1
00:00:02,986 --> 00:00:04,586
(theme music playing)

2
00:00:17,375 --> 00:00:20,552
(playing the piano)
When can I play Alicia Keyes?

3
00:00:20,563 --> 00:00:22,012
When you learn these keys.

4
00:00:22,089 --> 00:00:23,972
Bryana, you have
to practice

5
00:00:23,983 --> 00:00:26,316
if you want to be
ready for your recital.

6
00:00:26,393 --> 00:00:27,642
Again.

7
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:29,403
(sighs, resumes playing)

8
00:00:32,474 --> 00:00:35,358
But, Uncle Bernie!
She gets this,
and she gets that.

9
00:00:35,435 --> 00:00:37,277
(speech muted)
And I don't get anything,
And I do good...

10
00:00:37,354 --> 00:00:39,196
(normal speech)
...school,
it's not fair!

11
00:00:39,272 --> 00:00:42,199
How come
she gets a piano,
and she stinks,

12
00:00:42,275 --> 00:00:45,869
and I can't even get
Ninja Fighters III,
and I'm good at it.

13
00:00:45,946 --> 00:00:47,204
I mean, it's
really not fair!

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,464
(muted speech)
I think...

15
00:00:49,658 --> 00:00:51,258
Oh! Uncle Bernie!

16
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:54,169
(groans)
Oh!

17
00:00:54,246 --> 00:00:56,671
(shouting)
America!

18
00:00:56,748 --> 00:00:59,174
(muted piano music playing)

19
00:00:59,251 --> 00:01:00,884
(normal sound resumes)

20
00:01:00,961 --> 00:01:05,680
America, I'm not even gonna
dignify him with an answer.

21
00:01:05,757 --> 00:01:07,557
But I'm telling you why.

22
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:11,144
See, because playing the piano
will enrich her life.

23
00:01:11,221 --> 00:01:13,730
Playing video games
don't enrich nothing.

24
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:15,373
So she's no good.

25
00:01:15,284 --> 00:01:17,567
Everybody's got
to start somewhere.

26
00:01:17,644 --> 00:01:21,071
For all you know, she could be
the next Roberta Flack.

27
00:01:21,148 --> 00:01:24,491
Young people, that's
Alicia Keyes with an afro.

28
00:01:24,568 --> 00:01:26,743
Hey, give it!
I had it first!

29
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:28,245
Give me!
I had it first!

30
00:01:28,321 --> 00:01:29,621
Hey, hey, hey,
separate!

31
00:01:29,698 --> 00:01:31,340
Separate!

32
00:01:31,416 --> 00:01:33,250
Now, let me tell you
something, young lady.

33
00:01:33,326 --> 00:01:35,502
Before you even think
about turning the television on,

34
00:01:35,579 --> 00:01:37,420
you better tickle
those ivories, you got me?

35
00:01:37,431 --> 00:01:41,383
-Yes, because it's such
a delight when you play.
-Shut up.

36
00:01:41,459 --> 00:01:42,500
First, I got to feed
my hamster.

37
00:01:42,578 --> 00:01:43,927
Uh-uh, no, you ain't.
Let it starve.

38
00:01:44,004 --> 00:01:45,428
Now, give it to him.

39
00:01:45,505 --> 00:01:46,763
(snickers)

40
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,890
Now, let's go,
young lady.

41
00:01:48,967 --> 00:01:50,275
(whimpers)

42
00:01:51,311 --> 00:01:52,602
BERNIE:
Come on, sit down here.

43
00:01:52,679 --> 00:01:53,728
Baby Girl, sit down...

44
00:01:53,805 --> 00:01:54,729
No, no, no, you don't.

45
00:01:54,806 --> 00:01:56,240
Sit down!

46
00:01:56,316 --> 00:01:58,108
Okay, Baby Girl, I'm not
playing with you. Sit down!

47
00:01:58,185 --> 00:01:59,442
Put your hand up here.

48
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:00,610
Put your hand
up here.

49
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:02,412
Put your hand in here.

50
00:02:02,489 --> 00:02:03,780
Sit down!
I'm not playing with you!

51
00:02:03,857 --> 00:02:05,949
(playing piano badly)

52
00:02:06,026 --> 00:02:07,417
(doorbell rings)

53
00:02:11,382 --> 00:02:12,673
Brian?

54
00:02:12,749 --> 00:02:14,249
What's up, Big B?

55
00:02:14,326 --> 00:02:16,168
Man, I hardly
could recognize you

56
00:02:16,244 --> 00:02:18,003
without that Jerry Curl bag
on your head, man.

57
00:02:18,079 --> 00:02:20,046
Oh, man,
that's old school.

