[crowd cheering]

00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:18,440
[narrator] Now here is Thoko Duma.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,960
An overachiever from a very young age.

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,600
Beauty-queen extraordinaire.

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,560
There is no title
that Thoko hasn't achieved.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,440
Big or small, she always comes out on top.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,560
A proud UKZN graduate,

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,120
and the reigning queer Miss South Africa.

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,960
Ay, but one thing about Thoko, man,
she doesn't know how to take an "L."

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,960
Be it loss or love, she can't handle it.

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,600
[radio host] Welcome, all,
to the hottest city in South Africa,

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,680
the city of Durban.

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,280
The city that never sleeps.

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,320
Oh, man, the warmest place to be.

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,800
-Oh, what a beautiful song by Trompies…
-[air horn blares]

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,000
…welcoming you to the Felix Hlophe Show.

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,560
I'll introduce our guest
and highlight the theme for today.

21
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,400
And this special guest
has been pushing a passion.

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,080
A beauty queen that we love.

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,160
Thoko Duma. Miss South Africa.
Our favorite one.

24
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,680
A warm welcome to our show.

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,800
-Aw, thank you, Felix.
-[Felix laughs]

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,320
You're also our first
openly lesbian Miss South Africa.

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,560
-Yes.
-So you're a first.

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,040
An actual pioneer right now. [chuckles]

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,880
I mean, you were a clear favorite.

30
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:22,160
We all thought you were going
to win the crown

31
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,320
-at the big international Miss Universe.
-[Thoko] Yeah.

32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,960
-Um, next thing, uh… What happened?
-[chuckles]

33
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,080
Felix, are you saying you did not
get a chance to watch the show, hey?

34
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,720
Uh, it's not the same. I watched it.

35
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,880
But, hey, I was viewing from the outside.
You were in it.

36
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:39,560
So you were privy to things we are not.
We are not backstage.

37
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,240
So I want the juicy bits, you know.

38
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:42,880
The things that they don't show.

39
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:44,920
I mean, there you were next to Miss Kenya.

40
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,960
We thought that you were going to win.
Then, boom! Number two.

41
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,080
-[announcer] Miss Universe is Kenya!
-[audience applauding]

42
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,840
[cheering]

43
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,680
[Felix] How did that make you feel?
Tell us about that, please.

44
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,000
[chuckles] I mean,
I was disappointed, for sure.

45
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,360
So, in other words, you're saying,

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,640
actually it's you
who should've been Miss Universe?

47
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Yeah. Yeah, Felix,
that's exactly what I'm saying.

48
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,840
'Cause the crown that day
should've been me.

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,600
-Okay, go on.
-I was so far ahead of the competition,

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,240
but we know that means nothing.

51
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,800
You know there's many reasons why
the best candidate won't win the crown.

52
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,320
But now, what do you mean, Thoko?

53
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,240
What I mean is I wasn't willing
to open my legs to win the crown.

54
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Whoa. [chuckles] A bomb just dropped.

55
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Are you saying that to get the crown,
Miss Kenya did the deed?

56
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,840
With a judge, Felix.

57
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,160
[laughs] No way.

58
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,080
They flipped her over
like a piece of chicken from Nando's,

59
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,880
and then they gave her my crown.

60
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,120
Actually, she stole it.

61
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,320
Well, there you have it.
You heard it first right here on the show.

62
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,280
Uh, stay with us. Don't go away.

63
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,480
We're gonna turn the heat up a notch
when we return.

64
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,960
Make sure you stay tuned.

65
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,040
[electronic voice] You're in the m--

66
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,920
T, you can't make an accusation like that.

67
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
-[Thoko] Ugh.
-I mean, really.

68
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,160
-[blogger] Thoko!
-How bad is it?

69
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,560
-It's not good.
-Miss South Africa, Thoko. How are you?

70
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,960
-A comment for my YouTube channel, please?
-We're fine, thank you.

71
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,880
-I'm asking. Please?
-Please, no comment.

72
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000
-Please, Thoko, you look so beautiful.
-Get in the car, T.

73
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,880
Okay, can I ask? Did they also offer
for you to sleep with the judge?

74
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,640
-[friend] Hey, lady, no comment, okay?
-Ugh.

75
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,960
Please tell me what happened.

76
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,600
-Just some details.
-[Thoko] Can I close the door?

77
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,720
-Just-- [groaning] You're hurting me.
-[Thoko] Okay, I'm closing the door.

78
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Why are you like this?

79
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,800
Hey, my word.
How rude is Miss South Africa?

80
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,280
You see, this is exactly what happens

81
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,480
when you start flying
too close to the sun.

82
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,480
Life will find a way to humble you.

83
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,120
And let me tell you, my friend,
the timeline, it never forgets. [exclaims]

84
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Uh, I studied…

85
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,720
[overlaps] I'm born and raised here.

86
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,920
[indistinct overlapping chattering]

87
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,440
So, what's your hustle?

88
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,720
-I write.
-What do you write?

89
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,440
-Novels.
-Oh.

90
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,360
They say that's an industry dying
little by little.

91
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,240
-Yeah, but--
-Why don't you try writing a movie?

92
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,440
-Well, I mean--
-With a movie, it just takes two hours

93
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,920
for you to get all the plot in.

94
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,680
But with a book, it takes forever
to read that thing.

95
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Hey, listen, I've got a course
you can take on YouTube.

96
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,720
Thirteen-hour master class, see?
Over five weeks.

97
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,840
You'll be able to write an amazing
blockbuster to take you to fame.

98
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,880
[chuckles] I'll tell about it, okay?

99
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,160
But for now…

100
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,720
let me rush to the bathroom. I'll be back.

101
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,960
The course is amazing.

102
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:28,280
No ways, Mom. Never. Never.

103
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,720
I know I'm not exactly Miss Congeniality,
but that guy!

104
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,240
Why? He's such a loser!

105
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440
I don't think
you should be calling names right now.

106
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,400
You are in no position to say "loser"--

107
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,800
Mom, he wouldn't even let me
say a single word.

108
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,640
-He just ignored me.
-Are you sure that could he even hear you?

109
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,600
-Oh, wow. Wow.
-Because you're always whispering.

110
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,400
[whispering]
Everything you say is always low.

111
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,080
-Just like this.
-Ma!

112
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Just trying to assist.

113
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,920
[scoffs] You know, like… [stutters]
…the thing I don't understand, right,

114
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,760
is that, like, y-you just saw that guy,
then you decide on the spot,

115
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:04,120
"Hmm, this young man here
would be very fitting for my child."

116
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,240
Why?

117
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,320
So, have you dated?

118
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,720
Do you even know what dating is,

119
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,880
or the type of person
that you want to date?

120
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,600
How should I know what your type is?

121
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,640
-"That's my type. No, that's not"--
-Yeah, Mom, but it's not my type!

122
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,960
[sighs] My girl.

123
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,040
[sighs]

124
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,400
I just don't want you
to die alone one day, my darling.

125
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,760
[sighs] I can figure it out myself.

126
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,840
How's the book coming along, baby?

127
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,160
Oh, my word.

128
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,400
No. No. My problems are a million and one.

129
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,080
[groans]

130
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,880
It's not.

131
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,280
Usually, a-all the words just…
just pop out easily,

132
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,000
like, pouring from me,

133
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,680
but right now, I've just, like…
I've hit a block.

134
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,440
You don't think it's because you're
writing about something you haven't seen?

135
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,400
You don't know how it feels
or what happens in it,

136
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,680
but you just keep on
bashing out the words.

137
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,400
I'm a writer. That's kind of the point.

138
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,880
I don't need to live the story
in order to know what to write, no.

139
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,360
-And that's why you need Jason.
-What?

140
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,360
I've heard he's even got
a YouTube channel online

141
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,880
-where he teaches people how to--
-Absolutely not.

142
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,240
Absolutely not.

