Previously on
Bob Hearts Abishola...
2
00:00:10,901 --> 00:00:13,338
I want you to start working
on the warehouse floor.
3
00:00:13,382 --> 00:00:16,298
Packing, shipping, cleaning.
4
00:00:16,341 --> 00:00:17,908
That sounds hard.
5
00:00:17,951 --> 00:00:19,388
It is.
6
00:00:19,431 --> 00:00:22,130
But after a year or two,
you'll be a different person.
7
00:00:22,173 --> 00:00:24,306
You'll have a new respectfor the company
8
00:00:24,349 --> 00:00:25,785
and a new respectfor yourself.
9
00:00:25,829 --> 00:00:28,136
Yeah, but a year?
10
00:00:28,179 --> 00:00:29,746
Or two.
11
00:00:30,703 --> 00:00:32,009
[both chuckle]
12
00:00:32,053 --> 00:00:34,664
So, once we are married,
I will be your oko.
13
00:00:34,707 --> 00:00:35,752
Oko.
14
00:00:35,795 --> 00:00:38,059
You just called yourselfa shovel.
15
00:00:38,102 --> 00:00:39,495
Oko.
16
00:00:39,538 --> 00:00:41,105
That means "stone."
17
00:00:41,149 --> 00:00:43,586
All right. Anyway, before
we officially become
18
00:00:43,629 --> 00:00:45,544
okoand iyawo...[laughs]
19
00:00:45,588 --> 00:00:48,330
Male genitalia and wife.
20
00:00:49,287 --> 00:00:50,941
Before we become that,
21
00:00:50,984 --> 00:00:52,943
there's something I'd
like for you to do.
22
00:00:54,075 --> 00:00:55,902
Read this e-mail
for me, will you?
23
00:00:55,946 --> 00:00:58,775
Is it spam? Look, we might haveour Nigerian princes,
24
00:00:58,818 --> 00:01:00,690
but you haveyour Publishers Clearing House.
25
00:01:00,733 --> 00:01:01,952
Read it.
26
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:03,693
Uncle Tunde has stillnot gotten the magazines
27
00:01:03,736 --> 00:01:04,955
from that timeyou told him...
28
00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:06,870
Just read it.
29
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,917
"The Michigan UndergarmentManufacturers' Association
30
00:01:10,961 --> 00:01:12,745
"is proud to announce
31
00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:14,834
that Bob Wheeler has been namedBusinessman of the Year."
32
00:01:14,878 --> 00:01:16,184
This is not spam.
33
00:01:16,227 --> 00:01:17,402
It is not.
34
00:01:17,446 --> 00:01:19,361
Oh, this is wonderful, Bob.
35
00:01:19,404 --> 00:01:21,276
Eh, it's no big deal.
36
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,712
Oh.
37
00:01:22,755 --> 00:01:24,583
It's just some
stupid, fancy dinner
38
00:01:24,627 --> 00:01:27,369
where everybody stands up
and gives dumb speeches
39
00:01:27,412 --> 00:01:30,023
about how great I am.
40
00:01:30,067 --> 00:01:31,373
I see.
41
00:01:31,416 --> 00:01:33,288
So, do you want
to go with me?I do not.
42
00:01:33,331 --> 00:01:34,376
What? Why?
43
00:01:34,419 --> 00:01:36,465
You just saidit was dumb and stupid.
44
00:01:36,508 --> 00:01:38,162
I was being humble.
45
00:01:38,206 --> 00:01:40,904
Don't do that.It is an ugly trait.
46
00:01:40,947 --> 00:01:43,211
What, I'm just supposed
to start crowing
47
00:01:43,254 --> 00:01:44,603
about what a
great guy I am?
48
00:01:44,647 --> 00:01:45,822
Are you great?
49
00:01:45,865 --> 00:01:48,129
Yes, I'm the damn
Businessman of the Year.
50
00:01:48,172 --> 00:01:49,608
Then act like it.
51
00:01:49,652 --> 00:01:51,654
Fine. Abishola,
52
00:01:51,697 --> 00:01:53,873
I am the best
at what I do,
53
00:01:53,917 --> 00:01:55,919
and I'm getting an
award that says so.
54
00:01:55,962 --> 00:01:58,095
I want you to be
there when I get it.
55
00:01:59,096 --> 00:02:00,880
In that case, I'll go.
56
00:02:00,924 --> 00:02:02,143
Thank you.
