A Boy. A Girl. A Dream. (2018) - full transcript

There's still
some key states

that we need
to keep our eyes on.

There's Michigan, Georgia,
Nevada, Iowa.

None of these
states have been called.

...at this hour, Donald Trump is
projected to win North Carolina.

This is a reliably
Republican state,

with the exception of 2008,

when the state
voted for Obama.

We just know that
we deserve to be in there,

and not sitting out here.

Hey, yo, listen. Y'all
know why my nickname is Rock?



'Cause you can always
lean on me.

What?

Oh, shit. Listen, listen.

We're gonna get drunk,
we're here to have a good time.

You know what I'm sayin'?

Listen, listen, what's the worst
Instagram account out there?

I think that's 'cause
y'all need to see it.

I got the best Instagram
account in the world.

He's like a cornerstone.

Yeah, I'm a cornerstone.

Listen, if you had my jacket--
Look, Cass...

Yeah, all right. Whatever.
I mean, what are you gonna do?

What do you mean,

What you gonna do, you just--

It's LA, there's taxis

So...

to the lame-ass Midwest,

that's where you from?
You a Midwest girl?

Oh. Says the 30-something
year-old promoter

Yeah, the one who knows

The girl says the guys running

Tell me what happened.

Those guys came up to me
they were trying to hit on me,

they were getting, like,
touchy-grabby, my boy came up,

and he told them, like,
to back up. The dude pushed him.

So when he pushed him, like,
the dude was aggressive first.

Cass Film, that is you, bro!

Either you or your twin!

Shit.

Um...

I said, I'm sorry about before.

You're sorry, what?

I said, I'm sorry about before.
In the bathroom.

It's OK.

Hey.

It's OK.

Yeah, you just pulled up right
in front of me.

Where...?

- Yeah, I'm here.
- Where are you going?

Anywhere but here.

You walkin'?

Let's go.

How you all doing?

Oh, man, OK.

It's been a tough night.

Thank you.

For what?

That was, uh...
that was cute.

- Cute?
- Yeah.

I'm a grown-ass man, woman.

Does that mean
you can't be cute?

Home to Detroit, Michigan,

Milwaukee and Wisconsin.

It could impede in what
the polls are saying right now.

Michigan and Wisconsin
are so close.

Um, just a really quick update
right now,

we have Hillary with New Mexico,
Virginia, Colorado, Oregon--

These are all
no surprises:

Hawaii, California,

Thank you for fighting for me.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

The least I could do.

We did not expect this race

to be this close,
that is for sure.

Brother, you need
some napkins?

I have napkins up here.

I'm fine.

What happened?

Ignorance.

That's what happened.
Let's just...

We don't need
to talk about it.

I know all about that one.

What you mean,
you know about all that?

What you know about all what?

My dad is Arabic.
I was raised Muslim, man.

I deal with it every day.

The Arabic part helps you out.

Hmm! Does it?

Trust me.

Yeah, tell that
to my fam, bro.

Yeah, you can't know what's it
like to wake up every...

every day, over and
over and over,

they disrespect you just because
of the color you were born in.

I ain't disrespectin' you.

I'm tellin' you.

The Arabic side helps you out.

Black man in America,

you gotta wake up and act like
the shit didn't happen.

So you can't know about it.

Man, my mom's black.

Try being a black man in America
every day, and then, uh..

being put on a terrorist list.

Your, uh, dad being stopped
for no reason, and, uh,

your cousins not being
able to come here.

It's like being
a black man in America.

This shit ain't OK.

Shit ain't OK, man.

No, the fuckin' shit ain't OK.

Hey.

Shit is not OK.

It's fucked up.

But you know what,
it's different.

It's different for you,
it's different for him,

it's different for me.

It's fucked up.

God.

Especially now.

It's fucking crazy.

Donald Trump
has always had money.

Do you think-- Listen,
people who are voting for him--

This is for the voters:
he has always had money.

He has never even known
anybody that is poor,

that's middle-class,
that's working class--

You OK?

I'm fine.

I mean, not really,
but I'm fine.

Just tired as shit.

Same old shit.

Every city, same old shit.

Yeah.

- Yeah.
- And he only cares now

because he wants your vote.

And if he wins tonight,

because of you, you're going
to find out very soon

that his interests
are not yours.

Welcome to L.A.

Shit. Welcome to America.

Yeah, that too.

Trump began
his unlikely bid

to the White House
in June 2015...

What do you want?

What?

What do you want?
Like, what do you really want?

Uh...

I mean, does it really matter,
what I really want?

It's not the movies, so...

What?

I mean, nobody ever gets
what they really want.

