1
00:00:07,688 --> 00:00:09,863
Up to it, down to it.
2
00:00:09,864 --> 00:00:12,083
Fuck those who don't do it.
3
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:15,211
We do it 'cause we used to it,
4
00:00:15,212 --> 00:00:17,830
so drink, my nigga, drink.
5
00:00:19,999 --> 00:00:21,564
Mm, mm-mm.
6
00:00:21,566 --> 00:00:22,965
Yeah, I'm gonna need
to take that in stages.
7
00:00:22,966 --> 00:00:24,176
- Over here.
- Uh, another round?
8
00:00:24,177 --> 00:00:25,403
- No!
- Yes!
9
00:00:25,405 --> 00:00:27,297
I got this new shit
with jalapeño and mezcal.
10
00:00:27,298 --> 00:00:28,798
- Ooh!
- Yeah!
11
00:00:30,018 --> 00:00:31,823
Hi!
12
00:00:32,586 --> 00:00:35,201
How come I never get asked
to dance by a Lester?
13
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:37,078
I think it's your face.
14
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:38,993
Shut up.
15
00:00:38,994 --> 00:00:41,299
Come on, girl, I'll be your Lester.

21
00:01:06,338 --> 00:01:08,619
Your whole "natural early bird" thing
22
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:11,317
has been bothering me
for the entire 25 years
23
00:01:11,318 --> 00:01:12,863
of my life that I've known you.
24
00:01:12,864 --> 00:01:14,407
Ella, it's 8:30.
25
00:01:14,408 --> 00:01:15,617
Shit!
26
00:01:16,385 --> 00:01:17,909
Yeah, it's probably not the best for you
27
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:19,782
to be late as fuck
to your first day of work.
28
00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:28,171
Remind me why
29
00:01:28,192 --> 00:01:30,077
I spent my early 20s trying to build
30
00:01:30,078 --> 00:01:31,607
a professional reputation
31
00:01:31,608 --> 00:01:33,210
instead of sitting
on a really rich dick.
32
00:01:33,211 --> 00:01:34,635
Exactly.
33
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:36,894
I mean, what were our mothers
thinking with this whole
34
00:01:36,895 --> 00:01:39,474
"pursuit of educational
excellence" bullshit?
35
00:01:39,486 --> 00:01:41,767
I mean, where was the
"There's nothing wrong
36
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:43,873
with sleeping your way to the top, baby,
37
00:01:43,874 --> 00:01:45,222
as long as you do it discreetly
38
00:01:45,223 --> 00:01:47,441
and before you turn 26" speech?
39
00:01:48,357 --> 00:01:50,516
It's okay. It's okay. I'll move.
40
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:52,404
- What?
- No, no, no, not you.
41
00:01:52,411 --> 00:01:54,405
I'm just being invisible woman-ed.
42
00:01:54,406 --> 00:01:55,624
At the bodega?
43
00:01:55,625 --> 00:01:56,930
Mm-hmm.
44
00:01:56,931 --> 00:01:58,670
This female colonizer in here
45
00:01:58,671 --> 00:02:00,244
was literally standing on top of me.
46
00:02:00,245 --> 00:02:02,185
You know the whites can't see us.
47
00:02:02,186 --> 00:02:04,865
Anyway, I was just calling
to wish you good luck.
48
00:02:04,877 --> 00:02:06,896
And don't go into that office
this morning
49
00:02:06,897 --> 00:02:08,169
trying to be yourself.
50
00:02:08,170 --> 00:02:10,455
Try being someone much more likable,
51
00:02:10,456 --> 00:02:12,288
like one of those nice
colored girls from Georgia
52
00:02:12,297 --> 00:02:14,759
we went to school with
who were raised to marry well.
53
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,723
Ishmael, what up? I'm finna be late.
54
00:02:16,724 --> 00:02:18,331
Almost, lady, almost.
55
00:02:18,347 --> 00:02:19,726
I cannot believe
56
00:02:19,727 --> 00:02:21,292
you're still eating out of the bodega.
57
00:02:21,293 --> 00:02:22,867
Right now it's a requirement.
