.
-[Toi] Very.
196
00:08:08,697 --> 00:08:10,730
And hair and makeup
will be there when you arrive.
197
00:08:10,807 --> 00:08:13,617
Makeup's gonna touch you up
before you leave, so you'll be
ready for tonight.
198
00:08:13,619 --> 00:08:16,286
-Oh, you've
thought of everything.
-I know.
199
00:08:16,288 --> 00:08:19,706
And then, the limo is gonna be
here at 6:30, on the dot.
200
00:08:19,741 --> 00:08:21,708
[laughs]
Uh, okay.
201
00:08:21,785 --> 00:08:23,210
Let us take a look at
what you're wearing,
202
00:08:23,286 --> 00:08:25,295
we want to make sure
it vibes with Sunday's dress.
203
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:27,130
Oh, uh...
204
00:08:27,132 --> 00:08:28,632
Well, there's my stuff there.
205
00:08:32,137 --> 00:08:33,595
[Toi] Is this the only option?
206
00:08:34,306 --> 00:08:35,722
Well, yeah,
that's my good suit.
207
00:08:36,391 --> 00:08:38,099
I mean, it's fine,
208
00:08:38,101 --> 00:08:41,144
but, baby, this is Atlanta.
Fine won't do.
209
00:08:41,146 --> 00:08:43,063
Sunday is the belle
of the ball.
210
00:08:43,065 --> 00:08:45,440
That makes you the beau
of the belle of the ball
211
00:08:45,442 --> 00:08:49,194
and the beau of the belle
of the ball's drip
has to be drowning us all.
212
00:08:49,196 --> 00:08:51,571
But, no worries, Toi got you.
213
00:08:51,648 --> 00:08:54,658
I took the liberty
of pulling a few things.
214
00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:58,411
Patterns, textures, florals,
pick one. Which one?
215
00:08:59,498 --> 00:09:00,539
[sighs]
216
00:09:01,959 --> 00:09:04,334
-Black?
-Mmm...
217
00:09:06,964 --> 00:09:08,046
How about this?
218
00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:10,398
Ah, that's not gonna work.
219
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,343
Don't knock it
till you try it on.
Sunday, help.
220
00:09:13,345 --> 00:09:15,887
-No, that's not his style.
-[sighs]
221
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:17,305
-[Sunday] Something else?
-[Toi] You know what? Okay.
222
00:09:21,395 --> 00:09:22,394
Oh.
223
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:24,521
It has black in it.
224
00:09:24,523 --> 00:09:25,730
Yeah and white.
225
00:09:28,652 --> 00:09:30,110
Yeah, okay.
226
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:34,406
Okay, good.
All right, we gotta go.
227
00:09:34,408 --> 00:09:36,241
We need to feed this man.
228
00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:39,869
Uh, can't you just eat here?
I'll order.
229
00:09:39,871 --> 00:09:41,663
I just have a few more things
I want to run by.
230
00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:43,373
No, we have to meet
some people.
231
00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:45,917
[sighs]
Okay, fine.
232
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:47,544
-I'll see you at the shoot.
-[Sunday] Okay.
233
00:09:47,546 --> 00:09:49,254
-Be ready to shine.
-[Sunday] I will.
234
00:09:49,331 --> 00:09:52,382
-It's time to go
to the next level.
-[Sunday] Okay.
235
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:53,550
Nice to meet you, Toi.
236
00:09:54,177 --> 00:09:56,428
Mm-hmm, yeah, me too.
237
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:57,929
[man] All right, thank you.
238
00:09:58,515 --> 00:10:00,599
[chuckles]
239
00:10:00,601 --> 00:10:03,602
Why is everybody dressed like
they're going to church here?
240
00:10:03,678 --> 00:10:05,437
Getting ready to be
in a music video.
241
00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:09,649
Well, Atlanta is all about
the splash and flash.
242
00:10:09,651 --> 00:10:10,692
It's just how we do it.
243
00:10:11,194 --> 00:10:12,736
That is how some do it.
244
00:10:12,738 --> 00:10:14,520
Now don't forget
my cousin, Carroll,
245
00:10:14,522 --> 00:10:17,490
he's just regular folk.
Ain't no, no flash and splash
about him.
246
00:10:17,567 --> 00:10:19,534
We're all just regular folk.