57
00:02:02,186 --> 00:02:04,406
Even if you do sounda little full of yourself.
58
00:02:05,407 --> 00:02:09,237
["Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing]
59
00:02:28,995 --> 00:02:30,345
I'll show her.
60
00:02:30,388 --> 00:02:31,911
Pack her in a box.
61
00:02:31,955 --> 00:02:34,436
Ship her to an old folks' home.
62
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:44,968
You don't send Christina
down here.
63
00:02:45,011 --> 00:02:49,059
You don't send Bob. Perfect Bob.
64
00:02:59,983 --> 00:03:02,899
Get out of town.
65

[tape rips]
66
00:03:25,965 --> 00:03:27,271
That's all of them.
67
00:03:27,315 --> 00:03:28,881
You want me to get
another pallet?
68
00:03:28,925 --> 00:03:30,318
Oh, that's
more than en...Uh-uh.
69
00:03:30,361 --> 00:03:31,884
Boxes are in the back
70
00:03:31,928 --> 00:03:33,190
behind the shipping labels.
71
00:03:34,191 --> 00:03:35,584
Uh, while you're there,
72
00:03:35,627 --> 00:03:36,976
organize the
shipping labels.
73
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:38,543
You got it.
74
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,775
What?
75
00:03:52,818 --> 00:03:54,994
So, my cooking is not
good enough for you?
76
00:03:55,038 --> 00:03:57,301
[scoffs] I just wanted
to mix it up a little bit.
77
00:03:57,345 --> 00:03:59,782
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize
you were such a foodie.
78
00:04:01,218 --> 00:04:02,567
Hello.
79
00:04:02,611 --> 00:04:03,742
Hi.
Hey.
80
00:04:03,786 --> 00:04:05,353
Abishola brings her lunch
every day.
81
00:04:05,396 --> 00:04:06,919
You don't give her a hard time.
82
00:04:06,963 --> 00:04:08,921
She has brought the same meal
for nine years.
83
00:04:08,965 --> 00:04:12,273
Her taste buds are
practically dead in her mouth.
84
00:04:12,316 --> 00:04:14,100
Kemi, unfortunately,
85
00:04:14,144 --> 00:04:16,407
I won't be able to have dinner
with you on Friday night.
86
00:04:16,451 --> 00:04:18,148
We have no plans on Friday.Good,
87
00:04:18,191 --> 00:04:20,716
because I have to go to a gala
where Bob is being honored
88
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:22,892
for his business excellence.
89
00:04:22,935 --> 00:04:24,894
Ooh, nice one, sock man.
90
00:04:24,937 --> 00:04:27,549
It is not nice. It is wonderful.
91
00:04:27,592 --> 00:04:29,420
Oh.
92
00:04:29,464 --> 00:04:31,335
My fiancé is the best
at what he does,
93
00:04:31,379 --> 00:04:33,859
and he's being named
Businessman of the Year.
94
00:04:33,903 --> 00:04:35,818
I'm very happy for you
95
00:04:35,861 --> 00:04:37,950
and extremely jealous.
96
00:04:37,994 --> 00:04:39,778
Aw, thank you.
Mm.
97
00:04:39,822 --> 00:04:42,781
Didn't Chukwuemeka just winEmployee of the Month?
98
00:04:42,825 --> 00:04:44,609
Of the month,Gloria.
99
00:04:44,653 --> 00:04:46,132
Next to Bob's
achievement,
100
00:04:46,176 --> 00:04:47,308
it's almost pathetic.
101
00:04:47,351 --> 00:04:49,484
Aw. Thank you.
102
00:04:49,527 --> 00:04:51,790
Arm candy
103
00:04:51,834 --> 00:04:52,878
at a big gala.
104
00:04:52,922 --> 00:04:54,358
You sure you're
ready for that?
105
00:04:54,402 --> 00:04:56,055
Of course I am.
106
00:04:56,099 --> 00:04:57,318
Okay. I'm just saying,
107
00:04:57,361 --> 00:04:59,363
when it comes to chitchatting
and joking,
108
00:04:59,407 --> 00:05:00,799
these are not
your strengths.
109
00:05:00,843 --> 00:05:02,148
KEMI:
But you do have
110
00:05:02,192 --> 00:05:03,672
other great qualities, huh?
111
00:05:03,715 --> 00:05:05,500
You are tall.Mm-hmm.
