It's all coming together.

Ah, well, to Butler and Butler.

Oh, uh, we actually

There is a Butler and Butler

Now, I made them an offer,

but they said

(snickers)

A pun, huh?

You really are

In that case, these guys sound

Am I right?

No.

Oh, Mama.

I have only had

Uh-huh.

And you didn't ask me?

Well, I didn't know

I mean, you're more

Well, th-this is

It's a new relationship,

Well, you're the one who said

Don't you want

Pop, did you know

Of course.

I keep up with my woman.

Ah.

There's my partner.

I was just telling Dave

Yeah, I'm not so sure.

There are protesters in

They're marching

in the neighborhood.

I hope they march those suckers

No offense, Dave.

Uh, none taken,

you should really

Th-They're talking

They say that you're

What?

I can't be a gentrifier.

I'm not even white.

* Welcome to the block,

* Welcome to the hood. *

Dave, isn't Grover's family tree

Oh, amazing.

Hey, wasn't Great-Grandma

My teacher says

What was her job?

Oh, well, it was World War I,

and she ran a house, and...

There were other women there.

And, um...

Okay, you see, when, um,

who were lonely and had money

would come home

Just say nurse, Dave.

She was a nurse.

Um, the only missing piece

Oh. Well, you know,

when I was younger

Hmm.

What if I just put a picture

Here. This guy'll do.

Grover, that's Colonel Sanders.

Cool. Grandpa was in the Army.

(laughs)

Pop, why don't you tell Janelle

They're gonna be fixing

Yes, that's right.

It's called the Fuse Box.

Ooh, I like that name,

do electric cars

(cackles)

Do-do electric cars have fuses?

(laughter)

Do they?

They don't, but, you know,

it's-it's just a fun,

Yes, retro.

Listen,

A funny thing happened. Um...

The people saw us building

and they thought

to gentrify their neighborhood.

MARTY:

if it's that funny, Dad.

You know, I was on Twitter

They are?

Yeah. There's even

#RefuseTheFuse.

(groans)

I'll just come up

and drown them out.

#Calvin'sDope.

#ButlerLove. You know?

Oh, hey, buddy.

Let me see it.

And it turns out

a nurse after all.

I asked Grammy,

and she said

Okay, uh, well,

Well, obviously

Uh, well, you know, Grover,

No, don't argue

Is that a picture

Whoa, that's recent.

Where did you get that?

Facebook.

It's this old website.

He lives in Oxnard.

He loves Huey Lewis

just like you do, Dave.

Yeah. I mean,

Everybody loves

I'll meet you

Dave, did you know

I had no idea.

I mean, he sent me

but that was years ago.

Oh, my God.

I didn't accept it.

I mean,

and is apparently

the Hugh Crew doesn't

that he abandoned me

(sighs)

Now I have "Hip to Be Square"

And for the first time,

Oh, hey.

Oh, hello, fellas.

What is that you say?

"What grade did you get

An "A."

(laughs)

You got an "A"

That's surprising.

(chuckles sarcastically)

Oh, please, man. I got

And your boy might just

Oh, is Janelle the dean, too?

(laughter)

(laughs forcefully) No.

Hey, look,

You're still excelling

Just maybe

(mutters)

Hey, look, Malcolm.

I did the same thing

What? That...

You know what? I have always

I'm not gonna let you two

And wasn't the manager

I mean, by marriage.

A lot of people showed up

You were right,

a third tray of tacos.

No way.

You know who buys

Jeff Bezos.

We don't want them thinking

rich corporations

Ah.

These are fantastic.

Oh, well, all right.

I'm glad you enjoy them.

You ever been to El Rey's?

Best Mexican food

Oh, I'll have to check it out

Luis Cabrera. Uh...

Very nice setup you got here.

Well, I mean, it's not

Calvin Butler.

Man of the people.

Well, I can't wait to hear

Awesome. Okay.

Um, so can, um,

Sit down!

Thank you.

Okay, baby. Go ahead.

Yeah, all right, uh,

I am Calvin Butler,

co-owner of

This is my partner,

And as you can see,

we are no gentrifiers.

Okay? So I hope

that clears everything up.

Please enjoy the tacos.

Uh, Luis, my new friend.

Do you, uh,

Uh, yes. Yes, uh,

Uh, my-my question is

Who the hell

Excuse me?

What? You think that just

some white guy,

with you busting

and pushing out our businesses?

Look, I-I'm not busting

We're building and improving.

Oh, is that what this is?

You know, I-I think

when we could all get together

as a neighborhood

and our-our tailor

But, no, it's all gone now.

But yet here you are

Uh, it-it-it's EV Solutions.

Uh, it's very different.

I miss the coffee shop.

They have the best conchas.

(overlapping agreements)

I don't know nothing

All right?

That coffee shop was not here

It was already closed.

You're right.

They raised the rent

with fat wallets came in,

GROUP:

Guys, guys, look.

We want to be a friend

I brought tacos.

Only two trays.

Yeah, and the worst part,

they're from Pasadena.

(groaning, murmuring)

You can't bring Pasadena tacos

(chanting):

We don't want your EV store!

One, two, three, four!

We don't want your EV store!

(chanting continues)

Y'all got chants?

(chanting):

No tacos.

Hell no. No tacos.

I'm the boss,

(chanting):

I mean, where do

saying my shop's gonna

And they've got some nerve

and those corny-ass chants.

Mine was better than theirs,

Dave?

You hitting that yo-yo

You know most men learn

Uh, no.

I didn't get that.

I had to teach myself.

How to yo-yo?

Yeah, see? You get it.

