Evan takes his niece Esther to the library where he notices a woman named Gently James trying to avoid late fees for her boss, Miss Luma Langston, at the front desk. Though Evan offers to pay the late fees, Gently insists it's not...

Mm-hmm.
So, what you feel like

for dinner tonight,
miss luma?

Oh, a big lunch today.

Cards with Jeanne
and Francis tonight.

Right.

One of them big bowls
of salad

that you make all the time

with meat that really is not
meat, but tastes like meat.

You know, I'm surprised
you like those so much.

Me too.

I mean,
it tastes like meat.

I mean, it really
tastes like meat.

I know.
It's scary good.

Don't tell me what it's made of.
I don't want to know.

Just smother it
with hot sauce.

You know how I like it.

I do. You like a bowl
of hot sauce for lunch

with just a little bit
of salad in it.

Oh, jokes today, I see.

I'll turn you over,
young lady.

I don't want that,
miss luma.

I don't want none.

- So, how was the week?
- Same.

Come on. You can do
better than that.

Like, how did you do
on that algebra test?

You already know.

Hey.

How are things at home?

I just am coming to accept it
and be like, "whatever."

I can't please her,
and trying doesn't matter.

Unh-unh,
trying always matters.

Nothing beats a failure
but a try.

But a try. I know.

Thank you. And, again,
it's not all that bad.

I mean, she let you
go to this lecture,

and she's off to church
without you.

I mean,
I'm actually shocked.

She's probably in her car
praying for us right now.

She definitely is.

Your mama's always been
paranoid. I'm the chill one.

Ancient Egyptian religion lives
again within kemetic orthodoxy,

the current-day practice
of the traditional spirituality

of kemet, known today as Egypt.

This most ancient tradition
is honored anew

by people all around the globe,

returning the principles and
beliefs of ma'at to a new world.

Librarian: All you had
to do was to renew them

before the due date
expired, right?

Okay, but there's no way
I'm paying $200

for anything in
the Los Angeles public library.

I just feel like...

But you did,
so here we are.

What is going on?

- This is where we are, right?
- Okay.

I don't know.
I'm liking the view.

- Okay?
- It's too much money.

It's not...
Well, that's not my problem.

How long you been here?

Feels like a half an hour
at least.

I need you to pay the fine
so we can move on.

We got people in line.

Look, I feel like the part
you're not understanding

is this isn't a negotiation.
This is happening.

You are not gonna stand
here and tell me

what is going to happen.

You are not going to
tell me what to do.

You're turning in books
that are over a year past due.

Fines are the consequences,
and that's that.

You're right.
I'm not gonna stand here

and tell you what
you're about to do.

I'm-a tell you what you
I'm about to do,

and that's stand here,
planted until...

Uh, excuse me,
excuse me.

Ladies, can we table
this conversation

while the rest of us in line
handle our book business?

We don't want
no problems.

We just want to read.

They say
it's fundamental.

Okay, look, I-I-I have
a young lady, my niece,

and she's in
the Egyptian's kemetic class,

and it's about to end in
6 to 7 minutes,

and this looks like

a 12-to-13-minute
kind of conversation.

So can you help
a brother out?

Well, I have an old lady,
my boss,

she wants me back a.S.A.P.,
so sorry.

I can't help.

And I'm not trying
to disrespect you,

and I'm really sorry to push,

but miss luma told me
she needed this handled today,

and I'm the only person
that can handle it.

Now, she wants me back
in 15 minutes.

There's, like, 20 minutes' worth
of people in this line.

Half of these people
probably ain't even got

a library card.

You're right.
I don't have a library card,

but I also don't have 20 minutes
to wait for that line to move

after the 20 minutes you two
are gonna take battling it out

for, uh, miss, um...?

Luma.
Luma Langston.

Oh...
Luma Langston?

You know her?

I mean,
i-i-i know of her.

My... my granddad used to
watch all her films.

Have you seen them?

I wouldn't say I've
seen them all,

but I did see
"diamond of Dixie."

That's a good one.

Yeah.

