00:00:11,428 --> 00:00:14,646
_

2
00:00:14,670 --> 00:00:18,221
Baby? Lottie? We're almost there, okay?

3
00:00:18,246 --> 00:00:20,092
Might want to wake up.

4
00:00:49,506 --> 00:00:51,243
- Hi, morning.
- Hey, good morning.

5
00:00:51,268 --> 00:00:53,672
- Can I see your license?
- Uh, yes.

6
00:00:57,686 --> 00:00:59,877
- Here you go.
- Thank you.

7
00:00:59,902 --> 00:01:01,717
All right, I'm-a need to see your bag.

8
00:01:01,905 --> 00:01:03,060
Oh. Okay.

9
00:01:09,933 --> 00:01:11,860
- Here you go.
- Thank you.

10
00:01:11,927 --> 00:01:13,129
All right now.

11
00:01:13,196 --> 00:01:14,994
- Let me see that bag, too.
- You want this bag?

12
00:01:15,019 --> 00:01:17,144
- Yeah, the backpack. Mm-hmm.
- Oh.

13
00:01:18,449 --> 00:01:19,408
Here.

14
00:01:19,433 --> 00:01:21,743
All right. Thank you.

15
00:01:28,850 --> 00:01:31,655
Is this really necessary?
She's just a child.

16
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,028
You'd be surprised
who's snuck guns in here.

17
00:01:36,506 --> 00:01:37,908
- Here we go.
- Thank you.

18
00:01:37,933 --> 00:01:39,463
You got that. Watch yourself.

19
00:01:39,488 --> 00:01:41,050
Have a good day.

20
00:01:42,827 --> 00:01:45,166
You'll need these at all
times. Hold on to that.

21
00:01:45,191 --> 00:01:47,066
- Okay. Thank you.
- Straight up there.

22
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:48,836
You got it. Have a good one, now.

23
00:02:03,403 --> 00:02:09,449
credits

24
00:02:18,743 --> 00:02:20,672
Hello, y'all, and welcome

25
00:02:20,697 --> 00:02:23,436
to Kirkwood Chocolate's
one and only Chocolateland.

26
00:02:23,545 --> 00:02:25,783
A studio for the culture and what...?

27
00:02:25,808 --> 00:02:27,144
By the culture.

28
00:02:27,169 --> 00:02:29,007
- By the culture, that's right.
- Yes, Lord!

29
00:02:30,317 --> 00:02:32,120
Over here we have Mr. Chocolate's

30
00:02:32,187 --> 00:02:33,590
state-of-the-art film stages.

31
00:02:33,656 --> 00:02:35,795
- What's that over there?
- Uh,

32
00:02:35,861 --> 00:02:38,801
those are Mr. Chocolate's
old stages and studios.

33
00:02:38,867 --> 00:02:41,339
He's converted them
into a personal office.

34
00:02:41,405 --> 00:02:44,011
Mr. Chocolate is very... private.

35
00:02:44,036 --> 00:02:45,949
So, no one's allowed in

36
00:02:45,974 --> 00:02:47,029
or out.

37
00:02:48,769 --> 00:02:50,740
All right, moving on.

38
00:03:00,861 --> 00:03:02,697
Hi. We're here for filming.

39
00:03:02,722 --> 00:03:04,159
- Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Oh.

40
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:05,764
- Yes.
- Um, you can just sign your name.

41
00:03:05,788 --> 00:03:07,724
- Oh, okay.
- You can sign in over there,

42
00:03:07,749 --> 00:03:09,304
and I'll come and bring
you to hair and makeup

43
00:03:09,328 --> 00:03:10,941
when they're ready for
you. If you need anything,

44
00:03:10,965 --> 00:03:12,036
please ask, okay?

45
00:03:12,061 --> 00:03:13,779
- Thank you.
- No problem.

46
00:03:14,471 --> 00:03:16,193
Okay, ready?

47
00:03:16,475 --> 00:03:17,812
Good.

48
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:20,050
Take a break, we'll do it again.

49
00:03:25,026 --> 00:03:26,638
Yo, man, don't come at
me with that bullshit.

50
00:03:26,662 --> 00:03:28,175
You know I had to take
Chrissy to set today.

51
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:29,535
I'm hungry.

52
00:03:31,197 --> 00:03:33,083
Oh. Okay, okay.

53
00:03:33,978 --> 00:03:35,857
If that nigga ain't got
my bands, he dead anyway.

54
00:03:35,881 --> 00:03:38,191
I don't think I brought any
snacks. They're in the car.

55
00:03:38,216 --> 00:03:39,582
Nigga, hold that nigga there.

56
00:03:39,607 --> 00:03:41,100
We'll just grab something after, okay?

57
00:03:41,125 --> 00:03:43,496
Oh, okay. Okay. Nigga,
hold that nigga's ass there.

58
00:03:43,563 --> 00:03:44,700
Hold him there.

59
00:03:44,725 --> 00:03:46,062
Hold that nigga there! I told you,

60
00:03:46,086 --> 00:03:47,433
put that nigga in the
trunk if you have to.

61
00:03:47,457 --> 00:03:48,693
Hold that nigga there.

62
00:03:48,718 --> 00:03:51,322
- That's a really nice goldfish.
- Thanks.

63
00:03:52,614 --> 00:03:54,485
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.

64
00:03:54,958 --> 00:03:56,689
Hey, uh, excuse me.

65
00:03:56,757 --> 00:03:58,862
Yo, I'm sorry for
being loud or whatever.

66
00:03:59,582 --> 00:04:01,068
Oh, it's okay.