247
00:10:19,611 --> 00:10:21,411
Just some of us
put a little extra on it.
248
00:10:22,497 --> 00:10:23,622
I'm excited to see him.
249
00:10:24,583 --> 00:10:26,916
-There he is!
-[laughs]
250
00:10:26,918 --> 00:10:27,959
Speak of the devil.
251
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:29,044
-[Sunday] Okay.
-[Ellis] Yeah.
252
00:10:29,046 --> 00:10:30,629
What's up? You guys down?
253
00:10:32,174 --> 00:10:34,799
-Say what?
-[both laugh]
254
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:37,135
Hey, boo, good to see you!
255
00:10:37,212 --> 00:10:39,596
-[Ellis] Hey, Shaleena.
-[Sunday] Hello!
256
00:10:39,598 --> 00:10:41,431
This is my girlfriend, Sunday.
Sunday, Shaleena.
257
00:10:41,433 --> 00:10:43,058
-[Sunday] Hi.
-Nice to finally meet you.
258
00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:46,186
-I heard so much about you.
-Nice to meet you too.
259
00:10:46,188 --> 00:10:48,897
-It's been a minute
since our Thanksgiving.
-[Sunday chuckles]
260
00:10:48,899 --> 00:10:51,858
You kicked
that butt in spades.
261
00:10:51,860 --> 00:10:53,860
We kicked that butt in
UNO too,
if I remember correctly.
262
00:10:53,862 --> 00:10:55,862
[Carroll] Yeah, only because
y'all was cheating.
263
00:10:55,864 --> 00:10:58,531
Man, y'all can't stack
no draw fours on draw twos.
264
00:10:58,608 --> 00:10:59,908
UNO play boards even say it.
265
00:10:59,910 --> 00:11:01,368
-[laughs]
-Play board.
266
00:11:01,370 --> 00:11:04,371
-It's the best.
-[all laughing]
267
00:11:04,373 --> 00:11:05,622
Well, how everybody doing?
268
00:11:06,208 --> 00:11:08,041
Mama, Papa, good. Good, good.
269
00:11:08,118 --> 00:11:10,710
And uh, Edna's, uh...
270
00:11:10,712 --> 00:11:12,712
Well, you know,
Edna's stubborn as ever.
271
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:14,747
But she can hoop.
272
00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:16,800
She got scouts
looking at her right now.
273
00:11:16,802 --> 00:11:18,176
And, uh, Brie,
274
00:11:18,178 --> 00:11:19,502
she's getting straight A's.
275
00:11:19,513 --> 00:11:21,930
-Man, that is good.
-[Ellis] Yes, she is.
276
00:11:22,557 --> 00:11:24,891
-And you're a chef now, huh?
-I am.
277
00:11:24,893 --> 00:11:27,560
You know she ain't no pro,
but she can throw down
in the kitchen.
278
00:11:27,637 --> 00:11:28,395
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.
279
00:11:28,471 --> 00:11:30,563
[Ellis] Box it out. yeah.
280
00:11:30,565 --> 00:11:32,857
You know, she even, uh,
selling dinners out the house,
281
00:11:32,859 --> 00:11:34,150
thinking about getting
a little food truck.
282
00:11:34,152 --> 00:11:35,694
Oh!
283
00:11:35,770 --> 00:11:38,321
That's how I started.
What's your specialty?
284
00:11:38,323 --> 00:11:39,239
Everything.
285
00:11:39,241 --> 00:11:41,282
[all laughing]
286
00:11:41,284 --> 00:11:43,034
You all need a kale smoothie?
287
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:45,120
Ooh, that's me.
You want to walk with me?
288
00:11:45,196 --> 00:11:46,121
Sure.
289
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:48,498
So, uh,
290
00:11:48,583 --> 00:11:51,918
I see the mama
and whatshisface got engaged
on IG.
291
00:11:51,995 --> 00:11:53,503
I had to block AS for that.
292
00:11:53,547 --> 00:11:55,922
Oh, you didn't have to
do that.
293
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,801
Danny, he's, he's good people.
294
00:11:59,878 --> 00:12:02,345
Man, I told you
about messing with
the left-handed musicians.
295
00:12:02,806 --> 00:12:04,764
They ain't your paces,
296
00:12:04,766 --> 00:12:06,182
they ain't never satisfied.
