All language subtitles for Meet the Adebanjos s02e12 The New Assistant

Guess what, Gladys?

I have just received this law brochure
from Oxford University.

Bayo, you are still going on about this
lawyer business.

When are you going to accept you are
just too old and not sharp enough to be

lawyer? I was too sharp for you to allow
me to become your wife.

Bayo, you mean husband, not wife.

Point proven.

Stop stressing me with all your grammar.

This is not for me.

This is for Shadi.

This is our future.

Shadi, a lawyer. Is that one even
interested in law?

All she's focused on at college is art
this, art that.

Look, all this art nonsense is just a
hobby. One of those fads.

You mean fad? Whatever.

Don't you see?

If Shadi gets a high -paying job, she
will be our future benefactor.

What about Toby?

Have you seen his grades?

That one will struggle to look after
himself, let alone us, with his peace

peace in, what's up, bruv.

Today is my retirement fund.

My princess.

Because of your success, I have a trick
for you this weekend.

Wow, you heard about it too, and you're
going to come as well?

Of course I'm going. We are all going.
And we are going to dress very well.

I already have my new Agbada with my
matching cap. We have to make a good

impression. Oh, that's right.

We have to stand out at the lawyer's
open day.

At what?

Law.

Shadi, will you stop talking about this
art business?

You are coming with me to the open day
for inspiring young lawyers.

But I don't want to do law.

Besides, my work has been shortlisted
for the art exhibition.

I am not asking you what you want to do.
I am telling you what you are going to

do. Your mother and I have decided that
your future is to become a lawyer.

And don't I get a say in this?

Did you get a say when you were born?

Did you get a say when I was changing
your nappies?

No.

Did you get a say when I was spending
money on you growing up?

No. Then she didn't say nothing. Shut
up.

Mum, please tell him how passionate I am
about this.

Your mother does not have to say
anything.

From the moment you were born, it was
your destiny.

I decided that you will become our right
honourable Judge Adebanjo.

That is your dream.

No, Dad.

That's your dream, not mine. My passion
is art. The only art you have to worry

about is the art of being obedient and
listening to your parents and preparing

for our journey to Oxford. I'm not going
to Oxford.

My piece has been selected to be shown
in the youth exhibition at the Royal

Festival Hall.

The Royal Festival Hall? It must be a
masterpiece.

Look, Gladys, will you stop encouraging
her?

You are coming with me to the open day
at the weekend. Listen to Mum.

They say I've got talent. They said it's
a masterpiece.

Let me show it to you and you'll forget
about all this law nonsense.

Is it Oxford?

No. Is it law?

No. Then do I care?

Are you ready?

Of course now. Hurry up.

Stop keeping us waiting.

Isn't it fantastic?

My teacher says I have a real chance of
winning.

Where is it?

Dad, art is about what the individual
sees.

And in this painting, I see the
emptiness and deprivation of life. And

dots here represent the hope of the
future.

All I see are two tiny dots and a wasted
page.

When are you going to finish it? She's
not going to finish it. Finish?

It is finished.

This is abstract art.

Okay, I see what has been happening.
Some useless teacher at your school has

been brainwashing your mind, making you
think that this useless thing is a

masterpiece.

Don't worry. I will write a letter of
complaint on our journey to Oxford.

I'm going to the exhibition.

Shadi? I'm sick and tired of being
treated like a little kid.

It's my life. And I don't want to do
stupid law. I want to do art. And no

going to stop me.

Shadi, you are not going to no art
exhibition.

Wait, wait. Shadi, come back here.
Shadi, oh.

You paid that much for three coolers of
moin moin?

Of course now.

It should... It should be on time.

Tony, Tony, looking sharp.

Looking handsome.

Fine boy, no pimple.

I don't feel like it, Funke.

I've just been to the doctor about my
sleepwalking problem.

Only good thing is I'm losing weight.
Even when you are awake, you don't lose

weight. So how can you lose weight when
you are asleep?

Funke, I'm too tired for your wisecracks
today.

That is good, because I have a favour.
No.

You haven't even heard of the favour or
not? Well, it'll either be, can I have

some more money, or can I have a day
off, or can I use the cafe for my side

catering business? So the answer is no.

Tony, you're very smart, as well as
handsome.

That's true, but the answer is still...
Oh, please, I've got this big moin moin

business. I need to use the cafe.

Can't you cook it at home?

Look, after the last gas bill, Bayo has
banned me from using the cooker. Oh, so

you want to use up my gas bill instead?

No.

Okay, take a guess. The answer is no.

Go to bed.

Azim, there's a big problem.

A big problem.

