Bob Hearts Abishola (2019–…): Season 4, Episode 1 - Episode #4.1 - full transcript
Previously, on
"Bob Hearts Abishola"...
I am your new pastor,
Joseph Falade.
And I wanted
to sit with you to show you
that I am not a prophet.
I am just a man.
A man with a theology degree
from Harvard
and this wonderful
handmade suit.
It seems the pastor
has taken a liking
to a certain married member
of his flock.
Who?
Mummy, is that a new dress?
It is.
I like to look my best...
for God.
We're all set.
The rest of the team's
ready to meet you.
I appreciate you getting me
this interview.
Oh, are you kidding?
They are gonna love you.
This is the right move, Goodwin.
Yes, it is.
I have never heard your
mother giggle before.
Me, neither.
I was 15 the first time
I saw her smile with teeth.
And now the pastor
has probably seen
every molar in her mouth.
Can you blame her?
He's a charming guy.
Every time he talked, I felt
like he was looking right at me.
I also felt like his
eyes were following me.
Like the Mona Lisa.
Or those cat clocks.
Your mother is drooling
over the pastor
like a plate
of chin chin.
If this gets out,
we will be forced
to find a new church.
I should've known something was
up when Ebun showed cleavage.
That is my thing.
It is our thing.
You giggle
like your sister.
Hello, Ogechi.
The pastor
and a married woman.
What will people say?
Perhaps we should keep
this to ourselves.
Perhaps.
Or perhaps not.

Season 04 Episode 01
Episode Title:
"Touched by a Holy Hand (Part 1)"
Aired on:
September 19, 2022.
- E kaale, Mumm.
- Kaale.
You are going out?
Yes.
Bible study.
You are taking wine?
It is the blood of Christ.
His blood is a sparkling rosé?
Why are you questioning me?
I am just worried, Mummy.
Worried about what?
You are a married woman.
People are talking.
Are you one of these
"talking" people?
Of course not.
Good.
Because it is none
of your business.
E kaale, Mummy.
Granny.
Where have you been?
I was studying at Jason's house.
What do you even know
about this Jason?
We're in class together.
And his mom's a dentist.
You cannot just rush
into studying with somebody.
Have you even thought
about your old study partner
and how he would feel
if he knew you were
studying with Jason?
No.
Exactly.
You cannot just go out all night
studying and carrying on.
It's 5:30.
How dare you talk back to me.
Go to your room.
And think about
what you are doing
to this family.
Yes, Mum.
You let that boy get away
with far too much.
Where do you go to church?
First Lutheran.
Every Sunday.
Do you enjoy the services?
Oh, yes, the best
four hours of my week.
Four hours?
I'll take my chances in hell.
I need your signature
for payroll.
I hope you remembered
to pay yourself.
Amusing every time.
And one more for your records.
What's this?
My resignation.
Thank you for the last 30 years.
Wait, you're serious?
Yes, Mr. Wheeler.
I wish you continued success.
No, huh-uh, no.
I have thought about this
decision for quite some time,
and it is not one
I take lightly.
Please, Goodwin, don't do this.
Mr. Wheeler, do not make
this harder than it is.
You can't go. We're a team.
Like Lennon and McCartney,
Hall and Oates, Wheeler and...
How do you say your last name?
Olayiwola.
Yeah, that.
Goodbye, Mr. Wheeler.
Aw, just sit down,
let's talk about this.
It is too late.
I have already accepted
another job at Toesey Woesies.
My sister stole you?
If you call offering me
a higher-paying job
with better prospects stealing,
then yes.
- How could you do this to me?
- Sir...
as long as you are here,
I can never be promoted.
I knew I had to leave
when I found myself
wishing for your death.
That's okay. I wish
for my death all the time.
I am sorry, Mr. Wheeler.
Oh, don't be sorry,
just stay.
Wheeler and Olayiwola.
See, I said it. I can change!
The tea is delicious, thank you.
Y-You are welcome.
What is it, oolong?
Yes.
It is funny.
I prefer a breakfast tea.
Even at dinnertime.
Oh, just get on with it, Ogechi!
I would rather
take things slow.
Unlike your
loose-moraled sister.
