All language subtitles for Girlfriends s03e02 Getting Our Act Together.eng

I don't know why they call these want
ads.

I don't want any of these jobs.

Well, if you want William to let you
back in the house, you better want one

them.

You know, it's not so bad out here.

When it gets cold, I sleep in the hood
of his car.

Now I see why cats do it.

Okay, Lynn, before you end up back at my
house, what is the problem with the

jobs in this Sunday's paper?

Now we're stuck.

I mean, they're all 9 -5.

What's that about?

Note to self -change locks, don't leave
car in driveway.

Come on. Nobody ever died wishing they
had worked more.

Yeah, well, a lot of people died wishing
they had worked a little so they

wouldn't have to be buried in that box
they were living in.

Where are your shoes?

I don't know.

Well, you better get to know, and I
gotta get you to your daddy in 25

and we're 45 minutes away.

It's not my fault you cheated on Daddy.

Okay.

We're just gonna have to be a little
late, because we need to have a little

out.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Who told you that?

Big Mama.

And what else did Big Mama say?

That if you hit me, I'm supposed to call
child therapy.

He says you'll be damned if you get
custody.

No one is getting custody.

Your daddy and I, we're just, you know,
we're just going through a little

something right now.

You know, all grown -ups go through a
rough patch.

A try from the grandmama wouldn't know
that because she's never been able to

keep a man.

Why can't you just come home with me and
daddy?

Baby, that's what we're working on.

Okay? And in fact, your daddy and I
today are going to see the minister to

about that.

But right now, Mama needs you to be a
big boy and be patient with us, okay?

Okay.

I love you. I love you, too.

All right.

Now, where's your life?

You stop acting good to yell at me.

You all right?

Oh, fine.

You know, I wish I could explain it
better, but...

Hey, Jabari.

How you doing?

You know, I really know what you're
going through.

I mean, I was about your age when my
parents got divorced.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Talking divorce?

Sweetie, no one in here is getting a
divorce.

Okay, get up now, please.

Get up.

Who in the hell taught you how to
comfort a child?

Joan!

Joan!

Have you heard the scuttlebutt?

The partners feel they can no longer
compete without a minority partner.

Oh, Willie, I've heard that rumor ever
since I got here. I know, I know, me

But now it's been confirmed by the chief
parking valet from level one.

Harvey or Bob?

Harvey. Oh, God. Harvey? Oh, my God. Oh,
my God. That it's true. Get out of my

office. I got a little busy. You realize
this means it's just between you and

me? Oh, no.

Oh, damn. It's just you.

It's all about the black woman these
days.

First, Hallie wins the Oscar.

Then Susan Laurie Parks wins the
Pulitzer.

Venus and Serena kicking everybody's
butt.

William, that's absurd.

Oh, yeah?

Where's Colin Powell?

eclipsed by Condoleezza.

Everybody knows the black woman has
ridden her wave. The minority on deck is

Latino.

Oh, you're right.

You know, I love my mother, but damn her
for marrying my half -breed Cherokee

father instead of making eyes with
Senior Lopez.

William, I was just kidding, okay? I'm
sure the best man or woman will get the

job.

Perhaps, Joan, perhaps.

Something tells me.

We may have just lost the whole
enchilada.

Speak for yourself.

My great -grandmother's name was Arminda
Consuela Martinez.

Bye -bye, mijo.

Thank you

for coming, Darnell.

Revenis, come on, because I've got to
get back to work.

Well, I think this is what we need.

A safe place where we can really talk.

Why don't we save it until he gets here?

Brother and Sister Wilkes, you're on
time for the Lord.

I have to ask forgiveness for my
tardiness.

I had a small crisis with the choir.

Sister Rolanda threatened to walk over
to Faithful Central, which poses a

problem since she's the only true
baritone we have.

Now, it hurts my heart to see you here.

especially since I was the one who
married you.

But it also warms my heart that you
would seek out the Lord's advice in your

time of crisis.

So, Brother Darrell, tell me what's
going on.

I think you know. I mean, it's all over
the church. Oh, I'm not going to lie to

you.

It was a topic at a bake sale this week,
but...

Nevertheless, I'm a little vague on how
far this indiscretion went.

Yeah, me too.

Look, I told you it was just a kiss.

Oh, so I'm supposed to trust you now?
I'm telling you in front of God.

You also took your vows in front of God.
Look, people mess up, Darnell. They

confess and they're supposed to be
forgiven. See, but you didn't confess.

You got caught. All right, now.

Let me step in here.

You hurt brother down.

And you have a right to feel the
feelings that you're feeling.

But before we can move any further, you
have to ask yourself, can you forgive

Sister Maya?