58
00:02:20,123 --> 00:02:21,098
Look, I'm all natural now.

59
00:02:21,175 --> 00:02:23,175
Man, what's going on, man?

60
00:02:23,251 --> 00:02:24,259
(laughs)
What's up?

61
00:02:24,336 --> 00:02:26,219
America, I haven't seen

62
00:02:26,296 --> 00:02:27,637
this cat in years.

63
00:02:27,714 --> 00:02:29,723
Used to cut hair
in the neighborhood.

64
00:02:29,799 --> 00:02:31,016
He ain't no sissy, though.

65
00:02:31,092 --> 00:02:32,392
In fact, used to have

66
00:02:32,403 --> 00:02:34,144
quite a way with the ladies.

67
00:02:34,221 --> 00:02:36,605
I wonder what brings him
to town, though.

68
00:02:36,615 --> 00:02:38,356
Hmm.

69
00:02:38,433 --> 00:02:40,901
I hope it ain't no money.

70
00:02:40,977 --> 00:02:43,453
So, Brian, I mean,
what brings you
to L.A., man?

71
00:02:45,732 --> 00:02:46,915
Oh.

72
00:02:48,151 --> 00:02:49,634
Your sister, Stacey, man.

73
00:02:49,711 --> 00:02:52,245
I ran into her
last week, man, and...

74
00:02:52,322 --> 00:02:54,381
she dropped a bomb on me, y'all.

75
00:02:55,492 --> 00:02:58,177
She told me that Bryana
is named after her daddy.

76
00:02:59,579 --> 00:03:00,745
Hmm?

77
00:03:04,584 --> 00:03:06,426
Oh.
Oh.

78
00:03:06,437 --> 00:03:07,636
Huh.

79
00:03:07,712 --> 00:03:09,146
Bryana's daddy?

80
00:03:09,223 --> 00:03:10,889
I mean, America,
we always knew

81
00:03:10,966 --> 00:03:13,975
Bryana had a different pappy
from Jordan and Nessa.

82
00:03:14,052 --> 00:03:15,518
We just didn't know who.

83
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:17,103
See, it was a family secret,

84
00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:19,323
like Aunt Ruth and Aunt Betty,

85
00:03:19,399 --> 00:03:21,816
living together all them years.

86
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:24,027
They just friends! Sure!

87
00:03:24,038 --> 00:03:25,779
Nobody ever said nothing.

88
00:03:25,855 --> 00:03:27,497
Don't ask, don't tell.

89
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:30,033
You know, that's what family do.

90
00:03:30,110 --> 00:03:31,910
So, don't judge me.

91
00:03:31,987 --> 00:03:33,828
Your family got secrets, too.

92
00:03:33,839 --> 00:03:35,288
Oh, yeah.

93
00:03:35,365 --> 00:03:37,457
I was just as shocked as y'all.

94
00:03:37,534 --> 00:03:39,176
I don't know why you
were shocked, man.

95
00:03:39,253 --> 00:03:41,878
Weren't you there?
Oh, most
definitely.

96
00:03:41,955 --> 00:03:44,047
As fine as your sister was...

97
00:03:44,124 --> 00:03:47,217
You know, that...
that was a long time ago.

98
00:03:47,228 --> 00:03:48,927
A long...

99
00:03:49,004 --> 00:03:50,262
long, long time ago, man.

100
00:03:50,338 --> 00:03:52,097
And you know,
then I moved away.

101
00:03:52,173 --> 00:03:53,890
And I haven't seen Stacey since.

102
00:03:53,901 --> 00:03:56,017
Hey, yo, Mac,

103
00:03:56,094 --> 00:03:58,237
I just want
to see my daughter, man.

104
00:04:03,694 --> 00:04:06,486
Lookit,
as soon as I heard
about it, you know,

105
00:04:06,563 --> 00:04:08,446
I drove all the
way across country
just to see you.

106
00:04:08,523 --> 00:04:10,582
Do I have to go with him?

107
00:04:12,068 --> 00:04:14,452
BRIAN:
Oh, no, no,
no, sweetie.

108
00:04:14,529 --> 00:04:16,663
I know that you have
a great life here

109
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:18,623
with your aunt and uncle,
living all large.

110
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:21,001
It's just
that when your mom
told me about you,

111
00:04:21,077 --> 00:04:22,803
I just had
to see your face.

112
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:25,005
It's pretty.

113
00:04:25,081 --> 00:04:26,473
Just like
your mama's.

114
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:27,808
Oh, hey.

115
00:04:29,169 --> 00:04:30,519
I almost forgot.

116
00:04:34,257 --> 00:04:36,224
I brought
you something.