I do not know
what you are talking about.
Ebun is a respectable,
pious woman.
Oh, yes, I have no doubt
she has been touched
by a holy hand.
What is it you want, Ogechi?
I want to help you keep this
from becoming a scandal.
You are the only
other person who knows.
So just don't tell anyone.
That is not going to happen.
Unless...
Unless?
I have always wanted
to run the potluck.
Olu runs the potluck.
I have always wanted
to run the potluck.
Done.
And I want my son,
Chukwuemeka,
on the Deacon board.
- But he is just a boy!
- Tunde.
Do not fight her.
It's all right.
I like knowing it upsets him.
Fine.
I will put him
on the Deacon board.
And let that be the end of it.
Of course,
thank you.
Now, let's talk
Christmas seating.
Great, yes.
That's the new campaign.
With every pair of socks
we sell,
Toesey Woesies will donate
a pair to a homeless person.
So we get a tax break
and free advertising
whenever people drive
through an underpass.
Call you back.
Hey, big brother,
what's up?
Ah, you remember
we're related.
- That's encouraging.
- Okay, look.
Before you say anything,
you need to know,
Goodwin came to me.
And you didn't come to me.
Mm... no.
What the hell?
I've always supported you.
Even when you went
to work for a competitor.
I know. Mom wanted to
have you institutionalized.
Bob, this isn't personal.
A talented executive asked
to join my company.
It'd be bad business
to turn him away.
Oh, so this is
just business to you?
Our family means nothing.
- Can I tell you a secret?
- Yeah.
Less than nothing.
What happened to you?
What happened
to the sweet little girl
I used to take for ice cream?
Oh, she gets
her own ice cream now,
'cause she's the boss bitch.
Oh, you know who you sound like?
- The boss bitch?
- No.
The boss bitch
from whence we came.
Don't you dare.
Oh, yeah, it's like I'm looking
at you, but I'm talking to Mom.
You shut up.
I'm not anything like her!
Listen to yourself.
Get out of here, Bobby!
Oh, my God. Get out!
Bye, Mom.
What have I become?
I could book my mother
a Caribbean cruise.
She'd be away from the pastor
for two weeks.
So she can meet
another lover?
You know what women of her
age do in the Caribbean.
They get their groove back.
I say let
your mom have some fun.
Sounds like a harmless flirt.
"Harmless" would have
been getting herself
somebody from outside
of the church.
Do not poop where you pray.
She's a married woman.
She should not
be pooping at all.
- You said it was a loveless marriage.
- Yes.
That's why I told her
she could stay in America.
So you just wanted her
to sit in your guest room
alone and miserable forever?
No, I was hoping eventually she
would get a place of her own.
Ladies, please.
We all agree this is
Abishola's fault.
Huh?
But the question is,
what are we going
to do about it?
You could let her be happy.
Or... we could
burn their forbidden love
to the ground.
I like Kemi's idea.
If we cannot keep your mother
away from the pastor,
we will take the pastor
away from her.
- How?
- Hmm. Leave that to me.
- All right, that's my cue.
- Where are you going?
I don't want to have
to testify against you.
Don't set a place
for my mom.
She's still at the office
looking for a way
to screw Goodwin out
of his last paycheck.
Oh, she is
so dedicated.
Did she drink
all the wine, too?
That was my mother.
Apparently, she and the pastor
get very...
thirsty during bible study.
Well, at least your
mom's capable of love.
You say that
like it's a good thing.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think
I'm an honest guy?
Do you trust me?
What have you done?
I promised Goodwin my job
to keep him working at MaxDot,
but deep down I don't think
I ever intended to quit.
What is wrong with that?
It's dishonest.
Sounds like good business.
You motivated a worker.
He's not just a worker...
He's my friend.
Some friend you are.
You lied to him.
I didn't mean to.
I know.
I guess I'm just afraid that
if I'm not running things
then, you know,
what-what good am I?
That is a fair question.
Okay, before we get in there,
let me hear it again.
I am so happy that you and
my mother have found each other.
That is terrible.
I don't believe a word of that.
Because it is not true.
I don't want the pastor
dating my mother.
He needs to feel
we are on his side
so he lets his guard down.
