1
00:00:02,384 --> 00:00:07,447
Here's to today's cancellation
due to Miss Hemlock
2
00:00:07,448 --> 00:00:10,551
- coming down with the flu.
- To her speedy recovery.
3
00:00:10,552 --> 00:00:12,654
Nice playing tennis
and having brunch with you.
4
00:00:12,655 --> 00:00:16,448
Mm. I must say, it's uncanny
how solid your backhand is.
5
00:00:17,103 --> 00:00:19,482
- You think I'm that good?
- A natural.
6
00:00:20,689 --> 00:00:23,219
But you're good at everything
you put your mind to.
7
00:00:24,034 --> 00:00:25,862
Okay, if this is just a recitation
8
00:00:25,863 --> 00:00:28,412
of all the things daughters
want to hear from their dads,
9
00:00:28,413 --> 00:00:29,551
don't let me stop you.
10
00:00:29,655 --> 00:00:30,827
- Mm.
- [chuckles]
11
00:00:30,828 --> 00:00:32,688
If I'd have known
I had a little girl out there,
12
00:00:32,689 --> 00:00:34,919
I'd have moved heaven and earth
to get to you.
13
00:00:35,551 --> 00:00:37,793
I would've been there through all of it.
14
00:00:37,896 --> 00:00:41,862
Your life, our lives,
would've been so different.
15
00:00:41,965 --> 00:00:43,931
You're here now, okay?
16
00:00:43,932 --> 00:00:45,654
And I know we just met and everything,
17
00:00:45,655 --> 00:00:47,827
but you're a big part of my life, too.
18
00:00:47,828 --> 00:00:49,516
And you've inspired me to do something
19
00:00:49,517 --> 00:00:51,551
that I think is really amazing.
20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
??
21
00:00:59,068 --> 00:01:00,118
[sighs]
22
00:01:00,206 --> 00:01:01,586
Took you long enough.
23
00:01:02,965 --> 00:01:05,724
This is a huge undertaking,
what you're proposing.
24
00:01:05,725 --> 00:01:07,550
Well, I get a feeling, if someone else
25
00:01:07,551 --> 00:01:11,689
made the suggestion,
you'd be on time and eager.
26
00:01:11,690 --> 00:01:13,412
If you think you'd get a better reception
27
00:01:13,413 --> 00:01:14,619
from a different attorney...
28
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:17,413
Oh, no. I'll get the same reaction.
29
00:01:17,414 --> 00:01:19,067
Okay, baby, while you're helping me,
30
00:01:19,068 --> 00:01:21,413
will you take this to table three?
31
00:01:21,517 --> 00:01:24,068
To Naomi? Don't you want to say hi?
32
00:01:24,172 --> 00:01:26,241
It's the other one I'm avoiding.
33
00:01:26,344 --> 00:01:28,689
Don't look. She'll turn us to stone.
34
00:01:28,793 --> 00:01:32,448
Leslie's gonna turn our dream
into a reality. I hope.
35
00:01:32,551 --> 00:01:36,206
There's no such thing as
a free lunch or a free clinic.
36
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:38,586
Naomi's a good lawyer, okay?
37
00:01:38,689 --> 00:01:40,724
She'll make sure everything's legit.
38
00:01:46,827 --> 00:01:49,172
Let us know if you need anything else.
39
00:01:49,275 --> 00:01:50,775
[chuckles] Thanks, Samantha.
40
00:01:53,551 --> 00:01:56,551
After Eva told me how important
the clinic would be
41
00:01:56,552 --> 00:01:57,895
and given the implications
42
00:01:57,896 --> 00:02:00,068
of not having access to health care...
43
00:02:00,172 --> 00:02:02,068
And you wanted to get involved.
44
00:02:02,172 --> 00:02:05,482
I do have a heart, despite the rumors.
45
00:02:05,586 --> 00:02:07,689
And you're concerned about working
46
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,896
with someone as problematic as I am.
47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,137
That's a polite way of saying it.
48
00:02:12,241 --> 00:02:14,379
Oh, you took the meeting anyway.
49
00:02:15,379 --> 00:02:17,931
People are complicated.
50
00:02:18,034 --> 00:02:19,241
Hmm.
51
00:02:19,242 --> 00:02:21,688
Well, here's something
to flip your wig, Nae-Nae,
52
00:02:21,689 --> 00:02:24,689
I do believe in giving back.
53
00:02:24,793 --> 00:02:28,172
I mean, if you can, then you should.
54
00:02:28,275 --> 00:02:30,793
Well, that's a wonderful way
to see the world.
55
00:02:30,896 --> 00:02:33,586
Oh. And now I can, big-time.
56
00:02:33,689 --> 00:02:35,551
And this is how I want to help.
57
00:02:36,758 --> 00:02:38,896
That's commendable, Leslie.
58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,758
I've always wanted to
59
00:02:41,862 --> 00:02:45,241
do charitable things and give back.
60
00:02:45,344 --> 00:02:48,551
I mean, and soon, those
who thought the worst of me
61
00:02:48,655 --> 00:02:51,172
will have to show me some 'spect.
62
00:02:51,173 --> 00:02:55,033
Well, whatever has put
that smile on your face
63
00:02:55,034 --> 00:02:56,137
and pep in your step
64
00:02:56,138 --> 00:02:58,550
needs to be bottled
and prescribed worldwide.
65
00:02:58,551 --> 00:03:01,448
Oh, you know there's something
about the holidays.
66
00:03:01,551 --> 00:03:03,793
Every moment is full of possibilities.
67
00:03:03,896 --> 00:03:05,827
Groups of people bursting into song.
68
00:03:05,931 --> 00:03:08,172
- [chuckles]
- Unexpected kindness.
69
00:03:08,275 --> 00:03:10,586
Perfect atmosphere for a real date.
70
00:03:11,413 --> 00:03:13,517
I'm free now. Let's do it.
71
00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:16,482
- Wait, today?
- Why not?
72
00:03:16,483 --> 00:03:18,481
Well, I haven't made any reservations.
73
00:03:18,482 --> 00:03:20,620
Are you saying that it is difficult
74
00:03:20,724 --> 00:03:22,896
to pivot under pressure, Doctor?
75
00:03:22,897 --> 00:03:25,102
You want a person
who can think on their feet,
76
00:03:25,103 --> 00:03:26,482
look no further.
77
00:03:26,586 --> 00:03:28,655
You will be properly wined and dined.
78
00:03:28,758 --> 00:03:30,482
Have no fear.
79
00:03:30,586 --> 00:03:33,344
And what unique experience
do you have in mind?
80
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:36,310
A picnic.
81
00:03:36,413 --> 00:03:38,931
In near freezing weather?
82
00:03:39,034 --> 00:03:41,684
Do I need to have you checked
for cognitive decline?
83
00:03:41,758 --> 00:03:43,379
I promised a picnic,
84
00:03:43,482 --> 00:03:47,655
and when Fitzgerald promises,
he delivers.
85
00:03:50,965 --> 00:03:53,000
??
86
00:04:21,689 --> 00:04:24,379
Visit from your Doughnut Bunny?
87
00:04:24,482 --> 00:04:27,482
- It's not a regular thing.
- Should be. I missed breakfast.
88
00:04:28,758 --> 00:04:30,498
Instead of filling your empty life
89
00:04:30,586 --> 00:04:34,310
with other people's doughnuts,
go to lunch, Chief.
90
00:04:35,517 --> 00:04:37,068
Learn from my mistake.
91
00:04:37,172 --> 00:04:38,586
Invite your wife.
92
00:04:38,689 --> 00:04:41,965
Yeah, I would, but she's
with two of our three kids.
93
00:04:42,068 --> 00:04:43,310
I'm on my own.
94
00:04:43,311 --> 00:04:46,309
IZAIAH: Here's to making it
through lunch.
95
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:48,413
The second Ma leaves, you order beers.
96
00:04:48,414 --> 00:04:49,688
You know how she worries.
97
00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:50,930
Especially since I got back to town
98
00:04:50,931 --> 00:04:52,371
where she can keep an eye on me.
99
00:04:52,372 --> 00:04:54,102
Yeah, she'd probably obsess
over us drinking
100
00:04:54,103 --> 00:04:55,303
before the sun goes down.
101
00:04:55,344 --> 00:04:56,758
Yeah, I love that about her,
102
00:04:56,759 --> 00:04:58,619
and the way she's constantly
checking her watch.