112
00:05:10,548 --> 00:05:12,158
Just remember you're
there to support Bob.
113
00:05:12,202 --> 00:05:14,509
Like a first lady.Mm-hmm.
114
00:05:14,552 --> 00:05:16,641
The first lady of socks.GLORIA:
Yeah, that's good.
115
00:05:16,685 --> 00:05:20,036
Just try not to give
off so much Hillary.
116
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:22,473
Embrace your inner Melania.
117
00:05:22,517 --> 00:05:24,170
Melania?
118
00:05:24,214 --> 00:05:25,476
Yes, Melania.
119
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,349
She's beautiful, poised,
and, like Abishola,
120
00:05:28,392 --> 00:05:29,611
she's a hardworking immigrant
121
00:05:29,654 --> 00:05:32,831
on the arm of
a large, sweaty businessman.
122
00:05:32,875 --> 00:05:34,485
GLORIA:
Oh, my God.
123
00:05:34,529 --> 00:05:36,313
You areMelania.
124
00:05:36,357 --> 00:05:38,184
Can't I be Michelle?No.
125
00:05:38,228 --> 00:05:40,361
There's only one Michelle.
126
00:05:45,714 --> 00:05:47,890
Wow.Look at you,
127
00:05:47,933 --> 00:05:50,893
my plus-size James Bond.
128
00:05:50,936 --> 00:05:52,373
I'll take it.
129
00:05:53,417 --> 00:05:55,419
If someone
has to win an award
130
00:05:55,463 --> 00:05:57,726
for White Male Businessman
of the Year,
131
00:05:57,769 --> 00:05:59,858
I'm so glad it's you.[sighs]
132
00:05:59,902 --> 00:06:02,165
The award is
not just for white men.
133
00:06:02,208 --> 00:06:03,688
[chuckles] Is that right?
134
00:06:03,732 --> 00:06:05,516
Yeah. My buddy Greg Ramirez
won it a couple years ago.
135
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,692
He's half something.
136
00:06:07,736 --> 00:06:09,868
Wow. Okay.
137
00:06:09,912 --> 00:06:11,566
Clearly, there's no problem.
138
00:06:11,609 --> 00:06:13,306
Look, I hear what you're saying,
139
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:15,657
but what am I supposed to do,
not accept the award?
140
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:17,528
No. No.
141
00:06:17,572 --> 00:06:20,139
You have earned it.
142
00:06:20,183 --> 00:06:21,880
I mean, only people
143
00:06:21,924 --> 00:06:24,622
who benefit from the system
have the power to change it,
144
00:06:24,666 --> 00:06:27,495
but tonight's about you.
145
00:06:29,105 --> 00:06:31,020
I'm on your side, Bobby.
146
00:06:31,063 --> 00:06:32,543
Things were better
147
00:06:32,587 --> 00:06:34,066
when men were in charge.
148
00:06:35,111 --> 00:06:37,069
That is not my side.
149
00:06:37,113 --> 00:06:39,594
This industry
was always great to women
150
00:06:39,637 --> 00:06:41,683
as long as you knew
how to play the game.
151
00:06:41,726 --> 00:06:44,990
Let the fellas have a
look here, a grab there.
152
00:06:45,034 --> 00:06:48,080
The fresher they got,
the more I got.
153
00:06:48,124 --> 00:06:50,648
Yeah, by "fresher," you mean
"sexually assault-ier."
154
00:06:50,692 --> 00:06:52,041
DOTTIE:
Honey,
155
00:06:52,084 --> 00:06:55,000
you got to stop listening
to those lesbians on NPR.
156
00:06:56,001 --> 00:06:57,786
Mom, I agree
with Christina.
157
00:06:57,829 --> 00:07:00,179
Sure, you do.
158
00:07:00,223 --> 00:07:02,355
Don't wink at me.
159
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:03,966
[Christina scoffs]
160
00:07:04,009 --> 00:07:05,750
Turn your nose
up all you want.
161
00:07:05,794 --> 00:07:07,012
You would've
162
00:07:07,056 --> 00:07:08,623
done well back in the day.
163
00:07:08,666 --> 00:07:10,494
Oh, please.I'm just saying,
164
00:07:10,538 --> 00:07:12,061
you got a butt for business.
165
00:07:12,104 --> 00:07:14,411
Mom, that is offensive.
166
00:07:15,630 --> 00:07:17,588
Petra's Pilates every Tuesday.