Then I will seduce
him and prove
that he's just
another dirty dog.
How?
By offering him
these fresh biscuits.
Come in.
Those are fresh?
Ah. Hello,
Kemi, Abishola.
Hello, Pastor.
Can we... speak to you?
Of course.
Sit down.
What can I do for you?
Well, Abishola has
something to say.
How could you,
a man of God,
be carrying on
with a married woman?
She's also very
happy for you.
I understand
your concern,
but, I assure you, nothing
inappropriate has occurred.
You spend
the whole church service
making eyes at my mother.
I cannot deny
that I have feelings for Ebun.
And why deny
your feelings?
If you see something you want...
You take it.
Abishola,
I am sorry.
I never expected this to happen.
But your
mother is...
a remarkable woman.
Smart, funny, kind.
My mother?
Ebunoluwa
Adebisi Odegbami?
I-I was hoping, on some level,
that you, of all people,
might understand.
What is that
supposed to mean?
You also were in
an unhappy marriage
and fell in love with another.
What do you know about it?
Your mother told me
all about you and Bob.
You have never been afraid
to take risks
in order to be happy.
She admires your courage.
Really?
She may not speak
those words to you,
but, believe me,
they are in her heart.
Yes.
The big, beating,
bouncy heart.
Anything?
No?
Okay, we are leaving.
Goodwin.
Yes, my dear.
Mr. Wheeler is here.
Hi!
Mr. Wheeler,
what are you doing here?
I just wanted
to talk.
You know I've never been
to your house before?
Yes, we are aware.
Please, come in.
Nice space here.
Thank you.
From Lagos with Love
by Goodwin O.?
It is a fast-paced thriller
about a man who works
in a sock factory by day
and fights injustice by night.
"All while learning to love."
I didn't know you were
an aspiring author.
Oh, there is much you do not
know about me, Mr. Wheeler.
Mm.
I am also
a notary public
- and a beekeeper.
- No kidding.
I will give you some honey
on your way out.
Thanks. Listen,
I-I just stopped by to say...
I know why you quit.
I get it.
You do?
I was never gonna leave.
I was lying to myself
and I was lying to you.
Yes. You were being...
Speaks foreign language...
- What's that?
- I believe the English translation is
"liar, liar, pants on fire."
I just want you to know
that I wish you the best
and I hope we can stay friends.
I hope so, too.
It is unlikely, but I still hope.
Come here.
You're gonna do great
at that new job.
I know.
And you are going to
be lost without me.
I know.
Maybe you can promote
your brother, Douglas.
Just give me some honey
and I'll get out of here.
Have a teaspoon
every morning
and your colon will thank you.
Goodwin,
will you and Mr. Wheeler
be needing some refreshments?
Oh, no, I was just leaving.
Good.
Oh.
He really does
seem to like her.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe this is a good thing
for the both of them.
Maybe. But I'm still going
to try and seduce him.
What? N-No.
I don't need you
to do that anymore.
Oh, it's not for you.
It's for me.
Hello, Pastor!
Oh, thank you.
Look at her, putting cookies
next to the meat.
This is chaos.
That would have never happened
when you were
refreshment coordinator.
She's a terrible woman,
blackmailing us like that.
She is despicable.
Tunde.
Olu.
- Ogechi.
- Ogechi.
Tunde, now that my son
is on the Deacon board,
it looks like there are enough
votes to make you head Deacon.
Me?
If you are interested.
Boy, yes!
Come, let's walk
and discuss.
Ah! What are you doing?
I'm making a deal
with the devil.
I'll see you at home.
I'm just gonna say it.
It's weird without Goodwin here.
I had breakfast with him
this morning.
I cannot believe
it will be eight hours
until I see him again.
Did you guys know
he was a beekeeper?
- Of course.
- Sure. Of course.
I sell his honey
at the farmers market.
At least I'll see him
on Saturday.
I didn't deserve him.
All right,
quit your crying.
We got work to do.
Speaking of which,
thought about promoting someone
to fill the vacancy?
No.
We don't need anybody else.
We got Bob.
He'll pick up the slack,
like he always does.
We believe in you, Mr. Wheeler.
Of course you do.