Uh, um, my granddad
used to always say

that miss luma Langston
was the real "diamond of Dixie,"

and not that white lady
she played the maid for.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Your granddad was right.

Um...

Anyway, um,
these are her books.

You know, she's reading
a lot slower nowadays.

So she's done with these,
she wants to turn them in,

get more books,

and I'm not leaving here
till you tend to this.

I want you to
waive her fines.

She deserves that.

She should have
anything she wants.

We should
give that to her.

We got to
honor our elders.

You can do it,

and I'm not leaving this spot
till you do.

Um, can I... can
I take care of the fines?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Excuse me.

This isn't about money.

I know.

This is about
what's right.

Hey, look

what's right is that you
get what you want here.

And you want to turn in
these books

and you want to
not pay the fines

and you want to get
more books.

So get what you want.

Seriously, it would...
It would be an honor for me.

I know that my granddad is
up there somewhere smiling.

Huh?

That's cute.

But, uh,

I need her to respect
the situation.

I need her to put some respect
on miss luma's name.

You know what I'm saying?
It's not really about the money.

I just need her
to do what's right.

Okay.

Sis, come on. Do this.

It's the right thing to do.
She deserves this.

You have the power to do it.
Why won't you?

Y-Y-You're gonna
be old one day,

god willing,
and you're gonna need help.

Do the right thing?

I'm waiving $207
from miss luma Langston.

I'm also noting that this
is the first and final time

a waiver will be given
to miss luma

or to her caregiver,
gently James, citywide.

Period.
Period.

I agree.
Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Um...

She wants to
check these out next.

I know, I know.

It's very annoying.

I appreciate you.
Thank you so much.

Girl, I didn't think you

♪ Oh, I'm down, baby ♪

Girl,
you're something else.

You know I take your dares
and bets and ultimatums

and "don't you come home
till it's dones" very seriously.

You did well, my dear.
You really did.

And I can't tell you
how grateful I am.

Oh, lord.

Thank you.

Uh, I keep trying to tell you
audiobooks are the new thing.

I think you'd like them.

It's just basically people
acting out the story for you

right in your ear.

The joy of books

is that you get to act it out
for yourself.

Ah?

Yes, ma'am.

You know, I really should've
returned the books

when I was finished
with them.

But, you know...

Or given you some money
to go pay for them.

That was too much money.

Yes, but right is right.

You know, this guy in line

offered to pay when he
heard they were yours.

I turned him down,
though.

You should've let him pay.

You know,
if a well-mannered man

decides to give you a hand,
um, it can't hurt.

Actually, a well-mannered man
can hurt.

You just have to make sure

that it's worth it.

Okay, that part.

Evan Fisher. My man.

Hey.

You stay working
on the weekend, bruh?

Hey, man,
you know I got to win.

Um, watch out for her?
20 minutes?

I got you.

Unh-unh.

I'm literally here to do
a diagnostic and one last thing.

Yeah, that's what I said
two hours ago.

No, I'm serious, Dana.

Okay.

I need you to look at
this one thing.

One thing, Evan, I promise.
Please?

Okay.

Thank you.

See those multiple algorithms

running concurrently
outside the bracket?

It's creating false entry.

Accounts are being opened
even when the wrong password

is entered as long as
the number exists

somewhere within
the combination.

Like I told you, I informed
management about this

in my end-of-quarter analysis
three weeks ago.

- Okay.
- They know.

Beyond that, there's
not much I can do.

I don't get it, Evan.
Uh, this is big.

I told you it was big.

So why give up?

You come in on weekends.
You stay late.

You're the best at this,
but it's like you don't care.

Look, I do my job,

and I use this job to learn,
to get better.

That's why I'm here.

I'm a company man.
Just not for this company.

Look, I'm doing something that
will be big one day for my own.

That new company of yours?
It's gonna need a v.P.

I'll send you my résumé.

Oh.
I'm sure you will.

I did see
"diamond of Dixie."

That's a good one.

Yeah.

What's my type,
miss luma?

Big and dumb.

Don't get me wrong, girl.
They're a great type.

I have rather enjoyed that type
myself over the years,

and he's not that,
I'm sorry to say.

