All language subtitles for The Quad s02e09 Holler If You Hear Me.eng

male announcer:
Previously on "The Quad."

- So what, you cheated
on me with Ebony?

- What?
- I'm pregnant, Cedric.

- The administration

just advanced us
a check for $1 million.

- Who oversees them?
- Flip Lawson.

- What the hell are you doing
back in Diamond's band?

- I'm not.

- So you're gonna
lie to my face?

- I wish I could look
after him 24/7, but....

- Well, you see,
that's not what you said

when you sat in my living room.

- You'll give up.

You're a fighter just like me,

but at a certain point
the bell dings.

-
All my sisters
and brothers

[Anita Baker's "Sweet Love]

- I love you.

-
With all my heart I love
you baby

- [grunts]

-
I feel no shame

- You okay?

- I had that crazy dream again.

- Wow, that hasn't happened
in a while.

- I know.

Well, now, see?

That look right there,

I shouldn't have told you.

- Oh, I see.

My loving you,
my being concerned,

it's just so annoying,
so unnecessary.

- Mm.
- But I am who I am,

so I'm gonna say
what needs to be said.

You are Dean of Student Affairs
and on faculty senate.

You are doing God's work,

and I hope that one day
that'll be enough.

- It is.

Really, it is.

- [chuckles]

- I'm gonna finish these--
- Dishes.

Thank you.

-
Stay right here,
never fear

[knock at door]

- May I come in?

I came to return this.

- Suddenly I'm worthy of access
to your home?

- I understand
that you believed

you were acting
in my best interest,

and although you
breached boundaries,

I also realize that
I may have overreacted.

- Actually, I don't think
you overreacted.

You simply acted...like a
person with a drug problem.

- That's ridiculous, but since
this seems to be

a thing with you,

know that my anxiety
is under control.

It is dangerous
to stop cold turkey,

so I'm titrating my dosage,

quitting safely.

- I'm not gonna apologize
for being concerned,

but I am glad
you're feeling better.

- All I ask is that
you remember

that access to my home
is a privilege.

- Mother, please,
I have to go back to sleep.

- I just want to see a little
bit more effort from him

as far as team play;
you know what I mean?

- What about his numbers?

- You got a minute, Coach?

- Yup, almost daily
at this point, huh?

- Well, Coach Randy just booted
me out of the weight room.

- So that I'm clear,

even though the doctors haven't
cleared you to work out,

that's exactly
what you were doing?

- I'm fine, Coach.

- Well, you can feel fine
and not be completely healed.

That's exactly when
you can do the most damage.

Look at Andrew Luck.

- My injuries are nowhere near
as bad as his, all right?

I'm ready to play.

- Luck lost a whole season
when all he had to do

is maybe wait a month.
- I don't have a month!

Spring game's in a couple days.

Coach, how's everybody
gonna know that I'm ready

to lead next season
if they don't see me play?

- Only person needs to know
you're the quarterback is me.

Starting to feel like a goddamn
broken record on that.

- Thanks for your time, Coach.

- BoJohn,

I wouldn't do it
if it wasn't for the best.

- They said that they wanted
to be helpful.

- We need to figure out
how to upend this merger.

Can they be helpful with that?

- The merger is done,
all right?

Now we need to try to figure
out whatever we can about

Atlanta State's plans.

- Here. Thank you.

- Maybe their students
have more info than we do?

- I need to get to my lab,
so if this meeting is helpful,

I'll treat you to a movie,
but if it isn't--

- If it isn't, I'll treat you.

- What's up, man? What's this?

- Look, we got a meeting the
other day, right?

Pass on these flyers
trying to shut things down.

- Cool.

- You really gonna pretend like
I'm not standing here?

- You're the one who told me
to leave you alone, remember?

- What time's your meeting
with Atlanta State?

- Why?

What, are you--
you conscious now?

- I want to come and take notes
for a doc I'm working on.

because I am,
in fact, conscious,

but if you'd rather I don't--

- Okay, look,
I--I saw the last video

that you put up
on the school's website.

You got a whole bunch of hits,

and we need all the exposure
that we can get,

so you should be here...

