Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,253 --> 00:00:04,653
The Carmichael Show
is recorded in front of
2
00:00:04,654 --> 00:00:06,044
a live studio audience.
3
00:00:06,041 --> 00:00:07,591
I'm just saying,
something has to be wrong
4
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,434
with Maxine's sister,
5
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:13,930
the way Maxine has kept her
away from us all this time.
6
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:16,144
You think she has
any deformities?
7
00:00:17,601 --> 00:00:19,101
What if she only
has one hand?
8
00:00:19,186 --> 00:00:22,146
Are we supposed
to shake her nub?
9
00:00:22,189 --> 00:00:23,609
Okay, relax, Ma.
10
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:25,440
I've met Casey before.
She doesn't have a nub.
11
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:27,186
If she had a nub,
don't you think
12
00:00:27,236 --> 00:00:28,486
I would have
led with that?
13
00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:30,028
Well...
14
00:00:30,072 --> 00:00:31,452
something got to
be wrong with her.
15
00:00:31,531 --> 00:00:34,541
I hope she don't have
none of that Asperger's.
16
00:00:34,576 --> 00:00:37,286
Lord knows,
17
00:00:37,371 --> 00:00:39,711
I don't do well with people
with Asperger's.
18
00:00:39,748 --> 00:00:41,668
See, I‐I get scared
19
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:43,500
that I'm gonna say
one of their trigger words,
20
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:47,134
so I get real quiet;
I shut down emotionally.
21
00:00:47,214 --> 00:00:50,344
I basically become a person
with Asperger's
22
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:53,224
around people with Asperger's.
23
00:00:53,262 --> 00:00:55,352
God, I hope they can
find a cure.
24
00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:59,389
Okay, there's nothing wrong
with Maxine's sister.
25
00:00:59,434 --> 00:01:01,354
You just haven't seen her
because she's been busy
26
00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:03,015
at school,
but she's a nice girl.
27
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:04,733
Like, I think you guys
will like her.
28
00:01:04,773 --> 00:01:07,323
She's like a...
quieter Maxine.
29
00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:11,411
Well, I like the idea
of a quieter Maxine.
30
00:01:11,446 --> 00:01:12,696
Well, look, i‐if there's
nothing wrong with her,
31
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:14,239
you'll set me up
with her, right?
32
00:01:14,283 --> 00:01:15,533
No.
33
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:18,543
You're selfish, Jerrod,
you know that?
34
00:01:20,539 --> 00:01:22,459
He was always a terrible sharer.
35
00:01:22,499 --> 00:01:25,539
Wouldn't let your brother,
Bobby, touch your Hot Wheels!
36
00:01:27,212 --> 00:01:29,172
Didn't want him touching
your Sega Dreamcast.
37
00:01:29,256 --> 00:01:31,676
Well, Jerrod, it stops here.
38
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:33,508
You gonna let your brother
have sex
39
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:36,054
with your girlfriend's sister.
That's final!
40
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:41,441
Hey, everyone.
41
00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:43,396
So, this is my little sister,
Casey.
42
00:01:43,437 --> 00:01:45,227
I'm so excited for you
to meet her.
43
00:01:45,272 --> 00:01:46,272
Here she is.
44
00:01:46,315 --> 00:01:47,565
Hey, Casey.
Meet my family.
45
00:01:47,607 --> 00:01:49,027
Nice to meet
everyone. Hi.
46
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:50,529
Wow, what a relief.
47
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:53,700
A nice firm handshake.
48
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:56,410
And she is making eye contact.
That's a good sign.
49
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:58,290
Come on.
Don't worry.
50
00:01:58,327 --> 00:02:00,697
Maxine already warned me that
you guys can be pretty direct.
51
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:03,417
Mm‐hmm.
Better than our parents who
would get drunk and ignore us.
52
00:02:03,498 --> 00:02:05,248
Anyway, can I use
your bathroom?
53
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:06,714
Uh...
Well, first of all,
54
00:02:06,793 --> 00:02:08,423
I got to know what you
gonna do in there.
55
00:02:08,462 --> 00:02:09,802
We got a problem
with the toilet.
56
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:11,628
Never mind, go ahead.
Go on, do your business.
57
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:13,383
Come on, Casey.
58
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:15,547
Hi.
59
00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:18,596
(chuckles)
Oh, my God.
60
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,769
What?