It looks like he works at
some kind of tech company.

You know that means money.

Well, you should
know that.

I mean, you wouldn't be able to
give $200 to a librarian

if you didn't have money.

True.

What's that? Who's that?

Looks like his family.

That's a nice family photo.

Yeah, I guess.

See? That's your problem,
I would think.

That's truly your problem.

You have an attention-deficit
syndrome towards men.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, not one of them
can hold your attention.

Huh?

What's wrong?

You're right.
♪ She said run away, boy ♪

But I don't think
it's a problem.

Doesn't feel like
a problem.

Feels just fine to me.

Girl
you're so much like me,

it's a hoot to see.

Hey, sweetheart.
Love you.

Hey, hey, hey.

What'd she say?

Uh, same thing.

Mother doesn't understand her,
doesn't like her,

and life is
basically hopeless.

What did ellene say?

Daughter hates her,
she doesn't know why,

she's a terrible mother,
and life is a disaster.

Nice.
Hey, man, I feel for you.

Having to play both sides.
Living with all this drama.

You don't know
the half of it, man.

Hey, sis.

Hey.

Mm. Thank you.

Thank you for handling her
today.

Yeah, she's fine.
Everything's gonna be okay.

Mm-hmm.
You want to stay for lunch?

And I'll just whip you up
a little sandie real quick?

Cool.

Um...

I got to go.

I'm gonna roll.

Here you go.

Damn, man, what's up?

I don't know,
but I'm gonna find out.

Nick.

Coming, sweetheart.

Woman: So, by the time this
particular podcast airs...

...black women's equal pay day
will have come and gone.

Hey.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

Good. Happy to see you.

You're gonna
be even happier

once you taste what's inside
this magnificent door.

Okay, show me.

Hi. Um, I'll have
an original...

Okay.

...and...

Uh, is there a menu?

You want me to order for you?
Please.

One cookies and cream.
One strawberry.

All right.

Here you go.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

Is there a place to sit?

Take a bite first.

Evan: Alright.

So what's up? What's up?
What you think?

Damn!

Right?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, what's in this?

Just a whole lot of bad
to make it good.

Okay.

So we started with original.
Uh-huh.

But that was just to
cleanse your palette.

Now you have your choice...
Oreo, strawberry?

Mm.

Oh, your choice says
a lot about you.

Oh, okay, I see.

So this is some kind of trick,
some kind of test.

No.

Just pick the one
you want.

No, you just said
it says a lot about me.

It does, but there's
no right answer.

Mm.

It's all information.

Life is information.

I'm information-gathering.

Well, you know, I do,
uh, analysis for a living,

so this doesn't
intimidate me.

I believe you.

Oh, okay.

Uh, well, if I pick
the strawberry,

maybe you think I'm soft
because I like fruit.

Then if I pick the oreo,
maybe you think I am one.

On the other hand,
if I pick strawberry,

maybe you think I'm
sensitive and sweet.

Or maybe the rich,
dark chocolate

says something about me.

Yeah, I see you're
good at your job.

Yeah.

I can see that.

Yeah.

This one.

Yes! Fantastic choice!

Oreo's my favorite.

Oh, oh, okay, okay.

So this is information.

Ah, so it's more about
what you want

and less about
what I get wrong.

Is that how you work?
I mean...

Is that... is that it?

You know the saying...
Happy wife, happy life.

Look, okay...

Uh-huh.
...I'm not saying

that applies perfectly
to this situation,

but the underlying principle
remains the same.

People want to be around
happy people

more than around people
who aren't happy.

So why not just try our best
to make each other happy

in every interaction,

in every moment
with every person?

Like, you just
made me happy.

Doesn't that
make you happy?

Yeah, it does.

Yeah, and sitting
here with you,

answering your d.M., that made
me happy to do for you.

Even sitting on this
dirty-ass curb is nice...

...in this moment.

That's all there is.
That's all we have, you know?

Yeah.

Okay.

But what about people who...

Who don't make
each other happy?

I mean, like, what if I...
I picked the oreo?

