1
00:00:03,171 --> 00:00:07,508
Mmm. First time I tried egusi,
I could barely stand the spice.
2
00:00:07,608 --> 00:00:10,144
Now look. (coughs)
3
00:00:10,244 --> 00:00:11,945
That's allergies.
4
00:00:12,046 --> 00:00:13,714
Can I have some more pepper, please?
5
00:00:13,814 --> 00:00:14,948
Show off.
6
00:00:15,049 --> 00:00:16,417
You may have the pepper
7
00:00:16,517 --> 00:00:19,120
if you answer
the following history question.
8
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:20,521
Don't tell me.
It's finals week.
9
00:00:20,621 --> 00:00:21,755
Best week of the year.
10
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:23,424
What kind of kid looks forward
11
00:00:23,524 --> 00:00:24,825
to taking a bunch of tests?
12
00:00:24,925 --> 00:00:26,894
The genius
who fell out of my womb.
13
00:00:26,994 --> 00:00:28,062
(chuckles)
14
00:00:28,162 --> 00:00:29,997
Who fought
the Thirty Years' War?
15
00:00:30,098 --> 00:00:33,134
Catholics and Protestants
in Central Europe.
16
00:00:33,234 --> 00:00:35,069
Hold on, I am googling.
17
00:00:35,169 --> 00:00:37,738
Correct. Enjoy the pepper.
18
00:00:38,939 --> 00:00:40,308
You know,
I was talking to a client today,
19
00:00:40,408 --> 00:00:42,143
Southern Michigan man like me.
20
00:00:42,243 --> 00:00:43,611
Go Jackrabbits!
21
00:00:44,445 --> 00:00:46,013
Why is he screaming?
22
00:00:46,114 --> 00:00:47,014
It is something he does
23
00:00:47,115 --> 00:00:48,516
with the other alumni.
24
00:00:48,616 --> 00:00:50,418
I've seen it happen
in grocery stores.
25
00:00:50,518 --> 00:00:51,752
I can't wait for college.
26
00:00:51,852 --> 00:00:53,721
SMU was the best time
of my life.
27
00:00:53,821 --> 00:00:55,223
I should take you for a visit.
28
00:00:55,323 --> 00:00:56,490
It's only a couple hours.
29
00:00:56,590 --> 00:00:57,691
Why would you do that?
30
00:00:57,791 --> 00:00:59,193
Dele is going to Harvard.
31
00:00:59,293 --> 00:01:00,228
Yes.
Obviously.
32
00:01:00,328 --> 00:01:01,962
What an odd suggestion.
33
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:04,932
So he can't even look
at other schools?
34
00:01:05,032 --> 00:01:05,899
No.
Why?
35
00:01:05,999 --> 00:01:07,968
What a ridiculous question.
36
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:11,772
My counsellor did say we should
be touring a variety of schools.
37
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:15,376
Which is not something
I need to do.
38
00:01:15,476 --> 00:01:17,077
I'm not trying to steal him
from Harvard.
39
00:01:17,178 --> 00:01:18,446
It'd be a fun trip.
40
00:01:18,546 --> 00:01:19,913
We can hit the road,
41
00:01:20,013 --> 00:01:21,782
sing the fight song of
the mighty Jackrabbits.
42
00:01:21,882 --> 00:01:24,552
♪ We gotta hop, hop, hop
for Southern Michigan ♪
43
00:01:24,652 --> 00:01:25,653
♪ The great school where ♪
44
00:01:25,753 --> 00:01:27,355
♪ The Great Lakes begin! ♪
45
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:31,559
I can see why people
might find that annoying,
46
00:01:31,659 --> 00:01:33,060
but I love it.
47
00:01:33,161 --> 00:01:35,863
Come on, it can be a reward
for acing his final.
48
00:01:35,963 --> 00:01:38,299
I do not give rewards
for something I expect.
49
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:39,567
AUTIE OLU:
Abishola,
50
00:01:39,667 --> 00:01:40,968
sometimes you just have
51
00:01:41,068 --> 00:01:43,036
to let your husband have
a pointless adventure.
52
00:01:43,137 --> 00:01:45,939
Even if it is just
to shut him up.
53
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:48,476
Okay, let's not
everybody help at once.
54
00:01:48,576 --> 00:01:50,144
Pass me that pepper.
55
00:01:50,911 --> 00:01:54,948
("Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing)
56
00:02:17,705 --> 00:02:19,039
The old man in 402
57
00:02:19,139 --> 00:02:21,008
is annoyingly energetic today.
