Good Trouble (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - In the Middle - full transcript

-So it's over with Jeff?
-Yes.

But would you ever date
a woman who was plus-size?

Sure.

Have you ever dated anyone

who's over, say, a size two?

(phone dings)

Jamie:
I didn't want Gael
to feel weird,

but I bought one
of his pieces.

You sure it looks
good there?

Yeah, it looks great.

Gael:
So, this is the first piece
in a series I'm gonna do



based on the piece that I sold
in the previous show.

"Bold AF L.A. artist

everyone will be talking about
if they aren't already."

Gael (laughing):
Are you kidding me?

In Black Lives Matter,

we understand
it's a whole system.

Malika:
Well, I really wanna be
a part of the transformation,

not just the response.

I don't have time to reign in
the ego of a young lawyer

who's got something to prove
because she failed the bar.

I wanted to talk
to you about dating.

What if I helped you
set up your profile?

We cannot afford to have
another Amanda situation.

I just asked if you would spend
the night with Jamie.



Yeah, maybe I'll move in
with Jamie.

-Go right ahead.
-Okay.

-Stop!
-(screams)

So, why don't you?

What?

Move in with me?

-Hey.
-Oh, glad you made it.

Yeah, what's going on?

You said you wanted to be
part of an action, right?

-Yeah.
-Oh.

We've been hacked before.

All right, y'all,
so let's get started.

So, I know some of you are
wondering why we're here,

and we apologize
for the secrecy.

But we're planning a disruption
in the next couple of days.

♪ Love you,
we go... ♪

In order to pull the plan off,

we have to keep
the plan under wraps,

even from some of you.

So, you're gonna get details
on a need-to-know basis only.

Now, new folks...

We gonna need you
on the front lines
for this one.

Police don't know your faces
the way they know some of ours,

and so you will be given
more access.

If you are uncomfortable
with this in any way,

you're absolutely free to leave.

Here's all the research
on landlord retaliation
in California.

Uh, since the law isn't settled,

did you get a chance to look
at the Nevada case I sent you?

Yep.

-Hope it was helpful.
-Uh-huh.

I just wanna say, um...

If there's anything else
I can help with,
in addition to research,

I'd love an opportunity
to do more.

Okay.

Actually, I'm going out
in the field today

for the expungement clinic.

Can you sort these files
by expungement type

and review them for potential
eligibility by end of day?

-Sure.
-Thank you.

I thought we agreed
to take the first deal
in the Rivera case.

Yeah, I think
we can do better.

-And if we don't?
-I'm just gonna...

-Then it's on me.
-And me!

-It's my case, Teresa.
-And this is my office, Marcus.

Are Mommy and Zaddy
fighting again?

What is the deal with them?

I heard Marcus was
up for a promotion

at another legal aid office,

and Teresa put
the big kibosh on it.

Yeah, well I heard
Teresa's on her way out,

and Marcus is getting her job.

Oh. I thought maybe
they had a thing.

-Oh, that too.
-Oh, for sure.

Marcus:
We'll finish
this conversation later.

Hey, Cary, I could use
some help in the field today.

-You wanna come?
-Sure!

Let's go.

Callie,
since Cary's out,

how would you like to do
a client intake today?

Um, I'd love to,

but Marcus needs
these files sorted ASAP.

Don't worry about Marcus.

He works for me.

(mouths)

Evan:
In light of
the negative publicity

surrounding the gender
pay gap at Speckulate,

the board thinks that
launching an activism app

before the end of the quarter
would be some good PR for us.

-When is the end
of the quarter?
-Ten days.

Ten days?

That's gonna be tight.

You can do it.

Black women are trendsetters
and brand loyalists, and yet,
so many companies

ignore us
in their marketing.

And that is why I love
what you are doing here

at Panoptic Threads.

We're all about inclusivity.

We want our clients
to be every woman,

every race, religion,

socioeconomic group.

-Binary and non-binary.
-True.

You don't have
to identify as female
to find your fashion here.

That sounds amazing.

Tiana:
What would you be doing there?

I'd be a marketing analyst
advising the company

on cultural awareness

and how to avoid promoting
harmful stereotypes and imagery.

Like blackface turtlenecks.

(chuckling): Exactly.

For my college thesis,
I did a case study

on unconscious bias in hiring.

So, when I was applying
for jobs...

I sent identical resumes
to 20 different companies,

half with my real name

and half with the name
Melanie Watson.