For the cause.

- For the cause.

[upbeat music]

- [laughs]

Oh, is it 6:00 already?

- Hey, baby.
- What's up, Unc?

- Nephew, you joining us
for dinner?

- No, I just stopped by to talk
to Auntie about a few things.

- Seems practice is getting
more hours than tutoring.

- Unc, please talk to my dad.

Look, if anyone can
convince him that he's wrong

about me going to
GAMU, it's you.

- Already tried.
His position is clear.

He told me and Ula both to mind
our own damn business,

so I have no idea
why your Auntie's

putting you up to ask me.

- Right, but I assumed
after going public

about wanting to go to
GAMU that Coach Hardwick

would have reached out,
you know, to my pops--

- For what? No sooner
than you said that,

your father was all over
the news saying,

"No way in hell."

- But honey, if the coach
had just called--

- Honestly, son,

any further meddling
would be inappropriate.

Your father wants what
he thinks is best for you.

- Really, Carlton?

- You know what?
I'm gonna bounce.

But maybe you can talk
to my dad at the game tomorrow.

- We'll try.
- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Yeah. I love you all.
- Love you more.

- Love you too.

We discussed this.

You were supposed
to leave it alone.

- My brother needs
to listen to reason.

- It's none of
our business, Ula.

- Every black child in America
is our business.

- I encourage you
to free your mind

and wrap it around
the notion of doing well.

This exam that you're about
to take doesn't own you.

You own it.

We are highly
driven, very intelligent.

As a people we are survivors,

and we will always
have to prove ourselves,

so this is your chance.

Prove it.

Prove you are
who I know you are.

Good luck, Junior.

- So what'd he say?

[indistinct chatter]

- Why the hell did you
invite him?

- Wow, maybe I should use
my superpowers

to stop global warming too.

- Hi, everybody. Hi.

Let me just start by thanking
Miles for setting this all up,

and I'd also like to apologize
for the disgusting treatment

you received on our campus.

Those students
that you clashed with,

they do not speak for the
majority of our student body.

- Thank you, Keegan,
and--and we

all appreciate that,

and we look forward
to an alliance.

- An alliance based on respect

for where
we're all coming from.

- Well, that's why we're here,

to have an open discussion

about how we can
support each other.

I mean, when we got word about
the administration's plans

for E.W. Smith Hall,

we knew we needed to talk.

[all murmuring]

- Hey, what is she talking
about? What about Smith Hall?

- We're not surprised that
they haven't been forthcoming,

especially considering
Brian Bean is rumored

to be behind the redevelopment.

- Wait, the billionaire techie?

- What's he got
to do with this?

- It's all about sales
and branding.

He's been
targeting universities

all across the country,

McManus,

DSU, Laura Farnsworth,

funding computer labs

and slapping his name
on buildings.

- Wow.

- Yo, this shit is crazy.

Well, the merger
just barely happened,

and they're already
trying to take shit over?

- Bye.

- So I'm gonna need some help
here.

- Hey. What's up with you, man?

- What do you mean,
what's up with me?

- You're taking advantage
of her.

You know what she went through,
and you're still doing

what you're doing?

- I'm not doing anything that
she doesn't want done.

- Renaming a building named
for the school's founder

is completely unacceptable,

no matter how convenient that
building is to street access

or a planned parking lot.

Yes, I know it is
out of your hands.

This is why
I did not phone you.

I phoned your boss.

Please ask Quentin to return
my call and remind him

of how quickly he used to do so

when he was attempting
to take over my university.

Didn't we just talk about
not abusing privileges?

- We just met with a group
from ASU about Smith Hall.

Students need to know
you're just as angry as we are.

- Until I have
more information,

I have nothing to share.

Please tell me you're standing
there because you found a way

to track down Flip Lawson.

- No, ma'am.

There are several other things
I need to discuss with you.

- I assure you
that none of them

is as important
as finding Mr. Lawson.

- Whatever.

Goodbye, Mother.

- Hey, I was just coming
to check on you guys.

- Junior's still taking
that make-up exam.

I'm on my way out.

- Where are you going?
- Off campus to work out.

