Our Kind of People (2021) s01e09 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Our Kind of People" I came to save our company, Jack.
I gave Teddy my shares.
There's always been something special between us.
I am staying in Bungalow 3.
It's kind of crazy Both of us getting to know our fathers at the same time.
We both think you should move in with us.
Thank you.
How are you feeling about your dad? Can you please not press me tonight? Darius Bates knew your father better than anybody.
He did have a girlfriend.
Patricia Vaughn? That woman holds more secrets than the grave.
Boo! Oh, my God, you scared me! - Hey, baby! - Ahh! I didn't know you were coming in today.
I would've picked you up at the ferry.
Well, you know, I needed to stretch my legs after that long-ass boat ride.
But I will take some sugar if you got some.
- Piggy, is that you? - Nikki! Piggy's in the house! Oh, look at you.
Um, I want to hear all about your trip, but I just told Taylor I was on the way, so Oh, do you, baby girl.
Don't keep your sweetheart waiting.
- I love you.
- I love you.
See you when I get back.
Bye-bye, love you.
Bye.
So, what'd you do, who'd you see? Oh, just hung out with some of the girls, you know, talking about people, and whippin' asses in bid whist, like I do.
Yes, you do.
Whoa.
Good morning, Nate.
Miss Patricia, hello.
- Angela.
- Good morning.
So, what you two been up to around here while I was gone? N-Nothin' too much.
Taking the same long-ass boat ride to Boston, trying to get a new job, my own place for when we all head back there in the fall.
Oh.
Are we all going back to Boston in the fall? - Well - Uh, Angela's about to land her distribution deal with Franklin through the incubator program, and I just want to contribute.
That's right.
And I hope you find something really good.
Good luck, Nate.
Good luck, Nate.
Listen, okay, just don't.
I'm sick of this.
Tyrique thinks the same thing.
There's nothing.
There's nothing there.
There's nothing unresolved between me and Nate.
He's here to co-parent Nikki, okay? I believe you.
But hell what you heard, I'm here to tell you Unfinished business always comes back around.
See, look at you.
Ain't been here five minutes and already spittin' out Piggy-isms.
I need coffee.
I'll take a cup.
Speaking of Tyrique, he hasn't been the same since you left.
He's all messed up over his father's suicide.
Lord.
Give me strength.
Need a hand? You've been in here for a half-hour.
I'm trying to think of this whole chess game with Teddy and all the damage that he's caused Darmon with tangling it up with that shady shell company.
I'm sorry.
I should've told you sooner.
I was just hoping that if I had more time, I would be able to save Darmon, or at the very least, protect us.
No, Teddy would've stopped you.
He did.
All this dirt that I thought I had on him got cleaned up the moment he got a whiff of what I knew.
Raymond, I've been trying to figure out what he's been doing for months now.
You're being very understanding about this.
You told me the truth, and you're standing with me.
That's the least I can ask for for us.
So, what are we gonna do next? I am gonna show Teddy exactly who you're married to.
Mm.
Sloane? If there was an actual stairway to heaven, the shine you put on that banister would rival it.
Beautiful work, Sloane.
Well, do you expect anything less than perfect from me, Grandma? Keep that same hustle when you tackle the great room.
Now, where were we? Mm right here.
This last week has been hella stressful.
I mean, sneaking around and my grandma watching our every move.
We need to get out of here, you know? Have some real fun.
My friend Mariah's having a party tonight.
- You should come with me.
- I'm down.
What is this, an ambush? An ambush? That's really dramatic.
- You could've called.
- I have.
I've been calling.
Tyrique, I'm trying.
Look, I don't try.
I'm usually the first one to run at the sign of trouble, but I'm trying with you because I thought we were building something.
Weren't we? Angela, Teddy's got me pitching on the sky boxes.
I'm keeping myself busy.
Seems like you're busy, too, like maybe you want to try again with Nate.
So I'm giving you your space to figure that out.
I know what you think you saw, and no.
I didn't ask for space.
I think you're using this as an excuse to avoid talking about how you're really feeling.
Yeah, you should know.
Being as though you're doing the same thing.
Okay.
Seems like you want to keep running, so And as you know, we are approaching the end of summer.
Our Dean of New Prospects, Olivia DuPont, will explain what the next few weeks will entail for those of you looking to join our sisterhood.
Thank you, Madam President.