"Melanie" got three responses
right away.

Of course she did.

Whereas you're
the only company

who responded
to Malika Williams.

I love that you did that.

This is exactly
the kind of bias

that we want to eradicate
with our brand.

And I want to be a part
of that mission,

and this company.

We need to discuss it
with the team,

but you're exactly
what we're looking for.

I just-- I really hope
I get it.

Not that I don't get
how important

the invisible work
we are doing here is,

but I miss being
on the front lines

like I was
during Jamal's trial.

The charge you get when you can
feel you're stirring things up.

I think I could get that feeling
every day at this job.

That's dope.

I do not get that feeling

working at the Department
of Water and Power.

(both laughing)

Thomas:
This is where they would like
the piece to live.

They want something abstract
using earthy materials,

which is why, when I saw
that piece on you

in the KickinLA profile,
I wanted to bring you in.

Thanks, man, I appreciate it.

Um, I've never done
anything large scale before.

-So you're not interested?
-No. Very interested.

Uh, when would you need
to see some sketches?

Well, we're moving quickly.

Could you present something
to the client at five o'clock
tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Sure.

-Are you cooking?
-No.

I miss your cooking.

Well, you shouldn't have taken
away my mini-fridge.

Sorry, dude,
people were complaining

about the electric bill.

-You look tired.
-Thanks.

I'm having breakfast for dinner,
so I made coffee.

Oh, thank you.

Um, has anyone seen my mug?
It's pink and...

-Ah.
-Oh.

Sorry, I didn't realize
it was your mug,

being that this is
communal living and all.

It's got my name
on the bottom.

Huh.

Is it magical or something?

No, it's just better
for my tea diffuser.

-It's fine.
-Great. Thanks.

I have to run anyway, so...

The other 50 mugs aren't
good enough for Elsa?

Was it something I said?

He's mad I took
away his mini-fridge,

(whispers):
and I feel bad lying about it.

Yeah, but
I really appreciate it.

He needed to get
out of his loft.

You're awfully concerned
about him lately.

No, I'm not.

Your song at Malika's birthday
was incredible.

If I didn't know any better,
I'd think you two are in love.

I'm kidding!

-No. You're not in love.
-(sobs)

You are in love?

-(crying)
-He's in love,
and you're in like?

-(crying)
-It's not you, it's him?

(crying)

It's not him, it's you?

It's me?

So, you do love Dennis?

But you never broke up
with Jeff?

Because he finally left
his wife for you,

and now you feel bad for dumping
him when his life is a mess?

No?

I was on a roll there.

That's what I told myself.

But the truth is
I didn't break up with him,

because I didn't think that
anyone else would ever love me.

Well, how do you know
Dennis doesn't love you?

(sniffles)
I know that he loves me.

As a friend.

(sniffles)
But let's face it,

I'm not his type, you know?

He dates girls with waists
the size of my thighs.

-First of all,
you're beautiful.
-Well, duh!

I said I was fat, not ugly.

Just because I learned
to love my body

doesn't mean
that Dennis ever could.

-Jeff does.
-(sighs)

Sorry.

Sorry, I just meant
that your body is

-obviously lovable.
-(sniffles)

(crying):
Jeff's in town.

Oh.

Well, if you don't love him,
you have to tell him.

(crying):
I'm so sorry.

I never saw this coming.

-If I had, I never--
-Would let me blow up
my entire life?

I lost my house...

my dog,
all of my friends.

-I know.
-My family hates me.

I'm sorry.

But I didn't ruin
your marriage.

You weren't happy
with Lily.

And with or without me,

you needed to end things.

(crying):
You're an amazing man.

And you deserve someone
who loves you and makes
you happy.

-And when you find
that person--
-Just get out.

-Jeff--
-Just get the hell out!

Okay. That was hard.

But you survived.

I mean, what do you have
to lose by telling Dennis?

His friendship.

(sniffles)

-When do we celebrate?
-Well, I didn't get the job yet.

Uh, yes, you did.
Stop frontin'.

Also, what is their policy
on boyfriends?

Can I still hang out
and watch you work?

Aw. I am gonna
miss these drop-ins.

Seems like the only way
I can catch you these days.

I'll find a way
to make time for us.

I promise.

Seriously, though, I'm...
I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

Tolu:
Yo, what's
that company's name?

Panoptic Threads. Why?

