04:16yeah
04:33yeah
04:35All right, see, Curtis, now, listen, you've done all the hard work already.
04:39You've gone into the lab.
04:41You've developed great sauces and great recipes using those sauces, huh?
04:45So now it's time to...
04:47Time to make that moulin.
04:48Well, there you go.
04:49Now it's all about creating a foolproof business plan, huh?
04:54You see, I'm not good at that point.
04:56That's okay.
04:57That's why you need a good, strong partner in business, see?
05:01When one is not strong, the partner steps in, fills in those gaps.
05:06Oh, yeah.
05:07That's what Floyd does, usually, most of the time.
05:09I didn't mean to talk to you about Floyd.
05:11What's his experience in business?
05:13Oh, Floyd's had a ton of businesses.
05:15Yeah, he had a barbershop, plumbing business, janitorial business, prepaid legal.
05:21Any of those businesses make money?
05:22Oh, hell no.
05:24He's broken even, and usually he loses money.
05:29I really think you need to reconsider your business relationship with Floyd.
05:35Oh, Miss Ella.
05:36Mm-hmm.
05:36Hey.
05:37Hello, Mr. Fields.
05:38Can I get you anything?
05:39Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you.
05:41Baby, Q. Anthony is teaching me so much, I feel like I'm in school.
05:46Where's Floyd?
05:47He should be here to hear all of this, don't you think?
05:50Oh, yeah.
05:51I guess I could have called him.
05:52Mm-hmm.
05:52Oh, I called Curtis.
05:54I wanted him to meet my business partners.
05:56They wanted to meet the creator.
05:59This wasn't a meeting for Floyd.
06:00Well, Floyd is Curtis's business partner.
06:04Curtis, call Floyd.
06:06Mm-hmm.
06:08Hey, where are you going, babe?
06:10I am going to help glow with some mailers.
06:12She's trying to keep her job.
06:14She's campaigning to keep her job as HOA president.
06:17Uh, you know, they're having a whole lot of drama down there.
06:20Still?
06:21Mm-hmm.
06:22And all this from the little Bible study you added out?
06:24Well, Curtis, you think it's the Bible study, but it's really Elizabeth Wellington.
06:28She has it in for glow.
06:30Always has.
06:31That lady is really something.
06:33Uh, anyway, I'm going to let you all get back to your meeting.
06:36All right, babe.
06:38All right.
06:38Great seeing you again, Ella.
06:40Likewise.
06:43Okay, where were we?
06:44Oh, uh, we were talking about, uh, lots of money.
06:48That's right.
06:49That's right.
06:50That's right.
06:50That's right.
06:51That's right.
06:51And you want to make lots of lots of moolahs.
06:56Good morning, Jazzy.
06:58Good morning, pumpkin.
06:59What's good about it?
07:00Uh-uh.
07:02What happened?
07:03Did Malik stash Malik's diapers in your trash can again?
07:07You better not have.
07:08And they need to watch what they feeding that child.
07:12Did the twins steal your earpods again?
07:14Is that what keeps happening to my earpods?
07:17Never mind.
07:18Mom, Dad, y'all need to start controlling all these doggone kids in this house.
07:24Okay?
07:24I'm sick of it.
07:26You sick of it?
07:26You sick of it.
07:27I'm sick of it.
07:27Okay.
07:28Let me tell you what I'm sick of, okay?
07:30All these grown kids still living in my house.
07:34Daddy, that's me.
07:35No, that's not me.
07:36That's real.
07:38Mom, don't encourage Dad, please.
07:39His jokes aren't funny.
07:40No, these are not jokes.
07:42Okay?
07:42Why did the chicken cross the road?
07:44That's a joke.
07:45You, Malik, and Lisa still living in my house?
07:48These are not jokes.
07:49Okay.
07:49Baby, just take a moment and breathe.
07:51Oh, you want me to breathe?
07:52I do.
07:53I need you to breathe.
07:53See, I can't breathe.
07:54Why?
07:54You know why?
07:55Why?
07:55Because all these grown-ass kids done sucked up all my damn oxygen.
08:02Jazzy, baby, what has you doubting the beauty of this good day?
08:08Jackson.
08:11Jackson?
08:12Mm-hmm.
08:12Who's Jackson?
08:14You remember that kid that almost got me to fail Dr. Hutton's class?
08:17Because he cheated off of me?
08:18Oh.
08:19Oh, him?
08:20Mm-hmm.
08:20What about him?
08:21Well, now he's in my field reporting class and my media group.