Now, over the next few weeks, some of this chapter's most prestigious alumni will be returning to the island to personally vet this prospective class.
Now, the first of these "get to know you" events will be this evening's Low Country Crab Boil, where some of you will meet expectations and others of you will not.
- O-Olivia.
- What? I frankly don't think that our alumni will get her charm.
"Her" has a name, and why not? I mean, I've proven that I want this sisterhood, and I'm down with public service just like y'all.
I don't get it.
Is it back to that stuff about my bank account, or lack thereof? Ms.
Vaughn, as much as we know how much you love making a one-woman show out of every event, we have actual business to attend to.
Thank you.
You started it with your slick comment.
I'm I'm sorry.
I'm just speaking up for myself.
My mother, who was the smartest person God ever saw fit to walk this Earth, always taught me to speak your mind at any time.
And in order to become a Gracetie, you must also learn that there are times when decorum must take precedence over your opinion.
Okay, Olivia, let's not do this.
This is what I mean.
There's a certain refinement that comes from being born to this rare air that is impossible to counterfeit.
That is why the Graceties have never invited someone not on our level into our membership.
Not on your level.
You know what's not counterfeit? This blood.
- Angela.
- I belong here.
- Angela, let's just - No, she - Let's just take a walk.
- It's fine.
As I was saying All right, you need to calm down.
Calm down? Did you not hear Olivia? You know what? If being a Gracetie means being more like her, I'm out.
- I don't need this.
- Actually, you do.
- Why? - You'll see.
Dow Inc, meantime, posting an earnings feed for its second quarter - Angela, hello.
- Hey.
Leah and I wanted to talk to you, and I'm afraid it's bad news.
What is it? Is it your health? No, no, no, I'm fine.
It's the incubator program.
Franklin Holdings is going to shut down this summer's program, which means that your distribution deal - isn't gonna happen.
- What? Ever since the intrepid Alex Rivera exposed my Parkinson's diagnosis, we've taken a hit.
The board voted to stabilize by putting all of our assets in the stadium deal.
Franklin Holdings cannot invest in anything now.
- Including Eve's Crown.
- So it's over? Just like that? I'm sorry, but our hands are tied.
I left everything in Boston to come here.
I put my heart and soul into this program.
And now I have nothing? Oh, my God.
I have nothing.
I feel so stupid! To think that one summer could change my life and my daughter's life.
It doesn't have to be like that.
The Graceties support Black businesswomen from within the ranks.
So win over the Graceties, and I promise you, you will stay on track to meet your goals.
And, yes, you have to go through all the events and you have to get around Olivia.
But then you're part of the sisterhood, and I will do whatever I can to help.
I have to go.
Hey.
You hungry? Got enough chili for two.
Dozen maybe.
Hey, what's wrong, Gee? Leah and Teddy canceled the incubator program.
I had all my eggs in that basket.
Now, in order to get my business going, I'm gonna have to charm the Graceties.
If anybody can charm anyone, it's you.
Remember our Howard days when you were doing hair in the dorm? Your magic touch was the only thing that the AKAs and the Deltas could agree to.
True.
And look, you're tenacious.
That's what gets me most about you.
You just got to get your eye back on the prize.
Thank you.
How are your prospects? The, uh, only offers I've had so far are from a couple homies on the inside, and they're hiring for the kind of jobs that would land me back in there with them.
What are you doing? Giving you some of my tenacity.
I'll take it.
Well, I need to go impress some alumni, so got to study.
Later.
Oh, shoot.
Damn it.
Sir.
Your Mother.
Yes, I know those footsteps anywhere.
What is this I hear about Jack selling his Darmon shares to Teddy? I'm handling it.
Can we get you a drink? Uh, small gin martini.
If Teddy controls that much stock, we have no chance of getting our company back.
Yeah, well, Jack and I had a little dust-up, so I'm gonna give him a beat to cool down, and then I'll get him to see the light, but in the meantime, we have more than just his stock to secure.
Teddy has tied up Darmon in some sort of less-than-reputable operations.
Our Legacy, LLC? I never heard of them.
That's 'cause it only exists on paper.
A shell corporation? Is Teddy setting Darmon up for a fall? If your father knew what had become of Darmon, he would be spinning in his grave! I know you're really upset right now, but we both know it's not on Dad's behalf.
When he passed, you expected to be in charge, but instead, he put me in charge, so with that, stand down.
Melvin, freshen this up for me.