167
00:07:17,632 --> 00:07:19,285
It's paying off.
168
00:07:19,329 --> 00:07:21,244
Mom!That's it.
169
00:07:21,287 --> 00:07:24,726
Let them think they're
getting away with something.
170
00:07:28,077 --> 00:07:29,426
[clicks]
171
00:07:29,470 --> 00:07:31,297
I love that sound.
172
00:07:31,341 --> 00:07:33,082
I never got to punch out
upstairs.
173
00:07:33,125 --> 00:07:35,519
No matter if I came in or not,
I still got paid.
174
00:07:35,563 --> 00:07:38,435
[clicks]A lot.
175
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:39,567
Whereas if we don't
punch in and out,
176
00:07:39,610 --> 00:07:40,611
we lose our health benefits.
177
00:07:40,655 --> 00:07:42,787
[chuckles] Crazy.
178
00:07:42,831 --> 00:07:46,095
Douglas, you have done
a good job this week.
179
00:07:46,138 --> 00:07:47,618
Really?
Yes.
180
00:07:47,662 --> 00:07:50,491
To be honest,
from our previous interactions,
181
00:07:50,534 --> 00:07:54,320
we expected you to be
a worthless piece of excrement.
182
00:07:54,364 --> 00:07:56,105
That's fair.
183
00:07:56,148 --> 00:07:58,499
But we were wrong.It has been a pleasure.
184
00:07:58,542 --> 00:08:00,762
Thanks, guys.
185
00:08:00,805 --> 00:08:02,677
I really appreciate it.[all chuckle]
186
00:08:03,678 --> 00:08:05,506
May I give you a bro hug?
187
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:08,378
That'd be great. [chuckles]
188
00:08:09,379 --> 00:08:11,555
[grunts, chuckles]
189
00:08:11,599 --> 00:08:13,514
So, Friday night, huh?
190
00:08:13,557 --> 00:08:14,819
Yes, it is.
191
00:08:14,863 --> 00:08:16,473
You guys just go on home
192
00:08:16,517 --> 00:08:18,170
straight after work?Oh, no.
193
00:08:18,214 --> 00:08:20,216
My wife often has me
stop at the store
194
00:08:20,259 --> 00:08:21,652
to pick up sundries.[chuckles]
195
00:08:21,696 --> 00:08:23,262
And I sometimes use
the exercise equipment
196
00:08:23,306 --> 00:08:24,525
in the park.Mm-hmm.
197
00:08:26,527 --> 00:08:27,789
'Cause I was thinking
198
00:08:27,832 --> 00:08:30,356
it's the end of my first week.
199
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,358
Maybe we go get a drink
or something.
200
00:08:42,934 --> 00:08:45,371
Perhaps we could gofor one drink.[chuckles]
201
00:08:45,415 --> 00:08:46,764
Really? That'd be great.
202
00:08:46,808 --> 00:08:48,636
I know this little
hole-in-the-wall right near me.
203
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,681
[dance music playing]
204
00:08:52,030 --> 00:08:54,206
What do you guys think?
205
00:08:54,250 --> 00:08:57,688
I did not expect the entrance
to be an actual hole in a wall.
206
00:08:57,732 --> 00:09:00,648
Right? Tatiana!
207
00:09:00,691 --> 00:09:02,563
These are my guys.
208
00:09:02,606 --> 00:09:04,695
Treat 'em right.
209
00:09:05,740 --> 00:09:09,657
This music is so loud, I can
feel the bass in my bones.
210
00:09:10,658 --> 00:09:13,399
I can feel the bass
in my bones!
211
00:09:19,449 --> 00:09:21,016
There he is.
212
00:09:21,059 --> 00:09:23,453
Michigan's Undergarment
Manufacturers' Association's
213
00:09:23,496 --> 00:09:25,368
Businessman of the Year!
214
00:09:25,411 --> 00:09:26,761
Hello, Bob.
215
00:09:26,804 --> 00:09:29,241
Well, I believe you mean,
"Hello,
216
00:09:29,285 --> 00:09:31,940
"Michigan's Undergarment
Manufacturers' Association's
217

Businessman of the Year!"
218
00:09:33,594 --> 00:09:35,030
[laughs]
219
00:09:35,073 --> 00:09:37,293
Yeah, we don't have to do
that whole title every time.
220
00:09:37,336 --> 00:09:38,555
[sobbing]
221
00:09:38,599 --> 00:09:40,209
Auntie,
why are you crying?