61
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:22,096
Look, either my eyes
are deceiving me
62
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:24,232
or Maxine's sister
is Caramel Diva
63
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:26,271
from the
Blue Diamond Strip Club.
64
00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:29,403
(scoffs)
Excuse me, what?
65
00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:32,743
Maxine, you brought
a sex worker into our home?
66
00:02:32,819 --> 00:02:36,159
I didn't. My sister
is not a stripper.
67
00:02:36,198 --> 00:02:38,118
Yes, she is.
I'd know that face anywhere.
68
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:41,578
That is Caramel Diva
using our bathroom right now.
69
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:44,789
But, look, my bad.
If you trying to keep this
70
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:46,793
a family secret,
I won't say another word.
71
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:49,745
No, this is not
some family secret.
72
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:51,416
And being a stripper is
nothing to be ashamed of.
73
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:52,795
I'm just saying that you
have my sister confused
74
00:02:52,839 --> 00:02:54,339
with someone else.
75
00:02:54,383 --> 00:02:56,093
Yeah, and, Bobby,
if you're at strip clubs
76
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:58,466
looking at the women's faces,
you're doing it wrong.
77
00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:04,350
Well, look, when I was going
through my divorce,
78
00:03:04,393 --> 00:03:06,273
one of my friends
took me to the strip club
79
00:03:06,353 --> 00:03:07,813
to get over my depression.
80
00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:10,154
And that woman in that bathroom,
Caramel Diva,
81
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:13,740
grinded on me for $45.
82
00:03:15,821 --> 00:03:18,321
Okay? And it made me
feel special.
83
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:20,695
That lap dance,
(sighs)
84
00:03:20,742 --> 00:03:23,622
it felt like my own private
Tony Robbins seminar.
85
00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:27,174
It changed everything for me.
86
00:03:27,249 --> 00:03:29,789
Well, I'm happy for you,
Bobby, but it wasn't her.
87
00:03:29,876 --> 00:03:31,456
Well, there's only
one way to settle this.
88
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:33,625
Somebody go knock
on that bathroom door
89
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:36,513
and ask her, does she take
her clothes off for money?
90
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:37,680
On it, Momma.
91
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:39,797
No! No.
92
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:41,806
No one is asking my sister
if she is a stripper.
93
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:43,468
Yeah, you can't just ask
somebody if they're a stripper.
94
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:45,177
That's rude.
95
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:46,845
That's right up there
with asking a burn victim,
96
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:48,853
"What the hell happened
to your face?"
97
00:03:48,895 --> 00:03:52,475
Now, the polite thing to do
98
00:03:52,566 --> 00:03:56,146
is to look away and pretend
that they don't exist.
99
00:04:03,577 --> 00:04:05,327
What?
100
00:04:05,412 --> 00:04:09,882
(laughs) Come on, girl,
stop playing games.
101
00:04:09,958 --> 00:04:12,248
I know who you are...
102
00:04:12,294 --> 00:04:13,594
and you know
who you are.
103
00:04:13,628 --> 00:04:14,748
MAXINE:
Bobby.
104
00:04:14,796 --> 00:04:16,416
I'm sorry.
105
00:04:16,465 --> 00:04:18,835
For some reason, he
thinks you're a stripper.
106
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:22,675
Maxine, we need to talk.
107
00:04:22,763 --> 00:04:25,433
Oh, my God.
108
00:04:25,474 --> 00:04:26,734
Ha!
109
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:30,732
♪ ♪
110
00:04:33,774 --> 00:04:35,864
♪ ♪
111
00:04:48,163 --> 00:04:50,623
How could you be a stripper?
Ugh, it's so degrading.
112
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:52,424
It's beneath you.
You're smart.
113
00:04:52,459 --> 00:04:53,589
You should be in school.
114
00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:54,877
Maxine, it's
not degrading.
115
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:57,549
And you don't have the right to
tell me what to do with my life.
116
00:04:57,631 --> 00:04:58,881
And do you really want
to have this conversation
117
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:00,545
in front of
Jerrod's family?
118
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:02,724
Well, we already know that
you grinded on my son,
119
00:05:02,803 --> 00:05:05,263
so I think we're
a little past privacy.
120
00:05:05,305 --> 00:05:07,425
Maxine,
121
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:08,434
don't be so hard
on your sister.