117
00:04:36,301 --> 00:04:37,484
Thank you.

118
00:04:39,179 --> 00:04:40,528
Can I go now?

119
00:04:43,975 --> 00:04:45,575
Hmm.

120
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,288
She looks like me.

121
00:04:50,857 --> 00:04:52,073
(laughs)

122
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:54,200
So, how long are you
in town, Brian?

123
00:04:54,277 --> 00:04:56,286
Oh, now,
just for the weekend.

124
00:04:56,297 --> 00:04:58,288
Then I have
to get back on the road.

125
00:04:58,365 --> 00:05:00,498
I'm staying at the Sheridan,
right up the street.

126
00:05:00,575 --> 00:05:01,791
Oh.

127
00:05:01,868 --> 00:05:04,085
Uh, why don't you
come over for dinner?

128
00:05:04,162 --> 00:05:05,128
Around 6:00?

129
00:05:05,205 --> 00:05:06,680
Thank you.

130
00:05:08,666 --> 00:05:10,342
Wow. Oh.

131
00:05:10,418 --> 00:05:12,060
I just...

132
00:05:13,546 --> 00:05:15,539
I thought
our daddy was my daddy.

133
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:18,850
No. Why do you think
you're yellow,
and we're chocolate?

134
00:05:18,927 --> 00:05:20,610
VANESSA:
I remember him.

135
00:05:20,687 --> 00:05:22,228
Out of all the guys mom dated,

136
00:05:22,305 --> 00:05:23,480
he was the nicest.

137
00:05:23,556 --> 00:05:24,981
He would always
bring her gifts.

138
00:05:25,058 --> 00:05:27,067
He got me this.

139
00:05:27,143 --> 00:05:29,944
Hey, give it back.
Hmm.

140
00:05:30,021 --> 00:05:32,364
Ten carats, 12 tops.

141
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,617

(sighs)
Is this one for me?

144
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,331
Now you know I saved
the best one for last,

145
00:05:41,408 --> 00:05:42,999
just for you.

146
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:45,210
Can I have extra whip cream?

147
00:05:45,286 --> 00:05:47,295
You can have extra
whatever you want.

148
00:05:47,372 --> 00:05:48,688
You want to know why?

149
00:05:48,765 --> 00:05:50,891

a little too late for
that much ice cream?

Yeah.

165
00:06:22,449 --> 00:06:24,165
Thank you, Daddy.

You hear that, America?

167
00:06:26,161 --> 00:06:28,211
Baby Girl called him daddy.

168
00:06:28,288 --> 00:06:30,046
That's a beautiful thing.

169
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:32,215
To have someone to call daddy.

170
00:06:32,292 --> 00:06:34,092
Sure, her belly will ache.

171
00:06:34,169 --> 00:06:36,094

This is a good thing.
(chuckles)

175
00:06:43,761 --> 00:06:44,960
Beautiful.

176
00:06:47,983 --> 00:06:49,950
I'm trying to peek.
Stop trying to peek.

177
00:06:50,026 --> 00:06:52,610
All right, you can
open your eyes now.

hasn't done her homework

or played the piano
or anything.

201
00:07:39,659 --> 00:07:41,751
Don't make no sense, her father
spoiling her like that.

202
00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:44,212
Well, just yesterday,
he bought her
some skates,

203
00:07:44,289 --> 00:07:46,998
and a bike...
I mean, how many gifts
does a girl need?

-Hey!
-Where have
you all been?

207
00:07:59,254 --> 00:08:00,762
Do you know it's
almost 10:00?

208
00:08:00,838 --> 00:08:03,306
Sweetie, stop eating that.

209
00:08:03,383 --> 00:08:05,484
No, see, look,
I promised her

210
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,977
she could have some
cotton candy if she
ate all her popcorn.

211
00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:09,729
Say good night.

212
00:08:09,806 --> 00:08:11,231
Good night,
Princess.

213
00:08:11,307 --> 00:08:13,024
Look, I'm sorry, B.

214
00:08:13,101 --> 00:08:14,459
I just lost track of time, man.

215
00:08:14,535 --> 00:08:16,786
But-- but she's here now.
It's all good.

216
00:08:19,566 --> 00:08:20,907
It's not all good!

217
00:08:20,984 --> 00:08:22,951
He's getting on my nerves!

218
00:08:23,027 --> 00:08:25,745
But, America,
he's leaving tomorrow.

219
00:08:25,822 --> 00:08:29,165
Lord, please, help me
make it through one more day.

220
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:32,627
Just one more day.

221
00:08:32,704 --> 00:08:34,471
It's all good, B.

222
00:08:38,593 --> 00:08:40,385
Hey, what's up, B?
Where's Princess?

