Out of the Deadpan and into the Fire

[bears roaring]
[Camille] In nature,
vulnerability is synonymous
with weakness, which pretty
much always leads to death.
That's why a sea turtle's
first moment on Earth
is a full-speed run to the water.
Move too slow
and you're bird food.
Sometimes people,
and specifically Black people,
when the deck
is stacked against them
in the survival department,
can get so good
at masking vulnerability
to the outside,
we don't even know it
when we're feeling it inside.
[tiger roars]
Yeah, so change of plans, man.
Camille ain't coming.
Hmm.
Interesting twist.
Yeah, so I'm here on her behalf
to tell you to stop
embarrassing yourself.
Just move on.
That's her saying that or you?
That's me for her.
Well, why couldn't
you just come here
and tell me herself?
I'm handling her lightweight.
- Lightweight?
- [Ian] Yeah.
That's from her or from you?
Yeah.
Is that you saying yeah
or you as Camille?
What the fuck
you talking about, man?
Man, I don't know.
[laughs]
Mm.
Just stop texting her.
Why would she send you
when we were totally cool
at Columbia yesterday?
You saw her yesterday?
And she didn't tell you.
Double twist.
But she told you to come here?
Well, she left her phone
and I seen your text.
So she's keeping secrets
and you're hacking her phone.
Happily ever after is
off to a great start.
Yeah, well, actually, it is.
And that little text message
you sent to her
about y'all being a good team?
It's bullshit.
We're the team.
She chose me, not you.
Bro, that text message
was about work.
We got offered a grant.
- A grant?
- [Jameson] Yeah.
A grant is when a foundation
pays you to do some research.
I know what a grant is, man.
I'm not fucking stupid.
Okay then.
What's the big deal?
She's looking for another job.
This would be great visibility
and money.
Then why did she say no?
Maybe she was afraid
you'd get worried
about her working with her ex?
Look, bro,
I love Camille, a'ight?
I don't want her
to give up work for me.
- And she should say yes.
- She absolutely should.
- [Ian] Yeah, I'll talk to her.
- [Jameson] I'll talk to her.
You talk to her.
Long as we understand
she's with you for work
and me for love.
Aw.
On the house.
Happy Pride, guys.
[laughter]
Now that's a twist.
[Kenyon] It's
a quarter past midnight ♪
[Camille] Hey, babe.
Sorry about Tye's. I
Forgot this?
Uh, yes.
[sighs]
Longest day ever.
- Hey you.
- Hey.
Ooh, looks good.
- You look good.
- Thank you.
[both chuckle]
[inhales deeply]
Where were you?
Uh, Dr. Pruitt's
and then the dean's.
It was brutal.
Turns out that
Dr. Pruitt's assistant
stole half of her
Seneca Village project,
and she was pretending
to be Black.
[laughs]
She was really a white girl
from Florida.
Yeah, I'll never understand
the upside of white women
pretending they ain't white.
Yes!
Like, what do they want?
The bigger wage gaps?
Or is it the racism?
Or is it just pure jealousy
because I mean, like, you know?
- Facts.
- [Camille chuckles]
I heard that.
So now Columbia
is requiring paperwork
to prove that we are
who we say we are,
which means I have
to get my birth certificate,
which means I have
to go by my mom's.
But I'm not up for that alone,
so you could come?
In and out in ten.
I got you.
Yes, you do.
Mm-hmm.
So what have you
been doing all day?
[sighs]
Well, not too much.
Oh, I hung out
with your boy Jameson.
Okay, first of all,
he's not my anything.
And what do you
what do you mean hung out?
Like, on purpose?
So it was crazy.
I texted you, right?
Your phone dinged here.
And then right after,
he texted you
asking you guys to meet up.
It was a little bit
of a coincidence but I
I went.
[chuckles]
- That's weird.
- Yeah.
You know, it just seemed like
he was still trying
to get at you.
- No.
- [Ian] But ititit wasn't.
I talked to him,
and I guess it was about, um,
the grant that you guys
got going on.
And we actually think
you should take it.
The men talked
and decided what I should do?
- That's so fucked up.
- [Ian sighs softly]
And not to mention going
through my text messages?
Like, what the fuck, Ian?
Camille,
wasn't even like that.
Look, the first thing I did
was tell you.
I mean, I'm not the one
holding secrets here.
Meaning what?
Why don't you tell me?
Oh, okay.
So coincidentally,
some text messages
from my doctor came through.
Or were you going through
my emails, too?
It wasn't a secret.
I justI needed a few days
to wrap my head around the fact
that maybe I can't have kids.
What?
[soft dramatic music]
Wait.
That's not what you were
Baby, I was talking about
you not telling me Jameson
saw you at work.
Oh.
What's wrong?
It's a numbers
like, eggs thing.
So the fertility results
you were waiting on,
you actually already knew
and you went through
this alone.
I was going to tell you.
I just
it's really overwhelming
to find out that
the plans that we have
might not be
physically possible.
♪
I mean, I could have
been there for you.
You could have
been there for me.
WeI mean, we could have
what the fuck, Camille?
I thought we was past
you keeping shit to yourself
until the last second.
So what are we?
Wewewe a relationship
or some fucking
fake-ass white girl
pretending to be someone
we're not? Like
Ian.
Ian, we are not
a fake white girl!