103
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,586
Hey, she's a 911 dispatcher.
104
00:05:00,587 --> 00:05:02,826
If she's not at her board
the second her shift starts...
105
00:05:02,827 --> 00:05:04,344
Yeah, I know. I know the drill.
106
00:05:04,448 --> 00:05:05,551
Not criticizing.
107
00:05:05,655 --> 00:05:06,862
Missed it.
108
00:05:06,965 --> 00:05:08,793
She missed you, too.
109
00:05:08,896 --> 00:05:11,275
And you did okay.
You weren't too much of a jerk.
110
00:05:11,379 --> 00:05:12,517
You noticed?
111
00:05:12,518 --> 00:05:14,274
I never mind spending time with Ma,
112
00:05:14,275 --> 00:05:16,315
but it's easier when it's at a restaurant.
113
00:05:16,344 --> 00:05:19,241
- Right?
- Yeah, this was a good move.
114
00:05:19,344 --> 00:05:21,241
Oh, really?
115
00:05:21,344 --> 00:05:23,344
Okay. So a meeting on neutral territory
116
00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:25,206
is what it takes to get you to chill.
117
00:05:25,310 --> 00:05:27,000
Uh-oh. Here we go.
118
00:05:27,001 --> 00:05:29,585
How about we push you higher
next time and invite Pops?
119
00:05:29,586 --> 00:05:31,413
Not happening, bruh.
120
00:05:31,517 --> 00:05:33,000
Hey, well, I had to ask.
121
00:05:33,001 --> 00:05:35,723
I'll never stop trying to bridge
the gap between you two.
122
00:05:35,724 --> 00:05:37,171
And you'll never hear a different answer.
123
00:05:37,172 --> 00:05:38,586
Yeah, okay, we'll see.
124
00:05:38,689 --> 00:05:40,379
[both chuckle]
125
00:05:45,382 --> 00:05:49,343
What's up with that kid?
Holding a grudge?
126
00:05:49,344 --> 00:05:50,827
Bad parenting.
127
00:05:50,931 --> 00:05:53,689
- Don't blame Darlene.
- I name names?
128
00:05:54,689 --> 00:05:56,206
You know, it took a village
129
00:05:56,207 --> 00:05:58,723
of high-ranking individuals
who owed me favors
130
00:05:58,724 --> 00:06:01,931
to keep Izaiah from
getting charged every time.
131
00:06:03,137 --> 00:06:05,758
No good deed goes unpunished,
my friend.
132
00:06:05,862 --> 00:06:07,896
Gave that boy a second chance.
133
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,206
Hell, fourth and fifth.
134
00:06:10,207 --> 00:06:12,447
I mean, some of those charges
disappeared, too.
135
00:06:12,448 --> 00:06:15,551
Yeah. And instead of him
wasting his life in prison,
136
00:06:15,655 --> 00:06:17,896
he actually got a life.
137
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,896
Friends, freedom.
138
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,206
What do I get?
139
00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:24,000
- Iced out?
- [scoffs] Worse.
140
00:06:24,103 --> 00:06:27,172
As far as he's concerned,
I don't even exist.
141
00:06:27,275 --> 00:06:29,482
Man. Nothing is
142
00:06:29,586 --> 00:06:31,586
good enough for him. It's unfixable.
143
00:06:31,689 --> 00:06:33,965
- But you got to try.
- Why?
144
00:06:34,068 --> 00:06:36,275
Because he's the only father we've got.
145
00:06:36,379 --> 00:06:38,620
Is he perfect? No. But are you?
146
00:06:38,621 --> 00:06:40,136
- Pretty damn close.
- Yeah, right.
147
00:06:40,137 --> 00:06:41,965
You screwed up a lot.
148
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:45,379
That guy? The one you're trying
to shut down and shut out,
149
00:06:45,482 --> 00:06:47,517
the one you're treating like the devil,
150
00:06:47,620 --> 00:06:49,827
has had your back
more than anybody knows.
151
00:06:49,828 --> 00:06:51,412
He stood up for your reckless behind
152
00:06:51,413 --> 00:06:54,655
every time you crossed the line,
and that was a lot.
153
00:06:54,656 --> 00:06:56,102
What he did was give you the opportunity
154
00:06:56,103 --> 00:06:57,903
to get out of here, leave this place,
155
00:06:57,931 --> 00:07:00,521
make something of yourself
and become a decent man.
156
00:07:01,448 --> 00:07:03,206
Are you proud of who you are?
157
00:07:03,310 --> 00:07:05,172
- Yeah.
- He gave you that.
158
00:07:05,275 --> 00:07:06,896
At least try to pay him back.
159
00:07:06,897 --> 00:07:09,861
- How?
- By brushing that chip off your shoulder
160
00:07:09,862 --> 00:07:12,632
and counting your blessings,
because he's one of them.
161
00:07:13,172 --> 00:07:16,275
They ever put you up
for sainthood, you got my vote.
162
00:07:16,276 --> 00:07:17,930
You a rotten punk, you know that?
163
00:07:17,931 --> 00:07:20,136
Hey, don't blame me 'cause you
got stuck being the peacemaker.
164
00:07:20,137 --> 00:07:21,827
Now, your pops put you up to that.
165
00:07:21,931 --> 00:07:23,413
He's your pops, too.
166
00:07:23,517 --> 00:07:24,793
That past is dead to me,
167
00:07:24,794 --> 00:07:26,240
but he acts like it went down yesterday.
168
00:07:26,241 --> 00:07:27,586
Just give him some time.
169
00:07:27,689 --> 00:07:30,275
Life's too short to chase
a hater's approval.
170
00:07:30,379 --> 00:07:32,482
Nobody hates you, Izaiah.
171
00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:36,172
If this is love, it's so
twisted, it feels nonexistent.
172
00:07:36,275 --> 00:07:39,000
Don't sweat it. I'm-a help you
fight that feeling.
173
00:07:39,001 --> 00:07:42,723
When Samantha came up
with her free clinic idea,
174
00:07:42,724 --> 00:07:44,464
I was one of the first calls she made.
175
00:07:44,482 --> 00:07:45,532
I heard.
176
00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:47,482
Well, Mom was excited.
177
00:07:47,586 --> 00:07:49,482
You know, she's working on funding it.
178
00:07:49,586 --> 00:07:51,551
And I was thinking
179
00:07:51,655 --> 00:07:54,206
maybe I want to be involved.
180
00:07:54,310 --> 00:07:56,931
And all your time and all your energy?
181
00:07:56,932 --> 00:07:58,274
I'm not worried about the clinic.
182
00:07:58,275 --> 00:07:59,654
I don't want you to wear yourself out.
183
00:07:59,655 --> 00:08:01,827
I want to help like you do.
184
00:08:01,828 --> 00:08:03,757
You work with charitable organizations,
185
00:08:03,758 --> 00:08:04,808
donating surgeries.
186
00:08:04,896 --> 00:08:06,517
Eva, I do that for me.
187
00:08:06,518 --> 00:08:07,930
And I know you don't want anybody
188
00:08:07,931 --> 00:08:10,068
- to make a big deal about it.
- Thank you.
189
00:08:11,482 --> 00:08:13,137
But maybe you need to be reminded
190
00:08:13,241 --> 00:08:14,862
that you are a good man.
191
00:08:16,448 --> 00:08:20,137
Oh, it's been a while since
somebody found me admirable.
192
00:08:20,241 --> 00:08:22,724
But I do like the idea of you
193
00:08:22,827 --> 00:08:24,517
working with Samantha.
194
00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:26,103
I want you to
195
00:08:26,206 --> 00:08:30,000
forge more bonds
with more of the family members.
196
00:08:30,103 --> 00:08:32,034
That's not exactly easy to do.
197
00:08:32,035 --> 00:08:35,274
What are you doing tomorrow night?
198
00:08:35,275 --> 00:08:37,000
You got some plans for us?
199
00:08:37,758 --> 00:08:39,517
Trimming of the tree at Martin's.
200
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,896
Maybe I should take a rain check.
201
00:08:43,862 --> 00:08:45,965
[sighs] Because of Kat.
202
00:08:45,966 --> 00:08:48,205
I've been trying really hard
to get on that girl's good side,
203
00:08:48,206 --> 00:08:49,886
but I don't think she has one for me.
204
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:51,448
What'd she do this time?
