All language subtitles for All American Homecoming - 2x10

[Q's "The Cry Out" playing]

Athletic director, voice-over:
You did break the rules,

so you'll be required to serve
a suspension of one match.

Hinds, voice-over: The minute
Thea has recovered and cleared,

she's getting
her top 6 spot back.

[Knock on door]

Oh. Wait.

You getting ready
for the tennis streets?

Something like that.

It's definitely
gonna be a battle

to get back
out there, though.

After sitting out
one match?

Damn, y'all really do be
acting like it's Fight Club.

Girl, feels like it,

and I'm not the
only one in the ring.

How's dance going?

Good, I guess.
I don't know.

Dr. Pace hasn't
really been there,

so her assistant's
been teaching the class.

What's up
with that?

Girl, I'm minding
my business.

I'mma let
that game come to me.

Q: ♪ And loving's
all I have to give ♪

♪ But I can't give...

Is he still thinking
about coming back early?

Last I heard,
but no one's

been able
to reach him.

Well, wherever he is,
whenever he gets here,

we'll be
ready for him.

All right.
We need to go.

We don't want to be late
to welcoming Damon back.

Yeah.

I just hope he's not
coming back too soon.

He doesn't want to miss
your remission anniversary.

Mm.

I don't know why
you won't let anybody

Because life is
lifing right now.

Between Damon's
adoptive dad dying

and my parents
divorcing,

who got energy to
celebrate anything?

But we can at least
celebrate your good news.

This whole Cape Cod
Summer Invitational thing.

It's a big deal,
right?

It's an unofficial
rite of passage

to MLB hopefuls.

That deserves
a toast or whatever.

Maybe then
you'll feel inclined

to tell your dad
the good news.

I don't know.

Hey, bro.

Man, I'm sorry
for your loss.

If there's anything
we can do...

No. Seriously,
we're here for you.

Cam: Yeah, bro.
We got you.

That includes
me, too.

So they drug you

to this welcoming
committee, Coach?

I had to lay eyes
on you myself.

Look, if you
need anything,

even if it's company
in silence, man,

we're all
here for you, OK?

Look. I--
I appreciate it,

but I'm straight.

You know, my dad,
he's had Alzheimer's,

so I kind of lost him
a long time ago,

so any grief
or whatever,

that's in
the rearview.

Look, bro, you don't
really have to explain.

Now, look, what
I want you to do is,

I want you to
celebrate, all right?

Between your anniversary
and Cape Cod,

you should be
living it up.

J.R.: Yeah.
Damon: All right.

Should we be worried?

Cam: Oh, hell yeah.
Simone: Definitely.

[Knock on door]

Come in, Simone.

[Door opens]

How'd you know
it was me?

Because I know you.

But I am.

I mean, come on.

What do you
want from me?

I want you to be
honest with yourself.

Your mom
does, too.

Of course.
She called you.

What, does she want you
to keep an eye on me?

Yeah,
and she also wants me

to let you know
about the letter

in the side compartment
of your bag.

I don't
understand, uh,

why she just didn't
tell me about it.

It's a letter
from your dad.

You made it very clear

that you didn't want
to talk about him,

so she thought maybe
you'd be more open

once you got back
to Bringston.

What does it say?

All I know is that
your mom said

he wrote it
years ago

and he put it
in his will

for you
to have it now.

Look, if you
want me to stay--

Nope. Look,

I don't need to
read it, all right,

but thank you for
telling me about it.

OK.

I'm around
if and when you need me.

Yep. Thank you.

♪ Said I was
the best thing that you ♪

♪ Ever had

♪ Had, had

Shouldn't you be getting
ready for practice?

I need to talk
to Coach Loni, too.

I heard you got cleared
for competitive play.

Mm-hmm, and I heard
your suspension is over.

You're here to talk
to Coach Loni

about your spot
on the top 6.

I assume you're here
to do the same.

Well, at least
this couldn't get

any more awkward.
[Ringtone]

Welcome back, ladies.

