1
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,016
Before texts and e-mails,

2
00:00:11,042 --> 00:00:13,457
writing letters was the
primary way for a 12-year-old

3
00:00:13,483 --> 00:00:15,113
to stay in contact with someone...

4
00:00:15,137 --> 00:00:17,043
that and a rotary phone with a cord

5
00:00:17,068 --> 00:00:19,379
that hopefully
stretched into your bedroom.

6
00:00:20,872 --> 00:00:24,338
But I couldn't call my older
brother Bruce, who was in Vietnam.

7
00:00:25,401 --> 00:00:27,112
I was good at writing, though,

8
00:00:27,137 --> 00:00:29,213
and letters were our special thing.

9
00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:32,612
He'd tell me about the people he'd met
and the foods he was trying,

10
00:00:32,638 --> 00:00:35,487
and I'd tell him all about
the exciting things in my life.

11
00:00:35,513 --> 00:00:38,354
"And then I spit, and it went
further than Cory's spit,

12
00:00:38,379 --> 00:00:39,573
so I won the bet!"

13
00:00:39,599 --> 00:00:42,595
Okay, so, my life wasn't as
exciting as his,

14
00:00:42,620 --> 00:00:46,307
but that was always the case, because
Bruce was great at everything...

15
00:00:46,333 --> 00:00:49,103
school, sports, spitting.

16
00:00:49,129 --> 00:00:52,698
My biggest wish was to one day
be great at something.

17
00:00:52,724 --> 00:00:54,721
Dean! Hurry up!

18
00:00:54,747 --> 00:00:56,456
Be down in a second.

19
00:00:56,482 --> 00:00:58,557
Don't make me tell you twice.

20
00:01:06,098 --> 00:01:09,633
Lord, you know I am not ready to
be a grandmother.

21
00:01:12,554 --> 00:01:14,253
About time, young man.

22
00:01:14,279 --> 00:01:15,527
Letter?

23
00:01:16,761 --> 00:01:18,733
No, see, that's not gonna fit.

24
00:01:18,758 --> 00:01:19,870
- Mom...
- Dean!

25
00:01:19,896 --> 00:01:22,488
But I told him I'd send him something
to play catch with his buddies!

26
00:01:22,514 --> 00:01:24,940
Well, he's at war, not summer camp.

27
00:01:24,965 --> 00:01:26,667
Then why'd you pack him
all those balloons?

28
00:01:26,693 --> 00:01:28,768
Obviously, I'd never seen condoms

29
00:01:28,793 --> 00:01:30,595
or balloons, apparently.

30
00:01:30,628 --> 00:01:34,608
Good morning, Mom. Wow, I love
what you've done with your hair.

31
00:01:34,634 --> 00:01:37,050
- What do you want?
- Did you hem my plaid skirt?

32
00:01:37,076 --> 00:01:38,500
No, I did not.

33
00:01:38,526 --> 00:01:40,121
Would you like to know why?

34
00:01:40,660 --> 00:01:41,931
Not really.

35
00:01:41,957 --> 00:01:44,147
I had to bake the cookies for
Bruce's care package

36
00:01:44,172 --> 00:01:45,802
'cause you didn't do it
like I asked you to.

37
00:01:45,827 --> 00:01:47,113
I'm still gonna make them.

38
00:01:47,139 --> 00:01:48,667
You were supposed to
make them two days ago.

39
00:01:48,693 --> 00:01:51,008
They're already done. I'm
headed to the post office now.

40
00:01:51,034 --> 00:01:52,855
Per usual, I get nothing,

41
00:01:52,881 --> 00:01:55,890
and Bruce, the perfect
first-born, gets everything.

42
00:01:55,933 --> 00:01:59,665
Maybe if I was fighting for the
imperialistic, capitalist machine,

43
00:01:59,691 --> 00:02:01,319
a sister could get a skirt hemmed.

44
00:02:01,344 --> 00:02:03,027
Oh, sweetheart.

45
00:02:03,550 --> 00:02:06,495
It's "If I were fighting."
"If I were."

46
00:02:06,521 --> 00:02:08,186
And you know where my sewing kit is.

47
00:02:08,212 --> 00:02:10,792
- Hem it yourself.
- But my hems are always crooked.

48
00:02:10,818 --> 00:02:12,355
That's why you need to practice.