223
00:08:40,461 --> 00:08:42,720
Princess! I got
the tickets, mama!

224
00:08:42,797 --> 00:08:44,806
We're going
to the movies!
We good to go!

225
00:08:44,816 --> 00:08:46,432
No, no, no,
no, sir.

226
00:08:46,509 --> 00:08:48,768
Baby Girl's doing her homework.
She got school tomorrow.

227
00:08:48,845 --> 00:08:50,436
Oh, come on, B.

228
00:08:50,513 --> 00:08:53,147
It's my last
night in town, man.

229
00:08:53,224 --> 00:08:54,658
I thought we could do
something special.

230
00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:56,034
School's special.

231
00:08:56,111 --> 00:08:57,502
Besides, she's got a bed time.

232
00:08:57,578 --> 00:08:59,904
She go past her bed time,
she's no good.

233
00:08:59,981 --> 00:09:02,490
She'll be gnawing
like she's on something.

234
00:09:02,567 --> 00:09:04,158
Oh, come on, B.

235
00:09:05,528 --> 00:09:10,248
It's just that, man,
you've had my daughter
for the last five years.

236
00:09:10,325 --> 00:09:13,760
I didn't think it'd be
a problem if I could get her
for two more hours.

237
00:09:24,339 --> 00:09:26,347
Baby Girl, what you
calling yourself doing?

238
00:09:26,424 --> 00:09:29,317
-Resting.
-You know there ain't
no resting at the table.

239
00:09:29,394 --> 00:09:32,645
Now, eat your breakfast,
and fix your hair.
And where your homework?

240
00:09:32,722 --> 00:09:34,480
My daddy said
I didn't have
to do it,

241
00:09:34,557 --> 00:09:36,983
because we were celebrating
finding each other.

242
00:09:36,994 --> 00:09:39,703
You'll be celebrating a whooping
if you don't do
your homework, you hear me?

243
00:09:42,398 --> 00:09:43,781
Can you help me
with my homework?

244
00:09:43,858 --> 00:09:45,500
Let your daddy help you.

245
00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:51,122
Vanessa, fix my hair.

246
00:09:51,199 --> 00:09:54,292
Bryana, that is not
how you ask.

247
00:09:54,369 --> 00:09:57,795
And, you know, I think it's nice
that your dad came to visit you.

248
00:09:57,872 --> 00:09:59,497
Most guys don't care.

249
00:09:59,574 --> 00:10:03,801
But that doesn't mean you have
to act like a spoiled brat.

250
00:10:03,878 --> 00:10:07,564
Are you mad because
my daddy's nice,
and your daddy's locked up?

251
00:10:09,026 --> 00:10:10,483
Fix it yourself.

252
00:10:16,516 --> 00:10:18,483
Oh, no. Where you
think you're going?

253
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,984
I'm riding
my scooter to school.

254
00:10:20,061 --> 00:10:21,268
No, you're not.
Turn it off.

255
00:10:21,346 --> 00:10:23,321
-My daddy would let me.
-Your daddy's not here.

256
00:10:23,398 --> 00:10:26,750
-Daddy!
-Hey, I'm not
going for that.

257
00:10:26,826 --> 00:10:31,245
Hey! Looks like somebody's ready
to ride to school
on their brand new scooter.

258
00:10:31,322 --> 00:10:32,997
I thought you went home.

259
00:10:33,074 --> 00:10:35,750
I did, but I was
on the highway,

260
00:10:35,761 --> 00:10:37,001
and I had a thought, Bernie.

261
00:10:37,078 --> 00:10:39,045
Why am I in a hurry to get home?

262
00:10:39,122 --> 00:10:42,882
And how can I even call it home
when my daughter is here?

263
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:44,759
Oh.
Bernie,

264
00:10:44,770 --> 00:10:46,177
this is my seed, man.

265
00:10:46,254 --> 00:10:48,554
My little acorn.
You feel me?

266
00:10:48,631 --> 00:10:50,932
I want to be here
to watch her grow.

267
00:10:51,008 --> 00:10:53,434
I can't miss out on that, man.

268
00:10:53,511 --> 00:10:54,552
Hey.

269
00:10:54,629 --> 00:10:56,688
Come on, Bryana,
let's go to school.

270
00:10:56,698 --> 00:10:58,064
Hey, Hey, Bern,

271
00:10:58,141 --> 00:11:00,450
I promise I'll run
alongside of her, cool?

272
00:11:02,478 --> 00:11:04,153
All right.
Come on, let's go to school.

281
00:11:29,481 --> 00:11:32,557
Well, did he say
how much longer
he was staying?

282
00:11:32,633 --> 00:11:34,142
Indefinitely.