205
00:08:51,551 --> 00:08:54,206
Eavesdropping
and a huge misunderstanding.
206
00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:57,482
She thought I was trying to push
birth control on Samantha.
207
00:08:57,586 --> 00:08:59,344
It's a long story.
208
00:08:59,448 --> 00:09:00,551
[Ted sighs]
209
00:09:00,655 --> 00:09:03,655
Have you done,
I don't know, any research
210
00:09:03,758 --> 00:09:07,413
into what it would take
to start a free clinic?
211
00:09:07,414 --> 00:09:10,171
Well, I leave the big decisions
to the professionals,
212
00:09:10,172 --> 00:09:11,931
unless I have a better idea.
213
00:09:12,034 --> 00:09:14,241
Well, it's a huge undertaking.
214
00:09:14,344 --> 00:09:16,655
You'll need to form a steering committee,
215
00:09:16,758 --> 00:09:20,206
a-a group of community leaders
and medical professionals.
216
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:23,310
Ah, well, Ted can be my two-for-oner,
217
00:09:23,413 --> 00:09:25,448
medical and community.
218
00:09:26,724 --> 00:09:29,482
Then you'll need to establish
a legal structure.
219
00:09:29,586 --> 00:09:33,275
You'll need to obtain all
the proper licenses and permits.
220
00:09:33,379 --> 00:09:36,586
Ooh, sounds like a job for Super Lawyer.
221
00:09:36,689 --> 00:09:38,896
I love delegating. It's an art.
222
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,862
Learned it from your grandma.
223
00:09:40,965 --> 00:09:44,068
- I'll be sure to let her know.
- You do that.
224
00:09:44,172 --> 00:09:46,137
I couldn't help overhearing.
225
00:09:46,241 --> 00:09:48,931
Eavesdropping is a nasty habit,
young lady.
226
00:09:49,034 --> 00:09:51,241
Oh, I wasn't listening. I was just...
227
00:09:52,241 --> 00:09:54,068
Anyways, um...
228
00:09:54,172 --> 00:09:57,137
The clinic you were discussing,
229
00:09:57,241 --> 00:09:58,965
that was my idea.
230
00:09:59,068 --> 00:10:01,965
So, it means a lot
that Eva got you involved, too.
231
00:10:02,931 --> 00:10:05,517
Oh, bless her heart. [Chuckles]
232
00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:09,137
Well, you don't have to worry
about any of this anymore, okay?
233
00:10:09,241 --> 00:10:11,862
You can just run along, stay gone,
234
00:10:11,965 --> 00:10:13,758
and let the grown-ups just
235
00:10:13,862 --> 00:10:16,482
take care of all this important stuff, 'kay?
236
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,931
Oh, and, look, this coffee? [Chuckles]
237
00:10:22,034 --> 00:10:23,965
Make sure it's hot next time.
238
00:10:24,068 --> 00:10:25,551
Thank you.
239
00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:30,517
- Baby?
- It's okay.
240
00:10:31,758 --> 00:10:33,793
You were right. She is rude.
241
00:10:33,896 --> 00:10:36,310
Let's talk cost. How will you afford this?
242
00:10:36,413 --> 00:10:38,517
I have deep pockets.
243
00:10:38,620 --> 00:10:41,620
Your trust fund is not
a bottomless pit of resources,
244
00:10:41,621 --> 00:10:44,205
and if you're not careful, you
could find yourself in trouble.
245
00:10:44,206 --> 00:10:47,758
Are you trying to talk me
out of this brilliant idea?
246
00:10:48,551 --> 00:10:51,896
Look, opening a free clinic
is a well-meaning idea,
247
00:10:51,897 --> 00:10:53,550
but it comes with harsh realities
248
00:10:53,551 --> 00:10:54,827
that you need to consider.
249
00:10:54,828 --> 00:10:58,654
However, if you're not
open to other opinions...
250
00:10:58,655 --> 00:11:01,482
Ugh, fine, fine. I will hear
what you have to say.
251
00:11:01,483 --> 00:11:05,240
You should partner
with an established charity
252
00:11:05,241 --> 00:11:08,172
to share expenses and increase visibility.
253
00:11:08,275 --> 00:11:09,413
[laughs wryly]
254
00:11:09,517 --> 00:11:12,000
And let someone else have all the credit?
255
00:11:12,103 --> 00:11:15,000
[scoffs] Not a chance in hell.
256
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:20,826
When folks start opinionating
about other people's lives...
257
00:11:20,827 --> 00:11:21,877
Aw, give me a break.
258
00:11:21,878 --> 00:11:22,895
There's something in their own life
259
00:11:22,896 --> 00:11:23,999
they're trying to outrun.
260
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,758
Me and Naomi are doing a lot better.
261
00:11:25,862 --> 00:11:27,275
She's too good for you.
262
00:11:27,379 --> 00:11:30,379
- Well, thanks for the reminder.
- What are brothers for?
263
00:11:30,380 --> 00:11:32,274
Look, when things are broken,
you find someone
264
00:11:32,275 --> 00:11:34,620
with better tools to help with the repairs.
265
00:11:34,724 --> 00:11:36,827
Okay. Somebody's been "therapy-ized."
266
00:11:36,931 --> 00:11:38,827
Hey, I'm not shaming couples therapy.
267
00:11:38,828 --> 00:11:41,412
We communicate. It helps
to see each other differently.
268
00:11:41,413 --> 00:11:42,463
You should try it.
269
00:11:42,464 --> 00:11:43,999
Get points for every family member
270
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,619
- you steer your therapist's way?
- Yeah, whatever, man. It works.
271
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:48,999
[chuckles] Could you imagine
me and Pops in that room?
272
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,792
Opening old wounds, making new ones.
273
00:11:50,793 --> 00:11:52,689
In a controlled environment? Yes.
274
00:11:52,793 --> 00:11:54,965
Yo, the counselor asks his name.
275
00:11:55,068 --> 00:11:56,275
"Who wants to know?"
276
00:11:56,276 --> 00:11:57,861
- "Am I being interrogated?"
- [laughs]
277
00:11:57,862 --> 00:12:00,862
You expect that hard-nosed cop,
seen it all,
278
00:12:00,965 --> 00:12:03,379
to be vulnerable and share feelings?
279
00:12:03,482 --> 00:12:05,402
Man's locked up tighter than Fort Knox.
280
00:12:06,413 --> 00:12:08,241
One of a kind, huh?
281
00:12:08,242 --> 00:12:09,654
But this would all be simpler
282
00:12:09,655 --> 00:12:12,241
if you two weren't exactly alike.
283
00:12:14,034 --> 00:12:16,724
I know you want
to make a point that I belong,
284
00:12:16,725 --> 00:12:18,309
but you don't know what it's like.
285
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:20,275
Kat walks into a room, sees me?
286
00:12:21,275 --> 00:12:22,862
I've witnessed it.
287
00:12:22,965 --> 00:12:25,172
Her anger makes everything go silent,
288
00:12:25,275 --> 00:12:27,000
and I don't want to do that.
289
00:12:27,103 --> 00:12:29,172
It's a stab to my heart and...
290
00:12:29,275 --> 00:12:32,000
It hurts her. It hurts everyone.
291
00:12:32,724 --> 00:12:36,793
I'm sorry that a child I raised
can be so intolerant and hostile
292
00:12:36,896 --> 00:12:39,379
to a child I didn't get
the opportunity to love.
293
00:12:40,103 --> 00:12:41,655
She's afraid of me.
294
00:12:41,758 --> 00:12:43,896
She doesn't understand you.
295
00:12:43,897 --> 00:12:45,654
Either way, the holidays shouldn't be
296
00:12:45,655 --> 00:12:47,620
a crash course in getting along.
297
00:12:47,724 --> 00:12:49,862
Too many ways this thing could blow up.
298
00:12:50,931 --> 00:12:53,172
This is the time of year for miracles.
299
00:12:53,275 --> 00:12:56,206
All I'm asking is that
you take this leap with me.
300
00:12:56,207 --> 00:13:00,481
And would that miracle just be
happening with me and Kat?
301
00:13:00,482 --> 00:13:03,067
Or are you leaving some room
for something good to happen
302
00:13:03,068 --> 00:13:04,827
between you and Nicole?
303
00:13:04,931 --> 00:13:08,344
I want to decorate a tree
with my daughters.
304
00:13:08,448 --> 00:13:11,172
That's already asking... a bit much.