58
00:02:21,108 --> 00:02:22,510
He got a new pacemaker.
59
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:25,546
Well, then somebody needs
to dial down the pace.
60
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:27,781
(phone buzzing)
61
00:02:27,881 --> 00:02:29,317
Ugh.
62
00:02:29,417 --> 00:02:30,684
You okay?
63
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:34,154
Bob is sending me notable alumni
from his university.
64
00:02:34,255 --> 00:02:36,290
Oh. From speaking with him,
65
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:38,859
I never got the impression
he went to college.
66
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:42,029
Along with a local accident
attorney named Fender Ben.
67
00:02:42,129 --> 00:02:43,297
KEMI:
Uh-uh.
68
00:02:43,397 --> 00:02:46,099
"Fender Ben,
your bent fender friend"?
69
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,368
I love him.
70
00:02:47,468 --> 00:02:50,070
Bob insists that
Dele will benefit
71
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:52,139
from seeing
his old stomping grounds.
72
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,941
Wanting to share
precious memories
73
00:02:54,041 --> 00:02:55,443
with his loved ones.
74
00:02:55,543 --> 00:02:56,677
The nerve.
75
00:02:56,777 --> 00:02:57,978
What next?
76
00:02:58,078 --> 00:02:59,179
Is he going to take you
to the preschool
77
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,981
where he was toilet-trained?
78
00:03:01,782 --> 00:03:03,183
GLORIA:
You do realize
79
00:03:03,284 --> 00:03:05,886
those elite universities
don't take everyone, right?
80
00:03:06,787 --> 00:03:09,557
So, you believe Dele is
too stupid to get into Harvard?
81
00:03:09,657 --> 00:03:11,024
No, I'm just saying,
82
00:03:11,124 --> 00:03:13,227
there are a lot of Deles
out there competing to get in.
83
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:15,763
But my Dele is the best Dele.
84
00:03:15,863 --> 00:03:19,567
(scoffs) It never hurts
to have a backup plan.
85
00:03:19,667 --> 00:03:22,503
Why do you continue
to call him an idiot?
86
00:03:23,837 --> 00:03:25,205
Never mind.
87
00:03:26,073 --> 00:03:27,375
You know what?
88
00:03:27,475 --> 00:03:30,278
You should take him
to Bob's silly campus.
89
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:31,545
Why would I do that?
90
00:03:31,645 --> 00:03:34,147
Threatening Dele
with a terrible education
91
00:03:34,248 --> 00:03:36,717
will shock him
into working harder.
92
00:03:36,817 --> 00:03:38,852
Oh, come on, now.
93
00:03:38,952 --> 00:03:40,721
The horrors of mediocrity
94
00:03:40,821 --> 00:03:44,024
will scare Dele
straight into the Ivy Leagues.
95
00:03:46,093 --> 00:03:48,296
Thank you, Kemi.
96
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:53,301
And that is what supporting
a friend looks like.
97
00:03:57,037 --> 00:03:59,006
Are we ready to begin?
Real quick.
98
00:03:59,106 --> 00:04:01,609
I'm gonna be gone for a bit,
'cause for the first time,
99
00:04:01,709 --> 00:04:03,644
I won an argument
in my marriage.
100
00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:05,012
Aw.
Oh.
101
00:04:05,112 --> 00:04:06,480
So, she threw you out?
102
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:08,316
Abishola and I are
gonna take Dele
103
00:04:08,416 --> 00:04:10,784
on a little road trip
to visit my alma mater.
104
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:13,354
Oh! I would love to return to
105
00:04:13,454 --> 00:04:16,790
(in accent):
the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa.
106
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:19,560
I did not know
you studied abroad.
107
00:04:20,127 --> 00:04:21,261
She went to Portugal
for two weeks
108
00:04:21,362 --> 00:04:23,263
and spoke with an accent
for a year.
109
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:25,833
The mornings.
110
00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:29,236
(in accent):
A cup of café
with my pastel de nata.
111
00:04:29,337 --> 00:04:31,004
In the evenings, we danced
112
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:33,674
the fandango
alongside the Rio Tejo.
113
00:04:33,774 --> 00:04:36,143
(chuckles, sucks air)
114
00:04:36,243 --> 00:04:37,711
Are you done?
115
00:04:37,811 --> 00:04:39,947
Prossiga.
