00:06:15,917 --> 00:06:17,836
She plays by her own rules.
183
00:06:17,836 --> 00:06:20,463
Made it frustrating
to play Uno growing up,
184
00:06:20,463 --> 00:06:23,133
but anyway,
I'm really happy she's here.
185
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:26,428
Hey, Gregory.
186
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:29,931
Hey.
187
00:06:29,931 --> 00:06:31,725
Yeah, so there was
a real tension
188
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:33,184
between you and Shanae
this morning,
189
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:34,895
and... correct me if I'm wrong...
190
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:37,397
It didn't feel
like the good kind.
191
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:40,317
- Yeah, I mean, it's whatever.
- Mm-hmm.
192
00:06:40,317 --> 00:06:41,443
When you say "It's whatever,"
193
00:06:41,443 --> 00:06:42,986
do you mean,
"Don't worry, Jacob,
194
00:06:42,986 --> 00:06:44,487
"I have a foolproof plan
to win her over,
195
00:06:44,487 --> 00:06:46,907
thus removing this new stress
from your life"?
196
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:48,658
No, I do not.
197
00:06:48,658 --> 00:06:50,327
I'm just going to go back
to avoiding her
198
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:52,787
and never asking her
for anything.
199
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:55,624
Hearing you,
not loving what I'm hearing.
200
00:06:55,624 --> 00:06:57,334
Look man, it's not
that big of a deal.
201
00:06:57,334 --> 00:06:59,210
I don't need to talk to every
single person at this school.
202
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:01,755
That's pretty strong words
for a wannabe principal.
203
00:07:01,755 --> 00:07:04,591
What does small talk
have to do with leadership?
204
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:06,676
Look, you don't have to be
best friends with everybody,
205
00:07:06,676 --> 00:07:08,053
but it doesn't hurt to be able
to shoot the breeze.
206
00:07:08,053 --> 00:07:09,804
Don't you watch late night TV?
207
00:07:09,804 --> 00:07:10,597
I'm not a celebrity.
208
00:07:10,597 --> 00:07:11,973
Yet.
209
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:13,266
Hey, it's easy, look.
210
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:15,935
Hey, teal sweater, yeah.
211
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:17,312
And see, I'm lying.
212
00:07:17,312 --> 00:07:18,438
That sweater is hideous.
213
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,360
[laughs nervously]
214
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,862
And oh, that light
right there, I fixed that,
215
00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:27,447
depending on who you ask.
216
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:28,740
I know you didn't climb
up on a ladder.
217
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:29,991
I did.
218
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:31,159
I climbed up on two, in fact.
219
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:32,160
Oh.
220
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,328
[laughter]
221
00:07:33,328 --> 00:07:35,997
Oh, hey, Barbara, Ava,
222
00:07:35,997 --> 00:07:37,457
I'd like you to meet
my mom, Vanetta.
223
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,793
Oh, wonderful to meet you.
224
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:41,169
I've heard so much about you.
225
00:07:41,169 --> 00:07:42,962
- You must be...
- Oh, that's...
226
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:45,048
I'm Barbara Howard.
227
00:07:45,048 --> 00:07:46,966
- I teach kindergarten.
- Yes.
228
00:07:46,966 --> 00:07:48,635
Damn, genetics are wild.
229
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:49,969
You're cool and she...
230
00:07:52,222 --> 00:07:53,598
You would beat my ass,
wouldn't you?
231
00:07:53,598 --> 00:07:56,059
Hmm.
232
00:07:56,059 --> 00:07:57,435
The key to never
getting your ass beat?
233
00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:59,813
Knowing when someone
can beat your ass.
234
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:01,731
What brings you to Abbott?
235
00:08:01,731 --> 00:08:04,734
Well, I just thought I'd stop
in and check on my baby girl.
236
00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:06,611
I was in the neighborhood.
237
00:08:06,611 --> 00:08:07,737
You live in the neighborhood.
238
00:08:07,737 --> 00:08:09,614
Oh, girl, stop being silly.