And I like three olives, you know that.
Yes, ma'am.
Meeting adjourned.
End of the summer.
That happened so fast.
Who are you tellin'? I'm about to be back in boarding school in a couple weeks.
And I don't know about you, but I have not read one book off of the reading list, and you know Ms.
Johnson does not play in AP English.
Hey, Nikki, do you mind if I just talk to Taylor just really quickly? - It It's just personal.
- Yeah, of course.
Text me.
I think my mom's cheating on my dad with Uncle Jack.
I thought that my parents were working on their marriage, but I don't know, what if my mom is playing my dad? Like, am I wrong for not saying anything? Is there legit proof? That's his key card to his hotel.
I found it in my mom's car.
I don't know, Lo.
I mean, my mom's third marriage ended when I told her I saw my stepdad having lunch with a woman alone.
Turns out the woman was his boss, but we still had a full-on family implosion.
You sure you want to take that risk? Honestly I don't know.
Come here.
It's gonna be all right.
Okay, so this is my mother's memorabilia from her time as president.
You should study everything.
There are invitations, fundraising amounts, guest lists.
Oh, oh, and these are labeled so you get a sense of who's who of the Black Glitterati.
Got it.
May I? Yeah, of course.
Now, Olivia and her cronies are gonna question you on history, etiquette, and past membership.
But most importantly, on your commitment.
I want this, so I'm gonna dive right in.
Ah.
Giselle Hilgard.
Commit that face to memory.
She runs a venture capitalist firm out of Boston, and Giselle will be coming to the Welcome Back Low Country Boil.
Win her over, and you keep Eve's Crown alive, not only for you, but for Nikki, too.
I was really just expecting some tips and pointers.
This is Thank you.
Well, tips and pointers are for friends.
I go deeper for family.
Oh, I'm gonna look for the charter membership roster.
You mention any of these names to Olivia, and she might just pass out.
Good.
Look, this is an easy one.
What was the theme of the 1988 Summer Arts Scholarship Ball? Something to do with theater No, Broadway.
Um, a night at the opera.
Oh, my brain is full.
I don't know how I'm supposed to cram all this Graceties chapter history into it.
Maybe we could try a memory palace.
It's a memory strategy that uses visualization to help you remember stuff.
How'd you get to be so smart? I could be smarter.
I was thinking that maybe I could apply to Lauren and Taylor's boarding school.
You're always telling me to take stuff to the next level, and this is me doing that.
And seeing your boo every day doesn't hurt either? Okay, you told me to make friends, and I did, and I-I just don't want to lose them when it's over.
I get it, and baby, let me tell you, I love that you're thinking bigger for yourself.
And I know that when you sit in front of whoever runs that school, they'll see everything I see.
But boarding school may have to wait.
Franklin Holdings took a hit after Teddy's heart attack.
They had to shut down the incubator program.
Which means no distribution deal for Eve's Crown.
Yeah, I know.
But you know how you say your mama always has a plan? If I impress at this Graceties alumni event, I might just find a new investor, such as venture capitalist Giselle Hilgard.
I'm gonna get her a sample pack.
What do you think her hair texture is? 4A? Yeah, 4A looks right.
The dark blue will look better under candlelight.
Hmm.
Well, pledges are your lane, and everything else is mine.
If we're talking about lanes, Teddy Franklin has jumped the median.
By scooping up Jack's Darmon shares, your father has my son in a choke hold.
Are you gonna help Raymond, or are you too busy ordering shrimp by the pound? Oh, my man doesn't need my help.
You know, you may be running a corporation and presiding over the Graceties, but the job you should be working twice as hard at is bolstering your husband's success.
Thank you for the pearls of wisdom, and for killing feminism while you're at it.
But you know what, I'm really happy that you are here.
Please, have a seat.
Earlier, you mentioned that our organization has never admitted anyone who wasn't upper class.
But I've been going through Mommy's memorabilia, and I came across a picture.
Hmm.
Of you, Rose, and Eve at a tea for prospective.
Look at us.
Rose believed that Eve could rise in membership with the Graceties and truly build something for herself.
But instead, little Eve took the shortcut to success through Teddy's bed.
And so that's why you're always so obstinate when it comes to Angela Vaughn? I'm sick of her touting her mother's name, putting her up on a pedestal for all to admire when, in reality, Eve Vaughn was trash.