297
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:07,308
Can't trust them either.
298
00:12:09,187 --> 00:12:10,729
There you go.
299
00:12:10,731 --> 00:12:13,648
Not sure if that
left-handed rule
apply to chefs, but,
300
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:15,525
don't do anybody wrong
that cook your food.
301
00:12:16,319 --> 00:12:18,528
Sounds like good advice to me.
302
00:12:18,530 --> 00:12:20,905
Shaleena's ordering.
Wants to know
if you want something.
303
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:22,365
You know, my food
should be ready.
304
00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:24,200
I can get you something.
What you want?
305
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:25,952
Quit playing, man. You know
what I like, cuz.
306
00:12:26,029 --> 00:12:28,329
I know what you want.
I'll be right back.
307
00:12:30,584 --> 00:12:33,251
[indistinct chatter]
308
00:12:35,130 --> 00:12:36,629
Not to be in your business,
309
00:12:37,758 --> 00:12:39,924
but, then again, I am.
310
00:12:41,928 --> 00:12:43,511

-[Carroll] Old friends?
-[Sunday] Mm-hmm.
324
00:13:37,067 --> 00:13:39,025
He hurt you back in the day,
I remember that.

00:13:44,908 --> 00:13:46,199
I would never do that.
328
00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:49,327
You ain't playing games?
329
00:13:51,832 --> 00:13:52,997
You loyal?
330
00:13:54,543 --> 00:13:56,626
Are you sure
you picked the right career,

more like a psychic reading
or a cross-examination.

00:22:47,241 --> 00:22:49,533
Wait, I've been trying to get
a meeting with him for years.
519
00:22:49,535 --> 00:22:51,369
[Hosea] Well, you're
sitting down with him tonight.
520
00:22:51,371 --> 00:22:52,661
On the night of your premiere.
521
00:22:52,705 --> 00:22:55,122
It's a good look
and it look good on you.
522
00:22:56,834 --> 00:22:58,209
[Toi] Sunday, they're
ready for you.
523
00:22:58,285 --> 00:22:59,794
Oh, okay.
524
00:22:59,796 --> 00:23:02,755
Sunday, we make
a good team, baby.
525
00:23:02,757 --> 00:23:04,298
This is what we've been
waiting for.
526
00:23:11,015 --> 00:23:11,931
Listen,
527
00:23:13,351 --> 00:23:14,350
just breathe.
528
00:23:16,270 --> 00:23:18,312
[exhales]
Okay.
529
00:23:20,066 --> 00:23:21,941
Remember why you wanted this.
530
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:25,694
Remember your love
for what you do.
531
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:30,449
Remember who you are
and show them that.
532
00:23:32,954 --> 00:23:34,620
Just speak from the heart,
you got this.
533
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,123
I got this.
534
00:23:40,628 --> 00:23:41,710
Now go get it.
535
00:23:51,889 --> 00:23:54,140
[glass clinking]
536
00:23:54,142 --> 00:23:57,476
Ladies and gentlemen,
can I have
your attention please?
537
00:23:57,478 --> 00:24:00,020
Tonight is her special night.
538
00:24:00,022 --> 00:24:03,816
The toast of our town,
the hottest young chef
in the country.
539
00:24:03,818 --> 00:24:08,112
She is the appetizer,
the main course
and the dessert.
540
00:24:10,741 --> 00:24:16,328
Without further ado,
please welcome the masterful
chef, Sunday St. James.
541
00:24:17,206 --> 00:24:19,623
[all applauding]
542
00:24:21,043 --> 00:24:24,044
Whoo! Okay, um...
543
00:24:25,465 --> 00:24:28,507
Moments like these are moments
that people only dream of,
544
00:24:29,051 --> 00:24:31,802
when the love for what you do
545
00:24:31,804 --> 00:24:34,889
and the love for the people
you do it with,
546
00:24:34,891 --> 00:24:37,057
and do it for,
547
00:24:37,059 --> 00:24:40,519
all combine into
this perfect savory stew.
548
00:24:41,314 --> 00:24:42,229
So,
549
00:24:42,607 --> 00:24:43,814
please indulge me
550
00:24:43,891 --> 00:24:46,192
as I shout out
551
00:24:46,268 --> 00:24:48,152
some of my
special ingredients.
