1
00:00:06,862 --> 00:00:09,689
If you can't show respect,
then we'll show you the door.

2
00:00:09,793 --> 00:00:11,000
You need to pull it together.

3
00:00:11,103 --> 00:00:12,724
But what about you?

4
00:00:12,827 --> 00:00:14,586
It's not about you,
like tonight.

5
00:00:14,689 --> 00:00:16,793
So you think
you can pull that off?

6
00:00:16,896 --> 00:00:18,862
Cause I'm starting
to have some doubts, buddy.

7
00:00:18,965 --> 00:00:22,241
This dress is doing its job!

8
00:00:23,862 --> 00:00:26,586
That witch will not ruin
Mother's night.

9
00:00:27,586 --> 00:00:30,103
-Better together.
-Sisters forever.

10
00:00:30,206 --> 00:00:31,827
Articulettes strong!

11
00:00:37,517 --> 00:00:40,103
We are going to get back
to the show in a moment,

12
00:00:40,206 --> 00:00:43,896
but before we do, there is
something very important

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,517
that needs to happen.

14
00:00:46,517 --> 00:00:50,448
You may think
you know the Articulettes,

15
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:54,172
but what you don't know is
there's more to our story.

16
00:00:54,275 --> 00:00:57,137
And it's time to come correct.

17
00:00:57,241 --> 00:00:59,448
Once upon a time,

18
00:00:59,551 --> 00:01:01,379
there were four girls

19
00:01:01,482 --> 00:01:03,551
growing up
in the projects of Chicago.

20
00:01:04,551 --> 00:01:07,413
Not three, like you thought--

21
00:01:07,517 --> 00:01:09,448
like we let you think.

22
00:01:09,551 --> 00:01:11,310
There was another Articulette.

23
00:01:11,413 --> 00:01:14,310
She was the one
who dreamed us up.

24
00:01:14,413 --> 00:01:16,206
She was the one
who brought us together,

25
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:19,620
the one who made us sisters.

26
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:22,862
And she should be here tonight,

27
00:01:22,965 --> 00:01:24,862
up on this stage,

28
00:01:24,965 --> 00:01:26,931
reuniting with us,

29
00:01:27,033 --> 00:01:29,310
celebrating with us.

30
00:01:29,413 --> 00:01:33,655
But sadly, we lost her too soon.

31
00:01:35,275 --> 00:01:38,689
So, before we sing another song

32
00:01:38,793 --> 00:01:41,103
or take another step,

33
00:01:41,206 --> 00:01:43,723
it's time to honor her,

34
00:01:43,827 --> 00:01:46,103
remember her,

35
00:01:46,206 --> 00:01:48,310
celebrate her.

00:03:41,517 --> 00:03:43,758
Everyone,

38
00:03:43,862 --> 00:03:46,448
meet the lost Articulette,

39
00:03:46,551 --> 00:03:49,241
our founder,
our heart, our soul,

40
00:03:49,344 --> 00:03:52,103
our sister, Barbara Mitchell.

41
00:03:55,586 --> 00:03:58,034
-Couldn't believe that.
-How did you do this?

42
00:03:58,137 --> 00:04:00,241
You brought her back to us.

43
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,724
That was everything.

44
00:04:05,827 --> 00:04:07,482
You brought her back to life
for my mother.

45
00:04:07,586 --> 00:04:09,206
How can I ever thank you?

46
00:04:09,310 --> 00:04:11,000
You just did.

47
00:04:11,103 --> 00:04:12,862
Anything for your mother.

48
00:04:12,965 --> 00:04:14,965
And for you, Dani.

49
00:04:15,068 --> 00:04:18,067
Some of you may have heard
of Barbara,

50
00:04:18,172 --> 00:04:20,137
but most of you haven't.

51
00:04:20,241 --> 00:04:22,413
Her life ended in tragedy.

52
00:04:24,413 --> 00:04:26,068
And I'm to blame.

53
00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:29,206
I failed her.

54
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:30,689
I should have stood up for her.

55
00:04:30,793 --> 00:04:32,482
Instead, I walked away.

56
00:04:33,793 --> 00:04:35,793
I didn't protect her.

57
00:04:35,896 --> 00:04:38,172
And I am so sorry, Barbara.

58
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:44,758
But Barbara lives on
in our music,

59
00:04:44,862 --> 00:04:46,586
and in each of every one of you

60
00:04:46,689 --> 00:04:50,034
who was touched and enriched
by the group she created.

61
00:04:51,379 --> 00:04:55,000
Tonight, finally, rightfully,

62
00:04:55,103 --> 00:04:58,344
she joins us on this stage.

63
00:04:58,448 --> 00:05:02,103
So, please, put your hands
together for Barbara Mitchell.

64
00:05:02,206 --> 00:05:04,241
Let's give her her flowers.

65
00:05:06,034 --> 00:05:08,034
At last.

66
00:05:11,068 --> 00:05:13,551
Let's say her name.

67
00:05:13,655 --> 00:05:14,896
Barbara!

68
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,517
Barbara! Barbara!

69
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:19,758
Barbara! Barbara! Barbara!

70
00:05:19,862 --> 00:05:23,310
Barbara! Barbara! Barbara!

71
00:05:23,413 --> 00:05:26,965
Barbara!
Barbara! Barbara!

72
00:05:28,724 --> 00:05:30,137
Barbara.

73
00:05:54,103 --> 00:05:56,103
Damn, you are so beautiful.

74
00:05:56,206 --> 00:05:58,344
But even more so
when you're happy.

75
00:06:00,034 --> 00:06:01,793
I wish
I could kiss you right now.

76
00:06:01,896 --> 00:06:05,034
So kiss me already.

77
00:06:09,310 --> 00:06:10,931
Did you see that?!

78
00:06:12,068 --> 00:06:14,034
You're not acting surprised.

79
00:06:14,137 --> 00:06:15,827
Come on, Chelsea.
You should have told me.

80
00:06:15,931 --> 00:06:17,551
I guess I didn't want
to ruin the moment.

81
00:06:17,655 --> 00:06:18,965
And you're okay with this?

82
00:06:19,068 --> 00:06:20,758
You're not? Mom's single.

83
00:06:20,862 --> 00:06:23,241
He's hot, she's hot,
and she's not mooning over Dad.

84
00:06:23,344 --> 00:06:25,551
I just...
I didn't expect to see Mom

85
00:06:25,655 --> 00:06:27,000
making out
with a guy that young,

86
00:06:27,103 --> 00:06:29,103
and someone
who's semi-related to us.

87
00:06:29,206 --> 00:06:30,241
I don't know what to think.

88
00:06:30,344 --> 00:06:32,137
Process later.

89
00:06:32,241 --> 00:06:34,241
Listen to me.

90
00:07:21,655 --> 00:07:22,655
You did good, Anita.