Some chick from there
just liked

one of your tweets
that I'm tagged in.

Which one?

"Club goin' up on a Tuesday"
with a pic of us and Rick.

Malika:
Wait, that's old.

They are deep diving
into my socials.

Oh, Malika, that just means
they're interested in you.

Well, I'm interested
in, uh, who's Rick.

-Calm down,
that's just Tolu's bong.
-Rest in peace.

(both laughing)

And it means I need
to do some scrubbing.

♪ I am everything I need ♪

♪ I am everything I want ♪

♪ I am, I am... ♪

-Hi.
-Hey! We weren't
sure you'd make it.

I got you a drink,
but I drank it.

(chuckles)
Yeah, well, I wasn't sure
I was gonna make it ether.

(phone chimes)

Crap.

(gasps)
Oh!

Sorry, I wear orthotics.

-What?
-They make my shoes squeak.

(shoes squeaking)

People usually hear
me approaching.

Uh, well, sorry. Uh...

I must've...

I'm really deep in it
with, you know,

ten days to launch and all.

Yes. About that.

So, I want you to create
a chat feature

to keep users in the app longer
and boost ad sales.

-You mean like further down
the road after we've launched?
-No, I mean now.

But don't worry, you can have
until end of day tomorrow
to show me something.

Tomorrow? That's...
not much time.

You can do it.

-Well, with everything
that we already have--
-You can do it.

-It's just, it's
gonna be pretty--
-You can do it.

Claire:
I hope you said
we can't do it.

I... didn't.

But I am.
I'm just gonna tell him no.

Good luck with that.

Evan Speck?
Yeah, he doesn't take
no for an answer.

-Who is she?
-That's Amanda.

She used to work
at Speckulate.

Alex:
You remember the other
pretty engineer girl?

-Amanda.
-Sam: Amanda, right.

Evan took an interest in her,

-and then, poof!
-Her app was toast.

That's Amanda?

The bartenders have been
ignoring this side of the bar
for like 20 minutes.

I'm in too deep,
but you can save yourself.

(chuckles)
No, I think we're
in this together now.

(chuckles)

We didn't really meet.
I'm Mariana.

Nice to meet you.
I'm Amanda.

Yeah. I know.

You used to work at Speckulate.

Yeah. Unfortunately.

-But you quit.
-No. I wish.
I was fired.

Fired?

So what happened with Amanda?

Amanda quit.

But not because
Evan did anything.

-May I ask why?
-Honestly, I have no idea.

She took advantage
of his mentorship.

Developed her app,

and she got
a better offer and left.

I really thought Evan liked me.

And my app.

He was always really supportive.

The only thing
I can think of is that

I told him I couldn't do
everything he wanted

and still meet the deadline.

And the next thing I know,
I was called into HR,

and Angela was telling me
that they were letting me go.

Even though
she burned Evan,
he didn't want to sue her.

He got a lot of crap
from the board of directors,

which is why he can't
let it happen again.

I'm so sorry.

At least they let
me keep my app.

But I haven't been able to get
any investors interested,

and I still don't have
another job.

This just doesn't sound
like Evan.

Yeah, that's what
I used to think.

But it's his company.

I wouldn't have been fired
if that's not what he wanted.

Looks good.

You can look at it
when I get a copyright.

(chuckles)
Never letting that one go,
are you?

I'm just saying.

Inspiration is not
appropriation.

(laughing)
Okay.

I don't remember getting
an inspired-by credit

on your college thesis.

You really trying to go
there right now?

No.

Hmm.

Thanks for being cool
about staying in tonight.

Of course. This commission
could be huge for you.

It's barely any money.
I'll probably end up spending
more on materials anyway.

It's not about the money.
It's about the exposure.

Think about all
of the potential clients

that will walk through
that lobby every single day

and look at art
with your name on it.

I'm not gonna let
you downplay this.

It's huge!

(chuckles)
Okay.

-(Gael sighs)
-What's up?

Come on, we gotta
go back to work.

-Why?
-We're adding
the chat feature.

(groans)

-Now, let's go, come on!
-Now?

Mariana needs graphics for a new
feature to the app by tomorrow.

Tell her no.
You have sketches to finish.

-It's my job.
-Your day job.

Well, my day job isn't
making art.

Yet.

I have to. It's fine.

And I can get it all done
if you stop distracting me.

-Go!
-(laughs)

Yeah, I have some work
I have to finish, too.

