00:17:22,726 --> 00:17:25,159
- (both chuckle)
- I get no complaints.
349
00:17:25,228 --> 00:17:26,861
Well, come to Chicago
and that'll change.
350
00:17:26,930 --> 00:17:28,496
James over here?
351
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:34,168
- (soul music continues)
- James.
352
00:17:39,776 --> 00:17:41,142
(laughs)
353
00:17:42,612 --> 00:17:46,514
Quote is 25 grand.
Two songs, half up front.
354
00:17:46,583 --> 00:17:49,283
That's not how it works.
Mr. Bobbitt, it's TV.
355
00:17:49,352 --> 00:17:50,992
We pay a set fee in
exchange for exposure.
356
00:17:51,016 --> 00:17:53,154
It's the same deal as
American Bandstand.
357
00:17:53,223 --> 00:17:54,989
You ain't American Bandstand.
358
00:17:55,058 --> 00:17:57,892
Come back when you
learn the game.
359
00:17:57,961 --> 00:18:00,962
Mr. Bobbitt.
360
00:18:01,030 --> 00:18:02,530
I was promised a sit-down
361
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:07,168
with James Brown and that
is exactly what I expect.
362
00:18:07,237 --> 00:18:10,204
What?
You boys supposed to scare me?
363
00:18:10,273 --> 00:18:11,553
You look like
you're new at this,
364
00:18:11,608 --> 00:18:13,648
so let me give you a piece of advice.
You walk away.
365
00:18:13,672 --> 00:18:15,443
- Walk away now.
- All right, okay, fellas.
366
00:18:15,512 --> 00:18:17,178
Come on, not tonight.
Not in my club.
367
00:18:17,247 --> 00:18:19,147
Charlie, come on now,
call off the dogs.
368
00:18:19,215 --> 00:18:20,915
Brothers,
next round's on the house, huh?
369
00:18:20,984 --> 00:18:24,986
See? That's how you do business.
370
00:18:25,054 --> 00:18:27,021
Come on, guys.
371
00:18:27,090 --> 00:18:29,791
Uh-uh, uh-uh. So you just gonna
372
00:18:29,859 --> 00:18:32,293
take on the whole damn crew?
15 brothers, guns and all?
373
00:18:32,362 --> 00:18:34,495
- If I have to.
- Look at you, man.
374
00:18:34,564 --> 00:18:36,564
All right, look.
No crew. No piece.
375
00:18:36,633 --> 00:18:38,866
Brother, half the people in
here can make you disappear
376
00:18:38,935 --> 00:18:40,334
and the cops wouldn't blink.
377
00:18:40,403 --> 00:18:42,370
And you don't give a damn?
378
00:18:43,807 --> 00:18:45,606
Where'd you serve?
379
00:18:45,675 --> 00:18:48,509
Korea. Army. 751st.
380
00:18:48,578 --> 00:18:52,547
Korea. Navy. USS Missouri.
Gerald Aims.
381
00:18:54,484 --> 00:18:57,018
- Don Cornelius.
- All right, Don.
382
00:18:57,086 --> 00:19:01,155
Let me buy you a drink.
Keep you from getting your ass killed.
383
00:19:01,224 --> 00:19:02,657
You're late.
384
00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:05,526
Sorry, Ma Mable.
I'll close tonight.
385
00:19:05,582 --> 00:19:07,022
You bet your sweet
backside you will.
386
00:19:07,046 --> 00:19:08,412
I can close up.
387
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:11,666
Boy, you can't even handle
the hours I'm giving you.
388
00:19:11,734 --> 00:19:14,068
I can now. I need this.
389
00:19:14,137 --> 00:19:16,037