122
00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:10,774
I mean, weren't you
just saying a few minutes ago
123
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:12,601
that stripping is
nothing to be ashamed of?
124
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:13,976
Yeah, it's nothing
to be ashamed of
125
00:05:14,022 --> 00:05:15,942
unless you are
my little sister.
126
00:05:15,982 --> 00:05:18,742
We used to hold hands
and go ice skating together.
127
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:23,909
Ice skating? Whoo,
rich people are something else.
128
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,950
Maxine, you can't be someone who
says that they're open‐minded
129
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:27,622
when it comes to stripping...
(sighs)
130
00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:29,701
...and that it's just women
owning their sexuality,
131
00:05:29,788 --> 00:05:31,828
and then change your mind
the second you find out
132
00:05:31,873 --> 00:05:33,503
it's someone close to you.
133
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:35,962
I mean, every stripper
is someone's baby sister,
134
00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:40,722
or daughter,
or young hot aunt.
135
00:05:40,799 --> 00:05:43,299
Now, listen, young lady, I don't
want to come off aggressive.
136
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:44,933
I know we just met.
137
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:47,761
But if I was your mother,
I'd kill myself.
138
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:53,767
All right, let's
go easy on her.
139
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:55,814
Let's not forget
that she provides
140
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:57,646
a very necessary
service.
141
00:05:57,691 --> 00:05:58,941
Oh, Joe.
142
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:00,645
Well, somebody's
got to strip.
143
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:02,994
I always said cities
can not function
144
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:05,119
without hospitals
or strip clubs.
145
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:09,038
That's the reason they
both open on Christmas.
146
00:06:09,077 --> 00:06:10,827
So, Joe, if you had a daughter,
147
00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:13,041
you would be fine
with her stripping?
148
00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:14,751
Well, God blessed
me with sons
149
00:06:14,791 --> 00:06:16,461
because He knew I
wasn't strong enough
150
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:18,633
to face that question.
151
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:21,672
Casey, what happened?
Why are you doing this?
152
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:23,045
Are you trying to piss off Dad?
153
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:25,011
No, I choose
to do this.
154
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:27,011
I like dancing.
It's good money.
155
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:29,813
I feel sexy and I'm
really good at it.
156
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:31,980
Yep, I can
attest to that.
157
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:33,808
(sighs)
Look, Caramel Diva,
158
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:36,404
you are one of the most talented
dancers I've ever seen.
159
00:06:36,438 --> 00:06:38,058
In fact, I think you're
a better dancer
160
00:06:38,106 --> 00:06:39,856
than Maxine is a therapist.
161
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:41,860
You made me
feel better
162
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:44,032
about myself in 15 minutes
163
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:48,490
than Maxine has done
after years of conversations.
164
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:51,535
You're not only a great dancer,
you a healer.
165
00:06:53,747 --> 00:06:55,707
You are too beautiful
to be a stripper.
166
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:58,750
Now, seeing a beautiful
stripper is like
167
00:06:58,793 --> 00:07:01,763
seeing an Asian man
working at McDonald's.
168
00:07:01,796 --> 00:07:04,716
I just want to
grab him and say,
169
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:06,888
"You don't need
to do this.
170
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:11,006
People that look like you
are supposed to do better."
171
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:14,057
Cynthia, that was
extremely racist,
172
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:15,940
but I agree
with the sentiment.
173
00:07:15,977 --> 00:07:19,107
Casey, this woman and I have
never agreed on anything.
174
00:07:19,147 --> 00:07:22,397
And we dislike what you're doing
so much that it's uniting us.
175
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:24,572
It's true.
We don't get along.
176
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:27,571
In fact, I was actually in
Trader Joe's the other day,
177
00:07:27,614 --> 00:07:31,744
saw Maxine, didn't speak to her
like she was a stranger.
178
00:07:33,078 --> 00:07:34,828
That was you.
179
00:07:36,831 --> 00:07:38,831
JOE:
Now, Maxine,
180
00:07:38,875 --> 00:07:40,535
before you go trying to decide
181
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:42,587
that what your sister's doing
is right or wrong,
182
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:46,549
we need to ask her the most
important question of all:
183
00:07:46,633 --> 00:07:49,593
Casey, how much money
do you make, uh, stripping?
184
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:52,556
(chuckles)
That's a good question, Daddy.
185
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:55,139
Um, I... I really,
I don't want to.