283
00:11:34,218 --> 00:11:36,436
Hmm. Well,
you know what?

284
00:11:36,512 --> 00:11:39,564
Just talk to him.
And be nice.

285
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,735

and everything...
Bernie,

288
00:11:48,149 --> 00:11:52,410
I mean, I never thought
I could love somebody
this much.

289
00:11:52,487 --> 00:11:53,420
God.

290
00:11:54,614 --> 00:11:56,673

291
00:11:59,118 --> 00:12:00,510
Well...

292
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:05,390
Well, I don't know
how to put this, but...

293
00:12:05,467 --> 00:12:08,435
you see, B, uh...
your princess?

294
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:11,846
She's a wolf
in sheep's clothing.

295
00:12:11,857 --> 00:12:13,097
Oh, yeah.

296
00:12:13,174 --> 00:12:15,224
She's a shepherd for the devil.

297
00:12:15,301 --> 00:12:18,019
(laughing) No. No, man,
not my princess.

298
00:12:18,029 --> 00:12:21,731
I know.
I've been her guardian
for four years.

299
00:12:21,808 --> 00:12:24,442
-I know what I'm talking about.
-No, no, see, look.

300
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:27,945
I want to be more
like the, uh... the fun,

301
00:12:28,022 --> 00:12:29,947
hip-hop type
type of dad.

302
00:12:30,024 --> 00:12:31,365
You feel me?

303
00:12:31,442 --> 00:12:33,951
That's what I'm talking about.

304
00:12:34,028 --> 00:12:36,287
See, Brian, she don't need
any more friends.

305
00:12:36,364 --> 00:12:38,748
What she needs
is rules and discipline.

306
00:12:38,825 --> 00:12:41,083
If not, she'll start acting
like a banshee.

307
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,419
Now, that's no good
for her,

308
00:12:43,496 --> 00:12:46,714
and it's definitely
no good for me.

309
00:12:46,791 --> 00:12:47,974
You feel me?

310
00:12:49,877 --> 00:12:51,110
I think I do.

311
00:12:52,096 --> 00:12:53,387
Bryana!
Come on,
take it easy.

312
00:12:53,464 --> 00:12:55,356
Hey, hey, Bernie,
I got this, man.

313
00:12:56,976 --> 00:12:59,277
I hear you been
disrespectful
to your Uncle Bernie.

314
00:12:59,354 --> 00:13:01,646
Is that true?

315
00:13:01,722 --> 00:13:04,908
Hey, is it true?
Yes. I-I mean, no.

316
00:13:04,984 --> 00:13:07,786
Well, which one is it, girl?
Is it yes or is it no,
'cause you know what?

317
00:13:07,862 --> 00:13:09,487
I will take the back
of this shoe--
Hey! Come on!

318
00:13:09,564 --> 00:13:10,988
Hey, hey.
What's wrong with you?
Hey, hey.

319
00:13:11,065 --> 00:13:13,032
You're right. My bad.

320
00:13:13,109 --> 00:13:15,368
Man, you know what?
I will beat you...
Hey, hey! B, come on, man.

321
00:13:15,444 --> 00:13:17,228
I'm disciplining
my daughter.

322
00:13:17,305 --> 00:13:19,038
What's the matter with you?
Look at what you're
doing to her.

323
00:13:19,115 --> 00:13:20,164
What?

324
00:13:20,241 --> 00:13:22,675
(sniffling)

325
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,079
Oh.

326
00:13:27,157 --> 00:13:29,674
Baby, I'm sorry.

327
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:32,477
Daddy didn't mean to
make his princess cry.

328
00:13:33,754 --> 00:13:34,938
Look, uh...

329
00:13:36,465 --> 00:13:38,266
here, here's $20.

330
00:13:38,342 --> 00:13:39,692
Okay?

331
00:13:42,313 --> 00:13:43,696
I'm sorry!

332
00:13:45,450 --> 00:13:47,692
Brian, I didn't say
to chop her head off.

333
00:13:47,768 --> 00:13:51,162
Bernie, you told me
to discipline her, man.

334
00:13:51,239 --> 00:13:52,905
You're sending me
mixed signals.

335
00:13:52,982 --> 00:13:55,542
All right, I'm going
to keep this real simple.

336
00:13:56,652 --> 00:13:59,328
Your daughter, my Baby Girl,

337
00:13:59,405 --> 00:14:00,939
she has a routine,

338
00:14:01,015 --> 00:14:04,467
and Brian, all you got
to do is fit into it.

339
00:14:05,703 --> 00:14:06,803

00:14:08,531 --> 00:14:09,922

Huh?