58
00:02:22,887 --> 00:02:25,988
Are you not hungover?
'Cause I feel like stir-fried shit.
59
00:02:25,989 --> 00:02:29,231
Ah, pain threshold
hovering around three.
60
00:02:29,232 --> 00:02:30,983
Remember when we were 21,
61
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:33,027
and we could get in
at five in the morning,
62
00:02:33,028 --> 00:02:35,393
drink a Red Bull, and just shake it off?
63
00:02:35,394 --> 00:02:38,825
No, I have very few
lucid memories of my 20s.
64
00:02:38,829 --> 00:02:40,094
Bacon, egg, and cheese.
65
00:02:40,095 --> 00:02:41,219
- Uh!
- Oh!
66
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:43,151
- That is mine.
- Oh, I thought it was mine.
67
00:02:43,152 --> 00:02:44,968
I am a woman phenomenally.
68
00:02:44,969 --> 00:02:47,276
Phenomenal woman, that is me.
69
00:02:50,583 --> 00:02:52,759
- Uh...
- Hmm.
70
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,905
Did you just "Phenomenal Woman" her?
71
00:02:54,925 --> 00:02:56,588
Yes, I did.
72
00:02:56,589 --> 00:02:58,086
Oh.
73
00:02:58,088 --> 00:03:00,854
Why she want to make me angry
before 9 a.m.?
74
00:03:00,855 --> 00:03:02,675
I hate when I'm mad on a Monday.

Hips back, elbows down.
77
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,910
So good, team.
78
00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:24,912
Y'all look so good.
79
00:03:29,409 --> 00:03:30,583
Morning, Mother.
80
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,960
Aunt Zelda?
81
00:03:34,961 --> 00:03:36,848
I haven't heard her name
in over ten years.
82
00:03:37,588 --> 00:03:39,646
Mom, the guest list
has to end somewhere.
83
00:03:40,262 --> 00:03:42,013
Okay, Mom, this is work.
84
00:03:42,027 --> 00:03:43,557
Mom, this is work!
85
00:03:43,559 --> 00:03:44,947
I won't call you back.
86
00:03:47,895 --> 00:03:49,148
Hello.
87
00:03:49,938 --> 00:03:52,482
No! I told Chad to do it.
88
00:03:53,191 --> 00:03:55,485
His nepotism is really starting to show.
89
00:03:55,486 --> 00:03:57,437
Radha, you run the new numbers.
90
00:03:57,438 --> 00:03:58,685
I'll be in soon.
91
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:04,923
Shh!
92
00:04:04,924 --> 00:04:06,104
Quiet.
93
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:20,847
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
94
00:04:22,290 --> 00:04:23,553
Okay.
95
00:04:31,385 --> 00:04:33,548
Daddy, I'm awake.
96
00:04:35,868 --> 00:04:37,203
Daddy?
97
00:04:37,682 --> 00:04:39,914
This is nothing like
when you call me Daddy.
98
00:04:39,915 --> 00:04:41,364
Oh, God.
99
00:04:44,137 --> 00:04:47,008
And how are we today,
mind, body, and soul?
100
00:04:47,009 --> 00:04:48,618
Um...
101
00:04:48,619 --> 00:04:52,198
purple unicorn,
blue heart, pink mermaid.
102
00:04:52,209 --> 00:04:53,501
What about you?
103
00:04:53,502 --> 00:04:56,880
Pink unicorn,
yellow heart, gold mermaid.
104
00:04:56,891 --> 00:04:59,822
You guys ever gonna let Daddy
crack this unicorn code?
105
00:04:59,824 --> 00:05:01,626
Mm, no.
106
00:05:01,635 --> 00:05:03,678
Come on, it's not fair.
107
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,397
Okay, Chicken, close your eyes.
108
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:06,948
I have a surprise for you.
109
00:05:08,060 --> 00:05:09,365
And open them.
110
00:05:11,512 --> 00:05:12,991
Why are they brown?
111
00:05:12,992 --> 00:05:14,427
Because that is how
112
00:05:14,428 --> 00:05:16,908
all the Black
professional ballerinas do it.
