rest of my life.
Are you back on this loan mess?
Yes! I am looking at 750 bucks a month in student loans.
Even if I get a great job,
it'll take me at least 30 years to pay this off.
How am I supposed to affect change at 50?
I mean, John Lewis still be leading marches at 80.
I mean, it's more like... like a hobble now,
but it's a hobble for us.
I don't want to hobble.
Oh, shit.
It's from Stevens & Lido.
Look at Jesus. Won't He do it.
- Hallelujah. - "Dear Aaron...
Thank you for your..."
I didn't get the interview.
Oh, He didn't do it this time.
Uh, yeah, one second!
Coming, coming.
- Hey, dude. - Hey.
You here looking for Vivek?
Uh, no. Actually, I came here to see you.
I need a favor.
I applied for a gig at your dad's job.
- Stevens & Lido? - Yeah.
Um, and you know I hate to ask favors,
but this is a huge opportunity, you know?
- Mm-hmm. - There's a solid chance
it could turn into a full-time job after I graduate, so...
Ohh.
They're holding interviews tomorrow, so I would just...
I'd really appreciate it if you would just get me
in front of your dad, you know?
Yeah, I got you. Don't even stress about it.
Really? You...
You can get me in?
Of course I can.
I'm Zoey Johnson. I'm my father's favorite child.
He would do anything for me.
Oh, and you know what?
You should wear this.
It's supposed to be for Joey, but I really think
you should take it for your interview.
It would look amazing on you.
Uh, one second.
- Oh. - Thank you.
Goodness. That's Joey. I should take this.
Yeah, no, do your thing.
- Yeah. - But thanks again, really.
- Mm-hmm. - Appreciate it.
Hey, Joey.
Yeah.
Hello. Excuse me.
I'm Aaron Jackson. I'm here for an interview.
Just want me to sit down? Cool.
Exciting.
Okay!
Hi.
That's cool, all right.
Okay, yeah, go. What you got?
Hey, excuse me, Miss.
Uh, I'm sorry, I just... I've been here, like,
sitting there for a couple hours.
So, just wondering, you know, when I'm up.
Um...
Sorry, it looks like we've completed all our interviews.
What was your name again?
Uh, Aaron Jackson.
I'm sure it's in there.
No, sorry. You're not on my list.
All right. Hey, Rachel, I'm done for the day.
Mr. Johnson! Hey!
- Hey. - Just the man I want to see.
- How you been? - I'm all right.
- Do I know you? - Yeah, it's me, Aaron Jackson.
Uh, Zoey's friend from school.
We met a couple years back.
I stayed the weekend at your place.
Oh! Yeah, yeah.
Aaron.
Hey, man, my mama's still talking about you.
Uh, so what brings you here?
Oh, my God, is Zozo with child?
Please, God, don't tell me my baby's pregnant!
No, no, no, no, Zoey's not pregnant.
At least I don't think. Certainly not by me.
I'm just here about an interview, man.
She told me she was gonna call you today
about getting me in.
I'm in, I'm here, and I'm ready, so...
Well... she didn't.
In fact, we haven't talked in a few weeks.
Tell her to get at me, though.
No, I did, about a job.
That's why I'm here, sir.
Hey, man, are you following me?
I wouldn't call it following.
It's just more of like a trailing behind.
Look, if you would just take a look at my résumé here...
I'm sorry. Um, now, I know you won't see
a lot of marketing experience, but I promise you
I am... I am a hustler, I'm motivated,
and, um, to be honest, I kind of remind myself
a lot of a young you.
Obviously I'm... I'm a little taller, but, still...
Son, I would never wear a vest.
Hey, look, man, this résumé looks like it's pretty strong,
but I've already filled the position.
Okay, cool. Uh, thanks.
Keep your head up, man.
"Good looking out, homie."
What the hell does that mean...
Oh, my God!
The interview!
On a scale from 1 to 10, how mad is Aaron?
Oh, you could add a zero to that 10,
and you'd be in the ballpark.
- Great. - What, could you blame him?
You flaked on a simple favor.
Okay, yeah, I know.
But it was an honest mistake.
I get that it doesn't make it any better,
but... but I've been swamped at work.
I literally haven't slept in the past 48 hours.
Okay, well your "honest mistake" cost him
a real opportunity.
He's going through it.
Because I didn't get him an interview at Stevens & Lido?
No, because his student loans are, like, six figures.
And your dad's company could've helped him
with their loan forgiveness program if you hooked him up.
Right. I feel awful.
You should.
Okay, wait a minute. Granted, we all know
that Zoey tends to be a little wrapped up in Zoey,
but we can't put Aaron's entire financial crisis on her.
She didn't make him take that money.
No, the banks who preyed on Aaron did.
What, preyed on him? How?
Sometimes I really forget
how Sherman Oaks you are, Sherman Oaks.
The way they prey on all Black kids
who want to go to college but can't afford it.
Yeah. They know that there's no other option for us,
so they give us this easy money,
wrap it in a free T-shirt, right?
And then you go off to college, and then it's,
"Whoo, I'm in school," just for you to realize
when you get out, that you owe them twice the money
that they gave you, plus the shirt off your back.