305
00:13:11,275 --> 00:13:12,482
Yeah.
306
00:13:12,586 --> 00:13:13,906
I don't want to overburden
307
00:13:13,965 --> 00:13:16,448
the force that makes miracles come true.
308
00:13:17,724 --> 00:13:20,241
But I do hope Nicole comes to the party.
309
00:13:20,344 --> 00:13:22,724
[laughing]
310
00:13:23,551 --> 00:13:25,896
Whew. Thanks for waiting.
311
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,896
Gave me time to put together
a playlist for our picnic.
312
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,517
- The stakes just got higher.
- Has to be phenomenal.
313
00:13:32,620 --> 00:13:35,206
You don't have
any of the usual picnic excuses,
314
00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:37,655
like too much sunshine
or too many insects.
315
00:13:37,758 --> 00:13:39,551
Challenge accepted.
316
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:41,619
Let me tie up loose ends,
then I'm all yours.
317
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:43,413
Ooh, looking forward to it.
318
00:13:48,413 --> 00:13:51,000
I don't think I've seen Dr. Fitzgerald
319
00:13:51,103 --> 00:13:53,655
smile as much as he does with you.
320
00:13:53,758 --> 00:13:57,241
That's a, uh, nice observation.
321
00:13:58,689 --> 00:14:01,379
Carlton hasn't mentioned WinterFest.
322
00:14:01,380 --> 00:14:03,930
Is it possible he didn't hear
that I went with Kial?
323
00:14:03,931 --> 00:14:05,448
Oh, he heard.
324
00:14:05,551 --> 00:14:08,206
Not from me, but that news
definitely got around.
325
00:14:09,206 --> 00:14:12,344
So, Carlton is playing it cool.
326
00:14:12,448 --> 00:14:13,931
Oh, you like that?
327
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,896
I hear what that smile
is saying. [Chuckles]
328
00:14:18,551 --> 00:14:21,241
Should I brace myself
for the flood of opinions
329
00:14:21,242 --> 00:14:23,309
after everyone finds out about this date
330
00:14:23,310 --> 00:14:25,275
on the heels of that date?
331
00:14:25,379 --> 00:14:28,344
Well, all anyone's gonna hear
from me is how nice it is
332
00:14:28,448 --> 00:14:30,000
to see you smile again.
333
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:34,655
So, let me get this straight.
334
00:14:34,758 --> 00:14:37,588
You are refusing to partner
on the free clinic project,
335
00:14:37,655 --> 00:14:40,965
fearing that a cosponsor
will steal the spotlight?
336
00:14:41,068 --> 00:14:43,344
More publicity for them.
337
00:14:43,345 --> 00:14:45,274
But you have no problem
taking the credit
338
00:14:45,275 --> 00:14:47,758
from the person
whose idea it was originally.
339
00:14:47,862 --> 00:14:50,724
Samantha, who saw a need
in the community,
340
00:14:50,827 --> 00:14:53,827
did her research
and set everything in motion.
341
00:14:53,931 --> 00:14:57,000
Write the check, take the bow.
342
00:14:57,103 --> 00:14:58,896
Look, without a business plan
343
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,275
and a reliable source of ongoing funding,
344
00:15:01,276 --> 00:15:03,343
you'll burn through your money
before you open,
345
00:15:03,344 --> 00:15:04,688
and leave everyone worse off
346
00:15:04,689 --> 00:15:07,159
than they were before
you stole this bright idea.
347
00:15:07,931 --> 00:15:11,586
You expect me to just partner
with your family's foundation?
348
00:15:11,689 --> 00:15:15,241
There's a universe of charities
you can choose from.
349
00:15:15,344 --> 00:15:17,137
Leslie, listen.
350
00:15:17,241 --> 00:15:20,586
You have a chance to do
something remarkable here.
351
00:15:20,689 --> 00:15:23,862
It'd be a shame if you let
your ego get in the way of that.
352
00:15:25,103 --> 00:15:27,379
If you'll excuse me,
I have another meeting.
353
00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:42,379
- Hi, Izaiah.
- Hey, Naomi.
354
00:15:42,482 --> 00:15:45,068
- Uh, y'all want to be alone?
- [laughs]
355
00:15:45,172 --> 00:15:48,103
- I just missed my husband.
- Tough morning?
356
00:15:48,206 --> 00:15:51,344
[sighs] Potential new client,
Leslie Thomas.
357
00:15:51,345 --> 00:15:53,688
JACOB: Wait, why does
she need a civil attorney
358
00:15:53,689 --> 00:15:56,033
when she ought to be facing
criminal charges?
359
00:15:56,034 --> 00:15:58,655
She wants to do the right thing,
believe it or not,
360
00:15:58,656 --> 00:16:00,585
even though it's for
all the wrong reasons.
361
00:16:00,586 --> 00:16:02,688
- Oh, there it is. I knew there was a hook.
- Mm-hmm.
362
00:16:02,689 --> 00:16:05,517
- Eva's mom?
- You met?
363
00:16:05,620 --> 00:16:07,793
??
364
00:16:10,482 --> 00:16:12,000
She gets around.
365
00:16:12,001 --> 00:16:14,895
Just because the parents are sketchy
366
00:16:14,896 --> 00:16:16,516
doesn't mean the kids ain't legit.
367
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:17,550
Look at you.
368
00:16:17,551 --> 00:16:19,586
- [scoffs]
- Excuse me.
369
00:16:21,827 --> 00:16:25,000
- Hey.
- I was gonna get you some flowers and a card,
370
00:16:25,103 --> 00:16:26,620
but it slipped my mind.
371
00:16:26,724 --> 00:16:28,965
- Fell by the wayside. [Laughs]
- Okay.
372
00:16:29,068 --> 00:16:31,758
You still got jokes
about me falling on the ice.
373
00:16:31,862 --> 00:16:33,310
Keeping you humble.
374
00:16:33,413 --> 00:16:35,827
- Thank you?
- Any time.
375
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:38,895
Speaking of, what's yours
looking like? For the holidays?
376
00:16:38,896 --> 00:16:40,551
Why do you want to know?
377
00:16:40,552 --> 00:16:43,033
I thought it might be fun
to get together, do something.
378
00:16:43,034 --> 00:16:45,758
Well, it's my first Christmas
with my new family,
379
00:16:45,862 --> 00:16:47,275
so I'm being flexible.
380
00:16:47,379 --> 00:16:50,206
- You?
- Same old miseries.
381
00:16:52,689 --> 00:16:54,758
Can you stomach some advice
382
00:16:54,862 --> 00:16:58,655
from someone who is used to
navigating rough waters?
383
00:16:58,758 --> 00:17:01,275
If I can't, I'll ignore it.
384
00:17:02,275 --> 00:17:05,034
You can stay stuck
on what could've been,
385
00:17:05,137 --> 00:17:08,655
or you can plant your feet right
here and grow something new.
386
00:17:09,413 --> 00:17:10,827
Heard this song somewhere.
387
00:17:10,931 --> 00:17:12,034
[chuckles softly]
388
00:17:12,137 --> 00:17:14,448
Bloom in the sunshine, Izaiah,
389
00:17:14,551 --> 00:17:16,793
or grieve what you're never gonna get.
390
00:17:18,551 --> 00:17:20,793
But I say bloom.
391
00:17:23,241 --> 00:17:25,862
Kid acts like he needs
a break for everything.
392
00:17:25,965 --> 00:17:27,827
Thankless.
393
00:17:27,931 --> 00:17:30,172
Some people are like that.
394
00:17:30,275 --> 00:17:32,724
It's like they need apologies
for everything.
395
00:17:32,827 --> 00:17:34,103
Like my wife.
396
00:17:34,206 --> 00:17:36,344
- You hand them over?
- Never.
397
00:17:36,448 --> 00:17:39,517
And here I am going through
a divorce. Get my drift?
398
00:17:40,241 --> 00:17:43,482
The meaning I'm gleaning is the suspect.
399
00:17:43,483 --> 00:17:45,274
You were actually flirting
with Leslie Thomas
400
00:17:45,275 --> 00:17:46,724
when I called you on it.
401
00:17:46,827 --> 00:17:50,344
Point is, sometimes,
you got to suck it up and
402
00:17:50,448 --> 00:17:53,206
- say you're sorry.
- Not applicable.
403
00:17:53,310 --> 00:17:55,655
- You love your son?