143
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,960
[radio host 2] Welcome to Durban,
known as the hottest city.

144
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,160
We've got another soulful Amapiano track
just before the 04:00 p.m. news.

145
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,520
-[knocking continues]
-Gosh, I'm coming.

146
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,200
You all right?

147
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,240
Yeah, but that's not okay.

148
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,600
I mean, to strip you of your title
and to take away your home.

149
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,760
No. When have you ever seen that?

150
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,520
Well… [sighs]

151
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,880
…apparently, I broke the code of the
South African Beauty Pageants Association.

152
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,880
So tell me,
what am I gonna do now, my friend?

153
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,080
Something better.

154
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,760
It's okay.

155
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:05,000
We'll be able to figure something out
together, you'll see.

156
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,200
Yeah, well. [sighs]

157
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:10,720
I'm grateful for you allowing me
to take the big room

158
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,800
-and you moving into the small room.
-Oh, not at all. [chuckles]

159
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,280
-Listen. Really. Mi casa, su casa.
-Thank you.

160
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,600
-Got you.
-[journalist] Breaking news.

161
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,400
Miss South Africa gets stripped
of her title…

162
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,760
-What are they saying now?
-Wait.

163
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,560
[Thoko, on radio] The crown that day
should've been me.

164
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,200
They flipped her over
like a piece of chicken from Nando's,

165
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,160
and then they gave her my crown.

166
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,400
Actually, she stole it.

167
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,400
I made one mistake.
How long will I be punished, Buhle?

168
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,600
-It will pass, okay?
-[sighs]

169
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,680
All of this will pass.

170
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,360
-Buhle.
-It's fine.

171
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,720
-[Thoko whimpers]
-[sighs]

172
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,840
[giggles]

173
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,040
Well, as I said to you just now,

174
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,120
I'm just a simple guy, you know,

175
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,320
who likes to take pleasure
in the simple things too.

176
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,400
Mmm.

177
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,840
I hear you. I hear you, Lucky.

178
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:59,080
So… Um, so… [stammers]
…what is the attraction about?

179
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,240
To you?

180
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,800
You want me to explain
what attracted me to you?

181
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,400
[chuckles]

182
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,440
When you laugh like that now,

183
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,440
-it's like nothing matters at all.
-[giggles]

184
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,400
I feel like disappearing.

185
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,600
That's beautiful. [giggles]

186
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,400
-[giggles] So…
-Mmm.

187
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,120
Um, when was your last relationship?

188
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,120
-Relationship?
-Mmm.

189
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,160
I'm still in one at the moment.

190
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,840
-Uh, I…
-Hey, hey.

191
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,400
Don't be too concerned here.

192
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,800
My partner knows, you see.
And she won't disturb you and me now.

193
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,600
You know, right now
we just have to enjoy each other

194
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:37,640
then you and I…
we can go our separate ways.

195
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,159
Um… [stutters] …Lucky, thank you, but…

196
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,919
[stammers] …I don't think it's gonna work.

197
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,280
Wait, Nana.

198
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,520
I know this can be a lot to take in,
you know, and you haven't done it before.

199
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,240
But I know that we can do this.
It can work out great.

200
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,960
-What do you say?
-N-No, Lucky.

201
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,960
[stammering] Thank you f-for your time.

202
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,200
You're leaving?
Nana, we haven't even eaten yet.

203
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,920
-[elevator bell dings]
-You okay?

204
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,560
-[sighs] We need a win, B.
-We'll get it.

205
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,800
Uh-uh, we need to make one. As in, now.

206
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,720
What though? What are you thinking?

207
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,720
-Reality show.
-Oh, my God, Tho--

208
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,400
No, B, but listen. On a reality show,
we control the narrative.

209
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,920
-Okay.
-You know?

210
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,200
I mean… [chuckles] …that will be tough.

211
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,080
Because you've also thrown in the towel?

212
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,680
Nah, it's just…

213
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,840
It's one thing to shop around
for a reality show

214
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,840
for Miss South Africa
during the year of her reign.

215
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,440
But we don't have that anymore.
So what's your selling point?

216
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,680
You! You're my manager, B!

217
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,200
I'm your manager, T, not a miracle worker.

218
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,960
Okay, so now
you're not throwing in the towel,

219
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,960
-but you've lost belief in me.
-No, no, no.

220
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,560
I'm just saying we'll figure it out, okay?

221
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,880
-Okay. [sighs]
-[engine starts]

222
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,120
-Where to?
-I'll show you.

223
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,840
[saxophone playing]

224
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,880
-[cheering]
-Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

225
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:10,960
[chuckles]

226
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,720
[jazz music playing]

227
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,160
So when you said, "I'll show you,"
you meant, "I'll show you a bookshop"?

228
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,000
No, I heard
that one of your favorite writers

229
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,920
-will be signing books here today.
-[gasps] No!

230
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,320
-Yep.
-Liana?

231
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,280
She literally never makes any appearances.

232
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,680
[breathing heavily]

233
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,120
-For you, the whole world.
-Aw.

234
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,600
-[chuckles]
-Look.

235
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:41,040
[gasps] One of my faves.

236
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,920
-[Buhle] Lethu!
-Hi!

237
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,400
-[Buhle] You good?
-[Lethu] I'm good.

238
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
[pants]

239
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,040
Hey, okay, so just listen.

240
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,240
I've warmed up the crowd.
The vibe is vibing.

241
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,920
And they're feeling ready
for the grand entrance

242
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,400
of the great Liana Ndlovu.

243
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,520
So, my friend, let's go.

244
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,080
But if I go down there, I'll drop dead.
I promise.

245
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,080
The people down there
want to see Liana Ndlovu.

246
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,960
[stammers] A confident, sexy,
award-winning romance novelist.

247
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,320
What will they say when they see me?

248
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,640
A socially awkward, gawky, sweaty wreck.

249
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,600
Nana, people love Liana Ndlovu.

250
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,280
-They love her.
-Only when I write, Zweli!

251
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,920
[breathing shakily] Without my pen,
I'm just… I'm just poor Nana.

252
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,360
-I'm sorry, Zweli.
-Hey, hey, it's okay. Come on.

253
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,800
-[Nana cries] I can't.
-It's fine.

254
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,000
Jesus, um--

255
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,080
I got this.

256
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,520
Hey, I'm going to need you, man.

257
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,600
Um… [clears throat]

258
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,120
Um, ladies and gentlemen.

259
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,760
Um, if I can please
just have your attention?

260
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,840
Thank you.

261
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,200
-[jazz music fades]
-So there's a bit of bad news.

262
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,320
So-So… Liana Ndlovu is, unfortunately,
not feeling well.

263
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,560
So she won't…
she won't be able to make it.

264
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,040
Um, but she would have really loved
to be here.

265
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,760
Um, with that, unfortunately,
what that means is that

266
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,160
the book signing is-is… has been canceled.

267
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,120
-[audience muttering]
-I'm so sorry, but you know what?

268
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,280
You can stay. Let's all stay.
Enjoy the books.

269
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,080
We'll give out free coffee
from Black Books.

270
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,640
Sir, ma'am, please. Ma'am… [stammers]

271
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,080
Quickly. Quickly, get the coffee, guys.

272
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,040
Personally, I'm not surprised.

273
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,400
Liana, she's a true artist, okay?
She doesn't do this for fame or anything.

274
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,480
Why announce that you'll be
signing books today and then not show up?

275
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,360
-[sighs] Let's go.
-I need to use the bathroom.

276
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,400
-[Buhle] Huh? [sighs]
-Toilet, okay?

277
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,400
[Thoko] Hi.

278
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,200
[water runs, stops]

279
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,760
Hey.

280
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,520
You okay?

281
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,600
Um, no.

282
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:40,800
What's wrong?

283
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,160
You're upset 'cause Liana didn't pitch?

284
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,280
[sighs]

285
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,720
Yeah, actually.

286
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,680
And… And you?