113
00:05:16,909 --> 00:05:19,040
Seems like a bit much
for six weeks of lessons,
114
00:05:19,041 --> 00:05:20,694
though, don't you think?
115
00:05:20,695 --> 00:05:21,737
No, not at all.
116
00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:25,428
Ballet is all about the
aesthetic of the unbroken line.
117
00:05:25,436 --> 00:05:28,645
So pink shoes on a brown leg
is a broken line.
118
00:05:28,658 --> 00:05:32,156
Well, I appreciate
your diligence on the subject.
119
00:05:32,157 --> 00:05:35,251
And as always, your beautiful brain
120
00:05:35,252 --> 00:05:36,711
continues to wow me.
121
00:05:38,626 --> 00:05:40,115
Oh, I got to go.
122
00:05:40,866 --> 00:05:42,757
Uh, I left her tuition check
by the door.
123
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:44,587
- So, please don't forget it, okay?
- Okay.
124
00:05:44,588 --> 00:05:48,330
And you, I love you. Mwah.
125
00:05:48,331 --> 00:05:52,006
Uh, unicorn,
television set, red mermaid.
126
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:53,301
- Mm-mm. No.
- No.
127
00:05:53,309 --> 00:05:54,510
But I'm getting it.
128
00:05:54,517 --> 00:05:56,469
- No.
- I'm getting it.
129
00:05:56,470 --> 00:05:58,298
- He's not even close, is he?
- Have a good day, guys.
130
00:06:00,297 --> 00:06:01,582
He is something else.
131
00:06:01,584 --> 00:06:03,321
Mm, who you tellin'?
132
00:06:14,877 --> 00:06:16,228
I like what you've done with the place.
133
00:06:16,229 --> 00:06:18,357
Oh, it's a miracle
I have an office at all.
134
00:06:18,358 --> 00:06:20,713
Whoever the fuck invented
open office floor plans
135
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:22,799
should be forced to listen
to the Lean Inaudiobook
136
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,899
on repeat for the rest of their lives.
137
00:06:25,918 --> 00:06:28,057
You know the digital revolution
cannot be forged
138
00:06:28,058 --> 00:06:29,584
in an office with walls.
139
00:06:31,711 --> 00:06:32,812
You look good.
140
00:06:33,412 --> 00:06:35,102
- You better?
- Think so.
141
00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:37,379
The "book not selling" stuff, yes.
142
00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:40,948
The being branded a "regressive blow
to fourth-wave feminism" part,
143
00:06:40,949 --> 00:06:42,611
- not so much.
- That's bullshit.
144
00:06:42,612 --> 00:06:46,606
Your essay about cooking dinner
ass-naked in an apron and heels
145
00:06:46,607 --> 00:06:47,999
was quite exquisite.
146
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,856
That was a personal story.
147
00:06:49,863 --> 00:06:52,514
I wasn't suggesting it as a practice.
148
00:06:52,515 --> 00:06:54,657
Okay, kiddo, for your first assignment,
149
00:06:54,658 --> 00:06:56,268
you won a trip to cover
150
00:06:56,269 --> 00:07:00,502

00:07:02,362 --> 00:07:03,560

00:07:05,091 --> 00:07:06,508
Ah, don't "Come on, Barb" me.
155
00:07:06,509 --> 00:07:08,280
Soulja Boy...
156
00:07:08,281 --> 00:07:10,630
"He is the first true Internet rap star.
157
00:07:10,631 --> 00:07:12,414
He launched a movement
that led to the current wave
158
00:07:12,415 --> 00:07:14,677
of self-produced and distributed artists
159
00:07:14,678 --> 00:07:16,331
that shifted the landscape."
160
00:07:16,332 --> 00:07:17,478
Says who?
161
00:07:17,488 --> 00:07:19,458
Says the fucking press release.
162
00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:21,899
When I woke up this morning
163
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:24,483
and I thought about
how my first day here would go,
164
00:07:25,130 --> 00:07:26,630
I said to myself,
165
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,431
"Why don't you go
and interview that young man
166
00:07:29,432 --> 00:07:31,129
who basically taught guys everywhere
167
00:07:31,130 --> 00:07:32,782
how to stick sheets onto women's backs
168
00:07:32,783 --> 00:07:34,523
with their semen
169
00:07:34,524 --> 00:07:36,413
and do a dance at the same time?"
