All language subtitles for Girlfriends s07e10 Ill Have a Blue Line Christmas

Lynn, you keep eating my Christmas
cookies, I'm going to slap you into a

night. Well, ho, ho, ho to you too,
heifer.

Mike, who put away these tree lights
last year?

That would be you.

You know what?

How about we put a nice ball of lights
right here in the front of the tree?

Here's my new Christmas list.

And, uh, I narrowed it down to my top
five things, right? You're going to have

to narrow that down five more.

I'm not getting nothing for Christmas.
No presents?

That only applies to the boy, right?

Listen, Jabari, we discussed this, okay?
This year, we're going to have a quiet

Christmas and give to the less
fortunate.

Woo! Then I'm good.

Sorry, Jabari.

Oh, who's that damn Salvation Army? Tell
them we already gave.

Sick of Christmas. Everybody got their
hand out.

Hi, Darnell.

And Maya.

Hi. I'm Donna Bazan, remember, from down
the street, traditions floor plan with

the blue trim.

How are you?

Here's a holiday free cake.

Anyway, on behalf of the cul -de -sac
council, I came to let you know that

you're a little late in putting up your
Christmas light.

What light?

Oh, holy night, surely you know.

What?

Well, this is Candy Cane Lane.

We've won best lights of Lancaster for
six years running.

Hate to lose lucky seven.

And three, two, one.

Met the guy.

Yeah. All right.

I'll meet him at the wedding.

Look, I just woke up. Can I call you
later?

Yeah, I love you, too.

I love you. Bye.

Is this Joan?

I'm sorry. I thought this was... Who's
this?

Aaron.

Hi, Aaron.

Waters. From New Orleans.

Oh.

Oh, my God. I didn't... I didn't think
you would call.

I told you I would.

I know. I just... I just didn't think
you would.

So, Aaron, how have you been?

Come on, Joan.

What is it?

We're waiting.

Okay. Here are the facts.

He called.

We're going to need a little more
backstory. Who is he?

Okay, Aaron.

The teacher that I met in New Orleans.

So he called. That's good news.

Why are we here?

Because Aaron and I talked for hours.

And although I appear calm, I have
actually projected myself into a nuptial

fantasy land. You guys, we had a dream
wedding.

We have a hybrid minivan.

And I'm pregnant with twins. Oh, God.
And we have a golden retriever named

Lordy my, that poor, unsuspecting fool
cleaned up after Hurricane Katrina to

come back to L .A. and get hit by a
worse disaster.

Okay, Joan, what happened to you being
all empowered and not getting all

desperate over some guy?

He called!

That's why I called you, so that you
guys could stop me from making a fool of

myself on my first date.

Joan, that's just it. It's just a date
with a man who's practically a stranger.

Reel in all that Coco craziness.

Take it one step at a time. Live in the
moment.

Okay, I'll try.

I will.

He's so sweet.

I'm so, and then, God, we would be so.

Okay, I'm going to reel it in. I see.

I'm reeling now, but I'm freaking, and
I'm reeling, and I'm freaking, and I'm

reeling, and I'm reeling, and I'm
freaking. You need to slap. I'm back.

Fabulous, Aaron.

Best Salvadoran restaurant in L .A. Mmm,
and these pupusa things, my God.

I mean, I've always seen a sign for
pupusa, but I've actually never stopped

eat a pupusa. And can I just say, did I
really like saying pupusa?

Pupusa! Pupusa!

So how did you find this place?

I ride the metro a lot. And sometimes I
get off, walk around, explore new

neighborhoods.

I'd love to walk.

I found the cutest little cafe walking
in my neighborhood, but now that I've

found it, I would drive there.

Well, maybe we can walk there together
some morning.

Oh.

Another date, huh?

I guess this is going kind of well.

Look, Joan, can I lay my cards on the
table?

Okay.

I'm 38, and I'm not dating just to date.

I'm looking for something permanent.

Okay.

And you?

Um, well, I actually made a pact with
myself to stay in the moment.

Since you opened the door, let's see
what's inside.

Okay, well, come on in.

What do you want to know?

How's your relationship with your
mother? How do you vote, and how often

go to church?

Great. Depends. Every Sunday.

That falls on Easter and Christmas.

Okay, that's good.

All right, that moves you up to level
two.

Have you ever been married?

No.