And Angela Vaughn is proving to be no better.
Her behavior is a disgrace, and the fact that you can't see that, it makes me question your leadership.
The dark blue.
You know, there are easier ways to get my attention.
- Is that so? - Oh, it's so.
Yes, I don't know, maybe like trying to buy Jack's Darmon shares.
There's no trying involved.
Jack came to me.
Not the greatest negotiator.
He agreed to my first offer.
The result by week's end, I will have a controlling interest in Darmon Foods.
What will you have? My youth.
You've been gunning for me, and I had a lot of time to actually contemplate why.
And the bottom line is I think you're jealous that I have the rest of my life ahead of me.
Time is no longer on your side.
It's on mine.
There's nothing you can do about that.
Enjoy your nightcap.
You know why it's so hard to surprise me? 'Cause I never give anyone the chance.
Why'd I find those where you're sleeping? Cocaine? That's the new job prospect you were talking about in code? Why?! It's one thing for you to bring this in my house, the house that my mother worked her entire life to pass down to me, but in front of your daughter? What were you thinking? I cannot have you around if you're gonna break her heart.
Hold on.
Mama Liv.
Get in here.
What brings you? Well, every time I have a case of Harpson's Reserve delivered, I can't help but think about that naughty little boy who used to raid my bar.
You did stock the good gin.
Oh.
You must be about the only DuPont who's not mad at me right now.
- 'Cause you know Raymond is.
- Raymond doesn't need to know I'm here.
How about a martini? And a chat? Let's.
Run up on you wit' DA quickie Bop around in this like I'm Diddy Fly east side Doobie wrap, wrap wax, gimme dap Ooh! Yo! What's up? What took you so long? - What up? I don't know.
- Hi.
Yo! Want something to drink? - Yeah.
- What kind? Well, look who decided to show up.
And you brought a girl.
I was wondering why you never texted me back.
Now I know why.
I love your bag.
I'm surprised you got one.
I mean, they never have that color.
Mariah, this is Sloane.
You know Jackie, our house manager? It's her granddaughter.
Don't you ever introduce me like that again.
What do you mean? Everybody knows "house manager" is rich people code for maid.
I'm sorry.
No, I-I'm sorry, babe.
I guess I'm just a little insecure around your rich friends.
I feel like if you tell them my whole back story, they're not gonna accept me.
Look, I promise you you have nothing to worry about.
Okay.
When I come around everything shut down You know how to mix a martini properly As dry as the Kalahari.
Cheers.
I learned from the best.
Well, what can I say? I was the fun Mom.
Hey, you were.
And guess what? Hey, fun Mom, do you want to do a bump? 'Cause I swear I got some coke in here somewhere.
Jack, no one of good breeding does cocaine anymore.
- Eh.
- Now, I hear that you and Raymond are cross with one another? I need my boys to To get along.
To keep your shares to yourselves Mm-hmm.
And out of the hands of Teddy Franklin.
You two are like brothers.
No, no.
Uh, not anymore.
Uh, Raymond made that pretty clear.
And to be honest, I am just so tired of his constant judgment.
Teddy is gonna pay me a fortune for my shares, and then I'm gonna be done with Raymond.
Mm.
Oh, ho, ho.
Un poquito la cocaína.
Did your father ever tell you how the DuPonts and the Harmons formed Darmon? Yeah.
Our great-grandfathers were best friends.
Just like me and Raymond used to be.
Not quite.
There was respect, yes, but your great-grandfather was no more to Raymond's great-grandfather than a guarantor for a loan at a time when a Black man couldn't get one on his own.
Now, granted, your family did us a solid, but we returned the favor 100-fold by allowing generations to participate financially.
But those shares are not yours to sell.
Listen carefully.
You may not sell your shares to Teddy Franklin.
You're not my mother.
And according to you, we're not even family.
No more than a guarantor.
Isn't that what you just said to me, Olivia? No.
Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey, I'm sorry.
Let's just Let's have another drink.
Look, we will we will celebrate the shares being sold and the severing of the families.
I mean, I am the end of the Harmon line, right? - Come on.
Let's just - Let go of me! Last of the line.
That's what you said, Jack.
That one's definitely Venus.
It's too damn bright.
Yeah.
Do you see why I'm re-taking intro to astronomy this year? Mm-hmm.
I got a "D.
" Yeah, I believe you.