552
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:49,195
[woman] Okay!
553
00:24:49,614 --> 00:24:51,530
Mindu.
554
00:24:51,532 --> 00:24:55,701
Girl, you have been
my right hand
and my left hand.
555
00:24:57,121 --> 00:24:58,829
And no matter
where you go next,
556
00:24:59,248 --> 00:25:00,647
what you do next,
557
00:25:01,709 --> 00:25:06,962
you will forever be a gem
in the crown that is VFC.
558
00:25:07,757 --> 00:25:09,155
Thank you.
559
00:25:10,510 --> 00:25:14,345
To my absolutely stellar
kitchen and wait staff,
560
00:25:14,421 --> 00:25:15,738
the best in all of Atlanta.
561
00:25:15,740 --> 00:25:17,806
I want to thank y'all,
I love y'all so much.
562
00:25:17,808 --> 00:25:19,350
Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
563
00:25:21,395 --> 00:25:22,895
And to Toi,
564
00:25:24,273 --> 00:25:26,398
my dear friend,
565
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,237
thank you for all of your
time, talent and tenacity.
566
00:25:33,241 --> 00:25:37,910
Um, I am especially grateful
to Chef Tanya Holland.
567
00:25:38,579 --> 00:25:40,204
Because of her,
568
00:25:40,206 --> 00:25:42,414
I'm able to share my heart
and my soul food
with all of you.
569
00:25:42,917 --> 00:25:45,125
Thank you all and enjoy.
570
00:25:46,671 --> 00:25:50,965
[all cheer and applaud]
571
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,054
[Tanya] Atlanta can be
a tough town to crack,
572
00:25:57,056 --> 00:26:01,767
but Sunday St. James
has made VFC a city staple.
573
00:26:01,769 --> 00:26:03,435
What Sunday is done with VFC
574
00:26:03,437 --> 00:26:05,396
it's truly remarkable.
575
00:26:05,398 --> 00:26:09,441
Embracing a Southern cuisine
with a vegetarian menu
is playing with fire,
576
00:26:09,443 --> 00:26:12,361
but she has sparked
a culinary revolution.
577
00:26:12,363 --> 00:26:14,363
[Tanya] Sunday St. James
is here with me today,
578
00:26:14,365 --> 00:26:18,492
representing
the next generation
of exciting chefs
579
00:26:18,494 --> 00:26:21,245
and she's sharing
her delicious
vegetarian cuisine
580
00:26:21,247 --> 00:26:24,748
that she creates
with heart and soul.
581
00:26:24,825 --> 00:26:27,543
Wow! Tanya, thank you so much
for having me on
582
00:26:27,545 --> 00:26:30,296
and for creating this lane
and opportunity.
583
00:26:31,007 --> 00:26:32,906
You inspire me.
584
00:26:32,908 --> 00:26:35,509
This is why I've done
all the work that I've done
all these years,
585
00:26:35,511 --> 00:26:37,970
to make room
for the next generation
586
00:26:37,972 --> 00:26:43,100
of inspired and motivated
and talented, young cooks.
587
00:26:43,102 --> 00:26:45,894
Well, it's an honor
to be receiving that.
588
00:26:45,938 --> 00:26:49,273
[laughs]
You're doing it
and you deserve it.
589
00:26:49,275 --> 00:26:51,191
What are we gonna
make together?
590
00:26:51,268 --> 00:26:55,487
I would love to make, um,
some vegan "chicken".
591
00:26:55,489 --> 00:26:57,865
-Oh!
-Fried "chicken" inspired by
592
00:26:57,867 --> 00:27:00,576
your famous
fried chicken recipe.
593
00:27:00,611 --> 00:27:03,329
All right, all right, well,
you have to have
the right spices.
594
00:27:03,331 --> 00:27:04,738
-[Sunday] Oh, yes, definitely.
-To begin with.
595
00:27:04,740 --> 00:27:06,332
-[Sunday] We need
the seasoning, okay.
-Yeah.
596
00:27:06,334 --> 00:27:08,709
And I'd also like to make it
gluten-free as well.
597
00:27:08,711 --> 00:27:10,628
-Like, you use
a gluten-free flour
-Rice flour.