116
00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:43,551
While I'm away, I've brought in
some reinforcements.
117
00:04:43,651 --> 00:04:44,818
Mom!
118
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:47,087
Look who we smuggled in
from Malaysia.
119
00:04:47,187 --> 00:04:50,190
She is kidding.
I flew Delta.
120
00:04:50,958 --> 00:04:52,860
Let's all give Wati
a warm MaxDot welcome.
121
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,928
Hey, so good to see you, Wati.
(others mumbling)
122
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:56,464
WATI:
I am so excited.
123
00:04:56,564 --> 00:04:58,932
Now, when I put "Made
in America" on my products,
124
00:04:59,032 --> 00:05:01,068
I will not be lying.
125
00:05:01,168 --> 00:05:02,570
Welcome, Mr. Zhao.
126
00:05:02,670 --> 00:05:04,137
It is good
to have someone
127
00:05:04,237 --> 00:05:07,040
whose expertise
will compliment my own.
128
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:08,442
Will this affect
the chain of command?
129
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:10,077
Nope, you're still
at the bottom.
130
00:05:10,177 --> 00:05:11,345
Well, it's always nice
131
00:05:11,445 --> 00:05:13,947
to have diversity
in upper management.
132
00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:15,115
Thank you, Christina.
133
00:05:15,215 --> 00:05:17,651
So he is upper management?
134
00:05:17,751 --> 00:05:18,986
Guys, relax.
135
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:20,788
Wati has always been
a part of this team.
136
00:05:20,888 --> 00:05:24,257
The company's growing,
so his role's growing, too.
137
00:05:24,358 --> 00:05:25,826
Hey, this is your first day
in America.
138
00:05:25,926 --> 00:05:27,060
I'll show you the town.
139
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,829
Yeah, I want to
eat a chili dog
140
00:05:28,929 --> 00:05:30,263
and buy a gun.
141
00:05:30,364 --> 00:05:33,133
I know a place
where you can do both.
142
00:05:35,703 --> 00:05:40,474
Okay. What two countries did
Yugoslavia split into in 2003?
143
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,176
Serbia and Montenegro.
144
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:44,645
Correct.
145
00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:46,880
In 1989, what did
the Bennigan's
146
00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:50,150
near campus turn into?
147
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:51,819
I do not think
he will get AP credits
148
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:53,120
for the history of Bob.
149
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:56,089
The answer is
Burger Palace.
150
00:05:56,189 --> 00:05:57,991
Best malt in Southern Michigan.
151
00:05:58,091 --> 00:06:00,928
You just said that about a diner
we passed 20 minutes ago.
152
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:02,530
That was the best milkshake.
153
00:06:02,630 --> 00:06:05,499
Ah. The kid's a quick study.
154
00:06:05,599 --> 00:06:08,669
Well, here we are.
Welcome to the 'Zoo.
155
00:06:08,769 --> 00:06:11,705
That's what you call Kalamazoo
if you want to sound cool.
156
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:14,442
Cool.
157
00:06:14,542 --> 00:06:16,444
Oh. There it is.
McConnell Hall.
158
00:06:16,544 --> 00:06:17,945
Freshman year dorm.
159
00:06:18,045 --> 00:06:20,848
Fun fact, built by a guy
who designed prisons.
160
00:06:21,615 --> 00:06:23,717
Do not worry, you're not going
to stay in the dorm.
161
00:06:23,817 --> 00:06:25,285
You will stay
with your second cousin.
162
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:26,720
She only lives
an hour from Harvard.
163
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:27,955
BOB:
Come on.
164
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:29,256
He's got to get
the full experience.
165
00:06:29,356 --> 00:06:30,924
Meeting kids
from all over,
166
00:06:31,024 --> 00:06:34,394
learning to sleep three feet
from a total stranger.
167
00:06:34,495 --> 00:06:36,897
And the stranger's girlfriend.
168
00:06:37,865 --> 00:06:39,232
It's only an hour, you said?
169
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:42,770
He's gonna fall behind.
What do you mean?
170
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:45,305
People on campus are
at school 24/7.
171
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:47,441
You have access to study groups.
172
00:06:47,541 --> 00:06:49,342
It's easier to get to
the professor's office.
173
00:06:49,443 --> 00:06:51,011
It's like living
in a lecture hall.
174
00:06:51,111 --> 00:06:52,480
That's interesting.
175
00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:53,947
You're damn right it is.