- I thought you weren't
supposed to be--

- Really?

Tie, why are you grilling me?

It's not like
you're my girlfriend,

since the races
shouldn't be mixing.

- Oh, my God, that is not
what I said.

- It's exactly what you said.

[funky music]

- Tea?
- Please.

He figured out a way
to circumvent the damn law.

- I know.

I was under the assumption
that the building was protected

until the historical landmark
petition was reviewed.

- Somehow massah got
the process expedited.

- Unbelievable.

Every time I think
there's a way,

maybe a stone
that hasn't been turned...

We could have saved it.

- Go ahead, say it.

You could saved us if Carlton
and I hadn't blocked the sale

by filing that petition
in the first place.

- From the first meeting
I took with G.U.S.

I made it very clear
that Georgia A&M

was not interested
in a merger.

Selling the land

to that investment group
was the answer.

They were willing to give us
the buyback clause

we wanted with Smith Hall
and everything.

I was fighting
for our independence.

If you had any idea
the humiliating shit

that I put myself through...

You know what?
It doesn't matter.

- It does matter.
Things are changing.

Men are losing their jobs
behind this crap,

as they should.

Did James Green--

- No, of course not.

I was just saying
that we had hope.

Even when the deal
fell through,

we still had a shot

at not being forced
to join G.U.S.

Until Flip Lawson stole
millions of dollars

that were intended
for the school.

- Can you prove it?
- No.

On paper it looks legit.

It's a charity, and by all
accounts the bulk of the money

goes to "administrative costs,"

but we all know what these are.

- I'm so sorry.

I really didn't see until now

that you really do care
about this school.

- Of course I care.

And I always worked my ass off.

[percussive marching band
music]

[all shouting]

- Get those knees up.

- All right, that's it.

After this, not anymore.

Carlton, Ula?

- Mm. Yeah, we hear you.
- Dwight?

- I hear you, Pop. I hear you.
Thanks for showing up.

- Are these the type
of puny crowds

you want to play in front of?

- It's the spring game, Lenny,

GAMU players
playing each other.

You can't expect a full house.

- Carlton, Ula, it's so great
to see you again.

- You too, Eva.

- I see you made
an extra effort

to display
your inner school spirit today.

- So nice of you
to notice, Carlton.

- Aren't your seats down there?

- Yes. I moved them.

- Well, this--this is
my brother-in-law,

Lenny Jenkins,
and his son, Dwight.

- So nice to finally meet
the both of you.

- How you doing?

- I know you have been
doing your very best

to get your nephew to give
GAMU some real consideration.

- For real, bruh?
You're setting me up?

- I am just as unprepared

for the president's
display as you are.

- All right, well,
since you the big boss,

what you got to offer that's
really worth listening to?

I mean, really?

- For starters,
how about dinner

at the president's residence?

We can roll our sleeves up
and talk about real options

before Dwight's
signing deadline.

- I would love to have dinner
at the big house.

- Then we shall.

- We already have dinner plans,
Dr. Fletcher.

- As do I.

Fortunately, there are six more
days in the week, aren't there?

- Well, damn, your balls
about as big as mine.

- Could you do me a favor and
stop this performance, please,

so I can enjoy time
with my family?

Let's sit down.

You see why
I can't wait for her to go?

- Let's just enjoy the game.

- Look at this.

People actually
showed up this year.

- Hey, winning championships
helps.

- I'm gonna I miss
this shit, man.

- And you'll miss it again
if you don't keep studying.

- Come on, bruh.

- Hut!

- Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to your championship

GAMU Mountain Cats
spring football game.

The players have
finished warming up

and are ready
to take the field.

- Yeah!

- Let's go, BoJohn.

- I got this.
- Ain't this about a bitch?

- Like hell. You ain't even
supposed to be suited up.

- Hey, I'm the starting
quarterback, all right?

- Time out!
- Move your ass.

Move your ass, man.

- Get off my goddamn field.
- Why?

So you can make room
for Jenkins?

No, I don't think so.
- I'm not gonna ask you again.

- What is going on out there?

- Coach, this is my team.
This is my family.

- Taylor, Randy!

