1
00:00:40,166 --> 00:00:41,458
Oh, yeah.
2
00:00:44,166 --> 00:00:45,791
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
3
00:00:53,208 --> 00:00:55,333
I want my baby girl to come back to me.
4
00:00:55,416 --> 00:00:56,875
A crime so gruesome...
5
00:01:04,583 --> 00:01:06,000
Pants don't fit?
6
00:01:06,416 --> 00:01:08,791
That's right. New Fat Crusher 2000.
7
00:01:24,791 --> 00:01:26,416
Oh, shit!
8
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,458
What do you think of a woman turning 40?
9
00:01:48,541 --> 00:01:51,000
40? Girl, 40 ain't shit.
10
00:01:51,083 --> 00:01:52,833
You? Almost 40?
11
00:01:52,916 --> 00:01:56,208
I started living my life when I was 40.
12
00:01:56,291 --> 00:01:58,291
Damn, you that old, Miss B?
13
00:01:58,375 --> 00:01:59,750
Ay! Forty?!
14
00:02:00,041 --> 00:02:02,791
40 means... juicy down there.
15
00:02:02,875 --> 00:02:08,375
Shit, I figured you were like 30,
maybe even 35, but 40?
16
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,041
Damn, that's just... that's just crazy.
17
00:02:11,166 --> 00:02:13,000
Oh, shit!
18
00:02:18,708 --> 00:02:20,500
When a single woman turns forty,
19
00:02:20,583 --> 00:02:23,000
she's like fruit from the tree
that falls to the ground
20
00:02:23,083 --> 00:02:24,250
for the bugs to eat.
21
00:02:24,708 --> 00:02:25,583
Gracias.
22
00:02:25,666 --> 00:02:26,791
You're welcome.
23
00:02:26,958 --> 00:02:28,041
Now 70?
24
00:02:28,458 --> 00:02:31,458
Call me when you turn 70
and can't control your bowels.
25
00:02:33,833 --> 00:02:34,791
Oh, shit.
26
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,166
Oh, God.
27
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:41,000
{\an8}Wait. Oh, come on.
28
00:02:41,458 --> 00:02:43,625
{\an8}Come on, sir, you see me
standing right here.
29
00:02:43,708 --> 00:02:45,333
{\an8}Please? I'm late.
30
00:02:45,958 --> 00:02:47,875
{\an8}Thank you.
31
00:02:50,208 --> 00:02:51,833
{\an8}You just made your mother proud.
32
00:02:52,416 --> 00:02:53,500
{\an8}My mother's dead.
33
00:03:00,083 --> 00:03:01,458
{\an8}Sorry...?
34
00:03:02,458 --> 00:03:03,666
{\an8}Okay. Sorry.
35
00:03:10,041 --> 00:03:12,458
{\an8}Excuse me. Sorry about that. Sorry.
36
00:03:12,541 --> 00:03:14,458
{\an8}Hey, it's your brother.
37
00:03:14,583 --> 00:03:18,791
{\an8}It's been a year, so don't you think
we should take care of Mom's apartment?
38
00:03:19,625 --> 00:03:20,916
{\an8}Aight, hit me back.
39
00:03:24,541 --> 00:03:25,375
{\an8}Thank you.
40
00:03:27,333 --> 00:03:28,500
{\an8}Oh, great.
41
00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:37,125
{\an8}Oh, fuck me.
42
00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:43,625
{\an8}Great.
43
00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:45,625
{\an8}Great.
44
00:03:49,916 --> 00:03:51,291
{\an8}Excuse me, sir?
45
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,375
{\an8}Sir? Sir? Do you think I could just, like,
46
00:03:54,458 --> 00:03:57,125
{\an8}jump out before you let
the people in.
47
00:03:57,208 --> 00:03:59,666
{\an8}I'm really late.
I'll just jump out before you...
48
00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:02,000
{\an8}Sorry for the delay, folks,
49
00:04:02,083 --> 00:04:05,500
{\an8}but this lady here doesn't want me to help
the disabled people on.
50
00:04:05,583 --> 00:04:07,333
{\an8}Oh, come on!
51
00:04:07,416 --> 00:04:09,541
{\an8}I... that did not...
52
00:04:09,625 --> 00:04:11,041
{\an8}I didn't... I didn't say that.
53
00:04:11,125 --> 00:04:13,458
{\an8}But, no, please. As you were.
54
00:04:13,541 --> 00:04:15,708
{\an8}Thanks. Thanks a lot. Please.
55
00:04:16,875 --> 00:04:18,250
{\an8}Oh, shit.
56
00:04:18,875 --> 00:04:19,750
{\an8}No!
57
00:04:20,083 --> 00:04:22,416
Stupid-ass Scorpio
58
00:04:22,833 --> 00:04:25,375
Your stingy-ass ways mean we can't flow
59
00:04:25,708 --> 00:04:28,375
And you bullshit Libra
60
00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:30,208
Fucking deceiver
61
00:04:30,291 --> 00:04:32,750
Step off, Gigantor
No one believes you
62
00:04:33,291 --> 00:04:35,916
And Mr. Gemini
63
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,125
You're too feminine
64
00:04:38,208 --> 00:04:40,875
Can't rock with a nigga's ass
Bigger than mine
65
00:04:40,958 --> 00:04:43,541
See me?
I'm focused
66
00:04:44,041 --> 00:04:48,041
My sweet mid-body lust
Is just for those who I trust
67
00:04:48,125 --> 00:04:52,083
Why?
Because I'm a cli-cli-cli-Taurus
68
00:05:00,208 --> 00:05:01,708
Wow.
69
00:05:03,166 --> 00:05:04,041
Wow.
70
00:05:04,625 --> 00:05:07,083
Come on, guys. Come on.
Clap it up for Elaine.
71
00:05:07,958 --> 00:05:09,083
Thank you.
72
00:05:11,791 --> 00:05:14,833
Thank you. Thank you for sharing that,
Elaine, really.
73
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:16,666
Okay, um...
74
00:05:17,333 --> 00:05:21,000
Any more thought on what kind of play
we want to write?
75
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:22,333
Rosa?
76
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:24,833
I say we do some sci-fi shit.
77
00:05:25,208 --> 00:05:26,041
Like?
78
00:05:26,583 --> 00:05:31,291
Like this strange blue cloud comes down
from the sky raining on everybody, right?
79
00:05:31,375 --> 00:05:34,291
But then the next day,
every man caught in the rain,
80
00:05:34,375 --> 00:05:36,375
they wake up with no dick.
81
00:05:37,375 --> 00:05:41,750
Hmm. So, like, um,
a sci-fi mystery kind of thing.
82
00:05:41,833 --> 00:05:43,333
- Yeah.
- Okay.
83
00:05:43,416 --> 00:05:46,750
No, no, no. We should do some
racial-type political shit,
84
00:05:46,833 --> 00:05:50,958
where a Black man
fucks this white girl and dies.
85
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:55,125
And that's political because...
86
00:05:55,208 --> 00:05:59,625
'Cause a white vagina is a plot
to destroy a Black family.
87
00:05:59,708 --> 00:06:02,958
Shit, my mom would kill me
if I even touch one, you feel me?
88
00:06:03,041 --> 00:06:04,458
Consider yourself dead, bro.
89
00:06:05,166 --> 00:06:06,583
Mm, mm-mm-mm.
90
00:06:06,916 --> 00:06:11,541
Okay, guys, can we come up with ideas
that don't involve genitalia?
91
00:06:11,916 --> 00:06:16,125
You know, just in case somebody's
grandmother wants to come to the show.
92
00:06:16,208 --> 00:06:18,625
For what? My abuela loves balls.
93
00:06:19,750 --> 00:06:23,166
Ha, ha, ha. Very funny. Okay, that's fine.
94
00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:26,166
Make jokes. Just remember, it's your play.
95
00:06:26,791 --> 00:06:28,625
It'll be whatever you put into it.
96
00:06:28,708 --> 00:06:30,916
If you put in nothing, it'll be nothing.
97
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,041
Like your career?
98
00:06:32,375 --> 00:06:34,375
Ooh.
99
00:06:36,375 --> 00:06:37,250
Ouch.
100
00:06:38,416 --> 00:06:39,375
Really, Elaine?
101
00:06:39,458 --> 00:06:40,708
I googled you.
102
00:06:41,125 --> 00:06:44,000
Last time you did anything was,
what, 2010?
103
00:06:44,083 --> 00:06:48,375
Oh, 2012, and they ain't producing her
'cause white people scared of the truth.
104
00:06:48,458 --> 00:06:49,500
Right, Miss B?
105
00:06:49,583 --> 00:06:51,791
Rosa, thank you, but it's not about me.
106
00:06:51,875 --> 00:06:55,208
Right, Brosa, so stop kissing her ass.
You ain't going down on her.
107
00:06:55,291 --> 00:06:57,375
Fuck you. I could dream.
108
00:06:57,458 --> 00:07:00,333
Damn, Elaine,
why you gotta be so negative?
109
00:07:00,416 --> 00:07:01,416
I'm saying...
110
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:05,166
how's somebody who ain't had no real hit
gonna tell me how to write a fucking play?
111
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:06,958
She ain't no Tyler Perry.
112
00:07:07,041 --> 00:07:08,708
I actually appreciate that. Thank you.
113
00:07:08,791 --> 00:07:10,458
And that's why
she's teaching at the school,
114
00:07:10,541 --> 00:07:12,750
coming late every day
when nobody wants to be here.
115
00:07:12,833 --> 00:07:14,458
Oh-ho-ho!
116
00:07:14,666 --> 00:07:19,541
I told you there were 20 invalids
on my bus today, okay?
117
00:07:19,625 --> 00:07:22,125
But you know what, Elaine?
This isn't Dangerous Minds.
118
00:07:22,541 --> 00:07:24,250
You can leave whenever you want.
119
00:07:24,333 --> 00:07:28,041
And, by the way, I actually have
a production coming up. Thank you.
120
00:07:28,125 --> 00:07:30,708
Oh!
121
00:07:31,208 --> 00:07:32,583
I'm just saying.
122
00:07:32,666 --> 00:07:34,166
Um, workshop production.
123
00:07:34,250 --> 00:07:36,250
It ain't even regional theater. Please.
124
00:07:36,333 --> 00:07:39,041
Oh-ho!
125
00:07:39,333 --> 00:07:41,375
Yo, Elaine, sit down.
126
00:07:42,333 --> 00:07:44,416
- What'd you say?
- Uh, Rosa, don't bother.
127
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:47,791
I said sit your disrespectful ass down.
Now, puta.
128
00:07:47,875 --> 00:07:49,250
- What?
- Oh, shit!
129
00:07:49,583 --> 00:07:50,708
Oh! Ooh-hoo-hoo!
130
00:07:50,791 --> 00:07:53,500
Okay, guys. Guys, shut up.
131
00:07:53,583 --> 00:07:57,333
Okay? Now, girls...
I mean, gender non-conformists.
132
00:07:57,416 --> 00:07:59,416
Make me sit down, dyke.
133
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:01,500
Ooh!
134
00:08:01,583 --> 00:08:03,958
Guys, can we just calm down
and make art please?
135
00:08:04,041 --> 00:08:06,416
'Cause you look like Bustin' Bieber
I'm supposed to be scared?
136
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:08,041
- Oh, no.
- I ain't scared.
137
00:08:08,125 --> 00:08:09,583
You still a bitch, bitch.
138
00:08:12,125 --> 00:08:13,083
Oh, shit!
139
00:08:13,166 --> 00:08:15,041
- Girls, no!
- Shit, they fighting!
140
00:08:15,125 --> 00:08:16,208
Pop her titty out!
141
00:08:16,416 --> 00:08:17,833
Yo, call security!
142
00:08:17,916 --> 00:08:18,916
Guys, come on!
143
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
- Pull her fucking weave!
- Stop it!
144
00:08:22,208 --> 00:08:24,541
Pull her fucking weave out!
145
00:08:27,041 --> 00:08:27,958
Ya'll break it up!
146
00:08:31,041 --> 00:08:32,125
Boo!
147
00:08:33,958 --> 00:08:35,583
Fuck Time Out New York!
148
00:08:35,666 --> 00:08:37,583
You're five stars Black Shakespeare, ma!
149
00:08:37,666 --> 00:08:41,750
Like RadhaMUSprime, you'll rise again
to slay all these Decepticunts out here!
150
00:08:42,666 --> 00:08:44,416
- Oh, my God.
- You all right?
151
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:46,125
- Yes.
- You good?
152
00:08:46,208 --> 00:08:47,125
Yeah.
153
00:08:47,416 --> 00:08:48,416
Oh, my God.
154
00:08:49,583 --> 00:08:53,333
They don't pay me enough for this shit.
155
00:08:53,458 --> 00:08:55,791
Hi! You've reached Archie Choi.
156
00:08:55,916 --> 00:08:58,041
- Do the thing! Ciao!
- Great.
157
00:08:58,208 --> 00:09:00,625
Where the fuck are you, Archie?
158
00:09:00,708 --> 00:09:04,083
I'm either gonna kill
or fuck one of these damn kids.
159
00:09:04,166 --> 00:09:07,291
Archie, where's my regional production?
Like, what do I gotta do?
160
00:09:07,375 --> 00:09:11,000
Write a... slave musical?
An all-white play?
161
00:09:11,875 --> 00:09:14,041
Like, who do I have to blow around here?
162
00:09:14,125 --> 00:09:15,125
Elaine.
163
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:19,083
Oh, hey, Avery. What?
164
00:09:19,166 --> 00:09:22,583
Elaine probably would have chilled
if you just complimented her stupid poem.
165
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:24,666
You're right.
166
00:09:26,208 --> 00:09:28,208
Oh, why you drinking that diet shit?
167
00:09:28,791 --> 00:09:30,166
I prefer my woman thick.
168
00:09:30,791 --> 00:09:33,625
Thanks. No, no. no.
169
00:09:34,375 --> 00:09:36,666
Avery, that's not appropriate.
170
00:09:37,083 --> 00:09:38,375
I'm... I'm your teacher.
171
00:09:40,125 --> 00:09:41,583
I turn 20 in two weeks.
172
00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:44,625
I bet you do.
173
00:09:45,375 --> 00:09:46,333
All over.
174
00:09:48,166 --> 00:09:50,791
Help me. Please, help me.
175
00:09:54,208 --> 00:09:55,666
When I got that call...
176
00:09:57,583 --> 00:09:59,750
I felt my balls shrivel up.
177
00:10:01,541 --> 00:10:02,916
When I got that call...
178
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
I thought, "Damn, Darlene...
179
00:10:07,583 --> 00:10:09,000
that's fucked up."
180
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:16,625
I need a minute.
181
00:10:17,125 --> 00:10:18,166
A minute?
182
00:10:19,208 --> 00:10:20,416
Come on, man.
183
00:10:41,166 --> 00:10:42,791
Mmm!
184
00:10:43,208 --> 00:10:44,333
Is that patchouli?
185
00:10:45,291 --> 00:10:47,791
Smells great. Smells really good.
186
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:50,500
Um...
187
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:55,041
Forrest, thank you
for meeting me so last minute.
188
00:10:55,125 --> 00:11:00,208
I, uh, wanted to talk to you about
my workshop production with you...
189
00:11:00,291 --> 00:11:02,833
YOUmoja Theater. Yeah.
190
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:04,833
It's true, uh...
191
00:11:04,916 --> 00:11:09,750
Black theater spaces are often
under-resourced and underfunded,
192
00:11:09,833 --> 00:11:10,875
but it's...
193
00:11:13,291 --> 00:11:15,791
it's important that...
194
00:11:18,458 --> 00:11:20,125
that I work with my people.
195
00:11:20,875 --> 00:11:25,125
Still, my agent thinks
that, um, at this point in my career,
196
00:11:25,208 --> 00:11:27,541
you know, I've done the 30 Under 30...
197
00:11:27,625 --> 00:11:30,958
Yes, it was quite a couple years ago,
but I... I did win that award.
198
00:11:31,041 --> 00:11:36,666
He feels that I should maybe
have a regional production of the play,
199
00:11:37,041 --> 00:11:39,291
instead of a workshop production.
200
00:11:39,458 --> 00:11:44,375
And, uh, for a fee that, I don't know,
is enough to pay my rent...
201
00:11:44,916 --> 00:11:45,916
would be nice.
202
00:11:47,375 --> 00:11:48,208
Maybe.
203
00:11:48,791 --> 00:11:50,625
Ooh. Okay.
204
00:11:59,666 --> 00:12:00,541
Okay.
205
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:13,166
Oh, I should...
206
00:12:19,958 --> 00:12:23,208
Oh, sorry.
My knees are a little out of shape there.
207
00:12:26,125 --> 00:12:29,541
The ancestors,
they're always with us,
208
00:12:29,625 --> 00:12:32,291
always watching, I trust them.
209
00:12:32,375 --> 00:12:35,333
They told me,
despite the numerous challenges,
210
00:12:35,416 --> 00:12:38,000
that I must preserve this theater.
211
00:12:38,083 --> 00:12:41,458
And now, they're reminding me
that what we create here
212
00:12:41,958 --> 00:12:45,791
- is imbued with a spirit of cause.
- Yes.
213
00:12:46,916 --> 00:12:48,166
Not commerce.
214
00:12:53,083 --> 00:12:54,291
The ancestors said that?
215
00:12:56,583 --> 00:12:58,250
They don't want my rent paid?
216
00:12:59,083 --> 00:13:01,791
Can we try my ancestors this time?
217
00:13:02,041 --> 00:13:05,791
So, I have an Aunt Karen and I know she...
wants my rent paid.
218
00:13:05,875 --> 00:13:07,666
No? Okay, I'll just back off.
219
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:14,875
Guess who finally bookedtwo tickets to Greece?
220
00:13:14,958 --> 00:13:17,000
Antonio picked out our matching thongs.
221
00:13:17,083 --> 00:13:19,291
Anyway, meet me downtown
in, like, an hour.
222
00:13:19,375 --> 00:13:21,041
There's someone I want you to meet.
223
00:13:21,125 --> 00:13:22,958
Could be a game changer.
224
00:13:23,583 --> 00:13:24,875
Oh, and be on time!
225
00:13:26,041 --> 00:13:27,625
Hey, you have the address, right?
226
00:13:27,708 --> 00:13:29,583
Okay, please dress it up a bit.
227
00:13:29,666 --> 00:13:30,666
See you in a few.
228
00:13:31,625 --> 00:13:33,541
Oh, shit!
229
00:13:34,625 --> 00:13:37,958
Maybe you'll finally get a nigga
to go home with you tonight, huh?
230
00:13:38,916 --> 00:13:41,666
It's been a long time
since you had somebody up there.
231
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:43,958
And by up there, I mean
232
00:13:44,041 --> 00:13:48,708
- up in there!
- Yeah, got it. Thanks.
233
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:55,333
I've been sworn to secrecy.
234
00:13:55,416 --> 00:13:57,708
Come on, you can tell me.
235
00:13:58,166 --> 00:14:00,458
- Okay, but not a word.
- No.
236
00:14:01,458 --> 00:14:08,291
Michael and I are invested
in a multi-racial revival of Fences!
237
00:14:08,375 --> 00:14:11,291
My God! August Wilson? Timeless.
238
00:14:11,375 --> 00:14:13,333
I know and now integrated.
239
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,083
Oh, no, I don't want those at all.
240
00:14:16,166 --> 00:14:18,791
- Tempted?
- No! Mm-mm.