What you need to do
is bus them tables.
390
00:19:16,105 --> 00:19:17,872
And we'll talk hours later.
391
00:19:17,941 --> 00:19:20,174
So let me get this straight.
392
00:19:20,243 --> 00:19:22,276
You losing the human
perm over there
393
00:19:22,345 --> 00:19:23,744
means you lose your Music Train?
394
00:19:23,813 --> 00:19:25,179
- Soul Train.
- Whatever.
395
00:19:25,248 --> 00:19:28,082
- Soul Train.
- All right, Soul Train.
396
00:19:28,151 --> 00:19:32,119
He's my top ten act.
I lose him, I lose syndication.
397
00:19:32,188 --> 00:19:33,454
Whole lot of money.
398
00:19:34,557 --> 00:19:37,959
Bullshit.
399
00:19:38,027 --> 00:19:39,160
Look.
400
00:19:40,897 --> 00:19:43,965
That glass...
401
00:19:44,033 --> 00:19:46,133
is it half empty or half drunk?
402
00:19:46,202 --> 00:19:48,269
You mean half full?
403
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,472
Ah!
404
00:19:51,541 --> 00:19:54,575
How about this one?
Half drunk or half full?
405
00:19:54,644 --> 00:19:58,012
Half empty.
406
00:20:00,617 --> 00:20:01,949
Ah! Oh, it's neither.
407
00:20:02,018 --> 00:20:04,652
- (laughs)
- Or it's both. Get it?
408
00:20:04,721 --> 00:20:06,120
See, it don't matter
409
00:20:06,189 --> 00:20:09,757
'cause it's all
about perspective.
410
00:20:09,826 --> 00:20:14,929
Now see, you think Soul
Man is all you've got.
411
00:20:14,998 --> 00:20:17,565
But if he's a top-ten act,
412
00:20:17,634 --> 00:20:21,702
then I say,
isn't there nine other top-ten acts?
413
00:20:21,771 --> 00:20:23,671
Perspective.
414
00:20:23,740 --> 00:20:26,173
(sniffs, groans)
415
00:20:26,242 --> 00:20:28,576
Oh! It's like that
white man's mantra,
416
00:20:28,645 --> 00:20:31,145
when they...
(sniffs) refused to let women vote,
417
00:20:31,214 --> 00:20:32,780
they shoved Jim Crow law on us,
418
00:20:32,846 --> 00:20:35,127
hell, they gave the Indians
smallpox to take their land...
419
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:36,784
Put yourself first.
420
00:20:36,853 --> 00:20:38,386
Man-Is-First Destiny, baby.
421
00:20:38,454 --> 00:20:40,466
- White folks did it. We can do it, too.
- Manifest.
422
00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:42,189
- What? (Sniffs)
- The belief that the U.S.
423
00:20:42,258 --> 00:20:44,859
was ordained by God
to rule North America.
424
00:20:44,928 --> 00:20:46,594
It's called Manifest Destiny,
425
00:20:46,663 --> 00:20:48,529
- not Man-Is-First Destiny.
- Oh, hell.
426
00:20:48,598 --> 00:20:50,509
First, fest, whatever...
look, I ain't that good with words,
427
00:20:50,533 --> 00:20:51,853
but I know what
I'm talking about.
428
00:20:51,877 --> 00:20:52,967
And I'm gonna help you out.
429
00:20:53,036 --> 00:20:55,937
Now, will Gladys
Knight work for you?
430
00:20:56,005 --> 00:20:57,605
You know Gladys Knight?
431
00:20:57,674 --> 00:20:59,373
Just booked 'em in
the club last year.
432
00:20:59,442 --> 00:21:02,109
And... they got a
show tomorrow in Gary.
433
00:21:02,178 --> 00:21:05,012