287
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,960
Nah, not really.

288
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,880
Oh.

289
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,560
-Didn't you come here to see her, though?
-Yes, I came to see her, sure.

290
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,200
But to be honest, I think
it's a bit badass she didn't arrive.

291
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,920
Badass?

292
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,880
Uh, I mean, she failed, you know?

293
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,960
You've all come this way
and put in effort, and she…

294
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,320
she doesn't even have the decency
to show up.

295
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Look, I think, for me, personally,

296
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,480
it's enough that Liana keeps writing
and producing books.

297
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:31,560
Also, fame…

298
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,000
[sighs] …it's not as easy
as we think it is.

299
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,480
So I don't blame her for hiding.

300
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,840
Don't be so hard on her.

301
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,080
Okay?

302
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,280
[chuckles] Hang in there.

303
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,040
Hey, um…

304
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,880
I'm grateful. [breathes shakily]

305
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,160
I'm grateful to you for this moment.

306
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:00,280
[chuckles]

307
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,240
I'm grateful too. You're a gem.

308
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,680
[chuckles] Bye.

309
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,440
-Hi. [chuckles] Sorry. Come.
-[Buhle whispers] One second.

310
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,600
[Thoko chuckles]

311
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:20,960
-So, I've had a spark of genius.
-Okay.

312
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,000
If we can't pull together a reality show
to tell my story, I'm gonna write a book.

313
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,200
Oh, my gosh. Do you even write?

314
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,320
Buhle, well, do you think every famous
person with a book wrote it themselves?

315
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,680
What are you talking about?
Like a ghostwriter?

316
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,760
Mm-hmm. [clicks tongue] Liana Ndlovu.

317
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,200
-What?
-Uh-huh.

318
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,760
Nobody knows who she is.
How are you going to find her?

319
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,040
Yeah, but you are my manager.

320
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,000
You're the one
who's going to make it happen.

321
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,880
I feel like we need
to renegotiate these terms, yeah?

322
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,640
-[Nana whispering] Zweli. Zweli.
-[Zweli] Mmm?

323
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,920
Where did Miss South Africa
get my e-mail address from?

324
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,160
What?

325
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,040
-Miss South Africa has your e-mail?
-Yes.

326
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,440
-[laughs] Put it up. No?
-[groans]

327
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,280
You don't want to know what I had to do
in order for me to get it. [groans]

328
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,760
Uh, you probably asked
that guy from the book shop. Didn't you?

329
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,240
-Yes, I asked the guy from the book shop.
-[both laughing]

330
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,040
She wants me to ghostwrite.

331
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,880
[stammers] Apparently she's, like,
a Liana Ndlovu fan.

332
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,520
Oh. Oh, tha-that is
an amazing opportunity, right?

333
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,760
That's great. And your reply?

334
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,840
She said no.

335
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,760
-Yoh.
-Have I ever written a biography?

336
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,080
Have I ever written a biography?

337
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,400
Uh, you're writing nothing, Nana.

338
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,720
You have not been writing.

339
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,800
[stammers] You've been working
on the same thing for months,

340
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:40,920
and you need the money.

341
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,320
-[gasps]
-Okay, okay. Listen, listen.

342
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,400
A book about Thoko Duma is mega.

343
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,480
And it's a bestseller. I predict that.

344
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,440
I mean, Thoko was Miss South Africa.

345
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,160
And then she entered Miss Universe,
but at Miss Universe, she didn't win.

346
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,320
When she came back, they stripped her
of her Miss South Africa title.

347
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,560
You see how it's tragic.

348
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,360
-[softly] What?
-You didn't know that?

349
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,120
No, it's the first time
I'm hearing it at all.

350
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,280
Listen to me, Nana.

351
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,320
This is a great opportunity.
This could be an amazing thing.

352
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,000
[stammering] Okay, fine.

353
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,560
[stammering] But, what if…

354
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,400
What if she tells people that I'm Liana?

355
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,840
[stammers] NDA, right?

356
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,720
Make her sign an NDA,
and she won't tell anyone. Problem solved.

357
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,120
Come on.

358
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,120
[Thoko squeals, giggles]

359
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,120
She said yes! Buhle.

360
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,280
-She agreed to write my book!
-Thoko, volume.

361
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,240
[gasps] Oh. Oh, oh, I'm so sorry.

362
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,040
[stammers] I'ma look away. I'ma look away.

363
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,960
Okay, wait, what to wear? What to wear?

364
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,240
I'm thinking the look should be
a blazer and sneakers.

365
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,520
So she can see that I'm serious,
but not too serious. You know?

366
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,880
Or a dress maybe,
like a floral, flowy dress.

367
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,560
[giggles] Liana Ndlovu, Buhle.

368
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,640
[squeals]

369
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,440
[groans] Zweli, no.

370
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,680
You're always pressuring me
to do things I don't want to do.

371
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,000
You do it all the time.

372
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,200
Who said you can go ahead
and give her my e-mail address, man?

373
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,600
Dude, you done with this?

374
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,040
Shap-shap. Thanks, man.

375
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,680
[stammers] Just go out, meet her,
and see what happens.

376
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,880
There's nothing to lose.
Nothing bad will happen.

377
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,600
But then what if she's disappointed
that I'm Liana, you know?

378
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,079
Disappointed? What do you mean?

379
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,440
You are amazing. You are incredible.

380
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,560
You are magnificent.

381
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,800
Yeah, but, friend, of course you'll say
things like that because you're my pal.

382
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,079
-And you have to say things like that.
-Uh, not necessarily. I don't--

383
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,160
-[Thoko] Hi! hi!
-[Zweli] Hey.

384
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,079
-Hi. [chuckles]
-Uh.

385
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,319
Hi!

386
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,560
-It's me, you met in the bathroom.
-Yes.

387
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,359
It was such a brief meeting. It's okay.

388
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,720
No, I remember.

389
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000
[stammers] So, what brings you back here?

390
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,040
-Um--
-Uh, n-no…

391
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,880
[stammers] …I don't mean like,
"What are you doing here?"

392
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,280
I just mean, like, of course, you can come
to a book shop if you want to.

393
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:42,800
-Obviously.
-[Thoko] Hey, it's okay.

394
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,440
[chuckles] My name is Thoko Duma.

395
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,920
Don't leave me hanging, girl.

396
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,240
-[Thoko chuckles]
-Oh, um. [chuckles]

397
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,000
-Hi.
-Hi. [chuckling] Hi.

398
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,240
Uh, uh…

399
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,720
-Oh, you're here for Liana, right?
-[Thoko whispers] Yes, I'm so nervous.

400
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,080
-Where is she?
-N-No… [stammering]

401
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,880
Me… My… My name is Nana.

402
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,840
-Okay.
-I'm Liana Ndlovu's… [stammering]

403
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,800
-I'm-I'm her assistant, yes.
-[Thoko] Ah.

404
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,640
[stammers] She couldn't make it today,
you understand.

405
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,080
Yeah, of course. No, no, no. It's okay.

406
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,080
[scoffs] I don't know why I thought
she'd show up for our first meeting ever.

407
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,080
[sighs] So silly of me.

408
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,360
But that explains why you're here
and you were here the other day.

409
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,600
And here I am rambling.
That's because I am so nervous.

410
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,800
[laughs] That's… That's okay.

411
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,240
It's just that…

412
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,160
[stammers] …she was needed overseas.

413
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,920
Yeah, so she had to, uh,
um, get out the country really quickly.

414
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,280
Um, yeah.

415
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:43,120
So, it's me… me.
I'll be handling today's meeting. Yeah.

416
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,560
Okay.

417
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,600
Do you wanna grab a seat? [chuckles]

418
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,560
-[stammering] Yes, um, yes, sure, um…
-Yeah.

419
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,000
-[sighs]
-Thanks. Thank you so much.

420
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,000
-[sighs]
-[stammers] Would you like some coffee?