241
00:14:19,541 --> 00:14:22,458
I'm gonna lose 40 by 40.
I'm doing smoothies, boo.
242
00:14:22,541 --> 00:14:24,875
Oh, that's why your breath, uh...
243
00:14:25,583 --> 00:14:27,000
What?
244
00:14:27,291 --> 00:14:29,125
So there may be an opportunity.
245
00:14:30,958 --> 00:14:33,708
To drown in a sea of old white women?
246
00:14:33,791 --> 00:14:35,125
Beyond the ladies.
247
00:14:37,958 --> 00:14:39,750
- That's J. Whitman.
- I know.
248
00:14:40,875 --> 00:14:43,375
Why would I care about J. Whitman?
249
00:14:43,791 --> 00:14:46,166
In between drinks
and trying to grope my ass,
250
00:14:46,625 --> 00:14:49,208
he said they have
a last minute slot to fill.
251
00:14:49,291 --> 00:14:50,125
And?
252
00:14:50,208 --> 00:14:52,791
And it might be a chance
to get your play up.
253
00:14:53,208 --> 00:14:56,625
You know women of color playwrights
are very hot right now.
254
00:14:58,166 --> 00:15:01,166
Or would you rather have the roof leaking
on your production at YOUmoja?
255
00:15:01,250 --> 00:15:05,500
J. Whitman only does Black poverty porn
plays of which mine are not.
256
00:15:05,583 --> 00:15:08,166
Great, so I stopped masturbating,
257
00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:11,208
got dressed, and resisted
those succulent ribs for nothing?
258
00:15:11,791 --> 00:15:13,625
Didn't someone almost stab you today?
259
00:15:13,708 --> 00:15:14,541
No!
260
00:15:15,458 --> 00:15:17,083
I was vigorously pushed.
261
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:18,291
They're good kids, okay?
262
00:15:18,375 --> 00:15:20,708
"Archie, where's my regional production?"
263
00:15:20,791 --> 00:15:25,125
I'd rather do a workshop production
with Forrest and his stingy-ass ancestors
264
00:15:25,208 --> 00:15:27,958
than suck it up to J. Whitman. Ugh!
265
00:15:28,583 --> 00:15:31,916
Look, I let that man graze my ass,
so you're going to ingest a breath mint
266
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,041
and go see what that man has to say.
267
00:15:35,083 --> 00:15:36,500
But why would I...
268
00:15:37,416 --> 00:15:38,958
- I know you're not trying...
- Mmm!
269
00:15:47,708 --> 00:15:49,458
- Fuck you.
- Ooh, better!
270
00:15:52,833 --> 00:15:54,750
I'm not afraid of controversy.
271
00:15:54,833 --> 00:15:58,708
Our all-female production
of 12 Angry Men, my idea,
272
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:01,541
but a live cow on stage?
273
00:16:01,625 --> 00:16:05,833
I'm sorry, but I draw the line
at fresh cow shit.
274
00:16:07,083 --> 00:16:09,041
Radha! Excuse me, ladies.
275
00:16:09,125 --> 00:16:11,916
- Radha! Hey!
- How are you?
276
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,375
Just puckering up to the patrons,
as usual.
277
00:16:14,458 --> 00:16:16,000
- How are you?
- Good.
278
00:16:16,083 --> 00:16:18,375
Archie tells me you're teaching.
279
00:16:18,458 --> 00:16:20,625
I've been teaching for a while now.
280
00:16:20,708 --> 00:16:22,500
Well, theater misses you.
281
00:16:22,833 --> 00:16:24,208
- Does it?
- Mm-hmm.
282
00:16:24,291 --> 00:16:26,791
Is it looking for me?
Because I've been here.
283
00:16:27,166 --> 00:16:29,791
Now, Archie insisted I read your play.
284
00:16:29,875 --> 00:16:30,916
Awesome. Thank you.
285
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,125
It's...
286
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,625
Yes...?
287
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,708
Why don't you tell me about it
in your own words?
288
00:16:38,208 --> 00:16:39,083
Okay.
289
00:16:39,333 --> 00:16:40,333
Um...
290
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:43,833
Harlem Ave is about a young Black man
291
00:16:43,916 --> 00:16:48,125
who inherits a grocery store
from his dead mom and pop,
292
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:52,166
and how he struggles to keep
the business afloat
293
00:16:52,666 --> 00:16:54,458
with the help of his lovely wife...
294
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:56,333
who's an activist.
295
00:16:58,625 --> 00:16:59,791
Hmm.
296
00:17:00,458 --> 00:17:01,291
That's it?
297
00:17:02,041 --> 00:17:04,250
No... no, no, no.
298
00:17:04,333 --> 00:17:07,166
It's about gentrification. Mmm.
299
00:17:07,250 --> 00:17:10,708
And how this young couple struggles to...
300
00:17:10,791 --> 00:17:13,416
- You didn't like it.
- The idea is powerful.
301
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:14,500
But?
302
00:17:14,583 --> 00:17:17,291
It rang a little inauthentic.
303
00:17:18,416 --> 00:17:21,375
Okay. Well, thank you for that note.
I appreciate it.
304
00:17:21,458 --> 00:17:24,750
- There's something there.
- Okay.
305
00:17:24,833 --> 00:17:26,958
I just wish you hadn't shied away
from darkness.
306
00:17:27,041 --> 00:17:29,541
I mean if you're going to
call it Harlem Ave,
307
00:17:29,625 --> 00:17:31,791
you gotta give me Harlem Ave.
308
00:17:31,875 --> 00:17:35,083
I should write in a teen mother
shooting up in an alley.
309
00:17:35,166 --> 00:17:36,291
No, no, no!
310
00:17:37,666 --> 00:17:39,750
No. No, you're missing my point.
311
00:17:39,833 --> 00:17:42,083
I'm talking about gentrification.
312
00:17:42,166 --> 00:17:46,583
A Black Harlem shifting under
a white hipster land grab,
313
00:17:46,666 --> 00:17:48,583
but your play never goes there.
314
00:17:48,666 --> 00:17:51,791
I ask myself,
"Did a Black person really write this?"
315
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,500
- Now, look, sweetheart.
- Yes.
316
00:17:58,583 --> 00:18:02,041
There's definitely a voice
under all those words...
317
00:18:02,125 --> 00:18:05,291
- All those words.
- ...but the writing needs work.
318
00:18:05,916 --> 00:18:07,791
- The good news is...
- Hmm?
319
00:18:08,583 --> 00:18:11,875
I still need a writer
for my Harriet Tubman musical.
320
00:18:17,041 --> 00:18:18,291
Wow.
321
00:18:21,791 --> 00:18:22,916
Okay.
322
00:18:25,791 --> 00:18:28,833
That's... that's great.
323
00:18:31,166 --> 00:18:32,125
That's great.
324
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:35,041
Hey, J!
325
00:18:38,875 --> 00:18:40,000
Fuck.
326
00:18:49,541 --> 00:18:51,875
I just want to be an artist.
327
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:54,833
Mommy, please.
328
00:18:56,625 --> 00:18:59,208
Mommy, please. Tell me what to do.
329
00:19:20,208 --> 00:19:21,958
Yo, where my period at?
330
00:19:22,625 --> 00:19:24,166
Oh, shit, there it go
331
00:19:24,541 --> 00:19:27,458
Right next to belly bloating
And this spotty flow
332
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:29,791
Yo, where my damn house keys?
333
00:19:29,875 --> 00:19:31,500
Why my lower legs hurt?
334
00:19:31,583 --> 00:19:34,000
Sciatica, locked legs like Attica
335
00:19:34,083 --> 00:19:36,583
Word, yo, why my ass always horny?
336
00:19:36,666 --> 00:19:38,375
Why I always gotta pee?
337
00:19:38,458 --> 00:19:41,333
Why the young boy on the bus
Offer his seat to me?
338
00:19:41,416 --> 00:19:43,125
Why my skin so dry?
339
00:19:43,208 --> 00:19:44,833
Why am I yawning right now?
340
00:19:44,916 --> 00:19:48,041
Why them AARP niggas
Sending shit to my house?
341
00:19:48,375 --> 00:19:50,125
Why my ass so impatient?
342
00:19:50,208 --> 00:19:51,375
But I like them young bucks
343
00:19:51,458 --> 00:19:54,583
But ten o'clock roll around
And I'm too tired to fuck
344
00:19:55,208 --> 00:19:58,583
Why my knees be writing checks
That my back can't cash?
345
00:19:58,666 --> 00:20:01,791
Why I think I'm gonna fart
But my ass got other plans?
346
00:20:01,875 --> 00:20:05,208
Why most hip hop got me feeling
So much older, yo?
347
00:20:05,291 --> 00:20:08,041
When the fuck is this loud-ass song
Gon' be over?
348
00:20:08,375 --> 00:20:11,500
Yeah, I tried to dance hard
But my knees straight caught me
349
00:20:11,583 --> 00:20:14,333
Cause, yo, this is 40, niggas!
350
00:20:14,416 --> 00:20:15,791
This is 40!
351
00:21:01,625 --> 00:21:03,000
Oh! Uh...
352
00:21:04,541 --> 00:21:05,375
Damn.
353
00:21:05,458 --> 00:21:08,458
Antonio, just pick out a villa
on the beach and I'll cover it, okay?
354
00:21:08,583 --> 00:21:10,250
I can't, I'm meeting Radha.
355
00:21:10,333 --> 00:21:14,250
She's still very fragile,
very Miss Sofia after jail, you know?
356
00:21:14,625 --> 00:21:16,000
She needs some cheering up.
357
00:21:16,125 --> 00:21:17,041
Hey.
358
00:21:17,166 --> 00:21:20,708
Oh, my Unabomber realness.
Okay, baby, I'll call you back. Bye.
359
00:21:21,125 --> 00:21:23,625
- Come here! Hey!
- Hey. Hey.
360
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:25,083
How are you?
361
00:21:25,208 --> 00:21:28,291
I'm okay, I'm okay, but listen, I need
to talk to you about something.
362
00:21:28,375 --> 00:21:31,416
- Me, too. So, last night...
- Last night was crazy.
363
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,708
- Something happened after...
- Don't worry about it.
364
00:21:33,791 --> 00:21:35,583
- I know, but something happened after...
- Listen!
365
00:21:35,666 --> 00:21:38,666
Radha, I think there's a way
to smooth things over with Whitman.
366
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:39,750
If we can just...
367
00:21:39,833 --> 00:21:42,083
Got off 145Guess who pass?
368
00:21:42,166 --> 00:21:43,041
What?
369
00:21:43,125 --> 00:21:46,166
A skinny white dude
with the fattest ass
370
00:21:46,250 --> 00:21:48,375
Yo, he was standing with his Becky
371
00:21:48,458 --> 00:21:51,541
When her eyes met mine
She looked away like she was shamed, G
372
00:21:51,625 --> 00:21:53,833
They must have had a real love
373
00:21:53,916 --> 00:21:56,625
Or that bitch had a fetish
For some Black girl butt
374
00:21:56,708 --> 00:21:59,291
But a butt
But a butt painted white
375
00:21:59,375 --> 00:22:01,416
Connected to this pink ding-a-ling
376
00:22:01,500 --> 00:22:02,958
It made me sing
377
00:22:03,041 --> 00:22:06,833
White man with a Black woman's butt
378
00:22:07,583 --> 00:22:10,708
How you carry all that back there?
379
00:22:10,791 --> 00:22:12,916
What the fuck?
380
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:15,833
Yes, what the fuck?
381
00:22:15,916 --> 00:22:19,083
- Look, just... just think about it.
- What? Think about what?
382
00:22:19,166 --> 00:22:20,708
What are you talking about?
383
00:22:20,958 --> 00:22:23,083
Think about me doing hip-hop.
384
00:22:23,666 --> 00:22:24,750
Doing what to it?
385
00:22:25,291 --> 00:22:26,583
I want to make a mixtape.
386
00:22:27,125 --> 00:22:28,541
About a white man's ass?
387
00:22:28,625 --> 00:22:31,625
No, about the 40-year-old woman's
point of view.
388
00:22:31,708 --> 00:22:33,916
Dry vag, soupy tits.
Am I missing something?
389
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,041
Archie, where did I spend
most of my time in high school?
390
00:22:37,125 --> 00:22:38,250
With your regrets.
391
00:22:38,791 --> 00:22:41,000
No, I was in the cafeteria,
392
00:22:41,625 --> 00:22:45,875
beating out beats on the table,
rhyming all day, all night.
393
00:22:45,958 --> 00:22:47,875
All of my composition books
filled with rhymes.
394
00:22:47,958 --> 00:22:50,083
You used to charge people to battle me
395
00:22:50,166 --> 00:22:52,041
because I was the best MC
in high school.
396
00:22:52,125 --> 00:22:54,625
Honey, we are not in high school.
We are almost 40.
397
00:22:55,166 --> 00:22:56,041
So?
398
00:22:56,125 --> 00:22:58,958
So... So that means
I can't make great music?
399
00:22:59,125 --> 00:23:00,583
I can make real music,
400
00:23:00,666 --> 00:23:03,625
not the bullshit that my students
listen to, but real music.
401
00:23:03,708 --> 00:23:08,708
I found this Brownsville DJ-producer
on Instagram.
402
00:23:08,791 --> 00:23:09,833
Oh, my Jesus.
403
00:23:09,916 --> 00:23:12,375
His name is D. He doesn't take calls.
404
00:23:12,458 --> 00:23:16,000
I think you just show up with
a bag of weed or something, but anyway,
405
00:23:16,333 --> 00:23:17,500
his beats...
406
00:23:19,333 --> 00:23:22,333
- Come on, Archie!
- Okay, yeah. Radha. Radha.
407
00:23:22,958 --> 00:23:24,291
Last night we had a bad moment.
408
00:23:24,375 --> 00:23:26,416
See, this is about creating
something that is mine.
409
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:28,125
And now we're having a little breakdown.
410
00:23:28,208 --> 00:23:31,583
Something that doesn't rely
on critics or gatekeepers.
411
00:23:31,666 --> 00:23:33,333
Or choking out a white man?
412
00:23:35,375 --> 00:23:37,958
Do you smell the burning carcass
of friendship?
413
00:23:38,041 --> 00:23:39,375
Yeah, I definitely smell it.
414
00:23:39,458 --> 00:23:41,458
Radha, look, I get it.
415
00:23:41,541 --> 00:23:43,375
Your... Your mom's gone.
416
00:23:44,041 --> 00:23:46,125
You're a little sad, a little stuck.
417
00:23:46,208 --> 00:23:47,208
A lot of eating.
418
00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:50,666
You're in mourning,
but you're not done with theater.
419
00:23:51,291 --> 00:23:54,750
What, so there's a 40 under 40 list
that I don't know about?
420
00:23:57,458 --> 00:24:01,875
Okay, look, you make your little music,
if that's what you need to do.
421
00:24:01,958 --> 00:24:03,875
- Thank you. I appreciate it.
- In the meantime,
422
00:24:03,958 --> 00:24:07,791
I will smooth things over with Whitman,
and you can tighten up your script. Okay?
423
00:24:07,875 --> 00:24:09,041
- Oh, my God.
- Hello?
424
00:24:10,208 --> 00:24:12,083
- Radha.
- Oh, my God.
425
00:24:12,250 --> 00:24:13,083
What?
426
00:24:13,958 --> 00:24:16,750
Two big white butts in one day
427
00:24:17,041 --> 00:24:19,208
They call that an omen, ho-may
428
00:24:19,958 --> 00:24:21,958
Sorry to say, boo-bae
429
00:24:22,416 --> 00:24:24,791
I got rhymes to write today
430
00:24:24,875 --> 00:24:27,583
- Radha? Radha!
- I'll call you later, Archie!
431
00:24:27,666 --> 00:24:29,166
You wanna do what?
432
00:24:29,250 --> 00:24:31,208
Hip hop. Hippity hop.
433
00:24:33,666 --> 00:24:35,250
What's a mixtape?
434
00:24:35,333 --> 00:24:36,333
Really?
435
00:24:36,750 --> 00:24:42,166
We sisters finally got a Michelle Obama
out here and you want to go do this
436
00:24:42,250 --> 00:24:44,750
ri-damn-diculousness?
437
00:24:47,208 --> 00:24:48,041
Hear that?
438
00:24:48,375 --> 00:24:51,125
Harriet Tubman just shot herself
in the afterlife.
439
00:24:51,333 --> 00:24:53,166
Mmm! Mm-mm-mm.
440
00:24:55,791 --> 00:24:59,208
Hey, I straightened upover at Mom's...
441
00:24:59,291 --> 00:25:01,208
but there's a lot of stuff, yo.
442
00:25:01,416 --> 00:25:02,791
When you coming by?
443
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,958
A bunch of your shit is still over there.
444
00:25:06,916 --> 00:25:08,333
Aight, hit me.
445
00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:10,166
Later.
446
00:25:37,875 --> 00:25:38,833
Is D here?
447
00:26:13,833 --> 00:26:15,041
Hey, yo, mama, what you need?
448
00:26:15,125 --> 00:26:16,583
Um...
449
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,500
Beats. Tracks.
450
00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:20,583
For what?
451
00:26:21,666 --> 00:26:22,541
For me.
452
00:26:23,708 --> 00:26:24,875
What, you rhyme?
453
00:26:25,916 --> 00:26:27,708
Yes, I do.
454
00:26:29,208 --> 00:26:33,291
Oh, and, uh, yes, I have currency.
455
00:26:33,375 --> 00:26:34,625
Oh, aight.
456
00:26:34,875 --> 00:26:36,708
No doubt. So what you call yourself?
457
00:26:36,791 --> 00:26:38,750
- Huh?
- So, what they call you?
458
00:26:38,833 --> 00:26:43,833
- What they call you?
- Radha... MUSprime.
459
00:26:45,458 --> 00:26:46,291
What?
460
00:26:46,375 --> 00:26:47,958
RadhaMUSprime.
461
00:26:48,375 --> 00:26:51,250
Oh, shit, like, uh, like Optimus.
- Yeah. Yeah.
462
00:26:51,333 --> 00:26:52,541
Yeah.
463
00:26:52,625 --> 00:26:54,083
Yeah. Yeah, aight.
464
00:26:54,166 --> 00:26:55,625
Yeah, that's me. Yeah.
465
00:26:56,708 --> 00:26:57,791
Hey, yo D.
466
00:26:59,208 --> 00:27:00,291
Yo D!
467
00:27:00,958 --> 00:27:02,125
Yo, this is RadhaMUSprime.
468
00:27:03,083 --> 00:27:04,375
She needs some beats, yo.
469
00:27:11,916 --> 00:27:13,000
Oh!
470
00:27:13,083 --> 00:27:14,833
- Yo, what the fuck?
- Sorry.
471
00:27:14,916 --> 00:27:16,750
Gosh, your poor feet.
472
00:27:37,083 --> 00:27:38,083
I'm good.
473
00:27:52,125 --> 00:27:53,000
Oh, shit.
474
00:27:54,541 --> 00:27:55,958
Shit, what time is it?
475
00:27:56,291 --> 00:27:57,125
Two.
476
00:27:58,458 --> 00:27:59,291
A.M.?
477
00:28:01,250 --> 00:28:02,125
Where's D?
478
00:28:03,291 --> 00:28:04,125
Gone.
479
00:28:05,041 --> 00:28:05,875
Where?
480
00:28:18,083 --> 00:28:20,791
Stupid fucking door. Shit.
481
00:28:21,875 --> 00:28:23,791
I came all the way to Brooklyn
for this bullshit?