Thanks. Is Coach
Loni available?

No. Since I lost
rock, paper, scissors,

I'm dealing
with you two.

Well, I'm
ready to fight

for my spot back
on the top 6.

Aw, sweetie,
a lot has changed

since you've
been on the court,

so why don't you just
let us finish talking?

How about you two
stop talking?

Before there's any
discussion about the top 6,

we need to ease you back
into competitive play,

so you'll be playing doubles
together in today's match.

Thea: What? Excuse me. I--
Simone: I am so sorry. What?

It's not up
for discussion.

FYI, the building
we've identified

for the new
athletic dorm
has become available.

I've contacted
BU's realtor

to start the
purchasing process.

I'm sorry.

Why is this the first
I'm hearing about it?

Zeke Allen
set it up.

He got the board to
approve it years ago.

The only thing
we needed

was for a building
to become available.

Well, I'm
the president now,

and there will be
a discussion

about how this
building will be used

because it should be
used for all students,

not just athletes.

I'm sorry,
President Patterson,

but it's
a done deal.

Oh, I, too, am sorry,
A.D. Taylor,

but it is not.

Welcome to
the new regime.

I heard
about Xavier.

When my mother passed,
I got so tired

of people offering
their condolences,

so I won't do that,
but I will say

I am grateful
to him.

I'm grateful
you had him.

Thanks. Look,

I know I haven't shown up
to the diner. I'm just--

I meant what I said.

I'll be there
Wednesdays at 7:00
until you're ready.

Cool, because I did want
to make today about J.R.

We're on
the same page.

Yo, Cam, appreciate
you helping out, man.

That's what we do,
not that I had
a choice.

Oh, that's
my cue to bounce.

I get the work, but
I can't have no fun.

Tell him I said
big ups, though.

Gabby: OK. Stop. Stop.
J.R.: See? See? See? See? Ha!

All: Surprise!

For real? Y'all are--
Man, wow. Ha ha!

Congratulations, son.

You remember
Gabby, right?

Jessie: I do. Nice
to see you again.

You, too,
Mr. Raymond.

Please, call me Jessie.

Man: You got
that right, son.

I also go by "sir"
unless you're

my death-defying
grandson.

You call me Gramps.
Ha ha ha!

Dad, we didn't
think you'd join us.

There's no place else
I'd rather be.

Gramps, I can't
believe you're here.

Look, Let me introduce you
to a few people.

This is my girl Gabby...

and this, that's your
other grandson Damon.

Uh, nice to
meet you, sir.

Welcome to
the family, son.

Ahh...

It's nice having an MLB
prospect in the family.

Now, I'm just gonna
put this out there--

Damon Raymond, huh?

That's got a nice ring
to it, don't it?

Uh, look, let's
celebrate, y'all.

Come on.
Let's eat, then.

Uh!

Switch!

Simone: Ow! Seriously?

I said, Switch.

When did we talk about
switching positions, Thea?

Thea: It's obvious...
Simone: It's obvious?

This is an example
of the problem

we've had all year--
lack of communication.

Our next match
is this afternoon.

I don't care what you do,
but do something together

I mean, she's right.
We're better than this.

Well, duh,
but what exactly,

does she
expect us to do?

I'll text y'all
both an address.

Be there in an hour.

Uh-uh, and where
are you taking us?

You'll see.
Trust, Simone. Ha ha!

Coach Marcus,

I'm sure you've heard
that we're
moving forward

with our plans for
the new athletic dorm.

I did. So it's
a done deal?

Hmm, almost.

There's one obstacle
in the way--

President Patterson.

I need your help
to get her on board.

Well, if I know
our president,

she wants to use
the building for all students.

And, respectfully,
I agree with her.

Well, respectfully,

don't let
your recent success

make you
too comfortable.

Excuse me?

There's
a lot of coaches

showing interest
in Bringston.

You just got
your job back.

Your position
is on shaky ground.

Is that
a threat, man?

It's a plea
for your help.

[Exhales]

My dad owns
5 escape rooms

in the Greater Atlanta area.