And for a small finder's
fee, I'll set ya up.
434
00:21:06,282 --> 00:21:07,815
- No.
- What?
435
00:21:07,884 --> 00:21:11,018
No. If word gets out that
I'm paying for acts...
436
00:21:11,087 --> 00:21:13,321
- Oh... - Soul Train'll
never be legit. Can't do it.
437
00:21:13,389 --> 00:21:15,690
"Soul Train'll never be legit."
438
00:21:15,758 --> 00:21:17,124
I'm gonna help you anyway.
439
00:21:17,193 --> 00:21:19,860
- Why?
- You know what, cat? I like you.
440
00:21:19,929 --> 00:21:21,362
Yeah, we see the world the same.
441
00:21:21,431 --> 00:21:25,333
Besides, if you gonna
have top talent rolling in
442
00:21:25,401 --> 00:21:27,321
on a weekly basis,
I'll be able to book 'em here.
443
00:21:27,345 --> 00:21:30,513
When I want, on discount.
444
00:21:39,015 --> 00:21:41,248
(sniffs)
445
00:21:42,852 --> 00:21:44,585
Perspective.
446
00:21:44,654 --> 00:21:48,589
(laughing)
447
00:21:48,658 --> 00:21:50,091
Let's get drunk.
448
00:21:50,159 --> 00:21:51,625
(both laughing)
449
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:55,746
(clears throat, groans)
450
00:21:59,452 --> 00:22:01,052
(groans)
451
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:03,821
Come on, man.
452
00:22:03,890 --> 00:22:06,424
Man, you sure like to party.
453
00:22:06,492 --> 00:22:08,612
- And we just gettin' started.
- Hey, what time is it?
454
00:22:08,636 --> 00:22:11,595
Time for you to get your ass up
if you gonna make that plane.
455
00:22:11,664 --> 00:22:13,064
Oh, shit.
456
00:22:13,132 --> 00:22:16,100
Yeah, can I use your phone?
457
00:22:18,604 --> 00:22:20,404
(sighs)
458
00:22:23,843 --> 00:22:26,610
- You miss me yet?
- Of course. We all do.
459
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:29,447
But, uh, sounds like you're
having a great time out there.
460
00:22:29,515 --> 00:22:31,482
James Brown is out,
but I'm meeting Gladys Knight
461
00:22:31,551 --> 00:22:34,051
in Gary at 8:00,
and I want the prettiest woman
462
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:36,053
in Brownsville by
my side when I do.
463
00:22:36,122 --> 00:22:37,521
Wait, Gladys Knight?!
464
00:22:37,590 --> 00:22:39,430
- Gladys Knight, baby.
- Baby, I would love to,
465
00:22:39,454 --> 00:22:41,459
but Mama's gone and we
don't have a sitter.
466
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:43,367
- And what about Millie?
- Well, you know what,
467
00:22:43,391 --> 00:22:45,996
she's working, but, um,
let me try Joyce, okay?
468
00:22:46,065 --> 00:22:47,745
Look, my plane lands at
6:00, and I'm gonna
469
00:22:47,769 --> 00:22:49,900
head there straight
from the airport.
470
00:22:49,969 --> 00:22:52,002
I'll be the happiest brother
Ifthis side of Africa.
471
00:22:52,071 --> 00:22:53,704
Negro, you done lost your mind.
472
00:22:53,773 --> 00:22:56,073
Well, it's at the Showcase
Supper Club at 8:00.
473
00:22:56,142 --> 00:22:57,575
Don't leave me hanging.
474
00:22:57,643 --> 00:22:59,043
(inhales)
475
00:22:59,112 --> 00:23:00,945