08:24They didn't kick that boy out of school?
08:26No, he's on probation.
08:27So now you have to work with him?
08:30Mm-hmm.
08:30Is there something you can do?
08:31Can't you, I don't know, protest or something?
08:34I tried.
08:35Well, a professor wants me to work through things with him.
08:37She said it's good exercise to work with people I don't like,
08:40as opposed to always working with people I do like.
08:43And I don't like Jackson.
08:44Well, your professor is not wrong.
08:46Mm-mm.
08:47I don't like it.
08:47I don't know.
08:48Mm-mm.
08:48And I don't like that Jackson either.
08:50See?
08:51We on the same page.
08:52How you gonna not like the kids?
08:53I ain't like what he did, so I don't like him.
08:56He called me a square, Daddy.
08:57You heard that.
08:59Bye, y'all.
08:59Bye, baby.
09:00You better stop.
09:00You better stop.
09:01The truth is the truth.
09:02We raised her to be a strong black woman.
09:04Yeah, she's strong, but you raised her to be like you.
09:09QF me.
09:10I gotta tell you, brother.
09:12I am really excited.
09:14I'm excited, man.
09:15I mean, who'd have thought I'd have a whole new career after my retirement?
09:19Well, listen, listen, listen.
09:20Don't feel like you have to run from your first career.
09:23Build on it.
09:24Hmm?
09:25Okay, well, what do you mean?
09:27Well, I mean, people know you as the fire chief, right?
09:29Yeah.
09:30Now I want to be known as the sauce boss.
09:32Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, so.
09:33But why not use your fireman career to fuel where you are right now?
09:39Huh?
09:39Build on what's already been built.
09:42Okay, I'm not following you.
09:44Okay, listen.
09:45I've been meaning to talk to you about the name of your business and the name of your products.
09:50Oh, that way, you all like the name?
09:51The sauce boss?
09:52Floyd came up with that.
09:53I think we can find something stronger.
09:55Okay.
09:56Okay.
09:56Yeah.
09:57Yeah, much stronger.
09:58Hello, Mr. Fields.
09:59Hey.
10:00Hello, sauce boss.
10:01Hey, babe.
10:02I like that name.
10:04Yeah.
10:04Well, Q Anthony thinks we can come up with something just, you know, most stronger.
10:08Curtis, sauce boss sounds strong.
10:11What is stronger than a boss?
10:13Well, sir, I see where you're going there, but I just think we need to explore all options.
10:19Well, what does Floyd think about it?
10:21Where's Floyd?
10:22Oh, Q Anthony called him.
10:24He was busy today.
10:25Okay.
10:26Okay.
10:27As long as someone called him and included him.
10:29Oh, yeah.
10:31Curtis, what do you think about Chief Payne's firehouse smoke sauce?
10:38Huh?
10:39Huh?
10:40Hiss me right here.
10:41Yeah?
10:41Like that?
10:42Now I see what you're saying about building on your own career.
10:46Right, right, right.
10:47I get it.
10:47Remember when I said that people love a good business story?
10:50They love a good story in business.
10:52Yes, sir.
10:52That's what I'm talking about right there.
10:54You have a great story.
10:56You see, I never thought about that.
10:58There it is.
10:59Man, I'm talking about it like that.
11:01See, I'm just holding it.
11:04Floyd!
11:05Hey, yo.
11:06I thought you were busy all day.
11:08Me?
11:09No, I've been at home bored as hell.
11:12See, Curtis, come on.
11:14Come on in.
11:15Okay, all right.
11:16Good seeing you, too.
11:17Uh-huh.
11:17What's up, Cesar?
11:19Mr. Lloyd.
11:19All right.
11:21Q Anthony?
11:22Floyd?
11:23Q Anthony.
11:24Um, what's going on here?
11:29Oh, yeah, Floyd.
11:31Q Anthony got some great ideas about taking the business to a whole new level.
11:36Uh-huh.
11:37Uh, what was that you were saying about Floyd was busy?
11:41You called him and he was busy all day?
11:44Yeah.
11:44The devil is a lie.
11:46Ain't nobody calling me.
11:49Well, Floyd, calm down.
11:50It's okay.
11:51I ain't calmed up.
11:52You can check my phone log if you like.
11:54No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
11:54That's, that's, that's, that's not even necessary.
11:56Yeah, but you're here now.
11:58Yeah.
11:58Yeah, but I really want to know what happened and how that happened, Curtis.