You want kids?

very close to an
actual, personal conversation.

Ebony the postal worker's

My Hallmark Christmas movie
cherry has been popped.
How's it going?
Okay.
I delivered a lot

Every third line was,
"Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas."
It's very white.
Like, let-me-speak-
to-your-manager white,

an hour for lunch,
so we can eat or we can fuck.
I have something
awkward to ask first.
I knew it.
I knew you were too good.
What? You married?
Going to jail?
- A Trumper?
- Hard no on all.
Wow,
you have some back story, huh?
- Back, front, and middle.

It's my birthday,
I'm having a party tonight
and I want you to come.
And before you say anything,
I know that we've only been
hanging out for a little bit
and might seem fast
to meet my friends,
and I showed front
like I don't care.
[Angie chuckles]
But I want to show you off,
Angie Wilson.
Shit.
You are too good.
Does that mean yes?
Because you are all I want
for my birthday.
And if you say no, I'm going to
have to cancel my party, so
Yes, I would love to come.
Then we should skip lunch
and make that happen.
Ooh.
And afterwards,
we can talk about my party.

Oh, mistletoe.

How am I this lucky?

that once payment
is accepted today,

my client from further claims.
Furthermore, Mr. Jones

different look for you.
What is this, like,
streetwear casual or something?
Well, no, I was fine
waiting because even
though you were 48 minutes
late, I'm not upset.
[chuckles]
Complicated morning.
I get it. I'm the queen
of complicated mornings.
Just yesterday,
another nanny quit
when I had Pilates

my white privilege,

just text 'cause waiting around
is so embarrassing.

- Of course we did.
- No, we didn't.
All the time. We did!
No, we didn't.
You got this after Dad
so that you didn't have
to deal with me.

would make you happy,

I have pictures of you smiling.
Yeah, but that doesn't change
the fact that he was dead.
Away!