Says who?

Who told you that? Society?

Nah, man, it's just there's...

things that I know, and that's
one thing that I know.

And I ask again,
who told you that?

Everybody.

My mom, my sisters, my dad.

I mean, literally everybody.

Yeah, but you said
you were grown.

No. OK.

I am grown.
Let me put it this way.

My mom... she had things
that she wanted to do.

Things that she
was excited about.

She had kids

and then,

we came along and

she ain't get to
do those things.

So, how am I supposed to be
just completely irresponsible

and just go after

something that's crazy, like...

Just...

- Crazy?
- How can you do that?

Yes, crazy.

OK, so what...

What did you go after?

I'm a lawyer.

That's nice.

You hate it, huh?

That why you rockin'
the short crop

with the blond hair at the top?

- 'Cause you being rebellious?
- Nah.

Everybody needs a change.

Even lawyers, huh?

Even lawyers.

What's that look?

It's nothing.

No, it's something.
I mean, it's...

It's like it's different.
Like it changed.

What's that look?

I said it's fine.

No, I'm saying it's different.
Like, I'm, you know...

I'm a film director, so I--

OK, could you just
leave it alone, please?

I said it's fine.

My bad.

I make good money.

I own a condo and I'm able
to take care of my mom,

and she's the one
who supported all of us.

I'm good. I...

OK, so...

You got money in the bank.
That's dope.

What do you mean by that?

Like I said, it's dope.

You still didn't answer
my question, though.

Yes, I did.

No, you didn't. I asked you
what you really want.

And I said nobody ever gets
what they really want.

That ain't my life.

Oh.

So, what? What, you went
after the dream?

You went after what
you really wanted, so...

- Yeah
- I mean, what now?

I'm going after mine.

What you mean, "what now?"
I'm going after mine.

Are you?

Yeah.

What?

Nothing.

Hmm.

What do you really want to be?

I--

Go ahead. I'm listening.

Uh...

At one point...

I wanted to be a DJ.

You made me laugh.

- I made you laugh?
- No, I mean, in a good way.

That's cool.

- Word. A DJ.
- Like...

No, seriously though, like...

At all of my, like, little get-togethers
with my family and stuff,

I like to pull out
my Bluetooth speaker,

and like... I don't know.

- Like what?
- Just...

- Like what?
- Make people feel something.

You know?

Move them.

Make them think.

Or just have fun
for a little while.

Music does that for me.

Film does that for me.

Touché.

Well...
I don't know, you got...

a playlist? Spotify?

What?

Come on, you're old-school.
You got a mix-tape, right?

What?

- Nah, man.
- Yo, Naqeeb!

- That's your name, right?
- Yeah.

Um...

We got a DJ back here.

- Word?
- Yo.

- Yo!
- She got a mix-tape.

I do not have a mix-tape!

Let me--
Let me hear it!

I know you got headphones in
that purse, too. Come on.

Once a DJ, always a DJ.

Let it rip.

- Hold that.
- OK.

All right.

These things don't usually
do well with my ears.

- Well...
- I got little ears, but...

- Do you?
- Yeah, I do got little ears,

but hopefully your music
is big.

Oh, God...

- OK.
- All right. Let me know what you think.

I'm in.

- You're in?
- I'm in.

You go to the song
you want me to...

Uh... That one.

There we go.

For real?

For real?

Yo!

Lawyer?

Whatever.

Damn!

What's your DJ name?

What?

I ain't got a DJ name.

Yo, this is hot!

Your mama know
you're this good?

Exactly.

Yo.

Hmm.

- Yeah, this is it, man.
- OK.

That's good.

That's dope.

Yeah?

What's up?

What? You didn't like it?

Nah, it's incredible.

No, I mean, it was
incredible. Honestly.

I just, you know...

- My phone.
- I real-- Yeah.

- Right.
- You got a whole life back home,

and, look,
this is borrowed time.

OK... Look, I'm not
with him anymore.

It's-- It's none of
my business.

Oh, so you're not
seeing someone?

Yeah, I'm seeing everyone.

Oh, come on, man, don't be
like that. I saw you earlier.

I saw you on your phone
when I was walking up,

and you sounded like
you were all in love.

Yeah.

What? Now you don't remember?

Oh, OK.

But it's funny when you do it.

Rumi.

Rumi is my son.
He's five years old.

Oh.

Look, I understand that--

No, I don't think
you do understand.

You fought for me
the first day we met.

And he's only ever...

fought me.

And he's only fighting
for me now because I'm gone.

Oh, my God, that view.

Look at this.

Ohh!

So pretty.