239
00:08:09,614 --> 00:08:11,491
Come and give your mama
some love.
240
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:12,909
She's so sensitive.
241
00:08:12,909 --> 00:08:15,662
Well, enjoy your visit.
242
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:16,705
Thank you.
243
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:18,039
You're welcome.
244
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:19,999
See you, Barbara.
245
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:21,292
Ain't nobody around here
246
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:22,419
giving you no problems,
are they?
247
00:08:22,419 --> 00:08:24,421
No, no, no, no, no,
everyone is great.
248
00:08:24,421 --> 00:08:26,131
There was this one parent
last week,
249
00:08:26,131 --> 00:08:27,924
but, you know,
I got through that.
250
00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:30,468
Period.
251
00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:33,596
I am actually taking
a trip to Ocean City to unwind.
252
00:08:33,596 --> 00:08:34,723
- Oh, Princess Royale.
253
00:08:34,723 --> 00:08:35,765
- Yes.
- Yes.
254
00:08:35,765 --> 00:08:37,100
Oh, man, you remember.
255
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:38,184
I've wanted to go there
ever since I was little.
256
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:39,811
So I'm excited.
257
00:08:39,811 --> 00:08:41,438
You know, me and my girls
used to go there all the time.
258
00:08:41,438 --> 00:08:42,564
It was cute.
259
00:08:42,564 --> 00:08:44,065
Room was
a little stuffy, though.
260
00:08:44,065 --> 00:08:46,151
Yeah, well, I think
it looks nice.
261
00:08:46,151 --> 00:08:48,945
Well, how are you?
262
00:08:48,945 --> 00:08:51,197
Oh, I am doing good, baby girl.
263
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:53,867
I got this new job.
264
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:55,702
Mom, you got a new job?
265
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:56,828
Yes.
266
00:08:56,828 --> 00:08:58,496
And it's work from home,
267
00:08:58,496 --> 00:08:59,706
which is perfect for me,
because what I look like,
268
00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:01,666
going into an office?
269
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:03,209
Oh, man, that is great.
270
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:04,502
Yes, it is.
271
00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:07,213
You know, but I do got
this thing going on
272
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:08,965
with my phone.
273
00:09:08,965 --> 00:09:10,884
But anyway, the hours
are great on the job.
274
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:13,219
So everything is going great.
275
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:16,431
Well, what's going on
with your phone?
276
00:09:16,431 --> 00:09:18,558
I shouldn't have
even mentioned it.
277
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:21,102
Oh, just something
about me going over my data
278
00:09:21,102 --> 00:09:22,937
and them threatening
to turn the phone off.
279
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:25,690
But it's only $639.17.
280
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:28,359
But I'll figure it out.
281
00:09:28,359 --> 00:09:29,944
Mom, they can't turn
your phone off.
282
00:09:29,944 --> 00:09:30,779
You need your phone.
283
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:32,072
No, I know.
284
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:33,740
But it is what it is, right?
285
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:37,786
Mom, did you just come here
because you need money?
286
00:09:37,786 --> 00:09:40,955
Janine, no.
287
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:43,625
Why would you even think that?
288
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:45,877
I came 'cause I wanted
to see you do your thing.
289
00:09:45,877 --> 00:09:47,504
I'm proud of you, baby.
290
00:09:47,504 --> 00:09:49,380
Mm-hmm.
291
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:52,842
Well, I love you, Mom.
292
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:54,010
I'm so glad you're here.
293
00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:54,886
Me too. You know what?
294
00:09:54,886 --> 00:09:56,221
Let's take a picture.
295
00:09:56,221 --> 00:09:57,639
- Okay.
- Capture this moment.
296
00:09:57,639 --> 00:09:58,848
Come here.
297
00:09:58,848 --> 00:10:00,600
Look at you, looking
just like me.
298
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,227
Cheese.
299
00:10:02,227 --> 00:10:04,312
Okay, let me send this to...
300
00:10:04,312 --> 00:10:07,023
Whoa, oh, hell, look
like they shut my phone off.
301
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:08,608
But don't you worry about it.
