This stop, Ventura Boulevard
and Whitsett Avenue.
Next stop, Laurel Canyon.
Stand clear. Doors closing.
That was so funny. I was…
No, no, it was funny.
It was funny. It was funny.
We made it to Pinz,
finally.
After a slight detour.
You still trying
to celebrate your big win?
Honestly?
This is all the celebration I need.
Two, three, four…
…, , .
Keisha Clark, will you be my girlfriend?
Yes.
Then he was like,
he took that ball, had it in the corner.
And then he was like, "See me, three me."
Check that wrist, you see that wrist?
-I do.
-He said, "I got the wrist right here."
Yep. Thank you.
I know you heard me screaming for you.
Twelve points in two minutes.
Ooh!
It was so good to see you roar.
Man, the one game I miss, that's when
you decide to ball out, man. Come on.
-How was practice?
-They moved me up the batting order.
-That's what's up.
-Yes, sir.
Because the Edwards boys are taking…
…over!
Mom, you sound corny
when you try to sound cool.
I am cool.
Anyway, Justin, if you would just use
that tenacity you found yesterday…
-Yeah.
-…and apply it to your schoolwork.
You will be unstoppable, baby.
-And stay consistent…
-Yes.
…with your basketball
and your books, consistent.
You gotta eat right, okay?
You gotta stay healthy.
You gotta get eight hours.
Yeah, yeah, no, okay,
uh, I need y'all to… to chill.
I need you to drink this.
I need you to gain some weight.
It's only one thing on God's green earth
can make a man do what you did last night.
My baby got a Black girl.
-He got…
-What?
-Black.
-"Black" Black?
Blackity Black!
And he getting buckets now.
Got him balling out.
That's funny.
And everything goes as planned
How soon can I see you?
When can we hook up again…?
'Sup, Keish?
My bad, Keisha.
It's fine.
Can't come up?
I'm cool.
Ah, sh*t. What'd I do now?
You mean what else did you do?
Yo, is it that bad?
I can't go to prom with you anymore.
His name is Justin Edwards,
and you saw him at the park
the other day with my mom.
And then you played against him.
What, that guy?
-Yo, I thought it was your little cousin.
-Shut up.
You're just mad because
he embarrassed you on the court.
He ain't embarrass me. I'm straight.
That little n*gga can hoop, though.
So, um…
Y'all official?
Yeah.
He's my boyfriend. So, yeah.
Why'd you say yes to me, then?
Because apologies are powerful.
They'll get you caught up in the past
if you're not careful, so…
Damn.
You're a good one, Keish.
I hope you know that.
I do know.
But our moms are gonna be hot
about not having that champagne party.
Okay, yeah.
Don't talk to your mom
until I tell mine.
And I'll let you know when I do.
Okay.
Come on, come on.
-Let's go.
-One.
Two.
-Three. There it is, there it is.
-Let's go.
Four.
Hey, man, come on. I ain't got all day.
-Oh, yes, you do.
-Man, you don't know what I got lined up.
Uh-huh. Because you stay busy, right?
-It's what I do, son. Yeah.
-Oh, "Son"?
-Are you "sonning" me now? You're crazy.
-Yeah.
-Hey, close the door.
-Oh!
Hey, I was just about
to tell both of you to come inside.
Justin, you've been outside
for over an hour.
Ninety minutes.
Um, what about me?
-Oh, a solid… !
-Okay.
Recovery time is real. Don't sleep on it.
Yeah, no, I know.
What are we doing tomorrow after
Uh, nothing. Thank God.
I think we'll be done at noon.
Okay, cool. Um, I wanna see
if I can chill with Keisha.
Oh.
Hm.
Where you going?
I just wanna hang out, you know?
Maybe have her come over,
watch a movie, if that's okay.
And, um, I finished
that extra credit for Spanish
that we were talking about, so…
Oh.
You got the extra credit, so now you got
your girlfriend coming over, huh?
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Hm.
What?
What's happening?
sh*t.
Hey.
-Mm?
-Catch.
Dad, what are you…?
Put this on it.
-See if you remember.
-Man, come on, you're not serious.
I'll wait. Come on.
You happy?
Again? Are we…?
Wait.
Now do it.
Oh my God, brother.
-Uh-huh.
-sh*t. f*ck.
Exactly.
Dad, I don't need to do this,
I'm just trying to hang out with her.
I'm proud of you wanting
to get to know a young lady,
but I also know when a man
got a thing for a woman,
whether he's a teenager
or a grown-a*s man,
what y'all intend on doing
may not be what y'all end up doing.
So here, we stay prepared.
Put them in your wallet.
Don't wanna rush, baby…
Get it off.
I need that door open, please.
sh*t.
I told you she was gonna clock the door.
Man, she stays all on me.
Come on, let's just do our homework.