186
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:56,433
Joe, don't be rude.
187
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:57,766
Now, she don't need
to tell us
188
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,441
how much money
she makes a year,
189
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,649
but is it over $60,000?
190
00:08:01,690 --> 00:08:03,650
Cynthia.
191
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:05,072
I am collecting data.
192
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:07,111
We're trying
to help you, Maxine.
193
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:09,778
So is it over $60?
194
00:08:09,823 --> 00:08:11,783
I mean, we ain't
talking $70, are we?
195
00:08:11,825 --> 00:08:13,445
Um...
196
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:15,623
Oh, my God.
She makes over $70,000?
197
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:17,662
Okay. Casey,
I'm sorry.
198
00:08:17,706 --> 00:08:22,036
My family will stop asking
if you just tell us.
199
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:27,921
Okay. If you
really need to know,
200
00:08:28,007 --> 00:08:30,177
last year I
made $92,000.
201
00:08:30,218 --> 00:08:32,178
Sweet Shepard of Jesus.
Get out of town!
202
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:34,510
JERROD:
Oh, wow. Oh‐ho.
203
00:08:34,556 --> 00:08:36,766
I mean, who are we
to criticize Casey?
204
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:38,640
I mean, if she went
back to high school
205
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:40,845
and told her guidance counselor
she made $92,000 a year,
206
00:08:40,895 --> 00:08:42,145
her guidance counselor
would quit
207
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,768
and start
stripping herself.
208
00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:47,649
Hey, everybody.
Hey, Nekeisha.
209
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:49,154
Hi.
Hey.
Wait a minute.
210
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:51,655
Caramel Diva,
is that you?
211
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:54,783
How many people in this house
212
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:56,828
are regulars at this strip club?
213
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:59,160
Uh, well, I'm not a regular.
I just brought Bobby there
214
00:08:59,247 --> 00:09:01,537
when he was having trouble
getting over the divorce.
215
00:09:01,583 --> 00:09:03,133
Caramel Diva,
what are you doing here?
216
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:04,459
I'm Maxine's sister.
217
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:06,004
My real name is Casey.
218
00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:07,706
Oh, well, that's gonna
be hard to remember
219
00:09:07,756 --> 00:09:09,166
since I met you
as Caramel Diva
220
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:11,005
and that really
stuck with me.
221
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:13,181
I'm just gonna keep calling
you Caramel Diva, okay?
222
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:16,179
Uh, wait a minute.
223
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:19,182
Bobby, you mean to tell me
224
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:22,555
the friend who took
you to a strip club
225
00:09:22,604 --> 00:09:25,024
to help you get over your
divorce from Nekeisha
226
00:09:25,065 --> 00:09:27,605
was Nekeisha?
227
00:09:29,194 --> 00:09:31,034
Well, somebody had to,
okay?
228
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:32,861
I was devastated.
229
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:35,696
I was crying for, like,
six days straight.
230
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:40,082
I was afraid I was gonna cry out
all the sodium out my body.
231
00:09:40,121 --> 00:09:43,041
Maxine, why didn't you tell us
your sister was a dancer?
232
00:09:43,124 --> 00:09:44,884
Because I didn't know.
233
00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:47,088
Clearly, she was
too ashamed to tell me.
234
00:09:47,128 --> 00:09:49,758
I'm not ashamed. I just didn't
want to deal with all this.
235
00:09:49,798 --> 00:09:51,218
Look how judgmental
you're being.
236
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:54,217
See, this is the exact
behavior that keeps women
237
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:55,890
from moving forward
in society.
238
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:57,559
We don't need men
to tear us down,
239
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:59,927
'cause we doing it to ourselves!
240
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:01,564
I am not
tearing her down,
241
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:03,351
but I'm concerned
with the negative impact
242
00:10:03,436 --> 00:10:06,226
that degrading herself will have
on her for years to come.
243
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:08,192
(scoffs) Enough
with the therapy.
244
00:10:08,274 --> 00:10:09,734
For once, I
would love it
245
00:10:09,776 --> 00:10:11,106
if you could try
to understand me
246
00:10:11,152 --> 00:10:13,242
instead of trying to
judge me all the time.
247
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,369
Yes, I hate when
she does that.
248
00:10:16,741 --> 00:10:19,581
You should have seen the
judgmental look she gave me
249
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:22,789
when I said dog‐fighting
wasn't no big deal.