67
00:04:03,506 --> 00:04:04,632
Um... what's your name?

68
00:04:05,224 --> 00:04:06,590
Denise.

69
00:04:06,934 --> 00:04:08,771
Nice to meet you, Denise.

70
00:04:08,796 --> 00:04:10,088
Yeah.

71
00:04:10,113 --> 00:04:11,599
Vanessa.

72
00:04:12,197 --> 00:04:14,373
Oh, we're ready for you.

73
00:04:16,505 --> 00:04:18,466
Uh... Denise, they're ready for you.

74
00:04:20,225 --> 00:04:22,195
Uh, let's pack up.

75
00:04:31,367 --> 00:04:33,996
- Is this your first time here?
- Oh, yeah.

76
00:04:34,021 --> 00:04:35,021
It's great, isn't it?

77
00:04:35,066 --> 00:04:36,502
Yeah, it's fun.

78
00:04:36,569 --> 00:04:38,907
That's the one you saw with Grandma.

79
00:04:53,202 --> 00:04:55,975
Baby, you want my
phone? You can have it.

80
00:04:56,651 --> 00:04:58,193
I'm okay.

81
00:04:59,066 --> 00:05:01,594
- Mm, she is so sweet.
- Aw.

82
00:05:01,619 --> 00:05:03,456
I can't tell you how
many kids come through

83
00:05:03,481 --> 00:05:05,293
with a diva attitude.

84
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,830
Thank you.

85
00:05:06,897 --> 00:05:09,601
Honestly, it's your first time on set.

86
00:05:09,626 --> 00:05:10,996
Both of us, actually.

87
00:05:11,021 --> 00:05:12,449
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

88
00:05:12,474 --> 00:05:14,478
Are you a Kirkwood Chocolate fan?

89
00:05:14,587 --> 00:05:16,057
Uh... I haven't really

90
00:05:16,082 --> 00:05:18,740
watched his stuff in a while, so...

91
00:05:19,455 --> 00:05:22,060
Yeah. I hate it, personally.

92
00:05:22,127 --> 00:05:22,995
Oh.

93
00:05:23,062 --> 00:05:24,631
- No offense.
- No.

94
00:05:24,656 --> 00:05:27,095
No, truly, none taken.

95
00:05:27,204 --> 00:05:29,050
Yeah, honestly, I don't
know, it was just, like,

96
00:05:29,074 --> 00:05:30,755
a quick way to make
some good money, and...

97
00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:31,845
Yeah.

98
00:05:31,870 --> 00:05:34,218
And we're supporting Black
art, so I thought that was good,

99
00:05:34,284 --> 00:05:35,821
and... my friend, actually,

100
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,630
told me to audition. It made
me feel kind of independent.

101
00:05:38,663 --> 00:05:40,039
So, I thought I'd just
sort of follow that.

102
00:05:40,063 --> 00:05:41,578
Yeah. Yeah, I mean,

103
00:05:41,603 --> 00:05:42,992
- I'm doing this to get my bread up.
- Mm-hmm.

104
00:05:43,016 --> 00:05:44,849
- And it's an experience, you know?
- Exactly.

105
00:05:44,873 --> 00:05:46,308
- We deserve that.
- Yeah.

106
00:05:46,375 --> 00:05:48,579
And then, I was also,
like, I don't really care,

107
00:05:48,646 --> 00:05:50,316
so I could just have fun,

108
00:05:50,383 --> 00:05:52,430
and then my daughter could see
me do something I wanted to do.

109
00:05:52,454 --> 00:05:54,334
- Yo, air should be working now.
- Oh, good.

110
00:05:54,358 --> 00:05:57,097
Take a second and look at
the hot water... Oh, uh...

111
00:05:57,164 --> 00:05:58,967
My bad, I didn't mean
to interrupt you guys.

112
00:05:59,034 --> 00:06:00,540
- Oh, no, you're good.
- It's okay.

113
00:06:00,565 --> 00:06:01,870
Hi, I'm Shamik.

114
00:06:01,989 --> 00:06:03,653
Hi. Vanessa.

115
00:06:03,934 --> 00:06:06,708
I ain't seen you before.
What show you work on?

116
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:08,569
Uh, I'm just a day player today.

117
00:06:08,594 --> 00:06:09,921
- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.

118
00:06:09,946 --> 00:06:11,929
- Well, it's nice to meet you.
- You, too.

119
00:06:12,866 --> 00:06:15,293
- I'll see you around. All right.
- All right.

120
00:06:18,435 --> 00:06:20,853
Well, okay, Miss Vanessa.

121
00:06:20,878 --> 00:06:22,681
- I see you.
- Copy. Phaedra.

122
00:06:22,789 --> 00:06:24,259
We're gonna need her in 40 minutes.

123
00:06:24,284 --> 00:06:26,146
Oh, okay.

124
00:06:26,972 --> 00:06:30,310
- Girl, we just... in here talking.
- Okay, I'm just gonna...

125
00:06:37,653 --> 00:06:38,956
You don't need him.

126
00:06:38,981 --> 00:06:40,918
Sandra, he is not worth it.

127
00:06:40,985 --> 00:06:42,287
But he's my husband.

128
00:06:42,424 --> 00:06:44,669
If I don't stand with
him, who else will?

129
00:06:47,124 --> 00:06:49,205
What the hell is going on here?

130
00:06:49,584 --> 00:06:51,740
Didn't I tell you you
couldn't have any friends?

131
00:06:52,022 --> 00:06:53,719
Charles, I love you,

132
00:06:53,744 --> 00:06:55,670
but a woman has needs and boundaries.

