Sooner or later,we've got to work at it.

a white guy.
182
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,020
- You need to date whoever
willing to put up
183
00:07:01,090 --> 00:07:02,260
with your crazy ass.
184
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,120
- Just because I'm a firm
believer in safe sex
185
00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:06,290
does not make me crazy.
186
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,590
- Having dudes taking STD tests
and then bringing you
187
00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:10,300
the printed results
with the doctor's signature
188
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,200

is a little crazy.
189

- I don't see the problem.
- Of course you don't.
190
00:07:13,930 --> 00:07:16,500
And one day you'll wake up
and be 40 and realize
191
00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:18,040
you're still childless
and alone.
192
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:19,340
- Don't put that
into the universe.
193
00:07:19,410 --> 00:07:20,840
- Yeah, words have power.
194
00:07:20,910 --> 00:07:22,110
- I'm just trying to help.
195
00:07:22,170 --> 00:07:23,380
- Everybody doesn't want
your help, Marie.
196
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,650
- You need it.
- Actually, I don't.
197
00:07:25,750 --> 00:07:29,050
- Oh, so you don't need
somewhere to live?
198
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,350
- That's needing a favor.
That's different.
199
00:07:31,420 --> 00:07:32,590
- Well, if you want to
stay with me,
200
00:07:32,650 --> 00:07:34,520
you need to let me
help you get a job.
201
00:07:34,590 --> 00:07:37,020
- That's cool, but I don't want
some stressful 9:00 to 5:00
202
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:38,390
that's gonna take me away
from my writing.
203
00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:40,530
- My friend runs Ida B.'s
production company,
204
00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:42,760
and I heard she's still looking
for an assistant.
205
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:45,030
- I keep forgetting all you
black execs know each other.
206
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:46,530
- Yeah, 'cause there are
seven of us.
207
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,000
- I love Ida B.
She's a bad bitch.
208
00:07:49,070 --> 00:07:50,800
- Nah, I'm good on that.
209
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:53,170
- Hattie, you have been
out here for three years,
210
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,570
and what do you have
to show for it?
211
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,980
- Look, we are living in the
New Black Renaissance, okay?
212
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,450
I'm black and I'm gay.
213
00:08:00,510 --> 00:08:02,320
Hollywood should be
knocking down my door.
214
00:08:02,380 --> 00:08:04,350
- But while you are
striving for greatness,
215
00:08:04,420 --> 00:08:06,320
why not work for somebody
who has the career
216
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:07,450
you ultimately want?
217
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,060
- I don't want Ida B.'s career.
218
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,660
"My Bae" is an awful show.
219

- I like that
it's about black love.
222
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:18,900
- And I am just glad it exists.
223
00:08:18,970 --> 00:08:21,100
- Those are not good reasons
to like a show.
224
00:08:21,170 --> 00:08:22,500
- We need to support
black shit.
225
00:08:22,570 --> 00:08:24,340
- No, we should support
good shit
226
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,410
that just happens to be black.
227
00:08:26,470 --> 00:08:27,410

the interview,

you can't stay with me.

You know I don't like being on
Marie's bad side.

- Why does everything go back
to you being Jamaican?

- Because my mother
and all my aunties

it meant to be a lady.
470