482
00:28:24,375 --> 00:28:25,208
Fuck.
483
00:28:28,083 --> 00:28:29,166
Just say it.
484
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,916
Say what you have been meaning
to say to me from the moment that you
485
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,375
first laid eyes on me.
486
00:28:35,833 --> 00:28:37,208
Fine, fine.
487
00:28:39,166 --> 00:28:41,416
I love red meat.
488
00:28:43,666 --> 00:28:46,958
- Congrats, Josh, it's your next hit.
- I try.
489
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:48,791
You look great.
490
00:28:48,875 --> 00:28:50,916
Considering my neck
was in a vice last week.
491
00:28:51,250 --> 00:28:53,458
Again, I'm so sorry.
492
00:28:53,541 --> 00:28:55,125
Can I help you with something?
493
00:28:55,541 --> 00:28:57,916
I want to thank you
for not pressing charges.
494
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,583
Well, it wasn't that tight a grip.
495
00:29:00,666 --> 00:29:01,500
Pilates.
496
00:29:02,458 --> 00:29:03,958
I appreciate your loyalty.
497
00:29:04,041 --> 00:29:06,166
I don't quite understand
the attachment, though.
498
00:29:08,083 --> 00:29:10,958
- She has a real voice.
- She's good. She's not special.
499
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:12,708
That's bullshit.
500
00:29:13,291 --> 00:29:15,666
- She just needs someone to...
- Stop.
501
00:29:15,916 --> 00:29:16,958
Seriously.
502
00:29:18,041 --> 00:29:20,583
Begging doesn't suit
your lovely cheekbones.
503
00:29:23,083 --> 00:29:25,166
You should be producing theater,
504
00:29:25,250 --> 00:29:28,291
not letting some washed-up writer
weigh you down.
505
00:29:29,916 --> 00:29:31,875
- But if you could just reconsider...
- Sorry.
506
00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:35,125
There's nothing else to say.
507
00:29:43,375 --> 00:29:45,583
Boom. So, right, the sperm.
508
00:29:45,666 --> 00:29:47,833
He gotta go through all these different
portals and shit,
509
00:29:47,916 --> 00:29:49,416
like parts of the vagina, the chocha...
510
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:52,708
But at each portal,
he gotta fight mad assault ninjas,
511
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:55,750
like a crab ninja because, you know,
bitch had crabs once.
512
00:29:56,666 --> 00:29:58,916
- We should write in a tampon ninja.
- You're right.
513
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,458
Anyway, so, right, after all these trials,
514
00:30:01,541 --> 00:30:05,083
he finally gets to Vagzilla,
the Queen of the Vaginal Eggs.
515
00:30:05,166 --> 00:30:07,250
I prefer Eggliza though, brother.
516
00:30:07,333 --> 00:30:09,375
Same shit. Now, right?
517
00:30:10,333 --> 00:30:12,625
The queen, she all fine and shit,
518
00:30:12,708 --> 00:30:16,000
but Old Spermy, he gotta seduce
her and shit, so he could...
519
00:30:16,083 --> 00:30:17,833
Come to Be.
520
00:30:18,708 --> 00:30:21,583
You get it? That's the title.
521
00:30:22,208 --> 00:30:23,916
What you... what you thinking?
522
00:30:26,458 --> 00:30:27,583
Sure, why not?
523
00:30:27,666 --> 00:30:28,500
What?
524
00:30:30,666 --> 00:30:32,416
- I already told you.
- Um...
525
00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:34,291
guys, let's pick up next week.
526
00:30:34,375 --> 00:30:37,166
You tight. You tight. You tight.
You dead tight.
527
00:30:37,250 --> 00:30:38,958
Keep it up.
528
00:30:39,625 --> 00:30:41,250
Yeah. I see you, Avery.
529
00:30:41,541 --> 00:30:43,541
Uh, Rosa, Elaine?
530
00:30:44,208 --> 00:30:45,208
What up, Miss B?
531
00:30:45,583 --> 00:30:47,833
Uh, don't "Miss B" me, okay?
532
00:30:49,250 --> 00:30:51,958
Now, the dean said I could kick
the both of you out of the class
533
00:30:52,041 --> 00:30:53,208
after what happened last week.
534
00:30:53,291 --> 00:30:55,000
- No!
- So terrible.
535
00:30:55,083 --> 00:30:56,791
But I won't. Why?
536
00:30:56,875 --> 00:30:59,083
Because even though
we'd all rather be some place
537
00:30:59,166 --> 00:31:00,916
other than this terribly lit room...
538
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,541
- Not me.
- ...we committed to telling a story,
539
00:31:03,625 --> 00:31:06,750
and not some version
of poverty porn, either, okay?
540
00:31:06,833 --> 00:31:09,666
So, don't think if you don't
get what you want, Elaine,
541
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:11,250
that the world should stop for you.
542
00:31:11,333 --> 00:31:12,791
Mmm, I like this, Miss B.
543
00:31:12,875 --> 00:31:15,583
Or that if someone says
something you don't like, Rosa,
544
00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:17,083
you get to choke them the fuck out.
545
00:31:17,166 --> 00:31:18,791
You're right, my bad.
546
00:31:19,791 --> 00:31:23,541
Now, Elaine,
your poem was great. Okay?
547
00:31:24,541 --> 00:31:25,375
Yeah?
548
00:31:25,791 --> 00:31:26,666
Yes!
549
00:31:27,625 --> 00:31:28,458
But...
550
00:31:28,958 --> 00:31:31,000
don't think because you created something
551
00:31:31,083 --> 00:31:33,666
that people would appreciate it, okay?
552
00:31:33,750 --> 00:31:36,000
Or you'll end up some washed-up,
553
00:31:36,083 --> 00:31:39,208
forty-year-old playwright with some
stupid notion to become a rapper
554
00:31:39,291 --> 00:31:43,833
and the shits from drinking a diet drink
that doesn't quite meet the FDA standards.
555
00:31:43,916 --> 00:31:45,916
Now, do you want that for yourselves?
556
00:31:46,083 --> 00:31:47,791
I said, "Is that what you want?"
557
00:31:47,875 --> 00:31:48,833
- No.
- No.
558
00:31:49,958 --> 00:31:50,791
Fine.
559
00:31:50,875 --> 00:31:52,041
A rapper, Miss B?
560
00:31:52,916 --> 00:31:54,166
I'll see you next week.
561
00:31:56,500 --> 00:32:00,625
Wow, she's like Queen Latifah
and Judge Judy, but rolled into one, yo.
562
00:32:08,750 --> 00:32:10,333
- What the fuck?
- Yo, Miss B.
563
00:32:11,625 --> 00:32:13,083
Hey, Avery.
564
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:16,333
Oh, shoot, sorry. I gotta take this.
565
00:32:16,750 --> 00:32:18,375
- Have a good one.
- You, too.
566
00:32:18,458 --> 00:32:20,250
Oh, sweet Jesus.
567
00:32:20,333 --> 00:32:22,333
Yes, I am your salvation.
568
00:32:22,875 --> 00:32:23,875
What's up?
569
00:32:24,416 --> 00:32:26,916
So, I just saw Whitman.
His new play is trash.
570
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Anyway, your name came up.
571
00:32:29,083 --> 00:32:29,916
So?
572
00:32:30,250 --> 00:32:31,958
So, I told him straight up, like,
573
00:32:32,041 --> 00:32:34,333
"What's up with my girl, you know?"
574
00:32:34,541 --> 00:32:36,250
- And he said...
- Wait, hold up, Archie.
575
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:38,333
Uh, hello? Radha?
576
00:32:39,208 --> 00:32:40,250
Hello?
577
00:32:41,041 --> 00:32:42,583
This motherfucker.
578
00:32:43,291 --> 00:32:44,166
Excuse me?
579
00:32:44,458 --> 00:32:45,750
Mmm!
580
00:32:46,208 --> 00:32:48,333
- Hey, Archie, let me call you back.
- No, wait!
581
00:32:48,916 --> 00:32:49,875
Fuck!
582
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:53,166
No, not you. I'd never fuck you.
583
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:57,458
Hey.
584
00:32:57,541 --> 00:32:59,875
The storage people are ready
to pick up stuff,
585
00:33:00,541 --> 00:33:05,250
but I waited... because maybe you want
to look through her stuff first?
586
00:33:06,166 --> 00:33:09,083
Come on! What's the fucking deal?
587
00:33:18,666 --> 00:33:19,541
Hey.
588
00:33:20,708 --> 00:33:23,541
Look, um... I don't know you...
589
00:33:24,291 --> 00:33:28,041
and you damn sure don't know me
to pull some ghosting shit like you did,
590
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:30,666
but, um, nigga, I'm from Brooklyn, too.
591
00:33:30,750 --> 00:33:35,625
Okay?
I grew up on Mother Gaston in the '90s.
592
00:33:35,708 --> 00:33:39,625
By aroma alone, I can tell the difference
between three grades of crack,
593
00:33:39,708 --> 00:33:42,708
so don't go treating me
like I'm some white, newbie hipster
594
00:33:42,791 --> 00:33:46,666
exploring the Black terrain
when I'm fucking from here, okay?
595
00:33:58,416 --> 00:34:00,250
This motherfucker.
596
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,125
If you didn't want to work with me,
you should have just said something.
597
00:34:24,416 --> 00:34:26,208
You know what's really fucked up?
598
00:34:26,791 --> 00:34:29,125
All you so-called "brothers"
letting a sister
599
00:34:29,208 --> 00:34:33,166
walk to a Brownsville train station
by herself at 2:00 a.m. in the morning.
600
00:34:34,708 --> 00:34:36,125
Does that even sound right?
601
00:34:39,541 --> 00:34:41,041
No, it don't.
602
00:34:42,083 --> 00:34:42,916
Okay.
603
00:34:44,083 --> 00:34:45,375
It was, like, 2:10.
604
00:34:46,375 --> 00:34:48,583
You went to the corner bodega
and got some Funyuns.
605
00:34:48,666 --> 00:34:51,541
You went down to the station.
Your train came in, like, ten minutes.
606
00:34:59,166 --> 00:35:00,125
I knew that.
607
00:35:02,083 --> 00:35:03,125
Going in or what?
608
00:35:04,625 --> 00:35:05,541
What, now?
609
00:35:06,416 --> 00:35:07,750
Did you want another beat?
610
00:35:09,583 --> 00:35:10,416
Maybe.
611
00:35:37,916 --> 00:35:39,750
No, wait. The last one.
612
00:35:44,500 --> 00:35:45,958
Oh, shit.
613
00:35:47,875 --> 00:35:49,958
Archie. Jesus.
614
00:35:50,041 --> 00:35:50,875
Um...
615
00:35:50,958 --> 00:35:52,041
I'm so sorry.
616
00:35:53,625 --> 00:35:56,750
He's just... it's my agent.
617
00:35:56,833 --> 00:35:58,291
Um...
618
00:35:58,833 --> 00:36:02,416
I've been working on this...
social commentary
619
00:36:03,291 --> 00:36:09,875
about, um, the white gaze's eroticism
of Black pain, and, um...
620
00:36:13,875 --> 00:36:15,875
Don't you want to know
what I'm rhyming about?
621
00:36:17,083 --> 00:36:18,583
I just make the beats, lady.
622
00:36:20,583 --> 00:36:21,416
Okay.
623
00:36:38,458 --> 00:36:39,541
Sorry.
624
00:36:46,583 --> 00:36:49,625
Aight, so, you gonna come in...
625
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,208
You gonna come in on the eight.
626
00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:25,666
How was that last one?
627
00:38:27,041 --> 00:38:27,958
Good.
628
00:38:30,541 --> 00:38:31,916
It felt good.
629
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,500
If my kids could see me now.
630
00:38:39,291 --> 00:38:40,666
Not my kids, I don't...
631
00:38:41,458 --> 00:38:42,416
I don't have kids.
632
00:38:43,166 --> 00:38:45,500
I mean my students.
633
00:38:47,333 --> 00:38:48,500
I'm a teacher.
634
00:38:48,583 --> 00:38:50,000
I teach playwriting.
635
00:38:51,916 --> 00:38:55,000
I'm a playwright, but I don't really feel
like one these days.
636
00:38:56,291 --> 00:38:59,166
Anyway, my students would get
a real kick out of this.
637
00:38:59,250 --> 00:39:02,791
Not that you're listening
to anything I'm saying.
638
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:08,500
Ah.
639
00:39:14,750 --> 00:39:15,916
Coltrane, huh?
640
00:39:17,541 --> 00:39:19,875
What, I'm from Brownsville,
so I don't know?
641
00:39:20,833 --> 00:39:22,875
No, I'm just saying, Coltrane.
642
00:39:24,458 --> 00:39:26,041
Yeah, my moms put me on.
643
00:39:28,583 --> 00:39:30,166
Your mom has good taste.
644
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,458
So, what does she think of your music?
645
00:39:38,833 --> 00:39:40,458
I don't know. She died.
646
00:39:52,958 --> 00:39:54,250
I'm sorry to hear that.
647
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,541
You know what? Um...
648
00:40:02,791 --> 00:40:03,791
I'm gonna go.
649
00:40:05,875 --> 00:40:08,833
The session was great.
I just should probably get on my way.
650
00:40:11,500 --> 00:40:14,125
Um, but before I forget.
651
00:40:16,583 --> 00:40:18,333
Nah.
652
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:20,583
Don't I owe you for the session?
653
00:40:20,666 --> 00:40:22,583
No, we good from last time. It's cool.
654
00:40:23,333 --> 00:40:24,291
Okay.
655
00:40:25,541 --> 00:40:26,958
More for me.
656
00:40:28,083 --> 00:40:29,583
Okay.
657
00:40:29,916 --> 00:40:32,000
Um, oh, you need me to...
658
00:40:32,083 --> 00:40:36,333
walk you or follow you to the train again?
659
00:40:36,625 --> 00:40:41,750
Uh, no, but, um... I want to come back.
660
00:40:43,708 --> 00:40:45,708
I want to make a mixtape.
661
00:40:48,333 --> 00:40:49,666
- Man.
- What?
662
00:40:50,791 --> 00:40:52,500
Nothing. I mean...
663
00:40:53,041 --> 00:40:55,458
you could. It'd be nice.
664
00:40:56,708 --> 00:40:57,833
What did you just say?
665
00:40:58,750 --> 00:41:00,750
Come on, you heard what I said.
666
00:41:02,416 --> 00:41:05,083
You don't think I'm some crazy old broad
for doing this?
667
00:41:05,791 --> 00:41:07,666
I mean, I ain't say all that...
668
00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:10,500
but what you're doing...
669
00:41:11,916 --> 00:41:12,916
it's interesting.
670
00:41:15,250 --> 00:41:16,083
Thanks, D.
671
00:41:18,541 --> 00:41:20,125
I'm gonna go.
672
00:41:20,416 --> 00:41:21,750
Yeah, thanks.
673
00:41:25,333 --> 00:41:26,291
Yo.
674
00:41:28,250 --> 00:41:29,625
What you doing on Thursday?
675
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,791
Poverty pornI'll write some poverty porn
676
00:41:36,666 --> 00:41:38,041
Yeah, bitch.
677
00:41:38,125 --> 00:41:39,833
- Archie...
- Don't "Archie" me.
678
00:41:39,916 --> 00:41:41,625
I was just about to call you.
679
00:41:41,708 --> 00:41:44,000
You got me waiting
in your not-gentrified-enough-for-me
680
00:41:44,083 --> 00:41:46,625
part of Harlem getting harassed
by Homeless Harry over there.
681
00:41:46,708 --> 00:41:48,333
It's Lamont...
682
00:41:48,416 --> 00:41:49,250
but okay.
683
00:41:49,333 --> 00:41:51,250
- Look, I want...
- No, you look.
684
00:41:51,333 --> 00:41:55,041
You're blowing me off when I'm trying to
tell your tired, unproduced ass
685
00:41:55,125 --> 00:41:56,375
some good news.
686
00:41:56,458 --> 00:41:57,333
What?
687
00:41:58,125 --> 00:42:00,625
Harlem fucking Ave.
688
00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:02,958
Whitman wants to produce it.
689
00:42:03,375 --> 00:42:04,291
What?
690
00:42:04,375 --> 00:42:07,208
He said he's over the thing
and wants to do your play,
691
00:42:07,291 --> 00:42:10,875
pending we make some changes around length
and tone and did I say length?
692
00:42:11,291 --> 00:42:13,333
Doesn't matter. He's all in.
693
00:42:13,583 --> 00:42:14,708
Mmm...
694
00:42:15,208 --> 00:42:16,416
- What?
- I don't know.
695
00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:18,791
Does that... does this even feel right?
696
00:42:18,875 --> 00:42:21,041
Does an after-dinner fart feel right?
Hell's yes.
697
00:42:21,125 --> 00:42:22,583
No, I mean...
698
00:42:23,333 --> 00:42:27,458
do I want to compromise my play
for some arrogant asshole?
699
00:42:28,166 --> 00:42:30,500
- You choked that asshole.
- Shh.
700
00:42:30,583 --> 00:42:32,750
That asshole didn't press charges.
701
00:42:32,833 --> 00:42:36,166
That asshole still wants to work with you.
702
00:42:37,166 --> 00:42:40,000
This is the major production you wanted.
703
00:42:40,333 --> 00:42:43,291
Yeah, but do I want it this way?
704
00:42:46,041 --> 00:42:47,166
What?
705
00:42:47,250 --> 00:42:50,958
You know, the whole "us against the world"
thing was cute in high school,
706
00:42:51,416 --> 00:42:55,291
but I like opportunity,
and eating out, and silken robes.
707
00:42:56,666 --> 00:42:59,333
Just know, to stay an underdog,
you have to lose shit.
708
00:42:59,875 --> 00:43:01,750
Archie, we can find another producer.
709
00:43:01,833 --> 00:43:03,000
I'm talking about me.
710
00:43:04,375 --> 00:43:05,333
What?
711
00:43:06,833 --> 00:43:09,541
Archie, you don't even mean that.
712
00:43:09,625 --> 00:43:13,916
I've known you since I was skinny
and you pretended to like girls.
713
00:43:14,708 --> 00:43:17,833
Look, I'm doing this show on Thursday.
714
00:43:18,250 --> 00:43:19,500
Show? With who?
715
00:43:20,041 --> 00:43:21,458
D from Brownsville.
716
00:43:21,958 --> 00:43:23,666
He's doing this artist showcase
717
00:43:24,125 --> 00:43:27,291
- and he invited RadhaMUSprime to perform.
- Who-da-mus?
718
00:43:28,958 --> 00:43:30,791
Seriously, it would mean a lot
if you came.
719
00:43:34,375 --> 00:43:35,208
Archie.
720
00:43:36,458 --> 00:43:39,500
Give a bitch a chance, man.
721
00:43:39,583 --> 00:43:42,125
Her desperation is making me nauseous,
722
00:43:42,208 --> 00:43:46,750
although technically, you gotta eat
something to throw up, know what I mean?
723
00:43:48,458 --> 00:43:51,166
Whitman had some notes.
Will you look them over?
724
00:43:52,041 --> 00:43:53,875
I will seriously consider it.
725
00:43:56,458 --> 00:43:57,458
See you on Thursday?
726
00:43:57,541 --> 00:43:59,458
Whatever, bitch. Look at the notes.
727
00:43:59,541 --> 00:44:00,708
You 40 yet?
728
00:44:00,791 --> 00:44:02,000
Not yet, ma'am.