133
00:06:55,695 --> 00:06:58,201
You represent me when you
walk out of this house.

134
00:06:58,358 --> 00:07:01,192
I don't care what your little
thot friends over there think.

135
00:07:01,420 --> 00:07:03,099
Dramond.

136
00:07:08,981 --> 00:07:11,306
Grab her by the shoulders.

137
00:07:14,958 --> 00:07:16,938
- Who is that?
- Mr. Chocolate.

138
00:07:16,963 --> 00:07:19,669
Mikey, please mess up her hair.

139
00:07:25,146 --> 00:07:27,316
More, Mikey.

140
00:07:32,514 --> 00:07:34,482
Thank you. Continue.

141
00:07:35,211 --> 00:07:36,915
I'll be damned if you
embarrass me like that

142
00:07:36,939 --> 00:07:38,241
ever again.

143
00:07:38,693 --> 00:07:39,862
Both of you, out.

144
00:07:39,887 --> 00:07:40,887
Charles, we're here...

145
00:07:40,912 --> 00:07:42,714
- Now.
- Shut up.

146
00:07:43,841 --> 00:07:46,089
- Baby. You have to be quiet...
- Who said that?

147
00:07:46,113 --> 00:07:48,661
Uh, I'm sorry. That
was my daughter. Um...

148
00:07:48,686 --> 00:07:50,824
Baby, you have to be quiet
when they're filming, okay?

149
00:07:50,891 --> 00:07:52,694
So they can record it. Okay, mama?

150
00:07:52,719 --> 00:07:54,498
May I see her?

151
00:07:55,181 --> 00:07:56,417
Uh, I'm sorry, my daughter?

152
00:07:56,842 --> 00:07:58,161
Yes.

153
00:07:58,849 --> 00:08:00,568
Uh, s-sure.

154
00:08:02,468 --> 00:08:04,552
Where are you?

155
00:08:05,086 --> 00:08:07,694
I'm everywhere, like God.

156
00:08:07,756 --> 00:08:09,660
I'm Mr. Chocolate.

157
00:08:10,264 --> 00:08:13,037
Why did you tell that
mean man to shut up?

158
00:08:13,390 --> 00:08:14,993
He was being mean.

159
00:08:17,586 --> 00:08:19,623
I like her. Put her in the scene.

160
00:08:19,648 --> 00:08:20,918
Mikey, place her on the stairs.

161
00:08:20,985 --> 00:08:22,855
Oh, oh, I'm sorry, she-she doesn't act.

162
00:08:22,922 --> 00:08:25,093
Everyone acts, Miss Vanessa.

163
00:08:26,273 --> 00:08:28,411
What is your name, young lady?

164
00:08:28,532 --> 00:08:30,027
Lottie.

165
00:08:30,603 --> 00:08:32,207
Lottie.

166
00:08:32,274 --> 00:08:34,337
Can you tell the mean man to shut up

167
00:08:34,362 --> 00:08:36,515
exactly the way you did the first time?

168
00:08:36,582 --> 00:08:37,857
Okay.

169
00:08:37,941 --> 00:08:39,621
- Wonderful. Dramond...
- Are you gonna be okay?

170
00:08:39,645 --> 00:08:41,683
Take it from, "I'll be damned."

171
00:08:42,552 --> 00:08:43,727
I'll be damned

172
00:08:43,752 --> 00:08:45,998
if you embarrass me
like that ever again.

173
00:08:46,377 --> 00:08:47,679
Both of you, out.

174
00:08:47,704 --> 00:08:48,783
Charles, we're here supporting...

175
00:08:48,807 --> 00:08:50,410
- Now.
- Shut up.

176
00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:54,301
Amazing. Cut. Moving on.

177
00:08:54,326 --> 00:08:56,807
Oh, but, Mr. Chocolate, um,

178
00:08:56,832 --> 00:08:58,760
that was just the blocking rehearsal,

179
00:08:58,785 --> 00:09:00,970
and Lottie's not in any
of the earlier scenes.

180
00:09:00,995 --> 00:09:02,787
We'll fix it in post.

181
00:09:03,097 --> 00:09:04,152
But, sir,

182
00:09:04,177 --> 00:09:05,774
the post department has been begging us

183
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:07,496
to fix it in "pre."

184
00:09:10,918 --> 00:09:12,554
Understood, sir.

185
00:09:12,579 --> 00:09:14,962
Call Marcie in costumes. We're
gonna need children's clothes.

186
00:09:14,986 --> 00:09:16,461
I'm sorry, what-what-what's happening?

187
00:09:16,485 --> 00:09:18,413
Oh, Mr. Chocolate just needs Lottie

188
00:09:18,438 --> 00:09:19,727
in the next scene.

189
00:09:19,836 --> 00:09:21,171
How long's that gonna take?

190
00:09:21,238 --> 00:09:22,950
With the way that Mr. Chocolate shoots,

191
00:09:22,975 --> 00:09:25,380
you'll both still
probably be done by lunch,

192
00:09:25,405 --> 00:09:27,376
but we just need to get her fitted.

193
00:09:27,764 --> 00:09:29,567
Come with me, please.

194
00:09:35,633 --> 00:09:36,990
Can I wear this?

195
00:09:37,724 --> 00:09:39,793
It's up to your mother, darling,

196
00:09:39,818 --> 00:09:41,810
but Mr. Chocolate
says whatever you want.

197
00:09:41,938 --> 00:09:43,792
- This okay?
- Yeah,

198
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:45,279
that's fine.

