I guess you know your course.

Can I help you? Oh,

I didn't mean to scare you, sorry.

I'm Rachel Bailey. I'm the leasing agent for this property.

Oh um... yeah, I was just doing some window shopping. A

it's a cool space.

Yeah. 3800 square feet. Only been on the market for 2 months.

I'm sure it'll go fast.

How much is it?

Four dollars and 50 cents.

What, am I being punked?

I can pay that right now. Why is it so cheap?

Per square foot.

Oh.

Never mind.

Well look, I'm about to show it to a prospective renter.

If you wanna take a look, I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Really? Oh, okay...yeah.

- Thank you. - Okay.

So you have nice, high ceilings.

Nice floor to ceiling windows throughout, so you get a lot of natural light

from without.

Oh, hi. You must be Sammy. Thank you for coming.

Wassup?

- So like I was saying over the phone,

there is so much you can do with this space.

Ah if you don't mind me asking, what would you use this space for?

Oh we use it to make my movies.

Oh, that's exciting. What kind of movies?

Adult movies.

Well that's-- that's cool,

I guess. Um

and what about you, Keith?

Um I'm looking for a place to showcase my photography.

Non...adult

related.

Ah well thank you for sharing. We're

actually looking for someone to take over a 3-year lease, minimum.

3 years is a little tough for me. I was really hoping

for like um 3 months.

- - I'm sorry. We don't do short-term leasing.

- Okay, um I'm so sorry. Thank you so much for your time, Rachel.

I really appreciate it.

You know what? I'm sorry. I left my applications in the car so I'm

just gonna run out and get it and I'll

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

- Okay. - Alright, I'll just do some measurements.

See what I'm gonna do with this camera and the couch.

Okay.

Keith, one sec.

Look by law, I have to accept and process his application but

maybe you can fill one out as well?

And I can talk to the owner about a short-term lease.

Okay, sure. Yeah, that would be great!

Ah I can't make any promises but

it's worth a shot, right?

Of course. Yeah, um

thank you.

Of course.

Heh.

I hear you own a real estate company, Jarvis.

That's correct.

How's that goin' for ya?

Well, I just relocated the company 6 months ago when I moved back

to Atlanta from Connecticut.

So it's got it's growin' pains.

Yeah...

and my father ran our company into the ground.

It was only worth 5 million when he finally passed it down.

Today we're operating a half billion in assets.

So I know your struggle.

Sounds like you had to build things from the ground up.

Yep, and we wanna give

people like you an opportunity.

People like me?

I'm listenin'.

We have a 100 million in capital.

specifically designated for the acquisition

of real estate, and we're looking for someone to manage

and advise on the allocation of those funds.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I'm just not interested in a working for someone.

I got employees dependin' on me.

- We're not interested in hiring you.

This is more of a consulting fee, to advise on potential property options.

Huh.

It's a great opportunity.

Why me?

In addition to Kevin boasting about how bright

and well-spoken you are,

we wanted to give a minority a chance to shine.

Well I appreciate the offer.

I'm gonna give it some thought if that's okay.

Sure, no pressure.

Alright.

Just, let us know ASAP so

a little bit of pressure

We are prepared to offer 50K in advance if that helps expedite

your decision.

It just might.

- Hey-yah! - Hey!

- Nice one! - There ya go.

- Point, Tiger. - That's good.

- Nice shot. - Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

And the requirement for the duration of the class is what?

- No, no alcohol - No alcohol.

That's right. No alcohol.

Ah, is there anything I need to sign?

Ah...what do you mean?

Well a court order / probation officer form for your attendance?

Oh, no. No, I'm here on my own.

Is that surprising?

Well I mean it's rare that a Black um African-American

- ...look-- - No, you-- you can say Black.

Okay, I don't want to be offensive or anything like that.

It's a beautiful word...I'm Black!

with a capital B.

Okay...

a Black man!

Oh, oh okay. You don't have to say it that hard.

Ah ah ah

Just kidding.

No I mean truly, it's rare that a Black man would be here on his own accord.

The stigma of mental health in the Black community is real.

Yeah... my cousin has special needs and um

y'all leave that boy alone. He a little touched.

- Oh... yo-- yo mama had a touch.

Quick little piece of advice, Miss Jane...

don't ever talk about a Black man's mama.

Oah, no, no, no, never.

I'm just saying I don't think they should be left alone. I think we should deal with them.

Black people...

acknowledge and seek out mental health at a fraction of the rate

of whites, with all the trauma of systemic racism.

And a lot of Black people seek out the church

rather than a medical professional.

Damn, you... you really know your stuff, Miss Jane.

I hope so. I've been doing it for over 40 years.

Oh, quick question.

Is there really no alcohol?

It helps to come with a clear mind.

Some people can't handle it, so we make it a rule

across the board.