729
00:44:02,083 --> 00:44:03,791
Still trying that rapping shit?
730
00:44:03,875 --> 00:44:05,333
Yes, I am, ma'am.
731
00:44:05,416 --> 00:44:07,291
You know, you're not going to be satisfied
732
00:44:07,375 --> 00:44:10,541
until you sleeping in a box
like that fool over there.
733
00:44:10,958 --> 00:44:12,125
Hey, mama.
734
00:44:12,208 --> 00:44:14,708
Shut up with that mama mess.
735
00:44:14,791 --> 00:44:16,583
I'll beat some homeless ass.
736
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,500
Why are you guys still here?
737
00:44:30,458 --> 00:44:31,333
Hello?
738
00:44:31,916 --> 00:44:35,791
My ex-girl's older half cousin
says you rhyming in a show.
739
00:44:36,708 --> 00:44:37,750
It's true, Miss B?
740
00:44:40,208 --> 00:44:41,958
Don't you guys have some place to be?
741
00:44:42,041 --> 00:44:44,375
- Damn, it's like that?
- For real?
742
00:44:44,708 --> 00:44:46,458
You just gonna shut the youth
out of a moment
743
00:44:46,541 --> 00:44:48,208
that could potentially
change how we dream,
744
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:50,791
how we look at the cold world out there,
how we confront...
745
00:44:50,875 --> 00:44:53,083
Yes, damn it. Okay.
746
00:44:53,166 --> 00:44:55,000
Shit. That's what's up, Miss B.
747
00:44:56,333 --> 00:44:59,500
- Yo, we can come through, right?
- Mmm. I don't know, guys.
748
00:44:59,583 --> 00:45:01,208
Come on, Miss B.
749
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000
You know we live
for this kind of shit.
750
00:45:04,083 --> 00:45:07,125
And you not just talking about shit.
You making shit. Shit!
751
00:45:10,250 --> 00:45:11,541
Okay, but just you two.
752
00:45:11,625 --> 00:45:14,625
- Ooh-hoo-hoo!
- Okay, you cannot tell another soul.
753
00:45:14,708 --> 00:45:15,583
Bet!
754
00:45:15,791 --> 00:45:19,041
We got you Miss B.
Mum's the fucking word.
755
00:45:20,083 --> 00:45:21,791
We all on that damn list.
756
00:45:21,875 --> 00:45:24,208
Ain't no minors here. We're majors, son.
757
00:45:24,291 --> 00:45:27,541
- Why you trying to play us?
- What you want, some money, some weed?
758
00:45:27,625 --> 00:45:30,000
Shut up, stupid and stupider.
759
00:45:30,458 --> 00:45:31,375
I got this.
760
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,958
Now, you know the charge
for looking at a minor's titties?
761
00:45:38,750 --> 00:45:39,583
Yeah.
762
00:45:39,666 --> 00:45:42,166
You know the charge.
That's what I'm talking about.
763
00:45:42,333 --> 00:45:43,333
This is my friend.
764
00:45:46,458 --> 00:45:47,708
That's your moms?
765
00:45:48,666 --> 00:45:50,166
- Yeah.
- She coming?
766
00:45:51,750 --> 00:45:53,666
In spirit, I guess.
767
00:45:57,333 --> 00:45:58,458
Oh, shit.
768
00:45:59,333 --> 00:46:00,833
Yo, why you ain't say nothing?
769
00:46:02,750 --> 00:46:06,291
Don't you get tired of adding people
to the dead-mom club in your head?
770
00:46:11,291 --> 00:46:13,833
That's what we doing now?
771
00:46:14,291 --> 00:46:16,875
Yeah, that's what we doing now. Shit.
772
00:46:17,291 --> 00:46:18,708
"That's what we doing now,"
773
00:46:18,791 --> 00:46:21,666
says the person with the metabolism
of a baby goat.
774
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:23,500
You'll see.
775
00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:26,458
It gets much harder to lose weight
when you get older.
776
00:46:28,666 --> 00:46:30,666
Well, there ain't nothing wrong with you.
777
00:46:31,291 --> 00:46:33,166
Mm. No, just my nerves.
778
00:46:34,166 --> 00:46:35,750
Yo, it is one song.
779
00:46:35,833 --> 00:46:37,291
I know, but I just...
780
00:46:37,375 --> 00:46:39,833
- Now, come on. Let's go.
- What?
781
00:46:39,916 --> 00:46:40,833
Where we going?
782
00:46:41,833 --> 00:46:42,958
Where we going?
783
00:46:43,041 --> 00:46:46,458
Like, I eat Vietnamese foodI ain't going for the top spot
784
00:46:46,541 --> 00:46:47,666
No.
785
00:46:47,833 --> 00:46:50,250
Come on. It's gonna chill you out.
786
00:46:50,708 --> 00:46:51,541
Trust me.
787
00:46:52,333 --> 00:46:55,166
I write liquor flowsAnd draft beers the fans hearing
788
00:46:55,250 --> 00:46:57,250
If you have ears, come give Mick a lobe
789
00:46:57,916 --> 00:46:59,958
Ambidextrous, tag team drawn
790
00:47:00,041 --> 00:47:02,666
Both hands on the bars
Like a trapeze artist
791
00:47:02,791 --> 00:47:05,416
- Ooh!
- Inverted triangle on the overcoat
792
00:47:05,500 --> 00:47:07,666
I feel like Forrest Gump
When he lost polio
793
00:47:08,125 --> 00:47:10,458
That was too straightforward
Let me space out
794
00:47:10,583 --> 00:47:13,041
I'm glad that I had the gumption
To break out
795
00:47:13,125 --> 00:47:15,125
If y'all ain't catch that bars
Time to OD
796
00:47:15,208 --> 00:47:18,208
Brace yourself
Gumption is what broke free
797
00:47:19,333 --> 00:47:20,333
Okay.
798
00:47:20,416 --> 00:47:23,291
Another brother diedAll they did was make a shirt of it
799
00:47:23,375 --> 00:47:24,875
I was there in body and spirit
800
00:47:24,958 --> 00:47:27,708
These is my lyrics
Niggas hang on every word of it
801
00:47:28,375 --> 00:47:30,750
I'mma trim the fat like a Foreman Grill
802
00:47:30,833 --> 00:47:32,833
I give you the word like a foreign film
803
00:47:32,916 --> 00:47:35,333
Politicians been a problem
Since the birth of it
804
00:47:35,416 --> 00:47:37,750
I don't fit into your vision
Every different stance
805
00:47:37,833 --> 00:47:40,208
Vincent van Gogh
Because the left never heard of it
806
00:47:40,291 --> 00:47:41,291
Woo!
807
00:47:41,375 --> 00:47:43,333
Niggas act like I actually like
That conscious shit
808
00:47:43,416 --> 00:47:45,916
Nah, my spirit been there
All my albums is posthumous
809
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,166
I see motherfuckers pay a grip
For an Oculus Rift
810
00:47:48,250 --> 00:47:50,500
And still can't see it through
My fucking eyes and shit
811
00:47:50,583 --> 00:47:53,500
I didn't beat the odds and shit
Niggas where I'm from don't see the prize
812
00:47:53,583 --> 00:47:56,458
All our moms believe in God
And all they sons is demonized
813
00:47:56,541 --> 00:47:59,583
I thought going to school was selfish
Because of how expensive college is
814
00:47:59,666 --> 00:48:02,250
Now, I do a college and get paid
A fucking scholarship
815
00:48:02,333 --> 00:48:03,416
Woo!
816
00:48:03,500 --> 00:48:05,000
Crazy, bro. Crazy.
817
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,791
Um...
818
00:48:08,041 --> 00:48:08,916
Oh, okay.
819
00:48:10,333 --> 00:48:12,500
Yo, this be a moment, B
820
00:48:12,583 --> 00:48:14,291
Down in all these groceries
821
00:48:14,375 --> 00:48:18,083
Niggas act like they don't notice me
But they ashen, get some lotion, B
822
00:48:18,166 --> 00:48:21,041
RadhaMUS is the chosen, see
823
00:48:21,125 --> 00:48:22,833
At the top of the totem tree
824
00:48:23,208 --> 00:48:25,625
While these niggas hang low
Like them scrotums be
825
00:48:26,083 --> 00:48:28,541
You're not pee
So you're just loaders, free
826
00:48:28,625 --> 00:48:30,833
You're both crooked and straight bogus, B
827
00:48:30,916 --> 00:48:32,583
Your own momma is toasting me
828
00:48:32,666 --> 00:48:34,458
She second that emotion, B
829
00:48:34,541 --> 00:48:36,583
Yo, get some power and stop ghosting me
830
00:48:36,666 --> 00:48:37,916
Okay!
831
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,083
Shiny bevels, swarmy levels
Where your devotion be?
832
00:48:41,750 --> 00:48:44,416
Yo, yo, it's almost time to go
833
00:48:44,500 --> 00:48:47,000
I hope I do D proud enough
To give a bitch some more
834
00:48:47,083 --> 00:48:50,458
Because I'm hooked, shook
Gotta pain for them beats, hits
835
00:48:50,541 --> 00:48:52,208
Like a diabetic for sweet shit
836
00:48:52,708 --> 00:48:55,791
If beat's the mother of invention
Then I'm sucking on her sweet tit
837
00:48:55,875 --> 00:48:56,750
Damn!
838
00:48:56,833 --> 00:48:58,125
That's crazy! That's good.
839
00:48:58,208 --> 00:49:00,958
Yo, look. It's a packed show up there.
840
00:49:01,041 --> 00:49:02,000
I'mma see y'all, aight?
841
00:49:02,083 --> 00:49:03,416
Aight, yeah, I'mma go up with you.
842
00:49:06,666 --> 00:49:08,166
Sucking on her sweet tit?
843
00:49:08,250 --> 00:49:09,250
You fuck with girls?
844
00:49:15,625 --> 00:49:17,458
All right!
845
00:49:17,833 --> 00:49:19,125
All right.
846
00:49:19,208 --> 00:49:21,166
Y'all feeling good tonight?
Having a good time?
847
00:49:21,250 --> 00:49:23,166
- Yeah!
- All right, all right.
848
00:49:23,250 --> 00:49:26,416
Thanks so much for coming out
to support our little showcase, man.
849
00:49:26,500 --> 00:49:29,125
Yo, D worked so hard on all the beats
your hear tonight.
850
00:49:29,208 --> 00:49:31,625
So let's give it up for D, man.
851
00:49:31,708 --> 00:49:34,041
Give me some of that Big D energy.
852
00:49:34,125 --> 00:49:35,958
Yeah, yeah. All right.
853
00:49:41,250 --> 00:49:43,291
Oh, no. I'm good. Thank you.
854
00:49:44,375 --> 00:49:46,208
You said you want to keep flowing, right?
855
00:49:47,458 --> 00:49:50,625
Okay. Yeah, it's a little puff, right?
856
00:49:50,833 --> 00:49:51,666
Yeah.
857
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Mmm!
858
00:50:00,208 --> 00:50:02,583
Yeah, RadhaMUS!
859
00:50:02,750 --> 00:50:04,291
Yeah. Flowing.
860
00:50:05,333 --> 00:50:06,291
Mmm.
861
00:50:07,750 --> 00:50:09,166
Is that Colorado? That's...
862
00:50:10,291 --> 00:50:12,875
I can't take any credit for this next act.
863
00:50:12,958 --> 00:50:15,291
No, this is all D's discovery, yo.
864
00:50:15,625 --> 00:50:20,625
Give it up for a much older female MC,
RadhaMUSprime!
865
00:50:28,291 --> 00:50:29,500
Yeah, Miss B!
866
00:50:30,541 --> 00:50:32,791
Hey, guys. Thanks for coming out.
867
00:50:32,875 --> 00:50:34,875
Friends, students.
868
00:50:36,625 --> 00:50:40,916
Kick that beat, DJ. D... J.
869
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:43,916
Yeah.
870
00:50:45,291 --> 00:50:46,625
Yo. Uh!
871
00:50:47,375 --> 00:50:48,375
Yeah.
872
00:50:48,458 --> 00:50:51,583
It's RadhaMUSprime. 40-year-old version.
873
00:50:52,083 --> 00:50:53,333
Go, Radha!
874
00:51:01,916 --> 00:51:04,291
Yo. Archie?
875
00:51:05,666 --> 00:51:06,958
Oh, my God, Archie?
876
00:51:07,041 --> 00:51:09,166
DJ, DJ, cut the music off.
877
00:51:09,250 --> 00:51:10,291
Cut the music off.
878
00:51:11,458 --> 00:51:13,625
Oh, my God, Archie. You came to my show.
879
00:51:13,708 --> 00:51:15,166
You never let me down, do you?
880
00:51:15,750 --> 00:51:19,041
Guys, give it up for Archie.
This is my best friend since...
881
00:51:21,041 --> 00:51:25,666
You can't tell right now, but he used
to have a beard in high school.
882
00:51:29,875 --> 00:51:31,958
Oh, my God! That was funny.
883
00:51:32,041 --> 00:51:35,625
Before I go on,
let's give it up for D,
884
00:51:35,708 --> 00:51:39,625
who awesomely crafted all the beats
that you're hearing here tonight...
885
00:51:41,333 --> 00:51:45,333
...making Brooklyn and his dead mother
so proud, you know.
886
00:51:46,041 --> 00:51:47,375
See, not all Black men
887
00:51:47,458 --> 00:51:51,458
are in jail knocking up babies
that they can't take care of.
888
00:51:53,458 --> 00:51:54,416
Woke.
889
00:51:54,500 --> 00:51:56,833
So, uh... Sorry.
890
00:51:56,916 --> 00:51:58,791
Bring that beat back. How about that?
891
00:51:58,875 --> 00:52:00,500
Huh? Huh?
892
00:52:00,583 --> 00:52:01,583
Yeah.
893
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:03,583
Come on, y'all.
894
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Yo?
895
00:52:34,916 --> 00:52:37,500
Archie, what's wrong with me?
896
00:52:37,583 --> 00:52:40,083
Hey, it's okay.
897
00:52:40,791 --> 00:52:43,208
I'm not a fucking rapper.
898
00:52:43,291 --> 00:52:45,000
I'm a playwright.
899
00:52:46,708 --> 00:52:50,625
Oh, God. Give me a chance
to make this right.
900
00:52:50,708 --> 00:52:52,041
Oh! Oh, God.
901
00:52:52,666 --> 00:52:55,125
I'm... I'm still rhyming,
902
00:52:55,208 --> 00:52:57,458
and I didn't mean to rhyme,
903
00:52:57,833 --> 00:52:59,583
not that time.
904
00:52:59,666 --> 00:53:01,708
Oh, God, I'm still doing it.
905
00:53:03,125 --> 00:53:05,166
Damn. Damn, damn.
906
00:53:05,250 --> 00:53:07,458
Oh, I'm so sorry.
907
00:53:07,541 --> 00:53:10,083
Oh, my poor ebony flower.
908
00:53:10,625 --> 00:53:16,125
I'm not going to use
my lips to tell you I told you so, but...
909
00:53:20,916 --> 00:53:23,791
Folks out there is watching us.
910
00:53:24,708 --> 00:53:28,250
We gots to give
some kind of contribution.
911
00:53:30,250 --> 00:53:31,125
You know?
912
00:54:21,750 --> 00:54:23,125
Did you want them back?
913
00:54:23,833 --> 00:54:24,916
Mm-mm.
914
00:54:25,541 --> 00:54:27,458
Why? They're yours.
915
00:54:28,250 --> 00:54:29,166
You paid for them.
916
00:54:30,666 --> 00:54:33,416
You were one of her few actual patrons.
917
00:54:37,416 --> 00:54:41,625
You know, they say that after your
mother dies you see her in a dream, but...
918
00:54:42,666 --> 00:54:44,416
a whole year passes and nothing.
919
00:54:46,250 --> 00:54:49,875
Oh, shit, even my dreams need rewrites.
920
00:54:51,166 --> 00:54:52,666
You should talk to someone.
921
00:54:54,166 --> 00:54:55,750
How's your brother holding up?
922
00:54:56,208 --> 00:54:58,791
I don't know. We keep missing each other.
923
00:55:02,833 --> 00:55:03,916
Wait a minute.
924
00:55:04,833 --> 00:55:05,875
Where's Antonio?
925
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,041
He left.
926
00:55:09,041 --> 00:55:11,541
What?
927
00:55:12,333 --> 00:55:14,541
- Jack Llenna's premiere got moved.
- Mm-hmm.
928
00:55:14,666 --> 00:55:16,958
He's my top-grossing client.
I couldn't miss it.
929
00:55:17,916 --> 00:55:20,083
So, I had to postpone Greece.
930
00:55:20,791 --> 00:55:23,000
No thongs. Shit.
931
00:55:24,250 --> 00:55:28,750
Antonio lost it. Said I care more
about my clients than I do him.
932
00:55:29,416 --> 00:55:30,250
Lies.
933
00:55:35,250 --> 00:55:37,916
Well, you know what? Fuck Antonio.
934
00:55:38,166 --> 00:55:39,750
Maybe now you can date Korean.
935
00:55:39,833 --> 00:55:41,291
You sound like my mother.
936
00:55:41,375 --> 00:55:43,500
"Why you not try Korean guy?"
937
00:55:43,666 --> 00:55:45,625
"Why you not bring Korean baby?"
938
00:55:45,708 --> 00:55:47,291
- Um, no.
- What?
939
00:55:47,958 --> 00:55:50,708
What? Oh, I can't do that
because I'm Black?
940
00:55:50,791 --> 00:55:52,291
Uh, who's racist now?
941
00:55:52,375 --> 00:55:55,541
And scene.
That's a wrap on Shut the Fuck Up.
942
00:56:05,375 --> 00:56:06,208
I'll do it.
943
00:56:06,875 --> 00:56:07,791
Shut the Fuck Up?
944
00:56:09,041 --> 00:56:10,041
No, Whitman.
945
00:56:11,666 --> 00:56:13,916
I'll do the play if you think
that he would still...
946
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,583
Of course. I had him in the palm...
947
00:56:17,875 --> 00:56:18,875
He'll do it.
948
00:56:20,958 --> 00:56:22,041
Are you sure?
949
00:56:23,458 --> 00:56:24,291
Yeah.
950
00:56:28,666 --> 00:56:30,666
"Come. Drink of mommy milk."
951
00:56:34,625 --> 00:56:37,708
Look, I ain't say that you couldn't,
952
00:56:38,250 --> 00:56:39,458
but you shouldn't.
953
00:56:40,416 --> 00:56:43,666
Not some rapping pipe dream at your age.
954
00:56:43,750 --> 00:56:44,875
Hell no!
955
00:56:46,041 --> 00:56:48,416
We gots to be sensible.
956
00:56:54,666 --> 00:56:56,458
Now, since retiring,
957
00:56:57,416 --> 00:57:00,208
I took it upon myself to impart
958
00:57:00,291 --> 00:57:03,500
my own ministry of truth around Harlem.
959
00:57:07,125 --> 00:57:09,166
You might not want to hear the truth,
960
00:57:11,916 --> 00:57:13,916
but like these mosquitoes...
961
00:57:16,375 --> 00:57:18,166
...I'm biting that ass.
962
00:57:30,458 --> 00:57:33,333
- I love the new characters.
- You do?
963
00:57:33,416 --> 00:57:37,250
Yes. The sassy old Black woman
doling out unwanted advice.
964
00:57:37,333 --> 00:57:38,708
Love her.
965
00:57:38,791 --> 00:57:43,208
The teens are fine. You just need to
spice them up with a little rap number.