Or what if I wanted to
take you to a restaurant

with tables and chairs?

Well, I guess we wouldn't
be sitting here happy.

As in you'd be upset?

No. As in I'd be gone.

Life's too short,
you know?

Mmm!

You got to try the oreo.

Uh, so, it's a company
that provides the wireframes

from security log-ins.

So when you go to a site
or an app

and you put your personal
information in,

we build that part

and then sell it over
to various developers.

Okay. Do you like it?

It's a living.

So you don't like it.

I like the living
it provides me.

I like how I live,
where I live,

helping my family,
paying for school.

I think that's enough
for me right now.

I am working on
my own personal, uh,

company concept, this idea
I have called zuberi.

It means "strength"
in Swahili.

So this place
is just a step.

Okay.

Uh, how long you, uh,
been living in west Adams?

I kind of grew up
over here.

There are some
beautiful homes.

I didn't grow up
in the beautiful part,

but always wanted to live
in that part, though.

That's half the reason
I came home...

The chance to live
in one of these houses.

Mm.

Luma Langston.

Man.

That's crazy that you
work for her.

It's an honor every day.

So is she as cool
as she was back then?

Cooler. Infinitely cooler
than I'd ever be

if I'd gone through
all that she has.

So much talent, and she never
got a chance to show it.

She's always playing
the maids and sidekicks

in the background
of other people's stories.

That woman can sing,
she acts, she can dance.

In six films.
She's a genius,

and she's known for playing
a maid in six lousy films.

What did she do
to survive all those years?

Taught drama
at L.A. unified.

She passed her gift
on to others.

Sounds amazing.

No, she's a queen.

Should I turn here?

You know, actually, you can
drop me off a couple blocks up.

I got an errand to run.
I need to grab some wheels.

Oh, I got you.

Yeah, I'm enjoying
your luxury whip,

but I need a flatbed.

Oh, a flatbed?

That's the worst
kind of errand.

You need a hand?

Yeah, I'll take a hand.

Okay.

paid off the loans?

Before. It was very trifling
and, uh, irresponsible.

No. Good for you.

Thank you.

What about you?
Where'd you go to school?

I didn't.

I went from
my high-school graduation

straight to l.A.X.
On a $500 one-way ticket

to Europe, and I just
never looked back.

Wow.

Well, your Instagram
is like a tourist trap.

I want to go everywhere you went
and do everything you did.

Yeah, it was a lot harder than
I make it look on the 'gram.

It was definitely
an adventure.

So I worked my way

It's one the... you know,
those big, old, large,

round-ish ones...
Yeah.

...that fit in perfectly
in old houses?

And it's dirt cheap, which is
the kind of cheap I prefer.

So Carson it is.

Keep going, keep going,

Alright.

Ooh.

The sign says she'll

Aw, man.

Hey, so we wait.

Hey, we came here to

gonna achieve it.

I heard that.

So, what we gonna do

Why you say it like that?

Look, I'm from the south bay,
and we got a thing about Carson.

Look, they think that
they're south bay,

but they're just
a no-man's-land

between gardena, Compton,
and long beach.

What are we gonna do,
go to Ikea?

You know that's all
they got going on.

Wow, you're really
slicing Carson!

Oh.

I-I didn't know you repped
the south bay like that.

I do.

Uh, you know
who's from Carson?

Huh?

Bone. Uncle bone.

You know the one.
Should I tell him what you said?

Well, you know, I also think
Carson's a beautiful place,

and the people are
very forgiving here.

So, you know...

Ah, get out of here.

Hey, you better not
tell him, either.

Won't tell bone that.

So, where we going?

You choose.

Oh, yeah!
You already lost.

It's already
over for you.

Oh, one!

Ooh, ooh! Ooh!
Did you see it spinning?!

Oh, my god.
I'm so cool.

Okay, you're bad at this.
I need to do the shooting.

- Okay, I'll...
- I need to do...

- Aw!
- Yeah, man.

Alright, alright.
Go ahead. You got it.

- Excuse me.
- Oh! Oh!

- Oh, we boxing out now?
- Boxing out.