91
00:07:22,758 --> 00:07:24,275
Thank you.

92
00:07:24,379 --> 00:07:28,206
I want you to know,
I forgive you for all of it.

93
00:07:59,620 --> 00:08:02,586
Excuse us, excuse us. Excuse us.

94
00:08:02,689 --> 00:08:04,034
Oh. Toodles.

95
00:08:06,379 --> 00:08:08,206
I think
I'm gonna call it a night.

96
00:08:08,310 --> 00:08:10,689
Can't stand to see Mom
with her new boy toy?

97
00:08:10,793 --> 00:08:13,586
I guess
I just need a minute to process.

98
00:08:13,689 --> 00:08:15,965
And I have a mountain of work
to get home to, so...

99
00:08:16,068 --> 00:08:17,931
We were supposed
to make a night of it, Naomi.

100
00:08:18,034 --> 00:08:20,448
I will give Gran
a proper good-night backstage.

101
00:08:23,034 --> 00:08:25,172
So, what did you guys think
of the show?

102
00:08:25,275 --> 00:08:26,551
It was cool.

103
00:08:26,655 --> 00:08:29,482
Tonight was a big night
for Duprees.

104
00:08:29,586 --> 00:08:31,724
And no matter what happens
between your Pop and I,

105
00:08:31,827 --> 00:08:34,827
the Duprees are still
our family. Always.

106
00:08:36,275 --> 00:08:37,688
Pop. Oh, my God.

107
00:08:37,793 --> 00:08:39,620
Great Gran sounded even better
than her old videos.

108
00:08:39,724 --> 00:08:43,206
Time has been kind
to Anita Dupree.

109
00:08:43,309 --> 00:08:45,379
-Good to see you, son.
-Yeah.

110
00:08:46,931 --> 00:08:50,103
School tomorrow, but you and Dad
should keep the party going.

111
00:08:50,206 --> 00:08:51,482
Tell us who wins.

112
00:08:51,586 --> 00:08:54,206
Not tonight. I'm wiped.

113
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:06,413
No pressure, I promise.

114
00:09:06,517 --> 00:09:08,413
You're more than welcome
to come to the after-party.

115
00:09:08,517 --> 00:09:11,310
I know Gran would love
to see you, and...

116
00:09:11,413 --> 00:09:12,862
so would I.

117
00:09:12,965 --> 00:09:15,000
I'll see what I can do.

118
00:09:27,344 --> 00:09:28,965
It was a night to remember

119
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:32,000
at Washington D.C.'s
legendary Howard Theater,

120
00:09:32,103 --> 00:09:34,310
where music royalty
took center stage

121
00:09:34,413 --> 00:09:35,965
for a once-in-a-lifetime
reunion

122
00:09:36,068 --> 00:09:37,344
that literally
brought the house down, y' all.

123
00:09:37,448 --> 00:09:38,793
Yeah, it did. Their songs

124
00:09:38,896 --> 00:09:40,103
are the soundtrack of our lives.

125
00:09:40,206 --> 00:09:41,931
And for the first time
in decades,

126
00:09:42,034 --> 00:09:43,931
these soulful divas
were performing

127
00:09:44,034 --> 00:09:45,517
in front of a sold-out crowd.

128
00:09:45,620 --> 00:09:48,862
I am talking about
the legendary Articulettes--

129
00:09:48,965 --> 00:09:50,689
Anita Williams, Sharon Winger

130
00:09:50,793 --> 00:09:52,931
and Tracy Tyler brought
that girl-group magic

131
00:09:53,034 --> 00:09:54,448
back to the stage.

132
00:09:54,551 --> 00:09:57,379
Front and center in the audience
for this colossal comeback,

133
00:09:57,482 --> 00:10:00,275
the first family
of Fairmont Crest-- the Duprees.

134
00:10:14,103 --> 00:10:17,448
Gran, you were phenomenal.

135
00:10:18,689 --> 00:10:21,034
-You pushed me out there.
-No.

136
00:10:21,137 --> 00:10:23,000
Nobody pushes Anita Dupree
where she doesn't want to go.

137
00:10:23,103 --> 00:10:25,827
All right, well, you made me
admit it to myself.

138
00:10:25,931 --> 00:10:27,793
Well, I'm just happy
to be a part

139
00:10:27,896 --> 00:10:31,137
of the greatest reunion concert
of all time.

140
00:10:32,827 --> 00:10:36,724
Now, will you hate me if I have
to miss the after-party?

141
00:10:36,827 --> 00:10:38,413
Oh, no, of course not.

142
00:10:38,517 --> 00:10:40,931
You were here
for the most important part.

143
00:10:41,034 --> 00:10:43,034
So go on back
to your legal briefs,

144
00:10:43,137 --> 00:10:45,793
and we'll celebrate
with Jacob some other time.

145
00:10:45,896 --> 00:10:47,689
-Okay. I love you.
-I love you more.

146
00:10:50,931 --> 00:10:53,896
Ooh. My hand hurts
from signing autographs.

147
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,551
I never thought
I'd say that again.

148
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:57,931
It's a good hurt.

149
00:10:58,034 --> 00:10:59,413
Now you.

150
00:10:59,517 --> 00:11:03,310
I know we said we would make
all the decisions together.

151
00:11:03,413 --> 00:11:06,000
We don't apologize for the good.

152
00:11:06,103 --> 00:11:08,448
I have to believe
she's smiling down on us.

153
00:11:08,551 --> 00:11:10,275
Oh, I hope so.

154
00:11:13,413 --> 00:11:16,379
Hug as long as you like.

155
00:11:16,482 --> 00:11:18,586
But when you're ready,
your chariot awaits.

156
00:11:18,689 --> 00:11:20,931
Ooh la la.

157
00:11:21,034 --> 00:11:23,793
-Thank you, Senator.
-Thank you.

158
00:11:28,241 --> 00:11:32,413
You've never been more radiant
or sounded so beautiful.

159
00:11:33,379 --> 00:11:35,827
Pinch me.

160
00:11:35,931 --> 00:11:41,241
Because having them back is
just a dream come true.

161
00:11:41,344 --> 00:11:43,137
I know, baby.

162
00:11:43,241 --> 00:11:44,379
I know.

163
00:11:52,379 --> 00:11:55,000
What is wrong with that woman?

164
00:11:55,103 --> 00:11:56,344
Welcome to my world.

165
00:11:56,448 --> 00:11:57,758
Hayley's been everywhere
for months.

166
00:11:57,862 --> 00:12:00,620
At least Leslie's not flaunting
a baby bump in your face.

167
00:12:00,724 --> 00:12:03,448
No, she had her baby sitting
next to her at the concert.

168
00:12:03,551 --> 00:12:05,172
Touché, Sissy.

169
00:12:05,275 --> 00:12:08,482
You win the award for most
scorned Dupree woman tonight.