12:03Oh, who knows?
12:03You know, I had my office reach out to you, Floyd, and, uh, they said you were busy.
12:07Uh, ain't nobody called me.
12:09Well, that's weird.
12:11Really?
12:12Sylvia, you know what?
12:13I got a new girl in my office.
12:15I'm going to have to get on her about that.
12:17You need to get on Sylvia's lying ass.
12:20So, uh, y'all like having a meeting or something?
12:23Oh, yeah.
12:24QF has got some really good ideas that'll take our business to a whole next level.
12:29Yeah.
12:30What were you saying?
12:31You were saying, oh, he doesn't like the name Sauce Boss.
12:36Change it.
12:37Mm.
12:38I, I, I came up with the name Sauce Boss.
12:40Uh, yeah, that's, that's what, uh, Curtis said.
12:42Mm-hmm.
12:42Yeah, well, what's wrong with the name?
12:44Oh, well, nothing's wrong with it, but, uh, in, in business, you want to use everything you have as an
12:51angle, right?
12:52You know, Curtis, you, you started off as a fireman for, for so long.
12:57Then you became the chief, right?
13:00Mm-hmm.
13:00I'm saying we can build on all of that information, right?
13:03Let's, let's, let's say like, uh, uh, fire chief, three alarm fire, spicy smokehouse sauce.
13:09Mm?
13:10Mm-hmm, see, mm-hmm, see, I like the way you think, man.
13:13See, people love a cool story.
13:16Listen, listen, the, the, the, the fire, fireman who, who became a barbecue expert, that's a, that's a feel-good
13:25community story.
13:26All, all about, uh, uh, the neighborhood guy who starts a small business and wins.
13:34I like that.
13:35Mm-hmm.
13:35What you think, Floyd?
13:37It's a good idea.
13:37Yeah, but, uh, Sauce Boss has been doing well enough as it is.
13:41Right.
13:42What about the fact that there are people who identify with the original brand and they like it?
13:48Well, rebranding happens all the time.
13:50You know, any, any, any time a business wants to expand or go to a higher level, you know, that,
13:54that's what they do.
13:55Yeah.
13:55But, but, but don't, don't worry, the winning product is still the same.
13:59Curtis' amazing recipes are still in the driver's seat, baby.
14:06Q. Anthony Fields, everybody.
14:08Huh?
14:09Ladies and gentlemen, Q. Anthony Fields.
14:12Come on now, business personified.
14:14Curtis.
14:15You heard me?
14:15Baby, baby.
14:17See, it's the sauce that drives the bus.
14:20It's the sauce.
14:27I wish I could take the bus and drive over his ass.
14:31Let's see.
14:44Hi, Professor Davidson.
14:45Come here.
14:46Hi, Jasmine.
14:47I'm glad I was able to catch you.
14:49Oh, me too.
14:50And this is my day off, so it's perfect.
14:52Great.
14:53Uh, do you want something to drink?
14:54Oh, I'm fine.
14:55Okay.
14:56So, I received your email.
14:58Right.
14:59I hope it wasn't too harsh.
15:01Oh, they were harsh.
15:02What was the line that got me?
15:04Hmm.
15:04He's an untrustworthy, conniving, sniveling snell, I think it was.
15:09That's right.
15:10It's the best I could do.
15:11I don't curse.
15:13Well, good.
15:14I like that you don't curse.
15:15Do you mind if I have a seat?
15:17Oh, no, of course.
15:18You're way too pretty to have a potty mouth.
15:22Anyway, I couldn't respond to your email in written form.
15:27I thought it would be best that we talk in person.
15:29Oh, um, Professor Davidson, these are my parents.
15:33This is my dad, Chief Payne.
15:35Hi there.
15:35Hi.
15:36Call me CJ.
15:37Nice to meet you, CJ.
15:38And this is my beautiful mother, Janine.
15:41Nice to meet you, Janine.
15:42Great to meet you.
15:43So, um, she read my email about Jackson.
15:47Oh.
15:47Oh, yes.
15:48We are very, very glad that you chose to swing by.
15:50We've been pretty concerned about this.
15:52Oh, I'm sure.
15:53Uh, Jackson cheated off of Jasmine previously, so it almost got her in a lot of trouble.
15:57Yeah, I heard.
15:58That was not his best day.
16:00Hmm.
16:01So I really don't want to have anything to do with him.
16:03Oh, I understand that.
16:05And look, I can't make you do anything you don't want to do.
16:09Thank you, Professor.