176
00:06:54,047 --> 00:06:55,215
If I wasn't in the dorms,
177
00:06:55,315 --> 00:06:56,517
I would've never
made the dean's list.
178
00:06:56,617 --> 00:06:58,018
You made the dean's list?
179
00:06:58,118 --> 00:06:59,820
At Southern Michigan University.
180
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:00,921
Go Jackrabbits!
181
00:07:01,021 --> 00:07:02,523
(horn honking)
182
00:07:05,993 --> 00:07:08,261
And there is
Mr. Wheeler's office,
183
00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:09,897
which you can enter freely,
184
00:07:09,997 --> 00:07:12,933
thanks to the open-door
policy I suggested.
185
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:14,935
I believe in closed doors.
186
00:07:15,035 --> 00:07:18,171
That is also a good policy.
187
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:19,507
Hello!
188
00:07:19,607 --> 00:07:21,675
Welcome to our factory,
189
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:23,243
my new friend.
190
00:07:24,211 --> 00:07:26,580
I have no idea who you are.
191
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,051
Babatunde Olatunji.
MaxDot's senior consultant.
192
00:07:31,151 --> 00:07:32,520
That sounds made up.
193
00:07:32,620 --> 00:07:34,822
Well, Bob created the position
for me.
194
00:07:34,922 --> 00:07:36,289
So it is made up.
195
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:37,725
No, it is real.
196
00:07:37,825 --> 00:07:40,360
He's a senior
and does a lot of consulting.
197
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:43,664
I am also Bob's wife's uncle.
198
00:07:44,397 --> 00:07:45,766
Which is not
necessarily relevant.
199
00:07:45,866 --> 00:07:50,003
Of course it is.
That is why I got the job.
200
00:07:50,103 --> 00:07:51,404
Shall we continue your tour?
201
00:07:51,505 --> 00:07:53,240
No, thank you,
I have seen enough.
202
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:55,375
(muttering)
203
00:07:57,377 --> 00:07:59,613
He seems nice.
204
00:08:05,118 --> 00:08:06,419
And this is the student union,
205
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,656
home to WKMZ radio.
206
00:08:08,756 --> 00:08:10,591
I actually had
my own talk show.
207
00:08:10,691 --> 00:08:12,793
It's Bob Wheeler,
host of The Morning 'Zoo.
208
00:08:12,893 --> 00:08:14,427
How we feeling,
Jackrabbits?
209
00:08:14,528 --> 00:08:16,296
Let me guess.
It was a sports show.
210
00:08:16,396 --> 00:08:17,731
And current events.
211
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:20,200
I broke the story
about the campus streaker.
212
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:21,935
Were you the campus streaker?
213
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:24,471
No, but I might have been the
guy who convinced him to do it.
214
00:08:25,038 --> 00:08:26,540
Is that whole building
for science?
215
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,075
Yeah, and the one next to it.
216
00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:29,442
Spent a lot of time there.
217
00:08:29,543 --> 00:08:32,179
I thought you majored
in communications.
218
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:33,781
With a minor
in meteorology.
219
00:08:33,881 --> 00:08:35,248
(in radio voice):
We got a storm front
pushing through.
220
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:37,117
Bundle up, Jackrabbits.
221
00:08:37,217 --> 00:08:38,819
(normal voice):
I was gonna use the voice
one way or another.
222
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,055
I like that girl's hoodie.
223
00:08:42,155 --> 00:08:43,323
Hoodie, huh?
224
00:08:43,423 --> 00:08:45,258
Let's check out
the campus store.
225
00:08:45,358 --> 00:08:46,760
We'll get you some swag.
226
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,029
You know, that car of yours
would look real good
227
00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:50,831
with an SMU bumper sticker.
228
00:08:50,931 --> 00:08:54,001
But then in traffic
people will assume he goes here.
229
00:08:54,101 --> 00:08:57,605
God forbid anybody think
he went to my crappy school.
230
00:08:57,705 --> 00:08:59,039
Exactly.
231
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:00,674
I am glad you had
a great time here,
232
00:09:00,774 --> 00:09:02,643
but this place is
not right for Dele.
233
00:09:02,743 --> 00:09:04,878
What if Harvard isn't
right for him?
234
00:09:04,978 --> 00:09:06,346
Don't be ridiculous.
235
00:09:06,446 --> 00:09:07,781
Harvard is right for everyone
236
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:09,516
that is good enough to get in.