You'll have
to take your turn

349
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:26,898
at the end
of the line, lad.
Relax, man.

350
00:14:26,974 --> 00:14:29,901
(horn hooting)
I'm just here to pick up
my Baby Girl, all right?

351
00:14:29,977 --> 00:14:30,776
Little Bryana.

352
00:14:30,853 --> 00:14:32,236
(grunts)

353
00:14:32,313 --> 00:14:35,197
Uh, look here, Sister.
(horn hooting)

354
00:14:35,274 --> 00:14:37,783
I ain't one
of these little students
you got here, all right?

355
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:39,702
So the next time
you hit this truck,

356
00:14:39,779 --> 00:14:41,412
you're going to be
a flying nun.

357
00:14:41,489 --> 00:14:43,080
How do you get
in a fight with a nun?

358
00:14:43,157 --> 00:14:46,167
It was with a priest.
The nuns jumped in!

359
00:14:46,243 --> 00:14:50,379
And you call this
a routine?
Look, man, I... I
guess you're right.

360
00:14:50,456 --> 00:14:52,098
I guess I did take it
a bit far.

361
00:14:55,169 --> 00:14:57,937
Could you give that back
to Sister Patricia, please?

362
00:15:02,051 --> 00:15:03,902
Look, B...

363
00:15:03,978 --> 00:15:05,528
I don't think
this is going to work out, man.

364
00:15:05,605 --> 00:15:08,064
But she hit me first!

365
00:15:08,140 --> 00:15:09,815
Hey, hey, where's Bryana?

366
00:15:09,892 --> 00:15:12,076
She's supposed
to be practicing
the piano.

367
00:15:14,831 --> 00:15:17,332
I don't even know how I let her
talk me into buying that thing.

368
00:15:17,408 --> 00:15:21,452
I got a piano
in the middle of my floor.
I can't get nobody to play.

369
00:15:21,529 --> 00:15:23,871
I'll play!
(plays the piano badly)

370
00:15:23,948 --> 00:15:24,997
Shut up!

371
00:15:25,008 --> 00:15:26,457
(groans)

372
00:15:26,534 --> 00:15:29,502
Bernie,
Bryana takes piano lessons?

373
00:15:29,578 --> 00:15:32,555
She did before
you got here.
Oh, come on, man,

374
00:15:32,632 --> 00:15:34,057
you need to let me
teach her that.

375
00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:36,643
I... That's something
I could do.
You?

376
00:15:37,795 --> 00:15:39,562
I know you know I play.

377
00:15:40,506 --> 00:15:42,941
(playing the piano well)

378
00:15:45,553 --> 00:15:47,320
So you play a little.
Hmm.

379
00:15:47,397 --> 00:15:49,814
But Baby Girl
need a real teacher.

380
00:15:49,890 --> 00:15:52,316
She's got to get ready
for her recital next Friday,

381
00:15:52,393 --> 00:15:54,360
and she ain't
no quick study.

382
00:15:54,437 --> 00:15:55,653
Hey, don't worry
about that,

383
00:15:55,730 --> 00:15:58,280
'cause I got this.

384
00:15:58,357 --> 00:16:00,792
(playing the piano well)

385
00:16:03,112 --> 00:16:06,005
(Bryana playing poorly)

386
00:16:08,451 --> 00:16:10,668
Uh, Princess,
Princess, oh!

387
00:16:10,745 --> 00:16:13,796
Hey, baby, uh,
you know, this song
is killing Daddy.

388
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:16,173
What do you say
we have some fun right now?

389
00:16:16,250 --> 00:16:17,183
Okay.

390
00:16:18,961 --> 00:16:21,971
I say get
the mall walk, mama.
Get the mall walk on.

391
00:16:22,048 --> 00:16:23,514
Yeah, that's it.

392
00:16:23,591 --> 00:16:25,233
Uh-huh.
(chuckles)

393
00:16:26,611 --> 00:16:28,436
(scoffs)
Nice sweat-suits.

394
00:16:28,512 --> 00:16:30,312
Thanks. My daddy
got it for me.

395
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:31,731
And an outfit
for my recital.

396
00:16:31,807 --> 00:16:33,649
Speaking of which,
aren't you supposed

397
00:16:33,726 --> 00:16:35,359
to be practicing
for your recital?

398
00:16:35,436 --> 00:16:37,695
Oh, now, Vanessa,
everybody knows

399
00:16:37,772 --> 00:16:39,405
there's a time
for practicing

400
00:16:39,482 --> 00:16:41,365
and a time for shopping.

401
00:16:41,376 --> 00:16:42,742
Isn't that right,
Princess?

402
00:16:42,818 --> 00:16:44,201
Right, Daddy.
Mm-hmm.

