Previously
on Bob Hearts Abishola...

Your husband is coming
to America.

What?

That's a nice dress.
Tayo will like it.

It's not for him.

I just grabbed any old thing
from the closet.

Well, your old thing has
a tag from Nordstrom's.

I do not want him to come here.

Ah-ah, a father
must see his son.

Would you rather they eat
at the Home of the Whopper?

E kaabo, Dad.

Look at you.
(chuckles)

You are a man now.

Here's what you will do.

You will go to college
and study medicine

and this nonsense,

and when you graduate,

you and I will
sit down together,

and I will decide
what is next.

Thank you, Mum.
That's wonderful.

(knock on door)

Hey.

Look who I ran into
in the hallway.

Kaale, Abishola.

Kaale. Come in.

After you.

I insist.

No, really.

Oh, but I couldn't.

Just come inside.

I have to go
and check on dinner.

This is a surprise. I didn't
see you in the elevator.

Why take an elevator
when it is only three floors?

Well, if you read the sign,
it says in case of emergency,

use the stairs.

Dele, the game is starting.

Hey, Dele.

Kaale, Bob.

(chuckles)

Kaale, Dad.

(crowd cheering on TV)

Watching a little
soccer, huh?

Football.

No, it's not.

You're welcome
to watch with us.

Uh, no, thanks.
I'm not a big fútbol guy.

Perhaps you don't understand
the subtleties of the game.

Oh, I understand.
It's just

the most boring thing
I've ever seen.

You're talking to a guy
who makes socks for a living.

Bob.

I should go help.

Yes. The kitchen
is a better place for you.

Yeah,
that's where the knives are.

How come you didn't tell
me he was coming over?

Uh-uh.

I said Tayo will be watching
the game with Dele.

I didn't know you meant here.

Where did you think I meant?

I don't know, a sports bar?

My son is not going to a bar.

No, no, a bar is
full of drunks.

A sports bar has drunks
and their kids.

We are making dinner here.

Right. Sundays
are pork chops and Tayo.

A boy should spend
time with his father.

That almost sounded
like you meant it.

Are you doing all right
with all this?

I'm fine.

You sure?

You don't have to talk about
it if you don't want to.

I mean, I'm not good
with this stuff, either.

What stuff?

You know, emotional stuff.

You're right.
You're not good at it.

But I'm fine.

Okay.

But are you? 'Cause
sometimes I say I'm fine

when I'm, you know, not fine.

Bob.

Got it.

I'm fine, too.

Good.

See, this is one of those
times where I said I'm fine,

but I'm not fine.

Chop tomatoes
or go and watch football.

There's more action
with the tomatoes.

("Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing)

Mmm.

My potato salad
should receive a Michelin star.

They don't review
hospital cafeterias.

Well, they should.
Good food is good food.

The best meal I ever ate
was in a Turkish prison.

Why were you in
a Turkish prison?

I didn't have to disclose that
to get this job,

and I don't have
to disclose it now.

Tayo wants to pick Dele up
from school.

Yeah, he could not
get the lioness,

and now he's set his
sights on the cub.

Mm. He just wants
to spend time with him.

Oh, yeah, being
the fun dad

while you get stuck
being the bad cop.

The bad cop?

Yeah. You know, the one
telling him to clean his room,

do his homework, punishing him.

That sounds
like a good cop to me.

Oh, that poor cub.

I hate to say it, but it's
easier when the husband is dead.

You don't hate to say it.
You say that all the time.

Yes, but you have to say
you hate to say it.

You shouldn't say it at all.

Why not? It's a fact.

You don't have to deal
with a messy divorce.

And you never have to see them
on the arm of another woman.

And sometimes you can
get a little money.

And he's not there

to tell you how to spend it.

Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna admit it does
sound pretty good.

You hate to say it.

Oh, yeah. I-I hate to say it.

Okay, that was really good.

As soon as Mark figures out
the routine isn't all about him,

it'll be perfect.

Everyone take a break and,

uh, we'll run it
through one more time.

Dele.

Oh,

uh, that's my dad.

We're done for the day.
I'll see you guys later.

See you later.

See ya!

Bye.

When your mother said
you had practice,

I was expecting a sport.

Basketball, football.

Not this cheerleading
nonsense.

It's not cheerleading. It's
a dance group that I started.

Oh, so you are
the cheerleader leader?

Choreographer.

What? Speak up, now.

Or are you as embarrassed
by this as I am?