237
00:09:09,617 --> 00:09:11,018
That's elitist, you know that?
238
00:09:11,118 --> 00:09:12,019
Yes.
239
00:09:12,119 --> 00:09:13,821
That's not a good thing.
240
00:09:13,921 --> 00:09:15,155
Only for those
who are not elite.
241
00:09:15,255 --> 00:09:16,690
Oh, my God.
242
00:09:19,126 --> 00:09:20,961
Seems to be
a bike-friendly campus.
243
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:22,129
That's nice.
244
00:09:22,229 --> 00:09:23,463
Dele needs to go
to the best schools
245
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:24,598
to be successful.
246
00:09:24,698 --> 00:09:26,133
I went here and look at me.
247
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:28,669
I'm a seven-time Undergarment
Distributor of the Year.
248
00:09:28,769 --> 00:09:31,204
Dele does not have
the same advantages you had.
249
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:32,405
Hey, I paid my own way
250
00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:34,574
and busted my ass
the whole time.
251
00:09:34,675 --> 00:09:36,076
Look at this bench.
252
00:09:36,176 --> 00:09:38,211
"A gift of the class of 1980."
253
00:09:38,311 --> 00:09:39,512
Very generous.
254
00:09:39,613 --> 00:09:40,580
ABISHOLA: He needs
to go to a school
255
00:09:40,681 --> 00:09:42,382
that will open doors for him.
256
00:09:42,482 --> 00:09:44,517
This school opened doors for me.
257
00:09:44,618 --> 00:09:45,919
Yes, to your family's company.
258
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:47,921
And there it is.
Let's just forget it.
259
00:09:48,021 --> 00:09:50,057
Come on, let's go.
260
00:09:51,224 --> 00:09:54,662
Just so you know,
the Unabomber went to Harvard.
261
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:02,069
Theta Phi Zeta step.
OTHERS: Zeta step.
262
00:10:02,169 --> 00:10:03,403
(all grunt)
263
00:10:04,705 --> 00:10:05,906
Ah.
264
00:10:06,006 --> 00:10:07,808
Theta Phi.
OTHERS: Zeta.
265
00:10:07,908 --> 00:10:09,376
(all grunting rhythmically)
266
00:10:13,914 --> 00:10:15,716
Theta Phi.
OTHERS: Zeta.
267
00:10:15,816 --> 00:10:17,117
(all grunt)
268
00:10:17,217 --> 00:10:19,519
Yeah!
(scattered whoops)
269
00:10:22,756 --> 00:10:24,024
Thank you. That was so cool.
270
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:26,059
Yeah, you can't have him.
He's going to Harvard.
271
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,396
We should look at some of
these student organizations.
272
00:10:29,496 --> 00:10:31,298
Eh, you don't have to humor me.
273
00:10:31,398 --> 00:10:32,599
I think it would be
good for Dele
274
00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:35,002
to see some of the study
clubs he could join.
275
00:10:35,102 --> 00:10:37,304
I could join study clubs?
Awesome!
276
00:10:37,404 --> 00:10:39,506
Man, she did
a number on you.
277
00:10:39,606 --> 00:10:41,008
Hey, look at this.
278
00:10:41,108 --> 00:10:43,410
The Pan African
Students Association.
279
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:45,713
"Open to any and all students
interested in issues
280
00:10:45,813 --> 00:10:48,949
that involve and affect
the African diaspora."
281
00:10:49,049 --> 00:10:50,450
An important club like that
282
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:52,652
at an academic
cesspool like this?
283
00:10:52,753 --> 00:10:54,454
What are the chances?
284
00:10:55,522 --> 00:10:57,557
They have an engineering club.
285
00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:59,126
Oh, why don't you
check it out?
286
00:10:59,226 --> 00:11:00,427
See what they did wrong
to end up here.
287
00:11:00,527 --> 00:11:01,729
I'm gonna take Dele
to the library.
288
00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:04,131
Good idea.
289
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:06,900
I think it's that way.
290
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,201
College 101, kid.
291
00:11:08,301 --> 00:11:09,770
No matter where you are,
always tell your mom
292
00:11:09,870 --> 00:11:11,138
you were at the library.
293
00:11:11,238 --> 00:11:13,440
That's high school 101,
but okay.
294
00:11:16,777 --> 00:11:18,812
Goodwin.
Hello, Kofo.
295
00:11:18,912 --> 00:11:20,413
There is a shark among us.