I cannot... You are going to pay double
for it.

It's your fault.

I'm spoiling her and always letting her
have her way.

And now you're surprised when she talks
back at you?

So now you're blaming me?

Are you not the one who says, Bayo,
don't beat them too hard before they

the police on us? See now, she's acting
like a hooligan.

It's your fault. No, it's your fault.

Yo, Mr.

Ibanjo.

You look stressed, man. I can see the
grey hairs popping out and everything.

Yeah, Dad, what's going on? I was
hearing all the shouting from up there.

Toby, your sister has decided to grow
wings?

To be rude to me and your mother before
she's thumbed out.

Oh, no. Not goody -goody Sade.

Oh, Daddy's little pet.

You see, everyone knows it's your fault.

Gladys, pat down. Today, today, I'm
going to show her who is boss. Toby, go

clean that koboko for me and prepare it
for her.

Yes. I mean, gladly.

I can't wait to see her get beaten after
all the time she laughed at me when I

was disciplined.

Mr. Eddie Banjo.

Being a gentleman that I am, I cannot
let you discipline my woman like that.

Who's woman are you talking about?

I mean Sade.

My friend, keep talking. You two, you'll
find the same Pepe. And you two, if you

don't find her, move. Sorry. Kev, forget
all that Romeo stuff, man.

Let's go prepare the kaboko.

And after you have done that, drag her
back to this house. She will never again

talk to me like that.

What are you standing there for?

Oh, my God.

We finally found you.

We've been looking all over Peckham for
you, my beautiful, amazing African

princess.

Guys, I'm not a baby. I can look after
myself.

Why are you looking for me?

Charlie, this is like World War III at
home.

I've never seen Dad so angry. He was so
wound up. I saw the veins popping out of

his head. He was so vexed, man. He said
if we didn't get you home within the

hour, we were going to get the kabocha.

All I did was tell him that. I didn't
want to do stupid law and I want to do

art.

What's wrong with that?

I mean, I like a girl who can paint.

You can paint me anytime, girl.

Body all over.

In an African household, every parent's
dream is for you to either be

a lawyer, an accountant, a banker or a
doctor.

If you're looking to do anything else,
they'll seriously consider disowning

Well, if the parents don't want to, I'll
have you any day.

Oh, Kevin.

All I want is mum and dad to accept me
for being me.

Well, first you're going to accept the
beatings you're going to get for leaving

the house.

You're really enjoying this, aren't you?
Of course.

You haven't gotten beats in two years.

I get them every two weeks. You best
believe I'm getting popcorn and

every moment of this.

I'll just go back home and pretend I was
upstairs all along.

Who I found hiding away at the cafe.

You snitch.

So, Queen Shade, you have decided to
return and grace us with your presence.

Mum, I'm really sorry I was rude
earlier. I just really wanted to get my

across that you have to allow me to be
me.

Point across?

I mean, Shade, how can you be so unruly?

Anyway, it's not me you have to talk to.
It's your father.

Toby said he's really annoyed at me.

My dear, that is the biggest
understatement of the century.

He's just popped out to get his paper,
but when he returns, you are in serious

soup.

Dad,

I'm really sorry. I was... Silence.

Shadi, you are going to the art
exhibition.

What?

Shadi.

Why didn't you tell me that there are
people who go to this exhibition who can

buy the work?

Look, I just read in this newspaper that
a piece sold last year for over 50 ,000

pounds. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. And this year, abstract art is
the new trend.

And there will be people coming from
everywhere to look for abstract painting

this year's exhibition.

My princess, you have hit upon a
jackpot.

You've been drinking. I thought you said
you were going to discipline her.

Yeah, Dad. I've been waiting for this
moment for two years now.

Discipline my princess?

No, no, no, no, no, no. Daddy, don't you
see?

This small painting is worth a fortune
for me.

I mean the whole family.

So you want me to go now?

Of course I want you to go, Shadi.

And you're not going to punish me for
being rude earlier?

Ah, Shadi, I must forgive and forget.

Can't you see potentially how much money
there is?

So this is about the money and not about
my feelings?

Your feelings, my dear? Just think about
feeling rich.

Either the koboko for being rude or the
exhibition. Your choice.

I think I'll take the exhibition.

And hopefully the money.

So, Bayo, what message are you giving to
our children?

Daddy, the message is, if you can
believe it, then you can achieve it.

And we shall achieve prosperity at the
exhibition.

Before we go on this historic trip, I
have a speech to make.

We are all gathered here to

celebrate the life of Shadi.

This young lady has persevered and she
has worked hard for the benefit of this

family. And through this, her so -called
abstract art, She is going to bring us

prosperity. And we hope that this
painting will bring us a lot of money.

