(somber piano music)
(upbeat R&B music)
- Leanna?
Are you okay? - Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm fine.
- I'm talkin' too much, huh, yeah I'm talkin' too much.
Look, you go ahead.
- I have something to tell you.
- [Man] Okay.
- I just don't know how you're gonna take it.
- [Man] Shoot.
- I have alopecia.
- Alopecia?
You mean like hair-loss alopecia?
- [Leanna] Right.
- Oh.
- [Leanna] I knew you was gonna have a problem with this.
- No, no, it's cool, Leanna.
My cousin actually has it.
It's completely cool.
So are you like,
fully bald, or?
- I could show you.
- Whoa, yeah, that's not necessary.
(somber piano music)
- Are you okay?
- [Man] I'm cool, I'm cool, yeah.
Completely cool.
- [Leanna] Are you sure? You look a bit knackered.
- Yeah, no no, I'm good, great.
Actually I need to run to the restroom right quick,
so if you could go over there and wait for me?
I'll be right back.
Food, you know?
- Brandon?
Bye.
(smooth R&B music)
- [Radio DJ] Hey, it's midday on the North Carolina coast.
Wanna give a huge shout-out to Mrs. Smith's Salon,
off Shipyard Boulevard.
- Girl.
I got this new girl working here, her name is Nelly.
Man, her hair looks horrible!
How are you gonna work in a salon and your hair looks worse
than the people that's comin' in here?
- (laughs) Miss Smith, you really need to stop.
- It's true, then she had the nerve to ask me
if she could get her paycheck early
so she could bail her boyfriend out of jail?
I mean, what kind of mess is that?
- I hope you don't tell my business like that.
- No and even if I wanted to,
you don't give me enough to work with.
I've got nothin'.
I've known you and your mom for a while now.
Neither one of you told me when you first found out
about alopecia.
- There are just some things in my life
I'd rather not talk about.
- I know and I get that.
But sometimes, girl, you just gotta let it out.
You've gotta get it off your cleavage.
Both of 'em.
- Get it off my chest?
- [Sophia] Yes, ma'am.
(Leanna sighs)
- Well, when I was around nine...
- Hurry, your bus is coming, hurry.
(suspenseful atmospheric music)
- Did your mother say anything to you when you got home?
- Actually, no, she didn't have to.
A few days later we were in my bedroom and...
- Leanna? (muffled sobs)
Leanna?
Leanna?
Leanna, what's the matter?
(Leanna sobs) (melancholic string music)
- [Leanna] And that's where it all started.
Then there were the kids from school, the neighbors,
the comments, not to mention the relationships.
- Oh, Mrs. Smith is truly sad for you,
but that's all in the past now.
You don't need to worry about that.
What you need to do is focus on God
and that handsome man he's gonna bring you.
- God, yes.
A man, well, I'm not quite ready for that right now.
- I know but don't you give up on what God has in store
for you, because sometimes it's not about you.
I mean, you act like you lost an arm or somethin'.
Just get over it.
- See, that's just it.
People are always saying "get over it."
But it's not that easy!
Everywhere you look, your hair, it's your beauty.
It defines you, but what about us who don't have it?
- I'm gonna tell you one thing,
if you use that tone with me again,
alopecia's gonna be the last of your worries.
- [Leanna] I'm sorry.
- Now.
(upbeat R&B music)
- What is he doing?
Will you please move?
Did he fall off the trolley?
- Hey.
So what's your name?
- I'm sorry, I have somewhere very important to go.
- Come on, just tell me your name.
I gotta know.
- I'm sorry.
- I just wanna know who you are.
- Why?
- [Man] 'Cause I'd be a fool not to.
(Leanna chuckles)
- Um, I'm sorry.
(bittersweet orchestral music)
(upbeat music)
- Baby, you don't have to stay here, I can handle this.
- It's alright, I didn't have anywhere else to go.
Besides, I have Robin coming.
- Robin?
You tricked her into coming here?
(chuckles)
- What now?
- Well, just look out for Sophia's nephew.
He's supposed to be bringing the dessert.
- Okay.
- I can't do this.
- [Leanna] Robin, Robin!
She does not look happy.
- [Robin] What is this?
This does not look like the party you described to me.
- If I would have told you, would you have come?
- So you lied?
- No!
Well, yes, I'm sorry.
- [Robin] You call yourself a Christian?
- I just need your help. - Help with what?
Changing diapers?
- Nothing.
- Exactly, see?
I have a real party to go to, adios.
- Robin, just a little bit.
- Oh.
- That's him.
Bumped into him earlier at the salon.
- And you let him go?
What is wrong with you?
- Just bad timing.
Actually, I almost ran him over with my car.
(Robin speaks Spanish)
- Well, not on purpose.
He got in front of it and I'm trying to leave.
- Hi, my aunt Sophia told me to bring this for you, ladies.
There you go.
Hi.
- Hey. - This is gonna be good.