510
00:24:14,921 --> 00:24:16,220

511
00:24:16,289 --> 00:24:18,055
Love that afro sheen shit, man.
512
00:24:18,124 --> 00:24:20,057
(laughs) Thanks a lot, man.
513
00:24:20,126 --> 00:24:22,092
And who are these lovely ladies?
514
00:24:22,161 --> 00:24:25,062
(sighs): These are...
some friends of ours.
515
00:24:25,131 --> 00:24:26,730
Mm-hmm.
516
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:29,633
Ladies, would you like
to join us for a drink?
517
00:24:29,702 --> 00:24:30,702
Yes.

00:24:30,770 --> 00:24:33,103
George,

00:24:33,172 --> 00:24:34,939
Of course.
520
00:24:43,583 --> 00:24:45,349
I'm surprised the guys
don't want to join.
521
00:24:45,418 --> 00:24:47,785
Oh, well,
we've already made our decision.
522
00:24:47,854 --> 00:24:50,287
- The answer's no.
- You haven't even heard me out yet.
523
00:24:50,356 --> 00:24:52,289
You're a salesman,
Mr. Cornelius.
524
00:24:52,358 --> 00:24:54,225
I don't like salesmen,
and I don't like
525
00:24:54,293 --> 00:24:55,793
- being sloppy seconds.
- Well,
526
00:24:55,862 --> 00:24:58,729
better being sloppy
seconds than funky fourths.
527
00:24:58,798 --> 00:25:00,631
I told Gerald I'd
take the meeting.
528
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:03,367
I took the meeting.
This isn't gonna work.
529
00:25:03,436 --> 00:25:05,236
Miss Knight, please.
530
00:25:05,304 --> 00:25:06,871
Look around.
531
00:25:06,939 --> 00:25:08,706
Tell me what you see.
532
00:25:08,774 --> 00:25:12,009
I don't have time to play
games, Mr. Cornelius. I'm tired.
533
00:25:12,078 --> 00:25:14,144
I've had six jobs in five years.
534
00:25:14,213 --> 00:25:16,747
I got a wife and two kids,
and if I can't convince you
535
00:25:16,816 --> 00:25:18,415
to work with me, then I lose...
536
00:25:18,484 --> 00:25:19,750
everything.
537
00:25:19,819 --> 00:25:22,987
So I assure you,
this is no game.
538
00:25:23,055 --> 00:25:25,022
Tell me what you see.
539
00:25:26,092 --> 00:25:28,993
I see men and women.
540
00:25:29,061 --> 00:25:30,527
Black and beautiful.
541
00:25:30,596 --> 00:25:33,597
Dressed to the nines and...
542
00:25:33,666 --> 00:25:35,699
eating, drinking,
enjoying themselves.
543
00:25:35,768 --> 00:25:37,902
- I see happiness.
- Hmm.
544
00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:40,337
I see freedom.
545
00:25:40,406 --> 00:25:42,573
I see economic power.
546
00:25:42,642 --> 00:25:45,509
Ownership, Miss Knight.
547
00:25:45,578 --> 00:25:47,344
That is the way that we
can truly overcome...
548
00:25:47,413 --> 00:25:48,913
By keeping the power with us.
549
00:25:48,981 --> 00:25:51,181
And we got some of the most
talented singers and dancers
550
00:25:51,205 --> 00:25:53,684
in the world, but any time we
want to showcase our talents,
551
00:25:53,753 --> 00:25:55,653
we either got to go to
Podunk, Tennessee,
552
00:25:55,721 --> 00:25:58,355
- or American Bandstand.
- Oh, now, Flip Wilson
553
00:25:58,424 --> 00:26:01,125
- ain't so bad.
- Yeah, no, no, I love Flip, I love Flip.
554
00:26:01,193 --> 00:26:03,027
But who owns his show?
555
00:26:03,095 --> 00:26:04,795
And who owns him?
556
00:26:04,864 --> 00:26:07,731
'Cause now I'm talking about
a national television show
557
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,868
written,
produced and owned by black folks.
558
00:26:10,937 --> 00:26:13,871
I'm talking about bringing us,
not whitewashed, not toned down,
559
00:26:13,940 --> 00:26:17,308
but us into millions of
homes, like it or not.
560
00:26:17,376 --> 00:26:20,144
Black folks the way black
folks was meant to be seen:
561
00:26:20,212 --> 00:26:21,578
Strong, powerful and beautiful.
562
00:26:21,647 --> 00:26:24,715
There's never been
another show like it.
563
00:26:24,784 --> 00:26:26,617
And it won't just be mine,
564
00:26:26,686 --> 00:26:28,852
it'll be all of ours.
565
00:26:29,956 --> 00:26:32,990
But I can't do it alone.
566
00:26:34,827 --> 00:26:37,995
If my daddy was
here, he'd say...
567
00:26:38,064 --> 00:26:40,831
that you could sell
water to a whale.
568
00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:43,167
(Don chuckles)
569
00:26:43,235 --> 00:26:45,436
But... I choose the songs,
570
00:26:45,504 --> 00:26:47,950
- and nothing we've already recorded.
- No, no, no, absolutely.
571
00:26:47,974 --> 00:26:50,007
You won't...
you won't regret it.
572
00:26:50,076 --> 00:26:51,842
We'll see about that.
573
00:26:51,911 --> 00:26:53,877
Well, damn,
let's have a drink to celebrate.
574
00:26:53,946 --> 00:26:57,081
Uh, I'll pass.
I'm sure the boys will join you.
575
00:26:57,149 --> 00:26:58,415
They're nonstop.
576
00:26:58,484 --> 00:27:00,217
I can never thank you enough.
577
00:27:00,286 --> 00:27:03,420
Just... do right by our people.
578
00:27:03,489 --> 00:27:05,756
Make the show
everything you promised,
579
00:27:05,825 --> 00:27:09,026
and that'll be thanks enough.
580
00:27:10,463 --> 00:27:12,863
Nice to meet you, Mr. Cornelius.

