Upsets...

they're as American as apple pie... and obesity.

Yep, America has a love affair

with upsets.

As a matter of fact, that's how the country got started.

Those scrappy kids from the East Coast beat an empire.

Here's the thing with an upset, though...

Someone wins and someone loses.

And when that happens, the losing side always tries

to look for where things went wrong.

Yep. At the end of the day,

no one wants to be on the losing side of an upset.

But what happens when the winners and the losers

are supposed to be on the same team?

- And there is it. - Oh!

We're officially calling it a win for Donald Trump.

I'm really asking.

Seriously, what happens?

No, no, no, no.

It had been over two months since the election,

but everyone was acting like it had only been two minutes.

Bow, what's going on, dude? Seriously?

What? Everything you're wearing

is from an NPR commercial.

No, it's from a Barney's sale.

- Really? - Yeah.

These UNICEF flip-flops are from a Barney's sale?

And this Covenant House sweatshirt

and Habitat for Humanity sweatpants,

Black Lives Matter button... Barney's.

Uh-huh.

And why aren't you guys dressed for school?

We don't have school today.

They gave us a day of reflection.

- A day of what? - Reflection.

It's a lot to think about.

Much needed, if you ask me.

My first 90 days as student-body president have been rough.

Valley Glen Prep is a pressure cooker about to blow.

And he tried to tell me I stole his phone.

- Joey. Joey. - "No, I didn't steal your phone."

- "I stole your computer." - Joseph Peterson,

will you please get back in your seat?

I don't have to listen to you, Ms. Gomez.

They're about to ship you back to your country.

Ship her back.

To be fair, Ms. Gomez is from Spain, her visa is expiring,

and she is looking forward to seeing her abuela.

But I'm pretty sure those kids did not know that at that time.

They did not.

So, yeah, we got the day off to prep for the Healing Rally.

They asked me to read MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech at it,

so I'm trying to memorize it.

Oh, that's fantastic!

Healing Rally?

Day of reflection?

Are they gonna prorate your tuition?

- Dre. - Bow, that school is not cheap.

- I know. - Four kids times two days.

That's a pair of Jordan 3s and a hoodie.

Oh, my God. What?

I don't need comforting?

Ignore him. I am very proud of you, sweetheart.

And why don't you take this Trevor Project scarf.

Wear it around your throat while you're practicing, huh?

What are you doing for the Healing Rally, Zoey?

I'm making lemonade. Looking up recipes now.

Oh, I get it.

The country gives you lemons, and you make lemonade, right?

Nope.

Oh, I see.

You're doing it more as a symbolic thing, like Beyoncé.

How she uses lemonade as a symbol for women

and their self-knowledge and healing.

Yeah, that's good.

No, I mean it as

a non-carbonated refreshment thing.

My friends are not really soda people.

Okay.

Yeah, that's good, too.

I mean, it's not scarf good, but... do better.

Your mother's unraveling.

I'm probably gonna have to get a lawyer

to help me take both of you.

I've always wanted to testify against one of my parents.

I don't know why you guys don't want to try my "stay positive"

New Year's resolution.

I'm telling you, it helps.

Like, I don't see this glass as half empty,

I see it as half full.

But it's completely empty.

But I see it as half full.

It's also a bowl.

In his own sweet-smiled, misunderstood way,

Jack's confusion with metaphors seemed to echo

the same polarizing emotions I saw everywhere I turned.

The world had become a giant mixed vortex

of anxiety and elation, and we seemed to be

more openly divided than we'd been in a long time.

I wish I could say work was better, but it wasn't.

Nope. Even the usually impenetrable,

cartoonish walls of Stevens & Lido

had been affected by the real uncertainties

of what our world was going to become.

- Come on, guys. - Hey! Whoa.

We've got till 5:00 to get this Boxable pitch ready.

- Whoa. Hold on. 5:00 today? - Yeah.

How the hell did we let this creep up on us like that?

Yeah, when did we get that pitch?

November 8th.

Guys, listen up. Listen up.

Just got off the phone, and we got the Boxable pitch.

This is huge.

So huge, in fact, that we brought back Lucy,

completely unrelated to the lawsuit we can't talk about.

The point is, we have got to

knock this pitch out of the park.

- I said "pitch." - Did you?

Didn't sound like it.

Look, the good news is, we have plenty of time,

so I want you all to go home, 'cause tonight should be

a pretty uneventful election night.

We're gonna make history tonight.

boisterous rally last night,

Trump and his supporters, along...

Everybody go home.

There's no way we're getting any work done today,

so we'll reconvene tomorrow.

I can't believe this.

I just read that he may not even live at the White House!

What?! That is a donkey punch to the back of the head.

This day is a wash. We'll start fresh tomorrow.

This is ridiculous!

I hear Sean Hannity's already suggesting

he basically do a reality show inside the White House.

Sweet mother of God, that man is an evil genius.

That's an outstanding idea.

Look, there is no way we are getting any work done today.

No, no, no. We're gonna leave the pitch for tomorrow.

Now, come on, we got to get some work done, all right?

Now, these are the areas that we need to focus on.

Got to say, Leslie...

I still can't believe you didn't vote for him.

You guys don't know me at all, okay?

Look, I am a ferocious Republican,

but Trump is just not my kind of guy.

Now, you give me a true conservative like Mitt Romney...

A beautiful, coiffed-haired tax genius

made in a president factory? Mm-mmm!

Also, your entire life runs on the backs

of an absurdly low-priced, extremely diligent workforce

Trump is looking to deport.

Also, there's that. - Mm.

Come on. We got to move on.

- Mm-hmm. - Dre's right.

I mean, we've tricked off the last two months of work on this.

- Yeah. - Look, it's a new year,

fresh start, clean slate.

Uh, speaking of Slate...

Did y'all see what they put up today?

- What? - Trump is in a Twitter beef

with Dikembe Mutombo.

- Oh, hell. - Guys!

- Guys! - That's crazy.

I have a dream.

I have a dream.

I have a dream.

I have a dream that

blah-de-blah-de-blip-blip yadda-yadda.

You know this "I have a dream" stuff

is not the whole speech, right?

It isn't?

It most certainly is not.

There's a whole lot of that speech

that they do not want you to hear.

And when I say "they," I do mean the white man,

if I was not clear.

I'm not feeling this scarf, Junior.

This was my life now.

The idea of business as usual

had become anything but usual.

Nobody knew how we got here, but everybody had their ideas.

Hey! Keep it down, okay?

'Cause we all know whose fault this really is.

I'm actually mad at myself for not having started here.

Okay.

- Oh. - What?!

It was the blacks.

You just can't give us that capital "B," huh?

Not today, Charles. Not today.

How is this our fault?

If you all had turned out for Hillary

the way that you turned out for Barack...

Hold on. Are you comparing Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton?

That's exactly what he's doing.

T-That's just crazy.

You're talking about the man who had a left-hand jumper

and smoked menthols.

Coolest president we ever had.

I mean, no offense to Hillary,