170
00:12:09,517 --> 00:12:11,689
Please tell me that we rented
out the entire country club.

171
00:12:11,793 --> 00:12:13,965
Daddy wouldn't have it
any other way.

172
00:12:14,068 --> 00:12:16,379
It's as exclusive as we are.

173
00:12:16,482 --> 00:12:19,034
I... don't see any Thomases.

174
00:12:19,137 --> 00:12:20,482
You don't?

175
00:12:20,586 --> 00:12:22,172
Well, I'm sure
if you check again,

176
00:12:22,275 --> 00:12:25,206
you'll see because we bought
these ridiculously expensive

177
00:12:25,310 --> 00:12:29,827
VIP tickets, and there is an
after-party included, of course.

178
00:12:29,931 --> 00:12:33,241
Oh. It's invited guests only,
ma'am.

179
00:12:33,344 --> 00:12:35,068
I'm sorry, Ms. Thomas.

180
00:12:35,172 --> 00:12:36,827
Not as sorry as you're gonna be

181
00:12:36,931 --> 00:12:38,827
if you don't make sure
that we get in to this...

182
00:12:38,931 --> 00:12:40,344
There's nothing that I can do.

183
00:12:40,448 --> 00:12:42,344
Can we please leave

184
00:12:42,448 --> 00:12:43,793
before we literally die
of embarrassment?

185
00:12:46,241 --> 00:12:47,931
You know that all that shame
of yours comes

186
00:12:48,034 --> 00:12:49,482
from your daddy's side
of the gene pool.

187
00:12:49,586 --> 00:12:51,655
Now, you did not have
to follow me here, little girl.

188
00:12:51,758 --> 00:12:54,482
Well, excuse me for not
wanting you to go to jail.

189
00:12:54,586 --> 00:12:56,724
Well, I did not get
all dressed up

190
00:12:56,827 --> 00:13:00,103
and looking fine
just to miss this party, okay?

191
00:13:01,137 --> 00:13:04,448
Last time I checked,
the club doesn't have

192
00:13:04,551 --> 00:13:07,000
a mother-daughter
home-wrecker night.

193
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:15,172
How did you get past the gates?

194
00:13:15,275 --> 00:13:17,793
My father wanted me
to have a pass.

195
00:13:17,896 --> 00:13:19,586
You know, since
I'm his daughter, just like you.

196
00:13:19,689 --> 00:13:23,413
Dad knows better than to show up
on Gran's big night,

197
00:13:23,517 --> 00:13:27,793
let alone bring his ho
and the proof of his infidelity

198
00:13:27,896 --> 00:13:31,793
on a night that means everything
to my mom and her mom.

199
00:13:31,896 --> 00:13:33,862
-We're not here
to start any drama.
-Okay.

200
00:13:33,965 --> 00:13:36,137
You have two seconds

201
00:13:36,241 --> 00:13:38,793
to get the hell out
before I make you. One...

202
00:13:38,896 --> 00:13:41,793
First of all, I got your ho.

203
00:13:41,896 --> 00:13:44,310
Secondly, do you really think
that your little Kit-Kat

204
00:13:44,413 --> 00:13:47,137
manicured claws
can compete with mine?

205
00:13:47,241 --> 00:13:50,000
Our money is just as good
as anyone else's here.

206
00:13:50,103 --> 00:13:52,000
I confirmed.
You're not on the guest list.

207
00:13:52,103 --> 00:13:53,655
Y'all both need to go.

208
00:13:53,758 --> 00:13:56,275
This concert was
a shining example

209
00:13:56,379 --> 00:13:59,000
of everything it means
to be a Dupree.

210
00:13:59,103 --> 00:14:02,827
And you want to remind everyone
of the lie

211
00:14:02,931 --> 00:14:05,000
that almost wrecked everything.

212
00:14:05,103 --> 00:14:08,034
Well, it's not happening,
and we're not broken.

213
00:14:08,137 --> 00:14:12,862
I'm not here to hurt Nicole
or you or anyone, okay?

214
00:14:12,965 --> 00:14:14,310
I came to stop my mom,

215
00:14:14,413 --> 00:14:16,862
so can we just take this down
a notch?

216
00:14:17,896 --> 00:14:20,793
We don't need anyone
who doesn't need us.

217
00:14:24,413 --> 00:14:26,827
Okay, I tried this the nice way.

218
00:14:26,931 --> 00:14:29,413
Child, do you have
another speed?

219
00:14:29,517 --> 00:14:32,482
Come with me now, or we aren't
the Gilmore Girls anymore.

220
00:14:32,586 --> 00:14:33,655
We aren't anything.

221
00:14:33,758 --> 00:14:35,862
Oh, that hurts.

222
00:14:35,965 --> 00:14:37,965
I was just attempting to...

223
00:14:38,068 --> 00:14:41,896
-Elbow your way in?
-Mm. Fine.

224
00:14:45,482 --> 00:14:47,862
I'm gone, children.

225
00:14:47,965 --> 00:14:50,655
But those gates
are merely an obstacle

226
00:14:50,758 --> 00:14:52,827
that I can jump over,

227
00:14:52,931 --> 00:14:55,379
limbo under,

228
00:14:55,482 --> 00:14:57,379
or shove up your little

229
00:14:57,482 --> 00:15:00,724
-trifling bougie...
-Okay, okay. Good night.

230
00:15:02,689 --> 00:15:04,379
I think my heart's
gonna burst out of my chest.

231
00:15:04,482 --> 00:15:06,034
Mother did the thing.

232
00:15:06,137 --> 00:15:08,068
With gifts like hers,
she could have been doing this

233
00:15:08,172 --> 00:15:10,206
24-7 her entire life.

234
00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:12,551
Instead,
she took the time to raise us.

235
00:15:12,655 --> 00:15:14,655
She was a star
at being our mother, too.

236
00:15:14,758 --> 00:15:16,758
There is not one minute

237
00:15:16,862 --> 00:15:20,172
that Anita Dupree didn't do
exactly what she wanted to do.

238
00:15:20,275 --> 00:15:22,379
-I'm just glad
she's doing this again.
-Mm.

239
00:15:22,482 --> 00:15:23,793
Hi.

240
00:15:23,896 --> 00:15:26,793
Gran was on fire, wasn't she?

241
00:15:26,896 --> 00:15:29,034
Then why the stank face?

242
00:15:29,137 --> 00:15:34,206
Well, we just had an encounter
of the Leslie-Eva kind.

243
00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:38,241
What? Ted isn't even here.

244
00:15:38,344 --> 00:15:39,448
Why would she crash?

245
00:15:39,551 --> 00:15:41,655
All right, maybe
I'd better go double-check.

246
00:15:41,758 --> 00:15:43,758
Ease up, Mom. They're probably
already at Orphey Gene's.