199
00:09:53,202 --> 00:09:56,398
You okay, love? You nervous for her?

200
00:09:56,852 --> 00:09:59,481
Yeah. I guess I'm kind of nervous.

201
00:09:59,740 --> 00:10:02,687
Well, she seems to be very excited.

202
00:10:02,755 --> 00:10:04,552
She'll do fine.

203
00:10:06,349 --> 00:10:08,773
Yeah, but I guess,
like, putting children

204
00:10:08,798 --> 00:10:11,380
on screen, you know, I
don't know if she really

205
00:10:11,405 --> 00:10:13,609
understands the bigger
picture of what we're doing,

206
00:10:13,634 --> 00:10:14,701
you know what I mean?

207
00:10:14,726 --> 00:10:16,854
What have you seen of Mr. Chocolate's?

208
00:10:16,956 --> 00:10:18,427
Not a lot. Um...

209
00:10:19,599 --> 00:10:23,076
I saw that one movie
where the woman marries...

210
00:10:23,101 --> 00:10:24,762
an angel.

211
00:10:24,787 --> 00:10:27,012
Oh, yeah. Do Not Be Afraid.

212
00:10:27,037 --> 00:10:28,606
Yes, yes.

213
00:10:28,672 --> 00:10:31,591
I, um, didn't love that one.

214
00:10:31,813 --> 00:10:33,382
You a Christian?

215
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,829
I'm spiritual.

216
00:10:38,411 --> 00:10:39,691
It's okay.

217
00:10:39,716 --> 00:10:41,160
None of us are perfect.

218
00:10:41,185 --> 00:10:43,928
The only reason I ask is
because it always reminds me

219
00:10:43,953 --> 00:10:45,771
of this verse,

220
00:10:45,796 --> 00:10:49,388
"Whoever doesn't receive the
Kingdom of God like a child,

221
00:10:49,413 --> 00:10:50,916
won't enter it."

222
00:10:51,118 --> 00:10:53,422
And I always thought that
meant whoever's not open

223
00:10:53,447 --> 00:10:55,204
to the joys of a child...

224
00:10:56,078 --> 00:10:57,915
Like their own child...

225
00:10:58,328 --> 00:11:00,969
is not really open to true happiness.

226
00:11:02,224 --> 00:11:03,946
Mom. Mom.

227
00:11:03,993 --> 00:11:05,688
Looks cool, huh?

228
00:11:05,713 --> 00:11:07,302
Wow.

229
00:11:07,327 --> 00:11:09,364
It looks very cool.

230
00:11:09,566 --> 00:11:12,773
Can I make a video?
I look like Doja Cat.

231
00:11:15,566 --> 00:11:17,337
Listen, Doja.

232
00:11:19,355 --> 00:11:21,388
If you ever feel uncomfortable,

233
00:11:22,255 --> 00:11:23,873
and you want to leave,

234
00:11:24,151 --> 00:11:26,669
you just give me the "thumbs down" sign,

235
00:11:26,823 --> 00:11:28,334
and we go right then and there.

236
00:11:28,359 --> 00:11:29,872
We don't even have to
talk to anybody, okay?

237
00:11:29,896 --> 00:11:30,998
Okay.

238
00:11:31,064 --> 00:11:32,771
Want to shake on it?

239
00:11:36,705 --> 00:11:38,354
We're ready for Lottie on set.

240
00:11:38,379 --> 00:11:40,383
All right, baby. Come on, let's go.

241
00:11:45,326 --> 00:11:47,138
I don't like that man, Mama.

242
00:11:47,163 --> 00:11:49,000
I don't like how he treats you.

243
00:11:49,025 --> 00:11:51,935
I know, baby, but he's all I got.

244
00:11:55,112 --> 00:11:56,950
Your mama's crazy.

245
00:11:57,471 --> 00:11:59,554
If my mama's crazy,

246
00:11:59,663 --> 00:12:01,467
what's your mama?

247
00:12:03,930 --> 00:12:05,912
You better tell her.

248
00:12:07,201 --> 00:12:08,308
Cut.

249
00:12:08,333 --> 00:12:11,365
- Moving on. That was perfect.
- Lottie.

250
00:12:11,433 --> 00:12:12,919
Lottie?

251
00:12:19,762 --> 00:12:21,591
She's good.

252
00:12:22,504 --> 00:12:24,123
Thank you.

253
00:12:24,771 --> 00:12:28,008
Honestly, we need to stick together.

254
00:12:28,287 --> 00:12:30,564
Mr. Chocolate likes your daughter,

255
00:12:30,589 --> 00:12:33,389
probably writing a kids
show for her right now.

256
00:12:34,371 --> 00:12:36,037
Maybe my daughter
could be the best friend

257
00:12:36,061 --> 00:12:37,880
who's good at computers.

258
00:12:39,326 --> 00:12:42,048
Nah. She's, uh, just acting for today.

259
00:12:42,073 --> 00:12:44,466
Honestly, she's not even
really that into acting.

260
00:12:44,498 --> 00:12:47,005
I don't know.
She seems pretty happy.

261
00:12:47,994 --> 00:12:49,062
Yeah, no. She's...

262
00:12:49,087 --> 00:12:51,293
she's not ready. But your daughter

263
00:12:51,318 --> 00:12:52,761
should have the show.

264
00:12:52,786 --> 00:12:54,389
Oh, I know.

265
00:12:54,630 --> 00:12:56,459
She's not the right "type."

266
00:12:56,988 --> 00:13:00,357
Like I said, we really
need to stick together.