170
00:07:36,414 --> 00:07:38,666
I'm sorry, but did I dream
that you called all,
171
00:07:38,667 --> 00:07:40,542
"Barb, Barb, what am I gonna do?
172
00:07:40,543 --> 00:07:43,629
"The critics hate my book,"
begging me for a job?
173
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:44,925
- No...
- Sometimes, Ella,
174
00:07:44,926 --> 00:07:47,232
you look up, and life is different.
175
00:07:47,233 --> 00:07:48,798
There's no more car service
176
00:07:48,799 --> 00:07:50,659
or white parties in the Hamptons
177
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:52,280
or offices with doors that lock
178
00:07:52,281 --> 00:07:54,494
and curtains... curtains that close.
179
00:07:54,496 --> 00:07:56,804
Yeah. I blame Matt Lauer.
180
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:58,471
I blame that motherfucker, too.
181
00:07:58,478 --> 00:07:59,646
Shit.
182
00:07:59,648 --> 00:08:02,725
Look, I was the first
Black editor in chief
183
00:08:02,726 --> 00:08:05,206
of a mainstream
lifestyle publication at 35.
184
00:08:05,207 --> 00:08:07,474
Now I'm 45, and I'm doing this shit.
185
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:09,154
Adapt, Ella.
186
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:11,038
Reinvention, that's the game.
187
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:14,128
You don't see me walking around
all puh and pathetic.
188
00:08:15,453 --> 00:08:17,523
- I'm not pathetic.
- You a little pathetic.
189
00:08:17,524 --> 00:08:18,888
But you're a good writer,
190
00:08:18,906 --> 00:08:20,265
and you've always been good
with celebrities,
191
00:08:20,266 --> 00:08:22,267
which is why I hired you again.
192
00:08:22,268 --> 00:08:23,711
I just could do without all this
193
00:08:23,712 --> 00:08:26,271
"victim of a failed media
state" shtick you got going on.
194
00:08:26,272 --> 00:08:27,991
Could you just be, I don't know...
195
00:08:29,596 --> 00:08:30,635
grateful?
196
00:08:31,494 --> 00:08:33,847
Just be as committed to grateful
197
00:08:33,849 --> 00:08:36,348
as you are to self-pity.
198
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:38,021
I am grateful, Barb.
199
00:08:38,022 --> 00:08:40,644
Seriously, thank you for everything.
200
00:08:40,645 --> 00:08:42,020
Great.
201
00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:44,523
Get out my office.
202
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:45,873
Whoo!
203
00:08:48,816 --> 00:08:50,469
♪ Now watch me yuuuuuuu ♪
204
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:52,205
♪ Now watch me yuuuuuuu ♪
205
00:08:57,912 --> 00:08:59,695
She didn't close the fucking door.
206
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:13,825
Oh, hi, you must be Amari's mom.
207
00:09:13,845 --> 00:09:16,302
- I'm Julie. This is Goldie.
- Hi.
208
00:09:16,306 --> 00:09:17,713
I'm Sondi.
209
00:09:17,714 --> 00:09:19,802
I-I'm actually Amari's dad's girlfriend.
210
00:09:19,803 --> 00:09:21,185
I mean, we live together,
211
00:09:21,186 --> 00:09:23,436
and I-I obviously
still keep an apartment
212
00:09:23,438 --> 00:09:26,308
because we're not married, so, um...
213
00:09:26,316 --> 00:09:28,898
But I've been in Amari's life
since she was four.
214
00:09:28,899 --> 00:09:30,567
Well, it's nice to meet you.
215
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,598
Our girls just love Amari.
216
00:09:32,599 --> 00:09:34,469
We're so glad she's sticking with it.
217
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:35,969
Which ones are yours?
218
00:09:35,971 --> 00:09:37,993
Mimi came out looking like her father.
219
00:09:37,994 --> 00:09:39,949
She's in front.