302
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:19,410
Hey, Barbara, hey, work mom.
303
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:21,204
I was wondering
if you could watch
304
00:10:21,204 --> 00:10:24,624
my class for a little bit
while I go check on my mom mom.
305
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:26,292
Not a problem.
306
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:27,919
You know, it's lovely
being able to put
307
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:29,295
a face to the name,
308
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:31,714
though this isn't
your typical school visit
309
00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:33,007
from a parent.
310
00:10:33,007 --> 00:10:35,218
Yeah, well, that's my mom.
311
00:10:35,218 --> 00:10:37,554
She loves surprises
and hide and seek.
312
00:10:37,554 --> 00:10:39,389
She's really good at that.
313
00:10:39,389 --> 00:10:41,099
This is her first visit
to Abbott, isn't it?
314
00:10:41,099 --> 00:10:42,642
Yeah, yeah.
315
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:46,354
She's so busy with the, um,
stuff that she does, so...
316
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:48,857
Well, I know that it hasn't
always been easy with her.
317
00:10:48,857 --> 00:10:50,984
But it's nice she made it.
318
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:53,069
Right, yeah.
And she's doing so well.
319
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:55,780
She has this new job that
she loves, which is amazing.
320
00:10:55,780 --> 00:10:57,240
It's no complaints, really.
321
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,702
Well, there was some drama
with her cell phone bill.
322
00:11:00,702 --> 00:11:03,371
Actually, her phone
just got turned off.
323
00:11:03,371 --> 00:11:04,956
Like, just now.
324
00:11:04,956 --> 00:11:06,249
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
325
00:11:06,249 --> 00:11:07,500
- Just now?
- Yeah.
326
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,252
On the day she chose to visit?
327
00:11:09,252 --> 00:11:10,712
I can't believe it, either.
328
00:11:10,712 --> 00:11:11,754
But she isn't worried.
329
00:11:11,754 --> 00:11:13,173
I am, though.
330
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:15,049
You know, it's her phone.
331
00:11:15,049 --> 00:11:17,260
And I do have that trip money.
332
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:20,138
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
333
00:11:20,138 --> 00:11:22,098
I'm honestly just, like,
really glad she's here.
334
00:11:22,098 --> 00:11:23,308
So, yeah.
335
00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:25,810
Well, thank you.
336
00:11:25,810 --> 00:11:27,228
Nice work, kids.
337
00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:27,979
Keep track
of that glitter, though.
338
00:11:27,979 --> 00:11:29,522
It is not biodegradable.
339
00:11:29,522 --> 00:11:32,400
Neither is any
of that Styrofoam.
340
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,862
Nurse Makiah, we on fi-yah.
341
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:38,031
[both laugh]
342
00:11:39,282 --> 00:11:41,576
Shanae, get me one
of those cookies.
343
00:11:41,576 --> 00:11:43,036
That's your new recipe, right?
344
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:44,829
Yeah, went to Aldi
instead of Acme.
345
00:11:44,829 --> 00:11:46,289
Okay.
346
00:11:46,289 --> 00:11:47,373
If I didn't love Shanae so much,
347
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,417
I would be jealous
of her cookie success.
348
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:51,169
Ava really knows
how to work a room.
349
00:11:54,881 --> 00:11:56,549
I can also work a room.
350
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:59,802
Watch me.
351
00:11:59,802 --> 00:12:03,264
Nurse Makiah.
352
00:12:03,264 --> 00:12:04,474
Hello.
353
00:12:04,474 --> 00:12:06,392
Did you need something?
354
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:09,354
No, no, I'm just
shooting the breeze.
355
00:12:09,354 --> 00:12:11,231
You know, speaking of breeze,
356
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:12,148
how do you feel about pollution?
357
00:12:12,148 --> 00:12:13,149
Bad?
358
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:14,817
Mm-hmm, yes, same here.
359
00:12:14,817 --> 00:12:17,695
So we have that in common.
360
00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:19,072
Yeah, cool.
361
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:20,573
Do you have any other opinions?