- I could have died trying to get your name today, you know.
- I'm sorry, I was in a hurry.
- You in a hurry now?
- Kind of, the kids.
- You know, you're very beautiful, Leanna.
- Oh, thank you, I'll be back.
- What? - I'll be back.
- What are you running from?
- I'm not ready for a relationship, marriage and some kids.
- Are you crazy?
I know what you're running from.
- [Man] Are you okay?
- I just wasn't expecting that, sorry.
- Terrence and I came up with an awesome idea.
'Cause you wanted me to come here to help you with the party
I'll stay here while you two go nextdoor
to Jamaican Comfort Zone.
- Oh...
- [Robin] It's not like he's taking you to his place.
- Come on. - Okay.
- Bye, kids, have fun!
(somber music)
- I didn't know Miss Smith was your aunt.
- Yeah, yeah, she's awesome.
She does good work, too, I love your hair.
- Oh, thank you.
Do you know everything she does?
- I thought I did, I don't know.
Is there something she does that I'm not aware of?
- Oh, no, I was just wondering.
- So what brought you to Wilmington?
- Um, well, um...
My dad was in the military,
and he met my mom while he was on holiday
in Portland, England. - Cool.
- And, um, unfortunately he passed when I was about six.
I mean, long story short, um,
I ended up coming to school here.
So what evolution brought you here?
- Kind of a long story.
I struggled a lot in high school.
And barely made it to college.
Finally got there,
and I had this professor,
he was great, he was a really cool guy.
He believed in me, so...
I always knew that I was smarter than
the high school system said I was.
And I thought that I could create this code
to beat the lottery, to win it every time.
So by the time I was a senior in college I dropped out.
- Oh, okay, I don't think I'm understanding.
Why in the world did you drop out
when you so close to ending?
- Well, its crazy but I don't know if it was just luck,
or the code worked, but um, yeah, I hit the lottery for...
I hit the lottery for 1.5 million dollars.
- Wow.
Well, it's too bad I don't believe in the lottery,
'cause only God's my provider.
- [Waiter] Y'all doin' alright?
- Yeah, I'm good, thank you.
- Is there anything else I can get for you?
- No, we're good, thank you. - I think we're okay.
- [Waiter] Great.
- Hey, you wanna go dance?
- Right now? - Yeah.
- Sure. - Let's go.
(peaceful jazz music)
- What?
- You're beautiful.
You really are.
- I hope everyone is well rested on this Monday morning.
We have a new employee.
I would like to introduce Tasha Sprinkle.
Tasha, this is our lead team. - Hello.
- Tasha, this is Sergio.
Nick.
Carla.
Robin.
And Leanna.
- Hi.
- I would like everyone to welcome Tasha to our team.
She has a lot to bring to the table.
- Yes. - Yes, Robin?
- I was wondering just out of curiosity, how do we
incorporate Tasha into what we already have to be effective?
- She has-- - Oh, I got this.
- [Leader] Oh, okay.
- Well I'm bringing another level and with that level,
I'm gonna raise you to the norm and lead you to victory.
- Yes, victory.
We have some more good news.
We have decided who is going to lead our next project.
Leanna.
You will lead our next project.
Can we bring Leanna up here? (applause)
Congratulations, Leanna. - Thank you.
- [Leader] Welcome Tasha.
We have a lot of work to do.
Please get to work.
- I guess we can go ahead and get started.
You wanna go ahead and have a seat?
I guess we could get started.
- [Tasha] Excuse me, may I speak with you for a second?
- Yes, of course, how can I help you?
Of course, sit down.
- I thought I was hired to lead the project.
- [Leader] What would give you that idea?
- You said that you liked the way I led other projects
at Camille's right? - Yes, I did.
But that didn't mean that you would be lead.
- Well, what does that mean?
- That means that you can work your way up to lead,
like Leanna did.
- Okay.
I guess I understand.
- Okay, great, I'm glad that you understand.
Have a great day.
- She could at least made sure I get a desk or somethin'.
- Hi, Leanna Hillman checking in.
- [Receptionist] Yes, ma'am, have a seat, please.
- Alright, thank you.
Love your dress. - Thank you.
- Hi, I'm Jessica Smith, I'm checking in.
- [Receptionist] Yes, ma'am, have a seat, please.
- Thank you.
Hey, what are you doing here? - Hey!
Oh, you know my favorite part, doctors appointment.
- Girl, I tell you, don't you hate it?
But, here's what I think, who is the new chick they hired
up there with the ugly dress on?
- I didn't even notice.
- Girl, I saw that dress from the parking lot. (laughs)
It was horrible but anyway I like what you did to your hair.
You said you was gonna cut it and stuff.
- Thank you! - I love it.
- Guess who noticed it this time.
- Anthony? - Oh yes, he did.
- Girl, bye, I don't like him anyway.
Guys don't really pay attention to stuff that's important to
us like that like our hair, they don't pay attention to it.