247
00:15:43,862 --> 00:15:45,517
Eva was trying
to drag her mama there.

248
00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:46,827
Good riddance.

249
00:15:46,931 --> 00:15:49,724
As if coming to the concert
wasn't bad enough.

250
00:15:49,827 --> 00:15:51,862
What is her game tonight?

251
00:15:52,896 --> 00:15:55,206
I am not gonna let her ruin
this night for us.

252
00:15:55,310 --> 00:15:58,896
Nicole, what happened to
"When they go low, we go high"?

253
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,103
That train left with my husband.

254
00:16:01,206 --> 00:16:03,103
Reminder.

255
00:16:03,206 --> 00:16:05,724
The Beyoncé's Lemonadebat
belongs to me.

256
00:16:05,827 --> 00:16:08,586
Well, I'm borrowing it.
I will be back before the toast.

257
00:16:08,689 --> 00:16:10,551
-Aunt Nicole?
-Mom.

258
00:16:10,655 --> 00:16:13,896
Ladies and gentlemen,

259
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,965
may I present the Articulettes.

260
00:16:20,689 --> 00:16:23,448
All hail the queens!

261
00:16:32,620 --> 00:16:35,793
You were magnificent,
like not even a day had passed.

262
00:16:35,896 --> 00:16:39,310
Oh, my hands were shaking
like a leaf.

263
00:16:39,413 --> 00:16:40,551
Felt like coming home.

264
00:16:40,655 --> 00:16:42,517
Well, you wouldn't
know it, Tracy.

265
00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:44,517
Your voices were butter.

266
00:16:44,620 --> 00:16:47,586
What's next? An album? Touring?

267
00:16:47,689 --> 00:16:50,137
Oh, we like the way you think.

268
00:16:50,241 --> 00:16:51,862
I am just so glad
you did this, Gran,

269
00:16:51,965 --> 00:16:55,517
so that us grandkids got to see
you and your groupmates live.

270
00:16:55,620 --> 00:16:58,034
I will never forget
this night, Gran.

271
00:16:58,137 --> 00:17:00,206
Having you all there meant
the world to me, too.

272
00:17:00,310 --> 00:17:02,275
Samantha and Tyrell wanted me

273
00:17:02,379 --> 00:17:04,550
to pass along
their congratulations.

274
00:17:04,655 --> 00:17:06,723
They went home with Smitty.

275
00:17:06,827 --> 00:17:11,241
No wonder
Martin's looking a little down.

276
00:17:11,344 --> 00:17:14,103
But at least
he and Smitty and the kids got

277
00:17:14,205 --> 00:17:15,619
to experience
the concert together.

278
00:17:15,723 --> 00:17:16,758
Wow. Ms. Anita,

279
00:17:16,862 --> 00:17:18,378
you were perfection.

280
00:17:18,482 --> 00:17:19,792
Thank you, Andre.

281
00:17:19,896 --> 00:17:22,862
-Yeah, man, wasn't she
something else?
-She was.

282
00:17:22,964 --> 00:17:25,586
I think Kat was waving at me.

283
00:17:25,689 --> 00:17:28,068
-I love you, Gran.
-Oh, love you, too, baby.

284
00:17:29,551 --> 00:17:31,931
Hey, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt.

285
00:17:32,034 --> 00:17:33,931
Oh, no, no, no.
You were right on time,

286
00:17:34,034 --> 00:17:35,896
giving me the opportunity

287
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,241
to tell you
you were perfection, too.

288
00:17:38,344 --> 00:17:39,655
Ah, it was not a big deal.

289
00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:41,517
-Really.
-No, Andre, truly.

290
00:17:41,620 --> 00:17:44,413
I had a vision of what
that video might look like

291
00:17:44,517 --> 00:17:49,103
and make us feel,
but your execution was...

292
00:17:49,206 --> 00:17:52,482
I mean, the precision
and the heart.

293
00:17:52,586 --> 00:17:54,689
It'll stay with me always.

294
00:17:54,793 --> 00:17:56,103
You brought Barbara
back to life,

295
00:17:56,206 --> 00:17:57,724
even if just for a night.

296
00:17:57,827 --> 00:17:59,586
Well, what can I say?

297
00:17:59,689 --> 00:18:02,724
-It's not every night
that I get to help a queen.
-Oh.

298
00:18:02,827 --> 00:18:05,137
-Do you have time to do
one more autograph?
-Of course.

299
00:18:06,172 --> 00:18:07,965
What's your mother's name?
Oh, no, this is for me.

300
00:18:08,068 --> 00:18:10,827
Sign it to Shanice,
your favorite fan.

301
00:18:10,931 --> 00:18:14,517
I just can't get over how many
younger people like you are

302
00:18:14,620 --> 00:18:16,931
out there cheering us on.

303
00:18:17,034 --> 00:18:20,241
Thank you.
Nice to meet you, Shanice.

304
00:18:20,344 --> 00:18:21,620
Excuse me.

305
00:18:21,724 --> 00:18:23,448
So how are you connected
to this crew?

306
00:18:23,551 --> 00:18:25,448
I'm a nurse/physical therapist

307
00:18:25,551 --> 00:18:27,000
at the hospital where
Ms. Anita's daughter works.

308
00:18:27,103 --> 00:18:28,827
-Okay.
-And when I'm putting a patient

309
00:18:28,931 --> 00:18:31,103
through the paces,
nothing inspires me more

310
00:18:31,206 --> 00:18:33,103
like an Articulettes anthem.

311
00:18:36,172 --> 00:18:38,551
Well, aren't you something?

312
00:18:38,655 --> 00:18:41,172
-Tracy.
-Yes.

313
00:18:41,275 --> 00:18:42,793
Thank you, Shanice.
It was a pleasure meeting you.

314
00:18:44,344 --> 00:18:45,241
I was just thanking

315
00:18:45,344 --> 00:18:47,620
this man for being a magician,

316
00:18:47,724 --> 00:18:50,448
but he can't seem to take
a compliment to save his life.

317
00:18:50,551 --> 00:18:53,103
That video was the beating heart
of this night.

318
00:18:53,206 --> 00:18:54,724
Now, you all were incredible,
okay?

319
00:18:54,827 --> 00:18:56,758
We know.

320
00:18:56,862 --> 00:18:59,137
See what I did there
with that compliment?

321
00:18:59,241 --> 00:19:01,758
You know what? Um, you look like
you could use some champagne.

322
00:19:01,862 --> 00:19:04,620
So let me see what I can do
about that. Uh, shall we?

323
00:19:05,655 --> 00:19:07,413
That performance had everything.

324
00:19:07,517 --> 00:19:11,482
Drama, beauty,
mystery, redemption.

325
00:19:11,586 --> 00:19:14,137
Headlines are off the charts.