I mean that a lot of critics will
respond very well to it.

And so I would therefore like to have a
toast.

Dad, you can't make a toast without
drinks.

Go to the kitchen and grab some Flemish.

Chop, chop.

Oh, yes, Toby.

Very good. That's right.

Everybody have a glass. Glad you do.

Toby, you only brought three glasses.

That's right.

I thought it was... Heave -ho!

Heave -ho!

This is for my Shadi.

No, no.

Shadi.

Shadi, don't worry.

Toby, this is your fault. Why were you
shaking the bottle? You should have been

careful when you were spraying it. Let's
not argue. What are we going to do

about it?

There's nothing we can do. It's ruined.

I've got some tissue. Don't worry. I
will... Dad,

you've made it worse.

No, no, no.

Shadi, think abstract.

Think abstract.

Before you had emptiness and hope. Now
you have fulfillment.

This is what you wanted all along, isn't
it? You never wanted me to go to the

exhibition. You've ruined my life.

Dad.

Huh? You've done it again.

Shut up.

Why did you come in with a shaking
bottle?

Shaking, shaking everywhere.

Are you shaking Stevens?

What are we going to do with the
painting?

Well, it's worthless now.

We have to just... Troy DeWitt.

Ah, silly alarm.

Funky?

Funko, you have disobeyed me for the
last time.

If it wasn't for the violent alarm in my
house, you'd have got away with this.

Our trust has been destroyed.

Tony, why would I steal from you?

What is even here that I can steal?

Look, I just wanted to fulfil my food
order. This is unacceptable.

This is insubordination. You've pushed
me too far and I've had enough.

Funko, you're fired.

Tony, Tony.

Why are you so hasty? You can't be
serious.

Yes, it's a difficult decision, but I've
had enough.

Of what?

You, Funke.

You. But Tony. No buts. Just get out.

Morning,

Dad.

Morning, dear.

went a bit crazy and shouted at you
yesterday.

Look, Shadi, do you think that I would
deliberately destroy your painting?

No, but you've been banging on and on
about this law thing. I thought it was

just one of your crazy shenanigans to
try and make me do law.

Look, Shadi, let me tell you the truth.

It's not that I keep banging on about
you doing law.

We just want a job for you which gives
you a stable future.

As we have seen now from last night's
incident, you can do art one minute,

is worth thousands.

The next minute, you are begging people
on the street to buy your art.

We don't want you to end up like that.

So you'll support me in anything as long
as it's stable and secure?

Of course, my dear.

You can follow your passion as long as
you work hard.

and you make your father a lot of money.

You know, the family a lot of money.

Thanks, Dad.

So, Shadi, now that you're not going to
do law, I have

arranged a visit next weekend to the
medical department at King's College,

London. Dad!

That's my girl.

Let's watch the news.

News for London.

A painting found on a rubbish dump in
the back streets of Peckham has created

quite a stir amongst the art critics...
Oh, my God! That's my painting!

How did it end up in a dumpster?

Um... But look!

Oh, my gosh! It's raised £10 ,000 for
charity!

Oh, my God! I think I'm going to
paint...

£10 ,000 has slipped through my fingers
again.

But, Dad, it's for charity.

Charity call, charity need. £10 ,000.

Stalin. Yeah.

Typical Dad.

Funke, what are you doing here?

Funke?

Funke? What are you doing here? You're
fired, remember?

Fired?

What are you talking about?

Me? Fired?

I caught you in here last night and
fired you.

Huh?

You caught me in here last night?

You must have been dreaming.

I was with the family at Sade's
exhibition.

No, it was definitely you. You were in
here, you were cooking, and I fired you

on the spot.

It was me.

What was I wearing?

You were dressed in black from head to
toe.

Me?

Dressed all in black?

Funke fabulous.

No colour. No style.

No way.

Not Funke.

I'm sure it's all this flip -walking
that has confused you.

I know I've had a problem with
sleepwalking, but I definitely caught

dead on ten o 'clock.

Ah, brother.

Oh, it was good to see you at the
exhibition.

No, it was good to see you at the
exhibition last night. Yes.

What a night.

Ah, brother.

Can you please tell Tony what time I was
there last night?

Tanish.

You see?

How could I have been in two places at
the same time?

Tony, you must have been dreaming.

Oh, my God.

Maybe you're right.

I told you, you take too many of those
tablets.

You need to go home and sleep and rest.

Go.

Yeah.

I think you're right.

You'll be OK looking after the cat?

Of course I will.

Where's my mui mui?

It's ready.

Your

mui

mui?