250
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:28,746
Casey, all I have ever
tried to do is protect you.
251
00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:30,585
You know that we couldn't rely
on Mom and Dad.
252
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:32,260
They're alcoholic narcissists.
253
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:34,758
There you go
judging again.
254
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:36,891
They are party people.
255
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:39,100
Ain't nothing
wrong with that.
256
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:41,099
Maxine...
(groans)
257
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:43,391
...this is the problem
with our relationship.
258
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:45,396
We're not as close
as you think we are.
259
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:48,058
Uh, I don't even think
of you as a sister.
260
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:50,938
You feel more like
a second mom to me.
261
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:52,654
That's why I don't
share things with you
262
00:10:52,694 --> 00:10:54,574
and why I don't come
around too often.
263
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:55,914
MAXINE:
Look, Casey, I want us
264
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:57,569
to have a healthy
relationship.
265
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:01,407
But how can I not judge you?
I mean, you are stripping.
266
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,294
Maxine, I've heard you
defend stripping before,
267
00:11:03,329 --> 00:11:05,329
saying it's just
women taking control
268
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:07,883
over the exploitation
of their own bodies.
269
00:11:07,917 --> 00:11:10,297
And as a feminist
myself, I am offended
270
00:11:10,336 --> 00:11:12,006
by how hypocritical
you're being.
271
00:11:12,046 --> 00:11:13,296
JOE: Jerrod,
you have never
272
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:15,009
said nor done anything
273
00:11:15,049 --> 00:11:18,799
in support of a feminist
cause in your entire life.
274
00:11:18,845 --> 00:11:21,255
But that's what you can do,
you can just label yourself
275
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:23,637
a feminist and be one?
276
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:28,443
Well, if Rachel Dolezal gets
to be black by just saying it,
277
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:32,651
I guess Jerrod gets
to be a feminist.
278
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:33,742
NEKEISHA:
Maxine, it's easy
279
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:36,779
to judge when you don't have
firsthand experience.
280
00:11:36,863 --> 00:11:38,203
Maybe you should walk a mile
281
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:42,159
in your sister's
clear plastic hooker heels.
282
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:43,162
You mean strip?
283
00:11:43,203 --> 00:11:44,833
Mm‐hmm.
284
00:11:44,871 --> 00:11:46,751
Oh, please.
My sister
285
00:11:46,789 --> 00:11:48,329
would never do that.
286
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:50,666
Judging something without
any facts or experience
287
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:52,670
is one of her
favorite things to do.
288
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:54,462
Oh, she does
do that a lot.
289
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:58,467
But, uh, as a feminist, I really
shouldn't criticize a woman.
290
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:01,221
Wow, it really
is that easy.
291
00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:04,182
See, Jerrod, now
I'm a feminist!
292
00:12:05,183 --> 00:12:07,813
So, if I went
and stripped,
293
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,194
that would mean
you would actually listen
294
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:11,059
to my opinions and my concerns?
295
00:12:11,105 --> 00:12:14,145
Maxine, your sister
is not asking you to strip.
296
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:15,824
Yes, I am.
297
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:18,362
Look, at least I'd
know that you cared
298
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:20,414
and that you were coming
from a place of experience
299
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:22,028
instead of just judgment.
300
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:24,695
Or you could be like
normal sisters
301
00:12:24,744 --> 00:12:27,754
and talk things out
over a pedicure or something.
302
00:12:27,789 --> 00:12:30,039
You don't think
I'm gonna do this.
303
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:31,834
I know you
won't do this.
304
00:12:31,918 --> 00:12:33,668
I'm gonna do it.
305
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:36,013
What are you... what are
you doing? Just go to brunch.
306
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:37,719
Get‐get some champagne,
some mimosas.
307
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:41,757
Use my credit card.
It's on me, y'all, come on.
308
00:12:41,803 --> 00:12:44,223
Oh, no, brother,
they not going to brunch.
309
00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:47,234
Mm‐mm.
She about to get butt naked.
310
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:51,404
Caramel Diva is now
The Sisters Caramel.
311
00:13:01,155 --> 00:13:05,405
All right, what do you think
of this for my stripping outfit?
312
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:07,040
You look like Morticia
from The Addams Family.
313
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,330
You're not doing this,
Maxine. This is insane.