326
00:19:14,241 --> 00:19:17,724
"A Diva Returneth," uh,
not that there was any doubt.

327
00:19:17,827 --> 00:19:19,724
Well, I hope they're not all
about me.

328
00:19:19,827 --> 00:19:21,689
Well, take a look yourself.

329
00:19:23,551 --> 00:19:25,965
"Reunited,
and It Feels So Good,"

330
00:19:26,068 --> 00:19:29,620
"The Lost Articulette,"
"The Fab Four."

331
00:19:29,724 --> 00:19:31,965
They're all acknowledging
Barbara.

332
00:19:32,068 --> 00:19:33,344
Yes, they are.

333
00:19:33,448 --> 00:19:36,310
Now, are you ready for me
to build a solo tour for you?

334
00:19:36,413 --> 00:19:38,310
I'm sorry,

335
00:19:38,413 --> 00:19:42,103
but the home fires burn brighter
when I'm stoking them.

336
00:19:42,206 --> 00:19:44,655
Whenever you're ready...

337
00:19:44,758 --> 00:19:47,448
Mrs. Dupree, I'm here.

338
00:19:48,482 --> 00:19:52,206
Well, as for the tour,
I know two divas

339
00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:54,862
who could be the answer
you're looking for.

340
00:19:54,965 --> 00:19:57,827
And I'd move quick before
somebody else snaps 'em up.

341
00:20:00,068 --> 00:20:01,827
I can craft quite the story
around that comeback.

342
00:20:01,931 --> 00:20:03,931
Not to mention those voices.

343
00:20:04,034 --> 00:20:05,965
But only if you promise

344
00:20:06,068 --> 00:20:09,000
you'll call me
the second you're ready.

345
00:20:09,103 --> 00:20:11,551
Even if it's just a drop-in
as a special guest.

346
00:20:11,655 --> 00:20:14,034
I promise.

347
00:20:14,137 --> 00:20:16,137
But I want to be at home.

348
00:20:18,172 --> 00:20:20,103
Gran outdid herself.

349
00:20:20,206 --> 00:20:22,000
She did.

350
00:20:22,103 --> 00:20:24,931
Now, how are you holding up?

351
00:20:25,034 --> 00:20:29,344
It felt great to have Smitty
and the kids at the concert,

352
00:20:29,448 --> 00:20:32,896
but Smitty was just being
the stand-up dad that he is.

353
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,448
Well, maybe your grandmother
inspired some forgiveness

354
00:20:36,551 --> 00:20:39,206
into that man of yours, huh?

355
00:20:39,310 --> 00:20:41,517
I thought he might return
to the party,

356
00:20:41,620 --> 00:20:44,310
and if he's here
and you're here...

357
00:20:44,413 --> 00:20:49,103
Thanks, Granddad,
but I don't see them here.

358
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:52,379
And I don't think
tonight is the night for...

359
00:21:02,586 --> 00:21:05,965
Okay, I'm waiting.
Where's the riot act?

360
00:21:06,068 --> 00:21:08,275
No riot act, just love.

361
00:21:08,379 --> 00:21:11,034
You get points
for walking away peacefully.

362
00:21:11,137 --> 00:21:13,724
No deductions
for putting up a fight?

363
00:21:13,827 --> 00:21:15,344
You wouldn't be my mama
if you didn't.

364
00:21:16,793 --> 00:21:18,448
Besides,
no one changes overnight.

365
00:21:18,551 --> 00:21:21,379
I mean, we just watched
the perfect Anita Dupree sing

366
00:21:21,482 --> 00:21:24,620
a freaking redemption song
for one of her bandmates.

367
00:21:24,724 --> 00:21:27,517
Or was that another Dupree

368
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:32,724
trying to make another woman's
tragedy all about her?

369
00:21:32,827 --> 00:21:36,517
You're judging someone
making things all about them?

370
00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:40,482
I really wanted us
to have a nice night, okay?

371
00:21:40,586 --> 00:21:42,068
Do you wish you hadn't come?

372
00:21:42,172 --> 00:21:44,827
The opposite. You surprised me.

373
00:21:44,931 --> 00:21:46,896
A good surprise.

374
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,379
You knew the words
to every ArticuletteS song.

375
00:21:50,482 --> 00:21:52,551
You were all lit up,

376
00:21:52,655 --> 00:21:55,827
like you were remembering
a happier, simpler time.

377
00:21:55,931 --> 00:21:58,758
Before Ted, before me.

378
00:21:58,862 --> 00:22:00,655
-Little Leslie.
-Aw.

379
00:22:00,758 --> 00:22:02,793
And I'm glad I got to see her.

380
00:22:02,896 --> 00:22:07,068
Yeah, mm, I hate that all roads
lead to the Duprees.

381
00:22:07,172 --> 00:22:11,034
Even Nicole had dibs on
the soundtrack of my childhood.

382
00:22:12,068 --> 00:22:13,827
About that, Mama.

383
00:22:13,931 --> 00:22:17,862
Look, I chose
not to be mad at you before,

384
00:22:17,965 --> 00:22:20,482
and maybe you can make a choice
for me now.

385
00:22:22,206 --> 00:22:26,137
I need the space to make a go
of it with Ted, okay?

386
00:22:26,241 --> 00:22:29,137
I want to have what neither
of us had. I want my father.

387
00:22:29,241 --> 00:22:32,620
So I need you to back off this
feud and stay away from Nicole.

388
00:22:32,724 --> 00:22:34,482
Okay?

389
00:22:34,586 --> 00:22:38,655
You have trespassed on
the Duprees for the last time.

390
00:22:38,758 --> 00:22:41,206
I should have you arrested.

391
00:22:43,206 --> 00:22:45,793
I imagine Mom is giving Leslie
another reason

392
00:22:45,896 --> 00:22:47,620
to go scarf shopping.

393
00:22:47,724 --> 00:22:50,000
But that's more you
than Aunt Nicole.

394
00:22:50,103 --> 00:22:51,827
So what's going on with her?

395
00:22:51,931 --> 00:22:53,862
Perhaps recent events
have shown your aunt

396
00:22:53,965 --> 00:22:57,206
that she and I are more alike
than either of us ever imagined.

397
00:22:57,310 --> 00:22:59,931
I'm so glad you decided
to come back and join the party.

398
00:23:00,034 --> 00:23:02,034
When you took the kids home...

399
00:23:02,137 --> 00:23:04,896
They did encourage me to come.

400
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,862
Tonight just confirmed
what I already knew.

401
00:23:07,965 --> 00:23:10,000
You are a goddess, Anita.

402
00:23:10,103 --> 00:23:13,206
And you are a saint, Smitty.

403
00:23:13,310 --> 00:23:16,344
Vernon and I owe you an apology.

404
00:23:16,448 --> 00:23:20,068
What you did was out of love
for my husband.