Get him off this field
before I hurt him.

- This isn't fair!

There's nothing wrong with me!

- What is he doing?
- I don't know,

but I'm about to find out.

- I'm the quarterback, right?

- Coach Hardwick
is a great coach.

Whatever is going on, he will
know exactly how to handle it.

- Whatever's going on
down there,

I know you'd handle it
differently, wouldn't you?

- No question.

- And that's why we need you
out there

to raise the bar
for our young black men.

- Look, big sis,
I love you and everything,

but I'm gonna need you
to stop filling

Dwight's head with that
black cultural stuff.

The world ain't just black.

- What, you want to
turn him into O.J?

"I'm not black, I'm Dwight?"

Look, wherever he goes,
that's up to you,

but wherever that is,
he's always gonna be black.

Dangerous to forget that.

- I know a couple of top
high school recruits

who will join if I sign up.

- Come on, brother-in-law.

There's a football powerhouse
waiting to happen.

Dwight can lead that.

Why won't you let the boy
choose his own dream?

- Because I've already chosen
for him. Let's go, boy.

- Come on, Pop.
- Let's go, boy.

- Dwight.
- Lenny.

- Join your GAMU Mountain Cats
for food and drinks.

[indistinct chatter]

- I can't believe he freaked
out like that.

- I ain't gonna lie; this whole
thing's freaking me out.

- Hey, Tie, I really want
to be here

for you and BoJohn, but--

- You got to go?
- Midterms.

- Girl, go.
- Okay.

- I'll text you and let you
know when he shows up.

-
I been clowning lately
mixing drinks every night

- I'll be back.
Got to grab my charger.

My phone is dying.

-
Cheese,
stop for the pictures

- [laughs]

- Pass the ball.

- Yo, Madison.

I called you, like, 100 times.
What's up? Your phone's broke?

- You've called me, like,
100 times after midnight.

- After midnight's
when I'm free.

- Okay, we've hung out,
what, like, three times?

And not once have you
called to say,

"Hey, let's go have lunch,"
or, "Let's see a movie."

- Seriously?

- I don't see
a damn thing funny.

-
Everything player player
player player player

- Look, I'd like to finish
this conversation,

but I need to take this,
all right?

- Delete my number.

- Brianna, where you been?

- Where the hell have you been?

- Felt like some Now 'N Laters.

- So you went back
to the corner store

where they kicked your ass?

- Yup.

- Dawg, why would you go
back up there?

- I was looking
for Tiesha's friends.

- So you wanted to get
your ass kicked again?

- Well, she's right, and you
got to go apologize to Coach

and the whole team, like, now.

- I am so tired of y'all
telling me what to do.

Sit, Bo. Roll over, Bo.

Do whatever the hell
I tell you to, Bo.

Where's it gotten me, huh?
Where'd it get me?

- What are you
yelling at her for?

- Walk me to my dorm, Junior.

- "Walk me to my dorm, Junior."

- You tripping for real.

[Logic's 1-800-273-8255]

- God damn it!

-
I've been on the low,
I been taking my time

[line trilling]

- Hey, Dad.

-
And let me tell you why

Can you come get me?

-
And my life don't even
matter, I know it, I know it

[knock at door]

- You ready to talk about
what happened?

- I want you to leave me alone.

- Yeah, well,

maybe
I'll sit a while anyway.

[light electronic music]

[drums enter]

[line trilling]

- Hey, baby.
- Hey, what's up, Ma?

- What's wrong?

- Why's something got
to be wrong?

- Because I know you.
What's--what's wrong?

- We just ain't talked
in a minute.

Yo, I was just calling before
I stepped out, all right?

- You and Bryce going out?
- It's just me, Ma.

- Okay. How's Bronwyn?

- Uh, Bronwyn?
Yeah, she's, uh--she's great.

- Good. Good.

- Actually, you know what?

She's not great, Ma.
She's pregnant.

- She's what? Cedric, no.
- Ma--

- I can't.

- Ma, you there?

- You were so cool when that
comedian was roasting you.

- Come on,
what else could I be?

I literally let you talk me

into sitting in the front row
of a comedy club.