222
00:09:40,252 --> 00:09:42,733
We are so proud of you.
223
00:09:42,777 --> 00:09:44,692
Thanks, guys.
224
00:09:44,735 --> 00:09:47,651
Bob, tell us, how
did you do it?
225
00:09:47,695 --> 00:09:49,784
Well, there is a lot
that goes into winning
226
00:09:49,827 --> 00:09:51,394
an award like this, but mostly
227
00:09:51,437 --> 00:09:52,830
it's about believing
in your product.
228
00:09:52,874 --> 00:09:55,050
If you believe,
the customer will, too.
229
00:09:55,093 --> 00:09:57,574
Mm.
You should
write a book.
230
00:09:58,575 --> 00:10:00,925
Business Advice from Michigan's Undergarment Manufacturers'
231
00:10:00,969 --> 00:10:04,059
Association's
Businessman of the Year.
232
00:10:05,451 --> 00:10:07,410
It's catchy.
233
00:10:07,453 --> 00:10:09,760
Oh, I almost forgot.
We have something for you.
234
00:10:09,804 --> 00:10:10,979
You didn't have
to do that.
235
00:10:11,022 --> 00:10:13,808
We wanted to surprise you!
236
00:10:13,851 --> 00:10:15,679
It is a tie.
237
00:10:15,723 --> 00:10:17,159
Act surprised.
238
00:10:17,202 --> 00:10:19,335
Well, it might have been
easier to act surprised
239
00:10:19,378 --> 00:10:21,380
if you didn't tell me.[scoffs]
240
00:10:21,424 --> 00:10:23,034
It is a very
important tie.
241
00:10:23,078 --> 00:10:25,646
It belonged to
Olu's father, Ayo,
242
00:10:25,689 --> 00:10:29,562
who was a man of-of-of
honor and integrity.
243
00:10:29,606 --> 00:10:33,218
During the Biafran War, Ayo
put his life on the line
244
00:10:33,262 --> 00:10:35,568
to save innocent
Igbo refugees,
245
00:10:35,612 --> 00:10:38,876
feeding them, sheltering them
when no one else would.
246
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,489
And it will now be worn by a man
who lives up to his legacy.
247
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:48,625
Geez, Tunde, it's just a stupid
Businessman of the Year award.
248
00:10:49,626 --> 00:10:51,280
I see.
249
00:10:51,323 --> 00:10:52,673
Olu!
250
00:10:52,716 --> 00:10:54,109
Forget the tie!
251
00:10:54,152 --> 00:10:56,328
The award is stupid!
252
00:11:01,943 --> 00:11:03,988
Could I at least
see the tie?
253
00:11:09,037 --> 00:11:10,691
[sighs]
254
00:11:12,301 --> 00:11:13,824
Hillary?
255
00:11:16,784 --> 00:11:18,307
[takes deep breath]
256
00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:19,830
Michelle.
257
00:11:26,315 --> 00:11:28,056
Melania.
258
00:11:30,145 --> 00:11:32,190
[piano playing
mellow jazz music]
259
00:11:33,583 --> 00:11:35,237
Boy, Christina was right.
260
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,979
White guy, white guy,
white guy,
261
00:11:38,022 --> 00:11:39,981
Ramirez, white guy.
262
00:11:40,024 --> 00:11:41,939
Oh, God.What is wrong?
263
00:11:41,983 --> 00:11:43,506
BOB:
It's Gene Johnson.
264
00:11:43,549 --> 00:11:45,726
Is he one of
the white guys?
265
00:11:45,769 --> 00:11:47,379
Like, the head white guy.
266
00:11:47,423 --> 00:11:48,990
You ever hear of Spanx?
267
00:11:49,033 --> 00:11:50,339
Yes. Melania wears them.
268
00:11:50,382 --> 00:11:52,558
Well, that's 'cause of Gene.
269
00:11:52,602 --> 00:11:54,822
He's an undergarment god.
He never comes to these things.
270
00:11:54,865 --> 00:11:56,824
Sounds like he could
help your business.
271
00:11:56,867 --> 00:11:58,782
You should go
chitchat with him.
272
00:11:58,826 --> 00:12:01,176
You don't chitchat
with Gene Johnson.
273
00:12:01,219 --> 00:12:03,352
It's Gene Johnson.
