Thirsty

Hi, I'm Audrey Allen, I'm running for mayor.

- No. -Have a good day.

I'm running for mayor. Thank you. Have a good day.

I'm Audrey Allen. I'm running for mayor.

Well, those look nice. Thank you.

Hi. How are you?

I'm good.

-How's your day? -Very good.

Good. Thank you.

Hi, I'm Audrey Allen. I'm running for mayor.

Thank you so much. Really appreciate that.

I don't want this shit.

Have a good day.

- Oh, hey, Audrey. - Hey.

I saw you working the crowd this morning.

How many more signatures do you need to get on the ballot?

-10,000. -10,000?

It's funny.

Um, let's talk about the Kelly case.

-Cruz has it. -Cruz can't handle this.

-The press will be all over it. -Oh, really?

This is a press case.

- Hey, Audrey. -Hey.

- - Do me a favor.

Stay the fuck away from my client.

Boss, it's my turn.

Which you lost when you went MIA yesterday.

So you're going to let her steal my case again?

You would have no interest in this

if it wasn't all over Channel 7.

Cruz is right.

Kelly should stay with him.

Then I'm resigning.

I need to focus on the campaign.

Audrey,

this city loves its incumbents.

Not always. Schaefer crushed Hahn.

- -And she's not even from here.

Maya King is from some super wealthy family

in Atlanta.

-She moved here in 2009. -Who cares?

She's done great things for Oakland.

She may be a decent politician,

but she is no angel, believe me.

She's uncontested for a reason.

You can't win.

So I guess I won't be asking for your endorsement.

Not a chance.

You can also forget about any kind of fancy send-off party.

Audrey, sit down.

What if I put you on special assignment?

You could spend more time with the kids.

Pursue any case you wanted.

Hey!

Did you get my text?

I sent you six fucking texts.

- -

Listen, you need to check my scamlord, all right?

He keeps popping off about the rent.

What's that sparkly thing on your face?

Did you pierce your face?

I put a little bling on. What do you think?

I think it looks hella silly.

Listen, lady.

-I'm gonna be me wherever I am. -Mm-hmm.

Rehab can't steal my shine.

You always talking shit.

You're ridiculous. Oh, my God.

-Shut up, you thirsty hoe. -Shit.

At least I still got all my teeth.

- -Oh, no, no, no!

Oh, get that nasty shit out my face!

No, no, stop!

Damn.

I can't believe I quit my job.

What happened?

The campaign, I gotta step up

or get my ass kicked in a very public way.

Winning's overrated.

There's always just another hoop to jump through.

Said like someone who's never won anything.

You see that security camera over there?

That's what's saving your ass from a bitch slap.

Hmm.

Uh, give me your shopping list.

Thanks.

See you, sis.

Bye!

Hey, call my landlord!

- -

Start listening tour

by reaching out to reps from Teachers' Union.

Uh, get in t-- get in touch with Pastor Brown.

Reach out to drug rehab programs.

Hook up meetings at the local--

Hey!

-What's crackin'? -Mama!

-Where's Kwan? -I already put him to bed.

Oh. Well, I rushed home to feed him.

Okay, great. Now I get to pump.

So how was your day?

Um, I got some news.

S-- uh...

Davis is making cuts.

I got laid off.

But...

now I get to focus on the campaign.

And you're gonna help me win. Right, baby girl?

-Yes. -Yes.

You know, some asshole at work was saying

your candidacy was a joke.

Ooh, Appa, I'm getting the swear jar.

I'm sure if you talk to Davis, he'll reconsider.

Wait. Okay, who--

who said I was a joke?

What, Mike?

That dude is such a hater.

Well, he knows more about policy

than some crowd-pleasing politician.

That's bullshit. He's on the bench for a reason.

Baby, I'm a doer.

Imma do this.

Thought you might want a snack.

Eunbi was trying to steal it.

I was like, "Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.

That's Appa's favorite."

-They are my favorite. -

Mm.

Mm.

Hey, let's go fishing this weekend.

You never catch anything.

Well, that's not the point.

Yeah, I'll-- I'll bring the tents,

and we'll all fall asleep under the stars,

and we'll eat some donuts.

Hmm?

Enough with the Boy Scouts stuff.

You know I'm in full court press mode.

Audrey, I thought you said this race was just for practice.

Mm, I said

most candidates lose twice before they win once.

I didn't say I wasn't gonna try.

Try all you want, but, you know, I--

I can't keep covering us like this.

Let's just keep our budget down. You can order less takeout.

Are you doing bedtime this week?

Because I gotta start powering up at work.

All right?

We need a sitter. Full-time.

Maybe we could ask...

your mom for a loan.

Audrey, she's not an ATM.

Well, I...

The woman owns two condos.

That woman's fucking rich, and you know it.

Babe, if you're burnt out, I get it.

But you're gonna have to get something part-time,

because this fucking property tax is gonna kill us.

I...

I got let go.

You wanna double down on that?

I have Davis's number right here.

-Uh, no, no. Okay. -

Ooh, your timing sucks.

Come on, just cut your losses,

and you can run again when the kids are a little older.

You know why your parents always raised you

to take the safe road?

Because there was no room for risk.

So you got the pension and the mortgage,

and I'm cool with that.

But I dream big.

I need you to be my co-pilot.

Audrey...

what are our rules?

We don't talk about cops, and we don't talk about court.

And we don't argue after nine.

Where's the melatonin?

- -

Good night.

Good night, boo.

-And thank you. -You're welcome.

There's that.

Oh, here.

Hi, Nana.

Hi, Nana.

Did you have any dreams last night?

I was dancing in front of a million trillion people.

A million trillion.

You can do it.

-One step every day. -And don't give up.