(water running)

So, that song you sang
with Davia?

So intense.

Very nice.

If I didn't know any better,
I'd think the two of you
were in love.

Okay, look, I don't have
time for this BS.

Do you have feelings
for Davia?

Maybe, just maybe,
you should keep
your cup in your room.

Well, then Mariana
will just take it.

I thought living
with four siblings

on top of each other was hard,

but there are people
drinking out of my cup

and pissing on the toilet seats
that I don't even know.

You could move in here.

Where there's only one person
pissing on the toilet seat?

(laughing)

I am very careful,
and I have excellent aim.

You haven't put it back.

So glad you could
join us, Mariana.

Sorry, sorry.
Let me just...

Finish this...

Done.

Wow, this looks delicious!

Either Jamie cooked
or Callie ordered in.

-I can cook.
-(Jamie laughs)

Okay, fine,
I ordered in,

but only because
work is crazy.

How so?

-(infant fussing)
-So, Lisa, you said

you received
an eviction notice

for being in violation

of the nuisance abatement
code of conduct

for unapproved guests?

My brother was crashing
with me for a couple of days.

Him and his girl was going
through some stuff,

so I offered him my couch.

Did you know about
this code of conduct?

Sort of.

We got a letter
a few weeks back

talking about how
the city filed a lawsuit

against the apartment complex
for gang activity.

And is your brother
in a gang?

No.

Neither am I
and neither are my neighbors,

so I don't know what the hell
they're talking about.

Are me and my kids gonna
be homeless?

This intake report looks
really good, Callie.

Thank you.

I actually did some digging,

and Lisa's not
the only tenant

in her building
they're targeting.

I've already found two others
from the same complex.

I was wondering if we could file
a petition to intervene.

Unfortunately, the matter's
already been settled in court.

We can organize
a know-your-rights event,

but there's not much more
we can do at this point.

You remind me a lot of myself,

especially at your age,
just out of law school.

People dismiss
your enthusiasm,

tell you you're naive to think
you can make a difference.

Don't believe them.

We make a difference
here every day.

And when you pass
the bar next time,

I hope you'll let me hire
you here as a lawyer.

It felt so amazing

to do actual legal work
with a client.

-Not just the Constitution.
-Yeah, that sounds exciting.

Yeah. Riveting.

Oh, I'm sorry you have to hear
about my work for once.

For once?

-You always talk
about work.
-When?

When I was a clerk,
I couldn't talk about my work.

How many hours have I spent
listening to you talk about

the broholes at Speckulate
and the spreadsheet

and your socially awkward boss?

Okay, he is not
that awkward.

How's it going
with his dating app?

It's just Jamie.
Who's he gonna tell?

I'll remember that
next time I tell you a secret.

Look who's talking,
Worst Keeper of Secrets Ever.

So, has he been on any dates?

Not yet,
but he's driving me crazy.

This woman seems
to like cats.

Should I tell her
about toxoplasmosis?

What's that?

The disease that makes people
go insane from contact
with cat feces.

Please don't.

So, what we're proposing is
a laddering system

where salaries are leveled
by specific skill sets

and job responsibilities,

eliminating gender
and race bias.

-So, as you can see--
-(knocking)

Excuse me a moment.

Sorry. Um...

This woman wants to know
what I'm wearing,

so do I say shirt and pants?

Or is this code for something
like "Down to...

sex."

(toilet flushes)

Sorry.

How do I respond
to a GIF of a turtle?

Well, you're the one
who volunteered
to help him get laid.

Maybe I'll just do
it myself.

-I'm kidding.
-Wow!

You better not let Raj hear
you talking like that.

Well, now that he knows I had
a sex dream about Evan...

Hey, maybe it wasn't
an anxiety dream.

Maybe you want him.

Maybe I should say good night
before we start improv-ing
again.

Thank you for dinner.
It was delicious.

By the way,
Raj is coming over tonight.

-I've been banished.
-Yeah, right,
look at this place.

I mean,
the TV's bigger than my bed,

there's an espresso machine
built into the wall,

and this view is insane.

Why would you want
to come back to our loft?

You do need something
on that wall, though.

Yeah, I just haven't gotten
around to it yet.

Why didn't you want
Mariana to see it?

Um, because she really
can't keep a secret.

Why does it need
to be a secret?

I don't know, you're the one
who bought it anonymously.

Well, because I didn't want
Gael to feel weird about it.