421
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,320
-Listen, I would love a cup.
-Yeah. Okay.

422
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,840
Look, look, look. Nana, don't worry.

423
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,680
I'll make you chamomile to relax
so you can calm down.

424
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,240
And give her this butterscotch cake.

425
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,720
She'll love it. She'll love it.
Please give her this cake.

426
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,600
Yeah, you're good. You're good.
So, so good. You're good.

427
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,840
[Thoko] Do you mind a little gossip?

428
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,480
So you're telling me that every day,
every day, you're hanging with Liana.

429
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,760
What's that like?
I'm sure she's absolutely amazing.

430
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,000
Um… [stammers]
…I hardly see her, though, you see.

431
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,680
She hardly has time for anything
besides her writing.

432
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,600
Don't you have, like, a picture of her
on your phone or something?

433
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,920
I did sign the NDA.
I'm not gonna say anything.

434
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,360
Oh, sh-she doesn't take photos.

435
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure she doe…

436
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,480
Look, Nana, I'm sorry.
I'm fangirling so hard.

437
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,120
-I absolutely love her.
-[chuckles]

438
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,840
[giggles]

439
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,320
That's… That's fine, um…

440
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,880
-Can we get back to books soon, though?
-Of course.

441
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,120
So what I was saying earlier is that
it's really, really important for her

442
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,960
to write from the place of Liana
and not try to sound like me, you know?

443
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,440
Because I think her writing style is…
[kisses air] …absolutely amazing.

444
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,720
[chuckles]

445
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,040
Nana?

446
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:09,440
-Are you even writing any of this down?
-Y-Yes, uh, of course I am.

447
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,120
[soul music playing]

448
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,960
[no audible dialogue]

449
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,160
Yeah, and I mean, I've just…
I've always known what I like,

450
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,440
and it… it works.

451
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:23,800
-You have…
-What?

452
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,680
-Let me get that for you.
-Oh. Thanks.

453
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,680
[soul music continues]

454
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,080
[no audible dialogue]

455
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,840
I'm grateful for your time, ma'am.

456
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:53,920
And I'm grateful
that you gave in to this process.

457
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,240
And, um, thank you for letting me in.

458
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,160
You're a beautiful spirit.

459
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,880
[music fades]

460
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,200
[Thoko clears throat]

461
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,480
Ah, I just came to say I'm on my way.

462
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,280
-Hey, okay!
-[chuckles]

463
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:26,680
-Are we sure that this is still work?
-What do you mean, Buhle?

464
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,240
Well, it's just that you've been spending
a lot of time with your researcher.

465
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,280
-Yoh.
-And you've been blowing me off for weeks.

466
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:33,600
-The drama right now. If you must know…
-Yeah.

467
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,240
…I've been telling her my whole life story
starting from A, okay, all the way to Z.

468
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,800
So I'm gonna spend time with her,
if that's okay with you.

469
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,360
Yeah, of course.
With a full face of makeup, it seems.

470
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,240
-Leave me.
-Look at you.

471
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,840
-All glowing.
-[laughs]

472
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,840
-Cutie. You look good though.
-Wow.

473
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,280
-[Thoko laughs]
-Okay?

474
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:51,160
Go ahead with your fine self.

475
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,040
[both chuckling]

476
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,040
Sometimes, you know…

477
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:59,880
you see, I dream about a life for me
that's away from the attention.

478
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,280
Out of the focus of the limelight.

479
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:05,120
[stammers] Well then, you're saying
you don't like your life?

480
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,240
No, no, no. No, don't get me wrong.

481
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,120
I… I love what I do.

482
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,600
I enjoy getting to be me.
I love the life I've built for myself.

483
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,440
You see, it's just that sometimes
I fear that the truth is I'm not me.

484
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,880
I'm hiding behind this persona
so that people don't see the real me.

485
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,320
So it's… it's refreshing
to be able to talk to someone.

486
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,400
Honestly.

487
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,680
-So candidly.
-[Nana clears throat]

488
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,240
Thoko, I, um…

489
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,000
What's up?

490
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,600
[watch chimes]

491
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Oh.

492
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,520
Oh, my gosh.

493
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:45,680
We've been sitting here
for a whole five hours.

494
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,000
-[chuckling] Five hours?
-Ah!

495
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,920
It literally feels like two minutes.

Not even once.

833
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:21,200
-We're worlds apart, Zweli.
-Look,

834
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,360
I just want you to know that
I am immensely proud of you right now.

835
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,280
Understand?

836
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,040
And if you're right,
and she doesn't want you, it's her loss.

837
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:34,920
[clicks tongue] I guess.

838
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,840
So, Nana,

839
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,800
-have you never really been kissed before?
-[groans]

840
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,480
Can I have some coffee, please, Zweli?
A strong one.

841
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,800
Would you like some licorice with that?

842
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,760
-[Nana laughing]
-[chuckles]

843
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,120
[Sindi] As you can see,

844
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,200
I don't like using the brush.

845
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,600
-Hmm.
-I prefer using my hands like this, see?

846
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,360
Because I prefer
when I'm connecting with my work.

847
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,160
You know, I feel like

848
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,520
the brush,

849
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,280
I don't know,
it's a bit impersonal for me. So--

850
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,120
-I see. I see.
-Yeah. See?

851
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,840
This is why I use my hands.
Do you wanna try?

852
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,560
-Yes. Yes.
-Of course, yeah. I can tell. [laughs]

853
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,640
-Okay.
-Yes. Let's see. Both hands.

854
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:17,960
Eh.

855
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,800
-Yeah?
-Don't be so rough all the time.

856
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,640
Better slowly. Gently.

857
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:25,920
-[Thoko] Oh, okay. Mmm. Yes.
-Gentle. Ooh, right.

858
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,800
You must take your time with it.

859
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,600
-Oh, okay.
-Ah. The thigh as well?

860
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,680
[clock ticking]

861
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,440
And then massage the thigh right up.

862
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:34,520
-Okay. Yes.
-[Sindi] Yeah.

863
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,440
-Just massage it in like that.
-[clock ticking continues]

864
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,360
-[Sindi] Nicely. [laughs]
-[oven dings]

865
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,480
-Mmm, mmm, mmm. [chuckles]
-Mmm.

866
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,040
Ah, that was so good.

867
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,160
It's my pleasure.

868
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:49,520
It's so good,
I may ask you for a little, uh, takeaway.

869
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,560
-I'll put one together. No worries at all.
-Ah. Thank you.

870
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,440
Now tell us, our dearest,
lovely, Miss South Africa.

871
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:57,520
Mm-hmm?

872
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,800
-What happened during Miss Universe?
-Here we go.

873
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,280
I knew you wouldn't wrap this up
without bringing that up.

874
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,600
No, I want to know,
and the people also want to know.

875
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,360
Well, do you still stand by
the words that you said?

876
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:10,480
[sighs]

877
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,160
[Sindi] Come on.

878
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,120
Okay. Right,

879
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,320
I think there's a lot that we need
to unpack about that night.

880
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:23,360
And we don't have enough time
to dive into the topic today.

881
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,320
You know, it's a tricky one, I must admit.

882
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,320
I am, however, writing a tell-all book
that will be out soon.

883
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,120
But, in the time being,
I do want to say this.

884
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,960
[sighs] I want to apologize
to the whole of South Africa

885
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,200
for how I handled myself.

886
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,800
I'm sorry to Miss Kenya,

887
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,400
and I'm also sorry
to all the kids that look up to me.

888
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,360
I do know that my behavior
was not good at all.

889
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,560
So, you were
actually into this girl, then?

890
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:03,920
Don't say that, Buhle.

891
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,360
No, I just mean I think, you know,
she wasn't your type.

892
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,240
Uh, well, yes,
she is a little anxious, I won't lie,

893
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,480
but, yet, she can also be so calm.

894
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,880
I feel so comfortable when I'm with her.