314
00:13:09,372 --> 00:13:10,622
Yes, I am, Jerrod.
315
00:13:10,665 --> 00:13:12,165
This is gonna mean a lot
to my sister.
316
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:13,538
And you said yourself,
she needs to know
317
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:15,206
that I'm not just judging her.
318
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:16,915
(sighs)
Okay,
what do you think
319
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:19,093
of this song for my dance?
320
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:22,262
(playing "The Freshmen"
by The Verve Pipe)
321
00:13:29,058 --> 00:13:30,938
♪ When I was young, I knew ♪
322
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:32,267
(music stops)
Okay, Maxine,
323
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:33,562
what the hell
was that?
324
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:34,436
What?
325
00:13:35,273 --> 00:13:36,233
Just the fact
that you know that song
326
00:13:37,275 --> 00:13:39,065
reminds me that we had
very different childhoods.
327
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:40,952
Well, if I'm gonna be stripping,
328
00:13:40,987 --> 00:13:42,947
it needs to be
to something emotional.
329
00:13:42,989 --> 00:13:44,319
Strip clubs
are depressing enough
330
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:45,575
when they're playing Drake!
331
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:47,448
People are gonna
kill themselves to that!
332
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:49,913
Here's the thing,
Maxine.
333
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:51,958
Every man wants a woman
334
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,330
that other men fantasize
about seeing naked.
335
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:57,455
But you don't want those guys to
actually get a chance to see it.
336
00:13:57,503 --> 00:14:00,133
Especially
for a $15 admission.
337
00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:02,343
That's right, it only costs $15
to get into that place.
338
00:14:02,383 --> 00:14:04,013
You are exposing yourself
for the price
339
00:14:04,052 --> 00:14:06,932
of a 12‐piece
at Popeyes.
340
00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:09,813
Weren't you the one
defending my sister,
341
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:12,229
saying that stripping
was an okay thing to do?
342
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:14,310
I was lying!
Stripping is degrading,
343
00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:16,983
and everybody knows that.
It's weird that it's even legal.
344
00:14:17,023 --> 00:14:18,483
Look, look, Maxine, I
realize that I'm as big
345
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:20,324
of a hypocrite as you.
346
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:22,279
I had no problem with stripping
until someone that I love
347
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:24,491
decided to do it, and now I have
a huge problem with it.
348
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,160
So please stop
before somebody gets hurt.
349
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,530
Look, I'm sorry,
but this isn't about you.
350
00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:30,496
This is about me being there
for my sister
351
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:33,536
and trying to
keep my family together.
352
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:35,541
Are you telling me
353
00:14:35,583 --> 00:14:40,883
that you are stripping
to save your family?
354
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:43,012
Yeah.
355
00:14:43,049 --> 00:14:45,129
I guess that is
what I'm trying to do.
356
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:45,968
(sighs)
Now,
357
00:14:46,761 --> 00:14:48,181
I'm trying to work
on my stripper name.
358
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:50,311
So, what do you
like better?
359
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:53,059
Double Dip or...
360
00:14:53,101 --> 00:14:54,561
Wet Sprinkle?
361
00:14:54,602 --> 00:14:58,022
Ugh, Maxine, this
is just disgusting.
362
00:14:58,064 --> 00:15:00,234
Well, I think I'm gonna go
with Wet Sprinkle, all right?
363
00:15:00,274 --> 00:15:02,194
Love you. I won't be too late.
364
00:15:02,235 --> 00:15:04,525
Maxine, don't just kiss me
and say you love me
365
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:06,570
like everything's fine.
Maxine,
366
00:15:06,614 --> 00:15:08,494
I'm trying to protect you, okay?
367
00:15:08,574 --> 00:15:10,034
It's a brutal industry!
368
00:15:10,076 --> 00:15:13,036
You don't have the heart
to be a stripper!
369
00:15:13,079 --> 00:15:15,959
You got no pain
to draw from, Maxine!
370
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:17,458
Maxine!
371
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,380
(knocking on door)
372
00:15:19,418 --> 00:15:23,378
Hey, um, can I talk to
you guys for a minute?
373
00:15:23,422 --> 00:15:28,342
Maxine, why you look like
a prostitute Inspector Gadget?
374
00:15:31,097 --> 00:15:34,097
You really are going to that
amateur night, aren't you?
375
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:35,392
Yeah.