oh, my God,
thank you so much.
Always.
[Camille]
And sometimes,
dropping a mask
can be more complicated.
[Ian] Camille, I'm closing up.
It's been a long night.
[Camille] This won't take long.
My mom told me to tell you hi.
Oh, great.
How is she?
Well, it wasn't
the worst visit I've had,
but I realized that
my mom will go through
great lengths
to avoid hard conversations.
And I can see that
I do the same.
It's as if not talking about it
and making every day a holiday
will somehow make it okay,
and I don't want to have
that kind of relationship.
Cam, we won't have
a relationship like that.
Yeah, but, I mean,
I'm keeping secrets
and you're checking my phone.
I mean,
we're kind of Mom-adjacent.
I should have told you about
Jameson coming to see me.
And I should have told
you about the doctor.
I just panicked.
You know, I didn't know how
you were going to react.
Oh, come on, baby,
you know me better than that.
And there are other ways
to have kids.
I mean adoption, surrogacy.
And you could even take in
Angie if you want.
[laughter]
But look, if this relationship
is going to work this time,
we have to figure
this out together.
All right?
No secrets.
I mean, that's why we're
in this, you know?
Thank you.
So what's the next step?
First me telling Jameson
that
I'm gonna do the grant
with you.
And not because you
and Ian decided for me,
but because the reason that
I didn't want to do it
is because I don't want to deal
with my own motherhood shit,
which is stupid, you know?
It's a great opportunity
and great visibility
and I need a job offer.
So yeah, I'm going to do it.
Yes!
- Yes.
- [Camille chuckles]
Thank you.
Ithis is exciting.
Yeah, but you just
remember this moment
when you realize what a pain
in the ass I am to work with.
No, but Camille, honestly,
I could not do this
without you.
Okay, you don't have
to lay it on so thick.
I said yes.
No, I mean,
they wouldn't approve the grant
if you weren't also
a part of it, so.
Me?
Why?
Why?
People listen to you online.
You're a
you're a whole thing.
I'm a whole thing?
So after years
of being less of a thing
or maybe a half
or kind of like a sixth,
my dreams of becoming a whole
thing have been realized?
[chuckles]
You know what I'm saying.
No, I don't.
Um, so we should probably
get a game plan in order.
- Computer.
- Mm-hmm.
- Snacks.
- Okay.
And that good old

Thank you guys
so much for coming.
I feel like such a dumbass
for going on about Mike
and bringing up "Vogue."
I wished you would
have told me at Pride.
But it's not
just about "Vogue."
I mean, it feels like
this is about everything.
- And nothing.
- [both] Mm.
[sighs]
I have so much.
- What am I so upset about?
- Mm-mm, mm-mm.
Don't feel guilty

[Angie] You have had

And if you want to talk shit
about Isabela, I got you.
We can start with her teeth.
She has beautiful teeth.
[Angie]
I don't give a fuck.
Everything about her will be
fucked up when I get through.
[Quinn chuckles]
Thank you.
I just feel like I need
to take a break from my life
for a few days, you know?
Just, like, forget everything.
Do you know who
you sound like?

who gets to write a memoir
about how she's feeling?
[laughter]
Camille after graduation.
Yes!
Oh, she was a mess.
Self-sabotaging her future,
wanting to blow off
grad school.
Mm-hmm.
Until our trip
to Puerto Rico!
Puerto Rico!
Puerto Rico!
[laughter]
Oh, my gosh.
That trip really helped her
through her struggle.
- [Tye] Mm-hmm.
- [Angie] Yes.
But that was then.
And this is now, and we are
very much the same friends.
Yes, but instead of
circling around our Camille,
we do it for you.
Mm-hmm.
That trip was everything.
Maybe the island still
has some healing magic?
There's literally no downside.
Mm-hmm.
Well, other than Tye
having to pay for most of it.
That's money
I would love to spend.
First class and a suite,

Going too far.

Where's Camille?
She should be here.
Uh-uh.

[Camille] In nature,
vulnerability is synonymous
with weakness, which pretty
much always leads to death.
That's why a sea turtle's
first moment on Earth
is a full-speed run to the water.
Move too slow
and you're bird food.
Sometimes people,
and specifically Black people,
when the deck
is stacked against them
in the survival department,
can get so good
at masking vulnerability
to the outside,
we don't even know it
when we're feeling it inside.
[tiger roars]
Yeah, so change of plans, man.
Camille ain't coming.
Hmm.
Interesting twist.
Yeah, so I'm here on her behalf
to tell you to stop
embarrassing yourself.
Just move on.
That's her saying that or you?
That's me for her.
Well, why couldn't
you just come here
and tell me herself?
I'm handling her lightweight.
- Lightweight?
- [Ian] Yeah.
That's from her or from you?
Yeah.
Is that you saying yeah
or you as Camille?
What the fuck
you talking about, man?
Man, I don't know.
[laughs]
Mm.
Just stop texting her.
Why would she send you