- Oh, yeah I guess I'm gonna keep it this way because he
really, really loved it. - You should keep it that way.
It's your hair, don't worry about him.
But look, let me ask you somethin', are you off today?
- Yes, mm-hm, yes I am. - I need a big favor.
- What is it? - I need all my hair done.
But I need these edges done.
- [Receptionist] Miss Hillman?
- Hey, Leanna.
How you doin'?
- I'm good, oh, I like how you decorate the place.
Like, lobby and everything, it's beautiful.
- Thank you, you know,
your mother was the inspiration for that.
The last time you brought her with you to your appointment,
she was quite open about my choice of style, so,
I was just inspired to go ahead and redecorate,
so I'm glad you like it.
- Yeah, that's Mom. - Mm-hm.
You know, the last time you were here, too,
you were telling me about a date that you had comin' up.
So, how did it go?
- Oh, I'd rather not talk about that.
- Wow, it was that bad?
- It...
It was good, but um...
I broke my second date rule.
Yeah, I had too much confidence and I told him.
But it's alright though because he talked a little too much.
(both laugh)
- Well, I mean, it's better that you know now, right?
And I know it's hard, but trust me,
when the right one comes along, you're gonna know it,
'cause that won't matter to him, okay?
Alright, listen, let's get started.
I want you to take your wig off for me,
and I'm gonna close the door.
- Okay. - Alright.
Okay, how you feelin'?
- [Leanna] Um, it's a little sore.
- A little tender. - Yeah.
- Yeah, that's normal, okay?
So what you wanna do is go ahead and take that pain
medication that I gave you the last time,
so that you take that, any kind of headaches that you have,
it'll help alleviate that.
It should be gone by the end of the night, okay?
Alright, also I want you to come back in about six weeks,
and let's see how it's going, you know,
with these injections, they're not guaranteed.
I gotta be honest with you, there is no cure,
but this may help to stimulate hair growth,
and everybody's story is different,
but it's definitely worth a try, so come back in six weeks,
maybe we'll have a little peach fuzz?
And we'll take it one step at a time.
The other part I wanted to say to you also is please
manage your stress, I know you're going through a lot
right now, Leanna, but the stress is not gonna help
your body to get to heal for your hair to grow back,
so be mindful of that, don't worry so much.
It's gonna be okay, alright?
Alright, so say a prayer for me at church tonight.
- Oh, oh, oh! - (chuckles) You forgot.
(laughs) Alright. - Gotta go, bye.

♪ Lord, when you called me long ago
♪ I said yes
♪ Though the road has been rough
♪ I still say yes
♪ Sometimes I go all alone
♪ But my answer is yes
♪ As long as you're on the throne
♪ My soul says yes
- God is good, baby.
Yes, he is.
Yes, he is.
He's so good, so good.
- Can you control yourself?
- Honey, when the spirit hits ya,
you can't help but control yourself.
Hallelujah!
Yes, God.
Yes, yes, yes.
- What took you so long?
(Leanna sighs)
What took you so long? - I was busy.
- [Robin] Switch seats, let's switch seats.
- Why?
Hi. - Hi.
- Mrs. Siggly's giving me the creeps.
What took you so long anyway? - I was busy.
- Oh, whatever.
Sorry I asked, you're so secretive sometimes.
- Just enjoy the conference. - Oh, whatever.
- Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman,
neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
Amen.
For as the woman is of the man,
even so is the man also,
by the woman, but all things of God.
Amen.
Judge in yourselves is it comely that a woman pray
unto God uncovered?
Doth not even nature itself teach you that
if a man have long hair, is it a shame unto him?
Hear me now, but if a woman have long hair,
it is a glory to her,
for her hair is given her for covering, amen.
♪ There is a yes that resounds
- Y'all women so deep in the world,
you don't even know what's good for you.
But you, Leanna, when I heard the message,
you laid heavy on my heart, baby.
'Cause you know what, God put it on my heart, honey,
to let you know, honey, the word was revealed, baby.
You think about it, think about it.
The word was revealed.
Alright?
- [Robin] You should have at least called
so that he knows your interested.
- Oh, I hope he knows I'm interested.
I find him quite fit.
- I know he's interested also.
- How'd you know that?
- Come on!
Ready, go.
- For you.
Hi.
- What's all this?
- This is just me lettin' you know I've been thinkin' of ya.
- And what if I had somethin' to do after work?
- I'd come back tomorrow.
I thought we could hang out.
- [Tasha Voiceover] Oh I hope he did not come to get me
for some child support, I just started this job.
What is he doing here?
- You ready or what?
Come on, hop in.
- [Tasha Voiceover] Terrence and Leanna?
First my job and now my man.
(moody guitar music)
- [Terrence] You wanna go get a drink after this?
- No, thank you.
- Come on, it'll be fun.
- Proverbs 23:20.
"Don't drink to be drunk and don't eat to be fat."