- Sweetheart, that you?

I hate his voice,
I hate his smell,

that-that-that "I'm on the

too-strong cologne smell.
587
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:27,077
I've only known
him for two months,
588
00:27:27,146 --> 00:27:29,013
and I can honestly say
that I hate the man.
589
00:27:29,081 --> 00:27:31,648
I set meetings...
He doesn't even show up.
590
00:27:31,717 --> 00:27:33,250
I'm not his secretary.
591
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:36,053
I am a classically
trained dancer.
592
00:27:36,122 --> 00:27:37,488
I danced at Stuttgart.
593
00:27:37,556 --> 00:27:40,591
I... was a prodigy of Cranko.
594
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:42,526
(chuckles): This man,
he is disrespectful,
595
00:27:42,595 --> 00:27:44,595
he is angry...
596
00:27:45,531 --> 00:27:47,831
I think I'm gonna quit.
597
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:50,167
- You should definitely quit.
- You're supposed
598
00:27:50,236 --> 00:27:52,436
to talk me out of it.
599
00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:54,538
There's no way I'm
letting you quit.
600
00:27:54,607 --> 00:27:56,140
I hate you.
601
00:27:58,711 --> 00:28:01,512
- Whew!
- (groans) Whew!

00:28:01,580 --> 00:28:03,480
Hey, I say we keep
this party going.
603
00:28:03,549 --> 00:28:04,782
I know a club off Gilchrest
604
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:06,550
where we can have
a real good time.
605
00:28:06,619 --> 00:28:08,652
- Let's go.
- All right, all right.
606
00:28:08,721 --> 00:28:10,487
I think I am gonna...
607
00:28:10,556 --> 00:28:13,957
call it a night, Don.
608
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:16,627
But you should go.
609
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:18,362
Celebrate.

a glorified gofer.
613
00:28:26,572 --> 00:28:29,339
It has nothing to do
with real dancing.
614
00:28:29,408 --> 00:28:31,909
What do you want to do?
615
00:28:31,977 --> 00:28:34,044
I don't know.
616
00:28:34,113 --> 00:28:35,846
Okay. Hey.
617
00:28:36,749 --> 00:28:38,949
Just know... okay?
618
00:28:39,018 --> 00:28:41,618
Whatever it is that
you want to do,
619
00:28:41,687 --> 00:28:43,020
we'll do that.

All right?
You want to work Soul Train,
621
00:28:45,257 --> 00:28:47,291
- let's do Soul Train.
- Mm.
622
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:49,093
Want to open up your own studio?

I'm down like four flat
tires, okay?

all that talent

It ain't many hours,
uh, but it's all I got.

bussing them tables.

00:31:49,141 --> 00:31:51,174
I know you're in there, Andrea.
671
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:53,143

All of it.

Mr-Mr. Willard, what you doing?
675
00:31:58,517 --> 00:32:00,617
- I need the rent, JT.
- We paid the rent.
676
00:32:00,686 --> 00:32:02,686
No. Check bounced, again.

not get my money, son.