- I love all my children.
404
00:17:56,620 --> 00:17:58,965
Deep down, it's got to drive you crazy
405
00:17:59,068 --> 00:18:01,413
that Izaiah came back to town
406
00:18:01,517 --> 00:18:03,965
and still won't have
anything to do with you.
407
00:18:04,068 --> 00:18:07,034
So I'm supposed to apologize
for raising him right
408
00:18:07,137 --> 00:18:09,367
and having his back
every time he messed up?
409
00:18:09,931 --> 00:18:11,862
It's up to you.
410
00:18:11,965 --> 00:18:13,965
You got to decide if
411
00:18:14,068 --> 00:18:16,310
holding on your pride is worth it.
412
00:18:19,586 --> 00:18:22,068
- What do you think?
- Oh.
413
00:18:22,172 --> 00:18:24,965
I can see you put in some effort, uh,
414
00:18:25,068 --> 00:18:28,482
but here comes the deciding vote.
415
00:18:28,586 --> 00:18:32,413
- Is this abundance for us?
- Nothing less than the best.
416
00:18:32,517 --> 00:18:35,275
- An indoor Christmas picnic.
- [elevator bell dings]
417
00:18:35,276 --> 00:18:37,964
- I can't wait to see what's inside.
- We'll start a trend.
418
00:18:37,965 --> 00:18:40,482
Christmas carpet picnics
from coast to coast.
419
00:18:40,586 --> 00:18:43,137
- [chuckles]
- Late lunch, I see.
420
00:18:43,241 --> 00:18:44,413
CARLTON: Right?
421
00:18:44,517 --> 00:18:45,957
Yeah, don't freeze out there.
422
00:18:46,896 --> 00:18:48,344
Will I see you at Martin's?
423
00:18:48,448 --> 00:18:52,034
Um, I had already said yes
to the thing at Dani's, so...
424
00:18:52,137 --> 00:18:54,448
Got it. Good to know.
425
00:18:54,551 --> 00:18:55,965
- Bye.
- Bye.
426
00:19:05,103 --> 00:19:08,241
And the Image Award
for Best Performance
427
00:19:08,344 --> 00:19:10,758
goes to Dr. Ted.
428
00:19:10,862 --> 00:19:11,912
Hmm.
429
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,344
Yeah, I meant every word.
430
00:19:14,448 --> 00:19:15,689
Still got to sting.
431
00:19:15,793 --> 00:19:18,482
Especially after you brought a gift.
432
00:19:18,586 --> 00:19:22,448
This? No, this isn't for Nicole.
433
00:19:22,551 --> 00:19:25,482
This is for you.
434
00:19:25,586 --> 00:19:26,965
[chuckles softly]
435
00:19:35,586 --> 00:19:38,206
??
436
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:40,586
So, little bro.
437
00:19:40,689 --> 00:19:44,724
Eva, or as we like to call her,
the daughter of the accused.
438
00:19:44,827 --> 00:19:46,413
Are we our parents?
439
00:19:46,517 --> 00:19:48,034
Well, I'm a lawyer like my dad.
440
00:19:48,137 --> 00:19:50,547
Chelsea's a model like my mom.
Jacob's a cop like...
441
00:19:50,620 --> 00:19:51,931
The point I'm making is...
442
00:19:51,932 --> 00:19:54,205
But no matter how far
from the tree the apple falls,
443
00:19:54,206 --> 00:19:56,517
- it's still an apple.
- NAOMI: Mm-hmm.
444
00:19:56,620 --> 00:20:00,344
If I said Eva's been nagging me
about giving Pops a chance,
445
00:20:00,448 --> 00:20:01,931
that change your mind?
446
00:20:03,655 --> 00:20:05,689
[sighs] She's inescapable.
447
00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:10,481
If I had known the Dream Slayer
was gonna be here,
448
00:20:10,482 --> 00:20:12,310
we would've met somewhere else.
449
00:20:12,413 --> 00:20:15,206
Naomi? No clinic?
450
00:20:16,206 --> 00:20:20,586
She said I need to piggyback
on an established organization.
451
00:20:21,413 --> 00:20:23,275
Oh, well, what's wrong with that?
452
00:20:23,276 --> 00:20:25,205
Ain't no way the Duprees are gonna let
453
00:20:25,206 --> 00:20:27,965
the Leslie Thomas Outreach Project
454
00:20:28,068 --> 00:20:31,517
achieve the singular
appreciation it deserves.
455
00:20:31,620 --> 00:20:34,034
- You've named it?
- Damn skippy, I named it.
456
00:20:34,137 --> 00:20:36,310
Who else is more deserving, too?
457
00:20:36,413 --> 00:20:38,068
It sounds regal.
458
00:20:38,172 --> 00:20:41,344
Much better than what the vibe-y name
459
00:20:41,448 --> 00:20:43,068
that child would've given it.
460
00:20:43,172 --> 00:20:44,620
Samantha is my niece.
461
00:20:44,724 --> 00:20:47,551
Mm, your niece was
interrupting my meeting.
462
00:20:47,655 --> 00:20:49,482
Well, the clinic idea was hers.
463
00:20:49,586 --> 00:20:52,620
Yeah, and the money is all mine.
464
00:20:55,099 --> 00:20:59,792
After the way that Leslie
shut me down before,
465
00:20:59,793 --> 00:21:01,861
I'm realizing that I'm probably not gonna
466
00:21:01,862 --> 00:21:04,137
get to have anything to do with this clinic.
467
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,379
You'll always know it was your idea.
468
00:21:07,482 --> 00:21:08,965
And nobody else will.
469
00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:10,827
She's hogging all the credit.
470
00:21:10,931 --> 00:21:15,448
This whole free clinic thing,
it started right here with you.
471
00:21:15,449 --> 00:21:17,826
Did my research and worked
really hard so I could
472
00:21:17,827 --> 00:21:20,137
pitch it right, just like my pop said.
473
00:21:20,758 --> 00:21:22,793
And started dreaming about it.
474
00:21:23,620 --> 00:21:25,379
I can see it.
475
00:21:25,482 --> 00:21:28,137
You know, like, kids who never get
476
00:21:28,241 --> 00:21:30,379
checkups finally getting seen.
477
00:21:30,482 --> 00:21:34,137
No more ignoring stuff just
'cause their parents can't pay.
478
00:21:34,241 --> 00:21:37,655
Even if it's just a safe place
where someone listens.
479
00:21:37,758 --> 00:21:39,586
That alone could change a life.
480
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:44,068
And now I'm gonna be shut out of it.
481
00:21:44,172 --> 00:21:45,372
But that's okay, right?
482
00:21:45,448 --> 00:21:49,379
Because... helping people
is what's most important.
483
00:21:49,482 --> 00:21:51,344
Who cares if I don't have a voice in it?
484
00:21:51,448 --> 00:21:54,551
You should care,
'cause that's an awful feeling.
485
00:21:54,655 --> 00:21:56,344
Being voiceless.
486
00:21:56,448 --> 00:22:00,034
I know what that's like,
after all my time in the street.
487
00:22:00,137 --> 00:22:03,793
Makes you feel alone, like
nothing good will ever happen.
488
00:22:04,862 --> 00:22:06,551
But that changed for you.
489
00:22:06,655 --> 00:22:08,896
Naomi changed it.
490
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,862
She saw me, and it was like
491
00:22:10,965 --> 00:22:15,137
the light started shining on me after...
492
00:22:15,241 --> 00:22:17,724
I lost you and your brother.
493
00:22:17,827 --> 00:22:21,827
She saw who I had been
and who I could be.
494
00:22:22,517 --> 00:22:24,689
We need more people like her.
495
00:22:25,724 --> 00:22:28,034
You're like her.
496
00:22:28,137 --> 00:22:31,896
- You don't have to pretend.
- Shanice, it's for you.
497
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,586
Why?
498
00:22:33,689 --> 00:22:36,931
You are really out of practice.
Step one: Read the card.
499
00:22:37,034 --> 00:22:39,034
[stammers, chuckles]
500
00:22:41,931 --> 00:22:43,724
"Shanice."
501
00:22:43,827 --> 00:22:44,931
Mm-hmm.
502
00:22:45,034 --> 00:22:47,931
"When I saw this,
I knew it was made for you.
503
00:22:48,034 --> 00:22:50,310
Merry Christmas."
504
00:22:50,413 --> 00:22:51,793
Now I'm embarrassed.