598
00:27:10,704 --> 00:27:14,173
-Mm-hmm.
-Yes and a really clean oil
to fry it in.
599
00:27:14,175 --> 00:27:17,968
Yeah, but I trust you.
You have a great palette.
I'm so proud of you.
600
00:27:18,045 --> 00:27:19,544
[Sunday] Thank you.
601
00:27:32,026 --> 00:27:35,277
Sunday and I
have known each other
since high school,
602
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:37,613
and I drove all the way
from New Orleans
603
00:27:37,615 --> 00:27:40,115
to see what all the fuss
was about for myself,
604
00:27:40,159 --> 00:27:43,911
and I got to tell you,
everything was
just perfect, everything.
605
00:27:43,913 --> 00:27:46,163
Uh, you know and I'm not even
a vegetarian,
606
00:27:46,165 --> 00:27:48,165
but now, I can see
how I could be.
607
00:27:48,959 --> 00:27:50,191
And,
608
00:27:50,193 --> 00:27:52,336
you know, Sunday
didn't disappoint, but
609
00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:54,838
then again, she never does.
610
00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:58,425
Now, get your butts
down to VFC
611
00:27:58,502 --> 00:28:03,305
and get yourself
the best bowl of gumbo
you've ever had in your life.
612
00:28:03,307 --> 00:28:05,891
Thank you for watching
Tanya's Kitchen Table.
613
00:28:05,893 --> 00:28:06,850
Bon Appetit.
614
00:28:07,311 --> 00:28:10,521

What a night!

You know, I'm just so happy
I could make this
happen for her.
635
00:29:14,420 --> 00:29:17,629
And what is it exactly
that you do for her, Hosea?
636
00:29:18,132 --> 00:29:19,465
I'm a connector.
637
00:29:19,467 --> 00:29:20,424
I make things happen.
638
00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:22,009
Connector.
639
00:29:23,554 --> 00:29:24,928
Is that something
you get paid for?
640
00:29:25,514 --> 00:29:27,347
I'm a simple man.
641
00:29:27,349 --> 00:29:29,183
It's really
the gratification for me.
642
00:29:29,185 --> 00:29:31,101
Making people's dreams
come true.
643
00:29:32,271 --> 00:29:34,354
The millions I make from this
is just the icing on the cake.
644
00:29:37,401 --> 00:29:39,167
Okay.
645
00:29:42,281 --> 00:29:44,865
Sunday ever tell you
I was one of the first
investors in VFC?
646
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,195
No, she didn't mention it.
647
00:29:51,999 --> 00:29:54,833
Yeah, we've been talking about
locking down a second location
for a while now.
648
00:30:00,174 --> 00:30:01,131
So, what do you do?
649
00:30:02,468 --> 00:30:03,509
I'm a plumber.
650
00:30:04,345 --> 00:30:05,469
Somebody's got to do it.
651
00:30:06,972 --> 00:30:08,096
How many locations you got?
652
00:30:08,641 --> 00:30:09,640
One.
653
00:30:12,937 --> 00:30:13,852
Good for you.
654
00:30:17,858 --> 00:30:18,732
Shane's here.
655
00:30:19,568 --> 00:30:20,526
Showtime.
656
00:30:24,031 --> 00:30:25,197
Good meeting you, brother.
657
00:30:36,001 --> 00:30:37,960
Oh, it's healthy food
for the soul.
658
00:30:37,962 --> 00:30:39,878
It's not a trend,
it's a lifestyle.
659
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,922
No hard pitch needed.
660
00:30:41,924 --> 00:30:43,582
I've had your food.
661
00:30:45,135 --> 00:30:48,136
I couldn't sleep
after Hosea brought me here
for dinner.
662
00:30:49,557 --> 00:30:52,850
Now, I hear
you're interested in L.A.
and Brooklyn?
663
00:30:52,926 --> 00:30:53,767
Mm-hmm.
664
00:30:53,769 --> 00:30:55,143
Well, I like Brooklyn.
665
00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:56,937
I mean, it's right there
in my own backyard.
666
00:30:57,731 --> 00:30:59,748
You think you could get to
New York next week
667
00:30:59,750 --> 00:31:02,651
and maybe come check out
some of the locations
we've identified already?