49
00:02:12,381 --> 00:02:13,581
Good morning.

50
00:02:16,651 --> 00:02:18,613
Who ate the pork rinds?

51
00:02:20,539 --> 00:02:23,100
Not cool, man. Not cool.

52
00:02:23,126 --> 00:02:25,274
Those were for Bruce.

53
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:28,206
When I was in Korea, nobody sent
me care packages from home.

54
00:02:28,232 --> 00:02:30,930
Well, he's in infantry. You were a cook.

55
00:02:30,956 --> 00:02:33,931
Unfortunately, Daddy still had
more kills.

56
00:02:33,957 --> 00:02:35,760
Chore chart is empty.

57
00:02:35,786 --> 00:02:37,663
Why'd I go through the trouble
of making the thing

58
00:02:37,689 --> 00:02:40,384
if I was gonna have to end up
doing it all myself anyway?

59
00:02:40,688 --> 00:02:42,388
You know, your mother's right.

60
00:02:42,413 --> 00:02:44,384
We all have to do our part.

61
00:02:44,410 --> 00:02:46,147
Glad my name isn't on this.

62
00:02:46,172 --> 00:02:47,665
Dean, hurry up and get to the bus.

63
00:02:47,691 --> 00:02:51,516
I'm not going to school today. Today's
"Take Your Son To Work Day," remember?

64
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:54,696
- Of course I remember.
- Of course he didn't.

65
00:02:54,722 --> 00:02:58,200
Even though I'm not teaching at the university and
I have to take you to my recording session...

66
00:02:58,226 --> 00:03:00,360
like I planned all along.

67
00:03:00,930 --> 00:03:03,524
Well, now that I think about it,

68
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:05,630
today would be a good day for
Dean to go to work with me.

69
00:03:05,655 --> 00:03:07,274
We have a lot of fun stuff planned.

70
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:08,860
I didn't know where my mom worked,

71
00:03:08,886 --> 00:03:11,876
but I could tell by her sweater
her job was boring.

72
00:03:11,902 --> 00:03:14,497
Mom, can I please go with Dad?

73
00:03:14,659 --> 00:03:16,899
- Fine.
- Yes!

74
00:03:18,774 --> 00:03:20,818
Did I act too happy?

75
00:03:20,844 --> 00:03:22,706
You'll learn.

76
00:03:26,671 --> 00:03:31,514
www.subtitulamos.tv

77
00:03:35,616 --> 00:03:37,788
Bill, you're late.

78
00:03:38,069 --> 00:03:39,780
Was it because
you and the wife had a little...

79
00:03:39,806 --> 00:03:42,285
Hey, everybody,
my 12-year-old son, Dean...

80
00:03:42,310 --> 00:03:45,108
who is 12... is with me
for a class assignment.

81
00:03:45,134 --> 00:03:46,632
He's 12.

82
00:03:46,730 --> 00:03:48,733
Dean, you remember Washboard.

83
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:51,210
Good to see you, boy!

84
00:03:51,236 --> 00:03:52,768
And that's Clarence, and this is Bum...

85
00:03:52,793 --> 00:03:53,944
I mean, Brian Lee.

86
00:03:53,970 --> 00:03:56,702
"Bum's" fine. Hey, man.
Slap me some.

87
00:03:57,108 --> 00:04:00,429
Dean, welcome to
where the magic happens.

88
00:04:00,555 --> 00:04:03,909
But this is still work, so let's
go over the ground rules.

89
00:04:03,997 --> 00:04:06,696
Rule Number One... stay out of the way.

90
00:04:06,722 --> 00:04:09,968
Rule Number Two... don't touch
anything unless I tell you.

91
00:04:17,193 --> 00:04:19,858
Anybody else see
a 12-year-old boy over there?

92
00:04:19,884 --> 00:04:21,216
Everyone cool to start?

93
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,663
Slow down, Stingray.

94
00:04:22,689 --> 00:04:24,405
It's bad enough you got
us here at 9:00 a.m.

95
00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:26,280
That last album only sold 70 copies.

96
00:04:26,306 --> 00:04:28,178
We don't have p.m.-studio money.

97
00:04:28,204 --> 00:04:29,741
Can I join in?

98
00:04:31,718 --> 00:04:33,407
I got just the thing.