895
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,440
I felt like Thoko, you know?
Thoko, the real me.

896
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:19,760
[sighs]

897
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,280
Nana doesn't care at all about celebrity.

898
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,640
She stays at home and reads her books.

899
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,720
So why would she go out with me?

900
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,280
Come on. It's her loss. You're a catch.

901
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,320
And Sindi is smart
because she matches that in you.

902
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,640
Yeah, I was so surprised
when she asked me on a date. I was like…

903
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:39,000
She's a good person.

904
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,800
And I can tell
you guys are gonna get along.

905
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:41,880
Yeah, maybe.

906
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,920
Don't be scared, Thoko! Come! I'm here!

907
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,960
[Sindi whooping]

908
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:53,600
[Thoko screams]

909
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,360
[Sindi laughs]

910
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:58,800
Do you know that people actually

911
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,960
-really loved that episode of yours?
-Well, those people

912
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,080
-are just hungry for drama.
-I'm serious. People love you. Really.

913
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,720
I don't believe you. No way.

914
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,080
-You don't believe me?
-No, I don't.

915
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,480
But look at the comments.

916
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,560
-Read them.
-[sighs] Okay.

917
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,800
I'll see what they've been saying.

918
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,680
[clears throat]

919
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,640
"Say what you want to say about Thoko,
but she's the prettiest Miss SA."

920
00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:23,960
You see?
And you thought I was lying to you, girl.

921
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,320
-Uh-uh.
-Uh-huh.

922
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:26,400
Next one.

923
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,240
"The sight of Thoko
was a breath of fresh air,

924
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,120
but I wouldn't leave her alone…
[laughing] …in the kitchen."

925
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,240
Uh, yeah. I don't know about that one…

926
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,000
-Oh, wow.
-…but, you know, also,

927
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,520
that episode of yours had the most views.

928
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,000
-Really?
-For real. I'm serious.

929
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,280
People really love you, my babe.

930
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,320
Hectic. Wow. That's crazy.

931
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,600
[Sindi] Um,

932
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,160
I want to get to know you, Thoko.

933
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,200
That is… That is very direct.

934
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,080
I mean, isn't that always the best option?

935
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,800
-Fair. Fair.
-Mm-hmm.

936
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,040
But then, though,

937
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,520
what happens if I already have someone
in the picture already?

938
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,240
And how do you know there isn't anyone?

939
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,000
Okay. Is there someone, then?

940
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,040
No.

941
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,960
So meaning you won't have a problem
with me posting these vids from today?

942
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,240
Oh, post, yeah!

943
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,520
[electronic voice]
Wow, Chef Sindi and Miss SA

944
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,360
-make such a cute couple.
-[Sindi, Thoko shriek]

945
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,960
[Thoko laughs, shrieks]

946
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,320
Whoo! We're having the best time…

947
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,800
-[Zweli] Hey.
-…at the water park.

948
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,320
[Sindi cheers, laughs]

949
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:41,400
[video stops]

950
00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:47,720
[Zweli clears throat]

951
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,080
Listen, Nana.

952
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,960
Don't jump to conclusions
when you look at those posts.

953
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,920
Journalists will write
anything to sell papers.

954
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,280
Zweli, just… just go to band practice.

955
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:15,760
Okay.

956
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,720
[Thoko] I think that the biggest influence
on me has been my mom.

957
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,240
You know, like my go-getting spirit,
my sense of style. I got it all from her.

958
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:47,480
Yeah.

959
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,560
Um…

960
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,960
So you've never, um,
spoken about your… your love life.

961
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,880
[stammers] For the book, you know.

962
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:58,960
Well… [sighs]

963
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,880
I've been single for years now,
not dating.

964
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,240
My focus has been mainly,
you know, pageants. Really, only those.

965
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,160
So, currently, you're not seeing anyone
at the moment?

966
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:10,760
Not really, no.

967
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:12,760
Sindi?

968
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,040
Chef Sindi, I think

969
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,760
we've just been getting
to know each other.

970
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,280
For some reason, people are
interested in our relationship, I guess.

971
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,400
Plus, it works for both our brands.

972
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,240
-And she's a nice person.
-Oh.

973
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,640
[gasps] I just thought now.

974
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:31,160
Actually, this weekend,
there's, uh, an event,

975
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:33,080
and I would love it if you came with me.

976
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,440
Okay, okay, it's fine if you can't come.

977
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,880
-[stammers] I understa--
-Okay. Okay. Okay.

978
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,040
I'll come.

979
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:44,480
Cheers to that.

980
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,760
I know I said that…
[stammers] I had said to you

981
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,280
that it was the edibles
that made me dance on top of the roof,

982
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,960
but I really like you. I do.
I really, really love you.

983
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,360
Nana Liana Ndlovu!

984
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,720
You, my girl, are a badass!

985
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,480
You've won the awards,
and now it's time to win the girl.

986
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,120
[shrieks]

987
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,480
I mean, of course, she must…
she must be in love with you also.

988
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,520
Otherwise, she wouldn't
have asked you, right?

989
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:18,280
Thank you.

990
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,400
Uh, hi.

991
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,160
-I'm outside--
-[Thoko] Oh, yeah?

992
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:29,200
[Nana] Um, by the carpet. Where are you?

993
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,080
[Thoko] Oh. [laughs]

994
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,280
Oh, my God.

995
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,360
Thoko, I'm going to faint! [laughs]

996
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,400
Nana, is that you?

997
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:45,760
You look amazing.

998
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,640
You look beautiful.

999
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:49,920
Please. Please turn around
so I can see you properly.

1000
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,600
Like, do one turn so I… [laughs]

1001
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,840
-Oh, my God.
-[Nana laughs]

1002
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,920
-You like making me feel shy.
-Thoko.

1003
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,280
-I've been looking for you.
-Oh, I came to fetch our Nana.

1004
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,920
Nana, this is Sindi. Sindi, Nana.

1005
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,520
Sindi is a renowned chef.

1006
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,680
And Nana is the great Liana Ndlovu's
research assistant.

1007
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,880
I remember her.
She made quite the impression.

1008
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,400
Oh, I'm so sorry about that again.

1009
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,760
Ah. There's no need to apologize at all.

1010
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,680
Thoko, we have to do
the red carpet together.

1011
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,560
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um…

1012
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,320
So, please
would you just hold this for us?

1013
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:23,800
-[Nana] Oh, yeah.
-Just five minutes.

1014
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,400
All right. Come on. Let's go, then.

1015
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:26,720
Okay.

1016
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:27,800
[Sindi chuckles]

1017
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,480
-[crowd chattering]
-[camera shutters clicking]

1018
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,080
[interviewer] Well,
SA wants to know, are you two dating?

1019
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,160
Yes, we are.

1020
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:47,680
-[crowd murmuring]
-[shutters continue clicking]

1021
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,800
[crowd cheers]

1022
00:48:19,720 --> 00:48:20,720
[Thoko] No, Sindi,

1023
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,600
what I really do not understand
is you lying out in public.

1024
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,760
What do you mean?
Have we not been spending time together?

1025
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,240
I thought we liked each other, Thoko.

1026
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,640
Going on a few dates
means we're in a relationship now?

1027
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:31,160
-Oh, wow. Okay. All right.
-Good grief!

1028
00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:32,560
Sure, all right.

1029
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:37,160
Maybe I got a bit ahead of myself there
and said something.

1030
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:40,280
But would it be so bad
if we actually were dating?

1031
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,840
Then you should have asked me, Sindi.

1032
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,280
You don't just tell the whole world
that we're dating.

1033
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,720
-My--
-[Buhle] Hey. Guys, guys, guys, guys!

1034
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,560
Oh, what's going on?

1035
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,640
Thoko,

1036
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,280
I saw an opportunity and I took it, okay?

1037
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,360
Our kiss is trending
all over social media.