966
00:57:43,833 --> 00:57:44,833
Hmm.
967
00:57:44,916 --> 00:57:45,750
Don't stress.
968
00:57:45,833 --> 00:57:49,375
We're going to organize a workshop
and you'll be able to see all the changes.
969
00:57:49,708 --> 00:57:51,250
Great. Um...
970
00:57:52,166 --> 00:57:56,666
Before I forget, I just wanted
to say to you that I...
971
00:57:56,750 --> 00:57:58,750
It's okay. I spoke to Archie.
972
00:57:59,208 --> 00:58:01,375
And I know about your dead mom
973
00:58:01,458 --> 00:58:03,458
and how sorry you are for choking me.
974
00:58:03,708 --> 00:58:05,583
- Mmm.
- Look, no more apologies.
975
00:58:05,666 --> 00:58:08,250
- I'm over it and we can move on.
- Okay.
976
00:58:08,416 --> 00:58:12,625
Plus, we've got a little buzz,
and buzz means butts in seats.
977
00:58:12,708 --> 00:58:14,166
Great.
978
00:58:15,250 --> 00:58:18,833
I also wanted to talk to you about...
979
00:58:19,916 --> 00:58:22,375
having a Black director is really
important to me.
980
00:58:22,458 --> 00:58:25,375
Of course, we want that for you, too.
We'll make that happen.
981
00:58:25,458 --> 00:58:26,875
- Okay? All right.
- Yeah.
982
00:58:27,625 --> 00:58:29,416
- Oh, one more note...
- Mm-hmm?
983
00:58:29,541 --> 00:58:30,875
Gentrification.
984
00:58:31,583 --> 00:58:34,916
It shouldn't just be this thing
that's happening out there.
985
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,375
We need to personify it in the play,
you know?
986
00:58:38,833 --> 00:58:41,583
- Not quite.
- Well... well, look...
987
00:58:41,708 --> 00:58:45,333
If we have a Black couple
facing gentrification in Harlem,
988
00:58:46,291 --> 00:58:49,041
we need to know just who's gentrifying.
989
00:58:52,041 --> 00:58:54,958
Mmm, I don't know. See, my play is about...
990
00:58:55,041 --> 00:58:56,458
I know what your play's about,
991
00:58:56,541 --> 00:58:58,708
and I also know we need to grab
the core audience.
992
00:59:00,291 --> 00:59:03,333
And to do that,
you have to write them in the play.
993
00:59:06,833 --> 00:59:07,666
Good.
994
00:59:12,750 --> 00:59:15,625
I wish I could have been there.
Oh, my God.
995
00:59:15,708 --> 00:59:17,833
She's like, "Yo, yo, yo!"
996
00:59:18,125 --> 00:59:21,666
Okay, fine. So we have this spermazoid.
997
00:59:22,083 --> 00:59:24,083
Ah, but what is his motivation?
998
00:59:24,458 --> 00:59:26,375
- What is he after? You know?
- Hey.
999
00:59:27,375 --> 00:59:30,333
Heard your show was "da bomb."
1000
00:59:30,500 --> 00:59:32,958
"Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!"
1001
00:59:33,041 --> 00:59:34,833
RadhaMUS? More like NotiMUS.
1002
00:59:37,458 --> 00:59:38,916
I'll bust her ass if you want.
1003
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,208
Man, fuck her, Miss B.
1004
00:59:41,916 --> 00:59:44,541
Aight? We just glad to have you back.
We missed you.
1005
00:59:45,291 --> 00:59:47,583
Word, yo. What happened up there?
1006
00:59:48,166 --> 00:59:50,416
Sound like you was having
a stroke or something.
1007
00:59:50,500 --> 00:59:53,583
No pendejo.
Clearly she had a nervous breakdown.
1008
00:59:54,958 --> 00:59:58,416
They was calling you "frozen yo-gurt,"
Miss B.
1009
00:59:58,500 --> 01:00:01,250
I heard somebody say "the human yo-yo."
1010
01:00:02,166 --> 01:00:03,250
You want to talk about it?
1011
01:00:25,625 --> 01:00:28,083
So, you're okay with everything, then?
1012
01:00:28,625 --> 01:00:32,708
Well, no, it's not the director
that I wanted, you know?
1013
01:00:32,791 --> 01:00:35,708
Her all-male version of Steel Magnolias
was amazing.
1014
01:00:36,041 --> 01:00:37,125
There go my fears.
1015
01:00:37,625 --> 01:00:39,458
It's just a workshop, right?
1016
01:00:39,541 --> 01:00:43,583
No, you're right. It's just a workshop.
I'm going to power through it.
1017
01:00:44,416 --> 01:00:45,416
That's my girl.
1018
01:00:47,416 --> 01:00:50,416
- Look, Archie, I'm gonna call you later.
- Okay, bye.
1019
01:00:50,500 --> 01:00:51,541
Thanks.
1020
01:00:52,416 --> 01:00:54,583
- Hey, girl!
- Hey!
1021
01:00:56,500 --> 01:00:58,708
You recovered from the other night?
1022
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,166
Who, me? Oh, yeah. No, I'm good.
1023
01:01:01,458 --> 01:01:07,458
Yeah, that was like a live... performance
experimental thing that I was going for.
1024
01:01:07,541 --> 01:01:08,625
But I'm glad you're here.
1025
01:01:08,708 --> 01:01:10,708
- Girl, you know I love this play.
- Cool.
1026
01:01:10,791 --> 01:01:14,291
I mean, it's a bit different
than I remember.
1027
01:01:14,375 --> 01:01:16,916
Yeah, my producer gave me some notes.
1028
01:01:17,416 --> 01:01:20,166
Um, turns out I don't need 15 characters.
1029
01:01:21,333 --> 01:01:23,750
And he's writing the check,
so you know how that goes.
1030
01:01:23,833 --> 01:01:26,875
- Yeah.
- So you fine with all the changes?
1031
01:01:27,750 --> 01:01:28,791
Uh, yeah.
1032
01:01:29,166 --> 01:01:31,166
Yeah. I mean, you know, Stacey,
1033
01:01:31,250 --> 01:01:34,625
writing is rewriting,
and I just decided with this draft,
1034
01:01:34,708 --> 01:01:38,416
to hone in on a more, uh,
universal tone, you know?
1035
01:01:39,625 --> 01:01:40,458
Harlem.
1036
01:01:41,208 --> 01:01:44,333
For all its color and splendor
and beauty,
1037
01:01:44,791 --> 01:01:47,166
still has a way to go, you know?
1038
01:01:47,958 --> 01:01:51,916
Like, what's a girl gotta do
to get some soy milk around here?
1039
01:01:58,291 --> 01:02:02,250
Baby, I hear you. I'm not suggesting
we change our whole flow,
1040
01:02:02,333 --> 01:02:06,291
just that we incorporate some of
the things these new Harlemites want.
1041
01:02:06,375 --> 01:02:08,041
"New Harlemites"?
1042
01:02:08,125 --> 01:02:09,833
Does that even sound right?
1043
01:02:09,916 --> 01:02:12,125
Baby, we can't be changing for them.
1044
01:02:12,208 --> 01:02:13,125
We gots to...
1045
01:02:15,916 --> 01:02:17,000
We gots to...
1046
01:02:19,083 --> 01:02:20,500
Um, Radha?
1047
01:02:22,125 --> 01:02:22,958
Yeah.
1048
01:02:23,291 --> 01:02:24,625
Look, I don't mean to...
1049
01:02:24,708 --> 01:02:26,875
No. Go ahead.
This is exactly why we're here.
1050
01:02:26,958 --> 01:02:28,875
This is the work. We are working it.
1051
01:02:28,958 --> 01:02:31,708
Okay. Why is she talking like this?
1052
01:02:33,333 --> 01:02:34,833
Um...
1053
01:02:35,125 --> 01:02:37,416
- Uh, that's a good question.
- Mm-hmm.
1054
01:02:37,500 --> 01:02:41,666
The wife, she is trying
to persuade her husband.
1055
01:02:42,291 --> 01:02:45,833
He wants to stock the shelves
with soy milk,
1056
01:02:45,916 --> 01:02:48,166
and she's concerned
about the gentrification.
1057
01:02:48,250 --> 01:02:51,583
No, no, I know what her concerns are.
1058
01:02:51,666 --> 01:02:53,916
I'm wondering about the language.
1059
01:02:54,500 --> 01:02:57,708
Ah! The vernacular, the verbiage.
1060
01:02:57,791 --> 01:03:00,958
Um, well, um,
why don't we ask our playwright?
1061
01:03:03,375 --> 01:03:09,166
Okay. Uh, well, the wife, um...
she's from the old school.
1062
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:10,791
She's 35.
1063
01:03:10,875 --> 01:03:12,875
I know. I know that.
1064
01:03:13,666 --> 01:03:14,708
I know that.
1065
01:03:15,375 --> 01:03:17,958
Um, I guess what I mean is that she
1066
01:03:18,333 --> 01:03:24,208
is rooted in, like,
a deep... Southern mystical charm.
1067
01:03:24,291 --> 01:03:26,500
- You know?
- Not quite.
1068
01:03:27,416 --> 01:03:28,250
I get it.
1069
01:03:28,833 --> 01:03:33,750
I'm wondering why she's the only
character talking like that.
1070
01:03:33,833 --> 01:03:37,791
Jamie doesn't talk like that.
Marcus doesn't talk like that.
1071
01:03:38,125 --> 01:03:43,083
Okay, the fact that the wife speaks
one way and Jamie speaks another
1072
01:03:43,166 --> 01:03:44,958
is because, um...
1073
01:03:45,166 --> 01:03:48,416
- I'm white.
- No, no, no! No!
1074
01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:49,458
No, no, no.
1075
01:03:49,541 --> 01:03:53,375
Race in this moment
is completely irrelevant.
1076
01:03:53,458 --> 01:03:57,125
Okay, look, I know why
the wife speaks this way.
1077
01:03:57,208 --> 01:04:01,458
I just, uh, can't quite articulate that,
but I need for you to keep
1078
01:04:01,541 --> 01:04:04,375
talking that way
so I can learn what it is
1079
01:04:04,458 --> 01:04:09,166
and then give that to you
so that you can then give that to us.
1080
01:04:09,250 --> 01:04:10,083
Okay?
1081
01:04:10,541 --> 01:04:11,416
Okay.
1082
01:04:12,750 --> 01:04:14,000
Back to it, baby.
1083
01:04:19,041 --> 01:04:21,791
I... wow. I am so sorry.
1084
01:04:21,875 --> 01:04:24,666
I'm just gonna take this really quickly.
1085
01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:30,500
Hello?
1086
01:04:45,500 --> 01:04:47,500
And, uh, who the fuck is that?
1087
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,333
RosettaMUSprime.
1088
01:04:50,208 --> 01:04:51,083
Funny.
1089
01:04:51,458 --> 01:04:53,833
I mean, you don't want these beats.
1090
01:04:53,916 --> 01:04:55,333
I never said that.
1091
01:04:56,041 --> 01:05:00,625
Look, I sent you, like, 300 texts,
my nigga, and I don't text.
1092
01:05:00,958 --> 01:05:04,375
Yeah, uh, I've just been busy
with rehearsals of my play.
1093
01:05:04,916 --> 01:05:06,583
Yo, when we finishing this shit?
1094
01:05:08,625 --> 01:05:09,791
You had a bad night.
1095
01:05:09,875 --> 01:05:12,125
No, I had a lapse in judgment.
1096
01:05:12,208 --> 01:05:13,500
What you talking about?
1097
01:05:14,416 --> 01:05:17,333
Oh, a lapse in judgment
is when someone is, you know...
1098
01:05:17,416 --> 01:05:18,666
No, I know.
1099
01:05:19,125 --> 01:05:21,583
What? You don't want
to fuck with this music shit no more?
1100
01:05:23,333 --> 01:05:24,166
Hello?
1101
01:05:24,666 --> 01:05:26,083
- D...
- What?
1102
01:05:27,166 --> 01:05:28,541
Don't be that way, okay?
1103
01:05:28,625 --> 01:05:30,166
Look, it's not a total loss.
1104
01:05:30,625 --> 01:05:34,583
I'm actually thinking of incorporating
some of the rhymes into my play.
1105
01:05:34,666 --> 01:05:35,583
What?
1106
01:05:35,666 --> 01:05:39,375
Look, I just, um...I need to be realistic about things.
1107
01:05:39,458 --> 01:05:41,750
I'm three months shy of 40, okay?
1108
01:05:42,125 --> 01:05:42,958
So?
1109
01:05:43,375 --> 01:05:45,708
So I need to stay in my lane.
1110
01:05:46,250 --> 01:05:47,375
You know?
1111
01:05:48,916 --> 01:05:49,958
Hello?
1112
01:05:50,333 --> 01:05:51,166
I heard you.
1113
01:05:51,625 --> 01:05:53,291
Look, it's just that I...
1114
01:05:54,666 --> 01:05:55,583
Hello?
1115
01:05:56,833 --> 01:05:57,708
Really?
1116
01:05:59,541 --> 01:06:02,000
Hey, are we going to spit this fire
or what?
1117
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:09,541
This... is not... soy milk, people.
1118
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:17,291
No, what's in this carton is what each
of the characters need from each other.
1119
01:06:18,041 --> 01:06:19,916
It's... it's love.
1120
01:06:21,083 --> 01:06:22,250
It's fresh air.
1121
01:06:23,333 --> 01:06:25,750
It's fresh produce. It's...
1122
01:06:26,416 --> 01:06:29,791
rent-controlled apartments.
It's block parties.
1123
01:06:29,875 --> 01:06:30,708
It's...
1124
01:06:31,833 --> 01:06:33,250
it's old Black women...
1125
01:06:34,416 --> 01:06:35,500
sitting on a stoop,
1126
01:06:36,750 --> 01:06:38,166
humming...
1127
01:06:39,666 --> 01:06:40,958
as they open...
1128
01:06:41,500 --> 01:06:42,500
their arms...
1129
01:06:43,583 --> 01:06:47,708
...to welcome the fresh blood
1130
01:06:48,125 --> 01:06:51,208
into the veins of Harlem.
1131
01:06:52,583 --> 01:06:54,750
This is not soy milk.
1132
01:06:56,125 --> 01:06:57,416
This is life.
1133
01:07:07,458 --> 01:07:08,333
Fuck.
1134
01:07:10,875 --> 01:07:12,958
It's your brother, again.
1135
01:07:13,083 --> 01:07:14,375
For real, Radha?
1136
01:07:14,833 --> 01:07:16,458
You're not going to call me back?
1137
01:07:16,958 --> 01:07:18,208
That's fucked up, yo.
1138
01:07:19,208 --> 01:07:23,000
Got these good oils, people.
These good oils, you wanna get in on this.
1139
01:07:23,083 --> 01:07:26,250
Get on this, sweetheart.
Got these good oils. My brother.
1140
01:07:26,583 --> 01:07:28,791
Hey, sister, I got these oils.
1141
01:07:29,458 --> 01:07:30,458
You should buy them.
1142
01:07:31,291 --> 01:07:33,291
It only costs a dollar. You should try it.
1143
01:07:33,875 --> 01:07:36,375
- I'm okay.
- I'm your local Muslim from the hood.
1144
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,375
Sister, let me make you smell good.
1145
01:07:40,458 --> 01:07:42,083
You look like you stressed...
1146
01:07:43,333 --> 01:07:46,333
but I'mma give it the best.
Understand that. Get these good oils.
1147
01:07:46,708 --> 01:07:49,041
Right here,
from your Muslim man right here.
1148
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,750
"Well, I have ideas, too.
1149
01:08:04,916 --> 01:08:07,916
Why can't we just makea community garden?"
1150
01:08:08,041 --> 01:08:09,291
"It's not that simple."
1151
01:08:09,833 --> 01:08:13,291
"It is.
You just have to change your perspective."
1152
01:08:13,666 --> 01:08:16,416
"T'aint nothing wrong
with my damn perspective."
1153
01:08:16,500 --> 01:08:19,416
"Excuse me? Don't take that tone with me."
1154
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:22,375
"Ladies, ladies, stop.
1155
01:08:23,208 --> 01:08:25,083
Just... stop."
1156
01:08:30,041 --> 01:08:31,916
"This some bullshit."
1157
01:08:35,375 --> 01:08:38,333
This some bullshitThis some, this some bullshit
1158
01:08:38,916 --> 01:08:41,791
This some bullshit
This some, this some bullshit
1159
01:09:20,791 --> 01:09:21,750
So...
1160
01:09:22,125 --> 01:09:24,375
you gonna let me in or what?
1161
01:09:25,083 --> 01:09:26,291
Preposterous!
1162
01:09:26,583 --> 01:09:30,541
You killed all my gods,
destroyed my spermicide castle,
1163
01:09:30,625 --> 01:09:33,333
and now you expect me to let you in?
1164
01:09:33,666 --> 01:09:36,750
Have I not proven that I'd do anything
to get to you?
1165
01:09:37,125 --> 01:09:40,083
What I look like, some stupid ho
that I go for dumb shit like that?
1166
01:09:40,166 --> 01:09:41,958
That's not even the line, Rosa!
1167
01:09:42,416 --> 01:09:43,416
So?
1168
01:09:43,500 --> 01:09:46,416
So, you just can't be
changing shit up like that.
1169
01:09:46,500 --> 01:09:49,208
Aight, first of all,
she got to be more feminist, yo.
1170
01:09:49,291 --> 01:09:50,791
She can't just be letting
some dude...
1171
01:09:50,875 --> 01:09:51,708
Hey!
1172
01:09:53,916 --> 01:09:55,875
- You coming in?
- Nah, I'm good.
1173
01:09:57,625 --> 01:10:00,208
- You sure? You can, you know.
- I'm good.
1174
01:10:04,625 --> 01:10:06,833
You're not good, you're bad as hell
is what you are.
1175
01:10:19,875 --> 01:10:21,833
Shake up the re-up boys and...
1176
01:10:21,916 --> 01:10:24,416
Yo, nigga, what the fuck, man?
Hello?
1177
01:10:24,500 --> 01:10:26,291
Yo, my fault, son.
You wanna run that back?
1178
01:10:26,375 --> 01:10:28,125
Nigga, where you at?
1179
01:10:28,208 --> 01:10:29,791
You still tripping over that old broad?
1180
01:10:29,875 --> 01:10:31,541
Nigga, fuck you. She's not old.
1181
01:10:31,625 --> 01:10:33,250
Shit, nigga, she ain't young.
1182
01:10:33,333 --> 01:10:35,583
Nigga going, "She ain't old."
1183
01:10:36,083 --> 01:10:38,541
You know, at least she gave me
some storytelling.
1184
01:10:39,458 --> 01:10:41,625
Like, what the fuck are you
even saying in there?
1185
01:10:42,083 --> 01:10:42,958
You even know?
1186
01:10:44,208 --> 01:10:45,583
Yo, half of y'all niggas,
1187
01:10:45,666 --> 01:10:49,041
y'all just be coming in here stringing
words together like you doing something.
1188
01:10:49,375 --> 01:10:52,083
Nigga, I make the beats,
but God damn, son!
1189
01:10:52,166 --> 01:10:54,250
Sometimes you need some storytelling.
1190
01:10:54,333 --> 01:10:56,083
Like, what are you even talkin' about?
1191
01:10:57,958 --> 01:10:59,625
Man... my shit.
1192
01:11:00,541 --> 01:11:02,416
I'm ready, fuck it. Play the beat.