- Okay. - I'm just joking.
- Yeah.
Look how clear the sky is right now, wow.
I bet if we came out here at night,
the stars would be unbelievable.
- Actually, if we did that I could tell a good little story.
Do you know the stars tell a story?
- No, I didn't.
- I used a star map using cylindrical projection before.
- [Terrence] (chuckles) What?
- I studied astronomy in high school.
It has to do with all of that.
- [Terrence] Cool.
What did you do whenever you went to college?
- Um, actually I got a full ride, I just didn't take it.
- You got a full ride to college?
You've gotta be some sort of genius or something.
Well why didn't you take it, what happened?
Were you scared or something?
- No.
- [Terrence] Are you sure, I mean, something had to happen.
You don't just pass that up.
- No.
- [Terrence] Come on, you could tell me.
- I wasn't afraid of anything.
- Leanna.
I just don't get it.
You've worked so hard.
Do you know how proud your dad would be at this very moment?
You've got a big opportunity at a big university,
and you go one month and then you quit?
- I didn't like it!
- I understand, darling, the kids, they're mean, I get it.
But you can't keep running from this forever.
If it isn't alopecia, it'll be something else.
- Something else? - Yes!
- I don't feel beautiful, I don't even feel pretty.
Mommy, this is ruining my life!
I'm sorry about earlier.
- [Terrence] It's okay.
Stuff happens, I guess.
- Are we okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah, we're fine.
We are the master of our fate.
We are the captains of our soul.
- (laughs) Sergio, pull up that video.
The one you showed me the other day about the pool,
and that person diving in it.
- Nick, I need you to come and look at those layouts.
- Um...
Can I bring my wings?
- Yes, Nick, come on.
- Yeah, Nick. (laughs) - Alright, see ya.
- See ya. - Did you pull it up already?
- [Sergio] Give me a second, let me find it.
- You need to hurry up and move from 3G to 4G.
- The world's slowest phone. - I mean, come on, man.
- Hey, everybody!
Hey!
Girl!
I had to tell you what was goin' on.
You remember when I was talkin' to you about my boyfriend
the other day? - No, I don't talk to you.
- (laughs) She's so crazy, we're such good friends.
- No. - Girl, he keeps calling me.
He is really pushing the marriage issue.
He is ready to settle down and I just don't know what
I should do, I mean, he is talking to some other woman,
but we have a child together and clearly I love him,
so I'm just trying to figure out what I should do.
Maybe I should just go ahead and settle down,
so I'm asking you for some advice.
Oh, you were asking his name?
- No. - His name is Terrence.
You probably don't know him, or maybe you do.
Well his aunt own that salon on Castle Street.
You know Miss Smith. (Leanna coughs)
Is she alright?
Okay, one bite at a time now.
So, I'm just trying to figure out what I should do.
I just-- - Okay, I've heard enough.
- Need a good friend. - I've heard enough, honey.
Let me think about it and I'll get back to you, okay?
- You're such a good friend. - I know.
- Thank you, girl, 'cause I just need to give him
some sort of answer, you know?
So we'll go from there.
You know better.
Okay!
Toodaloo!
- Adios!
That was weird, oh my God.
- [Leanna] Coincidence, right?
- I have a feeling you two are not gonna get along, honey.
- Are you coming in?
- [Leanna] (chuckles) No.
- Come on, you always have an excuse.
You've never been in my pool once.
- Whatever, actually I came over to talk to you,
about something.
- [Terrence] Okay, talk.
- Maybe after we eat.
- [Terrence] Okay, we'll just take a quick dip.
I have a change of clothes, you'll love it.
- No, no, no.
- Come on. - What are you doing?
Come on now, don't, stop playing, stop playing.
(somber orchestral music)
- [Terrence] You wanna try some, baby?
- No.
You know, I noticed you never say your prayers
before you eat.
- Well you always say your prayers before you eat.
- 'Cause I wanna honor God and thank him for my food.
- Yeah that's cool, but I mean, I don't.
- [Leanna] And why is that?
- 'Cause I don't believe in God?
- Oh, come again?
- I don't believe in God.
- Don't you think this is something that was really
important that you should have brought up
in the very beginning of our relationship?
- I mean, how important can it be if it's coming up now?
- I would think that if a woman says she's saying herself
for the sake of God, that maybe God might be
a bit important to her.
- Yeah but I knew a ton of church girls who said that
they were saving themselves and they'd give it up like that.
- But I'm not a church girl, I'm a Christian.
- I don't know what to tell ya.
I mean, I'm sorry.
- I've got to go. - Let's talk about it, don't.
Don't leave.
This is a lovely home you have here.
- Thank you.
Well, Leanna tells me you don't believe in God.
- Mommy! - It's okay.
Yes it's true, Mrs. Hillman, I don't believe in God.
- You sure are hungry.
You don't have food at your house?