1038
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:57,960
I don't understand why you can't see

1039
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,080
that this is working
for us right now, my angel.

1040
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:01,760
-What's the problem?
-That is my problem.

1041
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,760
I'm going to write a public statement
and tell everyone that you're a liar!

1042
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,000
-No, you can't do that.
-Buhle, this is none of your business!

1043
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,760
-T, listen to me.
-Oh, God.

1044
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,160
Elite Properties wants
to give you an endorsement deal.

1045
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,400
[Buhle] A penthouse, fully furnished.

1046
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,240
Monthly stipend, two cars,
two vacations each year. Guys, come on.

1047
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,280
The company wants to show that
young couples can also buy property.

1048
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:27,280
But the only reason that you guys
have this deal is because you're official.

1049
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,240
-This is amazing.
-[Buhle] I know.

1050
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,200
T, it can help you
pay for your book release.

1051
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:34,400
Think about it.

1052
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,200
Nana, it's Zweli. Please open the door.

1053
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,240
Nana?

1054
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:54,240
Nana?

1055
00:49:55,720 --> 00:49:57,280
Please open the door, my friend.

1056
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,440
-Nana.
-Go away, Zweli.

1057
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,560
Please, my friend.
Just please open the door.

1058
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,320
Let's talk about it. Talk to me.
What's going on? Please, Nana.

[sobbing]

1060
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,000
All right, guys, this is your new place.

1061
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,440
-[Thoko laughs]
-So awesome!

1062
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,440
Yeah, that's beautiful. Beautiful.

1063
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:46,640
Hold on. Hold on.

1064
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,800

-Yes.
-[guests cheering]

1067
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:31,960
Ah.

1068
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,040
[guests laugh]

1069
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,360
[narrator] It doesn't mean you're happy
if you're posting long paragraphs.

1070
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,880
The longer the post,
the harder the relationship.

1071
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,720
All these, "Love lives here,"
nice content, lovely?

1072
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,440
It's not the truth, my love.

1073
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,000
You'll get burned out there.
Dating is not for the fainthearted.

1074
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:57,280
Ha!

1075
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,200
[clears throat]

1076
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,760

have dialed is not available at present.

-Please leave a message and then hang up.
-[sighs]

1078
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,240
-[phone beeps]
-Hey.

1079
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,520
It's been so many weeks now,
and I don't even know what I did.

1080
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,040
I miss you.

1081
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:25,960
Can you please just back to me?

1082
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,280
[Nana]
Hi, Thoko. I hope all is well on your end.

1083
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:39,800
I'm sending this to let you know

1084
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,120
that I've handed
all research material to Liana.

1085
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,040
If she has any questions,
she'll contact you directly.

1086
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,520
My part in this process is done.

1087
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,200
A hard copy of the manuscript
will be sent to you once it's ready.

1088
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:53,560
Regards, Nana.

1089
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:54,640
[mail sent noise]

1090
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,440
So, I just figured it's best
to cut all ties with her.

1091
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,240
No contact at all from now on.
Just like that.

1092
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,400
-So, what about the book?
-[groans]

1093
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:22,360
To be candid with you, I got
what I needed a long time ago. [sighs]

1094
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,200
I just… I just really enjoyed
hanging out with her.

1095
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:27,520
Are you okay?

1096
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:31,160
Yeah.

1097
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,320
I've cried.

1098
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:34,840
I've grieved her.

1099
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,960
And now I'm over it.

1100
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,720
[Thoko] Aw. [giggles]

1101
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:55,280
[chuckles]

1102
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:56,600
So sweet.

1103
00:53:58,800 --> 00:53:59,960
[Sindi] Follow the clues,

1104
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,120
and come meet me.

1105
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,360
Please, dress to the nines.

1106
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,280
Then solve the riddle
to which your chariot awaits.

1107
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:16,400
I run on my two feet
and also my two wheels. [chuckles]

1108

A run and a jump.

1109
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:25,760

What is all of this?

1116
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:54,960
You're so lovely.

1117
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,680
No. You did not answer me.

1118
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:58,880
What's all this?

1119
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:01,840
Thoko,

1120
00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:05,480
I've been going about this all wrong.

1121
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,280
I've been so focused on

1122
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,600
what people think about us,

1123
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,560
what our relationship looks like
on the outside.

1124
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,000
And I've neglected
what you feel like on the inside.

1125
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,480
You deserve so much more than that.

1126
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,440
You are the most amazing person
I've ever met.

1127
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,680
And there's no one else
who has a heart like yours.

1128
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,520
Please, would you give me another chance?

1129

[sighs]

1130
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:39,920

1131
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,720
-Step back from the cameras…

…social media, and make it about us.

1133
00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:47,880
Not about our brands.

1134
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,560
Who we are to each other.

1135
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,000
And how well we treat each other.

1136
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,160
And please, Thoko,
I promise you that I'll work harder

1137
00:55:56,240 --> 00:55:58,120
to be a better partner to you, okay?

1138
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,400
Okay, I'm willing to try.

1139

-Yeah.

it might be romantic. Atmospheric.

Ah.

Uh-uh. You're not working.

1157
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,680
You're avoiding the world,
hiding from people,

1158

so you're going to get up
and get back out there right now.

I can't, Ma. I cannot go back out there.
It's a mess out there.

But this is all my fault, my girl.

I protected you too much as a child.

I was just so scared
at the thought of losing you.

I've ever made.

00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:49,640
You know… [sighs]

1169
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,680
…I was thinking about it
the other day, you see.

1170
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,400
Like, among people… [stammers]
…you get main characters, right?

1171
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:58,480
Like,

1172
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:00,800
some beautiful people,

1173
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,560
who are funny too,

1174
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:03,920
that are sexy

1175
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,200
and loved by everyone.

1176
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,240
And then… and then become
Miss South Africa.

1177
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,160
And then end up dating, you know,
Miss South Africa.

1178
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:15,600
And then there are people like us.

1179
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,800
Like, extras.

1180
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,640
Forgettable faces in people's lives.

1181
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,600
-Okay.
-[stammers] No, no offense.

1182
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,600
I thought we were here chilling, enjoying,
we are having a good time.

1183
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,240
But actually, now you say this?

1184
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,200
Yeah, well, you also thought
that crypto is not a scam.

1185
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,080
I don't think you can judge your judgment.

1186
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,320
-Oh. Oh.
-[sighs]

1187
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:41,280
I'm sorry. I'm… I'm sorry.

1188
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,840
Listen, listen. Crypto is legit.
I'm being serious here.

1189
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:47,720
[groans]

1190
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:49,880
Okay, excuse me. I'm going to the toilet.

1191
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,440
Please don't go anywhere. Please.

1192
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,840
-I won't do that to you again.
-Mmm.

1193
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:55,920
I'll be back.

1194
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,200
[knock on door]

1195
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,080
-[knock on door]
-Coming.

1196
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,400
-[gasps] How are you?
-Hello, ma'am, how are you?

1197
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:49,760
-I'm good.
-I'm well, ma'am.

1198
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:53,480
Uh, sorry to bother.
I have a parcel, uh, for Miss Duma.

1199
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:54,720
-Oh, that's me.
-Oh, that's you?

1200
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,360
-Um, here's your package.
-Ah. Right.

1201
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:58,880
-Have a great day, ma'am.
-Same to you.

1202
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:00,120
-Thank you.
-Bye.

1203
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:13,120
[Thoko sighs]

1204
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,600
[gasps] No way.

1205
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:35,920
There you go.

1206
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,520
-[singsongy] Thank you, my Zwe.
-Enjoy.

1207
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:40,720
[Zweli chuckles]

1208
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,160
A painful end of a chapter.

1209
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,200
Painful end, that's for sure,
but it's a relief.

1210
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:51,280
Yeah.

1211
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,400
Look, I know it still hurts a lot.

1212
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:00,160
Mmm.

1213
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:02,720
Hey.