405
00:23:20,172 --> 00:23:22,206
I can't say I'm over it yet,

406
00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:26,000
but remembering that
will help me get there.

407
00:23:29,862 --> 00:23:30,931
So,

408
00:23:31,034 --> 00:23:33,586
will Aunt Nicole
also be adopting a boy toy?

409
00:23:33,689 --> 00:23:36,448
-What?
-That's my mom
you're talking about.

410
00:23:36,551 --> 00:23:39,448
I'm just saying, I hope
I'm still bagging baddies

411
00:23:39,551 --> 00:23:41,172
half my age
when I'm my mom's age.

412
00:23:41,275 --> 00:23:43,241
You wish.

413
00:23:43,344 --> 00:23:45,655
Listen, this is not the way
that I wanted you to find out.

414
00:23:45,758 --> 00:23:48,896
And I hope you never go through
what I went through.

415
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,586
But if you do...
that you find happiness,

416
00:23:51,689 --> 00:23:53,586
whatever form it takes.

417
00:23:53,689 --> 00:23:56,965
Mm. Am I gonna have
to call him Stepdaddy?

418
00:23:57,068 --> 00:24:00,275
I'm gonna go find
my actual daddy.

419
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,896
Well, Chelsea, Kat.

420
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,068
-Uh, great evening, right?
-Yes.

421
00:24:08,172 --> 00:24:10,724
It is, just how I like it--
full of tea.

422
00:24:10,827 --> 00:24:12,172
I was actually just talking
to my mom

423
00:24:12,275 --> 00:24:14,827
about what Naomi and I
should call you now that...

424
00:24:15,793 --> 00:24:18,000
What are you exactly?

425
00:24:18,103 --> 00:24:20,793
- Chelsea...
- Well, um...

426
00:24:20,896 --> 00:24:21,965
there's Jim.

427
00:24:22,068 --> 00:24:23,586
I need to get one of our bags

428
00:24:23,689 --> 00:24:26,103
in one of his famous client's
hands.

429
00:24:29,551 --> 00:24:32,241
Yeah. So, are you asking me
about my intentions?

430
00:24:32,344 --> 00:24:34,000
Obviously, you're the reason

431
00:24:34,103 --> 00:24:35,965
why Mom's been a lot
less focused on dad lately,

432
00:24:36,068 --> 00:24:38,586
so we owe you a family
thank you.

433
00:24:38,689 --> 00:24:39,689
But I hope
that you're using protection,

434
00:24:39,793 --> 00:24:42,448
'cause, um,
I heard about your rep.

435
00:24:42,551 --> 00:24:44,689
Okay, um, I have nothing
but respect for your mother.

436
00:24:44,793 --> 00:24:47,482
We're cool, Andre,

437
00:24:47,586 --> 00:24:49,172
but if you hurt her,

438
00:24:49,275 --> 00:24:52,034
you will have
the entire family to deal with.

439
00:24:52,137 --> 00:24:54,241
Oh, my girlfriend's here.

440
00:24:54,344 --> 00:24:55,655
To be continued.

441
00:25:01,655 --> 00:25:03,620
I'm so glad you could make it.

442
00:25:03,724 --> 00:25:07,137
Oh, I was not about to miss
meeting the famous Anita Dupree.

443
00:25:07,241 --> 00:25:09,206
She's even more luminous
in person.

444
00:25:09,310 --> 00:25:11,689
Come on, let's break the seal.
She doesn't bite.

445
00:25:11,793 --> 00:25:13,689
No, no. Wait, wait. I know
you're used to being around her,

446
00:25:13,793 --> 00:25:17,068
like, all the time,
but she's a really big deal.

447
00:25:17,172 --> 00:25:18,379
Oh, God. I think
I just need a minute

448
00:25:18,482 --> 00:25:20,137
to just stand here
and breathe for a second.

449
00:25:20,241 --> 00:25:22,413
Dr. Madison Montgomery
is starstruck.

450
00:25:22,517 --> 00:25:25,034
Yeah, and not ashamed
to admit it.

451
00:25:25,137 --> 00:25:26,586
Gran doesn't bite.

452
00:25:26,689 --> 00:25:28,172
The sooner she meets you,
the sooner

453
00:25:28,275 --> 00:25:30,310
she'll fall in love with you,
just like I did.

454
00:25:30,413 --> 00:25:32,310
Come on.

455
00:25:37,551 --> 00:25:39,000
This concert
is open to the public.

456
00:25:39,103 --> 00:25:42,241
I am a lifelong fan,
believe it or not,

457
00:25:42,344 --> 00:25:44,241
so you should be thanking me,
Nicky.

458
00:25:44,344 --> 00:25:46,896
What on earth for?

459
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,034
The Articulettes have been over
for years,

460
00:25:50,137 --> 00:25:53,034
so this little attempt
to resurrect them from the dead,

461
00:25:53,137 --> 00:25:55,862
well, it needed all the support
it could get.

462
00:25:57,689 --> 00:26:01,172
I need you to dig way down deep
into that well of jealousy

463
00:26:01,275 --> 00:26:04,379
and see if there is even a shred
of decency left.

464
00:26:06,068 --> 00:26:09,586
My mom is telling the truth,
Nicole. She's always been a fan.

465
00:26:09,689 --> 00:26:12,448
She really wasn't
trying anything this time.

466
00:26:12,551 --> 00:26:14,448
I know what a big night this is.

467
00:26:14,551 --> 00:26:16,793
If you knew that, then
you wouldn't have been there.

468
00:26:16,896 --> 00:26:19,896
And if you really are a big fan,

469
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,551
I'll make sure
you get a signed vinyl.

470
00:26:23,655 --> 00:26:25,586
But I will put it
where the sun don't shine

471
00:26:25,689 --> 00:26:28,517
if you don't step off.

472
00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:31,172
Ooh.

473
00:26:31,275 --> 00:26:34,586
Mm. That shrink needs
to be shrunk, honey.

474
00:26:36,724 --> 00:26:39,655
Gran, this is Madison.

475
00:26:39,758 --> 00:26:43,034
I don't know whether
I should curtsy or pass out.

476
00:26:43,137 --> 00:26:45,931
How about we start with a hug?

477
00:26:49,379 --> 00:26:51,724
Anita Dupree just hugged me.

478
00:26:51,827 --> 00:26:53,275
And I just said that out loud.

479
00:26:53,379 --> 00:26:55,379
Sorry. I'm a big, big fan.

480
00:26:55,482 --> 00:26:57,068
Well, it's mutual.

481
00:26:57,172 --> 00:26:59,724
You are the legendary
Dr. Montgomery.

482
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:03,068
Chelsea's been singing
your praises nonstop.

483
00:27:03,172 --> 00:27:07,172
Well, I'm crazy lucky
that Chelsea picked me up.