- Oh, when he said you look
like a dude that kisses

his reflection
in the mirror every morning?

- You know what?

I feel like that guy,
every time he told a joke

that nobody laughed at,
he was like,

"Where's that guy
in the front row?"

And I do not look like
a Cabbage Patch doll.

- I love Cabbage Patch dolls.

I am not ready
for this night to end.

- Me neither.

- I know the best wine cellar
in all of Atlanta, bar none.

What say you to
a luscious cab, vintage 2000?

- I say lead the way.

- Much better turnout
than last year.

- Who doesn't love a circus?
- Mm.

- Ella Grace,
when did you get here?

- About 20 minutes ago.

You have me for another 40.

You know I have a one-hour
limit to be hanging out

with all these
self-important people.

- The spectacle at the football
game seemed pretty significant.

What was that about?

- Well, that's a question
for Coach Hardwick, isn't it?

But I will say that it was
refreshing to finally be

on the same side of an
argument, wasn't it, Carlton?

- I have no doubts about
my nephew's future fortunes.

What about BoJohn Folsom?

- Sometimes we need to remember
that these big, strong,

manly looking athletes
are really just boys.

- Oh, look who's arrived.

I'll be sure to tell him you
have some questions for him.

- I want her gone so badly
I can taste it.

- I know you all don't want
to hear this, but--

- I knew you wouldn't
be able to do it.

- Oh, shut up, Cecil.

- I'm just saying.

- She has worked hard
to save this place,

probably harder than any of us.
- And she failed.

She was a bad decision
from the moment we made it,

and we vowed to get rid of her,
so just stick with the plan.

- After today,
this should help.

- How could you sit next
to Dwight Jenkins

in front of BoJohn Folsom
and the whole world?

- How is he?
- Off the team.

He doesn't know it yet,
but I--I have to let him go.

No, but I want him to go
to student counseling

first though.

- I think it is a mistake
to let him go.

- I hear you've been looking
for me.

- Can we finish
this conversation later?

- Handle your business.

- You look lovely this evening,
Dr. Fletcher.

- Really?

You look like someone
who's been tipped off about me

knowing you are a thief

who stole money
from this university. Hey.

- How you doing?
- There go Eva and Flip Lawson,

- What do you think they're
talking about?

- Probably discussing how
much further they can sell GAMU

down the river.

- Mm-hmm.
- She didn't sell out GAMU.

He did.

- What?
- All I've done

is what you couldn't,

keep the GAMU doors open.

- That is called
embezzlement and fraud.

- I call it a commission.

I don't work for GAMU.
Read the amendment again.

- My attorneys agree with me.
- Hurry with your suit.

Oh, you can't.

- Oh, good evening, Doctor.
Thanks for having us.

- The merger won't be final
for another year,

which means GAMU

can't afford more lawyers.

- You're right.

Georgia A&M is tight on money,

but I've got plenty.

I look forward
to a rousing game of,

"My attorney is bigger
than yours."

Thank you so much.

-
Each day I watch you get
better at this

- No voil? tonight?

-
We ran our own pace

- Mmm.

Yes.

Sorry, honey,
I should have gone with you,

but I just had
so many papers to grade.

- How in the hell
did all this happen?

- I'm sorry, Carlton.

- It makes my stomach turn
just thinking about it,

being taken over by a PWI,

and a black trustee stealing
from the school he attended.

- When it's finalized,
the students are gonna need you

more than ever,

and if by some act of God our
nephew ends up attending GAMU,

who better than you
to look after him?

- If this is your way
of reminding me

that being dean of students
is where I'm supposed to be,

you can stop.

I know it. Really, I do.

It's just hearing
all this Flip Lawson mess

makes me realize somebody's got
to watch out for the students.

What?

- I love you, that's what.

- [chuckles]

Okay, you can--you can go
ahead and get a head start.

- Mm-hmm.

- I'll put the rest
of this stuff away.

- Well, I will take this up
to our boudoir,

but you better hurry up,

'cause I don't want all this to
melt.

- Mm, mm.

Make sure you
put on some Luther.

- Oh, Luther.

- [chuckles]

Mm-hmm, I'm ready.