00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:15,232
It's okay. I'm coming.
681
00:32:17,236 --> 00:32:21,004
Got $48. Get you the rest
by the end of the month.

It's the last time, you hear?

She won't keep making
a fool out of me.
684
00:32:25,944 --> 00:32:29,680
Get me a key.

Hey, it's okay,
it's okay, it's okay.
688
00:32:35,554 --> 00:32:37,754
It's okay. It's okay.

00:32:37,823 --> 00:32:40,290

697
00:33:14,393 --> 00:33:15,826
Almost got my ass
busted last time.
698
00:33:15,894 --> 00:33:17,928
Just 15 minutes. Enjoy that.
699
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:20,030
JOSEPH: Fifteen.
700
00:33:23,202 --> 00:33:26,303
(indistinct radio chatter)
701
00:33:26,372 --> 00:33:28,638
Mama, you think you can
make it to one of our shows?
702
00:33:28,707 --> 00:33:30,907
I got too much work to do to
be running around somewhere
703
00:33:30,976 --> 00:33:33,076
trying to hear some music
I know nothing about.
704
00:33:33,145 --> 00:33:34,678
(phone ringing)
705
00:33:34,747 --> 00:33:36,346
- Hello.
- Thank you.
706
00:33:36,415 --> 00:33:39,216
May I speak to the wife of
the luckiest man in the world?
707
00:33:39,284 --> 00:33:41,204
BRIANNE: Joe.
I didn't think you were gonna call.
708
00:33:41,272 --> 00:33:42,639
It's so close to
you coming home.
709
00:33:42,707 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, I haven't missed
a call in 14 months.
710
00:33:44,857 --> 00:33:46,757
I'll never miss a call.
711
00:33:46,825 --> 00:33:49,659
- How you doing, baby?
- As always,
712
00:33:49,728 --> 00:33:51,695
surviving, missing you guys.
713
00:33:51,764 --> 00:33:53,230
SIMONE: Daddy,
I finished the song.
714
00:33:53,298 --> 00:33:55,899
Hey, now,
that's the best news I've gotten
715
00:33:55,968 --> 00:33:58,034
- since I've been here.
- Yep, I kept the melody,
716
00:33:58,103 --> 00:34:00,070
changed the lyrics.
It's a duet now.
717
00:34:00,139 --> 00:34:02,105
JT thinks the bridge
still needs work,
718
00:34:02,174 --> 00:34:04,054
- but I feel like if we just added...
- Oh, wha...
719
00:34:04,078 --> 00:34:06,009
who's JT and how would he know?
720
00:34:06,078 --> 00:34:08,879
You remember JT.
Kendall's friend.
721
00:34:08,947 --> 00:34:10,987
- (mouths) - JOSEPH: Speaking of
Kendall, where is he?
722
00:34:11,011 --> 00:34:13,183
Uh, he's at the
library with Andy.
723
00:34:13,252 --> 00:34:14,951
They have a big
calculus test tomorrow.
724
00:34:15,020 --> 00:34:16,780
- You got two minutes.
- Someone's in a mood.
725
00:34:16,804 --> 00:34:19,122
If you got the money for day
care, my mood will change.
726
00:34:19,191 --> 00:34:21,992
- Okay, I don't have the money.
- (scoffs)
727
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:24,428
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
But I got this.
728
00:34:28,467 --> 00:34:30,066
Kendall.
729
00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:41,244
When I wanted to be together,
you ran like un pequeño chico.
730
00:34:41,313 --> 00:34:44,881
- And now that I'm with Marcos, you want to get married.
- You don't love Marcos.
731
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:47,984
But I trust him.
And he loves me.
732
00:34:50,722 --> 00:34:53,156
You're right.
733
00:34:53,225 --> 00:34:56,860
I want to be a real dad.
734
00:34:56,929 --> 00:34:58,829
To Daniel.
735
00:34:58,897 --> 00:35:01,932
You are Daniel's father.
736
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,303
And you'll always be my first.
737
00:35:06,371 --> 00:35:09,906