362
00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:26,746
I just figured out where
I know Janine's mom from:
363
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,081
The club.
364
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:29,540
We danced on the same tables.
365
00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:31,417
Cool people
should have cool babies.
366
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:33,127
It's not right what happened
to that woman.
367
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:40,051
I don't like this one bit,
dropping in out of the blue,
368
00:12:40,051 --> 00:12:43,846
dancing on the same furniture
as Ava.
369
00:12:43,846 --> 00:12:46,599
Oh, I got a bad feeling.
370
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:48,601
And then a mother wants to drop
that little tidbit
371
00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:51,187
about being late
on her phone bill.
372
00:12:51,187 --> 00:12:53,398
It's a convenient time to visit.
373
00:12:53,398 --> 00:12:55,108
Yeah, well, I smelled swindler
374
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:56,818
the minute she walked in.
375
00:12:56,818 --> 00:13:00,697
That and, like,
a spicy, citrusy aroma.
376
00:13:00,697 --> 00:13:02,991
She smelled
really good, actually.
377
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:07,287
Barbara, listen,
nothing good ever came
378
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:09,580
from getting messed up
in another family's business.
379
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:10,915
All right?
380
00:13:10,915 --> 00:13:12,166
Unless you're on Yelp
381
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:14,502
and they're your competition.
382
00:13:14,502 --> 00:13:16,254
I know you're right.
383
00:13:16,254 --> 00:13:18,840
But Janine has this trip
coming up,
384
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,758
and it's a big deal for her.
385
00:13:20,758 --> 00:13:23,886
And I just think her mother
is here to get that money.
386
00:13:23,886 --> 00:13:25,722
- Oh.
- Damn, that's cold.
387
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:27,390
Thank you, Ava.
388
00:13:27,390 --> 00:13:29,183
Note to self,
new way to manipulate:
389
00:13:29,183 --> 00:13:31,019
Step one, have a daughter.
390
00:13:31,019 --> 00:13:32,478
Step two, play the long game.
391
00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,988
[pills rattling]
392
00:13:41,988 --> 00:13:43,239
[knock at door]
393
00:13:45,241 --> 00:13:47,285
Feeling under the weather?
394
00:13:47,285 --> 00:13:49,120
It's cold and flu season somewhere.
395
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,414
Well, I'm sure that's true.
396
00:13:51,414 --> 00:13:54,167
Lovely of you to come by
and see Janine at work.
397
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:55,835
It meant so much to her.
398
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,795
She talks about you
all the time.
399
00:13:57,795 --> 00:14:01,090
Can you believe she's
never invited me here before?
400
00:14:01,090 --> 00:14:02,258
I really can't.
401
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:05,928
You've raised
a wonderful daughter.
402
00:14:05,928 --> 00:14:07,972
I hope you're extremely proud.
403
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:09,557
I am.
404
00:14:09,557 --> 00:14:11,559
You know, she's a Penn grad.
405
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,728
Her sister, on the other hand...
406
00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:17,106
well, you win some,
you lose some.
407
00:14:17,106 --> 00:14:19,067
I have had the great pleasure
of watching
408
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:20,902
Janine grow so much.
409
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:24,197
I mean, this year alone,
working for her students
410
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:27,492
and on herself, building up
the confidence and the money
411
00:14:27,492 --> 00:14:30,453
to treat herself
to a much-needed vacation.
412
00:14:30,453 --> 00:14:31,913
Mm-hmm.
413
00:14:31,913 --> 00:14:33,039
I'm worried
because she mentioned
414
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,500
a bill situation of yours.
415
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:37,210
- That's personal.
- Yes, but I'm worried
416
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:38,586
that she's rethinking her travel
417
00:14:38,586 --> 00:14:39,921
in order to help you out.
418
00:14:39,921 --> 00:14:41,172
Help me out?
419
00:14:41,172 --> 00:14:43,382
I would never ask her
to do that.
420
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:45,259
That's what she's
going to do anyway.
421
00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:46,969
So I just thought
that you should know.