Uh-huh, all right.

All right.
[glass shattering]

Ula?

- [groans]

- Baby? Baby!

[funky music]

-
You'll be my hero

- [laughs]

-
I'll be your heroine

- [exhales]

-
You make me feel safe

- Let's go to my room.

- I thought you said
your mother was at some event,

and she's not gonna be back
for a while.

- That doesn't mean I want
to get busy on her couch.

- Well, do you mind
if I have another glass

of that cab first?

- Of course not.

-
I'm your heroine

- Here you go.

- No.

I've wanted to do this
ever since I first met you

right here in this house.

-
With you I'm lying in the
streets of gold

[light electronic music]

-
Tell me why I'm black

[knock at door]

Yo.

- I assume that means come in?

- What's up, Noni?

- I need your help.

- With what?

- What to tell my roommate
who won't stop crying

because she's not sure
what she's supposed to do.

- Didn't we already have
this conversation?

'Cause this shit sure
feels like d?j? vu to me.

- Actually, very different
this time.

See, last time we spoke,
Bronwyn wasn't pregnant.

- What the hell does that
have to do with you?

- Unlike some people,
when I care about you,

I'm ride or die,
down for whatever all the time.

- Yo, you been listening
to too many of them classic

hip-hop songs you love so much.

- Nice, distract and deflect.

- Oh, yeah?

This look like
deflecting to you?

That's the text that your
roommate sent me two hours

after I asked her for the tenth
time if we could just talk.

She's not having it, Noni.

She doesn't want me
to contact her again, ever.

Now, do you think you can mind
your own business?

- Ced, I'm coming to you as
an actual friend right now.

- Well, lucky for both of us,
I don't need no more friends.

But I'm gonna need you
to get out my room.

- And Bronwyn needs you
to man up.

- Get the hell out of my room,
Noni.

Get out!

[light electronic music]

[drums enter]

- How'd you beat me here?
- Running after athletes

whose parents
just set them free

will teach you every shortcut
there is around this school.

- Well, I appreciate you
providing me with an excuse

to get out of there.

Just too much on my mind,

including BoJohn's meltdown.

- Yeah, he's still in his room.

I have a couple of coaches
staying with him tonight,

and I'll go back
in the morning.

- What happened down there
on the field?

- For the second time,

you saw a boy
collapsing under pressure.

If his father wasn't
such an abusive asshole,

I would have called
his parents immediately,

but I can't do that
without having a plan

to get this boy some help.

- It's really that bad?
- Yes,

but the fact that you don't get
it means you should stay

as far away from recruiting
athletes as possible.

- Look, I think
we should go inside,

open a bottle of wine,
and talk.

Not hurl accusations
at each other, just talk.

Can we do that?

- Yeah, okay.

- [moaning]

- Sounds like Sydney's
watching HBO.

- We can do this another time.
It's late.

- No, we're good.

- [moaning]

What the hell?

- Oh, shit.
- Oh, shit.

- Get off of her. Get off
of her, you son of a bitch!

Are you okay?
- Mom, I'm really sorry.

I didn't think
you'd be back until--

- How dare you?
- How dare I what?

- Hey, show some respect.

- None of this
involves you, Coach.

- I'm involved as hell right
now, and I think you should go.

- Is that what you want, Eva?
Huh?

You want me to leave?

- I swear I will kill you.

- I don't know what kind
of point you're trying to make,

but you better get
the hell out of here.

- [chuckles]
Yeah, you know what?

I think you right, Coach.

[sniffs]
Mm-hmm.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Bye, Eva.

- Mom, stop!
What's wrong with you?

Mom, stop.

- Look, I'll see that he
leaves.

- I'm leaving too.
- No, wait.

We need to--we need to talk
about--about this.

- With the way you are
right now? I don't think so.

Clearly you're still popping
your prescription candy.

- Sydney, I said that
we need to talk.

- Move!

- What the hell
is wrong with you?

- You are insane!

- Eva.

- Please just leave.

- Look, call me if you need me
to come back.

- If you think that
I am letting you out of here

so you can run
after that bastard,

you are sorely mistaken.