220
00:09:39,954 --> 00:09:41,163
And my Clara's
right next to her.
221
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:42,624
You can see it in her eyes.
222
00:09:46,917 --> 00:09:48,088
Excuse me.
223
00:09:50,106 --> 00:09:51,404
Hi.
224
00:09:52,978 --> 00:09:55,379
Did you just get here,
or did you see me dance?
225
00:09:55,386 --> 00:09:57,057
I totes got here early,
226
00:09:57,058 --> 00:09:59,886
and you were totes the best one
in the whole entire class.
227
00:09:59,887 --> 00:10:02,018
No, I'm totes not.
228
00:10:02,019 --> 00:10:04,270
Ms. Janet says Clara
has the best technique.
229
00:10:04,272 --> 00:10:06,325
Clara, Shmara.
230
00:10:06,326 --> 00:10:08,635
Don't tell anybody,
but your teacher's a liar.
231
00:10:11,725 --> 00:10:14,205
Chicken, what happened
to the shoes I made for you?
232
00:10:14,206 --> 00:10:16,859
I left them at home. Sorry.
233
00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:18,201
No sorrys, dah-ling.
234
00:10:19,369 --> 00:10:20,543
- BRB.
- Okay.
235
00:10:22,512 --> 00:10:24,302
Hi, I'd like to pay for the next session
236
00:10:24,303 --> 00:10:25,998
for Amari Powell.
237
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,592
Finally.
238
00:10:28,132 --> 00:10:30,873
We usually don't accept
late tuition, but...
239
00:10:31,317 --> 00:10:32,702
we love Amari.
240
00:10:33,964 --> 00:10:35,881
We do offer scholarships
241
00:10:35,893 --> 00:10:37,344
for our underprivileged students.
242
00:10:37,345 --> 00:10:38,353
I can give you a brochure.
243
00:10:38,355 --> 00:10:40,970
Um, no, that'll just
wind up in the trash.
244
00:10:40,971 --> 00:10:44,758
Yes, well, Amari's teacher
asked me to give you this.
245
00:10:47,108 --> 00:10:49,814
Nutritional suggestions
for a six-year-old?
246
00:10:49,831 --> 00:10:52,417
Amari has a great
natural facility for ballet.
247
00:10:52,418 --> 00:10:54,680
We just want to help her
avoid some of the pitfalls
248
00:10:54,681 --> 00:10:56,682
unique to the bodies
of dancers with her...
249
00:10:56,683 --> 00:10:57,999
ethnic background.
250
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,784
I'll be needing that back. Thanks.
251
00:11:00,295 --> 00:11:01,449
Amari, let's go.
252
00:11:01,452 --> 00:11:03,036
- Did you hear that?
- Ooh!
253
00:11:03,037 --> 00:11:04,663
Seriously, go look...
254
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:07,040
♪ It don't get any clearer ♪
255
00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:09,738
♪ I can see it in the way you move ♪
256
00:11:09,739 --> 00:11:11,653
♪ Come get a little nearer... ♪
257
00:11:11,654 --> 00:11:13,916
- Seriously?
- Ugh!
258
00:11:13,917 --> 00:11:16,562
Why is everybody trying it today?
259
00:11:16,563 --> 00:11:18,195
I would've smacked that bitch
in the face.
260
00:11:18,196 --> 00:11:19,226
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
261
00:11:19,227 --> 00:11:20,514
And now Matthew's over here texting me
262
00:11:20,515 --> 00:11:21,620
like I'm in trouble.
263
00:11:21,621 --> 00:11:23,645
Ooh, teacher's pet is fucking up.
264
00:11:23,646 --> 00:11:25,798
He's the one who has her
enrolled in a school
265
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:27,930
where they're hypersexualizing
her prepubescent body
266
00:11:27,931 --> 00:11:29,889
and subverting her femininity.
267
00:11:29,890 --> 00:11:32,674
I'll take "Academic Buzzwords"
for $600, Alex.
268
00:11:33,792 --> 00:11:36,591
Anyway, I'm enrolling her
in the Dance Theatre of Harlem.