Thank you.
Hey, so, uh, what about your mom?
How'd the no-prom-with-Christian thing go?
I haven't gotten there yet.
I only told Christian.
Okay, but you haven't told her, so…
She just found out
that I'm going to prom with him.
If I tell her that it's off…
She'll ask questions
and wanna know what happened. Yeah.
I'm gonna tell her, Justin.
I promise. You believe me, right?
When?
I thought I'd tell her in a few weeks.
That way it makes sense that I had time
to fall out with him and fall for you.
Good answer?
Mmm… B.
Solid B answer.
Well, as long as the final
is properly weighted.
Don't wanna waste no more time…
Hey, I, um… I mean, I… I, uh,
well, I wanted to see what you were
cool with doing.
I am cool with whatever you're cool with.
Okay, cool.
Cool.
I'm sorry, what was that?
What are you doing?
Oh, okay, gotcha. Um,
Ralph says that he is excited to meet you.
-Oh, officially.
-You na-- you named it Ralph?
Maybe.
You are ridiculous.
Baby, this is how it begins…
Dinner's ready!
She has a camera in here.
Probably.
Come on, let's, um,
put some time in with the warden
so maybe we can earn some alone time.
Okay.
So between Justin's basketball,
Jaden's baseball, and my work schedule,
I don't puzzle as much as I'd like,
but when I'm in the Vineyard,
girl, I cannot be stopped.
Martha's Vineyard?
-Yeah, we go there every summer.
-Mm.
-For the ladies.
-Thanks.
You're welcome.
Um, in case you need saving, just call out
during commercials, I'll come rescue you.
You know what, Eric, you play too much.
He's so crazy.
-Mm.
-This took a while, yeah
Love the way I pump my fist
Or how I bust my hip for your affection
Trying to be down
No fightin' and no stoppin'
Stick around
Wish I was the type of girl…
Oh, you found a piece.
Yeah.
High five.
Forty-eight.
Be proud of, be proud
You know, you know…
Forty-nine.
Fifty.
Mm. You did it!
Be proud of, be proud of…
-Take off your clothes.
-What?
What?
It got in my eye.
Come here. The security camera
has a blind spot because of the trees.
-You see it over there?
-What? Oh!
Oh!
Oh…
Well, hello, Ralph.
-Cannonball!
-Yo!
Mom said you guys can use some company.
Whoa.
Okay
,
now that we have
properly dry-brined our salmon…
We are going to pat off the excess salt.
-Mm-hmm.
-And bake at ?
-Exactly. Yeah. You're a fast learner.
-Cool.
She's a fast learner.
I'm a fast learner.
-Yeah. Okay.
-Like you said, for ten minutes.
My daddy, he'd be proud of
Be proud of
Be proud of, be proud…
-Okay. I'm almost ahead of you.
-No, no, no! Stop, stop.
-Stop, stop. You're cheating!
-No! Dude! Dude!
-No, no! No, no, no, no.
-Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes.
Oh my God.
Don't mess me up.
I'm trying to…
-Okay, I'm back in the lead!
-Oh my God. No!
Before that you figured out
That I was just a normal girl
Justin.
This is never gonna happen, is it?
Well, maybe let's try my place.
Next Saturday?
-I'm down.
-Okay, cool.
Honey, it's after nine. We need to get
you home. Is anyone picking you up?
Oh, um…
-Yeah, I can--
-You know what? We'll take you home.
No, that-- that's okay. I can get an Uber.
No, takes them too long.
You've been putting in time
helping Justin with his homework,
so I can at least take you home.
Okay?
Okay.
Guess I'm the Uber driver.
Okey-dokey, what's your address, Keisha?
Uh, I live a couple blocks down
from the baseball field.
You can just head that way,
and I can direct you how to get there.
Oh.
Okay.
Oh,
so cute.
Put on your seatbelts.
What y'all wanna listen to?
There are things
we looked at that are documented
since way before running for office.
Like, Jamel,
the craziest thing to me is I remember…
It's just up here.
…this dude is r*cist, right?
You state the damn obvious and…
-Right here?
-No!
Uh, no, just a little further.
Okay. Dang, Justin,
I will get there.
…to tell you that!
Like, these are facts.
There are things that we've looked at
that are documented
since way before running for office.
Like, there are…
Keep going.
…settlements for housing discrimination.
Like what…
-Right here's fine.
-Oh. Okay.
Great.
…Black people have a lazy gene.
He don't have to be r*cist…
Justin.
Would you walk Keisha to the door?
-Oh, yeah, my-- my bad.
-Oh…
-Thank you.
-Uh…
-So good to see you, Keisha.
-Good seeing you.
-Bye!
-Bye.
Who lives here?
-No clue. Just walk me to the porch.
-Okay.