267
00:13:03,258 --> 00:13:04,727
How was that, Mommy?

268
00:13:04,752 --> 00:13:05,729
That was great.

269
00:13:05,754 --> 00:13:08,294
That was great. Yes.

270
00:13:08,641 --> 00:13:10,634
Excuse me, s... Where's Lottie?

271
00:13:10,769 --> 00:13:12,293
They moved to the next scene.

272
00:13:12,418 --> 00:13:14,170
- Next scene?
- Mm-hmm.

273
00:13:14,237 --> 00:13:16,065
How many more scenes is she in?

274
00:13:16,090 --> 00:13:18,012
Well, she's in...

275
00:13:22,015 --> 00:13:24,132
14 more scenes, and it
looks like they made her

276
00:13:24,157 --> 00:13:26,461
number three on the call
sheet. Congratulations.

277
00:13:26,528 --> 00:13:28,299
Oh, no, no, no. I think I need

278
00:13:28,324 --> 00:13:29,835
to speak to somebody in charge.

279
00:13:29,860 --> 00:13:31,238
Is Mr. Chocolate around?

280
00:13:31,263 --> 00:13:33,651
No. He never leaves his office.

281
00:13:33,676 --> 00:13:36,682
I've actually never seen Mr. Chocolate.

282
00:13:36,975 --> 00:13:38,711
I just know he's always watching me.

283
00:13:39,789 --> 00:13:41,291
Guy's a genius.

284
00:13:41,358 --> 00:13:44,240
That's fine. Um, where is Lottie headed?

285
00:13:44,431 --> 00:13:45,876
Tommy Lister Memorial Stage.

286
00:13:45,901 --> 00:13:48,472
- Okay, could you take me there?
- I...

287
00:13:48,539 --> 00:13:50,974
I'll take you, if you want.

288
00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:54,584
So, where you from?

289
00:13:54,888 --> 00:13:57,165
I'm from here. You?

290
00:13:57,190 --> 00:13:58,793
Oh, I'm from New Orleans.

291
00:13:58,860 --> 00:14:01,098
Don't worry, I still like you, though.

292
00:14:01,164 --> 00:14:02,768
Think it's cool seeing a mother

293
00:14:02,793 --> 00:14:05,598
and daughter working together.
How long y'all been acting?

294
00:14:05,749 --> 00:14:07,753
Uh, we actually don't really act.

295
00:14:07,778 --> 00:14:10,182
A friend of mine put
me on, and I was told

296
00:14:10,207 --> 00:14:12,195
maybe it'd be a good experience for me.

297
00:14:12,220 --> 00:14:14,318
Oh, well, you guys are great.

298
00:14:18,365 --> 00:14:20,036
How'd you end up in maintenance here?

299
00:14:20,186 --> 00:14:22,324
I got incarcerated when I was young.

300
00:14:22,349 --> 00:14:23,852
Two years and...

301
00:14:23,877 --> 00:14:26,081
wasn't a lot of
opportunity when I got out.

302
00:14:26,191 --> 00:14:28,762
Mr. Chocolate, he had this program.

303
00:14:28,787 --> 00:14:30,298
Just thought I'd build up my résumé

304
00:14:30,323 --> 00:14:32,201
and work on coding at night.

305
00:14:32,327 --> 00:14:34,932
- Coding?
- Yeah, I got this crypto mining farm.

306
00:14:34,957 --> 00:14:36,154
It's in my closet.

307
00:14:36,179 --> 00:14:37,981
I've been playing with
solar batteries, too.

308
00:14:38,005 --> 00:14:40,343
Do you even know what that
is? Or am I just, like...

309
00:14:40,451 --> 00:14:41,955
am I mansplaining?

310
00:14:41,980 --> 00:14:44,026
You're doing a little bit of
both, but it's cute enough.

311
00:14:45,380 --> 00:14:47,373
- Look, uh, there it is.
- Okay.

312
00:14:47,398 --> 00:14:50,130
Look, I got to run, but...
you ever got a problem

313
00:14:50,155 --> 00:14:51,240
with your fridge or your phone,

314
00:14:51,264 --> 00:14:52,801
or you just want to get coffee...

315
00:14:52,868 --> 00:14:54,270
you should hit me.

316
00:14:54,337 --> 00:14:56,552
- Thank you.
- Oh, yeah, for sure.

317
00:15:16,314 --> 00:15:18,652
You white piece of shit.

318
00:15:18,677 --> 00:15:20,982
I hope you get shot in the theatre.

319
00:15:22,731 --> 00:15:24,851
And cut. Flip the set.

320
00:15:26,703 --> 00:15:29,717
Mr. Chocolate, that was a
blocking. We weren't filming.

321
00:15:29,742 --> 00:15:31,387
We'll fix it in post. Flip the set.

322
00:15:31,411 --> 00:15:33,173
Um, excuse me, Miss? Sorry.

323
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,006
Have you seen my daughter?

324
00:15:35,031 --> 00:15:37,323
She's a little girl with
cornrows? They said she would be

325
00:15:37,348 --> 00:15:39,269
- on this set.
- Uh, I think

326
00:15:39,294 --> 00:15:41,718
they're on the John
Witherspoon Stage now.

327
00:15:41,875 --> 00:15:45,220
Okay, I'm sorry. This is unacceptable.

328
00:15:45,373 --> 00:15:46,843
Who is with my daughter?

329
00:15:46,950 --> 00:15:48,253
I'm sorry.

330
00:15:48,278 --> 00:15:51,052
I'm directing two pilots
and starring in another.