296
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:22,049
We need to form an alliance.
297
00:11:22,149 --> 00:11:23,383
I have made it very clear
298
00:11:23,483 --> 00:11:26,319
that my policy is:
"Every man for himself."
299
00:11:27,287 --> 00:11:28,421
Wati has it out for Uncle Tunde.
300
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:30,958
I think his job is in trouble.
301
00:11:31,058 --> 00:11:32,359
Oh, no.
302
00:11:32,459 --> 00:11:34,127
What does Tunde do again?
303
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,663
Tale as old as time,
you know?
304
00:11:36,764 --> 00:11:40,167
New guard comes in,
starts trimming the fat.
305
00:11:40,267 --> 00:11:41,568
I've seen it
everywhere I've worked.
306
00:11:41,668 --> 00:11:44,171
You've only ever had one job
besides here.
307
00:11:44,271 --> 00:11:46,039
Well, now I've seen it
both places.
308
00:11:46,139 --> 00:11:47,941
Wati is not our enemy.
309
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:49,276
He is a resource.
310
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:51,711
A rising tide
lifts all boats.
311
00:11:51,812 --> 00:11:54,581
You know, as someone who's
almost drowned in a wave pool,
312
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:57,017
I am offended
by that saying.
313
00:11:57,117 --> 00:11:59,619
What do we do?
Is he going to fire everyone?
314
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:02,856
Well, not everyone.
(chuckles)
315
00:12:02,956 --> 00:12:04,925
Wheeler. Wheeler.
316
00:12:05,025 --> 00:12:06,426
CHRISTINA:
It's not fair that
317
00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:09,362
the people who've worked
so hard for so many years
318
00:12:09,462 --> 00:12:11,131
are the ones on
the chopping block.
319
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:13,934
I wish we could be chopped,
but again...
320
00:12:14,034 --> 00:12:15,769
Wheeler.
Wheeler.
321
00:12:15,869 --> 00:12:16,937
(whistle blows)
322
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:20,040
That means the meeting
is starting.
323
00:12:20,140 --> 00:12:22,009
Two whistles means
we are done.
324
00:12:22,109 --> 00:12:25,779
I need to get a whistle.
Let's begin.
325
00:12:42,529 --> 00:12:45,232
(upbeat music playing faintly)
(lively chatter)
326
00:12:45,332 --> 00:12:46,333
What do you think?
327
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:48,335
I'm in greasy heaven.
328
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:50,503
It's soggier than I remember,
329
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:52,139
but those memories
are a little hazy,
330
00:12:52,239 --> 00:12:54,407
if you know what I mean.
I do.
331
00:12:54,507 --> 00:12:55,742
Well, you shouldn't!
332
00:12:57,878 --> 00:13:00,147
I'm telling you, you're gonna be
a star in college.
333
00:13:00,247 --> 00:13:01,214
I hope so.
334
00:13:01,314 --> 00:13:02,282
I know so.
335
00:13:02,382 --> 00:13:03,616
You're smart, funny.
336
00:13:03,716 --> 00:13:05,152
People are gonna be lining up
to sit with you
337
00:13:05,252 --> 00:13:07,187
at one of these sticky tables.
338
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:08,989
Were they like this
when you were here?
339
00:13:09,089 --> 00:13:11,491
Again, I don't quite remember.
340
00:13:12,893 --> 00:13:14,461
A lot of change coming.
341
00:13:14,561 --> 00:13:16,296
Yeah.
342
00:13:16,396 --> 00:13:19,499
You know what makes a hard thing
impossible?
343
00:13:19,599 --> 00:13:22,502
Not really wanting to do it
in the first place.
344
00:13:23,837 --> 00:13:24,838
Can I ask you something?
345
00:13:24,938 --> 00:13:26,739
Sure.
346
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:29,309
Do you actually want to go
to Harvard?
347
00:13:29,409 --> 00:13:31,744
Uh, yeah, it's Harvard.
348
00:13:31,845 --> 00:13:33,046
All right,
I'm just checking,
349
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:34,848
'cause it's your decision.
350
00:13:34,948 --> 00:13:37,084
College is where you're gonna
meet lifelong friends
351
00:13:37,184 --> 00:13:38,618
and make incredible memories,
352
00:13:38,718 --> 00:13:41,521
and I want you to be
as happy there as I was here.
353
00:13:41,621 --> 00:13:42,956
Thanks.