He's never let us down.
When his father, Max, died,
he quit school and
swooped in to save us.
Isn't that right, honey?
I gave up my dream
of being a sportscaster
to come here.
And when your first marriage
was falling apart,
where were you?
Here.
And four days
after your heart attack,
which this job gave you,
where were you?
Right back here,
working up another one.
Exactly.
My Bobby doesn't need friends.
He doesn't need hobbies.
He's got MaxDot.
The whole country could
be hit by an atomic bomb
and our little cockroach would
still be here selling socks.
Hey, Bobby,
where you going?
Bob? Bobby!
If he's gonna leave,
maybe I should run the meeting.
No.
♪ Don't stop talking
'bout freedom ♪
♪ Get going,
lots to be learned ♪
♪ And lots to be knowing
'bout people ♪
♪ Got to reach 'em
- Yes?
- Where did you go?
Out.
- We're in the middle of a meeting.
- I know.
You can't just leave
in the middle of a meeting.
I know.
Well, get back here!
No. I don't think I will.
What do you mean?
What the hell is going on?!
♪ Go away

- E kaale, Mumm.
- Kaale.
You are going out?
Yes.
Bible study.
You are taking wine?
It is the blood of Christ.
His blood is a sparkling rosé?
Why are you questioning me?
I am just worried, Mummy.
Worried about what?
You are a married woman.
People are talking.
Are you one of these
"talking" people?
Of course not.
Good.
Because it is none

E kaale, Mummy.
Granny.
Where have you been?
I was studying at Jason's house.
What do you even know
about this Jason?
We're in class together.
And his mom's a dentist.
You cannot just rush
into studying with somebody.
Have you even thought
about your old study partner
and how he would feel
if he knew you were
studying with Jason?
No.
Exactly.
You cannot just go out all night
studying and carrying on.
It's 5:30.
How dare you talk back to me.
Go to your room.
And think about
what you are doing
to this family.
Yes, Mum.
You let that boy get away
with far too much.
Where do you go to church?
First Lutheran.
Every Sunday.
Do you enjoy the services?
Oh, yes, the best
four hours of my week.
Four hours?
I'll take my chances in hell.
I need your signature
for payroll.
I hope you remembered
to pay yourself.
Amusing every time.
And one more for your records.
What's this?
My resignation.
Thank you for the last 30 years.
Wait, you're serious?
Yes, Mr. Wheeler.
I wish you continued success.
No, huh-uh, no.
I have thought about this
decision for quite some time,
and it is not one
I take lightly.
Please, Goodwin, don't do this.
Mr. Wheeler, do not make
this harder than it is.
You can't go. We're a team.
Like Lennon and McCartney,
Hall and Oates, Wheeler and...
How do you say your last name?
Olayiwola.
Yeah, that.
Goodbye, Mr. Wheeler.
Aw, just sit down,
let's talk about this.
It is too late.
I have already accepted
another job at Toesey Woesies.
My sister stole you?
If you call offering me
a higher-paying job
with better prospects stealing,
then yes.
- How could you do this to me?
- Sir...
as long as you are here,
I can never be promoted.
I knew I had to leave
when I found myself
wishing for your death.
That's okay. I wish
for my death all the time.
I am sorry, Mr. Wheeler.
Oh, don't be sorry,
just stay.
Wheeler and Olayiwola.
See, I said it. I can change!
The tea is delicious, thank you.
Y-You are welcome.
What is it, oolong?
Yes.
It is funny.
I prefer a breakfast tea.

I want to help you keep this

You are the only
other person who knows.
So just don't tell anyone.
That is not going to happen.
Unless...
Unless?
I have always wanted
to run the potluck.
Olu runs the potluck.
I have always wanted
to run the potluck.
Done.
And I want my son,
Chukwuemeka,
on the Deacon board.
- But he is just a boy!
- Tunde.
Do not fight her.
It's all right.
I like knowing it upsets him.
Fine.
I will put him
on the Deacon board.
And let that be the end of it.
Of course,
thank you.
Now, let's talk
Christmas seating.
Great, yes.
That's the new campaign.
With every pair of socks
we sell,
Toesey Woesies will donate
a pair to a homeless person.