Well, that kicks you up to level eight.

Bisexuality, baby's mama, sex addiction,
and are you willing to take an HIV

test?

Nope, nope, nope.

Sure.

Any other questions?

Thousands, actually, but only two
important ones. Do you like golden

And if so, would you ever name one Coco?

Lynn,

what are you still doing here?

I'm looking for my present.

By the way, where'd you put it?

Um, I haven't bought it yet.

Oh, great.

This new guy's got your priorities all
twisted.

Now I don't feel so bad about taking all
these scarves.

How was your date?

Oh, well, he likes me.

And I like him, and he wants to see me
again.

Something's got to be wrong.

Okay, why do you do that?

Always think that the universe wants
less for you. Because, Lynn, that's

what happens, okay? There I am,
comfortable, dating, and happy, and

other shoe dropped.

Well, maybe he doesn't have feet.

Stop projecting.

I mean, maybe it's the same.

Maybe it's different.

But you'll never know if you're so busy
trying to make a Mr. Wrong or Mr. Right.

You're right, Lynn. You know what? I'm
sorry. You must be sick to death of

having this conversation.

Not as sick as I'm going to be when we
have it again tomorrow.

I don't think any of this stuff is going
to work. I mean, all we have is this

black Santa, some old tinsel, and this
hip -hop nativity.

My, why are you tripping?

We don't need to keep up with the
Byzants.

Nobody told us we live on Candy Cane
Lane.

Don't know. We're the only black family
on this block.

So? So I don't want these white folk
thinking that we're all Bahamburg.

Look, if they don't see any lights,
they're going to think we're a nation of

Islam.

This is our house.

No one can tell us how to decorate our
house.

Ho, ho, ho, neighbors.

Ho, Donna.

Well, a couple of us were talking and we
couldn't help but notice that right in

the middle of Candy Cane Lane there is a
gaping black hole. No offense.

Look, about this whole life business
thing... No need to explain.

Everyone knows you've lost your job at
NASCAR and that things are probably a

little bit tight this holiday season.

So, all of us on the block have taken up
a little collection to light up your

house. Are you for real?

Oh, we keep it real on Candy Cane Lane.

We don't need your charity.

And the only reason we don't have our
lights up right now is because I'm

for some special order lights from
Vegas.

Oh. Here you go.

Yeah, that's right.

Vegas. I'm talking neon.

It's about to be Candy Cane Strip up in
here.

So why don't you go on home and lick on
that peppermint stick.

This blue line.

Sorry.

You know, I've always seen this on the
way to the airport, but I've never

actually been on it.

Where are we?

Long Beach.

Oh, I've never made it to Long Beach so
fast.

Or ever.

Can't wait to show you around.

Long Beach has the aquarium, the ocean
liner, funnel cakes.

Long Beach have a ladies room.

Well, um... You know what? I don't live
too far from the next stop.

You're welcome to use my place.

On the second date?

Come on!

proper for me to go to your place on a
second date.

Okay. You can use the gas station on the
corner.

I'll be able to strong wheel and some
wet wipes.

All right, bunk proper. Let's go to your
place.

Um, this is it.

This is my apartment.

Oh, it's so cozy.

Uh, the bathroom is right through that
door.

Lynn. Yeah?

I was right.

The other shoe dropped.

Where are you?

In the bathroom in his apartment, and
it's a... His apartment is like a

student. It's small and boxy.

It's furnished with stuff that you could
have left on the curb.

Hey, that's where I got my love seat.

And the whole blue line thing.

You know, at first I thought that was
romantic, but I actually think it's his

only form of transportation.

Joan, you just finished telling me what
a great guy he is, so just stop trying

to mess this up.

I'm not trying to mess anything up,
Lynn. I'm trying to explain to you that

didn't see a full -size refrigerator.

Look, Joan, if you don't want him, I'll
take him. Because I think they're broke,

but fun is sexy.

Not if you're trying to get married.

You're not getting married. You're on a
date. Which could lead to marriage.

Has it ever, Joan?

Good point.

I'm back.

Same time tomorrow? What makes you
think... Probably.

I'm kidding. I'm ready.

One thing about the small, boxy
apartment?

Thin walls.

You know, you don't have to ride all the
way home with me.

Try to make sure you get home safe.

You know, public transportation, all
full of pro folk.

Okay. See, we need two of these bad boys
right here.