422
00:14:46,969 --> 00:14:48,846
You know, I'm sure my daughter
423
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:50,932
will do what's right.
424
00:14:50,932 --> 00:14:52,725
Besides, her and Tariq
splitting her rent,
425
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,685
it ain't like she's struggling.
426
00:14:54,685 --> 00:14:56,437
That young man is
no longer with your daughter.
427
00:14:56,437 --> 00:14:58,731
What?
428
00:14:58,731 --> 00:15:04,237
Damn, well, guess you
can't keep a good man down.
429
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:05,947
I just want you to know
how important
430
00:15:05,947 --> 00:15:08,449
this vacation is for Janine...
431
00:15:08,449 --> 00:15:12,578
Uh, Barbara, you know,
this is a family matter.
432
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:15,331
And I don't remember seeing you
at any of the cookouts.
433
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:17,875
You don't know me.
434
00:15:20,545 --> 00:15:23,631
You're right, I don't know you.
435
00:15:24,966 --> 00:15:26,676
But I know your daughter.
436
00:15:26,676 --> 00:15:29,804
And she will help you out
at her own expense.
437
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:31,097
Yeah, well, I'm her mother,
438
00:15:31,097 --> 00:15:33,599
and I brought her
into this world at mine.
439
00:15:35,685 --> 00:15:38,271
Why don't I give you
the money for the bill,
440
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:40,565
you tell Janine
that you worked it out,
441
00:15:40,565 --> 00:15:44,193
and we keep it between us,
just you and I?
442
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:56,998
- Janine...
- Baby...
443
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:58,291
Hey, Mom,
444
00:15:58,291 --> 00:16:00,543
why don't we go to my classroom?
445
00:16:00,543 --> 00:16:01,586
Sure.
446
00:16:01,586 --> 00:16:02,920
Hmm.
447
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:08,426
Come on, baby.
448
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:13,264
Yeah, you too good
for this place, baby.
449
00:16:13,264 --> 00:16:16,184
That lady... I mean, is that
who's teaching our youth,
450
00:16:16,184 --> 00:16:19,604
nosy-ass,
judgy-ass over-steppers?
451
00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:20,938
I mean, that's crazy.
452
00:16:20,938 --> 00:16:23,441
Because I'm down there,
minding my own business,
453
00:16:23,441 --> 00:16:25,067
and then she go
calling bitches broke.
454
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:26,819
And I'm like, "Excuse me?"
455
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:28,946
Yeah, see, see,
you only caught the tail end.
456
00:16:28,946 --> 00:16:29,947
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, she like,
457
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:32,158
"You broke and deadbeat."
458
00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:34,869
And I'm like, "How can
a mother be deadbeat?"
459
00:16:34,869 --> 00:16:36,537
I carried you in my body.
460
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:40,124
Ugh.
Anyway, then she squared up.
461
00:16:40,124 --> 00:16:41,626
Barbara Howard squared up?
462
00:16:41,626 --> 00:16:42,919
She sure did, talking
about she from North Philly.
463
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:44,253
I said so, I'm from West.
464
00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:45,254
- What's good?
- Hmm.
465
00:16:45,254 --> 00:16:46,714
Then she gonna switch it up
466
00:16:46,714 --> 00:16:49,050
- and try to give me a handout.
- Hmm.
467
00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:50,009
Something ain't right with her.
468
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:51,219
Mm.
469
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:55,181
Mom, why did you come here?
470
00:16:55,181 --> 00:16:57,558
I already told you, I miss you.
471
00:16:57,558 --> 00:16:59,477
Right, but I've been calling
you for months.
472
00:16:59,477 --> 00:17:00,978
You know, you could
have just answered.
473
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:04,398
Well, I was busy.
474
00:17:05,316 --> 00:17:07,151
And you ain't leave no messages.
475
00:17:08,903 --> 00:17:12,156
All right, so here's
what we're gonna do.
476
00:17:12,156 --> 00:17:13,783
I'm gonna call the phone company
477
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:16,535
and set up
a payment plan for you.