Okay. No! No!
No! No! No!

You can't keep up with me!

Wait. Let me just...
Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

We got it. We got it.

Aw, no, you didn't.

I'll get it.

Wow. Get it!

Kind of taking me back.

- Okay.
- Huh?

Okay, first kiss.

Nope.

No?

Mnh-mnh.

Walter kimbrough. 2003.

Just...
Yep.

Behind the bleachers.

Ah, um...

Sherry Taylor.

Church basement.

Dang.
See? That face.

That's what I'm talking about.
Church basement?

That's... that's why I didn't
want to say anything.

Sacrilege.

Yeah, I'm still praying
for forgiveness.

Come on. Let's... let's
change the subject.

Something... I don't...
I don't want to

talk about my teen years.

Why not? You weren't young,
dumb, and reckless?

No, I did everything
by the books.

I was lucky if I made it to
class two days out the week.

For real?

Where were your parents?

What's that supposed
to mean?

What do... what...
What do you mean?

What you just said.

What did I say?

My dad died in the streets
when I was 9.

Ben took me in and did
the best he could.

Wow. Um...

He sounds amazing.

Where was your mom?

What's with
all the questions?

You know, maybe I didn't have
somebody making me sandwiches

and cutting the crust
off my bread,

watching over my every move,

but I had Ben, and he
changed his life for me.

He even got a job
delivering the L.A. times.

Not the sexiest job,

but he did it in his prime.
He did that for me.

Wait. Wait, wait. I wasn't...
I wasn't judging him.

Well, sounded like you were.

Well, I wasn't.

Well, that's not
what I heard.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry
that happened to you.

Don't do that.

You know what?
It's all good.

They're probably back now.
Wait, wait, wait.

We should get going.
I didn't mean to offend you.

I'm not... it's okay.
Come... come on. Come...

Just...
Let's just go.

Hi. Hope you weren't
waiting too long.

I'm sanah.

Gently.

Hi. Hi.
Evan.

Hi, Evan. You guys are here
for the fridge, right?

Okay, come on.
Come on back.

Feel free to take a look around.
Everything is for sale.

But the fridge you called about
is right behind this curtain.

Check it out.

It's perfect.

She's old, but she works.

No, it's great.

Yes. I even plugged
it in for you.

Oh.

Isn't she a beauty?
Feel that cool air?

Mm-hmm, I do.
Let me see.

Okay.

Damn.

It's too wide.

You sure?

Yeah, it won't fit
by an inch.

Oh, no.

It's deep enough,
but it's too wide.

I mean, can we even
try to fit it in?

Maybe you can change something
in the kitchen or...

No.

Are you sure?
We can...

I am. It's her house.
It's a wall.

It can't be changed,

so it's not gonna work.
Thank you.

- Okay, alright.
- Thank you.

Nice meeting you guys.
You too.

If you change your mind,
I'm here.

- Thank you.
- Take care

damn.

Hey, gently.

Let's just
take care of it.

We can go to a real
appliance place,

and we can pick out something
with the measurements.

I can't do that.

I can handle it.

You know, we can get
it delivered, installed.

It's easier.

That's your
solution to everything, huh?

Just throw some money
at it.

I was just saying
it was easier,

and I was offering you
a hand.

No, you're trying to fix
something the way you want

it done, and you're
judging my way.

This is a real
appliance place.

I am taking care of it.

And she doesn't want to
find something

with the right
measurements.

She wants something
that fits in her house,

that feels like
it belongs there.

She doesn't care
if it's fancy to,

you know,
impress people.

She didn't work a job
she didn't love just because.

She lived a life of passion
and pleasure

filled with real people
and real things,

and I feel like that's something
you can't really understand.

- Let's just go.
- What's your deal that you feel

you can talk to somebody
like that?

I can talk to you
however I want.

You can't control me.

That's not cool.

That's not what I'm
gonna deal with.

Period. Point black.
The end.

So, look, you can either
get in or get left.

I'm ready to go.

I'm good.

As in, I'm gone.

'Cause that's what you
were gonna do anyway.

So you might as well
do it now.