99
00:04:41,047 --> 00:04:43,383
As I watched them play,
I finally understood

100
00:04:43,409 --> 00:04:45,146
why they called it "funk music."

101
00:04:45,172 --> 00:04:47,216
Because when a band sounds as
good as my dad's,

102
00:04:47,241 --> 00:04:50,195
you make a face like you smelled
something bad.

103
00:04:54,344 --> 00:04:56,724
Stop, stop. Okay, everybody stop.

104
00:04:57,256 --> 00:05:00,645
Dean, you supposed to do that
after everyone's done playing, remember?

105
00:05:00,671 --> 00:05:03,956
The music stops, you count to
six, and then... boom, blow.

106
00:05:03,982 --> 00:05:05,302
I just got a little nervous.

107
00:05:05,328 --> 00:05:06,648
Sorry, Dad.

108
00:05:06,674 --> 00:05:10,060
It's okay. Your part is very important,
so it needs to be right.

109
00:05:10,232 --> 00:05:13,161
But you're doing great.
You'll get the hang of it.

110
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,547
Okay, guys, from the top.

111
00:05:15,573 --> 00:05:17,341
Here we go again.

112
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:19,529
Take 9.

113
00:05:40,121 --> 00:05:43,296
Watching my dad made
me want a band of my own.

114
00:05:47,482 --> 00:05:51,010
Thank you, thank you! On drums, Cory!

115
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,393
On theremin, Brad!

116
00:05:53,419 --> 00:05:55,775
On guitar, Keisa!

117
00:05:55,801 --> 00:05:57,846
On the sax, me!

118
00:05:57,872 --> 00:06:00,286
And we are "The Deans"!

119
00:06:02,001 --> 00:06:04,205
Dean! Dean!

120
00:06:04,231 --> 00:06:06,424
Dean! Dean!

121
00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:07,908
Dean!

122
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,379
Let's take five.

123
00:06:10,405 --> 00:06:13,447
Dean, go over there and sit on
the couch for a second.

124
00:06:16,517 --> 00:06:18,078
I'm sorry, guys.

125
00:06:18,103 --> 00:06:19,457
Maybe he just needs to watch and learn.

126
00:06:19,482 --> 00:06:20,650
Yeah, just give him a little time.

127
00:06:20,676 --> 00:06:22,485
Yeah, just let the cat take it slow.

128
00:06:22,511 --> 00:06:23,718
Dad?

129
00:06:24,106 --> 00:06:25,736
"Pop That Cherry".

130
00:06:25,933 --> 00:06:27,564
Is that another way to eat it?

131
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:29,096
If you do it right.

132
00:06:35,802 --> 00:06:38,796
Dean, we're gonna have
so much fun today.

133
00:06:38,822 --> 00:06:40,526
So, first, you're gonna come to
my office,

134
00:06:40,551 --> 00:06:42,146
and then we're gonna go
to the cafeteria.

135
00:06:42,172 --> 00:06:44,732
And then, I'm gonna take
each one of these letters...

136
00:06:48,126 --> 00:06:51,189
These are accounts receivable.

137
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,759
And these are accounts payable.

138
00:06:55,037 --> 00:06:58,026
So far, this is definitely a downgrade.

139
00:06:58,525 --> 00:07:00,500
- Coach Long.
- Hey, Cliff.

140
00:07:00,526 --> 00:07:02,237
Hey, Lillian, don't work him
too hard, now.

141
00:07:02,263 --> 00:07:03,698
I'm expecting you at practice,

142
00:07:03,724 --> 00:07:06,307
and those fly balls
are not gonna catch themselves.

143
00:07:07,595 --> 00:07:09,807
- Is Cory with you today?
- No.

144
00:07:09,833 --> 00:07:13,319
See, my brother-in-law,
he's a former Tuskegee Airman.

145
00:07:13,344 --> 00:07:14,651
Cory wanted to spend some time with him.

146
00:07:14,677 --> 00:07:16,096
I mean, matter of fact, he's
probably looking at

147
00:07:16,122 --> 00:07:20,713
a P51 Redtail Mustang
fighter plane as we speak, baby.

148
00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:22,667
Glad we're both having fun.

149
00:07:22,693 --> 00:07:23,934
Hey...

