David Makes Man

You told me someone close to you died.

He was, like, the only thing to me.

He was worried about where I was going.

You supposed to be focused on school.

I'm so sorry. I know.

I just keep thinking about this poem you taught me...

"All things must die."

- Something happen? - Got fired.

No job. No promotion.

Do not worry about nothing. It's gonna be okay.

Hey!

Be lucky you got company,

'cause you were gonna get an attitude adjustment.

- Move. - You should tell somebody.

- Who? - What's up? What's David want?

I need a girl's voice for my project.

Ask nice!

- - Ooh, there go Tare's man!

The sea and all of its creatures

are still so far from us.

Right there...

- ...but might as well... Be on another planet.

Still, so much danger...

and life we don't know about.

We haven't even figured out...

All the secrets to spiders.

What mysteries are in their eyes?

Are we a mystery to them?

Are we like beings from a galaxy far away

that they cannot understand?

- Aw, or... -

- - No!

Why would you do that?

Marissa, stop dreaming. Get them ready for school.

- Aah! What's that noise? -

Mama. She's home. Remember?

Hi, mama.

You already awake?

I see you started cooking.

Mm-hmm. And I made muffins.

David.

Why are these dryer sheets in here?

David.

Yes, ma'am?

What is this?

I can ex...

"Come for a magical night under the sun."

Well, that don't make any sense.

There's a school dance tomorrow night?

- You don't want to go? - Um, it... it cost money,

and I figured I'd be watching J.G., so...

Are your friends going?

- Probably. - Then you are, too.

I got J.G. We good.

How much are the tickets, $5 each?

Yeah, I think so.

- Can I... - What's this?

Uh...

J- just some math stuff I was doing.

I'm-a go.

I'm excited to go.

- Who you gonna take? - What?

You got to take somebody.

Ah! Promise.

I promise.

Ooh! I can't wait to take pictures!

Wash his face good. - Aah!

- No crust caca in his eye. - Ugh!

When you move out of my house, you can make you own choices.

But until then, you wear what I tell you.

Mom, we're supposed to wear uniforms.

Oh, you want to try me?!

- - Ow!

- Don't move! - It's hot.

You look good.

That boy Seren is definitely going to ask you.

- I'm gonna miss the bus. - The bus just left!

- The bus just left! - Mom!

That better be... lotion.

- J.G., don't say nothing. - Don't snap at your brother.

You, read a book.

I got everything under control, okay?

And then, that's when they gave out lemonheads,

and I wanted to save half.

And now my shirts smell like lemonade?

Yep.

You have your second session with the counselor today?

I pay attention.

And your project go good with Seren?

- Ma, we gon' be late! - Ah, ah! I can tell time, sir.

Yeah, relax, sir.

When mama get me to school, we always early.

- Come on, J.G., let's jump! - Oh, me, too?

- Whoo! -

Come on, J.G.

Do over, do over, do over.

Eevy, ivy, over!

You're mom's cool.

- Aah! -

Come on. You know you want to.

Hey, you want a turn?

- -

One more time?

Whew! That's all I got in me.

Aw. Whew!

David's smart-ass over there trying to calculate angles

instead of just jumpin' in.

Don't be salty, Daye. You could still get it.

Miss Shella, I'm-a pretend like

you ain't just say that about my son.

My bad, Ms. Glo. I "forgot" you was his mom.

Hey, get your asses to school.

Loitering all over the place.

Whatever! -

Ah, come on, Shella. Keep your tongue in your mouth.

Go on, girls.

All right, bye, girl!

Bye, Daye. See you 'round.

Sorry.

Bye, Daye.

See you around.

I see you, playa.

It wasn't all that.

Oh.

She was feelin' you, yo. Why you ain't talk to her?

I don't know. I-I tried.

- - D.J.!

Good to see you,

standing where you belong this morning.

Marissa!

- Yeah? - Um...

You look nice.

Really?

Yeah. Uh, actually...

You want to go to the dance with me tomorrow?

Bye, Ms. Marie. Take care.

I- I just...

I only ask 'cause I have to take someone.

Might as well be you.

Oh. Well, no thanks.

Dr. Bree, I-I didn't mean to worry you.

I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to surprise you.

Dr. Bree, I'm sorry about what I s...

I'm sorry, David. Go on.

Ahh.

You were saying?

What's that for?

- Piss? - Uh-huh.

- On fire? - She said, "who set these..."

"...sheets on fire?"