505
00:22:51,794 --> 00:22:53,757
I was so busy acting like
I had the blueprint,
506
00:22:53,758 --> 00:22:55,517
I almost missed the blessing.
507
00:22:55,620 --> 00:22:56,931
Thank you.
508
00:22:57,034 --> 00:22:58,862
That happens after you open the gift.
509
00:22:58,965 --> 00:23:01,379
Oh. [Laughs]
510
00:23:02,482 --> 00:23:03,862
[sighs]
511
00:23:06,275 --> 00:23:09,068
Now, what kind of monster
are you, Dr. Richardson?
512
00:23:09,172 --> 00:23:11,482
? And heaven ?
513
00:23:11,586 --> 00:23:17,241
? And heaven and nature sing... ?
514
00:23:17,344 --> 00:23:18,724
CARLTON: What do you think?
515
00:23:18,725 --> 00:23:21,550
Does this look like
the Christmas carpet picnic
516
00:23:21,551 --> 00:23:22,724
of your dreams?
517
00:23:22,827 --> 00:23:26,448
Three hours ago,
I never imagined any of this.
518
00:23:27,517 --> 00:23:29,172
Here we are,
519
00:23:29,275 --> 00:23:32,103
doing things we've never done before.
520
00:23:32,206 --> 00:23:33,620
All new.
521
00:23:33,724 --> 00:23:35,965
And that is how I want it to be with us.
522
00:23:35,966 --> 00:23:37,792
Yes, we've known each other for years,
523
00:23:37,793 --> 00:23:40,689
in different iterations, true, but...
524
00:23:40,793 --> 00:23:43,563
I want us to be unlike anything
that's ever come before.
525
00:23:43,586 --> 00:23:45,724
Mm, seems like we're on the right track.
526
00:23:45,827 --> 00:23:47,758
I don't want who we've been
527
00:23:47,862 --> 00:23:50,310
to color what's happening
between us now.
528
00:23:50,413 --> 00:23:52,655
- Is that what's happening?
- Well, due to me.
529
00:23:52,758 --> 00:23:54,378
I've been too focused on our past
530
00:23:54,448 --> 00:23:57,965
while hoping that you'll make me
a part of your future.
531
00:24:00,137 --> 00:24:01,931
So what are you proposing?
532
00:24:02,655 --> 00:24:06,379
That we get to know each other,
all over again.
533
00:24:06,482 --> 00:24:08,310
For the first time.
534
00:24:10,517 --> 00:24:13,448
Well, I am dying to see
what is on the menu
535
00:24:13,551 --> 00:24:15,758
for our very first picnic.
536
00:24:16,724 --> 00:24:20,172
Caviar and assorted delicacies.
537
00:24:20,275 --> 00:24:23,379
Turkey sandwiches with stuffing
and cranberry relish
538
00:24:23,482 --> 00:24:25,172
on fresh-baked focaccia.
539
00:24:25,275 --> 00:24:26,724
Mmm. Yum.
540
00:24:26,827 --> 00:24:31,655
Coconut rum snowballs,
ginger-sesame brittle and
541
00:24:31,758 --> 00:24:34,172
the makings for campfire cones.
542
00:24:34,275 --> 00:24:35,448
What on earth?
543
00:24:35,551 --> 00:24:38,689
Sugar cones that you fill
with mini marshmallows,
544
00:24:38,793 --> 00:24:41,482
chocolate chips,
crushed candy cane pieces,
545
00:24:41,586 --> 00:24:43,724
caramel bits, you name it.
546
00:24:43,827 --> 00:24:45,793
This is incredible, Carlton.
547
00:24:45,896 --> 00:24:47,965
And of course,
548
00:24:48,068 --> 00:24:49,862
a bottle of wine.
549
00:24:49,965 --> 00:24:52,000
Look familiar?
550
00:24:52,103 --> 00:24:55,448
- I don't think so.
- Good, because from now on,
551
00:24:55,551 --> 00:24:56,965
it's our wine.
552
00:24:57,068 --> 00:24:59,586
I like it already. Corkscrew?
553
00:24:59,689 --> 00:25:01,448
I came prepared.
554
00:25:05,061 --> 00:25:07,964
Oh, how was lunch with your mom?
555
00:25:07,965 --> 00:25:09,586
Uh, the usual.
556
00:25:09,689 --> 00:25:11,172
Translation?
557
00:25:11,275 --> 00:25:13,517
She's a saint. Everything our pops ain't.
558
00:25:13,620 --> 00:25:14,896
Here we go.
559
00:25:14,897 --> 00:25:17,205
Couldn't have been easy
raising three young men.
560
00:25:17,206 --> 00:25:18,827
[chuckles]: Men? No.
561
00:25:18,828 --> 00:25:21,378
- Heroes and angels.
- And which one are you again?
562
00:25:21,379 --> 00:25:24,448
Best of both worlds, brother.
Heaping helpings of each.
563
00:25:24,449 --> 00:25:27,033
Now, young Jacob, though,
would deny his checkered past.
564
00:25:27,034 --> 00:25:28,654
Hey, don't get started with that.
565
00:25:28,724 --> 00:25:31,413
His... What did you say?
566
00:25:31,414 --> 00:25:33,654
Oh, you didn't tell her about
the murder of the succulents?
567
00:25:33,655 --> 00:25:37,241
- No.
- Oh, now I need to know everything.
568
00:25:37,344 --> 00:25:38,448
He's lying.
569
00:25:38,551 --> 00:25:39,620
You wish.
570
00:25:39,724 --> 00:25:42,172
My straitlaced rule-maker
571
00:25:42,275 --> 00:25:44,551
was a bad boy in these streets?
572
00:25:44,552 --> 00:25:46,378
So, Ma had this little area for succulents.
573
00:25:46,379 --> 00:25:47,861
- NAOMI: Mm-hmm.
- A forbidden zone in the yard.
574
00:25:47,862 --> 00:25:49,655
Supposed to be dry like the desert.
575
00:25:49,758 --> 00:25:51,862
- In my defense, I was a kid.
- IZAIAH: Shh.
576
00:25:51,863 --> 00:25:54,792
This boy right here filled
a bucket full of water balloons.
577
00:25:54,793 --> 00:25:57,383
Oh, please don't tell me
you did what I think you did.
578
00:25:57,413 --> 00:26:00,206
Piled 'em high and practiced
his pitch all afternoon.
579
00:26:00,310 --> 00:26:03,379
Oh, your mother's pure cacti.
580
00:26:03,482 --> 00:26:04,724
Drenched.
581
00:26:04,725 --> 00:26:06,723
- Took two weeks to dry out.
- What'd your mom do?
582
00:26:06,724 --> 00:26:08,378
Look, it wasn't the lecture
that hurt as much
583
00:26:08,379 --> 00:26:10,136
as the deafening silence afterwards.
584
00:26:10,137 --> 00:26:13,689
- Oh, poor baby Jacob.
- I learned a lot that day.
585
00:26:13,793 --> 00:26:16,323
Don't get on Ma's bad side,
don't water the cacti,
586
00:26:16,324 --> 00:26:17,930
and don't start no mess,
there won't be no mess.
587
00:26:17,931 --> 00:26:19,827
- [laughs]
- Valuable lessons.
588
00:26:19,931 --> 00:26:21,586
Too bad you're a slow learner.
589
00:26:21,689 --> 00:26:23,310
Hey, we're all works in progress.
590
00:26:23,311 --> 00:26:25,826
And if that golden child
can slip up a time or two,
591
00:26:25,827 --> 00:26:27,457
- there's hope for me.
- NAOMI: Mm.
592
00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:33,172
LTOP. L-T-O-P.
593
00:26:33,275 --> 00:26:37,965
The Leslie Thomas... Outreach Project.
594
00:26:38,068 --> 00:26:40,137
Yes. Mm-hmm.
595
00:26:40,241 --> 00:26:42,862
Makes a statement, sends a message.
596
00:26:42,965 --> 00:26:46,034
That you're interested
in helping the community
597
00:26:46,137 --> 00:26:48,758
or that you want people
to see you in a new light?
598
00:26:48,862 --> 00:26:51,068
- Why not both?
- [sighs]
599
00:26:51,069 --> 00:26:53,171
Okay, I thought at least
one parent would have
600
00:26:53,172 --> 00:26:54,827
their feet planted in reality.