This one opens at night,

so we have the whole
place to ourselves.

So let me get
this straight.

Your big idea
for bonding

is to lock us up
in this crazy-ass room

for an hour
to decipher clues

on how to get out.

We just need
to pick a room.

We have a room
that's set in space.

Let's do the
space-themed room.

That should be fun.

Uh, you're not
captain anymore,

so you don't
get to choose.

Thea: And you do?
Simone: No.

I think
we should vote.

That's just it.

The team has voted.
We're tired of your drama.

Our drama?

Tootie, you've
been the center

of this mess
all season.

OK. True, but I'm willing
to put that aside

if it means
we all win.

You two
aren't giving that,

at least not yet, so...

[Clears throat]

Simone: Um...
Thea: What are you doing?

Simone: Open the door.
Tootie: Bye.

Thea: This isn't funny.
Simone: Open the door.

[Door handle rattling]

Thea, calm down.

Gabby: You got
your own pool cue?

I see you,
Mr. Raymond.

Young lady, when
it comes to Eight-ball,
I don't play.

Yeah. That's probably
why J's so competitive
with it.

Guilty. J.R.
picked it up fast,

unlike some
people I know.

Jessie, are you gonna
take your next shot soon?

I want to celebrate
Christmas at home.

Jessie: Just give me
a minute, Dad.

J.R., so I hear you picked up
something else from me.

Decided to go
into engineering.

Heh. I started
this semester.

Man, I can't wait for you
to take over the reins

I almost took the company
back from him.

Well, I know of
a up-and-coming engineer

that Raymond Home Contractors

will be lucky to have
one day.

What?

Damon, I knew you had
baseball in your blood,

but engineering, too?

Man. You're a Raymond.
You're a Raymond
through and through.

Damon: Mr. Raymond, it's not--
J.R.: Whoa, Gramps, Gramps.

Heh! I'm talking about Gabby.

Oh. Ha ha ha!

Well, so you're
in engineering, too.

Yes, sir.

Well, good for you,
little lady.

Yeah. Uh-huh.

All that
and still missed.

Mm mm mm.

[Indistinct conversation]

Hey.

Apparently, Dr. Patterson
thinks Dr. Pace

works her students
too hard, so from now on,

we're just gonna focus
on the fundamentals.

No more
guest choreographers.

The end-of-the-year
showcase is canceled.

OK. Yeah.

That's crazy, but it's still
not explaining the shade.

You've been on Dr. Pace's
bad side from day one,

and we all know how close
you are with Dr. Patterson.

No. It's really not
like that.

You couldn't cut it,

so you ruined this class
for everyone else.

There you go.
Let me know if you
have any questions.

I can't believe you would
betray my trust like this.

First of all,
you knock, young lady.

Second, I'm gonna need
you to take a breath

and then tell me
what's wrong.

When you asked me
about Dr. Pace,

you said you were
asking as Dr. P.,

not as the president
of Bringston,

and then you went behind my
back and talked to Dr. Pace?

Come on, Keish. You can't
talk to Dr. P. like that.

Well, this is
a private conversation, Cam.

Feel free to leave
at any time.

Cam, please
give us a minute.

I suggested to her
that she re-evaluate

her teaching style
to ensure the safety

and well-being
of her students.

That's all.

And now she's
taking away everything

that makes her
classes special,

and everyone
blames me.

Keisha, I am sorry
that happened,

your physical and
emotional well-being.

I never asked you
to do that.

I can fight
my own battles.

This wasn't
just about you.

You weren't the only
student that's had

this experience
with Dr. Pace.

I cannot believe you're
hiding behind your job

right now.

I trusted you.

"The treasure lies
in the moon's wake.

"The path forward
is hidden from sight

"by a sun that travels
east to west

"for the night.

"All will be revealed
in due course.

Heed my advice.
Chart a route north."

What--

[Exhales]

Can't believe
Tootie did this.

Simone: Heh. Really?
You created the monster.