Um. Hello. Hi.
Fellow person of color here.
And as someone riddled with student loans,
I still think there's something to be said
for more minorities going to college than ever before.
Yeah, and that's great and all, but the cost
and the benefit of that education aren't equal.
The reality is if we all graduated with
the same degree, all had the same experience,
and all slayed the same interview,
the offer would go to Nomi first,
and then to you, and then to Doug and Aaron,
and then Zoey, Sky, and I would come dead last.
Yep.
You... You should probably pick that up right there.
Pick what up?
Oh, that... that knowledge my baby just dropped.
She did.
- You did. - I did.
Mm-hmm. Like a Congresswoman.
Hi.
What's up?
Aaron, I had no clue about everything
that was happening with the loans and all that,
and... and believe me when I say I am so, so sorry.
I promise I'm gonna make it up to you.
I... I swear.
Yeah. All good.
Look, um, hey.
No, um...
Dude, can you give me a second, please?
Okay. Here's your second.
What's up?
Well, I put a call in to my dad, and he can't...
Great, because it seemed like he had been waiting
to hear from you.
Weeks, actually.
Look, Aaron, I messed up.
Look, Zoey, I'm...
I'm trying my hardest not to say anything
disrespectful to you, so I'm politely asking you
to please give me some space.
All right?
No, because I want to fix this.
- You can't fix it. - You're not letting me.
Because you're too late, Zoey!
The one time that I needed you... the one time...
where were you at?
- I... - Right.
But if you need something, you expect me to drop everything
and be there, no questions asked.
Because that's how this relationship works.
You... You... You... You... You need some advice
about something, I give it to you.
You need some support during a crisis, you got it.
You need somebody to kiss to get over your ex?
I'm your man, right?
Right?
You said it yourself. I'm always there for you.
I know, and I'm... I'm sorry.
Man, don't be. Please don't be.
I'm actually... I'm honestly not even mad at you.
I'm mad at myself
to think that you would actually come through for me.
How'd it take me this long to realize how selfish you are?
It's crazy.
You good?
Oh, yeah.
No, I'm good. I'm G-double-O-D good.
You wanna talk?
No.
But how about that drink?
You got it.
Right.
What's up?
Hey.
So, you wanted to talk?
Yeah.
So...
I was... I was out
with my sister and her boyfriend tonight,
and I think I figured out
what's been bothering me.
It's their connection.
What does their connection have to do with us?
Theirs is rooted in a shared cultural experience
because both of them are Black.
We'll never have that.
And no matter how hard I try, I just...
I can't seem to get past it.
Wow.
Well, I guess you figured it out, then.
But the other thing that I can't seem to get past
is how much I like you
and how much I can't stop thinking about you.
So, which side outweighs the other?
Is it okay if I still call you Rod'Nae?
No.
Excuse me, Dean Telphy.
Excuse me, sir.
Hold on a second.
Okay.
How can I help you?
I don't know, man! You called me in here.
Uh... Oh, right.
See, that's my problem.
This is why I need an administrative assistant.
And when I got a call from my good friend and confidant,
Andre Johnson, he told me that you might be looking for a job,
I immediately summoned you.
Wait, are you...
Are you offering me a job?
It all depends. Are you accepting it?
I mean, I can only accept it if you're offering it to me.
Are you offering it to me?
Hmm, you drive a hard bargain, young Aaron.
But you got the job.
What job, sir?!
I'm sorry. What job?
I'm sorry, you're just confusing me.
Look, let's start with the basics.
How much does this job pay?
Oh. Minimum wage.
Okay, is there health insurance?
Is there health insurance?
Right. Um...
Is there any type of loan forgiveness program?
Hmm, does free grad school for Cal U staff count?
Wait.
Free grad school?
You mean like a Masters degree for no money?
- There's got to be a catch. - No. There's no catch.
You just got to show up, put in 20 hours a week,
and become my personal assistant.
Now, your first order of business...
you need to call this lady I've been seeing and tell her
I don't want to see her no more.
Her name's Keshia Kirschbaum.
She's, uh... unhinged.
- Good luck. - This is huge, man.
You don't realize what it's doing for me.
Esta ... Esta semana pasada ha sido ...
Oh, se ha ... se ha aspirado.
No tanto como mi semana con Keshia.
¿Sabes que?
- El hombre. - Me quedo con el trabajo.
- ¿Si? - Si.
Oye.
La realidad era que
Aaron no podía borrar la deuda ya había adquirido,
pero este extraño trabajo y la oferta de postgrado libre
le daría una ventaja financiera
para asegurarse de que no se convierta en una estadística más.
Es el sol siempre esta brillante aquí?
Si.
Y por favor, simplemente deja de gritar.
Usted sabe lo que podría utilizar en este momento?
Hmm?
- Casa del Waffle. - Mm.
Vienen a través de una resaca cada vez.
No tenemos la galleta Casas en LA
Tenemos Roscoe.
Tienen un especial de Obama.
Siempre hacia abajo para nada Obama.
¿Deberiamos ir?
Uh ...
Si.
En un minuto.
Si.
Está bien si es que ...