150
00:07:24,823 --> 00:07:27,178
I hope you brought this boy
an extra jacket,

151
00:07:27,281 --> 00:07:29,933
'cause you know they keep it
cold in here.

152
00:07:29,969 --> 00:07:32,318
I wouldn't understand that joke
until my freshman year

153
00:07:32,344 --> 00:07:34,397
in college when I had
my first white roommate.

154
00:07:34,423 --> 00:07:35,589
Thanks, Connor Murphy.

155
00:07:35,615 --> 00:07:38,146
- Can I help you with something?
- Yeah, you got some cocoa butter?

156
00:07:38,172 --> 00:07:39,561
Of course.

157
00:07:39,587 --> 00:07:42,009
Yes, yes. I can't be walking around ashy

158
00:07:42,034 --> 00:07:43,527
since I got my new account.

159
00:07:43,553 --> 00:07:44,740
Oh, right!

160
00:07:44,766 --> 00:07:47,014
About time they let one of us
shine around here.

161
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,264
You know that's right.
Thank you.

162
00:07:50,030 --> 00:07:51,983
Now, where was I?

163
00:07:53,180 --> 00:07:55,286
Accounts payable.

164
00:07:55,514 --> 00:07:59,078
The outlaws of the Wild, Wild
West of accounting, so to speak.

165
00:08:03,592 --> 00:08:05,321
Now, see, that's odd.

166
00:08:05,516 --> 00:08:08,407
Looks like the Hansen
account is over budget.

167
00:08:09,021 --> 00:08:11,884
Come on, Dean. We're
going on a little walk.

168
00:08:18,168 --> 00:08:19,764
Hey, Max.

169
00:08:20,389 --> 00:08:22,647
The Hansen account is over budget.

170
00:08:22,673 --> 00:08:25,843
That's impossible. I reported
every receipt myself.

171
00:08:25,869 --> 00:08:28,484
No, it's not impossible,
'cause I seen it with my own eyes.

172
00:08:28,510 --> 00:08:29,601
You're over budget.

173
00:08:29,627 --> 00:08:31,286
All the cash receipt totals
are accurate,

174
00:08:31,312 --> 00:08:32,702
but you didn't account for
the petty cash.

175
00:08:32,728 --> 00:08:35,687
I assure you, James and I
looked at the petty c...

176
00:08:36,777 --> 00:08:39,028
- Oopsie.
- Yeah, "oopsie" is right.

177
00:08:39,054 --> 00:08:42,429
Mr. Davidson is gonna be
ticked about this.

178
00:08:42,892 --> 00:08:45,843
James, can you come here for a second?

179
00:08:47,156 --> 00:08:49,802
If Mr. Davidson finds out that
you're over budget again,

180
00:08:49,827 --> 00:08:52,468
it's gonna be a problem, so
here's what we're gonna do.

181
00:08:52,494 --> 00:08:55,285
You're gonna recalibrate
last month's accounts receivable

182
00:08:55,310 --> 00:08:57,492
and allocate it to the cash flow
statement.

183
00:08:57,518 --> 00:08:59,360
- Lillian, if I do that, I'll...
- It'll be fine.

184
00:08:59,385 --> 00:09:02,921
Hey, James, if I was you, I would,

185
00:09:02,947 --> 00:09:04,703
listen to what the lady has to say.

186
00:09:04,729 --> 00:09:07,367
Because what we're gonna... G-George.

187
00:09:07,507 --> 00:09:09,842
George is gonna get us
last year's ledgers,

188
00:09:09,868 --> 00:09:11,320
and we're gonna compare the numbers.

189
00:09:11,346 --> 00:09:14,742
Seeing my mom in action was
like watching a Crimson Tide QB

190
00:09:14,768 --> 00:09:16,835
call a play right before halftime.

191
00:09:17,413 --> 00:09:19,181
Accounts receivable, go left!

192
00:09:19,206 --> 00:09:20,523
Cash flow, go right!

193
00:09:20,549 --> 00:09:21,960
Ledger, up the middle!

194
00:09:21,986 --> 00:09:23,421
On three! Break!

195
00:09:25,318 --> 00:09:27,845
Blue! 89!

196
00:09:37,177 --> 00:09:40,246
Touchdown!

197
00:09:43,374 --> 00:09:45,211
Mama, do they all work for you?