Tootie is not
my fault.

Yeah. She is.

Yeah, and the
culture I created

pushed my teammates
towards excellence.

Well, there's
a difference

between requiring excellence
and instilling fear.

Everyone's so scared
to be the next target,

so they'd rather
just take aim.

Oh, and--let me guess--
you've been the main target.

Tootie came for me
because you have been

coming for me since
day one. Let's be real.

I was trying to instill
excellence in you,

but how many times have
you said that out loud?

Yeah. You know, if
I made you a target,

you made me
the villain.

All I wanted was
to be your friend

and--I don't know--

you be a compassionate
teammate for once.

This team was unified
before you showed up,

and maybe the culture
I dictated

didn't suit you,
but it worked for us.

We were a team.

[Trunk creaks]

"South winds
make your ship shake."

[Rattles]

"Treasure lies
in the moon's..."

"wake...

"by a sun...

that travels east..."

"Chart a route north."

One lock down,
two to go.

[Bigger Story & C5's
"Add Me Up" playing]

C5: ♪ If you're gonna do it,
do it right... ♪

Grandpa: Oh, man, and you've
never played before?

Heh. No, sir,

but I kind of just
pick up on things fast.

That's a sign
of a true athlete.

Dad, you should come
watch him play,

really see him
in his element.

I might just
have to do that.

Gabby: I don't mean to interrupt
y'all salivating over Damon,

but there's someone else
in your family

you're overlooking
who has natural talent.

Gabby: Let them know, J.R.
Jessie: Let us know what?

I got invited to try out
for Cape Cod Summer League.

Grandpa: Hmm.
Damon: Yes, sir.

Wow. Cape Cod League is
a stepping stone to the majors.

You think you
have that in you?

Damon: I mean,
how can you say that?
You've seen J. play.

Because he's
gonna be competing
against guys

who've been playing
center field for years.

J.R., you've only been
at it a few months.

The odds of making
the team are slim.

So, what, J's just supposed
to give up on his dreams?

J.R.: Yo,
it's all good, man.

Dad's just being
on brand, all right?

Jessie, your job
is to make sure

your sons do
better than you.

Now, if you're not gonna
support J.R., then I will.

Dad, you're just
saying that
to stick it to me

like you always do.

Hold up. Gramps
always had my back.

This ain't got
nothing to do with you.

Trust me, son,
it does.

Grandpa: You see, there's
no question in my mind

why your other son still won't
meet you at that diner.

Don't bring Damon
into this.

Oh, Damon's not in it.
He's gone.

Keisha: Hey.
Cam: Hey.

I think we're due

for a good,
old-fashioned
"I'm sorry."

I agree.

It's all on you,
pretty girl.

Oh, no. You owe
me an apology

You defended Dr. P.
and wouldn't

leave her side
without permission.

You mean I wouldn't bounce
when you told me to.

Yeah. We gonna talk
about that in a second.

I can't believe
you right now.

Hold up, Keish.

Look, there's a bigger
picture you ain't seeing.

You didn't just
blow up at Dr. P.
or the president.

OK. What, she
has another job

that I
don't know about?

You remember
how you thought

your dad was
seeing somebody?

Yeah, but it cooled
down a little bit.

Are you trying to
say that they're--

I didn't put it together
until your dad

called the office today.

Start of semester,
Dr. P. was acting

Don't mean
they're not.

Amara: Yes, athletics
delivers revenue,

but this building
could be a resource

to other departments
in need of space.

This isn't
them versus us.

It's a chance
to work together

to serve the needs
of the entire student body.

Trustee: Thank you,
Dr. Patterson,

for your thoughtful
presentation.

Coach Marcus, I would love
to hear your take on this.

As I understand it,
the reason Bringston

can afford this property
is because your team

generated
the revenue it did

for the
pay-to-play game.

[Clears throat]

Well, athletics is the
lifeblood here at Bringston.

Our athletes
deserve a facility

that will help
them achieve

at their
highest level.