269
00:11:36,592 --> 00:11:38,680
Maybe you should talk
to Matthew about that first.
270
00:11:38,681 --> 00:11:40,203
Right, 'cause those Negro
ballet slippers
271
00:11:40,204 --> 00:11:41,814
were clearly a miss.
272
00:11:41,815 --> 00:11:43,859
Shit!
273
00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:45,383
What in the whole universe?
274
00:11:45,384 --> 00:11:48,165
Cherise. Cherise.
275
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:50,196
Hey, girl, you got a first-aid kit?
276
00:11:50,998 --> 00:11:52,781
Legally we're required to,
277
00:11:52,782 --> 00:11:54,726
but we're also supposed to have
fire extinguishers,
278
00:11:54,727 --> 00:11:56,089
so I'ma say no.
279
00:11:56,090 --> 00:11:57,643
It's okay.
280
00:11:57,651 --> 00:12:00,789
The whole universe is just
not fucking with me today.
281
00:12:00,790 --> 00:12:02,763
Y'all want a round
of Get Drunk or Die Trying?
282
00:12:02,764 --> 00:12:04,473
Yes.
283
00:12:04,474 --> 00:12:08,362
Cherise, your titties look
particularly amazing today.
284
00:12:08,363 --> 00:12:10,451
Her tits always look amazing.
285
00:12:10,452 --> 00:12:11,626
They're good, right?
286
00:12:11,627 --> 00:12:13,367
- I think so.
- Yes.
287
00:12:13,368 --> 00:12:14,801
Oh, sweet child, sweet child.
I'll be back.
288
00:12:16,589 --> 00:12:17,719
Okay.
289
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,331
- Uh-uh.
- Um...
290
00:12:20,332 --> 00:12:21,854
I thought that you said
291
00:12:21,855 --> 00:12:24,256
your wedding was a small,
intimate affair.
292
00:12:24,272 --> 00:12:27,215
Why are there, like,
300 invitations here?
293
00:12:27,220 --> 00:12:28,861
Because this is no longer my wedding.
294
00:12:28,862 --> 00:12:31,080
This is a wedding for Olabisi Adeyemo,
295
00:12:31,081 --> 00:12:34,127
his mother, his 15 aunts from Nigeria,
296
00:12:34,128 --> 00:12:36,347
and my mother
and her ever-expanding list
297
00:12:36,348 --> 00:12:38,784
of society women and church friends.
298
00:12:38,785 --> 00:12:40,284
Honestly, at this point,
I should just invite
299
00:12:40,285 --> 00:12:42,265
each of Cherise's tits.
300
00:12:42,266 --> 00:12:43,963
Weddings are so overrated.
301
00:12:43,964 --> 00:12:46,008
Huh, inspiring prenuptial insights
302
00:12:46,009 --> 00:12:47,662
from our only married friend.
303
00:12:47,663 --> 00:12:50,186
What? For what Jason and I
spent on our wedding,
304
00:12:50,187 --> 00:12:52,754
I could be debt-free
and have bought a small boat.
305
00:12:52,755 --> 00:12:55,670
Okay, before Renee
makes this all about her,
306
00:12:55,671 --> 00:12:57,890
Whitney, have you bought
your wedding tribal dress yet?
307
00:12:57,891 --> 00:12:59,282
Ugh, no.
308
00:12:59,283 --> 00:13:00,675
The tribal colors from his village
309
00:13:00,676 --> 00:13:02,373
are brown and blue.
310
00:13:02,374 --> 00:13:05,898
And they want me to wrap
my $350 bridal updo
311
00:13:05,899 --> 00:13:09,249
in a... durag thingy.
312
00:13:09,250 --> 00:13:11,904
I'm pretty sure it's not
a durag exactly.
313
00:13:11,905 --> 00:13:13,831
It's like a crown, bougie.
314
00:13:13,832 --> 00:13:15,560
Oh, and the worst of it,
315
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:18,301
Ola's mother wants branzino
for the fish entrée.
316
00:13:18,302 --> 00:13:19,738
Mmm, I love branzino.
317
00:13:19,739 --> 00:13:21,217
Uh, no, you don't.