You were there

during their yo-yo years.

They didn't have to go

Okay.

Hey, I'm starting to think

Oh, yeah, great,

"This isn't about a yo-yo, Dave.

This is about your dad

Okay. What?

Look, come on, man, sit down.

What's-what's going on?

Grover found my dad.

Apparently,

I haven't seen him

Hmm.

So, are you gonna see him?

Why should I?

He up and left when I was

Would you ever do

(scoffs) No, sir.

Well, guess who did.

My father Lamar Johnson.

Grover? Lamar?

You Johnsons are killing me

Look, as far as I'm concerned,

doesn't deserve anything

Yeah, thank you.

But maybe you deserve

Dave, I miss my dad every day,

and I would give anything

just to speak with him

I mean, think about it,

you need some clarity.

Maybe you want

No, no, I don't want

I need him to hear my story.

I'm just so angry, Calvin.

Dave, if that's the way

But just make sure

while you still have it.

Maybe you're right.

(sighs) Thanks, Calvin.

Wow.

Never seen someone yo-yo sad.

(knocking)

Gemma, you got a min...

(shushes)

One of the smoke detectors

has a low battery beep.

I'm trying to figure out

Got it.

I just had a quick question...

(smoke detector beeps)

Ooh, you talked over it.

Now we have about 30 seconds.

Okay, uh, before

you were a teacher, right?

Would your personal feelings

ever affect how you graded them?

All the time.

Really?

I'm not gonna give a good grade

to the kid who said

Oh. (clicks tongue)

Okay, Gemma, but, uh...

Damn, I never noticed your hands

They are...

lovely.

I still don't notice 'em.

(smoke detector beeps)

Was that in the kitchen?

I thought it was upstairs.

Damn it.

So,

this is about

Yes, I am doing really well

but now I'm worried

I'm doing really well

(chuckling)

(laughing):

Because you're so good

(laughing):

It is not that funny.

(sighs)

(chuckles)

You know what I should do?

I should do a terrible job

see if she gives me an

Can you believe

Bad-mouthing Pasadena tacos?

Ain't nothing wrong

Well, you know,

what they're concerned about,

they're not crazy.

Are you taking their side

(muttering)

Uh...

You know what, baby?

You know,

their neighborhood is

And you of all people

I mean, you remember

when Friendly's Market

by Mucho Mochi?

I wasn't upset.

You damn near lost your mind.

And now it's your favorite.

It's not my favorite.

(scoffs) I mean,

I like the green tea,

Dad, to be fair,

most of the people

can't afford electric cars.

They don't see

Okay, but you saw

is going for these days.

That was the only space

Now, if those people

then I don't know

Maybe don't tell them anything.

Just go down there,

and show them

MARTY:

You get them together

and you prove to them

That...

I know what I'm-a do.

I'm just gonna go down there,

and prove to them

(knocking)

Hold on.

Hello.

BOTH:

Hey, can I ask you a question?

Of course.

What the hell is this?

That is my essay.

Oh, well, let me read you

Okay.

"making it a short story

"as opposed to

which is a novel."

That is technically true.

Well, yes, it is.

And so, technically,

(laughs)

That is fantastic.

Why is that fantastic?

Well,

You see,

that I was only getting A's

you and I are a thing.

So, you wrote this

Yes, I did. (laughs)

Pretty brilliant, right?

Let me get this straight.

You thought

that you didn't earn?

But now I know

so... (laughs)

You want some of

It's...

So, in that mind of yours,

you thought

that I would just

Well, now that you have

like that, I-I kind of

Hmm.

And an egomaniac.

And a-- and an idiot?

Keep going.

More? That's...

I didn't give you

and I'm sorry.

And right after dinner,

Well, you can rewrite it.

You got a "D."

Damn, you are beautiful,

you're smart,

I like that.

You're still getting a "D."

Well, Dr. Finch,

All right.

Thank you so much for

Really, Luis?

That's what we doing?

Well, you didn't seem

so I thought you could use

Could-could, uh...

Now, what did I do?

(chanting):

We don't want your EV store!

Five, six, seven, eight!

Fuse Box is the place we hate!

(chanting continues)

You know what?

Can we just take

(chanting stops)

Listen, I owe you

The character of my neighborhood

Now, I realize that

the character of your

And the other night,

all on my own, without

...I realized that

Look, I have a plan, all right?

Is there someone here

I'm Julian.

Julian, look,

you used to have a coffee shop

Well, I've been thinking

I could use a coffee stand

You know, people

while they wait for

and I'm gonna need

This dude is literally giving

Uh, no, I was talking about you.

Oh, cool.

Julian is not the sharpest

Okay. And-and I'm not done here,

I want to hire local.

I understand that

Antonia's Tacos was

before you lost your lease.

Well, I got

in the parking lot

for your taco truck.

(laughing):

Thank you.

Ay! You are an angel,

(laughs)

And to-to all of you.

If you used to work around here,

please let me know

Maybe we can find

So, now he thinks

Oh, God. This guy.

Well, I can be bought.

Me, too.

Listen, Luis.

We're trying to

Well, you know where I'll be,

We'll just be watching.

Okay.

Gonna be watching me, like I...

(muttering)

You keep watching. (scoffs)

Like, like, he the only one

(both muttering)

(smoke detector beeps)

Where did that beep come from?

I don't know.

Is that your dad's

Yeah.

Looks like

from the Huey Lewis concert.

Yeah, it's from the Plan B tour.

That album was--

just okay.

(chuckles) Okay. Look.

Whatever you decide,

You know that.

But he did reach out.

Friend request accepted.