1214
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,400
Maybe…

1215
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,560
Maybe my next book down the line
will be a heartbreak trilogy.

1216
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,600
[both laugh]

1217
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:15,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1218
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:22,520
Zweli, thank you.

1219
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:33,560
[sighs]

1220
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:42,920
[Thoko breathes shakily]

1221
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:44,680
[Sindi] Hey.

1222
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:47,840
Hey.

1223
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:49,320
-Are you all right?
-[clears throat]

1224
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,640
-[softly] Yeah.
-Yeah?

1225
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,120
I just finished reading
the manuscript of my book.

1226
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,160
-[sighs] It's so beautiful.
-Yeah?

1227
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,680
-Please read it.
-[clears throat] Okay.

1228
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,360
-[phone ringing]
-Oh, wait.

1229
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:08,400
Hello?

1230
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:10,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1231
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,120
I'll read it.

1232
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:14,240
Mm-hmm.

1233
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,440
Yeah, sure, we can talk.
I'm not that busy.

1234
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,400
-I'm not here.
-[Zweli] Hmm?

1235
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:38,760
I'm not here.

1236
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,920
-Ah, hi.
-[Zweli] Hey.

1237
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,600
-How are you?
-I'm okay, thanks. How are you?

1238
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:50,680
I'm good.

1239
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,640
Um, you seen Nana?

1240
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:55,640
Mm-mmm.

1241
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:58,800
Okay, um…

1242
01:03:59,960 --> 01:04:02,360
Can I have a cappuccino?

1243
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,360
-Yeah.
-Cappuccino. Coming right up.

1244
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:07,520
Please, um, grab a seat.

1245
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:11,120
[sighs]

1246
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:20,000
[sighs]

1247
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:21,880
[phone beeps]

1248
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,760
[electronic voice] The number you have
dialed is not available at present.

1249
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:27,840
Please leave a message and then hang up.

1250
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,680
-[sighs] All right.
-Um, one cappuccino.

1251
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,440
Thank you. [clears throat]

1252
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,280
[clears throat] Is… Is there anything else
I can get for you?

1253
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,120
No. Um…

1254
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,320
do you know, perhaps,
what time she'll be back? Nana?

1255
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,400
No.

1256
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:48,800
[softly] 'Kay.

1257
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,720
[footsteps approaching]

1258
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:11,040
[Thoko] Ah. So, this is
where you've been hiding?

1259
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:12,440
[footsteps approaching]

1260
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:13,840
Nana… [sighs]

1261
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:16,360
…tell me what's up.

1262
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:18,880
What should I say?

1263
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:20,800
[scoffs] You… You just disappeared.

1264
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,960
I've tried phoning, sent SMSes, emails.
Nothing.

1265
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,560
All my work with you was over.

1266
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:28,240
[sighs] Nana…

1267
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,000
[sighs] …you speak as if
there was just work between us.

1268
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:32,440
Come on now.

1269
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,000
But what else was there
besides the work between us two?

1270
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:37,960
[sighs] I mean…

1271
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,000
-Okay then.
-[stammers] No, Nana.

1272
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,040
Please tell me what it is I did.

1273
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,080
Well, actually, Thoko,
what do you want here?

1274
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:49,560
Well, uh,

1275
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,080
I got the manuscript, and I wanted
to come and find you to celebrate.

1276
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:53,160
Why?

1277
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:54,920
Why don't you go celebrate
with your girl now?

1278
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:56,120
Nana, I-I--

1279
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:57,680
No, Thoko.

1280
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,360
I know who I am in this story.

1281
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,480
I'm the girl who ends up alone,

1282
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:06,440
while-while you, Miss Beauty Queen,
get everything you want.

1283
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:08,240
[sighs, whispers] Nana--

1284
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,480
You invited me, that one moment,
out on a date,

1285
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,360
only to ignore me the entire night

1286
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,280
and have me holding the bags
for the two of you.

1287
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,960
I boldly asked you, I asked you,
if you were seeing anyone then.

1288
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:22,960
So then you flat-out lied.

1289
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,800
-You humiliated me.
-No, but I didn't know. I d--

1290
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:27,480
I loved you.

1291
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,920
-And you knew that.
-Nana, that's not fair.

1292
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,480
I asked you if you loved me,
and you said no.

1293
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:32,840
I was mortified then.

1294
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,680
I was as high as a kite.

1295
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,280
That's not how I wanted to tell you
I was in love with you.

1296
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,800
I was willing… [stammers]
I was willing to come clean.

1297
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,040
And maybe I was ready to tell you…

1298
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:46,120
[sighs]

1299
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,160
The reason why you haven't met Liana is…

1300
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:52,440
'cause, you see, I'm Liana.

1301
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,760
[chuckles] I was willing to trust you
with that secret, Thoko.

1302
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:00,040
Wait now.

1303
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,000
Wait, you are Liana?

1304
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:06,000
[stammers]

1305
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,720
I really did feel bad about lying to you.

1306
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,400
But not anymore, because clearly, you see,

1307
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,240
between us,
I was not the only one making things up.

1308
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:16,360
[whispers] Nana.

1309
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:20,000
Thoko, you've got your manuscript in hand.

1310
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,160
So, let's…

1311
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:27,840
Let's just leave it here.

1312
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,600
-[Buhle] Yeah, you see, this side.
-[Sindi] Oh, yeah, yeah.

1313
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,320
-[Buhle] The whole angle. Yeah.
-[Sindi] I want to see the colors of the…

1314
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:45,680
I think that's okay.

1315
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,320
T! Hey, T. We're here.

1316
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,320
-[inhales] Ooh.
-[squeals]

1317
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:55,600
[Sindi] Here she comes.

1318
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:58,280
[Thoko] What's going on?

1319
01:07:58,360 --> 01:07:59,960
-Should I tell her, or will you?
-Okay.

1320
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,280
[Buhle] You're about to love me
a whole lot more.

1321
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,960
Now then, the two of you
are going to get your very own

1322
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,160
-reality show!
-[gasps]

1323
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,440
-Our very own reality show.
-We did it, T.

1324
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,080
[Sindi] Can you believe it?

1325
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,120
Oh. I thought you'd be excited.

1326
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,040
Buhle… [clears throat]

1327
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,840
…I'm grateful, really, for what you did
to make this happen.

1328
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:22,359
However, that's enough.

1329
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:23,680
-What are you saying, T?
-Thoko?

1330
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:25,000
This relationship.

1331
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,279
I don't know
if you've ever felt anything, Sindi,

1332
01:08:27,359 --> 01:08:28,479
or if you feel anything now,

1333
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,880
or if it's always just been
business for you, but I can't.

1334
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:34,240
-Thoko, just listen. Couldn't I just--
-I'm sick of pretending!

1335
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,800
T, didn't you say
you wanted a reality show?

1336
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,120
Yes, Buhle, I said I wanted
a reality show, but not this way.

1337
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,640
'Cause love is supposed to be
a real thing, not a gimmick.

1338
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:44,040
[groans]

1339
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:49,840
[sighs] Fuck.

1340
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,000
Fuck.

1341
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:56,160
Shit.

1342
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:10,960
[Buhle sighs] Well.

1343
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,960
-Back here again.
-[chuckles] Yeah.

1344
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,359
[sighs] No, seriously,
you're the bomb, Buhle.

1345
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:19,520
It's okay. What are friends for?

1346
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,560
Plus, anyway, as your manager,

1347
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,760
you know it wouldn't be a good look for me
if you were homeless.

1348
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:28,439
-Oh, well, now, we couldn't do that.
-No.

1349
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:30,399
[chuckles] No, seriously though.

1350
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,560
I know how hard you worked for me
for the reality show.

1351
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:35,200
I'm so sorry.

1352
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:38,399
You have to just follow, uh,
what's right for you, you know?

1353
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:40,560
And I can't be mad at that.

1354
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,240
And also now we've spent
a lot of money on this book, T.