354
00:13:43,056 --> 00:13:46,559
I know you'll make the right
choices wherever you go.
355
00:13:46,994 --> 00:13:48,628
Which will be Harvard.
356
00:13:50,097 --> 00:13:51,531
Can I ask you something?
357
00:13:51,631 --> 00:13:53,133
You can always talk to me.
358
00:13:53,233 --> 00:13:55,969
Do you think this ID looks
real enough to get me into bars?
359
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:57,537
Whoa.
360
00:13:57,637 --> 00:13:59,472
I thought we'd start with
"what are the best flip-flops
361
00:13:59,572 --> 00:14:01,508
to wear in the shower?"
362
00:14:01,608 --> 00:14:03,076
So...
363
00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:04,777
"Antonio."
364
00:14:04,878 --> 00:14:06,146
What's your birthday?
365
00:14:06,246 --> 00:14:08,181
July 6, 2004.
366
00:14:08,281 --> 00:14:09,682
You know that only
makes you 19, right?
367
00:14:09,782 --> 00:14:11,818
I don't plan to use it
until I'm in college.
368
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:13,486
(scoffs) God bless you,
369
00:14:13,586 --> 00:14:15,822
you even break the law
like a nerd.
370
00:14:16,656 --> 00:14:17,790
No, rookie mistake here.
371
00:14:17,891 --> 00:14:19,226
You made the address
too complicated.
372
00:14:19,326 --> 00:14:20,493
You're never gonna
remember this.
373
00:14:20,593 --> 00:14:23,997
57344 Greenwind, Apartment 304.
374
00:14:24,097 --> 00:14:26,766
Grand Rapids, Michigan, 49502.
375
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:28,969
This says Lansing.
No, it doesn't.
376
00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:31,504
You're good.
377
00:14:32,405 --> 00:14:34,207
Well, nice knowing you, Antonio. Hey.
378
00:14:34,307 --> 00:14:35,308
I thought you were cool.
379
00:14:35,408 --> 00:14:38,511
Me, too, bud. Me, too.
380
00:14:39,612 --> 00:14:42,515
Condoms! Condoms!
381
00:14:42,615 --> 00:14:44,751
Take a pamphlet,
get a free condom.
382
00:14:44,851 --> 00:14:48,288
So this school encourages
sexual debauchery.
383
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:50,357
Safe sexual debauchery.
384
00:14:50,457 --> 00:14:52,159
You are an authority figure.
385
00:14:52,259 --> 00:14:54,694
You should be setting a better
example for your students.
386
00:14:54,794 --> 00:14:57,597
Actually, I'm a freshman.
Is it the glasses?
387
00:14:57,697 --> 00:15:00,300
No, you just look old.
388
00:15:01,768 --> 00:15:03,036
I'm Wendy.
389
00:15:03,136 --> 00:15:05,072
Abishola.
390
00:15:05,172 --> 00:15:07,740
I dropped out years ago
when the kids came along.
391
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,677
Now is my chance to finally
go after my dream.
392
00:15:10,777 --> 00:15:12,579
Hmm.
393
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:15,382
I recently decided
to become a doctor.
394
00:15:16,083 --> 00:15:17,450
I am going to Johns Hopkins.
395
00:15:17,550 --> 00:15:20,120
Well, ain't you fancy?
396
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:22,422
Yes. I am.
397
00:15:22,522 --> 00:15:24,992
I can't imagine doing that
at our age.
398
00:15:25,092 --> 00:15:26,693
You are doing it.
399
00:15:26,793 --> 00:15:29,229
Here, where I've got
a scholarship and childcare
400
00:15:29,329 --> 00:15:30,697
to help with my youngest.
401
00:15:30,797 --> 00:15:32,299
At a cutthroat school
like Johns Hopkins,
402
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,968
I'd pretty much be on my own.
403
00:15:35,068 --> 00:15:39,606
Adversity creates pressure,
and pressure makes diamonds.
404
00:15:39,706 --> 00:15:41,441
I don't need my soul crushed,
405
00:15:41,541 --> 00:15:43,576
but if it works for you,
that's great.
406
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:44,844
It does.
407
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:46,513
Can you take a pamphlet?
408
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:49,882
I get an extra point in biochem
if I pawn off the whole stack.
409
00:15:49,983 --> 00:15:54,554
If you want a better grade,
you should study more.
410
00:15:57,057 --> 00:15:58,725
(sighs)
411
00:16:02,829 --> 00:16:05,632
Sure you don't want a condom?