Like I had
some ulterior motive.

Did you?

No.

No, I just, I...
I liked it.

What did you like about it?

I don't know.

I guess I liked the way

the male and female arms
hold each other.

Like a lifeline
in a crumbling world.

-That's deep.
-Oh, shut up.

Do you really think Gael
will care that I bought it?

It just really boosted
his confidence

that he sold a piece.

I don't want
to take that from him.

Like you said, he might think
you had an ulterior motive.

Fair enough.

So, uh, you brushed
over it earlier.

Have you given any more
thought to moving in here?

-I have thought about it.
-Mm-hmm.

And I would love
to move in with you.

But?

I think it might
be too soon.

As much as Mariana
drives me crazy,

this is probably
the last time in our lives

we're gonna be able
to live together.

I like that the Coterie
feels like a family.

I didn't know you were
that close to anyone

besides your sister.

I'm close with Malika.

Close-ish
with Alice and Davia.

I just...

I like how
it feels like home.

You never came to bed.

I had to get this all done.

I know you're not gonna
let me see,

but are your sketches ready?

Yeah, I think so,

but I'm just gonna have
to e-mail them to the client,

because we're presenting
this chat feature
to Evan at five.

Wait, are you crazy?

This meeting could be
the turning point
of your career.

You need to go in person
and sell your work.

If they're good enough,
they should sell themselves.

(scoffs)
You think that Emma Stone
shops off the rack?

She doesn't wear my dress
on the red carpet

because she thinks it's cool.

She wears it because
she thinks I'm cool.

You gotta sell them on you.

And you can't do
that in an e-mail.

Well, what am I supposed to do?
Just leave Mariana hanging?

Sometimes to take
care of yourself,

you have to let people down.

She's also my friend.

Even your friends.

Hey, do you have
those files for me?

Uh, I'm working on them now.

Sorry, I was helping
with an intake.

Teresa:
Relax, Marcus,
I asked her to.

That's not her job.

Well, you took Cary
into the field.

That's not his job.

Okay. Got it.

Uh, Teresa, can I have a second?

Yeah, what's up?

Um, I know you said
we couldn't file

an intervention into
the nuisance abatement suit.

-Mm-hmm.
-But it looks like the owner
of the apartment complex is

actually a big
development company,

and they've been doing this
with other apartment buildings

around the new coliseum,
trying to gentrify
the neighborhood

by whatever means,
legal or otherwise.

I was wondering
if we have grounds
for a class action suit.

Teresa:
What they're doing is horrible.

Unfortunately,
we don't have the resources
to fund a class action.

But I admire your passion.
Keep up the good work.

(yawns)

Okay, six fully loaded lattes.

(yawning):
Oh, thank God.

Thank you for pitching in.

-Oh, of course.
-Uh, guys.

Gael just e-mailed that
he can't make the presentation,

but he put everything
in the shared folder.

What?

Is it loading for you?

No.

(phone ringing)

Gael.

Hey.

-How are you?
-Good to see you again.

-This is David.
-Nice to meet you.

I've heard good things.

Can't wait to see
what you got for me.

Just so we don't keep
you in suspense...

We'd like to offer
you the job.

(laughs)

That's amazing.
Thank you.

-We're really excited.
-So excited.

There's just one issue
regarding your social media.

Yeah, I wanted to tell
you that I went ahead

and removed anything
that might reflect poorly

on me or the company.

All the evidence
of my partying days is gone.

It's not the partying posts.

It's the Black
Lives Matter ones.

As a brand
that celebrates inclusivity,

we don't want to exclude
any of our customers.

-Exclude?
-Polarize.

We have no problem
with you being a BLM member.

We love it.

We just ask, as an employee
and brand ambassador

that you not post or retweet
anything BLM-related.

Uh-huh.

Davia!

So, big news.

Dennis loves you.

I'm pretty sure.

I slept on it,
and I'm pretty positive.

Oh my God,
what did you do?

Do you love Davia?

As more than a friend?

A simple yes or no will do.

(gargling)

Who wants to know?

Inquiring minds?

The point is, he didn't say no.

Just think about it.

Don't worry, I didn't say
it came from you.

I'm still keeping
the mystery alive.

It could be anyone.

Could be me.

He doesn't know that.

Well, it couldn't be me.

And Callie's taken.
So is Mariana.

Marcus:
Can I have a word with you?

In my office?

Sure.