- Mommy, mommy. - It's cool, baby, it's fine.
It's just that this pizza is delicious, handmade,
and I could see where Leanna gets it from.
- Leanna can do a little something.
After her dad passed, she had no choice but to help out.
- [Terrence] I know, I'm sure that was hard but,
hey, she was taught by the best.
- (chuckles) Thank you.
Have you ever thought about marriage?
- All the time.
I mean, how can I not?
Look at her.
- Natty Theese is gonna need a heavy tea cart to feed you.
- [Terrence] Okay it's just 'cause the food was amazing and,
I could see what a good job you did teaching Leanna.
- You're rubbin' it on a little thick, huh?
- [Leanna] Mommy.
- My mother told me that good manners will get you
far in life.
- But not into heaven?
- Mommy, this isn't your problem.
- My house, my problem.
So just tell me, what demon invited you here?
- You invited me here!
- [Mother] Alright, Mr. Smarty Pants!
- Just calm down.
- Okay.
There is no evidence that God exists!
Can you tell me where he came from?
- Calm down.
- You can't tell me where she came from so, I mean,
if he is real, let's say he is real, so,
what separates him from all the other gods to make him the
"one true god" that you church folk claim he is?
- (coughs) Let me... (coughs) - Mommy?
(Mother coughs)
What was that all about?
- I'm sorry.
- Sorry doesn't cut it.
Sorry doesn't excuse you disrespecting my mother.
- I was just voicing my opinion.
- It's not what you said, it's how you said it.
- Look, I was just being honest.
You know about being honest, right?
- I have something to tell you.
- [Terrence] What?
Come on, Leanna, tell me.
We're good.
Just tell me, Leanna.
- You know, let's just go.
- Hey, you know, I'm beat, I'm gonna get goin'.
- It's too late to drive back, just take the couch.
- Are you sure?
I don't wanna send you to hell or anything like that.
- Really, now?
Oh, come off it.
Just for you. - Okay.
(somber piano music) (water splashes)
(Leanna sighs)
(door opens)
(melancholic piano music)
- I'm sorry.
I can't do this, I'm saving myself for marriage.
- It was just a kiss, it's okay.
You know what, I'm just gonna go watch TV, then. (chuckles)
(Leanna pants)
- Father.
I want to thank you for being you.
You said "ask and you shall receive,
"knock and the door shall be opened."
Well, Lord.
I'm knocking really loud right now.
I'm asking for strength,
to keep myself pure,
while that sexy man sleeps on that couch.
I thank you in advance.
Amen.
- How you doin' today, ma'am?
Got a flier for you hot off at the press.
You don't wanna check it out?
- There's some guy out there trying to harass me.
- Out front? - Yeah.
- I'll take care of it no problem.
Hey, Calvin, hey.
Listen, if I'm gonna have you sittin' in front of my store,
I'm gonna need you to be just a little bit more friendly,
you know, friendlier with the customers coming in and out.
Please, just a little bit, okay?
Alright, thank you, appreciate it.
- What's up, man, goin' to play that lotto?
Got the winning ticket for you, guaranteed winner.
- [Terrence] No, I'm cool.
- Are you sure?
I don't know, man, you look like a pick three,
pick five, type of guy.
Yeah, I know I got your number right here, check it out.
Guaranteed, you can't lose.
You'll thank me later, buddy.
- [Terrence] Three, one,
six, zero,
three, sixteen.
No.
- You girls are just crazy.
You shave your eyebrows off just to draw 'em back on.
Stupid.
(water sprays)
But then again, everyone can't be perfect like me.
- I get the hint that you have a problem with me.
- Oh, you get the hint?
Honey, if I have a problem with you, trust me,
you will know it.
Oops!
My bad.
(somber atmospheric music)
- [Leanna Voiceover] Lord.
I need you right now.
I can't go on hiding.
I don't understand how something so simple can be so hard
to tell someone.
Just three words.
I have alopecia.
I have alopecia.
It's not as simple as it feels.
I know I've got to tell someone.
Someone.
I can't believe you have me out here like this.
- It's just hair.
- People are always saying that.
- I think you're making more of this than what it is.
- What if Terrence comes out here?
- His cheap behind?
How you gonna win the lottery and still be stingy?
(both laugh)
Come on, let's go.
But you know, if you try, do you trust me?
- I trust you. - You better.
'Cause I know where you live.
- I'm gonna have to move now. - Whatever.
Remember. (hums)
- Is that an American thing?
- Hey, beautiful. - Wes, what's up?
- [Wes] How you doin', come here, give me some love.
What you doin'? - I'm good, how are you?
- I'm good, I'm good, what brings you around here?
- Well, my best friend wasn't feeling too well,
so I figured it would be good to cheer her up a bit,
and bring her out. - Okay, okay.
- Leanna, Wes, Wes, Leanna.
- How you doin', nice to meet you.
- Hello.
- I gotta tell you, Robin,
you always stay with the pretty girl click.