478
00:17:16,535 --> 00:17:18,913
That way, they'll turn
your phone back on.
479
00:17:18,913 --> 00:17:21,457
And then I'm going
to give you the money
480
00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:24,543
for the first two payments,
but that is it.
481
00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:27,463
I don't have the rest
of the money to spare.
482
00:17:27,463 --> 00:17:30,508
I'm going on vacation.
483
00:17:30,508 --> 00:17:32,260
And that is what I can do
for you right now, Mom.
484
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:36,681
It's that option,
or you're on your own.
485
00:17:36,681 --> 00:17:38,015
And it's totally up to you.
486
00:17:38,933 --> 00:17:41,018
Well, I was gonna figure
it out...
487
00:17:43,563 --> 00:17:45,398
But I'll take option one.
488
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:47,108
Okay.
489
00:17:47,108 --> 00:17:48,401
Thank you, baby.
490
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:50,236
You're welcome.
491
00:17:50,236 --> 00:17:51,237
I love you, Mom.
492
00:17:51,237 --> 00:17:52,572
And you need your phone.
493
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:54,073
Yeah, I do, for work.
494
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:58,202
And I love you too.
495
00:18:00,538 --> 00:18:02,039
Come here, my baby.
496
00:18:05,376 --> 00:18:07,795
I still don't see what's
so good about this place.
497
00:18:07,795 --> 00:18:08,921
Mom.
498
00:18:13,301 --> 00:18:15,219
You know, some things
can't be taught.
499
00:18:15,219 --> 00:18:17,763
I'm bad at small talk.
500
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:21,309
I'm just gonna stick
with regular talk.
501
00:18:22,518 --> 00:18:24,895
Now, what are
you up to tonight, Shanae?
502
00:18:24,895 --> 00:18:26,564
Ugh, more unpacking.
503
00:18:26,564 --> 00:18:28,316
We were at it
so late last night,
504
00:18:28,316 --> 00:18:30,109
- I missed the Orioles game.
- Oh.
505
00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:31,444
And today's been so crazy.
506
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:33,779
I haven't had a chance
to check the score.
507
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:35,615
Uh, 5-3 O's.
508
00:18:36,866 --> 00:18:39,410
Adley Rutschman hit an
opposite field walk off homer.
509
00:18:39,410 --> 00:18:41,037
And Cedric Mullins was
a single shy of the cycle.
510
00:18:41,037 --> 00:18:42,830
Mullins is my guy.
511
00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:43,998
All these young dudes...
512
00:18:43,998 --> 00:18:46,709
Cedric, Mullen, Felix, Logan.
513
00:18:46,709 --> 00:18:48,753
And they say we're living
in another dead ball era.
514
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:49,920
Oh, please.
515
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,006
It's simple, just hit dingers,
516
00:18:52,006 --> 00:18:53,716
play defense, close games.
517
00:18:53,716 --> 00:18:54,925
Exactly.
But that's always baseball.
518
00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:56,135
You just show up
every day, just like...
519
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:58,929
both: Cal Ripken, Jr.
520
00:18:58,929 --> 00:19:01,766
Oh, you've been
an Orioles fan this whole time
521
00:19:01,766 --> 00:19:02,933
and never said a word.
522
00:19:02,933 --> 00:19:03,934
Wow.
523
00:19:03,934 --> 00:19:04,935
Well, now I know.
524
00:19:04,935 --> 00:19:07,480
Yes, you do.
525
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,565
Okay, Gregory.
526
00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:12,526
Connection...
It's a lot like baseball,
527
00:19:12,526 --> 00:19:14,403
a bunch of weird,
kind of boring stuff happens,
528
00:19:14,403 --> 00:19:17,531
and then boom, home run.
529
00:19:17,531 --> 00:19:18,866
Who knew?
530
00:19:18,866 --> 00:19:21,410
[knock at door]
531
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:22,536
Oh, Janine.
532
00:19:22,536 --> 00:19:24,246
I know I crossed the line,
533
00:19:24,246 --> 00:19:26,332
and please,
allow me to apologize.