We have a good God.

A forgiving God.

See, but I'm not God.

I'm a man. A man who God is testing.

See, I don't think God had anything to
do with Maya cheating.

you'll be surprised.

God tests everyone.

Even the messengers of his word.

Some of them over and over again.

And I can't pass all the tests.

Especially the pop quizzes.

What with these dresses getting cut
lower and tighter.

You know the devil is a sneaky
seamstress.

Well, now, I hope we started a dialogue
here.

And I will see you same time next week
and in church on Sunday.

Maya. Oh.

Daryl.

Okay, um, what was that, Daryl?

I don't know.

But at least now we know why Sister
Rolanda's trying to get over to Faithful

Central. Well, part of it may be because
her name is actually Yolanda.

You know... I

better be getting to work.

Me too.

So, um, I'll call you later, right?

Yeah. Would you mind calling my
supervisor and telling him that I'm on

Sure.

I got a job today.

Why are you just telling us this now?

I got fired.

Oh, you need to get a job in here
because I've been waiting on my drink

minutes. Barkeep.

Barkeep? What?

Y 'all know I love Gunsmoke?

Sorry about the wait. We're a little
short on help.

Are you hiring?

Because our friend Lynn here would make
a great bartender. I mean, she's got

like a million degrees. One in
psychology, which is good for listening.

One in anthropology.

Look, all I need is someone to mix
drinks and suck up to customers.

That's our Lynn.

Always mixing and sucking. Wait.

Didn't come out right. But she is your
gal.

Tell you what.

Come tomorrow night. I'll give you a
trial.

You can work for tips.

She'll be here. Thanks.

Joan, I don't know anything about mixing
drinks.

Of course you do. We drink all the time.

Honey, honey, I'll help you. My mother
was a functioning alcoholic. I can make

any drink in the book.

Hell, I can make drinks that aren't in
the book.

I used to knock my mama out with cough
syrup, vanilla extract, and an olive.

Oh, hey, girls.

Hey, girls. Where have you been?

And why didn't you come back to work?

Well, I did come back to work. Found out
you were down here at the bar and

thought, what the hell am I doing at
work?

Tomorrow, will you remind me to fire
you?

I'll remind you the next day. Might need
tomorrow off to move back home. What?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
That's the deal.

Are you and Darnell getting back
together?

Honey, we got back together.

Maya, did you put it on him? Honey, I
had to remind the boy what he was

Good for you, Maya. Good for you.
Because that separation was exhausting.

any help moving? I've got a late day
tomorrow. Well, no, you know, it's not

really a done deal. Yeah, but there is a
deal on the table. In fact, if memory

serves, there was a great deal on the
table, under the table, all over the

table.

Wait a minute.

Whose table?

Just keep your eye on the prize, Joan.

Mr. Sweetelson, you know me.

I shoot from the hip, play it straight.

I don't dilly -dally.

I'm an upfront guy, and I like to say
what's on my mind. For God's sake, Dent,

spit it out.

The men in my family don't live that
long.

Okay, Mr. Sweetelson, it's all over town
that the firm is looking for a new

minority partner, and I'm your man.

I think I've proven myself ready for
that position.

Look, Dent, if there were a position,
and I'm not saying that there is, at

point, you wouldn't be the man for the
job.

You've held your own, but frankly,
you're not ready to be a full partner

Oh, Mr.

Sweetelson, I appreciate your honesty.

Think you know me to be a man who
welcomes the truth, takes it square, or

it straight up?

A man who can take whatever's...

Dished out there. Look, if this has
anything to do with Joan being part

I can assure you right now, that is a
load of crap.

All right, let me back it up and make it
plain.

When we first hired you, you had an
edge. You were an angry, young, black

conservative. A Clarence Thomas in the
making, and I thought that was the bomb.

But then you got soft, you got
congenial, and apparently somewhat

Last thing this firm needs is another
congenial partner, and God knows we've

enough crazy ones.

But do you have enough Native Americans?

Have you known there were a number of
dents on the Trail of Tears? I don't

about that dent. All I care about is the
fire in your belly.

Well, in that case, I'll have the curry
tuna.

I know what you're thinking, a little
too congenial.

But I can assure you this kind of
tomfoolery stops right here.

I'm prepared to be the least congenial
son of a bitch you've ever seen.

Damn it, Lynch! Where's our food?

See what I'm saying? I'm your guy.

Baby, don't forget to carry the four.

Mama, it's a three.

Jabari, no, it's not.

Wait, hold on. Let me think.

Oh, okay. Yeah, it's a three.

So, what you gonna do?

And that's all I'm saying.

Daddy's better at math than you.