274
00:12:03,395 --> 00:12:05,136
And you are Bob Wheeler,
275
00:12:05,180 --> 00:12:06,834
Michigan's Businessman
of the Year.
276
00:12:06,877 --> 00:12:09,227
I am.
277
00:12:09,271 --> 00:12:10,489
Come.
278
00:12:10,533 --> 00:12:12,491
Okay, I guess
we're doing this.
279
00:12:12,535 --> 00:12:15,407
We're talkingto Gene Johnson.
Mm-hmm.
280
00:12:15,451 --> 00:12:16,800
[laughter]
281
00:12:16,844 --> 00:12:18,541
[laughing loudly]
282
00:12:18,584 --> 00:12:19,803
Hey, Gene.
283
00:12:19,847 --> 00:12:21,109
Hey.Bob Wheeler,
284
00:12:21,152 --> 00:12:22,850
MaxDot Socks.
Businessman of the Year.
285
00:12:22,893 --> 00:12:25,026
Oh, right.I'm a big fan,
Gene.
286
00:12:25,069 --> 00:12:27,463
Big fan. What you did in '04
for the mid-calf pull-up,
287
00:12:27,506 --> 00:12:28,769
pure genius.
288
00:12:28,812 --> 00:12:30,596
Thank you.And who's this?
289
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:31,597
Oh.
290
00:12:31,641 --> 00:12:33,338
This is my fiancée.Abishola.
291
00:12:33,382 --> 00:12:34,687
Paula.Abishola.
292
00:12:34,731 --> 00:12:36,254
That's an interesting name.
293
00:12:36,298 --> 00:12:37,734
It means "born to wealth."
294
00:12:37,778 --> 00:12:39,431
It's Nigerian.
She's Nigerian.
295
00:12:39,475 --> 00:12:40,519
Is that right?
296
00:12:40,563 --> 00:12:42,739
Sure is.
Straight out of Lagos.
297
00:12:42,783 --> 00:12:44,001
Well, how do you say
"cheers" in Nigerian?
298
00:12:44,045 --> 00:12:45,437
That's a great
question, Gene.
299
00:12:45,481 --> 00:12:47,831
You know, Nigeria has
many languages,
300
00:12:47,875 --> 00:12:50,355
Yoruba being
one of the most popular,
301
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:53,576
and in Yoruba,
"cheers" is "kara o li."
302
00:12:53,619 --> 00:12:55,360
Kara o li.
303
00:12:55,404 --> 00:12:57,145
Actually, it's
"kara o le."
304
00:12:57,188 --> 00:12:59,887
Li, le--either way,
we're drinking, right, Gene?
305
00:12:59,930 --> 00:13:00,801
[laughter]
306
00:13:06,284 --> 00:13:07,851
And then she waited tables
in Barcelona.
307
00:13:07,895 --> 00:13:10,114
She lived all over Europe before
she even came to this country.
308
00:13:10,158 --> 00:13:12,421
Speaks five languages.
309
00:13:12,464 --> 00:13:13,770
I mean, she could probably
tell you her story
310
00:13:13,814 --> 00:13:14,945
better than I could.
311
00:13:14,989 --> 00:13:16,207
Oh, I wouldn't want
to interrupt you.
312
00:13:16,251 --> 00:13:17,948
She came here...
313
00:13:19,123 --> 00:13:21,125
...for a better life
for her and her son.
314
00:13:21,169 --> 00:13:23,258
Works every day to put him
through medical school.
315
00:13:23,301 --> 00:13:25,826
Now, that isthe American dream.GENE: Mm-hmm.
316
00:13:25,869 --> 00:13:27,784
Excuse me. I'm going
to get more wine.
317
00:13:27,828 --> 00:13:29,612
Oh, and she knows
how to pick 'em.
318
00:13:29,655 --> 00:13:30,961
Used to be a sommelier.
319
00:13:31,005 --> 00:13:33,094
Which has nothing to do
with Somalia.
320
00:13:33,137 --> 00:13:35,357
She taught me that.
321
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,794
[dance music playing]
322
00:13:37,838 --> 00:13:39,622
Check it out.
323
00:13:41,450 --> 00:13:42,886
It's a callus.
324
00:13:42,930 --> 00:13:45,019
Oh. That is from
the tape gun.
325
00:13:45,062 --> 00:13:47,238
It's preventable
if you wear gloves.
326
00:13:47,282 --> 00:13:49,240
I don't want to prevent it.
I'm proud of it.