- It's so quiet up here, eh?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Hmm.

Look up.

Oh, my God.

It's a full moon.

Shit.

Like a record.

Yeah.

Maybe it's a sign.

Maybe it is a sign.

Hmm.

God likes music too.

Oh, God loves music.

Wait. Where are we?

A friend's house.

Find ourselves here a lot.

After these kind of nights,
you know?

Mm-hmm.

Let's go check it out.

- Let's do it.
- OK.

Ah.

Oh, thank you.

This is it.

Let's go in. Oh!

Uh, anybody in here?

- Hey, what's up, Cass?
- You got it.

What's good with it?

- You all right?
- All good, man.

This is Free.

How you doing?
Nice to meet you too.

Donald Trump
absolutely needed it.

He got it and now,
as we talked about,

he has many different ways
to get to the 270 votes he needs

to be the next
President of the United States.

Clinton County had a surge

of Latino voters
in the state of Florida.

Looks like they actually did get
an increase in Latino turnout,

but it wasn't enough.

In Wisconsin
and, earlier in the night,

Michigan was blue,
and now they're undecided

and they're leaning
towards Trump

and so, that's a big upset,

stating that,
you know, Michigan...

Uh... I didn't expect
for this to be so...

Hey, guys.

But, thing is, if he keeps
winning this, mathematically,

she can't beat this shit out!

But she-- He can't win.
I mean that-- I mean...

Come on.

But I mean, if they--
Who didn't vote?

Like, who sat at home and
skipped out on this election?

'Cause I voted.

You're right. We all voted.

If she loses Pennsylvania,
it's a fucking wrap.

Radio silence in Brooklyn
right now at Clinton's party.

A place that was jubilant
and excited just hours ago,

now you can hear a pin drop.

That is not a good sign
for the Clinton camp.

I can only imagine
the devastation

going through Hillary Clinton's
mind right now...

We can leave if you want,
you know.

No, no, it's OK.

- Sure?
- Yeah.

All right. I'm gonna go...
make us a drink.

- OK
- All right.

- Whiskey? Wine?
- Wine. Something. Champagne.

We just heard
the list of states

where Hillary Clinton
would have to win

all those states
to have any chance...

What's up?

Good to see y'all, man.

- What's up, man?
- Got it.

What's up, K?

- Good to see you, my man.
- You good?

You know.

- All right.
- You know. I'm hanging in there.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Thanks for inviting us.

Of course!
Wait, that ain't me.

Russell invited y'all.

You're not drinking?

I had a little bit.

Now, I'm having
a little bit more.

That's a lot more.

Some big news here.

Huge news.
The AP now projecting

that Donald Trump has won
the state of Pennsylvania.

This is a breaking announcement

- from the Associated Press that cannot be underestimated.
- It's over!

This is 20 more electoral votes
for Donald Trump.

All the pundits--

This is breaking
everyone's expectation--

Honestly, I never thought that
that would happen...

Hey. How've you been?
Good to see you.

I can't believe what's
going on right now.

Crazy, right?

I'm gonna start throwing
parties out here and be done.

This is crazy!

It's fucking crazy!

What is happening
is so crazy!

We need to see this,
though.

Cass, what the fuck
is your girl doing?

- Wait, what's
- Turn it back on!

Wait, wait, wait.

- Can you turn back on the TV?
- Listen, listen, listen, like,

I know we're all
watching this right now,

I know we're all caught up
in this right now,

but I think like, we just
need to take a moment.

We just need to feel good,
like--

It's the election
though!

This is fucking crazy.
I know! I know!

But we need a minute, y'all!

We need a minute to feel good.

We want to watch history...

But we don't need
to watch this history.

We need to think
about our history.

We need to think about life,
we need to just...

- feel good, y'all.
- But I am thinking about--

Hey, yo! Hold on.

- Give her a second.
- This is consuming us.

Ma, go do your thing. Do your
thing. Play your-- Play your...

Thank you.

Yeah, I hate it. Hey Cass!
Come get her, man!

Hey, come on, man.

Get out of here!

Turn the TV back on.

Grab her. Grab her.
Dance with her.

Just dance. Just da-- Hey!

Hey! Just dance. Grab her.

Whatever, I mean...

The world is not
dancing, man.

- Might as well, you know?
- I know. Hell. Yeah.

Watch your drink.

It is, but I mean, you know,

it's not the end
of the world, y'all.

It is
the end of the world!

Cass!

It's good.

It's good what you did.
Hey, hey, hey.

Really! Don't worry about it.

You did good.

You see,
they're hugging each other.

Yeah.

They're dancing. Look.

He's dancing.