You need to pick a career that
will give you a good life.

There is no future
with this dancing business.

I'm still going to be a doctor.
I'm just doing this for fun.

Not anymore. It is unmanly.

Yes, Dad.

You will stop
this nonsense.

One day, you will
understand and thank me.

Yes, Dad.

And don't worry. This
is not your fault.

I blame your mother.

(crowd cheering)

(knock on door)

Come in.

You wanted to see us?

Yeah.

Why do people think
this is good?

You mean soccer?

And you mean 80% of
the world's population?

Help me out here.

I'm trying to enjoy it,
but nothing's happening.

Oh, it would be an honor
to use company time

to help you appreciate
this beautiful game.

Oh!

Oh! Oh.

Why was that exciting?

He was offside.

Okay.

GOODWIN:
Which means

the teammate he
was passing to

was a little ahead of
the backmost defender.

And that's exciting?

No. But it is almost exciting.

KOFO:
The beauty of football is,

everything has to go just right
for success to be achieved.

It is like
the old ketchup commercial.

Do you remember?

♪ Anticipation ♪

BOTH:
♪ Anticipation, it's ♪

♪ Making me wait. ♪

The ketchup tastes better

because you have to wait for it.

I never waited.

I just always shoved
a butter knife up there.

GOODWIN: Ah, yes.

Americans have no
patience for anything.

Except iPhones. They're happy
to wait in line for iPhones.

Mr. Wheeler,
you're a good businessman

because you see a problem

and you go right at it.

But there are times
where that strategy

will not work.

Football,
women and ketchup.

These are things
you must be patient with.

What do you know
about women?

For your information,
in the city of Detroit,

my accent is very sexy.

Hmm.

(gasps)
Ooh!

Ooh!

Why is everybody
getting worked up?

The guy just tripped.

Because the other man
just touched his ankle,

so now he's getting
a yellow card.

Does it say "get well soon"?

KOFO:
No.

It's a warning.
If it occurs again,

he'll be shown a red card.

Oh, what's next?
He gets put in time-out?

Yes.

(cheering on TV)

Now what?

(chuckles): There is a
beach ball in the stands.

(both cheering)

(cheers)

Get out of here.

Kaale, Auntie.
Kaale, Uncle.

There is something wrong
with your son.

Uh-uh. Is he sick?

No. He is mopey.

UNCLE TUNDE:
We did what we could.

I yelled at him.

Olu had him clean
the bathroom.

There is nothing more
we can do.

(door opens)

Kaale, Mom.

Huh. What's wrong?

Nothing.

Okay.

But be un-mopey by dinner.

I decided to stop dancing.

Because it is ridiculous.

Because Dad told me to.

I see.

And, uh...

How do you...

...feel?

I feel like
I should stop dancing.

Good.

That's the correct feeling.

But, uh...

do you feel other...

...feelings?

Excuse me?

Don't make me ask you again.

I'm...

I'm not happy about it.

That's what I thought.

See you later.

Are you hungry?

No.

Okay.

Chili ready?

Not yet.

Needs time for the
flavor to build.

Well, better hurry.

The Sun is gonna
set in 17 minutes.

So what?

I'm intermittent fasting.

I'm only eating sunup
until sundown.

Oh, maybe I'll try that
with drinking.

I think that's called
intermittent alcoholism.

You can't rush chili.
You got to be patient.

Oh, my God. Soccer is chili.

(phone ringing)

Hey, what's up?

I need your help with feelings.

Oh. Uh, okay, yeah.

You said I could come to you.

Of course.

I'm here. I'm putting on
my emotional support hat.

You need a hat for this?

No, I just... What happened?

Dele's upset
because his father made him

stop dancing, and I didn't know
who else to call.

All right.
Well, let's talk it through.

That's what partners do.

Thank you, Bob.

So, Tayo's
starting to influence Dele.

Is that weird for you?

Why does that matter?

I thought you wanted to talk
about your feelings.

No, I don't want to talk
about my feelings.

I want you to talk to Dele
about his feelings.

Oh. Uh, okay.
But how are you doing with it?

Will you stop with this nonsense
and come and help?

Now?

Yes, now.
My son is having feelings.

I'll get my hat. My real hat.

I'm going over to Abishola's.

The chili's not very good, Bob.

It's a bit off.

Next time, maybe let it cook
a little longer.

(speaks Yoruba)
Tell Bob about your feelings.

Knock, knock.

What are you doing?

It's his room.