at Columbia yesterday?
You saw her yesterday?
And she didn't tell you.
Double twist.
But she told you to come here?
Well, she left her phone
and I seen your text.
So she's keeping secrets
and you're hacking her phone.
Happily ever after is
off to a great start.
Yeah, well, actually, it is.
And that little text message
you sent to her
about y'all being a good team?
It's bullshit.
We're the team.
She chose me, not you.
Bro, that text message
was about work.
We got offered a grant.
- A grant?
- [Jameson] Yeah.
A grant is when a foundation
pays you to do some research.
I know what a grant is, man.
I'm not fucking stupid.
Okay then.
What's the big deal?
She's looking for another job.
This would be great visibility
and money.
Then why did she say no?
Maybe she was afraid
you'd get worried
about her working with her ex?
Look, bro,
I love Camille, a'ight?
I don't want her
to give up work for me.
- And she should say yes.
- She absolutely should.
- [Ian] Yeah, I'll talk to her.
- [Jameson] I'll talk to her.
You talk to her.

Yeah, I'll never understand
the upside of white women
pretending they ain't white.

The bigger wage gaps?
Or is it the racism?
Or is it just pure jealousy

- Facts.

I heard that.
So now Columbia
is requiring paperwork

the grant that you guys
got going on.

holding secrets here.
Meaning what?
Why don't you tell me?
Oh, okay.
So coincidentally,
some text messages
from my doctor came through.
Or were you going through

It wasn't a secret.

Happy birthday to me ♪
Happy birthday to me ♪
I told you.
There's no birthday
without you.
But what about your party?
My wish was more important.
[sighs]
I'm coming up!
Here we go.
[grunts]
Oh, no.
All right.
This is the one.
[laughs]
[grunts]
Fuck!
Oh!
God!
[laughs]
You know, it looks so
much easier in the movies.
I'll buzz you.
3F.
NoI look terrible.
Don't talk about my girlfriend
like that.
[whispering]
Girlfriend.
Yes!
[soft upbeat music]
I can't believe
you left your own party.
I can't believe
you didn't show up.
♪
II just had
a really tough day at work.
And the quickest way to
get into a sister's head
is through her hair.
Well, I am here now
to help you out of your head,
'cause there are about
15 minutes left in my birthday.
Okay.
Where is your cake?
Some rat found it.
[laughs]
That was so fast.
- Fast can be good.
- Mm.
Let's go fast.
Fast.
Really?
Yeah.
[Inayah] And you keep
lovin' me harder ♪
Mm.
Mm!
[chuckles]
[Camille]
By dropping the mask,
by bringing fear out
of the darkness,
we can be free.
Don't kill me, don't kill me,
don't kill me.
What are you doing down there?
Finished like ten
don't-kill-mes ago.
I didn't even feel it.
Mm-hmm.
[laughter]
oh, my God,
thank you so much.
Always.
[Camille]
And sometimes,
dropping a mask
can be more complicated.
[Ian] Camille, I'm closing up.
It's been a long night.
[Camille] This won't take long.
My mom told me to tell you hi.
Oh, great.
How is she?
Well, it wasn't
the worst visit I've had,
but I realized that
my mom will go through
great lengths
to avoid hard conversations.
And I can see that
I do the same.
It's as if not talking about it
and making every day a holiday
will somehow make it okay,
and I don't want to have
that kind of relationship.
Cam, we won't have
a relationship like that.
Yeah, but, I mean,
I'm keeping secrets
and you're checking my phone.
I mean,
we're kind of Mom-adjacent.
I should have told you about
Jameson coming to see me.
And I should have told
you about the doctor.
I just panicked.
You know, I didn't know how
you were going to react.
Oh, come on, baby,
you know me better than that.
And there are other ways
to have kids.
I mean adoption, surrogacy.
And you could even take in
Angie if you want.
[laughter]
But look, if this relationship
is going to work this time,
we have to figure
this out together.
All right?
No secrets.
I mean, that's why we're
in this, you know?
Thank you.
So what's the next step?
First me telling Jameson
that
I'm gonna do the grant
with you.
And not because you
and Ian decided for me,
but because the reason that
I didn't want to do it
is because I don't want to deal
with my own motherhood shit,
which is stupid, you know?
It's a great opportunity
and great visibility
and I need a job offer.
So yeah, I'm going to do it.
Yes!
- Yes.
- [Camille chuckles]
Thank you.
Ithis is exciting.
Yeah, but you just
remember this moment
when you realize what a pain
in the ass I am to work with.
No, but Camille, honestly,
I could not do this
without you.
Okay, you don't have
to lay it on so thick.
I said yes.
No, I mean,
they wouldn't approve the grant
if you weren't also
a part of it, so.
Me?
Why?
Why?
People listen to you online.
You're a
you're a whole thing.
I'm a whole thing?
So after years
of being less of a thing
or maybe a half
or kind of like a sixth,
my dreams of becoming a whole
thing have been realized?
[chuckles]
You know what I'm saying.
No, I don't.
Um, so we should probably
get a game plan in order.
- Computer.
- Mm-hmm.
- Snacks.
- Okay.
And that good old
Professor Parks playlist.
- Hey now.
- Uh-huh.
All righty then.
So, like, you want
to do this right now?
Uh, I mean, are you not ready?
Excuse me?
No.
- What are you talking about?
- Just say it.
I stay ready.
Let's get it.
All right.