331
00:15:51,119 --> 00:15:53,063
I just bring people where he tells me.

332
00:15:53,088 --> 00:15:55,226
Mr. Chocolate is the only person

333
00:15:55,251 --> 00:15:57,414
who actually knows what's going on.

334
00:15:57,813 --> 00:16:00,819
You need to bring me to
my daughter right now.

335
00:16:03,342 --> 00:16:04,652
- Right now. Yes?
- Okay.

336
00:16:04,677 --> 00:16:06,348
- Thank you.
- Yeah, yeah.

337
00:16:06,415 --> 00:16:08,352
You realize you can't
just take somebody's child

338
00:16:08,377 --> 00:16:11,366
without their permission?
That that's kidnapping?

339
00:16:11,391 --> 00:16:14,368
Ma'am, I'm sorry this happened,

340
00:16:14,393 --> 00:16:17,654
but you won't even remember this
when she wins that BET Award.

341
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:21,353
Award? This script has a
woman eating a crack sandwich.

342
00:16:21,378 --> 00:16:22,815
Yeah.

343
00:16:22,881 --> 00:16:25,912
- Man, that's good.
- Mr. Chocolate is a wild boy.

344
00:16:25,937 --> 00:16:27,423
What was I even thinking?

345
00:16:27,448 --> 00:16:28,585
I can't believe I let her do this.

346
00:16:28,609 --> 00:16:30,076
I wouldn't even let her watch this.

347
00:16:30,101 --> 00:16:31,875
Well, my kids love it. It's funny.

348
00:16:31,899 --> 00:16:34,037
Me and my grandma watch his HIV drama,

349
00:16:34,062 --> 00:16:36,475
Love After Diagnosis,
sometimes after church.

350
00:16:36,541 --> 00:16:39,114
I love his rap musical
about the Black law professor

351
00:16:39,180 --> 00:16:40,525
that kills all her white students.

352
00:16:40,549 --> 00:16:41,731
Yeah.

353
00:16:41,756 --> 00:16:44,177
- That show is lit.
- Yeah, but it's not good.

354
00:16:44,202 --> 00:16:47,230
I don't know. He won,
like, 30 NAACP Awards

355
00:16:47,255 --> 00:16:49,200
- and a bunch of BET ones.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

356
00:16:49,225 --> 00:16:51,329
Yeah, so Black awards.

357
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,517
So, only the white ones matter to you?

358
00:16:53,542 --> 00:16:54,979
You know what I mean.

359
00:16:55,037 --> 00:16:56,573
Say what you want about Mr. Chocolate,

360
00:16:56,597 --> 00:16:58,386
- but he's done a lot for the community.
- Yep.

361
00:16:58,410 --> 00:17:00,416
I'm rooting for everybody Black.

362
00:17:01,495 --> 00:17:03,140
Even O. J.?

363
00:17:03,624 --> 00:17:05,696
- Even O. J.
- Even O. J.

364
00:17:06,906 --> 00:17:08,679
Look, I tried.

365
00:17:09,265 --> 00:17:12,848
Lord knows I tried.

366
00:17:12,915 --> 00:17:15,342
And I don't know what
they said about me,

367
00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:18,530
I don't, I don't know
what you heard, okay?

368
00:17:18,843 --> 00:17:21,757
But sometimes you don't get
the answers you're looking for.

369
00:17:21,835 --> 00:17:23,544
Go ahead and ask me something.

370
00:17:23,765 --> 00:17:25,945
Why am I here, Mama?

371
00:17:26,476 --> 00:17:29,281
None of us asked to be here.

372
00:17:29,689 --> 00:17:32,460
You just go through life
and hope for the best.

373
00:17:32,687 --> 00:17:35,812
But why am I here with you?

374
00:17:36,094 --> 00:17:39,784
Why... didn't you protect me?

375
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,962
Isn't that what mothers
are supposed to do?

376
00:17:46,585 --> 00:17:48,985
This crack sandwich good as hell.

377
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:51,203
Amazing. Moving on.

378
00:17:53,404 --> 00:17:56,243
Lottie? Lottie?

379
00:18:03,405 --> 00:18:04,607
Where is she?

380
00:18:05,954 --> 00:18:09,170
I'm sorry, ma'am. I
don't know where she is.

381
00:18:09,195 --> 00:18:10,931
But I'm sure she's safe.

382
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:13,427
Mr. Chocolate is always watching, and...

383
00:18:13,690 --> 00:18:15,147
he has plans for her.

384
00:18:15,172 --> 00:18:17,564
What the fuck are you saying?
Is this a fucking cult?

385
00:18:17,631 --> 00:18:20,391
Um, e-excuse me,
s-security? I'm sorry, um...

386
00:18:20,416 --> 00:18:22,203
- Mm-hmm?
- I can't find my daughter.

387
00:18:22,228 --> 00:18:24,414
Okay, but I can't
actually help you, though.

388
00:18:24,573 --> 00:18:25,659
You're security.

389
00:18:25,684 --> 00:18:27,730
Uh, technically, but I'm
also just an intern, too.

390
00:18:28,058 --> 00:18:29,429
Here's your coffee.

391
00:18:29,837 --> 00:18:31,406
Thanks.

392
00:18:53,625 --> 00:18:55,609
Give me back my daughter.

393
00:19:08,571 --> 00:19:09,989
No.

394
00:19:17,396 --> 00:19:18,900
Hell no.

395
00:19:24,126 --> 00:19:26,359
Hey. Hey, love.

396
00:19:28,779 --> 00:19:30,448
You okay?