484
00:27:07,275 --> 00:27:09,413
I mean, that we met.

485
00:27:09,517 --> 00:27:12,172
I need a glass of champagne.
Anyone else need a glass?

486
00:27:12,275 --> 00:27:15,000
You know, I'll just... I'll
just bring us all glasses. Okay.

487
00:27:15,103 --> 00:27:17,689
She's usually, um,

488
00:27:17,793 --> 00:27:20,586
less fangirl, more girlboss.

489
00:27:20,689 --> 00:27:22,241
She's charming.

490
00:27:22,344 --> 00:27:26,241
I have the right to reserve
judgment, but I like what I see.

491
00:27:26,344 --> 00:27:27,620
I've seen it before.

492
00:27:27,724 --> 00:27:29,275
What?

493
00:27:30,275 --> 00:27:31,931
The look you two share.

494
00:27:32,034 --> 00:27:35,310
It's the same look
Vernon and I share.

495
00:27:35,413 --> 00:27:37,413
I think
you found yourself a keeper.

496
00:27:37,517 --> 00:27:39,413
She's the one.

497
00:27:39,517 --> 00:27:41,517
Thanks, Gran.

498
00:27:42,482 --> 00:27:43,827
Thanks.

499
00:27:45,344 --> 00:27:47,379
I would have come over sooner.

500
00:27:47,482 --> 00:27:50,344
It's okay.

501
00:27:50,448 --> 00:27:52,896
Thanks for bringing the kids
tonight.

502
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
I missed them. And you.

503
00:27:57,413 --> 00:27:58,965
And us.

504
00:27:59,068 --> 00:28:02,551
I watched Gran
make peace tonight.

505
00:28:02,655 --> 00:28:06,344
And... I'll do anything
to do that with you.

506
00:28:07,793 --> 00:28:10,379
But you can't, Martin.

507
00:28:10,482 --> 00:28:13,793
You can't stand up onstage
and shout your truth.

508
00:28:13,896 --> 00:28:15,137
And even if you could,

509
00:28:15,241 --> 00:28:18,655
it wouldn't erase
the lies of the last two years.

510
00:28:18,758 --> 00:28:21,275
Look, I wish that things
were different between us,

511
00:28:21,379 --> 00:28:23,896
but... they're not.

512
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,241
Wishing doesn't make it so.

513
00:28:25,344 --> 00:28:26,896
Smitty.

514
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,517
Look, Nicole and Vernon asked me
to be here for Anita.

515
00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:33,034
And I don't want the kids
to feel like

516
00:28:33,137 --> 00:28:35,413
this isn't their family anymore.

517
00:28:35,517 --> 00:28:38,413
So no part of tonight felt right
to you?

518
00:28:39,448 --> 00:28:43,241
I wish that I could get caught
up in the magic of tonight,

519
00:28:43,344 --> 00:28:44,862
the way you look in that suit,

520
00:28:44,965 --> 00:28:48,448
and lean into you.

521
00:28:48,551 --> 00:28:49,586
But when the lights come up,

522
00:28:49,689 --> 00:28:52,724
so do the harsh realities
of what you did.

523
00:28:52,827 --> 00:28:55,482
And I don't think that I...

524
00:28:55,586 --> 00:28:59,137
I can't just forget about that,
Martin. I don't think I can.

525
00:29:00,172 --> 00:29:02,241
You never bury the lede.

526
00:29:03,448 --> 00:29:07,793
There are not enough
explanations or sorrys.

527
00:29:09,137 --> 00:29:12,172
I just hope, with enough time,
you'll forgive me.

528
00:29:14,793 --> 00:29:16,931
Take care of yourself, Martin.

529
00:29:17,034 --> 00:29:18,827
I have to get home.

530
00:29:26,413 --> 00:29:30,965
How do you trust Pops
after all he hid from us?

531
00:29:31,068 --> 00:29:34,620
The second that I saw
those suitcases by the door,

532
00:29:34,724 --> 00:29:37,275
I knew
that I didn't want him to leave.

533
00:29:37,379 --> 00:29:39,482
I am mad at Pop.

534
00:29:39,586 --> 00:29:43,931
But I remember what it was like
before Pop and Dad came for us.

535
00:29:44,034 --> 00:29:45,724
I remember her.

536
00:29:45,827 --> 00:29:47,655
I don't think about her.

537
00:29:47,758 --> 00:29:51,103
Me either. Not usually.

538
00:29:51,206 --> 00:29:53,103
But I can't forget.

539
00:29:53,206 --> 00:29:57,482
She left us to the system,
and we were all alone.

540
00:29:58,586 --> 00:30:02,000
There was no guarantee that we
would even stay together.

541
00:30:02,103 --> 00:30:03,724
But Pop and Dad-- they saved us.

542
00:30:03,827 --> 00:30:07,379
They made us
their forever family.

543
00:30:07,482 --> 00:30:09,172
They chose us.

544
00:30:09,275 --> 00:30:11,827
The Duprees-- they chose us.

545
00:30:11,931 --> 00:30:15,241
And they loved us
like we were their own blood.

546
00:30:15,344 --> 00:30:18,551
I'm not gonna just give up
on Pop because he screwed up.

547
00:30:19,586 --> 00:30:22,068
Yeah, they did their thing.

548
00:30:22,172 --> 00:30:25,137
So many kids like us--
they don't get what we have.

549
00:30:25,241 --> 00:30:27,517
We got the dream.

550
00:30:27,620 --> 00:30:29,172
We have a family.

551
00:30:29,275 --> 00:30:32,413
I don't want that to go away.

552
00:30:33,413 --> 00:30:36,137
Me either.

553
00:30:36,241 --> 00:30:39,206
And I will never forget
what we have now.

554
00:30:39,310 --> 00:30:42,068
Each other.

555
00:30:43,724 --> 00:30:45,413
No matter what, that stands.

556
00:30:46,482 --> 00:30:48,344
No matter what.

557
00:30:48,448 --> 00:30:51,137
You ready to be publicly tied
to Dani Dupree?

558
00:30:51,241 --> 00:30:53,448
Uh, I think the question is,
how are you gonna feel

559
00:30:53,551 --> 00:30:55,206
about being tied
to Andre Richardson

560
00:30:55,310 --> 00:30:58,344
when it comes to all
of your friends and family?

561
00:30:58,448 --> 00:31:00,689
I thought it was hot
having something private,

562
00:31:00,793 --> 00:31:03,482
something that felt like
it belonged to us.

563
00:31:03,586 --> 00:31:05,034
Yeah.

564
00:31:05,137 --> 00:31:07,517
But it was hot kissing you
in that crowd, too.

565
00:31:09,034 --> 00:31:11,172
I thought the earth would shake
if everyone knew,

566
00:31:11,275 --> 00:31:12,931
but nothing changed.