1355
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,840
-You have to start earning.
-I agree.

1356
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:46,920
Yeah.

1357
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:48,880
So, what do you think?

1358
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,600
Well, Ma asked if you would be the MC
at the wedding for Sizwe.

1359
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:55,800
-Mmm.
-Look, it's not a reality show,

1360
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,160
but the media's gonna be there.

1361
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,920
-PR anyway. Can leverage it. We got it.
-[sighs]

1362
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,000
No, I hear you.

1363
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,440
But knowing your mother,
she'll make me wear a tiara.

1364
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:04,720
Of course.

1365
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:05,800
One hundred percent.

1366
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,120
-Hey, T, listen.
-Yeah.

1367
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,000
-It'll all work out.
-No, thank you.

1368
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:11,960
-So we'll find a way.
-Thank you.

1369
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:13,720
[Thoko groans]

1370

♪ What a love, what a love, yeah ♪

1374
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:42,480

01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:46,960
I'm grateful to you for this moment.

1376
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,080
I'm grateful to you. You're a gem.

[Lethu]
Okay, so, mmm, we have a little problem.

1380
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,440
One of our band members is running
a little bit late.

1381
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,920
However, we were able to get
a replacement in a rush.

1382
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,080
He's on the way.

1383
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,200
There will be many important people here.

1384
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,640
-[Lethu] Yeah.
-So don't embarrass me.

1385
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:12,480
That won't happen.

1386
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,240
[sighs] Well then, Ms. Best Man?

1387
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:17,320
-Yeah.
-[Lethu] Are you good?

1388
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:19,800
Yeah, yeah. No need to stress here.
The rings are with me.

1389
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,160
-And, um…
-Okay.

1390
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,080
…let me find him. I'll be back in two.

1391
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:24,360
-All right.
-You're doing good.

1392
01:11:24,440 --> 01:11:26,280
You too. Yeah. Thank you so much.

1393
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,480
[chuckles, breathes deeply] Whew.

1394
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,080
-Hey, Lethu. Hi.
-Thoko. Thoko.

1395
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,560
-All right?
-Hi, hi. I'm okay. How are you?

1396
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,640
I'm happy you made it on time.
[clears throat]

1397
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:37,400
-Right. Here's the program.
-Okay.

1398
01:11:37,480 --> 01:11:39,440
So, we'll call you ten minutes
before you're needed.

1399
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:41,080
Copy. No problem.

1400
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:42,560
I'm going to sit in the car, okay?

1401
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,040
-Okay.
-Practicing all these names.

1402
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:45,960
-[laughs] You'll be fine, relax.
-[chuckles]

1403
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:47,960
-I'm sure of it. [breathes deeply]
-[Thoko] Okay.

1404
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:49,160
[sighing] Okay.

1405
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:04,520
Nana?

1406
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:05,600
[Nana] Hmm?

1407
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,720
Oh. [chuckling]

1408
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:10,880
[chuckles] Hi.

1409
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:12,960
Hello, Thoko.

1410
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,600
Um, I didn't think you knew…
knew the Jamas.

1411
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,520
Oh, no, uh, I don't know them. I, uh…

1412
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:21,960
I only brought Zweli.

1413
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:23,880
Oh.

1414
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:27,360
[sighs] It is good to see you.

1415
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,280
[sighs] Um, I… I have to go. Excuse me.

1416
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,280
I can't stop thinking, Nana.

1417
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:37,800
I can't stop thinking about you.

1418
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,480
I'm sorry for the way I treated you.

1419
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,480
The truth is, me and Sindi
were never really a thing

1420
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,560
when you and I were… working.

1421
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,880
-That's none of my business though.
-It was for publicity.

1422
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,920
It worked for the brands
for the both of us, but now…

1423
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,400
even that's not going on now.

1424
01:12:59,480 --> 01:13:01,400
It's been over for weeks, completely.

1425
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:04,760
Why are you telling me this?

1426
01:13:05,440 --> 01:13:06,760
Um… [clears throat]

1427
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:09,960
Well?

1428
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:11,280
[exhales]

1429
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:15,880
I think you and I might…
We should give us a chance.

1430
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,200
[laughs]

1431
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:18,880
You and me?

1432
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:20,040
[giggles] No.

1433
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:21,120
Thoko, no.

1434
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:22,400
Uh-uh. No.

1435
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:27,040
So, since you're now done using Sindi,
now you want to play with me?

1436
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,400
-Nah. N-Nana, no.
-No. [sighs]

1437
01:13:29,480 --> 01:13:31,400
Thoko, you made your choice now.

1438
01:13:31,480 --> 01:13:33,640
Back when I was the awkward--

1439
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,440
That is… That's not fair. It's not fair.

1440
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:41,040
But now that you know that I'm…
you see, I'm Liana Ndlovu…

1441
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:45,080
[stammers] …an award-winning romance
novelist, you want to give us a try?

1442
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:46,440
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

1443
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,120
This has nothing to do with Liana.

1444
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,200
[sighs]

1445
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:52,760
I'm not playing games.

1446
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:56,160
That's hard to believe.

1447
01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:04,320
[sighs] Nana, was it Liana I ran into
at Black Books, in the bathroom?

1448
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:09,440
Was it Liana who I spent
all those hours talking peacefully to?

1449
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,320
Was it Liana who I sang karaoke with?

1450
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:18,040
It most certainly was not Liana who showed
me a different side to love and closeness.

1451
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:26,400
Thoko, you had the chance
to tell me all of this before, you know.

1452
01:14:26,480 --> 01:14:28,760
I know. I was stupid.

1453
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:31,160
[sighs]

1454
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,400
Nana, I'm used to getting what I want.

1455
01:14:34,480 --> 01:14:36,240
I'm also used to people wanting me too.

1456
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,640
I couldn't bring myself to take the risk
to tell you how I felt for you,

1457
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:41,120
only for me to lose again.

1458
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,480
But do you know
what's even worse, you know?

1459
01:14:50,440 --> 01:14:55,600
It's lying in bed, hour for hour,
pondering "what if" at home alone.

1460
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,240
Nana, I don't want to be
what people think I should be anymore.

1461
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,000
I don't want to be a pageant queen.
I don't want to be a reality star.

1462
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:05,640
Honestly, that all means nothing

1463
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,720
if I'm going to miss my chance
at love with you.

1464
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:09,000
I can't bear it.

1465
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:33,000
Okay, why didn't you just say that
from the very start?

1466
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,800
Nana, could you please do me the honor

1467
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:40,840
of being my partner today?

1468
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,680
[chuckles] I think you want my soul.
What else do you want from me?

1469
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:47,800
I mean, first you wanted me
to be your coauthor.

1470
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:49,640
Meanwhile, you have feelings for me.

1471
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,320
Now you want me to join you
at a wedding of people I don't know.

1472
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:58,600
Don't leave me, okay?

1473
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:00,880
Promise.

1474
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:04,240
-["Suited" playing]
-Come.

1475
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:09,960
-My keys. [stammering] My--
-Goodness, Nana. [sighs]

1476
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:12,000
We're hanging with the Jamas.

1477
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,400
No one is going to steal your car. Okay?

1478
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:16,960
-Are you sure?
-Yes. Give me your hand.

1479
01:16:19,440 --> 01:16:21,480
Yoh. You know you are a handful, hey?

1480
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,800
-But you missed me, right?
-Oh, well…

1481
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:27,280
[both chuckling]

1482
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,000
[narrator]
Oh, my dear friends, dating stings.

1483
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:35,960
Just like the truth.

1484
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:38,120
Whether you love it or you hate it,

1485
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:40,400
we cannot live without it.

1486
01:16:40,480 --> 01:16:44,040
Guys, in fact, dating makes
the world go around.

1487
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:46,040
It's just that simple.

1488
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,000
Whether it gives or it takes,

1489
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,840
we all want to live to date another day.