318
00:13:21,218 --> 00:13:22,828
You think you love branzino
319
00:13:22,829 --> 00:13:25,352
because the chefs
always serve it as a special
320
00:13:25,353 --> 00:13:27,049
and people who don't know
better let other people
321
00:13:27,050 --> 00:13:29,182
dictate to them what's
actually special in life.
322
00:13:29,183 --> 00:13:31,793
And because waiters
are always referring to it
323
00:13:31,794 --> 00:13:34,448
as a, um, "European sea bass,"
324
00:13:34,449 --> 00:13:36,102
people get distracted by the fact
325
00:13:36,103 --> 00:13:37,886
that in terms of taste and flavor,
326
00:13:37,887 --> 00:13:39,858
it's just glorified tilapia.
327
00:13:39,876 --> 00:13:42,674
So everybody's passing over
a beautiful piece of halibut
328
00:13:42,675 --> 00:13:44,458
or even a red snapper
329
00:13:44,459 --> 00:13:45,764
because all the chefs of New York
330
00:13:45,765 --> 00:13:47,809
have decided to make branzino a thing.
331
00:13:47,810 --> 00:13:49,028
But branzino's not a thing.
332
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:50,987
It's just basic.
333
00:13:53,076 --> 00:13:54,816
I think she just called you
a basic bitch.
334
00:13:54,817 --> 00:13:56,339
- Mm-hmm.
- I did no such thing.
335
00:13:56,340 --> 00:13:57,863
- Yes, you did.
- Mm-hmm.
336
00:13:57,864 --> 00:13:59,734
You know what?
I'm gonna take my basic ass
337
00:13:59,735 --> 00:14:01,867
to Matthew's reading
of his essay for The Atlantic,
338
00:14:01,868 --> 00:14:04,304
so you can lick your own
damn wedding invitations.
339
00:14:04,305 --> 00:14:06,055
Hasn't he done several already?
340
00:14:06,063 --> 00:14:08,743
Right, like, how many times
can you present one essay?
341
00:14:08,744 --> 00:14:10,251
It's not like the nigga wrote a book.
342
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,009
Okay, Matthew Powell will never
turn down an occasion
343
00:14:14,010 --> 00:14:16,730
to hear himself speak in front
of a captive audience, so...
344
00:14:16,731 --> 00:14:18,524
No, no, no, no, no, don't go, please.
345
00:14:18,526 --> 00:14:21,495
I was just about to beg you all
to come downtown with me
346
00:14:21,496 --> 00:14:24,716
to this Soulja Boy party tonight.
347
00:14:24,717 --> 00:14:26,152
What's that even mean?
348
00:14:26,153 --> 00:14:27,806
♪ Soulja Boy up in this ♪
349
00:14:27,807 --> 00:14:29,728
♪ Watch me crank it watch me roll ♪
350
00:14:29,729 --> 00:14:32,782
Welcome to my life at Hot Tea Digest.
351
00:14:32,783 --> 00:14:34,552
I keep telling you guys
I did something really evil
352
00:14:34,553 --> 00:14:36,205
in a past life.
353
00:14:36,206 --> 00:14:38,549
Not, like, Hitler evil
but definitely, like,
354
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:40,166
Clarence Thomas evil.
355
00:14:40,167 --> 00:14:41,820

Amari was inconsolable.
535
00:21:37,421 --> 00:21:40,238
She said you embarrassed her
in front of all her friends,
536
00:21:40,239 --> 00:21:42,240
said she's got to go dance
somewhere else?
537
00:21:42,241 --> 00:21:44,764
I apologize for upsetting Amari,
538
00:21:44,765 --> 00:21:47,882
but I really hate that place for her.
539
00:21:47,883 --> 00:21:49,987
I just want her to feel
confident in her own skin...
540
00:21:49,988 --> 00:21:51,423
Okay, but did it ever occur to you
541
00:21:51,424 --> 00:21:53,947
that just maybe
she wants to wear pink shoes
542
00:21:53,948 --> 00:21:55,427
'cause she's a six-year-old
543
00:21:55,428 --> 00:21:57,255
and her favorite color is pink?