412
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:08,501
Well, once again
I'm leaving
413
00:16:08,601 --> 00:16:11,338
without a degree,
but this was fun.
414
00:16:12,372 --> 00:16:13,740
I really enjoyed the library.
415
00:16:15,342 --> 00:16:16,909
It smells like
you were researching
416
00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:18,045
in the pepperoni section.
417
00:16:18,145 --> 00:16:19,746
It was Bob's idea!
418
00:16:19,846 --> 00:16:21,048
If you want to get
invited to parties,
419
00:16:21,148 --> 00:16:23,283
we got to work on
that, right there.
420
00:16:23,383 --> 00:16:25,218
I am glad
you two enjoyed the day.
421
00:16:25,318 --> 00:16:26,586
BOB:
What about you?
422
00:16:26,686 --> 00:16:28,388
Did have fun
picking apart my alma mater?
423
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:31,158
Hmm. It's actually
a lovely institution.
424
00:16:31,258 --> 00:16:32,259
For idiots.
425
00:16:32,359 --> 00:16:33,960
No, really.
426
00:16:34,061 --> 00:16:36,096
So, you could see Dele here?
427
00:16:36,196 --> 00:16:37,597
Of course not.
428
00:16:38,431 --> 00:16:40,833
But I could possibly go
to a place like this.
429
00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:44,737
If Johns Hopkins and
all the Ivy Leagues burned down.
430
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:47,174
I knew the campus
would win you over.
431
00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:49,542
Was it the quad?
It was the quad.
432
00:16:49,642 --> 00:16:52,745
I had a nice conversation
with a 40-year-old freshman.
433
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:54,214
And this is why we say:
434
00:16:54,314 --> 00:16:55,548
"Go Jackrabbits!"
435
00:16:55,648 --> 00:16:57,084
(horn honks)
436
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,753
I hope this trip made you feel
more prepared for college.
437
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:03,523
Definitely.
If a place like this seems cool,
438
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:04,791
imagine what it's like
439
00:17:04,891 --> 00:17:06,159
at a school
that's actually good.
440
00:17:06,259 --> 00:17:07,527
Mm-hmm.
441
00:17:08,328 --> 00:17:11,064
Et tu, Antonio?
442
00:17:19,906 --> 00:17:21,241
Hello, Goodwin.
443
00:17:21,341 --> 00:17:24,043
You will address me
as President Olayiwola.
444
00:17:24,144 --> 00:17:26,613
I will stick with Goodwin.
445
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:29,382
Just so you know,
I run the meetings,
446
00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:31,684
and I sit
at the end of the table.
447
00:17:32,819 --> 00:17:34,521
And when lunch
is brought in,
448
00:17:34,621 --> 00:17:37,157
I get my sandwich first.
449
00:17:37,257 --> 00:17:39,759
I am not here
to step on your toes.
450
00:17:39,859 --> 00:17:43,496
Bob has told me
many wonderful things about you.
451
00:17:43,596 --> 00:17:44,997
I see.
452
00:17:45,098 --> 00:17:47,400
You do not let feelings
cloud your decision-making.
453
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,302
That is true.
I have heard
454
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:50,803
inspiring stories about
455
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:53,740
how you push the workers
to the brink of exhaustion.
456
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,508
You're too kind.
457
00:17:55,608 --> 00:17:59,112
We Nigerians are not soft
when it comes to business.
458
00:17:59,212 --> 00:18:00,847
That is how it should be.
459
00:18:00,947 --> 00:18:02,014
It is...
460
00:18:02,115 --> 00:18:03,983
BOTH:
...all about the work.
461
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:05,752
(laughter)
462
00:18:05,852 --> 00:18:09,989
I'm sure you agree
this place must be streamlined.
463
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:11,391
I have told Mr. Wheeler this.
464
00:18:11,491 --> 00:18:13,393
Decisive action must be taken.
465
00:18:13,493 --> 00:18:15,094
It is like you are
reading my mind.
466
00:18:15,195 --> 00:18:17,597
We must cut
the dead weight.
467
00:18:17,697 --> 00:18:19,332
I see.
468
00:18:20,333 --> 00:18:22,169
Oh, let me know
if you need anything!
469
00:18:22,269 --> 00:18:24,504
My day is wide open!
470
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:26,539
Captioning sponsored by CBS
471
00:18:26,639 --> 00:18:28,275
and TOYOTA.