1193
01:11:03,875 --> 01:11:04,708
Harlem...
1194
01:11:05,458 --> 01:11:08,041
the place I've called home my whole life.
1195
01:11:09,958 --> 01:11:10,833
Harlem...
1196
01:11:11,416 --> 01:11:15,875
she wrapped me in her arms and mothered me
when my own mother passed on.
1197
01:11:17,500 --> 01:11:18,333
Harlem...
1198
01:11:18,791 --> 01:11:20,416
where I became a wife,
1199
01:11:20,875 --> 01:11:22,125
a business owner,
1200
01:11:22,208 --> 01:11:25,375
where I'd imagine
owning my own home one day,
1201
01:11:25,458 --> 01:11:28,583
but where a woman
can't even afford the damn rent.
1202
01:11:28,708 --> 01:11:30,500
Harlem...
1203
01:11:30,625 --> 01:11:32,458
a place where I imagine...
1204
01:11:32,541 --> 01:11:34,916
...preparing meals in my own kitchen
1205
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,500
and hope to hear my children
call out to me...
1206
01:11:37,583 --> 01:11:39,458
- Yo, Radha!
- What the fuck?
1207
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:41,208
I'm so sorry.
1208
01:11:41,500 --> 01:11:43,875
Let me... excuse me. Sorry.
1209
01:11:43,958 --> 01:11:45,750
I'll be right back. I'm so sorry.
1210
01:11:47,125 --> 01:11:48,875
I will fuck you up in this hallway,
you hear me?
1211
01:11:48,958 --> 01:11:50,666
- Oh, shit! D!
- I will fuck you up.
1212
01:11:50,750 --> 01:11:52,291
You're not doing
anything like that.
1213
01:11:52,375 --> 01:11:54,125
Hey, hey, hey! What's going on here?
1214
01:11:54,250 --> 01:11:56,083
Radha, can you tell this bitch
you know me?
1215
01:11:56,208 --> 01:11:58,333
Sir, he's with me, please.
1216
01:12:01,458 --> 01:12:03,666
Fucking Robopop. Shit.
1217
01:12:04,750 --> 01:12:05,583
Radha.
1218
01:12:06,666 --> 01:12:08,958
Archie, this is D. D, this is Archie.
1219
01:12:09,416 --> 01:12:11,125
Can you give us a second, please?
1220
01:12:12,333 --> 01:12:13,291
Please?
1221
01:12:19,625 --> 01:12:20,500
Are you okay?
1222
01:12:21,041 --> 01:12:22,916
Yeah, when we finishing these tracks?
1223
01:12:24,041 --> 01:12:27,333
You can't be serious.
I'm in the middle of a rehearsal.
1224
01:12:27,875 --> 01:12:29,208
All right. I'll wait.
1225
01:12:32,833 --> 01:12:33,666
Okay.
1226
01:12:40,041 --> 01:12:43,541
I don't understand.
I gave you guys a list of names.
1227
01:12:43,625 --> 01:12:47,625
We tried, but all the working
Black directors are working.
1228
01:12:48,416 --> 01:12:50,416
- This fucking sucks.
- It's gonna be fine.
1229
01:12:50,791 --> 01:12:54,583
Julie will give you what you need.
She directed Raisin in the Sun, you know.
1230
01:12:54,666 --> 01:12:58,583
Radha, we need to move forward, okay?
Good night.
1231
01:13:00,375 --> 01:13:03,750
Look, I know it's not ideal, but in three
months when you're on Broadway,
1232
01:13:03,833 --> 01:13:05,458
you won't even remember this shit.
1233
01:13:08,833 --> 01:13:10,833
Oh, hello.
1234
01:13:11,541 --> 01:13:14,333
All right, listen. You just work
on those rewrites that we talked about,
1235
01:13:14,416 --> 01:13:16,875
and then I'll talk to Whitman,
and we'll smooth it...
1236
01:13:17,083 --> 01:13:17,916
Radha?
1237
01:13:18,541 --> 01:13:19,541
Radha!
1238
01:13:42,250 --> 01:13:44,375
"Julie will give you what you need."
1239
01:13:45,250 --> 01:13:47,000
"Julie will give you what you need."
1240
01:13:47,083 --> 01:13:49,583
"Don't worry, Radha.
Julie will give you what you need."
1241
01:13:51,166 --> 01:13:53,500
What the fuck does Julie know
about living in Harlem?
1242
01:13:57,125 --> 01:14:00,166
Wait, where are we even going?
1243
01:14:05,250 --> 01:14:06,875
Guess I'm being kidnapped.
1244
01:14:09,875 --> 01:14:11,000
Is that you?
1245
01:14:11,833 --> 01:14:13,083
What you think?
1246
01:14:21,625 --> 01:14:22,666
It's good.
1247
01:14:48,375 --> 01:14:49,458
Oh.
1248
01:14:50,416 --> 01:14:51,583
We're in the Bronx.
1249
01:14:52,375 --> 01:14:56,250
Exactly where I thought
I'd end my night and my life.
1250
01:14:57,041 --> 01:14:59,041
Thanks. Perfect.
1251
01:15:04,583 --> 01:15:05,750
What is going on?
1252
01:15:07,416 --> 01:15:09,625
No. No, no, no.
1253
01:15:09,708 --> 01:15:11,750
I'm not going to a damn party.
1254
01:15:11,833 --> 01:15:13,416
Look, it's not a party.
1255
01:15:14,041 --> 01:15:15,041
Just come on.
1256
01:15:15,916 --> 01:15:17,708
No, I have rewrites.
1257
01:15:17,791 --> 01:15:20,333
Rewrites of what? That bullshit play?
1258
01:15:22,250 --> 01:15:23,375
Fuck you.
1259
01:15:23,458 --> 01:15:24,750
Aight, look.
1260
01:15:25,250 --> 01:15:27,708
Before, I overheard it from the hallway...
1261
01:15:27,791 --> 01:15:29,125
and the shit is corny.
1262
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:32,916
Like you know anything about theater.
1263
01:15:33,458 --> 01:15:34,333
There you go,
1264
01:15:34,416 --> 01:15:37,500
making your fucked up assumptions.
Like, who ain't seen Hamilton?
1265
01:15:39,458 --> 01:15:41,625
- No, I'm not going to...
- Yo.
1266
01:15:41,708 --> 01:15:45,791
- Come on. Come on.
- Great. Well, welcome to the Bronx.

Ms.Fit, it's on you.
1286
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:43,125
Yeah, sis!
1287
01:16:43,208 --> 01:16:45,041
What the fuck is up?
1288
01:16:45,416 --> 01:16:47,416
Acting all fucking tough

Came here with your girls
Fucking sluts

01:16:51,625 --> 01:16:55,041
Probably suck a dick for
Some pork rinds and a couple bucks
1291
01:16:56,291 --> 01:16:57,708
Enough's enough
1292
01:16:58,083 --> 01:17:01,125
I'll make you kiss the Glock
Get your lips locked
1293

I'll fuck her up
My life was a hassle
1295

I fight when I have to
So keep it fruitful or this banana clip
1296
01:17:11,958 --> 01:17:13,625
Aim right for your apple
1297
01:17:14,333 --> 01:17:16,500
Ratchets blam Slap a fan
1298
01:17:16,583 --> 01:17:18,375
I'm good with the g's, bitch
1299
01:17:18,625 --> 01:17:22,000
Dapper Dan, I'll back the can
Clap your man's
1300
01:17:22,083 --> 01:17:25,000
Your crew get out of line
What it is, slime
1301
01:17:25,250 --> 01:17:27,958
Bow! I don't think your pack'll stand
1302
01:17:33,041 --> 01:17:35,875
I handle business how I see fit
1303
01:17:35,958 --> 01:17:38,416
Celebrity status, I've got the once
1304
01:17:38,500 --> 01:17:41,083
Now, this the last time
Y'all gonna see Fit
1305
01:17:41,166 --> 01:17:44,000
Who we talking 'bout?
You going to play who?
1306
01:17:44,083 --> 01:17:46,708
Bitch, the autographic
For trying to game
1307
01:17:46,791 --> 01:17:49,291
I pull out the sweeper
And it's cleaning the room
1308
01:17:49,375 --> 01:17:51,750
Then it's metal to her face
MF Doom
1309
01:17:51,833 --> 01:17:55,416
I've been Queen of the Ring
So my body of work is solidified
1310
01:17:55,500 --> 01:17:56,666
It's a big difference
1311
01:17:56,750 --> 01:17:58,708
You wasn't with us shooting in the gym
1312
01:17:58,791 --> 01:18:01,833
So to get fit is cheap
Planet Fitness
1313
01:18:01,916 --> 01:18:03,916
Oh!
1314
01:18:08,583 --> 01:18:09,583
Give it up
1315
01:18:12,541 --> 01:18:13,958
For Norma Bayts
1316
01:18:14,375 --> 01:18:17,541
The one who's battle rap career
Is all over the place
1317
01:18:17,958 --> 01:18:20,500
Your butt might be real
But your soul is fake
1318
01:18:20,583 --> 01:18:23,291
You are a salami and bacon with it
1319
01:18:23,375 --> 01:18:25,666
So I can't eat nothing off of
Norma's plate
1320
01:18:27,291 --> 01:18:28,458
Is this y'all queen?
1321
01:18:28,541 --> 01:18:30,375
Hell no!
1322
01:18:30,458 --> 01:18:33,083
Y'all should watch how to throw
An enormous shake
1323
01:18:33,166 --> 01:18:36,125
Come in here looking like
A five-dollar movie Tuesday's
1324
01:18:36,208 --> 01:18:37,625
That's a cheap date
1325
01:18:37,708 --> 01:18:40,541
I'm trying to make it off my skills
And my passion
1326
01:18:40,625 --> 01:18:43,458
You trying to make it
Solely by thirst-trapping
1327
01:18:43,541 --> 01:18:46,083
Battle rap porn? Ma
1328
01:18:46,541 --> 01:18:48,166
You're going to need a hijab
1329
01:18:48,791 --> 01:18:51,541
Judging by your face
You gonna need a kneecap
1330
01:18:51,625 --> 01:18:55,291
And I'mma call an imam
To come and get this she-man
1331
01:18:55,375 --> 01:18:58,500
'Cause she GMO like watermelons
Without the seeds, man
1332
01:19:02,291 --> 01:19:04,916
Okay? Okay?
1333
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,375
Oh fucking kay!
1334
01:19:07,875 --> 01:19:09,708
I don't care if you Muslim
1335
01:19:09,791 --> 01:19:12,208
That dirty scarf mean your hair not done
1336
01:19:12,291 --> 01:19:13,208
Alhamdulillah
1337
01:19:13,625 --> 01:19:16,708
I plan to blow shit in this building
When I'm done
1338
01:19:16,791 --> 01:19:18,000
I wax bitches
1339
01:19:18,083 --> 01:19:20,416
She need a hearing aid
Read these lips, bitch, you're done
1340
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:22,625
I'll carve the beats in her forehead
1341
01:19:22,708 --> 01:19:24,875
She'll get the reminder where I'm from
1342
01:19:24,958 --> 01:19:26,250
You seem smarter than you look
1343
01:19:26,333 --> 01:19:29,083
Nah, she that dumb
You couldn't fuck with me in a threesome
1344
01:19:29,166 --> 01:19:30,833
Body bag would be this outcome
1345
01:19:30,916 --> 01:19:33,208
Bruce Leroy, you get Sho'nuff
1346
01:19:33,291 --> 01:19:35,666
How we kick it
Head crack if I call a bluff
1347
01:19:35,750 --> 01:19:38,666
But a crackhead and her brains
Spilling out is not enough
1348
01:19:39,208 --> 01:19:42,833
Y'all gonna have to dig up out the dirt
To see the diamond in the rough
1349
01:19:42,916 --> 01:19:44,916
Babs hit my line
1350
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,583
With the negotiations
Like this a paid hit job
1351
01:19:47,666 --> 01:19:50,041
Cool because I pull it off
The hip quick with no prob
1352
01:19:50,125 --> 01:19:53,125
And it'll be a permanent head wrap
For a hijab
1353
01:20:09,416 --> 01:20:13,416
Oh, my God. My God, my God, my God.
1354
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,666
That was amazing.
1355
01:20:16,250 --> 01:20:17,291
Glad I dragged you, huh?
1356
01:20:17,375 --> 01:20:20,458
Yes! Yes, I mean, I...
1357
01:20:21,375 --> 01:20:22,750
I heard about them,
1358
01:20:23,083 --> 01:20:26,583
and I might have seen a Queen of the Ring
clip online or some shit,
1359
01:20:26,666 --> 01:20:29,333
but to be in there...
1360
01:20:30,375 --> 01:20:32,375
Thank you. Thanks.
1361
01:20:34,250 --> 01:20:35,416
Ah, no worries.
1362
01:20:36,416 --> 01:20:38,916
I got you. Anything you need.
1363
01:21:01,291 --> 01:21:02,125
What?
1364
01:21:03,375 --> 01:21:04,208
Nothing.
1365
01:21:16,875 --> 01:21:17,708
What?
1366
01:21:18,916 --> 01:21:19,750
Nothing.
1367
01:21:29,875 --> 01:21:30,875
Oh, yes.
1368
01:21:32,500 --> 01:21:34,500
Oh, brother. Oh, brother.
1369
01:21:35,166 --> 01:21:36,208
Oh, yeah.
1370
01:21:36,500 --> 01:21:37,750
Oh, oh.
1371
01:21:38,375 --> 01:21:40,041
Oh, shit. Mmm.
1372
01:21:40,250 --> 01:21:42,750
That's...
Yeah, that's a young tongue there.
1373
01:21:43,125 --> 01:21:46,125
Oh, God.
Are you... beat boxing down there?
1374
01:21:46,208 --> 01:21:48,208
Oh, my God! Oh shit!
1375
01:21:48,291 --> 01:21:52,833
D... E, F, G, H, I, J, K.
1376
01:21:53,375 --> 01:21:56,458
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
1377
01:21:57,208 --> 01:21:58,416
Oh, shit.
1378
01:22:02,166 --> 01:22:03,166
What you doing?
1379
01:22:04,625 --> 01:22:08,833
Me?
I'm... I'm writing on my bullshit play.
1380
01:22:11,541 --> 01:22:13,125
Yo, let me ask you a question.
1381
01:22:13,375 --> 01:22:14,708
You just asked me one.
1382
01:22:15,333 --> 01:22:16,750
I gotta ask you another one.
1383
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:17,916
What?
1384
01:22:18,583 --> 01:22:20,041
Yo, you Muslim or something?
1385
01:22:20,750 --> 01:22:21,583
What?
1386
01:22:22,416 --> 01:22:24,291
Why you always got that thing
on your head?
1387
01:22:29,041 --> 01:22:30,416
I just... I wear my...
1388
01:22:31,291 --> 01:22:32,791
What does D stand for?
1389
01:22:35,625 --> 01:22:37,833
- You got it.
- Okay. All right.
1390
01:22:41,750 --> 01:22:43,625
Oh, now, that's dope.
1391
01:22:44,583 --> 01:22:46,875
- Oh, the leg tat?
- Yeah.
1392
01:22:47,291 --> 01:22:48,333
Thanks.
1393
01:22:49,166 --> 01:22:50,291
My mother drew that.
1394
01:22:51,750 --> 01:22:54,791
It's part of a series of greeting cards
she did in the '70s
1395
01:22:54,875 --> 01:22:57,291
that never quite took off, but, yeah.
1396
01:22:58,083 --> 01:22:59,750
That must have been dope, though.
1397
01:22:59,833 --> 01:23:00,833
What?
1398
01:23:00,916 --> 01:23:02,875
Having an artist for your moms.
1399
01:23:03,291 --> 01:23:04,291
That's crazy.
1400
01:23:05,708 --> 01:23:07,708
She was great, but...
1401
01:23:09,208 --> 01:23:11,375
there were other parts, you know.
1402
01:23:11,458 --> 01:23:16,125
Government cheese, and, uh... squatting.
1403
01:23:17,083 --> 01:23:19,500
- Artist life.
- Nah, word?
1404
01:23:19,583 --> 01:23:23,541
Yeah, God, my mother struggled.
My dad did, too. Both of them.
1405
01:23:23,875 --> 01:23:25,541
As artists, you know?
1406
01:23:26,166 --> 01:23:27,916
My father was a jazz drummer.
1407
01:23:28,708 --> 01:23:31,875
But to support the family,
he would do plumbing work.
1408
01:23:32,666 --> 01:23:37,750
And he did it so much that it would leave
like permanent oil stains on his hand.
1409
01:23:38,583 --> 01:23:41,083
- That's crazy.
- Yeah, and my mother...
1410
01:23:41,958 --> 01:23:44,000
when she wasn't painting,
she was teaching.
1411
01:23:45,791 --> 01:23:47,583
I said I would never.
1412
01:23:49,666 --> 01:23:51,875
Said you would never what?
Like, teach kids?
1413
01:23:53,791 --> 01:23:54,833
Struggle.
1414
01:23:56,250 --> 01:23:57,541
But here I am.
1415
01:24:00,458 --> 01:24:04,250
Yeah, my mom didn't think me making music
made sense, either.
1416
01:24:04,333 --> 01:24:05,375
No?
1417
01:24:05,458 --> 01:24:07,916
Nah, but I'm like...
1418
01:24:08,708 --> 01:24:11,500
"You're the one that put
Coltrane and Quincy, like, in me."
1419
01:24:11,583 --> 01:24:13,500
Know what I'm saying?
"What did you expect?"
1420
01:24:13,583 --> 01:24:14,416
Right.
1421
01:24:15,500 --> 01:24:16,750
We good now, though.
1422
01:24:17,541 --> 01:24:18,375
Yeah?
1423
01:24:19,458 --> 01:24:21,916
I know she up there jamming
to my shit right now,
1424
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:23,625
you know what I mean?
1425
01:24:24,458 --> 01:24:25,416
Yours too, though.
1426
01:24:26,750 --> 01:24:27,958
What? Jamming?
1427
01:24:28,625 --> 01:24:30,500
Nah, your moms.
1428
01:24:31,583 --> 01:24:32,708
She proud of you.
1429
01:24:35,750 --> 01:24:38,791
You ain't never try to... talk to her?
1430
01:24:40,958 --> 01:24:41,791
No.
1431
01:24:43,458 --> 01:24:44,541
Why not? Like...
1432
01:24:46,625 --> 01:24:48,583
I don't know.
I don't know what I would say.
1433
01:25:00,208 --> 01:25:01,083
What?
1434
01:25:02,708 --> 01:25:03,791
What, what?
1435
01:25:05,250 --> 01:25:06,916
Mama, Mama may I
1436
01:25:08,083 --> 01:25:09,708
Mama, Mama may I
1437
01:25:10,958 --> 01:25:12,666
Mama, Mama may I
1438
01:25:13,791 --> 01:25:15,541
Mama, Mama may I
1439
01:25:16,791 --> 01:25:20,333
Mama may I tell you
How much I love you
1440
01:25:21,416 --> 01:25:24,666
And I would give all of these
Beats equipment up
1441
01:25:24,750 --> 01:25:26,791
Just for one more chance to hug you
1442
01:25:26,875 --> 01:25:27,958
Mmm!
1443
01:25:28,583 --> 01:25:29,916
Mama, may I
1444
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,416
Mama, may I tell you
how much I miss you
1445
01:25:34,166 --> 01:25:37,916
They preach all this masculinity shit
But if you was here I'd kiss you
1446
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:38,833
Wow.