-Damn, they don't have any sensor lights?
-I can't with you.
-Go, go, go.
-Okay.
…or demanding
that you belong in a certain space…
Oh, she made it in safely?
Yeah.
It's pitch black out there.
They don't even have sensor lights?
Mom, don't.
Whatever.
…that we're bitchy, that we're demanding,
that we're difficult.
Hey, baby.
Hey, Mom!
How was Chloe's?
It was good.
Hey, Mom, thanks again
for giving Keisha a ride home.
You know, Justin,
I love when Keisha comes over.
Okay.
But since she is your girlfriend now,
you know you gotta start putting in
more of an effort.
Plan dates, be thoughtful.
Make sure you're
one of those guys that, um,
that puts in an equal amount of effort.
I love that she got you over here
cooking and working out,
staying on top of your schoolwork.
But at some point,
you need to go to her place.
Okay, cool.
But before that happens,
I need to speak to her mother.
Wait, what?
I need Shelly's phone number
just to make sure we're all on
the same page when it comes to you kids.
Yeah, it do not matter
Turn to a savage, pocket got fatter
She call me daddy
Smoking that gas, gone off that xanny
She on the powder
Nowadays I am on
My haters got sadder…
Yo, Ralph, today's the big day, my guy.
Let's get you cleaned up.
She call me daddy
Smoking that gas, gone off that xanny
She on the powder…
Hey, did you ever shave before?
What the f*ck for?
Okay, sh*t, I'm… I'm just asking.
Yeah, right now you a boy,
in five minutes you'll be a man.
Man, f*ck you, bro.
I'm serious. Hey, you got this.
Just do what I said, all right?
Make them come first,
and then when they're hollering, go.
Everybody wins.
You got to know the tricks
especially with a girl like Keisha,
who know what they're doing.
All right?
Yeah.
All right, thanks for the ride.
You got this.
Surprise.
Uh, delivery for Keisha Clark?
Shoes?
Sh-- Okay.
Shoes.
Nice touch.
Oh, this old thing?
Come on.
Let me give you a tour.
Presenting the bedroom.
Good mattress.
Hey.
What's up?
Um, hey.
So, what do you wanna do?
Whatever you wanna do.
How about you take the lead?
Kinda getting hot in here, yeah?
Yeah, that's why I got this tank on.
Honestly
Honestly, I'm trying to stay focused
You must think
I've got to be joking when I say
I don't think I can wait
I just need it now
Better swing my way
I just need some d*ck
I just need some love
Tired of f*cking
With these lame n*gg*s
Baby, I just need a thug
Won't you be my plug, ay
You could be the one, ay
We could start with a handshake…
-Is this okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Girls can't never say they want it
Girls can't never say how
Girls can't never say they need it
Girls can't never say now…
Is this okay too?
Mm-hmm.
Girls can't never say they need it
Girls can't never say now, oh, now
Give it to me like you need it, baby
Want you to hear me screaming
Heavy breathing
I don't need a reason, baby
-I wanna take and find…
-Uh…
Uh, uh…
Uh, my-- uh, my turn. My turn.
I can be real good…
You sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Ay, I need some love
Ay, I need some love
Ay, I need some love
Ay, and you can't judge…
Okay, slow down, baby.
-Okay. Okay, sorry.
-Yeah, you're good.
Girls need love
Let me tell you something
Girls need love…
Okay, okay, lay back.
-Lay back.
-Okay.
What's a girl to do
When she needs loving too?
If we just…
Uh, is it in?
Uh, no, not yet.
-Sorry.
-It's okay.
sh*t. Oh, sh*t.
f*ck.
Sorry.
Hang on.
Here you go.
I feel like I air-balled a three
and Kobe was watching.
Come on, it wasn't that bad.
I wasn't super relaxed.
When it's a girl's first time,
we kind of tense up,
or that's what I've been told.
-A girl's first time?
-Yeah.
Wait, did you think that I…
No, I mean, I thought that, uh,
you and Christian had…
No, no, no, no, not that. No, I just…
I am still a virgin, Justin.
You are too, right?
I mean, yeah, Keisha,
you're, like, my first girlfriend.
And you're my first…
Secret boyfriend?
Don't say that.
sh*t, it's my mom.
She's gonna be home soon.
I hate this.
I wasn't serious.
I was just messing with you.
I get it.
No.
Look, I-- I like being
your girlfriend, Justin,
and I-- I can't keep doing this.
I wanna tell my mom about you.
I want her to know how I feel about you.
I don't wanna keep sneaking around.
Yup.
One day.
I'm gonna tell my mom
about us today when she gets home.
I'm not trying to pressure you.
No, you're not.
I want to.
I want you to too.
Mom?
f*ck.
Ray Ray, shut the dogs up, man!
Hey, Mommy.