397
00:19:40,375 --> 00:19:41,519
Hey!

398
00:19:41,544 --> 00:19:44,451
Kirkwood has my daughter.
I need to see her.

399
00:19:44,476 --> 00:19:46,756
- This is a private residence, ma'am.
- Okay, this is ridiculous.

400
00:19:46,822 --> 00:19:48,846
He has my daughter, and
I'm gonna get in there.

401
00:19:48,871 --> 00:19:50,322
Ma'am, we're gonna call the police.

402
00:19:50,347 --> 00:19:52,276
You know what? Call the
police. I want them here.

403
00:19:52,301 --> 00:19:53,946
- Give me my daughter.
- It's okay, it's okay.

404
00:19:53,970 --> 00:19:55,774
- No. No, no, no.
- It's okay, it's okay.

405
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,787
- Tell me what's happening.
- Kirkwood has my daughter,

406
00:19:57,811 --> 00:19:59,701
and nobody's fucking
helping me find her!

407
00:19:59,726 --> 00:20:00,765
And I don't know what to do

408
00:20:00,789 --> 00:20:01,828
- 'cause nobody's helping me.
- It's okay. Shh...

409
00:20:01,852 --> 00:20:03,937
- I just need...
- It's okay, it's okay.

410
00:20:04,664 --> 00:20:07,638
- Okay. Okay, okay. Okay.
- I got you. Don't you worry.

411
00:20:07,663 --> 00:20:09,078
Okay.

412
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,959
Let her in.

413
00:20:11,984 --> 00:20:14,352
She has no clearance, ma'am.
This is Mr. Chocolate's

414
00:20:14,377 --> 00:20:16,148
- personal space.
- Mm. Okay.

415
00:20:20,422 --> 00:20:21,959
Oh, shit.

416
00:20:22,979 --> 00:20:27,336
Ma'am, these are fake M16s
from the film War of God.

417
00:20:27,361 --> 00:20:29,565
Please don't shoot me.

418
00:20:30,401 --> 00:20:31,570
Go in, baby.

419
00:20:38,026 --> 00:20:39,963
Okay.

420
00:20:47,978 --> 00:20:50,147
Mr. Chocolate?

421
00:22:00,122 --> 00:22:01,604
Oh, hello.

422
00:22:04,851 --> 00:22:07,023
I was just writing on my "Key-iano."

423
00:22:07,652 --> 00:22:10,392
Scripts are like music to me.

424
00:22:12,041 --> 00:22:14,596
Steve Jobs made that for me.

425
00:22:17,267 --> 00:22:20,128
I think of him every time I write.

426
00:22:31,649 --> 00:22:33,330
Would you like a grit?

427
00:22:33,355 --> 00:22:35,071
Where's my daughter?

428
00:22:36,948 --> 00:22:38,358
She's right there.

429
00:22:38,383 --> 00:22:40,674
On the Mario Van Peebles Stage.

430
00:22:40,946 --> 00:22:42,917
By the time you get there,

431
00:22:44,018 --> 00:22:46,221
she'll have moved on
to the next scene...

432
00:22:47,826 --> 00:22:49,429
and the next stage.

433
00:22:49,454 --> 00:22:51,229
Where is the next stage?

434
00:22:54,397 --> 00:22:56,034
I don't know.

435
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,885
This whole operation

436
00:23:00,343 --> 00:23:01,979
runs on its own.

437
00:23:03,511 --> 00:23:05,548
I do not understand its...

438
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:08,225
wants and needs,

439
00:23:08,291 --> 00:23:10,307
nor do I control them.

440
00:23:11,090 --> 00:23:13,761
Chocolateland is my child.

441
00:23:14,794 --> 00:23:16,408
I protect her,

442
00:23:16,904 --> 00:23:18,406
guide her,

443
00:23:19,105 --> 00:23:21,074
but she is not my own.

444
00:23:25,207 --> 00:23:27,424
Have her say, "But I'm pregnant."

445
00:23:28,081 --> 00:23:31,037
But this is a kids' show, Mr. Chocolate.

446
00:23:31,062 --> 00:23:32,370
Thank you.

447
00:23:33,910 --> 00:23:35,384
I'm calling the police.

448
00:23:35,409 --> 00:23:37,180
I own the police.

449
00:23:37,591 --> 00:23:38,961
And most of College Park.

450
00:23:38,986 --> 00:23:40,522
You can't just take somebody's...

451
00:23:40,547 --> 00:23:42,551
I can do whatever I want!

452
00:23:42,862 --> 00:23:44,399
You break into my cube,

453
00:23:44,424 --> 00:23:47,369
shoot my guard, and then tell
me how to raise my child?!

454
00:23:47,394 --> 00:23:49,595
This is an open carry
state, Ms. Vanessa.

455
00:23:49,823 --> 00:23:51,487
You know, someone as you...

456
00:23:56,270 --> 00:23:58,049
I'm fine.

457
00:23:59,795 --> 00:24:01,721
Grits don't work on me.

458
00:24:02,834 --> 00:24:05,372
I've developed a
tolerance over the years.

459
00:24:06,441 --> 00:24:08,281
Oh, my God.

460
00:24:09,067 --> 00:24:10,878
You're a con man.

461
00:24:11,878 --> 00:24:15,125
You just make unrelatable
shit that takes advantage of the people

462
00:24:15,150 --> 00:24:17,688
- you say you're trying to help.
- Mr. Chocolate?

463
00:24:17,797 --> 00:24:19,536
Oh, my God. Baby? Baby!