403
00:16:44,278 --> 00:16:45,628
Do the Bobby and Whitney.

404
00:16:46,614 --> 00:16:49,215
(humming)

405
00:16:51,636 --> 00:16:53,094
You been served.

406
00:16:54,288 --> 00:16:56,973
(girl playing piano well)

407
00:17:03,798 --> 00:17:05,139
I don't want to play.

408
00:17:05,216 --> 00:17:07,516
What's wrong,
Baby Girl?

409
00:17:07,593 --> 00:17:08,809
B, what seems
to be the problem,
man?

410
00:17:08,886 --> 00:17:10,677
Look, there is
no problem.

411
00:17:10,655 --> 00:17:12,938
Look, this girl got music
flowing through her blood, man.

412
00:17:13,015 --> 00:17:15,733
I'm a self-taught musician.
My daddy played, too.

413
00:17:15,810 --> 00:17:19,278
Man... Look here, sweetheart,
don't pay no attention to that.
She's much older than you, okay?

414
00:17:19,355 --> 00:17:23,166
WOMAN (over PA system): Please
welcome, from the third grade,
our next performer, Oliver.

415
00:17:24,702 --> 00:17:27,170
(plays piano well)

416
00:17:31,617 --> 00:17:33,584
I don't want to play.
I'm not going to play.

417
00:17:33,661 --> 00:17:34,919
I knew this was
going to happen.

418
00:17:34,995 --> 00:17:36,587
Jordan, you
know what to do.

419
00:17:36,664 --> 00:17:38,022
(wheezing)
Come on, baby,
come on.

420
00:17:37,932 --> 00:17:40,299
Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on.

421
00:17:40,376 --> 00:17:42,109
We're not going
anywhere.

422
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:45,179
We came here to play,
and that's what
we're going to do.

423
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:48,307
Now, Bryana, I know
you're not backing down
from a challenge.

424
00:17:48,384 --> 00:17:51,560
How do you know?
You've only known me
for 11 days.

425
00:17:51,637 --> 00:17:53,312
Okay, I told you...

426
00:17:53,389 --> 00:17:55,940
Look, the world
is a mean place,

427
00:17:56,016 --> 00:17:57,274
and if they smell
your fear,

428
00:17:57,351 --> 00:17:58,526
it's just going
to get meaner,

429
00:17:58,602 --> 00:18:00,194
so you can't let anything

430
00:18:00,205 --> 00:18:01,737
intimidate you, all right?

431
00:18:01,814 --> 00:18:05,032
Back in the day,
in the concrete jungle,

432
00:18:05,109 --> 00:18:07,576
I was on the ball courts,
and I was balling, right,

433
00:18:07,653 --> 00:18:09,504
and this seven-foot dude,
he come up to me

434
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:11,455
and he challenged me
in front of everybody.

435
00:18:11,532 --> 00:18:13,374
What'd you do?
I was nervous, man,

436
00:18:13,450 --> 00:18:16,710
but you can't let 'em smell
your fear on the battlefield.

437
00:18:16,787 --> 00:18:19,130
Because I wasn't
acting scared.

438
00:18:19,206 --> 00:18:21,632
My fear? it disappeared.

439
00:18:21,709 --> 00:18:23,175
On the inside...

440
00:18:23,252 --> 00:18:25,645
I was Air Jordan.

441
00:18:26,731 --> 00:18:28,139
You're Alicia Keyes.

442
00:18:28,215 --> 00:18:31,350
I don't know about
all that, now...

443
00:18:31,427 --> 00:18:33,903
(applause continues)

444
00:18:35,431 --> 00:18:36,897
Yo, B.
Yeah?

445
00:18:36,974 --> 00:18:39,775
Listen, um...
back in the day,

446
00:18:39,852 --> 00:18:41,735
in the concrete jungle,
when you was balling?

447
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:43,028
Mm-hmm?
Did you win?

448
00:18:43,105 --> 00:18:45,739
Oh, hell to the no.
Man, I stunk.

449
00:18:45,816 --> 00:18:48,576
Thought so.
Hey, hey,
but I wasn't scared.

450
00:18:48,652 --> 00:18:50,661
And I didn't run away.

451
00:18:50,738 --> 00:18:52,880
That is the point we're trying
to make here, right?

452
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,291
Oh, Lord!

453
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:57,844
(encouraging applause)

454
00:18:59,914 --> 00:19:04,183
(piano music playing badly)

455
00:19:05,386 --> 00:19:07,186
(sound greatly muted)

456
00:19:08,464 --> 00:19:10,472
(Bryana continues
playing badly)

457
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:12,775
BERNIE:
Stop, stop filming, son.