198
00:09:45,237 --> 00:09:47,568
No, we're all account execs.

199
00:09:49,031 --> 00:09:50,868
But I've been here the longest.

200
00:09:50,894 --> 00:09:53,294
So cool. Give me some.

201
00:09:55,745 --> 00:09:59,893
Well, you know, your mama's done
a cool thing or two over the years.

202
00:09:59,919 --> 00:10:01,401
Thank you, honey.

203
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,886
Go in there. I'll be right back.

204
00:10:07,097 --> 00:10:09,620
I never knew the role
Mama played at work.

205
00:10:09,646 --> 00:10:11,180
I knew she had a job,

206
00:10:11,206 --> 00:10:14,190
but I just pictured her grocery
shopping and running errands all day.

207
00:10:14,216 --> 00:10:15,881
She ran that place.

208
00:10:15,907 --> 00:10:17,710
People listened to her.

209
00:10:17,736 --> 00:10:19,711
People had to listen to her.

210
00:10:19,737 --> 00:10:23,667
Her job was just as cool as
Dad's... maybe cooler.

211
00:10:24,643 --> 00:10:27,216
And I don't even think you had
to be a woman to do it.

212
00:10:27,241 --> 00:10:30,808
This is Lillian Williams from the State
Treasury Department. Yes, I need to...

213
00:10:30,834 --> 00:10:34,776
Before now, I'd only heard Mama use her
white voice on the phone with the bank.

214
00:10:34,802 --> 00:10:36,784
Now I knew where she'd honed it.

215
00:10:40,683 --> 00:10:41,889
Hey, Lillian.

216
00:10:41,915 --> 00:10:43,975
Finally, someone's gonna give
her her propers.

217
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,030
Hey, Max.

218
00:10:45,056 --> 00:10:48,608
Did you make those cupcakes
for Ted's birthday?

219
00:10:48,846 --> 00:10:50,178
Are you kidding me?

220
00:10:50,204 --> 00:10:52,282
Were they gonna pay her extra for that?

221
00:10:52,476 --> 00:10:54,830
Pass me that bag over there, please.

222
00:10:54,856 --> 00:10:58,623
She made a care package for Bruce
and cupcakes for the office,

223
00:10:58,649 --> 00:11:00,566
all in pantyhose and heels?

224
00:11:00,592 --> 00:11:03,896
My dad had two jobs,
but Mama had, like, 30.

225
00:11:05,308 --> 00:11:07,931
Lil, what would we do without you?

226
00:11:07,957 --> 00:11:09,940
Let's be honest, none of the secretaries

227
00:11:09,965 --> 00:11:12,785
can make food taste "down
home" like you do.

228
00:11:14,957 --> 00:11:16,184
Thank you.

229
00:11:16,655 --> 00:11:19,676
You guys heard that too, right?

230
00:11:20,068 --> 00:11:21,746
There were cupcakes.

231
00:11:21,902 --> 00:11:24,112
So, they asked you to make
birthday cupcakes

232
00:11:24,137 --> 00:11:26,012
'cause yours taste the best?

233
00:11:26,294 --> 00:11:28,371
Among other things.

234
00:11:28,502 --> 00:11:30,029
Do you guys all take turns?

235
00:11:30,055 --> 00:11:31,582
No.

236
00:11:31,608 --> 00:11:35,186
Just... It's always been this way, honey.
It's complicated.

237
00:11:35,212 --> 00:11:38,186
Those cupcakes are for everybody?
Including me?

238
00:11:38,212 --> 00:11:40,561
Yeah, and you can have one
if you just take them

239
00:11:40,586 --> 00:11:42,710
into the break room... carefully...

240
00:11:42,736 --> 00:11:44,686
while I finish up in here.

241
00:12:00,482 --> 00:12:03,596
Rebecca, were you able to
get Xerox on the call?

242
00:12:03,622 --> 00:12:06,319
Since the winner gets to host
the next canasta game,

243
00:12:06,344 --> 00:12:08,510
we'll be at my house this weekend.

244
00:12:08,536 --> 00:12:09,811
Again.

245
00:12:12,694 --> 00:12:15,462
Hello. And who might you be?

246
00:12:15,488 --> 00:12:17,153
I'm Dean Williams.

247
00:12:17,310 --> 00:12:19,420
Mrs. Williams' son.