Hey, baby.
I'll be up there in a second.
I don't want to get this on you.
Mom, are we gonna have to move out?
No.
No.
Mom, that dress, it's too much.
Brittany said you liked that one.
My baby gotta look cute
on the arm of her star athlete.
Look, I don't need it. Or prom.
Girl.
Will you please let me celebrate you?
Look, God knows
I need something to look forward to.
All I want
is for you to go in there
like Black Cinderella
with that beautiful dress on
and your head held high
and let them know they didn't break you.
You bounced back better
and kept your man.
Because you are exactly
the person I raised you to be.
Now get outta here
before you get a contact high.
Hey, girly!
Hi, Mrs. Edwards.
Oh, come on,
we puzzle buddies. It's Miss Dawn.
Come on in.
My friend Chloe, she dropped me off.
She'll be back to pick me up
in a few hours after her therapy.
Oh. Okay.
Well, Justin said you were coming by
to enjoy the pool.
-Yeah.
-It is so beautiful outside.
Um, so you can head to the backyard.
He's already out there.
-Okay, cool.
-Okay.
-Oh, and, uh, by the way…
-Yeah.
I asked Justin
for your mom's phone number,
but you know how forgetful he is,
so could you just…?
Yeah, I will text you
my mom's number. Yeah.
-Okay. Great.
-Okay.
Have fun!
There ain't no turning back
Turning back, turning back…
I don't know why
I don't get in here more often.
It's great for blood flow
and muscle relaxation.
What's wrong?
I have to go to prom with Christian.
Wait, what?
My mom, she brought a prom dress
that was just way too much money, and…
I'm-- I'm sorry, um, uh, a dress?
She got too invested
with me going with Christian.
Okay, but why?
Because she loves the idea
of me being with the future LeBron.
I know how that sounds, but it's my mom.
Okay, but then tell her the truth
about Christian, okay? About us.
If I tell her everything, she can't handle
that right now, Justin. She won't.
She deserves to believe that I am exactly
the person she raised me to be,
because she didn't make the mistake.
I did.
I know this is all a mess,
but it's a mess I was honest
with you about from the beginning.
It's why I wanted to go back into hiding.
It's why I wanted you
to find another Keisha.
I didn't wanna drag you into all of this.
I didn't want you to get hurt,
but Justin, you told me--
I know what I told you.
I am so close to being done
with all of this bullshit.
Please.
What about us?
What do you mean?
It's still us.
I'm just asking you to understand.
Okay, it's just one night
to not derail the rest of my life.
Justin.
Look, it means nothing to me, okay?
But it'd mean everything to me
if you understood.
I, um…
I gotta go use the restroom.
I called shotgun.
No, that's kid sh*t. Get out.
Hey! Watch your mouth. Get in the car.
Mm-hmm. Mom!
-Get the f*ck out.
-Mom!
Just-- What the hell is wrong with you?
Everyone's all over me all the time,
and he does whatever he wants.
You're mad Keisha dumped you
for someone else.
-What? Hey, hey!
-f*ck you!
This is not what we do.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Jaden, go inside.
Get my iPad. It's on my nightstand.
-I still get shotgun though, right?
-Yeah, absolutely.
Okay.
Justin.
Justin.
-What's going on?
-We're gonna be late.
-I mean with Keisha.
-Mom.
Okay, just know that I am here to talk
if you need or to listen.
Relationships at your age,
they're difficult.
-It's just tricky.
-Mom, I can't do this right now.
Okay, just go inside.
You can stay at home.
Go ahead.
-Where is he going?
-Okay, get in the car.
f*ck.
Jaden, baby, don't go into Justin's room.
Jaden, time for bed.
I'm doing my homework.
What's taking you so long? Video games?
Mom, it's a lot. Can you give me a break?
Okay. Thirty more minutes.
You got me again
You're scared of the edges…
Everybody! It's time!
Get your phones out.
Oh my goodness!
Oh my God!
Look at her!
-You look beautiful!
-Beautiful!
Come on, Urkel! Yes!
Come on, body!
-Yes, prom edges!
-I got you.
Okay, I got it. We got that.
Okay!
All right, all right.
I'm gonna get here.
Right here.
Right here, Keisha! Right here!
You okay?
Keisha, are you crying?
Girl, this ain't your wedding.
It's the glitter.
Okay, come here.
You're messing up your makeup.
Look up.
-Feel good?
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay, good.
-All right?
There we go.
Give me your hand now.
Okay, don't hit the logo.
-There we go.
-All right.
Give us a leg. Yes.
-Not too much. Not a whole lot.
-Right there.
Wait.
-Do one just all the ladies?
-Okay.
-Look at our baby!
-All right, y'all.
So maybe I'll leave
If that's what you need
I can't help it now
Wish I could take a look back.