Right outside the house.

Jabari. Yeah.

Go get me some icicle lights.

All right.

Oh, look,

I'm getting this. The ski and polo bed
will be perfect coming off the roof.

All we need are tree lights and
poinsettias.

He's funny.

Jabari, head over to Lumber, right? Talk
to the man. Ask him how much wood it's

going to take to build a six -foot
sleigh.

That'll put up a stop to the pizzazz.

Y 'all really spending a lot of money on
decorations and a brother can't even

get a PlayStation?

A brother got one more time to bring
that up.

Home Depot has everything.

Where do you think they're hiding to
blow up Santa on the cycle?

Oh, that's what I'm talking about right
there.

We could get like three or four of
these, put them in the driveway. I mean,

don't even trip because you can park
your car on the street.

Stop it.

This is crazy.

Ma, I don't want the Byzant or anybody
else thinking... Thinking what? That we

can't afford it?

Look, I don't want anybody thinking that
I can't take care of my family.

Especially not you.

Why would you think I think that?

Maya, when I quit my job at NASCAR, you
were the first one talking about...

Let's have a quiet Christmas this year.

No, no, no, let's not spend any money.

What's wrong with a swap meat turkey?
Okay, okay, okay, you're right. You're

right. Maybe, maybe I was a little
scared.

Was, Maya?

Okay, am.

You know, you know that I have issue
when there aren't two chefs coming in

regular.

I quit the job because we both agreed.

And I came home with some of that NASCAR
money.

So I can get my garage back, remember?

I know.

I know, I know, Darnell. And I believe
in you.

I want you to know that I believe in
you. And I know that you always take

of everyone that you love.

I just trip.

You know how I do.

All right.

Come here, girl.

I love you.

Hi.

No, please, please.

Don't close the door. Look, I just
really wanted to apologize in person.

Okay, look, I can't take back what I
said, but I could at least explain why I

said it.

Here goes.

I can be a little bougie. I admit that.
And I'm not proud of it, but I'm working

on it. And that's why I called my friend
from the bathroom.

So that she could talk some sense into
me.

Look, I don't judge people.

Well, I do.

But not by their possessions.

Well, not usually.

Oh, God.

I'm just a loud -mouthed idiot, and I'm
sorry.

Is that it?

Well, maybe.

Well, thanks. Good night.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hold up, hold up.

Look, I admitted that what I said was a
little janky, but come on, Aaron, you

basically led me there.

So it's my fault?

Aaron, you were the one that said that
you weren't dating just to date.

You said you wanted something permanent.
You opened the door.

Yo, Aaron.

What's up, Boogie?

Is it the woman you was talking about?

Goodbye, Boogie.

Yo, I ain't mad at you. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. I'm sure you're not. All right,

on. Come inside.

We got nosy neighbors.

Oh, oh, y 'all don't want that all
around the hall. Yeah, I know, Boogie.

bad.

I'm not a fool.

I know how this looks.

Maybe on some level, I brought you here
to see how you would react.

To test you.

It was unfair.

But come on.

A brother's best table is a TV tray.

Aaron, why is talking about money so
taboo?

I mean, my friend Tony married a man
without even knowing his financial

situation. And he destroyed their
relationship.

And not because he was broke.

It was because they never talked about
it.

Are you broke?

Oh, you want to talk about it?

Okay. All right. Okay, please.

Okay.

The real is, I'm doing really good right
now.

Huh?

My life hasn't always been like this.

It took me a while to get my act
together.

I don't like to wallow in my ghetto
upbringing, but Joan, navigating my way

that life was not easy.

I got caught up a time or two.

Look, I'm a good guy who got a late
start.

Should I have more? Yes.

But I don't.

But I'm working my ass off to catch up.

Right now, I'm saving for a house.

That's why my apartment looks like this.

I'm not going to waste my money to pimp
out this place.

Here's an idea, Aaron.

We... have already had the first date,
the first fight, the hard conversation.

So we're in pretty deep.

I think we should just keep seeing each
other.

Or not.

No, no. I hesitate because I was
wondering if I had enough to make dinner

two. Or do I need to drive to the store?
Oh, thank God you have a car.

milky, seven swans are swimming, six
geese are laying, five golden rings,

calling birds, three French hens, two
turtle dogs, and a car.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up.

Three, two, one.