534
00:19:26,332 --> 00:19:28,459
No, Barbara, it's okay.
535
00:19:28,459 --> 00:19:30,544
Really, I'm not mad.
536
00:19:30,544 --> 00:19:34,090
If anything, it is moving
that you care that much
537
00:19:34,090 --> 00:19:36,175
that you would do that for me.
538
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:39,637
So I think I'm just embarrassed.
539
00:19:39,637 --> 00:19:43,474
Look, my mom...
540
00:19:43,474 --> 00:19:45,685
I love my mom.
541
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:47,853
But that's my mom.
542
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:49,355
So how'd it go?
543
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:51,440
It went okay. I handled it.
544
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,442
Her phone's gonna get
turned back on.
545
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:54,568
But don't worry.
546
00:19:54,568 --> 00:19:55,611
We came to a compromise.
547
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:56,779
I'm helping her where I can.
548
00:19:56,779 --> 00:19:58,698
So the trip is still on.
549
00:19:58,698 --> 00:19:59,949
Whew.
550
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:00,950
Wonderful.
551
00:20:00,950 --> 00:20:02,451
You had me scared.
552
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:03,828
Oh, I'm happy for you.
553
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:04,829
Thank you.
554
00:20:04,829 --> 00:20:07,373
What about the massage?
555
00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:09,208
Massage money is
on its way to Mom.
556
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:11,001
But it's all right.
557
00:20:11,001 --> 00:20:12,712
I'm happy I'm able to help.
558
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,380
Next time.
559
00:20:14,380 --> 00:20:16,340
And now that I've set
that boundary, who knows?
560
00:20:16,340 --> 00:20:19,427
Maybe my mom and I
can get closer than ever,
561
00:20:19,427 --> 00:20:21,637
take our own little trip
one day as mother and daughter.
562
00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:25,433
Maybe.
563
00:20:26,767 --> 00:20:28,352
And when you're out there
by yourself,
564
00:20:28,352 --> 00:20:30,354
do not carry
too much cash on you.
565
00:20:30,354 --> 00:20:32,064
I won't. I don't have any.
566
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:33,733
Well, you should have some.
567
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:35,067
But do you have a swim cover-up?
568
00:20:36,402 --> 00:20:37,945
The Ross is having a sale.
569
00:20:37,945 --> 00:20:38,946
Wait, really? Which one?
570
00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:40,406
Yes, on City Line.
571
00:20:40,406 --> 00:20:41,949
- I love that one.
- Girl, let me get my bag.
572
00:20:41,949 --> 00:20:43,075
- Come on.
- Okay.
573
00:20:48,998 --> 00:20:50,624
Gregory, do you think
574
00:20:50,624 --> 00:20:53,043
I could bend this spoon
with magic?
575
00:20:53,043 --> 00:20:55,212
Jacob, when I told you
to get a hobby,
576
00:20:55,212 --> 00:20:57,506
I meant one
that wasn't annoying.
577
00:20:57,506 --> 00:20:58,758
Hey.
578
00:20:58,758 --> 00:21:00,593
Hey, how was your day?
579
00:21:01,635 --> 00:21:03,262
Weird, social.
580
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:04,805
I talked to Shanae
about baseball.
581
00:21:04,805 --> 00:21:06,223
How was yours?
582
00:21:06,223 --> 00:21:08,058
Guys, look,
I think I'm doing it.
583
00:21:08,058 --> 00:21:09,685
Mine was also weird, eventful.
584
00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:11,187
My mom was here.
585
00:21:11,187 --> 00:21:12,646
Oh, my God, guys.
586
00:21:12,646 --> 00:21:14,523
- You heading out?
- Yeah, you?
587
00:21:14,523 --> 00:21:16,609
No, but I'll walk with you.
588
00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:18,569
Guys, I'm Neo-ing.
589
00:21:18,569 --> 00:21:20,237
I'm the Matrix. [Laughs]
590
00:21:23,741 --> 00:21:25,367
- Delicious.
- And a large popcorn.