Forget that money for day care.
738
00:35:09,975 --> 00:35:11,655
Daddy, can you make
Mama come hear us sing?
739
00:35:11,724 --> 00:35:13,624
Oh, Bri, you better go
hear your daughter sing.
740
00:35:13,692 --> 00:35:15,245
I went to every
one of your shows.
741
00:35:15,314 --> 00:35:16,913
Least you can do is
go to one of hers.
742
00:35:16,982 --> 00:35:18,915
Oh,
so you went to all her shows?
743
00:35:18,984 --> 00:35:20,450
Every single one.
744
00:35:20,479 --> 00:35:22,519
Fell in love with your
mother when I heard her sing.
745
00:35:22,543 --> 00:35:24,821
"Summertime" at
Tiny's Juke Joint.
746
00:35:24,890 --> 00:35:26,756
SIMONE: You were that good?
747
00:35:26,825 --> 00:35:29,159
- Mama, why'd you stop singing?
- Okay, so this call
748
00:35:29,228 --> 00:35:32,596
has 12 minutes left,
and this is not how I want to spend them.
749
00:35:33,799 --> 00:35:35,398
Bye, Daddy. Love you.
750
00:35:35,467 --> 00:35:36,733
I love you.
751
00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:40,003
Hey, baby.
752
00:35:40,072 --> 00:35:41,638
Ah, I miss you so much.
753
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:49,045
He's short. Two large.
754
00:35:49,114 --> 00:35:52,415
GERALD: You hear that, Mikey?
You short.
755
00:35:52,484 --> 00:35:54,295
- What am I supposed to do with this?
- Please, Gerald.
756
00:35:54,319 --> 00:35:55,986
For the love of
everything, don't kill me.
757
00:35:56,054 --> 00:35:57,654
Calm down, Mikey.
I ain't gonna kill you.
758
00:35:57,723 --> 00:35:59,523
- Not if you get my money.
- On my mama grave,
759
00:35:59,591 --> 00:36:01,324
- I swear I will.
- Get him out.
760
00:36:06,064 --> 00:36:08,031
(whimpers, panting)
761
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:10,000
Oh, for cryin' out
loud, you shat yourself?
762
00:36:10,068 --> 00:36:11,234
Oh, geez, Gerald.
763
00:36:11,303 --> 00:36:13,837
- It was an accident.
- Okay, stop.
764
00:36:13,906 --> 00:36:15,466
I see you again,
you ain't got my money,
765
00:36:16,368 --> 00:36:18,848
- I'll get it, Gerald. I promise.
I promise. E I see y-Mm.Mikey.
766
00:36:18,872 --> 00:36:20,043
(whimpers)
767
00:36:20,112 --> 00:36:22,579
GERALD: Clean that shit up.
768
00:36:24,283 --> 00:36:27,350
(newscast fanfare playing)
769
00:36:29,488 --> 00:36:30,954
(TV anchor speaking
indistinctly)
770
00:36:31,023 --> 00:36:32,923
(laughs)
771
00:36:32,991 --> 00:36:35,225
I did it.
772
00:36:35,294 --> 00:36:38,929
I did it, I did it, I did it.
773
00:36:38,997 --> 00:36:40,730
I got Gladys Knight.
774
00:36:40,799 --> 00:36:43,233
- Mm.
- Mm. (Laughs)
775
00:36:43,302 --> 00:36:46,870
Mm. Every single Pip.
776
00:36:46,939 --> 00:36:48,572
Well, I never doubted you.
777
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,407
Yeah, our life is about to
change, Red.
778
00:36:50,475 --> 00:36:53,209
- And I'm gonna give you the world.
- (laughs)
779
00:36:53,278 --> 00:36:55,412
Yeah, but first...
780
00:36:59,084 --> 00:37:00,650
Amtrak tickets.
781
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,254
Look, I know you hate to fly,
so I got you Amtrak tickets.
782
00:37:04,323 --> 00:37:05,733
Yeah, I mean it, Red,
this-this is our dream,
783
00:37:05,757 --> 00:37:06,890
and it's coming true.
784
00:37:06,959 --> 00:37:08,525
I want my family
out there with me.
785
00:37:08,594 --> 00:37:13,129
But Don, how we able to afford this?
I mean, the I.A. trip,
786
00:37:13,198 --> 00:37:15,577
- the seed money? Baby, where did you get it from?