Well, I'm a better speller.

That's why I need both of you to help me
with my homework.

Well, sweetie, I have a feeling that
we're both gonna be helping you real

Why? Are you coming home?

Please.

Well, baby, I wanted it to be a
surprise, but...

Mommy thinks she'll be home by this
weekend.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Yeah, have I ever lied to you?

That's all that's up about Santa Claus.

He's not real.

Yes, he is. Who told you that?

Big Mama.

Okay, you know what? I'm about through
with your Big Mama. She says she's been

through with you.

Can I get... Can I get a mojito and a
chocotini?

No.

Excuse me?

No, because actually we're having a
special on white wine tonight.

In fact, it's free.

What is the wine?

White.

Fine. Two white wines.

Excellent choice.

Here you go.

Hey, how's it going?

Where the hell have you been? Paris?

Oh, don't hate. I'm here now, so what do
you need?

I need you to man the bar, because I
quit.

You can't always quit.

Yes, I can. I'm not good at this. I
don't like doing things I'm not good at.

Okay. So, what are you good at?

Sitting in a hot tub.

How hard is it to put some rum and coke
in a cup?

Okay, what's the name of that drink?

Rum and coke?

Okay, you can see.

That's all I need.

Something to break...

Anyway, Darnell, as I was saying, I am
training for the L .A. Marathon.

I'm doing pretty well, too. You know,
I'm right on target, and I think I'm up

about, like, one -tenth.

So what's that, like, 2 .6 miles? No.

God, no.

One -tenth of a mile, babe. I'm still in
the run -walk phase, you know what I

mean?

Anyway, whew, God, I worked up quite a
sweat.

Woo!

Oh, I better go hit the showers.

I know you two got a lot to talk about.
I'm really happy that you guys are

working it out.

Hi,

baby.

So you told her, too?

Told her what?

The same lie that you fed Jabari about
us getting back together.

Why'd you tell him that you were coming
back home, Maya? Why'd you get his hopes

all up?

Because darn our mind were up.

Look, Maya, you can screw up our lives.

But don't go screwing up Jabari's life.

Hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute, excuse me. What?

Okay, what about the other day, huh?
What was that all about?

I don't know.

Look, Maya, just because I hate you
right now doesn't mean that I don't

love you.

And shoot, I was just horny.

So you used me.

I don't remember being there alone.
Okay, you know what, Donald, please,

enlighten me.

What's going on between us?

I don't know.

We can't expect to be too far along. We
just started counseling.

I thought we decided counseling was a
joke. Well, then I guess we're back to

square one. Yeah, I guess we are.

Don't let me interrupt you too,
lovebird. I just want to whip myself up

power shake.

Woo!

$120 .36 minus $250 in free wine.

puts me at?

Over $100 in the hole and still sleeping
on my hood.

Hey, that's not fair.

You said if I get a job, I can move back
in. You never said anything about

making money.

All right, you can move back in.

But you better be glad you caught me on
my last congenial day.

From now on, you're looking at a lean,
mean, fighting machine.

A man who would step over his own
grandmother to get to the top.

Not his mother, though. Never that.

I just want to get inside so I can peen
something that flushes.

William!

Bar, you like your food?

I don't know what it is.

Well, just take two more bites and we'll
go, okay?

Really?

Um, remember another day when I said I'd
be coming back home?

Yeah.

happened right away so you lied again no
jabari i wouldn't i wouldn't say that i

lied i just you know i just got a little
ahead of myself derek said you guys are

gonna get divorced just like everybody
else's parents and i'm not special well

derek is wrong you are special jabari
you are very special to your daddy and

me and we love you more than anything in
this world

Jabari, look at me.

I'm sorry.

Okay, Mommy made a mistake.

And yes, I spoke too soon, but what I
can promise you is that I'm going to do

everything in my power to bring this
family back together.

So you're not going to cheat on Daddy
anymore?

No, Jabari.

I'm not.

Does that mean you got naked?

Oh, my God. No, no.

Oh, no, baby.

What?

Look.

Mommy became too friendly with the man.

And that hurt Daddy's feelings.

And the fact that I hurt both of you
hurt me.

I promise you, I will never do anything
stupid like that again.

Well, Dent, you were right.

Great hot tub, great view.

This is life.

So, is this getting me any closer to
that partnership?

Well, I don't know about partnerships,
but I do know that this glass is not

going to fill itself.

Oh, right, right.

Hey, man!

Huh? We need another round of drinks
over here.

Hey,

I'm kind of tired of the rum and coke.
Can you make anything else?

Uh, rum and Pepsi?

Uh, Roman's bright.

Roman, you who?