So we get a tax break
and free advertising
whenever people drive
through an underpass.
Call you back.
Hey, big brother,
what's up?
Ah, you remember
we're related.
- That's encouraging.
- Okay, look.
Before you say anything,
you need to know,
Goodwin came to me.
And you didn't come to me.
Mm... no.
What the hell?
I've always supported you.
Even when you went
to work for a competitor.
I know. Mom wanted to
have you institutionalized.
Bob, this isn't personal.
A talented executive asked
to join my company.
It'd be bad business
to turn him away.
Oh, so this is
just business to you?
Our family means nothing.
- Can I tell you a secret?
- Yeah.
Less than nothing.
What happened to you?
What happened
to the sweet little girl
I used to take for ice cream?
Oh, she gets
her own ice cream now,
'cause she's the boss bitch.
Oh, you know who you sound like?
- The boss bitch?
- No.
The boss bitch
from whence we came.
Don't you dare.
Oh, yeah, it's like I'm looking
at you, but I'm talking to Mom.
You shut up.
I'm not anything like her!
Listen to yourself.
Get out of here, Bobby!
Oh, my God. Get out!
Bye, Mom.
What have I become?
I could book my mother
a Caribbean cruise.
She'd be away from the pastor
for two weeks.
So she can meet
another lover?
You know what women of her
age do in the Caribbean.
They get their groove back.
I say let
your mom have some fun.
Sounds like a harmless flirt.
"Harmless" would have
been getting herself
somebody from outside
of the church.
Do not poop where you pray.
She's a married woman.
She should not
be pooping at all.
- You said it was a loveless marriage.
- Yes.
That's why I told her
she could stay in America.
So you just wanted her
to sit in your guest room
alone and miserable forever?
No, I was hoping eventually she
would get a place of her own.
Ladies, please.
We all agree this is
Abishola's fault.
Huh?
But the question is,
what are we going
to do about it?
You could let her be happy.
Or... we could
burn their forbidden love
to the ground.
I like Kemi's idea.
If we cannot keep your mother
away from the pastor,
we will take the pastor
away from her.
- How?
- Hmm. Leave that to me.
- All right, that's my cue.
- Where are you going?
I don't want to have
to testify against you.
Don't set a place
for my mom.
She's still at the office
looking for a way
to screw Goodwin out
of his last paycheck.
Oh, she is
so dedicated.
Did she drink
all the wine, too?
That was my mother.
Apparently, she and the pastor
get very...
thirsty during bible study.
Well, at least your
mom's capable of love.
You say that
like it's a good thing.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think
I'm an honest guy?
Do you trust me?
What have you done?
I promised Goodwin my job
to keep him working at MaxDot,
but deep down I don't think
I ever intended to quit.
What is wrong with that?
It's dishonest.
Sounds like good business.
You motivated a worker.
He's not just a worker...
He's my friend.
Some friend you are.
You lied to him.
I didn't mean to.
I know.
I guess I'm just afraid that
if I'm not running things
then, you know,
what-what good am I?
That is a fair question.
Okay, before we get in there,
let me hear it again.
I am so happy that you and
my mother have found each other.
That is terrible.
I don't believe a word of that.
Because it is not true.
I don't want the pastor
dating my mother.
He needs to feel
we are on his side
so he lets his guard down.
Then I will seduce
him and prove
that he's just
another dirty dog.
How?
By offering him
these fresh biscuits.
Come in.
Those are fresh?
Ah. Hello,
Kemi, Abishola.
Hello, Pastor.
Can we... speak to you?
Of course.
Sit down.
What can I do for you?
Well, Abishola has
something to say.
How could you,
a man of God,
be carrying on
with a married woman?
She's also very
happy for you.
I understand
your concern,
but, I assure you, nothing
inappropriate has occurred.
You spend
the whole church service
making eyes at my mother.
I cannot deny
that I have feelings for Ebun.
And why deny
your feelings?
If you see something you want...
You take it.
Abishola,
I am sorry.
I never expected this to happen.
But your
mother is...
a remarkable woman.
Smart, funny, kind.
My mother?
Ebunoluwa
Adebisi Odegbami?