668
00:31:02,903 --> 00:31:04,936
Maybe.
669
00:31:05,013 --> 00:31:08,407
I, I'm just in the process of
searching for a replacement
for my number two.
670
00:31:08,409 --> 00:31:09,741
Okay, I understand.
671
00:31:10,578 --> 00:31:12,828
So, how about
the following week?
672
00:31:13,581 --> 00:31:16,164
Um, I, I'm, I'm not sure,
673
00:31:16,208 --> 00:31:18,959
I, I just have some business
in New Orleans.
674
00:31:20,254 --> 00:31:22,546
Okay, let me know
when you're ready.
675
00:31:22,548 --> 00:31:24,715
All right?
I'd love to move fast.
676
00:31:25,718 --> 00:31:27,467
Prime real estate doesn't sit.
677
00:31:27,502 --> 00:31:29,845
Um, well, let us check
the calendar
678
00:31:29,847 --> 00:31:33,056
and, uh, we'll get back to you
in a day or two?
679
00:31:33,726 --> 00:31:34,725
Sounds good.
680
00:31:35,686 --> 00:31:36,727
So, um,
681
00:31:37,938 --> 00:31:39,229
let's make it happen, people.
682
00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:41,648
-Cheers.
-[Shane] Cheers.
683
00:31:49,408 --> 00:31:51,116
Look, I've got
a plane to catch.
684
00:31:52,036 --> 00:31:54,077
-It's a pleasure to meet you.
-Yes.
685
00:31:54,079 --> 00:31:56,413
-Thank you for coming.
-Good luck to you.
686
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:58,081
-It's always a pleasure,
my man.
-I'd like to hear from you.
687
00:31:58,083 --> 00:31:59,808
Absolutely.
688
00:31:59,810 --> 00:32:02,669
Here's what I'm thinking.
Maybe, we visit
on our way back.
689
00:32:02,671 --> 00:32:04,630
-[Shane] Just contact
my assistant.
-Absolutely.
690
00:32:05,507 --> 00:32:06,572
[Hosea] Have a safe flight.
691
00:32:06,574 --> 00:32:07,507
[usher] All right,
thank you, sir.
692
00:32:07,509 --> 00:32:08,425
[Hosea] All right.
693
00:32:13,933 --> 00:32:14,848
What was that?
694
00:32:16,018 --> 00:32:17,059
"Maybe"?
695
00:32:17,061 --> 00:32:18,226
"I'm not sure"?
696
00:32:20,022 --> 00:32:21,647
I, I thought it went well.
697
00:32:22,858 --> 00:32:24,816
Yeah, where is Sunday?
698
00:32:24,818 --> 00:32:27,361
I mean, it's one thing
to be all in love. Cool.
699
00:32:29,114 --> 00:32:30,864
But it's another thing
to lose your hunger.
700
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,357
That's not you.
701
00:32:33,702 --> 00:32:35,827
I'm still hungry,
I'm just not thirsty.
702
00:32:37,998 --> 00:32:40,499
-You may have just left
millions on the table.
-We'll see.
703
00:32:43,087 --> 00:32:44,127
We'll see?
704
00:32:51,261 --> 00:32:52,260
Okay.
705
00:32:54,431 --> 00:32:56,548
Well, you know how to find me.
706
00:32:57,643 --> 00:33:00,727
Why don't you hit me up when
you're ready to do what you
said you wanted to do.
707
00:33:01,814 --> 00:33:04,940
Before all the sweet nothings
got all in your ear,
708
00:33:06,235 --> 00:33:07,401
and got you twisted.
709
00:33:34,555 --> 00:33:35,995
[Sunday] Hey!
710
00:33:38,726 --> 00:33:41,143
-I've been looking
all over for you.
-Here I am.
711
00:33:41,895 --> 00:33:44,396
-You're ready?
-You are. Yes, I am.
712
00:33:49,987 --> 00:33:50,944
Thank you.
713
00:33:52,781 --> 00:33:53,855

716
00:34:13,969 --> 00:34:17,637
Well, Tanya's producers
want to talk to me about
doing something with them.
717
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,723
They really loved the segment.
718
00:34:20,893 --> 00:34:22,059
-Yeah. Do you believe it?
-All right.
719
00:34:22,135 --> 00:34:23,602
-That's super great.