(chuckles softly)
376
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:37,064
Man, this stripping
is turning into
377
00:15:37,103 --> 00:15:39,613
the family business in
front of our very eyes.
378
00:15:39,647 --> 00:15:42,067
I don't even know
if this is even gonna help,
379
00:15:42,108 --> 00:15:44,238
but I don't know
what else to do.
380
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:46,027
(sighs) I can't believe
I'm gonna say this,
381
00:15:46,112 --> 00:15:48,912
but I wish my family
was more like yours.
382
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,368
Of course you do.
383
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:53,369
Everybody likes to borrow things
from black culture,
384
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:56,212
'cause we so fun
and cool.
385
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:01,250
No, not the culture.
386
00:16:01,294 --> 00:16:04,134
Also, I'm black.
387
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:08,262
For the sake of
argument, sure. Go on.
388
00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:11,635
I just want the closeness
you all have, you know?
389
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:14,599
You guys are able to criticize
each other and disagree
390
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,390
without it ruining
your relationships.
391
00:16:17,476 --> 00:16:19,396
The last time my sister and I
got in an argument,
392
00:16:19,478 --> 00:16:21,058
we didn't speak
for seven months.
393
00:16:21,147 --> 00:16:22,767
CYNTHIA:
Seven months?
394
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:24,775
Jerrod stole
Bobby's first girlfriend
395
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:27,607
and Bobby forgave him
by dinnertime.
396
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:32,123
You see, Maxine, we had the
benefit of living without money.
397
00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:35,618
Nothing unites a family more
than financial struggle.
398
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:38,331
You really don't know how much
you need another family member
399
00:16:38,372 --> 00:16:42,462
until your cable bill
is in your son's name.
400
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:46,011
He's right. Our family
grew up in a small house.
401
00:16:46,047 --> 00:16:47,627
We couldn't
avoid each other.
402
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:49,633
Now, you grew up
in a big house.
403
00:16:49,675 --> 00:16:53,635
When your family would fight,
they could just storm off
404
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:55,469
and go to separate rooms.
405
00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:58,354
That's why Brad
and Angelina didn't make it.
406
00:16:58,392 --> 00:17:00,352
Their house
had too many rooms.
407
00:17:00,394 --> 00:17:03,274
And even with all those
international kids,
408
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:06,606
they couldn't fill up
that place.
409
00:17:08,778 --> 00:17:10,778
So what am I
supposed to do?
410
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,623
Okay, Maxine, you
got to pretend
411
00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:15,988
that you come
from a poor family.
412
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:18,365
Say what you got to
say to your sister,
413
00:17:18,412 --> 00:17:20,582
but criticize
her to her face.
414
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:23,213
Yes, you got to
call her names.
415
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:26,801
You know, like, "harlot, slut!"
You know, things like that.
416
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:30,169
And after it's all
over, you sit down
417
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:32,796
and you have dinner together,
'cause that's what families do.
418
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:36,505
You disagree, you fight,
but then you stick together.
419
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:38,676
Part of it is
love, but, also,
420
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:40,524
part of it is circumstance,
like I said.
421
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,810
You know why Bobby and
Jerrod are so close?
422
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:46,686
Because they
shared a car,
423
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:49,742
a bathroom, one
pair of dress shoes.
424
00:17:49,777 --> 00:17:51,527
You know, them
boys never could
425
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:55,031
go to a funeral
at the same time.
426
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:57,994
And know this, Maxine,
427
00:17:58,077 --> 00:18:01,407
whether or not you choose
to be disgusting tonight
428
00:18:01,455 --> 00:18:04,075
and take all your clothes off
for men,
429
00:18:04,125 --> 00:18:07,245
and crawl around
on your hands and knees,
430
00:18:07,295 --> 00:18:11,255
picking up sweaty dollar bills
from the floor,
431
00:18:11,299 --> 00:18:15,549
you are still welcome
for dinner here.
432
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:18,255
Well, thank you.
433
00:18:18,306 --> 00:18:20,516
After you shower.
434
00:18:24,895 --> 00:18:27,395
(knocks)
Hey.
435
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,110
Oh, my God, Maxine.
436
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:32,570
It means so much to me
that you are doing this.
437
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:35,162
Look, Casey,
we need to talk.
438
00:18:35,239 --> 00:18:37,239
We can't just shut each other
out because we disagree.