16:10That's such a relief.
16:11I'll show you how.
16:12Okay, okay.
16:12Hold on.
16:13Let the professor finish.
16:15So, Jackson has joined our department and your class.
16:19Would you like to have a seat?
16:21Thanks.
16:23Um, I'm just a little confused.
16:25Why wasn't he expelled?
16:26Well, at the university, plagiarism is not an expulsion, but it is a disciplinary probation.
16:33The university believes in helping students learn and grow when they make a mistake.
16:38I've met with Jackson and his family, and I believe that this young man is good, but that he did
16:44a bad thing.
16:45I have decided not to define him by this one moment.
16:49Now, I know we live in a cancel culture, but sometimes us human beings make mistakes.
16:54Well, with all due respect, he picked the wrong one to make a mistake with.
16:57If I were you, I'd probably feel the same way.
17:00And look, if you don't want him to participate in your group, I will see who else he can work
17:06with, or I will have him work alone.
17:08Oh, that's great.
17:09Thank you, Professor.
17:10But I would challenge you in this moment to consider extending an opportunity for him to apologize to you,
17:17and you to decide if you can consider working with him this semester.
17:21That is one big challenge.
17:23Mm-hmm.
17:24Just sleep on it.
17:27Jasmine?
17:30That'll be one long sleep, but I'll think about it.
17:36Great.
17:37It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. and Mrs. Payne.
17:40You have raised an amazing young lady.
17:44And she's lucky to have you.
17:45I can't wait to hear your decision, Jasmine.
17:48Thanks, Professor.
17:49Mm-hmm.
17:50Take care.
17:50You too.
17:51I can't wait to hear your decision.
18:00Curtis.
18:02Hey, babe.
18:03Hey, babe.
18:04Floyd is here.
18:06Oh, hey, Floyd.
18:07Curtis.
18:08All righty.
18:10I'm going to let you two business partners talk.
18:13Okay.
18:14Mm-hmm.
18:15Okay.
18:24Okay.
18:24What now, Floyd?
18:26What do you mean, what now?
18:29Well, I mean, I can always tell when you upset and emotional.
18:32I am not emotional.
18:35Okay.
18:36You're doing good.
18:37What's on your mind?
18:39I just don't appreciate the fact that you having meetings behind my back.
18:43There.
18:44Floyd, you're my business partner.
18:46QF, he just, he's got a lot of good ideas.
18:49Hey, you act like he the only one that got good ideas.
18:52I got good ideas, too, Curtis.
18:54Yes, you do.
18:55You do it, and I appreciate that.
18:56That's why I wasn't in the business with you.
18:58Yeah.
18:59I just feel like we don't need him, and I think he can just go to hell.
19:04Floyd, I want us both to win, okay?
19:07QF has got experience, a proven track record, and money.
19:11Okay, he can help us go to the next level.
19:14Mm-hmm.
19:15I got a good feeling about him, Floyd.
19:18I just don't think we need him, Curtis.
19:21Well, I think we should entertain him, Floyd.
19:24Okay.
19:25Well, let's just go ahead and read the book,
19:26and then we can go tell him to go fly a kite.
19:29Floyd, in business, it's best not to reinvent the wheel.
19:36I see you've been reading again, huh?
19:38That's chapter three.
19:39Yes.
19:41So let's take advantage of what he already knows.
19:45All right.
19:46We can entertain him for a little while.
19:50Okay, good.
19:51I say we just work with him, and then if we don't like it,
19:55and we don't want to work with him anymore,
19:57we can tell him to go fly a kite.
20:00Is that a deal?
20:05Deal.
20:07Deal.
20:11Oh, this is terrible.
20:13Oh, I think it's great.
20:15Daddy, why?
20:16What am I supposed to do?
20:18Well, I know how you feel, all right?
20:19So if it was me, I would personally have to walk right back.
20:21No, just a second.
20:22No, no.
20:22I would have to go back into the office and let her know that this was...
20:25Babe, babe, babe.
20:26She...
20:26That's...
20:27It's not you, okay?
20:29It's Jasmine.
20:30She's rolling up now.
20:31She's going to have to make her own decisions.
20:33Okay?
20:33But, Dad...
20:38What do adults do?
20:39Your dad's right.
20:40Sleep on it.
20:43Always go with your heart, baby.
20:45But I ain't got no heart when it comes to this dude.
20:48No, I think you do.
20:50I think you do have a heart for him,
20:51and that's why you're so conflicted.
21:16I think you do.