- Well, what can I say, pretty girls need to stick together.
- Alright, I hear you, I hear you, you know what?
Matter of fact, I got something to cheer your friend up.
- Okay. - Give me a couple minutes.
And I'll be right back, okay?
- Alright, we'll see what you got.
- Sure, sure, I'll be back, alright?
- This might be your best plan yet.
- I told you, you're making more of this than what it is.
You've just gotta trust Robin, okay?
I'm not your best friend for nothin', baby.
At least I made you laugh, see, that's good.
(Wes clears his throat)
Hey, what's up?
- I'm back, I'm back. - You are.
- [Wes] You know what, I went to go get my friend Brandon.
Brandon, this is my old friend Robin.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- Her friend was feeling a little down,
so I brought you over here.
Her friend name is Leanna, Leanna this is my friend Brandon.
What, y'all know each other or somethin'?
You know what, Robin, you're gonna come to my table, okay?
We'll leave them alone and let them get acquainted, okay?
- Alright, well I'll be back, you be good, okay?
I love you.
- How are you?
- Hey, good.
- Feeling better? - Huh?
- Are you feeling better?
Is that your friend?
- Yeah, let me go over there real quick.
(somber piano music)
- It's alopecia, you need to stay away from her,
'cause I heard it's contagious.
- I think it might be cancer.
- [Leanna Voiceover] Dear Lord.
It's me again.
I know I probably shouldn't ask this, please forgive me.
But, but...
Why me?
I just don't understand.
Is there something you want me to do?
Why can't you just tell me?
Why are you making this so hard?
My lord and savior.
Why, why aren't you talking to me?
Why?
Do you hate me?
Do you?
- I'm not sure this is gonna make you feel any better,
it wasn't alopecia that made him leave you at the table.
He likes white girls.
- Of all the words in the English dictionary,
that's what you come up with for my issue?
- Girl, I'm gonna smack the crust outta your lips.
How are your lips ashy?
(Tasha sniffs)
- You like my flowers?
- Sure. - Terrence.
He sent them to me.
I think I'm gonna say yes.
- Yes to what?
- [Tasha] Marriage, silly.
- Oh, congratulations. - Thank you!
I thought I told you he asked for my hand in marriage?
I thought I told you.
Yeah, he said that the other girl he was talkin' to
was tryin' to pressure him to be some preacher or somethin'.
She's so whack.
Yeah, so he clearly gets the picture, he wants a family,
and he knows that I'm more of a woman than she will ever be.
(gasps) I gotta go, gotta put my flowers in some water.
(giggles) Love.
- Is that your Terrence?
- I hope not.
- Hold up.
What about this white girl thing?
(knocks)
- Excuse me, sir.
Can I help you with something?
Son, are you okay?
- [Terrence] I don't know.
- Are you waiting for somebody?
- No, sir.
Well yeah, kinda.
- Well who are you waiting for?
- Oh, I don't know.
- Can I help you with something?
I can't let you just sit out in this parking lot.
- What's this church service like?
- You know how I feel about gambling.
- Come on, it's a little bet, $20.
I could get it to you on the first spin.
- Come up with something else.
- Okay.
Well I could think of another game with a bottle,
and me and you.
- Spin the bottle? (Terrence chuckles)
- No, truth or dare.
I'll go first. - Okay.
Truth.
- Truth, okay, um, let's see.
Hmm.
Who's Tasha?
Mm-hm.
Mm-hm? - How do you even--
- Ah-ah! - How do you know about her?
- Answer the question.
- She's nothing, I mean, that was a fling, it was a,
it was a mistake.
It's over, it's over.
- Okay. - Your turn.
Why haven't you gone to college?
- I let something hold me back.
(funky electronic music)
- What is it that you've been meaning to tell me?
- Something that is very hard to say,
and I think I'm just gonna go ahead and keep it to myself.
You.
Truth or dare.
- I guess truth, I don't know now.
- Alright.
Do you have a son?
- Yeah, yes I do.
He's seven.
(upbeat piano music)
- [Boy] See you later, aligator!
(door closes)
- What's up, buddy? - What's up?
- How you doin', man?
- I'm good. - You good?
You do your homework? - Yes.
- Hey, I want you to meet Leanna.
Leanna, Tyrel, Tyrel, Leanna.
- Hi, Tyrel, nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you, too.
Dad, can we play a game? - Yeah, we could play.
Let me go upstairs real quick.
I'll be right back.
- He's yours and Tasha's son?
- No, he's my son and Tasha had him.
But he didn't have a dad and he needed one.
It was me and him.
- Why did you feel like you had to keep this from me?
(Terrence clears his throat)
- To make sure you're the one.
- [Leanna] So, what do you like to do?
- Um...
Well, I like sports and I wanna be an actor.
So I can have a supermodel girlfriend.
My dad says you're his supermodel.
(Leanna chuckles)
You're my dad's girlfriend, right?