567
00:31:13,034 --> 00:31:14,586
Doesn't change who we are
to each other.

568
00:31:14,689 --> 00:31:17,793
-It doesn't make us any more
or less serious.
-Yeah.

569
00:31:17,896 --> 00:31:19,551
I just... I don't know

570
00:31:19,655 --> 00:31:21,172
how the rest of the fam's
gonna take it, though.

571
00:31:21,275 --> 00:31:24,482
Yeah. Well, maybe
the whole disapproval thing

572
00:31:24,586 --> 00:31:26,379
begins and ends
with Aunt Nicole.

573
00:31:26,482 --> 00:31:28,689
Chelsea thought it was amusing
more than anything.

574
00:31:28,793 --> 00:31:30,379
That's one down.

575
00:31:30,482 --> 00:31:32,206
Still wonder what Naomi thinks,
though.

576
00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:34,517
But I guess we won't
get our answer tonight.

577
00:31:34,620 --> 00:31:36,689
What do you think, Dani?

578
00:31:37,724 --> 00:31:39,620
That it's time
to call it a night.

579
00:31:39,724 --> 00:31:41,758
And for you to take me home.

580
00:31:41,862 --> 00:31:43,724
Okay. Happy to.

581
00:31:43,827 --> 00:31:46,068
Now, am I taking you
to your door or...?

582
00:31:46,172 --> 00:31:48,275
Maybe stay for breakfast?

583
00:31:48,379 --> 00:31:52,793
You, me, a slow morning,
tangled sheets, breakfast?

584
00:31:52,896 --> 00:31:55,620
It sounds like a dream.

585
00:32:04,310 --> 00:32:05,896
Carlton.

586
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,241
Been looking all over for you
just so I could tell you again,

587
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:11,034
now I see
where you get it all from.

588
00:32:11,137 --> 00:32:13,689
Oh, you must be talking about
Dani. I am not a performer.

589
00:32:13,793 --> 00:32:15,724
Oh, no. Yes, you are.

590
00:32:15,827 --> 00:32:17,379
Especially the way
you've handled everything

591
00:32:17,482 --> 00:32:19,068
you've had to deal with.

592
00:32:19,172 --> 00:32:20,620
Nothing short of Oscar-worthy.

593
00:32:20,724 --> 00:32:24,827
Got time for some important
shop talk?

594
00:32:24,931 --> 00:32:27,551
Handle your business.

595
00:32:27,655 --> 00:32:29,517
I just wanted
to get you alone to tell you

596
00:32:29,620 --> 00:32:31,517
that Martin is heartbroken.

597
00:32:31,620 --> 00:32:33,103
Smitty came, and then he went.

598
00:32:33,206 --> 00:32:35,413
So, if you're looking for him...

599
00:32:36,413 --> 00:32:37,620
Thank you.

600
00:32:43,689 --> 00:32:45,103
How are you doing?

601
00:32:46,344 --> 00:32:49,103
Gran did exactly
what she set out to do.

602
00:32:49,206 --> 00:32:51,206
And she did so flawlessly.

603
00:32:51,310 --> 00:32:53,310
I'm in awe.

604
00:32:53,413 --> 00:32:56,275
Agreed, but I asked about you.

605
00:32:56,379 --> 00:33:01,034
It took her years to patch
things up with the Articulettes.

606
00:33:01,137 --> 00:33:02,793
I just hope it doesn't
take that much time

607
00:33:02,896 --> 00:33:04,379
for me to do it with Smitty.

608
00:33:09,793 --> 00:33:11,724
Was it everything
you wanted it to be?

609
00:33:11,827 --> 00:33:13,862
More, in every sense
of the word.

610
00:33:13,965 --> 00:33:17,896
We've been looking forward
to this night for so long.

611
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,793
And now Jim Price has offered
to take us on the road.

612
00:33:22,034 --> 00:33:25,827
But we really wish Anita
would come with us, Vernon.

613
00:33:25,931 --> 00:33:29,379
After everything she did
to bring us back together,

614
00:33:29,482 --> 00:33:30,620
bring us this chance,

615
00:33:30,724 --> 00:33:33,620
bringing Barbara back to us
the way she did.

616
00:33:33,724 --> 00:33:36,137
I mean, it was amazing.

617
00:33:36,241 --> 00:33:39,000
All these years, I sensed a...

618
00:33:39,103 --> 00:33:41,103
a sadness

619
00:33:41,206 --> 00:33:43,275
around Anita
about the Articulettes.

620
00:33:43,379 --> 00:33:45,000
I-I never knew why.

621
00:33:46,034 --> 00:33:48,758
But owning it
and having you back...

622
00:33:49,758 --> 00:33:51,586
...I think that...

623
00:33:51,689 --> 00:33:54,137
that she can finally heal.

624
00:33:55,413 --> 00:33:57,862
I hope it was the same
for both of you.

625
00:33:57,965 --> 00:33:59,965
It is.

626
00:34:01,034 --> 00:34:03,896
I should say that to Anita.
Where is she?

627
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,931
Where'd she go?

628
00:34:29,068 --> 00:34:31,068
Barbara.

629
00:34:32,688 --> 00:34:35,655
Did you see that audience
on their feet for you?

630
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,793
Did you hear the roar
of that standing O?

631
00:34:42,585 --> 00:34:47,172
In your letter, you gave me
credit for dreaming big.

632
00:34:47,275 --> 00:34:50,620
Also a lot of shade.

633
00:34:50,724 --> 00:34:53,206
But you had the dream.

634
00:34:53,310 --> 00:34:55,103
And you invited us in.

635
00:34:56,137 --> 00:34:59,620
Four little colored girls
singing into hairbrushes,

636
00:34:59,724 --> 00:35:02,206
believing-- because of you--

637
00:35:02,310 --> 00:35:05,379
that we could be more.

638
00:35:05,482 --> 00:35:08,586
That our voices were magic.

639
00:35:08,689 --> 00:35:12,724
Black girl magic that lifted us
out of the projects

640
00:35:12,827 --> 00:35:16,965
onto stages, into the world.

641
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:21,103
Without you...

642
00:35:24,758 --> 00:35:28,448
Without you,
there would be no Articulettes.

643
00:35:30,034 --> 00:35:32,793
There would be no
Anita Williams Dupree.

644
00:35:34,793 --> 00:35:37,896
Thank you, Barbara,
for everything.

645
00:35:39,517 --> 00:35:43,517
And I am so sorry for all I did

646
00:35:43,620 --> 00:35:45,448
and all I didn't do.

647
00:35:46,862 --> 00:35:50,965
And I hope tonight bought me
a little of that forgiveness

648
00:35:51,068 --> 00:35:53,034
I've been seeking,

649
00:35:53,137 --> 00:35:56,000
that I'm still not sure
I deserve.