New facilities will
attract elite players,

which, in turn,
will increase our stature

as a program
and revenues,

so that's
my two cents.

[Jessie speaking indistinctly]

Jessie: ...can't hear anything
I'm saying to you.

Jessie: Dad, how could you
undermine me with my son?

Jessie, your
relationship with J.R.

was already broken.

I guess that's why
it always falls to me

to do what
has to be done.

What are you
talking about now?

Grandpa: I'm sorry.
Of course. You don't see it.

I'm gonna tell him
he has to break up

with that fast girl
before it's too late.

What? Dad, no. Just stay
out of J.R.'s business.

I have always
protected J.R.,

and I'm not
gonna stop now.

If you're so
concerned with J.R.,

why support him
with Cape Cod?

If I'd have come to you
with something like this,

you would've
forbade it.

Son, if you
had shown hustle

about anything
in your life,

I would've
backed you,

but that's not you,
is it, son?

You let everyone
walk all over you,

even your wife.

We answered
the clues.

Why isn't
the door opening?

I don't know.

Clearly, we're
missing something.

[Ringtone]

Maybe you
should answer that.

Could be Damon's mom
calling again.

Girl, Keena called
to check and see

how Damon
was holding up.

She's worried
about him.

Well, in that case,
why not call me?

I used to date
him, not you.

Exactly.

You broke
her son's heart.

Plus, she probably didn't
want to make things awkward.

[Exhales]

That does
make sense.

How is he?

Well, last
I talked to him,

he said he's good.

I don't
believe him, but--

You haven't checked
on him yourself?

No. I--

I was just
getting the hang

of the, like,
girlfriend thing.

I--I don't know
how to be the ex.

You start by
being his friend.

His dad
passed away,

so put your
feelings aside

and just show up,
period.

OK.

Your bedside manner
used to be better.

I'm sorry.

I'm stuck in
an escape room

about to miss my match,
if you'll excuse me.

Oh, that's right.

What was
the last clue?

"The pirates panicked,
and their ship sank.

To reclaim their glory,
rebuild the plank."

I mean, I saw some
planks over there.

Hmm.

I mean, it's just
a broken board,

but...

Wait. Hold up.

Let me see.

I've seen
that symbol.

Hold on.
I saw it. Where?

Oh, yeah.

Both: OK.

Uhh...

Thea: Let me try.
Simone: Yeah.

[Door is unlocked]

Simone: Yes! Ha ha ha!
Thea: Yeah! Ha ha!

Simone: We did it.
Thea: All right. Ha ha!

Thea: We did it.

Simone: OK. Let's get
out of here. Tootie?

Amara, Amara,
let me explain.

What do you possibly
have to say?

Taylor essentially
threatened my job.

Marcus, I understand
there are politics--

I have them, too--

but I don't compromise
what I believe

and certainly
don't save myself

at the expense
of what's right.

You are better
than this.

You're right.
Look, I am.

What are you saying?

That I'm a better man
than the one

who seemingly sided
with A.D. Taylor.

You have a plan.

Not yet.

Just trust me, OK?

[Video game sound effects]

So your pops rolls
like that, huh?

Heh. Yep.

Now you see why I didn't
want to tell him.

I should've minded
my business.

Well--

come here.

You were just trying
to have my back.

I dig that about you.

OK. Good, because
me talking first,

consequences
be damned, is--

That's how
you roll. Heh.

I pay attention.

Hmm.

[Knock on door]

Yo, J., um...

can I holler
at you for a sec?

Look, man.

After what
Gabby just saw,

whatever
you got to say,

I'll give
you two a minute.

[Clears throat]

Appreciate it.

Gramps ain't
feeling Gabby.

I mean it.

Like, he's gonna tell you
to break it off with her.

Well, Gramps
won't do that.
He can tell I'm happy.

You must've heard
wrong.

You should listen
to your brother.

What? I said
you all should talk.

I never said I
wasn't gonna listen.

Can we talk
about the fact

that your grandpa
is low-key sexist

with his
"little lady engineer"?