I-I was hoping, on some level,
that you, of all people,
might understand.
What is that
supposed to mean?
You also were in
an unhappy marriage
and fell in love with another.
What do you know about it?
Your mother told me
all about you and Bob.
You have never been afraid
to take risks
in order to be happy.
She admires your courage.
Really?
She may not speak
those words to you,
but, believe me,
they are in her heart.
Yes.
The big, beating,
bouncy heart.
Anything?
No?
Okay, we are leaving.
Goodwin.
Yes, my dear.
Mr. Wheeler is here.
Hi!
Mr. Wheeler,
what are you doing here?
I just wanted
to talk.
You know I've never been
to your house before?
Yes, we are aware.
Please, come in.
Nice space here.
Thank you.
From Lagos with Love
by Goodwin O.?
It is a fast-paced thriller
about a man who works
in a sock factory by day
and fights injustice by night.
"All while learning to love."
I didn't know you were
an aspiring author.
Oh, there is much you do not
know about me, Mr. Wheeler.
Mm.
I am also
a notary public
- and a beekeeper.
- No kidding.
I will give you some honey
on your way out.
Thanks. Listen,
I-I just stopped by to say...
I know why you quit.
I get it.
You do?
I was never gonna leave.
I was lying to myself
and I was lying to you.
Yes. You were being...
Speaks foreign language...
- What's that?
- I believe the English translation is
"liar, liar, pants on fire."
I just want you to know
that I wish you the best
and I hope we can stay friends.
I hope so, too.
It is unlikely, but I still hope.
Come here.
You're gonna do great
at that new job.
I know.
And you are going to
be lost without me.
I know.
Maybe you can promote
your brother, Douglas.
Just give me some honey
and I'll get out of here.
Have a teaspoon
every morning
and your colon will thank you.
Goodwin,
will you and Mr. Wheeler
be needing some refreshments?
Oh, no, I was just leaving.
Good.
Oh.
He really does
seem to like her.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe this is a good thing
for the both of them.
Maybe. But I'm still going
to try and seduce him.
What? N-No.
I don't need you
to do that anymore.
Oh, it's not for you.
It's for me.
Hello, Pastor!
Oh, thank you.
Look at her, putting cookies
next to the meat.
This is chaos.
That would have never happened
when you were
refreshment coordinator.
She's a terrible woman,
blackmailing us like that.
She is despicable.
Tunde.
Olu.
- Ogechi.
- Ogechi.
Tunde, now that my son
is on the Deacon board,
it looks like there are enough
votes to make you head Deacon.
Me?
If you are interested.
Boy, yes!
Come, let's walk
and discuss.
Ah! What are you doing?
I'm making a deal
with the devil.
I'll see you at home.
I'm just gonna say it.
It's weird without Goodwin here.
I had breakfast with him
this morning.
I cannot believe
it will be eight hours
until I see him again.
Did you guys know
he was a beekeeper?
- Of course.
- Sure. Of course.
I sell his honey
at the farmers market.
At least I'll see him
on Saturday.
I didn't deserve him.
All right,
quit your crying.
We got work to do.
Speaking of which,
thought about promoting someone
to fill the vacancy?
No.
We don't need anybody else.
We got Bob.
He'll pick up the slack,
like he always does.
We believe in you, Mr. Wheeler.
Of course you do.
He's never let us down.
When his father, Max, died,
he quit school and
swooped in to save us.
Isn't that right, honey?
I gave up my dream
of being a sportscaster
to come here.
And when your first marriage
was falling apart,
where were you?
Here.
And four days
after your heart attack,
which this job gave you,
where were you?
Right back here,
working up another one.
Exactly.
My Bobby doesn't need friends.
He doesn't need hobbies.
He's got MaxDot.
The whole country could
be hit by an atomic bomb
and our little cockroach would
still be here selling socks.
Hey, Bobby,
where you going?
Bob? Bobby!
If he's gonna leave,
maybe I should run the meeting.
No.

- Yes?
- Where did you go?
Out.
- We're in the middle of a meeting.
- I know.
You can't just leave
in the middle of a meeting.
I know.
Well, get back here!
No. I don't think I will.
What do you mean?
What the hell is going on?!