You good?

All right.

Sorry!

- Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
- Hey, hey, hey.

Don't worry about it.
Come on. Let's go outside.

Come on, let's go.

Wait! Wait!

You turn the thing off and now
you're leaving with the music?

We're going
upstairs for a bit.

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Love y'all.

Turn the election back on!

Hey, I'm sorry Cass!

...those 20
electoral votes

get Trump to 264, six away--

I like her haircut!

Man...

That was crazy.

Yeah, it was crazy.
Watch your step.

We need that, man.

- Yeah.
- We need that.

Hey.

- I want to show you something.
- Wait. Huh?

Ugh!

- Let me show you something.
- Sorry, what were you saying?

No, take that. Just take it.

- No, take it, take it. It's OK.
- I'm sorry.

It's all right.

Hello?

What?

Yo, yo, yo, yo.
Look, it's--

What are you talking about?

Yeah, well, that was like...
That was your whole thing.

Like, that's your own problem,
like...

Yeah, but why are you
stressing me out like this?

It's so annoying, like...

Seriously? Seriously? Now? Now?

Now you're feeling bad? Like...

Dude, what are you
talking about? Like...

Why are you stressing me out
for nothing?

Ugh! Are you serious?
Like, really? Really?

All right, well, I gotta go.

I gotta go!

Hey.

So?

Uh, man.

I had a great time.

I had a lot of fun tonight.

Probably about that time, right?

You gotta get going?

- What?
- You gotta--

Wait, wait, what were you
about to show me?

- Nah, it's nothing.
- No, tell me.

You got a flight
to catch, right?

Come on, man.
What were you about to show me?

It's nothing.

Seriously?

- Just show me, like...
- No, it's nothing.

What?

Yo!

All right, then we'll just give up
'cause I can see that you already have.

What'd you say to me?

What about that script
that actress asked about?

Your film that
everybody's waiting to see?

It's all over you, like...

You came out here
to do something.

Are you just giving up?

Says the lady who...

You're not even trying to
follow your dream.

Give me a break.

What do you mean?

What do I mean? You're not
trying to follow your dream.

You're living all safe,

you go back to your little
comfy, boredom,

basic... what,
nine to five?

You kidding me?
Telling me I'm giving up?

Fuck outta here.

- Come on.
- Oh. OK.

So, now you know my life.

- Yeah, I do.
- You do? You know my life?

- Really?
- Yeah, yeah, 'cause I live here.

The city of dreams, right?

People be like,
"Girl, let's go to LA!

Let's go to New York!
Let's go to Miami, but, whoa,

let's not go too crazy, like,
let's not get free."

What you're trying to say?
You're free?

- Yeah.
- Are you free?

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Really?
- Yeah, really.

I'm getting mine, yeah.

You think so?

Mm-hmm, yeah,
I see you getting yours.

You know what's crazy to me?
I think, um...

I think you're safer than I am.

I think the closest that
you've come to feeling alive

is trying to fuck a girl named
Free in the club bathroom.

So, yeah, I see you.
I see you getting yours.

I'm sorry.

I saw that kid, earlier.

I saw how he looked at you.

He admired you.

Hey.

What do you really want?

- What happened?
- Nothing happened.

Nothing happened, all right?

Nothing. Nothing happened.

Everything's always
fucking happening.

I get tired of
fighting every day.

I fight every day.
That's my occupation.

I fight every day.

That's what happened.

He really did a number
on you, huh?

Hey.

Oh, my God!
He did not just win!

He did not just win!

Trump is fucking
president.

Oh...

Wow.

Oh...

Geez...

I'll follow you.

Shit.

Hey, hey, y'all!
Hey, hey, hey.

Everybody knows what
it's like to fight.

We've all fuckin'
have fought before.

Everybody knows what
it feels like to struggle.

Uh, struggle to be loved,

to love, to work,
to be free.

So, uh...

we're still fighting, right?

Tonight proves
that it's not different.

So now we know we just got
more work to do.

That means you too, huh?

What?

That means you too.

What you're saying is you got
more work to do, too, right?

Yeah, Ray.

Real work that we all know
you can do.

- I said, "Yeah."
- Yeah.

- All right.
- That means me, too.

Handle your business, Cass.

Let's go.

Oh, man...

Ohh...

Doesn't look as bright
as it was before.

Yeah.

Oh, well...

Naqeeb...
you're still here.

Yeah, I got, uh...

stuck listening to all of this.

I would've been
a danger on the road, so...

I didn't drive.

Understood.

What is it, man?

How could you not be,
man?

You guys leaving?

You want some company?

Yeah.
Could use some of that.