I'm interested in that case
you and Teresa
are talking about.

Oh, um...

Teresa said Legal Aid can't
take on a class action suit.

I disagree.

With the right partners,
we could fund it.

Well, maybe you should
talk to Teresa?

Look, Teresa's good
with the day-to-day cases,

but she's afraid
to take on the big stuff.

But this is important.

Low-income families are being
kicked out of their homes

with nowhere else to go.

And these developers
just move in

and destroy their neighborhoods
and their businesses.

Don't you need
Teresa's approval?

Not on a case like this.

I just need to get our director
to sign off, and I will.

But we need to keep
this between us until then.

You said you wanted more to do.

I'm gonna need
a right hand on this.

Gael:
It went great.

And you were right,
it was really good.

I presented my work in person,

so I could answer
their questions.

You think you got it?

I think I'm in the running.

Yeah, they said they're
gonna make a decision
in the next day or so.

(phone beeps)

Aah shit.
I gotta take this.
Let me call you back.

(phone beeps)

-Hey.
-What the hell?
Where are you?

Um, sorry.

- Something came up.
-Something more important
than your job?

The file that you sent
isn't opening for us.

Shit. All right .
I'll resend it.

And I'm on my way now.

I need the thumb drive
with the event archives on it.

Gael, hold on a second.

I need to find this thumb drive.

I think I left it at Jamie's

when I was there
the other night.

Maybe I can get
Callie to let me in.

Come on, come on, come on!

Yes! Okay, Callie can let us in,

but I don't have
time to go get it.

I can get it.

Okay, um, I will send
you the address.

Blue thumb drive.

I think it's
on the dining room table.

Okay.

I don't know how
to work for a company

that sells itself
as being socially conscious,

but doesn't want to be
too political or polarizing.

Especially when it comes
to black liberation.

I know.

And pretty soon you'll be in
a place where you won't have to.

But right now, you just have
to play the long game.

You know how many
crappy companies I worked for
before I started my own?

(scoffs)
I feel you.

It sucks. Feels like
you're shrinking yourself

to make them feel comfortable.

I know.

But, baby, you have a chance

to make a real change
with this job.

And to succeed after everything
you've been through?

I mean, that's
an act of rebellion.

That's protest, baby.

-(computer bloops)
-It's still not opening.

What the hell, Gael?

Ready to show me
what you've got?

No, we're not ready.

Look, I'm sorry, but I can't
launch this app in ten days

and add a last-minute
chat feature

and chair
the grievance committee

and help certain people
with their personal life.

I just-- I can't do
it all at once.

So, either learn to take
no for an answer

or fire me like
you did Amanda.

How do you know about Amanda?

You know, people talk.

Well...

People don't have the facts.

(shoes squeaking)

Uh, not really.

(footsteps approaching)

Well, I think
I'm probably getting fired.

We both might have
to move in with Jamie.

Hey, can I talk to you?

No, you're still dead to me.

I meant Callie.

Sure.

-You look nice.
-Mm.

I'm going for
casually sexy.

Open for business
but not desperate.

-What do you think?
-Who's your customer?

(sighs)
Dennis.

I'm gonna tell him how I feel.

Oh my God!

Because of me?

I mean, I think
it's great, you know?

Because like I said, you know,
I'm pretty sure he loves you.

I mean, I can't guarantee,
you know,

but I'm almost positive
that he does.

Of course he does!

(chuckling):
Obvi, you know?

But sometimes you can get
like a false-positive.

But not in this case.
This is 100%.

(laughs nervously)

You're good to go.

Wow.

That's, um...

That's a great pep talk.

Melina:
So, we know that the work
that we do is not

just about some concept
of justice.

This is spiritual work.
This is sacred work.

These are about real people,
our people,

whose bodies have been stolen
but whose spirits remain.

And when we call their names,

we summon in
that spiritual energy.

And so we never want to forget

why we're doing the work
that we're doing.

And so we're gonna call the name
of Christopher Deandre Mitchell.

-Can we say his name?
-Say his name!

All:
Christopher Deandre Mitchell.

Let's call Wakiesha Wilson.

Say her name!

All:
Wakiesha Wilson.

Let's call Jamal Thompson.

Say his name!

All:
Jamal Thompson.

Say his name!

All:
Jamal Thompson!

Say his name!

All:
Jamal Thompson!

-Ashay.
-All: Ashay.

All right, so let's get into it.

You ready for this?