544
00:21:57,256 --> 00:21:59,431
She wants to be like
those other little girls,
545
00:21:59,432 --> 00:22:01,878
but she's not like them.
546
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,739
And sooner or later,
they are going to remind her
547
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:05,089
that she's different and...
548
00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:06,829
- You do this every time.
- Do what?
549
00:22:06,830 --> 00:22:08,527
You make every moment a protest song.
550
00:22:08,528 --> 00:22:10,499
For Christ's sake, Sondi, she's a kid.
551
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:12,270
She's my little girl.
552
00:22:12,271 --> 00:22:14,663
I was just trying to teach her...

00:22:17,225 --> 00:22:20,097
I love that you have
a great relationship with her,
555
00:22:20,099 --> 00:22:22,670
but once again, you've overstepped.
556
00:22:22,981 --> 00:22:24,694

You do realize the walk of shame
596
00:24:26,579 --> 00:24:27,970
usually ends with the person arriving
597
00:24:27,971 --> 00:24:29,718
at their own home, right?
598
00:24:30,626 --> 00:24:32,410
How'd it go with Matt?
599
00:24:32,411 --> 00:24:34,368
Well, I'm fucking my thesis adviser
600
00:24:34,369 --> 00:24:35,717
and kind of, sort of raising his kid
601
00:24:35,718 --> 00:24:37,355
in an undefined relationship
602
00:24:37,357 --> 00:24:39,417
which could get him fired
and me thrown out of school,
603
00:24:39,418 --> 00:24:40,853
which makes our communication
604
00:24:40,854 --> 00:24:43,160
about me fake stepparenting his daughter
605
00:24:43,161 --> 00:24:44,939
easy and effortless.
606
00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:46,685
Got it.
607
00:24:52,550 --> 00:24:53,914
What's your story?
608
00:24:56,391 --> 00:24:58,290
Anderson was at the party.
609
00:24:58,292 --> 00:25:00,221
- He's back?
- Apparently.
610
00:25:01,918 --> 00:25:03,459
I kissed him.
611
00:25:03,460 --> 00:25:06,226
Ella, seriously?
612
00:25:06,227 --> 00:25:08,185
I'ma need to fuck this dude,
because I don't get it.
613
00:25:08,186 --> 00:25:09,867
It's not the sex.
614
00:25:10,579 --> 00:25:11,890
He's my Big.
615
00:25:11,897 --> 00:25:12,946
No, he's not.
616
00:25:13,626 --> 00:25:16,886
Big was tall, rich, and had a driver.
617
00:25:16,887 --> 00:25:20,063
If you're going to perpetually
humiliate yourself for a man,
618
00:25:20,068 --> 00:25:23,200
he better be tall, rich,
and have a driver.
619
00:25:23,201 --> 00:25:24,850
There's a very clear, well-established
620
00:25:24,851 --> 00:25:26,726
pop-culture road map for this.
621
00:25:28,815 --> 00:25:31,070
We talked about dating guys under 35.
622
00:25:31,071 --> 00:25:33,123
Now, you know I detest
the characterization
623
00:25:33,124 --> 00:25:36,018
of the Black male as shiftless
and no good, but...
624
00:25:37,336 --> 00:25:39,955
until they're 35, they ain't
got nothing to offer but dick...
625
00:25:39,957 --> 00:25:43,500
Poor, conflicted dick.
626
00:25:45,769 --> 00:25:47,714
Is this the beginning
of the rest of my life?
627
00:25:47,722 --> 00:25:48,846
No.
628
00:25:49,792 --> 00:25:53,360
You do not get to let yourself
into my home
629
00:25:53,361 --> 00:25:56,058
so you can sit here and complain
630
00:25:56,059 --> 00:25:58,640
about your little
champagne problems, okay?
631
00:25:59,498 --> 00:26:01,230
You are a Black girl in America.
632
00:26:01,804 --> 00:26:03,729
We do not get to do that, okay?
633
00:26:04,588 --> 00:26:05,631
Head up.
634
00:26:06,461 --> 00:26:07,894