So how about I order it
and then you--

No, man. I got you.

Nah, it's cool. I can--

Nah.
Where you all goin'?

Hop in.

Goin' to Mel's.

- I got you.
- All right.

Thank you.

Of course.

- You said "Mel's", right?
- Yeah.

Donald Trump,
after the election's,

president-elect
of the United States.

And then Clinton headquarters
in New York City

stand on baited breath
waiting for the final word,

that there may
still be a chance,

but all they get instead
is a simple statement

from Chairman John Podesta,

saying, "We're not going to have
anything to say tonight.

Get some sleep.
We're so proud of you--"

Naqeeb, you can turn the heat
down a little bit.

Of course.

"She's not done yet."

I'm at a loss for words.

I digress,
I go to my listeners.

Caller one?

It's kinda funny saying "Turn
the heat down in Los Angeles."

He's waving
to the public.

There's no question--

It's kind of a cold night,
though.

Understand.

...misogyny, homophobia,
the bigotry...

This is what we've seen
in real time

and through history
with this guy,

when he was kicking black people
out of their homes in New York,

when he was piling up

the sexual assault cases
from these young women,

a lot of them are probably still
scared to say anything.

But what's deeper than that,
Tim, what's deeper than that,

what I'm worried about is what's
happening to our country.

What's happening to the people,

to the children,

because of a guy like that...

Say what you will
about Obama,

but he won by people
coming together

and believing
in something bigger.

I remember that day
and I know you do, too.

Trump? Trump will not heal.

It was his appeal.

And now,
this country's more divided

than I've ever seen in my life.

My job...

we represent bad people.

There's too many
bad people winning.

...just lying
and hateful and violent--

Too many bad people winning.

And I'm afraid.

Can't say it better.

Sums it up.

God.

Dig even deeper
than that and what do we have?

We have, what, the-the massacre

of our-our Native...
Native American Indians?

Dig deeper.
What about slavery?

And the confiscation
of our native peoples' land?

He made
America hate again.

This country is called "the
United States," for a reason.

Think about that.

The first name in our country
is "United".

And, I'm sorry,

we're more divided than ever.

And I don't know
what's gonna change it.

That's all I gotta say.
Thank you.

Oh, my goodness.

Rob, I'm happy to know

there are people like you
out there in the world.

That this is what makes
America great.

You OK?

I will be.

Trump promised
to build a separate wall

between the southern border
and Mexico.

Bringing back
manufacturing jobs--

Feel bad for the children
that have to...

Say the first president
was this guy.

What are you thinking?

Was thinking how
I named my son after...

my favorite poet.

Or how excited I was to, um--

when he was old enough
to understand it.

Yeah, Rumi was one of our
great writers.

I was thinking how

there would be nothing better
right now than for my kid

to write a poem, so...

Oh, man...

I always tell him
that he's smart,

he's strong and he's loving.

If he's anything like,
you, then he is.

It's nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you, too.

You know what, Free?

It's safe to say
I'm starting to remember

why I moved out here.

Why?

So the good people
can win for once.

The good people
can win for one.

Amen.

Naqeeb, you want anything?

Nah, I'm good, man.
Thank you.

God bless you.

As-Salaam-Alaikum.

Wa-Alaikum-Salaam.

Is this...?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wow...

Wow.

- What are you thinking?
- I mean...

I need to see this.

- Like, I need to see that.
- But it's not--

The full-length version
of that!

- It's a rough-- Gotta edit it--
- No. No! No, seriously.

Like, you need to send that.

Send the script.

It's just--
It's not finished--

Send the script to the actress
from the club.

Just send it to her.
Send it as is.

Go for it. Like...

Like... do you understand

how important this is now?

And how important art is?

This is everything,
this is our voice,

this is who we are.

This is all we have left.

This is important, man, like...

Just let me clean it up first.

No, man.

You need to send that.

You need to send that.
Like, you need to send that!

Seriously.

This is everything.

- Yeah?
- Whoa.

Oh, with everything
that's going on,

the fucking shit
we're dealing with, like...

we got nothing else.

We got our voice.

We got what we put
into the world.

We got purpose, we got...

We can inspire.

It can really change things.

- You really think so?
- I really do.

I really, really--

I really do.

- You're not bullshitting me?
- No.

All right.

You send that,

get this thing going,

and I'll, um...

I'll cancel my flight.

I'll stay.

- No, for real, like, I'll--
- You wouldn't do that.

--cancel my flight. I'll quit
my fucking job and stay.

You crazy.

You're for real.

Send it.

My flight is right here.

Send it.

Send it.

One...

two...

three.