- I only took a couple thousand.
787
00:37:15,601 --> 00:37:18,034
You promised that you
wouldn't touch that, Don.
788
00:37:18,103 --> 00:37:20,570
I bet on me,
I bet on me and I won.
789
00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:22,739
We.
790
00:37:22,808 --> 00:37:24,774
We won, baby.
791
00:37:26,678 --> 00:37:28,878
Do you remember when you
gave me your class ring
792
00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:30,227
right before you went for Korea?
793
00:37:30,282 --> 00:37:33,783
- Uh-huh.
- (laughs)
794
00:37:33,852 --> 00:37:36,987
Ooh, I was the happiest
girl at DuSable High.
795
00:37:37,055 --> 00:37:40,357
And I knew that I would, uh,
that I would wait for you
796
00:37:40,425 --> 00:37:44,094
and that we would get married.
797
00:37:44,162 --> 00:37:48,331
That I'll love you for
the rest of my life.
798
00:37:49,735 --> 00:37:53,269
I knew then like I know
now, Don, that, uh,
799
00:37:53,338 --> 00:37:58,842
if you move to Los
Angeles, if you live there,
800
00:37:58,910 --> 00:38:02,245
baby, we won't make it.
801
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:10,053
DON: Baby... (laughs softly)
802
00:38:10,122 --> 00:38:12,722
I'm not moving to I.A., Don.
(sniffles)
803
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:15,058
I won't put the
kids through that.
804
00:38:15,127 --> 00:38:19,195
So what you saying, um...
805
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,701
- that you want me to give up on my dream?
- No.
806
00:38:24,770 --> 00:38:27,437
I want you here with us.
807
00:38:27,506 --> 00:38:30,640
But listen, you know what?
Go to I.A., all right?
808
00:38:30,709 --> 00:38:34,110
Okay? And then do the
show and then come home.
809
00:38:34,179 --> 00:38:36,079
Don, every week, come home.
810
00:38:36,148 --> 00:38:38,581
Look, baby. Baby,
you're worried about me with other women,
811
00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:41,618
but don't be. Don't be,
because I'm not gonna cheat on you.
812
00:38:41,687 --> 00:38:44,032
- Yeah, well, it ain't never stopped you before, Don.
- Damn it, Delores.
813
00:38:44,056 --> 00:38:46,923
That was a long time ago.
Either you forgive me or you don't.
814
00:38:46,992 --> 00:38:48,792
Baby, I forgave you.
815
00:38:48,860 --> 00:38:51,594
Don, I believe in you.
816
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:55,065
And I believe that you mean
everything that you're saying.
817
00:38:55,133 --> 00:38:57,734
But Don, I know what I know.
818
00:39:06,044 --> 00:39:08,211
Red, look at me.
819
00:39:09,214 --> 00:39:12,482
I love you.
820
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:14,050
I love you, baby,
and those boys,
821
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:15,952
they mean everything to me.
822
00:39:16,021 --> 00:39:18,488
But if I don't do this,
823
00:39:18,557 --> 00:39:21,624
if I don't do everything in my
power to try and make this work,
824
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:24,427
I won't make it.
825
00:39:24,496 --> 00:39:26,496
Now, I've failed at everything
that I've ever done.
826
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,431
I don't even make
enough money to provide
827
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:31,434
for my own damn family.
828
00:39:31,503 --> 00:39:34,671
- I'm suffocating, baby.
- I know you are, baby.
829
00:39:34,740 --> 00:39:37,841
(crying): I'm suffocating,
and I can't...
830
00:39:37,909 --> 00:39:40,376