439
00:18:37,283 --> 00:18:39,623
We are sisters; we need to learn
how to criticize each other
440
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:41,250
and still have a relationship.
441
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:42,827
So you're not going out there?
442
00:18:42,872 --> 00:18:45,172
Well, it shouldn't matter
whether or not I go out there.
443
00:18:45,207 --> 00:18:46,497
We need to love
each other
444
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:48,752
and stand by each
other no matter what.
445
00:18:48,794 --> 00:18:50,214
I should be able
to call you a slut
446
00:18:50,296 --> 00:18:51,586
and still have dinner with you.
447
00:18:51,631 --> 00:18:54,591
Did you just call me a slut?
448
00:18:54,634 --> 00:18:56,304
Kind of.
449
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:58,894
Look, my point is, maybe I am
a little bit hard on you
450
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:00,561
and too overprotective.
451
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,600
But you need to take
responsibility for being the one
452
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,562
who shuts me out
every time things get hard.
453
00:19:04,644 --> 00:19:07,904
Because us not being close
can't be all on me.
454
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,770
Well, I don't know
any other way.
455
00:19:09,815 --> 00:19:11,725
We had terrible parents.
456
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:13,687
Obviously, they could
have done better.
457
00:19:13,778 --> 00:19:18,118
We're both standing
backstage at a strip club.
458
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:20,487
Look, no matter what is
going on in your life,
459
00:19:20,534 --> 00:19:23,454
whether or not I agree with
it, I am going to be here.
460
00:19:23,496 --> 00:19:25,956
And if you want us to have
a good relationship,
461
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,960
then you need to
be here, too.
462
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,300
DEEJAY: Who's ready
for amateur night?
463
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:34,587
Making her Blue Diamond
Strip Club debut,
464
00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:38,804
it's Wet Sprinkle!
465
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:41,354
(playing "The Freshmen"
by The Verve Pipe)
466
00:19:41,389 --> 00:19:43,219
Well?
467
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:53,234
Thanks, fellas.
Have a good time.
468
00:19:53,234 --> 00:19:54,824
Hey, my man.
I'm looking
469
00:19:54,819 --> 00:19:56,489
for my girlfriend; she's
stripping for amateur night.
470
00:19:56,529 --> 00:19:57,989
Ah, man, I wish you wouldn't
have told me that.
471
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:00,320
Now I can't let you in here.
472
00:20:00,366 --> 00:20:02,276
What are you talking about?
Why not?
473
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:04,328
We got a strict no boyfriend
policy on amateur night.
474
00:20:04,370 --> 00:20:06,580
See, when a guy sees his girl
take her clothes off
475
00:20:06,622 --> 00:20:08,872
for the first time
in a room full of strange men,
476
00:20:08,916 --> 00:20:10,786
they got a tendency
to shoot up the place.
477
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:14,458
See that bullet hole
right there?
478
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:16,797
That's from a boyfriend in 2010.
479
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:19,472
Went right by my face.
480
00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:21,892
Anyway, that's why
I can't let you in here.
481
00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:24,009
Jerrod, what are you doing here?
482
00:20:24,056 --> 00:20:25,386
Maxine,
483
00:20:25,433 --> 00:20:27,643
I was at home,
just trying to accept this.
484
00:20:27,727 --> 00:20:30,557
And I‐I just couldn't,
okay? I love you,
485
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:32,404
and I don't want
to share you.
486
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,400
So please tell me you didn't
go through with this.
487
00:20:34,442 --> 00:20:37,032
I almost didn't.
488
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,739
Maxine, what the hell?
489
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:42,659
I told you I needed to
strip to save my family.
490
00:20:42,742 --> 00:20:46,662
Nobody has ever had to
strip to save their family.
491
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:48,866
I met a lot of single
mothers backstage
492
00:20:48,956 --> 00:20:50,416
who would beg to differ.
493
00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:53,035
Well...
494
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:55,625
did you make
a lot of money?
495
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:59,879
Jerrod...
496
00:20:59,925 --> 00:21:03,385
we can finally
go to Hawaii.
497
00:21:03,429 --> 00:21:07,349
All right, well, let's get
out of here, Wet Sprinkle.
498
00:21:25,618 --> 00:21:27,408
We don't have to ever speak of
this.
499
00:21:27,453 --> 00:21:29,583