Thank you guys
so much for coming.
I feel like such a dumbass
for going on about Mike
and bringing up "Vogue."
I wished you would
have told me at Pride.
But it's not
just about "Vogue."
I mean, it feels like
this is about everything.
- And nothing.
- [both] Mm.
[sighs]
I have so much.
- What am I so upset about?
- Mm-mm, mm-mm.
Don't feel guilty
about your feelings.
[Angie] You have had
a rough few months.
And if you want to talk shit
about Isabela, I got you.
We can start with her teeth.
She has beautiful teeth.
[Angie]
I don't give a fuck.
Everything about her will be
fucked up when I get through.
[Quinn chuckles]
Thank you.
I just feel like I need
to take a break from my life
for a few days, you know?
Just, like, forget everything.
Do you know who
you sound like?
A middle-aged white woman
who gets to write a memoir
about how she's feeling?
[laughter]
Camille after graduation.
Yes!
Oh, she was a mess.
Self-sabotaging her future,
wanting to blow off
grad school.
Mm-hmm.
Until our trip
to Puerto Rico!
Puerto Rico!
Puerto Rico!
[laughter]
Oh, my gosh.
That trip really helped her
through her struggle.
- [Tye] Mm-hmm.
- [Angie] Yes.
But that was then.
And this is now, and we are
very much the same friends.
Yes, but instead of
circling around our Camille,
we do it for you.
Mm-hmm.
That trip was everything.
Maybe the island still
has some healing magic?
There's literally no downside.
Mm-hmm.
Well, other than Tye
having to pay for most of it.
That's money
I would love to spend.
First class and a suite,
please.
Going too far.
[Quinn takes deep breath]
A girl's trip
back to Puerto Rico.
Mm-hmm.
- Fuck, yeah.
- [both] Yes!
Bitch!
Yes.
Aw, it's going to be fun.
Where's Camille?
She should be here.
Uh-uh.
Text that bitch again.
[notification chimes]
[Camille] And sometimes,
vulnerability is so encompassing,
it can't be hidden.
No mask works,
weakness must be shown,
and life can change
in an instant.
Oh, shit.