-Yeah.
720
00:34:27,399 --> 00:34:29,316
Why didn't you tell me
they interviewed you?
721
00:34:30,694 --> 00:34:32,027
I wanted it to be a surprise.
722
00:34:33,072 --> 00:34:34,446
Oh, well, it was.
723
00:34:36,158 --> 00:34:38,200
-I think I like surprises now.
-[chuckles softly]
724
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:46,833
Oh, Mindu,
725
00:34:46,835 --> 00:34:49,086
Mindu couldn't stop
raving about you.
726
00:34:49,088 --> 00:34:50,212
She said you're a keeper.
727
00:34:55,177 --> 00:34:57,094
You know, I was excited
728
00:34:57,096 --> 00:35:01,223
to see you up there
on the screen and to see
how happy you were,
729
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:05,227
but I didn't know you were
still doing business
with your ex.
730
00:35:06,355 --> 00:35:07,395
-Hosea?
-[Ellis] Yeah.
731
00:35:07,815 --> 00:35:08,730
Hosea.
732
00:35:11,318 --> 00:35:12,526
Well, he...
733
00:35:14,238 --> 00:35:15,320
He, um,
734
00:35:15,823 --> 00:35:18,448
connected me with an investor.
735
00:35:18,525 --> 00:35:21,701
You know how much
I've been dreaming about
opening a second spot.
736
00:35:22,704 --> 00:35:24,454
I didn't know you were
dreaming about it with him.
737
00:35:26,125 --> 00:35:27,874
Ellis, it's just business.
738
00:35:27,876 --> 00:35:28,792
Does he know that?
739
00:35:30,796 --> 00:35:31,753
Look,
740
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:34,756
we were together,
741
00:35:35,467 --> 00:35:36,591
and now we're friends.
742
00:35:37,136 --> 00:35:39,469
Just like you and Anastasia.
743
00:35:39,546 --> 00:35:42,013
So, you have to make room
for my friends,
like I make room for yours.
744
00:35:44,685 --> 00:35:47,811
[sighs deeply]
745
00:35:52,317 --> 00:35:54,734
You know, when I'm happy
or when I have, uh,
746
00:35:55,404 --> 00:35:57,654
good news or bad news,
whatever it is,
747
00:35:57,731 --> 00:35:59,364
you're the first person
I want to share it with.
748
00:36:01,535 --> 00:36:02,993
When I have dreams,
749
00:36:02,995 --> 00:36:03,994
you're there.
750
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,163
You're a part of it.
751
00:36:07,291 --> 00:36:08,999
I want to be
a part of your dreams too.
752
00:36:12,421 --> 00:36:13,336
But,
753
00:36:17,968 --> 00:36:19,301
it seems like
754
00:36:20,637 --> 00:36:21,736
Hosea
755
00:36:22,764 --> 00:36:25,098
knows more about your life
than I do.
756
00:36:25,175 --> 00:36:26,725
Oh, no.
757
00:36:29,563 --> 00:36:30,520
Ellis.
758
00:36:30,898 --> 00:36:32,147
When I'm with you,
759
00:36:33,233 --> 00:36:34,941
I get a break
from all that stuff.
760
00:36:36,028 --> 00:36:38,403
You're my safe space,
my comfort.
761
00:36:43,327 --> 00:36:46,411
Business is business,
it's not private,
it's not intimate.
762
00:36:47,664 --> 00:36:50,749
You know, Hosea
set up a meeting, so what?
763
00:36:51,793 --> 00:36:53,919
He doesn't know about my dad
and how bad it is,
764
00:36:54,463 --> 00:36:55,879
or how...
765
00:36:59,468 --> 00:37:03,136
I gotta put this whole
second location thing on hold,
766
00:37:03,213 --> 00:37:05,222
until I figure out
what's going on with him.
767
00:37:06,850 --> 00:37:10,143
I share things with you
that I don't share
with anybody else
768
00:37:10,145 --> 00:37:12,229
because I can
tell you anything.
769
00:37:14,483 --> 00:37:16,233
So, yeah,
he knows about business,
770
00:37:16,235 --> 00:37:18,151
but you, you get me.
771
00:37:27,412 --> 00:37:28,411
I love you.
772
00:37:36,296 --> 00:37:37,662