458
00:19:16,847 --> 00:19:18,364
(stops playing)

459
00:19:22,436 --> 00:19:24,871
(scattered applause)

460
00:19:32,029 --> 00:19:34,955
Go, go get her,
go get her, baby.
Hurry up!

461
00:19:35,032 --> 00:19:36,540
It could've been worse.

462
00:19:36,617 --> 00:19:37,917
Somebody in the audience
could have caught

463
00:19:37,993 --> 00:19:39,960
bad-piano-player-itis
and died.

464
00:19:40,037 --> 00:19:42,180
-You want me to
do something to you?
-No.

465
00:19:43,499 --> 00:19:44,807
Hey, Baby Girl.

466
00:19:44,884 --> 00:19:46,383
Hey, don't
worry about it.

467
00:19:46,460 --> 00:19:47,676
You'll get
'em next time.

468
00:19:47,687 --> 00:19:49,637
-Am I right?
-That's right.

469
00:19:49,713 --> 00:19:50,846
Can Miss Tyler
come back?

470
00:19:50,857 --> 00:19:52,723
I promise
I'll practice.

471
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,725
I'll call her first
thing tomorrow.

472
00:19:54,802 --> 00:19:58,062
Hey, Princess,
you were great up there.

473
00:19:58,072 --> 00:19:59,488
Hey, look.

474
00:19:59,565 --> 00:20:01,941
I got
something for you.

475
00:20:02,017 --> 00:20:03,734
You were supposed
to help me practice.

476
00:20:03,811 --> 00:20:05,903
You're the one
that wanted to go shopping.

477
00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:06,913
So?

478
00:20:10,025 --> 00:20:13,336
(exhales)
She hates me.

479
00:20:15,781 --> 00:20:17,957
Now you're a real daddy.

480
00:20:18,033 --> 00:20:19,467
Come on, family,
let's go.

481
00:20:20,828 --> 00:20:22,586
Come on, baby.

482
00:20:22,663 --> 00:20:24,463
VANESSA: Okay.
BERNIE: Y'all hungry?

483
00:20:24,540 --> 00:20:25,923
JORDAN:
Me, too.
Yeah.

484
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,258
BERNIE: Me, too, man,
y'all want to go

485
00:20:27,334 --> 00:20:28,592
to our favorite place?

486
00:20:28,669 --> 00:20:30,895
VANESSA: Yeah.
BERNIE: (chuckles)

487
00:20:34,433 --> 00:20:35,557
Hey, B!

488
00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:37,101
You coming?
Hmm?

489
00:20:37,177 --> 00:20:38,861
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I was just thinking, man.

490
00:20:38,938 --> 00:20:40,104
Come on, man.

491
00:20:40,180 --> 00:20:42,606
America, you'll hear Baby Girl

492
00:20:42,683 --> 00:20:44,675
practicing every day
like clockwork.

493
00:20:44,752 --> 00:20:47,444
She's learned
that when her uncle
tells her to do something,

494
00:20:47,521 --> 00:20:49,113
it's for her own good.

495
00:20:49,189 --> 00:20:51,949
Guess I'm doing a good job
of raising her daddy, too.

496
00:20:52,026 --> 00:20:52,992
(knocking)
Bernie...

497
00:20:53,068 --> 00:20:55,378
What's up, B?
Uh...

498
00:20:55,454 --> 00:20:57,296
Is this
where the real daddies
hang out?

499
00:20:58,582 --> 00:21:02,876
No, no, man,
this is where I talk
to America by myself.

500
00:21:02,953 --> 00:21:06,297
Ooh, my bad. Uh...
do your thing, bro.

501
00:21:06,373 --> 00:21:07,464
Do your thing.

502
00:21:11,211 --> 00:21:13,804
This is going to be
a problem, America.

503
00:21:13,881 --> 00:21:16,148
A big problem.

504
00:21:22,806 --> 00:21:24,156
(knocking)

505
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:28,911
They's coming, Bernie.
They's coming.
Hides that!

506
00:21:28,988 --> 00:21:30,779
Hides that!
Come on in!

507
00:21:30,790 --> 00:21:32,999
Come on! Come and get 'em!

508
00:21:36,504 --> 00:21:38,296
WOMAN:
Okay, Bernie Mac!

509
00:21:39,448 --> 00:21:40,831
Just didn't know who.

510
00:21:40,908 --> 00:21:42,124
It was a family secret,

511
00:21:42,201 --> 00:21:44,335
like Aunt Ruth and Aunt Betty...

512
00:21:44,411 --> 00:21:47,046
Oh, all--all they, uh...

513
00:21:47,056 --> 00:21:49,140
(making nonsense noises)