- I guess.
- [Tyrel] You have to be.
You're the only woman he talks about.
- Oh, well that's good to know.
- Come on, gotta go, come on.
Let go, go on.
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- Well, there's this one girl in my class
I'm afraid to talk to.
- Why?
- Because I'm black, she's white.
Sometimes I wish I was white.
- Why would you wish something like that?
- Well, because all the girls in my class are white,
and sometimes I feel embarrassed,
'cause they don't know what I'm talking about.
- What kind of stuff?
- [Tyrel] You know, like, black TV shows, music and stuff.
- You should be happy with who you are.
God made you the way you are because you are special.
- Well, I know I'm special.
You know what?
I'm gonna be just like you.
- Like me?
Why?
- Because you know you're special,
and you're not afraid of who you are.
(phone vibrates)
- [Sophia] Hello?
What?
- Dr. Johnson?
Yeah, I have Dr. Johnson.
Yes, I have Dr. Messer on line three, I'll transfer.
Thank you.
How can I help you? - Hi, I'm Mrs. Smith.
I'm here to see Miss Hillman.
- [Receptionist] Okay, um, patient's first name?
- It's Gloria.
- Gloria Hillman? - Yes.
- And your relationship to that patient.
- I'm her best friend.
- Please have a seat and I'll let the doctor know
that you're here.
- [Sophia] Okay, thank you.
- Dr. Johnson, I have a visitor here for Mrs. Hillman.
Thank you.
(somber piano music)
(sighs)
- Mrs. Smith? - Yes.
- Hi, Dr. Johnson. - Hi.
- First off, I'd like to apologize due to the fact
that you're not immediate family,
I can only divulge so much information.
However, you are on the visitation list.
- Okay, so I can see her? - Yes, ma'am.
If you will please follow me. - Okay, good, thank you.
I'm gonna fix you something to drink, okay?
- Hey, baby.
(coughs)
Um, that's actually bad timing.
I'm going to be busy the whole weekend.
No, no, I'm just getting together with a few old friends.
I promise, I promise to let you know
when it's a better weekend soon, okay?
Okay, bye bye.
(coughs)
- Are you serious?
You cannot be this stubborn.
- Oh my goodness.
Are you still fighting to keep your mouth closed?
- [Sophia] Your daughter needs to know that her mother
was just in the hospital!
I see where she gets this hiding stuff from.
(somber orchestral music)
- I know my daughter.
I will tell her when the time is right!
- When the time is right?
When it's too late?
We don't want to lose you.
What would Leanna do without you?
- [Gloria] You just don't understand
how hard it's been for her.
- He's having a good year but you've gotta give
Canmuten a chance too, though, I mean--
- Oh gosh, all men do is talk about football.
- Oh come on, Olivia, Brady's so much better, you know that.
- Let me chat with my man right here it was good seeing you.
- [Man] Nice talking to you, go Patriots.
Come on, honey.
- [Calvin] There he is, the lotto king himself.
- Not today, man.
- What's the matter, you didn't hit that winning ticket?
- What's the matter is you stand out here all day
talking to people about religion, really?
I'm tired of it. - Whoa, relax, man.
Relax, okay, I didn't mean nothin' by it, man.
Just chill out.
- Alright, so let me ask you this, then.
If God is so real to you, where did he come from?
Where did God come from?
You know everything.
- I didn't say I know everything but I will tell you, God,
he didn't come from nowhere.
- Right, okay.
So, that doesn't explain anything to me.
- Alright man, look, first and foremost,
you obviously have an issue with God, that's your problem.
But think about this, think about this, okay?
The Bible clearly states he's the beginning and the end.
Okay?
The beginning.
Nothing was made without him.
I mean, he's the creator of time, air and space, alright?
I mean, he's not bound to it, you know why?
Because he created it.
It's hard for us to wrap our minds around it, because I mean
obviously we've always existed in time, air and space.
You know what?
Maybe you should try to understand God,
instead of trying to figure him out.
'Cause you'll never be able to do that, you know why?
'Cause you're not him.
Look, man.
I see you coming through here all the time, you know,
playing these lottery tickets,
I don't know what you're going through.
I mean, do you mind if I pray for you?
(both chuckle)
- Right here?
- Why not?
- Alright, I guess, yeah.
- You're not embarrassed, are you?
- I don't know, I've never did it.
- I'll show you, first time for everything.
Bow your head.
- [Leanna] Alright, this is what we have from the collection
of submissions that everybody submitted, any questions?
- I think it's missing some sex appeal.
- See, now why was my part not kept in the campaign?
It had sex appeal.
- I like it.
It's family-friendly.
- I agree with Sergio.
My part, sex appeal, add it back in and it will be perfect.
- [Sergio] Exactly.
- But the brand of the company is family-friendly but bold.
I do believe the bold is missing.
- I think Robin's idea best represents the brand.