1447
01:25:39,625 --> 01:25:42,625
Tell you, despite it all
I still love you
1448
01:25:44,208 --> 01:25:46,583
Showed me gratitude by the handful
1449
01:25:48,333 --> 01:25:51,291
I know you not here
I can still say that I'm thankful
1450
01:25:52,375 --> 01:25:53,458
Mama, may I
1451
01:25:54,541 --> 01:25:56,541
Mama, Mama, may I
1452
01:25:58,500 --> 01:26:00,000
Mama, may I
1453
01:26:00,083 --> 01:26:03,041
Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, may I
1454
01:26:04,791 --> 01:26:08,500
Mama, may I say
I wonder sometimes like
1455
01:26:09,041 --> 01:26:11,500
Are you the person
feeding these rhymes
1456
01:26:11,583 --> 01:26:14,500
And if I'm not creating art
Am I committing a crime
1457
01:26:14,583 --> 01:26:15,625
Mama, may I
1458
01:26:16,625 --> 01:26:19,875
'Cause sometimes
I just be missing you like
1459
01:26:20,541 --> 01:26:24,791
Wishing you were here
Instead of out there somewhere
1460
01:26:25,291 --> 01:26:26,458
Mama, may I
1461
01:26:26,833 --> 01:26:28,708
Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, may I
1462
01:26:28,791 --> 01:26:30,458
May I, may I
1463
01:26:32,708 --> 01:26:33,833
Mama, may I
1464
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,875
Mama, Mama, may I
1465
01:26:38,166 --> 01:26:39,041
Mama...
1466
01:26:41,333 --> 01:26:42,375
Are you good?
1467
01:26:42,958 --> 01:26:44,208
Mm.
1468
01:26:45,208 --> 01:26:47,041
- Yeah, I'm good.
- Are you sure?
1469
01:26:47,125 --> 01:26:48,500
- You sure?
- Yeah. I'm good.
1470
01:26:49,041 --> 01:26:49,916
I'm good.
1471
01:26:50,708 --> 01:26:51,625
I'm good.
1472
01:26:57,875 --> 01:27:00,333
Yo, come through later.
1473
01:27:00,875 --> 01:27:03,833
Oh, I have rehearsals later, so...
1474
01:27:04,375 --> 01:27:05,875
So, come through after that.
1475
01:27:09,416 --> 01:27:12,583
I have previews
in a couple of weeks, so...
1476
01:27:12,750 --> 01:27:14,416
um...
1477
01:27:14,875 --> 01:27:18,333
Yeah. No, that's cool.
Fuck it. Do what you want.
1478
01:27:19,458 --> 01:27:20,791
What's the problem?
1479
01:27:23,250 --> 01:27:24,750
Let me ask you a question.
1480
01:27:25,125 --> 01:27:27,125
You were just talking shit before, right?
1481
01:27:27,416 --> 01:27:28,250
I'm sorry?
1482
01:27:28,791 --> 01:27:30,333
Nah, like, for the mixtape.
1483
01:27:30,541 --> 01:27:32,375
You never wanted to do this shit.
1484
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:35,708
Nah, it's just another trip
to the Black terrain for you.
1485
01:27:35,791 --> 01:27:37,708
I don't know what you're talking about.
1486
01:27:38,416 --> 01:27:40,416
That's crazy.
I came to Harlem for this shit?
1487
01:27:42,250 --> 01:27:44,541
D! D, wait!
1488
01:27:47,750 --> 01:27:50,750
My baby's finally got her back blown out.
1489
01:27:52,291 --> 01:27:54,833
Come here. Come here.
Let me talk to you.
1490
01:28:00,250 --> 01:28:01,333
I am me.
1491
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:03,166
I am she.
1492
01:28:03,583 --> 01:28:05,500
I am Black divorcee.
1493
01:28:05,583 --> 01:28:07,125
Cut. I don't believe you.
1494
01:28:08,416 --> 01:28:10,791
Where's the rotting carcass
of your broken heart?
1495
01:28:10,875 --> 01:28:12,208
I need to smell it.
1496
01:28:13,250 --> 01:28:14,250
I need to smell it.
1497
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:15,833
Yeah.
1498
01:28:27,041 --> 01:28:29,833
There should be a fire
in the crack of your ass.
1499
01:28:30,208 --> 01:28:31,291
Be the phoenix.
1500
01:28:32,708 --> 01:28:36,250
I am bursting out from behind the head!
1501
01:28:36,333 --> 01:28:38,208
Yes, damn it! Yes, damn it!
1502
01:28:38,291 --> 01:28:40,583
- You had your chance, Darlene!
- Yeah, you had it!
1503
01:28:40,666 --> 01:28:43,750
- You had it, Darlene. Yes!
- Now stay the fuck away!
1504
01:28:43,833 --> 01:28:45,750
Give it to me. Give it to me.
1505
01:28:46,125 --> 01:28:48,708
- Just let me say what I got to say.
- Yes.
1506
01:28:48,791 --> 01:28:49,791
- Okay?
- Uh-huh!
1507
01:28:50,500 --> 01:28:51,833
- I am me.
- Me.
1508
01:28:52,541 --> 01:28:53,916
- I am free.
- Free.
1509
01:28:54,458 --> 01:28:58,083
- I am Black di-vor-cee!
- Black di-vor-cee!
1510
01:28:58,166 --> 01:29:00,041
Yes! Yes!
1511
01:29:00,375 --> 01:29:01,291
Yes!
1512
01:29:08,166 --> 01:29:11,000
{\an8}I'm Frank DiLella. Remember this face?
1513
01:29:11,083 --> 01:29:15,125
{\an8}She was one of Spotlight Magazine's
30 Under 30 playwrights to watch.
1514
01:29:15,833 --> 01:29:17,500
We watched, but where'd she go?
1515
01:29:18,208 --> 01:29:20,250
Well, after years of obscurity,
she's returned
1516
01:29:20,333 --> 01:29:24,166
to the theater in J. Whitman's
searing new production of Harlem Avenue,
1517
01:29:24,250 --> 01:29:26,166
directed by Julie Lipshitz.
1518
01:29:26,625 --> 01:29:29,208
It's Harlem Ave, but okay.
1519
01:29:29,291 --> 01:29:31,916
Harlem Ave premieres
in just a couple days.
1520
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,291
Welcome, New York playwright,
Radha Blank.
1521
01:29:34,375 --> 01:29:37,083
Frank, it's so awesome to be
sitting with you. Thanks for having me.
1522
01:29:37,833 --> 01:29:38,875
Radha, where have you been?
1523
01:29:39,583 --> 01:29:41,750
I've been, uh, writing plays
1524
01:29:41,833 --> 01:29:45,083
and teaching theater to teens in Harlem.
1525
01:29:45,166 --> 01:29:46,000
Hey, guys.
1526
01:29:46,333 --> 01:29:48,041
- What's up?
- Hi!
1527
01:29:48,208 --> 01:29:49,833
Mmm, my boo look nice.
1528
01:29:49,916 --> 01:29:51,458
Yo, she's official, son.
1529
01:29:51,541 --> 01:29:53,208
That's my teacher, yo.
1530
01:29:53,291 --> 01:29:55,875
Speaking of Harlem,
what is Harlem Ave about?
1531
01:29:56,875 --> 01:29:58,416
Harlem Ave is about...
1532
01:30:01,041 --> 01:30:04,666
a young Black couple,
and their young white neighbor,
1533
01:30:04,750 --> 01:30:07,416
and how the three of them see
gentrification from different angles.
1534
01:30:07,708 --> 01:30:09,333
What inspired you to write this?
1535
01:30:10,041 --> 01:30:12,875
I just wanted to talk about
what's going on in Harlem.
1536
01:30:13,416 --> 01:30:15,500
Is it true you and J. Whitman
1537
01:30:15,583 --> 01:30:18,500
are collaborating on his new
Ida B. Wells musical?
1538
01:30:19,375 --> 01:30:21,333
Who told you that?
1539
01:30:21,833 --> 01:30:24,000
With opening night just days away,
1540
01:30:24,083 --> 01:30:26,208
and a return to the theater
in almost a decade...
1541
01:30:26,291 --> 01:30:27,125
Yes.
1542
01:30:27,208 --> 01:30:29,708
...what scares you the most
about this moment?
1543
01:30:38,250 --> 01:30:39,750
- Yes!
- No.
1544
01:30:39,833 --> 01:30:42,416
You are giving me Miss Sofia
in the motherland realness.
1545
01:30:42,500 --> 01:30:44,791
No, I look like an angry mushroom.
1546
01:30:45,250 --> 01:30:46,625
No. No.
1547
01:30:46,708 --> 01:30:48,875
Look, don't worry about it.
We'll find something.
1548
01:30:49,625 --> 01:30:50,625
My God.
1549
01:30:51,166 --> 01:30:54,208
Opening night is like, a few nights away,
1550
01:30:54,291 --> 01:30:56,625
and I feel like shit, Archie.
1551
01:30:56,708 --> 01:30:59,166
It's nerves. I've seen it a million times.
1552
01:30:59,708 --> 01:31:01,333
No, it's not nerves.
1553
01:31:01,791 --> 01:31:03,208
You still drinking that diet drink?
1554
01:31:05,250 --> 01:31:06,291
It's the play.
1555
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:09,375
It's not mine anymore.
1556
01:31:11,416 --> 01:31:12,625
The next one will be.
1557
01:31:15,375 --> 01:31:17,375
What kind of fucking response is that?
1558
01:31:19,666 --> 01:31:22,750
Oh, no, hon. Do not come for me.
1559
01:31:24,083 --> 01:31:25,166
Why not?
1560
01:31:26,041 --> 01:31:28,125
Why not, Archie? You played your part.
1561
01:31:28,208 --> 01:31:29,625
- What?
- Yeah.
1562
01:31:29,708 --> 01:31:33,166
Look, you got yourself here, okay?
No one forced you to do anything.
1563
01:31:33,250 --> 01:31:35,500
You always do what you want.
You fucked that 25-year-old.
1564
01:31:35,583 --> 01:31:38,000
- 26!
- Yeah, you did that rapping shit.
1565
01:31:38,083 --> 01:31:40,333
That rapping shit made me feel
good about myself.
1566
01:31:40,416 --> 01:31:42,250
Yeah, well,
we all need something.
1567
01:31:42,333 --> 01:31:44,333
You acted like Whitman was our only shot.
1568
01:31:44,416 --> 01:31:46,083
Like I wasn't going to have
another chance.
1569
01:31:46,166 --> 01:31:49,083
Don't you dare accuse me
of not believing in you, okay?
1570
01:31:49,166 --> 01:31:50,708
Do you have any idea what I...
1571
01:31:53,750 --> 01:31:54,666
What?
1572
01:31:55,541 --> 01:31:57,708
Jiggled his balls a little, yes.
1573
01:31:58,375 --> 01:31:59,750
Anything for a friend.
1574
01:32:00,583 --> 01:32:01,666
Oh!
1575
01:32:02,041 --> 01:32:05,375
Well, let's give it up
for patron saint Archie.
1576
01:32:05,458 --> 01:32:09,166
Jiggling old wrinkly balls
on behalf of the poor.
1577
01:32:09,250 --> 01:32:11,541
Please, Archie,
you ain't do that shit for me.
1578
01:32:11,625 --> 01:32:13,375
- What?
- You did it for yourself.
1579
01:32:13,458 --> 01:32:16,916
Now, tell me why the fuck
am I still your client?
1580
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:18,166
Oh, you want to go there.
1581
01:32:18,250 --> 01:32:19,541
We don't have to.
1582
01:32:19,625 --> 01:32:22,916
We all know you keep me around
because it makes you feel better.
1583
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:23,875
About?
1584
01:32:24,500 --> 01:32:26,875
About paying $5,000 a month for rent.
1585
01:32:27,333 --> 01:32:31,583
About taking vacations to Greece
in your thongs and shit.
1586
01:32:31,666 --> 01:32:33,958
- Acting like you're not really even...
- What?
1587
01:32:36,208 --> 01:32:37,083
Korean?
1588
01:32:37,791 --> 01:32:38,750
I didn't say that.
1589
01:32:41,208 --> 01:32:44,000
Was my dad thrilled
that my prom date was Black?
1590
01:32:44,083 --> 01:32:46,583
No, but thank God you were a girl.
1591
01:32:47,375 --> 01:32:50,291
You played along
and saved my sissy ass from getting beat,
1592
01:32:50,750 --> 01:32:52,750
and I will always love you for that,
1593
01:32:53,250 --> 01:32:54,875
but we are grown,
1594
01:32:54,958 --> 01:32:57,958
and I am out and proud,
1595
01:32:58,041 --> 01:32:59,750
and very Korean.
1596
01:33:00,375 --> 01:33:03,333
And I don't owe you anything
except friendship and honesty.
1597
01:33:03,416 --> 01:33:05,625
Yes, you are fucking talented.
1598
01:33:05,708 --> 01:33:10,166
Yes, your mom is dead,
but you are not above being a sellout.
1599
01:33:16,125 --> 01:33:17,583
I'm not a sellout, Archie.
1600
01:33:18,125 --> 01:33:19,166
Take it back.
1601
01:33:21,500 --> 01:33:23,333
I said take it back.
1602
01:33:28,458 --> 01:33:29,333
You know what?
1603
01:33:30,916 --> 01:33:31,750
Fuck you.
1604
01:33:34,333 --> 01:33:37,166
Fuck these ugly-ass dresses.
1605
01:33:37,875 --> 01:33:40,250
And fuck opening night.
I'm not even going.
1606
01:33:41,541 --> 01:33:44,083
That dress did not deserve that!
1607
01:33:47,208 --> 01:33:49,083
Fuck! Fuck!
1608
01:36:40,333 --> 01:36:43,333
One bad apple just spoiled the bunch
1609
01:36:43,416 --> 01:36:46,583
Looking at your face
I just spoiled my lunch
1610
01:36:46,666 --> 01:36:49,500
You can't mess me or even test me
1611
01:36:49,583 --> 01:36:52,875
Because if you do, your face I'll punch
1612
01:36:53,041 --> 01:36:54,375
Mmm, not quite.
1613
01:36:56,416 --> 01:36:57,750
About fucking time.
1614
01:36:58,458 --> 01:36:59,333
I'm here.
1615
01:37:08,458 --> 01:37:10,416
When did she do this one?
1616
01:37:10,583 --> 01:37:11,541
I don't know.
1617
01:37:12,583 --> 01:37:14,625
I think right after you were born.
1618
01:37:15,458 --> 01:37:16,500
Hmm.
1619
01:37:17,458 --> 01:37:22,208
Her Ethiopian Coptic art phase
of the '70s.
1620
01:37:25,750 --> 01:37:27,333
So, what do we do with it now?
1621
01:37:28,333 --> 01:37:32,000
I got most of her work at my place,
1622
01:37:32,083 --> 01:37:33,750
and I don't have any more room.
1623
01:37:34,083 --> 01:37:36,750
Uh, neither do I.
I live in a box, remember?
1624
01:37:38,750 --> 01:37:39,666
Fine.
1625
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:42,208
I guess we'll put it in storage.
1626
01:37:45,416 --> 01:37:46,416
Wow.
1627
01:37:48,916 --> 01:37:52,000
You come here with a dream
and your work ends up in storage.
1628
01:37:53,500 --> 01:37:55,083
Is that what you think of Ma?
1629
01:37:55,666 --> 01:37:57,250
No, I'm just saying.
1630
01:37:59,250 --> 01:38:00,958
Ma did what she wanted to.
1631
01:38:01,416 --> 01:38:05,083
She was a teacher. She was a curator.
1632
01:38:05,750 --> 01:38:07,708
She chanted. She traveled.
1633
01:38:08,083 --> 01:38:10,208
She did some art. She did some theater.
1634
01:38:10,708 --> 01:38:11,958
She lived a life.
1635
01:38:14,458 --> 01:38:16,708
She was a lot more
than just these paintings.
1636
01:38:17,541 --> 01:38:20,916
No, but she came to New York
to become a famous artist.
1637
01:38:21,666 --> 01:38:23,791
And what does she have
to even show for it?
1638
01:38:24,791 --> 01:38:26,583
Us, you dummy.
1639
01:38:27,250 --> 01:38:29,750
She said that we were
her greatest creation.
1640
01:38:33,500 --> 01:38:34,541
Mmm.
1641
01:38:42,750 --> 01:38:43,791
I really miss her.
1642
01:38:44,333 --> 01:38:45,291
Me too, sis.
1643
01:39:02,958 --> 01:39:05,000
- 'Sup, Miss B?
- Hey.
1644
01:39:13,375 --> 01:39:14,291
Elaine.
1645
01:39:19,041 --> 01:39:20,208
You got a second?
1646
01:39:29,500 --> 01:39:30,500
How's it going?
1647
01:39:35,208 --> 01:39:37,666
I think you should come back to class.
1648
01:39:38,333 --> 01:39:39,208
I'm good.
1649
01:39:40,666 --> 01:39:41,666
I know.
1650
01:39:41,750 --> 01:39:44,041
That's why I think you should
come back to class.
1651
01:39:45,041 --> 01:39:46,500
You're a natural, Elaine.
1652
01:39:50,250 --> 01:39:51,916
Look, I know we have some beef,
1653
01:39:52,458 --> 01:39:54,500
but I am completely over it,
1654
01:39:55,500 --> 01:39:58,000
especially since I know it had
nothing to do with me.
1655
01:39:59,375 --> 01:40:00,291
What you mean?
1656
01:40:01,666 --> 01:40:06,541
I'm talking about expecting
to like one kind of person
1657
01:40:06,625 --> 01:40:10,083
and then this other
kind of person comes along and...
1658
01:40:11,125 --> 01:40:12,208
they affect you.
1659
01:40:14,500 --> 01:40:15,333
Rosa.
1660
01:40:16,125 --> 01:40:17,000
What about her?
1661
01:40:20,416 --> 01:40:22,083
I think you should stay for class.
1662
01:40:26,500 --> 01:40:28,083
Well, look here!
1663
01:40:28,166 --> 01:40:30,625
- Oh, boy.
- Oh, shit. You back?
1664
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:32,833
Elaine?
1665
01:40:36,083 --> 01:40:39,916
Well, I guess if the dean said
you have to come back to class,
1666
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:42,083
you can understudy Rosa.
1667
01:40:42,208 --> 01:40:45,916
Wow. Black Jesus is really shining on you.
1668
01:40:46,583 --> 01:40:47,958
- Understudy?
- Mm-hmm.
1669
01:40:48,083 --> 01:40:49,625
Nah. Mm-mm.
1670
01:40:49,791 --> 01:40:53,000
Oh, shit. Wild Woman Fights, Part Deux.
1671
01:40:53,083 --> 01:40:54,125
Look, Rosa, I don't even...
1672
01:40:54,208 --> 01:40:56,583
Nah, fuck that, Miss B.
She ain't understudying me.
1673
01:40:56,666 --> 01:40:57,958
Calm down, Rosa, okay?
1674
01:40:58,875 --> 01:41:00,875
- She can have the damn part.
- What?
1675
01:41:01,458 --> 01:41:03,166
I'm sick of playing this broad, yo!
1676
01:41:03,250 --> 01:41:05,583
I mean, no offense,
but these breeding chicks?
1677
01:41:05,666 --> 01:41:07,833
And then to have this Dumbo
all up on me and shit?
1678
01:41:07,916 --> 01:41:10,458
I mean, I got range and shit,
but I ain't that good.