It is my room. I just
allow him to sleep in it.

What's going on?

Bob is here to take away
your unhappiness.

Hey, buddy. How you doing?

Good.

You see?

He says he's good,
but look at his face.

That is not a good face.

Why don't you just
give us a minute?

Fine.

Just because you're unhappy

does not mean
you have to be dirty.

She's worried about you.

I know.
She never does my laundry.

Who does?

I do.

Right. Nigerian.

Look, we don't have to talk

about anything
you don't want to talk about.

I'm just checking in.

I'm fine.

You're fine.

Well, when you're looking
for a hobby to replace dancing,

don't pick poker.

She's glad I'm not dancing.

She's just angry I'm
quitting because of my dad.

Why are you quitting?
You love dancing.

When has that
ever mattered?

That's all that matters.

Look, at the end of the day,
it's your life.

Not your mom's.
Not your dad's.

So what do you want to do?

I want to keep dancing.

I thought so.

I'm intuitive that way.

Very in touch with my feelings.

Thanks, Bob.

Oh, and by the way, I agree
with you about soccer.

Really?

It's so boring.

Okay, honestly, this is the
best conversation I've ever had.

Kaasan, Tayo.

Kaasan, Abishola.

We need to talk.

Yes, we do.

Yesterday, I saw my son
climbing a human pyramid.

He looked like a cherry
on top of a sundae.

This is what you
want, this dancing?

Of course not. It is nonsense.

Okay, then what is the problem?

It should be his choice.

I know how stupid that sounds.

But he's a good boy,
and I trust him.

And I know how stupid
that sounds.

And what I'm about to say next
will sound even more stupid.

I want my son to be happy.

(scoffs)
So, to make him happy,

you'll just let him
do whatever he likes?

If doing whatever he likes
means working hard,

getting straight As,

and doing this stupid dance
thing on the side,

then yes.

(scoffs) You both
have become too American.

Oh. Because that is
where you dragged us

and it is where you left us.

Dele is my son.

That is true.

But do not forget,

I am the one raising him.

Mummy, lift the screen.

Is that better?

Much better.

That is a lovely dress.

Thank you. It is new.
Dry-clean only.

Very nice.

That reminds me,
I could use a new steamer.

I will send you a photo
of the one I want.

For your birthday?

For Dele to bring.

What are you talking about?

When he comes to visit Nigeria
with his father.

He's not going to Nigeria.

I believe a ticket
has been bought.

Nobody talked to me about this.

Well, Tayo talked to me.

It is not his decision.

EBUNOLUWA:
Hey, hey.

You don't want Dele
to come see his own grandmother?

You want a stranger
to bring my steamer?

I have to go, Mummy.

Abishola, wait.

Yes.

Your hair looks terrible today.

(door opens)

Uh-huh, we need to talk to you.

He is a teenage boy.

Knocking is best
for everybody.

Your father wants
to take you to Nigeria.

Yes, he told me.

He cannot force
you to do anything

you don't want to do.

Because...

Because it is your choice.

And...

You want Dele to be happy.

You do?

Of course I do. Didn't you
hear what he just said?

You were doing so good.

Don't worry.

I will tell your father
that you do not want to go.

But I do.

What?

I want to go with my dad.

But he will not let you dance.

He will not let you do
anything that makes you happy.

Because he doesn't know me.

But if I go, he can
learn more about me

and my dancing and everything
else that's important to me.

Is that what he told you?

Yes. He wants us to get
to know each other.

And I'd like to meet
the rest of my family.

The rest of his family.

I'll see Granny Ebun, too.

Please, Mum.

It's only for the summer.

This is really what you want?

Yes, Mum.

I see.

You did great.

I'm so glad he feels
he can be honest with you.

Oh, come here.

Bob.

(crowd cheering)

Why do we have to watch
this American football?

Bob made an effort to take
an interest in our sport.

The least we can do is
become his football buddies.

But there's no flow
to the game, huh?

Just five seconds of men
trying to kill each other,

then a commercial
where a dog brings a man a beer.

(man grunts)

Oh.

It is very violent.

And I have slaughtered
many goats.

Perhaps we are too sophisticated
for this barbaric game.

Ah, ah, ah. That player.

Look at his name.

Ogbah.

He's Nigerian.

And he's chasing the
man with the ball.

Get him, Ogbah!

Kill him!

Smash his head!

Ogbah!

(both laughing)

Ogbah!

BOTH:
Ogbah!