Their brand is an NGP.
Nice Girl Power.
- Sex appeal.
- No.
We can come up with something more.
- Bald!
I do believe the bald is missing.
- Oh, I like it.
It's, it's...
Bold, it's beautiful, it's confidence,
it screams nice girl power. - Yeah, I love it!
- I hate it.
I mean, a bald woman?
That ain't sexy or beautiful.
I mean, think about this.
Nick, do you want an ugly bald-headed woman?
- If I like it.
Just because she's bald doesn't mean she's ugly.
- That's not what you're supposed to say.
But that's what I expect from a grown kid.
- [Leader] Tasha, this is unnecessary.
- Oh, no it's important that I get my point across.
Society wants a woman with long, beautiful hair,
who doesn't steal people men or their jobs.
- Tasha, that is enough.
- Terrence doesn't want no bald-headed woman.
Trust me, I know.
But I shouldn't have been--
- That's why your son's gonna be callin' me mommy.
(somber piano music)
(Tasha spits)
- Robin, go get security.
Did you hear me?
Nick, go get security!
- Is, (chuckles)
is this why you wanted a bald-headed head for your campaign?
Terrence does not want...
He doesn't know that you're bald.
(laughs)
Oh, he's about to find out now.
Baldy-locks, look at her, she's just a bald-headed hepher.
Look at this!
- Please.
Please don't tell him. (Tasha laughs)
- Baldy-locks!
Look at this.
She's bald.
(laughs)
She has a chair!
(Leanna sighs)
(phone vibrates)
- Hello.
(somber piano music)
(phone clunks)
(Leanna sobs)
No!
No!
(sobs)
No!
No!
(pants)
Mommy!
(muffled background chatter)
- Grace.
- What?
- Grace.
Remember when I asked your mom what separates Jesus
from all the other gods?
- Yeah.
- Well, the answer's grace.
And I know this now but I'm glad because I would have
realized what kind of confusion it caused between us.
- Confusion?
There would have been no confusion.
- Oh, you don't think so? - No.
I was actually gonna pick up the phone
and break it up a few months ago but I decided to wait.
- [Terrence] Don't worry about it.
(Robin sighs)
- Wow.
Beach is so beautiful.
What's up?
- I think he's gonna ask me to marry him.
- That's great.
Isn't it?
- I still haven't told him.
- Wow.
Leanna, what is it that you truly want?
- I want him to love me for who I truly am.
- But how can he when he doesn't know who you truly are?
(rhythmic electronic music)
(Terrence chuckles)
- I'm nervous, I'm not gonna lie.
When I first-- - Oh, um.
What are you doing? - Just listen, just listen.
When I first saw you, I knew that you were special.
I didn't know what it was that made you special, but,
I understand now.
I never thought I would fall in love and I never thought
that God would make the perfect person for me.
But I think that he made us for each other,
and, um...
And you're my best friend.
And the love of my life.
I just, I hope you feel the same way, too.
Leanna, will you marry me?
Leanna!
- I'm sorry.
I haven't been honest with you.
- What are you doing?
- I'm finally telling you the truth,
and showing you the real me.
(suspenseful swelling tones)
I'm sorry.
This is the real me.
I'm just tired of hiding, at work, at home, at school.
Most of all, I'm tired of hiding from you.
- I thought you knew.
- [Leanna] That I knew what?
- I thought you knew that I knew you had alopecia.
- Who...
- [Terrence] From the first day we met,
whenever you almost hit me with the car,
I went and asked my aunt all about you.
That wasn't gonna stop me from wanting you.
- You knew.
This whole time. - Leanna, it's fine.
Hey, it's okay.
Listen.
You know whenever a person gives her life to Christ,
and an angel is assigned to them,
well, you're that angel for me.
I didn't know what grace looked like,
and I didn't know what a blessing was,
until I met you.
Until I met you.
Whatever it takes to do this, I'm willing.
I'm willing.
So please, will you marry me?
- [Leanna] No.
You don't know the real me.
- Are you listening to me?
I already know.
It's fine.
- I'm not like most women.
The ones that have dealt with their insecurities.
I'm still dealing with mine.
How can I expect you to love me if I don't love me?
This is gonna always have some type of profound effect on me
no matter what we're doing.
No matter what we're doing.
Can you handle that?
(suspenseful swelling tones)
- I'd be a fool not to.
(upbeat R&B music)
- Um, Robin, guess what.
Come on! (laughs)
- She said yes!
- So come on down, Robin, so we can celebrate.
Bye.
Alright, we're about to tell him what we're about to have.
Shh.
- [Terrence] Hey, you wanna go get something to eat?
- Oh, yeah, sure. - Okay, great.
What are you doing?
- Trying to get in the car. (Terrence laughs)
But um, I've got a surprise for you.
- Alright.
- [Leanna] Look!
- It's a girl.
(both laugh)
- Yes, surprise!
Yes, we're having a girl.