248
00:12:19,446 --> 00:12:21,110
Dean Williams.

249
00:12:21,136 --> 00:12:22,516
And what do you got there?

250
00:12:23,464 --> 00:12:25,301
Why don't you put them
over here on the table?

251
00:12:25,327 --> 00:12:26,927
Excuse me.

252
00:12:27,177 --> 00:12:29,359
Such nice manners!

253
00:12:29,412 --> 00:12:31,837
Not to brag, but this was normal.

254
00:12:31,862 --> 00:12:33,482
White women loved me.

255
00:12:34,490 --> 00:12:37,177
You speak so well!

256
00:12:37,203 --> 00:12:40,076
You're so well-mannered.

257
00:12:40,829 --> 00:12:43,771
You're so not going to rape my daughter.

258
00:12:45,745 --> 00:12:47,444
Hi, Mrs. Williams.

259
00:12:48,506 --> 00:12:51,326
Girl, I told you to drop
the "Mrs. Williams" when it's just us.

260
00:12:51,631 --> 00:12:53,959
- Right, Lil.
- Lillian.

261
00:12:54,835 --> 00:12:57,128
I'm just messing with you.

262
00:12:59,969 --> 00:13:02,808
Mr. Johnson treating you all right?
Do I need to get on him for you?

263
00:13:03,214 --> 00:13:05,675
He's... the same.

264
00:13:05,737 --> 00:13:07,598
This morning, it was,

265
00:13:07,624 --> 00:13:10,527
"When are you going to wear
that red skirt again?

266
00:13:10,553 --> 00:13:12,902
The one that makes your legs
look so shapely."

267
00:13:13,323 --> 00:13:15,733
Well, girl, you should do
like I do and tell him,

268
00:13:15,758 --> 00:13:17,042
"I'll pick up one for your wife.

269
00:13:17,068 --> 00:13:19,683
I'm sure they come in the color
'Alimony.'"

270
00:13:22,409 --> 00:13:23,799
I have to go.

271
00:13:23,825 --> 00:13:26,542
Mr. Branson yelled at me
last time his lunch was late.

272
00:13:26,568 --> 00:13:27,972
Who, Ted?

273
00:13:28,744 --> 00:13:30,305
He has some nerve yelling.

274
00:13:30,331 --> 00:13:33,077
If Mr. Davidson so much as
raises his voice to Ted,

275
00:13:33,103 --> 00:13:36,745
he starts honking like
he's having a dying-duck fit.

276
00:13:39,667 --> 00:13:42,009
I-I need to make sure Mr. Johnson has

277
00:13:42,034 --> 00:13:43,595
those mimeographs on his desk

278
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:46,636
before he gets back
from the cafeteria, so...

279
00:13:54,937 --> 00:13:56,774
She also made lunch?

280
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,019
When did she have time to make us lunch?

281
00:13:59,045 --> 00:14:01,959
I'm starting to think my mom
wakes up before 8:00 a.m.

282
00:14:01,985 --> 00:14:05,092
You're not gonna go to the cafeteria
with the other account execs?

283
00:14:05,727 --> 00:14:07,920
They don't want to eat with me.

284
00:14:09,338 --> 00:14:11,529
What about the secretaries?

285
00:14:11,735 --> 00:14:13,983
They have other things to worry about.

286
00:14:14,186 --> 00:14:16,897
Lunchtime was the part of
the day I enjoyed most...

287
00:14:16,923 --> 00:14:19,002
when I got to catch up with my friends.

288
00:14:19,028 --> 00:14:21,899
But lunchtime for my mom
meant spending time alone.

289
00:14:21,925 --> 00:14:23,832
But maybe I could help her out.

290
00:14:23,858 --> 00:14:25,279
Coach Long!

291
00:14:25,826 --> 00:14:27,850
Come eat lunch with us!

292
00:14:29,662 --> 00:14:32,725
H-hey, I-I would, but, I d...

293
00:14:32,751 --> 00:14:34,658
I didn't bring anything with me.

294
00:14:34,828 --> 00:14:36,837
My mom made enough food to share.

295
00:14:36,863 --> 00:14:40,045
Well, you know, that s...
that sounds great, but...