327
00:13:49,284 --> 00:13:51,416
Makes me feel like
I really earned this bottle.
328
00:13:51,460 --> 00:13:53,201
That bottle is $1,200.
329
00:13:53,244 --> 00:13:54,376
Right?
330
00:13:54,419 --> 00:13:56,813
It's like two whole paychecks.
Crazy.
331
00:13:56,857 --> 00:13:59,772
I can't imagine spending
my paychecks on vodka
332
00:13:59,816 --> 00:14:02,210
instead of something
frivolous like rent.
333
00:14:03,167 --> 00:14:04,952
Oh, no, my mom pays my rent.
334
00:14:06,170 --> 00:14:08,303
It's a blessing,
but it's also a curse.
335
00:14:08,346 --> 00:14:09,739
How is that a curse?
336
00:14:10,783 --> 00:14:12,568
It's not, but I'd sound
like a real douche
337
00:14:12,611 --> 00:14:14,135
if I didn't say that.
338
00:14:14,178 --> 00:14:15,832
Yes,
339
00:14:15,876 --> 00:14:18,139
you have avoided that.
340
00:14:18,182 --> 00:14:20,619
You know, on second thought,
we must own that place
341
00:14:20,663 --> 00:14:22,143
because we just put in a pool.
342
00:14:22,186 --> 00:14:23,492
And a pool, by the way...
343
00:14:23,535 --> 00:14:24,885
Is a blessing and a curse?
344
00:14:24,928 --> 00:14:26,147
Exactly.
345
00:14:26,190 --> 00:14:27,148

Ooh.

[dance music continues]
349
00:14:34,633 --> 00:14:38,333
This douche lifestyle
is definitely a blessing.
350
00:14:43,033 --> 00:14:45,906
Hey. I needed a break
from those guys, too.
351
00:14:45,949 --> 00:14:47,777
I needed a break from you.
352
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:49,213
Me? What did I do?
353
00:14:50,258 --> 00:14:52,347
You are listing my
qualifications to these people.
354
00:14:52,390 --> 00:14:53,783
How many languages
I speak,
355
00:14:53,826 --> 00:14:55,872
how many countries I've been to.
356
00:14:55,916 --> 00:14:58,962
You told complete strangers
everything about me and my son.
357
00:14:59,006 --> 00:15:00,224
Well, he didn't care about me.
358
00:15:00,268 --> 00:15:01,922
He wanted to hear
stories about you.
359
00:15:01,965 --> 00:15:03,706
Then why didn't you
let me tell them?
360
00:15:03,749 --> 00:15:06,274
I just thought
it might be better if...
361
00:15:06,317 --> 00:15:07,797
I did not speak?
362
00:15:09,016 --> 00:15:11,757
Who is the most famous
footwear philosopher?
363
00:15:11,801 --> 00:15:13,498
What?
364
00:15:13,542 --> 00:15:14,935
Sock-ra-tees.
365
00:15:16,501 --> 00:15:18,851
I googled sock jokes for you.
366
00:15:20,157 --> 00:15:22,943
I was ready to be fun tonight,
but you never gave me a chance.
367
00:15:23,944 --> 00:15:25,641
Sir, they're
about to start.
Just a minute.
368
00:15:28,209 --> 00:15:30,167
You shouldn't keep
Gene Johnson waiting.
369
00:15:35,085 --> 00:15:37,000
[dance music continues]
370
00:15:37,044 --> 00:15:39,960
Tatiana! Tatiana!
371
00:15:40,003 --> 00:15:41,048
What are you doing?
372
00:15:41,091 --> 00:15:43,050
Calling the waitress.
373
00:15:43,093 --> 00:15:44,834
I'm ordering more bubbly.
374
00:15:44,877 --> 00:15:46,531
That's a fun word for champagne.
375
00:15:46,575 --> 00:15:48,533
Look at yourself.I have been.
376
00:15:48,577 --> 00:15:51,710
There are so many mirrors
in here.
377
00:15:51,754 --> 00:15:53,625
We should not be in this place.
378
00:15:53,669 --> 00:15:55,845
None of these
people should be.
379
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:58,587
It's like a contest to see
who can waste the most money.
380
00:15:58,630 --> 00:16:01,111
Eminem's dog walker
is definitely winning.
381
00:16:01,155 --> 00:16:02,243
What?
382
00:16:02,286 --> 00:16:03,766
I met him
in the unisex bathroom.