Uh, and speaking of classes, your boarding school, do they give scholarships to people who can't afford tuition? I mean, maybe.
I don't know.
Wait, are you Are you applying? I-I have been thinking about it.
Okay.
That's cool.
Uh, yeah, I mean, I thought it would be Hey.
Sorry, uh, I-I was not trying to inter I will come back.
No, what's up? Um well, I just figured out what I was gonna do with, uh, the thing.
And I need I was hoping that you would come with me.
Sorry, Nikki, it's It's really not like that.
Taylor's just been kind of helping me with It's just kind of personal.
No, it's okay.
It's cool, I-I'm coming.
I'll, um I'll come back and get you, all right? Okay.
Come on.
Wait.
Do you think this is a good idea? Uncle Jack might be a screw-up, but he loves my family.
So I'm just gonna give him the opportunity to do the right thing and back off.
Okay.
Uncle Jack? Oh, my God, is he dead? Lo, come on.
So, they really old friends up in here.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Sorry to interrupt.
- Oh.
- It was good to see you.
Giselle Hilgard, Managing Partner, Contributing Editor at Essence magazine, and Graceties legacy.
Ooh, someone's done their research.
Angela Vaughn, CEO of Eve's Crown.
It is such an honor to meet you.
This organization that your great-grandmother helped found is so inspiring, uplifting, much like the work you do at your firm.
We try to level the playing field for entrepreneurs other VCs might overlook or undervalue.
That's what I'm talking about.
And, you know, Eve's Crown, my hair care company, is not a start-up, but it's still small, and we're looking to scale up by securing national distribution.
Matter of fact, we are launching a new curl pudding, and let me tell you, this stretches curls better than yoga.
Here.
- Is that jasmine? - Mm-hmm.
Have you no decorum? - Excuse me? - Decorum.
Good taste, propriety? Maybe you should've taken that etiquette class with your daughter, because then you would know we don't pass out samples and pressure our VIP alumni.
I wasn't trying to pressure her.
I'm We all stand on the shoulders of ancestors like Giselle's great-grandmother I know reaching back so we can continue reaching forward to take hold of the very principles that the Graceties were founded upon.
Now, clearly, you did not understand the assignment because curl pudding is not one of those principles.
I apologize for our prospective.
I need you.
It's important.
Hey.
Nikki, uh - Is there something going on with you and Lauren? - What? Because you've been spending a lot of time together, and you're going back to boarding school next month.
I don't want this to just be a summer fling.
I love you.
Yeah, I-I just I can't talk about this right now.
Is everything okay? Do you n-need something? Yeah, it's nothing, I just, um Can I Can I call you tomorrow? I'm I'm sorry, I just Nikki! I found Uncle Jack dead in his bungalow, but I was too scared to call the Police.
I know.
Your father told me.
Why were you and Taylor even there? I found his key card in your car.
Look, I knew that you and Dad were having problems, but No, no, no.
Raymond, last week at the beach club, Jack gave me a key card and invited me to his bungalow, but he was wasted, and it was totally inappropriate, and obviously, I didn't go.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
Lauren, listen, I don't want you to have to worry about our marriage, okay? Because your mother and I, we're solid.
Lauren, why don't you go splash some water on your face? Run a bath.
I can come in, we can talk it out.
Okay, Raymond.
You have to believe me.
Okay.
Jack was so reckless with the drinking and with our company.
Yeah, I was angry at him, but I just never expected him to go out like this.
And for our daughter to have to see him like that.
I'm gonna go down there and get in front of all this.
Hakeem, why is the baby here? Hey, baby.
- Hey.
- Where's Nate? I thought maybe you two had finally got a room to do your 10 toes up, 10 toes down Piggy, please, all right? Nate's gone.
I found drugs in his room.
Man, you should've heard the game he was spittin', talking about how he's here to help, how he want to shoulder some of my burden Angie, the drugs are mine.
What? A few weeks ago, Tyrique came to see me, and he started asking questions about his father's past.
My past.
And it just brought up so many memories that it triggered the old me, the me you don't know.
I was addicted to crack back in the day, and I fell in love with my dealer, Darius.
Our love was so volatile.
And one day, we were high as kites and we got to fightin'.
And I swear, I wasn't going down easy, 'cause he had his hand on my neck.
But I was able to grab a a A knife from the kitchen counter, and I stabbed him! Now, I didn't mean to kill him.
I swear I didn't.