601
00:26:54,931 --> 00:26:57,344
Oh, what's up with my Teddy?
602
00:26:58,103 --> 00:27:00,965
He invited me over Martin's
house to trim their tree.
603
00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:04,862
That sounds cozy.
604
00:27:04,965 --> 00:27:06,896
And if Kat shows up?
605
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,482
Yeah, save that drama for one of
those corny Christmas rom-come.
606
00:27:10,586 --> 00:27:13,551
Corny? Bite your tongue, girl.
607
00:27:13,655 --> 00:27:15,551
Mm. That is our thing.
608
00:27:15,655 --> 00:27:20,275
And don't you dare minimize
the watching of the rom-come.
609
00:27:20,379 --> 00:27:24,379
Feet up, blankets on, snacks and drinks.
610
00:27:24,482 --> 00:27:28,413
Nope, I will not have you scoff
at my favorite things.
611
00:27:28,517 --> 00:27:30,448
[both laugh]
612
00:27:30,551 --> 00:27:32,620
Well, we'll have less time this year.
613
00:27:32,724 --> 00:27:35,068
We have more people in our lives now.
614
00:27:35,172 --> 00:27:37,034
Oh, well, I think you need to find
615
00:27:37,137 --> 00:27:41,724
the time to experience
a career woman meeting a man
616
00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:46,724
who's new in town that
she just cannot live without.
617
00:27:48,068 --> 00:27:50,172
He runs the reindeer rescue?
618
00:27:50,275 --> 00:27:53,586
And you will never guess
who he really is.
619
00:27:53,689 --> 00:27:55,310
Oh! Don't spoil it.
620
00:27:55,413 --> 00:27:56,655
[both giggling]
621
00:27:56,758 --> 00:27:58,620
Okay, I knew you couldn't resist.
622
00:27:58,724 --> 00:28:00,448
I'll save a space on the sofa.
623
00:28:00,551 --> 00:28:02,586
Let's do holidays together.
624
00:28:02,587 --> 00:28:04,792
Everybody's coming over
to decorate the tree.
625
00:28:04,793 --> 00:28:06,793
Everybody who's family.
626
00:28:07,758 --> 00:28:09,379
You're family.
627
00:28:09,482 --> 00:28:12,620
Martin and Smitty just had me
over for Thanksgiving. I...
628
00:28:15,758 --> 00:28:18,655
We're in each other's lives again, okay?
629
00:28:18,758 --> 00:28:21,137
How could we do Christmas
without you?
630
00:28:23,724 --> 00:28:25,275
You'll find a way.
631
00:28:26,448 --> 00:28:29,793
You're not a stranger, okay?
632
00:28:29,896 --> 00:28:33,517
You're my mom,
and you have something
633
00:28:33,620 --> 00:28:35,689
a hundred Leslies could never.
634
00:28:36,793 --> 00:28:37,965
Look at her.
635
00:28:39,275 --> 00:28:41,758
You're such a good girl.
636
00:28:41,862 --> 00:28:43,344
Guess why.
637
00:28:44,586 --> 00:28:47,172
You. [Chuckles]
638
00:28:47,275 --> 00:28:50,655
And, uh, you also, you made me, um
639
00:28:50,758 --> 00:28:53,310
very stubborn as well. [Chuckles]
640
00:28:53,413 --> 00:28:55,448
??
641
00:28:58,793 --> 00:29:00,965
My Christmas list.
642
00:29:01,068 --> 00:29:02,965
[sighs, sniffles]
643
00:29:03,068 --> 00:29:05,482
Um, it just says "you."
644
00:29:05,586 --> 00:29:06,931
All I want.
645
00:29:07,034 --> 00:29:10,965
Help make ours the prettiest tree in D.C.
646
00:29:11,068 --> 00:29:13,827
Come on. That's-that's all?
647
00:29:15,034 --> 00:29:16,413
All I want.
648
00:29:18,172 --> 00:29:19,310
[clicks tongue]
649
00:29:19,311 --> 00:29:21,447
[voice breaking]:
Then I guess I'm going to be
650
00:29:21,448 --> 00:29:25,655
decorating a tree with my kids
for Christmas.
651
00:29:27,758 --> 00:29:29,689
Thanks, but no thanks.
652
00:29:29,793 --> 00:29:32,206
Did you see what it is?
653
00:29:32,310 --> 00:29:35,793
Bird feeder.
Says it right there on the box.
654
00:29:35,794 --> 00:29:37,757
Little twisted, considering I just told you
655
00:29:37,758 --> 00:29:39,517
about my bird phobia.
656
00:29:39,620 --> 00:29:41,413
This isn't a prank.
657
00:29:41,414 --> 00:29:43,343
Inviting birds to sit at the window of
658
00:29:43,344 --> 00:29:45,655
someone who fears them is a gift?
659
00:29:45,758 --> 00:29:48,862
Do you like cleaning up vomit, hmm?
660
00:29:48,965 --> 00:29:50,344
No.
661
00:29:50,448 --> 00:29:53,517
Listening to complaints
from doctors, patients, staff?
662
00:29:53,620 --> 00:29:55,655
No, not at all.
663
00:29:55,656 --> 00:29:57,654
But you get past it
'cause you're used to seeing
664
00:29:57,655 --> 00:29:59,655
tragic, awful sights all day,
665
00:29:59,656 --> 00:30:01,378
but when you're trapped inside all day,
666
00:30:01,379 --> 00:30:02,826
of course you're gonna get startled by
667
00:30:02,827 --> 00:30:05,241
the most beautiful creatures
on the planet.
668
00:30:05,344 --> 00:30:07,068
And a woman who's as curious
669
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,896
about her surroundings as you are...
670
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,103
Oh, is that a nice way
of calling me nosy?
671
00:30:12,206 --> 00:30:14,551
Look, this has a camera and an app
672
00:30:14,552 --> 00:30:16,516
so you can see
what birds are dropping by
673
00:30:16,517 --> 00:30:18,862
while you're working. Hmm?
674
00:30:18,965 --> 00:30:20,931
You don't say.
675
00:30:21,034 --> 00:30:23,014
Think of all the species you've missed,
676
00:30:23,034 --> 00:30:25,344
all the songs you've never heard.
677
00:30:26,827 --> 00:30:29,965
So you're not trying to get me killed?
678
00:30:29,966 --> 00:30:32,516
Your feathered friends
will be so busy enjoying
679
00:30:32,517 --> 00:30:34,758
their food source, they won't attack you.
680
00:30:34,862 --> 00:30:37,103
You'll be the food fairy.
681
00:30:37,206 --> 00:30:39,965
Well, I do kind of like the sound of that.
682
00:30:40,068 --> 00:30:42,931
Can't peck out the eyes of the food fairy.
683
00:30:43,034 --> 00:30:45,482
And if we get overrun by birds,
684
00:30:45,586 --> 00:30:48,241
your new bird feeder will be
the first to alert us.
685
00:30:48,344 --> 00:30:49,689
Hmm?
686
00:30:52,275 --> 00:30:55,620
Ooh, I can't. I can't.
It's... Um, it's just too scary.
687
00:30:55,724 --> 00:30:57,620
You're kidding, right?
688
00:30:57,724 --> 00:31:01,896
My sincerest apologies
to every feathered friend
689
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,413
out there.
690
00:31:03,517 --> 00:31:05,000
[chuckles]
691
00:31:05,103 --> 00:31:07,310
Best Christmas picnic ever.
692
00:31:07,311 --> 00:31:09,826
Are you just saying that
because it's your first?
693
00:31:09,827 --> 00:31:13,379
Fun conversation, good food,
phenomenal wine.
694
00:31:13,482 --> 00:31:16,482
I brought the feast.
What about that playlist?
695
00:31:16,483 --> 00:31:18,895
We've been listening to it
since our tomato skewer.
696
00:31:18,896 --> 00:31:21,551
[laughs] I've been having
so much fun talking.
697
00:31:21,655 --> 00:31:24,275
We are so far off my playlist.
698
00:31:24,379 --> 00:31:25,793
[laughing]
699
00:31:25,896 --> 00:31:27,931
[romantic R&B music playing]

00:31:28,034 --> 00:31:29,689
What is this?
701
00:31:29,793 --> 00:31:32,517
I have never heard it before.
702
00:31:32,620 --> 00:31:33,827
Good.
703
00:31:36,827 --> 00:31:37,931
It's our song now.