Look. Y'all
are tripping.

Gramps, yeah, he's old
and stuck in his ways,

but he means well.

You know what?

Let's go
clear this up.

We can
talk to him.

Simone,
I've been texting
and calling you.

Where were you?

Uh, escape room, Thea.
Please don't ask.

Can we talk later?
My match starts
in an hour.

My dad wants to start
dating your aunt.

OK. What's another
5 minutes? What?

He said he's
finally ready.

He asked me
for my blessing.

And I assume from
your 17 text messages

and 5 voicemails,
you didn't give it.

I may have lost it
a little bit

on the phone
with him and said

that he couldn't
date Dr. P.

OK. Well, that's
one way to react,

but why?

Also, I also kind of, um,
maybe sort of yelled

at Dr. P. for interfering
with the Dr. Pace stuff

and making it worse.

Keish, are you sure this
is just about my auntie?

Yes.

OK. Maybe no. I ju--

My dad hasn't
seriously dated anyone

since my mom died.

I just got
kind of freaked out,

and I was already
really upset, so--

I just really
miss my mom.

I know,

but your dad
deserves to be happy.

So does my auntie.

Yeah. I owe
a lot of apologies.

Look, I was about
to give Damon advice

on how to handle
his grief

when I'm still over here
processing my own.

Well,
the good thing is

you don't have to
process it alone, OK?

Come here.

It's OK.

J.R.: Yo, Gramps,
real quick,

need you to clear up
a misunderstanding for us.

They're wrong,
right?

You know,

actually, I wanted to
talk to you about her.

I don't think she's
a good fit for you,

no offense.

Um, all the
offense is taken.

But you don't--
you don't know Gabby.

Oh, oh, I know.

She reminds me
of your mother,

and I'm not
gonna stand by

and let history
repeat itself.

Damon: Well, what is
that supposed to mean?

That's what I'm trying
to figure out.

Jessie got too serious
too fast with Celine,

who, as we know,
ended up cheating on him

and then had what
we thought at the time

was another
man's child,

and then she--
she convinced Jessie

to raise that child
for over a year.

Uh, Mr. Raymond,
I'm gonna need you

to stop referring to
me as "that child"

because I'm
standing right here.

Son, I don't know
who raised you,

but in this family,

you don't talk back
to your elders.

You do when
they deserve it.

Dad, I let you bully
me my whole life.

I won't let you
do it to my boys.

Grandpa:
Your boys?

Now, there never would
have been a question

Damon is yours
had Celine

simply remained
faithful, right?

J.R.: Gramps, did you tell my
dad to break it off with my mom?

I was protecting
my son.

OK, and in
protecting your son,

did that also include
telling him to give Damon away?

I didn't have
to say anything.

Jessie knew
I wasn't raising him

to be a weak man,
right, boy?

Yo, J., um, let's get
out of here, man.

J.R.: Yeah.

This ain't how I planned
on spending my day anyway.

wait a minute.

Game's a little
off, Hicks?

Didn't hit your blunt
this morning?

And, Mays, you
shouldn't even be

on the court with
that weak serve.

Don't even listen to them.

They're just trying
to get in your head.

Yeah, right
back at you.

You know, the only
thing these bitches

are going to understand
is us beating them, right?

Heh. How?

We are singles players
forced to play doubles,

just like the planks
at the escape room.

They did, though.

We just had to use
them differently.

We need to play into our
strengths as singles players

and minimize our weaknesses
as a doubles team.

Yeah, but how
do we do that?

We play doubles
as singles players.

Keisha: Hey,

can we talk?

Yeah. Me first.

Look, How you came at me
was foul.

we got to be able to check
each other when necessary.

No. I know,
and that's why

I wanted to say
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

[Kiss]

I'm sorry.

[Kiss kiss]
I'm sorry.

Why you do all this? My plan
was to stay mad at you.

Mm. Yeah. Well,
good luck with that.

What's all this?

It's for the next stop
on my apology tour.

[Both chuckle]

How you feeling?