I mean, I didn't want to! I loved him! But I was so scared.
And I I told Eve.
And she said that her boss, Teddy Franklin, would know what to do.
And so he had his bodyguard, Tyrique's dad, Calvin, take care of the body.
And that was that.
You must think that I'm a monster.
Nope.
Mnh-mnh.
You did what you had to do.
You said it was you or him, right? And I-I got those drugs when I went to Boston.
I mean, I just had so much stuff comin' at me that I-I-I've been struggling a bit, baby.
And I-I That's why I had to get out of there, and I know that I-I need to start going back to NA meetings.
Angie, I see how happy you've been getting to know Teddy, but your daddy ain't worth a pot.
Now, he been danglin' Darius' murder over my head since we came to town, and that's why I left Nikki's Cotillion.
He even tried to force me to use it to get you to leave town.
He can't be trusted.
He can't.
And you got to believe me.
I do.
Hey.
Get home safe.
Okay, we'll talk.
You know, the responsibilities of the president of this organization run the gamut.
Sometimes it's choosing the right place settings for an event.
Sometimes it means reprimanding a member who's out of line.
Well, heavy hangs the head that wears the crown.
Who's on the block? Well, I'm issuing a formal warning.
- To you.
- Me? Leah, you are drunk.
Go lie down.
Olivia.
I'm sick of your behavior towards Angela.
This can't just be about defending my mother's honor, because my mother has never been so cruel.
You know I was raised to believe a woman's place was behind her husband.
Bolstering his success, propping him up.
Darmon was the family business I married into, but one I couldn't be part of no matter how many times I asked Vernon.
Eventually, I wore him down, and he gave me some money to invest.
I chose to back Eve's Crown.
So my mother wasn't the only one who was friends with Eve? Friends? I trusted Rose, so I put cash on the barrelhead, and then she went and slept with Teddy and got pregnant, and then that arrest, and Vernon scolded my judgment.
And he took the money back.
And now her daughter's back with the same mouth, flaunting her freedom to have it all, when it was her mother that took mine.
That wasn't Angela's fault.
Look.
You will leave her alone.
You've been censured.
Push me, little girl.
I will push back.
You're drunk, Olivia.
Go lie down.
I'm disgusted with myself.
I completely overreacted.
How's Piggy? She'll be okay.
I just got so heated.
The last time you let me down, you broke my heart.
More than any man ever has, still.
I don't think I ever fully got over it.
So, when I thought it happened again, I freaked out, and that was on me.
I apologize.
Excuse me.
Yeah? This is Angela.
Hi, Giselle.
Really? I mean, of course.
Perfect, let me know what works.
Thank you.
Good news? I Oh, my God! That was Giselle Hilgard.
She said she loved my pitch, that my curl cream had her curls sitting up all night, and she wants a meeting! Uh-huh, I told you so, didn't I? - Blah! - Blah! - Shut up! - Push me.
Oh, my God.
We can't.
Nikki just got you back.
I'm still in this complicated thing with Tyrique.
Just You kissed me back.
It's reckless.
I'm sorry.
Hey.
I couldn't sleep.
Same.
It's just, like, every time I close my eyes, I see Uncle Jack.
I just don't know what to think.
I just can't believe he's gone.
I'm sorry, Q.
Want me to make you feel better? Mom.
Raymond.
I didn't see you there.
I was looking for you.
- Where've you been? - I was at the police station.
I was giving them a statement.
Told them how I was worried about Jack.
He'd been having a tough time lately and he's over-indulging.
Hadn't heard from him for a few days, so I went by his bungalow to make sure he was okay, and when he didn't come to the door, I asked the manager to check on him, and that's when we found him.
He was dead.
That's unfortunate.
No.
No, what it is is a lie.
What's unfortunate is that Lauren found his body first.
You know, I'd imagine that there's not too many people who drink Harpson's Reserve with this shade of lipstick.
I told you to stay out of it.
So, I'm pretty sure that they're gonna rule this an accident.
But I'm also pretty sure that you're aware that, according to the corporate bylaws, upon his death, Jack's shares revert back to our family.
Yes.
I'm aware.
So, did you think you were just gonna take over Darmon yourself? Damn right.
It's about time a woman was in control of this family.
You know, for once, I don't mind you meddling in my business.

But I hate to break it to you.
Your chances to run Darmon have not come.
I'll be taking things from here.
Have a good night.