296
00:14:44,436 --> 00:14:47,358
You know, on second thought,

297
00:14:47,384 --> 00:14:49,577
maybe it'll be fun for me to sit

298
00:14:49,603 --> 00:14:51,428
and have lunch
alone with my mom.

299
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:55,256
I wanna learn more about what
she does around here.

300
00:14:57,183 --> 00:14:59,250
Well, just for that, I'm gonna
give you that cupcake

301
00:14:59,275 --> 00:15:01,034
I was saving for Cliff.

302
00:15:02,855 --> 00:15:05,465
Even Coach Long left my mom hanging.

303
00:15:05,582 --> 00:15:09,446
I guess for a Black woman in the
position my mom was in the 1960s,

304
00:15:09,471 --> 00:15:11,318
"working mom" meant you
didn't have a place

305
00:15:11,344 --> 00:15:12,800
at anybody's lunch table.

306
00:15:12,826 --> 00:15:14,383
But it didn't slow her down,

307
00:15:14,409 --> 00:15:17,129
and that made her even more
of a hero to me.

308
00:15:17,278 --> 00:15:18,316
So,

309
00:15:18,785 --> 00:15:22,758
what makes cupcakes
taste so "down home"?

310
00:15:24,301 --> 00:15:25,624
Slavery.

311
00:15:28,147 --> 00:15:30,520
And bacon grease in the pan.

312
00:15:32,581 --> 00:15:34,439
But mainly slavery.

313
00:15:41,962 --> 00:15:44,311
Funny. Instead of being bored enough

314
00:15:44,337 --> 00:15:46,949
to jump out the window and
shoot myself on the way down,

315
00:15:46,975 --> 00:15:50,744
I actually wanted to learn more
about Mama and her job.

316
00:15:51,455 --> 00:15:52,759
So...

317
00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:56,984
Did you always want to work here?

318
00:15:59,353 --> 00:16:00,876
You know...

319
00:16:01,406 --> 00:16:03,519
I didn't know what I wanted to do,

320
00:16:03,599 --> 00:16:07,188
but none of the women
in my family had careers.

321
00:16:07,485 --> 00:16:10,457
I knew I wanted more than what
Waugh, Alabama, had to give me,

322
00:16:10,482 --> 00:16:14,094
so I went to college
and then I got my master's.

323
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,548
And then, after months of searching for
work without so much as an interview,

324
00:16:17,574 --> 00:16:22,977
I saw a posting about a job
at the Department of Treasury.

325
00:16:24,916 --> 00:16:26,598
Never thought I'd get it,

326
00:16:26,624 --> 00:16:29,927
but like I tell you and your
brother and your sister...

327
00:16:29,953 --> 00:16:31,536
"Give out before you give up."

328
00:16:31,562 --> 00:16:32,665
That's right.

329
00:16:33,794 --> 00:16:35,006
I tried.

330
00:16:35,521 --> 00:16:37,060
And I got the job.

331
00:16:37,086 --> 00:16:40,107
Sometimes, you don't appreciate
the rare beauty of a unicorn

332
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:42,208
until you see it in the wild.

333
00:16:43,077 --> 00:16:46,349
So, you had to get
a master's to work here?

334
00:16:46,613 --> 00:16:49,724
Baby, I'm the only one here
who has a master's.

335
00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:51,450
Lillian!

336
00:16:51,965 --> 00:16:54,526
Our biggest account in the
department it's way over budget.

337
00:16:54,551 --> 00:16:56,583
This is unacceptable.

338
00:16:56,779 --> 00:16:58,354
Yes, Mr. Davidson.

339
00:16:58,379 --> 00:17:00,716
Now we have to adjust
the entire account.

340
00:17:00,742 --> 00:17:05,021
So, are you thinking we should recalibrate
last month's accounts payable

341
00:17:05,047 --> 00:17:07,379
to allocate the funds to...

342
00:17:07,922 --> 00:17:10,462
The cash flow statement.
Yes.

343
00:17:10,488 --> 00:17:12,025
- Good idea.
- Thanks.

344
00:17:12,051 --> 00:17:14,496
Yeah, so, then,
that means that George

345
00:17:14,522 --> 00:17:16,347
would need to bring...

346
00:17:16,753 --> 00:17:18,152
last year's ledger...

347
00:17:18,178 --> 00:17:20,946
To compare those numbers to this year.