1679
01:41:10,541 --> 01:41:12,041
Please, Elaine, take this shit.
1680
01:41:14,250 --> 01:41:15,166
You heard her.
1681
01:41:16,208 --> 01:41:20,583
So, does that mean I can simulate
running up in Elaine now?
1682
01:41:21,041 --> 01:41:22,125
Word, yo.
1683
01:41:23,500 --> 01:41:25,125
- Move!
- Damn.
1684
01:41:29,583 --> 01:41:30,708
Wow.
1685
01:41:32,416 --> 01:41:33,541
About fucking time!
1686
01:41:35,291 --> 01:41:39,625
Hail, hail our new Queen of Vaginal Eggs.
1687
01:41:40,291 --> 01:41:43,000
Hail, hail.
1688
01:41:58,208 --> 01:42:00,791
Hey, let's not fight.It gives us wrinkles.
1689
01:42:02,333 --> 01:42:05,708
Look, I know you wanted to skip out,
but it's still your big night.
1690
01:42:06,500 --> 01:42:07,541
Hope to see you.
1691
01:42:08,708 --> 01:42:09,583
Bye.
1692
01:42:16,666 --> 01:42:17,500
Yo.
1693
01:42:19,708 --> 01:42:23,916
Hey, D, it's me, Radha.
1694
01:42:25,625 --> 01:42:26,666
Um...
1695
01:42:29,291 --> 01:42:30,416
I was just calling.
1696
01:42:33,208 --> 01:42:35,041
Um...
1697
01:42:35,750 --> 01:42:38,833
Yeah, I don't know
why I always wear this thing on my head.
1698
01:42:40,375 --> 01:42:44,333
Maybe for a... sense of comfort?
1699
01:42:48,375 --> 01:42:50,708
Anyway, I was just calling.
1700
01:42:52,458 --> 01:42:53,333
Okay.
1701
01:42:54,333 --> 01:42:56,333
See you later... or not.
1702
01:43:19,041 --> 01:43:20,125
Mmm!
1703
01:43:21,750 --> 01:43:22,583
Wait.
1704
01:43:23,916 --> 01:43:25,291
Why you all dressed up?
1705
01:43:26,916 --> 01:43:28,166
You going to a funeral?
1706
01:43:29,958 --> 01:43:31,250
What's up with this sandwich?
1707
01:43:33,250 --> 01:43:34,333
You poisoning me?
1708
01:43:35,041 --> 01:43:37,291
Shit! I'm dead.
1709
01:43:38,958 --> 01:43:40,708
I better finish it, though, huh?
1710
01:43:47,125 --> 01:43:48,416
Oswaldo Rivera.
1711
01:43:49,125 --> 01:43:50,791
Sorry, you're not on the list.
1712
01:43:50,875 --> 01:43:52,250
No, no, we on that list.
1713
01:43:52,333 --> 01:43:53,875
We know her. That's our teacher.
1714
01:43:54,500 --> 01:43:57,000
You just think we came from
Harlem and got all dressed up and shit
1715
01:43:57,083 --> 01:43:59,375
just to harass your pasty white ass,
that's what you saying?
1716
01:43:59,458 --> 01:44:01,916
What's the problem, lady?
You need to see my tits or something?
1717
01:44:02,458 --> 01:44:03,541
Okay, true.
1718
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:05,583
It's my opening night, right?
1719
01:44:07,083 --> 01:44:08,250
But Archie was right.
1720
01:44:09,625 --> 01:44:10,625
I sold out.
1721
01:44:11,750 --> 01:44:12,583
And now what?
1722
01:44:12,666 --> 01:44:15,291
I have to go down
and sit through that shit?
1723
01:44:20,500 --> 01:44:23,291
So, this is the part
where I tell you I was an artist
1724
01:44:23,375 --> 01:44:25,125
who'd fallen from grace, right?
1725
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:29,500
Then I impart some wisdom to you
that changes your outlook
1726
01:44:30,375 --> 01:44:32,583
because you gave me a fucking sandwich?
1727
01:44:33,958 --> 01:44:37,041
Like I'm some fucking magical Negro
1728
01:44:37,125 --> 01:44:39,250
just sitting here with shit in my pants
1729
01:44:39,333 --> 01:44:41,875
so I can help you make up your mind?
1730
01:44:42,375 --> 01:44:45,291
Nope, I ain't that nigger.
1731
01:44:46,250 --> 01:44:48,958
And maybe next time, if it don't kill you,
1732
01:44:49,375 --> 01:44:54,083
could you put some mayonnaise
on both sides of this dry-ass bread?
1733
01:44:55,458 --> 01:44:57,958
Trying to cut my throat the slow way.
1734
01:45:01,666 --> 01:45:02,791
You're welcome.
1735
01:45:03,375 --> 01:45:05,000
- Exciting, huh?
- Yes.
1736
01:45:07,166 --> 01:45:09,416
And I've got insurance tonight,
1737
01:45:09,500 --> 01:45:11,166
so no bathroom breaks for me.
1738
01:45:11,250 --> 01:45:14,375
You missed the whole second act
of that last play we went to,
1739
01:45:14,458 --> 01:45:17,250
- and the mockingbird didn't die.
- Oh, good.
1740
01:45:22,416 --> 01:45:23,458
Radha?
1741
01:45:29,750 --> 01:45:30,750
Radha?
1742
01:45:36,458 --> 01:45:39,250
- Hey. Hey.
- Hey.
1743
01:45:39,916 --> 01:45:42,625
It's a really friendly house
out there, you guys.
1744
01:45:42,708 --> 01:45:44,541
- Oh, good.
- Yeah, break a leg.
1745
01:45:44,625 --> 01:45:45,541
Thank you!
1746
01:45:48,500 --> 01:45:51,666
Enjoy yourselves tonight. Thank you.
1747
01:45:51,750 --> 01:45:55,958
- Archie!
- Hey, I love the look.
1748
01:45:56,041 --> 01:45:58,000
Well, thank you. You, too.
1749
01:45:58,541 --> 01:46:00,875
- It's five minutes to curtain.
- She's on her way.
1750
01:46:01,625 --> 01:46:02,500
I hope so.
1751
01:46:03,041 --> 01:46:06,083
Actually, I want her to meet the investors
for the Shirley Chisholm musical.
1752
01:46:07,291 --> 01:46:09,291
Maybe you could come on
as a producer.
1753
01:46:11,375 --> 01:46:14,250
If by "producer,"
you mean "jiggle your balls again,"
1754
01:46:14,333 --> 01:46:15,708
I think I'll pass.
1755
01:46:19,666 --> 01:46:21,333
Patty, Billy, how are you?
1756
01:46:21,416 --> 01:46:23,250
Isn't this a wonderful evening?
1757
01:47:20,083 --> 01:47:21,583
Is that supposed to be me?
1758
01:47:24,500 --> 01:47:26,791
- Oh, my bad.
- It's okay.
1759
01:47:52,833 --> 01:47:54,833
Oh, you're all so wonderful.
1760
01:48:03,791 --> 01:48:07,250
Baby, I'm not saying I want
to go back down south.
1761
01:48:07,333 --> 01:48:10,916
So... what are you saying, baby?
1762
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:14,708
I'm saying it's just getting
too expensive to stay here.
1763
01:48:14,791 --> 01:48:17,166
We gots to figure it outs.
1764
01:48:20,750 --> 01:48:24,291
What's a girl gotta do to get some
soy milk around here?
1765
01:48:48,875 --> 01:48:50,833
What are you saying, sir?
1766
01:48:50,916 --> 01:48:53,166
Yeah, what are you saying?
1767
01:48:53,250 --> 01:48:57,208
I'm offering you
half a million dollars for your shop.
1768
01:48:57,666 --> 01:48:59,250
Mister, you can't do that.
1769
01:48:59,333 --> 01:49:00,833
Yo, this shop means everything to us.
1770
01:49:00,916 --> 01:49:01,791
Yeah, everything.
1771
01:49:01,875 --> 01:49:03,791
This shop means everything to me.
1772
01:49:05,583 --> 01:49:08,666
Well, it's not up to you... is it?
1773
01:49:10,625 --> 01:49:13,708
So... what'll it be?
1774
01:49:16,208 --> 01:49:17,041
Baby.
1775
01:49:18,041 --> 01:49:18,875
Honey.
1776
01:49:52,375 --> 01:49:54,416
So much for insurance.
1777
01:49:54,958 --> 01:49:56,916
I'll be fast, promise.
1778
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,500
You must. I can't miss a thing.
1779
01:49:59,583 --> 01:50:01,875
The first act was quite powerful,
wasn't it?
1780
01:50:01,958 --> 01:50:04,791
Yes. And I love that Jamie girl.
1781
01:50:04,875 --> 01:50:06,791
- She's a star.
- She's fabulous.
1782
01:50:06,916 --> 01:50:09,416
Raging on.
1783
01:50:09,500 --> 01:50:11,666
- City keeps raging on.
- Catchy, isn't it?
1784
01:50:11,750 --> 01:50:13,083
I love that tune.
1785
01:50:15,541 --> 01:50:18,708
Marcus would still be here
if it wasn't for you!
1786
01:50:19,583 --> 01:50:20,583
What did I do?
1787
01:50:20,666 --> 01:50:24,208
You came here... to Harlem.
That's what you did.
1788
01:50:24,291 --> 01:50:25,208
Mm-hmm.
1789
01:50:26,416 --> 01:50:29,083
I do not accept your energy.
1790
01:50:29,625 --> 01:50:32,583
I'm not your enemy, I'm your neighbor.
1791
01:50:32,666 --> 01:50:34,916
Your friend, your...
1792
01:50:37,208 --> 01:50:38,208
Sister?
1793
01:51:25,500 --> 01:51:27,250
That was just fabulous.
1794
01:51:34,416 --> 01:51:36,958
Thank you. Thank you.
1795
01:51:37,041 --> 01:51:39,416
Isn't this a glorious night?
Thank you so much.
1796
01:51:39,500 --> 01:51:42,416
Oh, my goodness. What a surprise.
Thank you so much.
1797
01:51:42,500 --> 01:51:44,791
- This is just so wonderful...
- Thank you, everybody.
1798
01:51:45,458 --> 01:51:48,875
- Our director, Julie Lipshitz. Thank you.
- Thank you.
1799
01:51:48,958 --> 01:51:52,916
If I may, I just am so excited
to share this moment with all of you.
1800
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:57,375
I just want to thank our incredible cast.
They worked so hard.
1801
01:51:57,458 --> 01:52:00,375
But nobody worked harder
than our playwright.
1802
01:52:00,458 --> 01:52:02,333
- Yes.
- And I would love to call her up.
1803
01:52:02,416 --> 01:52:04,750
- Radha, are you here?
- Is she here? Did she come?
1804
01:52:04,875 --> 01:52:06,583
- Radha?
- Radha?
1805
01:52:06,833 --> 01:52:08,916
- Where are you?
- Are you there?
1806
01:52:09,708 --> 01:52:11,833
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, Radha Blank.
1807
01:52:11,916 --> 01:52:12,916
Here she comes.
1808
01:52:16,583 --> 01:52:18,750
What a night.
1809
01:52:18,875 --> 01:52:21,083
Radha, this is so exciting for you.
Congratulations.
1810
01:52:21,625 --> 01:52:23,083
Thank you.
1811
01:52:24,500 --> 01:52:26,666
Say something! Radha Blank!
1812
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:30,166
Yeah, Miss B!
1813
01:52:30,291 --> 01:52:31,500
Um...
1814
01:52:32,166 --> 01:52:34,083
I want to thank this amazing cast.
1815
01:52:34,625 --> 01:52:38,041
Um, my amazing director Julie Lipshitz.
1816
01:52:38,125 --> 01:52:40,166
Thank you for bringing Harlem alive.
1817
01:52:40,250 --> 01:52:42,791
And, um, of course, J. Whitman.
1818
01:52:42,875 --> 01:52:45,041
- Thank you.
- Where would I be without you?
1819
01:52:48,583 --> 01:52:49,750
Um...
1820
01:52:50,083 --> 01:52:51,875
Wow.
1821
01:52:52,041 --> 01:52:53,916
So, um...
1822
01:52:54,666 --> 01:52:58,125
Every playwright dreams of this...
1823
01:52:59,416 --> 01:53:00,458
moment.
1824
01:53:05,875 --> 01:53:07,875
Every playwright hopes...
1825
01:53:08,916 --> 01:53:10,625
every playwright hopes...
1826
01:53:13,333 --> 01:53:17,000
they don't write a piece of shit
like this play.
1827
01:53:25,208 --> 01:53:29,375
My, um... mother raised me to be fearless,
1828
01:53:29,458 --> 01:53:30,833
and, um...
1829
01:53:32,291 --> 01:53:34,375
I guess when she died, I...
1830
01:53:35,750 --> 01:53:37,791
that's when I started getting afraid.
1831
01:53:43,166 --> 01:53:44,666
Oof.
1832
01:53:53,166 --> 01:53:54,250
Hmm.
1833
01:53:55,708 --> 01:53:57,583
I got really afraid
1834
01:53:58,750 --> 01:54:01,750
Scared of the choices
And the bullshit I made
1835
01:54:02,958 --> 01:54:05,208
Thinking I wouldn't get paid
1836
01:54:05,291 --> 01:54:08,541
But I'm Carol's daughter
So that shit don't stain
1837
01:54:09,208 --> 01:54:12,375
I gotta tell you, a nigga was choking
1838
01:54:12,833 --> 01:54:17,125
Tired of selling my soul
For these tokens, these coins
1839
01:54:17,666 --> 01:54:20,500
But guess what?I made a different choice
1840
01:54:20,875 --> 01:54:24,958
Because it's time to FYOV
Find your own voice
1841
01:54:25,375 --> 01:54:26,791
FYOV
1842
01:54:27,333 --> 01:54:28,750
FYOV
1843
01:54:29,208 --> 01:54:32,000
Forty-year-old version, indubitably
1844
01:54:32,416 --> 01:54:33,583
FYOV
1845
01:54:34,250 --> 01:54:35,666
FYOV
1846
01:54:36,125 --> 01:54:39,083
Not telling truth
Just don't make sense to me
1847
01:54:39,583 --> 01:54:41,958
Holding back from who you should be
1848
01:54:42,041 --> 01:54:43,666
FYOV
1849
01:54:44,541 --> 01:54:45,875
Fund your own vision
1850
01:54:46,708 --> 01:54:48,291
Fill your own void
1851
01:54:48,708 --> 01:54:50,291
Find your own voice
1852
01:54:51,375 --> 01:54:52,958
Fuck you old vultures
1853
01:54:54,291 --> 01:54:55,916
Forty-year-old version
1854
01:54:56,291 --> 01:54:57,666
That's who I be
1855
01:55:00,041 --> 01:55:00,958
I'm out
1856
01:55:03,208 --> 01:55:05,250
Yeah!
1857
01:55:05,333 --> 01:55:06,208
Woo!
1858
01:55:06,458 --> 01:55:08,125
Miss B, that's right!
1859
01:55:17,041 --> 01:55:18,291
- Radha.
- No!
1860
01:55:18,375 --> 01:55:19,791
- Radha...
- No!
1861
01:55:19,875 --> 01:55:20,916
- Radha!
- No!
1862
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:22,833
If you're gonna tell me that
I fucked up again,
1863
01:55:22,916 --> 01:55:24,541
- I don't want to hear it.
- Radha, I get it.
1864
01:55:26,583 --> 01:55:27,833
You did good.
1865
01:55:29,833 --> 01:55:30,791
I'm proud of you.
1866
01:55:34,458 --> 01:55:35,583
- I quit.
- You're fired.
1867
01:55:42,208 --> 01:55:43,500
I love you, Archie.
1868
01:55:45,166 --> 01:55:46,166
I love you, too.
1869
01:55:52,291 --> 01:55:54,291
- Okay, I gotta go.
- What?
1870
01:55:55,458 --> 01:55:57,500
I gotta handle some business.
1871
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:01,208
You know... business.
1872
01:56:03,250 --> 01:56:05,250
Oh!
1873
01:56:05,416 --> 01:56:06,500
Okay.
1874
01:56:06,583 --> 01:56:07,541
Mmm.
1875
01:56:07,666 --> 01:56:09,208
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm!
1876
01:56:09,916 --> 01:56:12,250
Get it. Get it.
1877
01:56:14,250 --> 01:56:17,500
This is a Brooklyn bound C local train.
1878
01:58:12,250 --> 01:58:14,791
That girl that was rhyming?
1879
01:58:16,125 --> 01:58:19,458
Oh, yeah, that's Kaya from Queens.
1880
01:58:20,750 --> 01:58:23,625
- She's fucking dope.
- Yeah.
1881
01:58:23,708 --> 01:58:25,708
And age appropriate.
1882
01:58:26,833 --> 01:58:28,458
And also my little cousin.
1883
01:58:31,958 --> 01:58:32,791
For real?
1884
01:58:33,750 --> 01:58:35,166
Yeah.
1885
01:58:35,250 --> 01:58:36,291
Okay.
1886
01:58:38,458 --> 01:58:39,333
You look nice.
1887
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:42,875
Thank you. It was opening night.
1888
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:44,875
Of your play?
1889
01:58:45,416 --> 01:58:46,250
Yep.
1890
01:58:47,250 --> 01:58:48,583
So, what you doing here?
1891
01:58:52,541 --> 01:58:53,416
I don't know.
1892
01:59:01,916 --> 01:59:05,875
I got this new joint, though!
It's crazy!
1893
01:59:06,375 --> 01:59:07,583
Let me guess.
1894
01:59:08,333 --> 01:59:12,083
You looped baby goats crying.
1895
01:59:12,166 --> 01:59:13,916
Nah, but that's good.
1896
01:59:14,958 --> 01:59:17,291
- Mennonite chants.
- Oh.
1897
01:59:17,958 --> 01:59:20,750
- What?
- Yeah, shit's crazy.
1898
01:59:20,916 --> 01:59:23,083
- On a serious note, though...
- What?
1899
01:59:23,166 --> 01:59:25,625
You been...
like, you been writing since...
1900
01:59:26,375 --> 01:59:27,208
No.
1901
01:59:30,083 --> 01:59:33,583
So, we go off top of the dome, then.
1902
01:59:34,250 --> 01:59:36,500
- Okay.
- I got a beat on me right now.
1903
01:59:36,583 --> 01:59:38,333
- What we doing?
- What? What you got?
1904
01:59:41,791 --> 01:59:42,666
Yeah
1905
01:59:43,166 --> 01:59:44,416
Uh
1906
01:59:44,625 --> 01:59:45,541
Word
1907
01:59:46,083 --> 01:59:46,916
Yo
1908
01:59:47,458 --> 01:59:49,041
I think I just saw a rat
1909
01:59:51,666 --> 01:59:55,000
This gonna make
a fat girl start running
1910
01:59:56,583 --> 01:59:57,750
Under the sun and
1911
01:59:58,708 --> 02:00:00,250
Out, in and out
1912
02:00:00,833 --> 02:00:02,041
Ain't no doubt
1913
02:00:03,166 --> 02:00:06,000
I used to have clout like Cardi B
1914
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:09,208
There's a part of me
1915
02:00:10,875 --> 02:00:12,625
That's real hard on me
1916
02:00:36,208 --> 02:00:38,541
Hey, not a bad ending.
1917
02:00:38,708 --> 02:00:41,416
Could have been
a little bit more sex in there,
1918
02:00:41,500 --> 02:00:44,291