464
00:24:19,561 --> 00:24:21,319
- It's an honor, sir.
- Are you okay?

465
00:24:21,344 --> 00:24:22,971
- Oh, so...
- Yeah, it was fun.

466
00:24:22,996 --> 00:24:26,790
- Everyone said that I was funny.
- Really? Are you okay?

467
00:24:26,815 --> 00:24:28,471
- Yeah.
- You okay?

468
00:24:28,743 --> 00:24:29,983
Uh, Ms. Keifer,

469
00:24:30,008 --> 00:24:32,156
- could you please sign this time sheet?
- Absolutely not.

470
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:35,366
"Unrelatable shit," you say.

471
00:24:36,935 --> 00:24:39,385
You know, I've been
watching you, Ms. Keifer.

472
00:24:41,473 --> 00:24:44,512
You're a single mother who can't
afford to feed your daughter.

473
00:24:44,754 --> 00:24:47,575
Phaedra is your "hip girlfriend."

474
00:24:47,661 --> 00:24:49,419
You have a "formally incarcerated,

475
00:24:49,444 --> 00:24:51,583
light-skinned love interest,"

476
00:24:52,733 --> 00:24:54,805
a "Christian, gun-toting grandmother,"

477
00:24:55,123 --> 00:24:56,900
and let me guess,

478
00:24:57,435 --> 00:24:59,339
you have a dark-skinned baby daddy?

479
00:24:59,404 --> 00:25:01,017
He's brown-skinned.

480
00:25:01,042 --> 00:25:02,654
And you threw grits at me.

481
00:25:04,084 --> 00:25:05,607
Unprovoked.

482
00:25:06,561 --> 00:25:08,307
Face it, Vanessa,

483
00:25:08,746 --> 00:25:10,573
you're a Kirkwood Chocolate woman.

484
00:25:13,770 --> 00:25:17,389
Well, maybe I am, but that
doesn't make you an artist.

485
00:25:17,414 --> 00:25:18,650
It doesn't.

486
00:25:18,865 --> 00:25:20,676
It makes me a philanthropist.

487
00:25:22,261 --> 00:25:24,162
And I'd like to make Lottie an offer.

488
00:25:24,187 --> 00:25:26,025
Six seasons of a children's show.

489
00:25:26,050 --> 00:25:27,643
That would make her financially stable

490
00:25:27,668 --> 00:25:28,940
until she was 20. What do you say?

491
00:25:28,964 --> 00:25:30,518
Well, I'm not like one of
those mothers downstairs

492
00:25:30,542 --> 00:25:31,922
that's gonna make their
daughter do something

493
00:25:31,946 --> 00:25:33,894
- they don't want to do.
- I want to do it.

494
00:25:34,777 --> 00:25:36,910
I want to be on Mr. Chocolate's show.

495
00:25:43,609 --> 00:25:44,846
No.

496
00:25:44,871 --> 00:25:46,407
- No! No!
- Lottie.

497
00:25:46,439 --> 00:25:47,556
Lottie. Please, Lottie.

498
00:25:47,603 --> 00:25:48,721
- She wants to stay.
- No!

499
00:25:48,746 --> 00:25:50,124
- She wants to stay.
- No!

500
00:25:50,148 --> 00:25:52,052
- She doesn't.
- No!

501
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,954
She can't be not-18 forever.

502
00:25:54,979 --> 00:25:57,070
Lottie. Please, Lottie.

503
00:25:57,095 --> 00:25:58,667
- We have to...
- I shall have her.

504
00:25:59,330 --> 00:26:02,526
She'll be "Spurned Woman Number
Eight" when I'm done with her!

505
00:26:02,551 --> 00:26:04,194
Lottie, please.

506
00:26:06,937 --> 00:26:09,329
I've lost a lot of blood,
Mikey. Could you please, um...

507
00:26:09,354 --> 00:26:11,635
- Could you call an ambulance?
- Oh, sir. Of course. Um...

508
00:26:22,054 --> 00:26:25,323
Lottie. Come here.

509
00:26:31,313 --> 00:26:33,751
Baby, I want to talk
about what happened, okay?

510
00:26:33,776 --> 00:26:35,100
No.

511
00:26:41,413 --> 00:26:44,187
I know you were having
a lot of fun today.

512
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,875
And...

513
00:26:47,828 --> 00:26:50,378
I'm really sorry that it
ended how it ended, hmm?

514
00:26:53,295 --> 00:26:55,633
But you represent something.

515
00:26:56,367 --> 00:26:59,921
And I know it isn't fair, but
what you do... it matters a lot.

516
00:27:00,248 --> 00:27:03,136
And... I just really
want you to be old enough

517
00:27:03,161 --> 00:27:05,431
to decide what you
want to represent, okay?

518
00:27:05,456 --> 00:27:08,104
'Cause I... I can't always protect you.

519
00:27:12,955 --> 00:27:14,604
I'm sorry.

520
00:27:17,389 --> 00:27:18,947
I'm really sorry.

521
00:27:21,134 --> 00:27:23,134
It shouldn't have happened like that.

522
00:27:32,698 --> 00:27:34,432
Oh. I love you, baby.

523
00:27:35,473 --> 00:27:37,057
You, too.

524
00:27:37,273 --> 00:27:39,644
I'm always gonna be here for you, okay?

525
00:27:40,299 --> 00:27:41,862
Okay.

526
00:28:03,484 --> 00:28:06,603
_

527
00:28:14,833 --> 00:28:16,558
I'm gonna make mac and cheese.

528
00:28:16,583 --> 00:28:18,004
Okay.