348
00:17:20,972 --> 00:17:24,473
Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking.

349
00:17:24,642 --> 00:17:25,858
Great.

350
00:17:25,884 --> 00:17:28,176
That just saved us a lot of time.

351
00:17:44,140 --> 00:17:46,345
Touchdown!

352
00:17:46,735 --> 00:17:51,502
Davidson! Davidson! Davidson!

353
00:17:58,974 --> 00:18:01,673
But didn't he just steal
your idea, Mama?

354
00:18:01,699 --> 00:18:03,474
Damn right, he did.

355
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,422
But you don't work here
this long without learning a few tricks.

356
00:18:07,312 --> 00:18:10,249
By the way, I'm assigning you as lead

357
00:18:10,275 --> 00:18:11,875
on our newest account.

358
00:18:11,901 --> 00:18:13,133
I realized right then

359
00:18:13,159 --> 00:18:15,687
that my mom wasn't gonna let
anyone take advantage of her.

360
00:18:15,713 --> 00:18:17,067
She knew how to play the game.

361
00:18:17,093 --> 00:18:20,656
Just let Long know that you're gonna be
taking it over from him.

362
00:18:21,465 --> 00:18:24,361
He'll take the news better
if it's coming from you.

363
00:18:29,626 --> 00:18:31,047
All right, bye, Lilly.

364
00:18:31,073 --> 00:18:33,015
I'm-a see you at practice, Dean.

365
00:18:35,031 --> 00:18:36,257
Cliff?

366
00:18:38,009 --> 00:18:40,125
Can I talk to you for a second?

367
00:18:43,046 --> 00:18:46,383
I started the day not knowing
what my mom did for a living.

368
00:18:46,409 --> 00:18:48,591
Turns out, it wasn't just one thing.

369
00:18:48,617 --> 00:18:51,945
She had to do it all,
and she was great at it.

370
00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:54,281
But her wins came at a cost.

371
00:19:07,444 --> 00:19:10,679
Mama, I've never seen that purse before!
That's foxy!

372
00:19:10,833 --> 00:19:12,808
You know where my other skirt is?

373
00:19:12,834 --> 00:19:15,211
Not the plaid one. The green one
with the buttons on the front.

374
00:19:15,237 --> 00:19:16,591
It's still in the hamper.

375
00:19:16,617 --> 00:19:18,240
You know where
the laundry room is, right?

376
00:19:18,266 --> 00:19:19,689
Baby, what time do you think
dinner will be ready?

377
00:19:19,715 --> 00:19:21,840
Can you make stew?
You make the best stew.

378
00:19:21,866 --> 00:19:24,976
We just got home! Will
you people give us a second?

379
00:19:25,002 --> 00:19:26,367
Please.

380
00:19:26,492 --> 00:19:30,453
And when I get back in here,
these chores better be done.

381
00:19:33,071 --> 00:19:35,804
The woman just walked
through the door.

382
00:19:51,817 --> 00:19:53,968
This will fit, right, Mama?

383
00:19:54,622 --> 00:19:56,140
Yeah, that's fine.

384
00:20:08,535 --> 00:20:11,475
It says here you're gonna get
a master's degree like me.

385
00:20:11,501 --> 00:20:13,077
"Give out before you give up."

386
00:20:13,103 --> 00:20:14,633
My mom's words stuck with me.

387
00:20:14,659 --> 00:20:16,899
I taught the same thing to my kids.

388
00:20:17,485 --> 00:20:19,922
That look on Mama's face was
like the look Daddy had

389
00:20:19,948 --> 00:20:23,102
when he'd heard I picked sax
as my instrument for band.

390
00:20:24,758 --> 00:20:28,172
Oh, and, sorry. I was playing with one of
those balloons you put in there for Bruce.

391
00:20:28,198 --> 00:20:29,474
Balloons?

392
00:20:31,755 --> 00:20:33,075
In the little packets?

393
00:20:33,101 --> 00:20:35,130
Yeah, it was hard to blow up at first,

394
00:20:35,156 --> 00:20:36,649
but then I finally got it.

395
00:20:36,675 --> 00:20:38,250
Then it popped.

396
00:20:41,382 --> 00:20:44,078
A-All right, go eat your breakfast.

397
00:20:44,103 --> 00:20:50,754