704
00:31:38,034 --> 00:31:40,137
? Love, love will never fall ?
705
00:31:40,241 --> 00:31:42,275
? It just feel like this ?
706
00:31:42,379 --> 00:31:45,586
? Almost guaranteed
by the way that it feel... ?
707
00:31:45,689 --> 00:31:47,137
[laughing]
708
00:31:47,241 --> 00:31:48,620
You ever seen this before?
709
00:31:48,724 --> 00:31:51,068
No, because you are making it up.
710
00:31:51,172 --> 00:31:52,758
[both laughing]
711
00:31:52,862 --> 00:31:54,448
? Love will never fall ?
712
00:31:54,551 --> 00:31:56,620
? It just feel like this ?
713
00:31:56,724 --> 00:32:00,413
? Almost guaranteed
by the way that it feel ?
714
00:32:00,517 --> 00:32:02,379
? And you know ?
715
00:32:02,482 --> 00:32:04,241
? I know ?
716
00:32:04,344 --> 00:32:06,068
? We know. ?
717
00:32:09,537 --> 00:32:11,619
[both chuckle]
718
00:32:11,620 --> 00:32:13,344
??
719
00:32:13,345 --> 00:32:15,723
We should get a hotel.
That worked well last time.
720
00:32:15,724 --> 00:32:19,379
Hmm. We could swing from
the chandelier at home for free.
721
00:32:19,482 --> 00:32:21,310
We don't have a chandelier.
722
00:32:21,413 --> 00:32:23,655
I'm sure you'll think of something.
723
00:32:23,758 --> 00:32:25,827
Okay. All right.
724
00:32:25,931 --> 00:32:27,741
- Let's get out of here.
- [chuckles]
725
00:32:29,379 --> 00:32:32,275
? This Christmas. ?
726
00:32:34,655 --> 00:32:36,137
[phone ringing]
727
00:32:36,241 --> 00:32:38,241
??
728
00:32:44,931 --> 00:32:46,482
You need something?
729
00:32:46,586 --> 00:32:49,517
- Had lunch with Ma.
- I heard.
730
00:32:49,620 --> 00:32:52,344
Might mean a lot to her
if I came by for Christmas.
731
00:32:52,448 --> 00:32:54,137
You making plans to?
732
00:32:54,241 --> 00:32:55,981
Thought you deserved some warning.
733
00:32:57,103 --> 00:32:59,862
So, set another place for dinner?
734
00:32:59,863 --> 00:33:01,516
Nah, I think I got dinner plans,
735
00:33:01,517 --> 00:33:04,448
but save me some of that eggnog,
if that's still a thing.
736
00:33:05,379 --> 00:33:06,448
Nothing's changed.
737
00:33:07,517 --> 00:33:08,655
I have.
738
00:33:09,689 --> 00:33:11,586
You better at keeping your word?
739
00:33:13,241 --> 00:33:15,206
[sighs] Working on it.
740
00:33:15,310 --> 00:33:17,620
Wouldn't want to let
your mother down, is all.
741
00:33:17,724 --> 00:33:18,862
You know how she gets.
742
00:33:18,965 --> 00:33:20,945
It'd break her heart if you don't show up.
743
00:33:21,862 --> 00:33:25,344
And it's hard to recover
from a blow like that.
744
00:33:25,448 --> 00:33:28,310
After everything,
you know, Christmas and all.
745
00:33:30,551 --> 00:33:32,000
Heard.
746
00:33:32,827 --> 00:33:33,896
Good.
747
00:33:35,310 --> 00:33:37,344
Why would you do this?
748
00:33:37,448 --> 00:33:39,896
I thought it was nice.
749
00:33:39,897 --> 00:33:41,654
The more you come in contact
with something,
750
00:33:41,655 --> 00:33:43,379
the easier it is to digest.
751
00:33:43,482 --> 00:33:47,034
That goes for bloody noses, pigeons,
752
00:33:47,137 --> 00:33:49,724
doctors with chaotic personal lives.
753
00:33:49,827 --> 00:33:52,241
Nurses who know too much.
754
00:33:53,241 --> 00:33:56,311
You're lucky when you get to see
something in a different way.
755
00:33:56,413 --> 00:33:58,703
After a while,
you start to appreciate them,
756
00:33:58,704 --> 00:34:00,378
see what makes them both beautiful
757
00:34:00,379 --> 00:34:01,724
and worth being around.
758
00:34:01,827 --> 00:34:06,206
And maybe, when you're
not even thinking about it,
759
00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:08,206
they may even make you smile.
760
00:34:08,310 --> 00:34:09,517
[chuckles]
761
00:34:10,896 --> 00:34:13,413
It's a nice gift.
762
00:34:14,517 --> 00:34:16,103
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
763
00:34:16,104 --> 00:34:18,619
When can I come over and install it?
764
00:34:18,620 --> 00:34:20,378
'Cause you're gonna put it in the closet
765
00:34:20,379 --> 00:34:23,206
and forget about it if
I don't step up, so pick a day.
766
00:34:23,310 --> 00:34:25,655
[singsongy]: You're gonna die in my yard.
767
00:34:26,310 --> 00:34:29,172
Not with the best nurse
in the DMV watching over.
768
00:34:29,275 --> 00:34:30,793
[chuckles]
769
00:34:32,448 --> 00:34:36,000
If you survive the wild bird attack,
770
00:34:36,103 --> 00:34:38,551
I'll have to find a way to thank you
771
00:34:38,655 --> 00:34:40,862
for risking your life to keep me safe.
772
00:34:42,034 --> 00:34:43,379
I'll hold you to that.
773
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:45,462
[woman speaking indistinctly over P.A.]
774
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,206
I cannot remember the last time
I've had this much fun.
775
00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:52,965
And I have never seen you
move like that.
776
00:34:53,068 --> 00:34:55,598
- If you tell anyone...
- [laughs] Your secret is safe.
777
00:34:55,620 --> 00:34:57,793
[laughing]
778
00:34:57,896 --> 00:35:01,310
Eating on the floor,
smooth dance moves...
779
00:35:01,413 --> 00:35:05,068
Who is this fun-loving adventuress?
780
00:35:06,793 --> 00:35:09,482
Nicole Dupree, phase two.
781
00:35:09,586 --> 00:35:11,068
New you.
782
00:35:12,413 --> 00:35:15,413
I'm glad I get to see
who you're becoming.
783
00:35:15,517 --> 00:35:16,689
Because I like it.
784
00:35:19,034 --> 00:35:20,103
Makes two of us.
785
00:35:20,206 --> 00:35:22,448
[R&B music playing]
786
00:35:26,436 --> 00:35:31,343
I know it's wrong to
threaten people at Christmas...
787
00:35:31,344 --> 00:35:33,551
Fast pass to the naughty list.
788
00:35:33,655 --> 00:35:35,825
But now that you've
gotten me all excited,
789
00:35:35,827 --> 00:35:39,206
if you don't make time for
a holiday rom-com binge-a-thon,
790
00:35:39,310 --> 00:35:43,310
I'm gonna leave a wheelbarrow
full of coal in your hotel room.
791
00:35:43,413 --> 00:35:48,034
Okay, Leslie Junior, I will have
my slippers warming by the fire.
792
00:35:48,137 --> 00:35:50,310
Just say when.
793
00:35:50,413 --> 00:35:51,931
Good. Call you later.
794
00:35:52,034 --> 00:35:53,310
Aw.
795
00:35:53,413 --> 00:35:55,448
Have a holly jolly, baby.
796
00:35:55,551 --> 00:35:57,103
BOTH: Mwah. Mwah.
797
00:35:57,206 --> 00:35:59,034
[Leslie chuckles]
798
00:35:59,137 --> 00:36:01,517
- Behave yourself.
- You behave yourself.
799
00:36:01,620 --> 00:36:03,689
[R&B music playing]
800
00:36:07,517 --> 00:36:10,275
What a happy coincidence.
801
00:36:10,379 --> 00:36:13,482
Is it a coincidence?
802
00:36:13,586 --> 00:36:15,758
Oh, you think I'm following you?
803
00:36:15,862 --> 00:36:17,068
Question is:
804
00:36:17,172 --> 00:36:19,344
Are you doing it because you like me
805
00:36:19,448 --> 00:36:23,379
or because you were paid to,
like you were at WinterFest?
806
00:36:28,379 --> 00:36:32,275