383
00:16:03,809 --> 00:16:05,898
He has diamonds in his teeth.
384
00:16:05,942 --> 00:16:08,031
This is not you, Kofo.
385
00:16:08,075 --> 00:16:09,424
You are a man
of substance.
386
00:16:09,467 --> 00:16:12,079
And your father did not
entrust me with your care
387
00:16:12,122 --> 00:16:14,603
to have you gallivanting
in this house of mirrors.
388
00:16:14,646 --> 00:16:16,431
DOUGLAS:
Hey, guys!
389
00:16:16,474 --> 00:16:18,215
We have room for
these ladies to rest
390
00:16:18,259 --> 00:16:20,261
and take off
their uncomfortable shoes?
391
00:16:20,304 --> 00:16:22,611
Douglas, I am sorry.We were just...
Shut up.
392
00:16:25,005 --> 00:16:28,573
Ladies, I am
Goodwin Aderibigbe Olayiwola.
393
00:16:28,617 --> 00:16:30,358
Charmed to meet you.
394
00:16:30,401 --> 00:16:33,317
Tatiana darling,
two more glasses!
395
00:16:37,321 --> 00:16:41,543
Please, give a round of applause
for our Businessman of the Year,
396
00:16:41,586 --> 00:16:43,066
Bob Wheeler.
397
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:49,812
Thank you, everyone.
398
00:16:49,855 --> 00:16:51,814
Uh, this is a real honor to be
399
00:16:51,857 --> 00:16:53,990
a part of such
a tight-knit community.
400
00:16:55,165 --> 00:16:56,775
That joke only works here,
people.
401
00:16:56,819 --> 00:17:00,127
Seriously though,
uh, I am so grateful,
402
00:17:00,170 --> 00:17:01,954
for this honor...
403
00:17:03,260 --> 00:17:06,568
...but more so
for that woman right there.
404
00:17:07,830 --> 00:17:12,400
That beautiful, powerful,
elegant woman.
405
00:17:12,443 --> 00:17:14,445
I am an idiot.
406
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:21,061
I care too much
what other people think,
407
00:17:21,104 --> 00:17:24,629
when your opinion is the only
one that really matters to me.
408
00:17:24,673 --> 00:17:28,590
I should've let you shine,
honey, and I didn't.
409
00:17:28,633 --> 00:17:29,721
And I'm sorry.
410
00:17:30,766 --> 00:17:32,855
What does this have
to do with socks?
411
00:17:32,898 --> 00:17:35,510
If you want to speak, you should
run your company better.
412
00:17:35,553 --> 00:17:38,078
Then maybe
you could win the award.
413
00:17:39,383 --> 00:17:41,124
I love you, Abishola.
414
00:17:41,168 --> 00:17:43,126
You're the best thing
in my life.
415
00:17:44,780 --> 00:17:47,478
Th... And, uh,
this is nice, too.
416
00:17:47,522 --> 00:17:48,871
Thank you.
417
00:17:48,914 --> 00:17:50,916
[applause]
418
00:17:52,309 --> 00:17:55,051
Although it should be called
"Businessperson of the Year."
419
00:17:55,095 --> 00:17:56,313
Let's catch up
with the times, people.
420
00:18:04,104 --> 00:18:06,062
Mm.
421
00:18:06,106 --> 00:18:07,281
Congratulations.
422
00:18:07,324 --> 00:18:08,717
Thank you.
423
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,893
Why didn't you tell
the "Sock-ra-tees" joke?
424
00:18:10,936 --> 00:18:12,024
Are you kidding?
425
00:18:12,068 --> 00:18:13,330
I can't tell it
as good as you do.
426
00:18:16,725 --> 00:18:18,466
We should go
to your house.
427
00:18:18,509 --> 00:18:20,816
Are you sure?
It's getting pretty late.
428
00:18:20,859 --> 00:18:22,296
I know how late it is.
429
00:18:22,339 --> 00:18:23,906
Well, if we have a nightcap,
430
00:18:23,949 --> 00:18:26,256
I'm not sure I'll be able to
drive you back to your place.
431
00:18:27,301 --> 00:18:29,955
Well, I guess
I'll have to stay the night.
432
00:18:32,393 --> 00:18:33,611
Oh.
433
00:18:37,093 --> 00:18:40,009
You must have really
loved my speech.
434
00:18:40,052 --> 00:18:42,011
It was okay.
Mm.