Like my world
is right side up.

You and Gabby
saw Gramps,

like, really saw him.

Just crazy I got him
wrong for so long.

Look, I know what
it's like to learn

the dude who you
respected the most

isn't who you
thought he was.

You're not
alone, bro.

I don't mean
to interrupt.

We have a tradition
to uphold.

Why are there
only 10?

One for each year
of my remission.

Every year,
we add another one.

These cupcakes are also
a peace offering.

J.R., I realize that
I've treated you

the same way your
grandfather treated me

all these years, trying
to control your life,

not supporting
your dreams.

That stops today.

I'm sorry,
so moving forward,

not only do I
fully support you

trying out for
the Cape Cod League.

I want to help get you
ready, both of you.

Oh, bet.

Jessie: You two are gonna
need to commit

to Cape Cod training on top
of your Bringston practices.

I'm down with that. D.?

Oh, yeah.
Sounds dope to me.

But before
the new diet kicks in,

I'mma need one
of these red velvet cupcakes.

Toast, Pops?

J.R.: You know you can have
too many of those, right?

Who you
talking to?

J.R.: I'm talking to you.
Who you think I'm talking to?

Mmm.

Uh, I'm gonna
catch you later,

all right?

Hold on.
Where you going?

Let him go.

You two showed
me something.

This is the kind
of leadership

that has earned
you both a spot

in the top 6.

Simone: Wait. What?
Thea: Seriously?

Well, Coach Loni and I
were already talking

about making
a change.

Enjoy your
victory, ladies.

What!

I was not
expecting that.

but us thriving under
high-stakes situations,

it's what we do,
but we can't seem
to be cool

on a regular-ass day.

Girl, why is that?

Maybe for now,
we'll just take the win

that we're learning
to be teammates,

and maybe
that's enough.

Simone: Yeah.
Thea: Yeah.

Simone: Congrats.
Thea: You, too.

Marcus, what
are you doing here?

I'm ready to
share the plan.

Look, I knew you
needed more room

in the board room
today, so instead,

I got you more time.

I don't understand.

The owner
of the building,

he's a Bringston
baseball fan,

in particular,
a fan of mine.

I convinced him
to hold off

selling the building
for 90 days.

Are you serious?

It'll give you more time
to come up with a plan

to acquire the building
for all students.

Oh, my God. Cool.

Marcus, thank you.
Thank you.

This is a huge help,
and I know your job

is on the line if anyone
knows you did this,

so it stays
between us.

I would
appreciate that.

Is there
something else?

Well, actually,
there is.

Since we're on
the topic of timing,

last month when
I told you I loved you,

you didn't have
a response...

[Chuckles]

so I think I need
to tell you now

in a different way.

[Knock on door]

Damon: Thea, what are you--
Thea: I suck.

Your father dies,
and I--

I didn't want to say
the wrong thing,

so I ended up
not saying

anything at all,
which is--

Thea, it's--
it's cool.

No, it's not,

and I know
we may not be

what we used to be,
but I'd like to get back

to where we started,
as friends.

Um, yeah.

Um, I'd
like that, too.

OK, but just so you know,

I won't always
get it right.

It's all good.

I mean, I've been known
to get it wrong, too.

Keisha, what are
you doing here?

I brought you
something.

My mom used to say
the best way

to say sorry
is a big pot

of apology spaghetti.

Keisha, you
don't have to--

No. I do.

What went down earlier
wasn't about you.

I'm sorry.

Thank you,

and even
if you disagree

with how
I handled things,

I am always looking
out for you.

But in the future,
what's said to Dr. P.

will stay
with Dr. P.

I appreciate that.

Now, come on. I know
you're not about to
make me eat alone.

Of course not.

Your dinner guest will
be here in 15 minutes.

Dr. P., you're kind

and caring
and protective.

I couldn't imagine
a better person for my dad.

He really does
care about you,

so I hope
you feel the same.

[Chuckles]

Amara: Thank you.
Keisha: You're welcome.

Enjoy.
