Bel-Air (2022) s03e05 Episode Script

1
Previously on "Bel-Air"
We need to get more work of our own.
Clear up Erika's firm.
Might be time to cut ties completely.
She told Viv about the kiss.
If we're gonna be partners,
we can't be beefing.
How many shirts did you order?
At least we got inventory.
How are we supposed to move
1,000 shirts in a week?
We can post it
on my music school's website.
A band?
I realised music is
kind of an outlet for me.
I found an artist.
Her name is Destiny.
She might be the new Neeman fellow.
Damn, bitch.
Are you always this fucking helpful,
or is showing off your ass
for T-shirt sales
the only way
you can pull his attention?
I had to cut off all contact,
or my family might be in danger.
Frederick's mum
couldn't handle it alone,
so she gave him up.
Hey, baby boo. You look new.
I'm Spencer, group moderator.
This marriage is stressful to you?
My new firm
You're gonna blame this on Carlton?
All I want is just
one night for myself.
No drama, no pressure.
Tell the girls about
the hot young chef.
Look how big he is.
I mean, you ain't
walking right for a week.

This looks amazing.
- Try 'em.
- Thank you.
Where's Dad?
Hey, what's going on here?
Dad, where are you coming from?
I was working late downstairs.
You slept in your office?
Yes, bumblebee, I slept in my office.
I was catching up on a lot of work,
and I didn't want to wake your mother
by coming to bed too late.
And oh, my goodness, this feast?
Wait, wait, wait, did you all
do this by yourselves?
Yeah.
I mean, I'm scared to see
what my kitchen looks like.
Better dig in, 'cause it
ain't gonna eat itself.
Thank you, son. Thank you. Mmm.
All right, well,
happy anniversary to you both,
and we love you very much.
- Aww, I love you.
- Happy anniversary.
Love you. Mwah, mwah, mwah.
This looks so delicious.
Thank you.
Well, happy anniversary.
Happy anniversary.
How long are we gonna keep doing this?
OK, so this is my fault?
I've given you your space.
It's been two days

Me neither.
Tonight, we get back to us.
Yeah.
- [SIGHS]
- Sheesh.
Did Hilary get back to you
with any social media ideas?
LaMarcus just had
his surgery, so it felt like
it'd be weird to hit her up now.
You boys still trying to figure out
how to get rid of your inventory?
Yeah, we just have
so much product to move.
And only a week to do it.
You know, Jazz was cool enough
to hook us up with his homey,
but we don't want to burn his connect.
Good.
Integrity in business goes a long way.
Your rep is all you got.
In the meantime, can you move
all this to the garage?
I don't want your mom
stressed out today.
Yep, yep.
Um, hey, Dad, I know today is
you and mom's special day, so,
you know, if you need any space
or anything, just let me know.
Oh, thanks, son.
Yeah, I mean, Will and I
will even take Ashley
to the movies or something if you guys
want the house to yourselves.
I appreciate that,
but it won't be necessary.
You doing OK?
You're not putting
too much pressure on yourself

- Oh, yeah.
Yeah, no. No, I'm good.

Something going on?
He has a burner phone.
Hmm.
I went through his things.
Only dials one number.

Did you ask him about it?
Don't want to play my hand just yet.
It could be anything, right?
A friend, maybe a girl he left behind.

How's playing pickleball
gonna solve any of our problems?
'Cause it's a celebrity tournament,

Pony Rich, baby!
- Pony Rich?
- Mm-hmm.
I love his music.
If we can get him in any

With his 60 million followers
We would sell out every shirt.
Easy.
Well, except the club has strict rules
against fraternising with members,
and we'd be fired for even
breathing in his direction.
Right.
So how do we get close enough
to shoot our shot?
You said you know

That is so sweet.
When I was in middle school,
my grandma used to take me
to those free museum days.
That's where I saw your painting
of the little Black girl
getting her hair combed.
"Sunday Best"?
Ah, I'd just graduated
from art school.
It was like staring back
at myself in a piece of art.
That's when I picked up
the paintbrush, and
[LAUGHS] Never stopped.
I love that story.
You are the reason
I paint Black women,
so people can see us.
Not just us strong,
but vulnerable and soft, you know?
I mean, look, we're human.
And people need to see
what's behind that superhero mask.
We out here saving
everybody but ourselves.
Mm.
Sorry about the DMs
and for painting on your building.
I hope that didn't come off
too stalker-y.
Anyways, I just
I want to say thank you for
showing me what was possible
and maybe get your autograph.

"Sunday Best."
And can I get a selfie too?
Is that OK?
[LAUGHS] Sure.

we belong, you know?
Even the uniforms are nicer.

I worked my ass off for you

So how did you get into cooking?
Military.
I figured if I could cook
for hundreds of soldiers,
then I could handle
a restaurant no problem.
I studied at the Culinary Art Academy
in Switzerland, actually.
Oh, I love Switzerland.
You cannot find
good raclette here, though.
They don't let the good
cheese out of the country,

a place on Melrose.

Oh, Phil!
I didn't know
you were coming in today.
Yeah, I thought I'd surprise you,
take you for lunch at Manuela,

already enjoying yourself.
No, no, no. We can go.
No, no, no, no, no.

- It's good to see you.
- You too.
There's plenty here
if you want to join us.
Oh, no, that won't be necessary.
These are for you.
See you back at the house.
So not one single person showed?
I mean, who doesn't want
to be in a band?
Might help if we made it
sound fun, at least.
What do you mean?
"Make music that matters.
"No flakes, no fakes.
Resist, persist, and thrive."
It's kind of intense.
Because music should express
what we're feeling.
What about music that makes
you want to smile and dance?
Escape?
If it doesn't have a point
of view, what's the point?
The point of all of this
was to cheer you up.
You know, I find it a little annoying
that you think you always have to.
Look, my parents got
divorced last year.
- But I'm not
- Divorced?
My parents are not getting divorced.
Sorry. That's not what I meant.
Maybe I just have

to just escape.
Maybe so.
I should probably get going, anyway.
